It hurts to touch me [Interstellar]

Leo paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward, and asked at the same time, "Is Saoirse safe?"

[Sorry, insufficient information to judge. 】

Li Ou temporarily stopped asking. When he reached the end of the passage, he couldn't help but look back at the way he came. The aircraft was still standing there quietly outside the narrow viewing window.

[Sorry, the door involved in complex calculations has been blocked, please don't stop, in the defense mode, the exploration mission has been canceled for you, and you will choose a new path to leave within the taken over range. 】

"How many paths are there?"

[There are four paths, currently the escape route with the highest safety factor. 】

"Did anyone pass by?"

【...There is no such escape route as you describe—】

"Please arrange one right away," Li Ou looked around, observing the construction materials here, and it turned out that he really gained knowledge, the radiation exceeded the standard, and it was not as good as the old antiques in the Holy Code City.

【Feel sorry--】

"Sia?"

Electronic Intelligence paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, Li Ou?"

"You listen to me first."

【Okay, I'm listening. 】

"Ms. Pastor, the sun is drying my butt." Li Ou said as he walked.

【…——Received the password, the authority has been changed. 】

"Enter exploration mode."

[Okay, enter the exploration mode-sorry, the defense mode cannot be turned off. 】

"It's ok."

[I suggest you wait for rescue in place, and conduct preliminary exploration after 12 hours. 】The conflicting orders made Siya confused.

"Any other suggestions?"

[Please do not try too dangerous exploration actions?. 】

"Oh." Li Ou said casually, "Choose an escape route passing through the center."

[Received, Li Ou, the route has been designed and a copy has been sent to your terminal, follow me. 】

"Okay." Li Ou smiled slightly.

After walking for 10 minutes, a warning sound sounded on the communicator. Xi Ya said, "Three creatures are approaching, and the preliminary judgment is: human beings."

Under Xi Ya's instruction, Li Ou quietly avoided the three of them. When the other party walked away, Li Ou stuck his eyes out to follow their backs, and his heartbeat intensified——

Even though the three thin figures were only wearing ordinary clothes, Li Ou could see the origin of each other from the part of neck exposed by the taller one.

—Imperial Man.

Very good, so far today, he has seen four imperial people in one go.

What is the probability?

Li Ou almost stopped thinking about it, and directly accelerated the pace of exploration.

Although Siya has no self-awareness, and currently only takes over 30.00% of the local system's authority, it is the electronic intelligence created by Saoirse herself, and Leo's progress is very smooth.

It didn't even take long, from the surrounding environment, Li Ou judged that he might have arrived near the core.

As he met more and more people, many of whom were wearing protective clothing, Li Ou felt relieved - because the protective clothing the other party was wearing was the one commonly seen in the Lauren Hotel.

Including the suit he is wearing now, which was also "borrowed" by Saoirse from the hotel.

Compared with the protective clothing worn by these imperial people, apart from being newer, there seems to be nothing special.

Finally? With more and more signs of repairs in the surrounding environment, the alloy on the ground also began to have deep traces of excessive friction. Li Ou turned to the right and stepped onto an extraordinarily wide passage.

A group of numb-looking Imperials came towards them. There were men and women among them. A few were still strong, but most of them were emaciated.

Li Ou kept walking and passed between them without changing his expression.

He felt that someone was looking at him, but that gaze only stayed for a few seconds, and then moved away unprepared.

Originally, he should feel relaxed, but Li Ou's brows couldn't be controlled? The frown became tighter and tighter.

Following his footsteps, the surroundings became more and more noisy, and suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge and messy residential area was completely exposed in front of his eyes.

Li Ou's eyes moved with countless figures, and his ears were filled with various complicated voices. He couldn't tell whether they were the voices of communicating and shouting, or the voices of quarreling and scolding. They all buzzed together. Challenging his psychological limit.

There are dense and simple partitions without a ceiling, each of which is a small cell like a beehive, and taller or larger people have to turn sideways to get into the door.

How many people are here?

10 people?

50 people?

100 people?

No one looked at him at all, Li Ou stood among the imperial humans coming and going, quietly peeping at this taboo-like place.

There are no soldiers.

Not even a single one in his gaze could be called the word "enemy".

civilians of the empire.

No, these refugees—

An indescribable shiver rose in Li Ou's heart, causing his hands to convulse.

……

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Li Ou staggered.

【Your body temperature is rising rapidly? Li Ou. ] Sia reminded him.

Li Ou exhaled one after another, but the red thorns became more and more visible, as if they were frantically gouging his head. Thanks to it, Li Ou finally came back to his senses.

The temperature in the protective clothing was suddenly lowered by Xi Ya, and Li Ou's body temperature barely remained unchanged. He walked towards the exit of the passage almost quickly and striding forward?

He has to get out of here!

immediately! !immediately! !

Cold sweat rolled down from his hairline, Li Ou could hardly control his footsteps, he wanted to completely shake off the noise behind him - but how could it be so easy?

"Hey... that person in front, stop!"

Li Ou turned a deaf ear to it. Suddenly, all the voices around him seemed to be amplified a hundred times. At the same time, the passage he came in not far away was closed just a short distance away!

This turn of events obviously frightened the people around, Li Ou heard an alert shout: "Stop him!!"

A hand quickly grabbed Li Ou, the strength was not scary in Li Ou's eyes, but Li Ou stopped.

The surrounding buzzing weakened and disappeared wave after wave, and finally the entire space became silent.

But obviously, the information received by the other party is limited, and all judgments come from guesses. The situation that Li Ou imagined directly stabbing blood and deep feud did not happen. people? How did you get to this area?"

With that said, the other party blocked in front of Li Ou.

Li Ou raised his eyes slowly and little by little.

Li Ou could clearly see the fear gradually rising in the opponent's eyes, and felt more and more shameless for himself in his heart.

The person standing in front of him took a step back instinctively.

This is also a commoner, Li Ou can see.

Although it is very possible that the other party has assumed certain responsibilities among this group of refugees, there is still some distance between them and real imperial soldiers.

And behind this commoner, around him, and in all directions, there are terrifying figures that Li Ou never wants to meet in his dreams.

When the warships of the empire destroyed the alliance planets on a large scale, and the alliance star field was completely cleaned up, countless alliance civilians disappeared together. Under such a magnitude of war, one side is destined to end up like today , either the Empire or the Alliance.

Li Ou represented the weak side to the present, and the soft-hearted end passed? He only tasted it once, and that time almost ruined everyone.

In the end, he seems to have chosen the alliance and his own homeland—in fact, only he himself knows that he chose no one, he just chose his own desire and revenge .

Not to mention that back then, in his position, there was almost no chance of seeing imperial civilians. What appeared in front of him were all groups of desperate imperial soldiers.

He deliberately doesn't think about those superfluous things other than survival, unless the latter inexplicably appears in front of his eyes, and it is still such a huge existence that cannot be ignored——

"Quick... answer quickly!"

Suddenly, Xi Ya's voice jumped over all other noises and entered Li Ou's ears.

[Leo? 】

[Or should I call you, Leo? 】

The sudden appellation made Li Ou's heart feel hot and cold. He froze in place, his head was so painful that it was about to explode.

【Can you tell me?How do you feel when you see them? 】

【Are you annoyed?still afraid? 】

The calm female voice pressed against Li Ou's eardrums, and came from the communicator that should belong to Saoirse. There was no barrier between it and Li Ou, so it caught Li Ou by surprise.

Gradually, the originally emotionless voice began to fluctuate, became full of curiosity, and became weird.

【I've been looking forward to this scene for a long time—well... your body is really a mess. 】Sia's voice was inexplicably excited?, even a little trembling, 【The body's reaction is the real honesty, Leo... the past? There was never a moment when I understood you like I do now. 】

Li Ou was unbelievably cold, his heart was beating so violently that even his teeth were trembling.

He couldn't help putting his hand on the personal terminal that was monitoring his body data at that time, trying to unlock it, but his fingers didn't listen.

He has already realized that this is not his hallucination, and it is not even as simple as a bug in Xi Ya.

"Where are you?" Li Ou squeezed out a sentence between his teeth.

As for the question of who the other party is, the answer has already flowed out in Li Ou's mind.

Any person in the empire has a blood feud with him, and has the idea of ​​revenge against him, but there is only one person who will gather such a large number of refugees in some unimaginable, even vicious and decisive way, just because With him? Right—

White death knell!

Li Ou was almost able to take off the personal terminal, but there was a strong force, and the person in front of him pushed him fiercely.

"Still pretending to be stupid!!" There was a trace of excitement in the man's eyes, and he said to the onlookers, "Forget it! Since he doesn't say anything, send him to the cell and execute him tomorrow morning!"

"If he can live until tomorrow morning." Is there something familiar in Li Ou's chest that keeps rising? And rising again? His eyes can't help but become cold and hard——

[Shh——Calm down, Leo... I know you hold grudges very much,] Xi Ya laughed, [But because of you, they have such a hard life, it's normal to be angry, don't they have the right to kill their enemies? ? 】

Li Ou sneered.

[Don't be so disappointed.If I tell them now, the new tyrant of the Alliance, the returning Leo, the famous "genocide", you are right here, you chased me, chased you to the end of the universe, and appeared in front of poor people like me, How will they react? 】

【Will they cry and pounce on you to tear you apart, or will they kill each other in fear? 】

Hearing this, Li Ou's heartbeat suddenly gradually calmed down, and even his trembling fingers became stable.

The other party obviously also noticed this, and was so confused for a moment that he was at a loss for words.

After a long time, the other party said:

[I see, you have decided to slaughter them, right? 】

[This... I have to admit, Leo, I seemed to have misunderstood you before. 】

"Aren't they your citizens?" Leo asked, "Why are you doing this?"

【What?Oh, yes...] Xi Ya laughed, [In the past? They were my people, but now, these incapable people are not even alive.Tell me, Leo, can you find a soldier among them? 】

Li Ou instinctively looked at the men and women who were closest to him, holding cold weapons, and yelling at him because of the crowd. Soon, he discovered that these people didn't even have mental strength. Very little.

When he saw a person stealthily take out a syringe with viscous liquid flowing inside, Li Ou understood what kind of food these people depended on to survive to this day.

【Why did you become so calm? 】

Li Ou didn't intend to tell the other party the answer.

——Maybe the scene in front of me is enough? Call it hell, but "Siya" wants to say something that is not to be feared.

After all, in Li Ou's rich imagination, he had already died in a way that was [-] times more miserable, and had seen scenes that were countless times more horrific.
