rainy night talk

For a moment, Chen Zhen's brain froze.The inappropriate atmosphere, inappropriate lines, and too many flaws, Chen Zhen didn't know where to start.He looked at William silently, thinking: He is more suitable for reciting cold numbers or giving orders, rather than some romantic and exaggerated words.

William adjusted his posture, trying to make the stiff Chen Zhen lie more comfortably in his arms.He pressed Chen Zhen's head on his shoulder, and Chen Zhen received the signal of "hold on". Before he understood, the sudden and rapid movement in front of him immediately made Chen Zhen understand the meaning of "hold on".

Chen Zhen didn't even have time to observe how William avoided those patrols. After a burst of wind and lightning, he found himself on the ground.

Chen Zhen let out a long sigh of relief, let go of his hand and said, "You can let me down."

"No." With that said, William raised his arms a little higher and hugged him tighter.

"..."

Before tonight, Chen Zhen couldn't imagine that he would let a man carry him back to the hotel in public.Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and there were not many people in the hall.But Chen Zhen still felt embarrassed, and buried his face in the shoulder beside him.

At this time, Chen Zhen felt that the other party could be called a happy mood, but compared with himself, this gap made Chen Zhen explode after returning to the room.

"You follow me?"

"I prefer to call it 'induction'." William put Chen Zhen on the sofa and began to check his calf.

Ignoring the pain coming from his leg, a certain word made Chen Zhen feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

And William also noticed it, and he hurriedly explained: "I only noticed it when you arrived in Stark District. I want to see you..." William paused, as if he was observing Chen Zhen's reaction, "If you don't want to, I swear I won't show up."

"When you found me in Stark District, how far were you from me?" Chen Zhen asked coldly.

William showed a wry smile, "You know I can't lie to you." With a bit of helplessness and a little pitiful resentment in Bilan's eyes, he sighed and replied, "About 9 AU."

In other words, William's positioning for himself can span a quarter of the star sector.

Chen Zhen gasped secretly: Can the induction between the whistle and the distance go so far?

At this moment, William found out the medical kit, half kneeled down and gave medicine to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen's language system was a bit stuck. He stared at someone's whirlpool exposed to his eyes, and began to reflect on his rude and unreasonable behavior just now, and the feeling of guilt began to spread slowly.

"I thank you for your help tonight, but this does not mean that I will forgive some of your actions." Chen Zhen turned his head away and said, looking at the lights on the wall.

"I didn't mean to. I found that you were not in the hotel, but the communication equipment was busy all the time... I am very worried about you." William raised his head to look at Chen Zhen, and the original blue iris showed a softer touch of green under the light, " I think your friend is too." The communicator appeared in William's hands at some point, and Chen Zhen's temple twitched violently after hundreds of communication requests.

The moment Chen Zhen took over the communicator, he knew that he was completely defeated.

"...I'm sorry." Chen Zhen's voice was almost inaudible.

William's hand paused for half a second, he smiled at Chen Zhen, then lowered his head silently to take the medicine.

The room was very quiet, shrouded in warm yellow lights, and the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Zhen felt that the hand holding his ankle was a little hot.

Chen Zhen's eyes wandered for a while, and he pretended to say casually, "I thought soldiers would be very busy."

"I'm probably not as busy as you think." William finished handling his calf, still maintaining a half-squat position, he looked up at Chen Zhen from the bottom up, "You want to know what I do?"

At the beginning, Chen Zhen's heart beat faster, "I remember this is classified."

"If you want to know, you can know."

"..." Chen Zhen knew what this meant, and immediately touched his warning line. He immediately replied, "I don't want to know."

"You really don't want to know?" Through the half-rim metal glasses, the old man showed a slightly narrow smile.

Chen Zhen took a big sip of milk to hide his embarrassment. He put down the glass and wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, trying to change the subject.

"After that, I received an anonymous email, which contained the records of the security company's entry and exit at the space jump station for the past three quarters."

Records show that the jump intervals of the transport planes involved in the accident were extended to varying degrees.Although this doubt can no longer be extended to further investigation, but with the AI ​​verdict given by Chen Zhen, it is enough as a bargaining chip for them to renegotiate with the security company.

"In the end, the security company admitted that the accident was caused by the improper operation of their temporary technicians, and they will issue a public statement and destroy these AI transporters."

"Temporary technician." The old man tapped the handrail lightly with his fingertips, "No matter how many centuries pass, this method is still so easy to use."

Although the incident was full of doubts, at the moment the agreement was signed, everything was declared over.Chen Zhen returned to his studio in Balmoor District. Louis didn't say a word about his actions that night, but he still couldn't help asking the mysterious sender.

Regarding the sender, Chen Zhen really wanted to roll her eyes, that low-level anonymous method, as if she was afraid that others would not see who he was.

"It's more like some kind of egotistical claim," Louis commented. "What the hell does he do?"

"I don't know." Chen Zhen still resisted to understand William.

This act of "understanding" was too "intimate" for Chen Zhen.However, due to some common problems of AI engineers, he will still involuntarily analyze real people and make appropriate inferences.And when this kind of behavior is carried out by more than two engineers, it will become a kind of leisure activity.

"Actually, I can roughly guess his identity." Chen Zhen said frankly: "First of all, during the execution of the mission, only the identity of the middle and senior officers needs to be kept secret. He is very familiar with interstellar flight. By observing the scratches on the surface of the aircraft, I noticed that something was wrong with the security company at that time, I guess it came from a certain starship. And his appearance in different star regions also proves this."

"He still has a lot of authority to decide how long he will leave the starship." Lewis added.

"Yes, a mid-to-senior officer from the starship."

Louis snapped his fingers, "Starship pilot!"

"I don't think so."

"you sure?"

Chen Zhen: "Consider the age factor."

"The age factor can only be used for correction, but not for denial." Louis shook his head and retorted, "Don't you believe us to bet?"

Both engineers were confident in their analysis, but this time, they were probably going to be disappointed.

That night, when Chen Zhen reported Louis was safe in the hotel, William returned to the Stark space station on the secondary star.In the non-civilian area, a huge starship docked quietly at the port. It was twice the size of the Tianying that Chen Zhen saw just now.

In the ascending ladder, William glanced at the time and breathed a sigh of relief.

The metal door opened slowly in front of him, and a cold mechanical voice sounded:

"Welcome back, Captain."
