The most honorable king in the federation is having a terminal meeting with the councilors, and the councilors from different regions presented a holographic image mode, respectfully reporting their recent work.
The third prince sat on the king's side, carelessly scratching his palm with sharp nails, leaving bloodstains mercilessly, but the mechanical organs did not shed any bloodstains, and recovered at an astonishing speed.
Whenever the king decided on a political matter, he would glance at the third prince imperceptibly, and only after he found that the other party had no objection would he issue an order.
After the one-hour meeting ended, the majesty on the king's face disappeared immediately. He left the chief seat and stood beside the third prince, and said humbly and in awe.
"Third prince, recently the fourth prince has approached me privately, asking me to change my mind and make him the next king."
"Don't worry about him, he's just a wimp, but he was encouraged by the family."
The third prince lazily continued to stroke his palm, repeating meaningless masochistic movements.
The king bent his back almost ninety degrees, even though he enjoyed the honor and privileges of the king when he pretended to be the king, he was still full of fear for the seemingly gentle third prince.
Perhaps it was because his false identity was bestowed by the third prince, or maybe it was because he had witnessed how the third prince tortured the real king to death, so how is this kind-hearted third prince who is sought after by the federal residents actually? Bloodthirsty and brutal people, only their cronies know.
And knowing more secrets means that it will be easier to be silenced, so he tried his best to play the role of the king tremblingly, and acted according to the requirements of the third prince, hoping that he could survive the king's abdication in less than a month .
The king reported the recent events in detail. The third prince seemed to be absent-minded, but with a few short words, he decided on a big event in an instant.
After all the matters were dealt with, the king withdrew first, and the third prince felt really bored after staying for a while, so he slowly left the meeting room and went out.
This is the most majestic and majestic central building in the federation. Because of its extremely important position, it has the most advanced technology and the strictest security.
The walls and ground made of the strongest material reflected the cold silver light. The third prince walked out without any haste. He didn't let any guards follow him, because he couldn't control his bloody thoughts of wanting to torture others at any time. .
The meeting room is deep in the central building, and you need to go through layers of permissions to enter. The third prince stopped at the first permission to go out, and after scanning his pupils and fingerprints, the door was not opened.
He lost again quietly, but suddenly a dazzling red light flashed at the entrance control, and immediately the walls of this long corridor turned into bright red with flashing alarms. As long as he moved one more step, the gap in the wall would be closed. Layers of high-temperature rays are fired, no matter how strong the alloy machine is, it will be cut into pieces.
This is the first level of defense set up by the Federation against intruders, and the only person who can issue this order is the third prince who is now regarded as an intruder.
Faced with the abnormal situation, the third prince seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He turned around indifferently and stared at the strange man who suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor, and said with a smile with great interest.
"Actually, I should really destroy you, because you are too dangerous. Those so-called scientists really have no brains. Don't they know that after studying artificial humans with autonomous consciousness, human beings will be dominated by more advanced ones?" replace?"
He sighed softly and said regretfully.
"But there is no way. I have already promised Jiang Fu that one life will be exchanged for another. The majestic federal royal family can't just keep their promises."
The man not far from him was handsome and well-defined, every bit of perfection was like a darling carved by God.
His face was expressionless, his dark eyes were filled with a cold light, his voice was deep and magnetic, overflowing with a murderous aura.
"where is he."
As his words fell, a beam of high-temperature rays was cast from the wall next to the Third Prince, which burned through his complicated sleeves, revealing the white back of his hands.
But he didn't care about the fact that the central building was completely controlled by the man-made man, he just smiled playfully, as if deliberately irritating the person opposite, and said slowly.
"One life for one life, don't you understand? Since you are still alive, then of course he is..."
The unfinished words stopped at the moment when the back of the hand was penetrated by the high-temperature rays. The third prince raised his half of the palm that was cut off by Qiqi, and sighed regretfully.
"This is my favorite pair of hands, and I will have to polish them for a long time before I can make new ones."
He raised his eyelids and looked at the artificial man, tilting his head like a curious child, but his eyes were so calm and deep.
"Why do you have to look for him? Isn't that good? I will give you real resident status, and you have the perfect attributes of an artificial human, and you will live the life you want. Why care about a liar. I have seen According to your experiment report, does he always say he loves you in your spiritual world? But do you know that he also said that to others? Heh, he actually doesn’t care about you at all.”
The man's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice.
"This has nothing to do with you, where is he?"
His unaffected answer made the third prince couldn't help but smile, like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes of life, persuading an ill-informed child with earnestness and earnestness.
He was not afraid of the dangerous high-temperature rays between the walls, and approached the man with his hands behind his back. His gentle voice was mixed with a trace of sympathetic sadness, and his tone was sincere and almost seductive.
"You are a miracle in the history of the Federation's science and technology. If you make the right choice, you will have a glorious life that will go down in history. At that time, you will not be able to choose whoever you want, so why should you rely on Jiang Fu? He has committed a lot of crimes, and he deserves to die. , whether you can't let go of him or hate him, it's better to forget about him now."
In an instant, the corridor was filled with high-temperature rays, and the third prince standing in it was pierced like a sieve, and the wound full of holes was scorching hot. Most of his organs were mechanical, but the left shoulder and the entire left arm The soft body was still human, and it was scorched black by the high-temperature rays, and his face turned pale from the pain.
The only head that the high-temperature rays avoided was still calm and composed. He couldn't even reach out to wipe off the cold sweat falling from his forehead. He maintained a torture posture as if his whole body was pinned. Laughing loudly, there is almost miserable sympathy and sadness in that laughter, as if seeing the former self.
But the difference is that he is not loved, but this mechanical man is deeply loved.
After a while, he gradually stopped laughing and murmured.
"I only ask you one last question. If you answer me, I will take you to see Jiang Fu."
The man stared at him motionlessly, asking expressionlessly.
"what is the problem?"
The third prince looked at his stern eyebrows in a daze, not knowing whether he was asking him or himself.
"Do you really like him? ... Or anyone who appears in your life in such a way, you will fall in love without warning, and he just happened to appear."
The man's face was calm, and his deep voice seemed to have no ups and downs at all, but it was like a calm deep sea. Those passionate feelings that had been deposited over the years had condensed into heavy boulders and sank in the unfathomable bottom of the sea.
"There is no such assumption in the world. There may be many people who appear in this way, but he is the one I met. It is he who has accompanied me through so many spiritual worlds. The mechanical emotions are aroused little by little because of him. , I want to wake up from my slumber to find him in the real world."
The programming of mechanical materials and data can create the most perfect body in the interstellar world, but it cannot enrich the emotions unique to human beings. Such an experiment is no different from growing fresh and beautiful flowers in the desert, and raising a moonlight fish in the soil. .
The artificial human's consciousness is chaotic, and he can't even distinguish himself. He just floats in a dark and empty space, without temperature or color, just like a ghost.
All the volunteers who entered the spiritual world would not cause him any fluctuation or interest, because those people's purpose was too obvious, they racked their brains but were clumsy and stupid, and gave up hastily as if they ran away after hitting a wall.
But that beautiful young man was different. He laid a rose-colored trap with a sweet smile, as if he was playing a game with great interest and carelessness, teasing him, but acting like a baby to him, as if he really regarded him who had no emotion as a An equal human being, a beloved lover.
I don't know what came to mind from this, the artificial man's eyes were slightly absent-minded, his deep voice was much gentler, and the paranoia engraved in his bones was wrapped in the depths.
"I am a man-made man. I have no relatives or friends. I only have him."
"The life I want is to be with him."
The silent air was as dull as stagnation, the third prince trembled all over, ignoring the spreading trembling pain, he chuckled a few times, then closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Okay, I'll take you to find him."
The third prince's palace is near the central building. His body was riddled with holes, but he walked out with only a coat. The guards didn't dare to ask more questions when they saw the strange man suddenly appearing beside him. , Silenced and saluted one after another.
When entering the palace, the bartender who came out saw the third prince's pale face and his expression changed drastically. He immediately stood in front of him and stared at the expressionless man, giving orders with resentment and anger.
"He dares to hurt the Third Prince! Shoot him immediately!"
The surrounding guards only obeyed the third prince's orders, and even if his life was threatened, they would only put on an armed posture after he gave the order, so they still stood motionless on both sides.
Seeing the bartender trembling with anger, the third prince smiled happily and ordered softly.
"Take him to see Jiang Fu."
The bartender gritted his teeth and gave the man a hard look, then turned around and examined the third prince's body carefully. Just as he was about to say something in distress, the back of his neck was suddenly pinched, and all the mechanical organs disappeared in an instant. Action force.
The deep voice of the man behind him was extremely cold.
"Take me to see Jiang Fu."
The bartender was taken aback, only then did he realize that the artificial human created with the most advanced technology in the interstellar world has also become the most powerful manipulator after having autonomous consciousness.
With a chill in his heart, he reluctantly said.
"I see, I will take you to see him now."
The underground of the third prince is a secret room, using the most primitive keys and locks, which are the most fragile and safe existence in the technologically advanced interstellar, so artificial talents cannot perceive this place through interstellar machinery.
After passing through the winding and maze-like dark corridor, the bartender said mockingly while looking for the key.
"I have already told you, you are late, there is only Jiang Fu's body inside."
The man ignored him, walked past him to the wooden door and directly crushed the strong lock, then kicked the door open and walked in. The tall figure froze suddenly when he saw the scene inside.
The quiet young man lay like decaying petals in a pool of cold blood, with a sharp dagger stuck in his heart, making no sound, like a gloomy sculpture.
The man's figure froze for a few seconds, and then he walked towards the room silently. He slowly knelt down and hugged the young man's body in his arms, looking at his pale face quietly as if in a daze.
After a while, he let go of the young man's body and took a step back, as if he had completely lost hope.
The bartender standing at the door supported the third prince who was covered in bruises. After seeing his movements, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But that smile froze when he saw the man go straight to the three walls and punch through them one by one. The body of the man-made man was made of the hardest metal in the interstellar world, and he punched down and smashed through the solid wall. .
In a cloud of flying dust, the man's eyes were fixed on one of them, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he stepped on the ruins of the wall and strode over.
The beautiful young man was suspended as if suffering, his hands were entangled and punctured by dark thorns, and the bright red blood flowed down the white and slender arms, dyeing the black and white uniform on his body into a dark red, flowing from The wet clothes and trouser legs dripped onto the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips were always red and bloodless, and his slender eyelashes drooped quietly, like a butterfly whose wings had been torn apart.
The drooping toes are only one centimeter above the ground, but they are just bound on the verge of being rescued.
The bartender didn't seem to expect that he would find the real Jiang Fu at all, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he whispered to the third prince.
"Unexpectedly, he actually..."
It was like being pricked by a needle suddenly, and before he could react to the small sting, he was choked by the severe pain like a storm. The bartender couldn't utter a word, and looked at the pain on his body almost in horror. All the mechanical organs twisted and stretched in the same direction.
And the nerves in his mind seemed to be paralyzed, as if he could really feel the extreme pain of being torn apart.
He lost his support and fell to the ground, trembling convulsively, his consciousness seemed to be twisted into pieces, messy and chaotic.
He struggled to move his head inch by inch to look at the third prince, only to find that the other person was leaning against the wall and collapsed on the ground in pain, his lips were trembling with pain, but his dazed eyes were fixed on the man and the young man, with a glowing expression on his face. Nervous heat.
It seems to be jealous, and it seems to be envious of something that I will never get.
Because only he himself is wishful thinking.
The man stood in front of the suspended young man for a few seconds, raised his hand hanging by his side several times and then froze in the air, as if he was trying to put him down quickly, but he was afraid that slight movements would hurt him, For a moment, I was overwhelmed like a child.
After staying there for a few seconds, he scanned the room, and then picked up the bloody dagger on the ground not far away. While supporting the young man as gently as possible, he stretched out his hand and carefully cut off the thorns wrapped around his wrist. .
The thorns had already penetrated deeply into the skin and bones of the wrist, and no matter how lightly the man moved, he would touch the wound. The young man gasped in pain, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes, and his head was still drooping as if his bones had been peeled off.
The man's fingertips trembled slightly, and before he was about to cut off the thorn completely, he hugged him through his armpit, and then slowly lowered the arm that supported him.
The thorns on the young man's wrist were pierced too deeply. The man didn't dare to pull it out for a while, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the door in his arms.
The bartender watched helplessly as the man with a horrified face gradually approached and stepped on his head. The violent force almost crushed the hard core of his mind. His mind went blank, and he suddenly realized that he had no way to fight back in the face of death. Power.
The extreme fear and unwillingness stuck in his throat could not be uttered, tears even overflowed from his eyes, even if he died, he still wanted to take another look at the third prince.
Just when he had given up, the third prince forced himself to speak tremblingly, enduring the pain that almost made him faint.
"... There is a repair cabin, the royal family's repair cabin, which can be used by him."
The extremely precious repair cabin can heal any wounds, but its use is limited to members of the royal family, and it can only be used twice within five years. Generally, it will be reserved for members of the royal family as a fallback.
Last year, the third prince was seriously injured when he went to capture Shuhuaxing, and he had already used the repair cabin once. If this opportunity is also used up this time, then he will lose his final guarantee for the next three years.
The bartender's face changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to stop him, but his whole body seemed to be shattered, he couldn't say anything at all, he could only watch helplessly as the man kicked the third prince forcefully, Sen Han ordered road.
"lead the way."
After the third prince felt the tearing and twisting force gradually stop, his trembling body finally eased up a little. He glanced at the bartender who was slumped on the ground and almost turned into a pile of scrap metal, and stood up while leaning on the wall, gritting his teeth. Get up and say to the man with a white face.
"Let's go."
