Chapter 153: Do You Want to Suicide for Love?
Qianzhi smelled the fragrance of flowers.
It's a bit similar to the scent of camellia, but more special than it, just like the fragrance of "Ningyue" that she smelled in the laboratory.
As she thought subconsciously, her mind gradually became clear.
The last thing she remembered was when she reached the vine to the child's forehead and discovered that he was an artificial human, and one made up of some non-human tissue.
By the time she realized the danger, it was too late; the child exploded in front of her.
But something like a protective film seemed to pop out from his body, covering her completely.
This location was very close to the border between the Empire and the Federation, and the explosion almost completely shattered anything with a diameter of several meters.
Before she could react, she felt something hit her neck from behind, causing her to pass out instantly.
"She's awake, Inspector." Seeing the girl's eyeballs rolling rapidly under her thin eyelids, the woman in white turned around and reported to the person behind her.
Qianzhi slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that came into her sight was a window.
The sky through the window was different from that in the empire, dark and dirty, with no sunlight.
"I'm sorry to invite you to the Federation in this way, Miss Chizhi." A deep male voice came from beside her.
It was a slightly older face, with a few vertical and horizontal lines on the lower eyelids. The light gray eyes brushed away the slightest bit of coldness and were looking at her gently.
"I am Hyman Rhodes."
"Commander! Leave us alone! Go!"
In the enclosed space, lightsabers and photoelectric bullets were intertwined, and the figures protecting Leon fell one by one, their bloody finger prints on the hem of Leon's clothes.
It was not to let him take them away while they were dying, but to push him, pull him, and make him leave here.
Leon stared at the faces of those who died because of him, his expression unchanged.
He clenched his fingers, turned around, and quickly hid himself in the darkness.
He had witnessed human death in the same way before.
However, it is a completely different state of mind.
Once humans hated him, and he also hated humans.
The evil side of interstellar consciousness became his essence and strength, making him hate it instinctively.
But when the malice that was his origin flowed out of his body, the overwhelming hostility and desire to kill slowly dissipated.
He had to admit that becoming a human made him realize how complicated humans were.
The interweaving of love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, the fear of betraying instinct, and the resoluteness to sacrifice one's life for one's beliefs.
This is the human being that Qianzhi protects.
“——Boss.”
Lyon led the remaining guards out of the secret room and boarded the starship before calling Rand back.
The orange-haired man looked serious and anxious for the first time.
"I just received news from the Empire, and also got confirmation from Rhodes's people that Qianzhi has fallen into Rhodes' hands."
The man's long fingers slowly clenched as Rand spoke, squeezing until the joints turned bluish-white.
"Hmm." Leon responded gloomily from the depths of his throat, "Stay where you are, Rand."
Rand turned off his computer in a daze, scratched the back of his head vigorously, and tried hard to shake the commander's expression from his mind.
It's so scary.
It was the first time that he saw such an extremely sinister and crazy expression on Leon's face, which was as handsome as a god and as indifferent as a god.
But Rand chewed the bubble gum in his mouth and blew it until it expanded.
The pale pink bubble ball contrasts with the nearby Inspector General's residence.
Since it's in the original place, isn't that perfect?
Qianzhi stayed at Rhodes' mansion for a few days.
Except for the first day, she never saw him again.
"Is this how the Federal Inspector General recruits people?" On the fourth day, Qianzhi finally met Rhodes.
"I apologize again for my reckless behavior, Miss Qianzhi." Rhodes stood there seemingly respectfully, but in fact he had the composure of a superior.
"But if I don't, the Empire won't bring you to the Federation."
"The people of the Federation are in panic, and we urgently need guides like you to support the political situation."
"You got it wrong from the beginning, Inspector General Rhodes. I'm from the Empire and will not interfere in the affairs of the Federation." Qianzhi stared at him and saw him suddenly smile.
"Don't you remember? You are the savior who cares for all mankind, the messenger of God who loves all mankind. The Federation needs you too."
Qianzhi walked towards the terrace, staring at a shadow spreading from the garden, her brows slightly frowned, and then bent slightly imperceptibly.
"As God's messenger, I have fulfilled my mission. But the Federation does not need God. It only needs a selfless ruler who considers the citizens."
"If you're going to use a human to kidnap me, you might as well kidnap yourself, Chief Inspector Rhodes."
The girl was sitting on the terrace. She was not disturbed by his words at all, but looked at him with a chuckle.
Rhodes opened his eyes slightly, opened and closed his lips.
For the first time, he felt frustration and the feeling of brainwashing failure on a little girl.
But his eyes darkened, he had other ways to make her obedient.
A flurry of footsteps sounded from outside their door.
Several guards rushed in and reported loudly.
"Inspector General! We found several bomb explosion points in the mansion below! There are also suspicious figures--"
There was a slight sound from the terrace.
Rhodes turned around immediately as if he sensed something, and found that the girl who was originally sitting on the terrace had disappeared.
"Chase." His voice was steady, but the bulging veins on his forehead betrayed his emotions. "She can't get far."
"Woo wow~" Rand, holding Qianzhi in his arms, stopped in front of the suddenly turbulent water.
Beyond the turbulent waters lies a paralyzing net that can temporarily dispel one's mental power.
"No wonder Rhodes didn't set up so many guards in the mansion. It turns out they were waiting for me here." Rand sighed and hugged Qianzhi tighter with his strong arms.
Qianzhi was held tightly in the man's arms, as if she was the destination that this proud tiger would always look up to.
She looked at the guards chasing after her from a distance and patted Rand's strong arm.
"Rand, put me down and leave here." At least she wouldn't be killed by Rhodes, but Rand would.
The man chuckled softly, and his plump chest made her body tremble with his laughter.
"Xiao Qianzhi, now that it has come to this, how about we commit suicide together?"
He ruffled her hair playfully, quietly gripping the gun beside his thigh.
"Do you remember what you promised me?" The girl held his arm. "You promised me that you would do anything."
"Now, you can fulfill your promise, put me down and leave here. Their target is you, not you."
The man's arms seemed to relax.
But the next moment, his big hands clasped the back of her neck and he jumped up.
"Xiao Qianzhi, let's save this order for next time." His breathing was accompanied by a teasing smile.
Before falling to the water, Qianzhi felt a warm breath touching her forehead.
But it was fleeting, just like the man's deep eyes and the emotional scent that suddenly spread from his body.
Bitter, affectionate, and persistent.
