Chapter 18 Parrot
Guan Jiu's.
Children?
More than one child?
Fu Jiao's head was buzzing, and it took him a long time to react and comfort himself.
Yes, it's normal. It's been thousands of years. They can't be treated as cubs.
What's wrong with adults getting married and having children after thousands of years! This is absolutely normal!
More than...more than one child is understandable! Thousands of years are enough to give birth to hundreds of children!
Small problem, small problem!
"..."
So, in fact, Baoying and the others all have families and children?
The Supreme God suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. Could it be that her perception of herself is still that Meimei is a single parent raising four children, and the fact has evolved to her being a grandmother with six generations living together?
Fu Jiao was shocked by Deng Baoying's words and fell into deep thought.
After receiving the message from the research institute, the starship of the Inspectorate, which was still traveling on the star orbit to and from the capital, had already changed direction and headed towards the dark star.
The Federation has a vast territory, with hundreds of star fields continuously linked and operating. Most of the star fields are safely covered by the laws and protection of the Federation.
However, there are also star fields that have been extremely chaotic from beginning to end and have been occupied by neutral and plundering factions for a long time.
The Federation is accustomed to calling these star fields "dark stars."
There are many dark stars and they are very likely to give rise to various anti-social organizations such as pirates. Similarly, in the minds of the public, it is also synonymous with debauchery and sensuality.
Since Guan Jiu used his iron-blooded tactics and unquestionable attitude to forcefully control the dark star region, it has obviously become more peaceful than before - or in other words, it has more rules and regulations than before, and vicious incidents such as violent street slashing will not often occur. Even the Inspectorate can be stationed there to play a buffering role.
But even so, it is still dangerous.
Illegal human body modification, gambling auctions, the sale of deformed and violent mecha machinery, and various drugs and laboratories that challenge the bottom line of morality... are everywhere.
Every year, the relevant departments of the Federation's high-level official departments release propaganda videos to remind people not to enter the Dark Star region at will. Even if they need to enter for special reasons, they must report to the Inspectorate and enter under the escort of special security personnel.
But even with complete procedures, there are still many money-obsessed citizens who sneak across the border into the star region, hoping to make a name for themselves in this lawless area.
At a private gathering, Guan Jiu once slowly shook his wine glass and mentioned these people with a smile.
He said that the black market likes to call these people "fat sheep."
Stupid, docile, and non-aggressive fat sheep.
The Inspectorate is extremely efficient. Although Deng Baoying expressed his reluctance to meddle in other people's business, in order to avoid all kinds of unnecessary troubles - Fu Jiao guessed that this hypothetical trouble was closely related to himself - that night, the huge and shocking starship of the Inspection Court docked at the port of call in the Dark Star Region.
That night, the entire starship was quite lively, and the members of each group of the Inspection Court were busy at their workstations.
The starship door was open, and Fu Jiao leaned on the observation deck set up on the top of the starship. Outside the semi-enclosed electromagnetic glass terrace, countless lights were bright, almost revealing prosperity and obscenity. Looking down from the sky, the Supreme God saw countless sticky threads that symbolized desire.
They were tied into a web like spider silk, swirling densely in the air, presenting a sense of temptation like a trap.
The aura of the entire planet was so dark, dirty and shiny, just like a sugar ball with golden exterior and rotten inside. It seemed
unusually busy outside the docking port. Even in the Dark Star region, it was rare to see such a distinguished guest.
Deng Baoying didn't care about the almost flattering message and gift content sent by the Dark Star Manager. He just put on a white military uniform, pointed a group of people and went out of the starship directly, with a powerful and indifferent demeanor. Before leaving, he specifically told Green not to let Fu Jiao leave the starship.
This is Dark Star, which happens to be one of Guan Jiu's territories.
Dark Star has many people and is well-informed. Guan Jiu's group of cockroaches are running around everywhere. Deng Baoying couldn't help but frown when he thought of this. The radical griffon felt that even if a little dirty look fell on the Lord of God, it would be a blasphemy and pollution to Fu Jiao, and it would be his great dereliction of duty.
However, if such words were said in front of Fu Jiao, he might be called crazy again.
Green followed the order and did not leave with Deng Baoying in this operation. Instead, he stayed in the starship to provide data and reconnaissance support. He also turned on the surveillance on the observation deck on the top of the starship to vaguely check the girl's movement trajectory.
Fortunately, Fu Jiao did not seem to leave the starship to join in the excitement.
In the surveillance, the strange cub just leaned on the glass table, looking at the bird's-eye view of the entire dark star with a strange look.
Then, vaguely, as if intentionally or unintentionally, he scanned the surveillance that was quietly turned on.
Just that one glance made Green, who was behind the surveillance, inexplicably exude a little chill of fear.
It was as if she seemed to have discovered someone was spying on her.
Although he did not make any reaction, he implicitly expressed his displeasure with this kind of voyeurism.
*
This night was indeed lively, both for the Inspectorate and
for the starship .
Fu Jiao looked at the scenery for a long time, and the Supreme God, who had nothing to do and had no work at all, walked down the observation deck. The starship turned around and curiously watched the busy crew members running around, operating various small mechas or mechanical devices to send magnetic wave signals and detection maps. Suddenly, the first-floor starship door was shaken open by a loud bang.
The sound was deafening, and the busy staff in the hall seemed to be stunned in place, and the electronic dogs and auxiliary robots running around also slowed down their movements.
Under the bright and dazzling light, a strange and noisy male voice was heard.
"...Let me go!! Let me go! Do you know who I am? Let me go... You, the Inspection Court, are meddling in other people's business too much! Where is my adoptive father? I want to talk to my adoptive father! You, you let me go too... How dare you do this to me!!"
Then, Deng Baoying took a deep breath and rebuked him in an extremely cold tone: "Shut up."
With a scream, a bright purple thing was pulled by the collar and thrown into the center of the hall, shocking the small robots next to it and running away on wheels.
There was an awkward silence in the hall, and the members of the inspection court watched the bright purple thing in the center squirming and howling in silence.
"Child abuse!! You are abusing... Someone come! I want to contact my adoptive father! I want to apply for interstellar protection!!"
"..."
When the bright purple cloth climbed up, Fu Jiao saw clearly that it was a person.
A young man.
The young man had curly hair dyed with pink and purple highlights, and the feather ears of the bird subspecies were also bright in color. He was trembling slightly because of fear and pretending to be calm.
A thin purple jacket with a fur collar made of laser fabric and ripped shorts with metal chains made a jingling sound when it was shaken. The short-sleeved shirt inside had an abstract parrot painted on it. The
trendy wing-shaped smart computer on his wrist was playing a little tune.
Fu Jiao hung on the escalator and carefully examined the young man's somewhat wolfish face, showing a bit of doubt.
He doesn't look like Guan Jiu.
The young man with pink and purple hair rolled over and climbed up.
Perhaps the silent expressions of the onlookers were too complicated, the shameless young man's face gradually turned red, and he stammered and said in a pretentious manner: "You are kidnapping... Yes, it is illegal hostage-taking! I demand judicial protection! Judicial protection!"
Green stood behind Deng Baoying and kindly reminded him: "Master Guan, bringing you back is a tacit move by the black market and the research institute. What's more, you are on bail now, and you cannot apply for judicial protection from the Inspectorate for the time being."
There was a dead silence in the hall. Deng Baoying stood indifferently in the light, slowly adjusting his cuffs with an unhappy expression.
His neat white military uniform was stained with a little mud, and a few buttons on his cuffs were broken off, probably because of the struggle just now.
The young man with pink and purple hair probably realized his situation, and he pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, muttered a few words, patted his clothes and staggered around.
"Even if that's the case, you can't, you can't..." He stammered.
He looked back at Deng Baoying, who pulled up the corners of his mouth and sneered, and threw something over. The young man with pink and purple hair screamed, and his feather ears fluttered over to catch it steadily, put it in his arms carefully, and blew away the dust on it.
"Can you be more careful... This is a new ultra-high-end holographic automatic game console, a limited edition..." The pink-purple-haired boy muttered while holding the game console, "This old man really doesn't understand young people... He's just like my adoptive father, no, he's even more old-fashioned than my adoptive father..." "
I can't go back to watch." Deng Baoying interrupted him coldly.
The pink-purple-haired young man shrank his neck reflexively after being called like that.
Based on this reflex, Fu Jiao guessed that the child had been beaten up by Deng Baoying before returning to the starship.
However, the Lion Griffin obviously did not intend to teach the rebellious parrot kid a lesson in front of so many people. He waved his hand, signaling the crowd of onlookers with complex expressions of pity and awe to disperse.
The dead silence in the hall was finally broken. The members of the Inspection Court, who had been watching the show for a long time, seemed to suddenly remember that they still had various unfinished tasks. They returned to their respective workstations and went to the meetings with their respective team members. The starship was noisy again.
Before the young man with pink and purple hair could find a suitable place to hide the game console, the shadow of the light reached out and grabbed his fur collar again, and dragged him directly into the starship elevator.
"Hey, hey, hey... don't grab my clothes, this is also a limited edition of a famous brand, please!!! Don't, ah, ah, ah——"
The miserable screams were drowned out by the noise of robots running and people working in the office.
Fu Jiao silently opened the potato chips he had just bought from the vending machine and followed in a flash.
*
"Guan Buhui."
"He showed up at the Southern Star Region Transmission Port last month, and inexplicably appeared on Dark Star a week ago. Not only did he spend a lot of money in various casinos and game halls, he also spent 10 million star coins at an auction to buy the latest model of top-level racing car from Dark Star, and signed up for the Dark Star underground racing competition."
"Unfortunately, the quality of the car had not been officially inspected. The engine and high-speed flame jet had obvious defects, and it was scrapped before the race even started. You went to the auction to organize the venue to defend your rights, but you were insulted and driven away. In anger, you activated the A-139 attack-class medium-sized portable alloy mecha, which is prohibited from driving in the city, and destroyed the buildings in the auction venue. You also rushed onto the high-speed track that is only for civilian aircraft carriers while being chased by several drones and supersonic airships, and drove the alloy mecha at high speed."
"Finally, because he violated many joint laws in the Dark Star region, he was taken back to the city by the Inspectorate and the Dark Star Peacekeeping Team for interrogation and investigation."
Deng Baoying announced the documents in his hand in a calm and expressionless tone, folded the paper version of the interrogation report, and stared at the pink and purple-haired young man standing awkwardly in front of him with a pair of sharp light golden vertical pupils without sadness or joy.
"Do you think you are handsome?" he asked.
Guan Buhui was speechless.
The young man's hands were handcuffed with electromagnetic metal handcuffs that prohibited the use of force, and his furry pink and purple fur was also messy, and his expression was quite decadent.
Obviously, he should belong to the group of rich second-generation young masters who are used to being spoiled. This feeling of being treated as a prisoner made the pink-purple-haired young man very dissatisfied, but he could do nothing about it.
After a while, Guan Buhui looked away guiltily, muttering: "It's very handsome... And I haven't been injured for so long with speed and passion. This is simply the highlight of my life... If the Inspectorate hadn't sent people to block it, I might have been able to run to the next star field..."
Deng Baoying's fingertips tapped the pen a few times, and Guan Buhui immediately shut up and stopped talking.
It was obvious that he was scared of being beaten.
"Not to mention that driving a medium-sized high-density alloy mecha onto the highway without authorization is a double dereliction of duty for your own safety and the safety of the residents - I believe that with your personality you would not think so far," Griffin paused slightly, then frowned, "Just this night, more than a dozen illegal traces have been recorded in your file... Until your adoptive father uses non-public means to eliminate them for you, your account and travel permit will be blocked."
"?!"
Guan Buhui widened his eyes, his ears shuddered slightly, and an expression of disbelief emerged on his young face: "Huh? What kind of new regulation is this?" "
..." Deng Baoying pinched his eyebrows, "The Inspection Court had already issued it as early as last year..."
"No! Absolutely not!!"
The purple-haired young man with feather ears jumped up with a start. His bright purple laser clothes fluttered and reflected the light, making him look like a doll wrapped in exaggerated cellophane.
As he jumped up, the sparkling accessories on his body began to jingle. From the perspective of the aesthetics of the shadow embraced by the light, he would be a living target on the battlefield.
This point is similar to Guan Jiu.
"My final payment for September has not been paid yet, and the peripherals I bought haven't arrived yet. I'm going to be left out on the Star Network platform aaaaaaaaa!!!" Guan Buhui's face showed a miserable expression. He trembled and staggered over. His handcuffed hands were pressed on Deng Baoying's large desk. His ears drooped, and he looked like an eggplant hit by frost. "Can't you use the special privileges of you hypocritical federal senior officials? I mean... you know what I mean, right? It's those procedures..."
"No." Deng Baoying said concisely.
"Then what research institute did you let to hack into the big data account? I mean..."
"During the thirty-day ban period, no trace of the account data can be changed, even if your adoptive father comes." Deng Baoying paused slightly, and when he mentioned Guan Jiu, he raised the corner of his mouth a little, showing an almost imperceptible sarcasm, "I can't help you within thirty days."
Guan Buhui's little face turned pale visibly, and he hurriedly raised his smart computer to look, but when he opened the payment page, a huge bright red cross was clearly displayed.
"How could it be so fast? Ahhhh! You must have done it on purpose!" The pink-purple-haired young man collapsed in impotent rage, "My adoptive father was right!! You decent characters are really no good! You all look like human beings but you are evil inside!!"
It can be seen that the child seems to be really frustrated, and then he spoke a string of unclear language, probably an avian dialect.
Griffins are also considered half flying species, and Deng Baoying's face darkened again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"And now that things have come to this, I wanted to say just now... With your level, your office should also be one of the areas of the starship that requires permission to enter!!!"
The pink-purple-haired man took a deep breath and pointed his trembling finger at the sofa next to him.
"How come an unknown kid can sneak in... What on earth is this little thing for!!"
"Crack. "
"...Huh?"
Following the direction he pointed, Deng Baoying saw Fu Jiao sitting on the sofa next to him.
The Supreme God was originally watching quietly, but when he was suddenly called, he pointed at himself blankly.
"Huh? Me?"
She was really short now, and the sofa base was a bit high. The Supreme God had to curl up her legs and put her chin on her knees. Her soft black hair had grown longer, and when it was loosened, her skin looked a little pale, thin and pale, as if she had not seen the sun for many years. From the appearance, she was so weak that she didn't even have any fighting power or resistance.
Hearing the roll call, Fu Jiao raised his head, and the golden pupils that had just drooped were exposed under the light, as if flashing gorgeous, complex, redundant, stimulating photosensitivity and fragments.
... Golden eyes...?
Guan Buhui was stunned for a moment, just now he was still complaining and guessing whether Deng Baoying, an old monster of the same generation as his adoptive father, also had some unique and strange XP, and was hiding a weak cub in a golden house.
But these thoughts disappeared like soap bubbles the moment he looked into the pair of strange golden pupils that were clearly plain, but mixed with indescribable temperament.
It was as if... just linking the owner of these eyes with those secret imaginations
was a kind of blasphemy.
Just like the young store manager who first discovered Fu Jiao when she arrived, Guan Buhui also fell into a strange slowness and hallucination.
The young subspecies did not have the strong mental power of the old monster. His brain, stimulated by the light sensitivity and the reflection of the fragments, began to move slowly and slowly until he was awakened by the sound of the pen cap of Deng Baoying's fountain pen hitting the table.
"..." Guan Buhui swallowed hard, as if he suddenly realized something. He looked at Deng Baoying and then at the strange cub.
"Illegitimate...illegitimate daughter?"
*
The consequences of speaking without thinking are terrible.
Fifteen minutes later, Guan Buhui had several more pairs of handcuffs on his body.
The poor young pink and purple parrot tried to cause trouble in the office but failed. With tears in his eyes, his hands and feet were tied up. Metal cuffs and electromagnetic handcuffs carry weak electric currents, which will not cause harm to the human body but will make it itchy and numb. They are specially used to discipline some rebellious and powerful young people.
After being handcuffed, Guan Buhui could only crawl and twist unwillingly on the thick carpet, and he was more determined that he had discovered the truth that the president of the Inspection Court was a beast in human form. Otherwise,
why would Deng Baoying suddenly attack him and put so many metal handcuffs on him! If this is not a guilty conscience, then what is it!!
And the golden-eyed cub next to him who is suspected to be an illegitimate daughter is also very strange!
Standing next to Deng Baoying like a master, he advised him kindly and said some strange things like "Oh, forget it, the child is still young and doesn't know anything", "This silly child will drool even if he is cured like this", "Okay, stop it, or he will be shocked stupid after a while"! What a joke!
She is obviously a cub, right?
He is an adult parrot who has already reached adulthood for three months!
Guan Buhui twisted on the ground unwillingly, and his blocked mouth made an indistinct howling sound. Deng Baoying reluctantly calmed down under the advice of the god, and leaned down. The slender fingertips wearing snow-white leather gloves pressed the metal shackles of the gag, and with a look of slight disgust, he untied the restraints on the young man's voice.
"Stop your nonsense here, before I change my mind and throw you back to jail, or throw you to a marginal galaxy and let you drift."
The griffon looked down at his wolfish appearance and said coldly: "You'd better tell me the truth about why you appeared in the Dark Star Region." Guan
Buhui, who came from the black market and is the young master, is still very secretive. He pretended that he was still being gagged, hesitating and refusing to speak for a long time, and even made excuses that he was thirsty and needed to drink water, and he couldn't chat without water.
Deng Baoying nodded and called a few robots. The cold mechanical arm pulled Guan Buhui's mouth open and forcibly poured water into it.
The spoiled young master of the black market could not endure this kind of torture. He surrendered after just a few minutes, his eyes reddened, and he sobbed for mercy.
"Black-hearted...sanctimonious and righteous with no sense of public morality!" Guan Buhui angrily denounced, "My adoptive father was right, you guys even took ruthless actions against minors... And that inspection court is really the resident place of a bunch of black-hearted guys! I've heard from people in the black market that you guys are unscrupulous..." "
No matter how unscrupulous you are, you are not as unscrupulous as us," Deng Baoying coldly stretched out his fingers and shook them lightly, "What's more, you have been an adult for three months and can bear the relevant legal responsibilities."
"This is not the point at all!!!"
In Fu Jiao's sympathetic eyes that were more for watching the show, Lion Griffin ignored Guan Buhui's fierce protest and politely made a gesture of "please speak".
