Hunting Game [Interstellar]

There is only one reason why students try to show their talents, and that is to get the teacher's attention.

Unlike Ji Yue's eagerness for quick success, Austin is obviously a smart person.He mediocreized himself in the initial stage, and he looked mediocre among the fifty newcomers. Because of his contradictory words before the additional test, he would inevitably leave people with the impression of arrogance and impulsiveness. Even Su Shichuan posted a message for him. I labeled it as a "stab head", but didn't take it to heart.

Su Shichuan stared at the name displayed on the source of the email, and recalled it quietly in his mind.

If Xifa hadn't mentioned that he would form a team with Austin that night, I'm afraid I wouldn't have paid too much attention to this guy, but this kid must be ambitious, and he is not willing to stay dormant for too long.The arrogance of the "harvesting" behavior at the end of the additional test had already caught the invigilators by surprise. Unexpectedly, the secret stealing mission would continue to have surprises, and the goal was simple and rude to upgrade to a professional teaching assistant!

Who will be next time?Is he the chief instructor?

Su Shichuan thought it was very interesting, so he closed the mail window casually.He clicked on the light screen of the communicator, found Austin's digital ID, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the plan to call someone over for a chat, thinking about observing and observing to see what other tricks he could come up with.

The next day, the bimonthly holiday officially began, and the students left the military academy one after another in designated aircraft.

The National Day of the Luo Yin Empire is set on the first day of February every year, and the week before and after is a statutory holiday, and the whole country is carnival.

Before departure, Su Shichuan notified Shi Qi and Cang Xingyun, and agreed to meet tomorrow night, and then boarded the aircraft dedicated to the faculty and staff.

Aning sat in the back seat, and when he saw Su Shichuan coming, he raised a sunny face and smiled to greet him, and continued to play games with the terminal in his hand, like a child who didn't grow up.

Su Shichuan looked down at Ah Ning's hands that were pressing the keys. Those hands were beautiful, with short and clean nails, slender phalanges, the skin on the back of the hands was very white, and the pads of the fingers were faintly covered with a yellowish Thin calluses, not very clear from his perspective.However, the visual flexibility is similar, which can be judged from the frequency and strength of the keyboard, and there is no habitual or unskilled finger.

Hiding special habits is a compulsory course for agents, and it's normal if they can't be observed, but how did that kid figure out his left-handedness?

Su Shichuan was puzzled, and decided to ask Austin to talk when he came back from vacation.

In the extreme winter night, the blizzard lasted for nearly half a month, the aircraft did not dare to speed up, and the return time more than doubled than usual.

It happened to be three o'clock in the afternoon the next day when we arrived in the imperial capital. The housekeeper of the Commander's Mansion and the driver came to pick up the young master to go home.

The housekeeper had served Su Shichuan's parents, and he was already very old. He had undergone cell optimization once, so the old state shown was not too obvious, but his hair was gray and his face had many wrinkles, but his spirit The condition is still very good.The old man's surname is Luo, with a kind face and a gentle and generous personality. Su Shichuan lost his parents since he was a child, so he regards the housekeeper as the only elder in the family, and never orders him around. He also respectfully calls him "Uncle Luo".

At the exit of the Imperial Capital Flight Hub, Uncle Luo saw the young master coming out, and hurriedly urged the driver to pick up the luggage, while he walked up to Su Shichuan on crutches, looked up at him, then held his hand and touched it. , smiled and said: "Shi Chuan has lost weight, coaching is very hard, right?"

"It's not hard." There was a smile in Su Shichuan's eyes, and his aura was completely humbled, like a docile and obedient junior.He handed over the luggage to the driver, personally helped the old man back to the suspension car, opened the door to let Uncle Luo get into the car, and then got into the car.

On the way back, Uncle Luo kindly asked a lot about the military academy, whether he would be used to living there, and if he needed to bring anything when he left, so that the servants could get ready during the holidays.Su Shichuan politely accepted the old man's kindness and never refused, saying that everything was under his arrangement.

Uncle Luo looked at him and smiled, and talked about the fact that he was like a commander-in-chief, and then mentioned the military headquarters and the recent firefights with the alliance.In the military family, such topics can be said to be commonplace. Su Shichuan simply gave his own opinion, mainly listening more than talking.

At the end, Uncle Luo sighed, and suddenly asked: "I heard that His Highness the Third Highness is in your major?"

"Yes." Su Shichuan replied truthfully, "The principal asked me to enter the school early, and that's what they were talking about."

Uncle Luo nodded when he heard the words, and said, "What do you think of the Third Highness?"

"The ability is still qualified, but not the best in the same class." After speaking, Su Shichuan asked with a smile, "Why is Uncle Luo interested in His Highness?"

"There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it straight." Uncle Luo looked sideways at Su Shichuan, "It's not a good thing for the Third Highness to be under your command. The imperial family itself is not peaceful. What was the reason for the assassination of the eldest prince three years ago?" We know very well that now that shark has also escaped from prison."

"Uncle is also worried. After all, you are still young, and you are prone to impulsiveness. The military department arranges for newcomers to return to school to teach just to hone your ability to communicate with others and take care of the overall situation. There are some things that should not be said, but Uncle Luo hopes that you will be able to deal with them when things happen. Take care of yourself first, and then consider others, Shi Chuan, do you understand?"

Su Shichuan gave an understatement "Yes" and said, "Understood, don't worry."

That sentence means that if the third prince is in danger, you can protect yourself and leave him alone.

Su Shichuan couldn't help but think too much, and thought, maybe it's not enough for Connor to tell him, has he been to someone at home?

After that, the two of them didn't talk about such a sensitive topic again, and the chat returned to the trivial matters of life.

It was almost evening when we returned to the Commander's Mansion, Uncle Luo ordered the maids to prepare dinner.Su Shichuan went back to his room alone to put his luggage, then took a shower and changed into his military uniform, and then went downstairs to have dinner and chat with the old gentleman. This delay lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

The time agreed with Seventeen was around midnight, and the location was located in an old opera house on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

This is another reason why Su Shichuan had to arrange for Seventeen to return early with Cang Xingyun.

Cang Xingyun was the first person Su Shichuan tried to win over, but he was by no means the last.People like them have sensitive identities and cannot be exposed in broad daylight. He needs a place that is secluded enough to settle down, so when Seventeen arrived in the imperial capital, Su Shichuan immediately contacted him alone and ordered to find such a place to buy.

According to Seventeen's description, the old opera house was used occasionally to host some small performances, but a fire ten years ago killed hundreds of people. The crew dared to rent the venue, and no audience dared to enter, so it gradually fell into disuse.The original owner moved to other planets a few years ago, and only put up a sale information on the Internet, but because of the taboo of the dead, no one cares about it. This time, finally, a buyer is willing to take over. The two sides hit it off, and the price was negotiated.

Su Shichuan read the design drawings sent by Shiqi two months ago, and noticed that this theater is divided into two floors above ground and underground. Equipped with sound insulation interlayer.Su Shichuan was very satisfied with this, and told Seventeen to transform the underground into a mecha training room, and then prepare all the equipment for the doctor to use.

At ten o'clock at night, Uncle Luo had already gone to bed.

Su Shichuan changed into a dark suit that was convenient for movement, put the things prepared for the other two into a backpack, then locked the door, and left the Commander's Mansion through the window without a sound.

Two blocks away, there was a hover car parked there in advance by Seventeen. Su Shichuan rushed over there without stopping, took out the key from under the vegetation in the green belt, unlocked it and opened the door to get on the car.

It is three to four hundred kilometers away from here to the church in the suburbs. Under the night, the suspension car drove away from the alley where it was parked in a low-key manner, turned onto the main road, and drove all the way out of the city.

Su Shichuan was very cautious, and did not drive directly to the entrance of the theater, but parked his car in a nearby small town, walked there on foot, and checked the terrain by the way.He found that there were no homes within a few kilometers of this place, and it seemed that it was really affected by those rumors of strange powers and gods, and it happened to be a vacuum.

It was past midnight when we arrived at the church. The Opera House is built at the foot of the mountain. It is a classical Gothic building surrounded by wrought iron fences. Weeds are overgrown inside and outside the courtyard. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time. .

Su Shichuan pushed open the crumbling iron gate and walked through the dark front yard alone.

The three of them reached a consensus before, and agreed that the theater should continue to be left in a dilapidated state, so a rusty lock was left on the main entrance, and no one could enter.Su Shichuan walked through the weeds at half a person's height, and came to the back garden of the theater from a small path next to it. There was a wooden door for co-stars to enter and exit.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the fox dog waiting by the wooden door moved its ears, got up with a "bass", and jumped into the grass.Mr. Assassin, who was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette, frowned. After taking the last puff, he put out the cigarette butt, straightened up and looked at the man who was late.

Su Shichuan came to the door holding the fox dog whose tail was about to fall off. Cang Xingyun stretched out his hand. The two shook hands briefly and tacitly, and then let go, neither of them said a word.Cang Xingyun turned around and opened the wooden door, then stepped aside, signaling Su Shichuan to advance.

The back door leads to a long hallway lined with single rooms, formerly used as dressing rooms and lounges, all now empty.In order to hide, the lights in the corridor were not turned on. Su Shichuan turned on the lighting equipment that came with the communicator to lead the way. After a while, the corridor reached the end, and the space suddenly opened up, which was the main stage of the concert hall.

The furnishings and decorations on this floor have not changed, and there is even a dusty grand piano on one side of the stage.Looking up from the performer's point of view, the whole hall is closed, the tall arched dome seems to be covered with layers of black mist, and there is no one on the densely packed seats, it seems that this theater is performing a show that no one appreciates. The absurd drama, it seems kind of indescribably weird.

At this moment, a low and hoarse piano sound came from behind, it was difficult and unpleasant, and it came from the grand piano that had been out of tune for a long time.

Su Shichuan looked back, and found that Cang Xingyun was leaning on the piano, and pressed a key when he was bored.

"What do you think?" Mr. Assassin asked.

"Very good." Su Shichuan walked to the piano, sat down on the padded stool, and let go of the fox dog, "I have worked hard for you all this time."

Seventeen jumped off the master's arms and turned into a human form, consciously standing on the other side of the piano.

Cang Xingyun said: "As for the doctor you want, I have almost done the investigation."

Su Shichuan: "Tell me about it."

After he finished speaking, Seventeen took out the optical brain and placed it on the piano, and quickly called up the monitoring screen.The optical brain screen is divided into four parts, the contents are research room, underground garage, road monitoring and private residence. The first three parts are monitoring, and the last part is snapshot.

Seventeen said: "As you said, Dr. Yunus has a regular life, and he hasn't gone out privately in the past three months. Regardless of weekdays or vacations, he will take his assistant's car to the Academy of Sciences at eight o'clock in the morning. Two hours, and at nine o'clock, the assistants will send them home, and so on."

"Besides his assistant, there will be four bodyguards by his side." Cang Xingyun said.

Seventeen switched the screen, this time it turned into a close-up of the faces of four adult men.Cang Xingyun said again: "These four people are from the military department and belong to the Mecha Marine Corps. Your dog has got a detailed resume. I have read it. It will be difficult without directly killing him."

Seventeen stared at Cang Xingyun very calmly, and said to Su Shichuan: "The problem now is that it is difficult to determine where to attack. The Central Academy of Sciences is the military center of the empire, and electronic and human security are very strict. If you attack rashly, it may cause serious damage. A massacre. As a protected core talent, Dr. Yunus lives in an area designated by the military department, and the security is not inferior to that of the Academy of Sciences. Secondly, the four bodyguards mentioned by the shark will guard 24 hours a day. The furthest away from the doctor The distance is from the bed to the bedroom door."

Su Shichuan: "..."

"Your dog" "That shark"?

The major general was dumbfounded by these two people. It seems that no one has thought about what he explained before. The ghost knows how they have cooperated in the past three months.

"We've discussed it, and we think there are two places that are relatively suitable for action." Mr. Assassin didn't care about non-human beings, and took the words graciously, without even raising his eyelids, "One is on the way back and forth, and the shortcomings are obvious. Those bodyguards They are very vigilant, no matter what method is used to force the car to stop, they will immediately enter the state of preparation, which is not good for us."

Having said that, he paused for a few seconds, puzzled and said: "Strange, even if it is an important technical personnel, is it necessary to protect it like this?"

"You may not know." Su Shichuan said, "Rex's rebellion led to the loss of a large number of talents in the empire. He was originally the first knight in front of the throne and the tutor of the crown prince. When he defected from the White Emperor Star, most of those people left with him, and the remaining part lost the trust of the military department, worrying that they were undercover agents working for Rex, so regardless of their ability, All were secretly disposed of within the past three years."

"Similarly, he also took away a large number of technicians from the Central Academy of Sciences. Those scientists are more precious than senior military officers, and they have the most cutting-edge technological achievements in their hands. As the alliance's talent plunder becomes more frequent, the White Emperor Star infiltrates different At least the agents over there, in order to prevent the loss of technical secrets, the military even issued a top-secret order."

He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them one by one: "Those bodyguards are responsible for protecting specific objects, but if there is an irreversible emergency, they will give priority to killing technicians and destroy their brains to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Hearing this, Cang Xingyun's brows tightened, and he didn't express his opinion.

Shi Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is too cruel."

"It's a measure to burn jade and rock together." Su Shichuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a fake smile, "There is no doubt that people in military uniforms are the most cold-blooded throughout the empire."

Cang Xingyun looked at Su Shichuan from top to bottom, and said with deep meaning: "Never doubt."

Su Xingchuan didn't mind being teased by the other party insinuatingly, and concluded very neatly: "So the risk of doing something halfway is not only that the bodyguards are highly vigilant, but also that the doctor may be lost. It is not worthwhile, let's talk about the second."

"A week later on the National Day, the Double Moon Palace will hold a large dinner." Cang Xingyun said, "Your dog has checked the guest list, and there will be Dr. Yunus in it. Although the security will be tight, there will be a mix of people after all. There will always be slack for bodyguards, and this is the most suitable time to strike in recent months."

Su Shichuan was noncommittal and didn't interrupt, thinking about this sensitive moment over and over again in his mind.

Cang Xingyun saw that he did not respond, so he said again: "And you will also be invited to attend, you are in the open, we are in the dark, the success rate of internal and external cooperation should be very high."

When the words were closed, everything became quiet, as if even the air was still.On a special occasion like an old theater, the silence is like a cold wave spreading, which always makes people feel flustered.

Seventeen looked down at Su Shichuan, waited for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master thinks there is a problem?"

"No, the idea is very reasonable." Su Shichuan said slowly, "But I want to know, which one of you mentioned the National Day first?"

Shi Qi was stunned, and before he had time to speak, Cang Xingyun replied bluntly: "It's me."

Su Shichuan raised his head to meet his gaze, staring at those blood-stained pupils for a moment.There was a wave of shake in his heart suddenly, and he wanted to abolish the plan, but his rationality forcibly suppressed this impulse and told him to take a look.

Finally, Su Shichuan nodded and let go, and said: "Use the second method. Seventeen followed me that night, and Xingyun figured out a way to get in. When you get to the Double Moon Hall, keep in touch at any time, and you are not allowed to act without authorization. After you find the doctor, you will be responsible." Take people away, and I'll stay until the party is over."

He got up and stood up, raising his wrist to check the communicator: "Come here first tonight, I have to go back before dawn. This week, each of you should familiarize yourself with the internal terrain of the Double Moon Hall, and then study a few evacuation routes. Give it to me. There are other people on my side, and it is inconvenient to go out for a long time, so maybe I won’t come here on purpose again.”

"Understood." Cang Xingyun said, "I'll take you out."

"No need." Su Shichuan smiled at him, and turned to Seventeen and said, "I brought you some new equipment, but I left it in the car and didn't bring it here. You go and get it from me, and it will change when the time comes." Adult birds can fly back quickly, and it’s not easy to be spotted.”

Shi Qi was eager to be taken away, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, master."

Su Shichuan thought for a while, and smiled rarely, and suggested: "You have worked hard during this time, come on, the master will hug you."

Shi Qi was overwhelmed by the flattery, and instantly felt that the three months of facing the annoying "deep-sea fish" were nothing, and immediately pretended to be a fox dog, howling and throwing himself into the arms of the owner.

Su Shichuan gently touched the fox dog's little furry head, he looked in a good mood, and looked at Cang Xingyun after a while: "You rest early, I'll be leaving first."

"Be careful." Cang Xingyun said.

Su Shichuan gave a "hmm" and said no more, leaving the old theater along the corridor where he came.

The time it took to meet this time was not too long, and it was still a few hours before dawn, Su Shichuan left in no hurry, holding the Spitz in his arms and smoothing it.Shi Qi squinted his eyes in comfort, with half of his tongue exposed, and a beast-specific "snoring" sound came out of his nasal cavity. He didn't notice at all that the smile on his master's face disappeared after he got out of the theater.

"Seventeen," Su Shichuan asked in a low voice, "Did Xingyun go out alone during the time you returned to the imperial capital?"

Hearing this, Seventeen withdrew his tongue, recalled it carefully, and said: "There have been a few times, after all, the efficiency of two people investigating together is very low, and sometimes there is more than one point to stare at, but the time apart is not long. , at most half a day."

Su Shichuan said casually: "Well, well done."

Shi Qi tilted his head, but he could still hear the absent-mindedness in the master's words, and said uncertainly: "You have something on your mind, Shi Qi can tell. Is it because you are afraid that the dinner party will not go well? Or is it because you are afraid that the doctor will have an accident? Or... Doubt Cangxing Meteor?"

"None." Su Shichuan scratched the tip of the fox dog's nose with his fingers, and comforted him with a light smile, "It's nothing, I'll know when the time comes."

Shi Qi didn't believe it at all, but he also knew that there would be no results if he questioned, so he shut up and obeyed obediently.

When he returned to the town where he parked, Su Shichuan handed the backpack to Seventeen and said, "There are several sets of communicators, hidden headsets, and dresses for the two of you to attend the dinner."

Shi Qi was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "The plan was only made tonight, why do you seem to know that you will act on the National Day?"

"Intuition." Su Shichuan said lightly, "Besides, some things are obvious. The task is entrusted to you, so I can't let it go completely, right?"

This time Shi Qi letter, said with a smile: "Master is better than that fish."

"What's your name?" Su Shichuan also smiled, "Don't always be awkward with Xingyun, keep an eye on him for me."

Shi Qi rolled his eyes unhappily, and directly changed his mimetic form in the arms of his master, turning into a black bird, flapping his wings and flying up.He flew around Su Shichuan twice, then picked up his backpack and went back.

When the blackbird was completely gone, Su Zhanchuan opened the car door and sat down in the driver's seat. He just smoked a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Straightforward connections.

At this moment, the communicator on the wrist suddenly lights up, and vibrates in the next second.

Su Shichuan flipped on the lighter and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then clicked on the light screen of the communicator to check the unread messages.

In the middle of the night, an insomniac Highness asked: [Does the teacher have any arrangements for tomorrow? 】
