Prison on an alien planet (2)
Since ancient times, there had been many seniors who had been imprisoned, but Xia Fei was undoubtedly the first to be imprisoned by an alien.
Since ancient times, all the seniors who had been imprisoned hoped that the prison door would suddenly open, and Xia Fei was living comfortably in this cell. He was even somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
It was six o'clock sharp on Earth, and Xia Fei was curled up on the narrow single bed. He used a military green blanket to cover himself from head to toe, sleeping soundly.
* Beep beep beep *
A cheap electronic watch on the bedside let out an unpleasant and ear-piercing sound, waking Xia Fei up from his sleep.
He casually pressed the mute button on the watch and sat up in bed in a daze.
He counted to three in his heart before abruptly opening his eyes.
A few seconds later, Xia Fei confirmed that he was still in the cell, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
This cell was even more comfortable than Xia Fei's home. The room that was less than ten square meters had all sorts of facilities, and it was always warm regardless of the season. There was even an independent shower room.
Xia Fei first took a hot shower in the bathroom before taking out his clothes from the smart washing machine.
Xia Fei could not describe his love for such a high-end washing machine. Dirty clothes only needed five minutes to be clean, and they were even carefully ironed, giving off a refreshing feeling like the sun.
This was simply a sacred tool for bachelors. With it, there was no need to worry about a pile of smelly socks, nor would it be difficult to pick out a slightly cleaner pair.
After eating a breakfast that tasted like Chunghwa toothpaste, Xia Fei sat on the bed in a daze. If this was Earth, he would have already left on a bicycle to pick up the mail from the company and distribute it.
Being a bicycle courier was a very popular job in 2019 on Earth. There was no city that did not have traffic jams these days, so the flexible bicycle became the first choice for courier services.
Xia Fei would get five dollars for every mail he delivered, and the monthly income of around 1,500 dollars was still passable. It was enough for Xia Fei to survive in a big city like Beijing. If he was lucky, he could even watch a movie, drink a cup of coke, and eat a bucket of popcorn every month.
Sighing, Xia Fei decided to do a few push-ups to pass the time.
He placed his feet on the bed and placed his hands on the floor.
"1, 2, 3, 4 …"
Sweat slowly dripped from his head. What was originally a simple movement was getting heavier and heavier, but Xia Fei had no intention of giving up.
After doing push-ups, it was gymnastics. After gymnastics, it was still push-ups.
Only after exhausting the last bit of energy in his body did Xia Fei lie down on the bed and pull the blanket over his head.
And so, Xia Fei went back to sleep.
Wake up, shower, eat, do push-ups, do gymnastics, sleep. This was Xia Fei's daily routine, and he had been repeating it over and over again for half a month. Of course, he still had to be interrogated by Fatty Connor on time.
After an unknown period of time, a series of footsteps came from the corridor, coming closer and closer.
Xia Fei, who was under the blanket, opened his eyes vigilantly. Fatty Connor's footsteps were heavy and lazy, which was very easy to distinguish. Xia Fei wasn't familiar with the other footsteps. It was a sonorous and crisp sound, which was very similar to the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.
"Women?" Xia Fei muttered to himself, but he very quickly dispelled this conjecture. How could there be a woman in prison? This must be an illusion. "
Clang!
The heavy metal door was opened, and two individuals walked into the room one after another.
Xia Fei was already used to all of this. According to the usual routine, they would bring him to the interrogation room and ask him a bunch of baffling questions.
"Sigh, even if you ask me a thousand or ten thousand times, my answer will still be the same. My name is Xia Fei, 17 years old, an Earthling, ID number ESS 370402. I have no money, no car, no house, no girlfriend, and I'm definitely not a ghost. "Xia Fei said with some annoyance.
Removing the blanket, Xia Fei sat up on the bed and used his hand to rub his red eyes. "Alright, I will go with you now. Do you know that this is a violation of human rights? Earth might be a low-level civilized planet, but we are still humans. "
Xia Fei's rubbing of his eyes suddenly stopped because other than Fatty Connor, there was another unfamiliar woman in front of him.
She was around 1.75 meters tall and had a curvaceous figure. Her gorgeous red hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, and she should be around 27 or 28 years old. She didn't have any makeup on, and her entire body was emitting the unique charm of a mature woman.
She was wearing a green professional attire and had a silver circular badge on her chest. The three stars on it were very dazzling under the light.
The red-haired beauty stared at Xia Fei for a long time, causing Xia Fei to have goosebumps. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and laughed. Xia Fei noticed that there was a mischievous dimple on the left side of her face when she laughed. "Is this the Phantom that you guys caught?"
Phantom was the most mysterious assassin in the universe and also the most unlucky one. It was said that he had only done one case in his entire life, but because of it, he became one of the few super wanted criminals in the universe.
Fatty Connor's face was flushed as he stuttered, "I-I thought …"
"I don't know what you think, and I don't want to know." The red-haired beauty spoke as though she was reprimanding a child, "The efficiency of your secret police is truly amazing. You actually caught a primitive man that didn't even open his seventh brain region to impersonate Phantom. Can you guys please be more professional? If you want to impersonate someone, you should have caught someone more presentable. "
Fatty Connor's forehead began to sweat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "We inadvertently patrolled Earth and discovered that he was wearing a Moore Stone pendant that is the same as Spectre's."
After saying that, he took out a red pendant from his pocket and handed it to the red-haired beauty. This pendant was shaped like a drop of blood that was about to drip. There was even a yellow label on it, and the label had two big words: Evidence, which was very eye-catching.
The red-haired beauty hurriedly took a few glances before she flicked her wrist and threw the pendant back to Xia Fei. Xia Fei caught the pendant and thought to himself, 'Brother, you have caused me so much suffering this time. I thought that I had picked up a treasure when I picked you up, but in the end, you caused me to sit in jail for half a month for no reason, and it was even an alien's jail.'
Without thinking too much, Xia Fei tore off the label and put the pendant back on his neck.
"This kind of pendant can be bought for 50 star coins in the free market. Could it be that all the people wearing this kind of pendant are Phantom?" The red-haired beauty said with disdain, "Besides, it is just a legend that Phantom is wearing a blood-droplet-shaped Moore Stone pendant. In fact, no one knows what he looks like."
"But he is only a primitive man, so how could he have a pendant made of Moore Stone? Isn't this very suspicious? "Connor was still trying to defend himself.
The red-haired beauty was a little angry as she said with a cold expression, "So what if primitive men have Moore Stone pendants? Have you investigated their planet? Who knows, the planet they live on might have Moore Stone production. "
Connor didn't say anything else as he kept wiping the sweat off his face with his handkerchief. He was extremely nervous as if this red-haired beauty would eat him up at any moment.
Xia Fei knitted his brows and used a firm tone to say, "I'm sorry, beauty. I have to interrupt you for a moment. My name is Xia Fei, and I am an Earthling, not some primitive man."
The red-haired beauty turned her head and looked at Xia Fei with astonishment. "Beauty? This isn't a bad title, and I like it. Unfortunately, in my opinion, you are still a primitive man. This is a fact that can't be changed. "
Her gaze was like a human admiring a monkey, making Xia Fei very uncomfortable.
"Beauty." Xia Fei revealed a bright smile. "I am really a human and not a primitive man who uses stone tools to hunt."
The red-haired beauty laughed. "Why? Do you think that you are not a primitive man if you don't use stone tools to hunt? "As she spoke, she took out a microcomputer that was the size of a cigarette box from her pocket and pressed it lightly.
* Swish! *
A screen suddenly opened, and the red-haired beauty quickly typed in the word 'Earth'.
"Earth was discovered by the space explorer Madoff three years ago. Its civilization level is between a primitive planet and a class 1 civilized planet. The 7 billion Earthlings are actually divided into 224 countries."
"The probability of Earthlings opening their seventh brain region is 1 in 100 million, and it is classified as a class 0.5 civilized planet by the Pan-Human Alliance." The red-haired beauty read the information about Earth on the screen and didn't even try to conceal her ridicule toward Earth.
"It's a pity that Earth is only a class 0.5 civilized planet. Therefore, in the eyes of the various civilizations in the universe, you are just a group of primitive men who have just learned how to look at the starry sky."
Connor, who was at the side, also laughed as his huge beer belly shook.
The red-haired beauty coldly glanced at Connor. "You actually have the cheek to laugh? If I may say, your Cerule Secret Police are worse than primitive men. You are simply a bunch of idiots! "
Connor awkwardly stopped laughing and scratched his fat head resentfully. He didn't dare to refute.
Xia Fei was speechless. This was the first time in his life that he felt that it was so difficult to prove that he was a human.
"First, Earth has already formed the Earth Federation government according to the requirements of the Pan-Human Alliance. Second, the probability of us opening our seventh brain region has already reached 1 in a million. Third."
Xia Fei was stunned for a moment before he sighed. "Forget it. What's the use of me arguing with you? What does it have to do with me whether Earth is a civilized planet or not? "
The red-haired beauty smiled with a playful expression. "How can you say that it has nothing to do with you? After all, Earth is your home planet, even though it is a little primitive and backward."
Xia Fei stood up and stretched his body. "So what if Earth is a high-grade civilization? Even if the government has money, they won't give it to me. Don't I still have to work every day and pay taxes and rent on time? "
He used his eyes to look at the badge on the red-haired beauty's chest. "Eh? Adjudicator! You are actually an Adjudicator! No wonder Fatty Connor is so afraid of you. "
Connor glared at Xia Fei but didn't refute. Xia Fei was right. He was just a police chief of a class 1 civilized planet and wasn't even comparable to an ant in front of an Adjudicator. Furthermore, this beauty was a 3-star Silver rank Adjudicator.
"Hehe, a primitive man like you also knows about Adjudicators?" The red-haired beauty didn't think much of it.
"Last year, the Adjudicator Union established a branch on Earth. I heard that Adjudicators are one of the most noble occupations in the universe. As for how noble it is, I don't know. In short, Adjudicators are all very wealthy people."
Connor said with disdain, "As expected of a primitive man from an uncivilized planet. How noble is the Lord Adjudicator? How can he be compared to vulgar money?"
He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to bootlick this beautiful Adjudicator.
"Adjudicators and Monastics are known as the two super occupations. They have priority to use most of the public facilities and can freely enter many planets that aren't open to the public. Furthermore, they enjoy an interest-free loan of one million star coins and don't even need a mortgage."
"Once a criminal is defined by the Adjudicator Union, the Adjudicators have the authority to execute the criminal directly and aren't restricted by any laws. Every Adjudicator has one ultimate execution right. Even if they use their execution right to kill a president, they won't be prosecuted."
"Any act of killing an Adjudicator will be considered as a declaration of war against the entire Adjudicator Union. The criminal will be blacklisted by the Adjudicator Union and will be pursued for eternity. They won't rest until they are dead!"
Xia Fei was attracted by the unimaginable privileges of the Adjudicator Union. His eyes lit up. "I understand now. Adjudicators are rich people who aren't restricted by laws! How do I become an Adjudicator? "
"Ha, a caveman like you who hasn't even unlocked your seventh brain region actually wants to become an Adjudicator? This is the biggest joke I've heard in my life. " The red-haired beauty said with a hint of arrogance, "I still have other matters to attend to. Little brother, goodbye."
After saying that, the red-haired beauty turned around and left. Fatty Connor immediately ran over and eagerly opened the metal door for her.
The red-haired beauty walked to the door and suddenly stopped. "That's not right. You are a caveman. We probably won't have a chance to meet again."
Xia Fei didn't care about her arrogant words. His brain was spinning rapidly.
"Hold it." Xia Fei had already made up his mind. He quickly chased to the door and calmly asked, "I would like to know how you are going to deal with me."
The red-haired beauty looked at Connor indifferently.
"Of course, we are going to send you back. Do you expect us to take care of you for the rest of your life?" Connor said unhappily.
The corner of Xia Fei's lips curled up as he unhurriedly extended a hand. I was innocently captured and brought here by you lot. Because of your mistake, I've wasted fifteen days and eight hours of my precious time. You'll have to compensate me for my financial and emotional losses.
Compensation for losses?
"You!" Connor said with an ashen face, "Brat, don't forget that we have installed a translation chip on you. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to understand our language or read our words. Do you know how much a translation chip is worth? You are just a human from a 0.5 civilized planet. Even if you don't eat or drink and work for a hundred years, you still won't be able to afford this translation chip! "
Xia Fei suddenly realized as he reached out his hand to touch his neck. There was a shallow red scar on the back of his neck, which was the result of installing the translation chip.
"Many thanks for your reminder. I nearly forgot about this matter. I still have to add on the compensation for bodily injuries. It's not like I begged you to install this chip. Do you know how painful it is to install this thing?"
Connor hated Xia Fei's insatiable behavior and wished that he could strangle Xia Fei to death. He helplessly looked at the red-haired beauty. "What do you think about this matter?"
The red-haired beauty raised her head and had a happy smile on her face. She was very amused by Xia Fei's words.
"This is the matter of the secret police. What does it have to do with me?"
Immediately after, she added, "However, this matter is your fault. You should indeed give a certain amount of compensation."
Connor smiled. "Yes, yes, yes. You are right. Our secret police is also an organization with rules. It has always been our style to correct our mistakes."
"We will pay you 300 star coins per day as compensation. Based on 16 days, it will be a total of 4,800 star coins. You should be satisfied with this, right?" Connor clenched his teeth as he spoke to Xia Fei.
4,800 star coins was a large sum of wealth when converted to Earth's currency. The star coin was one of the universal currencies in the universe, and it was completely incomparable to the Earth's Federation dollars. Who would be foolish enough to use star coins to exchange for the currency of a 0.5 civilized planet?
Xia Fei shook his head. "I feel that it is more reasonable for you to compensate me with a bottle of gene optimization fluid."
"What?!" Connor's expression changed. "Why don't you just ask for a spaceship?!"
The red-haired beauty chuckled by the side. She admired Xia Fei's whimsical idea. "This is indeed a brilliant idea. With the gene optimization fluid, you can forcefully open up your seventh brain region and optimize your body's functions. Perhaps, you might really become a strong expert."
"Most importantly, it is very difficult to buy gene optimization fluid on a 0.5 planet even if you have the money. Primitive man, I have to admit that you are quite smart." The red-haired beauty's eyes lit up as she said, "Chief Connor, are you planning to satisfy his request?"
Connor's plump face was distorted from anger. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of something.
"Hehe, it's just a small matter." Fatty Connor had a cunning smile. "Isn't it just a bottle of gene optimization fluid? I will get someone to send it over later."
Xia Fei couldn't believe his ears. It was only when Connor and the red-haired beauty disappeared at the end of the corridor that he came to a realization.
"Damn it. I miscalculated this time. It seems like the legendary gene optimization fluid is a very cheap thing here. I should have asked for two more bottles." Xia Fei was a little upset as he muttered to himself.
Connor respectfully sent the red-haired beauty out of the Secret Police Headquarters.
"Did you really agree to give him a bottle of gene optimization fluid? Do you know that the cheapest one would cost at least 50,000 star coins? "The red-haired beauty asked with slight astonishment.
Connor patted his stomach forcefully. Actually, he wanted to pat his chest, but it was a pity that everything below his head was his stomach.
"We are, after all, the Secret Police. We can still afford this bit of money. We have wronged him for so long, so we have to compensate him, right?" Connor boasted shamelessly.
The red-haired beauty smiled. With her status, she didn't need to care about such a small matter. She nimbly jumped onto a red convertible sports car and disappeared at the end of the street without turning her head back.
Connor returned to his office on the 26th floor and sat on his oversized swivel chair while revealing a sinister smile.
He used his plump fingers to press a button on the table, and a screen suddenly appeared on the table.
In the screen was a black-clothed man in his thirties. His lean body was like a bamboo pole and looked very capable.
"Chief, what's the matter?" The slender man asked.
"Hei Nan, I remember that we investigated a batch of smuggled gene optimization fluid yesterday, right?"
"Yes. There is a total of 74 bottles of gene optimization fluid, and they don't have any place of origin or label. I suspect that this batch of fluid is counterfeit."
"Very good!" Fatty Connor had a naughty smile on his face. "Give that Earth kid in the B7 floor a bottle. Don't say anything and let him consume it after he returns to Earth."
Hei Nan frowned. "Chief, this batch of fluid has an unknown origin, and the test report isn't out yet. If we let him consume it, he might die."
Connor slammed the table angrily. "What you need to do is to obey and not question. Do as I say and get someone to send him back to that damned Earth."
Pa!
Without waiting for Hei Nan to reply, Connor immediately switched off the screen.
"Kid, you asked for it." Connor muttered to himself with a ruthless expression on his face.
A few hours later, Xia Fei carried a box containing the gene optimization fluid and boarded the spaceship to return home.
At the same time, the communication screen in the office of Blue Sea Planet's Secret Police Chief, Connor, suddenly switched on.
"Chief, it's not good! The research report is out. That batch of gene optimization fluid is Amethyst! "The slender Hei Nan said anxiously.
Connor was slightly stunned. "What Amethyst?"
In the screen, Hei Nan was rubbing his palms anxiously. "Chief, Amethyst is a super gene optimization fluid invented by a top scientist, Harris, 13 years ago. It is said that researching this gene optimization fluid took him 60 years of painstaking effort. However, in the clinical trial, all 179 people who participated in the experiment died after consuming the Amethyst gene optimization fluid! Harris had also fled to avoid punishment. How is this a gene optimization fluid? It is simply the most toxic poison! "
Connor nodded his head as though he was enlightened. "I remember now. Isn't this gene optimization fluid classified as a banned drug in the universe? How did it end up in the market? Send those smugglers to the Planetary Security Bureau. This time, they are dead meat! "
"Yes, understood!" Hei Nan looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. "What about that youth?"
