Hunting Game [Interstellar]

At 45:[-] p.m., the capital of Baidi Star is brightly lit.

On the central axis, a wide and straight corridor divides the entire core area into two, reaching the double-moon hall of the moon-white palace at the end.This is the area with the strictest security in the Luo Yin Empire. The four city gates are guarded by imperial guards. The seemingly empty sky is actually covered with a spherical particle shield, ensuring that even birds cannot get close to it.

A suspension vehicle stopped in front of the north gate of the imperial city, and the guards in charge of it quickly stepped forward to check.Because it is located directly behind the Hall of Two Moons, this is the most remote entrance, except for internal personnel, it is rarely used by visitors.

The guard knew that there was a routine dinner tonight, so he couldn't help but feel strange. He stopped outside the door on the driver's side, and couldn't help but be a little curious about who came—or they were very low-key guests who didn't want to have too much contact with other people ; or it is a complete newcomer, who has no idea that this north gate is for servants to use.

But as the car window was lowered, he could see the appearance of the person inside, he was startled immediately, and blurted out: "Major General Su, why is it you?"

Su Shichuan smiled at him very politely, handed over the electronic invitation, and said, "It's me, and the way here happens to be near here, so I won't go around and go to other doors."

"So that's how it is." The guard hurriedly accepted the invitation without checking it. He bowed respectfully to Su Xingchuan, got up and waved for his companion to open the door, and then said, "The dinner is about to begin, I wish you Have a great night!"

Su Shichuan smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." After speaking, he raised the window and drove the hover car into the north gate.

The back area of ​​the imperial city was very dark, and there was silence all around, and I didn't meet a second visitor all the way in.

Su Shichuan found a secluded place and parked the car. After getting out of the car, he didn't hurry to the banquet hall. Instead, he lit a cigarette, took a slow breath, and then exhaled the smoke.

"It's obviously not on the way at all," Shi Qi's voice sounded, "Why doesn't the master go through the main entrance? Are you afraid of meeting someone?"

Hearing this, Su Shichuan bent his mouth for no reason, stretched out his free hand to touch the silver nail imitated by the intelligent body on the right earlobe, and said lightly: "Seventeen, do you know where the main entrance will pass? ?”

"It's in the database," Seventeen replied, "I'll check it out."

"No need," Su Shichuan said, "It's Lingjiu Square."

"What happened to the square?" Shi Qi was puzzled.

"There are a lot of fluorescent ores there, and the night view is beautiful." Su Zhanchuan snuffed out his cigarette butt, and walked slowly towards the Double Moon Hall, "So I will meet a lot of people, and I find it noisy."

Seventeen said: "Master, when you were in the military academy, you should have good grades in behavioral psychology, right?"

Su Shichuan thought for a while, and replied: "It seems to be a perfect score, what's wrong?"

"Then the subjects related to artificial intelligence are bad?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the combined analysis of my core processing system tells me 'you're lying,' which I couldn't have just visually observed."

"..." Su Shichuan was almost laughed at by him, but he still kept his face cold and said seriously, "If you dare to analyze your master casually, believe it or not, I will force you to sleep?"

Little Silver Nail trembled instantly, fearing that the phone would be shut down, so he obediently muted his voice.

Shuangyue Hall is the main palace of the Baidixing royal family, and it is a large classical style building complex.

The banquet hall where the dinner is held this time is located on the top floor of a side hall. The dome is closed, but holographic imaging technology is used to simulate the vast Milky Way star sea. In the sound of beautiful music, silver-white star sand is sprinkled down, making the whole venue look Without the extravagance of the royal family, it has a bit more noble and elegant taste.

Tonight's royal dinner is not formal, at best it can only be regarded as a small gathering among the top officials of the empire, but the guests invited to attend are without exception possessing beautiful titles, or military ranks above the general level.Such an event will be held every one or two months, led in the name of the royal family, the main purpose is to give the high-level people a chance to walk around each other, and at the same time, it is convenient for the heirs of the nobles and the newly appointed officers to get acquainted. Great platform for opening relationships.

The Luo Yin Empire has been founded by war for nearly 400 years. It looks peaceful on the surface, but the internal faction divisions have already become very serious.

The main combat faction headed by the military department is not satisfied with the status quo of the empire, and has been advocating the expansion of the galaxy for a long time.The conservatives headed by the church are more inclined to improve order. They think that the military department's approach is too rude. In peacetime, soldiers should not continue to occupy such a high social status, let alone intervene in the royal family's decision-making.

However, this stalemate between the two sides was suddenly broken three years ago - the original first-in-line heir, the eldest prince Lemon Tranze, was assassinated and killed, and the old emperor's physical condition deteriorated rapidly after suffering a blow.

For a moment, the Luo Yin Empire was powerless, and everyone was silently guessing who was that desperate assassin hired?However, just three months later, Rex, the number one knight in the empire, raised his troops to treason, fled the White Emperor Star with his old troops, formed a free alliance, and pointed his sword at the Luo Yin Empire.

It is precisely because of this opportunity that when peace is absent and military power rises again, the cracks that have formed have not been healed because of the threat of war, but the dark tide has surged.

After entering the door, Su Xingchuan took a low-strength champagne from the waiter, and then stood in the corner of the banquet hall very low-key, while absent-mindedly sipping wine, while quietly paying attention to the guests present.

In the previous life, although Su Shichuan had been awarded the rank of major general at a young age, in the final analysis, he was only in the glory of his family.People are obviously more willing to believe that the reason why Su Shichuan was able to rise to the top is entirely because of the emperor's memory of the founding commander, so there are many colleagues in the army who are not in harmony with him, and there is naturally some insinuating ridicule behind the scenes.

It took quite a long time for these gossip and rumors to gradually dissipate with the accumulation of achievements and meritorious service.

However, now, Su Shichuan is very satisfied with the current situation - he is a newcomer in the military, although he is a major general, he has not yet made his mark. Contempt comes—it happens to be a time when there is some power, but it will not attract attention, and it is convenient to do anything.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed since the dinner began.

During this period, Su Xingchuan neither took the initiative to chat with anyone, nor was anyone accosted, and from the beginning to the end, he drank quietly by himself, like a stranger.

Shi Qi didn't dare to probe his master's brain waves easily, so he had to observe his expression silently, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he said cautiously: "What are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if there is anyone who is worth using among the people who came tonight." Su Shichuan said lightly.

Hearing this, Shi Qi had an idea and hurriedly asked, "You have a plan so soon?"

"That's not true." Su Shichuan lowered his head and sipped his wine, but raised his eyelashes tremblingly, his eyes carefully scrutinized everyone in his field of vision, "You also know that the final battle that destroyed the Luo Yin Empire took place. Fifty years later, and even in this timeline, Rex is treasonous, and the fact that the Alliance exists is beyond my power to change."

"——The decisive war is inevitable, but I can't wait 50 years in vain. The 'hunting plan' gives me a lot of time, but it is also very little."

Shi Qi was startled, and said in surprise: "You want to catalyze the outbreak of war, so that the empire and the alliance can make a decision in advance?"

"I have this idea," Su Shichuan said, "but I have to wait until I am fully sure."

Seventeen gave a thoughtful "Oh" and said, "The master is right, you must ensure the victory of the empire."

"No." Su Shichuan corrected, "What I want to ensure is the victory of the Third Highness. Otherwise, even if the time is advanced, but history repeats itself, then what's the point of my coming back this time?"

"Speaking of the Third Highness..." Shi Qi glanced at the master uncertainly, "You said you met him here, but... what about others?"

After he finished speaking, Su Shichuan silently sneered, swaying the wine in the crystal glass lightly with his wrist, and wrote lightly: "Our Third Highness didn't behave like a prince when he was young, and he made a group of cronies. I can't get into the elegant hall, I'm probably drinking in some side hall."

"That's it...then do you want to look for it?"

"Need not."

"why?"

Su Shichuan calmly said: "Because friends can drink, but it's inconvenient to do other things."

"Other?" Little Silver Nail twitched and asked suspiciously, "Master, although it is an advanced intelligent body, it has not been able to interpret the language information with too deep meaning because it has just been activated. Do you mind changing it to something simpler?" way of expression?"

"Yes." After finishing speaking, the major general took a sip of his wine solemnly, and said quietly, "Your Highness, that bastard is a flirt, likes to flirt with women. After drinking enough with those second generation ancestors, he will naturally come back to the dinner in a well-dressed manner."

Seventeen's voice trembled: "Come... what are you here for?"

"Of course it's Lie Yan." The major general smiled meaningfully, "The old saying of warming up and thinking about lust can't be more appropriate for His Highness."

Seventeen: "..."

As a simple intelligent body, Shi Qi couldn't understand his master very much.

"Why do you seem to dislike him so much?" Shi Qi pondered weakly, "Could it be...you are the Yan who was hunted down by His Royal Highness?"

Su Shichuan: "..."

Is this still an intelligent body?It's too blind to see!The major general who was poked in the sore spot breathed a sigh of relief, and placed the goblet on the marble window sill, making a sound full of anger.

Shi Qi trembled in fright, and consciously hibernated himself without the master saying a word.

At this moment, the waiters at the venue received orders from the communicator one after another, quickly walked past the talking guests, and went straight to the main entrance of the banquet hall.At the same time, the long-closed door was opened from the outside, and the belated waiters hurriedly lined up and stood on both sides, bowing respectfully towards the visitor.

At the same time, Su Shichuan, who was standing alone in front of the window, looked back as if feeling something, and through the starry sand and night, he saw the man in fine clothes with a slightly drunk face appearing at the door. Before—the kind of past and present life, the destiny that seems to be written to death by the gods is like a lightning bolt, directly smashing into the body, destroying the soft soul buried deep in it.

From the interruption of the last communication to this moment, he never imagined, nor did he dare to imagine——

What kind of mood will he face when they meet again?

This glance is separated by two lifetimes, the stars and the sea that have been artificially torn apart for 50 years.

At that moment, the brilliance of the Milky Way gathered in one place, making the man's snow-white dress holy and bright.Su Shichuan watched him walk into the banquet hall moment by moment, his body trembling uncontrollably, and an indescribable complex emotion gradually filled his heart. It was the first time in his past and present life that he realized so clearly what is called "Lost and found".

——You left your last words, asking me to be less indifferent to you in this life.

——So, when we meet again, do you want me to stand in the crowd, or this time, let me take the initiative to walk by your side?

Su Shichuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but before he could take a step, the Third Highness at the other end of the hall raised his head without warning.

Eyes met, and they met again, as before.
