under bondage

=======================

[Now, it is impossible for you to leave. ]

The mastermind, Ao Gu, did not answer Chu Xun's question, but said this instead.

The sky outside has changed from the original azure blue to a turbid gray and black, the still air has become restless, the sudden hurricane has rolled up the dry and decayed vegetation on the ground, and farther away, the sea water spreads to the coast and forms a One huge waterspout after another, just a few interstellar intervals, this place is completely different from when they came, like the gap between heaven and hell written in classical literature.

Chu Xun quietly looked at the suddenly changing environment outside. After a while, he simply sat down on the white steps in the tower, and Natis lay in his arms again. Chu Xun focused on checking Natis' body. The body and trauma have obviously been cleaned and bandaged, and the clothes have also been changed. It is hard to imagine that the other party is just to throw his majesty into the energy column with his majesty neatly dressed. Sure enough, the idea is also different.

After a while, seeing that Chu Xun remained silent for a long time, and seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, Aogu explained to himself: [There are more and more black holes gathered around Skold, and they have been waiting for this day to come. Kodd has not come to an end because of the energy catastrophe, and they will try their best to swallow her up.Now is the best time.And what you just destroyed is the last spaceship here that can carry lifeforms away. ]

Chu Xun sat there and listened, but since the two of them seemed to be talking to themselves... the listening was just to amuse themselves, there was really no need to talk, so they ignored it.

The mastermind who claimed to be Augu asked: [Why don't you speak? ]

Chu Xun rolled his eyes, thinking that the question he asked was nonsense, since his focus was not on the front line, so what else could he say?

The other party continued to ask: [Do you also think I am boring? ]

"I'm very surprised that a mastermind would ask such a question." Chu Xun said.

[Tanyi often said that I was a boring guy, so after he 'gone', I have been studying hard. ]

"Oh, then your learning is really... not very good." Chu Xun closed his eyes after finishing speaking.

After waiting again, Aogu said: [Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask me now, we are going to die together anyway. ]

Chu Xun pursed his lips, hearing a mastermind say "death" made him feel a little funny, he did open his eyes and laughed, and said, "I take back what I just said, your study is quite effective." Chu Xun Xun does have a lot of questions that need someone to help him answer, anyway, there is no way to leave for the time being, no matter life or death, but he can't come and go in a daze, "So, as you said before, there used to be only Hai Laner here, so Ferdinand Not from Skold, so why did you take their ship?"

[Ferdinand... They claimed that they were sucked into Skord by a space black hole, which made me think that it was a very lucky family.Their own energy is weak, and they are of no use to Skold.So they came to the White Tower, they asked for help from the White Tower, and I complied with their request. In return, they finally agreed to take the carrier of the White Tower—that is, my carrier, and leave here.In their eyes, I am the mastermind here, and I am equivalent to the White Tower, but in fact I can really control as many things as imagined. ]

Chu Xun could only sneer at the self-mockery of a mastermind, and he asked, "You want to leave Skord to find Hailaner's descendants? Use Tanyi's method to continue to 'save' here?"

[Yes, but I also want to... go out and see.But then I found out that they were nothing but a bunch of disgraceful liars, there was a blue badge on the ship that was installed with a control system for people to drive, we made an agreement, so it lent me its body, so that my carrier had a container .Later, the ship was hijacked, Han Ge killed Hai Lan'er's family, and I hid in the spaceship and was taken to Han Ge's spaceship. ]

Chu Xun rubbed his chin and asked, "Why do you say Ferdinand is a liar? Why do they want to venture into a planet that has been abandoned for many years? Han Ge is just for looting? How does he know the so-called precious items? Since Is it for Hailaner and why did you stay on Hange's spaceship for so many years?"

[Ferdinand was very lucky, but it’s not like they said that they were just innocent people who were simply sucked into the black hole. Before them, many people died in the black hole around Skold. They deliberately entered Scord, but Ferdinand's luck was really good, allowing them to encounter an extremely rare black hole in space.And Han Ge and Ferdinand's family had colluded for a long time, as for Hailaner... I found it. ]

"Um?!"

"You said..." Chu Xun pointed to Natis in his arms, and asked, "Hai Laner of the royal family?" As far as Chu Xun knew, only the royal family in the entire Aolo Empire had the surname Hai Laner.

[No, there is a pure-blood Helaner on Han Ge's spaceship. ]

Chu Xun's throat tightened, and his heart beat fast, "Who? Who are you talking about?"

At this time, not far from Chu Xun below, a bionic man suddenly moved. He walked across to Chu Xun, his eyes swept Chu Xun and Natis up and down, and then sat down beside him.

He looked at Natis and said, "He's the second Highlander I've seen on Scord besides Tany Highlander in all these years." ]

"The second one?" Chu Xun didn't rush to ask, but continued following Aogu's question.

[For so many years, I have only waited for two Hailaner, and the other is called Jewett. ]

"Jewett?!" When this name appeared, Chu Xun almost jumped up.

[Yes, his name is Jewett Hylander.He was badly wounded, worse than he was. ] It points to Natis, and then continues: [I don't know why he came to the White Tower, but he jumped down by himself. ] The bionic man raised his slender fingers, this time he pointed to the energy column in front of him.

"Wait, you said Jewitt Hyland jumped into the energy column? Do you mean that he died in Skord? Or was he also rescued?!"

[Jewitt was badly wounded, he was badly wounded before entering Skrd, and fatally wounded when he passed through the black hole, he would not live long, after talking to me, he volunteered to put The remaining energy of oneself belongs to Skold.At that time, Skold settled down again for a short time because he waited for the return of Hai Laner again, but this time because Jewett's body was on the verge of death...not even thirty interstellar years. ]

It says Jewett Highlander is dead?Many years ago?And who was Jewitt Hylander, who was vacationing with ex-Queen Mina in an alien system when he failed to leave the palace a few years ago? !

Chu Xun couldn't believe his ears, but he really couldn't imagine why this self-proclaimed Augu mastermind could have made up such a "absurd" story to deceive him.

"What else did he say then, I mean Jewett Highlander?"

[He only left one thing. ] As he spoke, the eyes of the bionic man beside him suddenly lost their brilliance and fell to the side, while the other bionic man farther away from them suddenly stood up while stroking his head, and walked to Chu Xun. Before and after, it moved the previous bionic man aside and sat down, and then took out another thing from its own energy tank, which was not given to Chu Xun but directly put on Natis' finger.

[This is left by the other party. Although he didn't say anything, I think it should be left to the people related to him. ]

It was a ring, the front base was engraved with cumbersome sun patterns, it looked like both a ring and a seal.

Chu Xun's pupils shrank involuntarily, he knew this.

[After seeing Jewitt, I suddenly had the hope of finding other Hailaner, so I decided to leave here, but it was very difficult, because of the black hole, Skold had no connection with the outside world, and the White Tower could not receive it. to any news other than this planet.Until I met the Ferdinand family, I left with them. ]

"You just said...you met a pure-blood Helaner on Hange's spaceship...then, you, Alan Bell and Anel, the three of you left Hange's spaceship together, and you even lured Alan Bell came to Skold to find his relatives, so he is..."

[Alan Bell, he is a descendant of Hailaner. ]

Chu Xun couldn't help tightening his arms around Natis' shoulder muscles, and said in a trembling voice: "He is a descendant of Hailaner, he lives on Han Ge's spaceship, but... no, he doesn't have Hailaner... ..."

[Did you say his appearance?Alan Bell has a secret, a secret that only Anel and I know. ] As he spoke, the bionic man looked at Chu Xun with his dark blue eyes, and then said: [However, I won't tell you. ]

For the first time, Chu Xun felt that a mastermind would be so underwhelming, so underwhelming that it made his fists itch, but Chu Xun held back and asked, "Alan Bell... all these years, he lived on the spaceship... are you OK?"

Chu Xun's mind flashed Alan Bell's face, flashed the seemingly irrelevant words he said, flashed the laboratory and the blurry figure in the petri dish that Han Ge showed him, and flashed Natis When staying with Alan Bell, those unusual intimacy that may not be conspicuous but he can clearly perceive.

[Lan Zhang and I grew up with him, and Anel treated him like a younger brother. Hange was not often on the spaceship, and he didn’t treat Alan Bell very well, and even Alan Bell would be sent to him whenever he appeared. Entering the laboratory or being locked in a petri dish, he would always come out weak, but everyone on the spaceship knew why he was left here. ]

Chu Xun opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

[I accompanied him on the spaceship, like an ordinary playmate, and even forgot what I came here for, until the situation inside Scord was getting worse and worse, there was no way to continue to delay, Alan Bell also said that he wanted to leave the spaceship to find his family, so the three of us left together. ]

Chu Xun tried his best to restrain his inability to concentrate, and suppressed those unfamiliar but familiar emotional fluctuations, and said, "Afterwards, you met me and Natis, and after you weighed it, you had a new goal, so you tricked us into coming here." here."

Aogu did not deny it, but said: [You are right, but at least from the analysis of your heart rate and expression, I also provided you with some news that surprised and shocked you, didn’t you?And whether it is swallowed by a black hole or the end of the planet itself, my main body will be destroyed along with it, and the things in my sticky head will also become useless waste, so you don't have to worry, the only thing that will always be with Alan Bell Blue Octopus - Slimy. ]

Chu Xun stood up suddenly. He put Natis on his back again, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Where is your mastermind?"
