Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Lifting his eyelashes, Su Shichuan followed the other party's pointer and looked at the door.In an instant, there was light in his eyes trembling, like the ripples remaining after thousands of waves have been suppressed by all efforts, it is not obvious, but it is a seldom revealing truth under the appearance that is used to pretending.

"It's not fair." He didn't know how long it took, and he replied softly.

Cang Xingyun was silent for a few seconds, then immediately lowered his arms and let go of Su Zhanchuan's shoulders. He took half a step back and returned to a distance that was neither alienated nor intimate.

"Actually, I haven't been able to understand the thoughts until now, nor can I understand the complicated and entangled feelings. I am only half of human blood, and I am a beast closer to sharks in nature. In our definition, this world often It's not complicated, if I were in your position, the dividing line for me would not be past and present, but the living and the dead."

"—The person in the room is not dead, he has flesh and blood and feelings, and that's the most important thing."

After he finished speaking, Su Shichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then met his gaze again: "To tell you the truth, I have been trying my best to correct my thoughts for so many years. But in the end, I am just a mortal. So detached and clear, so even if I understand the principle of 'the living is the most important', I will occasionally be confused or confused."

Cang Xingyun frowned: "You don't need to confuse them, they are one person!"

"Sorry, that's not what I meant, but I don't know how to express it." Su Shichuan slightly tickled the smallest, with a somewhat helpless smile, "Let's put it this way, the death of Xifa in the last life is a big deal for me. A thorn in my heart, he got in touch with me in the last few minutes of his life, and asked me to treat Sifer Tranze after going back in time." At this point, his voice couldn't help but stagnate, and then resumed after a while He opened his mouth, but his voice was a little lower, "Can you imagine what it would be like to hear someone who is important to you die?"

Cang Xingyun didn't speak, just stared into his eyes for a moment.

"Every word he said at that time, the tone he used when he said it, and his breath - I remember it, I can't forget it, and I dare not forget it."

"So when I saw Xifa again, intellectually, I knew that they were exactly the same person, but emotionally, he was an object that needed to be cherished, cultivated, infinitely cared for and compensated. It was like a dying entrustment , apart from feelings, I still have a responsibility to him this time."

"During the initial period of time, I really couldn't help but compare. A person's growth trajectory is a very magical thing. I stood at the position closest to him and guided him bit by bit. The knowledge and skills given are handed down. Thanks to this, I saw with my own eyes the young Sifer Tranze that I had missed before. They are similar but different. This is a fact that must be faced squarely. I am in it, but I deliberately maintained the eyes of the bystander, and then I fell into a kind of confusion, and began to question whether they should be regarded as the same person."

"If it's unfair to say that differential treatment is unfair, is it fair to approach him now with feelings for the future Xifa?"

Cang Xingyun was startled, and finally understood what Su Shichuan wanted to express this time.

At this point, Su Shichuan had calmed down from the loss of control just now, and said calmly: "The past and the present cannot be ignored. I cherish this lost and recovered Xifa more than anyone else, and the deepest feeling I can do, It is to separate the past and treat him wholeheartedly and without distractions."

"It's not because of anyone, nor because of any memory. This is a brand new relationship. It's just me and him, and no one else can be tolerated."

"You said that I didn't leave a retreat for myself in the plan, and that I didn't have the desire to survive. This statement is both right and wrong. I admit that I haven't completely let go of the past, but until now, I have rarely done anything with them. In comparison, I seldom fall into memories, for the past, I only cherish the memory of the dead, that's all!"

"So no way out is not to bury him with him, it's just a plan. As for your saying that I have no desire to survive, I admit that after experiencing the defeat in the past, I have become very open-minded about personal life and death , but not to be buried with him, because if the ending I expected can really be ushered in, then the right to choose my life and death will inevitably fall into the hands of Xifa—this is an equivalent exchange, as I re-choose for him Fate's compensation, I also handed over my own destiny to him."

Cang Xingyun: "I think I understand." There was a rare smile in his eyes, "You are an affectionate, cold-blooded, and arbitrary lunatic."

Su Shichuan also smiled: "Can I understand that this is a compliment to me?"

"Whatever you want." Cang Xingyun looked at him with a look of "you've never been humble anyway", and asked, "I'm curious, did you have this kind of personality before?"

"Of course not." Su Shichuan glanced at him inexplicably, "I grew up step by step in the past. Like most people in this world, I have clear beliefs, cherish life, and believe that there is no place that cannot be reached without light. , and there is no such deep city and scheming, it should be said to be much simpler than now."

Cang Xingyun objectively commented: "It's unimaginable."

Su Shichuan couldn't help chuckling, and jokingly said: "Your brat is getting bolder and bolder, it doesn't count if you teach me a lesson, you have to tease me from time to time."

Mr. Assassin didn't comment, pretending he didn't hear it, and said after a while: "There is still a week until Princess Wang's birthday, how long do you plan to stay?"

"I've finished what I want to explain. It doesn't matter whether I stay or not, depending on what Xifa wants." Su Shichuan said.

Cang Xingyun let out a "huh" and said again: "If I want to assassinate Brant, I may have to follow up and prepare in advance. The same is true for Seventeen who is responsible for keeping an eye on Rex. In fact, the time is still very short. I plan to leave as soon as possible. Imperial capital."

Su Shichuan nodded in agreement, and said: "Then you go and meet Shi Qi now, and you can figure out the action plan for yourself. I don't have a hard requirement here. In principle, the only thing is not to expose it." He went up In the first two steps, I reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and shook it lightly, "Be careful in everything, if something happens to you, even I will blame myself."

"Don't worry." Cang Xingyun said.

Su Shichuan: "Go."

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking. Cang Xingyun turned around and quickly left the corridor on the second floor. Su Shichuan looked back at the fountain on the first floor and noticed that the sled dog in the seventeenth form seemed to be asleep. The little shark swam to the pool to play with its tail but didn't find it.

The afternoon sun was just right, and the brilliant light was blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, leaving only a bright spot in the backyard.Su Shichuan leaned against the edge of the window frame and waited for a few minutes until Cang Xingyun appeared and picked up the snoozing dog, and violently woke them up with the unique way of getting along between the two. This quiet afternoon has become quite noisy.Only then did he walk towards the door slowly, and after pushing it open, he walked in silently.

The room was the same as when he left, the curtains were closed, the light was dim, and there was a strong atmosphere that made people sleepy.

Su Shichuan took off his coat and put it on the back of the armchair, then came to the bed and sat down sideways.

Perhaps feeling the collapse of the bed, Xifa in his sleep made a movement, groped with one hand and grabbed Su Shichuan's wrist, and pulled it gently.Su Shichuan followed the other party's wishes and lay down, but Xifa was not satisfied, turned over and hugged him directly.

"Where did you go?" he asked vaguely.

Su Shichuan leaned on his left arm, stretched out his hand to hug the other person's waist, and replied in a low voice: "I can't sleep, I went out to smoke two cigarettes, and by the way, explain the next thing to Xingyun."

Hearing this, Xifa opened his eyes, collected himself, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No." Su Xingchuan explained, "I just saw him coming up, and I talked with him while chatting." Then, without waiting for him to ask in detail, Su Xingchuan simply outlined the relevant plans.

Xifa had come to his senses completely, and listened very carefully, without saying a word the whole time.After Su Xingchuan finished speaking, he thought over the content several times in his mind, and then said cautiously: "After you mentioned it, I realized that Rex really seems to be deliberately avoiding you, and he is really cautious."

Su Shichuan said: "Actually, there is one thing I didn't explain to Xingyun. The reason that prompted me to plan ahead of schedule is only one aspect, and the other aspect is the uncertainty from Rex himself."

Xifa frowned slightly, and understood the meaning of this sentence instantly in a flash of thought: "He is not a person who sits and waits to die. It is impossible for a target he suspects to be a threat to be kept by his side. You are not only afraid that the long night and dreams will cause Xifa Cy's suspicion, and you're even more worried that Rex will act first and silence you?"

"It's also likely to be us." Su Shichuan said.

Xifa didn't know why, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.Su Shichuan said: "If he chooses to kill me unilaterally, it will inevitably cause your dissatisfaction. Rex will consider this situation, so is it possible to solve it with you?"

"The reason, how is he going to explain it?" Xifa asked.

"Have you forgotten that I am an agent sent by the Luoyin Empire?" Su Shichuan asked back, Xifa was stunned, and Su Shichuan said again, "He can announce to the public that I was the one who assassinated you, and he doesn't even need to announce to the public that I am the one who assassinated you." The news of the death, because the living person is more suitable to bear the crime. The birthday of the princess, the assassination of the prince, and the absconding of the secret agent, so that the alliance immediately has a full reason to attack, and the space station that got in the way has also been removed."

"Of course, these are just my guesses, and they are the arrangements I will definitely make when I am in his position."

"But I think it's reasonable." Xifa said very seriously, "And it's really smart! Your thinking seems to be different from ordinary people, and you are better at..." He stopped suddenly, as if he didn't know how to express himself The meaning of thinking seems to be difficult to export.

Su Shichuan smiled and said with a leisurely smile: "I'm better at plotting plots, setting traps, and playing tricks. Do you want to say this?"

"..." Xifa coughed guiltily, "I didn't say that."

"It's okay to say." Su Shichuan raised his head and kissed him on the lips, and teased with a half-smile, "Anyway, your man and I are not a good person."

Xifa: "..."

my man? ? ?

Su Shichuan ignored the silent protest, opened the cuff of his shirt to check the time of the communicator, then patted Xifa's buttocks, and said: "It's time to get up, Xingyun and Seventeen will have results soon, I'm afraid there will be more Let's go back to the imperial capital first." He turned over and got out of bed while talking, and threw the suit of clothes that Xifa had taken off to him.

The two moved quickly, and after getting dressed, they came to the chapel on the first floor together.

The other three were already waiting there. Seeing Su Shichuan and Xifa coming in, they got up one after another. Su Shichuan looked at Cang Xingyun and asked lightly, "Is everything agreed?"

"Your arrangement has been conveyed, Shi Qi and I intend to leave after the sun sets." Cang Xingyun said.

Su Shichuan nodded slowly, and then looked at McGregor: "Old rules, you don't need to participate directly, but in order to prevent accidents, you should go out and run business before the situation here is stable, and take the little guy in the backyard away together .”

McGarry: "By accident you mean a failed assassination?"

"Of course." Su Shichuan said, "As long as one of us is exposed, this plan will be over forever. You can't expect Rex to be merciful to the assassin's accomplices, right? So you still have to take the worst The results are taken into consideration.”

"Then if it succeeds, where should I go to meet you?" McGregor asked again.

Su Shichuan pondered for a moment, and said: "You are a star thief, and your identity is the safest compared to us. In fact, you can go anywhere, and you don't have to come back. My suggestion is to wait until the war between the empire and the alliance is over. Then choose to stay, or continue to be your unfettered smuggler."

"You didn't treat me as your own in the end." McGregor laughed.

"Who said that?" Su Shichuan retorted solemnly, "If I didn't want you to be mine, it would be impossible for me to find you after a year later." He smiled, "Don't think too much , I just habitually avoid unnecessary risks, and I don’t have many companions, so attrition should be avoided as much as possible.”

After the words closed, he looked at Cang Xingyun again, and ordered: "Tell Ji Yue, she doesn't need to participate directly this time, but be prepared, if our assassination fails, she will ensure that Dr. Yunus You can escape smoothly. You can go anywhere afterwards, as long as you stay alive."

"I see." Cang Xingyun said.

"Why do you have to say that?" Seventeen couldn't help interjecting, "Master, you are too pessimistic. You make it seem like the success rate is not high. The initiative is clearly on our side."

Su Xingchuan only told Xifa about Rex's possible anti-assassination speculation, and the others didn't know it at all, and obviously didn't think about it so deeply.When Xifa heard this, he subconsciously looked at Su Shichuan. Seeing the latter shaking his head slightly, he knew that he had no intention of explaining too much, so he continued to keep quiet.

Su Shichuan was not in a hurry to speak, and walked straight to Shiqi through two rows of benches.

Seeing this, Shi Qi's suffocation that had accumulated throughout the afternoon dissipated immediately, and immediately turned into a sled dog, and threw himself into the arms of its owner with a "owwow": "Even if the assassination fails, you will be fine, there is no need to tell us your last words. "

Su Shichuan was about to speak, but Shi Qi hurriedly added: "I don't accept rebuttals!"

Su Shichuan couldn't make a move, so he just patted the sled dog's huge buttocks: "It's always right to take precautions before they happen."

"Don't listen, don't listen!" Seventeen coquettishly buried his head into Su Shichuan's shoulder, and then whispered in a voice that only each other could hear, "The 'hunting plan' is about to be completed, and the Luo Yin Empire is about to come under your control. You should be happy to gain a new life under the influence, right?"

Su Xingchuan was startled, and then laughed dumbfounded: "You're right, you should be happy." He smoothed the sled dog's plump hair, "I'm very happy, really."
