Ji Mian understood the meaning and immediately got into the role, taking over the conversation and continuing to inquire about other conditions while providing explanations.
"Alright, this time it’s still the aftermath brought by the stimulation of the Spirit Suppressor, and it’s very likely to happen again in the future. Lady needs not panic or fight against the memories in your mind, contact me anytime if there are any issues."
Lin Fu discreetly looked around, but she didn’t find Fu Xing behind Ji Mian, which inevitably disappointed her.
She quickly suppressed her emotions, however, and forced a smile as she was about to close the communication. Suddenly, a familiar voice came into her ears.
"Wait for me to return."
Lin Fu grinned happily, nodding joyfully.
The communication ended, and the screen changed to the starry sky background she had set. Lin Fu wrinkled her little nose and muttered, "What the heck!"
On the other side, Ji Mian wore a serious expression, swiftly operating the large smart brain in front of him, comparing sets of data.
"Lady’s memory shows signs of recovery; the last time, due to an accidental stimulation by the Spirit Suppressor, it triggered the erased memories from her genetic modification, reawakening them from the deeper world."
While speaking, he shook his head, his face filled with disbelief, "I’m becoming more and more curious about Lady’s mental structure. I have never heard of genetically modified people being able to recover their original memories. It’s simply inconceivable."
Fu Xing extended his index finger and waved it from side to side, "The memories of genetically modified people should have been cleaned, but hers weren’t." His intuition was never wrong.
"There’s another possibility."
"Perhaps the memories were cleaned, but someone artificially implanted a false memory."
Fu Xing’s gaze slightly hardened, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "What symptoms would there be if false memories were artificially implanted?"
"It’s hard to say since genetic modification technologies were long banned by the Empire and related operations are not allowed publicly. The academic world also lacks authoritative papers on it. The data researched by those mad scientists in private wouldn’t be shared either."
After saying this, he expectantly looked at Fu Xing.
As a researcher in the field of life genetics, what intrigued him most was uncovering the secrets of humans themselves, how to break the constraints of science and theology—the lifelong pursuit of all contemporary scientists.
Ji Mian secretly hoped to conduct a forbidden experiment; if he actually found a breakthrough, he would be the greatest scientist in human history.
"Commander, we detected that at a distance of twenty-two thousand light-years from here, three cargo ships were being chased by an interstellar pirate starship. The origin of the Star Thief is still uncertain, but the flag hung by the cargo ship bears the name Empress Fu."
"Empress Fu?" Fu Xing looked contemplative, feeling that the name seemed somewhat familiar, but with his impeccable memory, he couldn’t recall it at the moment.
Monger took out a photo from the detection and pointed at a unique emblem, "This, this is the emblem of Empress Fu. Not very famous in the Empire, but infamous among interstellar pirates. It is one of the top ten Star King Robbers from Eternal City, with the best reputation and the most mysterious origins. Nicknamed Empress Fu, said to be a woman, thus revered by many Female Hunters and Star Thieves."
"Is it the Star Thief who caused the turmoil in Eternal City?"
To Fu Xing, Eternal City might have a decent influence, but it was always just a third-rate gang of thieves, distinguishable only by those who should be killed and those who shouldn’t.
Now that he discovered the attacked cargo ship belonged to Empress Fu, he lost interest in rescuing them.
