[Rebirth] Alien Royalty

Chapter 51

Cecil just came back the day Lu Xiao woke up, and Xia Zuo and Tania came back with him.At present, five members of the mercenary regiment are excluded from the flight plane, and there are [-] people including Lu Xiao himself.Ten of them were researchers who had stayed at the headquarters of the experimental base, four were from Base No. [-], and the remaining three were Lu Xiao, Arnold and Sami.

The pitifully small number of people also shocked Lu Xiao.

Although Arnold and the others estimated that dozens of people were taken away, after all, the total number of people in the base could have been several hundred, and now there are only less than a hundred people left. People feel heavy.

After Lu Xiao could get out of bed and walk, he followed Sammy and the others to a small cafeteria here for three meals a day. Most of the food they ate was mush like food packs. Occasionally, Arnold would make special ones for Lu Xiao. The fried rice with eggs made other people envious and curious.Lu Xiao himself is not in the mood to cook right now.

When seeing Lu Xiao, the ten researchers and the four survivors from Base No. [-] did not show any resistance to him.Although the four people in the No. [-] base did not greet him specifically, when everyone gathered to discuss things, if Lu Xiao said something, they would occasionally respond to him. Generally speaking, the atmosphere was so good that Lu Xiao dared not Imagination also made him feel that there is a greater possibility of staying in this base.

——It was rare that Arnold's attitude was so casual, it was indeed a good opportunity to leave, but the more he thought about it, the more Lu Xiao felt that to accomplish his goal, it would be best if he could attach himself to a mature "organization". And at the beginning, he also planned to find a way to contact Black Hawk and the others after leaving the base.

And after getting along with them for a day or two, Lu Xiao finally realized what Cecil did not pester him before, but left to "handle things"——

Arnold installed a tracker on the enemy fighter plane on the way back to the No. [-] base to rescue Lu Xiao and Sami, and soon after returning to the flying plane, he contacted the Black Hawk to let them track the signal.

The few people Black Hawk and the others sent followed the signal and indeed tracked down the target—it was also a flying machine, but it was at least five times the size of their flying machine, and it was closely connected in the form of five spire-like metal buildings connected two by two. Together, based on the judgment of the mercenary group, I am afraid that these five spiers can be disconnected and form five independent flying machines.

Because the opponent's power is really huge, it is impossible for the mercenary group to rush in rashly.After lurking in the surrounding star field for a period of time, they noticed that a single aircraft had left the aircraft, and at the same time the signal in their hands disappeared, and the huge aircraft also jumped away—the aircraft was different from the aircraft, most of them were driven by Designed to jump long distances, it's hard to track down once it's gone.Although the aircraft of this group of enemies can also perform long-distance space jumps, this method of jumping has restrictions on the number of times and intervals for the aircraft, which cannot be broken through by current technology, so even if a long-distance space jump is performed, The mercenary group is still sure that they can track it down again.What's more, they launched another tracker to that aircraft, which has not been discovered by the other party so far, so they are closely following the other party.

Then came the problem.

"Why do we do this kind of thing? What does that group of people have to do with me!" Cecil said, "I had people follow them because we were still in an employment relationship at that time. If Arnold asked me to follow, I would let people follow them." , but now this guy himself said that he would terminate my employment relationship with me, why should I follow those guys of unknown origin!"

On the same long table, there was a calm red-haired Xia Zuo between Tania and him.Holding the water glass tightly, the girl said coldly, "Anyway, I won't let them go. Lalo and the others can't leave their current tracking position until someone takes over."

"You're the boss and I'm the boss?" Cecil's eyes widened. "In the end, it's easy to tell that your mother is not a test subject. She can't be among those who were taken away!"

"Don't I know about this kind of thing?!" Tania said gloomyly, "That's why I want to avenge my mother!"

"Oh, let's talk about revenge now? I thought your attitude towards your mother was the same as before." Cecil sarcastically said.

Tania's face became ugly.

Listening to what they said, Lu Xiao also felt a little headache for a while.

He also saw Tania not looking at Erlin before being taken away by Cecil and the others, but there were so many things that happened at that time, there was no way for the atmosphere between mother and daughter to become like that.But Tanya didn't expect that it would be the last time between her and her mother after all.Cecil is really too rude to talk to a child.

Tania pushed hard, and the plastic water cup in her hand was crushed and deformed by her—during the time she was taken away by Cecil and the others, she had already undergone Bazel's potion modification twice.

"No matter what you say, I will not let those people go," the girl said slowly, "I want to avenge my mother, if you want to go, go, I want to stay. Uncle Arnold, we should be able to Continue to track that aircraft?"

Hearing the quarrel between Cecil and Tania, Sammy's expression changed several times while sitting next to Lu Xiao, and he couldn't help but look up at Arnold after hearing this.Lu Xiao noticed his expression and realized that he probably wanted to avenge Liv as well.

Lu Xiao could understand.Although there were no relatives of him in that base, the deaths of Levi and the others made it difficult for him not to investigate the origins of those people.He wanted to know the identity of those people, and he also wanted to avenge Levi.

Hearing this, Arnold smiled and said simply: "Well, after the employment relationship with Black Hawk is terminated, we will send someone to take over with them."

The ten researchers and the four people in the No. [-] base are very firm about this.

"Tanya, your mother handed you over to us." Xia Zuo finally spoke.

"And that organization is so powerful that we alone cannot move them." Another Black Hawk member spoke.

"I want to take revenge on the people who organized and planned all this, not those miscellaneous soldiers." Tania said.

"You know that going against such an organization is likely to kill you?" Cecil raised his eyebrows.

"I have to avenge my mother even if I die." Tania said decisively.

"Boss, forget it, put Tania here," the other two members of Black Hawk looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's about time for us to pick up another job."

Cecil let out a long breath, put his hand on his chin and narrowed his eyes to look at the girl for a while, then made eye contact with Xia Zuo who was sitting beside him for a while, and finally caught a glimpse of the blond man.

Lu Xiao didn't know what the man meant by looking at him at this time, but after that, the table meeting broke up.

Lu Xiao asked Fei Qi to take him to the computer room.

The communicator that is going to be assigned to Lu Xiao is still being made, and Lu Xiao can only use a computer if he wants to surf the Internet for the time being.

Fortunately, the computer here is not too much beyond his imagination. Although it is a holographic projection screen, but knowing the power button and having a keyboard, everything is easy to talk about.

Lu Xiao opened a search engine on his own, and searched for the information he was looking for one by one.

It was impossible to get news from the outside world because I couldn't help myself in the base before.After such a month or two, there are still many unclear things in his mind, and he needs to find out one by one.

The first is the royal family of the Shmya Empire.For example, other than Bazel, the seventh prince, there are other princes and princesses.

All of this is written in great detail in the Interstellar Encyclopedia, Lu Xiao read it carefully and remembered it in his mind.

Rufas has a queen and a concubine, and seven children.In other words, Bazel happened to be the youngest one, and he was born to the imperial concubine.And this imperial concubine has several other children, except for the eldest prince and the third imperial daughter, the others are all born to the imperial concubine.

Lu Xiao, who grew up in a society where "both parents can only have a second child if they are both only children", feels a bit messy about this, but when he thinks that Rufas is an emperor, he feels... understandable?

Lu Xiao gave up worrying about this matter and went to investigate the next one.

At the beginning, Bazel mentioned to him that there was a person in the interstellar society who was sucked in by the space-time vortex before him and came out again. So, is that person also dead?

After a search on the search engine, the results were as expected by Lu Xiao.

That person's name is Chad Fissman, and his birthplace, date of birth, and some early experiences are clearly written on the Interplanetary Encyclopedia.This person was sucked into the space-time vortex 22 years ago, and then came out of the same place a year later, and died two years later.

Lu Xiao looked at the Interplanetary Encyclopedia, frowned and thought.

This man named Chad is indeed dead, although he lived for two years after coming out of the space-time vortex... As far as Chad and Bazel's situation is concerned, no matter whether it is a man-made time-space gate or a naturally formed space-time vortex ——No matter what means they used, they didn't seem to be affected after their first time travel.Will die, all because of the second time travel.

That is to say, if he wants to use Rufas' "ship" to return to the earth at that time, it will only be the first shuttle, so there should be no danger to his life, right?

Suddenly, a shadow covered it.

Lu Xiao turned around and met Arnold's gaze.The man smiled at him, and his eyes moved to the holographic screen, and the green eyes flickered.

"Chad Fissman," Arnold read the man's name softly in a cool voice, "ah, so he died after that?" He raised his eyebrows.

"You know him?"

"I just heard about it before, not to the point where I even know the date of his death." Arnold sat next to Lu Xiao.

"..." Lu Xiao looked at him, wondering what to ask.

Arnold's words sounded nothing on the surface, but Lu Xiao always felt that the other party knew something else.

Arnold also sat sideways to respond to his gaze, and said with a smile, "Want to ask a question?"

Lu Xiao nodded.

Arnold stared at Lu Xiao for a moment, and asked bluntly: "Actually, you know about the 'space-time element'?"

Lu Xiao was a little taken aback.

How did Arnold know about the "Spacetime Elements"?

It couldn't be that Bazel told him - when Bazel was in control of his body, Lu Xiao looked at his memory.At that time, although he didn't know all the thoughts in Bazel's mind, Lu Xiao still had a general feeling - when he saw the report in the hands of Rufas' researcher, Bazel knew for the first time that "time and space" Element" such a thing!Even Rufas probably only got the information about the "Space-Time Element" two years ago!

The outside world knows nothing about the "space-time element". Arnold has been in the base all the time, so there is no reason why he would get information about the "space-time element"!

Lu Xiao was puzzled, and Arnold continued: "You must really want to ask me how I know about the 'space-time element', I also want to ask you this question, but I guess you should be from Bazel's memory What did you find?"

"..." Lu Xiao wanted to clarify this matter—relationship with Arnold's reaction when he saw Chad's information just now, Lu Xiao felt that this man must know more, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Arnold, you said you Will help me, I also want to ask you for help, but I can't tell you everything for the time being."

Arnold smiled and said, "Then come a little bit?"

"Before I say anything, I still want to ask you—why do you want to help me? I said that my purpose is to return to Earth, but helping me return to Earth is of no benefit to you, right?"

"Hmm, is this a problem?" Arnold paused, and said slowly, "On the one hand, it's because I have nothing else to do, which means I'm free, and on the other hand... Lu Xiao, if there is such a One day, I intend to go to Earth with you."

Arnold's answer really surprised Lu Xiao.

"You want to go to the earth?" Lu Xiao's brain was wide open, and he said awkwardly, "You are not paying attention to the earth, are you?"

Arnold was taken aback, then laughed out loud, jokingly said: "Do you think I want to occupy the earth? Do you think I will say to a group of earthlings, 'You are surrounded by me'?"

Lu Xiao: "..."

"I'm just curious about the earth. Although the level of science and technology there is not high, you people on earth probably haven't seen the real appearance of the universe, but it's not bad, isn't it?" Arnold said softly, holding his chin, "I think It’s nice to be able to live in a place like that.”

So is Arnold planning to treat the earth as a "Xanadu"?This guy still has such an idea?Lu Xiao changed his mind about Arnold again.

"So, how is it? Are you satisfied with this reason?" Arnold said with a smile.

"...Let's get down to business." Lu Xiao cleared his throat.

He still didn't intend to tell Arnold that Rufas and Bazel had experienced two time travels, so at the beginning, he only explained why he would know the "time and space element".

"I did discover Bazel's memory about the 'Space-Time Element' by accident. However, Bazel got the information that it happened before his aircraft crashed at Base No. [-]," Lu Xiao added after a pause. , "I still don't remember the rest."

Arnold didn't pursue the sentence he added, saying: "You have a way to find the earth, but whether the earth is in a parallel world or not, you need the 'space-time element' to reach the time point you want to go. That is to say, you have to return to the earth If so, the 'space-time element' is a must."

Regarding this point, he thought of it when Lu Xiao told him that he wanted to go back to Earth a few days ago, and he confirmed this idea when he saw Lu Xiao looking for Chad's information just now.

"But do you know how to use the 'Space-Time Element'?" Arnold asked, "It's not that you can open the space-time vortex after you get that thing."

"I know that." Lu Xiao frowned.

"So you know how to use it, but you can't tell me right now?" Arnold understood Lu Xiao's meaning.

Lu Xiao nodded, and quickly said "Sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I said we can do it bit by bit. I'm still curious about your superpower."

Lu Xiao thought about it, and told Arnold about the Rabbit God, avoiding the process of Bazel being arrested by Rufas for the experiment, and only said that the Rabbit God suddenly came out to greet him one day.

Arnold looked surprised.

Although he knew that Bazel would not modify his body casually, he never thought that the origin of that creature would be so mysterious.

Lu Xiao bit the bullet and turned into a rabbit. After being played with by Arnold for a long time, he touched and poked, and finally turned back into a human form, and hurriedly put on clothes for himself in embarrassment.

After studying Lu Xiao's deformed body, Arnold satisfied his curiosity.

After that, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Lu Xiao, do you know what I've been looking for all this time?"

"...Secret base? Or the person in the coffin?" Lu Xiao asked hesitantly.In order to escape that time, he didn't bother to pay attention to the person in the coffin, so he didn't know the identity of the dead person.

But those...are Arnold's secrets...

Lu Xiao swallowed, feeling that what Arnold was going to say next would far exceed his expectations.

And the fact is exactly as he expected.

Next, Arnold was very calm and said many things without haste.

Including Hein, Hein's father, the memory transplanted to Arnold by Bazel...

The two were originally exchanging information, but compared to Lu Xiao's concealment, Arnold's candor was beyond Lu Xiao's imagination.

Arnold reacts when he sees the date of Chad's death because Austin found him two years after Chad came out of the space-time vortex.Austin didn't seem to have seen Chad after that, and the latter disappeared again.I don’t know when Chad’s death date was added to the Star Encyclopedia. Anyway, it seems that Chad passed away not long after meeting Austin.

Hearing the back, Lu Xiao interrupted Arnold.

"Wait! You—are you sure it's okay to tell me this?!" Lu Xiao couldn't believe it, and stood up excitedly, "Although you are not Hein, but if you have all the memories of Hein..."

Although Lu Xiao is not Arnold, I don't know what Arnold feels like, but if there is a complete memory in his mind, no matter how rational a person is, there is no way to completely put aside the person in the memory and himself!

"What?" Arnold asked back.

Lu Xiao was taken aback.

Arnold looked up at him, with a smile on his lips: "Although I don't know what you are struggling with, but I don't regard Austin as my father, and I don't think it will be helpful to use Hein's memory to find the 'space-time element'." What's the problem. Even if we don't look for it, someone else must be looking for it. Since you want to return to Earth, why don't you seize this opportunity?"

Lu Xiao sat down again, his brows still furrowed.

"What's more, if possible, I really want to meet Austin." Arnold said frankly.

Lu Xiao looked at him.

"So, you can make good use of me. But in return, wait until the day you can go home, and take me back, right?"

Arnold's smile made Lu Xiao shake for a moment.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Silence, but the atmosphere is not stiff, it should be said that it has become more subtle than usual?

He felt that the relationship between him and Arnold had become so strange, but to be honest, after knowing about Hein, he was really relieved.

The existence of Arnold relieved him a lot of burden. It should be said that because of this man in front of him, he clearly felt that he was one step closer to going home.

Lu Xiao lowered his head, scratched the back of his head, and whispered: "...you told me everything, I still have something to hide from you, I'm really sorry."

"I don't mind," Arnold looked at the lovely curls on the blond man's head, and the soft blond hair hanging slightly on his forehead, "I'm waiting for the day when you trust me completely."
