The male worm wants to be a variety show

Qiao Ruiqing opened Hillier's note immediately after the game to see what the mystery was.

"First, I know that you want to go to Desolate Star mainly because Quentin's worm also came to me. If you think about it, you will agree to his request. Second, there is a black market channel that provides secret airships or mechs. Leasing and document forgery services are relatively clean and reliable, and if it doesn’t take long, you should be able to hide without anyone noticing. The contact information is written on the back.”

The timing is perfect.There was still some time before the decisive victory in the mech competition female insect field, enough for Qiao Ruiqing to fight back and forth quietly.

He flipped the paper over, silently wrote down the contact information of the black market merchant, carefully crumpled the note into a ball and hid it.Then Qiao Ruiqing resumed his smile to deal with the remaining work after the game.

"Yes, yes, thanks to all my friends for their support. I also want to bring my blessings to those on the front line..." he said.As he said this, his heart kept revolving around the small piece of paper in his arms.

When he got home, Qiao Ruiqing obediently threw the note into the fire to destroy the corpse, then stared at the encrypted contact information he had copied and fell into thought.

He was well aware of the danger of returning to Desolate Star at such a time.The law and order of the desolate star is almost non-existent, and this is in wartime; he is still a star (it's shameless to say that), so there is no guarantee that he will not be threatened or hurt.When I gave a speech before the war last time, it was still possible to have an accident right under the nose of the empire, right?

but--

As Hillier guessed, he couldn't talk himself out of paying attention to Quentin's words.Desolate Star is the place that brings him the most happiness, he and Arnold...

here we go again.With big red hair like a horse's mane, he always grinned from ear to ear, with a nonchalant expression and always liked to pretend that he would not be in pain or tired.Qiao Ruiqing found that after so long, A Nuo's appearance became clearer in his heart.He thought again that he had seen Arnold's sad appearance——he made it himself.I don't know if Separation did anything to Arnold, but made himself even more strange.

When I think of Arnold, I run away.It's fine when I'm busy at ordinary times, and I can't avoid it when I think about Desolate Stars, like a lingering red ghost.Qiao Ruiqing sat there for a long time, still not making up her mind whether to contact the black businessman.

He looked around his empty house.When he came to the center, he was alone, and all he had was a worn-out backpack.After nearly a year of hard work, he has gained wealth and fame. The life of being an entertainment star is more exciting than being a small boss.But now he feels empty, and when he thinks about it carefully, he feels that if he wants to go, all he can bring is a backpack.

There is even one missing...

Hold on.

Qiao Ruiqing couldn't help but stood up and rummaged through the boxes, feeling that it would be more insect-like to mess up the house.

While flipping, he accidentally saw his small video camera.Although it has not been used for a long time, it still shows a level of liveliness when it is turned on.The camera floated around the set, nodded to Qiao Ruiqing decently, and brought him back to the time when he was filming "A Dream in a Day"——

Patrick, Brady and Gal, Qiao Ruiqing can still call their names.Don't know how they've been doing lately.

Jory rubbed over the small scuffs on the camera, which finally satisfied him, that he had actually been there.Recently, there have been a lot of compulsory promotional variety shows, and he almost forgot how he felt when he first came into contact with variety shows.

Want to actually do something.

The small flame that once supported and filled him ignited again, and an impulse rose from his chest, pushing him to send the first message to the black merchant.

Qiao Ruiqing swears that his own hands moved by themselves.

Forget it, even if every impulsiveness and madness in life is God's guidance.

In the message, Qiao Ruiqing was very careful not to reveal his identity, only saying that he was introduced by "His Excellency Hillier".The other party often makes this kind of transaction, without asking a single word, and will soon hand over the estimated plan.

"No price, [-] star coins. The deposit will be paid in person, and the balance will be paid at the end of the day. Okay?"

Either way, Qiao Ruiqing didn't have any other channels.I don't know how Hillier knew so many strange things.

"Don't worry about our work. Your Excellency Hillier often uses our services to quietly go to various planets to collect folk songs." The other party vowed.

... So Hillier spent all his money on this kind of place?

Packing your bags is a lot easier once you've hammered the deal down.It is still dry food, drinking water, changing clothes, and of course the indispensable restraint bracelet.This old wristband is actually behind the times, and its appearance and stability are not so good.But wearing it is like wearing a protective aura of Papa Richie.Thinking of this, Qiao Ruiqing put on the necklace left by Father Rich again, intending to go back and pay homage to his grave.

Qiao Ruiqing turned around and put the camera in his bag and took it away, maybe he could record half of his "hometown"?

He also ordered a set of mechs from a black merchant.Although this action is risky, it is not entirely impulsive.The success in the mecha competition gave Qiao Ruiqing a little confidence. As long as his identity is well hidden, even if he is in danger in the deserted star, can he not beat him or escape?

So everything is ready.

——Unfortunately, unexpectedly, the black market merchant who looked extremely professional and patted his chest to ensure that there was nothing wrong with him had a problem at a critical moment.

On the day it was time to leave, Qiao Ruiqing went to the meeting point as agreed.The road was winding and winding, and the path was full of potholes. He really admired how these worms could find such a harsh environment in the center.

The remoteness is also really remote, and it looks very safe.

Qiao Ruiqing left in fear.His chest seemed to be blocked by a cloud of air, and he took a deep breath unconsciously.At the same time he was uncontrollably excited, like a good kid trying to do something out of the ordinary for the first time.

In fact, he is not a traditional good boy.But this time it was indeed the first time he did something that he knew was dangerous, but he still wanted to die - and it was for such a seemingly childish reason.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Qiao Ruiqing's nervousness did not decrease but increased.At this moment, his terminal suddenly vibrated violently.

The buzzing of the terminal in this environment really startled him.Qiao Ruiqing picked up the terminal to look at it, and found that it was not a communication request, but a lot of short messages connected together.

It was actually a friend request, sent from Hillier.Qiao Ruiqing breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he was still on the blacklist, so Hillier could only contact him by verifying the news.

Qiao Ruiqing was puzzled. In fact, he now almost believed that Hillier was just joking too much (even if it wasn't, as long as he didn't mention "that" topic in the future), he didn't release him from the blacklist. Avoid suspicion, and the second is... simply forget.

It's probably only a matter of time before adding friends back, and Arnold's side will probably be soon... 啐.Anyway, Hillier has almost given up recently. What made him suddenly so excited?

Qiao Ruiqing clicked on the verification message, and was suddenly dazzled by the exclamation marks all over the screen.

"Come back!!! Damn it, the connector worm I gave you to the black merchant suddenly lost contact, I guess there is a worm with malicious intentions waiting for you!! Come back!!! God, did you see it! !!!”

The news was like a landmine, which caught Qiao Ruiqing off guard and made Qiao Ruiqing dizzy.He forced himself to calm down, walked quickly to the hiding place to hide himself, and then accepted Hillier's friend request.

He sent a message: "What's going on? Do you know what power the other party is from?"

Hillier replied immediately: "I don't know yet, nematodes are being investigated. I will tell you immediately if there is any new situation. Oh my god, are you okay? Where are you now? Don't run around and remember to hide, now the enemy is hiding I understand. Ahhh I kill myself, I won’t harm you!!”

Qiao Ruiqing smiled wryly, and said to herself that she was really not suitable for doing bad things.It's as bad luck as a good student who never cheats is caught cheating once.

While he was typing to reply to the message, Qiao Ruiqing heard footsteps in the distance.

He is now hiding behind a pile of rubbish by the roadside, with a half-collapsed hut behind him as cover.The high pile of debris completely blocked his body, but left a little gap for him to observe the outside situation.

The sound of footsteps came from the end of the path, with a steady rhythm and a clear voice. "Tap, tap, tap..." It's metallic, and it sounds calm.

For a moment, Qiao Ruiqing felt that the footsteps caught his heartbeat, or that his heart was at the same frequency as the unknown insect's footsteps.

"Tap, tap, tap..." Qiao Ruiqing heard the footsteps getting closer.On the phone, Hillier anxiously asked him why he didn't reply, but he really couldn't raise his hand to edit the message.

Couldn't be so unlucky, Qiao Ruiqing thought, he had already been caught once.

Thinking about it better, this time it is closer to the center, and some worms know their whereabouts.Rescue will also be easier.

But "Tap, tap, tap..." The steady frequency really occupied Qiao Ruiqing's mind.In fact, he wasn't particularly panicked, but he couldn't think of any way to break the situation.

In the best case, Qiao Ruiqing thought, this is just an innocent passerby, and when the bug passes by, he can hurry out and run back to the center.

Again, the opposite is the empire... When he finds out that he wants to sneak away, maybe he can only criticize education, but it won't cause any harm.

Everything else is dire enough.Qiao Ruiqing closed her eyes and prayed for herself.

"Tap, tap, tap..." The footsteps were close enough that he'd bet the bug was outside the pile of debris.

"Tap." Stopped.

Qiao Ruiqing held her breath, her heart pounding loudly.

"Dear Qiao Ruiqing, why are you hiding here? Get up quickly, you don't have the bearing of a big star, do you?" A voice sounded above Qiao Ruiqing's head, half-smiling, but still somewhat familiar.

sigmund.

It seems that the power to take down the black merchants comes from the empire.Maybe because he had prepared for the worst before, Qiao Ruiqing actually felt relaxed now.He opened his eyes and looked up, seeing Sigmund's delicately gloved hand stretched out in front of him.

This made Qiao Ruiqing feel a little embarrassed, why he was the only one with unkempt hair.He said thank you in embarrassment, and got up by himself without borrowing Sigmund's strength.

Sigmund was not annoyed either, he naturally withdrew his hand, and stood there leisurely waiting for Qiao Ruiqing to clean himself up.During this period, a group of soldiers trotted over, faintly forming a siege.

Qiao Ruiqing is convinced, isn't Sigmund a senior official of the empire?Why are you so idle every day just staring at your own whereabouts?He also condescended to chase him to such a corner in person.He made up his mind not to speak first, and looked at the ground acting like a bastard.

Or Sigmund opened his mouth first: "It seems that you already know the general situation? The Cooper-Hegren black market den has been uprooted by the empire. The lovely plan of you and your friends - I have to say, failed .”

"I sincerely hope that you can realize your recklessness," Sigmund looked at him with downcast eyes, and shook his head pityingly, "or is it that the last time you were in danger didn't frighten you? - Alas, my friend, I did it for your own good .”

"You like direct, don't you? Next, until the end of the war, the empire will no longer broadcast your private bug show with Mr. Hillier. Maybe this can calm your feverish mind a little bit? For the sake of the starless star gang You are mad that the pariah put the noble male at his own risk."

Fortunately, such consequences are within Qiao Ruiqing's acceptable range.It's nothing more than cutting off the source of income, and the star coins he has accumulated are enough for him to eat and drink.

It's a pity that he died before leaving the teacher, and it will only be more difficult to run to the deserted star.Qiao Ruiqing nodded, expressing that he had no objection to this handling, and only hoped to escape from this embarrassing scene as soon as possible, wherever he wanted.

But Sigmund didn't mean to let him go: "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you. I think I have a right to know what is driving you and Mr. Hillier at the same time - IMHO - crazy? "

It's not good to confess Quentin at this time, that poor female doesn't have the gold medal for avoiding death like he and Hillier.Qiao Ruiqing only said: "It's just that the recent situation of Desolate Star is not very good. I have feelings for it. You...you should know something about it."

guilty conscience.I had to be a worm with my tail between my legs.

After getting such an answer, Sigmund was not surprised, and even showed a confident smile: "I knew it. Quentin, right? Alas, it was also the negligence of the empire. It is so important to let such a dangerous alien on board. The official program. He must have had the cheek to find a lot of bugs to create such a momentum."

These words made Qiao Ruiqing, who is also a "heterogeneous", feel uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to speak up to defend Quentin.Or to ease his punishment a little.

Sigmund saw through what Qiao Ruiqing was thinking, and interrupted: "Do you still want to speak for him? I also told you directly that the impact of this Quentin incident is extremely bad, and discordant voices have begun to appear on the star network. Although The empire deleted the posts in a timely manner, but you also know that these voices will not disappear because of being banned."

"Then I have to say that what the empire should do is not to block the citizens' tongues, but to do something practical to solve the problem." Qiao Ruiqing was so angry that he couldn't help but fight back.He is just a small man, and he is always a little apprehensive in the face of officials, but he can't help but talk to Sigmund always without speculation.

Sigmund smiled instead of anger: "Yes, this means that the empire is going to do something practical. This also requires your participation."

Under Qiao Ruiqing's vigilant eyes, Sigmund said: "I remember I told you that you carry a big prophecy on your body, and you need to remember to make good use of it and use your influence to do something positive. Your current His actions have caused dissatisfaction in the empire, so please take care of yourself."

Qiao Ruiqing sneered: "What is a 'positive thing'? I think it is something that is beneficial to the empire."

"Exactly. I'm glad you finally realized this." Sigmund said happily, "Don't argue, be quiet."

Qiao Ruiqing gritted her teeth and stared, feeling a hundred foul words stuck in her heart.This kind of reaction made Sigmund laugh strangely, and the worm kept a reserved smile: "Very good. Now——because the negative comments spread by the female worm Quentin have already formed, some worms still need to make up for it. That's when you need to play your part."

"The day before yesterday, the Empire arranged for the insects to clean up your home planet. A safe and legal airship has been prepared for you, and professional military female guards have also been in place." He added emphasis on "legal" and "professional", "Please go to the Zorro galaxy to record a comprehensive promotional report, what should be said and what should not be said-I am worried that you will not understand, we have sorted it out and sent it to your terminal. Pay attention to check."

What!Is it telling him to lie for a photo, which is also called "do something practical"?Qiao Ruiqing saw clearly the shamelessness of the imperial politicians, and became dizzy with anger.

Qiao Ruiqing endured making a fake scripted competitive show.Step by step back, step by step, and now the gleaming knife has cut to his fingertips.Desolate star is the bottom line that he cannot step on.

"You do—" he was interrupted by Sigmund in the middle of his sentence: "I'm here to inform you. Do you still remember that this is a punishment? Or is it a redemption?"

here we go again.Qiao Ruiqing sneered and closed his mouth, sincerely feeling sorry for the Zerg who grew up in such an empire.

Sigmund only cared about the result, not whether Qiao Ruiqing was really obedient.He reached out his hand to stop Qiao Ruiqing, who was about to turn around and walk away, and said, "Wait a minute. If I'm not wrong, you have a video camera, right? Please give it to me, don't get me wrong, we just want to make sure nothing should not be recorded The screen that came down flowed out..."

Qiao Ruiqing suddenly unloaded his backpack and threw it to the ground, not wanting to waste his time talking.Immediately, a female attendant bent over and came up, carefully took out the camera and went to the side to check.His backpack was full, and as soon as the camera was taken out, a corner of the necklace that was originally placed in the corner was exposed, and the delicate thin chain was stained with floating dust on the ground.

The females had followed Sigmund in the first place, so of course they recognized the S-shaped emblem, and all of them were cautious not to touch it.No matter how angry Qiao Ruiqing was, she was unwilling to let Father Rich's belongings be thrown on the ground.But it was cool to shake the backpack just now, but now I squatted down to pick it up, and immediately lost all momentum.

The longer Qiao Ruiqing struggled, the longer the necklace lay on the ground.Instead, Sigmund couldn't hold his breath.

"...how did you have this necklace?" he said.

Papa Rich has a lot of face in his relationship, and he worries about the great Mr. Sigmund, who has a lot of things to do every day and has the world in mind.Qiao Ruiqing was even more angry, and even felt that it was an insult to Father Rich.Pooh.

"Please remember." He imitated Sigmund's tone and replied eccentrically.

"I'm not joking," Sigmund said, frowning. "Did this be sent to you by Richie? Very rude behavior, and no respect. Both to you and me."

Speaking of this, he sneered: "Please provide me with the specific address of Sinner Rich. In view of your current situation, I am very disappointed in the completion of his mission-he really betrayed me and the empire. Please tell me, Skynet is back Negligent, the empire will not let any criminal go unpunished."

The inside and outside of these words are also implying that Father Rich approached him because he was instigated by insects with ulterior motives.Qiao Ruiqing was finally able to finish what he had been holding in his throat for a long time: "You are dreaming!"

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the house without looking at Sigmund's reaction.

Isn't it the designated place, designated content and designated worms?Qiao Ruiqing still wanted to shoot her own show.Don't let him just be obedient this time.

rear barracks.

A Nuo was lying on his back on the crude examination bed, irritably chewing the grass roots pulled out anywhere outside the door. "Can I go!" After waiting for a while, he couldn't help shouting.

The military medical team was anxiously arguing outside the door with a discussion sheet. Hearing Arno’s yell, the leader of the worm responded: “Be safe, Major Arno. There will be a result soon.”

Yes, Major.Arnold's style is fierce and direct, and he has made new achievements a few days ago, and his promotion speed is as fast as if he was promoted.Even some generals and officers were full of praise for this new star on the battlefield: "Young bug, aggressive, bold and cautious, invincible." The orcs also began to spread his nickname of "mad dog".

The newly promoted school officer, who was in the limelight, was injured in the latest battle - it was a blessing from the injury that helped him to be promoted in one fell swoop - and is currently recuperating in the rear hospital for treatment.

To be honest, his injury was not serious to the Zerg at all, and Arnold was a breath of fresh air among a group of injured patients with missing arms and legs.

He was also tired of staying in the hospital, clamoring every day to go back to the front line.He said that he couldn't help but be loyal to the country, but all he wanted in his heart was to get promoted as soon as possible.Faster, faster, he thinks every day.

The reason why the military doctors held him back was not because of his injuries, but because of his mental state.A group of military doctors sighed and sighed around a report card of "severe war anxiety and severe emotional anxiety".

In the end, the mentor who recommended Arnold felt sorry for the general, and made the final decision: "Arnold boy, let's rest for a while, the high-intensity continuous battle is heartbreaking."

"Report to the counselor, I'm fine." Arnold stubbornly challenged.

The instructor ignored all the materials and took out a piece of paper: "You have to rest if you don't stop. But all insects have feelings, and there is no way to be a steel weapon forever. The world is not without you." Don’t turn! I’m up to you, ah.”

"I--"

"Here is a mission indicator. It is the job of escorting the male worm. It is relatively less stressful, and - you understand it. And the merits are also given generously, so you can treat it as a paid vacation."

"I--"

"What are you, obedient, sign here. I will arrange a quota for you."

"...Oh." Arnold rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

So Qiao Ruiqing, who was still plotting to do something in the center, didn't expect that there would be a puppy hidden among the bugs he was trying to deal with.And Arnold could not have imagined that the worm he had been thinking about would meet again because of a "paid vacation" that he thought was a waste of time.

Like a joke of fate, but undoubtedly the best arrangement.
