Li's path

Chapter 148 The Shadow in the Clouds
Moon stars are rare.

The "Lynx" turned on the searchlights and walked quietly above the clouds.

"Creak." The hatch leading to the deck was pushed open, and a blue-haired girl came out.

"Oh?" Jost looked around and walked to the other end of the deck.

The black-haired boy sat silently in the corner of the deck, resting his right hand on the ground, resting his head on the outer wall of the empty boat, quietly staring at the night sky.Sadness, firmness, nostalgia, and love are in the amber eyes. All kinds of emotions are intertwined. It is hard to imagine that only a 17-year-old boy will have such complicated emotions.

"What, so you came here." The blue-haired girl showed a bright smile, which made Joshua a little distracted.

"You can see the moon clearly here. And the breeze is blowing, very comfortable."

"Ah heh heh~ You are playing cool again, aren't you?" Jost walked up to Joshua and sat beside him carelessly, his movements were exactly the same as that of Estier before, "Yo hey~ It's not about being cool." , then why is it necessary?"

"Moonlight, cloud movement, and wind direction are all very important factors now. I just want to minimize the failure rate as much as possible."

"T-Do your best?" Jost's face sank, "Don't say 'try your best', okay! If you fail, you will die, you know that!?"

"No problem, the possibility of failure is very small." Joshua said quietly, "I used to do tasks of this level almost every day. The more dangerous they are, the higher my chances of success will be."

"." The girl stared at Joshua with a pair of big water-blue eyes in disbelief for a long time, and finally closed them gently as if giving up, "Hey, Joshua, do you really have to do that? "

"Ok?"

"You, like us, were born in Erebonia. Although we can't go back to our hometown because of some things, there is no need for us to work so hard for them, right? "Association" or something, they Let them do what they love to do.”

Joshua remained silent, why did he work so hard?Because of my concern, my relatives and lovers are all there.

"If you give up now, there is still time?" Regarding Joshua's silence, Jost seemed to see hope, "Wouldn't it be great for you to leave Libel with us and find an autonomous state to raise our flag?" ? If you don't like being a sky pirate, we can find other jobs~"

The girl began to look forward to the future, and she looked up at the starry sky: "I have talked with my brothers, and everyone plans to take advantage of the speed of this ship and go to work in transportation~"

"Using flying ships to do transportation work. The demand in this area will increase in the future. It is indeed a good business. Compared with being a sky pirate, I think it is much better."

"Then, so~" Jost was surprised.

"That's right." Joshua laughed. "If I'm still alive after successfully dismantling the "Association" plan, I will consider it."

"." Jost's smile froze immediately.

"Ah, you don't have to worry, our contract is coming to an end now. If you can help me this time, the previous old debts will be written off, and you can leave at any time after that. I mean what I say."

"do not talk"

"Ok?"

"Idiot, who is talking to you about repaying the debt!" Jost stomped his feet and jumped up, "Enough! You can break free and die as you wish, and I won't bother you anymore!"

After speaking, Jost ran back to the cabin without looking back.

"I'm sorry, Jost." Looking at the back of Jost leaving angrily, Joshua slowly lowered his head.

"Haha, you pretend to be stupid~" The hatch on the top of the ship opened, and the young man who looked somewhat similar to Jost looked at Joshua with a smile—it seemed that he had been eavesdropping for a long time, and The two people below were a little distracted and didn't notice it.

"Jill." It was Jost's second brother who came.

"My sister is very stubborn, and she can't get rid of her childishness. But what I said just now, I think it's your fault."

"Yeah." Joshua still lowered his head, "Although I can't apologize to her, I also feel sorry for him in my heart."

"Well, I don't understand your good intentions, it's very similar to your style." Jill sighed, "But if you still don't want to go back to that female guerrilla when everything is over, then what happened just now? I hope you will think about it carefully.”

"Haha, it's nothing." Joshua smiled bitterly, "After all, the worlds I live in and hers are too different and far away, and it's impossible to have any intersections anymore."

"Oh~ it's like this, wouldn't that be better?"

"Yeah, I should also think about the future."

In the distance, the distinctive sound of the engine turning could be faintly heard.

The long-awaited goal is long overdue.

————————————————————————————————————————

In the cockpit of "Lynx", the crew members headed by the eldest brother Duo Lun were all absorbed in it. Only Jost stood aside dejectedly, watching Joshua in a daze and remained silent.

"How's the situation?" Joshua sneaked a glance at Jost, forcing himself to be ruthless and focus on the task.

"Ha, just as you expected. They are at an altitude of 1560 sub-moments, sneaking into Liber from the northeast at a speed of 2100 sub-moments per hour. Judging from this high speed and speed, they are definitely not ordinary flying ships. It seems that This new radar you installed is working."

"No, it's not certain yet, it might be a scout boat patrolling the vicinity of the empire." Joshua was cautious, "Jill, how's the observation with the visual mirror?"

"I've captured it, and I'm sending the image to you now."

A red dot first appeared on the screen, then the image was gradually enlarged, and finally the real body appeared—a red attack boat that was very different from the ships in service in various countries.

"That's right, that's my goal this time."

"Okay, let's start right away! Baby, are you mentally prepared?" Duo Lun patted Joshua on the shoulder.

"Well, after I stand in my position, please follow the plan immediately." Joshua took away Doron's big hand and walked to the deck.

The moment his hand touched the cabin door, Joshua turned his head: "Dorren, Jill, and Jost, thank you so far. Although this is just a transactional cooperation, I still want to sincerely thank you. thank you."

"Originally, this should be said after the battle is over." Joshua turned around with a clean smile, without any trace of shadow, "But I don't know if there is still a chance, so let's say it first, so be careful."

After speaking, he pushed open the hatch and never looked back.

"That rascal"

"It's really up to now, what are you still talking about?"

Jost, who had been silent all this time, gritted his teeth, as if making up his mind, he ran out after the cold-hearted young man.

Joshua walked on the deck alone, and just after taking a few steps, he felt someone hugging his shoulders.

"You, at this moment, are still so cold! With a serious face, you said 'thank you so far', do you think I will be happy when I hear it? Such words , I don't want to listen."

Jost rested his forehead on his back and murmured.

".Promise me, don't force yourself, you must come back alive."

"...The opponent is very strong, I can't guarantee that nothing will happen."

The girl's hands trembled slightly, and a slight choked sob mixed with the sound of the wind reached Joshua's ears.

"...However, I can promise you one thing. Even if my goal cannot be achieved this time, I will try to get it back and thank you separately."

"Is that okay?" Joshua turned around and looked at Jost.

"En!" Jost nodded vigorously, and then kissed the black-haired boy's lips as if empowered by a goddess.

"That's it, that's the agreement." Jost ran away with a flushed face, and left the last sentence, "You, you must not forget."

Tuliu Joshua touched his lips alone, his mind went blank. Am I being kissed forcibly?
The red attack boat carelessly passed through the sky, and suddenly a dark green shadow followed, and the guns were loud, and they hurriedly avoided.

Unbeknownst to him, a spear hook quietly hooked its outer guardrail, and the pitch-black fang successfully sneaked in!

"We have an appointment, and he will definitely come back." Jost, who watched this scene on "The Lynx", wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes.

(This flag is set, if Joshua is not the protagonist, he will definitely not come back. If Joshua just agreed directly, and then failed to sneak in and fell to his death, would this book be a masterpiece? The collapsed world line is very interesting to think about. what.)
