Colonial Suit

“Blood瞳, Brother!”

A figure immediately rushed into Blood瞳's embrace, wrapping her arms around Blood瞳's neck and clinging to him like a koala. She rubbed her head against Blood瞳, looking completely content.

“It’s so good to see you again. The passage took so long to complete. Have you forgotten little 波希 already?” 波希 looked resentful, but the joy on her face couldn't be hidden.

米雅 also hugged Blood瞳 from behind, looking anxious, as if afraid that Blood瞳 would run away.

“Hey, you two. Isn't this a bit much?” Blood瞳 felt his head swelling. He wasn't afraid of even the fiercest battles, but he dreaded these two little ones clinging to him. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, but he felt that the twin siblings were even more clingy. The feeling that they wanted to crush and knead him together made even Blood瞳 feel overwhelmed.

There was nothing he could do. He had known the two little ones since he first became a mercenary, and they had been with him ever since. Blood瞳 had no resistance to them.

So Blood瞳 could only comfort them gently, rubbing their little heads.

“Alright, alright… haven't we met again? Besides, the passage isn't so easy to establish, and I need opportunities too…”

“Hey, that's enough… get down quickly.”

“I don’t care!” 波希 looked up, her face tearful. “I want to be held, I want to be held, I want to be held…”

“Me too, me too, me too…” 米雅 also shouted from behind. (It's not that 小刀 is padding the word count…)

“Alright.” Under duress, he could only obey. Blood瞳 reluctantly placed the twin siblings on his shoulders, then turned to look at the man in front of him.

It was still the same old black priest's robe, handsome appearance, dashing blond hair, and sunny smile.

“罗比…”

“We meet again.” 罗比 smiled, like a big boy in the sunshine. Only the new scar on his cheek was a bit conspicuous. He reached out and shook hands with Blood瞳. Warm power surged in his hand. “It doesn't feel safe without you. It seems I'm not suitable to be a captain yet.”

“You’ve done very well.” Blood瞳 smiled. Then he frowned slightly. “The scar on your face…”

“I accidentally got it some time ago. That guy was a bit difficult, but I still managed to take care of him.” 罗比 replied with a smile. “That battle was my carelessness. So I decided to keep this scar to remind me forever.”

Saying this, 罗比 stepped aside and smiled at Blood瞳. “See who else has come?”

“朱尔斯?”

Looking at the blue-haired girl behind 罗比, Blood瞳 was stunned. “Aren't you still in the Ice Blue Starfield? Why are you here?”

“If I didn't follow you, you probably would have forgotten me.” 朱尔斯 glared at Blood瞳. This strong, wild man. After occupying her heart, he disappeared without a trace. 朱尔斯 didn't know how many times she resented Blood瞳 for being so oblivious to romance. But with 丽儿 first, she didn't dare to have any ideas.

Now it was fine, 丽儿 wasn't here. 朱尔斯 didn't mind a little 'wonderful misunderstanding' occurring. For her, Blood瞳, who possessed 克罗迪尔 blood, exuded a fatal attraction.

Blood瞳 rubbed his brow, he also felt that 朱尔斯 was up to no good. But he had no good solution for this proud girl. 朱尔斯 controlled his logistics system and was one of the most important members of his team.

“Alright, if you like it, then so be it. I just hope that the Ice Blue Starfield won't be in chaos.”

“I left 潘多拉 to handle it.” 朱尔斯 said expressionlessly. “She has a light brain chip in her body, which is much more convenient for her to handle these things than me. And without the energy problem, her power is enough to suppress those overestimating fools. When I left, I saw that she had taken over most of the underground world. The bosses there welcomed her very much…”

Welcome?

Blood瞳's mind flashed back to those unruly bosses. He couldn't help but smile wryly. 'Welcomed' after being beaten into submission, right?

But 潘多拉 was indeed very powerful. Since she solved the energy problem. Her power had undergone rapid changes. Some hidden energy weapons had also begun to be unsealed. At this time, 潘多拉 was the real war machine. Her true face.

But Blood瞳 knew that in this mechanical and cold girl's heart, there was deep inferiority.

She thought she was just a machine, a tool. Although she wanted to become a real life, she was still manufactured after all. There was no spiritual energy in her body, only cold calculations and data. She imitated humans in various details. Learning from humans, she wanted to live like humans, but all of this could only be fleeting.

She was trying to deceive herself, and also trying to deceive others.

She was human, yes, she hoped so.

“She wants to prove herself useful.” 朱尔斯 seemed to know what Blood瞳 was thinking. She said softly. “She really wants to be one of us.”

“She already is.”

“No, not yet.” 朱尔斯 shook her head, a hint of sadness appearing on her perfect face. “At least, she doesn't think so. That's why she works hard and integrates into life. Because she feels that this will make her closer and closer to us, and she will no longer be abandoned.”

“No one will abandon her.” Blood瞳 said. “We’ve proven it.”

The latest novel is first published at 六 9 书吧!

“But you can’t change 潘多拉’s heart.” 朱尔斯 said calmly. “Unless…”

“Okay. I know.” Blood瞳 interrupted 朱尔斯, he knew what 朱尔斯 was going to say, but he couldn't do it.

One 朱尔斯 was already enough to give him a headache, did he still have to add 潘多拉?

Damn it…

Blood瞳 rubbed his aching temples, deciding to put these things aside for now. He was not a person who understood emotions. In fact, for him, emotions were just appendages, burdens. In this world, only 丽儿 could enter his heart without any barriers. That was because of the warmth accumulated in the apocalypse, and the trust of struggling together in life and death.

“Alright, let's talk about these things later. Let me help you complete the virtualization first. This is a necessary process, and it will probably take several months.”

“No, I don't think it will take that long.” 罗比 suddenly said from the side, extending his left hand.

Under the lights of the bridge, his left hand gradually became blurred, and then gradually clear.

“Because of 清月, we have long been adapting to the environment of the second world.” Looking at Blood瞳's surprised gaze, 罗比 said with a smile. “Virtualization won't be as long as imagined, maybe just a few weeks. Then, we can fight side by side again.”

“Me too…”

“Me too, me too.”

“Roar…”

Mixed in with the voices of the twin siblings was a beastly roar. Looking at 烈牙, who was pacing around anxiously because he had been forgotten, Blood瞳 finally showed a smile.

“Okay, let’s… fight side by side again.”

His voice was full of strong confidence, just like… the past. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
