Locke Castle, the third floor of the underground city.

The white energy-saving lamps illuminate the entire laboratory as bright as day. Although the instruments and equipment in the laboratory have not been used for many years, due to the existence of the air purification and disinfection system, they are still as bright as new ones.There are various medicines stored in the neat freezers around. There are no labels on the freezers. Only those who are very familiar with this place will know where the needed medicines will be stored.

The automatic sensor door opened slowly in front of him, and a man in a dark blue military uniform walked in step by step.

The leather military boots, which are darker in color than the clothes, are spotless, stepping on the white floor tiles, reflecting a soft luster under the light.

The man had a handsome appearance, and the black belt around his waist made his already slender figure even more upright. Because he didn't wear a military cap, his ink-like black hair hung naturally and softly by his ears. The black and clear pupils were also calm and unwavering.

The man looked down at the boy who had completely passed out in his arms, frowned slightly, and gently placed the boy on the seat next to him, then turned around on his own, and quickly took out some from several freezers. Medicine, said in a low voice: "Black Dragon, bring these."

"Yes, Master."

The pure black mecha immediately came out from the space button on the ring, with golden eyes shining, and put all the medicines taken out by the master into the storage space inside the mecha.

Only then did the man walk up to the unconscious boy, bent slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed aside the hair that covered the boy's face, revealing his smooth forehead and delicate eyebrows.

The boy's eyelashes are very long, the tips of his hair are slightly curled, his fair skin is almost transparent under the light, and his appearance looks very delicate and refined.

The man couldn't help being stunned, "This child looks a lot like..."

Before he had time to think carefully, the black dragon suddenly said: "Master, Your Majesty has sent a message, please go over as soon as possible."

The man straightened up and said, "Okay."

Putting the black mech back into the space button, the man took a closer look at Snow who was in a coma, and whispered in his ear: "You know how to open the dungeon, you should be a child of an Omega from the Undercurrent organization, right? After using a nerve anesthetic, after waking up, you will not remember anything... This is the best."

The man turned and walked out, and locked the door of the central laboratory with the highest authority, so that no one can enter from the outside, unless the boy wakes up and opens the door himself... This is also the best way to protect him.

Walking all the way to the end of the corridor of the central laboratory, the man put his finger on an inconspicuous sensing area hidden in the corner——

I saw a silver-white metal door suddenly appearing in the wall at the end of the corner. The laser on the door immediately scanned the pupils of the person in front of him. Then, the door opened to both sides, and the man walked in slowly. Entering, the metal door quickly closed behind him, and the wall immediately returned to its original appearance, and the metal door disappeared without a trace in an instant.

——Shockingly, this passage hidden in the wall actually extends several kilometers underground!

Sitting on the elevator and descending quickly, the surroundings are dark, and it is as quiet as a huge underground tomb. Such a rapid descent even gives people an illusion of weightlessness. The lights in the elevator are especially special in the whole silence and darkness. weak.

I don't know how long it took to land, and suddenly heard a soft "bang", and the elevator seemed to touch the ground.

With this sound, the surrounding voice-activated lights immediately turned on——

A corridor more than three meters wide suddenly appeared in front of him. The floor of the corridor and the surrounding walls were covered with white floor tiles. The spotless white floor tiles shone brightly under the light, making the wide corridor look extremely empty.

The man did not move forward in a hurry, but walked aside, gently pressed a fingerprint sensor on the wall that was less than one centimeter in size, and as soon as he put his finger on the sensor, he saw random patterns appearing in the originally transparent air in the middle of the corridor. Red lasers as dense as spider webs!

——This is a laser verification channel.

The laser switch is the fingerprint sensor. If you walk up without passing the fingerprint verification, you will definitely be cut into pieces by the densely packed lasers in the corridor!

Soon, with a beep, the man's fingerprint was recognized by the authenticator, and the laser net in front of him quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the man turned around and walked quickly through the 100-meter-long wide corridor.

At the end of the corridor is still a silver metal door.

After passing the same pupil verification as the entrance just now, the entrance to the inner city of the dungeon finally opened slowly in front of him.

——If it is the first time to come here, you will definitely be stunned by the picture in front of you.

Under the ground several thousand meters deep, there is actually such a large secret weapon manufacturing base! !

The size of this underground space is even comparable to the largest castle on the capital star of the empire!

The whole space is brightly lit, thousands of machines are running at high speed, all kinds of metal parts are neatly stored in the nearby warehouse, and countless robot assistants are adding to the machines according to the set procedures. Although there is not a single worker for parts, this underground factory is still running very smoothly. The entire assembly line is automatically controlled by robots, and it looks orderly!

The man walked forward, and when he passed by a workshop, he saw a man studying the blueprint in his hand.The man looked very lazy, his shirt was buttoned crookedly, his hair was messed up like a weed, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken care of it.

The man seemed to be aware of the cold gaze above his head, raised his head, was taken aback when he saw him, then grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, walked up to him and opened his arms, "Ling Yu, long time no see !"

As the arms stretched out, the black oil stains on the sleeves that were stained by contact with the metal parts were clearly magnified in front of his eyes.

Seeing that he was about to rush over to hug her, Ling Yu hurriedly took a step back and squinted at him, "Difu, you haven't showered for a few days?"

Deve scratched his messy hair and said innocently, "I'm too busy to wash it."

Ling Yu: "..."

When a person with a cleanliness meets a person with such a sloppy lifestyle, even if they are all Omega, Ling Yu still can't bear his approach.

After a moment of silence, Ling Yu said, "Has Your Majesty arrived?"

Diff said: "I also just received the news, I should be there soon!"

While the two were talking, the metal door on the other side suddenly opened, and three people walked in one after the other.

The one walking in the front was His Majesty Trande, wearing the royal dress that the emperor would only wear when he attended a banquet. The formal attire was complicated and gorgeous, revealing a bit of His Majesty's majesty invisibly.

Followed by Mr. Aston, although his [-]th birthday has passed, his hair is gray, and the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, but he still looks steady on his feet, full of energy, and he is still happy after seeing Ling Yu. laughed.

Behind him was Admiral Reg, the captain of the Royal Guard. The man had regular facial features and an expressionless face. His right hand was always placed on the electromagnetic saber at his waist, and he was ready to protect His Majesty at any time.

The three of them walked forward, Ling Yu and Difu immediately went up to greet him, and respectfully saluted Trand, "Your Majesty."

Trander smiled slightly, looked at Deve and said, "Deve, time is running out, let's hurry up."

Diff immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."

The five walked through the factory together and came to a secret room. Difu opened the door of the secret room with his own authority.

——Different from the manufacturing factories with all kinds of machinery outside, this confined space looks very wide and empty. In the center of the cubic space with a length, width, and height of more than 50 meters stands a huge orange mecha!

It is a kind of vivid and beautiful orange, which is different from the calmness of pure black and the coldness of dark red. The warm orange seems to be coated with the rays of the sun. The whole mech looks full of vigor and vitality. Under the illumination of the lights, it is shining brightly, dazzling and indescribable!

The prototype of the mecha is a fox, which looks huge but has extremely smooth body lines. Every joint is connected just right, and it will definitely be extra flexible when running.

What's more rare is that this fox has nine tails.

Because the mecha is turned off, the nine tails are hanging on the back of the mecha at this moment, and once the tails are fully deployed, the attack weapons hidden inside each tail are enough to blow up the entire city, and two of the tails can also be deployed as wings .

This is a fox that can fly - the nine-tailed sky fox!

The manufacturing idea of ​​the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Mecha only exists in legends. For ordinary wolf-shaped and fox-shaped mechas, just one tail is enough for the mecha maker to study repeatedly, let alone making nine tails at a time.

This kind of mecha is too complicated to manufacture, and the connection between the nerve circuits of each tail and the central system is a rather cumbersome process. Once there is any mistake, the performance of the mecha will be greatly reduced.

Because of the high difficulty, even Aston gave up the manufacture of this kind of mecha back then. Unexpectedly, the youngest apprentice he accepted—the Omega boy Difu from the Undercurrent Organization, after years of hard work, really Successfully made such a god-like mecha.

Difu activated the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox under Trende's signal.

The intelligent system started, and the orange mecha's eyes immediately lit up with a soft white indicator light. At the same time, with a "wow", the nine tails behind him quickly erected and spread out. The nine beautiful big tails almost blocked the light in the entire room. The huge shadow cast on the ground made everyone so amazed that they even forgot to open their mouths to praise!

Everyone looked at the mech in front of them excitedly. After a long silence, Trand smiled and said, "This mecha was completed faster than I expected."

Aston also narrowed his eyes with a smile, and patted Div's messy head hard, "That's right, brat, I didn't embarrass your master!"

Difu chuckled and said, "Master, most of the ideas for the design are still yours. It's not my fault alone!"

Aston was even happier, and rumpled the little apprentice's messy hair into a chicken coop, "You have been studying this mech in seclusion for many years in the ground, and you have even delayed your lifelong event. Don't worry, wait until the matter is over, Master I must find the best Alpha to marry you!"

Difu scratched his hair with a bitter face, "Don't worry about it, I'd rather be with mechas than see those Alphas."

Admiral Reg, the captain of the Royal Guard next to him, couldn't help but frowned—this man with dirty clothes and messy hair is actually an Omega?This is simply subverting human aesthetics.Would anyone dare to marry him?

Ling Yu calmly turned around and asked, "Difu, is this mecha the legendary double S class?"

Mentioning the mecha, Diff's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded, "Yes. The attack weapon of this mecha is more powerful than the S-class one, and it is difficult for one person to control it. The design principle of my system is that two pilots The mental power of the crew and the mecha are fused at the same time, one master and one pair, and the left and right brain hemispheres of the two control the left and right halves of the mecha, which can directly double the reaction speed of the mecha."

That’s right, no matter how good a human being is, his brain’s reaction speed is limited, and it’s impossible to control such a complex mecha freely. It would be different if two people operate together. This not only greatly reduced the burden on the driver, but also greatly accelerated the response speed of the mecha.

However, it is not easy to find two drivers who cooperate so well.

Diff looked at Ling Yu excitedly and said: "The initial mental power of this mecha is set to 310 points. I remember that when you matched with Suzaku, the mental threshold was more than 350 points. Rosen's mental threshold is also the same as yours. Almost, I think, if you and Rosen are driving this mecha together, it will definitely be able to perform..."

"No." Ling Yu interrupted him very simply, "According to what you said, to drive a double S-class mecha, both pilots must mentally match with the mecha at the same time, so that they will exchange each other. memory. The left and right brain hemispheres of the two are separated to control a part of the mecha system, and the two must have absolute trust in each other."

Ling Yu paused for a moment, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his dark eyes, but he quickly changed into a calm expression, and said in a low voice: "It is impossible to achieve this kind of absolute trust between me and Luo Sen. .”

When two people drive mechs at the same time, the left and right brain hemispheres are connected to each other. Not only do they have to let each other know all their memories and feelings without any privacy, but they also absolutely trust each other, and even entrust their lives to each other. At the critical moment, you must not hesitate, you must absolutely trust the control of the other half of the system of the mecha by the people around you...

For Ling Yu, it was too difficult to do this.

He has been used to independence since he was a child, and he will solve any difficulties independently. Even in the most difficult moments, he never thought of handing over his back to another person.

What's more, that person was... Rosen who forcibly marked him.

Difu looked at Ling Yu suspiciously: "How do you know if you don't try it? You are sure that you and Rosen can't drive the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox? Both of you have very high mental thresholds." Only obsessed with mecha research and nervous Datiao Difu, the criterion for judging drivers is only their mental threshold, and issues such as feelings are completely out of his consideration.

Ling Yu was silent for a moment before saying: "You don't understand, this is not just a matter of mental threshold."

Diff was very puzzled, and scratched his hair a little irritably, "What's the problem? This mech is set according to the spiritual standards of you and Rosen... Aren't you and Rosen good comrades in arms? I also often lead the legion to cooperate, why not drive the mecha together?"

Ling Yu didn't answer, but turned to look at Trand, "Your Majesty, do you have a suitable candidate in your mind?"

Trander thought for a while and said: "I think of two people. It's just that they are too young to take on such a big responsibility... In two years, they can try it when they grow up. I think they will definitely not disappoint others."

Difu was surprised and said, "Is there anyone with a higher mental threshold than Ling Yu?"

Trander looked back at Ling Yu, Ling Yu met his gaze, was stunned for a moment, and said in a stiff tone: "You mean..."

Trander nodded and said, "That's right, it's that child."

Ling Yu: "..."

I don't know if it was because the lights were too dazzling, but Ling Yu's usually calm face seemed to suddenly turn pale.

Difu looked puzzled and said, "Child? What kind of child?"

Mr. Aston finally couldn't bear it anymore, he patted the stupid apprentice on the head hard, and replied: "The one with a higher mental threshold than Ling Yu and Luo Sen is naturally the offspring born after their union, that is, Ling Yu and Luo Sen Sen's son."

"...Oh!" Difu finally realized suddenly.

Ling Yu looked at Trand and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen him?"

Trander smiled and said: "Yes. That kid is even better than I imagined. He won the championship in the National Mecha Contest this year. It's just that he is still young and his mental strength is not stable. When he grows up Bigger, I believe he can definitely control the nine-tailed sky fox."

Ling Yu was silent for a moment before saying: "...You can arrange it."

Everyone inspected some secret weapons being manufactured in the underground factory together, and then left here.

Time is too tight, Aston and Trand must return to Behe's apartment as soon as possible before the birthday party is over. Fortunately, there are several exits in this dungeon, one of which is at the residence of old Mr. There are two entrances to the dead city and the palace in the palace.

When everyone parted at the fork in the road, Trander suddenly called out to Ling Yu.

"Ling Yu."

Ling Yu turned around, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

Trand walked in front of Ling Yu, and asked softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't you want to see that child?"

Ling Yu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No need, I have to go back to the base as soon as possible. Zhou Yi told me about Xiaoyuan's situation."

Trand paused, "Then... what about Rosen?"

Ling Yu's face froze slightly, and he pretended to be calm and said: "I don't need to meet him."

Trander said helplessly: "Are you still concerned about the fact that he forcibly marked you regardless of your wishes?"

Ling Yu said calmly: "No. Under the circumstances back then, what he did was the best choice. He saved me, and I never blamed him." Ling Yu paused, "Your Majesty, if nothing else It's okay, I'm going first."

After Ling Yu finished speaking, she turned around and left quickly, walking very resolutely and resolutely.

However, the fingers beside him were suddenly clenched tightly.

He has always been like this since he was a child, he never regrets what he decides, and he always does things decisively and without delay.

But just now, when His Majesty mentioned that child, his heart still felt a sharp pain.

"Dad...don't leave me...Dad..."

The scene of the four-year-old child pulling the corner of his clothes with his soft hands, looking at him with teary eyes, and repeatedly calling his father in a childish voice flashed through his mind...

Even after so many years, recalling that scene still hurts my heart.

The pain of separation was a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than he had imagined, even more painful than when he saw the familiar Rosen pressing on him when he woke up in the top-secret cell.

Ling Yu gently closed her eyes, tightly clenched her palms, and then slowly let go.

His expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but the already pale lip color was even paler.

When he returned to the ground of Locke Castle by the elevator, the handsome man had already adjusted his emotions, and summoned a copy of the black dragon in a low voice as if nothing had happened.

In the dark night, the black mecha suddenly soared into the sky, straight into the sky, only the golden pupils that light up occasionally, like a fleeting meteor, pierced the sky in an instant.
