The General's Cat Always Wants To Climb Into My Bed

"In three days he was gone. Not long after he was gone, about a month, there was an explosion."

He went through the story of the year in his mind, but erased it lightly from his mouth.

Shen Zhirou moved her lips silently, and finally she glanced at her eyes and said nothing.

"Is that explosion really...really the same as that Ferdinandia said, us, you...you and mother?"

He glanced at her and patted her head.

Shen Zhirou felt his brother's warm palm, and his indifferent and deep eyes, and his heart suddenly became quiet, as if he opened a cloud with his own power, and the grief and haze were swept away by the sunlight.

That is all in the past, and facing it again, although it is unforgettable, it should also make people stronger.

"Originally we couldn't escape, but luckily we were lucky," Shen Zhifan was able to smile bitterly, "You know, just in time, I studied the mechanism of the semi-finished product made by grandpa for three days. A, although it is very old and ugly, it actually works.”

Shen Zhirou expressed her surprise: "Really, that's the thing? When Grandpa showed it to us, I thought it was a big nest. It's really ugly."

For a moment, Shen Zhifan was speechless by his sister's uprightness.

Although that mech really looks like a pimple-covered melon, it's not good to talk about it.

"You have been in a coma, because you were seriously injured at the time, and you didn't know about these things. At that time, we were having a hard time because of... our parents and the planet, so I didn't make this paragraph clear."

Shen Zhifan's eyes were very quiet, but not beautifully quiet, his eyes looked more like the ungentleness soaked in years than his appearance.

"Well, indeed, Ferdinandia did not lie to you, it is indeed true."

Shen Zhirou looked at him, her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.

"My mother told me before she died that we have enemies, we are a little more ordinary than imagined, and so is our enemy, so we can only live cautiously," he finally pried out the secret buried deep in his heart little by little, I felt relieved that I was no longer alone, "I thought it was a terrorist organization at first, and it was just a simple feud with my parents."

"Do you remember, when I first entered the Interstellar Orphanage, that Mr. Gurley contacted me."

"He said he knew my parents, so he could support me, but it was the same as what my mother said, we couldn't use our original identities to do some honest work," he sighed, "I didn't think too much at that time, He told me to go to the underground mecha field, so I went."

"Really, there is no other way. We need money."

Shen Zhirou stepped forward and hugged Shen Zhifan.

"I'm sorry, I always thought... I really didn't expect that you worked so hard."

Shen Zhirou buried his head in Shen Zhifan's chest, he smiled lightly, feeling the temperature of his younger sister.

"Actually, it's okay. Now that I've survived it, I think it's okay. I just feel that I'm really amazing."

"It's okay, don't cry. I had a thorough treatment later, and most of the sequelae at that time were healed. Otherwise, I would be much less able to see people now. I once had an eight-centimeter scar on my face, which was ugly... Alright, alright, I won’t scare you anymore.”

"Don't cry, Zhirou, be strong."

He really doesn't seem to take those things to heart anymore.

"...didn't cry!"

Shen Zhirou let out a cry.

Shen Zhifan: "Then wipe your snot first, and don't touch me."

Shen Zhirou: "..."

What about the warmth and family affection that was promised, why are you so indifferent in the blink of an eye.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Ferdinandia for discovering my talent and giving me the conditions to treat me, otherwise I wouldn't have improved so fast."

Shen Zhirou raised her head: "Isn't Ferdinand a good person? Why do you all say—"

"I thought so too at first." He was silent for a while, as if he felt a little sad, "Especially when he told me the truth about the explosion, I really felt that the whole world collapsed, and there was darkness in front of me, and only he told me Opened a hand."

"He was channeling my hatred, making me extreme and desperate. I still had a diary that I couldn't find because I had burned it."

"Because the record of me in that diary is terrible," he said indifferently about his past, "When I read it again, I couldn't resist burning it."

"If Niya hadn't found me, I might have done everything in the future. I would kill whoever Ferdinandia asked me to... No, I have already done it."

His voice twisted a little at this point.

"Zhirou, elder brother has done all these things wrongly, but there is nothing we can do."

Shen Zhirou looked at him in surprise.

"I often lost my temper in Mecha Base, I couldn't control it...you can't imagine how much I loved it and how much I feared it."

Shen Zhifan covered his eyes.

"I used to read "Mechanical Eagle" over and over again, and my boyhood fantasies, expectations, and loves were finally reduced to torture. My pain in the underground mech yard, and the pain when I used it to kill people, over and over again corroded me."

"He asked me to help him eradicate dissidents quietly," his voice was a little obscure, "I have killed several ministers, and with the light armor he gave me, I can easily pass through layers of guards and pierce them heart."

"I don't know them, and they don't know me."

"And I did it very cleanly. I was his best 'knife'. He appreciated me."

"Do you know," Shen Zhifan said suddenly, "At that time, I was full of hatred, thinking that as long as I followed him, I could create a perfect and clean new world."

"But the ghosts who died under my hands haunt me day and night. They ask me, even if there is such a new world, are you worthy? Are you worthy of living in that new world?"

"Not only the ministers, but also the undead in the underground mecha field."

He put his hands on his eyes, fell silent, and laughed again.

"They're right—"

"Why don't you deserve it!" Shen Zhirou suddenly yelled, with a crying voice, "There is nothing unworthy, everything is worthy... We have done nothing wrong, we have already lived very carefully!"

Shen Zhifan gave her a complicated look, and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Well, let's move on to Ferdinandia. We are what they call 'Sivir', Zhirou, they stand on top of this world and treat us as food."

Shen Zhirou said sobbingly: "Is it you and mother?"

Shen Zhifan frowned: "It's not just me and mother, you are too."

Shen Zhirou seemed to be shocked, and cried even harder.

"I'm so stupid. Why am I so ugly? Don't they all say that I'm beautiful?! This is the only racial advantage, have I mutated?! Why am I! I look so much better It’s hard, it’s not easy for me to look so ugly!”

He was frightened by his sister's resentment, and he patted her head again dumbfounded.

"Then didn't you realize that our mother is also pretty?"

"That's right," Shen Zhirou raised her head, "Why, oh yes, Jiajia once looked at her mother's photo and said she was very beautiful, and even said you looked like her, what kind of fresh and refined aesthetics is this?"

"...Yi Jia, when I knew her, she called herself Niya." Shen Zhifan licked his lips, feeling thirsty after talking too much, "I met her in the underground mecha yard, she was almost sold out Yes, she has been hiding there as a waiter, waiting for her family to find her."

"She is a distant cousin of Olivia. I don't remember how far away. Their families are always messy, but they are far away anyway," Shen Zhifan continued, "It can actually be seen that even in that kind of place, but her temperament and appearance are clearly that of a pampered young lady."

Speaking of Yi Jia, Shen Zhirou's expression was a bit complicated.

"As for their family, they have the ability called 'empathy'. They can use some things to see through the essence, but it's also very tiring. Mom, we don't look beautiful, but I believe we must have been beautiful before. Some methods must have been used. She left her hometown and tried her best to avoid the fate of her family."

Shen Zhirou looked at him pitifully.

Shen Zhifan couldn't bear it: "The reason why you are not beautiful... I don't know, maybe it is really a mutation."

Shen Zhirou almost couldn't catch her breath, she was very unconvinced.

"I helped her escape from the underground mecha field at that time, so she has always been very grateful to me, because of Olivia, she easily knew Ferdinandia." Shen Zhifan lowered his head, "She found me and Ferdinand came very close and told me Ferdinand was scary."

"How terrifying. He is a person who likes to kill by nature and has no feelings. He is different from normal people."

"She has been working very hard to help me. I was in a terrible state at the time, and I was always self-destructing and destroying the world, so she has been secretly researching Ferdinandia."

"It was also because of Olivia's relationship that she got close to Ferdinandia very easily. In addition, Olivia and Ferdinandia were very different, and she also discovered a secret of Ferdinandia by the way."

At this time Shen Zhifan stopped, he still didn't forget to show off.

Shen Zhirou was so angry with him: "What secret?"

"I always thought of him as the savior, but I didn't expect him to be the Great Demon King," Shen Zhifan laughed at himself, "I underestimated the charm of 'Xi Weier'. It turned out that these people really couldn't refuse the so-called immortality."

"He is more than those people. He rescued some of our people. Like us, he erased the list for us. In the name of the savior," Shen Zhifan's eyes suddenly became sharp and indifferent. "Actually he is the Experimenting with 'Sivir'."

"...do an experiment?" Shen Zhirou's heart twitched, "We, our flesh and blood, are really so useful, so why do we still suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death?"

"I don't know," Shen Zhifan smiled wryly, "I haven't eaten it, and I don't feel much about it, but they are so chasing after it so hard, maybe it really works."

"Do an experiment, um, Ferdinand is the eldest prince, do you know that he doesn't need to be so troublesome, he can completely inherit the 'property' of his father and those people, but he is unwilling...because his father is very perverted, yes, Bang Lin III, our 'Your Majesty'."

Shen Zhifan looked disgusted.

"He is a weak, bloated, and stupid man, but he has the supreme power. It is he who... destroyed Ferdinandia."

"……what?"

"He," Shen Zhifan couldn't bear it when he said this, he sighed, "When Ferdinandia was young...I don't know what kind of impact this experience had on Ferdinandia, but he lives now. Such a distorted personality, such a desire to usurp the throne, and such a destructive personality must have something to do with it."

Shen Zhirou looked blank: "What?"

Shen Zhifan sighed: "Forget it, you don't need to understand, it's disgusting anyway."

Shen Zhirou continued to look blank: "Oh."

"We didn't become test subjects, one is because I'm still useful, and the other is because...he likes me quite a lot."

Shen Zhifan had a strange expression on his face.

"Ferdinandia has countless lovers, and I don't mind pampering one more."

Shen Zhirou understood this time, and slapped her thigh fiercely angrily: "Damn, does this bastard want to eat your tofu?!"

Shen Zhifan: "...can you pat your own leg?"

In the end, he looked at Shen Zhirou's nervous look and found it funny again: "But I'm very useful, so he doesn't force it, at most, he chases after me."

Shen Zhirou thought of the girlish heart she once had, and it shattered.

"It's a pity that I still—"

"But it's okay, he is... Tsk, how should I put it, it's really, very complicated."

"His lover more or less looks like the same person." Shen Zhifan thought for a while, "Including me, I have seen that person, so I found that I have a little resemblance to his eyes."

"...Who is it?" Shen Zhirou was a little confused.

"His brother, Uriah."

"...Wait," Shen Zhirou suddenly regained his composure, "You just said that Banglin III is his father, he, his brother... oh, fuck me."

Thousands of words came to Shen Zhirou's mouth, and only one swear word could express his inner feelings.

"What's even more strange," Shen Zhifan thought for a while, "Yulia seems to be his lover as well. If it's about looking for a substitute, there's no need to find a substitute. The real master is here...so there is something wrong with him. .”

Shen Zhirou couldn't help complaining: "Are all the people in the royal family so chaotic?"

"...I don't know either," Shen Zhifan frowned, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about him, the main reason is that although I work for Ferdinandia, we are still 'Xivir' in his eyes, and he doesn't care about him. You won't let us go, you know?"

"So you have to run away, Rou Rou, you can go, my actions here... are very dangerous."

Shen Zhirou opened her eyes wide: "What action?"

Shen Zhifan was silent for a while: "I can't let Ferdinand succeed me, even if I still want a new world, but that's human nature, who can refuse to live forever for a person sitting in that position, it's a bit of an exaggeration , but I heard that it does have a certain effect.”

Shen Zhirou suddenly covered her mouth: "...do you want to kill Ferdinandia?"

Shen Zhifan looked at her silently, his eyes were flickering, and for a moment he felt that there were splinters of stars and seas inside.

He leaned down and hugged her, kissing her forehead.

"I may die, but for you, for the clansmen."

He suddenly smiled.

"I don't have any regrets anymore, I created a dream for myself. In this short period of time, I have already talked about love with my favorite person regardless of everything, and I have a final date tonight, um... very complete .”

"You see, although I woke up from the dream, I have no regrets."

Shen Zhirou was intimidated by his brother's fearless tone, and could only look at him stupidly for a moment.

It's been pretty silly though.

"Run away, Zhirou."

"You can only escape. Without Ferdinandia, there will be the next successor, those people supported by this empire... As long as there are those people, you can only escape."

"We were born unlucky."
