When Ye Qi went out after taking a shower, he noticed a warm light coming from the study room on the second floor. He dried his hair and walked over. He saw Shao Qingge sitting at the desk, looking at the information in the computer, with an expression on his face.
Extremely serious.
In Ye Qi's impression, Shao Qingge was always not very serious. He liked to squint his eyes and tease others, looking like a "cynical" rich second generation. He rarely saw such a serious expression on Shao Qingge's face.
Perhaps Mr. Shao is like this at work, right? A man who is serious is much more pleasing to the eye.
Ye Qi walked into the room and asked softly: "Mr. Shao, did you find any clues?"
The next moment, the seriousness on Shao Qingge's face disappeared, replaced by a familiar smile, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Qi: "What did you call me?"
Ye Qi was stunned: "Mr. Shao?"
Shao Qingge stood up, walked to Ye Qi in three or two steps with his long legs, stretched out his long fingers to lift the boy's chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Think about it, what should you call me?"
Ye Qi came back to his senses and his ears turned a little red: "Dad?"
Shao Qingge chuckled: "Finally remember, I am your adoptive father?"
The redness of Ye Qi's ears spread rapidly, and even his cheeks began to turn red. He complained in a low voice: "You don't need to care so much about the title in private, right? This is all arranged by the gatekeeper. It always feels weird to call you dad..."
He thought Shao Qingge was joking, but the man suddenly squeezed Ye Qi's jaw, narrowed his eyes, and lingered on Ye Qi's facial features thoughtfully. That "scrutinizing" gaze made Ye Qi's heart beat.
Speeding up, the distance between the two was so close that he could almost feel Shao Qingge's warm breath.
Ye Qi's tongue was knotted uncontrollably: "You, look at what I do, is there something on my face..."
Shao Qingge's voice was very low: "The gatekeepers make random arrangements? No, they never arrange identities at will. Why am I your father?"
Ye Qi's mind was in a mess and he blurted out: "Didn't you adopt me?"
Shao Qingge still stared at Ye Qi's face: "Why should I adopt you?"
Ye Qi: "..."
He was troubled by Shao Qingge's series of questions, but suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Qi's mind. He looked at Shao Qingge with wide eyes: "Could it be that my life experience is not simple?"
Shao Qingge finally let go of Ye Qi's chin. He folded his arms around his chest and paced back and forth in the study while recalling in a low voice: "According to memory, I was adopted by the orphanage more than ten years ago when I was doing charity work.
You, you were only five years old at the time, and both your parents died in the frontline battles...did they really die?"
Ye Qi's heart became increasingly uneasy: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Shao Qingge stopped and looked back at Ye Qi: "I am the only heir of the Shao family. I am young and unmarried. Would I adopt a five-year-old child out of nowhere? Unless you have a special status, I will adopt you.
"
He flipped the LCD screen of the optical brain to Ye Qi and said, "When I just checked the Shao family's investment records over the years, I found that the Noah's Ark project 20 years ago was not the first genetic research, but '
Plan to restart', which shows that the first study is much earlier than we thought. I saw a person named Ye in the signature list of this plan, and I checked it... He looks like you
Very similar."
Ye Qi looked at the photos in Guang's mind and was stunned: "Am I also a clone?"
"The time doesn't match, and you and he just look similar, unlike Xiao Lou and the clone, who can't tell the difference at all." Shao Qingge paused and looked at Ye Qi, "This person named Ye Wenbo should be
He is your biological father. I checked his information and found that he was a senior officer in the Southern Military Region."
Ye Qi asked doubtfully: "But didn't my father die on the front line?"
Shao Qingge's eyes flashed with a sharp edge: "It's also possible that he was sacrificed."
There is an essential difference between "sacrifice" and "being sacrificed". The former is an accident, while the latter is man-made.
Ye Qi didn't have much feelings for the man in the photo. He was sent to an orphanage when he was very young. He was adopted by Shao Qingge when he was five years old. The only person who has the closest relationship with him in this world is Shao Qingge.
He has no memory of his biological father and mother.
But since Shao Qingge found the name of Ye Qi's biological father in the plan written twenty years ago, it proves that Ye Qi's father was also involved in this plan, and his death may not have been a simple sacrifice.
After realizing this, Ye Qi immediately said: "We must tell Professor Xiao about this important clue as soon as possible."
Shao Qingge said: "Well, I have already sent a message to Captain Yu. We will go to the bank early tomorrow morning and open the safe left by my father."
…
At this time, inside the palace.
Xiao Lou's neck was pinched with hands, but the expression on his face was very calm.
Logically speaking, if an average person is choked by the neck and has a gun pointed behind him, he will definitely panic and be scared... But Xiao Lou did not have any excited reaction except that his back stiffened slightly for two seconds at the beginning.
His face was calm as usual, and even his breathing was not disturbed at all.
Xiao Lou stood there steadily, not even frowning.
The assassin noticed his calmness and couldn't help but said coldly: "Your Highness, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
Xiao Lou chuckled: "Can you do it?"
The cold fingers pinching his neck tightened slightly, and Xiao Lou's breathing became more and more difficult, but he still didn't panic at all. As soon as he and Yu Hanjiang were connected, Yu Hanjiang was waiting for an opportunity in the bathroom next to him. He believed that
This man would definitely not let him die at the hands of an assassin; secondly, he did not think that the assassin would kill him immediately.
Xiao Lou said calmly: "You have been hiding in my bedroom for a long time, right? I don't know what special function you used to hide your body. I was not aware of your existence. You have a gun in your hand. If you are
If you come to kill me, you have countless opportunities to attack me and kill me with one shot. Instead of waiting until Yu Hanjiang enters the bathroom, you suddenly come out to attack me."
Xiao Lou stood motionless on the spot, and his voice did not waver at all: "Just now, if you wanted to kill me and put the gun against my back and gently pulled the trigger, I would have been a corpse. But,
You didn't take action. That means that my life is still of some value to you, right?"
The assassin was stunned for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "You are indeed smart."
Xiao Lou asked: "Who sent you here? What do you want to do?"
Just as the assassin was about to speak, suddenly, a strong wind hit the back of his head. Before he could react, a sharp pain came from his arm - a click, which was the sound of the wrist bones being snapped!
Yu Hanjiang's eyes were full of anger, and he didn't know when he had quietly walked around behind the assassin.
The man strikes cleanly and as fast as lightning!
With a neat grab, he captured the wrist that the assassin controlled Xiao Lou with great precision. He twisted it in the opposite direction, and the wrist bone was directly broken by his strong force.
The other hand reached out like lightning and quickly snatched the gun from the assassin's hand. At the same time, he kicked the opponent's fragile hip with his right foot, kicked the opponent to the ground, and folded his hands behind his back to control
Stay and press against the other person's head.
Yu Hanjiang's voice was low and dangerous: "Don't move."
Xiao Lou felt his neck loosen and immediately came behind Yu Hanjiang.
He knew that Yu Hanjiang would come to rescue him, so he deliberately chatted with the assassin to delay time.
Yu Hanjiang deserved to receive professional training. Although the assassin was invisible, the cold fingers on Xiao Lou's neck and the gun against his lower back clearly revealed the assassin's position at that time.
The assassin was obviously underestimating the enemy. When Yu Hanjiang put a gun to his head, his body froze slightly. Yu Hanjiang moved the gun forward with his right hand, and continued to use his left hand ferociously. A heartbreaking pain came from the assassin's broken wrist.
The pain is as if the skin and flesh have been forcibly separated!
He gritted his teeth and did not scream. His teeth were almost broken.
Yu Hanjiang's voice was cold: "Who sent you here? Didn't you hear His Highness asking you?"
Although the assassin was invisible after being invisible, the black barrel of the gun pressed against Xiao Lou's back located the assassin's hand. Xiao Lou's bathroom actually had another exit. Yu Hanjiang cooperated with Xiao Lou and lurked over to subdue the assassin.
It only takes three seconds for him to subdue a person.
So fast that the assassin had no time to react.
The assassin sneered: "No wonder the old emperor wants to entrust His Royal Highness to you for protection. Captain Yu is indeed very skilled. You can catch me even if I am invisible."
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Don't talk nonsense. Who sent you here? I don't want to ask a third time."
The assassin said: "The master asked me to bring a few words to His Highness."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and Xiao Lou said, "You tell me, I'll listen."
A low laugh came from the assassin's mouth: "The master said that if necessary, please protect yourself wisely and leave the capital star as soon as possible - remember, the one who survives to the end is the winner."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hanjiang felt his hands suddenly loosen.
The arm that he had tightly controlled just now clearly felt like a human arm, but at this moment, the arms suddenly seemed to have no bones and flesh, and they separated from his hand. It felt as if he had been grasped... slippery
loach?
Yu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment and wanted to chase him, but he found a black shadow instantly jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Silence returned to the house.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and stared at his hands. Human arms have bones and flesh and blood, but when the man deformed just now, he really looked like a ball of cartilage?
Xiao Lou asked worriedly: "Who is he? Who is his so-called master?"
Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment: "If he was a hunter, he would have taken action against us long ago. Perhaps, he was sent by a certain force in this world to warn you... Also, he should not be human."
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang in confusion: "Not a human being?"
Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully said: "There should be alien creatures in a secret room with an interstellar background? So, maybe the assassin's invisibility ability does not come from the cards, but from the talent of this alien creature? When he escaped just now
, my hands felt like they were in contact with slippery loaches."
Xiao Lou's scalp was numb: "Alien creatures...like the Zerg we encountered in 8 of Spades?"
At this moment, several messages popped up on Yu Hanjiang's cell phone.
The first two posts were sent by Lu Jiuchuan: "Xiao Tang's legs have been cured, and even his toes have grown out. I'm so happy that I can't sleep tonight. I won't say much more about thank you. I feel so grateful."
I'll take note of it!"
"By the way, just now when Ye Qi used the Insect King Card to treat Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang and I remembered some clips at the same time. We must have seen the Zerg in this world. I decided to go to Shilt's uninhabited land to investigate, but the military department
This place will definitely not approve my application. I am currently the commander of the Arrow Legion and cannot leave the Capital Star at will. We will discuss what to do tomorrow."
The following was posted by Shao Qingge: "The investment records from 20 years ago have been found. This is a photo of the plan. There are signatures of some people on it. These people participated in the Noah's Ark restart plan that year. We need to focus on checking.
.What makes me puzzled is that Ye Bowen is probably Ye Qi's biological father. I suspect that his death was not simple. Ye Qi's orphan status was not set arbitrarily by the gatekeepers, but an important clue."
"My father left me a ring that can open the safe deposited in the bank by the Shao family. I will go to the bank to retrieve the safe tomorrow morning. I will let you know if I have any clues."
The last one was sent by Qu Wanyue: "We are still in contact with Miss Lin. I have made an appointment with her to have afternoon tea with her tomorrow and talk about dance-related matters. After the afternoon tea, I will use my Chameleon card to follow her and sneak into her home."
, we will report any progress at any time.”
The teammates are all working hard, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou are very pleased.
However, Xiao Lou still felt a little uneasy. The four Liu Qiao people have not been found yet. Where are they?
******
[Chapter 416, Noah’s Ark Plan]
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang carefully sorted out the current clues, and the clear clue was that Lin Yan, the fiancée of His Royal Highness, and her mother, Ms. Zhang Shaohua, the president of the Academy of Sciences, were definitely involved in the Noah's Ark project.
There are many hidden clues, such as the origin of the assassin and the identity and purpose of his so-called "master"; the lost memories of Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci; the life experience of Ye Qi; and the replicator in the palace who is exactly the same as Xiao Lou. Investigation of these clues will
It's quite troublesome and needs to be sorted out as soon as possible.
The whereabouts of the four teammates must also be confirmed as soon as possible. Xiao Lou believes that Liu Qiao and the four will not disappear inexplicably. Perhaps when everyone gathers, the clues to this secret room will be clearer.
Seeing that it was already very late, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang went to bed to rest.
In order to prevent the assassin from sneaking into the Twin Womb again, Yu Hanjiang vigilantly protected Xiao Lou in his arms, and at the same time let the intelligent mecha Linghu turn on the all-round monitoring of the Twin Womb again.
This night, no one slept well.
When Lu Jiuchuan woke up the next morning, he found Tang Ci standing in the living room, holding on to the wall and walking forward slowly. His legs were not flexible enough, like a child learning to walk, limping.
Turn, the posture is awkward...
But his eyes were exceptionally bright.
The warm morning light shone on his slightly pale face, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but he took every step seriously and firmly. Lu Jiuchuan had not seen such a high-spirited Tang Ci for a long time. Although
There was no expression on his face, but Lu Jiuchuan knew that Tang Ci was very happy to stand up again.
Lu Jiuchuan's heart softened, and he quickly walked over to help him, but was interrupted by Tang Ci softly: "Don't help me."
"Okay, okay, you walk by yourself." Lu Jiuchuan smiled and watched him practice walking, "Do you still get used to the new legs?"
"Well, it works quite well. I'm getting used to it." Tang Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and stopped when he was tired. The next moment, Lu Jiuchuan suddenly picked him up and turned around to walk to the living room.
Tang Ci said displeasedly: "What are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jiuchuan chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten that you should wear shoes after you grow feet?"
Tang Ci looked down and saw that he was walking barefoot in the living room.
I haven't worn shoes for a long time, and there are no suitable shoes around me, so I have forgotten this detail. My white toes have been touching the cold floor, and they are red from the cold, as if protesting the owner's lack of care for these feet. Lu Jiuchuan hugged him
I went to the living room, found a pair of slippers for him, and put them on his feet myself: "I'll buy you a pair of shoes later, but I'll wear slippers first."
Tang Ci ignored the strange feeling of his toes touching the man's warm palm and said softly: "Brother Ninth."
Lu Jiuchuan looked up at him: "Huh?"
Tang Ci hesitated for a moment and then said: "I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed of some fragmentary fragments. I'm not sure if it was a dream or my lost memory..."
Lu Jiuchuan immediately became serious: "Tell me, what did you dream about?"
Tang Ci said: "I dreamed that we were attacked in the no-man's land of Hilt. What attacked us was a strange alien creature. They have high-tech intelligent armors and seem to have the ability to become invisible?"
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "Invisibility ability? Is it related to the assassin that Qu Wanyue said infiltrated into the Twin Wombs?"
Tang Ci said: "Because it is a dream, I can't be sure whether it is a flash of memory. I think we should leave as soon as possible and go to Shild's no-man's land. Only when we go there can the mystery be solved."
Lu Jiuchuan also agreed with this: "I'll make an appointment with Han Jiang and Xiao Lou to meet and discuss it."
***
At the same time, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi arrived at the largest Royal Bank in Capital Star after having breakfast.
My father left a safe here.
Shao Qingge didn't know what was stored in it. He went to the bank's VIP account manager, showed his token, and said he wanted to open the safe. After the manager checked his identity, he took him to the top floor of the bank.
.
Shao Qingge followed the manager to the safe left by his father.
Ye Qi's eyes widened and he looked at the safe curiously. The cabinet was nearly one and a half meters tall. There was a password sensing area in front of the silver-white metal safe. Shao Qingge first used fingerprint verification to unlock the first password.
Immediately afterwards, he placed the ring left by his father in the sensing area to unlock the second password.
A message "Password match successful" pops up on the screen.
The next moment, there was a "pop" sound in my ears, and the silver metal cabinet slowly opened in front of me...
Then, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge froze at the same time.
The cabinet is full of money.
Row after row of red banknotes were placed in the cabinet. It was the first time Ye Qi had seen so much cash since he was a child. It could be used to build a wall!
The manager smiled and said: "Mr. Shao, do you want to take the safe away?"
Shao Qingge helplessly held his forehead.
His wealthy father was so simple and rude that he actually left him a cabinet full of cash!
But the last thing he needs is cash. He is now in charge of Noah Medical Technology Company, and his monthly profit is enough for the whole group to live without worries for decades; even if he is penniless in this world, before they
After converting those gold coins into star coins, you will definitely be able to have enough food and clothing.
Instead of leaving a cupboard of money, you might as well leave some clues.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Shao Qingge's eyes.
But the manager felt that Mr. Shao was indeed rich and willful, and his face was filled with disappointment when he saw a cabinet full of money?
Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi: "Take it back? Or deposit it directly into the card?"
Ye Qi thought to himself that so much cash should not be wasted, but he always felt that it was not right to deposit it into the card. He carefully observed the cabinet. Although the cash was arranged neatly,... there was a piece missing in each row?
At first glance, it seems okay, but when you think about it carefully, it is wrong.
Shao Qingge's father is a celebrity on the empire's rich list. If he really wanted to leave a cupboard of cash to his son, how could he not fill the cupboard full of cash? Is he short of that money? If there is no shortage, why is it left in every row?
vacancy?
Ye Qi tried counting from left to right.
If a bundle of money (100,000 star coins) bundled together is regarded as a numerical unit, the first row is missing 2, the second row is 9...the third row is 7, the fourth row is 5...and the following is
0,7,1,5.
There are eight rows in the cabinet, and each row is missing a wad of money.
Ye Qi connected this string of numbers in his mind.
29750715? Eight digits, is it a password? Or... a date?
If it is a date, is it July 15, 2975?
Today is July 16, star calendar 3000. Xiao Lou celebrated his 25th birthday yesterday, July 15, so Xiao Lou’s birth date is exactly July 15, star calendar 2975!
This discovery made Ye Qi's heart beat violently.
He didn't think it could be a coincidence.
Since Ye Qi and Shao Qingge had a telepathic connection when they went out, Ye Qi immediately informed Shao Qingge of this discovery. Shao Qingge originally reached out to touch the star coins in the cabinet, but stopped abruptly.
This money... is not just the money left to him by his father.
But the password!
Some passwords involving important clues!
Fortunately, Xiaoye was smart and cautious enough. If they destroyed the arrangement of the coins in the cabinet, were blinded by the money, and directly deposited the cash into the bank card, then they would lose the most important clue.
Shao Qingge squinted his eyes, looked at the account manager beside him, smiled and asked, "Can I move the entire box?"
The manager nodded: "Of course, Mr. Shao bought this safe. After confirming the identity and signing, you can move it away at any time."
Shao Qingge nodded and signed the confirmation contract.
The cabinet was very large. In order not to destroy the arrangement of the star coins in the cabinet, Ye Qi used the teleportation card to directly bring the cabinet into the floating car while the people around him were not paying attention. He said with horror: "July 15, 2975 is Xiao's birthday."
It can’t be a coincidence that your father put this number with coins in the safe on Lou’s birthday!”
Shao Qingge frowned slightly: "I found out that 20 years ago, the company invested 3 billion star coins into the 'Noah's Ark Restart Plan', and the date left by my father was 25 years ago... Could it be Stardate 2975
On July 15, 2015, the day Xiao Lou was born, the Noah's Ark plan was launched for the first time? And 20 years ago, when Xiao Lou was 5 years old, the plan was restarted?"
Ye Qi thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense! If it restarts, it must have been started once before. If it was started for the first time 25 years ago and the second time 20 years ago, both times it would be related to Professor Xiao.
Related! The first time was the day he was born, and the second time was the year he... was seriously injured and lost his memory? "
The two looked at each other and immediately informed Xiao Lou of the important news.
Yu Hanjiang looked at the message that popped up on his phone and said immediately: "Xiao Lou, we must make a decision."
One day later, the connection between the two was interrupted. After all, this channel can only be maintained for 24 hours, and new cards cannot be used in the palace, but Xiao Lou still understood what Yu Hanjiang meant from his eyes: "You want to leave the palace to investigate?
"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Let's find an excuse to leave the palace and let Brother Nine lead the Arrow Army to protect you. Only in this way can we move the whole group, find out the truth of the year as soon as possible, and find a way to join Liu Qiao and the others."
There is no progress in staying in the palace, so we can only sit and wait for death.
It is better to break the boat, escape collectively from this place where cards are banned, and launch a comprehensive investigation from the outside.
