There was no point in trying to test him, and there was no point in hiding anything. It was not that he did not want to, but he could not.
"I'm not nervous, and I'm not on guard. I just feel that there are no secrets in front of you. This gives me a very … bad feeling. It's too scary to talk to someone like you. My confidence has been severely damaged. Forget it, just ask whatever you want to know, and tell me what you want me to do, okay?"
Gao Qi meant that he could lie down and do whatever he wanted.
Yang Xu, on the other hand, seemed a little embarrassed.
"Uh, I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, but I have to tell you that I've received professional training. I've learned how to judge a person's mental state through their micro-expressions and body movements. In addition, I've also specially learned and trained how to talk. For example, I've set traps in my words so that the person I'm talking to will fall into them unknowingly. From there, I can completely control the rhythm of the conversation."
Yang Xu waved his hand and said sincerely, "So don't think that you're an idiot, and don't think that you're mentally handicapped. The smarter you are, the easier it is for you to be misled by people like us. In serious cases, you might even start to doubt your life. In fact, this is the difference between a professional and an unprofessional. Training has an advantage over training. Don't feel inferior because of this, and don't lose your confidence."
"Are you that kind of person?"
"Well, in layman's terms, I'm a professional intelligence worker. I'm really the head of the technical intelligence department of City One's Intelligence Bureau."
Gao Qi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, thank you for telling me all this. I feel much better now. Now, let's continue talking."
"Well, I'll start from the beginning. We've never met, but I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Because after the first energy explosion, I was one of the first people to investigate Zhaoxi City. I have your information, provided by Zhaoxi City."
Yang Xu opened his briefcase and took out a stack of documents. "Look, here are your photos and your performance at the shooting range. The first time I saw your information, I remembered you."
"Why?"
"Because your marksmanship is outstanding. Uh, to put it another way, a natural sharpshooter will naturally attract attention. However, during the second energy explosion, you were at the scene, and you killed a mutant."
Gao Qi asked in disbelief, "How do you know all of this?"
"That's not the main point. The main point is that you're still at the scene. You said that you've awakened, but Huang Fei said that you haven't. This is still the information given by Morning Dawn City."
Yang Xu said with a serious expression, "Normally, the first time is a coincidence, but the second time is not a coincidence. If it happened three times, then it is definitely not a coincidence. The third energy wave was caused by the Arctic Lord, but the problem is that Huang Fei was severely injured, and you were right next to him."
Gao Qi also wanted to ask Yang Xu why he knew so clearly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.
"I knew at the time that you were different, but I didn't know what was different about you. So, I decided to place a few spies in Morning Dawn City to keep an eye on your every move. However, I didn't know what you experienced in the Wilderness. As for when you went to Fog City to meet Bernhard, I didn't know about that at the time, but after some effort, I pieced together your experience. It took some time."
Gao Qi said in a daze, "You've been monitoring me?"
"No, no, no. It's not like I've been monitoring you all the time. I just found out after the investigation. However, that's not important. Really, it's not important."
Yang Xu appeared to be very sincere. He said solemnly, "When you and Grandpa Tree fought outside Morning Dawn City and triggered the true third energy wave, I knew it was you. You are the hope we have been looking for."
"Hope?"
Yang Xu smiled and said, "Yes, hope. It's a possibility. I'll continue to tell you why you're hope. First, let's talk about the changes in this world. We have controllable nuclear fusion, alien spaceships, genetic warriors, and mutants. However, what do you think these will do in the doomsday crisis eight years later?"
"It's useless."
"We all think so. It's useless, but we have to think of a way, right? We can't just wait for death. Even if a savior appears, we're still the ones who can save humanity in the end. So, what can we do? Other than desperately increasing our strength and preparing for war, we have to have a backup plan. For example, if we really can't win, what should we do?"
"What should we do?"
Gao Qi really wanted to know what to do. However, Yang Xu smiled and said, "I don't know what to do, but one of the ideas is a spatial gate. Since the alien beasts can come through the spatial gate, can we go through the spatial gate?"
Gao Qi vaguely knew what Yang Xu was thinking. He asked in surprise, "You want to go through the spatial gate and snatch the alien beasts' world?"
"Why not?"
After asking seriously, Yang Xu said in confusion, "The savior said that the aliens will launch a second attack, and Earth will eventually be destroyed. Take note, it's Earth that will be destroyed, not humanity. This is a big difference. If Earth, which houses us, is gone, how can humans survive on Earth? Alright, since that's the case, why can't we find a new world to establish ourselves in? "
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, "Yes, that makes sense. Why not?"
"But let's not talk about eight years. Even if we have another eight hundred years, we won't be able to develop the space jump technology. So, everyone was in despair. They didn't even want to prepare for war, but you appeared."
Yang Xu pointed at Gao Qi and said, "You're a walking spatial gate. I didn't say that casually. Now, do you know why I said that you're hope? No matter what's behind the spatial gate you opened, it's a world where humans can survive. Because you came from there! Also, that world is a magical world. Since it's a magical world, then we … have a chance to invade. What do you think? "
Gao Qi was impressed by Yang Xu's ambition. He sighed and said, "You're really daring."
"There's no other way. I'm treating a dead horse like it's alive. There's no way out, so I'm naturally more daring."
Gao Qi sighed regretfully. He thought for a long time and finally said, "Alright, you're very honest. Then I'll be more straightforward. I did have magic before because I had some magic runes in my head, but I could only release magic through the energy core. You know this, right?"
"Yes."
"But after my battle with the Arctic Lord, the magic runes in my head disappeared. I'll tell you directly. The first and second energy outbursts had nothing to do with me. The third energy outburst, and the opening of the spatial gate, was because I used spatial magic."
Yang Xu immediately said, "Spatial magic?"
"Yes, it's amazing, but I really did. But all the magic I used was because of the runes in my head. But now, they're gone! Gone! They don't exist anymore! "
Yang Xu was stunned for a moment. Then he said in a melancholy tone, "You're telling the truth. This makes me … very disappointed."
Gao Qi sighed softly. Yang Xu continued, "When you were in Technology City, and when you were sparring with Master Huo, you displayed the ability to cast spells with your words. You were like a god at that time! I had high hopes for you. I really thought that you came back to save humanity before the third cataclysm … "
Yang Xu scratched his head. Then he suddenly said, "How far can you go now?"
"I can't even light a cigarette."
Yang Xu was disappointed and said softly, "Yes, you gave up on collecting energy cores. This means that energy cores are really useless to you."
Now it was Gao Qi's turn to feel uneasy. He said again, "How do you know everything? How many people did you send to monitor me? "
Yang Xu shook his head and said, "Don't ask. If you ask, there's no answer. Now, don't say anything. Let me think."
Yang Xu thought for a long time with a troubled expression. Then he suddenly said, "Can you still open the spatial gate? No matter what method you use, as long as we're prepared to open the spatial gate, it'll be fine. "
"There's no way … But what's the use of opening it? We can't even protect ourselves. Isn't it suicide to go to another world?"
Yang Xu shook his head and said, "All life is equal under the nuclear bomb. Our nuclear bomb is useless against aliens who are a few levels ahead of us, but it's very effective against alien beasts. As for magical civilizations, it's not certain. We have to try."
Gao Qi felt that it made sense.
Yang Xu suddenly said, "Then what's the matter with the energy fluctuations today?"
Gao Qi immediately adjusted the Yata no Kagami and said, "It's caused by this thing. This is the spatial gate, one of the Four Pillars."
Yang Xu was stunned. Then he said in surprise, "You're not joking, are you?"
At this point in time, why keep it a secret? Just to satisfy the pleasure of being the only one sober when everyone else is drunk?
Gao Qi leaned forward, stared at Yang Xu, and said seriously, "You know more than I do, but I know some things that you definitely don't know. In the past, I kept these secrets because I was worried that I would die if I told you. But you know all the secrets about me, but you don't know the secrets that have nothing to do with my safety. So why should I continue to keep these secrets instead of telling them to preserve a chance of survival for mankind?"
Yang Xu was excited. For the first time, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Tell me!"
"I mean to exchange information. You tell me, and I'll tell you. It's only fair."
Stunned for a moment, Yang Xu said in surprise, "You don't play by the rules."
Gao Qi said calmly, "I hate routines the most. I've had enough of the same routine. I just don't play by the rules. What's wrong with that?"
