"No, thank you, I have enough vitamins, and I don't need to moisten my throat because I smoke too much." Guo Zhouyi grabbed the apple in his hand and handed it to Xi, who was already laughing next to him. Magnum.

"It's a pity, this apple is actually good." The hoarse voice created a terrifying pirate captain atmosphere, but the result was that the person who had sore throat because he smoked too much finally turned around, so Guo Zhouyi saw two beards like steel brushes growing from his cheeks, an angular face like a wooden plank, a pair of eyes that revealed a joke, and lips that looked like two steel bars were welded together and a body wrapped in a spacesuit.

"I believe that, but I think you should have more topics to discuss with me when I come, not just fruits." Guo Zhouyi sat on the chair next to the captain at the captain's signal.

"First of all, welcome to The-Ebon-Cross, the name doesn't matter here, you can just call me Lao Ba, as you know, we are facing the fleeing Girubado. Dilandar is in pursuit, and your combat power is a must. The pirate captain, who called himself Lao Ba, tapped on the small screen in his hand as he made a circle on the bridge with his hand, as if to introduce himself.

"Why do I feel like you didn't finish what you said, I apologize if you didn't, and I regret if you decided not to say it." Guo Zhouyi was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly stared at the captain Lao Ba.

"I can't see through you new humans, maybe that's why I need you," Ba rubbed his beard with his hands, "When I applied to the Zeon higher-ups for new human power, they asked the same question, but they didn't like the answers I gave them, maybe you'd come to the same conclusion?" ”

"I'm the driver, Lao Ba, until the last moment of the battle, the conclusion is no."

"It's really interesting that you didn't use life and death to use the last moment, then let's say," the corners of the old man's mouth trembled, "About 15 months ago, we traded on the main route from the Earth to the Jupiter Circle, and it was no different, the old job, taking money, robbing people, robbing people, taking money, we ourselves couldn't tell which came first. ”

Guo Zhouyi snorted lightly.

"Do you despise pirates, Mr. Bakina? Or do you think our work is too cruel? ”

"I think it's the latter."

"There's nothing to argue about, when something is thought to be not going away, people naturally don't care about it, just like the oil of the old days, until we realized that oil was in crisis, what was our attitude towards it, and now we are what we have towards human life, we, you and me." Lao Ba pointed at himself and then at Guo Zhouyi.

"Why don't you continue." Guo Zhouyi's face was calm as if he had no emotion.

"Pirates have a good habit of cleaning the battlefield more carefully than anyone else when they have time, so after that battle, we found the wreckage of a small shuttle that moved forward by inertia, and there was something inside."

"What?" Guo Zhouyi noticed that Lao Ba stopped, so he asked.

"Do you speak French, Mr. Barkina?"

"My lover taught me a little bit."

"Do you know what it means—maladie-de-l'emmuré-vivant?"

"Uh, I'll see, I know the word, wall, alive?" Guo Zhouyi worked hard to dig out the knowledge in his head, and finally burst out two words.

"That's right, wall, alive," the disease of being locked up in the wall but alive", beginners may translate it like this, some translations call it locked-in syndrome, don't think that this is what the general population says about people with serious self-isolation tendencies or some kind of psychological disorder, this is a real disease, locked-in syndrome (locked-in-syndrome) (locked-in-syndrome) --- a person's mind, spirit or soul is locked in their own body, they can think, but the body is paralyzed, I can't tell you more because I'm not that doctor. ”

"You found such a patient in the shuttle?"

"Yes, she has a mind, but she can't move, and according to the good doctor who examined her, it was artificial, through technical reductions in the oxygen carrying in the blood and the use of drugs and genetic measures...

"Why, why would anyone do this, and why in a scrapped shuttle, you will find such a person, shouldn't the evidence be destroyed?" Guo Zhouyi felt a hint of coldness coming from his spine, but there was a certain tendency in his heart for him to ask questions.

"Perhaps it was the conscience of the scholar who created her that discovered it, but as for why someone did this, why that woman was found, because, as you may have sensed, we also had a new human on board, and our companions, at that time, felt a strong new human induction wave."

"What did you say?!"

"Forcibly turn off the body, force it to be swallowed by the machine, there is no way to live except to combine with the machine to become a so-called new human, maybe that's it, the hardener that was forcibly spawned is something that makes people like me tremble in my bones more than any previous enhancement technology, and we are now heading towards a lair full of that kind of monster...

"You say。。。。。。 Lair......? Guo Zhouyi bowed his head deeply.

"We tracked, tracked to the side of that lair, and for 7 days, we stopped in the void with the camouflage system on, and waited until the small fleet that we deliberately led to encircle and suppress the pirates appeared next to that base, attacked that base, and then was destroyed, and then watched the base start to move and disappear into the void...

"You, you want me to defeat the guardians?"

"The worst-case scenario, probably, but the reason why we are stealthily pursuing the enemy in front of us is because we believe that there is an easier way, and that is to obtain the key."

"The key...

"Ah, after experiments...

"Did you experiment on her?!"

She agreed, rolling her eyes with all she had left--- and agreed, so we know there's a key, and I'll bet you, Girubado. Dilandal is definitely a key, and if you catch him, you will be the worst to press them to break into that base. ”

"I thought ... You don't take life so seriously ... ”

"To our own, yes, it's our own thing, and we're not afraid of it disappearing, to others, it's different."

"When it's time for battle, call me and take me to my room... Guo Zhouyi got up silently and walked into the elevator on the bridge.

"Disappointed, Xi?" Watching Guo Zhouyi disappear behind the door, Lao Ba asked his communicator.

Xi. Magnum shook his head.

Why didn't you stop me from coming, or even encourage me to come, knowing that I was hurt, why, why did you do this, na, why? --- Guo Zhouyi was silent and dedicated this question to the shadow in his heart.
