Chapter 437 - Clue
It was already 3 o’clock in the morning and it wasn’t good to wake up their teammates in the middle
of the night. Yu Hanjiang remembered that Xiao Lou had fainted in the afternoon and hadn’t eaten
dinner, so he looked through Shao Qingge’s luggage to find some food.
It wasn’t good to ask the server to send food so he simply cooked a bowl of noodles and added a
poached egg.
A moment later, Yu Hanjiang came to the bedroom with the bowl of steaming noodles and called out
to Xiao Lou. “Come and eat something. You haven’t eaten dinner and you must be hungry.”
Xiao Lou’s mind was full of messy memories and he had completely forgotten about this thing called
‘hunger.’
He smelled the noodles and his stomach cried out in response. The growling was particularly clear in
the quiet bedroom. Xiao Lou rubbed his stomach and coughed slightly. “I slept for 12 hours and I’m
really hungry.”
Yu Hanjiang’s lips slightly curved and he handed the chopsticks over. “Eat it.”
Xiao Lou sat down at the table and quickly finished the bowl of noodles. The food in his stomach
made his whole body warm up. He had been used to living alone but now he felt it was nice to be
taken care of.

Xiao Lou smiled at Yu Hanjiang. “Thank you. It is delicious.”
Yu Hanjiang packed it up and raised an eyebrow at him. “Do you still need to be polite with me?”
Xiao Lou wiped his mouth clean and changed the topic. “Has Brother Jiu thought about any other
clues? Is there anything about the people who saved them on the bug planet apart from the
singing?”
Yu Hanjiang shook his head. “Brother Jiu lost too much blood when he was rescued and his
consciousness was blurred. He even thought the song was a hallucination and a sound from
Heaven.As for the rest, he didn’t see anything and he doesn’t remember what happened after he
was rescued.”
Xiao Lou was thoughtful. “In other words, the only clue at present is ‘singing.’ My sister told us that
fishermen sometimes hear the singing at sea. Is it just a legend? Let’s rest first and tomorrow we will
investigate together.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded. “Okay, go and take a shower before sleeping a bit.”
Xiao Lou’s clothes were soaked in sweat and he was really uncomfortable. Therefore, he took a
shower, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.
In a daze, he dreamed of his five year old self locked up in a room with countless cloned children.
The same faces kept swaying in front of him. Then the faces of the children gradually changed to his
present appearance.
There were countless faces with all types of expressions. Some were smiling while others showed
emotions like indifference, ridicule, hatred or jealousy... countless ‘selves’ appeared in front of him as
Xiao Lou curled up in the strange nightmare. Yu Hanjiang found that Xiao Lou was cold all over so he
reached out and gently held Xiao Lou in his arms, patting the other person gently on the back like he
was appeasing a child.
The warmth from Yu Hanjiang calmed down Xiao Lou in his sleep.
He reached out as if grabbing a life-saving straw and hugged Yu Hanjiang tightly before falling asleep.
Once he woke up the next day, Xiao Lou found that his face was against the man’s sturdy chest, his
hands were tightly hugging the other person’s waist and he was leaning against Yu Hanjiang in a
‘depending on each other’ posture.
Xiao Lou’s ears turned red as he quickly broke free of the man’s arms and coughed. “I had a
nightmare last night. I dreamed that many clones were in front of me.”
Yu Hanjiang held Xiao Lou’s hand. “I know. That’s why I was holding you to sleep. I wanted you to
have a good rest.”
Xiao Lou’s heart warmed at this soft gaze and his mouth curled up in a smile. “It is just a nightmare.
Come on, it is time to go.”
The two of them walked out of the bedroom. The others were already gathered in the dining room.
Ye Qi saw Xiao Lou and hurried over. “Professor Xiao, you woke up? Are you feeling better? Yesterday
afternoon, you suddenly fainted and you scared me.”
Xiao Lou reassured him. “I’m fine. I just fainted because I had a terrible headache. I remembered
what happened when I was five years old.”
The four people heard this and immediately walked curiously to Xiao Lou.
Lu Jiuchuan was the first one to ask. “What did you remember?”
Xiao Lou looked serious as he explained softly, “Our guess is correct. The emperor cloned so many
copies in order to raise a Gu. The 100 five year old children were locked up in the same room by the
emperor to compete and only the best can survive. In the end, including me, four children survived.
Let’s assume I am number 1, the very obedient Xiao Lou that Hanjiang saw with the emperor is
number 2, the one who attended the birthday banquet and seems the most like the crown prince is
number 3 and the one we have never seen before is number 4.”
Lu Jiuchuan was full of resentment. “In other words, the other 97 clones were killed artificially? The
emperor is really sick!”
Ye Qi murmured, “The emperor’s way of grooming his heir is really amazing...”
Xiao Lou told them, “We currently don’t have any clues about the fourth Xiao Lou. He might’ve been
hidden by the emperor or he might’ve escaped from the Locke Empire. We should go find the
invisible people who can sing. They might have some clues.”
The team members agreed.
Yu Hanjiang said, “The entire Azure Planet is over 50% water. It is too large and it is better for us to

find a vehicle.”
Shao Qingge thought about it. “I will go find a suspension car.”
Since the other four had sneaked into the Azure Empire and couldn’t be discovered, only Shao
Qingge and Ye Qi could freely travel. Thus, Shao Qingge came forward to buy a large suspension
vehicle that could fit up to 10 people.
The car was similar to a ‘floating house’ with luxurious furnishings inside.
In the future, the mainstream means of transportation in the cities of the planets were suspension
vehicles. Air traffic was developed and there were no traffic jams. Moreover, the vehicles had
automatic navigation and driving so there was no need to consider the issue of a driver’s license.
Shao Qingge drove back to the hotel to pick up the other four. Then he followed the navigation to the
nearest beach.
The beach here was as beautiful as the one in the City of the Sun. The white sandy beach was clean
and reflective while the sand was delicate and soft. Many tourists played barefoot on the beach
while others were playing recreational water activities.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi inquired along the way, “Have you ever heard of the invisible people who
sing?”
The tourist looked dazed. “I haven’t heard of it!”
Ye Qi also asked some innocent children. “Have your parents ever told you that disobedient children
will be caught and eaten by an invisible person who sings in the middle of the night?”
The children looked at Ye Qi like he was a fool. “Haha, big brother, are you three years old? Only
three year old children can believe such a story!”
Ye Qi, “......”
The two men investigated at the seaside all morning and got nothing.
Everyone knew it was just a legend, like the fairy tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. If they
pulled over a person by the side of the road and asked ‘Have you seen Snow White’ then that person
would feel they were sick.
Even children thought that Ye Qi was sick. Only three year old children would believe this type of
story, not five year olds.
Back in the suspension car, Ye Qi had a headache. “No one has seen the invisible people who can sing
and no one has heard the song. Is this legend reliable?”
Yu Hanjiang frowned. “Check somewhere else.”
Lu Jiuchuan leaned back on his seat, crossed his legs and analyzed it. “This legend isn’t groundless. I
think there must be something in the sea but humans live on land. We don’t know enough about
the mysterious ocean. It is no use asking at tourist attractions. It is better to go find some fishermen
who fish for a living.”
Xiao Lou also agreed with this idea. “Look for fishermen. They know the sea best.”
This was the beach closest to the hotel. Shao Qingge had driven the suspension car here. After
hearing Xiao Lou’s words, Shao Qingge modified the navigation and the suspension car headed to the
area where fishermen usually lived.
Ye Qi found the oldest man in the fishing village. “Elder, have you heard the legend of the invisible
people?”
The old man basked in the sun and smiled. “Who is it? My ears aren’t good.”
Ye Qi leaned close to the old man’s ears and amplified his volume. “Invisible people from the sea! I
am from abroad. I heard that there were people singing every night and came to see out of
curiosity.”
The old man squinted. “Singing? Oh, the daughter of Old Zhang next door likes singing best.”
Ye Qi was full of helplessness
