Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1010 Identity
"Talented individuals? What are they?" Shi Jia looked at the five faces opposite him with confusion.

"Huh? You don't know what a gifted person is?" Feren asked in surprise. Is there anyone in the Empire who doesn't know what a gifted person is these days?

Shi Jia looked to Fila for help, and the latter comforted Shi Jia and said, "I forgot to mention, Shi Jia has amnesia."

"Amnesia?" The crowd was skeptical.

Fila nodded, "Yes." She then sent the examination report to the group, "She suffered a head injury. You can see there's bruising here. Combined with the radiation, it's definitely caused some brain damage."

"Hiss~" Flo gasped, and everyone looked at him in confusion. He said, "It's a miracle I didn't turn into an idiot."

Fila kicked him directly and glared at him, saying, "How dare you talk like that!"
"Um, sorry, I'm just..." Flo scratched his head sheepishly.

“Shi Jia, don’t listen to him. When we get back to the base, we have advanced medical equipment. We’ll give you a thorough check-up and we’ll definitely be able to cure you.” Fila patted her hand.

"Yes, thank you, Grandma Fila."

After spending two days in the flying car, on the morning of the third day, Shi Jia saw a huge, silvery-white object that looked like an inverted bowl through the window.

Fila said that was the base!

Shi Jia was very much looking forward to it, but after entering the base, Fila put a completely airtight isolation suit on her and took her to a room full of unknowns. She was a little scared and held Fila's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"Don't be afraid. We're going to examine you now because your radiation level is too high, exceeding the base's entry requirements. So, we need to find a way to lower the radiation level in your body."

Fila patted Shi Jia's head, and the latter, looking into her gentle eyes, gradually let go. It's alright!

Shi Jia watched Fila leave the room, and then the railings around the bed rose, extending a canopy to completely cover her.

At this moment, Shi Jia felt as if he were lying in a coffin, no, he was lying in a sleep pod!
She swallowed hard, pounded her fists on either side of her chest, and her heart began to pound. "Give up on me and get out!"

"Shi Jia, don't be afraid, this is a treatment pod," Fila's voice rang in my ears.

"Grandma Fila~"

"This is the Empire's latest technological achievement, capable of treating a variety of ailments. When you wake up in a bit, your right leg will be completely healed."

Listening to Fila's explanation, Shi Jia gradually relaxed, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower back, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

"The patient is already unconscious. First, extract the genetic data and upload it to the Imperial Gene Database." A group of people wearing white protective suits, masks, and goggles said this in another room separated from Shi Jia's room by only one wall.

Yes, out of humanitarian concern, they could lend a helping hand to Shi Jia, but they are not doing charity work and would not waste resources treating someone of unknown origin.

It's important to understand that the universe isn't just home to the Oran Empire; there are also the Rogiya Star Pirates and the Oran Alliance, among others.

They would never forgive themselves if they had treated an imperial spy!

"Genetic data collection successful, currently uploading to the Imperial Gene Database for comparison, estimated time 23:59:59."

Upon hearing the AI's notification, everyone shook their heads, with one saying, "693 is too far from the capital planet."

“Indeed, if there is no plan to reduce radiation by next year, the Empire will probably abandon 693.” The man said with great worry. What would become of them, the marginalized researchers, then?

"Don't worry, maybe the Imperial Expeditionary Force will discover another life-bearing planet by then?" another person comforted.

"Heh, that's probably a high-radiation planet too." Seeing that the person next to him was about to say something, he continued, "If it were a low-radiation planet, would we even be here?"

No one had anything to say.

Fila frowned, but still spoke up, "Rio, could you help Shi Jia repair his broken right leg first?"

One of the researchers, who was completely covered up, frowned. "Fira, you should know the procedure."

Fila nodded, looked through the glass at the treatment chamber inside, and sighed, hoping that her information was in the gene bank. The gene bank did not disappoint Fila; it sent the information back the next day.

“Got it, Slana, a Lanxing person, 18 years old, an orphan.” Rio frowned as he looked at the report. “How could a Lanxing person be on the border of Oris?”

“There are only two, no three, types of people who appear on the border: soldiers, exiled researchers like us, and space pirates,” Sandy, standing next to him, said.

"Space pirates?" Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Fila became anxious, "Didn't you consider a fourth possibility?"

"what?"

“An innocent person kidnapped by space pirates!” Fila told them about the situation when she found Shi Jia. “Based on the circumstances at the time, Shi Jia was most likely attracted by the gravity of Star 693 while in an escape pod, trying to escape the space pirates.”

The researchers nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was indeed a possibility. Finally, Rio said, "Then let's report it to the Imperial Police and see if there have been any related incidents recently."

Fila breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that Shi Jia and Slana's identities have been confirmed, we can start treating her, right?"

Rio instinctively wanted to refuse, even though Slana's identity was confirmed, she was just an orphan...

“I can pay for her medicine first.” Fila gritted her teeth. At least the little girl’s leg had to be healed. The girl’s radiation level was already too high. If she still only had one leg, how would she live in the future?

"Sure!" Rio didn't refuse, as long as someone else was paying.

Meanwhile, after receiving the alert from Star 693, the Imperial Police's AI immediately began matching cases with those in the police system. It swiped through ordinary cases one by one, finally settling on a document marked "Confidential" in red. "Beep beep beep—"

Superintendent Mu Zeyuan looked serious as he turned on his personal computer, which was connected to the police system and would issue an alarm if an event of level S or higher occurred.

“Slana!” His heart skipped a beat when he saw the name. As one of the few high-ranking officials in the empire, he naturally knew the significance of this name.

However, he was a cautious person. He understood that after opening the information uploaded by Star 693, he opened another file marked as top secret for comparison.

Mu Zeyuan's eyes widened.

"It really is her!" Mu Zeyuan's breathing quickened, and he immediately sent communications to His Majesty the Empire, the Director of the Healing Institute, and the Imperial Marshal.

Having done all this, he turned and left the police station, heading as fast as he could to the Imperial Palace. However, despite his speed, he was the last to arrive.

"Director Mu, are you sure you have information about Slana?" The director of the Healing Center, Fron, asked excitedly, grabbing Mu Zeyuan's arm.

"Florn, don't get excited, Director Mu is already here." Marshal Cheng Yaoxing pulled Florn over and gestured to Mu Zeyuan to hurry up.

Mu Ze bowed to Emperor Qin Heng before revealing the whole story.

"Hiss~ You mean Slana is on Star 693 right now? How could she be in such a far place? The Star Moon Princess's route is at least tens of light-years away from the border of Oris!" Fron said in surprise.

“It’s obvious that the Roja Star Pirates kidnapped Slana.” Mu Zeyuan pointed to the map. “I remember there’s a space jump point here.”

"Damn Rogia!" Fron exclaimed indignantly.

"The question is, why did Roja take so many people? Or did she only take Slana? If it's the latter, how did they know about Slana?" Mu Zeyuan looked at Fron with suspicion.

The latter felt uneasy under his gaze and belatedly realized what he meant, angrily retorting, "What do you mean? You suspect I leaked Slana's information?"

“No, Dean Fron, you won’t, but the others might not,” Mu Zeyuan said.

Even so, Frohn was still very annoyed.

"Alright, gentlemen, isn't the most important thing right now to bring Slana back?" the emperor said displeased.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
