By the quiet lake, white waterfowl flitted across the water. Estin, who was fishing quietly, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Luo Dan who was dazed by the shore: "Ke Xia is on the sky net, his spiritual power belongs to me." The hint has been loosened, I'm afraid he will recall everything soon. It really is a person with high spiritual power, and his subconscious is stronger than that of Hua Jianfeng."

Luo Dan raised his head suddenly: "Ah! What should we do then? Can you give Ke Xia another hint?"

Estin shook his head: "He has realized that after he has been hinted, it is of little use to hint, unless he is forced to hypnotize and forget everything, but this may cause mental breakdown, which is not what Jun wants to see, besides Now that Jun's situation is not good, I think it's better to let nature take its course."

Luo Dan pursed his lips, his eyes were full of worry: "Why hasn't Jun connected to Skynet yet?"

Estin said: "It is not easy to connect to the Skynet of the Empire. Only after approval and possession of the secret key can he be connected to Skynet. He is a clone, and even connected to the wanted system of the Empire. How can he connect to Skynet with this condition? To put it bluntly, once he connects to Skynet, he is likely to be immediately located by the Empire’s Skynet General Administration based on the arrest warrant and quickly arrested. As long as he is not connected to Skynet, we are like people from two worlds, difficult to contact .”

"So Ke Xia can think of it at this time. It's a good thing for his safety. It's better than our original plan. It's much more convenient to have him take care of us. After all, it's too difficult to leave and enter the country with your body. Now The Imperial Alliance is heavily guarded, no matter how much money people have, they dare not accept smuggling business, and smuggling is not what we are good at."

"As for other emotional matters, it's up to the parties themselves to choose when the time comes."

In the fighting room of the Pinnacle Club.

Ke Xia lowered his head slightly and looked at Tu Hao, with no expression on his face: "When did you offend Ke Xia? Didn't you get on good terms with him when you were in Shannan Middle School?"

Tu Hao smiled awkwardly: "Hey...you don't know, I took some missions to study in Xueying Military Academy, and I instigated many people - I can't help it, my whole family belongs to the empire, and military orders cannot be disobeyed. He later became the marshal of the Union, and he must have hated my behavior at that time. I heard that the undercover next to the marshal was captured by himself. Although there was no direct conflict, the family analyzed that he looked very decent. Most likely I have a grudge against me. In addition, I don’t know what His Majesty Ke Hua’s plan is when I come back, and my attitude will be very difficult at that time. Is it better to get close or stay away? After all, there is still a classmate friendship, no contact at all, just go straight It's too difficult to grasp the scale of the feud. The family members made up their minds and sent me abroad."

Tu Hao stroked his hair: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things, what about you? Didn't you delete this account? How could it be restored? You and Ke Xia were also very good back then, is it related to his return to the empire?" , you're back too? If you really come back, don't betray me."

Ke Xia reached out and grabbed his collar, looked at him and said coldly: "There is no need to betray, on the surface he is a second-class mecha soldier of the Second Empire Legion, and a part-time deputy staff officer of the Military Aircraft Department, but in fact he is a member of the Imperial Security Department." The secret supervisor, Lieutenant General Tu Hao who is a first-class intelligence officer."

Tu Hao's whole face was shocked, Ke Xia sneered: "By the way, I'm your good classmate, Ke Xia whom you avoid as much as possible."

Tu Hao was stunned: "What!! Impossible! The Empire's Skynet secret key is bound to the genetic identity! You...you, how could you be Ke Xia! No, how could you be on Jun's ID..."

Ke Xia smiled: "I also want to know this. Are you stationed in Fanxing City? It only takes half a day from Fanxing City to Yueyao City by shuttle. If I don't see you before the sun sets."

He let go of the hand that grabbed Tu Hao's collar, and gently adjusted the collar for him: "You must not want to know how I will treat you."

After forcing Tu Hao to log off, Ke Xia went backhand and checked all the income and expenditure details on his account. There was nothing unusual, they were all fees for purchasing learning materials, Skynet games, Skynet skins, etc.

He has never paid attention to how much money is in his virtual account, and he can buy what he needs by explaining to the housekeeper. He was a minor at the time, and any income and expenditure in the account would be notified to the guardian, so it is impossible for the account to change without anyone know.

So, if his bot is sparring with his account, where is the money?

In the afternoon, Hua Jianjiu brought Lieutenant General Tu Hao in, and it didn't even take half a day. It seemed that he arrived at the speed of light without a moment's delay.

Faced with Ke Xia's cold questioning, Tu Hao was a complete loser, and answered everything: "Then my cousin owns shares in the club, and he was about to take the mecha department exam at that time, so he often went to practice, and later I heard that there was a partner trainer." I have never lost before, so I made an appointment out of curiosity, and it turned out to be very good, but he was unstable online, and every time he came up with a bunch of appointments, he would choose the most expensive appointment, so the price was getting higher and higher."

"Tell me everything you know."

"... I don't know much, and he never came again. I... was young at the time, and I felt a little sympathetic to him, so I checked. He transferred all the money deposited in the club's account that day, and then Character removed."

"His money is deposited in the club?"

"Yes... that club provides this kind of service, similar to casino chips, which can be deposited, exchanged or withdrawn at any time, and can be transferred within the club. This is mainly convenient. After all, there are people playing games in the empire and the alliance. different……"

"He should have a lot of money as a training partner, right?"

Tu Hao hesitated, and Ke Xia said coldly, "Or do you want to go to the Security Bureau to have a cup of tea?"

Seeing Ke Xia's menacing eyes, Tu Hao finally broke down: "No, Your Highness! I said it, and I actually checked it later. He met a man named Hai Snake at the club that day, and then transferred the money to him. The other party, later my cousin told me not to check, saying that it was from the underworld, and he often did some shady business there, and he paid him, either because he was blackmailed, or he bought something shady and not available on the market. Anyway, I don’t need to check any more.”

"At that time, all his sparring money was on it. The amount was quite a lot...but then he spent a lot of money, and then transferred the rest on the same day. Later, when I met him in the league, he built another One number, I still recognize him, and you know him too. It is Jun, who is still a sparring partner in the underground club of the league. He has never lost a single time, and he is very popular. He must have difficulties and has been avoiding people. .”

"I think he is quite familiar with you, but he probably doesn't want people to know his past, so I haven't told you about it. According to the information I checked before, all the money he received and spent on the club, including the account transferred out, I have already brought over the situation of the sea snake at that time, and it is here." Tu Hao honestly pushed a disk over.

Ke Xia lowered his head and stared at him fiercely: "Listen, you are now a senior official of the Security Bureau, a senior general, and you should have a way to get the surveillance video of the night when the White Rose Palace was destroyed. No matter what method you use, I want all of them. The surveillance camera video."

Of course, this thing should have been kept strictly sealed at that time, and theoretically it should have been destroyed. However, he had reason to believe that someone in the department below would definitely keep this thing.

Tu Hao stammered: "This...you don't want to take revenge on those soldiers who carried out the order...they just followed the order, Your Royal Highness..."

Ke Xia looked at him coldly: "Do you believe that I can fabricate a hundred letters between you and the alliance at any time? The Tu family is highly valued by Ke Ji, but now it is His Majesty Ke Hua, he will trust you ?"

Tu Hao shivered: "I... have..." He agreed very spinelessly, and Ke Xia nodded in satisfaction and told him to go out.

I first opened the disk that Tu Hao handed over, and there were indeed detailed income and expenditure accounts in it, piecemeal, and it had lasted for several years. It should have started shortly after I created an account for him when I was 15 years old, and then in One day, all transferred out.

His eyes fell on that date, and he remembered it clearly, it was two months before the night of White Rose's extermination.

He called into Huajian Wine.

"Go and check, there is the income and expenditure of fees here, you go and check the owner of the account that was transferred out, and find a way to find out the purpose of the last transfer."

Huajian Wine responded and went down neatly.

Ke Xia sat in the rose garden, took out a piece of paper, and slowly wrote down a few time points, one was the time when all the virtual coins in the account were transferred out, and the other was the time when the White Rose Mansion was destroyed.The other is the time when "Jun" appeared on Skynet. At this time, he has been vague, and even the details of meeting him have been forgotten, but what is clear is that the time when Jun was practicing in that underground club should be The time I studied in Shannan Middle School and the time I suffered from Mer's disease, so where did my amazing expenses come from?Including the money he got as a stand-in.

The issue of cost has always been the focus of his entanglement with Hua Jianfeng. The cost of Mer's disease is very staggering. It has always been a mystery where his robot got the money in the first place. He even directly rejected Marshal Bruce's donation on his behalf. , returned donations from all school students.

And the time they met was when he had already started treatment for Mer's disease and was paralyzed in bed, unable to speak or move.

The two star hours of Skynet time every day must have been a comfort to him. He refused to receive psychological treatment at the time, so Jun fought with him every day in order to alleviate his psychological problems, and then served as a teacher with him, giving The children go to class.

Ke Xia suppressed his surging mental power, forcing himself to deduce everything with logic and reason.

There is no need for emotional exaggeration, just based on everything he knows, he has roughly deduced what the robot did and why it did it, clearly.

And all of this cannot be done by a robot, and no matter how advanced artificial intelligence is, it cannot be done.

Ke Xia closed his eyes, leaned back on the armchair and fell silent.

There was a knock on the door, and Huajianjiu came back with a psychedelic expression: "I found it... This account was used by our Huajian clan... His original name was Huajianhai, but he was nicknamed Sea Snake when he was in the empire. "

Ke Xia looked up, Hua Jianjiu was a little embarrassed, but his expression was still shocked: "It was used decades ago, and fortunately it is from our own clan, otherwise there would be no trace. This sea snake is responsible for smuggling, The manager of the smuggling affairs is generally responsible for smuggling people to the alliance and charging a certain fee. This transfer is the smuggling boat ticket plus an identity card, and they provided the information of the identity card they sold at the beginning."

Ke Xia already had an answer in his heart, but Hua Jianjiu's expression was very dazed: "The identity card is owned by a 38-year-old man named Du Yin. His experience is that his parents are unknown, he was abandoned since he was a child, and he was adopted by the Imperial Orphanage. , a good citizen, has a complete compulsory school study file, engaged in manual work after graduation, has an imperial social security number, and has tax payment experience."

Hua Jianjiu looked at Ke Xia: "So... this is Captain Du Yin's ID card?"

Ke Xia said, "He bought a few tickets for stowaways."

Hua Jianjiu took out a golden incense ball from his hand: "One piece, the boat ticket for smuggling from Dongyun Port to the Alliance on December 12th. As a result, he carried a child on board during the smuggling. The crew responsible for the smuggling was at that time He refused to let him board, he took out the arrival fee, the crew greedily accepted and let people in, and the port was closed the next day, the crew was timid, and later directly confessed to our boss who was in charge of organizing the smuggling, saying that there were too many people at that time. Put a child in - the blond-haired..."

He secretly glanced at Ke Xia, the time, name, hair, everything was in line with Captain Du Yin and Prince Ke Xia at the time of the massacre... How did Prince Ke Xia escape from the empire while being hunted down? And the truth that the alliance can't find.

He even trembled slightly in his heart. Captain Du Yin has been missing for a long time. What is the prince looking for?

Ke Xia sternly closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brows: "Understood, you go down first."

Hua Jianjiu backed away, not daring to show his anger, and Ke Xia's wrist dripped, indicating that the top-secret channel had received the video package.

According to the password given by Tu Hao, he opened the layer-by-layer encrypted video file, took a deep breath for a long time, and then opened it to watch.

As a prince, White Rose Palace naturally used the highest quality monitoring equipment, so after many years, it was still very clear.

Ke Xia saw soldiers in black who broke into the door in a deep sleep, without epaulets or any logo, and calmly shot and killed one by one after entering the door. His gentle mother was pulled away from the arm protecting her belly before dying Another shot was shot in the stomach, obviously to ensure that the fetus in the stomach would not survive.

His eyes were about to split open, his teeth were biting deeply on his lips, blood came out, and the nightmare that had haunted him for many years seemed to be swept away again. He took a deep breath for a long time, closed his eyes, calmed down his mind, and transformed himself from that deep-seated to crazy. Pulled out of the hatred, forced himself to be a spectator, and pressed fast forward.

During that chaotic night, details that he hadn’t noticed emerged. For example, 007, who was supposed to accompany him to sleep in his room, entered through the window of the room instead of outside the room at the critical moment. He woke himself up, took himself away from the window, climbed down the second floor, and then saw his sister being killed on the first floor, the young and stupid he screamed, and then started a chaotic fight and fled... …

007's fighting and fleeing movements are all too skilled. From his current perspective, he is a well-trained soldier.

And the military boxing that I taught him back then, how can I download such a thing online?

How did he believe it then?

He turned off the video surveillance, searched in the folder, found the room outside his room, where 007 should have stayed at night, and pulled the time bar forward.At 10 o'clock in the evening, he finished playing a fighting game, took a shower, and went to bed. As usual, 007 cleaned up the room and stood quietly in the corner by himself, the lights dimmed.

After that, he stood there quietly. Ke Xia fast-forwarded the video, and the robot suddenly moved in the early morning. He checked the specific time. At four o'clock in the morning, the robot quietly walked out of the room. Ke Xia checked the time , I found the surveillance camera video in the corridor, and saw him quietly walking through the corridor and going downstairs without meeting anyone.

Ke Xia searched video cameras one by one, and then 007 disappeared in the video, and there was no trace of him in all the cameras until three or ten minutes later, a camera in the garden captured him suddenly climbing up from the bottom of the building along the water pipe. Go to the second floor, enter Ke Xia's bedroom...then shake Ke Xia awake, hold him and jump out of the window on the second floor, step on the protrusion of the water pipe in the middle as a buffer, and then land on the ground steadily and lightly, and then he I saw my sister being killed in the nanny's room on the first floor, screaming and fighting.

Then there was the escape... Then Ke Xia finally discovered that that night, 007 took him through the window of the sundry room in the garden and got into an old car parked by the side of the road. Afterwards, he passed out. When he woke up, he was already smuggling to the alliance ship, and 007 told him that the empire was very dangerous, so he could only leave.

The robot came in with a tray and brought him dinner. The sunset was already full of sky outside the window, and before he knew it, he had already spent a whole day in the study.

He looked at the robot and suddenly asked, "Robot?"

The other party said: "Your Highness, my name is Rose One."

Ke Xia said: "Rose No.[-], if I asked you to protect my child now, and someone attacked and killed the whole family at night, and only you were still protecting my child, what plan would you adopt?"

Tianbao said: "I will fight for the little prince to the last moment."

"I mean, are you going to save him as much as you can, and take him away?"

"If the master gave me the emergency plan to escape."

"Will you smuggle to the alliance? If the enemy is too strong, it is already dangerous to stay in the empire."

"If the owner has this plan in the emergency plan, and it is optimal under the circumstances at the time and meets the pre-set conditions, I will implement it."

Ke Xia closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "If not? Will you run away with the child?"

"I will listen to the little master's order to decide whether to stay or escape, and defend the little master's personal safety until the last moment."

Ke Xia took a deep breath, leaned back on the armchair, raised his head, and suddenly covered his hot eyes with his arms.

The night when the misfortune happened was so sudden. My father and mother have always been their princes and concubines with peace of mind. They have never coveted the throne. The emergency plan for their eldest son's robot is mostly the emergency plan set up by the machine manufacturer. , that is, to protect the personal safety of children, even at the expense of themselves.How could it be possible to make an intricate contingency plan for fleeing the empire and smuggling into the alliance, which obviously violated the laws of the empire?

All causes and effects seem to be connected. The river should run to the sea, and the migratory birds fly to the warm country in the cold. Everything is so logical.

A robot does not know when or why, the soul awakened in the body, he privately sparred, wanted to leave the master, buy a smuggling ticket, leave the empire, go to the alliance to start a new life, but on the night when he was about to start a new life, his The master's family suddenly encountered a siege, and the robot, which could have ignored everything, turned around and rescued the little master. Since then, he has joined the alliance incognito, and then...

It was decades of companionship and assistance, even when he was ill, he still guarded him unswervingly, and accompanied him in Skynet under anonymity and changed his face.

Contrary to what he and Hanakakaze had imagined at the beginning, it was not that the robot 007 was born with consciousness during the long-term companionship and protection with its master, but that this robot had an independent soul and consciousness from the very beginning.

He was not ordered by a program to protect his master, who had rescued him and guarded him for so many years. Everything was due to his independent soul and choice.

At that time, he could have left the empire decisively. No one would ever know that he was a robot in the past, but he chose to rescue the naughty little master, and took this burden with him across the ocean to pay for his living expenses. He went to school, healed him, and helped him find a way to overcome the sequelae of Mer's disease. He was admitted to the military academy and guarded him for so many years.

Regardless of illness, exile, or war, he never left. He didn't want to leave him until he became the commander of the alliance, because his machine body was broken...

Ke Xia sat up suddenly, lowered his arms, his blue icy eyes suddenly narrowed: leave!

Every late night without Du Yin's company, he would repeatedly think about it but never figured it out. Why did Du Yin leave the Alliance and go to the Empire?

As long as his machine body talks to himself, not to mention his identity as the commander of the alliance, even his status as the commander of the alliance, he can completely change his machine body to the latest and best machine body, even if it violates the laws of the alliance to make a simulation Robot, but that is not worth mentioning at all with the backing of the Onegin family AG company.

Why did he leave himself and the alliance under the charge of treason?What was it about Empire that attracted him?He has a soul, and he dare not tell himself.A robot with the same soul as a human, at that time hastily left the alliance and smuggled into the empire, what would it be for?

What is something that the alliance cannot provide, but the empire can?

The answer seemed to be jumping out in my mind, breaking through the ground at any time.

He almost trembled and rang the bell to call Huajian Jiu to come in: "You immediately go to the laboratory where Prince Chakoshi customized the clone. No matter what method you use, I need the customization and purchase information of the clone."

Hua Jianjiu has been obsessed with the matter of Captain Du Yin that he just found out all afternoon, but he didn't react at this moment: "Which clone?"

He raised his eyes to meet Ke Xia's eyes, and suddenly his heart trembled. Ke Xia's eyes were almost full of sadness and injury: "Shao Jun."

"That body should not have been custom-made by Prince Ke Xi. Ke Xi would not like such a clone. I want the information of the real custom-made person. No matter what method you use, I want the truth. The sooner the better."
