The atmosphere in the restaurant became a little strange in an instant.
Ruan Qiu was at a loss. He looked at Si Xun and turned his head to look at Xi Yuan.
Xi Yuan ate silently. He had never had any requirements for food. As long as he could eat, he could eat quickly, and the plate was quickly swept away.
He picked up the cup, drank all the milk inside, and then sat in place and waited.
Compared with him, the inquiry on the opposite side was slow, and he only took a small sip of milk.
When his eyes swept to the abyss again, he faintly showed a trace of criticism, as if he disliked his behavior.
Both of them stopped talking, let alone to explain. Ruan Qiu said "Oh" weakly and continued to eat.
After dinner, the inquiry hasn't left yet.
He hurried back early in the morning, and his official duties were shelved. He simply followed Ruan Qiu's wishes and prepared to rest for a long time.
Last night, Ruan Qiu overused his mental strength, and Tang Qian told the inquiry in time.
But he didn't know that Ruan Qiu had a dream again, just because he learned about the Inset some time ago, and he was still a little afraid and worried.
Si Xun was at home, and Ruan Qiu also postponed his homework in the morning and wanted to accompany him for a while.
Thinking of the inquiry he saw in his dream, Ruan Qiu was very sad.
At the beginning, when he didn't know why Si Xun became a villain, he guessed that it might be because of his personal selfishness and behavior, which led him to do something wrong.
Although the main star is called the main star, the overall strength of the allied army declines year by year. In order to stabilize its position, the enquiry may use extreme means. The twins are the result of his attempts to change the status quo.
Therefore, when Ruan Qiu accidentally saw the document about spiritual research for the first time, he was so nervous and repeatedly asked the department if he had participated.
However, Si Xun just wanted to get back the white bird.
Lu Ji was afraid of causing trouble and dared not tell the real situation of his spiritual strength. The inquiry's doubts about him were understandable, but he could deal with it in a more peaceful way.
And he was alone, and the white bird was the only thing left by Si Ying, which became his only obsession.
Si Xun is not a pure bad person, and neither is Xi Yuan. Ruan Qiu has spent the longest time with them, and he knows this best.
Now that he is living well as Si Ying's bloodline, and the white bird is also with him, then Si Xun will definitely not make the same mistake and go to the end of the original book.
Ruan Qiu was not only sad for the inquiry in his dream, but also very happy.
In a sense, it was his appearance that changed the inquiry and the attack of the abyss.
But if Si Xun knows that he is not the real Ruan Qiu...
He was just a wandering soul from a different world. He somehow came here and entered the body of "Ruan Qiu".
He even had the illusion that he had become the second Lu Ji, did not dare to tell the truth about himself, and was afraid of losing everything he had.
At the same time, he is also fundamentally different from Lu Ji. He has always been on the side of Si Xun and Xi Yuan.
For so long, Ruan Qiu had regarded Si Xun as his uncle. It was strange to say that he felt kind when he saw Si Xun at the beginning, even if Si Xun disliked him as weak at that time and was a little cold to him.
Ruan Qiu hoped that he would be the "Ruan Qiu" of the world. When he read the diary left by Si Ying, the kind names in it seemed to call him.
Maybe after a long time, he will confess all his experiences, but now he won't say it anyway.
The weather of the main star is good during the day. Si Xun sits in the yard drinking tea, occasionally looks through the communicator, and handles some official business remotely in this way.
Ruan Qiu sat in a small pavilion nearby and read a book.
Si Xun seemed to find that Ruan Qiu was often absent-minded and called him, "Xiaoqiu."
Ruan Qiu quickly put down the book and walked over. Si Xun was closing his eyes and recuperation: "In a while, you will go to school. You can relax these days without paying too much attention to your homework."
Si Xun's words are completely different from those before Ruan Qiu went to Harlem College last time. In the past, he asked Ruan Qiu to try his best and must suffer the hardships.
Now that he has left Harlem College, Ruan Qiu has a white bird, and the enquiry does not force him to study military affairs. Just let nature take its course.
Ruan Qiu nodded and answered. Si Xun opened his eyes, stroked his sleeves and stood up: "It's almost done. I have to go to the council hall to have a look."
He paused and added, "Come back in the evening."
Before lunch, Si Xun was in a hurry to leave, and Ruan Qiu sent him to the door.
Before leaving, Si Xun looked at the abyss in the face behind Ruan Qiu.
"You," he raised his chin slightly. "You have to take time to go to the barracks. You can't stay here every day."
A group of his men in the attack onyuan were in the barracks, mixed with the real alliance army. From time to time, he appeared to time to suppress them.
Besides, he now has a registered position. According to common sense, he needs to deal with some military affairs.
Xi Yuan looked up, as if he had found the hidden intention of Si Xun, and said indifferently, "No."
He is confident in the people he brought, and those who are not easy to discipline in the organization are left in the Griffin Star, and Kang Shuangchi is in charge.
Seeing that he refused, Si Xun's eyes cooled down, but he didn't seem to be angry.
Ruan Qiu stretched out his hand to the back and quietly pulled the hem of Xiyuan's clothes.
Xi Yuan bowed his head and took the opportunity to hold his hand. His eyebrows were slightly soft, and he changed his words and said, "I'll think about it."
Si Xun didn't want to talk to him more. He told Ruan Qiu a few words and turned around and left under the escort of the allied army.
As soon as he left, Ruan Qiu finally had a chance to ask Xi Yuan and asked curiously, "Brother, when did you admit your mistake to your uncle? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xi Yuan didn't say anything, as if he was recalling.
He led Ruan Qiu back and said after a long time, "Recently."
They have only been back for more than half a month, and this period is the latest.
Ruan Qiu saw that Xi Yuan didn't want to say more and didn't ask. It was strange for Si Xun to mention this in the morning, but it should be... no big problem.
He was relieved and continued to talk to Xi Yuan on the way: "Uncle usually looks strict, but in fact he is very soft-hearted. Don't always make him unhappy..."
Si Xun can at least be regarded as an elder of Xiyuan. He came to the main star again, and Si Xun still needs to listen to it.
If there is a chance, it would be good for the two to get along well...
The corridor is quiet and empty, and occasionally several Union troops can be seen staying everywhere.
Xi Yuan listened in silence and responded, "Hmm."
In the afternoon, Ruan Qiu went to the tutor's place on time. Xi Yuan guarded the door for a while and went to the barracks near the house.
Shortly after he left, Li Luo came over after Ruan Qiu's class.
It seemed that she had just got up and looked around and found that Xi Yuan was not there. She hesitated to talk to Ruan Qiu alone.
Ruan Qiu took the initiative to call her, "What's the matter? Xiyuan went out. I don't know when he will come back.
Li Luo approached and put down the record screen in his hand.
Her short hair was slightly messy, and her eyes under the lens were slightly shiny: "I've been watching your mental data all night."
It turned out that this was the reason why she couldn't get up on time this morning. Li Luo turned on the recording screen again and showed Ruan Qiu some values.
"It's only been a night, and your mental strength has returned to its peak."
Li Luo explained to him, "If you are an ordinary person, it usually takes a week. Even with the most efficient tonic, the physical quality is super strong, and it will take at least two days to recover."
The more mental energy is consumed, the slower the recovery speed will be.
It only took Ruan Qiu one night to drink a bottle of nutrition, and he recovered completely.
He also wore a bracelet to absorb energy. Li Luo guessed that the spiritual power of recovery was still continuous, but there were relatively few leaks, all of which were in the bracelet.
The structure of Ruan Qiu's physical or spiritual strength must be different from that of ordinary people.
In order to confirm this, Li Luo met Tang Qian on the way here and asked them if they knew.
Tang Qian didn't expect that the people who attacked Yuan also found the special spiritual strength of Ruan Qiu. After he turned on the communicator and got the consent of the inquiry, he vaguely told Li Luo that Ruan Qiu's spiritual power was indeed unusual.
Although the information on both sides is different, Tang Qian only knows that Ruan Qiu's spiritual level has been increasing, and Li Luo's focus is on the recovery speed of spiritual strength.
But the conclusion is the same. Ruan Qiu's spiritual structure is different from that of ordinary people.
Li Luo was really curious and asked Tang Qian, "Is he a hybrid of outer galaxies? Half an Inset?"
This can also explain why the Inset people want to catch Ruan Qiu. Their race has no spiritual power, but has done a lot of spiritual research.
Tang Qian stared at Li Luo fiercely: "Miss Li, please be cautious!"
Forget the first half of the sentence. How can Ruan Qiu be half an Inset? It's impossible to rely on his appearance alone.
Li Luo apologized knowingly, "I said it casually."
She still couldn't help being curious. After saying goodbye to Tang Qian, she came to Ruan Qiu again.
"Have you had any discomfort in your body all this time?" Li Luo asked.
Ruan Qiu thought for a moment, "I've had it before, but I haven't seen it for a long time..."
He felt instantaneous heartache several times. The doctor who asked Si Xun also examined his body and came to the conclusion that he was just too weak.
After that, Ruan Qiu's nutrition gradually kept up, and he went to the Griffin Star and was also well taken care of, and he never had such symptoms again.
Li Luo was very interested in this and asked Ruan Qiu for details.
Hearing Ruan Qiu's mention, he had a feeling of being hit by an electric current every time. Li Luo frowned gently and lowered his head to record quickly.
"Current? Is it energy..." Li Luo said to herself, feeling that she had faintly found a little key information, but she kneaded into a messy line and couldn't find a clue for a moment.
At this time, Ruan Qiu was distracted and thought of the Inset race again.
They are well-developed in scientific research, and their talents are very special. How does it sound... It's as if he is the finished scientific research product of the Inset people, just like the dragon and phoenix twins.
Maybe his father was the one who was hunted down by the Insetians?
His father disappeared, and they changed their target to him.
For a moment, Ruan Qiu felt a chill on his back.
There is very little information about his father with a body, which is the most strange one in Ruan Qiu's cognition.
He was inexplicably afraid and felt worried and uneasy about the father he had never met for the first time.
Li Luo was still immersed in his thoughts and did not notice Ruan Qiu in front of him.
When Xiyuan came back, he saw this scene.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Luo came to her senses and quickly stepped back a few steps.
Xi Yuan frowned and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
Li Luo briefly said the reason why she came here: "I've asked everything I want to ask. Let's go first."
She was in a hurry and was busy going back to do some small research.
At the end of the break, the tutor came in and was attacked by Yuan on the grounds that he needed another ten minutes.
Xi Yuan bent his knees and squatted in front of Ruan Qiu and took Ruan Qiu's hand: "Are you afraid?"
His worried and frightened look was a little similar to every time he dreamed.
Ruan Qiu shook his head bluntly and stretched out his hand to Xiyuan.
Xi Yuan hugged him, got up and squeezed into the same chair.
The warm embrace at any time can make Ruan Qiu feel at ease. He buried in front of Xiyuan and took a deep breath slowly.
If he really studied the finished product, would he have incurable side effects like dragon and phoenix twins?
And his father... Somehow, Ruan Qiu remembered his former father.
However, he soon found that he couldn't remember what the other party looked like, and all his memories became very vague.
Ruan Qiu was confused for a moment and stared at the collar in front of him.
Ten minutes was very short. Xi Yuan didn't want to disturb Ruan Qiu's study. He whispered to him, "Do you want to send a summons to your uncle?"
With many people around, maybe Ruan Qiu will feel more secure.
Ruan Qiu shook his head and rubbed his cheek against the soft collar: "Brother, let's read with me later."
Xi Yuan answered "good", and the home teacher let go of Ruan Qiu when he walked in again, exited the room and waited for him to finish class.
—
Li Luo carried his own work box with him. After hurried back that day, he made another thing, which was a small energy gun.
"This is not lethal," she explained. "It doesn't hurt much to hit the body. Do you want to try it?"
She wants Ruan Qiu to spend part of her mental strength first, and then use an energy gun to attack herself to see if it will affect the recovery of her mental strength.
Ruan Qiu himself had no objection, but Xi Yuan and Tang Qian firmly opposed it.
Tang Qian said seriously, "How can you try this kind of thing at will? And do you have a license for the firearms you made? Can you ensure safety?"
Xi Yuan had only one word: "Get out of here."
Even if there is no lethality, this is a gun. What if something goes wrong? You can never risk Ruan Qiu's body.
Li Luo put away the energy gun regretfully: "Well, I'll think about it again."
Her research direction seems to be getting more and more biased. She only cares about Ruan Qiu's speciality. She hasn't asked about the attack on Yuan for several days.
Xi Yuan drove people away impatiently and protected Ruan Qiu tightly behind him.
When Tang Qian saw his behavior, his impression of him improved a little. He said politely, "Miss Li, please go back. If the young master is not feeling well, we also have the best doctors here."
He personally sent Li Luo away, leaving Ruan Qiu and Xi Yuan in the house.
Ruan Qiu was also very sorry: "Actually, I think I can have a try. I didn't feel the pain of the energy of the ion gun at Harlem College before..."
As he spoke, Xi Yuan suddenly grabbed his hand and took his whole body into his arms.
Xi Yuan kissed the tip of Ruan Qiu's ear, and his palms followed his back and whispered, "Lu Ji found it."
Ruan Qiu was stunned and unconsciously clenched the hem of the abyss: "Where is he?"
He looked nervous and obviously was a little afraid of this person.
Xi Yuan's eyes were slightly cold: "I'll kill him."
The person was found by the inquiry and relied on the simulated portrait made by Ruan Qiu.
The name Lu Ji is relatively popular, and the portrait is not perfect. The people arranged by the inquiry carefully compared the gender, age and other characteristics in turn, and finally set a goal.
"Wait..." Ruan Qiu said quickly, "Where is he? I want to...see him first."
So, Xi Yuan picked up the display screen that had already been placed aside.
He turned on the screen and played a video.
The video was taken secretly, and the perspective was strange, shuttling between the crowds.
From the shaking picture, it can be seen that the surrounding environment is very ordinary, like a remote and poor planet.
"Hey, are you Lu Ji?"
A voice sounded, and a man in the picture turned around and wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve: "It's me."
After seeing the man's face clearly, Ruan Qiu breathed and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Although after waking up, Lu Ji's face would soon become blurred, until he couldn't remember, he still recognized him at a glance.
This is Lu Ji in the dream, and he looks right at his age.
Lu Ji rolled his sleeves to his elbow and held a piece of something similar to alloy, with a simple expression: "Boss, do you want to buy something?"
There is a small stall behind him, full of fragmentary mechanical parts, and there are some items such as TV sets on the shelves behind, with small signs with "efficient maintenance" written on it.
The person talking to him answered, looked at the parts casually, and asked Lu Ji how much it cost to repair an ion gun.
Hearing the word "ion gun", Lu Ji's eyes became cautious and embarrassed: "I'm sorry, boss, I can only repair household appliances. Like you... I won't."
In areas with scarce resources, there are very few people who can have weapons. He realizes that the other party is a little ahead and dares not say anything more.
"Ocline." The sound was lacking in interest, the perspective of the picture was moved away, and the video stopped abruptly.
There are also several videos behind, which were taken from a long distance, recording the landing pole's work, closing stalls, and going home.
Until he finished reading it all, Xi Yuan threw away the display screen, hugged Ruan Qiu and touched his face: "Is it this person?"
Ruan Qiu nodded, hesitated for a moment and shook his head again.
That's Lu Ji, but it's not Lu Ji in his dream.
I don't know if it's because of his arrival that Lu Ji didn't seem to have experienced those things in the original book.
He is an ordinary person with his own ordinary life.
Ruan Qiu's mood was still a little complicated, but the stone he had been pressing in his heart almost disappeared.
The protagonist is no longer the "protagonist", and Si Xun and Xi Yuan are no longer the villains who have done all the bad things in the original book.
The last one is the extragalactic communities that don't know where they are hiding.
Both Xiyuan and Sixun said that they could not be found at present. If they were to look outside the galaxy, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Most of them are aware that they are exposed and afraid that they may not appear again.
If that's the case, then don't worry.
Ruan Qiu was still immersed in his own thoughts. Xi Yuan waited patiently and gently stroked his silver hair.
When Ruan Qiu finally recovered, Xi Yuan asked again, "Take him back?"
Si Xun is now more and more cautious. He doesn't want to make too much noise. He just let people observe secretly and send back the video.
Xi Yuan was dissatisfied with this. If he had taken action, he would have locked up the man for disposal.
"Don't," Ruan Qiu took Xi Yuan's hand. "He is different from the person I dreamed of."
Lu Ji is completely different from the description in the original book. For them, he is a stranger, so there is no need to disturb other people's lives.
Xi Yuan stared at Ruan Qiu for a while, confirmed that he was in a normal mood, and endured: "Okay."
Ruan Qiu still refused to tell all the dream he had, and did not tell him or Si Xun.
But Lu Ji, according to the information found, he has never left his planet. He is far away from Loren Mercury, and his relatives and friends are clean.
In short, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be related to Ruan Qiu.
If it is a coincidence, the person in the dream really exists, not only the long and connected names are the same, which is too strange.
Ruan Qiu may have a secret, but he doesn't want to say it.
Xi Yuan doesn't want to delve into this point. It's normal to have secrets or things on his mind, as long as Ruan Qiu is safe and doesn't leave him.
He hugged Ruan Qiu and put it on his lap, treated his beloved porcelain doll, and kissed Ruan Qiu's white cheek: "No class today?"
"No, the teacher is on vacation," Ruan Qiu let him hold it, glanced at the display screen in the corner of the sofa, and quickly took it back: "I'm going to school in two days..."
—
Two days later, everything was ready. Si Xun deliberately put down his official business and sent Ruan Qiu to school in person.
The journey was very short, and the starship arrived at its destination in less than ten minutes.
There were also many students outside the school. Seeing the appearance of a team of alliance star boats, they looked up one after another.
There are also many journalists from the news agency in the crowd who want to take some photos of Ruan Qiu. He has appeared in the eyes of the masses so few times that many people are curious about him.
However, the star ship sailed directly into the college, and the unrecit people were stopped outside.
The college's huge playground is used as a temporary berthing area. Ruan Qiu stood under the starship hatch: "Will uncle come back for dinner in the evening?"
"Let's have a look," Si Xun said. "If you need anything, please contact me in time."
This college is not as good as Harlem's military academy, and the defense is average. In order to protect Ruan Qiu's safety, there will be a starship left in the sky at any time.
There were also three Union troops behind Ruan Qiu. They followed Ruan Qiu into the college and waited in the corridor outside the classroom during class.
Such an arrangement made Ruan Qiu out of place in the college, but the inquiry said that he came here in this way, and someone followed him wherever he went outside.
The people of the main star are also used to this, and the college acquiesced in Ruan Qiu's special treatment.
Ruan Qiu nodded, saw the inquiry leave, and then followed the waiting teacher to the teaching building.
The three allied troops behind him followed closely. One of them was tall and outstanding from afar, but his face was ordinary.
When Ruan Qiu entered the classroom, he didn't need to introduce himself and sat down in the arranged seat.
Perhaps the college warned in advance that the students did not dare to show too much curiosity about Ruan Qiu.
They treat classmates they have known for a long time, occasionally carefully looking at him, or looking at the allied army at the door.
At the end of the morning's class, the tense atmosphere in the classroom improved a lot.
Except for Ruan Qiu's identity, he is just a student who has just become an adult, and he doesn't seem to be very talkative.
At noon, Tang Qian was worried that Ruan Qiu would not get used to the canteen of the college, so he brought some prepared meals.
After lunch, Ruan Qiu slept in the starship and continued to class in the afternoon.
The door of the classroom was closed, and there was a faint "drop" sound in the corridor. An allied soldier raised his wrist.
He took a look at the communicator and let the remaining two continue to guard and leave the teaching building alone.
A starship had landed in the berth of the college. Xiyuan entered the cockpit and took off the disguise on his face.
It's uncomfortable to cover the face with a transparent film, but this is the request of the inquiry. When he appears outside, he must change his face.
Xi Yuan took a few steps closer and asked, "Where are the people?"
The subordinate told him from the communicator that a suspicious starship was found near the college. They intercepted the starship in time and caught the two people inside.
They admitted that they came to observe the situation and wanted to see if Ruan Qiu really went to school here.
If the subordinates can't ask for more information, they should inform Xi Yuan first.
The starship left the college and came to a remote corner.
There are several low houses there, and some of the Union troops in regular clothes are waiting outside.
Xi Yuan entered one of the houses and saw the two people who were caught.
Some Union troops are still trying to ask questions and show some images to the two of them.
When they saw some images of the Inset, the two obviously reacted, but they refused to say anything.
Xi Yuan stood outside the one-way glass and looked at it, gradually losing his patience.
He took off his coat, unbuttoned his cufflinks, pushed the door and walked in.
—
When a Confederate soldier around Si Xun came, there was a smell of blood in the room.
Xi Yuan just washed his hands and casually took some paper towels to wipe the blood stains on his body.
He looked cold, as if nothing had happened just now, and he took a set of clean clothes sent by the other party.
Some subordinates came in from the outside and said, "It's all done."
The two people also recruited and told everything they knew.
In some ways, it is true that Star Thieves are better at it.
Unfortunately, they confessed too late. Xi Yuan didn't do any disguise. When they saw his face, it was impossible to stay alive.
There were also people in the room who cleaned up the mess. Xiyuan entered the cubicle and changed his clothes and came out.
The allied army who sent him clothes couldn't help looking at him and asked, "Strike the leader, what should you do next?"
This is the only progress in a long time. It seems that the Inset still hasn't given up, and Ruan Qiu couldn't help it as soon as he appeared.
Xi Yuan put on his coat again, and the buttons at the neckline were meticulously tied: "Go to the college."
