That day became Andrew's nightmare.

When the golden crystal bone strangled his neck and smashed his head on the white marble floor tiles in front of the palace, everyone including the guards failed to react.

Kaios was still sitting there, resting his cheek with one hand.

The crystal bone extended from his other wrist, carrying the newly succeeded emperor, and smashed it to the ground frequently.

not interesting.

The little monster found it boring.

Whether it’s Andrew’s screaming, cursing and begging for mercy, or the guards who show their guns but are afraid to go forward, or the funny scene where the waiter wants to run for help, but Andrew frantically stops him on the way——

Oh, and he didn't do anything special either.He just took off the emperor's pants, exposing his white buttocks in front of everyone.

As for the great new emperor who would rather die than let others see his ass, isn't that the emperor's own problem?

Kaios curled his lips again, Odin's son was so incompetent that he didn't even have the interest to play with it.

"Tell me the research purpose of the Gray Owl Lab, and I'll let you go."

"Tranquilizer!" Andrew immediately howled tearfully, "Father wants to use you to develop a medicine to suppress crystal particles, this, this is a great project that benefits all mankind, as long as you succeed, you will be famous in history—-what!!"

The red gold crystal bone dug Andrew's fat face into the floor tiles, and then slowly released it.

Kaios stood up, patted the dress, and left indifferently without looking back.

The group of people behind didn't know what to do, so they had to rescue the fainted new emperor first, and there was a sudden chaos.

That night, Emperor Andrew, who was furious, smashed all the precious porcelain vases and jade in his bedroom, and executed all the attendants and guards present who had seen his ugly appearance-the cruelty of this Odin II was comparable to that of his father.More than anything.

And Keos returned to his room.His Highness doesn't like strangers, so his bedroom is empty and deserted.

The boy sat on the luxuriously decorated big bed, thinking about the future.

Although he knocked the bare-bottomed emperor unconscious during the day, His Royal Highness was actually very clear-headed.

He knew the power and temptation of imperial power.The outbreak of the conflict was doomed from the death of Odin - Odin II would not tolerate such a threat from him to continue to be presumptuous, and it was impossible for him to surrender.

From now on, he can't eat at will, it may be mixed with drugs; he can't sleep at any time, there may be a hidden killer; he can't do anything, touch anything, anything may become a trap.

One wrong step and he'll be locked up in the lab.With Andrew's temperament, maybe he will be made into a stupid human pig, and become a human experimental subject for life.

This is the power of imperial power.

When the starlight shone over the bed, Kaios recalled an afternoon more than two months ago, when he and Odin were sitting together in the rose garden in the backyard of the palace.

Under the gentle winter sun, the decaying old emperor swayed a glass of blood-like red wine, looked at the distant sky, and seemed to ask him casually: "Boy, do you want to be the emperor of this empire?"

He shook his head, and Odin grinned and said, "I knew it."

The next day, the Great Emperor was passed on to Crown Prince Andrew Odin.

Thinking about it now, Kaios felt for no reason that if he had nodded at that moment, the old emperor might really be willing to give him his empire.

It's a good idea.The young prince sneered and said in his heart: After shutting himself up in the laboratory since he was a child, he still wants to be the emperor for his ineffective eldest son, and work hard all his life to maintain this empire?

He wants to plan the grandest revenge.

Not only to Odin, to Andrew, to the gray owl laboratory... but also to all the ignorant humans who think they can control him.

He likes to do unexpected things, likes to break the shackles that try to restrain him, and likes to see the faces of those guys with high self-esteem change drastically, and they kneel down and beg in front of him.

He's a bit of a bad little monster.

Kaios stood up with his clothes on. He didn't bring a weapon, didn't call his followers, and walked alone to the private starship library of the palace.

The princes and princesses will have their own advanced folding mechas, as well as small starships dedicated to the royal family.

He drove out his own starship.

At the beginning of the 51st year of the old imperial calendar, Jiang Jianming's body was too weak to go out in the cold winter weather.

Even if Lin Song piled all the clothes, quilts and blankets on him, he still couldn't help shivering.

Various symptoms came up like a demon, and he began to cough up blood, vomit, and have difficulty breathing.

The pain went from intermittent to constant, the usual painkillers didn't help at all, and better ones...were out of reach in the wild.

Ordinary patients with chronic crystal disorder have already begun to think about the funeral at this stage, or earlier.

Jiang Jianming refused to die.To this extent, he is still trying to maintain his "normal" life with Lin Song.

Lin Song has to go out to make a living during the day, and when she comes back at night, she often finds dinner already cooked and simmering on the stove.

If it was a little more frightening, maybe the person who was cooking could be seen lying on the ground, unconscious for an unknown amount of time, and there was a pool of vomited blood around him.

When the condition was better, Jiang Jianming hid in the cubicle, holding the blade with trembling hands, and cut his own flesh and bones.

That thin body was covered with new wounds and old scars, and there were ugly sutures everywhere.

Lin Song was tortured almost to the point of insanity.

Jiang Jianming coaxed her helplessly, reaching out to rub her hair.

The little girl slipped away and backed away, stomping her feet and shouting at Jiang Jianming: "Don't touch my old lady, my old lady hates you to death!"

Jiang Jianming: "It's okay, just touch it, it won't hurt if you don't use force."

"Who cares if you hurt or not!"

Lin Song hopped harder, and roared more fiercely: "You——can't you die quickly for my old lady? Other patients with chronic crystal disorder will die early and be relieved, why is it different for you! Why do you thinkI am different!"

Jiang Jianming actually didn't feel that he was different.

He knows best how ordinary and powerless he is.

Just feel sorry, and unwilling.

Change is destined not to happen overnight, he thought.

Especially in places like the wild.It's like trying to ignite a kindling in the cold winter wind and snow, even if you persist for ten years, twenty years, or a lifetime... you may not necessarily see results.

Now he was going to die, and Lin Song was too immature.Whether it is the silly elder sister or the boy in front of the bonfire, it only takes a year or so to be forgotten, and all the efforts and expectations of his mother and him will be in vain.

Deep winter season.

One day, Lin Song rushed in covered in snow.

"Dawn... Dawn!"

Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and her clothes were dirty and stained. It was obvious that she had come back from a fight.

But there was a rare smile on that face, although there was a haze of complicated emotions in the bottom of the bent right eye.

She patted the snow on her body, took something out of the bag like offering a treasure, and carefully held it in front of Jiang Jianming.

"I picked this up."

Lin Song asked nervously, exhaling the white mist, "Look, is this what you said, 'the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil'?"

It was a round, bright red fruit.

There is no rot and mold, no one has eaten it, and even the peel has no damage.

In the eyes of the poor in the wild area, the legendary "work of art" is probably like this.

Jiang Jianming laughed: "...it's an apple."

Lin Song also smiled slightly. She drooped her eyelashes, and suddenly took two steps forward, and lowered her head into Jiang Jianming's chest.

She stuffed the "Separation of Good and Evil Fruit" into Jiang Jianming's hand, and whispered in a nasal voice: "This is the best thing in this month's spaceship garbage. Many people were robbing it, but I said I would give it to you."It was brought to you, and several new humans stopped without saying a word, so I can bring it back."

There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Jianming's eyes, "Really?"

Lin Song nodded vigorously: "Look, now your wish has come true. You have taught the bad guys how to repay you, at least a few."

"so……"

She whispered, "Eat the fruit and die, okay?"

Jiang Jianming was silent.

He looked at Lin Song standing in front of him, and suddenly realized that time passed so fast.

The girl he picked up was already sixteen years old. The dirty little trash had grown into a slim young girl.

...Jiang Jianming also knows that after chronic crystal disorder develops to an advanced stage, not all patients may turn to acute death.

Some people lost their minds and became lunatics and fell to their deaths. Some people were paralyzed and couldn't take care of themselves and then starved to death. Some people were suffocated to death due to heart and lung failure.

He doesn't want to seek death now, but is he really going to go to that point, let Lin Song watch him decay into a handful of bones?

Like he watched his mother die?

"Ginger, please..."

Lin Song burst into tears, hot tears fell on his chest, "You die, okay?"

Jiang Jianming took the apple.

He whispered: "I'll think about it."

Later, Lin Song recalled this moment, a person like Jiang Jianming who was extremely soft on the outside and just on the inside, stubborn and even a little ruthless in the principles he personally recognized, was able to say "think about it" for her...

Simply the pinnacle of life.

...

That night, the snow stopped.

Jiang Jianming felt that his body was also in a rare good condition, so he said that he should go out alone to calm down and think carefully.

He took the apple, put on his cloak, and took out the rusty gun.There was also the bullet left for him inside.

He carefully entrusted Lin Song to leave some of the chips, optical brain, books and notes left by his mother to the girl.

He stepped on the snow slowly and walked far away.

Walked for a long time, about a few hours.

Finally, Jiang Jianming climbed the highest hillside in this area.

The Milky Way is extra bright tonight.

The black-haired boy lowered his eyebrows and stroked the apple.After a while, he looked up at the vast starry sky again, with a melancholy expression, and breathed out softly.

Not reconciled.

How can you be content?

But if you give him a little hope...

As long as there is such a road, a direction, and a little bit of hope, he is willing to continue struggling as hard as he can.

Pale hands held the gun at his waist, repeating the movements of loosening and tightening.

Suddenly, there was a faint rumbling noise from afar.

Jiang Jianming raised his head subconsciously, the starry sky was reflected in his eyes, and a smear of red was streaking across the sky.

comet?

No, that's...

It was still dark when a large number of imperial warships took off at the military starship port in Star City of Eternal Paradise.

The one these soldiers wanted to hunt down was His Royal Highness Caios, the youngest son of the deceased emperor.

The small starship has already sailed out of the second galaxy, and is speeding towards the direction of the old blue mother star.

In the cockpit, the young prince leaned back on the seat, tilted his head slightly, and let the platinum curly hair flow on his shoulders.

"Little bastard!"

Through the communication, Andrew laughed wildly at him, "You know you're afraid too, it's late, it's late!"

"I am Odin II, the entire empire is under my control, you run, I will see where you can go!!"

Behind the new emperor, kneeling in a row were the experimenters of the Gray Owl Laboratory.

They all realized that the situation was getting out of control, and they knocked their heads one by one, begging the emperor not to provoke this little monster again.

"Really?" The beautiful little prince narrowed his eyes, "Then you just come and catch me, Odin II."

Next, it will be the turn of the grandest revenge, he thought to himself.

Kaios also knows that even if he kills Andrew, Odin still has other princes and princesses, even if he can slaughter all the royal families, there are tens of millions of soldiers and countless starships of the empire waiting for him.

Died by the imperial power, died by the imperial soldiers, or locked up in the laboratory... It cannot be said to be a victory.

But here is an easier and more convenient way.

The frequency of the crystal chaos tide is accelerating. If human beings cannot develop a drug to suppress the crystal chaos, they will gradually go extinct in despair.

Well, as long as you die yourself.

In the next second, the small starship began to ignite spontaneously!

Red lights flashed in the cockpit, and the alarm buzzed harshly.

Kaios leaned back on the driver's seat and burst into a burst of joyful laughter.

He looked at the person in charge of the Gray Owl Laboratory who suddenly turned pale, and rushed towards him like a madman, and Andrew, who was still sluggish and didn't understand the situation, and found it really interesting.

The little monster has no concept of life and death. It doesn't feel how happy it is to live, and it doesn't feel how terrible death is.

It didn't take much determination on his part to die for this amusing and rebellious vengeance.

I am tired of seeing the world of the living.He is willing to wade through the galaxy called death and return to the embrace of eternal nothingness.

With a bit of malice, he whispered, "Goodbye."

With raging flames, the small starship accelerated its descent and crashed into the most desolate area of the old blue mother star.

Just a second before Kaios closed his eyes, the scouting screen in front of the screen flickered.

A red dot indicating a living person appeared on the topographic map.

No matter how the novelists of later generations use gorgeous rhetoric to tell the fateful fate at this moment, how to use lingering words to describe the ten thousand years between the founding emperor and the handsome.

When Kaios was stunned and said, "How could there be someone here?"——

The small starship has passed through the atmosphere of the old blue mother star and is still falling at an accelerated rate.

Therefore, when the wheel of fate is approaching the turning point, there is actually not much time for people to think carefully.

And many years later, when the aftermath of the war falls to the ground and becomes fertile ground for new sprouts on the ruins, the White Emerald Palace of the New Empire will usher in a fresh night rain.

The golden rose swayed in the cool wind, and the rain entangled the trembling flowers.

"Are you distracted?"

Deep in the palace, the emperor lowered his voice slightly annoyed, pinched the thin spine with his fingertips, and bullied him fiercely.

Immediately there was a trembling choked sound, and pale fingers were tightly pulling on the bed sheet, trembling non-stop.

The other palm came up and rubbed it twice as soothing.

"Say, what were you thinking just now?"

Jiang Jianming's usually quiet eyes looked up absentmindedly, they had already been wet into a mess, like ink that had been grinded away repeatedly, "...don't...make trouble, I'm thinking...uh, miss you...ah!"

"Do not believe."

The panting sound was drowned in the night with the drizzle.

After the end, the night rain also stopped, and everything was quiet.The bedside lamp was still in the usual warm yellow tone, the emperor leaned against the bedside, holding his lover in his arms together with the quilt, still brooding over that little episode.

"...not so much distracted."

Jiang Jianming frowned half-deadly, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely: "It's better to talk about the revolving door, Your Majesty. I feel like I'm going to die halfway. You should reflect on yourself."

Lai An lowered his head and kissed him, then snorted softly, his eyes half-cast: "So, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Jianming: "I was thinking, why did His Majesty turn away when he saw me the night we first met?"

...

At that moment, inside the burning and crashing starship.

What did the little monster see?

The starry sky, the top of the mountain, the dry grass covered with frost, the fire falling down.

A dark-haired young man in a tattered cloak.

The fierce flames tore out a long and slender shadow.

Eyes hiding waves, pale and thin hands.

The red forbidden fruit in the palm.

It's like a picture scroll that only exists in mythology.

"I saw you..."

"I saw you standing alone under the starry sky, looking up."

Lai An grabbed Jiang Jianming's hand and pressed it to his heart, with a low voice and a smile, "I don't know why, there was a vibration here."

There are only a few seconds left to choose between life and death. In such a short time, it is too late to fall in love at first sight.

But maybe, barely enough time to move.

In this world that bores him, such a scene can still exist.

If the starship fell on the original trajectory, this strange black-haired young man would also be swallowed by the explosion.

Probably out of obsession, the little monster let go of the accelerator handle that had been tightly fastened, and turned the course.In the next second, the heat wave engulfed him.

There was a loud bang.

The starship crashed halfway up the hillside, with thick smoke and flames rising into the sky.
