An abandoned star at the edge of the Nancy galaxy.
The so-called abandoned planet is a planet whose name cannot be shown even on the most complete map of the star network. It is just called "Blood Moon" by the people living on it. At first, it was called by outsiders, but later, more and more people called it, and it gradually became its name. Because of its special geology, when viewed from a distance on a spacecraft, the whole planet appears blood red, just like the blood-colored moon in the legends of humans before entering the interstellar era.
The pioneers at that time thought that there were some special minerals on this planet, and even triggered a round of looting. However, facts later proved that it was just a special color, and there was no treasure. The mine owner who spent a high price to snatch the mining rights was furious, and even did not report it when the alliance inspected the planet, just wishing to erase this failure from his life.
The planet doesn't even have a name, and its residents are marginal figures in the alliance.
However, most people on the Blood Moon had no complaints about this, and many of them even wished that the Alliance would completely forget about them.
——For example, the Alliance fugitives who fled here.
These unknown stars that were not included in the alliance for various reasons became their breeding ground, where they took root and sprouted, devouring each other and growing stronger.
As for the ordinary residents of the planet, living in such a dangerous place, you can never be too careful, and the best option is not to go out after dark.
But there are always unexpected things in life.
It was already dark, and the artificial atmosphere surrounding this abandoned planet had long lost its ability to simulate moonlight. At night, except for a few old, dilapidated light bulbs on the roadside that flickered with an unnatural, even eerie green light, the rest of the place was completely dark.
A thin and small figure was walking slowly among them, but the slightly rapid breathing showed that the child was not a predator roaming around at night, but a prey who was trying to disguise himself as a hunter in order to escape.
But in the eyes of the real evildoer, this disguise was too poor, just like a lamb pretending to be a wolf by covering itself with black cloth.
Behind him, a tall figure was looking at this place from afar, with a bloody smile on his lips.
The man touched the light blade he had just received and made a beautiful knife flower.
He had just acquired a new weapon and was about to test its power when a little lamb bumped into him.
"Thank you," he murmured happily.
It seemed like it was an honor to be used by him to try out new weapons.
He also thought so.
Even children would have a keen sense of crisis to survive in such a place.
When the blade of light approached, the boy suddenly turned sideways and dodged to the side. The lamp post behind him was cut in half like tofu, and a few drops of high-temperature melted liquid fell to the ground.
The boy avoided the fatal blow to his neck, but a burn mark was added on his arm which was subconsciously made in a protective gesture. The smell of burnt flesh spread in the space. The only light had been completely extinguished when the energy line on the lamppost was cut off. The boy's eyes fell into complete darkness. He couldn't even tell whether his eyes were open or closed.
Despair surged over him and his limbs trembled uncontrollably. He knew he had to run away quickly because he was surrounded by that horrible aura and the commands from his brain seemed to be cut off.
He could only hear the sound of his own teeth chattering, so clear in the silent night.
The man seemed to appreciate the dying struggle of his prey and did not take action immediately.
The child waited for a long time, but did not feel the pain he expected.
Until he heard...
After a muffled groan, there was a suppressed howl of pain.
—Or did he send it himself?
The boy was thinking in confusion, his extreme fear made his consciousness almost leave his body.
But he soon discovered that this was not the case.
There was a brighter color in the field of vision, as if someone was approaching with a lamp.
In a place like this at night, walking outside with a light on would make you a sitting duck.
Anyone who can do this is either a fool or a strong person.
And fools often don't survive a night.
The boy couldn't help but curl up.
Even his breathing was trembling with fear. He did not dare to look up at all and just stared at the ground.
As a result, he saw that the man who had pushed him into despair was lying on the ground twitching all over, with his facial features distorted in front of him, and his face was covered with wet marks from both snot and tears.
The boy choked on the cold air he inhaled, but he suppressed his cough.
Someone came to rescue him?
The child from the Abandoned Planet would not have such naive thoughts. He believed that the person who came looking for him was the enemy of the man on the earth.
Then they...
Maybe I don't have time to take care of him.
After realizing this, the boy's heart, which had almost stopped beating, suddenly started beating violently again. He bit his lower lip tightly to suppress his overly rapid breathing.
Between the two options of "staying where you are" and "taking the opportunity to escape", he chose the latter without much hesitation.
The boy had no idea that after the two of them had settled their personal grudges, they would not crush a small insect nearby.
The inexplicable fear made him dare not look up to see the person coming. The fear just now was still weighing heavily on his heart. He didn't know if he would still have the courage to run away after his eyes met. He just locked onto the unobstructed path on the ground and ran desperately in that direction at the fastest speed in his life.
Luckily, his bet was right, as both of them ignored a small bug and allowed it to escape.
But when he passed the corner, the boy, who should have continued running forward, turned his head back for some unknown reason.
In the darkness, the dim lights around the man seemed to bring warmth, and the golden hair seemed to be shining like the sun. His light-colored coat was propped up by him, and he stood there casually, but it seemed that even his posture was different from others. The boy didn't know how to describe it, just like those big figures he saw on the Star Network suddenly appeared.
There is a strange sense of disconnection between this figure and the surrounding environment, just like the light in his hand, which is out of tune with the dark street.
Are you here to rescue him?
The thought that had flashed by and was quickly drowned out suddenly popped up again.
——If it is such a person...
Maybe he really came to save him.
Is that the person Mom was talking about?
For some reason, he recalled the rumor that was a joke among the kids.
Are there really "good people" in a place like this?
That slight curiosity was quickly suppressed by the desire to survive. For a child living in such an environment, avoiding all dangers is instinctive. He just took a look and ran away without looking back.
The man on the ground had changed his low groaning into a strange hissing sound, similar to that of a snake.
The veins on his exposed arms bulged, and scales began to appear on them. The man saw the scales on his arm as he twisted his body. The sound of his screaming in pain paused, and his pupils, which had naturally expanded in the darkness, suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip. He then frantically scratched and tore at the growing scales, and soon his entire arm was covered in blood.
Chu Lu saw that the man did not faint immediately, but struggled on the spot and was confused for a while.
When I saw the scales, I exclaimed "Ah" in sudden realization.
He looked at the injection gun in his hand and asked: "Tong'er, didn't I ask you to fill it with anesthetic? ...The one in cabinet No. 3. Is this the deterioration agent in cabinet No. 8? Did you put it in the wrong one?"
The system expressed dissatisfaction with the host's doubts: [Bullshit! I took number 3! ! What a ridiculous order that cabinet has. It took me a long time to put 3 after 7...]
The system stopped abruptly when it said this, as if it was strangled.
Chu Lu held his forehead with his hand, and roughly understood what was going on.
What good thing could be in a "medicine cabinet" that has fallen into an abandoned planet?
Not only is the preservation agent ineffective, the label on it has long been worn and blurred, and the left half of the 8 has indeed been wiped off, making it look more like a 3.
However, he has been working in that store for two years, and the system that has been with him in and out of the store doesn't even know this. It's hard to tell what the other party does on a daily basis. Chu Lu made a "tsk" sound, but didn't say anything in the end, so as not to make his own system angry.
While he was communicating with the system, the man rolling on the ground had already grasped his arms until they were weak and blurred.
Chu Lu frowned and turned his head away as if in disgust.
He didn't have any special feelings about this little scene. As a staff member of the Space-Time Bureau who had come face to face with zombies, confronted with demons, and even rolled in the belly of strange beasts, the current situation was not even worth playing with.
But there is no way, who told him that he is now a pampered young nobleman?
Correction: the "former young master" who fell into the abandoned planet - Luther Adrian.
Although this thing on the ground is definitely not a good thing, we can't just let it deteriorate.
Chu Lu was looking for the repair potion while changing the subject with the system, [How is it going? Did you find any results? ]
This is Chu Lu’s second time entering this world.
As a staff member of the Space-Time Bureau, his daily job is to travel through the newly created small worlds, maintaining the original fate of the worlds on behalf of the supporting characters who died unexpectedly or were never born. This is to prevent the lack of key characters from causing the small worlds evolved from the stories to go off track, resulting in some unpredictable consequences... such as the world being destroyed and restarted.
And now, entering this world for the second time, Chu Lu can feel that the fragile period when this world was first formed has passed, that is to say, the plot of its origin has been completed. The next step is to break away from the so-called storyline and form a normal and complete world. This period is not a period for their staff to intervene.
The Space-Time Bureau is only responsible for maintaining the newly born small world so that it will not be destroyed. Once it is running normally, they should not interfere too much. Even the staff who survive to the end of the plot will find a way to "exit", not to mention Chu Lu who has already "retired".
But this time, rather than saying that Chu Lu took the initiative to intervene, it was more like he was forcibly pulled into this world.
——Completely unexpected overtime work!!
He had heard of this kind of situation where someone was forcibly pulled back in the experience exchange forum in the bureau. The power of will gathered by some predecessors on some missions in the small world was too strong, and too many people wanted him to come back alive. Occasionally, after the plot was over, the person would be forcibly pulled back by the world consciousness and resurrected on the spot, giving the character a new destiny. This situation was jokingly called "filling in the extra chapter" by the predecessors.
But Chu Lu never thought that this would happen to him. From the experience shared by the seniors, he knew that he would be forcibly pulled back because the characters he played were "heroic" enough and "white moonlight" enough, such as the great lord of heaven who was begging for the people, the saint who suppressed the demons with his body...
But Chu Lu's situation is a little different. The department he is in the bureau belongs to a branch that specializes in playing villains, and most of the characters he is in charge of are unlikable cannon fodder villains.
The current Master Adrian is one of his early roles. It is a very stereotyped tool man role, which is perfect for newcomers to practice.
Chu Lu did not disappoint, he hit almost every plot point correctly and got an A-level rating from the bureau - for such a small character, getting such a rating was already a perfect score.
In the plot, what he has to do is very simple. As the young master of the Adrian family and a rare genius in medicine, he only needs to rely on his talent and family background to be arrogant and domineering, and desperately find faults with the protagonist after he enters school, and then get slapped in the face, and repeat this process over and over again. Finally, when he tried to seize the protagonist's research results, he was exposed, which made the whole family lose face. He was also severely scolded for this, and in a fit of anger, he ran to an alien galaxy to travel and relax, and then unfortunately encountered space pirates.
Why do evil people always get their comeuppance?
Everyone on the starship survived except him, who failed to see the situation clearly and still acted like he did on the capital planet, disobeying orders and running around aimlessly, eventually dying in the shipwreck.
This minor character is not likable. He is not even the final boss. He is just a cannon fodder who constantly gives experience and warmth to the protagonist during his growth stage. Chu Lu has played this role several times in the simulation exercises in the bureau, and he is very familiar with it.
He just couldn't figure out how it was possible for this person to gather the power of will.
The only people who might miss him a little are Luther's family.
This was exactly what he had asked the system to investigate earlier.
Luther's parents were naturally sad about the loss of their youngest son, but they still had their careers and an eldest son whom they could mourn and be proud of. Although they were sad about the death of this child who had disappointed them time and time again, they managed to remain normal.
This is also the reason why Chu Lu deliberately maintained it.
For the staff, they know their ending early on, and rarely establish overly close relationships within the small world unless necessary.
But it’s not difficult to actually do this.
In the interstellar age, conceiving a child only requires two cells from both parents, and the embryo's growth and development take place outside the body, which completely liberates women. However, this also makes family ties increasingly fragile.
Moreover, both Luther's father as an admiral and his mother as a logistics worker are really busy.
...very busy.
Chu Lu's longest record was that he hadn't seen his parents for three consecutive years, not even a text message. If the child support hadn't arrived on time, Chu Lu would have almost thought that his parents had died in the line of duty, and their colleagues had forgotten to notify him :)
