Star Hunting Guide

The Sunday of Devouring Church left a deep impression on Russell. He remembered that when he just graduated from university, he participated in a cheating outward bound training. Give to those who have helped them, and then hold hands and sing inspirational songs like "Dedication of Love".Unexpectedly, after so many years, he experienced this kind of painful education of love in an alien galaxy.

On the stage, a shape-shifting man tearfully told how he experienced a tragic experience, and how he got rid of the shadow in his heart under the influence of Devouring Cult. Organization, worship is like brainwashing. People on the stage are talking there, people in the audience are crying there, and the interaction is perfect.

I have to admire Mr. Biscuit. After everyone finished speaking, he would go up to pretend to comfort and encourage everyone, and he would quote teachings in every sentence.In the end, he led the inspirational song on the stage. The lyrics in the bosom friend style were illogical, but he sang with great devotion, with moving tears shining in the corners of his eyes, because the appearance was too similar to Sauter, which made Russell's goose bumps all over his body. All in one, how can this be the head of a cult? He's just an old drama player. He used to be in the entertainment industry, right?

Finally, after the service was over, Russell bid farewell to Ollie and exited Mount Swallowing. He was sweating like he had been in a battle. He let out a long sigh of relief and took off the holographic helmet from his head. He turned his head and was startled. He squatted beside him and looked at him, with a confused look on his face: "Boss, why are you crying? You're still crying like you're singing. Is Mr. Sauter going to abandon you?"

Russell was drinking water, and spewed out a sip of water. When he sang, he felt a toothache. Is it true that the teaching songs are all about women? "No, an acquaintance introduced me to the Devouring Cult, and I went to church with them just now, singing in a chorus."

"The Church of Devouring?" Jopp's face changed suddenly, "How can you join this kind of church!"

"What's the matter?" Russell was puzzled, he hadn't seen Yop paying attention to this before, why did he seem to have a deep prejudice against the Devouring Cult.

Yop was suffocated, opened his mouth, but did not say anything, paused, and said: "Why do you believe in religion when you are doing well, there are so many jobs waiting to be picked up, besides, if something happens to the church, it will be punished by the government." Check it out, didn't you just cause a lawsuit for no reason?"

After going through a church service, Russell also had this concern, but thinking about it, since Sauter introduced Ollie to him with good intentions, it is always bad to brush off the kindness of the old man. That’s all, it’s not a big deal, and I don’t participate in subversive activities.”

Yop frowned, didn't say anything more, handed him a contract, and said, "There is a courier job, the pay is good, but it takes about six or seven days to go back and forth, I can't do it alone, how is your health?"

"It's better, it should be fine."

Russell and Yop were on the road early the next morning. The courier to be delivered came from a couple of shapeshifters who settled in Sagena. Their son was engaged in real estate on the edge of the galaxy, and their daughter-in-law was recently pregnant. The anxious parents-in-law immediately pickled a large jar of sour broccoli and asked Russell to help them deliver it.

During the three-day voyage, the whole small spacecraft smelled of sour cabbage. It was too strong. No wonder ordinary express delivery refused to pick it up. Just smelling it made people's molars itch.After insisting on it for two hours, Yop's face turned pale, he put on a gas mask tightly, and even held his nose while eating.

The strange thing is that Russell, at first he thought the taste was too sour, but later he actually enjoyed it, wishing he could hold that pitch-black jar while flying the spaceship, it was so refreshing, if it wasn’t for professional ethics, He must open the jar and fish out a tree to eat.

After the items were delivered, Yop immediately activated the air self-cleaning device, bought fresheners with ten times the strength locally, and sprayed them in the spaceship. .

They won't be able to leave for a while. Russell and Yop are wearing biological clothes and squatting next to the construction site, waiting for the smell of the spaceship to dissipate. The rich scent of freshener and sour cabbage wafts out, making people almost want to cry. , From time to time, construction workers passed by, holding their noses and walking around in disgust.

The memo rang suddenly. Russell opened the mailbox, and there was an email from Sauter lying in it. His work finally came to an end, and he got a two-day vacation. He will come to Chang'e for vacation in three days.

Solter's vacation is usually calculated by the hour, and it is too extravagant to calculate it by the day like this. Russell was in a good mood, and immediately emailed him back, telling him that he was doing a mission on the edge of the galaxy, and he should be able to return in three days , if Sauter arrives early, you can try on the sweater on the desk first. Although there are still two sleeves missing, it is already large.

Solter sent him a sweet kiss back, telling him "I'm looking forward to it baby."

Russell smirked and closed the memo, with a blissful expression on his face, even through the biological coat, he could see clearly, Yop turned his head, sighed silently, walked into the small spaceship with his head dejected and masochistic, and burst into tears within 2 minutes He ran out in a communicative manner, leaned on a tree and vomited heavily, making Russell wonder if his nausea was infected by him too.

Because they wanted to go back early, when the smell was almost gone, the two of them boarded the small spaceship.The journey home is not far or near, but there is no jump station, and the fastest flight is the speed of light. Russell has been in poor physical strength recently, and he started to feel sleepy after driving for less than ten hours. Yop cooked him some thick soup to drink , Let him go directly into the dormant cabin.

Russell was very comfortable after drinking the soup. After sleeping for [-] hours, half of the journey had passed when he woke up. Although Yop looked sissy and weak, he had very good stamina. After [-] hours of sailing, he still In good spirits.

"You go to sleep, I'll have a meeting." Russell opened his seat belt, Yop obediently gave way to him, made a cup of tea by himself, sat beside Russell and drank slowly.

"Is Mr. Salter coming?" Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Jop guessed that Salter was coming.

"Uh... yeah, he's planning to come over for two days off."

"Oh, then I'll take you back to Chang'e. Let me drive the small spaceship for two days. I want to go out and have fun."

"Okay." This suggestion caught Russell's heart. At first, he was thinking about whether to give Yop a few days off to avoid it. It's embarrassing in a transport ship.

After flying for a while, Russell's memo rang again. He thought it was Sauter, but when he opened it, he found out that it was a conversation request from Ollie.

"Grandpa Ollie?" Russell turned the spaceship to autopilot, turned on the communicator, and Ollie's holographic projection appeared in front of him. Grandpa Biscuit looked a little different today, very serious, not as offline as usual Enthusiastic: "Hello Commander Russell."

"Hello, Chief Ollie." Russell thought it was another form of humor, so he changed his address. Ollie nodded and said, "This afternoon, the eighth quadrant is going to organize an event. You should join in." This afternoon?" The time was a bit rushed, Russell decided that he would not be able to go back, so he could only apologize and said: "I'm sorry, I'm on a business trip, and I definitely won't be able to go back this afternoon, and I don't have a holographic device around me."

"Where are you?" Ollie frowned, stretched out his hand and dragged out a dialog box, signaling him to enter the coordinates. Russell hesitated, and entered the coordinates displayed on the spaceship navigator.Oli raised his eyebrows and said: "Very well, it doesn't matter if there is no equipment. Our event this time is not holographic, but realistic. The meeting place is not far from you." He showed him a coordinate and said: " This is right here, an abandoned space port, which can be reached in three hours at your speed, and we are all waiting for you there."

Russell always felt that something was wrong, Ollie looked weird today, besides, his body had already perished, how could he still be able to attend the real party? "Wait, Grandpa Ollie, why did you suddenly launch a party? What important issues are there?"

"It's about human rights and responsibilities. It's very important." Oli said with a solemn expression, "There are still many people living in darkness in this galaxy. Although we all believe that the holy light of devouring will shine on them in the end, this process requires us to Your efforts, my son, as a commander, your responsibility is very great, and thousands of congregation need your leadership."

Thousands of congregants...Thinking of so many people waiting for him to lead, Russell felt a little embarrassed to sneak away. Besides, it was not kind to run away when he promised to help Ollie, so he nodded and said: " OK, I'll go right now."

After turning off the communicator, Yop came back after washing his teacup, and said with a frown, "You really want to go to that space port, as far as I know, no one usually goes there, it's so deserted."

"It's not far anyway, let's go and have a look." Russell resumed the manual operation, and began to look for the nearest entrance and exit on the navigator, "By the way, aren't you going to take a vacation? It may take seven or eight hours for me to go back and forth. How about this, I will put you on the public transportation station later, and you can take the public airship to go home first."

"It's better not to." Yop said worriedly, "You are not in good health recently, don't worry about it, let's go home early, besides, isn't Mr. Salter coming to take a vacation, what if you miss him?"

Speaking of this, Russell was also a little worried, but since he had agreed to Mr. Biscuit just now, it is not good to backtrack. In the future, relatives will not look up and look down. Sauter's face is not good, so he said: "It's okay, my next voyage Hurry up, he will wait for an hour or two, it doesn't matter." Positioned an exit, adjusted the course and flew over, "I'll take you to the public airship first."

Yop showed a worried look, and said, "I'm most afraid of taking a public airship, where perverts are crowded around, I'm often molested, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I'd better go to the party with you, if they Don't let me in, I'll wait for you on the spaceship."

This kid is indeed too attractive. Russell was a little worried when he thought about bus satyrs, tram morons, etc. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back a few hours later. If you are bored waiting, you can play for a while." Children's games."

Yop nodded, fastened his seat belt and sat next to Russell, his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, looking at the dark universe and the boundless sea of ​​stars in the monitor, he was full of thoughts.

Three days later, Sauter drove back to Chang'e in a small spaceship, but what greeted him was not his enthusiastic and straightforward wife, but a cold and empty cabin.

"Russell?" Sauter called out, but no one answered, only a slight echo was heard. After turning around in the Chang'e, he didn't find Russell's shadow. The cabin was clean, and the bed in the bedroom was made evenly. A half-eaten biscuit was placed on the desk, next to a smooth and delicate white cashmere sweater.

Maybe it was delayed on the road, Sauter thought regretfully, took off his coat, put the cashmere sweater on the shirt for an interview, the size was just right, although it had no sleeves, strictly speaking it was just a woolen vest, but it was really comfortable to wear It was so soft and warm, he lowered his head to sniff, and exuded Russell's light body odor.

There was a black velvet box under the sweater, Sauter opened it curiously, wow!An emerald ring that is very eye-catching, try it on your ring finger, the size is just right, the corners of your mouth immediately turned up in a good mood, after thinking about it, you took off the ring and put it back in the box, such an important token is still waiting for Russell to come back It's more suitable for him to wear.

The house is so quiet, and there is a vague mint smell in the air. Even though his wife hasn’t come home yet, Sauter already feels very happy. He walked back and forth for two steps, sat on Russell’s small chair, and picked up his food. I took a bite out of the leftover biscuit, and was caught off guard by the sour grin. I looked at the packaging, and it turned out to be flavored with sour plums. God!When did he like to eat such sour things...

Sauter waited and waited until the artificial sky darkened and the hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.The long hours of high-intensity work made him a little sleepy, especially in such a comfortable environment, so Sauter went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into the otaku-style plaid pajamas, and lay down on the big bed alone.

"I'm back, waiting for you." Sauter sent a text message to Russell, but there was no reply for a long time.Maybe there is particle shielding on the channel, the signal is not good, he comforted himself in this way, and then fell asleep without knowing it.
