Chapter 44
Chapter 44
After a dinner that he didn't need to eat, Shi Han walked out of the base and came to the ground.
The weather in Autumn Star is pleasant, and an evening wind with the fragrance of green grass blows through his hair, sweeping the bushes in the distance, making a rustling sound.The rotation period of the autumn star is almost the same as that of the parent planet Earth. It is 18:[-] interstellar standard time, and its star has just touched the horizon, and the sunset is gorgeous.
His thermal imaging saw a familiar figure, and Shi Han walked behind a tree.
Sure enough, Owen was sitting on the root of the tree, his eyes were looking at the sunset on the horizon, he was twirling a piece of grass with his right hand, the green juice was stained on his white fingers, and Shi Han didn't even notice it when he was standing behind him.
"Owen." Shi Han read softly.
Owen flicked like a frightened animal, but immediately suppressed his instinct.He looked back at Shi Han with a hint of surprise and regret in his eyes.
As vigilant as Owen, his mental power scans everything in the environment all the time, and his subconscious will tell him that the threat is approaching.Generally speaking, anyone approaching him would startle Owen out of the empty state, but Shi Han was about to post it, and he didn't respond.
Has his subconscious trusted Shi Han to this extent?
Shi Han ignored Owen's expression, and sat down beside him naturally. "Why, thinking about tomorrow's mission?"
Owen shook his head. "I'm thinking about it later."
"I have a question I haven't asked you." Owen turned his head, looked into Shi Han's eyes and asked, "As an AI, why did you come to this muddy water of human beings?"
Shi Han hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "Because this is not just a human problem. If the situation continues to develop, the consequences are something I don't want to see. How I know the details, I can't tell you for the time being."
Owen opened his mouth and didn't continue to ask.Everyone has secrets, of course he understands.
They were silent for a while, watching the sunset gradually sink.
Owen suddenly sighed softly, and murmured vaguely in a breathy voice: "Is it possible to succeed?"
Shi Han said honestly, "I don't know."
They knew each other was not referring to tomorrow's mission, but whether the royal family and the aristocracy could be overthrown, and whether they would be alive to see the new world when the dust settled.
"What if it fails?" Owen asked, his tone was not anxious, only calm.
Shi Han smiled at him.
"That's no big deal, try to survive, and I'll take you around the universe."
The corners of Owen's mouth were bent, and his eyes were full of smiles. "Is it escape?" He teased.
"Let's play while running away, with me as your AI, are you afraid of being discovered?"
"What if it works?"
Shi Han replied lightly: "Then you may not need me anymore, I'll just go around the Milky Way."
Owen suddenly turned his head to look at him, while holding Shi Han's wrist tightly with one hand.
Shi Han met his gaze in surprise, those gray-blue eyes were dazzlingly bright, and the emotion that had always been buried deepest was so obvious at this moment.
"Wrong." He said quickly, as if afraid of losing something. "I'll always need you, every day."
It was only after he said it that he realized how inappropriate what he said, a blush climbed up his fair cheeks at an alarming speed, and he explained upside down: "I mean, you are a good partner...uh...and friends... Even in a peaceful life...not...I want to say..."
While he was talking, he felt very stupid at the same time, he was just embarrassing himself and explaining to an AI.
Shi Han's words saved him from embarrassment in time. "I see."
Before Owen could react from the embarrassment, he suddenly felt warm arms enveloping him, and he fell into a warm and strong embrace. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and every inch of contact seemed to conduct electricity, making his brain almost blank, and his body Uncontrollably stiff, hands do not know where to put.
A deep and gentle voice sounded in my ear: "I will always be with you."
Shi Han didn't know why he made this promise, maybe Owen was too different from the tyrant in his previous life, and this difference touched him a little.
I will always stay with you……
Unless something larger than life separates us.
……
A week later, Changgexing base, underground prison.
Qin Xingyuan opened his eyes exhausted, all he could see was a spotless white wall, empty and pure enough to make people panic.
He has been here for almost a month.
Due to his aristocratic status and royal blood, Ive dared not do anything to him, and the empire did not allow the memory of the nobles to be retrieved, otherwise he would have been held in court by now, and the information of the Reform Party would be displayed to the entire interstellar , Everyone enters the execution chamber together.
During this month, Ive often came to talk to him, trying her best to threaten him, trying to get his purpose out of him.Qin Xing was far from being stupid, he never jumped into any of the traps she set, and always acted like a naive and righteous young master, but got some information from Ive instead.
He knew that during this period of time, his father was running around in the imperial capital for him, and probably used all available connections to delay the application for memory extraction and appraisal submitted by Sylvia.Father obviously didn't know why he went to Changgexing's base to steal information, and he probably thought it was a stupid thing he did in order not to marry Ive.
But no matter what stupid things Qin Xingyuan did, he was still Qin Haomo's child.
His father tried his best, but according to Ive's recent good mood, Sylvia's application will be approved soon.Once the application for memory extraction of the base staff was approved by the court, and the appraisal room issued the results on the day of the trial, his conviction for stealing base information was a certainty.Because he belongs to the royal family, he will not be sentenced too severely, but imprisonment for more than ten years is unavoidable.
Lock him up in prison for ten years, and the daylilies are cold.
Just as he was thinking, there was a warning sound from the door of the room before someone entered, and five seconds later, with the sound of a beep, the door that was tightly fitted to the wall slid open.
Eve walked in with a smile.
"How is your day, Qin Xingyuan?"
she asked briskly, handing him an apple.Qin Xingyuan didn't pick it up, so she pulled his hand over forcefully, opened his fingers, and stuffed the bright red fruit into it.
"Thanks to you, I'm doing well." Qin Xingyuan replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Then you will have a better life soon." Ive smiled happily. "Qin Xingyuan, although I know you won't tell the truth, I'm still very curious. Why did you steal the information of the Changgexing base? I don't believe this is an independent action. I guess there must be an aristocratic group behind you to order you?"
She thought for a while, and then added; "Perhaps your father sent you here? If he planned it, your actions would be too reckless...It's really incomprehensible. I feel that I am missing an important piece of the puzzle, and There may be a terrifying conspiracy behind the overall situation."
Qin Xingyuan suppressed the urge to shed cold sweat, used his best acting skills, and said angrily: "This is my own action, no one ordered me! As for why I did this, don't you think you know the answer? Your mother The two women betrayed the military secrets of the empire and hid the fox tail too well, I am here to find evidence to bring you to court!"
He really spoke like an idealistic innocent noble young master, which even made Ive admire him.
As expected of a child educated by a great aristocrat, the technique of turning black and white upside down, biting back, talking nonsense when seeing people and talking nonsense, is simply perfect.
Seeing that she was really speechless, Ave turned off the special recorder for the identification room in her sleeve.
"I really want to pry open your brain and see what secrets are inside." Ai Fu stared at Qin Xingyuan, and the look in his eyes made his hairs stand up.
"Unfortunately, the empire stipulates that it is not allowed to retrieve memories from nobles." She sighed, and she became happy again after a while. "But at least I can apply for the memory extraction of my subordinates, so that you will be convicted of stealing military secrets. Although this procedure is very troublesome, and there are many ignorant people obstructing it, the good news is that you can finally It's time for court."
"It's a pity that my mother won't be there. It's the turn of the Third Army to patrol the border during this period. I think she will be very happy watching the video. After all, she hates deception the most, and you deceived her."
Qin Xing lowered his eyes.
The day has finally come.
It seemed that Father and his allies were at their wit's end.
Is he really going to be thrown in prison for ten years?
He thought of what Shi Han said to him before he left: We will rescue you.Qin Xingyuan didn't believe it, how could they rescue him?This is one of the important military areas of the empire, a planet under the jurisdiction of the third legion, and it is heavily defended.
The empire has a joke: at the base of the Sinus galaxy, no extra molecule can enter without permission.
He was dejectedly thinking about the worst-case scenario, when suddenly, the alarm bells went off and the red lights came on, as if the whole world turned red.He froze on the spot, watching Ive become furious after a brief surprise, and then rushed out with the soldiers around him.
They didn't even close the door.
Qin Xingyuan was dumbfounded, and continued to stand in a daze for a while, letting the harsh siren shatter his incomplete thoughts to pieces.
The planet under the jurisdiction of the Third Legion is heavily guarded...
"It's a pity that my mother won't be there. It's the turn of the Third Army to patrol the frontier during this time..."
In the information he gave to Shihan, it seems that there is a timetable for the legion...
This is when the defense is weakest.
Qin Xingyuan was shocked and woke up.It was the Revolutionary Party who came to save him!Yes!They also need his political power, and this is an excellent opportunity to hit Sylvia!
To disintegrate her power and solve the myth of invincibility in this battlefield in a roundabout way, the opportunity will never come again.
Immediately he ran out through the open cell door, carefully finding his way to the surface.
