Orson didn't sleep well that night.

The meeting on the first day was a failure for him, which made him have to review what happened during the day, so that he didn't get any benefits, and he had to disclose the secrets of the new colony to the two bases.But after thinking about it, there was really no clue to follow. He believed that the first base had nothing to bribe the third base.

According to intelligence, the First Base is very short of money. It is said that they are conducting some research, but Orson does not know the specific research.He suspected that his family knew, but no one told himself.

In fact, before coming to the third base, Orson was not valued in the family.He thought it was because of his mother's humble background.If the woman hadn't perfectly inherited the beauty of her ancestors, it is estimated that the old Duke White would not have let her get close to the palace at all.

Orson has always been ashamed of being half of his commoner blood, and even hated his mother for it.Until half a month ago, the old duke let him succeed, and participated in the alliance celebration as a representative of the fourth base.

"We need a war," said the old prince, "but only if the third base doesn't open fire on us."

Orson's nose was flushed with excitement, and he knew what he should ask to appear mature.

"So I want to get married?" he asked tentatively.

The old duke didn't look at him. "It's the best that can be had. It's the best solution. Although I don't have much hope for it."

Third Base has turned it down many times.

"I understand." Orson nodded decently, "But they are nothing to be afraid of. Our defense force is enough to crush their Xingdian."

"Nothing to be afraid of?" The old prince turned around and finally gave him a straight look. "What do you know? You idiot! As long as the Sylvia family is still there, we won't get any benefit from the war!"

-

"The Sylvia family..." Orson finally couldn't bear it during the break of the meeting the next day, and asked the two think tanks beside him, "Apart from being tall and beautiful, is there anything special about them?"

Today's meeting is boring.Under the advice of the think tank, Orson kept the last proposal as his hole card. Today, he only talked about trade routes.The same goes for the other two bases.

The fourth base hopes to optimize the route and use them as a transit point.The third base requires Xingdian as a transit point.The First Base wants no staging points.The three parties vetoed each other, and no one succeeded.In the end, it's all asteroid triviality that takes up everyone's time.

Orson didn't know how many times his mind was distracted, yawned, and began to think about what the old earl said that day.

The two think tanks looked at each other and replied: "Their fighting power is terrible."

Orson wrinkled his face in doubt, unable to understand the meaning: "We rely on ships to fight, not manpower. Besides, no matter how powerful they are, there are only a few people."

"No matter what kind of ship, they are all controlled by humans." The think tank said, "And the Sylvia family not only has terrible fighting power, but they can also enhance the fighting power of the entire army."

"What?" Orson asked.

"Duke Orson," another person said suddenly, "someone from the first base has left."

-

Linton stood alone at the end of the conference hall's rest corridor.A few minutes ago, the personnel of the second group left smoothly and completely cut off contact with him.

Linton tried to control his emotions after that so as not to affect the rest of the team.Fortunately, the scenery outside the corridor soothed him—the side he was facing was the floor-to-ceiling window, and the tall broad-leaved trees outside the window were covered with halos of light. The rich green and sunlight made people feel as if they were on the earth.

That was his home planet.

"Twelve special forces." Carrie, who got the news, came over with a sneer, and stopped Linton who was about to go back, "Major General Linton, don't tell me that they are here for a day trip to Xingdian."

"It doesn't matter if the commander understands it that way." Linton stopped, then looked out the window, "Xingdian's scenery is beautiful."

"Thank you. But if you don't tell me where the twelve are at once, Major General, you and your companions will be nourished tonight and buried under these trees. Believe me, this is no joke."

"I know." Linton nodded, "Of course I can tell you."

Carrie looked at him dissatisfied, "How did they leave?"

"Take the sightseeing boat at your base." Linton said, "We paid for it ourselves, and the boat tickets are frighteningly expensive."

Carrie narrowed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds.Linton knew that she was asking her subordinates to investigate through the microcomputer communication.

And soon, she will soon verify her statement. If nothing else, she should also know that the ship is a black market ship disguised as a sightseeing ship—used to smuggle Omega. In order to avoid official inspection, they once It will be disguised twice when it leaves Hong Kong, and it is difficult to recover.

Carrie did curse in a low voice.Linton pretended not to hear.

"Second question, where did they go?" Carrie looked at him suspiciously.

"Return to the base with the news of our cooperation." Linton said calmly, "After all, this is a big deal for both of us, and it will take time to send troops from the first base to the No. 3 resource star."

Jiali held back her anger and let out a cry: "You think I'm a fool? Stupid enough to believe that you can only contact the base by running errands?"

"The fact is true. We didn't bring long-distance communication equipment this time." Linton said, "At least three satellite communications are required to go from the third base to the first base. Without equipment, our information can't even get out of Xingdian Come."

In the galaxy, long-distance communication requires powerful long-distance communication equipment, so that the signal is not excessively attenuated along the way.Communication between planets requires communication satellites.Therefore, in the previous alliance celebration meetings, the decision makers of each base directly participated in order to ensure the efficiency of the meeting.

Carrie knew that Linton and the others did not bring equipment.

But although such rhetoric is reasonable, it is difficult for people to accept it.

"They can leave normally after obtaining my permission." Carrie frowned.

"Do you think the Fourth Foundation will allow it?" Linton asked her back as a matter of course. "Do you think the Fourth Foundation would like to see us cooperate?"

Carrie's gray pupils stared at her.

Linton showed a very sincere expression, "Commander, you should at least believe that we have no hostility towards the third base."

"I trust First Foundation, but I don't trust you." Carrie stared into his eyes. "You have a problem."

-

"Either there is a problem with the machine, or there is a problem with him." Under the twin star towers, the doctor operated the biometric device for a long time, but failed to find out the reason, turned around and handed a bracelet to Sean.

Sean took it over and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows suspiciously.

"This is the bracelet worn by the missing Omega. I backed up its data yesterday and found a problem." The doctor reached out, grabbed a handful from the data pad, and threw it into the air.A blue data graph appeared out of thin air.

"You know, in addition to positioning, this bracelet also has a built-in body monitoring chip. Observe their physiological data." The doctor said, "This is the hormone and emotional change process of that Omega that night."

Sean narrowed his eyes: "A straight line."

"Yes." The doctor said, "No heat, no tension, no anger, no change."

"Impossible," Sean shook his head, remembering Omega's hot skin that night, "I'm sure he's already in heat."

Even if that person was Linton, he would at least have emotions of anger and surprise, at least when facing Omega being violated.

"The major general is saying that he has symptoms of heat?" asked the doctor.

Sean withdrew his thoughts and nodded firmly.

"If there is no problem with the chip, it can only be said that the estrus symptoms are fake." The doctor said, "Our inhibitor has no effect on him, either this Omega is very familiar with estrus symptoms. Or this person has a very high IQ, he observed To judge other people's performance, rely on IQ to control EQ, and make a relative response."

Sean: "..."

"Including his other performances..." The doctor pointed to the straight line, "I heard about what happened that night. Under such circumstances, a person with no fluctuations in his heart would be too terrifying in his emotional control. In fact, compared to this, I prefer to believe that there is something wrong with the machine."

"Same as it?" Sean looked at the biometric device from last night.

The doctor nodded.

"If it's true." Sean asked, "This man is extremely controlling."

"Then we can only hope we don't meet him. Because you can't believe a word he says." The doctor said, "He's a born liar."

Until Sean met Linton, the liar's evaluation kept lingering in his mind.

"I'm very angry." Linton changed the stealth suit he brought, and glared at Sean angrily, "You actually sent someone to monitor us. What did our first base do to be treated like this?"

"You sent special forces as conference representatives." Sean looked at him, wondering if his angry expression was fake, "and half of them left quietly, taking Xingdian as a tourist destination."

"It's not breaking any rules."

"But it's not friendly." Sean glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "If you can, please don't waste your time."

Orson would take his men out every night for a while, and would return to his residence after ten o'clock that night.Sean never imagined that she would one day wear a dive suit in her own home.And the culprit of all this is very uncertain.

"I'm not sure if I can gain something." Linton lowered his voice, his cat-like pupils shining brightly in the dark, "I hope Big Nose can live up to it and don't waste our date."

Sean frowned at his choice of words, but said nothing more.

The two entered Orson's room.A small suite with retro wallpapers on the walls, tables and chairs imitating the medieval style on the earth, solid wood tables, chairs with high feet and high backs, and a four-poster bed carved with exaggerated patterns and covered by a heavy bed curtain.

Orson was clearly a slob, leaving things all over the place.

Sean was in charge of guarding the entrance, while Linton put on gloves, carefully avoided the fragments on the ground, and rummaged around.

"What are you looking for?" Sean glanced at him. "He's never stupid enough to carry documents with him."

"But he will contact the base." Linton said, "I want to put a little thing on their long-range communication loader."

"You also dealt with me like this?" There was no abnormality outside, Sean leaned against the door and stared at the people next to him scrutinizingly.

After checking the tables, chairs and walls, Linton found nothing. He turned his head and looked at him: "I said, if you bring this up again, don't blame me for being rude."

Sean caught him frowning in displeasure, but wasn't sure if it was his act again.

"Sorry." Sean withdrew his gaze and looked at the situation outside the door through the monitor.

"Then answer me a question." Linton gave up the outside room and walked towards Orson's pile of gorgeous clothes, "Why did the White family marry you?"

Sean turned around unexpectedly and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"I know that everyone in the Sylvia family is very beautiful, and the major general is... well-known." Linton raised his face from the pile of silk clothes and looked at him searchingly, "But this is not enough to become a marriage partner. Reason. To be precise, they seem to be afraid of you, why?"

Sean sneered: "Maybe they are shallower than you think."

Linton paused, and finally found a [-]-centimeter-long cylinder in Duicheng Xiaoshan's clothes.At the same time, Sean suddenly whispered: "There is a situation, they are back."

Orson rarely went out tonight, but came out from the room diagonally opposite, and walked towards here angrily, followed by his two guards.

The faces of the two of them changed, the door was the only entrance, and there was no place to hide in the guest room.Linton quickly looked around the room, and his eyes fell on the double-door wardrobe beside the bed.Sean glanced at him and quickly rolled under the bed, Linton immediately followed without hesitation.

The space under the bed was limited, and the two stuck together almost immediately.Sean frowned, looked at Linton, and pointed to the wardrobe outside.

Linton blinked innocently and pushed him away.

Sean: "..." According to Orson's urination, perhaps the first thing he does when he enters the door is to change his clothes.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps at the door. Amid Orson's curses, a group of people pushed the door and entered.Linton and Sean looked at each other, both showing very reluctant expressions, but then they leaned closer tacitly, holding their breath, and listening to the movement outside.

"I am the Duke! I am the leader of the Fourth Base!" Orson shouted from the outside, "Those two traitors! Traitors!"

The two guards did not speak.Orson's anger remained undiminished, and he swept the things on the table to the ground. The exquisite porcelain tea set shattered, the tea spilled all over the floor, and a cup lid rolled to the bottom of the bed.

Linton curled his lips, held the cup lid with his middle finger when it rolled in, and then gently pushed it out.

Sean looked at him reproachfully, wanting to remind him to be careful, but realized that the two of them had never been connected through their microbrains, and could not communicate silently, so they had to give up.

Linton had noticed his expression, and while looking at him, deliberately stretched out his middle finger and poked at the lid of the cup.

Sean: "..." He quickly turned over and grabbed the guy's wrist before he reached out.

The posture of the two people who were lying side by side suddenly became weird, half of Sean's body was pressed on Linton.Under the thin stealth suits, the pulse of the two people was clearly transmitted.

Sean was about to move away subconsciously, but Linton showed a terrified expression, and made a motion of retching outwards.

Sean: "????"

"Where's the communicator?" Orson cursed and walked towards the bed, squatting down angrily.The mattress trembled slightly.

The guard pulled the communicator out of the pile of clothes.Orson reluctantly switched on, and the light outside was bright.

"If we knew you were so stupid, we might as well send a dog." There was a woman's voice on the other end of the communicator.

"Where's father?" Orson's big nose puffed out, "I hope you will respect me, Kasdan, I am the Duke."

"Then I hope you can do what the Duke did," Kasdan said, "No matter what method you think of, let the first base finish quickly."

Sean looked down at Linton, who looked very focused, as if he had been prepared for this.

"I'm working hard! We've passed the compensation proposal. If the First Base can't afford that much money, they can only choose to go to war or pay us an asteroid." Orson finished speaking selectively, and turned to Card Stan said, "Instead of yelling here, you might as well find a way to change another planet with the Lokla people."

"Idiot, we don't have any more osmium to give. Besides, you think those disgusting spider people will always keep their word?"

"That's better than you yelling at me here, too."

"That's because you concealed the fact that the third base asked us to pay for the goods and the need to disclose the colonial planet!" Kasdan said, "You went so many days in advance to persuade the third base to form an alliance with us. Worse, they don't shoot us in the ass when we're fighting the First Foundation, but what did you do?"

"Then, then they didn't support the first base." Orson knew that those two think tanks had tipped off the news, and he kept a grudge in his heart, and then said, "I believe that if we go to war, the third base will definitely not get involved .Maybe they are also willing, we can give them an asteroid, like the Rose Star campaign."

Sean, who was listening attentively, was taken aback for a moment, and then felt the muscles of Linton under him tense instantly.Sensing the danger, Sean wanted to dodge subconsciously, but he immediately suppressed the urge.

Linton's right hand quickly grabbed his neckline and pulled him towards him.

Their noses were almost touching.Sean controlled his breath and aura, and looked at the other party.

Linton's lips were pursed into a straight line, staring at him firmly.Sean found that his dark pupils expanded rapidly like ink, and there was no emotion in them, and a strange thought suddenly popped up.

——This natural liar, the anger at this moment should be real.

But obviously at this moment, such a state is very dangerous.Sean hesitated for a moment, and was about to close his eyes and forcefully communicate with his micro-brain, but in the next second, Linton suddenly let go of his hand.

The terrifying breath of death disappeared in an instant, and the guards outside walked back and forth uneasily, then stopped in doubt.

"You don't know anything about the Battle of the Rose Star." Kasdan's voice sounded immediately, but it was full of contempt, "Olson, you'd better not mention this at home, or you will regret it."

Orson looked at her in disbelief.

"You don't have to think about it. There are some things you don't need to know. Your mission is this celebration." Kasdan said, "Now it's just the stage of negotiating votes. Carrie's change process is waiting for you to negotiate with her. So you immediately Go to her. The Third Foundation must have their needs, yes to them, whatever they want, yes to them."

The light suddenly dimmed, and the communicator was interrupted by the other party.

Orson sat on the bed for a while, sighed like a defeated prisoner and walked out, his guards followed immediately.It seems that they are going to negotiate with Jiali.

After confirming safety, Linton walked out expressionlessly.

Sean didn't know what to explain, so he could only keep silent, and then left, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation on Carrie's side.

It was a very long night.Sean was rarely able to sleep well, and Linton's almost weird black pupils appeared repeatedly in his dreams.

Early the next morning, this weirdness was quickly broken by two other news.

News number one: Orson is dead.

The second news is: the other twelve special forces from the first base also disappeared.

Commander Carrie has ordered the arrest of the only representative of the First Base, Major General Linton.
