lyra sleepless

Yegor's identity was sensitive, and the place where he was imprisoned was not so much a cage as a ward.

The doctors and nurses who had treated Yegor were transferred here. They were notified tonight and were not allowed to move around without orders.Therefore, the cell was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of footsteps until late at night.

Yegor slept very lightly, and his keen hearing allowed him to recognize who it was immediately.He raised the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself, sat up and said, "Long time no see."

"How can you be willing to eat?" You Jing asked.

Yegor closed his eyes, leaned on the hospital bed, and said softly, "Unless you let that kid stop annoying me every day."

"I'm saving you!"

"You are trying to control me, You Jing. I understand the principle of success and defeat, and I am willing to go to jail, serve a sentence, or even be executed. But I cannot bow down to the empire."

"Don't bow down to the empire?" You Jing gritted his teeth and smiled, "With the empire, the Lyra can be stable. No one was injured or injured in Orpheus, and the freight and traffic have returned to normal. What else are you dissatisfied with? Just because I ruined the old regime that was riddled with holes?

Yegor's fingers curled up as if they were being burned, and he said firmly in a low voice: "Long live the Republic."

You Jing didn't say a word, the night flowed on his handsome face.He suddenly reached out, grabbed Yegor's arm, pulled him off the bed, and walked quickly outside the prison.

Yegor stumbled after him and asked in a loud voice, "What are you doing?"

"Prison robbery," he turned to see Yegor's surprised face, and added, "Escape."

"Are you sick?" Yegor tried to shake off his hand, but was firmly clamped.

"You hate the empire. It just so happens that I don't care about it. The bloody battle was just to clear Youjia up. Now this past is over. If you don't want to face the reality, I will take you away. You don't have to go with a When a tyrant gets married, you'll be fine with me."

"The enthronement ceremony is already in preparation, you throw everything away and leave, do you know what will happen? The war will come back! All the foundations you created will be wiped out!"

You Jing took him into his arms and said with a smile: "I'm glad you still pay attention to the news. Let's just say it, I don't care. I'm an alien. This sea of ​​stars is worthless to me. After I leave Regardless of the flood."

"But I care!" Yegor roared.

You Jing got closer, with a cold voice: "Do you care? Aren't you always denying, evading, trying to obliterate everything I have done? I gave your people peace and gave them the right to regain happiness. But you ignored it, and now I plan to destroy these, you tell me, do you actually care?"

Yegor withdrew from his arms, You Jing didn't stop him.He saw the Secretary-General leaning against the wall in despair, and the bleak light of the satellite fell on his feet through the narrow window.

His long hair covered his expression: "You don't understand."

You Jing clenched his fists and showed a gritted smile: "Up to now, you still think I don't understand anything, and I'm a child who can be perfunctory to me, don't you?"

Yegor turned his head and reached out his hand in the darkness to stroke his hair: "I treat you like a child. Because I understand that children will grow up and spread their wings away, and I can't catch you anymore You did a good job. I don't agree with the monarchy, but Qi Zhiwen's descendants did have a wise king. No matter how long this prosperity lasts, it has nothing to do with me. I have no hometown, no relatives, and a lifetime Dedicated to the Republic, even if it is only a rotten shell in the end, I have no energy to give affection to a new country."

"You want your hometown and your relatives, right? If I can give it back to you, can you..." You Jing paused, "Can you stop being so desperate?"

Yegor's gray eyes widened a little, and he murmured, "Impossible."

"Nothing is impossible..." You Jing replied quickly, "You are a clone, but your brain is real, and you are a living person with a record of origin."

He cautiously stepped forward and put his arms around Yegor, closing his eyes: "You are my home."

Yegor felt as if he had been electrocuted all over: "How do you know?"

A few days ago, You Jing took the time to meet Yegor's exclusive doctor at Helian's house.

"He can live for up to two years. With his current mental condition, it may be less than a year. But we have two solutions. The first one is to find his blood relatives, or at least similar DNA, and carry out gene therapy. We found an opera actress, immigrant, 70.00% similarity, but she died later. The second, simpler."

He looked up at You Jing, who nodded with a blank expression on his face, motioning him to continue.

The doctor swallowed and said: "Change his body. Use his brain to reshape the body. Our laboratory has succeeded once. It is not a problem to do it again on the same person. The risk is very small, but The new body will still have blood clotting disorders..."

"What did you say?" You Jing asked with his upper body leaning forward, staring at him as if he didn't hear clearly.

The doctor flinched: "Don't you know? Secretary-General... No, Yegor, he is not an immigrant. There was only one frozen brain on the spaceship that was discovered."

"I saw that spaceship with my own eyes to know what was going on. On Earth in 1977, a powerful country launched two probes to explore outer space, named Voyager. Those two ships really After traveling a long way, they flew out of the solar system and flew to a star field that humans have never set foot in. The spacecraft carried the language of our civilization, music, handicrafts and greetings to unknown aliens."

"But they never mentioned that there was a child's brain on board. Damn NASA!" You Jing burst into a swear word.

"Do you know who you are? The descendants of the most prosperous empire on earth, the family that ruled the most extensive territory on the blue planet, if it wasn't for the subjects holding the banner of freedom to overthrow the dynasty and shoot the royal family , you are the next emperor, dying of old age on a soft golden bed, and I will never meet you. And as luck would have it, Prince Alexei of Tsarist Russia is now the only remaining defender of the Lyran democracy, opposing Monarchy, against imperial power."

He dwarfed in front of Yegor and held his limp body: "Many historians have been searching for your body, and no one thought that it was taken away by the United States. They preserved your brain and sent it to the Space. You have four older sisters, you know?"

"I know," Yegor covered his cheeks, "I know."

There are four beautiful girls in the photo, and the little Yegor is hiding in their skirts.

"They all died in the massacre of the royal family, because the corset was so jeweled that the executioner had to shoot in the head, which is why only your brain remained. Your father, gentle and weak, and your mother A resolute queen who caused outrage because she tried everything she could to cure her son of hemophilia, which was passed down her mother's line."

You Lidai rose to the center, and Yegor was bathed in light purple light. Opposite him, the silhouette of You Jing gradually emerged from the darkness. The light was like a mirror, reflecting their completely different lives.

"So I want to go back to Earth. The Romanov family is not extinct. If you find relatives, your illness will be cured."

"No, the Lyra Empire cannot live without a ruler for a day."

"I'm the only one going," You Jing said firmly, "I know the earth, it's my hometown. And the Lyra, the Lyra belongs to you."

He took Yegor's hand and said earnestly: "You said that you can sacrifice everything for Lyra, then accept the trial and recognize the empire. Because the people here need you."

Yegor shuddered, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You are still my legal spouse. After ascending the throne, you can share my power. During the days when I leave Lyra, you have full authority to manage this country."

"Aren't you afraid of me making trouble?" Yegor asked, raising his eyebrows.

You Jing kissed his forehead, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you have the ability. But I believe, you love this place much more than I do."

They were heart to heart, forming an inseparable sculpture in a glimmer of light.

……

Ten days after the new emperor ascended the throne, a starship set sail secretly, the sky was full of stars, the man in black stood in the wind for a moment, and boarded the ship without hesitation.

Crotor rushed into the palace, his cat's eyes widened: "Aren't you going to see him off?"

Yegor, who was reading the words on the document, stopped, lowered his eyelashes, and said flatly, "It's not that I won't come back, it could be ten days at least, or more than a month at most. He said it."

"But……"

"Shut up, stop talking, I will abolish the title of Marquis Elector before your Majesty the Emperor returns."

Crotal shut his mouth aggrievedly.

Yegor finished his day's work, and only then did he allow himself to think about traveling.He stood up and walked to the window. The night sky was filled with mist. Now he no longer had the anxiety he had when he just lost his sight, and his mood became clearer and calmer.

There are still 29 days, he wrote down hard in his heart.

Games will be back.
