Most Wanted [Interstellar]

The conversation that day ended suddenly, and Alvin was actually a little surprised. Later, he realized that it was a secret arrest, because it seemed that no decent judicial personnel came to contact him.After three long days of waiting, Planck's assistant told him he had a visitor, but instead of Planck, a stranger arrived.

"Hello, Professor."

This person is an alpha with an ordinary appearance. He didn't shake hands with Alvin: "After the president said, I will contact you."

"you are……"

"Lotte Holwig, when you were in charge of the Owen chip project, I went to the headquarters of the College Federation. I was also a student of the president, but you probably never noticed me."

"Oh..." Erwin nodded as politely as possible. He really didn't remember such a person, "But...you are from the Federation. Is it appropriate for you to ask for a statement?"

"I'm not here to ask for a statement, I'm just here to talk to you, Professor." Lott took off his glasses and wiped it, "I'm here to communicate with you before you are handed over to the judiciary, that's all. "

"Do you think I will be handed over to the judiciary?" Alvin smiled unabashedly.

"Why not? The federation is not qualified to sentence you." Lott put back his cleaned glasses, "You don't need to test me. To be honest, although you don't know me, I know you very well. Others think You're a lab-loving, otherworldly scientist, I don't think so."

"..."

"You can be said to be a very cunning person. Probably only those who have worked on the project at the same time as you will know how you use the project? I remember... When Owen chip entity mass production experiment, you basically occupied the entire subject talent pool, and then turn against them when you're done using them."

"It seems that what you understand is not very clear. We just went to court, not to mention I lost the lawsuit in the end."

"What's the point of losing this kind of patent naming lawsuit? You won't lose money. In the end, you and the president boarded the podium for the highest award in academia. After that, everyone who has filed a lawsuit with you Disappeared." The use of the word 'disappeared' was a bit unpleasant, and Alvin frowned: "Why did you tell me this?"

"I said, I'm not here to interrogate you. I'm just here to communicate with you. I don't have any purpose. I just want to get to know you better." Lot wrote and drew in his notebook as he spoke. .

"It seems that Plank told you a lot about me." Alvin was not angry, and he said with a meaningful sigh.

"When you were at your peak, I was watching. Although I was at the foot of the mountain, I could see clearly. Professor, I don't think anyone needs to tell me about some things."

"Then I have nothing to explain, and I can't make everyone like me." Alvin shrugged, "If your task is to come to me for meaningless conversations, then feel free, I don't think I It will bore you."

"Of course, I believe not."

When Erwin said this, Planck appeared at the door. He pressed the button of the door of the room, and the frosted glass turned into transparent glass.

Erwin looked up at him, and he found that Planck had changed from the flustered few days ago, and his expression was extremely cold. He also noticed that Erwin was looking at him, so he smiled mockingly: "Professor is actually a A person who is very good at talking, at least I have not felt bored in the years I have been with him."

"..."

"Lotter, come out, this is the end of today's conversation, you see, his pupils constricted," Plank continued, "This proves that he is thinking, thinking about how to deal with us, from our conversation Find loopholes in the game and break us down. That's what he did to me back then, so I let it go... But not this time, the old tricks won't work anymore. Come out, he's going to be mad. "

Alvin sneered.

Lot put away his pen and paper and stood up: "Then see you tomorrow, Professor."

Erwin had been wearing a syringe pump of the inhibitor all the time, but when the glass door opened, Plank still unconsciously held his breath.

After the door was closed again, he asked, "How are you, what did you talk about?"

"Let's start talking about the patent lawsuit that year."

"Oh, this is such a good topic," Plank regained his composure, and patted Lott on the shoulder, "Come and listen to his explanations to you tomorrow, his explanations are always logical and impeccable, in addition His gentle black eyes will always be watching you, so that you will never doubt what he said."

The glass door was not soundproof, and Alvin could hear the two of them laughing in the corridor clearly.

"You see, he is really angry. He looks terrible when he is angry. When the gentleness he pretended disappears, he seems to have become another person."

"It doesn't work for me, President. I'm an alpha, and I'm a soldier. I'm not interested in this kind of performance." Lott glanced back at Alvin.

"Ervin," Plank suddenly changed his amiable attitude, "you don't have to worry, I will hand you over to justice in seven days, no matter how you beg me this time, I will not change my decision, Enjoy these seven days, this may be your last peaceful time, goodbye."

They laughed again, then left the cell and walked away.

After turning the corner, Lott asked, "Are we really going to refer him to justice?"

"Of course not, but we need to control his thoughts and destroy his consciousness for seven days. When he really believes that we will send him to court, he will give in. When he begs like us, we can Maximize the interests of the Federation. Lott, you are a steadfast soldier, and I believe that my vision of people will never be wrong."

"Thank you for your appreciation, President, I will not let you down." Lott suddenly stood at attention, staring at him like a military salute.

"But I also want to remind you that his heart is much more cunning than his honest and gentle appearance, so don't relax your vigilance against him."

"Yes! President."

Planck suddenly remembered something: "Is there something wrong with the constant temperature pouring body of Owen-Misterioso yesterday?"

"...It's been resolved." Lotte smiled awkwardly.

"Don't make any problems, let's go." Plank didn't continue to ask, he felt that his pills were failing, "I have a meeting next time, and these things will be left to you."

The farce of arresting Erwin finally came to an end, and the security system that had been tense for half a year finally lowered the security level. This is good news for Schlieffen. He can set up a straight route to Crokid, because This planet is really far away from his current location.

This is an inconspicuous planet, because it is too far from the star, its rocky surface is covered with thick snow and ice, and only one iron mining factory on the verge of bankruptcy is still operating on the entire planet.Because it is so remote, there is no port, and the spacecraft has to venture through its thick atmosphere to land.

Fortunately, there is only one astronomical monitoring station here. After Schlieffen docked the spacecraft on the wilderness, he found that it was just a dilapidated small house.He didn't have enough constant temperature clothes, so he hoped that he could meet Annie first, but unfortunately, he searched around the house for a long time but couldn't find anyone, so he had to pry open the door and get in to avoid running back and forth. Just freeze to death on the road.

The layout in the room is very simple, even much cruder than the monitoring station that Erwin stayed in back then. The heating in the room can barely maintain the temperature at more than ten degrees. Fortunately, there is a stove to warm people up a little.Schlieffen was a little apprehensive, he was afraid that his reckless behavior would offend the other party, but he soon found out that his decision was right, because he had waited here for more than ten hours but he didn't get anyone.

she is not here?

Schlieffen looked at the picture frames on the table—this was Annie.Schubert's photo.

But...what about people?

There is also night on this planet. When the night comes, only the iron mines in the distance are still glowing red. Schlieffen waited too long, and after adding some fuel to the stove, he fell asleep on the table.

So, when someone opened the door, he didn't notice it.

"Who?!" A woman's voice screamed.

Schlieffen was taken aback, and he quickly jumped up from the chair: "It's me, Ms. Anne, don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm, please turn on the light."

"..."

The light was turned on, and he saw Annie standing at the door holding a shovel. She looked so desolate that if she didn't look at her face, she wouldn't be able to recognize her as the scientist from before.

"Are you...?" Beta's eyesight was mediocre, and Anne couldn't see Schlieffen's face clearly, she just thought the voice was familiar.

"Gus Schlieffen, you saved me before, do you remember? I should have waited for you outside, but it was too cold outside, sorry."

"..." Annie came a little closer, "...Sorry, the lights here are too dark...You...have escaped from prison...Who are you? Why did you come to me?" Annie's expression became tense again stand up.

Only then did Schlieffen remember that Annie was also one of the 'deceived' at that time.

"Uh..." Schlieffen thought of a brief beginning, "I did meet Alvin. Herman, I'm sorry, I lied to you last time."

Annie's eyes widened in surprise, but she seemed to have figured something out later, and put down the shovel: "That's right...you sit down, and I'll pour you a cup of hot tea."

The tea had a stale smell, but it was still warm. Annie opened the chair and sat opposite him: "Where did you meet Erwin?"

"SWEEPS-98167[7] Astronomical Monitoring Station." Schlieffen briefly talked about their encounter experience, "What about you? Why are you here?"

Annie smiled helplessly: "Because I have no value anymore."

"..."

"I'm very lucky to be alive. Looking back now, it's not easy to survive..."

"Did you know Alvin was arrested?" Schlieffen said.

"..." Annie was a little surprised, "He was arrested?"

"Yes, that's why I came to you, because I wanted to tell you that he was caught by the police on purpose. I thought... I just thought I still had time to talk him out of that. I couldn't listen I understand the plan, but he deliberately distracted me, and when I went back, I found that the police had already arrived."

"Big life plan?"

"Yes, I remember the name. I don't know what to do with me, I'm...actually an outsider to the whole thing, so I feel like I have to come to you, and I want to know if there's any other way to stop him."

Annie shook her head: "Things are indeed much more complicated than you imagined."

"It was true that Planck framed him back then?" Schlieffen told Annie about his and Charles' reasoning.

"Yes, but it's not that simple," Anne looked around the dark room, "the grievances between the three of us have been going on for a long time," she sighed again, "it's a long story, Erwin is Prang Planck's chosen students, the relationship between the two of them is much closer than that between me and them. What used to be an academic institution, it was Planck who turned it into a powerful enough to influence the government. In fact, a lot of the organization behind this is the hard work of Alvin."

"But the Alvin I know is just a researcher doing research."

"But he is a researcher who has sacrificed a lot," Annie smiled. "Science is ethical, and we can't do research on human bodies, so the earliest research progress was all made with his body. This is a very painful process. A strong will... He did this sacrifice not for himself, but for Planck, after all, he has done so much, just to realize Planck's ideal, right?"

"he……?"

"We all admired Planck," Anne said, "so... when we were betrayed... no, it was only when we were abandoned that we felt sad. Of course, I have no right to say anything about others. It was I who told Planck the secret, and when Erwin found out, he would be both happy and sad, right?"

Annie told the whole story: "Aren't the three of us all bad? One of us is willing to frame him in order to get rid of him, and the other is using my guilt to save himself, and I am an informer. ...How did the three of us become like this? Well now, Alvin is really going to implement the big life plan, he always does what happens, I don’t think anyone can stop him.”

His fundamental plan was to invade Owen-Misterioso, right?That's why he was deliberately taken back to the capital. What is a big black hole?Once Owen-Misterioso is invaded, the chips in everyone's bodies will be affected... At that time, the whole world will be a walking dead controlled by him.

"I can stop him!" Schlieffen said.

"Why?" Annie gave him a cold look.

"Based on what I know about him! The vice president...how should I put it...I think the key to all this is—Irwin was wronged! No one has paid attention to this issue! But I think it is very important! Still His justice and innocence will bring him back to society!"

"..." Annie was silent for a moment, "but I don't think he cares at all... How well do you know him? Do you know him better than me? He's actually a cold-blooded person, he won't be moved by personal affairs at all, he treats us There is no love, and naturally there is no hate...Sometimes I can understand Planck's behavior a little bit. Alvin is indeed a scary person. He will insist on doing what he thinks is right, as if the only way to kill him is to kill him. to stop him."

"But what about you? Are you such a cold-blooded person?" Schlieffen was a little excited, "You saved me, who had never met, just out of sympathy. You have such abundant emotions, why did Planck treat you like this?" He pointed to the dilapidated room he was in, "Is it because you are also an unconvincing person? Is it because you are also a lunatic? It is because you caught him! He is afraid of your exposure! He wants To protect himself! Doesn't the thought make one angry?"

"I... didn't even think about exposing him," Annie suddenly covered her eyes, and she felt tears pouring out uncontrollably, "I just kept thinking, why did I make our relationship so bad What can I do to make them reconcile... Schlieffen, you have no idea, we are close partners for decades, we, we used to be so good... Alvin and I... used to be so good... "

annie.Schubert, she is a beta, but she happens to be the most arrogant of the three.When Planck chose Irwin, he was just an unknown researcher.But when Alvin chose Annie, Annie was already a shining star in the academic world. 'You're probably a real genius, aren't you? When we met for the first time, Alvin, who was the project leader, smiled and said to her, "Come to my team, my project team has a lot of money." '

I'm afraid I'm not a fool...

'Annie, I've already opened up your subject for you, so go ahead and do it boldly. '

I would have been confident and bold to do well... Long-winded...

"Failure is nothing, I will explain to Planck, he will not be angry, he used to be my teacher..."

I... myself will... hey... you... really...

'This time your project is AAA+, you don't have to worry about the level, just choose whoever you want from me. '

Your own professor emeritus hasn't been decided yet...

'Congratulations, winner of the highest science award, and congratulations, nominated vice president of the Academy Federation. '

I……

I……

"Annie," Schlieffen held the hand that wiped her tears, "in Alvin's heart, you are not an informer..."

"What? What did you say?" Annie's face was full of tears, and she looked at Shilieffen's face, who was actually a stranger to her.

"When he told me about you, his face was full of smiles. He told me that you are a good girl who lacks scheming but is patient. Annie, he doesn't hate you, he loves you."

he loves you.

Annie cried for a long time that day, and felt that she would cry all the tears in her life.The night wind of Clokid blew the windows and made people feel vicissitudes and sadness.

"Do you want me to go back to Titan with you? I think you should tell him directly what's on your mind."

After Annie regained her composure, Schlieffen suggested.

"I have no way to go back," Annie smiled wryly, "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you, but I'm actually a coward... I can't face Alvin anymore, all I can say is, if you see him, help me deal with it." He said sorry. But maybe you're right..." Anne returned to the bedroom and pulled out a suitcase. "Planck shouldn't have apologized to him...I guess if they had met, they would probably be talking to each other by now. Torment it, here is a storage piece, I started to suspect that Planck copied it from Erwin's seized materials through the means of a friend after I started to suspect, I think... If it is used skillfully, it may be possible to reproduce the memory at that time the truth."

Schlieffen took the memory chip: "What is this?"

"The experimental group of the Big Life Project is a large group. Someone should know the truth back then, but that person probably knew that he didn't have the strength to expose it, so he left this thing mixed in Erwin's items. Actually, I'm not sure Does Alvin care about such a truth...But Plank does owe him an apology...Do it in the way you think is right, Lieutenant Schlieffen...You are really a..." Annie thought for a while, "What a A man of strength."

Have power?Schlieffen smiled wryly as he recalled his experience of being dumped twice.

"Also," Annie suddenly stood up and gave him a hug, "I wish you well, I hope Alvin will not be like me, you don't know how good it is to love someone until you lose them."

The tall alpha had to stand on tiptoes to reach his shoulders, and she couldn't help but close her eyes when she hugged him.

...I... hope you will be happy...

teacher.
