The eldest brother's responsibility [Interstellar]

Military building, inside Xue Shan's laboratory.

The artificial wormhole exudes a faint luster in the protective cover, and Cen Xing looks at the brown-haired boy expressionlessly.

The brunette boy looked at the news nine years ago on the screen in disbelief.

Cen Xing said in a low voice, "Ami, after a person suffers a major trauma, the brain will be protected, and the traumatic memory will be selectively forgotten, or the memory will be restored. But it doesn't matter, you will remember it soon," said Cen Xing Close the news page, take out the identity chip detector, and scan the brunette boy's temple, "Your identity chip was originally hidden under this skin."

[The chip is not detected, please re-identify. 】The machine emits a cold beep.

The expression on Ami's face froze instantly.

"Although I don't know what kind of coincidence you went back to the past, but the news I showed you just now happened in real life." Cen Xing said, and called up another virtual screen, "This is derived from my memory. The picture can help you better recall the forgotten things."

On the virtual screen, in a hotel room on the top floor.

A white snow wolf bit off the man's head in one bite, then turned its head and scratched the face of the boy lying on the ground with its claws.

The place was a mess.

"I killed you," Cen Xing whispered, "Do you remember?"

Time in the room seemed to stand still.

Ami looked pained, and curled up tighter in the corner.

From time to time, he twitched without warning, covering his head with his hands, looking confused.

Endless silence.

I don't know how long it took for Ami in the corner to slowly stop twitching, looking down at the ground, rubbing her temples with one hand, and said softly, "Ah... I have a little impression. At that time, I brought you to meet my uncle, and then You're out of control..."

"Then you injected me with an activator, and I killed you," Cen Xing continued, "but these are not important anymore, can you tell me how you went back to the past?"

"Admiral Shen. It's Admiral Shen." Ami murmured, "When you... woke up in the room again, Admiral Shen was beside you. But I didn't expect that you would really be able to kill me , and even hid me in... You actually did it. It seems that the suppression of you by the so-called trainers is nothing more than that."

Cen Xing quietly listened to him talking to himself, "After finding out that you have been deceiving me, I have already moved to kill you, but due to the fetters of domestication, I tried to kill you in a conscious state, but it is a pity , There is no way I can’t do anything to you. Thanks to you for injecting me with an activator of unknown composition and giving me a chance.”

"..." Ami fell into silence.

"Your difficulties, later I heard about it from other people... It was originally a young master who lived in the first star field and had a good family. In order to save his parents who were framed and imprisoned, he searched for experimental equipment for Shen Miao. I didn’t fulfill my promise in time, so I thought of using the animalized me to rob the prison. But after you left, they have successfully escaped from the interstellar prison, restored their identity and property, and raised several children.” Cen Xing continued.

"..."

"Why did you choose me?" Cen Xing continued to ask, "Is it just because I happened to show up at your door?"

"No, before you, I have deceived several qualified children, but they were very vigilant and ran away before taking the battleship. You are easier to deceive than them. I didn't expect that it would be so smooth to deceive you... ...You don’t even need to give you anything, just wag your tail and go with me obediently.” Ami sneered, like mocking, but also like self-deprecating.

Cen Xing clenched his fists.

He's so deceitful...

Although this is true, hearing from the other party's mouth, it is inevitable to fluctuate emotionally.

There were still officers standing around, Cen Xing suppressed the disgust in his heart, and continued in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Actually, if you had told me well back then that you needed to find experimental equipment and hoped that I would join the experiment instead of lying to me, and even choosing to cover up the lie after the lie was exposed, maybe we could still maintain a healthy relationship now. But you saved me once Life, it is true to give me a warm living environment, at least in this matter, I am very grateful. Ami, go back."

"..." The brown-haired boy didn't speak, turned his head slightly, and stopped looking directly at Cen Xing.

After a while, he lowered his head and said hesitantly, "Is it true that my parents were pardoned, their identity and property were restored, and they had a new child?"

"It's absolutely true." Cen Xing replied.

"..." Ami didn't speak any more.

Cen Xing couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only stand there quietly, waiting for Ami to react.

Suddenly, without warning, Ami stood up and rushed out of the small room.

Cen Xing: "Hello——"

Cen Xing didn't realize until he ran out, and reached out his hand to stop him.

——I saw Ami running to the door of the protective shield that isolated the wormhole, and forcibly pulled open the transparent door.The facial expressions are twisted together, riveting enough strength.

"Hey!"

"What are you doing!"

The officer realized that something was wrong and tried to stop Ami, but they all appeared in the laboratory in the form of holographic projections. Even if they wanted to stop them, they were powerless, "Stop him! Mr. Tuke!"

"I'm very weak, how can I stop it?" Xueshan retreated to the corner, looking at the irritable Ami pretending to be terrified.

"Shen Jiang! Stop him!"

"Reinforce the experimental area immediately!"

"..."

In just ten seconds, the safety lock of the protective cover was broken somehow, and Ami walked towards the wormhole without looking back.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was a shrill and short sound, which disappeared completely.

The wormhole is like the surface of a lake disturbed by raindrops. After ripples appear, it returns to calm in an instant.

"Doctor Tuke, is this the protective measure in your laboratory? Can a half-old child easily open the door of the protective cover?"

Seeing that Ami had completely disappeared, Xueshan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the holographic projection suspiciously and innocently, "But wasn't it originally intended to let him enter the wormhole and return to the original time and space? The process is scary, but the result is safe. gone?"

"..."

"...Go back to the headquarters commander, the big wormhole outside the first star field is beginning to show signs of healing!"

Xue Shan whispered, "I just said that my test results must be correct."

"Start looking for other life forms in different time and space immediately! Start making plans immediately, you must be fast!"

Shen Jiang ignored their dispute, just glanced lightly and strode towards Cen Xing in the inner room.

Cen Xing was still in place.

Shen Jiang patted Cen Xing's shoulder, "Are you feeling sorry?"

"What regret is brother referring to?" Hearing Shen Jiang's voice, Cen Xing came back to his senses, stretched out his hand, and attached five fingers to the back of Shen Jiang's hand.

"It's nothing." Shen Jiang said, trying to withdraw her hand.

Before taking it back, he was forced to hold it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Shen Jiang glanced at Cen Xing.

Cen Xing was unmoved, not only did not let go, but even tried to forcefully squeeze into Shen Jiang's fingers.

"I'm very glad that he can go back, otherwise I have to kill him again," Cen Xing said in a low voice, "I have exported all the memories of the wandering period, and the permission has been shared with you. If you want to see it, you can watch it anytime. .”

Shen Jiang said indifferently: "Not interested."

"Cen Xing, come here!" Xueshan's voice came from outside the small room.

Only then did Shen Jiang feel Cen Xing let go of his hand.

After Cen Xing went out, Shen Jiang glanced at the direction Cen Xing left, took out the communicator, and looked at the memory file transmitted by Cen Xing.

This is the process when Cen Xing was wandering outside.

After contemplating the virtual film review for a while, Shen Jiang finally clicked the "Receive File" button.

After finding a solution to repair the wormhole, Shen Jiang was temporarily free and could move freely in the first star field, but she had to be on standby at any time.

Cen Xing chose to return to the medical school to continue his studies.

Logically speaking, Shen Jiang should have graduated from the military academy at the end of last year and entered the military department to start working.

But because of the war, at least half of the students in the same class never came back, and some of the remaining half were unable to return to the military academy for graduation procedures due to injuries or other reasons. Still dragging.

The location of the military academy is sunny all year round.

After being locked in the military building for a long time, Shen Jiang's first reaction was a little uncomfortable seeing such dazzling sunlight.

It was the morning, and apart from a few scattered students studying on the lawn, there were almost no people on campus.

Shen Jiang asked various professors for signatures and checked the grades of previous years before going to the principal's reception room to complete the last procedure before graduation—listening to Principal Lin's graduation speech.

According to the seniors, in the last process of previous years, everyone stood in the auditorium and watched the pre-recorded speeches together.

This year's situation is special, and it is difficult for the students who come back to go through the graduation procedures to gather together, so Shen Jiang was once again fortunate to be invited to the principal's office.

The decoration of the principal's office is still as retro and gorgeous as ever.

Today, the girl assistant of the bionic man wore a buttoned robe and a hairpin on her head, and brought Shen Jiang a glass of water with a blank expression.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Principal Lin's familiar holographic projection floated down from the attic.

"Hello, Principal Lin." Shen Jiang stood up quickly.

"Sit, sit, sit," Principal Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Jiang, "I finally waited until you came back to complete the graduation procedures. Your fate is really ill-fated this year. This is the first time I have been the principal for so many years. This time I have time to receive each graduate individually... Let me check your grades, wow, there are so many S+..." Lin Youzhi focused on Shen Jiang's message on the virtual screen, "Very good, congratulations Student Shen Jiang, perfect graduation!"

Principal Lin said, turning off the screen, "Okay, the graduation procedures are completed, and you will receive an entry invitation from the military within a month. But ask, do you have any plans after graduation? That is, after entry Do you have any plans during this short vacation before the military headquarters?"

"No plans." Shen Jiang said truthfully.

He really has no plans, he can't leave the first star field, and the old Shen's house no longer exists. Fortunately, the two younger sisters are in other star fields and have not been affected.On the way to the military academy, he also saw Shen Luoluo's recent status as a professional idol in the media.

Hearing that Shen Jiang had no plans, Principal Lin couldn't help laughing, "Then can you do me a favor?"

Shen Jiang quickly said, "Of course, you can say it!"

"For the past half a month, I will temporarily take over my position as the principal and help me maintain the normal operation of the military academy. The work content is not difficult. I have already set up most of the operating procedures in the school. Routine cleaning and collection maintenance will be carried out in the principal's office."

Shen Jiang was a little strange, "Did you have anything to do in the past half a month?"

Principal Lin: "Yes, I'm going to the military headquarters. There are some problems left over from history that I need to solve."

"Remaining problem?"

"Hmm." Principal Lin obviously didn't want to say more.

Shen Jiang: "Didn't you already... get rid of the shackles of the flesh?" Shen Jiang swallowed the word "death" back.

so close.

"It's true that I've died a long time ago, and I don't have to be limited by space when I go to the military headquarters." Principal Lin noticed what Shen Jiang wanted to say, and smiled, "But the strength of the mental body is also limited, and I have suffered a lot during my lifetime. Injury, it is already very difficult for the remaining spiritual body to gather together and form a holographic projection, and it is really exhausting. Shen Jiang, are you really unwilling to help?"

"That's not what I mean, of course I'm willing to help." Shen Jiang said hastily.

"The work content has been listed on the desk, so I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Principal Lin's projection disappeared, leaving only an inconspicuous ball quietly placed on top of the bookshelf.

Shen Jiang stood up from the sofa and walked to the desk.

There were only specific job descriptions on the table, and no specific reason why Principal Lin went to the military department was mentioned.
