steel horn

Unwilling to continue to stay in the bloody and chaotic underground arena, Ke Xia quickly found an excuse that he was going to enter the palace, and left the so-called banquet held by his cousin.

He actually doesn't know what he is doing, he seems to be looking for the best years in his life in one after another banquet, indeed there are still flowers, fragrant clothes, bead rings and emerald rings, fragrant cars and BMWs The aristocrats lived an elegant and noble life as before, and the Zerg, war, and regime change seemed to have no effect on them.

The ladies were wearing extremely exquisite skirts, holding ivory lace fans, covering their cheeks and smiling at him, and beside the flower beds were the familiar golden irises unique to the empire. He came back here, but couldn't find a trace a feeling of.

He felt that he had lost something very important. He thought he would find it when he returned to the empire, but there was nothing, only disappointment and emptiness. He felt that he had it, but he seemed to lose it, his life became boring and meaningless, and what he received every day was boring.

When King Kexi sent him out, he said: "The pet is still bloody, I'll cure him first and then send it to your house."

Ke Xia paused for some reason, and turned to look at him, Uncle Wang. The royals are not ugly, but this one is too sensual, and probably has undergone a lot of genetic surgery to correct his appearance. The expression of the turbid spiritual power on his face, the dark and cloudy eyeballs, and the dejected look, this kind of person is not productive, but sitting on wealth.I used to think it was just as normal as they did.

If he hadn't left the empire and fled away from the royal family, would he have become like this?Looking for sensory stimulation in doing nothing, sensuality, and spending this boring life in mediocrity and indulgence.

He suddenly smiled and asked Ke Xi: "If that pet dies, will Uncle Wang order an identical one for me? After all, the one-day fee for the treatment cabin is sky-high. I'm afraid it's necessary to treat the first half of the fractured body. Month to month."

Ke Xi was flattered by his smile: "Ah...?"

Ke Xia ignored him, and reached out to order Huajian Wine behind him: "Go and watch, let them bandage the clone and send it back to the Prince's Mansion immediately, and open my exclusive treatment cabin to treat him."

Ke Xi rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Why is this? I can still afford the cost of the treatment cabin, but the injury is hard to say. If the rib pierces the lung or something, it may not be able to be saved... "It seems that there is an idea of ​​making another one in case of death.

Ke Xia ignored him and walked straight forward, Hua Jianjiu immediately stood at attention to accept orders, then turned his head and asked Ke Xi politely: "Your Majesty, where is that man?"

Ke Xi said: "Just now I have ordered them to bandage him first, and use a therapeutic device to stop the bleeding urgently! What is the name of this lord? Please come in and have some tea first, it will be healed soon."

Hua Jianjiu did not go to the room they had prepared, but went to the emergency room in the background, watching them fix the bones of the black-haired boy, treat some serious injuries with a therapeutic device, and apply a large amount of Treatment gel.

At the same time as the treatment, some people were removing the decorative utensils worn by this "pet" to facilitate the treatment.Hua Jianjiu watched with his own eyes that they accidentally pulled out the gold bell with bloodshot eyes on the gold thread, which fell on a certain part of the pierced hole as an embellishment. His eyelids twitched, and he felt his leg It’s chilly in the middle, thinking that this “pet” is fighting monsters while wearing these things, and I don’t know how many monsters he has fought before he has survived until now. Although he has no consciousness, his appearance is exactly the same as that of humans. Seeing him suffering, he still had the same black hair and black eyes as himself, and his mood was very complicated, with some pity and disgust at the same time.

Ever since he accompanied the marshal to the empire, the past few days have really been an eye-opener. He has seen all kinds of strange things that break through the lower limit of human beings. He screams in his heart every day, Marshal, let's go back to the alliance!There are no people here at all!The people of the alliance welcome you back!They don't mind at all that the marshal is an exiled royal family. The alliance has everyone, and freedom, equality and democracy are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the empire thought that the marshal was pushed out, in fact, Frostcrow cried and refused to do the drudgery of the marshal of the alliance. But the marshal is determined and insists on returning to the empire!

Seeing that they had removed all the gold ornaments, but left alone the obsidian collar around his neck, he couldn't help but wondered, "Why don't you remove that collar? Will it affect your breathing?"

A medical staff said cautiously: "This is equipped with the replicant when it leaves the factory. Part of it is implanted under the skin. It has functions such as monitoring body functions, positioning, tightening control, and electric shock punishment. It prevents the replicator from getting lost and is convenient for the owner to control. The behavior of the cloner, of course, can also find all the physical information and production information of the cloner, which can be regarded as a kind of anti-counterfeiting mark. If you want to remove it, you need professional surgery, but generally speaking, no one removes this thing. Duplicants have always had a short lifespan, but it doesn't affect their actions. Besides, they are unconscious and easy to get lost. Keeping this will be convenient for His Royal Highness to adjust/teach and control in the future... In short, it is not suitable for him now that he is seriously injured. remove."

Hua Jianjiu's face darkened, and he walked out of a family that had been under various strict controls. He was even more disgusted with this kind of excessive control, obedience, and regulation, although this was just a clone, without human rights.Maybe it was his silent and serious expression that frightened the staff. They quickly packed the black-haired boy and put him in the first aid treatment cabin. Back to the White Rose Mansion.

Hua Jianjiu arranged for the guards to put the black-haired boy into the treatment cabin, and called the royal doctor to watch over him to readjust the bone setting, and then activated the treatment cabin.Because this treatment cabin is for Ke Xia's exclusive use, the entire treatment room is next to Ke Xia's bedroom. For a while, several guards surrounded him very curiously.

A lively guard, Yuri, came over curiously and asked him, "Jiu Da, who is this? He actually used the treatment cabin dedicated to the marshal?" Crow's subordinates admired Ke Xia very much. When Ke Xia resigned, he told Frost Crow that he also resigned and followed the marshal to the empire. Those people who followed from the alliance still called Marshal Ke Xia all the time. They haven't changed their minds yet, or even deliberately don't change their minds. They are willing to follow the marshal, but they are not used to the empire. Everyone hopes that the marshal will go back sometime.

Hua Jianjiu took a look at him: "It's His Royal Highness, the replica of the gladiator in the county palace. He was sent to His Highness. You should change your words as soon as possible. It's not good for others to hear."

Yuri was taken aback: "Replicators! Ah, last time I accompanied the marshal to the banquet at Prince Ke Hua's mansion, I saw them too, but aren't they all beautifully made unconscious pets? How could the marshal be interested?"

He lowered his head to look at the treatment cabin: "He looks okay, but he has black hair and black eyes, just like you and Sister Qin."

Hua Jianjiu twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking in his heart that he might just have his eye on this, because he has the same black hair and black eyes as Du Yin.Just as he was talking, Ke Xia came back from the palace, strode into the inner courtyard, and saw them asking, "What are you doing here?"

Hua Jianjiu said: "The clone that was brought back has just been placed. The doctor has come to see it and said that at least half a month will be rested in the treatment cabin for treatment."

Ke Xia took off his military uniform jacket, Yuri hurried up to take it off for him, Ke Xia waved his hand to stop him, took it off by himself and hung it on the coat hook and asked casually, "Aren't you dead?"

Hua Jianjiu said with a smile: "You asked for it. Naturally, all the good medicines were given to him at the county prince's mansion. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his vitals, but a lot of bones in his body were broken. Just wait until he is cured. How are you going to arrange him?"

Ke Xia was also stopped by the question now: "...whatever, the Prince's Mansion is so big, you can still afford to support someone. Doesn't it mean that their life span is very short? Let's raise it."

Hua Jianjiu smiled. He had been with Ke Xia for many years, and he spoke more boldly: "You didn't think about it, why did you ask him? Are you afraid that someone else wants to bury a nail in your place? You see His fighting skills really don't look like clones, have they been trained? Maybe it's your intolerance that's the bet."

Ke Xia said: "At the moment when I was about to kill the snake, I felt the spiritual power. Although it was very weak, it was indeed the spiritual power that exploded between life and death."

Hua Jianjiu was surprised: "Spiritual power? Impossible, how can a clone have spiritual power." But Ke Xia's spiritual power is very high, and people with high spiritual power are often very keen, able to detect the other party's spiritual power, Are they really too weak?

Ke Xia turned his head and walked over to look at the boy in black clothes and black hair in the treatment cabin. His face was very strange, but he did feel familiar at that moment. He pondered for a while and turned his head and suddenly saw Yuri poking his head curiously. , suddenly nodded and he asked: "I remembered, Yuri, do you still remember your Tiange fighting teacher? The one named Jun, I haven't seen him for a long time, I feel that when I saw his fighting skills today When it comes to his style, and his spiritual power...Although it was only for a short moment, I don’t know why I thought of him. Speaking of which, Jun really hasn’t appeared on Skynet for a long, long time.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused subtly, and suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in the empire, his robot seemed to have taught him physical skills for a while... It was too long ago, and he couldn't remember clearly. Shaking his head, he didn't continue to entangle, but his eyes fell on the black hair in the treatment cabin, and the weirdness suddenly surfaced again, why are they all black hair and black eyes?

His robot, Jun from Skynet, Feng Huajian... and the one in front of him that caught his attention. I have to say that just as this boy stepped forward, he couldn't help but pay attention to the rare black hair and black eyes in the empire. Speaking of which, it's not surprising that the robot has black hair and black eyes based on Hua Jianfeng's version, but black hair and black eyes are obviously not the mainstream aesthetics these years, why are they?

The sense of weirdness resurfaced again, but Yuri spoke, with a slightly upset expression, as if he had been insulted: "Teacher Jun said goodbye to us, saying that it was something in real life, and he will not come up much in the future. He is calm and tolerant. It feels like it should be an older elder, it won't be like this..." Such an Israeli waiter's pet.

He had seen that at the royal banquet, people did not hesitate to take this kind of soulless and instinctive clone for fun. They had a delicate and beautiful appearance, but they didn't know anything and would just obey in a daze.

Ke Xia nodded: "That's the feeling at that moment. Coincidentally, Jun's Skynet image is also black-haired and black-eyed, and Viscount Feilan's idiot/beep also came to snatch it, so I don't really want to give it to him. .” He turned his head to look at Huajianjiu, and nodded him: “Your patriarch caused a romantic debt.”

Hua Jianjiu chuckled: "Your Highness, please be careful. Duplicants can't have spiritual power. I'm afraid it's a means to place people around you, pretending to be an unconscious duplicator, so that you can lower your guard. This is a common method. .”

Ke Xia smiled: "Whatever, I'm afraid they won't move. I don't believe that Ke Hua used so many means to force me to return to the empire, and really let me enjoy the glory and wealth. I wait for them to come, wait Let him recover, let's see what tricks he can do." He smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his blue eyes were cold, and there was no smile at all.

Hua Jianjiu nodded: "What did His Majesty call you into the palace just now?"

Ke Xia mocked: "It's nothing more than enjoying flowers, birds, and paintings. What novelty can there be? It's amazing that such a corrupt royal family is ruling the entire empire, and the empire hasn't collapsed yet."

Hua Jianjiu spread his hands: "Who let them monopolize Jinxi Energy? Besides, there are still many capable people, and Ke Hua seems to be very close to the people and kind. I heard that the national unified official selection examination gave the civilians an extra [-] yuan. The number of quotas, and the additional grace to allow serfs to participate in the official selection exam, the Empire Star Network is full of praise, this is the first time I have seen such a uniform star network propaganda, all those who can use the Star Network must be reviewed, and all speeches have been reviewed. Even Skynet has a key to access, hahahahaha."

Ke Xia said: "It's always been like this, it's just that you've been in the alliance for a long time, so you don't know."

He glanced at the snow-white White Rose Mansion outside the door. His robot seemed to like to give him these things, but he didn't like it, but why did Ke Hua considerately give him another mansion when he came back, but he still chose to give it to him? It seemed that he had promised someone to bring him back, but after he actually moved in, he felt manic day by day, and the nightmare of that night invaded him again, every room seemed to be There are the wronged souls of his parents and his little sister, and they cry all night.

Why on earth did he choose to torture himself like this?That kind of mental breakdown seemed to come back again, but he didn't tell anyone that he had insomnia again all night long.Beginning to wonder why he returned to the Empire, he felt he was strong enough to overcome everything, and he was still ashamed to admit his vulnerability.

He obviously felt that he could face up to the trauma, forget all the unhappiness, and start a new life. The strong feeling of happiness and self-confidence seemed to still remain, but he forgot.He touched his head. It was a weird feeling that he had forgotten a lot of things. Outside the door, Hua Jianqin was already reporting: "Your Highness, President Onegin has an encrypted communication, please answer it."

He raised his head, put that weird feeling behind him, and said calmly, "I'll be right there."

Anatoly is still so embarrassed: "How is it? How does it feel to return to the Empire? The new energy side has made a lot of new technologies, and they want to sell them to the Empire. They can only use new energy. I I want to give it to you for use first. The things used by the prince should be accepted by the nobles soon. The next step is to sell them to the empire through the AG company. You should help me promote the market. Wait for everyone to get used to this kind of use. With new energy products, we can further get rid of the monopoly of Jinxi Energy."

The corner of Ke Xia's mouth twitched: "Whatever you want, I'm still here for such a trivial matter."

Huajianfeng turned around from behind him and smiled, "I mainly care about you, how about it? The empire is not easy to stay in, right? When I went there, I was very unaccustomed to the high and low classes there. I wish I could kill all the nobles. Knowing this age, how can there be such a wonderful imperial country, and the people have not yet risen to overthrow them."

Ke Xia sneered: "Aren't there few high-ranking officials in the alliance who communicated secretly with the empire? For example, two? Huh? You are talking to His Royal Highness, the pure-blooded prince of the empire, tsk tsk. Speaking of which, I also met Fei Fei today." Lan Viscount, he is still collecting little lovers with black hair and black eyes. When I first saw him, he actually wanted to hook up with Huajianqin. He really didn't know what to do. Later, Huajianjiu told me about you. Great achievements, really amazing, Shao Feng."

Hua Jianfeng looked a little embarrassed, and glanced at Anatoli next to him, but Anatoli changed the subject very naturally: "Speaking of Viscount Feilan, he is Ke Ye's loyal subordinate. , and once teased Du Yin as Feng Shao. Du Yin was the one who saved Frost Crow that time... The empire really likes to treat people as pets. Du Yin passed by and saw Ke Ye humiliating Frost Crow, so he took He came back."

Ke Xia was taken aback: "Why didn't I hear Du Yin say it? I always thought that Frost Crow was bought by Du Yin at auction."

Anatoly said blankly: "Ah? Didn't Du Yin tell you? Frost Crow has always said that Du Yin was his savior... It's been a long time, really long, and I don't know too much. Remember the specific details..."

He was suddenly in a daze: "Speaking of which, Frost Crow also suddenly asked me a few days ago, where did Du Yin go, and that he suddenly dreamed of Du Yin."

Ke Xia's face sank, and Anatoly said: "Ke Xia, you sent him to carry out a secret mission, right? Is it in the empire?"

Ke Xia didn't speak, Hua Jianfeng suddenly said something: "Didn't you realize that we haven't discussed Du Yin like this for a long time?"

Anatoly said: "Ah? Isn't it a secret mission? Why don't you keep asking."

Hua Jianfeng said: "No, I feel very strange these days. I also dream about Du Yin frequently in my dreams, but I often subconsciously avoid thinking about him in my life. He obviously spent so much time with us. Don't you think so? Don't you think it's strange? He saved Frostcrow, served as my substitute, promoted the establishment of the alliance, and did so many earth-shattering events with us. I should be very concerned about Duin, but I was very strange for no reason. Pay less attention to him and think of him."

Ke Xia turned his head to look at them, and suddenly said: "Recently, I occasionally dream about Du Yin, but when I wake up, I forget the specific details." When he woke up, he found tears on his face, but he didn't say anything, just He thought it was caused by frequent nightmares when he was in the White Rose Palace these days, which made him deeply ashamed of his weakness.

Hua Jianfeng looked at Ke Xia: "He has been with you the longest, which is normal. I find it strange that even Frost Crow rarely mentioned Du Yin. He was very grateful to Du Yin in the past... and Ah Natoli... Your Excellency the President."

Anatoly said, "Huh?"

Hua Jianfeng said: "You obviously pursued him, why do you seem to have completely forgotten him now?"

Anatoly said with a smile: "It's all about the age, so many years have passed, isn't it because you care about it? I even feel a little blurry about his face..." He suddenly stopped talking , Speaking of which, he also began to realize something was wrong.

Hua Jianfeng said seriously: "The shrewd and capable head of the Onegin family, the president of the alliance who manages every day with extraordinary energy, is your memory that bad? For a person who has worked by your side for a long time and has developed a biological The important figures of the robot, even the researchers of the AG company research institute, will mention him from time to time. You even had a deep crush on him and pursued him."

Anatoly was speechless, and said in surprise: "Really, I haven't found out if you don't tell me, I really-I really liked this person? I can't remember the details of getting along with him now, really no Is it because it's been too long?"

Hua Jianfeng turned his head and looked deeply at Ke Xia: "I suspect that we have been hypnotized, Ke Xia, I am in this kind of family, and I am very familiar with this method. We are subconsciously forgetting him and ignoring him." Only Ke Xia, who knew that Du Yin was a robot, knew his worries. Why should someone make them forget an ordinary robot?What more important things have they forgotten?Is it about robots?

Who can tamper with the president of the hypnotized alliance and the marshal of the alliance?Is this related to the fact that the Alliance Marshal's identity as an exiled royal family was exposed and he was forced to return to the empire?Is this another conspiracy?

This is really scary to think about.

Ke Xia's pupils shrank sharply: "Can someone find someone to untie it?"

Hua Jianfeng shook his head: "After finding something wrong, I have tried it with the hypnotist elders in the clan, including the hypnotist of the Onegin family from Anatoly's side, but I can't solve it, even they I can’t tell that I’ve been hypnotized at all, and I can’t even think of what I’ve forgotten. I’m still trying to find people who have been in contact with Duin recently, trying to find common ground and find out who has been hypnotized.”

"At present, it seems that there are only a few of us who have a deep contact with Du Yin, including - Nightingale, she has forgotten many details, but on the contrary, her brother Bruce still remembers many of you two in the dark street. I don’t remember what happened, but Nightingale has already forgotten, and even the matter of how I went to Lorraine with Duin and you is very vague, which is actually quite abnormal.”

Anatoly was surprised and said, "So you said a few days ago that you were going to undergo psychotherapy, and you asked Ollie to hypnotize me as well?"

Hua Jianfeng said: "Yes, Oli is already a master of mental hypnosis, and he also hypnotized you. But even he can't see that you have been hypnotized. Our memory has been tampered with, but we can't see it at all. If it’s not true that we forgot the details of getting along with such an important person by such a coincidence, then the person who performed the hypnotism is too clever. I don’t know if this is related to your identity being revealed suddenly, and then you are taken back to the empire It doesn't matter, but you must be careful, that's why I asked Anatoly to contact you today, please be careful."

"A master who can do this kind of hypnosis can almost hypnotize ordinary people to do anything. You must know that your mental power is already beyond the reach of ordinary people. You can manipulate your memory without you realizing it at all. , this person is too scary."

"You must pay attention to the people around you, even those you trust. I'm really worried. It's better to return to the alliance. I'm afraid that your sudden desire to return to the empire is also the result of a hint from your consciousness. Someone wants you to go back, for an unknown purpose, but it should be malicious."

Ke Xia raised his eyes, his coldness could almost cut the person on the other side of the communicator: "I'm not afraid, let them come."
