Future Crystal Crown

"Qiu, have you seen Lieutenant Colonel Horn recently?" Amor, who had been silent all this time, raised his head to look at Qiu.

"No." Qiu.

"When he left, he told me that if you encounter particularly difficult things, let me remind you that you can find him." Amor said.

"..." Qiu didn't say anything.

"I don't think Haun is a bad person, but his personality is a bit unique. You will know after getting in touch with him. He is actually quite good." Amor.

"Amor, if you like him, you can go with him yourself, why bother to pull Shangqiu." Sean said, with a look of reproach.

Amor was not happy. He threw Qiu away and turned to Xiao En: "I'm just helping to convey a message. What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will pull Qiu away and you can't explain to the master?"

Sean turned cold.

"Amor!" Qiu wanted to stop Amor, but Amor insisted.

"Sean, we all know Lieutenant General Haines treats you well, and we won't stop you if you want to repay your favor, but you don't need to do that, right?" Amor said.

"What did I do?" Sean said coldly.

"In order to please your boss, you squat here every day, you don't even go to the laboratory, you don't listen to the lectures, don't you think others are blind and can't see it?" Amor sneered.

"Whether I go or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Sean said.

Amor: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with my brother. Aren't you here just to watch Qiu? Report his every move and win the trust of the boss by betraying friends. I've seen a lot!"

"You, unreasonable!" Sean was mad with rage, stood up and ran for the door.

Qiu looked at Amor in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

"Qiu, it's your fault too. If you had told us about your family affairs earlier, we would have taken precautions. Why do people sit behind you and watch you every day?" Cooper said.

The centaur killing incident was exposed, and the rancor between the Rand family and the Haines family was also revealed.Everyone in the office now knows the relationship between Lieutenant General Haines and the three Cook brothers.

"When Lieutenant General Haines came here, he said that he needed to rectify discipline, so it turned out to be aimed at Qiu." Li Zhonglin also said.

"Oh, that's not the case. Lieutenant General Haines didn't treat me well. Don't talk nonsense." Qiu had no choice but to explain.

"I heard that Lieutenant General Haynes is looking for the heads of various laboratories, and the Gangbas Laboratory is also short of heads. Do you think Xiao En will be spotted?" Li Zhonglin asked.

"Then he has to work harder to sell out a few more people. Otherwise, his qualifications are not enough." Cooper said leisurely.

"..." Qiu was speechless.

"Ding!" The phone on Qiu's desk rang.

Haines' office please.Now!Qiu only felt that one was bigger than the other.

"Look, what did I say?" Cooper snorted coldly.

Qiu also complained in his heart, Sean, how could you do this.

Going out and taking the elevator to the top floor, the door of Lieutenant General Haines's office was already open. Qiu looked around but couldn't see Xiao En's shadow.

"General, are you looking for me?" Qiu knocked on the open door.

"Well, come here." Haynes seemed to be in a good mood, and was looking at a photo album. When he saw him coming in, he motioned for him to go over.

Qiu closed the door and walked over, sat down at the seat designated by Haines, carefully watching Haines' face.

Haynes seemed completely unaware that there was a quarrel downstairs just now. He pushed the photo album in front of Qiu, pointed to the photos on it with a smile and said to Qiu: "These are all photos of you when you were young. I will find them here. Come out. Look at what you looked like at that time."

"Oh." Qiu didn't expect Haines to call him just to look at the photos.

Looking down at the photo album.In the photo album is a child's growth history, from newborn to running around, from a meat ball carefully held in the hands to a naughty naughty boy climbing up and down.The appearance of black hair and black eyes is both strange and familiar, as if a space-time tunnel has been opened, returning to many years ago in an instant.

"This is me taking you for a ride on the ponies, you love them...this is us going to see the crystal exhibition, you hold the pillars and refuse to leave...this is your favorite playground, the Museum of Paleontology, can you recognize Show all the animals and plants here..." Haines explained the photos to Qiu one by one.

Qiu looked over one by one, gradually frowning.

All the photos have one thing in common, that is not only a child in the photo, but also a sparkling crystal.

The shape of those crystals is not fixed, sometimes they are spherical, sometimes they are irregular. Sometimes they are held by the child in his arms, and sometimes they are beside him, but without exception, there is a sparkle in each of these crystals. The luminous spirals, which appear in every photo like anti-counterfeiting signs, shine brightly around the children.

"This is?" Qiu finally couldn't help but asked Haines curiously, pointing at the luminous body.

"It's your fault. Whenever you're crying or laughing and you're particularly emotional, the crystals around you shine brightly," Haynes told Yau.

"I made them glow?" Yau was surprised.

"Yes, these are only part of the records. In fact, you activate the crystal dozens of times a day, but many times it is not long enough to be recorded." Haynes said.

"But why don't I remember?" Qiu was sure that he didn't see any light from the surrounding crystals after he remembered.

"That's because your ability was artificially locked. I don't know what trick that person used, but he succeeded. He sealed your ability and it hasn't reappeared in these years. Until you participated in that The battle to save Apocalypse." Haynes.

"That air battle?" Of course Qiu remembered that air battle, and every detail was still vivid in his memory.It's just that he never thought that the glow of the crystal ball would be related to air combat.

"That battle was very dangerous and very exciting. You completed an impossible task in a state of high excitement and tension. It was at that time that the potential contained in you was stimulated, and it broke through the confinement set by thought. Once again Back to you. When you approached the Centaur Garden that night, the crystal ball in the Centaur Garden sensed your energy, and when you touched it, it was activated." Haynes.

It turned out to be like this.Yau had to admit that Haynes' analysis did sound reasonable.Only this kind of reasoning can explain why the golden swirls will appear on the crystal plate when I just swipe it casually. Before that, I didn’t see any surprises when I wiped the crystal utensils countless times.

"Qiu, I hope you can regain control of the crystal ball." Haines looked at Qiu seriously.

"Huh? Why?" Qiu.

"Because Mesa said so." Haynes.

"Mesa?" Qiu.

"Yes, when Mesa sent me the painting, someone told me. She said that there are other people in this world who know the secret of the crystal ball except Noah. If that person snatches it first, the crystal ball will be endangered Everyone's safety, the slightest negligence of this universe and this civilization will end here." Haynes.

"Oh?" Qiu was startled, and the oil painting hanging in Haines' home quickly flashed through his mind.The angel in white is lying on the dark red background, his expression is painful, complicated and fragile, and the boundless red behind him is rich and thick.Could it be that the color of blood is a symbol of the end?What about the setting sun of Prism Star, what does it represent?

"Qiu, are you curious about Prism Star?" Haynes had been observing Qiu's reaction, and seeing Qiu's mind wandering, he simply picked up the topic directly.

Qiu was slightly shocked.

"Look at this photo." Haines said and turned the album directly to the last page.

"Huh?" Qiu looked at Haines in surprise. "You took me there?"

Haines nodded with a smile. "If you want to find out what Prism means to you, I think the answer is here, I took you to Prism on your fourth birthday. You were stolen within a week of your return. That was our last time Go out together, but I don't know how much you remember."

Qiu suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that he had been to the Prism Star, the truth turned out to be like this.

"Why did you take me there? What does it have to do with the Noahs?" Qiu asked eagerly.

"It is the place where humans first discovered the Noahs, and there are still crystal mines mined by them underground. I took you there to show you the place where your people once stopped. The sunset there is still , the land is still there, I hope you can feel the caress of your ancestors." Haines looked into Qiu's eyes, and there was a trace of warmth flowing in his eyes.

Qiu Pu caught the ardor and sincerity in that gaze, and was slightly moved in his heart.

However, although Haines' answer was emotional, it was much more boring than he guessed.But on the other hand, this answer also made Qiu feel faintly relieved. After all, there was a violent explosion on the Prism Star, and it would be fine if it was just a resource mine of the Noahs.

"Where do the Noahs live?" Qiu asked Haines directly.

"This Mesa didn't say anything." Haines replied with some hesitation.

"Don't humans know?" Qiu asked.

"Man's exploration of the universe is too superficial." Haynes.

What's the meaning?Qiu suddenly realized that Haines' words seemed to be denying something.

"Qiu, I can't answer you now, I can only tell you what Mesa asked me to tell you." Haines said.

"What did she say?" Qiu asked curiously.

"She said no matter how many questions you have, when you light the crystal ball, you will find the answer." Haynes.

"This means that the crystal ball will guide me to the residence of the Noahs?" Qiu's eyes lit up.

Haines just smiled.

Who knows, everything is possible in the vast universe.In fact, it doesn't matter where the Noahs live, the important thing is to make people hopeful.It is enough to give Qiu a little hope and let him feel that the world is not hideous and terrifying. As for how many lies there are in these words, it doesn't matter at all!

Seeing Qiu relax, Haynes was also very happy, but this was not enough, he had more important things for Qiu to understand.

"Qiu, I think it is necessary to remind you that there is one person that you must be careful about." Haines said.

"Huh? Who?" Qiu focused again.

"This person is the one who bewitched your parents to take you away from the laboratory. He not only hid your whereabouts, but also locked your ability to control the crystal." Haynes.

"Who is he?" Yau asked Haines.

Haines shook his head. "I don't know who he is. We checked carefully after the incident, but we couldn't find any clues at all. He was very clean and even very weird. Mesa said he was a devil in the world."

"Ah!" Qiu felt a chill run down his back.

"So you have to be vigilant at all times, don't trust anyone easily, even if that person is your most familiar family member!" Haines looked majestic and full of vigilance.

"..." Qiu felt that the air around him seemed to become heavy in an instant.
