We are from the future ark

"It's just a matter of the future... Although I don't know what happened in between, I won't deny it."

"——Everyone is working hard for Rhodes Island and the future of Terra."

Kal'tsit said this, suppressing the throbbing in her heart. After taking another deep breath, she said to Warfarin beside her:

"Don't tell anyone about this, including Chen Qi."

"Doesn't he know?" Huafalin couldn't help but feel a little strange, but Kal'tsit shook her head and said softly:

"He may have guessed it, but he didn't know me, and he wasn't even excited when he saw me."

"…Then maybe what happens in the future won't be so good for him."

Kal'tsit said this and walked out slowly. Huafalin immediately followed and asked Kal'tsit, "So what are you going to do next?"

"...How far are we from Longmen?"

"About three days." Huafalin said. Kal'tsit nodded, but then fell silent.

She remembered what Amiya told her at that time, that Chen Qi addressed the woman named Tallulah from the Integration Movement as Aunt.

"...It seems that his life experience may be much more complicated than we imagined." Kal'tsit murmured to herself and slowly walked towards Chen Qi's laboratory.

Chapter 26: Kal'tsit and the Doctor

Kal'tsit and Warfarin came all the way to Chen Qi's laboratory. This was the laboratory that Kal'tsit gave to Chen Qi specifically to use for the research and development of some secret technologies that were beyond this era.

Kal'tsit didn't really want Chen Qi's technology to be made public or put into war on a large scale. On the one hand, the scale was too large and Rhodes Island's armaments could not afford it. On the other hand, it was easy for accidents to occur if future technology was put into current battles, and it was unclear what impact it would have on the future.

Fortunately, Chen Qi is currently busy with the future shuttle array, and has no idea about technology research and development. In addition, Rhodes Island's consumption cannot support large-scale production.

If Chen Qi's idea is to be implemented, the size of Rhodes Island must at least be doubled, otherwise it will all be empty talk.

However, when they arrived at Chen Qi's laboratory, Kal'tsit and Warfarin saw an unexpected figure.

I saw a figure wearing an extremely tight black coat, with his entire head covered by a protective helmet, wandering in front of the door of the laboratory. He seemed to want to go in, but was also a little conflicted about whether to go in or not.

"……PhD?"

"Ok?"

The man in the black coat turned around after hearing this and discovered the figures of Warfarin and Kal'tsit. He almost subconsciously took a few steps back.

"...You don't have to be so afraid of us." Kal'tsit couldn't help but frowned upon seeing this, but her words didn't seem as cold as before.

The doctor obviously noticed this, and while he felt it was a bit strange, he relaxed his vigilance a little.

He still remembered the cold attitude of Kal'tsit towards him when he just woke up and saw her a few hours ago. How come her attitude changed again a few hours later?

However, the doctor did not point this out. After a moment of silence, he said:

"I was just about to look for you, and I heard some noise here, so I was wondering whether I should go in."

"...If I hadn't been sure that you had lost your memory, I wouldn't have believed a single word of your story."

Kal'tsit responded calmly after hearing this. If the man in front of her had not seemed to have forgotten everything after waking up, Kal'tsit would never have let this guy get close to the laboratory.

After all, based on this guy's previous temper, if he knew Chen Qi's identity, he would definitely have some devilish ideas that he wanted to implement.

"Then I'll take my leave first~"

At this time, Warfarin, the only one who knew everything besides Kal'tsit, quietly announced her departure. She didn't want to stay in this place and watch these two veteran guys show off.

...Well, if you want to see the flash, it will probably take some time. For example -

With a mysterious smile, Warfarin slowly left, leaving only Kal'tsit and the Doctor at the scene.

"...Let's go in." Kal'tsit said lightly, and the Doctor nodded. Obviously, with Kal'tsit's presence, he seemed much more confident.

As the sensor door opened, the next moment, before Kal'tsit and the Doctor could enter, a figure rushed out.

"...Kal'tsit?" Kal'tsit looked at the back of Kal'tsit who was running away and couldn't help feeling a little strange. She turned her head to look at Chen Qi and found that he was tidying up his clothes and getting up from the ground.

For a moment, the whole scene was silent. Kal'tsit's eyes turned cold as she looked at Chen Qi, but the doctor, through a protective mask, gave Chen Qi an expression of surprise and approval.

That look clearly said: Great job, young man!

"…Although I am not against free love within Rhodes Island, aren't you a little too strong and eager?"

"What are you talking about? Who would be horny for a woman who drinks motor oil?" Chen Qi rolled his eyes and answered very naturally. Obviously, this was not the first time he was misunderstood like this.

However, Chen Qi's answer inadvertently reminded Kal'tsit of something, and her expression softened a little.

It looked like Korlucel had made it to that time just fine... along with Warfarin.

"I think you have met this person." Kal'tsit pointed at the doctor and kept watching Chen Qi's reaction.

However, contrary to Kal'tsit's expectations, Chen Qi's reaction seemed to have not changed. Although he was not treating him as a stranger, there was still a sense of distance... very cold.

Chen Qi’s reaction also made Kal’tsit feel a little nervous.

An extremely bad premonition emerged in her heart.

Why…what happened in the future?

"...Doctor." Chen Qi looked at the man in front of him whose true face he had already seen, and nodded at him lightly.

At this time, the doctor also reacted and couldn't help but take a few steps towards Chen Qi, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"…It's strange. This is the first time we meet, but I feel very familiar with you."

"I won't reveal too much about the future." Chen Qi shook his head, as if he didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long.

"That's right." Kal'tsit rarely responded immediately, but the Doctor next to him seemed to sense something strange.

This woman...seems to be trying to hide something?

"So, Chen Qi, how far is the work going now?"

"Thanks to your inventory, I have constructed the preliminary link in one day." Chen Qi regained his seriousness after hearing this, and came to the side of the teleportation array and said:

"The five Originiums are activated once, and the link we build, as long as it is stabilized a little bit, we can build a transmission belt across time and space."

“…It’s really unimaginable.”

Kal'tsit looked at this ordinary teleportation array. Even she found it hard to imagine that such a small teleportation array could teleport beings from across time and space to this era.

Such a feat... If it were anyone else, Kal'tsit would just think it was nonsense.

"...How did you do it? This teleportation array is just a link. How did you conceive the coordinates of coming to this time and space on the other side and build the teleportation bridge?"

"You don't want to know." Chen Qi shook his head lightly when he heard this. In order to realize this idea, the future Rhodes Island had invested countless funds and resources, and spent countless hours.

In fact, this concept had been proposed before Chen Qi took over Rhodes Island, and had been implemented for nearly ten years.

This has been the long-cherished wish of nearly two generations, and it was only with Chen Qi that it was truly realized.

"It will take a little more work to adjust it, and it will probably be done tomorrow."

Chen Qi said this and stretched, looking very tired, but he was used to it.

Kal'tsit saw Chen Qi's tired look. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held it back.

"Oh, about Aunt Lyudmila."

"...You still know Lyudmila?" Kal'tsit asked Chen Qi with some surprise.

Lyudmila was the name of the Regicide. After being thrown down by Chen Qi in Chernobog, the Regicide was captured by Rhodes Island and remained in a coma.

But Chen Qi didn't forget Lyudmila. After all, she was a senior operator of Rhodes Island and she also took good care of him. Chen Qi didn't want Kal'tsit and the others to make things difficult for Aunt Lyudmila.

"How much do you know about Lyudmila?"

"If it's about the past, I'm sorry, but Rhodes Island has no data on it. Apparently, you deleted it on purpose."

Chen Qi responded calmly, and under Kal'tsit's somewhat unnatural expression, he continued: "If it is in the future, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"After I accepted Rhodes Island, Aunt Lyudmila came back and became one of Rhodes Island's senior operators, in charge of the intelligence department."

“…Is that so?”

When Kal'tsit heard this, her expression was hard to tell whether it was good or bad.

It was only after Chen Qi took over that he returned to Rhodes Island, which means... Lyudmila may know what happened in the past, but she has not fully understood it.

It was not until she died and Chen Qi took over Rhodes Island that she chose to come back.

...That's fine. Kal'tsit thought, this way, she could give an explanation to her dead student.

"If you want to see her, go to room 22." Kal'tsit said calmly, "I'll let Hong go with you to protect your safety."

"……red?"

However, the moment she heard the name, Kal'tsit noticed that Chen Qi's expression changed drastically, unexpectedly.

There was a slight tremor and wavering in those eyes... as if they were expecting something.

Chapter 27: Hong and Chen Qi's Past (Please vote)

"Shh."

In the shadows, a red figure appeared as Kal'tsit finished speaking, and appeared silently behind Kal'tsit.

"Red, we're here."

"!" The doctor on the side suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him. He was so scared that he almost jumped out.

Behind him, a girl in a red coat appeared. The girl had a very cold expression, as if she was indifferent to everything. Although she didn't look very old, she had an extremely strange...wildness.

But there was such a beautiful girl, but from beginning to end, almost no one knew when she sneaked in. I'm afraid that even Kal'tsit, who was Red's protector, didn't know this.

Hong is not a general Rhodes Island operator. She is proficient in techniques that many people in Rhodes Island cannot understand, but cannot guard against - stealth and assassination.

Because of this, Red has always been a loner. Many Rhodes Island operators feel that Red is very strange, as if if they are not careful, Red will silently kill them the next moment - in fact, Red can do it.

It can be said that if Red really wants to go on a killing spree in Rhodes Island, perhaps... as long as there is enough planning, and Red herself does not make any major mistakes, perhaps no one can stop her.

This is one of the top combat forces of Rhodes Island in a sense. Kal'tsit rarely activates Red unless it is absolutely necessary. Red's danger does not lie in its destructive power, but in its devilish stealth and assassination skills.

This is a kind of talent, a talent that is unique to this girl with a missing resume, unknown identity, and even mental disability.

However, the moment Chen Qi saw Hong, his eyes never moved away.

"..."Hong seemed to have noticed Chen Qi's gaze and turned her head slightly to look over. She didn't like being stared at, but at this moment, she didn't react at all.

Because when Chen Qi looked at her, there was not a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, and he didn't even have the fear and dread that other operators had when they saw her.

It's like... I've known her for a long, long time.

This familiar feeling made Hong feel strange and a little baffled, because she had never seen Chen Qi before.

"red?"

Chen Qi chuckled and called out Hong's name, then slowly walked forward and stretched out his hand.

"——Wait." Kal'tsit seemed frightened by Chen Qi's actions and immediately wanted to stop him.

However, Chen Qi's actions did not stop at all because of Kal'tsit's scolding, and his palm still slowly approached Hong's head.

"——Shua!"

"Tear!"

A residual image flashed by, and the next moment, there was a sound of breaking air. Chen Qi's palm, which was about to touch Hong, was suddenly cut, and a clear cut appeared on Chen Qi's palm.

That's red.

"Chen Qi!" The Doctor was startled, and Kal'tsit subconsciously bit her lower lip because she had already expected such a result.

Although Hong is mentally handicapped, she has a very strong sense of self-protection. She has a natural resistance to the sense of crisis, just like a wild beast, and does not allow anyone to approach and infringe on her "sovereignty."

Currently, only Kal'tsit has overcome this. This is because Kal'tsit is the reason why Red can live in Rhodes Island. If it were someone else, even if you have a close relationship with Red, you would never get close to her.

Hong is very sensitive and fragile, just like a child, and lacks a sense of security.

However, Chen Qi was cut by Hong, and everyone thought he would stop, but he didn't.

He stubbornly stretched out his hand towards Hong again, and this time, he actually touched Hong's head.

That silver hair, that familiar touch, the moment he touched all of this, Chen Qi's eyes actually became a little moist.

This time, Hong did not resist. She held the dagger that still had a trace of blood on it, and felt the gentle touch on her head with a dazed expression. After a long while, she showed a somewhat comfortable expression.
