Bamboo mouse spirit is also trying to survive today

Although he has been in the Federation for a while, Bai Shu has always lived in a small circle, and there are only a few people he knows well.

The name Claire was completely unfamiliar to him.Since the other party's name was printed on the uniform, he must be a prominent figure, but he didn't know who it was at all.

Bai Shu tried to call out his optical brain, but as expected, there was no movement.

Under the current situation, he was obviously kidnapped. As long as the kidnapper was not too stupid, he would definitely destroy all his communication equipment and not give him the possibility to escape.

Bai Shu couldn't help frowning, opened his eyes, blinked a few times to get used to the suddenly intense light, and then looked down at his waist locked on the bed.

He slowly reached out to touch the metal material, tested the hardness a little, then let go of his hand, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

At the position where he was tentatively pressing, there was a round shallow pit the size of a fingertip.

After all, the kidnappers underestimated his physique and chose the wrong material to limit his ability to move.

As long as he thinks, this metal ring can't be an obstacle at all, and he can break free at any time.

With confidence in his mind, Bai Shu didn't look panicked.He propped up his body and skillfully covered the mark where the metal ring was pushed out by himself, and calmly looked at the door.

He sensed someone coming.

There was a subtle recognition sound at the door, and the heavy door opened automatically at random.

About half a second later, a tall and straight middle-aged man walked in, dressed in a neat uniform, his steps were unhurried, but with a strong imposing manner.

The moment he stepped through the door, he saw that Bai Shu had woken up, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, which was fleeting.

"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"

The four eyes met, the man's tone was very flat and gentle, as if he was naturally concerned about Bai Shu.

If it wasn't for the metal ring around his waist restricting his freedom, Bai Shu would almost have thought that the other party was really kind, a good person who saved him from being kidnapped.

He looked at the middle-aged man quietly, did not answer the other's question, his body was slightly tense, and he was very vigilant.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that this person's appearance and figure were somewhat similar to Edwin's.

No, compared to the young Edwin, this person looked more like Edwin's father he had met once, a serious man of middle age at that age.

Seeing that Bai Shu didn't say a word, the middle-aged man was not annoyed, he didn't have much expression on his face, and opened his mouth again.

"My name is Claire, I hope you remember."

His tone was very domineering, as if it was an order, asking Bai Shu to imprint his name on his heart.

A dark color flashed across Bai Shu's eyes, but he didn't respond.

Claire.He said the name silently in his mind.

Judging by the markings on the uniforms worn by those on the periphery of the room, this man was probably their leader.

From this point of view, it seems that this person may be the instigator of his kidnapping, and it is also very likely that he is behind the previous series of events.

What is the purpose of the other party?

Bai Shu is very sure that he is not the real target of the other party.

He has no grudges with this Claire in the past, and the other party has no reason to regard him as an enemy when he comes up, and even kidnaps him.

Facing the silent Bai Shu, Claire seemed to be very patient, and continued to talk to Bai Shu on his own.

"It's not my intention to invite you to be my guest in such an unsightly way, but I didn't expect that you would also go to the Federation's Ancient Earth Heritage Protection Institute today."

"I know Edwin very well, and I thought he would definitely let you ask for leave to temporarily avoid the public opinion on the Internet, but I didn't expect you to go to the protection institute anyway, interfering with the actions of my subordinates."

As he said that, the man seemed to snort coldly, his expression revealing a bit of sinisterness.

"I guessed wrong about Edwin's decision this time."

Bai Shu lowered his head and pursed his lips, realizing that these words meant that the video released on the optical network yesterday was indeed inspired by the person in front of him.

The other party wanted to use the uproar caused by the video to restrain him, so that he was kept at home by Edwin, and then sent people to the Ancient Earth Heritage Protection Institute to do other operations while he was away.

The man said he knew Edwin well, which was probably true.

After all, Edwin's attitude is very strong and he wants him to stay at home. The reason why he will go to work is completely his own insistence. If he does according to Edwin's arrangement, he will be completely with this man. match the plan.

His decision became the only variable in the man's plan.

Bai Shu's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that the strange fluctuations he detected with his spiritual sense in the Ancient Earth Heritage Protection Institute were probably Claire's subordinates, lurking in the dark.

It was he who discovered them first, reminded Edwin, and made the entire protection house vigilant, hindering Claire's plan.

From this point of view, it seems reasonable that he was kidnapped here by the other party.

"What do you want to do?" After a long silence, Bai Shu finally spoke and asked Claire a short and general question.

Seeing that he finally reacted, the gloom between Claire's brows and eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.

"I don't want to do anything to you."

"I want the whole Commonwealth."

He spoke surprisingly, but his tone was calm, as if what he was talking about was not a major rebellion, but an insignificant matter.

Bai Shu's heart sank suddenly.

If the other party was just an ordinary kidnapper, he didn't need to worry about anything, but since the other party was a rebel from the Federation, he must have a powerful force, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to say such a thing.

Claire finished her purpose lightly, and looked down at Bai Shu a few times with condescending eyes.

"Since you are here as my guest, don't think about returning to the Federation anymore."

Although the overall development of the rebel army is not as good as that of the Federation, the tracks have always been well hidden, and the space jumping device is much more advanced than the Federation.

So even if Ned took Bai Shu away in public, the Federation would definitely be at a loss and couldn't find a good way to find it here.

And he tied Bai Shu to his hands, so of course it is impossible to let him go.

But he didn't intend to deal with Bai Shu directly.

In fact, Claire has never been a benevolent leader.

Compared with Edwin, he is a stronger and more decisive existence. According to his usual way of dealing with the world, Bai Shu shouldn't have lived until now, and should have been directly killed in a coma.

But with Bai Shu, he hesitated for the first time, creating this exception.

"We will have a lot of time to get to know each other," Clare said, while giving Bai Shu a meaningful look.

"You can slowly make your choice, stay and serve me freely, or live here forever as you are now."

In any case, it is impossible for Bai Shu to leave the base.

Freedom is only relative, allowing Bai Shu to move freely inside the base.

If Bai Shu refused to serve him, he would not kill him, but put him under house arrest.

Of course, in this way, it will inevitably bring a lot of potential troubles, it is far less easy and simple than killing Bai Shu.

Claire told herself that the reason why she made such a decision was just to add a bargaining chip that could restrain Edwin.

The old man over a hundred years old found a high-sounding reason for his abnormal decision-making.

After he calmly said what he wanted to say, he turned and left without looking at Bai Shu's reaction.

Leaving the room and closing the door, his mind was still full of the ignorant and innocent look on Bai Shu's round face.

In the final analysis, the reason why he didn't kill Bai Shu was because his heart softened the moment he saw the other party, and the other reasons were just reasons he used to convince himself.

The emotion of being soft-hearted is undoubtedly unfamiliar to him, after all, Claire has never been soft-hearted and hesitant.So much so that when it appeared unexpectedly, the old man was completely disorganized and confused himself.

Watching Claire leave, Bai Shu's face remained expressionless, and his heart was in a mess.

No, he is obviously just an innocent little bamboo mouse, who just wants to keep his own place and raise plants and grow land, and then look for his brother Adi.

What do these complex struggles between humans have to do with him?Why did such bad luck fall on his head in such a way?

Just for a moment, he saw Claire's forced smile that was not a smile on the surface, and he even began to miss Edwin's crappy smile.

The expressions of these two similar-looking men were almost identically serious and indifferent, and their forced smiles were also similarly stiff.The only difference is that Edwin's smile is derived from being gentle towards him, while Claire's smile is just a simple expression.

There is no doubt that he is of course unwilling to do things for this Claire.

After all, no matter where you look at it, Edwin treats him better. After getting along for so many days, Edwin is always a really good person, patient and gentle with him, wishing he could pamper him more than Adi.

He likes Edwin.This is the first time he really likes a human being.

Bai Shu bowed his head and pondered for a while, trying to pull himself together.

It doesn't seem to be particularly bad when things have developed like this.At least Claire didn't realize he wasn't human, and didn't intend to take his life.

But Clare forced him to stay, what exactly did he expect him to do for the other party?

Bai Shu couldn't help frowning, thinking that this is really a question worth thinking about.

His work in the Federal Institute of Ancient Earth Heritage Protection is related to ancient earth plants. If he was tied up here, could he still be able to do the same work?

Or, Claire heard from Ned that his physique and mental strength are good, and hoped that he would charge into battle?

Under the wild thinking, Bai Shu couldn't help shivering, and even imagined the scene where he was forced to meet Edwin in the future.

Suddenly, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head——

His thoughts were interrupted by a voice from the spiritual communication.

There actually exists a goblin like him here?

The next moment, another weak sigh came from the divine consciousness, which immediately made Bai Shu's heart beat a little faster.

He tentatively used his spiritual sense to contact the other party, and asked, [Who are you? ]
