My Endless Life.

Chapter 188 What next?
Li Qi actually doesn't have much memory of his childhood.

Perhaps it was because the child’s brain capacity was insufficient, or perhaps it was because those memories were not important to Li Qi before his memory awakened.

In short, Li Qi has almost forgotten those memories.

But now when he heard Chris mention it, he miraculously recalled what happened.

When he was just born, he acted recklessly based on his child's instincts. Once, when he was lifted up by Gel to be looked at, he accidentally urinated on his face.

When they grow up a little, their childish nature begins to emerge.

Every day he goes out clean, and then comes out dirty, with mud all over his body from nowhere.

But every time Chris would patiently help him clean the dirt off his body.

When he was a little older, around seven or eight years old, because Chris and her family were always out and often didn't come home, he would get angry and make a mess of the house.

When he came back, Ger would lecture him angrily and sometimes even spank him.

Chris was also very angry, but she didn't say anything harsh to Li Qi. Instead, she told him earnestly that it was wrong to do so.

But he was still young at that time, and Li Qi had not recovered his memories of his previous life, so of course he didn't understand what they were talking about and just got angry on his own.

until……

They never returned after exploring the foggy area.

I don’t know if it was due to emotional stimulation or because Li Qi’s soul was strengthened in the last moments of his previous life, but his memory was awakened at that time.

He remembered everything, but also forgot the 'past'.

At this time, his past as a child became an unimportant memory to him, placed in a place deep in his mind where no one ever looked at it.

And covered with dust.

If I hadn't met Chris today, the dust on those memories would never have been wiped off.

Then the dust will gradually accumulate and solidify, eventually forming an indestructible and insurmountable barrier, burying the memory forever.

Li Qi didn't know what his mood was at the moment.

He just felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at Chris talking about him with great interest, Li Qi opened his mouth several times but didn't dare to tell her the fact that he was their child.

There's no need for that.

After all, he was about to leave.

Maybe it makes her feel that her children are living well outside, which is a kind of happiness for her.

"Ah, I wonder if Carol has taken good care of Li Qi... I really want to take a look at him, even just for a moment..."

At the end, Chris said with a rather melancholy tone.

Li Qi took a deep breath and said indifferently:
"Why think about these things? Anyway, we are trapped here and cannot leave..."

"That's true. We can only pray that little Richie eats well, studies hard, and listens to Carol."

As Chris said this, she actually clasped her hands together in a praying gesture.

Li Qi unconsciously put on a smile, but he quickly restrained it, stood up and said:

"You pray here, I'll go out for a walk."

"Do you want me to come with you? I can call Ger, and we can go to the grass field at the edge of the village to play together, and treat it as a spring outing."

"No need... Speaking of which, won't your husband be jealous if you come to my place?"

Li Qi turned around and asked.

Chris waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Ger is not such a stingy person, and...well, I don't know why, but I always feel that you are different from others."

"Ok?"

"I was thinking, if Li Qi grows up, he should be similar to you... tall, strong, and looks very beautiful... No, boys should be handsome..."

Chris said to herself, and then said to Li Qi: "Ger probably thought so too, so he allowed me to come and accompany you."

In the final analysis, they still felt that Li Qi was harmless to them, which was probably due to the blood connection.

But if it's a blood connection...

The blood connection between the descendants of the creator is very close. Logically speaking, Chris should be able to recognize that this is her child at the first sight of Li Qi.

But Chris didn't react.

Li Qi has two guesses about this.

First of all, Chris is fake.

Second point……

This entire End Village is fake!

Li Qi left now to confirm his guess.

The few days spent with Chris and the others had satisfied Li Qi's emotions, and his emotions, which had become overly sentimental, gradually calmed down.

So it's time to get down to business.

“…I’m leaving.”

After saying goodbye to Chris, Li Qi prepared to go out.

Chris asked, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"It depends... maybe..."

Maybe I won't come back.

Li Qi walked away without finishing his last words.

After enjoying a few days of peace, next... it's time to face the final boss.

……

Ronnie never imagined that the manor he saw was just an appearance.

Under the manor, there was a 'room' with a strange structure that he had never seen before!
The room was large and long, with huge jars placed on both sides. The jars were filled with liquid, and inside them were Tanwujia wearing different clothes.

Some of them wore the badges of the Tanwu family, which allowed Ronnie to recognize their Tanwu family rank.

This is also what shocked and frightened Ronnie! Most of the people here are Mist-level Mist Explorers, and some of them are wearing the badges of Black Mist-level Mist Explorers!

Seeing this, Ronnie instantly understood the identities of these people.

They... were all the fog explorers who had entered the sea of ​​fog before!
"they are……"

Ronnie looked at No. 5 who was leading the way in front and asked in shock.

Number Five replied:
"Without the core, we need energy to maintain the ecosystem of the entire Ark, and there is nothing more suitable to be an energy source than these Mist Explorers."

"energy……?"

"Oh, sorry you may not understand, um...if I use the word nutrients...maybe you can understand?"

Number Five was very 'thoughtful' to change the nouns in his speech.

After listening to this, Ronnie was stunned for two seconds before he understood what he meant, and immediately became angry:
"You mean... you treat them all as food!! You bastard——!"

Ronnie was so angry that he rushed towards No. 5 impulsively.

He wanted to grab No. 5 by the collar and teach him a lesson.

But unexpectedly, when he touched No. 5, he passed directly through No. 5's body.

"I am just a projection of the Ark system. I have no entity..."

Number Five said to Ronnie speechlessly.

He is the Ark's artificial intelligence, and the reason he appears here is because of the Ark's own projection system, which has no entity at all.

But having said that, he has the authority to control all functions within the Ark.

Including but not limited to 'space jump', 'gravity change', 'air production and circulation'...

It is even possible to fight the enemy in another way by manipulating certain parts inside the Ark.

Emma was bound by him in this way.

"you--!!"

Ronnie stared at Number Five fiercely.

But he was just helpless and furious.

After all, he has no means of influencing No. 5 now, at least before the hidden intelligence in the crystal in his chest wakes up, he has no means of influencing No. 5 in front of him.

Number Five waited patiently for Ronnie. After a while, seeing that Ronnie had calmed down a little, he said to Ronnie:
"I have read the history of mankind and I have a rough idea of ​​why you are so angry, but I want to ask you a question."

He came to Ronnie, pointed at the fog explorers who were being used as "batteries" and said:
"If I told you that only by doing this can the human race continue, would you still be so angry?"

“…Nonsense!!”

Ronnie retorted subconsciously.

Number Five's words reminded him of the Light Chasing Society. The people in that Society always talked about slogans like the continuation of humanity, but what they did in the end was completely different from what they said!
And so far, he has not seen that the Light Chasing Society has really found a way to allow the human race to continue!

Everything is just an excuse!

Yes, Number Five is just like the Light Chasing Society!
“…Without its core, the ‘Ark’ that remains in the sea of ​​fog will gradually lose its self-circulating ecosystem over a long period of time. Once the self-circulating system is lost, it will be almost impossible to rebuild it again.

"The ecosystem is related to whether humans can survive in the universe after leaving this world, so... I have no choice but to choose to turn some people with potential and talents into the 'core' that provides the energy source.

"Between sacrificing a part of humanity and abandoning all of humanity, I chose the former... My duty tells me that my choice is not wrong."

Number Five said calmly.

"I don't understand what you are saying! What should I do to get the teacher to come back so that you can let Emma go! Let these people go! Just tell me this!!"

"Simple."

Number Five pointed at the crystal on Ronnie's chest and said, "Give it to me."

"..."

Holding the crystal in his right hand, Ronnie hesitated for a moment, but soon he asked:

"how should I do?!"

Number Five has no physical body, so even if Ronnie gave him the crystal, he wouldn't be able to catch it.

Number Five retracted his hand and signaled to Ronnie:
"Just follow me."

After saying that, No. 5 walked deeper into the passage.

Walking through a long metal passage, Ronnie followed No. 5 into a spacious room.

The room was very large, probably even larger than the orphanage where Ronnie had lived in, in terms of floor space.

It is the kind that also includes the courtyard outside.

But in this empty room, there was only one thing.

It was a white energy column located in the center of the room, connected to the ceiling above and the ground below.

The interior of the cylinder was filled with white light, with occasional flashes of electricity.

There was an inclined platform in front of the white cylinder. Number Five stood next to the platform, pointed at a groove in the center of the platform, and said to Ronnie:

"Put your belongings here."

"Just put it on... and it will be fine?"

"Yes."

Number Five nodded, staring at Ronnie expressionlessly.

Ronnie held the crystal tightly and was about to take action, but suddenly he heard the voice of his teacher Li Qi.

"Then what?"

"teacher?!"

Ronnie turned around in surprise and saw Li Qi had come into the room without him noticing. He stood behind him, staring directly at No. 5 and asked softly:
"And what are you going to do with Ronnie?"

As soon as these words came out, Ronnie's pupils dilated instantly and he turned his head sharply to look at No. 5.

This guy... is hiding something from him!
