"I accidentally seized a recorded message, which was last sent by Laura to the Anti-Uganda Society," Lin Jingheng adjusted the small mecha to autopilot-the Freedom Legion's mecha has a complete interstellar waterway map, and it has been wandering for a long time. The pirates on the edge of darkness know where to avoid people's eyes and ears, "She said that your crimes were 'anti-humanity, collusion with extraterritorial pirates, and human experiments', because of you, Eden has changed from voluntary registration to compulsory registration, and has been in the human race ever since. The concept of 'disappearance' has been eliminated in society, Doctor, are all these charges of yours slandered by the Eden Management Committee?"

When Dr. Harden heard the "recorded message", the expression on his face froze.

"You told me that it was your students who hit it off with the lunatics of the Anti-University Society outside the region, and you have nothing to do with them, but the news I got is not like that," Lin Jingheng added, "There is a secret in the lair of the Anti-University Society The document records the source of part of the organization’s funds, Dr. Harden, I’ve seen your name on it, and I never said that in this matter, the Anti-Ukraine Society and the Eden Management Committee framed you, right?”

Dr. Harden said in a hoarse voice: "You have already obtained the internal information of the Anti-Uganda Society, so... the first time you opened your eyes on the asteroid, you knew that I had reservations about you."

Lin Jingheng smiled at him, the corners of his eyes were still stained with blood that hadn't been wiped clean.

In the past 14 years, he has not leaked anything. He just put on a look of being wary of the outside world because of too many injuries. He used each other with Dr. Harden. Showing a little warmth, people have an illusion, as if they are dependent on each other in a desperate situation, and they are wearing away his cold shell bit by bit.

It turned out to be pretending again.

Dr. Harden suddenly realized that at that time, Lin Jingshu blocked the space prison in a hurry and escaped from the asteroid. He went alone to see Lin Jingheng who had just woken up. , It turned out to be intentional.

He intentionally gave Dr. Harden the impression that he was a trapped beast, and invisibly dispelled Harden's vigilance.

Now, there are only the two living creatures left on the entire machine frame, and Lin Jingheng is in control of the spirit network, and finally has nothing to fear, so he slowly lowered his eyes, and looked at Dr. Harden in a leisurely manner: "Yes—so , Doctor, you should tell me now, why did you stop contacting the Anti-Ukraine Association after you escaped from death, and instead started a new one?"

Dr. Harden whispered, "What if my answer doesn't satisfy you?"

"It's not that bad, don't be nervous, doctor," Lin Jingheng said very relaxedly in the "Votto-style" tone that they both haven't seen for a long time, "After going through the two major organizations of the Anti-Uganda Society and the Freedom Legion, they have mastered the core of the opium chip. Technology, I believe you are very precious, too precious, so 'keep safe'."

"Admiral Lin." Dr. Harden sighed, feeling that he, a scholar from the White Tower, would never dare to call him "Jingheng". They are all ignorant, thinking that other people are infatuated with the authority, and they see it more thoroughly than anyone else...but they forget that these "martial arts" are the people who used to be active in the center of Votor's political storm. Lin Jingheng is like this, and so is Woolf—even Lu Faith may not be so naive, it's just that the person insists on too many things, and sometimes he loses sight of the other.

"Let the medical cabin take out the chip first," Dr. Harden shrank into a very old and tired mass, and said in a deep voice, "The opium chip is very dangerous, and it will irreversibly change your physiological structure to a certain extent , do you really want to be a biochip addict?"

Lin Jingheng propped her head and looked at him indifferently: "I thought that the purpose of your earliest research on biochips, Doctor, was not to make people addicted, but to 'human evolution'."

Dr. Harden was shocked: "How do you know?"

"I have been in the eighth galaxy for a long time, I have learned about the history of the so-called 'Nuwa Project', I have had close contact with the mutant rainbow virus, and I have reliable experts around me," Lin Jingheng said, "Why, isn't it right?"

Dr. Harden shut his mouth tightly.

"It is said that rainbow viruses can degenerate cells and activate genetic potential. Therefore, if some characteristics of rainbow viruses can be used in some way to transform the human body into a substrate that can 'evolve', and then guided by biochips, the future of human beings will There will be infinite potential and countless directions of evolution," Lin Jingheng finished suturing the wound on his waist, he waved away the mechanical hand in the medical cabin to prevent it from applying the sticky scar-removing medicine on his body, buttoned it, and carried He said somewhat playfully, "The 'Nuwa Project' of the eighth galaxy successfully synthesized a birdman, I have seen him, Dr. Harden, with your accomplishments as the first person in charge of the White Tower, you will never return Not as good as the eighth galaxy and the half-baked people outside the domain?"

Dr. Harden said dryly: "That's just... just a theory. It's impossible for the rainbow virus to completely transform the human body. We haven't cultivated an ideal evolutionary base, and the biochip is even more..."

"Theoretical basis." Lin Jingheng interrupted him, his eyes strangled his throat like a poisonous snake, "No way? Doctor, it's too modest, it's just a theoretical basis, so what have you been hiding all these years?"

A chill of fear crawled up Dr. Harden's back. Lin Jingheng's pair of gray eyes, which he was used to seeing, and occasionally became extra vivid because of a little popularity, were more terrifying than black holes. Dr. Harden realized that He realized that he also wanted the core technology of the "Nuwa Project".

The brothers and sisters of the twins are not more fuel-efficient than the other. Compared to Lin Jingshu, a terrorist with a bit of madness, Lin Jingheng, the former general of the alliance, is more terrifying.

"Doctor, in my hands, you are quite safe, and your secrets will not be leaked. I can also give you the scientific research conditions that Jingshu can give you. I also know a large number of patients with emptiness. I am very willing to be your experimental product," Lin Jingheng softly lowered his voice, and said in his ear, "And me, my mental power has been stable at the human limit for a long time. The alliance has been nearly a hundred years, and no one can compete with you in this respect. I am equal, and I can help you explore the boundaries of human power—isn't it what we should do to always pursue stronger power?"

Dr. Harden suddenly changed color: "What are you talking about! Are you affected by opium?!"

Lin Jingheng looked at him indifferently.

"I will not give Nuwa's core technology to anyone! The Anti-Ukraine Society, Lin Jingshu, and you! You can kill me immediately!"

Lin Jingheng pressed his shoulders with a half-smile: "Don't get excited, shh-doctor, none of us are afraid of death, I know."

Dr. Harden was pushed into the medical cabin alive by his hand. He has the greatest brain, but his fragile body has no power to resist. He has been escaping and falling into new traps all his life.

"When I escaped from the White Tower, I destroyed all the experimental materials and cut off contact with the Anti-Ukraine Association... because I found out that they were trying to use me to monopolize the 'Nuwa' technology, and they decided who would evolve into a superman and who would do it." Serving the 'bottom' of Superman. That's when I realized, why 'evolution' must be a natural thing, human interference with 'evolution' would be catastrophic, I rejected them... put myself in the spotlight, and in the end, I couldn't even Can you tell who betrayed me? Is it the lackeys of the Eden Management Committee or my students who are close to the anti-Ukraine society? I don’t know! I have no place to entrust Jingshu, so I can only let her The management committee has grown up, I think they have scruples after all compared with pirates!"

The more he talked, the more emotional he became, as if across a huge quagmire, he painfully questioned his past self: "But how did she become like this? Why did we come to this point? Why did we end up like this? ?”

His old friend Woolf is a die-hard member of the alliance. He has been worrying unfoundedly, worrying that Woolf is too loyal and will be persecuted by the management committee of the Garden of Eden. He took the initiative to add this name to the forbidden fruit, and as a result, he planted blood on the world. A river of bane.

In order to test him and force him, Lin Jingshu forced him to watch her deviant "opium" experiments countless times, watching her create a sick underground kingdom bit by bit.

In great desperation, he met the legendary General Lin who was almost smashed to pieces for the civilians of seven or eight galaxies. He thought that Lin Jingheng would be different from others, but this turned out to be another deliberate lie.

Facts have proved that in this world, everyone is only pursuing their own power and strength.

"You tell me, what should I do? Is this the punishment for touching the 'forbidden zone'? Should I spend my whole life working for the management committee in a daze, maintain the Garden of Eden, and live in Votto? you……"

Dr. Harden's voice was cut off suddenly, his eyes widened, and he saw Lin Jingheng take out a bloody biochip from his pocket and throw it on a small tray beside him.

"You...you already..."

"Go to sleep for a while, you are tired too." Lin Jingheng put away the cold and greedy expression on his face, let go of Dr. Dr. Harden's veins.

Dr. Harden said blankly: "You..."

He vaguely saw a look of pity on Lin Jingheng's face, but before he could see it clearly, the immediate effect of the tranquilizer closed his eyelids and dragged him into a deep sleep.

Lin Jingheng waited for his breathing to stabilize, called out all the records of Dr. Harden's blood pressure, heart rate and hormones in the medical cabin, handed them over to the computer on the mecha, analyzed the authenticity of his every sentence, and then threw the chip into the waste disposal pipeline.

Dr. Harden passed his initial test - Lin Jingheng sent the medical cabin back to the medical room on the mecha, summoned the robot, cleaned up the corpses in the mecha, and found a little hidden wine - he really needed to put Ha Dr. Deng brought it back to the eighth galaxy, because Lu Bixing's body modified by the rainbow virus is always a concern for him, and he is always worried about the sequelae of the one-eyed eagle and his group of half-baked guys.

During the long journey of the mecha, the surroundings were suddenly quiet. Lin Jingheng was alone, and finally rested from the guns and intrigues. The suppressed thoughts grew wildly like weeds, as if they were going to burst his chest in an instant.

He promised that person that no matter how long he left, he would crawl back even if he crawled.

When the coalition forces were ambushed, he lost contact with the people there for more than ten years by chance. With his acquiescence, Turan gave that person a handful of narcotics...

What will Lu Bixing think when he wakes up?

Do you think he is dead?

Will you hate him?

Will... forget him?

As soon as the last thought popped up, Lin Jingheng's heart slightly "thumped", and the bitter wine under the tip of his tongue slipped into his throat inadvertently. The burning feeling in his stomach brought him back to his senses, probably because of blood loss , He suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Lin Jingheng forced himself to concentrate. At this moment, the remote communication he sent suddenly had the first echo—"Who are you?!"

Lin Jingheng grabbed the overflowing thoughts, stuffed them back into his chest and sealed them up, turned his face and saw the indestructible sharp blade, he put the empty wine glass upside down, and replied: "Who do you think I am, idiot."

Thomas Yang, who was secretly hunting down a group of pirates from the Freedom Corps, suddenly had red eyes and yelled into his communication channel: "Idiot! He actually called me an idiot again! How stupid am I? Let's fight for the Declaration of Freedom, He himself has not heard from him for 16 years, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead - even a message! I almost disbanded the team! What kind of bullshit general, what bullshit boss?!"

There was silence in Baiyinsan's communication channel, listening to him venting silently.

Poisson Yang sighed.

Thomas Yang roared hoarsely: "Bai Yin San received it! Go to the Heart of Rose and be on standby at any time!"

"As soon as the silver is received."

"Silver Ten is heading to the Heart of Rose."

"Silver Six is ​​assembled, and I'm on standby for you at any time, General, I haven't seen you in 22 years, it's been a long time."

"Silver Four's loss is too high. In the entire fourth guard, there are only three people and two mechas left. We have never given up fighting in the past 16 years. I am very happy to hear your voice again, my general."

……

"The interference and noise have disappeared, and the coordinates of other companions have been determined. Our escort team is rushing here, and it is expected to join us within half an hour." Mint raised his head, "We have detected the energy response of the transition point, and request to relocate—— Have we left the depths of the heart of the rose?"

Their contact with the eight distant galaxies is still intermittent. A sentence must be repeated dozens of times before it can be received. Fortunately, this is an unprecedented exploration, and the entire engineering department is very patient.

"Communication request received—"

"Guards?" Mint muttered, "Didn't I give them the position just now... Wait, captain, does this seem to be it?"

After she finished speaking, other people in the expedition team also noticed that a very small starship was approaching them—it was small because the place where it could fall was basically blown up. I don’t know if the starship was lucky or There are very powerful technicians on it, and they have preserved a complete cabin. The cabin is like a large drift bottle, and it has no power.

"People from alien systems?" The expedition leader was a little excited, which meant that after more than ten years, they entered other human activity areas again, "Go, say hello to them."

Mint passed the communication request, and the rush of help and cries immediately pierced into her ears. Men, women, old and young were all moving, and the voices of a few children were particularly sharp and piercing, which stunned Mint, who was used to the quiet environment of the universe. Take a look: "What's going on?"

At this time, a weak but calm male voice passed through those howling ghosts and wolves, and said clearly: "Hello, unknown fleet, we come from the planet 'Serbia' on the edge of the first galaxy, and all unarmed personnel on this starship, including Six elderly people over the age of 250 and four children, we have no weapons, the power system of the starship has been damaged and fell off, and we cannot resist the gravity from the heart of the rose. Friends on the opposite side, no matter which side you belong to, can you act humanitarianly? We provide assistance and, again, we have no weapons..."

The eighth galaxy, Venus, the command center of the Galaxy City base.

"Chief, just collected information from the wormhole area. The expedition team came across a group of refugees who escaped from the first star system, Serbia."

Lu Bixing raised his head.

"It is said that the Pirates of Glory surrendered. The First Galaxy has already ceased fighting. After sixteen hours, it will formally lay down its arms, withdraw from the First Galaxy, and submit a letter of surrender to the Alliance to announce the truce."

Lu Bixing couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and said meaningfully: "It's peaceful, that's good. We just found a way out, and the alliance ceased fighting. What kind of luck is this?"

"I'm afraid not," Zhanlu said. "According to the information collected by Ms. Mint and the others, just now, unknown pirates attacked Serbia with armed forces and kidnapped people from the entire planet. Now they are broadcasting live broadcasts to the entire universe with a high profile."

"That's really lively," Lu Bixing said, "Is there no garrison on a planet where people are so easily kidnapped?"

First Galaxy -

For more than ten years, the Alliance and the Central Army of various places have worked together to fight against pirates. The interstellar network has been repaired. At this time, everyone can see the news feed on their personal terminals.

"Part of Serbia's garrison rebelled, suspected to have been controlled by biochips. In recent years, chip drugs have become the number one cancer in society, difficult to detect, difficult to quit, and difficult to prevent. Drug dealers are well-organized and disciplined, and they are pervasive. The permanent population of Serbia is small. , is a tourist planet with only 7000 million inhabitants. Unfortunately, it is currently going to the dangerous area near the Heart of Rose. Except for the direction leading to the Heart of Rose, the entrances to other waterways have been blocked by interstellar pirates. Residents on the planet are escaping regardless of danger. Going to the heart of the rose in the restricted area, the pirates demanded to talk directly to Marshal Woolf of the Alliance, and accused Marshal Woolf of 'treachery'. The Alliance just made a public speech to refute the bad-hearted interstellar pirates..."

Wang Ailun walked quickly to Woolf and whispered a few words into his ear.

"It doesn't matter," Woolf said without changing his face, "as long as Hope doesn't stand up and say something, they will be slandered, the surrender ceremony will continue as usual, the waterway will be under martial law, and the Serbian star will be surrounded. Letting the civilians do it will only increase our justice."

In the eighth galaxy, another intermittent signal was sent back, which came from the escort team assigned by Lu Bixing to the expedition team.

"Chief, the panicked people began to evacuate towards the Heart of Rose, the guards are asking for your instructions..."

"Wait and see, don't worry about non-armed starships," Lu Bixing said, "Pirates and alliances can be pinched outside, but I hope they'd better not get close to the heart of the rose, otherwise they will be entertained."

"Understood," Zhanlu said empathetically, "Let General Turan increase his troops..."

Before he finished speaking, Turan suddenly broke in.

She was trembling all over, and her fingers were panting violently with her breathing.

Zhanlu: "General Turan, your heart rate has been detected..."

"Secret, key!" Turan interrupted him out of breath, and almost threw himself on Lu Bixing's desk, supporting the table with both hands, "The guards I sent found it at the transition point near the Heart of Rose. ..."

Lu Bixing pushed a glass of water in front of her: "Speak slowly, what is the key?"

"Communication, communication key, 11 years... 16 years ago..." Turan spoke incoherently, and couldn't tell the dates of the two sets of calendars. In desperation, she actually committed the crime and grabbed the commander-in-chief by the collar, "General... ..."
