As a famous tourist planet, Bhikkhu Star, in addition to their unique underwater cities, the large and small islands on the sea have also been fully developed for various functions.For example, Lianlian Island is a well-known characteristic island with the theme of love. After hundreds of years of continuous improvement and transformation, Lianlian Island has already gained a very loud reputation in the alliance.

From time to time, various colored petals or shining stars and ribbons fall in the sky. The flowers are like a sea, colorful, and couples of lovers wander in it, whispering, very sweet.

Under a flower stand covered with small pink and purple flowers, a bhikkhu star occupied most of the bench, and the delicate white chair creaked under his pressure, which was very pitiful.This bhikkhu star was wearing a bucket-like hat, with his head lowered, and his tentacles kept patting the ground lightly, appearing a little anxious.The lovers who passed by here saw him like this, they all thought he was waiting for their lover, so they tacitly went to other places.

In the air, a flying car in the shape of a butterfly floats slowly. The rear of the flying car sprinkles countless colorful bubbles, which refract and change infinite light. Fine gold dust.They fluttered down, and the sky was filled with transparent bubbles for a while, with tiny golden lights shining in the middle. The Bhikkhu star sitting on the chair couldn't help but look up. , he realized that there was another person standing in front of him at some point.

Gray skin, brown circular stripes, none of the ten antennae are particularly thick or slender, no decorations, no work badges, gray eyes drooping, not very energetic, but the eyes have been staring at him, at first glance Seeing some infiltration.

The Bhikkhu star sitting on the bench looked at him without changing his expression.

The gray octopus looked at him for a while, and then said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Paco?" The loose skin and flesh on his face were piled up and drooped, and his lips could not be seen moving when he spoke, which made his voice muffled.

Paco undoes the deformation of the mimetic suit, and looks bruised, but that face is indeed his.After proving his identity, he activated the mimic suit again to cover his face, and then asked, "You also used the mimic suit?"

"Too eye-catching." Gray Octopus explained simply.

"Exactly." Paco nodded in understanding.

"I saw they took you away." The gray octopus said slowly, as if he didn't care about Paco's injuries, and asked perfunctorily, "How did you escape?"

"There are people helping inside." Paco replied immediately, seemingly not paying attention to his indifferent attitude.

"Oh." The gray octopus responded and stopped talking.

Several young people chased and ran past them, giggling and giggling all the way. Compared to the brilliance, Paco and the gray octopus seemed to have naturally created a shadow around them.

After a long silence, Paco couldn't help asking, "Don't you want to ask something else?"

"Say what you want." The gray octopus said lazily, "I'm listening."

His attitude was so submissive and perfunctory that it was hard to want to stay any longer.Even though Paco had a good temper, he couldn't help roaring in his heart - can he still talk properly?

Paco's chest rose and fell, and the two tentacles on the back of the chair couldn't help curling up. He endured and endured, and finally suppressed his anger, and said gently: "Anyway, I want to thank you for being here on Water Blue Star." Saved me. Don't worry, I won't tell others about this, and don't tell others that you entered the restricted area, otherwise there will be endless troubles, Kayul Company will not let us go."

"In that case, won't you hurt me when you meet me?" the gray octopus said unceremoniously.

An angry look flashed across Paco's face involuntarily. The gray octopus looked at Luo Hua next to him with a distracted gaze, not noticing the change in his expression.Paco glared at him sternly, then lowered his eyes, smiled wryly, and said in embarrassment: "I don't want to cause you any trouble, but the thing I gave you before is very important, can you give it to me first?" give me back?"

"What?" The gray octopus finally raised some interest, and raised its voice a little bit, but it still had the dead look on its face, and only turned its eyes back to Paco.

Paco suddenly thought that it seemed that he hadn't blinked his eyes for such a long time, and felt a little weird in his heart.But now his main concern is not this, Paco said eagerly: "A black metal ball the size of a suction cup, don't you remember?"

The gray octopus pondered for a moment, and then said, "I haven't seen that kind of thing, but you remember it wrong."

Parker paused for a moment, then turned to say: "I put it on the spaceship when I left, can you go and look for it with me? Help, we are friends, aren't we? Without that, I'm dead."

The gray octopus refused without hesitation: "No."

Paco thought he had heard it wrong, and asked incredulously, "...What did you say?"

"I can't take you to my ship."

"Why?" Pakko stood up abruptly and asked with wide-eyed eyes, then he seemed to understand, and smiled angrily, "Okay, okay, what do you want? Money, a spaceship? Or something else? Make an offer, as long as I can give it to you, I will do my best, please return that thing to me!"

The gray octopus still shook its head slowly and said, "No."

"Give me a reason." Paco said coldly.

"Because you are not him." The gray octopus said plainly.

Paco froze for a moment, all anger and resentment disappeared from his face, he sat down slowly without any excuse, stared at the gray octopus for a while, and said in a low voice: "I don't understand what you mean."

"For example..." Gray Octopus asked the simplest question: "Do you know my name? Tell me."

He had noticed a long time ago that Paco had never called his name once in such a long time, not even when he greeted him at the very beginning, not to mention Deb, who died unjustly.

"Paco" chuckled, relaxed his body, and asked, "How did you find out?"

"There are too many flaws, I don't even bother to talk about it. You shouldn't think that you can fool someone you don't know by changing into someone else's appearance by using a mimic suit." Gray Octopus still didn't care about anything. , The lazy tone makes people feel itchy.

"The mimetic clothing that can transform twice is a new invention of the Academy of Sciences, and the media with the most sensitive sense of smell has never heard of it. So I thought that after showing a layer of transformation, your identity would not be suspected by you, but I was really careless. " Pseudo Paco spread out his tentacles and said helplessly, "You are right, we got too little information from Paco, and we know almost nothing about you. But I still want to know, in such a short time, Where the hell am I supposed to be? If I remember correctly, you're barely even looking at me."

His tone was sincere and full of curiosity, Gray Octopus replied: "Look."

"Eyes?" Pseudo-Pakuo stretched out its tentacles to touch the eyes, and then heard the gray octopus say: "His eyes remind me of my best friend; and your eyes remind me of poisonous snakes."

False Paco caught a word, and said with a smile: "You must have been born on a terrestrial livable planet, and a terrestrial intelligent creature, otherwise you wouldn't use a poisonous snake as a metaphor. Interesting, the livable planet that Paco has been to There are not many stars, even if you don't tell me, I can still find out your birthplace. But there is no need for this, I think we will reach a happy cooperation soon."

"I do not think so."

"Don't be so sure, young man, think clearly before answering." Pseudo-Paco's tone was filled with hateful determination and self-confidence, and he said, "If you agree, I can give you money, status, and beauty. The most important thing The good thing is, you can continue to live. But if you refuse as stupidly as that friend, I'm afraid something very unpleasant will happen between us."

The gray octopus—that is, Rong Yuan pondered for a moment, and asked: "I don't understand, why am I involved in this kind of trouble? You are looking for me with great fanfare, and you are trying to set traps, is it because I am from Landia?" ?”

He noticed that since they officially started talking, no one passed by this place, not even the noise of tourists frolicking, only the birds hiding in the branches occasionally uttered a few short calls.

"Of course not, why do you think so? Landia and us are also cooperating countries!" The fake Paco laughed, and asked incredulously, "Don't you know? Did Paco not tell you anything?"

Rong Yuan was silent, he didn't know what he should know.

"Oh my god, my son! I know you believe in Paco, that's why you took the risk to see me. But you have to know, not everyone is what they seem on the surface." False Paco pointed like a generous elder The younger generation said, "Let me tell the truth."

Then Rong Yuan heard a story about how a despicable, shameless, insidious and cunning bhikkhu used his race's good reputation and simple and honest appearance to deceive everyone around him, and crawled towards Kayul Company stepping on the bones of his companions. High-level, two of his closest friends were killed by him.By chance, Paco caught a handle of a company, and then ignored the company's long-term cultivation and trust in him, intending to use this handle to threaten the company to seize greater benefits.As a result, he was chased by interstellar hunters (equivalent to the police of the Milky Way Alliance) and strayed into the restricted area of ​​the star field.The metal ball mentioned by the fake Paco earlier is the handle that Paco holds, and the Kayul Company will take it back at all costs.

"What is the reason?" Rong Yuan's tone seemed to be asking - "What outrageous things have you done?"

Pseudo-Paco smiled bitterly and said, "It is the new drug formula and research records that our company has spent many years developing. This drug will save countless people, but it is inevitable... you know... that there will be some casualties during the experiment. We will also try our best It has made up to the family of the deceased, but if it is released, it will give competitors a reason to attack us. And those formulas... once obtained by others, our years of hard work will be in vain."

The gray octopus nodded, and the fake Paco just smiled when he heard Rong Yuan say: "The story is very exciting, but unfortunately I don't believe a word of it."

False Paco's face froze, his tone became stern, and he asked, "Do you want to toast or not?"

The gray octopus with dead fish eyes sitting across from him let out a low chuckle: "Do you think...you are the only one who came up with the idea of ​​double-layer camouflage?"

Pseudo-Paco reacted abruptly, and hit the gray octopus forcefully with one of its tentacles. The gray octopus did not dodge or evade, and was shot out like a kite with a broken string. It hit its head in the middle of the flowers, the air on the surface of its body fluctuated, and then the mimetic effect disappeared. , revealing a chubby, wretched-looking gray octopus with its mouth open, looking goofy and delirious.

False Paco roared, and stabbed the gray octopus with its tentacles like a sword, then threw the limp corpse away, shouting: "Find him for me!!!"

In the flowers, in the bushes, on the trees, under the low table... Around him, countless black shadows jumped in all directions.

……

Rong Yuan played with the [mind-controlling microphone] in his hand, and sighed: "It's not easy for Bhiksu Xing to find a guy with negative merits who can be used as bait, so he was killed just like that."

Pea muttered: "I said it was a trap, but what if I was tracked back by them?"

Noah No. [-] retorted weakly: "Although I am not the main body, my ability is not so bad."

Rong Yuan raised his hand, stopped the two of them from continuing to argue, and turned to look behind him.

He stood on the top floor of the control tower of the amusement facility in Lianlian Island. Before he came, he confirmed that no one would come here. He also set up alarm devices along the way. In case of danger, he had already planned the retreat route.

But now, none of the alarms sounded, but there were soft footsteps coming from the stairs behind him.
