"Then what did you discover?" Cong Xiaoxiao asked in return.
I'm asking you!
Cong Xiaoxiao remained silent, instead watching Ling Yi.
"Are you afraid of me?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.
"It's not so much fear as it is caution, but rather a sense of vigilance towards the unknown."
"Interesting!" Ling Yi laughed.
You're the interesting one!
Zhao Yingtuo frowned. "Are you guys being silly? Is this even interesting?"
" Ling Yi, are you sure there are Parasitism in the city?" Zhao Yingtuo asked, frowning.
"I don't know about the others, but Liao Cheng is definitely Parasitism."
" Ling Yi, do you know what you're saying?" Zhao Yingtuo asked, raising his voice slightly.
Ling Yi shrugged. "Believe it or not, it's up to you!"
"It's not a matter of belief, it's simply impossible!"
Ling Yi didn't explain, but instead looked at Cong Xiaoxiao.
Cong Xiaoxiao then asked, "How did you know?"
"Secret!"
"Fine, let's not talk about it then."
Cong Xiaoxiao had long suspected that Ling Yi was a time traveler and that he possessed a cheat -Ling Yi like ability.
To Cong Xiaoxiao's dismay, her system had been silent ever since Ling Yi appeared, and there was no response no matter how she called it.
Clearly, he cowardly hid his own system.
In other words, Ling Yi's cheat ability is definitely much more advanced than hers.
At this point, Zhao Yingtuo realized that both Ling Yi and Cong Xiaoxiao harbored a great secret.
However, the two little ones' Ignore for him made him very frustrated.
The two seemed convinced that Commander Liao was a Parasitism.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate.
An elderly man with white hair walked in.
"Ahem, Director Zhao is here. Ahem, why didn't you call ahead today?" The old man looked unwell.
He coughs incessantly while speaking, and each cough seems to be in great pain.
"Grandpa!" Cong Xiaoxiao rushed over and patted the old man's back to help him catch his breath.
At the same time, a stream of Spiritual Power was injected into the old man's body.
The old man's expression softened, and he shook his head, saying, "Girl, don't waste your Spiritual Power!"
Cong Xiaoxiao stopped, not because she didn't want to give her grandfather more Spiritual Power, but because she was worried that he couldn't handle it.
" Elder Cong, are you alright?"
"Ahem, getting old, that's all!"
As he spoke, Elder Cong gently stroked Cong Xiaoxiao's hair and said, "I've been so grateful to Xiaoxiao all these years. If it weren't for this girl, I'm afraid I would have died years ago!"
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I won't let you die!"
"Nonsense! No one lives forever. I'm 102 years old! This year is my 50th birthday, and even if I don't make it through, I'll be content!"
"Come inside, everyone! Come inside!"
To Ling Yi's surprise, the room still used the most old-fashioned earthen kang (heated brick bed).
A table was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and on the table were a teapot and teacups.
The room's furnishings also have a very retro look.
It's just like the rural families in the 1980s and 90s of my previous life.
"Young man, do you know my Xiaoxiao?" the old man asked after everyone sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"We're classmates. My name is Ling Yi!"
" Ling Yi? Oh, so you're a descendant of a hero. Not bad, not bad!" The old man smiled with great satisfaction.
What do you think of my Xiaoxiao?
"Uh!" Ling Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment, feeling that the old man was on a different wavelength.
" Ling Yi and I are just classmates!" Cong Xiaoxiao explained.
"Really? I've never seen you bring any other classmates home."
"Grandpa, Ling Yi came with Director Zhao," Cong Xiaoxiao said helplessly.
"Is that so? What a pity, what a pity!"
"Grandpa, I'm angry!" Cong Xiaoxiao pouted.
Cong Xiaoxiao knew what her grandfather was thinking: he wanted to see her find a good family, get married, and have children before he died.
Especially in recent months, Grandpa's idea has become increasingly obvious.
Cong Xiaoxiao knew that her grandfather's health was failing and that Spiritual Power was not omnipotent.
It cannot grant Longevity. Even those Awakened have reached the Dao Practitioner Realm or even the Saint Realm cannot Longevity.
Let alone ordinary people.
Grandpa himself knew that his time was coming to an end.
That's why he's so anxious about Cong Xiaoxiao's marriage.
But she was only sixteen, and Cong Xiaoxiao had never even considered dating or getting married.
With her cheat-like abilities, she could reach the Saint Realm in two years at most and Ascension a higher world. She wouldn't be able to stay in this world for long.
But she couldn't tell anyone about these things!
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. You guys sit down first, I'll go cook."
"Grandpa, let me do it!"
"No need. You stay and chat with Director Zhao and the young man. I don't trust you to cook!"
The old man finished speaking and left.
"Since the old man lived before the Age of Mutant Beast, he is one of the few older generation who have witnessed the great changes on Blue Star," Zhao Yingtuo said with a sigh.
The Era of Mutant Beast begins in the year that "Dragon Fruit" tried to take advantage of Blue Star.
That is, exactly one hundred years ago.
The old man is over a hundred years old; hasn't he witnessed everything from the beginning of the Mutant Beast Era to the present?
"From the emergence of the Beast World, the shift in Earth's Magnetic Field, the adjustment of the moon's orbit, to the appearance of new Arctic, In-Betweener has had to fight not only Mutant Beast but also resist countless disasters."
"From the melting of the Arctic to global floods, followed by extreme cold and heat, and the great human migrations, the hardships involved are difficult for those who haven't experienced them to comprehend."
"The old man is a remarkable person!"
Ling Yi nodded, thinking to himself, "He's quite a Luck old man."
To survive so many disasters is truly Luck.
After a pause, Zhao Yingtuo looked at Ling Yi again and asked, " Liao Cheng, is he really Parasitism?"
"You can find out for yourself when you get back. It shouldn't be difficult for you!"
Director Zhao smiled wryly. It was easy to investigate, and he did indeed have methods to verify it.
But if Liao Cheng really is Parasitism, then that's troublesome.
Director Zhao glanced at Ling Yi, then at Cong Xiaoxiao, and sighed, "If what you say is true, then I don't know who I can trust anymore."
"I wonder how many high-ranking officials in Baihai City have become Parasitism. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine."
As he spoke, he took out a strangely shaped Shitou, but after seeing that the Shitou did not react, he put it away again.
Although Ling Yi and Cong Xiaoxiao didn't know what the Shitou was, they guessed that it was most likely something used to detect Parasitism.
As for whether it's accurate, I don't know.
Ling Yi didn't care about any of these things. As long as he had enough strength, he didn't care about any schemes or plots.
"Tell me about the Rule Seed!" Ling Yi asked.
Zhao Yingtuo thought for a moment and said, "According to the information I've gathered, there are a total of nine Rule Seed. Now, all nine Rule Seed have been born and have chosen hosts."
"The nine Rule Seed— metal, wood, water, fire, earth; light, darkness, time, and space—have all had their hosts protected, except for the Space Rule Seed Rule Seed."
"Their exact location and who they are are probably unknown to anyone except the highest-ranking officials in each country."
"As for the Space Rule Seed..." Zhao Yingtuo said, looking at Ling Yi.
"Don't look at me, I don't have Space Rule Seed!"
"Are you sure? But according to the information I found, the Space Rule Seed is most likely in Baihai City, and it's on you."
"Hehe!" Ling Yi simply chuckled without offering any further explanation.
Whether he is or not, he's already being watched.
It wasn't just Song Qiming, the eldest son of the Song family, who was secretly watching him.
Or rather, among all those who were watching him, Song Qiming was actually the weakest.
After Ling Yi's physique broke through 30,000, his five senses and six perceptions reached an extremely exaggerated level.
It could even be said that the five senses and six perceptions have been elevated to the level of Divine Ability.
Within a radius of one kilometer, anyone with power who is paying attention to you will be Perception.
By observing the opponent's Qi and Blood and blood and Spiritual Power, one can roughly determine their strength.
Except for Cong Xiaoxiao.
The woman's Aura was very strange; Ling Yi Perception not Perception her vital Qi and Blood or Spiritual Power.
Among those monitoring Ling Yi, there are more than a dozen experts at the Divine Ability Realm, but no one at the Venerable One Realm has been Perception yet.
However, behind these experts at the Divine Ability Realm, there are absolutely people arranged by experts at the Venerable One Realm.
For some reason, none of these people made a move.
They didn't even sense any hostility from these people.
Ironically, it was the weakest of them all Song Qiming, who was the only one who wanted him dead.
This made Ling Yi very curious.
I have a feeling that there are still some secrets about this Rule Seed that I don't know about.
This is also the main reason why Ling Yi wanted to ask Zhao Yingtuo.
Seeing Ling Yi's nonchalant attitude, Zhao Yingtuo really couldn't understand where Ling Yi's confidence came from.
"About two and a half years ago, I captured a Parasitism; to be precise, he was captured voluntarily..."
"Director Zhao, get to the point!" Ling Yi interrupted, frowning.
Good grief, they've been dawdling for almost an hour since we met, and haven't gotten to the point at all, have they?
He's not here to hear stories.
Zhao Yingtuo was momentarily taken aback by Ling Yi's question, then said helplessly, "According to the information that the Parasitism told me, the day the Rule Seed matures will be the day when the Mutant Beast launch a massive invasion."
"The host selected by the Rule Seed is actually just a carrier used to accelerate the seed's maturation."
"Once the Rule Seed matures, these hosts will inevitably die."
When Zhao Yingtuo finished speaking, Ling Yi could clearly see Cong Xiaoxiao roll her eyes.
This made Ling Yi chuckle.
It seems this girl knows more than Zhao Yingtuo!
"And whoever obtains the mature Rule Seed will achieve a leap in civilization!"
"And this is humanity's only chance to rise up and contend with the Exotic Beast Planet, or rather, the Mutant Beast civilization."
"The good news is that all nine Rule Seed are now within the human camp."
"Is it possible that only humans can make the Rule Seed mature?" Cong Xiaoxiao suddenly asked at this moment.
"You mean, it's not that the Rule Seed chose humans, but that the Rule Seed can only choose humans?" Zhao Yingtuo realized instantly.
He then clapped his hands and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Perhaps this is why the Exotic Beast Planet, despite having the power to crush humanity, has never launched a full-scale invasion."
At this moment, Ling Yi said, "Is it possible that these nine Rule Seed were originally planted by the Mutant Beast civilization?"
