I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 186

When he walked out of the communication room, the stars at the end of July were already hung on the dome of the front fortress. Compared with other seasons, the stars in summer night seemed much lonely.The warm wind blows on the body, and after bringing a burst of coolness, it drives away the coolness. No matter what, it is always much more comfortable.

Since arriving in the Federation, his nerves have been in a state of tension, which is more tiring than fighting a real battle with real swords and guns.It's a pity that after all this has been successfully accomplished, there is still not much relaxation in my heart.

It is said that because of the border friction, Lin Hong is now directly commanding in the border territorial galaxy, and Lin Jian does not want to return to the battleship, so he can only walk around the area where the front fortress can enter and exit.

With a military jacket in his hand, Lin Jian walked aimlessly in a certain area of ​​the front fortress.When I was an intern here, I had never been to this large area, which is actually very close to the military port. This is a large area where the military and civilians live together, and they can come and go freely, and there is no military post under martial law.

The night has just arrived, and the streets full of fireworks are full of passers-by in twos and threes, many of them are soldiers in military uniforms, and some low-ranking officers, just like what Lin Jian saw when he was patrolling the civil waterway. scene.Seeing Lin Jian wearing a military uniform shirt, those young soldiers would even say hello from a distance, and then there was a burst of laughter mixed with whistles.Lin Jian didn't care, and occasionally returned a smile, and he could see a more vivid smile.Without the epaulets of general stars, they only regarded her as an ordinary female soldier, someone who was the same age as them and could say hello at will.

The orange street lamps that are not very bright, some even flicker on and off, reflecting a lot of shadows.

On the high platform by the side of the road, an old soldier was playing a small musical instrument under a tree with swaying branches. The musical instrument was square, but the size of a palm, somewhat like a harmonica that was rarely seen in her era.

The melodious sound of the music attracted many people to stop and listen, and the vulgar instruments performed touching tunes because of the inner emotions of the performers.Lin Jian sat casually on a broken-cornered step by the side of the road, resting his chin and listening fascinatedly.It wasn't until he felt that the night wind was getting colder and the music stopped, that he came back to his senses.Then she heard a girl standing behind her sobbing softly.

"Who is this?"

"Isn't this the Sai Luo at the Fighter Airway?" The person who answered obviously knew the soldier who was playing the tune very well, "Since last winter, he has been playing this tune here every few days to commemorate his time in the west. Brother who died at the Battle of Nadrana."

Someone answered the girl's doubts, and the answer made Lin Jian's body stiff. The performer had already stood up from under the tree, stuffed the instrument into the wide trouser pocket of the soldier's training uniform, and left Lin Jian shaking. Jian's line of sight.Lin Jian stared blankly at him leaving, and suddenly wanted to stop him and ask his brother who died in the battle which fleet he belonged to in that battle, but just looking at the back that had gradually gone away, that The impulse that rushed into my mind for a moment gradually cooled down.

"Why are you sitting here?"

Lin Jian was surprised by the voice behind her. She looked back and found that it was really Elle Winder. At this time, she was wearing a pair of military training pants and only a gray military vest on her upper body. Her chest was low. You can even see a corner of that window.The fiery figure and revealing clothes attracted countless lingering gazes from around, but she didn't care at all, obviously she was used to such gazes.

"How did you come out?" Lin Jian felt that her head was a little numb tonight, watching Elle Winder shrugged and sat next to her, and threw her a can of bubbly.

"Prisoners have to have time to let themselves go. Besides, I'm half a prisoner now." While speaking, Eleven pulled up her trousers, revealing the restraint loops in the trousers of her training pants. "Your handsome guard will not let me out at will."

Seeing Elle Wind pointing in a certain direction, Lin Jian turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Morris sitting on a step by the side of the road in the distance, holding the same wine jar as they were holding in his hand .

"Your sister said that this place is terrible. As long as you don't pay attention, you will be deeply attracted by what you see, and then you will fall in love with it. Then this impatience will turn into a scabbard to cover up the light of the sharp blade in your heart." Elle Wind raised her head and took a big sip of wine, then looked at Lin Jian, as if carefully examining the nothing in front of her. The expression on the face, "When I heard her words for the first time, I felt a little incomprehensible, maybe because I have seen many such messy corners since I was a child. But when I saw your expression just now, I suddenly Thinking of what she said at the time, I think it really makes sense."

"Ariwind." Lin Jian didn't answer her words, but asked her something surprising: "Prince Seliman, what kind of person is it?"

Fish and bear's paw can't have both. The reason why Lin Hong left the family is not the whole reason, but it is definitely one of the main reasons.But now?Lin Hong shouldered the responsibility of this front-end fortress, and his heart was silent in this shadowy world, while Thurliman did not know where he was with his body and soul unshackled.

What exactly is Lin Hong seeking?
"Theriman?" Elliwind curled her lips after hearing the name, as if she didn't want to think of him, "That person... how should I put it? It seems like an endless darkness, those who once wanted to illuminate His people will eventually be swallowed by this darkness."

"Then Lin Hong...?"

"She didn't illuminate him at this time, but she wasn't swallowed either." Elle Wind sneered, as if she didn't think Lin Hong was so great, "But I think there is still a relatively high chance that Thurliman will figure it out. Seeing more, you will find that the hatred you once thought was deeply rooted is actually not so great compared to many people. There are more unfortunate people than him in this world. He just can’t see it clearly. What the heart wants , is not static, the state of mind is different, the environment is different, and sometimes there will be earth-shaking differences."

"It makes sense." Lin Jian nodded, raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in the wine jar, then stood up and said with a smile: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books."

Seeing Lin Jian's figure walking away, Elle Winder hadn't reacted yet, she didn't feel that she had said anything extraordinary.

Lin Jian and the others stayed in the front fortress for only one night. After resupplying energy and food, they sent the federal civilian ship hijacked by them to the federal border overnight.The next day, they set out on their way back to the empire.

During the period from the front fortress back to the capital planet Aschet, Lin Jian's mood was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.It might just be an accident if Lin Mo didn't see her in the front fortress, maybe he really couldn't escape, but when she connected to Lin Mo's communication on the Parsifal and it was still Fisher who appeared on the screen, Lin Jian realized that something must have happened to Lin Mo.

She even wondered if Lin Mo had been assassinated and was seriously injured, fearing that she would be worried and avoid him.Or, he has already... Lin Jian didn't dare to think about it, so he could only blindly suppress the thoughts that grew wildly like weeds in his heart after the rain.

After being avoided by Lin Mo twice, the arrogance in Lin Jian's heart was also aroused, and she no longer contacted Capital Star, but only occasionally received reports from Brant and others, and never mentioned Lin Mo.

Until Lin Jian and others had passed through the Vega galaxy on August [-] and were quite close to the capital galaxy, Brandt mentioned Lin Mo when he called her.On August [-]th, a high-ranking official was assassinated on the capital planet Aschet, but the high-ranking official who was assassinated was not Lin Mo but another marshal of the empire—Marshal Brandino.The old marshal was on his way back to his mansion from a court banquet when he was attacked by a shoulder-mounted particle beam cannon.Because of the information obtained from Lin Jian in advance, the high-ranking officials of the empire who were on the assassination list were very careful when they entered and exited, and the police protection measures were also very strict, but even so, Marshal Brandino also paid the price with a broken right arm. Two guards were killed.

On the same night, Fisher, who attended the dinner at the home of the Minister of Justice, Earl Griffiths, was also attacked on behalf of Lin Mo. Because of the precautions, there were no casualties.

After hearing Brant's report, Lin Jian finally couldn't help asking, "Is Marshal Lin Mo okay these days?"

Brant was taken aback, not knowing where Lin Jian's words came from, and slipped out of his mouth without thinking: "Could it be that you haven't talked to Marshal Lin Mo for so long?" Brant was surprised when he saw such a pretty face, but he immediately understood that this topic should not be continued, "Marshal Lin Mo was not personally attacked, he seems to be very busy at the moment, I went to attend the military meeting on your behalf two days ago At the same time, he only attended half of the meeting and then left." At the same time, Brandt also mentioned that Lin Mo seemed to be in a bad mood during this period, and his face was always bad, which made the whole army panic and speechless. Be careful, lest you accidentally step on the young marshal's thunder.

Lin Jian was very surprised by Brant's words. Lin Mo never showed his emotions, let alone vented his anger at will. There must be something difficult that made him lose his pride. calm.

And on August [-]th, when the huge dark blue battleship finally anchored at the military port of Aschet, the capital of the empire, Lin Jian, who had been puzzled all the way, finally understood the reason for Lin Mo's abnormality during this period.

Looking at the muzzles of guns sticking out from all directions since he stepped off the flagship, Lin Jian understood that the reason came from her.

"Major General Lin Jian, I arrest you in the name of Marshal Lin Mo, please don't make unnecessary resistance." The soldier standing at the front wore the armband of the Marshal's Mansion on his right arm and showed the arrest order signed by Lin Mo himself.It's not the military police, but the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion. Lin Jian looked at them blankly. Lin Mo wants to arrest her?Why?
Suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, Lin Jian gently shook his head towards his subordinates who were already glaring at the soldiers of the marshal's mansion behind him, signaling them not to be impulsive.

Seeing Lin Jian being taken away by those soldiers with live ammunition, Jian Wei almost burst into tears, and Jin En, who was standing beside her, also turned pale. They didn't understand why?They rushed back so desperately along the way, and this is what greeted them?Let them watch the commander being taken away?

Thinking of this, Jin En immediately turned his head, and easily saw Morris with a dignified expression among the few guards.He couldn't help whispering: "Major? Your Excellency Commander, she..."

"Your Excellency the Marshal didn't take her away in front of everyone, and it wasn't a gendarme, so it shouldn't be a matter of discipline." Although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, at this time he had learned not to act on his will. "I'll go back to the fleet station to find Colonel Brandt immediately, you don't have to worry too much."

At this time, in a heavily fortified laboratory inside the Imperial Ministry of Science and Technology Building, Lin Mo stood in the monitoring room with a livid face?But Granshire, who was always calm and elegant, was very angry at this moment: "Are you really going to do this? Lin Mo, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?"

"If you don't want to stay here, you can leave!" Facing his friend's rare excitement, Lin Mo looked very cold, he just glanced at his friend lightly, and said coldly: "This is not yours in the first place." area of ​​research."

At this time, Fang Zhe, who was standing in the monitoring room because of the confrontation between the two, felt the double sky of ice and fire, and his face turned green. He hated himself very much now, and accidentally slipped his mouth.I blame myself for getting carried away, and said that maybe the mind control shock wave can test the so-called "second body" that Falainen said at the beginning.He was just saying it casually, but he never expected that Marshal Lin Mo would really use this method used by the military police to extract confessions from Major General Lin Jian...

After hearing that Marshal Lin Mo was determined to use this method, Fang Zhe didn't believe it at first. It should be said that he still couldn't believe it until now he was standing in the monitoring room of the mind control shock wave laboratory.He now hopes that Dr. Nolan, who is a good friend of the marshal, can prevent this from happening.

"Lin Mo, you have to think clearly, once you do this, what will you lose! Even if you have doubts about her, you can't use this reckless way!" Granshire felt that he was going to be killed by this acquaintance His friend of nearly 20 years was furious, and when he saw Lin Mo's face was still ashen, and his ice blue eyes were as cold as covering the polar ice cap, he shook his head helplessly, with a feeling of discouragement, "Lin Mo, you will regret it..."

After a prophetic sigh, Granshire stopped talking, just walked to the corner of the monitoring room, leaned against the wall in the corner as if he had no strength, and looked at the currently empty room through the wide-angle screen. laboratory.

"How can you understand my feelings? In the past two months, whenever I thought that Lin Jian might have died long ago, my heart felt like it was being torn apart! Thinking that Lin Jian might have died from some kind of conspiracy , I can't wait to tear that shady guy into pieces. I don't know what I'm expecting now, expecting that Lin Jian will still be my sister, or expecting to catch her murderer with my own hands! I know, so No matter what the result is, I can't go back to the beginning. But, Granshire, I can't be soft on Lin Jian just because she is my sister. This is not just a personal problem, it may endanger human beings A matter of safety."

When Lin Mo said these words, his back was still upright, but his words were no longer cold.He said it step by step, like a kind teacher teaching his impatient students.

Granshire remained silent for a long time, and finally looked at the lonely back and sighed deeply.

Fang Zhe, who was standing in another corner, felt that the corners of his eyes had become moist.In terms of the current technological means, the only technology that can impact the so-called second body is the mental shock wave. The reason he does not want Marshal Lin Mo to use this method is because he is afraid of being retaliated by Major General Lin Jian afterwards, but deep down in his heart, he It is also considered to be the most effective means.But at this moment, facing the tall and stalwart Marshal Lin Mo, he felt even more insignificant.

At this time, Lin Jian, who was blindfolded, was brought into the laboratory.
