Abandoned Lover [Future]

On August 8, Eugene and Xiao arrived at Shatas, one of the three main cities on the Sagrand border.

Although Shatas is called a city, it is actually a densely populated planet that has undergone repeated transformations inside and out.This is the most famous commercial and trade center in Sagrand, and it is also the place with the largest foreign population among all the main cities.However, unlike the Alliance, except for the capital star, all the planets in Sagran have a rough background color-in the center of the main city of Shatas, densely packed tall buildings rise from the ground, but they are not exquisitely designed. The building is an illegal building that has been crudely built up layer by layer.This lack of planning and repair is reflected in all aspects-a slum full of sewage can be next to a gorgeous entertainment venue, and an open-air animal slaughterhouse can be next to a high-end residential area.Red rust has corroded the signs and billboards of many stores, and neon lights flicker on and off on the verge of power outages.

The last time Eugene came to Shatus was before he was an adult.He was quite impressed by the filth and disorder of this planet, so before leaving the ship, he even asked Xiao to change into dark clothes so as not to be completely soiled by all kinds of filth.

When he was at stop A before, it was still difficult for Xiao to distinguish the difference between Sagrand and the border of the Union.However, as soon as he entered Shatas City, it took him almost no time to realize that the rate of human transformation here was too high—metal prosthetic eyes, alloy bones and joints, bionic limbs of various materials, and even imitation Appearance overhaul of animal traits.The people here don't seem to mind exposing their non-flesh and blood parts. Under the sunlight, every passer-by has some cold reflections from metal or synthetic materials.

"Is this their aesthetic?" Xiao couldn't help asking, "It looks...very unique."

Eugene shook his head.

This may be the first impression of all outsiders on Sageron, but the facts related to the transformation of people are far more cruel than their guesses.

Sagrand's geographical environment is completely different from that of the alliance.About 60.00% of Sagrand residents live in the border area, 30.00% are in the capital circle, and less than [-]% are scattered in the vast area between the border and the capital circle.This is because Sagrand's territory perfectly overlaps with a high-radiation ore energy belt. From the outside to the inside, the closer to the capital star, the higher the radiation value.The Sagrand capital star circle was originally supposed to be the worst place, but due to some unexplainable reasons, it shielded most of the radiation, and thus became a livable part.

However, such livability is only relative.The stars where these residents are located are themselves sources of radiation, and no matter how they are modified, they still cannot completely eliminate the effects of these radioactive substances.Therefore, gene mutations are very common in Sagrand, and the related lesions are reflected in all age groups, and the complexity of symptoms has reached an unspeakable level.Rather than slowly ascertaining the cause and then developing corresponding drugs one by one, the Sagerons chose the direct and brutal path of human body modification—it is good to replace broken joints and organs with artificial ones, and it is not as good as a useless body. throw away.

Such iron-blooded logic has affected every aspect of Sagrand.Contrary to the alliance that sticks to the "integrity and nobility of human beings", the control of artificial intelligence in Sagrand is quite loose; after all, human beings who have undergone brain modification rely on artificial intelligence to assist them in their survival. It is difficult to say whether the main body of such an organism Still not human.

In Sagrand, where the boundaries between humans and non-humans are extremely blurred, Xiao should have been more at ease than he was elsewhere.However, instead of enjoying such an atmosphere, after hearing Eugene's explanation, his first reaction was to look at the humans around him.

"Is your body okay?" Xiao frowned: "Do you need to change into protective clothes?"

Eugene laughed: "It's only been a few days, and the radiation level of Shatas is not enough to cause problems." He looked around at the people around him again: "People who undergo transformation generally have congenital defects. I don't have that problem."

He held the contact information that Carl had given him before, and was going to ask for the information he wanted on the black market here.

After an hour and a half.

"...The address of the craftsman Sanqi can be given to you. This is semi-public information. You can give me 150 New Lire. Who do you want to find? Name, age, and any other detailed information. But I don't guarantee that it will be found."

In the underground black market in Shatas, a fat black bartender was wiping the glass while lazily calling Eugene behind the bar.Eugene was silent for two seconds, then took out the terminal from his pocket and handed it over.

The projected figure is a young man smiling softly, about twelve or thirteen years old, with black hair and brown eyes, quite thin.His name "Ksana" is written next to the image, in an unusual way of spelling it.

The bartender stared at the video for a long time, then looked up at Eugene: "Isn't this the current video?"

Eugene wasn't sure how the other party judged it, but he still nodded: "It was almost ten years ago."

"Is there any particular physical characteristic of this person? Where was he last seen? What might he be doing now?"

Eugene spread his hands slightly: "Sorry, I have no idea."

The bartender pondered for a while and said: "It looks like an ordinary person, so it might be difficult to find it. But this kind of face with oriental features should be easy to remember, and it can't be said that it is completely hopeless." He looked at Eugene's face. The eyes were a little playful: "The last question, who is this person, and why are you looking for him?"

Eugene smiled.He had already thought about his speech, but when he was about to speak, his eyes fell on the still rotating projection.

——The boy in his teens looked at him without worry, his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be filled with sunshine.

After a moment of hesitation, Eugene showed a polite smile and looked into the bartender's eyes: "He is the youngest child of Pluto."

"You mean Hades?" The bartender gave a "tsk" and grinned: "I haven't heard this name for a long time."

"That's right,"

Eugene lowered his eyes, and there was no smile on the corners of his mouth.

"I have received a lot of care from Pluto, and I want to repay him for his previous care."

The bartender blew a whistle.

"Interesting," he looked at Eugene with sharp eyes in an instant: "...I will help you pay attention."

……

Eugene paid the money and exchanged it to the address of the craftsman San Qi, and also placed a deposit to find the boy "Shina".After leaving the black market, he stood on the side of the road and entered the note with the former information into the terminal.

Then he raised his head and looked wordlessly at the sky with the scorching sun hanging high above him.

Behind him, Xiao who had been following him without saying a word finally spoke.

"...Why did you say that to the bartender?"

The biochemical man's tone was very gentle, and there were not many real questioning elements in the sentence.

"Is there anything wrong with my statement?" Eugene turned and looked at Xiao. "I just provided him with all the information I know so that he can help me find someone."

"Really, Eugene?" Xiao stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and brushed away a strand of hair covering Eugene's profile. "You clearly know that giving the other party such information will only make them alert."

Xiao looked at Eugene quietly, and continued: "According to what you said, Hades used to be one of the biggest Star Thief forces. The operation of the black market seems to be related to Star Thief, and they would not want to disturb it due to emotion or reason. Get involved in these things. I understand all this, but you don't realize it?"

Eugene looked away.

"And it's just a slip of the tongue. The tone and content of your words almost want to write the word 'revenge' on your face." Xiao lowered his head slightly, and approached Eugene's face almost tenderly: "...I The Eugene I know is very smart and will never make such a low-level mistake."

Eugene seemed to want to push Xiao away, but the latter grabbed his hand.

"You deliberately didn't want them to find it." Xiao's eyes were obviously soft, but it seemed as if he could see through Eugene's innermost being: "You also know that they will definitely not find it."

Eugene looked down, and when he raised his head again, there was a defensive smile on his face: "So? What do you want to say?"

A slight surprise flashed across Xiao's face, and he subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

The faint anger leaked from Eugene, his smile became brighter, and his golden eyes were amazingly bright: "Is it funny to stare at my every move like this? I asked you to interrogate my every decision ?"

"It's my mission to assassinate Setsuna. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"I'm really curious. After saying so much, what do you want to point out? Is it the benevolence of my hopeless woman who doesn't appear on the stage?"

Eugene laughed through his nose, and looked at Xiao in addition to anger, there was also some vague hurt: "Believe me, I know this about myself."

Xiao put away his previous expression.After witnessing Eugene's reaction, he finally realized that he seemed to have crossed a line in an unusual way.

...he got a little too carried away.

So after a few seconds of silence, Shaw apologized.

"……Feel sorry."

The cyborg straightened his back, and he didn't use any deliberate and friendly voice when he spoke.

"I always feel like I know you well. Maybe I'm subconsciously showing that off."

"I didn't intend to interrogate you..."

Xiao took a deep breath, and considered his words in a short pause.

"I just want you to see clearly that you don't need to lie to yourself."

"Because I never felt your kindness was out of place, I don't think it's a weak thing for you to be in a moral dilemma."

"I like you like this very much. But I used the wrong communication method."

Shaw looked at his humans.

"please forgive me."

Eugene stared into Xiao's eyes, his chest heaved silently twice, he gradually put away the smile that showed his anger, and finally looked to the side without saying a word.

Although there were no more words, Xiao understood that it was a silent concession.This made Xiao's eyes soften a little, and his voice softened a little.

"I would also like you to take back a word, Eugene."

Xiao reached out and took Eugene's hand.

"Please don't say that your business has nothing to do with me."

"For me, all the things that can affect you are the most important things to me."

"I'm the one who's worthless."

He gave Eugene a smile--with a small but visible fawning.

...Maybe it is because of Eugene's increasingly obvious attachment, or because he has no bottom line tolerance for his bad parts, sometimes Xiao will have a groundless illusion, as if he can control Eugene at will.

But this is the most wrong understanding.

His tyranny and domination towards Eugene is nothing more than Eugene himself yearns for these.His human being has a fundamentally uncompromising bottom line and self-esteem, and he cannot use cheap tricks to influence it, nor does he intend to do so.

……

That night, Eugene was drunk, and in a restaurant with live music, he propped his chin and hummed softly to the band.

Probably because of what happened during the day, Eugene was still a little shaken. At this time, the human beings looked a little bit wronged, frowning and humming like a big child who doesn't understand, taking a big sip of wine from time to time, eyes Just stare in the direction of the stage.

No matter how Xiao called him, he seemed to be determined and didn't want to bother.

When he arrived at the hotel, Xiao watched Eugene sitting down beside the bed in a daze, looking at the light on one side, looking a little lonely.

——He was the only one who was with his human beings.

He walked over, knelt down in front of Eugene, looked up at him, and smiled.

He took Eugene's hand and kissed it.

……

At the end of the night, Shaw sat his lover face to face on his lap, soothing each other's insides in the most tender way.

He gave Eugene lots of hugs and kisses until Eugene finally let go of the struggle and opened up to him.

On this day, for the first time, they quarreled like all ordinary couples, and they also reconciled like ordinary couples.However, this unremarkable development made them all realize a clearer fact.

... In this relationship, they are each other's slaves and masters, hopelessly dependent on each other, and clearly grasp each other's fragile vitals.
