The first day of the celebration ended quickly, and the empire was peaceful on the surface. But everyone knew that this was only the surface. The sudden agitation of the sentries during the lunch cast a shadow over many people's hearts, and the Imperial State Security Office also sent additional staff everywhere.
Ryan and the others returned to the apartment and sat on the sofa chatting together.
Rennes has been receiving foreign guests to go through the process, so everything is handled by Lei Ao.
Leo explained the situation with a serious face: "Mite has extremely high attainments in the spiritual field. The driver who transported the garbage was hypnotized by him, and no trace of him was found."
"The four sentries who were suddenly frantic did a full-body inspection, and found no problems. After asking, they didn't find anything wrong."
"Mite," Ryan thought, "I remember correctly that his original identity was a guide, and in connection with his ability, I suspect that he may not be as simple as a guide."
Louis answered: "Do you suspect that they are using guides to conduct experiments on spiritual power?"
Ren nodded: "Yes, in fact, a certain number of guides are captured by guide vendors every year in each star. The alliance has strongly cracked down on the trading of guides, and it has been very effective in this matter. Only a few of the captured guides have been recovered. , most of them seem to have disappeared.”
He questioned: "Where did the disappearing guide go? What is it doing?"
Xiao Mu's heart tightened when he heard this, and Ren's previous words answered his own question.
Obviously, he deduced that those guides had been arrested for experiments related to mental power, and he had to say that his conjecture was very reasonable, and the experiments sounded like chills down the spine.
The air was stagnant, and Leo said in a hoarse voice: "If this is the case, then it is very likely that their experimental star is after the transition point of area f, at least it is also a transit station. Dad and the others disappeared there, they..."
Ren interrupted him: "Things may not be the worst. Your father and father are not bad. I believe they will not have an accident."
But, if people are still safe, why hasn't there been any news for so many years? Everyone present had such doubts, but no one said it out, as if bad guesses would really happen after they were said out.
Louis patted Ren on the shoulder: "I saw the light before the transition point passed out. There should be the exit. The transition point is very different from the rest. It should be specially built, and the transition time is more than half an hour. This It is also the reason for our negligence, always thinking that it is just a static zone."
He said again: "There is a strong mental attack wave there, I'm not sure about the specific situation."
"I've already arranged for people to start researching the equipment to resist mental attacks. There has been progress in the past two days. You have to be patient." He looked at Louis and Leo seriously.
He knew his partner and grandson very well, and was worried that the two would go directly to Area F on impulse.
Louis put his hand on the back of his hand: "I won't mess around."
Leo was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Me neither."
Ren breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his face and got up and said, "Everyone go to rest, and I will be busy tomorrow. When the Congress opens next year, I must put forward the proposal to change the celebration day to every five years, so as not to toss every year."
Ren and Louis went to the bedroom to rest, only Xiao Mu and Leo were still in the living room, Xiao Mu handed the 100 low-grade hemostatic pills made before dinner to Leo: "Take it, just in case."
Leo did not delay, but turned on the terminal to prepare for the transfer: "I remember that this medicine is 50,000 yuan, how many pills in total?"
"No need," Xiao Mu said, "It's good to be able to help. There are so many guards, and I haven't paid a penny!"
Ryan's speculation made him realize that his situation was not safe. If the military hadn't been providing protection, he couldn't have lived so smoothly. Although he was not free, he had done everything he wanted to do.
Lei Ao did not insist, and put away the medicine: "If you are short of money, remember to tell me."
Xiao Mu didn't think that he would be short of money. He already made a lot of money in pharmaceuticals every day, so as not to refuse to let Leo insist on paying the bill, he nodded in agreement, got up and said, "I'm going to rest first, good night."
On the second day, Xiao Mu still ate breakfast alone, and the security of the apartment was the same as the day before, extremely strict.
Xiao Mu sat on the sofa and watched the live broadcast of the celebration. Today is the performance of the top products in various industries this year, mainly to show strength and inspire people.
The morning arrangement is a military parade, a demonstration of the corresponding weapons and equipment of different arms.
Seeing the phalanxes passing by the marshal podium on the screen, Xiao Mu had a feeling of deja vu, and he couldn't help smiling when he saw the enthusiastic patriotic declaration on the barrage.
This scene, in particular, can inspire a sense of national honor.
The Mecha team was the last to appear. As soon as the broadcast came out, the bullet screen instantly set off a boom. Xiao Mu looked over and could only see a string of words flying by, and couldn't make out the content at all.
When the mecha team came out, Xiao Mu subconsciously held his breath as he looked at the leader's familiar Black Panther mecha.
There are two mechas in the lead, the Black Panther Mecha and the White Fox Mecha.
Behind them is the whole team of animal mechs, each of which is large in size, but moves very lightly, walking step by step with the accompaniment, the pace is not bad, and when they reach the marshal's podium, all the mechas are scattered. open.
At the same time, all the mechas half-kneeled on their front legs and made a military salute unique to mechas, and Ren returned the military salute to the mecha team.
The mechas stood up in unison, and then the left and right mechas turned around and started fighting each other.
The black panther and the white fox mechs fought in a group, all in close combat, the speed was so fast that people could hardly see the mechas clearly, only phantoms. During the whole process, the soundtrack was extremely passionate, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
"too handsome!"
"Ah, male god, lick the screen!"
Xiao Mu was also excited. Although he didn't know how to drive a mech, any man would have emotional ups and downs in this kind of scene.
Suddenly, the terminal vibrated, and he connected it casually, followed by Hawk's excited cry, and even the sound of stomping on the floor. Obviously, he was walking around excitedly while talking.
"Xiao Mu, have you seen the celebration, Lyle is really handsome! Did you see, he is so handsome, I am so excited, so handsome!"
Xiao Mu rubbed his ears. He really wanted to ask, which one was Lyle, but he felt that asking directly would be like throwing Hawke cold water, so he didn't ask.
He looked at the screen, thinking about Lyle's identity, and finally landed on the white fox mecha: "It's very handsome, he can control so many tails, very strong."
"You think so too!" Hawke became even more excited, and said a bunch of incoherent words, then added after calming down a little, "Major General Leo is also handsome, if you want to praise, you can say it like me, and I will listen you say."
Xiao Mu: "...he is very powerful."
"That's it?" Hawk was stunned, "Are you too calm? Could it be..." His voice suddenly raised, full of disbelief, "Don't you like Major General Leo?"
Xiao Mu opened his mouth to answer 'yes', but he swallowed the words when he was about to say them. Thinking of his unnatural performance when facing Leo, he couldn't help hesitating, and this slight hesitation made his face turn red. heat up.
"I'm not sure." He said helplessly, touching his hot face.
"If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What is uncertainty?" Hawke was puzzled. "It's like I like Lyle, and my cousin likes my cousin. I can't be more sure."
He paused: "Major General Leo must be very sad."
"Ah?" Xiao Mu didn't know how he came to the conclusion.
Hawke plausibly said: "I have liked Lyle for so long, and I feel very uncomfortable whenever I think that he doesn't like me. Major General Leo confessed to you in front of the whole people. If you know that you don't like him, or you are not sure that you like him, How uncomfortable it must be!"
"And," Hawk muttered, "you're so smart, how come you don't even know whether you like others?"
Xiao Mu said dumbly, he couldn't help thinking while watching the black panther on the screen, when he saw Leo for the first time, he was very surprised, Leo's appearance and body were his favorite type.
It's just that getting along with each other wasn't good, and even because of his disguised identity, he always blushed when facing Leo, which made Leo misunderstand, and Leo repeatedly said that he disliked weak chickens and would not like him.
Perhaps at that time, he had a subconscious mind in his heart that Leo could not be his favorite, and therefore he never thought of their relationship as a lover.
He didn't believe it until Leo confessed. Later, Leo made concessions and restrained his behavior, which made him realize that Leo really liked him. From then on, when watching Leo, his thinking changed and he would go to Lover's direction to think.
Presumably because of this, facing Leo, he gradually loses his normal heart, tends to speed up his heart, and easily feels embarrassed and at a loss.
He stroked his forehead with a helpless expression. If Leo had been like this from the beginning, he would have fallen in love with him long ago.
It's just that he couldn't make Leo fall in love at first sight. Thinking about it carefully, if this is the case, he might also worry that Leo fell in love with his appearance, and he would feel insecure.
He smiled wryly. He was a complete coward emotionally. He was used to seeing same-sex couples who fell in love and broke up. He was too cautious. Even in this world where same-sex marriage was legal, he was subconsciously considerate.
In fact, Leo has always been the type he likes, except for his venomous tongue, his appearance, his ability, and his publicity are all his favorites, and Leo has never been venomous to him since he confessed.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt much more relaxed: "You are right, I am an idiot."
"I didn't say it!" Hawke was dissatisfied, "At best, he is an emotional fool."
Xiao Mu smiled, just as the mecha show was over, Hawke said briskly: "Yeah, it's over, I made an appointment with Lyle to have lunch together, and he said that he told me the little secret of promising my marriage proposal during lunch! Hang up first Bye bye."
Xiao Mu's lips curled up, thinking that there was indeed an inside story, and Lyle didn't look like someone who was easily moved enough to agree to get married.
He ate lunch, rested for a while, and sat on the sofa in the room thinking about what to do when he saw Leo at night. He always felt that it was not good to not tell the other party after he understood what he wanted, just like hanging him deliberately.
Just as he was thinking, Renn's communication came. After he connected, Renn went straight to the point.
"Xiao Mu, I have something to discuss with you. After the stars watched this year's medicine, many envoys proposed to learn how to make guide medicine. I remember that your shop's medicine method is open to the public. Do you mind letting people from other planets learn? ?"
Xiao Mu sat upright, his head spinning rapidly: "I don't mind," he said while thinking, "I think it would be better for people on other planets to learn, otherwise it would be dangerous to be remembered."
"And if they put in the effort to inquire about it, it's not difficult to learn it, and they can just take the opportunity to get some benefits."
Ren's tone was slightly relaxed: "I think so too. Is there anything you want? I can help you."
"No," Xiao Mu shook his head, "Just let the empire benefit more, and the empire will force me to live with peace of mind."
Ren laughed loudly: "Okay, the person my grandson likes has high consciousness."
Xiao Mu blushed inexplicably, and was a little bit dumbfounded. Ren is very busy. After confirming his opinion, he will arrange related matters.
Xiao Mu originally thought that he could just agree with him, but he didn't expect to guide him personally.
Lei Ao came to the apartment to pick him up in person. After hearing Lei Ao's explanation of the reason for picking him up, he looked puzzled: "Isn't there a video on the delicious homepage? Just watch the video and learn."
Lei Ao said: "Delicious food was invaded in violation of the regulations, and the data self-destructed."
"Huh?" Xiao Mu was shocked.
"Delicious has set a ban on the entry of aliens from the day the alien messenger arrived. At the same time, the video on the homepage is prohibited from rebroadcasting and the frequency is locked. If someone wants to steal the data, the data will self-destruct."
Xiao Mu is silent, Zhao Sheng is much more enlightened than him.
The anti-theft and self-destruction mode was obviously created by Zhao Sheng's technicians.
