Chapter 49 Chapter 49
According to our preliminary investigation, there are indeed many doubts in Bai Nian's body. We retraced his entry and exit records and the coordinates of his going out over the years, and found that some of them are quite suspicious. But Bai Nian has made this point before. Detailed report: He had to contact some black market drug dealers in order to find psychiatric medicine for you, and some of them used the connection of the Bluetooth mission...
A few days later, Lu Taipan finally found a chance to go back to his home to rest after completing his extremely heavy official duties, but he had no spare room even for this part of the journey. Bai Nian's follow-up treatment.
Speaking of Bai Nian, Lu Taipan frowned slightly.
Obviously you have noticed the doubts in Bai Nian, but you let him continue to stay in the snake cave as my medical officer... Is it because he claims to be able to develop a cure for me, or because of his fanatical loyalty and paralysis? Your vigilance? Lu Taipan glanced at the housekeeper coldly, although his tone was calm, but the coldness between the words made the housekeeper's data get stuck.
It's just my negligence. The housekeeper said dryly, The inspectors responsible for this matter have made a profound review. At that time, they thought that Bai Nian did this to save your life. This kind of behavior - considering that your state is really bad, and Bai Nian's various behaviors show that he is likely to be the only one who can save you, the viper member in charge of monitoring therefore showed his slight crossing of the line. Unbelievable tolerance.
Well, forgiving?
Lu Taipan snorted coldly.
The butler looked serious, pretending that he was just a reporting machine without any emotion, it continued to report with a bitter face: The entire monitoring team involved in this breach of duty has now been assigned K-199 Galaxy to be responsible for cleaning up the stars. Worm droppings on the route...
Hearing this, Lu Taipan withdrew his gaze coldly.
He swept his terminal, Bai Nian had been sent to a remote galaxy outside the Earth Alliance at this time, but this did not mean that the investigation of him was over, in fact, everything had just begun. At present, in the investigation report, Bai Nian is indeed in private contact with some black market businessmen and illegal biological experiment institutions. Most of the transactions are related to mental relief treatment, which seems to be exactly as Bai Nian claimed before. , everything he did was to save Lu Taipan's precarious mental state, however...
Lu Taipan accurately locked several seemingly mundane contact reports in the complex information.
Look carefully at this line.
He said in an indifferent tone, but his eyes were a little gloomy.
These seemingly harmless and neutral interstellar brokers seem to be... related to some people behind the scenes.
Check the inner courtyard again.
The Lord of the Snake Cave added.
It has to be said that before Su Liang arrived, no matter how hard he tried to support Lu Taipan's physical condition, it was indeed extremely dangerous.
I am afraid it is precisely because of this that the greedy and evil beasts who have been entrenched around the snake cave have also smelled the faint smell of blood, and they are eager to try to bite a piece of meat from the seriously ill monster.
Those who dare to put their hands in the snake cave will naturally let them know how powerful the snake teeth are.
Thinking of this, Lu Taipan suddenly sneered softly.
The housekeeper caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Lu Taipan's mouth at this time. As a pure electronic creature, he vaguely felt some kind of emotion similar to shudder.
The Lord of the Snake Den, considered by all to be evil spirits, monsters, and lunatics, may indeed be, in a way, as feared as... terrifying.
...
But at this moment, Lu Taipan suddenly stopped, he turned around, and looked fixedly somewhere.
From the snake master's office to his residence, the route happened to pass through the mecha training ground.
Across the open door, in the bustling training ground at this time, there was a slender figure that was particularly eye-catching.
The young beta, holding the recorder, was surrounded by a group of poisonous snakes.
You just listen to me, there's absolutely nothing wrong, this is the experience I've spent my life trying to do. It's the easiest way to deal with those gangsters, you just need to use the regular shield of the mecha to block the first round of attacks. Then, in the cooling gap of the enemy, use a high-performance laser beam above K-11 level to aim at the opponent's gun. At this time, the opponent is still accumulating energy, and the weapon shield will not work at all, as long as the accuracy Enough, just enough to blow up those bastards' weapon systems.
Lu Taipan heard the impassioned voice of a certain poisonous snake.
The lord of the snake cave stared coldly at the poisonous snake who spoke.
The tall Alpha just put his elbows on Su Liang's shoulders without hesitation, sharing his experience with bold words.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by another stronger snake.
The new serpent waved his arms impatiently, performing ineffective demonstrations in the void.
How can there be so much trouble?! Chi Lian, you are really stupid, using shields to resist attacks? This is too much damage to the mecha defense. If you accidentally fall into a protracted battle, it is easy to damage too much in the later stage... When the enemy gathers, simply give up all accuracy and throw two anti-gravity sniper bullets, this is the best solution for that kind of rabble!
Ah, I can't stand you bastards! Do you think everyone is like you? Two anti-gravity sniper bombs are attached to the civilian mecha, and the mobility drops too fast. Once surrounded, it means waiting to die!
Then, there was a lazy voice, and that voice came from Xue Yinhuan.
I saw that he pushed the man beside Su Liang directly, leaned over by himself, then put his arms around Su Liang's shoulders affectionately, and kept making changes on Su Liang's recorder.
Did you idiots not hear what Xiao Liang said before? This is an emergency defense manual compiled for the civilians in the forty-eighth district! The advice you gave is completely nonsense, no, Xiao Liang, ignore them, or listen to them. mine……
Seeing that Su Liang was defenseless, he let Xue Yinhuan get closer and closer.
Lu Taipan's eyes were extremely cold.
...
Under normal circumstances, we are too lazy to deal with things like star thieves, but as you said, because the forty-eighth district is not protected by the border guards, if these bastards are often robbed, the best imprint plan is not to confront them. The firepower of the civilian mecha is really poor, and it will fall apart with a little movement. It may be fine for a long-range attack, but once it reaches the level of close combat, it is likely to fall into an absolute disadvantage...
Su Liang was burying his head in memorizing Xue Yinhuan's suggestion, the cursor on the recorder flickered like flying.
He came to the training ground today just to confirm some minor issues with Xue Yinhuan.
Unlike other star areas guarded by layers of guardian troops, the forty-eighth area, as the most impoverished area, was the most frequently looted by star thieves.
Su Liang only had a vague idea in his mind. He wanted to add some emergency plans to his teaching materials to teach those young people who only rely on instinct to fight against star thieves. If you can really gain some experience from places like the Snake Cave, then the casualty rate of those children in the 48th district should be slightly lower, right?
Therefore, after confirming to the housekeeper that there is no mandatory training mission today, Su Liang found the mecha training ground, and planned to discuss with Xue Yinhuan the emergency plan that civilians can adopt for star thief attacks...
He had no idea at all that he and Xue Yinhuan had just discussed it for a long time, and when he raised his head again, there were already a lot of poisonous snakes around him. The soldiers, who were usually cold and stern, but at this time, showed enthusiasm that was completely beyond Su Liang's expectations. After learning that Su Liang was trying to make an emergency plan for the under-appreciated poor in the 48th District, the poisonous snakes seemed to be more active.
The only problem is that the poisonous snakes started to fight each other when they were talking, and when they were fighting, some people took off their jackets on the spot, shouted and went directly to the mecha to fight, and tested the experience they said to each other. wrong.
Please, please don't do this...
Su Liang was dumbfounded as he looked at the poisonous snake that started to fight for no apparent reason, and his face was a little pale.
Oh, don't worry about it, just watch these idiots fight. Whoever wins will show who's method is easy to use. Isn't it simple, convenient and understandable? But, hehe, I think you still have to use my plan in the end—
Xue Yinhuan hung on Su Liang's shoulder and said to the boy with a smile.
But before the words were finished, the voice suddenly disappeared.
What's wrong with you, Xiaohuan?
Just as Su Liang was about to ask, she found that Xue Yinhuan was not the only one who was silent.
The savage Alphas who were still aggressive before, shoving and fighting fiercely in front of him, suddenly fell silent, daring not to move, as if they had suddenly pressed the pause button.
They looked in the direction of Su Liang in horror.
And if Su Liang felt something, he couldn't help but turn back.
Then, he saw a tall figure walking towards him step by step.
Lu Taipan
The owner of the Snake Cave just finished his official business today. He was dressed in a formal suit, a long dark military uniform, and a leather belt that was tightly tied. Unlike the military uniform that is meticulous and buttoned to the top, his other accessories are casually worn, the military cap is slightly slanted, the man's long hair is shawl, and there is no bite stopper to cover, his face looks cold and arrogant... …
Moreover, he was so handsome that he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Of course, the last point is probably only Su Liang who thinks so.
Snake, Lord Snake...
Su Liang almost bit his tongue.
He was defenseless.
This was the first time he had met Lu Taipan since he came out of the mental conditioning room that day.
In the past few days, he has been trying his best to escape the Lord of the Snake Cave, not because of anything else, but simply because, as soon as he sees the other party, Su Liang will uncontrollably keep recalling that day in the completely closed mental conditioning room. , those offensives he did to Lu Taipan.
and also……
Lu Taipan responded to him.
【“You can also call me Asi.”】
The man was low and hoarse, and his solemn words seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
And whenever he thinks of the scene at that time, Su Liang will feel that the blood all over his body is rushing to his face.
Um.
After hearing Su Liang's Lord Snake Lord, Lu Taipan frowned slightly.
There was no wave on his face, completely ignoring the many poisonous snakes present, and he came to Su Liang in a few steps.
is it okay?
He looked down at the recorder in Su Liang's hand and asked.
After getting Su Liang's consent, he politely began to read all Su Liang's records this afternoon.
Lu Taipan saw the IDs of many poisonous snakes on those records, and each ID was followed by a detailed mecha operation guide and tips for dealing with star thieves. name.
However, what I provided myself was just some extremely simple common sense. This is quite normal, because the mecha teaching that time was not completed at all, and halfway through... Lu Taipan's eyes darkened slightly, and then he returned the recorder to Su Liang with a blank expression.
It's well documented.
Lu Taipan said lightly.
But I have a better plan—
While speaking, he raised his hand and waved lightly.
The door in the depths of the mecha training ground slammed open, and the pitch-black Mahu Luojia came to the center of the training ground extremely quickly, like a demon.
…
The smoke fell.
There was silence in private.
Everyone heard the last sentence of the soft words of the Lord of the Snake Cave.
I can show you the actual operation, okay?
Many poisonous snakes were silent for a while.
After a long time, the poisonous snake coughed softly.
[As expected of the boss. 】
Someone in the team communication sent a message.
Considering that the Si snake had appeared before, the viper's tone was restrained and subtle.
[If I can have half the talent of the boss, I should have a target now. 】
Someone is slapping the thigh.
【The boss is really amazing! Hope I can teach you a thing or two after beating us up. 】
[Really, I don’t think ordinary people can stand this kind of trick. 】
...
While Lu Taipan watched the constantly beating communication channel, the corner of his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't send any message on the channel.
This is Mahoraga, is it too much trouble for you?
Su Liang was stunned when she saw Mohu Luojia's appearance, followed by an indescribable nervousness.
After this period of make-up lessons, he already knew the status of Mahoraga.
Especially after Mohu Luojia appeared, Su Liang clearly felt that the poisonous snakes behind him suddenly became silent, and this strange atmosphere permeated the crowd. This made Su Liang instinctively feel that something was wrong.
Lu Taipan glanced coldly at the group of subordinates with delicate expressions, and said to Su Liang calmly: It won't be troublesome, you are not familiar with mechas, no matter how much other people say, it is better for me to take you to practice it myself.
However, Mahu Luojia is your life mecha.
Su Liang said dryly.
His heartbeat was inexplicably fast.
Face is also a little hot.
And the words that Lu Taipan said a few days ago were inexplicably reverberating in his mind.
Lu Taipan pondered and considered his words, but did not immediately respond to Su Liang.
It is precisely because of this that he let a newcomer Viper speak first.
It was a young man with wheat-colored skin who looked exceptionally sunny and cheerful, with a particularly hearty voice: Master Su Liang, that's right, our boss is worried that you are not proficient in mechas, so he decided to teach him personally! When I joined the team, our captain often used the zodiac mecha to teach me how to operate!
Su Liang was slightly startled after hearing this: So that's how it is.
He says.
At the same time that Su Liang was in a trance, he felt a little disappointed.
He naturally didn't notice that he was in a complicated mood. After the wheat-colored snake's voice fell, he got everyone's incomparably hot eyes. In the crowd, the young captain's face was flushed, and he was choked by the saliva and coughed directly.
On the other side, Xue Yinhuan observed it diligently and seriously, and found that when Lu Taipan and Su Liang ran up to his rack, he did appear to be open-hearted, without emotional fluctuations, and he couldn't help but feel agitated, and took a step forward eagerly. .
Boss, you have to bring Xiaoliang to familiarize yourself with the mecha anyway, or bring me one too, and let me see how Mohuluojia's power armor accelerates-
I'll just take a look and leave.
Xue Yinhuan didn't have time to finish the second half of the sentence.
Lu Taipan said indifferently, Xue Yinhuan, your mission seems to have not been completed.
Ah? Mission?
Xue Yinhuan was at a loss.
My mission has already been completed.
Saying that, Xue Yinhuan opened his task terminal and was about to prove this to Lu Taipan, but when the virtual screen popped up, the young poisonous snake's eyes instantly stiffened.
The task list, which had been emptied before, was now filled to the brim.
Some of them are even terrifying tasks like undercover strip clubs investigating arms smuggling that everyone dislikes and can only be digested by drawing lots.
Xue Yinhuan almost split on the spot.
How is this going?
He muttered in disbelief.
At this moment, when everyone saw Xue Yinhuan's condition, they suddenly seemed to have received some silent order.
Cough, ah, I suddenly remembered that I also have a mission that I haven't completed!
Yes, yes, mine too!
I haven't washed my feet today, no, I have to hurry up—
...
The venomous snakes and the crowd scattered as birds and beasts.
Only Xue Yinhuan had tears in the corners of his eyes, shaking his arms in panic, trying to confirm with the housekeeper what was going on with this weird task list, but the Black Mamba sighed and raised his hand to cover his arm, making the young innocent weak The venomous snake was dragged away just like that.
In an instant, only Lu Taipan and Su Liang were left in the mecha training ground.
Mohu Luojia stood quietly not far away, obviously just a cold mecha, but inexplicably, Su Liang seemed to feel a touch of expectation.
Lu Taipan had already jumped on the mecha at this time, he turned around and raised his hand towards Su Liang.
Come.
He says.
In fact, you can open the hatch by yourself and jump into the mecha. Obviously this is the case, but Su Liang involuntarily stepped forward, and then put his hand on Lu Taipan's palm. The body lightened, and in an instant, Su Liang was pulled directly into the interior of Mohu Luojia by Lu Taipan.
The familiar dark scene came into view. Su Liang originally thought that he would be nervous because of what happened here, but in fact, when he really stood here, the only thing that made him feel anxious was only one thing ——
Lord Patriarch, can I watch from the sidelines? I mean, since you need to show me the operation, it's best not to have someone share the seat with you...
Su Liang's words stopped abruptly after seeing the scene in front of the instrument.
Lu Taipan sat firmly in the driver's seat, turned his head sideways, and gave Su Liang a deep look.
In the dim light, the faint smile on his lips was so obvious.
Didn't you say yes, do you want to call me Mr. Si?
He says.
Then he raised his hand and patted the seat next to his main driver's seat.
And, don't worry about seats anymore.
That's a passenger seat.
After such a long time, the legendary mecha has finally returned to the double configuration.
Su Liang stared at the seat in front of him in amazement, a little sluggish. The housekeeper had been very serious with him about the past and present life of Mohu Luojia, but he never thought that the Lord of the Snake Cave would be in the life mecha for himself. Add a passenger seat.
Is this... a body adjustment made for me?
Su Liang asked, her voice tense and a little dry.
Perhaps his reaction was too surprising, so Lu Taipan quickly adjusted his expression.
It was originally a two-person mecha, and it's okay to add a seat.
The man explained lightly.
Finally, he added.
And I promised to teach you everything about mechas. It's just a lot of seats. It's a lot more convenient.
Su Liang stepped forward clumsily, and sat in front of the console with Lu Taipan as if in a dream, and then, under the guidance of Lu Taipan, worked with him to operate this legendary creation.
My heart was beating very fast, and my brain was even a little dizzy because of the extreme surprise.
The young Beta could only tell himself desperately, maybe just like the poisonous snake said before, Lu Taipan really only did this to better teach him about mecha.
Perhaps this is indeed a normal thing in the Snake Cave, after all, he knows better than anyone how beautiful the inside of the Lord of the Snake Cave is under the cold exterior.
Maybe……
Are you being so nice to other people too?
When Su Liang realized it, he realized that this sentence came from his own mouth.
He froze abruptly, not knowing why he would directly ask the words that had been pressing deepest in his heart.
Lu Taipan was mentally synchronizing the mecha at this time, and when he heard Su Liang's question, he couldn't help but blurt out.
nobody else.
Can't think carefully.
Unable to consider words.
Only the most instinctive reply.
only you.
