【Chapter 415, Assassin's Advice】

When Ye Qi took a shower and went out, he found a ray of warm light in the study room on the second floor. He dried his hair and walked over, and saw Shao Qingge sitting at the desk, looking at the information in Guang's brain. Very serious.

In Ye Qi's impression, Shao Qingge was always not very serious, he liked to squint his eyes and tease others, he looked like a "cynical" rich second generation, he rarely saw such a serious expression on Shao Qingge's face. Perhaps, Mr. Shao at work is also like this? The serious man looks 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 raised his eyebrows to look at Ye Qi: "What did you call me?"

Ye Qi was stunned: "Mr. Shao?"

Shao Qingge stood up, walked in front of Ye Qi with his long legs, stretched out his slender fingers to lift the boy's chin, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Think about it, what should you call me?"

Ye Qi came back to his senses, his ears turned red, "Dad?"

Shao Qingge chuckled lightly: "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 murmured in a low voice, "I don't need to care so much about the address in private, right? It's all arranged by the gatekeepers. It's weird to call you dad..."

He thought Shao Qingge was joking, but the man suddenly squeezed Ye Qi's jaw tightly, narrowed his eyes, and lingered on Ye Qi's facial features thoughtfully, that kind of "scrutinizing" gaze made Ye Qi's heart beat Speeding up, the distance between the two was too close, he could almost feel Shao Qingge's warm breath.

Ye Qi's tongue was knotted uncontrollably: "You, look at what I am doing, 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 given a headache by Shao Qingge's series of questions, but suddenly, a thought flashed in Ye Qi's mind, he stared 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, recalling in a low voice: "According to my memory, I adopted Ye Qi when I went to the orphanage for charity more than ten years ago. You, you were only five years old at the time, and your parents died in frontline battles... did they really die?"

Ye Qi's heart became more and more uneasy: "What exactly are you trying 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. Will 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 checked the investment records of the Shao family over the years, I found that the Noah's Ark project 20 years ago was not the first genetic research, but' "Plan to restart", it means that the first research is far ahead of us. I saw a person named Ye in the signature list of this proposal, and I checked it...he looks like you Very similar."

Ye Qi stared at the photo brought up in Guang's brain, dumbfounded: "Could it be that I'm also a replicant?"

"The time doesn't match up, and you and him are just similar in appearance, unlike Xiao Lou who is completely indistinguishable from a replicant." Shao Qingge paused and looked at Ye Qi, "This person named Ye Wenbo should It's your biological father. I checked his information, and he was a senior officer in the Southern Military Region."

Ye Qi asked suspiciously, "But, didn't my father die on the front line?"

A gleam of sharpness flashed in Shao Qingge's eyes: "It's also possible that he was 'sacrificed'."

There is an essential difference between "sacrifice" and "sacrifice". The former is accidental, while the latter is artificial.

Ye Qi didn't have much feeling for the man in the photo. He was sent to an orphanage when he was very young, and was adopted by Shao Qingge when he was five years old. The only one who has the closest relationship with him in this world is Shao Qingge. He has no memory of his biological father and biological mother.

But since Shao Qingge found the name of Ye Qi's biological father in the planning book twenty years ago, it proves that Ye Qi's father also participated in this plan, and his death may not be a simple sacrifice.

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 tomorrow morning and open the safe left by my father."

...

At this time, in the palace.

Xiao Lou's neck was pinched by someone, but the expression on his face was calm.

It stands to reason that most people would be panicked and frightened if they were strangled by their necks and a gun was pointed at their backs... But Xiao Lou didn't show any agitated reactions other than the slight stiffness of his back for two seconds at the beginning.

His face was as calm as usual, and he didn't even have the slightest disturbance in his breathing.

Xiao Lou stood there firmly without frowning.

The assassin noticed his calmness, and couldn't help but coldly said: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Xiao Lou chuckled lightly: "Would you?"

The cold fingers pinching his neck tightened slightly, and Xiao Lou's breathing became more and more difficult, but he still didn't feel any pain.

He was a little flustered, firstly, he and Yu Hanjiang had a tacit understanding, and Yu Hanjiang was waiting for an opportunity in the bathroom next to him, he believed that this man would not let him die at the hands of the assassin; secondly, he didn't think the assassin would immediately kill him.

Xiao Lou said calmly: "Have you been hiding in my bedroom for a long time? I don't know what supernatural power you used to hide your body. I didn't notice 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 for Yu Hanjiang to enter the bathroom, you will suddenly come out and attack me."

Xiao Lou stood motionless on the spot, and his voice was not disturbed at all: "Just now, if you wanted to kill me, when you pressed the gun against my back and lightly pulled the trigger, I would already be a corpse. But, You didn't do anything. That means that I'm alive and still have some value to you, right? "

The assassin froze for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "You are indeed smart."

Xiao Lou asked: "Who sent you here? What exactly do you want to do?"

Just as the assassin was about to speak, suddenly, a strong wind hit the back of his head, and before he had time to react, there was a sharp pain in his arm—a click, that was the sound of the wrist bone being snapped!

Yu Hanjiang's eyes were full of hostility, and at some point, he had quietly walked around behind the assassin.

The man's shot was crisp and quick, as fast as lightning!

With a sharp grab, he grabbed the assassin's wrist controlling Xiao Lou with incomparable precision, twisted it in the opposite direction, and the wrist bone was directly broken by his strong force.

The other hand stretched out like lightning, and quickly snatched the gun from the assassin's hand. At the same time, he kicked the opponent's fragile groin with his right foot, kicked the opponent to the ground with one foot, and folded his hands behind his back to control the attack. Hold, □□arrives on the opponent's head.

Yu Hanjiang's voice was low and dangerous: "Don't move."

Xiao Lou noticed the loosening of his neck, 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 the time.

Yu Hanjiang deserved to have received professional training. Although the assassin was invisible, the cold fingers Xiao Lou felt on his neck and the gun on his lower back clearly revealed the assassin's position at that time.

The assassin was obviously underestimating the enemy, and when Yu Hanjiang held the gun against his head, his body froze slightly. Yu Hanjiang sent the gun forward with his right hand, and continued to exert force with his left hand. There was a piercing pain from the assassin's broken wrist The pain was like the flesh was being torn apart abruptly!

He clenched his teeth and didn't cry out, his teeth were almost crushed.

Yu Hanjiang's voice was cold: "Who sent you here? Didn't you hear His Highness asking you?"

Although the assassin couldn't see his body after being invisible, the black barrel of the gun pressed against Xiao Lou's back located the assassin's hand. There is actually another exit from Xiao Lou's bathroom. Yu Hanjiang cooperated with Xiao Lou to sneak over and 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, Xiao Lou said, "Speak, I'll listen."

The assassin let out a low laugh: "The master said, if necessary, please protect your highness wisely and leave the capital as soon as possible - remember, the one who can survive to the end is the winner."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hanjiang felt his hand loosen suddenly.

The arm that was tightly controlled just now clearly feels like a human arm, but at this moment, those arms suddenly seemed to have no flesh and bones, and they were separated from his hands. It felt as if they were grasping... slippery loach?

Yu Hanjiang was stunned, and wanted to chase after him, but found a black figure jumped out of the window in an instant, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Silence returned to the house.

Yu Hanjiang frowned, staring at his hands. Human arms have bones and flesh and blood, but when the man transformed just now, he really looked like a mass of cartilaginous creatures?

Xiao Lou worriedly asked: "Who the hell is he? And who is his so-called master?"

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment: "If he was a hunter, he would have attacked 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 suspiciously: "Not human?"

Yu Hanjiang pondered: "There should be alien creatures in the interstellar background secret room? So, the invisible ability of this assassin may not come from the card, but from the talent of this alien creature? When he escaped just now , my hand is like touching a slippery loach."

Xiao Lou's scalp was numb: "Alien creatures... like the Zerg we met in 8 of Spades?"

At this moment, several messages popped up on Yu Hanjiang's cell phone.

The first two were sent by Lu Jiuchuan: "Xiao Tang's legs have been healed, and even his toes have grown out. I'm so happy, I can't sleep at all tonight. I won't say much about thank you. I will write it down!"

"By the way, when Ye Qi used the Zerg King Card to treat Xiao Tang just now, Xiao Tang and I remembered some clips at the same time. We must have seen Zerg in this world. I decided to go to Shilt No Man's Land to investigate, but the military department My application will definitely not be approved here, I am currently the head of the Sharp Arrow Legion, and I cannot leave Capital Star casually, so let’s discuss it tomorrow.”

Later

It was sent by Shao Qingge: "The investment records from 20 years ago have been found. This is a photo of the proposal, with some people's signatures on it. These people all participated in the Noah's Ark restart plan that year, and we need to focus on the investigation. Let What I doubt is that Ye Bowen is probably Ye Qi's biological father, and I suspect that his death is not simple, and Ye Qi's orphan status is not arbitrarily set by the gatekeepers, but an important clue."

"My father left me a ring. I can open the Shao family and store it in the safe in the bank. I will go to the bank to get the safe tomorrow morning. I will tell you if I have any clues."

In the end, Qu Wanyue posted: "Miss Lin is still in contact. I have already asked her to have afternoon tea tomorrow and talk about dancing. After the afternoon tea, I will use the chameleon card to follow and sneak into her house." , and report any progress.”

The teammates are working hard, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou are very pleased.

It's just that Xiao Lou is still a little uneasy. The four of Liu Qiao have not been whereabouts so far. Where are they?

*****

【Chapter 416, Noah's Ark Project】

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang carefully sorted out the current clues. The bright line is Lin Yan, the prince's fiancée, and her mother, Ms. Zhang Shaohua, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, has definitely participated in the Noah's Ark project.

There are many hidden threads, 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; Ye Qi's life experience; These clues will be more troublesome to investigate and need 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 the four of Liu Qiao will not disappear inexplicably. Perhaps when everyone gathers, the clues to this secret room will become clearer.

Seeing that it was already late, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang went to bed to rest.

In order to prevent the assassin from sneaking into the double uterus again, Yu Hanjiang guarded Xiao Lou in his arms vigilantly, and at the same time let the intelligent mecha Linghu turn on the all-round monitoring of the double womb again.

Everyone didn't sleep well that night.

The next morning, when Lu Jiuchuan woke up, he found that Tang Ci was standing in the living room, leaning on the wall and walking slowly forward. His legs were not flexible enough, like a child learning to walk, limping crutches, awkward posture...

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 hadn't seen such a radiant Tang Ci for a long, long time. Although there was no expression on his face, Lu Jiuchuan knew that Tang Ci was very happy to stand up again.

Lu Jiuchuan's heart softened, and he hurried over to help him, but was interrupted softly by Tang Ci: "Don't help me."

"Okay, okay, walk by yourself." Lu Jiuchuan smiled and watched him practice walking, "Are you still used to the new legs?"

"Well, it's very easy to use, and 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 to the living room.

Tang Ci said displeasedly: "What are you doing..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Jiuchuan chuckle and said, "Have you forgotten that you should wear shoes after you grow feet?"

Tang Ci looked down and saw that he was actually walking barefoot in the living room.

I haven't worn shoes for a long time, and I don't have suitable shoes around, so I forgot this detail. The white toes kept touching the cold floor, turning red from the cold, as if protesting against the master's disrespect for the feet. Lu Jiuchuan carried him to the living room, found him a pair of slippers, and put them on his feet himself: "I'll buy you a pair of shoes later, and put on slippers to deal with it."

Tang Ci ignored the strange feeling of his toes touching the man's warm palm, and said softly, "Ninth Brother."

Lu Jiuchuan looked up at him: "Huh?"

Tang Ci hesitated for a moment before saying: "I had a nightmare last night, dreaming of some fragments, I'm not sure if it's 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 Hilt's no-man's land. The one who attacked us was a strange alien creature. They have high-tech smart armor and seem to have the ability to be invisible?"

Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "Invisibility? Is it related to the assassin who sneaked into the double womb that Qu Wanyue said?"

Tang Ci said: "Because it's a dream, I can't be sure whether it's a memory flash or not. I think we have to set off as soon as possible to go to Shilt No Man's Land again. Only when we go there can the mystery be solved."

Lu Jiuchuan also agreed with this point: "I'll ask Han Jiang and Xiao Lou to meet and discuss it."

***

At the same time, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi came to the largest Royal Bank in Capital Star after having breakfast.

Father left a safe here.

Shao Qingge didn't know what was stored there, so 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 led him into the top floor of the bank. .

Shao Qingge followed the manager to the safe left by his father.

Ye Qi widened his eyes and looked at the safe curiously. The height of this cabinet is nearly 1.5 meters, and there is a password sensing area directly in front of the silver-white metal safe. Shao Qingge first unlocked the first password with fingerprint verification, and then put the ring left by his father on it. out of the sensing area to unlock the second password.

A line of words "Password matching successful" pops up on the screen.

The next moment, there was a "pop" in my ears, and the silver metal cabinet slowly opened in front of my eyes...

Then, Ye Qi and Shao

Qingge froze at the same time.

The cabinet is full of money.

Row after row of red banknotes were neatly 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 supported his forehead.

His father, a local tyrant, 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 the Noah Medical Technology Company, and the monthly profit is enough for the whole group to live comfortably for decades; even if he is penniless in this world, the gold coins they earned before are converted into star coins After that, you will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing.

It's better to leave some clues than leave a cabinet of money.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shao Qingge's eyes.

But the manager felt that Mr. Shao was really rich and self-willed, and he was disappointed when he saw a cabinet full of money?

Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi: "Take it back? Or put it in the card directly?"

Ye Qi thought to himself, so much cash should not be for nothing, but he always felt that it was not right to deposit it in the card. He carefully observed the cabinet. Although the cash was placed neatly, but... every row was missing a piece?

At first glance, there is no problem, but when you think about it carefully, it is not right.

Shao Qingge's father was a celebrity on the empire's richest list. If he really wanted to leave his son a cabinet of cash, how could he not fill the cabinet full? Is he short of that money? Since there is no shortage, why are there vacancies in every row?

Ye Qi tried to count from left to right.

If you take a bundle of money (100,000 star coins) bundled together as a numerical unit, the first line is missing 2, the second line is 9...the third line is 7, the fourth line is 5...and then there is 0, 7, 1, 5.

There are a total of eight rows in the cabinet, and each row is missing a wad of money.

Ye Qi connected the numbers in his mind.

29750715? Eight digits, is it a password? Or is it... a date?

If it is a date, it is July 15, 2975 in the ephemeris?

Today is July 16, 3000 in the star calendar, and Xiao Lou passed his 25th birthday yesterday, that is, July 15, so Xiao Lou’s date of birth——is July 15, 2975 in the star calendar!

This discovery made Ye Qi's heart beat violently.

He didn't think it was a coincidence.

Because Ye Qi and Shao Qingge had a tacit connection when they went out, Ye Qi immediately told Shao Qingge about this discovery. Shao Qingge originally reached out to touch the star coins in the cabinet, but stopped abruptly.

This money...wasn't just the money his father had left him.

It's a password!

Some codes involving important clues!

Fortunately, Xiaoye is smart and cautious enough, if they destroy the arrangement of the coins in the cabinet, see the money, and directly deposit the cash into the bank card, then they will lose the most important clue.

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes, looked at the account manager beside him, and asked with a smile: "Can I move the whole box?"

The manager nodded: "Of course, Mr. Shao bought this safe, after confirming his identity and signing it, you can move it away at any time."

Shao Qingge nodded and signed the confirmation contract.

The cabinet is very large. In order not to damage the arrangement of the star coins in the cabinet, Ye Qi took advantage of the people around him not paying attention, and directly used the teleportation card to bring the cabinet into the hover car. He said with fear: "July 15, 2975 is Xiao Lou's birthday, it cannot be a coincidence that your father used coins to display this number in the safe!"

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 Star Calendar 2975 On July 15th, that is, the day Xiao Lou was born, the Noah's Ark project was launched for the first time? And 20 years ago, when Xiao Lou was 5 years old, the plan restarted?"

Ye Qi thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "That makes sense! Restarting, it must have been activated once before. If it was activated for the first time 25 years ago, and the second activation 20 years ago, both times have something to do with Professor Xiao. Connection! The first time is the day he was born, and the second time is the year when 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 immediately said, "Xiao Lou, we have to make a decision."

After a day, the tacit understanding between the two has been 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 his meaning from Yu Hanjiang's eyes: "You want to leave the palace to investigate? "

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Let's find an excuse to leave the palace and let Brother Jiu lead the Sharp Arrow Army to protect you. Only in this way can we transfer 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 I can only sit and wait.

It's better to burn the boat and flee this place where cards are banned collectively, and conduct a comprehensive investigation from the periphery.
