Qizi

Ling Xiao was dumbfounded. As early as the first time he knew the existence of the gene center, he had doubts about his own origin, but he never thought of a version like Magpie Nest Jiuzhan, which was completely beyond his ability to accept.

Ignoring his surprise, Moon Shadow continued to speak slowly.

"Didn't you think so? You were originally created for self-defense, so in your genetic code, the first order is to be loyal to the royal family and defend the country. The priority of this order overrides all orders."

"In the beginning, you were born as war machines. You have no human feelings, and you will only obey unconditionally. But gradually, we have become dependent on you, and we have also developed trust. We want to share our wisdom with you, so we started A gene transplant program."

"Gene transplant?"

"It is to extract the cells, blood, and bone marrow of Tianxiu people... and then transplant them into another artificial human, so that he not only possesses human intelligence, but also communicates with the person who provided him with genes."

"So in the era I lived in, everyone with a certain status had their own intelligent life. In today's words, it is a personal mecha with life."

Ling Xiao tightened his grip on the railing, "So I'm yours..."

Yueying raised her eyes and smiled mysteriously, "Maybe you don't remember what code name people used to call you back then. In ancient Tianxiu, people like you who have received my gene transplant are called me. of……"

His lips moved slightly, and he spit out the two words softly, "Qi, Zi."

Ling Xiao felt like someone had hit him hard on the chest. Yue Ying's words overturned his cognition of life, but he could feel Yue Ying's heart, and made him confirm that every word the other party said was true.

"Surprised, isn't it?" Yueying said lightly, "Because over the years, you have obliterated and tampered with all the culture we left behind, or destroyed the corpses and traces, or put on crowns and put on hats, and even titles like Qizi have given new meanings. .”

"Haven't you ever noticed that you sometimes feel that two completely different people are alike, while others don't think so. That's because your genes come from me, and every royal heir can recognize reincarnated souls. Look, although you do not have this ability, you have retained a little intuition, and this is ironclad proof."

Ling Xiao raised his head in surprise, saw Xinglou, thought of Yingfeng, and finally knew where those illusions came from.

However, he still has more doubts that have not been resolved, "You said that I am your son, so what am I to Yingfeng? The coming-of-age ceremony is not created by us, right?"

Moon Shadow shook his head, "In that era, the so-called Qizi did not exist today. The loser in the coming-of-age ceremony must die. Only those who can develop.”

"Why!" Ling Xiao grabbed the railing tightly. His mood is extremely contradictory now. His own anger towards the Yueying tribe and Yueying's hatred towards the Tianxiu people are intertwined, making him constantly struggling between the two camps. He clearly knows that There is one that does not belong to oneself, but cannot be separated from it.

"Why?" Moon Shadow repeated Ling Xiao's question, "Nature has survival of the fittest, and the weak will be eliminated naturally. Just like Tianxiu people who have no wisdom but no force were slaughtered in large numbers, and after you were created, you were eliminated It is our enemy. You are not a product of nature, but of course we were selected by us who created you."

"You who have received gene transplantation have wisdom, but unfortunately wisdom and emotion always complement each other. When the former is given to you, the latter will naturally arise. We don't mind that you have human emotions, but meaningless emotions, It often becomes a burden to war, what we need is the best fighters, not only wisdom and strength, but also ruthlessness to the enemy, only those who can destroy their own kind can meet our requirements.”

"Laws, responsibilities, love... For thousands of years, you have tried every means to increase the chances of survival of the puppet, which itself is against your genes, so when there are no additional conditions, people will still act according to instinct. No Restricted by the law, a deed without love and no sense of responsibility will still spare no effort to kill the deed, and you know this better than anyone else, don't you?"

Ling Xiao's hands were shaking. He felt as if he was a created plaything. He was allowed to be picked and screened by others. Failure in the coming-of-age ceremony meant death. No wonder everyone spared no effort to fight for the lives of their loved ones .

If you don’t hold the coming-of-age ceremony, your soul will be scattered. Holding it means you will either die or become a murderer of your fellow citizens. What Yingfeng did to him, Lan Sheng’s despair, and the torture day and night during the chaotic period are just a few for these people. Gene fragments, in order to meet their own requirements, they add whatever they want, regardless of the pain of others—what's even more ridiculous is that they didn't feel pain at first, and even this ability was given by the people of Moon Shadow.

——I gave you pain, and I will let you bear it, you have no choice.

Yueying's voice continued, but it had become the background in Ling Xiao's ears. He lowered his head deeply, almost torn apart by two completely different positions.

"You expelled all the invaders, made the foreign enemies dare not invade, and became the heroes who saved Tianxiu. We wiped out the last enemy, and we happily waited for your triumphant return. Unexpectedly, what we waited for was your betrayal. Rebels Not only will the Tianxiu people who created you be wiped out, but all compatriots loyal to the royal family will be killed, forced to reincarnate, re-brainwashed, and loyal to the so-called Republic."

"It's ridiculous that you, who call yourself Tianxiu people, were originally born for war. Without war, you would be bored. So you turned defense into aggression and started attacking neighboring countries until the alien races on the entire planet were forced to relocate, and then you The battlefield has been extended to alien planets...Although the Tianxiu people no longer exist, the man-made products we left behind do not do production, but only know how to plunder. Like a madman, they eat away at the surrounding planets and are feared and hated by everyone. .No one can check and balance with you, and no one dares to approach this planet. The three words Tianxiu people have become a nightmare for the entire galaxy."

As Yueying's hatred continued to intensify, Ling Xiao's head was about to explode.

"Stop talking..." He gritted his teeth and forced out.

But Yueying didn't stop, "Unfortunately, it seems that someone behind the back of the royal family has added the command of soul pulling for you. To be honest, when I first knew this, I was also very surprised. But now that I think about it, what he did is really amazing. He couldn't be more correct, he had a premonition of possible dangers in the future, and took precautions first."

"There are no more planets to invade, and you have a lot of emotions. You started to play house, modifying the code as much as possible, what is loyalty to your spouse, and the two sides can develop together... I knew that one day you would not Satisfied with this, I moved my thoughts to the modification authority of the central system. Thanks to your overreaching, I was able to see the light of day again and have the opportunity to seek justice for my people."

Yingfeng shook his hand, and the soul crystal in his palm almost fell, Fu Yao hurriedly stepped forward, "How is it? Ling Xiao is already awake, isn't he?"

"What did you see?"

Long Yin also rushed over just now, the soul was stolen by Yueying, he can easily control the Tianxiu people, it's not that he didn't know that the ancient royal family had supreme power, but he didn't expect to have such great energy.The predecessors deliberately tampered with history to obscure the truth, but instead helped Moon Shadow.

Yingfeng was shocked by the truth he heard through the five-sense sharing soul crystal. Dozens of people around him were staring at him intently. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth here.

Once this truth is made public, it will definitely cause social unrest.

Yingfeng clenched his fist, and since he shared all five senses, he also felt the cold sweat in Ling Xiao's hands clenched on the railing.

"We can't get in touch with Ling Xiao right now, otherwise it will attract the attention of the enemy." Yingfeng skipped the topic and briefly recalled Ling Xiao's environment. Boat. There are two people I saw, besides Yueying, there is also a young form, he is a student of Bikong, his name seems to be... Xinglou? I saw him once in the history museum..."

Yingfeng had a flash of inspiration, "At that time, he was visiting the ancient royal emblem, the one that was stolen!"

Fu Yao and Long Yin exchanged a look, and quickly ordered, "Everyone board the ship and go to outer space, and track down the whereabouts of the Eagle."

"No matter how big the universe is and how small the target is, we must find it!"

Ling Xiao slowly recovered from the contradictory struggle, maybe it was because Yueying's mood gradually calmed down after venting, which made him no longer as excited as before.

"But there's one thing I don't understand," he gasped, "what do you want me to do, make me an enemy of my people and continue to serve you?"

Just as Yue Ying was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Lan Cheng walking in from the corner of her eye, and changed the version of what she originally planned to say.

"I'm just at the request of your little friend, and for the sake of you being my betrothed son, I'm kind enough to help you get rid of an undue relationship."

Ling Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart, "What's the relationship?"

Yue Ying obviously didn't want to talk too much about this matter in front of Lan Cheng, "I'm already very tired after talking so much, and you don't look well, take a good rest, and you'll know soon."

He patted Xinglou's hand on his shoulder, and the latter pushed him away from here. Only then did Ling Xiao realize that he hadn't asked any questions about Xinglou.If the intuition is correct, he is really the ancestor of the Tianxiu people, how did he retain this memory?

At this time, Lan Sheng came over and thoughtfully brought water for Ling Xiao, but the latter didn't even touch it.

"You sweat a lot, drink a little."

He didn't say anything, Ling Xiao didn't even realize that his back was drenched in cold sweat, but even so, he didn't want to accept Lan Cheng's love.

"Do you know what you're doing? Why did you come together with those people?"

Lan Sheng took the water back silently, "The historical grievances you mentioned have nothing to do with me. I am a superficial person who only sees people around me. My friends have been treated badly. Of course I want to Help him out."

"How many times do I need to repeat to you that Yingfeng may have acted excessively, but that was a long time ago. Didn't you listen to what Yueying said just now? Even I, the client, has already let go. Why are you still pestering me?" Don't let it go?"

"You put it down because you are a contracted child. You have been brainwashed by this system. In fact, you can't see the true thoughts in your heart at all. Once the blood contract is not lifted, your so-called feelings are self-deception. Now you, only They will blindly compromise and escape, and have lost their independent personality."

Ling Xiao couldn't help being annoyed, "You said that the blood contract has not been released, but do you know how to cancel the blood contract? I have personally seen a person who lost an entire arm in order to release his relationship with Qizi! But he paid Even at such a high price, the goal is still not achieved, do you want me to become like that?"

Lan Sheng remained indifferent, "That's why I brought you here. Moon Shadow can do things that others cannot do. He promised me that he will help you regain your freedom and let you get rid of Yingfeng's control forever."

Ling Xiao was startled, could this be what Yueying was referring to just now?Lan Sheng's words were absurd but three points credible. As their creator, Yue Ying might really have mastered the method to break the blood contract.

"But even so, they don't need to do this for you, they must have other plans," Ling Xiao anxiously persuaded, "Lan Cheng, you have been used by them, think about it carefully, they have to do it for you." The ancient Tianxiu people take revenge and destroy our people."

Lan Sheng's tone was calm, "If I can really get back to you in the past, even if I'm used, I won't hesitate."

Ling Xiao smashed the railing in front of him angrily, "Why have you been so obsessed with the identities of Qizhu and Qizi until now? I now understand what Pingzong said. If two people want to be together, there must be someone who wants to be together." Bow your head. Pingzong will not be willing to be a Qizi, but he is willing to compromise for you. I don't want to be a Qizi, but if the price is to be separated from Yingfeng, then I am willing to be a Qizi!"

Lan Cheng stared at him gloomyly, with disappointment on his face, "The Ling Xiao I knew was proud and confident, and he would never bow his head for anyone. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he would dare to say bold words that would take the opponent's heart and soul. Instead of Now this one can even say that he is willing to become a Qizi, in order to survive, give up his personality, give up his self-esteem, and give up everything to live in a humble way."

"You are no longer the Ling Xiao I knew."

He said word by word.

"The Ling Xiao I knew is dead."
