Interstellar leader

Walking out of the military prison on Hongshixing, there is a desolation in front of you.There are not many buildings in this place. The plain is covered with new snow, which is flat and without traces. In some places, it sinks with the soil, revealing withered and yellow grass stubbles, which are mottled and dazzling.The setting sun is gradually westward, and the lower edge is close to the horizon. The blazing light turns red, passing through the mist, a blood-red desolation.

At the end of the platform stood the figure of a woman, with a straight and tall figure, wearing a neat gray-blue military uniform on her body.She heard movement behind her, turned her head, clenched her hands into fists, and frowned.

It's Hehir.

Li Qing and their car were hovering on the edge of the platform. He walked over, thinking that Heyciel seemed to have something to say, so he might as well talk to her before leaving.

Hehir watched them approaching, but didn't speak, just turned his head to look at the snow field in the early cold, the bright white ice and snow were slowly being soaked into blood red by the setting sun, the sky gradually changed from light blue to gray, and the night was changing from the sky The four sides infiltrated in, and there was a huge rift valley in the center of the plains and hills, like a scar that has not healed on this planet for years.

For a long time, she still looked into the distance, her eyes were a little blank, and she forced a smile on her face.Her lips moved slightly, and she softly uttered a sentence: "I didn't expect that the last sentence in his life turned out to be calling me mentally retarded."

Both Li Qing and Joerg remained silent, there was no need to interrupt, all comfort was pale words in the face of the death of their friend.Hehir twitched the corner of his mouth again, showing an ugly smile, his voice inevitably choked up. "How I wish he could scold me again, even if he scolds me for being mentally retarded every day. Unfortunately, when I just realized that we are actually a bad friend, this friend has already left me forever."

"Is that theory of yours true?" She looked straight at Joerg and asked him.

"I can't promise." Jörg said deliberatively, looking very serious now. "Any conjecture is uncertain until it is fully verified. Even if it is completely verified and correct, it may be overturned one day. You don't have to blame yourself for the idea that Lynn died instead of you, because the point is not It’s about what the truth is—the truth of the world will never be known, what matters is what you think the truth is. In short, just look forward.”

There was a puzzled look in Hehir's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a determined light.Li Qing asked her: "You will take care of his army for him, won't you?"

Hai Xier responded in a low voice, Li Qing patted her on the shoulder, turned and left.When their car disappeared into the sky and became a small dot, Hehir clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind.

When we got back to our residence, it was already dark.In the dense night, warm and bright orange lights are lit in the corridors and rooms. The temperature control system controls the temperature and humidity of the whole building quite pleasantly. human aroma.The lover beside him held his hand and gave him a warm smile.

Li Qing was in a trance for a while.

It feels a little like... home.

Walking through the flames of war, dancing on the edge of life and death, wandering in the universe like a ghost, the soul travels through different universes, not knowing where it comes from.It's like suddenly jumping down from the galaxy and falling into the gentle mortal world. If the size of the universe is confusing, at least from now on, Li Qing has found a destination.No matter how he wanders, the small world with Jörg is his life's harbor.

While eating, Joerg said, "Don't move."

"Huh?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, Joerg stretched out his hand, took a wet towel, and gently wiped off the little bit of mashed potatoes on his face.

"Why are you still acting like a child, you're so ugly when you eat." That's what he said, but there was no hint of blame in his tone, it was full of pampering.

How could it be ugly?The gentle gaze in the blue eyes seems to want to engrave the lover in front of him in his heart.Telling about him who is serious and confident when he is in micro-connection, he who is rational and cold when he is on the battlefield, he who is restrained for himself in bed, and this cute and confused look now... all make him obsessed.

"How can there be so much attention in front of you." Li Qingman said nonchalantly. "Do you know how miserable I was in the empire? God knows where they got so much etiquette, tableware set after set, I can code from 001 to 145, why should humans embarrass humans, there are really cat cakes, tsk .”

"What do you think about Lynn?"

Li Qing stopped what he was doing and thought for a while. "If our conjecture is correct, there is a connection between each parallel universe, which will constantly correct the direction of events, and eventually make their spiritual and material activities all go to the same distribution, which is what we call 'destiny' and 'The Ending'. So is the connection strong or weak? Is it the same in every parallel universe?"

"Perhaps it can be represented by a parameter..."

Joerg poked a piece of carrot with a fork and brought it to Li Qing's mouth, and the latter curled his lips and moved away without a trace.

"Yo." Joerg raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I can't tell, are you still a picky eater?"

"I never liked to eat since I was a child."

"Then what don't you like to eat?"

Li Qing thought about it. "All onions, beef, fried foods, peppers, high-sugar sweets."

"It's really hard to raise." Joerg poked his face with a smile.

"how about you?"

"Huh?" Joerg was a little surprised.

"I asked what you like to eat." Li Qing poked the onion on the plate, and threw it aside with a look of disgust. "Aren't you very aggrieved before, saying that I don't know you at all? I'm starting to understand now. Do you want to take a small notebook and write it down, dear?"

"What else do you need... a small notebook? What is that?"

"Hmm... It's just that boys in the earth age used paper and pen or mobile phones to write down her requests one by one in order not to annoy their girlfriends or wives." Li Qing looked at him and smiled.

"That's it." Jorge realized something was wrong while imagining how humans in the Earth Age would write with pen and paper, and curled his lips. "Who is your wife? Husband."

Unexpectedly, Li Qing smiled and lowered her voice and said: "Husband." The voice was deep and magnetic, with a sweet ending, which made half of Jörg's body numb and his ears flushed.

"You will blush too." They sat facing each other, and Li Qing stretched out his hand across the dining table to touch Jorge's earlobe. "It's so hot."

Joerg took his hand away. "Eat quickly, picky eater."

Li Qing put down the knife and fork, bent his eyes and smiled. "I'm full, I want to eat you."

Joerg really blushed this time.

·

After eating, it was already twenty o'clock in the place. Li came out of the shower and found that Jorge was wearing a bathrobe after washing. He didn't hold any tablet or bracelet that kept sending messages. He just leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows and quietly sit down.The dim light outlines his silhouette, which, together with the silhouette of the dark distant mountains in the distance, forms a beautiful and peaceful painting.

"No business today? It's really strange."

Joerg smiled. "Well, I think it's strange too."

Li Qing walked over gently, hugged him from behind, put his hands around his thin waist, put his chin on his shoulders, turned his head to kiss Jorge's face, very lightly and tenderly.

They hugged each other silently, and a hunting wind blew outside the window. The tree that had lost all its leaves outside the building had many branches broken off and spread messily on the ground not far away.On a clear day, there are no clouds, and the night sky is full of stars.

"Joel, do you think those trees are conscious?" He murmured in Joerg's ear.

"There must be..." Joerg paused. "What consciousness?"

"I mean, intelligence—awareness of one's own existence, awareness of one's surroundings. It's not just a simple evolutionary bioelectrical communication, that's instinct."

Joerg thought for a while. "If micro-connections are the physical manifestation of thinking, then the number of micro-connections in different individuals is different. You call this the l constant, right? Humans must be higher than animals, and animals must be higher than plants—of course , is the majority. As for how much this number counts as 'wisdom', it's really hard to say. At least, the wisdom we talk about is also for human beings, and we don't know if there is a higher existence."

"Maybe in the eyes of that existence, we are not much different from Paramecium."

"Li Qing."

"Ok?"

Joerg turned his head, the dim light reflected in his eyes, which seemed extraordinarily bright in the darkness. "Tell me, if the micro-connection is completely uncovered in your lifetime, will you feel that life is meaningless?"

Li Qing smiled. "It used to be."

Joerg looked at him incredulously.Li Qing said: "After the interrogation of Liszt, I told you that sometimes obsession is more terrifying than love. In fact, everyone lives for the obsession of their own life, for their unfulfilled ideals. "

"Let me tell you now, I am most interested in the obsession of this world, and I can never get tired of it. There are two things." Li Qing stretched out two fingers, and said slowly: "One is micro-connection."

"The other one is you."

"Microconnections may have an end, but your soul does not."

"You are one of the meanings of my life."

Jörg was almost breathless, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak at all, he climbed up Li Qing's cheek with trembling fingers, stood up and hugged him into his arms, and kissed him frantically, from forehead, eyebrows, earlobes , to the neck and collarbone, and further down, he could clearly feel Li Qing's body trembling.

"Joel..." Li Qing shouted in a hoarse voice.

Joerg carried him to the bed. "Want it?"

"I want to..." Li Qing kissed him back, lay half on the bed, wrapped his arms around Jorge's waist, and let him sit on his body.The young and handsome blond man unbuttoned his bathrobe, exposing his body to his lover, smiled, and licked the corner of his lips seductively with the tip of his tongue.

"Honey, your mouth is very sweet today."

"I learned from you." Li Qing blinked slyly.

Joerg lowered his head and stroked his body with his palms. "You have to pay tuition."

"Okay." Li Qing brushed his lover's sensitive area with his fingertips, and said with a smirk, "I put it all in your body, are you satisfied?"

Joerg punched him lightly, with a smile in his trembling voice. "When did you become so shameless?"

"Of course I learned it from you. Do I still have to pay the tuition? Well..."

"For the sake of your sweet mouth today, I'll give you a reward, dear." The man on the body narrowed his eyes, his cheeks flushed with desire.

"Lie down and enjoy, I'll move."

·

In front of his eyes was a big explosion erupting in the black cosmic space. White light and heat waves filled his sight, and he only knew that he was in a spaceship.The huge energy instantly turned the human body into fly ash, and even the most basic molecular structure was completely washed away.The time is so short that you can't feel it at all. The only perception is that there is no perception, like a circuit that is cut off in an instant, and everything is gone.

Nothing but nothingness.

Is this death?

No, I don't want to die—

"what--"

Li Qing screamed and sat up from the bed, sweating all over his head, and even his body was drenched in sweat.In the room with a room temperature of 25 degrees, my body was shivering with cold, as if in a world of ice and snow, and my teeth were chattering up and down.He wanted to move, but there was a sharp pain in his head, as if a stick was stirring inside, followed by dizziness.

Joerg lay beside him, with one arm still around his waist.Woke up by his movement, opened his eyes in a daze, and pulled his arm.

At this time, Li Qing's mind that regained his thinking ability realized that he had a dream.

A dream of the same death prophecy as Ackerman's.
