Chapter 052 He Xile thought to himself, it turns out I’m still a hot commodity.
"Sister Snake, dismantle his terminal and replace it with a translator," said the man who could disguise himself. "I'm going to turn off the jammer."
"Um."
This time, the half-petrified woman did not argue with the other party.
She agreed lazily and squatted in front of He Xile.
Taking out the tools, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at He Xile's face. She hadn't intended to say anything, but when the time came, she still warned: "It will be a little painful, just bear with it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't give He Xile time to prepare and started right away.
There was a sharp stinging pain.
He Xile's scalp felt numb.
He pursed his lips, and beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.
After the terminal was forcibly dismantled and a translator was installed, the woman known as Sister Snake couldn't help but look at He Xile again: "Not bad, you didn't say a word the whole time."
The disguised man was also staring at He Xile. He sneered, "This human is quite clever. After I caught him, he quickly realized I was a fake. He knew keeping quiet was the wisest option."
Seeing He Xile sitting there with a pale face and sweat still on his forehead, the man picked up a pack of tissues and threw them into He Xile's arms. He continued, "It was better when we were lying in the museum. We could just carry it and leave. Unlike now, we are awake and there are many guards in the palace. If that Wen guy hadn't left, we would definitely -"
At this point, the disguised man paused and said unhappily, "It's so troublesome."
"...Who can I blame for this? I told you last year that everything was ready, let's get started. But you insisted on waiting, and I don't know what you were waiting for. In the end, you just woke me up."
Sister Snake sneered and put away the tools in her hands and He Xile's terminal.
"Are you always so stubborn?"
The disguised man said disdainfully, "The reason I didn't do anything was, of course, I was waiting for a buyer. At the time, there were many people bidding, so if I wanted to sell it at a good price, I had to delay it. Now, although the person is awake, it is a bit troublesome, but the price..."
The man narrowed his eyes.
"That's true."
Of course, the price for awake humans is higher.
After all, this is the only human in the entire empire, and he has no secondary characteristics. This level of preciousness...
Those nobles must have gone crazy with excitement, right?
He Xile listened quietly beside him and roughly understood it.
It seems that this group of people had already made up their minds to steal He Xile and sell him when he was still in the museum, but because the price was not right, they decided to wait a little longer. Unexpectedly, they woke He Xile up.
However, at this time, the plan and preliminary preparations had been completed, and the buyer had been negotiated. Of course, this group of people could not give up, so they had to change their plan and kidnap people from the palace.
Wen Ji and His Majesty were always there before, so they couldn't do it.
Now, after finally waiting for His Majesty to leave, another organization took advantage of the chaos to attack the palace. It was simply the perfect time, place, and people. Using the disguised man's ability, pretending to be 168, they successfully stole He Xile out...
Good job.
You are really persistent.
He Xile thought, if one had this kind of perseverance that lasted for more than two years, wouldn't he be a successful person no matter what industry he was in?
Do I have to do this???
After the spacecraft entered space, it was set to automatic navigation mode.
The driver had been itching to go for a ride for a long time, and now he finally had some free time.
He came in front of He Xile, looked him up and down, and said in a surprised tone: "So this is a human..." As he said that, the driver turned on the terminal and filmed He Xile in 360 degrees. "Look, a human up close, hey-"
The disguised man glanced at him and said, "...idiot."
The driver glared at him and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"Just talk to whoever speaks up."
Sister Snake frowned: "Alright, alright, stop being so angry all day..."
"none of your business?"
"How do you speak?"
"How about we just have a fight?"
"Fight me if you want, who's afraid of who? You talk as if I'm afraid of you!"
"...Come on, if you keep arguing, I'll just crash my spaceship into the comet and we'll all perish together!"
He Xile: “???”
He Xile sat aside, looking confused.
no?
Why did these three start fighting among themselves first???
And most importantly, if you three want to die together, just die together. Don't take me with you!? I don't want to die yet!
He Xile was afraid that they would do something weird out of anger, so he couldn't help but say, "Calm down."
As soon as he spoke, the three of them looked at He Xile at the same time.
He Xile blinked and said earnestly, "Think about it, you just went through so much trouble to kidnap a human, and before the transaction was completed, you got the star coins and enjoyed the happiness of being rich, but you died like this. Don't you think it's a loss?"
Pilot: "Hiss, this human is right."
Everyone: “…”
"snort."
The disguised man looked a little pale. He rubbed his temples with his hand and stood up, saying, "I'm going to rest first. When I wake up, I hope the spacecraft has arrived safely on Obsidian Planet."
The driver snorted through his nose: "Got it."
After the disguised man left.
Only the driver and Snake Sister were left.
Sister Snake said slowly, "You know he just used up all his mental energy and is feeling uncomfortable. Why are you competing with him?"
Driver: "I couldn't help it. If it were you, could you bear it?"
Sister Snake thought about it and said honestly, "It's really not possible."
As they spoke, both of them looked at He Xile.
He Xile had been sitting in the corner as quiet as a chicken, but suddenly he felt a creepy feeling as if he was being stared at like a prey.
What do these two people want to do?
But as long as he cooperates, he shouldn't be hurt.
——Of course, the seller must ensure the integrity of the goods before selling them. This is the most basic trading principle.
He Xile quickly figured it out.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
"Humans are really different," the pilot said. "They're not afraid at all."
"Different species, right? That's understandable. Come on, little human, take a few photos with your sister. I want this heart-shaped gesture, you should be able to cooperate, right?"
Sister Snake smiled and reached out to touch her hair, looking very charming.
He Xile breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Okay."
It's just a photo shoot, nothing wrong with that.
After a while.
Sister Snake frowned.
She looked at the photos and shook her head, saying, "No, no, could you not be so cooperative with your expression? Don't smile. Be a little humiliating, so that everyone knows you were forced to do this and that we captured you."
He Xile: “…”
You are really amazing.
Party A's father demanded that He Xile, as the captured Party B, could only endure the humiliation.
"Hey, that's the right expression. You have a talent for acting. Maybe you can become a big star in the future."
Sister Snake said casually that she was very excited and dragged He Xile to take pictures for dozens of minutes. Finally, she was satisfied and picked out a few good-looking photos from hundreds of photos and started...
One-click photo editing.
The driver who had been watching from the sidelines was eager to take action and said, "Let's take a few photos too?"
He Xile: "...Okay. What type do you need?"
The driver rubbed his hands together and said, "Just be like her!"
Okay.
The destination, Obsidian, was a remote star in a galaxy far, far away from Empire. They had to perform a jump, which could span over a billion light-years, five or six times before finally entering the target star field.
"Sister Snake, I just checked. The reserve fuel is exactly as we planned, more than enough," the pilot said. "The spacecraft will be docked in another half hour. We can use this time to contact the buyer and prepare for the inspection and transaction."
Sister Snake: "Well, go wake up Canglong."
Driver: “…Go ahead.”
Sister Snake: "No, you go."
The two pushed and shoved for a long time, and finally turned their attention to He Xile, a bystander standing nearby.
He Xile: “…”
The three of them looked at each other in silence for a while.
He Xile stood up resignedly and pointed to the hatch: "Is that it?"
Sister Snake: "Yes."
He Xile thought, these two are really not shy, huh? Aren't they afraid that after he goes in, they'll take advantage of the disguised man named Canglong sleeping and kill him directly?
...But it's true, with his physique E and strength F, there's really no need to worry.
"That's right."
Sister Snake gave a friendly reminder, "Canglong has a bad temper. After waking him up, you'd better squat down with your head in your hands to avoid being accidentally injured."
?
So dangerous?
He Xile: “Yeah.”
The adjective "bad temper" instantly made He Xile think of Wen Ji and His Majesty.
He estimated that a full four hours had passed since he was captured. His Majesty must have known he was missing, but he wondered if he had found the time to send someone to look for him...
He Xile had just walked to the hatch connecting to the room inside the spacecraft when the hatch opened automatically.
When he entered, he saw Canglong lying flat on a small bed. He used his hands as a pillow and his legs were spread wide apart. One leg was placed firmly on the bed, while the other leg was hanging down without taking off his shoes.
A book covered his face, obscuring his features.
He Xile walked closer and saw the title of the book - "One Hundred Tips to Get Rich".
good.
You are really worthy of it.
He Xile stood at a safe distance, neither too far nor too close. He raised his voice a little and said, "Mr. Cang, Sister Snake asked me to come over and wake you up. We've arrived."
Canglong didn't respond.
"...Mr. Cang, if you don't get up now, it will be too late. If the spaceship stays here for too long and is caught up by the imperial army, it will be a big trouble. Forget about the star coins, maybe even your next life."
He Xile kept muttering to himself but refused to come closer.
——Sister Snake said that Canglong is always in a bad mood when he wakes up.
He Xile's physical fitness is not good. If Canglong really wants to attack him, he will definitely not have time to squat down with his head in his hands. Of course, he will not be stupid enough to confront him head-on. Standing at a distance and forcing him is the best way.
After a while.
Perhaps feeling annoyed by He Xile's constant chatter, Canglong, who was lying on the bed, finally moved. The book fell from his face and landed directly on the ground, revealing a handsome face that looked angry and resentful.
——Completely different from the ordinary appearance he had before.
I can't tell which one is the real him.
Canglong frowned and said unhappily, "Which side are you on? Why are you so concerned about us?"
He Xile stood there obediently, not saying a word.
Damn it.
Who would be so sensible if they were not forced?
Canglong sat up from the bed.
He stared at He Xile with sinister eyes, which made He Xile feel scared. He was on guard and was thinking about whether to escape back to Sister Snake, when he heard Canglong in front of him sneer.
The other person stood up, and his handsome face almost instantly returned to its normal appearance as it did last time. He walked past He Xile very calmly and left.
Huh.
Not feeling grumpy when waking up?
He Xile hurriedly followed, and when he turned around, he found Sister Snake standing at the cabin door.
"It's really strange. This kid came to call you to get up, but you didn't lose your temper? I was ready to protect him in time when you beat the kid." Sister Snake chuckled teasingly.
Canglong didn't respond, but turned his head and looked at He Xile thoughtfully.
——He was indeed grumpy when he woke up, especially after using his mental power to "disguise" himself for a long time. His brain would hurt as if it was about to explode, which was simply unbearable.
This also caused Canglong to have a very bad temper on weekdays. Therefore, even though he was very capable and would definitely get twice the result with half the effort by cooperating with the team, he still did not have fixed teammates.
They would cooperate once and then separate immediately to avoid a fight between the two sides.
Today, inexplicably...
When he opened his eyes to the sound of He Xile's voice, he didn't feel depressed or bored, but rather very calm?
Is it a coincidence?
Or, this human...
"you……"
Just as Canglong opened his mouth, the spaceship suddenly began to shake violently!
The pilot's voice came from outside: "Canglong, Sister Snake! The spaceship has been attacked by an unknown attacker. The left wing is currently 20% damaged, and the escape track is slightly damaged. We have received a connection with the enemy ship!"
"Will you answer it?"
"Answer it." Canglong said with a cold face.
As he spoke, he came to He Xile and carried He Xile, who was staggering and unable to stand, out like a chick.
The connection is connected.
Several unfamiliar men and women immediately appeared on the big screen of the spacecraft.
The leading man sat in a luxurious chair on a huge spaceship.
The rest of the people were distributed around.
The man had a scarred face and exuded an imposing aura. His pale eyes were fixed solely on He Xile's position in the scene, clearly not taking anyone else seriously. He spoke calmly, "Canglong, my old friend, it's been a long time. Let go. The Empire has already received the news, and Wen Jiyu is on his way. You can't handle this cargo. Since we've known each other for so many years, I'll give you 10 million yuan as a reward. Hand over the human, and I won't make things difficult for you. How do you do it?"
He Xile thought to himself, it turns out I’m still a hot commodity.
