90. Be a thief
The ocean is one of the most dangerous places in the universe.
The sea embraces all rivers and has a rich variety of species. Correspondingly, the probability of being infected by strange factors is also greatly increased.
Therefore, Su Liu has never been able to understand why the military headquarters was placed on an island.
Under the night sky, the waves stirred up by the hurricane are like a giant beast with its huge mouth open, as if it can swallow the entire world.
"It's so scary. I don't want to take a boat ride." Su Liu muttered softly.
Half an hour later, the cruise ship docked and a black car parked there picked up the two people.
As the internal affairs secretary of the Ives family, Selina knows a lot of inside information.
In the car, she teased, "Have you finally decided to marry the Third Young Master?"
How is that possible?
Su Liu thought to himself.
She would rather spend her life with poop than take wedding vows with Ansel.
Agreeing to the engagement was only a temporary solution, and she believed that things would turn around in the future, so she told Victor to give up the idea.
Silena was bored and just wanted to play a game when she heard Su Liu ask, "I noticed that the three of them, the eldest young master, look quite different. They must be half-brothers, right?"
Silena said, "Isn't this obvious?"
Among the three, Vincent looks the most like Victor. They both have blond hair and blue eyes, and their facial features are deep and three-dimensional, especially their deep eye sockets and high nose bridge.
Ansel has a pair of dark brown eyes, much like cat's eyes in the night, sparkling with a moving and gorgeous light.
Huo Jie's eyes were similar to Victor's, and the emerald green color was more dazzling than jade.
But his hair color is a mysterious and elegant pure black, which can be distinguished from the eldest and third young masters at a glance.
Su Liu had been puzzled for a long time, and Silena did not hide it from her.
"All three don't have the same mother. The eldest's mother died young, and the third's mother also passed away from illness a few years ago. As for the second young master..." Selina whispered, "You'd better pray that you don't run into that person."
Su Liu's gossip spirit was burning: "Is that person difficult to get along with? What kind of person is he?"
Selina smiled bitterly and said, "You'd better not ask. Anyway, you are engaged to the Third Young Master, so you probably won't have many opportunities to spend time with this guy."
The more she said this, the more curious Su Liu became, and he felt as itchy as a cat scratching.
Unfortunately, before he could ask further questions, the car had already arrived at Ives's castle.
The silver-haired butler came to greet her personally. After opening the car door, he glanced at Selina first, then said to Su Liu respectfully, "Welcome home, Miss Su Liu. It's late today. You can go back to your room to rest after dinner. If you need anything, please let me know."
Su Liu thanked her and said goodbye to Silena, then grabbed his bag and headed to the guest room as he knew the way.
The silver-haired butler didn't follow immediately, but just looked at Silena meaningfully.
"You didn't say anything nonsense in front of Miss Su Liu, did you?"
Being stared at by those sharp eyes, Selina felt a little guilty. She shrank a little further into the car and whispered, "Of course I didn't say anything I couldn't say. But Grandpa, she'll be a member of the Ives family sooner or later anyway. There's no need to hide some unimportant things from her, right?"
The deacon knocked her forehead helplessly.
"Whether you should speak or not is not up to you. If you want to stay in the Ives family for a long time, you must learn to keep your mouth shut. This is what I taught you from the beginning."
In the familiar guest room, Su Liu, who had eaten and drunk his fill, fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a noise on the balcony.
When she woke up, her heart tightened. She pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, and finally tiptoed to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Through the hazy and gorgeous gauze curtain, the tall and slender figure on the balcony is vaguely visible.
Su Liu's heart was in his throat.
Thief?
The security here can be said to be one of the tightest in the entire empire. Not to mention thieves, even mosquitoes can't get in.
So, is it a different species?
Su Liu took out the jade fan from the ring and gently opened the floor-to-ceiling window a crack.
Just as she was about to attack the shadow, the figure spoke first: "Are you going to be a thief?"
The familiar deep voice startled Su Liu, causing him to freeze in his tracks, and the fan in his hand almost flew out.
It was past three in the morning. Su Liu was walking in the corridor yawning. The characters in the paintings on the wall seemed to be laughing at her stupid behavior.
Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Su Liu finally couldn't help asking, "General, what are we going to steal?"
Huo Jie came back secretly. At this moment, he was still wearing his military uniform, and his epaulettes reflected a little light in the moonlight.
Turning slightly, the Admiral didn't stop and just said, "Aren't you curious about what was written in that letter your adoptive father sent to Vion?"
Of course Su Liu was curious.
One of the things she regretted most in her life was that she didn't open the letter first, so that she wouldn't have to be troubled by so many mysteries.
"But do you know where Vion hid the letter?" When Su Liu came back today, he heard Selina say that the admiral almost dug up the foundation of the castle in order to find the letter.
Imagining the scene of Huo Jie squatting on the ground and digging in the mud with a small hoe, Su Liu felt that it was extremely unbelievable.
At the end of the corridor, the brown carved door was closed, but there was a screen above it with a humanoid artificial intelligence on it.
"Good evening, Second Young Master," said the pale, curly-haired girl on the screen. "You do not have permission to enter unless you have Vion's approval."
Huo Jie pretended not to hear, opened the combination lock beside him, and tried a few passwords he guessed.
"There aren't many places in this castle to hide valuables. If it's not in the study and it's valuable enough, then it can only be placed here."
The AI's immutable face showed no emotion, but its tone shifted from gentle to warning. "Please stop, Second Young Master. You've entered the wrong password seven times. If you do it three more times, I will attack you as programmed."
Seeing Huo Jie continuing to lose unmoved, Su Liu asked quietly, "If we lose ten times, how will it attack us?"
Jump out and fight them?
After the ninth incorrect entry, Huo Jie ignored the AI's sharp warning and tried the tenth: "It will launch concentrated anti-personnel homing missiles, locking onto the target and continuing to attack until it is completely shattered."
Su Liu: “…”
She still wants to live, what should she do?
bite--
It was very obvious that the last chance was exhausted and the artificial intelligence launched an attack.
The originally smooth wall was dotted with dense gun muzzles, at least hundreds if not thousands. Countless concentrated missiles were ready to be launched, and even the air began to heat up and distort.
Su Liu had no way to deal with this kind of technological product. Just as she was desperately holding her head and waiting to go to hell to dance, she suddenly saw Huo Jie snap his fingers, and all the metal gun barrels made a crisp sound.
It was as if there was an internal malfunction, the gun barrels were smoking and shaking, and even the attack program became garbled, unable to launch the personal-seeking missile as set.
Su Liu opened his mouth wide and watched as the AI prepared to launch a second round of attack.
But Huo Jie reached out and forcibly pulled out the main brain embedded in the wall, crumpled it into a ball and threw it far away.
The extremely flexible liquid metal was like a kitten in his hands, and he didn't even know how it was torn into pieces.
