We are from the future ark

It has been almost half a month, and I don’t know how Rhodes Island is doing now. I hope that during these days when this guy “died”, Rhodes Island has not disintegrated because of losing him.

"...But think about it, right? Rhodes Island was running well even without this guy. How could it collapse just because he's gone?"

Nian thought so and made judgments based on her rich experience. After all, her history was longer than that of Yan State. She had witnessed too many dynasties to count.

Although Nian did not dare to say that she was proficient in the ways of emperors throughout history, she knew one thing - if a force could only be maintained by one person, then this force would not be far from collapse.

To maintain a force or a country, it requires the collective efforts of more people. When power reaches its extreme and turns into pathological control and the selfish interests of those in power, it is only a matter of time before this force collapses.

At least, judging from the year, Rhodes Island has not reached this point yet.

"In that case, let's go to Rhodes Island slowly. Your biological mother is still there. I will return you to her right away..."

"..."

Suddenly, the voice of Nian's words became smaller and smaller, until it almost disappeared.

Nian felt a slight force coming from the corner of the clothes he had just put on. It was not strong, and he would be freed if he struggled free.

But just this gentle grab made Nian's movements slowly stop.

She turned her head slightly and met the young man's empty eyes. However, the moment she met those lifeless eyes, her heart was unconsciously touched.

"...Don't look at me like that. You're making me feel guilty."

Nian bit her lower lip slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable in her heart. She slowly broke free from Chen Qi's hand, but didn't know what to do.

This kid… originally, although he didn’t have many expressions, he was still quite intelligent. But now, he is like a vegetable, without even a single expression. Seeing this, Nian feels really bad.

"Alas..." Nian sighed slowly, looked at Chen Qi's empty eyes, and muttered to himself:

"You are such a miserable kid. You have never had parents to love you since you were little. Just like me, you have never seen what your parents look like."

"Although our races cannot be compared, we are still connected by the same fate?"

Nian murmured to himself, and unconsciously touched Chen Qi's labelless cheek. After a moment of hesitation, he finally sighed slowly.

"…Forget it, I'm done for. You're really a troublemaker."

"It's not good for me to hand you over like this. When did the [weapon] I made over the years become defective? Isn't this destroying my reputation? I can't do this."

"I will help you fill up your soul. Although it will definitely not be the same as before, it will at least be complete. I would not want to ruin someone's son and then return him to your parents."

Finally, he chose an excuse that was a little more plausible. He muttered to himself, and then looked at Chen Qi who had little reaction, and felt troubled again.

"… So, you don't need me to take care of you when you poop or pee, right?"

Inside the cave, Nian's rather embarrassed voice slowly came out. How much helplessness was revealed in it, perhaps only she herself knew...

Chapter 117: Chen Qi's true life story revealed (first update today)

Time passed and several days had passed on Rhodes Island in Lungmen. At this moment, the interior of Rhodes Island seemed to have become a little more peaceful than a week ago.

Although many people have not yet freed themselves from panic, sadness and anxiety, everyone has gradually come to understand that the dead cannot be resurrected and it is useless to remain immersed in sadness, so they need to cheer up.

The future is still a long way off, and now is not the time for them to feel sorry for themselves.

People gradually broke free from their sadness and turned their grief into motivation. All the people in Rhode Island also began to tacitly agree not to mention anything about the name "Chen Qi" anymore.

Everyone is selectively forgetting, putting the memory of this young man in a corner and keeping silent, trying to forget their uneasiness and anxiety in this way.

It was as if he had never existed. Even the top leaders and elites of Rhodes Island seemed to think so.

Slowly, Rhodes Island returned to normal. Although the panic in the past two weeks had left Rhodes Island semi-paralyzed, they finally recovered from this confusion.

Rhodes Island is still running, and many of the accumulated issues should finally be truly resolved.

On this day, in the reception room, Kal'tsit met a "distinguished guest" whom she should have met a long time ago.

"… Your Highness Vina, are you used to living in Rhodes Island these days?"

"There is no need to be so restrained. I am no longer Your Highness."

Vina and Kal'tsit had a meeting in the reception room. In fact, Kal'tsit should have met the Crown Prince of Victoria a long time ago, but she was too busy these days and even had a serious illness. Now that Rhodes Island is back on track, she is feeling a little better.

Vina has been in Rhodes Island for two weeks. During this period, Kal'tsit has not been able to entertain her. Now she finally has time to meet Vina.

"Your Highness Vina, as a representative of the cooperation between the Victorian Royal Family and Rhodes Island, I have always had a question."

"...What exactly made you give up your identity as Crown Prince Victoria and choose to stand with us, Rhodes Island?"

"And some time ago, I heard from the doctor that you seemed to have been applying to join the Noah team. If it's convenient, can you tell me the reason?"

"…No reason, just my apology."

After a slight pause, Vina said to Kal'tsit calmly, "I want to complete what Chen Qi has not completed. He saved me, so I naturally have to give him a life."

"…No apologies, this was his choice."

When mentioning Chen Qi, Kal'tsit paused for a moment, then spoke calmly without any disturbance:

"Since he has made this choice, the facts have already been established. I will not say anything more about his choice."

"I will carry his share along with me, just as I carry the other's share."

"...Hearing you say that, I think Chen Qi should be relieved."

After a slight pause, Vina nodded. She and Kal'tsit were familiar with each other, although it was only in her memory. Kal'tsit didn't know that Vina had memories of the future.

But in Vina's impression, Kal'tsit in front of her had obviously gained some extra qualities that she had not noticed at first... She had become more resolute, more decisive, and more tenacious.

Chen Qi's death did not completely crush her. In her grief and anger, she underwent another transformation.

What Vina didn't know was that it wasn't just Kal'tsit, but also the Doctor, Amiya, many people in Noah's team... and even half of the people in Rhodes Island, who had undergone a complete transformation because of Chen Qi's death.

"...I have been urging them to excavate the ruins for some time, but there is still no news." Vina said to Kal'tsit calmly:

"It's slow going, and it's difficult to screen and identify, but I'll try my best."

"...Why are you so obsessed with his body?" Kal'tsit's expression didn't change, but she seemed to have noticed something and asked calmly, "As far as I know, more than half a month has passed. If it was just a simple excavation, you should have finished it long ago."

"…Don't tell me that Chen Qi didn't say anything to you."

However, Kal'tsit's doubts made Vina slightly stunned. She asked subconsciously, but then she felt a little helpless when she met Kal'tsit's calm eyes.

"It seems...you really don't know anything."

"Have you never been curious about Chen Qi's life experience and the mystery surrounding him?"

"...He never talks about these things with us." Kal'tsit replied calmly after a moment of silence: "Every time I want to find out the truth, he always guards against it and keeps his mouth shut."

"...Maybe he doesn't tell us this because he doesn't trust us yet."

Speaking of this, Kal'tsit was also quite sad. Chen Qi never told them these things, but now he has lost such an opportunity. For Kal'tsit, this is probably a hurdle that she will never be able to overcome in this lifetime.

As Chen Qi's biological mother, she didn't even get the trust of her child until the end of his life... Kal'tsit really felt quite frustrated.

Vina also sensed Kal'tsit's sadness. After a moment of silence, she said helplessly:

"Although I don't know much about this matter, I can still tell you something."

"Actually... you should be able to guess a little bit from Chen Qi's race, right? He——"

"boom--!"

However, before Vina's voice fell, there was a sudden loud noise from the sensor door, and soon, a figure was seen slowly entering.

"——He is an artificial baby that was created by you extracting and combining DNA from multiple people, mainly your DNA and the doctor's DNA, and extracting and adding several other element genes. He was grown in a cultured embryo in the laboratory."

"So, his race is a fusion of the excellent genes of multiple races. During the breeding process, it was cultivated according to the same principles as in the plan to create the Chimera."

"…Ifrit?"

Kal'tsit and Vina looked at Ifrit who suddenly broke in. After looking at each other in confusion, Kal'tsit actually found it a little difficult to face Ifrit at this moment.

Since Ifrit said so, it was obvious that the organizers of this matter were undoubtedly her and the Doctor.

Working together to complete a short-lived [Chimera]... This is a very selfish thing to do, and from a medical point of view, it is very unreasonable, even to the point of violating taboos.

Artificially cultivating life... This is a forbidden zone. Even if technology can achieve it, as doctors, they are forbidden to do such irresponsible behavior towards life.

The technology of artificial life forms is still imperfect, and the life forms created are almost all short-lived. Those with bad luck will die at birth, and those with better luck will not live more than ten years.

The way to prolong this life is, as Ifrit said, to create a Chimera that is a combination of many races. In this way, if nothing unexpected happens, the lifespan of the artificial life form can be extended to 20 years, or even more than 30 years.

However, the creation of [Chimera] is still a taboo. Almost every [Chimera] has terrifying Originium skills. After combining the talents of so many races, their Originium skills are the most terrifying of all.

Coincidentally, Rhodes Island has the methods to create Chimaera and even the range of Originium skills to control Chimaera with a high probability.

However, Ifrit had not finished speaking yet. At this moment, she seemed to have no worries and told Chen Qi almost everything that she had concealed.

"...Chen Qi, it was you who created the artificial life form when Rhodes Island was in crisis because you were worried that the achievements of Rhodes Island could not be successfully preserved."

"However, during this process, you discovered that Chen Qi's Originium skills did not develop in the direction you imagined. The originally planned high probability of [Emotion Absorption] has undergone some kind of mutation and has become Chen Qi's current [Emotion Infection]."

"…In a sense, [Emotional Infection] is a lower-level Originium skill than [Emotional Absorption], but Chen Qi's [Emotional Infection] is somewhat special. He can absorb other people's memories and save them in his brain, and preserve them forever."

"But - Chen Qi at that time was not strong enough to support such a huge amount of emotional memory, which caused his life to be on the verge of extinction. In order to prevent the hope you had entrusted with so much hard work from going to waste, you made a temporary decision."

"——You implanted an artificial chip in his brain at that time, which replaced part of his brain's work and was responsible for replacing Chen Qi's brain to store memories related to emotion absorption, allowing his brain to temporarily absorb more emotions——until he can master the ability of his own Originium skills."

"And that chip also contains what you call all of Rhodes Island's research results, including the prototype of the potion that you created at the time to cure Originium disease."

Ifrit's words revealed everything that Chen Qi had concealed. Kal'tsit's eyes trembled more and more as Ifrit spoke, as if she had heard the most mysterious secret of the world.

Chen Qi's life experience, which he had never talked about, was finally revealed at this moment, and Ifrit and his companions' coldness towards the Doctor and Kal'tsit in a certain sense almost arose from this.

"However, Chen Qi didn't even tell me that in addition to the prototype of the Originium disease potion and a large amount of memory data, there is something else in his brain chip."

"In Chen Qi's brain chip, there is the secret that you discovered back then, the so-called secret that turned the entire continent upside down. This is the most critical part in recovering Chen Qi's body."

Chapter 118: The Strangeness in Ifrit's Body (Part )

"Inside the chip...is there a secret that can turn the entire continent upside down?"

Kal'tsit murmured the words that Ifrit had just said, and it took a long time for her to recover from her shock.

Kal'tsit got a lot of information from Ifrit's words. Not only Chen Qi's life experience, but also the end of Rhodes Island in the future, and... During their exploration, they seemed to have discovered some important secrets, which led to Rhodes Island falling into danger.

What did they discover? What could be called a secret that could turn the Terra continent upside down? And what kind of secret could make the tiny Rhodes Island be targeted by various countries, isolated and helpless to the point where it could only leave everything to fate?

Kal'tsit didn't know the mystery, and even Ifrit, the person Chen Qi trusted and valued the most, didn't know the secret. It was obvious that even Chen Qi didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of the secret.

This is a real threat - a threat that is enough to shake the continent of Terra.

"Chen Qi is already dead...but the chip in his brain must not fall into the hands of others."

Ifrit said this in a terrifyingly indifferent tone, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He said coldly:

"We must find his chip. Finding Chen Qi's body is only the first step. We have to find the chip in his brain."

"If this chip falls into the hands of someone else... I'm afraid that many very dangerous things will happen afterwards."

"...I have been looking for Chen Qi's body." Vina said calmly, "As soon as there is any news, I will be notified immediately. I will also ask the royal family to search the ruins area. Any suspicious items will be strictly guarded."

“Please…” Ifrit nodded, and after a slight pause, he continued, “Chen Qi’s things…should not fall into the hands of others.”

"If possible, please bring me the body... I want to take his body back to Rhodes Island."

"…I'll do my best."

After a period of silence, Vina nodded solemnly. The progress of the excavation and investigation was very slow. Vina received news from Victoria that there was still no progress. She was very anxious, especially after hearing Ifrit's statement, she became even more anxious.

This chip... is really too important. It is so important that if someone knows of its existence, they will find out about it at all costs. If the people here were not trustworthy, I am afraid Ifrit would not have said this.

This is the real secret! A secret worth everyone's risk!

"...I will go back to Victoria and personally supervise the search there." Vina said this, then slowly stood up and walked towards the outside, without any time to lose.

Just as Ifrit was about to follow him out, Kal'tsit called out to her from behind.

"...Can we talk, Ifrit?"

"..." Ifrit paused as she was about to leave. In silence, she sat down slowly without saying anything, facing Kal'tsit's gaze, and asked calmly:

"Anything you want to ask?"

"There are many things I want to ask, but I don't know where to start..." Kal'tsit's expression was unusually embarrassed. She met Ifrit's gaze for a long time before she asked tentatively.
