Chapter 65 "23"

About me?

"Wait, what did you say about me?"

"Yes, you look too much like him..."

Gently raised your hand, do you want to touch my face?
Should I... stay away?
"It may be because he will be inspected. There is nothing about him in the letter, but only a few words mentioned his child, and left information for us to check and track."

"So I'm sure you're the one I'm looking for, and I've been looking for you."

It turns out that there is such a thing...

He must have been thinking about me, although in my subconscious mind, I don't think he is a competent... father.

"According to the information he provided, we found out the Imperial College of Technology you were studying at that time, and also found out your name."

"But apart from the two 'breakers' filled in the enrollment and graduation columns, we can no longer find any information other than your name."

"By the way, the employment column says a sugar factory on a plantation."

The sugar factory is okay, but after all, did they even find out about my file?

It seems that the energy is not small...

"From then on, I knew that the work you were doing might have something to do with the military. Just like your father, we also believed that you had enough talent."

So if what Kalinin said can be believed, this guy is actually my father's comrade-in-arms, right?

So it felt that there was no malice towards me, and I naturally let go of my guard against him.

"In the end, the message chain was broken, but since then we have been looking for your whereabouts."

Judging from his previous description, he has stayed in the army, is now a teacher in a military academy, and has a relationship with an organization called Gardenia.

"Is that why the teacher came here in such a short time?"

Sure enough, to quickly build a good relationship in a short period of time, starting from the address is the fastest and most effective.

"That's not so exaggerated."

I have been thinking for a long time, the "they" that the old man said is related to my parents, but if it is just an ordinary researcher or something, how can it be related to some organization that looks very different from a terrorist organization Woolen cloth?
Sure enough, it was because of the so-called "Gardenia", right?

Although Kalinin didn't give too much information about the current situation of this thing, but my father should indeed be one of the elders.

"You do have your name on the record, though."

Kalinin spread his hands, pursed his lips at me with a half-smile, and then half-jokingly and half-seriously admitted the fact of "monitoring" me.

"Oh, but you are really powerful. The place where we were before happened to be taken by us. I was worried that you would die on it."

Kalinin quickly changed the topic, and obviously didn't want to explain more to me on this. It seems that the actual method may not be as simple...and clean as he described.

"According to the report, their facilities should have been destroyed."

"It's always inevitable that there will be many accidents."

I followed suit and spread my hands towards Kalinin.

"Tell me how you escaped? Are you still so lucky?"

His words reminded me of Moral's miserable and sharp cry: "Ah~! Lin Man!"

"Ah, it seems that the process should not be very smooth, but to be honest, I didn't expect that you seem to have the talent to be an actor."

Kalinin patted my shoulder, looked at me meaningfully and said.

"See, you've got this guy Sims all over the place."

"Sims?"

"Oh, the guy who stopped you the other day, the guy who sent me the report of a suspected UP-EST III survivor."

"You should be familiar with him, right?"

Hmm...maybe it's "Major"?

Should I admit now that some of the ingredients were made up?
But generally speaking, I didn't maliciously fabricate any facts.

"But in fact, thanks to your hand, I have more reasons to take you away."

Kalinin suddenly took out a bottle of red wine from nowhere, and took out two goblets by the way.

Does this mean you want to have a bite with me?

"Thank you, I don't have the habit of drinking."

Although it seems that what this guy said is basically credible, but before I can completely trust him, I think it is more important to stay awake...

"Stop doing this, are you still afraid that I will eat you up?"

While talking to himself, he poured the red wine into the decanter.

"Don't worry, just relying on you, if I am against you, can you still talk to me about so many things?"

"Um……"

And since... this guy has said so, wouldn't it be true that I don't trust him any more?
Then if I really need to rely on him in the future, wouldn't I be born again!

Although it's right to think about it, he really doesn't need to be so troublesome if he wants to kill me. If I have anything worthy of his calculations, it is probably the escape process I mentioned before, right?

Given that at least more than half of the content is real, it doesn't matter if you give him a trick, and since what he said is correct, I don't have any bad premonition...

Gee!
Is it classic gambling time again?

"Then Mr. Kalinin, I'd rather be obedient than respectful."

Forget it, I've played all the games, let's go big and play.

"Oh, this is what young people should look like."

Seeing that I raised the glass and toasted directly on the spot, cheers, pouring the glass three times in a row, Kalinin also showed a smile.

At least it looks, um... more real than the previous smile.

"I have to say that you are much better than your father in this regard."

Maybe it was because I looked at me that I was straightforward, but Kalinin suddenly burst into laughter.

I should be quite satisfied with my performance.

"Actually, it's also a coincidence to say it. Beria's national exam has just ended, and we are also recruiting students here as representatives of the alliance's third university..."

"So what you studied at Imperial College was really related to that?"

Speaking of this, Kalinin's eyes suddenly wandered, and he was no longer as flexible as he told the story before.

I'm afraid I thought of some bad idea, hey!
What else is that related thing... Although I do understand that he wants to ask me if I am working on the power system of a carrier-based aircraft, but why is it so strange?

What is your purpose in saying this!
"Well, that's it."

"By the way, then you..."

Suddenly Kalinin's eyes met mine, and then another ominous premonition hit my heart.

"...can you fly a plane?"

Thinking back to the time when we escaped by stealing a carrier-based aircraft and almost fell to our death on the wasteland of UP-EST III, I was in a cold war.

"Won't……"

"Then you are willing to..."

"I don't want to either!"

Sure enough, it's better to just seal his words first, so that he won't try to persuade me when the time comes.

"Really, what a pity."

But what is unexpected is that Kalinin did not continue to quarrel with me in this regard...

"That would be a pity. Speaking of which, the princess of the ram still..."

With a smile on his face, he hesitated to speak, leaving me unlimited room for my imagination.

Judging from what he meant, the little princess of the zodiac sheep refers to Nalia, right?

How about it, does she want to learn how to fly a fighter jet?

Does that mean he won't help Nalia if I don't promise him?

Are you threatening me?
"Actually, you also know that your father's death was not that simple, right?"

Another meaningful speech... So, by the way, Gu Ning!

Almost all long-distance passenger ships from the UP star field will stop at the Guning facility. It is not difficult for them to guess that if I am still alive, I will probably find a way to come to the alliance.

"So it's you?"

In this way, I only need to leave things or people in Gu Ning that remind me of my relationship with my father... No wonder, no wonder!
"Don't worry, someone is taking care of him."

Knowing that I seemed to have realized the problem, Kalinin's expression suddenly became heavy.

"We've been trying to figure out how to deal with them, but they also know us inside out."

"They" again.

"We're always looking for an opportunity, and you know, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight."

I have no idea!

I don't even know what the "they" you mentioned are people or ghosts!

"So the way we are thinking now... is you."

"I?"

"For you to enter the alliance army, it is definitely not possible to use ordinary methods."

"The resource I can use now is to send you to the carrier-based aircraft. This should be something you are good at, right?"

"Ah~! Lin Man!"

Every time the word carrier-based aircraft is mentioned, I subconsciously think of Moral who is holding the steel structure in front of him and howling loudly...

"I know you should also want to know the final answer, your father, your mother, and everything else?"

In fact, to be honest, I am not very disgusted with this kind of thing. I have dealt with this kind of stuff with my father since I was a child.

But he is right, if I reject him this time, I may never find the answers to these dusty old things again.

"Are you afraid of danger?"

"Then how do you think I've survived to this day?"

Although I have to admit that I hate troublesome things, but I'm really not afraid of any so-called danger.

"Then are you willing?"

"Would a person like you really be willing to run around like this and only hug the mouse?"

Think about why I want to come to the area controlled by the alliance?

Isn't it just... want to live a quiet life?
"I……"

But why... I'm really not reconciled!
"You have to live well..."

How exactly?
What will happen if you promise him?
Can I really do it?
Dad, why am I so unwilling?

"I promise you."
