sin of lumen

Lu Ting asked Fa Xiao: "So, are you a hostage now?"

"Almost," Shu Rui stretched with a cup in his hand, sat down in the co-pilot, and adjusted the focus of the camera so that his face could be clearly kept in sight. "There should be no life for the time being." Danger?" He glanced at He Zhensheng.

"Why not? The current risk is that he and I will die in a traffic accident in a no-man's land on the high seas." His silver-haired partner said, staring intently at the front, still turning the steering lever left and right with his hand, the unstable airflow probably hasn't stopped yet. past.

Shu Rui laughed when he heard the words, put down the mug, and looked back at Lu Ting's face with a very happy look: "How about you, how are you doing?"

"Very healthy, Dr. Shu," Lu Ting paused, and then said, "I saw just now that the stock price of SHOOPP started to plummet this afternoon."

Shu Rui saw his prevarication, but he didn't care too much. He fiddled with his fingers and said, "I disappeared in the morning, and the news will be known all over the city in the afternoon. It's normal for retail investors to sell in panic."

Lu Ting found it strange that since Shu Rui took over the burden from his deceased father at the age of 17, Shu Rui has always put the company above his life. Whoever made his SHOOPP suffer, he must double and bite back.

"Don't worry, the board of directors is very happy." Sure enough, Shu Rui didn't finish his sentence, and he said through gritted teeth, "I wish I hadn't been seen for more than two months, and I was directly judged to be missing for a long time. They are so legal, reasonable, and reasonable. Call a general meeting of shareholders and swallow all my shares."

"Do you want us to save you?" Lu Ting asked.

Shu Rui showed an unbelievable expression.

He Zhensheng cleared his throat: "Hello Officer Lu, please note that there are still two observers here."

"Just you," Lu Ting put his arms around Deng Mochi's shoulders, probably indicating that we are in the same group, "It's okay if you hear it."

He Zhensheng slid the mirror to the tip of his nose, and said, "Oh. How is Xiao Deng going to cooperate with Sir Lu to arrest me?"

Deng Mochi didn't express his opinion, but just stared at the reflected light spots on his glasses.

He Zhensheng returned to his smiling face, as if he didn't care, but Shu Rui raised his hands in surrender: "It's okay, leave me alone, it's still two months early. Lu Ting, don't worry about others, as far as I know Well, the No. [-] most wanted person on their search list is actually you, but you just blocked all the news from the media."

"Guess it," Lu Ting thought for a while and asked, "How is my dad?"

"Of course I'm mad, and the council is constantly putting pressure on you," Shu Rui pursed his lips, "And your brother, just let it go, and you'll die when he catches you.

"Haha, what about my sister?"

"Dr. Lu...is still working in the hospital, mainly in Xingu's laboratory recently," Shu Rui said cautiously, "I handed the child R179 to her this morning, and I met her. She is very haggard."

"Hmm." Lu Ting lowered his eyelashes.

"She thinks you might be dead. To be honest, I felt the same way just now. Do you want to call her, even for a few seconds? Or send an email?"

"Let's forget it," Lu Ting raised his eyes again, "It's better for everyone to think that I'm dead, and then things will go much smoother."

"So what are you going to do now in anonymity?" Shu Rui asked.

"Where are you going? Can't you tell me?" He asked again.

Lu Ting was silent for a while. He often hoped that the outside world would care less about him, especially this old friend. The questions he asked often made people not want to answer.But it would be too unconscionable to think like this—Shu Rui's kidnapping and He Zhensheng's arrest are all caused by him to some extent.

But now he doesn't even trust an explanation, he hesitates.

Just as he turned his face to see Deng Mochi call for help, his ears responded first.Just listen to that human said: "We want to go back to the capital."

As soon as these words came out, even He Zhensheng was stunned.

Deng Mochi looked at Shu Rui: "You give immigrants a physical examination, what are the items related to the brain?"

"MRI, isotope scans, CT, EEG, close-up scans of various parts... There are too many equipment items," Shu Rui said with a little doubt, "There are also a large number of questionnaires, which are mainly used to evaluate and record the health of the examinees. Values, psychological state and thinking mode, whether they can quickly adapt to extraterrestrial life."

Deng Mochi still stared at him like a kind of observation.

Shu Rui was stared at: "Is there any use for you to ask this?"

Deng Mochi asked back: "Have you finished talking about the purpose of the physical examination?"

Shu Rui was already angry, "These are all the contents of the second to third level of confidentiality, I don't need to report them to you one by one." He took a sip of hot tea dissatisfied, "And I don't have time for the last two batches of physical examinations. Participate, who knows if they have added or subtracted items."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Deng Mochi looked up at the sky with a look of "it's up to you", and began to meet his old friends on the cabin roof.Seeing that He Zhensheng was also watching the show, Lu Ting didn't intend to get involved, so he had to smooth things over by himself, "Xiao Rui," he said, "Actually, we suspect that none of those immigrants went to Mars, and all of them died. Returning to the capital is also to verify it. We don’t want to jump to such a big conclusion.”

"...I know, you guys are wondering," Shu Rui stared at him, "ASHELL GAME, MISSING PEOPLE MISSING SHUTTLES, aren't these two sets of words for the whole world to read? In fact, there are many similar voices in the market now, probably because of the influence of Mr. N." He said that the government has lied to us, and when the society is in chaos, the pressure on the parliament will be even greater, and your father will be even more angry."

"Do you think so?" Lu Ting unconsciously tightened his cuffs.

"I dare not guess." Shu Rui's eyes flashed, "I have been involved in the immigration plan for too long. I am also a part of it."

He Zhensheng said suddenly: "You don't have to worry about it. I already knew that the immigration plan was fake. My parents, brothers and sisters all died on it, and I didn't hate you."

Shu Rui said, "Why do I feel that you hate me?"

He Zhensheng shrugged: "Sweeheart, ignorance does not mean guilt."

Shu Rui lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind and organized his words, "It's like this, I used to be in the immigration health team, mainly responsible for the examination of cardiopulmonary function, Dr. Lu was in charge of the digestive system, and for brain function Related, we also heard from hearsay that it is a series of projects with the highest level of confidentiality, and a separate floor has been opened up in the medical examination center, and the doctor in charge is also a very experienced professor," he said quickly, "their research said that in space Traveling at ultra-high speed will face the risk of memory loss and disordered thinking, and they may not recover after the trip. Therefore, in addition to the routine inspections I just mentioned, they also have a complete set of inspection measures, but the specific techniques and procedures are up to me. There is no way to understand."

"It means that those tests are done to prevent amnesia on the way." Lu Ting concluded.

"Well," Shu Rui pinched the bridge of his nose, and said again, "In terms of imagery, it is to copy a person's memory and thinking mode as completely as possible. If the original one is broken, just put the backup back."

Lu Ting bit the tip of his tongue, and he was speechless for a while.Something aligns, a clue, a question, an anomaly.But he seems to lack a hand to put the puzzle pieces together.

Dun Mochi said, "Is it voluntary?"

"All the subjects have signed the consent form, and each time the list is notified inside the medical examination center," Shu Rui recalled, "On the one hand, you can't get the Ark's ticket if you don't go through these links, and on the other hand, Everyone is afraid that they will really lose their personality and memory during the move."

Dun Mochi exhaled, and stopped talking.

"If I remember correctly, the No.19 batch of immigrants has been postponed," Lu Ting considered. "The last time I followed them on a tour, I heard they said that the launch was still on January 1, but there is still no movement now."

"Hurry up, the new date currently set is February 2th, which is the day after tomorrow." Shu Rui pulled out a cigarette from He Zhensheng's pocket, "The delay is due to the bad weather last month, blizzard and sleet The snow took turns and fell for more than 8 days in a row.”

Lu Ting was surprised for a moment, his father had become so paranoid about this matter.He also saw a fleeting gloomy look in Deng Mochi's eyes.

"Then you are running to the capital at this juncture." He Zhensheng seemed a little worried, "Are you going to rob the medical examination center and figure out the procedures? I have been to that place and can lead the way."

"I'm going to the M01 receiving tower," Lu Ting didn't talk too much, "Which of you two has been there?"

"I had dinner at the Japanese restaurant on the ground floor, and the Summers Theater, and I was bored to go out of my way." Shu Rui spoke faster than before, as if he was talking about something extremely difficult to say.

Indeed, Lu Ting knew from an early age that this man was fascinated by drama.At an age when they had nothing to do and no worries to think about, Shu Rui always held up an old Shakespeare anthology in front of him, and read aloud with his Italian accent according to those ancient words, and had to match the intonation waving.Especially in "Macbeth", Lu Ting's ears were numb from certain passages, and he doubted that Shu Rui could recite it fluently.

"The Summers Theater is on the seventh floor underground, which is the bottom floor," Lu Ting recalled the information he found just now, "It's also called the Peacock Maze... It is said that if you don't follow the signs, you will get lost."

"Are you going?"

"We're going."

"I can take you to most places in that theater, including the backstage," Shu Rui crossed his hands, "provided that you can trust me."

"Thank you." Deng Mochi said suddenly.

"If you turn around now, you'll have time tomorrow night," he added.

Shu Rui showed doubts, as if he couldn't figure out how this person was so sure of his position, Lu Ting pointed to He Zhensheng's silver sunglasses, and said: "The dashboard is illuminated on it."

"I knew that the surname Deng's eyes are sharper than the camera," He Zhensheng clicked his tongue, pulled off his sunglasses and moved the two operating levers sharply, as if he was climbing rapidly and turning, "Stop talking, how about just now?" It's easy to throw off a small cyclone, now you have to go back and circle it again!"

The two sides lost contact for a while.

Compared to those two who were tossed in the sea storm, Lu Ting felt that his voyage was very smooth.He even found time to take a comfortable sleep and woke up from a deep sleep. LastShadow had left the frozen area. The map showed that it was at the far right of the Indian Ocean plate. The sky was bright and even warm.

Lucy, as usual, read aloud his sleep time.

Deng Mochi was the same as before, watching him quietly, also watching the saliva stains on the lapel of his coat.

Lu Ting probably didn't plan to wash it up and returned it.

Before arriving at the deserted coast of the capital, the two sides had another phone call to confirm the details of the meeting. After that, Deng Mochi landed the spaceship on the sea hidden by Aldebaran. LastShadow is hidden in the belly compartment of the Aldebaran, and in the city, the small Aldebaran-b is more suitable.

Lucy reminded that there have been three teams of reconnaissance planes patrolling the nearby airspace recently. Because she caught the signal keenly and turned on the stealth mode in time, she escaped a few disasters.

"You are awesome," Lu Ting said while setting up Aldebaran-b's new paint job on the tablet, "Keep working hard."

Lucy was very helpful in this, "Thank you, Mister Universe Stranger, sincere compliments are necessary, even if the other party is an artificial intelligence, this is still a manifestation of human friendliness and human warmth," but she immediately made a fuss again, "What are you doing to your fighter?"

"Beauty." Lu Ting looked at his Aldebaran-b. The painting has been transformed from the original frosted iron gray to the current glossy cherry red. indigo.When the time comes to the coastline, he will transform the spaceship into a speeding car mode. After all, it has been discussed. Lu Ting's next false identity will be a foreign nouveau riche. When he first arrives in the capital, he wants to meet the big stars in the theater. , You can't drive a fighter jet around the city.

At that time, he will have to change into the outfit brought by Shu Rui... What will it look like?As if he was a real rich man, driving his cherry red sports car, driving his beloved beauty through the streets and in mid-air.

Then stop at the base of that minaret, and go in to watch a play with a different accent.

This imagination is too good. At least, it is impossible to go for a ride. At this time, there is still a strong wind and heavy snow over the capital.

But Lu Ting was still in high spirits. He moved to his "beauty", "Boss, doesn't this painting look rustic, expensive and very rich?"

Deng Mochi commented truthfully: "It doesn't match you."

"Shouldn't we set up in a while, wait for Shu Rui and the others to come over," Lu Ting was inexplicably embarrassed, just like Deng Mochi called him by name and said that he was neither rich nor rich, and that he was noble, "By the way, these should also be brought. " He dragged Dun Mochi to open the safe again, and what was piled on the outermost layer were piles of banknotes worth [-] yuan.There are at least [-] stacks of stacks of [-] sheets.

Enough upstarts indeed.

"When you were not there, I kept saving money and sold a lot of things, and then I changed them into cash, which is the safest," Lu Ting explained, "because I think I have to leave sooner or later."

Deng Mochi pushed aside the pile of money, pinched a white corner that was exposed on the inner layer, and then pulled out a rectangular sealed bag.

It was the white gauze that was contained in the sealed bag.

Deng Mochi didn't take it apart, but looked intently and carefully at the lace mica and stars and moons through a thick layer of translucent plastic.

"Your hands are very clever," Lu Ting put his fingers on Deng Mochi's fingertips, and pressed the crescent moon together with him, "but I want to sew buttons for you in the future." He was endless Here comes such a sentence.

Deng Mochi looked down at him, that kind of deep scrutiny, as if wanting to engrave him in his eyes, made Lu Ting feel that the bag would be opened in the next second, and he would be put on the white gauze up.He was still pressing Deng Mochi's finger, supported by the other palm, he trembled slightly when he touched it, and he didn't know if it was his own.

At this moment, Lucy rang again: "Mr. Cosmic Vigorous, a K-97 spaceship has applied to enter the belly compartment."

Then Shu Rui's voice was switched in: "Open the door, open the door, it's getting dark!"

Deng Mochi stuffed the sealed bag back into the safe and locked it together with the banknotes. Lu Ting jumped off Aldebaran-b, opened the remote control door, and let the K-97 park on the tarmac next to LastShadow.With a total of three spaceships placed together, the "drawer" seemed crowded.

It seems that there is no time to go back to the interior of Aldebaran to see how the plants are doing.Shu Rui swiftly removed the large and small bags from the K-97. There were several sets of clothes, wigs, cosmetics, and SHOOPP's high-tech products. There were four pairs in total, which were imitation masks.After wearing it, only the eyes of the whole face are still your own, and the other facial features can be changed by the user from color to shape, and set to the appearance you need.

And breathable, light, the effect is natural, comparable to plastic surgery.

Lu Ting and Deng Mochi took their respective clothes and masks, and went back to Aldebaran-b to change.That kind of gorgeous and exaggerated suit, some gaudy chocolate brown and rhombic dark pattern, Lu Ting has never worn it before attending a dinner party, but he has seen many big scenes anyway, from how to tie a bow tie, how to cufflinks Dotting the eyes, he knew everything.After tossing himself, he helped Deng Mochi tidy up his wrinkled collar. Deng Mochi wanted to play the cold-faced bodyguard of the nouveau riche son. From the jacket to the trousers to the shirt, they were all pure black, and those green Eyes—too eye-catching, they have to become ordinary black.

However, he was very inexperienced in wearing contact lenses, and subconsciously resisted. After poking for a long time, the corners of his eyes were red at both ends, so he only put one in.

The other one was put on by Lu Ting while coaxing "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt" in a soft voice while holding his eyelids.

After putting it on, Deng Mochi closed his eyes and adjusted them, then opened them sharply, and stared at Lu Ting with those dark pupils.

Lu Ting's face was hot, and he took out a bottle of eye drops from his satchel, held it up dryly, and said, "You must tell me if your eyes are dry!"

Unexpectedly, Dun Mochi smiled slightly: "Will the boss give the bodyguards eye drops?"

Looking at the smile, Lu Ting realized that he couldn't say anything like "Then you drip it yourself", he pushed Deng Mochi's shoulder to reach for the mask on the table, "Then hide and drip it for you." .”

Deng Mochi nodded, but suddenly grabbed Lu Ting's wrist, and took out a bracelet-like jewelry, with the hole on the edge touching the side of his wrist bone.

It is probably made of silver, and the ring body is made slender, but the thickness of a stick needle. It is decorated with five small pendants, which are four stars and one moon, just like the crescent moon like broken snow on the veil just now.

Lu Ting recognized this little ring, which he had seen in the pile of odds and ends brought by Shu Rui.In terms of cross-dressing, Shu Rui has a lot of things.

"Do you want to help me put it on my hand?" Lu Ting raised his eyebrows, "Boss, you like this kind of thing."

Dun Mochi thought about it, but did not deny it.

Lu Ting touched the back of his hand, slid across Xingyue, and held the bracelet together with him, "But it doesn't match the person I'm going to play now... as you said, I'll put it away and wear it later. OK."

But Deng Mochi put his arms around Lu Ting's waist, half pushed and half hugged him on the edge of the table and sat down, with his toes dangling in the air, almost touching the ground, Deng Mochi squatted down and helped Lu Ting take off the shiny scarf on his left foot. Pointed-toed leather shoes, and black thin socks.A gap more than two fingers wide was stuck on the side of Lu Ting's ankle. When he pressed hard, the silver ring swallowed up the slender bone and stuck it firmly on it.

There is just a little margin, which is just right.

Lu Ting held his breath and opened his eyes, bent his knees, straightened his insteps, trembling from his ankle bone to his toes, the silvery white further accentuated his flushed skin.The soles of his feet were firmly held against Deng Mochi's palms, and they were burning hot. He stared blankly at this man who was willing to squat down, hold him gently, and wear a simple ornament for him, " Does it look good?" He asked softly.

"No matter what you see tonight, don't be afraid." Deng Mochi said, helping him put on his shoes and socks so carefully that he had to put on his mask when he stood up.

This time it was Lu Ting's turn to stop him, "I won't be afraid, but I want to apply to cross out two hundred points, you kiss me, cheer me up," Lu Ting rubbed his nose against the crowd, "Yes It's not easy to kiss with a mask, and it's not easy to kiss with pheromone perfume."

Deng Mochi didn't say much, just did as he did. When kissing, he wrapped his arms around Lu Ting's waist and tightly held Lu Ting in front of him. His hearing could distinguish the ankle ring from the cotton socks, and the skinny skin. Friction sound.

Mixed in between Lu Ting's panting.

Deng Mochi was skeptical about whether kissing could be a fueling effect, and he wondered whether kissing someone with too much blush and swollen lips would affect the effect of the film-like mask.

Facts have proved that it has no effect. The quality of SHOOPP's products is excellent. When the two of them covered all their features with mediocre faces and special perfumes, and stood one after the other at the door of the cherry red Aldebaran-b cabin, Lu Ting's expression also changed. was completely hidden.

But the ambiguous atmosphere that lingers around him can't escape Fa Xiao's eyes after all. Shu Rui looked up at him, changed his face, and still shouted in a fiery original voice: "Who said time is tight and who is dawdling in it?" Do something bad?"

Lu Ting looked at his golden curly hair, gray and black fur, the white dress inside the fur, and the strangle marks on his forearm outside the fur. He had no words to explain to himself, and he didn't turn on the voice changer, "Why are you wearing women's clothing? ?"he asks.

Shu Rui said generously: "I changed my mind temporarily. If you want to go below the bottom floor, you have to pass by No. [-] dressing room, which is full of female characters. If the four men swagger, the actresses will be scared."

He Zhensheng played the role of a local guide, wearing a light brown wig, dressed in casual attire, and leaned close to Shu Rui's ear with his jeans in his pocket, and suddenly said, "You look like Monroe, but you are too thin."

For some reason, Shu Rui's arrogance suddenly went out, "Who knows who Monroe is." He climbed up Aldebaran-b on suede high heels, passing Lu Ting and Dun Mochi.

"Miss Shu, I also want to change my mind temporarily." He Zhensheng stepped up the hanging ladder cheerfully and looked at him with his neck stuck, "Hey, can I play Kennedy?"
