The system was silent for a while and said: [I didn’t expect this situation. ]
Ji Ling: [He shouldn’t be here at all. Now that the plot has changed so much, you didn’t expect it? ]
The system justifies the loss: [In this way, I’ll go check what’s going on, you should stabilize him first. ]
Ji Ling: […]
Ji Ling knew that the system was unreliable, so now he can only adapt accordingly. He pretended to naturally pull his hand back from Carlos’s, and quietly put his back behind him, showing an uneasy expression, and said uneasily, “Carlos Uncle, this gift is too expensive for me to accept.”
Ji Ting also recovered from the shock just now, and said solemnly: “I accept your kindness on behalf of the dog, but please take it back.”
Carlos’s deep brown pupils had a faint smile, his tone was soothing but with unquestionable persistence, he said indifferently: “Today is Xiaoling’s in-law ceremony, I am also his elder, give him a mere one. What is a planet?”
This is a mere planet? Not those junk stars that don’t even have names.
Ji Ting frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: “There are some juniors here, why don’t we go in and talk?”
Ji Ting wasn’t sure about Carlos’s intentions. He didn’t understand why he suddenly showed his affection to Ji Ling with great fanfare. Did he want to bribe him? Carlos insisted like this, but it was not good for him to continue to refuse in the public, so as not to be seen as a joke, it would be bad if it caused some unnecessary rumors, so he intentionally invited Carlos to speak alone.
Carlos smiled and nodded. After giving Ji Ling a deep look, he turned and went in with Ji Ting.
When Ji Ling saw him leave, he found a thin layer of sweat on his vest. The appearance of Carlos just now caught him off guard.
Speaking of several main characters in the book, he is most vigilant about Carlos. Don’t look at this man’s every move is elegant and polite, he seems to be a flawless noble noble, but he is the most evil of all. Spicy, the typical smile hides a knife and is cold-blooded and black-bellied.
As the emperor of the empire, the male protagonist Jing Sui, although arrogant and indifferent, at most just ignores and disdains himself. No matter how he jumps up and down, he has no murderous intention, and he is too lazy to care about himself.
Although the protagonist Shou Ning Yu has been embarrassed and humiliated by himself several times, he is a noble and self-improving white lotus character, a straightforward and upright gentleman. Ji Ling is not worried that he will retaliate against him, and he feels sorry for bullying him.
The villain’s second marshal, Brandon, is Jing Sui’s friend and like-minded companion. He is an upright and iron-blooded soldier. No matter how much he hates and despises himself, he will never play tricks behind his back.
Strictly speaking, Brandon can’t be said to be the villain. He is only a little bit antagonistic to Jing Sui in the emotional drama, because he has a crush on Ning Yu and is a proper and affectionate male 2, but even if he is later robbed of love, He didn’t turn his face with Jing Sui.
The villain No. 3 Speaker Wen Yan is just an ordinary member of parliament at the moment, and will be Ning Yu’s friend later in the book. This person is deeply thoughtful and both righteous and evil, making people a little unpredictable. Although he also betrayed himself for Ning Yu later, that incident fell within his expectations.
Only the villain, Grand Duke Carlos, is a smiling old fox on the surface, but in fact he will do anything to achieve his goals. In his eyes, anyone is just a pawn. In the last life, he didn’t provoke him at all, and he used it inexplicably once, and almost lost his life.
I don’t know why I ran over to give such a heavy gift this time. It didn’t happen last time.
Ji Ling was worried about what went wrong, causing the plot to go wrong. At this time, the long-lost system finally arrived late.
Ji Ling said quietly: [If you come back later, you don’t have to come back. ]
System: [Why? ]
Ji Ling: [Because at that time it was estimated that I had been killed and recovered:)]
System: […]
Ji Ling: [So, have you found out what went wrong? ]
The system is rarely a little guilty: [Sorry, because the world collapsed once and the database failed, the cause of Carlos’ abnormality cannot be determined for the time being. ]
He thought about it and added: [It is possible that after the collapse of the world, some unexpected changes occurred that we did not expect, so that a butterfly effect occurred. But it doesn’t matter, your mission remains the same, as long as you can complete the mission, you can go back. ]
Yes, why do I find this answer perfunctory? Who knows how much the plot has changed? Can I still complete the task?
But even the system didn’t know the reason, so Ji Ling had no choice. He could only hope that the plot didn’t change much. Fortunately, he was familiar with Carlos, so he wasn’t completely defenseless.
Carlos disagreed with Jing Sui Zheng, and he has always been ambitious to replace Jing Sui’s position. He has a purpose in everything he does, and it is impossible to specially attend his coming-of-age ceremony. His father Ji Ting came.
The Ji family is an old-fashioned aristocrat with a strong foundation, and also has a lot of voice among the imperial aristocracy, and belongs to the representative of the neutral faction. It is understandable that Carlos wants to win over the Ji family. In short, this kind of complicated power struggle is left to his father Ji Ting to deal with.
It is better to focus on completing the task yourself.
As long as Jing Sui can be with Ning Yu, he will be able to go home!
Ji Ling stayed in the banquet hall for a while, and was a little tired of dealing with it, so he made an excuse to go out to breathe.
Because he had already done a mission once, Ji Ling was as familiar with this place as he was with his own home. The garden behind the banquet hall had a very nice view. Ji Ling slipped out and climbed a tree, lying comfortably on the tree trunk, looking up He looked at the shining stars surrounding the Emperor Star in the night sky. The nine stars exuded colorful and beautiful luster, like colorful gems hanging in the sky.
That is Emperor Star’s nine artificial satellites, each of which is the size of a small planet. Although it looks so beautiful and harmless from here, it is actually a weapon of war that can destroy the sky and destroy the earth, enough to resist any attack. All enemies turned to dust. It is an important deterrent to protect the safety of the capital Emperor Star and maintain the imperial rule.
Ji Ling looked at the sky absentmindedly. The conflict between Carlos and Jing Sui has a long history, and the specifics have to start from the setting of this book.
The world view of this book is very huge. It is said that after the sixth scientific and technological revolution, human beings on earth have officially set foot in the space field and entered a stage of comprehensive evolution. After thousands of years of development and expansion, they have now completely become the overlords of the universe. Intelligent beings headed by humans have built a huge national regime, commanding countless star fields, 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 can stand firm and have today’s status is inseparable from a great invention.
That is–Gene Evolution Agent.
Faced with the vast universe, human beings are unwilling to be so small all the time. Although they can use external forces, their own fragility still makes it difficult for them to survive in the universe, unable to cope with various harsh living environments, and also in front of other species. Appears vulnerable.
So human beings have never given up on developing their potential.
After countless experiments and sacrifices, human beings finally discovered a special substance in the universe thousands of years ago. The gene evolution agent synthesized by using this substance can be universally applied to more than 99.99% of human beings. opened the door to human evolution.
Through continuous, generational evolution, reproduction, and fusion, today’s human beings are no longer what they used to be.
Although the appearance is not much different from before, its powerful physique and super mental power are completely different from before… Compared with the time on earth, it is almost a completely new species.
But has a high degree of civilization and evolution eliminated the contradictions and inequalities among humans? no.
On the contrary, this evolution has made the class gap and contradiction between human beings larger and larger.
The first generation of genetic evolution agent, because it is difficult to make and expensive, although it is generally applicable to all human beings, its scarce production can only supply a very small number of people. These human beings have acquired stronger strength and stronger strength through evolution. It brought a higher status, and the children born from their intermarriage were born with stronger physiques than ordinary humans… Gradually, a higher evolutionary class was born, which is also the prototype of today’s imperial aristocracy.
The first generation of evolutionary people gradually realized the huge benefits, and began to control the manufacture and use of genetic evolution agents, and firmly controlled the top science and technology, and controlled the fate of mankind step by step.
The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.
Through 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 separate from ordinary humans, which is today’s ‘imperial nobles’.
Nowadays, there is no existence in the universe that can threaten the empire. In order to maintain their absolute dominance, the nobles completely monopolize the development and use of genetic evolution agents. Even for the lowest-level evolution agents, ordinary civilians have to pay sky-high prices. It can only be purchased at a cost. As for high-level evolution agents, it is completely prohibited to sell them to civilians.
Aristocrats continue to evolve themselves and only intermarry between members of the same class. Although it is more difficult for the more powerful evolutionary humans to produce offspring, they are not willing to intermarry with commoners, believing that this will taint the genes of their offspring.
The discrimination and inequality that were once hidden under hypocrisy and fairness have gradually revealed their cruel and cruel side.
In Ji Ling’s view, the nobles living in the emperor star today are almost equivalent to the immortals living in the immortal world. According to this development, they should not be called imperial nobles in thousands of years or ten thousand years. , but the Imperial Protoss!
Ji Ling felt that he could write a dissertation called “On the Birth of the Protoss in the Universe”.
In the current empire, it is difficult for ordinary civilians to achieve evolution. If they don’t get rich overnight, the only thing that can change their fate is God’s will.
Under peace, the undercurrent is turbulent. The monopoly of the elites on the genetic evolution agent and their privileges have gradually caused dissatisfaction among the people. Some people are unwilling to submit to the increasingly corrupt and depraved aristocracy, and even created a rebel army to challenge the empire. However, under the strong military repression of the empire and the control of public opinion, the number of rebels was not large.
Ji Ling can also understand that for most of the people of the empire, they have a peaceful and comfortable life. 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 history, revolutions have all been driven to a desperate situation to rise up and resist. For the people of the empire today, it is far from reaching this point. Even in Ji Ling’s society, wealth is also monopolized by a few people. In the hands, it’s just that the inequality is not so obvious.
However, as the emperor of the empire, Jing Sui saw not only the prosperous surface of the empire, but also the huge hidden dangers in it. Although today’s rebels seem to be weak, the birth of the rebels shows the stars The fire, if not controlled, will eventually become a prairie prairie.
The imperial dignitaries have too much power, and the excessive power that is not checked and balanced will inevitably bring corruption and degeneration. They ignore human life and stand above the ground, and even ordinary people are inferior races in their eyes, and take it for granted to enslave the untouchables , unveiling the bright and bright coat, which is the dark and ugly truth, and blindly suppresses any existence that dares to disobey them.
The inevitable result of wanton suppression is resistance.
Once the fermentation goes on like this, a revolution will break out sooner or later, and Jing Sui does not want to see this day happen, and does not want to see the foundation of the country shaken… Even gods will fall one day, not to mention only A bunch of rotten nobles? How many higher civilizations have fallen?
No one can last forever.
In order to change this status quo, Jing Sui advocated lowering the price of genetic evolution agents, further improving the rights of the commoners, and gradually weakening the gap between the nobles and commoners, hoping to create a more united country by increasing the per capita strength of the entire country mighty empire. He believes that it is not feasible for a country to rely only on a few people for its strength, and ordinary civilians, who account for the vast majority, are a force to be reckoned with.
However, Jing Sui’s actions violated the interests of most powerful people. They were unwilling to give up their rights, so that those pariahs had the opportunity to be equal to them, or even step on their heads.
The dignitaries who oppose Jing Sui follow the lead of Grand Duke Carlos and oppose Jing Sui everywhere in their political views.
Carlos believes that there is no need to change the status quo, all of which are the result of the survival of the fittest in nature, and lower human beings do not deserve to be equal to them.
In their eyes, those ordinary people are like ants on the ground. They have given them alms to live a peaceful and prosperous life to protect them from being invaded by foreigners, but they are still dissatisfied and clamoring for more, without any gratitude. This is the unquenchable greed in human nature and should not be condoned.
Carlos advocates a **** repression of the rebels in order to maintain the absolute dominance of the empire, without the need to compromise with some insatiable ants.
The two sides fought a book about it.
Ji Ling thinks this is something that he can’t be involved with as a dummy, not to mention that he doesn’t have such a deep sense of substitution for this world, he only cares about how to play his role well, complete the task and go home .
No matter how huge and real this world is, it is not his original world, not the place he wants to stay.
Thinking of this, he let out a rare sigh, put his hands behind his head and stared at the starry sky in a daze. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he heard someone calling his name in the distance, which seemed to be the original owner’s playful friends.
I’ve been out long enough, it’s almost time to go back.
Ji Ling sat up, propped up his hands, and jumped down from the tree with agile movements.
As soon as I landed, I looked up and saw a graceful and handsome middle-aged man standing under the tree – in the shadow, staring at him with a smile. The result happened to crash into the man’s arms.
Carlos looked at the boy who was ‘giving him a hug’, reached out and gently supported his shoulder, with a low voice and a smile: “Be careful.”
Ji Ling thought to himself that you weren’t scared! He told himself to keep calm and not panic! Then he raised his eyes from Carlos’ arms, showing an innocent and unexpected look, and said, “Uncle Carlos, why are you here?”
Carlos stared at the boy’s blue eyes, his eyes fell on his vivid face, and there seemed to be some kind of complicated nostalgia in his eyes. After a while, he said: “I just finished talking with your father, passing by. I see you here…”
He paused for a while, the corners of his lips raised a playful arc, and said in a loving tone, “I just want to see a certain little guy, how long is he going to stay in the tree.”
Ji Ling: “…” So you’ve been watching it for a long time?
Fortunately, he doesn’t have the bad habit of talking to himself alone. Looking at Carlos’s gentle and indulgent expression, he only felt an inexplicable sense of horror rising from the bottom of his feet, and his body could not help but stiffen slightly.
Carlos noticed Ji Ling’s unease and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I scared you?”
Ji Ling bit her lower lip and shook her head, saying more and more mistakes in front of this old fox, let’s just keep the same.
However, he saw that Carlos’ eyes suddenly darkened, as if he was deeply repressing and restraining something, and the hand on his shoulder was also slightly harder.
Ji Ling couldn’t understand Carlos’ eyes, but he was inexplicably uneasy. As if he was being targeted, he blinked his eyes uneasy and said, “My friend is calling me…”
Carlos doesn’t change his expression.
Just when Ji Ling was a little nervous, Carlos slowly let go of his hand and took a step back gracefully, the flash of darkness in his eyes just now disappeared, revealing a gentle smile: “Go. Well, don’t keep them waiting.”
Ji Ling was amnesty, nodded and said, “Then I’ll go first, see you by Uncle Carlos.”
Speaking quickly, she turned and left, not daring to look back all the way.
He always felt that if he turned his head, he might catch the eyes of that person…
It didn’t take long for Ji Ling to see Rhodes’ slightly round face, and asked him with a smile where he went. Surrounded by the familiar noise, Ji Ling finally got rid of the suffocating environment just now. , for the first time, I think this guy with oily powder noodles looks a little cute!
At least Rhodes can handle it much better than Carlos.
………………
Carlos glanced at Ji Ling’s leaving back, turned and left the manor.
His housekeeper Anderson was already waiting outside, and he bowed respectfully and opened the door of the hover car for him. Anderson hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help his curiosity, and asked, “I have already prepared the congratulatory gift in advance as instructed. Come here, why do you want to come here in person?”
No one knew about Duke Carlos’ behavior today, which surprised Anderson and didn’t understand his intentions… And before, someone wanted to buy a blue starfish from Duke Carlos, but Duke Carlos would not accept it. I ignored it, but it was unexpectedly given to Ji Ling today, which made Anderson even more puzzled.
Carlos looked back at him and said lightly: “I have my own arrangements.”
Anderson’s heart froze at the sight, and he quickly lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, I’m busy.”
The Duke must have his reasons for doing this. Since he didn’t say that he shouldn’t ask, Anderson suppressed his curiosity and respectfully closed the car door for Carlos.
Carlos sat in the car, clasped his hands, and tapped his index finger on the tip of the silver cane.
Close your eyes, and what emerges in front of you is the panicked scene when the boy jumped from the tree and fell into his arms, like an elf falling into the mortal world… In those clear water blue eyes , reflecting his own face, as if you can look to the end at a glance.
He’s alive and will call him Uncle Carlos.
No one knows how the sound of “Uncle Carlos” caused ripples in his heart at that moment.
The first thing he did after he was reborn was to come here, just to see him with his own eyes to see if he was still here, carefree and unfettered, not the last scene he saw in his last life —— Lying weakly in Jing Sui’s arms, he weakly lowered his blood-stained arms, gradually lost his last breath, and became a cold and dead corpse.
Carlos slowly opened his eyes, his brown pupils were icy cold.
In the last life, he fought with Jing Sui all his life, but he fell short in the end because of carelessness. But at that moment, he realized that the thing he regretted the most was not his failure… but the regret of involving an innocent teenager in him and Jing Sui He regretted letting Ning Yu run away because of his carelessness, regretting that he didn’t recognize the young man and killed him with his own hands.
The scene of the young man standing in front of Jing Sui resolutely and slowly falling down is like a sharp thorn, easily piercing his emotions that have abandoned all the cowardly, kind, soft and other inferior races of – the indestructible icy heart.
For the first time, he knew what it was like to lose.
This naive, innocent boy who relies on him, this boy who knows that he has betrayed and abandoned him, but still chooses to trust him and looks at him with those pure eyes…
Is it too simple and stupid?
No, maybe just because I believe, care.
But he once turned a blind eye to this trust, and even used this trust as a bargaining chip. In order to achieve his own goals, he pushed him out at will, making him a victim of his struggle with Jing Sui… He thought he would not Will 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 past suspicions, he suddenly realized… Did he really disdain the young man’s trust? no.
He just hadn’t seen anything beautiful enough to impress him before.
After seeing it, I realized how precious it is.
But when he finally understood this, he lost him.
Murdered him by mistake.
Carlos pursed his thin lips tightly, his body was full of chills and coldness, and his hands were slowly tightened.
If it wasn’t for Jing Sui, you wouldn’t make mistakes again and again, and even lose your life for him.
That man is more ruthless than you think, he doesn’t care about anyone, and he doesn’t love you, and you don’t understand this until death, even if your heart is violated like that, you are willing to pay for him life.
That man doesn’t deserve your love at all!
But he’s back now.
This time he wanted not only the empire, but also the boy who would simply look at him and call him Uncle Carlos with a smile.
This time, he hopes that those flawless eyes will never be covered with dust, that the young man’s smile can always be extended to him like this, and that he can trust him and rely on him again without any scruples.
The moment he saw Ji Ling again, he no longer hesitated.
Rebirth is to give him a chance to make up for his regrets.
Carlos’s eyes gradually deepened.
You are so beautiful and flawless, countless times brighter than the unique blue starfish.
You will be my most beautiful treasure.
