Abandoned Lover [Future]

Eugene didn't know what to do for a moment.

After the conversation with Jonathan yesterday, Eugene thought about the possibility that the other party would make a big fuss, but he didn't really take this possibility to heart.After all, it was only a fourth-level inheritance. If Jonathan was not extremely stupid, he should understand that he didn't need to get things out of hand.

After two seconds of silence, Eugene looked at Miles: "What crime?"

Miles raised his right hand and swiped in the air, moving the projection screen in the main cabin over.The recently updated wanted list is displayed on the wide screen, and his information has been retrieved.Under the photo, the crime marked is the crime of violating Article [-] of the Constitution and illegally occupying the property of the alliance.

Embezzling the "inheritance" should be a crime of treason, but this is just a crime that was suppressed by Joshua and is wanted again.

It seems that Jonathan didn't really confess to the society and the military, and he should have only exerted pressure through the "pioneer" approach to limit his escape space.

After he is wanted/wanted online, his personal characteristics will be monitored in real time by countless monitors in the alliance.If he is detected by the surveillance system, his actions will be easily recorded, and even if he is not arrested immediately, his freedom of movement will be greatly restricted.

Eugene knew that the "Pioneer" could connect to the alliance's surveillance system in the name of the military, and even control some surveillance equipment.After all, the Rothschild family was rich, and Eugene suspected that Jonathan wanted to hire private force to forcibly recover Xiao after confirming his and Xiao's locations.

There is nothing wrong with this logic, but the timing is terrible.

Eugene turned his head in Miles' direction: "How much time is left before the Red Squirrel can legally pass through the central checkpoint?"

Miles scratched his hair irritably, "...five days."

Eugene uttered a rare expletive.

Jonathan picked a time when his identity was the least problematic, and sent this wanted/wanted message.

——The checkpoint of the center is controlled by the "net".

As a tangible defense system covering the entire territory of the center, the "net" will check every starship coming and going to the center and the passengers on it, and stop any recorded criminals.As an inheritance, "Net" has high intelligence and defensive capabilities. As long as it has the physical data of the wanted person, it can easily see through the criminal's disguise and disguise.With this in mind, Miles and the crew members on the Red Squirrel sent to the center, although they are star thieves, are still good citizens with no criminal records in their official identities.Facing the control of the "net", Gao Ge spent a lot of money back then to obtain the qualification for the Red Squirrel to travel between the inside and outside of the center twice a year.

If Eugene Daigui's identity is discovered, the Red Squirrel, which tried to get the criminal through the Nexus, would also be implicated.

When making plans, Eugene felt that relying on Joshua would be safe, and even asked Jensen to prepare two terminals with legal and fake identities, but he didn't count the "pioneer" who would have more influence than the general's personal guard Intervene in this matter.

...he always seems to be so unlucky.

This sense of powerlessness that made him feel that his efforts were useless, he had experienced so many times, it even made him feel unsurprising.

Eugene took a deep breath, lowered his head, and began to think.After a few minutes, he gave Miles his conclusions.

"When we get to the planet closest to the central checkpoint, put me and Xiao down. We will figure out a way by ourselves."

Miles smiled, without a smile, with a joke: "Find a way for yourself? When will the next time I can pick you up on the ship? After 60 years?"

Eugene frowned: "Myers..."

"Every time something happens, your first reaction is always to do it yourself. Why is asking for help never an option for you?" Miles looked at Eugene, his smiling eyes were sharper than ever : "Or you think in your heart that I will abandon you, so you want to speak out for me first?"

Eugene's back stiffened and he lowered his head.

That stiff expression fell into Miles' eyes, as if it had pinched his heart.The anger towards Eugene disappeared completely at this moment, and Myers even felt that he was seriously ill, so he saw the afterimage of more than ten years ago in Eugene's physique of an adult man.

"Many people are waiting for you to go back." Miles took a deep breath and slowed down his voice. "We can try to figure it out."

Eugene nodded, then murmured his apologies.

Miles walked up to Eugene, only an arm's length away.He could have easily pulled people over and given him a hug as usual, but when he saw Eugene's dimmed eyes and his increasingly thin profile, he felt that his situation was a little dangerous.

So he just put his hands in his trouser pockets, as if he inadvertently spit out a complaint.

"If you didn't bring that cyborg on board, there wouldn't be as much trouble now."

"...It's not like that." Eugene's voice was a little tired, but there was no hesitation. "If it wasn't for him, I might not have the courage to leave Green Star."

"Being able to set him free is probably the only meaningful thing I've done in the past 13 years."

Eugene raised his head and gave Miles a forced smile.

"If it's for myself, I don't dare to go back at all."

Miles looked at Eugene's face, and answered "Really" after a long time.

"Then I," the red-haired man considered his sentence, eliminating any possible bitterness in his tone. "...Thank you so much for bringing you back."

……

Eugene had always found Miles to be a very magical man.Although he always looks like he is doing nothing, he can actually do everything and do everything very well.

Combat, negotiate, mediate, purchase, drive

Now there is one more disguise.

Miles' method is not like Eugene's, which relies on casually attaching a beard to get things done.From the goods he bought this time, he dug out a bottle of strange milky white semi-gelatin, and then carefully applied it along the contours of Eugene's face.This kind of action seems to treat Eugene's face as a clay embryo, and he wants to re-build a new shape on it.

Eugene closed his eyes and let Miles move his face.When I opened my eyes again, there was a faint sense of tension on my face, but it didn't feel particularly unnatural.

He was sitting directly facing the window of the main cabin, and he could clearly see his own face reflected on it at a glance.Even though he had the same stature and clothing, his face was completely different from before, like someone he had never seen before.The person in the reflection has a somewhat fierce look, with protruding cheekbones, straight browbones, obvious bags under the eyes, and the naturally drooping corners of the mouth add to the misery.

It was those golden eyes that looked a little out of place.

Eugene couldn't help admiring Miles' craftsmanship, but the other party's frown never let go.

"It's just a trick I learned to fool people before."

Eugene fell silent with him.Up until now, neither of the two of them felt that they could use such means to deceive "Net".

But even if it doesn't work, I still want to try with luck.

Eugene's new face was scanned and sent to Jensen, who had to change the information on Eugene's new identity from the background.It's just that the result of this back and forth still doesn't look very optimistic.

So even Miles himself who said "try to figure out a way", in the 48 hours before the second leap, the most discussed with Eugene was still the escape plan after being discovered by the "net".

"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" After another round of conversation, Miles said so, and put away the writing board that the two had drawn before.

"What nonsense. At that time, what you should be thinking about is how to act, so as to take the Red Squirrel out completely." Eugene's voice was slightly nasal because of too little sleep.

This time Miles did not refute, but turned and left in silence.

Eugene leaned back into the seat, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

A pair of slightly hypothermic hands stretched out from behind and gently pressed to the top of Eugene's head.The slender fingers dug into the hair, pressing slowly with such strength that one wanted to let out a sigh.

"You don't have to do this kind of thing..." Eugene said, but he couldn't use enough strength to wave his hand away.

"But other than that, I can't help much."

The biochemical man's voice was as peaceful and quiet as ever, making Eugene suddenly not want to open his eyes.

After a long time, Eugene heard Xiao ask him: “Do you regret it?”

"No." His answer was uneventful, as if stating the simplest fact: "Not once."

"...Even if I put you in this situation?"

"Xiao, I will take you away." Eugene opened his eyes, meeting those gray-blue eyes. "I will do what I promised you. Even if you didn't ask for it."

Through that fake face, Xiao actually felt that he could easily see Eugene's real expression at this time.He looked at Eugene's face and showed a gentle smile.

However, his thoughts were out of touch with his expression at this moment.

At first, he didn't quite understand why he did this for him.Thinking about it later, maybe Eugene brought his past into himself, so the matter of "leaving others behind" was an extremely difficult choice for Eugene.

——But if you can give me your life for this reason, why don't you just give me your heart as well?

—I will obviously put it away.

Xiao himself was surprised by this sudden thought.Thinking of this when he should be in a state of tears, is like Brutus who is not divided.The only difference was that what he wanted was not Eugene's life.

But he no longer feels that he can correct his thinking, so he can only hide this part deeper.

……

After another jump, the Red Squirrel gradually approached one of the many checkpoints in the center.It didn't take long for everyone on the boat to see the huge black floating platform spread out left and right on the eye level, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

Numerous starships followed the Red Squirrel, jumping from behind it one by one.These ships headed towards the checkpoints with different numbers on the platform in an orderly manner according to the signals given by the checkpoints.

Both Eugene and Miles looked extremely serious.Both of them knew that what they were facing but couldn't see was an incomparably huge "net" that was supposed to cover all their horizons.

This "net" is hidden behind the platform and is quietly watching them.

The ships in front of the Red Squirrel have gradually approached the inspection point.Golden dots of light, like nerve veins, appeared from the void, with thin and vague ends sticking to the side of the ship, and then slowly disappearing.

This scene should have amazed the onlookers, but the passengers seem to be too familiar with this situation, and they are not even in the mood to ask questions—even if it is a "heritage", after it has existed for hundreds of years , no one will doubt the mechanism of its operation.

Eugene stood with arms folded, his mind was completely occupied by the crisis in front of him, and he didn't notice that the biochemical man standing beside him showed a very weird expression at this moment.

--came back.

—He is back.

--it's here.

—he is here.

— not where it was.

—he is here.

That weird intuition flooded into Xiao's mind frantically again.However, what he felt was no longer a simple "thought", but countless small, murmur-like voices of children.Such voices came and went, converging into a huge, soft sound wave.

At this time, under the iris of Xiao's right eye, one by one crystal lattices were slowly revealed, but the joints seemed to be plated with flowing gold.

The sound continued, Xiao closed his eyes and frowned.

……calm down.

As he thought this way, the sound wave gradually receded after a moment of pause, leaving an obedient silence.

The previous ship got permission to pass, and sailed out of the center relying on the leap.

In the vast darkness, the Red Squirrel slowly sailed towards the scheduled inspection point.
