Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Princess Anna's residence is not in the Imperial City of the Seven Star Palace, but in a quiet place near the outskirts of the imperial capital, where people will not be easily disturbed.

The escort convoy was ready in front of the vestibule of the Silver Head. After the two left the palace, they stopped talking consciously. Su Shichuan put on the in-ear headset, connected his communicator with Cang Xingyun and Seventeen, and then sent the A headset was distributed to Xifa, and then the latest situation was explained to his subordinates in the form of text messages.

Walking out of the courtyard, the accompanying attendant opened the car door, protected the top of the door frame with his palm, and bent down respectfully.

When the two got into the car, Xifa took the initiative to raise the sound insulation baffle between the front and rear compartments. Su Shichuan just sent the last text, then pressed the headset, and said lightly: "We are on the way to the palace of the princess, probably It will arrive in half an hour." He quickly glanced at the time displayed on the upper right corner of the screen, remained silent for a few seconds, and quickly called his name, "Xingyun."

Cang Xing fell back: "I am here."

"Brant's side should have already made obvious arrangements," Su Shichuan said, "Where are you from?"

"Princess Palace, I'm following you in." Cang Xingyun's voice was very low, even if several people were on the same channel, the content of his speech had to be carefully identified to hear clearly, "Brant's dispatch is all from their intelligence department The agents, judging from their proficiency, have been deployed for a while. I can observe 18 people, most of them are in ambush inside and outside the living room, and six people are scattered around the palace. It is estimated that it is to prevent future troubles and prevent the target from escaping. .”

Hearing this, Su Shichuan turned his head to look at Xifa calmly, and it happened that Xifa was also looking at him.The two looked at each other tacitly, and the same answer was instantly confirmed in each other's hearts.

Xifa said: "Brant didn't use outsiders, which means that Rex didn't want the real situation that happened today to be leaked. It seems that there is indeed a ghost in the queen mother's palace..." His eyes narrowed slightly, and the bottom of his blue and waveless eyes seemed to be There is a tsunami hidden, but the voice is still calm, "He has prepared everything, just waiting for Shichuan to fall into the trap."

Su Shichuan raised the corner of his mouth inconspicuously, as if to appease, he did not speak, but took Xifa's left hand and gently squeezed it into his palm.

"There are only two choices in front of us now, to be a lamb to be slaughtered, or to be a wolf in sheep's clothing?" He said lightly, "We have no retreat at all, we can only choose to commit the crime knowingly and throw ourselves into the trap."

Xifa was noncommittal, and didn't say anything more. He knew very well that Su Shichuan was ruining his own way, putting him to death. His plan survived, but he became the target of the alliance's anger. On the premise that everything goes well.

"Seventeen," Su Shichuan said again, "How is the situation at Rex's side?"

Seventeen answered truthfully: "The security of the 'restricted area' has not changed much, but the guards have been increased appropriately. It seems that Rex should be very confident in his plan."

Su Shichuan let out a "huh" flatly, and after a moment of contemplation, he ordered: "Later, you pay more attention to the situation on our side, and when the time is almost up, go to invade the control center of the 'forbidden zone' and open the defensive barrier. Rand will come to you."

"Understood." Seventeen said.

"Xingyun, now you leave the palace and find all the agents deployed outside, and do it cleanly, and don't let the people inside find out too quickly." Su Shichuan warned, "Anyone who knows a little about the inside of today's matter must not leave it behind." Let me live, I demand that the news be blocked, and rot in the bones with the dead."

Cang Xingyun: "I see."

After the confession, Su Shichuan asked the two Mikes to turn on the free mode, so as to keep informed of the situation in various places.Then he didn't say any more, and moved his eyes to the gray and rainy window, as if he was thinking or simply lost in thought.Xifa looked down at the hands they were clasping, his fingers unconsciously tightened, and he squeezed back with force.

"After today, are you leaving again?"

"Yeah." Su Shichuan didn't look at him, and replied softly, "It's faster than expected, but it's also good, and I can feel at ease sooner."

"I discovered the difference between us." Xifa said, "You only think about the present, and you can do whatever you want, regardless of the consequences and the gains and losses. But I can't help but worry about the future. I don't know what to do with today's events. In the end, I don't know how to get you forgiven after the dust settles... Shi Chuan, you may think that I am not far-sighted enough and only limited by my personal feelings, but what you are doing now really makes me feel uneasy."

"My throne, my dynasty, and even the reasons that catalyzed the end of this war are unimaginable. In the end, everything I am sitting on is based on your eternal doom and self-sacrifice. Even at this moment, I know clearly what you have done It's completely correct, but I can't convince myself to accept it with peace of mind."

"It's okay," Su Shichuan smiled, "For you, I am willing."

Xifa shook his head: "But I don't want to."

Su Xingchuan was startled briefly when he heard the words, and finally turned his head to look at him.

Xifa lowered his eyelashes, looked at the hands of the two for a moment, rubbed his thumbs, and stroked the back of each other's hands: "Actually, I didn't have much interest in the throne from the beginning to the end. It may be because I have been fighting since childhood. I have never been expected by anyone, so instead of sitting in that lonely seat alone, I would rather let you stay by my side openly."

"I've always been sorry," Su Shichuan said suddenly, "I imposed this responsibility on you, and one day you will understand that it's not that you controlled your destiny to get to where you are today, but that fate forced you to do so. go down."

"Is it because of the things you kept from me?" Xifa calmly asked.

Su Shichuan was not surprised, and said with a smile: "You are the smartest thing is to understand the principle of 'don't ask what shouldn't be asked'."

"I don't understand reason," Xifa corrected, "I just don't want to force you, and I don't want to hear any plausible answers from you. I didn't plan to break my promise when I said I believed you. I will wait for you to tell me. Be patient and afford to wait.”

"Are you saying that to make me feel guilty?" Su Shichuan asked without answering.

Xifa raised his eyes to look at him, and his expression finally softened: "Then did I succeed?"

"Half and half," Su Shichuan replied very seriously, "I already owe you."

Xifa raised his eyebrows: "Then when are you going to tell the truth?"

"See you next time."

"next time?"

"Well, you interrogate me," Su Shichuan was silent for a few seconds, and then added, "Tell me everything."

The closer to the suburbs, the heavier the rain. It was close to nine o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the palace, but the sky was as gloomy as the evening.

The motorcade came to a complete stop outside the palace, and the accompanying attendant came over with an umbrella to pick them up.

Xifa blocked it with his hands, then directly took the umbrella from the opponent's hand, and took Su Shichuan from another waiter's umbrella, and then ordered: "The princess doesn't like to see outsiders, you wait here, you don't need to follow. After finishing speaking, he put his hand on Su Shichuan's back in a very gentlemanly manner, and walked into the gate of the courtyard with an umbrella shoulder to shoulder with him.

The palace of Princess Anna is a retro manor, with a straight corridor leading directly to the main building, and on both sides are gardens full of local plants.

Su Shichuan noticed that the vestibule was full of the kind of trees with feathers and flowers that he had seen after the third prince's palace. Unfortunately, the season is not right now, and the flowers have already withered, leaving only the lush branches and leaves washed by the rain It's shiny green.

"When we first met, you were obviously about the same height as me." Withdrawing his gaze, he turned to look at Xifa, "When did you surpass me?"

The space under the umbrella is limited, and it will be very cramped for two adult men to share.With no one around at the moment, Xifa simply held Su Shichuan's shoulders.Due to the height difference of a few centimeters, this movement is very comfortable to do. Xifa didn't notice it at first, but he woke up belatedly after he mentioned it, and recalled: "I can't remember, I started from Baidi Star When I left, it seemed that I was taller than you, right?"

"It's not that obvious." Su Shichuan said.

"Finally, there is one thing that surpasses you," Xifa said with emotion, "It's not easy for me to be suppressed by you in all aspects for so long."

Su Shichuan was amused, did not speak, but raised his eyes and gave the little bastard a sideways look.

Ten minutes later, the corridor came to an end.The two walked up the steps and came to the main entrance of the main building of the manor.

The palace chief who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, took the dripping umbrella from Xifa, saluted him, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way, and the humidity outside is heavy, so let's go in first."

Xifa nodded slightly as a greeting, and led Su Shichuan into the door according to the words, and then asked without looking back: "How is the princess, is she in good health?"

"As usual, I have been taking medicine on time, but the effect is not obvious." The manager sighed, and changed his words after a while, "However, I am in good spirits today, probably because I know that His Highness is coming, and I am already waiting for you in the living room."

At this moment, the electric current in the headset rustled, and Cang Xingyun's voice came. He said, "The outside agents have all been dealt with. Sure enough, there are 12 people who slipped through the net."

Su Shichuan turned his head to look at Xifa, raised one hand to his ear, and tapped the microphone twice as if straightening his temple hair, indicating "understand".

"I saw you, and I'll follow not far behind." Cang Xingyun whispered, "The manager in charge of leading the way is also an insider, the original owner has been replaced, and an agent is disguised. Pay attention, he is very likely Will sneak attack."

In the rainy day, the light was insufficient, and wall lamps were lit in the corridor, and the warm yellow light spread out in a fan shape, casting the shadows of the three on the luminous floor.

Xifa listened carefully for a while, and he was sure that there were only three footsteps echoing, and the assassins were indeed following behind them, and he could only sigh in his heart that Cang Xingyun was really powerful.

The agent pretending to be the supervisor didn't notice, and still led the way for the two respectfully.

A group of people came to the second floor of the palace. The manager stood still in front of the door of the reception room, turned to Xifa and said, "His Royal Highness, this is the place." After speaking, he turned to the door again, tapped the door panel three times, and reported Said, "His Royal Highness, the crown prince is here."

The man's old-fashioned voice echoed in the corridor, and the surroundings were quiet. The outdoor water vapor seeped in through some gap, causing the air to soak in water and become heavy.Before the people in the living room could answer, the butler reached out and grabbed the doorknob, and gently pushed it in.

In an instant, the already extremely humid air suddenly had an imperceptible smell of rust.The manager, on the other hand, remained respectful and polite, and pushed the two door panels wide open. He was about to turn his head and invite the two of them into the house. At this moment, a hand was clasped behind his neck, and his cold fingers were like iron tongs. , Tighten and at the same time completely cut off the thought of turning his head.

Behind him, Xifa turned his head to look at Su Shichuan, and asked, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"

"What are you looking at?" Su Shichuan stared at the back of the manager's head without blinking, and continued to exert force with his palm, as if he wanted to lift him up with one hand.He maintained the holding posture in front of him, and pushed the other party into the living room in an orderly manner, "Princess...isn't she dead?"

Across the door, a strong smell of blood rushed to the face.Anna was still sitting on the sofa, the front of the long gown was soaked with blood, the uncoagulated plasma spread and dripped onto the long-haired carpet under her feet, leaving a large dark brown mark.

Xifa stepped forward to check, and said indifferently: "The fake hidden weapon wound is aimed at you."

Hearing this, the agent was shocked immediately, and said in a trembling voice with difficulty: "You, you have already seen it?"

The answer to him was only that the palms clamping the back of the neck exerted force again. Under the force, the cervical spine made a scalp-numbing "creak" sound as if it was overwhelmed.The agent's cheeks were flushed, his body tensed as if he was about to convulse, and he bent backward trembling.He barely stepped on the ground with his toes. Although his limbs were not restrained, he couldn't control himself. He couldn't even do the most basic backhand counterattack.

Is this guy human? !

"I didn't expect to leave a dead body to welcome us." Su Shichuan said calmly, "Brant's hands are also considered neat, I like it."

The voice fell, and with a soft "click", the Hidden Blade hidden in the mechanism popped out instantly, and the blow penetrated the agent's neck and came out from the throat.At the same time, all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room burst, glass shards splashed, ropes hung down, several men in black swung into the room, and the closed door rang again, and someone opened it from the outside.

"I think there are no omissions. Even the early stage deployment was carried out carefully, using various means to cover up, in order to prevent the people you put in to find out. What went wrong?" Brandt walked in slowly, smoothly Closing the door, he seemed to be puzzled, "You can't be sure of it, right? That would be too scary."

His tone was full of ridicule, and he couldn't hear any fear at all.Pulling out the handle of the lightsaber on the agent's waist, Su Shichuan threw the lifeless guy aside, and casually shook off the blood stained on the Hidden Sword, then turned to look at him, and said with a half-smile: "This can tell you Is it?"

"That's right, let's stop talking nonsense." Brant stood in front of the door, without any intention of coming over, and raised his chin at his subordinates, "Do it."

Thunder exploded in the sky, and the meeting hall was instantly illuminated by electric light.

After receiving the order, several black-clothed agents who were ready to fight moved at the same time.

"Counting Brant himself, only ten people entered." Cang Xingyun reminded at the right time, "There are still four people waiting for an opportunity to attack."

The bright sword blade was released, and several arcs of light interweaved a fiery net, surrounding it from all directions.In the blink of an eye, Su Xingchuan threw back the hilt of the sword in the exchange of fire, and then rolled on the spot to avoid the two people who were approaching with swords. When he went down, his hands stabilized the ground, his long legs swept away, and he fell down neatly one of them.At the same time, Xifa slashed his hands to catch the hilt of the sword, came like a shadow, and the arc slashed down, directly piercing through the chest and nailing the felled guy to the ground.

As soon as the two united, they split up, fighting each other and guarding each other's back. There seemed to be an indescribable tacit understanding in the silent cooperation.

Su Shichuan took the time to press the headset and ordered in a low voice: "Wait for me to remind you after it is resolved."

"Yes." Cang Xingyun said.

Seeing the target's lips move slightly, the agent facing him was taken aback for a moment. After a few seconds, he reacted, his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Boss, he is——!"

However, before he finished speaking, the hidden weapon pierced through the air first, his voice stopped abruptly, and his body seemed to freeze out of thin air.Su Shichuan got close in an instant, pinched the poisonous concealed weapon embedded in the neck with two fingers, retrieved it based on the principle of not wasting resources easily, and threw it back at a guy who was waiting for an opportunity to attack Xifa.

In just a few minutes, three professional agents were knocked down. Brandt didn't want to let the situation continue to deteriorate, so he immediately gave instructions to his subordinates who were lying outside.For the sake of caution, he chose what he thought was the safest deployment. The purpose of the nine people who came in for close combat was not to kill them, but to keep them behind.When the command is issued, the companions waiting outside will activate the timing device to detonate the pre-planted biochemical bomb.

Sacrificing nine subordinates who have been trained over the years in exchange for one foolproof, Brandt thinks that he is sure to make a profit.

At the same time, in the communication channel, Cang Xingyun said: "He has other preparations. The communicator of the person I solved received a garbled message. It should be just a signal."

Lifting his eyelashes, Su Shichuan quickly glanced at Brant from the corner of his eye: "Are you back?"

"It's just outside the door." Cang Xingyun said.

"Prepare—" Su Shichuan ordered in a low voice, then raised his head to look at Xifa, and said in a normal voice, "I leave this to you."

While talking, the two passed by each other, Xifa's lightsaber blocked the agent behind Su Shichuan, biting the blade, and sparks flew everywhere in an instant.

Brant was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that Su Shichuan escaped from the double-team at some point, and he was startled.

The man acted secretly and his position was erratic. The Alliance Army had conducted a thorough investigation of Su Shichuan, and Brandt knew well that the hidden weapons this man used well were full of shark poison that could see blood and seal his throat.But at this time, with a glimpse, he happened to see that the other party had raised his dominant right hand.

At the critical moment, Brandt reacted extremely quickly and dodged immediately.

The concealed weapon was thrown out, and the speed at close range was faster than usual, and it rubbed against the side of Brant's neck. With a "Dang", it wedged into the door panel, and the guy who missed the blow in front of him sighed regretfully!

That second seemed to be infinitely elongated, and cold sweat dripped down. Brandt hadn't experienced this kind of near-death experience for a long time.However, at the next moment, Brant watched helplessly as the other party made a movement—Su Shichuan raised his hand, placed two fingers beside his ear, and pressed down gently.

Anyone else?Where!Brant quickly scanned the living room with limited space.

Su Shichuan gave the second order: "Do it."

There was a crackling sound following the words. In the chaotic environment, he hardly attracted the attention of others, but Brant's body suddenly froze. After a while, he turned his eyes away from the person who had attracted his attention too much. Moving away, he looked down at his chest.

The bright blue sword edge of the lightsaber shot out from the chest, and the blood spilled over the blade and fell drop by drop on the floor under the two people's feet.

In order to facilitate the evacuation, he chose to stay by the door. He thought that the hunter was right in front of him, but he never expected that the step he took to avoid the hidden weapon made him step on the ground and fall into the trap.

On the other side of the door, Mr. Assassin withdrew his lightsaber. Instead of paying attention to the blood on the sword, he squeezed the five fingers holding the hilt, feeling that this thing is still not as easy to use as a hidden weapon.

"Come in," Su Shichuan's voice sounded, "It's time to clean up the aftermath."

In the reception room, Brandt slid down, and only then did the few remaining agents notice the abnormality.

Cang Xingyun pushed the door open, and the three of them cooperated tacitly to complete the clearing. He handed the lightsaber to Su Shichuan.

After finishing off the agents at hand, Xifa quickly turned around and walked towards Su Xingchuan, asking, "How are you doing?"

"Very good, not injured." Su Shichuan took the lightsaber, and then pointed it at Xifa in one go.Xifa stopped at his feet, and for a moment he couldn't see the other party's intention.Su Shichuan looked at him calmly, and explained: "The imperial agents attempted to assassinate the crown prince. This is the reason for you to stay. I will leave you with serious injuries, and Xingyun will guarantee that you will not die."

For no reason, Xifa thought of the scene when he found the dying Su Shichuan in the Guangming Cathedral many years ago.

However, he didn't have much time to think, Su Shichuan stepped forward directly, pointed at the lightsaber in his heart, and pierced his heart with a sword.

Xifa grunted in pain. Under the erosion of the terrifying burning sensation, he felt that his internal organs were about to melt. He looked up at Su Shichuan and murmured: "Shichuan..."

Cang Xingyun stared at the scene in front of him expressionlessly, and after a moment of silence, he pressed the headset and said to Shiqi: "You get ready, Boss will be there soon."

"I know." Seventeen replied.

With the sword drawn out, Su Shichuan stretched out his hand to hug Xifa, feeling the hot blood seeping in, he gently pressed his cheek against the side of the other's face: "I have played the role of multiple spies for so many years, now it's time for you to play the prince Revenge."

Sifa was fuzzy and could barely hear what he was saying.

Su Shichuan breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved: "I'll be waiting for you at White Emperor Star."
