The Sword of Galaxy

"Marshal," Kaleyan appeared at the door at some point and called in a complicated tone.

Celia looked back at him, and took out a shirt from the stack of military uniforms in his hand. After putting it on, the sleeves were rolled up to the elbow without even buttoning the first button. "Where's the bear?"

"...Admiral Abel is dealing with a few congressmen outside. Would you like something to eat?"

"No need." Celia pulled out another pair of military trousers, put them on naturally in front of Kaleyan, and went to the bathroom to pour a glass of water.

This series of movements and attitudes were familiar and smooth, but Kaleyan was unavoidably a little uncomfortable, and he was rolling his eyes and looking at the ceiling, only to hear Celia ask very casually: "By the way, there is a question I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. "

"What, what?"

"Regarding soul refraction, if the test subject has memory when he wakes up, how can you determine whether he is a real body or a clone?"

Fortunately, this question is not difficult, but it is too stressful to answer in front of this face.Kaleyan leaned against the door frame as if he had no bones, and said weakly: "This is actually... well judged. No matter how a person changes his body, no matter how much his memory is deleted, the part of self-awareness in his soul will not change. There will be a subconscious mind in the brain to judge whether he has really experienced these memories. For example, if the one who wakes up is a copy, the first thing he sees me will ask: 'Are you Kaleyan?' Because he has no memory of himself Immediate; but if it was the Marshal himself who woke up, he would stretch and say, 'Yo! Kalyyan!'"

Celia raised her glass: "Yo, Kaleyan!"

Kaleyan: "..."

"Speaking of memory deletion," Celia drank his water calmly, and asked again: "Admiral Xiong told you on the airship that the council deleted my... the original owner's... memory, which was also prepared by the council to control the test subjects. means?"

Kaleyan was silent for a few seconds, and shook his head with difficulty, "I can't say that completely. There are as many test subjects as there are, and they have no value other than being a cover. What the council wants to control is the real Celia. But the real council is difficult to deal with, so they came up with methods such as using Omega bodies, deleting and modifying memories, etc., expecting to return a marshal who has all kinds of value but is obedient to the council."

Celia nodded thoughtfully, "Then why am I the only one awake?"

Kaleyan began to play dumb: "What?"

"The alliance has been defeated for 50 years, and at least hundreds of test subjects have been made in the middle. Why did I wake up only under your supervision?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just luck—"

"Ok?"

"I'm just a soldier and I don't understand that stuff—"

"Ok?"

"Or it was a fluke—" Kaleyan looked at Celia's face, and said bravely: "I really don't know! Is it important to pursue this now? All the researchers on Red Saturn died in the bombing, and I can't take They dug it out and asked one by one!"

Celia raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at Kaleyan with that subtle expression.

There was silence in the ward, not even a breath of wind could be heard outside the window.Kaleyan's cheeks trembled slightly due to excessive muscle tension, and he even felt a little numb in his feet, but he didn't dare to change his standing posture easily.

"Because this experiment is different from the previous 50 years," Celia said softly after a long time, with that faint smile: "Because you didn't delete my memory."

Kaleyan's expression changed instantly.

"What are you talking about? These researchers are going to come in and measure the body parameters... Oh my God!" Abel walked in with a large group of genetic experts, and his eyes widened when he saw Celia: "Yuan, marshal!"

"Hello, Mr. Bear."

"What is Mr. Xiong? My name is Abel! My God, you are really——you must be—" Abel covered his eyes and scratched around the room twice, with an extremely chaotic expression on his face, desperately Waved at the group of researchers: "You guys are going to check everything that needs to be checked. After I'm done, I have to take him to the closed dormitory, and I have to prepare a press conference with that idiot of Congressman McKee in the afternoon. Oh my God, Kaleyan you Are you sure this is a failure? Are you sure?!"

Kaleyan turned his eyes away and didn't answer.

But Abel was so confused that he didn't have time to pay attention to the answer. When several researchers came up to measure Celia's pulse and blood pressure, their hands were trembling.The hasty basic inspection was completed in 10 minutes, and Abel tremblingly took Celia to board the small shuttle and flew towards the dormitory.

It wasn't until now that Celia figured out what this area was-the Union government officials lived in a community, next to the Union government buildings.This is similar to the fact that the generals of the Imperial Army live together across the street from the imperial palace. Generally, they are strictly managed, and they use closed shuttles to enter and exit. Pedestrians are rarely seen on the road, and the security and privacy are very complete.

As a "test subject", Celia was arranged to live in a closed dormitory deep in the community.Compared with the powerful empire, the Alliance Government-in-Exile is really down and out. The public facilities are obviously old and outdated. The dormitory is a small two-bedroom room with almost no furniture except beds and dining tables. The system housekeeper can only do the most Basic cleaning.

"Is this the staff dormitory in the ancient earth era?" Kaleyan was a little dissatisfied.

Celia remained calm in any adversity, turned around in the bedroom, and even flicked the single bed: "Is it clean?"

Abel seemed to be a little afraid of this Omega, which could not be said to be a test body or a real body, so he pretended to concentrate on looking at the floor, and coughed after a while: "Well... Chairman Marcus will come to see you tomorrow, and it will be held in two days. A press conference in the galaxy, announcing the news that 'The Marshal has returned'. You may not be able to walk around until then, I have to bring you this locator. And here is the communicator, if you need anything, pass it This contacts me directly."

Kaleyan was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Celia's wink, and then reached out to let Abel stick the ring-shaped locator on his wrist.

"Who will attend the press conference?"

"Representatives of the parliament and the military department, representatives of the families of the soldiers who died in the battle of the Glorious Legion, diplomats and news media from other independent countries." Ebel paused, his eyes sank: "There are also some special guests, but the military The Ministry is in communication with the parliament to try not to let them in when the time comes."

Kaleyanch asked: "Who is it?"

Abel was about to say something when he suddenly heard a distant explosion outside the window.The three of them turned their heads together, and saw a space crack tearing open in the distant sky, and several dark beast-shaped flying devices were rushing out of the gap at an alarming speed, and disappeared into the parliamentary buildings in an instant.

Before the two generals could react, Celia turned her head with a very clear expression: "—Dark Star Hall?"

"Yes, but why do you—"

"Younes and Osrod?"

Abel opened his mouth wide and closed it suddenly after a few seconds: "Yes... yes, Yunes and Osrod, there may be other warriors. The Dark Star Hall and the Consetlin family are very close, Even Speaker Marcus is controlled by them to a certain extent, not to mention a considerable number of military generals."

Celia nodded and remained silent.

Douglas Consettrin, the speaker who led the parliament to surrender to the empire, had long since resigned from all public positions, but the family had not fared away from the political center.The huge power accumulated over hundreds of years allowed them to influence the existing parliament in all aspects, and as the new speaker who was hastily elected after the establishment of the government-in-exile, it was only natural that Marcus was forced to be controlled by them.

As for the general of the military department—Silia died in battle for 50 years, the parliament does not know how many major changes have been made to the military department.Except for those who have made great achievements in battle, how many of Celia's confidants are left?

Abel didn't stay for a long time, and soon hurried to the parliament.Kaleyan followed him out the door, and seemed to hesitate a little before leaving, then looked back at Celia solemnly: "If you want to leave, I still have time to arrange it."

Celia raised her hand to stop him, "Whether I'm real or not, I'm already in the alliance now. Instead of helping me leave, why don't you help me stay better? Don't you know the priorities?"

Kaleyan wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Celia's deep voice: "I know your intentions are good, but how can there be any eggs under the overturned nest? In such a big environment, the so-called 'personal freedom' is purely a dream .”

Kaleyan was speechless, and finally had to leave the dormitory.

The Griffon's light brain floated in front of the window, watching him sympathetically walking up the shuttle: "Why does he have the bitter feeling that the child of his dead mother is being taken up by his stepmother? It must be a very difficult life." , Gavin, you beat him on the airship two days ago, he is your own son, you can do it!"

"..." Celia pinched the Griffon's ears and pulled it over, shaking it in front of her eyes: "Can you invade the alliance government management system?"

"Yes! But I'm a little light brain with ideals and integrity! What do you want to do? Peeping at the women's toilet or the changing room of the parliament?"

"You have hidden 300G pornographic videos in the database of the Imperial Army, and your integrity has been broken. Help me monitor the parliament building and locate Yunes."

The Griffin muttered, "Is it my fault that the little hands who can't touch the phoenix can only pass the lonely night by watching pornography?" while resentfully connecting to the central management system of the Alliance Parliament Building.Once again, thanks to the shabby family of the government-in-exile, the 3S light-brained griffin successfully climbed over the firewall and dropped densely packed internal structure diagrams of buildings in midair.

"Here they are," it jumped to a small moving red dot in the optical network, and then zoomed in on the image: "Here, this person is Marcus, the chairman of the alliance."

The stereoscopic projection illuminated Celia's gloomy side face. In the image, Yunes, Osrod and several other high-ranking warriors were walking forward with their heads held high. A short, fat, gray-haired uncle was Accompanied by the side, although the fabrics of the clothes are expensive, there is a sense of shrinkage in the posture and movements, and the eyes are erratic when talking, obviously very disturbed.

"...Yes, the gene modification has almost been completed, but this one is just a relatively successful copy... We have modified the memory frequency wave according to your suggestion, but I don't know why this one has no memory at all when it wakes up. I don't know if I can grasp it well..."

"This is your own problem, Your Excellency the Speaker." Younes said coldly: "Modifying the memory frequency wave does not affect the refraction of the entire soul. Didn't you already succeed in the battle of the Venus Fortress? Although that memory modification Less, but the principle remains the same, and the current failure must be due to other reasons.”

Marcus frowned in embarrassment: "But, what could be the reason?"

"That's what you have to ask yourselves." Younie paused, a chilling smile appeared on his pale face: "Maybe the experiment went wrong, maybe the test body was not made well, maybe... Someone didn't want it to succeed..."

"—Who?!" Marcus was taken aback.

"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid with me, Your Excellency Speaker? Leaving aside the diehard fans of Silia in the military department, there are various opinions in the parliament alone. From then on, the star and the empire are incompatible... There are many people who have different opinions on the matter of soul refraction."

Markas's face was shocked, and he smiled with that embarrassing expression: "Some people have to listen to their opinions, and I can't even control many things—"

"I advise you to distinguish between priorities, Speaker Marcus." Younes stopped, turned and stared at him condescendingly until the speaker's forehead began to ooze cold sweat: "You can't sit in this position without Consett The support of the Lin family, and Douglas Consettrin has long been our loyal and docile friend. You should know how to deal with the different opinions in the parliament, and the important thing is that the Dark Star Hall must benefit from this matter."

Marcus nodded again and again, rubbing his fingers together and rubbing them back and forth.

But Celia noticed that his gracious smile had faded a little.

"We will attend tomorrow's press conference," Younes said coldly, ignoring him, "We will discuss matters related to Ophiuchus after the press conference is over."

Younes ignored the chairman and walked straight forward with the Dark Star warriors.

In the video, Markas's face was blue and red, and he waved his hands resentfully after a while, looking very depressed.

"He wants to skip the Consetlin family and directly embrace the thigh of the Dark Star Hall?" Griffin eagerly jumped up and down in front of Celia's nose, and asked smartly: "Younes ignored him, so he hates him now." The Consetlin family?"

"...he should be a peace faction." Silia gently grabbed the griffin in his hand, thinking in his eyes: "The Consettrin family has been the speaker for too many years, and they hope to lead the exiled army to counterattack the empire. Improving the status of the alliance also expands the power in hand, so it is necessary to rely on the Dark Star Hall. And Marcus just wants to live in a corner, and take good care of the little power he has. What Yunes said just now is actually It's warning him."

Griffin half understood, "So he probably doesn't want you to be resurrected...?"

"My resurrection is the result of the entanglement of various forces, but his opinion is not important, he is just a puppet."

"Then... what about the Ophiuchus constellation?" Griffon, as a former Empire mecha, still cared about the empire's territory, desperately struggling to get out of Celia's hands, and asked: "Is the goal of the alliance is the Ophiuchus constellation?" ? Will the Dark Star Hall send troops to help them fight? ——But I don’t understand what benefits it would do to the Dark Star Hall, the alliance is poor and chaotic, and the Ophiuchus constellation is so desolate…”

"Dark Star Hall are political speculators, they are pursuing greater interests."

The Griffin still didn't understand, and tilted his head to look at him with a question mark on his face, with an innocent expression on his face.

Celia stopped explaining and pinched its ears: "Do you know what is the most effective way to deal with political speculators?"

The griffin shook his head suspiciously.

Celia laughed:

"—undermining their political alliance."

·

Late that night.

The alliance command base was silent and majestic in the night. There was a whole row of machine soldiers standing at the entrance, all of them holding guns, and their infrared eyes swept back and forth in the night.

A moment later, the light in the eyes of a robot suddenly disappeared, and then the hand holding the gun dropped down, and then froze in place after two clicks.

The other robot soldiers immediately triggered the emergency procedures and walked over to check the situation.However, before their system centers reported the matter to their superiors, a burst of lightning exploded from the brains of all the robots at the same time, and after a few seconds, all the soldiers froze in place.

"It's an old model eliminated by the empire 20 years ago..." A ball of light floated from a tree by the side of the road, and the griffin sighed: "The alliance is so poor, it's really aggrieved, hurry up and marry into the empire!"

The corners of Celia's eyebrows twitched slightly, she jumped down from the big tree, and landed lightly like a cat.

"Speaking of which, it's lucky to have me following you. What can you do if you fight alone? Will you be bullied? Will you be eaten by the gang of hungry Alphas from the Alliance? Now you can see what Admiral Aaron is doing, right? , In order to help you, he even gave up on me who is so smart and beautiful! Compared with His Majesty who is chasing after you to have sex! Are you touched? Are you?! So what are you going to do? Time to sleep with Aaron?!"

Celia was completely unaffected by the griffin's mental attack, and quickly disassembled the robot's head with her bare hands, found the chip in the control center and swiped it on the door lock.

The door opened with a whoosh.

The silver-white metal corridor extends underground at a thirty-degree angle, and there is a row of elevators 200 meters away, but there is nothing else.Celia walked towards the elevator, but the deeper she went, the more uncomfortable she felt, and there was an unreasonable tension and vigilance deep in her mind.

"It doesn't matter if you don't sleep with Aaron. At least marry me to Phoenix. Is this too much to ask? It's not too much, is it? Well, if it's too much, let me touch Phoenix's little hand, like I, a poor mech who has been alone for hundreds of years, is satisfied just touching my little hand...By the way, Yunes lives on the 250th floor underground, two hundred and fifty, it's so nice to him!"

"Which floor does Barnett live on?"

Griffin was taken aback: "Who?"

"It's the high-ranking warrior who is missing an arm, following behind Osrod."

Griffin had a question mark in his head, thinking that this is not an important role, why did Gavin ask this?

But it still honestly scanned the entire base, and hesitated after a while: "The area where several Dark Star Hall warriors stayed is surrounded by thick fog, so it's hard to see clearly, it should be on the same floor as Yunes."

Celia nodded slightly, and for some reason the slight sense of oppression in her heart became more obvious.

This feeling is no stranger to him, people who are used to going through life and death on the battlefield often have a keen and wonderful premonition of danger.

But there are some things that must be done knowing the danger. Celia's face sank like water, and she stood in front of the elevator at the end of the corridor and swiped the chip, and then the door slid open quietly.

- 250.

The closed metal box sank quietly deep in the ground, and as the number displayed on the elevator gradually increased, Celia suddenly felt the feeling of anxiety, boredom, and nausea in her heart getting heavier and heavier.He pinched the tiger's mouth hard, and at the moment when the pain made his whole nerves tense, the griffin suddenly said "Huh?"

"how?"

"...I don't know..." Griffin looked around suspiciously, and after a while murmured: "It's strange, there is a lot of fog around you."

At this moment, the lights in the elevator are bright, and the front and rear mirrors clearly reflect Celia's face——

His pupils narrowed slightly for an instant.
