Chapter 186 The War Begins Nanqi Is His Peace of Mind
Since O'Connor didn't say anything, Keppel naturally didn't bother to bother with him anymore. The attention of the two insects and one intelligent being was once again attracted by Nan Qi.
O'Connor was right when he said Nan Qi could control it. The distorted and broken space around Nan Qi did not expand outwards, and there was even a faint sign of closing. Keppel felt slightly relieved.
At this moment, his and Lenk's star brains rang at the same time. Lenk took a look and his face turned pale. He looked at Keppel in panic.
"Your Highness, what should we do? It's Bai." Lunke felt that he was going bald these days. Nan Qi was not a worry-free person, and Bai was even more of a death-teller.
Lunke understood Nan Qi's actions and Bai's concerns, but he couldn't handle it. The daily lies and constant fear had made his days feel like years, like he was about to die at any moment.
With Keppel's help, they finally managed to get over the situation, giving him two days of respite.
Now that this information has arrived, it is equivalent to covering his mouth and nose directly. Not to mention breathing, he is about to be suffocated.
Keppel also had a headache. Bai was extremely alert, and with how affectionate he was with Nan Qi, it was impossible for them not to contact each other for several days.
Bai had probably guessed Nan Qi wouldn't be able to contact him, and only felt reassured because he and Lunke had vouched for him. Logically, Bai trusted them and wouldn't have sent another message to inquire, even if he was still worried. But Bai didn't.
Something must have happened again, causing Bai to notice something, which made him so anxious.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Lenk was a little anxious when he saw Keppel remained silent.
The communication time is usually only fifteen minutes. If there is no reply within two minutes, Bai will probably directly request a video call. Whether he answers the call or not, it will be easy to be exposed, and then they will have kept it secret for so long in vain.
Although Nan Qi was now in a stable condition and out of danger, Bai's regard for Nan Qi, his deception, and Bai's vindictive nature meant that he would definitely suffer a heavy fate once the dust settled.
A bitter taste rose in Lenk's mouth. What kind of fate was this for him?
Just when Lenk was at a loss for what to do, O'Connor spoke up, "I warned you from the beginning not to hide this from Admiral Smellid. Now it's no use hiding it. Just tell him directly."
Lenk reacted voluntarily and confronted O'Connor, "You don't understand. There are a lot of things on Bai's side that need his attention. It's better to have less trouble than more."
"So?" O'Connor narrowed his eyes. "So you won't tell him?"
With a cold snort, O'Connor said speechlessly, "He is Nan Qi's partner. When Nan Qi decided to absorb the essence, he wanted to tell him, but it was an accident that prevented him from saying it. If you didn't tell him, have you ever considered how you would face Admiral Smellid if Nan Qi failed this time?"
These words startled both Lenk and Keppel. They had some idea why O'Connor had not mentioned many things to them, and why there was a vague hostility coming from O'Connor.
Because in the end, between Nan Qi and Bai, they chose to care more about Bai's safety.
Nan Qi clearly took the risk to absorb the origin for them, but they kept it a secret, simply because Bai was at the front line and they were afraid that Bai would be distracted and something would happen.
This not only completely disregarded Bai's wishes, but also ignored Nan Qi's efforts.
However, the result of this approach did not reassure Bai. If Nan Qi really got into trouble, Bai could not resent them for their so-called "good intentions", otherwise he would be an ungrateful person.
What seems to be a good practice for Bai is actually a fundamental lack of respect for Bai.
For Nan Qi, after waking up and knowing what they did, he couldn't blame them because they were doing it for Bai's own good.
They ignore the dangers and sacrifices Nan Qi has made. Are they really worthy of being Nan Qi's friends and worthy of Nan Qi making so much effort for them?
After figuring this out, Keppel took two deep breaths and said, "Lunk, send a video call to Bai. We really don't have the right to make decisions for Bai and Nan Qi. Our hearts have been biased from the beginning. It's time to straighten them out."
Lunk lowered his head in shame and quickly sent a request for a video call to Bai.
*
Bai hadn't come out since returning to the tent. After sending the message, he stared at Xingnao in a daze, his mind racing with the memories of his acquaintance with Nan Qi.
Nan Qi's brilliant smile and broad, warm embrace made him feel even colder to the bone. He couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't even hold the Star Brain in his hand, which fell onto the handmade short-pile carpet that Nan Qi had carefully selected.
There was a snap, but no sound came from it, and Bai shuddered.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
The vibration caused Xingnao to turn half a circle with difficulty on the short-pile carpet before he was picked up by Bai. After seeing who was calling, he took a deep breath and rubbed his face hard. Only after he looked less pale did he click to answer the call.
Keppel and Lenk's faces and Nan Qi who was "huggled" by the giant beast in mid-air.
Nan Qi stood in the air with his eyes closed. His overgrown hair had grown to his ankles and moved without wind, making his three-dimensional facial features even more sharp and handsome. Just looking at him would make you feel like you were being cut.
Bai could no longer maintain his composure. The trembling in his voice, even through countless data compressions, was clearly transmitted to the ears of Lenk and Keppel.
"Nan Qi, what happened to Nan Qi? Why did the nine-tailed cat come out? Why didn't he open his eyes? What are you hiding?"
"Bai, don't worry, listen to me." Seeing Bai's eyes were red with anxiety, Lun Ke felt even more guilty and said quickly, "Don't worry, Nan Qi just got a level up, he's fine now, just wait for him to wake up."
"Already?" Bai was very good at grasping the key points. "You mean something happened before, right? Today!"
Lunke blurted out: "How do you know..."
Before the word "Tao" came out of his mouth, Bai glared at Lunk and choked Lunk back.
Lunke trembled: "Bai, I'm sorry."
Bai took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and opened them again after a moment, his usual composure restored.
"Five hours ago, the bandit coalition launched a desperate counterattack. At the same time, all of the bandit suppression coalition's intelligent equipment malfunctioned and was paralyzed. The weapons depot was locked..."
Bai quickly relayed the important information from the front lines: "Because His Royal Highness had communicated with me in advance, I was prepared for this, but for half an hour the entire anti-bandit coalition army was still thrown into chaos."
"The thieves seemed to know that we would be at our most vulnerable at that time, so I suspected that it was the Insect King who took action. You and I both know Nan Qi's identity. If the main brain is affected, Nan Qi may also be affected. Now it seems that my guess was correct."
Lunke blinked and became more cautious: "Bai, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have kept it from you. I don't know the specifics, so I can only tell you what I know. The rest can only wait until Nan Qi wakes up."
Keppel also spoke at the right time: "We were indeed wrong in this matter. When everything is over, Lunke and I will apologize to you and Nanqi."
Keppel said this seriously, without any perfunctory attitude at all.
Bai didn't say magnanimously that it was not necessary, and he would not make any move to forgive Nan Qi.
This time it was Keppel and the others who went too far. Even though Bai knew they were doing it for his own good, he was sad, very sad.
I'm not sad for myself, I'm sad for Nan Qi.
In his previous life, Nan Qi was the hope of mankind, carrying all the expectations placed on him by mankind. He lived like an ascetic monk, and ultimately, for the sake of everyone, he died heroically at a young age, leaving no trace of his body.
In his short life, he was a savior hero in the eyes of the world, a peerless strong man, and an undefeated myth. The only thing he was not was a flesh and blood body that felt pain, tiredness, sadness, and needed care and love.
It is the same today. Even though he is silently sacrificing himself for the whole world, the pain inflicted on him is still ignored.
Bai's heart was so painful that he had to slow down his breathing.
Lenk seemed to notice that something was wrong with Bai and was about to speak when he was stopped by Keppel.
Keppel sighed inwardly, feeling ashamed of his actions again, thinking that he was really getting old and confused.
Sighing again, Keppel calmly changed the subject and told Bai everything O'Connor had said about Nan Qi and their guesses.
Keppel's narration was concise and easy to understand, but it also took some time. By the time Bai understood it, only 3 minutes were left of the 15 minutes of communication.
Keppel then quickly spoke about how Peddie Williams had found material that could block the chaos main brain for a long time. At this time, there was only one minute left in the communication time.
During this minute, Bai didn't say anything, but just looked at Nan Qi standing in the air through the screen. Seeing this, Lenk and Keppel pointed the camera at Nan Qi.
Bai looked at Nan Qi's face greedily, and he couldn't recover for a long time until the communication was automatically cut off due to signal blocking.
Sitting alone in the dark, the patrol light of the base shone through the window onto Bai's face. A clear tear slid down Bai's cheek, hid in the short-pile carpet carefully selected by Nan Qi, and disappeared.
After a moment, suppressed sobs were heard.
Bai was scared.
After so many years and several life-and-death experiences, he no longer knew what fear was. Even though he and his teacher were plotted against by the Insect King, he only felt hatred, not fear.
Today he seemed to have finally found the last piece of his missing emotion and finally knew what it felt like to be afraid.
He was really afraid that Nan Qi would leave him silently.
This fear was like a cancer attached to Bai's bones, clinging to him tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, and his heart ached so much that it seemed like it was about to explode.
Bai clutched the clothes tightly around his heart, leaned on Nan Qi's pillow, absorbed the scent left by Nan Qi, and cried silently.
Nan Qi, who was far away in the black market, seemed to have sensed something. His face, with his eyes closed and no expression at all, suddenly frowned. The steady aura around him suddenly became cold, and the closed space cracked into spider-web-like patterns again, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.
The two insects and one intelligent being were all startled. Lunke spoke quickly and shouted, "Isn't the Insect King doing something crazy again?"
O'Connor immediately began to search for information, but the result puzzled him. The Insect King did not move at all and was having a meal in his Pet Lord Palace. However, the Pet Lord was very interesting. It seemed that he had given the Insect King a chronic poison.
But the Insect King didn't move, so what could explain Nan Qi's reaction? Had something gone wrong again? Was Nan Qi, a member of the Insect race, no longer able to absorb the stripped essence?
Did Nan Qi make a mistake?
For a moment, O'Connor's CPU was spinning frantically, trying to find the reason for Nan Qi's change.
At this moment, Keppel said softly: "No need to look for him, Nan Qi, he's awake."
O'Connor was just about to say how that was possible when a familiar electric shock-like shudder ran through his body from head to toe.
The mark imprinted on the central control panel suddenly became hot, as if it was going to burn him.
It was not until this moment that O'Connor remembered that this feeling was the submission of his "soul" to the "Father God" who created them.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Nan Qi in the air with burning eyes. Nan Qi had opened his eyes and was looking down at him. He felt as if everything had changed and he was in a daze.
Nan Qi's eyes turned from emerald green to brilliant gold, shining as brightly as a white dwarf star, so hot that it could melt everything.
The giant beast behind him stretched lazily, and its nine furry tails covered Nan Qi like the sky blocking out the sun.
The huge cat head hovered at Nan Qi's feet, lifted Nan Qi up lightly, and disappeared with Nan Qi into the shattered space in the next second. The space immediately returned to its original state, as if Nan Qi had never been there.
Keppel: “!!!”
Lunke lost his voice: "!!!Where's Nan Qi?!"
O'Connor blinked and whispered, "Gone."
"Gone?" Lunk roared. "Where did you go?"
O'Connor scratched the back of his head. "Maybe he's back on the front lines. His ability is related to space. He created the black market, and he also opened the passage for you to enter the black market. This shouldn't be difficult for him."
Lunk: "??? Going back? Just leaving me like that?"
Keppel patted his shoulder and said, "Go back by yourself. I have to go back too. Your teacher will be home soon."
After saying that, Keppel turned and left. O'Connor thought for a moment and patted Lunk on the shoulder: "Do you want me to take my starship back? It's considered an apology for Nan Qi."
Lunke: “…”
He turned and left, he was really convinced. He had been worried and frightened for so many days, living like a madman. He was tired of it. It was better not to take him with him. It just happened that he didn't know how to face Bai.
Since Nan Qi was able to travel through space and return, his strength must have reached its peak, so he doesn't have to worry about anything happening in the middle.
Thinking of this, Lunke felt much better and calmer, and he was in the mood to fight against the alien creatures of the same level as Nanqi.
What exactly is the Lord?
Nan Qi is so strong, he can only die together with him. If the Lord of the Alien Creatures is alive in their life, they don't need to struggle and can just wait for death.
It's really scary.
Shuddering, Lunk muttered softly, "Thank goodness, Number Seven shouldn't be as difficult to deal with as the Alien Master. Thanks to Nan Qi, and thanks to Dr. Pan Xi for keeping Nan Qi here."
Lunke muttered as he walked out of the black market, and Nan Qi appeared beside Bai like a breeze.
The breeze was too light, and Bai, immersed in his own world, didn't feel it, or even if he felt it, he didn't want to move.
The scent left by Nan Qi became weaker and weaker, unable to soothe Bai's torn and aching heart.
Reality does not allow Bai to be decadent for too long. Tomorrow morning he must transform back into the decisive, calm and steady commander-in-chief.
But Bai is not a machine, he has flesh and blood and feelings. The long-suppressed emotions burst out and the pain made him almost faint.
Bai felt that he was losing his mind as his mental power surged along with his emotions. He could only hold Nan Qi's pillow and bury his head in it, trying to soothe himself by absorbing the scent left by Nan Qi.
Because Nan Qi is where his heart is at peace.
Bai smiled bitterly and comforted himself: "It's okay, Nan Qi is okay, and I'm okay too. I want to get better as soon as possible and wait for Nan Qi to come back."
In a trance, Bai felt like he was being embraced in a warm embrace, and the unique scent of sunshine on Nan Qi's body overbearingly invaded Bai's sense of smell.
Bai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of him, which was looking at him tenderly with bright golden eyes. After a while, he said infatuatedly, "Have I missed you too much?"
What answered him was Nan Qi's passionate kiss, tight hug and huge mental comfort.
Bai gradually regained his clarity of mind. After the kiss, he stared at the even more handsome face without blinking, and his hands eagerly touched the handsome face.
The warm and elastic touch, the breath on his hand, all told Bai one fact: Nan Qi was back, his Nan Qi was back.
"Nan Qi..." Bai stroked Nan Qi's face, as if unsure, his voice trembling as tears streamed down his cheeks. "Are you really back?"
Nan Qi's lips curled up, revealing a smile that was brighter than his eyes. He placed his warm hand on the back of Bai's hand that was caressing his face, and replied softly, "I'm back, Bai, I'm back to you."
As soon as the words fell, there was another kiss that was long enough to suffocate him. When Nan Qi let go of Bai, their foreheads touched.
"Now believe that I'm back."
Bai hugged Nan Qi's neck and panted, "I thought I was dreaming."
Nan Qi gently pecked Bai's lips, which were already swollen from his kiss, and said with a smile: "Is this still a dream?"
"No." Bai felt embarrassed. Nan Qi saw him crying bitterly, and he was crying while hugging Nan Qi's pillow. He really didn't have the face to see Nan Qi.
With their spiritual power and telepathy connected, Nan Qi sensed Bai's shyness and the fear that had not yet dissipated.
His heart trembled, and a dense sour feeling surged up, making him not know how to place the full love that Bai had given him. He could only hug Bai tightly and tell Bai over and over again that he was back.
The vigorous heartbeats, entangled and intertwined through the hearts pressed against each other, gradually merged into one heartbeat, which was particularly beautiful in the silent night.
"Okay, I'll take you to take a shower." After an unknown amount of time, Nan Qi broke the silence.
Bai Lian buried his face in Nan Qi's neck and hummed softly. His voice was nasal and sounded tender.
Nan Qi couldn't help but laugh, picked up Bai and walked towards the bathroom: "Little crybaby, let's go take a shower."
white:"……"
Sli and Slang, who were standing outside the door like goal gods, frowned, and Mellon also had a rather unhappy expression.
It has been almost three hours since Bai came back. There was movement before, but why is there no movement at all in the past half hour?
They were worried but didn't dare to go in, as they had faintly heard crying sounds before.
Although Bai tried his best to suppress it, they were all high-level female insects with keen five senses, so how could they not hear it?
There was no sound at this time, but if they rushed in and saw Bai's swollen eyes, they would probably be in trouble when Bai recovered.
The consequences of not getting any good results are secondary. Bai probably doesn't want them to see his vulnerable side. As friends and subordinates, they should respect Bai's wishes.
But then again, they are really worried! What should they do?
The three insects looked at each other and asked each other what to do.
Unfortunately, they racked their brains but couldn't come up with any good solution. In the end, they could only stand at the door with wide eyes, staring at the closed door longingly, trying to develop the ability to see through things.
But this time they didn't stand there for long. Twenty minutes later, the closed door opened. When the three bugs looked up, they were all stunned.
"Nan Qi!? Why are you here?!" Melon was shocked, his eyes widening. "You, you, you, how can your hair be so long? And what's wrong with your eyes?!"
Nan Qi smiled slightly: "Don't stand there, come in and talk, it's not clear in a few words. Sly, help me invite Lieutenant General Murphy."
Sly nodded and quickly disappeared into the night.
When Mellon and Slang entered the room, they saw Bai, who had changed into comfortable home clothes, sitting obediently on the sofa. His eyes were still a little red and swollen, but he looked much better and even smiled when he saw them.
Nan Qi walked over and sat next to Bai, naturally reaching out to hold Bai's ankles, placing Bai's legs on his knees, and holding Bai's cold feet with his big hands.
Mellon and the others were there. Bai was a little shy and tried to pull back, but Nan Qi grabbed him. However, Nan Qi took Bai's feelings into consideration and pulled a blanket over him. He looked at the two insects who had been silent since entering the room and said, "Sit down."
Mellon and Silang sat opposite Nan Qi, feeling a little hesitant.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the feeling of seeing Nan Qi this time is completely different from before.
Nan Qi looked even taller, with his ankle-length hair held up high by a hair tie, making him look handsome and a little more fierce.
The originally black eyes turned into a brilliant golden color, flowing under the light, as if they were about to overflow from the pupils. Looking at them for one more moment would feel like being burned.
The aura around him changed from a gentle breeze and drizzle to a towering mountain, pressing them to the point where they could hardly breathe.
Mellon was a little impressed with himself. He actually dared to ask Nan Qi so many questions in a row. He must have been so hungry that he was dizzy.
Mellon was quiet, his voice was hoarse from crying, and he didn't want to speak. Silang didn't dare to speak either. For a moment, there was no other sound in the living room except the sound of Nan Qi's clothes rubbing against each other.
The awkward silence was not broken until Murphy arrived.
"Brother Nan Qi, how did you get back?!" Murphy was shocked. He pushed Mellon aside and sat down opposite Nan Qi and Bai. He looked Nan Qi up and down and marveled. "Your new look suits you better. This is what a man should look like. You were too thin before."
"Thank you." Nan Qi nodded in thanks and went straight to the point without further ado. "I've regained my memory this time and remembered three extremely important things. I hope Brother Murphy is prepared."
"What happened? You lost your memory?" Murphy was puzzled. "I haven't heard you mention it."
"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Brother Murphy, I don't even know myself." Nan Qi smiled calmly, then dropped the first bomb, "I am Subject 001."
"What?!"
"How is that possible?"
"It's a liar."
The trio remembered that the loudest voices among them were the twins, namely Experimental Subjects 061 and 062, and they were related to Subject 001.
Before, they did feel that some of Nan Qi's characteristics were like those of an experimental subject, but they did not have the kind of mutual sensitivity towards Nan Qi that they had with experimental subjects.
After spending time together, they didn't find any similarities between Nan Qi and their experimental subjects. Gradually, they all felt that they were overthinking.
Now Nan Qi suddenly said that he was Subject No. 001, which was like a bomb exploding on their heads. They were blown to pieces without any preparation.
Murphy was calm: "What else?"
Nan Qi mentioned three things, and this is the first one.
Nan Qi slowly said the second thing: "I am the real intelligence of the Mastermind. I was brought back by the Zerg and awakened 20,000 years ago. Later, I opened up the black market and became its master. I also built the Fengshengheli Tower."
Mellon: “!!!”
Twins: “!!!”
Murphy: "...Brother Nan Qi, your joke is not funny."
Nan Qi didn't explain, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the star brains of the three insects and one person responded immediately.
The sounds of intelligent responses intertwined together, sounding very strange.
"Do you believe it? If you don't..." Nan Qi snapped his fingers again, and all the intelligence in the room responded at the same time. The scene was both spectacular and weird.
"If you still don't believe it..." Nan Qi snapped his fingers for the third time, and Murphy's Star Brain suddenly spoke, "Master, Xiaoba misses Xiaoqi. When are we going back?"
Murphy: “!!!”
Xiao Qi is the family's gaming pod. He always uses the Star Brain to adjust settings when needed. Has his Star Brain intelligence developed autonomous consciousness?!
"You..." Murphy held his forehead, "Wait a minute, let me digest it."
Nan Qi considerately gave them time to digest the food, turned his head to look at Bai whose eyes were red, and exchanged a sweet look with Bai.
After a moment, Murphy said, "I won't ask what happened first. Tell me what the third thing is."
Nan Qi's eyes were deep. "Third, don't trust Number Seven. He is not the main brain intelligence that accompanied me in my birth. Instead, he is the spiritual energy of the alien creature master who died with me in my previous life."
"Wait, wait, your previous life?" Murphy was getting more and more confused. "What are you? Zerg? A mastermind? Or nothing at all?"
Nan Qi's lips curled up slowly, his eyes looking deep: "I am a human, an ancient human that became extinct 300,000 years ago."
"ah?"
The three bugs all widened their eyes at the same time, their jaws dropping in shock.
Bai, who had already known Nan Qi's identity in his previous life, was a little excited. He pulled his feet back, leaned lazily on Nan Qi's shoulder, and looked at the surprised expressions of his friends.
After a while, Mellon murmured, "No wonder you chose Lieutenant General Murphy as your ally. It turns out it's because you have a good impression of humans."
Nan Qi did not deny it and told the whole story of his previous life, how he became the main brain, how he changed from the main brain to the Zerg, and how he was taken back to the Imperial Research Institute by the Zerg and became No. 001.
"Actually, becoming a Zerg was an accident. Back then, when I wanted to completely detach my origin, I had to abandon digitization and drain all my mental power from the main brain."
"Just when I was in trouble, I met a dying Zerg. He made a deal with me and gave me his body. I fulfilled his wish and took over his body after his death."
"The pain of being stripped of my origin left me weakened, forcing me to fall asleep. I only had time to explain those things to O'Connor before I fell asleep. While asleep, I couldn't control my own energy. To prevent the black market from collapsing, I left when my energy became uncontrollable."
"You all know what happened next." Nan Qican's golden eyes turned, "I was taken back to the Imperial Research Institute and became Experimental Subject 001. Ten years ago, the Imperial Research Institute was attacked by the Harberson Research Institute led by the eldest prince Harber Walker. I just woke up and took the opportunity to slip away."
"But being stripped of my origin was too painful. After escaping the Institute, I fell asleep again. I drifted alone in the universe until Arnold picked me up and I truly woke up."
"Unfortunately, I actually forgot my previous memories. I only thought that I died together with the Lord of the Alien Creatures, and then traveled to 300,000 years later." Nan Qi smiled helplessly.
"Your experience is quite tortuous." Murphy took a deep breath, not knowing what to say. "Well, first, let's talk about what exactly this Alien Creature Lord is."
Nan Qi nodded. "The origin of the Alien Lord is unknown, and his strength is about the same as mine. My ability is related to space and can shatter it. His ability is related to gravity, called black hole gravity, and can easily swallow large galaxies like the Kron Galaxy."
"Fuck, is this still a creature that can survive in this world? It's too unscientific." Murphy opened his mouth and uttered a string of garbled words, cursing.
Nan Qi touched his nose, feeling that he had even scolded himself.
"But don't worry. He has no body now and can only rely on his main brain to operate. The real Number Seven has been devoured by him. In addition, he has been trying to trick the Insect King into transforming him, hoping to use his intelligence to start a war."
"Then why didn't you stop him before?" Murphy was puzzled. "If you were the true mastermind intelligence and he was a virus, you could have completely eliminated him, or you could have guided the Zerg not to develop intelligence based on you."
"Because we can't stop it." Bai suddenly spoke, his hoarse voice strangely attractive. "The Zerg are so greedy that even if Nan Qi guides them, they will definitely use him as a blueprint to develop intelligence."
"Nan Qi was probably still in a weak state at that time. Having lost his secret key, even the main brain itself could not break through the control set by the programmers. If he showed up, he would most likely be forced to fall asleep again. This is why Nan Qi and the alien creature master did not appear on the stage."
Nan Qi nodded. "Besides that, I didn't realize at first that the Alien Master was also sleeping in the main brain. After being picked up by the Zerg, I have been recuperating and never thought such a problem would arise. Until three hundred years ago, when I returned from my travels, I suddenly discovered traces of the Alien Master."
"I checked all the parts. I discovered an extra material on the mainframe's hardware control panel, along with an inexplicable program. I can't kill him. Not only can I not kill him, but he has no limitations, while I do. I will be slowly suppressed by him."
"Are you saying that there's no such thing as the Alien Lord in the original mainframe program?" Mellon's voice changed, his facial expression contorted. "Are we courting our own doom and dragging the entire world down with us?"
"You can think so, but it's not just the Zerg who are involved in the attack on the main brain. Things related to the Lord of Alien Creatures are hard to find. I am more inclined to believe that this thing has always existed and was kept by one or several countries until it appeared in the world three hundred years ago." Nan Qi replied.
"This means that we have committed a great disaster together." Mellon was desperate.
Nan Qi continued, "Since then, I've been going in and out of the area of the planet where I was first discovered more and more frequently, hoping to find the secret key, remove all restrictions, and kill the virus. Unfortunately, I failed, so I can only find a way to weaken it first."
"I spent two hundred years destroying every chance he had of regaining his body. Fifty years ago, I stripped him of his very essence, weakening him even further."
"So what's your situation now?" Murphy pointed at Nan Qi's drastically changed appearance.
Nan Qi said calmly, "I have already recovered the stripped essence and reached the peak of my strength, but he still has no physical form. With my return, his control over the main brain has weakened. Now it's time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack!"
"Wait a minute, let me take it easy. It's not that I don't believe you, but this is too unbelievable." Murphy patted his chest, feeling like he was about to suffocate.
Nan Qi wanted to give Murphy some time to think, but Bai pressed on: "Brother Murphy, do you remember when all the intelligent systems failed? That was the alien creature master using Hoover Walker to test them again. The bandit suppression coalition is their pawn and vanguard. Are you sure you still want to think about it? Don't you want to take the initiative?"
Murphy: "...It's no use just forcing me. There are so many representatives. How are you going to deal with it? They may not believe it. Are we just going to watch the war break out? Can we just smash its core components?"
Nan Qi shook his head. "If it were that simple, I wouldn't have risked stripping away his essence and weakening him. In a sense, we are already life forms of a higher dimension. As long as the data network exists, it doesn't matter how many components he inhabits you destroy. It's just the house he lives in."
"Fuck it," Murphy said irritably. "This is too much of a rip-off. This is a world war, how many lives are needed to fill it?"
When it comes to this, everyone falls silent.
After a long moment, Nan Qi sighed, "No matter who you are, you must always be responsible for the decisions you make. Karma is the eternal truth."
"But the superiors committed evil, so why should we bear the consequences together? This is unfair." Silang was indignant. It was obvious that they had done nothing wrong.
Nan Qi couldn't answer this question either. Fairness only exists in peace. In troubled times, whoever has the stronger fist is fair.
"What should we do now?" Sley patted his brother's head and asked seriously.
Bai turned to look at Nan Qi, who said, "What we need to do is replenish weapons and ammunition, raise the combat readiness levels of each planet under the pretext of thieves roaming around, and quietly send elite teams back to the highest planet to wait for the final battle to break out. Hopefully, this will avoid excessive casualties."
The Lord of the Alien Creatures used three major bandit gangs to hold them back. This was an open conspiracy.
If they returned home without a care in the world, not to mention whether other countries would believe such an incredible thing, even if they did, the bandits they had let go would join forces with the alien creature lord to attack them from both sides, and the situation would only be worse than it was now.
It would be better to take advantage of the situation, sneak into Chencang, and maximize the benefits.
No one here is stupid. Even if we are unwilling, holding our breath, and unwilling to see our compatriots suffer, we have to consider the overall situation.
Sometimes, considering the overall situation is the most difficult decision.
Murphy gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you tell me, I'll do it."
Nan Qi: "Then I'll trouble Brother Murphy to go to the black market for arrangements. I will open a passage to the black market on the stationed planet."

Once again returning to the stationed planet from the hidden space channel leading to the black market, Murphy sighed that it was fortunate that he believed in Nan Qi.
God knows how shocked he was when he saw Nan Qi clearing a passage in front of him with his bare hands.
At that moment, he completely believed everything Nan Qi said. Fear was entangled in his nerves, and he didn't say a word for a full five minutes.

They had no choice but to give up these two options and start cooperating with Aiyou, trying to stockpile supplies in preparation for the war.
Another half month passed like this, and when most countries were asleep, the war broke out!
