When the alarm sounded in many places on the morning star, Xiao Ai was awakened from her sleep, but because she was asked to stay where she was and not run around after the explosion, she didn't even go to the toilet for the sake of prudence.

After the cause of the explosion was ascertained and the restriction was lifted, Xiao Ai went to the toilet, and when she looked back, she saw Nana yawning dimly and said, "Xiao Ai, let's go to the restaurant to eat something." Before he could finish speaking, he yawned again, and then buried his head in the pillow again. Seeing her like this, Xiao Ai smiled and said, "Nana, you squint for a while, I'll go to the restaurant and bring you something delicious." After speaking, Xiao Ai went out and walked in the direction of the restaurant. These receptionists need to be on call at all times, and now it's a mess outside, and they may have a task at any time, so they can't sleep anymore.

Ai and her sisters live in a remote corner far from the Daystar Command Center, and it is the middle of the night, and only the center cafeteria is still open, so she needs to cross the command center building. The command center is surrounded by many plants, beautiful greenery, and even some of them are rare and precious varieties planted by plant experts here, among which Xiao Ai's favorite is the blue iris of Lan Lixing's specialty, one of the characteristics of this flower is that it can shine vividly in the dark night, which is a fluorescent blue, which is very beautiful. The blue irises in the command center are planted on the shady side of the building, and the area is usually not illuminated by the night lights, so that the blue irises can be admired at night.

Since Xiao Ai is going to pass through the command center at night, she must go and admire the blue irises. She planned to take a shortcut and hide a path in the dense vegetation, which of course was one of the pleasures of the staff stationed here, and was not a secret artery.

Just when Xiao Ai was walking quickly on this trail, a person suddenly burst out of the vegetation next to the trail, because it came out too suddenly, Xiao Ai was knocked down at once, and the other party also shook his body twice because he knocked down Xiao Ai, but because of his strong mental strength and physical fitness, the person quickly stabilized and immediately rushed into the other side of the trail.

Although Xiao Ai was knocked down here, and she was completely confused, but instinctively, she immediately caught up with the person who hit her, and shouted "Come on... ”。 Xiao Ai's cry immediately attracted the nearest patrol, and everyone rushed to her side.

Xiao Ai pounced on this person when he was about to catch up, and then the patrol also arrived, although everyone didn't know why the two were fighting, but Xiao Ai was wearing the uniform of the Imperial University, and the other person had blood stains on his body, and he didn't look like a good person, so they joined Xiao Ai's side. After seeing someone come to help her, Xiao Ai snatched the box from the man's hand and sat on the ground due to the frustration.

By this time, the patrol had already subdued the stranger, and the man activated the self-destruct device when he saw what had happened, and soon the man was dead and his body was turned into a pool of blood. Because the scene was too shocking, Xiao Ai was stunned, looking at the blood for a while, and then looking at the box he was holding, this box was actually a simple thermostatic device, just now because of the snatching, the box was accidentally opened, Xiao Ai looked at the beating heart in the box for a while.

There was a reasonable explanation for her instinctive madness to chase after the man and snatch the box from the man's hand, she was summoned by this heart, and Xiao Ai could clearly feel the powerful attraction of this heart on her.

The aftermath personnel soon arrived, they took Xiao Ai's ruby heart, cleaned up the mess, and Xiao Ai was sent to the dean's office of the academy.

"Why do you know that man is a bad person?" The dean originally intended to praise and comfort Xiao Ai, after all, this little girl must have been frightened, and the Imperial University has always been very protective, but the words that came out of the dean's mouth sounded not bad and kind, so as soon as he asked, the dean himself wanted to "phew".

"I saw blood on him and felt that he was not a good person, especially since he was still holding a box and felt that it was stolen somewhere, so I thought that this person was a thief." Xiao Ai replied after a little consideration.

"This man is indeed a thief, and we haven't identified him yet, how did he get in."

"Dean, what's that heart?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask.

"It is said to be the heart of Queen Stowe, named the Heart of the Ruby, a trophy brought back by the First Fleet fifty years ago. This ruby heart has been kept by the Academy of Sciences. ”

"Then why is it in Daystar?"

"Do you know the rumors about the Stowe?"

"I only know about the hybrid of Stowe people and humans, and it is rumored that their blood can make human mental power break through the 4S limit and rise to 5S."

"Hmm... The dean nodded: "The reason why this ruby heart is so important is because there are records that it can directly absorb the energy of nature, and after the energy passes through the heart, it will remove impurities and purify, and then output the energy that can be directly absorbed and used for us, and the energy that passes through the ruby heart will play a role in improving and repairing spiritual power." Strictly speaking, Ruby Heart doesn't have much to do with Daystar's upgrade, it's just an experiment to verify the accuracy of the above rumors. ”

"Is this a secret?" Xiao Ai asked weakly, she knew such an important thing as Xiao Transparent.

"Haha, you are the future elite of the Imperial University and even the Empire, and the study of the Ruby Heart is also a long process, of course you will be involved in it, what is not confidential to you, you just know in advance."

Xiao Ai nodded vigorously, trying to make herself look like an excellent college student who worked hard.

"There are a lot of unsolved mysteries about Queen Stowe, and these riddles need to be studied and solved by you young people, and I have a gut feeling that the answers to these unsolved mysteries are not in the Empire."

"Dean, why is Queen Stowe's heart called Ruby Heart?"

"I don't know, the name Ruby Heart has been around for a long time, and we don't know the origin of the name."
