I am Lapland’s rat!

Then Seria also sat down on the mat carefully. She put one arm around one knee, raised her head as well, and followed Kristen to look at the starry sky.

So Mulseth also looked up.

……

a long time.

On the hill where only the faint sound of insects could occasionally be heard, Muir Seth's voice suddenly sounded:

"Kristen, have you counted how many stars there are?"

After a second, Kristen replied: "Existing records show that at the highest visibility in this season, the number of stars fluctuates between 5486 and 6722."

"Their movement is almost random, sometimes more, sometimes less, so that it gives the illusion of reduced visibility."

Muirseth: "..."

"It's amazing."

"Murseth, why did you sigh like a researcher?" Ceria chuckled lightly and said.

"This is not enough." Kristen said, "...it is meaningless to just study the stars on the ground."

Next to Kristen, Mulseth, who was sitting on the edge of the picnic mat, blinked:

"……hey-hey."

"Actually, I just sigh a little. Even if the three of us come back here, the content of our conversation will be completely different from what it was before."

"So I wanted to try to imitate what I would have said when I heard what Kristen said."

Kristen and Ceria looked at Mulseth.

The elf girl covered her mouth and smiled at them.

"..."

So they were silent for a while, trying to bring themselves into the original Muir Seth.

——"That's awesome."

"It's amazing."

They said in unison.

"Pfft." Mulseth laughed.

Ceria also smiled, and Kristen showed a happy expression.

……

The three of them chatted relaxedly for a while. It had nothing to do with career or work. Here, they were just three outstanding graduates who shamelessly came back to borrow the public facilities of their alma mater after graduation.

But they all knew that this was just the last calm before the war.

After get off work, Mulseth suddenly proposed to go back to the lawn of the Polytechnic University to relive the memories of his student days, precisely because they might not have such leisure time in the next few months or even a year or two when they could meet.

Coulson did not show any signs of surrender after the defeat. Obviously, just the destruction of the black gloves and backer could not completely knock down the general manager of the Beach Umbrella.

Everything will have to wait until the successful opening and successful conclusion of the achievement exhibition to come to a perfect end.

"...To be honest, if you hadn't found Silver Wolf Security that day, Ceria, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to sit here."

After a while, Kristen, who had been looking at the starry sky, suddenly said.

"What a wonderful fate." Mulseth smiled and added.

"……yes."

Ceria rarely corrected Muir Seth's emotional words.

Before the arrival of Silver Wolf Security, she had already planned to give up scientific research completely and embark on the long road of fighting against humans instead of against nature as the director of the Defense Department.

Muir Seth's research direction and Kristen's research direction also began to diverge, and the three of them had fewer and fewer common topics.

Until the silver wolf security arrived - the crazy and rational white-haired Luper girl, and the silver Zarak beast master, the two of them seemed to have a miraculous power, and it seemed that all problems were in front of them. Although it was an obstacle, even now, when Seria thought of Lapland and Xiaoyin, she still felt full of confidence.

"Speaking of which," Kristen said, "Why is Silver Wolf Security called Silver Wolf Security?"

Mulseth blinked:

"Ah, I'm curious about this question too! Did the white-haired Lapland take the nickname 'Silver Wolf', or did they consider the existence of Mr. Silver Wolf from the beginning, and the Silver Wolf security guard is 'Little Silver' The same security company as 'Wolf'?"

……

The three discussed this issue for nearly 10 minutes.

Chapter 249 Nothing has changed

……

After a while.

Above the lawn, the stars in the dark night sky rotate slowly, and the gentle night wind blows the fluffy clouds. It is quiet everywhere, except for the occasional chirping of insects in the grass, and the school path not far away. Came the faint sound of conversation.

The three of them were sitting on the hillside of the school.

"..."

Drop drop, drop drop.

Suddenly, a not loud but somewhat abrupt communication ringtone rang on the hillside. Once the ringtone appeared, it kept ringing. The sculpture-like three people were like the exhibits at the art gallery at night, coming to life from a still state. Come over.

"Seriya!"

Mulseth shouted, "Why don't you turn off the communicator at this time!"

Who else could this kind of communication ringtone that has no personality at all belong to it but Ceria?

Kristen also looked at Ceria.

Seria, Ms. Vaifan who was usually sullen, finally showed a slightly embarrassed expression. She said "Sorry" and then took out the communicator from her pocket.

After consulting her companions, Ceria answered the phone.

"...Huh? Hmm. It's okay, just watch and deal with it."

"...Well, well, I understand."

"You don't have to work overtime."

……

After a few brief replies, Ceria hung up the phone, and then looked at the two people who looked at her, her expression became a little helpless.

"It really should be turned off. It's not something important."

"Harry was just asking me, if the new spell-casting unit is not enough, which exhibits should be given priority to fill the vacancies."

Mulseth puffed his cheeks like a pufferfish:

"The theft of the surgery unit didn't affect your Bionics Department's exhibition, right?"

"No." Ceria replied.

Kristen said: "That's good. If you need anything, remember to tell me."

"..."

There was another silence.

Mulseth sighed cutely. She knew that after such a conversation, the atmosphere would no longer be the same as when they were students.

After all, when the three of them were graduate students at Tremont Polytechnic University and students of a certain mentor, they had no burdens or responsibilities. When chatting on the lawn, they could throw their thoughts into the infinite starry sky. , and their possibilities are endless.

But now, as soon as he opens his mouth and thinks about the problem before him, reality is like a big mountain pressing down on him.

As time goes by, people are always forced or actively take on more responsibilities, encounter more things, and meet more people.

At the same time, the future they can see is gradually becoming less and less.

When we are children, we have endless imaginations about the future, such as becoming a police officer, a doctor or an engineer;

But after entering junior high school, we know the scope of high school where we can go, and after entering high school, we know what level of colleges and universities our level is limited to.After choosing a major, there are only a few career paths in front of you after graduation.

If you have been working for a few years, your life in the next few years or even ten years will seem to have been fixed, and you can see it every day when you get up.

Even Muirseth and the others were like this. They established the Rheinland Laboratory when they were still students. At that time, when they were sitting on the lawn and thinking about the future, they imagined what kind of scientific research team they would lead, what kind of scientific research results they would have, and what kind of scientific research results they would have. What a vast research institute and testing ground.

But now, in addition to scientific research, they consider various things that they have to do every day, such as interpersonal communication and business competition. Even the current scientific research direction is restricted by investors and shareholders, and they cannot develop as they wish.

but……

But Mulseth was a little reluctant.

She took advantage of the fact that the false starry sky above her head was still spinning slowly, the cool evening breeze was still leisurely, the lawn was still so soft, and the atmosphere just now still remained, she said:

"Ceria, Kristen, what is your dream?"

In a daze, Mulseth seemed to have returned to that night a few years ago. She seemed to have asked them this question... Maybe it wasn't her who asked it, but who asked it?She doesn't remember.

But in my ears, Ceria and Kristen’s answers briefly overlapped with Muir Seth’s memory.

And Mulseth believed that they also remembered what happened that day, so they gave the same answer.

"I want to be an upright scientific researcher. I hope that all kinds of academic chaos in the scientific research community in the past will no longer exist in the future, and science will faithfully lead the direction of progress for the Terran people."

"I want to explore the starry sky - the reality of this starry sky and this earth, the most authentic reality."

"..."

The corners of Mulseth's mouth slightly raised, and he looked at the sincere Ceria and Kristen.

The elf girl laughed and said:

"I want to know why our tribe cannot live on this land like ordinary people. I want to find my compatriots, create a homeland where we can survive comfortably, and try to live on."

Like Ceria and Kristen, she gave exactly the same answer as a few years ago.

"It seems that we are all still some distance away from our goals." Kristen said.

"After all, that's why we need to work hard!" Mulseth replied lively.

That's right.

Mulseth suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Before Silver Wolf Security started cooperating with Rhine Life, Muir Seth had actually noticed that the relationship between the three of them was gradually becoming distant.

Mulseth was a person who valued friendship, and she felt disappointed about this. She once thought that perhaps the goals of Ceria and Kristen had changed.

That's why on the eve of the achievement exhibition, she tried her best to make Seria, who had decided to give up on the path of scientific research, change her mind. That's why she proposed at this time that the three of them should revisit their old places.

But now she understands that none of the three of them have changed.

They all have a firm goal and an unwavering determination, but the external environment forces them to change the way they achieve their goals.

This is enough.

Mulseth did not believe in God, but at this moment, she silently thanked God in her heart. She thanked God for allowing her and Ceria to meet Silver Wolf Security that day, and for meeting the power that could break the rules and launch a rebellion against order.

You have to work harder, Miu Miu.

……

Under the starry sky, a slightly noticeable evening breeze blew, and the surrounding grass blades were blown by it. There was a soft sound of a leaf being gently caressed on the mountain behind.

In the distance, more and more lights are lighting up in the campus of Tremont Polytechnic University.

The playground gradually became filled with joyous noises. Perhaps some night activities were held, or perhaps someone made a grand confession there.

The three of them sat on the lawn until the stars came out.

Chapter 2 The day of departure

……

The peaceful moments are fleeting.

Two days later, the third batch of exhibits and exhibitors at the Rheinland Life Saint-Sophie Achievements Exhibition were ready to go.

Today's weather is not very good. The sunny days for several days seem to have finally suffered a setback. There are gray clouds floating in the sky, and the air is filled with warm water vapor.

Although for most citizens of Tremont, this upcoming heavy rain is a savior that has finally arrived to end the hot weather for many days, but from the perspective of Rhine life, in such weather Starting out here undoubtedly adds a lot of uncertainty to this short journey.
