Chapter 973 The Greatest Anomaly
At this moment, Qin Chong was filled with worry. If Chu Jiu had such a peculiar habit, should he uphold justice and stop Chu Jiu, or should he consider their friendship and indulge Chu Jiu?
Logically, he should have stopped it. But Chu Jiu had finally developed normal male... no, at least some male interests and hobbies, and Qin Chong really didn't want to forcibly suppress them...
"Please clear your mind of all filthy thoughts before you speak..."
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, even the usually indifferent Chu Jiu nearly lost his temper. He grabbed Qin Zhong's collar and said in an icy voice, "Make sure you recognize who she is. She is Xue Lingxue, the human girl who disappeared in Suzhou and is said to have memories of X-stars."
"What, Xue Lingxue?"
Hearing Chu Jiu's words, Qin Zhong was shocked. He reacted instantly, quickly walked to the girl's side, looked her over carefully, and said, "Hey, are you Xue Lingxue? If so, raise your head..."
"I am Xue Lingxue..."
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, the girl slowly raised her head, looked at Qin Zhong with her bright yet almost icy eyes, and said softly, "I remember you. You are Qin Zhong, the Star Lord of the Tiangang Organization. You... are you here to save me?"
"Hiss... It really is you, Xue Lingxue..."
Looking at that face, paler than ice and snow, and the faint look of panic and pleading on it, Qin Zhong suddenly felt his head start to ache again.
Xue Lingxue, a mysterious girl who brings both opportunities and destruction.
Even now, Qin Zhong still doesn't know whether this girl named Xue Lingxue is, as she claims, a person from Planet X with their soul sealed inside her, or whether she is actually a person from Planet X hiding in a human body.
However, he was very clear about one thing: this so-called Xue Lingxue was definitely a big problem.
Putting aside the fact that the X-stars are searching for her all over the world, the soul within her is a ticking time bomb. Once it explodes, even if it doesn't destroy the Tiangang organization, the Yiyang settlement will likely be wiped out.
"Xue Lingxue, where did you go after the battle that day? How did you leave?"
Qin Zhong took a deep breath, stared intently at Xue Lingxue's face, and asked, word by word, "Also, tell me first, is the one currently controlling this body the human girl Xue Lingxue, or Mengdakaluqi?"
"I...I am of course human...of course I am Xue Lingxue!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, a hint of panic flashed in Xue Lingxue's bright eyes. She gripped the iron cage bars tightly and hurriedly said, "That day, General Feng said there was going to be a war and told me to wait for him in the lab. So I sat alone in the lab waiting. Then, I heard a lot of explosions and shouts outside..."
As she spoke, Xue Lingxue's body trembled, and her voice trembled slightly: "I was terrified at the time, afraid that the base would be breached by monsters, and even more afraid that I would be captured by them. Then, a voice told me not to be afraid, that she would take care of me, protect me, and help me cope with all the hardships..."
"So, I inexplicably fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself in an iron cage, with many strange people asking me strange questions and forcing me to reveal the secrets of the X-planet people. When I tried to recall, I realized that I had completely forgotten all that knowledge and couldn't remember a single thing."
“I told them clearly, but they wouldn’t listen to me. They fed me medicine, wouldn’t let me sleep, wouldn’t feed me, and even hypnotized me, but I don’t remember anything, so how could I tell them? In the end, they realized they couldn’t get anything out of me, so they stopped asking me and locked me in a cage, feeding me every day until I was sent here.”
……
Xue Lingxue spoke with great sincerity, her voice trembling with excitement, which made Qin Zhong and Chu Jiu unsure whether her words were true.
After a long pause, Qin Zhong's expression suddenly hardened, and he asked, "You say you've forgotten everything? Then why do you still remember me? Is your amnesia selective?"
"No... I don't know why... I just don't remember anything about the X-planet people, but I really am human, I am Xue Lingxue, you have to believe me!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xue Lingxue shook her head vigorously and began to explain loudly.
However, Qin Chong and Chu Jiu exchanged a glance, ignoring her explanation and simply watching her quietly.
Only after she stopped struggling did Qin Chong say, "I'm sorry, for safety reasons, I can't let you leave until I confirm your identity. And if you do anything that arouses our suspicion, I won't be lenient..."
"you……"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xue Lingxue's face turned even paler, and she didn't know what to say next.
Qin Zhong and Chu Jiu exchanged a glance, then drove the vehicle carrying the Golden Eagle toward the research lab.
With a soft click of the door closing, the experimental subject storage area was plunged into darkness once more, leaving Xue Lingxue and numerous mutated beasts to endure the pain of imprisonment in the darkness.
"I thought you would let her out..."
On the drive to the lab, the doctor suddenly said, "I remember you seem to have a lot of sympathy for the weak, why is this an exception?"
"I have sympathy for her, and if possible, I would like to release her, but her potential threat is too great. No one knows whether she is controlled by a human soul or the soul of an X-planet. If we release her easily, it could cause irreparable harm to everyone."
Qin Zhong's lips twitched, and he said with a wry smile, "Now I have so many survivors under my command, and I have too many responsibilities on my shoulders. I can't act just based on my own preferences. Every decision I make is for their lives. So, even if my decision will hurt that girl, I have no choice but to do it. After all, one person's life is insignificant compared to the lives of so many people."
"Hehe, Brother Qin, you've finally grown up."
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Chu Jiu's expressionless face. She said, "Now you finally have the mindset and demeanor of an organization leader. It seems that after so many trials, you have become more and more mature. Don't feel guilty, because Xue Lingxue is very likely being controlled by the soul of that X-star person. Not letting her out is absolutely the right decision."
"Huh? How do you know she's being controlled by the soul of the X-planet people?"
Hearing Chu Jiu's words, Qin Zhong asked with great curiosity, "This girl looks no different from last time. I've been observing her for a long time, but I haven't noticed anything unusual."
"The biggest anomaly is the absence of any abnormalities." Chu Jiu opened the laboratory door with the remote control. Hu Meng had already arrived, and she was also very interested in the Golden Eagle after it was exposed to radiation.
Chu Jiu drove the transport truck, carrying Jin Ying into the huge laboratory, and said, "Although she portrayed the panic and fear she should have perfectly, she forgot one thing: a human girl, surrounded by various mutated beasts and zombies, could not possibly recount her past so calmly..."
