In fact, what Huo Qizhou said just now was not an affectionate confession, but Qiao Nan could still detect a hint of nervousness and worry from the other party's flat tone.
As Huo Qizhou's former deputy, analyzing his boss's emotional fluctuations and intentions was also a required course for Qiao Nan. Huo Qizhou felt that he hid it well, but his nervousness was actually seen by Qiao Nan.
Quite happy.
"...Can you not cancel?" Huo Qizhou looked at Qiao Nan like this and felt that there was still hope for him, so he asked again, "I know that I may make you uncomfortable by saying this suddenly. If you feel that this is not possible,
If so, we can separate for a while and talk about it again after you calm down."
"...I need to calm down. I can't respond to you for the time being."
Qiao Nan said that, but he could feel the excitement in his heart.
This is the most undeniable emotion for Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan, who once had the thought "It would be great if Mr. Huo could come over to save him", is not so cold and heartless, and has no good impression of Huo Qizhou at all. It's just that he himself
I thought this was impossible, so I just refused to believe it.
Even when he heard from Eugene and Qiao Jiarui that he and Huo Qizhou were engaged and the two became nominally engaged couples, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it, thinking that this was Huo Qizhou's decision to appease others.
A delaying strategy.
At this time, he was a little envious of Qiao Jiarui. At least Qiao Jiarui, who had been favored by others since childhood, sometimes had the courage to pursue his love, but he didn't even have the courage to pursue it.
Emotionally he is just a coward.
In order to conceal his excitement, Qiao Nan could only lower his head to ensure that Huo Qizhou could not see his expression, let his hot face calm down, and then simply changed the subject.
Hearing Qiao Nan say that he wanted to calm down for a while, Huo Qizhou did not pursue her anymore, but thoughtfully changed the subject, "Your goal now is to defeat the God of Light."
"Yes, but now that I don't have the divine power, I have no way to defeat him, and my chance of winning is too small."
"This is also the reason why I came to the game. I originally separated part of my soul into the game. If I can absorb all my clones, I can become an existence infinitely close to a god." Huo Qizhou said he wanted to check
come out
He broke up his things and told Qiao Nan. When he got down to business, Qiao Nan couldn't care less about being shy. Seeing Huo Qizhou spreading out paper and pen on the table to write something, he came over curiously and stood beside him and watched.
Huo Qizhou wrote and drew on the parchment.
When he heard that Huo Qizhou was going to recycle his body left in this game world, he suddenly thought of something: "Your body has been in the game for so long and is about to be assimilated into this world. If it absorbs your body
□□, is it true that you can’t leave this game?”
This is also a point that worries Huo Qizhou, but if Qiao Nan can really become a god, then this speculation and possibility will disappear. Huo Qizhou has always believed that Qiao Nan can achieve this achievement, so he has never considered this possibility.
So, when Qiao Nan asked, he just shook his head, "It doesn't matter."
Huo Qizhou said that, but Qiao Nan didn't necessarily believe it. But Huo Qizhou didn't want to say it, so there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it. On the contrary, it would be annoying. It was better to check it out himself and be prepared in advance, in case something happened.
Before, I pulled people back in advance,
Huo Qizhou explained the settings of this world to Qiao Nan on paper. Qiao Nan has been in this game for a long time, but there are many settings about this world that he is not clear about. And Huo Qizhou was discovering this world.
At that time, I conducted an in-depth investigation into everything in this world and checked the background thoroughly.
It's just that he never had the chance to tell Qiao Nan before, and now that he finally got the chance, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
All the information he obtained could be investigated and would be useless in his own hands. If it were placed on Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan, who was familiar with the rules of this world, might be able to find some loopholes in this information that could be exploited.
Huo Qizhou helped Qiao Nan sort out the known rules in the world in chronological order. Qiao Nan knew some of these rules, but the rest was unknown to Qiao Nan. In addition, he didn't know but Huo Qizhou knew.
When the intelligence is added together, it forms a long intelligence list.
By scrolling down in this way, many things become clear at a glance, and the fog that troubled Qiao Nan disappears.
There are some things that even Qiao Nan and the evil in the world don't know. Many people have failed while trying to find out the truth, but now... I have gotten the answer so easily.
Except for the reason for the formation of gray fog in the abyss hell.
Even Huo Qizhou, who had a God's perspective, didn't know what was going on in this gray fog. He didn't notice Qiao Nan in the gray fog when he was outside.
Here he can only see Qiao Nan entering the gray fog and coming out again after a while, as if he got lost in it, then found a new way and came back. Qiao Nan went to the gray fog before
It was the same way back then, so at that time Huo Qizhou thought it was just an ordinary gray fog trip and didn't take it to heart.
It was only when Qiao Nan told Huo Qizhou about the gray fog that Huo Qizhou discovered the special nature of this gray fog.
In the past, Qiao Nan could not pass through the gray fog. Just as Huo Qizhou thought, he seemed lost in the gray fog and could not find his way back.
However, after Qiao Nan entered the gray fog in this life, his soul body unexpectedly came outside the game.
It's just that Qiao Nan didn't tell Huo Qizhou that he had met relatives on his mother's side.
If the Federation wants to come to the Empire, it must say hello to the Empire in advance.
As one of the few generals with real power, Huo Qizhou was naturally able to get the news. Now that Huo Qizhou didn't tell himself, it was probably because people from the alliance hadn't contacted the empire, or someone from over there secretly came over.
Of course, it is also possible that everything he experienced in the gray fog was his own hallucination. Under the uncertain circumstances, Qiao Nan did not want to tell all his experiences during this period, let alone trouble Huo Qizhou with this unfounded speculation.
.
So he only said that the end of the gray fog is the Alliance.
"The Alliance is really far away from the Empire." Huo Qizhou frowned unconsciously when he heard the address of the Alliance.
Qiao Nan has never been on a mission that is too far away, but Huo Qizhou has been, and he also knows the relationship between the Alliance and the Empire.
The distance between the two sides is very far, so far that neither side bothers to attack the other side, and they barely maintain a friendly relationship with each other.
The last time I paid attention to the alliance seemed to be because of Qiao Nan's mother.
And Qiao Nan's mother's clan is in the alliance.
Is this coincidence or necessity?
Since Qiao Nan had already mentioned the alliance, Huo Qizhou also told Qiao Nan the information he had investigated.
He originally wanted to wait until Qiao Nan left the game before telling him, but now Qiao Nan told him that he had been to the alliance. It was hard to tell whether this was a carefully designed trap to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this.
Qiao Nan and Huo Qizhou had no choice but to tell them in advance.
"I think you would like to know about the alliance." Huo Qizhou said something very serious with Li Bai's face, something even beyond Qiao Nan's expectation.
"Not long ago, I investigated your mother's life experience. Your mother is not from the empire, but the youngest daughter of the Mei family of the Interstellar Alliance. She came to the empire because the nanny of the Mei family took her out and moved her around.
By the time we get to the empire, the nanny who brought your mother and the people who escorted them here are already dead."
This is why Mei's mother is in the orphanage.
With all the insiders dead, Mei's mother's origin changed from the eldest lady of the alliance to a powerless orphan who grew up in an orphanage.
If Father Qiao knew that the woman he abandoned had such a noble status, he would definitely choose his mother.
It's a pity that the head of the Qiao family doesn't deserve it.
This information is consistent with what the old lady of the Mei family and General Mei said. The two families are so far apart, there is no way to know each other's situation, let alone collude with each other's confessions.
Before, Qiao Nan was still doubting whether what he met in the gray mist was real or fake. Since he was not sure whether it was real, Qiao Nan did not intend to tell Huo Qizhou.
Now that both sides came to the same conclusion, Qiao Nan had no choice but to believe it.
Qiao Nan hesitated for a while, and then told Huo Qizhou his entire experience in the gray fog, including what he told the Mei family to go to the empire to investigate things about the Qiao family.
Unexpectedly, when Huo Qizhou heard what Qiao Nan said, he suddenly realized, "No wonder we found hackers with unknown origins trying to sneak into our database before. It's just that they escaped too fast and we didn't catch them, so they escaped."
If it is true that the Mei family is conducting the investigation as Qiao Nan said, it can be explained. They want to find out the authenticity of the information Qiao Nan said from the empire, and they also want to see their little sister.
experiences during this time.
Since that was the Mei family, Huo Qizhou no longer worried. After all, it was his future father-in-law's family, and it was not impossible to provide them with some convenience.
But Huo Qizhou's men were fooled.
After receiving the news from Huo Qizhou in the game, his subordinates were confused for a moment.
Their boss actually asked them to send the Qiao family's information to the hacker that day. How did the boss know who the person over there was?
If it were a hostile force, wouldn't this push the Qiao family into a pit of fire?
Does the boss hate the Qiao family so much? How could he do such a cruel thing?
"I will be responsible for contacting the Mei family. Don't worry, just leave everything to me." Knowing what Qiao Nan was worried about, Huo Qizhou took over the responsibility for this matter. Their common goal was the Qiao family.
No one has any sympathy for the unfortunate Qiao family.
Originally, the Huo family was planning to take action against the Qiao family, but they never found an opportunity. Now, the Mei family, who is far away in the Alliance Galaxy, has also started to take action. The problem with the Qiao family is not just a small feud between the nobles, but may lead to
