Hunting Game [Interstellar]

The placement of deep infiltration agents is no small matter. It is not because there is a demand on the front line that the intelligence department can immediately select the best candidates.

The infiltration work itself is like a set of procedures with precise algorithms. It takes a long time to build and adjust, and it is possible to achieve silent perfection.The cycle from cultivation to release often lasts for several years or even decades, and this is only the preliminary preparation stage.

In contrast, an agent who performs an infiltration task must be flexible and thoughtful, and most importantly, he must have good enough adaptability.Because once deep inside the enemy, in an isolated and helpless environment, everything around will become the object of careful attention, even if it is only the most insignificant disturbance, it is also required that the agent can predict the coming gust of wind from a slight change in wind direction rainstorm.

What's more, what Lelia needs is a senior agent who can go deep into the alliance's high-level, get close to their core members, and complete the assassination of the alliance's supreme leader Rex.Right now, one person has just been exposed, and it is impossible for the target person to relax their vigilance in a short period of time. At this time, it is almost impossible for the intelligence department to send a successor.

Su Shichuan knew it in his heart, but he didn't point it out.

He knew that he didn't have too much right to speak on this occasion. The reason why Cisse asked him to accompany him was probably to introduce him to the high-level officials of the empire he could get in touch with, so that the name "Su Shichuan" would no longer be used. In obscurity, when the time is ripe enough, the canonization ceremony of the tutor of the emperor can be put on the agenda.

If you don't consider the ending of the previous life, and don't consider the real intention of Xi Sai's move, this "grace of knowing you" alone is enough for Su Shichuan to be loyal to him for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that the people who are relied on by Cisse are not qualified to stand behind him, but are trampled under his feet, becoming the blood and bones that build the road for him, but they don't know it.

Later, Lelia separately reported the defense and capture plans of the distant galaxy in the next few years. The Luo Yin Empire cannot be plundered by the alliance for [-] planets, and it is impossible for the two sides to coexist peacefully in the same galaxy. The traitors need to Liquidated, there is no doubt about it.

Cisse listened very carefully, commenting a few words from time to time, or intentionally asking Su Shichuan to give him a chance to express his opinion.Thanks to this move, Lei Liya's attitude towards Su Shichuan gradually eased, because she noticed that although the qualifications and experience of the future emperor's tutor were not good enough, his ideas were very sophisticated, and he was not simply showing off theoretical knowledge. Quite a few of his suggestions can be adopted and implemented.

Before they knew it, it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them talked for more than two hours about the frontline warfare.

Su Shichuan picked up his teacup and took a sip of water. Since the "hunting plan" was launched, his heart has never been so relaxed as it is now.Although the content of the discussion is quite troublesome, it is his specialty after all. As the commander-in-chief of the empire, he is good at military overall planning. On the contrary, the busy content of these past few months is relatively unfamiliar to him.

When the business came to an end, Cisse opened his cuffs to check the communicator, and said, "That's all for today, I have to go to Father Emperor's place later, and tell him what we discussed just now." He looked up at Lei Liya smiled gently, "You can leave first if you have something to do."

"His Royal Highness, please wait a moment." Lelia's thin face was still serious, but there was a hint of something else in her attitude.

Sissey looked at her sideways and smiled without saying a word, waiting patiently for her to speak.Lelia said again: "This time, this subordinate came back from a distant galaxy. On the way, he stopped at Youming, a subsidiary star of the Luo Yin Empire. The person in charge of the garrison there presented a rare gadget. I don't remember His Highness's collection. , so I brought it back."

After finishing speaking, she pressed the communicator and ordered: "Nick, send the witch in."

After the voice fell, the door of the reception room was knocked, and then it was opened from the outside.The officer who had been waiting for a long time strode into the door. After standing still, he bowed to the three of them one by one and saluted. Then he took an armchair and placed it at a position facing Cisse far away. He bent down and put the things in his arms on the soft Finally, he lifted off the heavy hood of the fox fur cloak.

After seeing the contents clearly, Cisse couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and finally showed some interest on his face.

Wrapped in the cloak is a little girl in human form, who is only six or seven years old by visual inspection, and is very thin.The little girl's appearance can be regarded as pretty, her eyes are blue and clear, her eyelashes and hair are very rare white, and her skin also seems to lack melanin, but this whiteness does not give people a beautiful and delicate feeling, but reveals A weak and sickly state, like a seedling that may break at any time, cannot withstand a little bump.

But the most special thing is the girl's attitude, usually children of this age are a little bit afraid of others, but she has no response of promise or panic at all.The child's expression was calm and calm, looking too old, with an extremely obvious sense of incongruity with his visual age.

She just curled up in the fox fur cloak, staring at Sisai in front of her for a moment, then at Su Shichuan next to her after a while, and then she showed the only expression so far, which seemed to be called "" surprised".

Su Shichuan noticed this detail, turned his head slightly, and smiled at the little girl.

"She is a witch from Nether Star. She just gave birth to a human form, but she is not a life form in essence." Lelia spoke at the right time, explaining, "The Nether Star people have long maintained the custom of deep pool water burial. It is believed that the rigor rigidity produced after death will imprison the soul in the body, and only the process of continuous sinking can free the soul again."

"The 'Witch' was born in a deep pool used for water burials. Legend has it that she was formed from the gathering of tens of thousands of lost souls." After she finished speaking, she looked at Cisse with great confidence, as if Liao had promised this future The king would be satisfied with this special tribute.

However, Cisse just smiled and said, "Sounds like an ominous product?"

Hearing this, the smile on Leilia's face froze for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, she smiled as if nothing had happened, "Your Highness doesn't know, although the birthplace of the Nether Star Witch is ominous, but she He has the ability to foresee the future."

"Really?" Cisse looked down at the little guy not far away, and asked after being silent for a while, "Then help me predict the development of the Luoyin Empire in 100 years."

After he finished speaking, the little witch finally turned her eyes away from Su Xingchuan and turned her head to look at Xi Sai.She took one look, then hurriedly lowered her head, curling her fingers at the front straps of her dress like an autistic child, without predicting.

Seeing this, Leilia cleared her throat, and ordered her subordinates: "Let her speak."

Nick nodded knowingly, stretched out his hand to pinch the little witch's chin, forced her to look up at Cisse, and said coldly: "Our Highness is asking you about the development of the empire, tell me!"

The little witch was as thin as a weightless cat, her slender chin was tightened by the man's five fingers like iron clamps.

Su Shichuan quietly watched this boring atrocity, without any doubt that as long as the soldier exerted another force, the little girl's mandible could be crushed directly.

"Your Excellency Leilia," he looked up at the woman opposite, "no matter how the witch was born, she looks young, maybe she doesn't have the ability to distinguish, and she may not understand our language. I think even if you Someone pried her mouth open, and if she didn't want to say it, she probably wouldn't be able to say a word."

Lelia gave Su Shichuan a sideways glance, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there any other way for Major General Su to let her make a prophecy for His Highness?"

Su Shichuan smiled modestly, and before he could speak, he heard a thin voice saying: "The witch's prophecy cannot involve fate, otherwise, once the fate of the prophet changes, the witch who made the prophecy will be punished." To backlash, to bear the punishment of fate on behalf of that person."

Su Shichuan looked at the little girl in the armchair, and noticed that although Nick forced her to face Cisse, her eyes fell on him.

Her voice is very soft, with a sense of fatigue that is difficult to breathe, and she can't speak clearly because her jaw is clamped, but the logic is coherent and complete, which shows that her actual age should be far more than what she seems on the surface , maybe already an adult, maybe...

Su Shichuan thought calmly.

Cisse raised his hand to signal Nixon to let go of the little witch, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he wrote lightly: "What's the point of a prophet who can't predict fate? Do I need you to tell me whether tomorrow's weather will be cloudy or sunny? "

"It's not that I can't predict fate," the little witch rubbed her chin and corrected every word, "It's that no one will know that there is something wrong with fate and not change it, but if you change it, I will be finished."

West Circuit: "What you mean is that the fate of the Luo Yin Empire will be bad in a hundred years?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three present were stunned at the same time.

Su Shichuan himself didn't believe that anyone could predict the future, so he didn't take this little girl seriously, and naturally he didn't think too much about what he said to her.But the message that Cisse pointed out is very subtle, because if things develop according to the normal trajectory, the Luo Yin Empire will usher in the end of the war with the Alliance in 50 years.

Although he failed to see the result of the war, it was self-evident what the result would be. In this way, how could there be the Luo Yin Empire a hundred years later?

On the other side, Lei Liya's expression darkened immediately after a brief surprise, she gave the little girl a hard look, then turned to Xi Saidao: "His Royal Highness, don't listen to that witch's nonsense, the Luoyin Empire is powerful, Thousands of years later, you can still stand in the same galaxy, so how can you have a bad fate? This beast is just inhumane, and doesn’t want to make predictions for you.”

Cisse looked sideways at her with a smile, Lelia paused, and continued: "This matter is due to my negligence of duty. I heard that witches are rare and rarely seen in a hundred years, so I wanted to bring them back for His Highness to expand his collection. Now it seems that this ominous thing should be executed at that time, lest she talk nonsense and pollute His Highness's ears again."

"Come here," Lelia announced loudly, "Take this—"

"Wait a minute." Cisse interrupted her and reminded, "This is the palace of the crown prince. Are you planning to execute the witch on the spot, or are you planning to issue an order of execution in front of me?"

Lelia was stunned.

"It's all delivered, so let's stay, but since she can't speak human words, then just let her shut up forever." Sissy smiled generously, and raised the phone in his hand to Leilia. Teacup, "Thank you for the gift you brought back from afar. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

Lelia was noncommittal, stood up and saluted Cisse, and then left the living room with her subordinates.

After the door was closed again, Cisse took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, looked up again, his eyes were on the witch who was facing him, and said calmly: "Shi Chuan, what do you think of this person? I want to be honest. "

Su Shichuan quickly sorted out a set of arguments in his mind, and replied: "His Excellency Lelia's strength is beyond doubt, and it is not difficult to see that she is from the old empire's department who intends to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think it can be used."

"She only has so many advantages." Sissy hooked the corners of his lips casually, "This person has a combat power, but he doesn't have the wisdom to match it. Originally guarding outside can not only defend the empire's defense line in distant galaxies, but also protect the empire." You don't need to appear in front of me to be an eyesore, but the emperor was still worried about the assassination on the night of National Day, so he dispatched her back to temporarily take charge of the security work of the imperial capital."

"Aren't you leaving in the future?" Su Shichuan asked.

"No." Cisse said, "After all, the alliance is the most important thing. When the father is at ease, I will still find a way to transfer her out."

Su Shichuan could tell that Cisse didn't like this Lelia. She didn't move because she was a fairly loyal dog, and she also had the role of guarding the house. But when can she stay, how long will she be? It's hard to say.

At this time, Xisai got up and straightened the folds that did not exist on the collar. Su Shichuan stood up, and Xisai said with a smile: "In the future, I may often invite you to attend such a less formal meeting, let you meet People, let others see you too."

Su Shichuan nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness is bothering you."

Cisse smiled lightly and shook his head, walked slowly to Su Xingchuan, put his hand on his shoulder, and shook his hand very familiarly: "The person Feng Chen recommended to me is really good, those old men from the Intelligence Department Things are too blind. But since you are from special tactics, how about professional ability?"

Su Shichuan's heart skipped a beat, he wasn't sure if Cisse was trying to test it out, or if he really had an arrangement.He didn't answer directly, but detoured a bit and said, "It depends on His Highness's needs."

Cisse was very satisfied with this answer, but he did not continue the topic. He pointed to the witch who had been watching the two of them in the armchair, and said, "Help me deal with it." After speaking, he bypassed Su Shichuan, He walked away without looking back.

For a moment, the entire living room fell silent.

It is conceivable what the phrase "deal with" means. Su Shichuan glanced down at the powerless Nether Star Witch, thinking to himself, Xisai is also a hater. He looked at Lelia. It's not pleasing to the eye, and it's also not pleasing to see her bring tributes to please him, but it's a pity for this little girl.

This idea turned around in his mind, but after thinking about it, Su Shichuan himself is not a person full of sympathy.For him, the most important thing right now is to gain the trust of Cisse as soon as possible, and to truly complete some shady work for him, instead of accompanying the guests as he is now, or disposing of things he doesn't like.

Thinking of this, Su Shichuan walked around the coffee table and came to the armchair. The little witch looked at him all the way, and finally had to lift her neck with great effort, blinking her baby blue eyes.Su Shichuan noticed that the little guy looked at him very frequently, and he didn't know what she was looking at, but simply felt uncomfortable being stared at by those eyes.

He stretched out his hand to lift the hood of the cloak to cover his little head, at this moment, a cold hand came out from under the hood, gently holding his index finger.

That hand was very cold, if it wasn't for the soft touch, Su Shichuan even suspected that the little guy in front of him was a corpse that had already cooled down.

"My name is Pei Li," a thin voice came from under the hood. At the same time, Su Shichuan felt the little hand clasping his fingers beseechingly shook, "Can you not deal with me?"

Su Shichuan slowly raised the corners of his mouth, but looked at her coldly: "I don't have this authority." After saying this, he was silent for more than a minute, "Unless you can prove that you are worthy of being left behind , and that value is worth my risk for you."

The drooping hood moved, and Su Shichuan knew that Perry was looking up at her, so he helped her lift up the hood so as not to be blocked by the edge of the hood.

The eyes of the two met, and Perry said seriously: "I can give you three chances to prophesy, as long as it does not violate the principles I mentioned before."

"But I think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said makes sense," Su Shichuan said, "A prophet who can only predict one's fate is a fast-moving product, and it doesn't make much sense."

Perry noticed that his words had changed, and she couldn't help frowning her two thin white eyebrows. She suddenly felt that the man smiling at him in front of her was more terrifying than the woman who brought her here.

"Would you like to try it once," Perry suggested in a low voice, "and then make a decision?"

"Okay." Su Shichuan knelt down on one knee in front of her, so that the gap between the eyes of each other was not so big, and said with a smile, "Just me, you can predict whatever you want, and then choose what you can say, and I will tell you what to say." Will judge whether it is useful or not."

Su Shichuan felt that this condition was relatively loose, but unexpectedly, the little guy in front of him suddenly tightened his brows.

"Your destiny has changed," Perry said. "Your soul doesn't belong here. Your soul comes from the future. Who are you?"

Su Shichuan opened his eyes slightly, he was finally interested in this little guy.

At 10:30 p.m., the outer suburbs of the imperial capital, the old opera house.

Su Shichuan put a full-face metal mask on his face, and carried Pai Li through the long grass in the backyard.

With one arm around his neck, Pai Li opened the edge of the hood with the other hand to look outside, and finally said weakly: "Are you going to finish me here, Mr. Crow?"

Su Shichuan pressed down the hood to cover the little guy's face, and said lightly, "You don't need to run so far."

Pai Li let out an "oh", and after two seconds of silence, she asked again: "Then will you still get rid of me?"

"Lelia said that you are not a living body, but a gathering of the souls of the dead," Su Shichuan said with a half-smile, "Why are you afraid of death?"

Peli said softly: "Because I can see the death of others," she stared into Su Shichuan's eyes, "Some are very calm, some are very painful, I think that kind of feeling is not good, so I am afraid, but I don't know What it will be like when I die."

"You can see me too?" Su Shichuan said.

Peli nodded, and said obediently: "Not bad, you looked good when you died."

Su Shichuan smiled and said nothing, found the back door of the theater, pushed it open and walked in quickly.

There is still no lighting equipment installed on the first floor of the opera house, which is exactly the same as the last time I came.Su Shichuan turned on the luminaire that came with the communicator and walked through the long corridor. This time he did not go up to the stage, but turned to the back along another fork, and entered the underground through a staircase hidden under the stage. second floor.

There is also a huge performance hall and several lounges below. Unlike the dilapidated first floor, this place has been renovated. The floor, walls and ceiling are covered with pure white special soundproof materials, making it look transparent and bright.Su Shichuan found the meeting room mentioned by Shiqi, pushed the door open and walked in.

The two people in the room had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Su Shichuan coming, Cang Xingyun, who had been leaning against the wall, stood up straight, looked towards Su Shichuan, and did not speak.Shi Qi stood up and went forward, took the fox-fur cloak from his arms, was shocked when he found it was a living thing, and quickly put her on a single sofa nearby.

Peli got out of the cloak by herself, blinked her big eyes and stared at others, and after a moment of silence, she said, "You are not human."

Seventeen: "..."

Shi Qi looked back at Su Shichuan with horror on his face, and said, "Master, is this... your illegitimate daughter?"

Su Shichuan: "..."

Su Xingchuan was dumbfounded by this misunderstanding, took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, explaining: "She is a witch from Nether Star, and she was originally a tribute to Cisse, but Cisse didn't want it, and this little guy doesn't want to die. I brought it here." He turned around and sat down on the sofa, looked up at Cang Xingyun, only to find that the reason why Cang Xingyun did not sit down was because a very thin chain was wrapped around his left ankle, and the other end of the chain was fixed On a metal post in the corner of the conference room.

"What's the situation?" Su Shichuan said.

Cang Xingyun couldn't see any expression on his face, and wrote lightly: "Ask your dog."

Su Shichuan looked at Shiqi, who was pouring tea, and an invisible hair tail behind him shook: "At the National Day dinner, you repeatedly prohibited unauthorized actions, but this shark still contacted the assassins in private. Those who caused you so much trouble." Seventeen teacups held Su Shichuan, and finally gave Cang Xingyun a disgusted look, "I can't trust him, so I locked it when I came back."

"Locked here all this time?" Su Shichuan raised his eyebrows, "Xingyun has to be active..."

"Activity," Cang Xingyun replied, "Your dog doesn't want me out of his sight, so the other side of the chain is usually tied to his wrist, and I can't untie it even in the shower, forcibly depriving me of my privacy. "

Shi Qi became angry instantly: "Do you think I really want to see you take a bath?!"

Mr. Assassin looked indifferent: "I don't know if I want to watch it or not, anyway, I've been watching it for so many days."

Su Shichuan: "..."

Peli looked up at the two people who were fighting, moved back and silently exited the battlefield, crawled along the sofa to the side of Su Shichuan, and curled up next to him.Su Shichuan reached out to cover the top of her hair, and stroked it soothingly: "What did you see again?"

"One of them has killed a lot of people, and the other one is not human." Peli turned her head to look at Su Shichuan, and asked timidly, "What do you do, and why are your subordinates so strange?"

"You can see the fate of the empire, but you can't tell Xisai because it has a turning point." Su Shichuan smiled and his eyes rolled up. "I am the one who wants to change the fate of the empire."

Pei Li frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I am." Su Shichuan said, "What's the problem?"

Peli said softly: "After 100 years, the person who will sit on the White Emperor Star's throne will be the leader of the alliance."
