Chapter 62: The Mystery of Suction Cup

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Feng Qi pulled the silver-white object out of the soil and looked at it carefully, he became dumbfounded.

...

Now, he was certain that this familiar harmonica was the one he had bought for Mu Qing.

Because the harmonica was made of a special material from the domain field, it did not break down even after 1,500 years. However, the surface had lost its luster and looked a little dull.

He looked down at the metal box placed at the side and then at the silver-white harmonica buried underground with the box. The identity of the box’s owner was obvious.

If he was not wrong, this was his future self’s urn.

His expression gradually became sluggish at this moment. He even wanted to clap for himself.

This plot was so wild that it made his scalp tingle.

…..

[Future you was really too pitiful. In order to fulfill your wish, you endured immense pressure and pain. You were even despised by the world and finally died by public execution. In the end, after your death, you even dug it out yourself. Look at these moldy green ashes. How tragic!]

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” he explained softly.

[Can you solve the problem just by saying that it wasn’t intentional? Won’t you kneel down and kowtow a few times to your future self to apologize?]

As the veins on his forehead throbbed, a line in his mind was connected.

In the execution scene, there was a segment where a group of people from the Dawn domain combat team finally negotiated with the military and took his corpse away.

In other words, his corpse was in Mu Qing’s hands in the end.

He did not need to think deeper to guess what would happen next.

Because his body and head were in different places, Mu Qing cremated his body and buried it here in a metal box. Along with it was the silver-white harmonica he had given her.

At this thought, he suddenly turned to look at Suction Cup.

So… why did she kneel in front of my grave and cry?

Under his watch, the empty-eyed Suction Cup suddenly stood up and crawled into the nearby weeds. Not long after, she reappeared with a white flower in her mouth.

Arriving in front of the soil, Suction Cup reached out and stuck the flower in its mouth into the soil. Then, a tear fell from her eyes.

Is she paying her respects to me?

[She has clearly lost the ability to think, but she still remembered to bring flowers to see you. This means that she has done this more than once. It even formed muscle memory-like behavior. So is she… Mu Qing?]

From her appearance and characteristics, he suddenly felt that Suction Cup indeed looked very similar to Mu Qing when she was young.

Only, her hair had turned white. Although starlight flowed in her pupils, they looked very empty.

This also explained why Suction Cup was so attached to him.

Because he was Mu Qing’s only friend.

After he died, Mu Qing would definitely bring flowers to visit him every year, so the narrator’s guess was completely reasonable.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.

This was because the physical characteristics of the Suction Cup were completely different from that of humans. The most obvious one was that she did not have any flaws.

Mu Qing was a Rune Transformer, but she was also a human. She should have all the physical characteristics of humans.

[How do you know that there must be? You only looked at Suction Cup. Did you open up Mu Qing and take a look too?]

“I’ve read up on the relevant information about Rune Transformers. The process of transformation merely involves implanting the rune crystal of a domain creature into the experiment subject’s body and leaving a crystal that absorbs Spiritual Qi outside the body. It doesn’t completely modify the human body’s structure to become non-human,” he explained in an unpleasant tone.

[Oh, so? Can you prove that she’s definitely not Mu Qing? Don’t forget that the reason for Mu Qing’s death has been kept confidential.]

Hearing the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi felt that it made sense.

However, for some reason, he still felt that Suction Cup could not be Mu Qing.

The future dream was a world 1,500 years later. If Mu Qing could live until now, how old would she be?

Even if a cultivator’s lifespan could be continuously extended as their strength increased, Mu Qing would not be able to live until now because she was publicly acknowledged as the great demon king by humans.

The entire human society needed her death to calm their emotions.

During the dark period that Mu Qing created, several cities were destroyed. Whether it was to remove the cancer hidden in human civilization or anything else, countless innocent people would definitely die at her hands.

A city had been destroyed, and the huge number of refugees was not something other cities could accept. Therefore, after the city was destroyed, there was only one way for the residents to go.

Become scavengers!

Putting aside Mu Qing’s true motive for destroying the world, the fact that she had committed the sin of killing could not be washed away.

The people of the world could bear witness. The truth could not be faked, and what’s fake could not be the truth. The sacrifice of a large number of innocent people was definitely the truth.

Therefore, Mu Qing was probably dead.

At this thought, a conspiracy theory could not help but appear in his mind.

Could it be that Mu Qing did not really die but was secretly imprisoned?

Moreover, the mysterious organization that imprisoned her conducted a series of human transformation experiments on her. In the end, she turned into this state and lived until now.

But questions followed.

Why did they modify Mu Qing into what she was now? Human civilization had already become extinct. Why was Mu Qing living in Star City, which was enveloped by a domain field after being modified?

These questions were completely unrelated.

It was very simple to get an answer. He needed to return to the Star City Shelter and search for news of Mu Qing’s death.

Although the method of Mu Qing’s execution was confidential, there would definitely be relevant news that would leak out after her death to calm the people.

Therefore, as long as he found the corresponding information, he could determine if Suction Cup was Mu Qing.

Looking at Suction Cup that was still sobbing silently, he didn’t feel good either.

After closing the urn and burying it underground again, he went to Suction Cup and squatted down.

“Suction Cup, let’s go. I’m still alive!”

Suction Cup ignored him and continued to look at the spot where the urn was originally stored.

Seeing that she did not react, he handed the silver-white harmonica to it.

“Do you want this?”

Upon seeing the silver harmonica, Suction Cup’s empty eyes lit up. She actually stretched out her small hand and took the harmonica.

Feng Qi was also a little surprised to see this.

Time was limited. The most important thing now was to return to the Star City Shelter, so he did not waste any more time. He reached out and picked up Suction Cup from the ground, carrying her on his shoulder.

As he walked towards the Star City Shelter, Suction Cup, sitting on his shoulder, suddenly played the harmonica.

The sound of the harmonica was intermittent and the player seemed very rusty, but quickly became proficient.

A cold wind blew, and the sound of the harmonica was melodious.

He could even hear the longing in the tunc.

He looked at the dazed Suction Cup and felt upset.

Even though she had lost her consciousness, she still remembered to lay flowers on his grave and could recognize him in his living-dead state.

Could she really be Mu Qing?
