Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Chapter 88 [Phoenix Spreads Wings]

There was an explosion sound in the distance, and the heat wave caused by the energy flames shook the universe, and the flames that devoured the space station dyed the ribbon nebula into a shocking blood color. It seemed that the illusion of tranquility that had been deposited in the depths of the galaxy for a long time was finally torn away. The veil was removed, revealing the hideous cracks that had been baptized by the flames of war.

The metal remains shattered into slag drift away slowly, and the plasma condenses into a trembling liquid sphere, as if all the tragic fights and sacrifices have been diluted by a vacuum, leaving only a slow and long-lasting pain, which will eventually be buried in the depths of the nebula over time. of darkness.

A few kilometers away, the three mechas held each other in check, and none of them intended to take the lead, but instead fell into a strange relative stillness.

The internal network of the Imperial Communications was already in chaos. On the one hand, Su Shichuan was distracted and came out to eavesdrop on the strategic deployment and convey the useful information to Cang Xingyun in time. guy.

At this moment, Gui Xun suddenly raised a few positions, and faced the gray-blue mecha driven by Xifa head-to-head.

Feng Chen said: "I thought who it was, it turned out to be the little prince who defected from our Luo Yin Empire." He spoke calmly, and his voice was flat and straight, with obvious contempt and provocation in it, "Long time no see, Third Highness, I never expected to be lucky enough to meet you on the battlefield."

The voice was captured verbatim by the audio system and transmitted to the other two mechas in the same area in real time.Su Shichuan sighed from the bottom of his heart, afraid that the next sentence would be offensive and the two would fight directly, so he hurriedly followed Feng Chen and stood between him and Xifa.The Xuanhuang body turned around, with its back facing Guisu, and it was facing the gray-blue mecha.

The two mechas confronted each other, separated by a spatial distance, but the intelligent system had already fought one step ahead.

Inside the gray-blue mecha, the display light screen takes Xuanhuang as the analysis target, and the marking lines lead out to mark the numerical results of each part of the opponent's body one by one.In a short while, the basic indicators were clear at a glance. Xifa leaned back against the driver's seat, his eyes locked on the silver-white mecha close in front of him, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the indestructible defensive shell, examining the indestructible body of the person he knew. The known side.

"Your Highness," the voice of the intelligent body sounded, and the phoenix reminded at the right time, "It is of the same kind. The Mecha Xuanhuang driven by Admiral Su is equipped with an intelligent system similar to mine. The analysis results show that it should also be designed by the doctor, but it is very strange. ..."

Withdrawing his gaze, Xifa glanced down at the consciousness attached to his arm, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Phoenix hesitated and said: "Xuanhuang's central control intelligent system was born in the 429th year of the Milky Way calendar, that is, 29 years later, but it actually exists."

Xifa was startled, and then looked at the light display screen again: "You mean, a mecha born in the future appeared before the time of system initialization?"

"That's right." Phoenix said.

Xifa remained silent, his brows furrowed little by little, and he murmured in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "Who the hell is Shi Chuan?"

At the same time, Xuanhuang's voice channel opened, and Su Shichuan said: "Didn't I give Xingyun instructions earlier not to let you hinder Fengchen, I wonder if he notified you?"

Hearing this, Xifa temporarily dispelled the thoughts in his mind, and replied calmly: "I heard." He raised his eyes, looked past the Xuanhuang, and looked at the ghost house guarded behind, "But I think there is a loophole in this plan, so I plan to come over and help improve it."

As soon as these words came out, the other two present were immediately surprised.

Su Shichuan knew Xifa too well, and he could tell from his tone that this guy had selfish intentions, but he deliberately didn't point it out, and just replied: "Really, let's talk about it first?"

Xifa: "The space station fell, the fourth knight was assassinated and died, and the survivors escaped from the siege without even taking any injuries. Isn't that inappropriate? Shi Chuan, what do you think my second brother will think?"

"It's a trivial matter." Su Shichuan smiled clearly, "Ah Chen has a sense of proportion, and the superficial work that should be done will not be missed."

"How can that be done?" Xifa questioned, "Self-injury is easy to leave a loophole, and Admiral Feng Chen doesn't seem to want to leave that much, otherwise he will pester you endlessly." After the words fell, Phoenix stretched out his long arms , suddenly drew out the lightsaber, and Xifa said again, "Since this is the case, why not leave the war damage as a souvenir for the general, so that today's defeat and fleeing seem natural."

This statement is full of insinuations and provocations.Feng Chen smiled when he heard that, instead of being angry, he said in a deep voice: "The Third Highness reminded me that it's really not right to return empty-handed, I have to bring back 'souvenirs', such as the little girl who fled from the Luo Yin Empire when he treasoned. Prince."

"Wait!" Su Shichuan said anxiously, "That's a smart mech, and the ghost house doesn't belong to him at all—"

However, before he could finish speaking, Gui Su separated Xuanhuang who was blocking in front of him, and directly attacked the opponent with the heavy sword in his hand.The phoenix's light wings trembled, and its volley figure calmly avoided the blow, and then the lightsaber swept out, intercepting Guisu's black gold epee at an extremely tricky angle.

The two mechs clashed brazenly, the scorching blade of the lightsaber glowing with bright blue fluorescence, biting with the sharp edge of the epee.In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the flowing electric current wrapped around Guisu's mechanical arm like a snake.And Feng Chen didn't seem to notice it, he controlled the mecha without giving up half a point, and at the same time raised the hand cannon, the muzzle was directly aimed at the head of the phoenix, and it was a direct shot.

Su Shichuan was shocked, and subconsciously blurted out a reminder: "Xifa be careful!"

With a loud "boom", the air wave scattered.

The close hand-to-hand combat between the mechanical giants is earth-shattering, coupled with such a close-range particle cannon attack, it is a self-mutilation method that hurts both sides.The two mechs were forced to separate, and were shaken tens of meters away by the shock wave. The phoenix avoided the vital point on its own, leaving only a burnt mark on the shoulder. The ghost house was also affected, and the mechanical arm equipped with a hand cannon covered in wounds.

The two sides stabilized their bodies, and then stepped forward again without saying much.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanhuang twisted his body and thrust in, forcibly stopping the two of them one by one, and the three collided with each other!

Fengchen Xifa was already on the rise, and he didn't expect to be stopped suddenly.

Su Shichuan was about to be laughed at by these two lunatics. He manipulated Xuanhuang to release Xifa's phoenix first, but continued to block its attack line with his body.Then Xuanhuang pulled out the lightsaber, flipped his wrist, and the sword rotated in its hand for a circle, the next moment it was suddenly clenched by the backhand, and it stabbed into the ghost's chest with the help of the extremely awkward posture.

That was a special position that was precisely positioned. The lightsaber pierced through the body of the mecha, but did not hurt the most important cab, but destroyed the energy center diagonally below in one fell swoop.

The energy fluid leaked, and the system immediately issued a warning, and the red light in the cab flashed.Feng Chen's brows were tightened, his hands on the console involuntarily clenched into fists, his eyes turned from startled to cold, and finally returned to an unchanging cold silence, firmly locked on the mecha that belonged to the "crow" superior.

"What does it mean?"

"Shichuan, get out of the way!"

The two people who were affected by the situation of the battle spoke at the same time, and kept silent at the same time.

Su Shichuan didn't answer in a hurry, but manipulated Xuanhuang to bend the mechanical arm that was not holding the lightsaber, and directly elbowed the phoenix on the head without looking at it.

This blow was full of force, and the shock caused by the collision of high-density alloys can be imagined. Xifa and his little mecha were blinded together.

"The sword stabbed at Gui Su, do you think it was to protect you?" Su Shichuan said lightly, "If you dare to act impulsively and ignore my words, be careful, I will destroy your car directly!" Su Shichuan He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

"..." Phoenix, who felt his life was threatened, trembled, "Your Highness... Your Majesty?"

Xifa didn't answer, and skillfully pretended to be dead, and even more honestly waved away the entangled little tentacles, meaning that I can't do anything about this, you can do it yourself.

Xiaoniao, who was determined to be sold by the owner as a teammate, was hit hard. Xuanhuang took advantage of the opportunity and enlightened it to understand current affairs as a mecha. The decision shall prevail, otherwise it will be easy to be destroyed.

On the other side, after teaching the little bastard at home, Su Shichuan looked at Guisu again, and said calmly, "Ah Chen, you don't need to think too much, I just remind you to leave as soon as possible."

Feng Chen was noncommittal and did not speak.

Su Shichuan said again: "The imperial garrison has no general, so it cannot be the alliance's opponent. I only promise you to give your people the chance to die generously, but I don't intend to leave you here to accompany them to die in battle or become a prisoner of the alliance. At this point, he paused slightly, as if giving the other party time to weigh, and then he spoke again after a while, "The situation within the alliance is complicated, and I only have a half-knowledge of Rex's attitude. The space station does not mean that he will completely trust me."

"To put it bluntly, the alliance is ultimately in the hands of him alone. If you don't leave at this time, it's not impossible to get away when they realize your existence. It's just that in front of so many eyes, let me Let you go, Dust, have you thought about it for me, how should I explain my behavior to Rex?"

Feng Chen remained silent, but Gui Su suddenly raised his heavy sword and pointed it directly at Xuanhuang's heart.

"You said you would assassinate Rex and return to the Luo Yin Empire, can I still believe you?"

"Of course," Su Shichuan said, "and it won't take long."

Feng Chen: "Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back." After finishing the sentence, Gui Su clenched Xuanhuang's arm in vain, and drew out the lightsaber.

"Don't forget what I told you." Su Shichuan said.

"I can't forget it." Feng Chen said, "Besides, I always wanted to know, even if it was for myself, I would go and find out for myself."

The battle at the space station lasted for more than ten hours that day, and most of the imperial garrisons were wiped out, and a few were captured alive.In order to prevent accidents, the alliance reintegrated the two air teams and gathered follow-up reinforcements to fully take over the nearly ruined space station.The interim person in charge handed over the searched important information and the body of the fourth knight Auman to His Highness the Crown Prince, and then the troops were divided into two groups, one team stayed and the other team set off to return.

Three days later, the alliance's home planet, Sirius.

When we arrived at the military headquarters, it was in the middle of the night, and the control center was brightly lit, and everyone was ready to receive the first batch of escorted prisoners.

The whole process was quick and orderly. The handover was completed by Xifa and the current head of the military department. Su Shichuan put on a mask and became the "crow" who was assisting His Highness the Crown Prince in the eyes of the uninitiated, quietly following Xifa.This scene has long been taken for granted by outsiders in the past ten years. Everyone knows that the leader of the "No Name" is a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but they will never think that the guy who is now covered by a mask is silent changed one.

At the end of the handover, Auman's body was lifted off the aircraft and temporarily put in a place out of the way, waiting for centralized processing.

Su Shichuan caught a glimpse of this scene inadvertently. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over slowly and stopped beside the simple platform where the corpse was placed, and stretched out his hand to lift off the white dustproof cloth covering Auman's face.Not far away, Xifa, who had been paying attention to Su Shichuan since he noticed Su Shichuan's departure, couldn't help but startled, but because the person in charge of the military department still had details to ask, it was inconvenient to come and accompany him, so he only took a second look, and then put his mind on it again. Back to business.

The footsteps behind him stopped, and Su Shichuan didn't turn his head back, but he seemed to guess who was coming, and said unhurriedly: "It is possible that the equipment for obtaining information has been transferred to the intelligence department. I thought the general would organize it overnight I didn’t expect to come over in person for the investigation work.”

Brant was dressed in formal attire, standing with his hands behind his back, and his standing posture was extremely standard.His gaze crossed Su Shichuan's shoulder, and landed on Auman's face impartially: "You should be able to guess that I came in place of the commander in chief. He is very satisfied with the results of this operation, so I must personally Let me tell you, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Shichuan opened his mouth and said the rest for him: "It's just that you didn't take action in advance?"

Brant smiled: "The emperor's tutor is really tight."

"This is really a compliment." Su Shichuan said lightly, "Actually, it happened suddenly, and I happened to meet an opportunity suitable for action, but I'm afraid you won't believe it when I tell it, so just treat it as my secret arrangement." gone."

Both of them were born in intelligence work, and no one has fewer fox tails than the other. When dealing with the information in the other's mouth, no matter what it hears, it is almost an instinctive behavior to put question marks.Brant didn't express his opinion, he just pretended that he didn't hear anything, and he naturally prepared a set of words for Rex in his heart, otherwise he couldn't expect to get an answer from Su Shichuan, right?

That's too naive.

It's a pity that it was actually the old fox who seldom told the truth, but encountered a crisis of trust brought about by his career.Su Shichuan knew from the reaction that Brant ignored his explanation, but it didn't matter what the reason was, so the two of them kept silent, and this article was over.

I don't know how long it took, but Brandt almost stared at Auman's dead face, and then spit out another sentence: "Actually, there is a 'just'."

Su Shichuan followed the example of kindness, and said, "Just let Feng Chen escape?"

Brant gave a very heavy "hmm", but what he was thinking was that this guy really can hold his breath, and if he can't even mention the transaction conditions, he still has to ask him, what about the Empire? Corrupt elements of intelligence really do not welcome people to see.

"I'm sorry, you can ask His Highness later." Su Shichuan said.

Brandt was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Su Shichuan thought of the disobedient little bastard at home, so he simply pinned the hard-to-explain blame on him: "Because the person who fought against Feng Chen at that time was not me, but your Royal Highness, it seems that the Commander-in-Chief is not good at teaching, In actual combat, he was put on by an experienced general."

Brandt: "..."

This reason is 100% irrefutable, and there is no way to question it. Brandt weighed himself and reported the first half of the sentence, leaving the second half of the outrageous content to his rotten stomach.

"Is there anything else?" After asking, Su Shichuan turned to look at him.

The eyes of the two met, and Brandt quickly glanced at the mask on this guy's face, and then looked at those eyes. Only then could he be sure that this "crow" was really different from the other "crow". other.

"Auman did it by you?" He said suddenly.

Su Shichuan was startled, and then looked at the corpse next to him.

Rex is strict in running the army, and the quality of his subordinates is so high that no fault can be found. Although the two armies are hostile, the alliance's approach after collecting Auman's body is very appropriate.The cut in his neck has been carefully stitched up, the blood has been scrubbed clean, and even the stain on his uniform has been cleaned.

Su Shichuan covered the white cloth back, turned around and looked at Brant again: "Yes, what's the problem?"

"The wound is beautiful." Brant said sincerely, "If you hadn't entered the military department in the empire back then, you would have been able to rank in the black market employment list, and your worth might not be lower than that of Bansha."

Su Shichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Brandt calmed down and said, "A top-notch assassin can not only kill with one blow, but also brutally kill the prey within seconds. You tore two-thirds of his neck. It must be very painful for him. of."

Su Shichuan smiled and said nothing, Brant stared at him silently for a few seconds, and said again: "Is there any deep hatred?"

"That's right." Su Shichuan said.

"Really?" Brant was a little surprised. "Auman has been stationed in the space station for more than ten years. I thought you had never seen it."

"Of course I have." Eyelashes lifted slightly, Su Shichuan squinted at Xifa's back, "It's because he listened to Cisse too much, he said back then that he wouldn't rescue him if he didn't, I was just paying for it .”

After hearing this, Brant took it for granted that it was Auman's fault, Su Shichuan, so he didn't ask any more questions, but asked, "What's next?"

"Go back to the church, we still have some internal matters to explain." Su Xingchuan looked at Brant, "It's good to just speak up if you have something to say."

"It's not a big deal." Brant said truthfully, "The concubine's birthday will be held next weekend as usual, and His Highness will definitely attend. The commander ordered me to formally invite you. If possible, you must go back to the Seven Stars Hall then."

Su Shichuan was startled: "Xifa's biological mother?"

"It seems that His Highness has already told you." Brant said.

"Yes." Su Shichuan answered thoughtfully, "It's really a surprise that the princess is still alive."

"That's all I want to say." Brandt said, "The intelligence department has to work overtime recently, so I will leave first."

Su Shichuan nodded slightly: "Master, go slowly."
