Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 756 The Care from Siegfried
Because some functions were divided at the beginning of its formation, Ptolemy did not have a traditional interrogation room or interrogator. Therefore, the two people captured by Siegfried and Zhen could only be temporarily imprisoned in two single rooms converted from solitary confinement.

As for why there were only two pilots even though there were three mobile suits, it was because Marduk had detected no life signals in the cockpit of the red mobile suit before he pried open the hatch. When Siegfried took the lead and pried open the hatch, he only saw a blond man in a Zeon military uniform flash by, and then disappeared before his eyes like a ghost.

Inside the interrogation room, the red-haired girl glared angrily at the boy who shared the same hair color and appeared to be the same age as her. Her upturned lips were full of disdain. Ma Qiu struggled to stand up but was pulled to the ground by the rope around her neck.

"Come at me if you have a problem, but don't you dare hurt Miao An!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap interrupted Ma Qiu's somewhat childish voice. Siegfried looked at the short, tomato-like girl with disdain and said with a look of disgust, "Straighten your tongue before you speak. What's with all the 'meow'? Am I trying to be cute with you?"

How dare you!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

After repeatedly slapping Macho until she saw stars, Siegfried rubbed his right hand and muttered to himself that the UC timeline still liked to cast troubled teenagers as Gundam pilots. His slap was somewhat influenced by Bright, since slapping was the most convenient way to deal with these suspected Newtypes.

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you," Siegfried said calmly, placing a lock of hair on the table and uttering a chilling statement while enduring the other man's murderous gaze.

"It's just hair now. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, next time it will be your fingers, then your toes, and after that, your calves and forearms. If you don't want that cat to become a stick, you'd better start by answering my questions with a smile, Tomato Girl."

An hour later, Siegfried stretched and walked out of the interrogation room, only to be caught by Lux waiting at the door. Looking at her slightly serious expression, Siegfried subconsciously began to wonder if he had uttered any profanities that would warrant a re-education from Lux.

"Next time, could you please delegate the interrogation to someone else?"

"Hey?"

"The war is over, you shouldn't have to take on this responsibility anymore!"

Siegfried reached out and stroked the ahoge sticking up on his head. He knew Lux was doing it for his own good, but his instincts as a combatant compelled him to understand the other party's strengths and weaknesses as soon as possible in order to gain the strategic initiative in the second round of contact. So he didn't blame Lux for meddling. Instead, he tried to pick up a handful of pink hair and shape it into an ahoge.

"Young Miss, the key point is that we never expected a simple rendezvous to bring back prisoners. If I don't do it, am I supposed to let Hilde do it? To be honest, if we really let Hilde do it, those two little wenches would have done it long ago."

"No, you're not allowed to swear!"

"I can't live this life!"

Whether it was his imagination or not, Siegfried noticed that Lux's gentle temperament had faded considerably after their reunion. He could only guess that this was due to the influence of Haman and the pressure of the situation in Neo Zeon, or perhaps this was just how Lux was originally supposed to be.

In short, Lux was completely different from what he remembered, so for a moment he felt somewhat deflated. When he regained his composure and tried to turn the tide, he found he had already lost the initiative. Continuing to argue unreasonably wasn't Siegfried's style, so he could only laugh self-deprecatingly and prepare to open the door to the next room for the next round of interrogation. "Hmm? This feeling is..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the doorknob, a strange feeling rushed towards him like a vortex. Siegfried subconsciously entered Innovator mode and wove his brain quantum waves into a net to wrap Lux up. Unexpectedly, Lux, who was supposed to be the one being protected, reacted even faster and directly used the tuner's telepathy to soothe the somewhat chaotic mental storm.

"I didn't expect him to be a new type of human. Interesting."

Siegfried pushed open the door and entered, his eyes meeting Nia'an's. The long-haired girl's eyes were vacant, and she kept muttering strange words to herself.

“kirakira~”

"I'll show you my MG head! I can't stand Kira puns!"

As if triggered by some self-preservation mechanism, Siegfried directly transformed his brain quantum wave into a spear, piercing through the other party's sea of ​​consciousness. After coldly watching Nia An roll her eyes and fall to the ground, he then pulled her back to the chair with one hand like picking up a chick, and tried to wake up this incoherent new human through physical means.

A few seconds later, unsurprisingly, he received a sharp tap on the head. Looking at Lux's trembling finger pointing at him, Siegfried wanted to say, "Your acting has improved quite a bit," but after meeting her somewhat remorseful gaze, he slightly turned his head and mumbled after a few seconds, "I know, I'll try to do better next time."

"Not just try!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Despite admitting his mistake, Siegfried's hands didn't stop. After a few slaps, he found that Nia'an's face was swollen but she still showed no signs of waking up. He could only whistle and avoid Lux's gaze as he slid along the corner to the door.

"I'll go get Hilde to take a look. Maybe... she won't die?"

However, Hilde, who always grants her younger brother's every wish, did not respond to someone's wish in time this time. Unlike the combat team, who only care about 'fighting fun', as CE's top multiverse theoretical scientist, Hilde conducted long-term observations of the universe that had opened the wormhole. Then, amidst everyone's bewildered and impressed gazes, she directly transformed Elmes into a large signal base station and launched many small signal units from it.

“The dimensional barrier that has been broken will become particularly weak. I need to stabilize the spatial energy here to prevent anything dirty from coming from the other side.”

Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, the kind-hearted Lady Hilde took a moment out of her busy schedule to provide an explanation. Immediately, the bridge crew, led by Siegfried and Marius, uttered flattering remarks such as, "I see, as expected of the all-powerful Hilde." However, Hilde still caught Siegfried's subtle questioning look and then nodded almost imperceptibly.

After making sure Hilde had finished off Mendel, Siegfried stopped asking questions, mainly because he wouldn't understand anyway. With nothing else to do, he pulled Shin Asuka along to test the performance of the three otherworldly Gundams. But before he could even warm up the cockpit, his older sister called him from the bridge.

"Come back to the meeting, I have something to announce."
