Future Crystal Crown

The cruelty of history always makes people feel sad. For this universe, time is eternal, but life is always too short.To outrun the power of nature, human beings are far from enough.

Qiu kept moving his fingers, urging the crystal to speed up.He wanted to find out about the Centaur's interstellar protective shield as soon as possible, and he wanted to know how the Noah Lantis people built that protective shield back then.

However, there were too many files, and the contents of the layers of files were mixed with each other, and the search was not yet proficient for Qiu.Yau tried many times, but the results were not ideal.There is no clear text telling Yau how to patch that hole.

The crystal seemed to have sensed Qiu's anxiety, and the brightness became stronger and stronger as it sped up the presentation.

Qiu frantically searched through the vast sea of ​​text, but he didn't realize that the brightness in the room had far exceeded the normal range.And at this moment, upstairs in the science and technology department opposite, someone has noticed the abnormal brightness here.The man slowly opened the curtains and stared intently at this place, his expression changed from slight astonishment to faint anger.After a while, he glanced at the Chief of Defense's office on the top floor of the War Department.Then his figure disappeared behind the curtain...

In the middle of the night, Yau was still working ecstatically.

"Kukou." Someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Who is it?" Qiu didn't lift his head.

"It's me, Rogge." Rogge's voice came from outside the door.

Qiu had to stop what he was doing and stood up to open the door.As soon as he left the table, the crystal on the table lost its light, and the room suddenly looked extremely dark.

Qiu opened the door, and Roger walked in, his face seemed not very good.

"You've been here all night?" Roger asked.

"Yes." Qiu replied.

"No one is looking for you?" Roger asked.

"No." Qiu shook his head.

"Is there no phone?" Roger asked.

"No." Qiu was puzzled by the question.

Roger didn't explain either, and looked around Ferlin's office with a serious face, and then looked at the things spread out on the table.

"Have you found a solution?" Roger asked.

"Not yet." Qiu gave a general overview of what he saw to Roger, and also expressed his thoughts on the next step.

Roger frowned and listened, but he didn't seem interested in Qiu's plan. He waited for Qiu to finish speaking and was silent for a moment, then told Qiu: "The situation on Sagittarius may be very dangerous, or it may not be that serious. I don't want you What kind of shocking news is coming out here?"

"Huh?" Qiu wondered, this is the result of the data, how could he be sensational?

"Rewrite a report, delete all the crisis parts, and just say that there needs to be close attention." Roger told Qiu very carefully.

But Qiu couldn't figure it out any more.

"Did you hear that? This is an order." Roger still didn't want to explain.

Yau stood still.

Roger looked at Qiu and finally sighed. "This is an order from the Chief of Defense. The Sagittarius crisis must be lowered. Tang Xiuluo has agreed to revise the report. Do you still insist?"

"Oh..." Qiu finally understood.This is the pressure from above. Some people want to hide their ears and steal the bell. No wonder Rogge is so upset. He put on a coffin face at night to show himself.

"I can change it, but now I'm off work, can I do it tomorrow?" Qiu asked Roger to make a condition.

"Okay." Roger agreed.

"See you tomorrow then." Qiu planned to see off the guests.

"Wait!" Roger refused to leave.

"Huh?" Qiu looked at him.

"Look at what time it is." Roger reminded Qiu.

Qiu looked at his watch, it was already past two o'clock at night.

"Pack up and go to bed!" Roger said angrily.

"..." Qiu was unwilling.

"Do you want me to take it away?" Roger threatened.

Qiu rolled his eyes, he had no choice but to go to the table to pack his things.First put the crystal into the box, then put the box into the open safe by the wall, and carefully lock the safe layer by layer.

Roger kept looking at Qiu.Qiu walked out the door under Roger's watchful eye, ready to go downstairs.

"Stop!" Roger called to him again.

Qiu turned back unhappily: "Didn't you tell me to go to sleep?"

"I've prepared a supper for you, go to bed after eating." Rogge's face was still cold, but his tone was much softer.

Qiu followed Roger to eat.

In the elevator, Qiu suddenly asked Roger: "Will you cover up the truth like this when you become the chief of defense?"

"..." Rogge didn't say anything, and looked at Qiu warily.

Qiu looked ahead calmly. "You can do it on the surface as well, as long as there is action behind it."

Roger looked at Qiu, with uncontrollable love in his iron-gray eyes.

"Come here," Roger said to Yau.

"What are you doing?" Qiu turned his head.

"Hold me!" Roger said.

***

In the early morning, in the President's Office, Haynes was invited to come.

The president hadn't slept all night, and rubbing his sore forehead at this moment, he had no choice but to pull himself together to host this conversation.

"Last night, after overnight discussion by the bureau, your resignation application was finally approved, and you were agreed to suspend your current work and concentrate on participating in the presidential election. From today onwards, you can start your large-scale campaign speeches. Your position in the military department It will be temporarily frozen until after the election," the president said reluctantly.

"Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted." Haines responded politely, without seeming agitated.Because although this was his plan, the appearance of the president made him feel that something was wrong.

"Mr. President, can you tell me what prompted your overnight meeting to discuss my application?" Haynes asked.

"I'm in meetings every night now, and it's not just because of you." President.

"But you seem to have agreed to this matter a bit hastily." Haynes pointed out the anomaly. "The Sagittarius rebellion has not yet been finalized, and the crisis over Sagittarius is getting worse. If you let me go at this time, no one will take responsibility for you in the future."

The president smiled helplessly. "Why do you have to ask so much? As long as you get what you want, isn't it fine?"

Haines looked at the president. "Having said that, I have to wonder, have I become a puppet in the hands of others or a pawn that must be given up?"

"Tsk." The president was speechless. "Terry, you are overthinking."

"Really?" Haines was not easy to fool.

"Terry, you saved my life, we're old friends, and you still don't believe me?" The president tried to sound sincere.

Haines looked at him for a while, "Who is manipulating you behind your back?"

The president's face changed slightly.His face, which was already troubled by insomnia, looked even more gloomy at this moment.He thought for a while, and finally said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Things here will definitely not get better, and you will not change the result if you stay. At that time, public opinion will still blame you and me for the failure." It's better for you to leave first, maybe there is still hope in the future."

"Are you so sure?" Haines frowned, and he already understood eight or nine points in his heart.He thought for a while and asked the last question: "Is the person threatening you human?"

"...I can't tell." The president's face was ashen.

"Okay, I see." Haines understood.

Exit the Oval Office Hales and go straight back to the Ministry of Science and Technology.Call all the subordinates for a meeting, and after ordering all the work, ask the secretary to call Qiu to his office.

After a while, Qiu came.

Seeing Lieutenant General Haines standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking down at the sentient beings gracefully, Qiu was a little puzzled.

"General, I heard you are leaving the military headquarters?" Yau asked Haines.

Haynes turned around with a gentle smile. "Yes, I've decided to run for president this time, and I'm going to be away for a while."

"Oh." Qiu's heart sank.

This is the worst-case scenario, worse than Haynes and Roger directly competing for the next defense chief.Because once Haines succeeds, he will have the supreme command of the army, and the next defense minister will be appointed by the president according to the law of the alliance.Haynes has never been used to the family inheritance in the military department, and he will not appoint Rogge as the next defense chief in all likelihood...

"What are you worried about?" Haines looked at Qiu with interest.

"Uh, it's nothing." Qiu didn't want to talk about this topic.

But Haynes wanted to talk.

He said to Qiu: "You don't have to worry, whether I succeed or not, I will not abandon you. I will always pay attention to you, support you, and give you everything I can to make you successful."

"..." Qiu didn't know what to say.

From his own point of view, both of them are kind to him, and they are all kind to him. He doesn't want to hurt any of them from the bottom of his heart.But he was caught in this tug-of-war as a rope, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Qiu, don't choose lightly when you can't see clearly. The truth cannot be hidden, and you will know it sooner or later." Haines' words are very meaningful.

He knew that he could neither win in family affection nor gain Qiu's favor in love.All he can do is to attract Qiu with his character and charm. He wants to prove his strength and prove that he is worthy of being followed.

Turning his gaze out of the window again, Haines narrowed his eyes slightly. The challenge he faced was great, but he would not retreat.

And Qiu, who was standing aside, saw the outside scenery from such a high position for the first time.

The view here is completely different from downstairs, even from the window of Rogge's office.The sky here is wider and the field of vision is wider, as if you are already flying in the clouds with your arms outstretched.

"Qiu, just in case, I have prepared some people for you. They will protect your safety during my absence. If you have any needs, tell Sean anytime, and he will make overall arrangements." Haynes told Qiu , looking very solemn.
