116. Chapter 116: A Strange Reaction
After many options were ruled out one by one, Yang Qinglan finally found that there was only one way for her to choose from completing the side quest in five days.
Five days is the deadline, and if it is not completed within five days, Haya's estrus period breaks out, and she can only run away with the unfinished punishment.
Five-day ......
Yang Qinglan opened the control panel and read the task content and hints of the side quest again.
γβ¦β¦ You may meet unexpected characters~γ
Fixing her gaze on this last sentence, Yang Qinglan pinched her chin.
There must be a high probability that an unexpected character can be prompted by a system loophole in the washing machine, which means that as long as she completes this side quest, there is a chance that she will encounter him nine times out of ten, so can she change the target of her search from directly looking for Catherine's relics to finding this person?
She's been looking for more than a month without results, maybe it's faster to find someone?
Yang Qinglan relied on Jersey's authority in the European Association to begin to screen people worthy of attention in the European Association.
She didn't know if this "accidental character" was another system professional, and if so, if there would be features that she could recognize at a glance, such as a colored eye or something, so during the initial screening, she put all the suspicious people on the shortlist.
After the preliminary screening, one-third of the suspicious targets were left in the base camp of the Galactic Federation of the European Association alone, and there were more than 1,000 people.
Looking at the long list, she had to re-sift through those who had nothing to do with Catherine in any way, leaving behind a list of 88 people.
With the list in hand, Yang Qinglan found Shi Yanxue and had a final discussion with him, and then found out the 6 people who were most likely related to Catherine's relics.
The first was the female omega who was in charge of the care of newborns in the "Adam" real yΓ n group, and Catherine was delivered by her.
The second is to send Catherine to a foster home, and then keep secretly observing and protecting her male alpha.
The third is Catherine's foster mother, a gentle-looking female omega.
The fourth is the administrator of the warehouses of the various study groups of the European Association, a female beta, and the warehouse of "Adam" is also under her jurisdiction.
The fifth is the former head of the alpha department of the European Association, a female alpha with an S-class gene, and according to Jersey, it is very likely that the sperm that made Catherine's fertilized eggs was provided by her.
The sixth is Catherine's friend from secondary school and is now the head of the European Association Literature Department.
With this final list in hand, Yang Qinglan plans to visit the people on the list one by one in two days, so as to get up close and personal to determine whether the other party is the person mentioned by the washing machine, so as to find Catherine's relics.
However, it is not easy to find that person.
Take Yang Qinglan herself as an example, she is a system whitewasher, playing a role in the mission world, if she doesn't take the initiative to show it, even her twin brother can't find out, let alone a stranger.
Two days passed quickly, and all six of them were seen, but she couldn't make out who was the target.
Is it because she hasn't dug deep yet, or is it that none of these six people?
Sensing that the pheromones emitted by Haya are becoming more and more seductive, and he also intends to get close to her, he always finds opportunities to stay by her side, rubbing around like a kitten, making her already failing resistance more and more fragile, and she may lose control at any time.
With less than three days left, will she really be able to find Catherine's relics?
Holding Haya with one hand and pinching herself with the other hand on her thigh, Yang Qinglan burst into tears in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be happy on her face, and she wanted to cry in agony.
"Aki, are you looking for someone these two days? I see that you seem to be in a hurry, and you haven't prepared the nutrients you need for two days, and you can't find them after labeling? β
Yang Qinglan's left hand on Haya's shoulder stiffened.
Nutrients are a must for alpha and estrus/period omega rolling sheets, after all, it takes several days to roll, extremely consuming body, if you don't prepare nutrients and various things that may be needed in advance, it is possible to die at that time, so generally before the arrival of the hair/estrus/period, both parties will prepare these things together, which is also a kind of love/fun.
It's less than three days before Haya officially estrus, but she hasn't started preparing yet.
"Uh...... I've asked someone to help prepare, and the day after tomorrow we'll check it together and add something, and you can bear with it a little bit for the next two days, and this matter is really important to me. β
Haya nodded obediently: "Okay, if there is anything you need my help with, please be sure to sue me." β
"Hmm."
After appeasing the Omega's feelings, Yang Qinglan was even more anxious than before, and hurriedly found Shi Yanxue to find a new target.
Then the two of them invariably set their eyes on the former head of the alpha department.
This alpha's name is Helimia, and she is a very mediocre alpha in terms of appearance, if it weren't for the genetic testing that showed that she was an S-class gene alpha, no one would be able to see that there was a superhuman power hidden under such a skin.
She bears no resemblance to Catherine in the slightest, which is the main reason why Jersey is not sure that Catherine is her daughter.
Catherine's genes have been guided and modified, and DNA testing alone cannot tell whether Helimia and Gemini are directly related, so they can't confirm it from the technical level, and can only look for clues at the practical level.
At the previous meeting, Helimiah denied that she was Catherine's father.
But she admits that she has provided sperm to "Adam", but that was very long ago, Adam has no shortage of excellent sperm, and it is impossible to keep it for a few years or even more than ten years before using it, so she confirms that she has nothing to do with Catherine, and let Gemini return in vain.
But when Gemini calmed down and analyzed her words, he found something very interesting.
Helimiah's narration is so organized and detailed, that all events are told when they happened and then what they are, as if they had written down the whole thing in a notebook, waiting for someone to ask about it.
is so well prepared, could it be said that she is "prepared" in the name of "prepared"?
So this time, Yang Qinglan didn't take her teacher's words and went to Helimia's residence alone to visit.
Although he used to be a high-level figure in the European Association, after leaving office, Helimia lived a very low-key life, living in a townhouse, and most of the neighbors were beta who did not know anything about the European Association, and few people would associate such a person with the European Association if they did not have information in hand.
Yang Qinglan stood in front of the door of Helimia's room, and was about to ring the doorbell, but found that the door was hidden and not closed, and there was a faint burst of soothing music in the room.
However, there is no such thing as yoga in this world.
Seeing this scene, Yang Qinglan didn't ring the doorbell or knock on the door, and the god sent the ghost to push the door directly and walked in.
Helimia sat on a white carpet and tried hard to put one leg around his neck, but tried several times without success, and was so serious that he didn't notice an uninvited guest coming into the house.
Yang Qinglan didn't say anything, just stood by and watched.
Ten minutes passed, and the two men remained in their previous state, and Helimia did not succeed in putting his legs up in the end.
At the end of a piece of music, she chose to give up, and when she turned her head, she found a person standing not far from her, like a log, staring at herself, like a juggling monkey.
"! How did you get in?! β
"The door wasn't closed, I walked in."
"Get out, get out! Did I let you in?! β
"Okay, I'll go, but before I go, I want to ask you a question."
Helimia nudged her movement and paused: "What's the problem?" β
"What's your profession?"
"Career? What other profession, the former head of the alpha department at home, you know this. β
"I'm asking about your system career."
Hearing the word "system", Helimia immediately took a few steps back, made a defensive gesture, and looked at her vigilantly: "Who sent you?" I finally have a little time off, can I still let people have a good time for a while!! β
Got it!
Yang Qinglan immediately piled up a flattering smile on her face: "You misunderstood, I don't know you, and looking for you has nothing to do with you personally, I just figured out that you are looking for a task item that you need to complete the task in this world." β
"Task? What are you looking for? β
Yang Qinglan took out the key and threw it to Helimia: "Do you have any impression of this key?" β
When Helimia got his hands on it, he immediately relaxed his vigilance: "So you were looking for Catherine's box?" You said earlier, if you had taken it out for me the day before yesterday, it would have solved the problem the day before yesterday. β
ββ¦β¦ I'm hanging on my chest, but you don't see it. β
"Ahem, come in with me, that box is in the room inside." Helimia turned and walked to the back room, and as she went, she said, "Catherine is me...... No, it should be the only offspring of this body, the two have met in private, and they have recognized each other, Catherine handed over this box to her for safekeeping some time before being marked by the marshal of the division, and then because she was placed under house arrest in disguise until she died, she never saw her again. β
The chest Helimiah refers to is very small, and if it is not made to look like a box, it should be called a "box".
"Is that it?"
"That's right, I tried to open it, but found that if you use violence to dismantle it, the contents will also be destroyed, so I didn't do it, it turned out to be for the two of you."
Picking up the small box and shaking it, Yang Qinglan found that the contents were very light, almost weightless, if it weren't for the slight noise, she would have thought it was an empty box.
The thing is in hand, but the task prompt does not sound, does it mean that it has to be opened?
Yang Qinglan took back the key and opened the box on the spot, and Helimia also came over curiously, wanting to see what was inside.
This is an encrypted single-crystal storage chip the size of a fingernail, and from experience, Yang Qinglan judged that it should also have a self-destruct program, as long as the reading method is incorrect, the contents stored in it will be automatically destroyed.
Yang Qinglan was not confident in his level of decryption, and it seemed that he had to take it back and hand it over to Shi Yanxue to do.
"It's encrypted, I'm going to take it back and find someone to crack it, so I won't bother you here."
"You're leaving, okay, see you next time."
"My mission is over when I crack it, and I shouldn't see you again."
"Huh? What do you do? β
"System careers, you ask?"
"Hmm."
"Whitewasher."
"Wash ......! Ahem! Ahemβahem, ahem...... "Helimia choked on his own saliva, and he choked hard.
ββ¦β¦ Any questions? β
Helimia hugged Yang Qinglan's arm and shouted in an extremely admiring tone: "The great god asks for an autograph!" Please leave contact information!! I'm going to be your little brother!! β
"What the hell?!" Yang Qinglan struggled to push her away, but she was afraid that she would tear off the person's arm with too much force, so she could only pull her hand out little by little, "Don't get excited, let me go first." β
"The great god doesn't leave contact information, only signs, it's okay-"
Frightened by this person's appearance, where did Yang Qinglan not guess that the profession of "whitewasher" should have special features? So she didn't dare to reveal her real name and system name, and only wrote the three Chinese characters "Qingfeng Gang" on the notebook she took out.
"Oh, what kind of text is this, it's beautiful!"
"You appreciate it slowly, I'll see you later." Before she could react, Yang Qinglan hurriedly ran away with the box.
It seems that there is one more thing to ask the washing machine after the mission.
