The daily life of a poor husband [Interstellar]

The airtight metal plate isolates the possibility of contact with the outside world. The monotonous platinum luster of the boxy and rigid room creates the illusion that the entire space is infinitely extended.

Augustus sat quietly in the corner against the wall.

The optical brain on his wrist was confiscated before entering the prison, and the fully enclosed cell had no chance of contacting the outside world.

He didn't know how long he had been here, there was no window, and he couldn't know the alternation of day and night from the change of the sun rising and the moon setting.A box of nutritional supplements is neatly stacked on the small bracket that is integrated diagonally with the surrounding walls. No one will come to deliver meals. If you feel hungry, you can drink the nutritional supplements yourself. Here, there is no sound, no change, He could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

The passage of time is easily blurred in this closed space of solitude.

Augustus silently stared at the blank space at his feet. He never thought that he would be imprisoned as a loser.

Since entering this prison cell, he has been completely cut off from the outside world, and has no way of knowing the news from the outside world, but he probably can guess some.

Since Simon had seen through his plan long ago, it was impossible for him to not prepare for anything. He failed on his side, and those federal troops who followed him into the Emperor Star would not be able to gain anything from the opponent's hands.

There is also the frontier star. Since Simon dared to appear on the emperor star at that time, the frontier must have been arranged long ago.

Regardless of personal feelings, from the point of view of the spectators, it is not unfair to lose to Simon this time.

Who would have thought that the younger generation, who had grown up under his nose all the time, would be able to hide it so deeply and hide it so well.

However, there are still some things he can't figure out.

He went through everything in this cell, which had enough space and time for people to think, and there were still many things that didn't make sense.

Even if Simon hated himself because Xie Yang was once captured by the people in the laboratory, how did Simon know that the people behind the laboratory were his own?

He dare not say anything else, but he has complete confidence in the human body/experiment, and it is impossible to find out about himself, because he has never appeared in front of him, even the researchers and pharmacists who participated in those experiments back then The teachers, except for Gu Yanzhi, didn't know that they were behind the scenes.

As for Gu Yanzhi, for so many years, there have been only a handful of contacts with him. There were only a few times, and there were several turns in the middle. He would not believe it if he could be found out like this. .

And the matter of Winnie made him even more puzzled.

It is true that he has deliberately erased the traces of Winnie on the star network, but how did Simon know about his relationship with Winnie.

Not to mention the fact that he was with Winnie's mother back then, few people knew about it, and even those who knew didn't know that Winnie's mother was pregnant when she left him.

And Simon not only knew the relationship between Winnie and himself, but even guessed exactly what he wanted to do.

Augustus narrowed his eyes slightly. At first glance, these things seem to be all right, but none of them can withstand scrutiny.

His intuition told him that Simon would discover these things not because he found something that involved him, but because he knew something from the beginning, and then stared at himself to discover those things.

It's just that he really couldn't figure out where he was showing his feet.

He now has enough time and patience to pick out the fragments from the ocean of memories, and ponder bit by bit, the intersection between himself and Simon over the years.

"!—"

In an absolutely quiet environment, any slight disturbance will be infinitely magnified.

Augustus raised his eyes and looked at one of the metal walls staggered up and down, revealing a large piece of transparent glass. There was a tall figure standing there, quietly looking at himself below.

"You came."

There was no surprise on Augustus' face, and his tone could even be called calm.

Simon didn't speak, but just stood there quietly, with the lights above his head hitting his body, and because of his height, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, which made him look alienated.

"Is everything settled?"

Augustus, who didn't get a response, wasn't angry either. He continued to talk, and he didn't seem to want to get an answer from the other party, but simply wanted to say these words.

With a peaceful appearance and a familiar tone, it seems that they are still the seniors and subordinates who used to have a harmonious relationship.

He doesn't know how long he has been imprisoned, but since Simon will appear here now, at least it means that the things that should be dealt with have been dealt with almost.The other party came here now, perhaps to take him out of the prison, stand in the trial court, listen to those people describe what he did, and then convict and sentence him.

For what he did, there is no need for exile, it is directly a death sentence.

Augustus is very clear that this kind of ending is not what he wants, but when this day really comes, he will not be afraid.

It's just that he didn't want to take those doubts that he couldn't solve to go underground with him.

"This battle, you fought very well, but I still have a few questions to figure out," he leaned back, his posture was casual and relaxed, and the round face that was much thinner showed the kindness that Simon is most familiar with , "For the sake of having known each other for so many years, let me satisfy the curiosity of an old man."

Simon let out a short sneer.

Augustus didn't take it seriously, as if he didn't know that the other party was laughing at his thick skin.

"We've known each other for so many years, and you're still attacking my parents."

Simon looked cold and his voice was hoarse.

The smile froze on Augustus' face.

He didn't think it would be because of this.

His facial muscles tightened slowly, his eyes became deep and inquiring, as if he was meeting Simon for the first time. "When did you know?"

This answer was really beyond his expectation. In this way, those faint peacekeeping places seemed to have an explanation.

Simon asked without answering, "Is this important?"

No matter when he found out, what the other party did has become an established fact and cannot be changed.

"That's right." A dazed look flashed across Augustus's face, "It's not important."

The important thing is that from the day Simon knew the truth about the death of his parents, there would be no possibility of reconciliation between himself and him.

He looked at the junior he was most optimistic about with complicated eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

So far, no matter what he says, it won't help.

"why?"

Simon knew the other party's ambitions and plans, but he couldn't accept that the other party killed his parents, but he pretended to be a kind elder in front of him.

why?

In a trance, Augustus remembered what happened back then.

He set up the game on Alpha Planet early in the morning. He didn't target Rodrigo and his wife, but if he didn't think about their ending, it wasn't necessarily true.

Without Rodrigo and his wife, without the Fourth Army, there would be others. However, under the circumstances at that time, the sacrifice would be the Fourth Army that went to Alpha Star to quell the chaos, which is already a fact.

He also felt sorry for this, after all, it was his friend.

Pity.

The reason why he valued Simon later was not only that the other party was excellent, but also because he meant to make up for it.

Of course, his so-called compensation will only make Simon feel sick.

"Your parents died because of me, and your partner will be taken away. It's also related to me. It's normal for you to keep an eye on me."

Augustus nodded, sorting out the matter.

It should be that Simon accidentally discovered that there is his own shadow behind the Alpha star incident, so he has been staring at himself for a long time.Later, Xie Yang was mistakenly taken away by the people below as an orphan. Other people would not be suspicious of him, but it is not impossible for Simon, who has been secretly staring at him, to find any clues.

This also indirectly confirmed his conjecture. Simon didn't find out about himself because he discovered those things at all, but because he doubted himself from the beginning, so he found out about things related to him.

In fact, there are still some details in the middle, which he still hasn't figured out, but it is no longer necessary.

Since Simon knew the truth about Alpha Star, he had already lost.

"No matter what you think, I really hope you are well."

He also didn't expect that after indirectly causing the death of Simon's parents, Xie Yang would almost fall into the hands of the people below him. Everything will go wrong.

Naturally, Simon scoffed at such words. The reason why he came here today was to take someone to the trial court, to tell the whole empire what the other party had done, and to personally send him off on the road.Hearing this sentence now, as if the elders cared about the younger generation, I was immediately disgusted.

Simon has never been a magnanimous person, and if he is disgusted by others, it is impossible not to add trouble to others.

He looked at Augustus sighing, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, his dark purple pupils had been dyed scarlet red at some point, "You know exactly what's in those laboratories, right?"

Augustus thought he wanted to settle accounts with himself about Xie Yang, but he didn't deny it.

After all, he led it all by himself. It would be a lie to say that he didn't know what those researchers would do to the experimental subjects. In fact, he knew very well that he had even seen some of the experiments with his own eyes.

It was just because there was Xie Yang in the middle, he didn't want to say more to stimulate Simon, so he just nodded and didn't say much.

As long as you know, I'm afraid you don't know.

"Winnie has a son."

Augustus thought he heard it wrong, and looked at the figure standing behind the glass in disbelief, with half of his body hidden in the darkness.

"Guess where I found him? The underground laboratory of Star X-11, you should know that place."

Augustus trembled uncontrollably, and his intuition told him that Simon's next words were definitely not what he expected to hear, but he couldn't help pricking up his ears for the news about the grandson who knew the existence for the first time. .

"When we found him, he had just been privately injected with medicine by a researcher. His body rejected him, his consciousness cloud collapsed, and he was left with his last breath..." Simon's voice was not loud, but every word seemed to hit Austrian. Looking at Gustas's unbelievable appearance, Simon raised the corners of his lips viciously, knowing how to insert a knife into people's hearts would be more effective, "He stayed in that underground laboratory for a while. One year. Do you want to see his picture?"

Augustus didn't want to believe this was true. He didn't know about the existence of this child. If Simon hadn't told him now, he wouldn't even know that Winnie had a child.But what this unmasked grandson brought him was not a pure surprise, but a complete shock—he knew better than anyone how dirty those laboratories were.And the underground laboratory on X-11 star is even more outstanding.

But now, he was told that his grandson, the child of his precious Winnie, was treated as an experimental subject in that underground laboratory and tortured for a whole year?

Whispering softly, like a poisonous snake swallowing a long snake letter, it clings to him tightly, encircling him tightly, like falling into an abyss.

In the photo, the young man who was so skinny that he could vaguely see a familiar shadow between his eyebrows and eyes was the most terrifying nightmare.

Augustus trembled all over.

I don't want to, and I don't dare to accept that the person who made the boy in the photo into such a person is me.

Why is it so.

Why didn't he go to X-11 himself.

It was him, he personally killed his grandson.

Augustus couldn't forgive himself, closed his eyes, he seemed to see the accusation and anger in the eyes of the girl he loved the most, and an overly pale and thin face appeared in his mind unexpectedly.

"!!!——"

The siren blared.

The prison guards rushed over quickly, and the first thing they saw was Simon who was standing still, followed by the mentally violent criminal in the cell below, who seemed to be insane.

The watchman was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly said bad luck.

Seeing that people were about to be taken away, the result was a mental riot, which really wasted their time.

"Lieutenant General, look at this..."

The guard asked tentatively. Although he knew that Simon had no contact with the criminal, he didn't know why. When he saw the other party, he felt hairy in his heart.

Simon glanced at him with a half-smile, "What should I do, do you still need me to teach you?"

The watchman was shocked immediately, and denied it repeatedly, "No, no, no."

It's not that this kind of situation has never happened before. Just apply for a holographic trial. The guards didn't dare to delay, so they hurried down to make arrangements.

Leaving Simon alone in place, he closed the photo just now with a calm expression, and it was displayed in the input dialog box, and the other party sent another photo soon.

The mental state has improved a lot, and the pale boy with some flesh growing on his face is sitting under the tree, quietly watching the children playing not far away...
