Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 689 Worried Aslan
In the hangar of Ptolemy II, seeing that Luna did not open the cockpit door immediately after parking the MS, Athrun, who had received the information in advance, looked at the expression of Shin Asuka on the screen who seemed to want to say something but was hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he decided to give it a push.

"Zhen, you go check the situation. I'll continue to stand by here."

"Eh? I see."

As the commander of the Celestial Beings, Aslan had already noticed the ambiguity between the three little guys. After all, seriously speaking, he just didn't succeed with Lacus, which didn't mean that Master Sara was a pure boy.

During the time when Mia was pretending to be Lacus, Aslan took the initiative to invite her to dinner many times. However, Mia at that time was thinking about how to return to Orb and snatch a man after she became successful. After being rejected many times, Aslan gave up the idea.

At this moment, his small boost actually contains a lot of his own thoughts. Judging from the backgrounds of several pilots in Tianren, those who belong to PLANT are obviously him, Shin Asuka, Luna and a CIC Meiling.

Under this personnel structure, once Kotori and Stella become partners, Luna's situation will become a little delicate. She is the weakest link in the MS team and will most likely apply to leave the team if she is not persuaded to do so.

At the same time, Aslan was well aware that some technical officials headed by Senator Amalfi had already started in-depth cooperation with Orb, which meant that after Lacus succeeded as Speaker in the future, the two sides would already have a certain basis for cooperation. However, there were still some voices in the Council that refused to acknowledge the result of defeat.

In addition, the People's Revolutionary League election is imminent, and almost everyone's attention, from the earth to the universe, is focused on the election. Judging from Mina's current support rate, the political force that Luo Pan relies on has almost no choice but to wait for death.

But Aslan would never leave the weight of victory or defeat to time. In his opinion, it was a ridiculous false proposition that the compass would sit and wait for death, just like Durandal would give up his destiny plan.

Therefore, he personally preferred to let Kotori and Luna establish a relationship, so that at least Kotori could be kept in an impartial position. Otherwise, if he were to be with Stella, Aslan couldn't even imagine what would happen if these two stubborn guys, plus Siegfried, activated their "power of thinking".

Putting aside Athrun's complicated thoughts, Shin, who had already arrived next to the Impulse Gundam, was still hesitating with a confused look on his face whether he should politely knock on the hatch a few times first. As a result, Athrun's urging of "I'm disappointed in you" came through the headset again.

"Ask quickly!"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Ask whatever you want! Do I need to teach you?"

"Oh, what's so fierce about that?"

Approaching the cockpit of the Impulse Gundam again, Shin, as the former pilot, knew very well that this was the location of the external microphone. This time he did not hesitate and said directly: "Luna, what happened?"

As if to answer Shin Asuka's question, Luna finally opened the cabin door. Perhaps she remembered the previous scene again during the return flight. Her slightly red eyes under her burgundy short hair completely betrayed her.

"Luna?"

The boy had never experienced such a situation before. In Xiaoniao's memory, he seemed to have never seen Luna so vulnerable. Feeling helpless and panicked, Zhen was stunned on the elevator for a while.

As a result, Marduk below couldn't bear to watch, so he controlled the elevator to make a sharp rise and fall, and successfully fired the real bullet into the cockpit of the Pulse, and then directly closed the hatch through the maintenance table. After seeing the bird successfully enter the cabin, Aslan once again focused his attention on the intelligence in Berlin. According to the news from Mu in the front, the Compass was only an empty shell in Berlin. Except for a black knight, the only combatants left in the entire Compass were Shura and Daniel, and Daniel was a photocopy.

"scapegoat?"

As the captain, Mari also received a copy of the intelligence. Like Aslan, she relied on the strong psychological quality of a professional soldier to force herself to skip over the dark and bloody content.

However, when she saw the deaths of Shura and Daniel, Mariu was forced to think of what happened to the Archangel in Alaska, and the word "scapegoat" appeared directly in her mind.

"If it was just Daniel, it might work, but with Shura's fighting skills, even I can hardly guarantee victory. Such a trump card is not something that any force can casually use to kill."

At the founding ceremony of the Compass, Aslan piloted the Immortal Justice to fight against Shura's Black Knight Destruction.

Although the performance of Immortal Justice could not compare with the killer weapon that Hilde later gave him, the Black Knight Destruction also used up the disposable short needle projection system at that time. In the end, neither side could do anything to the other, and because of this incident, Aslan was severely ridiculed by Siegfried.

"Based on the copying technology that Hilde analyzed, it should be unlikely that a Tuner of Shura's level could be copied. So excluding the possibility of a replacement, is he really dead?"

Relying on the information ND brought out from the library, Hilde cracked the old version of the photocopying technology. She found that this black technology was not as omnipotent as the legend said. Not to mention the basic condition of requiring living human samples, the biggest flaw was that there were certain limitations on the strength of the photocopied individuals.

As the head of Orb Technology, Hilde had tried several virtual copy tests with Veda, and the genetic samples used came from Kira Yamato, the strongest adjuster.

As a result, no matter how Veda changes the data model, the success rate cannot be increased to more than 1%. This is based on the premise that Hilde has Kira's complete physical data and part of Dr. Hibiki's scientific research legacy.

So she concluded that the upper limit of what the remnants of the library could replicate was Lou Lu Cruze, a patchwork monster that was both a purely man-made product and had certain defects.

"I still don't think they will let such a high-end fighter die so easily. Moreover, Uncle Mu has the video. Daniel tried to resist arrest and was shot dead. It was not us who shot Shura. Although his death in Berlin will cause a little trouble to Tianren, in the final analysis, this little trick will not stop us from investigating to the end."

Although he didn't know why Shura committed suicide, Aslan's intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Fortunately, they successfully obtained a complete Black Knight on this trip. The beam cloak is a stain that the compass cannot wash away. In front of the gods who have already initiated independent investigation powers, any tiny flaw will be infinitely magnified until all the disguises are completely torn off. What remains is nothing more than how to remove this cancer.

"Anyway, let's send the Black Knight back to Orb first. The beam cloak alone is enough to convict Luo Pan. But before Mina is successfully elected, there are still people in the People's Revolutionary League who are protecting Luo Pan. Unfortunately, we are an independent armed force, and the People's Revolutionary League has no jurisdiction over us. The space they can maneuver is getting smaller and smaller."

After closing the communication screen with Mari, Aslan looked at Berlin on the screen, which was coated with a layer of golden light by the setting sun. For some reason, the figure of his friend suddenly appeared in his mind. Kira seemed to have disappeared completely since the riot in the Scandinavian Kingdom.

"Kira, don't do anything stupid."
