"Huh... surviving a great disaster brings good fortune, and disaster itself brings new paths. It's hard to tell Zhuangzi's butterfly from his scheming heart, but when night ends and dawn arrives, the stars will cross."
She flipped over and stood up, legs crossing in mid-air, drawing two arcs. Her waist and horse were united as one, and she flipped over and landed deftly, striking a pose like a famous Peking Opera actor. Finally, she put one hand on her waist, raised her index finger with the other, tilted her head, and shook her calf-length blue ponytails: "Brother Jiang, thank you so much for saving my life."
"I'm glad you don't mind what happened just now." Jiang Lianqiu observed Qingyi and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was completely fine.
"Oh my, it's just ancient civilization data used for iterative training. I used to be confused about who I was, but now..."
She rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Lianqiu.
"There is Zhu Yuan in front of me and Jiang Jun behind me. Life is a long journey, but I am lucky to have a good friend, so I will not be lost."
After saying this, she put her hands behind her back, looked around at the advanced laboratories at ease, paced around in circles, and finally turned around and looked back with a sweet smile.
"Well, won't you explain the current situation and your identity, Commander Jiang...?"
"Don't underestimate the insight of an experienced old detective." Qingyi approached quickly again, and when she stopped abruptly, the ends of her twin ponytails swept across Jiang Lianqiu's thighs due to inertia.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Lianqiu asked curiously, "You seem to have changed?"
Qingyi's face suddenly turned red, she took a half step back, and her expression returned to normal.
"Is it because of the data that was implanted about me? Don't you know it's fake?"
"My consciousness was born from the false data you spoke. Whether true or false, they were reset countless times to allow me to be born, making every memory unforgettable and chaotic. No matter when they originated or where they went, they all constitute the Qingyi of today."
"Just like Zhu Yuan, I've had memory disorder a few times in the past, and it was Zhu Yuan who pulled me back then. It's just that this person has changed to you, Brother Jiang."
"At least in this life, I will let all of this become my support to keep going."
"By the way, in order to confirm your nature, Brother Jiang, could you please extend your hand?"
Jiang Lianqiu was puzzled, but he also stretched out his right hand.
Qingyi grabbed his wrist, and then—
——He stretched out his tongue and licked Jiang Lianqiu's fingers.
And showed an expression.
"????"
"Your habit of judging things by licking your tongue can still be applied to humans?"
"Brother Jiang is the only one, right? Who told you not to see clearly?" Qingyi let go of Jiang Lianqiu's hand with a smile, "It's confirmed that he is a pure human being, and all his physiological indicators are within the absolutely healthy range. But some subtle details seem to be wrong..."
After tilting his head and thinking hard for a moment, Qing Yi said, whether accidentally or intentionally, "Could it be an alien human?"
"You obviously know everything." Jiang Lianqiu crossed his arms calmly, "How did you know?"
"I can't explain it clearly." Qing Yi shook her head. "Maybe you don't believe me, Brother Jiang, but I can guarantee that my current self is very firm and independent. My past self still has a tangled connection with those ancient civilization data, what could be called an umbilical cord, but now that umbilical cord has been cut."
"I have been granted an absolutely complete sense of independence, and I also vaguely sense that Brother Jiang, you are not from this world."
Jiang Lianqiu subconsciously looked at Feng Nuoyimao again.
The latter hurriedly shook his head: "I guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me! It must be you, Commander, who has done something stupid again!"
"Next time, change your wording. The word 'fa gong' makes me sound like a charlatan."
Is it authorization again?
Jiang Lianqiu muttered.
"Okay, let's talk while we walk. Let's go meet Zhu Yuan and the others... Also, about these things——"
"Confidentiality is also an essential quality for criminal investigators." Qingyi winked mischievously. "Don't worry, I won't write anything out of science fiction in my performance report."
……Dividing line……
Yunkui Mountain, main hall.
"...So, Commander Bullinger, are you really colluding with the Praise Society?"
After everyone exchanged information, Zhu Yuan leaned back in his chair and murmured in disbelief.
"It's going to cost more! It's going to cost more!" Nicole clapped her hands on the armrests of the chair and looked at Yue Chengliu. "We can help you collect evidence and continue investigating the Praise Society. We at Cunning Rabbit House can take the order, but the price is negotiable."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.
"Senior Qingyi!"
Looking at Qingyi who walked in, Zhu Yuan stood up happily and walked forward.
"Are you OK!?"
"I'm fine, Zhu Yuan." Qing Yi glanced at the strange atmosphere in the main hall, thought for a moment, and said to Zhu Yuan, "Do you know?"
"Senior Qingyi..." Zhu Yuan subconsciously looked at Jiang Lianqiu behind Qingyi.
Chapter 179: The Practice of Being a Mother
After understanding what happened, Jiang Lianqiu looked at Xing Jianya strangely.
"So, I told you everything I know, and after all this time, you haven't found any new clues?"
This one sentence silenced both Xing Jianya and Yue Chengliu.
"It's hard to deal with Bullinger because of his official identity, but isn't it also difficult to deal with the shield that Perlman has put forward by Vision Industrial?"
"Won't you use some special means?"
"No... no way!" Yue Chengliu quickly waved her hands. "We are also members of the system. We must follow the rules and evidence when doing things."
You've already started contacting Cunning Rabbit House and you still insist on following the rules?
"What about Sarah? I should have told you, Ya, that she's Pearlman's secretary on the surface, but actually a cadre of the Praise Society, right?"
Xing Jianya drooped her fox ears.
"Sarah disappeared. She seemed to be aware that we were investigating her. We haven't heard from her in a long time. The official announcement from Yuanjing Industrial indicated that she had resigned."
"So, you're just foolishly gathering evidence and planning to arrest Bullinger and Pearlman for questioning in a proper manner?"
"Isn't this right?" Yue Chengliu asked doubtfully, "Isn't this how all cases are handled? It's not like we're going to the Hollow to fight Yi Hai."
"Okay." Rubbing his brow, Jiang Lianqiu sighed, "Is it possible that if there is no evidence, you can create evidence?"
"What about a frame-up? What about stuffing fabricated evidence directly into Perlman or Bullinger's house? What about knocking down the door of Yuanjing Industrial, claiming fire safety violations or a tax inspection?"
"But..." Xing Jianya's mind was in a mess, "This is unjust..."
"Ya, you must remember this." Jiang Lianqiu said sternly, with the tone of a master teaching a lost disciple, "Justice, is it such an inconvenient thing?"
"I think this gentleman is perfect for our Cunning Rabbit House..." Nicole was amazed.
"And," Jiang Lianqiu continued, "you don't think these people are not colluding with the top brass of New Elidu, do you?"
"It is precisely because we know this that we have been investigating secretly..."
Yue Chengliu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he said guiltily:
“Isn’t that right?”
"It's not that it's wrong, but your subsequent plans are extremely problematic." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head. "Why do you subconsciously think that once someone is captured, nothing will go wrong? That no one higher up will rescue him, or simply kill him before you can get any valuable information?"
"Hey, that's exactly what I want!" Nicole slapped her thigh with joy. "See, see, I told you there aren't any good people up there!"
Xing Jianya was confused.
She stared blankly at Jiang Lianqiu and asked, "Qiu, please teach me what true justice is. I have decided that from now on, I will stay by your side and practice to understand justice!"
Yue Chengliu screamed like a groundhog in her heart—No, Chief! There’s an abyss ahead!
She seemed to see the future of her own simple and upright section chief being led astray by the always smiling boy in front of her.
Jiang Lianqiu gave Xing Jianya a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, I will treat you well—no, teach you."
Nicole next to him: “?”
Why do I feel like my lines were snatched away just now?
Zhu Yuan, who watched the whole scene from beginning to end, was hesitant to speak. He wanted to say something, but he looked at Xing Jianya, thought of his experience in the void not long ago, and finally looked at Qingyi, who had been sitting next to him, drinking tea calmly and oblivious to what was happening outside the window, and finally sighed.
"Right, Ling."
"Huh? Mr. Jiang?"
Ies (Ling) almost fell off his chair when his name was suddenly called.
"Come to Yunkui Mountain with your brother as soon as possible."
"Is it about the eyes?" Ling thought of what Jiang Lianqiu had mentioned before.
"More than that." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head. "Because I'm conducting experiments here, the unstable state of the void will continue for a while."
"If you're going to enter the cave during this period, the calculation of the carrot data will be different from before. You are a professional rope maker, so I'll give you something to prevent you from getting lost in the cave again in the future."
"Okay! My brother and I will set off for Yunkui Mountain tomorrow! Could you please ask Master Yixuan to look after Ies for me first?"
"No problem." Yixuan, who was sitting and drinking tea with Qingyi as if it had nothing to do with him, nodded in agreement.
"It seems we need to cooperate more deeply in the future, Phaethon." Nicole nodded, smiling like a fox. "For us agents to enter the Hollow, we need a rope maker."
"Boss Nicole, there are two sheriffs sitting across from you," Billy reminded quietly, "Is it really okay for you to discuss crime openly?"
"Ahhh, I don't care anymore!" Zhu Yuan finally broke down, clutching his head and wailing. "Or I should just take some leave, otherwise my conscience will hurt... Anyway, my annual leave has accumulated to the point where it will be invalid if I don't use it..."
"But Zhu Yuan, if you ask for leave, won't your parents madly urge you to find a boyfriend and start a family as soon as possible?"
"Gu——!!!"
Qingyi's words reminded Zhu Yuan of the annoying time when her mother would call her during meetings and nag her about why she hadn't found a boyfriend yet.
"Help me! Senior Qingyi!" Zhu Yuan looked over with tears in her eyes.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that an elite like Zhu Yuan would have a headache like this.
"Hmm?" Qing Yi sipped her tea again, and sighed inwardly that she really preferred the thermos cup to the porcelain bowl. "Sure."
The little hand pointed at Jiang Lianqiu.
"Far away, yet so close at hand, I repay a life-saving favor with my own body. It's a cliché, but it's also a welcome one."
Zhu Yuan's mind went blank for a moment, and then she felt an indescribable sense of shame. She quickly glanced at Jiang Lianqiu, and then said to Qingyi anxiously: "Senior Qingyi is the one who saved my life, right? - Ten"
"But I'm a virgin and can't have children." Qing Yi spread her hands helplessly and glanced at Zhu Yuan's hips, which were even more exaggerated because of the curve she was sitting on the chair. "On the contrary, Zhu Yuan - Wuwuwuwu!!!"
Zhu Yuan pounced forward and covered Qingyi's mouth with his hand.
"child……"
Hoshimiya tilted her head and pondered.
“Is this also a kind of practice?”
"The practice of being a mother?"
When Xing Jianya thought of the word "mother", her ears twitched and she unconsciously recalled her mother...
Chapter 180: Hoshimaya: Kissing is sweeter than honeydew melon
It is night in New Eridu.
Zhu Yuan, with a tired face, just returned to her rental house not far from her workplace, only to find that her mobile phone had been turned off and had lost power.
After plugging in the charging cable, Zhu Yuan immediately went into the bathroom, took off her clothes and took a nice bath, changed into loose and comfortable home clothes, and walked out while wiping her hair with a towel.
As she passed the mirror, she stopped for some unknown reason and glanced behind herself.
It feels... really cocky...
"No, no! What am I thinking? It's all Senior Qingyi's fault!"
After shaking his head vigorously, drying his hair and throwing away the towel, Zhu Yuan returned to the living room, only to find that he had several missed calls in a short period of time.
All of them belong to mom.
As soon as Zhu Yuan called back, she heard her mother's anxious voice from the other end.
Zhu Yuan!? Are you okay? Your colleague from Class XX walked by our house today and looked a little off. I had a bad feeling and asked him if something had happened to you, but he said nothing...
