We are from the future ark

"...Chen Qi, what do you know?"

At this moment, Kal'tsit appeared in time to smooth things over, and looked at Chen Qi intently with a pair of inquiring eyes.

However, Chen Qi said slowly after a moment of silence:

"Originally, I didn't want to say this, but now that things have come to this, I can't hide it anymore."

"——Then let me tell you something about the future."

"Regarding that future, the success of Rhine Life - the birth of the Flame Demon."

Chapter 104: The truth about the Flame Demon Project, a warning from the future

"The birth of the Fire Demon?"

However, when Chen Qi said this, the people present had different expressions. Kal'tsit, the Doctor, and Amiya, who knew Chen Qi's identity, were all stunned, while Saria and Hemer, on the other hand, looked confused.

Can't hide it? The matter of the Fire Demon? Are you talking about Ifrit?

You know, Ifrit was raised by Saria and Hemer. Because she lived in the laboratory for a long time, Ifrit's body was catalyzed and her mind was not sound, with the thinking of a 6-10 year old child. It was very easy for them to control her temper.

What was there about Ifrit that Hemer and Saria didn't know? They even knew exactly what color underwear Ifrit liked. Was there anything about Ifrit that they didn't know but this stranger knew?

But, despite this, Saria still let go of Chen Qi. She calmed down again and said calmly:

"I apologize for my rude behavior, but please be clear."

"What exactly is the so-called thing we don't know?"

"Is there something else about Ifrit that we don't know?"

This matter was about Ifrit, so it was no small matter for Saria. Even though Chen Qi's words were a little unreasonable or groundless, Saria was still willing to give Chen Qi some time to explain himself.

After Chen Qi patted the wrinkles on his collar, he slowly said to Saria:

"Project Flame Demon... No, it wasn't called that at first."

"In essence, it is to change the physique of the experimental subject so that it can adapt to the Originium disease. His starting point is actually to create a being with antibodies to Originium disease, so as to produce serum and cure the Originium disease on the Terra continent."

"——However, this happened a long time ago. Rhine Life's plan had completely changed when the consciousness of the powerful Originium technique, Flame Demon, emerged from Ifrit's body."

"The powerful ability of the Fire Demon has allowed the people of Rhine Life to see the prospects of future wars. They hope to find a way to create a large number of war-type lethal weapons while being able to control the Fire Demon."

"So, the original plan to cure Originium disease was renamed the 'Flame Demon Project'. Ifrit is the only experimental subject that meets the requirements of this plan."

"What?!" X2

However, when Chen Qi said this, Saria and Hemer both exclaimed in surprise. Even Kal'tsit, who knew a little about the inside story, was shocked by Chen Qi's words.

The Fire Demon Project. From the beginning of this project, Saria and Hemer entered Rhine Life and were responsible for many projects of this project. However, at the beginning, they only knew to cultivate Ifrit's adaptability to Originium and control the Fire Demon. But they knew nothing about the fact that the Fire Demon Project was actually a war weapon project!

They have always believed that they worked so diligently for the purpose of curing the Originium disease on the Terra continent!

For this ideal, they, White-Faced Owl, and Mel's family joined Rhine Life. They were all full of passion at the beginning and believed that they could save the people of Terra.

But I didn't expect that all of this was done to help with the planning of such a weapon of war?!

"The main reason why Columbia invested so heavily in Rhine Life is because their top management knew that the essence of this plan was to manufacture weapons of war."

Chen Qi continued calmly, "The top management of Rhine Life kept this plan a secret and even cleared out the first batch of employees. For this purpose, they concealed the truth about the Flame Demon Project and continuously recruited talents from all walks of life to work for them."

"I did feel something was wrong at first... that's why I quit Rhine Life."

At this moment, Saria's expression was a little dazed. She was overwhelmed by such a huge amount of information. Even though she had some mental preparation, she was still overwhelmed.

"So... we are just making weapons for them?"

"A weapon of war... based on Ifrit's prototype, which can be manufactured in large quantities using human bodies that match the prototype?"

"We can even use cloning." Chen Qi added lightly, his expression a little gloomy, "Colombia's ambition is actually no less than Ursus, but their top leaders are very smart and know how to keep a low profile."

"Once the Flame Demon Plan matures, Columbia's ambitions... will also be revealed."

“Colombia—has always wanted to become famous and the world hegemon.”

"hateful!"

Upon hearing this, Saria was extremely angry and threw a punch. The punch was so powerful that even the sound of breaking through the air was heard. There was no doubt that this punch was enough to kill the person directly.

It's no wonder that Saria is so angry. They were all deceived and joined Rhine Life in order to cure the Originium disease on this continent. During this period, they kept using this excuse to convince themselves and watched Ifrit being made so miserable by the experiment.

But in the end...it all turned out to be a scam!

Although Saria noticed some clues before she quit Rhine Life, she never expected that the truth behind all this would be like this.

Hemer also had a gloomy look on her face. If there hadn't been a force supporting her, she might have sat on the ground in frustration.

All their efforts, all their tolerance and pain...actually...actually all for something like this.

What is this? What is this!

Such a self-destructive thought even appeared in Hemer's mind. But suddenly, she noticed something and raised her head to look at Chen Qi.

"Wait! Mr. Chen Qi! How do you know all this?!"

Hemer finally grasped the point. Although these truths were extremely devastating, neither she nor Saria had ever seen Chen Qi.

Chen Qi is not their partner and has never even met them. How can they believe Chen Qi's one-sided words?

"——Yes." Saria also reacted suddenly, her eyes immediately looked at Chen Qi, and said in a cold voice:

"How do you know this? What are your bases and evidence?"

"If it's just your one-sided statement, then with all due respect, no matter how logical your statement is, it's not convincing."

"——Miss Saria, I will call you that for now."

However, Chen Qi sighed lightly when he heard this. He knew that he had to reveal this secret to them.

Even though Chen Qi felt that the fewer people who knew about these things, the better, however, Saria, Hemer and the others... should really know about this.

Anyway...it can't be hidden.

"Ms. Saria, before you came to Rhodes Island, did you fight against someone who had a shield almost identical to the one you hold and used Originium skills with fire?"

"You do know her!" Upon hearing this, Saria nodded and admitted, "I did fight with that person."

"But - she has been deliberately hiding her face. When I fought her, she kept hiding her face behind the shield. I was also very curious why she used such an inconvenient fighting method."

"...That's really not candid."

Chen Qi was also stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed. He also found Ifrit's attitude quite interesting.

Wanting to see him but not daring to, he still couldn't break through his last stubbornness. In a sense, Ifrit's personality was even more awkward than Chen Qi's.

However, this was indeed a good opportunity. A chance to destroy all of Ifrit's pretended strength in one go.

"Ms. Saria, in your opinion, who is the one who can use the flame-like Originium technique and control it to perfection, and even hurt you?"

"Those who use fire..."

Saria was slightly stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but start thinking about the people she knew.

Saria is extremely powerful. First of all, there are very few people who can hurt her. However, she is also able to use the Originium skill of fire, which narrows the scope a lot.

Wait... using fire... and being able to pose a threat to someone like Saria...

"——Ifrit?!" X2

At this moment, Saria and Hemer exclaimed at almost the same time. Saria grabbed Chen Qi's shoulders in disbelief, and both lost their usual calmness.

"This is impossible?! Ifrit was clearly with Hemer at the time, and she was also present when Rhine's life was destroyed!"

"How is it possible—Ifrit did it?!"

"——What if I say it's another Ifrit?"

Finally, Chen Qi spoke lightly, and these words once again shocked Saria and Hemer speechless.

"...Ms. Saria and Dr. Hemer, I hope you can keep this secret."

At this time, Amiya at the side finally spoke. Facing the stunned and confused expressions of Saria and Hemer, Amiya's face was extremely serious as she told them the shocking news.

"Mr. Chen Qi is a being from the future. He traveled from the future to the present to save the Terra continent."

"——And the one you are talking about now, Miss Ifrit, is the one who destroyed Rhine Life and confronted Miss Saria that day."

"——What?!" x2

At this moment, both Saria and Hemer were shocked again. They just felt that what they knew and what happened on this day surprised them more times than in all the previous years combined.

"If you don't believe me, you can follow me."

At this moment, Chen Qi spoke again, breaking the last bit of doubt and confusion between the two.

"The future Ifrit is right here. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see her now."

"——By the way, you can think about how you should treat her when you see her again."

PS: This is the second update today, so there are only 5 chapters left!

I’m almost done paying it back, ah… I’m so tired.

I have to get some sleep, or I'm going to die.

Chapter 105: The Rhine Life family finally met

"Identity authentication successful - Welcome, Doctor Chen Qi."

After a burst of intelligent AI voices, Chen Qi, as the leader, led a group of people to the interior of the laboratory. Because of the preparation of the "medicine to cure Originium disease" that Chen Qi and Kal'tsit had discussed before, Chen Qi's laboratory had been fully upgraded.

Originally there was only one sensor door, but now there are three. Each level requires Chen Qi or the top management of Rhodes Island to enter. Chen Qi's laboratory has become the place with the strictest security in Rhodes Island.

In order to enter here, Chen Qi also had to enter the identities of several other people. Behind him were Saria and Hemer.

However, as Chen Qi passed the certifications one by one, the three of them had arrived at the last level - the door outside the laboratory.

But here, Saria and Hemer stopped in their tracks.

"...What's wrong?" Chen Qi noticed that the two of them stopped walking at the same time. He turned around and found that they had some subtle expressions.

"... Otherwise, I won't go."

However, at this moment, it was Saria who spoke first. This woman who was known as "hard as diamond" in Rhine Life had a very subtle expression at this moment. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had walked ten miles to hold her urine, and her face was full of discomfort.

"I, I'd better stay outside and not go in and cause trouble."

"Saria?!" Hemer was also surprised when he heard that. This straight woman actually got scared?

No, that’s not the point. If Saria wasn’t with her, Hemer wouldn’t dare to go in by herself!

"…I don't know why, but the closer I get to here, the more my heart beats. I can feel my heartbeat almost reaching twice its usual speed."

"I'm a little worried...if I really see Ifrit...I'll have a heart attack and faint."

It took Saria a long time to find such a plausible excuse. She was indeed very nervous, and it was obvious in her words.

The arms that could have held up the shield steadily were trembling slightly, and the body was shaking very slightly. It was the first time that Saria was so nervous. Even in front of the erupting fire demon, she had never been so nervous.

That feeling, that feeling as if my heart is about to jump out...

"Sai, Saria, I'm the same as you."

At this time, beside Saria, Hemer's voice slowly came out. Hemer's face was tense, as if he was trying to restrain his nervousness, and his teeth were chattering.

"But since we want to verify all this, we have come this far and can't escape, right?"

"I, I will accompany you, Saria."

"…Please don't say that, Dr. Hemer. You're making me even more nervous."

However, Hemer's words did not calm Saria down. Looking at Saria whose hands were shaking, Hemer was stunned for a moment before he said with a trembling voice:

"Yes, how about we go in together holding hands?"

"……good idea."

So, at Hemer's suggestion, the two of them gently clasped their hands together, with their fingers interlocked. They could feel each other's palms sweating, but they still held them tightly.
