Chapter 43

Qi Mu nodded, no matter where the general interstellar course is, this matter will be discussed. Twenty years ago, the safety system equipped by interstellar spacecraft was not comprehensive, and most of the focus was on avoiding distress. After all, space navigation, outboard The low temperature and lack of oxygen make it almost impossible to survive if something goes wrong.

Twenty years ago, the Gamma Starfield also adhered to this concept. Escape capsules only appeared in military spacecrafts. Due to their high cost, few spacecrafts were willing to afford them.

At that time, an unmanned spacecraft transporting military weapons malfunctioned, instantly affecting the spacecraft passing by in space. The spacecraft fell into a series of explosions, killing all 2,000 people on board.

Only ten of the passengers died of convulsions on the spot due to underlying diseases, and most of them died from radiation and hypothermia.

A small number of people jumped out of the spacecraft wearing space suits, and most of them died due to hypothermia and lack of oxygen.

The only three survivors were among these people who bravely escaped. It was incredible to survive in such an environment.

The bad thing about this accident is that the spacecraft had already entered the parking procedure at the time. After five minutes at most, the passengers on the spacecraft could see the gorgeous sunset on the target planet and enjoy the night with their loved ones.

Even with the lowest-end escape cabin, at such a distance, it can guarantee a survival rate of more than 90%.

After this incident, public opinion was overwhelming. The so-called absolutely safe route set a record number of deaths, and the imperial voyage was greatly affected.

In order to restore the dishonest image, all civilian passenger ships are required to be equipped with escape cabins, regardless of specifications, as long as sufficient oxygen and nutrient solution are ensured.

Feng Xi was expressionless, "My parents were among the dead. I was also on the boat at the time. We put on protective suits together, but were blown away by the violent explosion. I survived, but my parents were missing and have not been found until now. Corpse."

Until his death, his grandfather had the illusion that he could come back and that his parents could also come back.

It's a pity that if there were no what-ifs, the original accident was most likely directed at them. The executioner will never think about how innocent the passengers on the ship are, and will only be happy about the benefits he gets.

A few years later, he could only use roundabout accusations to bring the apparent culprit to justice.

"At that time, I was in a coma due to lack of oxygen and woke up on a normal spacecraft. I thought it was a rescue and wanted to find my parents, but I found that I was injected with anesthesia, and the crew talked unabashedly about what a good experiment they had picked up. If you bring them over, you will definitely get a sky-high bounty."

"Later, I escaped while they landed to replenish energy, and lived in a nearby slum for a long time." Feng Xi frowned briefly as he recalled the disgusted people. "There, I met the first person who helped me."

"That was a ten-year-old child, about the same age as me."

"I hid with him for a long time. He was a nice person, but he was poor. Even the spaceship Not only was I not afraid of those mercenaries, but I would also secretly go to see the spaceship. At first, I could get the progress of the recent search from him so that I could hide in a different place. I waited until those people became impatient and I promised him to leave. Take his family to the central star."

But then Feng Xi was taken to Y83. Qi Mu could probably guess the result. The sky-high reward promised by the stranger was not as good as the tangible reward in front of him.

"You can also guess that when he last met me, he said that his father was sick, so he wanted to go to Central Star, but he had recently found a doctor to reassure me. I realized something was wrong, but I didn't have time to run. After being knocked unconscious and taken back, I couldn't see the route again, and I don't know which planets they passed by."

The atmosphere was too depressing. Feng Xi paused for a while and asked now, "Do you think I will take revenge? Go back? No, I did send someone to find the child later.

When I returned to the central star, he already had his own child. The money the mercenaries gave him was only a few hundred thousand. He spent a little more to cure his father. He did buy a terminal as I suggested, but he didn't use it to study. He bought a lot of things, but he never knew what he really needed. "

He didn't know that his father had a genetic disease, even if he didn't inherit it. The child will also inherit, so I think he is alive and well, and I am very happy. Sure enough, ten years ago, his first child died, and he was even poorer. The planet was a mineral star, and he didn't even have a spaceship. He couldn't even save the money for the ticket, but he began to dream about meeting his childhood friends again, relying on kindness."

Seeing Qi Mu hesitate to speak, Feng Xi sipped his saliva, "Did you realize that I'm not as good as I thought? I am a very carefree person, and I am considered to have no father or mother. No one can control what I want to do."

Qi Mu shook his head, "If it were me, I would retaliate in kind. You just watch him follow his original fate. You are very kind. "

How can I be kind? I feel happy because of other people's pain." Feng Xi said, "I went through several research institutes, and you know what happened next." Let me tell you what you don’t remember.”

“At that time, your mental disorder was serious, and the research institute saw that you had no research value. It wanted to complete the final experiment and record the most extreme data. Your level was high, and you had to go through the final test. An experiment is very bloody, and it is almost impossible to survive. We discussed it and made a plan, but you were temporarily called away that day. We separated first, and you went to verify it, and we split up after it was over

. I've been waiting for you all day, until the research institute suddenly alerted me and said that you ran away. I wanted to run away too, but there was a difficult robot on the route we chose. According to the plan, it was your job to deal with it. I couldn't defeat it. I was taken back.

I tried to find loopholes every day, but I didn't wait for you."

Feng Xi pinched Qi Mu's fingers, "So where did you go?"

He really thought S01 was dead before. It was impossible to leave him alone.

Qi Mu wanted to say more, but his memory was too barren. In his memory, the life in the institute came to an abrupt end, and there were almost no memories of the second half. Compared with the vague last experience, there was one thing he cared more about, "So how did you become a guide? What do they think about it?" Have you done experiments? "

"You are stupid. How could you not be subjected to experiments in a place like that? There were no experiments at the beginning because my mental domain dissolved and I became an ordinary person. I needed to be in a stable state. Later... etc. I'll tell you when you remember it. "It's not a meaningful memory anyway.

Lying on the bed, Feng Xi stared at the terminal in a daze. After washing, the sentry came next to him again.

The bed was quite big, and his arms were pressed down, so he closed his eyes and asked back, "Even if the conditions were poor before, you still want to squeeze me now?"

Qi Mu raised his eyes alertly, "What do you mean, aren't you not angry anymore? Are you still? Do you want to drive me away?"

A smile escaped from Feng Xi's lips. He made room for Qi Mu. The terminal automatically connected to the local network and projected the video. Qi Mu came to squeeze him again, speaking like a baby, "Continue Tell me, I want to know how you and I got along well, how did you choose me out of many, many people?"

He was obviously very stupid at the time, not interesting at all, and even pestered Feng Xi to tell him many boring things.

The last remaining image in his memory was of an experiment to expand the depth of his mental realm, when he passed out from pain. From then on, the memory stayed in eternal darkness.

It may have been painful memories afterwards, but I don't know to what extent it caused his brain to automatically produce stress protection.

Feng Xi couldn't resist him, so he pushed his face and asked him to look at the screen of the terminal. It was a movie about special people. "You look really easy to deceive. You kept getting closer to me. You just wanted to hit me." Qiu Feng. But I want to use you to consolidate your position in the institute, so I haven’t kicked you out.”

At first glance, it was a perfunctory answer. Qi Mu had signs of thinking. He glanced at the terminal, "No, you are not that kind of person. Based on what you are telling me now, I feel there must be something hidden in it. I will not abandon it." My friend ran away alone, but I can't prove it now, so you can accuse me, but don't hate me, okay?"

Qi Mu hugged Feng Xi's shoulder and rubbed his head, "If you want to know as soon as possible, you can do it later. I will completely let go of the restrictions in my mental realm to find the answer, and I have a hunch that I will be able to remember it after a long time."

Feng Xi curled his lips and raised his hand to touch Qi Mu's wet eyes: "Look. In this movie, a special person becomes a sentinel to protect the guide. Have you ever imagined who becomes a guide for you? I heard that this kind of work is quite popular among sentinels."

Qi Mu raised his eyes and wanted to refute. Feng Xi stopped him, "Don't be so anxious. Watch the movie first."

-Fourteen

years ago. This is the fourth year that Feng Xi has been imprisoned in the research institute. As the most expensive experimental subject owned by the research institute, even though none of the experiments on him were successful, he has been well placed in the research institute.

Although the treatment is worse, as an experimental subject, neglect is a luxurious gift. As long as you reduce your sense of presence, your chances of survival will be greatly increased.

The research institute always has a batch of test subjects that look like an assembly line. Most of them are ordinary people, consumables, and cannot survive even one year. Feng Xi knew that as long as he could survive, there was hope of being rescued.

But the situation changed not long ago. In order to save his roommate, under the guidance of the remaining medicine, he once again sensed the existence of the mental realm of special people. The strange mental realm was violent and manic, causing huge waves at all times.

His fragile new mental power stirred up pain. He felt the pain, so he went to pinch the culprit who caused everything. S01 shrank beside him, "I am excited, I am excited, and I will not reject you."

Feng Xi glanced at him coldly. , S01 had to speak cautiously, "I'm sorry, but my mental realm has always been like this. I can't bear it. I'm afraid you won't come in if I tell you."

Feng Xi was helpless. This pain made his forehead beat wildly. When he first awakened During the chaotic period at that time, his mental realm only caused a slight disturbance, and he pestered his mother to moan for several days. With the state of Qi Mu's mental realm, he was afraid that he would be in pain.

So he had to succeed. Feng Xi gritted his teeth and continued to try to mobilize the spiritual realm that had been abandoned for many years, trying to squeeze out more spiritual power.

Many late nights, he would try it with the aftertaste of the transformation potion.

He had seen in the experimental records of the institute that most of the transformed spiritual realms were disposable items, and few guides could match them, which led to the fate of their supplies. According to theory, if the guide's spiritual realm can adapt to each other in the early stages of its formation, it is very possible to create a guide suitable for the experimental subject.

However, the differentiation period of special people was too early and irregular, so they focused on inducing ordinary people to transform into guides.

Those ordinary people can do it, but there is no reason why he, a special person who once had a spiritual realm, can't.

Later, the experiment on S01 finally came to an end. Because Feng Xi suddenly differentiated into a guide, the institute believed that it had found a more useful experimental product, and no longer wanted to spend a lot of effort to maintain S01's too crazy mental realm.

As long as there is a guide, no matter how advanced a sentinel is, it can be created.

Seeing that his efforts not only failed to save S01, but instead accelerated his abandonment process, Feng Xi was rarely shrouded in confusion. He was treated as the highest-level experimental subject and realized how miserable S01's life was.

The light in the laboratory was almost bright until early in the morning. He returned to the dormitory and almost fell asleep, but a bit of coldness touched his cheek, and S01 carefully swayed the small snake made of pebbles and grass threads in the air.

S01 rarely had time to relax. He stayed in the dormitory all day and relied on Feng Xi's pitiful guide. The pain that was suppressed by the lack of medicine tortured him. The act of forcibly raising the level limit finally backfired. In just half a month, he lost weight. many. But the sentry who was on the verge of death looked at him carefully, fearing that he would anger his roommate who had worked hard all day

, "Xiaoxi, are you tired? Do you have time to look at the little snake I made up for you?"

, knowing that Xiaoxi’s former spiritual body was a sea snake, S01 has always wanted to make one. When he was wandering, he learned a lot from his friends, and he happened to be able to make small animals. The little snake made of vines and stones was a bit clumsy. , but it looks pretty cute.

"You are now a guide, but your spiritual body has not yet condensed. It should still be a little snake, right? You didn't give it a name before, why not give it now?"

"I heard a saying, with a name, there is a bond. You must remember it this time." S01 put the straw snake on Feng Xi, "Of course, it would be better if you could pick one up for me."

S01 is already fourteen years old and has not come into contact with too many people . , he learned most of his knowledge from Feng Xi. He didn't know what the right name was, so he looked at Feng Xi expectantly.

Feng Xi suddenly felt his eyes burning. Fatigue, pain, longing for his relatives, and anger at the sentry in front of him who was so stunned that he didn't know he was about to die all came into his mind. He knocked the little snake down and said, "I don't want it." Give it a name. Here, they can give me a spiritual body, and they can take it back immediately. As long as I inject medicine, all my efforts will fail."

"I will give it a name only after I escape. !"

The little snake fell to the ground, and the pebbles leaked out of the grass rope due to the impact, and lay crookedly on the ground, but neither of them had the intention to care about it. Qi Mu was at a loss, patting and coaxing his roommate who suddenly collapsed, "I Did I make you angry again? I'm sorry, please stop crying."

Feng Xi was so comforted by the sentry that he almost vomited. He pushed S01 aside with his hands and feet, "You are just a fool, you only say don't be angry and forgive. , Even if I have to remember you, I will definitely remember your wooden head, even if you don’t use your name!"

Seeing that Feng Xi was willing to talk, S01 breathed a sigh of relief, he climbed onto the bed, lay down next to the stream, and stretched out his hands in front of his eyes! Huang, "It's not wood. According to the common language, I must be like a spring breeze, because I can take care of people."

The poor boy from the garbage star learned the common language through his own efforts and mastered various idioms proficiently, but Feng Xi was still beaten by Qi Mu's reply with a serious frequency jump made people laugh, "Are you too confident? You are obviously stupid, but you still make people feel like spring breeze..."

As he said this, he burst into laughter, as if S01 told a big joke.

S01 wanted to refute, but seeing that Feng Xi's mood improved, he spoke carefully, "I know you don't want me to die, and you want me to see what you told me, Xiaoxi..."

He turned around and could only see Feng Xi. Xi's hair, "Let's escape. I have noted down the loopholes in the protection. When the time comes, I will knock down everyone who stops me, and we will run out together."

Feng Xi gradually stopped moving, and he put his hands under his head, He was a little afraid to go out, but in the end, he answered, "Yeah."

He was afraid that he would be the only one alive after going out.

-One

afternoon.

"Help me," the young man who climbed out of the transport truck pulled up a sling and looked at the man leaning outside the spacecraft. The man, who had a mercenary-like fierce aura about him, was smoking. He paused and doubted his ears, but it was true. The standard common language is correct, "Good guy, this research institute is quite inhumane. It even dares to rob people from the central star field? Look at this standard accent, which young master is it?" A

busy companion on the other side came over. He glanced at it and said, "It's covered in blood. I won't do it after this job. What the hell is this? They just pick kids, experiment until they are half dead and then sell them to other people. I can't stand this kind of rubbish."

The man chuckled. Because of the darkness behind the sky-high remuneration, he put out his cigarette butt and raised his hand to rest on his companion, "Let's stop this deal. This is not the right thing to do."

"Are you afraid that they will silence you? That's right. Just pay . Our deposit is abnormally large." The companion responded, "No, what about these children? Are we leaving them here?"

"Do you think they can survive?" The man was a little impatient. , he already hated blood, and a bloody finger even grabbed the hem of his trousers. The man lowered his head and met the boy's abnormally dark eyes.

The sound was like a little animal whimpering, "Please, save Xiaoxi, his family is very rich, and he will definitely be able to pay you more..."

The finger was torn off, and the man waved away the smell of cigarette smoke. "How much more money can you compare to the one above? Don't do it."

-Fourteen

years later, in the hotel of Mining Star, Qi Mu carefully watched the entire movie titled Destined Love and rethought the question raised by Feng Xi. .

Would you like someone to be your guide?

Qi Mu shook his head sincerely, feeling that his mouth was a little empty, so he rubbed Feng Xi's messy hair casually, and his voice was so grumbling that it made his teeth sticky, "No, our compatibility is pretty good, isn't it? Things will change a lot the day after tomorrow. pain."
