Architect

on the eyes.

If it has reached the point where death is certain, there is nothing more miserable than death, right?At this moment, he felt a lot more relaxed. Those inexplicable entanglements in the past now seemed to be moaning for nothing, and he exiled himself for those meaningless persistence. It's ridiculous to grind down the ordinary and boring like a stone, and finally die in this corner of the universe.

Just when his thoughts were confused and his mind seemed to be stuffed into a ball of wool, but he was staring blankly at the beautiful spiral nebula in the distant universe, suddenly the rescue cabin trembled violently, and then a backward movement The traction force of the rescue capsule was dragged out of the planetary belt.

A shadow enveloped it, and the small rescue capsule was swallowed by a spaceship like a small fish.

Ike in the rescue cabin suddenly had a glimmer of hope, even if he was captured by pirates, at least he could touch the body temperature of human beings before he died.

"Zi──"

The door of the rescue cabin was opened, and the strong light outside made the eyes sting after staying in the dark space for too long, and they couldn't see clearly what was in front of them, and could barely see the figure shaking back and forth in front of them.

Suddenly his arm was grabbed by a hand like a large pliers, and the whole person was pulled out of the rescue cabin.

After sitting in the narrow seat of the rescue cabin for too long, Ike felt that his legs and feet were as soft as a hose that had been sucked out of nutrients. Unsteady and fell forward.

The person who dragged him out didn't seem to have expected that he would bump into him, so he was hit straight.However, that person was quite tall and strong. An adult man like Ike bumped into him with momentum, but he was not knocked away but held Ike firmly.

"are you OK?"

Ike's nose hit the opponent's arm. The hard bones and muscles made his fragile nose almost crooked. Although there was no nosebleed, the soreness was inevitable. He covered his nose to hold back the tears that were about to fall out of his eyes. Didn't notice why the pirates still cared about his well-being.

He resigned himself to his fate and fell down on the deck, allowing the other party to deal with him.

But for a long time, he didn't hear the sound of gunshots, and he didn't suffer any kicks or kicks.

When his eyes got used to the light and his sight became clear, he finally saw clearly the interior of the spaceship. The standard equipment and weapons were neatly arranged on the bottom of the cabin. Although he had no experience of setting foot on a pirate ship, that kind of How can interstellar bandits who ignore the law and plunder and kill casually care whether the spaceship is neat?

The "pirates" standing around the rescue cabin looked very strong, wearing a uniform tight-fitting army green top and black military trousers, their bulging chest muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles were clearly visible, their waists were straight, their hands were in the There was a slight movement behind his back, but his body exuded an inviolable might.And in their eyes was the indifference that has been killed for a long time, and the eyes that fell on him seemed to be not looking at a person, but examining an item of unknown use.

Standing closest to him was the man he had just bumped into, a tall young man.He was much younger than these "pirates", with short brown hair and sharp spirits, and the expressions on his dark face were richer than those of the "pirates" beside him. His eyes were very straightforward and worried.

Ike winked a little, these people really don't look like murderous interstellar pirates.

The big man who bumped into him spoke first: "We found you based on the signal from this rescue cabin. Are you a crew member of the Gemini?"

The other party's attitude was a little too good, which made Ike stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the cabin door opened "swish-" and a red-haired young man walked out. His handsome face was unruly and loose, with an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. He looked very young, but from those few people As soon as the "pirates" saw him appear, they staggered sideways left and right to make way, and raised their hands in salute. Judging from the situation, this young man is the leader of the spaceship.

Followed closely behind him was a man dressed like several "pirates", with a burly figure and a cold and resolute face covered with scars scattered by bullets. Ike guessed that he was probably this young man. The captain's personal bodyguard or something.

The red-haired young man sat down on the lifting steel frame with a pissed off face, touched the lighter and lit a cigarette with a "snap", then raised his chin in Ike's direction: "That's him?"

The big man who spoke to Ike just now replied, "Yes, boss. He was the only one found in the rescue cabin."

The red-haired young man took a look at the rescue cabin of the personal cabin, which obviously could only accommodate one person, and rolled his eyes with a look of "how fresh, if you have the ability, dig out one more person to take a look".Turning to look at Ike, his eyes became extremely sharp: "Are you a crew member on the Gemini?"

"Yes."

"What is your name?"

Ike squirmed his lips: "I... Ike..."

"Ike?" The red-haired young man muttered for a while, then turned his head and whispered something to the man beside him. The man nodded in response, turned and walked out.

Ike finally had the opportunity to ask his inner question: "Who are you...?"

The red-haired young man didn't mean to hide anything, and told him directly: "We are mercenaries. We saw bloody and tearful skeleton pirate ships attacking merchant ships when we passed by on the channel. Considering that catching one pirate is more profitable than transporting ten boxes of scarce metals." , so we accept it with impunity." His tone was relaxed, as if destroying the three pirate ships was just a leisurely time to drink saliva.

The man who had just left came back quickly, and whispered a few words in the young man's ear.

The red-haired youth immediately frowned with sword-like eyebrows: "The name 'Ike' is not in the crew registration list of the Gemini."

Ike was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "I am indeed a crew member of the Gemini. Because I was employed temporarily, my name was not registered. The rescue capsule I took has electronic signal records, you can check it!"

"Signals can be forged, and who can guarantee that the people sitting in the Gemini rescue cabin must be crew members, not interstellar pirates in disguise?" The young man snapped his fingers, and two "pirates" immediately understood, one on the left and one on the left. Right picked him up like a chicken, "I'm sorry, for safety's sake, if you can't prove your identity, you can only be locked up with those captured pirates."

Locked up with those diabolical thugs?It's no wonder he can go back alive!Even if half of his life can be spared, when these mercenaries hand over the pirates to the alliance court, such an insignificant person like him will definitely be regarded as an accomplice of the pirates, isn't it a dead end? !

He was held up by two arms like iron hoops, one left and one right, and he couldn't resist at all. Ike became anxious: "Wait a minute! By the way! Have you found the other crew members of the Gemini? They can prove my identity! "

The red-haired youth folded his arms and shook his head: "There are no survivors. They were all killed by pirates when we boarded the ship."

"I... I'm really not a pirate..." Ike suddenly developed a kind of inexplicable weakness. No one can prove who he is, and there is no evidence to prove everything he said, just like he once said. The bar tried its best to argue that he used to be an architectural designer instead of a sex toy designer, but it was useless.

Seeing his painful expression, the big man who had talked to him before couldn't help but interjected, "Boss, I don't think he looks like a pirate... How about you take a look first?"

The red-haired young man glanced at the big man: "Angus, are you familiar with him?"

The big man quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "I've never seen him before, I just said a few words to him just now."

"Then why do you think he's not a pirate? Because he doesn't have the words 'I'm a pirate' engraved on his forehead?"

The big Angus blushed immediately, but he still expressed his opinion: "No, no, I see that his arms and body have no strength at all, and they are limp...Let's not talk about guns, maybe even You can’t even lift a kitchen knife, so how could you be a pirate?”

Ike knew that he lacked exercise in his eyes. In addition, he lived day and night, and his meals were irregular. His body looked fine, but it was actually like an old machine full of rust inside.In addition, he escaped from robbery by pirates not long ago, and sat in the rescue cabin and floated in outer space for a while. His despondency is really beyond description. Just now, he hit his nose very miserably, so now it looks like a hand and foot. The unlucky old man with limp, curly hair and disheveled, bloodshot eyes and red nose.

No one likes to hear others say that he is a soft man. Normally, Ike might retort indignantly, but at this time, he can only swallow his anger and succumb to this kind of statement. Better than being thrown into a bunch of pirates mad at getting caught.

The red-haired young man rolled his eyes again unbearably, looked at Ike a few more times, and somewhat agreed with Angus's statement: "It's rare for you to be so clever, okay, let's take a look first and then talk about it." But just in case, Angus, you have to watch him until you reach the next port." After speaking, he looked at Ike: "Listen, don't make me any moths, we are against pirates Not forgiving."

After the young man who said harsh words and the bodyguards around him left, the two "pirates" holding him let go, and Ike sat down again with weak legs and feet
