"Ah." said Upsilon, sitting on the cup.
Luo Binhan lowered his head in shame. Although deep down he believed that this matter was not all his fault, facing the expression of the spacecraft owner at this moment, a conscientious person had to conduct some moderate introspection. Luo Binhan reflected silently for half a minute, and then became distracted involuntarily. He began to think about the brooch and what kind of madness Jing Huang was going through. When he was immersed in these mysteries, Upsilon said in a steady voice: "So, is the Xuanhong Jade still destroying my crew room now?"
"Maybe not." Luo Binhan said politely.
"But, the movement has already caused the detection system in the corridor to alarm. It's a level three alarm. In other words, it's enough to make the system suspect that the ship's hull has been attacked by a giant creature. What are you doing in the room?"
"Maybe just do some fitness exercises." Luo Binhan said, "It's normal for children to be active. Don't the children in your hometown demolish the house?"
"The children from my hometown would not lock themselves in such a small room and cause destruction. There is no other way. I am also a simple and law-abiding worker. The cost of repairing the spacecraft, as well as the fines for disciplinary violations, and living expenses during the suspension period... Sure enough, it’s better to write to Wuyuan. Their economic system has been connected with Kebei City, so there shouldn’t be any problem with compensation or anything like that? The founder of the base shouldn’t be short of money, right? That’s it, little Guyolu I really don’t know how to deal with children and stuff like that..."
Luo Binhan couldn't listen anymore. He put his fingertips on the shoulders of the virtual image and encouraged the policeman: "Don't give up, Upsilon, remember your long-cherished wish to wait for the Man of Light!"
"You can't escape suspicion even if you say this, Mr. Luo. Xuanhongzhiyu only started to act violently after you went there, right? What exactly did you say to him?"
Luo Binhan wanted to refuse to answer this question, but then he changed his mind. He considered it and said: "I remembered something when I was a child... I think I saw a dragonfly brooch when I was a child. It looked like the one drawn on the paper you gave me. That brooch belonged to my best friend. "
Upsilon sat up straight beside the cup. He put his hands on his thighs and nodded seriously to Luo Binhan: "Please go on, Mr. Luo."
That's not easy. Luo Binhan moistened his lips with a drink, but his mouth still felt dry and burning. He tried to be objective and said: "When I was a child, I once went to the mountains to spend a summer vacation. My friend's father must have invited me there. I remember that there was a small medical station there, or it was a rural clinic. Anyway, it was a peaceful place. A place related to doctors. My friend and I lived there at that time, and it seemed that his father was visiting someone there. And then... I can’t remember exactly, but that medical station made me feel disgusted. "
"Is it because the facilities are too backward? It really doesn't sound like a place that children would like."
"No, no. It has nothing to do with that. I think... it's some other reason. I've forgotten it, it's been too long. But I remember that I always played near the gate, and I hated going inside."
Luo Binhan started drinking again. He did think about it now, but it didn't make him feel any better.
"That's not important anyway." He said, "I was having a lot of fun in the mountains, so it shouldn't be a big deal. However, my friend was holding a dragonfly brooch. I had never seen him hold it before, and he didn't do it after that vacation. Never seen it again. I don't know where he got that brooch... But, before the holiday was over, his father sent us back. I fell asleep on the way and never saw the brooch again. "
"The suspect is clear. My father sounds like a problem."
"His father is a very strange person." Luo Binhan agreed. He had never mentioned Zhou Geqing in this way before, but when he began to suspect that this man was doing something bigger and more dangerous, saying a word or two about Zhou Geqing, neither minor nor serious, seemed to matter little.
Upsilon asked Luo Binhan to talk about the "weird" things in detail. Luo Binhan had to explain in more detail. But in fact, he didn't have much interaction with Zhou Geqing. That holiday in the mountains seemed to be the last time he saw Zhou Geqing himself, leaving only a tall and thin silhouette. He found that there was almost no dialogue of more than four sentences between the two father and son. No matter what kind of difficulties Zhou Yu encountered, even if he was suspected of committing suicide, Zhou Geqing did not return from abroad. This person, who Luo Binhan's father said was "very dedicated but didn't have any hobbies in life", will always be in his unfinished "research project". He was probably the one who gave Zhou Yu the dragonfly brooch, but what did that mean? Is that related to everything Zhou Yu will encounter in the future? But Luo Binhan couldn't see it. Even though he now knew why Zhou Yu disappeared and what the damn green stone was used for, he still couldn't connect the two things. There must be some link missing.
"Hmm... It doesn't sound good to hear that, Mr. Luo." Upsilon said, "I don't want you to face this kind of thing, but according to what you said, have you ever thought about your What about friends who may not be your friends? That is to say, ah, as a father, he is a researcher on the phenomenon of insects, and he keeps a distance from his biological son. It is easy for people to think that there is something wrong with one of them, right? But, if The father has been replaced by the insect, and the son is unlikely to survive. Therefore, there is a possibility that the father, as a researcher, sacrificed his son..."
"What do you mean?" Luo Binhan asked, "Are you suggesting to me that Zhou Yu was transformed from an insect?"
"I know that saying this may hurt your feelings, Mr. Luo, but based on what you said, it is indeed possible. Let me put it bluntly, it is very possible."
Luo Binhan slapped the armrest of the chair hard. Now his mood was finally balanced. He said with satisfaction: "Your spaceship is destined to suffer this fate!"
"……Eh?"
Upsilon stared blankly at the cup, while Luo Binhan looked at the Baita product catalog with great satisfaction. Of course he wanted to figure this out, but he had to wait until Jing Huang finished going crazy.
That took longer than Luo Binhan expected, so he and Momolo studied his new clothing. They found that Momolo still couldn't control the gun-shaped light, and they didn't know what purpose it had except exploding. When they returned to the spaceship in the aircraft, they saw Jing Huang. He stood in the middle of the lounge, obviously talking to Upsilon. When Luo Binhan walked over to greet him, he ignored him and just continued to stare at Upsilon.
"……what on earth do you want?"
"I just feel sorry for my spaceship."
"I didn't break it for you."
"With such a big movement, it's hard to believe that you didn't do any damage, Xuanhongzhiyu. I dismantled the monitoring system in the crew room out of trust. It would be too much to use this as a denial."
"What I dismantled was my own stuff. I installed it just in case. It has nothing to do with your equipment."
"Does that mean the crew room is intact now?"
"...The bed and door are a little broken. It's not an expensive item, right?"
Upsilon looked at him with a smile. Jing Huang repeated unhappily: "What do you want?"
"Yeah, that's it. I won't make any excessive demands. Why don't you treat us to a meal?"
Luo Binhan and Momoluo stared together. Upsilon did not change his mind at all. He clapped his hands and said: "We have returned to the dream world now, and the two-way port nearest to Gate City is not too far away. Let's go to a restaurant to have a meal together before we say goodbye."
