Dark Star Field [Interstellar]

Xue Yelai sat down by the bed and put his hand on Bai Yang's forehead.The white crabapple blooms silently, releasing the spiritual power of healing.

Bai Yang's consciousness began to blur, and Xue Yelai's voice became hypnotic.

"Bai Yang, after you told me the story of 'the she-wolf and the hunter', I often wondered what kind of expectations your mother had for you. If she wanted you to take revenge, why didn't she tell you everything I told you all, and she still wants to tell you those words about mercy? But if she doesn't want you to take revenge, why doesn't she just hide everything from you in the past and let you have a normal life? This question has troubled me for a long time, how can I I can't figure it out either."

Xue Yelai stopped talking and checked Bai Yang's expression.Bai Yang's gaze was a little slack, but he still held on, as if trying hard to see the person in front of him.Xue Yelai put his palms over his eyes, "You don't have to work so hard to keep yourself awake. Just listen to me, and sleep if you want."

In the palm of his hand, Bai Yang's eyelashes trembled slightly, but did not move.

Xue Yelai continued: "Now that I have experienced similar pain, I think I may understand your mother's feelings at the time. It is not easy to forget the hatred. We always want to find an outlet for the pain we have endured. If you don't do that, your own suffering is meaningless.

"However, it is not easy to remember hate. Every time you recall, the pain regurgitates. In the end, it is not your enemy who hurts you, but the painful feeling you force yourself to remember. If the pain becomes The whole of life, even if you get revenge, what will you do after that? What can you do?

Xue Yelai sighed, his voice softer, as if he was muttering to himself.

"When I was in the underground passage, I vaguely remembered something. At the beginning, I was the one who took your mother back for the second time. I was very young at that time, about three or five years old, I can't remember It's clear, because my father sealed my memory. But your mother must remember me. I'm sure she saw me when I attacked her. However, she hid it from you.

"I may never know the reason. But I think, in her heart, she actually wants to forget the hatred. As an individual, she wants to find an outlet for the suffering she has suffered. You are the continuation of her life. If even you If you don't know what she has been through, then her suffering is meaningless. But as a mother, she doesn't want to let this kind of pain happen to you again.

"So she's been struggling, wanting to forget and not being able to forget. It's like she put that tattoo on you and kept it hidden from you. She alone raised you to be so strong She is a warrior of the Xue family, but she didn’t make any demands on you, and didn’t force you to make any promise of revenge to her. If it wasn’t for a coincidence, you should never have met anyone from the Xue family in your life. The pain she instilled in you is also One day it will fade away in your memory. I think, maybe this is what your mother really wants to see. Her struggle is because of her compassion."

Bai Yang's mental fluctuations gradually stabilized.Xue Yelai removed his palms to visit, Bai Yang's eyes were closed tightly, and he had already fallen into a deep sleep, with slight wet marks at the corners of his eyes.

Fingers caressed the other's eyelashes, slid across the cheek, and touched the pair of slightly parted lips.

Xue Yelai leaned over and kissed them.Soft, warm touch, lingering on the tip of the tongue.

"It's not easy to forget hatred, I understand, I really understand. But, you must remember compassion, remember compassion. Don't let hatred blind your heart forever and destroy your life."

Xue Ye came to help Bai Yang put on his clothes.

It was still Bai Yang's usual battle uniform, although it was a bit damaged, it was enough to cover his body.Under the current circumstances, there is no condition to find a new dress.

Xue Yelai hugged him and walked out of the dark room.

The crabapple flower link connecting the two mental thresholds has disappeared.Xue Yelai canceled the contract between them and sealed Bai Yang's memory about them.

To restore the locked memory, in addition to spiritual guidance, an item directly related to the memory object is needed as a "key".

Bai Yang did not have any personal items belonging to Xue Yelai.His emotional relationship with Xue Yelai has always been kept secret, and no outsider knows about it.In the future, even if other people mention Xue Yelai in front of Bai Yang, Bai Yang will only remember that there was such a person who made a contract, and he can't think of anything more.

After all, love, like hatred, is nothing but a memory.

The people are still gathered in place.The difference is that all spiritual links between warriors and sages are gone.Some warriors still follow their sages in a daze, like slaves who have just been unshackled, at a loss in front of the sudden freedom.Other warriors stood on the other side away from the sage, intending to part ways with the sage.

Xue Yelai walked straight to Xuesong, and put Baiyang in front of him: "Please help me take him away. He will wake up after a while, before that, please take care of him."

Xue Song was taken aback, "What about you?"

"I want to stay here until the end." Xue Yelai smiled, "I'll leave after you all leave." He patted Xue Song on the shoulder, "We may not be able to meet again in the future, take care."

Xue Song hesitated, and stretched out a hand to him: "Ye Lai, thank you. When you asked me to come over from Cao Ge, I should have said thank you to you. I understand that you don't need to be with me. Cao Ge made that bet to protect me, lest I be punished when I return to Cao’s house. You are a good person, and you should be rewarded. Don’t worry, I will take care of Bai Yang.”

Xue Yelai was speechless, and hugged the other party vigorously, only feeling mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.Back then he made a bet with Cao Ge for the cedar, it was indeed for the purpose of protecting the cedar, but it was nothing more than a little effort.For noble sons like them, handing over a warrior is like handing over an item.But if he hadn't made such an unnecessary move back then, where would the current Cedar be?

His father once said to him: You can never predict how your little effort may change the fate of another person.So, but do good deeds, don't ask about the way forward.

Everything is going according to plan.The cooperation between the underground city and the Xue family was extremely efficient, and one aircraft after another entered the scheduled space orbit.

When he learned that the aircraft that Xue Song and Bai Yang were riding on had already taken off, Xue Yelai's heart instantly felt at ease, but suddenly he felt a little disappointed.

Bai Yang left.

During those nights when he was tortured by loneliness and anxiety, Bai Yang's powerful embrace was his warmest comfort.More than once, he fantasized about the future of two people together, but in the end, they can only become passers-by in each other's lives.

While counting the remaining number of people, Xue Ruheng's voice came from the headset: "The latest news, the mobile force of the Interstellar Federation has landed by air. We have to hurry up. How many groups of people do you have?"

"There are two other groups." Xue Yelai thought for a while, "The Interstellar Federation also has people with spiritual abilities. With so many sages gathered together, it is easy to be detected. In this way, I will separate the two groups of people and go along the underground track. Go forward. You send two transport vehicles to shuttle back and forth, leave as soon as they are full, don’t stop, and don’t wait. Even if some of us are discovered by the Interstellar Federation, we won’t be wiped out.”

"That's the only way." Xue Ruheng pondered, "I'll make arrangements and keep in touch."

Xue Yelai ordered the new plan, "From now on, everyone will act independently and move forward along the underground track to reduce the chance of being discovered. If this underground track is occupied by the mobile infantry of the Interstellar Federation, the rest of us will No one can leave."

After making the corresponding arrangements, Xue Yelai watched as the last group of members of the family pulled into a long, sparse line and walked to the depths of the underground track.Then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction alone.

"Ye Lai, where are you going?" the Great Elder called him from behind, "That's the way to the ground!"

"My mental power is out of control." Xue Yelai replied lightly, "Keeping a distance from you will make us all safer. If I can't make it in time, don't wait for me."

"Ye Lai, you don't mean to—"

"I said, don't wait for me." Xue Yelai stepped up without looking back, and quickly turned the corner.

Before reaching the ground, the sound of the explosion shook his eardrums.

The mobile armored infantry of the Interstellar Federation is advancing rapidly. □□Exploded in every corner of the city, illuminating the night sky like daytime.

Space age warfare has too many ways to massacre your enemy.Nonetheless, the Interstellar Convention considers the use of weapons such as infrasonic bombs to be inhumane.Therefore, the Interstellar Federation still adopted the ancient "from street to street" type of battle, and the motorized armored infantry carried out carpet sweeps in the city to eliminate the armed forces of the Empire and give civilians a chance to escape.

However, looking at the scene in front of him, Xue Yelai was not sure whether such an approach was more benevolent than infrasonic weapons.

Standing on a high place and looking around, as far as the eye can see, there are raging flames everywhere.The shock wave rolled into a heat wave, sweeping ashes and dust, steaming a high wall of scorching clouds reaching the sky.The majestic imperial palace of the past has become a huge ruin. In the burning night, there is the roar of heaven and earth collapsing.

There are several strong signals in the spiritual threshold, which are the "Shaman" of the Star Federation.Obviously, they were searching for psychics, and gradually approached the underground shelter.

Xue Yelai immediately moved away from the underground shelter at full speed, opening his mental threshold to the limit.He doesn't have mobile armor, but he is more familiar with the terrain than the opponent, using the buildings that have not been destroyed to quickly travel between the blocks.

The "shamans" quickly became aware of his presence.At first only a few people turned to his position, but they soon discovered that his mental power was terrifyingly strong.So the group of "shamans" all stopped, detected his coordinates, and cautiously outflanked him.

Xue Ruheng's voice rang in Xue Yelai's ears accompanied by the sound of machine guns in the distance: "I have received a group of your people. Where are you? There is only one aircraft left, hurry up. I won't wait for you human."

"Well, there's no need to wait." Xue Yelai stepped on the broken wall and swept up, avoiding the flying fragments of stray bullets, turning and shuttling like a swallow in the rainstorm, "When the last aircraft takes off, send me a signal. The louder the better, I have a lot of noise here."

"..." Xue Ruheng said something over there, but Xue Yelai couldn't hear clearly.A loud crack exploded beside him, a portable howitzer.

Xue Yelai took off again, his figure was as fast as lightning, and the wind whistled in his ears.There were more and more federal soldiers in the mental threshold, and he entered the area where the enemy was dense.Several "shamans" were chasing after him.There are very few people with spiritual abilities in the Interstellar Federation, and their abilities are relatively weak, so they are very afraid of the sages of the empire.In a battle in history, the strongest sage in the empire once controlled all the federal soldiers wielding heavy weapons in an area and counterattacked the federal camp.Since then, the Interstellar Federation has given the highest priority to "hunting sages". Once sages are found in battle, they will concentrate their firepower to destroy them first.

In this way, the federal soldiers in this area and the few "shamans" all focused on Xue Yelai and stayed away from the underground shelter.

The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Xue Yelai's body began to become heavy, and the exhaustion and numbness caused by excessive use of mental power also permeated his mind.

Suddenly there was a sharp "whoosh", as if something had passed through his leg.The huge restraining force made his body stagnate suddenly, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it, only feeling that his hand was sticky and wet, but he didn't feel any pain.

It doesn't seem like it can hold on for too long.Xue Yelai gathered his strength to capture the sound in the earphones.Are they all gone?How long?How long?

Finally, a sharp sound piercing the air came from the earphones.Xue Yelai covered his ears in disbelief and listened carefully. There was nothing wrong.The long and short beeps repeated several times, which was the signal for the launch of the last aircraft.

Xue Yelai took a deep breath, took off the earphones, and threw them together with the family badge into the fire at his feet.

Amidst the apocalyptic scene, Xue Yelai staggered up the dilapidated high platform, identifying the direction of home.I still remember that morning, when he left home to take the sage exam, before he left, he pestered his father to ask what prize he would get if he came in the top three in the exam.He thought he would go back soon, but the fact is that since that day, "home" has become an elusive dream.

Dad, I have done what you have entrusted to me.

But, I really want to go home, I really want to go home.

Xue Yelai suddenly felt relaxed.This long coming-of-age ceremony is finally coming to an end.

"Target found! Target found!" The nearest "shaman" searched through the observation eyepiece for the figure standing above the fire, and called his companions in the communicator.

"The target's mental ability is very strong, don't get too close. Use heavy weapons to directly destroy the area where the target is located."

"receive."

A self-propelled armored electromagnetic gun appeared within the effective range, and its muzzle was raised high, locking on Xue Yelai's position.

Before it was launched, Xue Yelai closed his eyes, leaned back, and fell from the high platform.

Red flames shot up into the sky everywhere, engulfing his figure in an instant.
