Chu Chen and Ji Zi chatted merrily with each other,
which left San Yue Qi bewildered.
“???”
“What are they talking about?”
“I don’t understand a single word?!”
San Yue Qi listened to Ji Zi and the others,
her mind filled with question marks.
She simply couldn’t understand their words.
In her ears, their speech sounded like an alien language; she couldn’t comprehend anything.
“San Yue, what’s wrong?”
Just then, San Yue Qi tugged on Chu Chen’s arm, making him turn around involuntarily.
“That... I don’t seem to understand what they’re saying!”
“Chu Chen, how do you understand them?”
“Can you teach me?”
“It’s so awkward that I’m the only one who can’t understand!”
San Yue Qi quietly leaned towards Chu Chen’s ear and confessed her predicament.
“Uh...”
“You can’t understand their speech?”
Chu Chen was baffled upon hearing San Yue Qi’s words.
San Yue Qi couldn’t understand what Ji Zi and the others were saying.
Then, how could he understand?
And Dimo and Amy.
They clearly could understand as well.
“Could it be... because of the system?”
“If that’s the case, how can we make San Yue Qi understand what Ji Zi and the others are saying?”
Soon, Chu Chen guessed the reason and began to worry.
He, Dimo, and Amy probably gained the ability to communicate with other civilizations due to the system.
But San Yue Qi didn’t have the system’s blessing and couldn’t do the same.
“Mr. Chu Chen, Ms. San Yue Qi can’t understand our language, can she?”
“Why don’t you inject her with this empathy beacon?”
“That way, she’ll be able to understand the meaning of our words.”
Even though San Yue Qi’s whispers were soft,
they were heard by Walter, who was highly perceptive.
And he, who had already been injected with the empathy beacon, could naturally understand the meaning of San Yue Qi’s words.
He took out a very small syringe and handed it to Chu Chen.
“Empathy beacon?”
“Yes, I almost forgot about that!”
Chu Chen took the syringe, feeling delighted.
The empathy beacon was a piece of black technology invented by Elijah Salas, the 56th member of the Genius Club.
It could directly bypass the process of language transmission and directly translate the meaning of language into thoughts within one’s mind.
With it, one could easily understand the meaning of any language spoken by any civilization.
A truly groundbreaking invention!
“Come, San Yue!”
“Stick out your arm!”
“I’m going to give you a shot!”
Chu Chen pulled San Yue Qi’s hand and was about to roll up her sleeve to give her the injection.
“Wait, wait!”
“Why do you need to give me a shot?”
“Ugh, I’m scared!”
Seeing the needle in Chu Chen’s hand, shining with a cold light, San Yue Qi trembled in fear and quickly pulled her hand back, putting it behind her back.
A beautiful girl like her was terrified of needles.
Even though the syringe looked very tiny, very small, and somewhat cute, it probably wouldn’t hurt too much to be pricked by it.
But she still didn’t want to be injected.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s not some weird thing.”
“It’s an empathy beacon.”
“Once you’ve been injected with it, you’ll be able to understand any language spoken by any civilization.”
“Come on, be a good girl, stick out your arm.”
Seeing San Yue Qi’s frightened expression,
Chu Chen immediately explained in a gentle voice.
“Empathy beacon?”
“Can it help me understand their language?”
“Alright.”
“Then you have to be gentle, okay?”
After listening to Chu Chen’s explanation,
San Yue Qi obediently stuck out her arm,
then nervously closed her eyes.
Then, she felt a slight itching on her arm, as if she had been bitten by a mosquito,
and there was no other sensation.
“Is that it?”
“So fast?!”
San Yue Qi opened her eyes and saw that a tiny needle hole, almost invisible, had appeared on her arm at some point.
She looked at Chu Chen with surprise.
“Hehehe, Ms. San Yue Qi, this is a specially designed painless empathy beacon.”
“So, when injected, except for some special groups, there will be almost no noticeable pain.”
At this time, Ji Zi came to San Yue Qi’s side and explained to her with a smile.
“So that’s how it is.”
“It’s pretty thoughtful, huh?”
“Hey, I can understand your words, sister!”
“It’s so amazing.”
San Yue Qi was a little slow on the uptake, realizing that she could finally understand what Ji Zi was saying.
She couldn’t help but feel delighted.
“Ahem, I’m sorry to ask, but I wonder where all of you are from?”
“Or rather, do you belong to any organization?”
At this time, Walter stepped forward and began to inquire about Chu Chen’s origins.
“We are from!”
“From...”
“Uh... we don’t really know where we’re from!”
Hearing Walter’s question, San Yue Qi, who had been unable to get a word in, couldn’t help but want to answer.
However, after thinking for a long time, she didn’t know how to answer.
She didn’t know much about Chu Chen’s origins.
And as for her own origins, she knew even less.
“Hmm?”
“Is there something you’re reluctant to say?”
“I apologize, I overstepped my bounds.”
Walter saw San Yue Qi’s expression of difficulty and thought that he had asked something he shouldn’t have.
He quickly apologized to them.
“That’s not it.”
“It’s just that our origins are too extraordinary, and you may find them hard to understand.”
Chu Chen shook his head and took the question from San Yue Qi.
“We’d love to hear it!” Ji Zi said, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
She had long been interested in the origins of Chu Chen and his companions.
It was just that she hadn’t had a chance to ask.
Now that Walter had asked, it was exactly what she wanted.
“That’s a long story.”
“Let me start.”
“I’m from a world called the Locke Kingdom.”
“There...”
Seeing everyone’s curious looks, wanting to know about his origins,
Chu Chen didn’t hesitate,
and directly told them the backstory he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.
And they listened with rapt attention, even occasionally letting out a few exclamations.
“I never imagined Mr. Chu Chen would be from such a wondrous world.”
“You have truly opened our eyes.”
“It’s a pity that such a prosperous and glorious civilization could only perish in the end; it’s truly a cause for regret.”
After listening to Chu Chen’s story,
Walter, whose face was mature, steady, and handsome, couldn’t help but feel a little mournful.
He didn’t doubt that Chu Chen’s words were a fabricated lie.
Because he could feel the sincerity in Chu Chen’s voice.
And in fact, Chu Chen didn’t lie.
He simply explained the background story of the Locke Kingdom.
At most, he had added some artistic embellishment.
But the content was true and real.
So that wasn’t considered deception.
“Wuwuwuwu, I didn’t expect you to be so pitiful, Chu Chen.”
“Your home was destroyed by that evil Nightmare!”
“Even though you’ve never told me about your home before, you must be so sad, right?”
This was the first time San Yue Qi had heard Chu Chen tell the story of “home”,
and she was instantly moved to tears.
She never imagined that Chu Chen, who seemed so bright and cheerful, would have such a sad past.
His entire home was destroyed,
and he was the only survivor!
What kind of human suffering is this?
She couldn’t imagine how Chu Chen endured it,
it was too difficult!
If it were her, she would have gone crazy on the spot.
“Huh?”
“I’m sad?”
“What am I sad about?”
“The Locke Kingdom world was destroyed, what does that have to do with me, Chu Chen?”
“Even if you’re telling the truth, I wouldn’t be sad at all.”
“I’ve never been to that world, how can I feel sad?”
Seeing San Yue Qi staring at him with tearful eyes, looking so heartbroken,
Chu Chen felt a strange sensation in his heart.
At that moment, he almost thought he had really come from the Locke Kingdom world.
“Don’t be sad.”
“Although Mr. Chu Chen’s home world was destroyed.”
“The supreme beings of that world, however, joined forces to sow hope.”
“As long as the right time comes, I believe that Mr. Chu Chen’s home will be able to see the light of day again.”
Ji Zi walked to San Yue Qi’s side, patting her back to comfort her.
She then turned her attention to Dimo and Amy.
According to Chu Chen’s earlier statements,
although the Locke Kingdom world was destroyed by the villainous boss, Nightmare.
But the supreme gods and elf kings of that world joined forces and transformed the destroyed world into a seed,
which was entrusted to Chu Chen, the only survivor.
Therefore, with this seed of inheritance, the Locke Kingdom world would one day be able to reappear in Chu Chen’s hands.
Dimo and Amy, these two elves, were the best proof!
“To be able to transform an entire world into a seed.”
“I can’t imagine the power of those elf kings and supreme gods.”
“If they were to come to our world, they would probably be at least Star God level, wouldn’t they?”
After listening to Chu Chen’s story, even Dan Heng, who was usually a quiet man, couldn’t help but speak.
However, compared to these people who were surprised by the wonder of Chu Chen’s home world,
he was more shocked by the power of the supreme gods and elf kings that Chu Chen had mentioned.
Dan Heng had just heard,
that the world Chu Chen came from was not some unknown planet they had never been to before.
Or some strange space of unknown location.
But a real world.
Or rather, a new universe!
Yes, a new universe like their own.
It was not surprising that Dan Heng would draw this conclusion,
because as the administrator of the train’s knowledge base,
he already knew a lot.
He had once learned about the Imaginary Tree theory proposed by Genius Club’s number one, Zandall I San Yuan,
and knew that there were countless unknown star systems and worlds in this vast universe.
If there were so many unexplored star systems.
Then, it wouldn’t be impossible for there to be other universes beyond this one.
Dan Heng wouldn’t be naive enough to think that the universe he was in was the only one in existence.
