We are from the future ark

"…Are you ready?"

However, at this moment, Chen Qi had a bitter look on his face. For some reason, the corners of his mouth felt a little sour, as if he had just eaten something very sour.

However, after suppressing these thoughts, Chen Qi also carried out the final information verification.

"——Information authentication successful."

However, with the sound of the intelligent AI female voice, the sensor door in front of him slowly opened. Behind Chen Qi, the two women almost couldn't help but run away.

However, they held each other down and no one ran away.

"Chen Qi, you're back?"

However, in the laboratory, a voice that sounded familiar to everyone slowly came over. Hemer and Saria paused at the same time, and looked in one direction with a bit of stiffness.

There, they saw a figure wearing a white coat with her back to them. The girl had long white hair, but because she was mixing potions, she tied her hair into a neat ponytail.

The black glasses frames on her ears made her look more gentle, which did not fit their impression of her as someone who was easily angered and impatient. The woman's voice was so sunny and revealed her indomitable strength.

"...Chen Qi?"

At this moment, she seemed to sense something and turned around in confusion, revealing her face that had become mature and handsome as she grew up.

At this moment, her eyes completely met the gazes of the two stunned girls.

“——Crack.”

The test tubes in the palms of his hands slipped and fell to the ground, breaking into millions of pieces. The blue liquid inside also soaked directly onto the ground.

But all this made her have no time to care. The sound of the test tube breaking brought her back to her senses immediately, and she turned her back suddenly!

"…Ifrit."

At this moment, Hemer, who was covering his mouth with his palm, had already shed two tears without knowing when, and called out in disbelief with a crying voice:

"Ifrit...is that you?"

"Really, is it really you?"

"..."

Ifrit's body began to tremble slightly, but she still did not turn around.

She just took off her glasses and put them aside, but the slight sobbing sound exposed her current condition.

"... Ifrit, don't you recognize me?" However, Hemer slowly approached and cried out:

"I'm Hemer, Ifrit..."

"And Saria, Saria is here too... Ifrit..."

"…Ifrit."

However, at some point, even Saria's eyes were surrounded by moisture, but Saria was stronger than Hemer pretending to be. She held back her tears and said with a trembling voice:

"Ifrit... I'm Saria, don't you remember me?"

"...Tsk." Ifrit restrained herself with great difficulty. Her hands were clenched into fists. It was obvious that she had reached the limit of her restraint.

At this moment, Chen Qi suddenly said:

"...Operator, Ifrit."

"——Yes!" When Ifrit heard the voice, she subconsciously stood up straight, although her back was still facing everyone, even though she was still crying.

Afterwards, Chen Qi’s subsequent words completely broke Ifrit’s last psychological defense.

"I order you now, turn around and cry as loud as you can!"

"--boom!"

The moment Chen Qi finished speaking, it was as if time had stopped. However, the next moment, a shadow suddenly turned around and rushed towards Saria.

"Puff." Saria only felt a body that was much taller than she remembered throwing itself into her arms. The next moment, the girl burst into tears.

“Wuwuwuwuwuaaaaaaaaa…”

"Hemer, Saria, Hemer, Saria..."

"I miss you guys so much, I miss you guys so much... I really want to see you guys..."

In Saria's arms, the fire dragon that once charged into battle with a heavy shield in hand was now crying like a newborn baby. She hugged Saria tightly, as if she was holding something that was about to die.

Ifrit was crying and repeating the names of the two people she loved, saying, "I miss you so much."

She was crying, crying very loudly, as if she wanted to release all the years of pretending to be strong and all the grievances she had suffered.

"Ifrit..."

And Saria's stubborn tears finally fell at this moment. She gently hugged the much grown-up girl in front of her and answered in tears:

"I'm here... Homer and I are both here..."

"Always here...we have always been here..."

"Don't worry...we will never leave you again."

"Ifrit..."

Looking at Saria and Ifrit hugging each other, Hemer beside them also kept crying. However, she was smiling, although her smile was a little embarrassing.

This scene was like a dream. The moment they saw the child, they knew that what Chen Qi said was true.

Moreover, they were looking forward to this scene so much, and had been looking forward to it for a long, long time...

"...Thank you, Mr. Chen Qi."

Hemer came to Chen Qi, who had been watching the scene silently, and first bowed deeply to him, and then took something from his body.

"No matter how many words I say, I can't express my gratitude...but please, please accept this."

"This is..." Chen Qi took the thing from Hemer's hand - a feather. A feather from Hemer's body.

"...I once gave this feather to Saria and Ifrit. Today, I want to give this feather to you."

"Thank you... for letting us witness the future we are fighting for."

“…This is what I should do.”

Chen Qi's mood at this moment was a little subtle, but he still took the feather from Hemer's hand. Looking at the feather, for some reason, Chen Qi suddenly smiled.

He felt a sense of joy. Even though he had done nothing, he felt really happy to be thanked like this.

...This is the purpose of him doing all this.

"Ifrit, thank you very much for taking care of me, Mr. Chen Qi." Hemer didn't know what to say. She just kept thanking Chen Qi. However, she also knew that no matter how much she thanked him, she could not express all his kindness.

Such an Ifrit not only makes them feel gratified, but also gives them... more motivation to face the future.

"We are all family, why say such things?" Chen Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, but He Mo was stunned, and then he reacted immediately.

Yes, I gave him the feather. In a sense, they are indeed a family.

"Well, we are a family."

Hemer also smiled. Hemer was very beautiful, and she was even more beautiful with this smile.

"If I had a brother like you, maybe I would be very happy too."

"..."

Okay, Chen Qi knew that Hemer had misunderstood, but looking at the current atmosphere, it was not easy for him to point it out.

What happened next... I will explain it slowly.

Chapter 106: Saria discovers a terrible blind spot

“Today, I had the honor of seeing Ifrit cry loudly.

I thought I would laugh at this, but sure enough, I still have no resistance to such scenes.

But this is probably what I’m looking for.”

After writing down these words in the notebook, Chen Qi clipped the feather given to her by Hemer on the page of the notebook, then closed the notebook and put it back in the drawer.

Chen Qi occasionally wanted to record some important things, not that he would forget, but as a kind of testimony to the many things he had witnessed.

This one was still new. Originally, Chen Qi had recorded a lot of things in the notebook in Rhode Island. At first, he recorded every day like a diary, but as he experienced more things, he recorded less and less.

But in contrast, everything Chen Qi recorded afterwards was something that truly left a deep impression on him.

Fortunately, this time, I finally recorded a rare good thing in my notes.

"Da da da."

"——Please come in." After putting away the notebook, Chen Qi was slightly stunned and said to the outside of the door.

After the sensor door opened, the lady from the literature department, who was wearing round glasses and had short brown hair, walked in with a smile on her face.

"Dr. Hemmer?"

"Mr. Chen Qi, would you mind chatting for a while?" Hemer looked much better now. Although his eyes were a little red, he seemed to be much more energetic. Compared to the confusion when he first came to Rhodes Island, Hemer now looked much more motivated.

"Of course." Chen Qi was not busy with other things, so he nodded.

"Well, I'm sorry."

Hemer also sat down in a position opposite Chen Qi. She had not yet changed out of her uniform from Rhine Life, and she exuded the elegance and dignity of a steady woman from the Department of Literature.

However, this time, Chen Qi seemed to feel a little different from Hemer.

"Mr. Chen Qi, we had a lot of misunderstandings about you before. Here, I hope you can forgive us." Hemer first apologized for her and Saria's previous behavior. Obviously, Hemer was not good at speaking and could only speak directly. He was only slightly better than Saria.

"Didn't I tell you not to mention this?"

"Thank you for your generosity." Hemer also smiled slightly, and then, after adjusting his glasses, he finally got to the point.

"Well, Mr. Chen Qi, would it be convenient for me to ask some more personal questions?"

"…Personal question?"

"Yes." Hemer nodded, then said while holding his glasses:

"Can you please tell me how old you are now?"

"——18, or 19 years old." Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he began to think about his age. Facing He Mo's somewhat puzzled eyes, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Sorry, I don't pay much attention to these things, probably at this age."

"19 years old..." However, after Hemer nodded, he kept talking about this age, and then continued to ask:

"So that means that Ifrit is now, at least..."

Ifrit's body was catalytically grown in the laboratory, so even though she now has the appearance of an ordinary girl, her actual mental age is not very old, probably around 6-10 years old. Hemer made his judgment based on this.

"I think we should not discuss this issue any further." Chen Qi smiled bitterly. He had just celebrated her birthday not long before he traveled here.

Of course, that birthday was not a big success. Ever since she turned 25, Ifrit has not been so keen on celebrating her birthday. According to several female operators who are usually more sensitive, when women reach a certain age, they don't like people repeatedly reminding them how old they are.

However, considering the average life expectancy on Terra, most people don't really care. On Terra, there are many young women who are still in their 50s.

This is common knowledge on the Terra continent. Moreover, as the mayor of Rhodes City, Chen Qi has made statistics on this matter and is not surprised.

So, here, people under 30 are called girls, which is not a new thing according to the Sarkaz race of Ifrit.

The Sarkaz were also a race known for their long lifespan, but for the current Sarkaz, natural death was almost impossible.

"It's been so fast... almost 20 years have passed..."

Hemer couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she heard this. It had been 20 years, and she didn't expect that she would see Ifrit 20 years later.

However, there was only joy on Hemer's face, without a trace of sadness.

Originally, Hemer thought that with the extent of Ifrit's infection, even if it was controlled, with this level of Originium disease infection, Ifrit would not be able to survive for more than ten years, or even eight years.

However, now, looking at Ifrit who has grown stronger, stronger and more mature, Hemer feels a great sense of security and joy.

Their efforts, their long-cherished hopes for Ifrit - finally, there was a perfect answer.

However, right after that, Hemer suddenly looked up and asked Chen Qi:
