Where is this?
Xia Shizhao stood on an unfamiliar street, somewhat bewildered.
The entire street was dilapidated, the houses next to it looked like they had a lot of historical marks, and the cement ground was a bit dirty and cracked, making it look extremely unsafe, completely unlike Starlink Planet.
Seriously, wasn't I sleeping...?
Realizing he was dreaming, Xia Shizhao relaxed his guard considerably and strolled leisurely along the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar street.
I've never been here before, so why would I dream about it? And where did this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?
It feels like I've lived here before.
I strolled along the road, seemingly unconcerned.
Sudden.
A childish voice came from the alley ahead: "Sister! Over here!!"
"Slow down, don't fall!"
Xia Shizhao stood there, looking at and listening to the voices, which seemed strangely familiar. When the two people ran out, he looked over and found that their faces were all fogged up and he couldn't see their features clearly.
Then she just stared blankly as they brushed past her.
Watching the figure chasing the child, Xia Shizhao felt a strange sense of familiarity.
That's weird.
She's never seen these people before.
Where is this place?
While wandering aimlessly, Xia Shizhao suddenly saw a poster.
Her pupils contracted slightly. This place was the impoverished planet where Ye Qiuling used to live, but it was completely transformed after Ye Qiuling gained the ability to do so.
When she arrived on this planet, she only saw its prosperous side. Why then did her dream show its former dilapidated and decaying state?
Did she come here before when she was on a mission?
Why do I have no recollection of this?
Confused and about to continue walking, Xia Shizhao was suddenly startled by the sound of an alarm clock.
He opened his eyes, slapped his hand on the personal terminal, picked it up, and glanced at it.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
I slept for three hours.
"I should turn off the alarm," Xia Shizhao yawned and lazily sat up from the sofa.
He hugged the pillow and fell backward.
A message from a mercenary.
"Boss Shi, there are no more undiscovered energy stones in the interstellar space. The commission can be terminated now."
Xia Shizhao sighed as he looked at the message.
There's nothing left that can be used as an energy blast.
What exactly is this "youyou energy"? Who invented it? It's so mysterious.
Suddenly remembering the stone that had no energy at all, she used the leftover pieces to make a pendant for Xiao Hu, besides using it to make an energy slot for Ye Qiuling's mecha.
When she went to Ye Qiuling's house to look for the pendant, she couldn't find it.
I did find a few of Ye Qiuling's diaries.
Although it was impolite... she inexplicably flipped through it that day.
Thinking about what she had written, Xia Shizhao's expression was indescribable.
Fortunately, Ye Qiuling was rational enough. If she had done what she wrote in her diary, she would have definitely turned the world upside down with her.
Xia Shizhao unconsciously tapped his right index finger, rested his chin on his left hand, and glanced at the date.
Time seems to be flying by.
Ye Qiuling, you should be back by now...
For some reason, Xia Shizhao felt uneasy.
Didi.
Liu Ruxuan's personal terminal sent a message, and Xia Shizhao clicked to answer.
"You seem to be in much better spirits. I forgot to tell you, in another week it will be General Ye's..."
Liu Ruxuan paused, her eyes darting around, "Shouldn't you go? If you don't, people will talk about you."
Xia Shizhao rubbed against the pillow, seemingly in a bad mood, and lowered his eyes to answer coldly, "I'm not going."
"Uh, okay, alright then you can rest."
Liu Ruxuan turned off the floating screen, looked at Bai Jing and Luo Chuyi, and silently shook her head, indicating that she was powerless to help.
They exchanged a glance and could only give up.
"Sigh, General Xia keeps refusing to acknowledge that General Ye died in battle, he doesn't go to the memorial service for his death anniversary, and it's almost September 30th, he won't go to the Martyrs' Memorial Day either..."
Luo Chuyi stopped talking halfway through her sentence; her head was starting to hurt.
There are some rumors circulating outside, speculating that General Xia deliberately harmed General Ye. Although the person who spread the rumors has been arrested, it is easy to spread rumors but difficult to refute them.
In addition, Xia Shizhao had never visited General Ye's cemetery.
The rumors intensified.
"...Never mind, General Xia will figure it out. We'll go the same way."
Bai Jing had no choice; he couldn't very well kidnap them, and besides, they were no match for Xia Shizhao…
