Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 788 Lux’s Voice (3/3)

He Ming was not originally involved in the mission of this reception.

But after the reception started, I unexpectedly received a message from Li Xuan.

"Special Envoy, what are you doing?"

He Ming put down the information in his hand and looked at the screen in confusion.

On the other side of the picture is the reception scene.

He Ming could see that Li Xuan sent him the message when he was free.

"Colonel He, do you have time to come over?"

Li Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand slightly and saluted He Ming.

"Thank you for the invitation, Special Envoy. Although we are in the Pillar of Heaven, we cannot let our guard down. So, please don't drink."

He Ming declined politely.

Li Xuan was not surprised by this.

Besides, his purpose was not to invite He Ming to come and drink together, but to have other important matters.

"Sorry! Look at my head. I forgot my duties, Colonel He, after a few sips of liquor."

After Li Xuan apologized, his eyes moved slightly and looked outside the screen.

This scene made He Ming somewhat concerned.

Then Li Xuan smiled slightly.

"I heard that Colonel He has some special powers. Now, I have some problems here and need Colonel He's help. I wonder if Colonel He can come over?"

"A little tangle?"

He Ming was not surprised that Li Xuan mentioned the so-called special power, but he was a little concerned about the little entanglement that Li Xuan mentioned.

How could there be any so-called "little entanglement" at this reception when Li Xuan and Lund Mina Sahak, representatives of East Asia, were both present?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, He Ming still agreed to go on this trip with Li Xuan.

"Thank you very much for your help, Colonel He! To be honest, this makes me feel relieved!"

When He Ming came to the reception, he saw Li Xuan, Lund Mina Sahak and Yuri Amafi welcoming his arrival.

"Special Envoy, Miss Mina, and Senator Amalfi, what are you doing?"

He Ming was very surprised to see the three people waiting for his arrival.

Li Xuan and Yuri Amalfi looked at each other and gave up the right to speak at the same time, which made Lund Mina Sahak quite helpless.

"Special Envoy Li, Councillor Amalfi, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"No, Master Mina. You are more suitable to talk about this topic than us two old men."

After Li Xuan laughed, he signaled to Yuri Amafi, and the two of them made room for them to talk.

"What on earth is going on here, Miss Mina?"

He Ming was a little confused by the three people.

Lund Mina Sahak shook his head and then raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the reception.

"I heard everything from Special Envoy Li. I also tried to talk to her a little while ago, and the effect was not bad."

He Ming looked in the direction that Lund Mina Sahak had pointed and found that Lacus Klein was sitting alone in the corner, holding a glass of red wine in her right hand, but looking at the bright starry sky outside the porthole.

After seeing this scene, He Ming already understood why the three people called him here.

"Miss Mina, are you embarrassing me?"

He Ming suddenly felt a headache, and then secretly signaled the intelligent AI cube Arduino to ask Salamantini for help.

Shouldn't he be the one to do this kind of comforting thing?
"If the Colonel wants to ask Sarah for help, then you can give up."

As if seeing through He Ming's actions, Lund Mina Sahak revealed a sly smile.

"Just now, after talking to Lacus Clyne, I found that she was in a bad mood, so I asked Sarah for help. As you can see, Sarah also failed. Lacus Clyne was still sitting alone in the corner, looking at the starry sky outside the window."

Hearing this, He Ming felt a little overwhelmed.

"So, you notified me to come over?"

"Exactly."

Lund Mina Sahak stepped forward and patted He Ming's shoulder.

"Go! Colonel He." He Ming sighed, raised his hand and patted the pocket where the smart AI cube Arduino was, telling it to stop asking Salamantini for help, and then walked to Lacus Klein.

Under the light, Lacus Klein once again returned to her original appearance.

While her scattered long hair was once again covered with its former pink color, Lux Klein changed into the outfit that once amazed countless people.

However, the pink singer who was once admired by everyone has now come to an end in such a way that even He Ming feels sad.

"Suits you very well. Lacus Clyne."

After He Ming praised softly, he gestured to Lacus Klein if he could sit opposite her.

And Lacus Klein also withdrew her gaze from the starry sky outside the window, looked at He Ming, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Colonel. Please take a seat! There is no one else here except me."

At the end of her words, Lacus Clyne's voice could no longer conceal the sadness that came from her heart.

However, Lacus Klein did not give He Ming any chance to comfort her.

Instead, he took the first step and asked.

"Colonel He. Do you think there are other intelligent life forms besides humans?"

He Ming was a little surprised, but still nodded slowly.

"Yes. Humans are not alone in this universe."

Lux Klein lowered her eyes and looked at the wine glass in her hand, watching the red wine swaying slightly as she moved.

"It seems that Colonel He is very sure that there is extraterrestrial life."

"The universe is so vast, there are so many things that we cannot imagine. It's just that the idea of ​​extraterrestrial life is not a delusion."

Lacus Klein raised her eyes and looked at He Ming, as if looking directly into He Ming's eyes.

"So, Colonel He, do you think I'm suitable for the search for extraterrestrial life?"

He Ming looked surprised.

"Why do you ask that? Lacus Clyne."

"Do not."

Lacus Clyne shook her head and sighed.

“Colonel. Just call me by my name, Lacus, or Klein.”

He Ming nodded in agreement.

Then, Lacus Klein continued.

"When I was a child, my father took me to the hall of the Supreme Council and pointed to the fossil called the 'Jupiter Whale' and told me that this was the proof brought back by the first Adjuster in human history. It proves that humans are not alone in this universe."

"At that time, my father once lamented that when he was young, he also wanted to be like George Glenn and become an astronaut to further explore the existence of extraterrestrial life for mankind. However, things are unpredictable, and my father eventually founded the Zodiac Alliance with Uncle Patrick Sarah and others, and eventually became one of the twelve members of the PLANT Supreme Council."

He Ming listened quietly.

Lux raised her head and looked at the starry sky outside the window again.

"My father has been working for the peace of mankind all his life. Because of this, the PLANTs and the Adjusters can usher in a peaceful era, a stable development space, and then move towards a more distant and deeper deep space."

"However, this goal was not achieved. My father was stabbed to death. And the murderer..."

Lacus Klein bit her lips slightly and tilted her head back, but He Ming saw the glittering light in the corners of her eyes.

He Ming remained silent and took a tissue from the small table next to him.

However, he was stopped by Lacus Klein.

"No need, Colonel. I'm fine..."

There was a gleam in Lacus Klein's eyes, but it kept swirling in her eye sockets.

"I just want to know if I am suitable to participate in the search for extraterrestrial life. I will follow the colonel's opinion."

He Ming retracted his right hand and said.

"I can't give any advice! But if this is your will, I believe you are qualified."

"I, I want to see with my own eyes what Colonel He once witnessed."
