Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Studies have shown that the brain activity of people who are engaged in the secret service profession is higher than that of ordinary people, because they are always choosing between gains and losses and weighing pros and cons.The emergence of a question is enough to make them think twice. Faced with a fork in the road and a choice, they will even consider what may happen at the end of the road and the result of the choice.

Su Shichuan's mind was in a mess, and whether to admit it seemed to be a matter of one thought, but his rationality was torn to the limit.

Undoubtedly, long-term professional habits have determined that he is a person who has the ability to tell lies enough to be true, but at the same time he is also a mortal, with seven emotions and six desires and a deeply buried and suppressed sincerity.

Regardless of whether Xifa's statement was an outpouring of true feelings or a warm card played to numb him, at this moment, Su Shichuan admitted that it worked.His breath was trembling, his conscience was disturbed, he felt disappointed and at a loss, and he didn't know whether to say the phrase "I am".

For 13 years, in order to complete the "hunting plan", Su Shichuan put on layers of camouflage and became an invulnerable multi-agent like a textbook.Now the retribution came, those identities weighed tens of thousands of catties on his shoulders, and it was because of his indomitable determination to move forward that he was forced to waver that shouldn't have happened.

But sometimes trust is so fragile, even if the other party has said "I promise" and "I love you", professional habits make him have to keep an absolutely sober doubt after being moved.

Thinking of this, Su Shichuan stroked the back of Shang Xifa's head with his hands, and inserted his five fingers into his hair. He could hardly control the trembling between his fingers, so he could only cover it up with gentle strokes.

"I wish you beat me half to death in the torture chamber before asking this question."

Eyelashes drooping, Su Shichuan smiled helplessly: "In this way, I can still lie to you with peace of mind, and can say 'I am not' without the burden." He took a light breath to adjust the vibrato that was getting out of control, "Agent Qianmian, it's not something I can choose, forgive me..."

The ending was like a sigh, each word nailed to the apex of his heart, and Xifa looked at the glass curtain wall facing him - the transparent surface of the wall was so radiant that it reflected Su Shichuan's back and his face with blurred features.He suddenly felt that it was reality, this person was obviously held in his arms, but he never could see it clearly.

There seems to be such a wall between them, and they always look at people in the mirror, seeing them as if they are not.If he didn't know that that person was Su Shichuan, the mirror would have been shattered long ago, how could he talk about it calmly after the love?

In the final analysis, what he had worked so hard to get was nothing more than a sentence of truth.

Finally, Xifa withdrew his gaze, folded himself into the armchair, lit a cigarette sullenly, and said indifferently: "You didn't apologize to me, and you don't need my forgiveness."

Su Shichuan still maintained the movement of raising his arms, and closed his fingers indistinctly as if lost.He hesitated for a while, and finally walked in front of Xifa. Before he could make a move, the other party grabbed his wrist first, pulled him into his arms, and forced him to sit sideways on his lap.

"I'm not angry, don't think about how to coax me." Xifa said.

Su Shichuan was startled when he heard the words, and then laughed dumbly: "You don't even think about what I do. I can tell what emotions you have in your heart." Long hair, carefully pinned behind the ear, "The nature of this matter is quite serious, and it is true that I deliberately concealed it from you."

"Reluctance." Sifer leaned against the back of the armchair, and his free hand moved down to the hem of the opponent's shirt, and squeezed his bare buttocks.

Su Shichuan raised his eyebrows, and Xifa said solemnly: "I waited for ten years to wait for you, I don't dare to be emotional casually, if I accidentally make you angry, where can I find someone?"

"Am I such an emotional person?" Su Shichuan asked back.

"You are not emotional, you are too principled." Exhaling the smoke, Xifa looked at him seriously, "So I have no doubt at all, when the two-way plan is completed, you will definitely leave here without hesitation. Wherever you go, you just don’t care about me.”

Su Shichuan: "..."

Su Shichuan had no way to refute, and was a little dumbfounded immediately.After being quiet for a long time, he spoke again, his voice softened, but he was serious like never before: "Okay, I admit it, so you don't have to go around in circles anymore, confirming your identity is just the beginning, and you don't need to hide your follow-up questions." Come on, just ask."

Hearing this, Xifa's eyes couldn't help but darken, and that dishonest hand also stopped, and turned around Su Shichuan's waist.

After the initial conflict, confessing the identity of the "crow" was like unloading a burden, and Su Shichuan felt a lot more relaxed.Seeing that Xifa was silent, he did not rush to speak, but accompanied him patiently, giving him enough time to digest all kinds of suspicions and scruples in the past ten years.

I don't know how long it took, when the cigarette was finished, Xifa casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with the sole of his shoe, saying: "I don't understand why you choose to become a 'crow' given your status in the empire? What does it give you? Are you dissatisfied? Is it because of your background, or is there some other reason I don't know?"

"Because Cisse is not suitable to be the emperor of the Luo Yin Empire," Su Shichuan replied bluntly, "I want you to sit in the position of the glory of the stars."

Xifa looked at him in disbelief: "You are very strange, you are completely different from the general traitors. I am sure that even Rex has the ambition to be the emperor in his heart, but you only want to push me to that position , why not yourself?"

"At the National Day dinner 13 years ago, 'The Crow' appeared for the first time. At that time, I had nothing but the title of the third prince. How can you be sure that I have the ability to become the future emperor? How can you put such a The important bet is on me? You are not afraid that I will live up to your expectations and become more than Cisse—"

"You won't." Su Shichuan interrupted him, "I'm sure of that."

"Why?" Xifa was very puzzled.

Su Shichuan: "Because I am your teacher and you are my student, I know you better than yourself!"

Sifa was stunned, and suddenly realized a crucial point: "Could it be that... your plan started when we first met?"

"It can be said that." Su Shichuan smiled, "But I didn't deliberately create a chance encounter, I just took advantage of our fate."

"What does this sentence mean?" Xifa couldn't help asking.

"You will always know." Su Shichuan said.

The voice fell, and the communicator suddenly vibrated.

Xifa originally wanted to say more, but now he glanced at the ID of the voice application, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's Brant, there should be news from Rex."

"You pick it up first." Saying that, Su Shichuan was about to get up.

Sensing the other party's intentions, Xifa methodically pressed the man back into his arms while connecting the voice.

Su Shichuan: "..."

Therefore, the first words Brant heard through the headset after reporting the situation to the commander in chief, who was far away in the Silver Head, were: "Don't move, you haven't hugged enough yet."

"..." The Minister made up his mind in an instant, and extended more than ten meanings to a simple "hug". He couldn't help clearing his throat, and tentatively said, "Is it inconvenient, Your Highness, why don't I contact you later?" ?”

The expression on Xifa's face returned to the original, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Shichuan, and wrote lightly: "No, I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's talk now."

That look seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and there was an obvious intimacy and ambiguity in the eyes, which completely lost the sense of dignity that was pressing every step of the way just now. Seeing Su Shichuan couldn't help frowning, he almost didn't dare to recognize the person in front of him who restrained his emotions so well. Guy—the change of this kid is really not a star, the depth of the city even far exceeds that of the same period in the previous life, it seems that we still have to be careful in the future, and we can't treat him like a little bastard anymore, otherwise it's really hard to fool him.

A few minutes later, the communication ended, Xifa hung up the voice, and then raised his head to meet Su Zhanchuan's sight. Su Zhanchuan said indifferently: "Is it enough to hug now?"

Xifa: "..."

Xifa was amused, and even the depression in his heart disappeared.

People who have dealt with Su Shichuan know how difficult it is to pry Su Shichuan's mouth.Before that, he asked him the same question three times, but every time he was able to answer it flawlessly, he just didn't ask any truth.

It is not easy to determine the identity of "The Crow" this time. The specious "You will always know" at the end is actually a preview of the end of the confession. Speaking of this, it is basically impossible to ask any more questions.Xifa thought to himself that he was well versed in his temper and nature, and knew better how to accept when he was offered, and it happened that Brant's news came, so he pushed the boat to turn over this article, and did not mention the previous things, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the long-awaited reunion. .

Anyway, others are here, and it is unlikely to go to other places for the time being. There are many opportunities for clichés, so there is no rush for this moment.

Thinking of this, the smile in Xifa's eyes deepened, and he said, "Holding is definitely not enough, but I won't hug here anymore." After speaking, he patted Su Shichuan's butt very affectionately, indicating that he could get up.

The admiral who had been spanked several times was taken aback for a moment, feeling that after meeting again, this little bastard had vaguely stiffened his wings and couldn't help but start kicking his nose and face. He used to pay attention to his words and deeds in front of him, but now It's just getting more and more out of line!

However, after thinking about it, both of them are in disheveled state after all. Because of his own image, Su Shichuan got up to get the clothes on the console with a heavy heart, put them on first, and said casually: "Rex What means?"

Xifa quickly put on his shirt, took out the storage box containing Su Xingchuan's personal belongings from the safe, and replied: "I agree to meet, but I heard that you are injured, and it is not too early, let me arrange it for you first." A place to live, and I’ll take you to him tomorrow morning.”

Su Shichuan put on the breeches and boots, turned around and saw Xifa playing with the pocket watch of the Xuanhuang shape, he couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "What time is it?"

With a thumbs up, Xifa lifted the watch cover and checked: "It's almost morning." He closed the watch cover, held the silver chain and looked at it before casually mentioning, "I seem to have seen this when I was in the military academy. You have been wearing it until now, what is the special significance?"

Su Shichuan walked over, picked up the communicator in the storage box, put it on, and said, "You should be able to guess."

Xifa: "!!!"

At that moment, the expression on Xifa's face was extremely exciting, and finally returned the pocket watch to Su Shichuan in disgust, and said indifferently: "I don't know."

Hearing this, Su Shichuan curled the corners of his mouth inconspicuously, always feeling that the wafting vinegar smell was refreshing, and after a few seconds of silence, he deliberately asked: "Would you like to send you off?"

Xifa became upset in an instant: "What do I want to do with other people's relics? Keep it for yourself!"

"Don't you know?" Su Shichuan looked at him teasingly.

Xifa was firmly trapped in the cover, and was speechless for a while.

Su Shichuan put the pocket watch into the breeches pocket, tightened the coat on his shoulders, thought for a while, wiped the blood from the wound on his chest, and skillfully applied it to the corners of his mouth and forehead, carefully blending it, and pretending to be With a red, swollen and injured look, he said, "Are there any handcuffs?"

Xifa didn't know why, but he took out a pair of handcuffs from the drawer as he said, and then asked, "What is this for?"

Su Shichuan cleaned up his face, clenched his fists with both hands, put his forearms together, and stretched out in front of Xifa.Xifa understood and put the handcuffs on him.

"I am the emperor's tutor of the Luo Yin Empire. After being arrested, not only the alliance will be suspicious, but the empire will also have to explain." Su Shichuan explained, "According to the plan, I never thought that I would be able to walk out from here. It was too light."

Xifa frowned: "This is the military headquarters, and all members of the alliance have to go through three inspections when they come in. According to what you mean, why does it seem that someone can see you going out from here?"

"Of course." Su Shichuan smiled meaningfully, "I told the operation captain who blocked me at the transfer star before that the agent who participated in the infiltration plan this time has already entered Sirius, and he should mention it when he comes back. Brant must have read the corresponding report."

"..." Xifa was shocked, "All your agents have been assigned to the Alliance Army?!"

Su Shichuan glanced at him inexplicably, and said as a matter of course: "The core target of the infiltration is the high-level alliance. There is nothing to say about this. But at the same time, the two armies are at war, and the military headquarters is an important place for military intelligence output, and the infiltration arrangement will inevitably take priority. considerate."

Xifa was speechless, fell silent immediately, and asked directly after a while, "Who is that person?"

"I can't tell you that." Su Shichuan said solemnly, "To be honest, the special agent who was placed in the military department is no less important than me, and belongs to the core of the plan. I just came in, and the main personnel were directly exposed and silenced by you. , Xifa, are you trying to betray me?"

"How could I betray you?" Xifa said eagerly, "I'm worried that Rex will be dissatisfied when he finds out, because this matter will embarrass you again."

Su Shichuan laughed immediately when he heard that, and gave him a look of "you are still too young", and said unhurriedly: "The main point of the two-way plan is two-way checks and balances and two-way profits, and the 'crow' is of course trusted. Chips, but in the overall situation, accepting a 'crow' does not have any substantial benefits for the alliance. What can make Rex fancy is actually after the status of 'crow', I At the same time, he still has the identity of the emperor's tutor."

"This is the concept of a double agent. In this way, accepting me is equivalent to having an undercover agent with an absolute core identity in the empire. He can use me to control important decisions in the empire. Not only has he opened up the intelligence network, but he can also To ensure the authenticity of the information to the greatest extent—and the list of agents I have is precisely the meeting ceremony tomorrow, and only by actually arranging agents to come in can we really dispel his doubts."

Xifa suddenly realized, and completely convinced Su Shichuan, the fox.

Su Shichuan smiled so that his eyes rolled up, and he said: "As a mentor, Rex's ability to dominate the overall situation is beyond doubt, and his military insights are also among the best in today's world. He taught you really well. But after all, he is not a colleague, and he is playing tricks In terms of means, he is a little bit worse."

"It's true." Xifa said kindly, "But having said that, I have never met anyone who is better than you in this regard. A 'crow' identity deceived the Empire and the Alliance. I am afraid that Brandt can't do it. arrive."

"More than that." Su Shichuan said, "The only people in 'Nameless' who know that I am 'Crow' are actually Xingyun and 17, and the rest don't know my identity to the outside world. It’s better for everyone to pretend you don’t know.”

Xifa: "..."

Xifa was speechless: "You even lied to your own people?"

"What is your own person?" Su Shichuan asked back, "Do you know why I became a 'crow'?"

Of course, Xifa was curious about the reason, but he was not sure whether he could get the real answer, so he temporarily held back his question. At this moment, Su Shichuan was so happy to speak, so he didn't answer, and waited obediently for him to continue.

Su Shichuan said: "Although the military department later defined the attack on the National Day Dinner as an assassination operation by the 'Unknown Person', in fact, I was not the one who planned that operation. I just wanted to rob Dr. Yunus."

Xifa was immediately surprised: "In other words, there were actually two groups of assassins that night."

Su Shichuan gave a "hmm" and said: "I knew Xingyun not long ago, he didn't trust me, and I also knew that he had selfish intentions, so I took him to act together knowingly. None of us thought beforehand that they would The assassination attempt would have been revealed in advance, and Cisse had already prepared for it, which resulted in the subsequent assassination failing and the assassins coming in but never coming out."

"At that time, I used rescue him and Ji Yue to go out as a bargaining chip, and forced Xingyun to work for me in the future, so I was forced to show up and fight Feng Chen, otherwise the military department would not have known about 'Crow' so early."

"By the way." Xifa suddenly realized, "That mecha is actually yours?"

"You mean Xuanhuang," Su Shichuan took out the pocket watch, shook the watch chain at him, and said maliciously, "I took over."

Xifa: "..."

Although I don't want to admit it, that bastard is really annoying. Leaving aside the relics, it is so important that it cannot be destroyed quietly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his temper in an instant.

Xuanhuang: I seem to hear His Highness wants to destroy me? ? ? ?
