Chapter 370 Corpse and Cat
At this moment, there was only a corpse and a cat left in the prince's bedroom.
Mr. Cat said, "You look as if your queen has just officially divorced you."
In fact, it was no different from being abandoned, except that it was the boundary between life and death. "It's not my queen, it's this prince's." Xiao Zhen said, "I must point out that the prince has only been dead for a day, strictly speaking, most of the day."
"Yes."
"Do you know how many things I've encountered today? Each one is worse than the last. It's only been half a day, and I've encountered so much trouble. I can't imagine how many good things will come in a row later."
"The worst that can happen is that you die a few more times."
"Oh, I'll die a few more times." Xiao Zhen said, "Every time I talk to you, I can confirm one thing."
"What?"
"That is, compared to you, Captain Madara's friendship towards me seems genuine."
"Tsk, tsk, are you beginning to miss that chicken in front of me?" Mr. Cat said, "However, if you want to find the chicken who truly loves you and your human classmates, the identity of a prince is very useful. Even if the queen wants to chop off your head tomorrow, you have to continue to pretend to be a prince."
Xiao Zhen sat down in the room and asked, "Do you have any clues now?"
"The hidden weapon that killed Prince Alsiel was not a local product," Mr. Cat said. "It was a contraband item from an unknown source on the black market. The same thing happened with the hidden weapon that attacked you at the Algi ceremony. But this does not rule out the possibility of a local mastermind behind the incident."
What you said is as good as nothing. Xiao Zhen said: "There is a strange mutation disease spreading on Xiyiqi Star. Do you know anything ?"
"I know. The mutant disease that ravages the Xiyiqi people."
"So what exactly is going on?" Xiao Zhen said, "Is it caused by the environment, a mutation of the Xiyiqi people themselves, or someone deliberately..."
"You have been a prince for a day, so you should have been exposed to some inside information. The Crimson Mutation can be described in one word: despair."
"Even you say that?"
"The biological genetic technology in the Galaxy is already very advanced. Many intelligent races have long possessed the ability to modify genetic information. They modify gene fragments to avoid malignant genetic diseases, improve biological performance and create new species. Many intelligent races have achieved advanced genetic engineering, and the Xiyiqi are no exception. Logically speaking, this large-scale mutation is completely avoidable in an advanced intelligent race."
"I know."
"The Crimson mutation is very strange," said Mr. Cat. "Queen Xiyiqi had invited many interstellar genetic experts to assist in the research. But no matter how hard these experts tried, they could not find any genetic fragments in the Xiyiqi gene template that might cause mutations. All the information interpretation on the DNA was within the normal range."
Xiao Zhen remained silent. He recalled the demonstration given to him by the genetic expert killer whale Noah not long ago.
"Some scientific researchers have trimmed and removed all the genetic fragments on the Xiyiqi gene template, but unfortunately, mutations still occur randomly. The genes of the Xiyiqi people are like a curse. Even the genes that look perfect and healthy will still mutate under experimental conditions. There were even experts who disregarded moral ethics and mixed Xiyiqi gene fragments with genes from other races to create strange monsters, but as long as the proportion of Xiyiqi gene fragments reaches a certain level, mutations will occur. In fact, the research on deep red mutations has long reached a dead end."
"Is this what you mean by despair?" Xiao Zhen whispered.
"That's right." Mr. Cat said, "Some people speculate that there may be an error in the genetic replication and inheritance of a certain generation of Xiyiqi queens, and subsequent queens can only continue to pass on the genes based on the wrong combination. This may also be the reason for the deep red mutation. This is the most tragic and helpless inference, because it means that the Xiyiqi race will eventually go extinct in the mutation."
“…”
"Of course there is another possibility." Mr. Cat looked at Xiao Zhen, "That is..."
Xiao Zhen said, "Black Box Club."
"Only the lunatics in the Black Box Society could manipulate the genes of an entire race to this extent," said Mr. Cat.
"It must be the Black Box Club!" Xiao Zhen said.
"Whether it's the Black Box Society or not, in this chaotic situation, we have to find them out."
"So do you have any other clues?" Xiao Zhen said, "What do you think of the Sadis?"
"They're all too fat."
"I didn't ask you what you thought of their appearance!"
"The Saidi people coveted this planet." Mr. Cat said, "The Xiyiqi and the Saidi people colonized this planet at about the same time, but the Xiyiqi expanded much faster, and the Saidi people missed the best time to colonize. They were not satisfied with the existing land. This disaster of the Xiyiqi people was a blessing from heaven for the Saidi people, and it directly grasped the Xiyiqi people's lifeblood."
"I suppose so."
"The Saidi people have made a lot of money from the rejuvenation agent, and they are also using public opinion to put pressure on Xiyiqi. Previously, the Saidi people proposed to exchange some land and ports for the expansion of the rejuvenation agent production, but of course the queen refused." Mr. Cat said, "If the Crimson mutation continues to wreak havoc among the Xiyiqi people, I'm afraid the queen's persistence will not last long."
Behind the import of drugs is the dignity of the planet. He remembered the anger in the queen's eyes just now. The burden on her was far greater than he imagined. "Is there a black box behind the Sadis?"
“I don’t know,” Mr. Cat said. “Maybe the black box is colluding with some killer whales, or maybe this group of killer whales just got lucky.”
"…" What sin have I committed to deserve to be on this planet? "So the intelligence your Overseer's Eye has given me so far is that I don't know. It could be the Black Box Society, or maybe it's the Black Box Society!"
"You are a prince now, so just do your best to find them."
This bastard cat must have hidden a lot of things from me. Xiao Zhen stared at it and said, "I want to tell you something."
"What?"
"People from the Security Committee are here too."
"oh?"
"Inspector Shadow, now he's called Sherlock Holmes."
"Oh." Mr. Cat's expression didn't even change. "Don't worry about him."
"Are you, the Eyes of Supervision, too arrogant?"
"There's no need to waste time talking about things that are not worth mentioning."
"..." Xiao Zhen asked again, "By the way, are the crew members of the Zejin okay?"
"They're great. I sent them on a sightseeing tour of the nearby moons ."
"Satellite? Tourism?"
"Well, in order to prevent you from getting caught and implicated, I sent them away from home." Mr. Cat wagged his tail. "This way, once you're done, everyone can run away easily."
"You are so heartless and ungrateful..."
"After all, compared to me, only that chicken is truly affectionate towards you."
"..." Xiao Zhen smiled at the cat.
He pressed the button and Conte walked in.
The prince used his eyes to signal the cat squatting arrogantly on the table. Conde immediately flew into a rage, picked up the cat by the scruff of the neck, apologized to the prince, and dragged it out of the bedroom.
