The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Sound Waves

After Little Golden Dragon finished speaking, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan... everyone pondered what the two words it mentioned meant.

Huh?

Go?

Two different fluctuations, said two words.

Yue Qiyuan said in a deep voice, ”Could it be that they discovered something, suddenly became confused, stopped to observe, and without finding anything, just left?”

Shen Changqing thought for a moment and said, ”I think so too. Perhaps, the process went like this: these two unknown entities were roaming in the starry sky and suddenly found something puzzling to them. That’s why one of them suddenly said ’Huh?’ Then, they stopped to observe, carefully scanning their surroundings, but couldn’t find this thing that amazed, confused, or puzzled them. It’s possible they were in a hurry to do something and didn’t linger any longer, and the other entity urged them to hurry up and leave, so it said ’Go’?”

After hearing this, everyone found it very reasonable, and all turned to look at the Little Golden Dragon still nestled in Ji You’s arms.

Little Golden Dragon nodded with seriousness, saying, ”Listening to their audio fluctuations, that’s my conclusion as well.”

Ji You asked, ”Then... what did they discover at that time that made them stop?”

As soon as this question was raised, everyone who felt they had grasped something fell into contemplation again. Chu Jiaojiao squinted her eyes and said, ”They are already strong enough to crush any of us with a flick of a finger. The wind unintentionally stirred when they walk can cause our spaceship to shake violently... With such powerful strength, what would make them suddenly stop?”

Strange.

Too strange.

...

For a moment, no one had an answer.

Yue Qiyuan said, ”Let’s not discuss why they stopped for the time being. Are these entities already prevalent in this starry sky, or did they suddenly appear in human society? Our monitors can’t capture or observe their appearance—is there invisibility material within their bodies, or are their bodies inherently formless and intangible... Or perhaps...”

As Yue Qiyuan raised this question, everyone again sank into deep thought.

Chu Jiaojiao said, ”I lean towards them having solid bodies, only their physical components contain invisible material, which makes it impossible for our current technology to capture just yet.”

Yue Qiguang rather agreed and said, ”Dad thinks so too!”

Shen Changqing pondered momentarily, neither agreeing nor opposing directly, and said, ”Then... if such entities really exist within the universe humans inhabit, why have we never discovered them? Could it be that they are alien species? Originating from beyond the eight major star systems that humanity has yet to develop?”

”Hmm?” Yue Qiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, ”That’s possible. Could it be that they existed before but went undocumented?”

Shen Changqing was somewhat regretful and said, ”It’s a pity we couldn’t spare the effort at that time to capture and record the sound waves of such entities; otherwise, we could have attempted to search and compare them with past data.”

At that moment, Ji You suddenly said, ”I recorded them.”

Everyone: ”Ah?”

Shen Changqing asked in surprise, ”When did you record them?”

Ji You’s lips curled into a subtle smile and said, ”At that time, I was worried we might actually die, and Teacher Mu, along with other teachers from school, as well as our relatives and friends, wouldn’t know the cause of our death. I wouldn’t let my own death become an unsolved mystery in human history. So, with my last breath, I activated the Light Computer’s recording function.”

Everyone: ”!!!”

Yue Qiguang jumped over, couldn’t help but give Ji You’s shoulder a hard slap, and shouted, ”Number 4444, well done!”

Yue Qiyuan also looked at Ji You with a very complex expression in his eyes and said, ”Ji You, you’re getting stronger.”

The situation at the time truly was a matter of life and death, hanging by a thread; any distraction was unattainable. Yue Qiyuan couldn’t do it, and he believed neither could Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Sheng Qingyan, Liu Fufeng... None of them could do it, but number 4444 Ji You left herself a card up her sleeve in that situation.

She left the crucial information about them!

Hearing Yue Qiyuan’s words, Ji You grinned and said, ”Ordinary, ordinary, just the strongest in the universe.”

Yue Qiyuan was speechless at her words but refrained from further criticizing her.

”I just love Ji You’s confidence, carefree, and proud side,” Chu Jiaojiao jumped beside Ji You with an infatuated smile, ”especially when Ji You shows off.”

Ji You hummed, pushed Chu Jiaojiao’s face away, and said, ”Don’t idolize me, I’m just a legend.”

Chu Jiaojiao was pushed away, but leaned back in, ”Ji You, you’re getting better and better.”

Ji You: ”Hmm.”

Beside them, Shen Changqing’s expression was complex when looking at Ji You, with admiration, concern, but more of encouragement! Knowing Ji You can do it, he was determined to be able to do it in the future.

Shen Changqing’s eyes sparkled, ”Ji You, how did you manage in that situation?”

Ji You straightened her face and said, ”It’s not difficult at all. Just remember always to leave yourself a card up your sleeve; I was vigilant around me before anything happened. When the crisis broke, I was prepared in the first instant, so I had a dozen seconds more to respond than you did.”

What Shen Changqing heard gave him something to think about.

Ji You patted Shen Changqing’s shoulder and said earnestly, ”Little Stupid, work hard to learn; the world is so vast, you have much to learn.”

Shen Changqing: ”Cough, cough...”

Shen Changqing said, ”Ji You, can you...”

Ji You hurriedly interrupted him, saying, ”Alright, alright... I won’t call you by that nickname anymore, Little Stupid.”

Shen Changqing: ”...”

Over here.

Liu Fufeng, Little Golden Dragon, and Sheng Qingyan didn’t join the discussion. Liu Fufeng sat in the seat next to Ji You, head down, shoulders shaking, seemingly still in shock.

Little Golden Dragon poked its head out from Ji You’s embrace, listening attentively to everyone’s discussion with great enthusiasm.

Sheng Qingyan directly closed her eyes and snoozed on the tabletop.

After a moment of contemplation, Yue Qiyuan said, ”Ji You, the soundwaves you recorded, play them again for everyone to hear. Maybe we can find similar data on Star Network?”

Upon hearing this, Ji You immediately prepared to replay the two soundwaves.

Suddenly—

Sheng Qingyan, who had been lying with her eyes closed, abruptly raised her head and shouted, ”Stop!”

Ji You: ”???”

Sheng Qingyan frowned deeply and said, ”No one knows if openly playing their soundwaves will attract their companions, or even them, back to us. These are entities undocumented in human history; no one can guarantee what they are capable of.”
