Silver Crystal Flower [Interstellar]

Millions of light-years away, the round table meeting is not over yet.

"Heruklin, your point of view is very interesting." Bertram gave him an appreciative look.

Heruklin put his right hand on his chest and bowed to Bertram, "Thank you, General Marshal, I have finished my words."

Bertram nodded, indicating that he could return to his seat, "Moira, let Quentan disappear from here, we don't need to get anything from him."

Moira's execution ability was very high. As soon as he finished speaking, Quintan didn't even have time to make another sound, and his figure disappeared from the center.

Bertram sat on the seat for a while, until Heruklin and Moira returned to their positions, he stood up, and at some point in his hand, a silver crutch was added, the handle was carved with intricate male figures. lion pattern.

He walked slowly into the central aperture, and an old and tenacious voice sounded, "No matter what the purpose of this war is, the first rebellion happened in my office in 270 and four months after the alliance was established. You can't imagine how I felt when I heard the news."

Bertram smiled wryly, and said, "I have known Quintan Buga for nearly a hundred years, and I never thought he would betray."

After saying that, he suppressed his smile, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone present. The sadness in Eagle's eyes made him look no longer energetic. At this moment, he looked like a real old man.

"Honestly, I'm sad."

"The alliance is a colossus. She is too huge, and no force in the interstellar world can shake her, but because of this, I am more worried. Gu, I know that there is an old saying in your country, 'The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest ', is that what you said?"

Gu Kelin replied: "Yes, Marshal, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests."

Bertram received a response, and he continued: "If one day the behemoth of the alliance is going to collapse, it will only start from within. I hope that Quintan will not start this way, and I hope that none of you here will become This is the beginning. We are soldiers, defending our home and country, and guarding Asgard. This is the sole purpose of the existence of the Alliance soldiers, and it is also the original intention of the establishment of the entire Star Alliance.”

After he finished speaking, Gu Kelin stood up first, with his right fist resting on his chest, "I swear by my glory and blood, that I will be loyal to human beings and defend Asgard to the death."

After him, everyone stood up and solemnly recited the oath that belongs to every Union soldier.

Bertram waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down, "I haven't told the council about Condela's matter."

When he said this, he smiled, with a hint of sarcasm, "Politicians look at problems much more troublesome than us soldiers. If they know about this, there may be a few of them who will applaud in private."

"Since Kondra has reappeared, should we also make plans earlier?" It was General Walsh of District 7 who spoke.

Bertram replied: "Of course—no matter where this Kondra came from, it means that this kind of bug is not completely extinct. I need everyone to be prepared. If Gein Haili can't bring us good news, the Alliance We must take the initiative to go to the distant stars to find their lairs. The battle at dusk must never be repeated, and we must prevent problems before they happen."

Walsh asked again: "What do you need us to do?"

Bertram thought for a while, and asked, "Hmm... How long has it been since Gein Haili entered the leaping gate?"

Gu Kelin glanced at the optical brain and replied: "32 hours and 36 minutes."

After Nidhogg pursued Kondra and entered the portal, the vacuum domain disappeared. They repelled the remaining Zerg, cleaned up the battlefield, and quickly returned to Heimdall to hold this meeting.

"Wait for another 10 hours," Bertram said, "I always have a hunch that Geinhaili will bring us good news. Of course, if there is no contact from him after 10 hours, Asgard will immediately contact you." Enter the state of preparation, this time humans will take the initiative to attack."

"Shiley."

He heard someone calling his name, in a soft, elegant tone, not familiar to him, but with a sense of intimacy that made him close, and he opened his eyes in the chaos.

With golden wavy hair and sapphire-like eyes, she was looking down at him from above. Her fingertips gently brushed away the broken hair on Xi Lie's forehead, and gently stroked his forehead.

It may be that the sun is too dazzling, or it may be that Xi Lai has not woken up yet, her facial features are a little fuzzy, and Xi Lai narrowed her eyes.

He is lying on someone's lap.

"Honey, did you sleep well?"

Golden curly hair, is that Aina Eun?No, no, Ainan's eyes are the same deep sea blue as his, sky blue eyes, are they Sethera?No, Sethra has silver hair.

A burst of crisp laughter suddenly came from the ear, "Mom, Shiley is sleeping stupidly!" It was Sethera's voice.

Shiley's eyes widened, and he sat up immediately, only to find that the top of his head couldn't reach the chin of the person holding him.

"Sethera, don't move, I haven't finished drawing yet." Another gentle female voice sounded, and Xi Lai turned her head, and there were two figures sitting not far away, and there was a drawing board in front of Ainan, Holding a paintbrush and palette in his hand, he looked helplessly and fondly at Sethera who was sitting in front of the white rose bush.

Sethera still looks like a little girl, wearing a knee-length skirt, sitting on a chair, her feet can't reach the ground, and the corners of her skirt are crumpled from the angle that Ainan can't see, "How long will it take? My legs are numb!"

Ainan speeded up the color adjustment, "It will be ready soon, just hold on for a while."

Sethra pouted, looking dissatisfied, but finally sat down obediently.

At this moment, someone touched the top of his head, and Xi Lai turned his head back to look at the person who was holding him, and he saw the inverted shadow in those sky blue eyes——

Small, even smaller than Sethera.

The person who couldn't see the facial features kissed him on the cheek, and Xi Lai felt as if he was slowly waking up. From the long and restless nightmare, the anxiety caused by the nightmare still remained in his body.In that nightmare, Ainaen, Sesera, and their mother left him forever, leaving him alone in the painful world.

This is an ordinary afternoon.

In the back garden of the Visquier Palace, Ainaen was painting Sesera, while he lay on his mother's lap and took a not-so-sweet nap.

"Hey, what do you want for dinner?"

Sethra immediately yelled: "Mom, you are too partial! Every time you only ask Xi Lai what you want to eat!"

Ainan smiled and said, "Hey Lai is still young, Seth La, you are a big sister."

"I don't care, I don't care, Mom, I want to eat pine tail fish, fried crispy, and chestnut pudding for dessert!" Sesera sat on the chair and swung her legs so fast that Ainan had to stop writing.

"Okay, okay, I'll let them prepare, you sit down and let Ainan finish the painting..."

Sethera put her legs in place, and grinned at Hille, showing two small canine teeth.

All of this couldn't be more real, the heat of the sun, the touch of the skin, sight, hearing, smell, he clearly smelled the scent of white roses, and the indescribable but sweet and soft smell from the person holding him.

But Hilley felt like a bystander.

Everything was in order, but there seemed to be something wrong, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

"What's the matter, dear?"

Those hands gently rubbed his face, and he shook his head, indicating that he was fine.The other party's palm was warm and soft, gently caressing his face, and Xi Lai's body smelled like it, it was a reassuring smell.

He snuggled into the other person's arms again, the arms were not too big, just enough to accommodate him, the other person smiled lightly and said, "Why are you so clingy today, haven't you woken up yet?"

Yes, I haven't woken up yet.

Shirley finally realized what was wrong——

His mother died of illness when he was one year old. He remembered Ainaen and Sesera, but he had no memory of his mother.

This was his dream, so he couldn't see her face clearly, because he couldn't remember it at all.

The moment he realized this, the picture suddenly broke in the middle, and the black crack divided everything into two halves.

Like a shattered mirror, with the appearance of the first crack, more and more cracks spread across the entire picture at an unstoppable speed, all peace and tranquility exploded, and in the endless darkness, shattered into thousands of pieces .

Countless crystal fragments floated in the black void, and each fragment had a different scene floating on it. Those fragments were clearly so small and so far away from him, but Xi Lai could clearly see the content on each fragment.

He stood in the center of the black world, looking around blankly.

In the first fragment, Ainan held his hand, Sesera was beside him, they hid in an inconspicuous corner, amidst thousands of voices, his father took another woman hand, brought her the crown that should have belonged to their mother;

In the second fragment, Ai Naen is wearing a snow-white dress, followed by many soldiers, her long golden hair is tied up, and her face is full of tears. The warp ship, Shirley recognized the shape of her mouth, she said "Farewell";

In the third fragment, at his father's [-]th birthday dinner, Sethra appeared in the crowd, her eyes that were once as bright as sapphires were dead silent, she followed behind a man expressionlessly , the raised collar of the dress could not cover the bruise marks on her neck, and she seemed to have never heard anyone approached to greet her;

In the fourth shard...he saw himself.

In the dark and small room, his hands and feet were bound, he cried and begged, spit out intermittent and lascivious moans, because of lust and pain, his body was boneless Like a real worm, wriggling, twisting, and curling up, he can still recall everything at that time, the despair of wanting to die immediately.

Tens of thousands of fragments are constantly alternating, spreading out all the unbearable memories that he has sealed deep in his mind, and showing them mercilessly in front of his eyes, reminding him that this is the truth, the truth that belongs to him——

Scary, painful, lonely, dirty, real.

Debris surrounded him overwhelmingly, and he couldn't find any way out of this empty space.

He suddenly felt very tired. The exhaustion was pouring into his heart like a raging sea, and it was about to swallow his isolated island like a huge wave. As long as he takes one step forward, he will fall and go to the other side of the world he doesn't know.

That's fine, maybe they're all waiting for me, in the abyss of this sea, Shirley thought.

He closed his eyes, completely relaxed his body, felt the power in his body drain and dissipate from the pores, and he stepped forward——

His ears were full of human voices, he seemed to hear Sesera's crisp laughter, and also seemed to hear Ainan softly saying to him:

"Come on, Shirley, come to us."

The author has something to say:

I think everyone has a hard time when they think it's over, but they don't take action

It may be to close your eyes and sleep, it may be to eat something delicious, or it may be to have a heart-to-heart with your parents, friends and lover, and you can regain your courage =v=
