Rarity: SSS [Interstellar]

In a tavern deep in planet A-33, the lights flickered dimly, reflecting the dilapidated wooden bar.The bartender stretched out his hand to untie the bow tie around his neck and hung it on the brandy bottle. A woman in front of the bar took the bottle and stretched out her hand to tie the bow tie on the neck of the bottle neatly. Gorgeous light.

The bartender pushed the concoction glass away, put his feet on the high chair and said, "Alice, don't play with my bow tie, go and close the door, the meeting will start later."

The woman called "Alice" shook her soft waist and said in a coquettish voice, "No. Karen hasn't come yet. When she comes, ask her to close the door."

Before she finished speaking, the bell on the door rang, and the dilapidated wooden door creaked open. First a white pigeon flew in, and then Karen in a top hat walked in.

"Ah—Karen! Look at your spirit body, don't let it touch my Medusa!" Alice screamed suddenly, jumped off the high chair and wrapped her spirit body around her wrist .

Karen took off her top hat, took off her coat and hung it on the hanger by the door, and whistled in this direction: "Xiao Yu, come back."

Xiaoyu immediately gave up on teasing the trembling little snake coiled around Alice's wrist, rolled her eyes twice, flapped her wings twice and flew to Karen's shoulder, followed Karen towards the bar.

"Hi, Mr. Chang." She greeted the bartender, and then sat on the high chair that Alice was sitting on just now. "There are still 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Bring me a martini."

"Okay." The bartender responded, took out a bottle of gin from the wine cabinet, and pried open the bottle with his thumb.

"Karen, you sat in my chair again." Alice came back and complained to her, "You haven't closed the door yet."

"Just sit next to me." Karen replied, "——Xiaohan, go and close the door."

The white pigeon standing on Karen's shoulder cooed twice, as if agreeing to the sentence, then flew up with a flutter and flew to the door, hitting the door with a "boom".The door was slowly closed under force, and Xiao Yu flew out of the door taking advantage of the gap, grabbed a wooden sign with her bright red beak, and turned it over with her body. The word "rest" was written on the back of the sign , and then quickly flew into the room, and landed on Karen's shoulder "cuckoo" to claim credit.

Karen handed the martini he just got to his shoulder, and smiled, "I'll give you the first sip." But after being pecked hard by Xiaoyu, Karen withdrew her hand and her face remained unchanged, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like drinking, why don't you play with Medusa."

This time Xiaoyu flapped her wings happily, flew up and circled twice above Alice's head, as if looking for the whereabouts of the timid little snake.

"Ah——" Alice withdrew her hand into her arms suddenly, and screamed, "Karen, you taught Xiaoyu badly again! Medusa is timid, Xiaoyu always scares it, you must have taught it!"

"Alice, stop arguing." The bartender stopped her screaming and looked warily at the table in the middle of the bar.

"Cough..." A voice suddenly came from the table in the bar. The voice was very hoarse, as if it had been mechanically processed, coming from the table.

The table in the bar has turned into a projection mode at some point, and the figures with masks on their faces cast shadows on the table. The shadow that made the sound is in the middle, and all the shadows are centered on him. Cast out on the bar table.

The bartender also took out three masks from under the bar and handed them to Karen and Alice respectively. After they both put them on, the bartender turned on the double-sided mode of the communication. The faces of Karen, Alice, and the bartender wore the masks. cast on the desktop.

After confirming that everyone's communication was unblocked, the shadow in the center said: "Test subjects No. 002 and No. 005 have been confirmed dead."

A row of shadows seemed indifferent, but no one spoke in the entire bar. After waiting for a long time, the shadow in the center continued: "Mr. Chang, please tell me about the characteristics of the experimental objects 002 and 005."

"Yes." The bartender responded, and his voice came from the table. What is surprising is that Mr. Chang's voice is actually a woman's voice, but no one present expressed surprise, almost everyone who participated in the meeting They don’t use their own voices, “Experiment No. 002, a species with enhanced corrosion characteristics, was born in the underground laboratory of star A-3903 in July 17. After undergoing intensive experiments, it can corrode metals with a maximum hardness of 9.8. It lacks mimicry characteristics, The gene chain is broken and has no follow-up research value."

The bartender scratched a few pages on the desktop, and then read: "Experiment No. 005, a species with enhanced attack characteristics, was born in the underground laboratory of star C-3904 in January 02. It has undergone enhanced experiments, and the enhanced results are unknown. It has mimic characteristics. , Corrosion 6.3, the gene chain is broken, unable to produce offspring, and the value of follow-up research is not high."

After reading, the bartender packaged the materials and sent them to other participants in the meeting. Almost at the same time, the figures projected on the table all lowered their heads to receive the materials on the terminal.The figure in the center coughed twice after everyone received the information: "Both 002 and 005 died on the spacecraft of the Interstellar Security Protection Agency."

"It's the spaceship Yang Wen took." Karen added, her voice was that of a young man.

"I didn't support saving Yang Wen at the beginning," said one of the figures.

"However, she used to be a major general, and she was also a "first-level hero" of the alliance. If we can win her support, our power will be further improved." Alice retorted. Unlike others, she used the own voice.On the contrary, this is a kind of reverse protection for myself. Everyone in the meeting did not use their own voices. Even if someone met Alice on the road and recognized her voice, who would dare to scream?

"But she rejected us as early as when she was an admiral."

Alice almost jumped off the high chair excitedly: "Of course we can't win her as an admiral, don't you forget who we are?"

"Then who do you think we are?" The man was also very sharp, grasping a little bit to fight back.

"us……"

"Alice," before Alice could speak, the figure in the center of the bar stopped her, "Stop talking."

"Even so, what's the use of fighting for a lost Yang Wen?"

Karen spoke for Alice calmly: "We have no strength in the military. Although Yang Wen has lost power, her subordinates and students may be willing to become a member of our military."

"Then do we have to sacrifice the test object?"

"The experimental product is gone, you can continue the research. And you just heard what Mr. Chang said, the experimental product 002 and the experimental product 005 we used have no follow-up research value and little follow-up research value, follow-up research value We didn't use the big ones."

"But do you know how much effort it takes to study a test product?" The speaker is a financial executive, and all the flow of experimental activities has gone through him. "Not only will it consume a lot of money and energy, but it will also consume a lot of energy. Do you know how difficult it is to collect the genes of exoplanets?"

"As long as Yang Wen agrees to join, I think these sacrifices are worth it."

"Karen, I don't think so." The figure in the center spoke again, and as soon as he spoke, no one dared to intervene.

"As a former major general, Yang Wen is a fighting hero in the hearts of the people. As long as she is willing to join, she can completely make up for the loss of the experimental product." The bartender said.

"No, Mr. Chang," said the figure in the center, "I'm not saying that Yang Wen's value can't make up for the loss. I mean, it's impossible for Yang Wen to join us."

"When she was a major general of the alliance, we tried to get her support, but she turned me away. After the Battle of Iser, her guide died, we went to lobby her again, and she took over .Why do you think she will agree to support us just because she is in prison?"

Karen disagreed with this, and the figure representing her stood up, appearing to be a bit taller than the other figures on the table: "But before the spaceship departed, I went to see Yang Wen, and she didn't give a damn. Our rescue measures are opposed."

"Then why Ji Xifeng found No. 002 and No. 005?" The figure in the center asked her, "—Sit down!"

After all the figures present calmed down, the figure in the center answered her own question: "Because she never thought about joining, she tried a way to make Ji Xifeng discover the abnormality. Ji Xifeng's fighting power, I think everyone Are you familiar with it? Experimental products No. 002 and No. 005 are just failed products. I think you are probably too whimsical to rely on them to block Ji Xifeng's blade! ——I know, you probably have never thought that the experimental products have to face each other. To Ji Xifeng."

"Our original plan was that after the test subject arrived at star D-06 with Yang Wen and Ji Xifeng returned to the central galaxy, the test subject would rescue Yang Wen by hand. Let the test subject follow the spaceship because we were afraid that Yang Wen would destroy our existence. Leak out."

"The result? It leaked out in the end. How many times have I told you, don't underestimate the sentinels who have experienced the Battle of Iser. Although some of them lost their guides and the spiritual world lost their protection, they also have their own advantages." , It’s not something we can handle casually. ——And Ji Xifeng, he is not a simple character.” The figure in the center finally said, “Okay, don’t do too many activities these days, Ji Xifeng must They will investigate us privately and stay out of the way for the time being. The meeting will be adjourned."

The figure in the center of the bar flashed twice before disappearing, and then the others disappeared into the bar without making a sound. Karen took off her mask and took a sip of the cocktail in the glass.

On the far edge of the Milky Way, a spaceship quietly landed on star D-06, and the spaceship escorted by the Interstellar Safety Protection Agency finally arrived at its destination after traveling for 58 days.
