Star Hatching
Work related
Just as the question was about to be answered, Roft pressed his hand and said, "Use your own judgment, think about it."
Yaqiong understood what he meant, nodded and continued to treat his wound without speaking.He used to be a doctor in the field, and he was very proficient in his techniques, but because of his posture, he had to tilt his body, which was a little uncomfortable.
Loft is only in his 50s now, and he has already become a lieutenant general. Among a group of "veterans" with an average age of more than 100 years, he looks very young, and Dukuta has an average life expectancy of more than 300 years, which means that Loft's The future is very bright.Even if he spends the next 200 years idling around, it will be enough to be a five-star general.
Cedric thought of Loft's almost warning behavior to Sibenfer and Ernest, lowered his eyes, and the color of his pupils became darker and more terrifying.
Roft waited patiently for him, turned around, saw Yaqiong's awkward posture, and said, "You can sit on my lap."
Cedric: "..."
His heavy heart suddenly ceased to be heavy.
He should have thought about it a long time ago, why hasn't he gotten used to it?Father would always tease mother unexpectedly and solemnly like this.
And the mother's reaction every time did not disappoint Loft.
Yaqiong tied a beautiful bow with a blushing face, stood up hastily, and said angrily, "What are you talking about in front of the child?" Then, blushing, she ran upstairs.
Loft watched his wife leave calmly, but there was clearly an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cedric: "..."
How can two people who have a combined age of a century manage to be married for decades and still look like newlyweds?
Cedric had never seen Hogan blush.
When Yaqiong's back disappeared, Loft had recovered his coldness, and said to Cedric, "Let's talk in the study." The voice was cold.
Cedric: "...yes."
Entering the study, Roft asked Cedric, "What do you think?"
Cedric looked at the scarlet bandage on Loft's chest and said, "If you didn't show up at the port today, I would definitely say that the emperor did it."
The conflict between the Dukuta family and the royal family has a long history. The royal family is afraid of this powerful family, but at the same time has to rely on it.Back then Sibenfur escaped countless assassinations, and now it was Roft's turn.
Roft said: "Did I shake your mind when I went to the port?"
Cedric thought of Uncle Ernest, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to doubt my family."
"Even if it is a family, there are differences of closeness and distance. In the face of absolute interests, not everyone can be your family." Roft said, "I will open up a strange star field in a few days, you know it Meaning, if I come back successfully, even if the emperor is unwilling, he can only give me the position of general. There has never been a family among the five major families of Kendi Star that can occupy two positions of general at the same time, and the Dukuta family will not be an exception .”
Cedric said: "If you become a general, will Sibenfer have to resign from the honorary rank?"
Loft noticed the word "honor" he emphasized, his light blue eyes were like cold sea water, and he gave a positive answer: "That's right."
"But even so," Cedric tried to distinguish, "Sibenfer would not attack his own son. He has already lost his power, and there is no need to do it again."
Loft said: "This matter has not yet been settled, but what is certain is that there is an inner ghost in our family. Only a few people in the family know about my itinerary a few days ago, and you don't even know. But the one who did it is The emperor's people."
In other words, someone betrayed the family and joined forces with their greatest rival.
Roft explained coldly: "I told you to raise your vigilance. Now you are not as carefree as before, and the other party may also attack you."
Cedric was sort of a family man.
Cedric was stunned for a moment, his face was unnatural, but he quietly puffed up his chest with a little pride: "I haven't told you about this yet..."
"No need." Loft turned around, took out a stack of documents from the desk drawer and handed them to Cedric, "I have fully understood your matter, you need to read this document now."
Cedric didn't quite understand, so he took it, looked at it a few times, and his face froze.
Loft stared at his son with undisguised suspicion, and said coldly, "You know what I mean. Knowing Hogan's true life experience, can you still have the confidence to laugh?"
Cedric looked at the document in silence, his fingers trembling slightly. After a while, he tore up the document and looked at the scraps of paper flying in the air irritably.
Roft said: "Now there are three suspects, respected Mr. Sibenfur, my dear brother, or, the mother of your egg."
After a long silence, Cedric said in a calm voice: "No, it's impossible, he doesn't know."
Under his father's stern and cold stare, Cedric's face was as deep as water, his expression resolute, and his unwavering firm eyes showed his resolute attitude.
Roft asked him again: "Are you really so confident in your judgment?"
Cedric said, "It's not my judgment, it's his."
Loft took a deep look at him: "Since you insist, I will remove him from the list of suspects, he is just the mother of Egg."
With Roft's tough and ruthless character, being included as a suspect means that he will take action, even his biological father is no exception.Cedric should be thankful, maybe he was close to facing a chicken-and-egg situation.
But because of this sudden stimulation, Cedric said surprisingly: "No, I think, he will still be my future partner."
No.19 days, undercurrent
On the distant Sangma planet, Hogan is in the laboratory of the virtual network, opposite the excited Angus.
In the past few days, they have been fighting here for a long time to solve the problem in the assembly process of the parts. Now that the problem has not been solved, they have made a surprising discovery.
For a long time, there have been two key criteria in the evaluation of mecha grades, the first is reaction speed, and the second is stability. Today, mecha technology is relatively mature, and the improvement of mecha reaction speed has been met. When it came to the bottleneck, the researchers tried to break their heads and did tens of thousands of experiments, but they couldn't make the mech respond faster by even 1ns.
Compared with the powerful quantum computing power of the cpu and the astonishing driving force of an excellent engine, the key to the problem is that the mech's hardware cannot bear the higher speed.For a long time, new materials have become the most popular major, and various colleges have allocated huge funds to materials majors, hoping that they can find tougher materials to adapt to faster speeds.
But until today, no one has been able to find a better alternative material.This kind of memory metal, which is commonly used in mechs today, is undoubtedly the best material.
Isn't it a matter of material?There are also people who have thought this way and tried to seek a structural breakthrough, but it is too difficult to construct a better structure based on the existing optimal structure.At least no one has yet.
If any researchers engaged in mecha manufacturing see the scene in this virtual laboratory, they will be surprised.In the mecha simulation experiment in front of me, the running mecha almost didn't stop when avoiding obstacles, and the speed obviously exceeded the threshold.
Angus stared at the running mecha obsessively, and murmured: "Who would have thought that the problem would come from an inconspicuous part?"
It is their continuous improvement of the parts of the assembly process that has achieved the miraculous response speed of this mech.Everyone would think of optimizing the structure of the mecha to improve its performance, but no one would have thought that a small change in the assembly process of parts would have such a big effect.
After reaching a conclusion, it seems easy to work backwards.
Angus suddenly realized: "In the past, the reaction speed of the mecha was stuck at the bottleneck. Every time it exceeded that speed, it would fall apart. The problem lies in that part. The original assembly process cannot maintain its stability at high speed! The new The reaction speed threshold has come out! It has increased by 50.00%! Hogan, we are going to be famous, and we will definitely be famous! This must be the greatest discovery of this century!"
In contrast, Hogan seemed too calm: "Yeah, who would have thought of that?" The days of experiments made him a little tired, and he said to Angus, "But don't get too excited, we still need practical Experiment, this is a simulated mech after all."
"You must not know the meaning of this number." Angus's facial muscles trembled suspiciously, and his nerves seemed to be clogged with excessive excitement, "This bottleneck has been stuck for more than ten years, but we have broken through. Hit and miss, but fuck, who cares? Future textbooks will have our name, the youngest mecha builder master! This speed will be named after us, Hogan-Angus speed! How does it sound?"
Hogan rubbed his numb face, listlessly: "Then you continue to work hard, I'll go to bed first."
Angus belatedly remembered that Hogan was not suitable for being overworked now.
"Get some rest." Angus secretly glanced at the time, feeling guilty, and hurriedly said, "I will check the data at school in the next few days, so you should have a good rest."
Hogan nodded and hugged him goodbye. After logging off, he fell into the bed and fell asleep within a few minutes.
It wasn't until he finally woke up after a few days of sleepless nights that he remembered what he and Angus had done.
They broke through a bottleneck that no one has broken through in more than ten years?A textbook achievement?
Hogan calmed down for a while, calm and incompetent, and called Angus.
Angus: "..."
Angus said: "It turns out that you are not calm, but the reflection arc is too long. With your reflection arc, you can circle the earth several times."
Hogan said: "I have to go to school, I can't let it go if I don't see it with my own eyes."
"Of course you can come, but can you travel long distances now?" Angus wondered, "It's better to wait for half a month and stabilize."
The growth cycle of Dukuta eggs in the mother's body is three months, and by the time of two months, the condition is basically stable.
Hogan thought for a while: "Forget it, I still have something to do."
Angus breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, wait a little longer." He was afraid that Dan's father would trouble him, "Pay attention to your health, goodbye."
He still has experiments to do.
Knowing what Angus was thinking, Hogan didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.But Angus, who was in the First Academy, failed to do the experiment right away.
His mentor Ha-jin has come to see him.
Angus was a little embarrassed to push back some of Ha Jin's requests because he was always busy with his own affairs recently.Ha Jin didn't blame him, but just looked at what he was doing, gave him a few words of encouragement with a strange face, and left.
Thinking that Ha Jin specially introduced himself to the mech parts assembly factory to familiarize himself with various parts, Angus felt even more embarrassed.He decided to make a gift for his mentor.
But for some reason, when he expressed his thanks, Ha Jin smiled reluctantly.
Hogan put down the communicator, went to the Internet cafe, and looked up "Joslyn", his father according to legend.He didn't use his intellectual brain at home.
Joslin, aged 45, ranks as a major general, one of the leaders of the second generation of the Dukuta family, and the favorite second generation of the Dukuta family owner Sibenfer.
No wonder.
Hogan saw the old face of Sibbenfer before his eyes.This face, together with the handsome and melancholy face on the light screen, was blacklisted by him.
For a character like Jocelyn, of course there is no complete information about him on the Internet, but Hogan wants to check more than that.Where should I start?Hogan tapped on the table and searched uncertainly.
More than an hour later, the father and son who were talking in the study were interrupted by a sudden communication.
"The communication network of the military headquarters has been attacked." The person on the other end of the phone said, "Right now, the military headquarters is flying everywhere. Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, you'd better come back quickly."
After listening, Roft put down the communicator and threw it aside.Cedric asked, "Did something important happen to the military?" He was sure he heard the word "attack."
Roft said: "It's no big deal, and it's useless for me to go back. In contrast, I hope to reach a consensus with you on this issue before leaving home. We need to know who our opponent is."
Cedric glanced at the communicator and looked away: "If you must ask me, I can only say that it cannot be Sibenfer, Uncle Ernest, or any of Hogan. Please After listening to my reasons, I will make an evaluation.”
Roft sat in a chair, posing in a relatively leisurely posture, motioning for him to continue talking.He used such body language to make the atmosphere a lot easier. After all, this was discussing the traitor of the family.
Cedric said: "Whether it's Sibenfer or Uncle Ernest, I choose to exclude them, not because of family or trust reasons, but because I am sure I understand their characters. They are not only not bold, but also too Be cautious, you don't have that kind of demeanor, you can betray an entire family."
Loft seemed to agree with him: "If it were them, they wouldn't be so calm when I showed up in port."
Sibbenfer was a first-class hero when he was young, but now he is old.Aging can change a person incredibly, and for Sibbenfer, it was obviously a very heavy blow.
"As for Hogan's judgment, I have to say that it is mixed with my personal feelings." Cedric said, explaining, "Although it was just an accident, I will not abandon my cub, I will Be responsible to them. Getting along with Hogan made me believe in his character, he couldn't..."
Just as he was talking, the call came again. Roft picked up the communicator, and the voice over there was obviously a lot more anxious: "The incident is escalating, the military department is trying to attack the invaders, but that damned guy swaggered and stole the confidential information." personnel information!"
Cedric shut his mouth.
Roft said: "Who are the information about those people?"
"Admiral Carlo, Tataglia Family, Major General Joslin..."
Roft said: "There is also Jocelyn's information?"
"Yes Your Excellency, the opponent is too cunning, we have reported to His Majesty."
Roft replied, "I see," and put down the communicator.
Loft looked at Cedric.
Cedric didn't understand, so: "What's wrong?"
Roft said, "What did you want to praise Hogan just now?"
"Honestly speaking, this is not a compliment." Cedric searched his stomach. "He is the most well-behaved person I have ever met. He is kind and brave, and even Sibenfu is afraid..."
Loft interrupted him: "But this most well-behaved person is probably invading the military's network and has already caused a commotion in the military."
Before Cedric could react, Roft said again: "If what you just said is true and you want to be with him, I have already agreed."
Cedric was stunned: "Why?"
Roft said: "It's a good thing to have a smart person complementing you by your side."
After Loft finished speaking, he went out, kissed his wife Yajun goodbye, left home, and returned to the military headquarters.
So, was he severely laughed at by his father?Cedric thought, and received a call from the port that his home robot had arrived, and he had to go to the port to pick up jk.
On the way, he wanted to make an interstellar call to Hogan, but found that it was a busy signal.A black shadow flashed behind him, and he turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
Call again, still busy.
Is it too "busy"?Cedric knew that Hogan must want to look up the information of "Joslyn". He thought about the scene where Hogan fought against the military technicians, and smiled, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
One and a half months pregnant, you should rest more and spend less time surfing the Internet.
He wasn't too concerned about Hogan hacking into the Army network.
Although he will be more mature than his peers, his attitude towards this matter is no different from his peers.hacker?Wow, how cool!
Cedric called a third time, but this time, he still couldn't get through.
The black shadow appeared again just now, and the voice was hoarse and broken, with a strange metallic texture, as if it was rolled out of rolling steel: "Want to know his whereabouts?"
Cedric was startled, and looked back, the black shadow flitted to the back, saying: "Follow me."
But at this time, on Sang Ma Xing, Hogan went offline and left the Internet cafe, took out the communication device to check, saw that there was no message, and went home.
No.20 days, Thunderbolt
Cedric gave chase.It was a man in a hoodie.
Follow each other, go darker and darker.
He put away the communicator and pulled out the electromagnetic gun from behind his waist.
Why did the other party know about Hogan?Even the royal family will not have such fast intelligence.
Is he a member of the five major families?Although the other four of the five major families are weaker than the Dukuta family, they don't like the Dukuta family.
But dealing with Hogan is not good for them.Now he is just a pawn, instead of kidnapping Hogan, it is better to kidnap Yajun.
Then it's not a family conflict.
The man in the hoodie in front looked back, looking eerie like a ghost.
He suddenly picked up speed.
Before he had time to think, Cedric ran after him.
His mind was racing, trying to sort things out.The wind whistled past his ears.
If it wasn't for the family's troubles, in terms of his personal hatred, he and the crown prince had some feuds.But the Crown Prince could not have known about Hogan.
Who else?
Maybe it's a punk who has been taught a lesson on the street.
Cedric pulled the safety catch of the electromagnetic gun.
At this time, they were already deep in the dark alley, and they could hardly see their fingers.Cedric watched the other person's slowing pace, his breathing rate dropped to the lowest point, and he barely made any footsteps.
"Who are you? Where is he?" Cedric said, and when he finished speaking, he dodged and stuck to the opposite wall.
If the other party is a person from Earth, this will cover his insensitive hearing and eyesight.
But the other party will bring him here, it should be very confident in the darkness.
However, compared to the sharpness of the five senses, Du Kuta was definitely better.Unless the other party is also Kuta.
The man in the hoodie stopped and bent over. Cedric thought of something and said coldly, "You'd better not move."
He pointed the electromagnetic gun at the man's back.
The man smiled. In the dark night, this laughter was like a steel knife scraping bone, extremely penetrating.
"Where is he?" Cedric asked again.
"Where is he?" the man repeated oddly, and the harsh voice made Cedric frown.
"He's right here."
As the man said, he turned around and picked up a portable cannon barrel in his hand, putting it on his shoulder.
This is the death ray cannon.
Cedric looked at his small and cute electromagnetic gun in comparison, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Cedric raised his hands and made a standard surrender gesture. Now he can be sure that the other party's vision in the dark is no worse than his: "We want to talk, you attracted me, you can't just want to kill me. You Let him go first, and then you can make any request later."
The man stared at him coldly, and said innocently, "Who is he?"
Cedric's expression changed.
The communicator rang.
It was a unique melody that only sounded when Hogan called.
The man carrying the death beam grinned and said, "How do I know who you want to contact? I just blocked your signal." He flipped his empty hand, revealing the black button on the palm of his hand, "It's just a little Pattern, a miniature signal jammer."
The communicator is still vibrating.
The man said: "Aren't you answering? It seems that someone important is calling."
Cedric's back was covered in cold sweat.The man's tone was relaxed, but his eyes were cold, and his killing intent was very real.
He may know the real intention of the other party.
A man's target is him.
How to escape the bombardment of the dead light cannon in a deep alley with a width of one meter?
Turn around and run?Where can I go?
Cedric glanced at both sides. The wall was very high, and it was impossible to go up unless he transformed himself and flew up.
But transform?In this one meter wide alley?
He will be stuck directly between the walls and become an immobile target.
In just a moment, maybe less than a second, countless possibilities flashed through Cedric's mind.
The communicator quieted down.
The man regretted, "Are you really not going to pick it up?"
Cedric said calmly, "But he's already dead."
"You can return one." The man looked like a nice gentleman.
But Cedric saw his evil purpose.This man knew what Hogan meant, and he must have wanted to blast himself into the sky the moment he talked to Hogan.
Cedric threw away the electromagnetic gun without haste, took out the communication device, and said, "Okay, listen to you."
The man looked at him with a smile.
Cedric pressed the number, his hand was steady, but the wet palm betrayed his heart.
Is it the only way to do it?
Cedric was a little unwilling to hear the sound of the communication device connecting.
He clearly saw the man squint his eyes.
really!
Men are about to act!
"Hey……"
Almost at the same time as Hogan's voice came out, the black hole of the Death Ray Cannon suddenly burst into bright light!
"Crack!" The communication device fell to the ground and was annihilated in the light of the death beam cannon.
"Chirp."
The street suddenly shook, and the uncle owner of Yuanwei Bakery looked up suspiciously, but found nothing.
He was about to continue closing the door when he suddenly felt something rub against his trousers.
Looking down, the uncle owner saw a hairless cub running fast, just like a running chicken.
The uncle owner wiped his saliva, closed the door, picked up the cub with two thin legs, bare buttocks, and ran desperately into the store, and sympathized: "Poor little thing, why did you lose all your hair? Come on!" Come here, uncle will give you something to eat."
No.20 One day, wind and waves
On Sang Ma, Hogan stopped in his tracks.
"Cedric...?" Hogan heard the sound stop abruptly, and then there was a shock after a moment, and then everything returned to calm.
The last is the busy tone.
He hesitated and stopped, his pupils were blank, and for a moment he didn't know what he was going to do.But after a while, his expression changed, he pursed his lips, and there was a cold brightness in his pupils.
Cedric was attacked.
This fact is beyond doubt.
There is no need to think about who did it now. In Cedric's capacity, there are too many people who can be suspicious, so there is no need to waste time now.
He hurried home and made a few phone calls.
The first call was to Zhang He: "Borrow me a car, yes, now, I need to use it immediately, and I will explain to you when I have time."
Then he made an interstellar phone call: "Hello, I know you are Lieutenant General Loft's adjutant... I am Hogan, you can ask Lieutenant General Loft about me, but you must press my Do what you say... Yes, you must do it, or I promise, no one will keep your official position... You must speak to Lieutenant General Loft about this alone, and tell him that Cedric was attacked... That's right, I just told you, you have to know, if you can't tell the Lieutenant General about this, you must be a traitor."
He didn't say any more and hung up the phone.
The information he just looked up is now useful, otherwise he would definitely not know that Lieutenant General Loft is Cedric's father, and it is even more impossible to know the number of Lieutenant General Loft's adjutant.It's a pity that there is no personal phone number from Lieutenant General Loft.
Hogan didn't stop, picked up the communicator and made another call, this time to Ernest, what he said was almost exactly the same as what he said to the adjutant.
"...Yes, Uncle Ernest, it was me. Cedric was attacked. I only told you about it. You must tell Lieutenant General Loft as quickly as possible. No one knows that the family has There are no traitors."
After hanging up the call, he had already arrived home, Zhang He was very efficient, had already borrowed a car, and was sitting in the driver's seat.As soon as he got in the car, Zhang He drove him out and drove him straight to the port where he was going.
Hogan made a third interstellar phone call in the car, this time to Siebenfer: "... Cedric was attacked, and although we have a lot of trouble, only you can save him now, please and Lieutenant General Loft is acting together... Yes, I don't know the number of Lieutenant General Loft, so please, don't reveal it, maybe there will be traitors."
Still the same statement.
He didn't wait for Sibenfer to speak again, and hung up the phone directly.Arrived at port.
"Give me a ticket to Kendi Star tonight, the sooner the better."
Only then did Zhang He come to his senses. Recalling Hogan's call just now, he stared and said, "Cedric was attacked? Are you going to save him? Now? Parents will definitely kill me! At least you have to do something Prepare!"
"No need." Hogan said, and got a ticket to the imperial capital at midnight.
Zhang He scratched his head and scratched his head, sweating profusely: "No, no, it's useless for you to go, you have to listen to me this time, even if something happened to Cedric, there are people from the Dukuta family there!"
Hogan's eyes pierced the darkness, and Zhang He felt a steel-like will: "There is a traitor in their family, but I can't be sure who it is. I need to go."
"But you... oh!" Zhang He wanted to cry, "Then let me go with you! At least... At least don't let me face the runaway parents alone."
He hurried back to buy a ticket in a hurry.
When Hogan saw the spaceship arrive at the port, he boarded the spaceship and called Zhang He: "Go back, Zhang He, tell me to my uncle and aunt, and I will report to you all when I arrive."
Zhang He was in a hurry: "Wait for me, brother...it will be fine in a while."
Be sure to catch the spaceship!
As he thought so, the ticket window was blocked.The queue was motionless.
Zhang He cursed and leaned out to look. An auntie was fiddling with the machine awkwardly, her face anxious: "My God! Why would someone not even know where they are going!"
After the smart ticket vending machine fixed on the wall repeated "Excuse me for your destination" countless times, it reported to the superior, and the staff came over.
But it was too late at this time, Zhang He looked back and only saw the picture of the spaceship flying into the air.
He, dead, settled... Zhang He was mad with his head in his arms.
Sitting in the spaceship, Hogan leaned in his seat, thinking about whether there were any loopholes in the arrangement just now.
Telling the three people about Cedric's attack was because they were afraid that someone had already defected, and they would hide the news from Lieutenant General Loft, which would delay the rescue time; telling them not to disclose it, so as not to hurt Cedric, was to leave a Trap, if one of the three of them yelled about this matter to the whole world, it would be very problematic.
He didn't know enough about the Dukuta family's situation, and the time was too short.Now he can only temporarily target these three people on the grounds that they are close enough to Cedric and have enough reasons to attack Cedric.
Ernest seems to be following Sibenfer's lead, but in fact, it can be seen from the gift that night that this seemingly cowardly and incompetent man has his own ideas.He has been living under the shadow of his elder brother, will he harbor resentment?
Sibenfur was very dissatisfied with Cedric's resistance. Is it possible to abandon this third-generation heir?
Loft's adjutant has followed him for 20 years, does he have any idea about the position of lieutenant general?The birth rate in Dukuta is very low. If he loses an heir, Roft may have to choose a person closest to him to succeed him.The relationship between Loft and the rest of the family is not good, so an adjutant who has no connection with other forces would be a good candidate.
The spacecraft encountered a meteorite, and the sweet voice of the stewardess sounded in the cabin, reminding the passengers to fasten their seat belts.
Hogan rubbed his temples.
He locked his suspicions within the Dukuta family from the beginning, because he knew that Cedric would stay at home for one night and then go back to school.Even if he went out, he must not be far from home. Who would go near Loft's house and murder his son?But people within the family have reasons to do so, one is familiar with the environment, and the other is an excuse: I am not an idiot, why should I kill him at home?Isn't this exposing yourself?
But what if someone deliberately did this to mislead them in this direction?
Is it possible that it was done by outsiders?Five big families?Royalty?
He called Angus and asked him to send over the map of the imperial capital, and just as he received it, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door of Yuanwei Bakery on the famous Bailey Street in Kendi Star.The shopkeeper opened the door slightly with his belly open, and asked in a daze, "Who is it?"
The person who came was wearing a black hoodie, his face was hidden in the shadow under the hood, and his voice was extremely ugly: "Has anyone been here?"
"No!" said the uncle owner, who was about to close the door. "Knocking on someone's door so late, I thought there was something important..."
But he failed, and something cold hit his belly.
"Please, think again," the man in the hoodie begged.
The uncle of the shopkeeper hangs down his thick neck tremblingly, only to see a small electromagnetic gun relentlessly pressing against his stomach.
In Yuanwei Bakery, in the dark corner of the bread shelf, a naked cub with only the hair on its head is hiding in the bread, peeping at the bakery door with a serious expression, ready to run away at any time.
No.20 Two days, dark clouds overwhelm the city
Ten minutes ago, Roft walked into the information office of the military headquarters.There was tension in the air.
The adjutant greeted him.
"Your Excellency, you are here."
Loft looked around: "Am I late?" Although the air here was tense, there was no fighting atmosphere, and the opponent seemed to have retreated.
"The intruders retreated suddenly," the adjutant whispered. "Director Douglas is throwing a fit."
The director of the information department, who has the same surname as the emperor, has a distant bloodline of the royal family. He is irritable and irritable, but his status cannot be shaken.
"Failed to stop the intruder?"
The adjutant glanced at his boss. For some reason, he always felt that the tone of this sentence was not right. The lieutenant general seemed... very relieved?
"There is no power to parry." The adjutant said solemnly.
Roft nodded and walked towards the director's office.The adjutant followed and arrived at the door of the office. He took a step forward and knocked on the door. Director Douglas roared from inside: "Incompetent bastard! Get out!"
The entire information office shook. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lieutenant General Loft who knocked on the door. They looked at each other with a subtle smile and looked away.
The adjutant stood sideways and respectfully stood aside.
Roft said, "Director Douglas, it's me."
There was silence inside, and then unnatural footsteps sounded, the door opened, Director Douglas squeezed out an unskilled smile on his bureaucratic face, and said in a flattering tone: "Rom Is Ford in the future? Please come in, please come in."
Loft went in alone and closed the door.Director Douglas complained in the office, and Lieutenant General Loft could always find the most critical points in these words, and commented on the last sentence sharply.
Standing outside, the adjutant could feel the cold sweat on Director Douglas' face.
The entire information office can't stop a hacker from a remote planet. Until now, even the location of the other party can't be determined.
The adjutant shook his head contemptuously, and at this moment, his communicator rang.
is an unfamiliar number.
The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then walked to the side to connect. There was a young man's voice on the other end of the communicator. The content made him tremble. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions for confirmation, but the young man had already hung up the phone.
It was about Lieutenant General Loft's only beloved son. The adjutant would rather believe it than not. He knocked on the door, strode in, leaned next to Lieutenant General Loft, and reported in a low voice.
Lieutenant General Loft didn't even twitch his eyebrows, but when he heard Hogan's name, he glanced at him.
The adjutant breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the lieutenant general really knew this person, even if the other party was making a nasty joke, it was none of his business.
Roft got up to bid farewell to Director Douglas, and sincerely expressed his condolences before leaving.
Yaqiong understood what he meant, nodded and continued to treat his wound without speaking.He used to be a doctor in the field, and he was very proficient in his techniques, but because of his posture, he had to tilt his body, which was a little uncomfortable.
Loft is only in his 50s now, and he has already become a lieutenant general. Among a group of "veterans" with an average age of more than 100 years, he looks very young, and Dukuta has an average life expectancy of more than 300 years, which means that Loft's The future is very bright.Even if he spends the next 200 years idling around, it will be enough to be a five-star general.
Cedric thought of Loft's almost warning behavior to Sibenfer and Ernest, lowered his eyes, and the color of his pupils became darker and more terrifying.
Roft waited patiently for him, turned around, saw Yaqiong's awkward posture, and said, "You can sit on my lap."
Cedric: "..."
His heavy heart suddenly ceased to be heavy.
He should have thought about it a long time ago, why hasn't he gotten used to it?Father would always tease mother unexpectedly and solemnly like this.
And the mother's reaction every time did not disappoint Loft.
Yaqiong tied a beautiful bow with a blushing face, stood up hastily, and said angrily, "What are you talking about in front of the child?" Then, blushing, she ran upstairs.
Loft watched his wife leave calmly, but there was clearly an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cedric: "..."
How can two people who have a combined age of a century manage to be married for decades and still look like newlyweds?
Cedric had never seen Hogan blush.
When Yaqiong's back disappeared, Loft had recovered his coldness, and said to Cedric, "Let's talk in the study." The voice was cold.
Cedric: "...yes."
Entering the study, Roft asked Cedric, "What do you think?"
Cedric looked at the scarlet bandage on Loft's chest and said, "If you didn't show up at the port today, I would definitely say that the emperor did it."
The conflict between the Dukuta family and the royal family has a long history. The royal family is afraid of this powerful family, but at the same time has to rely on it.Back then Sibenfur escaped countless assassinations, and now it was Roft's turn.
Roft said: "Did I shake your mind when I went to the port?"
Cedric thought of Uncle Ernest, and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to doubt my family."
"Even if it is a family, there are differences of closeness and distance. In the face of absolute interests, not everyone can be your family." Roft said, "I will open up a strange star field in a few days, you know it Meaning, if I come back successfully, even if the emperor is unwilling, he can only give me the position of general. There has never been a family among the five major families of Kendi Star that can occupy two positions of general at the same time, and the Dukuta family will not be an exception .”
Cedric said: "If you become a general, will Sibenfer have to resign from the honorary rank?"
Loft noticed the word "honor" he emphasized, his light blue eyes were like cold sea water, and he gave a positive answer: "That's right."
"But even so," Cedric tried to distinguish, "Sibenfer would not attack his own son. He has already lost his power, and there is no need to do it again."
Loft said: "This matter has not yet been settled, but what is certain is that there is an inner ghost in our family. Only a few people in the family know about my itinerary a few days ago, and you don't even know. But the one who did it is The emperor's people."
In other words, someone betrayed the family and joined forces with their greatest rival.
Roft explained coldly: "I told you to raise your vigilance. Now you are not as carefree as before, and the other party may also attack you."
Cedric was sort of a family man.
Cedric was stunned for a moment, his face was unnatural, but he quietly puffed up his chest with a little pride: "I haven't told you about this yet..."
"No need." Loft turned around, took out a stack of documents from the desk drawer and handed them to Cedric, "I have fully understood your matter, you need to read this document now."
Cedric didn't quite understand, so he took it, looked at it a few times, and his face froze.
Loft stared at his son with undisguised suspicion, and said coldly, "You know what I mean. Knowing Hogan's true life experience, can you still have the confidence to laugh?"
Cedric looked at the document in silence, his fingers trembling slightly. After a while, he tore up the document and looked at the scraps of paper flying in the air irritably.
Roft said: "Now there are three suspects, respected Mr. Sibenfur, my dear brother, or, the mother of your egg."
After a long silence, Cedric said in a calm voice: "No, it's impossible, he doesn't know."
Under his father's stern and cold stare, Cedric's face was as deep as water, his expression resolute, and his unwavering firm eyes showed his resolute attitude.
Roft asked him again: "Are you really so confident in your judgment?"
Cedric said, "It's not my judgment, it's his."
Loft took a deep look at him: "Since you insist, I will remove him from the list of suspects, he is just the mother of Egg."
With Roft's tough and ruthless character, being included as a suspect means that he will take action, even his biological father is no exception.Cedric should be thankful, maybe he was close to facing a chicken-and-egg situation.
But because of this sudden stimulation, Cedric said surprisingly: "No, I think, he will still be my future partner."
No.19 days, undercurrent
On the distant Sangma planet, Hogan is in the laboratory of the virtual network, opposite the excited Angus.
In the past few days, they have been fighting here for a long time to solve the problem in the assembly process of the parts. Now that the problem has not been solved, they have made a surprising discovery.
For a long time, there have been two key criteria in the evaluation of mecha grades, the first is reaction speed, and the second is stability. Today, mecha technology is relatively mature, and the improvement of mecha reaction speed has been met. When it came to the bottleneck, the researchers tried to break their heads and did tens of thousands of experiments, but they couldn't make the mech respond faster by even 1ns.
Compared with the powerful quantum computing power of the cpu and the astonishing driving force of an excellent engine, the key to the problem is that the mech's hardware cannot bear the higher speed.For a long time, new materials have become the most popular major, and various colleges have allocated huge funds to materials majors, hoping that they can find tougher materials to adapt to faster speeds.
But until today, no one has been able to find a better alternative material.This kind of memory metal, which is commonly used in mechs today, is undoubtedly the best material.
Isn't it a matter of material?There are also people who have thought this way and tried to seek a structural breakthrough, but it is too difficult to construct a better structure based on the existing optimal structure.At least no one has yet.
If any researchers engaged in mecha manufacturing see the scene in this virtual laboratory, they will be surprised.In the mecha simulation experiment in front of me, the running mecha almost didn't stop when avoiding obstacles, and the speed obviously exceeded the threshold.
Angus stared at the running mecha obsessively, and murmured: "Who would have thought that the problem would come from an inconspicuous part?"
It is their continuous improvement of the parts of the assembly process that has achieved the miraculous response speed of this mech.Everyone would think of optimizing the structure of the mecha to improve its performance, but no one would have thought that a small change in the assembly process of parts would have such a big effect.
After reaching a conclusion, it seems easy to work backwards.
Angus suddenly realized: "In the past, the reaction speed of the mecha was stuck at the bottleneck. Every time it exceeded that speed, it would fall apart. The problem lies in that part. The original assembly process cannot maintain its stability at high speed! The new The reaction speed threshold has come out! It has increased by 50.00%! Hogan, we are going to be famous, and we will definitely be famous! This must be the greatest discovery of this century!"
In contrast, Hogan seemed too calm: "Yeah, who would have thought of that?" The days of experiments made him a little tired, and he said to Angus, "But don't get too excited, we still need practical Experiment, this is a simulated mech after all."
"You must not know the meaning of this number." Angus's facial muscles trembled suspiciously, and his nerves seemed to be clogged with excessive excitement, "This bottleneck has been stuck for more than ten years, but we have broken through. Hit and miss, but fuck, who cares? Future textbooks will have our name, the youngest mecha builder master! This speed will be named after us, Hogan-Angus speed! How does it sound?"
Hogan rubbed his numb face, listlessly: "Then you continue to work hard, I'll go to bed first."
Angus belatedly remembered that Hogan was not suitable for being overworked now.
"Get some rest." Angus secretly glanced at the time, feeling guilty, and hurriedly said, "I will check the data at school in the next few days, so you should have a good rest."
Hogan nodded and hugged him goodbye. After logging off, he fell into the bed and fell asleep within a few minutes.
It wasn't until he finally woke up after a few days of sleepless nights that he remembered what he and Angus had done.
They broke through a bottleneck that no one has broken through in more than ten years?A textbook achievement?
Hogan calmed down for a while, calm and incompetent, and called Angus.
Angus: "..."
Angus said: "It turns out that you are not calm, but the reflection arc is too long. With your reflection arc, you can circle the earth several times."
Hogan said: "I have to go to school, I can't let it go if I don't see it with my own eyes."
"Of course you can come, but can you travel long distances now?" Angus wondered, "It's better to wait for half a month and stabilize."
The growth cycle of Dukuta eggs in the mother's body is three months, and by the time of two months, the condition is basically stable.
Hogan thought for a while: "Forget it, I still have something to do."
Angus breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, wait a little longer." He was afraid that Dan's father would trouble him, "Pay attention to your health, goodbye."
He still has experiments to do.
Knowing what Angus was thinking, Hogan didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.But Angus, who was in the First Academy, failed to do the experiment right away.
His mentor Ha-jin has come to see him.
Angus was a little embarrassed to push back some of Ha Jin's requests because he was always busy with his own affairs recently.Ha Jin didn't blame him, but just looked at what he was doing, gave him a few words of encouragement with a strange face, and left.
Thinking that Ha Jin specially introduced himself to the mech parts assembly factory to familiarize himself with various parts, Angus felt even more embarrassed.He decided to make a gift for his mentor.
But for some reason, when he expressed his thanks, Ha Jin smiled reluctantly.
Hogan put down the communicator, went to the Internet cafe, and looked up "Joslyn", his father according to legend.He didn't use his intellectual brain at home.
Joslin, aged 45, ranks as a major general, one of the leaders of the second generation of the Dukuta family, and the favorite second generation of the Dukuta family owner Sibenfer.
No wonder.
Hogan saw the old face of Sibbenfer before his eyes.This face, together with the handsome and melancholy face on the light screen, was blacklisted by him.
For a character like Jocelyn, of course there is no complete information about him on the Internet, but Hogan wants to check more than that.Where should I start?Hogan tapped on the table and searched uncertainly.
More than an hour later, the father and son who were talking in the study were interrupted by a sudden communication.
"The communication network of the military headquarters has been attacked." The person on the other end of the phone said, "Right now, the military headquarters is flying everywhere. Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, you'd better come back quickly."
After listening, Roft put down the communicator and threw it aside.Cedric asked, "Did something important happen to the military?" He was sure he heard the word "attack."
Roft said: "It's no big deal, and it's useless for me to go back. In contrast, I hope to reach a consensus with you on this issue before leaving home. We need to know who our opponent is."
Cedric glanced at the communicator and looked away: "If you must ask me, I can only say that it cannot be Sibenfer, Uncle Ernest, or any of Hogan. Please After listening to my reasons, I will make an evaluation.”
Roft sat in a chair, posing in a relatively leisurely posture, motioning for him to continue talking.He used such body language to make the atmosphere a lot easier. After all, this was discussing the traitor of the family.
Cedric said: "Whether it's Sibenfer or Uncle Ernest, I choose to exclude them, not because of family or trust reasons, but because I am sure I understand their characters. They are not only not bold, but also too Be cautious, you don't have that kind of demeanor, you can betray an entire family."
Loft seemed to agree with him: "If it were them, they wouldn't be so calm when I showed up in port."
Sibbenfer was a first-class hero when he was young, but now he is old.Aging can change a person incredibly, and for Sibbenfer, it was obviously a very heavy blow.
"As for Hogan's judgment, I have to say that it is mixed with my personal feelings." Cedric said, explaining, "Although it was just an accident, I will not abandon my cub, I will Be responsible to them. Getting along with Hogan made me believe in his character, he couldn't..."
Just as he was talking, the call came again. Roft picked up the communicator, and the voice over there was obviously a lot more anxious: "The incident is escalating, the military department is trying to attack the invaders, but that damned guy swaggered and stole the confidential information." personnel information!"
Cedric shut his mouth.
Roft said: "Who are the information about those people?"
"Admiral Carlo, Tataglia Family, Major General Joslin..."
Roft said: "There is also Jocelyn's information?"
"Yes Your Excellency, the opponent is too cunning, we have reported to His Majesty."
Roft replied, "I see," and put down the communicator.
Loft looked at Cedric.
Cedric didn't understand, so: "What's wrong?"
Roft said, "What did you want to praise Hogan just now?"
"Honestly speaking, this is not a compliment." Cedric searched his stomach. "He is the most well-behaved person I have ever met. He is kind and brave, and even Sibenfu is afraid..."
Loft interrupted him: "But this most well-behaved person is probably invading the military's network and has already caused a commotion in the military."
Before Cedric could react, Roft said again: "If what you just said is true and you want to be with him, I have already agreed."
Cedric was stunned: "Why?"
Roft said: "It's a good thing to have a smart person complementing you by your side."
After Loft finished speaking, he went out, kissed his wife Yajun goodbye, left home, and returned to the military headquarters.
So, was he severely laughed at by his father?Cedric thought, and received a call from the port that his home robot had arrived, and he had to go to the port to pick up jk.
On the way, he wanted to make an interstellar call to Hogan, but found that it was a busy signal.A black shadow flashed behind him, and he turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
Call again, still busy.
Is it too "busy"?Cedric knew that Hogan must want to look up the information of "Joslyn". He thought about the scene where Hogan fought against the military technicians, and smiled, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
One and a half months pregnant, you should rest more and spend less time surfing the Internet.
He wasn't too concerned about Hogan hacking into the Army network.
Although he will be more mature than his peers, his attitude towards this matter is no different from his peers.hacker?Wow, how cool!
Cedric called a third time, but this time, he still couldn't get through.
The black shadow appeared again just now, and the voice was hoarse and broken, with a strange metallic texture, as if it was rolled out of rolling steel: "Want to know his whereabouts?"
Cedric was startled, and looked back, the black shadow flitted to the back, saying: "Follow me."
But at this time, on Sang Ma Xing, Hogan went offline and left the Internet cafe, took out the communication device to check, saw that there was no message, and went home.
No.20 days, Thunderbolt
Cedric gave chase.It was a man in a hoodie.
Follow each other, go darker and darker.
He put away the communicator and pulled out the electromagnetic gun from behind his waist.
Why did the other party know about Hogan?Even the royal family will not have such fast intelligence.
Is he a member of the five major families?Although the other four of the five major families are weaker than the Dukuta family, they don't like the Dukuta family.
But dealing with Hogan is not good for them.Now he is just a pawn, instead of kidnapping Hogan, it is better to kidnap Yajun.
Then it's not a family conflict.
The man in the hoodie in front looked back, looking eerie like a ghost.
He suddenly picked up speed.
Before he had time to think, Cedric ran after him.
His mind was racing, trying to sort things out.The wind whistled past his ears.
If it wasn't for the family's troubles, in terms of his personal hatred, he and the crown prince had some feuds.But the Crown Prince could not have known about Hogan.
Who else?
Maybe it's a punk who has been taught a lesson on the street.
Cedric pulled the safety catch of the electromagnetic gun.
At this time, they were already deep in the dark alley, and they could hardly see their fingers.Cedric watched the other person's slowing pace, his breathing rate dropped to the lowest point, and he barely made any footsteps.
"Who are you? Where is he?" Cedric said, and when he finished speaking, he dodged and stuck to the opposite wall.
If the other party is a person from Earth, this will cover his insensitive hearing and eyesight.
But the other party will bring him here, it should be very confident in the darkness.
However, compared to the sharpness of the five senses, Du Kuta was definitely better.Unless the other party is also Kuta.
The man in the hoodie stopped and bent over. Cedric thought of something and said coldly, "You'd better not move."
He pointed the electromagnetic gun at the man's back.
The man smiled. In the dark night, this laughter was like a steel knife scraping bone, extremely penetrating.
"Where is he?" Cedric asked again.
"Where is he?" the man repeated oddly, and the harsh voice made Cedric frown.
"He's right here."
As the man said, he turned around and picked up a portable cannon barrel in his hand, putting it on his shoulder.
This is the death ray cannon.
Cedric looked at his small and cute electromagnetic gun in comparison, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Cedric raised his hands and made a standard surrender gesture. Now he can be sure that the other party's vision in the dark is no worse than his: "We want to talk, you attracted me, you can't just want to kill me. You Let him go first, and then you can make any request later."
The man stared at him coldly, and said innocently, "Who is he?"
Cedric's expression changed.
The communicator rang.
It was a unique melody that only sounded when Hogan called.
The man carrying the death beam grinned and said, "How do I know who you want to contact? I just blocked your signal." He flipped his empty hand, revealing the black button on the palm of his hand, "It's just a little Pattern, a miniature signal jammer."
The communicator is still vibrating.
The man said: "Aren't you answering? It seems that someone important is calling."
Cedric's back was covered in cold sweat.The man's tone was relaxed, but his eyes were cold, and his killing intent was very real.
He may know the real intention of the other party.
A man's target is him.
How to escape the bombardment of the dead light cannon in a deep alley with a width of one meter?
Turn around and run?Where can I go?
Cedric glanced at both sides. The wall was very high, and it was impossible to go up unless he transformed himself and flew up.
But transform?In this one meter wide alley?
He will be stuck directly between the walls and become an immobile target.
In just a moment, maybe less than a second, countless possibilities flashed through Cedric's mind.
The communicator quieted down.
The man regretted, "Are you really not going to pick it up?"
Cedric said calmly, "But he's already dead."
"You can return one." The man looked like a nice gentleman.
But Cedric saw his evil purpose.This man knew what Hogan meant, and he must have wanted to blast himself into the sky the moment he talked to Hogan.
Cedric threw away the electromagnetic gun without haste, took out the communication device, and said, "Okay, listen to you."
The man looked at him with a smile.
Cedric pressed the number, his hand was steady, but the wet palm betrayed his heart.
Is it the only way to do it?
Cedric was a little unwilling to hear the sound of the communication device connecting.
He clearly saw the man squint his eyes.
really!
Men are about to act!
"Hey……"
Almost at the same time as Hogan's voice came out, the black hole of the Death Ray Cannon suddenly burst into bright light!
"Crack!" The communication device fell to the ground and was annihilated in the light of the death beam cannon.
"Chirp."
The street suddenly shook, and the uncle owner of Yuanwei Bakery looked up suspiciously, but found nothing.
He was about to continue closing the door when he suddenly felt something rub against his trousers.
Looking down, the uncle owner saw a hairless cub running fast, just like a running chicken.
The uncle owner wiped his saliva, closed the door, picked up the cub with two thin legs, bare buttocks, and ran desperately into the store, and sympathized: "Poor little thing, why did you lose all your hair? Come on!" Come here, uncle will give you something to eat."
No.20 One day, wind and waves
On Sang Ma, Hogan stopped in his tracks.
"Cedric...?" Hogan heard the sound stop abruptly, and then there was a shock after a moment, and then everything returned to calm.
The last is the busy tone.
He hesitated and stopped, his pupils were blank, and for a moment he didn't know what he was going to do.But after a while, his expression changed, he pursed his lips, and there was a cold brightness in his pupils.
Cedric was attacked.
This fact is beyond doubt.
There is no need to think about who did it now. In Cedric's capacity, there are too many people who can be suspicious, so there is no need to waste time now.
He hurried home and made a few phone calls.
The first call was to Zhang He: "Borrow me a car, yes, now, I need to use it immediately, and I will explain to you when I have time."
Then he made an interstellar phone call: "Hello, I know you are Lieutenant General Loft's adjutant... I am Hogan, you can ask Lieutenant General Loft about me, but you must press my Do what you say... Yes, you must do it, or I promise, no one will keep your official position... You must speak to Lieutenant General Loft about this alone, and tell him that Cedric was attacked... That's right, I just told you, you have to know, if you can't tell the Lieutenant General about this, you must be a traitor."
He didn't say any more and hung up the phone.
The information he just looked up is now useful, otherwise he would definitely not know that Lieutenant General Loft is Cedric's father, and it is even more impossible to know the number of Lieutenant General Loft's adjutant.It's a pity that there is no personal phone number from Lieutenant General Loft.
Hogan didn't stop, picked up the communicator and made another call, this time to Ernest, what he said was almost exactly the same as what he said to the adjutant.
"...Yes, Uncle Ernest, it was me. Cedric was attacked. I only told you about it. You must tell Lieutenant General Loft as quickly as possible. No one knows that the family has There are no traitors."
After hanging up the call, he had already arrived home, Zhang He was very efficient, had already borrowed a car, and was sitting in the driver's seat.As soon as he got in the car, Zhang He drove him out and drove him straight to the port where he was going.
Hogan made a third interstellar phone call in the car, this time to Siebenfer: "... Cedric was attacked, and although we have a lot of trouble, only you can save him now, please and Lieutenant General Loft is acting together... Yes, I don't know the number of Lieutenant General Loft, so please, don't reveal it, maybe there will be traitors."
Still the same statement.
He didn't wait for Sibenfer to speak again, and hung up the phone directly.Arrived at port.
"Give me a ticket to Kendi Star tonight, the sooner the better."
Only then did Zhang He come to his senses. Recalling Hogan's call just now, he stared and said, "Cedric was attacked? Are you going to save him? Now? Parents will definitely kill me! At least you have to do something Prepare!"
"No need." Hogan said, and got a ticket to the imperial capital at midnight.
Zhang He scratched his head and scratched his head, sweating profusely: "No, no, it's useless for you to go, you have to listen to me this time, even if something happened to Cedric, there are people from the Dukuta family there!"
Hogan's eyes pierced the darkness, and Zhang He felt a steel-like will: "There is a traitor in their family, but I can't be sure who it is. I need to go."
"But you... oh!" Zhang He wanted to cry, "Then let me go with you! At least... At least don't let me face the runaway parents alone."
He hurried back to buy a ticket in a hurry.
When Hogan saw the spaceship arrive at the port, he boarded the spaceship and called Zhang He: "Go back, Zhang He, tell me to my uncle and aunt, and I will report to you all when I arrive."
Zhang He was in a hurry: "Wait for me, brother...it will be fine in a while."
Be sure to catch the spaceship!
As he thought so, the ticket window was blocked.The queue was motionless.
Zhang He cursed and leaned out to look. An auntie was fiddling with the machine awkwardly, her face anxious: "My God! Why would someone not even know where they are going!"
After the smart ticket vending machine fixed on the wall repeated "Excuse me for your destination" countless times, it reported to the superior, and the staff came over.
But it was too late at this time, Zhang He looked back and only saw the picture of the spaceship flying into the air.
He, dead, settled... Zhang He was mad with his head in his arms.
Sitting in the spaceship, Hogan leaned in his seat, thinking about whether there were any loopholes in the arrangement just now.
Telling the three people about Cedric's attack was because they were afraid that someone had already defected, and they would hide the news from Lieutenant General Loft, which would delay the rescue time; telling them not to disclose it, so as not to hurt Cedric, was to leave a Trap, if one of the three of them yelled about this matter to the whole world, it would be very problematic.
He didn't know enough about the Dukuta family's situation, and the time was too short.Now he can only temporarily target these three people on the grounds that they are close enough to Cedric and have enough reasons to attack Cedric.
Ernest seems to be following Sibenfer's lead, but in fact, it can be seen from the gift that night that this seemingly cowardly and incompetent man has his own ideas.He has been living under the shadow of his elder brother, will he harbor resentment?
Sibenfur was very dissatisfied with Cedric's resistance. Is it possible to abandon this third-generation heir?
Loft's adjutant has followed him for 20 years, does he have any idea about the position of lieutenant general?The birth rate in Dukuta is very low. If he loses an heir, Roft may have to choose a person closest to him to succeed him.The relationship between Loft and the rest of the family is not good, so an adjutant who has no connection with other forces would be a good candidate.
The spacecraft encountered a meteorite, and the sweet voice of the stewardess sounded in the cabin, reminding the passengers to fasten their seat belts.
Hogan rubbed his temples.
He locked his suspicions within the Dukuta family from the beginning, because he knew that Cedric would stay at home for one night and then go back to school.Even if he went out, he must not be far from home. Who would go near Loft's house and murder his son?But people within the family have reasons to do so, one is familiar with the environment, and the other is an excuse: I am not an idiot, why should I kill him at home?Isn't this exposing yourself?
But what if someone deliberately did this to mislead them in this direction?
Is it possible that it was done by outsiders?Five big families?Royalty?
He called Angus and asked him to send over the map of the imperial capital, and just as he received it, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door of Yuanwei Bakery on the famous Bailey Street in Kendi Star.The shopkeeper opened the door slightly with his belly open, and asked in a daze, "Who is it?"
The person who came was wearing a black hoodie, his face was hidden in the shadow under the hood, and his voice was extremely ugly: "Has anyone been here?"
"No!" said the uncle owner, who was about to close the door. "Knocking on someone's door so late, I thought there was something important..."
But he failed, and something cold hit his belly.
"Please, think again," the man in the hoodie begged.
The uncle of the shopkeeper hangs down his thick neck tremblingly, only to see a small electromagnetic gun relentlessly pressing against his stomach.
In Yuanwei Bakery, in the dark corner of the bread shelf, a naked cub with only the hair on its head is hiding in the bread, peeping at the bakery door with a serious expression, ready to run away at any time.
No.20 Two days, dark clouds overwhelm the city
Ten minutes ago, Roft walked into the information office of the military headquarters.There was tension in the air.
The adjutant greeted him.
"Your Excellency, you are here."
Loft looked around: "Am I late?" Although the air here was tense, there was no fighting atmosphere, and the opponent seemed to have retreated.
"The intruders retreated suddenly," the adjutant whispered. "Director Douglas is throwing a fit."
The director of the information department, who has the same surname as the emperor, has a distant bloodline of the royal family. He is irritable and irritable, but his status cannot be shaken.
"Failed to stop the intruder?"
The adjutant glanced at his boss. For some reason, he always felt that the tone of this sentence was not right. The lieutenant general seemed... very relieved?
"There is no power to parry." The adjutant said solemnly.
Roft nodded and walked towards the director's office.The adjutant followed and arrived at the door of the office. He took a step forward and knocked on the door. Director Douglas roared from inside: "Incompetent bastard! Get out!"
The entire information office shook. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lieutenant General Loft who knocked on the door. They looked at each other with a subtle smile and looked away.
The adjutant stood sideways and respectfully stood aside.
Roft said, "Director Douglas, it's me."
There was silence inside, and then unnatural footsteps sounded, the door opened, Director Douglas squeezed out an unskilled smile on his bureaucratic face, and said in a flattering tone: "Rom Is Ford in the future? Please come in, please come in."
Loft went in alone and closed the door.Director Douglas complained in the office, and Lieutenant General Loft could always find the most critical points in these words, and commented on the last sentence sharply.
Standing outside, the adjutant could feel the cold sweat on Director Douglas' face.
The entire information office can't stop a hacker from a remote planet. Until now, even the location of the other party can't be determined.
The adjutant shook his head contemptuously, and at this moment, his communicator rang.
is an unfamiliar number.
The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then walked to the side to connect. There was a young man's voice on the other end of the communicator. The content made him tremble. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions for confirmation, but the young man had already hung up the phone.
It was about Lieutenant General Loft's only beloved son. The adjutant would rather believe it than not. He knocked on the door, strode in, leaned next to Lieutenant General Loft, and reported in a low voice.
Lieutenant General Loft didn't even twitch his eyebrows, but when he heard Hogan's name, he glanced at him.
The adjutant breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the lieutenant general really knew this person, even if the other party was making a nasty joke, it was none of his business.
Roft got up to bid farewell to Director Douglas, and sincerely expressed his condolences before leaving.
