84. Kite (middle)

If someone is born to be the winner, then someone is born to be the loser.

Du is such a person.

He was born in a dirty dark alley on Hua Street. He was abandoned from the moment he was born. He should have died but was discovered. He was sent to the Public Security Bureau by some damn kind-hearted person and then sent to the orphanage. From then on, he began his failed life.

He was stupid, ugly, and not good at socializing. The combination of several things meant that his childhood would always be bullied. After graduating from junior high school, he chose to go to technical school, where he was lucky to meet a girl who was willing to make friends with him. Although the other party was not beautiful, he was gentle, smart and skillful, and never disliked him for being bad. On the eve of graduation, he mustered up the greatest courage in his life to propose to her. Although she was a little surprised, she still agreed with a smile.

He thought he could be happy, but reality gave him another cruel slap.

After graduation, he tried his best to find a job that could support two people. He followed the mine ship to mine star for excavation and left the imperial capital. It was very hard. The room assigned to them on the boat was less than ten square meters, but he believed that everything would be better. However, when he returned to her with the good news of being hired, he heard that she was sold to Huajie by her stepfather.

Her stepfather has been waiting for this opportunity. Minors are under the surveillance and protection of the Public Security Bureau. Once they disappear or are injured, they will attract investigations and intervention from security officials. However, adults are not within the scope of protection. The surveillance light brain of the Public Security Bureau will automatically delete the adult target from the protection list. He could not find her stepfather, so he could only go to Huajie to find out her whereabouts. Finally, he heard from a broker that a very ordinary person like her was mostly sold to a special prostitute ship, taken to the mining star or the front line, and provide services to those miners or soldiers who are not picky and hungry and have red eyes.

He boarded the mine ship and began to drift in the universe as a miner. Larger mineral stars usually take three or four years to mine, while smaller ones are enough. He has been looking for her, but there has been no news. The universe is too big, and in the end what he can do is nothing more than wasting his time.

After drifting for more than 30 years, his body could no longer withstand the high-intensity work of the miners. With the help of the mine captain, he returned to the imperial capital and became an energy pipeline repairman. He wanted to die over and end this failed and hopeless life, but death also required great courage, and he was a coward, and he had always been.

Until he received an email, a stranger on the email asked him: Do you want to see Lee?

Lee is her name.

In order to make him believe, the other party sent him a photo of her. Although he was no longer young, he still recognized her at a glance. At that moment, his life suddenly became meaningful again. The stranger in the email promised that as long as he did what the other party said, he would tell him where she was.

He was unprecedented and full of courage. No matter what the other party asked him to do, he would do it.

"So, I rarely come to the imperial capital, but I had to stay in the basement for a month. Just to solve the problem of being a guy like you?"

The young man with conspicuous blonde hair and wrapped his forehead with a marching belt was sitting on a chair. Under his feet was Du, who had just wanted to escape but was knocked down by him. The young man admired the other party's courage to run away with a gun. Could it be that he was sure that he would not kill him?

Another burly figure walked in from outside the door, frowned and looked at Du, who was still struggling on the ground, and said to the young man: "Stop playing, I'll give you thirty minutes and pry his mouth open."

After saying that, he walked out again. The young man rolled his eyes, picked up Du on the ground, and grinned.

"Hey, how much cook do you like to eat steak?"

On September 20, 801, the Great Light Palace is holding a three-year Light Celebration.

Lu Hailan changed into black casual clothes and asked Zhu Yan to arrange a car to the Great Light Palace. He wanted to go to the scene to watch the Light Celebration. The person in the mirror looked a little thin on his cheeks, and there was a blue gray under his nose. During this period, he was often busy until the early morning and hadn't eaten up all three meals. He almost used up the energy accumulated in his body, and the result was this bad look.

"Your Highness, if you allow it, I want to accompany you."

Zhu Yan stood aside with his hands in his arms, and asked in a low voice with a respectful look. For a moment, Lu Hailan showed a strange look, and then sneered and waved his hand, "It's up to you to like."

As usual, He Shan drove in front, Zhu Yan and Lu Hailan sat side by side in the back row, and several guards followed in another small car. Two small cars left the palace one by one, and Lu Hailan in the middle of the carriage opened the live broadcast of the Guangming Celebration. The entire Great Guangming Palace has become a sea of ​​people, and the designated viewing area is densely filled with people from all over the world. Thousands of white-robed monks in the square were closing their eyes and warning themselves. The scene was quiet and solemn.

The car drove onto the high-speed transmission belt, and the closer it was to the Daguangming Palace, the traffic became denser. Many vehicles lined up to block the entrances of each high-speed transmission belt, and had to wait there because there was no empty transmission platform. He Shan investigated the road conditions ahead through the monitoring system of the Imperial Guards and reported: "Your Highness, the four exits closest to the Daguangming Palace in Yutian District have been temporarily closed. We may have to go around from the direction of Baifeng District."

Lu Hailan nodded, showed an unknown smile, and said, "There are so many people."

Old Eunuch Zhu held his hands and lowered his head, his eyes were watched with his nose and nose, and his heart was silent.

After getting off the high-speed transmission belt, the road became more and more congested. The lane was temporarily blocked, and everyone had to get off the car and walk on the pedestrian transmission belt next to it. After asking for the consent of passerby Hailan, He Shan simply drove the car into the air lane dedicated to security personnel and rushed past people's heads with privileges.

A warm sound suddenly broke out at the live broadcast scene in the light screen. Accompanied by the shouts of "Long live the Emperor", a brightly dressed guard of imperial guards walked into the square in neat steps. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire stood in the chariot behind, smiling and waving to the people from all directions.

Lu Hailan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He Shan, stop the car." He ordered.

Two small cars landed on the roof platform beside them. Lu Hailan got out of the car, stood on the edge of the roof and looked down. Zhu Yan slowly walked behind him and whispered: "Your Highness, are you waiting for something?"

Lu Hailan didn't say anything, but after a while, he turned around and looked at Zhu Yan.

The old man showed a helpless and tolerant look and whispered: "Your Highness, stop."

Lu Hailan smiled.

"I haven't asked you," he said, "If my father and I had to choose one side, who would you choose."

Zhu Yan was silent.

"I don't want to be an emperor." Lu Hailan said, "I have no interest in ruling the empire, and I don't think there is anything to be happy about being called by the population. When there is time, I want to go out for a trip, bring a book, and you, build a spaceship without a destination, just walk around casually... Maybe you will meet new partners on the road, maybe someone will leave, and if you are tired of walking, you will find a place to live for a while."

“The universe is so big.”

“That’s all I want.”

A gust of wind blew across the roof, blew up Lu Hailan's black hair on his temples. He put his hands into the pocket of his coat, raised his head slightly, and looked at the clear blue sky above his head.

"But as long as that person is there, my little ideal will never be realized, isn't it?"

……………………

The young blonde man with blood on his face lit a cigarette, and the door was pushed open again, and several figures entered one after another. The strong man who had been there before asked, "Have you asked?"

"We may be in trouble this time." The young man bit the flue and looked at the only woman in the room. "Alan, if, I mean, if there is a problem with the energy pipeline under our feet, such as an explosion, will the consequences be serious?"

"If it is just a problem with individual pipelines, the main control light brain will immediately evacuate the nearby energy network, so it will not cause major accidents." A woman named Alan calmly explained, "All underground energy pipelines are continuously inspected and maintained by self-discipline machines. Each section also has a dedicated human manager, and the average probability of accidents is less than one in ten thousand. Even if someone wants to do anything, there is a 24-hour monitoring of the main control light brain. Any illogical behavior will be stopped immediately."

The blonde young man kicked Du, who was no longer in human form under his feet, and said, "This guy is just a pipe repairman."

"What did he do?" Alan asked.

"I don't know, but someone asked him to enter a program into a self-discipline machine." The blonde young man opened the light brain, called out a small program package, and sent it to Alan. The latter opened it and looked at it, and in the next second he instantly crushed his portable light brain terminal.

Everyone was startled, especially the blonde young man who had just sent the program package. He hesitated to look at the optical brain terminal on his wrist, wondering if he should have followed suit.

"It's a virus." Alan said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't open it. It's very contagious. I need a black box to analyze it."

While the two were talking, the strong man just raised his wrist, looked at the text message received from Guangming, frowned and said, "There is bad news. The goat deciphered two more emails, and we have a new goal."

"I finally feel that I'm not here to squat in the basement." The blonde young man Nian Mianyan stood up, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty luster, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
