you are deep in the stars

After the starlight went out, the living room was briefly enveloped in darkness.

The bug was thrown into the drink cup by Han Zhuo. At this time, it was being hit by the carbonic acid bubbles, making a fine "sizzling" sound.Bai Xi didn't turn on the light immediately, he carefully discerned the other person's expression in the dark, and then asked cautiously: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Han Zhuo touched the remote control and turned the living room lights to the brightest. "I remembered some past events, so I'm not in a good mood, sorry."

Bai Xi thought for a while: "It turns out that when you are in a bad mood, the little star will disappear."

Han Zhuo was a little amused: "I thought you would ask me what happened in the past."

"Can you say it?" Bai Xi brewed two cups of hot tea, "Here, Jasmine."

"Of course, you are my employer and my student, and you have the right to conduct a background check on me." Han Zhuo sat on the sofa, "Shi Tian is right, I used to stay in the underground warehouse for a long time , six years... or seven years? I can't remember exactly."

Bai Xi was obviously surprised: "You?"

Han Zhuo nodded and said frankly, "This is an unpleasant story."

When the first batch of supernatural beings just arrived on the earth, they did have a good time helping and supporting each other, but as the years passed, disputes and contradictions inevitably emerged, and in "How to resolve conflicts" In this matter, some people chose to stay away, some chose to be violent, and some chose to betray their race and cooperate with humans. The underground warehouse also took shape at that time.

In the government, scientific institutions, and underground research organizations, the existence of aliens has long been a semi-open secret. Human beings long to have the same powerful energy as them, and envy the magical self-healing physique of supernatural beings. This kind of envy has been bloody and killing from the very beginning - because only through a large number of individual research experiments can it be possible to find out the mystery of the common genes of supernatural beings, and use them in biology, medicine, or even military industries, then It is definitely a huge profit that is unimaginable.

Money and power are the most terrifying devils, and it is for this purpose that humans and the rulers of the underground warehouses finally reached an agreement, and the hunters began to dispatch in large numbers, continuously sending the kidnapped supernatural beings to various places for research room.

"What about you?" Bai Xi asked.

"I haven't participated in it." Han Zhuo shook his head. "I have never met my father. In the summer 11 years ago, I wanted to go abroad to find my mother, but was taken to the underground warehouse by the hunter with an anesthetic needle."

At the beginning of the matter, no one took this gentle-looking young man seriously. He was randomly imprisoned in a suburban prison, and he was going to be sent to the research institute with other unlucky ones a week later, but it made him What no one expected was that that night, the entire prison was dismantled into ruins with bare hands. The alarm only sounded in time, and it was shattered under the fists. The kidnapped supernatural beings rushed to break through the power grid , Under the cover of night, scattered and fled to the depths of the dense forest.

Listening to his narration, Bai Xi felt his scalp tingling, not only because of the kidnapping case many years ago, but also because of this incident, for the first time he truly realized the status of supernatural beings on the earth. Even with a legal identity, this group can be kidnapped and disappeared at will, and even the police cannot do it, because the police station and the research institute belong to the same government, and the human police will always only serve the interests of human beings.

Just like what Han Zhuo said before, even if hundreds of thousands of years have passed, people with supernatural powers will always be guests of the earth, and the only way to turn them into masters is to completely disappear their supernatural powers and become the eyes of scientific research institutions. The waste in the house - that's why Lao Zhou's noodle shop has a booming business. No matter how remote the corner is, the customers still come in an endless stream.

"What are you thinking?" Han Zhuo asked him.

"Hmm...no." Bai Xi came back to his senses, put down the cold flower tea in his hand, and asked again, "You have been in the underground warehouse for six or seven years, so did your escape from prison that night fail?"

"The rest of the supernatural beings escaped, and I was the only one who failed." Han Zhuo replied, "Shi Tian was there at the time, and he ordered all the hunters to deal with me."

After being captured again, Han Zhuo was not sent away, but stayed in the underground warehouse for a long time.

"Are you training to be a new hunter?" Bai Xi asked.

"More than that." Han Zhuo said, "Different from the previous managers, after Shi Tian took over the underground warehouse, he quickly established a huge scientific research institution. What he wants is not only wealth."

Bai Xi guessed: "Is there still power?"

"The supernatural beings have more power than humans, but they have been unable to occupy a dominant position on the earth. One is because the population base is too small, and the other is because the residence is too scattered, and they have long been used to hiding their identities. There is no unified A leader." Han Zhuo said, "Shi Tian wants to be this leader, or not just a leader."

Bai Xi shook her head: "I don't understand, what does it mean to be more than just a leader?"

"His scientific research institute only does two things, making superhumans crazier and transforming ordinary humans into superhumans." Han Zhuo said, "He wants to form his own army, or even more ulterior motives." Purpose."

Bai Xi frowned slightly: "So when you were there, you were also..."

"During the five years in the underground warehouse, I was forced to accept countless transformation experiments," Han Zhuo smiled. "It was a truly dark and hellish time, but fortunately, the vitality is tenacious enough."

Han Zhuo was not the only one who underwent transformation at the same time, but he was the only one who survived.Faster movement speed, stronger ability, slower aging process, and better self-healing ability - during that time, Shi Tian and his researchers almost regarded Han Zhuo as a treasure, they were greedy Carrying out cruel experiments on him again and again, happily watching him gradually become stronger until finally invincible.

"After the last experiment, I used a bomb to end the underground research institute and left Shi Tian's control." Han Zhuo said, "At the beginning, he became angry and sent countless pursuers to deal with me, but later Gradually changed his attitude, and became as responsive to me as he showed on the phone just now, and it even sounded a little humble."

"It can be explained." Bai Xi nodded, "You are their only successful experiment, and it is not a good choice for the hunters to deal with you." Because whether it is the casualties of the hunters or Han Zhuo, the underground warehouse and the Shi Tian is a loss.

"Shi Tian doesn't want the pursuers to fight against me, but it doesn't mean that I won't take the initiative to find the pursuers." Han Zhuo said, "After leaving the underground warehouse, I have snatched people from them countless times, and it is precisely for this reason , more and more people with supernatural powers will come to ask for help, including your father."

The topic sounded a bit heavy, Bai Xi put one arm around his shoulder, shook his head with a smile, "So you are the superhero."

"Shi Tian came back this time, half because of me, and half because of you." Han Zhuo hugged him and put him on the coffee table, so that the two of them faced each other. "His research has actually failed, and he wants to make the supernatural beings stronger." , I have been the only one who has succeeded in so many years, and as for wanting to turn the earthlings into supernatural beings, there is not even one."

"So we will depend on each other from now on." Bai Xi put her hands on his shoulders and said solemnly, "Destroy the evil forces together and save all mankind."

Han Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "The movie lines are not applicable here."

"But my attitude is really serious." Bai Xi pulled him to stand up, "Then what should I do?"

"You need to learn to control your super power first." Han Zhuo pinched his nose, "Go, I want a glass of whiskey with ice."

……

Bai Xi squatted in front of the refrigerator, holding the glass religiously with both hands, trying to freeze the wine inside, but failed after a full 5 minutes, and a puff of hot smoke came out instead.

Han Zhuo leaned against the kitchen door, looking at him with a half-smile.

"I'm very nervous." Bai Xi defended, "You look like an invigilator now." Does the dean know?

"OK." Mr. Han turned around cooperatively, leaving room for the students to cheat.

After another 3 minutes, Bai Xi poked his back with his finger, and handed over a lump of brown ice with a guilty conscience. The cold air flew around, as if he had just been taken out of a warehouse at minus [-] degrees, and it was extremely hard.

Han Zhuo fell silent.

"Do you want corporal punishment?" Bai Xi stretched out her hand consciously, and emphasized, "But you have to hit it lightly."

Han Zhuo raised his hand and waved it in the air.

Bai Xi closed her eyes.

Then a hand full of twinkling little stars fell.

……

In another high-rise apartment, Liu Chunchun was trembling on the phone to Bai Xi, but no one answered, so he became even more worried, and continued to tiptoe, like a thief squatting at the bathroom door - the rushing water inside had at least lasted An hour, and it doesn't sound like it's going to stop at all.

Going out to negotiate with the opponent, and taking a bath with a dark face when he came back, this earth-shattering coherent plot diverged through thinking... Liu Chunchun thought sympathetically and sadly, could it be that he was molested by someone?

Assuming that the storm was really too rough, Liu Chunchun was so thundered that he wandered around the door three or four times with his hands behind his back, and finally mustered up the courage to ask about it, but the bathroom door had already been pulled open vigorously.

So he was caught off guard and screamed and fell to the ground.

Wang Yuanchen was condescending, with suspicious eyes.

……

This night, Liu Chunchun spent a lot of effort, almost speaking dryly, to convince Mr. Wang that he was really not a perverted voyeur.

"But you still scare me." Wang Yuanchen leaned on the sofa, holding a diamond ring on his fingertips.

"I'm so sorry." Liu Chunchun held the edge of his expensive nightgown, raised his hand and swore, "Next time I will definitely stay five meters away from your bathroom."

"Apologize and it's over?" Wang Yuanchen untied his belt, and hooked his fingers at him charmingly.

Liu Chunchun suddenly burst into tears, and want to paint nudes again, otherwise you should beat me up, big brother!

"Hurry up!" Wang Yuanchen frowned fiercely.

Liu Chunchun rolled and climbed to carry the easel, his heart was filled with desolation and cold rain.

Living under the fence is better than death.

After an hour, Bai Xi finally found seven missed calls, so she called back and asked him what's the matter.

"Brother Bai," Liu Chunchun took the time to complain, "You don't know, this Mr. Wang is too much, not only forcing me to help him draw, but also throwing gems at me if the painting is not good."

Bai Xi was lying on the carpet, he put the phone to Han Zhuo's ear leisurely.

"The pigeon eggs are so big, it hurts like hell." Liu Chunchun continued to cry against the wind.

"Good night." Mr. Han pressed the hang up button.

Bai Xi gave him a thumbs up.

"It's time for you to rest." Han Zhuo looked at the time, "After get off work tomorrow, I'll take you to a place that is definitely brighter than little stars."

"But I don't like shining." Bai Xi turned over and continued to sleep in the melting halo all over the floor, and smiled at him with bent eyes, "I only like your little star."
