Chapter 529 - 258: Successful Collaboration (Part 2)
Understanding the concept of telekinesis is not too difficult, and Qiu Yexuan has studied it for many years, having some foundational knowledge, so it is naturally not a problem. However, all this is limited to the theoretical level, and if one wants to delve deeper into the research, it requires actual involvement at this level.
"Just like that?" Qiu Yexuan listened to her words, unwilling to believe that the problem that had troubled her for years was this simple.
"Of course not... this is just a simple explanation, the real content is behind it. However, I hope you’ll remember that this is a fair deal between us, I am showing my basic sincerity, and you should express yours as well, right?" Su Jiameng is no fool, even with a contract, she won’t completely trust it. For now, she’s just putting out a bit of bait to lure the fish.
"Uh... fine, indeed you’re not someone who suffers losses." Qiu Yexuan rubbed her chin and asked, "Since we’re partners now, can I know some things? For instance, why do you keep an eye on those guys? Is Shangguan Ruiqi’s death related to you?"
"Life is precious and brilliant like a flower. Those who trample on life for selfish reasons, regardless of their causes, are unforgivable! Though those nine are, in a broad sense, victims of these events, I cannot ignore their actions against innocents just because they are also victims." Su Jiameng added, "These nine were originally a product of a research institute driven by greed..."
Qiu Yexuan, of course, already knew the origins of the nine. Back then, the underground research lab had even invited her mentor, hoping she could join them in research to benefit humanity. Even she herself had received vague hints in her earlier years.
However, she did not know about the bloody and hidden past behind this matter, and... the Insect Race? Her teacher had mentioned these terrifying creatures before, and it was understandable why Su Jiameng avoided them like a plague. Thinking about this, she became even more curious about who Su Jiameng really was, to know so many obscure and secretive pieces of information was too unscientific.
Meanwhile, Zhu Mengtong, acting as the background character, felt her worldview undergoing an unprecedented shock—too damn fantastical! Watching the two talk so seriously, she found the atmosphere very off! Clearly, the two who had been at each other’s throats yesterday could now talk so cheerfully and warmly? Are they kidding her? But Zhu Mengtong didn’t dwell on it for long, as she quickly became distracted...
"So, you plan to take them all out? Don’t blame me for not warning you, the three you’ve investigated so far are nothing, the remaining ones are each more troublesome than the last, it can’t be done just with strength, you might very likely lose your life." Qiu Yexuan kindly reminded her, given that according to Su Jiameng’s previous words, she would only get some information after she disclosed each target. If she couldn’t make it to the end and got killed, the feeling of being stuck would be terrible.
"Some things need someone to do them, call it meddling or whatever, as long as it doesn’t go against your conscience." Su Jiameng didn’t mind much. This life of hers should have ended in the first lifetime, now after three lifetimes, she was already content.
"A rather stubborn guy." Qiu Yexuan suddenly noticed an interesting point and asked, "The woman from the Qian Family is far away in the Galaxy, even using military black holes and warships, it would take nearly half a year..."
With Su Jiameng’s efficiency, to take down nine persons and complete a collection, it would take years, traversing the entire universe.
"I naturally have my own ways, do your best and leave the rest to destiny, humans can do only so much..." Su Jiameng had little intention of staying in this place for long, but Qiu Yexuan was not someone who would easily let go. For her, living with nothing but her curiosity sparked wasn’t enough! Staying in a research institute all day long was too boring...
"Can I join your team? When I dissected and analyzed Shangguan Ruiqi, his genetic sequence intrigued me greatly. I wonder if the other eight have similar cases. Fresh bodies are best for dissecting." Qiu Yexuan offered eagerly.
Su Jiameng’s face twitched; she didn’t want to take someone with an excessive passion for dissection and research on her journey, who knows if she might find herself on the other’s operating table? Too dangerous, she wouldn’t be careless!
"If you don’t trust me, maybe make a scroll contract like before?" Qiu Yexuan suggested a way out.
