After 10 minutes, tea time is over.

33 packed up the cups and saucers, and exited Rogge's office nervously.

Ferlin, who hadn't spoken all this time, looked at Rogge. "Why do you have to do this? It's not that you don't know his character. Their digital stars never explain it."

A wry smile appeared on Roger's face.

"33 has been with me since I was a child. He is my servant and my staff. I always think he is the most rational and calmest, but recently I think my views on him may not be comprehensive. Although he is often rational and calm Logically, he is still human after all, and he can make some common mistakes that humans make."

"I would rather interpret his behavior as that he wanted to protect you." Flynn spoke for 33.

33 is diligent, low-key, and dedicated. He works hard by Rogge's side and is Rogge's indispensable assistant.Feilin didn't want to see a rift between the master and servant.

"His desire to control is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that I feel that I am losing my freedom." Roger is very distressed.

"Maybe you should tell him in another way, he is very smart, and he should figure it out soon." Ferrin persuaded Rogge.

Roger shook his head helplessly. "Giving him more opportunities for what he believes will only make him more right."

He knows 33 too well, people who respect logic are also people who accept death.Once they determine that a logic is correct, he will go all the way to the dark and will not change.

33 is the person who has been with Roger the longest and is most familiar with his privacy.Rogge was reluctant to drive away 33 unless it was a last resort.

But if the gap between them continues to deepen, he worries that something he doesn't want to see will happen sooner or later.

The next afternoon, the Office of the Minister of Defense on the top floor of the Military Building welcomed a long-lost guest, Major General Rogge.

The person who was more nervous than him was the current Minister of Defense who sat behind his desk and watched him step by step, the nearly sixty-year-old First-Class General George Rogue.

After not seeing him for several months, his only son seemed to be more mature and capable.But it is more surprising than appreciation, because the strangeness between father and son has become more and more profound.

"Sir, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to see me." Rogge said politely in official terms.

The Minister of Defense smiled wryly. "Please sit down."

"I don't want to take up any more of your time, I just want to ask you two questions." Major General Rogge sat down opposite the Minister of Defense.

The chief of defense's face was slightly stiff. "Two questions?"

"Yes, first, I would like to know the oil paintings of the "Angel Series" in our house, the Haynes house, the Horn house, and the Rand house, and their author, the centaur princess named Mesa .Its cause of death.”Major General Rogge.

"Oh." The Minister of Defense pondered, frowning slightly.While thinking, he opened the drawer, took out a cigar and lit it slowly. "What about the second question?"

"Secondly, I want to know who is the person Haines has been looking for?" Roger continued.

"..." The chief of defense did not say a word.

The unique aroma of high-quality tobacco lingered in the room, and the face of the Minister of Defense was a little blurred in the smoke.

"Your question is very unusual. Can I understand that you have come to see me because you haven't found an ideal answer through your investigation?" The Minister of Defense spoke while thinking.

"That's right." Major General Rogge didn't shy away from admitting the fact.

"I'm happy to answer your question, but this story may be much crueler than you think. Are you ready?" the chief of defense reminded Rogge cautiously.

"Yes." Major General Roger was sure.

The chief of defense exhaled a few more puffs of smoke before saying, "Well, it's time to tell you something."

As he spoke, he put out his cigar in the ashtray, and reached out to turn on the phone of the secretary in the office. "I want a first-level anti-eavesdropping status, half an hour."

Major General Rogge was slightly surprised.

The first-level anti-eavesdropping status is a combat-level security measure, which means that the office of the chief of defense will be cut off from all connections with the outside world.Every word spoken here is top secret, and there is absolutely no possibility of being eavesdropped.

Is it necessary to use such a high level of security to talk about a woman of the Centaur tribe who has been dead for many years?Or is it that the mystery of Qiu's life experience poses such a great threat to mankind?

"Let's talk about Mesa first. Her death was not an ordinary accident, but an organized and premeditated assassination seven years ago. It was Congress that approved the operation, and the military department was involved in the planning. The people who will carry it out are the best soldiers under our command." The Minister of Defense finished these words in one breath, not surprised at all by the obvious shock of the listeners.

That person in front of him was still in school that year, and news of this shocking military headquarters was strictly sealed.

"What's the reason?" The major general asked with a cold face.

The chief of defense is very calm. "The Supreme Court found her guilty of crimes against humanity."

"What charges?" Major General.

Minister of Defense: "She used superstition to create rumors to slander human beings, saying that human beings committed unforgivable crimes by killing innocent people indiscriminately, and threatened that the universe would be destroyed as a result. Her prophecy was deeply believed by the centaurs. Minorities in the universe have demanded Human beings disclose the truth and take responsibility, and some people propose to amend the existing system so that humans can no longer be in charge of the Star Alliance, and even ask humans to go back to Earth... These are things we cannot agree to."

"Since the court ruled her guilty, why didn't she be arrested and interrogated through proper legal channels?" Rogge looked at his father.

The chief of defense was a little embarrassed. "I think the president also wanted to avoid causing social turmoil. You know that the opinions of Congress are not always unified. If there is a mistake in the vote, the president will not be able to deal with it. Besides, there was a lot of internal and external pressure at that time. The president was like a tree in the wilderness. He will fall wherever the wind blows."

"In other words, Mesa did not oppose humanity. She just wanted to ask for an explanation for that tribe, and asked humans to face up to their own history. So she was assassinated?" Major General Rogge was a little excited.

"I am also sorry for her death, but I have no choice." Admiral Roger.

"Did you deceive yourself like this when you signed the order?" Major General Rogge's disappointment was beyond words.

"I don't want to ask for trouble." The Minister of Defense looked at his son seriously with iron gray eyes. "This world is cruel. You can either be a hunter or a prey. There is absolutely no third possibility."

"..." Major General Rogge didn't speak, he didn't agree with this statement at all.

"What about those paintings? What do the paintings represent?" Roger asked.

"Shortly after her death, several of our families received oil paintings from people one after another. They said that she knew this would happen a long time ago, so she made preparations in advance. The meaning of those oil paintings is the content of her prophecy. Every family Everyone will experience a scene in the oil painting. Those prophecies will be fulfilled one by one in the future." The chief of defense sighed faintly after speaking.

"Did you understand the oil painting given to you?" Major General Rogge asked.

The captain shook his head. "I can't see anything, but your mother said she got it, so she hung it up in the bedroom."

"What is the truth that Mesa wants to disclose?" Rogge continued to ask.

The defense secretary did not immediately respond.He picked up the cigar and lit it again, his face blurred again as the smoke filled the air.After coming over for a while, he opened his mouth. "That's probably the second question you asked."

Major General Rogge had a very ominous premonition.

"About 700 years ago, humans discovered a very ancient ethnic group in the universe. They are the remains of the last human civilization. They are called Noahs. They live on a remote planet. They are proficient in agriculture and love astronomy and calendar. Painting and poetry, they live the most simple and natural life. Be very friendly to anyone.

"Our scientists have studied them and found that they have the same genes as humans and speak a language similar to humans. It's just that their technology is far less developed than humans. They have no electricity, no energy sources, and no spacecraft. They have never I have left my own planet and I don’t know what the outside world looks like.”

"Is there any problem with this?" Major General Roger.

"Yes, everyone didn't pay attention to this planet at the beginning. But after hundreds of years, someone suddenly discovered that the Noahs have some amazing abilities. They are proficient in certain algorithms and can skillfully apply the power of matter in different dimensions .They can create a huge distorted space-time with only their hands, and they can use the power of time-distortion to know anything that happens in the universe...

"Human beings are delighted by their supernatural powers but then fearful. Human beings worry that Noah's ability will threaten human beings. Later, scientists discovered in an experiment that the time axis of the universe is moving quietly, so some people began to suspect that Noah The subhumans used special means to establish the hyperspace gate. But the Noahs explained it very plainly, they said it was the influence of dark matter. So human beings know that they know much more about dark matter than human beings. This makes human beings even more disturbed.

"Later, some scholars speculated that the Noahs could use their own abilities to activate unknown energy, travel through time and space to change history, and the history of mankind could be easily rewritten by them. Once this inference appeared, it immediately caused strong panic among members of Congress, and Congress held a meeting After secret consultations, the Legislative Council voted overnight to pass an extinction bill. Noahs are listed as a dangerous species..."

"What?" Roger was stunned.

"Yes, everyone on their planet has the ability to control unknown energy. That ability is innate. If one person slips through the net, he may activate the unknown energy and pose a threat to mankind."

"So humans brazenly slaughtered an ancient civilization in the name of law?" Major General Rogge looked at his father in disbelief.

The Minister of Defense was noncommittal, but just scratched his head and said: "Human beings were relatively impatient 300 years ago."

Major General Rogge understood everything.

Why do I negotiate with Sagittarius, I always feel that Sagittarius has been hostile to humans from the bottom of their hearts.And the pointed-eared senator always watched his face carefully.The original root is here.
