Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Eyelashes drooping, Xifa fixedly looked into Su Shichuan's eyes, and whispered: "Our fate has nothing to do with anyone. You might as well thank yourself."

Hearing this, Su Shichuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "It sounds like your relationship is not very good either?"

"How should I say it?" Xifa smiled inconspicuously, with a slight hint of ridicule in his voice, "No one should take the initiative to bring up this matter, so not many people in the empire know about it, and I was also very young. When I heard it from my mother and concubine, I only found out by chance."

"Actually, she was a princess on an asteroid that was annexed by the Luo Yin Empire in the later period. After surrendering to the empire, my grandfather gave her as a tribute to the emperor in exchange for the power to continue to manage the planet. I don't know the specific origin. For some reason, in short, the father accepted the tribute from the affiliated planet, and the mother concubine also accepted the fact that she became a tribute, and they are together, but there is no love."

"My mother doesn't love my father, and my father doesn't love my mother either. As a child of these two, I have never been loved by anyone since I was a child, until I met you..." Xifa touched Su Shichuan and landed on the side of his face His hand was removed and held in the palm of his hand.

"I always ask why you treat me so well, ask if you also regard me as a mission target, suspect that you are doing things for others, and suspect that you have other purposes for approaching me, all of which are because—" He lowered his head and pressed his forehead to Su Shichuan's, "I'm serious, so I'm afraid that you will leave one day."

The tips of their noses touched lightly, and their warm breaths intertwined and lingered. Su Shichuan felt him trembling slightly: "Xifa..." He reached out to caress his back, and took the initiative to hug him into his arms, "Don't worry, I I'm not going anywhere, and I agreed to see you grow up, and I'm not willing to be absent for a day."

"You are too good at talking," Xifa relaxed, and hugged Su Shichuan back, "I will believe you again when you do it."

Su Shichuan smiled without saying a word, put his left hand on the back of his shoulder, straightened his wrist, and checked the time on the communicator: "It's getting late." Su Shichuan let go of him, "After all, you are the accompanying prince. It is still necessary to properly follow His Majesty, and it is almost dinner time, so let’s go back first.”

"What about you, not together?" Sifer said.

Su Shichuan smiled, smiling very gently, and looked at the tombstone next to him: "It's rare to come here, I want to stay a little longer." He looked at Xifa again, and added, "Alone."

Xifa nodded understandingly, remained silent for a few seconds, and then smiled suddenly: "He may have reasons for staying alone, but as long as he sees you, he will definitely love you."

"This kind of words to coax children can't coax me." Su Shichuan smiled.

"I'm not coaxing you, just telling the truth." Xifa stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of Su Shichuan's nose very affectionately, "You are so nice, even if you don't love him, you won't bore him."

After the words were closed, Xifa shook Su Shichuan's shoulder instead, and left the cemetery along the original road without further words.

Su Shichuan kept looking at his back, until it was covered by a row of cypress trees, and then slowly looked away.There are some things, as expected, the more you know, the more you feel disappointed. Xi Fagui is the little prince of the Luo Yin Empire, but he was not favored because of this, but was left in the cold after others. How did he form the character he had when we first met? ?

Su Shichuan couldn't help laughing, but after thinking about it, he felt distressed.

In his last life, he chased him for so many years, he lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, and rubbed it vigorously. Why did he have to chase him for so long?

At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded, Su Shichuan quickly collected his emotions, and his eyes became cold again.He turned around and looked at the person who came by calmly as if nothing had happened: "It turned out to be already here. There was an accident, and I haven't found time to contact you."

"At the entrance of the cemetery, I saw the 'accident' you mentioned." Feng Chen's tone was ordinary, revealing a sense of comforting familiarity. He fixed Su Shichuan for a while, then looked down at the age A long-lasting tombstone, "How does it feel?"

Su Shichuan smiled indifferently, and said frankly: "It doesn't feel like it. It's like visiting a strange senior. I know his legendary life and his great achievements, but I don't know him. What do you think? What can I feel? Sad?" Su Shichuan shook his head, "I can't feel it."

"You are so cold-blooded." Feng Chen commented objectively.

Su Shichuan raised his eyebrows slightly and gave him a suspicious look.Feng Chen thought about it carefully, and replied earnestly: "I know you have no feelings for him, and what I want to talk about is not your relationship with your father, but that you can distinguish such abstract things as feelings very finely, and give each A clear definition, not wasting time on the irrelevant, like a precision machine."

"Can I take it as a compliment?" Su Shichuan stood side by side with Feng Chen, also looking at the tombstone in front of him.

"Yes." Feng Chen laughed, "How to arrange that matter?"

Su Shichuan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it, took a puff and said indifferently: "I'm not sure when His Majesty will be alone, and I'm not sure when Xifa will come to me, it depends on the situation, you wait for my notice Bar."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement." After finishing speaking, Feng Chen was silent for a while, and finally hesitantly opened his mouth, "Why did you reveal your life experience to Xifa? Since you were young, you have always disliked mentioning that something?"

Su Shichuan looked at him sideways, but didn't speak.

Feng Chen suddenly looked into the dark eyes of the other party, as if being stabbed by some organic substance, he hastily explained: "I have no intention of eavesdropping on your conversation, but it's too quiet here, I thought about leaving temporarily, And worried that I might miss the opportunity to meet you."

"It's okay, it's all you know anyway." Su Shichuan's tone was very light, even a little casual, "People have a psychological weakness, they are easy to calm down during the listening process, and subconsciously empathize with them , and then resonated and let go of my mind. I am not unilaterally revealing my life experience to Xifa, but exchanging secrets with him."

Feng Chen suddenly realized, and had to feel that Su Shichuan was really too smart for all his tricks, how could he show his true feelings?Although it's been a while to play on the occasion, I'm afraid only he can say clearly how much truth and falsehood are in it.

"Are you hesitant?" Feng Chen came out seeing blood.

Su Shichuan said flatly: "After all, it's his father, and I'll feel uneasy if I don't ask more questions."

Feng Chen turned his head to look at him when he heard the words: "Then what if you get a completely opposite answer from the Third Highness? If they have a good relationship, what are you going to do?"

Su Shichuan met his gaze, and said calmly: "Then I will make up my conscience."

Feng Chen was noncommittal, did not speak, but thought a lot in his heart.He imagined that if he was in Su Shichuan's position, if Xisai arranged for him to attack people around Su Shichuan in the future, if there was such a day, would he hesitate?After hesitating, will you do it?

It is easy to say a word, and it is easy for them to assassinate a person. The real difficulty is to face it afterwards.

Everyone has the abstract idea of ​​"enlightenment", but how much burden enlightenment can bear varies from person to person.

Seeing that he wasn't asking questions, Su Shichuan bent down and stuck the half-smoked cigarette in front of his father's tombstone. It might have just rained in the morning, and the soil on the lawn became very soft, exuding a pleasant-smelling water vapor.Su Shichuan looked very pious, as if he really was a grave sweeper who came all the way here.

After doing this, he turned around and left the cemetery alone.

At this time, the sunset of the sun was coming to an end, and the ray of light shot out from the horizon, reflecting a sparkling wave on the surface of the lake.Su Shichuan slowed down, and finally had time to inform Xingyun of the fact that "the Third Highness is also here".

According to the plan, the two events of "assassination of the emperor" and "assassination of the emperor's mentor" must be carried out as simultaneously as possible, so as to minimize the suspicion on him, so Su Shichuan arranged for Xingyun to keep an eye on the emperor's movements at any time. , those three people are probably already in the church.

There is only one opportunity left. If the emperor cannot wait for the opportunity to be alone, then the bishop and queen can only be buried with him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Shichuan took a shower and was checking the duty report from his subordinates.At this time, there was a knock on the door, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just thought that another subordinate came to report something, so he responded casually: "Please come in."

The door was opened in response, but no one came in, so he said to Su Shichuan on the spot: "It turns out that the lieutenant general is dealing with official business, it seems that he is disturbing you."

Su Shichuan heard the other party's voice, turned his head in a hurry to make sure, and then hurriedly got up to meet him: "Why are you here, Your Majesty is busy?"

The person standing outside the door was the chief steward of the emperor. When he saw someone coming, he bowed politely to Su Shichuan and said, "Your Majesty would like to invite you to the study. I wonder if the lieutenant general is busy now."

"It's all a daily report, I can come back and read it again." Su Shichuan said, "I'll trouble you to lead the way."

The entire Guangming Cathedral presents an inverted cross shape. The chapel is located on the first floor of the main building, and behind it is the rest area and the open-air garden in the atrium.The study room mentioned by the manager is also in the main building, next to the chapel. Most of the books are religious, which are not very readable for ordinary people, but because of the excellent sound insulation effect, they are very suitable for interviews.

Su Shichuan followed behind the manager, turned his wrist to check the communicator, and saw a message from Cang Xingyun, which was roughly about the emperor in a suitable place to attack, and asked him what he meant.It was inconvenient for Su Shichuan to elaborate, so he only replied to let them get ready.

The two walked through the long corridor one after the other and came to the chapel of the Bright Cathedral.

The construction of this type of building is very particular about angles and orientations, and the placement of stained glass is often very skillful. It is necessary to ensure that the beam of light passing through the glass can be sprinkled on the statue of the main god, regardless of day or night, 24 hours without interruption.

Thousands of white wax are burning in the chapel, and the fire is automatic without wind. A beam of cold moonlight pours down through the colored window on the sloping roof in the east, and sprinkles on the loving and handsome face of the Lord God.Su Shichuan walked around from the aisle next to him, and the shadow projected on the ground was infinitely elongated by the candlelight, extending to the surface of the statue, like a ghost near a god, silent and mysterious.

The imperial guards had already been deployed in the hall, and it was clear at a glance which door would lead to the study room. Su Shichuan quietly paid attention to the structure of the entire chapel, and quickly planned the evacuation method of the three subordinates in his mind.Glancing inadvertently from the corner of the eye, Su Shichuan was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head generously to look over.

Sifa sat on the middle row of benches, leaning his elbows on the back of the chairs in the front row, interlocking his fingers, pretending to be a devout believer, but actually wagging his tail recklessly.Su Shichuan raised the corners of his mouth towards him, meaning "I see you", and the big-tailed wolf kissed the sub-joints of his fingers maliciously, and then blew lightly in his direction.

Su Shichuan calmly accepted this daring desire to go against the gods, collected his thoughts, typed blindly with his fingers, and sent a message to Feng Chen: 【Come on. 】

The general manager stopped in front of the study, and Su Shichuan stopped immediately. The soldiers of the imperial army stationed at the entrance saluted him respectfully. The general manager looked back at Su Shichuan and said with a smile: "This is it, Lieutenant General please."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Su Shichuan bowed to him, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then pushed the door away without waiting for the person inside to answer.

Andrew was sitting in an armchair behind a desk with a hardcover book a few inches thick, apparently unturned, on the table in front of him.He looked up at Su Shichuan, with a smile on his face, and said gently: "Have you visited your father?"

Su Shichuan closed the door, turned around and walked over, bent his knees and was about to salute, but was stopped by the other party.

"It's free if there are no outsiders," Andrew said lightly, "Just stand and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Shichuan said, "I went to see it in the evening."

"You look exactly like him when he was young, but I haven't seen the commander at that time, only seen the image data." Andrew smiled very familiarly, and recalled, "The Luoyin Empire was founded less than 400 years ago, and it is still very young. The battle situation of the founding of the country The influence is far-reaching, so I hope to have an equally outstanding person to protect the future of the empire."

"Cisse chose you, which shows that he has great vision. Even if he didn't choose you, you are the only candidate for the emperor's mentor in my heart."

Su Shichuan lowered his head: "Actually, Shichuan doesn't have that ability yet, it's His Highness and Your Majesty's love."

"You have, Shi Chuan, the similarity between you and your father is not limited to appearance." Andrew is like an elder, generous and kind, "I asked you to come here today because I want to give you a very important matter .It wasn’t so early in the first place, but the various accidents that happened in the past two years forced me to put it on the agenda in advance.” He paused for a while, and his expression became serious, “I don’t know if you have the impression that there is something about the National Day Dr. Yunus who disappeared that night?"

Su Shichuan was shocked in his heart, remained silent for a few seconds, and answered truthfully: "I remember."

"Six years ago, I secretly summoned Dr. Jonas and arranged for him to study a subject on the theme of 'time regression'." Andrew said, "The explanation is a bit complicated, and you can simply understand it as letting time go back to the past A certain point is used to change the future that has already happened. This subject was temporarily shelved for a year following the disappearance of Dr. Yunus. Recently, I arranged for his classmates to accept the data left by Yunus. Continue this research."

"Why does Your Majesty start this kind of project?" Su Shichuan knew how many people could hear the conversation at this time. In order not to reveal his true origin, he could only choose to be a consultant.

"Because I'm worried." Andrew said very bluntly, "I know Rex's ability very well. He is one of the people who know the Imperial Army best. I only have two princes now. Although Cisse is capable, he is not Know how to restrain ambition. Xifa is still young and has a frivolous nature. To be honest, I have never considered him."

Su Shichuan looked up at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"I'm not sure if I can live until the day when the dispute ends, so I have to prepare early and take the worst outcome into account. That's why I have the subject of 'backtracking'. I will leave the princes with a chance to fail, But I don’t plan to hand over the empire as a price. When that day comes, I believe that the subject will be researched and mature, and the person in charge of the project will formulate a perfect plan. All I can do is to select people who will carry out the plan.”

He stared at Su Shichuan: "I hope it's you."

"Minister..." The surprise in Su Shichuan's heart was not light, because by accident, he was able to witness the birth of "Hunting Project" from another angle!

This time, the person who notified him was no longer Dr. Yunus, but the emperor himself...

"If anyone can change the fate of the Luo Yin Empire, I believe that person must be you."

Su Shichuan could no longer listen to Andrew's words, and his whole brain seemed to be empty.Originally thought that it was because of his position that he had to take on the task of restoring the country, but now it seems that maybe he was born to be a back road prepared by Andrew for the Luo Yin Empire, to make up for the failure of the prince and to protect him empire.

"This task is very important." Andrew failed to notice Su Shichuan's strangeness, and looked at him sincerely. "I entrust him to you, which is equivalent to entrusting the empire to your hands."

Su Shichuan didn't rush to answer, but took a deep breath to calm down his increasingly agitated heart.He knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor, with a respectful gesture and an unusually solemn tone: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."

"Tell me." Andrew agreed.

Su Shichuan stood up, walked around the desk slowly, and stood still behind the armrest.

At that moment, Su Shichuan's deep eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, extremely cold.He supported the back of the chair with one hand, leaned close to Andrew's ear, and whispered in a voice that was only audible to each other: "Your Majesty, in fact, you are very prescient, and your worries have been fulfilled one by one after 50 years."

Andrew was startled, and subconsciously wanted to speak. Su Shichuan reacted faster than him, and directly covered the man's mouth and nose with his other hand, and pressed hard against the back of the chair.

"Quiet, Your Majesty, it's not safe here, you might be heard by others." He reminded in a low voice.

Andrew believed Su Shichuan's words, and he really calmed down, but Su Shichuan didn't let go.

"I am the one who carried out the 'hunting plan' for you. It has been three years. I was the one who hijacked Dr. Jonas because I needed his assistance. At the same time, I must avoid the possibility of the plan starting again. In the future, only Change once, and I will do my best to complete the task, so make sure that no one can use time travel again to change the future again."

Andrew squinted at Su Shichuan who was next to him, his eyes softened, as if he was relieved, but then, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and his whole person suddenly became tense.Su Shichuan felt that he was about to struggle, and increased the strength in his hand. At the same time, he shook his right wrist, and the hidden weapon slipped out of the cuff and was caught by two fingers, directly sealing the man's throat.

"Your Majesty is smart enough to realize that I am a crow so quickly." He curled his lips sarcastically, and said word by word, "I am the one who assassinated those high-ranking officials in the military department, and I am the one who targeted the Luo Yin Empire, but You don't have to worry, everything I do is still for the Luo Yin Empire, so that it won't be given another surname after 50 years, and for your Tranze family."

Andrew’s eyes were full of doubt and bewilderment.

"I have my method, as long as you follow it step by step, you can ensure that your Luoyin Empire is safe."

Shaped like the worst predator playing with prey, Su Shichuan tilted his head, his eyes were smiling, his voice was warm, but his hands were threatening.Andrew's heart fluctuated with his narration, and he dared not believe it, but he did not dare to believe it completely. He still didn't see what he was going to do. It has a bit of inexplicable evil nature.

"In the past three years, I have been living carefully every day. You have built an ivory tower, but you never thought that I would be alone and passive after I came back. I am honored to hear your entrustment and your trust with my own ears."

"Your Majesty, in this life, your part has come to an early end."

Andrew's body trembled violently, his eyes terrified.

Su Xingchuan looked at him sympathetically, and said: "But you have to remember that your life was taken because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't wait to take the seat of the Stars, and I just followed his plan according to the plan." He bowed With a low smile, "The one who killed you was the successor you personally selected, the same in the two lifetimes."

The voice fell, and the two fingers sealed between the throats were decisively pressed down.The sharp edge of the hidden weapon cut through the flesh and pierced into the artery.

Su Shichuan straightened his body, raised his arms to the side, and the blood flowed out with inertia, splashing on the bookshelf next to him, while his other hand was still covering the opponent's face, and the whole set of movements was done in one go.

After a few seconds, a thin red wound appeared on the front of the neck, and the next moment blood spurted out!Andrew's body convulsed and pulled out, his sealed mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound.

At the same time, the only stained glass window in the study exploded from the outside. Wearing a dark combat uniform with a deep hood, Feng Chen, who was covering his face with a mask, broke in through the window.

"Why did you do it yourself?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knocking sound outside the door.Immediately after the commotion came, the door of the study was knocked, and a forbidden soldier said anxiously: "Commander, there are assassins!"

Feng Chen looked at Su Shichuan for the first time, and suddenly realized something: "The Nameless? Their goal is——"

At this moment, a figure in black came into the window again. The visitor hesitated for a second, then decisively drew out his lightsaber, rubbed his body closer, and blatantly shot at Su Shichuan.
