Chapter 137 Meeting Strangers

What Qi Xiang said last night inspired Gu Xi.

Early the next morning, she went out in a grand manner, and went to Li Ming's residence without avoiding anyone.

Li Ming was in a video call with someone. Gu Xi subconsciously stopped and was about to avoid it, but Li Ming signaled the other party to wait first, then looked up and frowned disapprovingly: "Xiao Xi, How did you come?"

It took him so long to maintain the current situation, but Gu Xi always comes, I'm afraid those people will think too much again.

Li Ming closed the light screen calmly, and he found that after returning this time, Gu Xi seemed to be more stubborn and elusive than before.

Gu Xi hummed casually, and glanced at it inadvertently, it was in privacy mode.

"Xiao Xi." Li Ming sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Xi said, "Brother Ming, I plan to go to the Ability Research Institute again."

Li Ming frowned slightly, and pointed out sharply: "But Ye Xin may not be willing to see you."

Gu Xi pushed his wheelchair, walked to the window, raised his hand and pulled open the black curtains, the sun poured down from the window, warming his body, making the cold room somewhat warmer.

Gu Xi looked back at Li Ming: "I know, but I still want to try."

This is her third day back at Central Base.

In the past two days, the people behind seemed to be making small moves, but in fact, Gu Xi knew very well that the other party hadn't really made a move.

Even, just sent some crab soldiers and crabs to test her attitude, or... the bottom line?
So Gu Xi decided to take the initiative.

Li Ming watched her be silent for a while, and sighed: "Forget it, you can go if you want." Just don't be too soft-hearted.

Gu Xi looked back at him: "Brother Ming, since Xiao Yu still doesn't want to see me, then you can say something for me."

Li Ming looked up, the sunlight left some mottled spots on his unusually old face.

It looked a little weird.

But perhaps Gu Xi's estrangement these days has played a role. Li Ming's face has gradually turned a little bloody, and he no longer looks as if he is exhausted. Although he is still shriveled and thin, his energy is obviously better. a lot.

His hand on his lap curled up slightly: "Xiaoxi, you..."

Gu Xi lowered her eyes and said slowly: "I never blamed him for what happened back then. Even without him, the best ending between me and Yunye is just...meeting strangers."

After Gu Xi left, Li Ming opened the light screen again, and said to the person on the other side of the personal terminal: "Did you hear everything?"

It turns out that the previous communication has not been hung up.

After half a sound, there was a faint sigh.

"I heard..." Xiao Yu's voice was a little hoarse: "I'm sorry for Xiao Xi."

These years, Xiao Yu has always firmly believed that Gu Xi's disappearance back then had something to do with Yunye.

It is even more paranoid that the source of all this is the one from that year.

It was him who was impulsive and couldn't hold back his temper. On the night before the big battle, he had a complete falling out with Yunye, which made that lunatic so impatient to make a move on the night Xiaoxi returned to the base... …without giving them any time to react.

Xiao Yu has been blaming himself all these years.

If he hadn't been impulsive that day, maybe Yunye wouldn't have acted so anxiously, as long as he gave them some time, maybe Xiaoxi would be fine!

Because of this incident, the person who was so unrestrained and unrestrained the most, finally joined the strictly disciplined army.

Even now that Gu Xi has returned, Xiao Yu still dare not face her.

Li Ming didn't know what to say.

Over the years, those who should be persuaded have already been persuaded, and those who should be scolded have also been scolded long ago, but Xiao Yu is stubborn in some aspects.

He sighed.

"It's up to you." Li Ming raised his head and looked out the window.

After a while, he closed the curtains, and pushed the wheelchair back into the darkness: "But Xiao Yu, let me remind you that Xiaoxi won't be able to stay in the central base for long this time."

"Think about it yourself."

……

After Gu Xi left the mall, she went to the first district.

But the Ability Research Institute is not a place where everyone can go.

Especially the core research area.

On the way, Gu Xi sent Zhou Jinyu a message.

Now that everyone is a partner, if she encounters some problems now, the other party should not hesitate to help, right?
With Zhou Jinyu leading it, it shouldn't be a big problem to enter the core research area.

But it wasn't until she got out of the car that Zhou Jinyu sent her a message back.

And there are only two short words: [Don't come. 】

There's something wrong with this attitude.Seeing his news, Gu Xi frowned slightly, and then asked: [? 】

Probably because she felt that typing was too slow and she was afraid that she would not be able to stop Gu Xi, so Zhou Jinyu simply sent a video chat this time.

Gu Xi connected.

"Miss Gu, it's really inconvenient these days." Zhou Jinyu said with a serious face, with a bit of helplessness and exhaustion between her brows: "The courtyard is very chaotic now, and even I can't take people in casually." ..."

Gu Xi expressed her confusion: "What happened to the Ability Research Institute? As Minister Zhou, you can't be accommodating? But I see, isn't this quite peaceful?"

As she said that, she turned the camera to the gate of the institute behind her, just in time to see a researcher rush out and bring a middle-aged woman in.

"..." Zhou Jinyu's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and said helplessly, "Miss Gu, to be honest, something happened in the courtyard last night, and now it's under full martial law."

Such a coincidence?
She was attacked in the wild yesterday afternoon, and something happened to the Ability Research Institute at night?
Gu Xi thought for a while and asked, "Then is it convenient to reveal what happened?"

Zhou Jinyu hesitated for a moment.

"Is it inconvenient?" Gu Xi raised an eyebrow.

"It's not inconvenient." Zhou Jinyu sighed, avoiding the seriousness and said lightly: "Last night, someone broke into the data center at night... After an inventory, some data from the early days of the end of the world were stolen."

"It wasn't a big deal at first, but Dean Chen seemed very angry and ordered a strict investigation into the matter. Now, the entire research institute is in a state of being allowed to enter and not allowed to leave..."

While talking, Zhou Jinyu paid attention to Gu Xi's expression.

But the emotion in Gu Xi's eyes didn't fluctuate at all, as if he didn't hear the temptation he meant.

Zhou Jinyu sighed: "Miss Gu, to be honest, the person who broke into the data center last night had a bloody Asura mask on his face..."

Scarlet Shura?
It seems that some people really took great pains.

A bit of surprise appeared on Gu Xi's face, and he lost his voice: "Impossible..."

She seemed to have thought of something, and quickly swallowed the following words, but her expression was a little dazed.

Zhou Jinyu watched everything calmly.

He sighed and said, "Miss Gu, regardless of whether that person was Ling Tang last night, I am definitely not the only one who doubts your identity now. Think about it, last night Scarlet Asura broke into the research institute at night, Chen Yuan The long response is so big..."

Her words were sincere, her attitude was sincere, and she looked like she was thinking of Gu Xi.

She also hinted to Gu Xi that the current Academy of Supernatural Powers is no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to her. It is easy to get in, but if she wants to go out again, it may be a little difficult.

But Gu Xi knew very well that Zhou Jinyu was testing her.

What he said may not be the truth, but the part about Scarlet Shura... is worthy of scrutiny.

Gu Xi suddenly thought of the assassination yesterday.

Since Dr. Qi knew something, it was impossible for Zhou Jinyu not to know.

So, Zhou Jinyu suddenly mentioned Scarlet Shura to herself at this time... Could it be implying something?

Gu Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Miss Gu, look at this..." On the opposite side, Zhou Jinyu was still looking at her in embarrassment.

"It's okay, then I'll come to visit another day. Minister Zhou, I still have something to do, so let's do it today." Gu Xi hurriedly ended the communication, looking impatient but trying to calm down.

After finishing the communication, she took a deep breath, and in front of the guards at the gate, she looked up at the direction of the Ability Research Institute before turning around and striding away.

After getting away from the monitoring here, Gu Xi turned his feet and quickly disappeared into a certain alley.

It's also time to go back to Villa No. [-] and take a look.

I don't know if the things she left in the villa are still there?
