My Endless Life.

Chapter 494 Memory
“Ahhhh!! No… don’t take my child away!!”

The little guy with silver hair and red eyes was eating the meal provided to him in the Marquis's mansion when he suddenly heard screams coming from outside.

The scream scared the little guy. He stood there in a daze with his hand holding the pastry. Then he jumped off the sofa, ran to the window and looked down.

But just as the little one stood by the window, a soft female voice came from behind him:

"Rich, what are you looking at?"

"Mom, what's going on down there?"

Richie, who was only five years old, looked at the maid struggling with the Marquis's guards below the Marquis's mansion, and asked his mother in a baby voice.

Zelia, who brought Richie to visit the Marquis's Mansion, also looked down.

She paused for a moment at the baby's face in the guard's hands, then explained:
"The maid's child was possessed by an alien soul, so we can't keep it."

"Alien soul?"

"Well, all external souls that do not belong to our universe and cannot bear the imprint of our universe on their souls are alien souls."

"Oh...are these 'alien souls' scary?"

Richie didn't understand that and turned to his mother to ask.

The mother stroked his soft silver hair and whispered, "It's terrible, because the strong among them will steal the most important things in our world and then leave this world, which will make our world weaker and weaker.

"Not only that, their existence will replace the soul that should have existed in your body. Simply put, it will make you no longer yourself, and your relatives will no longer be your relatives..."

"If Mom is possessed by an alien soul, will she no longer look like Mom?"

Richie's little brows knitted together as he asked worriedly.

Zelia smiled and said, "But no one dares to invade my body... But your understanding is correct. Once I am invaded by an alien soul, I will no longer be your mother."

"Then these alien souls are so bad!"

"Yes, so you have to stay by my side, by your brother's side... or by Sophie Yuna's side. Only in this way will you not be threatened by these bad souls."

Zelia comforts little Richie.

Richie grabbed her hand and asked worriedly:

"Then...what if Brother Yolin and Sister Sophie can't defeat the evil spirit?"

"It's okay." Zelia half-knelt in front of Richie, raised her finger and tapped his forehead, smiling: "I will protect you then."

……

"!!!"

The scene in his memory dissipated like smoke, and Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

The white ceiling and the smell of medicine in the air made Li Qi realize where he was. He sat up on the bed and looked into the room.

Sure enough, this is the infirmary of the mining star base.

"Are you awake? Please have some tea."

Li Qi's action attracted the attention of the intelligent robot that was cleaning the room. The barrel-shaped intelligent robot, half a person's height, slid in front of Li Qi, turned over its chest, and handed a cup of hot tea to Li Qi.

"Where is this..." Li Qi was about to ask.

The intelligent machine replied, "This is the medical aid station of the mining base. From the time you were taken to the aid station for treatment to now, a total of 4 hours, 52 minutes, and 36 seconds of federal time have passed... Do you need to notify your teammates?"

"Yes, please."

"You're welcome. I've already notified your teammates. Please be patient and wait. I'm going to clean the room now."

Seeing Li Qi taking the hot tea from him, the service-type intelligent machine turned around and continued to clean the room.

Compared to the Empire, which absolutely prohibits intelligent machines, the Federation has intelligent machines in all aspects.

Generally, people who are alone at home will equip themselves with a cleaning-type intelligent robot, or even a companion-type intelligent robot.

It’s just because Li Qi has Art at home that he didn’t buy any intelligent machines.

The omnic was cleaning the room. While waiting for his teammates to arrive, Li Qi recalled what happened before he fell into a coma, but unfortunately he only remembered that he seemed to be very angry because he was attacked.

He couldn't remember clearly what happened next.

On the contrary, Li Qi remembered the memories in his dream clearly.

"Alien soul..."

Recalling the conversation with his mother Zelia in the dream, Li Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

It was the first time he had heard of the concept of alien souls in this world.

This means that beings similar to the 'undead', whose souls can travel to this world, are not uncommon in this universe.

At least the top brass of the empire already have a way to determine whether a soul is native to this universe. Once it is detected to be an alien soul, that is, an 'alien' soul, it will be taken away by the upper echelons for disposal.

Just like the poor maid's child that Li Qi had seen in the Marquis's mansion.

But the problem is that if this is really the case, Li Qi should also be an alien soul!

Even if the world cannot detect my reincarnation ability, at least the undead core deep in my soul should be detected... Didn't the Sarnak family discover the undead core in their heads?
As Li Qi thought about it, he explored the depths of his soul.

He planned to check his soul core to see if the undead core inside was still there.

However, when his consciousness was immersed in the depths and communicating with the core of the Undead, his face suddenly turned pale and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

In Li Qi's perception, the undead core that belongs to him is now wrapped in layers of consciousness barriers.

Li Qi could not penetrate the consciousness barrier, but he could feel the power emanating from it, which was connected to his soul and blood. This was the barrier left by Zelia.

"It's not that they didn't find out...it's that they found out, but they didn't do anything about it?! Why?!"

When Li Qi felt the power left by Zelia in his head, he realized that Zelia had already known his identity as a time traveler.

Perhaps Zelia knew everything from the moment he was born.

However, even so, Zelia still treated him as her own child and gave him everything that a young master of the Sarnak family should have.

why?
Li Qi didn't understand.

He recalled the scene of the baby being treated that he saw when he was a child, and felt both uneasy and confused.

If Zelia already knew that Li Qi was a time traveler and an alien soul from outside the universe, then why did she still treat him as her own child?

Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but think of another thing.

In the Sarnak family, Li Qi is almost the most powerful person besides Zelia.

Because Zelia likes him, whatever Li Qi does is allowed.

But practicing the consciousness method alone is something that Zelia will not allow.

Could it be... because he is an alien soul, that Zelia doesn't want Li Qi to practice?
Is she protecting herself?
Li Qi covered his head and couldn't figure it out. If he was not in the federation now, he would probably have gone home overnight to find Zelia to find out the truth.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about these for now.

After the initial panic and confusion, Li Qi quickly calmed down.

No matter what Zelia thinks, since she has already recognized Li Qi's identity and raised him until now, it proves that Zelia has never intended to harm him, and the Sarnak family is still his backer.

Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to deal with this mission.

Although Li Qi had no memory of being attacked by the laser cannon, he could understand that in such a chaotic battlefield, if no one came to rescue him, he would basically not survive.

Given the situation at the time, it was almost impossible for anyone to save him. Thinking back to his memory that Zelia had mentioned that she would protect him, Li Qi guessed that Zelia must have left some backup plan in her body that allowed him to survive on the battlefield.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the college's top management should know that Li Qi's identity is not simple. After investigating Li Qi's information, they will be able to guess that Li Qi's information is not normal.

I'm afraid that federal officials will come to investigate him next.

Li Qi had to find a way to get around it.

"Damn you, mechanical beast! Why did you choose me?"

Li Qi felt so angry when he thought about having to deal with a federal investigation.

At that time, he was not very conspicuous on the battlefield. In order to avoid being targeted by the mechanical beasts, he deliberately lowered his flying altitude and cast the magic of light and shadow deflection.

At most, it's a little faster.

But who would have thought that the special individual mechanical beast would not attack the conspicuous bag in the sky, but instead try to catch Li Qi, who was the fastest.

Anyway, no matter what, Li Qi has made note of this grudge. After recovering from his injuries and making a breakthrough, Li Qi will try to find that special individual and then find a way to grind it to ashes!
Just as Li Qi was thinking this, the sliding door of the room was suddenly opened.

Li Qi thought it was Shen Cong and the others, but when he looked up, he saw a tall middle-aged man in a suit running towards him and hugged him in his arms:
"Kiri! Great, you're okay!"

"?"

Li Qi, who was held by the middle-aged man, suddenly had three question marks above his head.

No.

Uncle, who are you?

Li Qi looked confused.

Then a woman with a scar on her face walked in from outside the door. She said helplessly to the middle-aged man:
"Mr. Jetus, I understand how you feel about finding your nephew, but please stay calm. We still have some questions for Kiri-san."

The woman turned around and smiled at Li Qi, then said, "Hey, little brother, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"..."

Li Qi took a look at the woman and remembered her identity.

When the Martial Alliance attacked the mall before, it was this woman who came with the garrison corps to support. The giant hammer-shaped flying machine she used left a deep impression on Li Qi.

I didn't expect her to appear here now.

"Major Luo Qi, Kiri has just woken up. If you have any questions, please ask them later. I will take Kiri back to the Academy Star for a comprehensive examination. I will notify you when Kiri is feeling better."

The middle-aged man did not let Luo Qi question Li Qi. He stood up, pushed the small glasses on his nose, and spoke to Luo Qi calmly, showing the attitude of a superior.

Luo Qi looked at him deeply and said:

"Senator Jetus, you have to know that this incident involves a seventh-level mechanic who is not registered with the federal government. You can't just brush it off with a few words."

"I said, I want to take people away."

The middle-aged man named Jetus did not reason with Luo Qi. He just stood in front of Luo Qi and spoke word by word.

Luo Qi and Jetus looked at each other, and their eyes crossed and collided in the air.

In the end, perhaps due to Jetus's identity, Luo Qi let out a long breath and said softly:

"Okay, you can take your people away, but... during this time we will send someone to escort you and your nephew. I hope you won't embarrass us anymore."

Li Qi can leave, but he needs someone to watch over him. This is Luo Qi's last bottom line.
