Chapter 154 Underground Lover
Anubis became alert instantly. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound through his messy hair.
In the darkness, a hand reached through the iron bars, its movements smooth and elegant. Anubis's gaze followed the hand upwards, revealing a cold and handsome face with light golden eyes like dazzling amber.
"It's you?" Anubis' voice was hoarse and surprised.
Luka's expression didn't change at all. He said in a steady voice, "Come out. Li has been led away by my people."
Anubis stared at him and asked coldly, "Why did you save me?"
They had only met once in the ward, and Anubis believed that if it weren't for Joe, this man wouldn't even look at him.
Luka leaned over and walked into the cell, holding a small dagger in his hand, a cold light flashing. He threw the dagger in front of him, his upright posture incompatible with the cell.
He sent Ans to keep watch and found that two groups of people appeared around the Federation. One group was still from the Federation but was not on the leader's side, and the other group was hiding more secretly. Based on a few details, he guessed that they were the rebels.
He thought of what Sui Sui said to him before going to the southern battlefield, and couldn't help but pay more attention to the rebels' every move.
Ans followed someone and was surprised to find that their hiding place was actually the Interstellar Strategic Academy. When he reported this discovery to himself, he keenly sensed something was wrong.
He led his men to stake out the secret for a few days and found no abnormalities in the comings and goings. He also found out that the student named Bi had been missing for a long time. So he asked someone to distract Dr. Li and used the military's professional detector to find the secret room.
Luka's eyes were calm and deep: "Now is not the time to explain, leave as soon as possible."
Anubis nodded and cut off the anklet with a dagger that could cut through iron like mud. The two of them quickly left the prison. They walked through the dark corridor, avoiding eyes, and finally stopped at a hidden exit.
Luka looked back at Anubis, his expression unchanged from beginning to end: "Are you going to the southern battlefield?"
Anubis looked at Luka deeply and nodded, "I'm going to find Joe."
Luka calculated the time and estimated that Liberi would have arrived by now, so he said, "Come with me."
Anubis said, "Thank you for helping me today, Colonel Scorsese, but I must go see her."
Luka lit a cigarette, glanced at him, and said before turning around: "She will be back soon, and I want you to be there as soon as she comes back."
Anubis stood there in a daze, watching the man's cold back as he walked away, completely baffled. If he was not mistaken, Joe was very dependent on him, and he loved Joe very much, did he... really not mind having someone else come between him and Joe?
Anubis asked himself if he could do it.
".Why?"
Luka heard the question from behind him and stopped to put out his cigarette. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with a hint of strategic planning.
Because she will come back with a very 'troublesome' person, and the way to deal with trouble is to create another trouble for him.

The moment Libery stepped off the airship and onto the southern battlefield, he immediately covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned, and asked his subordinates, "Why is the pollution level so high here?"
"The sun, there was a chemical leak here before, and it was razed to the ground. In recent years, alien species have been rampant, and the contaminated area is very large. It's not suitable for survival at all."
When Libery thought about how Sui Sui had stayed in such an environment for so long, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, rose to his throat again.
"Everyone you brought this time, go out and look for her. If you can't find her, don't come back to see me."
"yes."
He walked a few steps out and ordered again, "If she doesn't want to come back with you, don't touch her and report her location to me immediately."
"Yes, sir."
At the same time, on the other side, Qiao Susu was squatting on the ground digging in the sand.
She wore a loose shirt and trousers, the sleeves and legs of the shirt rolled up multiple times, which barely saved her from looking like an opera singer. This outfit made her look even more petite. A thin, transparent film enveloped Qiao Suisui's body, making it look like she was standing in a bubble, framing her wherever she went.
In fact, this is an oxygen isolation mask specially developed for her by Zongfang. She only needs to press a small button on the belt and the isolation mask will open automatically. As long as she stands in the isolation mask, she can be isolated from the pollution from the outside world. It is currently the first version of the research and development, so it can only be maintained for 4 hours.
Despite this, Qiao Suisui was already very satisfied. She had been digging with a toy plastic shovel for half an hour. Zong Fang was communicating not far away, glancing over from time to time. He thought she was playing with sand and continued to communicate with someone about something.
In fact, Qiao Suisui was thinking about leaving the southern battlefield soon. What if Anubis arrived right after she left? What if they missed each other? So she put the props rewarded by the system in an iron box and planned to bury it there.
The prop was a time capsule, which only designated individuals could open. She wrote down everything she had seen and heard during the southern battlefield in detail, then read it over again, confirming it was correct, and placed it inside the time capsule. Just as she was about to seal the capsule, she suddenly remembered another function of the prop: it could be opened at a set time.
In other words, if she sets the time for what she writes now to be ten years later, the designated person can only open it ten years later.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned, and she sat on the stone again, swinging her legs, and wrote:
Dear Bee,
haven't seen you for a long time.
This is my second letter to you.
By the time you see this letter, it will probably be a long time since I wrote these words.
Regarding your father's involvement with the rebels, I wonder if it has been resolved by the time you read this letter. It would be wonderful if you could be cleared of the charges.
Thank you for being my classmate, my friend, my roommate, and someone who stood by me unconditionally. And more importantly, thank you for being the reason I stay in this world. And thank you for telling me you like me, but I don't think we can truly focus on being together right now. I wonder what the future holds?
Maybe I have returned to my own world and become an ordinary and inconspicuous Qiao Suisu again.
Regardless of whether we will meet again, I want to tell you: I like you. I have liked you since the first time I accidentally broke into your room in the apartment.
No matter who you are or whether you have spiritual power or not, what I like is you as you are, the one who is honest, loyal to friends, speaks little but is careful, and is not afraid of authority.
Meeting you is the happiest thing that has happened to me since I came to this world.
