Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【A Ghost Called Trembling】

Treant planet, central control room.

Chu Qingtian pulled out a chair and sat opposite Mu Qiu.

There was not even a table between the two of them, which made Mu Qiu a little embarrassed.

Chu Qingtian didn't care, and even enjoyed it.

Mu Qiu took a sip of water in a concealed manner, feeling that what Chu Qingtian was going to say next might not be simple, so he silently made enough mental preparations.

He likes to drink water when he is nervous - Chu Qingtian happily discovered another little habit of his sweetheart.

"Do you like to drink prickly juice?" He asked without warning.

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party's opening remarks to be so "lifelike".

He smiled as naturally as possible, and replied: "For me, it is just a plant in "Physical Geography." The thorn fruit is too precious and rare, and ordinary people have no chance to see it with their own eyes.

"Really?" Chu Qingtian smiled, and snapped his fingers in the air, "Xiaoshu, a big glass of juice, thank you!"

Mu Qiu didn't see anything at all—including the robot—just felt a faint mental wave in the air, and then, a glass of light blue juice suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, contained in a transparent crystal cup , gorgeous and inviting - the cup is really big, almost like a small jug.

Mu Qiu received it in surprise, and said with a dull face, "Thank you..."

"whee……"

Mu Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, and he swore he heard laughter, the voice was misty and ethereal, as if it came from another world.

He subconsciously looked at Chu Qingtian, and even took the initiative to drag the chair to move towards him.

Chu Qingtian took the opportunity to grab his hand and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, that's my friend, trembling."

"Trembling? Is it a formal name?" As soon as he asked this, Mu Qiu regretted it. Why was he bewitched by Xiao Luobo to ask such a question?

[Be quiet for now, and let you go out to play later. ] Mu Qiu quietly comforted this little guy who kept clamoring to make friends in the spiritual realm.

Chu Qingtian didn't notice his strangeness, but explained with a smile on his face: "The name was given by Aubrey."

Mu Qiu showed a clear smile, "It's no wonder...but it's quite cute."

"Xiaoshuo said thank you for your compliment. Also, please try the juice and refill it for free." Chu Qingtian conveyed it with a smile.

"Okay..." Mu Qiu picked up the gorgeous cup and took a small sip.

In fact, before he drank it, he was already fascinated by the fragrant taste - not as sweet as ordinary fruit juice, but with a light aroma similar to plant branches and leaves, which is both special and delicious.

Without Mu Qiu opening his mouth, his attitude can be seen from his intoxicated expression.

"Hee hee hee……"

Mu Qiu heard another burst of laughter, and more obvious mental fluctuations, as if something was circling around him.

"Is it your spiritual body?" Mu Qiu thought for a while before asking.Speaking of which, he had never seen Chu Qingtian's spiritual body.

Chu Qingtian smiled and shook his head, took his hand, "Want to see it?"

Mu Qiu froze, instinctively wanting to refuse.

"Relax, close your eyes." Chu Qingtian didn't give him time to refuse, and there was an air of refusal in his gentle voice.

Chu Qingtian's voice was clear and pleasant, which made Mu Qiu instinctively feel at ease, so he couldn't help doing the same.

Chu Qingtian smiled slightly, leaned forward, put his other hand behind Mu Qiu's head, their foreheads touched, and their warm breaths were intimately intertwined.

Mu Qiu felt extremely awkward, and instinctively wanted to resist.

"Don't be afraid..." The clear voice rang in my ears, full of smiles.

Mu Qiu froze, wanting to end this strange contact.However, before he could open his mouth, Chu Qingtian's dense mental threads came overwhelmingly, and Mu Qiu's spirit flickered, as if suddenly weightless, and he almost lost consciousness for a moment.

Fortunately, this process was very short. In the next moment, Mu Qiu seemed to open his "eyes" and saw another world.

Countless light spots flickered in the air, like fine dust covering the entire space. Among all the small light spots, there was a fist-sized light spot dangling mischievously in front of Mu Qiu, faintly revealing human facial features.

There is no feeling of fear at all, but... very beautiful.

For a moment, Mu Qiu seemed to see the flowers blooming and falling, and the stars flowing, as if he had become a witness of time, sitting and watching the disappearance and birth of life, the feeling was too mysterious to describe.

However, it also consumes mental energy.

Just when Mu Qiu felt a little tired, Chu Qingtian withdrew his mental thread in time.

"Are you okay?" Chu Qingtian patted Mu Qiu's face lightly, trying to get his attention back.

After a while, Mu Qiu broke away from that wonderful state and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"It's the soul." Some souls are disappearing, and some souls will last forever because of their strength.

Mu Qiu was shocked, "Is this... the ability of the sentinel?"

In the past, Mu Qiu had more or less disdain for this kind of species with well-developed five senses and restlessness when seeing a guide. It was not until "seeing" the scene just now that he realized how ignorant the disdain was—the ability of the sentinel And contribution, enough for them to enjoy their own pride.

In front of his sweetheart, Chu Qingtian doesn't want to be humble at all.He raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly: "To be precise, it is a small, very, powerful, sentinel ability."

Seeing the other party's radiant look, Mu Qiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a warm smile bloomed on his delicate face.

Chu Qingtian tried his best to restrain himself so that he didn't hold him in his arms. Of course, in the spiritual realm, he didn't know how many cynicisms he heard.

"I saw Shiver just now." Mu Qiu spoke briskly, like a happy child.

Chu Qingtian hummed, and said slowly: "I met him when I was in the military academy, it has been 20 years now..."

Mu Qiu's face was a little strange, "How old are you now?"

Chu Qingtian's expression froze, hesitating between saying or not.

Mu Qiu sipped the thorny juice while looking forward to his answer.

Chu Qingtian's heart was broken, and he said quickly: "Thirty! — By the way, trembling said that he likes you very much."

Haha, so I care about age so much!

Mu Qiu accidentally discovered Captain Chu's cute side. Mu Qiu desperately suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, and raised his glass, "I like him too. There is also thorn juice, which tastes great."

Of course, Chu Qingtian didn't miss the flashing smile on his sweetheart's face, and resumed his careless look like a broken jar.

On the contrary, Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief - as expected, Captain Chu is normal like this.

But Chu Qingtian sighed in his heart - it seems that he still can't push people too tightly.

-

Next, it's time to get down to business.

"You must have discovered that this planet is not in the Federation's records." Chu Qingtian said straight to the point.

Mu Qiu nodded. It would be very difficult to find this point based on his knowledge and ability alone. However, he has a cheating program called A Luo, and the information A Luo gave him did not mention this place at all. Obviously, even he checked it out. The "secret" that can't be reached.

Chu Qingtian continued: "This is the private property of the Tianlong team. To be precise, it is the property of me, Lu Xun, Lin Qing, and Aubrey. Now there is one more you."

"Industry...are those flowers?" After Mu Qiu finished speaking, he realized that his focus had shifted again, and he added annoyedly, "You mean...plus me?"

Chu Qingtian smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's selling flowers, would you like to join?"

Mu Qiu's face was a little strange, and he said puzzledly: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have business experience, I don't have much ability, and I don't have a strong family background..."

"You have technology." Chu Qingtian interrupted him, "I know you have been hiding your clumsiness all this time. I'm afraid your attainments in energy have already surpassed those instructors in the Military Academy?" Although it was a question, his tone In is not a question, but an affirmation.

"So, you just need me to change the energy supply here?" Mu Qiu grasped the core of the problem.

"That's all?" Chu Qingtian laughed, "You underestimate your own ability, Mr. Mechanic. I think you know better than me how many Bianxing children can be fed by the energy boards consumed by a biological warehouse of this scale every day."

It has to be said that Chu Qingtian gave a good example, which made Mu Qiu pay attention.

He thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, can I help you change the energy supply device, or...you have to join the group to gain your trust?"

Chu Qingtian laughed suddenly, and patted him on the head affectionately, "You think too much, if you don't trust me, I won't bring you here in the first place. What's more, you have neither 'great ability' nor ' Strong family background', if we betray, can't we handle it?"

I have to say, this is the truth.Mu Qiu paused and said calmly, "I need to think about it."

"Okay." Chu Qingtian responded bluntly, "During this period, you can walk around the area, this area is very safe, don't worry. Of course, if you have fancy flowers and plants, please feel free, I will pay for it."

Mu Qiu nodded, feeling slightly relaxed because of his joke.

"By the way, did I tell you that we have to stay here for a while." Chu Qingtian said seriously.

Mu Qiu scorned him fiercely in his heart, and then replied blankly: "Yes, you said it."

Chu Qingtian smiled, "Very good."—the look of wanting to explode but desperately holding back, very good.

Mu Qiu opened his mouth, but still couldn't help asking: "About how many days, can you tell me?" If possible, he must report to the left-behind child Pumpkin.

"Of course, you'll soon be a partner, and have the right to know our schedule—five working days, and after five days, we'll go back whether the other party comes or not. And—"

Chu Qingtian paused for a moment, the smile on his face remained undiminished, but his tone could not be refused, "You don't need to address me with an honorific title, otherwise I will think you are losing your temper because I didn't tell you in advance."

"Yes, Captain." Mu Qiu didn't notice the ambiguity of his words, but just gave a very formal military salute, more formal than using an honorific title.

Chu Qingtian was both helpless and happy - what should he do if his sweetheart is so arrogant?
