old light morning light

"Lin Man."

"Ok?"

There is an ominous premonition, and if I insist on saying it, it is like...

It's like when those elders suddenly call your name formally, most of them have the feeling that disaster is imminent.

But Kalinin just called my name, and didn't make any other noises, just staring at the visitor who had just landed.

That's right, this guy suddenly appeared in front of me, probably because he needs me for something.

I can vaguely hear the sound of music coming from the distance, but there is actually music?
I couldn't tell what kind of music it was, but I saw some people who looked like black dots lining up, and it seemed like they were preparing to welcome something in this scene.

Due to the distance, it is still clear to observe large objects such as starships, but it is somewhat difficult to distinguish them when observing things such as "people".

"Gapor."

What to add?
Kalinin muttered in a low voice, but hesitantly my attention was not on him anymore, so I didn't actually hear what he said clearly.

"See that man in white going down the boat?"

Kalinin pointed in the distance, but I'm sorry, except...it seems that there is indeed a small white dot clustered among some small black dots.

"Some sources indicate that Gabor, an independent galaxy that has submitted an application to the alliance, will send officials to visit the alliance in the near future, but... it should be for unity, right?"

As if thinking of something, Kalinin fell into deep thought again.

But judging from what he just said, it seems to be... wait, I seem to have heard the name Gabor.

An independent galaxy with a light industrial civilization, mainly relying on the stable development of the neutral galaxy within the galaxy. Not long ago, because the neighboring galaxy was occupied and colonized by the empire, it submitted an application to the alliance out of concern.

Of course, this is all news published by the media of the alliance, and it is possible that the empire can still see the news that it joined because of the coercion of the alliance by force.

The visitor may be an official sent by the galaxy, but why would such an official board a special combat ship of the Alliance Navy and then land on the Prince's Seat?
Although Emerald IV can be regarded as a relatively important planet in this area, and it can also be regarded as the economic, cultural and political center of this area, but... if you think about it this way, it is not unreasonable to investigate.

But why is it a special warship of the Alliance?
Also, is there any connection between this and the previous riots and attacks on campus?

"If you think something is wrong, shall we go down and have a look?"

Rather than squatting on this hillside, it is better to drive directly down to see this scene directly, right?
"No, no need."

"Lin Man...?"

Why did he suddenly call me again, and then fell silent again?

"what happened?"

Hey hey, what are you doing!

Just call me and don't speak, is it difficult to say something all at once?
Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It must not be something simple. If you can't speak, I have to find a way to be prepared to refuse!
"You have to study harder recently."

Ok……

So you held back for a long time, just to call me to study hard?

Where are you from, a parent of a middle school student? Hello!
"Do you know 'Blue Willow'?"

Blue Willow, like the previous Morning Dew Group, also belongs to one of the five top student groups on campus, and the industries and main subjects it controls seem to be chemistry and some biology facilities.

"Slightly heard."

Also, think about it, after all, they are all famous top student groups, and they are all the kind that can give priority to...

Wait, he doesn't want me to join this so-called Blue Willow, does he?
"So you remind me to study hard, right?"

If you don't answer me, then it can be regarded as the default in this case.

But here comes the problem. If you want to enter this so-called Blue Willow, even if I study hard from the beginning, I may not be able to guarantee it. You are talking about this with me who basically missed half of the courses?

"Wait a minute, do you yourself know what a blue willow is?"

"Let's not say what the purpose is, but are you sure that I, a sick person, really have hope to be admitted to this top group?"

I even wear the hospital admission bracelet on my hand. If there is no accident, I will be fine if I stay in the hospital for the entire preparatory period, okay?
"So you have to study harder."

Please, is this something I can do by studying harder?
You don't want to give others the goals you take for granted, okay?
Even if I get full marks in all subjects, I don't necessarily have hope, not to mention I definitely can't get full marks in the test now!

I almost sprayed this guy's face with a mouthful of old blood. Do you think that students nowadays are very relaxed? If I can do well in the exam by just learning casually, then others will only do better in the exam.

"I believe you."

Don't talk lightly about this cheap chicken blood, it's not even chicken blood!

"But I don't necessarily believe in myself..."

With this look, it seems that you can't bargain with this guy now?
Gee!
Damn it, I can only agree temporarily, and then make plans later.

"Okay, I see, I'll try to work hard."

Now that I have agreed to it temporarily, I have to quickly talk about it, lest he think of something to ask me all of a sudden, and then it will be difficult to bargain.

"So this incident has something to do with the immediate and previous riots?"

"Conjecture, so verification is required."

"So I entered Blue Willow to verify something?"

An embarrassing silence followed, and Kalinin narrowed his eyes again to look at the crowd gradually gathering in the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

Now I can see the person in white clothes, surrounded by some people, and seems to be having a conversation with someone on the other side.

You were still shaking hands just now, was it a handshake?
After all, the etiquette in many regions is not consistent. From such a long-distance observation, it may not necessarily be a handshake.

"Let's go, it's probably not interesting."

Please, if you have figured it out, can you tell me something, I think it is really meaningless to plot against me with a purpose like this!

This guy, he planned to bring me here a long time ago. What he said before, that there are too many people in the hospital is just an excuse.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that he must not have no news about the previous attack, he must have some evidence, or be a suspect or something.

Seeing the visiting envoys today, I may have thought about some links before finally having a slightly more specific goal.

"Don't you want to say something to me?"

This guy looked worried, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, which was quite different from the relaxed feeling before, obviously thinking of something not so wonderful.

"Know 'Plan F'?"

Plan F?

"Obviously, no idea."

"In layman's terms, it's a plan to transform and strengthen soldiers. You should see similar things in many film and television works, right?"

Um... what kind of vulgar and old-fashioned routine?
"Reform people or something?"

"Yes and no, but it's hard to explain clearly to you in one sentence or two."

"It was a product of an arms race that was halted decades ago because of ethical violations. Although a certain amount of resources were invested, the final results were only a handful."

Is it because it violates ethics... or because the results produced are very few...?

"An old project that was stopped decades ago, what is the connection with the present?"

"It is very likely that the things that broke into your hideout during the riots have something to do with this plan."

Speaking of this, Kalinin seemed to relax a bit, as if he suddenly remembered, he quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"You mean..."

"There are people pushing something behind the scenes, and they're very close to us and almost in sight."

"There are some things I can't tell you yet, but generally we have the clues to deal with it. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for providing valuable and meaningful information."

Meaningful intelligence?
Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, my goal is just to be able to live comfortably.

Wait a minute, so...

"Is that so, do you want to offer me some reward?"

"Or intelligence fees?"

"You've lost money, kid, haven't you?"

"You still want to pay me for the information. Have you watched too many spy movies and are you going to play a small theater with me here?"

Damn, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What's annoying is that this guy is still mocking me!
"It must have been a bit of hard work... You see, I was also injured all over, and I didn't deserve any credit, right..."

"No hard work either!"

cut!
"Oh, but speaking of injuries, the pistol may not be available to you for a while. You open the storage box in front, and there is a small-caliber hand cannon from Nova in it. You can use it first."

Kalinin elbowed the locker in front of me, signaling that my stuff was in there.

Nova, a small caliber hand cannon.

A weapon in the shape of a pistol that cannot be named is impressively displayed.

A pistol is a pistol, what else is it called a small-caliber hand cannon?

There are three more bullets next to it... What kind of bullet is this, such a big one?
"Only three bullets can be loaded at a time, and the non-linear fusion rifle bullet is used. Although it has little power at a long distance, it can cause devastating damage at close range."

"Be careful, this thing is dangerous, don't hurt yourself."

Non-linear fusion rifle ammunition?

Learned a new noun.

But if you can only load three rounds at a time, the magazine is... empty, then if you add the three bullets next to it, won't you only give me three chances to fire in total?
Should... you can buy its ammunition separately, right?
