Chapter 289: Secret Language

~5 min read 900 words

"Is this Secret Language for dealing with the Alien Queen?" Du Zhengyi flipped through the children's picture book. "The story in this book is related to the Insect Race. The survival state of the Alien Seal Beast is somewhat similar to insects, so it's not hard to see that this is a bit targeted."

"I don't know, I can't say for sure." Luo Qi was almost exerting himself to think; he could recognize this Secret Language, but beyond that, he felt a bit lost. "What this Secret Language itself is actually for, I can't remember at all."

"Regardless, it must be related to the current situation," Du Zhengyi said calmly. "I suspect your parents left you a string of triggerable memory symbols. When you encounter group Telepaths like the Alien Seal Beast, it triggers your memory of childhood stories. When you recall this story about the Ant Queen, the picture book appears, and then the Secret Language hidden in the pictures is awakened in the depths of your memory."

"It might not necessarily be targeted at the Seal Beast; this Secret Language might have a general resistance to the Magic Array of a Mind Mage. I don't think my parents were that divine, being able to successfully predict today nearly twenty years ago." Although he said that, Luo Qi couldn't help but feel a bit excited; he had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

"That is indeed a possibility," Du Zhengyi nodded, stuffing the children's picture book back into Luo Qi's hands and patting him on the shoulder. "However, those things aren't important right now; as long as the Secret Language is useful, that's enough."

"I need to double-check it again. I can't read these ancient Secret Languages at all; if I miss a few symbols, it's all over." As he spoke, Luo Qi carefully flipped through the children's picture book again, trying hard to identify all the imaginative drawings. This task had a strange sense of familiarity. He gradually recalled that when he was a child, his parents spent a lot of time playing puzzle games with him. Thinking back now, his parents seemed to particularly enjoy having him solve puzzles. When he was very young, the entry-level version of the puzzle game was finding special shapes in pictures.

Luo Qi looked up, and Du Zhengyi's gaze turned toward him, steady and gentle. "My parents might have indeed taught me quite a few life-saving skills. They might have made a second plan to ensure that once I broke through the blockade myself and obtained Telepathy, I would still have some preparation."

"Are you trying to make me say 'the hearts of parents are pitiful'?" Du Zhengyi looked at him, puzzled. "Or do you want me to say for you that they were a pair of lunatics? You're too embarrassed to say it yourself?"

"Actually, there aren't that many lunatics in the world; everything has logic." Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi. At this moment, he knew he was looking at the shadow of Du Zhengyi; he was not Du Zhengyi, and he did not have Du Zhengyi's soul. "If they were no different from parents everywhere, everything they did was to protect me. In order to protect me, two Doctors actually abandoned their principles and fell into the conspiracies of politicians, all to kill you. Why?"

Du Zhengyi's eyes became somewhat distant. "Are you afraid? If you want to kill me, that would be too easy."

"Right." Luo Qi seemed to wake from a dream, and he murmured, "When I first met you, in that teahouse, you told me that the future is unpredictable. I mentioned to you that my aunt is a famous Calculator, and she firmly believes that the future can be predicted. But you said that even if the future can be calculated, once the future is known, it will naturally be modified, and once modified, the future becomes unpredictable. I think you were right; the future is a Chaos model, an unpredictable Chaos model. So no matter what future my parents saw, they acted, and the future was no longer the future they saw, right?"

"I'm actually curious how your parents linked us together? I mean, your future wouldn't necessarily have involved meeting me, right? If the future can really be calculated, then let me guess the calculation logic. Calculating from your birth, first add your parents and relatives into the Calculation Model. As you grow up, you meet friends, classmates, and so on; these people are constantly added to the Calculation Model. What Prediction must calculate is a dynamic model. This dynamic model only includes me as a parameter when I truly appear by your side. I never knew your mother, and the first time I met your father was when I was seriously injured and Pei Shu summoned your father to save me. He could only have thought I was a danger to you at that time. Does this mean your father was also involved in that incident three years ago? I have no memory of the circumstances of that incident three years ago at all. Was it your father who made the move during the treatment?" the shadow of Du Zhengyi said, every word and sentence speaking of the doubts in Luo Qi's own heart.

Luo Qi shivered and jumped up. "Regardless, let's first test just how powerful this Secret Language is!"
