Rob looked at the somewhat embarrassed Austa with disbelief.

He immediately suppressed the sound he had just shouted.

Then, Rob looked around warily.

Unlike the trio led by Anjie, there was hardly anyone in the research institute at this time.

Naturally, no one around them noticed what the two had just done.

Immediately, Rob pulled Austa into a corner.

For them, who often engage in mischievous activities in the lab, the blind spots of the surveillance cameras are second nature to them.

"Are you crazy?!"

Just as he reached the corner, Rob slapped the letter onto Austa's face.

Although he tried his best to keep his voice down, his anger and anxiety were still palpable.

"You actually corresponded with her?"

It's no wonder that "Robo" is anxious.

Sofia, or more precisely, Sofia Alekseyevna Grushkov.

This name is very well-known internationally.

At the same age as Rob and the others, she was already a professor at the Northern United Academy of Sciences.

You should know that she is not some kind of time traveler or anything like that.

Calling her a genius is an understatement given her achievements.

However, even so, Rob still considered Austa's correspondence with her to be a very dangerous matter.

The reason is simple: Rob and Austa are currently in the Ocean Federation, in the White Eagle.

Sofia, on the other hand, was the front line, the site of the Northern Alliance.

"It's just some academic discussion, Luo, aren't you being a little too nervous?"

Although Austa felt a little guilty when confronted by Rob, he didn't seem to care much.

"You idiot!"

Austa's attitude completely ignited Rob's anger.

He slammed Austa against the wall and grabbed him by the collar.

“Listen, Austa.”

"Some things, if no one investigates them, then their existence is insignificant."

"However, if someone with ulterior motives investigates, it could be enough to kill you."

"You're secretly collaborating with people from the Northern Alliance? You really think those bastards in the Investigation Bureau are useless?!"

"They are ignoring you now simply because you can produce some things, but not much."

“If one day they want to hold you accountable, these letters are enough to take you to court! In more serious cases, you might not even have the chance to see a judge, understand?”

As one of Rob's few friends, Austa held some weight in his heart.

After listening to Rob's words, Austa also fell into deep thought.

"But...we were just having a proper academic discussion..."

"I know."

Rob released Austa's collar.

"However, sometimes, the facts don't matter."

"I don't want the Bureau of Investigation to be the one to push open the doors of the research institute one day, do you understand?"

Chapter 889: The reason why Antix and the others all have white hair has been found (just kidding)

Rob's memories continue.

This time, however, the fragments of memory are continuous.

In Rob's eyes, it was not broken.

But the scene seemed to be fast-forwarded, changing rapidly in Rob's eyes.

...

After being pinned against the wall and subjected to a barrage of attacks by "Robo," Aosta did indeed behave himself for a while.

However, Austal will then demonstrate with his actions what it's like when researchers get stubborn.

"Luo, I have good news for you."

"My application has been approved."

In the picture, Austa is as happy as a child.

Rob, who was busy with his work, looked up with a blank expression.

"Application? What application?"

"An application to conduct academic exchanges at the Northern Union!"

"This time, the mentor is leading the team personally!"

"..."

Rob blinked, not quite understanding what was happening for a long time.

"Heading to... the Northern Union?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"So, from now on, this place is all yours!"

"By the way, please take good care of Ange as well."

"Hmm~ After all, her... you know."

Looking at Austa's delighted face, "Robo" finally let out a long sigh.

"In our Donghuang, there is an old saying: 'One will not turn back until one hits a wall.'"

“I think it suits you perfectly, Austa.”

As he spoke, "Robo" patted the other person on the shoulder, then turned away, ignoring Austa who was already immersed in his own world.

...

The scene continues to fast forward.

Before long, a letter from the Northern Union appeared in Rob's hand.

The person who sent the letter was, of course, Austa.

The letter contained nothing more than some of his experiences with the Northern Union.

Aosta also attached a photo.

In the photo, standing next to Aosta is a woman who looks quite young.

The white coat couldn't hide her graceful figure.

Her chubby face not only looked cute but also quite beautiful.

If you add to that her long, silver hair that reaches her thighs, even Rob would have to admit that she is indeed a rare beauty.

The names of the two people are written in the lower left corner of the photo.

"Austal...Sophia?"

After staring at the name for a while, Rob turned his gaze back to the center of the image.

"That's not surprising..."

"That's not surprising!"

Looking at the near-perfect figure in the photo, Rob seemed to understand everything.

At this moment, all of Austa's irrational actions became reasonable.

Well, at least that's what "Robb" thinks.

Rob's recollection ends there.

...

Rob felt his consciousness pass through a certain passage once again.

As the scene before him gradually became clearer, he saw the concerned faces of his own ships.

"Hey! Honey's awake!"

"commander!"

The ships came one by one to offer their greetings, causing a buzzing sound in Rob's ears.

"Hiss~ It's nothing, it's not the first time, don't make a fuss!"

Rob sat up from the ground and realized that he had been lying on the company's lap the whole time.

So after he stood up, he also gave his own initial ship a boost.

The corporate woman, who was pulled up by Rob, stood in a very strange posture, as if something was pressing against the soles of her feet.

My legs are numb.

The business owner looked at Rob, a wronged expression on his little face.

"Cough~ Shall I rub it for you?"

"...Never mind, it's nothing!"

The company glanced at the surrounding ships watching, but ultimately, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

...

The footage that was playing earlier was still stuck at the moment when Rob lost consciousness.

However, this time, when Rob looked at the blurry figure in the picture, a more complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Navigator, are you there?"

"Please speak..."

As Rob finished speaking, the navigator's silhouette appeared inside the warship.

"Take a good look at her."

Question: Why?

"She's probably the culprit behind Antix's unusually high white hair content..."

"..."

The navigator fell silent.

Waves flickered back and forth on her phantom image, as if there was a bad signal.

However, a hint of curiosity appeared on the navigator's face at that moment.

Her eyes were also fixed on the indistinct figure in the picture, as if she wanted to record everything.

...

Now that Rob has woken up, the paused footage resumed after some manipulation.

"We failed."

"This fleet, originally intended for scientific research, is also about to go to the battlefield."

"If nothing unexpected happens, dying along with this world will be my end."

"Yes, if that's the case, then that's good."

Although the figure in the picture was not clear, Rob could still hear a sense of sadness in her voice.

"The moment we stepped onto the battlefield, I had no idea what was going to happen."
