Chu Si’s face darkened but quickly returned to normal. He suddenly smiled, and typed on the communicator: Things really are a little boring. I suggest you play with yourself for a while, or with the unremoved controller on your arm.
This was very provocative.
As everyone knew, the people in the Space Prison were humanoid self-propelled missiles, and none of them were easy to control.
Even though the entire prison system hardly had any loopholes that could be exploited, no one could guarantee those missiles would not have a chance to escape prison.
So, while they were in prison, a controller was installed on each of their arms.
It was a hundred times more difficult to remove the controller than to escape the Space Prison.
But just as Chu Si finished typing those heart-wrenching words and was about to send them, the entire communicator screen flickered and went completely blank.
Out of battery!
Before he had replied, this unlucky thing ran out of battery at a critical moment!
Chu Si: “…”
Before, he could still laugh, but now he really couldn’t.
The mop didn’t understand why they suddenly stopped, and he watched blankly as Chu Si tugged at the collar of his shirt with a little irritability, and then suddenly accelerated his pace.
He was tall and had long legs, and except for the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he hardly had any hypoxic reaction, and could shake off the big and small mop in three or two steps.
“Eh?! You…” Mop took a few breaths and tried to catch up, “Why are you suddenly… so anxious?”
Chu Si didn’t answer, just walked faster.
If he did not add a sentence later “Have your legs been sawed?”, Mop would have suspected that Chu Si was trying to ghost them.
The distance of the last 50 meters was really not that long. Chu Si single-handedly doubled the speed of the entire three-person team. When they stood in front of the gate of the front yard of the villa, there were still 22 minutes remaining.
The mop was already half dead.
He panted and slid down against the fence, staring at the door with wide eyes, saying, “God, I just remembered, it’s no use coming, this door… we can’t open this door, we have to scan an iris, I used to… forget it, anyway, we need to scan the iris of that officer.”
Mop sized Chu Si up haphazardly, “You look so young, are you a guard here? Not too much like that either, a secretary then? Whatever the hell, anyway, we probably have to make another trip to drag your officer out of the cryo-capsule—”
Before he could finish, Chu Si was already standing in front of the scanner expressionlessly as he pressed the switch.
Fortunately, the energy system of the villa could still run for a while, as expected. The scanner beeped and swept over Chu Si’s iris.

The mop was unable to close his mouth and hurriedly followed with the small mop.
The door closed automatically behind them, and there was a locking sound, but no more movement.
However, the courtyard was not quiet. There was always a very low hum in the yard, not disturbing but not stopping either.
The sound came from a metal pillar in the corner.
The pillar was about one person high, with a ring of circular holes on the top, emitting a bright blue light. Countless extremely thin metal needles protruded from the holes, like hedgehogs.
It might’ve looked a little funny, but could be called the planet’s greatest invention in a millennium.
Although the above-ground part was only a simple metal column, the underground part was connected to a complex design of a huge pool of material. It could radiate a protective circle, enveloping all objects within range.
It is precisely because of it that the planet was not completely destroyed in the sudden explosion, but split into large and small fragments, scattered into space under the huge impact, just like this black cedar forest and this villa, becoming wanderers in the vast sea of stars.
And there was no knowledge of where it would end.
“Is that the dragon pillar?” Mop looked at the metal pillar with eyes full of awe. “I’ve never seen one in an activated state…”
Maybe it was because the bright blue light was too enchanting, but while he said that, he couldn’t help stretching out his hand, subconsciously wanting to touch it.
Chu Si snorted, “Let’s discuss, stop for a minute and don’t look for death, huh?”
In fact, before the mop even got close to the dragon pillar, he already faintly felt a tearing force. He was so shocked that he took two steps back, and returned to Chu Si in embarrassment.
The villa’s doors were also locked, which was no hindrance to Chu Si: after all, it was his house.
He led the large and a small mop, familiar with the way to the underground storage room.
In order to save energy, they took the stairs.
The storage room was a surprisingly airtight place, and once inside you could smell a mix of electronic instruments, metal, and a full fifty years of dust. Chu Si turned on the smallest of the emergency lights, barely enough for the two to see the outline of the instruments in the room—
Nine cyro-capsules neatly occupied most of the space in the storage room. Of the other three walls, two were cabinets with various things, and one side was a console with several large and small screens attached to it.
“How long will the electricity last in this house?” Mop asked, “Come on, hurry up and get these cyro-capsules started, I’m going to suffocate!”
Perhaps because he saw the hope of living, his tone could be considered brisk.
However, Chu Si bypassed the capsules on the ground, went straight to one of the cabinets, and rummaged through the top row for something.
“What is it? Is there anything else I need to look for to help?” Mop followed suspiciously, and glanced at his watch again.
Chu Si found a metal cube in the fourth cabinet, and without raising his eyelids, said, “The capsule is not urgent. I’ll charge my communicator first.”
“Communicator?” Mop blinked twice before he could react, “Why are you charging your communicator? The capsule needs a communicator to activate?”
Chu Si replied, “No, to text someone back.”
Mop: “…………………………”
He flopped down on his knees to Chu Si, “Can’t you want to live first and then chat?”
Chu Si put the metal block in his hand against the back of the communicator and pressed a button on the block.
With a ding, the communicator vibrated against his fingers, and then the screen lit up and turned back on.
Chu Si then glanced at the mop who was crying on his knees, fished up a wire on the ground and connected it to the jack on the wall.
“Intelligent system on, cryo-capsule operation test restarted, forest outside monitoring detected last time for abnormal shutdown, repositioning for you… positioning completed, monitoring continues.”
Mop froze as he watched a series of electronic instruments reboot and nine cyro-capsules emitted a “buzz” sound, finally running.
“The capsules here are usually used mainly for testing, and are not the same as those opened in the forest.” Chu Si leaned on the edge of the console, one hand propped up on the edge, the other hand quickly tapping the communicator screen.
The message from Sa’e Yang complaining about boredom was still lying in his received channel. Seven minutes had passed.
This time, Chu Si didn’t type anything provocative. In order to save time, he didn’t even type a word, and just clicked a “.” and sent it directly.
In any case, this was at least a reply.
The cyro-capsule opened, and oxygen escaped a little from the dispersion holes in the frame. The large and a small mop wrapped around each other, leaning half-paralyzed on the side of the capsule.
Once it was running properly, the humming of the machine disappeared and the storage room gradually quieted down.
“Whew—” Mop let out a long breath and squinted at Chu Si, “Finally, a reprieve.”
He felt so comfortable that he could hug the capsule and sleep. After another moment, he remembered something and asked, “What message did you just rush to send? We’ve become space dust, and there’s still someone who has the time to send you a message?”
Unbelievable!
Chu Si lifted his eyelids, “A terrorist.”
Mop: “…How scary? Are they so scary that you will be blown up if you don’t reply to their message?”
Chu Si dropped the communicator on the console beside him, “Of course not, he could blow up the planet if he wanted to.”
“????”
Mop pulled at his ears, “I seem to have heard something very extraordinary… you’re joking, right?”
Chu Si had turned his head to look at the screens behind him and did not speak again.
“…” The mop stared at him in horror for a while, and felt that something so amazing could not possibly be said in that tone.
He mulled it over for a moment, and then reassured himself by inhaling oxygen, “It must be a joke.”
The screens on the electronic console were lit up, each piece corresponding to the villa and somewhere outside the cedar forest, rotating on its own according to a certain frequency.
However in the present-day situation, the so-called monitoring would not come in handy for the time being, because on this piece of debris, it was likely that there were only the three of them.
Two of the screens monitored the area at the edge of the fragment. You could see sharp steep cliffs, beyond which was endless space.
A sea of stars was overhead and underfoot.
It was a very strange scene, but Chu Si watched it silently for two seconds, then moved his finger to the power button.
It was a waste of energy to keep such a large console on.
Just when Chu Si was about to press the power button, the system voice suddenly sounded out, “Alert, there is a break-in in monitoring area 2! Alert, there is a break-in in monitoring area 2!”
The second monitoring area was those sharp steep cliffs connected to the sea of stars, the boundary of the fragment.
The mop was startled by the sound and rolled over to sit up, leaning over.
Chu Si frowned, his gaze fixed on the screen. A figure flipped up from the cliff, accurately landing on a black stone.
He was tall and lean, and when he landed, his arms tensed up in a beautiful arc of muscle. The oxygen supply mask he wore on his face covered his features so tightly that Chu Si could only see his sharp jawline when he turned his head.
Mop saw at a glance a black and gold circle hooped on the man’s arm and cried out, “Crap, a man from the Space Prison!”
The man who stood on the black stone turned his head and swept his gaze around, then suddenly stopped as he faced the monitoring screen.
He rolled his shoulders and walked towards the screen.
When he got as close as he could get, he raised his hand and lifted off his mask, revealing an exceedingly handsome face. The color of his irises was very light, and when he squinted, he seemed extremely arrogant, but in the blink of an eye it was washed away by a smirk at the corner of his mouth.
The person wiped the camera with his thumb, smiled condescendingly, and said, “My dear, I never received a reply, so I came to find you.”
Talk about a dramatic entry😶🌫️
Call him “my dear” back and whole world will be at your feet!
