merit book

Paco said nothing, and the spaceship immediately turned around and headed towards the direction the signal came from.

Rong Yuan frowned slightly, and said, "Paco, we don't know who is sending the signal." They are not the only spaceship on this route, and there must be other spaceships passing by within a day or two at most.When Rong Yuan was not sure about anything, he would rather give up the rescue and be deducted a certain amount of merit than cause trouble.

"Anytime and anywhere in the universe, as long as you encounter a distress signal, you must rescue. This is the custom and the law, Rong Yuan." Paco said disapprovingly, and for the first time when he looked at Rong Yuan, he showed displeasure. Yue's expression, "The universe is dark and cold, full of dangers, maybe if they miss this chance to be rescued, they—no matter who they are—will never have a next time."

Rong Yuan was speechless, and even felt unable to meet Paco's eyes.Paco chose to rescue out of humanitarianism, while Rong Yuan chose not to rescue out of prudence. In fact, he didn't think it was very dangerous, but he cared more about whether his journey would be better than one or more lives. smoothly.

"Well, since you said that." Rong Yuan agreed, but he also put forward a condition: "But if the person calling for help is suspicious...or I think he or they are suspicious, we will lock them up, don't ask me Why."

He has heavenly eyes, if he is a bad guy, he can see it at a glance.At least on a spaceship completely controlled by him, the degree of danger is manageable.Ideally, the other party is just an ordinary person who is in danger. If he is rescued and handed over to the police or a similar organization to send him home, that would be the best.Maybe the other party will bring them extra help out of gratitude.

"Of course, you are the captain. You have absolute rights." Paco immediately cheered up, and his attitude became intimate again. He insisted on rescue, but he had no opinion at all about how Rong Yuan should deal with the rescued person. Conventions underway.

……

The spacecraft flew for about two hours, and they finally found the person who asked for help.From a distance, it was just an inconspicuous rock, but after getting closer, it was discovered that it was a bhikkhu in a space suit. In other words, it was also an octopus.When he saw the spaceship, the tentacles were all dangling excitedly, desperately trying to attract their attention.

The speed of the spaceship slowed down and approached the octopus slowly. Then a mechanical claw popped out from the bottom of the spaceship and reached out to grab him quickly and precisely. Then the spaceship circled around a satellite and continued to head towards Bichu.

Paco and Rong Yuan went to meet this unexpected guest, and then decided what to do with him.The octopus didn't understand their plan at all, and when it saw its compatriot, it hugged it excitedly, with its tentacles almost wrapped around Paco's body, and said in multiple voices, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, you guys saved me. my life!"

Paco almost returned to his hometown after a narrow escape, and he hugged him very excitedly, with tears in his small eyes, and said affectionately: "You are safe, don't worry, you can go home, we can all go home!"

"Oh, brother, why are you more excited than me?" The strange octopus said a little puzzled. He recovered quickly, and he seemed to be used to the crises he encountered.It took some effort for the octopus to tear off Paco's tentacles wrapped around him. Seeing Paco's tears, he was very moved and said, "Although it's the first time we met, you care about me more than anyone else. You are such a good person. I love you." I like you! From today on, you are my friend."

"You are also my friend." Paco said emotionally, and suddenly remembered that this was not his own boat, turned around and asked, "What do you think, Rong Yuan?"

Rong Yuan looked behind for a long time, and now he stared at the strange octopus, and said, "The environment inside the spaceship is safe, why don't you take off your space suit?"

Rong Yuan's attitude was not very friendly, but the strange octopus didn't mind. He said carelessly: "Oh, I forgot!" The soft tentacles trembled and said: "Look, I'm not carrying any weapons, I'm safe." It seemed that he knew very well the reason why he was treated indifferently.

"What's your name?" Rong Yuan asked.

"Deb, my name is Deb." The octopus asked back, "How about you?"

"Why did you die?" Rong Yuan didn't answer him, but continued to ask.

"I'm the maintenance worker of the star network base station. You know, once there is a problem with the star network, I'm the kind of maintenance worker who only needs to tie a safety rope to change parts and change the wiring of the base station. Two days ago a meteorite It crashed into the base station, and the star network of the whole Bhiksu star was broken. I had no choice but to drive my small aircraft up to repair it. Unexpectedly, the situation was more serious than I thought. I just tried to smash the shell of the base station Moved it and it exploded. I was lucky not to be killed, but the safety line snapped and I was blown into a vacuum, where the craft was, probably damaged too."

Deb also took out a badge to show them, and Paco recognized it as the badge of the Star Network staff.There is also an automatic camera device on Deb's space suit. Although it was damaged in the explosion, some images can still be seen intermittently, which fully proves his identity.

At the same time, Rong Yuan also saw his merits - 89, not too much, it can only show that he is either a bad guy, or an ordinary octopus who rarely helps others, and has no ability or willingness to hurt others.

"You can stay." Rong Yuan said: "Also, don't wander around. We will arrive at Bhikkhu soon."

Rong Yuan could tell that Paco wanted to chat with him very much, so he turned and left after speaking.He heard Deb say to Paco in a low voice behind him: "Who is this guy? I've never seen anyone with such a weird look!"

Paco said: "His name is Rong Yuan, he is a good man, he is not of the same race as us."

"Well, I can see that." Deb couldn't help but said, "He's ugly beyond imagination."

"Don't say that!" Paco said angrily, "He saved my life and yours too! If you have any objections, you can leave the spaceship now!"

Although he was angry, but he was afraid of angering Rong Yuan, so he kept his voice very low.It's a pity that Rong Yuan's hearing power is beyond their imagination, although he has reached the top of the stairs and is far away from them, he can still hear the words of the two octopuses clearly.

Rong Yuan looked back at Deb - he was chubby, his round head seemed to be covered with a huge sarcoma, the fat was so crowded that the eyes were almost invisible, and his tentacles were short and small.His skin was grayish yellow, with many dark red spots of different shapes on it, as if he had a lot of pimples.All his exposed skin, if Rong Yuan read it correctly, is covered with a layer of cosmetics, making his entire octopus look shiny.

Compared with him, Paco, who looked like a monster in the eyes of people on earth, looked tall, mighty, handsome and strong.With such honor, how dare you call Rong Yuan ugly?

Rong Yuan only glanced at it before returning to the viewing platform, feeling unexpectedly calm.He is not angry at all, the aesthetics are different, there is nothing to argue about at all.

But it suddenly occurred to him that, as the same kind of creature, Paco's aesthetics are probably not far from Deb's. Doesn't that mean that in his eyes, all human beings on earth are too ugly to look at directly?
