Chapter 671 Husband
Chapter 671 Husband
"You're the guy in the painting outside!"
Lu Chihuan blurted out this sentence without much thought.
He carefully looked at the robed man in front of him, trying to see something more from him. He tapped his chin lightly with his bony fingers, and then spoke:
"That is to say——"
"You are the owner of this palace. If I am not mistaken, the man sitting next to you in the painting, wearing the same silver ring as you, should be your husband."
The hooded man stiffened.
It was as if she was choked by the two rather straightforward words "husband".
Originally he didn't intend to admit it, but after looking into Lu Chihuan's dark and stubborn eyes, he thought that he probably couldn't hide this matter, so he answered rather stiffly.
"Not the husband."
"I am his husband."
These words sounded like he was trying to prove his status in the family, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
"Ok."
Lu Chihuan looked at the other person sympathetically, but did not refute any unpleasant words. However, the words "as long as you are happy" seemed to be written all over his fair and beautiful face.
"What about your wife?"
He readily changed his address.
At this moment, she tilted her head and looked around. Her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes, "Where did he go? Why is he not here?"
Judging from the slightly intimate sitting posture of the two people in the oil painting, their relationship should be quite good.
It stands to reason.
They should always stick together.
The man in the burqa was so angry at the expression on Lu Chihuan's face that he took a deep breath.
However, after hearing these words, he became completely quiet. He was like a lake without any ripples, as calm as dead water, and his voice was still low and hoarse.
"It's not good for you to know too much."
Lu Chihuan frowned when he heard that. He didn't like the other party's cryptic attitude. He was planning to say something else, but he saw the man in the robe suddenly made a move and slapped him on the chest.
"Let's go back."
"This is not a place for you to stay for long."
Lu Chihuan had unknowingly been bewitched by the gentle attitude of the robed man in front of him.
Therefore, he never expected that the other party would suddenly attack, and now he was caught off guard and hit by a palm, and he suddenly fell backwards.
His eyes widened in confusion.
Before he understood what the two sentences meant, he saw the space behind him seemed to be distorted. After a sharp "sizzling" sound, a large black hole suddenly formed.
Because it forms too quickly.
So much so that Lu Chihuan didn't have time to make any other reactions.
The whole person fell in.
"you……"
A strong feeling of weightlessness came over him, and he inevitably felt a little nervous and panicked. He stretched out his hand towards the cave entrance, trying to grab something.
However, the entrance of the cave was getting smaller and smaller.
He saw the hooded man standing in front of the black hole, staring at him with complicated eyes for a long while.
The thin, red, and soft lips pursed tightly, and then she spoke in a light tone, "Don't be nervous."
"It will take you back to the base of the Ghost Pirates. You will be reunited with your family and friends soon, so don't be afraid."
The voice sounded like an elder patiently admonishing a disobedient younger generation.
Lu Chihuan was stunned.
He felt a little strange.
Before he could figure out what this strange feeling was, the ever-shrinking hole disappeared. The darkness engulfed him and made it almost impossible for him to see his surroundings.
I could only feel myself sinking.
sink.
When the man in the robe saw Lu Chihuan disappear in the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. He lowered his head and gently stroked the crystal coffin with his slightly pale hand. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
He didn't know who he was talking to.
It seemed more like he was talking to himself, and his voice was very soft.
"Ever since I made a deal with that person and agreed to come to this branch world, I knew that I would meet him one day... But why didn't I notice before... that he was so irritable at this time."
Speaking of it.
His gaze slid across the faces of the other people in the crystal coffin one by one, with a hint of loneliness and melancholy in his eyes.
"Wait a minute."
"We will be able to meet again soon. I hope you won't blame me for being too slow..."
Talking and talking.
He seemed to feel a little tired.
Now he walked to the crystal coffin and sat down, lying on it with a quite relaxed look. When his cheek touched the coffin lid, he not only did not feel cold, but also felt somewhat relieved.
Followed by.
The robed man unconsciously rubbed his cheek against the coffin lid a few times. His lips turned slightly pale, and he looked like a homeless animal. He muttered:
"Wait for me."
"As long as the mission is completed, we can meet again, so wait for me..."
The huge silver-white palace was empty, with only the low and hoarse voice of the man in robe echoing, which sounded particularly lonely.
.
And at the same time.
Lu Minghe and a group of elite members of the Ghost Pirates were also teleported back to the base.
They were still not used to long-distance teleportation, so when their feet finally touched the ground, almost every one of them felt dizzy and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Some people who had more severe reactions just went to a corner to vomit.
Because Lu Minghe and his men have lost signal and their whereabouts are unknown, and he is also really worried about Lu Chihuan's safety.
Therefore, Chihu has been monitoring the situation on the wormhole in the control room of the base day and night in the past few days. He basically has not had a good sleep, and his eyes are full of red bloodshot.
Now he yawned.
My eyelids couldn't stop fighting, so I had to drink a sip of bitter coffee to refresh myself.
But before he could swallow the coffee, he saw the console suddenly flash a dazzling and particularly conspicuous red light.
The ghost's erratic voice rang out, "The latest situation."
"The wormhole disappeared."
As it spoke, it uploaded several photos it had observed to the light screen.
All that was left where the wormhole originally appeared was a vast universe and a beautiful sea of stars, as if the wormhole had never appeared and everything was just a brief illusion to them.
Chi Hu's eyes widened.
I was so excited that I coughed a few times unconsciously.
It took a long while to stop.
He pulled out some napkins and wiped the coffee stains on his chin.
He said helplessly, "Ghost, can you please not talk about such important things when I'm drinking in the future?"
"You almost choked me to death just now."
but.
Since the wormhole disappears.
Then the risks that the Ghost Star Pirates' jurisdiction will face will be eliminated.
This was a huge happy event for the Ghost Pirates, so Chi Hu didn't bother with the Ghosts anymore. Instead, he showed an excited smile on his face.
He stretched out his right hand and pounded the table as well. "The leader's plan must have succeeded. Logically, they should have used the teleportation device to return by now. Why haven't we seen them yet?"
"Tsk."
"When it comes to teleporters, I always feel like I'm forgetting something."
“I just can’t remember it no matter how hard I try.”
Chi Hu muttered to himself.
After he chewed the word "teleportation device" over and over in his mouth several times, something flashed through his mind like lightning.
So much so that he sat up straight in an instant.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his face turned extremely pale. "I forgot to let the new leader bring the teleportation device into the wormhole... The base was too chaotic at the time, and I was so busy that I didn't even think of this matter..."
"It's over!"
"It's really over this time!"
Without a teleportation device, how would the new leader escape from the wormhole?
Today the wormhole has disappeared.
Even if they wanted to rush over to rescue the person, it was too late.
Chi Hu banged his head against the table of the console and suddenly felt extremely guilty, as if countless small bugs were gnawing at his heart, making him feel indescribably uncomfortable.
"How could I be so stupid as to forget such an important thing..."
Lu Chihuan helped them solve the problem of the king insect that invaded the Ghost Star Pirates.
Moreover, this trip to the wormhole was to rescue the former leader and elite members of their Ghost Pirates, who had helped them selflessly, but now they were in danger because of his negligence. How could he not feel guilty?
"There's movement."
The ghost didn't seem to have thought of this either, so it was silent for a moment, but soon it seemed to sense some subtle fluctuations, so it continued in that gloomy voice:
"Something has arrived outside the base."
talking.
It called up the cameras installed outside the Ghost Pirates' base, and soon the surveillance footage appeared on the light screen in front of it.
Chi Hu heard it.
Worried that some Zerg had escaped and were about to attack, he quickly looked up.
After seeing the picture clearly, the corners of his lips twitched unconsciously, and his originally stiff body relaxed a little, and then he revealed a smile of relief and surprise.
"Come back."
"It's good to be back."
Without waiting for Ghost to say anything else, he quickly stood up and ran out of the base of the Ghost Pirates, seeming to be extremely anxious.
Therefore.
As soon as the elite members of the Ghost Pirates arrived outside the base, they saw Chi Hu rushing over, and their faces lit up with joy.
The fatigue and fear accumulated in the wormhole over the past few days dissipated in an instant, leaving only excitement and excitement.
"Deputy Chief!"
"We're back."
Chi Hu walked quickly to them and patted their shoulders, and then couldn't wait to share with them the good news that the wormhole had disappeared, "The wormhole has disappeared, you did a good job!"
The pirates were delighted.
At this moment, everyone was talking back and forth, and it seemed that they had not expected the plan to go so smoothly. The leading pirate was not greedy for credit, and shook his head before explaining:
“We didn’t really do anything.”
"All this is thanks to the new leader, who has made the greatest contribution."
Actually.
Chi Hu had been looking for Lu Chihuan for a long time. Now he looked around the team, not only did he not see Lu Chihuan, but he also saw Lu Minghe who was unconscious.
All of a sudden.
He had a bad feeling in his heart again.
He swallowed.
Now I forced myself to calm down and ask for details.
But even Chi Hu himself didn't notice that his voice was actually trembling, "Where is the new leader? Didn't he come out with you? Could something have happened..."
"Also, why is the former leader unconscious now? Did someone hurt him on purpose?"
Suddenly.
The pirates who were talking suddenly shut up. After they looked at each other for a few seconds, the leading pirate recounted the whole story. "…When we got close to the Zerg nest, we found that the Zerg inside had a great advantage in numbers. If we fought head-on, we might not have a chance of winning."
"then."
"The new leader has come up with a plan... that is to cut open the food of the Zerg Mother and hide inside it. The Zerg will take them into the gestation chamber where the Zerg Mother is, find the core of the wormhole, and then install the explosive device."
"If so."
"We can avoid direct conflict with the Zerg, and the feasibility of detonating the wormhole will also increase."
"The new leader and the former leader were both trying to sneak into the hive. They had a dispute with each other and neither could convince the other. So the new leader took the initiative and injected a certain dose of sleeping potion into the former leader when he was not paying attention."
"It should have been about two or three hours so far. The former leader should be waking up soon."
Speaking of it.
The leading pirate paused again and let out a long breath, "As for the new leader... we lost contact with him after entering the wormhole, so we don't know where he is now..."
He didn't finish the rest of the sentence.
But all the pirates present knew that the new leader was in great danger.
For an instant.
Chi Hu was simply struck by lightning.
Before he could say anything else, he saw Lu Minghe, who was originally in a coma, move his eyelashes slightly. It seemed that the effect of the medicine was wearing off, or maybe his willpower was too strong, so he slowly woke up.
When Lu Minghe saw the pirates surrounding him and Chi Hu's concerned gaze, his eyes were a little unclear for a moment.
But soon.
He recalled everything that had happened before he fell asleep, including but not limited to Lu Chihuan's plan to go to the insect nest on his own initiative and the injection of something similar to a sleeping potion into him.
Suddenly.
Lu Minghe's eyes changed.
His face looked so gloomy as if water was about to drip out, which was a bit scary.
The pirates who were surrounding him were about to say a few words, but when they felt the coldness emanating from Lu Minghe, they dared not even utter a word. They rubbed their arms and took a few steps back, like frightened quails.
leader……
Now it looks horrible.
Lu Minghe stood up without saying a word, then walked forward with his head down.
After summoning his mecha, he was about to go up, but Chi Hu grabbed his arm. Although Chi Hu felt a little reluctant, he still chose to tell the truth, "Chief."
"It's too late."
His voice was filled with suppressed sobs and self-blame. "Now the wormhole is closed. Even if I want to go in, I can't find the entrance... Now everything is too late."
Lu Minghe's eyes were blank for a moment, and his face lost all color.
"I have to go even if it's late."
soon.
He replied softly again.
There seemed to be a tight string in his mind that was trying to prevent him from losing his mind and control, but it was obvious that the string was on the verge of breaking. "I must bring him back."
Lu Minghe's voice was cold.
He was no longer as calm and composed as usual, and even sounded a little paranoid.
"must."
