Star Platinum took the initiative to move forward under the will of Jotaro Kujo, and his hands kept swinging punches like cannonballs. The violent fists collided with the attacking giant hands!

And at the moment when Star Platinum successfully knocked the giant hand away, Jiang Lianqiu flashed and appeared in a corner of the garden.

He drew his sword and held it horizontally in front of him in a place where there seemed to be no one around.

"Come out! If you do anything again, I'll chop this space down along with it."

The giant hand disappeared.

A phantom flashed by, and a Greek woman wearing a white coat, with elf-like pointed ears and her hair tied up behind her head appeared in front of Jiang Lianqiu.

And his knife was placed precisely on her neck.

"I didn't expect that there would be outsiders coming into this place."

The woman spoke, and unlike the sudden attack just now, her voice was indeed gentle and pleasant.

"Carlos Arna?" Jiang Lianqiu said the name.

"Sure enough, it's someone who knows me." Carlos smiled. "Official? Rebels? Or maybe a tribute party... Hmm, it doesn't look like a tribute party. This gentleman... uh, little brother? No, how old are you?"

Keeping the knife on Carlos' neck, Jiang Lianqiu observed the woman in front of him for a while.

It's certain that she is as strange as the space around her.

This space is very strange. Apart from the Helios Building and the garden outside the building, the space outside is in chaos.

He could tell at a glance that the young brother and sister who had just run past him were phantoms created by some force.

But the Carlos in front of him was not that.

Jiang Lianqiu was certain that the Carlos in front of him had lost his physical body.

But she does not exist in a purely spiritual state.

"Why did you attack me without warning?"

Carlos looked at Jiang Lianqiu with a very curious look: "I have lived here for so many years. Suddenly, a stranger I don't know breaks into my home. Shouldn't I be more vigilant?"

"Or has the world outside completely changed after so many years?"

"Alone...as expected." Jiang Lianqiu nodded thoughtfully, and glanced at the two siblings who were still chasing each other not far away.

It was just some kind of illusion that was completely unreal.

"I was wondering why those porn-selling brother and sister would appear in a place like this."

"Wait, what did I hear? Brother and sister selling porn!?" Carlos' pupils trembled, his lips trembled, and finally, he covered his face with his hands in grief. "Could it be that after losing me as a teacher, those two children have become so poor that they have resorted to such a shameful thing!?"

"Or has the order in the outside world completely collapsed, and there's no so-called official system anymore, so there aren't even any welfare institutions that take in orphans anymore?!"

"I should have taught them some life skills back then. Surviving in the wilderness is more respectable than selling movies..."

Jiang Lianqiu: “……???”

Carlos, is this your personality?

He silently put away the knife and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, they run a legitimate video store and rent out legitimate movies."

Carlos finally breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting the bulging chest of the turtleneck sweater under his white coat.

"That's great, that's great. Video stores still exist. It shows that social order still exists."

"But, the serious ones? Sir, what about the non-serious ones? Those two kids are restless. They must still be doing strange things secretly, right?"

"You really understand them." Jiang Lianqiu nodded. "Does a rope maker count?"

When Carlos heard the word "rope maker", he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he let out a breath.

"It seems that they have been trying to investigate the truth of what happened back then? What about you, sir? What is your relationship with those two children?"

Chapter 205: I was taken advantage of for free! ?

It is very simple to prove your relationship with the brother and sister who sell movies.

Jiang Lianqiu took out his cell phone and showed Carlos a few photos.

That was when he and Ling were dating that day, and the girl took several photos of them together using both of their cell phones.

In the photo, Ling is leaning intimately against Jiang Lianqiu, hugging his arm, throwing herself on his back, or pulling him to pose in funny poses.

Carlos was surprised at first, then raised her hand to half cover her mouth, with curved eyebrows and a smile on her face as she looked at the photo. Finally, when she looked up at Jiang Lianqiu, the look in her eyes was no different from that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"Oh my, what a misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding! So this is the relationship between you and Ling?"

"Hmm, so this is what Ling looks like when she grows up? She's really cute. Her face is round, so I guess she's getting enough nutrition and hasn't been hungry."

Finally, she coughed, blinked rapidly, and said to Jiang Lianqiu in a sweet voice, "If you don't mind, you can call me teacher like Ling does?"

"Okay Carlos, no problem Carlos."

"Still a naughty child!" Carlos didn't mind at all. "So, it was because of Ling that you investigated what happened back then and successfully arrived at the former site of Helios Agency 983?"

"It must have been very hard, right?" She looked at Jiang Lianqiu with heartache, patting his arms here and there, and then circling around him, "Are you okay? And when I attacked you just now... ahem, I didn't hold back when I tested you, did you? Does it hurt? If it hurts, it's okay to scream. I won't laugh at you."

"Actually, I came here quite easily."

"No need to act tough in front of the teacher, okay? Hey, hey—why do you always draw your sword? I know, I know! You're pretty good, okay?"

Carlos rolled his eyes, puffed out his cheeks like a child, and his pointed elf-like ears twitched.

"What's your name? I can't keep calling you Mr. or little brother, right?"

"Jiang Lianqiu."

"So it's Xiaoqiu. It's a nice name, very much like Wei Feidi's." Carlos used a rather intimate name, then frowned in confusion. "Excuse me, Xiaoqiu, you should still be alive, right? If so, even if I can prepare tea and snacks, you won't be able to taste them at all."

"Don't look at Xiaozhe and Xiaoling over there, but I've actually been alone here all along. They're just shadows I created to comfort me because I was so lonely."

"What's going on here?" Jiang Lianqiu looked at the chaotic gray fog outside the garden. "Also, what exactly happened back then?"

"Hmm, where should I start?" Carlos tilted his head, ruminating for a moment. "In short, the faction within the Helios Agency that sided with the Praise Society managed to steal some of my research data, ultimately triggering Hollow Zero's rampage."

"So, that's why I said the fall of the old capital wasn't entirely my fault, you know? Although those guys caused Hollow Zero to go berserk because they saw my research..."

"So, what have you researched?" Jiang Lianqiu asked.

"Hehe, that's an incredibly astonishing discovery," Carlos said in a joking tone, practically teasing a child. "For example, the ancestor the Praise Society has always believed in was the culprit that led to the destruction of an even older civilization and the main culprit behind the Hollow Disaster. Well, isn't that a pretty impressive discovery?"

"Ahahahaha...you don't really believe it, do you?"

"I believe it." Jiang Lianqiu nodded.

Carlos was halfway through laughing when he froze.

"Because I have confirmed one thing for sure, that is, the old civilization's technological tree was clearly interfered with by external forces, and the entire civilization's technological system has gone astray."

"You, you, you—" Carlos looked at Jiang Lianqiu in disbelief, "You actually even know this? Has the outside world completely developed into something I don't recognize?"

"I don't think the changes should be that big." Jiang Lianqiu waved his hand. "Okay, let's stop beating around the bush. Frankly speaking, my purpose for coming here this time is very simple. I originally wanted to investigate something, but now it seems that asking you directly will give you an easier answer—"

"—How much do you know about the lenses you implanted in Ling and Zhe's eyes?"

Carlos's expression finally became serious again.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Jiang Lianqiu without answering.

"Believe it or not, the crystals originally belonged to us."

"It's not good to lie, Xiaoqiu." Carlos turned into an elder who was disciplining a child, shaking his head and sighing, "Although I don't know everything about the origin of the crystal, I know a little bit. How could it be possible that—"

"Based on your understanding, I should be an alien."

Carlos: “……???”

She stared blankly at Jiang Lianqiu, then after a moment, asked tentatively, "You want me to believe your identity? It's simple. Since you, Xiaoqiu, said it's yours, then what kind of mathematical tool should be used to decode the spectral band reflected by the crystal when the Hermaster laser is irradiated? How should the parameters be set to achieve at least a level three ether resonance effect?"

Jiang Lianqiu: "Ah?"

Poke, poke.

Star Platinum hurried to Jiang Lianqiu, poked his shoulder, and then began to write and draw in the void with his hands, leaving behind the answer in a golden light.

Apparently, a scientific officer named Von Neumeow was taking the exam for him...

"I never thought that scholars in this world could produce such remarkable results using such crude research methods. We can't underestimate Carlos. If she's given a high enough platform, her achievements might be truly formidable. How about asking the Commander to recruit her?"

Von Neumiao naturally understood the scientific system of this world, so she could answer Carlos's question without even thinking.

"need……"

Jiang Lianqiu's eyes twitched as he looked at the answer given by Star Platinum and read it out.

When Jiang Lianqiu finished reading, Carlos's face was filled with shock.

Finally, he exclaimed, "So this is how it's solved!?"

"So you don't know the answer at all!?" Jiang Lianqiu was dumbfounded.

"How could I possibly understand something alien?" Carlos said righteously. "Xiaoqiu, didn't you say it was yours? Since it's yours, let me ask you. You'll definitely know the answer, right?"

Outside, Feng Nuoyimiao opened his mouth blankly: "I was taken advantage of for free!?"

Finally, she said angrily: "No! The commander must recruit this guy, and then make him work for me for nothing for a hundred years. After he dies, he will be canned and work for nothing for another thousand years!"

Chapter 206: The whereabouts of the ancestor and the disappearance of the nest master Kong

"My subordinates seem quite dissatisfied with you."

After glancing at Star Platinum, Jiang Lianqiu said to Carlos with a half-smile.

"You're in trouble."

"I'm already in a lot of trouble." Carlos didn't care. She pointed at the surroundings and said with a wry smile, "Xiaoqiu, you should be able to see that I'm not only in this half-dead state, but I can't even leave this space."

"So how did you become like this? I remember when the old capital fell, weren't you abducted by a giant pale hand? The same hand you used in the sneak attack earlier."

After noticing a set of tables and chairs in the garden with a parasol, which looked like a place for enjoying afternoon tea, Jiang Lian went over and sat down.

Carlos also came to the opposite side of Jiang Lianqiu and looked at him with concern: "Linglian also told you this?"

After that, she explained the reason: "As I said just now, through my research on crystals and the excavation of an ancient ruin whose location only I know, I have learned some things about the old civilization and the Void."

"Besides this, I also have some ideas about how to use etheric energy to evolve humans."

"Someone within the Helios Agency of the Praise Society stole my data. They used my research results to conduct their own experiments in a Void, which ultimately led to the rampage of Void Zero and the fall of the Old Capital."

"So they tried to capture you and get all the knowledge in your brain?" Jiang Lianqiu probably guessed what happened next.

As expected, Carlos nodded and said, "That's right. On the day the old capital fell, the Praise Society planned to kidnap me. But by then, I had already implanted the crystals into Xiaozhe and Xiaoling's eyes. If they knew this secret, the two children would not survive, and the Praise Society would definitely gouge out their eyes."

"So I killed myself."

"That moment when that giant pale hand grabbed me from the Helios Agency building and lifted me into the sky."

"Then how did you survive? And what's going on in this space?" Jiang Lianqiu took out a full set of tea sets from the tactical space and, imitating Belfast and Sirius, made himself a cup of black tea. "Would you like some?"

"No need for that. In my half-dead state, it's useless to me unless it's something conjured up from etheric energy."

Carlos looked at the black tea with envy, but finally shook his head.

"My body collapsed in the intense etheric energy, but my spirit—or perhaps my soul, though that might sound strange to a scholar—still leaves traces of me."

"In the underground laboratory of the Helios Agency lies a device I brought back from the ruins of an old civilization."

"It absorbed the remaining spirit within me, and coupled with the erosion of high-intensity etheric energy, it ultimately transformed me into the strange form I am now."

"Although I can't conduct research, I've been able to use ether to conduct simulation experiments in my own brain over the years, and I've achieved some success. I think I might be in the undead state described in ancient legends, but my undead body is made of ether, or a variant of ether energy."

"It allows me to use etheric energy very easily. Although I can only explore the application method alone, the benefits over time are not small. At least I can use etheric energy to conjure up the phantoms of Xiaozhe and Xiaoling to relieve my loneliness."

Jiang Lianqiu looked at Carlos carefully again. In her opinion, Carlos at this moment was very close to some kind of life form that was a combination of spirit and energy in the Collapse Iron Universe.

Suiyang.

"Including this space?" Jiang Lianqiu pointed around. "Is this also the illusion you created?"

Carlos raised his eyebrows with pride and satisfaction. "Isn't it amazing? It's just like the magic in ancient legends, right?"

Jiang Lianqiu nodded in agreement very frankly: "It's really amazing. I didn't see any clues at first, and it was only after you mentioned the phantom several times just now that I noticed something was wrong."
