Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Ten minutes later, Seventeen left and returned, and the three people in the conference room stopped communicating and each got up with a cigarette.

Su Shichuan went out of the room first, Shiqi greeted him, and followed obediently: "Master." Su Shichuan stopped and looked at him sideways with a smile on his face, Shiqi continued, "Your bedroom Get ready, it's at the far end of the corridor, the one on the right. I put hot water, you can take a bath first, and then rest."

"Thank you." Su Shichuan said with a smile.

Seventeen said: "Then you go back first, and I will go over to show you the condition of the wound later."

"Row."

"Master, walk slowly."

After finishing speaking, Su Shichuan walked towards the end of the corridor according to the prompt. Shiqi wagged his tail and watched him off, then turned sharply and stopped Xifa who was about to follow like a wolf with a big tail.Xifa was taken aback, thinking that this intelligent body changed its face too quickly. In the past, even if it was full of loopholes, it knew how to put on a show. It also knew how to say something respectful to him. How could this attitude be reversed 180 degrees as soon as its identity was revealed, isn't it? What is dogfighting?

Next to the two of them, Cang Xingyun crossed his arms and leaned against the wall calmly, without expressing any opinions, calmly waiting for a fight.

"What do you mean?" Xifa raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Shiqi coldly.

Seventeen, as an intelligent body, does not have room for growth. Right now, the height of the human figure is slightly lower than that of Xifa, and people always look less mighty when they look up. Imposing manner: "Your Highness went wrong, the room I prepared for you is on the other side." After finishing speaking, Shi Qi raised his chin in the opposite direction, the provocation in his eyes could be said to be ready to come out, and he was extremely arrogant.

Xifa followed the other party's gesture and glanced over.

Although this church is not too big, it can't be used by up to three people. The area is more than enough compared to the number of people, and there are a lot of vacant rooms.That half of the corridor was obviously not used often, and even a wall lamp was not lit in the middle of the night, and it was dark at a glance, and there was not even a ghost.

Xifa breathed a sigh of relief calmly, tried to maintain his demeanor, and said politely: "Do you not know what we are related to?"

"I know." Shi Qi looked at him as a matter of course, "Teacher and student, I also went to the military school back then, and I helped you cheat in the extra exam, have you forgotten?"

Xifa: "..."

"Oh, that's right!" Seventeen simulated a surprised expression 100% realistically, "You two had an appointment earlier, and I was there—"

"You're here too?!" Xifa was shocked, wondering why Su Shichuan had such a strong taste?To do that with him even brought a non-human onlooker!Originally, the black history of "one minute and 20 seconds" had stuck him for half of his life, but now with the addition of a mouth owed to the dog, it was simply a double damage plus a critical strike!

Seventeen's indifferent face: "Your Highness, I have to remind you that our upright silicon-based lifeforms can't do the kind of thing in your mind. I was in the backyard at the time and didn't go up. Don't think of me as wretched like you .”

Sifa immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Cang Xingyun couldn't help laughing.

Seventeen and one eye knife flew over, Mr. Assassin skillfully stopped laughing, pretending nothing happened.

Seventeen looked at Xifa again: "So, what else does Your Highness need me to know? It's just an appointment 13 years ago. It's something you like and I wish. Why does Your Highness still want to be bound for life?"

Xifa: "..."

"Besides, it's late at night, and the master is still injured, so you can't let him rest for a day?" Shi Qi disdainfully said, "No wonder my master always scolds you, little bastard, white-eyed wolf. It's justified at all. According to it, you can’t accept it. Your carbon-based male creatures just like to put their brains in their underwear. If you want me to say that this is an incompleteness in the history of biological evolution, you continue to work hard to get the brain back in place occasionally.”

After finishing the sentence, Seventeen turned back into a sled dog with a "squeak", twisting its plump buttocks and a hairy tail, and happily ran towards Su Shichuan: "Master~~~~~"

Xifa was directly baffled by the opponent's barrage of nonsense, and it took a few seconds to react, and turned to look at Cang Xingyun: "I have shown it, what am I going to do?"

"Just get used to it." Cang Xingyun comforted him, "Seventeen doesn't mean anything malicious."

"He has no malice. In his eyes, all who approach his master are malicious!" Xifa sucked out a cigarette and lit it. "Can't you force the phone to shut down?"

"It's possible, but the consequences of restarting the machine are quite serious."

"for example?"

"Have you ever been beaten by an agent?"

"..."

"It's hard work, and I don't know how tired I am yet."

"Why does it sound like you have been beaten, and you are quite afraid of him?"

"……I do not have."

"Are you hesitating?"

"No."

……

A few hours later, the sky brightened, and the sky over Modo was cloudy, and it looked like it would rain soon.

The quality of this sleep was very good. Su Shichuan woke up early but didn't get up. Instead, he opened the curtains and leaned against the bed to read a morning newspaper from a few days ago with the thin skylight.In the early hours of the morning, Seventeen received radiation therapy for his wound, and now the trauma has completely healed, and there is no need for bandaging and dressing changes, which saves the time for recuperating.

In the airtight room, the sound of breathing undulates evenly, and the sled dogs lie down like a mountain at the foot of the bed, snoring and sleeping soundly.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room. Su Shichuan closed the morning newspaper and put it beside him, and replied in a low voice, "Come in."

After he finished speaking, the door opened from the outside, and Sifa brought a breakfast tray into the room, went straight to the bed and put the things on the bedside table.Immediately afterwards, he looked back at the sleeping dog, and saw that the dog frowned uncomfortably on the bed, and without a word, wrapped the dog in a thin blanket, and quickly moved out of the room while he was dead asleep, going to the corridor without getting in the way put it somewhere.

After dealing with the disturbing intelligent body, Xifa returned to the bedroom and closed the door and locked it. When he turned around, he suddenly felt that the gloomy room was much brighter.

Su Shichuan laughed and didn't say a word the whole time, he just thought about it silently in his heart, and when Shi Qi woke up, he might explode.

"How are you resting?" Xifa came to the bed and sat down, took the cup of warm milk from the tray, blew on it, and handed it to Su Shichuan.

Su Xingchuan didn't answer. When he took the milk, he leaned over and reached out to pinch Xifa's chin and lifted it up very frivolously. He leaned forward and kissed him on the lips: "It's very good." After the teasing, he was calm again Leaning back to the head of the bed, smiling at Xifa while sipping the milk in the glass.

This set of movements was done naturally in one go, the intimacy was pure and unaffected, Xifa was slapped in the face, and the depression of being forced to separate the night before disappeared immediately.

"Rex contacted me just now to ask about your situation." Xifa adjusted his mood, trying not to make the little excitement that was aroused too obvious, and said seriously.

"It's not unexpected." Su Shichuan put down his glass and wrote lightly, "According to his character, it's impossible not to think too much. He will arrange people to monitor our actions. I'm afraid when he left the Seven Stars Palace last night, he We knew we would come here."

"I thought of that too," Xifa said, "so I came here to ask, how long do you plan to stay here?" After he finished speaking, he vaguely felt that this way of asking could easily lead to misunderstanding, and after a few seconds of silence, he hurriedly added, "I don't have any other intentions. I just think that the space station of the Empire is not so easy to attack, and you are not very familiar with the Alliance military department. If possible, I would like to take you to meet some senior military officers so that we can discuss countermeasures. "

Su Shichuan heard the clue, and his eyes rolled up with a smile: "The person you will bring me to meet, shouldn't be exactly Rex's person, right?"

"You are right or wrong to say so." Xifa explained, "The situation of the alliance is different from that of the empire. It has been established for a short time and has not experienced a change of dynasty. Rex's position can be said to be quite stable and not so easy to shake."

Su Shichuan nodded slowly: "Understood."

Xifa added: "So I can only start with relatively new people, and I have to choose targets with room for advancement and important positions, so the range of choices for me is actually very small. I dare not say that those are my people. , but at least when they need to make a choice between me and Rex, they should consider and hesitate."

"It's not nearly enough."

"I know."

"You haven't understood what I mean." Su Shichuan corrected him calmly, "What you want to do is not to break up the alliance, nor to force your subordinates to make choices. Doubtful people become convinced, it doesn't matter who they are loyal to now, what matters is that the loyalty must have weight."

"Thinking about it from another angle, Rex's stable position and monopoly power are actually a good thing. This at least shows that the alliance is complete and has no factions. It itself is a hundred times stronger than the empire's political system. In this way, when Lei Max is gone, the people in charge of power have changed, and those who were originally loyal to him will naturally support the crown prince he has determined, that is, you, at least most people will do so."

Today is not what it used to be. Xifa now listens to Su Shichuan's remarks and subconsciously thinks too much. As he gets to know him better, his thinking begins to become more and more special, closer to the mode of opportunists.He is well aware that Su Shichuan has always only said good things to him, but any benign result will inevitably be accompanied by an equivalent payment, and these prices are the key to the overall situation, the most important thing that determines success or not, but It is precisely that Su Shichuan will avoid mentioning it.

This is the man's way of protection. He will isolate any part that has anything to do with risk, so that the protected person can "sit back and enjoy the benefits" safely.

So the more bluntly Su Shichuan spoke, the more uneasy Xifa would feel.

The assassination of Rex is equivalent to the collapse of the original belief. In this change, Xifa played the role of replacing Rex, and he is bound to make a difference after taking office.At that time, Su Xingchuan's "true identity" will be exposed, and he will be acquiesced to be a hidden arrow shot by the empire, sealing his throat with blood, not only confusing the prince of the alliance, but also lightly taking the commander's life.

That is a fuse, which will undoubtedly intensify the contradictions between the opposing sides in a short period of time.

But what about afterwards?

He had put himself in an irreparable position, the target of the League's hatred.

"Shichuan..." Finally, Xifa couldn't help but speak.

"I know what you want to say, but now is not the time to be emotional." Su Shichuan interrupted him, but his voice was as calm as ever, "Do you now understand why I have been unable to tell you the truth? I admit it Trust plays a part of it, but more of it is your feelings for me."

"My plan is extreme. There can be no omissions. I will not allow anyone to question me after I have deployed. Everyone must obey unconditionally. I can sacrifice everyone, even myself, to achieve my goal, but you will hesitate."

"For this, I can actually understand it, but I absolutely can't accept it. I also hope that you can think about the stakes in it. I won't teach you. I want you to understand it yourself, so that your heart can become colder. Only when it hardens can it become a decision maker, replace Rex and Sissy, and become the new owner of the Rhine galaxy."

Having said this, Su Shichuan took Xifa's hand that was propped by the bed, lowered his head, and kissed it very delicately.

"Just ask yourself now, if you were the one who was seriously injured in the face of me, would you choose to obey the order and throw me into the sea?"

"If you were the last person who stayed by my side that day when the church was bloodbathed, do you have the determination to stab me?"

Xifa was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but that hand was firmly held by Su Shichuan.He watched helplessly as the man who had kissed him tenderly just a second ago raised his head, his eyes met, those warm and beautiful eyes still smiled, and the light in his eyes was gentle and soft, but he looked into the bottom of his eyes to see clearly what was there An ice field exists.

The most poisonous thing about the femme fatale of the intelligence department is that she doesn't even let herself go.

"I don't, I can't." Sifa replied frankly, "Because I love you."

Hearing this, Su Zhanchuan smiled, stretched out his hand to caress the side of Shang Xifa's face, raised his eyes, and stared at his eyes for a moment: "What's the use of love?" His voice trembled slightly, as if he was disturbed by something. Infection, "If 'I love you' could have saved you, you would have lived forever, so why would you be here today?"

Xifa half understood, thinking that Su Shichuan was talking about the current situation in the alliance, but he didn't know that he was referring to their life.

At this moment, the bright electric light split the clouds, there was a loud thunder outside, and the heavy rain fell from the sky, instantly breaking the relative silence in the bedroom at this time.

"Don't think too much, it's not time to think too much yet." Su Shichuan relaxed, and shook Xifa's shoulder reassuringly, "The overall situation is uncertain, everything is full of variables, and the things that need to be considered have already been settled." Enough is enough, let's solve the immediate problem first, and then take care of the future."

Xifa curled the corner of his mouth inconspicuously, and said helplessly: "Shi Chuan, every word you say is well-founded, and you have a clear idea of ​​your interests and interests, so you can put yourself in the position of abandoning the child without any scruples. The overall situation comes first, Benefits are the most important thing, and individuals are indeed insignificant in front of the two, I admit that I was persuaded by you, but..." He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, but also seemed to be trying to calm down some emotions.

Su Shichuan looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.He knows that this kind of mentality change is a very difficult and long process. Some people can't act in cold blood throughout their lives, and they can't become an exact strategy machine, because it violates the sincerity and human nature.

No one can be persuaded by a few words, and then produce earth-shaking changes. After all, a cold heart needs the necessary opportunity and reason.Being able to treat people as pawns that can be discarded at any time, and being able to use human life as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits, all of this actually shows that the planner itself is no longer a human being.

For Su Shichuan, he died at the moment Xifa died when the last communication was interrupted.

That farewell pushed him from a place of infinite light into the abyss. From then on, he put on a disguise, annihilated his humanity, and completely became a calculating machine.In fact, with the launch of the "hunting plan", what the Luo Yin Empire lost was not the regent, but their supreme commander.

Because Su Shichuan died, but "Crow" lived.

"But you can give up on yourself, but I can't give up on you."

These words are like a luminous stone, thrown into a deep pool, the radiance glows, reawakening Su Shichuan's consciousness that is deeply trapped in memories, and he can't help but lose his mind for a second when he looks at Xifa.

"No matter how cold and hard my heart is, you are special in my heart. It doesn't matter if you are disappointed or think I can't teach you, but you can't force me to give up my feelings for you, right?"

"I'm afraid that I will never catch up with you in my life, because I don't know how to stop loving you!"

With a smile in his eyes, Xifa raised his hand and gently scratched his side face: "Promise me, don't be so cruel to yourself in your plan, if you can't do it, then try to replace you with me, and you will You'll know how far you've pushed me."

Su Shichuan was stunned suddenly.

"Of course, if you can easily do it without hesitation, I don't feel bad about it." Xifa smiled and joked, "When I first met you, I felt that you lacked love. If there is a god in this world, then he must have opened his eyes on the day we were destined to meet."

……

In the evening, the rain eased somewhat.

Xifa drove back to the imperial capital with Seventeen disguised as Su Shichuan.

In the chapel in the front hall, Su Shichuan stood in front of the statue of the main god, staring up at the dusty face, and his eyes fell on the slightly hollow eyes of the statue.He thought of the scene when they met in the previous life, and the stalking from Xifa after that unpleasant encounter.

God opened his eyes...

Su Shichuan smiled from the bottom of his heart.

How could there be a god in this world?It is nothing more than the spiritual sustenance that believers seek for themselves.

But he suddenly wanted to know why that guy fell in love with him back then, it couldn't be because of his face, right?
