Interstellar Love Hunting Guide

Chapter 88: Four generations under one roof

This is too weird to say, aren't Andreev and Quenby allies, and why would they want to kill him? Russell asked unexpectedly: "What? Andreev and Quinby fell out? Aren't they allies?"

The corner of Jopp's mouth hooked and said, "In the past, they had great interests, but since Andreev took away the chief engineer of Quinby's father six months ago, they fell out."

engineer? Why did Andreev dig his engineers during the war? Could it be that Quinbe is also involved in arms research and development? Russell's heart moved, thinking of what Sauter had explained, and said to Jopp: "Jopp, can you tell me these things in detail? The war is not over yet, and Andreev is still fighting stubbornly. Any information may change the situation of the battle. , Maybe the information you provide will be useful to the imperial army."

Jopp was taken aback, nodded, and Russell said: "I want to invite the captain of the guard to come over. What you said will be used as evidence for your benefit in the future. Cheng Ting, Jopp, whether it is for your children or yourself, you should Fight for it."

Jopp smiled and said, "Well, I will listen to your boss."

He smiled calmly. Russell knew that he didn't care about life and death anymore. He did this only because he wanted to repay him, but he couldn't think of any good way to convince him for a while. He just shook his hand and called the guard. long.

The guest room was used as a temporary interrogation room. The captain of the guard brought the recorder, sat on the chair beside Jopp’s bed with Russell, and asked, “What happened between Quenby and Andreev?”

Jopp said slowly but clearly: "Kimby's father only secretly subsidized Andreev's mining development in the devouring star system at the beginning. You know, the delta galaxy has nearly 20% of the energy and minerals distributed on the mining stars here, but Because of environmental issues, the Senator Palace has always disagreeed with large-scale mining. Later Andreev was rushed there, and Quinby’s father provided him with a high-interest loan because genetic research required a lot of money, and he had made a lot of money in the past few decades. money.

"However, what he provided was limited to funds and equipment. When he learned that Andreev had kidnapped miners through the Devouring Cult, he realized that his appetite was too great and that something might happen in this situation, so he decided to withdraw his funds. But Andreev disagreed and threatened him with a report to the empire. Later, I had an accident with the old... Mr. Russell and disappeared. Quinby’s father found out that the matter may be related to Andreev, so he brought People went to his base personally, secretly inquiring about my whereabouts in the name of negotiation."

Russell felt a little better when he heard this, saying that Quinby still had feelings for Jopp. Although this conclusion would not help anything, he somehow felt relieved for Jopp.

The captain of the guard seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Even before the war, the Devouring Star System was under the watch of the Mecha Corps. It would cost a lot for Quinby to go in and take a lot of danger. IMHO, you It’s just his adopted son, and it’s never been made public. Why would he take such a risk for you based on his position? Or do you want to hide something, for example, he has long been collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it’s not just about providing high-interest loans."

Jopp's face became extremely pale, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, he is just a businessman with a legal social status and legitimate industry. He doesn't need to risk treason. As for my identity, why? It was not made public, just because...because I am not only his adopted son, but also his lover and his experimental subject.

"A long, long time ago, he selected me among countless unicorn shapeshifters, and began to genetically modify me for a long time, with the goal of obtaining a pure descendant of Manta Rainbow Dragon. Before Emperor Evans came to power, Kun Bi’s father also participated in the election for the head of state. Although he was later disqualified because he did not marry his doomed partner, Quinby has always regarded himself as a natural competitor to His Majesty Sauter. He wanted to obtain the head of the galaxy through legal means. His status, so he disdains treason at all.

"Before me, many unicorns that were experimented died, only I survived all the transformation stages, so for him, I am as important as this galaxy to some extent, take a risk. Swallowing the star system is completely worth it." Jopp stated all this as if it had nothing to do with him, but Russell heard the infinite sadness and pain in it, and gently held his hand.

The captain of the guard frowned, and then asked: "If you are so important, how can he let you out, or even be kidnapped by the Devouring Cult?"

Jopp’s face was ashamed, and he said with difficulty: "Because, because there is another very evil thing, he must have a completely trusted, obedient, and innocent person to do it—he wants to destroy his only opponent. , His Majesty Sauter’s descendants, let them become phantom beasts just like themselves, deformed, and even unable to be born at all."

Although everything is in the past, Russell still feels a chill in his back because of the extremely vicious plan. Jopp looks at the void in front of him and continues: "He sent me to lurch beside Mr. Russell to give him long-term medicine. At first I used various methods to push back. Later, Mr. Russell married His Majesty Sauter and became pregnant. He pressed too hard. I had to start doing this. Fortunately, we were kidnapped to the Mining Star soon, so before and after. I have used less than one percent of the predetermined amount of medicine."

The captain of the guard looked at Russell and saw that he did not express any particular anger, and then asked: "Then how did he find you, and why did he turn his face with Andreev?"

"Mr. Russell and I were kidnapped to Mine Star. At that time, he had been pregnant for several months, but I didn’t know that Mine Star’s rays were too strong, and we were often threatened by Dolulu. I was getting weaker and weaker, so after discovering the energy mine, I decided to take the risk and kidnap a lot of transport ships to take him away. But I failed and was caught by the overseers to their base. In desperation, I had to say my identity. It happened to be Quinby. My father came to inquire about the news, and they exchanged me for him with some money.

"We were leaving the Devouring Star System the next day. Unexpectedly, His Majesty Sauter found Mr. Russell on the same day. That night, the rebels and the Imperial Army officially went to war. The Devouring Star System was completely blocked, and the people of General Carton quickly took control. All jump points and exits cut off all our retreat. We had to toss and turn to follow Andreev to flee. At first, he respected and feared Quemby’s father. The supply for us was okay. Later, the war came. The more intense, he felt that we were cumbersome and decided to leave us on an abandoned military station to fend for themselves.

"Quinby's father actually knew that he couldn't win. Andreev's approach was in his arms. He led people to repair and rebuild the military station, and began to do research on the wormhole transition. This matter was originally kept secret. Knowing why Andreev found out, he threatened Quinby’s father to hand over the core technology. Quinby’s father disagreed, so he tried to get rid of his chief engineer and took a group of people away. At the same time, both parties also It broke."

The long narration exhausted Jopp’s stamina. He lay on the bed panting ashamedly. Russell gave him a drink of water and asked strangely: "Since both parties are trapped in the swallowing star system, why does Quinby have no peace? Andreev shares his technology? Isn't this way everyone can escape?"

Jopp shook his head: "Quanby's father said Andreev is an old fox. Once his people have mastered the core technology, they will kick us out. Moreover, their cooperation was only for money. He was unwilling to talk to Andreev. Forming an alliance in war is true treason."

After all that should be said, Russell let Jopp rest, and went to the base office with the captain of the guard, and asked him, "Is this information useful?"

The captain of the guard nodded: "Very useful. I immediately asked the recorder to sort out the recording and minutes to His Majesty Sauter. If Andreev is also conducting artificial wormhole experiments, the mech regiment's offensive plan will be changed as soon as possible."

Russell didn't know much about fighting, and asked, "There are things I shouldn't ask, but...in a situation like Jopp, how would you be sentenced if you go to a military court?"

The captain of the guard was embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said, "Sir, you'd better ask your Majesty Sauter about these matters. In my experience, the death penalty should be unpunishable, or life imprisonment, or exile, but said Actually, it seems to be the same to him."

Russell knew what he meant. In a situation like Jopp, the chances of surviving after giving birth were not great. Even if he did survive, he would definitely not survive the long prison life.

"Thank you." Russell said to the captain of the guard. "Go ahead and do your job."

Russell didn’t care about the war. He stayed with Jopp in the following days. After recuperating, his body was much better than when he first came. The egg can also vaguely hear the fetal heart, which made him feel depressed and melancholy. A lot of cheerfulness.

Russell understands his feelings. For a father, pregnancy is just an abstract vocabulary at the beginning, but when he hears the fetal heart rate, it is completely different, because it allows a person to see the real existence of another life in his body. , The magical sense of accomplishment and joy is beyond the comprehension of others.

"What will he look like?" At night, Russell pushed Jopp in a wheelchair for a walk around the base, using some topics about the child to arouse his interest, "Is it as good-looking as you?"

"No." Jopp said calmly. He has been able to calmly say this to Russell in the past two days. "He is not a unicorn. When he was first pregnant, the doctor said that there was a 30% chance of being Manta Rainbow Dragon. Fifty percent may be phantom beasts, and another twenty percent... monsters that no one has seen before."

"No." Russell shook his shoulder blades and said, "The royal doctor in the Senate Hall will come with Evans and the others in two days. Let him help you see it. Even if there is any problem, maybe It can be remedied. Speaking of the cubs of the bat and rainbow dragons are really difficult to raise, they are too naughty, especially when they just learned to transform, hey, I was scared by them."

"Little princes, will we come together too?" Jopp's lifeless tone added a hint of expectation, and Russell nodded: "Yes, they are twins. The older one is called Panther and the younger one is called Beech. You will know when you see it. Yes, this time they ran out on the Soter ship secretly hiding behind my back. I am ready with my rolling pin, and I will show you my family law at that time."

"Ah, would you beat them?" Jopp couldn't imagine Russell's madness at all, and Russell snorted: "Boys just have to clean up often, not necessarily hurt, but you must let them know that you are angry. You, you will have to be prestigious towards your son in the future."

"Children don’t understand anything, so please love me. If it is me, he should teach him more if he does the wrong thing." Jopp was immersed in the imagination of the future. Right?"

"You are asking the right person. You will have to ask me more about this kind of thing." Russell is proud. "If they can be frightened by a stick, they will not be bat and rainbow dragons. It's useless to change it into a stick and put it in front of them. What really scares them is actually five words—'Dad is angry', haha!"

"..." Jopp opened his mouth, but his eyes slowly dimmed, he sighed impenetrably, and lowered his head.

Russell knew what he was thinking, and wanted to comfort him. When he thought of the crime he was carrying, he swallowed the words back. Even as the first partner, he was not qualified, and he did not stand to ask Sauter to help Yopp. On the one hand, the law is sacred and inviolable, and it has been too much for Jopp to stay by his side for these two days.

What should I do to help him, and what should I do to help him?
