Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 : Carlos

The system was silent for a while and said: [I did not expect this situation. ]

Ji Ling: [He shouldn't have appeared here at all now. Now that the plot has changed so much, you didn't expect it? ]

The system loses money: [So, I'll check to see what's going on, you first stabilize him. ]

Ji Ling: [...]

Knowing that the system was unreliable, Ji Ling had no choice but to adapt to it. He pretended to naturally pull his hand back from Carlos's hand, and quietly carried it behind him, revealing a scowling expression. Gifts are too expensive, I can't accept them. "

Ji Ting also looked back from the shock just now, and Shen said, "Your kindness has been brought to the dog's heart, but it's just a gift. Please take it back."

Carlos's deep brown pupil smiled slightly, his tone was soothing but with unquestionable persistence, and he calmly said: "Today is Xiao Ling's success-Renli, I am also his elder, and give him a planet. what?"

Is this a mere planet? Not those junk stars without even names.

Ji Ting's brows frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Here are some juniors, why don't we go in and talk?"

Ji Ting was not sure about Carlos's intentions. He didn't understand why he suddenly showed great favor to Ji Ling. Did he want to buy and attract himself? Carlos was so insistent that it was not good for the audience to continue to refuse, lest people look at the joke, it would be bad if some unnecessary rumors were caused, so he intentionally invited Carlos to speak alone.

Carlos nodded with a smile. After taking a deep look at Ji Ling, he turned around and entered with Ji Ting.

When Ji Ling saw him leave, he found that his vest had a thin layer of sweat. The appearance of Carlos just hit him by surprise.

Speaking of the main characters in the book, what he is most wary of is Carlos. Don't look at this man who is elegant and polite. He seems to be a flawless noble, but he is the most insidious of all people. In a typical smile, the knife is cold-blooded and black.

The male protagonist, Jing Sui, is an empire emperor. Although his character is arrogant and indifferent, at most he just disregards himself. No matter how he jumps up and down, he has not tried any killing, and is too lazy to care about himself.

Although the protagonist Ning Yu has been humiliated by himself several times, he is a self-improving white lotus man, a frank and honest gentleman. Ji Ling is not worried that he will avenge himself, and he feels uncomfortable to bully him.

Villain No. 2 Marshal Brandon is Jing Sui's friend and like-minded companion. He is a bright and iron-hearted soldier. Although he hates himself and despise himself, it is never possible to play tricks on the wicked man behind his back.

Strictly speaking, Brandon can't be described as a villain. He just opposes Jing Sui in the emotional drama, because he has a crush on Ning Yu and is a proper affectionate male second, but even if he is later loved by Hengdao, there is no He Jing Sui turned to his face.

The third party speaker, Yan Yan, is only an ordinary member at this moment. He will later be a friend of Ning Yu in the book. This man's heart is deep and righteous, which makes people a little confused. Although he later betrayed himself for Ning Yu, the incident fell into his own expectations.

Only the villain No. 1 Grand Duke of Carlos, on the surface is a smiling old fox. In fact, he did whatever he could to achieve his purpose. Anyone in his eyes was just a chess piece. He didn't know how to die if he got along with him accidentally. He did not provoke him at all in the last life, and was used by him somehow, almost losing his life.

I don't know what kind of wind was rushed over this time to send such a heavy gift. The last time did not happen.

Ji Ling wondered anxiously about what went wrong, which led to deviations in the plot. At this time, the long-lost system was finally overdue.

Ji Ling said quietly: [You don't have to come back if you come back later. ]

System: [Why? ]

Ji Ling: [because at that time I was estimated to have been killed and restored to life :)]

system:[...]

Ji Ling: [So, did you find out what went wrong? ]

The system is a bit guilty: [Sorry, because the world has crashed once, the database has failed, and the cause of Carlos's anomaly cannot be determined for the time being. ]

He thought about it and added: [It may happen that after the collapse of the world, something unexpected that we didn't expect has produced the butterfly effect. But it doesn't matter, your task is still the same, you can go back as long as you can complete the task. ]

Really, why do I think this answer is perfunctory? Who knows how much the story has changed? Can I still complete the task?

However, even the system did not know the reason, and Ji Ling had no choice but to hope that the plot had not changed much. Fortunately, he was still familiar with Carlos, and he was not completely defenseless.

Carlos did not agree with Jing Sui's politics, and he had always been ambitious to replace Jing Sui's status. He did everything for a purpose, and it was impossible to attend his own adulthood ceremony. Ji Ting is here.

The Ji family is a well-established aristocrat with deep roots. It also has a lot of right to speak among the imperial aristocracy and belongs to the representatives of the neutrals. Carlos wants to win over the Ji family. It is understandable. In short, this complicated power struggle is left to his father Ji Ting to deal with.

It's better to focus on completing the task yourself.

As long as Jing Sui can be good with Ning Yu, he can go home!

Ji Ling stayed in the banquet hall for a while, so tired of coping, he made excuses to go out and breathe.

Because he had already done a mission once, Ji Ling was as familiar with this place as his own home. The garden behind the banquet hall had a good view. Ji Ling slipped out and climbed a tree, lying on the trunk and looking up. The night sky is surrounded by the shining stars of the Emperor Star, and the nine stars exude a colorful and beautiful luster, like colorful gemstones hanging from the sky.

Those are the nine satellites of Emperor Star, each of which has the size of a small planet. Although it is so beautiful and harmless from here, it is actually a war weapon that can destroy the world, enough to resist any attack and turn all enemies. For the dust. It is an important deterrent to protect the security of the capital Emperor Star and maintain empire rule.

Ji Ling looked at the sky blindly. The contradiction between Carlos and Jingsui has a long history, and it has to start from the setting of this book.

The world view of this book is very large. It is said that after the sixth scientific and technological revolution, the earth 's human race officially entered the space field and entered the stage of comprehensive evolution. After thousands of years of development and expansion, it has now become a universe overlord. The intelligent life led by mankind has created a huge state power, commanding countless star domains, which is today's empire.

In the face of all kinds of intelligent life and powerful species in the universe, the reason why human beings have a foothold and have the status they have today is inseparable from a great invention.

That is-genetic evolution agents.

Facing the vast universe, human beings are not willing to be so small. Although they can use external forces, their fragility still makes it difficult for them to survive in the universe, they cannot cope with various harsh living environments, and they are uncomfortable in front of other species. hit.

Therefore, human beings have never given up the potential to develop themselves.

After countless experiments and sacrifices, humans finally found a special substance in the universe thousands of years ago. The gene evolution agent finally synthesized using this substance can be universally applicable to more than 99.99% of humans, and has completely opened up humans since then. The door to evolution.

Through continuous, generation-by-generation evolution, reproduction, and fusion, today's human beings are no longer as they were.

Although its appearance does not seem to be different from the previous ones, its powerful physique and super mental strength are completely different from before ... It is almost a completely new species compared to when it was on the earth.

But has high civilization and evolution eliminated conflicts and inequality between humans? No.

On the contrary, this evolution has increased the class gaps and contradictions among human beings.

The original first-generation gene evolution agent, because it is difficult to make expensive, although it is generally applicable to all human beings, its scarce output can only supply a very small number of people. These human beings have gained stronger power through evolution. It is a higher status, and the children born of intermarriage between them are inherently stronger than ordinary humans ... Gradually a higher evolutionary class was born, which is also the embryonic form of the imperial nobility today.

The first-generation evolutionists gradually realized the huge benefits, and began to control the production and use of genetic evolution agents, and firmly controlled the most advanced science and technology, and gradually controlled the destiny of human beings.

The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.

After thousands of years of development, the evolutionary class has gradually built up a brand new higher race with a steady stream of cosmic resources, which is completely different from ordinary human beings, which is today's 'empire nobility'.

There is no longer a threat to the existence of the empire in the universe. In order to maintain their absolute dominance, the nobles have completely monopolized the development and use of genetic evolution agents. Even the lowest level evolution agents, ordinary civilians need to pay sky-high fees. As for the purchase, as for the high-level evolutionary agents, the sale to civilians was completely banned.

Nobles have evolved themselves and only intermarried between the same class. Although the stronger the evolution, the more difficult it is for humans to give birth to their offspring, they are not willing to marry with civilians, thinking that this will tarnish the genes of future generations.

Discrimination and inequality, once hidden under false fairness, have gradually exposed its cruel side.

According to Ji Ling, the aristocrats who live in the emperor star today are almost equivalent to the immortals living in the immortal world. According to this development, thousands or thousands of years later, they should not be called empire aristocracy, but Imperial Protoss!

Ji Ling felt that he could write a dissertation, and it was called "On the Birth of the Protoss of the Universe".

In the current empire, ordinary civilians are difficult to get to the sky if they want to evolve. If it weren't for rich overnight, it would be only God's will to change their destiny.

Under peace, the undercurrent is actually surging. The monopoly of gene evolutionary agents and their privileges has gradually caused dissatisfaction among the people. Some people are unwilling to submit to the increasingly corrupt and nobles. They have even produced rebels to challenge the rule of the empire. It is only that the number of rebels is not large under the powerful repression of the empire and the control of public opinion.

Ji Ling can also understand that for most of the imperial people, there is a peaceful and comfortable life, and even if there is some inequality in the society, no one is willing to give up their lives to fight against the powerful empire. Throughout the history of the revolution, all of them were forced to fight against the desperation. For the current people of the Empire, it is far from reaching this point. Even in the society where Ji Ling is located, wealth is also monopolized by a few people. In the hands, it is just that inequality is not so obvious.

However, as an emperor of the empire, Jing Sui not only saw the flourishing surface of the empire today, but also saw the huge hidden dangers in it. Although the rebels today seem to be weak, the birth of the rebels is a sign of star fire. If it is not controlled, it will eventually become a source of ravages.

The imperial powers have too much power, and the unchecked high power will inevitably result in corruption. They ignore human life, high above them, and even ordinary people are inferior races in their eyes. They take the slavery as a matter of course and expose it. The brightly-lit coats are dark and ugly truths, and for any dare to disobey their existence, they are blindly suppressed by force.

Resistance is bound to be caused by wanton suppression.

Once fermented in this way, sooner or later, a revolution will break out, and Jing Sui does not want to see this day happen, and does not want to see the foundation of the country be shaken ... even if God will fall, let alone a group of decaying noble? How many higher civilizations have fallen?

No one can survive forever.

In order to change this situation, Jing Sui advocates lowering the price of genetic evolution agents, further increasing the rights of civilians, and gradually weakening the gap between nobles and civilians, hoping to build a more united and powerful empire by increasing the per capita strength of the entire country. . He believes that the strength of a country cannot be achieved by relying on only a few people. The majority of ordinary civilians is a force to be reckoned with.

But Jing Sui's behavior violated the interests of most of the nobles. They were unwilling to give up the rights in their hands, giving those pariahs the opportunity to sit with them on an equal footing, or even step on their heads.

The dignitaries who opposed Jing Sui looked at the head of the Grand Duke of Carlos and opposed Jing Sui everywhere in their political opinions.

Carlos believes that there is no need to change the status quo, all of which are the result of survival of the fittest in the natural world, and lower humans are not worthy of being equal to them.

In their eyes, the ordinary people are like ants on the ground, who have clearly given alms to their peaceful and generous lives, protecting them from being violated by foreigners, but still screaming unsatisfactorily for more, without gratitude, this is human The irresistible greed in nature should not be condoned.

Carlos advocated blood-smelling suppression of the Resistance to maintain the absolute dominance of the empire, and there was no need to compromise with some insatiable ants.

The two sides fought a book for this.

Ji Ling feels that this is not something he can blend in, let alone that he doesn't have such a deep sense of substitution for this world. He only cares about how to play his role and complete the task to go home.

No matter how large and real this world is, it is not his original world, not the place where he wants to stay.

Thinking of this he sighed rarely, with his hands resting behind his head, staring at the starry sky, and suddenly his ears moved. Hearing that someone in the distance was calling his name, it seemed that they were the cricket friends of the original owner.

I have been out for a long time, and it is almost time to go back.

Ji Ling sat up, supported his hands, and jumped sensibly from the tree.

As soon as he landed, he looked up and saw a handsome middle-aged man standing under the tree-in the shadow, smiling at him with a smile, scared to stand on his feet and almost fell to the ground! The result just hit the man's arms.

Carlos looked at the boy who was embracing him, reached out and gently supported his shoulder, his voice low and smiling: "Be careful."

Ji Ling said that this is not scary to you! He told himself to calm down and don't panic! Then he lifted his eyes from Carlos's arms, revealing a naive and unexpected look, and said, "Uncle Carlos, how are you here?"

Carlos stared at the boy's blue eyes, his eyes fell on his vivid and vivid face, and there seemed to be some complex nostalgia in his eyes. For a long while, he said, "I just finished talking with your father, I saw you passing here. you..."

He paused for a moment, his lips twitched slightly with a playful radian, and said with a pampering voice: "I just want to see a little guy and be ready to stay in the tree."

Ji Ling: "..." So you have been watching for a long time?

Fortunately, he didn't have a bad habit of talking to himself. He looked at Carlos's expression of gentle indulgence, only to feel that an inexplicable thrill was rising from the soles of his feet, and his body could not help but stiffen slightly.

Carlos noticed Ji Ling's uneasiness and said apologetically, "Sorry, I scared you?"

Ji Ling bit his lower lip and shook his head. He made more mistakes in front of the old fox.

However, he saw Carlos' eyes suddenly darken, seeming to be deeply restrained, and the hand pressing on his shoulder was slightly harder.

Ji Ling didn't understand Carlos' eyes, but he was inexplicably uneasy, as if he was a prey to be targeted. He blinked uneasily and said, "My friend is calling me ..."

Carlos' expression remained unchanged.

Just when Ji Ling was a little hesitant, Carlos slowly let go of his hand and took a step back gracefully. The dim color that had just flashed in his eyes disappeared, revealing a gentle smile: "Go, don't Keep them waiting. "

Ji Lingru was pardoned, nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, see you, Uncle Carlos."

Said quickly turning to leave, did not dare turn back along the way.

He always felt that if he looked back, he might look at that person ...

It didn't take long for Ji Ling to see Rhodes' slightly rounded face, and he smiled and asked him where he was, surrounded by the familiar hustle and bustle, and finally got Ji Ling out of the suffocating environment just now, first I think this guy with noodles and noodles looks a little cute!

At least Rhodes is better than Carlos.

...

Carlos glanced at the back of Ji Ling's departure and turned to leave the manor.

His butler, Anderson, was already waiting outside. He bowed respectfully and opened the door of the suspended car for him. Anderson hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help curiosity in his heart, and asked, "I have already prepared the gift in advance as instructed. Why would you come here in person? "

The behavior of the Duke of Carlos today was not known in advance, and Anderson was very surprised. He did not understand his intentions ... and someone had previously wanted to buy a blue sea star from the Duke of Carlos. The Duke of Carlos ignored it. Today But unexpectedly gave Ji Ling, and made Anderson puzzled.

Carlos glanced back at him and said lightly, "I have my own arrangements."

Anderson was stunned by this gaze, and quickly bowed his head: "Sorry, I'm troubled."

His Excellency the Duke certainly had his reasons. Since he didn't say that he shouldn't ask questions, Anderson suppressed the curiosity in his heart and closed the door for Carlos respectfully.

Carlos sat in the car with his hands crossed, and his forefinger tapped lightly on top of the silver cane.

Squinting his eyes, what appeared before him was the panic when the boy jumped from the tree and fell into his arms, like an elf falling into the world ... reflected in the clear blue eyes His face seemed to look to the end at a glance.

He was still alive and would call him Uncle Carlos.

No one knows how rippling this uncle Carlos made in his heart at that moment.

The first thing he did after he was born again was to come here, to see for himself, to see if he was still here, carefree and unrestrained alive, not the last scene he saw in the last life-weakness. Lying in the arms of Jing Sui, his **** arm hung down weakly, and gradually lost his final breath, becoming a cold dead body.

Carlos opened his eyes slowly, and his brown pupils were cold and dark.

In my last life, I fought with Jing Sui for a lifetime, but he lost a lot because of the intention, but at that moment, he found that his last regret was not his failure ... but regret to involve the innocent boy in his struggle with Jing Sui Regret to let Ning Yu escape because of his own intention, regret that he did not recognize the boy, and killed him personally.

The boy resolutely stood in front of Jing Sui, and the scene that slowly fell down, like a sharp thorn, easily penetrated into his emotions that discarded all weak, kind, superior, and other low-level races— Impenetrable cold heart.

For the first time he knew what it was like to lose.

This innocent boy who relied on him, who knew he had betrayed and abandoned him, still chose to trust him, and looked at him with that sincere look ...

Is it too simple and stupid?

No, maybe it's just because I believe.

However, he once turned a blind eye to this trust, and even used this trust as a bargaining chip. He pushed him out at will in order to achieve his purpose, making him a victim of his struggle with Jing Sui ... he thought he would not regret it. Because the stupid weak should be abandoned and used, and he has always done so.

But on that cold night, the moment the young man appeared in front of him regardless of his former suspicion, he suddenly realized ... does he really disdain the trust of the young man? no.

He just hadn't seen anything beautiful enough to impress him before that.

After seeing it, I realized how precious it is.

But when he finally understood this, he lost him.

Kill him by mistake.

Carlos's lips were tightly clenched, his whole body meant to kill the cold, his hands slowly tightened.

If it wasn't for Jing Sui, you wouldn't make mistakes again and again, and you might even lose your life in the end.

That man is even more ruthless than you think. He doesn't care about anyone and loves you, and you don't understand it until death. Even if his heart is practiced like that, he is willing to give his life for him.

That man is not worth your love!

But he is back now.

This time he wanted more than just this empire, but also the boy who would simply look at him and smile and call him Uncle Carlos.

This time, he hoped that those flawless eyes would never be covered in dust, the young man's smile could be unfolded to him like this forever, and he could trust him to rely on him again.

The moment he saw Ji Ling again, he had no hesitation about it.

Rebirth is to give him a chance to make up for his regret.

Carlos's eyes slowly deepened.

You are so immaculate and dazzling many times more than the unique blue starfish.

You will be my most beautiful collection.
