Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Little One Asks, "Mommy, Is There a Little Sister Inside the Egg?
Su Wan was much calmer than Gu Zilan and the others had imagined.
"If the situation at that time was true, then Doris is probably at her limit. That’s why she teleported Ajue away at the last second. Vermilion Bird can’t get in touch with White Tiger, which means that the place where Ajue is, either has a very strong signal jamming, or it’s... another universe space."
Gu Zilan asked, "I can understand if it’s far away, but what do you mean by another space?"
"Like the initial Landis City, it was that virtual space world." Su Wan can’t summon Little Mushroom anymore, and she doesn’t know if it’s related to her having had a child.
But deep in her mind, there’s still a trace of spiritual power that’s connected to Little Mushroom.
Su Wan said, "I might have a way to locate where Ajue is, but it will take time and attempts."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zilan’s eyes lit up instantly, "Really? Auntie, tell me directly if you need anything. No matter the cost, we must find uncle!"
"Hmm, if I need anything, I’ll mention it to you."
When Su Wan was giving birth previously, she suddenly had a thought, a sudden idea rose in her heart.
Could it be that when Ajue was taken to that space, he was with Little Mushroom? Because Su Wan had previously planted a Little Mushroom on Lucifer’s mecha during Doris’s instant teleportation.
If, at that time, the Little Mushroom was safely at the Insectoid Base, and later, if it encountered Ajue and followed him... Hope sprouted in Su Wan’s heart.
She might really find a way to find Ajue!
Su Wan quickly adjusted herself and then brought back the Mermaid Egg. Little Gu Chen looked at the huge Mermaid Egg with great curiosity, forgetting to eat or sleep.
He curiously said, "Mom, there are little sisters inside this, right?"
Su Wan replied, "To be precise, there are two children inside, but whether they are little sisters, that’s not certain yet."
"Ah, it’s not certain? But, having two means at least one of them will be a little sister, right!"
The child was particularly adamant about having a little sister, and Little Gu Chen had started decorating the children’s room early in anticipation of the arrival of his sister.
Every time she saw Little Gu Chen so eager for a sister, Su Wan felt both tender and envious at the bottom of her heart.
Who wouldn’t want such a good brother?
Only with great difficulty did Su Wan persuade Little Gu Chen to go eat. She walked over to the Mermaid Egg and gently stroked it, "Little Mushroom, I don’t know if you can feel it, but if you can sense where Ajue is, you must tell me, okay?"
The egg was round and pleasing to look at, shiny and white. Su Wan couldn’t tell if it was her eyes playing tricks on her, but it seemed like the egg quivered?
However, the fact that Gu Jue had gone missing was known by many people.
Most citizens of the Empire Planets were very sad. Gu Jue was their Interstellar War God after all. How could he just go missing?
Some people said that Commander Gu had perished together with the Insect Queen.
Many would rather believe that Gu Jue was just missing than accept this idea. But then again, if he really was missing, with his capabilities, who could have made him disappear? And why hasn’t he returned?
Lucifer, who had escaped overnight with the few remaining subordinates, stroked his chin while looking at the news on the Star Web.
"Doris is quite something, taking a scapegoat with her even in death. But, could she really kill Gu Jue? No no no, nor could Gu Jue kill her."
After mumbling to himself for a while, a young woman with short black hair stepped out.
She was wearing glasses, giving her a fragile and scholarly appearance. She wasn’t tall, but upon closer inspection, her facial features bore a slight resemblance to Lucifer.
Upon seeing her, Lucifer spoke, "Moran, why have you suddenly come out? Aren’t you resting well?"
Moran adjusted her glasses and said, "Brother, I can’t sleep anymore. What are your plans for the future?"
Others might not recognize this Moran, but she was once the golden screenwriter for Nick Film Company. The movie that Su Wan watched with Xiaochen and the others, the one during the incident, was written by Moran.
Lucifer pointed at the star net and said, "Gu Jue has disappeared!"
Moran glanced at it and said coldly and clearly, "Gu Jue is so powerful, he’s the god of the entire Empire planet; he won’t die so easily. If he’s disappeared, he will surely return. Besides, even if he has disappeared, the Royal Star Fleet is still around, and Gu Zilan is a person with high EQ and IQ. With the few people you have now, you won’t be able to achieve much."
"Moran, you still speak as unpleasantly as ever," Lucifer commented.
"I’m stating the facts."
At that moment, someone delivered a pile of stuff, and Moran went out to bring the items inside.
Soon, the entire room was filled with a rich aroma.
Lucifer unapologetically used a pink tentacle to pick up a pair of chopsticks and said, "Where did you order this takeout from? It smells quite good."
"From the Su Family Restaurant."
The chopsticks held by the pink tentacle paused slightly.
Moran said with a tinge of regret, "Actually, I prefer eating food made by the Food God, but she’s cooking less and less now."
Now that Commander Gu is missing, Su Wan is probably even less in the mood to cook.
Only food made by Su Wan could give Moran a taste of home.
"Speaking of which, I also have quite a fondness for Su Wan," Lucifer mused.
Moran looked up puzzled.
As Lucifer ate the sweet and sour pork ribs, he reminisced, "The first time Doris found me, she said that if I helped her kill someone, she would help me to expand the Star Thief. Then, she used spatial magic to send me back to the past three times to kill Su Wan."
Moran asked, "Why kill Su Wan?"
Lucifer replied, "I don’t know. Doris is just a madwoman. But Su Wan has been too lucky. I failed the first two times, and just as I was about to succeed the last time, that’s when Gu Jue arrived with the Interstellar Guard Corps."
"Later I heard that when Su Wan was in her teens, she fell into a coma and slept for several years. But then, she actually woke up again."
Moran suddenly had a thought, "After she woke up, was there any difference from before she fell into the coma?"
Lucifer shook his head, "I wouldn’t know that. You’d have to ask someone familiar with her to know the differences. Moran, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"It’s nothing. You still haven’t said what you plan to do next?"
"I’m badly injured and there aren’t many people I can rely on right now. I’m thinking of lying low for now."
If possible, Lucifer also hoped that Gu Jue hadn’t died just like that. Of course, if Gu Jue never came back, he wouldn’t mind trying to capture Su Wan later on.
Since Gu Jue could no longer take care of his wife, then, why not let his arch-enemy do it!
