Chapter 590 Fruit in the Stone Cup
“it is this?”

After clearing out the huge number of corpses in the ruins, everyone finally saw the items they wanted to see.

However, the result was beyond their expectations. It was not some powerful weapon or luxurious scepter.

Instead, it was just a shriveled fruit, soaked at the bottom of a crude-looking stone cup, isolated by an unknown transparent liquid.

When Tongying was taken down, I didn’t feel anything.

Furthermore, after being moved, the fruit was covered with transparent liquid again, which swept away the uneasiness and fear that had lingered in everyone’s hearts.

“It is this.” Qi Sui’an confirmed directly: “Is everyone’s nervousness gone?”

This question naturally received a unanimous answer from everyone.

“It doesn’t look like it.” Mao Chuan muttered. He thought that part of the Dark Evil God would be very terrifying.

It’s either flesh and blood tentacles or surrounded by black air, but its true appearance is a bit challenging to your worldview.

What’s more important is that there is no impact at all. He has already prepared himself mentally to sacrifice most of the people.

Now think about it again, since it was left behind by a super ancient civilization for later civilizations, it must be properly handled.

Otherwise, let alone using it, you can’t even get close to it. What’s the point of staying? It will just become a hidden danger.

“We cannot use human thinking and ideas to define darkness.” Qi Sui’an said, and then added: “Resettlement as soon as possible, and then send back to headquarters.”

“Then how do we use this? It’s a seed, we can’t just plant it,” Mao Chuan asked.

Although he didn’t know why the liquid in the stone cup had not evaporated after so many years, he was certain that it was the infiltration and covering of the liquid that prevented the seeds from being affected by external factors.

If we really want to plant it, we don’t know what the consequences will be.

“Let’s wait for Commander Du’s news. We are only responsible for excavation and archaeology.”

“We can only study how to use it further.” Qi Sui’an certainly knew how to use it. Just plant it and then die together.

If we are lucky, there will be some remnants like the ultra-ancient civilization, and then we will recycle and reuse the seeds and then wait to die.

The price of defeating the Dark Evil God is the destruction of the super-ancient civilization, simple and brutal.

Of course, this requires the cooperation of the Star Defense Corps stones.

Therefore, before that, if the Blue Sky Team wants to use it, they must collect all of them.

It is the ultimate means, and it will definitely end in a fight to the death. There is no way to save yourself.

With Qi Sui’an speaking, everyone naturally obeyed.

There are quite a few people who are curious and want to take a look, but due to its preciousness, it cannot be seen by everyone.

“The remaining value is not high. Deputy Minister Miao, you arrange the aftermath, and we will follow you back first.” Qi Sui’an directly put the task in Chun Niu Ma’s hands.

The other party didn’t have any objections, just nodded, answered with the word “OK”, and started working.

He was very good at this and not at all unfamiliar with it. It was obvious that he was promoted from a front-line staff member.

On the other side, Qi Sui’an took Tong Ying and Mao Chuan on a special plane and went directly to the headquarters.

We went straight ahead without any obstruction and met Du Keng very smoothly.

“You don’t look to be in very good condition.” Qi Sui’an sat opposite Du Keng, with a large number of Star Defense Corps stones between them.

Tong Ying and Mao Chuan worked together to place the stone cup and seeds in front of Du Keng.

At this time, Du Keng was just skin and bones, and he might fall down if the wind blew.

“The workload is too intense. Sorry to bother you.” Du Keng did not hide his situation, but he did not explain to Qi Sui’an. He turned to look at Tong Ying and said, “Captain Tong, please go out and wait. I have something to discuss with Professor Qi and the others.”

Tong Ying was not suitable to stay and listen to these things, so he sent her away.

After the people left, Du Keng’s tired eyes revealed a hint of determination. He stared at Qi Sui’an and asked, “I really want to know, Professor Qi, who are you?”

With his indirect contact with the Dark Evil God and the acquisition of a large amount of technological inheritance from the super-ancient civilization, Du Keng discovered more and more untruths in his investigation of Qi Sui’an’s resume and experience.

That feeling is as illusory as a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water.

It clearly exists but cannot be effectively determined.

“Me? Just a person.” How could Qi Sui’an not know what the other party meant, he was just pretending to be stupid.

“Commander Du, you haven’t been influenced by the Dark Evil God, have you?”

Having said that, Qi Sui’an turned the tables.

As for admitting it, it doesn’t really matter, but on what basis?
He hid it so well, why did he have to cause trouble for himself?

Even if Qi Sui’an was extremely bored, he would not do such a thing, let alone something that would only do harm and no good.

“My mental state is indeed not good.” Du Keng admitted openly: “The Star Defense Corps stones and the erosion of the Dark Evil God.”

“But I’m not that stupid yet.”

“Since you don’t want to say it, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I saw everything you did.”

“But I still want to know, how to use it?” Du Keng asked, pointing to the seeds in the stone cup.

Du Keng was able to keenly sense that he felt a lot more relaxed after Qi Sui’an arrived.

It was like the arrival of a being far more terrifying than the Dark Evil God. Even though it was fleeting, it left a deep impression on Du Keng. So he had to suspect that this human being in front of him, whom he could not see through at all, might have an unknown relationship with the accelerated revival of darkness.

From the moment the other party stepped into the Blue Sky Team, they had already used the Blue Sky Team as chess pieces for their layout.

Of course, he didn’t think about breaking up with him, he just wanted to get some information from Qi Sui’an.

In fact, it is possible that he guessed wrong, but it doesn’t matter, just treat it as a mystery.

It would be best if he was really fooled. If he failed, it would just be a loss of face, which is nothing to Du Keng.

“Commander Du, I know there are some inaccuracies in my previous resume, but I had to do this. If you want to check, you can find evidence.”

“You can’t think that I’m the incarnation of the dark evil god or a supernatural being just because of this little problem.” Qi Sui’an said in a helpless tone.

Mao Chuan also echoed: “Yes, Commander Du must have misunderstood.”

Seeing that he had gained nothing, Du Keng gave up the follow-up and said bitterly: “I’m sorry, Professor Qi is too good, and I’m in this mental state. It’s normal for me to be suspicious.”

“Fortunately, I’m about to step down, otherwise something bad would happen sooner or later.”

Even though he backed down so quickly, the suspicion in his heart still existed.

“What a pity.” Du Keng felt regretful. No matter which possibility it was, he no longer had any chance to follow up.

This kind of thing can only happen once and not twice.

Otherwise, he would have to suspect that he was being influenced by the dark evil god, who intended to eliminate the elites within humanity.

“When will you retire? Who will take over?” Qi Sui’an continued to ask questions.

“In five days, Mao Chuan will take over, but don’t worry, with the subsequent separation of powers, he won’t be able to control you.” Du Keng said with a hint of humor.

This is one of the few times we can find joy in adversity.

“Tsk, so he got promoted, and he said he was promoted to the third line, so he was hiding it from me.” Qi Sui’an said with a smile: “The things have been delivered, so I will go back first if there is nothing else.”

“The information about the super ancient civilization that I have studied over the years has been almost completely excavated.”

“I’m afraid there won’t be such a large output in the future, so I’m afraid there won’t be any further achievements.”

“My suggestion is to further divide the responsibilities of the ultra-ancient civilization archaeology department and cast a wide net.”

“Although I don’t know why the headquarters collected so many Star Defense Corps stones, but according to my intuition, it must be related to the stone cup seeds.”

After hearing this, Du Keng also understood what Qi Sui’an wanted to do, which was that he just didn’t want to do it anymore.

Maybe it’s because of my own doubts.

“You misunderstood, I have no plans.” Du Keng hurriedly explained.

However, Qi Sui’an went on to say: “I’m not angry, but I’m really empty-handed.”

“I have been accumulating this stuff for my whole life, and it only takes a few days to spit it out.”

“I am a human, not a god. If I rely on myself alone, I will collapse sooner or later.”

Since Qi Sui’an said so, Du Keng could only swallow what he wanted to say next and change his words.

“Okay, take a good rest during this time.”

“Mao Chuan, please see Professor Qi off for me.”

“I think I need to take a rest.” Du Keng only felt a sense of discomfort. It was obvious that the invasion of the dark evil god had intensified again.

Seeing this, the two of them did not stay and just left.

Only Du Keng was left, and soon the skull reappeared.

“Where did you go just now?” Du Keng asked.

The skull turned around on the ceiling and said, “Wait until you die, of course.”

“Someone came just now. What do you think?” Du Keng asked bluntly.

“Two, right? I have sent you the power of God.” A dark mist emerged from the empty eye sockets of the skull, revealing a greedy look.

Its eyes were fixed on the fruit in the stone cup.

If it could obtain the power of this god, perhaps it would be able to break away from the Dark Evil God and no longer be a remnant of the other party.

“Three.” Du Keng corrected the skull’s words: “The third one was sitting where you are now and talked to me for quite a while.”

At this moment, the flying skulls couldn’t help but pause, and the dark mist in their eye sockets seemed to slow down.

“This is impossible!!!” There was a sharpness in the skull’s voice.

But reason told it that Du Keng would not lie to him because the other party had no reason and no meaning.

Yet it detected no trace of any human being, nothing existed.

“Nothing is impossible.” Du Keng showed a long-lost smile: “You are not the Dark Evil God after all.”

“So, don’t mind telling me how to use it?” Du Keng asked, pointing at the stone cup seed that was known as the power of the gods.

I guess it would be willing to speak now.
