nebula story

"I, Xie Zhan and Peiyan were classmates in high school. We have known each other for many years and have always been good friends in life. More than 20 years ago, I graduated from the Federal Linpu Military Academy and was directly selected by Qi Bo, the then director of MI[-]. , joined the intelligence department of the army...by the way, my real name is Feng Zhuan."

Keeping her head down, Chesu listened quietly without saying a word.The morning sun silently shone through the window lattice, and sprinkled on the shoulders of the father and son beside the bed.

In the room, only the calm and gentle voice of Feng Zhuan, a former outstanding agent of the Federation, could be heard, echoing lowly in this spacious and bright room.

After an unknown amount of time, Che'an finally stopped talking.Looking at his quietly bowed son, he said with difficulty: "Xie Zhan and Peiyan are your real parents... You are not an orphan, Xiao Su. Your father is the most famous general in the Federation, and your mother's family business is also in the Federation. Very famous. Ah, by the way, you also have a sister, you have seen her, the youngest female captain of the reconnaissance ship in the federal army, Xie Wei'an."

Raising his head blankly, Chesu didn't show any surprise or shock on his face, but moved back a little shyly, hugging his knees tightly.

After a long silence, he avoided Feng Zhuan's gaze, and his slender fingers twitched and grabbed the bed sheet under him: "Father... I won't say it. If you lie to me again, I won't say it." ..."

Looking at him in amazement, Che'an's heart sank.

His voice trembled slightly, and Chesu's eyes seemed unfocused: "I know you are a spy of the Federation, I believe that...but everything else is fake, right?"

His voice suddenly became sharper, he coughed a few times, and said eagerly: "You are all lying to me, trying to give me a good identity, wanting me to identify myself as a member of the Federation, so I will willingly say That secret, isn't it?..."

Shocked by his words, Che'an opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

"Xiao Su? You are a federal person." He patiently revealed the truth.

"No! I'm not." Chesu suddenly shook his head violently, with a bit of crazy stubbornness in his eyes, "You are a federal spy, and you only picked me up after you arrived in the empire. I am not your son, I am an empire People... my parents are nothing but the untouchables of the empire who died of poverty."

"Don't deceive yourself." Che'an couldn't bear it any longer. "If you want, I can let you see the top-secret file of MI20 [-] years ago. There are fingerprints left in the file on the first day you were sent to the empire. This Over the past ten years, all your growth trajectories have been recorded!"

"You lie, you lie." Chesu repeated blankly, "What can't they do? I don't want to read fake files or something..."

Looking at him speechlessly, Che'an finally said coldly: "I'm asking Dean Fu Jiasheng to arrange for you and Peiyan to do a parent-child DN test when he comes in the afternoon."

Hearing Che'an's last sentence, Chesu's lips trembled, despair spread in his eyes, and a sharp cry suddenly broke out: "No, I don't want to! You guys will tamper with the data, why should I believe it!?"

... "Bang!" There was a clear sound of glass shattering, and the two people in the room looked at the door where the sound came from.

There were water stains and broken glass all over the floor, and a cup of boiling hot water was spilled on the ground. Mrs. Lin was slowly lowering her body, as if she wanted to grab the broken glass on the ground, and she seemed to want to wipe the burnt place on her feet .

Chesu's body suddenly stiffened like a thousand-year-old fossil.His body moved, and he seemed to be struggling to get out of bed, but he slowly stopped and stopped moving.

Che'an took a deep look at him, turned around and ran over to help Mrs. Lin up, comforting in a very low voice: "Peiyan, give him some time...don't be sad, don't be sad."

Mrs. Lin's shoulders were trembling slightly.After an unknown amount of time, when she raised her eyes, there were no tears in their sockets.

"Zhu'an, I'm fine." Her lips were smiling, but her eyes were full of desolation, "I told you, I only cried last night to myself."

Standing up quickly, she walked to the side of the bed, gently stroked Chesu's soft hair, as if she hadn't heard any of his previous words, and she didn't intend to talk about it at all.

In the golden morning light, there were sparkles in her beautiful eyes that were very similar to Chesu's, but her expression was focused and firm: "Xiao Su, don't listen to your father. As long as you take good care of your body, don't think about anything."

Looking at Chesu who bowed her head silently, she didn't say anything, but said softly, "I'm going downstairs to prepare breakfast."

Without watching her leave, Chesu sat blankly on the corner of the big bed with his head lowered.Slowly covering his eyes, his shoulders shrugged.

After a long time, he sobbed and raised his head, with faint tears.

The tearful black eyes stared fixedly at Che'an, his whole body was trembling: "Father, why didn't they make me blind and deaf?...I just wish I could never see or hear anything."

"Xiao Su. I understand, I understand." Che'an's heart was heavy and aching, and he gently held his son's cold hands. His eyes flashed the cute and innocent smile of little Chesu when he was a child, and then he looked at him. Looking at Chesu's desperate and painful eyes, he just felt that his heart was being stabbed hard by something, and he didn't stop for a while.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't lie to myself again... I think, I'm really a member of the Federation. My parents, my background, all belong here." Chesu's already pale lips didn't even have a tinge of blood. It made his dark eyes even more terrifyingly deep, "Father, but I'm a little confused... Let me think about it."

Looking out of the window a little desolately, he found in a trance that the scenery in this suburb was both familiar and strange.

"No matter what decision I make, I need to think about it carefully." He murmured, his thin face was a little dazed.

In a country-style cafe not far from the outskirts of Eisborough, near evening, there are few customers and the environment is quiet.

On the innermost row of rattan seats, a brown-haired young man sat silently. His tall figure leaned upright on the back of the chair, and one arm was fixed with a simple plaster bandage.

Looking at the beautiful and quiet scenery outside the window in the distance, after a while, his eyes fell on a newspaper at hand. In the "Capital Morning News", which was just published in the morning, the headlines on the front page were still dominated by the battle on Planet Fisher.

"The front line is retreating steadily, and the delivery of military supplies is blocked";

"An anti-war protest broke out in Fengcheng, and [-] citizens took to the streets";

"More states and counties restrict the supply of meat, and allocate electricity consumption according to household registration."

Looking at those familiar titles, Nan Zhuo's face was indifferent.

It's not news anymore.The war that has dragged on for more than a year has recently taken a turn for the worse. Under the pressure of a strong centralized authority, the imperial army not only temporarily has energy and logistics, but also the voices against the war have been suppressed extremely tightly.

As for the Federation... more and more anti-war voices began to erupt among the people, and even the fuse of the explosion that triggered the war a year ago began to be questioned by the people. ——It was originally believed to be a bitter trick by the imperial people, but now there are strange rumors that the conspiracy theory that it was the military hawks who concocted that provocation began to ferment and heat up.

All of this is not the point. The point is that the disadvantage of the federal army in the front is really expanding.

In just over ten days when General Xie Zhan was away, the imperial army quickly expanded its advantage following the crazy attack of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The latest battle on the plains successfully separated the forces of several groups of the Federation. There is a vague tendency to break through.

It turns out that the Federal Flying Battalion led by him is said to be due to the serious shortage of high-energy energy bars, so that less than 50.00% of the mechas can take off to fight, and they are suppressed by the empire's two-person mecha reorganized flying brigade. Yes, there is no way to fight back!

Even if General Xie Zhan has already flown back to Planet Fisher in an emergency, what good way can a general who does not have enough weapons and ammunition in his hands and sufficient logistical supplies reverse the situation?

Sighing heavily, he put down the newspaper irritably.

The wind chime at the door shook gently, making a crisp sound.A pretty figure in a beige trench coat pushed open the heavy Tiffany stained glass door and walked into the cafe.

Glancing around, she quickly saw the young man waving to her, and she walked over quickly.

Taking off the light gray beret on her head casually, her curly black hair fell down and scattered on her shoulders. Against her healthy complexion, she had a mixed beauty of heroism and beauty.

The tall young man stood up and opened the chair for her in a gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you." Xie Wei'an said softly, a little haggard on her pretty face.

Staring at her, Nan Zhuo's face did not have the sunny smile of the past.The two equally outstanding young men sat quietly facing each other, speechless for a long time.

It was Nan Zhuo who broke the silence first, he unconsciously turned the coffee cup in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is he okay?"

Xie Wei'an's eyes suddenly turned red.Enduring the tears in her eyes, she looked at Nan Zhuo: "Since you care about him, why don't you go and see him yourself?"

Looking at her silently, the handsome young man opposite said shyly, "I'm afraid."

Biting her lip, Xie Wei'an asked stubbornly, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid to see him covered in bruises, I'm afraid to see him lying on the bed, looking at me with hatred." Nan Zhuo's voice was a little hoarse.

"You know he's not that kind of person." Xie Wei'an stared at him.

Nan Zhuo stiffened his back, and nodded for a while: "Yes, actually, what I'm afraid of is not that he hates me. What I'm most afraid of... is that he looks at me calmly, without any trace of resentment."

"You guessed right, that's what he looks like." Xie Wei'an said every word, pinching the silver spoon in his hand tightly with his slender fingers, "He doesn't remember who hurt him at all. Don't say you and me, even if it is When Yuan Bihai came to our house, he wouldn't show any resentment towards that person."

"Why does Yuan Bihai still go to your house?" Nan Zhuo suddenly raised his voice, a little excited, "What does he want to do?!"

Shaking his head bitterly, Xie Wei'an said: "He didn't come to press Xiao Su, he came to persuade Feng Zhuan. Now everyone thinks that Xiao Su will be persuaded by his father after knowing everything. But I think... There was a little worry in her almond eyes, "Things are not as simple as they imagined."

"Why?" Nan Zhuo was suddenly very irritable, and his snow-white teeth were clucking. "If he thought he was an imperial man, then his persistence still has meaning. Now? What is he insisting on now?"

"Are you going to ask him in person?" Xie Wei'an smiled wryly, "Although he is my own brother, I dare not even say a few words to him, and I dare not ask him what he thinks."

Stunned there blankly, Nan Zhuo remembered the first time when the two brothers and sisters who had never met before met.

The sound of gunfire was deafening, and blood splattered everywhere.

"I'm sorry, I told you to keep him no matter the cost." Nan Zhuo felt sad, "It's all my fault."

"No one is wrong." Xie Wei'an shook his head in a daze, and then looked up at Nan Zhuo after a while, with a strange look in his eyes, "That day, you lied to me on the phone and wanted to help him escape. But you know you What are you doing?"

Nodding calmly, Nan Zhuo's eyes were indifferent: "I know very well. I violated the order of the military department and helped the first-level criminal escape. If the investigation continues, I will be sent to a military court."

"I didn't tell anyone at the time." Xie Wei'an said softly, "But it was also because he failed to escape - if Xiao Su ran away at that time and followed the procedure at that time, I would definitely report you, do you understand? "

"Of course. But that's exactly what I admire about you." Smiling slightly, Nan Zhuo quietly looked at the girl he had secretly liked in school, "Should I praise you for being innocent? Thank you so much." Every child of the family is so courageous and outstanding. You are like this, and so is Chesu."

Xie Wei'an gently raised her pretty eyebrows: "No, Xiaosu is not as ruthless as I am." Thinking of Chesu who has become thinner and lifeless these days, she couldn't speak anymore.

The two sat facing each other. After a while, Nan Zhuo finally couldn't help but resume the topic: "What's going on with his body...is there any sequelae left?"

Xie Wei'an's eyes turned slightly red again.

Suppressing the stabbing pain in her heart, she lowered her head: "Others can be taken care of slowly, but the condition of the lungs is not very good. It seems that he had an old rib injury before, and this time the fracture was more serious. The bone spur reached the lobe of the lung, and during the one month in MI6, he did not receive timely treatment... Dean Fu Jiasheng said that Xiao Su had suffered from acute pneumonia before, and this time he was tortured to extract a confession, which just made things worse."

Choking with sadness, she shook her head: "What's more, the little finger and ring finger of his left hand may not fully recover..."

"What?" Nan Zhuo's lips trembled, and the coffee cup in his hand was suddenly knocked over by him, "How could this happen?!"

Xie Weian bit her lips tightly, the anger and oppression in her chest burned her heart: "The torture they used on Xiao Su was too cruel. They crushed his fingers forcefully, and even electrified him."

Standing there dejectedly, Nan Zhuo, the commander of the Federation Flight Battalion, who was always sunny, suddenly punched the hard table!There was a loud noise, and the waiter in the distance wanted to rush over in fright, but Lu looked at Nan Zhuo's distorted face, but stopped hesitantly.

Nan Zhuo only felt that his heart was as cold as being soaked in the deep cold of the polar region.

Some scenes suddenly appeared in my mind. On Nansu planet, that naughty boy was as dexterous as a butterfly with his hands, and Lu Zuan was fiddling with those parts in his mecha; on the return trip to the stars, his fingers were flying, comfortable and proud Knocking on the keys under his hand... Turning his head and smiling at him, the young man bent down, "Your eyes are amber, just like the big brother who wanted to save me back then."
