Mutt has always been clear about his position.
He is a subordinate of Major General Troll, perhaps closer than a purely superior-subordinate relationship, similar to that of a good friend.
He knew that Major General Troll had special feelings for him, but he knew that it was impossible for him to respond, so he gave the major general a very clear answer.
Yes, he respected the major general, was grateful to the major general, and even admired the major general's strength.
He is willing to do a lot of things for the major general, even putting himself in danger because of it, but all of this is only due to his duties as a major general's subordinate and his personal affection for the major general.
But whether it's admiration, gratitude, or goodwill, these feelings have nothing to do with the major general's feelings for him.
He knew very well that he didn't hate the major general, but he couldn't like the same sex. No matter how good Major General Troll was, but the Major General was a man, he was doomed to never put the Major General in the scope of emotional consideration.
"You come with me, and I will let him go."
"Don't do it, you can settle your own affairs."
The boy's answer was clean and neat, without even a little hesitation, and he even curled his lips, clearly expressing his disdain for Tran's proposal.
He was very clear about Tran's proposal. Didn't it mean that Tran lost to Major General Troll again, and then he wanted to take him away, so as to express to the major general that although I lost to you, the person you value Taken away by me, you didn't win either.
Hehe, you go.
Mutt said so from the bottom of his heart.
Although he is a bit slow in emotion, he is not stupid, he can feel that although he clearly rejected the major general, Major General Troll still treats him...
...
Do you think I read less TV dramas and novels
The boy who used to stay in the ward basically spent his time with TV, computer and books said that he knew this routine very well.
The heroine endured the humiliation and left with the male lead for the sake of the male lead, but the male lead thought it was the female lead who betrayed him. All kinds of halos of the protagonist exploded and then exploded. They killed the male lead with one move, and then brought the female lead back for all kinds of abuse. Heart.
Hostess: Listen to my explanation!
Male protagonist: I don't listen, I don't listen!
Hostess: Actually, I did it for you—
Male lead: Tell me, tell me! Why are you betraying me? ! why!
Hostess: Listen to me explain—
Male protagonist: I don't listen, I don't listen! I want to abuse you, I want to abuse you!
...
Infinite loop.
The teenager who was tired of watching TV dramas said that this is two idiots getting together, no wonder they can see each other right.
Now, this routine is set on him. He said that he must not follow the routine.
Make up your mind that the major general is like an actor in a TV series, shouting 'I don't listen, I don't listen'... …
... ... ...
The picture is so beautiful, so beautiful that Mutt felt that he had automatically mosaiced the picture in his mind at the moment of imagination.
Shaking his head and throwing out the messy thoughts in his mind, Mute looked up at Tran.
Tran looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face, as if he didn't understand why he said those words.
The shadows in the dark blue pupils sank deeply, and the silt settled to the deepest part of the man's eyes, which could not be melted away. Even if the light came in, it would be sunken deep in it, unable to illuminate those eyes.
Mutt sighed softly, he thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Tran again, his outstretched hand gently touched the familiar handsome face.
"Do you think I lied to you?"
He stared into Tran's eyes and said that the boy's dark pupils were translucent, without any shadow.
"However, it was you who appeared in front of me under a false identity at the beginning."
"I treat you well because I think you are Major General Troll."
"All my attitudes towards you have belonged to the major general from the very beginning."
His words made Tran's eyes more gloomy, and his cold thin lips were tightened, and the lines were so sharp that they almost formed a straight line.
But Mutt continued to speak on his own, as if he didn't see Tran's expression.
"From the first time I shook off your hand, that was my attitude towards you."
"I am afraid of you, guard against you, and guard against you, because you are the enemy of the major general, so you are also my enemy."
The boy spoke non-stop what sounded like extremely cruel words.
"As it is now, that's how I feel about 'Tran'."
He stared at Tran.
"So, answer me, what do you want, is that I treat you with the attitude of 'Major General Troll', or the attitude of 'Tlan'?"
"..."
The man with his lips pursed tightly, and the darkness in his eyes almost bottomless, lost his mind for a moment when he heard Mute's last words.
When he found out that Mute had lied to him and left Ishtar to return to the planet, the feeling that his entire chest froze for a moment made his mind almost blank for a moment.
The boy, he thought, had lied to him.
He had been thinking that way until just now.
[Do you want me to treat you with the same attitude towards 'Major General Troll' or 'Tlan'?]
The child asked him this, looking up at him with clear and bright eyes.
He suddenly understood the reason why the child asked him this sentence.
Even what he himself hadn't realized, was seen through by this young child.
Why do you have special feelings for this child
Because the kid saw him.
As a person, not a tool, not 'it', the child is the first to see 'him'.
All along, the person the child was looking at was 'Tlan', not 'Troll'.
… At this moment, he had an indescribable strange feeling.
He suddenly felt that there might be nothing wrong with this.
Even if he failed, even if he was deceived, at least in the eyes of this child, he was always 'Tran', from the beginning to the end.
"You treat me very well, I don't hate you, but I have to fulfill my duties as a subordinate of Major General Troll."
Mute looked at him and said, repeating that sentence again.
"You've been nice to me, I know that."
"But I won't go with you, because I have my own goals, what I want to do, and my own direction... That has nothing to do with Major General Troll."
After the boy finished speaking so earnestly, he looked at him, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but asked what was in his heart.
"Is there no possibility of reconciliation between you and the major general?"
he asked in a low voice.
Although at first he was indeed terrified of this man who silently replaced Major General Troll, it was just his instinctive fear of the unknown. But this fear didn't last long. Although he didn't know who this strange person was, he could see the way this person looked at him.
On this planet full of dangers and monsters, it was this person who protected him, and he always remembered this kind of thing.
He wanted to rescue the major general, but he didn't want this man to die either.
He didn't know what kind of entanglement this person had with the major general, but he still wanted to try that possibility.
"Looking at your faces, you should have a close blood relationship, right?"
Obviously they have the closest blood relationship, and obviously neither of them is a bad person, why must they kill each other
Mutt couldn't figure it out.
If it is just because the faces are too similar to cause trouble, then as long as one of them undergoes plastic surgery to change their appearance a little, anyway, these two people are obviously the type who don't care much about their appearance.
Why can't both of them survive, even if they don't see each other again, and live a life of non-interference
"..."
Tran didn't answer, just looked at Mute.
His gaze was no longer frighteningly cold as it was at the beginning, but had become an extremely complicated gaze.
After a long time, he spoke.
His voice was very low, with a bit of indescribable meaning.
"A planet has only one star," he said. "Standing on the ground of a planet, you can never see two suns."
He said, "Me and him are not what you think."
As he said so, he closed his eyes, and the shadow of his slender eyelashes fell on his snow-white skin.
He closed his eyes for a long time, as if making a difficult decision.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Mute, his dark blue pupils were like endless black holes in the depths of the universe, with no end in sight, sucking up all the brilliance.
He raised his hand and held it up in front of Mutt.
He said, "What do you think this is?"
What Tran held up in front of Mutt was his right hand. On his wrist, a silver-blue metal ring reflected the cold light.
Mute is naturally very familiar with it. He also has such an information ring. He has worn it for a long time, and he left it in the major general's room in Ishtar not long ago. He was still looking at Tran in some confusion, not understanding why Tran had to show him this. But soon, his pupils staring at the information ring contracted forcefully.
He looked at Tran, and his mind became very confused for a moment.
"… I do not really get it… "
The young man said softly, shaking his head, only feeling that his mind was in a mess at this moment.
"No, you understand."
Tran looked at Mute and said calmly. Then he straightened up. He stood there, looking down at Mutt condescendingly, and there were many things in his eyes that were unclear.
After a while, he held out his hand to Mutt.
"Come with me," he said, "I'll tell you what he and I are."
...
Mute felt that his mind was still very confused, and he couldn't think of anything, but was followed by Tran holding his hand in a daze.
After leaving the starting room, he followed Tran through the corridor. Just as he guessed at the beginning, this place, which is almost like an underground labyrinth, is in the shape of a honeycomb. Corridors surrounded by metal appear one after another. At the end of the corridor is a small room, and each room is diamond-shaped. There is a door on each side, and outside the door is an unchanging corridor.
After following Tran for a short time, Mutt felt dizzy, let alone remembering where he had walked. In his view, the places he walked were all the same, and there was no difference at all.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Tran in front finally stopped.
Mute looked up, and at some point, the same diamond-shaped room and metal corridor were no longer in front of him. At this moment, he was standing in a place similar to a hall. The hall was supported by several huge columns, and the roof was so high that he could hardly see the roof clearly.
And in this huge rotunda, there is nothing but a huge silver metal door standing there. The door was terribly large, more than fifty meters long, almost as high as the hall.
A substantial layer of electromagnetic barrier dances in the air, and the distorted air makes its existence visible to the naked eye. It was right in front of the metal gate, making it impossible for anyone to get close.
Tran walked to the pillar in front of the electromagnetic barrier and stepped on the foot of the pillar. A metal plate on the pillar rose up by itself, revealing the hidden instrument with beating characters inside.
A beam of light shot out from the instrument, forming a virtual light curtain in the air, and a mechanical sound came out.
"Secret zone, please verify your identity."
A beam of light scanned Tran from beginning to end, especially in front of his pupils, shining on his irises for a long time. After a while, the mechanical sound sounded in the hall again.
"Identity verification, one of the test subjects, allowed to enter the laboratory."
The electromagnetic barrier sizzled and disappeared, and the huge metal door slowly opened in front of the two of them. The inside was exposed, it was pitch black, without a gleam of light, like a monster with its mouth wide open to devour everything.
An uncomfortable chill came from the dark hole, causing Mutt to take a step back involuntarily.
I don't want to go in.
An indescribable feeling warned him like this, but Tran, who was holding his hand tightly, moved, and strode into the huge dark room, he was forced to follow, followed Tran walk in together.
The light in the hall was still dimly on, illuminating the backs of those two people, watching their figures being swallowed by the darkness.
...
It was originally a pitch-black place, but it suddenly lit up as soon as Mutt stepped into it.
The boy suddenly opened his eyes wide.
This is a huge and wide research room with almost no end in sight. In front of his eyes, countless cylindrical glass vessels are erected neatly in front of his eyes. Densely packed, everywhere, covering the entire large research room, the number may have reached the point of tens of thousands.
Some of the upright cylindrical culture vessels were broken, some fell to the ground, and some parts became ruins, but the part near the door seemed to be intact, filled with a light blue liquid, Inside each incubator, there seemed to be something soaked in liquid.
Mute took a closer look, and when he saw it clearly, he was startled and backed away, bumping into Tran behind him.
He was terribly frightened and disgusted.
The thing he saw soaked in the light blue liquid in the culture vessel just now was a piece of meat, no, it was not so much a piece of meat, it was more like an unformed baby conceived in a woman's womb. The unformed piece of meat seems to be still alive, soaked in the liquid, still wriggling.
He turned his head and took a look. What was soaked in each culture vessel was an unformed piece of meat, wriggling like life in the liquid. There was an indescribable sense of horror, which made people watch My scalp is numb.
"...a semi-finished product that later failed."
A deep voice came from behind, Tran walked out from behind Mutt, and walked to the petri vessel that had just scared Mutt.
He reached out and pressed his palm against the glass, looking at the ugly lump of flesh inside the liquid. His pupils were soaked in the color of the light blue liquid inside, and his gaze sank deeply.
He suddenly turned around and walked forward. Following his movements, in the center of the countless culture vessels, a console slowly rose from the ground and appeared in front of him.
Tran pressed a few buttons on the console, and a virtual light curtain appeared in front of his eyes, and his fingers tapped on the light curtain at a frighteningly fast speed.
One last, hard knock down—
With that knock, Mute was shocked to find that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed completely. The originally slightly dim research room was brightly lit, and the dilapidated and even ruined places not far away were all restored to look intact.
Several figures hurried towards him, about to bump into him, Mute instinctively stretched out his hand to block, and then he was surprised to find that the person walking towards him just passed through his body, as if there was no Seeing his existence, he still walked forward on his own, and the few people next to that person didn't seem to see him at all.
The young man raised his head in a daze. He looked at Tran who was standing opposite him, and then saw where Tran was standing, that is, there was a not-young old man standing in front of the console, and the figure of the old man was strange. Overlapping with Tran, their bodies seemed to be embedded together.
…
This is the image of the past in this secret laboratory.
The things that happened here in the past are reproduced in front of their eyes once again in the form of projections.
Those researchers who are busy and talking here are all people who have existed here in the past
Thinking of this, Mute couldn't help but look around. However, the moment he raised his head, before he could look around, what he saw froze him.
He opened his mouth slightly, his mind was already blank.
The countless cylindrical glass vessels stood upright in front of his eyes, filled with light blue liquid.
What made his whole body freeze and his mind went blank were those things soaked in the culture vessel liquid.
… Do not.
It cannot be said to be things, but all of them are people.
real people.
The bodies soaked in the culture fluid—like carved out of a mold—whether it is the unbelievably beautiful face or body—
"A monster created by man."
"Experimental products produced in batches."
"Different individuals with the exact same genes."
Tran said that he looked at Mute with no expression on his face, as indifferent as if he had completely lost human emotion.
"That's what you want to know, my relationship with him."
The young man stared at him blankly, apparently everything in front of him had shocked him so much that he couldn't speak, so he could only look at him blankly.
When the child came back to his senses, what kind of eyes would he look at him.
Tran didn't know.
But when he made this decision, he was already prepared to be regarded as a different kind by this child.
After Mute stared blankly at him for a while, he finally opened his mouth slowly.
"You... all have the same genes?"
"Yes."
"It's all the same, uh, artificially bred?"
"Yes."
"Can I ask a question?"
"..."
Inexplicably, Tran felt that the internal organs in his chest tightened suddenly and violently at this moment, as if being grasped by an invisible hand.
He didn't answer, just remained silent, waiting for the final sentence to come out of the boy's mouth.
The teenager took a deep breath.
"It's the same genetic..."
he said, paused.
"Nurtured..."
He paused again.
"Do you guys have female bodies?"
Tran: "..."
