We are from the future ark

From the shadows, Chen Na's voice was heard, slightly trembling, a little different from before. However, the firmness in his tone remained the same.

Chapter 123: Chen's pain, the name that cannot be spoken

In the shadows, the dragon-horned policewoman, holding a long sword emitting a dim red light, stood in front of Chen Qi. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Qi, and she tightly grasped the Chi Xiao in her hand.

"I can pretend I didn't see it."

"Now, leave here immediately, Chen Qi."

"I want to bring these thugs to justice."

However, in front of Chen, Chen Qi did not give any answer. The light bulb next to the slum that was about to break was still flashing stubbornly.

In the shadows, Inès tightened her grip around Tallulah, but she couldn't free her hands to reach for the dagger at her waist.

"...These two are both operators of my Rhodes Island. Please don't make it difficult for you, Officer Chen." Chen Qi was caught red-handed, but he was not nervous and gave such an excuse.

"——You are shielding a criminal, Chen Qi."

Chen's tone became a little more severe. She slowly walked forward a few steps and said coldly:

"The Longmen Guard Bureau is not there to do nothing. We have our own intelligence department. We already know the appearance of these criminals."

"——Two Sarkaz, an injured Sarkaz, and an unconscious woman with dragon horns."

"Behind you, I have seen the Sarkaz. Do you have anything else to say?"

After Chen finished speaking, he slowly let out a long sigh, then calmed himself down and said coldly:

"Last chance, Chen Qi, leave now."

"Otherwise, I will arrest you for obstructing public service."

"..."

Chen Qi was silent. He didn't know how he should treat Chen in front of him at this moment. His reason told him that Chen had done nothing wrong and she was just doing her job.

If it were normal times, Chen Qi would react the same way as Chen, but now...

Chen Qi glanced behind him and saw Ines biting her lower lip nervously, while in her arms, Tallulah was still unconscious.

Aunt Tallulah...

Chen Qi didn't know much about Tallulah's past, nor did he know what other stories there were between Tallulah and Chen, other than being sisters in name only. Tallulah and Chen had never told him about these things in the past.

But he knew one thing: Aunt Tallulah hated Wei Yanwu very much.

He hated Wei Yanwu so much that he wanted to kill him at any time. This was also one of the main reasons why Chen Qi did not want to accept Wei Yanwu to Rhodes Island. If Wei Yanwu had not used Chen's name and his relationship with Chen to block people, Chen Qi would never have allowed Wei Yanwu to come to Rhodes City.

Wei Yanwu is Chen's uncle, and Chen and Tallulah are half-sisters. Chen Qi is very clear about this.

However, Tallulah hated Wei Yanwu, and Wei Yanwu...had never mentioned Tallulah in front of Chen Qi.

Such a relationship made Chen Qi dare not take the risk to believe what Chen's current attitude towards Tallulah was.

If Wei Yanwu knew that Tallulah was here...

Chen Qi didn't dare to guarantee how Wei Yanwu would react to Tallulah.

He couldn't take the risk.

Aunt Tallulah - Chen and Wei Yanwu can't know yet! Chen Qi didn't dare to take the risk.

Well... now there is only one way.

"——Chi Xiao."

Chen Qi opened his eyes again, and the next moment, a red light suddenly came whistling, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it came into Chen Qi's hands!

The red sword body formed a strong contrast with the dim red light in Chen's hand! With a bloodthirsty aura, the unsheathed Chi Xiao came into Chen Qi's hands.

The dazzling red light made Chen's pupils hurt a little, and the fierce aura made Chen's heart tremble.

However, it was not because of Chi Xiao, but because of the person who held Chi Xiao and pointed it at himself.

"—You're going to draw your sword against me just for these thugs?!"

Chen didn't know what kind of mentality she had as she shouted this sentence. Her palm, which could have tightly grasped Chi Xiao, was actually trembling a little at this moment, but not because of fear, but because of confusion and anger.

Chen roared out with an indescribable anger and a hint of bitterness:

"Why?! Why are you shielding those thugs?!"

“…I want to save them.”

Chen Qi replied calmly. Chen's hands were shaking, and so were his hands. However, both of them suppressed the trembling in their hearts and pointed their swords at each other.

None of them is wrong; they all act for their own beliefs and their own principles.

Even though, in his memory, they were once very close, it was still the same.

Just as Chen Qi said, he had seen too many cases of people drawing their swords against each other for their beliefs.

Even though the person in front of him was Chen, whom he once respected so much.

Chen Qi still remembered that he had called the woman in front of him "Mom".

But now...it seems difficult to say it anymore.

The person blocking his way in front is the one he loves, and the one he wants to save behind is also the one he loves. It seems that he has the initiative now, but in fact, for Chen Qi, he has no choice.

Raising the sword does not mean killing people, but just showing one's attitude.

"——Good! Good! You have guts!"

Chen shouted these words with all her might, almost roaring. Her vocal cords seemed to be a little hoarse from shouting, trying to hide her ugly expression at the moment.

It seemed that only in this way would she force herself not to be lenient.

"Then - use your Chi Xiao to prove your determination! Chen Qi!"

"...Hurry up and go." Facing this scene, Chen Qi's expression did not change. He said to Ines behind him calmly: "Go out from here and continue walking east for 5,000 meters, and you will see Rhodes Island."

“Don’t let anyone on the road see you. Tell my name when you go to Rhodes Island. Kal’tsit will take them to heal.”

"Yeah." Ines nodded with a complicated expression. Before leaving, she said to Chen Qi's back:

"…Although this sentence sounds a bit ridiculous to us Sarkaz."

"But—you're such a good person."

After leaving these words, Ines quickly retreated, leaving only the two people present.

It is not easy to be described as a "good person" by the Sarkaz. Although Ines is not a Sarkaz, she is already the same as them.

However, at this time, Chen Qi ignored these titles. In front of him, Chen had already raised Chi Xiao and aimed it at him.

"——Chi Xiao! Kill!"

With a loud shout, Chen's body appeared in front of Chen Qi almost in an instant. His strong ability to advance and explosive power made Chen's figure extremely difficult to capture in the dark!

But, for Chen Qi, Chen's current speed...

It's just that I'm very close to him.

Chen Qi had already mastered Chen's swordsmanship by heart. It was different from the swordsmanship that Tallulah later created to target Chen's swordsmanship. Chen's swordsmanship was taught to Chen Qi by Tallulah herself. Even with his eyes closed, Chen Qi could sense what moves she was going to make through her subtle movements.

Chen Qi's palm moved slightly at this time, but he did something incredible.

He let go.

The Chi Xiao in his hand slowly stabbed towards the ground due to gravity, and in front of Chen Qi, the dark red Chi Xiao was already within reach.

...but it stopped just within reach.

"..."

Chen's body had already reached Chen Qi's side. The Chi Xiao in her palm was stuck just a short distance away from Chen Qi's neck, but it was as if it had hit an extremely hard wall of air and could not move forward an inch.

No matter how hard she tried, no matter how determined she was... she couldn't even let Chi Xiao move forward a little bit.

“—Aa ...

Suddenly, there was an extremely self-destructive roar, and the Chi Xiao beside Chen Qi's neck suddenly retracted. Chen raised Chi Xiao high, and suddenly stabbed himself with a roar!

"puff!"

Chi Xiao pierced directly through Chen's thigh. The intense pain accompanied by blood made Chen's eyes widen in pain again, telling her that all this was not an illusion.

Looking at his blood-stained palms, the pain in his thighs, and the heart-wrenching pain in his heart, Chen fell to his knees with a roar.

"Why! Why! Why!"

"Why can't I do this! Why can't I do this!"

"Why can't I hurt you at all!"

He could penetrate his own body without any worries, but he could not hurt the young man in front of him at all.

Chen knelt on the ground, howling in pain. His questions seemed to be questioning Chen Qi, but in fact he was questioning himself.

Finally, with his emotions collapsing and his heart aching, Chen stared at his bloodshot eyes and yelled at Chen Qi:

"You-you never appear in front of me again!"

"Stay away from me! The farther the better!!!"

Whenever I stand next to him, I become so strange, even not like myself.

Even though she did so many things that got in her way, she didn't have even a trace of disgust or aversion.

Even trying to do things impartially is impossible.

I can only pray that he stays away from me.

This way, she can continue to live a less strange life, as if she knows nothing.

"……sorry."

Finally, Chen Qi looked at Chen like this, his trembling lips still unable to say anything.

That name was never spoken out loud.

Why is Chen Qi so afraid of this title?

Chen Qi had experienced four mother-like people in his life. His biological mother, Kal'tsit, died before he even met her.

His adoptive mother, who had lived with him for such a long time, met with misfortune because of her own reasons and was buried in Longmen. Even the two people beside her were tragically killed.

Hong and Tallulah...the two people that Chen Qi relied on the most were also shattered in a siege. Hong was killed by a cannon, and Tallulah had to give up her obsession and send him back to Rhodes Island for his safety.

All of this made Chen Qi feel extremely fearful.

A biological mother and an adoptive mother, two kind and mother-like people, all because of me...

How can you let him dare to call others by this name again?

If this world really has destiny.

Perhaps, he is destined to never say this name again in his life.

With so many words to say, Chen Qi couldn't say anything else except "I'm sorry".

I am sorry.

Forgive me... This is the last time I will be willful.

In the shadows, Chen Qi's figure slowly walked away, leaving behind a female police officer who was kneeling on the ground, distraught.

A test tube emitting green light fell to the ground and rolled all the way to Chen's injured leg, reminding her that it could be used to heal the wound.

But Chen didn't make any move.

"Tick."

Is it raining?

Chen looked at the water drops dripping on the ground in front of him, and his thoughts seemed to fly away.

"Mother."

...Who is this voice?
