my stealth fighter

798 Meteor
When the door of the dormitory was knocked, Marikina was so frightened that she almost dropped her mobile phone on the ground.

"...who?" she asked tremblingly.

"Open the door." The voice outside the door said, it was the instructor who was in charge of the daily life of these reserve girls.

Marikina was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly, and her heartbeat was irregular. She frantically tried to hide the phone, but then she thought it was given to her by the general, and there was no need to hide it. All she had to do was delete the call history she just made That's it.

"Come... here we are, wait a moment!" She said to the door, swallowing her saliva and deleting the record with trembling fingers.

In just a few seconds, it seemed like a century had passed. As soon as the record was deleted, she rushed to open the door.

"What are you doing? Why did it take so long to open the door?" The instructor at the door flashed his eyes and looked into the room.

The dormitory only has a room of a few square meters, and there is no bathroom. The sink and toilet are on one side of the room, the bed is on the other side, the small wardrobe and desk are on the other side, and the door is on the last side. It is clear at a glance. It's not much different from a single cell in a prison.

"I was sleeping just now." Marikina said guiltily.

"Sleeping?" The instructor glanced at the messy bedding on the bed.

"Well, I'm a little tired." Marikina forced a smile.

The instructor looked at her smooth forehead again, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"Uh... I was having a nightmare, but luckily you knocked on the door and pulled me out of the nightmare." Marikina answered wisely in a hurry.

The suspicion in the eyes of the instructors has subsided. This reason is more convincing, because it is very common for these girls who have left their hometowns since childhood and suffered drastic changes to have nightmares. Some people often wake up from the nightmares screaming in the middle of the night, and by the way, the neighboring dormitory The people are also very frightened.

"The general is looking for you." The instructor finally said the reason for knocking on the door.

"Ah? Now?" Marikina froze for a moment.

"What? Isn't it convenient for you?" The instructor frowned.

"No, that's not what I meant..." Marikina hurriedly clarified. She peeked at the instructor's face and asked cautiously, "Why is the general looking for me? I can make preparations in advance..."

"The general didn't say anything, you can go there now." The instructor interrupted coldly.

"...Okay, I'll go over after I change my clothes." Marikina gestured to her sweaty pajamas.

"Hurry up, don't keep the general waiting." The instructor snorted, turned and left.

Marikina confirmed that the instructor had left, and gently closed the door, finally breathing a sigh of relief, temporarily.

Before the instructor knocked on the door, she was trying to call Jiang Chanji, but she couldn't get through after calling several times, indicating that the other party was not in the service area. It stands to reason that Jiang Chanji and the others would choose a location where they can receive cell phone signals to camp, so why couldn't they get in touch all of a sudden?She wanted to "see" what Jiang Chanji was doing through telepathy, but just as she was concentrating, the instructor knocked on the door, scaring her to death, thinking her secret had been exposed.

Although she managed to fool the instructor away, she still wasn't completely relieved, because she didn't know what the general was looking for her for. This mobile phone was given to her by the general. She didn't know whether the mobile phone was monitored. If it was the general from the beginning If she is fishing for law enforcement and chooses to close the net now, then she is really going to die and has nothing to say... In fact, she dared to contact Jiang Chanji privately because she felt that the general would never expect her to call someone else, after all, she was born here I'm not familiar, and I don't even have a phone number outside the test station. Who can I call?But what if the general actually tapped her cell phone?

With extreme anxiety, she changed out of her pajamas and put on a military uniform, left the dormitory, and went to the general's office on the top floor.

A guard and orderly stood at the door of the general's office. Seeing Marikina's arrival, he opened the door for her and said, "The general is on the balcony. Don't disturb the general."

Marikina nodded, and as soon as she entered the office, she felt the cold wind blowing from the direction of the balcony.

The general stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky intently.

Marikina only took a quick glance at the general's back, then quickly looked away, she was afraid that the thing on the general's body would notice the abnormality in her vision.

Since the guard had warned her not to disturb the general, she could only wait in silence, and of course she did not dare to sit casually.

After standing for a while, the wind on the balcony was really cold. She couldn't help wondering what the general was looking at. She thought that the general was tired from work and came to the balcony to relax his mind and eyes, but it didn't seem to be the case. There is something good in the sky that needs So focused?
She also raised her eyes to the sky, the weather today is very clear, the sky is like a blue-black gem, there are few places in the world where the sky is so pure and transparent.

what!meteor!

She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

Don't blame her for making a fuss, she really saw a shooting star for the first time.

Modern people in today's society are too busy, busy staring at the future, busy staring at the mobile phone screen, after get off work at night, they either go to nightlife, or rush home to play mobile phones and watch videos. Who has the leisure to stay outside and watch the night sky? Besides, the light pollution in the city is so Seriously, even if there were shooting stars, she might not be able to see them. What's more, Marikina couldn't talk about a happy childhood and adolescence. It was a problem to have enough food and clothing. She was not in the mood to look up at the starry sky, let alone saw a shooting star.

When you see a shooting star, should you hurry up and make a wish?

She was only stunned for a moment, and the meteor disappeared into the sky. Is it still useful to make a wish at this time?
Before she could feel regret and frustration, another shooting star flew past her head.

Huh?Is today a good day?
Then, another shooting star.

She stared at the sky dumbfounded. This... is the legendary meteor shower?
Her knowledge of astronomy is relatively limited, and it comes from the popular science magazines and book boxes in the dormitory. She didn't pay attention to whether there is a meteor shower forecast recently, so is the general watching the meteor shower?Didn't expect the general to have such a hobby?
But wait, if it is a meteor shower, these meteors should appear from the same area of ​​the sky, such as the Leonid meteor shower, the reason why it is named is because the meteors contained in this meteor shower are concentrated in the position of Leo, and then flow towards the sky. Radiating in all directions, and the "meteor shower" at this time, the location of the meteors is very messy, they come from any position in the sky, she has never heard of such a meteor shower, and if it is a meteor shower, the density of the meteors is too thin , sometimes every few seconds, sometimes every half a minute, and sometimes even longer.

Marikina's limited astronomical knowledge really doesn't understand the current situation. In fact, let alone she doesn't understand, even if a senior astronomer is present, she will be confused, because this is not an ordinary scientific theory that can explain it. The phenomenon.

After a while, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the general's shoulders slump. The general rubbed his stiff neck and turned around slowly, and she quickly looked away.

"You're here, sit down." The general closed the balcony door casually, and returned to the room, his voice seemed to be full of weariness.

Marikina was even more surprised. Even if the general was admiring the meteor shower, he should be in a relaxed state. Why does it sound so tired?
Taking advantage of the few seconds when the general walked to the desk, she sneaked a peek at the general, and saw that the general was really tired, and even looked weak, as if the general was not admiring the starry sky on the balcony just now, but had just finished a run. Going to a marathon, or recovering from a serious illness.

Usually the general even has a very straight sitting posture, standing up, sitting down, with the demeanor of a model soldier, but now the general is almost paralyzed in the seat, as if his body has been hollowed out.

"General... are you okay?"

Although Marikina was afraid of the thing on the general, she couldn't help but care about the general's physical condition.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

The general pressed the beeper on the table, ordered the kitchen to give him a temporary extra meal, and asked Marikina if she wanted to eat, but the latter said no.

When the general was talking to the cooking soldiers in the kitchen, Malijina was thinking wildly in her mind. She didn't know how the general made herself so tired and weak, but in a sense... this is for Jiang Chanji and his plan. It's good news, right?After all, she heard that generals under normal circumstances are almost invincible, but she was also worried that Jiang Chanji and the others would "take advantage of your illness and kill you"?In addition, she couldn't get through to Jiang Chanji's phone number, and she couldn't tell him the news.

"Those two people, have you made any new progress in the past two days?" While waiting for the meal, the general asked.

"Not yet..." Marikina shook her head against her will. In fact, she had been giving the language teacher wrong guesses for the past two days. Of course, there was nothing useful to analyze.

The general pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, you don't need to do this anymore."

Marikina thought the general was disappointed in her, she blushed with mixed feelings, wanted to argue but didn't know what to say.

The general seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and explained: "This matter is not important anymore, there is no need to waste time on them."

Is that right?

Marikina felt a little better, but she still didn't understand the reason. The general paid so much attention to this matter before, what happened to make the general change his mind?Or is there something more important about to happen?
The fast food was ready in the kitchen, and the delivery man knocked on the door.

"If you have nothing else to report, you can go back, I want to eat something first." The general ordered.

Marikina stood up in a daze, saluted, left the office full of doubts, and returned to the dormitory.

After she went back, she wanted to call Jiang Chanji again, but found that her mobile phone had no signal.
