Soul Mechanic [Interstellar] - Chapter 111
【a familiar stranger】
Since Chu Qingtian served as the chief of the Dragon Constellation, he has taken the K44 spacecraft more than once because of large and small missions. However, he has never seen such a K44.
At the top of the unknown spacecraft, there is a hidden compartment. Said it is a compartment, the actual space is only much larger than the main cabin of the spacecraft.
It is designed as a high-end clubhouse, integrating leisure, entertainment and food.
At this time, the second defect of the locator is exposed-where the infrared induction of the human body is concentrated, it cannot be accurately positioned and can only have a rough range, for example, as large as the entire spacecraft.
So, next, they need to find it by themselves.
At this time, the waiter Mu Qiu was taking the food covered with silver tableware from the back kitchen worker Chu Qingtian, pushing it with a manual cart, and going to the hall to serve the food.
Speaking of it, in today’s popularization of various service robots, restaurants that still employ human services do not seem to have any other advantages besides highlighting their grades.
Although Mu Qiu’s image was a little fat at this time, he was at least white and looked very festive, so he was chosen to serve in the lobby as soon as he arrived.
As the guide, Simon’s spirit fluctuated very obviously, and there was no way to hide it like Mu Qiu, so Lu Xun gave the supervisor some benefits and assigned him to the cleaning department.
In fact, the real cleaning work is done by various machines. The so-called “cleaners” only need to sit and watch. As long as someone with a relationship chooses this place, it is not only easy to work, but also safe-therefore, Simon’s arrival does not seem abrupt.
Chu Qingtian and Lu Xun took the initiative to get into the back kitchen. There are so many people coming and going and work is busy. Even if they slip away for a while, no one will notice.
After all, the most dangerous one turned out to be Mu Qiu.
At this time, Mu Qiu, wearing light yellow overalls, was pushing the shiny silver dining car through the crowd, while searching for the position of table 21 with his eyes.
I have to say, a little nervous.
18, 19, 20…
Mu Qiu pretended to be looking for the number plate marked on the tableware, while traveling through the crowd as much as possible, cheering up and feeling it carefully.
His amber eyes turned around all kinds of guests, sentries, guides, ordinary people…
Mu Qiu felt it secretly, but did not find the familiar spirit fluctuations.
Inadvertently, Mu Qiu stared blankly at a pair of smiling eyes-a glamorous lady with red hair and red lips.
“Can I get a glass of vodka?” The lady sat on the chair, tilted her head slightly, her eyes warm.
Mu Qiu couldn’t help but stunned for a moment – it was a strange look and a strange voice, for some reason he felt a familiar feeling.
“Can you?” The lady looked at him and repeated softly.
Mu Qiu quickly condensed his mind, smiled, and his white hand paused on the vodka, then picked up another glass, “Drink this, it feels more suitable-a specialty of the tree planet, suitable for beautiful ladies.”
“Tranquil planet?” The woman didn’t put her eyes on the light blue fruit wine, but looked at Mu Qiu without blinking.
Only then did Mu Qiu realize his identity at this moment, and he couldn’t help but feel a little upset, besides, he was also a little nervous.
The lady noticed the complicated look in his eyes, and smiled more gently.
Before Mu Qiu could make up a better reason, the lady stretched out her mental tentacles and gently touched Mu Qiu’s forehead.
Only then did Mu Qiu notice that the other party turned out to be a precious guide–and her tentacles were translucent.
Mu Qiu couldn’t help but think of another person with translucent tentacles, feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, somehow, the lady in front of him gave him an indescribable sense of contradiction.
There was a villain in Mu Qiu’s heart, shook his head madly at him-no, it shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be the flaming red lips, it shouldn’t be the eldest wavy girl, it shouldn’t be so **** and hot…
The image in front of him gradually overlapped with the appearance in his memory, Mu Qiu shook his head involuntarily, and a deep confusion flashed in his eyes—obviously completely different!
“Linda.” There was a low, magnetic male voice next to him, “Don’t disturb people’s work.” Although the tone was reproach, it was slightly pampered.
Mu Qiu came back to his senses at once, and subconsciously looked over there-he was a man with a shameless appearance, but with a good temperament.
The other party did not pay attention to Mu Qiu.
The lady named “Linda” retracted her mental tentacles, seemingly reluctant to give up.
Mu Qiu also recovered, lowered his head, and said, “Sorry!”
“Don’t mind.” The lady leaned back in the chair relaxedly, her mouth curled slightly, and her smile was somewhat subtle-it seemed that the two crimson lips were a little strange.
She raised a toast to Mu Qiu and said softly, “Thank you for your wine.”
“You are being polite…” Mu Qiu said quickly, “It was for the guests too.”
The lady looked at him, her dark brown pupils seemed to be able to see through everything.
Mu Qiu panicked, lowered his head quickly, and hurried forward.
In any case, it must not be exposed at a critical moment-Mu Qiu reminded himself secretly.
——
After Mu Qiu put the wine and vegetables on the 21st table, he deliberately turned to another direction and searched carefully.
However, his eyes drifted involuntarily to the position of table 18, secretly observing the lady who left him a deep impression.
At this time, a clear and enthusiastic announcement came from the hall.
“The spacecraft is about to leave the Draco constellation. Please be prepared for the first leap to travellers–“
Hearing this, Mu Qiu quickly leaned against the ship’s bulkhead to find a place with a card slot and stood there, holding the Yinliang dining car in his hand.
Other passengers also sat quietly in their seats, with two soft beams flashing on both sides of the seats, protecting their chests and abdomen.
“It’s about to make a transition–“
“Three, two, one!”
Mu Qiu obviously felt dizzy and a little uncomfortable.
This shock absorber is far worse than the Tianlong! ——Mu Qiu complained silently in his heart.
“The transition was successful, thank you for your cooperation, and I wish you all a pleasant meal!” The deputy captain’s voice was calm and pleasant, which eliminated the last trace of tension in people’s hearts.
However, as soon as the voice fell, there was a loud bang, which seemed to come from outside the spacecraft.
Then, the spacecraft shook violently.
Mu Qiu’s body slammed forward, and he was about to knock on the dining car, just in time being held by a pair of powerful hands.
Good smell, but not my own sentry…
Mu Qiu subconsciously turned his head to look, and met a pair of smiling eyes-it was the man just now.
“Thank you.” Mu Qiu politely thanked him, and then showed what an ordinary waiter should be, and asked in a flustered manner, “What just happened? Why did the spacecraft suddenly—”
“The person you are looking for… is there.” The man lowered his voice and suddenly spoke.
Mu Qiu’s eyes widened and looked at him in disbelief. At the same time, she couldn’t help but look in the direction he was pointing–
There… is the spacecraft’s central control room, a place that only the captain and other core personnel can enter.
The man couldn’t help laughing when he saw Mu Qiu’s dumbfounded look.
He curled his fingers and knocked on his forehead. Such an action was too intimate for someone who just met and didn’t even know the name.
Mu Qiu was struck by lightning.
The man glanced at him for the last time, and slid into the crowd like a fish, so fast that Mu Qiu didn’t react at all, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Qiu stood still, feeling lost.
A strong body leaned over, hooking his waist in a familiar manner.
This time, it was his own sentry.
“I just… saw Dad…” Mu Qiu stared blankly, and couldn’t wait to share the news with his sentry.
Chu Qingtian was obviously taken aback. He looked around warily, then pulled Mu Qiu to a secluded corner.
He turned his back and called up the terminal on Mu Qiu’s body-before that, he had set up recording and positioning functions on it.
Chu Qingtian looked backwards from back to front, and soon caught the picture of the man appearing. The face was enlarged three times and appeared on the reduced virtual screen.
Chu Qingtian shook his head, “This is not Uncle Mu.”
Mu Qiu’s amber eyes blinked, and he retorted slightly eagerly: “No, he must be, he just clearly—”
Chu Qingtian lowered his head and gently kissed the slightly trembling lips of the guide-even though he was very unbearable, he did not intend to perfuse Mu Qiu.
“His name is Brussels, and he is a secret stake buried in the Rhine family by Major General Lin Yi-of course, only a handful of people know about this.”
Mu Qiu frowned vigorously, “But… he can do that action-it belongs to me and Dad.”
“It only means that he knows Uncle Mu, and maybe he is still very familiar.” Chu Qingtian said calmly.
Mu Qiu’s eye circles instantly turned red.
He knew that if Chu Qingtian was not 100% sure, he would not say that at all.
Chu Qingtian felt sore and painful in his heart. He took the person into his arms and kissed the forehead, cheeks and corners of his lips carefully, cherishing it.
“Ha! Knowing that death is imminent, so hurry up and make the last shot?” A malicious voice came in abruptly.
Chu Qingtian had already noticed that someone was here, but it was their own convenience. He hadn’t planned to pay attention to it, but he didn’t expect that the other party would speak badly at each other for no reason.
It was a thin man with a vicious face, and the sight of others was full of malice.
A pain in Mu Qiu’s spiritual realm, a strong negative emotion reached the depths.
Chu Qingtian hurriedly set up the mental barrier, and while calming the guide, looked at the man in front of him coldly-like he was looking at a dead person.
The man was surprised at first, then puzzled. He looked at Chu Qingtian up and down, still not afraid to sneer, “It turned out to be a sentry? A grade? Heh! Interesting… There is a good show to watch!”
Chu Qingtian was taken aback for a moment, and the spirit of preparing to attack hesitated for a moment.
The next moment, Mu Qiu took his hand and persuaded weakly: “It’s not worth killing for a few words.”
The man laughed and walked away.
Obviously he is an ordinary person, but he can see through Chu Qingtian’s level at a glance; besides, his mental power is actually strong enough to influence Mu Qiu…
Chu Qingtian had to care. What did he mean by “death is imminent”…?
