Hunting Game [Interstellar]

It was close to four o'clock in the morning, and the work of making friends finally came to an end.The capture of the Imperial Space Station has achieved fruitful results, and the relevant personnel have returned to their posts. The Alliance Army is doomed to sleepless nights.

After bidding farewell to the general manager, Xifa finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurried to the underground parking garage alone.Su Shichuan had arrived earlier, but he didn't have the key to the levitation car. Right now, he was leaning against an inconspicuous corner, quietly smoking a cigarette to pass the time.

Seeing Xifa approaching, Su Xingchuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with the sole of his boot, and asked casually, "Is everything done?"

"I've explained everything related to me, and the rest of the torture investigation is a matter for the military." Xifa unlocked the suspension vehicle, and then walked to the co-pilot's side first, and opened the door for Su Shichuan.He glanced down at the scattered cigarette butts on the ground, and asked apologetically, "Have you waited long?"

"No." Su Shichuan walked over, "We'll talk about it in the car."

The two sat in the driver and co-pilot respectively, Xifa started the engine and said casually, "Where are you going?"

"Church." Su Shichuan said.

The energy valve was opened, the suspension vehicle started to speed up, and quickly drove away from the underground garage of the military headquarters.The night was dark, and there was not a single passing vehicle on the main road of the imperial capital. The light and shadow cast by the street lamps quickly passed over the surface of the car windows, forming strangely changing light bands.

Su Shichuan lowered the car window, then took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.

In the relative silence, the unique breath of nicotine slowly drifted away, and Xifa looked sideways at him, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"A lot of things." Su Shichuan leaned his elbows on the car door, put his thumb against his forehead, and pressed it tiredly.

The light inside the car was dim, and the light from the street lamp was diluted by shadows into an ambiguous dark orange.Xifa stared intently at Su Shichuan's side face, perhaps affected by the light and shadow. From this angle, it seemed that the other party's facial features were deeper than usual, and the edges and corners were blurred due to insufficient light, making it look extraordinarily soft and quiet, as if he was about to As in sleep, but Sifer knew he was thinking.

"Did Brant tell you something?" Sifer asked.

"There is a reason for this," Su Shichuan said, "He came here on behalf of Rex, and came to 'excuse me'."

Xifa was stunned, and was immediately surprised: "Isn't it? Although Feng Chen was let go, he still won an important strategic goal. At most, Rex would ask Brandt to ask why, and it is unlikely that he would be satisfied with the result." Dissatisfied." At this point, he paused for a while, and added after a while, "Even if there is dissatisfaction in his heart, according to his personality, he will not express it."

Hearing this, Su Shichuan gave him a sideways glance, and said meaningfully: "I can't see that you know him quite well."

Xifa couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Rex seems to be over 120 years old this year. Although he doesn't look old on the surface, his personality is boring and his body is even more boring. I know him, so you shouldn't be unhappy, right?"

Su Shichuan was stunned, and couldn't help laughing dumbfounded after a few seconds, and scolded him: "You're not a coward, how dare you take the two of us together as a joke?"

Xifa got the advantage, so he simply behaved more presumptuously: "Anyway, you have me in your heart, and you can't punish me for such a trivial matter."

Su Shichuan was extremely surprised, but he didn't show it. Instead, he silently sighed in his heart that this little bastard had evolved to such a brazen level, and he didn't know which bastard he learned it from.After a moment of silence, Su Xingchuan stretched out his hand to flick off the soot, and the sparks flew away and disappeared under the long night. Su Xingchuan said: "Brant also mentioned the princess's birthday, let me join you to participate."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it." Xifa said casually, with a hint of imperceptible contempt in his words.However, after the words fell, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly looked at Su Shichuan, "Do you have other plans?"

Su Shichuan gave a flat "hmm" and explained: "Fengchen has returned to the empire, and Cisse will learn from him the news that the space station has lost. How Fengchen will relay it here, how will Cisse understand it, and even the follow-up A series of suspicions, these are beyond my control, to be honest, I am very worried that I will have long nights and dreams."

"Speaking of this..." Xifa frowned slightly, as if he was not sure whether he should say it, he hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I know your relationship with Feng Chen, I can understand that you would not hesitate to disturb him in order to let him go. The whole plan is done, but the risks that may arise in this way are too great. I think he can survive, but he should not be allowed to leave."

Su Shichuan smiled knowingly, and said: "So today you came here without permission, just to save the ones left behind?"

Xifa was noncommittal and did not speak.

Su Shichuan said again: "It's not that I haven't thought about imprisoning him. No matter what the result is, at least make sure that there will be no accidents on him." He smirked, and his voice was full of ridicule, "But I I still want to take a gamble. I know Feng Chen, I know that he values ​​love and righteousness, and I know that he is not willing to be kept in the dark. I don't think I have the ability to persuade him, but I believe I can arouse his curiosity. He will not easily betray me to Cisse until he gets to the bottom of the truth."

Xifa didn't know why, so he subconsciously asked, "What's the truth?"

"What else can there be?" Su Shichuan said with a smile, "The most incomprehensible thing for Feng Chen is of course the reason why I betrayed the empire."

"Is it not for me?" Xifa looked sideways at him.

The smile in Su Shichuan's eyes deepened: "You are very important to me." He stretched out his hand to caress the side of Shang Xifa's face, leaned over and kissed his lips lightly, "But I'm not just because of personal feelings. There will be shaken people."

Xifa was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled helplessly: "It's so cold-blooded, I feel so sorry for knowing the truth."

Su Shichuan could tell that he was joking, but he didn't say any more, but leaned his head on Xifa's shoulder, and gently closed his eyes.Xifa thought he was tired, so he closed the co-pilot's window so as not to catch the cold from the night wind. Then he stabilized the steering wheel with one hand, and took Su Shichuan's palm with the other hand, clasping his fingers tightly .

The carriage became quiet, and even the slightest breathing became audible, and after an unknown amount of time, Su Shichuan opened his eyelashes tremblingly, and his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them alone.

"Xifa..." He opened his mouth suddenly and called softly.

Noticing that he wasn't asleep, Sifa curled his thumbs up, kept his fingers intertwined, scratched the back of the opponent's hand with his fingertips, then lowered his head and kissed the top of his hair: "What's wrong?"

Su Shichuan pondered for a moment, and said: "There are many people in this world who understand the principle of 'the overall situation is the most important thing', but they only understand superficially, but they have never had the opportunity to assume the responsibility behind this sentence in their entire lives." Tightly, he held back Xifa's hand, "It's heavy, and it will overwhelm you. I hope that when you have to face it, you will not be shaken by your personal feelings." .”

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?" Xifa asked.

"Because the burden on my shoulders is about to be lifted, and you are the one to take over." Su Shichuan said calmly, "I will help you win the Luo Yin Empire and secure your throne of the Glory of the Stars, and the next step How you go is up to you.”

"Why does it sound like you're going to step down and ignore me?" Xifa laughed, "You've been Cisse's tutor to the emperor for so many years, and you never thought of using the rest of your life to make up for me?"

Su Xingchuan raised his head, and the two met their eyes. Su Xingchuan said: "Don't even think about it, how many unforgivable capital crimes will I bear when you ascend the throne? The empire will not forgive me, and the alliance will not forgive me either , how could I be qualified to be your imperial tutor?"

Xifa was stunned suddenly, and was speechless for a while.

A game of dead chess is played to the end, the situation is alive, but the person playing chess is dead.

What the hell is this for? !

It was hundreds of kilometers from the imperial capital to the small town of Modo where the old church was located. After that, the two stopped communicating. Su Shichuan closed his eyes and fell asleep, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.

Three hours later, the sky was bright, and the early morning fog in late spring was thick, and the bright light of the morning sun was dispersed by the water vapor, turning into thousands of floating golden sands of Monzon.

The suspension car stopped in the open space outside the woods. Xifa opened the door and got off. Cang Xingyun, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him. Seeing that the co-pilot hadn't moved, he immediately asked, "Boss is asleep?"

"Yeah." Xifa knocked out two cigarettes, gave one of them to him, took the lighter in his mouth, and said, "I just fell asleep, I must be tired. I don't know what I came here to explain, but Don't be in a hurry at this moment, let him rest for a while." After finishing speaking, he lowered the slit on the side of the car window where the driver's seat is located to ensure the air circulation in the car, then signaled Xingyun, and the two left the side of the car, So as not to affect Su Shichuan's rest.

The suburbs are quiet and quiet, and no one else will come here. In theory, there is no danger.

But even so, the two of them didn't go far. Xifa stood under the tree with his back against the tree trunk, and his eyes were still fixed on the hover car not far away.

Cang Xingyun stood beside him, playing with the cigarette with his fingers, letting it twiddle between his fingers, and after a while he said flatly: "I guess he is here to explain the follow-up plan." Xifa looked away after hearing this , Turning to look at Cang Xingyun, Cang Xingyun continued, "This action was decided suddenly, and it is a move that affects the whole body. Before notifying you to dispatch people, the Boss said that his plan may be So the whole thing is ahead of schedule.”

"That's something I can think of," Sifer said, "and the opportunity he's going to take advantage of might be next week."

Cang Xingyun frowned slightly, and after a few seconds, he instantly realized: "Wangfei's birthday?"

Xifa nodded slowly: "According to Shi Chuan's original plan, the assassination would be on the Independence Day of the Alliance, but now it seems that this time is too long, and he can't wait until then."

Cang Xingyun remained thoughtful for a while, then said: "Birthdays are considered family banquets, which are more private and have fewer people to invite, so maybe it's more convenient to do it instead."

"Indeed." Sifa said, "But I always feel uneasy."

Cang Xingyun did not speak, but gave the other party a questioning look.

Xifa: "Painting Chuan gave me the feeling that he was putting all his eggs in one basket. He put himself in a very dangerous position. No matter which side wins this battle in the end, he will be the first to be liquidated when the dust settles. "

"This is the fate of multiple agents. If you leave yourself a way out, I'm afraid it will be impossible to facilitate today's situation." Cang Xingyun wrote lightly, "I have followed him for more than ten years, and I have never believed it. I have seen it step by step. Let him start to set up the game. To put it inappropriately, I have seen many people in this world who are not afraid of death, but he is the only one I have met who does not treat himself as a human being."

Xifa was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Cang Xingyun: "You think he is the one who arranges the chess, but in fact he is also a piece on the chessboard, a key point that decides the outcome, can bring the whole game back to life, and is also the 'knight' standing in front of the 'king' '. How do you win a game of chess? It's not about exchanging one for one, taking out the enemy's pieces step by step, and when he clears the last two obstacles for you, you will naturally be able to defeat the entire army of the Luo Yin Empire."

"It's just that the price of 'one for one' is understandable. After assassinating Rex, Boss has already been sentenced to death by the alliance." Cang Xingyun said plainly, with a tone that was chillingly indifferent, "But you Don't feel uneasy, Boss must have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago, he doesn't care, and naturally he doesn't want you to care."

Xifa curled the corners of his mouth inconspicuously: "Is this the overall situation, or is it 'selfishness' in another sense?"

Cang Xingyun understood very well, and said indifferently: "Boss is indeed a dictator in some respects, and no one can deny that." He paused, "But he is also wholeheartedly for your own good, and he has done far more than What you can see, time will tell, and you will know sooner or later."

Hearing this, Xifa looked sideways at him: "You must have been taught by Shi Chuan."

"Is it that obvious?" Cang Xingyun asked.

Xifa said with a smile: "The appearance of going around in circles is exactly the same, but he refuses to speak human words properly."

Cang Xingyun: "..."

Afterwards, the two continued to chat with each other, until it was close to noon, and there was no movement from the suspension car.Su Shichuan opened the door and got off the car.

The fog had dissipated at noon, the atmosphere was extremely transparent, and the sun was shining brightly, and the light was extremely dazzling.

After locking the suspension car, the three of them walked towards the church two in front and one behind.Su Shichuan didn't sleep well this time, and he wasn't tired after waking up, but his mental state was average, so he simply asked about Cang Xingyun's situation last night, and didn't ask any more questions after getting a general understanding.

There was nothing to say along the way, and the three of them walked to the door of the church after ten minutes.

Hearing the movement, the giant sled dog squatting on the platform of the fountain moved its ears, stood up in the next second, and stared at the gate with piercing eyes.After confirming that it was correct, the sled dog jumped down the fountain with all four paws on the ground, ran all the way, and rushed to Su Shichuan as soon as the courtyard door opened.

"Aww!" Seventeen burst into tears, "Why is it taking so long?"

Mr. Assassin took no notice of it, and opened the two doors of the iron art courtyard so that Su Shichuan could enter with a dog that was too big.

"I fell asleep on the way here. The two of them wanted me to rest for a while, so they didn't wake me up." Su Shichuan tried to put the coquettish dog down several times, but the dog's paws were too tight, so he had to carry it Walking into the yard, comforted by the way, "Don't cry, the clothes are full of saliva."

Shi Qi sniffled and said aggrievedly, "You had to go to the military headquarters with them last night. I was also worried. After all, you let one go, and I'm afraid you will be embarrassed by the alliance dogs."

Xifa: "..."

Xifa looked at Cang Xingyun, and said in a low voice: "This intelligent body turned its back so quickly, and when Dashichuan came, it turned against the alliance and refused to recognize anyone."

"Just get used to it." Cang Xingyun said, "This kind of non-human program setting is still simple, and it doesn't hide its brain damage. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, or you will be easily pissed off."

"Cough!" Shi Qi put his arms around Su Shichuan's neck, bared his teeth at the two people walking behind, and threatened, "No matter how low the voice is, I can still hear it!"

The two silently kept silent, and even more tacitly ignored him.

After entering the church, Shi Qi was finally willing to get out of the master's arms, landed on the ground and turned back into a human form, and said to Su Shichuan: "Lunch is ready, the master should be hungry by now?"

Su Shichuan didn't rest well, and originally planned to go back to the room to rest, but before he could speak, the communicator on his wrist vibrated untimely.Su Shichuan had been waiting for this news, and now there was some movement, so he raised his wrist to check the details.

On the light screen, the ID of the source of the message was hidden, and the content was very simple. The other party asked: [Teacher, is it convenient for you to speak? 】

"We'll talk about lunch later, you don't have to wait for me." After explaining, Su Shichuan quickly walked up the stairs, and put on the headset while going up to the second floor.

He replied to the other party: [I have no problem, but you have to pay attention to the environment around you and don't expose yourself. 】
