Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden o12o1 The Art of Balance After taking one bite of Anasu, Zhang Yi couldn't help but think back to the time he spent in the free people's camp.
Although he was an investigator lurking among the free people at the time, because there were too few clues at that time, there was no harvest at all in a short period of time. Therefore, for Zhang Yi... those days were not so much spent in lurking, but as a change.
I learned my identity and experienced the "barbaric" life without the protection of a dome.
"Tsk...I haven't drank Anasu for a long time..." Zhang Yi sighed.
The girl at the bar was wiping the glass and asked with a smile: "Uncle, you look young. How come you like this kind of wine?"
Zhang Yi smiled, put down the cup and said, "I spent some time in a free people's camp before, and the people there really liked this wine."
The girl said "Oh" clearly after hearing this, and then asked: "Would you like another drink?"
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "No, I still have things to do, thank you." As he said this, Zhang Yi took out a few coins and put them on the bar.
But the girl said: "Put the money away."
Zhang Yi was startled: "Huh?"
The girl smiled: "I'll treat you to it."
Zhang Yi smiled: "Then...thank you." After saying that, Zhang Yi put away the coins and turned around and left the bar.
During the whole process, Bai Wenshu turned a blind eye to Zhang Yi and seemed not to care at all who was sitting next to him.
After leaving the bar, Zhang Yi walked forward along the street, seemingly aimless, but in fact his work had just begun...
…
"Hey, why are you free today?" The girl asked Bai Wenshu quietly while lying on the bar.
Bai Wenshu changed to a cup of hot drink and was sipping it. After listening to the girl's question, he replied: "You don't know?"
The girl was startled: "What do you know?"
"Ha..." Bai Manjusri stopped talking and just smiled.
The girl was unhappy: "Say it!"
Bai Wenshu then said: "The second young master of the Constantine family...is dead..."
The girl's eyes widened when she heard this: "Who?!"
Bai Wenshu stared at the tea in the cup and said, "It's about what happened the night before yesterday...but very few people know about it now."
The girl came back to her senses and said with a cold face: "Who did it?"
Bai Wenshu shook his head: "I don't know, he died very strangely..."
"What's the weird trick?"
Bai Wenshu looked up at the girl in front of him and said, "He killed himself."
…
Kill yourself?
Zhang Yi, who was walking on the street, stopped.
This sentence sounds a bit wrong at first glance... because according to the common understanding, killing yourself is not suicide? But doesn't Bai Wenshu know how to use "suicide" to simplify the term? She can't be burdened with the task of filling the word count, right?
Zhang Yi laughed at himself and soon understood.
…
The girl's eyes changed, she stood up straight and said, "Then why do you dare to come out alone?"
Bai Manjusri seemed to be afraid of the cold and never put down the cup. She continued to drink water, with a faint sweat on her forehead.
"Are you worried about me?"
The girl rolled her eyes at Manjusri and said, "Nonsense, you are my sister-in-law, and you are pregnant with the next generation heir of the Qin family. I don't care about you, who cares about you?"
Bai Manjusri heard the words and body
Zi trembled slightly, but then showed an indifferent smile and said: "Your brother is no longer here, how can I, a person with no status, still have the value of existence?"
The girl frowned: "What did you say?! Why is it worthless?! You don't really think that the patriarch of the Qin family is Qin Yi, do you?"
Bai Wenshu didn't want to argue, so she put down the cup and said: "Don't worry, Coco... I know you treat me sincerely, but now... the real Bai Wenshu is attending the celebration in Elub, and I... am just a person who must be hidden.
Substitute, what do I have to be afraid of?"
…
cocoa?
Zhang Yi immediately remembered who the girl at the bar was.
Among the collateral blood relatives of the Qin family, he is the youngest and has the lowest qualifications, but he is the most qualified person to take over the Qin family besides Qin Qing, Qin Wen and others.
It's a pity that the Qin family has already declined before Qin Ke grew up. At that time, Qin Ke was just an inconspicuous child in the Qin family, so... even if Qin Ke has grown up now, the position of the head of the Qin family has also declined.
There's no way it's her turn to sit.
But... what Zhang Yi is more concerned about now is that although he knows that Qin Ke has an older brother named Qin Yao, he doesn't know how Qin Yao is related to the eldest lady of the Bai family.
And from their conversation just now, Zhang Yi also learned a shocking secret.
That is, Bai Manjusri is pregnant, and the father of this child is Qin Yao, who was once a highly prestigious member of the Qin family.
but……
Why does Bai Wenshu say that he is a substitute?
What happened to the real Bai Manjusri participating in the celebration in Erub?
Could it be that Bai Manjusri has always been in contact with his own copy of Turaya? Just like the peaceful coexistence between Dongfang Ruo and Niyunji back then?
But... the key is, how to distinguish who is the real White Manjusri?
Or...is it possible that they have been sharing an identity?
After various conjectures were formed in Zhang Yi's mind, Zhang Yi also had some ideas in his mind.
At the same time, his vigilance against Wang Fugui also deepened a lot...
'It seems that I have to ask Xuan'er to help me conduct a thorough investigation... Wang Fugui... actually knows so much...' Zhang Yi thought, raised his head and looked around.
Unknowingly, he had walked out of the bar street and stood at the intersection. Zhang Yi looked towards the Saint Gaia Assembly Hall in the distance.
The Santa Gaia Assembly Hall, with a construction area of over 150,000 square meters, is the landmark building in the central area of the Percival Dome and is also the most prestigious classical building complex in the world. Among them, the Byrancil Hall, used as the main assembly hall, is even more popular.
It was built during the Tarasha Dynasty and has a history of more than 3,000 years.
As the core of the Saint Gaia Assembly Hall, the now renamed Byrancil Hall hosts various large-scale events every year. The most recent event even invited famous speakers from all over the world to hold more than a dozen large-scale events.
Speaking activities.
Logically speaking... a place like this should be the most sacred and solemn holy place.
But now, in Zhang Yi's eyes, most of the people gathered here are high-sounding people... Although they represent the upper structure of the entire human civilization system, they seem to have completely separated from the entire human civilization and have become aloof and arrogant.
"Ha... I didn't expect that I, Zhang Yi, would be such an angry young man one day..." Zhang Yi laughed at himself, then looked back at the street.
I happened to see Wang Fugui walking towards this side with someone.
After seeing Zhang Yi, Wang Fugui waved his hand with a smile on his face. It seemed that things went smoothly.
…
On the way back, Zhang Yi heard a lot of conversations between Qin Ke and the "stand-in" Bai Wenshu, but most of them revolved around feelings and had no real content.
Although Zhang Yi was a little irritable, he did not rush to close the eavesdropping channel, but quietly recorded everything.
As for Wang Fugui.
The second helper he found for Zhang Yi was a young B-level guy who was waiting to be promoted. He looked quite energetic, but he had been silent since he greeted Zhang Yi, giving people a very mysterious look.
a feeling of.
Zhang Yi did not inquire about his identity. He only knew that his name was Hua Yuanming and that he was a "master thief" who had never failed.
…
one day ago.
"What's the reason?" Zhang Yi asked.
Wang Fugui smiled meaningfully and said: "That's because... the Qin family has done a good enough job as the fulcrum of balance."
"Qin family?" Zhang Yi frowned and thought to himself: 'Why are you involved with the Qin family again?'
Wang Fugui nodded, and then explained: "Other than Qi Xuan and his lover, the most prestigious and powerful person in the interstellar army is Miss Qin Wen who has not given up her surname. But after all, she is already completely
The digital life forms and intelligence samples are completely integrated with the King, so the connection between Qin Wen and the Qin family is in a very ambiguous state."
"Oh? What kind of ambiguity?"
"Haha, Brother Yi, think about it, when the Cerberus Dome was destroyed and the Qin family suffered great changes, everyone thought that the declining Qin family would be cannibalized by the other six major families, but what happened? Although the Qin family is gone
Qin Qing and Qin Wen, the direct heirs, still survived the most difficult days, and even showed signs of recovery. To outsiders, all this was due to the pure family tradition of the Qin family and the concerted efforts within the clan. However,
If you stand taller, you will realize... In fact, the great changes in the Qin family are not only not a disaster, but may actually achieve it, making it the most critical balance fulcrum among the seven major families and even the entire human society!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "You mean...the great changes caused by Qin Qing's wrong bet not only did not cause the decline of the Qin family, but were used by people with ulterior motives to maintain the relationship between the seven major powers.
The delicate balance of the family is the key to the stability and order of the entire world?"
Wang Fugui laughed when he heard this: "Yes! Brother Yi can see it very clearly!"
Zhang Yi sneered in his heart: 'You kid can see it very clearly... No... it's too clear!'
"But..." Zhang Yi started to pretend to be confused again, he frowned and said: "There is one thing that I really can't figure out. Even if Qin Wen is secretly helping, the Qin family has overcome the difficulties, then it should be more inclined to Xiao Qing.
The right one is at the top management level? How can it become the fulcrum of balance?”
When Wang Fugui heard this, he said sadly: "Brother Yi, there's no point in pretending to be confused now."
Zhang Yi was startled, then suddenly laughed, he sighed and said: "You are right, I am pretending to be confused when I ask this... But, it is not completely pretending to be confused... After all, many things never happen
From a big perspective, it looks simple, but when you get down to it, it’s not that easy to see the intricate connections, right?”
Wang Fugui understood. He pondered for a while and then said: "Actually, it's not that complicated... It's just that some people in the top management don't want those who are still supporting the 'disciples' to see their true purpose."
