We are from the future ark

"..."

However, when Chen arrived at the scene, he fell into silence after seeing Chen Qi and Skadi in front of him.

"…Sorry, Sir Chen, you are a little late."

Chen Qi covered his shoulder that was stabbed by the dagger, and said to Chen calmly:

"As you can see, Skadi and I found the perpetrators first, but we were ambushed and let them slip away."

"…We'll talk about this later."

Chen noticed Chen Qi's expression, which was very calm, not even like someone who had just been injured. However, she did not dwell on this issue too much, as she was more concerned about another issue.

"…You guys surround this place first."

Chen did not question Chen Qi immediately, but first evacuated the police officers from the Guard Bureau who came with her, asked them to evacuate the crowd and cordon off the area just in case.

Soon, all the members of the Guard Bureau did as Chen said, left here, and surrounded the area within a hundred meters with this place as the center, as the exploration site for later use.

At this moment, Chen finally asked the question he had wanted to ask from the beginning.

"...Why do you have this [Red Sky]?"

Chen took a few steps forward, but her beautiful eyes did not show any softness at all. She looked eagerly, as if she was interrogating a prisoner.

Officer Chen is beautiful, but she is very strict. At least, there is no one who can see her soft side.

Especially in such an important matter, Chen is very clear about the seriousness of the problem.

[Chi Xiao] was not Chen's own sword, but came from Wei Yanwu. Wei Yanwu gave this weapon he used to use to Chen. Chen heard Wei Yanwu talk about the legend of [Chi Xiao] and heard a little about his former bravery and strength.

However, Chen was not able to master [Chi Xiao] very well. Chen's [Chi Xiao] was not even unsheathed. With Chen's current state, he could only barely [draw the sword], and could not perfectly control [Chi Xiao].

But at this moment, the guy in front of him who came from Rhodes Island and claimed to be a guard actually had a sword exactly the same as [Chi Xiao]. This was enough to make Chen worried.

What's more, Chen could see that Chen Qi's Chi Xiao had obviously mastered the [Chi Xiao] in the [unsheathed] state perfectly!

In other words, Chen Qi's mastery of [Chi Xiao] is even better than hers!

This is totally irrational. How old is Chen Qi? Even if Chen only got Chi Xiao a few years ago, it is impossible for her to lose to someone a few years younger than her in mastering Chi Xiao.

"Don't try to deny anything. I have been holding Chi Xiao for a long time. No one knows Chi Xiao's feelings better than me."

As soon as Chen Qi opened her mouth, she blocked Chen Qi's retreat. She seemed to be very eager to know the answer. She vaguely felt that Chen Qi was the "culprit" who had caused her to be uneasy for a long time.

"I don't want to ask too much about the second Chixiao or something. The world is so big, even if there are two identical weapons, I can accept it."

With such a plausible excuse, Chen, who was eager to solve the mystery, finally asked his final question at this moment:

"Where did your Chi Xiao come from? And why is your mastery of Chi Xiao better than mine?"

"Chi Xiao will not be driven by an existence he cannot recognize."

Chen had acquired Chixiao for some time, but he could only draw the sword with great difficulty. However, Chen's talent alone surprised Wei Yanwu. Wei Yanwu said frankly that it took him a full year longer than Chen to reach Chen's level.

Although Chen showed no reaction on the surface, she was still very complacent in her heart. Her talent was truly genius, the most talented one Wei Yanwu had ever seen.

And Chen Qi, the man who suddenly appeared from Rhodes Island and possessed a second [Chi Xiao], had already mastered Chi Xiao so perfectly at a younger age than her.

This was not only a blow to Chen's confidence. To be honest, Chen didn't care about such a small matter at all.

She cared more about Chen Qi's identity.

Even if Chen Qi was a genius, to master Chi Xiao so pure and passionately, he would have to be at least half the age of Wei Yanwu. Chen Qi was so young and yet he was able to do so well, which could explain a lot.

——This Chixiao sword might have been in his hands when he was very young.

"Who are you?"

"Do you want to hold a public trial here, Sir Chen?"

Chen Qi's expression was still so indifferent. He tried his best to control his emotions and not to confuse the woman in front of him with the one he had met in that time and space.

She no longer needs to bear these responsibilities that do not belong to her.

Since she chose Longmen in the first place, there is no need to add more scars to her.

"…I'm sorry, I'm very tired. I'm also injured and need to go back to Rhodes Island for treatment."

Chen Qi said this, and with the support of Skadi, he slowly passed by Chen.

And at this moment, for some reason, Chen Qi's attitude of not wanting to talk to her more made Chen, who was already in a very anxious mood, completely explode!

"--stop!"

"Crack!"

A gust of wind flashed by, and the next moment, the two Chixiao swords, which were almost identical except for the color of the swords, intertwined.

Chen's pupils couldn't stop trembling. The moment she saw Chen Qi holding Chi Xiao towards her, for some reason, her heart ached.

It shouldn't be like this...

He shouldn't... point the sword at me...

What on earth did I do wrong?

In Chen's mind, there was a constant voice questioning him. It was not questioning the other person, but questioning itself.

For some reason, even though the swords were pointed at each other, Chen did not blame the person in front of him, but questioned whether he had done something wrong. This was the first time Chen had experienced such a thing in his more than 20 years of life.

"...Please don't push me, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qi slowly put down his Chi Xiao. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and not vent all his emotions here.

Not only did he not have the reason, he didn't even have the qualifications to get angry at Chen.

All of this was just pressure he had arbitrarily added to Chen. He had no right to question why the other party had not fulfilled all of this.

Chen Qi thought very thoroughly, however, no matter how thoroughly he thought, his inner emotions seemed to make it difficult to do so.

"...We need to bring this Reunion operator back to Rhodes Island for interrogation. By the way, we also need to bring this child and the other two unconscious Lungmen civilians back for further investigation."

"...I will report this matter to Commander Wei." Chen Ye put down his Chi Xiao and said in a somewhat gloomy tone.

"casual."

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he left without looking back. Meanwhile, Skadi, who was standing by, picked up two unconscious people, Huai Hu and Jie, with one hand.

On the other side, Misha, who had been silent all the time, also carried the unconscious Broken Bones on her back and followed Skadi.

Chen just watched silently as all of them slowly left, doing nothing.

"Old Chen."

On the other side, Xing Xiong, who was holding Prajna, found this place at some point. She was obviously relieved when she saw Chen's back, and immediately stepped forward and said:

"Old Chen, I'm so worried. I'm really afraid that something might happen to you—"

However, as Xingxiong was speaking, the next second, after seeing Chen's face, she was stunned.

All I saw were two lines of crystal clear tears extending all the way down the cheeks, one drop after another, slowly dripping onto the broken ground of the slums.

"Old Chen..."

"Xingxiong." Chen's voice was not choked, but tears were dripping uncontrollably.

Chen was not sad, but her heart seemed to feel the hurt earlier than her body.

What...had she forgotten?

Chapter 83: Xingxiong's Question

"...That's good."

In the medical department of Rhodes Island, after Kal'tsit had disinfected and prevented infection on Chen Qi's shoulder and bandaged it, she spoke lightly.

"It's better than I thought. Although the puncture was deep, it didn't injure the aorta, otherwise it would be troublesome later."

"Thank you."

Chen Qi first thanked him subconsciously, then he looked in the mirror at the bandage that bound his entire shoulder, and paused.

“…Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?”

"Rhodes Island is not so poor that it has to scrimp and save even for gauze." Kal'tsit said calmly, but her brows furrowed subconsciously, and she continued:

"Next time, don't personally participate in this kind of operation. You have clearly asked Hong to come back to deliver the message and have made plans. As a commander, why do you still want to put yourself in danger?"

"But I'm not a commander now. I'm just an ordinary medical operator, right?" Chen Qi retorted with a smirk on his face, leaving Kal'tsit speechless for a moment.

After all, Kal'tsit personally approved Chen Qi's position as a medical operator. Chen Qi is not currently in a command position at Rhodes Island, and Rhodes Island has no explicit regulations that medical operators cannot fight on the front line.

However, most of Rhodes Island's medical operators are not frontline field doctors, so they also have to consider the capabilities of these medical operators. After all, although they are a pharmaceutical company, good medical operators are still scarce.

"…Rhodes Island has not yet reached the point where it needs to send medical operators to fight on the front lines."

In the end, she had no choice but to find a similar reason. Kal'tsit herself felt that her reason was a bit far-fetched, but she still insisted:

"I can let Hong follow you all the time. If you need anything, just let Hong do it."

"But I hope she can always be by your side." Chen Qi paused for a moment and replied in a serious tone:

"Her presence is very important to us all."

"..."

Kal'tsit opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she held it back.

You are also very important to me - Kal'tsit was unable to say this. Perhaps because she had been in a high position for a long time, or because she had witnessed too much, Kal'tsit had become very bad at speaking her mind frankly.

"… Rhodes Island still needs you." In the end, Kal'tsit just uttered these words in a depressed tone.

"Tell me, come to think of it, do you know any details about this integration movement's actions?" Kal'tsit seemed a little embarrassed and changed the subject. She was still not very good at expressing herself in this regard.

"It's actually the mission we've been trying to stop." Chen Qi didn't dwell on it too much. In fact, Kal'tsit was embarrassed, and so was he. He just pretended to be indifferent. If we talk about embarrassment, Chen Qi was more embarrassed than Kal'tsit.

At this moment, he was actually the one who wanted to change the subject the most.

"Chernobog's integration movement is almost at the end of its rope. Therefore, even though they were hit hard by us, they still fought back desperately. They came to Longmen just to steal supplies."

"…As for that Bonebreaker, he is actually one of the reasons for this Reunion Movement's actions."

As Chen Qi said this, he thought of Broken Bones, who had been captured by them and was now locked up in the confinement room, and he slowly said:

"The other Ursus girl I brought with me is his sister, Misha."

"I see." Kal'tsit also understood the cause and effect, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked with a frown:

"Then there shouldn't be only one team of people. This kind of mission requires at least two teams of people."

"...You let the other team escape?"

Kal'tsit had obviously guessed all of this, and Chen Qi did not deny it. He nodded and said:

"It's Aunt Lyudmila, but this is the last time I'll let her go."

"...Can you do it?" Kal'tsit was a little skeptical. She had only met the King Slayer once, and because of her father, he would hold back on her. Therefore, she was naturally a little skeptical about the words of Chen Qi, who was very familiar with the future King Slayer.

However, Chen Qi did not respond.

"You don't need to force yourself." Kal'tsit also pointed out the truth in one word, and said lightly:

"If you can't do something, there will naturally be someone who can do it for you, or you don't need to do it at all."

"You are no longer alone. We are all your helpers."

"……Thanks."

After hearing this, Chen Qi simply said thank you after a moment of silence. However, Kal'tsit had no idea how much he had heard.

This child... who did she inherit this weird personality from? Kal'tsit was a little helpless.

Just when everything in the infirmary had returned to calm, the sensor door suddenly opened, and a member of Rhodes Island walked in and said to Kal'tsit:

"Dr. Kelsey, there's a small problem."

"What's the matter?" Kal'tsit frowned. Generally speaking, if someone bypassed Amiya and came directly to her, it meant that it was not a small problem.

"...The police officers from Longmen are here again." The Rhodes Island member looked at Chen Qi who was quietly putting on his clothes. After a moment of silence, he continued:

"It was Officer Xingxiong, and she specifically asked for Mr. Chen Qi."

"…Looking for Chen Qi?"
