Wasteland Garbage Planet 23 is angry!
The light in the darkroom was very dim, just enough to make out what was inside.
Xie Yunsui got very close and saw that the two metal boxes were very smooth, without a single pattern or line, and there was no opening to be found. They looked like a tightly fitted metal lump.
"Does this require fingerprints or irises to unlock?" Xie Yunsui turned around and asked.
Themis stretched out his right hand behind him and tapped the metal box. A slight electric sound was heard, and the next second the metal box made a "click" sound, and a shallow crack appeared in the middle of the front.
Is this unlocked?
Xie Yunsui opened the box along the crack, and found it was full of paper documents.
Does the Interstellar Federation still use paper documents?
This unimportant thought crossed Xie Yunsui's mind. Just as he was about to pick up the document, he turned back to confirm with Themis, "Can I really see it?"
Themis smiled slightly: "Okay."
Xie Yunsui was of course extremely curious about Xiaoxi's past, mainly because he had only found out that the illegal transformation research institute might be located in an underground boxing ring on Aleka Star, which had long been reduced to ruins. The authorities had also erased all information about it, and there was not even a single discussion about it on the Internet. He really wanted to know how Xiaoxi became a modified human.
The so-called illegal transformation means that Xiaoxi may not have entered that research institute voluntarily, and it also involves a series of dirty situations such as human trafficking.
It would be fine if all those people died, but if there were still one or two left, Xie Yunsui could not tolerate them still being alive and kicking.
The first file was Themis's, to be precise, the information of every physical examination he had during his twelve years in the institute.
Themis on the homepage is still a ten-year-old child, with no information about his place of origin, only the code C1009.
Height, weight, and blood information… like a price tag, I ticked the "qualified" box, ultimately transforming it into "Excellent physical fitness, approved to participate in the experiment."
The short line of words was so heavy that Xie Yunsui didn't dare to turn the page.
"The experiment...is it an illegal transformation experiment?"
"Um."
"Before you were ten years old..."
"I forgot. They gave me an injection and I forgot about it after that."
Themis' voice was very soft, as if it was just a very trivial matter.
Xie Yunsui felt so distressed that he turned around and hugged him.
Themis blinked, seemingly not expecting his reaction.
Xie Yunsui continued to read. For the next five years, Ximis had been strictly carrying out inhuman training, fighting from morning to night. In order not to delay his development, he had to take various medicines like meals.
When Xie Yunsui looked at the physical examination report five years later, he keenly noticed that one piece of information was different from the previous one.
"What is this rejection reaction?"
Themis: "Switch to the right hand."
Xie Yunsui raised his head suddenly: "Aren't we changing together?"
Themis: "First the right hand, then the forearm, and finally the whole arm."
Xie Yunsui's desire to bombard the research institute was unprecedentedly strong at this moment. Three transplants meant that Xiaoxi had to go through three arm amputations and the pain of postoperative rejection.
No, that's not right, there was one more time.
Xie Yunsui looked at his golden pupils: "Your eyes?"
"A wealthy man's left eye was injured and he needed a healthy eye transplant. His eyes were blue, so they chose me." Themis said calmly, "I survived three rejection reactions. They couldn't bear to give up on me, so they created this new eye for me."
Fortunately, this eyeball was not created randomly to fill the gap on the face.
What the research institute needs is a fighting machine. What kind of fighting machine is it if it is missing an eye?
Since it has been transplanted, it is better to transplant a more powerful artificial eye. It can not only make up for the range of vision, but also the weakness analysis can add some help in combat.
Themis is now using it very well and has to admit that this eyeball was a good replacement.
Humans tend to forget pain. He had forgotten that the eye rejection reaction took the longest time and caused the greatest reaction. He was in so much pain every day that he had difficulty sleeping and was almost abandoned by the institute.
Xie Yunsui quickly flipped through the physical examination records, deeply imprinting the time of each rejection reaction in his mind.
According to the medical examination reports for the past twelve years, there was a total of nearly five years of rejection.
Xie Yunsui said coldly, "Is there anyone still alive in the institute?"
Themis was startled by his sudden display of murderous intent. He was silent for a few seconds before answering, "The explosion razed the institute to the ground. I thought everyone was killed."
"But when you were hunted down later, you found out that those people in the research institute were just in the open, and there were deeper forces behind them?" Xie Yunsui continued.
Themis: “Yeah.”
Xie Yunsui: "Then do you know any clues?"
Themis: "You really want to know this information?"
"Of course, I—" Xie Yunsui paused, his eyes moving downwards. Seeing Ximis's hand still on the trigger, he was slightly startled. "You still don't believe me? Are you still testing me?"
Themis chuckled. "You've got the information. Take this and leave here. No matter which faction it belongs to, with your intelligence and talent, you can gain the power, status, money, or honor you desire with a little manipulation."
"Themis, I said I just want revenge on this institute, do you believe me?"
"certainly."
Many third-party pursuers want to dismantle the huge power of this research institute, take over their wealth, and gain favor with the Federation.
Xie Yunsui put down the documents and let his hands hang down helplessly: "You believe this, but you still don't believe me, right?"
Themis did not deny it.
Xie Yunsui pressed on, "If you don't trust me, why did you give me the information?"
Themis: "Just consider it as a kind of compensation for taking care of me for so long. After we leave here, just treat us as if we are dead and don't bother us anymore."
The two men were still talking and discussing something, but the little bee at the door felt a tense atmosphere.
Wow, the owner and Xiaoxi had a big fight this time.
The little bee retreated quietly, fearing that it would be cannon fodder. Xiaoxi in this world looked very capable in fighting, so let the owner solve it himself.
Xie Yunsui was also thinking quickly about how to dispel Xiaoxi's doubts.
But he confessed everything. He didn't resist even when he was pointed at with an energy gun. Also, he had taken care of Xiaoxi meticulously before, but that didn't mean he had any other intentions, right?
And his love was so strong that he almost shouted it out in front of all the Rust people with a loud speaker.
Why doesn’t Xiaoxi believe me?
Xie Yunsui could never have imagined that it was precisely because he performed so perfectly that Themis had to be on guard against him.
Her appearance immediately caught his favor, her food skills accurately hit the mark of his favorite, and no matter what happened, she was always emotionally stable and had no temper... Simis recalled the time when he fell, and compared it with A-Jiao, he found that he fell even faster than A-Jiao.
Rather than saying that he doesn't trust Xie Yunsui now, it's better to say that he trusts Xie Yunsui too much. He is trying hard to find his flaws to give himself a reason to take action against him.
The two men were in a stalemate for a long time. Xie Yunsui suddenly approached Ximis, scaring Ximis so much that he raised his gun.
Xie Yunsui said, "Just shoot."
Themis narrowed his eyes. What kind of trick is this?
Xie Yunsui: "I don't have any protective equipment. A normal person can't withstand this shot. As long as I don't die, will you believe that I am from another world?"
Without destruction, there is no construction. Xie Yunsui took the initiative to grab Ximis' hand and pulled the trigger.
The action was too fast and too sudden. Simis was startled and his fingers were pulled down. A flash of white light appeared at the muzzle of the gun.
His heart suddenly contracted, and the panic of losing Xie Yunsui turned into a wave of severe pain that swept through his body. Without even thinking, Ximis subconsciously turned the gun away from himself.
“Swoosh~”
The huge energy that was about to explode from the muzzle was easily dissipated by Xie Yunsui's hand. The white light turned into a wisp of white smoke and slowly dissipated between the two of them.
Themis' fingertips were still trembling slightly due to the recoil. He stared at Xie Yunsui's hand that blocked the energy bullet - the skin was intact, without even a trace of burn mark.
"Xiaoxi, your breathing is disordered."
Xie Yunsui approached again, his cotton pajamas touching his cold and hard combat uniform, his steadily beating heart touching another violently beating one.
Was he afraid of killing himself?
Only then did Xie Yunsui realize that Xiaoxi was not as cold to him as she appeared to be.
Xie Yunsui kissed his pale, bloodless lips and said, "It's impossible to drive me away. You've seen it, you can't kill me. Even if you don't trust me, you have to endure being with me. The rest of your life belongs to me. Without me, you won't even have a spaceship to escape from the Rust Planet..."
Xie Yunsui was still "threatening" him, but Ximis suddenly came back to life, threw away the energy gun, grabbed the back of his head, and kissed him back fiercely.
There was a faint smell of blood in his mouth, but Themis seemed unaware and continued to pester him almost aggressively.
After playing outside for a while and not hearing any sounds of fighting, the little bee quietly came back to find out what was going on.
Seeing the two of them arguing again, Little Bee thought to himself, as expected, they would definitely make up within two hours.
Fortunately, I didn't get involved just now. The little bee took several photos as evidence in revenge, and the dog sneaked away.
"……sorry."
Themis's muffled apology was drowned in his hot breath.
Xie Yunsui reached out and stroked his back, smoothing down his frizzy hair.
Half an hour later, the two left the dark room calmly.
Themis was no longer alert and vigilant. He sat on the sofa with a cup of milk in his hand and drank it sip by sip.
Xie Yunsui knew that the risky move was the right one, but he still couldn't understand: "Can I ask why you don't trust me?"
Themis looked at him and slowly told him Acho's story.
Xie Yunsui pondered and said, "You didn't realize that the man's oath was a lie?"
Ximis shook his head: "He is telling the truth. He really wants to spend his whole life with Qiao, but he can really do something to her."
No wonder Xiaoxi was still so wary of him after confirming his love. She was afraid that he was also that lieutenant who said he loved her but could turn his back on her at any time.
Xie Yunsui rubbed his head. This was a case of being afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. The price Themis paid for this trust was too high.
"And..." Themis continued, "You are too perfect. I can't find any weaknesses in you."
This means that Themis cannot exploit his weaknesses to control him, which is a very uncontrollable factor for him.
Xie Yunsui had a questioning look on his face: "Me? Perfect?"
Themis drank the milk and said, "You won't be angry even if I treat you like that."
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Because being angry will only lead to worse consequences. He and Xiaoxi have spent so many worlds together and are well versed in how husband and wife should get along. Instead of being angry, it is better to find a way to solve the problem.
But this Xiaoxi actually has so many problems because he doesn't get angry?
Angry!
Xie Yunsui's face suddenly fell.
