Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

On the deck, the wind was still blowing.

"Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Gu Cheng said cautiously.

Liu Qi nodded in agreement, and then the two of them came to Liu Qi's room.

Gu Cheng sat in the small living room that was separated. As soon as he sat down, he carefully considered his words and asked, "What kind of creatures are the Tool Clan?"

Hearing this question, Liu Qi pondered for a while before replying: "Do you know what specific changes occurred in human beings during the period of contact between civilizations?"

Gu Cheng recalled the knowledge in his mind and said: "Because of the infusion of cosmic energy, all human beings have undergone strange changes."

"To sum up, there are mainly materialism, which affects the body, and idealism, which affects the spiritual consciousness."

"Materialists have acquired many miraculous abilities through atavism and other forms. They can move mountains and fill seas, and possess huge power."

"But the disadvantage is that there are very few individuals, and the more powerful the bloodline, the harder it is to inherit it. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of severing the inheritance."

"The idealists have created many strange abilities by strengthening their spirits, and this is also the change that most humans have gained."

"However, the upper limit of idealism is extremely high, but the lower limit is also extremely low, and the intensity of elimination is no less intense than that of materialism."

Gu Cheng's summary was very comprehensive, and Liu Qi continued: "Perhaps you have guessed that our Tool Clan is a member of the Idealist Sect."

Liu Qi stared at the puppet silk in her hand, seeming to think of those ghostly drawing symbols she had drawn in the past.

He chuckled lightly and looked at Gu Cheng: "I didn't expect that we actually come from the same origin."

Gu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it okay to just say it like this?"

Liu Qi said calmly: "The clan leader won't mind."

"Otherwise, it will not help Fanxing establish a country."

As soon as these words came out, a historical axis immediately appeared in Gu Cheng's mind.

Civilizations come into contact, and human beings mutate; the earth is shattered, and human beings wander into the universe; ordinary humans survive, mutated humans help each other, and a starry empire is established.

Gathering is a mass of fire, scattered is a sky full of stars.

Stars, maybe this is the origin of the Star Empire.

"So, is this the answer to history?"

Gu Cheng felt that he saw the truth of that period of history in these words.

After sighing with emotion, Gu Cheng suddenly remembered the past speculation that the patriarch was Nuwa's ancestor. Liu Qi said that they were idealists, so their speculations were completely different.

While he was brainstorming, suddenly, a sentence commonly used in novels appeared in his mind.

Flesh and flesh are bitter and weak, and machines soar.

If the ancestor of the Machinery Clan completely gave up his body and tempered his spirit to the extreme, to the extent that the spirit was transplanted into the robot, would he have initially achieved the effect of ascension?

At this time, Gu Cheng thought of another detail.

Liu Qi seems to have said that the clan leader has many bodies and can be switched. Doesn't that make sense again?

However, he is still not sure what the ancestor of the Tool Clan does.

The accompanying ability turned out to be the manipulation of puppet silk.

However, within one day, two big secrets were discovered, which was enough for Gu Cheng to digest for a while.

"Don't tell anyone, otherwise the clan leader will suddenly come and spank you!"

Hearing this, Gu Cheng froze.

Liu Qi seemed to have said that the patriarch of the Tool Clan seemed a bit childish, so she might actually be able to do such a thing!

Perhaps the impact of these two truths was too great. When he received the news from Pei Mingxu saying good night again tonight, Gu Cheng's emotional ups and downs were no longer so ups and downs.

That night, he had another dream.

He dreamed of the chaos caused by the change thousands of years ago, and also saw human beings searching for survival in the universe after losing their homeland.

Suddenly, a joyful laughter burst into my ears.

A face that resembled Pei Mingxu suddenly appeared. Surrounded by him were a group of laughing people, and somewhere in the distance, hidden in the starry sky, a silvery white figure stood quietly.

It seems to be silently guarding, and it also seems to be silently bidding farewell.

At the end of this dream, he saw Pei Mingxu.

They stood on the tower together, and this time, he did not refuse, but slightly curled his lips at him.

"I am willing."

Suddenly, Gu Cheng opened his eyes.

This time, there was no longer a vast starry sky outside the window, but bright sunlight.

Gu Pan was knocking on the door outside the cabin: "Chengcheng, we have arrived at Nanguxing. I heard that you can take the sea bus here and watch the tide break. Do you want to go down and have some fun?"

Didn't you say you can't go? After only a few days, he changed his mind.

But that's okay, he really needs to relax now.

"Gather in half an hour."

After saying that, Gu Pan ran away, apparently to call the other two people.

Gu Cheng got out of bed and walked to the window. He squinted at the ocean scenery outside, but the memory of his dream was clearly printed in his mind.

"Am I...predicting a dream?"

He thought of Pei Mingxu's answers in the past, and then thought of the answers in last night's dream, and murmured in a low voice: "Everything in the dream will also change as events develop."

"No wonder the teacher can even bring out the latest therapeutic equipment."

However, Gu Cheng's predictive ability is still relatively weak.

It will sound the alarm, but it cannot display a clear target.

It can reveal the target, but it must be dreamed.

One saving grace is that the content of his dreams can answer the questions he thinks about during the day, and the time span can even span ten thousand years ago.

But the time of dreaming is uncertain, and the manner of dreaming is also uncertain.

It can be said that it is a tasteless thing, no wonder it can be passed down.

*

Gu Cheng put on a set of waterproof gray casual clothes and met Gu Pan and others.

After getting off the boat, they transferred to the ferry boat and drove wildly along the way.

The temperature in Nanguxing is very comfortable, and the sea breeze blows on your face, bringing a slight warmth.

Gu Cheng squinted his eyes comfortably, and his mind seemed to merge into the beautiful scenery of sea and sky.

The sea bus drove through the middle of the sea, splashing water like a fan. Gu Pan held the window edge with interest and held up his camera to take pictures.

"Come, let's take a photo together."

Gu Pan looked at the blooming waves in the distance and suddenly suggested.

Naturally, a few people would not refuse.

So the seats facing each other were instantly adjusted into a row. Gu Pan was surrounded by Gu Cheng and Liu Qi in the middle, while Xiao Ba stood behind Liu Qi.

The sky and ocean outside the panoramic glass merge into one, and the four people gathered together are also inseparable.

"Here, let me take a solo photo for you."

Gu Pan couldn't sit still and raised the camera again.

Liu Qi was the first to respond.

His outfit today is very casual, wearing a black vest and boots. The end of his flowing silver hair is tied with a red ribbon and tied with a bow.

He curled his lips slightly and made no movement, just looking at the camera quietly.

The scene is frozen.

Xiaoba and Gu Cheng also came one after another.

Gu Cheng smiled in cooperation. Although he was not as elite as usual, he looked real and natural.

Even if it's just a photo, you can still get a glimpse of that smart light.

Xiaoba still had a sullen face, looking like a cool guy, but compared to the two of them, he added a pair of scissor hands, which made him look a bit more naive.

"Come on, let's have another one for two people. I also want one for three people. You can sit together."

Gu Pan became addicted to taking pictures. After taking a circle on the sea bus, he did the same thing again when he entered the tidal port and stood on the lighthouse that looked like an isolated island in the sea.

Unsurprisingly, when Gu Pan returned to the cabin with weak legs and feet, he once again said that he would not go there next time.

Gu Cheng sent her all the way to the room before saying goodbye to Liu Qi.

[Pei Mingxu: Did you have fun today? 】

As soon as he returned to his room, Pei Mingxu's message arrived as scheduled.

At Liu Qi's reminder, Gu Cheng also noticed the unusual protection around him.

Looking back at how well Pei Mingxu knew him, there was nothing he didn't understand.

Gu Cheng had an incomprehensible look in his eyes, and with a move of his hand, he sent him two single photos.

And sent a message: [Complete what you didn’t collect. 】

Pei Mingxu replied instantly: [You noticed it. I didn't mean to disturb you, I was just worried about your safety. 】

Gu Cheng: [I know, that’s why I’m willing to take the initiative to tell you what’s happening around me. 】

When these words came out, Pei Mingxu went through a long period of input, seeming to be pondering and struggling.

Gu Cheng: [That’s what you think. Once the branch is on track, start your plan. 】

This time, typing took longer.

But after a long time, Pei Mingxu sent a reply: [Okay. 】

Gu Cheng laughed dumbly.

Sure enough, when they got into each other's rhythm, they both seemed to become a little boy.

You will be hesitant and entangled, and you will also worry that you have misunderstood the other person's meaning and that your behavior will make the other person unhappy.

There's nothing wrong with that, though.

This just proves that the other party cares.
