Him and their stars

Located between the tree-lined boulevards of the university town and the sailing pier on the sea, there is a row of high-end serviced apartments.

It is only a three-minute walk from Lulin Street where Ronghui Building is located, and ten minutes from the central teaching building of Ocean University. You need to take a bus to go to Hongshan University, but it is only a matter of two stops.

Although each of them claims to be a student apartment, and they also claim to provide high-quality and cheap rental housing for students studying in prestigious universities in the university town; however, just looking at the magnificent appearance of these apartment buildings can tell that they can barely survive by relying on work-study studies. Vigorous college students will never be able to live here no matter how discounted the rent is.

But we also need to know that people’s class attributes are actually revealed as early as their basic education stage. Even college students born in the middle class will be discouraged by these dizzying rents, but even so, these apartments will never lack residents.

Whether you rent or buy, the occupancy rate is always above 80%.

Of course, regardless of class attributes and consumerism, which are the root of all evil, at least the safety factor of apartments and even entire neighborhoods is very high.

Gongsun Qing owns an apartment there. Note that she used "owned", indicating that it was not rented but purchased directly.

Even among those who can afford these serviced apartments, she is the top one.

Of course, we must also admit that Gongsun Qing is still a good girl. Although she lives on the top floor of a luxury hotel, she is still a good girl who is happy to work and study.

Although the activities of Guerrilla are not very active, the various auditions for the crew are still very active. Although she has been in the league for three years, has obtained a master's degree in film studies, and is already studying for a doctorate in drama theory, she finally got the opportunity to be the heroine of a B-level movie, but there are still various special and supporting roles. I've acted in about ten of them.

Although the money earned from all the above activities is not enough to pay the property fee of the apartment, no one can say that she is not a good girl who supports herself.

When Yu Lian said, "We should change places," Gongsun Qing directly suggested going back to her home.

The security management of this kind of luxury hotel-style apartment is still very strict, so there is no need to worry about outsiders disturbing you. In addition, she, Gongsun Qing, was the future Earl of Yongdi no matter what. Although she was a war-crazed "Shura", she still brought some alchemy props from home and carried out certain occult protection treatments on the entire house.

"...So, where are your butlers and those maids and whatnot?"

"I am studying abroad with a Ph.D. in art theory. Of course I have to live independently. Moreover, if my classmates see me, what will I say?" Gongsun Qing held his head high and said proudly:

"They live in an apartment in the main city and come over twice a week to help me clean my room. The rest of the time they do it themselves."

What an “independent life”!

"The next time they come here will be the day after tomorrow. It should be the safest place there now."

Yu Lian couldn't help but was speechless. He felt that this girl was missing a piece of her brain before, but now she was even more sure of it. However, he also had to admit that for a while he really couldn't find a safer place than Miss Gongsun Qing's boudoir.

Therefore, we can only follow the good and the good.

However, when the two people came out of the complex where the "Silver Arch Bridge" is located and prepared to take a taxi, they witnessed a group of people carrying slogans and flags walking past the square avenue in front of them. There were two to three hundred people. There are so many people.

"Oh, the Chinese New Year is almost here. Why don't you think about buying some new year's goods, but instead hang out here and enjoy the parade? You're so energetic!"

"The citizens of Haidu are very energetic, and they will go to the streets to make noise if there is anything." Gongsun Qing looked at the flags he passed over: "Oh, they are against the alliance's military aid to the New World front line, and they are against Luo The inheritance of the kingdom of Sasha was transferred.”

"I know that before. Even in the Alliance Congress, quite a few members believe that the war between the New World and the Marauders is a matter between the Empire and the Community. The Alliance should not help the two sides, and even sell arms to both sides." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Gongsun Qing was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't this, this, all saying that predators are the mortal enemies of civilization?"

Indeed, the plunderers have not stopped plundering the surrounding stable galaxies since the day they existed. Therefore, in the promotional materials of various countries, trolls, long-bearded monsters, and Eero blood men all want to eat children and drink alcohol. of.

Among them, the one that contributed the most to the flames was naturally the Alliance. Now that we are talking about making a deal with these devils who eat children, if it is really exposed, many people will find it difficult to accept it.

"So it's just the Congress that's discussing it." Yu Lian shrugged: "Then again, what's going on with the industrial transfer of the Lothar Kingdom?"

"I don't know." Gongsun Qing shook his head matter-of-factly: "People don't like to read Sankei News."

"..." Yu Lian thought it would be better to go back and check. As soon as this thought came to his mind, a passing parade brother thrust a handful of leaflets into his hand.

"Oppose the transfer of dangerous factories!" he shouted while holding a sign and strode back to the crowd. At this time, the parade of several hundred people had passed in front of the city complex, gathered at the intersection next to it, and then all stopped. Under the watchful eyes of a patrol post and several armed police officers, we began to wait for the red light.

"I have never seen such a decent parade. No wonder the police were so calm." Yu Lian said with a smile.

"Anyway, as long as there is no vandalism, looting or blocking traffic, the police will not care." Gongsun Qing said.

"The alliance's constitution must guarantee citizens' freedom of assembly and procession, right?" Yu Lian smiled: "But, because we are in the capital of the sea."

"But, this is Haidu!" Gongsun Qing said suspiciously. She didn't fully understand what the other person meant.

Yu Lian looked at the parade that he had never seen in his life and was still waiting for a red light. He could clearly see the dignity and arrogance of the old alliance's Zhenghua (meow) flag in every marcher.

In all likelihood, these people are old citizens of Haidu. They certainly have freedom of assembly and a firm belief that they will never grease the tracks.

However, no matter how elegant and disciplined these marchers are, they still inevitably cause a small impact on traffic. By the time the two returned to the university town, it was already 11:30 noon.

Just like what Gongsun Qing said, since this is both a "student apartment" and a hotel-style apartment, the management is indeed very strict. Carrying his big travel bag, Gongsun Qing took Yu Lian through three doors before entering the lobby. Then he met the apartment housekeeper standing in the lobby, a gentleman with a wig. Regardless of whether Gongsun Qing called him or not, he already came up to him and said in an authentic old O'Dolan accent, "Do you need my help? Ms. Gongsun, and this Your Excellency. I am indeed the first See you once.”

Needless to say, after passing the machine inspection, it also needed to pass the gentleman's manual inspection. He would not dare to relax at all just because Yu Lian was a guest brought back by the owner.

Oh, by the way, Aldolan refers to the royal era of the alliance's home planet, the northern continent of Nephi, and even the most powerful civilized empire on the entire planet. It is also regarded as the most important birthplace of civilization in the Alliance. The current common language of the Alliance is improved from Aldolan.

The ancient Aldolan Empire of those days has naturally disappeared with the end of the royal era, but the rulers of the empire still exist.

It is said, really just rumors, that the Demeishan family, one of the fourteen families in the alliance, is the direct descendant of the royal family of the ancient Aldolan Empire.

...Well, if the white-haired fox were here, he would definitely say that there are no fourteen alliances, and there is no behind-the-scenes power that rules the alliance. These are all baseless urban rumors, and their credibility is not as good as King Solomon’s Treasures and the Hermitage of Sion.

In short, a butler with an Ordolan accent will make the gentlemen of the alliance feel like they have returned to the palace in the royal era. It is naturally very sentimental and very honorable.

The butler, who had raised the style and price of the entire apartment by at least ten percentage points, after confirming Yu Lian's identity, he respectfully held his passport over his head with both hands with a smile, handed it back, and said deeply He bowed deeply and then let him go.

As a top steward, he did not show any unprofessionalism because Yu Lian was a celebrity and high-ranking official, fully explaining the principle that you get what you pay for.

When entering his apartment, Gongsun Qing finally let out a sigh of relief. He threw his big travel bag on top of a cylindrical housekeeping robot that came up to him and sighed:

"Suddenly I want to sleep. It's better to have your own bed. I didn't even sleep well in the police station."

Yu Lian thought to himself that you, a silly girl who could fall asleep during a meeting in the classroom, really didn't look like the type to take a bed, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are the people from the Coast Guard interrogating you overnight?"

"I don't dare, and they weren't interrogating, they were quite polite. At ten o'clock in the evening, the interrogation was over, and I was given a private room to rest. But I couldn't sleep. I lied..."

Under Yu Lian's surprised gaze, she quickly changed her words: "Ah, no, I didn't lie. Well, I just didn't tell everything. Is this a lie? Besides, maybe it's just me overthinking."

She stamped her feet in resignation, opened her coat, and handed Yu Lian a triangular object: "This is what I got from the battle..."

At this time, she seemed to smell some warmth, and she raised her graceful nose again. She was slightly startled, and then a red glow flashed across her face quickly.

"Let's see what this is first. I'm going to take a shower."

Yu Lian looked at the back of the girl who was leaving in a hurry, and felt more and more that this girl was really out of her mind. However, in a sense, this is also a kind of purity. For a warrior like Shura, the purer he is, the more likely he is to reach the top.

So, Yu Lian sat down in the living room and began to carefully examine the things Gongsun Qing gave him. This may be the only clue to the assassination.

But then again, although Yu Lian felt that he and General Gu Jiao were very close, after all, they only knew each other for more than two hours, so there was really no deep relationship. Although his head was shot right in front of him, Yu Lian could only observe three minutes of silence and lament for two or three days, and the incident was considered over.

If it hadn't been for that time when the assassin shot himself next to him after killing General Gu Jiao, Yu Lian might have even forgotten about it.

However, considering the situation at the scene, it is a little unreasonable.

General Gujiao is an ordinary person, but he is a psychic who has become famous in the past two years. If the other party knows him, he should know that when he is prepared, this kind of long-distance sniping is almost impossible to succeed, and he may be exposed; but if the other party does not know him, why should he make up for it? Where's the cold gun?

It's not like killing people indiscriminately, right? In a sniper shooting, how many people are randomly killed within the office?

Well, it’s not that there is no such anti-social personality, but shouldn’t it be more appropriate to run into the square with a machine gun and attack unarmed civilians?

Being able to calmly choose a sniping location, prepare an escape route, wait for the opportunity to snipe, kill with one shot and then escape safely, this stack of buffs is too much. To be honest, it's really unlikely.

To be honest, Yu Lian is still a little interested in this matter, but after all, it is his responsibility, and as a diplomat, he cannot intervene in the law enforcement work of other countries at will.

But now, aren't you on vacation? Moreover, Xiao Qing happened to meet him, so he could still check it out a little bit.

All in all, whether it was the sound of water in the nearby bathroom, the fragrance in the girl's boudoir, or even the roller robot spinning around in the room playing soft music, they did not shake Yu Lian's Taoist heart at all.

At this time, he had put all his attention and observation on the triangular sign in his hand, which was exactly what Gongsun Qing had given him before.

It has a very colorful eye pattern on the front, and an irregular lightning symbol on the back. The whole thing is only about half the size of a palm (excluding fingers), and the texture looks light and fragile.

The appearance of this thing is a bit exaggerated, the colors are a bit too bright and gorgeous, and the texture is as crunchy as biscuits. It does look a bit like a children's toy made of plastic, and it is also a small workshop product of low quality.

Do you know those pirated magic sticks sold by street vendors? That's what it feels like.

However, when you hold this thing in your hand, you can feel a heavy weight. In an instant, the mystery of this object suddenly increased by several orders of magnitude. Now Yu Lian was sitting on the warm and fragrant carpet, fiddling with the triangular sign in his hand, confirming that it should be made of a composite material close to resin.

Yu Lian initially doubted whether there were any electronic components or information ports hidden inside this thing, and even activated the golden whistle to help him observe it, but unfortunately found nothing.

"It will take twelve hours to complete the preliminary analysis of the unknown object's material." Golden Whistle returned with a soft electronic voice without fluctuations: "But it is certain that its material can shield all known electromagnetic and gravitational signals."

"What about the source wave?" Yu Lian suddenly became interested.

"I cannot explain to you the operating principle of the mass wave supertube beam communication, but I can confirm that this unknown object does not contain a mass wave relay device."

Well, since we can't use scientific methods, we have to use some supernatural methods. Sure enough, when Yu Lian tried to input spiritual energy into it, the triangular sign suddenly produced a resonance that was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

Even most psychics with good hearing and vision would most likely ignore it, but Yu Lian, who was already at the sixth level and had cosmic awareness, clearly felt it.

He can even restore a sense of rhythm from the subtle and gentle amplitude.

In this way, Yu Lian fell into his own world. The sound of rushing water and fragrant aroma coming from the bathroom next door, as well as the mountain spring slowly boiling over a low fire in the kitchen, did not shake his sanity at all.

He read the gentle rhythm carefully, fearing that he might miss any vibration. Five minutes passed before Yu Lian finally perceived a complete set of rhythmic illusions.

Of course, in order to confirm his guess, Yu Lian carefully listened to it twice more, and then he completely confirmed his guess.

He thoughtfully took down the triangular sign that looked like a pirated children's toy and shook it against the warm sunshine at noon. Then he could vaguely see a ray of light shining through the gaps between the signs. on the ground. The mottled halo seemed to dance out a fair outline on the ground, much like the gesture of words, but it disappeared immediately.

Yu Lian understood immediately. He faced the side of the triangular lightning bolt towards the sun and began to shake it slowly according to the rhythm he felt before.

Something magical finally happened. The sunlight fell directly onto the ground, forming a string of characters and a grim pattern.

When Gongsun Qing came over after taking a bath, wrapped warmly in his home clothes and carrying a plate of tea and snacks, this was what he saw.

"This, I, ah, you..."

"Hurry and write down these characters." Yu Lian ordered.

Only then did Gongsun Qing realize. He quickly put down the tea tray and picked up the gel pen from the desk. She couldn't understand the characters, but at this point, all she had to do was write them down completely.

When Gongsun Qing finished writing the last stroke, the triangular sign finally lost its luster, and all the pictures and texts scattered on the ground were no longer visible.

Gongsun Qing said "Oh", as if he had missed 100 million, and then buried his head and didn't dare to look at Yu Lian's eyes again.

"What's wrong? Did you copy it wrong?"

"Copy, I copied it correctly, but I didn't copy the graphic." Gongsun Qing looked like he was about to cry.

"It doesn't matter, I've written it down." Yu Lian nodded his head: "Let's talk about the situation at that time."
