Chapter 652 - 5: Gu Ningxuan’s Otherworldly Travels (Part 5)

"Copy all the memory content about that novel..." Marshal Gu glanced coldly at Gu Ningxuan, who was lying on the operating table showing signs of waking up, and continued, "Before he fully wakes up..."

That novel... the description of the Insect Race... was too advanced... and it was written by that woman named Su Jiameng... Marshal Gu was secretly analyzing these few resources and information. Just as he was lost in thought, a chilly gust of wind hit the back of his neck.

He barely dodged this inexplicable sneak attack when his collar was suddenly grabbed, his back slammed against the cold, hard wall, causing a painful jolt. Calming down, he took a closer look and found that the face identical to his own was filled with anger, eyes burning with fury, "What are you doing?"

Marshal Gu slightly turned his head, looked at the virtual screen still playing the footage, and with a cold voice, retorted, "The setup is so obvious, don’t you know it by now? Or do you know but ask anyway? Your previous state made me suspect your involvement with the Insect Race. Be grateful, I still have the mind to bring you here to extract your memories to prove your innocence, rather than directly nipping the danger in the bud."

Gu Ningxuan and Marshal Gu, fundamentally the same, only behaved a bit differently due to different experiences. But if they swapped roles, Gu Ningxuan would make the same choice, because the risk was too great to gamble with.

"You—" Gu Ningxuan, so angry, thought about strangling this guy outright. What had he done to provoke him enough to extract his memories... Doesn’t this mean some deliberately hidden secrets were also revealed to him? Thinking of this, he fell into his own thoughts, while Marshal Gu took the opportunity to reverse the situation, freeing his restrained neck, leaving creases on his always straight military uniform.

"Even though your innocence has been proven, why you came here is still a mystery. I think your memories might give some hints..." Marshal Gu, knowing well what the other was angry about, deliberately used this to provoke him.

Gu Ningxuan, having an inherent understanding of himself... or rather, of the person in front of him, quickly saw through his intention, and asked coldly, "If you have any questions, just ask me. There’s no need to sneak into others’ memories like a voyeur!"

Alright, the researchers present were all dumbfounded, unsure how to deal with the scene before them.

If that memory wasn’t falsified, it indicated that the young man was actually from another world of [Marshal Gu]... They were scientists and had hypothesized about the existence of cosmic planes, so they wouldn’t doubt Gu Ningxuan’s existence, only be excited!

But precisely because Gu Ningxuan was another [Marshal Gu], the researchers were thrown into disarray... Thanks to the Marshal’s long-standing authority, not one dared joke about him, and no one would disrespect him, let alone challenge his authority.

One Marshal Gu was already pressure enough, having to face a moving iceberg after battling the Insect Race; as subordinates, wasn’t it pitiful? Now another potential iceberg emerged... How were they supposed to survive!

Just as these subordinates were silently complaining, Gu Ningxuan had made a decision, "I know what you want to understand, have them delete the extracted memories, if you want to know anything, just ask me... I swear by the entire Gu Family, there won’t be a single lie!"

Marshal Gu slightly lowered his eyes, gestured to the operating researcher to delete the extracted memories along with the backups. Gu Ningxuan, still uneasy, coldly instructed, "Don’t hold onto any lucky thought; not only must the extracted memories be deleted, but everything seen today must be forgotten, in the shortest possible time!"

Marshal Gu replied similarly, "They are my subordinates, it’s not your place to lecture here. If I say delete, not a single trace will remain, you can rest assured of that... Of course, I hope you adhere to your promise as well."

The initial clash between the two did not leave a good memory for either side, nor a good impression; it’s already fortunate they didn’t become enemies.

Gu Ningxuan felt that guy was cold, unkind, radical, and disrespectful, a debt that would have to be settled sooner or later, daring to peek into his memories! Whereas, Marshal Gu considered Gu Ningxuan to be foolish for being easily framed, his brain’s intelligence consistently low, impulsive and reckless, disrespectful... He would definitely find the opportunity to give him a good lesson!
