Walk alone in the abyss

Revell didn't know why Lord White Phantom kicked him when he opened the door, and sent him directly to the door of the villa next door.

But in the next few days, he will not be able to rely on his own legs to walk normally.

Although they were interrupted in the middle, Yang Ming and Catherine still kissed passionately, which marked the end of the honeymoon vacation.

When Catherine successfully returned to the overhauler base, Yang Ming sneaked away from the mountain villa without disturbing the small team of a certain earl family next door, and sailed into the vast expanse of Yaha on a small transport ship that had been prepared in advance. star field.

Yang Ming didn't know what was going on with him either.

When he was on the surface, he always had a feeling of unreliability, as if the earth would suddenly sink, and he would be trapped in a cage that fell from the sky.

But when he goes into space and rides in a thin-hulled spacecraft that is completely vulnerable compared to the surface buildings, he will feel a kind of freedom from the heart.

Play some dynamic music, shake your body in the unmanned cabin, imitate some classic film and television poses in memory, and let out a howl from time to time. This feeling can be described in one word.

comfortable!

Half a day later, a long-lost broadcast sounded from the Dongfeng bridge.

"The captain arrives at the bridge."

026, who was playing games on the sofa in the corner, instantly jumped up. Although the blouse and skirt on her body were very simple, they highlighted her extraordinary figure even more.

"Boss! You are willing to come back! Ah, no, no...you are finally back!"

026 rushed forward with a smile.

Yang Ming glanced at her, then calmly looked away, and reminded, "I'm not wearing underwear."

"Well?"

026 looked down and quickly raised his hand to cover his chest. The capillaries on his face expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. He turned his head and ran towards the gate of the bridge, not forgetting to let out a dragon roar:

"Boss! Don't say such things directly!"

Yang Ming cleared his throat, calmly walked to his exclusive seat, and sank into it comfortably.

sense of security.

"Lü, what are you doing? Why don't you come out to meet my boss?"

"Boss, wait a minute, I'm busy merging into a new server group... Alright!"

Lu's realistic projection appeared on the side, and then he laughed silly at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming browsed the recent voyage log of the Dongfeng, wondering: "Have you made a lot of money recently? What have you been smirking about all this time, or is your computing power one percent of that of your senior?"

"Of course not," Lu pinched his waist triumphantly, "but my current computing power must be two or three thousandths of hers! Humph!"

Yang Ming couldn't help complaining: "How much money did the empire spend on this empire's total defense system?"

"Well, boss, you don't need to underestimate yourself, you are definitely not worse than Levy Sherman!"

Lu Xi smiled, and leaned over graciously, using the realistic touch created by the simulated gravity system, to help Yang Ming squeeze his shoulders and beat his back.

"Boss, oh no, master, look, the companion robot that Ms. Catherine bought is just kept in any villa anyway, why don't you open up the authority to us, let's get it back to the dark star and reform it, and make sure you have it." The super charm of women beyond human!"

Yang Ming scolded: "You don't come here to attack me! Work hard! I don't accept mechanical love."

"Narrow, tsk, it's really too narrow."

Lily shook his head:

"Compared with this vast and boundless universe, your narrow concept of mate selection is really not conducive to the reproduction of the human population itself."

Yang Ming said indifferently: "The so-called advanced civilization is not an excuse for humans, as carbon-based organisms, to ignore the essence of reproduction. The pressure generated by the evolution and development of the social system can easily cause individuals to have the illusion of self-cognition, and thus produce some Strange quirks, these are things that should be fixed."

"You turned out to be a revisionist!"

"It's written in the book, the "Emperor's Biography"."

Yang Ming snapped his fingers:

"Stop chatting, and help me collect information on Emperor Star.

"I thought about it carefully just now, and I always felt that something was a little unusual. The emperor directly ordered the mobilization of super reformers to enter the Emperor Star. This should be unprecedented, or something that hasn't happened in the past few hundred years.

"Check it out first."

"Okay, let me collect the information...it's a little strange."

Lu turned to Yang Ming's side, and the cheongsam suit that accompanied the wine in the customs shop was replaced by a pure and lovely pleated skirt and white shirt, and the slightly curly long hair was also replaced by a refreshing short and medium hair.

She has already collected the information, and after a little tidying up, she began to report:

"Emperor Star is actually also in the Emperor Star circle network, but it is the center of the Empire network system, there are many barriers, and there is not much information that can be collected at present.

"However, there are some rumors on the surface of Emperor Star.

"The original archbishop passed away suddenly, and there were obvious strangle marks on his neck, but the religion of the development of imperial civilization announced that the archbishop stumbled and fell and severely injured his brain and died.

"The new archbishop doesn't seem to be convincing, he was originally a local bishop in name only.

"The so-called local bishops visit some administrative stars regularly, fill out some civilization development reports, and live on the surface of the emperor star on weekdays, and communicate closely with princes, princes, and princesses.

"And the new bishop has been criticized for his improper private life, exaggerated remarks, and unqualified patrol work for many years. He was not on the original candidate list for the new bishop."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Shadow? Do you have any photos? The Archbishop of the Empire, I remember, is an old lady?"

Lu blinked a few times, and a projection screen popped up in front of Yang Ming's eyes, and a photo of a beautiful aunt immediately appeared on it.

"I'll go, isn't this body stuffed too exaggerated?"

"Boss, the aesthetics of the imperial aristocrats is just like this. They have been led astray by the new federal fashion circle. Many aristocratic wives fill in like this."

Yang Ming wondered, "She is... forty years old?"

"Eighty-two years old, she is the sister of the former archbishop."

"Huh?" For the first time, Yang Ming directly faced the madness of human beings in pursuit of 'reverse age' and 'youth', and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Afterwards, Lu grinned and took out a bunch of unsightly private house photos that were forbidden to be viewed by those under the age of eighteen.

The new archbishop's private life is in chaos.

His private life is chaotic, he is eighty-two years old, the leader of the cult of civilization development in the empire, the seat at the center of the empire's power... Yang Ming really can't accept it.

"in addition."

Law pinched his chin and analyzed carefully:

"There is also something abnormal. The internal and external defense systems of the Emperor Star are all in a state of combat readiness. The prince, princess, prince, and officials of the Emperor Star's resident ministries have all been ordered not to talk about the former archbishop...

"The local bishops were summoned to the temple, and it was said that they were trying to overcome some problem.

"Reminiscent of the fact that the emperor suddenly mobilized super reformers to station in the Emperor Star. Is this some kind of turmoil inside the Emperor Star?"

Yang Ming wondered, "Where did you get so many gossips?"

"Stolen from the new CIA!"

"What kind of trouble can happen on the Emperor Star? There are your seniors there, and the powerful defense system of the entire empire..."

Yang Ming's words suddenly stopped, thinking of the exchange he had with the Faya people.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, continue to pay attention to the news over there. Catherine contacted me and transferred it immediately. We will stay away from the Emperor Star for the time being. We can come back before the rank promotion ceremony. By the way, I will remind Lieutenant General Thomas. When will the cell sample I want be?" can give me."

"A memo has been added, please set the next sailing route."

Yang Ming looked at the star map in front of him and thought for a while.

Let's go to see Po Whirling first, build up some relationship with this eldest sister, and feel the growth rate of her strength by the way.

Then go back to Ilanduo Star and go to His Majesty Edwan to play for a few days.

The Luofeng Empire gained a lot in the battle of Minte City this time, so they still have to drink the celebration wine.

By the way, Lü has been buying new technologies and masterminds recently, and the expenditure is a bit high. Yang Ming calculated carefully, and the leeks in Emilia's piggy bank should be able to harvest another crop.

The businessman's sense of smell.

...

Happy days always pass by in the blink of an eye.

In the past half a month, Yang Ming obviously left the empire, but there was also some small news about the white ghost in the empire.

——A count-level fanatic fan bought big screens everywhere to celebrate the debut day of the white ghost.

Yang Ming didn't know why, his kick obviously used some strength, but he still couldn't wake up the fanatical fan.

The next time you meet, double your strength.

Catherine will send a greeting message to Yang Ming every three days, because this is the period when she takes the aircraft and patrols around the Emperor Star.

In the atmosphere of the Emperor Star, they cannot send any news to the outside world, they can only wait for this opportunity to leave the atmosphere of the Emperor Star.

Her messages would be very long, describing her boring daily life in Emperor Star, implicitly expressing her longing for Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was much more direct, and would initiate a call directly every time, and chatted with her for more than half of the 'patrol cycle' despite the high delay.

Emperor Star has many rules and tight defenses, and the range of their free activities is very small;

The modular planetary structure is shocking at first glance, but after seeing more, it feels like that;

The villas of princes, princesses, and princes will hold all kinds of parties intensively, and the parties seem to have become all the entertainment on Emperor Star.

Even, the aristocrats here have developed an abnormal ethical relationship that goes beyond love and marriage. While shouting about traditional ethics, they are also doing absurd behaviors that are anti-propriety and anti-religion.

Catherine seemed very disappointed with what she saw there.

On the 23rd Milky Way day when the two separated, Yang Ming counted the time, guessing that Catherine would soon send a message, and sent away the group of Luofeng Palace maids who coveted his beauty in advance.

In order to cooperate with Yang Ming's 'holiday', Edwan deliberately placed the nearest office in the seaside palace on Ilanduo.

Yang Ming used dressings to restore the face of 'Earl Yang Ming of Luofeng Empire', wearing a big underpants lying on the air cushion chair, looking at the sea and sky from a distance.

Edwan stretched his waist and strolled over, sat down beside Yang Ming, and sighed softly.

"Waiting for your new girlfriend again?"

"Hmm," Yang Ming glanced at the beach volleyball in the distance, and asked in bewilderment, "Where's Emilia? Why don't you see her today?"

Edwan smiled and said, "I'm sad, I know you've got another girlfriend."

Yang Ming sneered: "You take care of your sister, I don't want to be missed by underage women."

"It's great that she has her own ideas," Edwan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, "Say, do I want to propose marriage to Princess Lorna of the Empire?"

"How do you feel about each other?"

"Generally," Edwan said indifferently, "it belongs to the type that can live together, but because everyone has to be busy with their own careers after marriage, they won't live together, and it won't have much impact. The main consideration is Political Factors."

Yang Ming thought carefully: "In the short term, marriage is indeed beneficial, but in the long run it is not conducive to our plan."

"Well," Edwan said, "I would like to announce the establishment of a military, political and economic three-dimensional alliance in advance, and take advantage of the impact of the insect plague before it subsides, so that it will be well-known."

"The conditions are not yet ripe."

"Ming, if the conditions on our side are ripe, this window period may be missed."

Edwan shook his head lightly, took a bottle of alcoholic drink from the back of the crawler robot passing by, and whispered:

"We should be decisive and not wait for the empire to fully recover.

"I have already taken care of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. We announced the establishment of the alliance at the beginning, and we will not get rid of the name of the empire's vassal state."

Yang Ming rubbed between his brows, he still had some doubts.

The Empire's total defense system is simply too powerful.

Yang Ming asked back: "If the empire directly tears its face apart, what should we do?"

"I will resist," Edwan replied decisively, "If my proposal fails, I will naturally take responsibility, but if we can control the influence of public opinion, there is not much possibility of failure in this matter .”

"Ed Wang," Yang Ming said with a serious expression, "Before carrying out this plan, let's have two children first."

"Ming, this is meaningless," Edwan shook his head, "I don't want the succession of the throne to appear in my life, my existence is to deny everything that Luofeng once had, and take off the word empire for Luofeng .”

"Clinging to the type of system, in fact, there is no..."

Hum, buzz!

Yang Ming's words were interrupted by the network access terminal beside him.

He thought it was a text message from Catherine, but when he opened it, he found that Catherine had sent a video directly.

Edwan made a gesture of invitation, leaned on the air cushion seat and stared at the sky, quietly lost in thought, relaxing the fatigue caused by a lot of work.

Yang Ming asked Li to modify his facial data in the camera, and then connected the video, and a three-dimensional bust of Catherine appeared in front of his eyes.

She was sitting in the corner of the patrol ship, with portholes and the outline of Emperor Star behind her, and a desk for writing a work log in front of her. She propped her right hand on the desk, and sighed with a gloomy expression.

"What's the matter, Catherine?"

"I'm getting tired of this place," Catherine said. "I might apply to be transferred from here, but His Majesty the Emperor has summoned more super-reformers, so it may be troublesome to transfer."

Of course Yang Ming would not ask, 'Are you unhappy staying there?'.

This is obviously very unhappy.

"It's fine to call it out," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I'll go back and accompany you to eat, drink and have fun, and we can travel around."

"Well, thank you," Catherine nodded gently, and whispered again, "I have a lot of confusion, I don't know if these confusions are correct, but now I always feel that this place is too depraved."

"Fallen? Specifically?"

"No one is thinking about how to make the people of the empire have a better life. No one really cares about the improvement of the civilization level they have been shouting about. Some just want to indulge their desires and pursue their own ridiculous dignity."

Catherine seemed to have opened up the conversation box, and kept saying:

"It shouldn't be called dignity. It's hypocritical and meaningless. The great nobles and officials I have come into contact with and seen during this period are all maintaining their self-esteem.

"In fact, they just want to use this method to prove that their existence is meaningful.

"But what's the point?

"The offices of the administrative agency are filled with absurd scenes; the monument woodland, which symbolizes the honor of the empire, has become a paradise for those nobles seeking excitement.

"I don't know, what's the point of me protecting them... I am loyal to the empire, Ming, my loyalty to the empire has not changed, and I will firmly fulfill my mission."

Catherine exhaled lightly.

"But I don't think the empire needs this part."

"Catherine!" Yang Ming's face was a little stern, "Keep down."

"There is no one around," Catherine shrugged, "don't worry, I know that such thoughts are extremely dangerous, but I found that many overhaulers have the same thoughts as me. Perhaps, they made a wrong decision, It is to allow us, the experimental subjects who have been branded with thought, to come into contact with the core essence of the imperial world."

Yang Ming asked, "What is the essence of your understanding?"

"The contribution of the majority has achieved the enjoyment of the few."

Catherine sighed:

"The essence of empire is oppression."

Edwan on the side gave a thumbs up.

But Yang Ming couldn't laugh at all.

"Catherine, promise me, apply to be transferred from there immediately," Yang Ming said, "Don't tell anyone other than me, it's very dangerous, especially Director Ruiwa."

Catherine smiled bitterly: "I understand, Ming, I fully understand that I am not a baby."

"You apply for a transfer order first, and I'll wait for your news."

"Well... I love you."

Catherine hung up the communication, which was the shortest time among their seven or eight chats.

Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows.

Idealists' ideals are shattered, and this situation is really troublesome.

By the way, is Dixing playing so flamboyantly? Catherine has traveled all over the years, and she can be regarded as a well-informed super-reformer captain, but she can still be stimulated to this extent.

"Lü, keep an eye on Emperor Star, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes, boss, but I can't get too close to that."

"Do your best."
