The old-fashioned wall clock hanging in the room "da da" went half a circle, and the airtight space could hear the sound of a needle falling.

When Gu Zhao spoke, he was still calm as usual.

"Get up first and talk later, you don't need to blame yourself like this." He still asked.

"Yu Luo," he paused when he pronounced the name, as if he wasn't used to it, "Yu Luo was taken away by the empire, it was an accident that you couldn't predict. You should be ashamed because you handled things too slowly.The efficiency is too low. If you hadn’t underestimated the prince of the empire, you would have mobilized more resources to participate in this operation. I have not been by your side to teach you these years, you are still too proud.”

Gu Yiyuan stood beside Gu Zhao's desk and obediently listened to the training. He knew that Gu Zhao was not the kind of person who likes to belittle the juniors to elevate himself. Gu Zhao made such an evaluation because he was only worthy of these evaluations.

For example, when collecting Yu Luo's genetic information, his subordinates were blocked by the Omega Information Association, especially the elder Chi Yinong.Sneak in secretly and get the stuff first.

"Second uncle, I suspect that Yu Luo's disappearance has something to do with Chi Yinong. Everyone knows that his sister is the grandmother of the imperial prince. I thought he had done so much for the Federation over the past hundred years.If you contribute more, you must be loyal to the Federation in your heart. Who knows that he actually helped the prince kidnap the people of the Federation, and it was Gu Wan who was kidnapped, should you send someone to deal with this old guy?"

"Ask me? I'm afraid you have already sent someone to do it." Gu Zhao squinted at him.

Gu Yiyuan paused: "I just want to report to Second Uncle."

He has indeed sent someone to look for Chi Yinong's displeasure, but this old tortoise is so smart that he hides in his well-secured home and cannot come out. If he comes out, he will go to public places such as speeches and seminars.

Gu Zhao sighed: "When I was thinking about getting pregnant, Mr. Chi was still by her side to take care of her. It can be said that the person who hoped for Ah Wan's safe birth the most, besides me and Xiangxiang, was him. I don't know if he knows,The person he plans to plan now is the child he once poured all his heart and soul into taking care of."

Gu Yiyuan was only seven years old at that time, and he remembered that his aunt was always accompanied by a kind grandfather, and his aunt asked him to call him Grandpa Chi.Grandpa Chi always reminded my aunt to pay attention to this and that. The future of the Federation lies in the baby in her womb.

At that time, Gu Yiyuan was very disdainful, although he was also looking forward to the birth of his cousin or cousin, she must be super cute, so that he would have a little follower in the future.But the future of the federation depends on a little baby?He didn't believe it.

Later, my aunt heard the news that my second uncle was in danger, and went to the battlefield to follow my second uncle.Grandpa Chi tried his best to stop it but failed, and left sadly and angrily.

Later, Gu Yiyuan basically never saw him in real life.

"Then shall we just let Chi Yinong go like this?" Gu Yiyuan was not reconciled, "If this old man hadn't stepped in, maybe Gu Wan would have reunited with Second Uncle and your family by now."

Gu Zhao: "It's impossible to let him go. He has his nephews to take care of, so I don't feel sorry for my children? However, Chi Yinong has lived to this age and has already looked down on his own life and death. Even if you reallyHe wouldn’t care if he was caught and tortured. Besides, Chi Yinong has made great contributions to the cause of medicine after all, if it wasn’t for this matter, I have always respected him.”

"Second Uncle means to hit his pain point?" Gu Yiyuan understood a little bit.

"The avatar of the prince you caught earlier, isn't he still hanging on his breath? Let the grandpa and grandson meet each other." Gu Zhao ordered coldly.

Gu Yiyuan's eyes were firm, "I know what to do."

"Also, rescuing Yu Luo is the matter of Gu Wan, which should be put on the agenda immediately."

"Yes, Marshal."

Gu Zhao walked to the window and took a breath.After thinking about it, he took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it.

In the past, Gu Zhao didn't smoke or drink, but those ten years in the desolate star in the interstellar crack still changed him.During those boring and difficult days, Gu Zhao took care of the sleeping Yu Shixiang while recuperating from his injuries.Without his wife's spiritual grooming, his mental sea, which has been hit hard, is on the verge of collapse every day. Only tobacco can temporarily paralyze his nerves and give him a temporary respite.

Gu Yiyuan quietly looked at his uncle's gloomy figure.

He was actually brought up by his second uncle and aunt when he was a child, and his second uncle didn't talk much when he was a child, but he always had a sense of determination, definitely not like what he is now, with a heavy and miserable aura like mountains and seas.

Occasionally, Gu Yiyuan would feel that this aura is very familiar. It is what he sometimes sees in documentaries, such as wounded beasts and hunters who have passed away.

However, no matter what Gu Zhao has become, Gu Yiyuan still respects him very much.In his heart, Gu Zhao is more like his father than the inconspicuous and disgusting biological father Gu Han.

Second uncle, don't worry, I will bring Gu Wan safely to you and your aunt.

Gu Yiyuan swore secretly in his heart.

"Don't torture him anymore, give him a good time. I have already told you that the child is in the maze, but I don't know where the maze is. It's not that you don't know the rumors about Helia, even the EmpireI don't know where he is." Chi Yinong's voice in the video communication was sad.

The old man turned his head to the side, not looking at the separated lumps of flesh in the video, and cloudy tears flowed from his eyes.

"Didn't Mr. Chi still say that the imitation person is not a human being? Why is he being merciful now?" Gu Yiyuan said with a smile.I don't really believe that Mr. Chi didn't contribute much in the research on humanoids."

"I, when I helped him, I never thought about this day." Chi Yinong's voice trembled, "That child is a monster by nature, I just thought, if he can have some clones, help him walk under the sun, will he become happier. But who knows..."

If Chi Yinong couldn't continue, Gu Yiyuan helped him finish.

"Who knows, those avatars are just tools he uses to seek power and gain. They have inherited part of his abilities. With them, your good nephew can be trusted for any kind of insidious and despicable things.people do it. And what better tool is there than to be completely true to your double?"

"With them, His Highness the Crown Prince will have a stronger ability to act. He even used his clone to kill all his brothers and sisters, poisoned his biological father, and became the uncrowned king of the empire...Admit it, you thought it was weakPoor grand-nephew, he's actually a murderous psychopath, and you've been helping the evildoers."

Chi Yinong retorted: "He is Yiqing's last bloodline. How could I let him go and let all the people in the empire bully him? He just wants to resist!"

Chi Yiqing is his youngest sister. During the honeymoon period when the empire and the federation resisted other interstellar races together, she was given to the prince of the empire as a princess by the federation as a gift.

Even if the interstellar communication is so developed, Chi Yiqing never got the right to come back before he died in a foreign land.

"Then how do you explain this incident? You helped him rob Marshal Gu Zhao's only child. Did Yu Luo bully him too? Being kidnapped by a monster like him, Yu Luo doesn't know what pain he will suffer!"

Gu Yiyuan's voice was resounding, like a ruthless judge, every word stabbed at Chi Yinong's body.Chi Yinong saved a lifetime of people and did good deeds all his life. For the happiness of his nephew and grandson, he hurt the baby he had meticulously protected eighteen years ago. He was so painful that the medical robot beside him quickly pouredA pile of pills.

Chi Yinong slowed down and said: "He promised me that he would not hurt Yu Luo. I trust him, the child Xilia, and he will not lie to me. But you are right, I did this wrongI'm too selfish, I only care about Helia and ignore others. I will try my best to make up for it."

"Yu Luo..." A strange voice broke into the conversation between the two of them. It was one of the lumps of unidentified meat. Nineteen's vocal organs could barely make a sound, but it sounded out of tune, like a ghostcall.

"Yu Luo..." Nineteen seemed to only be able to say these two words, repeating them all the time.

Chi Yinong didn't know the specific relationship between the code name 19 and Yu Luo, but one thing he knew was that 19 met Yu Luo first and refused the order to bring Yu Luo to Helia.Helia then asked her to help, and asked her to send Yu Luo to him to accompany him for a year.

Regarding code name 19, Chi Yinong has complicated feelings.

Intellectually, he knows that 19 is just a simulated human being, not a real person at all; emotionally, 19 is shaped by the ontology from genes to consciousness, and in a sense he can be regarded as his grandnephew, but he helps Helia snatch it away.19 friends I met first...

"Yu Luo..."

Maybe not just friends.

"19, don't hold on anymore, Yu Luo will be fine, you'd better go." Chi Yinong couldn't bear to say.

Perhaps because he heard "Yu Luo will be fine", Nineteen stopped calling.

Gu Yiyuan also felt a little emotional: "If you are still conscious, can you reveal the coordinates of the maze, after all, you are just an abandoned son of the original body. At this time, you still call his name, Yu Luota, it should be very important to you."

Everyone was waiting for his reply, but Shijiu seemed to be immersed in his own world. After a while, he called that repeated name again and again for the last time.

"Yu Luo..."

"It's good to meet you..."

The sound was broken and inaudible, and quickly disappeared into the air.

maze.

"It hurts!" Yu Luo suddenly covered his left ear and exclaimed.The black earrings that had not moved for a long time made his earlobe red and swollen from the heat.

Also at the same time, Yu Luo seemed to hear a strange electrical sound, a very short sizzling noise, obviously meaningless, but for some reason, Yu Luo felt that this strange, raving noise was someone talking to him.

Yu Luo waited patiently for a while, but there was no more sound coming from the earrings.

Unable to stand the high temperature, Yu Luo took off the earrings and put them quietly in the palm of his hand.

Obviously this rhombus-shaped black earring was still shining and beautiful as before, but Yu Luo always felt that it seemed to have lost its former luster.

A sense of loss hit his chest, nearly emptying him.

It seems that after the man gave him the earring, they only spoke once, and that time Nineteen said to him, "I'm fine, I'll call you."

He lied.

"Hey, why are you silent all of a sudden?"

The beautiful blond boy leaned over and looked curiously at the earrings on the palm of his hand.

Yu Luo ignored him.

Fei Randi was not convinced, "Isn't it just a broken earring? If you don't like this, I will give you a new one. Throw this away."

Fei Randi took away the earrings from Yu Luo's palm and threw them under the bed.

Yu Luo watched quietly without moving.

Fei Randi originally thought that he was going to be angry, but he didn't expect to get angry at himself, and turned around strangely.

Fei Randi suddenly panicked.

"Hey, why are you crying?"
