Only God knows how Su Liang left the meeting room that day with a red face and in a trance.
He simply couldn't believe that it was true - someone like Lu Taipan would actually say such... such shameful words to him in front of so many people.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Lu Taipan's voice was low enough and the others were far enough away.
Of course the most important thing is that almost no one could imagine that the Lord of the Snake Cave, who has always been cold, terrifying, and ruthless, would lower his voice so awkwardly and clumsily, and seriously imitate the way other stupid Alphas coax their Omega, to coax Su Liang to rest.
[Be good and listen to me.] 】
It's so shameful.
But Su Liang couldn't resist Lu Taipan at all.
He really obeyed.
Su Liang obediently followed Lu Taipan's instructions and rested for a whole night. However, the next day he once again turned into a workaholic and began to question and comfort the victims who escaped from Farm N.
It was precisely because these people had been greatly stimulated mentally that in order to prevent their condition from worsening, the captured pirate spaceship and the Snake Cave's own ship remained in the sky above Area 48 without moving for the next few days.
The professional mental counselor who rushed in from the headquarters was ineffective, so Su Liang became the main force in questioning the victims, which made him busy and dizzy.
In such an extremely busy situation, there would occasionally be a moment when Su Liang would feel as if he had forgotten something, but the countless tasks that followed would instantly wash away the little doubt, and he had no time to think about what he had forgotten.
Until this day, Su Liang finally finished a day of inquiries and walked out of the treatment area where the Omega was with a tired look on his face.
"Master Su Liang."
He heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, Su Liang discovered that the person standing there was actually the Black Mamba.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but there's something I want to confirm with you." Black Mamba walked forward and said in a steady voice. As he spoke, he tapped the personal terminal on his arm.
A virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and a series of data flashed on the pale blue light screen.
"I am currently in charge of all matters concerning Master Lu Zhizhao," Black Mamba explained to Su Liang, "We re-organized his life trajectory and actions before he was captured by the space pirates and found that he had been harassing the natives of District 48."
With the tapping of fingers, the data on the virtual screen changed. Finally, several photos appeared and were reflected in Su Liang's eyes.
"…These are the people. There is evidence that Master Lu Zhizhao fled the Lu family in order to go to District 48 to look for them. While harassing these people, Master Lu Zhizhao kept asking them if they knew you."
As he spoke, Black Mamba's eyes flickered at Su Liang's face. Anyone could see that as those photos appeared, Su Liang's face turned unusually pale.
"Although there is a high possibility that Master Lu Zhizhao's mental sea collapsed and he had hallucinations, which led to such behavior. However, just in case, we still need to confirm with you. Do these people really know you, so they provoked Master Lu Zhizhao's harassment?"
Su Liang looked at the familiar face that flashed on the list, and his voice completely froze in his throat.
He felt like he was in an icy cave.
After a long while, he finally answered with difficulty: "I don't think these people know me."
At least, that's the case in this life.
…
After leaving Black Mamba, Su Liang returned to his room in silence.
He should have rested well during his rare free time. Those Omegas still needed him, and so did the Snake Cave. Although the progress was not great, they had already gotten a lot of clues about N Farm from Omega.
But when Su Liang was lying on the bed, his heart was in turmoil.
He didn't dare to think about why Lu Zhizhao found those two people.
After all, according to common sense, at this time. The landlord and the doctor probably don’t recognize me. That stupid, love-brained, reckless Beta finally became a little smarter this time. Under normal circumstances, no one would think that an ordinary person in the Central Star District would have any connection with the permanent residents in the garbage dump of District 48.
But Lu Zhizhao found the doctor and the landlord with incredible accuracy. These two people helped him a lot and were the ones who accompanied him through the last journey of his life.
It's almost like...
Su Liang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a few seconds, Su Liang sat up from the bed with an extremely ugly expression.
"housekeeper?"
He called out.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Master Su Liang?"
Soon the polite voice of the artificial intelligence was heard in the headset, but Su Liang hesitated for a while before speaking.
"I have a question... Can I leave the ship during my break?"
"Leaving the ship?"
"Yes, I want to go to District 48."
Su Liang said softly.
"Of course. After completing a mission, every Viper has the right to freely use his or her free time."
The butler said quickly.
"That's good."
"But..." The AI suddenly changed the subject at this time, "Master Su Liang, you are a non-combatant. If you need to leave the ship, you must be accompanied by a formal Viper Warrior of level 2 or above to avoid danger."
"What?"
"Currently, all Viper Warriors are combat personnel and are in the field of the 'Spring Outing' project, which means that if you want someone to accompany you, you must apply directly to the owner."
The butler said kindly.
Ten minutes later, in Lu Taipan's office.
Su Liang stood in front of the man's desk with some trepidation.
There were piles of work documents on Lu Taipan's desk, but the Snake Master ignored them. The floating screen in front of him showed the application that Su Liang had submitted not long ago.
"You want to apply for the accompaniment of the Viper Warrior to go to District 48..." Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang's application intently, as if it was a confidential document. Then, the man looked up at Su Liang and asked, "What are you going there for?"
"I……"
Su Liang pursed his lips.
In fact, if he wanted to make up an excuse, he had many ready-made reasons: after all, he was a student of Xingchuan University who had a deep sense of responsibility for the 48th District. He had teaching materials and emergency manuals specially compiled for the children of the 48th District, and Lu Taipan also promised him that he would build a public welfare teaching institution in the 48th District.
Under these premises, Su Liang could confidently tell Lu Taipan that he wanted to visit District 48 and investigate the living conditions of local residents.
However, when the words came to his lips, Su Liang couldn't say a word.
He didn't want to deceive Lu Taipan.
"I don't know, actually."
After a long time, Su Liang lowered his head and said bitterly.
"If I must say it, there are some things...some things I want to confirm."
Although he knew very well that some things were meaningless even if confirmed, and would even only add to his troubles.
However, he still couldn't let it go.
"Is it about Lu Zhizhao?" Lu Taipan suddenly asked.
Black Mamba had just submitted his report, and had made a special note about Su Liang's denial of knowing the two natives of Area 48.
"yes."
Su Liang nodded with difficulty.
There was a moment of silence in the office.
Su Liang felt his body a little tense, panicky, or perhaps scared, and a bitter emotion spread in his heart.
If Lu Taipan really continued to ask him what he wanted to confirm, Su Liang would have no idea how to respond.
Su Liang could feel the man's gaze lingering on his face for a moment, and he could almost sense the doubt and inquiry in the man's eyes.
However, Lu Taipan did not ask any more questions.
"Your application has been approved. From 8 pm to 8 am tomorrow, you have twelve hours of free time," Lu Taipan glanced at the time on the floating screen and said, "Your range of activities is the entire 48th District, not a mission patrol. The requirement is that you must carry basic self-defense weapons and... a Viper Warrior will accompany you to the 48th District."
After he finished speaking, the man's fingertips moved slightly, and the next moment Su Liang's personal terminal rang, and he received the news that his application was approved.
"Thanks……"
Su Liang buried his head and spoke softly.
"You're welcome."
Looking at the uneasy look of the young man in front of him, the Lord of the Snake Cave tapped lightly on the table with his fingertips, and then he responded calmly.
8pm -
Su Liang put on all his equipment as required and stood on the shuttle ship's docking platform, waiting for the transport ship and the Viper warrior who would accompany him to arrive.
To be honest, Su Liang was a little dazed and his mind was confused at this moment.
Doctor...Landlord...
Logically, Lu Zhizhao shouldn't know them. Even in his previous life, Lu Zhizhao had never seen those two people, because at that time, Lu Zhizhao had no way of knowing that Su Liang would end up in the "garbage dump" in District 48.
For most people in ordinary star regions, that place is almost equivalent to hell.
And Su Liang, in the end, did die there silently.
Lu Zhizhao had just gotten married at that time. It was the second day of the grand wedding. The combination of the Lu and Ning families was about to bring Lu Zhizhao amazing power and benefits.
At that time, he had no reason to have any attachment to Su Liang.
Su Liang also didn't think that Lu Zhizhao, who had returned to a life of power and wealth, would come back to look for him.
But……
Just as Su Liang was thinking about this matter with a heavy face, the butler's announcement came through the earphone.
"Master Su Liang, the transport ship is about to arrive. Your guard is in place. This guard is S-level and is good at fighting, mecha driving, stealth... cooking, cleaning, small appliance repair, etc. This guard's code name is Si Snake. I wish you two will have a good time together in the future."
Snake?
When Su Liang heard this code name, he was stunned.
Then, accompanied by the roar of the transport ship, a small streamlined spaceship painted with black and white snakes stopped in front of him with extraordinary lightness.
The hatch slid open smoothly to both sides, revealing a familiar figure inside.
Su Liang stared at the handsome and tall man inside in amazement, and his whole body froze instantly.
"Mr. Mi? Why are you here?"
Su Liang was shocked.
Lu Taipan turned his head and looked at him with a calm expression.
"Because I happen to be an official Viper Warrior, and my level is high enough to accept this mission."
