Most Wanted [Interstellar]

Chapter 12

Erwin had pictured himself on vacation—he thought he'd sleep through it all—must be because he'd been thinking about such nonsense, and Plank had never given him a vacation.

This old, dilapidated house had been a research site for Planck when he was young, when he was working on his social sciences, and then Irwin came, when he was working on his electronic programming.Maybe because this is a less important monitoring point, any scientist's application will be approved, so they all choose to stay here for a while, treating it as a vacation spot.

Now it is his prison.

"Does it feel better to be outdoors? The oxygen content of this planet is high." Ivan asked.

"Not bad." Alvin took a deep breath, "Today's starry sky is very high, it looks good."

"We've been there for half an hour, do we want to go into the house now?"

"No need." Alvin seemed to have a lot of leisure today.

"And..." The alarm light on Ivan's head lit up, "What's the sound in the room? Someone is screaming strangely? Did you hear that, Mr. Herman?"

Alvin obviously heard it, and he said calmly, "Let's go in."

This old house is still so simple, and the control hall is empty.Out of the instinct of serving mankind, Ivan's emotional value soared: "It's Mr. Schlieffen! He fainted!"

To be precise, he was lying on the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth.His nerve connection plug is still connected to a socket on the console, and he should have installed a self-made adapter on the socket, and the handmade rough edges can be seen from a distance.

"His condition is very bad! Need to help him pull out the nerve connection plug!"

"Wait, don't worry," Alvin stopped it, "Alphas are very strong." He controlled the wheelchair to get closer, "Don't you think so, Mr. Schlieffen?"

Schlieffen rolled his eyelids and gave him a look. He wanted to express anger, but his body would not allow it.

"He passed out."

Alvin bumped into him with his wheelchair: "Help him unplug the connection bolt."

After the connection was released, Schlieffen finally stopped twitching, looking very embarrassed, and the floor was a mess.

The passage of time began to slow down, and Erwin looked at him as if he were looking at a corpse.

"...Don't..." Schlieffen's face was pale, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his eyes couldn't focus, "Don't...leave me...a...person..."

A tear mixed with cold sweat slid down from the corner of his eye.

"..." Alvin turned the wheelchair around.

"Mr. Herman, what's the matter with you?"

"It's normal. The small amount of electricity at the nerve embolus interface can also cause great discomfort to the human body, just like being electrocuted by high-voltage electricity. He must have hallucinations. People will have hallucinations when their lives are threatened, and Alpha is the same. "Although he turned the wheelchair, Schlieffen's helpless look appeared in front of his eyes, "It's his own fault, if he didn't connect the signal interface himself, he wouldn't be hurt! I warned Him! It's his own fault!"

Ivan won't argue with him, it's just waiting for Ivan to issue a valid order.

"It's nothing...you can go..." Alvin lowered his head, "you can go!"

The robot started the crawler and left, the room, the empty and unobstructed room was left with only the two of them.

It suddenly occurred to Erwin why he kept asking Schlieffen that question.

"Why don't you kill me."

In fact, this question is to ask yourself, right?

"Why... I didn't kill him?"

Because, I don't want... to be alone...

He thought of Planck, and the dispute. What made him suffer was not the dispute, but the incomprehension. He didn't expect that after working together for so many years, in the end, he was actually alone.

With this in mind, he turned back to his wheelchair and looked at Schlieffen—he looked as if he had fallen asleep.

He knew that he would not give up on survival, and no one would give up on survival casually. He also knew that he would not trust him completely, and a policeman would not completely trust criminals. It was true, but he was still catering to what he said and obeying what he did, as if...the two of them were not enemies, but friends.

This...isn't possible?

Schlieffen completely fainted. He once fainted in a high-temperature combat exercise in the police academy. He knew that fainting would make people think wildly, and these wild thoughts were not true.Before he connected to the signal excuse of the console, he wondered for a moment—if this Alvin was so innocent, why did he become a first-degree criminal?If he's really just a naive scientist, how did he get out of federal prison?

But he still connected.

When the signal was connected, the chaotic electrical signal immediately pierced his nerves. In the dizzy world, he seemed to see the hatchery where he was born, the junior high school he attended, and the dormitory of his police academy. In the process of relocating to another planet before the planet, he saw the high-temperature combat exercise area of ​​the police academy. He was unwell and fainted that day. He fell to the ground and watched his companions rush away—very normal, this is a competitive exercise ——But he still wants to say: Don't leave me, don't leave me alone...

He once asked a person, who he didn't remember: Is it possible for me to have a friend in my life?

"It's unlikely. Alphas have short lives, and you won't spend too long with each of your colleagues."

"What about the betas?"

"They don't waste their time getting to know someone who is dying."

"What if I live to be discharged and re-employed?"

"The probability of this is less than 2‰."

He felt a tear fall and he woke up.

The light blue lighting was a bit dazzling, he remembered, this is not the high temperature combat exercise area of ​​the police academy, this is the SWEEPS-98167[7] astronomical monitoring station, and with him is a wanted criminal of the federal government, Ai Erwin Herman.

He lay there for about four hours, hurting from the cold floor.

Alvin's wheelchair appeared in his sight.

"It's time for a bandage on my leg."

Schlieffen got up from the ground, he looked at Alvin's face, Alvin's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

"I pity you..."

Alvin's expression froze for a moment.

"...It turns out that you also pity me..."

Schlieffen stood up and staggered towards the outside. He left the bandages to dry outside, and the wind blew the bandages to the combat uniform jacket he was hanging beside him, mixing the bandages and the jacket.

The oxygen content of SWEEPS-98167[7] is relatively high, and the meteor will be brighter when it streaks across the night sky.

He looked up into the sky, forgetting about the dropship, his mecha, and Oswald.

He remembered that it was Owen who answered him that day, his biochip—Owen.

The ancient earth defined the night, and the planet without the light of the star has always been the night, and when the Titan autobiography turned its side away from its star, its night came.

Its night is no different from that of the ancient earth. The simulated atmosphere at high altitude is closed after playing the sunset picture, and the star belt resembling the Milky Way appears in the sky.

Annie came back from the building of the College Union. The apartment she lived in was far away from the building. She liked the city center with a concentrated layout, and she liked the lively living environment.

She bought some cooked food when she passed the convenience machine. Today's recommended dish is hazelnut chocolate pine cone, which aroused her appetite.

The men and women of the busy night life came and went in the street, and she made her way through the rowdy crowd to her apartment.

"Hello, Ms. Schubert." The service robot smiled ambiguously when greeting her.

Annie didn't think much about it. Her mind was full of chocolate hazelnut pine cones at the moment. She also smiled at it, then chose her room number, and opened the door of her house.

"Who!?" Annie exclaimed.

Galen was mopping the floor. He put down his tools and turned off the music: "Welcome back."

"...how did you get in here?"

Galen took the food bag from her hand and welcomed her in: "Secretary Wald gave me authorization."

traitor!Annie said secretly in her heart.

"I picked new flowers, whiskey, and a little music. Now I'm doing cleaning. You seem to have forgotten to enable the multi-angle cleaning function for the robot. There are some stubborn stains in some places."

Galen was wearing her little floral apron to claim credit. Annie looked at the little floral apron that had been squeezed tightly by his strong 1.9-meter-high body, sighed heavily, and went around.

"what do you want to eat?"

"Where's the stuff in my freezer?" Annie yelled angrily.

"Honey, you can't eat sweets all the time, those are not food, they are rubbish." Galin said while looking at the grocery bag he just took over, "... oh..." Then he took the whole bag without hesitation. The food bags were all thrown into the garbage.

"..." Annie covered her face.

"what!!!!!"

Anne lunged and tried to push him out, but Galen held his head (actually his face) in one hand.

"Don't stop, calm down." Galen turned on the monitor with the other hand, "Look, I downloaded the recipe, and this is a fresh dinner I made for you."

Annie didn't give up, she resisted vigorously, "Egg and vegetable salad? Get out! Get out of here! The devil wants to eat egg and vegetable salad!"

"It's delicious. In order to pursue the taste, I specially added 3ml of defatted vegetable oil."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Come on honey, you look like an angry king crab."

Four minutes later, Annie was exhausted and was crushed on the sofa.

"I'm going to die, you are very heavy, okay..."

"Nonsense, I pressed it lightly."

"Let me go! Get up!"

"Are you going to eat?"

"I eat... I eat!"

Galen finally let her go, Annie got up in a panic, pushed her hair, and sat down at the dining table.

"Your." Galen served a plate of salad with a piece of graham cracker next to it.

"..." Annie took a bite, her mouth full of despair.

"whisky?"

"I drink orange juice."

This time Galen obeyed her, he took an orange and squeezed the juice for her, "Don't drink the juice mixed with dry freeze agent, there is too little fiber, here you are."

"It's very late, for a while, you..."

"I live here." Galen chewed his egg and vegetable salad, "My luggage is next door, and I'll stay in your guest room."

"?"

Galen pressed the switch, and the door of the guest room opened, and his luggage was neatly piled inside.

"I need to talk to President Planck about this!" Annie threw away the fork and opened the communication interface.

"Is your report finished?"

"?"

"The report to the president that the president asked you to write is finished?" Galin took a sip of whiskey--Anne's thermostat is really good, the temperature is accurate to two decimal places, next time he will freeze some good champagne drink.

"..." Annie put down the communication screen, raised her hand and scratched her head, "You? How long will you be staying?"

"Three months, it will be longer if the problem of the big black hole is not resolved, of course," he smiled, "If you are willing to marry me, I can live here forever."

"what."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

The next day, Anne opened her office with dark circles under her eyes, and Secretary Wald came over: "How is it?"

"I've finished the report to the president." Annie pushed him away.

"He's an interesting man, isn't he?"

Annie took off her coat and threw it on the chair, "Help me make an appointment with the chairman, I want to see him."

"He was on a business trip."

"what?"

"He's gone to Delft."

Delft is the planet where the Law School is located, about [-] million kilometers away from Titan.

"He also said that if the president asks you to meet, you can go to see the president alone, and you don't have to wait for him to come back."

"..." Annie's face twitched.

If the ancient earth defined the night, then the stars defined the day, and the day on each planet is not exactly the same. The sky in Delft is very high, which is related to its slow rotation speed. From a high altitude, The planet is full of rocks, and the brown plants between the rocks are not conspicuous at all.Looking from far to near is boring, and looking from near to far is also boring.

The law school is built here, the dean is an alpha, he is a justice, and he is "smelly".Injecting pacifiers is actually not popular in Delft, because there are not many alphas here.Many veterans will choose law school for high income, but most of them will choose to drop out because they can't stand the boring learning content.

Caroline has studied here for four years. When she was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, she ran away and went to a central comprehensive university to continue her studies. This is a wise and smart choice, because alpha can't survive here for 8 years. .

This is the world of beta.

Mr. Grotius, the dean, was always too busy to postpone the time of gene repair, so he looked at least 60 years old in appearance, and he looked like his elders when he shook hands with Planck.

"I heard you came in a hurry."

"Although time is short, I brought you good wine from Titan Star."

"I don't drink anymore. My wife hates me drinking."

Mr. Grotius's wife is a beta, which is rare. Most alphas either wait for the Omega Promotion Association to assign an omega to meet them, or they will never marry for life. Betas are not attractive to them, regardless of gender .

Plank wasn't planning on getting married, so he skipped the subject with a polite response.

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"Maintain the promotion association for omega."

"And you wish to amend the Constitution?"

"Yes, I hope you accept my opinion."
