Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[Color of mental tentacles]

The other party was obviously also a smart person. After only a moment of silence, he took the initiative to say: "To talk about special places... Gore has been a little strange since he was a child. He never liked playing with friends of the same age, but often went to Longtan Forest by himself. On the verge-my wife and I gradually acquiesced to his way of playing after a long time."

The young miner paused and continued: "Longtan Forest was previously not allowed to enter at will. Since Captain Chu came, the outer area has been much safer, and the ban on entry to ordinary people has been lifted; Gore was born on planet 3. , I occasionally took their mother and son out for a walk in the forest during my shift. At that time, Gore could only be held in my arms. Later, after he would walk, he would often run to play by himself, and he would go there for a long time."

Lu Xun asked keenly, "Aren't you worried about him as a kid ran into the dangerous forest?"

"At first, my wife and I were both busy and didn't care. I thought he was going to a neighbor's house to play. Later, when he came back with a handful of raspberries, we learned the truth."

"Raspberry?" Lu Xun pushed the frame, "That thing is hard to find."

"Who said no! We were also taken aback at the time. My wife asked him patiently, knowing that such a big child still doesn't know how to conceal it. He was very happy to say that it was given to him by the little monkey." It seemed to be. Thinking of the scene at the time, the young father smiled unconsciously, “We didn’t blame him and praised him. In fact, we didn’t believe it, but Gore was very happy. He said he would go there. The little monkey said to give it away. His delicious mushrooms."

Mr. Miner took a deep breath and continued: "The next day, I secretly followed him, and discovered that what he said was true."

"The animals in the jungle will not hurt him. The little monkey with golden fur will pull him to the tree, play with him, and give him things; Gore will teach the little monkey to make a wreath and cut it off. Long nails-these are what my wife usually teaches him. I have to say that they get along very happily, just like good friends with each other."

"Why? Why don't the animals hurt Gore, and why are the golden monkeys willing to play with him?" Lu Xun asked directly.

Mr. Miner was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said frankly: "Gor, he... seems to understand the speech of certain animals, or that they can talk to each other-it is indeed strange to say that, but this it is true."

"I believe in you." Lu Xun said.

Mr. Miner looked at Lu Xun in surprise, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then scratched his face with a bit of distress, and whispered: "Um...this was originally our little secret, my wife, my wife and little Gore No one can speak out after an agreement is made..."

Lu Xun easily understood the meaning of his words, so he promised: "Don't worry, we will keep it confidential for you."

The young miner rubbed his hands in surprise and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much..."

Chu Qingtian raised his head from the virtual screen and suddenly said: "It includes Mr. Gore who is the guide."

The miner was obviously taken aback, and looked at the speaker in surprise.

Chu Qingtian relaxed his facial nerves, made himself look as approachable as possible, and then repeated what he said just now.

"You, what do you mean..." Mr. Miner opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe his ears.

Chu Qingtian thought he understood his feelings as a father at this time, so he explained patiently: "I believe you understand what I mean. I don’t need to report Mr. Gore’s guide status, or I can ask Al As his teacher, Wizard Sha will also give him corresponding allowances in accordance with the standards of the base. Of course, the premise is that you don't want to send him to the Imperial City to receive more professional guidance education and lead a better life."

"No, no, I don't want Gore to go to any imperial capital. There is no doubt that my wife will not, even though she is looking forward to Gore's awakening of the wizard talent every day..." Mr. Miner was so happy that he said incoherently, "If, if Gore can stay by our side, it is simply the best. To tell you, my wife and I signed a contract with the Federal ZF and came to work voluntarily. We like this place-Gore and Gore can be here. The Tianlong team serves only in the Tianlong team..."

Chu Qingtian and Lu Xun exchanged glances, and both showed a satisfied look—very good, a wise man, and a father who knows how to love children.

Things have come to an end here.

Chu Qingtian adjusted a comfortable posture, flipped through the personal terminal, and asked casually: "Mike Bieber, are you from Dongdu?"

The nonchalant words stunned people for a while, and Mike stammered back: "I, I was indeed born in Dongdu."

The base officer can check the information of all the workers in the jurisdiction anytime and anywhere. This is not surprising. What really surprised Mike is that he did not indicate his place of birth in the federal registration information, and there was no information in the household registration change project. I don’t know how Mr. Sentinel knew the contents of Dongdu.

Chu Qingtian caught the doubt in his eyes and smiled for the first time in two days, "Don't be nervous, I'm just purely curious. Your Dongdu accent is obvious-my mother is also from Dongdu."

The innocent young man immediately showed a big smile, and his tone of voice became much more cheerful, "So is my mother, and Aunt Lulu, oh, my wife's mother. They were both born and raised in Dongdu. My wife and I I have been with them since we were young, so we have always spoken Dongdu dialect—in fact, since we can remember, we have not lived in Dongdu anymore."

Chu Qingtian smiled, as if he was infected by the young father in front of him, or perhaps because he thought of his mother, his mood finally became much lighter.

After Mike left, Chu Qingtian turned around and asked, "As for Little Gore's talent, I mean communicating with animals. What do you think?"

"I don't find it strange. I used to hear from the elders in my family that some people with strong mental power can communicate with the world and everything, not limited to sentries, guides or ordinary people." Lu Xun said calmly.

Chu Qingtian smiled and nodded, "I've learned a lot."

Lu Xun glanced at him with a bit of worry, "Compared with this, I am more concerned about someone's guide."

Chu Qingtian shrugged and said indifferently: "Obviously, it's gone." With that indifferent look, it seemed that the person who was so anxious to go crazy last night was not him at all.

Lu Xun felt that his appearance was so dazzling inexplicably, he turned and left without saying a word.

"Heh!" Chu Qingtian smiled at his back, no matter how brilliant the smile on his face is, he can't hide the lonely look in his eyes.

Early the next morning, Mu Qiu washed his face, brushed his teeth, finished breakfast, then hid the ingredients he picked in Longtan Forest, slumped to the infirmary.

Unexpectedly, Elsa was also unhealthy.

Mu Qiu showed a look of pity for the same illness, and said in a greeting: "What? You were also alarmed yesterday?"

"You mean the investigation?" Elsa shook her head, "I was killed by that little guy."

Elsa pointed in the direction of the silent room. Although she was complaining, the compassion in her eyes was not too obvious.

Mu Qiu followed her fingers and looked at it, and at a glance, she saw a small child sleeping in the never-used small room next to the silent room dedicated to the sentry.

At this time, for the convenience of observation, the small soundproof wall was adjusted to a transparent shape with one-way amplification mode. Even if standing here from a distance, Mu Qiu could clearly see the child’s blushing face and could hear it. His shallow snoring, as well as the mental fluctuations when he caught the opponent's strength and weakness.

Mu Qiu was taken aback, and without thinking, he blurted out and asked, "Is it a little guide?"

Elsa didn't think too much, instead she nodded her head again and again with a smile, "Yes, I only awakened yesterday. It's super cute, isn't it? She's also very cute!"

"Sent from his family?" Or was he brought here after being spotted by the sentry? Thinking of this possibility, Mu Qiu felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, fortunately, the discovery was timely and did not cause any trouble. He has just awakened, and his state has been unstable recently. It is safer to stay here. His family also agrees." Elsa obviously did not understand Mu Qiu's words. There is a deep meaning inside, but her explanation can be regarded as answering Mu Qiu's doubts.

Elsa remembered Lin Qing's request before leaving, and mysteriously leaned forward to Mu Qiu, and whispered: "The captain has given the command. No one but her is allowed to tell about the awakening of Little Gore."

Combining with the situation of the Tianlong team in the military headquarters that A Luo mentioned, it is not difficult to understand why Chu Qingtian did this.

"It's not appropriate to tell me such an important thing?" Mu Qiu said embarrassedly.

Elsa looked at him strangely, and said naturally: "The captain treats Qiu as her own, what does it matter if you know it?"

Mu Qiu couldn't help but think of the scene of the confrontation between the two last night. There was a chill in his heart, not knowing where the girl's identification of "self" came from.

In the silent room, the sleeping little Gore heard the conversation between the two, although the consciousness was not awake, the spiritual realm slowly became active.

Mu Qiu felt a familiar spirit wave quietly touching him, gentle and careful.

He didn't even need to look specifically at it to know where this spiritual wave came from, and he felt very close inexplicably.

Mu Qiu didn't dare to stretch out his mental tentacles, so he could only calm down silently in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the little guy received such feedback, and the mental fluctuation suddenly became clear. At the same time, Mu Qiu's spiritual realm received a wave of cheerful messages.

Mu Qiu looked in the direction of the silent room and found that the little guy really woke up. At this time, he was looking at him with blue round eyes, shy and longing.

"What's your name?" Mu Qiu asked tentatively in his mind.

"My name is Gore." He heard the little guy "speak" like this.

Mu Qiu was both surprised and delighted in his heart. He never knew that the guides could communicate like this.

The little guy seemed to think of something, with a serious look on his little face, and slowly and slowly stretched out two round, chubby mental tentacles.

The first thing Mu Qiu noticed was the color of the lovely pair of antennae, which turned out to be the same light blue as the sky—different from his and Elsa's.

Elsa's mental tentacles are milky white, and it feels as warm and solid as cow's milk, which seems to contain infinite vitality.

His own spiritual tentacles are colorless and transparent, light and ethereal, and seem to contain everything.

Now, he saw the third color, the clear and broad sky blue.

Mu Qiu thought of a very important question—the guide manual that Arrow secretly found for him didn't seem to describe the color of the mental tentacles at all, and Elsa had never mentioned it.

Could it be said that the color of the mental tentacles is a secret that cannot be made public, so that Arrow cannot find the relevant information?

Do different colors have different meanings?

Are the colors of the mental tentacles of each person different?

Did Elsa or other guides notice it, or was he alone?

A series of question marks appeared in Mu Qiu's mind.
