My Endless Life.

Chapter 410 Stone Tablet
Li Qi said this, ignored Zhao Hong, and turned away.

Looking at Zhao Hong's expression, Li Qi knew that the matter ended here. He would not scold himself, nor would he punish himself.

After all, it was indeed those people who were wrong in this matter. As for what the higher-ups would think, that was not within Li Qi's scope of concern.

He went straight to find Yi Cheng and Xu Leying and asked them to stay in his room tonight.

After Li Qi arranged everything, he turned around and returned to the Dream Town.

Li Qi was still somewhat concerned about Yi Cheng's divination. He really wanted to know whether Li Qiao was okay.

"How long has Li Qiao been gone?"

After returning to Dream Town, Li Qi went to find Liu Cheng, the current deputy general manager of Dream Town, and asked about Li Qiao.

Liu Cheng, who was still familiar with the layout of the town, was not surprised to see Li Qi coming back. After recalling for a while, he replied:
"I've been gone for probably more than a day."

"Have you been back during this period?"

"I don't know. I don't pay much attention to them."

Liu Cheng answered truthfully.

The Dream Town is very big, and Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qiao left from their respective places. Even when they came back to replenish supplies, they only came in to rest for a while before leaving again.

During this period, Liu Cheng was getting familiar with the situation in Dream Town and really had no time to pay attention to the whereabouts of Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing.

Fortunately, someone has been paying attention to this matter.

"…Sister Li Qiao and Sister Sun never came back."

Kate's figure appeared beside Li Qi like a ghost, reporting the situation of Li Qiao and the others.

"I haven't been back..."

When Li Qi heard Kate say this, he knew that something might have happened to Li Qiao and the others.

Everyone knows the situation outside now. Even if you are in a room, it is easy to freeze to death if there is not enough heating.

What's more, Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing were outside exploring the way back to China. If not necessary, they would definitely return to the town to rest at night and go out to explore again the next day.

Now that he hasn't returned yet, something must have happened.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Li Qi had made a decision when he opened his eyes again.

He didn't say anything, turned around and went back to his room, lay on the bed and used his consciousness to connect to Li Qiao's artificial body.

Li Qiao's body was built by Li Qi himself, and in order to allow Li Qiao's soul to adapt quickly, that body also contained some of Li Qi's body tissue.

So as long as Li Qiao is not trapped in a particularly strange place, Li Qi should be able to communicate with her artificial body.

Through the special connection with the android, Li Qi could sense his own puppet body without any hindrance.

The good news is that Li Qi's soul can descend upon that 'account'.

The bad news is that the puppet's condition is not right. Li Qi feels that its movements are very "slow". Based on the response from the puppet, Li Qi guessed that Li Qiao should be trapped in a place where the flow of time is different.

This was not surprising to Li Qi. The flow of time in the foggy world was different from that in the outside world. He could easily guess what was going on.

"Where did this run to..."

Feeling Li Qiao's condition, Li Qi was also a little surprised.

So far, all the strange objects and pollution that Li Qi has seen have not involved time. He thought that there were no such strange objects related to time.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiao encountered something similar just two days after running away.

I just don't know whether it is the strange object or the pollution that trapped her.

Because the flow of time in the place where Li Qiao was was different from that in the outside world, Li Qi didn't dare to rush in so rashly.

Judging from the passage of time sensed by Li Qiao, the speed over there was obviously slower than that of the outside world. It was very likely that only one or two days had passed inside while several months had passed outside.

In order to avoid the situation where things have changed a lot when he comes out, Li Qi has to deal with things outside first.

He first went to find Liu Cheng and asked him to take good care of the town. Then he went out to find Yi Cheng and Xu Leying and asked them to temporarily obey Zhao Hong's orders.

Finally, he went to find Zhao Hong again and told him that he would be away for a while. Then he returned to the town and prepared to find Li Qiao.

The transfer of consciousness from one body to another is like switching login accounts. For Li Qi, it is just a matter of a blink of an eye.

However, unlike the previous time when he entered the puppet's body, there was some lag when he entered Li Qiao's body this time.

To put it in another way, it is like logging in with high latency.

Li Qi guessed that this was because the different speeds of time flow on both sides caused some obstacles.

But fortunately, the obstacle did not last long, and Li Qi's consciousness successfully descended into Li Qiao's body.

……

In the rainforest, Li Qiao, who was following the expedition team towards their "base camp", suddenly paused.

But then she returned to normal, following the troops, listening to them talking in a language she didn't understand.

On the surface, Li Qiao seemed to be listening to their conversation, but in fact, she was already chatting with someone in her heart.

"…Xiao An?"

"Sister, what happened here?"

In his consciousness, Li Qi's voice came into his mind. Hearing Li Qi's voice, Li Qiao relaxed a little unnoticeably, and then explained:
"...Xiaoqing and I accidentally entered an ancient site and were teleported here."

Li Qiao explained and told Li Qi about the expedition team and the different flow of time here.

The exploration team of the Alien Management Bureau?

Li Qi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he hadn't been able to join the official ancient ruins exploration team in the 057th Bureau, but Li Qiao met the official exploration team of another country here!
Li Qi, who had long wanted to visit the ancient ruins, could no longer suppress his curiosity about it and even wanted to explore it himself.

But Li Qi was also reluctant to use Li Qiao's body. It was not because of gender. She was already a monster who was hundreds of years old, and Li Qi did not attach much importance to gender factors.

The main reason was that he didn't want to take away Li Qiao's things.

After thinking for a while, Li Qi asked Li Qiao:
"Sister, is the little doll I asked you to bring still there?"

"You mean the doll? I left it with Xiaoqing."

"Give it to me, I can use it."

Li Qi instructed.

Li Qiao didn't ask the reason. She walked over to find Sun Xiaoqing and took out the palm-sized doll from Sun Xiaoqing's bag.

The doll is not big, only slightly larger than an adult's open palm.

It has a similar appearance to 'Officer' Li Qi, wearing a green military uniform and a saber hanging around his waist. Overall it looks like a well-made figure.

If seen by outsiders, they would probably think it was a character from an anime.

And this is the backup measure that Li Qi placed next to Li Qiao.

A 'clone puppet' that can move freely at critical moments without relying on Li Qiao's body.

However, since this clone doll does not contain Li Qi's flesh and blood, if Li Qi wants to enter it, he needs to go through Li Qiao's contact.

That's why he asked Li Qiao to take out the doll.

Li Qiao took out the well-made figure and put it in the middle pocket of his chest.

The moment you touch the figurine, it comes alive.

His blue eyes began to be filled with spirit, and his skin seemed to have vitality, no longer the plastic texture it had at the beginning.

Only after being able to move completely freely did Li Qi begin to pay attention to his current location.

The delicate sense of the puppet allowed Li Qi to smell the fragrance coming from Li Qiao, which made his face turn a little red.

The influence of the price follows consciousness. Li Qiao is Li Qi's biological sister... a former biological sister. This closer connection makes Li Qi's strange habits after being changed stir, and the influence of the price seems to be a bit greater.

Fortunately, Li Qiao didn't notice this, otherwise Li Qi would have been embarrassed in front of his sister.

By then, Li Qiao might tease me and say that I still can't leave my sister even at my age...

Shaking his little head, Li Qi threw away the messy thoughts and used the spirit seed to reinforce his current mental state.

Then he raised his head and looked around the rain forest with his puppet body.

The rainforest is very real, with wild animals and flying birds. According to Li Qiao, before they came, the expedition team encountered a giant python that only appeared in movies!

According to Sun Xiaoqing, it was just like the giant python in Anaconda had come into reality!
What’s even more terrifying is that they can’t use hot weapons!

There seems to be a restriction on hot weapons here. Pistols, rifles, grenades, flash bombs...all modern weapons and technologies cannot be used!
It's as if some rules restrict their use.

Without hot weapons, facing giant pythons that could swallow a person in one bite, the exploration team's demise was almost inevitable.

If Li Qiao hadn't been quick-witted and used "insect repellent powder" to drive away the python, all the people here would have been wiped out.

"Besides the python, are there any other...animals?"

"It seems there is another gorilla, a gorilla even bigger than the python. The exploration team encountered it before, but that gorilla didn't seem to be hostile to humans, so they escaped."

"King Kong?"

Li Qi uttered a noun.

Li Qiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what Sun Xiaoqing said."

When Li Qi heard this, the pretty little face on the figurine wrinkled.

First it was the giant python, then it was King Kong. Why do these things appearing in this rainforest feel a little... weird?
Li Qi hid in Li Qiao's chest, thinking about the problems of this rainforest.

At the same time, I was also listening to the conversation coming from the front.

The leader of the exploration team was originally a prestigious doctor of archaeology, but because he ran too slowly, he has now ended up in the giant python's belly.

The current leader is the screaming big wave that Li Qiao rescued.

She was talking to Sun Xiaoqing at the moment and was leading Sun Xiaoqing to the exploration team's temporary camping area in the rainforest.

Judging from the current contacts, this group of people have no ill will towards Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing.

The reason should not just be that Li Qiao just saved them.

It may also be because they noticed that Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing were carrying strange objects.

But no matter what the reason was, this group of people were quite friendly to Sun Xiaoqing and her friends. They took them to the camp in the rainforest after only meeting them once.

I followed this group of people for about ten minutes.

Li Qi finally saw their camp.

A huge tent temporarily built in a clearing in the forest and destroyed by a giant python.

However, what attracted Li Qi's attention was not the huge tent.

But it was the stone tablet standing behind the tent.

A black stone tablet surrounded by an arc, five in total.

Li Qi guessed that these stone tablets in front of him might be the purpose for the people from the Alien Management Bureau to come here.
