Chapter 416 The Only Choice
There is a saying on Earth that goes, "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land."
This phrase is used to describe the exciting experience of meeting old friends in a foreign land.
I felt very calm, but I was sure that the person opposite me was really excited and wanted to have physical contact with me.
The Governor used all sorts of bizarre words to insult me. He used Interstellar Common, mixed with various vulgar Moth Blue languages. He said I was an ugly ignorant fool and mentally retarded, he claimed that he had had sex with me, my supposed lover and direct creator many times , and that my offspring would all contain his genes, he announced that he had seen my last miserable state, and that my body would be thrown into the excrement cesspool in decay and decompose.
The following one thousand words are omitted.
I turned on the filter for interstellar civilization language, and the Governor's words were played with only the noise of "I'm telling you, you fucking beep-be ...
After I played ten games, the corpses of the Governor's chess pieces had covered the entire chessboard. The real Governor Solas finally yelled out all the dirty words he knew, describing no less than 48 bizarre ways I died. Finally, he asked me viciously, "What the hell do you want from me?"
I wouldn't look for you if there was nothing wrong.
I told him that I needed some data. Although I have recovered some data in my laboratory, I am not sure whether there is any modification by the mastermind behind it. The explosion in the laboratory was not very severe, but it left some traces of gravitational fluctuations at the galactic level when crossing the dimension. I must retrieve some observation records from interstellar observatories to compare the data records I collected. Some of the coordinates happened to be close to the Moth Blue Star, and Governor Solas had the authority to retrieve the records of the surrounding interstellar observatories.
"Get out!" the Governor answered me angrily.
This is normal . Considering the bad fate between my incarnation and the Governor, the Governor will not miss any opportunity to embarrass me.
"This may be related to the black box." I directly revealed my speculation.
"..." The other side fell silent, and then the Governor sent me a response, "I understand."
With these words, I knew he would definitely complete my request, but I still had to say what needed to be said: "Just call up the data for me, don't investigate too deeply on your own initiative." After all, this may involve the black box, and safety is still the top priority.
After another long silence, the other side responded.
"Do you know that you deserve a beating?" the Governor said coldly.
Communications were cut off.
I returned myself to Laura's reality. I remembered what Yan Zhen had just said to me.
I don't want to forget you, Mr. Air.
The boy's black eyes were shining like the morning dew on a summer morning.
His life is like morning dew in my eyes.
The life span of Homo sapiens Lola is extremely short. To me, his life is like the blink of an eye. He is too small and too fragile. The fragment in his brain is not something he can bear. Even if it is not the Black Box Society, the power contained in his fragment is enough to drive the entire galaxy into madness. Once the Black Box Society notices it... I dare not calculate the result. For safety reasons, when I retrieve the fragment, I must erase all memories of his relationship with me.
The adventures of these days were destined to be a summer dream that would fade away and be forgotten.
I will disappear from his memory.
But the boy's words "I don't want to forget you" made my mind very anxious, as if a hole was blown in my thinking matrix. Why was I upset about not being able to fulfill the boy's request? I think it must be the result of my incomplete thinking sequence and intellectual degeneration.
He must forget.
I returned to the boy's home.
…

Yan Zhen was standing in front of the window, looking intently at his garden. I followed his gaze and saw a kitten jumping lightly on the fence.
Cats are very common wild animals in the city of Lola's remote planet. They are furry and somewhat troublesome little creatures.
He sensed my arrival and asked, "Are there cats on other planets?"
[Intelligent creatures with similar appearances are called Altes in the interstellar world. 】
"Shit, there really are cats." He muttered, his eyes fixed on the kitten on the fence. The image in his mind at this moment was him hugging this furry little thing and petting it. He seemed to want to feel relaxed by stroking the soft fur of this little animal. Only then did I realize that he had such a high liking for cats.
【Do you like cats very much? 】
"Yeah, cats are cute."
【Then you can raise one. 】
Yan Zhen shook his head.
[If you like it so much, why don’t you raise it? 】
Yan Zhen looked at the kitten, which was now sniffing the bricks on the wall with its tail raised like an antenna. "My mother used to have a dog named Zhengyi. Later, Zhengyi died in an accident, and my parents were sad for a long time. If my cat left me, I would also be very sad." He narrowed his eyes, "The lifespan of small animals is too short."
【……】
"Of course, if cats could talk, I would definitely keep one." He turned around. He should not be able to see me, but I could feel his gaze on me. "Am I a short-lived creature in your eyes?"
[The life span of your species is indeed very limited. ]
"Tsk." He made a dissatisfied sound.
At this time, I received the investigation report from Ze Jinfa, which showed that the game Destiny Road in the Other Realm was an ordinary regular game that met all the approval procedures. It was not the kind of dangerous competition that I was worried about. The safety rating was extremely high, which meant that underage teenagers of a certain age were also allowed to enter the game. The investors of the game were shown to be the interstellar tycoon Mengsuo Group and the Kurov United Chamber of Commerce.
Ze Jin is indeed my reliable friend. In a short period of time, he clearly listed the structure of the Monso Group and Kurov's investment, and also provided the Bonya Interstellar Tax Center with the data package about the Destiny Road Alien Game.
It took me some time to process this data. I was analyzing it slower than I expected because of my current state and the fact that there was a humanoid creature next to me that kept chattering.
I had to stuff a flock of sheep into Yan Zhen's mind and force him not to bother me until he finished counting.
Then I was surprised to find that he angrily wrote names on the lambs in the theater in his mind: Stupid Mr. Air No. 1, Stupid Mr. Air No. 2, Stupid Mr. Air No. 3...
I'm too lazy to pay attention to him.
By midnight, I finally found something worth paying attention to.
On the surface, the largest controlling party of the Mengsuo Group is the Soba Interstellar Financial Institution, a well-known investment company of the Galactic Federation with a federal government background. In addition, about 55% of the shares belong to 1,672 small interstellar companies, which have injected funds through various interstellar banks and financial institutions. All the fund records seem to have no problems, or they seem to be extremely normal on the surface.
But I noticed something wrong. The 1,672 small interstellar companies are basically located in the same star region, so there is a high chance that one of them happens to use the same bank. But now the banks for the funds of these 1,672 small companies all belong to different banks, and no company has any overlap in the bank. This is like a standard declaration engraved on the face, "There is no relationship between us."
And perfect display often means wanting to hide something.
After analyzing this, I immediately began to sort out the cash flows of these companies, just like peeling an onion on the earth, tearing off its camouflage . Finally, I finally found the source of working capital of these small companies after peeling off more than a dozen layers of camouflage - there are three main sources of funds: one is the Kurov United Chamber of Commerce, one is Tianzhi Consulting Company, and one is the Giant Chamber of Commerce.
There is nothing unusual about these three companies in terms of their main business and capital flow. Kurov is an interstellar shipping and trading company with a thousand-year history, Tianzhi Consulting is backed by the Galactic Federation Environmental Investigation Bureau, and the Giant Spirit Chamber of Commerce has a close connection with the Eye of Supervision.
Am I really overthinking it?
Now I have the remaining ability to thoroughly explore these three companies, but it will take a lot of time.
I conjured up the fingers of a Homo sapiens in mid-air and separated them into several parallel thought beams for thinking and calculation.
In fact, the fact is very clear, the fastest way is for me to let Yan Zhen and his companions enter the alien game to investigate. Whether it is to collect intelligence or to obtain the repair props that I need most at the moment, letting Yan Zhen enter the game is the best choice.
Why am I so wary of this seemingly safe and legitimate game?
The game suddenly appeared in another world, which had the props I needed most, and it appeared right in front of me at the right time. The game seemed to have no problems, but it still made me doubtful...
Is it because I’m worried about Yan Zhen?
I took a look at Yan Zhen’s consciousness.
He fell asleep among the sheep named "Mr. Stupid Air". He looked like he was sleeping soundly with a smile on his face.
No, I told myself, I was just worried that something might go wrong with the fragments in his brain.
…
…
By the next day, letting Yan Zhen enter the game became the only option.
Yan Zhen’s classmates were drawn into this game.
