old light morning light

Chapter 64 "22"

In the end, after the few people talked for a while, they left the scene without doing anything else.

The "Major" has also been casting strange glances at me. Although it doesn't seem so obvious, maybe he is still suspicious of something?

I also know that in this situation, I seem too calm and calm.

You know, the "Major" has witnessed my crazy state before.

"you are interesting."

Just after the person who brought me here motioned to me to go back with him, the middle-aged man beside him suddenly stood up and walked towards me slowly.

That arrogant guy seemed to be this person's assistant or secretary. He obviously wanted to say something just now, but was pushed back by his eyes.

"Hello."

As for the interesting speech, it's better not to talk to him casually until you understand his intentions.

My current feeling is that this guy should have a higher status than everyone present, maybe he is the one who can talk here.

Judging from the fact that it was actually his followers who came to me instead of the so-called "Major", at least these people should have nothing to say in front of him.

And from this point, it can be seen that his personality may be rather strange, and he will let the people around him do this kind of leading the way.

...It's no wonder that this guy didn't breathe a sigh of relief, and put on an arrogant posture all the way.

"Don't worry, I know you."

After the visitor approached me in silence, he suddenly said such a word quietly beside me, and then walked out of the room directly.

know me?
This guy looks strange to me. Although he looks handsome when he smiles, I really can't squeeze out any memories related to him from my mind.

And judging from his various performances, he was very interesting to me from the beginning, right?

And what do you mean by reassuring me?
"Go this way."

Just as I was walking while thinking, the secretary leading the way, the old habit of calling him the secretary first, suddenly stopped me.

In that case, are you going to take me out of here?
What about Moral and the others?
"what?"

But as far as the current situation looks, it seems that they want to take me to that guy just now.

I'm not sure about that state, but I don't feel malicious or other bad feelings.

Considering his potential status and performance status, maybe I should really ask him for help.

"understood."

Then look for an opportunity to explain the situation of the two of Moral to him...

Thinking of this, he still smiled at the secretary in front of him, and followed without saying anything.

"Don't be afraid..."?

After I walked out of the building, I realized that there was already a car waiting for us outside the door.

The Light Year 200E seems to be the previous generation business flagship model of Cheetah Industry, right?

The identity and status of the person in the car was once again affirmed.

"Welcome back."

Don't say such strange things to me again, okay?

After opening the door, the middle-aged man saw me, grinned at me, and then said this kind of thing that made my monk Zhang Er puzzled.

return?

Generally speaking, returning in our conversations should be understood as going somewhere again, right?

Another thing is to re-enter an organization, or to regain something.

"Hahaha, judging by your expression, it seems that you are still very wary of me."

"Oh, by the way, they have been picked up by me before you, so don't worry."

It seems that I didn't get in the car, but kept looking back, probably worried about Moral and the others.

Come on, even the two of them have been taken away by this guy. It seems that I have to get on this thief ship.

"I forgot to introduce myself first, my name is Kalinin Obowulf, and I am currently teaching at the third university of the Union Aerospace University."

Kalinin Obowulf?
It sounds like the name is Rossilian, from a remote galaxy in the northern star field of the Alliance.

"Just call me Teacher Kalinin."

According to what he said, what does it have to do with me to teach at the Third University of the Alliance Aerospace?

For the time being, try to make yourself look less nervous and be a little more decent.

Keep calm, Lin Man...

"I suspect...you may have identified the wrong person, right?"

The person who looked like a secretary sat in the co-pilot and disappeared from our space.

Kalinin and I were left face to face in the luxurious cockpit. Although it wasn't exactly staring, I was still quite embarrassed!

The main reason is that the information I know is still too little. Although it is definitely not possible to admit the wrong person, what they should be looking for is me, Lin Man... Could it be related to my father?

As a descendant of a famous mechanical technician in the post-federal era, and even to a certain extent, the person who formulated the standard for small carrier-based aircraft power systems, it should still be worthy of them, right?
After all, there are still very few people with the surname Lancetalo?
"Linman Ranstalow? That's right?"

That being said, he was indeed looking for me, so it seems that it must be because of my father.

"It's true that I was right..."

So they took my blood, still have to verify my identity?
Then take me away without waiting for the results, is it really okay?
If I'm not the person they're looking for, wouldn't I be dead?

"Do you know gardenias?"

Before I could continue to say something, Kalinin began to speak on his own after getting my affirmative answer.

Gardenia?

This must be... it won't be the kind of gardenia that grows on the tree, right?
No, if you tell me these things now, if I am really not the person they are looking for, it will really be very bad luck!

Gee!
Do you want to pretend to be crazy?

"Very fragrant..."

what am i talking about!

"But I know you are definitely not talking about this kind of gardenia."

Am I so nervous?
I can also feel that my mental activities are seriously inconsistent with the actual state, which is a very nervous expression.

Some people are nervous and will show it obviously, but some people are nervous on the contrary, which can be well hidden.

To put it nicely, I call it nervous and not obvious, but to put it bluntly, I just want to save face and suffer... right?

"Speaking of the current era, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, which has brought about dramatic changes in our lives."

"The emergence of starships has made interstellar travel possible, making it easier for us to explore the universe and collect resources."

"But this also brings a lot of disadvantages, such as extreme colonization..."

Kalinin didn't care whether I wanted to listen or not, so he took off his glasses and began to wipe them.

"A long time ago, joining the army was the only way for the poor people in the colonial galaxies below to get ahead."

"At the same time, it is also their only chance to see this colorful and dark world."

Kalinin seemed to have thought of something bad, and the light in his eyes no longer shone as brightly as before.

"I'm no exception, and he's no exception.

he?
In this context, is it actually referring to my father?
The vehicle has been moving at high speed, and the scenery outside the window is constantly passing by my eyes. It is clear that the sun is shining outside the window, but Kalinin's words make me have a cold feeling.

I might have an idea of ​​what he was going to say.

"You should also feel it. I am from Rossilla in the north, and it is a famous slum galaxy."

"You may have also heard that in our extreme homeland, poverty has brought us heavy taxes, and heavy taxes have in turn led to new poverty, and the cycle continues."

"Under increasingly heavy taxes, my parents had no choice but to send me to the military academy, because not only did it not cost money there, but sometimes they even received some meager allowances, which could subsidize the family."

"At that time, it was a coincidence, and it was a good time. It happened to coincide with the March War when the Empire invaded the Northern Cross galaxy. They gave us a chance to sell ourselves to the Alliance."

"Well, it was still called the Principality Federation at that time, but the meaning is the same."

March War?
I remember it was ten years ago because of what?The Empire invaded the backyard of the Commonwealth of Principalities, leading to a brutal war known as the March War because it lasted only three full months.

"At that time I got to know him, and he had to enter the army for the same purpose, which made us hit it off."

Although defeated and surrendered, the Empire used fleet jumping and projection technology for the first time in this war, exposing the originally safe hinterland of the Principality Federation to the threat of the Empire, which indirectly led to the disintegration of the Principality Federation and the current alliance. Appear.

"In the fierce battle, the two armies continued to invest new forces on the ground, in the sky, and in the universe. They bit and crushed each other."

"At that time, we just instinctively obeyed the order to keep dying, and kept crawling out of the sea of ​​blood, bringing the broken corpses or relics of our comrades around us."

"But I'm not the same as him. He is proficient in everything and is quickly valued by the people above, but I can only keep fighting in battle."

"Before he left, he told me that he wanted to change the unfair situation where we can only die..."

Is this... some bloody revolutionary plot?

Damn, it's on fire.

"It was the season when gardenias bloomed at that time, so we agreed to use gardenias as a secret to find interested parties to go with us."

"At first, I just wanted to improve the treatment of low-level soldiers, but I didn't expect it to become like this..."

"Although he has left, we still respect him as one of us, and he also uses his free time to exchange information and materials with us."

"Until one day, we knew that he died in battle. Although we later found out that he was just captured and went to a hostile country, it was too late."

"I thought the matter was over here, but I didn't expect that I received a letter from him not long ago."

"It's about you..."

　I have to pack up and go on a business trip again.
