Hunting Game [Interstellar]

I don't know how long it took, the body seemed to have experienced a long vacuum suffocation.

With the return of consciousness, the perception gradually awakened, and the five fingers in the relaxed state unconsciously gathered together, gently clasping the soft and smooth fabric within reach... Su Shichuan frowned slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if it was still difficult to be precise In the same way as the behavior of controlling this body, after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

In the dim light, the outline of the ceiling and the chandelier became clear, Su Shichuan was slightly stunned, and an indescribable strange feeling filled his heart instantly.

This bedroom... It's been a long time since I came back.

Thinking of this, he struggled to pull out his right hand under the quilt, spread out his five fingers, and stretched it out in front of his eyes—the hands were obviously very young, with smooth skin, and there were almost no hard calluses from the use of military equipment on the palms, which indicated that the corresponding period of time was still relatively short. Very early, most likely when he first entered the Imperial Army.

When will it be?

Su Shichuan felt a headache, it seemed that this young body hadn't fully matched with the soul, so he couldn't bear excessive in-depth thinking.He closed his eyes to calm down his exhausted brain, but his consciousness that had been trapped in darkness regressed uncontrollably, back to the time when he was sitting in the shuttle cabin and listening to Sifa dying.

The core of the "hunting plan" is to break the connection between the body and the soul, and use the cracks in space to send the executor's soul back to the past. The purpose is to use the advantage of knowing everything to change history, correct mistakes, and then influence the future.Because the issues contained in it involve many high-level empires, even imperial decision-makers, even in the normal timeline, this plan is strictly confidential and only known to a few participants.

There is no doubt that this is the last card that can bring the Luo Yin Empire to its death.

It's just that I really don't have a clue about how to take this road that affects the whole body.

Su Shichuan closed his eyes and rested his mind, but the more he forced himself to calm down, the more confused his mind became.

At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded in the bedroom, like a step, the sound only made when the soles of military boots hit the ground. It was very muffled, but it seemed very abrupt in the long silence, as if sent out on purpose.

Is there anyone? !

Su Shichuan was the Supreme Commander of the Empire in his last life. He has been battle-tested for a long time and is good at manipulating S-class mechs with his consciousness. He has extremely strong mental power and his five senses have been honed to be extremely sharp. Even if he returns to his young body at this moment, All aspects have diminished, but it shouldn't even be unaware that there is a living creature in the same room as him!

Realizing this, Su Shichuan couldn't care less about waiting for the bond of soul and body, so he suddenly turned around and was about to make a move.And that guy reacted faster than him, as if his speed was not human. Su Shichuan only felt his shoulders tighten. Before he could stand up, he was pressed back intact by the other party.

For an instant, the four eyes met.

Su Shichuan quickly considered the force exerted on his shoulders, and his intuition told him that this person's ability might not be inferior to his.So after a few seconds of confrontation, he did not choose to resist, but took the initiative to relax and asked calmly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

If there is no deviation in memory, this should be the residence of the former supreme commander of the Luo Yin Empire. As the only son of the commander, his private bedroom cannot be entered by others at will.

There must be something wrong with this person!

Su Shichuan raised his eyelashes calmly, the bedroom was dimly lit, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he could only judge from his figure that he was an adult male.

Hearing that, the man didn't answer, but took a soft feather pillow from the side, put it upright on the head of the bed, and then pressed the guy who was trying to ambush him on it, and pulled it over by the way. The quilt was in a mess, and he was lifted to cover it again.

Su Shichuan: "..."

Could this be... taking care of him?

Su Shichuan frowned slightly, feeling that this man was tall and slender, his movements were blunt, he didn't look like a servant of the mansion at all.

After finishing this, the man turned back and turned on the switch on the side of the bedside table, and the wall lamp lit up immediately, and he turned to look at Su Shichuan.

With the help of the lighting, Su Shichuan finally saw his face clearly.

The man's appearance was very young, he looked only in his early twenties, the lines of his facial features were straight and handsome, as perfect as if he had been traced by someone stroke by stroke, he was a good-looking young man.His expression was very calm, he looked clean, without any sense of attack, and he was completely different from the tough guy just now.He was wearing a very neat dark gray uniform suit, which set off his tall figure and spread his shoulders.He met Su Shichuan's gaze without hesitation, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes carried a subtle sense of scrutiny.

It's like looking at a different object.

Seeing Su Shichuan inexplicably, his face darkened, and he asked again in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

This time the man had a reaction, but he didn't answer directly. Instead, he bent his right leg first, and knelt respectfully on one knee beside the bed.Su Shichuan instantly realized something was wrong, and then he heard the other party say: "Master, hello, it's the first time we meet, I am an advanced intelligent body, code-named 'Seventeen'."

"Advanced intelligent body..." Su Shichuan repeated this word, looked Shi Qi up and down, and said again, "So you are not human?"

Seventeen frowned, tilted his head and looked at Su Shichuan, and after a long while he adjusted and answered clearly: "The physical material of our advanced intelligent body is silicon, which is more stable and firm than ordinary carbon-based life forms, so to be precise Said that although I am not a human being, some conditions are superior to human beings."

Su Shichuan recalled how he was when he was pushed back to the pillow by this guy, and suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry: "You are very arrogant."

Seventeen seriously examined the master's words, and then replied: "'Arrogance' is one of the hundreds of millions of codes that the creator implanted into the emotional program. It was created subjectively, and I just invoked and executed it. In other words , my creator is proud of his ability to create a life form superior to human beings."

"Who is your creator?" Su Shichuan asked.

Seventeen: "Dr. Yunus."

Su Shichuan was startled, and said in surprise: "Did the doctor create you? That's why you are here?!"

"It's like this, master." Seventeen said, "I'm your assistant arranged by Dr. Yunus to prevent someone between you and His Highness Sifer Tranze from failing to come back after an accident. The doctor knows well that' The difficulty of the hunting plan', in order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, I was created in a dormant state in advance, and when the plan starts, my initial program will be awakened immediately, and then I will come to you."

Su Shichuan's heart tightened uncontrollably the moment he heard that name, but then he asked as if nothing had happened, "The Commander's Mansion is heavily guarded, how did you get in?"

Seventeen said very seriously: "The shape of the silicon-based intelligent body can be changed arbitrarily. I mimicked myself into a fresh cauliflower, which was brought in by the workers who delivered the supplies in the morning."

"..." Su Shichuan couldn't imagine that scene, and said helplessly, "I don't see that you are quite useful."

Shi Qi proudly raised his chest: "Master, Shi Qi has many advantages."

There was a smile in Su Shichuan's eyes, and he felt that the character of this intelligent body was quite interesting.Moreover, he was left behind by Dr. Yunus. Considering that at this point in time, there is still another companion who understands history and the future, Su Shichuan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

—At least, he is not alone.

"That's right." Su Shichuan looked at Seventeen and said, "There is a certain error in the end point of the soul crossing. Do you know the exact time now?"

Seventeen nodded, and answered truthfully: "Today is September 387, 9 years of the Milky Way calendar. According to the data I have stored..." As an artificial intelligence, he is very aware of the time difference, and he understands that it is impossible for ordinary people to Memorizing what happened on a specific day decades ago, he naturally wanted to give a detailed overview to the man in front of him, but before he finished speaking, he saw the other man raise his arm, so he consciously fell silent.

It turned out that it was the first time in 50 years, Su Shichuan smiled in his heart, he really did not expect to return to this point in time.

He had just turned 24 this year, and had been in the military for less than six months, but he had already received the rank of major general.

The Luo Yin Empire won the control of the entire galaxy through war, and they highly advocated force internally. Influenced by the founding parents who had passed away long ago, Su Shichuan was dubbed the halo of the son of the commander since he was a child, and he was the future supreme commander handpicked by the old emperor. He is destined to assist the next new emperor.

It's just that the emperor who was loyal to him for the first time not only abandoned the country and fled in the end, but also became the chief culprit that caused Xifa to die in battle alone!

But he was sent back to save his empire...

This is simply ironic!

Under the thin quilt, Su Shichuan's five fingers clasped unconsciously, and his joints rubbed together. Because of the force, his whole arm trembled uncontrollably.However, Su Shichuan's face was calm, and he could not see even the slightest emotional fluctuation.Seventeen is still half-kneeling beside him, staring sideways at his master's face. The intelligent body's sensitive sensing system can capture the slightest changes. He noticed Su Shichuan's strangeness, but he couldn't use the program to analyze the cause of that negative emotion. .

The master seems...unhappy?

Shi Qi felt at a loss. His initial program was set to "do his best to assist in completing the hunting plan", and Su Shichuan was his unconditional object of obedience, so "please the master" is naturally a death order that must be obeyed.As a loyal intelligent body, Seventeen searched all the reserve options in the database, and then quickly determined to solve the case according to Su Shichuan's childhood preference.

The next moment, the young man who was kneeling by the bed waiting for orders disappeared in an instant, and then a white-haired extra-large fox dog jumped onto the bed and pressed his fleshy body heavily on Su Shichuan's chest.

Su Shichuan was taken aback by this big guy who appeared out of nowhere, and his first reaction was to kick the dog down.Shi Qi hugged his master with two front paws and refused to let go of the paws, wagging his tail happily, while sticking out his tongue, imitating the sound of a puppy's milky "ooooooooo" and trying to roll and act like a baby.

This deformed Spitz was much bigger than a calf, and weighed close to [-] pounds. Su Shichuan was so oppressed that his chest was tight, so he quickly stopped this guy's stupid behavior, and said puzzledly: "What are you doing? "

"The detection system has sensed that your heartbeat and brain waves are not stable, and Shi Qi was ordered to deal with the negative emotions of the owner." The fox dog said in Shi Qi's voice, "When you were five years old, you once got a rare pet Jane. The beast looks like this, isn’t it cute? Are you happy?” After finishing speaking, the fox dog leaned over to lick his face.

Su Shichuan: "..."

Su Shichuan pushed the dog's head away, and said expressionlessly: "That alien beast is only [-] centimeters tall at the shoulders, did your program go wrong?"

"Uh..." The fox dog pulled its ears together, looked down at its huge dog paws, and said, "Sorry, the calculation of the ratio is wrong, and it will be corrected immediately."

Then the fox dog shrunk down to the size of a palm, obediently lying in Su Shichuan's arms: "What about now?"

Su Shichuan was tossed about for a while, not in the mood to think about the past, so he simply lifted the dog up and looked at it carefully, and asked after a while: "Is there any other mimicry? It is not convenient for you to enter and exit in human form. Pets are inconspicuous, but they can't attend formal occasions."

"It depends on your needs." Seventeen shook his tail, "The silicon matrix is ​​ever-changing and can satisfy everything you can think of."

Su Shichuan feels that the contrast between the front and back of this intelligent body is a bit big. According to the current appearance, it is really impossible to connect with the image of the clean and abstinent youth at the beginning-maybe the initial program has just been unlocked, and the relevant codes for simulating emotions are not stable enough. , the code name is "Seventeen", and there are still so many bugs. It seems that the time of the doctor's production is really tight.

Shi Qi frowned, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have caught you slandering me, isn't the content very good?"

"You think too much." Su Shichuan stared at the tip of the fox dog's nose solemnly for a few seconds, then put the little guy down, and stroked its fur.

Shi Qi squinted his eyes in comfort, really enjoying himself like a canine animal, and there was a "snoring" sound in his nasal cavity from time to time.

"By the way, master." Shi Qi suddenly remembered something and looked up at Su Shichuan.

Su Shichuan absent-mindedly said "um", and stopped his movements: "Say it."

Seventeen licked his nose and said, "According to the itinerary I have prepared in advance, you will be invited to attend a royal dinner in the evening. It will be the first time in 50 years. Do you still have any memories?"

After he finished speaking, Su Shichuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Of course, and we must attend the banquet tonight."

Seventeen heard the clues, got up with his little paws, tilted his head and stared at Su Shichuan for a moment: "Why did the master say that?"

In the dark, destiny has its own definite number, and the trajectory that seems to be interfered by human beings always unexpectedly coincides with the original curve.

The smile in Su Shichuan's eyes deepened, he took out the smudged silver-white pocket watch from his pocket, and opened the silver cover.He stared down at the still time on the dial, and answered after a long time: "Because at that time, I was the Sifer Tranze I met at this banquet."

He was silent, and then meditated in his heart——

Why don't you want to go?
