Don't treat Omega as a man [Interstellar]

"Come on, let's talk."

The doctor smiled and looked at Ren, holding an electronic screen for recording in his hand, looking businesslike.

Facing his half-smiling face, Ren couldn't be serious, and asked after a while, "Is this considered psychological counseling?"

"If you think it is, then it is." The doctor shrugged, "I'm only in charge of asking questions."

"...Actually, I feel better." Ryan said.

He didn't lie, his passion was like a fire, burning away all the impetuousness and confusion in his heart.He felt inexplicably sober now.

Seeing his expression, the doctor clicked his tongue undisguisedly, "I told you not to be brave, kids nowadays are really troublesome."

Ren curled his lips and fell silent.

"Come on, tell me about your experience." The doctor picked up the stylus and made a gesture of recording.Ren always felt that he was a little too active, as if he was watching the excitement.

"Where did you say that?"

"casual."

All right.Ren coughed twice and cleared his throat, starting with his enlistment.

Leaving home, arriving at the boot camp, physical training, quarreling with Sheng Qingyu, contacting mechs, being raided in the middle of the night, being invited by Ansel...

"anything else?"

The old lady-like roommate, Sheng Qingyu who is always worried about him, Shirley who has a paralyzed face but has a unique gentleness, and Xiu who smiles all day long.

And Ansel.

Ren suddenly felt a little frustrated. He covered his face with his hands and asked, "Did I cause trouble for the Lieutenant General again?"

"Did I say it didn't make you feel better?" the doctor asked him back.

"..."

Ren shook his head.

"Then don't think too much about it." The doctor said, "It is said that some soldiers made much more trouble than you when they came, and they are not doing well now."

"Didn't you just come here for a month?" Ren was a little strange. He remembered that the doctor told him the last time.

The doctor raised his chin proudly, "It is my duty to study past cases."

"So I'm your No.1 patient?"

"Yes." The doctor said, "So you have to fight for my breath."

"..." Ren tilted his head and looked at him, "I don't know if you are joking."

The doctor blinked and changed the subject abruptly, "How do you feel now?"

"Body?" Ren stretched his arms, "It hurts a bit, but it's nothing compared to the pain of training."

The doctor looked at him quietly.

Ren thought for a while, and then said, "Emotionally...it's still a little hard to accept."

"What is difficult to accept?"

"It's hard to accept that I just came back from the front line." Ren lay back on the bed in frustration, staring at the snow-white ceiling, "Those rebellious thoughts and so-called pursuits in the past have all become jokes. Followed, and came back in a daze, bringing back a mind full of chaotic emotions. Thinking about it now, those few days on the frontline planet seem like a nightmare."

When he was awakened by a stick during estrus, he realized how vulnerable he was before. In his previous predictions, he never thought that one day he would be defeated by reality in this way .

"There is always a gap between reality and dreams." The doctor concluded for him.

"In the past, I always felt that I was very powerful, and I had completely different ideas and lofty goals from others. I had high expectations for myself," Ryan said, "But when I really faced the facts, I realized that I realized that I was just a child who didn’t understand anything.”

He grinned, "Before someone asked me if I was ready, now I want to say, I'm sorry, I'm not ready. But I don't know who to apologize to. Is it the lieutenant general? Is it all the comrades who take care of my emotions? Or ……Myself?"

He threw this question to the doctor, and the doctor was silent for a while before saying, "This question is a bit profound."

"Be more professional," Ren turned his head to look at him, and said with a wry smile, "at least say something."

"..." The doctor paused, "Do you want comfort from me, or do you want me to scold you?"

Too.Ryan thought, what does he hope to get from others?He has listened to the comforting words over and over, and he has shown all the fragility to Sheng Qingyu. If he continues to seek sympathy from others, it will not be called pity, but coquettish.

If it really got to that point, then he is really too bad.

The doctor sat by the bed and waited quietly for him to figure it out. Ren glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said with a wry smile, "I suddenly hate myself a little bit."

The doctor smiled at him, "That's a good thing."

Ren sat up from the bed again, the doctor clicked on his electronic screen, and then handed the screen to Ren.

"The growth of every recruit into a veteran is a process of breaking and reshaping." The doctor said, "The more determined you are, the faster the reshaping will be, and the harder your shell will be. What the army needs are strong soldiers." , not a bunch of crying kids."

On the screen was a video of soldiers shuttling through the jungle, and Ren sharply noticed that the leader in the picture was Shirley.

"We also need to take some live video to convince those stubborn guys up there." The doctor said with his feet up.

In the video, Shirley led about ten soldiers through the jungle at high speed. Their movements were agile and orderly, like a group of cheetahs in the forest, and they didn't seem to even shake the branches where they passed.Suddenly, Shirley at the front waved her hand, and the ten people got the order, stopped for a moment, lurked into the depths of the woods, and disappeared.

As soon as the screen turned and turned to the open battlefield, a huge humanoid mech was diving towards the ground, with thick smoke coming out of the fuselage, and it was about to hit the ground. At this time, a voice came from the video, "Power Device broken."

The voice was surprisingly calm, and after a while, the man said, "Attempt to force a landing."

The moment the mech that was about to crash touched the ground, it pulled the brakes, and the fuselage recovered its balance at an unimaginable speed and posture. In the next second, the humanoid machine completely lost its power source. fell to the ground.

The electric current rustled for a long time, and the man's voice came out again, "Successful landing, request for support."

The voice was still calm, as if the hanging thread just now was just an illusion.

The video ends with the sound of electric current.

The doctor took the screen back from Ryan and said, "The man on the mech is Don Kerry."

Don Kerry, the best Omega mech soldier in the legend, this name Ren has heard countless times.

"When do you think you'll be able to do this?" the doctor asked him.

"I..." Ren paused and said, "I don't know."

"Before I came here, doctors from the town were regularly invited here for examinations. I went to study the previous records. It took Don Kerry three months from the first time he went to the battlefield to this video."

"Of course," the doctor stood up and stretched. "Some people are naturally calm. We can't expect everyone to be as good as him, but at least we have to set a reasonable goal. So, what is your goal? ?”

"...I need to think about it." Ren looked down at the back of his hand and said softly.

Ren lay in the infirmary for three full days before he was allowed to get out of bed and walk around. Before leaving, the doctor dragged him to do a full set of pheromone checks, and only let him go out after confirming that he was really fine.

The first thing Ryan did when he came back was to rush into the bathroom and take a shower.Maybe it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was a smell of medicine on his body. He said it was the smell in the infirmary, but the doctor refused to believe it, insisting that he had a nose problem.

The doctor is a very interesting person, but sometimes what he says is difficult to understand.He is actively working on getting Ryan back, both physically and mentally.Ryan had to repeatedly prove to him that his neurasthenia was cured. He even started telling the doctor about his childhood memories to show him that he really didn't mind those things anymore. In the end, the doctor still told him what he said. Be skeptical.Thanks to the doctor, Ren has no energy to think about what is there on the battlefield these two days, and he only wants to get rid of the suffering from that guy.

Ren stood under the shower, and suddenly laughed while washing.

What are these things.

His house has been tidied up, including the clothes he messed up on the day of estrus, Ren tried his best not to think about who helped him with these tasks.Sheng Qingyu's clothes were taken away, and when Ren recalled the scene at that time, his face kept burning hot.

He still doesn't know who sent him to the infirmary.The doctor refused to tell the truth, but Ren made a wild guess.Xiu and Shirley were busy all day long and had no time to take care of him as a soldier, so it was either Sheng Qingyu or William who lived on the same floor. If it was the latter, the doctor had no reason not to confess to him.

That is Sheng Qingyu.

In this way, Ren's mood is very complicated.

He came to the bedside while wiping his wet hair. His clothes were all folded and placed on the bedside. The neat folding method seemed to be done by Sheng Qingyu.

What Renn didn't understand was how Sheng Qingyu walked out of the room full of Omega pheromones.

Is it really like folk rumors that special forces will specially train soldiers to resist pheromone interference?It's not impossible, but thinking about it this way, Renn found a little bit of unwillingness in his heart.

In front of his eyes, there seemed to be an image of a beautiful woman with pear blossoms and rain, wearing revealing clothes and tearfully said: Is it because I am not attractive?

Ren pursed his lips, turned his head and went back to wash his face with cold water again.

With his hands on the sink, he looked up at the mirror.Sheng Qingyu hasn't visited him in the infirmary for the past few days. He is obviously a person who can even come to Omega's dormitory, but he doesn't know what he is avoiding at this time.Perhaps Sheng Qingyu had his own considerations. Ren looked at the haggard self in the mirror and thought calmly that Sheng Qingyu was not attracted by his pheromones. From a rational point of view, this was a good thing.

Fortunately, no accident happened.

But Ren knew that in his heart, he didn't think so.

Now is not the time to think about this, Ren patted his face with water again to make sure he looked refreshed, and then returned to the bedroom to prepare for the afternoon training.

Soon, he spotted something in the middle of the table next to him.

It was the communicator that Sheng Qingyu stuffed into Ren's bag before, and it was placed on the table for some reason, with a note pressed underneath it.Ren took out the note and spread it out to read, only to find that there was not a single word on it.

Just a blank sheet of paper.

This was something Sheng Qingyu left him, and Ren soon realized that he might have left this planet.

Ren didn't feel that surprised. It should be said that he would be surprised if Sheng Qingyu was still here.Regardless of whether Sheng Qingyu is still on official business or not, if it was really Sheng Qingyu who came to rescue Ren on the day he fell in love, it would be very embarrassing for the two of them to meet.

After all, Ryan was still naked at the time, and it only takes one look at a normal person to understand what he did before he fell into a coma. Coupled with Alpha's clothes that were thrown outside the bathroom, this scene is very imaginative.

Ren knew that Sheng Qingyu wouldn't mind this kind of thing, he would only blame himself for throwing his clothes in Ren's room, which led to what happened next.Sheng Qingyu is like this, he will never blame Renn for this kind of thing.

But the more this happened, the more Ren felt guilty.

He couldn't help feeling guilty, as if he had stolen something important from Sheng Qingyu.This thing may not be of any use to others, but to Ren, it is regarded as a treasure.

There are some deepest secrets that cannot be expressed in words and must be hidden in the bottom of my heart. It is a momentary throbbing in my heart, just like the breeze blowing into the mountains and forests from afar in early spring, gently stroking the leaves among the branches. The tender buds brought a trembling that touched the soul.That was what Ren felt at the peak moment. He could convince himself to look down on everything before, but he couldn't forget that feeling no matter what.

Ren knew what this throbbing was called.

He folded the blank piece of paper left by Sheng Qingyu, put it in the drawer, and put the communication device in a conspicuous place, as if expecting it to light up at any time.But Ren always felt that this communicator might not receive communication requests for a long time.

Then he put on clean training clothes, turned and went out.

Shirley might be really angry this time. When Ren went to report to her, Shirley stared at Ren's face for a long time before responding calmly, "Yeah."

Ren knew he was wrong, so he lowered his head for a long time and did not dare to lift it up.Until he heard Shirley say, "Come with me."

They came to the underground factory again, but did not go to the parts warehouse in Alastur.Shirley took him to the display racks on both sides of the factory, walked to about the middle, pointed to a humanoid machine not far away and said, "That's your mecha."

It was a silver humanoid mecha, the outer shell was polished and had a very metallic texture.The size of the mecha is not too big, it belongs to small and medium-sized machines, which is exactly the type that Ryan likes.

Ren looked at Shirley in surprise. He thought he should be punished, but he didn't expect to receive such a big gift.

Shirley's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to be joking, which made Ren even more uneasy.He rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and repeated redundantly, "This is... my mecha?"

Ansel did tell him he was going to be equipped with a mecha, but he didn't say it would be so soon.

The biggest difference between Shirley and Ansel is that the latter will explain carefully to you, while the former is used to turning a blind eye to the meaningless anxiety.

Shirley said, "This is a temporary, refurbished machine."

In other words, it is possible to change to a better mecha in the future. Ren was taken aback by the sudden good news, and couldn't believe his ears.

"I'll give you a day to familiarize yourself with the keys," Shirley gave him a task, "Tomorrow morning, arrive on the fifteenth floor of the base on time for training."

After finishing speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Ren's response, leaving Ren and a group of tall mechas staring wide-eyed.

But yes, how could Rennes refuse such kindness.

He asked the workers in the underground factory to remove the mecha from the display rack.There is no room for him to practice here, Ren can only bring the mech to the plain outside the base.Shirley didn't say no in advance, so Ren acquiesced that she gave him enough rights to adapt to the new machine.

Although it was a refurbished machine, when Ren climbed into the operating cabin, he was surprised by the clean and neat operating console inside.This table is very similar to the No.18 machine in the new barracks. I don’t know if it was specially chosen to take care of him. The table is very neat, the keys are arranged in an orderly manner, and the operating area is not very large. It is very suitable for Ren’s arm length. .He asked the workers to transport the mecha to the long runway of the training ground, and after confirming that there were no obstacles around, he began to run in with the mecha.

He pulled the main power and waited for the system to start up.This mecha seems to have never been used after refurbishment. The system is still very new and needs to be checked for safety.After a long wait, finally, the words "passed" lit up on the display screen.

Ren couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. This was the first time he had actually operated a humanoid mech after leaving the new barracks, and it was inevitable that he was a little emotional.

He groped to secure the safety seat and pressed the start button.

After waiting for five seconds, there was no response from the system.

Ren thought he had pressed the wrong button, and after re-checking the button, he found that there was no problem, so he lowered the power of the system and turned it on again. After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

Ren suddenly felt a little guilty. Shirley would not give him a broken mech. He believed that Shirley would not play such a low-level joke with him. The only problem might be with him.

He stood up from the safety seat and began to check the buttons on the control side one by one. At this moment, he suddenly heard a low sound, which seemed to be the sound of ancient mechanical rollers rubbing against each other. Ren didn't dare to move, and the sound lasted for a long time. It stopped after a while, and just as Ren wanted to continue the inspection, he suddenly heard a male mechanical voice saying, "Who are you?"

The cabin was still very empty, and there was a slight echo of the sound. Ren wanted to tell himself that he had heard it wrong, but because of the lessons learned by Alastor, he had to face up to the fact that the mecha could speak.

He straightened up and said to the air, "My name is Ryan."

The mecha was silent for a while, repeating the question just now, "Who are you?"

Ren didn't know what the standard answer was, so he changed his answer, "I'm a recruit this year."

The mecha fell silent again, and Ren wanted to sit down and wait for it, but he was a little timid.After all, when he was talking to Alasto, he was standing outside, and now he was staying inside the mech. If this big guy felt unsatisfactory in that place, he might be crushed directly.

But after thinking about it, Ren felt that his idea was a bit unrealistic.How can a mecha have a "feel"?Xiu once said that everything about mechas is controlled by humans, and it is never possible for mechas to be out of human control.

Ren used this sentence to comfort himself, although he now has doubts about the authenticity of this sentence.

The response of this mecha was much slower than that of Alastor. After a long time, it slowly said, "Time."

At the same time, the screen on the display screen at Ren's hand began to jump up quickly, and finally froze on the date and time.

"...Do you have to order yourself before every operation?" Ren didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually had an urge to chat with this guy.

The sound of mechanical friction sounded again, and amidst the somewhat noisy background sound, the mech replied, "The system is damaged, seriously."

Ren flipped through the display, and the test data on it still showed good.

"You have no problem," Ren comforted it, "Is it because it has been dormant for too long, and the data is still stuck before the renovation?"

The flashing images on the display told Ren that this guy was re-examining himself.

Ren suddenly sympathized with this big guy. It doesn't even know whether its own system is good or not. It needs to be told over and over again.Ren didn't know whether it was because this guy's language system was too simple, or because its setting was more melancholy than Alastor's.

It seems that either way is very poor.

After it managed to check the system twice, Ren was pleasantly surprised to find that it also gradually increased its conversation.

"I'm sorry," the first thing the mech did after it reacted was to apologize to Ren, "Please forgive me for my rudeness just now."

"It's okay." Ryan said with a smile.He found that he was gradually able to accept talking to the machine, but the only problem was that he didn't know where to look when talking.

"My name is Will," said the mecha, "this is the name my creator gave me."

"The Creator." Ren repeated in a low voice.It's an odd use of the word.

Will seemed to wait for a while, and seeing that Ryan didn't respond, he asked him, "Where is he?"

"Who?" Ren didn't respond immediately.

The screen beeped twice, and Ren looked down, only to see a man's profile appeared on the screen.Although there was only a photo on the screen, Ren could feel that the man's eyes on the screen were very cold. It should be said that it was even worse than Shirley's.

Ren slid down the information and saw the name of Will's "creator".

Don Kerry.
