Abandoned Lover [Future]
Chapter 28
Green Star, south of Cornova, in a hotel room in the land of no night.
The sturdy young man with short dirty blond hair was looking at the encrypted message that appeared on his terminal in doubt.
The youth's name was Benoit Lafayette.He was Eugene's original opponent in this round of wrestling. After Eugene withdrew, he was unscathed and automatically entered the top sixteen.
With two retirements in a row, it can be said that it was bad luck, or it could be said that someone has tampered with it behind the scenes.Benoa himself did not have any judgment on this, but continued to prepare for the next game with some confusion.
However, before the list of opponents for the next match was officially announced, the message he just received actually said that he was already qualified to make a wish.
Secret letters from the alliance government/government have a special encryption method. When opened, the virtual wax with the alliance coat of arms will be displayed, and when closed, it will be automatically destroyed from the terminal.Benoa roughly judged that this was not a fake message, and kept scrolling to the end, repeatedly looking at the other party's list of preparations needed to make a wish, and his mind gradually went blank.
... If all this is not false, then maybe he can really bring the girl he loves back to the world.
"Sir, I need Ellie's bones."
When making the call, the young man's hands and voice were trembling.
……
72 hours after sailing away from the green star, the Red Squirrel finally arrived at the first prescribed transition point.The transition points and distances in the center are strictly controlled, and after this jump, half of their voyage away from the center will be completed.
Before the jump, Eugene was worried that Xiao's body would react badly to it.However, the facts proved that the physique of the machine was much stronger than that of the human, and it was Eugene himself who turned pale.
Simple medical equipment was placed on the ship. After confirming that Eugene's previous wound had not been torn again, Miles quickly carried him back to the cabin.He reached out and tried Eugene's forehead, and found that there were signs of fever, turned around and left again.
When the cabin door opened again, someone brought water and medicine to relieve the side effects of the jump.Looking up, Eugene found that the person standing there was not Miles, but Xiao.
"Myles was stopped by the navigator, and he asked me to bring the medicine." Xiao stretched out his hand to Eugene, "Can you sit up?"
Eugene sat up on his own support, and waved his hands: "It's not a serious matter."
After taking the medicine in Xiao's hand, Eugene pulled the blanket and wrapped himself up tightly, preparing to sleep through the time his body needed to adjust with a deep sleep.Outside the blanket, Xiao asked him in a low voice: "Can I wait until you fall asleep before leaving?"
Eugene said nothing.Seconds later, he felt Shaw sit down beside his bed.The cyborg occupied a small area, and Eugene's calf could feel the vague body temperature of the other through the thin blanket and clothes.
His feverish body began to feel cold, and Eugene subconsciously changed his position, increasing the contact surface between his legs and the biochemical human body.Xiao looked at him sideways, took off his thin coat, and gently covered Eugene's shoulders.
Then he lowered his head and silently warmed his fingertips with a slightly lower body temperature than humans with his breath, and placed them beside Eugene's hand through a thin blanket.
I don't know how long it took, but Eugene became slightly unconscious from the fever.His right hand subconsciously leaned towards his side, and when it was supposed to fail, someone accurately held his hand and squeezed it with a real but not heavy force.
--I am here.
The comfort brought by such movements made Eugene's breathing gradually calm down.
... Day and night aboard the Red Squirrel were manually controlled while sailing.When it should be "night", there will be two crew members remaining on the pilot's seat to watch the night, and most of the lights in the passenger cabin and the main cabin will be turned off, leaving only the guide lights on both sides of the aisle.
When Eugene woke up, it was the so-called late night.Xiao's coat was still covering his shoulders, and his body was covered with thin sweat after the fever subsided.
The person next to the bed was gone.Eugene thought for a while, picked up Xiao's coat, and stepped out of the hatch.He walked to Xiao's cabin and looked around, only to find that the other party was not there.When he walked out of the cabin, he saw Xiao standing in front of the largest window in the main cabin, with his back turned to him, looking out the window.
The main cabin is dark, but outside the window is a long, bright belt of stars.Countless fine and dazzling white light spots spread unscrupulously in front of the eyes, mixed with purple and bright yellow halos, giving a sense of magnificence that takes one's breath away.
At this moment, Xiao turned to him.
In this dim scene, the light-colored skin of the biochemical man faintly reflects the starlight outside the window, like a gentle and quiet luminous body.His eyes were filled with shattered stars, and part of his eyelashes and hair were almost transparent, blending perfectly with the scene behind him.
It is a kind of eternal beauty that does not belong to the world.
Such Xiao, when he saw Eugene, smiled slightly.
Eugene's knuckles gripped Shaw's coat tightly.He looked at Xiao and felt that he saw the moment when a god possessed a human soul.
"You feel better?"
Xiao's voice was very soft, as if there was someone sleeping beside him who didn't want to wake up.Eugene nodded, walked to his side, and handed over the clothes in his hand.
"Thank you for the coat."
Xiao took it naturally.
The two looked out the window quietly at the same time, and then Eugene heard Xiao say: "...I should be the one thanking you."
Eugene turned his head.The bright stars reflected on Xiao's gray-blue irises, as if they had fallen into a magnificent glacier.
"Thank you for giving me freedom and allowing me to see such a view."
"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be like I am now..." Xiao stopped, as if thinking about the next sentence: "...I feel that I am a very lucky thing to be created."
Eugene lowered his eyes.
"Let's talk about this kind of thing after we leave the center. It's too early now."
Xiao didn't refute him.
After a moment of silence, Eugene raised his eyes to Xinghe again: "Aren't you uneasy or curious about where you are going and what you will do in the future?"
"Maybe I should feel that way. But probably because I'm with you, I don't feel uneasy." Xiao's voice was calm and deep. "As for curiosity, you always tell me what I need to know. If you don't say it, it's probably not the time for me to know."
Facing such undisguised trust, Eugene suddenly had the idea of retreating and dodging.He didn't want to tell Xiao his plans for the future right now, because that would directly expose the fact that he was going to leave him eventually.
At some point, Xiao had already turned around, and he could clearly see the guilt flashing across Eugene's face at this moment.
"When I'm with you, I feel very happy."
He still let the words he had been wanting to say come out.
When Eugene raised his head, what he saw was Xiao's gentle smile as usual.
……
Lying in his cabin that night, Eugene thought over and over of Shaw's last words.
——No one has ever said such a thing to him, so he has never known that he has the ability to make people feel happy.
That sentence is obviously very simple, but it carries a faint and lasting temperature.It can warm the cold hands and feet, and let the frozen blood slowly turn over again.
So even if he rejects the future with Xiao, he still lacks the ability to resist such a moment.
He wants to be loved.
He also wants to be happy.
...In the main cabin, Xiao was still like a statue, silently facing the quiet Xinghui in front of him.
After a long time, he lowered his head, picked up the coat that was once on Eugene's shoulders, closed his eyes, and silently felt the faint smell of tobacco remaining on it.
……
Three days after the first jump, the Red Squirrel reached the last supply point in the Nexus, Long Star.
Miles and the three crew members were going to do some shopping. Eugene wanted to help, but was stopped by Miles.
"It's hard to come here once, let's take the children for a stroll." He lowered the volume and leaned into Eugene's ear: "This is the only place in the center where brothers can have a good time, please don't make trouble .”
Changxing is the biggest gambling planet in the center, and it also has legal prostitution.Eugene understood immediately, and said goodbye to Miles dumbfounded.
It is also the first time he has come to Changxing-this is a planet with a distinct personality that is different from Green Star.The atmosphere and ecological environment have undergone a series of adjustments, and the speed of day and night is much faster than that of Green Star. No matter where it is on the planet, it is humid and hot all year round.
In the clear tropical atmosphere, Eugene lit his first cigarette in a few days.He took a deep breath of the white mist, then turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, and smiled at Xiao behind him: "Let's go and have a look."
……
At the same time, Green Star, Cornova, and a laboratory in the White Tower area.
A man of some age, wearing a gorgeous red and black uniform, stood in front of a glass wall, staring at the room behind the wall.In the pure white circular room, several researchers wearing full protective suits were standing on the periphery holding writing pads for recording, and they were looking at the center of the room with serious expressions.
There, quietly suspended a metal ball the size of a child's head.Its surface is engraved with geometric shapes—polylines, dots, circles.Under the strokes of the graphics, there is a thin, firefly blue light, which looks innocent and fragile.
And right in front of this sphere, stood a young man with short dirty blond hair.
Benoit Lafayette's heart was beating wildly.His broad head and face were covered with fine sweat, and his hair stuck to his forehead and temples in a mess.While breathing heavily, he bent down and put the wooden box he had been holding in his arms on the ground.
Then he knelt down, took the white bones out of the box with trembling hands, and arranged them neatly on the ground.
——Besides the glass wall, a soldier in a red and black uniform approached the silent man before, and whispered, "General, the preparations for 'Making a Wish' are ready."
The man called the general was the leader of the alliance's three generals, the "Iron Hand" Tiev.Even though he was over 50 years old, his figure was quite tall and tall. There were not many traces of weather on his dark skin. Except for his silver hair, he looked no different from someone in his [-]s.
Tiev didn't move, just said "Let's get started" in a low voice.
His voice was slow and cold, with a strange hoarseness, reminiscent of the sound of a snake spitting out a letter.
The soldier beside him nodded, then turned around and gave some low order on the communicator.
A few minutes later, Benoa in the room reached out to the ball.
- People outside the room cannot hear the voices of the people in the room.In the scene that could be seen, Benoa held the ball in his arms and moved his lips.
On the surface of the sphere, a closed metal-like eye quickly appeared.
The moment that eye opened, all the researchers squeezed the writing boards in their hands.
Then under everyone's gaze, the tall Benoa melted quickly.
His flesh and blood seemed to be baked hot wax, dripping drop by drop, melting inch by inch, until his entire body turned into a pool of red and yellow viscous liquid, surging on the white floor.As if driven by something, this pool of liquid rushed to the white bones placed in front of Benoa before, wrapping and winding back and forth, as if to reassemble these bones.
Until the puddle of liquid reassembled a human form.
It was a human figure—not a human being.
It doesn't have the contours and texture that humans should have, lacking neck joints or fingers, like a gingerbread man that would be eaten at old festivals, but its skin seems to have been severely burned, it is an undulating but smooth surface of khaki.It has no nose and lips, and its eyes and mouth are empty holes at first glance. Only when you look carefully can you see a glimpse of blue in the eye socket corresponding to one of the holes.
Benoa's eyes are blue in color.
The humanoid monster seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and turned its head suspiciously, only to find that its movements were restricted.When it lowered its head to look at the "hands", the hole in the center of its face quickly widened, as if it was crying sharply.
Before it could make any more moves, the researchers in white swarmed up and controlled it.
Outside the wall, Tiev frowned without interest.
The soldiers around him were reporting to him:
"The society seems to want to learn more about the actions and actions of the experimental product this time, so as to judge whether the purpose of recalling the resurrected person has been achieved..."
"...they can do whatever they want." Jiev's voice was as slow as before: "It's just a toy for them."
He raised his hand and pressed his temples slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the rare yellow-green irises reminded him of some kind of reptile.
"This kind of meaningless wish, let them stop calling me in the future."
"Yes, General."
The author has something to say: there will be a change today, at three o'clock in the afternoon.Must remember to squat!
The next chapter is really good.great!
I cover my mouth every day to avoid spoilers;w;
And the cover has been changed, it is Xiao's character design, let us sigh for a second for his shocking beauty.Please search the author's WB to see the big picture, it's really very beautiful...

When the cabin door opened again, someone brought water and medicine to relieve the side effects of the jump.Looking up, Eugene found that the person standing there was not Miles, but Xiao.
"Myles was stopped by the navigator, and he asked me to bring the medicine." Xiao stretched out his hand to Eugene, "Can you sit up?"
Eugene sat up on his own support, and waved his hands: "It's not a serious matter."
After taking the medicine in Xiao's hand, Eugene pulled the blanket and wrapped himself up tightly, preparing to sleep through the time his body needed to adjust with a deep sleep.Outside the blanket, Xiao asked him in a low voice: "Can I wait until you fall asleep before leaving?"

The main cabin is dark, but outside the window is a long, bright belt of stars.Countless fine and dazzling white light spots spread unscrupulously in front of the eyes, mixed with purple and bright yellow halos, giving a sense of magnificence that takes one's breath away.
At this moment, Xiao turned to him.
In this dim scene, the light-colored skin of the biochemical man faintly reflects the starlight outside the window, like a gentle and quiet luminous body.His eyes were filled with shattered stars, and part of his eyelashes and hair were almost transparent, blending perfectly with the scene behind him.
It is a kind of eternal beauty that does not belong to the world.
Such Xiao, when he saw Eugene, smiled slightly.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing after we leave the center. It's too early now."
Xiao didn't refute him.
After a moment of silence, Eugene raised his eyes to Xinghe again: "Aren't you uneasy or curious about where you are going and what you will do in the future?"
"Maybe I should feel that way. But probably because I'm with you, I don't feel uneasy." Xiao's voice was calm and deep. "As for curiosity, you always tell me what I need to know. If you don't say it, it's probably not the time for me to know."
Facing such undisguised trust, Eugene suddenly had the idea of retreating and dodging.He didn't want to tell Xiao his plans for the future right now, because that would directly expose the fact that he was going to leave him eventually.
At some point, Xiao had already turned around, and he could clearly see the guilt flashing across Eugene's face at this moment.

He still let the words he had been wanting to say come out.
When Eugene raised his head, what he saw was Xiao's gentle smile as usual.

That sentence is obviously very simple, but it carries a faint and lasting temperature.It can warm the cold hands and feet, and let the frozen blood slowly turn over again.
So even if he rejects the future with Xiao, he still lacks the ability to resist such a moment.
He wants to be loved.
He also wants to be happy.
...In the main cabin, Xiao was still like a statue, silently facing the quiet Xinghui in front of him.
