Mendes stood in front of the door, reaching out to push the door open, but hesitated, as if there was someone inside the door that he wanted to see but dared not see.

However, he quickly made up his mind and pushed open the door, but he seemed a little dazed when he saw the black-haired man in the room flipping through a book.

Sensing someone coming in, the man in the room just looked up at Mendez, then said nothing, and continued to look down at the book.

"Lian Jiu, you..." Mendes was a little confused, not knowing what to ask.

"It's okay." Lian Jiu replied directly, without looking up again, he was used to the situation that Mendes didn't know what to say every time he came, but he came several times a day.

Mendes didn't say anything, just sat aside, watching Lian Jiu intently.

The room became quiet, only the soft breathing of the two, and Lian Jiu's uninterrupted flipping of books. The sunlight illuminated the room from the window. Such a peaceful scene calmed Mendez's chaotic mood.

Mendes has been looking forward to such a scene many times, but every time it fails, each time the result is a quarrel or indifference, as if something separates him from that person, no matter how much he wants to get closer, how can he not Begging with shame, that person never pays attention to it, and never explains it.

Only in the long memory can I see the young man holding a book that is too big for him, quietly looking at the pictures on it, and then turning his head and smiling at him.

But such a scene was interrupted by a series of "beeps". Lian Jiu, who was disturbed, turned his eyes from his book to Mendes, raised his eyebrows at him, and signaled him to leave quickly if he had something to do.Mendes frowned and looked at his communicator. Before he could see the information on it, he heard a loud noise not far away. It was obvious that someone had invaded this planet exclusive to Mendes, and with Those bodyguards exchanged fire.

When Mendes saw the above information clearly, his expression changed immediately. While hurriedly looking out, he said to the person standing outside the door: "Dixon, take Lian Jiu to the second floor of the basement."

After finishing speaking, Mendes, who had already opened the door with one hand and was about to leave, paused for a moment, and then seriously said to Lian Jiu: "I will definitely protect you, I promise."

Then, Mendez hurried away.

Dixon walked up to Lian Jiu quickly: "Mr. Lian Jiu, please leave with me as soon as possible."

Lian Jiu put down the book calmly, without changing his expression, as if the approaching danger didn't bother him at all, then he got up and followed Dixon away.

Dixon's movements are very fast, and it takes only two seconds to enter the password each time. There are checkpoints every few tens of meters, because this is the residence of the Imperial Prime Minister Vogt, and he always likes to put his own place It was turned into a fort, which he later gave to Mendez as a coming-of-age gift.And now, it was this strict and cumbersome protection that delayed them.

The two came to a door, and as long as they passed through this door, they could reach the second floor of the basement.

Arriving here, Dixon also breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure was not only because of the imminent crisis, but also because of Lian Jiu behind him.He reached out to enter the password, but he never had a chance, because a dagger was suddenly cut across his throat, and the movement was crisp.

Dixon's body fell to the ground without a sound.

Lian Jiu put away the dagger, which was the only weapon on his body, and then he walked to the exit on the other side of the corridor, pressed a series of numbers on it, opened the door, and walked in.

This is Mendez's equipment library, but Lian Jiu got the password at some point.

Then Lian Jiu walked to the frontmost spaceship, which was Mendez's spaceship. He entered a string of more than 20-digit numbers on the panel displayed in front of him. After a week of waiting for everything to be forged, humans reactivated the digital code that had been discarded by them for a hundred years, and Lian Jiu did not know when he got the code of Mendes' spaceship.

"The password is correct, the spaceship is on." A mechanically synthesized voice sounded, and the hatch opened.

Lian Jiu, who was about to go in, froze suddenly, with an expression of difficulty in execution, because there was a man who looked exactly like him standing in the spaceship, looking at the other side.

Three seconds later, Lian Jiu looked at the motionless man opposite and realized that this was just a projection.

Lian Jiu walked into the spaceship, sat on the driver's seat, and began to try to control the spaceship with some jerky movements. This equipment warehouse has a special structure, and the spaceship can fly away directly from here, which is to prepare for possible escape.After all the preparation procedures were completed, Lian Jiu stopped and looked sideways at the projection.

From this angle, the face of the projection can be clearly seen. For many times, Mendes sat in the driver's seat and turned his head to look at the projection.Lian Jiuzai looked at the projection carefully. Even though they were exactly the same, the temperament between the projection's brows and the slightly raised corners of the mouth could separate the two. This person was Imperial Marshal Lian Yi.

Lian Jiu, or Lian Yi's clone 009 just looked at Lian Yi quietly, no one knew what he was thinking, even though he turned his head and pressed the button.

"It's about to fly, please get ready, start the countdown, three, two, one."

The spaceship began to lift off, maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe someone did it on purpose, the two sides in the exchange of fire did not try to attack the flying away spaceship, but just let it fly into the boundless universe.

Mendez stood on the ground and looked at the spaceship that was getting farther and farther away from him and gradually disappeared. His eyes were calm. He felt that he was already used to this kind of parting. There was no explanation or farewell. He just looked at the back of his body, and then slowly said to himself: "I just want to protect you."
