The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 586 Illness - The End

Huan Xian did not lie to Jiang Hui; there really is only one of these things.

Currently, there is only one. And to manufacture and put it into use, it must go through a complicated process. First, a single individual needs to be implanted subcutaneously, and then a special unidirectional chain structure needs to be established. The materials used are expensive, and the time required may be several years... This time it was used up, and it is unknown whether it can be used again next time.

As for Jiang Hui's problem...

Huan Xian could certainly give it to others, but he couldn't guarantee that the outcome would be the same if it were given to the military, his guardian, or even Zhou Xiuwen.

Huan Xian never intended to test human nature. The reason for not choosing others was not because he felt they had malicious intent, but simply because probably no one's thoughts and stance were purer than Jiang Hui's; only she would purely hope that he could survive.

If asked who he trusts most in the world, Huan Xian would undoubtedly choose Jiang Hui without hesitation, without any reason or even rational analysis.

In fact, Huan Xian did not honestly tell Jiang Hui, nor did he tell anyone else, that he had deliberately allowed himself to be captured by the rebels.

He wanted to confirm something, something very important.

This matter has been weighing on his life, making it hard for him to breathe. Even though he has lost the emotions and thinking that a normal person should have, he still remembers what he has lost.

That tragic night, what those people took away from him forever.

Huan Xiancai suddenly realized that so many years had passed...

It turns out that even after all these years, he still hasn't let go. He still hates it to the core, so much so that he's willing to risk his life to find out what happened.

Jiang Hui, his only contact, was unaware of the situation but still chose to believe him and cooperate with his actions. His good fortune lay in the fact that she was willing to wait and trust him.

That person probably guessed this as well. He never did anything without being sure of success, so even with his personality, he took the initiative to contact Jiang Hui. He had even managed to get in touch with Jiang Hui, but in the end, the other party chose to respect his wishes and did not disrupt his crazy plan... Huan Xian couldn't quite describe what he felt—strange or relieved?
Subsequent events proved his choice was correct. Only Jiang Hui was right, only she was suitable, and Huan Xian never regretted his initial decision.

So in the end, it was only Jiang Hui, who was slow to realize the truth, who flew into a rage. Only then did she realize that she had almost caused her best friend's death. No matter how you look at it, this incident was terrifying. If she had known earlier, she probably wouldn't have been able to concentrate on her exams.

Jiang Hui was even more furious when she saw that the other party was completely unaware of his mistake. However, given the other party's current frail health, she knew that if she really hit him, he would probably lose half his life. So she could only suppress her anger and think about how to get revenge later when he recovered.

After a long while, she sat back down in her seat, looking deflated, her hands on her knees, and sighed, "You were too reckless this time. Don't do it again next time—"

Jiang Hui didn't know why the other party chose to believe her instead of anyone else or the directly connected military organization. What made him so distrustful of the outside world that he trusted her, this useless "messenger pigeon," was something else entirely. But she was certain that Huan Xian was risking his life this time.

If Zongting hadn't happened to witness it that day and directly contacted the military, they might not have been able to send personnel to rescue the dying Huan Xian so quickly. And why did he have so much faith in her? Heaven knows she really was just an ordinary student who hadn't even graduated from the intermediate academy yet.

Did the other party consider what would happen if the information were accidentally leaked and caused even worse consequences? Huan Xian's choice suggests he had his reasons, but not many, and it seems rather willful...

Jiang Hui hoped the other person would be more cautious next time, and even if they had other considerations, they should at least put their own life first. Ensuring their own survival was paramount; they shouldn't pin their hopes on others. That was unrealistic, both for the world and for him personally.

Huan Xian didn't refute this time, or rather, there were many things he didn't know how to tell Jiang Hui, nor was it necessary to. He only needed to know that the other party understood him, that the other party already understood him, and that was enough—to have such a friend.

"We're... well, we're kind of brothers in misfortune. What's going on? They're always targeting the two of us. I didn't get anything done on this trip and ended up with a bunch of injuries. Those rebels are no good."

"Yeah, it's not a good thing."

"Sigh, your friend is supposed to be stationed on the starship for the next couple of days, she won't run away... Don't let outsiders see our Counselor Zhou jumping around like this." Zhou Yuanjing said with a soft laugh, looking at the somewhat anxious person.

"When did I jump around?" the boy immediately retorted.

Over the years, Zhou Xiuwen has become increasingly mature, and the delicate and pampered young master he once was is rarely seen anymore. However, he has always appeared quite lively in front of Jiang Hui and others. Perhaps because of the arrival of his friends, he did not maintain the composed demeanor he usually displayed in the army, and instead showed a rare touch of youthful exuberance.

"Alright, go ahead and do what you need to do. I already know what you're talking about, and I'll handle it."

“Your two classmates have made a great contribution this time. If it weren’t for them, our defenses might have been severely damaged. I should personally visit them to express my gratitude. But I’m not able to entertain them for the next few days, so please entertain them for me,” Zhou Yuanjing said.

Even without Zhou Yuanjing's prompting, Zhou Xiuwen would naturally have treated Jiang Hui and Huan Xian well. However, he hadn't expected his father to agree so easily to let Jiang Hui join the Jian'an.

Others might not realize it, but Zhou Xiuwen knew all too well how important this warship was to his father. Aside from its own soldiers, the Jian'an, as the flagship, had almost never received any visitors. Yet now, in such a short time, it had welcomed several guests.

Huan Xian's arrival was expected, Zong Ting's visit was unexpected, and as for Jiang Hui... Zhou Xiuwen secretly glanced at Zhou Yuanjing, unable to discern anything from his father's calm expression. Surely, he couldn't say it was because of him?! Zhou Xiuwen himself couldn't believe it.

"Hurry up and go!" the elder said with a feigned frown and a smile.

Zhou Xiuwen was already worried about his two friends and was itching to hear about their respective "adventures." As soon as Zhou Yuanjing spoke, he quickly left, leaving only Zhou Yuanjing and Faria in the main command room to watch his retreating figure.
