My Endless Life.

Chapter 587 Inquiry
There might be something wrong with the reason why Xinlian was sealed.

This is the conclusion Li Qi made after investigating various information about the ancient empire.

As the holder of the Heart of Love, he also mastered the rules related to "love". The previous owner of the Heart of Love must have been a popular person who was loved by everyone.

Even after she reached a realm above the ninth level, other people at the same level might not be able to resist her charm, let alone others.

As for the ancient emperors of the ancient empire, if their strength did not reach above the ninth level, it was normal for them to be deceived by their beloved previous master.

It is understandable that various disputes arise as a result.

Just like King Zhou and Daji.

But Li Qi couldn't be sure whether this was true or not. After all, the various information in the database came from "legends" whose authenticity could not be confirmed. In addition, Xinlian's memory was rather confusing, so Li Qi could only keep these guesses in his mind.

As to whether things are as he guessed, Li Qi still needs to investigate slowly.

Li Qi also had a rough idea of ​​how to investigate.

"Hello again, Sutina."

In the temporary training camp of the Imperial Army, Li Qi met Sutina, who had given up her pirate identity and joined the Imperial Army.

Although Li Qi really wanted to complain, letting a group of people who had lost their kingdom and territory lose their queen again... Isn't this a bit too irresponsible...

But since Sutina was not Li Qi's friend, Li Qi didn't interfere.

The main reason he came here was to inquire whether the twin mechas inherited by Sutina had awakened their self-awareness.

“……” When she saw Li Qi again, Sutina opened her mouth, not knowing how to address him.

She really wanted to call the other person's name directly, but the gap in status between the two was too great. Sutina herself had just broken through to the seventh level. If she dared to call the other person's name directly, she would probably be dragged out and executed for disrespect the next day.

Therefore, after a long silence, Sutina slowly said to Li Qi: "Your Highness...is there anything?"

Li Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard Sutina address him.

He wanted to joke and say, "I still prefer your previous rebellious look." But thinking of the strict hierarchy between the upper and lower classes in the empire, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Has the consciousness of the inheritance mecha in your body awakened?"

The heritage mecha will have so-called self-awareness, commonly known as the "machine soul". Only if the compatibility between the machine soul and the mecha is high can one gain the recognition of the heritage mecha and become the driver of the heritage mecha.

Just like Zhao Dongxue's Qingxue and Li Qi's Xinlian.

The twin mechas that Sutina obtained are one of the mechas inherited from the ancient empire, and they must have an organic soul.

If one wants to know why there was internal strife among the twelve inherited mechas, asking the parties involved is undoubtedly the fastest solution.

Although Xinlian's memory is confused because she spent too long in the World Sea, she can't remember clearly.

The Gemini mecha, which has remained in the interstellar world, should have some memories of the past.

Li Qi wanted to ask about the twin mechas, but to Li Qi's disappointment, Sutina replied after a moment of silence:
"I'm sorry, ever since I received this inherited mecha, I haven't been able to sense the mecha's consciousness inside..."

"Is it the same with Deya?"

"It seems so."

Sutina answered ambiguously.

After accepting the inheritance of the twin mechas together with Deya, a wonderful telepathy developed between the two.

Just as the name of the Gemini Mecha suggests, the two are like identical twins, able to sense each other's thoughts, emotions and attitudes towards others.

Because of this, Sutina could also vaguely sense the situation on Daya's side.

She said that Deya also hadn't awakened the mecha's self-awareness, so it was very likely that it was just as she said.

Since the soul of the twin mechas had not yet awakened, Li Qi had no mood to stay here any longer. After chatting with Sutina for a few words, he left the barracks, planning to find Zhao Dongxue to ask her when he had time.

Watching Li Qi leave, Sutina's eyes flickered.

She returned to her bed silently, and suddenly asked in her heart:
“…Is this okay?”

(The holder of the Heart of Love is not easy to deal with. If you still want to get him, just listen to me and do what I say.)
A deep male voice sounded in Sutina's heart. It was one of the two consciousnesses of the Gemini.

In fact, he had already woken up a long time ago, but for some unknown purpose and consideration, he chose to let Sutina keep the matter secret.

Including Dia's side.

Sutina originally didn't want to deceive Li Qi, but the twin mechas accurately grasped her pain points.

The Gemini Mecha said that if Sutina still wanted to get Li Qi and be the holder of the Heart of Love, then she had to conceal and pass on all the information about the Mecha as much as possible.

Therefore, in the end, Sutina's desire prevailed, and she chose to conceal it, just so that she could personally bring Li Qi to her side one day.

"So...what should I do next?"

(It’s very simple. Just keep practicing. According to what you said, the Empire is a difficult force to deal with. If you want to gain the most basic freedom, you must have at least the ninth level of strength.)
Whether it is getting the person you want, or escaping from the control of the empire and becoming a free man again, strength is a crucial part. Therefore, Sutina's current goal is to cultivate to the ninth level as soon as possible.

Although she was once a mechanic, and it was more difficult for her to practice after changing her job to become a mecha master, the existence of the twin mechas made up for the shortcomings.

What she had to do now was very simple. She first changed her consciousness patterns into the shape of a mecha master, and then... practiced step by step until she reached the ninth level.

……

"Just send it here."

At the border of the empire, Ephisia spoke to the escort teams sent by Sophiuna.

The leading mecha master in the escort team saluted respectfully to Effiecia: "Yes, I wish Your Highness Effie a safe journey."

"..."

Listening to the other party's blessing, Aphisia said nothing. She took her things, walked into the small single-person aircraft, then left the battleship and flew towards the Federation.

Ephisia is an exiled princess and has no right to stay in the empire unless the empress agrees.

And now that Ephissia has been sent back to the Federation, it proves that the Queen did not let her stay... Of course, it is also possible that the Queen simply does not care about the existence of Ephissia.

Therefore, Ephisia cannot continue to stay in the Empire. She must return to the Federation as soon as possible to avoid causing any other trouble.

Aifeisia didn't care much about these things originally, but now... Aifeisia is somewhat unwilling.

Because she had already learned from Sophie Yuna that Sophie and Li Qi's wedding had been brought forward.

Aphisia didn't know the specific reason, but she thought it was related to Li Qi's experience during this period.

Anyway, if it were Aphissia, after seeing that Li Qi attracted so many girls, she would probably not be able to resist wanting to confirm her relationship with Li Qi.

From this point of view, Ephisia and Sophiuna are worthy of being sisters. At least their ideas are somewhat similar.

But the more this happened, the more unwilling Ephisia became.

She was obviously the one who knew Li Qi first, and she and Li Qi were childhood sweethearts, so how come Sophie Yuna got there first for no apparent reason?

With such reluctance, Ephisia finally did not choose to jump back to the Federation via the normal route.

After the second long-distance jump, Ephisia chose the Darkest Sea as her destination.

She was going to find the Fuxing Society and Wuming who had always wanted to use her to do something.

She has come to her senses and realized that if she really wants to fight Sophiuna, she can't do it alone.

She must seek external help and have her own power.

……

Ephisia returned to the Federation, and Li Qi was probably the last to know about it.

Sophie Yuna didn't seem to want Li Qi to meet Effiesia, so Li Qi was not aware of Effie's departure. It was not until Li Qi asked about it that Sophie Yuna told Li Qi the news of Effie's departure.

Li Qi had nothing to say about this. Since Sophie didn't let him and Effie meet, then they wouldn't meet. They would see each other in the future anyway.

Compared to this, Li Qi still wants to figure out the problem about Xinlian.

Sutina's twin mechas have not woken up yet. If Li Qi wants to figure out what happened between the twelve inherited mechas, he must either wait for Xinlian to recover her memory or go to Zhao Dongxue to find out.

After thinking it over, Li Qi felt that it would be more reliable to go to Zhao Dongxue to ask clearly.

After all, Xinlian's motto is 'Don't think about what you can't figure out'. Rather than expecting her to remember something, it's better to hope that the Gemini Mecha can wake up soon.

However, Zhao Dongxue is in the Federation. If Li Qi wants to find her and ask her clearly, he needs to go to the Federation.

And now Li Qi and Sophie Yuna's wedding is about to take place. If he goes to the Federation at this time, not to mention the possibility of missing the wedding, it will be difficult to deal with Sophie Yuna, who is so jealous.

So no matter what, I have to wait until the wedding is over before considering meeting Zhao Dongxue.

(Oh, I suddenly understand why the holders of the Heart of Love in this generation are men...)
While Li Qi was thinking, Xinlian's sigh suddenly came.

Li Qi had helped her connect to the Internet of this world before, so that she could go online to find something interesting when she was bored. Now that she made such an exclamation, she must have figured out the current worldview.

Sure enough, Li Qi then heard Xinlian sigh:
(It turns out that men of your generation have become a vulnerable group... No wonder the love is for you.)
"To be precise, it's still the law of the jungle...it's just that there are more women at the top level now."

Li Qi explained casually.

The underlying logic of the world is still 'survival of the fittest', but in the past there have always been more strong men, but now women make up the majority of the top-level strong people, and the bottom level is also beginning to change in the direction of women being stronger and men being weaker.

In other words, this status quo will not exist forever. When one day the proportion of strong men once again becomes the majority, the world's pattern will surely change back again.

In the final analysis, whoever is stronger is right.
