TLCBITAR Chapter 195

Chapter 195 I Am Not a Star Robber

The huge bar was silent. Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but hold his breath and slowly turned his head, only to see the person’s sharply curved jawline.

The first thought that popped into his mind was: So tall.

He quickly took a few steps back, his phoenix eyes widened, and he looked fixedly at the person who shouldn’t be here.

The man was about 195 cm tall. The brim of his black military cap covered his dark, fragmented hair, and below were his deep-set eyebrows and eyes. His dark eyes were as deep and cold as a cold pool, making people afraid to look directly at them.

His facial features were sharp and distinct, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face, utterly calm.

The black military uniform and boots made him appear even taller and straighter, exuding an aura that said, “Stay away.”

“Ah! It’s the General!”

In the corner of the bar, a sharp female voice broke the silence.

Some people who had been drinking mistakenly thought they were dreaming and boldly approached the man.

However, before they could get within three meters, they were stopped by federal soldiers holding long guns.

Zhou Zhou swallowed. He had just mentioned the General today, and here he was. What a coincidence.

He slowly moved his feet, continuing to back away, trying to subtly move out of the other’s line of sight.

[As expected, someone who is tall has a strong aura, like a turtle.]

[Damn it, why is he staring at me?!]

The man frowned almost imperceptibly, a trace of doubt flashing quickly in his eyes.

The male voice that appeared in his mind, was it this person’s inner voice?

His eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice that brooked no refusal, “Everyone here, open the identity verification interface on your light brains.”

The man’s voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an electric current, making people’s ears tingle.

At this moment, a handsome man with a pale complexion walked out from the soldiers. He looked around and said loudly, “Please cooperate with our inspection. At 6:20 PM tonight, we received a notification from the border that a team of five Star Robbers, disguised as citizens from a neighboring star, entered a civilian starship and arrived near Bar Street. Our General received the news and rushed over at the first moment.”

“The Star Robbers are very likely carrying explosive devices or other highly destructive items. For the safety of the public, please do not make any futile struggles. Those who resist will be directly treated as Star Robbers!”

“Now, please open your light brain identity interfaces within one minute. We will screen you one by one.” The handsome man’s gaze fell on Zhou Zhou, who was relatively close, and he frowned and scolded, “Open your light brain. Stop staring blankly at the General!”

[Tsk, what kind of eyes do you have? Am I staring blankly?]

[Who exactly is staring at me? Look at your General. Don’t tell me he thinks I’m a Star Robber?]

Zhou Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his eyes slightly, and his body couldn’t help but tense up. He didn’t dare to look at him again.

He quickly opened his light brain and clicked on his personal information. The handsome man was about to walk over to verify it, but he was interrupted by the General.

“I’ll do it.” Pei Yanlie raised his hand, glanced indifferently at his subordinate, and said in a cold, calm voice.

The handsome man was stunned, forgetting to respond. He just stared blankly as the General walked up to the star-like-looking boy.

The surrounding people gasped. They had only seen the General’s videos on the Star Network before. Tonight, they actually witnessed him in person, and their hearts were extremely shaken. Excitement was written all over their faces.

However, they all pursed their lips tightly, or covered their mouths with their hands, afraid of letting out a scream.

Their gazes followed the General’s movements, and envious, jealous, and hateful eyes were cast on Zhou Zhou.

Being able to come into close contact with the General was the wish of all Main Star citizens.

Zhou Zhou looked at the man who was half a head taller than him and couldn’t help but swallow. The pressure emanating from the other party was so low that he couldn’t relax at all, and his back was tense.

[General Pei, I’m a handsome young man. How could I be a Star Robber? There’s no need for you to personally check me!]

“Raise your head.” A cold, deep voice suddenly drilled into his ear.

Zhou Zhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes meeting Pei Yanlie’s unfathomable gaze.

“Look, I’m a good citizen who abides by the law.” Zhou Zhou couldn’t stand his extremely aggressive gaze and decided to make a quick decision. He raised his left hand, which had a wristband on it, to make it easier for the man opposite him to check.

Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes and looked at the personal information interface, his gaze sweeping over the trajectory map below.

According to the trajectory, it could be seen that in the past six months, this boy named Zhou Zhou had been moving back and forth between multiple neighboring stars for the first three months. But in the past two months, he had been staying at the Main Star Federal Hospital.

Thinking of what Director Yao had said, he guessed that Zhou Zhou was that special case.

Time rewinds to an hour ago, inside the A1 special care ward on the 36th floor of the Federal Hospital.

With the help of the researchers, the man lying on the bed successfully woke up.

The memories of the people trapped in the future interstellar era were sealed in the depths of their minds. Director Yao estimated that it would only take about ten days to restore their memories.

However, some trapped people gave up the opportunity to return and still stayed in that world.

Among the five soldiers who went to help, two stayed there.

They were held back by the characters in the book. For the sake of love, they would rather give up their future selves. It could be said that their feelings were sincere and touching, making people sigh with emotion.

The opportunity to return only came once. If they missed it, they could only stay in that virtual world forever.

If one day the Federation Association disregarded their safety and forcibly destroyed the small world, they could only obediently wait to die.

Director Yao didn’t know much, but he still endured his excitement and explained the beginning and the end of the matter to the General.

Since Yuan Heng’s memory was also gone, no one knew that in the depths of the General’s heart, there was a boy he loved so deeply.

Pei Yanlie’s expression was stern. He lowered his eyes and looked at his slender fingers with calluses. He only felt an emptiness in his heart, as if something was missing.

Thinking of the lost memory, he frowned, pursed his lips, and unconsciously clenched his hand into a fist.

For the first time in thirty years, he felt this inexplicable emotion. Irritability gradually spread, and the uncontrollable feeling filled his mind, making his eyes turn red and giving rise to a violent emotion.

The ward was silent. Director Yao and others paled, almost unable to withstand General Pei’s aura, and their legs went weak.

Coincidentally, news of Star Robbers entering the country came at this time. They were very close to the Federal Hospital. Pei Yanlie stood up, his tall figure standing out among the crowd, very conspicuous.

Ignoring the doctor’s dissuasion, he changed into the military uniform that his subordinates brought and led the army towards Bar Street.

Only by throwing himself into work could he throw the strange feeling in his heart to the back of his mind.

However, from the moment he arrived at the bar and saw this boy, a strange feeling suddenly arose.

In his mind, the boy’s voice was pleasant and seductive, like a fox spirit bewitching people. His clear and bright phoenix eyes were now wide, and the corners of his eyes were red, looking at himself in disbelief.

[Let go. Why are you grabbing me for no reason?! I’m not a Star Robber!]

Zhou Zhou wanted to pull his hand back, but the other party was holding it very tightly, so tightly that his bones were about to break.

[It hurts, let go!]

Pei Yanlie came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and looked at his hand, which he didn’t know when he had grabbed the boy’s wrist, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you here at the bar?”
