Chapter 115 I have fully grasped his character (5k)

Xiao Qingque glanced around and showed a surprised expression: "Hey, Sister Bai was here just now, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Stay here and don't run around."

Shen Cheng asked Xiao Qingque to stay here, then left the study. Relying on his keen perception, he quickly found Bai Qiu Ning in the infirmary in the manor.

Bai Qiuning was not injured, she came to see off an old friend.

The owner of the manor who wrote the research manuscript was now lying on the bed, no longer breathing.

The servant fell to the side with a gunshot wound on his temple and a pistol in his hand. It looked like he had committed suicide.

Bai Qiuning quietly looked at the body on the bed. When Shen Cheng came, he did not turn around. He just whispered, "He spent his whole life pursuing the truth of the starry sky, and finally used his life to write a research result that could change history. It's a pity that such a great discovery, his name is destined not to be recorded in history books, let alone known to the public. He lost the opportunity to be a celebrity in history."

Shen Cheng looked at the exhausted body on the bed and couldn't help but feel some respect.

There are always these great and shining figures in human history who are determined to forge ahead and explore unknown areas, leaving countless precious treasures for future generations.

Shen Cheng suddenly felt the phone in his hand was a little heavy. He handed the phone to Bai Qiuning: "Do you want it?"

Bai Qiuning shook his head: "This achievement is different from my research direction. It is only of reference value to me. It cannot play its due value in my hands. It is better to give it to someone who really needs it."

Shen Cheng had no choice but to take back his phone: "Pei Mu asked me to hand him over to a man named Si Han. Do you know where this man is now?"

Pei Mu said that this person had no fixed place to live and would appear in Hanyun Prefecture in the future, so he asked Shen Cheng to go look for him and try his luck.

"Si Han? I know him, but I don't know where he is,"

Bai Qiuning explained: "In order to avoid being caught by the federal government, stargazers rarely tell others about their whereabouts. Only the club's top management knows how to contact them."

Shen Cheng immediately thought of Tianxuanxing and decided to ask him about it when he returned.

There were no other living people in the manor except Shen Cheng and the other two. The servants had fought with the invading soldiers until death, and none of them chose to escape.

Including the servant who had led Shen Cheng before, and the examiner who had a quarrel with Xiao Qingque, they had all turned into cold corpses.

Xiao Qingque used the blood control technique to move the bodies of the dead stargazers out of the manor.

Shen Cheng lit a fire and burned their bodies on the spot.

Because Pei Mu said before he died that the federal government would take their bodies back for autopsy, so the best way was to cremate them on the spot and leave no money for the federal government.

The three stood in front of the blazing fire, watching the bodies being dissolved in the flames.

Xiao Qingque held a deck of playing cards in her hand and threw them into the flames one by one, in memory of the examiner who fought with her until the last moment.

From then on, the card-playing world lost a strong player and a once very bright star.

Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at Bai Qiuning who was standing beside him: "Do you know the Life Court?"

He suspected that the extraordinary person who had just fought with him was a member of the Living Tribunal, because the demon serum was developed by the Living Tribunal.

"I don't know about the Living Tribunal, but I know the origins of the man you fought."

Bai Qiuning asked Shen Cheng: "Have you heard of the Order Council?"

Her tone was as if she was asking a primary school student if he knew the police officer.

Shen Cheng replied in a sarcastic tone: "I have never heard of what the Order Council is. Can you be merciful and tell me?"

Before Bai Qiu Ning could answer, Xiao Qingque's laughter could be heard from the side: "No way, you don't even know this? How can you be more ignorant than me who stays at home all day."

As soon as Xiao Qingque finished speaking, he saw Shen Cheng sneer at him: "Are you very knowledgeable? Go back and translate the research manuscript in your phone into a paper that even elementary school students can understand. It should be at least one million words."

Xiao Qingque was shocked: "I don't understand astronomy!"

"If you don't understand, talk less and practice more. Go back and practice for me for three hours every day."

"No, you are retaliating."

"Between physical blows and punishing blows, you can choose one for yourself."

“I choose to be autistic.”

Xiao Qingque shut up silently, and kept throwing the playing cards in his hand into the flames, just like burning paper for Shen Cheng's ancestors.
Shen Cheng then turned his head and looked at Bai Qiuning: "What happened to the Order Council?"

Although the federation is a presidential system, the highest authority is not the presidential palace but the Order Parliament.

The Order Parliament holds legislative and military power and grants both to the government. If the president wants to start a war, he must obtain the unanimous approval of the Order Parliament. The parliament also has the right to remove the president.

"In fact, it is not the government that is really suppressing the club, but the Order Parliament."

Bai Qiuning explained: "The man you just fought with is a special unit of the Order Council, called the Forbidden Demon Hunters. They are specially responsible for carrying out some confidential missions for the Order Council, and arresting us stargazers is one of their missions."

The Demon Hunters, it turns out that they are them.

Shen Cheng remembered that there were traces of this special force in Yu Yuanqi's memory.

There are not many Demon Hunters, and every member of them possesses at least extraordinary strength. They are two completely different violent organizations from Demon Hunters.

Yu Yuanqi once received a recruitment from the Forbidden Demon Hunters, but after investigation, he found traces of brainwashing within the Forbidden Demon Hunters, so he declined.

No wonder the pangolin didn’t make any last wishes after its death. It turned out that it had been brainwashed.

"Well, it's getting late, I should go too."

Bai Qiuning raised her hand and gently stroked Shen Cheng's chest. She stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear, breathing sweetly: "When you arrive at the provincial capital, I will treat you well."

This sentence was said in a very ambiguous way, which made Shen Cheng think of their previous kiss.

The kiss was extremely erotic and intoxicating, but Shen Cheng did not linger on it, because there was no emotion in it, only naked desire.

He asked, "Don't you need me to take you there?"

This is in the suburbs, and it's late at night, so there is no way to get a taxi.

"unnecessary."

Bai Qiuning shook his head and looked in a certain direction: "Someone has come to pick me up."

Shen Cheng looked up and saw two beams of light suddenly appear in the darkness.

A car drove quietly from the night and stopped dozens of meters away. The windows were covered with black film, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

"Goodbye, you two."

Bai Qiu Ning waved goodbye to Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque, and walked towards the car with elegant steps.

Shen Cheng vaguely felt that there was someone in the car, and he felt an urge to rush over to see who the other person was.

But he suppressed this impulse because he was not the kind of impolite person.

Bai Qiu Ning came to the side of the car, opened the passenger door and sat in.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a woman who looked exactly like Bai Qiu Ning. She was wearing a drab white coat and glasses, and her expression was as cold as a glacier.

This woman is the Bai Qiu Ning that Shen Cheng is familiar with.

Bai Qiuning looked at the woman sitting in the passenger seat and asked in her uniquely cold voice, "What was his reaction?"

"Be wary, and a little resistant, but not repulsive."

Bai Qiuning smiled gently, "This is the characteristic of male creatures. They will not reject the initiative and intimacy of female creatures even if they don't like it. The instinct of the creatures will make them feel positive feedback from such intimate contact."

Bai Qiu Ning asked coldly: "What experience did you get?"

“It’s a wonderful feeling, hard to describe accurately in words.”

The gentle Bai Qiuning raised her hand and gently stroked her pink lips, as if she was recalling the deep kiss with Shen Cheng: "At that moment, I even stopped thinking for a few seconds, and even my body had a physiological reaction. I finally understood why Shen Cheng was so attracted to her and even affected us. He is indeed a very special individual."

The indifferent Bai Qiu Ning pondered and said, "Perhaps I should find a chance to personally experience the feeling you are talking about, so that I can make an effective judgment."

The gentle Bai Qiu Ning turned his head and looked at her: "If you do something like this, then his vigilance against us will increase by 100%. The cold Bai Qiu Ning said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I have many ways to make him take the initiative."

Whether it was the last contact in the bar or the hug at the airport, it can be seen that Shen Cheng is a person who does not like to be controlled by others and is very vengeful.

Based on this, Bai Qiu Ning has many ways to achieve his goal, turning the initiative into the passive, and even making sure that Shen Cheng can rape him.

But that will have to wait until a pregnancy test is needed.

"Now that you're here, aren't you afraid that he'll see through you?"

"Will not."

Bai Qiuning pushed up his glasses and observed Shen Cheng standing next to the fire in the distance through the rearview mirror: "I have fully grasped his character."

"It's not just you, honey."

The gentle Bai Qiuning corrected her: "It's us."

……

The bodies of all the stargazers were burned to ashes, then buried in a pit dug on the spot and a stone inserted as a tombstone.

Pei Mu's body was burned separately because it was to be taken back and returned to Yan Qiuli. Xiao Qingque found a box in the manor and put all of Pei Mu's ashes in it.

In order to prevent the federal government from finding any clues, Shen Cheng not only burned the pangolins and the soldiers' bodies, but also completely destroyed the entire manor with gravity. There was no hope of finding anything valuable inside.

However, those extremely valuable research manuscripts were collected by Shen Cheng, because they were precious items of historical significance and would surely become heavyweight cultural relics in the future.

The premise is that it does not fall into the hands of the federal government.

After doing this, the two of them returned to Tailing City on the giant eagle.

On the back of the giant eagle, Shen Cheng took out Pei Mu's mobile phone and looked at the backup of the research manuscripts he had taken, trying to understand what was in them.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't understand it, and could only roughly determine that it was a research on calculating the positions of stars.

If the starry sky above his head is fake, then the research in his hand represents the real starry sky.

Of course, this should only be a small part, and it is impossible to calculate the positions of all the stars in the entire universe.

But this is already amazing enough. If Shen Cheng were to do it himself, he would not be able to imagine how to find the positions of the real stars in a fake starry sky.

At the same time, he was extremely curious. If the starry sky was fake, then was it natural or man-made?

Why would the federal government hide this?

And Pei Mu’s last words - the false sky is a huge prison. We are all under the shadow of the Lord of the Sky and cannot see the real universe.

So what Shen Cheng hates most is the riddler. Can't he just say it in a nice way? He has to make it so mysterious that people have to guess.

However, he just thought about it in his mind and did not take it to heart, because it not only had nothing to do with him, but was also too far away from him.

Just like sometimes you will discuss the origin of the universe, the formation of galaxies, the shape of black holes and other topics with your friends out of curiosity, and then do whatever you want after the discussion. Would you still invest your time and energy to study these things that you are not actually interested in?

After sending the backup of the mobile phone to the man named Si Han as requested by Pei Mu, Shen Cheng will completely get out of this matter and will not want to become a formal member of the Stargazing Club.

When he and Xiao Qingque returned to Tailing City, it was already dawn.

The giant eagle landed in front of the door of the fortune-telling shop. While there was no one on the street, Shen Cheng took out the key he found from Pei Mu, opened the door, and entered the shop with Xiao Qingque.

He is now on the most wanted list and cannot be seen by anyone.

As soon as they entered the store and turned on the lights, they saw Yan Qiuli sitting alone on a chair, as if she was waiting for them to come back.

Her eyes were red, and it looked like she had been crying.

Seeing Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque coming back, Yan Qiuli stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "Where is my master?"

Shen Cheng's gaze fell on the box in Xiao Qingque's hand.

Yan Qiuli also realized something and stared at the box in Xiao Qingque's hand.

Even though she had read the letter her master left for her and had divined countless times since she woke up, she still couldn't believe it. She asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, this is a prank you and the master are playing on me, right? Will the master jump out and laugh at me when I cry?"

Seeing the pleading look in Yan Qiuli's eyes, Xiao Qingque's heart felt as if it was being tightened.

Although she felt a little reluctant, she knew that it was meaningless to lie now.

He could only slowly raise his hands and hand over the box containing Pei Mu's ashes.

This action has answered everything.

Yan Qiuli stared at the box in front of her for a long time before she reached out to take it. Without saying anything, she turned around and ran upstairs.

It’s not that she isn’t sad, but she just can’t accept the reality for a while.

After all, a healthy person went out and came back turned into a box. No one could accept that.

Once she accepted the fact that her loved one was gone, the sadness came out all at once.

This is why some people appear calm when their relatives pass away, but become grief-stricken after a while.

Xiao Qingque hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose not to follow.

She is a top student from a prestigious university with a high emotional intelligence. She knows that what Yan Qiuli needs now is to be alone, not to have someone beside her giving her advice like a toad.

After a while, Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque heard suppressed crying coming from the second floor.

This made both of them feel relieved. It was good that she could cry, which meant that she had accepted the fact. If she kept holding it in, that would cause problems.

Although Pei Mu said that Yan Qiuli could take care of herself, Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque decided to stay and look after her for a while.

Besides, it was already daybreak outside, and Shen Cheng didn't want to go out for a stroll with his face worth three hundred million.

Yan Qiuli stayed on the second floor and didn't come down, so Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque were waiting for her downstairs.

In a blink of an eye, a day and a night passed. At Shen Cheng's signal, Xiao Qingque forced his way into the second floor and forced the resisting Yan Qiuli to eat some food.

In the next few days, neither of them returned to the underground base, but stayed here to accompany Yan Qiuli.

During this period, Shen Cheng contacted Tianxuanxing by mobile phone and told him about Pei Mu's death and what happened in the Stargazing Club.

"I already know about Pei Mu's situation. This is his personal choice. We don't need to feel sad or sorry for him."

Tian Xuanxing's voice on the phone remained rational and calm: "As for the research manuscript, there are some overlaps with my research direction. You can send me a copy."

Shen Cheng asked curiously: "Pei Mu asked me to give this research manuscript to someone from Si Han. Do you know where he is now?"

"Didn't Pei Mu tell you the exact location?"

"He just told me a rough time and place and asked me to try my luck."

"Even he who is good at divination doesn't know, so I have no idea either."

Shen Cheng was very surprised: "But aren't you one of the seven leaders of the club? Even you don't know the location of the club members?"

"I have indeed inherited the title of Tianxuanxing. You can understand me as one of the seven leaders of the club."

Tian Xuanxing explained, "But I have never been in charge of specific affairs within the club, so naturally I don't know the specific whereabouts of a particular member. Moreover, I haven't been in touch with the other people who inherited the code name for a long time. They have changed their contact information many times, and now I can't contact them. Only when they contact me can I find a chance to ask for you, but this time may take years."

Shen Cheng didn't expect that the leader of Tianxuanxing would be so indifferent and a nerd who didn't care about anything else.

Then what’s the point of you being a leader? You might as well give it to me.

It seems that I have to go find the man named Si Han myself.

Shen Cheng asked the last question: "What is the fake starry sky? What is the Lord of the Sky?"

These two sentences were what Pei Mu said before he died, and they have been lingering in Shen Cheng's mind.
