"Three months...what's the matter?" Carlos Black tried to lift his neck, trying to see Chus's expression when he asked this question. After all, expression capture and interpretation are the most useful references during negotiations.

However, he only saw the back of Sah Young's head, so he fell back angrily.

Chu Si was silent for a second: "You counted the days right? How did you get the news?"

Although Carlos Black didn't understand why this sentence caused such a strange reaction from Chus, he immediately seized the opportunity sensitively and once again made a dying struggle: "I refuse to say it here, at least I have to change it to Indoors, you have to sit! Otherwise, don’t try to pry a word out of my mouth!”

His stubbornness made Chu Si ponder for a moment, then nodded happily, "Okay, indoors, sit and chat, Your Excellency, wait a moment."

Chief Chu speaks very politely when facing strangers.But his politeness is very special, probably because the experience of "saying thank you after stepping on the face" has had an irreversible impact on his life, so that when he is extremely polite, it is often the time to do assholes and immoral things.

The people who worked with him in the security building knew this problem very well, the people he trained in the training camp knew it very well, and Sah Young also knew it very well, but Carlos was unprepared.

"Hey... Finally, there is a reasonable person who respects the old, loves the young." Carlos sighed while squinting at Sah Young's back, "Maybe we can cooperate sincerely if we do this earlier."

Ten minutes later, under the order of Chief Chu, the homeless people headed by Carlos Black were all forked into the dump by the five-person team of the training camp, like dead fish caught in a net.

The tipping bucket came with Carlos's aircraft, and it was older than Chus and Say Young combined. When it came out tremblingly from the back of the aircraft, you could even hear a creaking sound.

It was what Carlos used occasionally to salvage "garbage" in space, but now it contained 137 homeless people, and he, the once noble king of homeless people, was crushed at the bottom.

What a bastard's treatment of prisoners of war.

The 137 prisoners of war were finally settled in the East Tower of Fort Barney, where Le Pen and the others could come and go freely. In the meeting room on the top floor, the aircraft that brought them up was temporarily parked on the platform extending from the French windows.

Almost all the straps and electronic shackles in the instrument room of the aircraft were used on them—the left hand cuffed the right foot, the right hand cuffed the left foot, and sat cross-legged along the wall.

And Truss was leaning against the huge oblong conference table, leaning on the edge with both hands, looking down at Carlos Blake gracefully and condescendingly.

Indoors, sitting and chatting, nothing wrong.

"As you wish." Chus tapped his fingers on the table twice, and said to Carlos, "How much more do you want? Just ask."

Carlos Black moved his lips silently twice, probably cursing "beast" or something else, and then cleared his throat with a green face and said, "It's gone."

Sah Young sat at the table bored, and arched his elbows to Chusi, "In 10 minutes, sir, in just 10 minutes, you have become a beast like me. Congratulations."

Chus glanced at him, then looked back at Carlos and said, "Is there really no request?"

Carlos snorted, "Nonsense."

Chus nodded, "Then tell me, when and where did you get the news. Tell me that I will unshackle a person."

Carlos originally wanted to say something mockingly, but after hearing his condition, he reluctantly accepted the ridicule and said, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense because of what happened just now?"

Chus shrugged his shoulders: "Anything."

Carlos spit out old blood.

He really can't do anything about Chu Si, even if he doesn't say anything, he can only vomit two more tubes of blood, it's really hard to believe it.

Carlos thought for a while, and still opened his mouth: "I was unlucky to meet you two plague gods, I admit it. Just talk about it..."

"I passed by the edge of the α star field three months ago, and when I made a deal with another team of Rangers, I got the news from them. It said that they had detoured through your second line of the Skyhawk γ star field before. At that time, I accidentally crossed the star field line, but did not receive a warning for crossing the line. I was a little puzzled at the time, but because they were in a hurry to go to Kamaixing and the City of Silver, they didn't think about it. Three days later, they came from the City of Silver When the star region where the city is located rushed to the α star region to make a deal with us, it circled around your planet again, and deliberately crossed the star field line, but still did not receive the due warning, so they played a trick, They simply went straight to the inner line of the star field, and when they got close enough to the surface of the planet, they discovered that your Aquila gamma star is actually just a residual phantom, and the real planet no longer exists."

"Then—" Carlos Black pointed at himself awkwardly, "They sold the news to me by the way. I estimated the time, the explosion of your planet must have happened three and a half months ago, because according to As far as I know, just four months ago, that wanderer team landed on your planet, and it is said that they sold a message to your military department? At least your planet wasn’t bombed when they landed.”

"Military Department?" It stands to reason that there is a team of homeless people entering the star field to make private transactions with the government or the military. The military department should have greeted the Security Building, but the 5th office where Chus works does not directly control this matter. On the other hand, Office No. 1 is in charge of these things, so it's normal for Truss not to know.

"That's what I heard. I don't know if it's the military department. I can only guarantee that my news is 80% accurate, not 100%." ​​Carlos Black said.

Chus stared into Carlos' eyes for a while, then simply bent down and rummaged through Carlos.

"What are you doing?" Carlos backed away, "What are you looking for? The aircraft has been locked up by you, what else do you want to find?!"

Chu Si said: "Pocket watch, watch, or something else that keeps time."

When he said this, his tone revealed obvious impatience, which made Carlos a little weak, and hurriedly said: "Watch! Watch! Watch! Isn't it just a watch! It's in my trouser pocket."

Chus frowned, knocked him down without saying a word, reached out and fumbled in his left trouser pocket, it was empty.

Just when he was about to switch to the right pocket, Sae Yang suddenly got down from the table, bent down and slapped Chus's hand away, took out the contents of Carlos' right pocket, and threw it in the on the table.

bang-

The metal thing rolled around on the table and finally lay flat.

Chus froze for a moment, and glanced at Say Yang, and saw that he turned his face when he said he would turn his back on him. He seemed a little impatient for some reason, probably because the conversation between Chuss and Carlos had little to do with him, and it was not very possible It aroused his interest, and it was annoying after listening for a long time.

However, Chu Si saw this kind of smiling one second and frowning the next second, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He stood up straight, grabbed something on the table and pulled the lid off.

The style of this thing is very retro, very similar to a pocket watch from the early days - a disc the size of half a palm, with a flap and a chain.

It's just that after the flip cover is opened, the display inside is not a pointer, but a screen.Inside the circular screen is a simplified version of the star map. Eighteen dots representing livable planets are embedded in different positions on the screen.There is a square display box in the upper left corner of the screen, marking the current time, but the calculation method is not the same as that used by Chus.

Chus clicked on the dot representing the Skyhawk γ star, and in the display box in the upper left corner, the time was instantly converted into the format Chus is most familiar with:

New Gregorian calendar 5714

3月17日22:09:23

He stared at the numbers representing the year in silence for a long while, making sure that he did not misread any of them, and then raised his eyes.

The flip closed in his hand with a click, he pinched the dial and turned it around twice in his hand, thought for a while, and then threw it back to Carlos.

Carlos was still a little surprised: "You didn't take it directly for yourself?"

"What's the use of it?" Chuss frowned, apparently not paying attention to Carlos, so he just replied casually.

There is a problem with timing.

Thinking to himself, Chus took a few steps back and forth, then strode to the door of the meeting room, crossed the circular railing, and glanced at the few people on the ground floor of the east tower who were busy processing the aircraft.Jin, who walks awkwardly, is particularly conspicuous inside.

Chu Si's gaze stayed on him for a few seconds, and finally fell on Tang, saying, "Tang, come up."

Tang was taken aback, raised his head and shouted, "Oh! Come here!"

After a while, Tang Feng came up in a hurry, stopped in front of the meeting room door, opened the door and looked in, and asked Chu Si in a low voice: "What's the matter, sir? Are they dishonest and uncooperative?"

Chus shook his head and said, "Where's your communicator? I just suddenly remembered that I seem to have forgotten to ask you the time."

Tang took out the communicator in a daze, and gave Chus a look, it showed:

New Gregorian calendar 5714

3月6日14:21:38

It is not exactly the same as the display of Carlos's pocket watch, but the difference is not much, and it is completely within the normal time flow difference range.

In fact, Chus could have guessed the result without looking at Tang's communicator. He just... double-checked, as if obsessive-compulsive.

The time difference between Tang and Carlos was ten days, and Sah Young, who passed by the black hole, was only a few dozen days behind them, and there was also a space prison...

Everyone's time difference is within the normal range, very close, except for himself.

In 5714 and 5763, although Chus doesn't want to admit it, it seems that the former is right, and the latter is obviously wrong.

When he opened his eyes, it was Jin who told him that 50 years had passed.

Of course, Truth's first thought was that King had tampered with the time display on the bracelet for some purpose, making him mistakenly think that 50 years had passed.But soon, this idea was denied again, because after Chus crawled out of the frozen capsule, he received a message from Sah Young, and his own communicator also clearly showed the time of receiving the message. Two lines clearly show the year 5763.

For a moment, Chus suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment.

After all, it is not a pleasant experience for the concept of time to be dismantled and reorganized, reorganized and then dismantled. He felt that his headache was almost going to happen again——

Everyone else's time is roughly the same. According to their view of time, it is now 5714, less than 4 months after the planet exploded.

And his time is a huge mess, fast forward 50 years.

Where did you move your hands and feet?Who did it?What is the purpose?

"What's the matter, sir?" Tang blinked, "Your complexion has become a little pale."

"It's nothing." When Chu Si spoke again, his face had returned to normal, and he waved at Tang, "It's nothing, you can go."

Tang said "Oh", and just turned around to leave, Chu Si patted him again and added in a low voice, "Help me...keep an eye on Jin."

"Huh?" Tang was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood, gestured OK, and hurried downstairs, he took two steps to think about it, then turned his head and said, "You haven't worried about him, have you? Why does everything put him on the edge.”

Chus raised his eyebrows and closed the door of the conference room, and almost bumped into someone as soon as he turned around.

Mr. Sae Yang, who turned faces faster than books, was standing in front of him.

Chu Si said unhappily: "Please walk more quietly, what are you doing here?"

Say Yang moved closer, his almost transparent eyes narrowed slightly, stared closely at Chu Si's eyes for two seconds, and said solemnly: "Someone upset our chief, let me guess what it is What's going on?"

Chu Si's back tensed subconsciously, and then suddenly relaxed, "Still guessing? Didn't you just come to eavesdrop?"

He was silent for two seconds after he finished speaking, and then added: "Maybe you don't need to eavesdrop at all, you have already seen it, but for some reason, you have no intention of saying it at all, do you?"
