Horizon Before Sunrise Chapter 10

"27 years?"

The look of surprise on Saer's face didn't seem to be acted at all, so Chus took out his communicator, looked up the message and carefully confirmed the time again.

He looked back and forth at the year display three times before he stood up straight, playing with the communicator in his hand and walking towards Saer.

Chus stood in front of Saer, and the communicator slipped between his fingers and turned in a different direction. He pointed the screen showing the information towards Saer and said, "The message announcing your jailbreak was indeed received by this thing 27 years ago, and you sent me another message today 27 years later, asking me why I didn't reply."

Sae said angrily: "Am I sick?"

Truth: "You didn't?"

Saer: ...

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mop, who was making a cross with his hands, quietly squeezed into the corner, and gently turned the dining chair in front of him to block himself with the back of the chair to reduce his presence.

Sae laughed briefly again and shook his head. "Well, the commander has the final say. I am a little sick. But the two messages were sent only one day apart, maybe a day and a half apart. In short, it was definitely no more than two days."

Truth: "Then it seems that the cosmic super signal doesn't just dislike you, it probably has a grudge against you for killing your father."

"Let me see." Sae raised his hand to touch Chus's communicator.

But before he could touch it, Asher raised his eyebrows and threw it back into his trouser pocket.

"You are too defensive, dear." Sae paused for a moment, then put his fingers back on the edge of the table, tapped them twice like playing a piano, and then said, "When I sent you a message, I had just jumped twice and found a place to stay. As soon as I put away the communicator, I found that the place was rushing towards the black hole. It seems that the speed of time there is a little different from your side------"

He was halfway through explaining when he suddenly remembered something and frowned, but in the blink of an eye he regained his normal expression and continued, "It's a bit too much."

In fact, before Saer said that, Chus had guessed that it was affected by the black hole.

Although the difference was unexpected, there was no more reasonable explanation. Different time speeds were normal in the vast universe, so Asher didn't take it too seriously. He walked towards the cage and asked casually, "So when did you escape from prison?"

Before Sae could answer, the prisoner in the cage spoke for him: "The day the planet exploded."

Asher couldn't help but look back at him.

Saer spread his hands, "I'm in a bad mood after my home was bombed, so it's normal to go out for a walk."

Truss: ...

Mop: "......" Go out for a walk? Boss, do you still remember that you are a prisoner?

Talking to someone like Saer, who talks nonsense without blinking an eye, is torture to yourself.

Asher waved his hand, not bothering to pay attention to him. He turned around and knocked on the side of the cage, saying, "Thanks for your answer, but it would be even more touching if you could tell me what went wrong in the space prison."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the black gold ring on the prisoner's arm.

The black gold ring suddenly lit up when he touched it, and the prisoner's name quietly emerged on the edge.

Asher glanced at him and continued, "Cotton Lester, oh------you are the Golden Crow from Xixi City."

The name "Golden Crow of Xixi City" was once a psychological shadow for the officials in the planetary government pyramid. He had repeatedly caused great chaos in the United Administrative Building, the White Eagle Sanatorium directly managed by the military, and Bank Street. A general, four high-ranking officials of the Elders Council, and no less than 20 mid-level officials died.

Those major chaos happened to occur in the same week, making it difficult to cope with them.

After that week, the planet's political structure underwent a not-so-small reshuffle. Due to the absence of responsible officials, several ongoing global projects were shelved or stopped, which directly led to an extremely chaotic situation in those two years.

Some people say that it was the end of one conspiracy and the beginning of another. After all, the files on the "Golden Crow" incident later became level 9 encrypted files, and the public was confused by the conflicting reports, and before they could figure out the specific situation, their attention was drawn to other things.

What everyone can see is that after the "Golden Crow Incident", a group of young officials were promoted.

That was the year Asher entered the Security Building.

The prisoner's reaction to the name "Golden Crow" was somewhat complicated. On the one hand, he frowned and seemed very impatient. On the other hand, he habitually raised his chin slightly, showing a subtle arrogance.

He bit the cracked skin at the corners of his lips for a while, and spoke in a hoarse voice, but it was not to answer Truce's question: "Don't call me that nickname in front of me, it's annoying."

Asher looked at him calmly for a while, raised his hand and pressed the sound-absorbing ring on his neck again, "I'm very sorry, I prefer to answer directly, and I don't like to listen to people complain about insignificant things."

After saying that, he touched the metal sheet at the end with his thumb, and the green light of the sound-absorbing coil switched back to red in a second and locked again.

Golden Crow: "......"

He glared at Asher and roared silently: Fuck your dad!

Asher moved closer, covered his nose, and stared at the golden crow from top to bottom with his light-colored eyes, still too calm: "Unfortunately, my father has passed away. I'm not sure if you can realize your idea just now, but I don't mind sending you to see him."

Golden Crow: "......"

Once you have experienced the feeling of being released from the ban, being restricted again will become extremely difficult and unbearable.

After silently cursing Asher's ancestors for eight generations, the golden crow finally gave in, rolled its eyes and banged the cage at Asher: I was wrong.

Asher smiled and untied his sound absorbing ring again.

Golden Crow wanted to spray blood all over his face, but when he thought about being silenced, he had to hold his nose and endure it, saying: "That... The day after Yang left the prison, there was a riot here. The deputy warden and the prison guards on duty were ambushed and locked in the first prison area. The rest of us were forced into physiological shock by those ba5tards, and when we opened our eyes again, we were in cages."

Asher frowned: "The first prison area is full, can it accommodate?"

"It can be packed in because the people originally imprisoned there have been released, Grey Wolf Set and his grandchildren." The Golden Crow mocked, "The sneak attack on the prison guards and the opening of the first prison area were both ordered by the same person..."

"Who?" Truth asked.

Golden Crow: "You."

Asher touched his earlobe and squinted his eyes and said, "I think I heard it wrong. Who are you talking about?"
