Chapter 030 The Usurper Villain Alpha5
"Protect... this empire?" Si Wang smiled lightly, his bloodstained face twisted in pain, "Is that what he said?"
"I know you won't be able to accept what I'm saying now, so let Xiaoyan tell you in person. Anyway, I've already revealed so much, there's no point in hiding it any further." Hao Hui said anxiously, "Have you found Xiaoyan? Can you tell me what news you have now? You don't know how bad his condition is now. In addition to suppressing the brain worm with his own mental power, he also needs me to prescribe some medicine for him to use as an aid. I need to check on his physical condition immediately!"
It was silent.
Bai Mingxi was at a loss, still immersed in the shock of finding out that Jian Ziyan was not an Alpha. The administrator did not dare to say much, and both of them subconsciously looked at Si Wang.
Si Wang stared at Hao Hui and asked in a hoarse voice, "If his health condition was so bad that he couldn't leave your medicine, why did you leave Dixing?"
Hao Hui looked embarrassed. He looked at Si Wang's deep expression and saw at a glance that there was a deep obsession under his calm appearance. He wanted to know the whole truth.
"It seems that if you don't ask more questions, you won't tell me where Xiaoyan is." Hao Hui sighed, "Forget it, since I've said it all, I'll tell you everything."
"When Xiao Yan was eighteen years old and split, he found out that he was an S-level Omega. He immediately asked me to keep it a secret and disguise him as an Alpha. Because from that time on, he already had a great plan. He wanted to kill the Zerg Queen and completely end the war between humans and the Zerg."
"You may ask why I chose to help him, because he has been dependent on me since he was a child. Do you think the Jian family is a good place? Xiao Yan had to make some disguises to survive in such a swampy and filthy place. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would not be able to stand at this height and would be stripped of his tendons and bones by that family, sucking his blood and marrow. I also know this, and I also want to know what the future fifth-level spiritual healer will be like.
I didn't know how much potential he had, so I chose to hide it for him."
"Originally, his plan went smoothly. His disguised B-level mental power prevented him from being taken seriously by others. He climbed step by step to the center of power in the empire because he had another purpose: he could not stand the current corrupt and outdated system in the empire. He wanted to completely overthrow it so that everyone would have the right to live, rather than only the nobles having the right to live."
Si Wang dug his nails deep into his palms: "So, he chose to kill the old emperor?"
"This is one of the reasons." Hao Hui glanced at him quickly, "The most important reason why he chose to kill the old emperor... was to clear the obstacles for you, because if you want to ascend to a high position, the old emperor must die, and he doesn't want you to bear this crime."
Everyone was stunned. Si Wang never expected that Jian Ziyan's real purpose was like this. His pupils dilated slightly, and countless emotions were stuck in his throat. He wanted to shout something, but no sound came out.
"No, this is not true, this can't be true." Bai Mingxi's eyes were filled with panic, and he didn't know when he had burst into tears. He covered his ears, but could not stop those voices from entering his ears. Every word was cutting his heart.
"If he cares so much about Si Wang, why does he try to kill him and us again and again!"
This time, Hao Hui did not answer the question immediately, but asked Bai Mingxi: "Do you still remember what Xiao Yan's attitude was towards you when he first met you?"
Bai Mingxi sobbed dully and answered subconsciously: "He was a marshal at that time, and he said he wanted to pursue me..."
"When he first met you, he saw your potential right away," Hao Hui said. "He felt that he was alone and powerless, and the appearance of another potential Level 5 healer made him ecstatic, so he approached you as an Alpha, wanting to train you and make you a true Level 5 spiritual healer as soon as possible."
"Train me? He actually... wants to train me?" Bai Mingxi laughed bitterly.
He was not a person who did not strive for progress and only wanted to enjoy rights without fulfilling obligations. For such a long time, due to his excessively high talent, no mental healer could teach him and lead him. He had no teacher to turn to and was secretly sad.
What did he do? He misunderstood the only person in the galaxy who was qualified and capable of teaching him.
"Then he discovered His Majesty through you. He also discovered His Majesty's unique potential, which even attracted the attention of the Insect Mother. Xiao Yan wanted to protect you no matter what, but he didn't expect that His Majesty's true identity was..." Hao Hui paused and continued, "The day he learned the truth, he didn't sleep all night, and then told me the next day that he felt you were more suitable for this position than him, and he wanted to change his plan."
"He has wanted me to ascend the throne since then?" Si Wang has become numb from so many shocks, but his heart still hurts with every new shock. Under his intact appearance, his inside has begun to collapse gradually.
He thought of the punishments he had inflicted on him, how arrogant and self-righteous he had been, using all means possible to hurt that man. He thought he had ended the evil man's ambition, but in fact he had ended the empire's hope.
No, calm down. Panic won't help, calm down and think.
"You said that he feels that he is powerless. In addition to expanding his influence, he should be taking other actions." Si Wang's voice was hoarse. Even at this time, he still quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
"That's right." Hao Hui's eyes flashed with unparalleled enthusiasm and respect. "Don't you find it strange? For so many years, the Insect Queen and the Empire have been living in peace. Even if there were conflicts, they were only small-scale. There has never been a large-scale war. Until Xiao Yan was locked up..."
The three of them guessed a possibility, and their eyes gradually became horrified and shocked.
"It's Xiao Yan. He has been using his mental power to fight against the insect mother. The insect mother is afraid of his strength, so she has been trying to kill Xiao Yan first." Hao Hui said firmly, "The brain worm is just one of the means it uses."
His guess came true again. Si Wang took a step back, his blood surging and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Then... how did he get parasitized by the brain worm?" he asked hoarsely, "His mental strength is strong enough to fight against the worm queen, so why did he get parasitized by a tiny brain worm?"
When it comes to this topic, Hao Hui fell silent for a moment.
He looked at Bai Mingxi and then at Si Wang with complicated eyes.
"This brings us back to the question he asked just now. Xiao Yan obviously values you so much, why would he want to kill you?"
"Because Xiao Yan feels that time is running out, he wants to use a relatively cruel but also the fastest way to train you."
At this point, there was no need for Hao Hui to continue speaking, as others could already guess the rest of the content.
Si Wang slowly closed his eyes, and the burning tears cut through his dry eyeballs like sharp knives.
His throat was filled with the smell of blood, but it was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.
He attacked him for this reason, but he thought it was all out of jealousy.
"In fact, every time he tried to kill you, he would secretly follow you to protect you. Even if you were really defeated, he would save you." Hao Hui's voice seemed to come from far away in space. "As for the brain worm... recall, was there a time when His Majesty was almost parasitized by the brain worm?"
Bai Mingxi looked dazed, while Si Wang spoke clearly.
"That time, when Jian Ziyan was 'hunting' us, we hid in a deserted forest, but unexpectedly discovered a Zerg base inside." He said, "After discovering the brain worms, I quickly wanted to evacuate, but because I didn't have a warship, I almost died there. The person who saved me at that time... must be him."
"Yes, it was Xiao Yan." Hao Hui sighed more today than in his entire life. He said distressedly, "You didn't expect that there would be Zerg in the wilderness, and Xiao Yan didn't expect it either, but in order to protect you, his defense failed temporarily... Alas."
By now, the administrator no longer dared to look up at the expressions of the other two people.
Even an outsider like him would feel extremely heartbroken and shocked when listening to these things, let alone the person who was protected by that person with his life.
"I knew you wouldn't understand. I advised him at the beginning that if he did this, he would be misunderstood and hated by you, but he insisted on doing it, thinking that this was the quickest way." Hao Hui said, "'Only hatred is the best catalyst', this is what Xiao Yan said. After being parasitized by the brain worm, he knew that he didn't have much time left. No matter how hard he struggled, he could only prolong his life. That's why he planned to force you to abdicate and acted as if he must kill you all, forcing you to grow up quickly."
"He knew that things were going to change on the Imperial Star, so he sent me away on purpose. He had repeatedly assured me that I had ways to protect myself and that my life would not be in danger for the time being. I chose to follow his arrangements and leave the Imperial Star, until he suddenly contacted me a few days ago and asked me what happened on the Imperial Star. I learned that His Majesty was injured by the Insect Mother."
"That's all the details, Your Majesty. Please tell me the news about Xiaoyan."
Hao Hui told Si Wang everything and looked at him expectantly, expecting him to tell him that he had already found out Jian Ziyan's whereabouts and he just needed to bring him back.
"No...wait!" Bai Mingxi grabbed Si Wang's sleeve as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, his beautiful face full of frenzy, "And Su Sui'an! He killed Su Sui'an! What's going on? He can't be that kind of person. If he is that kind of person, what will become of me... Impossible..."
Si Wang looked at him with eyes as cold and deep as the deep sea, without saying a word.
The administrator could not bear to watch and told Bai Mingxi carefully: "Master Bai, if I am not mistaken, it was Marshal Jian who rescued Major Su."
"What?!"
Bai Mingxi didn't know the reason and just stood there in a daze.
Si Wang gently brushed his hand away, looked at Hao Hui and was about to speak: "He..."
"Your Majesty! Major Su is awake! He is awake!"
Si Wang’s computer suddenly started to buzz.
"Since Su Sui'an has woken up, you can ask him about this yourself," Hao Hui said. "I don't know how much he knows, so I'll go with you to see him."
Si Wang looked at him solemnly, neither nodding nor refusing.
He seemed to have become a puppet without a soul, doing everything he was supposed to do step by step, but his emotions were numb, with neither joy nor sorrow.
Seeing Si Wang and his group coming, Doctor Zhang, who was confused, came over and reported excitedly: "Your Majesty, Lord Bai, although I don't know what happened, the source of Major Su's spiritual power has been protected by a powerful force, so as long as the repair cabin replenishes the nutrients that Major Su lacks, he will wake up."
If it was before, no one would know what was going on.
And now those who should know naturally know that no one can do this except Jian Ziyan.
Seeing the faces of the few people, Doctor Zhang lowered his voice. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly left the room to a few people and hurried out.
For some things, the less you know, the longer you can live.
Su Sui'an was dressed in dry clothes, and his clean and elegant face still showed the confusion of just waking up. It was not until he saw Si Wang and Bai Mingxi that his face showed unbelievable surprise. ▲
"Si Wang! Xiao Xi!"
Bai Mingxi was in a trance, but he still remembered to step forward and check Su Sui'an's mental condition.
The more he examined, the more miserable his expression became.
He put his hand down weakly: "Doctor Zhang is right, Sui An's mental strength has been protected by someone, and he is...no longer in danger."
"I do feel that I am fine, why do you all look unhappy?" Su Sui'an smiled gently and glanced around casually, "By the way, how long have I been back? Was it Marshal Jian who saved me? Where is he?"
He didn't know how much time had passed and thought he was rescued just after the battle ended.
In the silence, Hao Hui couldn't wait any longer, so he asked anxiously, "Major Su, do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
Su Sui'an felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He asked tentatively, "What did Marshal Jian say after he brought me back?"
"Sui'an, tell me what happened at that time." Si Wang asked in a hoarse voice, "Answer truthfully."
Su Sui'an finally realized something was wrong. He put away his smile and slowly glanced at everyone, pausing for a moment at Bai Mingxi's tear-stained face and Si Wang's red eyes.
"What happened?" He suddenly looked nervous. "Marshal Jian...are you okay?"
Si Wang closed his eyes and said, "Tell me what happened first, and then I will answer your questions."
He had used up all his self-control to control himself and not grab Su Sui'an by the collar and yell at him, forcing him to tell him everything he knew, even though it seemed that he did know something.
Su Sui'an moved uneasily: "Where's my optical computer? Did you bring it back?"
Seeing his attitude, no one could help but guess that the truth of the matter was definitely not what the public knew.
"Major Su, your optical computer disappeared along with your...disappearance. We always thought you were carrying it with you."
"What? I clearly handed him over to..." Su Sui'an stopped talking in the middle of his words.
After all, he was not a complete fool. He looked at everyone and asked slowly, "What time is it now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.
"In that case, let me explain. This can also be regarded as an answer to President Hao's previous question."
Si Wang knew that this was a sin he should bear, so he controlled his emotions and spoke calmly about Jian Ziyan's rebellion and how he was imprisoned. After concealing some things, he talked about how he escaped from prison so that he could treat him, and then he was found by him while on the run. In the end, he was swallowed by the insect mother for the sake of everyone present at the time, and threw Su Sui'an out.
"What did you say?! He was taken away by the Insect Mother?" Hao Hui grabbed Si Wang's collar excitedly and looked angrily into his deep and cold eyes. "Do you know how much the Insect Mother wants to kill him? You actually sent him to the Insect Mother? Do you really want to see him die?"
Si Wang remained silent and let Hao Hui grab him and roar at him. He asked himself these questions thousands of times in an instant.
How could he not understand now?
Bai, the reason why the Zerg Queen suddenly turned around and left with the Zerg must be because Jian Ziyan temporarily controlled him.
After being tortured like that, he controlled the insect mother and rescued Su Sui'an...
He couldn't even imagine if he was still alive.
Su Sui'an's face turned pale; the truth had brought him too great a shock.
"He didn't bring the computer to you?" He murmured, "I was afraid that he would be misunderstood, so I deliberately left the computer to him and asked him to bring it to you. What did he do?"
"What optical computer? He never mentioned it to me..." Hao Hui stopped talking fiercely, and a light flashed in his eyes. "Wait, I know something! Maybe I can find where Xiaoyan is!"
…
This was the first time that everyone came to where Jian Ziyan lived.
He did not live in the Jian family, and arrogantly opened up an entire floor in the military headquarters for private use, saying that he would use it as his bedroom. He never allowed anyone to enter except himself, saying that anyone who violated the rules would be killed without mercy. He was so powerful that no one dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
When this mysterious door was opened, everyone found that there had been no changes here. Even the room where Jian Ziyan lived was just a simple modification of an office, and the bed was the simplest camp bed.
It was completely different from what people imagined, that it had been transformed into a magnificent bedroom comparable to an imperial palace.
However, at this point, no one thought that Jian Ziyan was really the person the rumors said he was. Everyone was silent for a moment and then walked into the bedroom.
Among the few people, only Hao Hui knew what he was looking for. He had a clear purpose and went straight to the bedside table.
Si Wang looked at Jian Ziyan's bookshelf. In this era, almost no one reads paper books anymore. All information and resources can be exchanged and read on optical computers, but Jian Ziyan is obviously not one of them. He has a huge bookshelf filled with various types of books.
From medicine to military strategy, from professional books to various novels, although these books have been preserved with great care, it is obvious at a glance that they have been read.
So...his hobby is reading?
What do people say...?
Si Wang suddenly realized that the world's impression of Jian Ziyan was only that he was arrogant and unlearned, and these two words were the ones that should least be associated with him.
Suddenly, he noticed something in the corner of the top row of bookshelves.
Normally, most people wouldn't be able to spot it, but he was tall and could see it at a glance.
Su Sui'an saw what he was holding and immediately came over: "Si Wang, this is my optical computer. Everything you want to know is in it."
Except for Hao Hui who was still working on something, everyone else came closer and watched Su Sui'an turn on the light computer and project a video.
In the chaos of the warship, Su Sui'an's face appeared in the center of the screen, looking at the camera seriously.
"I don't have time to say too much now, but I have to leave this video as evidence. Si Wang, if you see this video, you must remember that I left the warship voluntarily."
"Before you leave, I have something to tell you. Jian Ziyan, he is not what we thought. I happened to see him using some device to communicate with the Worm Mother. The reason we are in danger now is because the Worm Mother thought you were on this warship, and she wanted to capture you and Jian Ziyan in one fell swoop."
"Jian Ziyan is a level 5 spiritual healer. Only if he and you work together can there be hope of killing the Worm Mother. But the Worm Mother is now chasing us relentlessly. Jian Ziyan is trying hard to fight it, and I can't just stand by and watch. So I decided to disguise myself as you to stop him."
He took out a military camouflage device that could perfectly disguise a person to look like another person, even down to the smell.
"This may be the last video I leave in this world. Please help me take good care of my father." Su Sui'an on the screen showed his habitual smile again, "I am willing to die now. I just hope you don't misunderstand Marshal Jian. Goodbye."
As the light flickered, the projection disappeared and the room became as quiet as a tomb.
"That's the reason, Si Wang." The real Su Sui'an said softly, "He was trying his best to resist the worm mother, but he was still trying to stop me. It was only because the brain worm blocked him that I was able to get out successfully. The reason why the warship was able to come back alive should be that Jian Ziyan defeated the worm mother while I was holding it back. I just didn't expect that he didn't give this optical brain to you."
"So, you're going to die not because of him, but because of me." Si Wang's throat was almost unable to make any sound, "Why did he specifically ask to take you there? Wouldn't it be better to just take me there?"
"Only Xiao Yan can answer this question for you."
Hao Hui's voice came, he finally finished what he found.
"This is a mind connection device invented by Xiaoyan himself. It can connect with his own mental power and has storage and synchronization functions." Hao Hui said, "The pressure on his mental power is too great, so he made this to share the pressure. This is my first time operating it, so I don't know if it will work."
As he spoke, he clicked something, and instantly a cloud of mist gushed out and enveloped everyone, like a brilliant nebula.
And in these nebulae, there are floating "planets". Bai Mingxi was mesmerized by this beauty and couldn't help but reach out to touch a "planet". The planet suddenly exploded, and a visual memory appeared in front of everyone.
"Su Sui'an?"
Jian Ziyan was sitting in front of the old emperor and narrowed his eyes when he heard the name.
"Your Majesty, are you asking me to take him to the battlefield and kill him without making any noise?"
"Yes, that's it." The old emperor's face was particularly swollen, and his small eyes kept scanning Jian Ziyan up and down. "The Su family has been restless recently. You killed his son as a warning."
Even Hao Hui didn't know about this. Everyone looked at this memory with expressions of shock and enlightenment.
Jian Ziyan in the memory image was silent for a few seconds, and the corners of his lips curled up into his signature arrogant smile: "Okay, it's a small matter."
Then the scene changed, showing the report that Jian Ziyan had already written, which stated that Su Sui'an had A-level mental power and that he was one step ahead of him and he could do nothing to him.
He never thought about really obeying the old emperor's order and killing Su Sui'an.
Su Sui'an himself did not expect this to be the reason. He stared at Jian Ziyan's gorgeous signature at the end of the report, his eyes filled with bitterness and darkness.
At this moment, the entire nebula suddenly shook, and a ball of light shone brightly in the center, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Just when everyone was shocked and dared not act rashly, Hao Hui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Quick! This is a real-time access to Xiaoyan's mental power! We will know what is happening over there immediately!"
