This Beauty is Out from Space Chapter 2

Several supercomputers are piled up in the spacious family starship. A silver-haired man sits beside the screen and types away. His ten fingers rapidly tap on the keyboard. As the man moves, pictures and text information appear on the transparent screen connected to the host.

"Hi, a."

Someone put his hand on his shoulder from behind, and the man glanced lazily at the young man beside him. Elliot seemed to have just woken up. Compared with his usual neat and tidy appearance that made people want to strip him from head to toe, the other party was only wearing a thin white shirt at this moment. The ivory buttons were randomly fastened, making the open neckline reveal a large area of collarbone. If A remembered correctly, this handmade shirt that was just released at the Haute Couture Exhibition a few days ago was worth five hundred years. People who were deceived by Elliot always tried their best to give him the best things. Of course, he deserved those.

The man grabbed a handful of potato chips and said, "Good morning, little goblin."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Fine," A's hand fell on the keyboard like dancing, "You are too much of a troublemaker. When I gave you the information about the King of the Federation, I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with him. Really obsessed, you little b@st@rd. He even used the power of the military to search the nearby galaxies and even set up checkpoints. If it weren't for my slightly better technology------"

"I believe in you, a." Elliot took out a drink from the small refrigerator: "With a teammate like you, I don't have to worry about anything."

"...Don't use sweet words to me. I can't stand honey traps," the man said with a sigh, "I helped you deposit the time you earned into the bank. You, me, and Cole are five to three to two."

"Speaking of this," Elliot took a sip of carbonated drink: "Where is Cole?"

"Here, dear," the woman who suddenly appeared kissed him on the cheek, and her big breasts wrapped in a black velvet backless dress pressed against Elliot's chest: "I love you so much, Xiaoye, you don't know how great you are. You have managed to get so much time in just a few months."

A expressionless face: "Old people can't stand such restricted scenes so early in the morning."

"Cole," Elliot lowered his head and looked into her eyes. The blonde with blue eyes was as beautiful as an angel: "Take less powder."

"......"

Cole and A are Elliot's companions, and they are criminals who steal time with him. Cole is responsible for collecting intelligence. Not only can she get first-hand military secrets, but she also knows what colors the cabinet minister's mistress likes to wear. Apart from her obsession with drugs, she is a perfect intelligence officer. A is a top hacker without a real name. He is responsible for making plans and cleaning up the mess for Elliot after he has done something. In a situation like today, if it weren't for A's anti-reconnaissance technology, he would have been captured by the king and taken back to the palace.

The first person he met after waking up was A. At that time, the other party saw that he knew nothing, but was really curious about his origins. With these two considerations, he simply picked up Elliot and brought him back to the starship. Later, A also picked up Cole, who had nothing, for similar reasons. He usually thought A was too nagging and called him mom, so Cole, who could fight better than any man, was naturally dad.

"Son," A suddenly looked up from the keyboard: "Mom asks you, has the King of the Federation discovered your secret?"

"Ah, that's too euphemistic," Cole chuckled, "You should ask Xiaoye, Liam seems to be a brave man in bed, have you slept with him, does he make you feel comfortable?"

"I slept with it, I don't know if anyone noticed it."

After being picked up by A, A had performed physical and mental examinations on him to prevent any accidents. It was only after the examination that he came to know that his special abilities were to see time and steal time. What surprised Elliot the most was that he was diagnosed with a rare "charming bone" physique. On the surface, he looked no different from a normal person, but inside, his every skin and flesh was full of foxy charm. He could not understand the horror of this kind of physique at first, until A gave him an example.

A person with a charming body is like a sealed fine wine. Although the aroma of the wine will not be easily revealed, it can make those who have drunk it craving for it for the rest of their lives and be haunted by it. Such a physique can easily bring him wealth and favor, but it can also bring endless disasters.

After hearing his words, a's face changed.

"Look at it easy, Mom," Cole lit a cigarette. She was such a beautiful woman, and the thin smoke was a perfect match for her. "Isn't it good this way? Once a man has tasted Xiaoye, he will never forget it. Even if he is caught in the future, he won't die."

"There are many things more terrible than death," A said calmly, "None of the flatterers in history had a good ending, and none of them died quickly and painfully."

"It's okay, a." Elliot changed the subject: "I just saw you looking at the information about the Mermaid Galaxy. Do you have a new target?"

"Yeah," A nodded. Speaking of the mysterious dreamlike creature called mermaid, his eyes lit up: "The latest data shows that every mermaid carries at least tens of millions of years of time. The longer a mermaid lives, the more time they have. They don't age... They are truly incredible creatures."

"Mermaid?" Cole tilted her head curiously: "Is she beautiful?"

"Very beautiful," A was rarely serious. He turned around and tapped the keyboard twice, calling up the information he had just looked up: "Like this one, it is the only mermaid that has survived after being captured."

The creature in the photo has shiny white hair, and its water-red eyes make its face look particularly dreamy. Its eyelashes are long and thick, and the slightly raised arc is as graceful as a white dove flapping its wings. Its nose is small and tall, and its lips are as red as rose petals. It is looking at the camera, and every part of its body is extremely perfect.

Cole was stunned: "...... flat chested?"

"This is a male mermaid," A said, "Mermaids can be both male and female. Unfortunately, this is the only mermaid that has survived after being captured. The other mermaids died inexplicably. They seem to prefer suicide to being owned by humans." His finger slid, "There are wormholes surrounding the mermaid galaxy now, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find the right way to enter it. In the records of the past few centuries, mermaids are a relatively common, fragile and beautiful creature. Humans living near the mermaid galaxy often encounter mermaids. Young girls are so fascinated by the beauty of mermaids that they are willing to be dragged into the water by them. There are also star pirates who specialize in capturing mermaids alive and bringing them into starships to relieve loneliness during long voyages. Some people even gave mermaids as pets to important members of the Federation to please them. From the information currently available, mermaids have weak attack power, are very beautiful, and carry a lot of time on them."

"What a good deal," Elliot leaned over and looked at the screen: "Sleeping with a female mermaid not only saves time, but also brings you good fortune."

a smiled evilly: "Are you sure you don't want to find a male? It's a waste of your physique."

"No," Elliot glanced at him, "It's my first time to be on the bottom with Hyden. Comparatively, it's more comfortable to be on top."

Although the feeling was indeed good, the king's strength and skills made Elliot consider surrendering and leaving everything to that man for a moment, but after calming down, the soreness and fatigue made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He didn't like situations that were out of his control, and he had a strong desire for control. In this respect, he and Hyden were just as pathological.

"A male is fine too," Cole interrupted. "After all, they are weak and beautiful. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to capture a male? I saw the information a just mentioned. Some space pirates specifically target male mermaids."

Elliot touched his chin: "Sounds good."

"A bounty hunter starship will arrive at Planet Cero this Friday. If we work harder, we may be able to catch up. The captain of this starship is a four-star hunter. His name is ------"

Cole leaned closer to the screen: "Hey! I know this captain. A few days ago, he rejected the pursuit of a noble lady in front of everyone at the dance party. He is a very charming young man." She put an ambiguous smile on her red lips: "But I believe Xiaoye is more charming. Instead of going to the sea to fish for fish yourself, I suggest you deal with him, and wait for him to catch the mermaid. When you get the mermaid, you can cheat him of his time."

She saw the black-haired and black-eyed young man smile slightly. After spending a long time together, she knew that he now agreed with this method.

They reached an agreement, and another unlucky guy was about to suffer.

"Just one question..."

aHe hesitated to speak.

The night was dark and starless with dark clouds. The transport ships coming and going stopped at the transportation hub of Cero. A handsome oriental young man was leaning against the door railing of a tavern smoking. The crazy howling of the death metal band inside was particularly harsh in the night. The lead singer of the band was shaking his red curly hair vigorously. The young man narrowed his midnight eyes. From a distance, he could see the slender captain beside him walking out from the depths of the tavern with his subordinates.

Allen Aloser, the bounty hunter leader who is about to head to the Mermaid Galaxy. His target this time, coincidentally, is Captain Allen, who has red hair like the lead singer of the band.

Those people were getting closer and closer to him. The smell of blood on the bounty hunter's body could not be washed off and blended into the wind. Elliot stepped on the door railing and stood in front of Allen. He seemed to be drunk, with a pair of blurred and clear eyes. He suddenly grabbed the other's muscular arm.

"You sing really fucking badly."

As he spoke, Elliot blew all the smoke onto the captain's expressionless face.

"Boss..."

The hunter next to him couldn't help wanting to beat him up, but Allen shook his head to signal them not to pay attention. Seeing that they wanted to leave, Elliot suddenly leaned close to the captain's ear.

"Do you really understand what art is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flowing dagger inlaid with cat's eye fell out of his body. The strange material sparkled in the moonlight. Some hunters looked at the tall young man in front of them in surprise.

"Boss, this dagger is------"

The rhino iron dagger numbered 051 was forged by a famous genius craftsman in the last century. This series of daggers has been sold at a sky-high price on the black market. It is said that on the entire planet of Cero, only the eldest son of the federal government owns a dagger forged by a genius. Rumor has it that he is a playboy-like fool. Captain Allen looked at the drunken young man in front of him in silence. After the other party picked up the dagger, he suddenly laughed.

"Do you want it?" The young man looked straight at Allen with his dark eyes: "If you want to take it away, you can take me with you."

No man who has been on the battlefield for years can resist the devil's dagger, and the same is true for Allen. More than 20 minutes later, Elliot was lying in the bounty hunters' starship, looking at the thick black clouds outside the window. He gave the dagger to Allen, who agreed to give him a ride temporarily. The dagger was real, but of course it was not his. A few hours ago, he pretended to be a naive and ignorant poor student to trick the eldest son of the Zero Federation into getting the dagger. Now he pretended to be the eldest son who ran away from home because of his father's opposition in pursuit of music to deceive these bounty hunters.

Someone brought a can of cold water to his face, and a bright red color appeared in his vision. He heard Captain Allen's voice: "Are you awake, drunkard?"

After taking the can and drinking it in one gulp, Elliot smiled frustratedly yet nonchalantly like a true artist.

"Thank you," he said, "I'm glad you took me out and didn't mind me mistaking you for the lead singer of the band."

"Would you rather leave such a good seat unseen?"

"Look," he pointed out the window, "when the clouds clear, there will be stars outside. I have only seen the stars in Cerro, and the universe farther away is blank to me. My father makes me face this chief and that speaker every day. Music and stars are worthless to him. It's good to be a playboy, but there are no songs I like in the government."

Allen sneered: "Childish and arrogant."

"Yes," Elliot scratched his hair, "so I envy you guys, especially you."

"......"

"You seem to know what you want and will keep working towards it." As if to ease the atmosphere, Elliot joked: "Even if your singing is really fucking terrible."

After a long silence, Allen suddenly said, "You've never fucking heard me sing."

The prey took the bait.

Elliot smiled and waved his hand.

At first, Allen agreed to give him a ride. After a few days, although they were getting closer and closer to the Mermaid Galaxy, he never heard Allen ask him to leave. Fortunately, even though he could see the growing affection in the other's eyes, Allen never did anything inappropriate to him. In Allen's eyes, he was probably a naive and pitiful artist who just happened to have a golden spoon from the Federation. He would be scared if anyone suggested being g@y or having s3x with him. A one-sided spiritual love was enough.

Very good positioning, keep it up.

On another sunny day, they were getting closer and closer to the Mermaid Galaxy. Allen asked him from the side what he thought about mermaids. After he praised the perfection and fantasy of mermaids, Allen suddenly told him that there was a living mermaid on their starship.

"Really?" Elliot opened his eyes slightly, and his expression of surprise and joy was just right: "Can I take a look? I mean, um...can I take a look?"

The captain couldn't help but smile and patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and motioned Elliot to follow. He walked behind Allen, and his original surprise gradually turned into a thoughtful look.

In order to avoid the wormhole and reach the Mermaid Galaxy, they must be led by a mermaid. A told him long before the action that Allen's starship stored the only mermaid captured alive. What really concerned Elliot was the words that A hesitated to say at that time - "Although mermaids are seen as beautiful and weak creatures in most records, in an audio clip from the last century, a shipwreck survivor once used a word to describe mermaids."

Elliot watched Allen open the room, and suddenly there was a sound of rushing water, as if the sleeping creatures inside were delighted by his arrival. The sunlight shone into the basement from the transparent resin glass, and the sound of water became clearer and clearer. Thinking of the description of the survivor, Elliot smiled.

"He called them 'evil spirits.'"
