exclusive possession

Chapter 71
I woke up again from a hazy dream, with the fragmented voice of the Commander next to my ears.I rubbed my hard metal skull, and when I looked up, I saw the clear face of the robot in the mirror.

I, Maureen, went through another day of my life without a hitch.

Get out of bed, get dressed, and put on your hat.Outside the window, the sun is warm and the grass is green, and the Softan asteroid is always so quiet and beautiful.It's just such a big and warm room, I'm the only one, it's too empty and quiet.

Sometimes I sit alone on the balcony, making a pot of hot tea, and the fragrance of the tea is overflowing.Although he didn't drink, it seemed that he had returned to a long time ago in a trance. At that time, they would sit here, she read a book, he hugged her, and kissed over and over again.And I was holding tea, standing behind them, full of joy.

It was a long time ago.

I packed my luggage and stepped on the fighter plane.

Today is a memorable day. I have arranged many things for myself, and I have to meet many people.

I first flew through Stan's outer space, but only passed by without stopping.Seen from space down to the ground, Stein is as spectacular and beautiful as ever.

Just looking at distant planets makes me feel up and down.

My Commander and Miss!You have saved Star Stan, and hundreds of millions of people have returned to light. Do you in the kingdom of heaven know this great miracle?
I took one last look at Star Stein.Because the weather is getting colder, the atmosphere looks white and hazy.Except for the very few volunteers and the people who are unwilling to leave, there should be no one on the ground.The new Stan Union Empire consists of fifteen asteroids.The rebuilt empire is as strong as it was back then.All that remains on this dying mother planet are memories.

My most precious memory.

After an eight-hour flight, I arrived at the asteroid where the mercenary headquarters is located.Old friend here.

When he was brought in front of Yipu City by the messenger, his expression was not too surprised, but his mouth was still so cheap, and he said slowly, "Why are you here again?"

"To visit you." Without waiting for his invitation, I sat down on the sofa opposite him, "Who made us friends."

He sneered again, but didn't deny it.

I knew he was soft-spoken.After the death of the commander and the lady, he casually said to Mo Pu and me: "Tsk, you two poor bastards, do you want to come with me?" Although we all rejected him very resolutely, since then, even Mopu admits that Yipu City is a friend.

Of course, that doesn't mean I like him.

I got close to him, perhaps just because the living people always cherish each other.

But Yi Pucheng is a person who sometimes makes people hate him.For example, now, he asked the soldiers to bring a box of things over.

I poked my head in and took a look, but I couldn't take my eyes off it—there were some beautiful shells, some beautiful and abstract faces, and some game consoles...they were very interesting things.

"Do you like it?" Yi Pucheng squinted and said, "I'll sell you 50 alliance coins."

Of course 50 is expensive, but I can afford it.

But every time I visit him, he always sells me something I really like, something I can't resist.It's really cunning to steal almost [-] million from me in seven or eight.

But today... forget it.

"I don't want it." I pushed the box away.

He was a little surprised: "Hey?"

I shook my head: "I'm going back to Star Stan, these should stay with you."

His expression became a little weird, he was silent for a moment, and said: "No money, I will give it to you."

I immediately smiled: "Okay! Don't go back on your word! You've been fooled, hahaha!"

He stared at me and also squinted and smiled.

I think Miss is right, Yi Pucheng squinted his eyes, he really looks like a fox.

I had a drink with Yi Pucheng, and I was short-circuited again, and I seemed to hear him talking to me in a daze.

"Really want to go back to Star Stan?"

I seemed to answer something, and then felt him pat me on the shoulder and said, "Maybe we'll meet again."

Until the next morning, when I woke up on the fighter plane, I didn't understand the meaning of Yi Pucheng's words.Because going back to Stan Star is tantamount to suicide—who knows when the planet fall predicted by Ms. Hua Yao will come?When I go back to Star Stan, I don't intend to leave again.Yi Pucheng is such a greedy person who is afraid of death, how can we meet again?

But I didn't think too much about it, who cares?Maybe he also wants to commit suicide. After all, as a robot, a long life is actually very boring.

After leaving the mercenary planet, I arrived in the Badlands.

Here are people I like.

I parked the fighter plane on the tarmac of Orc Elementary School.Following the sound of reading aloud, I found my destination easily.

It was a bright classroom, with more than 20 little orcs sitting in chairs, and a silver all-metal robot in a blue dress, standing in front of the podium, explaining math problems with a smile.

Noticing me standing outside the window, she seemed a little embarrassed and stuttered.I just stared at her and kept laughing, thinking that my mouth must have cracked into a big canyon.

But I know that she is a dedicated person, and she will not leave her post until the bell rings for the end of get out of class.After looking at her like this for more than ten minutes, I turned and left, and set foot on the fighter plane again.

Alas, I still can't bear to confess.

After all, I am an "old man from the previous dynasty", a servant of the legendary King of Glory, an old robot who has lived for hundreds of years.She is just a new generation of robot chick, although the mechanical life is endless, but I am too embarrassed to confess my love to the great-grandchildren of the robot girl.

Watching the desolate land gradually move away, I couldn't help but think of the day I first met her.It was a rainy day 20 years ago. I was passing through a barren land and parked the plane at the Beast Elementary School.It was such a coincidence that as she was walking, she saw that in the classroom ahead, she was also wearing today's blue dress, with streamlined metal cheeks, like a beautiful big apple.The deep red eyes are like two soft lamps.

It was love at first sight.When I talked about this with Yi Pucheng later, he still laughed at me: "Love at first sight? Robots also have love? Do you know what love feels like?"

"I know!" My attitude was very firm, "I just feel comfortable seeing her and want to stay with her, even if I don't do anything, I'm still very happy."

For the first time in my life, Yi Pucheng was dumbfounded by what I said, and stayed in a daze for a long time. He was still absent-minded like a young man, patted his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

I don't care what he's thinking, I have someone I like.I have loved her silently for 20 years, and I feel very satisfied.

With this beautiful mood of love, I went to the earth again.Miss Huayao's grandmother passed away in the same year she died, and I visit the grave every year.So many years have passed, and the earth has also developed a space fortress and a hyperspace jump fighter, and joined the alliance of advanced civilizations in the galaxy.It is very convenient to go to the earth now, just take the interstellar train.

But I still exceeded the plan - I stayed on the earth for ten days.Fortunately, despite the rapid development of science and technology, the old street in Ms. Huayao's hometown is still preserved as a cultural relic.I followed the path that the four of us once walked, and walked it again.As if they lived in yesterday.

Later, I went to visit several old scientists of the Galactic Federation—we had formed a deep friendship during the space battle; A space fortress, now decommissioned, is docked in the warehouse.

After several months of tossing and turning, finally, I finally flew back to Star Stan.

It was snowing this day, and I landed the plane in the imperial palace in the foggy air.Because the space port of Star Stan has been scrapped, I flew all the way without encountering any fighter planes.

But as soon as I stopped on the ground, I saw a familiar figure standing in the woods ahead, smiling at me.

"Mopu!" I laughed and ran over to hug him.

"How many years have we not seen each other?" he said, "50 years, or 70 years?"

I said strangely: "It was 64 years. Don't you remember?"

He nodded: "I didn't remember. No need to remember."

For some reason, his words made me feel a little bit uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my cowardice, and forgive me for leaving Stan. You have worked hard these years." I said, "I will be the guard instead, you can leave."

Mo Pu shook his head: "I don't want to go to other places. But why do you want to come back? You know..."

"Because of me, there is nowhere else to go." I interrupted him.

He looked at me silently and nodded.

Nothing seems to have changed. 500 years have passed, the forest in the palace has become dense, and the lake is still clear.

Mo Pu took me to Yushan.In the vast snow, the statues of the two of them are not stained with dust and are lifelike.I stood in front of the statue for three days and three nights, two metal fingers cracked from the cold, and Mopp dragged me into the house.

"The weather is already very bad, you can't stay outside for a long time." Mo Pu warned me.

"Is it coming soon?" I asked him.

"almost."

Mopp and I lived on Stein for another three years.It is said that in the past three years, the last remaining volunteers on Star Stan have all migrated away.Maybe the whole planet, just the two of us.But I feel that I am better off than I have been in the past 500 years.Looking back now, 500 years are as empty as a dream.

But it’s different now. Mo Pu and I work two shifts a day, standing guard beside Yushan Mountain, cleaning the statues and cleaning their former residences, which is smooth and fulfilling.It was as if they were not dead, but just asleep.

It’s just that I still have dreams, dreaming of the day they vaporized in front of me, and also dreaming of a day when they suddenly come back and tell me that they didn’t die, they just went to another dimension, another world.

On a certain day in 4567 of the Stan calendar and 2508 of the Earth calendar, the star Stan fell.

Its fall is so hasty, overnight, we have lost the original orbit, sliding away from the side of the star.The sun is getting darker and darker, the air is getting colder and colder, and finally, darkness is like an eternal curtain, covering the sky.

But what shocked Mopu and me was the last broadcast we listened to before the fall. It was the voice of the female anchor of the Stan Empire TV station. She almost reported in a panic: "... three supernovae erupted at the same time, and the radiation area covered the New Empire. Fifteen asteroids, including Badlands, Softan asteroid, etc...The Air Force is using energy bombs to resist the fluctuations in the energy field...His Majesty the Emperor said that he will be able to survive this disaster safely..."

Later, the radio signal disappeared, and Mo Pu and I looked at each other, but neither made a sound.

I just remembered Miss Huayao's words, she cried and said to me, Mo Lin, history cannot be changed.Mu Xian will die, Star Stan will fall into darkness, and the universe will be destroyed.

Maybe she's right, but it doesn't matter to us anymore.

Mopp and I went underground.The fortifications have been dug long ago, and the energy reserves are sufficient.We transported the statues of the two of them to 3000 meters underground.

Then we started wandering.There is no light and no temperature.Only occasionally through images transmitted by space telescopes on the ground, we can see that the highly toxic ionosphere still covers the star Stein, and we can also see galaxies that change from year to month in the sky.

Slowly, we lost the concept of time; slowly, Mo Pu and I stopped talking.In addition to cleaning their statues every day, we can't seem to find anything to do in the smelly mud.Most of the time, Mopp is asleep in a low-power mode, similar to hibernation.I asked him what his plans were, and he said he wanted to live until the day the planet was restored to light, and then asked, what about you, Maureen?
And me?

I smiled and replied, I haven't figured it out yet.

I thought I could die quietly, but the moment I stepped onto the elevator and turned on the switch, I saw Mo Pu running from a tunnel in the distance like crazy.

"Maureen, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?" he growled.

I nodded: "Well, I'm going to kill myself."

The elevator has started to rise slowly, and Mo Pu stopped walking in the darkness more than ten meters away from me.

"Are you sure?" he asked softly.

"I'm sure." I replied in a low voice, "I'm sorry Mo Pu, I know I'm useless. But I really can't hold on."

I'm sorry, I really can't stand such darkness, such coldness, and such silence.

I know I'm always cowardly, I know I'm always hesitant.

But Mo Pu, you don’t know, what I’m most afraid of is not this kind of darkness and emptiness.But... so what if there is light?Year after year, there is an eternal mechanical life, but there will be no commander and lady, in the future world.

So, I thought it was over.

The elevator was already running very fast, and Mo Pu's figure was no longer visible, only a voice came from afar: "I will miss you forever."

"Me too!" I suddenly choked up and shouted loudly. "Mopu, I left my energy chip in the cabin. If there is light in the future..."

If there is light, please give my energy chip to the new robot.Call him "Daan" if you can.

Miss said, that is my little secret with her.

She said that I will meet her in the future.

Later, my consciousness gradually blurred.It should be very cold around, and while I don't feel pain from the cold, I can hear my metal bones crackling.I tried to move my wrist, but I heard a snap and I couldn't move.

Then I felt the silicon chip eyeball pop and I lost my vision too.But it doesn't matter, the world is inherently dark.I don't know how long it took, but I felt my body stop, and I should have reached the ground.It's just that I can't move at all, can't see anything, can't hear anything.Consciousness is like a firefly, extremely faint.

I figured it out, and it was finally over.

Just in a daze, I vaguely heard two familiar voices, echoing deep in my consciousness.

"Molin, we are not dead, we are living in another dimension."

"Maureen, we miss you too."

Maureen, from now on you will be Maureen and be my housekeeper.Get in less trouble.

Maureen, you are my best friend on Stan.

Maureen, dear Maureen, have you come back to us at last?
