"I said, I will kill you." Xie He looked at Lance and said word by word.
Lance didn't seem to react at first, his eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then his eyes slowly moved down, landing on the handle of the knife sunk into his chest. It was just a very ordinary dagger, but it easily pierced his body, which is not normal.
Although Xie He was protected by him, he suffered severe impact and fell from a high altitude. Even if he blocked most of it, it stands to reason that he should be seriously injured now, let alone have the strength to kill him.
But now Xie He is obviously fine, even showing abnormal strength!
None of this is normal...
A stern look gradually appeared in Lance's eyes, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood, staring at Xie He: "You... what did you use?"
How could he, as the prince of the empire, not know something that even Xie He knew? ! Even if he didn't think of it before, he should think of it now... But he didn't want to believe this, Lance looked into Xie He's eyes, and asked again in a cold voice: "What did you use?"
Xie He smiled lightly: "What does it matter what I use? Anyway, you are going to die."
"Do you know the consequences of using potential stimulation potion..." Lance's voice is no longer stable, even trembling... He has already used a gene destroyer on Xie He, and if he forcibly stimulates potential again... it will make the original The unstable gene chain becomes more fragile and will collapse at any time.
He will die.
Xie He stared at him with lowered eyes, and there was a light smile in the deep blue eyes like the blue sea. He raised the corner of his lips, "It's worth it to die with you."
As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger abruptly, blood spattered his face, and then stabbed it in again without hesitation!
Lance was soaked in blood, like a blood man, Xie He's face was reflected in his golden pupils... There was no struggle, no resistance, I don't know if he gave up or had no strength.
He just stared at the person in front of him for a moment.
Nothing could be clearer than this moment.
Xie He could dodge at first, but he didn't. This was not a sudden idea, but a long-planned premeditation, just to wait until he was weak and give him a fatal blow.
He finally understands all this, but... he doesn't feel the slightest surprise, because this is what is taken for granted, isn't it
They were enemies from the beginning to the end, the only thing that changed was that he fell in love with this person, and before he realized it, he put this person in his heart.
The severe pain spread from the chest to the internal organs, and every part of the body was in pain... But it was nothing at all, as long as he thought of the person he cared about, who would give up his life in order to kill him, the pain made him almost numbness.
He wanted him to live, not die here with him.
There was a hail of guns and bullets all around, the sound of the attack was getting closer, and the troops of the Federation and the Empire were surrounding them.
Just as Xie He raised his hand again, he was suddenly pulled up from behind. Sawyer shouted: "Go! The emperor is here!" He hid Xie He behind him, and his arm was shot through by a laser gun! While covering, he pulled Xie He back.
Lance lay on the ground, his vision blurred a little bit.
I could only vaguely see Xie He leaving... further and further away... and finally turned into a small dot. He wanted to reach out to grab it, but he didn't have the strength, and he couldn't even move his fingers.
This is the first time I know what it means to be powerless.
He thought he was capable enough to get anything he could think of, but it was only at this moment that he realized that the person he wanted the most, he couldn't grab it with all his strength.
Even if he broke his wings, imprisoned him with chains, and cut off his retreat... there was no way to keep him.
[Ding, the target Lance favorability is 5, the current favorability is 90]
…………………………
Sawyer took Xie He back while avoiding.
"Why did you come here, Lance must be killed today! Otherwise we will die." Xie He questioned Sawyer.
Sawyer looked at him helplessly, and pressed his shoulder, "Lance is dead, you are just a meaningless sacrifice to stay, I promised Cecil will rescue you."
"I..." Xie He thought of Cecil, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Is he... okay?"
"Don't worry, the federal reinforcements came after you and Lance fell out, and he has been rescued." Sawyer looked at Xie He, "So you can't die here, he is still waiting to see you."
This sentence finally made Xie He no longer resist, and let Sawyer lead him back.
[444: Ah, host, what are you doing, the target cannot be killed/(tot)/~~ If you die, you will have to deduct 90,000 experience points!]
[Xie He: Baby, did you receive the mission notification failure?]
[444: No...]
[Xie He: That means he is not dead. smile jpg]
[444: (⊙o⊙) Oh!]
[Xie He: This kind of evolutionary person is not so easy to die. I was rescued when half of my body was blown up, let alone Lance, who is stronger than Loren, he will not be easily killed. smile jpg]
[444: ... Really?_(:3ゝ∠)_] But I think you are really merciless...
[Xie He: So let’s talk about another question now. From the time Lance was shot until now, your screams have never stopped. I think this kind of behavior that completely interferes with my acting skills should be taken appropriate measures For example, if you do this again next time, you will not be reimbursed for any consumption within three months, how about it?]
[444:...]
[444: I was wrong, host, please forgive me /(tot)/~~ I promise I will stop yelling in the future! real! ! !]
[Xie He: Baby, it doesn't matter if you don't guarantee it, I don't expect that much from you :)]
[444: ... ] So the host actually just wants to save money? I feel like I've lost my love, I feel like I've lost my love qaq
The battle between the two sides was originally stalemate, but suddenly the imperial army began to retreat quickly, presenting a chaotic situation. Although the federal army didn't know what happened, they immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it, gaining the upper hand for a while.
Sawyer took Xie He back to the Federal Army. One of them was the Marshal of the Empire and the other was a traitor to the Empire. Only Cecil knew the truth, so in order to prevent commotion and unnecessary trouble, he and Xie He switched to the Federal Army Military uniforms, sneaked into the Federation starship, and then returned to the room Cecil had prepared for them.
Xie He looked outside through the glass with serious eyes.
Sawyer stood behind him and said: "Lance is dead, the imperial army has no leader, and the remaining officers will face terrible punishment from the royal family. They have no intention of fighting, so they retreat. We won this battle. "
"I won..." Xie He murmured, and then slowly smiled, "That's good."
He paid such a price, countless federal soldiers shed blood, isn't it just for victory? So it's good to win, even if it's just a battle. They will win many more times... One day, the dream will come true.
He should have been very happy and joyful, but for some reason, the last face of Lance flashed before his eyes, and his mood was a little complicated...
This is really ridiculous, if it wasn't for this person, he wouldn't have fallen to that situation at all, and he didn't need him to save him, he destroyed everything about him... but in a blink of an eye, he gave him the affection he didn't need at all.
Xie He's eyelashes trembled, and the last trace of complex color in his eyes was thrown away, and his eyes were firmly covered again.
He is not a slave! Never will be.
So he doesn't need Lance to pay for him at all, and he doesn't need the love of the master for the slave at all.
Finally escaped from the clutches of the empire and successfully killed Lance, Xie He finally relaxed, he smiled at Sawyer, "I have always been curious, why did you betray the empire? To be honest, when you came to me I was absolutely amazed."
There was a gloomy and painful look in Sawyer's eyes when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Xie He quickly said: "Sorry, if it is inconvenient to say, please don't answer. My question is too abrupt." Everyone who resists the empire must have deep wounds in his heart. He and Sawyer are not the same. Unfamiliar, indeed a bit presumptuous.
Sawyer looked at Xie He, his eyes were dark, he is not a person who likes to confide in others, there are some things he has never said to anyone, and no one can say, but facing Xie He at this moment, he suddenly has a desire Confidential*.
It was probably because they both carried heavy burdens. If this person was Xie He, he would be willing to tell his story.
"No, there is no inconvenience, I just don't know how to organize the language for a while." Sawyer smiled, "It was too long ago."
"That's right, you have provided us with information for many years." Xie He laughed jokingly.
Sawyer laughed uncontrollably, "Before that, because I also hesitated and struggled for many years before I finally made a decision."
"I have a younger sister. My younger sister and I are both my father's illegitimate children. At that time, my father's heir passed away unexpectedly, so I thought of taking me and my younger sister back." Sawyer showed a look of reminiscence, "My younger sister is a very gentle and lovely girl. Girl, we are dependent on each other, I am much older than her, she is like my daughter... But we were attacked by star robbers on the way back and were forced to separate."
"My father desperately needed an heir. At that time, the men he sent could only save one person, and they chose to save me without hesitation."
"After I went back, I asked him to send someone to rescue my sister, but he was always perfunctory, and soon no one cared about it. I could only give up temporarily and work hard to cultivate my power in the family until after his death. Finally taking control of the entire family, I began to send people to search for my sister, and I finally found it after a few years."
When Sawyer said this, his dark eyes were covered with intense sorrow, but his tone was always calm, "When I found her, I killed her with my own hands."
"After she was lost, she was sold by the Star Thief to a small nobleman on a colonial planet as a slave. At that time, she no longer knew me, and she became a complete slave... I think death is a kind of relief for her."
"So, I killed her."
Sawyer finally stopped, he found that his hand was trembling slightly at some point, and then a warm hand took his. He raised his eyes and fell into those dark blue eyes, which seemed to have a warm light that melted the coldness in his heart.
"I understand." Xie He said, "If she still remembers you, she will definitely thank you."
"Really..." Sawyer's smile was a little astringent.
"Yes, if one day I become like that, I definitely hope that someone can kill me, and I will thank him." Xie He said seriously.
Sawyer looked at him fixedly, his lips moved, "Thank you."
[Ding, Sawyer's favorability is 10, and the current favorability is 90]
In fact, he has never said these words to anyone. He has no way to tell his family. His family is all imperial nobles who regard human life as nothing. He also has no way to say it to people from the Federation, because he has been alone Fighting, he will not tell his subordinates, because he needs to maintain his mighty majesty.
He has seen the filth of the empire with his own eyes, the rotten huge empire, the ugliness of the intertwined...
These people have taken enslaving others as a matter of course since birth.
He has no way to annihilate his conscience and join them.
So he chose to stand up and resist.
[444: Huh... This favorability is easy to gain.]
[Xie He: It's understandable. Being in a relationship is nothing more than talking about the outlook on life, the world, and love. I gave him an outlet to confide, and I gave him the answer he wanted, a proper confidant. Life is too hard to talk to, and it’s not good to hold back for too long. His difficulty is just that he doesn’t want to talk to ordinary people, and I just made him willing to talk. smile jpg]
[444:...]
[Xie He: It is an unchanging truth that communication enhances feelings:)]
This kind of man who looks very strong and aloof, once he is willing to open his heart to someone, it is easy to increase his favorability, and he will not change his heart easily.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire and explosions outside gradually subsided, and the imperial army finally retreated. The Federation successfully repelled them and occupied this large star field.
After a while Cecil came back.
He stood at the door and looked at Xie He, with intense emotions brewing in his eyes, and suddenly strode over and hugged Xie He in his arms, his voice trembling: "You are back..."
Xie He was also a little excited, this is his trusted comrade-in-arms, when everyone didn't believe him, he always believed him and supported him.
He has never been disappointed once.
"Yes, I'm back, I'm sorry for worrying you." Xie He smiled softly.
"I shouldn't have let you go in the first place." Cecil stared deeply into his eyes with strong affection, but fortunately I finally saw you again... This time, I will never let you fall into that kind of situation again Dangerous situation!
[Ding, Cecil's favorability is 5, and the current favorability is 95]
Sawyer stood aside, suddenly feeling that this scene was a bit glaring, but he didn't have a position to say anything, he just turned his head to the side and stopped looking. Cecil's feelings for Xie He, probably only Xie He can't see it... Then what about his feelings for him? He probably didn't see it either.
Yes... He couldn't deny that he fell in love with this man unknowingly.
His unyielding side, warm side, firm eyes, and smiling face all made him so eager to be attached to him.
There had never been a person who had caught his attention so dazzlingly.
Xie He didn't seem to notice Sawyer's abnormality at all. He was still immersed in the joy of seeing his old friend again, and was about to say something when suddenly a palpitating chill spread to his limbs, his hands and feet suddenly lost strength, and his chest felt nauseated , Wow spit out a big mouthful of blood.
Blood spat on Cecil's chest, staining his white clothes... Xie He showed an apologetic expression, his lips moved, but he didn't make any sound, his eyes closed and went limp.
Cecil was stunned for a moment, why... wasn't he fine just now? Why is this happening all of a sudden? !
Sawyer reacted first, and his expression changed drastically. This is because the effect of the medicine has disappeared! He reached out and picked up Xie He directly, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the medical room?!"
…………………………
[Xie He: How is my physical condition? baby.]
[444: You have been in a coma for three days, and your physical condition is still deteriorating. The current federal medical technology cannot delay the decline of your body. According to this level, you can last for about 20 days.]
[Xie He: Okay, I see. smile jpg]
[444: Why are you in no hurry, there are only twenty days left! qaq]
[Xie He: Twenty days is enough for Lance to recover. He will find a way to save me. The technology of the empire is much more advanced. I think I can persist until his favorability is full. :)]
[444:...]
They have already left the Stan star field, which is an important base of the federation, with the best medical facilities in the entire federation, but it can't delay the injury of this kind of rout from the genetic level.
Cecil stared at the people on the hospital bed through the glass, clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly turned around without warning and punched Sawyer!
Sawyer didn't hide, he touched his chin, his eyes were silent.
"Why did you give him that kind of medicine! Don't you know that it will kill him!" Cecil looked at Sawyer bitterly, his hands trembling.
Sawyer didn't refute, but said calmly and slowly: "Then why did you post that video, don't you know that it will make him a spy of the Empire forever?"
Sawyer's calm words made Cecil suddenly lose his strength.
Yes... why did he do that, because he didn't want to let Xie He's heart go to waste, and he didn't want to let him down in pain. And Sawyer did it out of the same idea as him, they are doing their best to fulfill Xie He's wishes...
However, all these sent him to a dead end, and he died helplessly bearing the reputation of a traitor...
They killed him...
Cecil slammed his fist against the wall so hard his knuckles were bloody, he shouldn't blame Sawyer, Sawyer was right. He just couldn't face such a result... couldn't face Xie He's death.
Sawyer's gaze fell on the person on the hospital bed. Although his expression and words were always calm, who knew the pain in his heart
Many years ago, he lost his dependent sister.
This time, just after falling in love with someone, she was about to lose him again.
He is always losing important people and things in his life. The culprit of all this is the damn empire! The empire must be destroyed!
… … … … … … …
Although Xie He regained consciousness, his body was very weak, and it took another two days before he finally woke up.
When he woke up, he saw Cecil standing beside his bed, seemingly asleep. He raised his hand and lightly touched Cecil's shoulder, and Cecil woke up immediately. Looking at him in surprise: "You're awake..."
Xie He showed a slightly pale smile, "Yes."
Cecil looked at him, his gray eyes were full of sadness, his lips trembled slightly, as if he didn't know where to start.
Xie He's expression was very calm, even a little relaxed and comfortable, "I know, it's okay, don't be sad."
Cecil's eyes turned red all of a sudden, not sad, how could he not be sad...
"Do you still remember what you said to me when you rescued me... You said, don't die easily, we still have to live to see the day when the empire is destroyed... to see everyone regain their freedom..." Cecil He said word by word, holding Xie He's hand tightly, his voice trembling, "You said that you want to live together..."
Xie He's expression seemed to freeze for a moment, then he smiled, held Cecil's hand behind his back, and smiled: "Then I can only ask you to look for me, you will promise me, right?"
I am willing to agree to all your requests, I only hope that you can live, but this is impossible, isn't it...
Cecil stared at Xie He's eyes, pain seized his heart.
Xie He's health is very poor, basically unable to walk, and can only travel in a wheelchair.
He can't go too far, at most he just walks around the garden near the medical room, Cecil knows that Xie's days are numbered. Most of the time is here with him, chatting about past things.
One day Xie He suddenly said to him: "Do you still remember the room I had in the federal base, which contained some of my personal belongings?"
Cecil said: "I remember, I put them away for you."
Xie He looked at him gratefully, "Thank you."
Cecil's voice was bitter, "You don't need to thank me, because I..." He paused, and said, "Because I'm your best friend, isn't it?"
Xie He said seriously: "Yes! You are my best friend."
Cecil smiled, let him bury that kindness in his heart. He didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Xie He in the last days.
Xie He said: "In the third drawer of my cabinet, there is a bottle in it. There are the seeds of the blueling grass that I brought out from my hometown. It is a unique plant in our Seablue Star Domain. It is very beautiful. It is a pity I haven't been able to find a suitable planting site and haven't had the time to…”
"If one day we win, can you plant them for me?" Xie He Dingding looked at him.
Cecil nodded, "I will definitely do it."
Xie He Wenyan seemed to let go of his last thoughts, with a gentle look on his face, as if thinking of some happy past events, "That's great... It's a pity I can't see it..."
Cecil's throat choked, and he gently grabbed Xie He's hand.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end nothing came out...
At this moment, Cecil's adjutant suddenly rushed in with a panicked expression, "Lord Cecil, it's bad!"
Cecil turned his head, looked cold, and said in a cold voice: "What's the matter?" He had already told the idlers not to come in casually, and he didn't want Xie He to bear the questioning eyes of others in his last days! And someone disturbed his peace!
The adjutant's face turned pale, and he explained again and again: "The emperor is here! They have besieged us and sent a message!"
Cecil stood up, "I'll go out and listen."
The adjutant didn't move, he hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "That communication is for Lord Loren, and the signature is—Lance." When he said the name, his face was pale and terrified.
Cecil's expression froze, he looked at him in disbelief, and said coldly, "What did you say?"
