He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 25 Fei Lian

Su Ling walked back to District N, and part of the snow at the gate of No. 12 had already been swept away by the cleaning vehicle.

The orange cat stepped on the snowdrift, rubbed around his legs, and looked up at him eagerly.

I'm afraid it snowed all night and there is no place to fill my stomach.

Su Ling went into the house to take the cat food, and found the silver snowflake-shaped key lying in the corner.Must have left it last night.

He put the key in his pocket and sat on the steps to feed the cat.

The orange cat's hind limbs can already move flexibly. Although the mechanical part looks very conspicuous, it doesn't care.The cat ate and ate, kicked Su Ling, then jumped onto his knee to flatter him, and rubbed against his chin with its face up.

The holographic terminal vibrated for a moment, and a news broadcast popped up.

"It is reported that the wanted criminal who escaped from Shakespeare City has appeared in the marginal galaxy recently, and is suspected to have fled to Feilian Star. Residents of Feilian Star should be vigilant, and if you have any clues, please contact the local police department immediately."

"Toyota Star's communication has been interrupted recently, and it has entered the third-level alert state. Deputy General Yasui of the Alliance Army has led his troops to go."

"Currently, the Ministry of Science's research on humanoid weapons has not made any progress, but according to relevant sources, it is hoped that within five years, the coordinates of the distant star sea will be known."

……

Su Ling didn't know how to turn it off, and quietly dazed in the sound until the news ended automatically.

The orange cat in his arms yawned, shook his body, took out something from Su Ling's pocket, turned his head and ran away.

I never wanted to bump into the black boots head-on, and was picked up.

After pulling out the car key from its mouth, Xiao Huaiyan put it down.

Su Ling felt that Xiao Huaiyan looked at him with very complicated eyes. He seemed to hesitate to speak, but in the end he said nothing and threw the key to Su Ling.

"Since you took it away, keep it. Anyway, you can open it for others." Xiao Huaiyan didn't look at him, and walked impetuously when he passed by him.

Su Ling didn't quite understand, he clearly said "thank you" and also said "I like it very much".

So he spread out his palm seriously: "This is for you."

Xiao Huaiyan endured it, his fingers on the doorknob tangled repeatedly, and finally took the key in Su Ling's palm, and went into the house.Su Ling stayed at the door for a while, and heard "It's cold outside".

The snow on the treetops shook off the ground.

Su Ling sat on the sofa in the corner, quietly watching the snow falling outside.He was holding the cold pocket watch, and the golden chain was wrapped around his fingers like a shackle.

Hearing Xiao Huaiyan's footsteps, he intuited what the other party was going to say, so he turned his head at the right time and looked straight at Xiao Huaiyan.

Xiao Huaiyan didn't seem to expect it. He looked away and coughed: "How does that person... treat you?"

Su Ling was taken aback.

Does that person... refer to his other "personality"?

He already knew?

Su Ling thought about it and said, "I don't know."

He saw the shallow smile on the corner of Xiao Huaiyan's mouth suddenly disappear, and his eyes were dark.

"Then why are you going to the hospital?" The familiar mocking tone, without any warmth, "Could it be that you still go to see someone?"

Su Ling said, "That person—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly.

"Don't mention that person in front of me in the future," Xiao Huaiyan said in an unquestionable tone, "Don't forget, I am your contractor. From today on, don't see that person again."

Seeing that Su Ling didn't speak, Xiao Huaiyan suppressed his displeasure: "Why, can't it be done?"

"I can't decide." Su Ling said honestly.

Xiao Huaiyan took a deep breath and clenched his fists.He left a word and went upstairs to his room.

"This is an order."

At that moment, there was an extremely slight tremor in the depths of Su Ling's mind, followed by severe nerve pain.

This is what contracts do.

Because a weapon will absolutely obey the order, but it will never betray the other party of the contract.

Commands that create paradox don't work, they just bring nasty feedback.

From the corner of his eye, Xiao Huaiyan caught a glimpse of him standing still, like a silent resistance.A wave of restlessness prompted him to quickly leave Suling's field of vision.

It wasn't until his back disappeared from sight that Su Ling slowly fell down along the sofa.The slender fingers gripping the artificial leather were pale and almost transparent, and his eyes were wet with thin sweat from the pain.

"Suling!" He heard hurried footsteps, and someone was calling him.

There was silence in the closed dark blue cabin, and the cold air was quietly discharged from the circulation port.Tiny white lights lined the ground, outlining hidden paths from the darkness.

Not far away, light spots began to flicker around the transparent dormant cabin, illuminating the dark slime covering the cabin.As if it had been burned, it exuded a dirty stench.

The faint and rapid heartbeat sound gradually spread from the cabin.

With a low panting that was almost suffocating, the dormant capsule popped out of the inlay, automatically unlocking the safety lock.Almost at the same time, the slender fingers clasped the edge of the cabin, the knuckles turned white, trying to use the strength to support the body.

However, the lingering heartbeat still beat irregularly in the dark cabin.

The person who managed to get up was like waking up from drowning, but when the air he breathed passed through the nasal cavity and throat, it was like a knife cutting inch by inch, and the smell of blood and flesh filled the cranial cavity instantly.Coughing violently, he fumbled in the void for a moment, and with a "beep", the lights above his head turned on.

The people in the dormant cabin are almost in a mess.The black clothes and pants were soaked in the dormant liquid, and there were still unclear dirt.Her hair was messy, almost covering half of her face, her chin was covered with stubble, her lips were pale and chapped, and the blood at the corner of her mouth hadn't dried up.The only thing that can be recognized is probably the pair of dark eyes, half closed due to the severe pain, but filled with a faint ray of dawn.

The droid flipped over to his side, offering a spray.

After a while, he slowed down.

He climbed out of the hibernation cabin, and the mucus covered the place he passed with heavy steps.He didn't care until the terminal in the corner vibrated.

He stopped in his tracks, remembering that there should be no communication signal here.

The terminal is placed on the edge of a large area of ​​glass, and there are countless thick and tangled vines outside. They are layered on top of each other, restraining the flying ship in its arms.

He looked at the occasional gaps, those floating black dust scattered among the sporadic light spots, just like a long lonely river, which appeared magnificent on the edge of the barren universe.

This is also a kind of consolation for travelers who are wandering alone.

He stood there with a straight back, an aura that he had acquired after years of training, and he was at odds with his slovenly appearance.After a long time, perhaps because he was annoyed by the vibration, he turned on the tracker stupidly, and gave permission after seeing the location.

The ignited smoke trembled between his fingers, and the rustling ashes fell.

"Fuck, boss, where are you?" An impatient voice was low, as if afraid of being heard, "I heard that people from the military department have tracked your location, you must be careful. Ou Chuchu I rented a communication-isolated unmanned satellite in the northern galaxy, and I will send you the coordinates, and we can meet there... No, you are the safest in the Liberty Ship."

"Hey, Boss, are you listening?... I know that the matter of Suling is very important to you. We were classmates, and we miss him very much... But it's been so many years, you should wake up .Do you want to spend your whole life on the run?"

An unstable electrical sound interrupted the communication.

He pinched off the terminal expressionlessly, but turned around sharply when he was about to turn around.He stared at the motionless terminal, his knuckles tapped against the window, and he didn't even move when they were burned red by the ash.

……wrong.

what classmate.

Xizi didn't know Suling at all.

But at the moment of making a conclusion, countless pictures appeared in his mind.

He and Su Ling attended classes at Imperial College, had dinner together in the room at No. 12 in District N, and he fell asleep while reciting poems to Su Ling... Scene after scene emerged vividly in my memory.

No, these are hallucinations.

Su Ling has never been to Imperial College, he has been staying in Syracuse, quietly waiting for himself to go home.But he always couldn't wait for himself, and was always seconded to go on missions, so that every time he met, he was covered with injuries.

Su Ling didn't feel any pain either, knowing that he thought it was dirty, he would always try to clean it up as much as possible.

The knife-like remorse made the long memory confused at this time.

That figure sometimes feeds the cat in front of the dormitory door, and sometimes bandages the wound in the corner of Syracuse.Those calm eyes were not happy, and suppressed their emotions when the background overlapped.

Is it a dream or is it real.

He seems to have lost his mind.

Whenever he tried to separate fragments of memory, the remaining parts would overlap again, like ripples, endless, accompanied by pain deep in the nerves.

Someone told him that it would be expensive to find the distant Xinghai.

Perhaps sanity lost in the chaos was also part of it.

But he didn't care.

In the distance, the white light of the explosion shook the dim sea of ​​stars in an instant, silently, but he witnessed it clearly.

It was the terminal communication that exposed his whereabouts.

No, no, they must not be allowed to find this place.

He returned to the main console, only to find that the ship could not be activated at all, and the vines firmly covered it, absorbing all the energy in it.

In such a spaceship, he can only be forced to sleep.

But even if he and the group of followers died together at this time, he didn't care.

He has achieved a long-cherished wish for many years.He saw Suling.

Saw him many years ago.

Whether true or not.

He took down a superstring sniper rifle from the weapons room, and the pitch-black body of the gun weighed heavily on his left shoulder.

When passing the training cabin, he stopped suddenly.

A circular light spot spread from behind him all the way to the front, and a silver light ship appeared in front of him.

"……snowstorm."

In my memory, this dual-purpose driving vehicle was only circulated in the legends of the Empire era, and later the storage warehouse disappeared in the flames of the Restoration War.

And in that vague dream, he got a precious gift.

After 5 minutes, he came back here.He changed into clean and tidy clothes, even cleaned his hair, and his stubble-shaven face was still young and handsome.But those peach blossom eyes could not hide the vicissitudes of life, and the deep pupils revealed a paranoia as cold as a cold pool.

He put the sniper rifle on the side seat, and the silver snowflake was inserted at the bottom of the console.

A golden pocket watch slipped from his pocket, was pulled up from the chain in time, and carefully placed beside the console.On the black console, the cold mechanical numbers are slowly counting down the seconds.

Today is Friday.

Star December 2507, 12.

He watched for a while, until he was interrupted by the terminal's tracking alarm, signaling imminent danger.

Blue light outlines the console, the wheels are up, the hatch is closed.

Preparing for heavy ion cannon fire.

In the distant field of vision, a light ship broke away from the group of vines, and flew across the edge of the expanding and dark universe like a meteor.

White light blasted toward the source of the observation.
