Capture an Omega Mermaid
Chapter 39 Chao Chao soon heard about Ji Chengfeng and Dr. Gu from Fu Xinglan.
He was a little curious: "Then if Dr. Gu doesn't choose both, what will you really do to him?"
"Yes." Fu Xinglan rubbed him, "But he will choose. He has already chosen since he promised Yin Beichen from the beginning."
Chao Chao quickly figured it out. Gu Yanzhi actually understood very early on that as long as he agreed to enter the First Prince's underground research institute, he would no longer have absolute freedom.
He used to have the opportunity to stay away from these things completely, but for Lin Shuangxiang, Gu Yanzhi was still willing to be "locked up".
Even if Fu Xinglan is willing to let him go now, Yin Beichen will not let him live freely somewhere. Fu Xinglan said that he wants to restrict his freedom. From another level, he is actually ensuring his safety.
"Even if it's not for those things," Fu Xinglan pinched Chao Chao's face, "as long as you're still here, he won't leave."
And even if Gu Yanzhi didn't think about these things on the spot, he could figure it out after thinking about it a little bit after returning home.
Chao Chao thought for a while: "Then he hasn't come to you to regret his previous choice. Does that mean he also likes wwid?"
Shen Yan also listened to it by the way, and interjected: "That's not necessarily true, he might just be annoyed by taking inhibitors, and find a free humanoid inhibitor by the way, which is non-toxic, harmless and has no side effects, and he is in a good mood It can also meet individual needs.”
Tidal was slightly startled, and quickly nodded suddenly: "Oh! So it's like this... I heard that inhibitors don't work well after being used for a long time. It's really more convenient to find an alpha directly."
Shen Yan nodded affirmatively: "Gu Yanzhi doesn't seem to mind being marked by anyone, anyway, wwid has marked him before, and he has won the trust of the marshal. It is obviously convenient, fast and efficient to continue looking for him."
Fu Xinglan and Luo Yunzhou on the side: "..."
Fu Xinglan silently pulled her innocent and lovely baby over and hugged her for a while, and at the same time gave Luo Yunzhou a sympathetic look - I don't know if Gu Yanzhi thinks so, anyway, your Shen Yan is serious and thorough "Wake up in the world", you won't be able to cheat for a while, so you should work hard on your own.
Luo Yunzhou: "..."
tidal:"?"
Fu Xinglan waited for Shen Yan to pack up his things, turned around to sort out the data, and then whispered in his ear: "If I didn't mark you, and you can change to another alpha, would you be able to accept it?"
Tidal shook his head.
Marshal Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief just now, when he heard Chao Chao take it for granted: "You are so compatible with me, why should I find someone else?"
Fu Xinglan suddenly had a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and he forced himself down and said, "Then what if there is another alpha who is highly compatible with you? Do you want to change?"
Tide was lost in thought.
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan gritted his teeth instantly, and carried him to the room.
The tide on his back finally broke into giggles, and Shen Yan and Luo Yunzhou looked at each other, and quickly shook their heads and left the room with a smile.
The blushing begging for mercy soon came from the house, and it didn't take long for it to turn into the little mermaid's confession one after another, mixed with crying and Fu Xinglan's hoarse response, repeated over and over again in the long night, as if to be engraved into the chest deepest.
Because of the identity leak, Chao Chao is temporarily unable to return to school normally.
Although it is impossible to never go out because of this, both Shen Yan and Gu Yanzhi feel that it is best to wait for everything to stabilize.
On the one hand, because hormone stabilization can only be achieved after the marking period is completed, for safety reasons, it is naturally not suitable to go out before that.
On the other hand, Marshal Fu's bipolar disorder is still recurring. The two were attacked not long ago, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out, so naturally they cannot be taken lightly.
Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, the situation is complicated now. Some people can't move Fu Xinglan, and if they are not good, they will make their minds on Chao Chao.
However, this situation should not last for a long time. Fu Xinglan has already started to take over the second army, and the proposal to compete for the commander-in-chief has also begun to prepare.
After all, it is the fusion of the two legions, and conflicts and conflicts are inevitable. Fu Xinglan held a rare and long video conference with Ji Chengfeng, Libra, and Roar, who was still in the First Legion's station, to discuss the details of the takeover work.
Shen Yan had nothing to do with him, but fortunately the result of the examination was really good, so he didn't say any more, he just said: "Although the index of bipolar disorder has temporarily come down, it's really not safe to go up and down like this. Complete the lifetime mark as soon as possible."
Fu Xinglan nodded: "I have no objection."
Ao's lifetime mark is different from temporary mark, only when the combination period is reached, alpha can form a knot and complete the mark.
Tidal pursed his lips, his ears were red and he didn't make a sound, but he obviously agreed.
He is not as thick-skinned as Fu Xinglan, and he is not like Shen Yan and Gu Yanzhi who completely study this kind of matter as an academic issue. When he thought of it while listening to the video class, he still couldn't help but blush.
"What's the matter, blushing like this?" A gentle voice suddenly came from beside my ear.
Startled, Chao Tide suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Xia Shuran.
He changed to online classes not long after the start of school, and didn't know the classmates at all. Fortunately, he met the senior before, so he was able to smoothly cooperate with various school tasks.
In the past few days, Xia Shuran helped him a lot by inquiring about various procedures, collecting books and materials, etc., and the two quickly became familiar with each other. Just seeing the other party's video request popped up, Chao Chao did not even think about it. "accept".
"Brother Huran," Chao Chao quickly straightened his expression, "Any more notices?"
Xia Shuran stretched and lay on the table to look sideways at him.
He was dressed in a white T-shirt, and he was playing with a pen casually in his hand. He looked warm and sunny in the lecture theater in the afternoon, and he was the campus male god in the minds of all oga when they were students.
"No notice," he said with a smile, "can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do? You stay at home every day now, and it's hard to meet you..."
"Didn't you just see it last week when you went to school to apply for the extension of online courses?" Chao Chao laughed.
He knew that Xia Shuran was just talking casually, not really complaining, but he still thanked him earnestly, "You have worked hard these few days."
"It's hard work, it's not hard work, it's just——I have something I want to tell you face to face..." Xia Yu suddenly paused, his expression became lighter, and his tone suddenly became serious, "Chao Chao, you know that you are a native mermaid, which means what?"
Tide's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Xia Shuran's changing expression, he vaguely realized something, and sat up slightly.
Just listen to the person on the other end of the video continue softly: "It means...you are probably from the Xia family."
He added, "It's my brother."
Chao Chao's expression froze, and his heart lifted.
Xia Shuran's tone seemed to have confirmed something...
Chao Chao's heartbeat quickened a little bit, and he said cautiously: "But, I heard that there are no more mermaids in the Xia family now..."
"It's just that they don't know..." Xia Shuran was in the middle of speaking, when someone suddenly entered the classroom, he swallowed back what he was going to say, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time we meet."
He showed a smile, his eyes were deep, clearly hiding many complicated emotions, but in the end he only said softly: "I heard that you lost your memory...Really, can't you remember at all?"
The next video class started, and the phone calls of the two were automatically hung up by the connected video.
Fu Xinglan went to the military headquarters for a meeting and hadn't come back yet. Chao Chao sat alone in front of the computer for a while, and when he came to his senses, the class was almost over.
He turned off the video, only to find that Xia Shuran had sent a lot of photos.
Tidal seemed to have a premonition somewhere, sat there and took several deep breaths before opening up the picture.
In the first one, a young boy is held in the arms of another older boy. The younger one is asleep, only half of his white and tender face is exposed, with thick and slender eyelashes, making him look very cute and cute.
In the second picture, the little boy has grown up a bit, wearing a small suit, and is being held by another half-grown boy who is also wearing a suit. He seems to have noticed someone photographing him, and smiled towards the camera, bending his eyes.
In the third picture, the little boy seems to have reached the age of going to school. He seems to be participating in some stage performance, holding a rose in a glass cover. The white shirt with lotus leaf collar makes him look like a little boy who came out of a fairy tale. prince.
The fourth, fifth...
As if the messed up jigsaw puzzle was pieced back to its original shape bit by bit, scenes of scenes flashed vaguely in Chao Chao's mind, and it seemed that these scattered pictures really brought back some memories.
Mermaids have memory from an earlier time than humans, and their memory is much better than humans.
He can even remember when he was an egg, he was placed in warm water, and someone talked to him every day.
Even if he couldn't understand the meaning of those words, he could easily tell the other party's joy and expectation for his coming to the world.
Then, after what seemed like a long time, he finally broke his shell.
The first time it got out of the eggshell, it met another pair of big black grape-like eyes.
The little mermaid recognized Yin Sui's nature in an instant, and cheered and posted it up...so enthusiastic that the four-year-old Xia Shuran was scared to tears.
Xiao Chao was extremely at a loss, staring blankly at him, very bewildered.
However, everyone was busy coaxing the young master of the Xia family who was frightened and crying, and no one cared about him.
The little mermaid baby turned his head and looked at the wall of the tank—the fish tank with a fat belly stretched his baby fat to three times the width, and the stupid hair on the top of his head was still limp and sticking to the side of his face...it was so ugly.
tidal:"!!!"
The little mermaid instantly understood the reason why the other party was frightened and cried, and shut herself up.
Fortunately, after a while, a specialized doctor came over, gently took him out of the fish tank, wiped him clean, checked his body, fed him, and put him to sleep.
Mermaids have inherited memories after they are born, and their childhood growth is much faster than that of humans.
Chao quickly forgot about this unpleasant experience, and turned to get closer to the doctor who took care of him.
Perhaps because of his young age, in Tide's memory, for a long time, he seemed to have been staying in a room without windows, and there was a pool as big as an ordinary bathtub in the room, and the doctor used that pool every day. Play with him in swimming and teach him how to conjure legs.
It wasn't until he was able to maintain his human form stably that he was allowed to see more people.
It was probably a banquet prepared for him, and Tide saw "father" and "mother" at the banquet, as well as the boy who seemed to have grown up.
"Father" was extremely excited about his appearance, wishing to hug him and show off to everyone in the banquet hall, but he didn't notice that his eldest son was following him all the time, his eyes chasing the babbling little tide in his hand all the way .
Xia Shuran was wearing a well-tailored small suit, with his head held up on the surface and a serious face like a little adult, but actually he was already a little impatient.
Don't you like me?Did you scare him last time?Don't like it now?
He tried his best to dawdle in front of the little mermaid for a long time, but he didn't see Tidal noticing him, so he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.After finally waiting for his father to get busy and finally intending to transfer him, Xia Shuran found an opportunity, awkwardly stepped forward and volunteered, and took him over from his father.
Xiaoxia was still three-headed, and she was very unskilled in holding Tide. Adding to her nervousness, she became even more rigid, as if she was afraid that the force would break Tide.
The father beside him casually ordered: "Heran, take your brother to play for a while, take good care of him, and don't lose him..."
The personal terminal in his hand suddenly vibrated, bringing Chao Chao back to God from his hazy memories.
He looked down, and saw that following the photos, Xia Shuran sent another sentence.
[sorry.Brother seems to have lost you. ][I'm at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion...can you come out and sit down? ]
Chapter 40 Tide tried to call Fu Xinglan twice, but the line was busy and he couldn't get through. He probably was having a video conference.
Fu Xinglan didn't limit his freedom. Chao Chao also went back to school alone a few days ago. He went back in a low-key manner and didn't stay in school for too long. Even if someone recognized him, he didn't cause any disturbance.
After all, this is the Capital Star Center, no matter how bold Yin Beichen is, he will not come here to kidnap him. Besides, after what happened at the airport last time, Ji Chengfeng has been sending people to protect him in secret. Strangers will never even try to get close to him. within five meters.
Therefore, even if Chao Chao was about to go out to meet Xia Shuran, he didn't need to inform anyone at first, but because Xia Shuran mentioned his mother, Chao Chao subconsciously felt a sense of disobedience for some reason, so he wanted to tell Fu Xinglan first.
He thought about it, and tried to call Gu Yanzhi again, but no one answered.
Gu Yanzhi's personal terminal was monitored by the empire, and he had already shut it down when he followed Ji Chengfeng back to the federation. He temporarily equipped a communicator with a non-real name, and never brought it into the laboratory because he was afraid of being eavesdropped.
Chao Chao remembered that last time Gu Yanzhi also said that he might be from the Xia family, and wanted to ask him if he had found any information, but the video request has not been connected, probably because the other party is still in the laboratory.
In this short period of time, Xia Shuran sent another message, saying that there were still many things left by the Xia family in the school, and wanted to take him to have a look.
[Today the school history museum is being demolished, and many things cannot be removed from the old building, and I guess they will not be seen in the future. ] He took a picture of the notice on the bulletin board, which was the notice of the First Academy's plan to rebuild the entire school history museum, and it was stamped with the school's seal.
Chao Chao also heard about this matter from Ji Chengfeng and the others before, and it is said that the demolition happened precisely because the items stored in the secret room of the school history museum by the First Legion were stolen.
The tide suddenly wavered even more.
Xia Shuran continued to work hard: [I finally relied on the relationship of the Xia family to ask the teacher to let people in... I just don't want you to leave regrets later, if you dare not go out alone, you can ask the marshal or someone to accompany you. ] Tide pursed his lips in thought.
Xia Shuran: [It belongs to your mother. ] Chao Chao seemed to have been knocked by someone in his heart, and finally couldn't sit still.
The reason why he was hesitant was because in those vague memories, although he did live with Xia Shuran or the Xia family, and even called each other by family...but he didn't really feel as warm as family.
But shouldn't mermaids have a blood connection?
When he saw Xia Shuran last time, he didn't feel anything else.
But Xia Shuran said "your mother" this time.
If they were really brothers, he should have called them "our mother".
Unless, Xia Shuran and his mother are not the same... Everything seems to make sense.
Tidal couldn't hold back and replied: [Where is my mother...? ] Xia Shuran: [I don't know.She is missing. ][We don't have the ability to find her, but maybe you can ask the marshal to help you when you get her things. ] Tide bit his lip and stood up: [Where are you?I am going now. ] Xia Shuran: [Your door. ] Tidal walked to the door, and soon came back, found something from the drawer, put it in his pocket, pasted it with a gland sticker, and sent another message to Fu Xinglan, then put on his hat and mask and went out...
Fu Xinglan's meeting went on all morning and didn't end.
It’s not that they couldn’t reach a consensus. Most of the generals of the First Legion had no objection to Fu Xinglan’s fight for the “commander” and said, “Anyway, if we don’t do anything, we will be stared at all day long. Why don’t we just stand upright and show them?” Voila."
For mc1, all the members of the First Legion hate it deeply. Libra was worried that a few people had personally hurt their relatives under the influence of mc1, and the pain they suffered was too great. As soon as Fu Xinglan finished speaking, everyone slapped the table and got angry.
"Of course we have to investigate to the end! How can someone deliberately study such a disgusting thing?!"
"The dignified prince of the empire, actually thinks the same way as those brainless Zerg? He should end up with the bugs!"
"How dare you bully our marshal's wife?! Really let the brothers tell him to be a man!"
Ji Chengfeng stood low-key in the crowd in the back row, thinking that your marshal's wife was not bullied much, but the fourth princess was slapped by our marshal unceremoniously, and was thrown on the rooftop for a whole night in the cold wind. Photos of the image were posted on the Internet, and my eyes were swollen from crying.
The research results that the eldest prince has worked hard for several years have all been emptied by us. We originally tossed a lot of circles to improve the competitiveness of the crown prince, but in the end we didn't get any extra points, and even deducted [-] points. Even the head of the research institute They were all kidnapped...
Miserable.
Fu Xinglan hurried back to accompany his wife. After awarding the rewards and punishments, he promoted Wwid who "failed to rush back to the Federation". He planned to adjourn the meeting today and discuss the details later.
As a result, Ji Xue'an called before he finished speaking, and immediately said: "The old emperor is seriously ill. He just issued an imperial edict, and the throne has been passed on to Yin Xining."
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan replied nonchalantly: "Oh."
Ji Xuean went on to say: "The Third Army Corps has already rushed to the border of the empire. The president issued three recall orders, but Strong ignored them. If you want to find a legitimate reason to pass the commander-in-chief's proposal, this is the best time. "
Fu Xinglan paused: "When did Strong and Yin Xining get involved?"
"It's not Yin Xining." Ji Xue'an knew a little bit about the affairs of the empire, "it was Yin Beichen who wanted to force the palace and pulled Strong into the gang, probably because of something like 'I will help you become the emperor of the empire, and you help me become the federation. Commander' and the like."
The sassy and handsome female marshal shrugged and said, "Look, you can't be a commander in chief, some people want to be with their heads sharpened."
Without waiting for Fu Xinglan to have a chance to refute, she immediately interjected: "I reckoned that there was too much movement in the drill of the First and Second Legions, and Strong had noticed it. I knew that if I followed the normal procedure, I would not be able to compete with you, so I thought about it for a while." Crooked ways... If they really get their way, you and your little mermaid will be the first to be dealt with."
After all, if Strong wants to be the commander in chief, Fu Xinglan is the biggest competitor; and Yin Beichen—ordinary netizens may not know the twists and turns behind the previous incidents, but Ji Xue'an is very clear about Yin Beichen's little tricks. Man is clearly bound to win the tide.
Fu Xinglan sneered: "It's okay, if he doesn't come to me, I will go to him sooner or later."
"So," Ji Xue'an clapped her hands and got to the point, "Has our preparations been almost done?"
Since the first and second legions set up an open arena last time, there will be hundreds of matches every day.
It is true that there will be casualties, the arena adopts an online mecha simulation battle connected to the spiritual power, even remotely can participate, and the battle ranking will be published on the list.
Everyone is free to sign up, make free appointments, and can also choose to challenge the top players on the leaderboard. The name of the competition can be chosen at will, and the name of the legion marked on the back is real and cannot be changed.
Among the top ten on the current list, the first and second legions accounted for about four or six points, and the first legion accounted for [-]%. The main reason was that the top one and two had been untouchable almost since they joined the battle.
No. 2 is roar.
Roar didn't hide his identity. When he was on the list at the beginning, he received countless challenge applications every day. Now it's much better. Many people have sincerely admired this frequent First Legion lieutenant.
The attention of the second place is already so high, naturally more people guess the identity of the first place.
The display name of the number one list is startiwide. It is not that no one has suspected that it is Fu Xinglan, but looking at the number of startiwide's terrifying number of games-1057 wins, zero losses-almost double that of No.2roar, think about it. It is absolutely impossible to be the Marshal.
After all, Marshal's hot search is still hanging up. Everyone knows that he is busy robbing the Protection Association for his wife. Where did he get the time and mood to waste in the arena with them? !
However, in fact, Marshal Fu was tortured by depression and became restless. When he was locked in a small dark room and couldn't do anything, he happened to need to find someone to fight to vent.
So they played one game after another for three days.
He is aggressive, and usually ends the battle within 10 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes is a round, and the number of people who challenge the number one is more than the number two, so naturally he has played more games than Roar.
Fu Xinglan looked through the recent historical records of the ring. People from the Second Legion did not deliberately seek challenges from the First Legion. Most of them were soldiers who refused to admit defeat and challenged for high positions. It means sympathy and sympathy.
Fu Xinglan nodded, and replied: "It should be almost done, we can consider starting the formal handover procedure."
Ji Xue'an said: "That line, there are still some miscellaneous military affairs, you can send someone to check it out, record a system or something, and we will settle the bill..."
Libra and Soar are anxious to hear.
Didn't you just say you were going to chase the Third Army? !
Let's talk about it, the starship can probably travel half a planet away, and these trivial handover matters can be discussed later!
Soar is in charge of military affairs on weekdays. He deeply feels that a slight mistake on the battlefield may turn the tide of the battle. He is much more impatient than Libra. Hearing that the two marshals have begun to hand over various specific affairs, he finally couldn't help but interrupt: " Marshal... Didn't Marshal Ji just say that this is a good opportunity? Then should we hurry after it?"
Fu Xinglan and Ji Xuean turned to look at him at the same time.
"What's the hurry?" Ji Xue'an smiled, "at a time like this, of course we have to wait until they finish fighting, and then we go to reap the benefits."
Fu Xinglan obviously thought the same way, not to mention one Strong, even the two he didn't pay much attention to, and was nodding his head slowly, but he heard the flash of the communication in his hand, which was a message from Ji Chengfeng.
He raised his head and glanced at the crowd behind him, seeing Ji Chengfeng's uneasy expression from a distance, and gestured to him "check the news".
Fu Xinglan's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly found an excuse to hang up the video with Ji Xue'an, and after the meeting ended, he clicked on the message to check, but saw that it was Chao Chao's family information—[Gu Yanzhi asked from the teacher, Chao Chao should indeed He is from the "Xia family", but not from "the current Xia family". ]
The Xia family in the legend in Chapter 41 is not so much a mermaid bloodline, but rather - everyone in this family is actually a mermaid.
The reason why the Xia family went ashore to contact humans was to find a cure for desquamation with the help of human technology.
About every race, after a certain level of development, will encounter a "natural cleansing". Needless to say, generations of earth overlords who have been extinct in a long time ago, even human beings, if they hadn't evolved abo three genders, they would have been born in the interstellar world. It has disappeared from the pedigree of cosmic civilization before the beginning of the calendar.
The lifespan of mermaids is much longer than that of humans, but their reproductive ability is far inferior to that of humans. After suffering from desquamation with no known cause, the mermaid population is declining day by day, and there is a vague tendency of extinction.
They quietly entered human society, concealed their identities, and participated in certain social activities in order to find a way to continue the race with a higher economic and social status.
However, not all mermaids can adapt to life on land. Some of them gave up treatment and decided to return to the deep sea they are familiar with and love to enjoy the rest of their lives; The answer I want...
In the end, only the Xia family remained.
Nearly a hundred years ago, the Zerg began to invade human territory, and the last mermaid leader of the Xia family died accidentally during the battle with the Zerg.
At that time, his wife was just pregnant, and he didn't know if it was because of overthinking and losing the comfort of her lover, she also suffered from desquamation for no reason.
"That Mrs. Xia spent nearly 20 years looking for a cure everywhere, and only then did she meet Gu Yanzhi's teacher."
Everyone in the conference room dispersed, and Ji Chengfeng came over, connected to the video with Gu Yanzhi, and listened to him explain the more specific situation with Fu Xinglan.
Gu Yanzhi quickly went on to explain: "Drug research is different from ordinary inventions. It requires a lot of targeted attempts and clinical trials. It is obviously difficult to solve the disease that has plagued mermaids for nearly a hundred years."
Mrs. Xia was afraid that she would infect the fragile newborn baby, so she had to give birth to a mermaid egg in advance, and temporarily entrusted the last mermaid of the Xia family to a servant who had made a blood oath.
"And the current Xia family is actually the descendant of that servant. Because of the mermaid blood oath, it can indeed activate some mechanisms left by the mermaid, so it has always been mistaken for mermaid blood."
Gu Yanzhi said: "When the teacher parted with Mrs. Xia, he had actually found a research direction. Unfortunately, that lady disappeared later..."
In order to prevent Fu Xinglan from fluctuating too much, Shen Yan was also temporarily called over, and couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Could it be that... was caught by the emperor?"
Gu Yanzhi nodded: "I also suspect that the mermaid imprisoned in the First Prince's private research institute, that is, Lin Shuangxiang, should be Mrs. Xia in the teacher's description—although there is no photo left, her hair color is similar to that of Mrs. Xia. The looks match up."
Fu Xinglan focused on the other side, frowning slightly to confirm: "The egg that was born nearly a hundred years ago?"
"To be precise, it was about seventy years ago," Gu Yanzhi explained. "The mermaid's lifespan is long, and the mermaid eggs are not born at full term. It is estimated that they waited longer in the incubator... The old man of the Xia family who made a blood oath The servant passed away, and his descendants were born from generation to generation, and the effect of the blood oath was also diluted from generation to generation, until about 20 years ago..."
Ji Chengfeng obviously already had a deduction, so he opened the Xia family's data collected at this time, followed the tidal age and found the corresponding description—"16 years ago, the Xia family recognized an illegitimate child. It's over 2 years old, named Xia Xiran."
Xia Xiran.
tidal.
Gu Yanzhi looked around at the expressions of the people present. Obviously, after hearing the previous story, and then looking at the two names, everyone had the same guess.
He pursed his lips and guessed: "It's also possible that Chao Tide is his original name, and Xia Xiran's name was changed for him by the Xia family in order to deceive people."
Either way, that egg is most likely... Little Tide.
In order to protect him, his mother gave birth prematurely and put him in an incubator. He was not hatched until 18 years ago, and he was taken back by the "Xia Family" after waiting for two years to transform into a human.
Fu Xinglan frowned: "So... Chao Chao was raised as an illegitimate child of the Xia family?"
"Yes," Ji Chengfeng flipped through a few pages, and pushed the corresponding photos and text in front of him, "The blood oath is effective, the Xia family should not be able to intentionally reveal the identity of the tidal mermaid, and it is even very possible that even the current 'Xia Ma'am has been kept in the dark, and has always regarded Chao Chao as the illegitimate child of her husband outside, and her attitude towards him was not good since she was a child."
Fu Xinglan frowned more and more.
Ji Chengfeng's tone was complicated: "Xia Shuran has always taken care of this younger brother."
Fu Xinglan thought of the boy he met in the First Academy before, and guessed that the boy had doubts at the first sight when he saw Tide, so he deliberately pretended to be kind and tried every means to get close to Tide.
This is not difficult to understand, Tide is good-looking and has a likable personality. If it is not subjective and biased from the beginning, it is difficult for anyone to dislike him.
Fu Xinglan turned to Xia Heran's personal profile page, and subconsciously frowned when he saw the gender column marked "alpha". He raised his hand and was about to continue scrolling back, but saw Ji Chengfeng beside him suddenly reached out and pressed the page he was about to turn over. .
Fu Xinglan was keenly aware of something, and frowned instantly: "What? Is there something wrong with this kid?"
Ji Chengfeng's complexion was not very good from the very beginning, Fu Xinglan only thought that he was treated as an illegitimate child because he found out about Chao Chao, and he was probably bullied a lot when he was a child, but now it seems that it is far more than that.
Ji Chengfeng nodded, clicked on the electronic screen page, and quickly cut into another investigation report.
"The news of the investigation of the buyer of the underground research institute came back," he said with a sullen face. "The one who sent Tide to the research institute for transformation is the same person who placed the 'that' order..."
"It's his brother in name."
Fu Xinglan's face darkened in an instant, and he slapped the table with a "boom": "What?!"
Fu Xinglan still remembers the content of those training|teaching back then.
What self-control "training", what disobedient "punishment", what crushing dignity, losing memory, destroying self-knowledge...
Even Gu Yanzhi on the side was a little surprised: "But...why? Doesn't he like tides? Didn't he just pretend since he was a child?"
"Don't speculate on perverted thoughts." Shen Yan remained expressionless, "It's also possible that you like it so much that you become obsessed."
Ji Chengfeng saw too much of this kind of thing, but he wasn't as surprised as they were. After thinking about it, he quickly connected the previous incident with Chao Chao's mother.
"Looking at it now, Lin Shuangxiang is probably the mother of Tide, and then Lin Shuangxiang was trapped in the empire at that time..." He paused, "If the old emperor knew about the existence of Tide, would he also have his idea?"
The Xia family's blood oath faded. They couldn't tell the secret directly, but they could deliberately leave openings to attract people to come to their door...
Even Yin Beichen couldn't help but be moved by the huge wealth and benefits that a native mermaid could bring, let alone such a short-sighted little Xia family.
Gu Yanzhi shook his head: "When two mermaids gather together, it is very likely that uncontrollable power erupts due to the echo of blood—just like what you experienced last time. Although Lin Shuangxiang probably still can't escape the Royal Research Institute, but It’s not so easy to keep the experiment secret from other people.”
"That makes more sense," Fu Xinglan said with squinted eyes. "The old emperor threatened Lin Shuangxiang to be obedient with the existence of Tide, and then sent Tide back to Xia's foster care, lest he suddenly hatch one day and cause an uncontrollable situation."
Ji Chengfeng nodded, and said, "The Xia family continues to raise Chao Tide so that it will not be corroded by the blood oath."
"So, the Xia family and the first prince may have reached a cooperation very early..."
He raised his head and exchanged glances with Fu Xinglan, "And they changed Tidal to oga, most likely because they were worried that Tidal hadn't differentiated at the age of 18, and the identity of the mermaid might not be concealed."
Fu Xinglan's face was gloomy, and he said: "Or, I want the tide to be marked by alpha, so that I can continue to threaten Lin Shuangxiang by controlling the tide."
If it's just body modification, there's absolutely no need to send him to a research institute of that nature...
Gu Yanzhi's expression was uncomfortable, and he was obviously disgusted: "How can people be so selfish?! The Xia family's current wealth, fame, food, and food are all left over from the previous mermaid clan, right?! The eldest prince is not relatives, not old friends. Forget it, how can Xia Shuran do it?! That's his younger brother who has loved him since he was a child..."
Shen Yan's eyes were terribly cold: "Probably because he is the younger brother."
Gu Yanzhi's expression was confused, and he obviously failed to understand the pervert's train of thought.
Ji Chengfeng understood instantly.
Precisely because he is just a younger brother, he can't touch him while looking at him every day, and he has to work hard to endure in front of him, pretending to be a good brother... day after day, he will probably go completely crazy.
The video call was made through Fu Xinglan's personal terminal. During this period, other video requests and text messages will also be prompted.
Fu Xinglan was about to continue talking, but heard a beep from the terminal.
At the same time, Ji Chengfeng's terminal also sounded an incoming message notification, and the two of them looked down at the same time.
"Yes." Fu Xinglan rubbed him, "But he will choose. He has already chosen since he promised Yin Beichen from the beginning."
Chao Chao quickly figured it out. Gu Yanzhi actually understood very early on that as long as he agreed to enter the First Prince's underground research institute, he would no longer have absolute freedom.
He used to have the opportunity to stay away from these things completely, but for Lin Shuangxiang, Gu Yanzhi was still willing to be "locked up".
Even if Fu Xinglan is willing to let him go now, Yin Beichen will not let him live freely somewhere. Fu Xinglan said that he wants to restrict his freedom. From another level, he is actually ensuring his safety.
"Even if it's not for those things," Fu Xinglan pinched Chao Chao's face, "as long as you're still here, he won't leave."
And even if Gu Yanzhi didn't think about these things on the spot, he could figure it out after thinking about it a little bit after returning home.
Chao Chao thought for a while: "Then he hasn't come to you to regret his previous choice. Does that mean he also likes wwid?"
Shen Yan also listened to it by the way, and interjected: "That's not necessarily true, he might just be annoyed by taking inhibitors, and find a free humanoid inhibitor by the way, which is non-toxic, harmless and has no side effects, and he is in a good mood It can also meet individual needs.”
Tidal was slightly startled, and quickly nodded suddenly: "Oh! So it's like this... I heard that inhibitors don't work well after being used for a long time. It's really more convenient to find an alpha directly."
Shen Yan nodded affirmatively: "Gu Yanzhi doesn't seem to mind being marked by anyone, anyway, wwid has marked him before, and he has won the trust of the marshal. It is obviously convenient, fast and efficient to continue looking for him."
Fu Xinglan and Luo Yunzhou on the side: "..."
Fu Xinglan silently pulled her innocent and lovely baby over and hugged her for a while, and at the same time gave Luo Yunzhou a sympathetic look - I don't know if Gu Yanzhi thinks so, anyway, your Shen Yan is serious and thorough "Wake up in the world", you won't be able to cheat for a while, so you should work hard on your own.
Luo Yunzhou: "..."
tidal:"?"
Fu Xinglan waited for Shen Yan to pack up his things, turned around to sort out the data, and then whispered in his ear: "If I didn't mark you, and you can change to another alpha, would you be able to accept it?"
Tidal shook his head.
Marshal Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief just now, when he heard Chao Chao take it for granted: "You are so compatible with me, why should I find someone else?"
Fu Xinglan suddenly had a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and he forced himself down and said, "Then what if there is another alpha who is highly compatible with you? Do you want to change?"
Tide was lost in thought.
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan gritted his teeth instantly, and carried him to the room.
The tide on his back finally broke into giggles, and Shen Yan and Luo Yunzhou looked at each other, and quickly shook their heads and left the room with a smile.
The blushing begging for mercy soon came from the house, and it didn't take long for it to turn into the little mermaid's confession one after another, mixed with crying and Fu Xinglan's hoarse response, repeated over and over again in the long night, as if to be engraved into the chest deepest.
Because of the identity leak, Chao Chao is temporarily unable to return to school normally.
Although it is impossible to never go out because of this, both Shen Yan and Gu Yanzhi feel that it is best to wait for everything to stabilize.
On the one hand, because hormone stabilization can only be achieved after the marking period is completed, for safety reasons, it is naturally not suitable to go out before that.
On the other hand, Marshal Fu's bipolar disorder is still recurring. The two were attacked not long ago, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out, so naturally they cannot be taken lightly.
Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, the situation is complicated now. Some people can't move Fu Xinglan, and if they are not good, they will make their minds on Chao Chao.
However, this situation should not last for a long time. Fu Xinglan has already started to take over the second army, and the proposal to compete for the commander-in-chief has also begun to prepare.
After all, it is the fusion of the two legions, and conflicts and conflicts are inevitable. Fu Xinglan held a rare and long video conference with Ji Chengfeng, Libra, and Roar, who was still in the First Legion's station, to discuss the details of the takeover work.
Shen Yan had nothing to do with him, but fortunately the result of the examination was really good, so he didn't say any more, he just said: "Although the index of bipolar disorder has temporarily come down, it's really not safe to go up and down like this. Complete the lifetime mark as soon as possible."
Fu Xinglan nodded: "I have no objection."
Ao's lifetime mark is different from temporary mark, only when the combination period is reached, alpha can form a knot and complete the mark.
Tidal pursed his lips, his ears were red and he didn't make a sound, but he obviously agreed.
He is not as thick-skinned as Fu Xinglan, and he is not like Shen Yan and Gu Yanzhi who completely study this kind of matter as an academic issue. When he thought of it while listening to the video class, he still couldn't help but blush.
"What's the matter, blushing like this?" A gentle voice suddenly came from beside my ear.
Startled, Chao Tide suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Xia Shuran.
He changed to online classes not long after the start of school, and didn't know the classmates at all. Fortunately, he met the senior before, so he was able to smoothly cooperate with various school tasks.
In the past few days, Xia Shuran helped him a lot by inquiring about various procedures, collecting books and materials, etc., and the two quickly became familiar with each other. Just seeing the other party's video request popped up, Chao Chao did not even think about it. "accept".
"Brother Huran," Chao Chao quickly straightened his expression, "Any more notices?"
Xia Shuran stretched and lay on the table to look sideways at him.
He was dressed in a white T-shirt, and he was playing with a pen casually in his hand. He looked warm and sunny in the lecture theater in the afternoon, and he was the campus male god in the minds of all oga when they were students.
"No notice," he said with a smile, "can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do? You stay at home every day now, and it's hard to meet you..."
"Didn't you just see it last week when you went to school to apply for the extension of online courses?" Chao Chao laughed.
He knew that Xia Shuran was just talking casually, not really complaining, but he still thanked him earnestly, "You have worked hard these few days."
"It's hard work, it's not hard work, it's just——I have something I want to tell you face to face..." Xia Yu suddenly paused, his expression became lighter, and his tone suddenly became serious, "Chao Chao, you know that you are a native mermaid, which means what?"
Tide's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Xia Shuran's changing expression, he vaguely realized something, and sat up slightly.
Just listen to the person on the other end of the video continue softly: "It means...you are probably from the Xia family."
He added, "It's my brother."
Chao Chao's expression froze, and his heart lifted.
Xia Shuran's tone seemed to have confirmed something...
Chao Chao's heartbeat quickened a little bit, and he said cautiously: "But, I heard that there are no more mermaids in the Xia family now..."
"It's just that they don't know..." Xia Shuran was in the middle of speaking, when someone suddenly entered the classroom, he swallowed back what he was going to say, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time we meet."
He showed a smile, his eyes were deep, clearly hiding many complicated emotions, but in the end he only said softly: "I heard that you lost your memory...Really, can't you remember at all?"
The next video class started, and the phone calls of the two were automatically hung up by the connected video.
Fu Xinglan went to the military headquarters for a meeting and hadn't come back yet. Chao Chao sat alone in front of the computer for a while, and when he came to his senses, the class was almost over.
He turned off the video, only to find that Xia Shuran had sent a lot of photos.
Tidal seemed to have a premonition somewhere, sat there and took several deep breaths before opening up the picture.
In the first one, a young boy is held in the arms of another older boy. The younger one is asleep, only half of his white and tender face is exposed, with thick and slender eyelashes, making him look very cute and cute.
In the second picture, the little boy has grown up a bit, wearing a small suit, and is being held by another half-grown boy who is also wearing a suit. He seems to have noticed someone photographing him, and smiled towards the camera, bending his eyes.
In the third picture, the little boy seems to have reached the age of going to school. He seems to be participating in some stage performance, holding a rose in a glass cover. The white shirt with lotus leaf collar makes him look like a little boy who came out of a fairy tale. prince.
The fourth, fifth...
As if the messed up jigsaw puzzle was pieced back to its original shape bit by bit, scenes of scenes flashed vaguely in Chao Chao's mind, and it seemed that these scattered pictures really brought back some memories.
Mermaids have memory from an earlier time than humans, and their memory is much better than humans.
He can even remember when he was an egg, he was placed in warm water, and someone talked to him every day.
Even if he couldn't understand the meaning of those words, he could easily tell the other party's joy and expectation for his coming to the world.
Then, after what seemed like a long time, he finally broke his shell.
The first time it got out of the eggshell, it met another pair of big black grape-like eyes.
The little mermaid recognized Yin Sui's nature in an instant, and cheered and posted it up...so enthusiastic that the four-year-old Xia Shuran was scared to tears.
Xiao Chao was extremely at a loss, staring blankly at him, very bewildered.
However, everyone was busy coaxing the young master of the Xia family who was frightened and crying, and no one cared about him.
The little mermaid baby turned his head and looked at the wall of the tank—the fish tank with a fat belly stretched his baby fat to three times the width, and the stupid hair on the top of his head was still limp and sticking to the side of his face...it was so ugly.
tidal:"!!!"
The little mermaid instantly understood the reason why the other party was frightened and cried, and shut herself up.
Fortunately, after a while, a specialized doctor came over, gently took him out of the fish tank, wiped him clean, checked his body, fed him, and put him to sleep.
Mermaids have inherited memories after they are born, and their childhood growth is much faster than that of humans.
Chao quickly forgot about this unpleasant experience, and turned to get closer to the doctor who took care of him.
Perhaps because of his young age, in Tide's memory, for a long time, he seemed to have been staying in a room without windows, and there was a pool as big as an ordinary bathtub in the room, and the doctor used that pool every day. Play with him in swimming and teach him how to conjure legs.
It wasn't until he was able to maintain his human form stably that he was allowed to see more people.
It was probably a banquet prepared for him, and Tide saw "father" and "mother" at the banquet, as well as the boy who seemed to have grown up.
"Father" was extremely excited about his appearance, wishing to hug him and show off to everyone in the banquet hall, but he didn't notice that his eldest son was following him all the time, his eyes chasing the babbling little tide in his hand all the way .
Xia Shuran was wearing a well-tailored small suit, with his head held up on the surface and a serious face like a little adult, but actually he was already a little impatient.
Don't you like me?Did you scare him last time?Don't like it now?
He tried his best to dawdle in front of the little mermaid for a long time, but he didn't see Tidal noticing him, so he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.After finally waiting for his father to get busy and finally intending to transfer him, Xia Shuran found an opportunity, awkwardly stepped forward and volunteered, and took him over from his father.
Xiaoxia was still three-headed, and she was very unskilled in holding Tide. Adding to her nervousness, she became even more rigid, as if she was afraid that the force would break Tide.
The father beside him casually ordered: "Heran, take your brother to play for a while, take good care of him, and don't lose him..."
The personal terminal in his hand suddenly vibrated, bringing Chao Chao back to God from his hazy memories.
He looked down, and saw that following the photos, Xia Shuran sent another sentence.
[sorry.Brother seems to have lost you. ][I'm at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion...can you come out and sit down? ]
Chapter 40 Tide tried to call Fu Xinglan twice, but the line was busy and he couldn't get through. He probably was having a video conference.
Fu Xinglan didn't limit his freedom. Chao Chao also went back to school alone a few days ago. He went back in a low-key manner and didn't stay in school for too long. Even if someone recognized him, he didn't cause any disturbance.
After all, this is the Capital Star Center, no matter how bold Yin Beichen is, he will not come here to kidnap him. Besides, after what happened at the airport last time, Ji Chengfeng has been sending people to protect him in secret. Strangers will never even try to get close to him. within five meters.
Therefore, even if Chao Chao was about to go out to meet Xia Shuran, he didn't need to inform anyone at first, but because Xia Shuran mentioned his mother, Chao Chao subconsciously felt a sense of disobedience for some reason, so he wanted to tell Fu Xinglan first.
He thought about it, and tried to call Gu Yanzhi again, but no one answered.
Gu Yanzhi's personal terminal was monitored by the empire, and he had already shut it down when he followed Ji Chengfeng back to the federation. He temporarily equipped a communicator with a non-real name, and never brought it into the laboratory because he was afraid of being eavesdropped.
Chao Chao remembered that last time Gu Yanzhi also said that he might be from the Xia family, and wanted to ask him if he had found any information, but the video request has not been connected, probably because the other party is still in the laboratory.
In this short period of time, Xia Shuran sent another message, saying that there were still many things left by the Xia family in the school, and wanted to take him to have a look.
[Today the school history museum is being demolished, and many things cannot be removed from the old building, and I guess they will not be seen in the future. ] He took a picture of the notice on the bulletin board, which was the notice of the First Academy's plan to rebuild the entire school history museum, and it was stamped with the school's seal.
Chao Chao also heard about this matter from Ji Chengfeng and the others before, and it is said that the demolition happened precisely because the items stored in the secret room of the school history museum by the First Legion were stolen.
The tide suddenly wavered even more.
Xia Shuran continued to work hard: [I finally relied on the relationship of the Xia family to ask the teacher to let people in... I just don't want you to leave regrets later, if you dare not go out alone, you can ask the marshal or someone to accompany you. ] Tide pursed his lips in thought.
Xia Shuran: [It belongs to your mother. ] Chao Chao seemed to have been knocked by someone in his heart, and finally couldn't sit still.
The reason why he was hesitant was because in those vague memories, although he did live with Xia Shuran or the Xia family, and even called each other by family...but he didn't really feel as warm as family.
But shouldn't mermaids have a blood connection?
When he saw Xia Shuran last time, he didn't feel anything else.
But Xia Shuran said "your mother" this time.
If they were really brothers, he should have called them "our mother".
Unless, Xia Shuran and his mother are not the same... Everything seems to make sense.
Tidal couldn't hold back and replied: [Where is my mother...? ] Xia Shuran: [I don't know.She is missing. ][We don't have the ability to find her, but maybe you can ask the marshal to help you when you get her things. ] Tide bit his lip and stood up: [Where are you?I am going now. ] Xia Shuran: [Your door. ] Tidal walked to the door, and soon came back, found something from the drawer, put it in his pocket, pasted it with a gland sticker, and sent another message to Fu Xinglan, then put on his hat and mask and went out...
Fu Xinglan's meeting went on all morning and didn't end.
It’s not that they couldn’t reach a consensus. Most of the generals of the First Legion had no objection to Fu Xinglan’s fight for the “commander” and said, “Anyway, if we don’t do anything, we will be stared at all day long. Why don’t we just stand upright and show them?” Voila."
For mc1, all the members of the First Legion hate it deeply. Libra was worried that a few people had personally hurt their relatives under the influence of mc1, and the pain they suffered was too great. As soon as Fu Xinglan finished speaking, everyone slapped the table and got angry.
"Of course we have to investigate to the end! How can someone deliberately study such a disgusting thing?!"
"The dignified prince of the empire, actually thinks the same way as those brainless Zerg? He should end up with the bugs!"
"How dare you bully our marshal's wife?! Really let the brothers tell him to be a man!"
Ji Chengfeng stood low-key in the crowd in the back row, thinking that your marshal's wife was not bullied much, but the fourth princess was slapped by our marshal unceremoniously, and was thrown on the rooftop for a whole night in the cold wind. Photos of the image were posted on the Internet, and my eyes were swollen from crying.
The research results that the eldest prince has worked hard for several years have all been emptied by us. We originally tossed a lot of circles to improve the competitiveness of the crown prince, but in the end we didn't get any extra points, and even deducted [-] points. Even the head of the research institute They were all kidnapped...
Miserable.
Fu Xinglan hurried back to accompany his wife. After awarding the rewards and punishments, he promoted Wwid who "failed to rush back to the Federation". He planned to adjourn the meeting today and discuss the details later.
As a result, Ji Xue'an called before he finished speaking, and immediately said: "The old emperor is seriously ill. He just issued an imperial edict, and the throne has been passed on to Yin Xining."
Fu Xinglan: "..."
Fu Xinglan replied nonchalantly: "Oh."
Ji Xuean went on to say: "The Third Army Corps has already rushed to the border of the empire. The president issued three recall orders, but Strong ignored them. If you want to find a legitimate reason to pass the commander-in-chief's proposal, this is the best time. "
Fu Xinglan paused: "When did Strong and Yin Xining get involved?"
"It's not Yin Xining." Ji Xue'an knew a little bit about the affairs of the empire, "it was Yin Beichen who wanted to force the palace and pulled Strong into the gang, probably because of something like 'I will help you become the emperor of the empire, and you help me become the federation. Commander' and the like."
The sassy and handsome female marshal shrugged and said, "Look, you can't be a commander in chief, some people want to be with their heads sharpened."
Without waiting for Fu Xinglan to have a chance to refute, she immediately interjected: "I reckoned that there was too much movement in the drill of the First and Second Legions, and Strong had noticed it. I knew that if I followed the normal procedure, I would not be able to compete with you, so I thought about it for a while." Crooked ways... If they really get their way, you and your little mermaid will be the first to be dealt with."
After all, if Strong wants to be the commander in chief, Fu Xinglan is the biggest competitor; and Yin Beichen—ordinary netizens may not know the twists and turns behind the previous incidents, but Ji Xue'an is very clear about Yin Beichen's little tricks. Man is clearly bound to win the tide.
Fu Xinglan sneered: "It's okay, if he doesn't come to me, I will go to him sooner or later."
"So," Ji Xue'an clapped her hands and got to the point, "Has our preparations been almost done?"
Since the first and second legions set up an open arena last time, there will be hundreds of matches every day.
It is true that there will be casualties, the arena adopts an online mecha simulation battle connected to the spiritual power, even remotely can participate, and the battle ranking will be published on the list.
Everyone is free to sign up, make free appointments, and can also choose to challenge the top players on the leaderboard. The name of the competition can be chosen at will, and the name of the legion marked on the back is real and cannot be changed.
Among the top ten on the current list, the first and second legions accounted for about four or six points, and the first legion accounted for [-]%. The main reason was that the top one and two had been untouchable almost since they joined the battle.
No. 2 is roar.
Roar didn't hide his identity. When he was on the list at the beginning, he received countless challenge applications every day. Now it's much better. Many people have sincerely admired this frequent First Legion lieutenant.
The attention of the second place is already so high, naturally more people guess the identity of the first place.
The display name of the number one list is startiwide. It is not that no one has suspected that it is Fu Xinglan, but looking at the number of startiwide's terrifying number of games-1057 wins, zero losses-almost double that of No.2roar, think about it. It is absolutely impossible to be the Marshal.
After all, Marshal's hot search is still hanging up. Everyone knows that he is busy robbing the Protection Association for his wife. Where did he get the time and mood to waste in the arena with them? !
However, in fact, Marshal Fu was tortured by depression and became restless. When he was locked in a small dark room and couldn't do anything, he happened to need to find someone to fight to vent.
So they played one game after another for three days.
He is aggressive, and usually ends the battle within 10 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes is a round, and the number of people who challenge the number one is more than the number two, so naturally he has played more games than Roar.
Fu Xinglan looked through the recent historical records of the ring. People from the Second Legion did not deliberately seek challenges from the First Legion. Most of them were soldiers who refused to admit defeat and challenged for high positions. It means sympathy and sympathy.
Fu Xinglan nodded, and replied: "It should be almost done, we can consider starting the formal handover procedure."
Ji Xue'an said: "That line, there are still some miscellaneous military affairs, you can send someone to check it out, record a system or something, and we will settle the bill..."
Libra and Soar are anxious to hear.
Didn't you just say you were going to chase the Third Army? !
Let's talk about it, the starship can probably travel half a planet away, and these trivial handover matters can be discussed later!
Soar is in charge of military affairs on weekdays. He deeply feels that a slight mistake on the battlefield may turn the tide of the battle. He is much more impatient than Libra. Hearing that the two marshals have begun to hand over various specific affairs, he finally couldn't help but interrupt: " Marshal... Didn't Marshal Ji just say that this is a good opportunity? Then should we hurry after it?"
Fu Xinglan and Ji Xuean turned to look at him at the same time.
"What's the hurry?" Ji Xue'an smiled, "at a time like this, of course we have to wait until they finish fighting, and then we go to reap the benefits."
Fu Xinglan obviously thought the same way, not to mention one Strong, even the two he didn't pay much attention to, and was nodding his head slowly, but he heard the flash of the communication in his hand, which was a message from Ji Chengfeng.
He raised his head and glanced at the crowd behind him, seeing Ji Chengfeng's uneasy expression from a distance, and gestured to him "check the news".
Fu Xinglan's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly found an excuse to hang up the video with Ji Xue'an, and after the meeting ended, he clicked on the message to check, but saw that it was Chao Chao's family information—[Gu Yanzhi asked from the teacher, Chao Chao should indeed He is from the "Xia family", but not from "the current Xia family". ]
The Xia family in the legend in Chapter 41 is not so much a mermaid bloodline, but rather - everyone in this family is actually a mermaid.
The reason why the Xia family went ashore to contact humans was to find a cure for desquamation with the help of human technology.
About every race, after a certain level of development, will encounter a "natural cleansing". Needless to say, generations of earth overlords who have been extinct in a long time ago, even human beings, if they hadn't evolved abo three genders, they would have been born in the interstellar world. It has disappeared from the pedigree of cosmic civilization before the beginning of the calendar.
The lifespan of mermaids is much longer than that of humans, but their reproductive ability is far inferior to that of humans. After suffering from desquamation with no known cause, the mermaid population is declining day by day, and there is a vague tendency of extinction.
They quietly entered human society, concealed their identities, and participated in certain social activities in order to find a way to continue the race with a higher economic and social status.
However, not all mermaids can adapt to life on land. Some of them gave up treatment and decided to return to the deep sea they are familiar with and love to enjoy the rest of their lives; The answer I want...
In the end, only the Xia family remained.
Nearly a hundred years ago, the Zerg began to invade human territory, and the last mermaid leader of the Xia family died accidentally during the battle with the Zerg.
At that time, his wife was just pregnant, and he didn't know if it was because of overthinking and losing the comfort of her lover, she also suffered from desquamation for no reason.
"That Mrs. Xia spent nearly 20 years looking for a cure everywhere, and only then did she meet Gu Yanzhi's teacher."
Everyone in the conference room dispersed, and Ji Chengfeng came over, connected to the video with Gu Yanzhi, and listened to him explain the more specific situation with Fu Xinglan.
Gu Yanzhi quickly went on to explain: "Drug research is different from ordinary inventions. It requires a lot of targeted attempts and clinical trials. It is obviously difficult to solve the disease that has plagued mermaids for nearly a hundred years."
Mrs. Xia was afraid that she would infect the fragile newborn baby, so she had to give birth to a mermaid egg in advance, and temporarily entrusted the last mermaid of the Xia family to a servant who had made a blood oath.
"And the current Xia family is actually the descendant of that servant. Because of the mermaid blood oath, it can indeed activate some mechanisms left by the mermaid, so it has always been mistaken for mermaid blood."
Gu Yanzhi said: "When the teacher parted with Mrs. Xia, he had actually found a research direction. Unfortunately, that lady disappeared later..."
In order to prevent Fu Xinglan from fluctuating too much, Shen Yan was also temporarily called over, and couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Could it be that... was caught by the emperor?"
Gu Yanzhi nodded: "I also suspect that the mermaid imprisoned in the First Prince's private research institute, that is, Lin Shuangxiang, should be Mrs. Xia in the teacher's description—although there is no photo left, her hair color is similar to that of Mrs. Xia. The looks match up."
Fu Xinglan focused on the other side, frowning slightly to confirm: "The egg that was born nearly a hundred years ago?"
"To be precise, it was about seventy years ago," Gu Yanzhi explained. "The mermaid's lifespan is long, and the mermaid eggs are not born at full term. It is estimated that they waited longer in the incubator... The old man of the Xia family who made a blood oath The servant passed away, and his descendants were born from generation to generation, and the effect of the blood oath was also diluted from generation to generation, until about 20 years ago..."
Ji Chengfeng obviously already had a deduction, so he opened the Xia family's data collected at this time, followed the tidal age and found the corresponding description—"16 years ago, the Xia family recognized an illegitimate child. It's over 2 years old, named Xia Xiran."
Xia Xiran.
tidal.
Gu Yanzhi looked around at the expressions of the people present. Obviously, after hearing the previous story, and then looking at the two names, everyone had the same guess.
He pursed his lips and guessed: "It's also possible that Chao Tide is his original name, and Xia Xiran's name was changed for him by the Xia family in order to deceive people."
Either way, that egg is most likely... Little Tide.
In order to protect him, his mother gave birth prematurely and put him in an incubator. He was not hatched until 18 years ago, and he was taken back by the "Xia Family" after waiting for two years to transform into a human.
Fu Xinglan frowned: "So... Chao Chao was raised as an illegitimate child of the Xia family?"
"Yes," Ji Chengfeng flipped through a few pages, and pushed the corresponding photos and text in front of him, "The blood oath is effective, the Xia family should not be able to intentionally reveal the identity of the tidal mermaid, and it is even very possible that even the current 'Xia Ma'am has been kept in the dark, and has always regarded Chao Chao as the illegitimate child of her husband outside, and her attitude towards him was not good since she was a child."
Fu Xinglan frowned more and more.
Ji Chengfeng's tone was complicated: "Xia Shuran has always taken care of this younger brother."
Fu Xinglan thought of the boy he met in the First Academy before, and guessed that the boy had doubts at the first sight when he saw Tide, so he deliberately pretended to be kind and tried every means to get close to Tide.
This is not difficult to understand, Tide is good-looking and has a likable personality. If it is not subjective and biased from the beginning, it is difficult for anyone to dislike him.
Fu Xinglan turned to Xia Heran's personal profile page, and subconsciously frowned when he saw the gender column marked "alpha". He raised his hand and was about to continue scrolling back, but saw Ji Chengfeng beside him suddenly reached out and pressed the page he was about to turn over. .
Fu Xinglan was keenly aware of something, and frowned instantly: "What? Is there something wrong with this kid?"
Ji Chengfeng's complexion was not very good from the very beginning, Fu Xinglan only thought that he was treated as an illegitimate child because he found out about Chao Chao, and he was probably bullied a lot when he was a child, but now it seems that it is far more than that.
Ji Chengfeng nodded, clicked on the electronic screen page, and quickly cut into another investigation report.
"The news of the investigation of the buyer of the underground research institute came back," he said with a sullen face. "The one who sent Tide to the research institute for transformation is the same person who placed the 'that' order..."
"It's his brother in name."
Fu Xinglan's face darkened in an instant, and he slapped the table with a "boom": "What?!"
Fu Xinglan still remembers the content of those training|teaching back then.
What self-control "training", what disobedient "punishment", what crushing dignity, losing memory, destroying self-knowledge...
Even Gu Yanzhi on the side was a little surprised: "But...why? Doesn't he like tides? Didn't he just pretend since he was a child?"
"Don't speculate on perverted thoughts." Shen Yan remained expressionless, "It's also possible that you like it so much that you become obsessed."
Ji Chengfeng saw too much of this kind of thing, but he wasn't as surprised as they were. After thinking about it, he quickly connected the previous incident with Chao Chao's mother.
"Looking at it now, Lin Shuangxiang is probably the mother of Tide, and then Lin Shuangxiang was trapped in the empire at that time..." He paused, "If the old emperor knew about the existence of Tide, would he also have his idea?"
The Xia family's blood oath faded. They couldn't tell the secret directly, but they could deliberately leave openings to attract people to come to their door...
Even Yin Beichen couldn't help but be moved by the huge wealth and benefits that a native mermaid could bring, let alone such a short-sighted little Xia family.
Gu Yanzhi shook his head: "When two mermaids gather together, it is very likely that uncontrollable power erupts due to the echo of blood—just like what you experienced last time. Although Lin Shuangxiang probably still can't escape the Royal Research Institute, but It’s not so easy to keep the experiment secret from other people.”
"That makes more sense," Fu Xinglan said with squinted eyes. "The old emperor threatened Lin Shuangxiang to be obedient with the existence of Tide, and then sent Tide back to Xia's foster care, lest he suddenly hatch one day and cause an uncontrollable situation."
Ji Chengfeng nodded, and said, "The Xia family continues to raise Chao Tide so that it will not be corroded by the blood oath."
"So, the Xia family and the first prince may have reached a cooperation very early..."
He raised his head and exchanged glances with Fu Xinglan, "And they changed Tidal to oga, most likely because they were worried that Tidal hadn't differentiated at the age of 18, and the identity of the mermaid might not be concealed."
Fu Xinglan's face was gloomy, and he said: "Or, I want the tide to be marked by alpha, so that I can continue to threaten Lin Shuangxiang by controlling the tide."
If it's just body modification, there's absolutely no need to send him to a research institute of that nature...
Gu Yanzhi's expression was uncomfortable, and he was obviously disgusted: "How can people be so selfish?! The Xia family's current wealth, fame, food, and food are all left over from the previous mermaid clan, right?! The eldest prince is not relatives, not old friends. Forget it, how can Xia Shuran do it?! That's his younger brother who has loved him since he was a child..."
Shen Yan's eyes were terribly cold: "Probably because he is the younger brother."
Gu Yanzhi's expression was confused, and he obviously failed to understand the pervert's train of thought.
Ji Chengfeng understood instantly.
Precisely because he is just a younger brother, he can't touch him while looking at him every day, and he has to work hard to endure in front of him, pretending to be a good brother... day after day, he will probably go completely crazy.
The video call was made through Fu Xinglan's personal terminal. During this period, other video requests and text messages will also be prompted.
Fu Xinglan was about to continue talking, but heard a beep from the terminal.
At the same time, Ji Chengfeng's terminal also sounded an incoming message notification, and the two of them looked down at the same time.
