Therapy Planet No. 13

"You did very well."

Sartre was wearing a white robe that was mopping the floor. There was no extravagant decoration all over his body. The pure white fabric reminded people of the diligent and thrifty ascetics of the old days.

He was leaning on a smooth walking stick in his hand, and if you ignored the beautifully carved white pagoda at the top, it was almost indistinguishable from a neatly trimmed and white-painted wooden stick.

"Sincerely and frightened." Ahan maintained a polite attitude, and his tone was even more respectful than that of Boyd.

"Isari will remember your credit for this."

Sartre's voice was a little thick, even with a hint of love.

"You sneaked into the tower as a heretic. Fortunately, you haven't made a big mistake, and you converted to my lord in time. Now you have proved your piety to the Lord with practical actions, and the Lord will forgive your sins."

The cane hit the ground, and a subtle rhythm came from the hollow cane, like a chant or an elongated aria.

A burst of fine tremors jumped up from the soles of the feet, and the crisp numbness made every pore stand upright.

"The Lord will bless the believers and punish the fallen." Satter paused, "Speak your wishes."

Ahan was silent for a while, then raised his head slowly, and met those eyes under Sartre's mask, which were at the top of the sky, the dark blue with higher white clouds, and endless storms brewing in the calm sky, which seemed to be in harmony with those above. The universe is one.

"My parents, both painters, once co-created a satirical scroll called Issari of the Commonwealth."

Ahan took a deep breath: "They were secretly taken away by the federal government after the exhibition of this painting - there must be more similar things covered by them under the coverage of the star network - I am willing to dedicate myself to revealing all this. s life."

"It takes time and it takes perseverance."

Sartre refused and did not promise.

"Then I'm going to continue..."

"Choosing a belief and joining an organization are not in conflict." Sartre saw through Ahan's doubts at a glance, "The Lord never forces sentient beings. When you have conflicts and confusion, listen to your inner voice."

"Your heart will tell you the answer."

at the same time.

"Everything I know is here."

Lui handed the thin envelope to Lucas.

She was wearing a beige windbreaker, with a layer of beige turtleneck sweater close to her body. The sweater was brand new and had not been treated with water, so it was inevitable that some uncomfortable bristles were tied around her neck.

Lu Yi loosened his collar uncomfortably, and kept fighting to the death with the sweater that tied his neck.

"OK."

Lucas took it naturally, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "It seems that you don't like this outfit that An chose for you."

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I'm not used to it." Lu Yi said honestly, "I haven't worn this kind of clothes for a long time."

"Dare she like the one I chose!" Angel hung on Lu Yi and took care of the circle behind her neck for her.

Angel stepped on a pair of black Martin boots and looked up from the bottom. The little black dress had just wrapped his hips, and the open leather jacket was covered with a white V-neck sweater of the same style as Louie, from top to bottom. The ubiquitous glittering buttons are dizzying.

"If you change your mind, you can always contact me."

Lucas smiled noncommittally: "My personal contact information has been given to you, and the Free Alliance welcomes new forces like you to join."

"I will think about it."

"Don't even think about it!"

Louis and Angel spoke in unison.

"We are now in the hyperspace port near the Sphinx Betelgeuse. The local time is five in the morning. Some of the nearby attractions are very famous, and there are a lot of people coming and going, but the federal government is out of reach, and there are many local snakes. In other words It's not too strong, it's a place that you don't care about, and the missing and the mercenaries also like to use this place as a supply station and a vacation spot. I think you will like this place very much."

"Thank you."

Lu Yi nodded and turned his eyes to Locke: "Are you really not going with us?"

"No, I'll stay here."

Locke casually threw on a Liberty Alliance clothes, with wide buttons, loosely wrapped around him, with a nondescript sloppy: "I don't have a place to go anyway, let's say - where are there more dead people than battlefields?"

He touched his chin meaningfully: "It's been a long time since I came out. I didn't expect so many 'interesting' things to appear outside... Whether it's bugs or humans, I'm very interested."

Since he got on the pirate ship of the Freedom Alliance, Locke has been at ease in the research department.

The experience accumulated on the 13th and a large amount of first-hand information made him a new star in the research team. For this kind of "anti-bones" who directly contacted the dark side of the government, Lucas naturally also refused to come. The two hit it off, Locke He immediately became a member of the Free Alliance.

"Who didn't want to leave in the first place?" He Xiangbin couldn't help but snorted beside him.

"Tsk, didn't you expect the outside world to be so exciting?"

Rarely, Locke didn't fight back. He raised his chin slightly, with a mighty arrogance: "What about you? You're not going with them?"

Clothes are directly sent to buy from outside temporarily.

He Xiangbin was tall and thin from the beginning, and looked weak and weak. At this moment, he was wearing a light-colored shirt with fine plush, a dark brown suit and vest, and his pants were slightly lighter light brown. Trousers—just a book and a pair of glasses away from the genteel aristocrats of old.

"I want to go back to the home planet to see." He Xiangbin smiled kindly.

"What's so good about that kind of garbage!" Locke rolled his eyes and snorted.

"I've always wondered ... if they regret it," He said.

There was not much emotional ups and downs in his voice: "On the matter of sending me to the 13th."

He Xiangbin smiled to himself: "I must be very dissatisfied with my appearance. Well, I didn't become a man enough to be 'manly'."

"No, you're just a coward - if you hadn't come out this time, I'm afraid you'd still be a tortoise in that shabby place for the rest of your life." Locke sneered, "If you want a reason, why would you go earlier? It's not that you can't. go out."

He Xiangbin said with emotion: "Yeah, I figured it out now."

A chill flashed in his eyes for a moment: "I can even throw away so many people on the 13th, what else can't be thrown away?"

A whole planet of people, countless people he watched and sent in to grow up, almost all of them are his students.

But when he left Planet 13 and exploded, he was able to abandon these people without hesitation.

He used to think that he was a nostalgic person, and even thought that it would be good to stay on the 13th all his life, but time did not reduce his madness, but the layer of "benevolence, righteousness and morality" covering the surface of the heart was changed. The mask is polished.

He Xiangbin felt that perhaps most of the people on that planet were indeed "problematic lunatics", but in different forms.

"I want to look for Dawn after that." He Xiangbin touched the cuff on his wrist, "If possible."

"I... can I follow you?"

Jessica finally found her place to interject and looked at Angellui.

She is the youngest in the team except Dawn. Except for being able to communicate with the computer, she has no sense of existence in real life.

On the 13th, all she thought about was how to get out, but when she did, she was the one with the least goal.

"No." Angel rolled his eyes, "We don't like to bring small burdens."

Lu Yi peeled off Angel's claws around his neck: "It's a burden."

Physically, it's really cumbersome.

"Would you like to go with me?" He Xiangbin sighed, he has always been patient with children, perhaps tutoring new people has become his professional habit, he can't ignore the companions who appear in front of him, "If we are together, And a companion."

"Yes, can you?" Jessica didn't expect the eldest He Xiangbin to pick her up, but now he offered to take it upon himself, which made Jessica a little overjoyed.

"If you want, I can take you back to your home planet." He Xiangbin kindly suggested.

Jessica turned her head awkwardly, a hint of coldness flashed in her initially hesitant and cowardly eyes: "No need."

"I don't want to see them." The little girl clenched her fists, not throwing them at any specific objects at all.

"Maybe there's a place you'll like."

Lu Yi, who had not spoken much, suddenly said, "Star Web Worm."

"Ah, the largest hacker organization in the universe." Angel also responded, winking at Jessica, "I have a friend who is one of them, if you want, I will ask her to send you an invitation to the internal test. share?"

Jessica was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Okay, thank you."

"Then... Then what are you going to do after you leave?" Jessica hid beside He Xiangbin, but glanced at Angel and Lu Yi.

Whether it was the preparation plan on the 13th or the series of things that happened after escaping, Jessica had long since thought that the leaders of the team were these two. She never thought about the result of separation after escaping. .

Years of collective life made her think that getting together is the norm, but she forgot that separation is the main theme of constant experience in life.

Even He Xiangbin, if it is inconvenient to take her one day, he will not hesitate to leave her behind.

No one can be counted on all the time, and no one can always be there for someone for granted.

"A date."

Angel answered as a matter of course: "Of course couples should go on a date! The first stop is the Sphinx Nebula of Betelgeuse, which is said to be an ancient Egypt. I have always wanted to see it before, and I heard that the nearby desert rose smells. The ice cream was delicious too.”

Jessica: "..." Okay, she thinks the speculation that these two will team up to bomb a certain base is overthinking it.

None of the people present were squeamish. After deciding where to go, Angel urged Lu Yi to leave quickly.

The hatch was slowly pushed open, and just as a small gap was exposed, Lu Yi tentatively released his spiritual net—sure enough, like a remote town that finally got the signal, the star net was overwhelmingly surrounding, as long as she You can log into this giant network whenever you want.

However, the star network signal here is not very stable - after all, it is not a zone controlled by the federal government - even the signal towers that maintain the star network are picked up by local local snakes from the abandoned space station.

It's like a person with great hands-on ability built a radio station independently. The frequency can be connected to the main star field, but it is limited by hardware and intermittently.

Even so, it's better than completely blocking the 13th.

The hatch opened, and a pungent smell of engine oil rushed along with the autumn wind mixed with fallen leaves. As soon as Angel took a step forward, a small khaki whirlwind whizzed past her. , and pushed her back sharply.

Lu Yi followed behind and quickly supported Angel's shoulder: "..."

Angel was silent for a moment: "Lu Yi."

"Um?"

"Our wallets were stolen."

"…"
