Abandoned Lover [Future]

Seemingly seeing the same standard painting on the front of the armed ship as the Rift, the cargo ship came down obediently after a little struggle.

One of the armed ships and the cargo ship were forcibly docked, the attraction hook was embedded in the stern of the cargo ship, and the boarding team boarded the ship wearing exoskeleton-style protective suits.After entering the oxygenation zone, the exoskeleton of the player's hood and upper body quickly faded away and gathered.The leader, Eugene, showed his face, supported the weapon belt with one hand, pressed the daggers around his waist with the other, and smiled at the tense crew members: "Please hand over the cargo, we will not hurt anyone. "

As Myers said, this cargo ship belongs to a new mine owner who has never "intersected" with the Rift before.Seeing the posture of the boarding personnel, there are also crew members who are not familiar with the process and want to rush up.Zane and Lucas loaded the guns in their hands in an instant, and Eugene just threw a knife at the crew member who reached for the isolation valve, nailing the opponent's sleeve to the wall.

"Please cooperate with me."

……

On the transport ship behind the armed ship, Miles and Shaw are looking at the video sent back from the cargo ship - on the boarding team, Lucas and Zane both brought surveillance equipment, which is convenient for others to keep abreast of what happened on the ship what.Seeing Eugene's speech and the movement of throwing the dagger, Miles almost couldn't laugh or cry.

"Does he think he's acting in a movie? What kind of handsome is this?" Miles' impression of Eugene is still in the period when he saw someone disobedient and put a knife on the other's neck when boarding the ship.

However, except for him, the others on the transport ship sincerely admired Eugene's skill and completely ignored his speech.

In the camera, several people boarding the ship quickly took control of the situation. Zane, as a necessary person to identify the ore, walked aside with the person in charge of the ship and began to inspect the cargo.Several people including Eugene and Lucas stayed in the main cabin and were responsible for monitoring the abnormalities of other people.

However, at this moment, a small head emerged from behind a cargo ship crew member who was standing stiffly—a boy about six or seven years old poked his head out and looked at the group with curious and nervous eyes. Suddenly let them punish the uninvited guest.The tall black Lucas couldn't help but "tsk", as if he felt that children were very troublesome.

The little boy rolled his eyes and decided to run out from behind the hiding person.Not being stopped for a while, he first ran towards Lucas, and after being stared at, he chose to run to Eugene's legs.The crew, who looked like his father, tried to chase them out, but were forced back by the raised barrel of Lucas.

Eugene seemed to be amused by the boy, and while pressing the weapon on his body, he squatted down facing the boy: "... What can I do for you?"

"Why are you all standing still?" the boy asked him, turning his head to the side.

Eugene smiled: "This is the job of adults."

The boy said "Oh", "Why are your eyes golden?"

"Then you might want to ask my parents."

... Eugene didn't feel any sense of urgency, and actually started talking patiently with the boy.The boy chatted to him about how boring the trip was, and how much he looked forward to the upcoming Spirit of Fire celebration.Looking at such an image, Miles almost wanted to teach Eugene a lesson, to teach him "how to be a star thief that conforms to the mainstream impression".

Beside him, Xiao didn't notice Miles' expression at all.He was greedily watching Eugene's every move on the screen, his lips parted slightly, as if sighing silently.

That's his human.A strong, capable, and gentle human being.

A human... that many people can easily like.

Xiao thought so, and looked around himself, at the person staring at the same screen as them.They were not talking, but Xiao suspected that they were looking at the same person as him.

The cyborg slowly refocused his gaze back to the screen.Compared with the illusory happiness experienced in Eugene's image, a more urgent, almost tangible fear resurfaced.

His humans... weren't really his.

Everyone who was looking at Eugene at this time, if given time, would find the shining point in him that made it difficult to look away, just like him.

However, time is moving, and he still stays at the origin.

He is trapped in a deadlock where he can't move forward and doesn't want to go back, and he can't get out.

……

Everything on the cargo ship went smoothly, and the ore selected by Zane was packed into several boxes prepared by the other party and shipped to the transport ship on Myers' side.

Several technicians and transportation officers walked to the reception area with specially-made equipment, ready for battle.

Myerst told Xiao seriously: "Just let those who wear protective clothing touch it, the high-purity blackstone mine has a lot of radiation, and you don't know if there are any strange dirty things in the other party's box. "

Xiao glanced at Miles: "Myers, I'm not human."

When saying these words, the portrait thought it was ridiculous, and showed a somewhat disobedient smile.

The goods arrived one by one, and Xiao sat in a corner of the transport ship with a weary expression, as if he had no interest in what happened in front of him.He just frowned when one of the boxes entered the transport ship.

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Xiao stepped forward, untied a flat-headed short knife from his waist, and poked it hard into the side corner of the box.

A corner of the iron sheet was shoveled off the solid metal box that was supposed to be hard. Xiao inserted his fingers into the gap of the iron sheet, and tore off the piece of metal on the surface with a teeth-piercing sound.

In that mezzanine, there is a quiet locator with a signaling light on.

Miles wasn't surprised that there was something like this hidden in the box—that's why they brought a mechanic like Matthew.To his surprise, Xiao seemed to find this small signaling device directly without any external force.

Technician Matthew's eyes were straightened, and he hurried to Xiao's side, trying to find out what clues the other party saw, and finally determined the location of the locator.

"……I heard."

Xiao only left such a sentence, and then returned to the previous corner, turning back into a silent sculpture.

……

This time the looting ended without any disturbance.All combatants and auxiliary personnel returned to the main ship of the Rift one after another. Except for Miles and the other two transportation officers who were in charge of subsequent storage arrangements, the rest left in turn.

However, Basil seemed to have been waiting for Eugene. He called him to his room and poured him a cup of tea.

"It seems that you are adapting well. How is it, come back to work for the first time, do you have any thoughts?"

Eugene smiled: "I hope there will be some exciting jobs in the future."

Basil also smiled: "Then it's just right for you to participate in the next mission."

The old man called up the projection screen on the side and unfolded the current voyage map of the Rift.With the swipe of his fingertips, he locked on the Frontier Heavy Defense Star, a satellite of the Acropolis Star.

"We have a batch of arms that need to be traded here. Although the amount is very high, the buyer is a confirmed buyer, and the content of the transaction does not seem to be a problem."

Having said that, Basil's expression gradually became serious.

"So what's the problem?"

"It doesn't feel good." Basil looked at Eugene: "But what's interesting is that since you came back, that premonition has disappeared a lot, and now it's almost gone."

Eugene did not comment on this, but replied directly: "I will go."

"Take your friend with you, too. You can put him in the auxiliary position like this time. Anyway, after finishing the task this time, you can take the boat and send him away." The old man turned his gaze back to the voyage map, He said casually: "From the Acropolis to the residential belt of Sagrand, as long as you pass the border guard post, it will take two days."

Eugene's body stiffened instantly.

Basil didn't seem to notice Eugene's strangeness, and began to calmly introduce the specific task process and schedule.While trying to hear Basil's explanation, Eugene was counting the days in his head.

He is counting the days of the showdown with Xiao.

It was nearly a week before the mission Basil said, and he should have sent Xiao away in at most two days after that.

He has less than ten days left.

...less than ten days.

After stepping out of Basil's room, Eugene raised his head and looked at the overhead light above the aisle.

On a pouring rainy night, the cyborg stood under a street lamp whose light was blurred by the rain, with his head lowered, his long hair hanging down to cover his face.

He held an umbrella for him and handed him a towel.

After that, the biochemical man who finally showed his face smiled at him and said that as long as you come to pick me up, I can wait forever.

He picked him up and went home.

Now he's sending him away.

……

That night, Shaw and Eugene sat on Eugene's bunk, in the shadow it cast, with their backs against the wall, chatting casually.

Since Shaw crossed the line, the reasonable distance between them has become more and more blurred.Xiao's state was too unstable. In the end, Eugene found that Xiao seemed to be able to settle down only if he got closer to the other party.

So now, the shoulders of the two of them are only a few centimeters apart.

After the aimless chat, the two fell into a brief silence.Before Eugene could find another topic, Xiao asked a question almost abruptly.

"Eugene, have you thought about the future?"

As Xiao asked, he calmly looked at Eugene's face beside him.

——What he wanted to ask was actually whether Eugene had reserved a place for himself in the future.It's just that the answer to this question may be too scary, and he knows that he doesn't have the courage to face it directly.

Eugene thought for a while: "...It seems that I really haven't thought about it." After a moment of silence, Eugene added helplessly: "You ask me now, and I don't have any plans or ideals. To be honest, maybe I Will try to convince Basil to get a dog on board."

Such an answer seemed meaningless, and Eugene asked Xiao naturally, "What about you?"

Xiao still looked at him.

Just when Eugene thought that the other party hadn't heard his question clearly, he heard Xiao's answer.

"Stay by your side."

Eugene's expression froze.A few seconds later, Eugene turned his head and looked at Xiao with a relaxed, joking expression.

"Really? How long do you want to stay with me?"

"When you drive me away."

"In what capacity?"

"I don't know." Shaw laughed. "What identity can I have?"

There was a slight crack in the smile on Eugene's face.He stretched out his left hand and touched Xiao's head.

"...you shouldn't think so. You can have your own life."

This is already an obvious avoidance.Xiao could almost see, in front of his own face, the death sentence that Eugene had sentenced him to.

The only difference is when to execute it.

Shaw took a deep breath and forced himself to keep looking into Eugene's eyes.

"Are you going to be with someone else in the future?"

Eugene looked back at him.

"What if?"

Xiao closed his eyes.

——I would want to kill him and replace him.

——If I can really replace someone.

Thinking of this, Xiao slowly turned sideways in pain, and pressed his forehead against Eugene's shoulder.

He grabbed the clothes on Eugene's chest with his right hand, smiled softly, and said, "I don't know what I will do yet."

Eugene raised his left hand and put it behind his head, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "...Really."

… At this moment, they are so close that they almost look like lovers in repose.

Only they themselves know how they feel deeply alone because of each other.

The author has something to say:

Eugene thought Xiao just wanted to be a dog.Xiao thought he could only be his dog.

Probably such a conversation.

Cherish the time when you can still eat knives, the time is running out, the countdown to the three-chapter showdown.

And in the last chapter, why were you so surprised when I said that I was a swordsman? ?Although I am a knife, I have always been very gentle and healing...
