The alloy of the wooden box can not only isolate the detection of the outside world, but also the mental force cannot penetrate from the inside unless the alloy is forcibly destroyed.
This is similar to the feeling that the spiritual power of Xiyuan was suppressed by toxins before the starship crashed.
His mental strength was very easy to get out of control, and the closed state at this moment made him a little irritable, and he regretted agreeing to Qi Li to hide in the wooden box.
Those mechanic soldiers who came here are not afraid at all. What can they do if they are found?
The communicator he gave to Qi Li has not been repaired. The signal connection of Loren Mercury is too poor, the equipment is old and fails. I don't know if the communication sent by the ordinary receiver can be sent out smoothly.
Make some noise, which may also attract the attention of the outside world.
As for Ruan Qiu, his origin is still doubtful, and Xi Yuan can ignore him.
But when he saw Ruan Qiu's timid and pitiful appearance, Xi Yuan's irritability and impatience dissipated a lot, and replaced it with another idea.
Like the beautiful bird he snatched back in the past, he always attracted his attention with his call and fed some food to return to quiet.
Ruan Qiu is the same. He will flatter his brother, because he wants to eat small round cakes and wants to stay.
He is afraid now and needs to be appeased.
So Xi Yuan only thought about it for a second and took him over.
The two hugged each other, and the narrow space in the wooden box became much more spacious.
The air is a little thin, and faint light penetrates through the cracks in the boards.
In his ear was a strange heartbeat and breathing, mixed with his own. Ruan Qiu walked away for a short time.
He thought he would be uncomfortable, but he was really relieved when he leaned in the arms of the abyss.
There is no doubt that such a posture is intimate, but when Xi Yuan touches his hair, Ruan Qiu always feels like he is giving his pet hair.
In short, there is no intention, which is different from the eyes of the three people who looked at him yesterday.
There are footsteps in a hurry in the yard. It should be Qi Li.
A circling wind sounded from far to near, and a familiar mechanical sound sounded in the direction of the gate.
"Registered residents: Qi Li, the residence permit has not expired."
"Registered resident: Zhao Jiang, the residence permit has not expired."
The two mechanics scanned the faces of Qi Li and Zhao Jiang respectively, and then one of them entered the yard and inspected the rooms.
There is also a suspended circular mechanical sphere at high altitude, and the round hole at the bottom projects blue light, sweeping across the ground inch by inch.
Another mechanical soldier stayed at the door and raised the black scan screen.
"Ding to the recent vicious incidents such as civilian casualties, suspected smuggling of black households, and attacks by mechanical soldiers, the second comprehensive investigation is under way. Please understand."
The mechanical soldier's screen flashed and continued to say, "If there is any suspicious discovery, please inform the management office in time. Do not make extreme actions such as shielding and hiding. Violators will bear the consequences."
At the same time, the mechanics in the yard crossed the corridor to the location of the wooden box.
The sound of the roller sliding was getting closer and closer, and Ruan Qiu couldn't help holding his breath and clenched a piece of his sleeves.
Xi Yuan didn't react at all. He leaned his head against the board and closed his eyes, and the other hand still slowly stroked Ruan Qiu's hair.
Before long, the mechanical soldier turned around and left, and the suspended ball did not detect any abnormality, and gradually moved to the distance.
Qi Li was really relieved and closed the courtyard door again.
When the group of people who attacked Yuan arrived last time, he was not worried that someone would report it to the management office. This kind of thing was tacitized by everyone, as long as it was not found by the management office.
He confirmed that the mechanic would not turn back again, locked the door of the courtyard, and said to Zhao Jiang, "Open the wooden box quickly!"
When Ruan Qiu heard the noise, he quickly wanted to get out of Xiyuan's arms.
However, Xi Yuan didn't move at all. Zhao Jiang had taken off the lid of the wooden box. He reached out and pushed it and whispered, "Brother?"
Xi Yuan then let go. When Ruan Qiu retreated, the mezzanine board above his head was just removed.
"I'm really sorry to make you suffer..." Qi Li greeted Qi Yuan and ordered Zhao Jiang to prepare lunch.
Ruan Qiu took a step behind and followed Xi Yuan back to the room.
It seemed that there was still body temperature that did not belong to him, and the tips of his ears covered by hair were still thin red, but on the contrary, he still looked cold, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ruan Qiu took a quiet look at him and went to the table to pour water to drink.
Dinner was ready. Qi Li invited Xi Yuan to the dining room. Ruan Qiu also followed, while Qi Li and Zhao Jiang did not eat with them and went to another small hall.
What happened tonight once again refreshed part of Ruan Qiu's cognition. Qi Li treated Xi Yuan more respectfully than what he saw yesterday, and Xi Yuan was also an unregistered resident, and he may also be smuggled.
Ruan Qiu was more curious about Xi Yuan, but he was only taken in by kind intentions. Now he is still sleeping in other people's rooms. It's better not to find out other people's secrets at will.
And without asking, Ruan Qiu did not take the initiative to mention his own situation.
-
In the next few days, the mechanics did not come. Even if the death of the two people in the abandoned area was unknown, no stowaway was found. This investigation was over.
Ruan Qiu lives very well. Every meal is carefully prepared. During the day, he can watch TV at will or go to Qi Li's study to read.
However, most of Qi Li's books are related to alloys, energy, and starship mecha. Ruan Qiu doesn't know much about it, so he can only look through other miscellaneous books or galaxy distribution maps.
Xi Yuan often goes out during the day, and usually goes out with Qi Li. Ruan Qiu accidentally heard their conversation once. It seems that there is something in Xi Yuan that wants Qi Li to help fix it.
Qi Li's tone at that time was distressed: "Your... is not easy to repair. Some materials are too precious to be sold by others."
Xi Yuan said, "Where are the materials? Take me there."
Qi Li looked frightened and looked as if he was afraid that the abyss would go directly to grab it, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When Xi Yuan came back, Ruan Qiu basically stayed with him.
Because he found that Xi Yuan didn't seem to like his contact with Zhao Jiang.
Ruan Qiu didn't know if he felt wrong. Xi Yuan was cold to everyone, and his emotions were not obvious.
After another day, the meteorite storm finally ended.
Projection TV has a separate planetary climate channel, which is broadcasting.
"This meteorite storm exceeds the expected time, and there will still be residual small meteorite rains in the next two days. Residents must take precautions when they go out..."
Zhao Jiang was washing dishes in the kitchen when he suddenly paused and put down his dishes and chopsticks and walked to the corridor outside.
The top of the yard was covered by an iron ceiling, and he turned into the backyard again and looked at the sky from the terrace.
Just now, it seemed that a small starship flew by, or something else, just within the range of Zhao Jiang's spiritual perception.
At this time, the sky was covered with a dark red veil, and there was not even a bird.
Zhao Jiang used spiritual perception again, but he got nothing.
He scratched his hair, thinking that maybe it was a mistake, and went back to the kitchen to continue washing dishes.
Far away in the abandoned area across the planet, a mass of wind and sand slowly moved down from the sky.
"Boom--"
There was a strange noise on the ground, and the wind and sand dispersed.
It was quiet around for a few seconds, and a lateral elliptical starship appeared out of thin air where the wind and sand had gathered.
The surface of the star ship faded its invisible camouflage, the hatch opened, and two people came out of it.
The two men wore Union clothes and carried an ion gun with them to observe the environment near the starship.
One of the tall people looked up at the scorching light in the sky and said, "Is this Loren Mercury? It's too desolate."
Another shorter answer: "We landed in a deserted area, which has always been like this, and no one lives there."
"No one lives there?" The tall man wondered, "Didn't the person you asked for be found in the abandoned area?"
"I don't know. Let's take a look first."
The short man shook his head, opened the cargo hold from the stern of the star ship and took out a box.
There are several mechanical birds in the box, and the surface is lifelike.
He turned on the display screen in his hand and turned on the switch. Several mechanical birds immediately opened their eyes, flapped their wings and flew around in the high air.
The short man continued to enter the parameters to control the movement of the mechanical bird. There was also a picture on the screen, which was Ruan Qiu.
The tall man was not idle. He returned to the cockpit of the starship, connected a mainframe to the power supply, and hacked into the planet management office of Loren Mercury.
The electronic files of all residents are stored in the management office, and useful information may be found.
The short man set up the mechanical bird and also entered the cockpit. He did not forget to tell him, "Be careful, our mission this time can't be found."
They are on a secret mission, and the fewer people know, the better.
Moreover, this senior starship is directly approved by the chief of the alliance and handed over to them separately. The importance of this trip is self-evident.
Several mechanical birds scattered far away, looking for targets everywhere.
-
Before dinner, Qi Yuan and Qi Li came back together.
Qi Li looked sad before leaving, but at this moment, he couldn't hide his excitement. Most of the time, they had found the materials they were looking for.
He didn't eat any more, so he went back to his room and locked himself up.
After dinner, Ruan Qiu took a book and sat in a chair reading it.
Xi Yuan pushed the door in, and he just took a shower. His hair was not completely dried, and the tip of the tail hung wetly.
As soon as he appeared, the mechanical box hidden in the sofa coat immediately jumped out to give him medicine.
Xiyuan's injury healed very quickly, and there was no need to wrap any more bandages. Just apply a thin layer of gel.
He sat down on the sofa and glanced at Ruan Qiu: "What are you looking at?"
Ruan Qiu looked up and showed him the cover of the book: "It's a galaxy map."
Xi Yuan said "um" faintly and pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the scar that had scabs.
Ruan Qiu pinched the corner of the book and couldn't help asking him, "Brother, is your hometown also Loren Mercury?"
He recently turned over the galaxy map to gradually understand the era and environment he was in. In the whole galaxy map, there are hundreds of planets inhabited. Even other uninhabitable planets, the number is even larger.
He became more and more curious about where the attack was coming from.
This is also the first step for Ruan Qiu to understand Xi Yuan. After several days of getting along with each other, he feels that they are beginning to get familiar with each other.
Xiyuan's side face was quietly shrouded in the warm yellow light, and he was silent for a moment: "Herby Proxima Centauri."
It's no secret. After he officially joined the Star Piracy Organization, many people secretly called him the Star Devil.
Ruan Qiu also turned to the page that recorded Herbi-Xinthus, with only a simple description on it.
"Herbijacta, the galaxy ranks 90th; resources are poor, the planet is in poor order, which is not conducive to living or tourism; there are many permanent residents."
He turned to Loren Mercury and compared the above description with Herbi Prox.
"Loren Mercury, the galaxy ranks 113th; the resources are poor and backward, and the planet is in poor order, which is not conducive to living or tourism; there are very few permanent residents."
The resources are also poor, and the order of the planet is not good, but the number of people in Herbi Prox is even higher.
This also means that there is more conflict and chaos.
The mechanical box is geled to the wound of the abdomen of Xiyuan, and then tidy up the clothes after the gel is dry.
Ruan Qiu saw the old wounds on Xi Yuan's body again. This time, he could see more clearly. The scars were large and small, and there were several on the skin that had just been exposed.
Combined with the situation of Herbi Proxima Centauri, Ruan Qiu can more or less guess the past of attacking the abyss.
He was quiet for a while, raised his elbow and leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and his voice was soft and low: "Then have you suffered a lot before?"
Ruan Qiu's tone was still distressed. Compared with Xi Yuan, he felt that his experience was nothing.
He was just sick and hospitalized all year round. Although his condition was not optimistic, the doctors and nurses in the hospital were very kind to him and tried their best to take care of him.
And the wounds all over the body of the abyss, I don't know how many times he escaped from death.
The mechanical box returned to the pocket of his coat. Xi Yuan looked sideways at Ruan Qiu and glanced at his white face.
He raised his chin slightly and said, "Come here."
These two words seem to have no emotions, but they are obviously much milder than he usually speaks.
Ruan Qiu didn't know why, so he put down his book and got up and came to Qiyuan's side.
As soon as he stood still, Xi Yuan reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled him down.
Ruan Qiu was unprepared and fell into the arms of Xiyuan. Only then did he find that Xiyuan wanted to hug him like last time.
But... the situation was different last time.
The familiar and strange body temperature circled him again. Ruan Qiu's brain was blank and he struggled subconsciously.
Xi Yuan didn't expect that Ruan Qiu would be so dis obedient. He frowned gently and let go of his hand.
Ruan Qiu was able to get out, stood up and stepped back a few steps.
The tip of his ear on one side was hot, his cheeks were a little red, and he looked at Qiyuan confused and at a loss.
Xi Yuan was also looking at him, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and the air pressure was low all over his body.
He doesn't seem to be very happy.
