Interstellar leader

Chapter 20 Genetic Code

Li Qing's consciousness slowly emerged from the darkness, like a drowning person finally struggling to reach the surface of the sea.He had a sense of light, but his eyes were still dark and he couldn't see anything.

Gradually, the sense of touch came back, and he felt that his hands were handcuffed to the chair, his whole body was weak, and it was difficult for him to even move.That was the aftereffect of the sv nerve paralyzing drug, and it should last for two to three days in a person with a-level genes like me.It means that during this period of time, he will have no ability to resist.

The initial panic was like a big hand clenched so that he could barely breathe. Where were his companions?What is this place?Have their identities been exposed?But he soon calmed down.

A few hours ago, Li Qing and his group were familiarizing themselves with the terrain near Cross Street. He still remembered whose jurisdiction it was——Duke Windesar, the cousin of the current emperor.After confirming that there was no danger, they separated.

When Li Qing walked into a narrow alley, he smelled a strong fishy sweet smell, which was the signature smell of only one chemical substance, sv nerve paralysis potion.It was originally the first choice for deep anesthesia, with good effect, non-toxic, harmless and no side effects.It's just that because the effect was so good, patients with low genetic levels were still lethargic for several days after the operation, and were gradually replaced by other medicines.

Li Qing never imagined that someone would dare to use such an unbelievably high concentration of SV in such a densely populated residential area. What does this mean?At least 100 people will fall into a coma for at least a day.It wasn't that he wasn't vigilant, it was really unexpected, and he fell unconscious the moment he realized what it was.

Suddenly, a hand touched the back of his head, and then the black cloth strips tied around his eyes were removed, and the strong light made him dizzy for a moment.After a few seconds of adaptation, Li Qing finally opened his eyes.He found himself handcuffed to a rich chair of deep rosewood, with velvet upholstery for comfort.

Looking around is full of luxury, the crystal chandelier shines dazzlingly on the ceiling; the white marble with light beige patterns sets off the luxury and elegance of the whole room, which is very different from the extravagance of those nouveau riche; The gray velvet covered the floor and looked extra soft.There are well-arranged plants in the corner, modern technological products ingeniously combined with the retro style, and a black-clothed guard standing there... But what Li Qing saw at first glance was not these at all.

On the opposite side of Li Qing, there was a huge desk that was shining brightly. A man dressed in the complicated clothes of imperial nobles was sitting in front of the desk, with his hands folded on the desk, staring at him with interest.

The moment Li Qing saw the man's face, Li Qing felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. The memory fragments that he had almost forgotten were wrapped in fragmented dreams, like a flood of beasts attacking him.

The silver-white palace, the man who shouted "givemeedeath" was cut into countless thin slices, blood, screams, numbness, the fall of humanity... Finally, there was the blond emperor who smiled like the ruler of the eighteenth floor of the abyss. The contours of his face are overlapping with the person in front of him, perfectly.

Li Qing tried his best to control the trembling of his body, the dreams before the time travel turned out to be real, and it turned out to be the world he was in now.So the Old English man who died tragically did exist.

Moreover, all this is something that will happen in the future.According to another dream of his, there may even be an underground organization in the empire, whose creed is "Give me freedom or give me death."

Memory requires a certain amount of logic. Back then, Li Qing didn't know Interstellar Common Language, so naturally he couldn't remember what the people in the dream said. He only remembered the slogan chanted by the man who died tragically.Thinking back as hard as possible now, it seemed that those languages ​​that he didn't understand at the time were indeed somewhat similar to Interstellar Common Language.

"Let me introduce myself," the blond nobleman said with a smile, "I am Duke Christopher Windsor, the ruler of this jurisdiction. Nice to meet you, Isaac Cauchy, a first-class citizen of the empire."

Li Qing was silent for a while, and decided to save those aristocratic politeness, "May I know the reason why a law-abiding first-class citizen of the empire was kidnapped here?"

Duke Windsor was stunned for a second, then he laughed loudly: "A law-abiding first-class citizen? In my opinion, it's strange enough that you don't use an honorific title for a nobleman. A law-abiding first-class citizen would not That way." He spread his hand, revealing a small gene chip, "Look, let's stop acting too. Your Excellency Isaac Basdar."

"Where is my companion?"

"Your companion? Oh, they are the first-class citizens who abide by the law." The corner of the Duke's mouth curved into a mocking arc, and he came to Li Qing with a miniature optical computer, and said while inserting the chip. : "After receiving the news that you were arrested for offending the nobles, they left on their own according to our warning. They are still in the imperial capital, but I guess they will abandon you soon."

Li Qing was really relieved that they were not arrested because the fact that they were spies was exposed, and a fleeting disappointment was still pretending on his face.Seeing his expression, the Duke couldn't help but deepen his smile.Seeing other people's pain and betrayal was the devil's constant pleasure.

Basdar... This family that exists in history and legends, their images and documents were destroyed in the purge after Windesha usurped the throne, and only a small amount of secrets remained in the hands of the Windessar royal family .There are indeed many legends about this once-famous and eternal family, but they have been distorted after hundreds of years.

Li Qing never associated Isaac's appearance with the Basdar family.According to the legend, the members of the Basdar family all have black hair, black eyes, and fair skin.It is true that there are not many people with black hair, black eyes and fair skin, but multiplied by the population base of the entire galaxy, that is simply an astronomical figure.Is the Duke of Windsor crazy?Hundreds of years later, you still want to find out the descendants of Basdar and kill them all?

"This is a comparison between your genes and the genes of the third emperor of the Pan-Galactic Empire, Keynes the Great." At this time, the optical brain in the Duke's hand completed the genetic analysis, and he turned the screen to face Li Qing. Li Qing couldn't believe the displayed image.With thousands of sites, the coincidence rate reached 81.3%.

Here comes Mendel!How can this be?Emperor Keynes has been an antique for nearly a thousand years. Even if Isaac is his descendant, the genes have been passed on for at least dozens of generations.How can such a frighteningly high coincidence rate be within two generations? What kind of interstellar joke?

Seeing the shocked look in Li Qing's eyes, the Duke chuckled with satisfaction, "You must be wondering how I found out your identity. David, bring over the video data of Emperor Keynes."

The guard who stood quietly in the corner like a statue had a respectful expression on his face, and brought a thick black box to the Duke to open it.Inside was a stack of 3D photo negatives, which were put into a small projector, and the image of the legendary man who led the Pan-Galactic Empire to its peak—Emperor Keynes, was presented in front of Li Qing in detail.

Li Qing looks almost exactly like him.

For a moment, Li Qing even felt that he was looking at his own photo, but the man's luxurious imperial robe, shining scepter and condescending demeanor all reminded him of this absurd fact - it was indeed not him, but An emperor who has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

It's hell.

Li Qing dug out Isaac's genealogy chart from his pitiful memories about his parents. Isaac's mother, Lynn Lancelot, was a brown-haired, blue-eyed beauty and the second daughter of the old man. question.

But his father, Roger Bass... Before this, Li Qing certainly didn't think he was special, but thinking about it now, he was really suspicious.Roger is an orphan without any family relatives. His skin does not seem to be particularly white, but he has pure black hair and eyes.

It seems that he was tricked by his father.Li Qing complained in his heart.

The Duke happily watched the man who was handcuffed to the chair and couldn't move. Although he also knew that Li Qing was not Emperor Keynes, the extremely similar appearance of the two gave him a sense of victory as he held the legend in his hands. and satisfaction.If Li Qing knew what he was thinking, he would not hesitate to classify the honorable Duke of Windsor into the ranks of patients with advanced stage II disease, and he was still hopeless.

"You must wonder why the genes after ten generations still have such a high degree of similarity," the Duke suddenly had the illusion that he was giving a lecture, recalling the scene of being reprimanded by his tutor in his youth, he curled his lips.

"Because of the particularity of the Basdar family's genome. It is the only fully dominant genome found in the entire galaxy so far. As long as its bloodline continues, no matter which offspring it is in, it will be dominant. So the Basdar family's People almost all look the same. You are more special, and there are some coincidences on the basis of inheritance."

"What do you need me to do?" Since it was because of his blood, and he had so much talk with him, it would not be possible to arrest him for the sake of exterminating the clan.Li Qing didn't bother to play language games with this nobleman, so he asked straight to the point.

"Tsk, you are indeed a descendant of the royal family, and you are really rude." The Duke knocked on the table, "You do things for me, and I will save your life. This deal is fair."

It's not fair at all, is it?

"Working?" Li Qing seemed to have guessed what to do.

"I want to usurp the throne." Windesa casually threw a blockbuster, as if eating and drinking was common. "At that time, you only need to use the influence of your bloodline to be my spokesperson and endorse me. Before that, there may be other things assigned to you, and you will not need to use your labor for nothing... But you You have lost your personal freedom, and my people will always monitor you. Oh, and Gaia, your genes are the key to open the box."

"Do you know where Gaia is?" Li Qing, who was digesting the information, raised his head, he had been stimulated enough today.

"A clue? It's still too early to find out. This is not your concern, Your Excellency Basdar." The Duke raised the corner of his mouth mischievously like a bad child, "But it doesn't matter if you know, you can't escape from my trap." In the palm of your hand. Once you try to harm the empire, there are many novel ways to die for you to choose from."

"Besides cooperating, do I have other options?" Li Qing shrugged helplessly, and tapped the chair with his fingers. "Your Excellency, you can undo my shackles now. I can't even walk now, and I don't have the ability to cause you any harm."

The Duke laughed loudly at his loyal bodyguard: "Oh, my stupid David, how many sv did you use? Untie him."

"89.9% purity, at least three liters, it is estimated that it can poison more than half a cross block." Li Qing gave the guard a cold look.

Before he got up and walked out of the room, the Duke said abruptly behind his back: "You should be glad that Basdar's lineage doesn't have any female relatives."

Li Qing turned around, and in the Duke's eyes, he saw the burning desire for power.This man wanted to hold Basdar's genetic key firmly in his hand.This is a devil who can do anything for the throne. Li Qing dares to guarantee that if he has a female relative from the former royal family, even if it is a middle-aged aunt in her sixties, the Duke will extract her eggs and give birth to a child with Wende. Children of the blood of Sha and Basdar come.Li Qing was successfully disgusted by his own imagination.

very good.Then let the Duke seize the power he dreamed of, and then die on the throne, Li Qing will do what he said.

The author has something to say: Author: Look!Duke he is really straight!

Duke: The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the sexual orientation can never be changed.

(There are also middle-aged aunts who are in their sixties because the life span of interstellar humans is relatively long)

YOUNG DUKE: Mother... vomit.I'd rather just die.
