First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 972

 Chapter 972 The Origin of Long Yi

After putting the small medicine box into the groove, a different scene emerged in the originally empty secret room. What came into view was a long and dark passage.

Long Yi's eyes lit up the moment the passage appeared, like a child who had been away for many days and finally saw the harbor of home.

He couldn't wait to run into the passage.

Gu Jiao stepped forward to follow.

In fact, Gu Jiao has always been curious, where did such spaces come from, and how were they left in this time and space?

It is impossible to say that it was created by oneself. The developed energy and infrastructure in ancient times were not enough to open up such a base on one's own within ten or several decades.

Gu Jiao also considered whether it came from the research institute in her previous life, but this guess was quickly rejected by her.

 The equipment in the operating room is much more advanced than that in the institute.

Long Yi pushed open the door at the end of the passage, and a bright light came. Gu Jiao almost instinctively raised her hand to block the light.

Long Yi rushed into the room without hesitation, and Gu Jiao walked over after adapting to the light.

What surprised Gu Jiao was that this was not an operating room, but more like a fully equipped laboratory.

In the middle is a rectangular experimental table made of special metal. There is no object on the table. It looks like the godfather had taken care of it before he died.

 Except for the wall with the door, there are shelves about three meters high in front of the other three walls, with transparent glassware displayed on the shelves.

  In the vessel were some soils of different colors and compositions. Plants were successfully cultivated in some soils, while other soils were acidified and corrupted, with no plant life surviving.

 The second situation accounts for the vast majority.

 And these... are all for cultivating comfrey.

Looking at these failed experiments, Gu Jiao could almost imagine how the godfather planted comfrey again and again, failing again and again, until he finally fell into complete collapse and despair.

 There were no more discoveries in the laboratory, as if all the endless hardships had been deliberately erased by the godfather.

Long Yi came to the shelf on the right side of the door and pressed a switch on the wall. There was a clicking sound, as if some lock had been opened.

 Subsequently, Long Yi pushed forward.

It turns out there is an invisible door on that wall.

When Gu Jiao saw Long Yi entering the door, she followed him in without hesitation.

The scene before her eyes completely shocked her.

It is neither an operating room nor a laboratory, but a... small indoor playground.

The dragon opened his arms and jumped into a pool of blue and white ocean balls.

The man was too big to be submerged by the ocean ball, so he stuck his head in it.

 In addition to the ocean ball pool, there are also children's play facilities such as trampolines, cable bridges, rock climbing, and rainbow ladders.

However, if you take a closer look, you will see that these rides are different from those in shopping malls in previous generations. They are more difficult, have steeper slopes, and are accompanied by various data monitoring.

“So, is this a place for Long Yi to play or a place for training?” Gu Jiao murmured.

Long Yi went to ride his little wooden horse again, but unfortunately it was already very big. When he sat on it, his arms and legs were all shrunk, which made him feel very suffocated.

Even so, he still started to shake.

 Gu Jiao always felt that this place was more than just an indoor playground. As she was looking around, a mechanical sound suddenly came from above her head: "Beep~"

Immediately afterwards, a slender green light scanned over, first falling on Long Yi's body, sweeping from head to toe.

Then, the rotating detector on the top spoke: "Mengmeng, welcome home."

　　It's really called Mengmeng.

By the way, Long Yi was only five years old when he left. After so many years, how did it determine Long Yi's parameters?

While thinking about it, the green light of the detector scanned Gu Jiao's body. The light at the source of the instrument flashed twice, and the mechanical sound sounded again. This time, its tone was obviously cold: "Unidentified intruders have been found, do you want to remove them?"

 A whole row of gun muzzles emerged from the wall, all aimed at Gu Jiao!

Gu Jiao's eyebrows and heart skipped a beat.

The next second, Long stood up and went to catch Gu Jiao, but before he could make a move, the detector spoke.

 “System paused.”

"system error."

 “System restart.”

 “The system is overloaded.”

Gu Jiao didn't understand what was happening at all. After another mechanical sound, the detector drooped downwards and died.

 Eh, is the crisis resolved just like that?

Three seconds later, it turned on again, first retracting the gun, and then still scanning Long Yi.

This time, its tone was much lighter: "Mengmeng, today is a beautiful day, welcome home."

Then there was no more, and Gu Jiao was not scanned again.

 “Is the godfather here?” Gu Jiao asked it.

 It didn't answer.

"Is King here?" Gu Jiao called the godfather's code name in the organization.

It still didn't answer.

“Long Yi, talk to it.” Gu Jiao turned to Long Yi and said.

Long Yi raised his head and looked at him, thought for a while, and educated it seriously: "You have to speak."

It really responded, with a brisk tone and a hint of smile: "Mengmeng, do you want to chat?"

 “Jiaojiao has something to ask you.” Long Yi said.

  The detector began to scan Gu Jiao.

 “I found an unknown intruder, should I remove it?”

 “System paused.”

"system error."

 “System restart.”

 “The system is overloaded.”

 The detector crashed again.

Gu Jiao sighed: "It doesn't seem to be possible."

I also want to retrieve some information related to the Godfather from its database.

I don't know if there was a problem with the system or if the godfather had written an avoidance procedure. This person really left so cleanly that he didn't even leave a word to her.

But the trip was not without discoveries.

Long Yi took Gu Jiao to visit his bedroom. The place where he slept when he was a child turned out to be a sleeping chamber.

 The bottom of the dormant chamber records various characteristics of the life forms contained therein.

“K93 galaxy, intelligent life form, level, S.”

This is Long Yi?

 Long Yi is not from this time and space either.

 What is the level? Combat capability? No wonder Long Yi is so powerful?

 But how did the godfather meet such a powerful Long Yi?

 I always feel that it has something to do with the small medicine box.

Long Yi lay down in his hibernation chamber, folding his hands on his belly, obediently, with the same expression as when he was a child.

Gu Jiao asked him: "Long Yi, do you still remember the first time you met your father?"

 Long Yi shook his head.

Thinking of something, Long Yi sat up, went to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a photo of Gu Jiao's previous life.

In the photo, she is performing an undercover mission, with a cold expression, wearing a small red suspender skirt and a crescent moon jade pendant.

 It was the one she gave to Xuanyuan Qi.

After Long Yi's memory was wiped by the people in Jianlu, he still remembered the jade pendant in his subconscious. When he assassinated Xuanyuan Qi, he saw the jade pendant around Xuanyuan Qi's neck, so he gave up on his mission.

Gu Jiao pointed to the photo and asked, "Has your father ever told you who she is?"

 Long nodded and said solemnly: "He is the most important person in his life. He is someone I must protect when I meet him."

Xiao Heng was drinking tea with Chang Kun in the yard. He glanced in the direction of the house from time to time.

Chang Kun smiled and said, "If you are curious, you can go in and have a look."

Xiao Heng snorted coldly: "What am I curious about? I'm curious about a man who created Dark Night Island at all costs for my wife, planted comfrey, treated her better than I treated her, and made her miss her all day long! I'm just Not curious!”

Chang Kun: ...Then, stop shaking your legs before talking?

 It took a full hour for Gu Jiao and Long Yi to come out.

Xiao Heng's peripheral vision had already landed on Gu Jiao, and he pretended to be calm: "Have you finished reading?"

Gu Jiao snorted, feeling a little depressed.

When Xiao Heng saw her looking sad for another man, he was so crazy that he wanted to jump.

 He asked calmly: "Did you find anything?"

Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, he erased everything too cleanly, as if he was afraid that I would find something from here."

Xiao Heng raised his hand and gently touched her head: "He doesn't want you to be sad."

Xiao Heng felt that if it were him, he would definitely do the same thing.

 Everything he did was not to make her grateful. On the contrary, he hoped that she could live without any worries and burdens.

 So, she didn't need to know that he had been in hell, she just moved forward and saw the light.

The explanation of Dark Night Island is almost complete, and the extra progress bar is also halfway through. I'm happy.
