Chapter 43

"Prince Aresvon of Gloria's father died in a mutiny by his own soldiers, and his brother died in a betrayal by his subordinates. On the way to escape, he was accidentally infected with the Rainbow Virus. It is said that the medical environment outside the territory was difficult to treat, causing his whole body to be damaged. Extensive necrosis had to be replaced with artificial organs. "

　"According to the regulations of the Anti-Ukrainian Society, using and manufacturing replacement organs that are exactly the same as the human body is a felony that disrespects nature, so they only provided him with alloy products, which made him look weird. "Three times disabled."

　"Over the years, the Anti-Ukrainian Association has repeatedly used the image of Ares Feng in anti-Ukrainian propaganda, vilifying him and using him as a negative case against the abuse of technology. Aris Feng's temperament is extreme, and his early experiences have made him He is extremely closed-minded, moody, doesn't trust anyone, and his relationship with the anti-triad society is just mutual use."

　Lin Jingheng said "hmm" thoughtfully: "This character sounds really friendly, like a pirate version of myself. "

　I also roughly analyzed the armed forces he had based on the information about his attacks on Star Gloria and Star Beijing..."

　"That's not important," Lin Jingheng interrupted him, "I need to know that he went from the eighth galaxy to the outside world. " , who is left with his old subordinates?"

　Zhan Lu: "According to the information I can collect, he only has three old subordinates who followed him when he fled outside the territory. They are..."

　"No need to introduce them one by one, search your database. All the underground black market information, preferably videos, news, candid shots, anything, can be cross-compared with these three people and give me the results directly."

　Zhan Lu was silent for about five minutes: "Sir, these three people . One of them is named Yuan Yiren, male, 220 years old, with sadistic tendencies, and a loyal follower of Prince Gloria. I searched for two images of him in the database. He haunts the underground black market. According to lip reading, According to analysis, people around him call him "Black Scale", or similar pronunciation. The second video captured the goods he purchased from the underground black market. "

　What is it?"

　"A beautiful snake." Zhan Lu Pingping said. He replied, "Very inhumane."

　"Oh, it seems that he is indeed very 'loyal' to Prince Gloria." Lin Jingheng narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

　Aresvon and the Beauty Snake are identical artificial deformities, which will give people unpleasant associations. With the character of Prince Gloria, if he knew that his confidants actually touched such things in private, he would definitely dispose of him. Eight dollars.

　So why did this Yuan Yiren risk his life to buy this kind of man-made monster on the black market?

　"Beauty snake" often has erotic and intimate connotations, and sadists often have repressed desires in their hearts.

　This is really intriguing.

　Zhan Lu asked innocently: "Sorry, sir, what are you implying? I didn't catch it."

　Lin Jingheng ignored him: "So Yuan Yiren is very familiar with the underground black market and underground waterways."

　"I'm afraid," Zhan Lu The answer, "Including common underground waterway locations, construction rules, jump point distribution..."

　Lin Jingheng continued: "It also includes the personnel composition of the underground waterway. He knows who will make a living on the underground waterway and has dealt with them. "

　Zhan Lu: "Yes, sir. He understands them, but even if he knows that these people are not a threat, he still wants to kill them all."

　"Understood," Lin Jingheng said, "Block the mouse holes to prevent snakes from entering - it seems I have to pretend to be a mouse today. I need some rapid muscle dissolving agent. [Note]

　Rapid muscle dissolving agent destroyed Lin Jingheng's almost perfect muscle layer in half an hour. Years of harsh life and uninterrupted exercise. After training, his body fat rate was very low. After the muscle layer was thinned, his whole body was almost erected.

　"Consume all the particle cannons and keep one missile." Lin Jingheng buttoned up her shirt, which was obviously loose. "Blow up the supply warehouse... By the way, there are still remaining soothing agents. Pour them out. Keep the packaging box. , Throw it in the trash to be disposed of. "

　Mecha Beijing is like a disassembled toy, meticulously executing all his orders.

　"Zhan Lu, block my personal terminal."

　The robot hand swept across his wrist, and the personal terminal dimmed. Unless there was a smarter decoding tool than the mecha core of the alliance's first mecha, it seemed to be in a damaged state.

　"You make a backup copy of the survey map, and then destroy this copy. Mecha Beijing's positioning system and all reference interstellar route maps are also destroyed. According to the line I drew, you make a copy of the interstellar route map, the blurrier it becomes. The better, adjust the state inside the mecha to the "minimum survival mode." Zhan Lu, after you are done, shrink your mental network, and then reserve all the backup energy in Beijing."

　Most of the equipment on the mecha Beijing is the same. Silence continued one after another. In the end, even the gravity system was shut down, and the entire cabin entered a state of weightlessness.

　"Now you are going to sleep," Lin Jingheng said to Zhan Lu, "until I call you through the spiritual network... Oh yes, I almost forgot, give me a shot of comprehensive blocking antibodies before you sleep, those poor pirates are too I like disgusting biochemical products."

　"Yes, sir," Zhan Lu asked, "In what form should I sleep?"

　Lin Jingheng glanced at the cabin and pointed to the wine cabinet.

　Two hours later, the pirates detected a mecha that floated into their alert range like a spacewalk. The mecha looked very embarrassed. A corner of its supposedly perfectly symmetrical fuselage was missing. I don't know if it was out of power or something. The power system did nothing at all. It rolled and crawled along the ground and slid at a constant speed. The defense system was even more ridiculous, almost non-existent.

　Such a thing is really not worth wasting a shell. The pirates who discovered this mecha immediately sent a vanguard to try to invade the opponent's mental network. Unexpectedly, it was frighteningly easy - the human-machine docking port of the mecha's mental network was empty. This little mecha with a intact mental network is unmanned!

　The Pirate Vanguard quickly reported to their superiors, and after issuing orders at all levels, the Pirate Pioneer who was the first to try to control the opponent's mental network carefully captured the mecha of unknown origin, and was shocked to discover that it was not innocent. There is also an "unconscious" pilot inside the man-machine.

　He didn't know how long he had been floating in the universe. He had probably run out of food and water. His lips were chapped, his face was haggard, and he was very thin. He was like a broken hemp rod.

　A total of eight empty soothing agent syringes were found in the mecha. The pilot probably exhausted the inventory and broke away from the mental network due to exhaustion. He didn't even have time to open the nutrient storage. If no one took him out, the oxygen would be lost in a few hours. If it is exhausted, he might turn into a cosmic mummy.

　On this mecha, which was about to run out of ammunition and food, there was a very specious channel map. The route marked on it was a new channel that had not been recorded so far.

　The vanguard did not dare to delay, and after quickly reporting the situation, they sent the person to the commander Yuan Yiren.

　Gen Yijin, the first general under Prince Gloria, already looks a bit middle-aged. He has a square face, a very high hairline, almost "extremely tall", broad shoulders, and a naturally raised mouth. He is quite fashionable. "Smiling Lips". At first glance, there is nothing special about him. He even looks kind-hearted. But once you are stared at by his eyes, within a moment, you will feel a creepy feeling. His smile is like an ancient smile. The hypocritical evil god in the legend stares greedily at mortals and their sacrifices.

　"Is that him?" Gen Yiren glanced at the unconscious pilot casually, "Where's his identity?"

　"It should be a smuggler on the underground channel. There is a vague map of the underground channel on the mecha, which is commonly used by smugglers." His star thief replied, "He was unconscious because he illegally left the mental network. Sir, I think A few milligrams of soothing agent can wake him up."

　"Well, let's fight." Yuan Yiren nodded nonchalantly at first. As he walked, suddenly, a ray of light leaked out, illuminating the face of the unconscious young man. "Wait, wait a minute."

　The pirate leader came closer, held up the man's face with two fingers, and squinted his eyes for a moment: "Do you think he looks a bit like a person?"

　The men looked at each other in confusion.

　Yuan Yiren didn't intend to listen to their reply, and said to himself: "He looks really like the guy from Silver Fortress."

　"Sir, are you talking about Lin Jingheng?" A short and fat subordinate next to him asked in a low voice, When he mentioned that name, he seemed a little nervous and subconsciously licked his lips, "This person..."

　Yuan Yiren laughed, stretched out his hand to touch the face of the unconscious man, and stroked the thin Neck and thin chest: "How could Lin Jingheng be so weak? Besides, what's so scary about a person who dies early and becomes a scumbag?"

　"Take off all the radioactive things and metal products on his body, including that Belt, check to see if there is a subcutaneous implant. If not, wake him up. I will talk to him. If there is, I will cut off his head." Yuan Yiren stood up and licked the area he had just touched. "He will be my most beautiful collection."

　Several pirates stepped forward and scanned the unconscious man's body, only finding a very old model on him. Apart from the laser gun, only the belt buckle and shoelace eyelets had a slight metal reaction. His body was cleaner than his face, and the personal terminal on his wrist was lifeless and unresponsive no matter how he swiped it. It was already damaged.

　There was nothing unusual about this man except that he looked very poor and pitiful, and his face looked a bit like Lin Jingheng.

　"Prepare ten milligrams of soothing agent..."

　"Wait," Gen Yiren interrupted again. He stood in the shadows and rubbed his chin slowly, "Before taking the soothing agent, give him a little greeting."

　"Yes, "The pudgy pirate was well-trained, "Bring the rainbow virus."

　The deadly virus pushed into the man's body, and the unconscious man began to struggle slightly uncomfortably. His hands and feet were held down, and his slender neck was stretched straight. , like a dying bird.

　Yuan Yiren looked at his furrowed brows and weak struggle with strange eyes. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was so excited that he could hardly sit still.

　After the rainbow virus lay dormant for twenty-four hours, it took root and sprouted in this beautiful body. First, it would make his whole body weak. Three hours after the attack, he would only have the strength to blink, and then his original limbs and organs would gradually fail. , the immune system will collapse. At this time, the necrotic parts will be cut off and beautiful transplanted organs will be installed, and the rejection reaction will be minimized. His body will become the most suitable plant for grafting and can be pruned into any shape.

　Stimulated by the rainbow virus, the "coma" man opened his eyes before they took out the soothing agent.

　"Water..." He spat out a word in a daze. His scattered eyes couldn't focus on Jiao. His fingers weakly hooked the corner of a pirate's clothes and slid down again. "Give me water..."

　Gen Yiren He nodded and put a glass of water to the man's mouth.

　The man was probably so thirsty that he almost drowned himself in the cup, but somehow he got the strength to take the cup away...even though most of it was spilled on him.

　He thanked him vaguely: "Can you give me another drink?"

　"Poor." Yuan Yiren shook his head, "Give him another glass of water and bring him a nutritional injection."

　The unlucky guy who seemed to be a smuggler was unconscious. Mental damage probably only accounted for half of the reason, and the other half was hunger. After all, there were no supplies on the mecha. After drinking two glasses of water and a tube of nutritional needles, he woke up completely. Perhaps he just noticed the pirates in the room. He showed a somewhat restrained smile that pleased him, his eyes moved quickly, and he looked a little cunning on the surface. , and anxiety.

　Yuan Yiren sat down opposite him with a kind look on his face, looked at him as if he were looking at a new pet, and asked gently: "What do you call it?"

　"Sea snake. [Note]"

　"Weird name, is it a nickname?"

　"No. , when the person who raised me found me, he was watching the live broadcast of the animal world, and the sea snake happened to be broadcast. "

　This is a typical name of the underground people of the eight galaxies. Yuan Yiren didn't pay attention: "What are you doing..."

　He said. Before he finished his sentence, he saw the young man in front of him staring at his face and interrupted his question: "I may have seen you somewhere... Are you Mr. Black Scale?" "

　Yuan Yiren's expression suddenly changed.

　The young man who called himself "Sea Snake" seemed to be unable to read people's faces and said happily: "I saw you once on the black market. You took a picture of that one. I'll help you with the ecological cabin... um..."

　Yuan Yi The person covered his mouth, his sticky and cold eyes looked like some kind of cold-blooded animal, and then he waved his hands to the surrounding men, motioning for them to get out, leaving only the two of them in the small cubicle.

　The sea snake didn't know why, and looked frightened. Yuan Yiren smiled suddenly, let go of him, and regained his kind expression, as if the scary expression just now was just a temporary illusion.

　"Sneakly going to the underground black market to buy pets is not very prudent to talk about, especially in front of your subordinates. Do you understand?" Yuan Yiren glanced at the sea snake. He was obsessed with this face, but he was really dissatisfied with it. Although his eyes were completely different, the special gray color still reminded him of Lin Jingheng, his personal enemy back then. It was really uncomfortable to look at.

　Gen Yiren made up his mind that once the rainbow virus breaks out, he will dig out these eyes and replace them with dark brown or black ones.

　As soon as they met, he almost had his deep secret revealed. At this time, Yuan Yiren's attention had been completely diverted. Before Hai Shen could formally introduce himself, he had already identified him as a gangster working in the underground black market.

　"Why did you drive a mecha with no ammunition and food to drift here?"

　Sea Snake was a little confused at first: "I...my navigation is damaged. I am hungry, tired, and exhausted. The final impression is that the match is always good. It's descending, and then I don't know anything anymore... Where is this?"

　Yuan Yiren looked at his expression: "We are almost outside the territory, where were you planning to go?"

　After hearing this, the sea snake was stunned for a long time, and then he raised his hands Holding his head, he cursed a string of obscenities with a vulgar accent unique to the underground world of the eight galaxies. This time, he didn't gouge out his eyes and he didn't look like Lin Jingheng. He was just a sewer with mud legs.

　Gen Yiren patiently pieced together a little bit of what happened from his words that sounded like an encyclopedia of scolding: "Smelly sister? The missing underground waterway administrator? Were you one of his before? You said he did it? What? Stockpiled arms and built his own base? "

　"That son of a bitch also has his own material reserve, at least two, and only he knows the coordinates." The sea snake gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone is afraid. They all opposed him to stock up on arms, but he didn't listen at all. He had weapons and supplies and controlled us all. He only gave us a small ration every day and treated us like working animals..."

　"What kind of work are we doing? ?"

　"Building a base, new energy systems, defense systems, etc... I don't understand. He only ordered us to work. We don't have enough to eat, and there aren't enough robots..." Sea Snake said incoherently, trembling all over. , "I really couldn't bear it anymore. I wanted to kill him, but my brother betrayed me and sold us to the smelly sister... They... they all died, and I was the only one who escaped from the base..."

　"Shh-" Yuan Yiren was like a warm elder, patting the young man's shoulder gently, "Calm down, calm down, it's okay now. Tell me, where are they? Maybe I can help you?"

　Sea Snake After hearing this, his whole body suddenly became excited. He seemed to realize that he was talking to the notorious interstellar pirate. His thick eyelashes trembled rapidly. He stiffly tried to control his expression and forced a smile: " In fact, I also..."

　By the way, although he hates the smelly eldest sister, there are probably friends in the base who he has been with day and night.

　"It's quite affectionate." Yuan Yiren thought.

　He interrupted the sea snake in a reasonable manner and said gently: "But there is no need to rush anything. I think you need to rest. You can rest here for a while. I will come to see you tomorrow."

　Twenty-four hours later, let's see what the meaning of friendship is . Can we defeat the virus?

　Yuan Yiren gently closed the door for him and left.

　Sea Snake──Lin Jingheng sat quietly for a moment, lifted up his sleeves, and looked at the pinholes on his arms.

　He lowered his head, murderous intent flashing across his pale face.

　The author has something to say: Note 1: The rapid muscle dissolving agent is equivalent to the highly efficient version of Botox in future time and space, but it is usually paired with a soothing agent on the mecha to relieve muscle spasms that may be caused by the soothing agent. The important point is that General Lin does not always have face-slimming needles.

　Note 2: Sea serpent: When the Trojan horse invaded, the priest Laocoon saw through the Trojan horse and warned the fellow Trojans, but he was killed by a giant snake that crossed the ocean and wrapped around his neck. "Sea snake" means: Whoever finds out about me, I will kill him╮(╯▽╰)╭
