Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

Two hours later, the starship finally arrived at the capital and landed on the tarmac of the star port of the military headquarters.

When disembarking from the ship, Shen Qiran saw several high-ranking military officers accompanying him. They were all familiar faces. They greeted Shen Qiran politely, but Shen Qiran's pupils shrank suddenly, and his back felt chills.

——One of them was parasitic with worms.

It was an indescribable feeling, it was not right to say it was intuition, it was probably like the Zerg distinguishing the same kind by smell or pheromone, just by looking at it, Shen Qiran knew that this person was parasitized.

Those who can follow Shao Xing to the Niaya Empire, even if they are not his confidants, are also important figures in the military department. Even such people have been infiltrated, so what about the others?Around Shao Xing... How many such hidden dangers are still lurking?

Thinking of this, Shen Qiran shuddered.Even if the Zerg Queen was injured, the worms were just hibernating for the time being, but what if something like Xia Shuyun happened again?Or, one day when the Zerg Queen regained her vitality, she suddenly awakened all the bugs?

In a trance, Shen Qiran had already stepped off the starship with a few people.It's noon local time now, and several high-level executives are planning to return to the military headquarters to continue their work, but Shen Qiran's work is of a special nature, and there is no problem going back to rest for half a day. When someone asked Shen Qiran whether he should be sent back to Shao's residence directly, Shen Qiran shook his head.

"No." He said, "I'm going to the military headquarters too."

***

Standing in front of the military headquarters building again, facing the glare of the noon sun, Shen Qiran suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

It had only been five days since he left the royal capital and returned to the military headquarters, but it seemed like a lifetime had passed for him, and when he returned to the familiar environment, he felt that things were different.

In the mental power research center of the military department, everyone was working in an orderly manner. When Shen Qiran came in from the door, many people greeted him with a smile, and Shen Qiran forced a smile to respond.He traveled to every corner of the research center, and finally came to his own department - the research department of non-psychic music.

Annie and Kerry were sorting out the data analysis table on the optical brain, and when they saw Shen Qiran pushing the door in, they were both stunned.

"Minister?" Annie stood up subconsciously, "Why are you back?"

Shao Xing's urgent return to the military headquarters is an extremely confidential matter, and most people don't know it.But Anne and Kerry knew that Shen Qiran would go on honeymoon after this visit with Shao Xing, so why did they come back in just a few days?

"I have something to do temporarily, so I'm back." Shen Qiran forced a smile, "Where's Dr. Langdon?"

He walked around the entire research center just now. Fortunately, the people in the research center did not find any signs of parasitic worms, but he did not see Langdon, Shao Xing's closest friend, who was also a member of Shao Xing's spiritual promotion team. An important person who is closely related, he must confirm whether there is a problem with the other party.

"Boss Langdon?" Kerry scratched his head. "I helped him move a batch of documents this morning. If he wasn't here, he should be on the 27th floor."

In addition to the Mental Power Research Center, Langdon also has an independent office on the 27th floor of the military building. Shen Qiran immediately went to take the elevator and went directly to the door of Langdon's office.

He knocked on the door a few times, and soon Langdon's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Shen Qiran pushed the door open and walked in, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately fortunately.

Langdon was fine.

"Qiran?" Seeing the person who came in, Langdon was stunned for a moment, then became happy, "I'm going to find you, do you want to ask about Shao Xing's situation?"

"Yeah." Shen Qiran closed the door cautiously, and sat opposite Langdon, "I'm worried about him...is he okay now?"

"There is definitely no danger to his life, but it is hard to say whether he can be promoted successfully."

This answer was within Shen Qiran's expectations. He believed that Shao Xing, as the protagonist, would be safe and sound in the promotion, but the necessary experience was also indispensable. It would definitely not be so easy to achieve final success.

"Is he in the military department now?" Shen Qiran asked.

Langdon shook his head: "He has already moved to a more secret and safe place." He glanced at the time, "I have to rush there in the afternoon, and I probably won't come back until Shao Xing is successfully promoted." Shao Xing's promotion is a top priority, and Langdon must keep an eye on the data all the time. If he hadn't had to make arrangements for the handover of the military work, Langdon would have left with Shao Xing long ago.

"How long will this promotion process take?"

"It's hard to say." Langdon shrugged, "A few months at least, a year or two at most, it depends on Shao Xing's aptitude and his understanding."

It will take a few months at the earliest... Shen Qiran thought wistfully.

At that time, I am afraid that I have been completely assimilated long ago.

"Do you want to talk to him now?" Langdon's words quickly brought Shen Qiran's thoughts back to reality, "The danger in the early stage of promotion is not so great, and he spends more time awake, so make a phone call and say a few words , it can still be done.”

Shen Qiran stared blankly at the smartphone that Langdon handed over. He subconsciously clenched his left hand, and the raised end of the black tail ring was deeply embedded in his flesh, causing a faint tingling pain.

"No need." He smiled softly at Langdon. "I don't want to distract him. I'll contact you after he's successfully promoted."

***

In the afternoon, Langdon left.

Standing in his office, Shen Qiran watched the man get on the star shuttle through the window, and the car drove towards the star port of the military headquarters.From this, it can be inferred that not only is Shao Xing not in the capital, but he may not even be in the imperial capital.

The scene of parting from Shao Xing seemed to have happened yesterday. Shen Qiran stood by the window for a long time. It wasn't until the music sounded that he realized that it was time to get off work.

Using the smartphone, he sent a message to Aunt Mei, saying that he would not go back for dinner, Shen Qiran did not take the Star Shuttle, and walked aimlessly on the street in the evening alone.His mind is still very messed up now, or in other words, he is very, very tired. The established trajectory of life is suddenly forcibly twisted to a direction that he never imagined. Philosophical questions to think about.

who I am?where am iWhat is my fate?

He has to suspect that this is the force majeure of the plot, no matter how he saves himself, he finally returns to the same path as the original owner.As for his own ending, I am afraid that he will be the same as the original owner, unable to escape death, or even...

He will still die in Shao Xing's hands.

When he first crossed over, thinking of this possibility, Shen Qiran would feel terrified, but now...he only feels sad.

Powerless sorrow.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sky became darker and the street lights came on one after another. Shen Qiran looked around in a daze, and found that this was a strange street that he had never been to before.There are various shops lined up on both sides of the street, with colorful neon lights on, chattering and laughing crowds keep passing by him, mixed in the bustling crowd, Shen Qiran feels lonely like a different kind, out of place with the surroundings.

Is this all real?Are their lives real?Is this world... real too?

Confused eyes swept across the bustling street, Shen Qiran saw a unique Star Shuttle car approaching from the end of the street.Generally, only big families with a long history would customize this kind of retro star shuttle car, and the identity of the owner of this car must be very prominent.

Shen Qiran glanced casually at first, but as the car got closer and closer, he was suddenly startled and looked at the car suddenly.

He felt it.

People like myself.No, it should say ethnicity.

This was a completely different experience from perceiving the worms. It was like being connected by blood. He was very aware that the other party was his own kind, and he was very sure: the second emperor served by this kind of ethnicity was also Esther.

Almost at the same time when Shen Qiran sensed the other party, the star shuttle car that was driving at high speed suddenly slowed down, then approached all the way, and finally stopped in front of Shen Qiran.

The car door opened, and Shen Qiran was taken aback when he saw the person sitting inside, but soon felt that it was reasonable.

——It was Viscount Kenzie.

This loyal confidant who has been following Esther's side is also Esther's ethnicity, which is completely reasonable.I just don't know whether his "loyalty" comes from the family tradition, or whether he "has to" be loyal because he has become an ethnic group.

Kenze's wine-red eyes lingered on Shen Qiran for a few seconds, then he suddenly sighed.

"Get in the car," he said.

***

There is a fender between the cab and the rear seat of this Star Shuttle car, and when the door and the small window of the fender are closed, the cabin is a completely enclosed space.

The back row of the carriage was transformed into a small rest area. Shen Qiran sat down on the seat opposite to Kenze. The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and Shen Qiran spoke first.

"How long have you been like this?"

"Almost five years," Kenzie replied.

Five years... Shen Qiran thought vaguely.

Isn't that when Esther suddenly left the capital to go out to practice?At that time, Esther... had already become the second emperor?

"What about you?" Kenzie asked. "How did you get the Mark?"

Perhaps it was because of an urgent need for an outlet to vent emotions, or because they were of the same kind and had a natural sense of trust. Shen Qiran recounted everything that happened in Princess Rose's palace that day. After listening to it, Kenze fell into a long-term depression. silence.

"His Highness Xia Shuyun was actually..." He sighed quietly, as if talking to himself, "That's right, after all, only the Second Emperor can kill the Second Emperor."

Shen Qiran was taken aback, just as he was about to say something, Kenze had already guessed what he said first, "Even if one day, Her Highness Aise would end up in the same way as Xia Shuyun, we would also be killed by the second queen who killed him." Inheritance. The shackles of ethnicity can never be removed and are irreversible, you'd better not have any illusions about returning to normal."

The flame that burned for a moment was completely extinguished by the cold water, and Shen Qiran became tired again.Kenze opened the wine cabinet next to him and asked him, "Would you like something to drink?"

Shen Qiran shook his head wearily, he looked out the window, the star shuttle car was driving slowly on the street, the bustling night scene was reflected on the window glass, colorful.

"Where are we going?"

"Send you home." Kenze poured himself a glass of wine, "You can be considered a celebrity now, this ghostly appearance wandered around all night, do you want to make another hot search?"

"...I just want to relax."

"Letting your mind won't change anything." Kenzie's tone was calm, but also very cold, "You have to face reality."

"What reality?" These words hit Shen Qiran in pain, and he suddenly became agitated, "Is it the reality of being enslaved and controlled? I am a human, a normal person! I am not some shit!! Obedience to the hell group consciousness, isn't it just a strange thing in the spiritual consciousness? Just want to dominate my life?! Go dreaming!!"

Kenze listened quietly to his roar, then took a sip of his wine leisurely and bent the corner of his mouth.

"His Royal Highness Esther was just like you when he was parasitized, and even the two of you roared in the same way."

Shen Qiran was taken aback: "He...was also parasitic?"

"Otherwise?" Kenze shrugged, "Would a normal human being tolerate being a strange and disgusting alien? He left the capital suddenly and wanted to find a way to solve it. Unfortunately, he soon mutated into the second emperor. Resist the invasion of ethnic consciousness."

The man sighed regretfully, with a bit of emotion and sadness in his voice: "I watched him go from struggling to surrendering little by little. We have experienced it, and he has also experienced it. Now His Royal Highness Esther... is no longer the person we used to know. that's him."

Shen Qiran and Kenze are not familiar with each other, the only time they met was at the military dinner a year ago.But the original owner and Esther had a close relationship. Perhaps at that time, Kenze and the original owner also had a lot of dealings. Although Shen Qiran didn't know what Esther was like before, seeing the changes before and after Xia Shuyun, he It's not hard to imagine what a drastic change has taken place in Esther.Kenze witnessed everything with his own eyes, and his feelings naturally deepened.

But compared to Esther and Xia Shuyun, Shen Qiran feels that Kenze is more like a normal human being. He is not crazy, he also has empathy, and even... he has sympathy and kindness for himself, which is different from the family in Shen Qiran's imagination. The state of descent is very different.

"Is that you?" Shen Qiran asked suddenly.

Kenze's eyes turned to him: "Huh?"

"Before I went to the Merdale Conservatory, I received an anonymous note and an anonymous letter." Shen Qiran said, "Did you send it to me?"

The author has something to say: I guess 99% of people have forgotten who Kenze is. (dog head)

It's the one who gave the chocolates to the third prince Isaiah (Miss Haitang). It appeared in Chapter 20.is a good man!

PS: After reading everyone's comments, I feel that most of the people are scared away by this plot... I am also very entangled, after all, the outline has been set, and it can't be changed if it affects the whole body.

Damn, I also saw that some people were struggling with the issue of cleanliness and NTR, but they were forced to, and they were morally condemned. I was actually a little sad.Actually, I don’t want to spoil it, but I’d like to say a little bit more: Of course, the cover will be changed in the future. What happened to him now can be seen as he is running the plot for the original owner. When the plot is over, the cover will be useless up.It was hinted at the very beginning of the copywriting that one day Shao Xing will know that Ranran and the original owner are two people, and the key event that triggers this recognition is the current plot.

Finally, I would like to thank the believers, Tianzhiwan Fireworks, Sheng Yuanjin, 46685451 and several little angels for their thunderous throwing!Thank you Shangui cherub for the grenade!mwah!
