Crimson Cross Observatory

"It's inconvenient for us to know, what is the purpose of the Cross Star Alliance coming all the way here?" Accompanied by Science Officer Mia, Nineteen looked at him curiously.He has always thought that human beings are very interesting. They have the most complex structure, but they are also very fragile. The thinking mode is quite simple, but occasionally it is unexpected, so it is very interesting to study. Nineteen is not a creature of this dimension. He actually does not know himself. How he came here, or how he was trapped here, may also be related to the "Battle of the Sickle", but Nineteen deliberately picked the appearance of human beings and imitated human behavior. This is because he feels that human beings are in this dimension. Most likely to be highly developed.

"I'm sorry, I can't say, this matter must be kept secret." Shaking her head helplessly, Mi Ya's scientific officer was also secretly observing Shijiu. After several seemingly vague contacts with her, she had reasonable doubts The other party is not a "human" at all. No matter how good Nineteen's dynamic imitation is, there are still restrictions on inorganic substances. In other words, Nineteen is an artificial creature, which is absolutely prohibited in the Cross Star Federation. Once it is found out, it will be destroyed immediately. But... since he is a smuggler and does not belong to the Cross Star Federation at all, she decided to pretend not to know and let this new friend "live" freely.

"Secret? It's no secret anymore. More and more warships are approaching the Crimson Cross Observatory..."

"how do you know?"

"The monitoring system of the Southern Bow."

The original pink pupils suddenly shone red, and Nineteen could easily connect with various systems on the South Bow. Naturally, through the monitoring system of the South Bow, more and more warships were hiding in this old ship. Near the space station, at the same time and at the same place, it is really inappropriate to use coincidence to perfuse the past.

"Oops..., we have to hurry up, this meeting must not go wrong!"

Leaning against the viewing window, Duke Luo Lian casually picked up a chair and sat down. At the same time, he beckoned for Lin Sen to accompany him. They obviously had the same facial features, but their temperaments were very different. Inherently noble, with an overly handsome face full of determination, he understood his destiny very early on, and from the moment he inherited this sacred name, he was doomed to an impossible life.

Contrary to Luo Li'an's fortitude, Lin Sen's appearance is much softer, just like his easy-going personality. He grew up in the fourth colony, and entered the First Academy of Sciences by accident. Lin Sen never seriously thought about pursuing What, it may just continue to live in an ordinary way. If it wasn't for the constant instigation and urging of a force in his body, he might not have the courage to leave the First Academy of Sciences and come here regardless of the consequences.

"Are you studying in the First Academy of Sciences?" Finding a topic to break the awkward atmosphere of silence, Luo Li'an is used to facing meetings and tasks, and he doesn't have many opportunities. Talking to young people, this taste is particularly fresh and precious.

"Hmm... you don't study there? Aren't all good candidates going to the First Academy of Sciences?...Uh! I mean..., it's not that you're not good...uh... that..."

"Hehehehe——I understand what you mean, I also have a chance to enter, but I don't have time."

After waving his hands to make Lin Sen less nervous, Duke Lorien laughed in a low voice. It was very interesting to see "myself" so flustered. He has been trained to be too calm, and he probably can't make a real expression that responds to emotions. .

"That's right...you're so busy! We're in the same age, but it turns out you look so wise, it's incredible." Lin Sen praised him sincerely, but what Lin Sen said made Duke Lorien's face darken slightly.

"I came here to remind you that although you have nothing to do with me, having such a highly similar appearance will definitely cause you trouble. For your safety, I hope you will undergo a few operations. So similar to me..." After pondering for a while, Duke Lorien persuaded him earnestly.

"Are you worried that I will use this face to do bad things?" Lin Sen suddenly felt uncomfortable, and asked back sullenly, why should he change his appearance?This is not unique to Duke Lorien. Could it be that he wants all people who look like this to change in the entire universe?Sure enough, he is a noble duke, overbearing....

"No! You've misunderstood... Alas—what I'm going to say now, you can't let other people know, it's just to remind you of the hidden danger..."

Sighing softly, Duke Lorien looked out of the viewing window, and a warship as slender as a blade slowly approached the Crimson Cross Observation Station.

"Hey!...Here." Called out in a low voice, Akasha kicked the downed Kampa Empire warrior into the old and useless emergency escape pod, and Akasha quickly grabbed Xiaowai who ran over his head return.This business is really a big loss. It doesn't count if you send Lin Sen an extra load. You have to help Miya Science Officer take care of these unexpected guests before you receive the final payment?She'll have to re-increase the fee.

"I really didn't lie just now. That kid Lin Sen looks exactly like Duke Lorien." Explaining hastily, Xiao Wai has always admired Akasha very much, admiring Akasha almost in admiration, and naturally didn't want her to If there is any misunderstanding about him, he knows that Akasha only regards him as a younger brother and has no other thoughts at all, but this does not hinder his loyalty to her.

"I said, I don't care." Shrugging, Akasha stared at her "wrist watch", very satisfied. Nineteen and the light spots representing the genetic characteristics of Mia's scientific officer approached them.

"Little Wai, go back to the Southern Bow and bring the goods over. They can be delivered after the buyer has checked them." Helping to clean up the mess, Nanda assigned the task with a blank expression.Although his position is the navigator of the Southern Bow, he is more like the nanny of Captain Akasha. The reason for the warriors of the Kempa Empire is that their disguise is too disgusting?Although Nanda didn't express much expression as if his facial nerves were necrotic, he couldn't help cursing a few times in his heart. Now that they have messed with the Kemper Empire, they can be added to the list of hunting them down.

"Oh...." Reluctantly, "Oh" was regarded as a response. Xiaowai looked at Akasha and then at Nanda. For women, he would also choose Nanda who is taciturn and reliable, instead of picking on himself who is loud and has little combat power.

"Wait..." Frowning, Nanda grabbed Akasha vigilantly and was about to leave Xiaowai. She took Akasha with her other hand and quickly dodged into the corner.

Although he didn't understand Nanda's actions, Akasha had unreserved trust in him. As for Xiao Wai, he was playing with his palm game console and let him find out through the heat source reaction in a short while. There were quite a few of them. The "person" approached them, immediately adjusted the gadget, released the interference again, and completely concealed them.

"What kind of animal intuition is that?"How could it detect someone approaching faster than the little crooked machine? ’Questioning silently with her mouth, Akasha stared at Nanda as if she saw a monster. She knew quite a few people from the Vashola planet. Because they were half-human and half-animal, their intuitions were usually very accurate, but Nanda Looking horizontally or vertically, she didn't come from Vashola, yet she had such a terrifying intuition. She had to re-evaluate her navigator.

Unexpectedly, the corners of his mouth were pulled into a slight smile. It was rare for Nanda to show such a complacent expression. Small sounds can be easily filtered out.

"Akasha!look! ’ Pulling Akasha’s arm vigorously, Xiaowai silently reminded that the three people hiding in the dark were staring at the group of people approaching with wary expressions. They all looked like humans, but they always felt that something was wrong. Leaving aside the strange costumes, everyone exudes a faint light, just looking at the bottom of the heart will have an inexplicable peace.

The leader is a tall and thin man with fair skin and blond hair. According to human standards, he is definitely a handsome man. Even from the perspective of the vast interstellar races, his appearance is considered excellent.Although they did not intentionally indicate that Akasha and the others who were hiding in the dark clearly knew the true identities of this group of people. Only the fools of the Crossstar Federation, the Bovars who negotiated with the Federation, would believe that this meeting was still a secret.

"Those are the Povars?" ...so beautiful.... 』I couldn’t help sticking out my tongue and tsk-tsk loudly. Although I know that it’s not fishy to describe a man as beautiful, Xiao Wai really can’t find other words to describe the tall and thin man just now. The whole person is like a delicate sculpture. A collection of perfect proportions.

"I thought Nineteen was a dummy, but I didn't expect anyone else to be more fake than him? Tsk..." Probably feeling threatened, Akasha ignored the danger of being discovered, and left the interference frequency first, annoyed He snorted a few times.

"Did you notice the 'coffin' they were carrying?" Frowning, Nanda looked solemnly at the direction in which the group of Povars left.

"Valuables?" Licking her lips greedily, Akasha immediately waved away her thoughts of robbing them halfway. Now that the Crimson Cross Observatory is surrounded by a bunch of warships, only fools would make a move here and grab it. I'm dead and leave.

"It's not like..., there is a life reaction." Playing with the gadget in the palm of his hand, Xiao Wai detected a slight heat source. Judging from the graphic display, the real appearance of the Povars is definitely not like this. appearance, deliberately choose the appearance of a human being.

"Don't worry about it so much. According to the original plan, I will leave after receiving the final payment. With so many warships watching around, I don't want to get into this muddy water!"

First he let out a long breath, and then he pondered for a while. Duke Lorien thought over and over for countless times, but he still had no intention of opening his mouth. Lin Sen didn't know whether he should wait patiently, or urge him without leaving a trace?

"Have you ever heard of replicants?" He asked without thinking, Duke Lorien's serious expression made Lin Sen not know how to react for a while.He is also a citizen of the Cross Star Federation. Of course, he understands the Cross Star Federation's norms. Although it is an extremely open alliance, it still has an inviolable bottom line, such as artificial creatures, artificial intelligence, and the replicants that the young duke said.

Human beings are not a minority in the cross star alliance, and in the process of development and evolution, human beings have made many mistakes. Among them, they use technology to interfere with nature and other self-proclaimed "God" behaviors, causing many devastating disasters .Therefore, the Cross Star Federation has set a standard that a single organ can be copied for medical purposes, but it is completely illegal to copy a whole person. Once found out, the copyer will be sentenced to severe punishment, and the copied person will be destroyed immediately.

"You...you don't think I'm a clone, do you? Stop joking! That's against the law!" Lin Sen couldn't help laughing. He thought what Duke Lorien was going to say, but he didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous thing. But after thinking about it afterwards, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Duke Lorien hadn't repeatedly assured that "he is not", maybe Lin Sen would really be regarded as a clone, and then dragged to be destroyed.

"I know you're not. You don't have a 'number' on your body. ... That's why I want you to change your appearance. If someone deliberately framed you, just for this alone, you will die."

"How is it possible? Duplicating human beings is against the law, who would believe such a thing..."

At first, he retorted with confidence, and then he became more and more guilty. Lin Sen stared at Duke Luo Lian suspiciously. What "number" did he just say?what does that mean?

"It's against the law... It's aimed at you ordinary people. The Luo Lian family has always had replicants, at least... I've always had several replicants..."

"Clam?"

Thinking again, the young duke looked into the distance with a solemn expression, and slowly revealed his "secret".At his age, how could he have such inconsistent experience and wisdom? Duke Lorien is like a synonym for almost omnipotent and omnipotent. He was destined to take over the Cross Star Federation from birth, because his "birth" Started to be different.The Duke of Lorien in each life has several replicants who are scattered and studied in different fields. After they are all "recycled", they will be decomposed and the essence of the genes will be extracted to recombine the Duke of Lorien in the next life, just like this from generation to generation "Duke Lorien" will be getting closer and closer to perfection.

"Disintegrate?... Then reassemble?... Uh, I feel a little disgusted..." Not knowing what to think of the young duke in front of him, Lin Sen suddenly felt that he was hundreds of times stronger than him. Although he did not have a distinguished identity or status, he still He was [-] percent, naturally human.

"Think I'm a monster? Hehe—I think so too..." His eyes once again showed loneliness. Duke Lorien deeply felt that this evolutionary method had reached a dead end, either in this life or in the next life. The intense exhaustion made him want to destroy himself.

"That was not what I meant……."

"It's okay, I don't mind, but I want to remind you that there are not many people who know this secret, but I can't say no, I don't want you to be "recycled" as a clone."

Looking at Lin Sen earnestly, Duke Lorien seemed to see in his eyes a kind of warmth that he had long since lost. He cherished that kind of exuberant vitality very much. He hoped that Lin Sen could live freely, and he would never be able to. Days of extravagance.

"I know, I will be careful, but... I don't want to change my appearance." Lin Sen smiled with some relief, and naturally sat next to Duke Lorien, and patted him as if cheering him on. With the same thin and thin shoulders, the latter was stunned at first, and then smiled slightly. It was for these simple and kind citizens that he wanted to take up the position of chairman of the Supreme Council of the Cross Star Federation. This was his birth responsibility. You can't live up to the reputation of the Luo Li'an family, and you must protect this interstellar world.

"Duke, the representative of the Povars has arrived." Calling hurriedly, the diplomat was sweating nervously.

Looking at each other, Duke Luo Lian waved his hand, asking Lin Sen to stay here and wait. Because of his appearance, it is inconvenient for him to appear on the next occasion, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.The latter understands the seriousness of the matter very well. Anyway, he has nothing to do with this matter at all. In the Crimson Cross Observatory, he is just an insignificant passer-by. It is natural for him to be ignored. Lin Sen doesn't care at all. , quietly slipped away from the other direction.

"Hello, welcome to this quadrant. I am the representative of the Cross Star Alliance, King Lorien XIX." With a generous and decent hand, Duke Lorien warmly greeted the representative of the Povals people.

"Nice to meet you. I am the guard of Queen Povals. You can call me Wuna." He paused for a while, and then reached out to shake hands with Duke Lorien. Wuna's body temperature was low, but the strength of the handshake was strong. Properly showing sincerity, the Povals had already carefully studied human etiquette before coming to this old space station.

"Where is the princess? Are you still on the ship?" Seeing that the accompanying men were all men, Duke Lorien frowned slightly. If he could wait on the space station regardless of the danger, shouldn't the other party show the same courage?

Turning his body slightly, Wu Na looked at the floating "coffin". Duke Lorien immediately understood, and his face changed from pale to pale. Could it be that some accident happened on the way here?This time the negotiation has not even started, and it has already been declared a failure?
