He was about to step into the corridor when he suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked down at the large words "No Trespassing" on his chest.
Hmm... Could this "idle person" also include him?
Qin Chu entered the Royal Palace and walked familiarly towards the reception room.
The journey was extremely quiet.
Although there aren't many people in Roy's Palace usually, now even the occasional figure that appears has disappeared.
It seems that it really is a case of "don't bother me if you're not interested."
When Qin Chu arrived at the reception room, only Levi was standing there; even the butler was nowhere to be seen.
After glancing around, Qin Chu sat down in his usual seat.
Levy seemed to have been looking out the window just now, and he's still standing by the window.
"Are you alone today?" Qin Chu asked.
"Hmm." Levi nodded, "I'm afraid you'll make changes again if there are too many people around."
"You found out again?" Qin Chu's tone was cold.
He hasn't recovered his memory yet, so why is he pretending to be a big shot?
Levi chuckled softly and walked towards Qin Chu.
This time, it was just the two of them. He didn't take the main seat under the clock, but casually walked up to Qin Chu.
My trip to the psychiatry clinic a few days ago was not fruitful.
He was certain he had lost a piece of his memory, but no mental damage could be found.
This memory was lost very cleverly, and it had no impact on his life.
From the moment he entered the sleep pod and connected to the StarNet until he woke up, it was as if he had simply taken a nap; apart from the change of location, his life remained unchanged.
The memories of my past experiences are still there.
When he first came out of the virtual world, Levy may have noticed it, but he didn't dwell on the issue.
After all, he has always been easygoing and never cared about those false things.
But now, he can no longer think that way.
It seems he has lost something very important.
He couldn't remember what those things were, but he vividly remembered the important feeling.
Looking at the black-robed man in front of him, who had changed his appearance again, Levi rested his chin on one hand and leaned forward.
From this angle, he could already vaguely see the features of the man in the black robe.
But Levy knew that these were just useless appearances.
"Hey, tell the last story again."
“Tell me about it,” Levy said.
Qin Chu was slightly taken aback, then refused: "I only tell a story once."
Especially the previous story, I can't go into details, or he'll want to beat me up.
"Tsk, that's so demanding."
Levy sighed and leaned back in his chair.
The distance between him and the man in black robes suddenly increased again.
It seems a bit too far?
Distance is not a problem.
The man in black robes suddenly appeared at Roy Palace, told a story, and then left in a hurry, mysterious and even a little eerie.
They should have been wary of each other and suspicious of one another.
This relationship has continued from the first story to the present.
How many times did they meet in total?
Including the time spent telling stories, how long did we spend together in total?
But in such a short time, Levi suddenly felt, without any apparent reason, that the distance between them was now too great.
What if I don't understand what you've said in one explanation?
Levy bent down again and leaned forward.
The visitor seemed surprised that he would keep bringing up the previous story, and his fingers, hidden under his sleeve, curled up slightly.
Judging from the man's indifference, Levy thought he was going to either retort directly or simply ignore him.
But unexpectedly, the man in black was silent for a moment, then asked him, "What don't you understand?"
Why are you being so easy to talk to today?
Levi's lips curled into a smile: "That kid you were talking about, he..."
Just as he was about to ask, Levy paused again.
What did he want to ask? There seemed to be nothing he particularly needed to ask, yet he also seemed full of questions, wanting to ask about everything.
After a two-second pause, a question suddenly popped into my head as if by divine inspiration.
Levi blinked: "He's really just your brother?"
Qin Chu's breathing became slightly labored.
As if afraid he wouldn't understand, Levy added, "No other relationship?"
That's a really good question.
Qin Chu once thought that there was only one answer to this question: "No."
Unfortunately, things always seem to spiral out of control.
In the previous world, Qin Chu chose to leave the world after arriving at the imperial mausoleum.
He had stayed in this world for quite a while, so he slept in Noah's space for a period of time.
Before falling into a deep sleep, he gave Noah a task.
When he woke up, Noah had just handed him the retrieved data.
"Sir, here are the data records and experimental reports you requested."
Qin Chu said that Qin Rui's background seemed somewhat familiar, and Noah assumed that his investigation would focus on some ancient folk legends. However, to his surprise, Qin Chu asked him to retrieve some experimental data.
This experiment was stopped more than 30 years ago, before Qin Chu was even born.
It wasn't just a matter of time; the experimental file was sealed in the military's database, and Noah didn't even have permission to view it, relying on Qin Chu to provide a dynamic key.
Upon seeing the file number, Noah understood why Qin Chu remembered this inconspicuous experimental record.
This experiment was part of a carefully funded bioengineering project by an empire.
The purpose of this project is to enhance the human body, and it is divided into several different projects. This experiment is just one of them.
Given Qin Chu's age, he shouldn't have any connection with this project.
However, his parents, who were soldiers, and the entire First Legion, had a mission before their annihilation that was related to this bioengineering.
Qin Chu cleared his mind before accepting the information Noah was sending him.
When retrieving the data, Noah did not look at anything inside the data except for the labels and file headings.
He was somewhat curious, wondering what connection a technologically advanced human experiment could have with Qin Ruiqi's bizarre background.
But after watching for a while, Noah fell silent.
The project involved in this experiment was the fusion of human and alien genes.
The project stalled for a long time, mainly due to the difficulty in selecting suitable star beast species. After all, some star beasts have overly aggressive genes and are very difficult to obtain.
Years later, perhaps out of desperation due to a lack of progress, the project leader set his sights on the imperial family.
Legend has it that the empire's first emperor tamed a king-level star beast. There are even rumors that the imperial family is royal because they are descendants of that king-level star beast and humans.
According to Noah's calculations, such rumors are generally fabricated to consolidate the royal family's rule and are meant to deceive people.
However, with the support of the cabinet, the person in charge of the project actually obtained the royal-level star beast genes that had been sealed away.
Whether the royal legends are true or not, no one knows.
But they are preparing to create a rumored heir to the throne in the laboratory.
The laboratory selected a group of female volunteers, obtained their egg cells and isolated Star Beast genes for fusion culture, and attempted to artificially create a fertilized egg that combines a Star Beast and a human.
By this point, the experiment had begun to violate ethical standards.
However, the royal vacancy had been vacant for many years, and with the support of the cabinet, the experiment was not halted.
Currently, the in vitro culture technology for fertilized eggs is very advanced, and the several fertilized eggs screened in the experiment have all successfully developed.
However, there is a major drawback that cannot be eliminated: the ferocity of the star beasts.
No laboratory can withstand an attack from multiple king-level star beasts unless those beasts are obedient.
However, star beasts are untamable, so the royal legends can only remain legends.
The experiment suffered another setback because all the embryos that developed from the fertilized eggs were animal-like, and these embryos seemed to develop very quickly due to genetic mutations.
Even before birth, an embryo already possesses a fully developed consciousness and memory, and can convey clear emotional orientations.
All three embryos cultured in the laboratory were defective; they all exhibited uncontrollable aggression and hostility towards humans, posing a significant danger.
Ultimately, all three embryos were destroyed.
The original King-level Star Beast genes are no longer usable due to repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Only one fertilized egg remained from the previous step.
At this point, the project leader made a bold decision.
In order to foster the embryo's affinity for humans, he decided to place the fertilized egg into the body of the mother who provided the egg, so that the mother could nurture and soothe it.
This absurd yet audacious decision succeeded.
