Precious beast

19.

On the fourth night after the explosion, Katze woke again in the middle of the night.

Raoul, who was blown off half of his body, was leaning against his arms like a piece of rag, no matter how much he shouted, there was no sound at all. That scene was so real, because it was what he really experienced that night.

Thinking that Raoul had sensed the presence of the gun before the explosion, but chose to push him away first, that kind of uncontrollable pain surged from the bottom of Katze's heart, making him choke so hard that he could barely breathe.

He really wanted to say "I'm sorry" to Raoul, but since the medical team took Raoul from him that day and refused his follow-up, he never saw Raoul again.

In the afternoon, when Katze was busy in the warehouse, he suddenly received a strange call. Few people knew Katze's number, so he hesitated to answer it.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. After Katze said "Hello" twice, she seemed to feel something, and fell silent. There was only the sound of quiet breathing on both ends for a while.

After a while, there finally came the voice that he could dream of every night these days: "Katze, would you like to come and see me? I kind of miss your creme brulee."

Katze quickly pressed the microphone, he was afraid that his sudden gasp would be heard by the other party, so after a while he said hoarsely: "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

The voice over there suddenly became animated: "Well, it would be better if there was another brownie."

Katze originally wanted to say that eating two desserts at once is boring, but finally said: "Okay, wait for me."

This time, the mechanical nurse at the door did not stop Katze, and he entered the elite ward for the first time.

The moment Katze put her hand on the doorknob of Raoul's room, Katze flinched unexpectedly.He came too hastily, what should we say when we meet?There is also the problem of joint fever. Although he took inhibitors before coming here, after so many days, it should not have any effect. I don't know if Raoul's body can bear it now...

Suddenly there was a low knocking sound from inside the door, Katze's heart trembled, and he rushed in immediately, the scene in front of him stunned him.

Iason was pointing the gun at Raoul, who was half lying on the hospital bed, and one side of Raoul's cheek was still bruised.And the spiritual beasts of the two were also entangled, the snow lion pressed the saber-toothed tiger hard, and its sharp fangs were on the saber-toothed tiger's trachea.

"Iason!" Katze hurried forward.

"do not come!"

Unexpectedly, Raoul and Iason yelled at him at the same time, Katze could only stay where he was, and defended Raoul: "Iason, Raoul cannot be blamed for Riki's matter, this is Jupiter's order."

Iason was unmoved at all, looked straight at Raoul coldly and said, "If you hit Riki without telling me next time, it won't be as simple as just punching." After finishing speaking, he threw the gun on the side cabinet , Katze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward slowly.

"What, you came back from so far just to warn me? I thought you'd go to the Academy of Sciences first." Raoul sneered as he sat up with Katze's support.

"I've been there, and your assistant said that only you can open the freezer cabin." Iason's expression was clearly written with the word unhappy.

"Ha, that's really embarrassing." Raoul didn't look apologetic at all.

Unexpectedly, Iason changed the subject at the next moment, and his tone became serious: "I heard that the inducer of rare beasts has been stolen?"

"Yes, the relevant information has also been deleted." Raoul's expression was exactly the same as Iason's.

"I can't believe you didn't prepare in advance."

"You still know me," Raoul chuckled lightly, "the stolen reagent is fake, and I have already backed up the data. So I set the authority of the freezing chamber so that only I can open it, should you Thank you very much?"

Iason didn't take it seriously, "You're so prescient, why are you lying here?"

"It's just a faint premonition, but I didn't expect them to have such a big appetite this time. It doesn't count if they stole the reagent, and they will get rid of me even if they expose their chess pieces."

"Of course, they hope that we will be extinct one day earlier, how could they be willing to watch us survive."

Hearing this, Katze roughly got a clue, "You're talking about... the Alliance?"

"Ah."

The answer is confirmed, so there is no need to say more, everyone knows it well.

Katze knew that the next time he went to the Academy of Sciences, there might not be any human faces in it.He sighed almost imperceptibly.

Iason and Raoul were still talking.

"How's your body?"

"Fortunately, the new arm still needs some time to get used to."

"Can you go?"

"more or less."

"Then pack up, I'll wait for you outside."

With that said, Iason walked out.

"To the Academy of Science?" Katze asked.

"Well, looking at Iason's appearance, I guess I can't wait for another minute."

"What about the experiment?"

"Jupiter gave me a formal order the day before yesterday, and the intelligence experiment is temporarily suspended."

"The day before yesterday? Iason hadn't come back then, had he?"

"Yeah, who knows how he managed Jupiter."

"Anyway, as long as Riki is out of danger."

Raoul was slightly annoyed when he heard this, "Hey Katze, can you help me change my clothes? My arms are not very flexible right now."

"Huh?" Katze glanced around, but she didn't see the mechanical nurse, wondering if Iason just kicked him out.

Katze resignedly helped Raoul change his clothes, but as his fingers touched Raoul's skin inadvertently, Katze felt that his breathing was gradually out of his control, his whole body was hot as if on fire, and Raoul's chest heaved. Soon, the look in his eyes was not sober.

"I'll go out and wait for you." After leaving this sentence, Katze left the ward as if fleeing.

Raoul stared at his background dumbfounded, then smiled wryly, and pressed a button on the head of the bed, three mechanical nurses came in immediately, and helped Raoul groom his appearance skillfully.

When he walked out of the hospital gate, only Iason was waiting for him.

"Don't look for it, Katze said he will go to the Academy of Sciences to wait for you first."

Katze smiled involuntarily, which surprised Iason a bit.

After getting into the car, Raoul took out a crème brulee from the exquisitely packaged box that Katze brought over just now. Iason finally couldn't hold back and asked, "What happened to you during the few days I was away?"

Raoul glanced at him, and continued to focus on tasting the delicious food, "This is my privacy."

Iason snorted softly, "Did you finally mark?"

Raoul's hand was scooping up the pudding, and Iason immediately understood that this guy wasn't even close.

"Speaking of final marks, this is for you." Raoul handed Iason a micromemory.

"What's in there?"

"A record of Amoi's first rare beast."

"First?"

"Not Riki, not Katze, but the first one that came out 15 years ago. Surprised isn't it?"

Iason didn't answer, waiting for Raoul to continue.

"He's a dark-haired elite furniture, that guy is very smart, he writes what happened to him and what he deduces from it into a pet log, a thing that no one will pay attention to except you .”

"How did you find out?"

"It's not me, it's Katze. Before he was expelled from EOS by you, he copied this log and code-behind the original document."

"It's a good idea. If it is deleted, it will attract our attention."

"Yeah, you used to say that his mind is too good for humans, and I agree with you now. This also explains why Katze has an unusual familiarity with rare beasts and psychics from the beginning."

"Is there anything special about that content?"

"We have basically discovered everything that has been recorded, but if it appeared two months earlier, I would have saved a lot of effort, if it had been earlier..."

"Assumptions don't make sense. Raoul, you're not going to give me a completely useless thing, come on, what else?"

"You are still so sharp!" Raoul exclaimed, but his expression did not relax at all, "Yes, the special thing is that after this person died. His superhuman is also his master, the black-haired elite It was a soldier who took him on a battleship, you remember, there was a small-scale rebellion within the military 15 years ago, he died in that rebellion, and the next day, his supernatural being became manic He had a seizure and died. Before that, the supernatural person had never had symptoms of mania, and we don’t have any historical records of a supernatural person directly dying suddenly for the first time. However, the chaotic situation at that time would not Someone linked Elite's death to Furniture, and that Elite didn't have a high position, so none of us paid attention."

"Is it because of the final mark?"

"Yes, they made the final mark. The rare beast after the final mark is related to the life of the supernatural being. I speculate so, and Katze obviously thinks so, otherwise he would not have brought this record to ask for it that night. Threatening me to suspend Riki's experiment, fortunately, I have already transferred the contents of the disc before the explosion."

Iason pondered for a while, then asked, "Have you shown this to Jupiter?"

"not yet."

"Don't give it to her just yet, if you really care about Katze."

"How to say?"

"If, as you speculate, the life and death of the elite is in the hands of humans, what do you think Jupiter will do?"

Raoul suddenly shuddered: "Eliminate all possible threats, find out all hidden rare beasts and kill them."

"It's not possible to do that in a short period of time. After all, it is still useful. The biggest possibility is to imprison them all, or brainwash them to become more obedient pets, and strictly prohibit the occurrence of the final mark."

"You're right, I see."
