Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Gu Xingyao dug her fingertips deep into her palms. Under everyone's scrutiny, she suddenly stumbled towards Meng Qiqi, tears streaming down her face as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Sister, I was wrong! It was all because of father... He said that if I caused chaos, I would get special attention from the academy! I was confused for a moment, please forgive me!"

The freshmen watching booed.

Meng Qiqi looked at the other party's carefully designed "weak posture" and suddenly remembered what the system said. Gu Xingyao's awakened ancient star beast bloodline came with mental control capabilities. At this moment, this tearful performance might be secretly affecting the emotions of everyone present.

She subtly activated the mental barrier implanted in her brain, sneered, and grabbed Gu Xingyao's wrist: "Student Gu, your father is the chief biologist at the research institute. Would he let his daughter use such a dangerous method to attract attention?"

Before he finished speaking, a silver figure passed over everyone's heads.

Lu Jiuyuan landed in the center of the field wearing leather goggles. The dark blue arc of electricity flowing from his mechanical prosthetic limb accurately cut off Gu Xingyao's fingers as she tried to grab Meng Qiqi. "It would be ugly if the little beauty's face got scratched."

He glanced at Gu Xingyao, the rune scimitar on his waist unsheathed half an inch, "Did you ask me, Lu Jiuyuan, if you dare to touch my people?"

The system prompt sounded in Meng Qiqi's mind: Lu Jiuyuan's favorability +10, current favorability: 30/100.

She noticed that Xiao Yu's eyes in the crowd sank slightly, and a dark light of unknown meaning surged in his deep purple pupils.

Gu Xingyao staggered back a few steps and bumped into an embrace with a cold fragrance.

Chief scientist Su Yan of the Federation took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped the lenses. He said slowly, "According to Article 73 of the Interstellar Biological Protection Act, privately transforming interstellar beasts is a Class A crime. Mr. Gu, do you need me to personally take you to the FBI?"

A stream of data flashed across his silver-gray eyes behind his lenses, scanning for any remaining traces of mental fluctuations on Gu Xingyao.

Meng Qiqi keenly caught the faint mechanical patterns on Su Yan's cuffs - that was a nano-repair device that surpassed the current level of technology. It seemed that this cold and aloof scientist also had many secrets.

"I, I really don't know!" Gu Xingyao screamed and pushed Su Yan away, the pearl hair accessories in her hair scattered all over the floor. "You are all targeting me! Meng Qiqi, you vicious woman, will get your retribution sooner or later!"

She turned around, broke open the door of the auditorium, and disappeared at the end of the corridor amid the laughter of the crowd.

The auditorium fell into an eerie silence.

Meng Qiqi bent down to pick up a pearl that had fallen to her feet, and examined it against the light. "So, in the eyes of some people, revealing the truth is evil."

She threw the pearl into the air, and the laser dagger split it precisely. "Then I will bear the infamy."

Xiao Yu suddenly clapped his hands, and the medals on his black and gold uniform jingled. "Interesting. Meng is not only logical but also bold enough to challenge the entire school's public opinion."

He raised his hand to signal the hovering robot to deliver a badge. "The Imperial Royal Guard is recruiting special advisors. I wonder if Meng is interested?"

The system frantically prompts: Xiao Yu’s favorability +20, current favorability: 45/100.

Meng Qiqi stared at the double-headed dragon pattern circling on the badge - this was the logo of the empire's most mysterious intelligence organization. Xiao Yu's move was clearly to test her position.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness," she said, her fingertips stroking the barbs on the edge of the badge. "But rather than joining the Royal Guard, I'd rather join the Academy's genetic modification program."

She turned to look at Su Yan, "I heard that Professor Su is studying the genetic map of ancient star beasts? Perhaps I can provide some new ideas."

Su Yan paused while wiping his glasses, his silver-grey eyes rippled. "Oh? As far as I know, Meng's major is mecha control."

"But I also have some knowledge of biotechnology." Meng Qiqi called up her smart terminal, and the holographic projection showed the star pattern gene chain she had cracked at the Academy last night. "For example, this encrypted gene sequence may be able to unlock the secret of the star beast's rampage."

The air in the entire auditorium seemed to freeze.

Su Yan's mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly sounded an alarm, and a complex stream of data flashed across the lens.

He took a half step forward, his body filled with a cool fragrance. "Come with me to the lab."

Lu Jiuyuan suddenly stepped between the two of them, pointing his scimitar at Su Yan: "My little beauty, you've just dealt with a problem. It's time for us to have a celebratory drink together."

He turned to Meng Qiqi and winked, "The Pirates' newly brewed Star Core Wine is guaranteed to be a hundred times better than the Academy's nutrient solution."

Meng Qiqi was caught between two major forces, but she smiled calmly.

She suddenly activated the terminal on her wrist and projected a document. "Why don't you take a look at this first? I happen to have some leads regarding the black market trading network for genetically modified star beasts."

Her eyes swept over Xiao Yu's suddenly clenched fist, "I think, whether it is the Empire or the Pirates, they will not allow such a threat to exist, right?"

As night fell, Meng Qiqi stood on the rooftop of the academy.

The neon lights of the interstellar port in the distance are flickering, as if the Milky Way has fallen into the human world.

She touched the faint star pattern on her wrist - although the original owner's connection with the enemy country had been eliminated, this mysterious mark always made her feel uneasy.

"What are you thinking about?" A familiar mechanical voice sounded.

Huo Lin appeared behind her without her noticing, his half-mask gleaming coldly in the moonlight. "Your performance today has impressed even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Meng Qiqi turned around and keenly caught the other party's hand hidden behind his back: "Captain Huo seems to have something to give me?"

Huo Lin was silent for a moment, then pulled out a chip engraved with a snake-like pattern. "This is a communication record intercepted by the Imperial Intelligence Department, about the interstellar turbulence three years ago..."

His robotic arm suddenly issued a shrill alarm, "Be careful!"

A laser flew past Meng Qiqi's ear and pierced through the guardrail in the distance.

She rolled to the ground under Huo Lin's cover. Looking up, she saw Gu Xingyao standing on the rooftop opposite, with smoke still coming out of the particle gun in her hand.

The moonlight illuminated the other person's distorted expression, and the disguise of the pure little white flower was completely torn apart: "Meng Qiqi! I want you to die!"

Meng Qiqi wiped the scrapes from her cheek, fighting spirit burning in her eyes.

She gripped the laser dagger tightly, looked at the stars in the sky and chuckled softly.

The blue light of the particle gun tore through the night sky, and Huo Lin's mechanical arm deployed an energy shield at the critical moment.

Amid the violent explosion, Meng Qiqi was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and her ears were buzzing.

When she stood up, she saw Huo Lin half-kneeling on the ground. A large charred hole had been blown out of the military armor on his back, and blood was slowly dripping through the metal cracks.

"Huo Lin!" Meng Qiqi rushed over and supported his shaky body.

Half of the man's mask had been shattered, revealing the right side of his face, pale as paper, with his mechanical prosthetic eye flashing an unstable red light.

"Don't worry about me..." Huo Lin's throat was bleeding, but he still stared at the rooftop opposite, "Her mental power... is running wild..."

Gu Xingyao's light blue uniform rustled in the night wind, and her originally clear amber eyes were now surging with a strange dark purple light.

She raised her hand and summoned a giant wolf condensed from dark matter, with corrosive liquid dripping from its fangs: "Meng Qiqi, today is the day you die!"

The giant wolf roared towards the sky, and the sound waves distorted the surrounding air.

Meng Qiqi gently placed Huo Lin behind the guardrail and activated the tactical gloves on her wrists.

The nanomaterial instantly covers the entire body, forming a layer of translucent energy armor.

She drew out her laser dagger, the blade gleaming with a cold blue light in the moonlight. "Just you? You deserve to be repaid for framing me last time!"

The giant wolf took the lead in attacking, its sharp claws tearing through the air and rushing straight to his face.

Meng Qiqi rolled sideways, and the dagger drew an arc of light, but was swallowed by dark matter the moment it touched the giant wolf.

Her pupils suddenly shrank—this was not an ordinary star beast at all, but a shadow creature that had fused ancient blood!

"Surprised?" Gu Xingyao laughed crazily. "Ever since you humiliated me in public last time, I've awakened my Star Beast bloodline! This Shadow Moon Wolf can devour all energy!"

She raised her hand to control the giant wolf, and the chains made of dark matter wrapped around Meng Qiqi's ankles. "Just watch, I'm going to tear you apart bit by bit!"

A sharp pain came from her ankle, and Meng Qiqi felt that the energy in her body was being rapidly drained away.

She suddenly remembered that Su Yan once said that the weakness of the ancient star beast lies in its mental core.

Gritting her teeth and gathering all her strength, she thrust the laser dagger fiercely into the giant wolf's forehead.

The dark matter burst out with a blinding light, and the giant wolf let out a dying howl before dissipating into fragments all over the sky.

Gu Xingyao's face turned pale in an instant: "Impossible! How did you know..."

Before she could finish her words, Meng Qiqi had already stepped forward and kicked her in the knee.

Gu Xingyao staggered to her knees, but disappeared the moment she touched the ground—it was a space teleportation device!

"Want to run?" Meng Qiqi sneered and threw out the electromagnetic tracker.

The device was precisely attached to the corner of Gu Xingyao's clothes, and with a flash of blue light, the other person's figure appeared again.

She took advantage of the situation and swung out the energy rope, pulling the man back fiercely.

Gu Xingyao bumped into the rooftop railing and coughed up blood.

She stared at Meng Qiqi with resentment: "You think you won? My father is the chief scientist of the Interstellar Research Institute. The entire Federation is under our control!"

She suddenly ripped open her collar, revealing the star mark on her chest. "Did you see it? This is the mark of the contract with the ancient star beast. When I fully awaken..."

"Then come find me when you wake up." Meng Qiqi held the laser dagger to her throat. "But now, you should pay the price for hurting Huo Lin."

She turned to the unconscious man and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you there..."

Before he could finish his words, a dark purple teleportation array suddenly lit up around the rooftop.

Dozens of people in black robes walked out. The leader wore a snake mask and spoke in a voice as hoarse as sandpaper: "Miss Gu, we are late."

He raised his hand and summoned a dark matter barrier, protecting Gu Xingyao behind him. "Meng Qiqi, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. The power of the Interstellar Research Institute is beyond your imagination."

Meng Qiqi gripped the dagger tightly, and Huo Lin's weak voice came from behind her: "Don't... it's... the Shadow Alliance..."

Her pupils suddenly shrank—this was the mysterious organization that was rumored to be controlling the smuggling of star beasts!

"Tell your master," Meng Qiqi stared directly into the scarlet eyes beneath the snake-shaped mask, "I will chase anyone who dares to touch me to the ends of the earth!"

She bent down, picked up Huo Lin, turned around and jumped off the roof.

Spreading the hang glider in mid-air, the night wind blew towards me with the smell of blood.

After returning to the dormitory, Meng Qiqi immediately contacted Su Yan.

In the holographic projection, the scientist pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Huo Lin's injuries are serious. The core of his mechanical prosthetic eye is damaged. He must undergo surgery immediately."

Data streams flashed in his eyes. "However, your ability to escape from the Shadow Alliance unscathed is beyond my expectation."

Meng Qiqi uploaded the data from the electromagnetic tracker: "This is the dark matter sample collected from Gu Xingyao. It may help you solve the mystery of the star beast's rampage."

She paused, "Also, the appearance of the Shadow Alliance shows that the conspiracy of the Interstellar Research Institute is deeper than we imagined."

Su Yan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that we need to speed up the research progress of the gene map."

He suddenly revealed a rare smile, "By the way, Lu Jiuyuan has already led the pirate group to blockade the nearby star field, saying that he wants to help someone get revenge."
