Gu Hanhan and David looked at each other, and they were both very surprised: This is Mars's shop?

Gu Hanhan patted his head and remembered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 No wonder she looked at the golden eagle in the hall so familiarly! The Mars intelligence station in the red light district under the guise of a cowherd shop also had such an eagle.

David's little fugitive glanced at the half-flowered man with disdain, and snorted coldly at the corner of his mouth: "Mars is just like that-"

"Are you trying to use agitation on me, kid?"

The old man was amused at once, and even his solemn expression was stretched a lot. He walked back to his desk and sat down, gesturing for the boy to sit down as well.

"Young man," he said, "or you don't know it yet, the number of nations in the whole universe that are capable of sheltering you by that insignia on your body is no more than the number of your fingers and toes of your hands combined. And in these less than twenty countries, frankly, there is not even one who would be willing to give you asylum. ”

The old man still clasped his hands against his chin, he looked at the boy and said, "It's not a question of whether you dare or not, but whether it's worth it." ”

"Accepting you will bring trouble to our country, whether great or small, sooner or later, or even if it does not erupt at all, if possible, far more than the greatest value you can bring—"

The boy's back stiffened visibly, and he lowered his head in embarrassment. "This ......," he stood up after a few seconds of silence, "I'll go." ”

The old man was amused by the boy again, and the expression in his eyes stretched a little more.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, young man," he said, "have you figured out where you are going to go when you leave here? There are far more black intermediaries on the Golden Gate than you think, and you are far from being their match now. I believe that as soon as you walk out of the door of this hotel, they will be abducted and trafficked to an unknown place. And even if you can get rid of them and leave the Golden Gate Star, your ** is branded, your soul has a chip, although the universe is big, where can you go?"

The boy was silent.

The old man's voice was even kinder. He said: "Now that you have an understanding of the power of the family you have fled, you have come to a clear understanding of how powerful the master you have abandoned really is. Then you should understand that if you continue to stay with your master, you will have great prospects, very ambitious, and one day you will be able to climb to heights that you can never imagine now, far higher than you have come here today—"

"It's not without an opportunity for remediation. Although you escaped, you are not yet twelve years old, and your superpowers are already level two, you are a good seedling, and they will not be willing to give you away for nothing. You may be severely punished for defecting, but believe that their purpose is only to educate you and not to destroy you, and as long as you recognize your mistakes and crimes, and obediently obey in the future, they will continue to cultivate you. ”

"Think about it, young man, pain and punishment are only temporary, nothing is impossible, you have a long life ahead of you. The old man looked at the boy kindly, "If you regret it and are willing to go back, I can help you return safely to your master's side—"

"No!" the boy interrupted the old man, and said viciously, "I will not go back!"

"Oh, why is that? They won't kill you, I promise. ”

The boy's eyes shot a stubborn light: "I don't want to be a slave, no one's slave wants to be a slave, I'd rather die than do it!"

"Understood," the old man nodded, and said lightly, "Since you can not even care about your life for the sake of freedom, then as a great power of the galaxy, Mars has the responsibility to help and protect you." ”

Or maybe it was because the sentence was so casual that the boy was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he had heard.

"What did you say?" the boy was surprised, "I can stay?"

"Yes, you can stay," the old man looked at the boy with a smile, "but there are conditions. ”

"What conditions?" the boy asked anxiously. Then he straightened his face, tried to make a calm and calm old appearance, and prepared to negotiate with the old man.

This undoubtedly made the old man laugh again, and the solemnity in his expression completely dissipated.

"To be honest, we have violated the Holy Pact and the Confederate Pact by taking you in, but there is no way, who has made the war tight, and the battle damage rate has remained high?

"If you agree, the Empire can provide you with asylum, free from the control of biochips and cover up your genetic imprints, with limited technology available, and will also be responsible for providing you with a full set of identification and dossiers that are consistent with your status as a free man, all of which are genuine and valid, of course. Mars will guarantee you all the freedom and fairness you deserve as a citizen of a nation in the name of the Empire. In return, you'll need to join the Mars Empire as a Mars and leave the central star to join the army on the frontier front. And, even if you leave the army in the future, you must remain in the Frontier Field, not enter the main galaxy of the galaxy until the owner of the emblem that sheltered you is gone. ”

"That's all?" said the boy, without even thinking about it, "I agree." ”

"Don't rush your decision, kid, you can take a moment to think about it. "I can tell you that if you accept the conditions and agree to sign the contract, you will henceforth be assigned to the Pegasus front." ”

"That's the place where you fight with alien bugs, the battle damage is very amazing - not only the battle losses of ordinary soldiers are high, but the battle losses of superpowered warriors are also high, I took a look, the latest information has been transmitted, the battle loss rate of second-level superpowers there is 1:7 You are still very young, child, you don't have to take this risk. ”

However, the boy's attitude was unusually firm. "I don't have to think about it," he said, "and I accept it." ”

"Where to sign. "I'm anxious to get rid of the chip and the brand." ”

"Then choose a name. The old man took out a clip from the drawer again, and when he opened it, it was full of ready-made identity rings, and there were probably no less than hundreds of them arranged one by one. The old man pressed the start button, and the information of the preset identity of each ring was projected into the void separately.

"Please, please pick and choose, these are in your age range and superpower level, there should be a name you like. "Of course, if you remember your original name, or prefer to make your own, that's fine, just wait." It takes time to approve the identity and make the ring, which is a little more troublesome, and it is not as worry-free as a ready-made one. ”

"My name is Shen Han. The boy returned the ring clip, picked up the pen, and signed his name where the old man had pointed out.

"No problem, after forty-eight hours, you'll have your ring. The old man took the contract back into the drawer along with the ring clip, stood up and held out his hand to the boy, "Welcome to Mars, then, Mr. Shen-Han." ”

The boy stood across from the desk with his barely stretched body, and shook hands with the old man a little jerkyly.

The old man glanced at the time and said, "We will make an appointment with the technical department once a week to process chips and imprints, and there will be an appointment tomorrow." Leaving at four in the morning, there are still a few hours left, you can go and take a break, take a shower, eat something, and preferably get some sleep. The next thing is not easy, it is difficult to survive without physical strength - don't worry about the bills, the empire will bear the cost of processing chips and imprints, and the rest of the internal consumption in the hotel is discounted at this stage, and you can also borrow cash directly from the room attendant without interest. All will be deducted directly from your first month's paycheck, no questions asked. ”

The old man rang the bell and called someone, so a waiter came in, took the boy to the hotel room upstairs, and very thoughtfully helped him call room service and food delivery.

The little mecha master, Gu Hanhan, now finally knew that his real name was Shen Han, and according to the old man's advice, he took a bath and ate, went to bed and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, and then flicked the switch, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The sound of even breathing soon sounded, Gu Hanhan stared at it for a long time, hungry, and reluctant to leave, so he had to chat with David to relieve his hunger.

"David, what is the Sacred Pact and the Pact of the Alliance?"

"The Sacred Pact refers to the common oath of all the ultimate powers under the stars that they will not invade each other's vassals. In the event of a war or conflict between two sects, or under any other circumstance, if there is a vassal of another sect among the captives, surrenders or voluntary defectors, they must first be exchanged or redeemed, and must not be disposed of separately. ”

"And what about the Confederate Pact?"

"Comrades belonging to the same camp who use all means to induce or coerce others to rebel are considered to break the alliance. In the event of a defecting vassal or slave, all other families in the alliance are obliged to assist in the arrest and are not allowed to shelter, shield or assist the defector under any circumstances. ”

Gu Hanhan pondered for a moment and said, "That's not right." Haven't you broken through yet? You haven't joined the WTO yet, and you can't even say that you are in the camp -- that old man is so cunning!"

David smiled and said, "That's right, he took advantage of loopholes, sold favors in vain, and deceived other children." ”

Gu Hanhan flattened his mouth, knowing that it was definitely not the case - if there is no breakthrough now, sooner or later it will break through, and the more there is no camp, the more worthy it is to fight for!

"Then do they really have the technology to remove chips and branding?" Gu Hanhan wondered, "Could it be that they are also asking Elder Bruch for help?" and then was surprised: "It can't be-"

David intercepted: "Lord Maximilian will not come here to do this no matter how idle he is. He said, "You'll find out in a moment." ”
