[Rebirth] Alien Royalty

Chapter 40

Carl fell.

After one night, the skin of the boy with weak breath had become rough, withered and yellow, and his face was covered with wrinkles.

"There are some problems with his internal organs." Roland checked the boy and went to the living room. "Everything is in decline."

Brandy adjusted his glasses and looked at the man beside him: "I can do today's work for you."

Arnold stood up straight, patted Brandy on the back, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Then I will trouble you, Brandy." After speaking, he walked into the room.

"Then I'll go to Arnold's office first, and you can contact me at any time if you have any situation." Brandy said to Roland.

Roland nodded.

When there were only two women left in the living room, Roland finished packing up the medical equipment he had brought, straightened up and looked at Luna: "Aren't you going in?"

Luna was always leaning against the wall, her eyes not looking in the direction of the room, as if she was just in a daze.Hearing this, she opened her mouth and said softly, "Karl doesn't like me, I think I should stop appearing in front of him before he leaves."

Roland looked at her for a few seconds, turned his head, and said lightly: "You decide for yourself, but time is precious."

When she went to open the door, Luna stopped her.

"Roland, what do you think of Bazel?"

"Bazel?" Roland turned sideways, without any fluctuations in his tone, "I don't have any opinion of him."

"Didn't he kill your mother?"

"That's right, but that was a long time ago." Roland paused and said, "I will do things according to Arnold's ideas. As far as I am concerned, the task Arnold assigned to me does not allow me to do anything to Baze. I carry any hatred, so I don't have any opinion of him right now."

"..." Luna was silent for a moment, then whispered, "But if..."

"what?"

"No... nothing..."

Roland looked at Luna for a few seconds and said, "Then I'm leaving." Then he turned and left.

Luna stood where she was, her head bowed.

But what if Arnold didn't send those missions for the base?

Arnold doesn't love the place as much as they do.

Thinking back to the brunette's attitude every time they brought up the subject in the past, it became increasingly difficult for Luna to ignore every detail she had noticed.

Thinking about it now, Arnold said that he wanted to know some things when he stayed with Bazel. I am afraid that those things are only related to him personally.

But no one knew what Arnold wanted. If he said it clearly, everyone could think of a way for him together, but Arnold never thought of asking them for help.

That was the man's personal secret.

No, it should be said that it was a secret between Arnold and Bazel, and it had nothing to do with everyone else.

The nails were almost embedded in the flesh.

Luna loosened her teeth, there was a trace of pain on her lips, and a faint smell of blood filled her mouth.

Her thinking was not wrong, her feelings were right all along.

Bazel can no longer be left here, it should be said that Bazel can no longer live in this world.

He has trampled on many lives and done many irreparable wrong things.

There can be no more "Karl".

When Bazel returned to this base in the first place, they should have killed him!

Luna's face darkened.

She got up and left the place.

***

Lu Xiao stayed in Arnold's room until late the night before, and when he returned to the office, he didn't have the energy to do perception, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I felt that my spirit hadn't recovered, and I was still very tired.

The rabbit let him rest for two days, otherwise he would get sick.Lu Xiao was really struggling, so he went back to the office and lay down on the sofa during his lunch break.

After chatting with Arnold yesterday, he always felt that he saw a little side of Arnold hidden under the smiling mask.

Although I feel that Arnold is a bit cold-blooded, but it is expected.Come to think of it, growing up in this environment, no one would have normal feelings.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiao fell asleep.

He had asked the rabbit to wake him up an hour later, and the rabbit did, but the tone was not quite right.

He opened his eyes, and a shadow appeared beside the sofa, standing there silently.

Lu Xiao was startled, sat up suddenly and looked up, meeting Luna's emotionless eyes.

"...Why are you here?" Lu Xiao glanced at the wide open door and asked.

Luna looked down at him, expressionless.

Lu Xiao felt a little weird.

Every time Luna saw him, she made no secret of her disgust, either with a cold face or an angry face, and it was the first time she looked at him so expressionlessly.

Lu Xiao's heart was not good, and his sense of crisis made him gather his strength immediately.There were only the two of them in the room, but only Lu Xiao knew that there was an invisible thorn formed by the condensed and deformed body of power lying between him and Luna at this time.

Luna stretched out her hand suddenly, supported the wall with a "snap", confining Lu Xiao in this narrow range, her eyes fixed on him.

Lu Xiao's breathing trembled, and he even recovered a little bit of strength, and sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

"What do you mean by your eyes?" Luna raised her chin, half of her face was hidden in the shadow, full of hostility, "Did you use these eyes to confuse them?"

"What on earth are you here for!" Lu Xiaoyang raised his voice.

"Heh, can't you guess?" Luna continued to lean forward, and her chest was getting closer and closer to the invisible tip as she said through gritted teeth, "Karl is about to die, if he can't be A person lives well, so don’t create him from the beginning, you always play with other people’s lives like this, Karl’s changes make you think it’s very interesting!”

Lu Xiao's whole body was tense to the extreme.

"I never thought of it that way!"

"No matter how much you pretend to be in front of me, it will be futile!"

Lu Xiao kept recycling the spikes, recycling them, and at the same time making the front end gradually round and less sharp.

His brain has been bombarded into chaos by Luna's words, he wanted to grit his teeth to stay calm, but his nerves collapsed into a thread.

After Luna yelled, she paused for a second, and smiled coldly: "You really pretended to be thorough, and you have resisted not doing anything to me until now, because the thing on your left wrist restrains your actions!"

"But Roland must have forgotten to tell you that someone with authority can remotely control the automatic alarm on your hand."

When these words landed, it was already too late for Lu Xiao to launch an attack.

"……Uh!"

His pupils constricted for a moment, and his whole body trembled stiffly for a few seconds before he collapsed.

Luna took a breath, and after two seconds, she squatted down expressionlessly, adjusted her communicator, and attached her communicator to the automatic alarm on the left hand of the blond man.

With a "click", the alarm automatically opens.

Luna took off the siren from his hand and put it on the sofa.After a pause, she got up again, and deliberately put the alarm in the first drawer of the desk.After finishing this, she picked up the blanket on the sofa and covered the man's body, held the man on her shoulders, checked the situation outside the door, closed the door and ran out quickly.

***

Brandy sat behind the desk in the office on the top floor of the central building. After sorting out a pile of things on the desk, he habitually turned on the holographic screen on the communicator and glanced at the position of the little red dot on it.

Still in the office.

Brandy glanced at the clock on the wall.

That man is really lazy.

He thought to himself, turned off the holographic screen, and continued the work at hand.

Arnold sat quietly on the edge of the bed, watching the boy on the bed.

The big black dog also sat beside him, looking at Karl motionlessly.

The boy's body became thinner.

The originally plump, white and tender cheeks full of childishness sank.On the chest, even the ribs became clear.

Arnold recalled what the blond man said to him the night before, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and gently touched the boy's hair.

It was obviously not the first time to touch the boy's head, but I always felt a little different.

brother...

Arnold stroked the boy's hair gently.

From noon to evening, Carl's eyelashes fluttered and his eyes slowly opened.

The eyes of the two met, Carl showed a smile, and his voice was hoarse like an old man: "Brother..."

He looked at the big black dog next to Arnold again: "Furry..."

The big black dog leaned over, licked the boy's face, and whimpered softly.

"Brother, I'm getting older than you..." Carl said with a smile.

Arnold was slightly taken aback, and then laughed: "Well, yes."

"There are paintings like this in the album Fitch showed me, but it's so strange..." Carl said slowly, "It will take at least a few decades for a child to become an old man..."

"..."

"Is my brother different from me?" Carl asked.

"..."

"But brother and I aren't brothers?"

Arnold's hand stopped.

Carl watched him, and so did the big black dog.

The room became extremely quiet.

Carl's eyes were emerald green.While his appearance was getting old, those eyes never changed, they were so clear and stared at him so seriously.

Arnold was silent and did not answer for a while.

"elder brother?"

"Why do you ask that?" Arnold asked with a smile.

Karl also smiled slightly: "I just want to hear my brother say it again..."

Arnold opened his mouth, wanting to answer as before, but no sound came out.

He saw his own shadow in Carl's eyes.This wasn't the first time he saw himself like this, it was just that he would look away every time before.

Just like what he said to Lu Xiao last night, he knew what the people around him wanted to hear, and it was impossible for him to tell those who expected too much of him what he really thought.

For example, Karl is nothing more than the same group of awakened experimental subjects to him, and he did not bring Karl back to "have a younger brother". He doesn't care about the glass tube either.

For example, the other experimental subjects in this base were just released by him at the beginning, and the rescue of the group of exiled slaves a year ago was entirely on his whim.

He doesn't have much emotion, and to be honest, whether the base is really destroyed has nothing to do with him.Lu Xiao was right, he didn't have any other home except this base, but he never had a sense of belonging to this base.

Is his affection so weak?

Last night's conversation made Arnold aware of this problem for the first time in his life.

And at this moment, is it really necessary for him to lie in front of this dying boy?for what?

It has become his habit to say what the people around him want to hear, and to do what the people around them want to see, because only such people will be regarded as objects of respect by the people here.Becoming "Arnold the Savior" according to those people's wishes can save him a lot of trouble, and it can also make those people obey him obediently.

Such a day will become comfortable and comfortable, and anyone will choose such a living environment.

So even though his inner feelings have not risen to the same level as those around him, he tried his best to do so on the surface.When Luna asked him those questions, he also thought, as long as this continues, will his feelings be synchronized with other people here one day?

The moment this thought came to mind, Arnold opened his eyes slightly.

...so he's been trying to fit in here?

Even if the progress is very slow, he is trying to do things that he has never experienced.

……

The question he had been pondering for a long time finally had an answer, and the answer surprised Arnold himself.

The boy was always waiting for his answer.

The eyes are gentle and serious.

The hand that had been stagnant for a long time started to move again. Arnold rubbed the top of the boy's hair and said softly: "... Well, we are a family, although the genes are a little different."

The boy smiled happily, but soon coughed again.

Coughing badly this time, Arnold lifted him up and patted him on the back.

"Unfortunately," Carl gasped, "I still don't remember anything. I only remember what happened after waking up, and before that... nothing."

Arnold paused, let the boy lean into his arms, patted his back, and said, "Then don't think about it."

"Does my brother have any memories before he woke up?"

"...Yeah, even though I don't fully remember it, I recalled some scenes," Arnold looked forward and said slowly, "That was my memory before I became 'Arnold'."

***

"Lu Xiao! Lu Xiao! Wake up!"

Lu Xiao's head hurt, and a voice came from his ear.

Suddenly, receiving a heavy blow to his chest, Lu Xiao suddenly turned over and curled up, moaning, "What are you doing..."

"What are you doing! Look where you have been taken!"

Shocked, Lu Xiao got up and looked around.

It was pitch black, and not far away was a door.

"Didn't you come to the conscious world again?" Lu Xiao sat up and rubbed his forehead, "Fortunately, he didn't fall behind the door... What are you in a hurry for?"

The rabbit "swiped" and turned into a big man, grabbed his shoulders and shook violently: "I mean you were sent to another planet in reality, idiot!"

Lu Xiao was taken aback, looked at the man for a few seconds, and quickly closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again.

For a moment he thought he had returned to the moment when he was reborn on Bazel.

His body was wrapped in a set of heavy protective clothing, and in front of him was a glass cover.

Outside the glass cover is a silver-white world.

He is leaning on a sand dune.

Lu Xiao froze for a moment, stood up, turned around and took a step back, staring at the small sand dune in front of him.

On the ground in front of the dunes are clearly engraved several Shmiya characters.

That's a person's name.

……what's going on?

Wouldn't it be what he thought?

Lu Xiao looked into the distance in bewilderment.

There are many more of the same sand dunes, rising irregularly on the surface of this barren planet.

...Are these all graves? !
