star hunter

Suddenly, stronger and stronger magnetic field changes occurred around Xilin, and distortions appeared around Xilin's body.

Xilin finally understood the reason for that obedient feeling.

The curled leaf pattern on his fingers reacted to the opening of the space-time vortex. The huge attraction pulled Xilin towards

To be precise, the attraction was directed at the leaf curl pattern, but now Xilin, who was firmly attached to the leaf curl pattern, became the bearer of this force.

Green light emerged from the leaf curling pattern, enveloping Xilin entirely.

Xilin stood relatively back. After all, the front was reserved for people like Gada and Ji Feng, so Xilin spontaneously stood at the back of the team. Now everyone was looking at the space-time vortex in space. No one paid attention to Xilin, so at the beginning

No one pays attention when something unusual happens.

When the gray cat turned to look, the light just came out of the curled leaves. This light gave the gray cat a very scary feeling. The gray cat often acted on intuition, so when he saw this light, a sentence appeared in his mind: Xilin

Going to the other side of the space-time vortex!

So the gray cat jumped directly over, hugged Xilin's arm with his paws, and wrapped his tail tightly around it.

Gray Cat has been in this world for so many years, and only Xilin is the only one who truly trusts him. Others, even people from the Sixth Squadron, have room for Gray Cat's trust, but if something happens to Xilin or disappears suddenly, it will

What should I do? Will he be captured and dissected by those strange scientists? Also, it will not starve where there is silin. If it is left alone, it will not be able to return to its original living standard?

Absolutely not!

The gray cat's movements were actually faster than its thinking, and the following thoughts were only thought of after it caught Xilin.

Xiying slowed down a beat. When he passed by, the light had already enveloped Xilin and Gray Cat, and he was directly bounced away.

Even Ji Feng and the others couldn't get close to Xilin. In addition, the magnetic field fluctuations around Xilin were getting stronger and stronger, and the figures of Xilin and Gray Cat had become blurred. No one was forced to get close.

Seeing Xiying being bounced away, the gray cat spat out the ring in his mouth. If he and Xilin were not there, would Xiying be alone, would he be troubled by other vanguards, would he starve, would he

Yes... No matter what, the contents of this ring are enough to support Xiying's independence.

It's really hard for this cat to think of this for Xiying in such an emergency. In fact, Gray Cat thinks. Having Xilin there is an absolute meal ticket. It will definitely live a better life than Xiying. For "one of our own" Gray

Cats are quite caring.

Gray Cat originally had something to say to Xiying, but he never had the chance to say it.

The light became more and more powerful. The figures of Xilin and Gray Cat became more and more faint, and then a ray of light flashed and shot directly into the space-time vortex above.

After the light submerged into the vortex, the space-time vortex slowly weakened until it disappeared.

Everything has returned to its original state. However, now there is dead silence all around, there are no calls, and everyone is staring blankly at the disappearing vortex of time and space.

The long-awaited "shortcut" just appeared and disappeared?

Xiying ignored the thoughts of others and stretched out his hand to catch the slowly falling ring that the gray cat spat at him. He closed his fingers and firmly grasped the ring in his palm. This was the ring that was stripped from Oscuro's body.

, Gray Cat has always regarded it as a treasure. Xilin also planned to use this ring as a reserve "granary" for Gray Cat and Xi Ying. But now, Xi Ying is the only one left.

Xiying tried to contact Gray Cat and Xilin. However, there was no indication of their lives at all. The communicator on Xilin's body could not be contacted, and Gray Cat could not be contacted either. It was as if the two had suddenly disappeared.

These two disappeared suddenly.

Although he was just a robot, Xiying suddenly felt a feeling that had never appeared before. He couldn't describe what that feeling was. It was too complicated. To describe it one by one, it was uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable.

Sigma will fully express his thoughts, but Xiying is more restrained. He still has the same face that does not change his expression all year round, but the look in his eyes has changed a lot. It’s just that Xiying lowered his head and looked at the ring on his hand.

, just didn’t let others see it.

"Eh? Eh!!!!" The blue light on Sigma's face turned into several large vertical lines, and he cried out in confusion.

Sigma's cry brought Gada and the others back to their senses.

"They...went in?" Xinzhao said.

Gada and others made no sound.

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!" Sigma shouted, waving his arms and rushing into the passage to see the machine.

Ji Feng and his party also followed him inside. They wanted to know what was going on with Tamar.

After Sigma came inside, he held his head in his hands, and blue strips of light flashed irregularly on his face, which showed that Sigma was in a confused mood.

All the energy was exhausted, and the connection node programs were also confused. Some instruments had major or minor problems. It can be said that the programs on these instruments were confused and some were damaged. It would take a lot of money to repair them.

less time.

The gray cat caused a kind of "mechanical language" radiation before being sucked in. Even Xiying and Sigma had an image for a moment. However, Xiying and Sigma were special after all, and they were able to survive, but other instruments could not, whether it was

Both the aircraft staying not far away and the instruments on the planet were affected, causing program confusion.

Even the "Reaper"'s starship, which had retreated far away due to the space-time vortex, was affected and lost control for a period of time.

Sigma looked at the instruments there, "sobbing", and then looked at Xiying who came over, "What should I do? The 'shortcut' cannot be opened temporarily."

"How long will it take to open the 'shortcut' again?" Xiying asked. Ji Feng and others also listened carefully.

"It will probably take three to five years, I can't say for sure. But..." Sigma looked at the strings and a flashing icon on the central screen, but still did not say the "but" and ended with a sigh.

Both Gada and Ji Feng asked Sigma some questions, and the conclusions they got made them feel ridiculous.

"Xilin and Hulun may have been sent to the other end of the time and space vortex. I don't know why this is happening." Sigma pointed at his finger. He was tangled and aggrieved. His journey home was in vain, and both Xilin and the gray cat left.

He will be lonely.

Xilin didn't know what other people would think after he left. After being enveloped by the green light, he felt isolated. Moreover, Xilin lost consciousness at the moment when the green light shot towards the space-time vortex.

After a long time, Xilin finally regained consciousness. Now Xilin felt as if his whole body had been torn to pieces and put back together again. How could he feel any pain at all?

Complex noises, the sound of propellers and speeding cars, unknown voices shouting, the sound of metal falling...

It gradually became quieter.

After a while, Xilin opened his eyes.

The scene in front of him reminded Xilin of the small room he once had on Saturn.

The layout is very simple. It can even be described as shabby.

In the corner, there is an old robot with exposed circuits sitting there quietly. It seems that it has been there for a long time and has already become covered with a layer of dust.

Xilin moved his fingers and felt fine.

But sitting up, Boss Xilin's strength was wasted. It also caused the muscles all over his body to hurt like iron. This was because the original serious injury from Oscuro had not healed, and in addition, he had experienced another painful journey to the time and space vortex.

, the injury added to the injury, Xilin took a sharp breath in pain.

Finally he recovered and exhaled. Xilin saw the gray cat holding his arm like an octopus.

But now the gray cat is motionless, frozen there, not breathing.

Xilin could feel the gray cat's breath of life. Although this guy had no breathing or heartbeat, he was still alive.

Xilin flicked the gray cat's ears.

Do not move.

Poke his belly.

Still not moving.

Xilin frowned. Did he panic?

Xilin still has the same set of clothes he had before, but the protective suit is left on a shelf next to it. It is damaged in many places.

Suddenly noticing something, Xilin turned his head and looked over. The peeper shrank back, but not for a long time.

One head, two heads, three heads.

Three round heads with extremely similar looks stuck out from the door. Little Douding, who didn't look too big, was looking at Xilin with his big eyes, full of curiosity, but also a little scared after thinking about it.

As expected, he is a child, and all his thoughts are expressed directly on his face.

Xilin smiled at them and said nothing. He was not sure what the situation was now and was afraid that he would make a mistake. Smiling can express kindness, especially some children, who can get encouragement from smiles.

Seeing Xilin smiling at them, the three little beans were encouraged and also smiled at Xilin.

Although the decoration inside the room is relatively shabby, indicating that the conditions of the owner here are not good, the faces of these three little cubs are plump and there is no sign of malnutrition. It can be seen that the owner here is still very concerned about the growth of the children.

Attention.

One of the little cubs retracted his head and ran away, shouting something that Xilin couldn't understand.

It is indeed a strange place. Xilin knows the regional languages ​​of each Star Alliance region, but now Xilin doesn't understand at all what the child is shouting.

One little bean boy left, and one of the remaining two was more courageous. He walked over slowly, lay down on the bed and looked at Xilin, and said something, but Xilin couldn't understand it.

The little guy said something again, and Xilin made a puzzled expression, indicating that he didn't understand. But he was a child after all, so he didn't think about whether Xilin could understand the language. He turned to the little boy who was still poking his head at the door.

The guy said a few words.

Just as he was talking, footsteps came from outside the door, and from the sound, he knew it was an adult.

An old man was pulled by the little kid who ran away just now. He walked in with a loving smile. Although he looked older and slightly hunched over, he was in good spirits and relatively healthy. His hands were rough and full of scratches.

Calluses.

After seeing Xilin sitting up, he said something. Xilin looked at the old man in confusion and expressed that he did not understand what they said.

In addition, even the little guy rushed towards the old man and pointed at Xilin without knowing what he was talking about.

Old man Chang was repairing machinery. His grandson ran over and said that the man they had brought back had woken up and was sitting on the bed smiling at the three of them. Old man Chang put down what he was doing and his grandson pulled his finger here.

Walk.

Originally, because it was the triplets' birthday, Old Man Chang promised them that he would take them to the outer planet for this birthday. A few days ago, he flew to the outer planet in his own small aircraft.

However, for people with their conditions on their planet, it doesn’t matter how good or bad the aircraft they drive is, nor whether it can carry out long-distance voyages and warp-speed flights. They cannot afford to pay for the energy consumption of the aircraft alone, and a family like theirs can barely survive.

The maintenance cost of a dilapidated aircraft is not bad. Due to energy issues, Old Man Chang saved up for a long time to be able to fly this time. And based on the condition of their aircraft, they cannot stay away from the planet at all, so they can only fly symbolically.

, or my grandson’s sharp eyes saw the person floating in space.

Because Xilin was wearing protective clothing at the time, Old Man Chang automatically classified Xilin as an engineer doing space operations. Space missions are very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be thrown into space and then abandoned. Old Man Chang knows this situation.

Quite a few. Many engineers died in space like this. Rich people will directly use maintenance robots, but those without money can only rely on manpower. They can't afford such maintenance robots, and they don't trust cheap maintenance robots.

Therefore, more people who do not have the conditions tend to hire maintenance engineers to complete space operations.

The money earned like that is earned through hard work. Old man Chang also did that kind of thing when he was young. But now that he is getting older, there is another thing that he can't let go of the little guys at home, so he doesn't do that kind of thing anymore.

Do your current job dutifully.

Old man Chang also saw the gray cat wrapped around Xilin's arm, and old man Chang also sighed. It is not easy to have such a loyal pet, but unfortunately, when they found this person, the gray cat was already stiff.

Bi died for a while.

If the gray cat knew what Old Man Chang was thinking, he would definitely be furious.

Old man Chang had never seen the style of protective clothing Xilin wore. He might not be from their planet, but after all, old man Chang had done space maintenance work. He also had a good impression of Xilin, and felt pity for Xilin even more when he saw his age.

Such a young man actually took on such a dangerous job. If he hadn't encountered them or his protective clothing had been scratched, he would have been dead.

Xilin's protective suit was only scratched after Old Man Chang rescued Xilin. Otherwise, he would not be able to rescue Xilin at all, and he would not even be able to feed him the pills.

Sun Tzu said that this person seemed a bit stupid, but Old Man Chang felt that this young man could not understand what they were saying. After thinking about it, Old Man Chang changed a language and spoke a strong and arrogant and somewhat lame Imperial Capital language, which was also from the Empire.

Common language.

"Could you understand me?"

Xilin really understood this. At the same time, Xilin was shocked. This was very similar to the language that Yuanye gave him when he was a child. Yuanye said that it was the language of his hometown, but Xilin could not find it in the Star Alliance.

I have never heard such language before. I didn’t expect that I can hear it here now.

"Yes, I can understand a little bit of this." Xilin tried to say something.

Hearing Xilin's words, the old man's eyes lit up, "It turns out he is from the Imperial Capital Star Territory!"

Xilin scratched his head and looked embarrassed. In fact, he had no idea that "Imperial Capital Star Territory" meant Mao.

Seeing that Xilin did not deny it, Old Man Chang classified Xilin as a young man who grew up in the Imperial Capital Star Territory but whose family conditions were not good and who came out to perform dangerous jobs for some reasons.

Generally, people from the Imperial City Star Region can pronounce such standard words. There are very few people with standard pronunciation in other star regions. This is difficult to pretend. At least, Old Man Chang has never heard of anyone on this planet except for videos in the media for so many years.

Able to speak such standard imperial dialect.

"Are you a mechanical engineer?"

"That's right."

Old man Chang looked at Xilin with pity on his face. It was not easy to make a living in the imperial capital. Now that he came to a small place like theirs, he must have been forced to do nothing. Oh, poor child.

Xilin kept his best smile, but when he saw Old Man Chang's expression that was half pitiful and half loving, the corners of Xilin's mouth twitched again and again.

"My surname is Chang. Just call me Grandpa Chang like the boys around you." Old man Chang handed Xilin a glass of water and a few pills and said.

Xilin took the pill and took it immediately, and thanked Old Man Chang.

Old man Chang smiled happily when he saw Xilin taking the medicine so easily. Others would have studied the medicine with suspicion for a long time.

Old man Chang didn't know that Xilin immediately analyzed the ingredients of the pills when he took them. They were all basic tonics, so he took them so easily. He didn't know if old man Chang would break the hearts of the elderly if he knew the truth.

"My name is Xilin." Xilin didn't say much, he just said that he was alone.

Old man Chang chatted with Xilin, and Xilin briefly learned about the family's situation.

The three little Doudings that Xilin saw were five-year-old triplets, ranked six, seven, and eight respectively. Old man Chang simply called them Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ba, without any other names.

The situation here is very bad. The survival rate of children in a family is too low, so every family will save many children. Because of the high mortality rate, people here generally do not directly give formal names until they grow up or

In some special circumstances, another name will be given.

The old man and his wife passed away early, but after finally giving birth to a capable son, they also left them because of an accident. The daughter-in-law has been working hard to give birth to children. After the son left, the daughter-in-law also became thinner and thinner. After giving birth to triplets, she followed

Went, leaving old man Chang and six children behind.

Why do we say there were six children? Neither the eldest nor the second child survived.

However, the eleven-year-old twins Chang Xiaosan and Chang Xiaosi managed to get into a good school and left this area to study.

As for Chang Xiaowu, he was a poor child who had experienced setbacks since his mother's womb and was born with poor physical conditions. He often fell ill and had to take medicine to grow up.

Old Han Chang now earns some basic living expenses every day in his own small repair shop to support himself and his children. In this area of ​​the planet, there are densely packed families similar to Old Han Chang’s family. He opens a small repair shop in his own house to support his family.

Life. To be continued..
