It was only later that Xu Chu figured out that Claire was the marshal's son, and then he thought of the widow in black and all the rumors related to it.

Xu Chu turned his head and looked at No. 7 who was holding No. [-] to play with the little dragon cub, but he couldn't help showing a contemplative look on his face.

He still hasn't figured out what happened to No. 1.Apparently he has everything the Union Marshal has, appearance, identity, maybe even memory and emotion.Xu Chu remembered what Lilith had told him about the mimic beast devouring other creatures.But it was difficult for him to connect these with the situation of No. 1 at this time.

According to Lilith, it is understandable for Number One to obtain the appearance of the Alliance Marshal.But he shouldn't be able to obtain the marshal's memory.But before his arrival, No. [-] handled the marshal's work and life with ease.

Because of this, he once doubted the state of No. 1 at this time, but when he turned his head and saw No. 1 who was looking at him inadvertently, he dispelled these doubts.No. [-]'s attachment to him is obvious. Looking at such a person, it is difficult for him to convince himself that this is not No. [-].If he wasn't number one, who would it be?If it was someone else, how could he show such emotion to him?

While thinking, Xu Chu walked towards the other party.He took the little dragon cub from No. [-]'s arms, and then began to carry out daily repeated education.The growth of the little dragon cub was another problem that caused Xu Chu a headache.

Other little bugs can receive his orders and execute them as soon as they are born, but the little dragon cub can't even understand his words, just like a newborn human baby, but its action is much more terrifying than a human baby .If it cannot communicate, it will only act arbitrarily and be difficult to discipline.But he can't stop teaching it just because it doesn't understand, or I'm afraid that when it grows up, the problem will become more serious.

So he can only spare time every day to teach it language. If it destroys the things in the house because of playfulness, it will be punished, and the punishment is spanking.Just like today, it was playing around with No. [-] again, so before he signaled No. [-] to take off the diaper and beat its little butt hard.

But No. [-] obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with the little dragon cub, and the spanking was no different from a massage, so he had to do it again by himself.

While he was educating one of his sons, the other son stood beside him, looking at them gently.Xu Chu could feel the other party's gaze, and he knew that if he stretched out his tentacles to touch the other party lightly at this moment, he might still be able to see the shyness hidden behind the calm expression of the other party.

So apart from the different appearance, what is the difference between him and the previous No. 1?

Xu Chu let go of the little dragon cub who had been taught to tears, and let No. 7 take it to play, while telling him: "Don't let it bully you, if it goes too far, you can beat him up."

When No. 7 heard the words, he flew over to the little dragon cub, then grabbed it and took Xiaolu with him and flew away.

Xu Chu looked at the two of them and couldn't help sighing again, remembering the performance before No. 7.Only then did he realize that Number Seven lacked more than just IQ.Lilith has already passed his evolved data to him.Now No. [-] has reached the wisdom that ordinary people should have, which is probably why he was able to find this place, but he is still like a child.I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to truly become an independent individual.

After dealing with the three little things, Xu Chu waved to Claire.

Claire who was standing aside immediately came over and politely said to Xu Chu: "Sir."

Xu Chu liked Claire very much, so he pulled him to sit on the wicker chair beside him, and chatted with him for a while.He has gotten along with Claire before, and knows that this is a very obedient and well-behaved child, but there are some unknown rebellions in his bones

After chatting for a while, Xu Chu found that Claire was a little reserved in front of him this time, not as relaxed as last time.He thought about it, looked at No. [-] who stood aside and said nothing, and understood.

So he beckoned and called back No. 7 who was fighting with the little dragon cubs, then put No. 7 on Claire's shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Lu are all young. They are not sensible yet, and they may hurt each other when they play. Can you help me take care of them?"

Claire blinked, feeling the furry touch beside her ears, she couldn't help lowering her head with a bit of shyness on her face, "Okay, sir."

Seeing such a well-behaved Claire, Xu Chu couldn't help laughing.Such Claire seems to be a bit like No. 1 when she was a child.

So he handed the three little things to Claire—of course, it would be more enjoyable for children to get along with children.

Seeing Claire running in the courtyard again, Xu Chu suddenly said, "He looks very good, a bit like you when you were a child."

Hearing this, Chapman looked down at Xu Chu who was sitting on the wicker chair.He couldn't see the other person's expression from this angle, he could only see his side face.Xu Chu didn't look back at him, but still looked at the running child.

He just looked at Xu Chu like this, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to answer the words.Can he say that Claire has been more well-behaved since she was a child, or that Claire is actually more like Raphael?

He suddenly realized what the other party really wanted to ask.

Chapman looked at the other side's face in silence, but his palms couldn't help but start to sweat.

Xu Chu waited for a long time, but did not get a response from the other party.He turned his head and saw Number One with a tense face.Seeing the other party's nervous expression that couldn't be concealed, he couldn't help laughing.

He stretched out his hand to hold the other side's hand, and felt the sweat on the other side's palm, which made him a little surprised.He gently rubbed the other's palm with his fingertips, trying to wipe away the sweat, but his thoughts began to become a little messy.

He held the fingers of Chapman's palm and couldn't help but exert a little force.He felt as if something flashed through his mind, but he never caught it.

Just as he was deep in thought, the communicator suddenly rang.

Xu Chu blinked, then connected the communication, only to find that the person on the opposite side was actually Joan.

Joan in the video said anxiously to Xu Chu: "You should contact Josephine quickly, and don't let her try that unknown thing."

"What?" Xu Chu asked with a frown.

Seeing this, Joan took a deep breath, and then quickly explained: "There is something called a gene accelerator on the market, which is said to be able to adjust defective genes. But this thing appeared on the black market, and it was not recognized by any legal organization at all. Such a thing is too risky! But Josephine wants to use it, none of us can persuade her, and now only you can stop her. In the past, such things appeared from time to time, and Josephine has never been tempted. We all I know, this time she did it for you. For you, she mustered up the courage to take such a risk. "

As Joan spoke, her eyes gradually turned red, "Josephine won't let us tell you, she said that if she fails, she will tell you that she has returned to Capital Star. If she succeeds, don't tell you that she has All of this. But the chances of this thing failing are too high for us to take the risk of—"

After hearing this, Xu Chu tried hard to conceal his shock, and then promised Joan that he would contact Josephine immediately.

In fact, he just received a communication from Lilith today. Through the experiment on Josephine's gene sample he gave her at the beginning, Lilith confirmed that the gene accelerator can bring some help to Josephine's current situation, but the effect It will take a long time to show up.

He originally planned to tell Josephine after seeing her today, but now——

Xu Chu thought for a while, and finally dialed Josephine.

In the video, Josephine was in the airport, and she couldn't see any signs of taking a huge risk on her face. She just looked at Xu Chu with some surprise and said, "Are you done with your work? I wanted to tell you today, But, but my family told me to go back immediately, I was very anxious, so I left without saying hello to you."

Of course, it's not because her family members are anxious, but because she is anxious.And she didn't know how to tell Xu Chu about it face to face.She was afraid that if she didn't handle it well, the other party would become suspicious, so she decided to leave without saying goodbye.

Even so, she couldn't help being a little surprised when she received the communication request from the other party.

Seeing Josephine like this, Xu Chu had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know anything.He didn't actually intend to stop her, but he felt that he should dial this video call.

But after dialing, he didn't know what to say.

Now his feelings are very complicated. It's not like he didn't feel Josephine's vague affection for him, especially after Strange pointed it out.He also felt that as long as he didn't respond, such a faint favor should gradually dissipate.

But now everything came too suddenly, the other party's decision and his performance at this time were like a boulder weighing heavily on his heart.

Xu Chu could only try his best to cover up his complicated feelings, but smiled and said to Josephine: "Of course, family is the most important. You have been out for a long time, so you should go back and have a look."

Josephine smiled when she heard the words, and the two were silent for a while, then she said nervously: "I, I may go to some other places, maybe for a long time. Of course—"

Josephine said, with a smile on her face, "I may come back soon. If—I mean, if I come back soon, can you—"

Josephine in the video swallowed nervously, her face flushed with meaning, and then she continued: "If I come back, can you, can you go to the airport to pick me up then? "

After Josephine finished speaking, she looked at Xu Chu with shining eyes.The look in those eyes made it impossible for Xu Chu to refuse.

Then with Xu Chu's promise, Josephine happily turned off the video and boarded the spaceship to Nidero.

Turning off the video, Xu Chu was silent for a long time, but suddenly heard No. 1 on the side say: "The Clark family is not a good choice. There are so many people in their family. As the youngest daughter, Josephine Clark can't get too much money." Lots of support."

Xu Chu stood up when he heard the words, his thoughts were disturbed.For a while it was about No. 1, and for a while it was about Josephine.

He frowned and looked away, but his hand seemed to still have the touch of sweat from the number one hand before. After a long silence, he suddenly asked another unrelated matter, "You always slept far away back then." I am the farthest, every day when I wake up, I look very nervous and look at me for a long time, why?"

Chapman's breath was stagnant, and he shook his hands involuntarily. He searched his memory in a daze, but couldn't find the answer to the question.

Xu Chu waited for a long time, but did not get a response from the other party.His heart sank little by little, so heavy that he even felt a little hard to breathe.

Before leaving, he asked one last question: "If we go back to Quepenla now, will you come with me?"

Xu Chu turned his head and looked at No. [-], and it was no surprise that he saw the dodge in the other's eyes.

Then he turned away slightly and walked back to his room.

Xu Chu sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at everything outside the window, he couldn't help but think of what happened a long time ago when he first came to this world and had nothing.

They had a really hard time back then, coming back every day with fewer bugs than when they went out.They are only the size of a fingernail, and it takes a long time to climb out of this cave.But they still managed to bring him all kinds of food, sometimes grass roots, dead insects, and rotting flesh that looked like leftovers from other creatures.

That was already a big meal for them at that time.

He still remembered that he was very selfish at the beginning, although he was the one to enjoy what he got, but when they brought this kind of meat, he would cut off the most disgusting part of the outer layer and leave it for the bugs to eat.The inside looks slightly better when eaten by itself.

But even then, he could feel the joy of getting food from them.Especially the one that seemed to be slightly bigger than the other bugs, and even snatched the rotten meat from the mouths of other bugs, and brought them back to him.

That was Number One, and he had remembered it ever since.

If he remembered correctly, Number One was one of the first batch of worms he had, and stayed with him until he finally left.As far as he could remember, the boy had been the brightest and most loyal.He can give everything to it with confidence, and the other party has never lived up to his expectations.

So during the days when it was missing, he was always worried about whether something happened to the other party. He never suspected that it didn't want to come back to him.

But the fact is that it - or rather, "he" - is free.

Of course, if a person comes from a poor mountain village to a prosperous city and has a career and family there, it is understandable that he is unwilling to return to a small mountain village to live a poor life at the peak of his life.Of course, when children are young, they only know how to play at the lap of their parents. When they grow up, they will naturally desire more things in their hearts.No one can just want to stay in childhood forever.

Even if everything No. [-] has now, it didn't belong to him originally.But what could he do if his child were a thief, a robber?He had no choice but to be an accomplice.

But—what if there were other possibilities?

Xu Chu couldn't help but clenched his fingers tightly, looking at the distance with distracted eyes.
