It hurts to touch me [Interstellar]

Li Ou chewed the name with the tip of his tongue, feeling that it was constantly expanding in his heart.

He? Still alive?

still alive? !

This... But, how is this possible?? !

He? Why is he still alive?

……

In a certain corner of my heart, there was a burst of warmth first, followed by a coldness.

……

In an instant, a silent image flashed in Leo's mind - first the cyclone of blooming, then the flames sweeping - Liam's mecha was smashed into pieces in the explosion.

Liam died on the dark eve of the final battle.

……

When the "Blade of Leo" disappears, the morale of the imperial army is high.

……

Liam didn't leave the body behind, and Leo also neglected Liam's death, mourning alone for several hours, Leo moved forward, Liam seemed to have never existed, and seemed to be still by everyone's side.

Back then, Leo never received Liam's mental rebound. He also thought it was normal, because Liam died very quickly.

……

There was chaos in his mind, and Li Ou felt his eye sockets were hot, and he seemed to be sweating.

See? At the moment when he saw Liam, Leo was puzzled and wanted to know too much, but when the gloomy gaze from the other end of the corridor came across, there was no need for Saoirse's reminder, Leo's footsteps automatically Backed away and returned to the consulting room.

He wanted to question Saoirse right now, but his throat seemed to become stiff, and he missed the first moment, and Li Ou instinctively started to suspect Liam.

"Calm down, Leo." Or did Saoirse rescue him? Saoirse said unhappily, "I just found him too? Here, but I can barely feel him? Didn't betray you, wait for me."

Li Ou felt no comfort at all.

Even Saoirse "just found out" about Liam, and I'm afraid she has no idea what that means.

But right now, Li Ou needs to quickly adjust his mentality. After all, not far away, Asland's face suddenly became serious, and those eyes stared straight at him.

"Leo?"

Li Ou slowly pushed Asland's hand away, and it took ten seconds for them to regain the ability to speak.

"I'll go back to my room first."

Asland gave a simple "hmm".

"You... don't follow me."

After speaking, Leo strode away, and Asland really stayed where he was.

Thankfully, there are two exits from this?spacious consulting room.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Ou gasped and said, "Saoirsa?"

Saoirse didn't respond at first, and Leo sat on the sofa and waited silently. A few minutes later, Saoirse appeared by herself.

"It's strange," Saoirse's voice sounded without warning, "Yam's scholar's identity is impeccable, he? and that? annoying person, maybe? It's not the same person, and, to be honest, I like nerds a lot of."

"Absolutely impossible?" Li Ou supported his head, feeling the ups and downs of a roller coaster of emotions, and an indescribable annoyance, "That's him?"

When he saw the Yam scholar for the first time, this was the only answer in Li Ou's heart.

Saoirse smirked twice and said, "That's right, I'm testing you, but it's not that invulnerable. That's Liam."

Li Ou said with a blank face: "I heard that a long time ago, once people found an AI that could lie, they would delete it with one click."

After a brief silence, an old mechanical sound sounded in Li Ou's ears——

"I'm sorry."

"..." Can I hit you, please come out.

After Saoirse talked nonsense, Li Ou calmed down a lot, "What's going on here?"

"I didn't lie to you about one thing. His identity is indeed perfect. Although there is very little information about 'Yam Scholar', from birth to the present, there is no gap in the middle, and there is no tampering trace."

"The age of the Yam scholar?"

"74 years, 5 months and 3 days."

Get rid of those vague odds, Leo said: "Same age as Liam."

"If this is a fake identity," Saoirse said calmly, "There are two possibilities? One is that the artificial intelligence possessed by the other party is much larger than mine, so I can't find any traces of tampering with history. a kind--"

Li Ou interrupted her, "Let me see? Watch? The image of the Yam scholar."

In an instant, there were a large number of images and pictures, including babies, pre-divided adolescents, and more youthful appearances than now, including the appearance Li Ou saw just now.

The whole timeline is very clear, starting from childhood, the taciturn boy is either holding a book or holding a trophy, and there are images of academic speeches and research.

"This is him," Leo reconfirmed. "The Yam Scholar is Liam. From here on, their appearance hasn't changed since they were in their thirties. It's not a fake identity." , is a double identity."

And it must be prepared as soon as it is born, and then the two identities must be maintained at the same time.

Compared with his age, there are very few images of Yam scholars. In the case of no change in appearance, you can just find a reason to cover up the fact that Liam joined the army. Moreover, joining the army is not going to jail, but he still has to deal with private affairs of time.

But the dual identity itself is extremely scary to think about - with 50 years of one-hour supervision by the central system, to have a perfect dual identity, you must use stupid methods.

Thinking about it, Li Ou took a deep breath—this is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. If you want to deceive the central system... Maybe you need a large number of people with dual identities to do this!

So what family is Liam from? Is there something wrong with his family? !

Involuntarily, Li Ou remembered that Liam was special compared to other teammates, that is, Liam was promoted step by step from a soldier because of his excellent performance. Finally came to Li Ou's side.

Among Leo's "races"?, only two people have such a background.

Is this also part of Liam's double identity?

Then came to my side, was it premeditated, or was it a temporary intention, in case I really formed a contract with him? Would it be possible that "Yam Scholar" would die strangely?

Li Ou fell into silence, and asked after a long time: "Then how did you find the flaw?"

Saoirse replied reluctantly: "That's how I found out, there was only one time when the Yam scholar made a move that didn't match his? life? trajectory, but Liam had sufficient motivation for this? move."

"What action?"

Saoirse paused for a few seconds, and said: "This matter is too outrageous, so I still have doubts? But once I confirm it, I will tell you immediately! When the time comes, hmph...you will definitely abandon him completely?!"

Li Ou listened without moving, for a long time, Li Ou said:

"waiting for your good news."

After a peaceful month, Shan Xuan announced that Li Ou had officially entered the second "course of treatment". During this period, Leo never saw Liam again, nor did he ask Saoirse to find out. no.

At the same time, Shan Xuan really can't lie, Li Ou could see the four big words "treatment is invalid" from their faces.

Li Ou didn't feel it before, but now he is being naughty all day long, which makes him really feel like his body has been hollowed out.From time to time, when he was extremely irritable, before Li Ou realized it, the group of researchers had already surrounded him with a fuss, which frequently made him even more irritable.

It's ridiculous, if I wanted to kill someone when I was upset, then there would be no one on Proxima Centauri long ago, okay?

But having said that, Leo often thinks about a question, if he has to kill someone when he is upset, then he... choose Asland.

"I officially allow you to rest for a few days."

Leo stepped on the solo flight platform and flew in front, and Asland followed leisurely, and replied casually: "Okay."

"...You don't have to follow me."

"Didn't I take a rest?" Asland said seriously, "I want to go? I can go wherever I want? Well, please, Leo, please don't meddle in my decision."

"..."

Today is the first day of the new course of treatment, Li Ou arrived in the West District ahead of schedule, while Shan Xuan and others are still having a meeting in the conference room here.

When Li Ou stepped on the flying pad and slid across the corridor like lightning, through the huge transparent wall, he could see that the atmosphere in the conference room was just right, and he had just entered the stage of the single-handed eyes breathing fire.

Shan Xuan: "..." It seemed that I saw a shadow flashing past just now?

After a pause for a few seconds, he? Continued?: "Eli's collected data is beyond the critical point..." Huh? ? ?

Shan Xuan was a little confused: "...Did you see? See..." There seems to be another shadow flashing past? ? ?

After finding the "West No. [-]" large-scale evolution control cabin that Shan Xuan said, Leo went straight in. Asland stepped on the flight pad and hovered outside the door. He smiled shyly at him and said briskly: "I am here waiting for you."

"..."

Turning around, Li Ou gave up completely.

Recently, Asland did not know what illness he was suffering from, he was really clingy to death.

With 10 minutes left before the agreed time, Li Ou began to visit casually.

The so-called "cabin" refers to two "rooms" set together.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the large hall and the long and narrow operating table, and a square black and red room in the center.

To be precise, it is a room surrounded by red and black materials with low transparency. The walls are covered with particle-like protrusions. Through the walls, one can vaguely see a chair with a complex structure. Beyond that is a large area of ​​shadow.

This room brought back Leo's memory and reminded him of a photographer's darkroom.

Suddenly, there was a "pop", an inaudible sound.

Li Ou was taken aback, and right in front of his eyes, the darkroom was lit up.

The shadows in the room disappeared completely in an instant, and through the dark red wall, Li Ou and a person were looking at each other.

It took a long time for this moment, and Li Ou still didn't realize it, until that man came out of the red room with easy steps and walked in front of Li Ou.

"Hi." The other party showed a gentle smile.

"……"Hi? ? ?

"Long time no see? Leo."

"..."

It's been a long time. Li Ou doubted his eyes, paused for a moment, and finally said hesitantly:

"Yehya? Why are you here?"

That soft golden hair, angelic face and gentle expression, who is not Yehya?

This can be said to be caught off guard, because the moment he saw Yeheya, Li Ou remembered his tragic experience of being separated on the Harissa refugee ship...

Wait, does Yehya know?

Li Ou's heart skipped a beat.

Does Yehya know the part about ? "Leo"?

Soon Li Ou discovered that this was what he cared about the most, because the same thing, Leo would not care about Layson or Milo, but Yehya...

Yehya is different.

He?... eager to kill Leo.

Staring at Yehya's eyes as bright as the shallow sea, Li Ou thought——

And finally put into practice.
