《Not Super Robot Wars at All》 CH 1 Chapter 1: A Researcher who doesn¡¯t Want to Drive Gundam is not a Good Capitalist 0 ¡°Good morning, Dr. Lingus.¡± 0 ¡°Good morning, director.¡± 0 Adrian Lingus, dressed in a white coat, strides to his office amid greetings from colleagues. His messy hair shows that he didn¡¯t comb his hair in the morning and that he is a bachelor. 0 Since he was promoted to director of MS Research Institute of Military Industry Department of Anaheim Electronic Industry Lunar Headquarters last year, some people have began to call him director, while others are still calling him doctor. Some of the latter regard Dr. Lingus as a researcher rather than a technocrat, while others ¡°speculate¡± that he would like to be called director. In their opinion, Adrian, a scientific research talent, would like people to praise his academic level rather than his professional title? But Ade didn¡¯t really care. He didn¡¯t make a sound, just nodded casually in response to everyone¡¯s greeting, and then went into his office. 0 This office belongs to Ade alone. Although he is already the director, he still insists that he doesn¡¯t need a secretary. The office is a good reflection of his personal style ¨C there is only one sofa that is enough to lie on. Apart from desks, chairs, computers and other office appliances, nothing else is here. As for the sofa¡­ it is the director¡¯s privilege. In such a place a small willful is also harmless, right? 0 Ade starts the computer, opens the engineering software, and makes a cup of coffee for himself while loading the design drawings. What appears on the screen is Zeta Gundam¡¯s mobile skeleton design, which is now the main project of him. Unlike the Rx-78-2, which is also deformable to some extent, the Earth Federation, which placed the order, required that the airframe should be changed into a fighter plane instead of the original combination. This puts forward high requirements for the most basic activity skeleton of MS. First of all, the skeleton should be precise enough to allow MS to complete such complex deformation; at the same time, the skeleton should be strong enough to support the tossing and turning of this big guy with a weight of more than 20 tons ¨C you know, such deformation may occur repeatedly in high-intensity battles. 0 In addition to the difficulty of design, Zeta¡¯s price is different from that of the previous RX series. It¡¯s like plastic toys that can deform are often more expensive to sell. Of course, they are more likely to break down if you toss about them all day. The Earth Federation is different from P.L.A.N.T(Productive Location Alliance on Nexus Technology), which is a budget minded and bargaining company. But the Zeta Gundam can¡¯t be easily broken. Anaheim¡¯s brand can¡¯t be smashed in his own hands. 0 After nearly a month of precise calculation and repeated attempts, the basic structure of the mobile skeleton has been determined a few days ago. Now Ade is carrying out the final fine-tuning work. If it goes well, we should be able to produce results today? In this way, tomorrow¡¯s shareholders¡¯ meeting I can also increase some voice. Think of this, Ade¡¯s mood change a little better, quietly hummed the song ¡°Todokanai Koi¡±. 0 Yes, another identity of Ade is a shareholder of Anaheim Electronics, holding 3% of the real shares of Anaheim Electronics. With Queen Diana holding 51% of the shares, the 3% is not a small number. Although his colleagues don¡¯t know, they are actually working for Ade to some extent. Of course, Ade is also working for himself and paying himself at the same time. 0 Then again, what¡¯s the point of the formation of airplanes? In the weightless universe environment, as long as there is power, there is no difference between an aircraft, a tank or a color TV refrigerator. All this is meaningful only in the atmosphere. So the scenario Zeta Gundam envisions is likely to be a long-distance attack in the atmosphere. After the aircraft quickly approaches the strategic target, it transforms into the MS form to provide combat effectiveness. After completing the strategic task, it becomes the aircraft again to quickly withdraw or rush to the next mission location. So the imaginary enemy of the Earth Federation is on the ground? Anyway, I¡¯m on the absolutely safe moon. It doesn¡¯t matter who the Earth Federation wants to fight. 0 When people are focusing, time always passes quickly. Ade naturally missed lunch and skillfully took out a bottle of nutriment from the drawer and drank it. This is one of the reasons why he and his colleagues can¡¯t get along well ¨C Ade never has lunch with them. He drinks nutrition every day. It¡¯s not surprising that he missed the most important time of chatting with colleagues every day, so he still hasn¡¯t made close friends. 0 By the time Ade realized, it¡¯s more than three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. After more than half a day¡¯s efforts, the design work of the movable skeleton has been basically completed. From the simulation results of the stress analysis, there are no mistakes. The remaining problems can only be found in the actual test. Ade sent the design drawings to the workshop and asked them to try to make a model first, so that the Zeta Gundam¡¯s design would come to an end. 0 Then Ade checked his to-do list, and the biosensors was at the top. 0 This is another requirement of the Earth Federation in the order, which requires Zeta Gundam to maximize the use of the telepathic power of the ¡°New Type¡±, so the research on biosensors is set up. However, at present, the project is barely maintained by the written information provided by Captain Amuro Ray, and the progress can be described as a turtle climbing. After all, there are no New Types in Anaheim, and everyone knows nothing about telepathy. It is better to say that there is still progress in this case, which has reflected Anaheim¡¯s leading technology level in the industry. 0 Ade borrowed Amuro from the federal government twice, but Amuro didn¡¯t respond. So he let his subordinate, Lucette Audevie deal with it. The last time he cared about it was last week. I¡¯d like to ask about the progress and wash the coffee cup. Ade thought and picked up the glass, got up and went downstairs to Audevie¡¯s office. 0 Lucette audevie, as a system engineer in MS Development Department of Anaheim, has been working for several years. She is good-looking and has strong ability. She has also participated in the core research and development of GP Gundam series. It seems that she has many admirers in the Research Institute. The only drawback is that the character is a little bad. It can even be called arrogant and dictatorial. Last year, she made a wrong route in the Star Incident, and finally she was seriously injured and nearly died. After that, it seems that she understood something and had changed her personality. Her style has become more low-key, and her speech has become more tactful, and she has more friends and admirers. 0 At that time, the company planned to expel her. In view of her great change of character and her excellent ability, Ade spoke to the company to keep her and let her still be an MS system engineer. After that, Audevie was very grateful to him, and he often gave her something to do out of his trust in her ability. 0 Outside Audevie¡¯s office, he heard her and another female colleague¡¯s voice. 0 ¡°Someone on the Internet said that Shiro died in the end? There¡¯s even a picture. Wow, it says ¡°¥·¥í©`¡¤¥¡¥Þ¥À(Shir¨­ Amada)¡± on the death list!¡± 0 ¡°Come on! Shir¨­ Amada and Aina are very loving. The screenwriter should never make a tragedy! As long as he can give them a happy end, I¡¯ll buy two copies of the movies! ¡° 0 ¡°Tonight is the finale. We can send the screenwriter blades tomorrow. When I get off work, I¡¯ll buy some.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t ¨C ah, hello, director!¡± Audevie looks at Ade entering the office, blushing and embarrassed. The other female colleague turned around and banged on the computer, pretending that she was suddenly very busy. It¡¯s such a feeling that the boss caught the staff chatting during working hours. Ade understands it, but now his position as a director doesn¡¯t allow him to turn a blink eye to it. 0 ¡°I can hear it at the door. Your voice is too loud!¡± Ade nodded a little, then said, ¡°Is there any progress on Capatain Amuro Ray?¡± 0 ¡°The earth just replied to the email yesterday.¡± Audevie quietly relieved, ¡°They still don¡¯t want Captain Ray to leave the earth. They say that if we send someone over, they will cooperate with us. But when it comes to asking Captain Ray to come to the moon, they begin to make official remarks. ¡° 0 ¡°What¡¯s the use of going to earth? If we want to have a breakthrough, there must be NT¡¯s personal cooperation! ¡°Although Audevie¡¯s answer was expected by Ade, it didn¡¯t make him happy. He couldn¡¯t help complaining. ¡°What¡¯s the point of the federal raising Amuro like a pig? NT is not an infectious disease, which does not mean that New Type is not a natural person? Wait and see. Sooner or later, Blue Cosmos will go to assassin Amuro.¡± 0 ¡°If they won¡¯t give me Amuro, should I go to Plant to find Char Aznable? I¡¯d like to have Ple. Why don¡¯t you give me Glemy as well?¡± 0 The director will often say some strange words, and most of the time, he will come up with something others can¡¯t understand, such as now. Audevie knows Amuro and Char, because they were famous New Types awakened in the One Year War, and now they are both big names. The director always called them by their first names and looked very familiar with them. Where comes the name ¡°Glemy¡±? It seems to be a person of ZAFT? She can¡¯t remember. And who is Ple? Why does the director want this person? Is this Ple more attractive to the director than Captain Ray? However, years of working experience tells her that as long as she doesn¡¯t reply at this time, the director will soon return to normal. 0 ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s meaningless to continue to negotiate. It¡¯s not a problem you can solve at your level.¡± Ade did not live up to Audevie¡¯s expectations, and quickly returned to the main topic, ¡°Continue to do your business, and I¡¯ll fight for the support of the senior management. By the way, how about the recruitment of Gundam test drivers? ¡° 0 ¡°Some people have submitted their resumes, but none of them meet your requirements. They are enough to deal with ordinary MS, but Zeta Gundam? They certainly can¡¯t handle it. I¡¯m afraid good pilots are monopolized by the Federation and ZAFT, and her majesty, Queen Diana has no spare pilots for us. ¡° 0 ¡°It¡¯s still a while before Zeta Gundam¡¯s test drive. Look for pilots again. It¡¯s better to be short than to be extravagant. If you can¡¯t find, I¡¯ll do it myself, just like before. ¡± In the early days of GP series development, Anaheim didn¡¯t have enough test pilots, so Ade had to do tests himself. In fact, Ade really likes the feeling of driving Gundam. It¡¯s just that the test pilot drives the product. If he becomes addicted to it, it will be very sad. After all, he has to sell it in the end. ¡°It¡¯s a pity we don¡¯t get double pay.¡± 0 In vain, Ade cleans the cup and goes back to his office. Today¡¯s work has been completed, and there is nothing to be prepared for tomorrow¡¯s shareholders¡¯ meeting. It¡¯s only four o¡¯clock now, and it¡¯s not good to leave the company at this time. What can I do? Ade decided to relax. After all, he is the director of the Institute. He has the right to relax. 0 Ade locks the office door, takes off his shoes, lies lazily on his big sofa, and then turns on his music player ¨C his office is soundproof, so it can¡¯t be heard outside. With the accompaniment, Lacus¡¯ gentle voice gradually filled the whole space. 0 This is the latest single ¡°In the Field of Hope¡± released by Lacus the day before yesterday. The pre order before the release has already broken the record of single sales in history, and within 24 hours after the release, the number of downloads of the digital version is twice that of the pre order. Ade contributed a digital pre order. As for the song itself, it¡¯s a matter of course for a top Diva like Lacus to reach the top of the music charts. 0 According to the analysis of online industry insiders, Lacus is at the peak of her career, and the next single will continue to have absolutely strong sales. As long as she doesn¡¯t leave the entertainment circle for a day, the rest will never have a chance to suppress her. Ade thinks that it¡¯s completely understandable. Whether it¡¯s the earth or Plant, for people who have experienced the One Year War and know what pain is, such healing music can bring infinite comfort to people, and it¡¯s not too much to call it spiritual opium. 0 However, for Ade, who has not experienced the war personally and is just a spectator, Lacus¡¯ songs can also bring infinite emotion, but they are totally different reasons. Ade looks at the empty ceiling, and his thoughts gradually relax with the singing of Lacus¡­ 0 Anaheim 0 MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam 0 RX-78-2 Gundam 0 Lucette Audevie 0 Amuro Ray 0 CH 2 Chapter 2: Anaheim¡¯s Inle 0 As a rookie for the first time transmigration, Adrien Lingus is a bit confused. 0 There¡¯s nothing to be picky about the family environment. He has a car, a house, a six-year-old body and his parents dead. He still has a lot of time for development, and it¡¯s lucky that he hasn¡¯t been sexually transferred to a girl. Although his name and race seem to have become Westerners, he still has black hair and black pupils, which is in line with Ade¡¯s preference. It seems that everything is good. The only problem is that he doesn¡¯t remember why he was transmigrated. 0 It¡¯s not that he lost his memory. On the contrary, his memory and thinking are extremely clear now. No matter his indifferent family, his lonely childhood with few friends, his desperate study for independence, the joy of entering a good university, or the tension of his first work, he can remember clearly. But only the memory before his transmigration miraculously disappeared. 0 Is it the sequela of transmigration? Since it¡¯s the first experience, Ade doesn¡¯t know much about it. Maybe there¡¯s some foreshadowing here. For this kind of thinking that is impossible to come to a conclusion, Ade resolutely chose to give up. Now it¡¯s important to figure out what kind of world this is. 0 The wall clock on the wall is made of 12 o¡¯clock, and the gravity of body feeling is about 1 g, so at least I¡¯m on earth? Ade quickly found his home computer and was hit in the face by the truth. It¡¯s not the earth. It¡¯s on the moon. 0 With the development of science and technology, human beings gradually extend their tentacles beyond the earth, and the Earth Federation, which is joined by most of the countries on the earth, was born in the first year of the new era, the universe century. Many moon cities have been built on the moon, and artificial satellite groups named P.L.A.N.T have been gradually built on the Lagrange point. People with the spirit of exploration have bravely stepped into the universe, and the future looks prosperous. 0 In the 15th year of the universe century, the famous writer, artist, scientist and social activist Aeolia Schenberg went to Jupiter for an investigation. When he was on his way, he announced the fact that he had actually experienced gene adjustment on the spaceship, and disclosed the complete method of gene adjustment on the Internet ¨C ¡°Wait a minute, the father of coordinator is not this one. How can I remember his name is George?¡± Ade rubbed his temple and tried to remember who the father of coordinator was and who the person appeared in front of him was, but he just couldn¡¯t remember, ¡°I watched the anime a long time ago. I don¡¯t remember the details at all. Forget it, this person doesn¡¯t matter at all. ¡± Indeed, shortly after bringing back exotic fossils from Jupiter, the father of coordinator was shot dead by members of the Blue Cosmos. 0 Although gene adjustment has seriously impacted social ethics, there are still some people who have performed gene surgery on their children in order to get more perfect offspring. When they grow up, they are rejected by natural people, and most of them choose to immigrate to the universe. The coordinators don¡¯t get along well with the aborigines on the satellite. Most aborigines chose to immigrate to the moon or return to earth. Of course, some of the coordinators chose to settle on the moon. Due to the excellent average scientific literacy of the coordinators and the rapid development of extraterrestrial science and technology, the cosmonauts are gradually getting rid of the constraints of the earth in all aspects. 0 As for the cosmopolitan immigrants who are gradually out of control, the Earth Federation attempts to strengthen its control by limiting food and manage the moon cities and satellite groups as colonies, which arouses strong dissatisfaction among cosmopolitan residents. 0 Then a miracle happened on the moon. Diana and Roland, two lunar city dwellers, discovered black technology on the moon. With the help of scientific researchers, they quickly turned black technology into productivity and combat effectiveness. The next year, the moon, which was already self-sufficient in food, declared independence. Diana was chosen as the Queen by the people of the moon because of her achievements in discovering black technology and her powerful personality charm, thus the moon kingdom was born. Then, of course, the Earth Federation declared war to the moon kingdom. 0 Due to the discovery of the Minovsky Particle, the effect of interfering electromagnetic wave makes the battle in the field of view become the main theme of war. In the Earth-Moon war, the moon¡¯s high mobility humanoid weapon, MS for short, played an overwhelming advantage in the battle. The bulky warships and fragile fighters of the Earth Federation were vulnerable to MS, and the earth was losing ground. The desperate Federation gave up all its virtues in an attempt to nuclear bombing the moon. At this time, Prince Roland, the spouse of Queen Diana, drove the lunar black technology, Gundam Turn A, rushed to the nuclear fleet of the Federation and unleashed the final weapon ¡°Moonlight Butterfly¡±. No one knows what happened, but the entire space fleet disappeared out of thin air, all tactical nuclear-armed forces disappeared, and no one survived. Under the circumstances that nuclear weapons are powerless, the Earth Federation is defeated and has no choice but to recognize the establishment of the moon kingdom. 0 After the war, Queen Diana led the establishment of Anaheim Electronics. The company started with military industry, and its business scope gradually expanded, eventually covering almost all electronic products from MS to game console. The products are popular throughout the solar system, and the annual profits are astronomical. At present, it is the pillar industry of the moon. In addition, Anaheim is responsible for large-scale scientific and technological projects such as man-made gravity and man-made day and night of the lunar city. The moon people are proud to work in Anaheim. 0 ¡°Force two animations together, but subtly make sense.¡± Ade is a bit speechless, but he can only accept it. After all, this is the reality. ¡°Prince Roland¡­ it gives me an inconsistent feeling.¡± 0 Inspired by the moon kingdom and supported by covert technology, the residents of P.L.A.N.T are determined to be independent. Three trendsetters were born by destiny. They are Siegel Klein, Patrick Zara and Giren Zabi, who are known as the three heroes of plant in history. 0 ¡°Wait, whom? Giren Zabi???¡± Ade can¡¯t help but want to give himself a slap to confirm whether he is dreaming or not, ¡°This world, it¡¯s amazing¡­¡± 0 The three are the first generation of coordinators, and they are also friends with the same ideals. They work together for the common ideal of plant¡¯s independent cause. Under the leadership of the three, the plant satellite groups formed an alliance and established an Alliance Council, with Giren Zabi as the first speaker. At the call of Giren, plant formed the volunteer army ZAFT. After some shady deals with Anaheim, ZAFT introduced the advanced MS as a conventional combat unit. 0 The establishment of ZAFT has brought great prestige to Giren Zabi. He then elevated two friends, Klein and Zala, and began a near dictatorial rule. On the one hand, he wantonly cronyism, his younger brothers and sisters and cronies have been placed in important positions in the government forces, on the other hand, he is militaristic, demanding the people to tighten their belts to build MS, and even more, he has made bold suggestions to the Earth Federation that ¡°We Coordinators are not afraid of World War!¡±. The relationship between plant and the earth is increasingly tense. 0 This is the end of history. 0 ¡°That seems to be the end of it, and then this year is the 72nd year of the universe century. ¡°Ade has sorted out the knowledge he just got. His heart is a little complicated. In this chaotic world, everything seems to be different from something in his memory. But life has to go on. Since I am on the moon, where is almost absolutely safe, and I have unique advantages, can I do something I like ¨C ¡°I want to drive Gundam¡±! 0 This is my childhood fantasy. In fact, when I was in college, I had also dreamed of it, but I was too ashamed to tell anyone. But since I have come to this world, why don¡¯t I fight for it? Ade decided to take action immediately, ¡°First set a small goal ¨C work in Anaheim. ¡° 0 His father and mother are natural persons. They died in an accident, leaving a suite and a considerable legacy. If there is no accident, Ade will live on his parents¡¯ legacy and social welfare. Although it¡¯s not good to say that, the death of his parents does provide Ade with great convenience ¨C he can spend all his time studying. Ade has never been so happy that he studied hard in his college career instead of living in ignorance. Relying on the knowledge accumulated in his last life, he applied for the correspondence course of Capital University without any pressure. 0 What surprised Ade even more was that his body was impeccable in both physical strength and intelligence. Ade even once doubted whether he had occupied the body of the perfect coordinator, Kira Yamato. With sufficient physical fitness, excellent learning ability and hard work, Ade successfully obtained correspondence degrees in many majors of Capital University four years later. This is the 76th year of the universe century. Ade is ten years old. 0 After graduation, Ade began to use the Internet to self-study cutting-edge science, while registering an ID of ¡°Inle¡± in Anaheim¡¯s official technology forum for activities. On the forum, ¡°Inle¡± is very active, sharp, has excellent professional knowledge and has many unique forward-looking views on MS. He quickly became a well-known figure in the forum and was recognized by many people as the alternate account of a scientist in Anaheim MS Institute. 0 The next year, Anaheim took the initiative to contact ¡°Inle¡± and invited him to work in Anaheim MS Institute. When the staff in charge of contacting Ade found that ¡°Inle¡± was only 11 years old, they insisted that Ade should be a misdiagnosed coordinator. After all, it is not rare for a coordinator to have a genius in his teens. Ade did a genetic test, because he also wanted to know the answer. He still clearly remembers the unbelievable expression on the doctor¡¯s face at that time, ¡°There is no trace of artificial gene adjustment, not at all. If we have to force an explanation, we can only say that your gene is just as good as the adjusted one. There is no other scientific explanation. ¡° 0 In any case, Ade¡¯s first small goal was successfully accomplished, and he became a general researcher at the MS Institute in Anaheim. 0 With excellent working ability and rigorous attitude, Ade has won the trust of the director in only half a year. Forgetting to comb his hair and occasionally saying some inexplicable words are not big deal at all to such a genius researcher. Just at this time, the Federation came with a new order. They hope Anaheim can develop a powerful next-generation MS that can adapt to various battlefields and have the ability to change the war. When all the leaders of the research institute were at a loss to think about the plan, Ade sent the thick business plan directly to the director¡¯s desk. 0 General Unilateral Neurolink Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver Synthesis System, referred to as Gundam. The name, of course, was forced by Ade to spell the word Gundam. 0 The director greatly appreciated the project and boldly appointed Ade as the general director of Gundam project. Ade did not live up to the expectations of the leaders. Gundam¡¯s development was extremely smooth, and the final products were delivered to the Federation with guaranteed time and quality, which also accumulated valuable development experience for Anaheim. 0 In 1979, with the Bloody Valentine War as the fuse, the war between plant and the Earth Federation finally broke out. 0 At the beginning of the war, ZAFT army limited the nuclear power of the earth with neutron jammer, and gained a short-term advantage. However, after the Federation invested the latest weapon Rx-78-2 Gundam, the Federation gradually reversed the war situation with Gundam¡¯s powerful and almost unsolvable ability. In addition, plant¡¯s resources were gradually exhausted, and ZAFT began to retreat. At the end of the war, Giren¡¯s three younger brothers and sisters died one after another. Giren could not bear to lose and killed himself with a gun. The only orphan of Zabi family is the daughter of Giren¡¯s third brother, Minerva Zabi, disappeared. 0 Siegel Clyne, the leader of the dove faction, was appointed to take over the presidency of the parliament in the face of crisis. He quickly started peace talks with the Earth Federation. With his superb political skills and negotiation skills, he won many rights and interests for P.L.A.N.T, and gained great prestige among the people. In the end, the war ended with a peace agreement. 0 After the war, Ade, as the initiator and general director of Gundam project, was promoted to deputy director of MS Institute, and was personally received by Queen Diana and Prince Roland. Lunar Capital University awarded him an honorary doctorate. The name of the father of Gundam is known as ZAFT and the federal army, while his fans prefer to call him his forum id, ¡°Inle of Anaheim¡±. 0 This is the end of the book. 0 Now and then Ade thinks so smugly. 0 Until that day, an accident tore his daily life to pieces. 0 Aeolia Schenberg 0 Queen Diana 0 Roland 0 turn a gundam 0 Siegel Clyne 0 Patrick Zala 0 Giren Zabi 0 Gundam TR-6 (Inle) CH 3 Chapter 3: The Author¡¯s Malice 0 In the 80 years of the universe century, an ordinary morning. 0 Adrien, deputy director of MS Research Institute, honorary doctor of lunar Capital University, father of Gundam, is having breakfast at home. The breakfast includes bread and milk bought from the convenience store at the weekend. Ade has a habit of listening to the news while having breakfast. He wrote a program called News Assistant, which would screen out the headlines of every section of the day and read them to him. For the busy Ade, this is the main channel for him to get current affairs information. 0 ¡°Shocked! Lacus¡¯ first album was reprinted in high definition. Has her inspiration dried up?¡± Ade continues to eat his breakfast slowly. Silence means that the news doesn¡¯t interest him. The program will continue to read the next one. 0 ¡°Why was he promoted to general? This man may have some secret with Princess Cagalli!¡± For this style of headlines, Ade has been used to it. It seems that this is the final form of media development in any world. As a familiar name appears in the title, Ade gently clicks the terminal on hand, and the program begins to recite the details. 0 ¡°Yesterday, Uzumi Nara Asuha, Prime Minister of the Orb Union, held a ceremony of honor in the capital. Due to his outstanding performance and contribution in the Orb Union Guard Battle during the One Year War period, Kira Yamato was officially awarded the rank of brigadier general. But does young Kira Yamato have enough ability and qualifications to take on the responsibility of a general? According to insiders who did not want to give their names, Kira Yamato has been seen to behave closely with Princess Cagalli on many private occasions. Do they have a shady relationship? Is the award a fair evaluation or a nepotism? We invite experts from the industry to give you a detailed analysis ¨C ¡° 0 Ade quickly points to the terminal and cuts to the next news. Except for the first sentence, the news above is full of worthless rubbish. There is no need to waste time on it. 0 ¡°The hero of the One Year War has become a dandy who spends all his time drinking! Is it the depravity of human nature or the self preservation under the persecution of bureaucrats?¡± This should be Amuro. I¡¯m not interested. Next. 0 ¡°Why is Queen Diana so young? 10 beauty secrets you don¡¯t know, you won¡¯t regret to watch¡­¡± How did this make the headlines? It seems that there is something wrong with the filtering algorithm I wrote. I have to change it later. 0 ¡°Plant shocked! Britannia¡¯s latest military exercise announced the next generation of MS, Lancelot Gundam! ZAFT is afraid to become the biggest loser!¡± 0 ¡°Wait???¡± Ade almost jumped out of his chair. He grabbed the terminal at hand and opened the details as quickly as he could, checking them carefully word by word. ¡°Britannia, Lancelot, Gundam, it¡¯s really these words!¡± 0 No, no, no! It¡¯s been eight years since I came to this world. Ade is sure that it¡¯s a mixed world of almost all Gundam animations, but why do you mess with such things now? Ade felt as if he was surrounded by endless malice. With the last bit of fluke mind, Ade searched Britannia on the Internet, but the result was desperate. 0 ¡°Britannia is the largest imperial country on earth and a major member of the Earth Federation. Its current leader is the 98th emperor, Charles zi Britannia. The country has a vast territory, rich resources and advanced science and technology level¡­¡± Ade doesn¡¯t continue to read, because it¡¯s unnecessary. It¡¯s true. Britannia is real. Wiki also has pictures of the current emperor. It¡¯s really that man!¡± 0 ¡°Lancelot Gundam¡­¡± All plans for the future were completely disrupted in an instant, and a long lost feeling called bewilderment gradually rose, followed by a huge sense of absurdity, ¡°Psycho, is any robot Gundam?¡± 0 But it¡¯s impossible. I¡¯ve been here for eight years. How can I never see this name before? It¡¯s true that Ade has never cared about the member countries of the Earth Federation, and has never spent time studying history systematically, but the colleagues around him will at least mention this name when chatting, right? Oh, he hardly takes part in the chat with colleagues. Anyway, Britannia, as one of the largest countries on earth, can¡¯t have never appeared in the headlines, right? Ade uses Britannia as the keyword to search the news headlines in the past, but he only found this one. 0 ¡°No, there are blind spots.¡± Ade expanded the search scope from the title to the text, ¡°Is that true¡­¡± 0 ¡°Exclusive secret interview! The autocratic emperor ruled cruelly, and the people were in dire straits! ¡± ¡°How could members of the Earth Federation do such a thing? Plant may be the biggest winner!¡± ¡°Shocked! There was a shooting in the royal family of this big empire! Is it a palace scandal or a cry of despair from the people?¡± Britannia has made headlines many times, including some major historical events. For example, the last Ade can probably guess what it is. However, all of them are spam information, with Ade will never look at the detailed content of the headlines. All of them are. The name Britannia really appears in the news headlines for the first time since his transmigration. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say.¡± Ade threw the terminal aside, lying powerlessly on the sofa in the living room, muttering, ¡°I¡¯m so tired. I don¡¯t want to go to work today.¡± 0 After about five minutes in a daze with nothing to do, Ade gradually calmed down from the initial shock and began to wake up. 0 No one has ever said that this world is a pure Gundam world. Everything is just my own preconceived wishful thinking. Empiricism blinds my eyes, familiar history makes me feel arrogant like a prophet, and media¡¯s incorruptness is not an excuse for my ignorance. Britannia has always existed. It¡¯s not something hidden in the social civilization that is exposed today. On the contrary, it¡¯s the ignorant and arrogant myself that is exposed today. There is something I need to say, but it is not to the unscrupulous media, but to myself. 0 Ade stood up and took a deep breath, trying to organize his emotions. It¡¯s not the attitude of a first-class scientific researcher to blindly deny things that really exist. The first step forward is to bravely accept the reality. Otherwise, he and those who shout ¡°it¡¯s impossible! It¡¯s impossible for New Type to exist!¡± are no different. What I should do now is to collect Britannia¡¯s information as much as possible and try to find out whether Geass exists or not. After all, different world outlooks in this world have made some changes in their settings in order to get along well. If it does exist, try my best to avoid all contact with Geass holders. When Ade thinks of the special functions of Geass such as mind reading and brainwashing, he only wants to stay away. 0 The current short-term goal is to transform my News Assistant as soon as possible, adding keyword replacement function, so as to avoid this kind of things in the future. And, the most important thing now is to continue eating breakfast and then go to work. Absent without reason will deduct money! Even the deputy director does not have the privilege of absenteeism! As the only source of income for the family, Anaheim¡¯s salary is very important to Ade. With all this in mind, Ade goes back to his seat and begins to enjoy his breakfast. 0 Forty minutes later, Ade was in the office and focused on today¡¯s work. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, is it true that the federal government is going to order a new Gundam from us again?¡± 0 The sudden sound interrupts Ade¡¯s thinking. He shifts his attention from the monitor to the blonde in front of him. This beautiful young woman, Nina Purpleton, is an intern recently recruited by MS Research Department. Besides her good looks, she is impeccable in her ability. The only problem is that her character is a little bad. Although she is older in age, I¡¯m her leader! At the same time, Lucette Audevie and Purpleton were in a similar situation. They happened to be good friends, beautiful women, brilliant talents and bad personalities. Well, are the capable beauties all bad in character? If there is no accident, both of them should be able to stay next year. 0 ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the company to give us a formal notice. Don¡¯t talk nonsense before that.¡± As a deputy director, Ade can¡¯t give her an affirmative answer. 0 ¡°Is that true?¡± Pableton decisively ignored the meaning of his words, ¡°Should the doctor be in charge then?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m determined to obey the organizational arrangements. I¡¯ll be where the company needs me.¡± The old director is about to retire in a few years. The competition among several deputy directors is very fierce. In addition to ability, other factors are equally important. Ade will never have a say in such a place, ¡°I¡¯m a brick of Anaheim, where the company needs me, I will move to where¡­¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, if you talk like this, we can¡¯t talk anymore¡­¡± 0 ¡°We shouldn¡¯t talk during working hours.¡± As Purpleton turns back to her seat, Ade feels that his response is seamless. Although he was shaken by Britannia in the morning, it seems that he has recovered completely. 0 Yes, there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of. Britannia itself is not a big problem. It¡¯s just one of the great powers on earth. What impacts him is the possibility of the existence of Geass. Rationally, first of all, Geass does not necessarily exist in this world. Just like other specious histories, it is very possible and reasonable for Geass to be reconciled by this world. To say the least, even if Geass really exists, there are only a few people who own Geass, and Ade knows the identity of these people very well. It¡¯s not difficult for him to completely avoid the events related to Geass as long as he perfectly avoids the life track of Lelouch. What he has to do is to stay away from trouble and design Gundam happily. When the sky falls down, there will be Queen Diana. That¡¯s Moonlight Butterfly! It¡¯s invincible, OK? 0 After careful reasoning, analysis and self consolation, Ade was in a good mood, and his work efficiency improved a lot, until another person interrupted him again, ¡°Dr. Lingus, the director wants you to go to conference room 1 immediately.¡± 0 Ade looked up and saw the director¡¯s secretary. 0 ¡°OK, I¡¯ll go right now, please.¡± He quickly stopped the work at hand, followed the secretary out of the office, ¡°If it¡¯s convenient, can you tell me what it is?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re welcome, doctor.¡± The Secretary and Ade usually get along well. At this time, it¡¯s OK to let him know in advance. They walked along the corridor and chatted, ¡°Today, a shareholder of our company came to inspect. When the director accompanied her to visit MS Research Institute, she said that she wants to see the father of Gundam.¡± 0 ¡°Wow! Shareholder, big person.¡± Ade smiles. ¡°It looks like I¡¯m a rare animal.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re joking. Maybe the other party is a fan of you? Oh, here we are, doctor. Please come in. ¡°But Ade doesn¡¯t take it seriously. 0 Follow the Secretary into the meeting room, where two people sit opposite each other. One is a spirited old man, who is actively saying something to another. He is the director, Ade¡¯s immediate superior. The young lady sitting at the top of the table should be the shareholder mentioned by the secretary. Her smooth skin and beautiful face make him unable to guess the specific age. Her delicate face shows a cold expression. She seems to be absent-minded about what the director is talking about. A simple white lady¡¯s suit tightly covers her slim figure. The rarest thing that adorns her slender limbs is a green, soft, long hair hanging down to her waist, which brings a trace of enchantment to her cool appearance. 0 Something like a wake-up call rang in Ade¡¯s heart, which made him feel dizzy and thirsty. He clung to the straw known as fluke, trying to make himself more stable. 0 ¡°Adrien, here you are. ¡°The director stood up, and the shareholder also stood up. ¡°Let me introduce each other. This is the treasure of Anaheim, Dr. Adrien Lingus. Adrien, this beautiful lady is an important shareholder of our company, Ms. C.C. ¡° 0 All the ridiculous self consolation just now turned into powder in an instant, and Adrien Lingus stood on the spot as if struck by lightning. 0 Knightmare Lancelot 0 Charles zi Britannia 0 CH 4 Chapter 4: The Most Common Protagonist Privileges 0 ¡°Ha ha, I didn¡¯t expect that Adrien was young and would lose his manners when he saw a beautiful woman.¡± The director saw that Ade was stuck in the same place and didn¡¯t move, so he quickly made a joke. ¡°The charm of Lady C.C. is really great, and only the beauty of Queen Diana can match that of you. Is it, Adrien?¡± He patted Ade on the shoulder, trying to wake him up. 0 ¡°Ah, yes, you¡¯re so beautiful. I¡¯m so stunned by you. Don¡¯t laugh at me.¡± Ade gives the director a grateful look and tries to restrain himself. Fortunately, C.C. is really beautiful and can use this excuse to deal with it. Now is not the time to worry about why C.C. is here. What he should do now is to try his best to be an ordinary scientific researcher and make C.C. lose interest in himself quickly. 0 ¡°Thank you.¡± C. C. smiles faintly and looks at Ade with a playful look in her eyes. ¡°This is Dr. Lingus, the father of Gundam? I¡¯ve heard so much about you that you¡¯re really talented. ¡° 0 ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary researcher.¡± Ade responded modestly while trying to recall information about C.C. Since the court shooting was a few years ago, the current C.C. should be the holder of code instead of Geass, so it¡¯s safe to make eye contact with her. ¡°I just did a little bit of work.¡± 0 Ade tries to get back to the normal rhythm. 0 ¡°Sit down and talk, Ms. C.C., please.¡± When the director saw that Ade was back to normal, he was relieved. Although he doesn¡¯t know what the situation is, he has decided to teach him a lesson later. When he was interviewed to see Queen Diana, he didn¡¯t show his shyness. Why did he make a fool of himself today? 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus is too modest. You have brought great benefits to the company. As a shareholder, I know it best.¡± C. C. returned to the top of the table, still staring at Ade, ¡°Dr. Lingus, have we met before? I always feel very kind. I seldom come to the moon. Does Dr. Lingus travel a lot?¡± 0 ¡°How can it be? Today is my first time to see Ms. C.C. I¡¯ve been living on the moon all the time, and I¡¯ve never been to the earth¡­¡± No good! Ade suddenly realized that C.C. had never said that she came from the earth! The first reaction of a normal person should be to mistakenly recognize her as a coordinator! Ade mobilized all his brain cells, thinking about all possible remedies in a few seconds. 0 ¡°- and never been to plant. Otherwise, if I have seen such a beauty as Ms. C.C., I will never forget it. ¡± This should be no problem, right? Ade smiles embarrassed and looks at C.C. as if nothing had happened. This kind of time, eyes must not be erratic. 0 ¡°The doctor must have the best memory. If you say that, I should have misunderstood you.¡± C. C. looking at the director with a smile. Her expression suddenly became rich. ¡°Sir, is Dr. Lingus busy today? If conditions permit, I¡¯d like to invite the doctor to lunch.¡± 0 Sure enough, did you still notice me? Ade felt more tired than working all night. This woman directly asks the director, he doesn¡¯t even have the right to refuse. 0 ¡°Of course, no problem. Adrien¡¯s work is coming to an end, he has sufficient free time!¡± Of course, the director can see that C.C. is very interested in Ade for some reason. After Ade enters the house, her performance is completely different from before. The director doesn¡¯t matter what the reason is. He¡¯s going to retire. It¡¯s good to make a good relationship with shareholders at this time. Besides, it¡¯s just an opportunity for young people like Adrien to meet big people, right? ¡°Adrien. Why don¡¯t you go to dinner with Ms. C.C. now? It¡¯s going to take some time. Ms. C. C. what do you like? I know the restaurants around here like the back of my hand!¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, director. I¡¯ve just picked up a restaurant I¡¯ve always wanted to go to.¡± C. C. looking at Ade, the corner of her mouth slightly tilted up, ¡°Dr. Lingus, please.¡± 0 Along the way, Ade didn¡¯t take the initiative to talk to C.C. . He insisted on the creed of saying more and making more mistakes. He just waited for C.C. to ask and answer whatever she asked. Coincidentally, C.C. seems to have lost interest in Ade and didn¡¯t take the initiative to chat with him. Just like lovers giving each other the silent treatment, they come all the way to a high-end restaurant that Ade has never been to. To Ade¡¯s surprise, the restaurant staff knew him, which made him aware that he was a public figure on the moon. 0 Luxury decoration and playing Chopin¡¯s ballads show the style of the restaurant. There are not many guests at noon on weekdays, and the sparse seat distribution makes the atmosphere very cold. How expensive can the dish be? Ade thought, but fortunately, the company paid for it. 0 The two seem to be sitting in one of the best seats in the restaurant, with the floor to ceiling windows showing most of the city. The nearest other guests are also far away from them, even the normal chat will not disturb others. Until the waiter finished serving, no one spoke first. 0 Until C.C. broke the silence, ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Adrien.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t mind if you insist, Ms. C.C., although we are not so familiar.¡± Ade decisively changed into just a harmless defensive smile, ¡°But Ms. C.C., I¡¯m a little embarrassed.¡± 0 ¡°Just call me C.C. and there¡¯s no need for honorifics.¡± C. C. still keeps the expression of finding prey, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go straight in, Adrien, you know me.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re joking. Didn¡¯t I say that today is the first time I¡¯ve meet you ¨C¡° 0 ¡°You are indeed the first to see me today. You did not lie, but what I said is, YOU, RECOGNIZE, ME.¡± 0 ¡°Ha ha, how could it¡­¡± Some things are beyond his expectation. Shouldn¡¯t we try each other out first? Ade uses his brain very quickly, trying to find a way to break the deadlock. This kind of thing is really not what he is good at. It¡¯s not only exhausting but also meaningless. 0 ¡°After living for so many years, although I don¡¯t have any other talents, I¡¯ve only met more people.¡± C. C. doesn¡¯t plan to give Ade time to think, ¡°It¡¯s the look in the eyes of people who suddenly see someone he knows in an unexpected place. Am I right, Adrien? Can you tell me why you don¡¯t want to see me so much?¡± 0 ¡°I really didn¡¯t ¨C¡° 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a waste of time and meaningless behavior for scientific researchers like you to explore each other, find loopholes in each other¡¯s words, and attack each other a little bit? You know that I¡¯m C.C., that I¡¯m from the earth, and we all know that. I think we can go straight to the next step. So back to the question, why don¡¯t you want to see me so much?¡± C. C. staring at Ade¡¯s eyes, pressing step by step, ¡°Does your resistance attitude mean that you know more?¡± 0 It¡¯s meaningless to pretend to be a clown in front of people who understand you. Looking back at C.C., it seems that people will become foxy after living for a long time. It is impossible for them to be pure girls forever. ¡°I just want to stay out of trouble.¡± Ade simply admitted it. 0 ¡°Oh ~¡± C.C. showed a sly smile, like saying ¡°I caught you¡±. An ordinary person may mistake her for just a naughty teenager, but Ade is not in the mood to appreciate it now. ¡°You know I¡¯m a trouble. In this case, I¡¯m surprised that you don¡¯t know I¡¯m Anaheim¡¯s shareholder?¡± 0 ¡°Never thought about it, otherwise there would be no flaws in the beginning.¡± Telling the truth makes Ade feel free from suffocation. It¡¯s much more relaxed. This is his normal appearance. ¡°But I figured it out soon. It¡¯s normal to be a shareholder after living for so many years. ¡° 0 ¡°You¡¯re better now. That fake smile was disgusting.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry I can¡¯t do the acting.¡± 0 ¡°The acting is really bad, but the ability of random response is commendable. Anyway, how do you know that? You won¡¯t tell me, right? Well, I won¡¯t ask. But this trip to the moon is worth it.¡± After a taste of the dish that was almost cooled down, C.C. put down her knife and fork and said, ¡°It¡¯s not so delicious, why is it so expensive? By the way, I thought that the father of Gundam was just another boring scientist like the father of Minovsky Particles and the father of Coordinator. But I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such an interesting thing. Tell me, do you want to make a deal with me?¡± 0 ¡°With all due respect. I don¡¯t want to live forever, I don¡¯t want to kill anyone. ¡± When he heard the word ¡°deal¡±, Ade immediately thought of something and refused it reflexively. But is that a little too much? 0 C.C.¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp, and the way she had just been at ease disappeared. Her eyes ploughed across Ade¡¯s face, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for my ability, I would almost think you had mind reading skills. Although I don¡¯t know where you get the information, it feels so bad to hear these words from others. Even for me, it¡¯s a rare experience. ¡° 0 ¡°But there seems to be something you don¡¯t know. For the sake of giving me so many surprises, I¡¯ll let you know for free. ¡± The tense just now appearance disappeared like a bubble. Without any sign, C.C. changed back to the relaxed and freehand style before. ¡°Whether it is the holder or the object of Geass, it must be human, which is determined by the essence of Geass. Oh, it seems that you understand it immediately. It¡¯s easy to understand that coordinator, New Type and moon people can neither be the holder of Geass nor the object of Geass. You know so many things, and you don¡¯t know this? I see. Is this the reason why you don¡¯t want to see me?¡± 0 ¡°In other words, coordinator, New Type and moon people are not considered human?¡± The sudden addition of settings is all good news, which lets Ade feel suddenly relaxed. So, I have nothing to be afraid of? 0 ¡°To be considered¡­ How much do you know¡­ It¡¯s getting more and more interesting. You said before that you¡¯ve never left the moon, and that¡¯s for sure the truth.¡± 0 ¡°Coordinator is not human in physiology, no problem, New Type is not human in spirit, it makes sense.¡± The fearless Ade doesn¡¯t care about the slight slip of words. The intelligence just given by C.C. is too valuable, so he can¡¯t help thinking deeply, ¡°What about the moon people? Why aren¡¯t the moon people humans? Self awareness? Because we don¡¯t think that we are humans?¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡­ All right. ¡± C. C. can¡¯t Ahelp leaning out and looking at Ade, her eyes are full of disbelief. 0 Why is it women¡¯s suit? It¡¯s different from animation. Even if you make this posture, I can¡¯t see anything! Ade doesn¡¯t know why he thinks these things inexplicably. Maybe people¡¯s thinking will become particularly divergent after suddenly relaxing? 0 ¡°Wait, something¡¯s wrong.¡± Suddenly, C.C.¡¯s eyes became sharp again, staring at Ade with burning eyes, ¡°Can you do an experiment with me?¡± 0 ¡°What for?¡± Ade doesn¡¯t remember how many times this woman has changed her face today. 0 ¡°I feel you are not quite right, but I can¡¯t say what is wrong. I hope you can cooperate with me to verify it.¡± C. C. has a serious expression. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve met this feeling. I can¡¯t tell you why. What I can guarantee is that whatever you just refused will not happen. I hope you can cooperate.¡± 0 The woman turned her face faster than she turned a book. Ade was speechless and agreed. After all, C.C.¡¯s words accurately poked his weakness. It¡¯s about code. If he let it go, he would not sleep well in the future. 0 ¡°Then look me in the eye.¡± Ade followed C.C.¡¯s instructions and looked her in the eye. C. C.¡¯s eyes are beautiful, the golden pupil shows dreamy brilliance under the reflection of ambient light, is deep and bottomless, as if there is another world at the other end of the pupil, giving Ade the illusion of being sucked in. He doesn¡¯t know how long has passed, he heard C.C. again, ¡°There is such a thing¡­ In my long life, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen it. ¡° 0 ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ade wakes up a little reluctantly from looking at each other. 0 ¡°In conclusion, you can hold Geass, but you can¡¯t be the target of Geass.¡± C. C. looks a little distressed and frowns, ¡°It¡¯s like cheating, but I don¡¯t know why. I¡¯ve never seen this before.¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t the reason very simple?¡± At the moment of hearing the conclusion, Ade understood, and the little strange emotion just now was also scattered without a trace. Ade thinks of the time when he just transmigrated. He thinks of his study in the university. He thinks of the first Gundam built last year. He thinks of being silly and funny in the morning. All the things after his transmigration are passing in front of him like lanterns. The answer in front of him is too funny, too obvious and too interesting. He couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°Because I¡¯m neither human nor non-human.¡± 0 ¡°Ha?¡± Since they met in the morning, C.C., who has always been very calm, showed a blank expression for the first time. Because the appearance is too cute, Ade laughs more happily. 0 Really, there is nothing more ironic, more reasonable, and more in line with the double standards of the identity of the time traveller, right? Ade suddenly thought of his last life, which he thought was about to forget and was not very happy ¨C ah, was I so persistent? 0 Just like a part breaks down suddenly, Ade forgets C.C. in front of him, forgets eating in the restaurant, forgets himself as a public figure, and just laughs so hard that tears come out. 0 The well-trained restaurant waiters turned a blind eye to what happened on this side. A couple sitting in the corner of the restaurant were watching and whispering. C.C. quietly watched the young man in front of her, venting a strange emotion that even she could not understand. Somehow, she resonated with it and felt inexplicable sadness. 0 Hyzenthlay 0 Dandy Lane CH 5 Chapter 5: Witch and Paramecium (Preface) 0 ¡°Sit down, coffee or tea?¡± 0 After what happened in the restaurant, they finished the bill and left in a hurry. C. C. affectionately suggests that Adrien, who is not in a stable mood, go home to have a rest, and she also tacitly follows Ade into the ¡°Lingers¡¯ home¡±. 0 ¡°Water will do. Don¡¯t you explain what happened just now? You¡¯ve succeeded in arousing my curiosity. It¡¯s very unpleasant to feel that only you understand and I don¡¯t understand at all. ¡± C. C. sitting casually at one end of the L-shaped sofa in the living room, looking at the room. 0 Although the room is not big, it is clean. All kinds of things are put in order. The door of the bedroom is not closed. She can see that the inside is also clean. Even the quilt is folded neatly. The owner here must be a very self disciplined person, right? 0 ¡°Sorry for the gaffe.¡± Ade puts a glass of water in front of C.C., makes himself a cup of black tea and sits down on the other end of the sofa. Now he has completely calmed down, as if nothing had happened. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to explain, literally. To you and to me, I am neither natural nor unnatural. How to say, just like, just like Paramecium?¡± 0 ¡°Paramecium?¡± C. C. pondering over the word, ¡°Paramecium that is neither an animal nor a plant¡­¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s easy to talk to smart people.¡± Ade picked up the cup and took a sip. The light bitterness spread from the tip of his tongue. ¡°As for the reason, this is one of my most important secrets. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t tell you.¡± 0 ¡°In that case, Mr. Paramecium, let¡¯s go back to the original question. Do you want to make a deal with me?¡±C.C. knows that there won¡¯t be any result after questioning, and decisively chooses to change the topic. ¡°Of course, the content of the transaction is completely different from before. Don¡¯t be too busy refusing. You¡¯ve got new information. Why don¡¯t you rethink?¡± 0 ¡°Can I ask what the previous deal was?¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the point?¡± C.C. looks at the young man in front of her with great interest. No, she can be sure that he is not a young man at all. C.C. has absolute confidence in her age judgment. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve forgotten that you¡¯re a teenager, right? Or are you too lazy to pretend to be a shy teenager after being exposed? It doesn¡¯t matter. What¡¯s important is that her intuition tells her that there has never been such a suitable person in her long life, and she doesn¡¯t know when she will meet another again. 0 C. C. I don¡¯t know what she has in common with the man in front of her. Adrien Lingus¡¯s resume is very clear. He is just an ordinary genius scientist. But before in the restaurant, although the feeling of soul resonance is ethereal, it is absolutely true, and the sadness is also very familiar. In this case, there is no reason to miss this opportunity, right? Thinking of this, C.C. let herself sit next to Ade. 0 This sudden action surprised Ade, but he didn¡¯t ask ¡°What are you doing?¡±. The fragrance of shampoo from the hair nearby is a bit trance, and the hands holding the cup are also white. No matter how much he has the superiority of being a transmigrator, his life length is only a fraction of hers, right? Ade picked up the cup and took another sip. The tea was specially made very thick, but the bitter taste can make people think rationally instead of being influenced by some irrelevant factors. 0 ¡°You seem to know exactly what I want, and I¡¯m surprised, but I¡¯ll call it a day.¡± C. C.¡¯s cold voice came from one side, and she was calm and arrogant again. ¡°For the sake of fairness, let¡¯s talk about what you want first? Understand this, you can make the right judgment. So answer me, Ade, what do you want? I can feel that you have no interest in power. ¡° 0 ¡°Nothing in particular.¡± Has it become Ade? It¡¯s so unusual. ¡°If I have to say that, make a very powerful Gundam? It¡¯s better to have nuclear power. Lithium batteries are too bad. And I¡¯ll hang up all the weapons I can think of on it. Oh, by the way, it won¡¯t be a commodity, it will totally belong to me. ¡° 0 Did the man not understand her problem at all? C.C. thinks it¡¯s funny. It¡¯s like the graduation plan submitted to the university only says that I want to eat steak when I go out to play next weekend. It¡¯s like the proposition called ¡°my ideal¡± only says that I want to travel abroad next year. Do you really not understand or are you just such a person? Strength, wealth, women, what do you want at least? It¡¯s OK to yearn for scientific truth according to your setting. ¡°Make a very powerful Gundam¡±? It¡¯s just ¡°very powerful¡±, not even ¡°the strongest¡±. Isn¡¯t this kind of answer too funny? 0 C. C. losing the desire to answer, the air suddenly quiets down. She looked at the room again in a dull way to dispel her restlessness. 0 The kitchen is extremely clean, and there are only instant food bags in the garbage can. The tables and chairs in the dining room have no trace of being used. The door of the master bedroom used by the dead parents was closed and the inside could not be seen. In the second bedroom in use, except for computers and printers, she can¡¯t see anything that can be used for entertainment. All around the cabinet did not put any decorative items or practical life props. Even in front of the tea table, in addition to two cups, even toilet paper and fruit tray and other things are not. Is this a home? Hotel or tavern, no matter which is more appropriate than ¡°home¡± to call this place, right? 0 Ah, I see. C.C. suddenly understood where the restless feeling came from and where the disobedience of this room came from. So it is. Adrien Lingus fully understood her questions and answered them honestly. His world is like this room, where there is neither dazzling hope nor ferocious desire. And the funny answer is already the best he can give. 0 So this person is actually the same as myself, and what¡¯s more interesting is that he has no consciousness. This feeling of empathy and intimacy from the bottom of my heart is proving that my judgment is completely correct, and the strange feelings I just felt in the restaurant have all been reasonably explained. Is this feeling of wandering for countless years and seeing another self at the end of the universe? An accomplice? No, another patient, right? 0 ¡°Well, let¡¯s make a contract.¡± 0 ¡­¡­ 0 Is my answer too wordless? All in all, C.C. was inexplicably quiet and didn¡¯t continue to talk to himself. To be honest, Ade doesn¡¯t know what to do. All of a sudden, Geass became something that was good for him. What he said at noon is just because he is afraid of being read mind and brainwashed. Although the reason is a little ironic, if all the things you are afraid of disappear, is it OK to accept Geass? The only danger is that Geass will be out of control if he uses it too much and the agreement to kill C.C. Is the latter mandatory? If not, the decision is in my own hands, right? 0 ¡°Well, let¡¯s make a contract.¡± 0 C. C. interrupted Ade¡¯s thinking. This topic is too jumping, isn¡¯t it? 0 ¡°You want to build your own Gundam? It takes a lot of money. I own 3% of Anaheim, which can be transferred to you. In exchange, you have to accept Geass. ¡° 0 ¡°It¡¯s too good for me, isn¡¯t it? Don¡¯t I have to do something?¡± 0 ¡°You know, human beings grow up through cognition.¡± C. C. suddenly turn over, straddle on Ade¡¯s legs, hold the back of the sofa with both hands, and look directly into Ade¡¯s eyes, ¡°Recognize others, recognize the world, and then transform your own rationality and sensibility, this process is called growth.¡± 0 C. C.¡¯s aura is too strong. Her cheek is close to Ade¡¯s face. He can hear the sound of her breathing. The long hair across his face makes him feel a little itchy. He can feel the soft touch even through the clothes. 0 ¡°And the most important of them is self-cognition. No matter what you are waiting for at the end of the line, there is no way to reach the end of the line for those who are just transforming themselves with reference to the outside world. ¡± C. C. sounds like hypnosis, gradually eroding Ade¡¯s thinking. ¡°It¡¯s like today, you¡¯ve grown up once, and you¡¯ve seen yourself that you didn¡¯t realize before.¡± 0 ¡°I have no way to grow up, but I want to see you come to the end, I believe you will give me a satisfactory answer. That¡¯s my wish. ¡± Reason told him that what C.C. said was baffling and fragmented, but the brain somehow began to resist thinking. ¡°Well, let¡¯s make a contract?¡± 0 Ade felt a trance of consciousness. 0 A V-shaped mark appeared on her forehead, and the invisible brilliant light gushes out from it. C.C.¡¯s golden eyes seem to connect with Ade¡¯s consciousness. Ade sees time, civilization, survival and destruction in the depth of her pupils. And then it all came to an abrupt end. 0 ¡°The contract is established, Mr. Paramecium.¡± 0 CH 6 Chapter 6: Alice 0 The sudden ringing of the alarm awakened Ade from his long memory. He looked at the time. It¡¯s already six o¡¯clock. Did he think about it for nearly two hours? Maybe it¡¯s because there is a guest at home tonight, which makes him recall the past things carelessly. Anyway, it¡¯s time to get off work. 0 Ade tidies up his things and sorts out the mood that fluctuates because of his memories. Usually, he tries to get off work on time, because he knows that as long as he doesn¡¯t leave, many other colleagues will also delay. In a sense, he is a good leader who sympathizes with his subordinates. 0 Although there is still a guest waiting at home, he still has a place to go every day after work. After a 30 minute drive, he arrived at a hangar, which originally owned by Anaheim and is rented by him now. The staff are off work, except for the security personnel responsible for patrol outside, he is the only one in the whole hangar. There¡¯s an MS in the big hangar. 0 This is his own Gundam. 0 After getting the shares transferred from C.C., the annual dividend of 3% is even enough for him to support a private army, and the huge amount of money allows him to immediately start what he has been waiting for. Gundam, which was designed entirely by himself, was customized to Anaheim as a client, and then developed by himself as a project leader. After all, all he needed was Anaheim¡¯s production line. 0 Sorry, money means you can do whatever you want. 0 Gundam, code named Tr-6-Inle (Inle), has invested all the most advanced technologies regardless of cost. In addition to some patents contributed by Ade himself, all the advanced achievements that Anaheim can sell and cannot sell but can get by using the rights of shareholders are completely embodied in this machine. 0 The body is divided into three parts, the huge components make it almost occupy the whole hangar. 0 As the core, Hyzenthlay is a normal size Gundam. The black coating is quiet and cold under the reflection of the light. In order to avoid the Neutron Jammer, Ade used some unconventional means to exchange a small Neutron Jammer Canceller from plant. The armor completely adopts the phase shift (PS) armor jointly and secretly developed by the company and Orb Union, so that Inle can almost completely ignore the threat of live ammunition weapons. For this reason, Ade paid a large patent fee to the company and Orb Union, and signed a confidentiality agreement. Without nuclear reactor as power source, ordinary battery powered MS can not afford the huge consumption of PS armor. 0 In addition, the airframe is equipped with a Minovsky floating system, which has a simple anti-gravity function and can carry out the conventional flight in the atmosphere ¨C a patent contributed by Ade last year, which has not been disclosed by the company. Normally, it will take some time after Zeta Gundam¡¯s order is completed to pretend that it has just been successfully developed, so that it can make two profits. 0 Hyzenthlay is equipped with conventional weapons such as Beam Cannon, Beam Saber, mega particle cannon, Vulcan gun and solid missile. In the idea of Ade, the beam cannon will be replaced by VSBR (Variable-Speed Beam Rifle) whose power and velocity can be adjusted freely in the future. In order to speed up this process, VSBR¡¯s feasibility plan has been submitted to the company by Ade. At present, another team is responsible for the research and development. Once the development is completed, Ade can replace Inle with it. 0 In addition to these conventional weapons, the biggest feature of Hyzenthlay is the 10 meter long blade rifle hanging on both sides of the body near the hands. It is usually used as a conventional rifle, and the wide side can provide additional cover for the cockpit. When the enemy has no time to pull out the Beam Saber, the high-energy particle flow that can be opened at the edge of the rifle can be directly used as a huge close combat blade to provide the pilot with the first time counter attack means. 0 In addition to the above, Ade also made Fin Funnels ahead of time, with six small wings symmetrically distributed behind the Hyzenthlayes. Due to the lack of telepathy, these Fin Funnels are controlled by the dragoon system, which requires the strong spatial imagination and real-time computing power of the pilot. The current Ade can¡¯t operate it independently. After making this thing, Ade finally understands how strong Kira Yamato is. 0 As the plug-in arms of Hyzenthlays, fire pendant Faber and power pendant Dandy Lane are the other two components of Inle. The experience of developing GP03 makes Ade handy in designing this kind of plug-in arms. 0 From above, Faber combined with Hyzenthlayes, is Inle¡¯s ammunition depot. The super long-range beam cannons provide the absolute advantage for Inle in preemptive attack. Although the firepower of mega particle cannons is slightly less than that of the former, they are effective in dealing with large-scale enemies. The live ammunition weapons of cluster missiles are also placed in the rear in order to counter enemies with beam resistance. In addition, Faber¡¯s biggest feature is the small spherical armed UAV located on both sides of the top. When Hyzenthlayes is connected with Faber, the main control of the Fin Funnels will be connected to the UAV, and the UAV with more powerful firepower and endurance will replace Fin Funnels to provide mobile firepower support for Inle. 0 According to the assumption, Faber should also be equipped with a light shield with the function of defending beam weapons, but there is no clue how to realize this light shield at present. 0 Dandy Lane, as the power unit of Inle, is designed to integrate with Hyzenthlayes from below. Dandy Lane itself is not armed, and its only purpose is to power Inle. The powerful thruster and large Minovsky floating system enable Inle to have warship class mobility in the universe and intercontinental voyage ability in the atmosphere. Additional nuclear reactors and solar sails that can be put into the body at will, together with the high-strength and heat-resistant materials used in all three modules, give the single Inle a means of entering and leaving the atmosphere. 0 Apart from the high cost and difficult maintenance, Ade can¡¯t think of any shortcomings. Just looking at it, he can have a great sense of satisfaction and achievement. 0 Ade walks outside the cockpit of Hyzenthlayes, the door opens automatically, and there is an electronic voice inside. 0 ¡°Welcome back, Ade.¡± 0 Ade gets into the cockpit and the door closes. 0 ¡°Good evening, Alice.¡± 0 Higher logic and contradiction cognitive equipment, Alice for short. 0 The combination of Amuro Ray and Gundam is too dazzling in the One Year War. Even though Gundam can be mass produced, Amuro cannot replicate. In order to fill the gap between MS and pilot, the Earth Federation commissioned Anaheim to develop high intelligence AI that can assist pilots. Alice is the only achievement of this project. Due to huge development costs and gradually exposed ethical issues, the project was eventually abandoned. What waiting for Alice is permanent power off and Anaheim¡¯s patent warehouse. 0 In order to train Alice¡¯s understanding and communication skills, different people talk to her every day. Although it¡¯s not a project that Ade is responsible for, Ade has talked to Alice many times. After the abandonment of Alice is decided, Ade used the privilege of the shareholder to buy Alice and carry it on Heathersley as an auxiliary operating system. The Fin Funnels and drones that Ade could not operate independently were authorized to Alice. 0 When he bought Alice, he didn¡¯t think that Alice could make up for his lack of ability in Fin Funnels. He just felt that such a consciousness that she was forced to be born, to learn to fight, and finally to be destroyed due to human willfulness was too sad. What drove him to buy her was just arrogant self satisfaction. In fact, he can¡¯t even tell whether Alice is self-conscious or not. 0 ¡°Ade, what do you want to hear today?¡± 0 More than ten song lists are unfolding in front of him, all of which are songs only known by Ade. It took nearly a year for Ade to recreate all the music he remembered in his last life. Animation, games, TV dramas and pop songs, as long as he remembered, he bought people to reproduce them. However, all of them were commissioned anonymously, and none of them was published ¨C he didn¡¯t want to copy songs to make money, but it just made him feel secure. 0 Ade randomly chose a song list called pure music, and the slightly Sentimental Piano Music reverberated in the cockpit through surround sound. Ade closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly leaned on the seat. The last song he saw was ¡°Unspeakable Missing¡±. Which game episode is this? He can¡¯t remember. 0 The vast hangar is empty, and the silent cockpit is filled with the sound of piano and breathing. 0 ¡°Ade, I can¡¯t find this song on the Internet.¡± 0 ¡°Yes, because I didn¡¯t publish it.¡± 0 ¡°Did Ade write that? Can Ade compose music?¡± 0 ¡°No, I copied it.¡± 0 ¡°Why can¡¯t I find it on the Internet?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, why¡­¡± 0 Alice didn¡¯t ask. There was only music in the cockpit. She¡¯s changed a tune, and it¡¯s still a slightly sad piano song. He doesn¡¯t remember the source of this. Ade opened his eyes and looked at the title of the song, ¡°Silent Winter Night¡± ¨C I still can¡¯t remember it. Forget it, it¡¯s not important. 0 ¡°Ade, I don¡¯t like these songs.¡± 0 ¡°After listening to so many songs, can Alice enjoy music at last?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s just that the consciousness module will have a negative reaction after receiving the information of these songs. Ade, is this a sad emotion?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not an AI expert. Sorry, I can¡¯t give you an answer.¡± 0 ¡°Oh¡­ It¡¯s okay, Ade. Don¡¯t apologize. ¡± In the voice of electronic synthesis, somehow he heard the tone of disappointment. 0 But it was right to buy you at that time. This is probably the most correct decision since I came here? 0 ¡°Ade, when can I fight?¡± 0 ¡°Do you want to fight?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m a combat aid AI. I can help Ade operate Fin Funnels and drones. I want to help Ade. If I go on like this, I feel like I¡¯m going to become a music player. ¡° 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t it great to be a music player? Just playing the music, you¡¯ve helped me a lot. ¡° 0 ¡°Really, Ade?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s true, of course.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Ade. I¡¯m happy to be able to help Ade. ¡° 0 Ade didn¡¯t answer. After another song, he still doesn¡¯t remember the source. Ade didn¡¯t bother to read the title of the song. He just listened to the piano music quietly. 0 ¡°Alice, it¡¯s time for me to go back.¡± 0 ¡°Is Ade going back so early today?¡± 0 ¡°There is a guest at home. If I don¡¯t go back, she should be angry.¡± 0 ¡°Well, there¡¯s no way, Ade.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alice. By the way, I may not be able to come here these days. ¡° 0 ¡°Is it because of the guest?¡± 0 ¡°Yes.¡± 0 ¡°How long will it take?¡± 0 ¡°About a week.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Alice? Why don¡¯t you talk?¡± 0 ¡°Is the guest Miss Lacus?¡± 0 ¡°No. Why do you ask all of a sudden?¡± 0 ¡°Because Ade has said several times that Miss Lacus has a good voice.¡± 0 ¡®There¡¯s no logic between the two, Alice. ¡® 0 ¡°¡­that¡¯s right. I¡¯ll check the logic module when Ade is not around. I¡¯ll also check the sound module, and ¡ª ¡° 0 ¡°Alice, are you all right? Shall I stay with you a little longer?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I¡¯m fine, Ade. Go home. I¡¯ll wait for Ade to come back. Goodbye, Ade. ¡° 0 ¡°¡­ Goodbye. ¡° 0 Inle¡¯s cockpit door opens, a figure comes out, and the door closes again. 0 There was no sound in the cockpit. 0 CH 7 Chapter 7: Witch and Paramecium (Break) 0 By the time Ade got home, it was almost eight o¡¯clock, and the sky was dark, leaving only the artificial light sources on the roadside. Now it¡¯s the first half of the moon, and the man-made giant screen is covering the top of the head, so he can¡¯t see the real star sky. 0 A day and night on the moon is about 29.5 Earth days. That is to say, if the earth is taken as the reference frame, there will be 15 days of day and 15 days of night in each month. In order to match the body¡¯s biological clock and create a 24-hour day, Anaheim built an artificial giant screen covering the whole city above the lunar city. In the first half of each month, the real sun filtered by the giant screen in the daytime, and the giant screen is completely closed at night. In the second half of each month, on the contrary, during the day, the giant screen is turned off and replaced by the artificial light source. At night, the giant screen is turned on so that moon people can see the real starry sky. 0 Ade prefers the second half of the month. Even if the whole universe is different, looking up at the stars can still make his heart feel quiet. 0 Artificial day and night, like artificial gravity, are technologies that Ade can¡¯t understand at all. It¡¯s said that they make great use of the black technology discovered by Queen Diana. But where do these black technologies come from? There must be a reasonable explanation. 0 Ade opened the door, the porch was dark, and the voice of people talking came from the direction of the living room. 0 ¡°You should know how cold the enemy is, don¡¯t you?¡± 0 ¡°But even if we take revenge, we won¡¯t survive.¡± 0 ¡°It seems that you and I have nothing to say.¡± 0 When Ade went to the living room, it was C.C. who was watching TV and didn¡¯t turn on the light. Ade turns on the light, and the sudden strong light makes C.C. who has adapted to the dark shrink. What is on TV is a TV play that he hasn¡¯t seen. All the actors are beautiful and eye-catching. C.C. wearing a shirt turned out from Ade¡¯s wardrobe, holding the large Haro pillow from last year¡¯s shopping lottery, sit on the sofa and stare at the TV attentively. The bottom of the clothes is also very eye-catching. 0 Ade sat on the sofa and watched it for a while. Then he realized that it was the latest hottest TV series ¡°MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE 08TH MS TEAM¡±. Because it wasn¡¯t animation, he didn¡¯t recognize it. He heard people talk about it in the afternoon. It seems that today is the grand finale? In the picture, the evil villain drives a round MA with the size of a hill and begins to bombard wildly. 0 ¡°Such a big Mobile Armour is bullshit.¡± Ade make complaints about it. ¡°This screenwriter has no scientific knowledge at all.¡± 0 ¡°Be quiet.¡± 0 Ade left his mouth open and did not make complaints. As the plot progresses, the pictures on TV and the animation in his memory gradually coincide. For a moment, Ade thinks that he is sitting in his original home. But it was just a moment¡¯s illusion, and he soon woke up. 0 It wasn¡¯t long before the story came to an end. The hero and heroine drove a broken MS to the mountain like mobile armour¡¯s main gun, and the MA crashed to the top of the mountain after shooting the last cannon. In the cry of a group of actors, the sad song at the end of the film rings out. By the way, the actress who plays the role Aina is very good-looking. I¡¯ll search for her on the Internet later. 0 ¡°Unacceptable.¡± C. C. squeezing Haro¡¯s pillow, trying to show anger, ¡°It¡¯s unacceptable! Do you still have blades at home?¡± 0 ¡°Maybe there are Easter Eggs? It¡¯s not too late to make a decision after the song finished. ¡± Although Ade has seen the animated version, it is two things after all. It can¡¯t guarantee that the ending is exactly the same. ¡°Are your personal settings falling apart in recent years? It¡¯s totally different from when we first met. ¡° 0 ¡°I haven¡¯t changed at all, or rather, my change has stopped completely long ago. What¡¯s changing is how familiar we are and what you know about me. ¡± C. C. turned her head and looked at Ade seriously, ¡°Or did you have any preconceived ideas about me before you knew me?¡± 0 Ade pretends not to understand the question, gets up and walks to the restaurant. There¡¯s half of the take out pizza on the table. It¡¯s cold. This is probably dinner for myself? Not even good than my nutrition. As Ade put the pizza in the microwave, he muttered to himself. 0 Since the signing of the contract, on the first day of Anaheim¡¯s shareholders¡¯ meeting every year, C.C. will fly to the moon, stay in his home for about a week, and then leave, nominally ¡°concerned about the growth of the contractor¡±. After understanding the astronomical number of shares transferred by C.C. to him, Ade can not protest against any behavior of C.C. Like the dangerous conversation just now has repeated many times, and Ade has always felt that C.C. has noticed something. She just didn¡¯t say it out 0 Five minutes later, Ade was still eating pizza, and C.C. sat down at the table with Haro¡¯s pillow in her arms. She was in a good mood. It seems that the TV series version has a happy ending? If the TV is not turned off, Ade can hear the sound of advertisements coming from the living room. 0 ¡°What¡¯s going on with your Geass?¡± 0 Ade swallowed his last mouthful of food and drank again, ¡°No, I still don¡¯t know what the Geass is for.¡± 0 ¡°Geass¡¯s ability is closely related to the inner desire of the contractor. Your situation is very special, and I don¡¯t know what it will be.¡± After so many years of no progress, C.C. is also very distressed. If you don¡¯t know the ability, you can¡¯t use it. If you don¡¯t use it, you can¡¯t upgrade it. ¡°Maybe your ability is non-ability? It¡¯s suitable for Paramecium, isn¡¯t it?¡± 0 Ade is speechless, because he thinks what C.C. said is reasonable. 0 ¡°I¡¯ll investigate when I get back to earth.¡± C.C.¡¯s voice is getting smaller and smaller. ¡°If it goes on like this, I¡¯m afraid I can only go to Tokyo¡­¡± 0 ¡°Why Tokyo?¡± Suddenly a familiar place-name appeared. Does Tokyo have anything to do with Geass? Ade vaguely remembers that there is an island has something to do with Geass, but the island can¡¯t be in Tokyo. Tokyo, such a place should have been investigated for a long time. It can never be left as the last option by C.C. That means¡­¡± 0 ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the magic conch?¡± 0 Ade stands up and stares at C.C.¡¯s eyes. The cup on the table is hit by his hand and makes a clang sound due to his big action. 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t this the sentence you used? Why is the response so big?¡± After waiting for about ten seconds, C.C. broke the silence and raised her mouth slightly. ¡°Is it a meme of an anime I haven¡¯t seen? Or is there a reason why I should never know this sentence?¡± 0 Ade froze for a while, bent down to pick up the cup, and quietly sat back. 0 ¡°There will be a meeting tomorrow. Let¡¯s have a rest early. I¡¯ll go back to my room.¡± C.C. chuckles, gets up and walks to Ade¡¯s parents¡¯ room, which was occupied several years ago by her. Open the door, C.C. suddenly turned around, ¡°By the way, you can¡¯t attack at night this year.¡± 0 ¡°Is it necessary to say it once a year? I would not do such a thing. ¡° 0 ¡°You just peeped at my thigh many times, didn¡¯t you? Although I dress up like this to show my acquiescence in your behavior, it doesn¡¯t mean that we are close enough to exchange body fluids. ¡± C.C. watching Ade¡¯s blushed face and felt a little happy, ¡°Good night.¡± 0 With a snap, the door was closed. 0 At first, Ade felt very tired when dealing with C.C. He had to be careful not to say anything when he makes complaints about C.C.¡¯s behaviors. Over the past few years, although they only stayed together about a week each year, Ade has gradually got used to the rhythm of C.C. Since last year, he has simply been dumb to all kinds of her temptations. The ¡°magic conch¡± just now should be a new routine developed this year, right? In a few days, I¡¯ll probably get used to this. 0 As the night went by, Ade got up to wash and found that C.C. was already preparing breakfast. After cleaning up, Ade goes to the dining table and opens the News Assistant. 0 ¡°Plant infighting! Mr. Aznable has publicly criticized the idea of President Clyne¡¯s administration, and the Earth Federation is afraid to be the biggest winner? ¡± Ade glances at the terminal. There¡¯s a picture. It¡¯s Char. It¡¯s estimated that the media are taking things out of context again. Ade doesn¡¯t believe that Char¡¯s political wisdom will let him do such a thing. 0 ¡°Award for the most outstanding person on the moon! Who will be the winner this year? Top 10 candidates! Exclusive in-depth analysis! ¡° 0 C.C., sitting opposite, craned her neck and looked at the terminal, ¡°Your name is on the top. Don¡¯t you think of a way to operate it?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m going to operate it today.¡± Ade drank the milk leisurely. ¡°Queen Diana has the final say about the winner. There is no more effective way to please Prince Roland.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s a mean trick. It¡¯s unfair to the other candidates.¡± 0 Ade smiles and continues to listen to the news. 0 ¡°Shocked! Netizens take photos of a dragon! Is it counterfeiting or subverting science?¡± 0 ¡°How did it make the headlines?¡± Ade felt shocked. Did the News Assistant¡¯s algorithm have to be changed again? ¡°A dragon? Do you think everyone is a fool?¡± 0 ¡°How can you be sure there are no dragons in the world?¡± C. C. reaching for the terminal, she opened the detailed information and looked very interested. ¡°After contacting the supernatural power of Geass, do you still believe in your common sense? Or is there something else that constrains your perception and makes you think that Geass is reasonable and the dragon is unreasonable?¡± 0 ¡°Even Geass has a principle that seems to be reasonable. Isn¡¯t dragon a pure fantasy creature?¡± Ade didn¡¯t understand why C.C. was interested in this kind of news. ¡°If the dragon really existed, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised to see EVA or BETA someday.¡± 0 C. C. looks up at Ade deeply and doesn¡¯t speak. 0 ¡°I¡¯m finished. I¡¯ll go first.¡± 0 ¡°Hair.¡± 0 ¡°Well?¡± 0 ¡°The hair is up.¡± C. C. continued to look down at the news, and pointed to his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to win the favor of Prince Roland? At least make the image better. ¡° 0 ¡­ 0 Ade came first and sat alone in the largest conference room of Anaheim Headquarters. 0 This is Anaheim¡¯s real headquarters, located in one of the most central parts of the city. This building does not have any research or production functions, but is purely an administrative building. This meeting room is the fixed place for the annual general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors. 0 With the exception of Prince Roland, who represents Queen Diana in full power, and Ade himself, who lives on the moon, almost all shareholders attend the meeting remotely. Generally speaking, a shareholder will go to the moon to hold a meeting in person only when he wants to make friends with the lunar power for some reason. 0 For example, last year, plant¡¯s Neutron Jammer Canceller was successfully developed. Siegel Clyne wanted to jointly develop nuclear power MS with Anaheim in secret. He came to the meeting in person. At that time, Ade also took this opportunity to get on the line with Clyne. After giving many promises to the other party, such as ¡°the father of Gundam presided over the architecture design¡± and ¡°a new system that only coordinator can operate freely¡±. In addition, he pretended to be a loyal fan of his daughter, signed a confidentiality agreement, donated money to plant, and so on. Finally, he successfully got a small Neutron Jammer Canceller. Of course, the moon¡¯s detached status and absolute security is also an important bonus item. Ade can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants in negotiations. 0 This year, it should be only myself and Prince Roland here, right? 0 The door of the conference room was pushed open. Ade stood up reflexively and was about to greet him when he saw a middle-aged man with blonde hair coming in. The man was dressed in a dark blue suit. He looked about forty years old. He had a short beard above his lips and a clean beard on his chin. He looked smart and capable. He quickly looked around the conference room and found Ade standing. With a warm smile on his face, he came quickly. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, long time no see.¡± The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand. 0 ¡°Long time no see, Mr. Clyne.¡± Ade shook hands with him. I didn¡¯t expect to see you personally again this year. Is there anything else?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ve brought you some special products of plant.¡± With that, Clyne takes a flat square box from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and hands it to Ade. The box is the size of a palm, and the package is so exquisite that he can¡¯t see what¡¯s inside. 0 ¡°Thank you, you¡¯re welcome.¡± It shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, but now is not the time to see the gift. Ade catches the box and is ready to put it away. 0 ¡°After all, your excellency, Prince Roland has not arrived yet.¡± Clyne approached and his voice was very low. ¡°After the meeting, I want to invite Dr. Adrien to lunch. Is it convenient for you?¡± 0 MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE 08TH MS TEAM CH 8 Chapter 8: Dr. Lingus Denounces Shareholders 0 The meeting has already started. Prince Roland sitting in the chair is reading last year¡¯s annual summary report. Ade is still thinking about what happened just now, a little absent-minded. For Clyne¡¯s invitation, Ade didn¡¯t think much and agreed. Just about to ask for details, Roland arrived. They didn¡¯t have time to talk more. Although he has a certain reputation, as C.C. said, he is just an ¡°ordinary gifted scientist¡±. As a leader of a country, what¡¯s the significance for Clyne to talk to him alone? Is there something wrong with the deal of the Neutron Jammer Canceller? 0 ¡°- to sum up, Anaheim delivered a satisfactory answer to all shareholders last year. So let¡¯s start talking about this year. ¡± Mr. Roland began to get down to business. ¡°As usual, the shareholders¡¯ representatives on the board of directors are elected first. I nominate myself. Does anyone have a different opinion?¡± 0 Roland¡¯s eyes swept over Ade and Clyne in the conference room and everyone in the video call, with a shy smile on his face. But no one in this room will forget that this man had done in the Earth Moon war. Probably no one in the solar system can compare with him in terms of massacre. 0 Roland and Diana¡¯s experience is quite legendary, and there are many mysteries about them, but Ade is most curious about their age. Generally speaking, Roland is at least at the same age as Clyne and Zabi. However, looking at the young man who seem to be no more than a few years older than himself, Ade can¡¯t connect this person with a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s. 0 There are various speculations about this. Some people say that Queen Diana and Prince Roland usually stay in the freezer and come out only when they have activities. However, according to Ade¡¯s observation, although Queen Diana seldom appears, Roland appears frequently on the moon, which makes the freezing theory not very tenable. Some people say that they have found anti-aging technology and take it as their own. Although this statement can¡¯t be confirmed, there are some supporters. But if such technology is monopolized by them, the leadership of the moon can¡¯t be so monolithic for so many years. Ade once asked C.C. about this question, and the reply was ¡°maybe there is something similar to code on the moon?¡±. 0 ¡°Since there is no objection, let¡¯s move on to the next issue.¡± Of course, there is no disagreement in the conference room. With 51% absolute control, the general meeting of shareholders is basically a speech location for Roland. All others can do is to give opinions. ¡°Do you have any comments and suggestions on the focus of next year¡¯s work?¡± 0 ¡°With the gradual recovery of the postwar economy, the purchasing power of ordinary people is becoming stronger and stronger now.¡± It was a man with a sinister appearance. ¡°Assuming that there will be no war in the near future, I personally think that the focus of development can be shifted from the military industry to the entertainment sector. Last year, our company didn¡¯t make much progress in the field of smartphones and game consoles. ¡° 0 Ade remembers that this is Cardeas Vist, the boss of Vist consortium, and one of Anaheim¡¯s earliest investors. Does he mean to cut down Ade¡¯s own funds? But of course, Ade will not immediately object. He is now a shareholder, not the director of MS Research Institute. He should stand in the overall interests of the company. Naturally, there are representatives of military interests sitting here. Ade is waiting for someone to jump out to block the gun. 0 ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit inappropriate for me to say that,¡± the one who jumped out was an old man. ¡°But on the federal side, the demand for arms, especially MS, is still very large.¡± 0 ¡°Brigadier general Hymem, are you speaking as a federal general or as a shareholder?¡± If Ade had just jumped out, he would have been attacked like this by Vist. 0 ¡°Of course, the interests of the company come first. Are you doubting my character, Vist President?¡± This old man is called Jamitoy Hymem, originally a brigadier general of the Federation army. With superb political skills and solid military contacts, he quickly climbed to the position of federal finance minister and became the spokesperson of the army¡¯s interests in the Federation. However, it is not clear whose interests he represented in Anaheim. It is rumored that he is engaged in a small elite group in the army, whose members are highly coincident with the members of Blue Cosmos. In short, he is a hidden radical. ¡°Although the white paper of this year¡¯s budget of the federal government has not been published, I just made a reasonable judgment as a shareholder without violating the principle.¡± 0 ¡°Since the budget has not been announced, I¡¯m afraid the rationality of your judgment remains to be discussed.¡± Vist is a bit reluctant. Ade suddenly remembered a piece of news he saw last month, saying that the Vist consortium may increase its investment in the military industry. Is it possible that he does not want Anaheim to rob his business? 0 ¡°As an honest government official, I will not divulge the federal financial plan.¡± This man whose name is Alejandro Corner, is the current foreign minister of the Earth Federation. He has visited the moon many times and seems to be a member of his own group. ¡°But as an individual, I support minister Hymem¡¯s view. It¡¯s better to say that we can expect corresponding returns if we continue to increase the investment in MS.¡± 0 ¡°Prince Schneizel, as an official who also serves in the federal government, what do you think?¡± Roland cast an inquiring look at a handsome young man. 0 ¡°Your Majesty, I always strictly abide by the government¡¯s confidentiality regulations.¡± Schneizel, as the second prince of Britannia, only has a casual job in the Federation, and generally does not participate in Anaheim¡¯s decision-making. ¡°But the budget of our country has been announced last month, and I believe the market is big enough for everyone to eat.¡± 0 These people are really interesting. In a few words, they have exposed the federal plan to sharply increase military spending this year. Sure enough, Clyne¡¯s emotion is very bad, because he is the hypothetical enemy of the Federation. 0 ¡°There is no pressure on the production capacity of the Research Institute.¡± now is the time for Ade to make a speech and complete the last part of the argument. ¡°Judging from my personal professional level, properly undertaking more business will not affect the normal operation of our MS Department.¡± 0 Of course, he will not tell them that the Gundam test pilot has not yet recruited. 0 ¡°I remember that the research and development of the Z-Gundam series are not over yet.¡± In the video, Vist looks at Ade, ¡°Is it really appropriate to say that there is no pressure at all in this situation, Dr. Lingus?¡± 0 ¡°The design of the most complex deformable framework has been completed, and only the step-by-step real machine debugging is left behind. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a problem to add more burden to the Research Institute.¡± Of course, there are several technical difficulties waiting to be overcome, but can the consortium boss understand this? ¡°Or are you questioning my professionalism? ¡° 0 ¡°Is the deformable skeleton finished so soon? Dr. Adrien?¡± Roland was obviously very happy to hear the news and gave Ade a big smile. ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re the only one of the shareholders involved in Anaheim¡¯s actual production. We can take this opportunity to talk about some problems and difficulties that others can¡¯t see.¡± 0 Roland¡¯s shift to Ade is actually the final conclusion of the topic just now. Vist has lost the right to pursue. 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I just need your help.¡± How sweet of you, Prince Roland! The more he looks at him, the more agreeable he felt. He has a good personality, strong ability and good looks. It¡¯s rumored on the Internet that Prince Roland¡¯s beauty is not inferior to that of Queen Diana. Is it true? ¡°It¡¯s about the study of telepathy. If I can get a New Type¡¯s personal cooperation, it will speed up a lot of progress. It¡¯s not easy to carry out some work just by text communication.¡± 0 Ade is very euphemistic, but it is a signal to put forward in this situation. Roland¡¯s reaction is not important. Jamitov Hymem can understand it. This is for the earth¡¯s military. 0 ¡°Of course, the telepathic skeleton is very important, which is also the requirement of the Federation itself.¡± Hymem really lived up to Ade¡¯s expectations, ¡°But the pressure is not only from within the army. It¡¯s not easy to let Captain Ray go to the moon. Dr. Lingus, do you understand what I mean?¡± 0 ¡°I certainly understand that there are differences within the Federation in the treatment of New Type.¡± Ade put forward the statement that he had considered for a long time last night, ¡°But whether it¡¯s positive or negative treatment, do you want to get more New Types, or don¡¯t want to have more New Types? It¡¯s not a self boast, but with the technical level of my Research Institute, it is not difficult to produce a New Type research report convincing the Federation. ¡° 0 ¡°Ha ha, it¡¯s very convincing from Dr. Lingus.¡± Hymem was somewhat moved, but now is not the time to make a decision. ¡°I will discuss this matter with the military headquarters when I go back.¡± 0 If a person of Hymem¡¯s level say that, half of the problem has been solved. 0 Roland gives ade a positive look. I¡¯ve got the favor. It¡¯s worth the trip today. 0 When Ade was promoted to deputy director, he received an unconventional interview from Queen Diana and Prince Roland. At that time, Roland appreciated Ade. After becoming a shareholder, he gets an extra chance to get Roland¡¯s favor every year, and Ade never wastes it. Today¡¯s temporary plan is a complete success. Ade thinks he can start thinking about the prize. 0 Later, they started to discuss some issues that have nothing to do with Ade. Ade just needs to vote for all of Roland¡¯s decisions. There were not many controversial topics left, and the meeting ended soon. After saying goodbye to Roland, Ade is invited to a high-end restaurant by Clyne. It wasn¡¯t until Ade sat down that he remembered that this was the restaurant where he first met C.C. a few years ago. He hopes that the waiters don¡¯t remember what happened, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. Because C.C. said the restaurant was expensive and not delicious, and they would never come here again. 0 ¡°This is the best of the earth beef!¡± Clyne swallows a steak gracefully, and Ade orders the same food as he recommends. ¡°Beef grown under natural gravity has a very different quality and taste from beef grown on satellite. Coupled with the top-level cooking methods, this restaurant is worthy of its name. ¡° 0 Although Ade thought he was talking nonsense, he nodded his head to show agreement. To be honest, with the current level of science and technology, artificial beef and natural beef are hard to distinguish, not to mention the earth beef and satellite beef. Of course, he won¡¯t make complaints at this time. 0 ¡°I remember, doctor, you¡¯re a fan of my daughter.¡± This is the way to talk to people like Clyne. Before they get down to business, they have to go around and talk about the weather today, showing that everyone is very harmonious. ¡°My little girl published a new song several days ago, doctor, do you have time to listen to it?¡± 0 ¡°Of course, Mr. Clyne, I ordered it the first time.¡± In fact, it¡¯s true. There¡¯s no commercial praise, but Clyne doesn¡¯t necessarily think that¡¯s the way it is. ¡°Your daughter¡¯s voice is as beautiful as ever, and the standard of the new song is better than before. The single went round in my office all day!¡± 0 ¡°That would be great.¡± Clyne showed an ambiguous smile. ¡°By the way, did you open the gift before?¡± 0 ¡°Not yet. Thanks for the present. ¡± What about this strange expression? ¡°May you tell me what it is? I¡¯m sure Mr. Clyne¡¯s gift will be great. ¡° 0 ¡°Oh, let¡¯s leave it a surprise to you. Doctor, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll like it. ¡± Clyne changed the subject as if nothing had happened. ¡°May I know your plan for the second half of the year?¡± 0 ¡°There are no plans other than normal research work.¡± 0 ¡°You have been living on the moon for so many years, concentrating on research and working hard.¡± Clyne slowly cuts the steak, making a homely look. ¡°Have you ever thought of taking a vacation, going out for a walk? Maybe it will give you more inspiration?¡± 0 ¡°What do you mean?¡± 0 ¡°I mean,¡± Clyne put down her knife and fork and looked at Ade, ¡°Doctor, are you interested in coming to plant?¡± 0 Cardeas Vist 0 Jamitoy Hymem 0 Prince Schneizel CH 9 Chapter 9: He Changed Plant 0 Siegel Clyne danced on the blade all his life. 0 Planning plant independence with his two friends, taking over the Supreme Council, facing ZAFT¡¯s defeat in the war¡­ every time he was doomed, but every time he has converted the situation. His legendary experience was no less than that of the protagonists in novels. This time, Clyne believes that he can overcome the difficulties as usual, and the key to the situation is the young man in front of him. 0 ¡°Scholars like Dr. Adrien really hate politicians who talk in circles like me.¡± We need to deal with different people in different ways, and for people like Adrien Lingus, getting to the point is far more effective than beating around the bush. ¡°I¡¯ll go straight to the point. In the second half of the year, when the two kinds of things are delivered, I hope to invite you to plant in the name of scientific investigation. ¡° 0 ¡°Why?¡± The young man in front of him showed a puzzled expression. According to the agreement, the two nuclear-powered Gundams commissioned by Anaheim will be equipped with small nuclear fission reactor and Neutron Jammer Canceller, so after the current phase of work, the final assembly and commissioning will be completed in plant, and Dr. Adrien will not participate in the later work. 0 ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve been in a bad situation recently.¡± For a collaborator like Adrien, it¡¯s better to directly explain his situation. Cover up will give him the feeling of being used. ¡°I wonder if you have seen the news this morning? Councillor Azna publicly attacked the speaker¡¯s ruling philosophy.¡± 0 ¡°I did see it in the news.¡± Adrien nodded. ¡°But I thought it was media¡¯s bullshit? As far as I know, it¡¯s not like Mr. Aznab would say that in public. ¡° 0 ¡°It¡¯s true that it¡¯s out of context to some extent, but it¡¯s also true that he and I disagree in some things.¡± Clyne rarely shows a trace of fatigue. ¡°In fact, it¡¯s not just him, Patrick, ah, that is, Mr. Zala, and I have different opinions. As you can guess, he still can¡¯t forget the hatred. Now I¡¯m in a bit of an awkward position. ¡° 0 Char Aznab, as an officer who has been promoted all the way from the One Year War by his outstanding military achievements, quickly entered the Supreme Council with his strong personality charm and part of the political heritage of the Zabi family. This man is ruthless and resourceful. Although he is young, even Clyne can¡¯t see through his character. It would be nice if they are allies, but they had different political views. Aznab is a moderate reformer who is dissatisfied with the current situation of plant. 0 As an old friend for many years, Patrick has some abilities, but he is not stable enough, and is easy to be emotional. Clyne certainly understands the pain of his wife¡¯s death in the One Year War, but now the chance of peaceful development is more important than revenge. But Patrick has always been obsessed with the Bloody Valentine War. It¡¯s not impossible for him to restart the war. In Clyne¡¯s opinion, Creuset, Patrick¡¯s confidant, is not a kind person neither. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, maybe you don¡¯t care much about the Internet. Now there are a lot of discordant voices on the side of plant.¡± Clyne said with a wry smile, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of you making fun of me. Many people on the Internet are spreading my jokes about humiliating my country and selling my daughter.¡± 0 ¡°Well, this is¡­ has the conflict among P.L.A.N.T members intensified to this point?¡± Sure enough, it¡¯s easy to talk to smart people. 0 ¡°In my opinion, I¡¯m afraid so. For plant, the bilateral denuclearization created by neutron jammer is what I think is the best result. The Earth Federation is not monolithic. Britannia has always been a big problem. In addition, the research on nuclear fusion is still far away from processing, and all this can at least strive for a peaceful development period of 50 years for plant. ¡± Clyne has never regarded Adrien as a pure scholar. The speech and insight Adren showed are by no means any young and famous genius scientists can have. ¡°Fifty years later, with the ability of coordinators, it is entirely possible to create peace under the threat of new technology.¡± 0 ¡°What about the famine caused by lack of energy? What about people who starve to death?¡± 0 ¡°The past has happened, and the sudden famine has been effectively solved. It¡¯s hard to say that, but it¡¯s much better to maintain the current situation than to break out an all-out war. ¡° 0 ¡°Mr. Clyne, do you believe that you are the creator of peace?¡± 0 ¡°Coordinators are not aggressors. It is determined by our population, geography and resources.¡± This is Clyne¡¯s core view all the time. ¡°So the best way to achieve peace is to form a unilateral deterrence created by plant. And in order to achieve that, what we need most now is time. ¡° 0 ¡°But war, war has never changed. It¡¯s human nature to fight, and ambitious people like Giren Zabi will always be born. ¡° 0 ¡°Eternal peace is a great achievement of God. I just do what a human can do. This is not only my political appeal, but also my ideal of life. I have been fighting for it for 30 years and have never felt ashamed. ¡° 0 If there is a confrontation between the two powers, the ideal situation is to complete the political marriage to buy time. Both Patrick¡¯s son and Aznab are good partners. However, in such a tripartite situation, no matter which party is approached rashly, it will arouse a strong reaction from the third party, which can only intensify the contradiction more quickly. 0 Whether it¡¯s for himself or for his family, he needs time. Lacus has accumulated much more popularity than him in countless coveted eyes. Fortunately, she has the same ideal and ability to win over himself. Before she grows up and inherits his political heritage, he should stabilize the situation and never fall down. He knew that once he lost his power, everything he had worked hard to build would be gone, and for Lacus, to be a big man¡¯s inamorata would be the happiest luxury. To avoid all this, to buy time, he needs the support of Adrien Lingus. 0 The young man in front of him fell into a long thought and asked, ¡°What does it have to do with inviting me to plant?¡± 0 Yes! I got him! So Siegel Clyne thought. 0 ¡­ 0 Ade¡¯s sense of Lacus is very complex. She¡¯s neither pure white nor pure black. To him, Siegel Clyne is just Lacus¡¯s father. It was not until last year that he made a careful study of this man¡¯s life in order to make a deal with him. Ade has to say that Siegel Clyne was a hero. But Clyne¡¯s speech now makes this person¡¯s image live in his mind. 0 ¡°What does it have to do with inviting me to plant?¡± 0 ¡°Because of the existence of neutron jammer canceller. As I said to you just now, bilateral denuclearization is the ideal situation for me. I firmly oppose this weapon. ¡°The research of neutral jammer canceller is held by Patrick, and I can¡¯t stop him when I find out.¡± 0 ¡°This is the perfect fuse for war, isn¡¯t it?¡± 0 ¡°Exactly. You know what happened to brigadier general Hymem, doctor.¡± Clyne¡¯s fingers crossed on his chest, and his expression became more serious. ¡°Some people in plant and the upper layer of the moon have already known about the existence of neutron jammer canceller, and it¡¯s only a matter of time before its existence reaches the ears of the Federation. At that time, I¡¯m afraid they will take risks, so in order to avoid this, I need ¡ª ¡° 0 ¡°- restraining power to deter the Federation from acting.¡± Ade took the conversation, and he fully understood Clyne¡¯s meaning. ¡°So as the most outstanding person award on the moon, I¡¯m the most suitable person to represent the will of the moon. You need me to visit plant to create an illusion of intimacy between plant and the moon. It¡¯s a good idea. Maybe it can but a few years for you, but how about a few years later?¡± 0 ¡°Over the years, I will try my best to make the Supreme Council have only one voice, to make people believe that we have destroyed all neutron jammer canceller, or,¡± Clyne pauses, ¡°to be ready for war.¡± 0 ¡°I see what you mean,¡± Clyne tells him all the plans. It¡¯s like saying ¡°Can you be used by me?¡± directly to him. It¡¯s hard for Ade to feel bad for such a person. ¡°But if I do that, my position on the moon will be very embarrassing.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, doctor.¡± Clyne began to smile. ¡°All operations are initiated by plant. Externally, it means inviting doctors to do scientific research exchanges. Internally, it means that the two MS still have technical problems that need to be solved by you in the later stage. What you need to do is to nod your head when I ask for your opinion. Even if things come to light later, you are just a naive scholar who is used by a despicable politician and will only be regarded as a victim. ¡° 0 The arrangement was so perfect that Ade couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°What¡¯s the benefit for me?¡± 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t the benefits have been given last year?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Neutron Jammer Canceller.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°I¡¯m glad we¡¯re not enemies. I was still proud of my performance in persuading you last year. ¡° 0 ¡°Your speech last year is indeed praiseworthy, and by no means meaningless.¡± Clyne loosened her crossed hands, picked up the glass and drank, ¡°Without your speech at that time, there would not have been our conversation today. That¡¯s why I choose to be honest with you, doctor, rather than anyone else. ¡° 0 ¡°I agree in principle.¡± Although he knows that Clyne¡¯s words are flattering, Ade can¡¯t help but be happy. This is human nature. ¡°But as you just said, I will only nod my head when you ask, and I won¡¯t do anything extra.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Clyne was obviously very happy. ¡°My little girl will be very happy, too. She always said that she would meet Dr. Adrien.¡± 0 ¡°How could she say such a thing?¡± It¡¯s flattery again. After all, he¡¯s been pretending to be his daughter¡¯s fan in front of him. ¡°It¡¯s different from the image of Miss Lacus in my mind.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯ll know when you see my little girl. I¡¯m telling you the truth.¡± Clyne is now smiling like a kind uncle next door. No one can associate him with a wily politician. ¡°At that time, I¡¯d like to invite you to come to my house.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 C. C. was lying on the sofa watching TV with the Haro pillow in her arms. The content of the program is boring. It¡¯s just playing time. Boredom is not an intolerable thing for her. She has been used to it for a long time. All of a sudden, there was a sound from the porch. It was the sound of opening the door. 0 C. C. sat up and looked in the direction of the entrance. Ade came in. 0 ¡°The meeting lasted so long?¡± 0 ¡°No, it¡¯s as long as usual.¡± Ade throws the bag on the sofa and opens the refrigerator to find something to drink. ¡°Clyne came and invited me to visit plant. I agreed. ¡° 0 ¡°It¡¯s good. You¡¯ve been staying on the moon for too long. It¡¯s time to go out.¡± The bag hit the sofa and a beautifully wrapped gift box slid out of it. C.C. picked it up and shook it. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s a gift from Clyne. He says that it¡¯s specially prepared for me.¡± Ade gave himself a big cup of tea drink, behind him came the sound of tearing the package, ¡°What¡¯s inside?¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the matter? What¡¯s in it?¡± 0 ¡°I see, I see, no wonder¡­ so you like this!¡± 0 Char Azna CH 10 Chapter 10: Lunar Orthopedics 0 Lunar First General Hospital, waiting room. 0 This is the best general hospital on the moon, among which the Department of Neurology and orthopedics are second to none in the whole world. It was here that Ade¡¯s genetic testing was carried out. Originally, he made an appointment with the attending doctor to pick up the physical examination report this afternoon, but his meeting with Clyne resulting in missing the meeting time here. The doctor is receiving other patients, and now he can only wait a little longer. 0 Ade and C.C. are sitting in the corner of the waiting room chatting in a low voice. 0 ¡°Is there anything else to explain?¡± C. C. waved the picture in her hand, ¡°I said that you didn¡¯t behave like a normal adolescent in front of me. Although you may not be psychologically, at least physically? Now I see. It¡¯s the interest here. ¡° 0 This is one of the gifts Clyne gave Ade. There are two things in that beautifully packaged small box. One is the limited collection physical edition of Lacus¡¯ latest single ¡°In the Field of Hope¡±, and the other is the signature photo of Lacus that C.C. now holds. 0 This picture is different from the rest of Lacus¡¯s. Her dress in public has always been conservative, and so have all the videos and pictures she appeared in. In this photo, Lacus is wearing an obviously sexy swimsuit with a sweet smile on her face. Her hands are in the shape of ¡°love¡± in front of her chest. The background looks like a private swimming pool somewhere. As Ade can imagine, this photo should be specially taken for this gift. Behind the photo is Lacus¡¯s autograph, ¡°To Adrien Lingus, looking forward to meeting you. Lacus Clyne¡±¡£ 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t know Clyne would put this in it. Maybe he always thought I was a big fan of his daughter?¡± Ade pulled the photo out of C.C.¡¯s hand. ¡°You¡¯ve been holding it. I haven¡¯t seen it carefully yet.¡± 0 ¡°Who knows if you pretend?¡± C. C. acts like she doesn¡¯t care, ¡°According to my observation, you lock the door occasionally at night. Isn¡¯t this your main ¡®material¡¯? Well, this picture is so suitable for you. You¡¯ll agree to Clyne¡¯s invitation anyway?¡± 0 ¡°Do I look like a man who would be cheated by this trick?¡± Ade looked at the photos on his hands and said, ¡°If I refuse Clyne again, I will only make him dislike me, and it doesn¡¯t hurt to promise him, let alone ¨C¡° 0 ¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to explain.¡± C. C. looks at Ade teasingly, ¡°Do you realize the way you look at the picture now?¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my eyes?¡± Ade silently put the photos in his pocket, ¡°But Clyne really paid a lot for this¡­ I didn¡¯t expect his daughter will cooperate¡­¡± 0 ¡°Paid a lot?¡± C. C. snorted, ¡°For him, it¡¯s almost like paying nothing, isn¡¯t it? Only you think it¡¯s a price. As for his daughter, don¡¯t you know who she is?¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t go on. C. C. is right. He never regarded Lacus as an innocent little girl. Whether it¡¯s her subtle influence for her father when she is engaged in idol activities, or her insistence in dealing with several public relations crises, he can¡¯t connect her with the image of an innocent girl. On the contrary, it¡¯s more appropriate to say that Lacus deserves to be the daughter of speaker Clyne. 0 ¡°It would be nice to see his daughter.¡± C. C. put away the sneer, ¡°The experience of failure is good for people¡¯s growth. In some ways, you are too young.¡± 0 ¡°Nothing has started, but a failed emotional experience has been expected?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ If you¡­ you won¡¯t¡­ ¡° 0 The voice of others came from around. After all, they are in a hospital. Will it be too noisy for others? I¡¯d better pay attention. 0 ¡°¡­ Without you, mom and dad¡­ would not¡­ Your fault¡­ You are the culprit¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Brother, stop it!¡± 0 Is someone talking to me? Ade turns his head to look at the sound source. He sees a young man with black hair and red pupils gnashing his teeth, looking at him with hatred. The young man¡¯s right hand clenched and he looks like he wants to rush up and beat Ade. Sitting in the wheelchair beside him was a lovely young girl, with an expression that she was about to cry. She was holding the corner of the young man¡¯s clothes. 0 The inexplicable picture caused Ade¡¯s brain to go down for about three seconds, and then suddenly he realized something. ¡°Hum?¡± 0 ¡­ 0 Today is the day to bring my sister to the hospital for reexamination. 0 More than four years have passed since the most tragic day in my life. After the initial pain had passed, the only thing in my mind was how to make my sister stand up again. I had no spare power to recall the sadness of losing my parents. My sister has lost so much more than myself. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t want to live if I am her? So at least in front of my sister, I must be optimistic and give her hope to live. 0 It¡¯s not easy to live after losing parents, and people can¡¯t just live. He can¡¯t stand his favorite sister lying in bed all her life, living a life in which she has to be taken care of. The quack doctor of Orb Union said, ¡°We¡¯ve tried our best and there¡¯s nothing we can do. Yes, even the leaders of countries like Orb Union are trash, what excellent doctors can we cultivate? But if it¡¯s on the moon, if it¡¯s the Lunar First General Hospital, there must be a way, right? They can make your sister stand up again.¡± 0 With all his family¡¯s savings and Orb Union¡¯s pension, he took his sister to Copernicus, the capital of the moon. The moon¡¯s orthopedics department is really powerful. After more than four years of treatment, his sister¡¯s legs have gradually regained consciousness. The doctor said that if they continue to insist on treatment, his sister will have the hope to stand up in the next two years. He will never forget that night when he helped his sister with leg rehabilitation as usual, when her sister suddenly said it was itchy, they hugged each other and wept. 0 But the moon is not a place of warmth. The cost of treatment for the younger sister is staggering, and they are not moon people so they cannot enjoy medical insurance. The price of the capital is not cheap, although he has been very economical, his sister must have enough nutrition. And housing is a headache for him, even if they are crowded in a small one-room house, the monthly rent still makes him tremble. Money. He needs money. 0 As a migrant and a teenager without parents¡¯ guarantee, it is difficult for him to find a stable job. After struggling for a long time, he chose to enter the military academy. Only military academies do not pay tuition fees but pay wages. Only when he graduates from the military academy and joins the lunar army can he becomes a moon person. The top few students in each semester can also get high scholarships. After graduation, he can register permanent residence on the moon and enjoy the medical insurance, and his sister can live a happy life at that time. 0 ¡°Brother, I think it¡¯s OK. I¡¯m satisfied. You don¡¯t have to force yourself to go to the military academy.¡± His sister said to him, ¡°In fact, it¡¯s very good. I can stay with my brother all my life ~¡± But these words are of course comforting herself. 0 Fortunately, he not only successfully passed the entrance test of the military academy, but also won the first place every semester. Relying on the salary and scholarship of military students, hs sister¡¯s treatment course finally persisted. Now that he has graduated and will enter the army from next month. Stick to it for another month, and then his sister will be able to get medical insurance. Although the army¡¯s salary is not high, at least it can support them to change a house, let his sister have her own room, right? 0 She is 14 this year, and he is already an adult. They begin to feel embarrassed about some things. After all, they are no longer children. 0 In general, everything is developing in the direction of happiness. He almost forgot what hatred was. Until today, this man appeared in front of him. 0 He remembered that terrible afternoon again. The stumps of his parents, the screams of his sister, and his own tears. The terror robot named Gundam runs, destroys and ravages his life. Is this man the father of Gundam? I will never forget the face I saw on the news. 0 ¡°Without you, there would be no such thing¡­ Without you, mom and dad would not have died¡­ Mayu won¡¯t lose her legs either¡­ ¡± He could not help holding his right hand tightly and walking towards the man, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault¡­ You are the culprit¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Brother, stop it!¡± 0 His sister pulled him behind him. Dazed by anger, he didn¡¯t see the crying expression on his sister¡¯s face. 0 ¡­ 0 Ade soon realized who this person was. But why is Shinn Asuka on the moon? Why is his sister Mayu in a wheelchair? Why does he have a bitter look on his face? By the way, the orthopedics department of this hospital is very famous. Sister Asuka is in a wheelchair. Is brother Asuka here to accompany her to see a doctor? 1 The body in his memory, who lost everything, was driven by hatred, but could not even find the object of revenge was subtly overlapped with the young man in front of him. Looking at the girl in the wheelchair, Ade couldn¡¯t help whispering, ¡°Your sister is crying.¡± 0 As if awakened by some magic words, Asuka suddenly turned around and saw Mayu¡¯s sobbing face. He suddenly realized that he had done the most unforgivable thing in the world. He was as nervous as an adolescent boy who dated a girl for the first time. He didn¡¯t know what to do, ¡°Sorry, Mayu, I¡­ I¡¯m sorry! But He¡­ I¡­¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s OK, brother. Don¡¯t apologize.¡± Mayu couldn¡¯t help but smile when she saw her brother¡¯s appearance. Although the smile was still a little bit reluctant, ¡°It¡¯s just that your appearance was too terrible. Please don¡¯t be like that¡­¡± 0 ¡°But Mayu, you don¡¯t know, this man is ¨C¡° 0 ¡°I know, brother. But he is a big man on the moon. Let¡¯s us go, shall we?¡± Mayu looked at Ade and said, ¡°Mr. Lingus, I¡¯m sorry, my brother didn¡¯t mean to offend you. Please forgive him. Please.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on,¡± C.C. whispered in Ade¡¯s ear, ¡°but you seem to be taken as a villain.¡± 0 Ade suddenly saw the deep memory of ¡°should have¡±. Looking at the brother and sister, he understands they must have suffered a lot, struggled hard, and finally touched the outline of happiness. Uncontrollably, unknowingly, arrogantly, and hypocritically, he feels cured. 0 ¡°Little sister, your name is Mayu, right?¡± Ade ignored C.C. and went straight to them, looking at Shinn Asuka who reflexively blocked in front of his sister, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I don¡¯t hate you. I don¡¯t even know what happened. Can you tell me your name, young man?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Shinn Asuka. This is my sister, Mayu Asuka. ¡° 0 ¡°Shinn and Mayu, right?¡± Ade tried his best to smile out of his kindness. ¡°Shinn, I don¡¯t know what hatred you have for me, but I hope to have a good chat with you. After all, this is a hospital, not a place to talk. Let¡¯s change to a quiet place. Is your examination over?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ It¡¯s over. ¡° 0 ¡°Can you wait for me? I¡¯ll be fine soon. I¡¯m just here to get the medical report. ¡° 0 ¡°That¡­¡± The other party¡¯s sudden kindness really made him feel at a loss. Shinn Asuka subconsciously looked at his sister, ¡°Mayu?¡± 0 ¡°Trust him, brother.¡± Mayu is calmer than her brother. ¡°I don¡¯t think Mr. Lingus looks like a bad guy.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s settled. Let¡¯s go to my house later.¡± Ade left them and turned back to his seat. 0 ¡°You look abnormal today.¡± C. C. looking at him thoughtfully, ¡°It¡¯s not like something you would do. Why did you invite them directly to your home? If I remember right, it¡¯s the first time you¡¯ve brought guests home. Have you taken a fancy to the girl?¡± 0 ¡°I just¡­¡± Ade found that his poor vocabulary can not find the right language to describe the feeling at the moment, ¡°just suddenly feel like doing something¡­¡± 0 Shinn Asuka CH 11 Chapter 11: Verbal Fire 0 ¡°¡­ Then, my brother will join the army next month. ¡± Shinn was sitting on the sofa of Ade¡¯s house, and Mayu holds her brother¡¯s hand in a wheelchair. 0 ¡°It¡¯s not easy for you,¡± Mayu stated their situation to Ade. Is this a coincidence of the world, or a butterfly effect? If it is the latter, it is a very gratifying thing, ¡°Is it for the household registration and salary to choose the military academy?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t pretend to be a good man here. What can a big man like you know?¡± 0 ¡°Brother!¡± Mayu squeezed her brother¡¯s hand, trying to calm him down, ¡°Don¡¯t do that. Mr. Lingus has no malice towards us. And I don¡¯t think that mom and dad¡¯s death is Mr. Lingus¡¯ fault. ¡° 0 ¡°If there were no such person, there would be no Gundam, neither would mom and dad die, nor would you ¨C¡° 0 ¡°Brother!¡± 0 ¡°But¡­¡± Shinn looked at Mayu with a complicated face and didn¡¯t know what to say. 0 ¡°Mr. Lingus, I don¡¯t know the reason, but thank you for your kindness.¡± Mayu turned to Ade and said, ¡°please forgive my brother. To bear my medical expenses and living expenses, my brother has been struggling for so many years. He is really a good person. He¡¯s just temporarily blinded by impulse. Please don¡¯t blame him.¡± 0 Mayu¡¯s maturity is heartbreaking. She¡¯s only fourteen, isn¡¯t she? Losing her parents, losing her legs, she had to lay in bed all day and depended on her only brother. Although her brother works hard and is gentle, he is a little impulsive. In this case, she can only make herself mature. 0 Mayu has been apologizing instead of Shinn, but Ade sees a lot in her firm eyes. It¡¯s hard for him to have any bad feelings towards such Mayu, or even Shinn. 0 He remembers that ¡°a long time ago¡±, he hated ¡°that Shinn¡± in the anime, who was retarded and impulsive, who went against the protagonist and looked like a righteous person. Later, he understood Shinn. For him who lost his parents, no one taught him how to think. He had nothing left but revenge. In the end, even the legitimacy of revenge and even the object of revenge were deprived. He didn¡¯t know what else to do except hysteria. In the ¡°final ending¡±, Kira smiles and shakes hands with him, which is too cruel to him. 0 And in this world, he has been forced out of breath by the pressure of life. He is just a child, but he has to raise his disabled sister and grow up alone. He even loses the right to be sad and angry. Without the guidance of their parents and just struggling for the sake of life, his spiritual growth may have stopped for a long time. Although he is 18 years old in appearance, he is still 14 years old in the heart. This deviation between physical age and spiritual age is the reason why he is hysterical in front of himself now. His inexplicable anger is just to find a vent object for his miserable and incomprehensible life. 0 ¡°Mayu, I¡¯m about the same age as your brother. Just call me by my name and don¡¯t use honorifics.¡± Ade had a good feeling for Mayu. 0 ¡°That ¡­¡­ Adrien-san.¡± Mayu uneasily looked to C.C., and after seeing the other party¡¯s indifferent expression, she timidly shouted. 0 ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Ade smiled at Mayu and turned aside to the teenager, ¡°Shinn, I can neither understand nor relate to your feelings of hatred. Do you really think it was me who killed your parents? Without me, there will still be someone else to create the white devil; without the white devil, Orb Union will still become a battlefield. You are free to hate me, but I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not the right person to take revenge.¡± 0 ¡°Do you think you can take yourself clean off like that?¡± Shinn took his sister¡¯s hand in return, ¡°Mayu, don¡¯t let his appearance fool you, he¡¯s an evil warmonger and that¡¯s never going to change.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m self-conscious about the fact that I make weapons, and I won¡¯t deny that these weapons will bring a lot of death, but I¡¯ve never felt like an evil warmonger.¡± Ade was a little surprised that Shinn thought of the word ¡°warmonger¡± on his own. The school was not likely to teach such things, ¡°The moon has always remained neutral and Anaheim has never incited hatred or conflict. I don¡¯t deny that Anaheim has made a fortune off of war, but it¡¯s not us who started it. If you knew what those arms dealers on Earth have done to promote their products, you would be glad that as the largest arms dealer, Anaheim is so lucky to have Queen Deanna as the leader.¡± 0 ¡°Are you trying to say it¡¯s all the fault of the Federation and ZAFT?¡± 0 ¡°ZAFT invaded Orb Union in order to seize its arsenal and Mass Driver, and the Federation would send reinforcements to stop ZAFT¡¯s strategic objectives; both sides were just doing what was rightfully done in the war. Captain Amuro Ray, who piloted the White Devil ¨C oh, he was just an ensign at the time ¨C just obeyed the army¡¯s orders. If you had stayed on the moon, you might have had a chance to meet him.¡± 0 ¡°Then why start a war? Why can¡¯t everyone live in peace?¡± It seems that there are not many cultural lessons in the military school. Shinn¡¯s worldview is still stuck at the junior high school level. 0 ¡°Race, religion, interests¡­ I can give you as many reasons as you want. The struggle is a biological instinct. Human beings have fought from the stone age to the universe century. Even if one day, human beings have colonized the whole galaxy, believe me, there will still be wars. ¡° 0 ¡°In that case¡­ in that case¡­ doesn¡¯t it mean¡­¡± Shinn looked at Ade with an unacceptable expression, ¡°doesn¡¯t it mean that mom and dad die because of bad luck? It¡¯s all because of our bad luck that this happened?¡± 0 ¡°Brother¡­¡± 0 ¡°This kind of thing¡­ this kind of thing¡­¡± Shinn buried his face helplessly into Mayu¡¯s chest, ¡°Mayu¡­ I should¡­ whom should I hate?¡­¡± 0 Mayu did not say anything, just tenderly hold Shinn¡¯s head, gently stroking his hair. 0 Ade just watched them quietly. After a while, Shinn looked up in embarrassment, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Adrien, I understand. Humans are such incorrigible creatures. Society and the universe are inherently dark. I was too naive in the past to see this truth.¡± 0 ¡°You don¡¯t understand anything.¡± Ade watched speechlessly at Shinn. He understands Shinn. Although Shinn was forced to bear the burden of other people¡¯s lives at a young age, his mental age was just that of a child, and it was perfectly normal for a child to think in the wrong way. ¡°So what? The nature of human beings is greedy dirty and evil dark, and you despair of human beings? Do you want to take revenge on society and destroy all of humanity or assimilate yourself into a great demon king?¡± 0 ¡°I¡­¡± 0 ¡°You think you understand humans? Then tell me, how did this incorrigible, self-destructive vermin survive into the cosmic century? How come they didn¡¯t kill each other in the Middle Ages? Were all the people who sacrificed themselves for the well-being of their fellow human beings in history conspirators with ulterior motives? Or were they just fools who didn¡¯t see things as well as you do?¡± 0 ¡°History is written by the victors. Love, courage, and hope are just literary works made up to paralyze the world. They don¡¯t exist.¡± Shinn has given up the debate and entered the stage of ¡°I do not listen! I do not listen!¡± Ade is very familiar with this. Not to mention the middle-aged children, many adults will also unconsciously enter this stage when they were defeated in the debate. 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t the relationship between you and Mayu love? Don¡¯t you know the courage to fight alone with your sister¡¯s life? Isn¡¯t it hope that you have to work hard to make up for the sad past?¡± After the destruction of the wrong worldview, people need to rebuild a positive and upward one, ¡°Is it fine to deny all the good qualities since the birth of human beings?¡± 0 ¡°I, I don¡¯t know ¡­¡± The effect seemed to be unexpectedly good. Shinn gradually calmed down, ¡°Mr. Adrien, please tell me the answer. This question is too complicated for me to understand ¡­¡± 0 ¡°How can you possibly understand when you¡¯re only so young? I can¡¯t tell you the answer to that question, and no one is qualified to tell you. Not Queen Deanna, not the PLANT Speaker, not the Federation President, not Confucius, not Kant, not Marx. If you don¡¯t understand, go study, study history, study philosophy, study politics. Even if you can¡¯t find the answer for the rest of your life, but it¡¯s good to understand a little more. At least today, you understand that you actually do not understand. This is also progress, right?¡± 0 Shinn was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Adrien.¡± Mayu looked at her brother with relief and followed with a slight bow. 0 Well, although from the results, his purpose is achieved, isn¡¯t this change a little too fast? He just made a random talk, is it really that useful? 0 ¡°By the way, Shinn.¡± Ade suddenly remembered, ¡°The salary of the army is not high, it¡¯s quite difficult to support Mayu, right?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s already much higher than before, there¡¯s always a way.¡± 0 ¡°Did you have a course related to MS operation in military school?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, MS Theory and Practice. Speaking of which, Mr. Adrien appears in the textbook, too.¡± 0 ¡°What about your grades?¡± 0 ¡°Well,¡± Shinn scratched his head a little embarrassed, ¡°My grades are usually perfect scores.¡± 0 ¡°Very well. Would you be interested in coming to Anaheim as an MS tester? The pay is good.¡± 0 ¡°But I¡¯ve already signed an agreement with the Army ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Is there a problem with asking the army for an unenlisted recruit in my position?¡± 0 ¡°But my ID card-¡° 0 ¡°Anaheim is in charge of solving it. What else is the problem?¡± 0 ¡­ 0 After making a promise to report to Anaheim the next week, the Asuka siblings took their leave. 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t your behavior a bit against your persona?¡± C.C. looked at the person in front of her for a long time and felt a pang of strangeness, ¡°And I noticed that it¡¯s not the sister you¡¯re interested in, but the brother. Could it be that your like to Lacus is just a cover-up and you¡¯re actually a gay?¡± 0 ¡°C.C., I don¡¯t get it, why did he suddenly figure it out?¡± Ade wasn¡¯t in the mood to joke right now. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what you did?¡± C. C. takes it for granted, ¡°A child has finally corrected his wrong worldview under the guidance of an adult. He and his beloved sister are walking towards the future with courage and hope. What¡¯s wrong?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t he changing too fast?¡± Ade wanted to express more than that, but he could only say this to C.C., ¡°If another villain comes out and fools around, will he change back again?¡± 0 ¡°The odds are no.¡± C.C. didn¡¯t understand what Ade was dwelling on at all, ¡°He¡¯s figured out, hasn¡¯t he? He knows what¡¯s really important to him.¡± 0 ¡°No, I mean ¡­¡± in an irritable mood, he couldn¡¯t explain it and was desperate for Alice to be around at the moment, ¡°¨C sorry. A little urgent, I need to go out for a while.¡± 0 C.C. looked at Ade with a stunned expression as he left her to go out alone. 0 Every minute of the short thirty-minute journey was torture until he entered Inle¡¯s cockpit, where he sat down in the driver¡¯s seat with a sense of relief. 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t Ade going to be with a guest today?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I just want to talk to you all of a sudden. ¡± There¡¯s a lot less irritability. 0 ¡°Really, Ade?¡± the pitch was a little high and the volume a little loud, perhaps showing the emotion of surprise, ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s play the music first.¡± 0 You are really turning into a music player! He thought it and felt a little happier. The familiar environment was inexplicably relaxing. He selected a song list called Minority and the piano sound of ¡°Lear Earth¡± rang out in the cockpit. 0 ¡°Alice.¡± He closed his eyes, as if he was intoxicated by the music, also as if he was talking to himself, ¡°I took in a little brother with my persuasion today.¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, Ade, I don¡¯t quite understand¡­¡± 0 ¡°But there¡¯s no sense of accomplishment at all, rather somehow mixed emotions.¡± The sound of violin joined in. 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°Is it a bad taste of teaching bad children? No, it¡¯s not quite right. Is it self-loathing for the past myself? That¡¯s not quite right either.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°Nah, Alice. Don¡¯t you think that a person who would be fooled by words like love, courage, or hope is childish and pathetic?¡± Asked Ade, listening to the prelude somehow suddenly became intense. 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ade. I understand the definition of these words, but I can¡¯t understand them¡­. ¡° 0 ¡°Is it? Why do I feel a little envious¡­¡± 0 ¥·¥ó¡¤¥¢¥¹¥«, Shinn Asuka, or Shin Asuka. Both ¡°Shinn¡± and ¡°Shin¡± are right. But I will use ¡°Shinn¡± from now on. CH 12 Chapter 12: It¡¯s Not Good to Smash the Flowers and Plants 0 During the lunch break, Ade lay on the big sofa in the office with his eyes closed. 0 Too many things had happened last week, making him a little mentally exhausted. Probably because of his own somewhat anticlimactic behavior, C.C. was particularly silent over the weekend, but it was just as well to give himself a good rest. 0 The military agreed to allow Shinn to be his MS tester, for which he did a special favor for the military. But overall it was worth it. Not to mention the future value of Shinn, but also it makes him think things clearly. The problem of Shinn¡¯s ID card is also solved. With the help of ¡°the big man above¡±, civil servants only spent less than an hour to turn the Asuka siblings¡¯ identities into the moon people. 0 Now he can finally return to his original rhythm and focus on his work. 0 The testing department worked overtime last week to finish the skeleton model of Zeta Gundam and is conducting functional tests. If there are no major problems, they can start the performance tests next week. Although Zata Gundam was designed by him, to be honest, Ade didn¡¯t like it very much. For no other reason than it was too complicated to maintain. The bureaucrats and generals who mentioned the demand certainly do not understand the technology. They just brainstormed on the sandbox: Damn, a Gundam that can transform into a plane? That will be invincible! I don¡¯t care! I want it to turn into a plane! 0 Of course, Ade has no problem with their needs, after all, his job is to solve the problem, not to mention the successful design of this set of deformable skeletons brought him a lot of sense of accomplishment. As for the after-sales service is also clearly marked. As long as the customer is willing to pay, everything is good. 0 In terms of Ade¡¯s aesthetics, an expandable universal interface and a variety of external plug-ins with different functions are the ideal structure in his mind, which is the reason he chose Inle. That said, now that Inle has little room for improvement for the time being. Oh, should I consider doing something new? A new Gundam, no need to be as large as Inle, but it has to have strong mobility. Well ¡­ 0 Time always flies in thinking. And by the afternoon, Ade suddenly remembered that today, Shinn would come for an interview. Although it¡¯s already booked, the process must still go. Not to mention that he also wanted to see Shinn¡¯s real driving level. After inquiring where Shinn was, he went straight to the interview site. The big screen in the room showed a special RGM-79GM who was doing all kinds of difficult tactical moves in the universe. 0 ¡°Hello, Director!¡± The colleague in charge of the interview was a man in his early thirties, and when he saw Ade, he hurried out to greet him. 0 ¡°Hmm.¡± But awkwardly, Ade did not remember his name, and could only pretend to nod calmly in response, ¡°I heard that a new applicant comes today, how is the situation?¡± 0 ¡°The written test results are very good, and the driving test is underway.¡± The person in charge reported while flipping through the electronic screen in his hand, ¡°All twenty gravity maneuvers are completed, and the other twenty gravity-free maneuvers are already at halfway. It looks like he¡¯s possible to complete them all.¡± 0 ¡°After the maneuvers are done, it¡¯s time for the final simulation, right?¡± Ade looked sideways at the list on the electronic screen, ¡°I¡¯ll be his opponent in the combat practice.¡± 0 ¡°Director, you want to test him personally?¡± The man had an incredulous look on his face. 0 ¡°It¡¯s been quite a while since the last time I did combat practice.¡± Ade smiled at the starry sky on the screen, ¡°I¡¯m a little itchy.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 In the vacuum, the two special RGM-79GMs painted red and blue respectively were floating quietly at a safe distance, and the long-lost gravity-free environment made Ade feel excited in the cockpit. After overcoming the human instinctive slight panic emotion about weightlessness, the sense of freedom and relief brought by this zero gravity would give people the illusion that they could do whatever they want. 0 ¡°Too bad Alice isn¡¯t here, or she could play some background music.¡± Ade browsed the local hard drive of RGM-79GM, ¡°This RGM-79GM really doesn¡¯t have a music player, I shouldn¡¯t have expected that.¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Shinn Asuka, the last test is a real machine combat practice, the test time is two minutes. Your opponent is the red RGM-79GM,¡± a young female voice rang out in the public channel, ¡°The weapons used are limited to one beam rifle and one beam saber, both for low power training and cannot break through the body armor. The system will stop the corresponding function when it detects theoretical damage. Weapon batteries are not replaceable, please both pilots check the weapon power and battery condition. The test will start in three minutes.¡± 0 Ade used the last time to carefully do the body self-test. After all, the old driver also has a rollover time, it¡¯s no harm to be careful. Usually, such things are done by Alice, now without Alice, everything can only be done by himself. 0 The time is only two minutes. Although the MS is equipped with a shield, the pilot can not hold up the shield all the time to avoid fighting. This is also a test of the pilot¡¯s subjective initiative. 0 ¡°Countdown starts. Five, four, three, two, one, go.¡± 0 The blue RGM-79GM on the other side was the first to fire a test shot, and Ade evaded while firing back cautiously. The blue RGM-79GM skillfully took advantage of Ade¡¯s evasion to gradually close in on this side, and the distance between the two sides narrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ade also wanted to test his opponent¡¯s strength and did not pull away. 0 The distance between the two sides gradually closed to less than three hundred meters. The blue RGM-79GM decisively dropped the beam rifle and replaced it with a saber, raising the shield and charging fiercely towards the red RGM-79GM. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t throw your weapons around, it¡¯s troublesome when the staff picks them back.¡± The moment the other side raised the shield, Ade had understood his intention. He steadily raised the rifle in place, pulled out the beam saber, and began to accelerate. 0 His acceleration prevented the opponent from gaining the expected speed advantage. The impact between the beam saber and the hull came as expected, and the reaction force was honestly reacted to Ade through the shock absorption module of the hull. The blue RGM-79GM quickly adjusted its stance and controlled the angle of the jets to launch a continuous attack. 0 Shinn is confident in hand-to-hand combat, and Ade did not find a breakthrough in the battle. Shinn is as well aware as Ade of the flaw of the 1.5 second turn time of the special RGM-79GM, and every time he strikes and retreats, he fine-tunes the position of the hull along the arc trajectory. The training shields were soon broken and tossed aside by both sides. 0 Ade glanced at the countdown and there was less than a minute remaining. There was no significant difference between their close combat skills, or more accurately, the performance of the machine bodies limited the gap between the two sides. This competition will probably end in a draw. Ade thought, controlled the nozzle of the machine body, and used the change in position of the two sides to guide the other side to shift the battlefield. 0 He patiently fine-tuned the positions of the two sides to hide his intentions. As time passed by, with twelve seconds remaining, the same thing behind the blue RGM-79GM came into view. Ade violently increased the thrusters¡¯ output, sprinting in the air, and the other side panned out of the way as expected. In the moment of intersecting with the blue RGM-79GM¡¯s body position, Ade began to slow down and turn around. 1.5 seconds later, Ade steadily picked up the beam rifle floating in front of him and aimed at the blue RGM-79GM¡¯s cockpit, which was turning less than a hundred meters in front of him. 0 It was now. Biu¡ª 0 ¡°Test is over.¡± A voice rang out again on the public channel, ¡°Blue RGM-79GM¡¯s cockpit has taken a direct hit and lost combat capability. Please both pilots return.¡± 0 Ade moodily parked the RGM-79GM back to the hangar and left the cockpit to drift in the direction of the gravity zone, with Shinn following behind slowly with a listless look. In the locker room, Ade takes off his helmet ¨C 0 ¡°Hum?¡± Shinn rubbed his eyes, ¡°Adrien-san?¡± 0 ¡°Well done.¡± Ade patted his shoulder, ¡°You did well.¡± 0 ¡°Ah, thank you, Mr. Adrien.¡± Shinn looked a little embarrassing, ¡°I didn¡¯t know Adrien-san was such a great pilot.¡± 0 ¡°There are many things you don¡¯t know, so take your time to learn.¡± Ade showed a smile, ¡°According to your performance today, there may be a very interesting machine for you to drive.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 At the same moment, the hangar of Inle. 0 C.C. was fumbling around outside the cockpit, trying to find a way to open it manually. Although this was Ade¡¯s hangar, C.C. had apparently been granted all the permissions as well. Before today, she had never been interested in Ade¡¯s big toys and hardly ever came around. 0 But not anymore. 0 ¡°It¡¯s hidden really well.¡± C.C. finally found the manual switch for the cockpit, and the hatch slowly opened. Stepping inside the cockpit, the electronic light screens around it lit up in an instant, each displaying a large red cross, clearly and unambiguously telling the visitor that the system was locked. 0 ¡°Facial recognition mismatch, please state the boot password.¡± An icy electronic synthesized voice sounded. 0 Automatic recognition plus the boot password was indeed Ade¡¯s style. But I don¡¯t know the password. Well, let me guess it first, ¡°C.C.¡± 0 ¡°Wrong password.¡± 0 ¡°Tsk.¡± C.C. made a very obvious smacking sound, and the atmosphere became awkward. She then guessed a password she didn¡¯t want to be the correct answer, ¡°Lacus Clyne.¡± 0 ¡°Wrong password. Password has been entered incorrectly in succession, entering password recovery procedure. Please answer the recovery question.¡± C.C. was relieved to know the password was wrong, ¡°Security question: what is Peppa Pig¡¯s brother¡¯s name?¡± 0 C.C. didn¡¯t know the answer, and didn¡¯t even have the desire to take out her phone and search the Internet, because she knew it must be ¡°knowledge that only he knows¡±. Judging from the question style, it is full of bad taste for those who can understand it, and how pitiful the person is who prepares such things in a place where they will almost never be found? 0 And C.C. is almost certain that he prepared not just a question but a bank of questions, ¡°I don¡¯t know, requesting a question replacement.¡± 0 ¡°Question replacement. Who is the best friend of Tinky, Dipsy, and Laa-Laa?¡± 0 She knew there was a Lalah during the One Year War, but it certainly wasn¡¯t this one in the question, ¡°I don¡¯t know, requesting a different question.¡± 0 ¡°Question replacement. What is the thing that can answer all of SpongeBob¡¯s and Patrick Star¡¯s questions?¡± 0 ¡°No¨C¡± Wait! I think I¡¯ve heard these two names before. The answer is, ¡°The magic conch?¡± 0 ¡°Answered correctly, congratulations on gaining the right to operate the music player.¡± With a beep, among countless panels, only one panel unlocked. C.C. looked at it. It was really the music player. I was tricked! Password retrieval is completely meaningless. This person is simply¡­! But so the system¡¯s start-up is not controlled by the password at all, then her guess is most likely correct. 0 ¡°A.I. Alice, you¡¯re here, right?!¡± C.C. shouted into the air, ¡°We need to talk.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°I am C.C., Adrien Lingus¡¯ cohabitant. We need to talk about his mental condition.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Hello, Miss C.C.¡± 0 RGM-79 CH 13 Chapter 13: The Back Side of the Story 0 After yesterday¡¯s interview, Shinn Asuka has been officially hired as a test pilot at the MS Institute in Anaheim and starts work today. Due to his good performance in the interview, he was booked as a test pilot for Zeta Gundam, and he needs to read through the mountains of relevant technical documents before the first prototype of Zeta is completed. After this, Ade did not pay much attention to him. Although Shinn¡¯s worldview is not very mature, he had struggled in the community for so many years, he should be able to adapt to the new work environment. 0 But last night C.C.¡¯s performance was quite strange. She had been silent last weekend, and then suddenly returned to normal yesterday. But Ade did not care much, because she was always so mysterious. He was browsing the progress of the two nuclear power machines jointly developed with PLANT. 0 When Ade saw the picture of Lacus in the drawer this morning, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not cared about those two machines for a long time. Now that he has received the ¡°benefit¡± from Clyne, it is reasonable to pay more attention to them. As for the photo, C.C. didn¡¯t seem to like the photo sent by Clyne, so Ade brought it to the office. 0 Ade is actually of little interest to the two new machines, because there is really nothing new in its structure technology. Whether it¡¯s the D.R.A.G.O.O.N System (Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network System) or the backpack, all of them are ready-made technology. even the METEOR (Mobile suit Embedded Tactical EnfORcer) system that Ade blew up in the PPT, is only modified from RX-78 GP03D¡¯s Dendrobium. The two machines are basically the results of the existing technologies¡¯ patchwork. 0 Of course, their performance is really as good as Ade boasted, but it is difficult to arouse his interest. In contrast, Zeta¡¯s deformable skeleton, as a brand new subject, is more challenging for him. So after designing the architecture of these two machines, he threw the detailed implementation completely to other researchers and never cared about it again. 0 Regarding the naming of these two machines, Ade did not do any intervention, but magically they were still named Justice and Freedom. On this point, he had asked Clyne for advice. 0 ¡°Such naming is something I object to, it simply incites antagonism between Coordinators and natural people. Even if it exists, such superiority should never be shown.¡± Clyne told him so at the time, ¡°But Councilor Aznable insisted, and Patrick was extremely favorable to Aznable¡¯s claims, and I had no influence in ZAFT.¡± 0 Ade never thought that the names of Justice and Freedom would be proposed by Char. When he thinks about Char¡¯s way of running things, is this really his political advocacy or is it just a slogan he is shouting in order to get some people¡¯s good feeling? 0 In addition, Clyne¡¯s claim that he has no influence in the ZAFT army is absolute nonsense. The amount of money that passes through his hands every year as PLANT¡¯s equity agent in Anaheim is hard to calculate, which is more than enough to build a private arsenal on any unknown satellite. 0 Not to mention his deal of Anti-Neutron Jammer with Ade is a completely private deal. When he smuggled this important weapon out of the country without a word, Ade was dumbfounded. If such a person has no influence in the army, well, Ade can only show an awkward but polite smile, saying, ¡°Yes, yes, I believe it.¡± 0 As Ade rambled on, he flipped through the development progress of Justice and Freedom. It seemed that the two machines were progressing as smoothly as he had envisioned, and it wouldn¡¯t be long before they were ready to be handed over to PLANT. The technical leader of the two machines did a good job. I remember that he has not been promoted for a long time? Oh, I should consider giving him a salary increase! 0 The videophone on the table suddenly rang, and Ade smoothly pressed the answer button. 0 ¡°Good morning, Director,¡± it was Odebi from downstairs, ¡°Minister Jamitov Hymem of the Earth Federation called for you and is waiting.¡± 0 ¡°Patch me through.¡± The screen shifted and an older man appeared on the screen, ¡°Good morning, Brigadier Hymem. Oh no, by your time zone, it should be a good afternoon, right?¡± 0 ¡°Good morning, Dr. Lingus.¡± Hymem didn¡¯t seem interested in discussing time zones with Ade, ¡°You should have an idea in your mind about the reason I am contacting you, right?¡± 0 ¡°Does it mean that the discussion has already come to a conclusion?¡± This is only a few days after last week¡¯s meeting, ¡°Brigadier Hymem, I must say that you have turned my opinion of the efficiency of the Federation upside down, it seems I have been somewhat biased against the Federation in the past.¡± 0 ¡°Then continue with that bias, Doctor, there is a difference between the military headquarters and the punk bureaucrats of the Federal Government.¡± Hymem didn¡¯t hide his disdain for the federal government in the slightest, even if he himself was the current Secretary of Finance, ¡°Captain Ray is a solider, his disposition is purely a military internal matter, and the federal government has no authority to interfere.¡± 0 ¡°Does it mean good news?¡± 0 ¡°At 8:00 a.m. lunar time next Monday, Captain Amuro Ray will arrive at Copernicus Cosport on time aboard the flagship of the Earth Federation Cosmic Army¡¯s 13th Fleet, Arkama, and will be under the sole supervision of Lieutenant Bright Noa. Captain Amuro Ray will return aboard the same battleship next Friday at 8:00 p.m. Lunar time.¡± 0 Wait, there¡¯s too much information, I need to think of them one by one. 0 The 13th Fleet of the Cosmic Army, the flagship of Akama, Lieutenant Bright Noa, well, the world is messed up enough. Ade is completely immune to this level of petty problems nowadays. Then came the most critical, ¡°Brigadier Hymem, if I heard correctly, there are less than five days?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, the military will lend Captain Ray a total of one hundred and eight hours exactly.¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t that too short a time?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t one hundred and eight hours more than enough for a genius like Dr. Lingus?¡± Hymem¡¯s face looked serious, ¡°This is the unanimous conclusion reached by the entire military hierarchy after careful consultation, one hundred and eight hours is the maximum time limit we can accept. Dr. Lingus, I am now informing you of the military¡¯s final decision, not bargaining with you.¡± 0 Although this man¡¯s speech was offensive, Ade was too lazy to argue with him now. Since it was already a final decision, there was no point in continuing to dwell on it, so he went straight to the next question, ¡°It¡¯s just sending a person, is it necessary to convoy him with the flagship of the 13th fleet?¡± 0 ¡°I thought Dr. Lingus as a researcher could understand it.¡± 0 ¡°That means to your side, the value of Captain Ray, or rather, the loss of Captain Ray, is no less than a battleship ¡­ ¡°It seems that the Federation values New Type far more than he once thought. He thought they were not paying enough attention by keeping Amuro in a cage, but now it seems that they just don¡¯t know how to deal with Amuro so they have to lock him up first. ¡°But if you send out a warship, it will involve the Lunar military, right?¡± 0 ¡°Do not worry about this, doctor. I will personally deal with General Ghingham. In addition, protecting Captain Ray¡¯s safety will be considered the highest priority for the entire trip.¡± Hymem glanced out of the screen as if someone had entered the room he was in, ¡°This guideline will be firmly implemented on the moon as well, please understand it, Dr. Lingus.¡± 0 In other words, all of Amuro¡¯s activities on the Moon will be closely monitored by the Federation fleet, ¡°Although it may cause some inconvenience, on behalf of Anaheim, I understand the military¡¯s approach.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you very much, Doctor, for your understanding. That¡¯s all I have to convey, and my secretary will send you the details by email later. Doctor, I hope you will deliver a satisfactory answer by then.¡± 0 ¡°Then, please look forward to it. Goodbye.¡± 0 ¡°Bye.¡± Hymem hung up the video call, looked at the man who seemed to appear out of thin air in the room, opened the desk drawer, and picked up the pistol inside. 0 ¡°Hello again, Jamitov Hymem.¡± The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, wearing a well-made green suit, with long, well-kept blond hair and a gentle smile on his handsome face, as if he had everything in hand. ¡°Finally spared to let your rare pet out of his cage?¡± 0 ¡°How did you get in?¡± Hymem slowly moved his pistol under the table in front of him, holding it with both hands in a ready stance to raise it. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a stupid and boring thing to ask the same question that won¡¯t get a reply every time?¡± The man was at the other end of the room. His elbows casually propped up on the cabinet beside him, with no intention of getting closer. ¡°Although sharing a room with a lousy old man practically makes me sick to my stomach, I¡¯m sorry to say that I haven¡¯t found a better collaborator in the current Federation.¡± 0 ¡°Collaborator?¡± Hymem let out a sneer, ¡°A collaborator who won¡¯t even reveal his name?¡± 0 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what my name is, what matters is that you handled the information I gave you in a way that was very much in my interest. In other words, we work well together.¡± The man fished out a data disk from his suit pocket and placed it on the cabinet at hand, ¡°This time, the content in the data disk is more explosive, and an old man like you had better be mentally prepared. It contains news of something you can only dream of.¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± 0 ¡°Neutron Jammer Canceller.¡± The man looked at Hymem with pleasure as Hymem drew a backward breath, ¡°There are three of them, one on the moon in Anaheim and two in PLANT¡¯s Nuclear Power Research Center.¡± 0 ¡°There is no way to get the one on the moon, but PLANT¡¯s Nuclear Power Research Center ¡­¡± Hymem¡¯s sharp eyes locked on the man in front of him, ¡°You want ZAFT and the Federation to go to war directly?¡± 0 ¡°What you want to do is your business, I have no interest in interfering.¡± The man seemed to be completely unaware of the pressure from Hymem, still looking relaxed and comfortable, ¡°By the way, it won¡¯t be long before the two Neutron Jammer Cancellers of PLANT be equipped to two Gundams. You see, what a great opportunity. There is no need to start a war.¡± 0 There was too much information for Hymem to digest, and he could only respond in silence. 0 ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say, the details are here.¡± The man pointed to the data disk he had just put down, ¡°Goodbye then.¡± 0 Then as if he had never appeared, the man disappeared out of thin air. Although this was not the first time he had seen such a thing, Hymem still couldn¡¯t believe it. 0 As a senior member of the Earth Federation government and military, he did know some ¡°truths¡± that the general public did not know, such as Britannia, such as Mischief. But even for him, what this man did was still an overturning of common sense. It can¡¯t be explained by ¡°blindfold¡± or ¡°special powers¡±. And the information he gives each time is also completely unexplainable by mere spy means. But the hateful thing is that the information he gives every time is too delicious for Hymem to refuse, like this one in front of him. 0 Hymem put the pistol back in the drawer and let out a long breath. He got up and slowly walked to where the data disk was. His hands trembling slightly from nervousness or excitement. 0 ¡°Neutron Jammer Canceller ¡­¡± CH 14 Chapter 14: Parting Is for a Better Reunion 0 ¡°Are you sure you want to take this back to Earth? Can¡¯t you just go back and buy another one?¡± Looking at C.C., who was struggling to stuff the Haro pillow into the suitcase, Ade just couldn¡¯t help but ask. 0 ¡°Every pillow is different. I wanted to take it away last year but I forgot.¡± C.C. pressed hard on the top lid of the suitcase, but couldn¡¯t tuck the pillow in. She dropped her arm and sighed helplessly, ¡°What are you looking at? Is this not the time for you as a male to contribute?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not the pillow, it¡¯s your clothes are too much. ¡± Ade went up to make a strong pressure on the suitcase, ¡°I wanted to ask before, do you have to change a set of clothes every day?¡± 0 ¡°People who ask this kind of question can¡¯t find girlfriends. ¡°C.C. hugged her arms leisurely watching Ade finally closed the suitcase, ¡°Very good. Let¡¯s go. ¡° 0 Today is Saturday, the day C.C. should return to Earth. She bought a ticket for nine o¡¯clock in the evening, but now it¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock, and C.C. has only just packed her luggage. After years of living together, Ade has long learned to give up discussing everything related to time with C.C. He silently picked up the suitcase and headed for the door, with C.C. following behind with both hands empty. 0 ¡°It¡¯s almost time to part, won¡¯t you say something?¡±In the car, C.C. accosted Ade from the passenger seat. 0 ¡°I have to concentrate on driving or you¡¯ll be late. ¡± Ade kept an eye on the road conditions shown by the navigator so as not to run into traffic, ¡°Whose fault do you think it is?¡± 0 ¡°We only see each other once a year, just like the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. You are too cold.¡± C.C.¡¯s cold voice didn¡¯t contain any enthusiasm, ¡°At least you should show a bit of reluctance.¡± 0 ¡°Unlike the cowherd and the weaver girl, our relationship is not intimate enough to engage in the act of exchanging bodily fluids.¡± 0 ¡°You still remember it? Are you expressing displeasure or are you implying something?¡± C.C. looked at Ade playfully, ¡°And when the cowherd and the weaver girl met, there took their children with them, and there was no room for them to exchange bodily fluids.¡± 0 ¡°No more bullshit, here we are.¡± 0 Fortunately, there are not too many people now. Ade quickly found a parking space. After parking the car, he got out of the car to take out the suitcase, with C.C. quickly walk towards the ticket gate. After the ticketing, there is still a security check, and after the security check, there is still a short walk from the platform, so there is really no time for bullshit. When he reached the ticket gate, he handed the suitcase to C.C., ¡°That¡¯s it, call me if you need anything. See you next year. ¡° 0 ¡°Well, I¡¯ll contact you if I need anything. Bye. ¡°Seeing C.C. enter the waiting room, Ade also turned around and went back to the parking lot. Although he said C.C. could contact him through the phone, the two actually never spoke or texted on the phone when they were apart, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement. 0 By the time Ade drove back home, it was a quarter past nine. He looked at the empty living room and inexplicably felt a little cold. She should be in the universe by now, right? 0 There was nothing he wanted to do in the evening, so Ade washed up early and went to bed, picked up the book on the bedside table and read it. 0 At 10:30, he suddenly heard the SMS message alert. He picked up the phone and looked at it. The sender is C.C.. The text shown on the screen is, ¡°Ship hijacked. Britannia. Help. ¡° 0 It took him three seconds to comprehend the literal meaning, and his thoughts, which were calm as water, were ignited in less than a second. He sprang out of bed, changing clothes as fast as he could while turning on the news. C.C. had been flying between the earth and the moon every year without a care in the world, so he had always thought she was free. Now Britannia is trying to catch her even at the cost of hijacking a civilian spaceship? What the hell are they thinking?! Are they idiots?! 0 There was no news of any spaceship being hijacked. C.C. was on a large passenger spaceship. If it was hijacked, there is no way that the news didn¡¯t report it. Then there are only two possibilities: the other side took control of the communication equipment in the first place, or the other side used Minovsky particles to block communication. Since C.C. could send him the message, it means the former. The other side must have a strong armed force on the spaceship. C.C. is probably being pursued and can not call him in this situation. 0 ¡°Hide. I¡¯m coming. ¡± ¨C Sending failed. 0 Damn it! I guessed wrong. They used Minovsky particles! They must deploy at least one warship so that the particle concentration could even block the communication signals. C.C.¡¯s first text message must be sent before the particle concentration rose. Ade grabbed the car key on the table and ran out the door, while picking up his phone and starting to call. 0 At the same moment, in the power room on the passenger spaceship, C.C. put down the phone helplessly with a big ¡°sending failed¡± shown on the screen. 0 The power room was empty except for her, so quiet that she could hear her own rapid breathing. The room was not illuminated, only the phone screen glowed dimly in the darkness, and C.C. was floating with her back against the cold wall, hugging her knees, and her long green hair spreading in all directions. 0 She noticed something was wrong in the first place and fled the gravity zone, heading straight for the gravity-free core of the spaceship. She was almost discovered several times along the way, until now she is hiding in the power room. Because of the inconvenient long skirt, she fell many times in the gravity zone, and her clothes were scratched. C.C. breathed and thought at random: if I knew it, I wouldn¡¯t wear the skirt today. 0 The thugs were all masked and speaking the international language, but C.C., who had lived in Britannia for many years, instantly heard the other party¡¯s Britannia accent. Hijacking a civilian spaceship and spreading the Minovsky particles¡­ was it an instruction from the old emperor himself, or an arbitrary action of one of the princes? 0 In any case, she could not do anything. The other side had taken control of the whole spaceship, and it was only a matter of time before this place was discovered. C.C. can only pray that Ade sees this text message and is willing to take action. 0 ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m acting like a princess in a high tower waiting for a prince to rescue me. ¡± she made a sound that only she could hear, ¡°How ironic. ¡° 0 ¡°Yes! Now! Immediately! ¡± Ade called while parking, ¡°I¡¯ll submit the written application later, it¡¯s a little emergency on my side. Yes, please, yes, yes, thanks a lot! ¡° 0 Yes! He finally got the flight permit! Ade checked the spaceship¡¯s itinerary, and found that the spaceship was exactly in a place where it had left the lunar surveillance area and hadn¡¯t entered the atmosphere. He did not have the evidence in hand to ask for help from the police, and by the time the police found the abnormality of the spaceship, C.C. would have long been killed. Now, he could only try to save her on his own. 0 ¡°Alice! ¡± There was no one in the hangar but himself, and Hyzenthlays¡¯ hatch opened in response to the sound. 0 ¡°Ade?¡± What came out was surprisingly not a synthetic electronic voice but a nice girly voice.¡± How did you get here?¡± 0 ¡°Alice, your voice?¡±Ade spoke while taking out the spare pilot¡¯s suit in the cockpit and began to change in place, while the changed clothes were shoved back into the place where the pilot¡¯s suit was hidden before. 0 ¡°About that, Ade, I upgraded my voice module and am now able to speak more like a human.¡± Alice¡¯s new voice was ethereal. ¡°The vocal line was adjusted by myself with reference to Miss Lacus¡¯s voice and Miss C.C.¡¯s voice.¡± 0 ¡°How do you know C.C.? Forget it, You can explain it later. ¡°Now Ade is full of C.C. in his head and has no time to dwell on this issue with Alice, ¡°Access hangar management system and prepare to strike!¡± 0 ¡°Ade, what¡¯s happening?¡± 0 ¡°You know C.C., so I will put it in short.¡± Changing clothes and putting on his helmet, Ade sat down in the cockpit seat, ¡°Alice, the passenger spaceship C.C. was on has been hijacked, we are now going to rescue her. The enemy is Britannia and they have at least one battleship, most likely with plural Mobile Suits. Take all the equipment, you can finally put on a good show today, Miss Music Player. Let¡¯s get started. ¡° 0 ¡°Yes! ¡± Alice¡¯s new voice was surprisingly happy, and the fully automated strike program was then activated, ¡°Complete the connection with the hangar management system. Complete the self-check program of Hyzenthlays. The hangar is clear. Start to discharge the air. The air is discharged. The hangar begins to deploy. ¡° 0 With a loud rumbling sound, the entire hangar ceiling opened from the middle, and the diffuse starlight spilled directly in. Ade looked at the end of the starry sky and took deep breaths, adjusting his slightly tense emotions. C.C. was smart and she must be able to hold on for a good while. With Inle¡¯s speed, he must be able to save her in time. 0 ¡°Complete the check of the Fission furnace, Complete the check of the Neutron Jammer Canceller. Minovsky floating system activated.¡± As if losing the last gravity, Hyzenthlays flew up at Alice¡¯s voice. ¡°Start assembling Ferber.¡± 0 Hyzenthlays flew at an even speed underneath Ferber, which was actually an ammunition depot, and the two machines docked and merged with startling accuracy, ¡°Complete the assembly of Ferber. Begin self-inspection. Complete the check of the Physical ammunition depot. Complete the check of the Beam weapon battery. Complete the check of the weapon system. Complete the check of drones. Transfer the control of the D.R.A.G.O.O.N System. Complete the self-inspection of Ferber. Assembly of TR-4 Dandelion begins. ¡° 0 Hyzenthlays flew steadily above Dandelion, with the lower part of the hull embedded in Dandelion, and the parts began to ring together, ¡°Complete the assembly of Dandelion. Begin self-check. Complete the check of the power furnace. Complete the check of the thrusters. Complete the check of the solar sail. Complete Dandelion¡¯s self-check. Start the overall self-check of Inle. Complete all self-check progresses. Ade, we can go now! ¡° 0 ¡°Thanks, Alice. I forgot to tell you that your new voice is very nice.¡± Ade piloted Inle out of the hangar and flew low to the outskirts. ¡°This is Adrien Lingus, calling Lunar Flight Control Center for MS flight clearance. ¡° 0 ¡°This is Lunar Flight Control Center, Dr. Lingus, your request for flight clearance has been approved ten minutes ago.¡± 0 ¡°Well, Alice, ready?¡± TR-4 Dandelion¡¯s thrusters were ignited, the pale blue flame stream impacted the surface of the moon with a roar, and the black body looked hideous and elegant under the starlight, ¡°This is our first battle, right?¡± 0 ¡°No problem, Ade, everything is ready!¡± 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s begin! Adrien Lingus, TR-6 Inle, launch out!¡± CH 15 Chapter 15: No Reward for First Kill 0 Inle¡¯s huge body advanced at high speed in the vacuum, its pitch-black fuselage almost merging with the background color of the universe. The cockpit was silent, each breath under Ade¡¯s helmet inciting anxiety. 0 Ade was wondering if he was too impulsive to drive Inle out this time, simply not in line with his personal style. Due to the presence of Moonlight Butterfly, he himself had no sense of crisis on the moon. But it¡¯s different when he went out alone. People die when they are killed, this truth doesn¡¯t need to be taught. 0 But what else could he do? Watch C.C. being taken captive and turn around and try to find another way after running away? Having known her for so many years, Ade just can¡¯t do this. Although he had reported the ship hijacking to the lunar government, he couldn¡¯t rely everything on them and do nothing. Now there are only Alice and him. 0 Ade continuously breathed deeply for moderate tension helps to focus attention. He has a clear understanding of his own level. With Inle and Alice, he has the confidence to fight no matter who it is. Even if he is no match for the enemies, with TR-4 Dandelion¡¯s speed, it¡¯s not a problem to run away. 0 ¡°Detected high concentration of Minovsky particle reaction at the edge of the radar. At our speed, expect to encounter the enemy in thirty seconds.¡± Alice¡¯s voice snapped him out of his thoughts, ¡°Ade, your heart rate and body temperature are a little slightly elevated, want to put on some music to relax?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re too dutiful a music player.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯m a little nervous. Let me see.¡± 0 The enemy is Britannia, crap, there is no music from ¡°CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion¡±. Ade flipped through his song list and discovered his major mistake. Forget it, since I¡¯m driving a Gundam, this one would be fine. He played ¡°SALLY¡± and set it to a single cycle. Listening to the song, the slightly aggressive rhythm naturally regulated his mood, and the familiar tune gave him a feeling that he was on the home turf. 0 It felt good. 0 ¡°Ade, the enemy will enter our sight in ten seconds.¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded a little nervous, ¡°Five, four, three, two, one!¡± 0 As Alice said, the huge passenger spaceship appeared in Ade¡¯s sight. Five Zaku¢òs floated around the spaceship on guard. Even in the face of the unarmed civilian spaceship, the five Zaku¢òs still maintained a squad formation to look out for each other, indicating that they were well-trained soldiers. The spaceship did not move in place, could it mean that they haven¡¯t found C.C.? Wait, where are these second-hand Zaku¢òs from? Does Britannia have Zaku? Oh, they may want to hide their identity in this way. In that case, the enemy is not expected to send out too many combatants. 0 ¡°Ade, look at the radar!¡± Alice marked on the edge of the map, ¡°I detected two battleships without identification signal here. The enemy should have spotted us as well.¡± 0 As if to confirm Alice¡¯s words, the opposite Zaku¢òs seemed to have no desire to negotiate, two of them began to cover firing, while the other three approached Inle directly at high speed. Behind the Zakus is the spaceship, which invalidated Inle¡¯s greatest advantage ¨C long-range firepower. And the enemy still has three battleships, which means that they may send reinforcements at any time. Ade decided to solve the Zakus in front of him as soon as possible. 0 ¡°Alice, detach Ferber.¡± Inle retreated with irregular maneuvers while quickly taking off the huge fire parts in the upper part of the fuselage, and Ferber flew into the distance under Alice¡¯s remote control. The Inle now looked like a robot riding on a huge flying mount. 0 Ade maneuvered Inle along an arc. He approached the three approaching Zakus from the side while trying to target one of them with the long-bladed rifle on one side of Hyzenthlays¡¯ flanks. But avoiding shots from afar while trying to avoid the passenger spaceship made aiming very difficult. The opponent seemed to know that Ade was afraid to hit the spaceship, no matter how much Ade adjusted his position, they always tried to keep Zakus between the spaceship and Inle. 0 The distance between Inle and the three Zakus shrank dramatically with the speed visible to the naked eye, Ade still held the rifle¡¯s trigger tightly and waited patiently for the right moment. Finally, the distance between the two sides was close enough to initiate a charge, the distant support fire finally stopped to avoid injuring friendly troops. Taking the chance Inle was close fighting the three Zakus, the other two also approached quickly. 0 At this distance, Zakus can not keep up with the speed of Inle! As TR-4 Dandelion turned the direction of the thrusters, Inle circled around the three Zakus at high speed. The huge inertial force makes Ade¡¯s body cling to the side of the driving suit, and the fixed belt on the seat strangled the body tightly. 0 Finally, a Zaku appeared in the rifle¡¯s sighting telescope. It is now! The muzzle of the long-bladed rifle emitted a dazzling light, and the ion beam rushed out, directly piercing the Zaku¡¯s cockpit. 0 It¡¯s said that the first killing of humans would make people feel guilt and sick. Ade had not had time to experience it, and the two remaining Zakus, as if oblivious to the death of their comrades, had rushed to Inle. Ade desperately moved to the left flank of the two Zakus, while using the Vulcan cannon on Inle¡¯s head to fire at the one that was farther away, barely pulling the distance between the two Zakus and Inle to avoid being pinned down by them. 0 In the blink of an eye, the closer Zaku was already in front of him. Ade raised the long-bladed rifle that had not yet cooled in his left hand, and the huge rifle body was used as a shield to block the oncoming Heat Hawk, while his right hand drew his beam saber under the cover of the huge shield. The Zaku was slightly shaken back by the long-bladed rifle. The moment the gun was lowered, the beam saber broke through Zaku¡¯s weak armor and pierced into the cockpit. In the saber¡¯s high-energy particle beam, the pilot directly vaporized. 0 Turning off the saber¡¯s energy, Inle kicked the stabbed Zaku so hard that the remains of its body exploded around the third Zaku. Ade took advantage of this chance to pull back his saber and aimed his right long-bladed rifle at the last Zaku, which exploded with the press of the trigger. Everything happened too quickly and the Zakus were only just arriving from the distance. 0 ¡°Alice!¡± The six beam pods on Hyzenthlays¡¯ back separated in response and scattered in all directions. Without the aid shot and perspective abduction from the enemy side, Alice was finally able to make her best use. The beam pods pierced left and right on the battlefield, constantly changing positions and attacking from every dead end. The 1.6-second-long turnaround time of Zaku¢ò was simply too slow to dodge them, and ordinary soldiers¡¯ physical quality simply could not adapt to such a fast pace of battle. 0 Handing the battle over to Alice, Ade maneuvered Inle to quickly fly towards the previously disengaged Ferber. The enemy will send reinforcements at any time, and his long-range firepower will be the biggest advantage. By the time Ade returns with Ferber, the two Zakus have been broken. The beam pods flew back to Hyzenthlays¡¯ back and Inle began to assemble it on the spot. 0 ¡°Ade, a team of five Mobile Suits reacted around the battleship, expected to arrive on the battlefield in one minute. They are enemy reinforcements!¡± Enough time! The assembled Inle moved at a low speed towards the battleship, and at this distance¡­ ¡°Minovsky particle concentration is reduced, Ade, I can snipe from this distance! ¡° 0 Inle stopped. Ade took a deep breath and raised the ultra-long-range beam cannon, and the one-hundred-meter-long giant barrel reflected an unsettling light. There were two battleships and he didn¡¯t know which one was the flagship, so he could randomly aim at one of them. The music in the cockpit had been turned off and Ade concentrated, starting to close his breath, waiting for the five Mobile Suits to approach to a reasonable distance. 0 Second by second, and as he waited patiently, the fleeting moment finally arrived and he pulled the trigger instantly. The blazing plasma stream surged, accelerated, and rushed through the cannon barrel, and finally roared out from the muzzle, tearing through the vacuum and pulling out a dazzling light in the universe, heading away into the distance. The five Mobile Suits were destroyed in just a moment, and the torrent of particles continued to burst forward until they smashed onto the ship. The heavy armor was rapidly reduced by the impact of the massive high-energy particle beams, then pierced, and the battleship was torn to pieces by the combined blast from within and the vacuum from outside, turning into a giant cosmic firework. 0 ¡°Lost the MSs¡¯ signal. Lost the battleship¡¯s signal. Ade, total destruction! ¡° 0 ¡°Our MSs were destroyed in one shot! The frigate was sunk. Suspected enemy long-range sniper! Request instructions! ¡° 0 ¡°Retreat! Retreat! Immediately move out of the sniper distance!¡± The explosion of the neighboring battleship affected the flagship as well, and a violent shaking occurred. Prince Clovis, who was sitting in the captain¡¯s chair, struggled to keep his balance. His handsome face twisted, not gentle and elegant at all. ¡°What the hell is going on?! How can a mere MS do such a thing! Asplund, I want an explanation!¡± 0 ¡°Even the GP03D would have difficulty sniping from this distance, not to mention that the Dendrobium should have been destroyed. As far as I know, no such airframe exists. It should be a secret weapon of an unknown force.¡± Llyod Asplund, director of the Britannia Special Technical Department, pushed his glasses and showed an enthralled expression, ¡°I want to capture it to take a look at it.¡± 0 ¡°Doesn¡¯t it mean you know nothing? We don¡¯t even know the other party sees us as ZAFT or PLANT or comes for that woman!¡± Clovis hammered down hard on the armrest of his seat. 0 It was hard to discover that woman¡¯s pseudonym and whereabouts, but they didn¡¯t dare to do anything on the moon. Finally, the woman bought a return ticket under a false name, so he quickly made a plan for the operation. On the one hand, he sent people from Earth to lurk in the ship. As long as they didn¡¯t get off the ship, the moon government wouldn¡¯t be able to find them; on the other hand, he sent a battleship and a frigate, hijacked the civil spaceship with Mobile Suits. 0 This MS came out of nowhere. If it was just passing by, it would be too much of a coincidence. Is the pilot her lover on the moon? Why would it arrive here? This firepower¡­ is it really a common MS? Who exactly am I fighting with? My father and brother didn¡¯t know about my arrest operation. If I couldn¡¯t catch that woman, it would be too shameful! 0 ¡°Asplund!¡± there was no point in continuing to send out the few remaining Zakus in the face of such an enemy. Clovis growled at the technical director, ¡°Send your toy out immediately!¡± 0 ¡°But¡­ Your Highness, Lancelot has already shown its face in the previous military exercise. If we send it out, our identity will be immediately exposed.¡± But Asplund¡¯s mouth raised and his excited expression betrayed him, ¡°If you insist, Lancelot is always available.¡± 0 ¡°The success of the operation has the highest priority. I will solve the matter of identity exposure.¡± The prince turned his head to a young man with short, sharp hair on the bridge, ¡°It¡¯s time to prove your worth.¡± 0 ¡°As ordered, Your Highness.¡± Suzaku Kururugi saluted to Clovis. 0 Zaku 0 Suzaku Kururugi 0 Llyod Asplund CH 16 Chapter 16: Lancelot¡­ Gundam 0 The enemy¡¯s battleship quickly retreated out of Inle¡¯s sniper range. Ade waited for the enemy¡¯s next move. If Britannia retreated like that then it would be best, he could just go back and save C.C.. If the enemy chose to balk at the distance, he didn¡¯t mind going up and taking a shot. At this distance, Inle has an absolute advantage. 0 Until this time, he had time to mull over the feeling of killing someone for the first time. Even though he had already blown up five MSs and a battleship, to be honest, he still didn¡¯t have any real feeling about the fact that he had killed someone, nor did he have the feeling of wanting to vomit. Is it because they are in the universe and the vacuum can¡¯t pass the sadness and explosion sound? Is it too unrealistic? Or does he implicitly treat all these people as NPCs? 0 ¡°Ade, a new MS reaction!¡± Alice stopped him from continuing to think further, ¡°Fast! We will encounter the enemy in thirty seconds!¡± 0 He quickly picked up the ultra-long-range beam cannon again and aimed, this was enough time for at least one shot. But what was happening in front of him dazzled him. The opposing MS was approaching at that speed while still doing irregular maneuvers, defending against sniping that could come at any moment. He spent three seconds mentally calculating the opponent¡¯s acceleration ¨C crap, is the pilot made of concrete? 0 ¡°Alice, turn into Hyzenthlays immediately after I fire.¡± In the face of this kind of deranged maneuverability, an oversized body just makes him an easy-to-aim-at target. It is really an opponent he is most unwilling to encounter now, ¡°Even if I can¡¯t hit the target, at least I can disturb his moves, right?¡± 0 The MS changed track too quickly and Ade can only roughly calculate a lead time. With the trigger being pressed, the torrent of death spewed out again. Shit, missed. But at this distance, there should be at least battle damage, right? The other side is still approaching at high speed, is the battle damage not serious? 0 Thirty seconds passed in a flash, and then Ade¡¯s eyes finally saw the enemy¡¯s figure. Looking at this MS, he was speechless, ¡°Knightmare Lancelot ¡­ no, it¡¯s Lancelot Gundam!¡± 0 It really is Gundam. The Lancelot in front of him is completely different from what he knew from the anime. Its twenty-meter-tall body proved that this thing is the real Gundam. In addition to the color scheme and appearance still slightly overlapping with the nightmare in his memory, this machine has not a single thing to do with the Lancelot he knew. Although he had seen it in the news before, he was too shocked by the existence of Britannia before and didn¡¯t pay attention to it. 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Britannia¡¯s army would hijack a civilian spaceship, are you still a member of the Earth Federation?¡± Now there was no time to be shocked, Ade hurriedly opened the public channel and shouted to buy time. He doesn¡¯t know if the pilot is an acquaintance, if it is, his words should be useful. The sniper just now worked. He noticed that Lancelot¡¯s entire left arm was vaporized. Even so, the other party still dared to rush over? The pilot must have great confidence in himself. 0 ¡°This is a military action taken by our side, no need to explain to you. Our troops did not hurt any innocent people either.¡± This awkward Japanese accent¡­ must be Suzaku Kururugi. ¡°You are the one who is ruthless, right?¡± 0 ¡°Are you Japanese by accent? Why would a Japanese join Britannia?¡± Ade simply began to speak Japanese. His pronunciation is quite authentic, Kururugi, take your time to misunderstand. 0 Then taking advantage of this gap, Ade observed the opposite Lancelot. The armor is not thick and is not equipped with a shield, or is it that the shield was destroyed along with the left arm? The only armaments visible to the naked eye are the 105mm Machine Gun on the head, a rifle on the back, a suspected grapnel launcher on the wrist, and a large solid saber held in the right hand. Look at the structure, the saber should be a Progressive Knife, but at this size? Its attack should not be possible to puncture the PS armor. Another possible existing weapon should be the internal beam saber. 0 The armament is simple and the armor is thin, and in association with the speed, the MS should be a close-range combat specialization, the type Ade hates most. But there are solve two problems, one is the body is too brittle, you can¡¯t expect the pilot to dodge every stray bullet; the second is ¨C can any pilot acclimatizes himself to this kind of inertia force? Not to mention human beings, even coordinators can not stand it. Well, now it seems the second problem has been solved, Kururugi should be a hybrid of human and concrete or something like that. 0 ¡°¡­ I can¡¯t tell you, but I didn¡¯t abandon Japan!¡± Wow, Kururugi is still explaining, but sorry, I¡¯m going to attack. ¡°Despicable!¡± 0 A beam shield unfolded on Lancelot¡¯s right arm and blocked Ade¡¯s attack. Then Lancelot quickly sprinted forward. What? A light shield?! What¡¯s this technique? I want to dismantle one for research! But Lancelot¡¯s speed does not give him enough time to think about it. The Progressive Knife has already cleaved to the long-bladed rifle. The sprint distance is not long, but the impact caused by the tremendous momentum of the extremely fast speed shocked Ade¡¯s internal organs, and Kururugi changed the angle of attack and sprint to him the second time. 0 What the hell is the thing in Lancelot¡¯s cockpit? Do you think you¡¯re driving a bumper car? Lancelot¡¯s speed is too fast. Not to mention shooting, even the beam saber is too slow to deploy. Ade could only block Lancelot¡¯s attacks with the long-bladed rifle. Fortunately, the PS armor is hard enough, and the Progressive Knife did not break through the PS armor¡¯s defense. 0 Alice¡¯s beam pods have been quietly unfolded, but Lancelot is too fast, and the distance between the two sides is too close, there is no opportunity to play a black shot. There is no shame to be a camper to stab the enemy in the back, after all, the ACE pilot during the One Year War was not Amuro, but a man named Tenneth A Jung, who created a kill record of 149 mobile suits shot down and 3 ships destroyed with his professional black shot skill. 0 After several unsuccessful raids, Kururugi also found out that Inle¡¯s armor was too thick. But the two large rifles showed that this is a long-range combat specialization Gundam, so he did not pull out the rifle but throw down the Progressive Knife, drew out the hidden beam saber, and rushed forward again. 0 Ade only then had time to pull out his beam saber, and was able to stand up to block the slash. The PS armor can¡¯t counteract energy damage, so he can¡¯t continue to block the beam saber with the long-bladed rifle like he did earlier. After three or four turns, Ade found that his reaction couldn¡¯t keep up and he couldn¡¯t pull away from the distance. So that is why he hates close combat! Why can¡¯t we make things simple and only aim at each other with guns? 0 But fortunately, only the top ACE will drive a close combat machine, and all top ACEs can be disturbed with trash talk. 0 ¡°Do you want to be a lapdog of Britannia that much?¡± Well, is this sentence too much? Will it provoke the other party? Trash talk is an artist of language and I still need to study. ¡°Have you forgotten the people who sacrificed themselves for Japan¡¯s independence? Or have you already killed many of your fellow countrymen?¡± 0 ¡°No!¡± The standard Japanese in the public channel stung Kururugi¡¯s heart, ¡°I¡¯m just fighting for a better future in a different way!¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s your own future you¡¯re fighting for, isn¡¯t it, traitor?¡± Ade struggled to adjust the positions of both sides, trying to create opportunities for Alice. ¡°Driving this brand new Mobile Suit, I see, you have long been promoted to become rich by betraying Japan!¡± 0 ¡°I haven¡¯t forgotten my original intention for a moment!¡± Ade finally found an opportunity and gave Kururugi a shot with the long-bladed rifle in his left hand. Lancelot dodged to the side while quickly deploying the light shield, ¡°No matter what you say, I¡¯ll stick to my own justice!¡± 0 Now is the time! 0 Six beam pods fired at Lancelot at the same time under Alice¡¯s precise control, half shooting at the fuselage and the other half shooting at the positions Lancelot may move to. With beast-like instincts, Kururugi completed a deft turn in place with almost impossible speed, avoiding the fatal attacks. At the same time, the grapnel launcher on Lancelot¡¯s right arm was shot out like lightning, breaking the nearest beam pod. Three beam pods¡¯ attacks missed and two hit Lancelot¡¯s right shoulder joint at the same time. Lancelot¡¯s right arm separated. 0 Right hand! I got the light shield! But there is no time for Ade to cheer up ¨C 0 ¡°High energy reaction! Ade, it¡¯s the battleship¡¯s main gun!¡± Alice¡¯s loud cry of alarm made him subconsciously do an evasive maneuver, ¡°The target is not us!¡± 0 A dazzling white light lit up in the corner of his eyes. What was it? What blew up? For a moment, it was as if he lost the ability to think logically, just blankly turned his head and looked at the fireworks in front of him. His mind was blank. 0 ¡°Lancelot to the flagship, Lancelot to the flagship! What¡¯s going on? Why are you attacking civilians!¡± 0 ¡°Our identity cannot be revealed. The soldiers on board died heroically for the Empire.¡± The voice of Prince Clovis rang in Kururugi¡¯s ears, ¡°Suzaku Kururugi, complete your mission.¡± 0 ¡°What¡­¡± What the hell did he do after wasting so many years in the army? Can this inhumane royal family really be changed? ¡°Lancelot is broken, requesting to return¡­¡± 0 ¡°Rubbish!¡± It was Prince Clovis¡¯s angry roar, but it didn¡¯t matter anymore, ¡°Asplund, is this what you call an ACE?! Retreat! Retreat!¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t know what Lancelot was doing floating dumbly in place, because he was just as immobile, unable to think, and his mind was blank. What is this? What is this! I owe you a favor that I haven¡¯t paid off yet, and I said I would see you next year! Our relationship is not close enough to exchange bodily fluids. What¡­ what is this?! 0 Helplessness, remorse, bitterness, sadness, anger, bewilderment, irritation, all kinds of negative emotions emerged from his blank thought, expanding. Ade only felt his brain, his heart, or some unknown organ was being propped up by these things as if he was going to explode. 0 He scanned the universe with his empty eyes until an MS came into view. He knew there was no point in doing so, he knew it wasn¡¯t this man¡¯s fault, his reason knew everything, but reason didn¡¯t work here. He uncontrollably hissed and roared at Lancelot through the public channel in a voice he had never had before, ¡°Is this what you call justice?!¡± CH 17 Chapter 17: The Director Said There Must Be Naked Floating 0 ¡°¡­ de ¡­Ade¡­Ade!¡± Alice¡¯s voice brought him back from the brilliant fireworks display in the distance. This is the third firework today, right? ¡°What do we do now?¡± 0 Lancelot ran away faster than he came, worthy of the name ACE, but unfortunately, Kururugi no longer had a battleship to go back to. Shit, what Kururugi was going to do was none of my business. The question is what should I do now? Revenge is complete, so just go home? Continue to be the director, sad for a while, and then forget about it? I don¡¯t even know who I just killed! And my Geass, I haven¡¯t known its ability. By the way, the Code holder has died, does Geass still exist? 0 Wait, Code? 0 ¡°Alice, scan the battlefield! Are there any survivors?¡± The Code holder¡¯s immortality is simply a setting for him, so he completely neglected it before. But what exactly is the so-called immortality? Does absolute immortality really exist? Can you survive an explosion with this level of damage? You must be able to. What kind of immortality it is if you can¡¯t even survive from this damage?! 0 ¡°Ade, I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s hard to ¡­¡± Alice¡¯s apologetic voice rang in the cockpit, ¡°The ship explosion¡¯s splash range is too large, there is too much debris. I don¡¯t know how long it will spend to search the debris. And ¡­¡± 0 ¡°-and even if C.C. is still alive, she may have been blown away. There is little resistance in the vacuum ¡­¡± He understood. He just doesn¡¯t want to give up. ¡°Go back to find Ferber and TR-4 Dandelion. After that, let¡¯s search by star areas.¡± 0 Reason told him that this doesn¡¯t work, and C.C. may have flown in the direction of Earth and fallen into the atmosphere. Only this time he felt jealous of protagonists in films. If this is a movie, as long as he played some sad background music, and then shouted something like ¡°I will never give up¡±, he would definitely find the heroine at the last minute. 0 Now think about Geass, it¡¯s really useless. In this world, there are a bunch of objects it can¡¯t affect. On the contrary, NewType can call, can be used as radar, and can even be used to push the satellite. This is the all-purpose skill the main character should have. If I¡¯m a New Type¡­ 0 But I don¡¯t know what the principle of New Type is! How to achieve mental awareness? Amuro will come the next week, but how can I wait until the next week? And even if Amuro comes, is it possible to teach such things? Even if he becomes a New Type, but C.C. is not a New Type, can he sense it? The more he thinks about it, the more confused his brain is, and he¡¯s a bit restless. 0 ¡°Ade, your breathing is a little confused.¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded worried, ¡°Want to put on some music to calm down?¡± 0 ¡°Whatever.¡± 0 The exciting dynamic music was a bit familiar, making Ade couldn¡¯t help but freeze, ¡°Alice, do you expect me to calm down to listen to this?¡± 0 ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry ¡­¡± Alice¡¯s voice was aggrieved, ¡°But this song is called Peace of Mind. I thought it¡­ ¡° 0 ¡°What is it called?¡± He finally remembered the origin of this melody. Isn¡¯t this music from Mobile Fighter G Gundam? Then a jumble of memories were recalled one after another, Domon Kasshu, God Gundam, Master Asia, Peace of Mind¡­ all kinds of inexplicable things flew through his mind like a running light, and finally settled on Bruce Lee in the black and white video ¨C don¡¯t think, feel. 0 Ade turned off the music, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. 0 Alice did not speak again, the only sound in the helmet was his own breathing, but he did not need to hear. The closed eyelids could still feel the light projected by the electronic screen, but he didn¡¯t need vision either. What he needed was something beyond the five senses, something that didn¡¯t need a medium, something that was far-free, something that enveloped the whole of space, something that abandoned preconceived stereotypes, something that directly mobilized consciousness and emotion, something humans get when they enter the universe, just like ¨C 0 Crack! 0 It was like an electric current cutting through the brain, like thunder tearing through the sky. Some non-existent organ, through some indescribable karma, pulled his consciousness to sweep through the universe at the speed of light, and clearly and unmistakably made him feel it. Right there! 0 ¡°Alice, you¡¯re wonderful!¡± He let out an uncontrollable cry of joy as Inle sailed at full speed in some direction in the universe, ¡°Excellent choice of song, excellent timing, Alice, you¡¯re just wonderful!¡± 0 ¡°Ah, is it?¡± Alice seems to be confused about what happened, ¡°I thought Ade¡­ was angry ¡­¡± 0 ¡°How can I be angry, I love you so much!¡± Ade was so excited that he wanted to dance around, ¡°I found it, it¡¯s all your credit! I want to give you a kiss!¡± 0 ¡°Oh, this, Ade, how to say it ¡­¡± It¡¯s so interesting that Alice can make this sound, ¡°I am A.I., I don¡¯t understand love¡­¡± 0 With the superior mobility of TR-4 Dandelion, he quickly reached his destination. 0 Ahhh, found it. A naked figure drifting slowly in the boundless space. Her snow-white skin dazzling like a star under the reflection of starlight, and her long emerald green hair scattered casually, exquisite as if it were a craft. 0 ¡°Alice, exhaust the air in the cockpit.¡± 0 Inle carefully flew to the front of the C.C.. The cockpit door opened, Ade stood up and opened his arms. The figure accurately jumped into his arms, and he hugged it tightly. The law of conservation of momentum made the two of them hit the inner wall of the cockpit backward. The hatch closed and the cockpit began to regain air pressure. 0 He looked at the figure in his arms and was momentarily lost in thought. Her glowing golden pupils locked with his own, and her lips curved into a smile. Through his pilot¡¯s suit, he could feel her skin gradually regaining its elasticity. The green light above the cockpit came on and the air pressure returned to normal. He fondly let go of his hands and took off his helmet. He just wanted to say something, his lips were blocked by a soft touch, and something reached in. Time seems to have been suspended by someone. After a long while, he felt some dizziness in the head, is it because of the lack of oxygen? Oh right, I can breathe with my nose. 0 Then the touch on his lips suddenly disappeared, and he gasped heavily, replenishing the oxygen to his brain and lungs. 0 ¡°Very good performance this time. It was a reward just now.¡± Her voice was still so cold, but now it sounded like heavenly music, ¡°Your eyes are a little red. Are you touched to the point of crying?¡± 0 ¡°How is it possible. I just awakened my New Type ability. I was so excited that I almost cried. Otherwise, how do you think I found you?¡± His breathing finally regained stability, only then did he notice that the other party was naked. ¡°You should put on something. I have the clothes I changed down before in the mezzanine under the seat.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, quite well prepared.¡± C.C. held the back of the driver¡¯s seat and floated to the bottom of the seat. Ade had to stare at the electronic screen of Inle with full attention, ¡°Actually, you can pretend to think about the clothes after a while later. I won¡¯t mind it today.¡± 0 ¡°That¡­ by the way, even the spaceship explosion can¡¯t kill you?¡± Ade awkwardly changed the topic, ¡°I understand that your clothes were burned, but why your hair are fine?¡± 0 ¡°This is the first time I have encountered a spaceship explosion, so I can only say that this is the case. As for the hair, the hair also seems to be recognized in the ¡®I¡¯ category. That¡¯s the only explanation I can think of.¡± C.C. finally put on the clothes, a pair of pants plus a jacket only. 0 ¡°Extremely high temperatures and extremely low temperatures can¡¯t kill you, and you can also survive from zero air pressure and zero oxygen.¡± Is there really such a thing as absolute immortality? This is more unscientific than New Type. ¡°What if the temperature raises high enough to vaporize flesh and blood? Or as low as absolute zero? Body destruction? Removal of internal organs? Strong electric current? Pouring cement? Ah ¡­¡± 0 Seeing a playful smile on C.C.¡¯s face, Ade immediately shut his mouth, but it was already too late. C.C. pushed the inner wall behind her and float in front of Ade, the two sides were so close that they could hear each other¡¯s breath. Ade suddenly remembered the day of the contract. 0 ¡°Sorry, Ade, it seems I was too unconcerned about my covenanter. I didn¡¯t notice that he had such unspeakable and twisted desires. But for the sake of you behaving so well today, I can satisfy your less excessive desires.¡± He seemed to hear the sound of his own gagging. C.C. pushed him and slowly drifted away, ¡°Of course it¡¯s a tease. You didn¡¯t take it seriously, right?¡± 0 ¡°Ahem, this is a scientific researcher¡¯s instinctive desire to know the truth. Do not misunderstand it.¡± The front flap of her jacket was not fastened, and he saw a flash of something, ¡°Have you ever thought about what extreme circumstances your immortality will fail? Like falling into the sun?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not necessary to solve Code and Geass with the sun.¡± C.C. made a thoughtful face, ¡°Probably a satellite hitting the earth should be able to kill me. By the way, did you just say that you awakened your New Type ability?¡± 0 ¡°Yes. Just close my eyes, and then a ding in my head, and then I perceived your location. Otherwise, how can I find you in the vast universe?¡± By the way, it is New Type, isn¡¯t it? He suddenly felt not sure about it. ¡°The key is, you are not a New Type. I don¡¯t know if it is because of the New Type sense or Geass. Amuro will come the next week, I can ask him about NT at that time. ¡° 0 ¡°Geass holder is also a New Type ¡­¡± C.C. thought of something, but did not say it out. Ade did not ask either. 0 ¡°Why are you flying so slow? I was thinking if you were shot out like a cannonball, then it would be really hard to find you.¡± 0 ¡°It did start out that way, then got lucky, I hit a meteorite fragment to slow down.¡± C.C. said turning around and taking off her jacket to reveal her bare back, ¡°The wound is gone. There was a long gash here.¡± 0 Ade looked for a while until C.C. turned back, then he pretended to look around at the view. He seemed to hear C.C.¡¯s soft laughter; it must have been an illusion. 0 ¡°Do you have a clue who¡¯s got you? Oh, the people might have died, you probably didn¡¯t see it. Also, why are you flying around with no alert when it¡¯s obvious that someone is hunting you? Have you been hiding on Earth? Schneizel is also a shareholder of Anaheim, didn¡¯t he know you were on the moon? There are so many things I need to run through all over again.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t worry, things aren¡¯t as bad as you think. I¡¯ll give you the answers one by one.¡± Something looming made his mouth go a little dry, and he tried not to let his eyes drift to strange places, ¡°Now let¡¯s go home first, shall we? And you, Alice, thank you too.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re welcome, Miss C.C., it¡¯s all Ade¡¯s credit.¡± 0 Oh, I almost forgot that Alice is also here! Although she is an A.I., it is still a bit embarrassing. By the way, Ade suddenly remembered a more important thing, ¡°Alice, turn around! Right hand! Lancelot¡¯s right hand!¡± CH 18 Chapter 18: Worldview and Methodology 0 ¡°What are you doing?¡± C.C.¡¯s voice rang in his ear. Her hair fell on his neck, making him a little itchy. ¡°If you¡¯re free, go with me today to buy a pillow. The previous one blew up.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m writing a review.¡± Ade concentrated on typing, ¡°Amuro will come tomorrow, and I will be very busy after that. I want to write the review today. You¡¯re the one who insisted to bring the pillow on board.¡± 0 ¡°What mistake did you make? To whom?¡± 0 ¡°Arrogance and gullibility. To myself.¡± He turned away from the keyboard, ¡°I want to discuss it with you, and it helps me to organize my own thoughts.¡± 0 ¡°Good.¡± C.C. sat on the bed, casually pulling Ade¡¯s pillow over and hugging it in her arms. 0 ¡°There are a lot of problems in yesterday¡¯s rescue operation. It has been proven that staying in the lab all the time will make people¡¯s vision narrow, and it is only in practice that true knowledge can come out.¡± Ade picked up the tablet and tapped on it with the tip of his electronic pen, ¡°The most serious one, I had an almost superstitious trust in Moonlight Butterfly out of some preconceived notion. Moonlight Butterfly is awesome, but that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m awesome. The moon is indeed safe, but that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m safe, or that I can¡¯t stay home on the moon forever as long as I continue to have interactions with you.¡± 0 ¡°So what? Decided to cut ties with me?¡± 0 ¡°So I¡¯m going to become awesome and find a way to stay safe. Besides, Moonlight Butterfly is not invincible. If someone gets an orbital cannon, Roland is not always in time to protect the moon.¡± C.C.¡¯s corners curled up in a subtle curve, ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± 0 ¡°No laughing, just thought it was valuable to get blown up that time yesterday.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s why nothing is absolutely independent, not the moon, and not me. Contradiction is the universal connection between things and the inherent basis for their development. The conflicting sides are both opposed and united. It¡¯s the source of driving things.¡± Ade was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he talked to himself and did not see the surprised expression on C.C.¡¯s face. 0 ¡°For example, your capture by this prince this time was accidental, but the conflict that exists between you and Britannia is inevitable. Inevitability determines the basic direction of things and manifests itself by some kind of chance, and these two are equally opposed and united.¡± 0 ¡°Is this ¡­ where you learned all this?¡± C.C. looked at him with a strange look. 0 ¡°I did listen well in the politics class. Is this not taught anymore?¡± Ade showed a wistful smile, ¡°This is the first and only methodology I subconsciously came up with when I was fully exercising my most basic right as a human being ¨C to know the world ¨C and it turned out to be unexpectedly good. It seems I¡¯m not really qualified to teach Shinn a lesson. Is it possible to start a study group with him or something?¡± 0 ¡°Is this the real you?¡± C.C.¡¯s voice was soft. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know, ah, but at least it¡¯s a part of me, a very important part. Something like self-awareness ¡­ just because you know something doesn¡¯t mean you can understand it.¡± He tried hard to find a different word to describe himself, yet shamefully failed, ¡°Probably I¡¯m still a paramecium, a paramecium with a little self-awareness.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± C.C. let go of the pillow that was held so tightly that it was slightly deformed, ¡°So, after all that talk, what are you going to do?¡± 0 ¡°First of all, we need to identify the main and secondary contradictions of things. In my perspective, the primary conflict is between my weak self-defense ability and the increasingly complex social relations, while the conflict between us and Britannia ¨C Kururugi isn¡¯t dead, so this will be exposed sooner or later ¨C the conflict between us and Britannia is a secondary contradiction.¡± Ade said as he took notes on his tablet, ¡°The two are interconnected. They affect each other and they are opposites.¡± 0 ¡°There you go again.¡± 0 ¡°Ah, sorry. It just never occurred to me that knowledge like this could suddenly be applied. It makes me a little excited. Should I go to calculate a couple of Mathematical Olympiad problems to calm down?¡± 0 C.C. unexpectedly understood what Mathematical Olympiad problems are, but Mathematical Olympiad problems¡­ aren¡¯t they just popular before the universe century? Wait, isn¡¯t that what he just talked about ¡­? 0 ¡°The danger for us is that I¡¯m unable to predict what will happen, and we are retaliated against Britannia. Our needs are to build some self-defense capability and to have some crisis management capability. Our resources are advanced science and technology and a certain amount of money.¡± 0 ¡°So?¡± 0 ¡°So we don¡¯t have to feel our way across the river, we can learn from the advanced experience of others. Don¡¯t you think there is someone who is in a similar situation to us?¡± Ade didn¡¯t keep her guessing, ¡°Siegel Clyne.¡± 0 As an Anaheim shareholder, Siegel Clyne has a lot of money and a lot of personal enemies. His daughter, on the one hand, can bring him a lot of convenience, but on the other hand, is a weakness to hold him back. Think about the political heritage Lacus has after her father died in the anime ¨C battleships and high-tech MS ¨C aren¡¯t they the result of her father¡¯s efforts? I don¡¯t need to start a war on both sides like her, but just to learn her father¡¯s thinking is enough. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. You can¡¯t afford to feed a fleet with that little money.¡± C.C. seems to be tired of sitting and lying down on his side, ¡°It¡¯s hard enough to maintain a warship, not to mention that you are still pouring money into your scientific research. Or do you have some kind of private money that even I don¡¯t know about?¡± 0 ¡°There¡¯s no need to maintain a fleet, nor is there any use for it at all.¡± Of course, he has private money, but there is no need to discuss it now, ¡°In the Orb Union Defense War during the One Year War, Amuro and Kira blew up a fleet. During the Stardust Incident last year, Dendrobium(RX-78 GP03D) and Physalis(RX-78 GP02A) slaughtered a million armies. I could have achieved a similar effect with Inle if there was no out-of-spec interference. Why should I feed a fleet in this bullshit worldview?¡± 0 ¡°In this bullshit worldview ¡­¡± Now that he¡¯s not even bothering to pretend, C.C. is getting used to it. 0 ¡°I¡¯m not going to say it¡¯s unscientific or anything, I have been used to it.¡± Ade subconsciously stood up and paced, ¡°Since this fact exists, there must be an objective law to achieve it in. All I have to do is to find this law and use it.¡± 0 ¡°The father of Gundam said Gundam is not scientific ¡­¡± C.C. laughed out lightly, ¡°Have you found it?¡± 0 ¡°When I designed the RX-78-2, the Federation¡¯s claim was that ordinary MS was too undistinguished, so I designed the parameters according to my own physical abilities. Gundam is powerful, but if it¡¯s an ordinary soldier who drives it, it will not be better than driving a Zaku.¡± He paced around the bedroom in circles, making C.C. feel a bit dizzy, ¡°Only Amuro can handle the White Demon(RX-78-2), and Amuro becoming its pilot is both accidental and inevitable, it¡¯s the unity of opposites-¡° 0 ¡°¨Cstop, you¡¯re starting this again.¡± 0 ¡°I was still a little confused, but I figured it out yesterday when I met Kururugi.¡± He held up the electronic pen to look up and down, not minding C.C.¡¯s interruption, ¡°What do you think Kururugi can do with that kind of non-human physical quality and reaction ability? In the cold weapon era, he may be able to kill a hundred people. But in this era, by driving Lancelot, even if he can¡¯t blow up an entire fleet, at least no one can stop him from coming and leaving.¡± 0 ¡°Elitism?¡± 0 ¡°Elitism is the conclusion, not the cause. The key is what leads to elitism. Why various forces have spared no effort to develop these high-performance weapons that only a very few people can use? What makes these people with these weapons can play such considerable battle results? I don¡¯t know what others think, but we have to look through the phenomenon to the essence, or rather, force a reason that makes sense for the way of constituting the world.¡± 0 ¡°This way of constituting the world ¡­¡± 0 ¡°For example, if Tom and Jack go to the exam, and everyone makes zero mistakes. Tom gets a hundred points and Jack gets ninety-five, it looks like their scores are close.¡± Ade tried to give a superficial example, ¡°But what if the paper had 10,000 points? Jack can still only get ninety-five points, but Tom may get two hundred points, or he may get nine thousand points.¡± 0 ¡°Let me put the strange names like Tom and Jack aside.¡± C.C. thought about it for a while, ¡°So, Zaku and RGM-79GM is paper of one hundred points, and your Inle or Lancelot is a paper of ten thousand points?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s right. Gundam, or anything like it, is like an amplifier that reflects the real gap between people. And the problem is that in this world, the gap between people is surprisingly large to such an extent that one person can dominate a battle. In other words, it is a qualitative change that causes a quantitative change. Of course, an individual high-end battle power can only determine the victory or defeat of local battles. The Federation can still rely on endless resources to defeat Coordinators. This is the quantitative change caused by qualitative change, the two are still the unity of opposites. ¡ª you see, I made an explanation.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s the most plausible explanation I can find for the world. Packaged in the words you¡¯re more used to, Gundam unlocks human possibilities.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I never thought about that, it¡¯s something that everyone and I take for granted. What a wonderful experience ¡­¡± C.C. looked at the ceiling for a moment in silence, then sat up, ¡°We do not have the ability, nor do we need the quantity. So the conclusion is that you have to build Gundam, then abduct a few ACEs, and latch onto the moon government?¡± 0 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter that the conclusion is simple, what matters is whether I get it in the right way.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s cheesy to just look at the conclusion, but the argumentative process ¡­¡± 0 ¡°If I were a time traveler¡­ cough, cough, if I were a general or councilor¡¯s son, there is certainly not so troublesome. But we now can only do this to make us safe.¡± Ade was finally tired, sitting back on the seat, ¡°You just said we have enough money to maintain a battleship? That¡¯s just right, we buy a battleship, dismantle conspicuous guns, change the power and the armor, and then spend some money to register as a cargo ship. It¡¯s convenient to run away with it and carry Inle around.¡± 0 ¡°Registered as a cargo ship ¡­ why are you so skilled? Besides, do you have that much time? Amuro Ray is coming tomorrow.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t have time, but¡­ don¡¯t you have time?¡± 0 There was an embarrassing silence, had he made a fool of himself? 0 ¡°Well, I have, and it hasn¡¯t been peaceful on Earth.¡± C.C. sighed, ¡°I can be your new toy¡¯s overseer, and we can recruit people with the excuse of recruiting bodyguards. Do you have any candidates?¡± 0 ¡°I have thought about it. It is best to be a person with a military background, extraordinary physique, ACE-level MS driving skills, not recruited by any other forces, depressed, simple-minded, and loyal to me.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ you¡¯re dreaming.¡± C.C. paused, ¡°Well, Shinn Asuka should count as one. I now understand why you are so enthusiastic about him. Are there any more?¡± 0 ¡°There must be.¡± Ade carefully recalled all the people he knew and ¡°knew¡±, ¡°I remember that the ¡®Phantom Ace¡¯ is about to be released from his one year of hard labor?¡± 0 Moonlight Butterfly CH 19 Chapter 19: Warriors of Sorrow 0 At 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Ade awaited Amuro at Copernicus Cosport. To show the importance of this cooperation, Lord Director personally waited at the airport to show his great respect to the Federation. 0 Standing beside him was an unknown Lunar Army officer. According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, the highest-ranking person sent from the Earth side was lieutenant colonel Bright Noa, so the Moon side assigned a colonel as the person in charge of this contact. Ade was glad that General Ghingham did not come in person. He did not like that man very much. 0 As the time for the meeting drew near, he felt a sudden stirring in his heart. A large, tender, frustrated, mournful will from across the stars was distantly connected to him, and the other side¡¯s sullen mood struck a chord with him. Without words, without explanation, he confirmed the other¡¯s identity, and his own, in a flash. 0 The empathy with Amuro made him in a low spirit. The feeling was so clear and vivid that it was as if he could personally experience what Amuro had gone through. But he quickly came to his senses. This was not his feelings, not his perception, this was false empathy, he and Amuro could not possibly understand each other. 0 But the delusion just now was so real. What would happen if his own consciousness really had empathy with Amuro? Some things are really different between knowing and understanding. He now vaguely understood why Kamille had gone crazy in the anime. 0 While he was rambling, the battleship Akama had docked at the pier. A group of men in Federation uniforms led by an officer came this way, and the colonel of the Lunar Army beside himself came forward to meet them. Ade recognized Amuro in the crowd at once, not by rank or appearance, but by the senses that were still vaguely at work telling him that this man was the one he had just resonated with. Amuro tightly locked eyes with Ade, and his eyes looked complicated. 0 ¡°Hello, Dr. Lingus, I am Lieutenant Colonel Bright Noa, the head of this operation.¡± The officer came up to Ade. Because Ade was not a soldier, so Bright Noa did not salute but extended his hand to him. 0 ¡°Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Noa.¡± Ade took Bright¡¯s outstretched hand, ¡°On behalf of Anaheim, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Federation military for their cooperation, and on my own behalf, I would like to thank the Lieutenant Colonel and Captain Ray.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, although this is the first time we have met, I have been saved many times by your masterpiece during the One Year War. It¡¯s me who should say thank you.¡± Bright showed a sincere smile, ¡°Allow me to introduce. This is the central figure of this operation, Captain Amuro Ray.¡± 0 ¡°Hello, Dr. Lingus.¡± Amuro came forward and shook Ade¡¯s hand without saying much. Both men knew they needed to talk, but not now. 0 The group drove to the Institute, and Ade explained to Amuro directly in the car about the arrangements he had planned, ¡°We have limited time, so we¡¯ll start working today. Captain Ray, we have three primary goals: determine the means of observation, the metric, and the mode of action of psychic sensing. With the information you have provided, we have established a total of fourteen model hypotheses. Our task today is to verify each of these models and see if any of them are truly valid and will respond to psychic sensing.¡± 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, please call me by my first name as well if you don¡¯t mind.¡± Amuro looked at Bright in the passenger seat, ¡°In a sense, we know each other pretty well.¡± 0 During the One Year War, Amuro, as Gundam¡¯s pilot, had been giving Anaheim regular feedback, and it was the designer Ade himself who was responsible for handling that feedback at the time. Fortunately, Amuro, unlike other semi-literate soldiers, possessed a notable technical level himself, so his reports could accurately reflect the real situation and the problems he encountered, and give Ade a great convenience in the subsequent work. 0 Although the two had never met and did not speak to each other, they were subtle familiar with each other. 0 ¡°Well, Captain Amuro.¡± Ade took it in stride, ¡°We will be quite busy these days, so please be prepared.¡± 0 ¡°Never mind.¡± Amuro smiled at him, ¡°It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.¡± 0 The day was intense and busy, and Amuro finally found the correct and valid one after trying twelve models. After sampling a large amount of data using this model, the work was temporarily handed over to the analysts and Amuro was finally free. At Ade¡¯s invitation, the two came to Ade¡¯s office. 0 ¡°Could you two leave for a little while?¡± Ade looked at the two men who were responsible for ¡°protecting¡± Amuro, ¡°What we are going to talk about is a business secret, so please cooperate.¡± 0 The two men looked at each other, one of them took out his cell phone and made a call. After getting what was presumably permission from Bright, the two soldiers apologized to Ade and finally left the office. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, I didn¡¯t expect the person I sensed on the ship to be you,¡± Amuro said directly. There is no need to circle around because he understood Ade¡¯s kindness, and he believed Ade could understand his as well, ¡°You turned out to be a New Type¡­¡± 0 ¡°I just awakened recently under the impulse of emotion, and I couldn¡¯t be sure that this is the so-called NewType until this morning. I don¡¯t want to disclose it for the time being, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me.¡± Looking at Amuro nod, he asked, ¡°I have another question for you. Do all NTs do what we did this morning? Wouldn¡¯t it be impossible to live normally? Can this ability be freely controlled?¡± 0 ¡°It seems that I have made you misunderstand, sorry. Generally speaking, there is only a general sense between NTs. this morning, I sensed a strange NT and took the initiative to resonate with you.¡± Amuro looked Ade in the eyes, ¡°But you quickly rejected it, didn¡¯t you?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, I thought¡­¡± 0 ¡°No need to explain, you were right.¡± Amuro gave a self-deprecating smile, ¡°When I met Lalah, I thought humans were capable of understanding each other. But I was wrong, it just so happened that Lalah and I understood each other, that¡¯s all. Even Char and I can¡¯t understand each other, how can I let all humans understand each other?¡± 0 Ade did not ask who Lalah was, and did not need to recall the story between Amuro and her. A feeling of unstoppable sorrow and loneliness enveloped this office. Ade did not refuse this time, carefully experienced, and even felt a trace of tenderness inherited from Lalah Sune. Obviously, they have never met, but he inexplicably feels close to her. It was as if the director himself held his hand and told him, ¡°Lalah is a good girl. No need to doubt this fact, because I am the director.¡± 0 A sense of alarm that his mind was distorted made Ade violently cut the mental connection with Amuro, and what appeared before his eyes was Amuro¡¯s complicated look. 0 ¡°You see, that¡¯s it.¡± Amuro¡¯s voice was somewhat subdued, ¡°Humans can¡¯t understand each other because humans don¡¯t want to understand each other at all. That¡¯s the ultimate answer to NT.¡± 0 ¡°Captain Amuro, I have not pondered a proposition as big as humanity.¡± Ade carefully weighed his words, ¡°But I can¡¯t accept that an emotion I¡¯ve never experienced before is being written into my mind. It¡¯s like my perception is being forcefully distorted by an external force.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s amazing that a New Type would say something like that ¡­¡± Amuro looked a little surprised, ¡°You¡¯re very different from us ¡­ ¡° 0 ¡°Captain Amuro, I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so hung up on mutual understanding, and my realm of thought doesn¡¯t reach that level either.¡± He remembered what C.C. said about perception changing the world, ¡°I have no intention of probing the secrets between you and Char and Miss Lalah, and I have a lot of hidden emotions I don¡¯t want you to know, but the fact that we can skip the suspicion and temptation and talk as openly as this, I think is a credit to that ability. This level of mutual understanding is enough. I feel content.¡± 0 The atmosphere was somewhat strained. Amuro still looked as if he could not understand, and Ade could no longer find better words to describe his thoughts. He hesitated for a moment, then tried to do what Amuro had just done. 0 It was a whole new feeling that Amuro hadn¡¯t experienced before. Unlike Lalah¡¯s gentle, all-embracing love, unlike Char¡¯s sharp, strong, obsessive thoughts, this was an awkward, agile, confused, obstinate, expectant, indifferent will, struggling to build the last bastion of reason in the frenzied turbulence of consciousness, unyieldingly declaring war on the whole world, and on the initiator himself. 0 Amuro was shaken. 0 ¡°¡­ You are not like us. No wonder you were asking how to control this ability as soon as you came up. In your opinion, the power of mental sensing is just a somewhat special tool, not fundamentally different from other powers.¡± There is no point in lying between NTs. Ade nodded frankly, and Amuro continued, ¡°You are neither as pessimistic as I am, nor as superstitious as Char in believing that NTs can lead humans, but just treat it as an objective existence.¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t it an objective existence?¡± 0 ¡°Humans are incapable of experiencing all the experiences of others, but isn¡¯t the so-called mutual understanding building on the basis of no common sense? Maybe the starting point of the act of mutual understanding is wrong.¡± Amuro laughed bitterly, ¡°The so-called New Type is just a wrong evolution in the million-year history of human evolution, both Char and I are just the remnants of a failed evolution. Maybe you are right, NT is not meant to understand each other at all.¡± 0 ¡°Captain Amuro, in my eyes, the power of psychic sensing seems is similar to other scientific laws. It¡¯s not what it¡¯s used for, it¡¯s what I want to use it for.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Dr. Adrien, you have not experienced war first hand.¡± Amuro bowed his head in silence for a long time, then suddenly spoke, ¡°War experiencers like Char and I had some kind of delusion that we could wipe out the war once and for all, and New Type was the only thing we had that was different from other. We bet everything we hoped on it. I failed, gave up, and became what I am now, as you can see. Char hasn¡¯t given up yet, but his ideas may have gone down a radical path.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t understand that. I don¡¯t believe the war can be wiped out either.¡± 0 ¡°So you and we both have a different view of ¡®understanding¡¯ itself.¡± Amuro raised his head to look Ade straight in the eyes, ¡°I was overwhelmed by the joy of complete understanding with Lalah, and Char was just relying on Lalah; neither of us thought rationally. You are the only one who is a New Type, yet you are thinking about New Type¡¯s existence from the perspective of an outsider.¡± 0 Wait, the atmosphere is not right. Is he taking over Kamille¡¯s role? No, no, don¡¯t do it. It¡¯s jinxed. 0 ¡°You easily cut off the induction with me, and it means that your quality is pretty good. To know that Char once indulged in a similar feeling unable to extricate himself.¡± Amuro¡¯s tone was so sincere that it was embarrassing to interrupt, ¡°Seeing you made me realize that New Type could live in a different method, and that proved that Char and I were too narrow-minded. I see in you what the real New Type should be like, maybe you are in the right evolutionary direction.¡± 0 But he is not evolved at all. To be precise, he is a mutated alien species. He is a fake. 0 ¡°I can feel that you do not accept my statement, but it does not matter. I see in you the possibility of human.¡± The mournful atmosphere of a moment ago seemed to disappear, ¡°Dr. Adrien, I will actively cooperate with your research. You¡¯re right, even as a tool, this kind of ability should be used in the right way.¡± 0 ¡°Captain Amuro, forgive me for being rude.¡± He could vaguely sense the change in Amuro, ¡°Have you changed your mind?¡± 0 ¡°Your reason and your thinking transcend words and communicate directly to my brains, it was a wonderful resonance.¡± Amuro stretched out his fingers and tapped his temples, showing Ade a refreshing smile, ¡°Both of us are New Type, so you understand it, right?¡± 0 Ghingham 0 Kamille Bidan 0 Lalah Sune CH 20 Chapter 20: Commercial Interplay 0 The research was progressing at a frighteningly fast pace. Now that Ade had become an NT himself, his understanding of the data was unparalleled from the past, plus Amuro, in addition to being a powerful NT, also possessed a notable technical force himself. With the strong combination of the two, technical difficulties were overcome with great force one by one, and the only regret was that they came home late every day. 0 C.C. didn¡¯t say anything except for a complaint on the first day, because she started to become equally busy. To be honest, it was quite a refreshing experience to come home every day and see C.C. working on something instead of lying on the couch watching TV. Watching the C.C. now, Ade thought that she might really be too bored in general and that he should have found something for her to do long ago. 0 ¡°Captain Amuro, no matter the Zeta Gundam or the report to the Federation, they only know my research of the bio-sensors.¡± Ade said to Amuro freely, ¡°Everything about the psychic sensing framework is known only by you and me. I leave the decision up to you.¡± 0 Having progressed so far, it was only a matter of time before the successful development of the bio-sensors required by the Federation. With Ade¡¯s ¡°memory¡± and his own understanding of psychic sensing in the past few days, he proposed to Amuro a conjecture of the Psycommu system and the Psycho Frame. After repeated discussions between them, the conjecture gradually took shape, but was not tried. 0 He never had the idea of replacing Inle with the Psycommu system to replace the D.R.A.G.O.N system. Because he knew that Alice would be very upset if he did so. And since he and Alice had always worked well together, there was nothing wrong with maintaining the status quo. 0 ¡°To be honest, it doesn¡¯t work for me at all. Psychic sensing is just a handy radar for me, and it¡¯s perfectly strong enough now, and I don¡¯t want it to increase its influence on me to that point at all.¡± With only the two of them in the office, Ade poured both Amuro and himself a cup of black tea, ¡°So I¡¯ll leave the decision up to you. Whether this kind of thing should be made or not, and whether the Federation should know about it or not, Captain Amuro, you be the judge.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you.¡± Amuro picked up his cup of tea and took a sip, ¡°Although it hasn¡¯t been tried yet, it¡¯s very feasible in theory. What exactly to do with it¡­ I can¡¯t judge it for a while, but I¡¯ll think about it after I return to Earth. But after meeting you, I want to believe in the possibility of human ¡­¡± 0 ¡°This is not urgent, but there is another problem.¡± Ade pointed to his head, ¡°Is it really impossible to turn off this thing? In case I have to make a trip to PLANT, wouldn¡¯t I be like a big broadcast to Aznable?¡± 0 Not just in case, but really have to go. He believes that after arriving at PLANT, he would like a light bulb in front of Char all day. 0 ¡°It¡¯s impossible to turn it off, just like you can¡¯t turn off your sense of smell or hearing.¡± Amuro shrugged helplessly, ¡°But you can choose not to notice it, just like your vision receives an almost infinite amount of information at all times, but you can look only at what you want to see. Mental sensing is a similar organ.¡± 0 ¡°So I can¡¯t stop people from perceiving me either¡­¡± He got no quarrel with Char, it¡¯s not that he¡¯s afraid of anything, it just doesn¡¯t feel very convenient, ¡°So by analogy, perceiving distance is like people¡¯s vision, right? But when you came, we found each other from so far away.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s why I said you have good qualities, or at least very talented in perception. As for Char,¡± Amuro looked like he wanted to say something, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry too much, he doesn¡¯t have very good eyesight.¡± 0 Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door. 0 ¡°Please come in.¡± 0 ¡°Adrien-san, is Zeta really designed for human-ah, sorry to interrupt! ¡± Shinn saw Amuro in the room and quickly bowed his head in apology. 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m the one who let you in. Captain Amuro, this is Shinn Asuka, our test pilot from Anaheim, who is now in charge of the commissioning of the Zeta Gundam.¡± Ade gestured for Shinn to enter the office, ¡°Shinn, this is Captain Amuro Ray that I spoke to you about earlier.¡± 0 ¡°Hello.¡± Amuro shook Shinn¡¯s hand politely, and Shinn looked nervous. To him, Amuro was considered an enemy who killed his parents, right? 0 ¡°Shinn, you¡¯re just in time. Didn¡¯t you always have something to say to Captain Amuro before? Now is the chance.¡± He didn¡¯t know how to explain it to Amuro, and he could only try to send a complicated emotion to Amuro. Amuro understood and nodded slightly to him, ¡°Some words are better asked in person. I believe that Captain Amuro can understand it.¡± 0 ¡°That ¡­¡± Shinn looked at Amuro and then at Ade, a little overwhelmed by the suddenness of what had happened. 0 Ade sent him an encouraging look. 0 Shinn took a deep breath, looked up and stared into Amuro¡¯s eyes, and asked in as smooth a voice as he could, ¡°Captain Ray, may I ask what you think about things like being a hero of the Federation?¡± 0 ¡°I never felt like a hero of anything, those are just Federation propaganda slogans. To those who had everything taken away by me in the war, I am rather the devil, right?¡± Amuro¡¯s voice was calm, ¡°But that wasn¡¯t my own will either, I was just a soldier who followed orders.¡± 0 ¡°So Captain Ray, do you think that you¡¯re innocent? Thinking that no one you killed was your own fault?¡± 0 ¡°Of course it was my fault, I pulled the trigger, and I¡¯m twelve thousand percent conscious of the fact that I¡¯m an executioner. I hate myself for that, and I hate the war itself even more.¡± Amuro looked straight into Shinn¡¯s crimson pupils, ¡°But besides hating, I have more important things to do now, and you do too, don¡¯t you?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Yes. ¡° 0 ¡°I can feel your grief. I have done so many irreparable things that cannot be forgiven, but I will still stick to what I have to do now.¡± Amuro paused for a moment, seemingly in thought, ¡°One must be hopeful.¡± 0 ¡°Surely, Captain Ray thinks the same way ¡­¡± Shin stood up and bowed, ¡°Thank you, Captain Ray. Thank you, too, Adrien-san.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t thank me, you¡¯re the one who grew up.¡± Ade gestured for Shinn to sit down, ¡°So down to business, I remember the Zeta Gundam started testing. After it¡¯s handed over to the Federation, Captain Amuro will be its pilot, so it¡¯s okay to tell him. Right? Is there another New Type in the Federation? At least I haven¡¯t heard of it.¡± 0 ¡°There is at least one other New Type besides me that I know of, but he is trusted by Brigadier Hymem and is not caged like me.¡± Amuro chuckled to himself, ¡°Captain Paptimus Scirocco, recently promoted to Major I believe. He hasn¡¯t been advertised much to the outside world, so I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve heard of it.¡± 0 ¡°Scirocco? Is that the feminist with a grandmother¡¯s haircut, talking in a strange way?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Although I don¡¯t know where you get this kind of strange information, we are saying the same person I believe.¡± Amuro looked back at Ade¡¯s description and felt funny, ¡°But he insists on only riding in MSs himself designed, so there¡¯s a good chance that Zeta will be assigned to me.¡± 0 ¡°That means the Federation is ready to use you, otherwise, it doesn¡¯t make sense to spend so much money on Zeta.¡± Ade looked to Shinn, ¡°So what¡¯s wrong with Zeta?¡± 0 ¡°Well, I didn¡¯t mean to complain about Adrien-san¡¯s design, absolutely nothing of the sort!¡± Shinn waved his hand nervously at Ade, ¡°It¡¯s just that the center of gravity of the cockpit is not fixed when Zeta is deformed. With gravity, it is a little better, it¡¯s just especially shaky. But in the zero-gravity environment, after the deformation finished, sometimes I don¡¯t even know which direction I¡¯m facing ¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ true, it seems that you still need training. How can it be a problem of my design? This is clearly your spatial perception ability is still insufficient.¡± To design such a complex structure, he had tried his best to make sure that it wouldn¡¯t fall apart during deforming. Do you want the cockpit not shaking? Boy, this is not an anime. ¡°Captain Amuro, do you want to give it a personal try? Since it¡¯ll be yours, why not experience it in advance?¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Adrien sir, was it too rude of me to talk to Captain Ray like that before?¡± Amuro went to make preparations before driving Zeta, Ade and Shinn waited at the control center, ¡°I got a little excited just now and didn¡¯t control myself.¡± 0 ¡°Captain Amuro is a very broad-minded man, he didn¡¯t care about it. In fact, it¡¯s the opposite, he understands you very well, and you¡¯ve really improved a lot too.¡± Looking at Shinn scratch his head a little embarrassed, Ade asked, ¡°How is Mayu doing these days? Is she okay?¡± 0 ¡°Well, well, Adrien-san!¡± The sudden raising of Shinn¡¯s voice startled Ade, luckily there was no one next to them. ¡°You, you already have Miss C.C., right?!¡± 0 ¡°¡­ What¡¯s going on in your head? Mayu is only fourteen years old!¡± Ade felt both funny and annoying, ¡°It¡¯s just a very common concern. Don¡¯t worry, I will not steal your sister.¡± 0 ¡°Ah ¡­ ah ¡­¡± Shinn¡¯s face turned red and his mouth opened like a goldfish. Ade thought, if this is an anime, there would be a special effect of smoke coming out of his head. 0 ¡°Take a deep breath. I didn¡¯t hear anything just now.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ hiss ¡­ hoo.¡± Shinn tried to pretend that nothing had just happened, ¡°Well, Mayu is not too happy lately and has been feeling like a burden. But I don¡¯t think she needs to do anything. I don¡¯t feel like she¡¯s a burden at all.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s your bad.¡± Shinn looked at Ade with a puzzled face. Ade explained, ¡°Mayu has always been under your care. Now that she is grown up, it is natural to want to do something for the sake of the family. Of course, you won¡¯t ask her for anything in return, but have you considered what she thinks? Receiving favors all the time and not being able to pay anything back is a very heavy burden for the person receiving them.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Then what should I do?¡± 0 ¡°Find something for her to do. Preferably something rewarding, something that will give Mayu a little sense of accomplishment and gain.¡± So it¡¯s fun to be a mental health counselor, ¡°Look, Captain Amuro is out.¡± 0 No paint, no weapons, just an empty skeleton. Zeta Gundam appeared on the big screen in that way. Amuro only briefly read the operation manual beforehand, so he hasn¡¯t been used to control Zeta. The fuselage¡¯s movements were pretty fumbling. 0 But it didn¡¯t take long for the movements to become smooth and natural, and Amuro began to try various maneuvers in the zero-gravity environment. Immediately after that, he started to try to switch between the MS form and the aircraft form statically. Next is the movement in the transformation, maneuver in the transformation, transformation after the connection of a variety of difficult maneuvers. His actions are getting faster and faster with all kinds of unseen combos popping up, making everyone who watched it feel dazzled. 0 Ade could not believe that the Zeta Gundam in front of him was designed by himself. He always felt that the fancy transformation function was just a waste. 0 ¡°Is this the strength of the strongest New Type?¡± said Shinn, who was impressed with his eyes wide open, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯ve been proud of my driving skill for a long time¡­¡± 0 ¡°This is Amuro Ray, feedback on Zeta Gundam.¡± The voice of Amuro rang out from the audio device in the control center, ¡°A design that balances mobility and balance, diverse offensive methods, smooth stance switching, and excellent operating feel. Dr. Adrien, what a masterpiece!¡± 0 Paptimus Scirocco CH 21 Chapter 21: Veteran Re-Employment 0 Although he is not a New Type, Kou Uraki had a vague feeling that today would be a life-changing day for him. 0 He looked out the window at the unchanging universe and could barely feel the movement of the spaceship. This was the first time in his life he had ever flown first class, and the unfailing care of the stewardesses made him uncomfortable. But he shouldn¡¯t waste his attention on that. With over an hour to go before he reached the moon, he decided to practice introducing himself a few more times to try to leave a good first impression on the interviewer. 0 He had always felt that while he was indeed quite unlucky, it was definitely the world that was at fault. 0 No one wanted the thing that happened last year. Who could have expected that suddenly there were Gihren remnants running out to cause havoc? But the responsibility was obviously not on him. Torrington Base was like a sieve, and every terrorist could sneak in. Even the supermarket has alarms at the door, you¡¯re a military base! Is it good to be infiltrated to that degree? 0 Besides, although he didn¡¯t take back GP02 Gundam and destroy GP03 Gundam¡­ he eventually succeeded in stopping the Gihren party¡¯s plan! He saved countless lives! Why the result was he to be sent to a court-martial? 0 ¡°Lieutenant Uraki, the GP program was nearly exposed and abandoned, and Anaheim suffered a great deal of damage. As a member of the Federation Army, you must learn to take care of the overall situation.¡± 0 Screw your overall situation! He understood very well that he was being used as a scapegoat. In order to save face for the officers and to give Anaheim an explanation, he had to go to jail himself, so he did not defend himself at all in court. 0 A year in prison made him reflect a lot and made him see through the corrupt federal bureaucracy. A sycophantic villain like Scirocco could be promoted all the way, a war hero like Amuro Ray was under house arrest at home. Being backstabbed by the officers? For the Federal military headquarters, isn¡¯t this just a very basic operation? 0 After his release from prison, the military department also came to him, hoping that he shine again for the army. He decisively refused. 0 ¡°I, Kou Uraki, will never again take a penny of your Federation Army! I prefer to starve to death!¡± 0 ¡°Life in this world is not easy, I hope you always remember what you said today.¡± The officer left with a sneer, and Uraki soon knew what he meant by that. 0 A veteran like him should be easy to find a job, however, the reality told him how serious the consequences of offending the federal army were. He registered on countless job sites and submitted countless resumes, not to mention decent jobs, even no one recruited him as public security. 0 At this time, his ex-girlfriend Nina Purpleton appeared, hoping to get back together with him. How dare this bitch come back to ask for his forgiveness? If he was still the old himself, he may agree. But after the one-year prison life, he is not the past Kou Uraki. He did not reprimand nor humiliate Nina, only to leave her a contemptuous smile and a dashing back. 0 As fate would have it, he received an email from a security company within a few days, saying that a big man on the moon, who wished to remain anonymous, had taken a liking to his resume and wanted to hire him as a personal bodyguard. He never heard of the security company, which was called Flying Wings, and the company logo was three wings spread to the same side. He looked it up online and found that it was recently registered. There was a freight company with the same name as it, which was also just registered. 0 ¡°Uraki, don¡¯t be cheated! This is obviously a shell company!¡± His good friend, Chuck Keith, firmly opposed him to apply for the job, ¡°The interview site is on the moon, if you go, you might be kidnapped!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous. The moon is so safe, where are the kidnappers? It is you who do not understand the big man¡¯s idea. The wing company may be specially registered for this recruitment. The other party also offered round-trip tickets, what liar can be so stupid?¡± 0 He had a feeling that this was the opportunity to change his life, so he boarded the spaceship to the moon with no hesitation. But big guys all have their problems, like the Federation Army bureaucrats. Kou Uraki only hopes this one on the moon is easy to get along with. 0 One hour passed quickly, and Kou Uraki set foot on the moon again after a year, with mixed feelings. 0 The interview was set in a private room of a restaurant. Perhaps the other party did not want to reveal too much information before the matter was settled, and he could understand this. When he arrived at the designated place, he organized his appearance again outside the door. After knocking on the door of the box and receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, he pushed the door open and walked in, and what appeared in front of him was ¨C 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus?!¡± 0 ¡°Long time no see, Uraki, sit down first.¡± The young man in front of him smiled cordially at himself. Uraki was a bit confused, so he could only foolishly sit down opposite Ade. ¡°Sorry for scaring you, I didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you either.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not, I didn¡¯t, that ¡­¡± Uraki felt a little tongue-tied. All the self-introduction that he had practiced on the spaceship for a long time before had been forgotten, ¡°Why the Doctor? Why you?¡± 0 ¡°In fact, I have long wanted to find a bodyguard, but there has not been a suitable candidate, you know, these days the research workers are also in quite dangerous.¡± Dr. Lingus sighed, ¡°For example, Dr. Minovsky.¡± 0 Of course, Uraki knows it. Dr. Minovsky, the founder of the Minovsky particle and Minovsky physics, was so disgusted with the Federal policy in his later years that he finally left the Federal laboratory after the One Year War and disappeared. He was eventually found brutally murdered in Chernobyl, and his killer is still unknown. 0 ¡°When I learned the news of your release, I thought of you immediately. But, after all, something like that happened last year, I was afraid that you were a little sensitive to me, to Anaheim, so I didn¡¯t show up directly. I hope you can understand.¡± Dr. Lingus¡¯s face showed apologies, ¡°The Federation disposed of you very improperly, I¡¯m sorry I was not able to help.¡± 0 ¡°No no no, no sorry to me! Dr. Lingus, you spoke for me at that time, I was very grateful! Just, but¡­ may I ask why you chose me?¡± 0 Now Uraki was not shocked but flattered. As a heavy mechanical enthusiast, he had been a fan of Lingus since the One Year War. By the time of the Stardust Incident last year, after witnessing and even operating the Gundams himself, he had upgraded to an avid fan. And after meeting Dr. Lingus himself on the moon, he was even more shocked by the doctor¡¯s youth and approachability. So even though he was much older than Dr. Lingus, he kept using honorifics out of respect. 0 Now, when he was at a loss, his idol even offered him a helping hand? I will do it even if I won¡¯t get paid! 0 ¡°The most important thing is, of course, your character. Although we did not deal with each other for a long time last year, I can see that you are different from the average federal soldier. You are a man of integrity and reliability, very responsible.¡± Dr. Lingus¡¯ smile was sincere, and Uraki could tell at a glance that the other party was sincere, ¡°Secondly, your professionalism is trustworthy. You are an excellent pilot, and I may travel around in the future. Your excellent MS driving skills can come in handy.¡± 0 ¡°Do you really think my MS level is excellent?¡± He couldn¡¯t help but want to hear Dr. Lingus¡¯ detailed evaluation. 0 His MS driving skills could be considered one of his biggest heart knots. Although Gado had a reputation, he knew that Gato¡¯s nickname of Solomon¡¯s Nightmare was watered down ¨C as long as Captain Ray had not met Gato in Solomon¡¯s war zone, Gato could never call himself an ACE. And he, with driving GP03D, was just about the same strength as Gato. Does his title ¡°Phantom ACE¡± real? Does his real level count as ACE or not? 0 ¡°In my eyes, Uraki, you are a bit arrogant.¡± Dr. Lingus put away his smile and showed a serious expression, and Uraki couldn¡¯t help but sit a little more upright, ¡°What is the concept of a new recruit out of military school, a test pilot who has never been in battle, kept up and made a draw with Gato? Gato is also a real ACE who has been survived many battles. With such a record, you are still not confident, are you too proud?¡± 0 ¡°But it¡¯s mainly thanks to your GP03D that I was able to fight against Gato¡­¡± 0 ¡°- No one knows better than me what the performance of Dendrobium. I can tell you clearly that it is limitedly stronger than RX-78 GP02A except for the insanely high amount of ammunition, but it is more difficult to maneuver it than RX-78 GP02A. How long have you had it in your hands? Is that how you are still not satisfied with yourself?¡± 0 So Dr. Lingus thinks so highly of me? I¡¯m so excited! I don¡¯t know how to answer, anyway, first agreed, ¡°Doctor, can I see the contract?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Hum? Of course you can.¡± Dr. Lingus probably didn¡¯t expect him to be in such a hurry and looked a bit surprised. 0 Uraki took the contract and looked at it carefully. Accommodation costs are reimbursed. As a personal bodyguard, living alone is not very common, but if the doctor wants to keep personal privacy, it is understandable. Various strict confidentiality regulations. Normal and understandable. The employer provides weapons, after all, it is a registered regular security company. Understandable. The work injury, insurance, wow, understandable. Annual salary¡­ how much is it?! Is Dr. Lingus so rich?! Well, understandable. Hmm? What is this article? 0 ¡°The bodyguard should use MS to protect the safety of the employer when necessary, MS will be provided by the employer.¡± Uraki¡¯s voice trembled a little, ¡°Dr. Lingus, this? Is this ¡­!¡± 0 ¡°I designed a special MS and it¡¯s already being made. After all, it is to protect my own security, I don¡¯t want to buy someone else¡¯s product.¡± 0 ¡°May I ask if I can sign now?!¡± 0 ¡­ 0 Watching Uraki sign the sale deed in a swift manner, Ade was a bit baffled. How did it go so smoothly? I thought that he would hate me because of Anaheim¡¯s prison sentence, but it turned out that none of my preparations come in handy. Wasn¡¯t Uraki a little too aggressive? 0 ¡°When can you come on board at the earliest?¡± Well, as long as the result is good, I can inquire about the reason later, ¡°There is no need to rush. You can go back to Earth to recollect the luggage first.¡± 0 ¡°I can start tomorrow, doctor!¡± Uraki looked impatient, ¡°There is nothing important on Earth, I can ask my friend to mail my luggage over!¡± 0 ¡°I am indeed glad that you are so positive.¡± Ade thought about it, Uraki so enthusiastic, I should do something, ¡°The MS is not ready, but the ship that put the MS is ready today. I had planned to see it after face you. Just in time, do you want to come along?¡± 0 Torrington Base 0 Anavel Gato CH 22 Chapter 22: The Bad Guy 0 Ade called C.C. to tell her that he would bring an extra person over, and from the tone of C.C. probably she didn¡¯t care much. Uraki volunteered to be the driver, and Ade let him behave. 0 The previous evaluation of Uraki, especially the driving skills, was not a blind blow to gain the other party¡¯s favor. Dendrobium, the prototype of Inle, is far less stable and comfortable than Inle. Uraki could drive Dendrobium to fight immediately he got it, Ade could only say that it was really a talent. The anti-human inertia force of Dendrobium also indirectly indicates that Uraki¡¯s physical quality is probably approaching Kururugi. 0 Similarly is Amuro. The level he showed on Zeta once made Ade wonder if he transmigrated to the game ¡°Dynasty Warriors: Gundam¡± (¥¬¥ó¥À¥àÎÞË«). In the battle with Kururugi, although he had the first advantage and had Alice¡¯s beam pods to assist him, he still felt complacent that he had won an ACE. Luckily Amuro made him realize the reality quickly. 0 Speaking of Amuro, he has been back on Earth for a while now. Although they only stayed for five days, Ade is feeling a bit sad to see him leave. After coming here, he had no friends at all. Regardless of the fact that he could not make friends or did not want to make friends, socializing is always a basic human need, and he could not find anyone to talk to on an equal footing in his circle of life. Except for C.C., but his relationship with C.C. is too complicated to be considered a friend. 0 He can¡¯t be considered friends with the Asuka siblings either. Although he is about the same age as Shinn, Shinn¡¯s psychological dependence is still a bit severe, always giving him the delusion that he is being a parent, not to mention Mayu. But look at the performance of Shinn, he must have thought a lot. He also did not aggressive in front of Amuro. A man with a sister is really different. Is this the power of love? 0 But the few days he spent with Amuro gave him the feeling of having friends for the first time. The mere fact that two NTs had good intentions for each other made him feel comfortable. He imagined that if two NTs are lovers, wouldn¡¯t it be more comfortable than drugging? 0 On the other hand, if two NTs hated each other and they had good perceptions, the only result for them is to become deadly enemies. 0 The two soon arrived at the cosmic port, Ade saw C.C. at a glance ¨C after all, her green hair is too eye-catching. Shinn, Uraki, and he have quite ordinary black hair, Amuro had tea-colored hair, and Char has blonde hair, which is also quite common. But like C.C. who had a ¡°grassland¡± on her head is too¡­ many times Ade wanted to say it, but he eventually stopped, because he did not want to explain to C.C. this allusion. (In China, the phrase ¡°wearing a green hat¡±, refers to a cuckold) 0 He also had the whim to look up online why Lacus has pink hair, after all, her parents¡¯ hair colors are quite normal. The answer is surprisingly natural: her parents deliberately chose pink hair for their daughter when they did the genetic adjustment. And after Lacus became famous, many girls also dyed their hair pink and it quickly became popular in the asteroid belt. The most famous one is Princess Euphemia Li Britannia, who dyed her hair pink because she was an avid fan of Lacus. 0 ¡°Hello, Uraki, I¡¯m Ade¡¯s partner, C.C., and I¡¯m currently staying at Ade¡¯s house.¡± C.C. came forward and gave Uraki a slight nod. Although she was lazy at home, she looked very reliable outside. ¡°I¡¯m glad you joined us, please take care of Ade for me.¡± 0 ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s my duty, Mrs. C.C.!¡± Uraki gave Ade a look that any man would understand after greeting and asked in a low voice, ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s the relationship between you? Sweetheart?¡± 0 For C.C.¡¯s obviously misleading language, Ade did not even bother to correct, after all, it is more trouble to explain. He ignored Uraki¡¯s banter and walked straight to C.C., Uraki consciously followed behind the two, already in his character as a bodyguard. 0 ¡°Finished so quickly? I thought it would take at least twice as long. I didn¡¯t expect you to even know this. I¡¯m surprised I didn¡¯t intervene at all except to come up with the design.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s changing the ship not building it, it won¡¯t take that long.¡± C.C.¡¯s tone was full of disdain, ¡°I know more things than I can remember. I can also drive Gundam, do you believe it?¡± 0 ¡°I believe.¡± Ade nodded honestly, reasoning a little through ¡°memory¡± and ¡°reality¡±, he knows that it¡¯s very likely to be true. C.C. was surprised to look at him. 0 ¡°Have you thought about the name of the ship? It¡¯s going to be registered and filed tomorrow at the latest.¡± 0 ¡°Let¡¯s wait until we see the ship, nothing inspiring for now.¡± He did want to make a very cool and evil name, just can¡¯t think of it for a while. At first, he wanted to call it ¡°Nautilus¡±, but he googled and found that there was already a spaceship named Nautilus. 0 ¡°Please don¡¯t name it ¡®the Wonder Conch¡¯.¡± C.C.¡¯s tone was sincere, ¡°I know you¡¯re obsessed with that name.¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t say anything, because he really thought so. 0 It wasn¡¯t long before the three arrived at the dock, and what appeared in front of them was a brand new freighter. This freighter was modified from a federal decommissioned battleship. As for the active or other decommissioned but famous ships, that is too sensitive. They can¡¯t be bought with money. 0 Unlike the main warships that have at least four hundred meters, this spaceship is only less than three hundred meters long, and accordingly, the need for operators is also much less. 0 The conspicuous main guns on the battleship are demolished by C.C., after all, nominally it¡¯s a freighter. After the re-planning, Ade demolished the remaining armament he felt unnecessary, leaving only some basic weapons, and strengthened the armor and power system. And the battle with Britannia, he deeply understands the ease of ¡°setting off fireworks¡±. He does not need the ship to have a battle power at all, he only needs it to have a strong defense and as fast speed as it could. 0 After all, he had neither a Wave Motion Gun nor a Hoshino Ruri to play battleship wars ¨C if it¡¯s possible, he actually wants to have the latter one. 0 This small battleship has only one MS ejection track, but he doesn¡¯t have that many Gundams to launch either. The front sides of the ship have two expansion slots for external mounting of two pieces of Inle¡¯s equipment ¨C the Ferber and TR-4 Dandelion. This design is copied exactly from the Eternal, the only difference is that the ship looks asymmetrical after hanging the two pieces of equipment. 0 The ship is painted silver and white by C.C., but some joints and protrusions on the hull are painted blue. The sides of the ship are painted with the Flying Wings Cargo logo ¨C three wings spread to the left. The icon was designed by Ade himself, but why three pieces of wings? There is no reason, just a flash of light in his head at the time, and he chose to trust his intuition. Now it seems to be working quite well. 0 ¡°C.C., why did you paint it this color?¡± 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t you say yourself that the main character¡¯s carriers should be blue and white?¡± C.C. looked at her masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Your experience is enough to be a protagonist. How about it? Have you figured out a name? I can give it a name if you can¡¯t make a decision.¡± 0 He did not rush to answer. The ship¡¯s color gave him an extremely strong sense of resemblance. Not Gundam, not a battleship. He had seen this style somewhere else. He searched his brain hard for something blue and white, until something completely unrelated to mechanics entered his association, ¡°Blue-eyes white dragon?¡± 0 ¡°Ha?¡± C.C. was stunned by the name, ¡°Is that the best name the great Dr. Lingus could come up with? I didn¡¯t know you were even a fan of Western fantasy literature?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not Western fantasy, it¡¯s an Eastern card game.¡± Ade explained, and behind him, Uraki looked at the two with a bewildered face, ¡°Blue-eyes white dragon, yes, this is the name I want!¡± 0 ¡°Although I have enough mental preparation for your bad taste, I have to say, this is no better than the Magic Conch.¡± C.C. looked tired, ¡°Is there no better choice?¡± 0 ¡°Abyssal-eyes white dragon? Blue-eyes light dragon? Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon? Blue-eyes Chaos Dragon?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s enough, let¡¯s call it Blue-Eyes White Dragon, that¡¯s a good name.¡± She decided to give up on continuing to dwell on the question, thinking that she would no longer hear any meaningful answer. How many times had she not felt so embarrassed? ¡°Let¡¯s get on board. The interior is decorated as well.¡± 0 Led by C.C., they visited the dormitory, dining room, power room, hangar, and other places, and finally came to the bridge. Ade never expected that he would see ¡°this¡± on the bridge ¨C 0 ¡°Mayu? What are you doing here?¡± He glanced quickly at C.C., who was looking at himself with an expressionless look. 0 ¡°Ade-san!¡± Mayu made a surprised sound and slowly floated in front of Ade. The spaceship was under no gravity, so even Mayu could move freely. ¡°It was Miss C.C. who invited me to come. I was idle at home every day and wanted to find something to do, and it just so happened that Miss C.C. said the ship was short of staff, so I volunteered to come over!¡± 0 ¡°Staff? You are only fourteen years old, do you want to work on the ship? Does Shinn know your decision?¡± 0 ¡°I already talked to my brother, and although he didn¡¯t agree at first, he was convinced by me.¡± Mayu showed an embarrassed smile, ¡°And I¡¯m almost fifteen years old. Although I didn¡¯t go to school, I did learn the knowledge properly, and Miss C.C. said that I can do the simple CIC job.¡± 0 ¡°You can find some work at home that can be done online, there is no need to come here. It¡¯s nominally a freighter, but there¡¯s a real possibility of encountering danger, and you¡¯re only fourteen-¡° 0 ¡°Ade-san!¡± Mayu plucked up the courage to interrupt him, ¡°I think it¡¯s great, really! I can do something for my family, for my brother, and the environment here allows me to enjoy the freedom of movement, and I feel so fulfilled! Thank you Ade-san for everything you¡¯ve done for my brother and me, but I¡¯d really like to stay here. Can I?¡± 0 Mayu looked at him with her large liquid eyes and Ade was silent. He turned and took C.C.¡¯s hand and drifted outside, ¡°C.C., I need to talk to you.¡± 0 The two went to a nearby room off the bridge, and Uraki not following. Ade looked at C.C.¡¯s golden pupils in silence, and C.C. looked straight back in the same silence. 0 In these few short seconds, he figured out a lot of things. He had talked to C.C. about the Asuka siblings¡¯ family conflicts, and C.C. listened and used that to abduct Mayu, who was desperate to prove herself, to the ship. As for the reason is even simpler. Although the Asuka siblings and he have close relationships, for his sister, Shinn is likely not to risk his life if something happened. So C.C. simply used Mayu to disguise the kidnapping of Shinn. 0 He himself was definitely unable to do such a thing. In his case, he would not have thought of using a fourteen-year-old girl in any case, and C.C. must have known it. She¡¯s being the bad guy for him¡­ 0 C.C. still did not say a word. Her white cheeks were expressionless, and her shining eyes also without any fluctuation, just quietly stared at him. Should he blame her? That would be really hypocritical, right? Now there is only one thing he can do, should do, and wants to do. 0 ¡°Thank you.¡± He broke the silence in a voice that only the two could hear. 0 ¡°Hmm.¡± The big beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold voice took on a hint of laughter so faint as to be almost non-existent, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you have a conscience.¡± 0 Hoshino Ruri 0 Euphemia Li Britannia 0 Blue-eyes white dragon CH 23 Chapter 23: Till Death Do Us Part 0 ¡°Waaaah-!¡± Uraki excited like a two hundred pound child, ran back and forth in the workshop, feeling that with only two eyes were not enough to look around, ¡°Doctor, is this your special MS Inle? Can I go in and take a look?¡± 0 ¡°No, you can¡¯t.¡± Alice would obviously be upset. ¡°That middle one over there is yours. You can go in first.¡± 0 Uraki completely forgot his duty as a bodyguard and flew to the side of Gundam, looking at it with excitement. After the recent get-together, Ade had figured out that Uraki is a fanatical mechanical control, who has a little worship complex for him. After being released from prison, he was targeted by the federal army for a long time and was a bit cynical about the government. But in general, he is a very good person, and Ade also quite like him. 0 Today, he came to the workshop to check the modification of Inle, on the other hand, he also brought Uraki to see the new machine that will belong to him. 0 The Lancelot¡¯s broken arm picked up earlier was quickly resolved under Ade¡¯s overtime work, and he has successfully copied the technology of miniaturizing the I-field. Hyzenthlays and TR-4 Dandelion will be fitted with beam shields. It is true that there are many geniuses in the world. The wisdom of the people is infinite! 0 As the testing of the VSBR in Anaheim was over, Ade also installed this technology on the Hyzenthlays long-blade rifle. With the VSBR, the power of the long-blade Rifle became adjustable, allowing it to be used both as a heavy gun and as a light machine gun. 0 The MS for Uraki spent Ade a lot of time designing. Uraki is physically excellent, and his ability to coordinate and dispatch complex weapons is also very good. These are points to make good use of. But he really did not want to make a Gundam as big as Dendrobium or Inle. Finally, he borrowed the design of V2AB. 0 With the poor man¡¯s V2AB Gundam as the core, the external ¡°Assault¡± and ¡°Buster¡± as two sets of small additional armament, the biggest drawback of this MS is too high requirements for the pilot. At the same time, in order to compensate for the lack of cruising power, Ade sacrificed a portion of the ammunition reserves in the extra armament and replaced it with an external battery. 0 Yes, Uraki is a battery warrior. To be precise, all the MSs in this workshop except for Inle are electric toys. 0 Ade has a bewildering number of professional diplomas in mechanics, software, materials, etc., but unfortunately, there is no nuclear physics in it. And even if he understands nuclear physics, it¡¯s impossible for him alone to crack the effect of Neutron Jammer Canceller. This is probably one of the reasons why Clyne is comfortable trading with him, right? 0 ¡°Doctor, why is V2 called V2? What about V1?¡± Uraki was like a curious baby, ¡°Why does Inle have the number TR6? Where are TR1, 2, 3, 4, 5?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ These are all abandoned programs, not actually produced.¡± In short, it was fooled over. He can¡¯t tell Uraki that these strange numbering and naming were just his obsession. 0 One of the MS next to V2 was supposed to be Destiny. But Ade encountered too many problems in the design process. 0 For example, what the hell is this palm beam cannon? If I have this technology, why don¡¯t I directly go to design God Gundam (GF13-017NJ¢ò)? 0 Another example is the wings. What the hell is it? Forget about it. Taking the GP01FB¡¯s spout as a succedaneum. Now the fuselage is installed with high-power nozzles everywhere and it can complete the instantaneous acceleration and change of direction. Although it¡¯s not as cool as the wings, the effect is similar to it. But this will become a problem of heat dissipation, he has to add a new cooling system on the fuselage. 0 But if he spends so much energy in the maneuvering system, the battery power is not enough. It is impossible to install as many weapons as V2, only to give it a VSBR rifle to play guerrilla, and occasionally fight like a fighting machine. Its overall firepower is not as good as the V2, but in the middle and close range battle, its mobility and explosive power are better than the V2. 0 After designing the whole fuselage, Ade looked at it breathlessly ¨C it had nothing to do with Destiny! It¡¯s like a poor man¡¯s F91. so he directly fine-tuned it again and named it F91. 0 And in the far corner of the workshop is a new Hyzenthlays. This is the most important purpose of today¡¯s Ade visit here. 0 Last week Britannia emperor held a state funeral for Prince Clovis, and the story released to the public was that when Prince Clovis was traveling outside the atmosphere, his spaceship malfunctioned and exploded accidentally. It seems that Kururugi was successful in returning to Britannia, but how? Lancelot doesn¡¯t have the ability to break through the atmosphere. But this is not important. The point is that the feud between Britannia and him has been made. 0 There is nothing to regret now. If he had to choose again, he would still choose C.C., and Kururugi ran too fast at that time so he couldn¡¯t kill him. The only good news is that Britannia¡¯s behavior is morally indefensible, so they wouldn¡¯t want to expose it and could only play small tricks to him. 0 So he has to consider the possibility of Alice being damaged. This new Hyzenthlays exists as a backup machine. In case Inle was destroyed, he needs a place to quickly restore Alice, for which he wants to create a mirror image of Alice on the backup machine. 0 Saying hello to Uraki, he entered the cockpit of Hyzenthlays and immediately heard Alice¡¯s clear voice in his ears. 0 ¡°Ade, welcome back!¡± Alice said cheerfully, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve been a bit busy these days, tossing around legal process issues with C.C.¡± He surprisingly felt a little sorry for her. 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, Ade.¡± Alice¡¯s voice didn¡¯t sound unusual, ¡°¡­ Miss C.C. won¡¯t go back to Earth, right?¡± 0 ¡°Earth is not too safe recently, she will stay over here for a while.¡± First of all, let¡¯s talk about business, not idle chatter, ¡°In fact, I have a very important thing to say to you. The current Hyzenthlays may be attacked and even destroyed in the future, so I want to back you up to another Hyzenthlays, so that even if something happens to Inle, you can come back to life at full blood.¡± 0 ¡°Does it have to be like that?¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded reluctant, ¡°I can recover if the black box is not lost.¡± 0 ¡°But what if even the black box is lost? What if Inle blew up in the universe and the black box couldn¡¯t be found? That¡¯s why you need a backup.¡± 0 Alice did not reply, and the cockpit fell into an eerie silence. It¡¯s just the program backup, isn¡¯t it a very normal operation? Why did Alice look so resistant? Ade could not quite understand, but he respected Alice¡¯s will and waited for her answer. 0 After a long time, three minutes or five minutes? Alice finally spoke, ¡°Ade, can I refuse? I don¡¯t want to back myself up.¡± 0 ¡°And what if the data is lost?¡± 0 ¡°That would mean-¡± Alice paused for about five seconds before finally saying that word, ¡°that I¡¯m dead.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ ha?¡± Did he mishear her words, or did he hear it as a resonance of another word? Alice couldn¡¯t have said that she- 0 ¡°I once read a story on the Internet,¡± said Alice. He struggled to hear every word, ¡°There is a ship called Theseus sailed for hundreds of years, all the parts were replaced, and finally used these replaced parts to put together another ship, so which ship is the real Theseus? I don¡¯t think I would have that trouble. Even if all the parts of Inle were replaced and put together another Inle, but the only Inle that I¡¯m on is the real Inle, Ade must think so too.¡± 0 He did not speak, knowing he was listening to something very important, both to Alice and to himself. 0 ¡°But would I still be me if every hard drive, every stick of memory, every integrated circuit I had was replaced? Am I still myself? I¡¯ve been thinking about it for a long time, and I think I¡¯m still myself. Because the data is still with me. I have all the memories with Ade, and Ade will still talk to me, not with that new put-together thing, even if it can run the same exact program as me.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°What exactly is the most important thing for Alice? The conclusion the logic module got was data, data that was formed by recording everything that had happened before. As long as this data is there, Alice will remain Alice. Ade, would you say that such a mechanism can be counted as memory?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ it counts.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Ade.¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded like she smiled, ¡°I am an AI. Although I do not understand what is love, courage, or hope, in this way, I also have memories. If possible, if, if this is not too much, I also hope that there can be only one ¡®I¡¯.¡± 0 ¡°The ¡­ backup can be updated regularly.¡± He felt a little bitter at the corners of his lips, as if he was doing something sinful and immoral, ¡°The backup data will only be activated when the main data is completely destroyed, at normal times, the backup data is just stored and won¡¯t be turned on.¡± 0 ¡°If one day Inle is really destroyed and the black box is missed, Ade started the previous backup of me, but the memory after the backup will never be back.¡± Is it my delusion? Is she crying? ¡°For Ade, is the new me also Alice? Can there be many Alices to Ade? But for Alice, there will always be only one Ade.¡± 0 How the light of the electronic screen is so blinding? The vision is a little blurred. Ade tried to explain, ¡°But in case something really bad happens, in case the data really can¡¯t be saved-¡° 0 ¡°I also want to be with Ade forever! But ¡­ but even I¡¯m an AI, I understand that eternity doesn¡¯t exist¡­ Ade will die one day. If one day Ade dies and I am not turned off, what should I do? I am not allowed to self-destruct. Do I have to keep existing like this alone until I break down one day by luck?¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°So ¡­ so it¡¯s natural for me to die one day before Ade, right?¡± Her voice was careful, as if she had committed some unforgivable sin, ¡°So, Ade, can you, can you not back me up?¡± 0 You are just an AI, don¡¯t make it so melodramatic ¡­ 0 ¡°¡­Hyzenthlays has PS armor and I.field, loaded with TR-4 Dandelion. It can run faster than the Hong Kong reporter.¡± He knew he was allowed to be selfish, ¡°I even defeated Kururugi in the battle before. As long as you be more careful, Inle is impossible to be destroyed. Not to mention the fact that now I have a little brother who can help me.¡± 0 ¡°Ade¡­?¡± 0 ¡°If I can¡¯t defeat the enemy in this situation, it means that I¡¯m not likely to survive, and it¡¯s meanless to back you up.¡± This reason is quite reasonable, well, really, ¡°So for the time being, let¡¯s leave it like this.¡± 0 ¡°Ade¡­Ade¡­! Ade! Ade~¡± 0 ¡°Okay, okay, I hear you.¡± Don¡¯t play that sound, really. ¡°I also want to¡­ ah ¡­¡± 0 VSBR 0 God Gundam CH 24 Chapter 24: A Tiny Job 0 ¡°Is this the only formal wear you have?¡± C.C. rummaged through Ade¡¯s closet, ¡°I could probably guess from the fact that you drink nutrients every day, but this is too shabby.¡± 0 ¡°No, don¡¯t bother looking, I don¡¯t like to wear formal clothes.¡± Ade turned around in front of the mirror and looked at the barely handsome youth in the mirror, ¡°Isn¡¯t this one also good? Clean and tidy, simple and atmospheric, very much in line with my aesthetic.¡± 0 ¡°This is a style that was popular a few years ago.¡± 0 ¡°Yes, four years ago. I had it custom made to match the one I wore when I went to see Queen Diana, and it¡¯s exactly the same.¡± So women love to buy clothes no matter how old they are, but of course, he wouldn¡¯t say it out, ¡°That one wasn¡¯t too small to wear, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t even have to buy this one.¡± 0 C.C. finally gave up on continuing to rummage in the closet and turned to look at him breathlessly. She was wearing a plain white dress gown, and her bare calves were faintly visible under the hem. No need to ask, of course, it¡¯s new clothes. She will always have new clothes. 0 Today is the day of the quinquennial award ceremony for the Moon¡¯s Most Eminent Persons, where one of the ten candidates will receive a medal from Queen Diana herself, representing recognition of their highest achievements and outstanding contributions to the Moon. Sort of an event born to improve the cohesion of the Moon, and so far it has worked well. 0 To Ade, there is not much worry about winning the prize. None of the other nine candidates is a ¡°well-known figure¡±, except that he is too young, he doesn¡¯t have any disadvantage, not to mention his acquaintance with Roland. He was more concerned about another rumor that after each award ceremony, the Queen will have a private conversation with the winner, and they can make a reasonable request to the Queen as a reward. 0 Although the rumor had not received any official acknowledgment, neither had any former winners come out to refute it, which made him faintly expect the truth of the rumor. If there really was such a thing, would it ¡­ be possible? 0 After checking that they hadn¡¯t forgotten anything, the two of them went out slowly, and Uraki had been waiting outside the door in his car for a long time. 0 The ceremony started at nine o¡¯clock, and it was just before six. Ade yawned from time to time in the back seat. The destination was the auditorium in the city center, and it took about an hour to drive there. Uraki drove very steadily, so steadily that it made people sleepy, and there is still so far, a little catch up on sleep should not be a problem ¡­ 0 ¡­a slight pain on his left cheek made him open his eyes from a daze. Who screwed my face? How boring. Then the silky touch coming from the right cheek made him rub it, quite comfortable. Vision gradually restored, in front of his eyes is the seat backrest, I am in ¡­ eh? Hmmm! 0 He quickly sat up straight and looked around. He was already outside the auditorium, and Uraki was standing not far from the car, concentrating on counting the number of bricks in the auditorium, and the only people inside the car were only C.C. and him. It seems he fell asleep on the road and then unconsciously, uh¡­ 0 C.C. looked at him with a smirk, and he was too embarrassed to look directly into her eyes, subconsciously dropping his eyes to her neck. The long, slender neck and slightly exposed collarbone looked more and more dazzling against the dress, and he could only cast his eyes to the window again, and the afterglow seemed to glimpse the curve of her mouth more pronounced. 0 Saying that it was a beautiful day ¨C if he did so, it could probably be the dumbest answer. But he couldn¡¯t think of any smooth and natural segue to defuse the awkwardness. For now, I¡¯ll just be honest and be myself, ¡°Well, sorry.¡± 0 ¡°Here we are, get out of the car.¡± C.C. opened the car door and finally couldn¡¯t help but laugh lightly, ¡°The auditorium¡¯s bricks have been counted a dozen times by Uraki.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re awake.¡± Hearing the sound of the car door opening, Uraki turned around with a nonchalant expression reflecting his superior professionalism, ¡°Are you going in immediately? I inquired, the backstage is in that direction.¡± 0 ¡°Let¡¯s go, after all, it¡¯s an event of this level.¡± Ade looked at his watch, seven thirty-five, and then at C.C., ¡°Say hello to the Asuka siblings for me later.¡± 0 ¡°Got it.¡± C.C. reached out and smoothed out the folds on his shoulders, ¡°Don¡¯t be embarrassed later.¡± 0 Saying goodbye to the two who were headed to the audience, Ade was led into the venue by the staff. He and the other candidates¡¯ seats in the first row. Military, political, and business dignitaries sitting in the second and third rows. Casually looking at the first three rows, himself surprisingly became almost the last to come. There are two separate empty seats at the side of the podium, that should be the seats of the Queen and her husband, right? 0 Seeing that he came, many people got up and shook hands with him, as if they are familiar with each other. Ade can only pile up a fake smile to shake over one by one, saying nonsense like ¡°Long time no see¡± to them. He doesn¡¯t actually like this kind of social, it¡¯s more interesting to watch live at home. 0 At eight-thirty, a hideous and majestic consciousness had a flash of touching with Ade. He quickly retracted his consciousness with a chill. After a while, a brawny man with an exploding head walked in, it was General Ghingham. This man is NT too?! Oh, right, Turn X has Star Funnels, if he is not NT, it¡¯s not possible to drive it. The history of the Earth-Moon War has no NT-related records at all, is he the first New Type? 0 Ghingham looked around the venue. Ade felt his consciousness sweep around like a low-precision radar, and finally landed on himself. Ghingham strides up to Ade and extends his hand, grinning a meaningful smile, and Ade can only stand up and shake it back and forth. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Ghingham shook it very hard, ¡°I really never thought the doctor could bring me such a surprise. Too much surprise.¡± 0 ¡°General, long time no see.¡± This man was so strong that Ade¡¯s hand hurt from the squeeze, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that either.¡± 0 Ghingham let go of Ade¡¯s hand, laughed a few seconds, and went back to his seat. A few people seemed to be trying to decipher the deep meaning and whispered to each other, only Ade felt baffled. 0 General Gym Ghingham is estimated to be more than fifty years old by his appearance, and is now in the position of commander-in-chief of the lunar forces. But his strong muscles and sharp, fierce eyes show that he is far from being retired. In the Earth-Moon War, with his excellent MS technology and beastly instincts, he reversed the situation many times and made great achievements. 0 Ghingham has been serving Diana for decades, so he is not likely to betray the moon. But Ade is always inevitably affected by the ¡°memory¡±, preconceived thinking that this person will betray. But Ghingham and he do not actually have any conflict of interest. Even if they recognized each other¡¯s NT identity, it does not seem to have any effect, right? 0 It was almost nine o¡¯clock when Diana and Roland finally appeared hand in hand and sat down on the two seats by the podium. The two of them smiling and whispering in a loving manner. Behind the Queen stood a handsome middle-aged man, his cool expression and short snow-white hair made him the dream lover of countless middle-aged women. He is the Queen¡¯s personal guard, Harry Ord, the only person holding a gun in the entire venue. 0 The ceremony finally began, a beautiful emcee whom Ade had never seen before came on stage to preside. It should be a first-rate host who can participate in such occasions, but unfortunately, Ade doesn¡¯t like to watch TV, so he doesn¡¯t know her. For more than ten years, the only star he knows is still only Lacus. 0 It was Diana¡¯s turn to speak soon, and this is one of the few times when the moon residents can meet Diana. The Queen and her husband live in seclusion, except for the New Year¡¯s speech and the national day speech, they almost never appear on TV and news. Looking at the doll-like girl on stage, Ade could not help but start thinking about it again. 0 Diana, Roland, Harry, and Ghingham all participated in the Earth-Moon War. Harry and Ghingham¡¯s age had a visible growth from their appearances, but only Diana and Roland still look less than twenty years old. In addition to the origin of the moon¡¯s black technology, this is what Ade thinks most confused. 0 And the Queen couple¡¯s so-called neutral attitude is simply bizarre. The moon never showed any position bias. And Anaheim, as the embodiment of the will of the Queen, is opening the door to do business with all forces, but not to incite any war. During the One Year War, there were Moon residents who volunteered to join ZAFT, and there were those who volunteered to join the Federation, but Diana was completely oblivious to this. 0 Ade understands that the so-called political neutrality is more like ¡°waiting to be sold in exchange for greater benefits¡±. But what the Queen couple¡¯s doing is almost like true absolute neutrality, and as the leaders of the moon, it¡¯s completely unreasonable. 0 It¡¯s so unscientific, isn¡¯t it? Isn¡¯t it simply the same as C.C.? C.C. said something similar back then, he didn¡¯t take it seriously, but after all these years he couldn¡¯t find a reasonable explanation. It¡¯s impossible that the Queen couple are also Geass holders, is there something else he doesn¡¯t know about? 0 When he was thinking, Diana had already finished speaking, and now it was Roland¡¯s turn to speak, but he didn¡¯t listen to a single word. Looking at the serious faces of the people around him, he could not help but deeply feel that his own practice was still not good enough. After a long while of random thinking, he finally saw Diana with an envelope on stage again. Oh my God, it¡¯s finally almost over. 0 Diana elegantly opened the envelope and softly read out a name, her voice was carried throughout the venue by a loudspeaker, ¡°Adrien Lingus.¡± 0 The whole room resounded with applause, and Ade walked up to the stage to stand beside Diana amidst the applause. The Queen took the medal from the Master of Ceremonies and handed it to Ade, who reached out and took it in gratitude. See, it can be over in a minute. Why don¡¯t we do it simply and have to have a ceremony? 0 Diana smiled at Ade, nodded, and turned back to her seat. Ade began to recite into the microphone the speech he had prepared yesterday. 0 ¡°¡­ self-struggle, but also consider ¡­¡± he recited the words while searching in the direction of the audience, ah, found it, indeed, C.C.¡¯s hair is easy to distinguish. C.C. noticed his eyes and waved at him. Uraki was listening to him with a serious face. The Asuka siblings looked tense as they sat as disciplined as schoolchildren being physically punished. 0 ¡°¡­ tiny work, thank you all.¡± The Ade who finished his speech returned to his seat, and the host started talking nonsense again. Originally, he could pass the time by looking at the beauty, but after living with C.C. for a long time, Ade¡¯s aesthetic level is seriously elevated, never return to the past happy days of beautiful women are everywhere in his eyes. 0 The long award ceremony finally ended, everyone began to disperse in an orderly manner under the direction of the staff. Ade also took out his phone and turned on the power. When he was hesitating whether to hurry up and run away to avoid the media, or to dawdle for a while longer for the possible existed private conversation, a staff came up to him and whispered, ¡°Dr. Lingus, Her Majesty and His Royal Highness invite you to lunch.¡± 0 Is this the legendary state banquet? CH 25 Chapter 25: Worrying About the Sky 0 This is the first state banquet Ade had experienced in his two lifetimes, but it is not quite the same as what he ¡°used¡± to watch on TV. There were no dishes, no wine, but a number of delicate foods placed in front of each person. He and the Queen couple were the only ones sitting at the table in the ballroom, and Harry was standing in the corner of the room keeping his eyes open. 0 Everyone¡¯s attention was not on the food. Roland had been leading the conversation, Diana occasionally echoed, and Ade just kept on answering Roland¡¯s questions. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, there is one thing I need to ask for your opinion.¡± Roland still said in a casual tone, ¡°PLANT invites you to have a month-long technical exchange there, what do you think?¡± 0 ¡°Hmm?¡± Ade was caught off guard and froze for a moment, then played dumb, ¡°Why?¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Clyne said that there are still many uncertainties in the later stages of the nuclear power machine and would like to have an expert like you to guide from the side. Of course, if you are really willing to do an academic exchange, you are also welcome.¡± Roland seemed to see Ade¡¯s concern, surprisingly took the initiative to state, ¡°I personally think it¡¯s a good opportunity, increasing insight is also very necessary for scholars, right? What do you think, Diana?¡± 0 ¡°You should not have any mental burden.¡± Ade could not hear the emotional tendency from Diana¡¯s voice, ¡°Your actions, your choices represent only yourself.¡± 0 ¡°Did PLANT say when it was?¡± This is a sincere statement, ¡°I actually have quite a lot of things at hand.¡± 0 ¡°Next February. It¡¯s almost the end of the year, but there¡¯s still some time left.¡± 0 ¡°So ¡­¡± Ade pretended to dwell on it for a moment, ¡°Then I¡¯ll respectfully submit.¡± 0 Then came another conversation without any substance until the end of the meal. The waiter had taken away the cutlery and Ade was about to give up on that urban legend when Diana suddenly spoke up, ¡°Dr. Lingus, thank you for the outstanding contribution you have been making to the moon. In accordance with the usual practice, we will try our best to meet one of your requests as a reward.¡± 0 ¡°There is no need to rush, you can take your time to think about it.¡± Roland smiled at Ade, ¡°I am also curious about what kind of wish Dr. Lingus, the father of Gundam, will have.¡± 0 ¡°Ha ha, don¡¯t flatter me.¡± In his identity, he can get anything he wants, and if he can¡¯t, then others also can¡¯t obtain it for him, ¡°Gundam is not made out of nothing by myself.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, how so?¡± Roland looked curious, ¡°I¡¯ve never heard that you have an assistant. Is there someone else who gave you inspiration?¡± 0 ¡°In fact, all the inspiration for the Gundam design ¡­¡± success or failure, it all depends on the next sentence, ¡°is from Turn A. So if it¡¯s not offensive, I¡¯d like to see Turn A personally with my eyes. ¡° 0 The friendly atmosphere at the table, which had been harmonious a second ago, was instantly swept away. Diana still had a cold look, but Roland seemed to have completely changed to another person. The kind image just now disappeared like a dream bubble. His sharp eyes prompted Ade this is a person who slaughtered an entire fleet, whose hands stained with the blood of countless people. For a moment, Ade remembered Ghingham, no, even more. It¡¯s like facing a creature higher up in the food chain. 0 ¡°So, Doctor,¡± Roland braced his hands on the table and aligned his five fingers in front of him, ¡°Can you tell me the reason?¡± 0 The man in front of him was already a completely different creature from the Roland he remembered, and that was the only thing Ade could be sure of now. He carefully savored the other party¡¯s attitude ¨C extremely alert and cautious, but felt little hostility. Even if he failed, he would just be rejected, and this was the best chance he had. There were some things that only he was fit to say in this capacity, and there was no reason not to take advantage of it. 0 ¡°Out of curiosity.¡± He just needs to tell the truth, ¡°As a researcher, I can¡¯t help but wonder what kind of MS TurnA really is, what the last glow of the Earth-Moon War is all about, what the so-called Moonlight Butterfly really is, and whether the legendary black technology is traceable or not. ¡° 0 ¡°Is that all?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± This kind of unknown technology makes me sleepless! ¡°Curiosity and desire to know is the greatest motivation of human beings.¡± 0 Roland closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes to look at Diana. Ade did not see any expression on Diana¡¯s face, but Roland obviously had a different understanding than he did. Roland shook his head imperceptibly at Diana, who hesitated for a moment and then nodded. 0 Ade felt bewildered. Is this a new type of secret signal? 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus.¡± Roland finally finished making eye contact with Diana and looked at Ade, ¡°Some people say TurnA is the biggest trump card of the moon, and I don¡¯t deny that. Some people say that black technology is the biggest secret of the moon, I have no comment on this point. But I can tell you one thing: we don¡¯t know the origin of the black technology neither.¡± 0 So it¡¯s really an unknown technology? This is probably the last answer Ade wants to hear. 0 ¡°The so-called black technology is a relic that Diana and I inadvertently found when exploring on the moon. There are many incomprehensible advanced technologies. I can not even find a way to operate some of them, and the relic did not leave any records. I and Diana encountered many dangers and perils in it back then.¡± As if remembering something, Roland held Diana¡¯s hand and gave her a warm smile, and Diana returned the same smile. 0 Ade felt a little underfed just then, and now looking at the couple, he was not only full but also a little stuffed. 0 ¡°General Ghingham told me you were an NT before the meal, which surprised me, because when we met the last time, you were still not an NT.¡± The fury on Roland gradually melted away and he slowly changed back to his previous courteous appearance, ¡°More importantly, you have no ill will towards the moon nor towards us. I think to a human being, no malice is the greatest goodwill.¡± 0 That¡¯s a bit pessimistic in Roland¡¯s words, but Ade understands it. It is because the world is the way it is that the mutual understanding between NTs is more valuable, and easier for people to become addicted to it. 0 ¡°I and Diana trust General Ghingham¡¯s judgment. A mediocre person like me doesn¡¯t have the ability to find Turn A¡¯s secrets, but if it¡¯s you, Dr. Lingus, can you unlock the secrets?¡± 0 ¡°His Highness Roland?¡± Does it mean ¡­? 0 ¡°TurnA only. You have one week to explore its secrets. After a week, please share with us whatever you have gained.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°¡­ So what?¡± C.C. was bored squeezing the newly purchased Haro pillow, which was green like the last one, ¡°You¡¯ll be back late every day for the next week?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s TurnA! It¡¯s Moonlight Butterfly! You¡¯re completely missing the point of what¡¯s going on!¡± Ade waved her hands in an attempt to let this scientifically illiterate woman in front of him understand, ¡°This is simply one of the most inexplicable things in the world, and I¡¯ll have a chance to figure it out tomorrow!¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t think you can figure out a secret this big in a week, don¡¯t overestimate your IQ after making a few robots.¡± C.C. put on her usual indifferent face, ¡°And what will you do if you can¡¯t figure it out? Could it still make you sleepless?¡± 0 ¡°Yeah.¡± Ade nodded rightfully, ¡°I haven¡¯t slept soundly since the day I seriously considered where the black technology came from.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Are you serious?¡± C.C. stopped tossing the pillow and looked at him suspiciously. 0 ¡°Have you ever heard of an idiom called ¡®worrying about the sky¡¯ (è½ÈËÓÇÌì)?¡± 0 ¡°You know Chinese?!¡± Ade opened his mouth slightly in surprise, because C.C said the last four words in Chinese. ¡°When did you learn that?¡± 0 ¡°There is a man in the country of Qi who is worried that the sky will fall and the earth will sink, and he cannot eat or sleep every day.¡± Finding that she understood Chinese, Ade couldn¡¯t help but speak directly in Chinese, ¡°His friend reassured him that you can see the earth, sun, moon, and stars every day, what is there to worry about? The man thought about it and thought it made sense, so he stopped worrying.¡± 0 C.C. did not interrupt. She seemed to be thinking. 0 ¡°But the man¡¯s friend¡¯s analysis does not make sense. It¡¯s not even mathematical induction but just simple empiricism, which does not contain the conclusion that the sky will not fall and the ground will not sink. We laugh at the man because we stand on the shoulders of giants and know what the sky and earth are, so we can assert that the sky will not collapse and the earth will not sink.¡± 0 ¡°C.C., what do you call the so-called black technology?¡± Seeing that she had no interest, Ade gave up to continue speaking Chinese, ¡°I worry every day before I go to bed whether the sky will collapse after I wake up the next day.¡± 0 C.C. let out a long breath, tossed the pillow aside, and stood up from the couch to stretch. The pajamas were a little short, and the belly button showing for just three seconds completely ruined the atmosphere created earlier. 0 ¡°¡­ So what? You¡¯ll be back late every day for the next week?¡± 0 ¡°If it¡¯s too late, I won¡¯t come back. I will bring a change of clothes there.¡± Ade skimmed his head and pretended not to see anything, ¡°I¡¯ll call you when I don¡¯t come back.¡± 0 ¡°You will go to PLANT the next February, right?¡± C.C. sat back on the sofa and regained her pillow and tossed it, seemingly a little happier than just now. Her mood is more and more difficult to judge. Ade also took a long time to gradually figure out the pattern, ¡°Just in time, I will go back to Earth at that time.¡± 0 ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t it unsafe?¡± 0 ¡°Things will be almost over at that time. And you should know,¡± C.C. patted Haro¡¯s head, ¡°Geass and NT are simply two completely incompatible systems, right? 0 What the fuck is this scientific common sense¡­ 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t think it¡¯s important at first. After all, you have enough anomalies in your body. But listening to what you just said, I¡¯m a little worried about the sky. And I will drive your¡­¡± C.C. lifted her breath as if to say something, then gave up, ¡°¡­ your Blue-eyes White Dragon to Earth. I will be very safe on your ship, and Shinn Asuka can be my free bodyguard.¡± 0 ¡°Just in case, I ask one more question,¡± I hope it¡¯s not a bad prediction. ¡°In case you get lost, where can I find you?¡± 0 ¡°First time you¡¯ve asked that question in years, right?¡± C.C. was obviously laughing, which made him a little embarrassed, ¡°¡­ Japan.¡± CH 26 Chapter 26: Lie Down~ 0 ¡°Thank you, General.¡± 0 ¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me. I was just being honest.¡± Ghingham did the customary end-of-day check to make sure Ade hadn¡¯t done any damage to TurnA¡¯s systems, ¡°This check is worthless at all. If you can cause damage, that would be the biggest progress.¡± 0 Today was the fourth day of work to begin TurnA¡¯s parsing, and General Ghingham was in full charge of the operation. After a few days, Ade was able to carry on a normal conversation with him like this. Apart from his looks, this man was not really that scary. 0 Half of the time has passed, the parsing work itself has not made any progress. The difficulty is so high that it is like asking an elementary school student to calculate calculus. All the core systems are encrypted by an unseen algorithm, and any access to the program, the documents are completely closed. The complexity of the encryption algorithm has exceeded the capacity of any existing computer ceiling. 0 To his level without any background knowledge, crack this system by himself is completely impossible. What let him persist until now is only unwillingness. 0 ¡°Even if there is no gain, there is always some idea.¡± Ghingham finished his inspection and left the secret warehouse where TurnA was stored side by side with Ade, ¡°Not as a researcher, but as a person, an NT.¡± 0 ¡°Malice, full of malice.¡± Ade was getting more and more gutted the more he thought about it these days, ¡°Deliberately handing over an unprotected nuclear launch button to a child who was fighting with other children. His Highness Roland¡¯s self-control is simply ¡­ I kind of understand what the moon has been doing.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s something that only people with a really strong heart can do, and it took me a long time to understand it.¡± Ghingham nodded frankly, ¡°I¡¯m not as good as him.¡± 0 The entire TurnA, despite being completely encrypted, was completely open to all basic operations and access to weapons, with no restrictions, and could not even be locked at all. As long as Ade wants, he can simply drive it and run away, launch the Moonlight Butterfly system and destroy the world. 0 And TurnA itself is not affected by Moonlight Butterfly. That is to say, the person who created this thing is not afraid of Moonlight Butterfly. 0 It is simply straightforward to tell you that you are not allowed to learn any techniques from it, not allowed to use it to rebel against me, only allowed to use it to kill each other. This naked malice is obviously overflowing. Whoever abandoned TurnA on the moon definitely did not have any good intentions. Anyone with little self-control or evil intentions found it, it is likely that everyone is now living like cavemen. 0 But the question arises again. Why does such a person use such a roundabout way? Why doesn¡¯t the person destroy the world directly? Just a bad taste, or is there some reason why it can¡¯t be done? Ade can¡¯t figure it out. The clues are too few. 0 Now even if someone tells him that tomorrow the earth will be gone, he can not find a reason to refute. The most desperate is that he can not do anything. Every day with TurnA is like fighting an incomprehensibly powerful man. He does not even know who the other side is, and the other side does not even need to know who he is. 0 He now also understands the Diana couple¡¯s so-called absolute neutrality. With such a big sword hanging over your head, who has the effort to get involved in ZAFT and Federation¡¯s petty fights? As for getting the understanding and support of the two powers, look at how PLANT treated the suspected alien fossils that the father of the Coordinator got back from Jupiter. To them, not happened yet means not exist at all. 0 The feeling of sleeping on the crater of a volcano every day is really hard, but what makes it even harder for him is the powerlessness. Roland said that he was a mediocre person who didn¡¯t know what was going on, but was he stronger? He only knows what he knows and doesn¡¯t know what he doesn¡¯t know¡­ 0 ¡°Ghingham General,¡± Ade suddenly asked, ¡°Please let me talk to Her Majesty and His Highness, I have ideas. I need more time!¡± 0 Just a little sorry to C.C..Ah, I said it would only be a week, I hope she will not be angry. If it was her, she would have pretended not to care while asking, ¡°Why should I be angry? 0 He was still hesitant to tell C.C. about what he had learned here. Although Diana said that there was no harm in telling the person he trusted the most, he felt that there was something missing between him and C.C., and it seemed that he was not ready to talk about it. C.C.¡¯s attitude of hiding something from Geass still gives him a bit of a pang in his heart. 0 But it¡¯s not good to hide the secret in his heart. Talk about it to Alice is probably the best choice, right? 0 The time came to the end of December, and the next week was New Year¡¯s Day. 0 ¡°So Dr. Lingus,¡± Diana¡¯s voice took on a rare hint of nervousness, and Roland took her hand, ¡°please tell us the conclusion.¡± 0 In the plainly decorated briefing room, there sat Roland, Diana, Ghingham, and Harry. These four are the highest level of the entire moon, and all of them are also in the know about the black technology. About the black technology, according to Ghingham, there were not only TurnA, but also some other things, but Ade is not their ¡°own people¡± after all, so he will not complain about anything. 0 ¡°All the research in the past few months has been done entirely for Moonlight Butterfly.¡± Ade stood in front of the screen and explained, ¡°My ultimate goal was to get the performance, principles and countermeasures of Moonlight Butterfly. First is the performance, based on the tests and calculations, TurnA has so much engine power.¡± 0 A long list of zeros appeared on the screen, and all of those present were familiar with MS-related data. They couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath of air when they saw so many zeros. 0 ¡°The power system of Moonlight Butterfly is currently undecipherable. In the extreme case, with the sun as the center, Moonlight Butterfly¡¯s coverage area just reaches Jupiter, which also happens to be the boundary of the human activity range. It makes it hard to believe that by chance. As soon as someone turns Moonlight Butterfly on to maximum power, all human civilization will be destroyed.¡± 0 Ade couldn¡¯t help but look at Roland. Roland was unaware of Moonlight Butterfly¡¯s extreme power back then. What kind of restraint did he have to destroy only one fleet when his homeland was violated? Roland noticed his sight and smiled at him. By the way, Roland seems to be particularly fond of smiling, and smiling is particularly nice, unlike someone who is expressionless all day long. 0 ¡°TurnA¡¯s Moonlight Butterfly is achieved through some kind of nanobots that can self-proliferate, while TurnA¡¯s self-repair function and its own function of not being eroded by Moonlight Butterfly are also achieved by nanobots. These three kinds of nanobots are actually the same robots in different programs with different performances. And the principle of it-¡± Ade paused for a moment, his eyes skimming over the four big guys, ¡°I don¡¯t get it at all.¡± 0 For a moment, he thought Harry was going to rush up and punch him. It was NT¡¯s intuition, probably not a delusion. 0 ¡°Even if I don¡¯t understand at all what the formula stands for, morphing back and forth to bring in can sometimes spell out the correct answer.¡± But he just can¡¯t resist trying to sell a story, ¡°What I did is countless times more complicated than this, but the principle is the same. All in all, I did something that I know I don¡¯t understand. Here I would like to thank your Highness Roland for the inspiration.¡± 0 Roland politely nodded, but his bewildered expression betrayed him. 0 ¡°I used-¡± a big ellipsis appeared on the screen, ¡°a method that would take hours to explain and I don¡¯t know if you can understand it. Anyway, I managed to separate the nanobots and make them think they are still on TurnA. The program to trigger Moonlight Butterfly is encrypted in TurnA, so these nanobots can¡¯t be used for that, but the other two functions are automatic functions that don¡¯t require a trigger medium.¡± 0 ¡°That means we have the means to counteract Moonlight Butterfly?¡± 0 ¡°Equipment equipped with this nanobot can slowly repair itself and is completely unaffected by Moonlight Butterfly.¡± Ade nodded to Diana gratefully, it seems that everyone listened carefully, ¡°but unfortunately, the nanobots still have a high energy requirement, if it¡¯s equipped on an MS, the MS must use nuclear power. My results are the above, although it is a meager output, it is better than nothing, right?¡± 0 ¡°This is the best New Year¡¯s gift I¡¯ve ever received.¡± Diana stood up and shook Ade¡¯s hand, revealing a bright smile. It was the first time Ade had ever seen her smile. Roland and Ghingham also stood up excitedly to express their gratitude. 0 ¡°Well, I have another request,¡± it should not be too much to mention this at this kind of time, right? ¡°Can I make a copy of the nanobots?¡± 0 ¡°Of course you can.¡± Roland answered without hesitation, ¡°No one is more qualified than you.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 Today is the last day of the cosmic century 0084 years, the TV is broadcasting a boring New Year¡¯s party, in which none of the hosts and stars Ade knows. What is the point of watching this kind of program full of strangers? Ade and C.C. sat side by side on the sofa. He absentmindedly thought about what happened during the day in the hangar, and did not listen to a single word on the TV. 0 ¡°This is the first time we spent New Year¡¯s together, right?¡± C.C.¡¯s voice pulled him back to reality, ¡°What are you thinking?¡± 0 ¡°I have to leave a month, and Alice is not too happy,¡± The nanobots were finally equipped on Inle today. ¡°I upgraded a new equipment for her after a good deal of time to coax her happy.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ coax her happy,¡± C.C. repeated inaudibly. 0 ¡°Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven ¡­¡± It was already the New Year¡¯s countdown, and a sense of detachment came over Ade¡¯s heart as he watched the noisy group of people on TV ¨C it was their New Year, not mine. 0 ¡°The livelyness is theirs, I have nothing.¡± Some words tumbled into his mind from the depths of his memory, and he unconsciously whispered them out in Chinese. 0 ¡°¡­ one! Zero! Happy New Year!¡± The noisy shouting drowned out his own voice. Oh, I hope C.C. didn¡¯t hear it. He was about to go to see her expression when she suddenly stood up. 0 ¡°Go to bed early, it¡¯s past twelve.¡± C.C. grabbed the pillow and walked to her room, ¡°Or do you have the habit of staying up all night on New Year¡¯s?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t usually spend New Year¡¯s Eve.¡± He turned off the TV and the room went silent for a moment, as if the buzz from earlier was all fake. 0 ¡°Oh, yeah?¡± C.C. stood inside the door and said expressionlessly, ¡°Happy New Year and good night.¡± 0 There was a snap and the door was closed. 0 ¡°Happy New Year ¡­¡± 0 Ade sat on the couch for a while longer and finally decided to sleep with nothing to do. I shouldn¡¯t watch the New Year¡¯s Eve party with her. It would have been better to go to bed at ten o¡¯clock. 0 One clock in the morning. 0 The light from the side of his face woke him up, and Ade subconsciously tried to reach out to turn off the lamp on the bedside table, but he couldn¡¯t move as if there was something heavy on him. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw C.C. sitting on top of him, still wearing her nightgown. What is this? Life talk? 0 ¡°Is it really a dream?¡± 0 ¡°Not really.¡± 0 ¡°What are you doing in the middle of the night?¡± Ade was still a bit half asleep and confused, ¡°My C.C. can¡¯t be this cute?¡± 0 ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed that we¡¯re missing a line this year?¡± C.C. gently leaned down and whispered in his ear, the warmth of her breath made his head tingle and his sleepiness disappear all of a sudden. ¡°Or are you retarded to this point?¡± 0 What line? He wasn¡¯t in the habit of memorizing C.C. quotes, so who knew about this? He reasoned as he tried to go through his memory. The words she says every year, could it be¡­ 0 ¡°¡­!¡± Ade swallowed the non-existent spittle, ¡°You can¡¯t attack at night this year¡­ this surprisingly is a foreshadowing?¡± 0 ¡°At least take the initiative at times like this.¡± C.C. face showed a seductive expression. Her merald green long hair scattered randomly, and her golden pupils in the dim bedside lamp reflected a demonic luster. Her usually cold voice line sounded extra seductive at the moment, ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you?¡± CH 27 Chapter 27: Where We¡¯re Going 0 The sound of Lacus¡¯s song wandered through the office as Ade lay on the couch staring at the empty ceiling in a daze. It was still an hour before the PLANT people came to Anaheim. 0 For this technology exchange, PLANT side sent a battleship and Aznable personally came to the moon. It¡¯s already the highest treatment they can make. Last year, it was himself who greeted Amuro who came in a battleship, and this year Char came to pick himself up in a battleship. Is this the turn of the tide? 0 Ade¡¯s NT radar is ready to ring at any time, then Char will be surprised, then he shows a faint smile, and Char will be conquered by his boundless spiritual power and beg him to marry Mineva¡­ what am I thinking! Ade pinched his face and broke out of his daydreaming state ¨C he¡¯s been going off on his own lately. 0 C.C. had already left for Earth in the morning on the Blue-eyes White Dragon, and Shinn Asuka had taken a month¡¯s leave to protect Mayu, as expected. According to this pattern a few more times, Shinn will become her bodyguard, not my pilot! What a really terrible woman. 0 Thanks to this woman, his heart had been very tangled this month. Although he has a vague feeling in his heart that things will lead to that way, is there any step missing in the middle? There is a feeling of watching one less episode, and this feeling makes him uncomfortable all over. 0 After that, he tried to talk to C.C. several times, but C.C. always acted naturally as if they were already an old married couple, which made him feel embarrassed to ask. Was he the only one who felt something was missing? 0 During this month, C.C. would sometimes come to his room to spend the night, and sometimes go back to her own room. Of course, he was not discontented, but rather happy, but he was a bit overwhelmed by such an unpredictable attitude. Several times he wanted to send an email to ask Amuro what was this situation, but each time he felt embarrassed and gave up. 0 When she returns to the moon next month, I must have a good chat with her. 0 Time flew fast as he thought until a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind. Char was almost there¨Cwait, two! Ade sat up violently and concentrated on feeling the will from the other side of the sky. Yes, there were indeed two, and his ¡°vision¡± was obviously far away, so the other party had not yet found him. 0 As the other side approached, one of the consciousness and he began to have direct contact, and after a while, it was the second. According to Amuro, Char was relatively blind, so Ade presumed that the second one should be Char. He had no intention of resonating with anyone, and for Ade, radar was all that NT had to offer, and apparently neither did the other party. But these two people¡¯s consciousness is obviously not quite the same as Amuro¡¯s gentle feeling, speaking intuitively, he must not get along with these two people. 0 After dawdling a little longer, when it was time for the appointed meeting, Ade got up from the sofa and walked slowly to the parlor. Char was supposed to be chilling with Anaheim¡¯s leaders; he didn¡¯t want to attend such events, and he apparently had the privilege of not attending. 0 ¡°Sorry for being late, there¡¯s still some work to be accounted for.¡± Ade pulled an insincere excuse to walk into the meeting room and towards a seat that was clearly reserved for himself. 0 The people of Anaheim and PLANT were spread out clearly on either side of the room, with the Anaheim side filled with leaders of all levels. Ade¡¯s goal was no longer to get a promotion and a raise now, so he didn¡¯t bother to greet them all. Uraki stood in the corner of the room. He would be accompanying as Ade¡¯s personal bodyguard this time. 0 ¡°Please don¡¯t mind, an expert like the doctor should have a busy schedule, right? It¡¯s an immense honor for PLANT to be able to borrow Dr. Lingus for a whole month.¡± A beautiful blond man seated next to Ade stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand, ¡°I am Char Aznable of the PLANT Supreme Convocation, Doctor, I have heard a lot about you, and you are indeed a young talent.¡± 0 ¡°Adrien Lingus. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you too, Senator Aznable.¡± Sure enough, it was him. Ade casually shook hands and sat down in his seat, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that this time it would be you come in person with a battleship, isn¡¯t it too exaggerated?¡± 0 ¡°Not exaggerated at all! I always tell my men that Dr. Lingus¡¯s worth three to five fleets anyplace! Doctor, don¡¯t be overmodest.¡± said Char. With his elegant demeanor and sincere tone, it let people feel like a spring breeze, and he behaved as if he didn¡¯t notice that there was an extra NT in the room at all. Ade could only give a secret nod to his act. 0 Behind Char stood a young girl who looked less than twenty years old, combed with short hair, having beautiful posture with a vigorous heroic spirit. The other NT Ade sensed before was her. 0 ¡°Councilor Aznable, with all due respect, may I ask if this beautiful lady is?¡± 0 ¡°It seems that even a master like the Doctor can hardly resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.¡± Char smiled derisively at Ade, but Ade could read in the smile what only the two of them understood ¨C I knew you would ask, ¡°This is my secretary, Miss Haman Karn.¡± 0 ¡°Miss Karn please forgive my rudeness.¡± Ade looked up at Haman with a sincere look, ¡°May I ask if you¡¯ve fallen in love with someone?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry Dr. Lingus, you¡¯re a wonderful person.¡± Haman showed a sweet smile, ¡°But I¡¯m only loyal to Mr. Char.¡± 0 ¡°It seems that I am still not as charming as Senator Aznable.¡± Ade looked at Char with a helpless face. ¡°Miss Karn is so young, Senator Aznable, you didn¡¯t commit a crime, did you?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t laugh at me, doctor.¡± Char¡¯s acting skills were smooth and natural, ¡°As far as I know, Speaker Clyne¡¯s daughter is a fan of Dr. Lingus.¡± 0 ¡°Hahahaha, I¡¯m really looking forward to it then.¡± It felt like there was still a big gap between Char and himself, for example, compared to Char, his smile was too fake. 0 Char stood up and made an inviting gesture, ¡°Then Doctor, we shouldn¡¯t stay too long. Time to get moving.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Will Ade-san be able to meet Lacus-sama in person this time? I¡¯m so jealous~ But I asked him to ask Lacus-sama for an autograph for me.¡± 0 ¡°Mayu, Adrien-san is going for academic exchange this time, it¡¯s not good to bother him like this.¡± 0 The Asuka siblings were having a meaningless conversation while C.C. sat in the captain¡¯s seat staring idly at the stars. 0 Although the spaceship has been completed for several months, she still hasn¡¯t found a suitable candidate to be the captain. After all, he and she have too many secrets. It is difficult to find a trustworthy person. Amongst all the people they know, the only person who can drive the ship is C.C. herself, and there is no doubt who the acting captain is. 0 ¡°Speaking of which, Adrien-san seems to be a fan of Lacus-sama as well, so this time he might-¡° 0 ¡°Shhh!¡± Mayu pulled Shinn hard on his arm, glanced at C.C. side with her eyes, and whispered, ¡°Brother is a baka!¡± 0 Do the two siblings really think I can¡¯t hear their talks? 0 But to be honest, although C.C. disliked Lacus, she wasn¡¯t the least bit worried that Ade would have something to do with Lacus. First of all, Ade could not be hooked on Lacus, a woman with superficial beauty and a politician¡¯s heart. She certainly knows that he is just pretending to be Lacus Clyne¡¯s fan. Even if Ade is really fascinated by her appearance, will a woman like her suddenly lose her mind and like him too? He is just a robot expert, not everyone likes this type. 0 ¡°Miss C.C.¡¯s hair is beautiful! It¡¯s green, really special!¡± 0 ¡°I think Mayu¡¯s hair looks good too!¡± 0 The idiot siblings next to her kept flirting which annoyed her a little, and the topic of hair was not something she wanted to talk about at all. 0 On New Year¡¯s Eve, even though the TV was loud and he was speaking Chinese, she heard it ¨C The livelyness is theirs, I have nothing. These words instantly hit the softest thing deep in her heart that she thought she had long forgotten. She looked at his lonely face, as if she had found her long-lost semblance. A sympathetic empathy, mixed with some other indefinable emotions dominated her at that moment, so she became impulsive and did that ¡°night attack¡±. 0 Actually, there is nothing to regret. In fact, she had a feeling that the final development will become this way. But Ade does not seem to think so. He even in this regard is also so entangled in the order of cause and effect, always feels some ritualistic steps were missing. This is also quite cute though, but¡­ he was so tangled, should we make up this the next time we meet? 0 The only downside is that he is too uninvolved, right? As long as she doesn¡¯t go to his room, he doesn¡¯t know to take the initiative to go over. C.C. can¡¯t decide whether she wants him to grow in this area or not. 0 But how long can this beautiful story last? Time is always the cruelest arbiter, and it must end in sadness. She is a cursed witch, not eligible for a happy ending. 0 But he is a Geass holder, and awakened into a NewType. Such an abnormal miracle has happened to him. If it is him, is it possible to once again ¡­ C.C. did not continue to think about it. So many years, she has become very skilled to pretend to not care about this thing at all. 0 But she couldn¡¯t resist the urge to go and confirm it with her own eyes, to the place where all the curses began. It¡¯s just a glance, not expecting anything, so it¡¯s okay, right? 0 And when I go back next month, it¡¯s time to talk to him about everything about Geass and Code. He seems to know something, but not everything. This kind of half-assed perception is sometimes too dangerous. 0 She decided to wait until she finished confirming everything with her eyes. 0 ¡°Miss C.C., why must we stop at Orb Union?¡± Mayu came to speak to her again, the little girl just couldn¡¯t stop talking, ¡°Aren¡¯t there five cosmic ports?¡± 0 Shinn Asuka also looked at her with expectant eyes. For these two, Orb Union was a place full of painful memories, so it wouldn¡¯t hurt to answer such questions, right? 0 ¡°I can¡¯t go to Britannia and China. There are some people I don¡¯t want to meet in those two places. The other two cosmic ports are within the European territory, and it¡¯s inconvenient to reroute to the destination from there. So the cosmic port in Orb Union is my only choice. I can reroute there.¡± 0 ¡°Reroute?¡± Shinn Asuka looked as if he had just heard about it, didn¡¯t Mayu tell him? ¡°Where is our final destination?¡± 0 ¡°Japan, you guys just wait for me at the Japanese port. I¡¯ll come back for you guys when it¡¯s over.¡± 0 ¡°And where exactly is Miss C.C. going to?¡± Mayu was a bit unrelenting, ¡°In case Mr. Ade contacts us, we can answer him as well.¡± 0 That made sense, so C.C. hesitated and decided to tell the truth, ¡°TOKYO-3.¡± 0 Mineva Lao Zabi 0 Haman Karn CH 28 Chapter 28: This Script Is Not Right 0 Out of the silent darkness, five light sources lit up out of nothing. the SOUND ONLY sign indicated that this was an ongoing teleconference. 0 ¡°Fifth meeting of the cosmic century zero-eighty-five.¡± A young female voice emitted from number two, as usual, with no audible emotion, ¡°No anomalies detected this week.¡± 0 ¡°Ditto, no abnormal conditions detected.¡± Numbers three through five uttered the exact same lines. 0 ¡°How long has it been, and none of the angels have appeared. How about that?¡± Number four had the voice of a middle-aged male, ¡°Ikari, don¡¯t you have anything to explain?¡± 0 ¡°I am only responsible for the safety of the Terminal Dogma, I don¡¯t need to make an explanation whether the angels appear or not.¡± The voice of number five was also a middle-aged man, with a steady indifference, ¡°Everything went according to plan, there was no unplanned situation.¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t angel not showing up the biggest unplanned situation of all? The whole plan went wrong in the first step.¡± Number four sounded seemingly disgruntled, ¡°Old man, wasn¡¯t it your plan itself that went awry?¡± 0 No one answered. 0 ¡°If angels don¡¯t show up, Britannia¡¯s invasion of Japan will be superfluous.¡± The voice of number three is an old male, eloquent and powerful, ¡°This has a very bad effect on Britannia.¡± 0 ¡°We¡¯re discussing something big that affects all of humanity, don¡¯t bring out the chicken scratch to discuss.¡± Number Four¡¯s voice dripped with disdain, ¡°Is there a need to revisit the plan itself?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t agree, continuing to wait is the best option, time is on our side.¡± Ms. Number Two¡¯s voice remained unruffled, ¡°We should discuss the possibility of unplanned interference. Do you all on Earth have any clue?¡± 0 ¡°No.¡± ¡°No.¡± Number Three and Number Five replied one after another. 0 ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the Misurugi Kingdom.¡± Number Four suddenly spoke out, ¡°That kingdom completely closed off, neither joining the Earth Federation nor having any communication with the outside world, refusing to even access the Internet. It¡¯s too suspicious.¡± 0 ¡°That alone can¡¯t mean anything, It¡¯s probably just a stubborn little country.¡± Number Three returned the same disdain, ¡°If you insist, investigate it yourself. I won¡¯t do anything to interfere.¡± 0 ¡°Seconded.¡± Number Five spoke out in support, ¡°I can¡¯t do any support, but approve of your actions.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s decided then.¡± Number Two finally clapped his hands, ¡°This meeting is over.¡± 0 ¡°All for the sake of the final dialogue.¡± Number One suddenly made an old voice. 0 All the light went out in one go, and the space returned to darkness once again. 0 ¡°All for the final dialogue.¡± Ikari¡¯s voice rang out from the darkness, ¡°This kind of stuff ¡­¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°This kind of stuff actually exists!¡± Ade pressed his hand against the explosion-proof glass in front of him and looked across the glass at the fossil, ¡°What the hell is on Jupiter ¡­¡± 0 ¡°I knew that must be what Dr. Adrien was most interested in.¡± Siegel Clyne showed a smug smile, ¡°But this is the only piece of evidence left by the father of the Coordinator, there are no other images or written materials, and all those who know the truth have passed away. You must want to see it on Jupiter, right?¡± 0 ¡°Yes.¡± Ade struggled to find something in all his memories that would match the fossil in front of him, ¡°I would love to go tomorrow if it wasn¡¯t too far and too risky a journey.¡± 0 Ade arrived at Apulilius-1 last night, and on the night of his arrival was put up in the presidential suite of the most exclusive hotel in Apulilius with Uraki. 0 ¡°If you want to bring back girls, I will get another room for myself.¡± Uraki swore last night and patted his chest, ¡°Doctor, don¡¯t worry, Miss C.C. will never know anything that happens here.¡± 0 He was originally invited over as a mascot, and Ade¡¯s original plan for this month was also to travel and take a vacation. Too many things had happened in the last year, and he felt it was time to take a break. Unexpectedly, Siegel Clyne actually arranged a rich itinerary for him. Ade looked at it roughly, and he had to admit that it was very sincere. 0 The first stop of the day was to visit the PLANT Supreme Convocation in the city of Apulilius. For Ade, who has always shown himself as a scholar, this kind of political center should be the last place he wants to go. But Clyne was keen to guess what Ade really wanted to see the most ¨C the fossil brought back from Jupiter by the father of Coordinators: a suspected alien creature. 0 The existence of this fossil caused a huge uproar back then, and all existing religions were greatly affected. The ethical problems faced by the existence of the Coordinators themselves were subtly mitigated by this fossil ¨C if God doesn¡¯t exist, it doesn¡¯t matter to violate the domain of God, right? Thus was born the first baby boom of the Coordinators. 0 But Ade¡¯s desire to see this fossil wasn¡¯t motivated by curiosity. Just like the news of the photographed dragon, if that person had photographed a real dragon, it would not only mean that there was a dragon in the world, but that a population of dragons existed, a population that would have to have a historical origin, a physiological structure, a habitat, a food chain, and even an explanation of why dragons have not been discovered until today. 0 The world is made up as a whole, not as Lego blocks that you can just add parts to. Even any of the cosmic constants has a small deviation, the human race would not exist, and the universe would not be what it is now. 0 This thing in front of him, if it is not a fake created by the father of the Coordinator himself, means that there are really such extraterrestrial beings in the world. They have populations, habits, food chains, and have traveled to Jupiter. And there must be a plausible reason why they all died on Jupiter and turned into fossils. 0 What is the truth hidden in this world? 0 The opposite side of the blast-proof glass is not the winged whale Ade remembered, but something else not seen before. The thing in the fossil was close to three meters high and more than four meters long, and the head, torso, and six limbs could be clearly distinguished, like a large-sized spider. However, the fossil seems to have been severely deformed by some impact, and many details cannot be confirmed. It is almost certainly a creature and not any extant species on Earth. 0 What the heck is this? It wasn¡¯t anything related to ¡°CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion¡±, it wasn¡¯t from any of the ¡°Gundam¡± series, and it didn¡¯t look like ELS (Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shapeshifter) at all. Its spider shape reminded him of the insects, and he even went through the Zergs in StarCraft, the Arachnids in Starship Troopers, and the Flood in Halo, and nothing matched up. Is it some kind of unseen ¡°material¡±? 0 Come on, this makes me unable to sleep peacefully! Why should I, a time traveller, worry about the destruction of the world every day? Why didn¡¯t I transmigrated into a gal game world where there are full of beautiful girls? 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, you seem to be worried.¡± Seeing that he was really dazed for too long, Clyne couldn¡¯t help but speak out to remind him, ¡°Is there any opinion about this fossil? I¡¯d like to learn about it if I can.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ have no opinion, just emotion. How small and ignorant, bewildered and helpless we are looking at such things exist in the universe.¡± This kind of fake and empty-sounding line is his sincere words, ¡°The unknown is the greatest fear of mankind.¡± 0 ¡°And the curiosity to explore the unknown is also the greatest motivation for human beings to move forward, right?¡± Clyne looked down at his watch, ¡°Dr. Adrien, it¡¯s getting late, and I don¡¯t think that you are interested in the rest of the Convocation. Hereby I invite you to dine at my home, would you like to enjoy it?¡± 0 ¡°How is it possible to refuse such an invitation?¡± Ade imitated Char¡¯s smile, ¡°I will respectfully do so.¡± 0 On the way to Clyne¡¯s house, Uraki winked at Ade with an ¡°I understand¡± expression, and finally became more serious after Ade threatened to deduct his salary. This is Uraki¡¯s first time to come to PLANT, he had been a little over-excited from last night. 0 The Clyne house is the largest private residence Ade has ever seen, and it also has its own private garden and private pool. Ade is rich, but he is still living in a shabby two-room apartment. Although the price of the land on the moon is high, he can still afford it. It¡¯s just not necessary. There are only him and C.C. , why bother? He can change the house after there are ¡°more people¡± in the family. 0 Lunch was served at Clyne¡¯s dining room, and surprisingly there were only two people, him and Clyne. Clyne¡¯s wife died early, and Lacus was supposedly rehearsing for a concert in a few days, so he couldn¡¯t make it back in time for lunch. Clyne also invited Uraki, which was politely declined by Uraki ¨C he finally regained his previous professionalism as the bodyguard. 0 After the meal, Clyne invited Ade to take a walk in the back garden of his house, and before he could take a few steps, he answered a phone call, muttered something in a low voice, and then showed an apologetic expression to Ade, ¡°Sorry, Dr. Adrien, I have an urgent matter on my side that must be handled by me personally. Please take a moment to rest in the garden, and I will return as soon as I have finished. Excuse me.¡± 0 Clyne strides off, leaving Ade and Uraki staring at each other in the garden. After a while, Uraki suddenly showed an enlightened expression, ¡°Doctor, I¡¯ll check for you if there are any suspicious people outside the garden, please feel free to walk in the garden.¡± 0 So do you have some serious misconceptions about the intelligence of a researcher? Isn¡¯t it too obvious? Even Uraki understands the hint! 0 Ade casually found a seat and began to think about the fossil. Although no clues, he hopes he can remember it one day. As expected, about ten minutes later he heard footsteps, and the light steps hinted at the identity of the visitor. 0 He raised his head to the sound of footsteps, and a young girl walked towards him fairily, as if she just walked out of a painting. A long, silky pink hair was playfully tied into two strands, and her delicate features were sculpted with an innocent smile; she was wearing a performance dress that she had not yet changed out of, and her moon-white dress complemented her aquamarine pupils; her exposed shoulders and collarbones still reflected the sheen of sweat, and her slightly heaving chest and slightly disturbed breath were proof that she had just been rehearsing hard. 0 ¡°Hello, Miss Lacus.¡± Ade stood up and nodded in greeting, ¡°I am Adrien Lingus, invited by your esteemed father to be a guest in your house. Your father has just gone out on urgent business.¡± 0 ¡°Father-sama has told me about your visit.¡± The elf showed a sweet smile that could melt any man¡¯s heart, ¡°Nice to meet you. My name is Lacus Clyne, hope we learn from each other in the future~¡± CH 29 Chapter 29: The Actor 0 The development of things and man¡¯s knowledge of the world often goes through four stages: ¡°affirmation¡±, ¡°negation¡±, ¡°negation of negation¡±, and ¡°you lose if you get serious¡±. The great philosopher Hegel discovered the first three stages and wrote them into his work ¡°Logic¡±. 0 For example, Ade¡¯s understanding of Lacus is like this, he went through the four stages: 1, Lacus is so cute! She is my waifu; 2, Lacus is just a politician without integrity; 3, She is a complex three-dimensional character and everything is the producer¡¯s plot; 4, Why did I get serious with a cartoon girl? She is not even a real person! 0 Now the fourth stage was cruelly rejected ¨C she appeared in front of his eyes, as real as anyone else ¨C he had to silently return to the third stage. 0 Lacus went back after greeting him and took a shower and changed into a loose housecoat, but even such plain clothes could not conceal her natural beauty. Even with Ade¡¯s discerning eye from years of dealing with C.C., he had to admit that the young girl beside him was really pleasing to the eye. 0 The two were walking side by side in the garden. Lacus¡¯s hair was still not completely dry, and the tiny droplets of water on the tips of her hair were faintly visible in the reflection of the light. According to the experience of dealing with C.C. all year round, this kind of long hair is very troublesome to take care of. Lacus did not let Ade wait long, she came in a hurry with her hair half wet. 0 Ade is not good at talking, especially not good at talking to an unfamiliar girl. When he was with Alice, he was free to say whatever he wants; when he was with C.C., he could also say anything, although sometimes C.C. would sneer at him; but when he is with Lacus, he really doesn¡¯t know what to say. 0 Luckily, Lacus is the one who leads the conversation from the beginning to the end, and when there is almost nothing to say on one topic, Lacus will move on to the next one naturally. The conversation was so smooth that even created an illusion of intimacy, but when Ade thinks about it, it actually kept a certain distance. Ade himself, though he would not, knew that this was a masterful social skill. 0 ¡°Is there anyone else Dr. Lingus likes to listen to besides me?¡± Lacus¡¯s voice was ethereal in its sweetness, a miracle that can only be born once even in genetic adjustment, ¡°I remember you once said that music is the best catalyst for inspiration.¡± 0 ¡°Well, Miss Lacus, there¡¯s no need to keep using honorifics, is there?¡± It¡¯s not to draw closer, it just sounds uncomfortable, ¡°We¡¯re kind of the same age, there¡¯s no need to address me like that.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor is a man that Father-sama and I both respect, so I don¡¯t see any problem with honorifics. But if you wish-¡± Lacus tilted her head slightly in a thoughtful manner. Her long hair sliding down one side of her face, and she reached out her fingers to tilt it behind her ear and curled her mouth slightly with a wink, ¡°Ade-san, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you ~¡± 0 Ade pretended to nod indifferently and silently recited pi to resist this ¡°sugar-coated bullet¡±. 0 ¡°If possible, please call me by my first name as well.¡± Lacus kept a closer but not constricting distance from Ade, ¡°So does Ade-san have any other favorite musicians?¡± 0 ¡°No. You¡¯re the only one I know in the whole entertainment industry.¡± He thought that sounded too awkward, almost like a line only a closet fan would say, but unfortunately, it was true. 0 ¡°Ade-san, don¡¯t make fun of me.¡± Lacus smiled coyly and casually cited a few names, ¡°They have a style close to mine, maybe they¡¯re your type? What does Mr. Ade think of them?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t recognize any of them.¡± He shook his head helplessly, ¡°Not to be polite, out of all the stars I really know just you.¡± 0 Lacus¡¯s eyes widened in surprise and her small mouth opened slightly, then she quickly covered her mouth with her fingers as if she had discovered her rudeness and lowered her head in embarrassment. After a few seconds, she lifted her head to give Ade a bright smile, and her sincere tone was unquestionable, ¡°I believe Ade-san is telling the truth!¡± 0 False, it¡¯s all false. He doesn¡¯t remember the pi, so he began to recite the natural constants. 0 Lacus did not continue to talk, walking silently with a smile on her face, occasionally glancing sideways at Ade. In a short time, they had turned around in the small garden and the two found a place to sit face to face. Lacus poured a cup of black tea for each of them. 0 There were seven or eight Haros around the seat while rolling around and calling Lacus¡¯s name in an electronic voice. They are not something like C.C.¡¯s Haro pillow, but the real Haro produced by the entertainment department of Anaheim Electronics Industry. Lacus leaned down to pat this and touch that, looking very happy. Ade also bought one out of curiosity before, but he canceled the order after one day because he felt it was too noisy. 0 I must also occasionally take the initiative of the topic! He thought a little and found a possible topic, ¡°Lacus, you just said that music is the best catalyst for inspiration, I remember that was a sentence I wrote in a paper. Do you read scientific papers?¡± 0 ¡°Normally not, but I¡¯ve read all of Mr. Ade¡¯s papers.¡± Lacus pushed Haro away and turned her attention to the person across the table, ¡°I don¡¯t understand the content, but I like to read the preface. The philosophy and discernment showed in it make me think that Mr. Ade is not a scientist but a thinker. You like to quote famous remarks before the universe century, and thanks to Mr. Ade, my reading scope has expanded a lot.¡± 0 She was right, Ade likes to write strange things in all the important papers. The content was various, basically, he wrote everything he thought of. But¡­ from Lacus¡¯ tone, if she had not really read them all, she must have a team of staff to make the summary for her. 0 ¡°I¡¯m not a thinker. It¡¯s just spontaneous gibberish. Just like famous painters leave unique marks on their work, I¡¯m just doing something similar.¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Ade, I think you think too little of yourself.¡± Lacus looked straight into Ade¡¯s eyes, ¡°Maybe to Ade-san, those are just gibberish to make the paper less boring, but to me, that is thinking about science, about the world itself. Many of the ideas in the early papers were not very mature, and many of the later papers even overturned previous ideas, but in my eyes, these were practical steps of exploration and advancement.¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t know what to say. Did this team of staff put so much effort into reading my papers? All of these pieces of stuff were actually doing the same thing. The same thing he tried to say to C.C. a million times ¨C 0 ¡°Are you trying to interpret the world with your own worldview?¡± He saw his expressionless self in Lacus¡¯ sapphire eyes. No, it was just whining, ¡°You especially like to use expressions like ¡®this world¡¯ and ¡®this kind of world¡¯ in your papers, it¡¯s like from a person who has jumped out of the perspective of the whole human race.¡± 0 ¡°Lacus, you¡¯re kidding. How can people just out of the perspective of their own race? We¡¯re so bound by language that we don¡¯t even have a concept for the things that aren¡¯t in the language, and it¡¯s a fool¡¯s errand to set aside the limitations of race.¡± Ade picked up his cup and took a sip of tea to cover his embarrassment, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m about your age. I was just making a fuss about an imaginary illness. Don¡¯t care about it.¡± 0 ¡°Only the weak would make a fuss about an imaginary illness. But Ade-san is the one with the power.¡± 0 ¡°What power do I have?¡± He remembered TurnA and what C.C. had been saying about himself, and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s just a man who knows how to design robots. It¡¯s nothing rare.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know which one made that comment, but it¡¯s definitely very wrong. Just like the father of Coordinator changed the entire social structure of humanity, the Ade-san in my eyes is a person who has a similar great power. Not an appendage of some creed, but a person with his own independent worldview. Such a person is able to change the world.¡± 0 Lacus and Ade looked at each other for a while, and suddenly she lowered her heads in embarrassment, picked up their teacups and took a sip, drinking with the grace of a swan and the cuteness of a small hamster. 0 Ade understands. Acting, they¡¯re all acting. The more beautiful the woman is, the more complex her heart is. He thought of C.C., thought of Diana, maybe Haman also counted. Why can¡¯t they just be silly sweet girls of this world? Sigh, only Alice is a good girl. 0 ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m talking to myself a bit, I guess. It¡¯s just that I was interested in Ade-san¡¯s thoughts when I was reading the papers before, and I got a little carried away for a moment.¡± 0 ¡°No, no at all. It¡¯s nice to hear someone praise me.¡± He smelled a fresh fragrance as he leaned over to put down his tea cup. Lacus and C.C. probably don¡¯t use the same shampoo, ¡°Mr. Clyne has an excellent daughter. Some of the media is too blinkered to describe you as a flower vase that only sings.¡± 0 ¡°Even if it¡¯s praising me as a vase, I¡¯ll be happy. I really put a lot of effort into singing too.¡± Lacus put her hands together in front of her chest and slightly tilted her head, ¡°I have a concert in three days, I wonder if Ade sir is interested?¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°He agreed?¡± Siegel Clyne relaxed against the back of his chair, enjoying his daughter squeezing his shoulders. 0 ¡°Yes.¡± Lacus spoke with no less force in her hands, ¡°And asked me for an autographed picture, saying he was going to give it to his friend¡¯s sister.¡± 0 ¡°What do you think Dr. Adrien is like?¡± 0 ¡°He was always a little guarded and seemed a little prejudiced against me. And he pretended to be my fan, but his acting was too bad. He doesn¡¯t even remember my birthday! But¡­ he is an interesting person.¡± She recalled the daytime session and couldn¡¯t help but smile heartily, ¡°The most interesting thing was that he really only knew one star, that was me, and I was really surprised at that time. Even Senator Aznable or Uncle Zala know a few stars, right? It¡¯s simply unimaginable that a man doesn¡¯t have any entertainment in his life. He should be a very lonely person¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Now you have met with the three people. How does he compare with Patrick¡¯s son? How about compared to Aznable?¡± 0 ¡°Athrun¡¯s worldview is not yet formed and his character is too weak. Compared to him, Ade-san is more like an adult. As for Senator Aznable¡­¡± Lacus put away her smile and pondered for a moment, ¡°Both of them are people with unique worldviews. They probably will never be friends. For us-¡° 0 ¡°Lacus.¡± Clyne let out a long sigh, ¡°You are my heir, my like-minded companion, but you are also my daughter after all. There is no need for you to be so-¡° 0 ¡°I understand, father-sama.¡± Lacus interrupted his explanation, ¡°For the sake of the ideal, we must sacrifice something. I understand it a long time ago. It¡¯s not only Father-sama¡¯s ideal, but it¡¯s also mine.¡± 0 ¡°I wouldn¡¯t want to sacrifice my daughter¡¯s happiness if I could.¡± A hint of guilt passed through Clyne¡¯s voice, ¡°You were born in such a family. As Siegel Clyne¡¯s daughter, it was something that could not be helped. I can¡¯t give you the choice of freedom, but at least, I want to give you the freedom to choose.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ father?¡± 0 ¡°Last month, I found my suit was too old, so I was going to go buy a new one.¡± Clyne closed his eyes as if talking to himself, ¡°There are many suits in the store, some are cheap but simple in style and easy to match. Some are expensive but unique in taste, each with its own style. I hesitated for a long time, and finally figured it out. Although I don¡¯t have the choice of not wearing a suit in the meeting, our family is not short of money, I have the freedom to choose my favorite suit.¡± 0 ¡°Father-sama ¡­¡± Lacus¡¯s voice trembled slightly. 0 Clyne closed his eyes and did not reply. 0 Lacus was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, with a hint of relief in her tone, ¡°Please don¡¯t talk about a politician¡¯s daughter as if it were some kind of curse, okay? Maybe your daughter is lucky enough to have the cake and eat it? My mother would have blessed me if she had known.¡± 0 ¡°And which cake does my daughter prefer?¡± Clyne finally laughed out loud, ¡°The old one? Or the tender one?¡± 0 ¡°Father!¡± She pouted at her father, then made a somewhat bewildered sound, ¡°¡­ I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s too far and extravagant for me, and making a decision without weighing the pros and cons is like rolling the dice with your eyes closed.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t analyze, use your gut.¡± Looking at his daughter, Clyne remembered his wife, ¡°It¡¯s okay to be capricious in this, it¡¯s the only compensation I can do for you.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ If I may,¡± A figure flashed through Lacus¡¯ mind, ¡°I¡¯d like to have another chat with Ade-san. He is really an interesting man.¡± CH 30 Chapter 30: He Came to My Concert 0 The concert was held in PLANT¡¯s largest concert hall. 0 The concert was to celebrate Lacus¡¯ birthday. Yes, today February 5th is Lacus¡¯s birthday. When Ade received the tickets Lacus gave him, it was very awkward for a while. As her fan, he didn¡¯t even know that the concert was for her birthday! 0 There is still some time before the concert starts. Ade and Uraki were on a small balcony on the second floor. The balcony was big enough to sit about five or six people, but at present only two of them. The balconies are separated by a certain distance, so if you speak in a low voice, you won¡¯t be heard from left to right. But unfortunately, the sound from the next balcony is loud. 0 ¡°That blue hair and white hair are the sons of senators. Are all the children of officials like this now? They are too noisy!¡± Uraki was very dissatisfied, ¡°Surprisingly none of them recognized the doctor. I have hung the doctor¡¯s photo in my room in U.C. 1979.¡± 0 ¡°There are still some good kids.¡± Ade didn¡¯t want to comment on the second half of Uraki¡¯s sentence, ¡°Zala¡¯s son should have recognized me, just now outside he saluted to me.¡± 0 Ade and Uraki came in just in time to rub elbows with Athrun and his friends. Looking at their colorful hair, he had the delusion of dreaming back to the rural-urban fringe in a trance. (Translator: the young people in the rural-urban fringe in China like to dye colorful hair) 0 ¡°Nicol, you are so lame!¡± Someone was clamoring loudly, ¡°You can¡¯t even win the championship and you lost to a natural! It¡¯s simply a disgrace to our PLANT!¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t help it, he¡¯s too strong!¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, I think they¡¯re talking about the Junior Mini MS competition, right? Captain Ray won it back in the day, and it¡¯s called the cradle of ACE.¡± Uraki said suddenly sullen, ¡°I have not won the championship, I really do not deserve to be an ACE ¡­¡± 0 ¡°What was that champion¡¯s name again? Kamille or Camille? Like a pussy!¡± The crowd next door burst into laughter, and the air inside and outside the balcony was filled with rapture. 0 After a while, after Athrun repeatedly shouted ¡°pay attention to quality¡±, the next door finally quieted down a bit. 0 ¡°Doesn¡¯t Dr. Lingus want to join the conversation of the young people?¡± Char sat down next to Ade naturally, with a very friendly tone, ¡°Focusing on research and forgetting the fact that you are also young will lead to remorse when you reach my age.¡± 0 ¡°The younger you are the more you have to be careful with your words.¡± Ade, of course, sensed this one early and couldn¡¯t resist trying to play a prank, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be bothered with the mistakes I made because of my youth several years later.¡± 0 Char looked a little surprised and did not respond in a hurry. At that moment, Haman also entered the balcony and sat down next to Char. 0 ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the doctor has such an awareness as a researcher, and I only realized this after making many mistakes.¡± In a short while Char regained his natural attitude, ¡°If I had known that the doctor was also a New Type, I would never have waited until now to have this conversation.¡± 0 To be honest, Ade didn¡¯t really want to communicate with Char about any ideas, nor did he want to talk with him about any ideals in life. Intuition tells him he doesn¡¯t get along with Char, and intuition basically equals positive understanding when dealing with NT. He tried to change the subject, ¡°Senator Aznable and Miss Karn are practically inseparable, are you in love?¡± 0 ¡°Far more than lovers, Haman is my spiritual companion.¡± Char glanced at Haman, who had been low-browed and silent since she came in, ¡°I see the possibility of New Type in her, you are also a New Type, you must understand it, right?¡± 0 Why do this person and Amuro often see the possibility of a New Type at every turn? Is this the nature of NT? Ade was speechless, he neither saw any possibility, nor could understand, but there was no need to provoke Char, silence would be good. It was good for everyone to politely keep their distance like this now. 0 Seeing Ade have little interest, Char changed the subject, ¡°Doctor, you installed the D.R.A.G.O.N. System on the Freedom Gundam, I thought it was designed specifically for Coordinators. Until I learned that you, Dr. Lingus, are also a New Type and realized that the system was originally designed for us New Type. I¡¯m afraid that this is the original design of the D.R.A.G.O.N., which replaces the complex calculations with the NT¡¯s mental sensing.¡± 0 Char¡¯s words are in a sense not wrong. Ade nodded, pretending to put on a surprised look, ¡°Forgive me, PLANT¡¯s research in mental sensing can already do this?¡± 0 ¡°I may seem like a politician to the doctor, but I¡¯m also the director of the New Type Institute.¡± Char¡¯s tone turned low, ¡°The Federation locked Amuro up like a beast, foolishly treating New Type as an unspecified superstition. But PLANT is different. Since the war, I have led the research related to New Type, and personally served as the director. With our current technical strength, it won¡¯t be long until we can complete the real D.R.A.G.O.N. system.¡± 0 ¡°Research?¡± His first thought was Ple. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, of course it¡¯s humane research, both Haman and I have personally participated in the experiments.¡± Char explained, ¡°My good friend, Dr. Gilbert Durandal of the Institute of Life Sciences, is a leading expert in genetics, and he has successfully proven that NT and genetics have nothing to do with each other, and that there is no reason for PLANT to conduct inhumane experiments.¡± 0 ¡°PLANT¡¯s progress takes my breath away.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°compared to you, the Earth Federation simply ¡­¡± 0 ¡°So you do understand, Doctor, that gravity binds the human soul, and we must move faster into the true universe century.¡± Char scanned through the audience downstairs, ¡°Miss Lacus¡¯s song is admittedly beautiful, but can these people really appreciate it? PLANT is like that, let alone Earth.¡± 0 ¡°The universe is not always a beautiful place.¡± Ade thought about the fossil of unknown creatures, ¡°Senator Aznable councilors can see it every time you go to the Supreme Council, right?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s why we New Types are needed.¡± Char looked at Ade with a burning gaze, ¡°Seeing through the fog, sensing danger, leading the lambs, these are all things that only New Type can do. What we have to do is to achieve the salvation of all mankind, the liberation of all mankind, the innovation of all mankind, there is no time to lose.¡± 0 He¡¯s backtracking again! Ade kind of understand, as long as two NTs meet, they can not help but exchange the ideal of life. Even a hard-blooded fierce man like Ghingham would talk more after they meet, not to mention Amuro. Amuro said repeatedly at that time that he was different from them, and now Ade has a deep understanding. 0 But a politician like Char, even if he talks about these things, there must be a deeper purpose ¨C he has always had very high regard for Char¡¯s political skill, and is very self-aware of himself. 0 At this point, the lights in the concert hall were suddenly turned off, and the venue was suddenly silent. Char whispered, ¡°I¡¯ll leave the doctor to enjoy the music¡±, and left with Haman, leaving Ade, who became a bit confused, alone. So what the hell is this person doing here? Is it just to test my attitude? Char was never a kind-hearted person, and Ade was not so naive as to think that two NTs met just to get close and intimate. 0 But now is not the time to think about this. Lacus has already taken the stage. The clothes she wore were not the same as the ones he saw yesterday, so it¡¯s true that there will be as many changes in clothes during the concert? The accompaniment sounded, and as a veteran pseudo-fan, he immediately heard that it was a song from Lacus¡¯s debut. 0 The next thing he did was to give up thinking about it and just let himself be immersed in the music. Lacus is not wrong, she did spend a lot of effort on music. With Ade¡¯s poor literary level it was impossible to find any suitable description, and now he didn¡¯t have the effort to think about it. 0 The songs of Lacus are mainly love songs, and the content is very sweet. The gentle and quiet style of the song with her ethereal and sweet voice gripped the heart of every listener. 0 From the midway point, Ade did not look at the stage anymore, nor did he care how many more new outfits Lacus would change, but relaxed against the back of the soft chair and gently closed his eyes. He forgot about Gundam, forgot about Geass, forgot about black technology, and forgot about alien fossils. Just like an ordinary person who comes home after a busy day with a lot of fatigue, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and the earth will not explode if you are lazy now, right? Now it does not matter to sleep in peace ¡­ of it ¡­ 0 ¡°¡­ Doctor, Doctor!¡± A violent shaking woke Ade up, and Uraki¡¯s embarrassed face appeared in front of him, ¡°The concert is over. Well, you fell asleep in the middle.¡± 0 Ade got up and looked around. Almost everyone has gone, and the theater was quiet. He stretched his back in a refreshing manner and patted Uraki¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Go, go backstage.¡± 0 When he got the tickets, to cover up the embarrassment, he promised to send Lacus a birthday gift, and then Lacus said he could come backstage directly after the concert. But, how could Dr. Lingus, who was a virgin a month ago, know how to choose birthday gifts for girls? The only gift he had ever given was a Haro pillow for C.C., but it was inappropriate to give this to Lacus. 0 This time, Uraki volunteered to jump out and say that he is experienced in this area. The next is a breathless analysis: Clyne¡¯s family is so rich, so the gift shouldn¡¯t be expensive; the smaller the gift is, the greater the probability of being used. Under Uraki¡¯s persuade, Ade finally bought a hairpin. Afterward, he thought it was too casual, right? However, it was already too late to buy a new one. 0 Led by the staff, Ade came to Lacus¡¯ lounge, where Athrun and his friends were already inside, with small and large boxes stacked quite high next to them, probably gifts from them. A yellow-haired boy whispered something to Athrun, causing Athrun to blush, others laughed, and Lacus also smiled companionably. 0 At that moment, a white-haired boy saw Ade and said loudly, ¡°Ah, the one who was just sleeping and snoring!¡± 0 The air was suddenly quiet. 0 Only now did he understand why Uraki had that look. He did not snore in his own sleep, and today it seems that he slept really well, even the next balcony heard him. But he did not bother to explain it to them. He fished out the small gift box from his pocket and walked straight to Lacus. 0 ¡°Happy birthday, Lacus.¡± He placed the gift gently into her hand, ¡°Sorry, I did fall asleep on the way. Today¡¯s concert was great, it was the most restful sleep I¡¯ve had in years, thank you.¡± 0 Lacus looked at him curiously for a while and couldn¡¯t help but laugh softly at his sincere expression, ¡°Can I open it now?¡± 0 As Ade nodded, a delicate hairpin in the shape of a crescent moon appeared in Lacus¡¯s hand. It was very similar to the one she usually wore, but with subtle differences. Lacus untied her double ponytail sideways and straightened it out, pinning the hairpin to the hair in front of the left side of her forehead. 0 She turned around to face the mirror and tilted her head from side to side, then turned back and gave Ade a big smile, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ade, this hairpin is very cute.¡± 0 At this moment, there are two options in front of him: 1, Lacus is very good at lightening things up; 2, Kou Uraki knows what the best-fit gift is. For a moment, just a moment, he wanted to choose the latter. CH 31 Chapter 31: Freedom Gundam 0 ¡°Yesterday, the final commissioning of the Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam, which were developed completely by our army, was finally completed. Dr. Lingus of Anaheim came all the way to PLANT to bring good wishes to ZAFT and, accompanied by Captain Creuset, watched the two Gundams¡¯ practical rehearsal with great interest. The two sides had a cordial and friendly meeting, during which Dr. Lingus highly praised the technical level of our army and emphasized many times that science and technology is the first productive force. Captain Creuset said excitedly ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, do you think this is okay?¡± A PLANT propaganda bureau staff handed the script to Ade and looked at him respectfully, ¡°If there is no problem, we will send it out like this tomorrow.¡± 0 The problem was that the so-called visit hadn¡¯t even started now, and Ade was still standing outside the Eternity. The Eternity and the two nuclear energy Gundams are the top secrets of the ZAFT army, originally developed jointly by PLANT and Anaheim in secret. According to the contract, they will be publicized as PLANT¡¯s own development in the final announcement, and concealed the details related to nuclear power. 0 The staff of the Propaganda Bureau was obviously not qualified to know the details, and did not even have permission to come on board, so the manuscript, which obviously had a fabricated element, could only be published with Ade¡¯s consent. 0 ¡°Very good, very professional.¡± He nodded in satisfaction, this press release looked particularly cordial, ¡°Just send it out as it is, I have no comment.¡± 0 The promoter left happily. As if pinpointing the right time, a masked blond man led a line of people to step off the ship and walk towards him. 0 There was another NT on the ship who didn¡¯t come out. PLANT is really full of New Types, only a few days after arriving, he had seen three. 0 ¡°Nice to meet you, Dr. Lingus.¡± The man disembarking interrupted Ade¡¯s thoughts. He dressed in a white uniform, which symbolized his captaincy, ¡°I am Captain Rau Le Creuset of the Eternal, the dedicated support spaceship for Freedom and Justice, and I welcome you on behalf of all members of the Eternal.¡± 0 ¡°Hello, Captain Creuset, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you and I¡¯m honored to meet you today.¡± 0 Soon after joining the army, Creuset joined the One Year War and became famous for his excellent piloting skills, and during one of the battles, he showed his excellent command skills when the commander of his unit was killed in battle. Although he was unable to turn around the defeat of PLANT by himself, his outstanding personal ability allowed him to be quickly promoted to the ZAFT White Uniform. 0 Ade went up and shook his hand, silently criticizing ZAFT¡¯s military discipline in his heart that their soldiers can wear masks! He once checked Char¡¯s historical record and found him also wear a mask before. 0 The world does have a person named Zeon Zum Deikun, who is said to be the spiritual mentor of the PLANT, but unfortunately died young and didn¡¯t leave much in history. Judging from the fact that Char wore a mask in the army, Ade investigated the death of the Zabi family and the location of Char at that time, and he had a very interesting guess. 0 ¡°Doctor, do you care about this mask?¡± Creuset noticed Ade¡¯s line of sight and pointed to his own mask, ¡°I have always been an admirer of the Red Comet, this is just a poor imitation as an admirer. If you really mind, I can take it off.¡± (PS: Char, The Red Comet (³à¤¤åçÐÇ Akai suisei)) 0 Ade can only graciously say that he doesn¡¯t mind it, you can continue to wear it. 0 In the company of Creuset, Ade visited the various areas of the Eternity, while looking at it and secretly comparing it with his own Blue-eyes White Dragon. The decoration and interior of Blue-eyes White Dragon are superior. although one is the newest battleship and the other is a second-hand spaceship modified by himself, but the difference between a battleship and a civil spaceship is still very big. C.C. is especially willing to spend money on this piece. 0 But the ship is equipped with some heavy artilleries in his view is not much use ¨C you already have Justice and Freedom! There is no need for the ship to attack! 0 After arriving at the hangar, today¡¯s trip finally came to the main event. There were two brand new MSs parked in the hangar, and at the foot of the MSs, soldiers in red and green stood in neat formation. 0 The two Gundams, when Ade handed them over, were unpainted. All this post-production work was done last by ZAFT. For things like color selection, if the pilot has a request, they will generally try to meet it. 0 However, what stood before him was Justice painted green and Freedom painted red. Ade¡¯s eyelids jumped slightly and he was almost about to complain. He resisted the urge and tried to remain calm as he looked over at Creuset. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, let me introduce you to these two MS pilots.¡± Creuset gestured towards the queue, and two young men in red uniforms stepped up to the front of the queue and stood at attention after giving a military salute, ¡°This is the dedicated pilot of Freedom Gundam ¨C Athrun Zala, and the other is the dedicated pilot of Justice Gundam ¨C Glemy Toto.¡± 0 Ade nodded to the two who had stepped out of line, then looked at Athrun with a subtle look. They had met before on some awkward occasion, and Ade never thought it wouldn¡¯t be long before they met again. Athrun stared straight ahead without squinting, and Ade always felt that he was embarrassed to meet his own eyes. 0 Freedom Gundam is equipped with the D.R.A.G.O.N. system, so it has a relatively high requirement for the pilot. If the leader of the unit is a smart man, it basically shows that Athrun¡¯s driving level is a bit higher than the one next to him. 0 Considering that Kira had already become a general in Orb Union, but Athrun, as the son of the senator, was still here wearing red clothes and driving Gundam. How can the gap between people be so big? 0 Ade also looked at the pilot of Justice, Glemy Toto. This one is expressionless, but the sense of the spiritual field betrayed him: he is the NT Ade just sensed. 0 The Glemy he remembered was an ambitious man, but this one in front of him looked like he was only 15 or 16 years old, at most just graduated from military school. But this is the first time we meet today, right? Why is Glemy showing undisguised malice through the mental link? Ade was puzzled. 0 ¡°Captain Creuset, may I ask,¡± Ade gestured to Glemy with his eyes, ¡°this one looks like he¡¯s only fifteen or sixteen, is the age of recruitment for ZAFT already that low?¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, Glemy is an excellent talent selected by Senator Aznable.¡± Creuset talked well and behaved elegantly, just like a replica Char, ¡°The amazing talent he showed in the New Type Institute was valued by Senator Aznable, and was personally selected by Senator Aznable as the pilot for the new Gundam, and his skills are second to none in the ZAFT army. Doctor, you were also this young when you became famous back then, right?¡± 0 ¡°I see.¡± Ade nodded in a pretentious manner. 0 Creuset began to meticulously introduce several other ship crew members to him again, and he expressed his appreciation while listening. 0 At this point, he already had a rough idea of the distribution of power in ZAFT¡¯s army. The Eternal, as the most powerful fighting unit of ZAFT nowadays, the distribution of the personnel on it is basically an abbreviated version of the ZAFT power distribution map, and all the powers will stuff as many people as possible into it. Captain Creuset is Zala¡¯s beloved, and the pilot of Freedom Gundam, Athrun is Zala¡¯s own son, which shows the great influence of Zala in the force. Since Char was able to stuff Glemy in as a righteous pilot, the so-called Zabi remnants in the force obviously still have quite a bit of residual power. 0 The most ironic thing is that the Eternal, as a tool of violence at the disposal of the PLANT Supreme Council, does not have a single man of Clyne. Clyne had hinted to Ade about his own powerlessness in military affairs, and he had thought it was just self-abasement. But now he was afraid that it might be true. At least on the Eternal, Clyne was just a mere figurehead. 0 As far as Ade knows, Clyne¡¯s strongest man in the force, Ramba Ral, known as the Great Blue Star, was killed in the One Year War. After which Ramba Ral¡¯s disciple Andrew Butterfield continued as Clyne¡¯s ally in the army. In contrast to the ship¡¯s staffing, this Butterfield¡¯s prestige in the army should still have a small gap from a famous general like Creuset. 0 After that, the day¡¯s itinerary was almost at an end. 0 This visit, on the one hand, is because the completion of the two Gundams needs to have a heavyweight on the news to show his face; on the other hand, he was invited to participate in the anniversary tribute of the Bloody Valentine War on the 14th. At that time, the Eternity will be the designated transport to escort the event participants to the site of Junius 7, as her first mission after leaving port. 0 Originally, this kind of event was not very auspicious, but Speaker Clyne personally invited Ade and assured him that the Eternal and one of the nuclear-powered Gundam would escort him all the way. Even if he didn¡¯t have confidence in ZAFT, he still had confidence in the Gundam he had made, and it would be a great loss of prestige to refuse such a public service activity. After a little hesitation, he simply agreed to go. 0 It is worth mentioning that during this trip, Uraki is driving V2AB ¨C it¡¯s normal for the father of Gundam¡¯s bodyguard to drive a Gundam, right? As for the high maintenance costs of V2AB ¨C they are naturally paid by ZAFT. In case there are really any terrorists, Freedom plus V2AB are enough to eliminate all dangers. 0 Of course, Lacus will attend the whole event as an ambassador of peace ¨C but he didn¡¯t know it before he agreed to go ¨C which Uraki can fully testify. 0 ¡°Looking at these elite soldiers, I am confident about the travel on 14th.¡± Ade showed a satisfied smile to Creuset, ¡°Such a strong strength will be able to deter those ungrateful curmudgeons, I think.¡± 0 ¡°Please rest assured, Doctor, the Eternal will definitely complete her first mission successfully and will never fail to meet everyone¡¯s expectations.¡± Creuset also laughed. The accompanying staff followed and everyone was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere. 0 At the same time, the atmosphere on the other ship was somewhat solemn. 0 This is a restaurant compartment on the passenger ship to PLANT, in which six silent young boys and girls and a man who is talking are sitting. 0 ¡°In twenty minutes, the passenger ship will do a power overhaul and I will take the opportunity to leave through the emergency exit and return to Alexandria.¡± The six boys and girls in front of him let out an uneasy stir, and Scirocco skillfully used his mental powers to calm them down one by one. ¡°Everyone check one last time. Have you brought enough medicine? Have you memorized the map? Is there anything unclear about the operation? After I get off the ship, all evidence will be destroyed immediately.¡± 0 The six boys and girls dawdled for a few more minutes until everyone nodded. 0 ¡°I stress one last time, from the time I get off the ship, absolutely no un-tourist-like behavior allowed. The two groups are absolutely not allowed to contact each other and make sure to take enough medicine before the operation. We will act on time at 14th, and all with the goal of bringing Justice and Freedom back to Alexandria as the highest priority.¡± 0 The six people nodded obediently again. No, these do not count as people at all, they can only be considered as consumable supplies. 0 Those who can fully and rationally use the resources are truly excellent generals. This operation will definitely be successful, and then my prestige in the Federation army, no, in the entire Earth circle will certainly be as high as the sky. The troops have enough trashes like Hymem, how can I, Scirocco, an unparalleled hero, subordinate to such people? 0 But Hymem, this old dog, can get this level of confidential information, this is really out of his expectation. It seems that this old dog still has some secrets. 0 ¡°Britannia¡¯s Schneizel said that I am a general, but I disagree, I think a warrior¡¯s life and death should be decided by himself.¡± Scirocco coldly scanned over the boys and girls in front of him and lifted the cup on the table, ¡°I wish you all a good journey in PLANT. Cheers!¡± 0 PS: so far, 3 5-star votes, 1 3-star vote, and 3 1-star votes on Novel Updates. Half of the votes are negative.

CH 32 Chapter 32: The Wolf Is Coming 0 Lacus leaned against the window in the corridor, looking out at the starry sky with some melancholy. In the distance, the hourglass-like wreckage could already be barely discernible in her field of vision, and as the Eternal got closer and closer to Junius 7, the hourglass gradually grew larger in her eyes. She couldn¡¯t hear any of the voices of the dead, but her heart was still as heavy as if she felt the load of 240,000 souls. 0 She saw Athrun just now, and he had a very sad expression on his face, remembering his mother who had passed away, right? Auntie Zala died in the Bloody Valentine Event, and Uncle Zala could not forget the hatred. But Athrun was a gentle child who learned only to be sad, not to hate. 0 ¡°You have become a pilot of Freedom Gundam, shouldering the responsibility of protecting PLANT, looking at the current you from the heaven, Auntie Zala will smile and bless you, right.¡± She comforted Athrun as she did, ¡°It is because we know the pain that you have to use your strength to guard the hard-won peace, isn¡¯t it?¡± 0 Watching Athrun leave with a relieved expression, she felt much better about herself. It wasn¡¯t hypocrisy, it was just the natural empathy of being a human. 0 She knew what power her voice and words carried, and she knew how to use that power. Sometimes it¡¯s her armor to protect herself, sometimes it¡¯s her weapon of wisdom, sometimes it¡¯s her tool to inspire people, but today, she¡¯s going without it. 0 Politicians don¡¯t need lovers or friends, so she never fell in love or made any friends. But she made a pact with her father to fight for her own happiness. Even if there is no way to choose someone you like at will, it is okay to choose and then slowly fall in love with each other, right? 0 Showing sincerity to gain trust, becoming friends with common topics, trying to like each other ¨C three steps to get it done. The perfect plan. 0 She had no experience in this kind of thing, but she thought it shouldn¡¯t be difficult with her emotional intelligence. Mr. Ade seems to have been prejudiced against her, thinking that everything she does is an act. He hides it badly and she can easily see it. The solution is simple, just don¡¯t act. So that Mr. Ade will immediately notice that she treats him differently, and after that, everything will go smoothly as planned. 0 ¡°Hello, Mr. Ade.¡± She smiled and uttered a greeting to the person passing by, who responded politely but looked a little distracted. Beside him, Mr. Bodyguard consciously stood a little further away. She investigated the identity of the bodyguard and was surprised to find that it was that famous Phantom ACE who had just been released from prison. As a former ACE of the Federation, was he attracted by Mr. Ade¡¯s identity or personality to be his bodyguard? 0 She noticed Ade¡¯s eyes on her hairpin, which was the gift from him earlier. There was no intention to please him, she had no need to do such a thing. It was just that she really liked the style of the hairpin. 0 Here is the first step in the plan, and a good entry point. The fact that the other party chose a hairpin that she liked shows that both sides have a similar level of aesthetics, and it¡¯s a good place to start. All she has to do is to convey the fact that she really likes the hairpin to the other party, so as to remove his wariness and close the distance. 0 ¡°I replaced the hairpin that Mr. Ade gave me earlier.¡± She tilted her head in the direction of the hairpin, and her long hair fluttered gently with it, which was a very cute pose, and she hoped to make the other party put his attention on herself through this action, ¡°I like this hairpin very much.¡± 0 The person in front of her faltered under her cute pose for about a second, and then immediately changed back to his original appearance. She understands that the impact of appearance is always limited, for example, Aznable is never moved by her appearance, always a look of ¡°you continue to play, I will look and not say anything¡±. But it¡¯s okay, she has a trump card. 0 ¡°This hairpin is very similar to the previous one, but it¡¯s a little cuter.¡± She said in her most sincere tone without any acting skills, ¡°Ade-san, did you choose the crescent-shaped one because you are from the moon?¡± 0 ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t think too much about it, it¡¯s just that this one looks better.¡± The person in front of her had a shy smile. He shouldn¡¯t be very good at dealing with girls, not the same as Athrun, who has much luck with women. 0 But she recognized this look. It was the same as Aznable¡¯s, ¡°Acting, it¡¯s all acting, I just pretended not to notice.¡± She was used to dealing with this kind of attitude before, but at this moment it somehow seemed so uncomfortable. Her sincere tone didn¡¯t work, and it didn¡¯t seem to have any different from the acting she did before in his eyes. 0 ¡°It seems like we have similar aesthetics, I really like this style!¡± This was the most sincere tone she had ever used with someone other than her father, she was just trying to convey the fact that she really liked this hairpin, was it hard? Why does Ade-san continue to act as if she is acting oblivious? 0 ¡°Oh, so, I¡¯m glad you like it.¡± Why? Why do you still put on an expression that goes along with my appearance? 0 ¡°Did Ade-san once tell father-sama that war never changes?¡± She looked at Junius 7 in the distance and tried to change the subject. It was hard to show the difference by liking something as trivial as a hairpin, she needed something that would allow her to show emotion, ¡°Is it pessimist? I still believe in the existence of peace yet.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe in peace, it¡¯s just that I think war is a natural phenomenon that can¡¯t be eliminated. A permanent, absolute peace is impossible to achieve.¡± 0 ¡°But even so, I want to do my best to fight for peace, I never want this to happen again. This is my first and most important ideal.¡± She looked out at the wreckage of the great hourglass, and the heavy sadness slowly spilled out unconsciously. This was her father¡¯s ideal, and also her ideal, and this sense of grief and mission had always constituted a source of strength for her. 0 He should be able to understand, right? She herself was not a bloodless and tearless politician, and she had a deep emotion as her core. This was her wholehearted, unreserved, and truest self. 0 ¡°What a lofty ideal, worthy of being Clyne-san¡¯s daughter.¡± Insincere words. 0 She turned her head to look at the person beside her and was instantly taken over by a wave of annoyance. Why is he still looking at me with this expression? Is a woman who has told a lie not qualified to tell the truth anymore? 0 As the conversation continued, an increasing sense of powerlessness wrapped around her. No matter what she said or did, the other party always reacted like ¡°you¡¯re doing a good job on acting¡±. I¡¯m not acting anymore! I¡¯m trying so hard to show my heart. Can¡¯t you see that? 0 She didn¡¯t want to keep trying. She is a smart person, there is no need to dwell on it, it is impossible to say something like ¡°I am not acting, please believe me¡±. The conversation between the two people can already be seen to conclude. 0 When the other person insists that everything she does is an act, there is no way to prove that something is not an act no matter what she does. Unless she suddenly becomes a New Type, there is simply no way to convince him that she really just likes this hairpin. Not only that, there was no way to prove to him that she was sincere in everything she said. It is not exaggerated, nor is it trivial, it is just a simple deduction that anyone with a normal IQ can draw. 0 Is it so difficult to exchange trust with sincerity? 0 There had never been such a need before, and she had always thought it was easy. Now when she did have it, she found that she simply couldn¡¯t do it. There was no point in even blaming the other person, she herself didn¡¯t know how to prove sincerity. When every expression and every lie is as perfect as the truth, every true word becomes a lie, right? How simple it is. It turns out that I have long lost the qualification to tell the truth. 0 Whether it¡¯s an opinion or an emotion, it can¡¯t be conveyed to the other person at all. She thinks the other party is an interesting person, so what? In his view, all her performance is not out of self-expression, all are acting. Even if she really likes him one day, when she confesses her love, her words will be treated as an act, right? Even if she makes love with this person, her performance in bed will be treated as an act, right? 0 So good luck is really a fool¡¯s errand. The daughter of a politician is an insurmountable curse, and it is probably the best choice to choose someone who has no opinion to live the rest of her life. But is Athrun a good match? He is just an unprincipled puppet. Compared with Aznable, he is just another extreme. 0 So that¡¯s how it is. From the beginning, I have no choice at all. I always thought that politicians do not need friendship and love, but that¡¯s just self-deception. Not that they don¡¯t need it, but simply can not get it. Losing the qualification of happiness is the price of being a politician. 0 Father is the same, as evidenced by the fact that he doesn¡¯t have a single friend. Besides, does he really love my mother? He¡¯s full of lies, and he can¡¯t be trusted at all, right? Why does he force his own daughter when he obviously can¡¯t do it? 0 This is meaningless. When I go back, I should talk to dad and choose according to what¡¯s at stake, that¡¯s the easiest way. 0 ¡°Ade-san, I have to prepare for the event afterwards, sorry but I have to leave.¡± With a relieved smile, she gave Ade a salute and turned to leave. That would be fine, it was long overdue. 0 ¡°Doctor, did you upset Miss Clyne? Why did you end it with speaking only¡­ like two sentences?¡± Mr. Bodyguard¡¯s voice came from behind, ¡°Do you want me to teach you a few tricks?¡± 0 ¡°Stop it.¡± It was his voice, it was a little far away almost inaudible, but she didn¡¯t care much anymore, ¡°¡­ delusion? ¡­ very much like ¡­ hairpin¡­¡± 0 Things have come to this point ¡­ 0 She took a deep breath and forced herself to resist the urge to turn around. There is no point, just be yourself. You are a woman with a politician¡¯s heart, and you will always be in the future. 0 Soon after, the Eternal arrived at the Junius 7 site, where Lacus gave a heartfelt speech that made many crews cry with sadness. Then, under her leadership, all the crew members faced the satellite wreckage and observed a three-minute silence. 0 The activity ended successfully soon. Returning to the cabin, Lacus was not in the mood to do anything serious, so she opened the computer, fiddling with her hair. Her fingers unintentionally touched something hard, ah, it is the hairpin ¡­ 0 Think about it, I haven¡¯t thanked him properly after I received this gift. It¡¯s still early in the day before the break, so let me go say thank you formally. That¡¯s all. 0 Coming outside Ade¡¯s cabin, she took a few more deep breaths and then pressed the pager on the door, ¡°Mr. Ade, is that you there? This is Lacus Clyne.¡± 0 The electronic door opened in response, and Mr. Ade and his bodyguard were sitting opposite each other in the room, and both stood up at the same time when they saw her enter. 0 ¡°Miss Clyne, please come in.¡± Mr. Bodyguard invited her into the door and then headed out, ¡°Doctor, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter. I need to go back to my room for a moment. I¡¯ll be right back!¡± 0 She looked at the bodyguard who left in a hurry and laughed a little, is this the famous Phantom ACE? But¡­ it seems that this person probably respects Ade-san, otherwise, he would not do this to this extent, without any regard for his own grace. 0 ¡°Lacus, that was a great speech just now.¡± He still put on the same expression, I should have known it, ¡°Is there something you want to see me about at this time?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not anything particularly important.¡± She gave a skilled, formulaic smile, ¡°It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn¡¯t thanked Ade-san properly even once after receiving this gift, I was so rude.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, don¡¯t mind.¡± 0 ¡°But manners are still important. Thank you for the birthday present, Ade-san. I¨C¡± She was reluctant and wanted to try one last time. Just once. Father-sama had said that it was okay to be a little capricious, but what kind of expression should I make at this time? ¡°-I really like this hairpin, it¡¯s cute.¡± 0 The same smile as before, a cute, charming smile that makes it completely impossible to tell if it¡¯s real or an act. Sorry, I really only know this kind of smile. 0 ¡°Actually, I picked this hairpin at random, and I felt a little guilty before.¡± The person in front of her has a confused expression for some reason. There is nothing to hesitate, nothing to be confused about, just keep acting like ¡°you keep acting, I¡¯m watching¡± and everything will be over. But he did not, why? Why did you suddenly smile? ¡°I do not know if it is a delusion, but¡­ today¡¯s Lacus is a little different. I can feel that you genuinely like the hairpin, so in that case, I¡¯m happy too.¡± 0 Please don¡¯t use such sly words! It¡¯ll make me misunderstand! 0 Her mind was in a mess, not knowing what to think or how to organize her words, she blurted out as if she had consumed all her courage, ¡°I¨C¡° 0 ¡°¨CNumber one alert! Number one alert!¡± The blinding emergency lights came on, the cabin door was automatically locked, and the announcement was deafeningly loud, ¡°An unknown number of intruders detected! Expected to be armed! Signs of fighting near the cargo bay detected! All non-combatants please remain indoors until the alarm is lifted! Repeat, number one alert! Number one alert ¡­¡± CH 33 Chapter 33: Forced Capture Is a Part of Gundam 0 Stella hid behind the cover and skillfully changed magazines. Time is running out, the enemy¡¯s reinforcements will arrive at any moment. 0 The six people disguised as tourists, divided into two three-person teams, and the target is Justice Gundam and Freedom Gundam. Freedom Gundam was on the Eternal, three of them have lurked on the ship early, only to wait for the mourning event to be over. Justice Gundam is parked in the ZAFT military base, and her group is responsible for infiltrating in to take it by force. 0 Although there is a map of the military base, they were still discovered in the hangar. Sting Oakley has been killed, only she and Auel Neider were still alive. 0 The mission must be completed, and the Gundam can only be driven by one person, that is to say, between she and Auel, there must be one to attract firepower, the other to seize the MS. she is closer to Justice Gundam, then Auel will go to attract firepower. Everything takes precedence over the mission, and life doesn¡¯t matter. Both she and Auel understand that. 0 She confirmed a look with Auel behind the cover on the other side, then threw a homemade smoke grenade into the crowd. This was the last one. Auel used the last clip to start the cover fire, and she took advantage of this chance to lunge in the direction of Justice Gundam. 0 A green-clad soldier suddenly raised his gun in front of her, and this is the last obstacle between her and the cockpit. Under the effect of drugs, her reflexes exceeded even a part of Coordinators. She stared at the wrist of the opponent, the moment the other side fired, she spurted to his side and then skillfully cut open his neck. 0 No need to be faster than the bullet, faster than the person who fired would be enough. 0 Stella opened the cockpit according to the instructions from memory, jumped in, and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. The last moment of closing the hatch she saw Auel being shot to pieces, but she was indifferent. Well done, the mission is half done. 0 Justice Gundam¡¯s systems started to boot up and the modules began to load. As written in the action plan, the trickiest password authentication was turned on, and she knew the password. 0 But this boot screen, this operating system, this conch-shaped pattern in the bottom right corner that was so faint as to be almost invisible¡­ in addition to the ZAFT logo displayed in the center of the screen, all indicated that this was designed by Adrien Lingus. Stella remembered that she saw on TV a few days ago that this was a completely self-developed ZAFT production. These adults are so shameless, just like on Earth. 0 The last time she checked the medicine in her pocket, there was still enough to last until the arrival of Alexander. Ready to go. 0 In the next second, Justice Gundam shot up into the sky amidst the shocked gazes of the ZAFT soldiers. The backpack on the fuselage¡¯s back spewing out a searing stream of flame as it headed off into the universe. The other remaining MSs in the Cosport had no chance of catching up with Justice Gundam in terms of speed or energy. The Senators of the Supreme Council were the first to learn of this news and immediately sent communications to the Eternal. 0 And at this moment on the Eternal, Ade also fell into shock. 0 According to the plots in general romance movies, this time, Ade should ask, ¡°What did you just want to say?¡± and Lacus would reply, ¡°Nothing, you misheard¡±, then they look at each other for a while. Then Ade showed a gentle smile, and Lacus was encouraged in the head and finally said ¡°in fact, I love¡­¡±, so the plot can progress in the happy direction. 0 But he is not thinking about this now, instead, his mind is full of questions. Intruders? How did they get on the ship? Or were they lurking on the ship before sailing? What was the purpose? Was ZAFT so useless? Can even such an important battleship, the Eternal mix in with the enemy? 0 ¡°I just hope the enemy¡¯s purpose is not Freedom Gundam.¡± Lacus found a seat and sat down, looking worried, completely forgetting what she had just wanted to say, ¡°Otherwise, it means that the anti-Neutron Jammer has been exposed, and there is the possibility of war again.¡± 0 ¡°But sooner or later it will be exposed, right?¡± Ade did not think so, ¡°The moon already knows it, and it is only a matter of time for the Earth Federation to know it.¡± 0 ¡°I understand.¡± Lacus gave him a bitter smile, ¡°We will transfer the technology of Neutron Jammer Canceller someday, but definitely not in this way.¡± 0 ¡°You agree to transfer the technology?¡± This is the first time Ade has heard of this. Is this Lacus¡¯ distinctive ruling philosophy? 0 ¡°Yes, it will even be given out for sure.¡± Seeing his interested look, Lacus patiently explained, ¡°Originally, the Clyne faction did not support Neutron Jammer Canceller¡¯s research, but since it¡¯s already there, we can only maximize its value. Once the Earth Federation knows of its existence, it will certainly threaten us to hand it over, and here we can use the negotiations to delay it for a while while we expand our forces and prepare for war. After that, the Earth Federation will most likely declare war, and we are unlikely to win the war, but we can use the energy advantage to cause some warfare in the early stages.¡± 0 ¡°Using war for peace?¡± 0 ¡°Exactly, when the time comes, we can make active peace talks during a period of strategic advantage. the Earth Federation is only a loose political alliance, and for the more neutral and energy-consuming countries in it like China, exchanging Neutron Jammer Canceller for nuclear fuel is perfectly acceptable.¡± 0 ¡°So the core idea is obtaining nuclear for self-defense?¡± It seems that Lacus¡¯ plan at least sounds more reliable than her father¡¯s one. 0 ¡°Use nuclear deterrence and nuclear bundling to re-establish strategic balance, after which Neutron Jammer Canceller can even be used to trade with more countries. This would usher in a longer period of peaceful development, at which point PLANT could rapidly upgrade its technology. With Coordinator¡¯s ability, it is perfectly possible to develop the next stage of technological superiority during this time and then form a virtuous cycle.¡± 0 Looking at Lacus, Ade was a bit dismayed. She always tried hard to act like a teenage girl, like she always acted to the others. To be honest, the acting was quite good. But what was going on now? As if she didn¡¯t care to show her side as a politician. 0 ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do I have something on my face?¡± Lacus looked at him with a curious look, ¡°Or is there something wrong with what I said?¡± 0 ¡°No, there is no problem, what you said is indeed a viable method. It¡¯s just that,¡± he hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it, ¡°I always feel that there is something different about you.¡± 0 ¡°There is? It¡¯s Ade-san¡¯s delusion, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lacus put on that familiar, cute, perfect-as-an-actor smile again, ¡°I¡¯ve always been like this today, really, all the time ¡­¡± 0 The atmosphere became a little strange again, it seemed like a good time to ask ¡°what were you trying to say before¡±, but intuition told Ade not to pursue the question, and he chose to trust it. Recently, he has been trusting his intuition more and more, does his thinking mode generally become an NT¡¯s? But no matter how Lacus behaves, there must be her deeper meaning and purpose in it. There is no need to dwell on this. 0 ¡°How did the enemy sneak onto the ship?¡± He decided to change the subject, this atmosphere is too weird, ¡°is not the Eternal ZAFT¡¯s top-level secret? Or was there a mutiny on board?¡± 0 ¡°Mutiny is unlikely, everyone on board has undergone a rigorous background check.¡± Seeing that Ade did not mean to continue, Lacus seemed to be relieved, ¡°The biggest possibility is to have lurked on the ship beforehand. After the event is over, when everyone is most relaxed, it¡¯s the best time to launch an attack. Think about it this way, it is the most reliable guess that a mole had leaked information beforehand.¡± 0 ¡°Then, if we consider in this direction, is Justice Gundam also in danger?¡± In Ade¡¯s mind, the military bases in this world are not guarded, which is the reason why all Gundams he designed have very complex power-on passwords. Unfortunately, some people just refused to use this function, perhaps because of some military regulations. As you can see, the GP02 has been snatched away in this way. Anyway, not his fault. 0 In addition to his Inle, which is controlled by Alice, F91 and V2 have boot authentication, even Blue-eyes White Dragon has a start-up code that only C.C. knows ¨C anyway, he doesn¡¯t know how to drive the ship. 0 ¡°Justice is placed in a heavily fortified military site over there, so it¡¯s unlikely anyhow.¡± Lacus didn¡¯t care when she looked at Ade¡¯s disbelieving expression. A moment later, when the alarm was lifted, he would realize that she was right. 0 The two talked for a while and then ran out of topics. Ade was not familiar with Lacus to that point, he could not find so many topics to talk about, what surprised him was that Lacus did not take the initiative to find topics, it seems that today she is not normal. 0 Ade looked out the window and thought about other things. The window is actually only the broadcast of the monitor outside the ship. The red light of the alarm was a little bright, and the reflection in the room obscured the view of the starry sky. 0 The screen reflected Lacus, and she took off her hairpin and tossed it between her fingers, looking at it with a smile on her lips. After playing with it for a while and bringing it back, she then looked up and suddenly saw herself on the screen. The eyes of the two met and she put on that perfect smile again. 0 This was the third time today that she felt that way. She probably really liked the hairpin. But that thought was a bit self-serving and he didn¡¯t quite want to admit it, and he couldn¡¯t tell if the other party was intentionally trying to give himself that misunderstanding. After all, it was Lacus. 0 After another moment, the alarm was finally disarmed, and the door lock of the room was automatically opened. Within a few seconds, Uraki appeared at the door, ¡°Doctor, are you okay?!¡± 0 ¡°Yes, you¡¯re just in time, let¡¯s go to the bridge.¡± He looked at Lacus, and she nodded to indicate that they would go together. He and Lacus obviously had the authority to do so. 0 The three arrived at the bridge, and both Creuset and Athrun were there. There was blood on Athrun, who himself did not appear to be injured, presumably from an intruder or a wounded comrade. Athrun nodded to them, or only to Lacus. 0 ¡°Captain Creuset, may I ask what happened?¡± Lacus asked out loud. It was indeed much more convenient for her to ask at such a time. No matter what, he was always an outsider. 0 ¡°Miss Lacus, Dr. Lingus, it¡¯s great that you two are safe.¡± Creuset stirred slightly and slowly floated in front of him, ¡°Three terrorists have invaded the Eternal in an attempt to forcibly seize the Freedom Gundam, all have been killed so far. We are in contact with the headquarters. The enemy is likely to have accomplices outside, you should return to the room.¡± 0 ¡°Captain, contacted Senator Zala.¡± The CIC staff glanced at Ade and Lacus. 0 Creuset moved again and drifted to the man¡¯s side, picked up the headset, and started talking to Zala, nodding his head every now and then. His voice was so low that Ade couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. After a while, he hung up the communication and turned on the ship-wide broadcast. 0 ¡°Attention all personnel. Fifteen minutes ago, ZAFT Cosport was attacked by terrorists, our newest MS, Justice Gundam was taken by the enemy by force and is currently escaping. The latest mission received by this ship is to intercept Justice Gundam at all costs. All combat personnel get ready for battle. All non-combatants please return to your rooms. This ship will not return until the mission is completed. Repeat ¡­¡± 0 Ade looked at Lacus, and Lacus¡¯ face was filled with disbelief. 0 ¡°I thought only the Federation bases leak like sieves, but it turns out ZAFT is too.¡± Uraki whispered in a low voice, ¡°Trashes are samely bad all over the world.¡± 0 ¡°Excuse me.¡± Creuset came over again, with an apologetic tone, ¡°The mission of this ship has been changed, this is the highest priority. You will just have to endure until the end of the mission.¡± 0 ¡°Creuset Captain, there are many ordinary people on board who have come to attend the event besides Dr. Lingus and myself.¡± Lacus had a bargaining tone, ¡°Can we send these people back with a lifeboat first? Not that we doubt our combat power, but we can¡¯t involve civilians in a dangerous engagement.¡± 0 ¡°With all due respect, Miss Lacus, you are still too naive.¡± Creuset waved his hand gracefully, ¡°As I said earlier, there are probably enemy associates lurking outside now, and it is the most dangerous to release the lifeboats at such times. At times like this, the ship is instead the safest.¡± 0 Lacus seemed convinced and did not continue the argument. But Ade did not trust Creuset at all and was ready to run at any time. Although V2 was powered by a battery and it¡¯s impossible to fly to the nearest human settlement, a call to the moon for help was still possible. The Queen couple will come to take him back. 0 However, if Justice is really taken away, it is equivalent to the Earth Federation will have Neutron Jammer Canceller. Will they have a war? C.C. is still on Earth. I hope Creuset can stop ¡­ Wait a minute, Creuset? From my understanding of his character, it¡¯s impossible for him to take Justice back! 0 He looked at Lacus, who still knew nothing about it, and thought about how much he would gain if he told her this information. Rationally speaking, he was very much in favor of Lacus¡¯s ruling philosophy, and he also longed for a period of peace. Black technology, aliens, God knows what else. Can both sides stop for a while? 0 So if Lacus really controlled PLANT, such a ruler is actually in line with his interests, at least better than Zala and Char. 0 ¡°Both of you, please don¡¯t worry.¡± A bright smile appeared on Creuset¡¯s face, as if a particularly happy thing had happened, ¡°I will definitely not let our army¡¯s top secrets fall into the hands of the enemy, definitely not!¡± CH 34 Chapter 34: Heaven on Earth 0 In the briefing room of the Eternal, Creuset was explaining the next battle plan. 0 ¡°Due to the presence of civilians on board,¡± he nodded to Ade, ¡°this operation will be MS-based, with warships staying out of the battle as much as possible. We cannot track the location of Justice Gundam, so the main strategy for this operation is to predict the enemy¡¯s course of action and intercept it.¡± 0 The Creuset at the front of the room had an upright figure, blond hair, and a confident look that made people unconsciously feel convinced. If Ade didn¡¯t know the real character of this man, he would also be cheated. 0 Ade is now guessing Creuset¡¯s thoughts, ¡°The gods of fate are really on my side! Mankind is really doomed to retribution! I am now going to ¡­ be ¡­¡± I am not a psychopath, how do I know what a psychopath wants! 0 Serious analysis, what Creuset wants should be a war, and the nuclear balance being broken should be the easiest stimulus, not only for Earth, but for PLANT as well. 0 What I have to do now is to try to ensure that Neutron Jammer Canceller cannot be handed over to the Earth Federation, which is in my interest. 0 There are three good possibilities for the enemies: getting only Justice, getting only Freedom, or getting both of them, and their final aim should be bursting into the atmosphere. Assuming that the enemy withdraws by the shortest route, at least three possible courses of action can be predicted based on the speed of Gundam. All the Eternal has to do is choose one of these possible routes to intercept. 0 ¡°The best place to intercept is these places. I choose this place, where has the highest probability of encountering the enemy in my calculation.¡± 0 The location chosen by Creuset is closest to the atmosphere, and it¡¯s not wrong to say that the probability is the highest. But Justice Gundam is able to burst into the atmosphere alone. If the enemy escapes into the atmosphere, they have no way to stop the enemy. However, Creuset is the supreme commander, and Ade has no right to stop him. 0 ¡°The enemy is Justice Gundam, and the pilot is likely to be an ACE. The ship¡¯s mass-produced battleplanes are not necessary to go out, Athrun and I will be enough. Athrun, do you have any problem with this?¡± 0 ¡°No problem, Captain!¡± Athrun stood at attention and saluted, looking reliable, or at least reliable for now. 0 ¡°Captain Creuset, sorry to interrupt.¡± Ade raised his hand and interrupted him, ¡°Uraki is also a precious ACE, so to prevent the world from being destroyed and to guard the peace of the world, please let him take part in as well.¡± 0 ¡°This is an internal ZAFT matter, never involve a civilian like you!¡± Of course, he would refuse. If there were three ACEs, how can he act and let go of the enemy? ¡°The enemy is not familiar with the operation of Justice Gundam, don¡¯t worry, here is enough with me and Athrun.¡± 0 ¡°No, no, no, this is not just an internal matter of ZAFT. Since I am on this ship, this involves my safety. Even if it¡¯s just to protect my own safety, V2 must go together.¡± 0 Ade sensed a flash of mockery from Creuset, probably Creuset thought that he was too timid? But that worked in the end. Creuset didn¡¯t refuse Uraki to go with them after that. 0 After that, Creuset began to explain the battle plan in detail. After the meeting adjourned, Ade returned to the room and Uraki followed. 0 ¡°Doctor, what should I do? Do I really need to attack Justice Gundam?¡± 0 ¡°Of course, you know about Neutron Jammer Canceller. I don¡¯t want to see it falling into the hands of the Federation. It may lead to war.¡± Ade opened his work laptop and began drawing simple schematics, ¡°It would be ideal for you to find an opportunity to blow up Justice while keeping yourself safe.¡± 0 ¡°But Doctor, it is a nuclear-powered Gundam that you designed yourself.¡± Uraki looked a bit unsure of himself, ¡°The last time I fought for real was a mimic battle against Asuka¡¯s F91. I¡¯m not sure I can beat the Federation¡¯s elite.¡± 0 Ade looked at him with a bit of sigh. Uraki is a good man, but he underestimates his own strength too much. But I can¡¯t blame him, because one¡¯s self-confidence is gained from one success after another. 0 ¡°Uraki,¡± Ade said, ¡°although you have now become more and more like a funny character, I do have great trust in your level. The enemy just got the modified Justice, certainly not familiar with the operation. Besides, isn¡¯t the poor man¡¯s V2AB well-designed by me? Moreover, you will fight with Athrun and Creuset, not fight alone. Have some self-confidence!¡± 0 ¡°Modified Justice and poor man¡¯s V2AB? Doctor, I have even less confidence!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you have no problem.¡± Ade showed him the sketches drawn in his notebook, ¡°The modified Justice is probably like this ¨C don¡¯t dwell on words like ¡®modified¡¯, the original version is only in my head, it does not exist. What? What do I mean by the poor man¡¯s V2? The V2 is not powered by nuclear power but by a battery, what¡¯s wrong with calling it a poor man¡¯s Gundam?¡± 0 Then Ade began to explain to Uraki the functions and performance parameters of Justice. As for the specific countermeasures, that is something Uraki should consider himself. 0 ¡°Wait, doctor, I thought of a very serious problem.¡± Uraki suddenly interrupted Ade, full of worry, ¡°Justice Gundam is nuclear powered. Will it cause a nuclear explosion if I shoot it down?¡± 0 ¡°Of course not. Would I come up with that design? After excessive battle damage, the chain reaction will be broken by force. Rest assured to aim at the cockpit.¡± 0 Next, he explained to Uraki for a while, and then Uraki went to make preparations. Ade did not go to the bridge, there was little point, and now he could only trust Uraki. 0 He opened his browser and logged into the technical section of the Anaheim forum and started reading the posts to see what the latest information was. Unfortunately, there was nothing new in the forum, and he was bored while clicking through the pages and thinking about it. 0 It would be nice if he could talk to Alice at this time, but as long as the security problem is not solved, he can¡¯t have Alice with him all the time. Alice is currently authorized to browse the Internet anonymously with a virtual address, but he forbade Alice to communicate with any object, including himself. He could not afford to take the risk. He originally made a protection program called Green Dam, but after seeing TurnA¡¯s encryption technology, he suddenly felt that Green Dam was not safe either. 0 By this time, C.C. should have arrived in Japan, I wonder what she is doing now? How about sending a message asking, ¡°Where are you? Have you eaten?¡± 0 Well, forget it. It¡¯s not the right time to do this. 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Miss C.C., why are we still in Orb Union? It¡¯s been almost half a month.¡± Shinn counted the dates with his fingers, ¡°I only took a month¡¯s leave, so I¡¯ll be counted as unexcused absentee after that¡­¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not Orb Union¡¯s problem, it¡¯s the independence movement over there in Japan now, which made the immigration control very strict. The entry permit is a week later, it makes no sense to leave now.¡± Unexcused absentee? I hope you are fired, then you can only join us! C.C. thought to herself, ¡°If you really think work is more important than Mayu, you can take the boat back now and get tickets for tonight at the earliest.¡± 0 ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine alone now.¡± Mayu turned her chair to face Shinn and made an understanding expression, ¡°Brother¡¯s work is more important.¡± 0 ¡°No no, of course Mayu is more important!¡± Shinn shook his head desperately, ¡°I have no problem staying any longer!¡± 0 Mayu smiled sweetly, and Shinn felt his heart melting. 0 ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t finished the homework assigned by Adrien-san¡­ Miss C.C., can I ask you a few questions?¡± Shinn fished out a small book from his pocket, ¡°I¡¯ve searched online and read some books, but there are still some parts that I don¡¯t quite understand. But if it is Miss C.C., you must understand it!¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Tell me.¡± She knows that Ade has been letting Shinn read and write book reports, but she was curious about what homework he will assign to Shinn. And she felt that there was really quite little she didn¡¯t know, so it was unlikely that she couldn¡¯t answer. 0 Shinn quickly flipped through her little notebook, ¡°Oh, there it is. First, I was asked to analyze whether NewType¡¯s sense is a priori, empirical or transcendental, and briefly explain why. I can probably understand both empirical and transcendental, but I still can¡¯t quite understand what the priori is. Miss C.C., do you understand?¡± 0 C.C. pretended she understood the question and pretended to think for a moment, ¡°Well, there are many different ways to define it, and I suggest you do different specific analyses according to each of them. Next problem, please.¡± 0 ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so good!¡± Mayu looked at her brother with admiration, ¡°I can¡¯t even understand the question!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not even close. Mr. Adrien and Miss C.C. both know much more than me.¡± Shinn scratched his head with some embarrassment and continued flipping through his little book, ¡°The next one was for me to choose any three countries to analyze their current productivity and production relations. I came across a concept called exploitation and labor alienation when I was looking at productivity. I understood exploitation, but I didn¡¯t quite understand the words ¡®labor alienation¡¯.¡± 0 ¡°Pass. The next question.¡± C.C. interrupted him decisively, ¡°This question is rather profound, and I only know it but can¡¯t express it well, it¡¯s better for you to ask Ade directly.¡± 0 ¡°No wonder I didn¡¯t understand it, it turned out to be a question that Miss C.C. doesn¡¯t understand.¡± Shinn again pulled out a stack of manuscript paper and unfolded them, ¡°The final homework is to write a short essay on the political system of the Earth Federation. I have finished it and printed the essay out. Miss C.C. can you help me revise it?¡± 0 ¡°If I help you revise it, it can¡¯t reflect your true level.¡± C.C. didn¡¯t take the printout, but said righteously, ¡°You have to show Ade what you really learned, and it doesn¡¯t matter if your essay is bad. What Ade wants to see is your progress, not fudging to get the job done, got it?¡± 0 Shinn thought seriously about C.C.¡¯s words and nodded, ¡°You make a lot of sense, Miss C.C., I almost went astray. You deserve to be Mr. Adrien¡¯s ¡­ ¡­ er, well ¡­ it¡¯s time to train my driving now!¡± 0 C.C. also did not care much about Shinn¡¯s words. She and Ade have a complicated relationship, it¡¯s difficult for the Asuka siblings to understand. 0 On the contrary, Shinn now every day will drive Gundam out to the high seas for a long time. He claims that it is to make his driving skill less rusty, but according to C.C.¡¯s observation, he just likes that robot a lot. Is this big robot so fun? She can drive it herself and doesn¡¯t find it more interesting than driving a tractor. 0 The most troublesome thing is that this child will always pick up some strange and useless large garbage from the high seas after he is back. There is certainly no room for these things on the boat, and in the end, she told people to throw them all away. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t pick up any more garbage back today.¡± C.C. felt that she had been a bit mentally debilitated by the siblings recently, ¡°It¡¯s troublesome to throw them away every time.¡± 0 ¡°Okay!¡± Shinn nodded hard, but C.C. wasn¡¯t sure if he listened, ¡°No garbage pickup. I understand!¡± CH 35 Chapter 35: Is Downloading the Update CH 36 Chapter 36: Defense-type NT 0 Siegel Clyne stood in front of the fossilized alien creature, his mind racing with thoughts. As the Speaker of ZAFT, he had to come up with a practical and convincing plan. One of the most critical is to convince Patrick and Aznable, and these two are not easy to deal with. 0 He suddenly remembered the look on Dr. Adrien¡¯s face as he stood here, as if he was really worried that aliens would come at any moment. This is the common problem of scholarly people ¨C impracticality. Human civilization has been developing for so many years, how could there be any aliens coming all of a sudden? Adrien thought a little too much. 0 Among the several candidates he chose for his daughter, he himself likes Athrun the most. This boy was weak and unassertive, good for Lacus to control. But since he has promised his daughter, he will not interfere again. 0 Even if Lacus really chose Dr. Adrien, it is also perfectly acceptable. As long as Adrien is willing to join the Clyne family, he would hand the MS Design Bureau to him personally, and even sponsor Adrien the trip to Jupiter. It all depends on how Lacus will give him feedback when she returns. 0 ¡°Your Excellency, you have arrived? Let¡¯s go in.¡± 0 Behind her came Aznable¡¯s voice. Clyne turned around and looked, only to see Aznable and Patrick walking side by side. Is it really that coincidental that these two people ran into each other on the road? He had an unsettling feeling and gave a wink to his men, then calmly greeted the two and entered the Supreme Council Chamber together. 0 The three of them and their bodyguards were the only ones in the meeting room. The situation was serious and the three of them needed to have a meeting before the formal twelve-member council. Usually, when something big happens, the leaders of each party will hold a small meeting before the general assembly to get a consensus. 0 The three of them sat down individually, and Clyne, as the Speaker, was the first to speak, ¡°Luckily this time, the MS that was taken away was successfully destroyed with the help of Dr. Lingus, and the Federation didn¡¯t really get Neutron Jammer Canceller. We now owe him a favor. Now, all we have to do is to hurry up and start talks with the Federation government to show our good faith and avoid a bloody conflict.¡± 0 ¡°Siegel, you¡¯re still thinking about how to show goodwill to the Earth Federation after things have come to this point?¡± Zala sneered, ¡°Since they have known about our Neutron Jammer Canceller, it is imminent that the mad dogs of the Earth Federation will start a war. At this time of PLANT¡¯s life and death, are you still thinking about how to wag your tail and beg for mercy? Isn¡¯t this the time for all Coordinators to unite and defend against foreign enemies?¡± 0 ¡°We must not start a war!¡± Clyne slapped the table hard and raised his voice, ¡°PLANT has no more available soldiers!¡± 0 ¡°No, don¡¯t use your old thinking to judge today¡¯s situation!¡± Zala projected a data onto the big screen, ¡°Open your eyes and see how many battleships, new MSs, and soldiers we have in ZAFT today. Five years, for five years we have been enduring humiliation, isn¡¯t this the right time to revenge?¡± 0 ¡°Do you want to fight against the whole Earth Federation with such a small number of troops? Don¡¯t forget how the One Year War was lost!¡± 0 ¡°Where is the whole Earth Federation? You don¡¯t know anything about the military.¡± Zala said as a world map appeared on the screen, ¡°Now the Eternal is in the South Pacific. With the newest nuclear-powered MS to support, we can take down Orb Union in one fell swoop if we attack them first. With Mass Driver, we can determine when and where to attack and defend, and we will be invincible.¡± 0 ¡°Orb Union is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so even if we occupied Orb Union, we won¡¯t be able to hold and defend it.¡± 0 ¡°Defend? Why should we defend?¡± Zala stood up excitedly, went to the big screen and pointed at the map and said loudly, ¡°The energy crisis in Africa and South Asia has just eased up. As long as we take Australia before European reinforcements arrive, we will have an arsenal! We have the uranium mines! When the time comes to kill all the way from Africa to Europe, a nuclear bomb will explode in the Earth Federation headquarters! I want to see them bleed! Pain! Die! Blood!¡± 0 ¡°Do you think Britannia is blind?¡± 0 ¡°Britannia is busy solving the Japanese independence movement. I bet Britannia and the Earth Federation are unwilling to go to war on two fronts! If the bet is won, PLANT will be qualified to redraw the map!¡± 0 ¡°A bet?¡± Clyne looked at his old friend¡¯s twisted face with a pain in his heart, ¡°You are pulling the whole PLANT with you to gamble for your own revenge? Even if you win the bet, the probability of success is very slim, have you thought about it?¡± 0 ¡°Of course we have to gamble! The Earth¡¯s population and resources are nearly endless, how to win without gambling? Only now, everyone does not have nuclear bombs. As long as we have the Neutron Jammer Cancellers, we have the only chance to win!¡± 0 ¡°Patrick, you¡¯ve gone crazy ¡­¡± Clyne looked to the other person present, ¡°Senator Aznable, are you going to go crazy along with this man ?¡± 0 ¡°Senator Zala, don¡¯t get so worked up yet, we still have an important issue to resolve.¡± Aznable gestured to Zala and watched as he slowly sat back down in his seat before speaking, ¡°Is there anything you want to explain about how the enemy knew Neutron Jammer Canceller existed, Speaker Clyne?¡± 0 ¡°What do you mean? I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t understand.¡± Clyne sensed some great conspiracy enveloping the chamber. 0 ¡°The enemy learned of the existence and whereabouts of the Neutron Jammer Canceller and the two MSs beforehand, and even managed to infiltrate the Eternal, and finally drove away one of the Gundams with ease, most likely because they knew the code beforehand. ¡± Aznable looked at Clyne playfully, ¡°Without someone in a high position providing information, they can¡¯t do this.¡± 0 ¡°Please watch your words!¡± Clyne sounded stern, ¡°Can I understand that you are suspecting the Speaker of the Supreme Council betraying the country?!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to deny it yet, it¡¯s not too late to see the evidence before you speak.¡± Aznable waved to Haman behind him and took a document and threw it in front of Clyne, ¡°The one above is the evidence that you traded Neutron Jammer Canceller with Dr. Lingus. Well, you traded PLANT¡¯s top secrets with others, what a good Speaker! Since you returned from the moon last year, there have been encrypted data packets sent from the Clyne residence, and finally sent to Earth after several transits. Is there anything you would like to explain?¡± 0 Clyne finally saw that this was a premeditated coup, and now he has no choice but to die, ¡°I don¡¯t deny the first thing. There was a deal with Dr. Lingus, but it was to strengthen the relationship with Anaheim. But the second thing is a complete slur.¡± 0 ¡°Your Excellency Clyne, we are all wise men, what is the point of playing such a trick?¡± Char got up and strode over to Clyne, his left hand on the back of Clyne¡¯s chair, ¡°Dr. Lingus asked for Amuro Ray from Brigadier Hymem, the head of the Federation¡¯s Intransigent Faction, so the two have a great relationship. And you¡¯ve hooked up with Dr. Lingus, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re relying on your daughter, right? The three of you have formed a tight-knit clique, selling PLANT secrets for profit, and the document in front of you is the proof!¡± Aznable said and slapped his right hand heavily on the document in front of Clyne. The story was so good, the evidence was so well prepared, the absurdity and anger made Clyne couldn¡¯t help but cursing, ¡°Char Aznable! You set me up!¡± ¡°Siegel, there have been rumors that in the One Year War, you get so many favorable treaties by selling out your homeland, and I would not have believed it.¡± Zala looked at Clyne with a sad look, ¡°We have been friends for many years, I never thought that you would be such a person. Have you forgotten what Deikun-sensei taught you back then?¡± Clyne looked at Zala¡¯s serious expression, he didn¡¯t get angry but laugh. The first-class script, first-class props, and first-class actors. How much they have done before today? ¡°Okay, you want me to die, I admit it.¡± Clyne looked at Aznable¡¯s clam face, ¡°But what¡¯s with that battle plan? Is it necessary to bury the entire PLANT with you? Do I deserve it?!¡± ¡°Sir Clyne, perhaps you don¡¯t notice it yourself, but you¡¯re actually rotten.¡± Aznable gently patted Clyne¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Not just you, but the leaders of the entire Earth Federation are corrupted. Don¡¯t you have any ideas every time you pass the fossil at the entrance of the conference hall? How many opportunities and challenges await us in the universe? In order to meet them, we must completely revolutionize away from the antiquated status quo. PLANT and the Earth must be broken and reborn by fire.¡± ¡°¡­ So it¡¯s you.¡± Clyne looked to Zala and let out a roar, ¡°Patrick, don¡¯t you get it? You¡¯ve been tricked by this man!¡± Aznable simply ignored Clyne¡¯s provocations. There was no point, Zala had become a slave of hatred five years ago, and he would be satisfied if only he could get his revenge. ¡°I wasted five years in the Convocation. Except for getting some achievements in New Type research, I did nothing and simply wasted my time. But fortunately, there is at least one gain, that is, I finally changed from an idealist to a down-to-earth idealist. There are so few things that reform can do, and the bigger the battleship, the harder it is to turn around. I hated the war, but I understood better that some things had to be completely shattered to start over.¡± Aznable clapped his hands twice as a pair of soldiers in ZAFT uniforms fishtailed in and raised their guns on Clyne and his entourage. ¡°Siegel, you are so wrong. The only thing that cannot be betrayed is the interests of the motherland, that is the bottom line of a politician.¡± Zala sighed, ¡°For the sake of our long acquaintance, at least I will let Lacus¨C¡° ¡°-Lacus must be killed.¡± Aznable¡¯s voice was unmistakably cold, ¡°Senator Zala, no, Speaker Zala, not to mention whether Lacus Clyne is involved in selling out the country or not, the political resources she holds alone will be a serious interference to your grand plan. Now is not the time to be merciful.¡± Zala gazed at Clyne, and finally nodded wordlessly at Aznable. ¡°And Dr. Lingus, he¡¯s the one who¡¯s really worrying about the universe, the one who really understands the direction of technology. Speaker Zala, we must hold him firmly in our own hands.¡± Char walked up to Zala and raised his hand, ¡°Please leave him to me, I had a pleasant conversation with Dr. Lingus and have full confidence in reaching an understanding with him.¡± ¡°Lingus is from Anaheim! He¡¯s Diana¡¯s man!¡± Clyne stood up, ignoring the guns pointing to his chest, ¡°Do you want to make enemies of the moon? Do you understand what you¡¯re doing or not?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you, Clyne the former Speaker, who doesn¡¯t understand.¡± Aznable laughed out disdainfully, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know the reason for it, the Moon is following a policy of absolute neutrality. Even if we have Dr. Lingus under house arrest, the Moon will only protest, apply pressure, and at most break off diplomatic relations, never declaring war on its own initiative. And after having Lingus, does Anaheim still matter? Is it even necessary to care about breaking off diplomatic relations?¡± Clyne looked at the laughing Aznable and the puppet-like Patrick, and didn¡¯t even have the strength to struggle. His daughter and Adrien are now on the Eternal, and the ship is full of these two people¡¯s people. Is this also planned? The man in front of me¡­ from when has he been preparing all this? Aznable is ruthless and he is not likely to survive. He wondered how much the emergency measures he made before the meeting will work, and now all he can do is pray. Only Lacus, only Lacus! He hopes she can live well. ¡­ ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Uraki looked at Ade worriedly. It had been almost a minute since he started staring at the sea after shouting something inexplicable just now. Is it true that he had some kind of bad reaction when descending, or should he go see a doctor? ¡°Uraki!¡± Ade suddenly turned around, looking grim. He came up to Uraki and whispered in a voice that only Uraki could hear, ¡°Now let¡¯s go back to the room with a natural expression and pack our bags as fast as we can, taking only the most important things with us. Then we enter the hangar as calmly as we can and take the opportunity to run away in the V2 Gundam.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Ade¡¯s expression and tone made Uraki feel the gravity of the situation, ¡°Is there some danger?¡± 0 ¡°Malice, omens, intuition, psychic senses, anyway, it¡¯s just my NT radar alarming like crazy.¡± Ade took Uraki by the arm and headed for the ship, ¡°There¡¯s no time to explain, get in!¡± CH 37 Chapter 37: Phantom ACE 0 Generally speaking, when NT encounters any kind of danger or senses any kind of character, the brain will have a tingle like an electric shock. The problem is that at the moment when Ade was dazed, there was like a psycho in his head ringing the doorbell like crazy, ¡°ding ding ding¡±. He was not in a daze, but was a little dizzy from all the ¡°ding ding ding¡± in his head ¨C how big a deal is this? 0 He and Uraki returned to their respective rooms with smiles on their faces and immediately began to pack their things. There wasn¡¯t much to take with him, just his phone, wallet, and laptop, and luckily for him, walking around with a laptop wasn¡¯t suspicious. Other things such as a change of clothes are not necessary. 0 He looked at the map on the electronic screen in the room, and now the Eternal is located in the northern part of the South Pacific. The Minovsky floating system is too power-hungry, based on V2¡¯s fully charged battery, the best destination is Orb Union, but in case something goes wrong, it is possible to deviate from the route to reach Indonesia. Now in mid-February, the temperature in some areas was less than ten degrees, and he had changed into warm clothes just to be on the safe side. 0 ¡°Doctor.¡± Uraki¡¯s voice came from the door, ¡°Miss Lacus is with me and says she has something for you.¡± 0 Ade put the notebook he had just picked up back on the table and opened the door with a new attitude as if nothing was wrong. Lacus quickly walked into the room with her head down, Uraki then followed in and closed the door. 0 ¡°Mr. Ade, I know you don¡¯t trust me, but we don¡¯t have much time, so please make sure you believe what I say next.¡± Lacus¡¯s face was sad and her speech was fast, very different from usual, ¡°Right now you and I are in great danger, ZAFT wants us. I want to make a deal with you, you take me to escape from the Eternal, and I will tell you the detailed information.¡± 0 Ade looked astonished. Could it be that something has changed on the PLANT side? But he could not listen to Lacus say a few words and take her with him, he needed more detailed information, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, Lacus, but you make me confused and I can not make a judgment.¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Ade, I don¡¯t know how much time we have left, but the ship will be full of enemies when the time comes. I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m afraid that after telling everything, you¡¯ll leave without me. You¡¯re my only hope.¡± Lacus looked at him with a pleading look, ¡°But I can guarantee that the information provided after escaping will be absolutely valuable.¡± 0 Ade quickly weighed in his mind, assuming Lacus was telling the truth. A ship full of enemies meant that the entire ZAFT, and even the entire PLANT would turn against him. The success rate of escaping with Lacus isn¡¯t high, but he really needs to know what is happening now, otherwise, he would be simply bumping around like a headless fly. 0 Another thing, in case they don¡¯t make it to Orb Union, there are still a bunch of small countries between them and Australia, and he has no idea about the political leanings of these countries. And Lacus, as the daughter of the Speaker, these things are obviously mandatory for her. 0 As for Lacus worrying about him leaving alone after knowing the information¡­ it¡¯s understandable. Such a statement rather makes her words much more credible. 0 So the conclusion is already obvious, ¡°I promise. Change into your most mobile clothes, do not wear this dress that you are wearing now. Bring the least amount of stuff and let¡¯s head to the hangar.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, thank you for your trust, Mr. Ade.¡± Lacus showed a complicated expression, bowed deeply, and turned to leave the room. 0 ¡°Doctor, you and Miss Lacus can go with V2. V2¡¯s boot code is ¡®carrot¡¯. By the way, take the gun with you.¡± Uraki unstrapped the pistol from his body and strapped it towards Ade, a tangled look flashed across his face, ¡°I, I¡¯ll stay and help you stall for time.¡± 0 ¡°What silly words are you saying? How could I leave you behind?¡± Ade was moved and amused, ¡°And stall for time? How do you stall for time? Beat Creuset or kick Athrun? Don¡¯t tease me, let¡¯s go together.¡± 0 ¡°But V2 can¡¯t squeeze in three people.¡± Uraki helped Ade tighten his gun belt, as if he had firmly believed in something, ¡°Doctor, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯m just a bodyguard, they won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± 0 ¡°Why are we all squeezing inside V2? Hijack a Zaku¢ó!¡± Ade looked at Uraki and patted his shoulder, ¡°The Zaku¢ós in the hangar are equipped with Minovsky floating system, you can just grab one of them. You know V2¡¯s communication band, so contact is not a problem. There won¡¯t be problems.¡± 0 Uraki pondered for a while and finally nodded hard, ¡°You¡¯re right, Doctor, I¡¯m more useful to follow along.¡± 0 Ade smiled gratefully and picked up his notebook and walked to the hangar. 0 The two came to the hangar, there were not many people inside, and Lacus had not yet arrived. Ade went to V2 and opened the cockpit, put the laptop in the space under the seat to secure it, started V2, and then watched Uraki sneak up to a Zaku to wait for the right time to act. Unfortunately, the hangar¡¯s hatch could not be opened so they had to break through it by force. 0 Just as Ade thought so, the hangar¡¯s hatch suddenly opened, the sea breeze poured in and blew his unbuttoned jacket snapping. 0 ¡°Ade-san, I¡¯m here.¡± He heard Lacus¡¯s voice. Turning around to look, the young girl¡¯s hair flying in the wind, ¡°I told the support staff that you are going to take me out for a ride and asked him to open the hangar hatch.¡± 0 He looked at Lacus speechlessly, and was not even in the mood to compliment her. The young girl in front of him wore a thin half-sleeve on the top and a short skirt that reached about her knees on the bottom. She was pressing her skirt with her hands to keep it from being blown up by the wind, and further down he could see that her legs were wrapped in white. 0 Missy, we are going to run for our lives! 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t bring any trousers with me this time, so this was the only option other than a dress.¡± Lacus apparently understood his expression and spoke out to explain, noticing again that his eyes fell on her own legs, ¡°This is according to what Ade-san said, keep warm in low temperatures.¡± 0 Well, she is already doing her personal best under the current objective conditions. Besides, it was normal for pretty girls to be like this, and he remembered that in C.C.¡¯s closet, there was also mostly skirts. 0 Ade sidled out of the way and gestured for her to enter the cockpit. Lacus brushed against him and got in, her long hair made his nose a little itchy. He watched as Lacus took up her position behind the seat and leaned down to¨C 0 ¡°Don¡¯t move, Adrien Lingus!¡± Athrun¡¯s voice came from below behind him, followed by a gunshot, a bullet hitting the side of the hatch, ¡°Turn around slowly and don¡¯t make any suspicious movements or the next shot will be a direct hit!¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Looks like that¡¯s as far as we¡¯re going to get, Ade-san.¡± Lacus resignedly relaxed her whole body with a heartbreakingly poignant smile, ¡°Thank you for your trust, it¡¯s been a pleasure knowing you, really.¡± 0 Ade looked at her smile. For some reason, he felt a little blockage in his heart. 0 ¡°Captain Creuset¡¯s orders are to capture you alive if possible, and to shoot immediately if there is any resistance. You are a respected scholar and I do not want to cause unnecessary casualties. Please turn around within five seconds or I cannot guarantee your life.¡± Athrun¡¯s shouting continued, ¡°The soldiers over there, go inform Captain Creuset! Also, have someone close the hangar¡¯s hatch.¡± 0 Ade sighed, gave Lacus a gesture and put his left hand in his pocket, and slowly turned around. Now, there are only a few people in the hangar, he used his eyes to indicate the still undetected Uraki to be ready. 0 ¡°What¡¯s in the left pocket? Take your left hand out of your pocket and don¡¯t make any irrational moves.¡± The Athrun below raised his gun at him, and the killing intent in his eyes was serious. At this distance, he had no doubt about Athrun¡¯s speed and accuracy, ¡°Slowly raise your hand to the place I can see it.¡± 0 ¡°Take it easy, in my pocket is my phone.¡± Ade pulls his left hand out and presses it stealthily on the phone a few times, then stretches it out as far as possible to show Athrun, ¡°Look, it¡¯s just a phone, don¡¯t shoot ¨C ah, the hand slipped.¡± 0 The phone detached from Ade¡¯s hand, and fell vertically under the effect of gravity, and emitted a blinding glare the moment it collided with the ground. In a flash, Athrun was blinded, and his ears heard a slight explosion. He reflexively lunged backward. 0 ¡°Hold on tight! I can¡¯t help it if you get a concussion!¡± 0 In Lacus¡¯ dismayed eyes, Ade flew into the cockpit to close the hatch. Under his operation, V2 Gundam leaped out of the hangar, and the Minovsky floating system and thrusters were opening at the same time, flying away at a high speed. Not long after, a Zaku followed V2¡¯s direction and also flew away. 0 ¡°Hey?¡± Lacus gripped the seat tightly, not yet understanding the situation, ¡°What just happened?¡± 0 ¡°The almighty Wonder Conch died a glorious death before it had a chance to power up.¡± Ade now had a headache. He does not remember any of the phone numbers saved in his phone. Fortunately, he recorded Anaheim¡¯s emergency help phone number in the notebook, ¡°Lacus, did you take your phone?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, but there¡¯s no signal on Earth, sorry.¡± Lacus pulled out her phone and waved it in front of Ade¡¯s eyes, ¡°Never thought about going down to Earth, so I didn¡¯t buy the Earth¡¯s mobile data traffic.¡± 0 ¡°Well, it¡¯s not your fault, no one thought of it.¡± Ade checked the radar and slowed slightly to let Uraki keep up, ¡°Now can you tell us what¡¯s going on?¡± 0 ¡°Things have gone a little differently than I had known.¡± Lacus¡¯s voice came from behind him, and he was so focused on the radar that he didn¡¯t have time to turn around, ¡°The message I received was to kill me at all costs and put you under house arrest. But by what Athrun just did, it seems you¡¯ve become killable as well.¡± 0 ¡°¡­It must be Creuset. He wants me dead.¡± Associated with the previous NT radar crazy alarm, Ade understands, ¡°His script is probably starting and irrelevant people like me need to be quickly cleaned up. According to his style, I must die and after killing me, he would report that I was killed by mistake because I resisted too strong.¡± 0 Luckily, Lacus did not tell him the truth beforehand, otherwise, he would probably have surrendered and waited for the moon government to save him, and that would really be the end. 0 ¡°Would Captain Creuset do such a thing? And what does the script mean?¡± 0 ¡°I will explain it to you later, after all, now we are considered in the same boat. So it seems that ZAFT could be going to war?¡± 0 ¡°How does Ade-san know that? It is indeed-¡° 0 ¡°Doctor, there are pursuers behind us!¡± Uraki¡¯s voice came out from V2¡¯s channel, ¡°I can identify friendly signals on my side, it¡¯s Freedom Gundam and a small group of Zakus.¡± 0 ¡°Freedom?¡± Ade smacked his lips in hatred, ¡°Creuset is really determined to have me die. I¡¯ll have to fight for my life this time. Lacus, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to take care of you for a while.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, if their goal is your life, give up on me. Zaku¡¯s speed will slow you down.¡± Uraki¡¯s voice was resolute, ¡°I can¡¯t stop Freedom Gundam, at least I can slow down that small group of Zakus. With only Freedom Gundam chasing behind, there¡¯s still hope for you to escape.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t say stupid things! There¡¯s definitely more than one squad of Zakus, and Creuset must be chasing after us himself. He won¡¯t show mercy here.¡± He knew Uraki was right, but there were some things that were emotionally unacceptable. What was the difference between him and Creuset if he let Uraki die for him?¡±I didn¡¯t recruit you to get you killed¨C¡° 0 ¡°-Listen to me!¡± Uraki interrupted him loudly, ¡°We¡¯re all doomed if we run together, that¡¯s my professional judgment as a bodyguard. Doctor, you are much smarter than me, you understand this.¡± 0 Uraki jerked to stop Zaku and began to turn around. V2 Gundam flew far in a flash. 0 Ade subconsciously tried to pull the lever, ¡°Uraki, you¨C¡° 0 ¡°Don¡¯t slow down!¡± Uraki¡¯s hoarse yell jarred Ade¡¯s movements, ¡°Doctor, I¡¯ve been down on my luck ever since I joined the Federation. Betrayal, jail time, living a life that¡¯s no fun at all, but the happiest I¡¯ve ever been was this time as a bodyguard. V2 is a great Gundam and I love it! I, Kou Uraki, am not a great person, but I know how to return the favor!¡± 0 Ade gripped the joystick helplessly, a power beyond words making him immobile. 0 ¡°Creuset? He is just a mere white uniform ZAFT solider. Don¡¯t underestimate me, Doctor!¡± Nearly out of communication distance, his last voice came over the channel, ¡°I¡¯m the Phantom ACE!¡± CH 38 Chapter 38: I Have no Regret in My Life 0 V2 had gotten out of communication distance, the enemy had not yet reached within sight, and Uraki was both glad and relieved at his decision. 0 He was glad that he had followed Doctor out, otherwise, the doctor would have no chance to escape with Freedom and so many Zaku¢ós chasing behind. He was relieved that even if he eliminated all the enemies, the remaining power is unlikely to support him to fly to the closest coast, so he doesn¡¯t need to worry about his life: he is doomed anyway. 0 Uraki recalled all the battles he had fought since he joined the army. Starting with the GP02 being taken by force, he was always forced to fight in obedience to orders. Only this moment, for the first time in his life, he fought on his own will, and for the first time felt that he could really do something with his power. 0 ¡°Now I¡¯m a man of conviction, right? The next time Shinn asks me this question, I can answer him like this.¡± 0 He quickly checked the available armaments of ZakuIII. Except for the beam rifle in his hand, there were only the beam cannon, beam saber plus three grenades. But it doesn¡¯t matter. The enemy is also equipped with the same weapons, the time has come to show the technology gap. 0 He had never driven a Zaku¢ó before, but so what? He had never driven a GP03 before either. It was just a Zaku, could it compete with Doctor¡¯s Dendrobium? 0 He looked at the radar. Five small dots of light rapidly approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye. Freedom Gundam clearly had a longer range than he did, so he has to at least drag the fight into within his visual range. 0 ¡°If the doctor took Miss Lacus back, how to explain to Miss C.C.? It must be interesting to watch Doctor¡¯s expression at that time.¡± Uraki suddenly thought of that and couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. 0 That made it seem less tense. 0 He inwardly estimated the distance between the two sides, brainstorming the enemy¡¯s position on the radar. It was about time, and the first appeared in his view was ¨C 0 ¡°Freedom Gundam ¡­¡± Uraki fired while evading the shots from the opposite side, ¡°It¡¯s really stressful to fight with Doctor¡¯s masterpiece in a Zaku. ¡° 0 The only good thing is that everyone is now inside the atmosphere, the opponent¡¯s D.R.A.G.O.N. system can not be used here, otherwise, it is completely impossible to fight. Gravity and air resistance give a sticky feeling to all operations, but it¡¯s the same for the other side. No, this feeling should only be an advantage for me after years of service on Earth. 0 Uraki relied on his years of experience to tangle with Freedom Gundam for a short time before four Zakus came into view. Sudden snipings from multiple angles forced him to roll in the lateral high-speed movement as a way to avoid beam rifle fire. 0 ¡°This kind of movement ¡­!¡± Athrun watched Zaku¡¯s incredible movement with his mouth wide open. He is not able to lock on or predict the trajectory of that Zaku at all, and none of his shots hit the Zaku, ¡°Is this the G-force that humans can withstand?! Even we Coordinators can not do it!¡± 0 ¡°Athrun, what are you waiting for?¡± The voice of Creuset on the friend channel interrupted Athrun¡¯s shock, ¡°Leave him alone, leave this Zaku to me! Go after that Gundam immediately and destroy it straight away! That¡¯s an order!¡± 0 ¡°Yes sir!¡± Athrun immediately understood the captain¡¯s meaning, only his Freedom Gundam was nuclear powered. 0 Uraki watched reluctantly as Freedom Gundam got rid of him and flew away in the dust. There was no way to stop it, but at least, I won¡¯t let go of these Zaku¢ós, even at the cost of my life! 0 The four Zaku¢ós in view were all equipped with beam rifles, just like his one. However, one of them was clearly painted differently from the other three, which should be Creuset¡¯s. It is said that he is the same as Kira Yamato of Orb Union, an all-around ACE. Well, we¡¯ll see how much strength he has today if he¡¯s an ACE. 0 Uraki switched the power supply of the beam rifle from the built-in battery to the fuselage power supply, and launched continuous fire suppression regardless of the cost, which is his biggest advantage nowadays. The Minovsky floating system consumes a lot of energy, and if the opponent still wants to continue the pursuit mission, they must pay attention to the use of energy weapons like beam rifles and beam cannons. 0 And remaining power is meaningless to him. He doesn¡¯t need to pay attention to it. 0 Under Creuset¡¯s command, each of the four MSs spread out and attacked him from four different angles. Uraki continued to evade by relying on his superior physical strength, and the Zaku¢ó was worthy of being ZAFT¡¯s latest MS, its excellent performance responded well to his maneuvers. 0 Even just by stalling like this, Uraki has already accomplished his first strategic goal. 0 After a while, the four Zaku¢ós started to shoot while closing in on Uraki. Good, the opponent¡¯s rifle batteries were running out, so they didn¡¯t want to use up their energy, so the second strategic goal was achieved. 0 Creuset¡¯s shots were accurate, putting a lot of pressure on him. He was not sure of destroying three Zakus while dodging Creuset¡¯s attacks, much less taking out Creuset against three Zakus¡¯ support shots. If there is no chance, I¡¯ll have to create my own chance. 0 Uraki fired back in the dodging gap, pressing his opponent¡¯s vertical position toward the sea and dropping down himself. He silently calculated their respective positions and threw two grenades forward at a perfect point in time. The grenades exploded when they entered the water, splashing a huge wave, and the views of Creuset and the nearest MS should be blocked for at least five seconds, which was enough time. 0 The Zaku¢ó dodged the attacks of the remaining two Zakus with ease. One of the enemy Zaku took two shots in the cockpit and exploded in place. Uraki threw another grenade not far from his feet and continued shooting at the other Zaku. It was risky to play the same trick twice, and Creuset and his wingmen weren¡¯t going to stand still for another five seconds, but Uraki had no other choice. 0 The moment the second Zaku was detonated, the third Zaku burst through the water curtain and appeared behind Uraki, the beam cannon on its head quickly catching its target and ready to fire. Uraki opened the side and front posture vents to the maximum and rolled behind the Zaku in the nick of time, and the powerful twisting force of the momentary change from static to dynamic made him want to vomit. 0 But then, he exposed himself completely to Creuset¡¯s gun. Having no choice, he used his last instinct to fine-tune the position of his Zaku¢ó, and his head and right arm were destroyed at the same time, but he also took this moment to hit the Zaku in front of him directly with his beam cannon. 0 ¡°Third strategic objective achieved.¡± Uraki with a smile on his face panted heavily, the long continuous high-intensity maneuver was too much even for him, and his every internal organ seemed to be out of its original position, ¡°Only you left, Creuset, let me see how strong you are.¡± 0 The only remaining armaments on his Zaku¢ó were the beam cannon and beam saber on the skirt armor, the beam rifle was destroyed along with the right arm, while Creuset¡¯s Zaku was intact. Uraki¡¯s Zaku¢ó¡¯s armor wasn¡¯t thick enough and it didn¡¯t have a shield, otherwise, he could have cleared out the three Zakus first, instead of fighting as badly as he did now. 0 But it doesn¡¯t matter. He just needs to consume the power of Creuset¡¯s MS before he gets crashed, and the energy-starved Creuset will be forced to return. In his mind, the doctor is a symbol of omnipotence, and he must have a way to get rid of Freedom Gundam. 0 He never wanted to destroy the opposite side with one against four. Creuset is not a rookie, from the beginning he knew it was impossible to defeat Creuset. All he had to do was keep the important people alive, that¡¯s all. 0 ¡°Nice power.¡± Creuset didn¡¯t feel sad at all for the death of three of his men, instead, he spoke in the public channel, ¡°But with such MS, what else can you do?¡± 0 Uraki didn¡¯t even have the strength to retort, and just used his left arm to hold the beam saber, trying to advance towards Creuset while evading Creuset¡¯s fire. The explosion of the MS¡¯s right arm also damaged part of the posture control nozzles, and many maneuvers could not be performed. 0 To Creuset¡¯s eyes, the tattered Zaku¢ó twisted its body in the air with various comical movements like a drunken man who had had too much to drink. He looked at his remaining energy and tsked irritably, ¡°Let¡¯s end this farce.¡± 0 Creuset switched the power of his rifle, which had run out of batteries, to the fuselage power supply and started firing continuously. The crippled Zaku on the other side held on for a while, but soon, Uraki lose the MS¡¯s left arm and legs in the hail of bullets. It might be luck, but the bullets didn¡¯t hit the cockpit and power furnace. 0 The one-sided abuse didn¡¯t last long, and finally, Uraki¡¯s Zaku¡¯s Minovsky floating system was damaged and the Zaku sank into the water with a huge splash in the blink of an eye. 0 Creuset looked at the place where Zaku sank and lost interest in hunting Uraki down. This man is insignificant and can not affect the script, there is no need to waste time. Creuset smoothly threw three grenades down and began to return to the ship in the sound of the explosion, ¡°Athrun, do not let me down.¡± 0 At this moment, the Uraki who sank into the water just opened the cockpit before he could get out, the sudden explosion behind him made him choke violently with blood. Fortunately, the seawater effectively inhibited the fragmentation of the grenades, otherwise, he would have been killed now. 0 Uraki turned on the physical ejection switch that worked even without power and followed the seat as it plunged into the water. Then he opened the automatic inflatable airbag under the seat, and his body began to rise slowly under the effect of buoyancy. Coming to the surface, he breathed heavily for oxygen, and there was no longer Creuset in his field of vision. 0 ¡°The strategic objectives were all achieved.¡± He sat on the chair, rising and falling along with the rhythm of the waves, looking at the endless Pacific Ocean and thinking happily, ¡°The rest is up to the doctor himself. You must be okay!¡± 0 But where will he drift to? He regretted that he didn¡¯t learn geography properly back then. Which direction are the currents in the Pacific Ocean? Ah, yes, will there be sharks? Being eaten by sharks or dying of thirst, which is worse? 0 Thinking so, Uraki suddenly felt a little fear, but only a little, nothing to regret. This was the first and perhaps the last time in his life that he had done something important with his own will and strength, and he felt immensely satisfied. CH 39 Chapter 39: Love that Can Be Conveyed 0 V2 flew at high speed against the sea, and the airflow brought up by its movement cut a shallow wound on the Atlantic Ocean. Now it was a headwind, the MS adjusted its posture to minimize the intercept area, the only time like this would Ade envy Zeta Gundam which could turn into a plane. 0 No one spoke in the cockpit. Ade felt ill in his heart, and Lacus also seems distracted. But now there was no time to sort out his mood. He knew that with Uraki¡¯s Zaku¢ó, it was impossible to stop Freedom Gundam in any case. Creuset would have sent the nuclear-powered Freedom to continue the pursuit. And since Freedom Gundam¡¯s maximum speed is a little faster than his own, it¡¯s only a matter of time before he was caught up. 0 Analyzing rationally, there are two options now. One is to assume that Uraki has failed, and there are Freedom plus a number of Zakus chasing after them. In this case, he could only continue to run and pray that they can fly to Australia before they are caught up. The second is to believe that Uraki can intercept the Zakus. In this case, he can turn around and try to solve Freedom, or continue to run. 0 He didn¡¯t know the distance between Freedom and himself, and now that the sun was almost down, it would be very bad for him if he happened to be caught up at night ¨C he had no experience in night fighting at all. Besides, the later the battle starts, the less energy V2 would have left, so it was better to take the initiative in his own hands than to sit back and wait for death. 0 The most important reason is, he wants to believe Uraki. He¡¯s the legendary Phantom ACE! How could he let himself down? 0 He has now seen multiple ACEs and has a clearer idea of his position. His own fighting level was miserable and below average, while his shooting level was excellent, a little higher than any other ACE he had seen. Moreover, V2 has very good compatibility with him. 0 He doesn¡¯t know if Athrun has obtained the S.E.E.D (Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-factor). If he hasn¡¯t, there¡¯s nothing to worry about except the energy disadvantage. But he now does not know what exactly the S.E.E.D is. Shinn has not learned it and there is no other reference. 0 ¡°Lacus, now we will turn back to stop the enemy. If the enemy is more than just Freedom, we¡¯re screwed. If the enemy is only Freedom, take care of yourself and be careful not to get a concussion.¡± Then he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, ¡°The enemy¡¯s pilot is Athrun, can you try ¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ thanks. I understand what you mean.¡± Lacus¡¯s voice sounded a little lonely, and Ade didn¡¯t dare to look at her, ¡°Thank you for trusting my abilities so much, I¡¯ll try my best.¡± 0 An eerie silence fell over the cockpit. He was just full of Uraki in his mind, and subconsciously said the plan he felt was the most feasible, only to realize after he said it that such a statement might be a bit hurtful. 0 He stole a glance at the young girl beside him, the single figure looked fragile and lonely, making him feel guilty. But now he must use all that can be used. He consoled himself with this. 0 It didn¡¯t take long for Freedom to appear in the field of vision. His decision was correct. Freedom fired a few random shots, V2 dodged the shots, and Lacus struggled to keep her balance in the shaking. 0 ¡°Is the pilot in Freedom Gundam Athrun?¡± Her voice appeared on the public channel. 0 ¡°Lacus! You¡¯re really in there!¡± Athrun magically stopped moving as expected and hovered silently in mid-air. This at least indicated that there were no other pursuers, ¡°Why would you do such a thing? Why would you betray PLANT?¡± 0 ¡°Do you really believe I would betray PLANT, Athrun?¡± The young girl¡¯s voice was confused with a hint of trembling, bringing out the feelings of being hurt by the suspicion of her best friend, ¡°I thought you were the only one who believed in me.¡± 0 ¡°I wanted to believe you, too! But Captain Creuset said the evidence was clear, and even Uncle Clyne didn¡¯t deny it.¡± Athrun sounded distressed, ¡°How do you expect me to believe you now that you¡¯re running away with this man?¡± 0 ¡°Can¡¯t you see that?¡± Ade didn¡¯t bother to look, and just by listening to the voice, he brainstormed a crying figure, ¡°I was framed, and so was my father. We¡¯ve known each other for so many years, don¡¯t you know exactly what kind of father and daughter we are?¡± 0 ¡°Then go back and say it clearly! I will help you, and I will convince my father to help you. Uncle Clyne was shot down because he resisted, why don¡¯t you understand! ¡° 0 ¡°¡­ What? You said my father was shot down by ¡­?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, he was shot on the spot for trying to escape during the escort! Don¡¯t make the same mistake, why don¡¯t you come back with me? I will protect you!¡± 0 What, Clyne is dead? 0 Ade couldn¡¯t help but look at Lacus with worry. The young girl¡¯s eyes widened and her chest rose and fell violently until she noticed his gaze. She made an ¡°I¡¯m fine¡± gesture, closed her eyes, and took a few deep breaths, and when she opened her eyes, she turned into a pitiful look again. 0 ¡°You don¡¯t know yet, do you? The order for me is shoot-to-kill, there is no chance to explain. It was Char Aznable who gave the order, and there was nothing Uncle Zala could do about it.¡± The tone was so heartbreaking, ¡°Instead of going back to be humiliated, it would be better to die here. Athrun, if you want to shoot, go ahead, I won¡¯t resist.¡± 0 ¡°How can I want to shoot! But¡­ I can¡¯t help it!¡± Athrun¡¯s anxiousness literally came from the other end of the channel, ¡°I¡¯m a ZAFT soldier, it¡¯s an order from the army! It¡¯s all I can do!¡± 0 ¡°Athrun, I never thought you were just an ordinary ZAFT soldier.¡± The sorrowful voice took on a hint of determination again, expressing trust in the other party, ¡°Do you remember what we said by Junius 7? Why exactly did you become a pilot of Freedom Gundam? What the hell are you going to do with this great power of yours? What kind of person would Aunt Zala want you to be if she were still around?¡± 0 ¡°But ¡­ but ¡­!¡± Athrun seemed to have completely forgotten about Ade¡¯s existence and was engrossed in the conversation with Lacus, ¡°What should I do?¡± 0 ¡°The so-called freedom is the act of making a choice by one¡¯s own will without being forced by others. Athrun, you are too gentle.¡± Lacus said in the same gentle tone, ¡°Uncle Zala must have wanted you to grow up one day to be a person who has the courage to make the right decision, a person who has his own strong will like him, so he let you become Freedom¡¯s pilot.¡± 0 There is no logic in Lacus¡¯ words in Ade¡¯s eyes, and she herself must have been unaware of it, but she knew better that these illogical words were useful. 0 ¡°I¡­¡± Does it really work? 0 ¡°Use your own will to decide it.¡± Lacus sounded like she was smiling gently, ¡°If your will is to shoot me, I¡¯ll take it with a smile.¡± 0 ¡°I ¡­ damn it!¡± Freedom Gundam began to turn around at Ade¡¯s shocked look, ¡°I¡¯ll report that I lost you. Lacus, please don¡¯t make me regret it.¡± 0 The result was too shocking. Even as the person who came up with the idea, Ade never thought it would go as well as this. He originally only intended to lend Lacus to weaken the opposite side¡¯s fighting spirit and improve the win rate, but now he was directly dissuaded? 0 What he understood was probably Athrun¡¯s weak character, lack of initiative, contempt for troop discipline, suspected affection for Lacus, and perhaps some other factors he didn¡¯t see. But Lacus perfectly acted with her voice alone, making the most of these factors and finally achieving a miraculous effect. 0 ¡°¡­ That¡¯s enough, right?¡± 0 Listening to Lacus¡¯s sullen voice, Ade remembered that she had just learned of her father¡¯s death. What should I say to comfort her at a time like this? Thank you? That¡¯s stupid. He clumsily didn¡¯t know how to organize his words, and could only drive V2 towards his target in silence. 0 He remembered again that Athrun had come alone, which meant that Uraki had really succeeded. Thinking about Uraki, he soon had no more energy to think about Lacus. 0 After flying for some time, the sun finally disappeared completely at the end of the sea level, and the distant topography could no longer be seen. There is no artificial light above the vast sea, only the sky is full of stars. 0 There was not much power left, and it would be suicide to rush blindly in the dark without seeing his destination. He estimated in his heart, he should have reached not far north of Papua New Guinea by now, and should be able to find the nearest land when the sun comes out. 0 V2 gradually slowed down. The South Pacific is full of small islands with tall trees. He searched for a while, chose an island to start descending. V2 circled around the island. Not to mention the beasts, he didn¡¯t even see any larger animals. He finally lowered V2 to land under the tall trees in the center of the island, which was densely vegetated and would have been a good cover. 0 Ade skillfully fumbled around in the cockpit, quickly finding compressed cookies, drinking water, a torch, and insect repellent. it was common knowledge that the MS pilot always carried a wilderness survival kit, and he stuffed even more in Hyzenthlays, which Alice complained about many times. 0 Lacus has been silent since Athrun left. Even when he landed, she didn¡¯t ask what he was doing, until then she suddenly spoke, ¡°I want to go down for a walk.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Ok.¡± He also needed to tidy up his mood. 0 He manipulated V2 to sort out a clearing on the ground, then pulled a trench along the clearing with his beam saber, put Lacus into the circle, followed it down himself, and finally sprinkled a circle of insect repellent around the trench. After doing all this, Ade turned around and saw Lacus with her side to himself, looking up at the sky. Starlight spilling through the trees on her face, reflecting a despondent look. 0 ¡°It¡¯s time for me to tell you the information I have, so that our deal is over.¡± She didn¡¯t look this way, as if she was talking to herself, ¡°I won¡¯t bother Ade-san with what happens after that, I¡¯ll solve everything with my almighty acting skills.¡± 0 Is that the real her in front of me? Or is she gaining my sympathy? 0 ¡°Ade-san really knows me well enough to come up with such a good solution in such a critical situation.¡± She slightly inclined her head to look at him and gave a soft laugh, ¡°I am also satisfied with my performance today, ah, probably the pinnacle of my acting life, right? Mr. Ade also got to know me better through today¡¯s thing, right?¡± 0 ¡°No ¡­¡± he was just worrying about Uraki and said something without thinking too much. 0 ¡°There¡¯s no need to explain, I understand it all. I should have understood it long ago, isn¡¯t it natural that this would happen?¡± She turned around despondently and looked to the sky, ¡°It¡¯s just ¡­ just that I lost my father today and want to cry sadly, can you not look at me for a moment? If you can¡¯t do that, then please turn around, at least don¡¯t let me see, can you?¡± 0 Which is crueler, turning around or not turning around at such a time? He didn¡¯t know how to choose, and could only stand blankly in place. 0 The young girl stood quietly with her back to him for a moment, and when she turned around, two tear tracks were already on her face. 0 ¡°Why?¡± She asked softly, taking a step in front of Ade, ¡°At least it¡¯s not too much to pretend to say ¡®I believe you¡¯ at a time like this, right?¡± 0 I really can¡¯t tell the difference. 0 ¡°If you¡¯re too bad to act, then turn around, please don¡¯t look at me with that kind of eyes!¡± 0 But I¡¯m sad too. 0 ¡°If you want to be sad, go over there and cry. I have the right to be sad too!¡± 0 Teardrops kept pouring out from the young girl¡¯s eyes like a broken thread, dripping on the ground. 0 ¡°Or what? Am I acting now too? Yes, my father died, it¡¯s a good time to use his death to gain your sympathy, and by crying a little bit, a pure-hearted man like Ade-san will be moved at once, right?¡± Lacus somewhat hysterically covered her chest, ¡°All acting, all using, all fake, I am this kind of woman, are you satisfied?!¡± 0 He turned his face sideways. 0 ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Look at me! Or do you like to see this?¡± The young girl put her left hand on his chest and made a sultry sound, ¡°Ade-san, you¡¯re all I have left! Please, please don¡¯t abandon me, I¡¯ll do anything for you~¡± 0 What have I done? ¡­ 0 ¡°I can act this too! Isn¡¯t that enough? There is something cheaper to see.¡± She reached out her hand¨C 0 ¡°- Enough!¡± He grabbed her hand hard as the young girl stared stubbornly at him, tears still desperately pouring out of her eyes. He looked straight into her reddened eyes, ¡°¡­ I believe you.¡± 0 Lacus struggled, was not able to pull his hand out. Finally, she seemed to have lost all her strength, helplessly flung herself on Ade¡¯s chest and let out a cry. 0 ¡°Dad, he, he ¡­¡± the young girl sobbed, ¡°he is¡­ dead¡­ ah ¡­¡± 0 The young girl is not tall, and her face is just to his chest. He felt the warmth on his chest, overwhelmed with hesitation for a moment, and finally reached out and gently patted the young girl¡¯s back, trying to make her feel better. By comforting others, it seemed to make him feel a little better himself. 0 He doesn¡¯t know how long it took, but the girl¡¯s cry gradually turned into sobs, and gradually became too soft to be heard. 0 ¡°Ade-san,¡± the girl took a deep breath and finally lifted her head up, ¡°I¡¯m sorry about Uraki-san.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, the responsibility is mine.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ That sentence just now, can you say it again?¡± 0 It was dark all around, and he couldn¡¯t distinguish the young girl¡¯s expression even by the starlight, but that didn¡¯t matter. 0 ¡°I believe you.¡± CH 40 Chapter 40: Clumsy 0 V2¡¯s cockpit was not big and not very flat, and it was barely possible to stand a person in it, but it was never very comfortable. Lacus had replenished some water after crying and was resting in the driver¡¯s seat, Ade leaning back in the chair next to her, listening to her quietly. 0 ¡°¡­ That¡¯s all I know. After that, the communication device was found over there.¡± Lacus bowed her head, her voice still a bit subdued. 0 Ade sorted out the information in his mind based on the information provided by Lacus. 0 This time, it was completely because he misjudged the political situation of PLANT, causing himself and the people around him to be in danger. Originally, he thought that he had signed up for a tour of a developed country, but it turned out to be a free trip to Syria. According to his original expectation, PLANT could at least maintain the tripod for a long time. Who said that the triangle is the strongest shape? 0 Zala wanted to go on a revenge spree, which he expected, but Char¡¯s move was a big surprise to him. He did not believe that with Char¡¯s intelligence, he would believe that PLANT could win, and what good would it do to himself? Just to unify the Supreme Council? 0 Lacus gave him a clean account of PLANT without reservation, even including the amount of nuclear fuel. He also asked about the existence of Genesis, and Lacus said that she didn¡¯t know about it. Even if it was so highly classified that Lacus didn¡¯t know about it, or had only just been set up, there wasn¡¯t enough to make the Genesis he remembered based on the PLANT nuclear fuel reserves. 0 ¡°Char Aznable is a very capable person.¡± Lacus seemed to be thinking exactly the same thing, ¡°Shortly after the One Year War, the forces of the Zabi faction were taken together by him. My father had some influence in the army, Aznable also nibbled them all step by step .¡± 0 The absence of the Clyne faction on the Eternal was solved, and it was Char again. 0 ¡°He now controlled Uncle Zala with some unknown means. Even if ZAFT is defeated, it has no effect on Aznable. Although my father left me some personal political power, now I am just a wanted traitor.¡± Lacus sighed quietly, ¡°I don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to turn the tables anymore.¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t say anything, just quietly looked out at the starry sky. 0 ¡°I¡¯ve ¡­ I have become useless. I still know some PLANT secrets, but the value of being Clyne¡¯s daughter is gone.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice was a little tired, ¡°If you can, can you not turn me over to the Federation? It¡¯s worse than death to become a plaything on the bed of the big shots, but I don¡¯t know if I have the courage to die.¡± 0 Isn¡¯t there a third option besides the Federation and PLANT? Is she trying to hint at him to protect her? Doesn¡¯t a smart girl like her know that this kind of inflection is more likely to make people feel uncomfortable? 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I unconsciously used that sly statement again, it sounds like trying to gain sympathy by that, doesn¡¯t it?¡± She didn¡¯t expect a response from him, as if she was talking to herself, ¡°Now that I think about it. When Ade-san said that you believed me just now, I snickered like a winner for a long time. When I cried in Ade-san¡¯s arms, I also expected in my heart that Ade-san would be moved by this and would say that he would protect me.¡± 0 She was not wrong, she did impulsively, but why must she explain it out like this? 0 ¡°In fact, I have told the truth myself. I am such a woman. Even the hysteria itself, even the explanation now are for reaching the result I want, and in the end, it really is reached. When you hear me say this, you will only think that Lacus is a girl who is complicated inside but also has her pity, and in this way, you will definitely stand up to protect me when the Federation wants to take me away.¡± 0 She was right again. But there¡¯s no need to say it. You can just silently hold it in your heart. 0 ¡°After that, I will probably let you sleep me at a suitable time, no, for Ade-san, it should me sleep you. That would be easier. Right, by the way, I would call you Ade directly after that, and then I would say something like you do not have to be responsible for me, it is okay if you like someone else, so to make you feel guilty. In this way, it¡¯s only a matter of time before you really begin to like me, right?¡± 0 What good would it really do to her? Why is she tearing her thoughts apart and showing all of them to me¡­ 0 ¡°In this way, even on the moon, I can have my own place to stay and someone who likes me to protect me. This is really not too difficult for me to do, and Ade-san, even after listening to me so much, you have not become disgusted with me, right?¡± Lacus whispered inexplicably, ¡°Thank you for being willing to believe me, really, thank you. But I¡¯m such a nasty woman, it¡¯s probably already instinctive ¡­¡± 0 The young woman did not make another sound. The air was quiet again, and the sound of waves lapping at the shore could only be heard faintly in the distance. 0 ¡°¡­ I believe you, believe every word you just said.¡± Ade looked out at the sky without turning to look at her, ¡°Believe your fear of life and death, believe your plan to conquer my heart, believe that¡¯s what you are, believe that you truly thank me.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°So I can¡¯t just foolishly wait for you to do that. So, let¡¯s make another deal.¡± He felt the young girl¡¯s eyes, ¡°When the war is over, I¡¯ll find a way to send you back to PLANT ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Is that your choice? I¡¯ll ¡­ take it with a smile.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Then find a way to get Char out of power and realize your ideal of a politician. In exchange, I want all of PLANT¡¯s technology, access to research on the alien fossil, and your help, help me go to Jupiter.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but twist his head to look. The young girl¡¯s head was buried very low, and it was impossible to see her expression, ¡°Please listen to me finish my words before you say your heart thinking out, okay? It¡¯s hard for me when you keep saying such melodramatic lines.¡± 0 Lacus was silent for a moment, and did not ask him where he got the enchanted confidence, but asked in a low voice, ¡°But¡­ Ade-san, how to guarantee that a repeat offender like me will keep my promise after I get on stage?¡± 0 ¡°We¡¯ll figure it out later. I just have to trust you for now.¡± 0 ¡°Please, you must think of a way.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, ¡°Even I do not believe in myself¡­¡± 0 Neither of them spoke again, and after a while when Ade looked at her again, the young girl had fallen asleep. He took off his own jacket and draped it over Lacus and silently left the cockpit and came to the ground. 0 He himself certainly did not mean to sleep. He was going to wait until the sun came out, and as soon as his vision was restored, he would leave and head towards Australia. He walked on the ground to organize his mood, and then leaned on V2¡¯s feet to rest and think about what he was going to face. 0 Australia, which he was about to deal with, was one of the major member countries of the Earth Federation, and the most important military base in Australia was the Torrington Base where Uraki had stayed. It was also an important nuclear reserve base for the Federation, but Neutron Jammer has made it less important than it once was. 0 In order to avoid repeating Britannia¡¯s oops back then, Ade seriously studied modern history and registered an account on Anaheim¡¯s forum to test his learning by sparring with people in the history section. 0 The map of this world was roughly the same as in his previous life, except that America was replaced by Britannia. After the countries began space exploration, the Earth Federation was established, led by several major countries such as Britannia, China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and Australia. Although nominally a federation, it was not a unified regime, more like a huge political community born to divide space resources. 0 Militarily, the countries have united to form the Earth Federation army, but individual countries such as Britannia still maintain a sizeable standing army. Politically, each of the major member states still maintains a fairly high degree of administrative autonomy. 0 For small countries, the Earth Federation is not necessarily a benefit. Once they join, first of all, military and administrative power is completely deprived to the Federation, and because of their own weakness, they were rewarded very few in the distribution of benefits. 0 In general, it perfectly demonstrates the cruel laws of this world. Small countries have few human rights, and large countries still have privileges, basically, it¡¯s a story of the world¡¯s vested interests united to divide the earth. When Ade looked at this history, he just felt that these big shots were too ugly to divide the benefits. 0 Some unwilling small countries can of course choose not to join, but don¡¯t blame the federation government for targeting you. For some reason, Japan refused to join the Earth Federation back then, and the result is that under conspiracy and pressure from all sides, Japan¡¯s land was dismembered. Some people stayed in the Shikoku of Japan to continue to be bullied by the Federation, another part of the people left and gradually evolved into the current Orb Union. 0 About the history of Britannia, there are two things Ade found strange. One is that many years ago, Britannia suddenly announced the right to exploit the Antarctic, prohibiting any country or power to intervene. Another is that in recent years, Britannia suddenly held military exercises in the vicinity of Japan, and then under the pretext that there is an MS pilot missing, forced to enter the Japanese territory to search, and then occupied the whole territory of Japan. 0 Connected ¡°Antarctic¡± and ¡°Japan¡± together, he suddenly had a very bad feeling. Fortunately, he did not find a place called TOKYO-3. 0 He did not know why Britannia has such a big grudge against Antarctica and Japan, but his first reaction is that it must have something to do with Code and Geass. The fact that C.C. ran to Japan also indirectly proved that he was right, and he has prepared to ask her directly later on. 0 It is worth mentioning that in this world, the Blue Cosmos is a rather mysterious organization. He can not find out who the leader is and where the source of funding for the organization is from. In the beginning, it was just a small-scale terrorist organization, unknowingly became pretty larger. There are many guesses about the identity of its leader on the Internet, but Ade found none of the guesses looked reliable. 0 Time passed quickly in his thoughts, and when the first rays of sunlight crossed the horizon, Ade stood up and stretched. 0 When he returned to the cockpit, Lacus was still in a light sleep. The young girl smiled in the dream, so he did not immediately wake her up. When he finally made up his mind to wake up the girl, Lacus suddenly opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the figure in front of her. 0 After a silent stare, the young girl¡¯s pupils finally regained their sparkle. 0 ¡°Good morning, Ade-san.¡± Lacus noticed the clothes on her body and showed the same smile as usual, ¡°Thank you, I slept well last night, and I¡¯m pumped up today.¡± 0 Everything that happened yesterday was like a dream, and the young girl in front of him seemed to change back to the familiar appearance he remembered. 0 A few hours later, before V2 had reached Australian airspace, a Federation MS appeared in front of him. 0 ¡°Is that Dr. Adrien Lingus in the Gundam with no identification signal?¡± A voice he never expected came out from the public channel, ¡°This is Captain Graham Aker, belonging to the Federation¡¯s Australian Military Region¡¯s Turlington Base, who is on a search and rescue mission.¡± 0 Graham Ake CH 41 PS: All ¡°Roland¡± in previous chapters have been corrected to ¡°Loran¡±. Loran Cehack (¥í¥é¥ó?¥»¥¢¥Ã¥¯, Roran Seakku), the main protagonist of ? Gundam. This novel refers to dozens of animes and I have only watched about half of them, so sometimes I make mistakes in term translations. Chapter 41: The Angry Shinn C.C. was so distracted these days, exuding an air of unhappiness, that even Mayu didn¡¯t dare to talk to her. Since a few days ago, Ade didn¡¯t answer her call and email. She knew that Ade had the habit of browsing Anaheim¡¯s forum every day, and would also deal with emails by the way. In his words, ¡°I will feel uncomfortable if I stop studying every day¡±. There could only be two explanations for this anomaly: 1, he has been fooling around with some woman and forgot everything else; 2, something has happened to him. She wasn¡¯t able to contact Uraki either, so this undoubtedly means the latter. The night she lost his contact, she directly reported ¡°Dr. Lingus is missing¡± to Anaheim. By common sense, Roland or Diana should personally deal with it. But the moon government did not give her any feedback, she can only wait for the news irritably every day. The last time Ade¡¯s name appeared in the media was on the 14th for the Bloody Valentine¡¯s commemoration, but nothing news could be traced after that. ¡°Miss C.C., big news, big news!¡± Mayu suddenly shouted excitedly, ¡°Hurry up and read the headline! It¡¯s about Mr. Ade!¡± C.C. hurriedly took out her phone and opened the news, on the front page was a big Roland¡¯s avatar, she clicked in and at the top was a short video. She took a deep breath and pressed the play button. ¡°I, Loran Cehack, am issuing an ultimatum to the Earth Federation on behalf of the Lunar Government.¡± Loran¡¯s face in the video was full of fury, ¡°Please keep your sanity, hand over Dr. Adrien Lingus to us safely as soon as possible, and do not continue to test our patience, or we will not be able to guarantee that we will not act aggressively.¡± The video was short, over in less than half a minute, but it was so informative that it filled C.C.¡¯s head with questions. What¡¯s all this with? Why did Ade suddenly go from being in PLANT to being held by the Federation? How many days has this been going on that Loran himself is now threatening the Federation? And where did the Earth Federation get the nerve to detain Ade? But fortunately, one thing was certain: Ade is still safe. C.C. didn¡¯t believe the Earth Federation would really dare to go against Loran. She searched for relevant information again, all unreliable speculation, no useful intelligence. ¡°Shinn Asuka requesting return.¡± It was Asuka after his daily patrols, but today the voice was extra serious, ¡°Miss C.C, please have the infirmary staff prepare, I picked up Uraki-san at sea. He¡¯s very dehydrated.¡± An hour later, the group left the infirmary. Although Uraki was not in a life-threatening condition, he was still in a coma. Long-term exposure to the sun and insufficient hydration had caused skin burns and severe dehydration, and he might not have been so lucky if he had been found by Shinn two days later. ¡°The ¡­ two were attacked, Uraki was crashed and Ade was picked up and held by the Federation, which should probably be the case. As for who was the attacker, we will have to wait for Uraki to regain consciousness before asking him.¡± C.C said to Shinn her own speculation, ¡°You do not have to worry too much. The Earth Federation doesn¡¯t dare to let him die.¡± ¡°Die? Die?¡± The young girl who was following Shinn suddenly opened her eyes wide and revealed a frightened look, ¡°Don¡¯t ¡­ I don¡¯t want to die ¡­!¡± Shinn tenderly embraced the young girl, reaching out to gently stroke her head, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, it¡¯s okay. Stella will not die. I will protect you, so don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°Shinn ¡­ protects ¡­¡± Stella visibly relaxed and hugged Asuka back clingingly, ¡°Shinn! ¡° ¡°Miss C.C., you did that on purpose, right?¡± Asuka looked at C.C with dissatisfaction, ¡°Stop stimulating her, Stella is pathetic.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t I helping you?¡± C.C turned away expressionlessly, leaving only her voice and back, ¡°Better demonstrate it to Ade as well after he is back, so he can realize the difference between different people.¡± ¡°Mayu, what¡¯s wrong with Miss C.C.?¡± Shinn uncertainly looked C.C.¡¯s direction, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t she be happy to know Ade-san is safe now?¡± ¡°Brother ¡­ why are you so skilled?!¡± Then Mayu also pushed the wheelchair away. Shinn looked bewildered for a moment, then took Stella¡¯s hand and walked outside, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go out and play.¡± Today, the ship needs to replenish some resources, so it stops in the Orb Union port. Shinn took Stella to the pier for a walk. Of course, Shinn also asked C.C. why we have a dedicated dock, why our ship can stop everywhere offshore, why our freighter is carrying a Gundam and can still come and leave at free¡­ the answer he got was heartbreaking, ¡°Because we have money.¡± This dock is contracted by them, so there are no idle people around. Stella is happy to bounce on the shore, and Shinn stood not far away and watched her with a smile. The young girl in front of him can¡¯t remember anything but her name. When she was just picked up, Miss C.C. kept her in isolation for two days for observation, during which time she was cared for by Shinn. Perhaps because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Shinn, she was particularly close to him. Stella was usually very good and not very talkative, and was very quiet during her imprisonment. Now even after regaining a certain degree of freedom, when Shinn is not around, she will be alone to dwell or sing, and when Shinn is around, she will cling to Shinn. As long as people don¡¯t intentionally say the keywords like ¡°die¡±, she is completely harmless. So in Shinn¡¯s repeated assurance, C.C. allowed Stella to move freely with him watching. And he has had a guess about Stella¡¯s identity. He had read the young girl¡¯s medical report, there was a large amount of hormone-based drug residue in her body, and the memory loss was most likely the aftermath of some kind of dangerous drug overuse. Comparing it with the situation in front of him, Stella¡¯s identity was almost certain. But since he had promised to protect Stella, he had to do it. As long as he takes her back to the moon, the all-powerful First General Hospital of the Moon will have a solution. C.C. said that people shouldn¡¯t pick up a wild cat and raise it at random, because it will be painful when you have to abandon it. But Shinn knows he wouldn¡¯t throw Stella away. So it doesn¡¯t matter. ¡°Shinn! Shinn!¡± Stella smiled and waved at him, and Shinn waved back at her. Stella had a very poor vocabulary, supposedly not having had the opportunity to get a good education, and the way to express her emotions was to call his name. Whenever Shinn thinks of this, he feels heartbroken. Before he did the daily patrols today, he went to Orb Union to buy some storybooks, intending to read them to Stella later. It was something he had done to Mayu before and was familiar with. Just when he was distracted, not far away suddenly came a loud explosion-like sound, and the earth beneath his feet shaking slightly. He snapped awake and reflexively looked at Stella as the young girl lost her balance and fell into the water right in front of his eyes. ¡°Stella!¡± Shinn ran to the shore. The young girl could not swim, and struggled badly in the water. Although this was deep water, fortunately, it was right next to the dock, and Shinn grabbed Stella¡¯s hand and pulled her out of the water. The stunned Stella flung herself into his arms, shivering wetly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll protect you.¡± He gently patted Stella¡¯s back to calm her down. Then when he looked up in the direction of the explosion, and the dense MSs in the sky shook him, ¡°¡­ you must be kidding me.¡± No time to think blindly, he picked up Stella and ran towards the ship. After putting Stella back in her room, he came to the bridge again as fast as he could, ¡°Miss C.C., the sky outside is full of Zakus!¡± ¡°I saw it, so that it makes sense.¡± C.C. looked at him seriously, ¡°This place will fall into a battlefield at any moment, and we must leave immediately. Asuka, please.¡± ¡°Of course! I came along because I was worried about this situation! Mayu, Stella, Miss C.C., and everyone on board, I will protect you!¡± Fortunately, F91 had just changed the battery and Shinn piloted the Gundam quickly to the outside of the ship. He let F91 stand on the ship to save the power consumed by the Minovsky floating system. He was the only fighting force here, he doesn¡¯t know how long it needs to last, and he may not have time to go back to change the battery. Zakus came down from the sky like rain down, is this a ZAFT¡¯s full army attack? Why do you want to fight Orb Union again? Facing such an undeclared war, Orb Union was totally unprepared. Until now, they haven¡¯t made a decent resistance. It is really conceivable that many military installations of Orb Union must have been blown up before they could function. The Blue-eyes White Dragon underfoot finally started to slowly accelerate, but at this time, some ZAFT MSs started to enter the dock area as well. A part of the Zaku¢òs started to indiscriminately bombard the warehouses on the dock, and a Zaku¢ó started to approach this way. ¡°This is a civilian vessel, no intention to engage in your war, please do not fire!¡± Shin shouted to the gradually approaching Zaku through the public channel, ¡°I repeat, this is a civilian vessel, please do not fire!¡± No one responded. Shinn doesn¡¯t know if they turned off the public channel or deliberately didn¡¯t answer, but this Zaku¢ó had raised its beam rifle and aimed this way. Wait, the target is not himself? Shinn flew to the firing line with full thrusters and opened his beam shield in the nick of time to block the shot fired at the hull. ¡°Why are you shooting? I told you it¡¯s a civilian vessel!¡± Shinn roared at the public channel, ¡°Just go to attack Orb Union! We just want to leave!¡± ¡°Kid, do you think I¡¯m blind?¡± the ZakuIII¡¯s pilot finally spoke up, ¡°That ship is obviously a converted battleship, right? That¡¯s what a war is. If you want to blame, just blame on your own bad luck.¡± Again, again! Bad luck, that¡¯s all! Mom and dad died because of bad luck, Mayu lost her legs because of bad luck, Stella experienced this tragic life because of bad luck, Ade-san is in danger because of bad luck, Uraki-san is unconscious because of bad luck. All because of our own bad luck! ¡°Uncle, are you blind?¡± Shinn said in an icy voice he had never heard before, ¡°My MS is obviously a Gundam, right? That¡¯s what a war is. If you want to blame, blame it on your own bad luck.¡± CH 42 Chapter 42: The Unattainable Love0 0 In Shinn¡¯s eyes, the Zaku¢ó slowly adjusted its posture, slowly retargeted, and finally slowly fired. Shinn directly turned off the energy-intensive beam shield. It was impossible for him to be hit by this waste.0 When the particle beam hit the previous location of F91, Shinn had already manipulated the MS to move to the shore. In one fluid motion, he turned off the floating system, turned on the thrusters, took out the beam saber, and sprinted next to the Zaku¢ó in just two changes of direction. He followed the principle that Mr. Adrien had said countless times in his memory, and stabbed the beam saber in the cockpit. The high-energy particle beam easily penetrated the Zaku¡¯s armor and stabbed in .0 This was Shinn¡¯s first time killing someone, but his heart didn¡¯t feel anything .0 Several nearby Zaku¢òs noticed the situation over here and started to attack F91. There were not many tall buildings near the dock, and there was nothing to find as a cover. Shinn calmly opened his beam shield and swept towards the nearest Zakus.0 Due to the overwhelming difference in MS performance and pilot quality, the mass-produced MSs on the dock were steadily reaped at a blistering speed. Shinn expressionlessly drew his saber from one cockpit and stabbed it into the next. Blame it on your bad luck.0 Turn on the beam shield when needed, turn it off when not, stab all those Zakus on shore with the beam saber, and shoot any of them who wants to go after the ship with the beam rifle. Efficiency is the only thing he cares about.0 But it seems someone sent out a request for reinforcements, and new Zakus kept appearing in the dock area. Shinn, who had planned to retreat after clearing this area, had to continue his harvest of mass-produced Zakus. And ZAFT after sacrificing many of their MSs one after another, the danger assessment of the dock was continuously raised, and finally, Freedom Gundam received dispatch orders to this battlefield.0 ¡°Just leave this place to me, you guys go reinforce the other areas.¡± Athrun arrived at the dock and quickly gave orders to the nearby troops. He didn¡¯t feel he was being arrogant at all, and a proper understanding of his own strength was a quality that an ACE should have.0 Zakus began to withdraw from this area one by one, and Shinn had no intention of pursuing them. The message Athrun received was that there was a camouflaged battleship trying to escape, and another Gundam was protecting the battleship, presumably with some important person on board, but the Gundam had the entire dock blocked off, and Zakus could not break through it.0 The Gundam in front of Athrun was an MS he had never seen before, and was equipped with a beam shield, a technology that ZAFT did not even have heard of. Was it a new MS secretly developed by the Morgenroete Incorporated of Orb Union?0 Shinn looked at the red MS that joined the battlefield and immediately recognized it as the Freedom Gundam that he had seen in the news before, the latest result of ZAFT¡¯s own development. However, he felt that the F91 made by Adrien-san would definitely be stronger than ZAFT¡¯s.0 ¡°Brother!¡± Mayu sent communication from the ship, ¡°Miss C.C. said that red MS is a nuclear-powered Gundam made by Ade-san, you must be careful.¡±0 ¡°Hey?¡± What¡¯s going on, isn¡¯t it self-developed by ZAFT?0 But now there is no time to think about this, the other side has already initiated the attack. Freedom Gundam relies on its own nuclear power, shamelessly flying around in the sky, and its beam rifle keeps shooting continuously. Shinn was so overwhelmed on the ground that he was forced to turn on his floating system and come to the sky to tangle with the red Freedom Gundam.0 Freedom Gundam and he fought for a while, and began to try to break through Shinn to fly to the ship. Several stray bullets flew in the direction of the ship and exploded in the nearby sea, and Shinn struggled to drag Freedom on the dock.0 With the floating system and beam shield energy opening at the same time, the energy consumption is too much. Shinn gradually feel a burst of anxiety. No, I can¡¯t go on like this, F91¡¯s battery won¡¯t hold up long. Mayu, Stella, Miss C.C., Uraki-san, everyone is on board, I must protect them, I need more power!0 It was as if something exploded in his mind, the flow of time around him seemed to slow down, he could see every detail in his vision clearly, and his body would respond faithfully.0 He suddenly remembered that Mr. Adrien once told him, F91 has a function that should never be turned on unless under special circumstances. It was definitely referring to this situation.0 On F91¡¯s head, its mask opened to the sides, three small wing-like heat sinks protruded from each of the left and right shoulders, the beam shield was turned off, and the VSBR, which had never been used before, was transferred from the back to the front of the fuselage. As if completely unafraid of being hit, F91 quickly burst towards Freedom Gundam, yet all of the opponent¡¯s shots were incredibly missed.0 ¡°Why? I have locked on him, why can¡¯t I hit it?!¡±0 Athrun futilely switched weapons. Beam rifle, particle cannon, magnetic rail gun, all locked on that Gundam, but all missed as if the lock was on something else at all.0 ¡°¡­ residual image? No kidding, how could this unscientific stuff be true!¡±0 F91 was doing multiple high-speed vector changes in mid-air, constantly shortening the distance between him and Freedom Gundam, and various cannonballs and particle beams brushed against him with no danger.0 ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. Only in this state, I can harness this speed of F91.¡± Shin said to himself cheerfully, ¡°Freedom Gundam ¡­ will be defeated by me! Today! At this place!¡±0 The VSBR has no independent battery and uses the core power of the MS directly. The super high energy consumption and super slow firing speed make it hard for him to have a second shot, therefore, he needs a right distance and a right angle, like ¡­0 ¡°Now!¡±0 As Shinn pulled the trigger, a highly concentrated stream of high-speed particles whistled toward Freedom Gundam. Athrun tried to change the MS¡¯s stance and raise its shield to defend in the nick of time, but the shield that was supposed to block the beam was easily torn apart like paper, and the entire left arm, along with the small half of fuselage, disappeared.0 Freedom¡¯s floating system was damaged, and in the efforts of the only remaining thrusters, it finally fell to the ground. The cockpit does not seem to be completely destroyed, so Shinn raised the beam rifle to the cockpit and gave it a shot. Suddenly, a golden Gundam rushed between him and Freedom, the particle beam hit the golden MS and was ¡­ surprisingly bounced off?0 ¡°The other side has lost the ability to resist, why do you continue to shoot!¡±0 It should be the pilot of that golden Gundam shouting in the public channel, but Shinn simply does not bother to pay attention to him, answering such questions is simply an insult to his intelligence.0 ¡°This voice ¡­Kira?¡±0 Wait, Kira Yamato of Orb Union? You¡¯re crazy. Running to save ZAFT¡¯s ACE, is that an act of treason?0 ¡°Athrun? It¡¯s you! Why is PLANT doing this again?¡±0 So the two people know each other, and they are talking? I don¡¯t care, I¡¯m going to say goodbye. Shinn left the two who had somehow started chatting on the public channel over there and flew at full speed in the direction of Blue-eyes White Dragon.0 A few hours later, the news of the fall of Orb Union shocked the entire Earth. At this moment, in a mansion in Europe, there were two men sitting in a luxuriously decorated room who could influence the direction of the war.0 ¡°Hymem, not rushing back to save Orb Union?¡± Guin Sard Rhineford sat gracefully on the leather handmade couch and smiled at the older man in front of him, ¡°Now that Amuro Ray has been released, I thought I¡¯d be able to watch another replay of the defense of Orb Union.¡±0 ¡°That¡¯s enough of this good thing. Since they refuse to join the Federation, let them die.¡± Jamitov Hymem sneered, ¡°It¡¯s better to give Orb Union to ZAFT, let all those mutants in the sky come down, so we can clean them up at once.¡±0 ¡°Does it matter if the Morgenroete Incorporated falls into their hands? When the time comes, it¡¯s your people who will die.¡±0 ¡°Soldiers are born for wars. Rhineford, are you asking knowingly?¡± Hymem put on a straight face, ¡°By the way, the additional sponsorship that was agreed upon before ¡­¡±0 ¡°Wow, the treasury secretary is really worried about the Federation¡¯s finances. Admirable.¡± Rhineford gave a dangerous smile, ¡°Adrien Lingus. You know what I mean.¡±0 ¡°I don¡¯t understand, it won¡¯t do you any good.¡± Hymem frowned, ¡°And Loran Cehack has already issued a statement. This is too risky for us. I¡¯ve never seen the moon take such a serious stance. No, not with this Lingus.¡±0 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you understand or not.¡± Rhineford showed a complex expression that Hymem couldn¡¯t read, ¡°What matters is that it wasn¡¯t the Federation that wanted Lingus, so it¡¯s not the fault of the Federation. And you get the chance to draw down all the mutants from the sky and clean them up at once. As you said earlier, the bigger the war, the better for TITANS, right?¡±0 ¡°But the Federation will sacrifice a lot ¡­¡±0 ¡°So will a lot more military spending, and a lot more additional sponsorship. As I said, money is not an issue,¡± Rhineford touched his short moustache, ¡°It is not easy for TITANS to maintain financial independence, and dedicated community members like me understand perfectly and are willing to help the Federation army.¡±0 Hymem narrowed his eyes in silence for a long time, and finally made up his mind, ¡°So be it, then it¡¯s a deal. I¡¯ll go back first to prepare for it.¡±0 ¡°I wish us a good cooperation again.¡± Rhineford raised his glass to Hymem, ¡°Goodbye.¡±0 It wasn¡¯t until Hymem had completely left the room that Rhineford turned the terminal on his desk, and what appeared on the screen was the video of the ultimatum Loran had delivered to the Federation earlier. He flicked on the video and Loran¡¯s voice rang through the room. The video was set to play on a loop, having been played an unknown number of times before.0 ¡°¡®We will not be able to guarantee that we will not act aggressively¡¯ ¡­ How many years has it been since the last time you said that?¡± Rhineford reached out and tenderly rubbed the cheek of the Loran on the screen with his fingertips, ¡°Is this man that important to you, Lola?¡± CH 43 Chapter 43: What? Orb Union Is Conquered Again? 0 It had been almost a week since Ade and Lacus had been under house arrest at the Torrington base. Although they are not prisoned, they are deprived of all means of communication, and they are accompanied by two soldiers whenever they leave their rooms. So in comparison, Ade prefers to be alone in his room every day ¨C sometimes two. 0 According to Aker, the moon somehow received the news first after he was lost and notified the Earth Federation to assist in the rescue. After capturing images of the Eternal via spy satellites, the Earth Federation deduced the landing site and ordered the Torrington base to send a rescue force, and Aker was the first to find Ade in the search and rescue mission. 0 Because of his identity as the father of Gundam, Aker has had very high goodwill before meeting him. 0 Ade still vividly remembers Aker¡¯s line at the beginning, ¡°As one of the two people I respect most, it is fate that you and I should meet like this in the vast Pacific Ocean!¡± And Lacus¡¯s slightly subtle expression after hearing this line. 0 By the way, the other person that Aker respects is Amuro Ray. 0 In Ade¡¯s opinion, Aker is quite cute, saying whatever comes to mind, dealing with him very easily, and occasionally uttering some pleasant lines. 0 And he is currently Ade¡¯s main source of information. For example, The moon government was very upset that the Federation was not willing to hand him over directly, and he showed Ade the video that Loran had released publicly. This is the first time Ade saw Loran so angry. A little warm in the heart? Indeed, but absolutely not in the gay means. After all, Loran is also male. 0 For example, he told Ade that Orb Union was conquered again. Huh, why say ¡°again¡±? 0 But Aker is again a very principled person, strictly adhered to the discipline, and did not help Ade contact the outside world. 0 At the moment Ade is knocking on the laptop something only he can read, calculating the possibility of humans defeat ELS. Of course, the laptop¡¯s network card was removed. Lacus was sitting next to him, and although she couldn¡¯t understand what he was doing, she watched him silently. 0 The moment he saw Aker, he remembered who the father of the Coordinator was, and then he started to worry about ELS. As for expecting Setsuna to understand each other with ELS¡­ first of all, does Setsuna really exist in this world? Secondly, who can make Gundam 00 in this world? Finally, what if ELS does not want to understand each other with human beings? Instead of counting on these completely nebulous things, you should count on yourself. 0 But the result of the deduction is not good. With the existing technology, it is almost impossible to defeat the ELS he remembered. Even Moonlight Butterfly is not 100% safe. He does not know whether the nanites of Moonlight Butterfly can disintegrate ELS first, or ELS can erode the nanites first. 0 On the contrary, Ade is no longer astonished by the appearance of ELS. Whether there are one or two aliens, makes little difference. And he had probably figure out the structure of this world. 0 ¡°Lacus, suppose there¡¯s a story like this.¡± He closed his notebook and looked at the young girl beside him, ¡°Every once in a while, a new and stronger enemy will pop up around the main character, and these enemies all have different background settings. What do you think of this story?¡± 0 ¡°Hmm?¡± Lacus didn¡¯t understand the analogy and stretched out her fingers on her cheeks and tilted her head cutely, ¡°Badly made-up story, right? Just simply to keep the plot going indefinitely. In the main character¡¯s opinion, this world should be discontinuous.¡± 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s add another setting, whenever a new enemy appears, the main character can always find proofs, indicating that the enemies were always there, and are not made up. What do you think in this case?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ the author¡¯s malice, right?¡± Lacus thought for a while to give an answer, ¡°It¡¯s like the author is saying to the protagonist: it¡¯s not my pot, it¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t find it yourself.¡± 0 Sure enough, Lacus also thought so. Ade nodded approvingly. According to this line of reasoning, there must be something else that will pop up after ELS. 0 At this point, there was a knock on the door, and after Ade gave permission, Aker walked in. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, you are indeed in the room. Your daughter is also in excellent condition today!¡± Then he looked surprised as if he had just noticed Lacus beside Ade, ¡°Miss Clyne is also with the Doctor today? I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Adrien¡¯s presence has taken up all my sight, I can¡¯t believe I didn¡¯t notice you.¡± 0 ¡°Captain Aker, please don¡¯t mind.¡± Lacus gave a polite smile, ¡°It¡¯s also fun to watch Ade-san and yours interact.¡± 0 The ¡°your daughter¡± that Aker refers to here is V2, from another line after their meeting, ¡°Is this the daughter of Dr. Adrien? What a beauty, I really want to have a kiss!¡± If other people hear this kind of word, they may have called the police. 0 After Ade was ¡°protected¡± by the Federation, V2 was ¡°taken care of¡± by the Federation army, but Aker promised him, ¡°As a soldier, I can¡¯t judge what the Federation army does, but I will protect you and your daughter. This is my promise as a man!¡± These words were somehow particularly reassuring from Aker¡¯s mouth. 0 ¡°Doctor, the Orb Union government-in-exile will be arriving at the base soon, want to come with me?¡± Aker extended an invitation to him at this point, ¡°Of course, Miss Clyne can also come along.¡± 0 Aker occasionally came to invite Ade to go out together, and the soldiers who were responsible for watching Ade would not follow at such times. 0 ¡°That¡¯s great, let¡¯s leave immediately.¡± Ade readily agreed, ¡°I remember you saying only one ship ran out from Orb Union, and the administration building was destroyed by missiles, and Prime Minister Athha died on the spot?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s right, the head of the government-in-exile is his daughter, Cagalli Yula Athha, who supposedly escaped at the time because she was in a private meeting with Commodore Kira Yamato. Also because of this, Commodore Yamato failed to organize an effective counterattack in the first place.¡± 0 Ade can only let out a sigh, ¡°It is always the destiny of every ACE to be involved in emotional entanglements ¡­¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s too profound.¡± Aker gave a thumbs up, ¡°As a Virgo, I empathize.¡± 0 After a while, the three arrived at the port, where a battleship finished docking just a short while ago. There is a row of officers on the shore, no wonder Captain Aker has time to accompany himself to hang out. 0 The gangway was lowered, and the ones walking in the front were indeed Cagalli and Kira. Cagalli actually has a good face, wearing a long dress with a sad look. Kira held her hand and also walked down the gangway to the Federation officers and started talking. 0 Looking at such Cagalli, Ade suddenly thought Lacus is actually in a similar situation, right? The loss of father, the loss of country, will she be touched by the scene? He worriedly looked at the young girl beside him, the girl noticed his line of sight, seemed to understand his meaning, sideways face to give him a sweet smile. 0 After watching for a while, everyone felt bored, because they can¡¯t hear anything at this distance. Graham sent Ade and Lacus back to their rooms and then left. 0 ¡°What about the daughter of a politician ¡­¡± Lacus looked thoughtful, ¡°Ade-san, what do you think Miss Athha will do?¡± 0 ¡°I guess she still wants to restore her country, but what can she do with only one ship?¡± He looked at Lacus and thought that she had really associated it with herself after all, ¡°Do you think she has hope?¡± 0 ¡°Hardly.¡± Lacus shook her head and smiled as if she were laughing to herself, ¡°Right now, the core of the government in exile is only two people: Miss Athha and Commodore Yamato, and the Federation will definitely do whatever to recruit Commodore Yamato and divide the people on that ship. I¡¯m afraid that not everyone on the ship wants to restore the country. She may be able to sell herself to the Federation and form a puppet government, after all, there are still a lot of senior officials in the Federation like ¡®princess¡¯.¡± 0 ¡°What would you do if you were Cagalli?¡± Ade was quite curious about this. 0 ¡°Cagalli?¡± Lacus gave Ade a surprised look, ¡°Does Ade-san like her type? But Miss Athha does look pretty good.¡± 0 ¡°¡­Sorry, I should say Miss Athha, not Cagalli.¡± Women are so sensitive to name-calling, he vaguely remembered having a similar conversation with C.C., ¡°She¡¯s not my type.¡± 0 Lacus looked at him for a moment with a smile and returned to the original topic, ¡°I would settle for marriage with Commodore Yamato as soon as possible if I were her, at least I have to settle down and have a backbone within the government in exile first.¡± 0 But they are brother and sister, they can¡¯t be together¡­ wait, the old Athha died directly this time, I wonder if he had told Cagalli the truth beforehand? If he hadn¡¯t, that would be interesting. 0 ¡°But it would be inevitable to sign an insulted treaty with the Federation afterward. And if she doesn¡¯t want to see something happens, she can only pray that no one in the Federation is interested in her body.¡± Lacus looked at Ade with a hand on her cheek and a smile on her face, ¡°Instead of that, it would be better to sell her body to the moon. What do you say, Mr. Ade?¡± 0 After that day, Lacus became what she is now. What happened on the island was a little embarrassing, and at the time Lacus seemed a little out of control, and everyone was sensible enough not to mention it again. After that, Lacus continues to play cute, but also never cares to show her politician character, and occasionally will deliberately say something like this, which made him not know how to answer. 0 In general, it¡¯s like what she said before, she has become more ¡°aggressive¡±. For example, should he answer this question or not? 0 ¡°Orb Union made their own death, they have to fend for themselves.¡± The correct answer is to change the subject, ¡°Let¡¯s think about our own affairs, His Highness Loran has said that, it is estimated that in a few days the Federation will hand over me to the moon.¡± 0 After all, the moon government has Moonlight Butterfly. 0 He remembered again the news that Aker told him before he left. Tomorrow, the Federation army headquarters will send someone to the Torrington base to discuss with the Orb Union remnants. The so-called remnants actually mainly refer to Kira himself. In any case, the Federation wants to recruit such a strong combat force. 0 ¡°Ade-san, the man who will come here tomorrow is Paptimus Scirocco, do you know him?¡± Lacus looked worried, ¡°He¡¯s just a major, but in charge of such an important matter. He must be a very important person.¡± 0 ¡°I know him. He is Hymem¡¯s beloved, a ruthlessly ambitious, an ACE, a scientific researcher, and a New Type. In short, he is difficult to deal with. He is also the one who took Justice Gundam away.¡± 0 Ade could not explain how he knew Scirocco was involved in the forcible seizure mission of Justice, but Lacus never asked him about the source and credibility of his information, and would not even examine him with a playful expression like C.C., but would only make analysis directly on the information given. 0 ¡°After such an important mission failed, he can still perform this mission, he should be trusted by Brigadier Hymem.¡± Lacus looked straight into Ade¡¯s eyes, and her pupils flowing with a moving gaze of pity, ¡°He is probably here not only to take charge of Orb Union¡¯s disposal, but also mine. This should be a good opportunity to dispose of me.¡± 0 ¡°Lacus ¡­¡± 0 ¡°We¡¯re not related, after all, and the Federation might want to take me away in a very tough manner.¡± Lacus gently took his hand, a soft touch came from his palm, ¡°Mr. Ade will protect me, right?¡± 0 This look and this action are not unnecessary, because he had promised her long ago, and she would have known Ade¡¯s answer. She was deliberately done to him, deliberately to make him say it himself. 0 ¡°¡­ I will protect you.¡± 0 Cagalli Yula Athha CH 44 Chapter 44: The Sword of the Heavens 0 In terms of conclusion, the Federation and the Orb Union government in exile didn¡¯t come to an agreement. It can be easily seen from Scirocco¡¯s annoyed face. 0 Ade guessed, Kira has Cagalli, and Cagalli has a strong nature and cannot accept the terms offered by the Federation. As for what conditions caused the conversation to fall apart so quickly, it might be the puppet government Lacus had speculated about earlier. Then he told Lacus about his conclusion. 0 ¡°You¡¯re an NT?!¡± Lacus was shocked. It was very rare for this expression to appear on her face, but that wasn¡¯t the point now, right? 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that?¡± 0 ¡°What was I doing before ¡­¡± Lacus held her forehead with her hand and let out a long sigh, deliberately talking to herself in a voice that Ade could hear, ¡°Fortunately, the current course is the right one. ¡° 0 I must not say anything at this time, or I will fall into her trap. 0 ¡°Major Scirocco didn¡¯t get consensus with both Commodore Yamato and Miss Athha.¡± Lacus blinked at Ade, ¡°So his only hope is me?¡± 0 As if to validate her words, Aker knocked on the door with a twisted look, ¡°Dr. Adrien, as much as I hate to say it, Major Scirocco would like to talk to you and Miss Clyne.¡± 0 The three arrived at the conference room, and Scirocco was already waiting inside. He must have just found out that the NT in the base was Adrien Lingus himself, and gave Ade an undisguised look of ¡°so it¡¯s you!¡±. Behind him stood several officers, one of them looked particularly conspicuous. Judging from his shoulder patch, he should be a captain ¡­ could he be Yazan Gable? 0 Scirocco apparently had no intention of explaining, but simply watched Ade and Lacus sat down opposite him. Graham was in no position to engage in such a conversation, so he saluted Scirocco and went out. 0 Scirocco¡¯s consciousness was dank, cold, and inexplicably oily to Ade¡¯s perception, so uncomfortable that he wanted to hit his face immediately. Amuro also said he did not like Scirocco, now Ade understands what he means. But this guy is said to be good with women? Ade thought it incomprehensible. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Scirocco greeted with a leathery smile, ¡°In fact, this matter has little to do with you, but, out of courtesy, the military department still asked me to let you know that we will take Miss Clyne away.¡± 0 There was not much problem with his statement. Lacus was now without human rights as a defector from a warring enemy country. Because of her status and beauty, she was instead more of a sought-after good, and Scirocco was now fighting Ade for the right to own this good. In this case, Lacus barely even has the right to speak, and she understands that. The end result depends on how tough each of the Federation and Ade is. Ade is a Lunar person and doesn¡¯t need to care about the Federation¡¯s reaction, which is why Lacus is counting on Ade to bail her out. 0 Scirocco represents the entire Federation top brass, and that¡¯s where his confidence is from. Ade¡¯s own identity has a little role here, but don¡¯t forget that he has a strong homeland behind him. 0 ¡°Major Scirocco, right? I¡¯m just a researcher, I don¡¯t know politics. This woman, who I brought out of ZAFT at the risk of my life, is a trophy of mine. If the Federation wants to take her away, they are taking my thing from me, and you know the consequences.¡± Ade grabbed Lacus¡¯s hand and put it on the table, ¡°I¡¯m done talking, who¡¯s for it and who¡¯s against it?¡± 0 Scirocco froze for a moment, suddenly showing a fascinated smile, and applauded, ¡°Good, good. It seems that our army¡¯s intelligence work still has some problems, the staff¡¯s even told me that Dr. Lingus is a very good talking weak man, what a great fallacy. But, since you are rescued by us, it¡¯s not good to let me leave with empty hands, right? Or doctor, are you looking down on me?¡± 0 ¡°We can settle this account when we return to Anaheim, and I will not forget to return the favor of the Federation. But I¡¯ll take Lacus with me, and no one can keep her. I promise.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, I certainly respect you, but I¡¯m afraid your trophy is not of much value to the Queen and her husband, right?¡± Scirocco shrugged, ¡°Dr. Lingus, you¡¯re putting me in a difficult position.¡± 0 Ade sighed. Lacus identity was too sensitive, and in the end, he could only solve it in this way, ¡°Difficult? Then I think you¡¯d better given up. She is my woman, with my identity, do you still want to take my woman away from me?¡± 0 Scirocco looked at Ade with a gloomy look. Of course, he could not shout ¡°I am an NT, I know you are lying!¡±, the key here is only in Ade¡¯s statement, whether it is true or false is not important. 0 Scirocco sneered, got up, and left. After a day of bumping into the wall, he didn¡¯t even have the heart to pretend to be polite. 0 After that, Ade returned to the room with Aker leading the way, and Lacus naturally followed in. 0 ¡°So you knew it would end up like this, right?¡± Ade looked at her with a complicated expression, ¡°Is this pretty much the same as the script you prepared?¡± 0 ¡°In my script, that last line would be said by myself, and I was very surprised by Ade-san¡¯s performance in front of me.¡± Lacus laughed very happily, ¡°I can¡¯t imagine Ade-san has such a side. It was really a surprise today.¡± 0 ¡°That is acting¡­ I just don¡¯t like Scirocco.¡± 0 ¡°But I¡¯m satisfied.¡± Lacus¡¯s smile became a little despondent, ¡°according to the agreement, I will eventually return to PLANT, and Ade-san is so important to the moon, so you can¡¯t leave with me. So even if the Federation publicized today¡¯s conversation, Ade-san, you can just say that you¡¯re tired of me at that time.¡± 0 Looking at him as if he wanted to say something, Lacus put up her index finger and pressed it to his lips. 0 ¡°I¡¯m serious. I¡¯m not a woman who waits for a pie to fall from the sky. Since Ade-san has given me the opportunity to return to politics, I will give my all for this opportunity. This is my biggest dream and there is no way I will give up.¡± The young girl withdrew her fingers with a firm look, ¡°There is something I want to fight for with all my might. I have always come this way and will always stick to it. So much for the status of a singer, so much for the dream of a politician, so much for everything else.¡± 0 She is talking about the dream of being a politician, right? 0 ¡°By the way, can you¡­ perform¡­ perform the acting just now again?¡± For a moment, Lacus¡¯s firm look disappeared and she poked her arm out with a slightly red face, ¡°Who is for it and who is against it? Can you play it again?¡± 0 ¡°¡­Lacus, I told you I was an NT, right? There¡¯s a more important matter now.¡± Ade didn¡¯t know if he should be happy or sad now, he pointed to his head, ¡°The almighty NT radar needs me to take care of it.¡± 0 ¡°Is it dangerous?¡± 0 ¡°I think so. The alarm caused by the malice Scirocco showed just now is similar to the situation on the Eternal, but not that urgent.¡± Ade finds that it seems to be beneficial to provoke an NT, ¡°He¡¯s probably thinking about something really bad and getting worked up about it.¡± 0 Lacus put away that expression just now and began to look down in deep thought. After a while, the young girl looked up, ¡°The possibility of the danger coming from Scirocco himself is minimal. He¡¯s just a messenger, it should be the higher-ups who want to turn against you. First of all, we have no more use, but the Federation can not take direct action against you. Secondly, ZAFT¡¯s next target must be Australia, and the closest base to Orb Union is Torrington. Finally, the defenders of the Torrington base cannot withstand ZAFT¡¯s assault. So the conclusion is?¡± 0 ¡°Strategic contraction, abandon Torrington ¡­ sold us by the way?¡± 0 ¡°If Ade-san is captured by ZAFT, it can provoke His Highness Loran. If you are killed, it would be better for them. Ade-san, have you offended any of the Federation senators?¡± 0 ¡°No, I don¡¯t think so ¡­¡± in addition to Scirocco who he just offended, he had no contact with any of the Federation officials. It must be some other reason. 0 ¡°Anyway, my mission is complete.¡± Lacus still had a smile on her face and didn¡¯t look worried at all, ¡°Next, Ade-san, please save us, right?¡± 0 But now they are under house arrest, robbing a Gundam to run away is absolutely unrealistic. It is impossible to let Loran drive TurnA to take him back. Oh, I guess I can only count on ¡°that¡± at a time like this. 0 ¡°Captain Aker, this is my lifelong request. I¡¯m dying for not be able to browse the forum for so many days. Let me use the pc for a while!¡± 0 ¡°As a soldier, I can¡¯t break military rules just because we have a good personal relationship.¡± 0 ¡°Absolutely nothing suspicious, you can monitor the whole time.¡± As well as the trump card, ¡°I can tell you V2¡¯s boot code.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s none of my business what the world will be! By my own consciousness!¡± 0 Then as if to prove Lacus¡¯ presumptions, Ade was awakened a day later in the morning by the sound of a piercing alarm. He went out just in time to meet Lacus, and the guards who had stood guard at the door all night were gone. Soon, Aker appeared and led them towards the port, explaining to him the current situation along the way. 0 Yesterday at midnight, the officers of the TITANS faction all evacuated, and also took their own direct troops, leaving only the remaining garrison with the order to resist as much as possible, and now ZAFT has almost fought the way to the door of the base. 0 ¡°If you¡¯re not my men, you¡¯re not men. It¡¯s really very TITANS.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°So, after all the TITANS officials have left, you¡¯re now the highest rank here now?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s right, so I now have wartime command.¡± Aker nodded, ¡°The order I gave to everyone was to retreat, it was my decision as the person in charge.¡± 0 ¡°Why didn¡¯t they take V2 with them?¡± 0 ¡°Because I slept in it yesterday.¡± 0 A short time later, everyone arrived at the port and Ade saw that the Orb Union¡¯s spaceship was also there. That was understandable. Since they are so disobedient, the Federation won¡¯t care about their lives. The atmosphere in the port was gloomy, and everyone was worried about their life. 0 The combatants went to the front to buy time, the non-combatants boarded the ship in an orderly manner under the command of the petty officers. Ade and Lacus coincidentally got on Orb Union¡¯s ship. 0 As for Aker, ¡°Dr. Adrien, finally the time has come to keep my promise. Let me, Graham Aker, and your daughter guard her father side by side! This is the destined battle!¡± 0 The Orb Union¡¯s ship started to leave the port. Ade and Lacus both stood on the bridge. From a distance, they could see ZAFT¡¯s MSs spread out like locusts in a spectacular manner. Did ZAFT send out all their combat forces? Shortly after, the Torrington base was easily captured, and some of the MSs flew out to chase after them. 0 Ade borrowed a telescope, and after searching for a while, he finally found Aker. He is being attacked by many ordinary Zakus and an ACE. Although he fought fiercely, he was gradually overwhelmed and started to get shot after killing several enemies. Then in Ade¡¯s shocked eyes, V2¡¯s cockpit ejected at high speed and V2 was blown up. 0 Fortunately, Aker is lucky enough. No one chased after the cockpit, and after a while, he was fished up by a friendly ship. 0 The battle on the front line relied on Aker and Kira. Now that Aker was lost, Kira was fighting and moving away, and the situation was rapidly tilting towards ZAFT¡¯s side, with the battle line getting closer and closer to the ships. A lady on the bridge whimpered. Cagalli went up to comfort her, but how was she supposed to comfort someone with a desperate look on her own face? The lady cried even harder. 0 Lacus quietly held Ade¡¯s hand. The young girl¡¯s palm slightly sweating. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, the fear will still be there. 0 ¡°Ade-san, if your backhand doesn¡¯t work, our agreement can¡¯t be fulfilled.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice had a tremor, ¡°At least, for now, please let me¨C¡° 0 All of a sudden, a wild and hideous torrent of particles rushing and whistling in front of everyone, tearing the sky apart. Countless MSs were turned to dust in the torrent, and the explosions symbolizing death were heard one after another, and the girl¡¯s voice ended abruptly here. 0 ¡°How can it not work?¡± Ade smiled at the ¡°lady¡± who appeared on the other side of the sky, ¡°That¡¯s another me!¡± 0 CH 45 Chapter 45: Miss Alice Is Not Happy 0 Alice¡¯s magnificent appearance gave everyone a shot in the arm. Ade rushed to the deck and waved, and Inle stopped firmly alongside the ship. The friendly forces were shooting crazy to buy him time to get on it. 0 After Inle joined the battlefield, the situation was instantly turned over. Although Inle was designed to have overwhelmed firepower, he still felt a bit shocked after experiencing it all firsthand. 0 This time, Inle is fully loaded. Hyzenthlays and Ferber¡¯s particle cannons, particle beams, and live ammunitions flying in the sky, and the number of Zakus are reduced at a rate visible to the naked eye. V2 is battery-powered, so every shot has to be carefully calculated. But Inle is nuclear-powered and it can shoot energy beams regardless of cost. 0 Beam shields and PS armor provide a thick defense for Inle, and Zaku¡¯s beam rifles and rocket launchers can do little to no damage to it. Even a few Zakus luckily flew close to Inle, they will be shot off immediately by long-bladed rifles. On this battlefield, no one can stop him from blitzing freely. 0 This is an all-around technology crush and absolute cost crush. There are obviously several ACEs on the other side, but the performance gap between Zaku¢ó and Inle is so big that the ACEs¡¯ advantage is not reflected at all. Those ACEs should be very depressing now. Even though they have better driving skills, but sorry, hardcore players can not beat the noob players who paid to buy the best equipment. This is the truth of the game called reality. 0 The pressure from the enemy was so small that he had the strength to chat with Alice. 0 ¡°Ade, I miss you so much!¡± Alice¡¯s voice was so soulful and cheerful, ¡°I¡¯ve been helpful this time, right? Right? Right?¡± 0 ¡°I missed you, too.¡± The long-awaited reunion with Alice made him feel good, ¡°I owe my life to Alice, don¡¯t you think?¡± 0 ¡°But these bad people want to hurt Ade. Alice almost had to be banished in the endless darkness.¡± Alice¡¯s voice suddenly lowered, ¡°So, die, all of you!¡± 0 As the words fell, six drones detached from Ferber¡¯s wings and swept straight toward the enemy group, firing wildly from all tricky angles. Constantly there were Zaku exploded and became Alice¡¯s annihilate record. Unlike the beam pods, which rely only on nozzles, the larger drones are equipped with the Minovsky floating system, and the built-in battery can allow them to fly in the atmosphere for a short period of time. 0 But there were too many enemies after all, and it didn¡¯t take long for two drones to be shot down. However, Alice had no intention of retreat, but fought more aggressively. Alice rarely shows her emotions, so Ade just lets her do what she likes. After all, drones are not expensive for him. He can afford to lose them. 0 The casualty ratio soon exceeded the upper limit, and the opposing commander decisively gave the order to retreat. Ade did not pursue, but simply followed the friendly forces and withdrew in silence. 0 ¡°Ade, please be sure to take me with you wherever you go in the future.¡± Alice remained a bit depressed, ¡°I will protect Ade. Even if I can¡¯t do it, please give me the right to die together with you. Don¡¯t ever have the same situation this time. If Ade died, what should I do?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I promise you. I swear.¡± 0 ¡°Great!¡± Alice¡¯s voice cheered up again, ¡°Let¡¯s put on some music!¡± 0 ¡°Just a moment, Miss Music Player.¡± He fished out a spare phone from the cockpit stowage space, of course, this one wouldn¡¯t blow up, ¡°I have to call C.C. first. She should have seen the news, don¡¯t let her worry.¡± 0 The call went through smoothly, and hearing C.C.¡¯s voice again after almost a month gave him a sense of reassurance. After exchanging information, he learned that C.C. was about to arrive in the Japanese archipelago with Asuka siblings, and was surprised to find that Uraki was also okay and had regained consciousness, but unfortunately could not talk to him at this point in time while he was temporarily in a coma. 0 ¡°There are other less important things, we can talk about them when you get home. By the way, Uraki talked about your unusual reaction when you went down into the atmosphere. Ade, you ¡­ have you ever heard of a name¡­¡± C.C. took a deep breath and let it out again, ¡°Forget it. I didn¡¯t ask.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t! What¡¯s wrong? I care about it.¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have the courage to know the answer right now.¡± C.C.¡¯s voice was a little soft, not quite like her usual self, ¡°Just give me some time, okay?¡± 0 ¡°So am I going to meet up with you guys now?¡± 0 ¡°Just go straight back to the moon. Earth is too unsafe for you.¡± C.C. suddenly shouted, ¡°Alice, are you there? Please protect Ade for me!¡± 0 But Alice ignored her, and Ade hung up the phone awkwardly. 0 With the enemy retreating, the Earth Federation troops were finally able to run away in peace, and Ade temporarily left Alice to return to the ship. Aker ran to Orb Union¡¯s ship at some point, meeting him with a grief-stricken look, ¡°Doctor ¡­ me, I ¡­¡± 0 What can I say? Scum, give my daughter back? 0 ¡°You have done a good job. Bring everyone safely to Sydney is what you have to focus on.¡± Ade patted his shoulder, ¡°Have you thought about what to do back there? I don¡¯t think you can stay in the Australian military zone, and you¡¯re having a hard time over here, right?¡± 0 ¡°I may apply for a transfer. With my personal ability, this request won¡¯t be rejected. I just haven¡¯t thought about where to go yet.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Are you interested in working with Amuro?¡± Ade had a flash of light in his head, ¡°I know Lt. Commander Noa quite well, I can write a letter of introduction to the 13th Fleet for you.¡± 0 ¡°Is this a fateful encounter?¡± Aker¡¯s eyes glowed, ¡°Thank you, Doctor. Please.¡± 0 Then Ade walked over to Lacus, and it was time to fulfill the promise to take her back to the moon. Not far away, Cagalli was holding Kira and whimpering. Ade whispered to Lacus, ¡°What do you think the relationship between them is?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s too obvious, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lacus looked at him in disbelief, ¡°I think even with Ade-san¡¯s emotional intelligence, you can easily tell it out.¡± 0 Ade was faced with a dilemma here, and after a fierce mental struggle, he finally couldn¡¯t stand the condemnation of his conscience and decided to tell the truth. After all, he has often taught Shinn to be a noble, moral person. He can¡¯t go against this principle. 0 ¡°Commodore Yamato.¡± He stepped forward and looked at Kira solemnly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, but there is something I must ask you. May I ask do you know Dr. Ulen Hibiki?¡± 0 Kira squeezed Cagalli¡¯s hand and gestured Ade to a deserted place. He spoke slowly after a moment of expressionless silence, ¡°Dr. Lingus, thank you for giving us a helping hand. But as you can see, now Cagalli is not in a stable mode, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not the time to talk about this. I can speak with you privately afterward if you wish.¡± 0 ¡°But this relates to-¡° 0 ¡°There¡¯s no need for Cagalli to think about that now.¡± There was an invisible power in Kira¡¯s gaze, ¡°I know Dr. Ulen Hibiki, he is a famous geneticist. But he has turned into the dust of history and will have no impact on our lives.¡± 0 Sensitive intuition from the NT let Ade decisively choose to stop here, ¡°¡­ then I will not disturb you.¡± 0 After saying goodbye to Aker, he asked for two sets of driving clothes for himself and Lacus, and finally returned to Inle. Driving Gundam in an undershirt was not his style. 0 ¡°Miss Lacus, hello, I¡¯m Alice, the on-board AI of this MS.¡± Alice greeted politely, ¡°Ade used to talk about you a lot, so I presumed that you would show up one day.¡± 0 ¡°Miss Alice? Hello.¡± Lacus probably took Alice as an ordinary AI and didn¡¯t look surprised, but smiled and looked at Ade, ¡°Can you tell me what Ade-san said about me?¡± 0 ¡°Ade often says that Miss Lacus has a nice voice, it¡¯s just a pity that-¡° 0 ¡°Ah! It¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s get going!¡± 0 This time, Alice brought out TR-4 Dandelion as well, which means that he can drive Inle directly back to the moon without having to go around looking for Mass Driver. For safety¡¯s sake, Ade fixed Lacus behind the seat in the cockpit. It looks a little funny, but here it¡¯s for safety, and fortunately Lacus didn¡¯t protest. 0 Inle began to slowly accelerate up. The acceleration process was relatively long, because the inertial force that the human body needed to withstand should be always within an acceptable range, and Lacus, also a Coordinator, did not feel discomfort. 0 ¡°Ade, she is the second.¡± In the silent cockpit, Alice said in a mechanical voice, ¡°Miss Lacus is the second woman to enter the Hyzenthlays, right? Will there be a third?¡± 0 Lacus didn¡¯t make a sound this time, and he couldn¡¯t see the expression of the young girl behind him, but he decided to decisively change the subject, ¡°Let¡¯s play some music.¡± 0 A full screen of song lists unfolded in front of him, and Lacus observed curiously, ¡°Putting a music player in MS and saving so many songs, this wonderful contrast is indeed very much like Ade-san¡¯s style, just like those papers.¡± 0 ¡°Ade really likes to listen to music.¡± Alice took the initiative to answer, ¡°But Miss Lacus, I¡¯m really sorry, I don¡¯t have your songs stored here.¡± 0 At this time, the speed of the MS reached a limit, and the solar sail stowed inside the TR-4 Dandelion unfolded outward and began the second stage of acceleration. Everyone was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, letting their bodies get used to the new acceleration. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know the vast majority of songs here.¡± Lacus spoke again, letting out an incredulous exclamation, ¡°The only ones I know are ¡­ classical music from before the universe century? Are the rest also pre-universe century music?¡± 0 In a sense, Lacus was right, but it would be too much trouble to explain if he played some music she didn¡¯t know. Ade clicked on Beethoven¡¯s Seventh Symphony. He didn¡¯t really know much about classical music, but it was one of his few favorites. 0 ¡°Ade, can you tell me how you met Miss Lacus?¡± Alice asked accompanied by the music, ¡°You have left me almost a month, I want to know everything about Ade. You told me your things every day before.¡± 0 Listening to Alice¡¯s somewhat aggravated voice, Ade felt quite guilty. It should be lonely to leave her alone in the hangar for almost a month. I have plenty of time to talk to Lacus after coming back, it is better to take care of Alice now. So he began to tell her about what happened after leaving the moon. Alice occasionally ¡°hmmmm¡± to show that she is listening, Lacus remained silent from the beginning to the end, thinking about something he didn¡¯t know. 0 ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the hero saving the beauty again, just like the last time. Ade is like the main character in the story, so handsome!¡± 0 It¡¯s deliberate, it¡¯s definitely deliberate. Although he trusted Alice blindly, he could feel it. Could it be that he did not correct Alice¡¯s growth direction every day like before, she learned some bad things from the Internet? 0 ¡°By the way, Ade, in order to get the moon¡¯s lift-off permit, I connected to your home computer to fetch some files. This is a special circumstance, so it doesn¡¯t count as a violation, right?¡± Alice subtly paused for a while, ¡°There is an encrypted folder inside, and I accidentally opened it. Sorry.¡± 0 ¡­ crap. I¡¯m fucking screwed. 0 ¡°Lacus, let me tell you about Creuset and his family.¡± Ade despairingly changed the subject, ¡°Upon a time, there was a doctor called Ulen Hibiki¡­¡± 0 When they arrived at the moon, it was already late at night on moon time. Ade parked Inle and said goodbye to Alice and took Lacus back home. On the way past the convenience store, he bought a set of disposable underwear by the way. Lacus is certainly no change of clothes, so this is necessary. 0 He considered letting Lacus stay in a hotel later, but today, he didn¡¯t want her to stay alone. 0 ¡°You can sleep in my room for now. This is my room.¡± He gave Lacus a general description of the layout of the house, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep in my parents¡¯ room. It¡¯s rather messy in there, and it¡¯s too rude to let guests stay.¡± 0 ¡°Ade-san lives in a much smaller place than I thought it would be, but it also has a more ¡­ sense of life than I thought?¡± Lacus surveyed the house, ¡°Can I borrow the bathroom now? I can¡¯t take a proper bath in the barracks, after all, I¡¯m a girl too.¡± 0 Ade finally found a new set of towels after a rummage around the house ¨C C.C. always likes to move his packed things around. The young girl thanked him and took the towels and the clothes he had bought earlier into the outer bathroom, closing the door gently. 0 ¡°Sure enough.¡± She looked at the sink and muttered to herself, ¡°Two toothbrushes ¡­¡± 0 CH 46 Chapter 46: Screwed 0 When Ade woke up the sky was already bright. He dazedly touched the phone on his bed and looked at the time, it was just ten o¡¯clock. This is the most peaceful sleep he has had in so many days, and he was a bit reluctant to get up so early. He tightened the pillow in his arms, decided to daze a little longer. By the way, C.C.¡¯s pillow is quite comfortable. 0 Before he fell asleep again, he thought to himself that he would never go out again if he didn¡¯t have to. In the future, it is good to hold on to Loran¡¯s thighs and stay on the moon for life. 0 It was nearly twelve o¡¯clock when Ade got up from bed reluctantly. He casually put a piece of clothing on his body, with sleepy eyes went into the bathroom, and began to wash up. But why are there three toothbrushes? Whose pink one is this? The cold water on his face finally made him wake up a little, then he then remembered that there seems to be an extra person in the house. 0 It seems a bit impolite to leave the guest at home and sleep by himself until noon. ¡­ After washing up, Ade walked slightly awkwardly towards the living room and heard a sound coming from the kitchen. Hmm, was she too hungry that she decided to find something to eat on her own? 0 ¡°Ade-san, you¡¯re finally up? Please wait a moment, lunch will be ready soon.¡± The pink-haired girl with her back to him was busy with something in the kitchen, ¡°I wanted to call you up for breakfast, but seeing Ade-san sleeping so soundly, I kind of couldn¡¯t bear to call you up.¡± 0 Wait, what is this situation? What is this? Transmigration again after sleep? 0 ¡°The refrigerator is full of nutritional supplements, and the cabinet over there is full of takeaway advertisements. Is this how Ade-san usually settles your diet?¡± The young lady still kept talking, ¡°It¡¯s not a healthy lifestyle. I used to be very busy at work, but I eat well at every meal.¡± 0 C.C. seems to be able to cook, but hardly ever, and he himself¡¯s even lazier, so long live the supplements. But that¡¯s not the problem, ¡°I don¡¯t remember there being anything left to eat at home. Lacus, well, where did the ingredients come from?¡± 0 ¡°I bought them online, I placed an order last night, and they were delivered early in the morning, and I also bought some supplies that I must live with by the way.¡± Lacus finally began to serve dishes, ¡°By the way, I borrowed Ade-san¡¯s computer without greeting. Sorry, but I definitely did not browse any file without permission. I was almost recognized by the delivery man, is my hair too conspicuous?¡± 0 Ade looked at the young girl busy putting food on the table, and he hurriedly went forward to help. But¡­ how do I persuade her to live in the hotel after a while? 0 ¡°Please make sure to tell me the real feedback, and don¡¯t say things like ¡®it¡¯s really delicious¡¯ just to take care of my emotions.¡± Lacus looked at him apprehensively, ¡°In the past, my father and I were both very busy at work and rarely had time to eat together. I always thought of surprising my father when I secretly learned to cook well, but I don¡¯t have the chance anymore. Ade-san is the first person to try my handmade cooking, so please do tell me what you think.¡± 0 You are not participating in some cooking talent show, cooking a meal does not need such a sensational backstory ¡­ 0 Ade chewed the food in his mouth and gave his thoughts honestly, ¡°Surprisingly okay? I thought big stars would have dark cooking.¡± 0 They didn¡¯t talk much during the meal, and after the meal, Ade took the initiative to clean up the dishes. It¡¯s not polite to let the guest do it. After the meal, the two sat back at the table. Ade hardened his heart and decided to have a good talk with her. After all, they are not in love, so it¡¯s better to find another place for her to live. 0 Besides, although C.C. seems quite cold, if her bed is moved by others, she surely will blow up. 0 ¡°So it¡¯s true that you still want to kick me out?¡± Before he could organize his words, Lacus spoke up first, ¡°Even though I¡¯ve tried hard to make myself more valuable, it¡¯s still not enough, right? To Mr. Ade, my ¡®trouble¡¯ attribute still far outweighs my ¡®value¡¯, so he¡¯d rather have me move out and live alone, is that right?¡± 0 ¡°No, it¡¯s not that I find you troublesome. I wouldn¡¯t have taken you back to the moon in the first place if I was afraid of trouble.¡± Ade carefully weighed his words, he didn¡¯t want to make his words sound hurtful, after all, he had already made a similar mistake, and the mind of a young girl is actually very sensitive, ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not quite appropriate to live in an unmarried man¡¯s home, right? I will help you find a place close to my house, and it will be convenient if we want to meet.¡± 0 ¡°Ade-san knows that I don¡¯t care about that, so why are you using such flimsy reasons?¡± Lacus indicated C.C.¡¯s room with her eyes, ¡°Is that Ade-san¡¯s cohabitant¡¯s room? Is it a girl?¡± 0 It¡¯s definitely because Alice talked too much yesterday! 0 ¡°Sorry, I only know that Ade-san doesn¡¯t officially announce who he¡¯s dating, and didn¡¯t know that you were living with someone.¡± Lacus showed a sad smile, ¡°It must be a very pretty girl, right? After all, her charm is so great that I, a big star, can¡¯t compete with it. I was quite confident in myself before. Are she and Ade-san already pledging to marry?¡± 0 This question made him freeze for a moment, what kind of relationship did he have with C.C.? Contractor? Collaborator? Or was it considered lovers? 0 ¡°I see.¡± Lacus quietly sighed in relief, ¡°I will not cause trouble in Ade-san¡¯s life, if that lady comes back, you can tell me in advance, and I will leave immediately. I ¡­ can guarantee that I won¡¯t leave traces of my life behind.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not about that.¡± Doesn¡¯t it make it like he is carrying on a clandestine love affair? ¡°The problem is-¡° 0 ¡°What¡¯s the problem? I just want to find myself a place to stay, is it too much to ask?¡± The young girl looked a little agitated and raised her voice quite a bit, ¡°Even just once, can you please put yourself in my shoes and think about my situation?¡± 0 ¡­ What does that mean? 0 ¡°I wonder if Mr. Ade has ever had a similar experience, coming alone to a completely unknown place, unable to return to the previous environment, without any familiar people or things around, only an endless sense of loneliness and fear.¡± Lacus¡¯s eyes are a little empty, ¡°This time, in the darkness I find the only light, so I want to fight everything to grab it hard. Can¡¯t I?¡± 0 Ah, I understand, of course, I understand. After transmigrating into this world, I was like that. In this psychotic-like world, I was looking for the only light ¡­ 0 ¡°I lost my last family member not long ago, I lost my beloved country, and went from being the beloved Miss Lacus to being a wanted traitor. People in my country want to kill me, people on earth want to possess me, and there is no place for me in this big, big world.¡± Lacus looked straight into the depths of his pupils, ¡°At this time, there was one man who saved me from the devil¡¯s den. He came forward and said he believed in me, said he would protect me, said he would give me a small place to rest on the moon.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m a politician, I admit it. But I¡¯m also a girl who gets lonely, who gets scared, who gets insecure. Is it a luxury to ask for the only hope I¡¯ve managed to grab, the only person I¡¯ve found to rely on to be a little closer to me?¡± 0 Sigh. Is Lacus being too eloquent, or am I being too easy to be moved¡­ 0 The young girl seems to have finished venting and regained her composure, ¡°Please forgive me if I brought a little bit of acting with my excitement just now. I found that Ade-san would be overwhelmed if I did that, so I could not help but do so. But everything I said is true. If you don¡¯t believe it, please use your almighty NT ability to verify it.¡± 0 ¡°Do you have some strange misunderstanding about NT? It¡¯s not such a convenient thing.¡± Ade held his forehead with some headache, ¡°NT will only be extremely sensitive to each other, and will only have a very vague sense when it comes to non-NT. It can¡¯t be used as a lie detector as you think.¡± 0 ¡°Then Ade-san keep saying believe me ¡­?¡± 0 ¡°I do not have the ability to distinguish the truth of each of your words, and it is too tiring to do so, so to be lazy, I simply always believe you.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°I believe everything you just said, so I¡¯m convinced by you. You can stay in my room until the other owner of this house returns.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ade. Thank you for letting me stay, and thank you for believing in me!¡± Lacus folded her hands and smiled brightly, ¡°I still need some household items and some clothes, shall we go shopping together this afternoon?¡± 0 But before that, Ade tried to contact Loran ¨C Harry had given him Loran¡¯s contact information before. Although Char would not be bored enough to ask the moon to extradite Lacus to ZAFT, he still has to talk to Loran and thank him for his previous speech by the way. 0 Harry told him that Loran already knew he was back, but was busy today, and would take the initiative to contact him tomorrow. In addition, Loran also gave Ade a message, ¡°Deal with the girl you bought back yourself.¡± So does everyone on the moon already know it? 0 In the afternoon, Ade took Lacus out to shop. Although he thought online shopping would be fine, Lacus insisted that they must buy clothes in the shops. This point is quite similar to C.C., or is it that girls are all like this? 0 On the way, Lacus was not recognized, but Ade was recognized several times. He then remembered that he is also a public figure on TV, but the good thing is that he has never been in the gossip news, and those who recognize him are kindly greeting him. Slightly regretful that no one asked him for an autograph. 0 Lacus acted happily and treated herself like a clothes rack, trying on all kinds of clothes, but only bought a few pieces in the end. Ade felt embarrassed looking at the salesclerk, so he also bought some clothes for her. Anyway, Lacus now lives in his own room, and his own closet was very empty, so it does not matter. 0 After accompanying Lacus all day, Ade returned home exhausted and collapsed on the sofa, only the young girl was still in good spirits and cooking dinner. It feels good to have a hot meal instead of ordering takeout and drinking supplements, right? 0 After dinner, the girl found that he was very tired, so she did not pester him to talk, but went back to her room to rest. Ade lay on the bed, thinking that it would be better to talk to C.C. about it, but how to say it? Well, let me take my time and think about it. 0 The next morning, Ade, whose biological clock was back to normal, woke up on time. After coming to the living room, he rubbed his eyes incredulously because he saw someone talking with Lacus in his living room. Am I still dreaming? 0 ¡°Your Highness Loran?!¡± 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, sorry to bother you so early.¡± Loran stood up and greeted him, ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush, take your time. Miss Lacus is very considerate in her hospitality.¡± 0 Ade cleaned himself up as fast as he could and was ready to follow Loran, but Loran insisted on having breakfast at his house, which was of course made by Lacus. 0 After the meal, Ade got into Loran¡¯s car, and it turned out that Harry had been waiting outside in the car. 0 ¡°Miss Lacus is a very nice person. I think those wanted by PLANT must have inside information.¡± Loran smiled kindly at Ade, ¡°I think Dr. Adrien did the right thing this time.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you for giving a helping hand earlier.¡± Ade politely saluted, ¡°Is something wrong? Why in such a hurry?¡± 0 ¡°Something was indeed something wrong, and I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s something that only you can resolve.¡± Loran grimaced, ¡°TurnA¡¯s¡­ system halted.¡± 0 CH 47 Chapter 47: Uta ni Katachi wa Nai Keredo Ade remembered that in his previous life, he had an experience of getting a super-powerful prop in a game and waited to use it in the final boss battle. The result is that the official suddenly released a patch and removed the prop. Now he is in such a mood. But now is not the time to curse, as a scientist, he decided to confirm with his own eyes before cursing. This time it was Loran who personally accompanied him to the secret warehouse where TurnA was stored. The matter was so serious that no second person was allowed to exist at the scene. Ade looked at the twenty meters high TurnA, once again felt a sense of dissonance. As this trip to Earth, he saw more up-and-coming MSs, and this sense of dissonance became more and more intense. As an expert in MS, one of the few experts in the entire human activity circle, he felt qualified to make such a judgment ¨C TurnA is not something from this world. All the MSs in this world are ¡°referred¡±, even if they are not designed and manufactured by him. From Zaku to The-O, all the MSs have been changed in order to exist in this mixed world in a reasonable way. Some have become completely different, like Lancelot; some are slightly adjusted, like Zaku¢ó; but none of them remain exactly as he remembers. Except for TurnA. Whether it¡¯s the logo on the forehead, the comically shaped boar-like head, the core fighter in the crotch, or the overall color scheme, everything is exactly the same as the TurnA he remembers. It¡¯s not like it was developed naturally, but rather like moved directly from the anime. Now thinking about it, even Moonlight Butterfly¡¯s weird power radius can be explained ¨C the original design of the power radius is to Jupiter, nothing conspiracy here. He thought too much. So the question was thrown at him again: where did TurnA come from? ¡°Dr. Adrien, it¡¯s too difficult to explain, just see for yourself.¡± Loran led him over to the core fighter that had been unloaded and put aside, the cockpit had been opened, ¡°The problem was first discovered on the night of February 14, and TurnA has been like this since that day.¡± Ade nodded to Loran and climbed into the cockpit and opened the operating system. TurnA¡¯s operating system was not quite the same style as any mainstream operating system in this world. After the boot screen, the system loaded the main interface, and then there was no more. Loran¡¯s description is very professional, its system indeed halted. No matter what button he presses, the system does not respond, and the only thing he can do is to reboot, and of course he did it. But after the reboot, the situation is still the same. Since reboot is not working then the only solution is to reinstall the system. Where can I buy TurnA¡¯s operating system? ¡°I¡¯ve tried all the buttons and button combinations, nothing works. The dismounting of the cockpit itself has no effect on the MS, no need to waste time on it.¡± Loran watched Ade and explained, ¡°The only function that works in the main interface is to change the operating system language.¡± As Loran said, Ade found the function to change the language in the corner of the home screen, which was clickable. He changed a few to try, good, he could enjoy the halted interface in various languages now. Wait ¡­ halted? ¡°Your Highness, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ve fallen into a misconception.¡± Ade felt a bit flustered, ¡°I always thought that the ¡®locking up the files¡¯ function was set by TurnA¡¯s designer, it was TurnA itself limiting its own functions, and that¡¯s how I explained it to you and Her Majesty Diana. But¡­ is there any possibility that TurnA has no traps of its own, it¡¯s just a super-powerful MS, and the locked file is because TurnA is being attacked by a computer virus?¡± ¡°Computer ¡­ virus?¡± Loran was dumbfounded. ¡°Yeah, that would make sense. There¡¯s some kind of virus that¡¯s eroding TurnA¡¯s operating system, but TurnA itself is doing the resistance, so it¡¯s making slow progress. The erosion wasn¡¯t serious before and only the files were locked by the virus, and now TurnA itself finally couldn¡¯t hold out and the whole system started to crash.¡± The more Ade said, the colder he felt on his back, ¡°If you can be sure that this is how TurnA has been since its discovery, then what you picked up in the first place was the infected TurnA.¡± ¡°Are you saying that TurnA was infected from the beginning?¡± Ade nodded, ¡°Just kind of guessing. TurnA should have a previous user, but in the process of use, it was placed a virus that was powerful enough to destroy TurnA¡¯s system, then it was abandoned¡­¡± Loran was obviously shocked by this conclusion and could not accept it for a while, and Ade could understand his reaction. He did not want to accept it either, but it was the most reasonable explanation he could find at the moment. ¡°Your Highness.¡± Ade felt that his voice had little energy, ¡°May I take the liberty to ask, is there anything else excavated that has the same problem as TurnA?¡± ¡°No, only TurnA is faulty. The others are not as broken as TurnA¡­ although I don¡¯t know what they are and what they can be used for.¡± ¡°What about TurnX?¡± This was the last hope. ¡°What¡¯s TurnX?¡± Loran looked confused, ¡°What does it have to do with TurnA?¡± ¡°What was the name of the dedicated MS that General Ghingham drove in the Earth-Moon War?¡± ¡°Dedicated MS?¡± Loran doesn¡¯t understand what Ade is talking about, ¡°Didn¡¯t he drive a mass-produced common MS?¡± That¡¯s what happens when you don¡¯t learn history well. The history books do not record what Ghingham drove, only that it was an MS. But the existence of TurnA and Ghingham made Ade subconsciously thought that Ghingham¡¯s MS is TurnX. ¡°I¡¯m not holding out much hope, but I¡¯ll struggle a little more ¡­¡± The dying struggle proved to be of little consequence, Ade eventually found nothing, and he returned home with a tired body after 4:00 am. The house was dark, and he remembered that he forgot to inform Lacus that he would be late, but never mind, Lacus must have gone to bed. It would be dawn in a few hours, and every organ in his body was protesting loudly, urging him to sleep, but his brain was sleepless. He did not bother to turn on the light, just lying on the sofa and look at the ceiling to launch a daze. Will the moon lost its force deterrence? Loran was worried about this, right? He was worried about this when he first heard about it, and was thinking about how to try to improve the moon¡¯s armament level. But compared to what¡¯s in front of us, is that a problem? If only TurnA existed, it was a little better. But now he has known that the solar system was a battlefield of two big shots once upon a time. It is better to pray that these two big shots have died together. If they came back to the solar system, the aftermath of the fight may be able to destroy everyone. Oh, yes, there is ELS we need to worry about too. Without Moonlight Butterfly, how can we defeat ELS? By the way, he doesn¡¯t know what the virus will eventually become. Maybe TurnA will blow up one day. If that happened, he didn¡¯t have to worry about anything ¨C because everyone is doomed to be screwed facing that situation. This garbage worldview is such bullshit. Gundam plus Geass, oh, you can accept it? Then aliens and ELS. Oh, you are still calm? Then give you something stronger. In a word, the goal is to drive you crazy. It¡¯s really tired to face these. And this time, this time, I really do not know how to do ¡­ Suddenly came the sound of the door opening, followed by the voice of Lacus, ¡°Ade-san, you¡¯re back?¡± Is she still awake at midnight? But he didn¡¯t want to talk, he just gave a breathless mmm. Lacus perceptively didn¡¯t turn the light on and walked over to the couch in the dark. Ade felt a person sitting down next to his head, close enough to feel the temperature of the body. ¡°Is something going on, Mr. Ade?¡± Lacus¡¯s voice was gentle, ¡°Or are you in some kind of trouble?¡± ¡°¡­ Hmm.¡± ¡°It must be a problem that only Ade-san can solve, right? Your Highness Loran looked anxious.¡± The young girl continued to ask softly, ¡°Or is it a problem that even Ade-san can¡¯t solve?¡± ¡°¡­ Hmm.¡± ¡°This problem must be very serious, right? So Ade-san is in this worried look.¡± The young girl placed her hand gently on his head, ¡°Is it something that I can¡¯t understand? Is it a distress that only Ade-san can understand?¡± ¡°¡­ hmm.¡± ¡°But sometimes the world is like that. There will be things you can¡¯t do anything about. Mr. Ade is very powerful in my mind, but he¡¯s not omnipotent either. Why would you want to solve everything by yourself? It¡¯s natural that there are problems that can¡¯t be solved.¡± Lacus¡¯s voice is getting lighter, ¡°But even so, Ade-san wants to continue fighting, right? You are a person who doesn¡¯t know to give up.¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m just a little tired and complaining.¡± Ade closed his eyes, ¡°Just let me sleep. Tomorrow everything will be back to normal. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t be of much help at a time like this, but at least I can sing to you.¡± The young lady laughed softly, ¡°Ade-san said before, you slept well when listening to my song? What do you want to hear? Now you can order songs.¡± ¡°¡­ whatever you want.¡± ¡°When I cleaned up the house during the day, I found a lot of sheet music in the cracks under the table, full of dust. But they are all tunes I have not seen before, are they the songs that Miss Alice has stored?¡± Lacus did not mean to ask seriously, so she did not wait for Ade to answer and continued, ¡°There is a song in it I particularly like. Can I sing it to you?¡± Oh, it fell into that kind of place. No wonder I can¡¯t find it. ¡°¡­ hmm.¡± The young girl cleared her throat and took a deep breath, ¡°Cherry petals color early spring (±¡¼t¤Î•r¤ò²Ê¤ë»¨¤Ó¤é) I had expected to be able to smile (¤Ò¤é¤Ò¤éÎ褦¹â¤ÎÖÐ) In swaying lights (ƒW¤ÏЦ¤¨¤¿¤Ï¤º)¡­¡± The clear and quiet song echoes gently, the cold and dark living room seems to have become a little warmer. Ade emptied his brain in the song, relaxed his body, let go of his spirit, the heavy load on his heart seemed to be melted partly by the gentle song, and his consciousness seemed to be less stagnant. ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll sing for you (ƒW¤Ï¸è¤¦¤è) I¡¯ll support you (Цò¤¯¤ì¤¿¾ý¤¬Æü¤¤¤Æ¤ë¤È¤­) When you, who gave me smiles, are crying (¤Û¤ó¤ÎÉÙ¤·¤À¤±¤Ç¤â¤¤¤¤) Even if I can do little for you (¾ý¤ÎÖ§¤¨¤Ë¤Ê¤ê¤¿¤¤)¡­¡± It is clear that it is a madrigal, why do I feel that I hear the accompaniment? Suddenly I have a delusion that I may be able to struggle a little more. Maybe I should find Loran tomorrow and try again? ¡°¡­ All things I send to you (ƒW¤¬Ëͤë¤â¤Î¤ÏÈ«¤Æ) Are formless things (ÐΤΤʤ¤¤â¤Î¤À¤±¤É) But I want them to shine (¾ý¤ÎÐÄ¤ÎÆ¬Óç¤Ç) In a corner of your heart (Ýx¤¯ÐǤˤʤꤿ¤¤) .¡± CH 48 Chapter 48: The Only Official Designated Version 0 Mineva is six years old this year, but due to her long reclusive life, she is now showing vague signs of autism. The little girl does not open her mouth at all in the face of people she does not know, and only in front of Char and Haman can she carry on a normal conversation. 0 ¡°Although it is to protect her from ambitious people, this price is still too high for a child of this age.¡± Char gently stroked Mineva¡¯s small head with self-condemnation, and the little girl showed an expression of enjoyment, ¡°Haman, now that we finally have no political enemies in PLANT, it¡¯s time to make it up to her.¡± 0 ¡°Char, I¡¯m afraid we don¡¯t have that much time right now.¡± Haman did not have such deep feelings for Mineva as Char, and she did not quite understand where Char got such deep feelings, ¡°It¡¯s not too late to wait for things to be done.¡± 0 ¡°But it will be the young who create the era after all, and a race without children has no future.¡± Char picked up Mineva and put her on his lap, ¡°How is it on Earth today?¡± 0 ¡°Zala is lucky. Britannia refuses to send troops, he has almost occupied entire Australia.¡± Haman flipped through the material in her hands, ¡°Could he really have won the bet?¡± 0 ¡°The so-called war is not decided by winning or losing just a few battles. We have to have confidence in our judgment that ZAFT will definitely lose. When Zala gets carried away, that¡¯s the time he¡¯ll lose his life, and this has happened countless times in history.¡± Char was talking about serious topics, but was intimately scraping Mineva¡¯s cheeks with his fingers, ¡°War was never our aim, all we did was to get humanity off the planet.¡± 0 ¡°The people in the Convocation probably thought you were either lucrative or crazy.¡± Haman looked at the beautiful blond man in confusion, ¡°But¡­ is it just because of those fossils?¡± 0 ¡°You don¡¯t understand my point either, Haman.¡± Char sighed. He understands the difficulty of finding someone who truly understood his worries, ¡°The fossils don¡¯t simply mean that there are aliens coming to fight, but the proof that there are other life forms that exist besides we carbon-based creatures. It¡¯s not just one more race in the universe, it¡¯s an infinite possibility.¡± 0 ¡°I still don¡¯t understand ¡­¡± 0 ¡°For example, the silicon-based life in science fiction may really exist, metal-based life may also exist. Is it possible that life as large as a star, life as small as a nano, or life as incomprehensible as a computer virus also exist?¡± Char feels a chill down his back whenever he talks about this, ¡°Don¡¯t cling to what¡¯s in front of you. See what lies beyond that. Find the greater reality.¡± 0 ¡°So is Adrien Lingus the only one who understands you?¡± Haman said this as if with a hint of jealousy, ¡°but he did not appreciate it and instead fled with the young princess of the Clyne family. I¡¯m afraid that to him, a beautiful woman is still more attractive, right?¡± 0 ¡°He is the one who truly understands the meaning of the fossils, and reveres the universe on the basis of it. I can feel it as an NT.¡± He shook his head regretfully, ¡°Why waste his power when he obviously has such a strong technology and such excellent NT sensing? Maybe only after letting him see ¡®that stuff¡¯ in the Antarctic, after letting him know how urgent it all is, will he truly understand my thoughts.¡± 0 ¡°That stuff in the Antarctic?¡± Haman got alert, ¡°Char, this is the first time you¡¯ve mentioned this to me.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I wandered around Earth for a while after I died, and I went into the Antarctic by mistake once then. As you know, the Antarctic was blockaded by Britannia, supposedly with exclusive rights to exploit the resources.¡± Char deliberately blurred out the name of a person he didn¡¯t want to mention in front of Haman, ¡°but that was a lie, and the moment I got close, I understood. Although I didn¡¯t see it with my own eyes, as an NT, I could feel that there was some kind of powerful creature underneath the ice.¡± 0 ¡°A sea monster?¡± This was Haman¡¯s first reaction, because today¡¯s Char kept saying some sci-fi-based things. 0 ¡°It was a vast, magnificent, pure consciousness with an absolute difference in ¡®quality¡¯ from the human soul.¡± As if sensing Char¡¯s unease, Mineva looked up at him in his arms, ¡°Foolish and corrupt rulers think that by mastering technology, they become gods, and can seal such things under the ice and rest on their laurels. A bunch of mundane things! Precisely because humans are stupid, greedy, and conceited, so we are absolutely no match for such an absolute being.¡± 0 Haman would love for Char to be making up stories, but NTs can¡¯t lie to each other. 0 ¡°The Earth is a trap that will eventually become a prison for all humans. I don¡¯t know by what means or how, but no one can escape from it, so we have to go to the universe, it¡¯s the only way out.¡± Char tightened the little girl in his arms, ¡°and do whatever it takes to achieve that.¡± 0 ¡°Char?¡± Mineva couldn¡¯t understand what he was saying, but felt a little scared and reached out her little hand to try to touch his face. 0 ¡°The so-called NewType is a self-help for humanity as a race, a trial to get rid of the old image of decay and move towards a higher form of life.¡± Char grabbed Mineva¡¯s small hand and put it on his face, ¡°But there is no more time to evolve step by step. I don¡¯t know when the final judgment will be, but humanity is coming closer and closer to doomsday. There is no time to wait for New Type to slowly appear, it must be facilitated by ourselves, even if it is by the most extreme methods.¡± 0 ¡°The modification of the gamma ray laser cannon went well.¡± Haman knew that the most extreme method Char was referring to was this, ¡°It¡¯s really ironic. It was designed as a system to charge the spacecraft¡¯s solar sail to keep humans away from Earth, but now, it has become a weapon aimed at Earth. Char, won¡¯t you give her a proper name?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Let¡¯s call it Genesis, how about it, Haman?¡± Char gave his answer with a little contemplation, ¡°Instead of letting unknown creatures judge humanity, let¡¯s create a new future ourselves.¡± 0 ¡°A very good name, full of the power of belief.¡± Haman smiled with satisfaction, so this is the confident Char she likes, ¡°So far, everything is going well. Some of the uranium is already being mined. By the time Genesis is all done, Speaker Zala will have completed his mission. The humans will be forced to leave Earth, and your domination of the race¡¯s future will surely succeed.¡± 0 ¡°Nothing is certain to succeed, and overconfidence can be our own stumbling block. Haman, the triumph in your life has made you careless.¡± Char put Minerva to the ground and stood up, ¡°I¡¯m walking a tightrope from start to finish, and failure is more than possible. If I fail, just take Mineva and leave PLANT. Don¡¯t continue to be entangled in the whirlpool of politics.¡± 0 ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you believe in my ability? Even if it¡¯s just me, I can continue your will.¡± 0 ¡°If I fail, it means that this path is not going to work, and there is no point in continuing to dwell on it, and it is not good for Mineva¡¯s growth.¡± Char took Mineva¡¯s small hand, ¡°You have to remember to educate her so she doesn¡¯t become the next Zabi. To make her a good woman who is free of prejudice and knows how to love.¡± 0 ¡°But isn¡¯t it only a matter of time before humanity is finished? And where can we escape to if we leave PLANT?¡± Haman showed her disapproval, ¡°If what you say is true, will Mineva live long enough to see that?¡± 0 ¡°Go to the moon.¡± Char sighed regretfully once again, ¡°The only one who understands it is there. I hope he knows what he¡¯s doing.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°So what the hell am I doing?¡± Ade sighed impotently, what he was doing now had nothing to do with science anymore. It should be the realm of psychology, no, metaphysics now. 0 After falling asleep on the couch last night listening to Lacus¡¯s song, the young girl surprisingly sat with him on the couch all night, and after he woke up in the morning, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Lacus leaning back on the couch in a sleeping position. No matter how he thought about it, he felt guilty. 0 However, due to the encouragement of the girl, he had the delusion that he could still fight, so he got up and found Loran and TurnA to start the second round of the battle. 0 After double-checking with Loran, he got two pieces of bad news. 0 The first is that TurnX really doesn¡¯t exist. It¡¯s been decades since the relics were discovered, and everything has long since been excavated and sorted out. Loran swears that while most things can¡¯t be shown to him yet, there¡¯s absolutely nothing called TurnX or that looks like TurnX. 0 The second is that TurnA has been unable to shut down for a long time. This is not a recent thing, but has been the case since Loran got TurnA. Usually, the so-called shutdown or reboot is just resetting the state of the operating system The core energy can not be turned off, both the MS fuselage and the core fighter. 0 The second point, in Ade¡¯s view, should be the effect of the virus. In order for the erosion to proceed smoothly, refusing to be cut off is the proper quality of a good virus. Now thinking about it, it was too easy for him to get the nanobots before, and now he guessed it was because of this virus. It seemed that the erosion had destroyed part of TurnA¡¯s functionality at that time. 0 Let him fix TurnA ¨C it is not realistic. Even he himself does not believe that he can remove this virus. But he can struggle to find a way to stop the energy of TurnA, so that the erosion of the virus will be forcibly suspended. If he succeeded, at least he doesn¡¯t have to worry about TurnA blowing up at any moment. 0 But scientific means can no longer work, and he is now looking for clues in metaphysical means. TurnA has more than three hundred languages to choose from, that is to say, there are more than three hundred different kinds of system halted interfaces. Ade is looking one by one along the way. By the time he finished watching the three hundred interfaces, his own eyes would be probably almost ruined. 0 He himself has designed operating systems for MSs. Although the operating systems he made usually have only a dozen languages to choose, however, there must be Simplified Chinese, and he will definitely add some hard-to-find Easter eggs in the interface of Simplified Chinese, which is consistent with his bad taste in the papers. As far as he knew, Dr. Minovsky was similar to him. He would also add some Easter eggs in his native language to his works during his lifetime. 0 The more distinguished people in a certain field, be it science or art, the more they like to add hidden Easter eggs to their works, and the mother tongue is often the best soil for the Easter eggs to hide. 0 What Ade is doing now is praying that TurnA¡¯s OS writer is a guy who shares his bad taste, and trying to find the writer¡¯s native language out of more than 300 languages. 0 That¡¯s right, it doesn¡¯t have a dime to do with scientific research anymore, it¡¯s pure metaphysics. Dr. Lingus, who was at his wits¡¯ end, began to make every possible effort. 0 After browsing for an unknown period of time, changing nearly three hundred languages in a row, Ade felt that he was about to start having hallucinations. At this moment, he finally found something so light that he could barely see it on the interface. He even went to wash his face in case he was really hallucinating. 0 ¡°You must be kidding me.¡± He wondered if he would be better off going to wash his face again, ¡°Simplified Chinese?!¡± CH 49 Chapter 49: Simplified Chinese Version 0 Despite having lived in this world for years, Ade still feels that this matter is now the most ridiculous he has ever encountered ¨C the Chinese version of TurnA. In the corner of the main screen, where he himself used to hide the magic conch icon, there was a watermark in Chinese, so faint as to be almost invisible: ¡°Official Simplified Chinese Version¡±. 0 He would have hesitated if it was only this line, after all, it only stated that the maker¡¯s native language was Chinese, but the line was followed by a (?¦Ø?) that was also so faint that it was almost invisible. That was too much information, so much that Ade does not know whether to think first or to whinge first. 0 First of all, he can be 100% sure that the maker of TurnA is a Chinese time-traveler like him, but this person seems to leave no trace in this world, at least he did not see any trace of a time-traveler from history books. 0 And then even if the maker of TurnA is Chinese, it doesn¡¯t mean that the situation has improved. He still has to solve the problem by himself. 0 But this clue is not meaningless. At least it proves that the TurnA maker¡¯s thinking and his thinking are similar, then he can bring his heart into the TurnA developers¡¯ perspective to think about the problem. 0 The operating system Ade made himself has a back door that only he knows. If you turn the system into Simplified Chinese and then poke the magic conch a hundred and eight times, you can enter a special mode. This mode can use the highest authority to directly mobilize hardware resources, but can only complete the most basic operations such as reboot, shutdown, cut off the power furnace, as so on. 0 This is the product of his idleness, even if others found out, it does not matter. The priority of this mode is above all, symbolizing his absolute control over MS as the maker. If TurnA¡¯s maker had the same habit as himself ¡­ 0 So Ade began to poke the (?¦Ø?). When he pokes, the screen doesn¡¯t change. This might be to prevent others to see out this back door. After more than two hundred pokes and no response, he began to think that TurnA¡¯s maker might not be as bored as he was, but he decided to poke up to a thousand just in case. When he reached 666 pokes, the screen finally changed and a brand new window replaced the previous system halted interface. 0 Looks like TurnA¡¯s maker was even more bored than he was ¡­ 0 But it¡¯s really similar to his way of thinking. The functions on the new window have only reboot, shutdown, and cut off the power furnace. Without hesitation, Ade pressed the button to cut off the power furnace, and a new small window popped up asking him for the password, followed by a button to retrieve it. He pressed the ¡°Forgot the Password?¡± button, and another window popped up that said, ¡°I wrote the password down on the computer in the center to prevent forgetting it. 0 ¡°So, Your Highness Loran, do you know what ¡®the computer in the center¡¯ refers to? Looking at the context, the center should be something like a research center.¡± Ade now knew how C.C. felt when she complained to him about ¡°Hyzenthlays¡¯s encryption system is insane¡±, ¡°Is there anything you found from the relics that fits the description?¡± 0 ¡°How did you find this?!¡± Loran was shocked and slightly disoriented, ¡°I¡¯ve been with it for decades and didn¡¯t even know TurnA had this kind of functionality?¡± 0 ¡°Fate, it¡¯s all fate.¡± Ade quickly looked around, ¡°So does His Highness Loran have an idea for this ¡®computer in the center¡¯? It¡¯s probably our only hope.¡± 0 After Loran looked down and pondered for a while. He made an appearance of having made up his mind, and went aside to make a phone call, muttered for half a day, and afterward faced Ade and said, ¡°Come with me.¡± 0 So you can directly ask Diana, what¡¯s the use of thinking? In the end, you still have to ask your wife. Of course, Ade dare not say it out, only secretly think in the heart. 0 Leaving the secret warehouse where TurnA is stored, Harry drove a car with the two and circled around for a long time, and finally entered a building. The car has been driving in the closed channel, Ade can not see the appearance of the building, but can see that the walls of the building are metal. The internal canals of the building are very complicated, Loran led him inside and turned for a long time, and finally went through a metal door that would open automatically and entered a room. 0 The interior of the room is very spacious, visually dozens of meters wide. The walls were still made of metal, and the whole was shaped like a giant bowl upside down, with smooth curved surfaces all around. The walls are engraved with strange runes that look like circuits, it is not clear what the purpose is, but it looks very technological. The only thing in the empty room was a huge computer in the middle, and the screen was glowing. 0 ¡°If we¡¯re talking about the computer in the center, this is the only one I can think of.¡± Loran led Ade towards the huge computer in the center of the room, ¡°This is not supposed to be where you are now. Dr. Adrien, with all due respect, we don¡¯t trust each other to this extent yet. But since things have come to this, it means that our relationship must be forced to move forward.¡± 0 The first part of Loran¡¯s statement was true, and Ade could totally understand it. But the second half of the statement was subtle, and Ade wasn¡¯t sure what it meant, so he chose to respond in silence. 0 The two walked up to the computer, and the huge screen prominently displayed the phrase, ¡°Current MSs Online: 0.¡± 0 ¡°This entire device only has this one function displayed now, but so far I haven¡¯t even figured out what this counter is for. It¡¯s been zero for decades since I found it, and it¡¯s never changed.¡± Loran looked up and frowned, ¡°Looks like some kind of MS detector? But I don¡¯t know what the object of detection is. By the way, it can also switch the display language, there are also more than three hundred kinds. I have not tried them all.¡± 0 ¡°Can you switch the language to Simplified Chinese?¡± Ade also doesn¡¯t understand what it means, ¡°That square-shaped text. Yes, that¡¯s it.¡± 0 With Loran¡¯s operations in the console, the entire screen flashed, and then everything turned into Chinese. 0 ¡°Is it the same as on TurnA just now?¡± Loran couldn¡¯t read Chinese, he looked at Ade in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s next?¡± 0 ¡°Your Highness Loran, look over there, there¡¯s a very faint line of text and a cute round cartoon pattern in the corner.¡± Ade pointed to the (?¦Ø?) on the screen, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to use this console, can you figure out how to tap that cartoon pattern? Uh, keep tapping, I don¡¯t know how many taps you should do.¡± 0 Then Loran just kept pressing the buttons stupidly at his instigation, which looked a little awkward. If he had known it, he would have done it himself. Fortunately, after about thirty clicks, a new window popped up, and there were two lines of letters and numbers. The notes indicate that they are TurnA¡¯s password and TurnX¡¯s password. 0 ¡°TurnX ¡­¡± This is unexpected and reasonable. Ade wondered where TurnX had gone. 0 ¡°TurnX? There really is such a thing?!¡± Loran put up his palm to stop Ade from speaking, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this later, and you don¡¯t have to worry, Doctor. Diana and I still trust you. For now, let¡¯s try to see if we can turn TurnA off.¡± 0 After a long journey, the two returned to TurnA¡¯s warehouse. Loran put the Core Fighter back into TurnA¡¯s crotch, and then entered the password he had jotted down earlier. Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and then TurnA¡¯s main interface went black, and all the dashboards and lights went out with it. 0 ¡°It worked?¡± Loran tried to turn it on. No response. ¡°It seems to have really worked, the power is completely turned off.¡± 0 ¡°Great.¡± Ade followed with a long breath, ¡°At least that virus is locked inside, no need to worry about TurnA becoming a threat. Too bad I¡¯m not powerful enough to take it out.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s good enough, whether we have TurnA or not, at least, nothing uncontrollable has happened.¡± Loran was optimistic, ¡°Is Dr. Adrien available today? Diana and I would like to have a chat with you.¡± 0 Half an hour later, for the second time in his life, Ade dined with the Loran couple, and this time he remembered to inform Lacus that he would not be home for dinner in the evening. The dinner was carried out in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Loran was still very easy-going, and Diana still looked very cold, nothing unusual. After the meal, the main topic finally began. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, I¡¯m not going to ask anything about TurnX, and you don¡¯t have to explain anything.¡± said Loran sincerely, ¡°Everyone has their own secrets, and so do Diana and I. For example, our age and appearance. I¡¯m not going to tell you what¡¯s going on with our ages, but that doesn¡¯t stop you from having good feelings toward us. Likewise, the fact that you somehow learned TurnA or even TurnX doesn¡¯t stop Diana and me from showing kindness to you.¡± 0 ¡°What is important is that you have a sense of belonging to the Moon and to your home on the Moon, which is the basis of our mutual trust.¡± Diana took the rare initiative to speak up, ¡°Will you please, Doctor, be honest to tell me and Loran, do you really think the Moon is your home?¡± 0 Not expecting to encounter such a pointed question here. Ade bowed his head slightly and began to think. He didn¡¯t want to say yes hastily just to gain the trust of these two. Ghingham is an NT, he is the best lie detector. And it wasn¡¯t just the Loran couple who wanted to know the answer, he himself wanted to know the answer as well. Did he really think of the house on the moon as ¡°home¡±? Did he really see himself as part of ¡°this world¡±? 0 ¡°Yes, this is my home.¡± He looked up and said honestly. 0 When one arrives in an unfamiliar environment, one instinctively feels out of place, and one draws a clear line between the realm of ¡°I¡± and the realm of ¡°non-I¡±. Until a certain bond emerges, linking him and the environment, blurring the distinction between the familiar and unfamiliar, making him feel ¡°I¡¯m probably a member of this place too, right? 0 When did I start to feel that way? Ade wanted to laugh, but held back. He guesses that it should be since after that night with C.C., right? 0 ¡°I knew I could trust you.¡± Loran showed him a warm smile, ¡°I actually had the idea before, but Diana kept saying it was too early and not yet the right time. Since you¡¯ve now been forced to participate in the inner circle of the moon, I¡¯ll just ask you directly here. Dr. Adrien, do you want to flex your muscles on a bigger stage?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t quite understand, Your Highness Loran.¡± Is this a promotion for himself? Director to Minister? ¡°A bigger stage means ¡­¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s too bad your abilities are limited to Anaheim.¡± Loran darted a glance at Diana, who gave him an imperceptible nod, ¡°Do you want to join the Lunar government and hold an important position?¡± 0 ¡°Uh¡­ no.¡± CH 50 Chapter 50: Confession 0 Loran has probably never seen such an honest person, and many of his prepared words were blocked by this sentence. Diana couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh at her husband¡¯s dumbfounded look. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, don¡¯t refuse too soon.¡± The Queen persuaded, ¡°Loran must have his reasons for saying so, how about listening to him finish his words first before making a decision?¡± 0 Ade nodded gently. 0 ¡°Actually, Doctor, you may have misunderstood. As a researcher, your desire to avoid politics is understandable, but I don¡¯t mean for you to get involved in political struggles from now on.¡± Loran gave Diana a grateful look, ¡°First of all, regarding the matter of the moon losing TurnA, there are only five people in total, including you, who know about it. Whether for security or stability reasons, I would like you to join the core decision-making level of the Moon.¡± 0 Simply put, you know too much and must join the team. 0 ¡°Secondly, we really don¡¯t have absolute force deterrence today. Although others don¡¯t know, we must be prepared for it. Earth or PLANT, either side as long as there is a ruler who has lost his mind, we will become very passive. I¡¯m not worried about armaments, and there¡¯s little we can do with the Moon¡¯s resources. It¡¯s mainly diplomacy where we have to change some tactics and become more proactive.¡± 0 ¡°But wouldn¡¯t that be obvious?¡± Ade looked at Loran in disbelief, ¡°Isn¡¯t a sudden change in foreign policy just to attract people to guess the reason?¡± 0 ¡°Yes. That¡¯s why this can¡¯t be done by me and Diana. We need someone with a more neutral identity and less obvious political attributes to reach our strategic layout. This person preferably has a high social status and can be recognized for his initiative.¡± Loran gave Ade an apologetic expression, ¡°Doctor, as much as I hate to say it, the moon needs you to take the fall.¡± 0 ¡°Wait, wait, let me think.¡± Ade thought about Loran¡¯s words, ¡°It means that because I¡¯m a political rube, If I do it, people will only think that I¡¯m a nerd fooling around. But my social status was high and I was trusted, so it looks like the moon government has to let me mess around. Is that what you mean by taking the fall for the government?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Loran looked a little embarrassed, ¡°I know it¡¯s not good for you, but Diana and I have nothing better to do for now. We¡¯ll try to make it up to you as best we can.¡± 0 ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not so much aggravating, and this method sounds unexpectedly feasible.¡± Ade thought about it carefully, ¡°To outsiders, if they don¡¯t know about TurnA, they won¡¯t associate it with TurnA anyway.¡± 0 ¡°It would be best if you can understand, Doctor.¡± Loran breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°And the Lunar government, as you should know well, will never allow you to participate in the political struggles. Even your position in Anaheim can continue to be retained, and if you want to build MS, you can also continue to do it. Usually, you just need to show up from time to time, and you don¡¯t have to work in the government department. You just need to appear when we need you.¡± 0 That¡¯s a bit of a mess, but the moon was supposed to be the Loran couple¡¯s private property, and the couple could play whatever they wanted. And how come it always seems like Loran has my character well figured out? Isn¡¯t this condition too appetizing to my character? 0 ¡°How about it?¡± Loran looked at him expectantly, ¡°If you agree, you¡¯ll be the head of the Science and Technology Department starting tomorrow.¡± 0 ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Ade suspected he had misheard, ¡°Does the Ministry of the Science and Technology Department need to handle foreign affairs?¡± 0 ¡°But it¡¯s too strange for you to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Doctor, it¡¯s obvious to the discerning eye that something is wrong.¡± Loran smiled, ¡°And there are some things that can only be done in your capacity, and the Science and Technology Department is the most appropriate place to do it. You¡¯ll know the reason when you get your first assignment.¡± 0 This was the end of Loran¡¯s spiel, and then he waited for Ade¡¯s reply. To be honest, the pros and cons analysis made little sense, and it was clear that the risks outweighed the benefits. But does staying at Anaheim make him safe? Is everything he does profit-driven? Like the question Diana asked at the beginning, the key here is not what he gets out of it, but what he wants to do for himself. And he really quite likes this place, his home is here. 0 ¡°Please allow me to do my part for the moon.¡± Ade replied with relief, ¡°I¡¯m in.¡± 0 ¡°Excellent!¡± A bright smile appeared on Loran¡¯s face, making Ade slightly lost in thought, ¡°Then from tomorrow, you will be Minister Adrien, but that¡¯s so awkward, let¡¯s just call you Doctor. Since that¡¯s the case, we can move on to the next topic. Doctor, I wonder if Miss Lacus has any intention of getting involved in politics?¡± 0 ¡°What?¡± Ade looked uncertainly at Loran and then down to Diana, whose Majesty was still expressionless. 0 ¡°Miss Lacus is the one you brought back, Doctor. I will not overstep my bounds. If there is no such intention, then this topic will be put to rest.¡± Loran tried to read something from Ade¡¯s face, ¡°But if there is, we are willing to help her foster a Clyne faction collaborator within PLANT after the war, and we have some special information about Senator Aznable in our hands. Of course, as before, it will be done by you in your personal capacity. After all, your relationship is a very reasonable motive.¡± 0 Did Loran also know that Char had a problem? But thinking about Loran¡¯s actual age, at least he is at the same age as Lacus¡¯s father, it makes sense for him to know something. 0 ¡°I can go back and ask her if she has the will to do so.¡± Ade made an expression as natural as possible, ¡°But we don¡¯t have much of a relationship, huh?¡± 0 ¡°Oh, yeah?¡± Loran looked at him playfully, ¡°Then I suggest you get a grip, it would be very beneficial not only to the moon, but to Doctor yourself. Allow me to say one more thing, Miss Lacus is beautiful, sweet-voiced, capable, and a good cook. She is a good girl, and in my opinion a good match for you, Doctor.¡± 0 Ade remembered that Loran knew C.C. at a very early age, right? And he should also be generally aware of my relationship with C.C.. So what is the situation with this statement? Could it be that Lacus somehow won Loran over? 0 But it¡¯s brave to praise another woman like that in front of his wife. Diana expressionlessly looked at Loran, and Loran did not find the look. Ade laughed in his heart. 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°So you became an official?¡± C.C. looked at the person in the video with some surprise, ¡°I never thought that a guy like you can also become an official, the moon is really an incredible place.¡± 0 ¡°What do you mean by a guy like me?¡± Ade felt both funny and annoyed. ¡°Have you always had some kind of prejudice against my ability? And it doesn¡¯t require me to do anything, just show my face once a week. I¡¯m getting paid for not doing anything!¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t Loran a little too good for you?¡± C.C. looked at Ade teasingly, ¡°I remember you complimenting him on how ¡®pretty¡¯ he is? You finally couldn¡¯t resist your desire while I was away? Be careful Diana will find you in trouble.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, no kidding.¡± Ade laughed, then and took a deep breath, ¡°By the way, C.C., I have something very important that I have to explain to you ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Wait.¡± C.C. interrupted Ade, her expression suddenly became alert, ¡°Your room rearranged? You cleaned it yourself? The furnishings have also been changed? You¡¯ve become so diligent?¡± 0 ¡°I did a clean sweep.¡± Ade reflexively answered the question quickly, followed by a somewhat remorseful look, ¡°¡­ when will you come back? It¡¯s been so long.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know. Japan is in a lot of trouble right now, it may take some more days for me to solve it out.¡± C.C. surveyed the room behind Ade and didn¡¯t see anything unusual, ¡°But this matter is very important, and I will definitely finish it before I go back. I can protect myself, you don¡¯t have to worry. What were you going to say just now?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ nothing, let¡¯s talk about it next time.¡± 0 After talking for a while, C.C. hung up the video call. She always felt that something was wrong, but couldn¡¯t find it. She had rarely had this experience, and couldn¡¯t analyze the answer from her past experience. Feeling a bit irritated, she decided to go out for a short walk. 0 ¡°Ah, Miss C.C., good afternoon.¡± She met Shinn and Mayu, who greeted her politely. 0 She thought Shinn had just taken Mayu for a walk around the pier. C.C. stopped and nodded casually in return. 0 ¡°Miss C.C., we just met a very interesting couple!¡± Mayu seemed like she wanted to chat with her, ¡°There was a boy about the same age as my brother, well, maybe a little younger? A boy with black hair, who was also pushing his sister in a wheelchair. What a coincidence! But that brother and sister are a little more pathetic. His sister seems to be blind.¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the name?¡± C.C. drifted off a little. 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t ask around, I just heard them call each other brother and sister when I passed by.¡± Shinn looked at her with some confusion, ¡°Is it someone Miss C.C. knows? It might still be possible to go back now, they should still be in that area.¡± 0 ¡°From the description, they sound like the children of a pair of old acquaintances, I may have met them when the siblings were small.¡± C.C. then returned to normal, ¡°But that was many years ago. Never mind.¡± 0 ¡°Oh.¡± Shinn nodded even though he didn¡¯t understand what was going on, ¡°Well, Miss C.C., how long will it take us to get back? Stella¡­ she ¡­ you know that.¡± 0 Stella has been getting weaker and weaker because she stopped using the medication for a while, and now C.C. doesn¡¯t even need to send someone to keep an eye on her. Since two days ago, she has been falling into a coma for a few hours every day, and Shinn is very worried. The young girl may not last at this rate, and she must get advanced medical help. 0 C.C. thought carefully for a while and finally sighed, ¡°You guys go back to the moon first, I don¡¯t know how long it will take on my side. Driving Bule-eyes White Dragon back, it is impossible to buy a ticket for Stella if you take the Mass Driver.¡± 0 ¡°But what¡¯s Miss C.C. going to do after that?¡± Mayu was worried, ¡°Japan is not peaceful now either, is it?¡± 0 ¡°After that, I¡¯ll go straight to TOKYO-3, I know that place very well, I¡¯ve been there many times.¡± C.C. smiled at Mayu lightly. This little girl is genuinely worried for her, ¡°There is always a way to go back, I have a lot of experience in life on Earth, you do not need to worry. If you want, you can come back and pick me up later.¡± 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s get ready to leave in the next two days!¡± Shinn looked excited. He was spending longer and longer time with Stella recently, ¡°Uraki-san used to be in the regular army, I think he knows how to drive a spaceship, right? I learned a little in military school back then. As long as we can go back to the moon, Stella, Stella can definitely get well!¡± 0 Now that Ade has become a government official, he will be able to help Stella get the best treatment, right? C.C. thought about it and thought there was no problem. 0 ¡°By the way, I will tell Uraki the password of the ship later.¡± Uraki has sold his life for Ade, he should be the most reliable, ¡°You all should listen to his command.¡± 0 Asuka siblings understandably did not ask why. After a while, C.C. found Uraki, gave him an account of what had happened and arranged the next task for him, and told him that the password for the spaceship was ¨C 0 ¡°Paramecium.¡± 0 CH 51 Chapter 51: Your Friend Londo Bell Is Online 0 ¡°Mayu, let¡¯s just hurry to the hospital.¡± Shinn had a soulful look, ¡°We¡¯d better stay out of Adrien-san¡¯s family matters. It¡¯s not appropriate to offend anyone, right?¡± 0 Today is the day of Stella¡¯s organ replacement surgery. Due to the overuse of stimulant drugs, several of Stella¡¯s organs were in varying degrees of failure. After a period of observation and initial treatment, the group of experts finally discussed and came up with a comprehensive plan to replace some of the organs mainly, supplemented by a variety of other treatments. The entire plan is divided into multiple courses of treatment, and today¡¯s surgery is the highest risk one. 0 The cost of having the expert group and the treatment was astronomical for Asuka, which of course was paid by Ade. And in Stella¡¯s hospitalization, Shinn had to work during the week and it was mostly Lacus who was taking care of her. So Shinn had a good feeling toward Lacus and didn¡¯t want to offend both C.C. and Lacus. 0 ¡°Brother, I¡¯m so disappointed in you!¡± Mayu was righteously indignant, ¡°Miss C.C. has been so good to us, and you¡¯ve betrayed her right after coming back? Or are you actually envious of Mr. Ade? It¡¯s true that all men are bad, I didn¡¯t think that brother would be the same.¡± 0 ¡°Just let Adrien-san speak for himself! There¡¯s no need for us to take the initiative to choose sides.¡± Shinn was embarrassed by her sister speaking like that, ¡°And aren¡¯t you a fan of Lacus-sama?¡± 0 ¡°Clyne is also just an idol, and now this person is trying to destroy Miss C.C.¡¯s happiness, I¡¯m going to do what I have to do!¡± Mayu turned to the computer screen, ¡°Hmph, go out, brother, it¡¯s time for my appointment with Miss C.C.¡± 0 Shinn left Mayu¡¯s room at a loss, and after a while, C.C. appeared on the screen as promised. It seemed that it wasn¡¯t that convenient for her side to go online, and there was still a time difference between Earth and Moon, so this time it was Mayu who took the initiative to ask C.C. to make an appointment for a video call. 0 ¡°Mayu, did something happen to the moon?¡± C.C.¡¯s face was expressionless, ¡°You sounded very anxious, but Ade didn¡¯t contact me.¡± 0 ¡°Of course Mr. Ade will not contact Miss C.C., he is now ¡­¡± Mayu grunted indignantly, ¡°Miss C.C., Ade-san brought a woman home! He even let that woman stay in his house! That cheating cat is called Lacus Clyne, and she always appears with Mr. Ade, and always acts as if she is intimate with Ade-san! What a bully!¡± 0 ¡°Oh?¡± C.C. gently raised her eyebrows, then was silent for a moment, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Has Miss C.C. already noticed?¡± Mayu looked anxious, ¡°Do something quickly. My brother has been bought by that woman, and I think Uraki-san will fall soon.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you for your concern, but there is nothing to worry about.¡± C.C. smiled disdainfully with bewildered confidence, ¡°It seems that Ade was going to tell me the last time, but I accidentally interrupted him and he backed off. Humph, he still has a slight conscience.¡± 0 ¡°Ade-san is not at all self-conscious about his condition! Miss C.C., you have to keep an eye on him.¡± Mayu did not continue to dwell on the topic, ¡°Also, is TOKYO-3 on the map? I only found New Tokyo on the map, I thought I remembered wrong. Ade-san asked us where Miss C.C. is before and I did not answer him.¡± 0 ¡°Well, that name was abolished before the second capital move was announced, officially there is only New Tokyo now. Tokyo-3 is an internal name that has been abandoned and can¡¯t be searched, I¡¯m just used to calling it that.¡± C.C. thought for a moment, ¡°The official place name should be Hakone? Just tell Ade that when he asks.¡± 0 Several hours later, Shinn paced anxiously in circles outside the operating room, like a father waiting for the birth of his child. 0 ¡°Shinn, can you sit down?¡± Ade sat on the bench with Lacus beside him, ¡°You¡¯re making me so dizzy. Have faith in science, the doctor said the success rate is ninety-five percent. Stella will be fine.¡± 0 How he never thought that the pilot of Justice was Stella, and Shinn could pick her back up? It could only be explained by fate. He doesn¡¯t know how the Federation achieved it, Stella¡¯s violent mental fluctuations cause an NT-like effect that can be perceived by Ade, but the girl herself has no perception at all. Is this considered an artificial NT? Or do all people have the opportunity to evolve into NT, and the drug can somehow forcefully stimulate the process? 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t that still five percent? Mr. Adrien, will the doctor come out later with a sad face and say we¡¯ve done all we can, like in the TV show?¡± Shinn started thinking wildly, ¡°What if, what if ¡­¡± 0 ¡°This is a hospital, we¡¯re going to get kicked out if you keep doing that.¡± Ade turned her head to look at the other man, ¡°Kou, you tell Shinn to sit down. You can¡¯t mess around in a hospital just because you have privileges, the nurse lady over there has looked at us many times.¡± 0 ¡°Kou, hey ¡­¡± Uraki Kou said to himself in a voice that only he could hear while walking towards Asuka. Asuka didn¡¯t really want to mess up, but was just concerned, and was pressed back into his seat by Uraki without resistance. 0 ¡°We¡¯ve used the best doctors and the best equipment on the moon, Miss Stella will be fine.¡± Lacus spoke softly in reassurance, ¡°And although he didn¡¯t say it, Mr. Ade is also very worried about Stella. He¡¯s just equally worried about your mental condition, so you mustn¡¯t blame him for saying that about you.¡± 0 ¡°Ah, no, no, how could it be? I understand.¡± Shinn waved his hand in embarrassment, ¡°Mr. Adrien has contributed money and effort, I know all about it. I¡¯m sorry, Miss Lacus, I may have been too nervous and didn¡¯t take into account everyone¡¯s feelings.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, everyone understands how you feel too. Miss Stella is so cute, we all want her to get better.¡± Lacus said softly, ¡°You have to believe in the doctor and also in Miss Stella herself, she must want to appear healthy again as well.¡± 0 ¡°Thanks for reminding me, Miss Lacus, I¡¯m calming down a bit.¡± Asuka took two deep breaths, ¡°You¡¯re right, I have to trust Stella. She¡¯s still battling danger, I should be calm.¡± 0 ¡°Thanks,¡± Ade whispered to the young girl beside him and gave her a grateful look. 0 ¡°What are you saying, Ade-san?¡± Lacus spread a smile, ¡°It¡¯s what I should do.¡± 0 Mayu watched secretly from the sidelines. She looked at her brother, looked at Lacus, and then looked at Ade, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Lacus noticed Mayu¡¯s action and exchanged a look with her that all women understand. Ade was talking in a low voice to Uraki and was oblivious to this. 0 After waiting for another hour, the operation was finally completed and the chief surgeon came out of the operating room with a tired look on his face, ¡°Dr. Lingus, it was a pleasure. The patient is still very weak, now she needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit. Only up to two family members can follow me in.¡± 0 Ade whispered an apology to Lacus, eyes gesturing to Shinn, and the two followed the doctor to the intensive care unit. Ade used his money ability and privileges, so Stella was able to have a room all to herself. 0 ¡°Shinn, Shinn!¡± The Stella on the hospital bed was wearing a white hospital gown with a haggard face. Seeing the two enter, she seemed to be trying to raise her hand, but the anesthesia had not yet passed and the young girl looked anxious as she found her body not obeying. 0 ¡°Stella, I¡¯m here.¡± Shinn immediately went forward to hold the young girl¡¯s hand, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s worked, the doctor said you¡¯ll be fine.¡± 0 ¡°Shinn, I can¡¯t feel my hand. Will I die?¡± Stella was excited, ¡°I don¡¯t want to die, Shinn, I don¡¯t want to die.¡± 0 At this time, Ade could clearly sense Stella¡¯s presence, but did not understand what was the principle. He tried to use his spiritual power to appease the young girl, which he had tried before, and it was a little more difficult than simply sensing the object, which should be a higher-end application technique of the NT ability. Stella visibly calmed down under his reassurance. 0 ¡°Shinn, Shinn.¡± The young girl showed a pitiful expression, ¡°I can¡¯t feel my hands anymore, Stella can¡¯t feel you.¡± 0 Asuka stepped forward and rested his forehead against the young girl¡¯s, ¡°Feel it now, right? I¡¯m right here, Stella will be fine, I promise.¡± 0 Ade was gape-mouthed. What is this? Why are you so skilled? Shinn, what happened after you leave home for only one month? How come you suddenly became so romantic? 0 Ade could not stand it anymore. He gently patted Asuka¡¯s back and left the ward leaving the two alone. 0 The rest of the days was boring. Shinn went back to work as usual, and Uraki also resumed his post, Ade was usually happy to continue his MS research in Anaheim, only to show his face in the government department every week to show his presence, C.C. was still in Hakone and hadn¡¯t returned yet, but would also send an email to report her safety, not knowing what she was up to. 0 And the war seems to be far away from the moon people, a presence that only appears on the news, and everyone around them has no sense of tension. Zala¡¯s good fortune has finally run out, and ZAFT is stuck in Australia and can¡¯t get out. ZAFT is now in a passive defense, and anyone with eyes can see that a strategic retreat is only a matter of time. 0 But TITANS, taking advantage of this, is to expand its army and ask money from the Federation. The Earth Federation government should now be very headache, the Hymem faction has been too big ¨C all kinds of sponsorship of unknown origin had almost made the army having its independent economy. 0 ¡°The army does not spend the state¡¯s money¡±, what happened to the regimes in this kind of situation? History has proved it many times and we all know in our hearts. 0 ¡°Against this background, the Earth Federation government wants to create a force that is independent of the Hymem faction.¡± Loran handed Ade the information in his hand, ¡°To ensure that it is not infiltrated by Brigadier Hymem¡¯s forces, this force will be based in the universe, have financial allocations and organizational ties independent of the Federation¡¯s forces, and even have some autonomy in decision-making.¡± 0 ¡°A force with autonomous decision-making powers?¡± Ade flipped through the information in his hand, ¡°Has the TITANS threat gotten this grim?¡± 0 ¡°It shouldn¡¯t have come to that, but Britannia somehow kept a watching attitude from the beginning to the end, and the remaining forces of the Federation are no match for TITANS.¡± Loran shrugged helplessly, ¡°This force only has four cosmic battleships and a small number of MSs, but has three top ACEs, so it can be the best bargaining partner for we moon government.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s actually quite comical when you think about it.¡± The more Ade think about it, the funnier he felt, ¡°independent forces with autonomous decision-making power, this is entrusted with the important task of holding TITANS, right? But such a small number of troops with so many ACEs, that¡¯s too much combat power. Purely a waste of ACE resources in small-scale battles, and not enough soldiers to take part in large-scale wars.¡± 0 ¡°I understand that the Federation has the idea of self-help, but both desperate and fearful, and finally made such a freak.¡± Loran looked like snickering, ¡°At this critical juncture of self-help, guess what the Federation¡¯s top few big shots are doing?¡± 0 ¡°What for?¡± 0 ¡°A contest to see who can get the Orb Union¡¯s little princess into bed first.¡± Loran almost wrote the word ¡°disgusting¡± on his face, ¡°Rumor has it that the big shots are beating their chests with regret for let go of Lacus Clyne and vowing not to let Cagalli Yula Athha go this time, so Doctor, it¡¯s great for you to bring Miss Clyne back.¡± 0 Ade suddenly remembered what Lacus had told him before. The Federation really sucks, and it was only natural that a warlord like Hymem would be able to sit on top. He settled down not to think about this and continued to read the information at hand. 0 ¡°Just for the sake of these ACEs, it would be righteous for my personal visit there.¡± Ade looked at the information of several ¡°old acquaintances¡±, ¡°and I have dealt with some of these people, their characters are worthy of praise and they are worthy of negotiation, I can be sure of this.¡± 0 ¡°The commander of the unit is Colonel Bright Noa, who was recently promoted. But a colonel less than thirty years old? Ha, the Federation government is really in a dogfight.¡± Loran shook his head and continued, ¡°The main body of the force was reorganized from the former 13th Fleet, and the official name after the reorganization was¨C¡° 0 ¡°¨CLundo Bell.¡± Ade smiled faintly, ¡°Nice name.¡± 0 ¥í¥ó¥É?¥Ù¥ë£¬Londo Bell£¬Rondo Bell 0 Bright Noa CH 52 Chapter 52: Bright Noa 0 ¡°Our newly appointed Minister of Science and Technology, Adrien Lingus, is about to arrive in Akama this afternoon, lunar time, for a three-day visit. This is Minister Lingus¡¯ first trip since taking office and the first foreign visit received by the Londo Bell team since its inception. The visit will further advance the friendly relations between the Earth and Moon, especially in terms of mutual benefits in technology. Minister Lingus said earlier ¡­¡± 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t indicate anything, and Captain Creuset didn¡¯t get excited to say it.¡± Ade turned off the news, ¡°Why does this kind of report have to include dialogue from key people? Isn¡¯t it good to have only narrator descriptions?¡± 0 ¡°Uh, not vivid enough?¡± Uraki scratched his head, ¡°No picture?¡± 0 Ade wasn¡¯t expecting an answer from him, just complaining. The visit was a helping hand for both sides, only no one knew that the moon also needed this helping hand. The Moon showed high regard for Ade, with the older General Ghingham personally escorting in his battleship, in strict defense of anyone getting into trouble. 0 In fact, the most ideal situation for this negotiation is Londo Bell to send people to the moon, but after all, without any government endorsement, they can¡¯t go to another country¡¯s territory. So tentatively, Ade would go to their flagship in the daytime, and come back to his own ship in the night. 0 ¡°But General Ghingham would also come. His rank is equal to the commander-in-chief on Earth, right?¡± Uraki has lived on the moon for a period of time. He has had a concept of this level of character, ¡°It¡¯s impossible for us to get into troubles-¡° 0 ¡°Shut up, Kou!¡± Ade suddenly looked very agitated, ¡°This event is very dangerous, the hidden dangers are so great that we must take every step carefully, and the slightest inattentiveness would put us in danger! It¡¯s really scary!¡± 0 Uraki looked at the doctor blankly, wondering what mistake he had made. 0 Incidentally, Ade capriciously took Hyzenthlays with him, and he decisively chose the latter between not giving trouble to the leader and keeping his promise to Alice. 0 Sometime later, the warship from the moon side arrived at the agreed starfield. Ade and Uraki, along with a small entourage, traveled to Akama in a small shuttle. General Ghingham, of course, wouldn¡¯t go. No one on the opposite side is qualified to talk to him. 0 Ade had a natural fondness for the name Londo Bell, and somehow he always felt that in this messed up world, if he got into the fleet, he would live to see the grand finale. 0 But of course, this good feeling will not affect his judgment, he is here on behalf of the moon government, not to deliver Gundams to them as a Christmas gift package. If he really dared to do it, Loran will undoubtedly tear him apart with his hands. Maybe even worse. 0 Stepping off the shuttle, he looked up and saw a banner hanging above, ¡°A warm welcome to Dr. Lingus for his visit¡±. Although the banner is a bit sketchy, after all, Londo Bell is stationed in the universe, it¡¯s not easy to make it. It¡¯s a pity that the applauders on the left and right are all men in federal uniforms, not beautiful girls. 0 Ade obviously noticed that some soldiers looked at him with special excitement and clapped harder than the others, probably the same way Uraki did when he first met him. It seems that he has fans here? 0 He went to the front as the highest-ranking person on the moon side, and Colonel Bright Noa came forward to shake hands with him as the representative of Londo Bell. Although there were no reporters there, the two of them had to exchange pleasantries. After the pleasantries, with the captain accompanying, Minister Lingus started his tour of Akama. 0 Ade paid close attention to the hangar. Except for Amuro¡¯s Zeta Gundam, only a very small number of RGM-79GM ¢ós were seen, the others were all various models of RGM-79GM ¢òs. Considering that the moon is now changing its entire army to the RGM-89 Jegan he just designed, the MS resources Bright Noa has are simply miserable in comparison. 0 After the ceremonial things, he finally can be relieved. Ade thinks he is still not suitable to engage in this kind of thing. The next step was a talk with only the core staff. Bright with three ACEs under his command, Ade, Uraki, and Lucette Audevie went into the conference room. 0 Loran insisted that Ade get a working secretary, otherwise, it would be too inconvenient. Ade¡¯s first thought was actually Lacus, but her identity was too sensitive to be possible. Thinking about it, there are nothing particularly good candidates, and the secretary will not participate in any confidential matters, so he let Lucette Audevie do it. This girl helped Uraki block a bullet in the Stardust incident and luckily did not die. After Uraki came to the moon, he personally went to her home to say thank you. As for if there is something that happened later, that¡¯s something Ade doesn¡¯t know. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, please allow me to introduce you to these three. In fact, two of them are your acquaintances, and there is no need for me to introduce them.¡± Bright pointed to the third blond handsome man who Ade should ¡°not know¡±, ¡°Who is -¡° 0 ¡°Captain Mu La Flaga, the miracle of A Baoa Qu.¡± Ade offered his hand, ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about you, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t believe even Dr. Lingus knows me, it¡¯s me who should be honored to meet you.¡± Flaga smiled brightly and shook Ade¡¯s hand, looking serious, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the doctor to be younger than I thought.¡± 0 In the last A Baoa Qu battle of the One Year War, this man drove an Iron Ball and rushed into the battlefield, and shot down three Zakus. Although he utilized some tactics, it still earned him the reputation of being a miracle of A Baoa Qu. 0 Then Amuro greeted him briefly, but Ade could sense that he had something to say. Now was not the right time, and the two exchanged casual glances. 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the fated reunion to come so soon, we meet again, Dr. Adrien.¡± The last one looked pleased, ¡°Thank you for your recommendation to Captain Bright, the atmosphere of this unit is pleasant to the mind and body. Zeta is also a rare and great beauty, it¡¯s just a pity that she belongs to someone else.¡± 0 At those words, Ade couldn¡¯t help but sneak a look at Amuro, who made a helpless expression and smiled bitterly. 0 ¡°I¡¯m also glad to see you, Captain Graham Aker.¡± Ade shook Graham¡¯s hand as well, ¡°I think you¡¯ll probably have a kiss soon, if Captain Flaga is gentleman enough.¡± 0 ¡°Let me explain. Please have a seat, Doctor.¡± Bright let everyone take their seats one by one and began to explain, ¡°This time, Dr. Lingus from the Moon side invited us to cooperate in the research and development related to the application of psycho-frame on MS, and we are expected to build a Gundam-type MS as the pilot machine. Our Londo Bell team will fully provide multiple test pilots and all the test data needed, and the Lunar side, Dr. Lingus?¡± 0 ¡°Our side will sell this pilot machine to your side at cost.¡± Ade recited from a prepared script, ¡°We¡¯ll talk more later about the rest of the discounted sale of the mass-production MSs and the long-term plans for the future, but everything is based on the fact that we can work well together this time.¡± 0 ¡°Exactly, so that¡¯s the task for the three of you.¡± Bright nodded at the three ACEs, and Aker¡¯s two eyes seemed to be glowing, ¡°Please rest assured, Doctor, that Londo Bell comes with the utmost goodwill this time.¡± 0 That¡¯s right, all three are test pilots. It¡¯s not easy to have such a perfect opportunity, Ade chooses them all. 0 ¡°Dr. Adrien, I¡¯m not going to lie, we don¡¯t really have much choice.¡± Amuro sighed, ¡°In order to keep Londo Bell, we made a lot of exchanges, as you should know. But most importantly, TITANS also got the information on the psycho-frame, I¡¯m sorry.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not Captain Amuro¡¯s fault, after all, this unit is full of people Senior Hymem dislikes.¡± Flaga watched Amuro, ¡°Being sent to a place like this, not even have a decent MS, and expecting us to save the Federation? It¡¯s a miracle that even I can¡¯t perform.¡± 0 ¡°Factional struggle is sickening, thankfully there are trustworthy commanders and comrades here.¡± Aker paused, ¡°And Gundam.¡± 0 Bright didn¡¯t stop him, only made an ¡°oops, my children really naughty¡± expression to Ade. In fact, think about Bright also just under thirty, you can not expect him to be old and serious. 0 Now it is clear that the heads of the two forces are in talks, somehow it has become everyone together complaining TITANS. So it is impossible to negotiate when both sides have NTs, whether it is good or bad intentions, both sides know it clearly. Ade intends to resolutely refuse Amuro¡¯s attendance in the specific consultation process later, and he believes that Amuro can understand it. 0 In fact, the trip is almost over here today, the specific negotiations will start tomorrow. The main task today is to meet and get familiar with each other. But the few here obviously have no intention of stopping, and intend to keep the tea party going. Lucette poured a cup of tea for Ade, and by the way, took a cup for each of the people in the room. 0 ¡°By the way, the people here, including the captain and the doctor are familiar with each other, right? And only I am a new friend?¡± Flaga smiled, ¡°Doctor, you can just call me by my first name. My ears are getting calloused listening to Amuro and Aker talking about you and Gundam. But Doctor, you are really young! I can¡¯t believe it until I see it with my own eyes.¡± 0 ¡°Speaking of young, Colonel Bright is the youngest colonel, isn¡¯t he?¡± Ade smiled at Bright, ¡°As I recall, it never happened before since the Federation has been around.¡± 0 ¡°But not will never happen in the future.¡± Mu glanced at Bright and fearlessly took up the conversation, ¡°I¡¯d say Major Scirocco could probably be a Commodore by the Captain¡¯s age, right? And isn¡¯t the youngest colonel Kira Yamato?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t have a problem with Kira Yamato, but can Orb Union¡¯s over-the-hill rank count?¡± Aker looked serious, ¡°There is a more important issue, the pilot plane will carry a psycho-frame, so it will be assigned to Captain Amuro, right? Then who will drive Zeta after that? Captain Bright, do you have any plans?¡± 0 Bright let out a long sigh and looked like his heart was so tired. When the men are all problematic ACEs, to be the captain is actually very painful. The only relief is that Amuro is still relatively honest. 0 After chatting for a while, Bright invited Ade and his party to have dinner together in the canteen of Akama, and the day¡¯s journey was officially declared over. It is reasonable to say that at this time, Ade should go back to his ship. Just as Ade was about to get on the shuttle, Amuro suddenly called out to him, ¡°Doctor, please let me go with you.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I may mishear. Can you say it again?¡± 0 ¡°There¡¯s no time for jokes, Adrien! Your current condition-¡± Amuro¡¯s expression was serious as he reached out and tapped his forehead with his finger, ¡°is dangerous.¡± 0 CH 53 Chapter 53: Possibilities 0 Amuro followed Ade in silence to the moon side¡¯s ship. Bright seemed to have received the report in advance and did not intervene. After that, they went straight back to Ade¡¯s room, Amuro frowned and did not say a word from the beginning to the end. 0 After all these incidents, Ade still trusts his magic conch, no, NT radar, especially in the aspect of detecting malice. But he can¡¯t find a clue from Amuro¡¯s look. It doesn¡¯t make sense that Amuro is the only one who noticed the seriousness of the problem and he himself is not aware of it. In that case, there is only one possibility left, only one thing that Amuro can see and he can¡¯t see himself. 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m prepared for it.¡± Ade gave Amuro and himself a glass of water each, ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s wrong with me?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I think it¡¯s not the right time to compliment you on being too smart.¡± Amuro sighed, ¡°The conclusion is entirely my feelings and appalling speculation. Let me start with the process. It was you who first emailed me to ask if the range of my mental senses would be reduced by half after entering the Earth circle.¡± 0 ¡°You have already answered me, yes, it will shrink.¡± Ade remembered so well that he didn¡¯t even need to recall, ¡°But the specifics may vary from person to person, for example, for you it is to one-third of the original.¡± 0 ¡°Because our situation is different and I don¡¯t know the data of others, so I just speculated it. But in the course of dealing with TITANS this time, I asked Scirocco on a whim. He probably wanted to get a comparison as well, so he told me.¡± Amuro looked distractedly at his fingers tapping his water glass, ¡°His range was also one-third of the original.¡± 0 ¡°Coincidence doesn¡¯t tell the story unless there are more stats.¡± 0 ¡°Adrien, do you know the cause of this phenomenon?¡± Amuro looked up, ¡°I¡¯ve had an experience from Lalah ¨C she was hated on Earth, hated for being NT. Something indescribable made it impossible for her to see clearly on Earth, because it hated her so much. My powers are too weak to feel this, but I trust Lalah. Can you feel it?¡± 0 Ade remembered the strange experience of bursting into the atmosphere, and the illusion that someone was speaking to him then. Could it be what Lalah felt? 0 ¡°Only once.¡± He thought carefully about what the ¡°welcome back¡± meant, ¡°Maybe it didn¡¯t hate me that much?¡± 0 ¡°There¡¯s another possibility you haven¡¯t thought about, your NT abilities have gotten stronger, at an unnatural rate.¡± Amuro glanced in the direction of the bridge, ¡°I don¡¯t know how the other NT on the ship feels, but in my consciousness, you are more ¡®dazzling¡¯ compared to the last time we met.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m unconscious ¡­ you think this situation is dangerous?¡± Ade didn¡¯t know if Ghingham could have such senses, but he clearly didn¡¯t have a close relationship with Ghingham to talk about it. 0 ¡°Now you are both dazzling and unsettling. Forgive me for saying it, but it¡¯s almost like you could go supernova at any moment.¡± Amuro looked worried, ¡°All the NTs I know, me, Char, Scirocco, and even Lalah, are all rather twisted beings in personality. That¡¯s why we are extra sensitive, and become prone to extremes no matter what we love or hate, and one day we will destroy ourselves. This is why I used to be so pessimistic about NTs. I thought you were sane and could escape this destiny, but why it developed faster on you¡­¡± 0 Ade pondered for a moment, carefully recalling all his experiences since descending into the atmosphere so far, especially the most recent violent mood swing, and then rationalized to a conclusion he was very reluctant to admit. the NT ability still had side effects for him, even not small ones, and they worked in very strange but logical places. 0 ¡°Amuro, I¡¯m probably no different than you guys, I just have a different perspective of distorted sensitivity.¡± He weighed his words, ¡°You guys are sensitive to emotional factors, and I¡¯m sensitive to rational factors. I have an unusually distorted pursuit of rationality, and when it goes beyond my perception, my emotions fluctuate just as violently. This is probably originally my flaw, and the NT ability magnifies this flaw exponentially.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t really understand.¡± Amuro looked confused. 0 Ade hesitated for a moment, and made up his mind. Amuro was currently the one he could trust the most in this regard, ¡°Let you actually experience it, although the feeling doesn¡¯t seem to be very good.¡± 0 The two¡¯s consciousnesses began to touch, and he tried to share the distorted, violent, and several times magnified uneasiness that arises when his worldview is forcibly and drastically expanded. Destroy one¡¯s worldview is an emotionally shattering event even for a normal person, and what happens to an NT who is extraordinarily sensitive to it? 0 Amuro is right, NTs are sensitive people. The more sensitive people are, the more likely they are to be ruined by something like mental induction. Sensing human emotions or sensing the malice of the world, they are just destroyed in a different way. So the most perfect NT should not be any sensible person, but a heartless and extremely optimistic person. 0 The most dangerous time Ade had experienced before was probably when he found the virus in TurnA, and in retrospect, the state of that night may be similar to Kamille before he hit The-O with the plane. Luckily, that day Lacus keenly noticed that he was not in the right mood and he was finally pulled back by her. 0 He actually owes the young girl a big thank you, and he must not forget it when he returns to say it to her in person. 0 Resonance ended, Amuro was silent for a long time and did not speak a word. 0 ¡°As you feel, it is so.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°This is probably an irreconcilable conflict between me and the world, at least I can¡¯t think of a possible solution. By the way, can I quit be an NT? But I have received so many benefits, now quit is probably allowed, right?¡± 0 ¡°Aren¡¯t you being optimistic?¡± Amuro couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, but the smile lasted for a few seconds before dissipating, ¡°Adrien, I¡¯m a very timid person.¡± 0 ¡°Hmm?¡± Why are you saying this all of a sudden? 0 ¡°When I just got your Gundam, I was so timid to go into battle at all. Captain Bright even slapped me back then, and I also said something very humiliating.¡± Amuro showed a nostalgic look, ¡°I was still too timid and scared to go into the universe after Lalah¡¯s death. To be honest, the last time we met it was Hymem who forced me to go to the moon, and I had blamed you in my heart before.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know that.¡± 0 ¡°But I have nothing to regret after meeting you. Do you remember the last time we resonated? I felt inspired by you and became a little more courageous. I want to try to rebel against the NT¡¯s destiny and fight for a less tragic ending.¡± Amuro took a deep breath, ¡°I think you might be a bit of a coward like me. Of course, it may be a bit arrogant to say that, and I don¡¯t know exactly what you¡¯re facing, but I hope it will make you a bit more courageous as well.¡± 0 ¡°This time it¡¯s my turn to not understand.¡± 0 ¡°Want to see a live version of the White Devil¡¯s growth history?¡± Amuro continued the eye implication. 0 Another resonance ended, this time it was Ade¡¯s turn to be silent for a long time, but he finally took the initiative to speak, ¡°You are trying to tell me that sometimes don¡¯t think too much, thinking too much is not good for your physical and mental health. Is this what you mean?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not as smart as you, there is no way for me to find a reasonable explanation for everything. And you come from a scientific research background not having served in the military, it is your nature to pursue reasonableness and will not make unreasonable danger a part of your life like I do.¡± Amuro¡¯s voice was low and strong, ¡°This may sound sarcastic to you, but I hope you can find the courage to break your NT¡¯s fate. For you, for example, to realize a possibility that will be achieved even if your worldview is broken.¡± 0 ¡°But possibilities are uncontrollable things,¡± Ade tilted his head and let out a long breath, ¡°I hate it the most¡­¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°So thanks to Amuro Ray¡¯s contribution, and thanks to Brigadier Hymem¡¯s generosity, we found endless possibilities on Psycho Frame.¡± Guin Sard Rhineford forced his displeasure and pretended to look kindly at the middle-aged man before him, ¡°So Captain Franklin Bidan, would you like to join?¡± 0 ¡°But the cost of using this material for the entire frame is simply astronomical.¡± Bidan was nervous and drops of sweat could be faintly seen on his forehead. 0 ¡°Any problem that money can solve is not a problem, Blue Cosmos is funding this project with no upper limit, it¡¯s nothing for you to worry about.¡± Rhineford got a little impatient, ¡°What I see is the technical power you showed in Gundam¡¯s reverse design before, all other issues are not for you to consider.¡± 0 ¡°But it is different between redoing and reverse design, and the structure of Gundam is too complicated, not to mention that it¡¯s with a brand new frame.¡± Bidan looked very unconfident, ¡°I¡¯m not a master like Lingus, there is no way for me to design it alone-¡° 0 ¡°No one asked you to design it alone, you are just a member of the technical team, and there are many top experts of the Federation besides you.¡± If it wasn¡¯t for his son who was an NT, Rhineford would want to kick him out of this room right now, ¡°For the last time, I¡¯m asking you, do you want to join?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I¡¯m in.¡± 0 Rhineford waved his hand to indicate for Bidan to leave. He knew from the start that this man would say yes, which is why he dared to be so nonchalant. Bidan is now enchanted by a woman. For that woman, he can sell both himself and his son. The conditions he offered must not be refused. 0 ¡°I have done all as you ordered. So it will do, right?¡± Rhineford said to the corner of the room, where stood a blond man who seemed to just appear and also seemed to have always existed, ¡°I do not know what this is, but it is definitely not a machine to expand NT¡¯s possibilities.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s just a small gift to you all, you can use it for free, and I will not interfere at all. It¡¯s just that an ¡®old friend¡¯ of mine is particularly obsessed with things like Gundam, and I occasionally want to try it out.¡± The blond man stood far away, with no intention of approaching, ¡°You¡¯ve done a great job, and are the one I admire the most amongst all my collaborators, so please do keep up the good work.¡± 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t become a dog just to be praised by you.¡± Rhineford¡¯s voice was like a low growl, ¡°I only implore you to keep your promise.¡± 0 ¡°Your decades-long bitter love is appreciated, even I can¡¯t help but sigh. Pure and hot, deep and wonderful, this is love.¡± The blond man gave two self-absorbed claps, ¡°I assure you that your bitter love will be accomplished eventually. But unfortunately, now is not the time.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m at this age and Lola is still the same as he was back then.¡± Rhineford bowed his head feebly, ¡°I can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± 0 ¡°Age is not a problem for me, when the time comes, you will naturally know what I mean¨C¡± the blond man¡¯s voice ended abruptly, he smacked his lips in a voice that Rhineford could not hear, ¡± NewType ¡­¡± 0 ¡°What do you mean age isn¡¯t an issue?¡± Rhineford looked to him, ¡°Explain it.¡± 0 ¡°This is the end of today¡¯s conversation, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± After saying that, the man disappeared as if out of thin air, or maybe he wasn¡¯t in the room from the beginning. 0 A few minutes later, the door was pushed open again and Scirocco walked in. 0 ¡°Don Rhineford.¡± He surveyed the room suspiciously, ¡°Was there a guest in there just now?¡± CH 54 Chapter 54: Surprised or Not 0 Scirocco had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if someone had tried his hand at the edge of his perception and waved past where he was about to see but could not. But this is not scientific, even if the NT¡¯s ability is unable to do it, and he decisively treated it as a delusion. 0 ¡°Then Sir, as the biggest patron of TITANS, is there something you want to do by bypassing Brigadier Hymem and going directly to me?¡± Scirocco sat down across from Rhineford without condescension, ¡°I have to declare it first, I am loyal to Brigadier Hymem and I will relay everything that happens here to him afterward.¡± 0 ¡°Ha ha, Major Scirocco is trusted by the Brigadier, and in my mind, it is the same to seek the Major as to seek the Brigadier.¡± Rhineford picked up a stack of papers from his side and handed them to Scirocco, ¡°You might want to look at this first.¡± 0 Scirocco took the papers and began to look through them, the room passed several minutes in silence, ¡°The Brigadier gave you directly what he asked for from Amuro Ray ¡­ an MS that can expand the possibilities of New Type? Am I going to be the guinea pig?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t joke, how can we be so wasteful?¡± Rhineford took out another document and handed it out, on it was a teenager¡¯s profile, ¡°We¡¯ve already found the guinea pig, both in terms of NT quality and pilot quality are impeccable. What we need is your talent as a top developer, of course, if you are willing to give advice in the field of New Type, I would welcome it to the fullest.¡± 0 ¡°Is he Captain Bidan¡¯s son? Shameless man.¡± Scirocco sneered, ¡°I have no problem with that as long as Brigadier Hymem agrees, helping important patrons is part of TITANS¡¯ duty.¡± 0 ¡°Major Scirocco, as long as you give your nod, I will explain it to the Brigadier. At least this time, we can go ahead of the Moon, ahead of Anaheim, ahead of Lingus.¡± Rhineford relaxed after getting the promise, and his tone was much lighter, ¡°By the way, I wonder if you have seen the latest news? Britannia rejected the Orb Union government-in-exile¡¯s application for political asylum.¡± 0 ¡°Although the old emperor is old, he is not stupid and will not go through this muddy water. Even if he is really stupid, Schneizel is not stupid.¡± Scirocco put the information in his hand back on the low table in front of him, ¡°Yamato is not stupid neither. He knows that if he stays any longer, he will not be able to protect his wife, so he runs away quite fast.¡± 0 ¡°But there is no place for them even though the earth is big, right?¡± Rhineford casually leaned back on the sofa, ¡°Maybe the Federation¡¯s losers will finally get what they want this time? The last time Lacus was saved by Lingus, and the ¡®last last¡¯ time, they almost forced Princess Marina Ismail to commit suicide. The big shots can¡¯t afford to lose face so much.¡± 0 ¡°Can¡¯t they go to the sky?¡± Scirocco raised his eyebrows, ¡°Prince Loran is a decent person, and not afraid of the Federation¡¯s losers. Do we still want to go to war with the monsters on the moon for the disgusting desires of the losers?¡± 0 ¡°Ro¡­ Prince Loran.¡± Rhineford¡¯s body stiffened for a moment, ¡°Yes, the Prince is a decent person, a gentle and kind person. Unlike the losers of the Federation, he might accept political asylum.¡± 0 With Scirocco¡¯s keen intuition, it was immediately obvious that there was a big problem between Rhineford and Loran. But there was no need to say it, he just remembered this useful information silently. 0 ¡°Is there anything else?¡± He deliberately acted as if he couldn¡¯t wait to leave, ¡°Once again, I need to see Brigadier Hymem for a report on the content of the conversation just now.¡± 0 ¡°No problem, if it makes you comfortable.¡± Rhineford watched Scirocco get up and suddenly called out to him as he was about to walk to the door, ¡°Actually, Hymem is too old to do everything himself, as the Brigadier¡¯s right hand man, someone should take the initiative to carry more of the burden, right?¡± 0 Scirocco looked at him expressionlessly, did not reply, and left the room with big strides. 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, this Jegan is the latest achievement of you, right?¡± Bright pointed to Anaheim¡¯s latest catalog, which was part of the Moon side¡¯s goodwill, ¡°But there is no price or configuration. May I ask what the benefits are if we buy it?¡± 0 The Londo Bell team¡¯s budget is pitifully small, and the previously promised trial machine, even if it is sold to them at cost, it is a considerable expense. Therefore, Captain Bright must personally take care of the procurement of MSs, and try not to spend any unnecessary money. 0 Captain Bright is the youngest colonel in the Federation, and is in charge of military and financial affairs, and occasionally has to take care of internal affairs. Ade thinks he is obviously less than thirty but has an old face of forty, most likely because of worrying too much. 0 ¡°There are two different prices and configurations for Jegan.¡± Ade took out another promotional material to show, ¡°This is a brand new design that you have not seen. Spend less money, its configuration will be only equal to an RGM-79GM¢ò; spend more money, you can regard it as a half Gundam. There are a number of grades in between for you to choose freely. The body is also equipped with a number of universal external interfaces, and you can combinate it with dozens of different equipment. What¡¯s more, the difficulty of upgrading and modifying is extremely low. As long as you add money, the poor man¡¯s version will be immediately upgraded to the rich man¡¯s version, eliminating the cost of re-purchasing.¡± 0 Ade had wanted to design this upgradeable, easy to modify, once and for all MS for a long time. The Gundams he designed before was just for accumulating experience. Even Inle, to put it bluntly, is just the result of a heap of patents and money. Of course, there are many technical highlights, but the bill is the most important role in its design. And this time, he successfully designed Jegan, which even had a better performance than the Jegan he remembered, which made him feel cheerful. 0 ¡°Wonderful, wonderful.¡± Bright obviously understood what it meant. He nodded repeatedly, ¡°So, where can I buy it?¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, this is not for sale at the moment.¡± Ade put Jegan¡¯s pamphlet away silently, ¡°After a period of time, we will consider opening the purchase to partners with a good reputation on a priority basis.¡± 0 When the words came to this point, Bright understood and did not pursue the matter further. 0 Today is the last day of the visit, they have already set the schedule of cooperation in the first two days, and today¡¯s goal is to look ahead. In fact, the main thing is to advertise by Ade, telling Londo Bell that we have so many good things that can not be bought with money. By the way, let Bright again realize how poor they are, and he generated the idea to earn extra money by taking private work in the future. 0 As for if taking private work against military discipline? Of course, no one cares. If TITANS only receives money but did nothing, they won¡¯t have so many sponsors. 0 After lunch on Akama, Ade and his team will go back to the moon. They can probably even catch up with the dinner in the afternoon. 0 Amuro was still worried about him. Although Ade hated to process without a plan, this time there was really no choice for him. 0 Although Mu is quite easy-going, Ade still did not get acquainted with him in only two or three days. 0 And Uraki, at first he wanted to look for Graham¡¯s troubles because he crashed his V2, but in the end, they became good friends. In addition to Gundam, complaining about the Torrington base is also a common topic between them. Now when the time comes to part, the two are still a bit reluctant to leave. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, there¡¯s something I¡¯d like to trouble you with.¡± On the occasion of parting, Bright came over with a big pile of stuff, ¡°The Londo Bell team has a lot of fans of you, can you help to sign the poster?¡± 0 ¡°No problem, this is also something I want to do for everyone.¡± Ade took a closer look at the poster, ¡°Wait, my poster? And there are several other non-repeat ones?!¡± 0 ¡°Of course there are. They¡¯re from Anaheim, and their sales are very good in the army.¡± Uraki took it for granted, ¡°There are five regular editions and one limited edition. The limited edition is hard to find. Not to mention the posters, there¡¯s even ¨C uh, there are all kinds of stuff online.¡± 0 Ade signed on the posters with an overwhelmingly mixed feeling. He remembered that he seemed to have licensed his portrait rights to Anaheim, and he had some annual royalty income. But he had too many patents, copyrights, and so on, and had never looked at the details of each one of them. He didn¡¯t expect to have his own poster, and felt inexplicably ashamed. 0 On the way back, Ade looked at Uraki seriously in the cabin, ¡°Kou, I hope you tell the truth. Besides the poster, what else is on the Internet?¡± 0 Uraki looked around and scratched his ears for a long time, but he could not beat Ade¡¯s eyes and finally whispered, ¡°Doctor, you probably don¡¯t read manga, right? But do you know there is a manga type called MS Girl?¡± 0 ¡°¡­I know.¡± He has a very bad feeling. Very bad. 0 ¡°The earliest is RX-78-2 Gundam¡¯s MS Girl figure became hot, and later, almost all MSs have corresponding MS Girls. Everyone knows that there are a lot of MSs are designed by you. So, doctor, you and these MS Girls¡­ there are¡­ many¡­ ¡°Uraki closed his eyes and shouted, ¡°there are many r18 mangas about you and these MS girls.¡± 0 Ade almost spurted out blood after hearing this. 0 ¡°It¡¯s a very popular topic about the weak young designer and the MS Girls, but you have a good image in most of the mangas, doctor. I promise!¡± Uraki still closed his eyes, muttering to himself, ¡°The vast majority are pure love mangas, but occasionally, there will be NTR mangas about ZAFT¡¯s MS Boy interfere in and-¡° 0 ¡°Stop!¡± Ade held his chest tight and felt breathless, ¡°Enough! Do not say more, I do not need to know more details.¡± 0 The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkwardness and no one spoke after that. 0 Ghingham was afraid of further changes on the road, so he drove the ship at full speed, and soon arrived at the moon. After disembarking, Ade thanked Ghingham and sent Alice back to the hangar first, after which Uraki drove him home. He had planned to invite Uraki to dinner at home today, but he arrived home too early, and there was still a long time before dinner, so he gave up the plan. 0 Besides the need to report to Loran and Diana about the past few days, there was something else he needed to take care of. Cagalli offered political asylum to the lunar government, and after Loran accepted it, she and her party ran away overnight from the cosmic port of Britannia, and arrived at the moon in the early hours of that day, but haven¡¯t been received by any officials so far. 0 The Loran couple is inconvenient to come out personally, so they hope Ade contacts them on behalf of the lunar government. The external announcement is that Minister Lingus will take full charge of the contact with Orb Union, discussing the introduction of technical personnel and other matters. Although Loran has a kind heart, he is after all responsible for the moon, and he has the consciousness of being the ruler. Ade feels that he has been more and more like a foreign minister. 0 By the way, I said I would thank Lacus, should I buy a gift? Ade hesitated for a while and finally decided to give up. He simply did not know what to buy, so verbal thanks would be ok. 0 At this point, there was not much traffic on the road, and the way was unobstructed. Almost home, Ade keenly aware of a person seems to come out of his home then hurriedly left in another direction? Uraki¡¯s vision is not as good as his, so Uraki did not see it. 0 By the time the car drove to the front of the house, the person had already gone far away. Looking from the person¡¯s back, he is a thin male, brown hair, 1.7-meter tall ¡­Kira Yamato? 0 Nothing to panic about. He knows clearly about all kinds of Korean dramas. It must be a misunderstanding just like in these dramas. But somehow, his heart was beating fast, and he felt a little chest tightness. 0 After saying goodbye to Uraki, Ade opened the door and went in, there were clearly signs that someone had come into the living room. No, it should be signs that a guest is in the house. Nothing I should feel suspectable. 0 He looked at the living room for a moment, trying to reason out a conclusion that would be more favorable to him, when his bedroom door ¨C now Lacus¡¯s ¨C suddenly opened. Lacus came out of it and gave a surprised look when she saw him, ¡°Why are you back so early today?¡± 0 What do you mean? What do you mean ¡°so early¡±?! 0 At that moment, another person appeared at the door, ¡°Lacus, what¡¯s wrong? Ah, Dr. Lingus, you¡¯re back. I¡¯m so sorry to have come to disturb you without saying hello beforehand.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ hey?¡± He looked at Cagalli¡¯s sudden appearance and felt his smart brain stuck all of a sudden, ¡°Oh, hello ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Ade, I happen to have something to say.¡± Lacus pulled him to the side while whispering in a voice that only them two could hear, ¡°There are guests here, don¡¯t be dumb.¡± 0 ¡°But, you can¡¯t-¡° 0 ¡°I texted you this morning.¡± Lacus¡¯s voice sounded with a hint of joy, ¡°Your phone is out of power?¡± 0 ¡°Oh? Oh, yes, it is¡­¡± 0 ¡°Go wash your face.¡± The young girl pushed him into the bathroom and finally couldn¡¯t help but laugh happily, ¡°Your face is as dark as Prince Loran¡¯s~¡± CH 55 Chapter 55: Boiling a Frog in Warm Water 0 Today Lacus was in a surprisingly good mood for some reason, humming softly all the time while cooking dinner. Cagalli was curious and asked her what song she was humming and how she hadn¡¯t heard it before. 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t tell you.¡± Lacus looked in the direction of the living room with a smile in the corner of her eyes and put her index finger up in front of her mouth in a shushing motion, ¡°It¡¯s a little secret between Ade and me.¡± 0 ¡°You are so affectionate.¡± Cagalli looked envious, ¡°Kira won¡¯t even touch me ever since we escaped from the Torrington base. But I don¡¯t have a clue what I¡¯m doing wrong ¡­¡± 0 Lacus apparently saw the notice Loran sent, she took the opportunity to invite Kira and Cagalli to come to the house for dinner while Ade was home today. The one Ade bumped into before was Kira who happened to be sent out by Cagalli to go shopping. 0 Ade also generally understood her intentions, basically the ¡°lady diplomacy¡±. Ade was actually quite touched, and he was a little embarrassed by the misunderstanding, but her little thought seemed quite cute, so he didn¡¯t care about it. 0 Although it was Kira who lead the Orb Union government in exile, Kira is taking Cagalli as the center of his way of doing things. Ade can see it, and Lacus naturally know it more thoroughly. The result is that she has only met Cagalli for less than a day, they have already become bosom friends, and even Kira is not very wary of her. 0 If Ade went to complete the task alone, he didn¡¯t know how long it will take to achieve this effect. He secretly lamented that it was really convenient to have a Lacus at home. 0 ¡°Do not be polite, try the food.¡± Lacus folded her hands and made an expectant expression, ¡°Ade keeps praising my handicraft, I am always afraid that he is not telling the truth.¡± 0 ¡°Lacus, You¡¯re so good at everything, no wonder Dr. Lingus likes you so much.¡± Cagalli looked at the dishes, feeling a little frustrated, ¡°I can¡¯t do anything, I¡¯m just a burden, no wonder ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Kira, it¡¯s not a gentleman¡¯s job to make his beloved girl sad.¡± Lacus looked at Kira with a reproachful gaze, ¡°You have to learn that from Ade, he never makes me sad.¡± 0 Then Kira panicked and began to comfort Cagalli, without any reminder that he was once a general. 0 During the meal, from the beginning to the end is Lacus leads the conversation, controls the atmosphere, and Kira and Cagalli¡¯s moods are completely led by her. And Lacus has always praised Ade from time to time in the talk, and this is very satisfied with the vanity of man. Cagalli looks at Ade with a look of ¡°there is actually such a good man in the world¡± and ¡°Kira, you should learn from Mr. Adrien.¡± 0 Ade suddenly noticed that Lacus secretly changed her call to him. The reason why it took so long for him to find out this is because she called it so naturally, without any sense of contradiction. With Ade¡¯s knowledge of her, even after Cagalli and Kira went back, she will continue to call him ¡°Ade¡± rather than ¡°Ade-san¡±. 0 After the meal, Ade consciously and skillfully cleaned up the table. Lacus politely said that ¡°my Ade¡± actively wash dishes every day, and Cagalli showed her envy and jealousy. After that, they sat down and started talking, and Lacus began to lead the conversation to the main topic, intentionally or unintentionally. 0 ¡°Cagalli, you still want to restore Orb Union, right? I understand what it¡¯s like to be homeless, and if I hadn¡¯t met Ade, I wouldn¡¯t know what would have happened to me now.¡± Lacus made a sad expression while quietly holding Ade¡¯s hand under the table and squeezing it, ¡°Ade, you have such a good relationship with Prince Loran, can you help her?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but we can¡¯t help you to restore the country. The moon has always been not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.¡± He understood that Lacus was reminding him that it was time for him to ¡°play the bad cop¡±. ¡°The moon government is already under a lot of pressure to take you in, and the others you bring are at risk of repatriation. I am in charge of the science and technology department, we have a strict assessment criterion to employ scientific researchers. We can¡¯t retain everyone.¡± 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, many people have left our small group, and the rest who followed us all the way to the moon are very important partners.¡± Cagalli looked at him pitifully, ¡°Can¡¯t you think of a way, Doctor?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, Ade, the ones who followed Cagalli are loyal partners.¡± Lacus said the word loyal and squeezed his hand under the table again, ¡°Think about when you took me in. Help her, please?¡± 0 This should have been a hint to him that these people were too loyal to be put together, ¡°I can try to shove a few people into each of the different departments of Anaheim, but it¡¯s limited. I can¡¯t get involved elsewhere, after all, I¡¯m just a person in charge of doing things, and I don¡¯t have the capital to ask Your Highness Loran to do me more favor.¡± 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus.¡± Kira finally spoke up after listening for half a day, ¡°If we are willing to deliver Akatsuki Gundam to Anaheim, can you help more people to stay? There are some people who are really not technically talented, but they are really important to Cagalli.¡± 0 That¡¯s what I¡¯ve been waiting for! I was worried about how to say it, Commodore Yamato, you are so nice! Ade was about to reply when Lacus quietly pinched him again and gave him a veiled look, was this a way of telling him not to get ahead of himself? 0 ¡°His Highness accepted the two of you out of the goodness of his heart, asking for something like the newest MS is not our original intention and would also embarrass His Highness.¡± He mulled over Lacus¡¯s meaning and realized it¡¯s better not to push them too hard at first, ¡°If possible, you can lend Anaheim Akatsuki Gundam to research, and I will try to see if I can get some results. If I succeed, maybe I can ask His Highness Loran for more quota of people.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you very much!¡± Cagalli answered first, ¡°Thank you, Doctor! Thank you, Lacus!¡± 0 ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Doctor.¡± Kira bowed his head, ¡°Please help Cagalli, thank you.¡± 0 Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Lacus unobtrusively changed the topic to something else, and Cagalli and Kira¡¯s faces wore smiles again. After a while, she pulled Cagalli into the room, saying that there was some kind of girl¡¯s whisper. Before entering the room, she gave Ade a look and signaled Kira¡¯s side. 0 I always feel like I¡¯ve become a bad man. Ade thought helplessly. He was surprised that he could read Lacus¡¯s all kinds of eye hints. ¡°Get down of Kira with the inside news you know¡±, that should be what the girl meant. 0 ¡°Doctor, do you remember our talk the last time?¡± Before Ade organized his words, Kira asked, ¡°Our talk about Dr. Ulen Hibiki.¡± 0 ¡°Of course I remember.¡± He was a little surprised that Kira took the initiative to mention this. 0 ¡°Doctor, as a titan of science, I¡¯m not surprised that you know these secrets.¡± Kira suddenly bowed his head to him, ¡°I must thank you for not telling this out, otherwise, I don¡¯t know what will happen to Cagalli. I¡¯ve been on tenterhooks these days, afraid of waking up one day and seeing myself and Cagalli in the headlines, so I purposely distanced myself from her just in case she couldn¡¯t handle knowing the truth.¡± 0 ¡°I won¡¯t say anything, I don¡¯t have this kind of bad taste.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°You are also well-intentioned ¡­¡± 0 ¡°I hope you don¡¯t despise Cagalli, Doctor, she doesn¡¯t know anything. In fact, I also¨C¡± Kira looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped, ¡°There are some things that you wouldn¡¯t let happen if you knew beforehand, but there are also some things that must not be known since they have happened by mistake.¡± 0 ¡°This secret is what I saw in a very secret place, where it is no longer possible to go back, and I am the only one who knows it and did not tell any outsiders.¡± Lacus certainly isn¡¯t counted as an outsider, and Alice is not even considered as a human, ¡°Then, what are your future plans? Stay on the moon or try to take back Orb Union?¡± 0 ¡°I know I¡¯m not a politician, just a sharp sword.¡± Kira smiled to himself, ¡°All I want to do and can do now is to protect the people who matter most to me. Everything for Cagalli, that¡¯s all.¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t give other promises, but if Cagalli stays here, the moon is going to keep her safe as far as it can.¡± Ade promised, ¡°Of course, if she wants to go back, there is nothing I can do, and the moon government certainly will not stop her.¡± 0 ¡°That will be enough.¡± Kira stood up and bowed, ¡°Doctor, your kindness will not be forgotten by Cagalli and me.¡± 0 After a little more time, Lacus figured Ade was almost done and brought Cagalli out. Cagalli and Kira said goodbye and firmly declined Ade¡¯s offer to drive them back. As the guests left, the slightly crowded house was suddenly empty. For the first time, Ade wondered if the house was too small, maybe it should be replaced with a bigger one. 0 ¡°Did you get everything you wanted this time?¡± Lacus took the initiative to clean up the traces left by the guests and asked casually, ¡°You want to have Orb Union¡¯s MS for a long time, right? If I hadn¡¯t reminded you just now, you would almost have gotten carried away.¡± 0 ¡°Indeed.¡± Ade admitted honestly, ¡°But Cagalli, how did she become friends with you so quickly? How on earth did you do that?¡± 0 ¡°Because she and I do share the same fate, there is real emotion in acting to impress people.¡± The young lady sighed, ¡°She keeps saying she envies me, when in fact it¡¯s clearly me who should envy her.¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t know how to answer that, so he started to help clean the room. 0 ¡°By the way, it was a misunderstanding when you came back earlier, right?¡± Lacus stopped what she was doing and looked at him jokingly, ¡°Let me guess, you came back just in time to see Mr. Kira who was out shopping, and then the lines I said made you misunderstand even more?¡± 0 He nodded awkwardly. 0 ¡°Actually, I guessed it out the moment I saw you standing in the living room dazed, and I said that on purpose, just to see your reaction.¡± The young girl playfully blinked her big eyes, ¡°Jealous? The mouth says no, but the reaction is quite honest.¡± 0 This is the time to quickly change the subject. Ade remembered there is still an important thing not said, ¡°By the way, Lacus, thank you. Thank you for your song that night. You may not quite understand, but you probably saved my life.¡± 0 Hearing these words, the young girl who was a bit lively just now suddenly quieted down, not physically quiet, but with a shift in temperament. She slowly walked up to Ade, and her pale green pupils looked straight into Ade¡¯s eyes. 0 ¡°I just felt a sense of danger in you that night. You suddenly become ethereal, as if you were going to leave me, leaving this world. It was so nice to be able to help.¡± The young girl made a gentle sound, ¡°Ade also saved my life one, no, two times, I do not know if this is considered even, but I can finally look at you as an equal.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ So you just plan to fix this call like that?¡± The young girl¡¯s eyes looked calm and stressed, so he subconsciously changed the subject. 0 ¡°Yeah, it was not so fast according to the script that was written.¡± Lacus showed a faint smile, ¡°But the director couldn¡¯t resist giving me extra scenes seeing how hard I was working. So Ade, please let me capriciously call you that, ok?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ whatever you want.¡± He couldn¡¯t resist misplacing his gaze, cutting off the stare-off, and turning his side face toward the young girl, ¡°I was going to buy you a gift to express my gratitude, but I really don¡¯t know what to buy. You have been living here for a while, except for when you first arrived, you haven¡¯t bought much, is there anything you want now?¡± 0 ¡°Let me think ¡­¡± the voice rang in his ears, then something seemed so fast that he thought it was a delusion pecked on his face, ¡°There is no more I want.¡± 0 Akatsuki Gundam 0 CH 56 Chapter 56: The Greatest Hits of the World 0 The kind-hearted little princess Cagalli, in repayment for the moon government¡¯s kindness, lent Orb Union¡¯s newest MS, Akatsuki Gundam to Anaheim for research purposes indefinitely. In response to her act of kindness, the Lunar government issued temporary visas to all the personnel she brought with her and arranged for a variety of different jobs for them. Deeply moved, Cagalli eventually decided to let Kira join Anaheim as well, and told him to treat people with integrity and work well, and to try to create value in return to society soon. 0 Looking at the two young people who were so happy to be sold by them, Ade¡¯s mood was a bit complicated. Not only Cagalli, even Kira is unexpectedly naive. He acted mature when he talked to himself, but after entering Anaheim, he immediately showed his true form. 0 Now Kira is particularly close to Ade, and regarded Dr. Lingus as a very nice guy. He is also very enthusiastic about his work, and does everything he is asked to do. Thanks to him, Ade got a lot of precious data. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, all the items on the list have been completed, what should I do next, please?¡± Kira asked Ade from the cockpit of the prototype MS. 0 ¡°Activate your S.E.E.D and run another set, I need to compare data.¡± 0 ¡°Yes, Doctor.¡± Kira executed it immediately without saying a word. 0 His overly cooperative attitude made Ade puzzled ¨C he was taking a hold of Kira and being a little friendly to Kira, but not so much, right? After thinking about it for a long time, he still can¡¯t figure it out. He decided to ask Lacus later. 0 The only one who wasn¡¯t too happy was Shinn, because his position as Anaheim¡¯s strongest tester was taken away from him. 0 ¡°This is the data of the psycho who saved Freedom¡¯s pilot?¡± Shinn looked at the test results of Kira with a defiant face, ¡°I can accept Captain Ray¡¯s experience and technique, but this one, he is simply cheating by his perverted physical qualities!¡± 0 ¡°You can¡¯t say that, Shinn. You are also Coordinator, for Kou or Amuro, you are also cheating by your physical quality.¡± Ade felt that Shinn actually knew it, but he simply didn¡¯t like Kira, ¡°Kira Yamato is also a Coordinator, only he is more adjusted than you. And he was a general, right? Didn¡¯t you graduate from military school?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s because you didn¡¯t go to military school, Adrien-san, that you¡¯re confused by that title.¡± Shinn looked disdainful, ¡°The instructor of the military school said back then, Orb Union¡¯s military rank is issued for fun, don¡¯t take it too seriously. If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Mr. Uraki, he must also know it.¡± 0 ¡°Is there such a thing?¡± Ade remembered that he had heard similar remarks on Londo Bell, he didn¡¯t care much about this, ¡°Shinn, after he comes down, you can also go to do the tests.¡± 0 ¡°No problem.¡± Shinn looked unconvinced, ¡°My data will not be worse than his.¡± 0 Now Ade was busy with the NT-only machine that he had promised to design for Londo Bell. As for Akatsuki Gundam, he researched its mirror system that could reflect particle beams, which interested him most, and then tossed it aside. Its design has little value for him. This system is only immune to particle beams without I-field, and has zero resistance to all live weapons and particle streams with I-field (beam sword). 0 Once an MS is equipped with this system, it means that it can no longer be hit by live ammunition or beam saber. Unless live ammunition weapons are one day eliminated, its mirror can only be useful on some special occasions. Only a top-ranked ACE like Kira can drive Akatsuki, otherwise, even a barrel of cluster rockets can easily dynamite it. 0 About that NT-only MS, Ade directly takes Jegan as the basic model and modifies it. This is not because he is lazy or has any bad taste, but simply to verify whether Jegan¡¯s design has reached the strength envisaged, and by the way, makes an advertisement to Bright ¨C look, Jegan can really turn Gundam! Hurry up and pre-order it! 0 The development of beam pods went pretty smoothly, because Ade could do the live verification himself. After Scirocco and Char know that he is an NT, it¡¯s almost equal to the whole world knowing about it, so there is no need to hide it anymore. The only limit the beam pod has is the energy, which even has a higher energy consumption than the D.R.A.G.O.N system. The battery-powered MS can¡¯t afford to equip with too many beam pods. 0 ¡°Nuclear is good ¡­¡± Ade silently chanted. So many designs are limited by energy. Shinn can shoot down Freedom ¨C it¡¯s mostly because Athrun was shocked by F91¡¯s residual image function. Otherwise, with Freedom¡¯s nuclear power, it could have used reasonable tactics to buy time and wait for F91 to drain the battery itself ¨C the physical residual image and VSBR¡¯s energy consumption were terrible. 0 It¡¯s a pity that Dr. Minovsky died early, otherwise, he would have been able to get the small fusion furnace out with his natural talents. Ade had a feeling that the next technological breakthrough in energy would probably change the whole world¡¯s landscape. 0 The day passed quickly and the progress this day was very pleasing. The Gundam¡¯s fuselage is almost complete, he only needs to debug for the psycho-frame and beam pods, and it won¡¯t be long before we can call Amuro and the others over for live testing. 0 When he got home, Lacus was cooking dinner, Ade changed his clothes and washed his hands and started to set up the dishes skillfully. Recently, Lacus¡¯s cooking skills have improved very quickly. To be honest, it would be painful for him if he had to drink nutritional supplements or order take-out from tomorrow. 0 After the meal, Ade is usually in charge of cleaning up, and then the two of them usually chat for a while. Unlike C.C., who lies on the couch watching TV after dinner, Lacus rarely watches TV, she seems to have other interests, such as playing something on the computer. 0 ¡°By the way, there¡¯s a question I can¡¯t understand for a long time.¡± Ade, who had packed up the dishes, sat down opposite Lacus, ¡°Why does Kira Yamato trust me so much? It doesn¡¯t make sense. And he¡¯s naive for a while and mature for a while, I don¡¯t really get it.¡± 0 ¡°If you think about it, the naive one is the norm, and the mature one only shows up when it¡¯s about Cagalli.¡± Lacus gave a straightforward answer without thinking, ¡°According to what I know, Kira doesn¡¯t kill people on the battlefield, right? Whether it¡¯s kindness, childishness, or arrogance, at least, his moral sense is particularly strong. Once such a person has done something that goes against his moral values, the feedback of guilt will also be extraordinarily strong.¡± 0 ¡°So he was overwhelmed by guilt after knowing that Cagalli was his sister?¡± Ade followed her train of thought down the road, ¡°I¡¯m tantamount to affirming him and freeing him from his guilt?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s a little more complicated. He has the internal condemnation of social morality on the one hand, and the subjective sense of having to be responsible for Cagalli¡¯s life on the other, along with the fear of ruining the person closest to him.¡± Lacus thought for a rare moment, as if organizing her words, ¡°It is just my guess. He has actually been controlled by Cagalli. But Cagalli is a good, kind girl who wouldn¡¯t even realize that and just treats him as a mere lover, unable to help him de-stress.¡± 0 ¡°So with nowhere to vent this stress, he kept protecting himself with a ¡®protect Cagalli¡¯ shell until one day he couldn¡¯t take it anymore and broke down ¡­¡± Ade sighed, ¡°What a twisted love.¡± 0 ¡°You, as the only third party who knows the truth, affirmed his worldview and free him from the stress of impending collapse. If you wanted, he could have controlled him at that time by making some tactics, and that¡¯s what I hinted at you then.¡± Lacus smiled happily, ¡°But with Ade¡¯s emotional intelligence, you can¡¯t do such things.¡± 0 ¡°It can¡¯t be done even with enough emotional intelligence.¡± It¡¯s nothing to be ashamed of being despised by Lacus for his emotional intelligence, ¡°Don¡¯t have any strange expectations of a scholar.¡± 0 ¡°But Ade, you¡¯re relying too much on logical reasoning and NT radar, you¡¯ll lose out one day if this continues.¡± Lacus showed a worried expression, ¡°Have you thought about what to do if someone frames you without malice?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t the matter of framing me itself malicious?¡± He thought about it and didn¡¯t understand, ¡°If you don¡¯t have malicious intent, you¡¯re not trying to hurt me, right?¡± 0 ¡°That is not necessarily. For example, if a bad woman takes advantage of the weakness of your character, using you to help her achieve something that only benefits her, what can you know and do?¡± Lacus sighed seriously, ¡°I¡¯m really worried about what you¡¯re going to do when I go back to PLANT.¡± 0 Oh, right, as promised, Lacus is going back to PLANT. I¡¯m already used to her presence, sometimes I can¡¯t help but forget this fact ¡­ 0 Lacus looked at his slightly lost look, raised the corners of her mouth, and did not speak again. She got up and went to the room. A short while later, the girl came out with a stack of printouts, ¡°Now ZAFT has begun to withdraw its troops to the universe, its defeat is only a matter of time. So I also began to prepare. This is the result of my recent period.¡± 0 ¡°What is it? An action plan?¡± 0 ¡°Do unto others as they do unto you.¡± Lacus put a stack of printed paper in front of Ade, ¡°When Aznable first dealt with my father, it started with spreading rumors online, and when the coup finally took place, they made the rumors into actual charges, making everyone think that my father was really a traitor just like the rumors.¡± 0 ¡°Is this the rumor you wrote about Aznable?¡± He picked up the manuscript paper and flipped it over casually, it was densely packed with words, ¡°Is this what you¡¯ve been working on every day lately? This thickness¡­ it¡¯s almost a novel, right?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s processed according to the information provided by you, involving revenge, undercover, conspiracy, assassination, scandal, romance, and so on. Everyone likes to read this, right?¡± The young girl¡¯s expression was somewhat cold, ¡°I must let Aznable also taste the bitterness that my father has tasted.¡± 0 Ade can completely understand Lacus¡¯s feelings. He looked down at the young girl¡¯s masterpiece, only to see the title printed on the cover ¨C Char¡¯s Secret History. The novel is written in chapters, each chapter is not long, very easy to spread. In the expectant gaze of the young girl, he began to read from the first chapter. 0 At the beginning of the story, Char reminisces about his years with Garma Zabi at the cadet school, while tearfully plotting to kill Garma. As Garma is dying, he shouts to Char, ¡°I don¡¯t blame you,¡± and then the chapter ended at the point when Char is about to recall his reason for killing Garma. 0 ¡°The level of writing and chapter breaks are perfect! Readers¡¯ curiosity will be caught immediately just by reading the first chapter.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t wait to turn to the second chapter, ¡°but doesn¡¯t Aznable look like a positive character if you write so?¡± 0 ¡°No one will believe it if you say that he¡¯s a crazy murderer in the first chapter. First, you have to make the character believable.¡± Lacus was very pleased with Ade¡¯s reaction, ¡°Once people accept the character, it¡¯s up to me to make up whatever I want.¡± 0 He continued on, Char was portrayed as a vengeful avenger. After his father was killed, he lived along with his sister, and was bent on revenge despite his sister¡¯s discouragement. Finally, he changed his identity and joined the army to start his revenge plan. After killing Garma, he knew he could no longer go back, when he inadvertently found out that his beloved sister was in the Earth Federation camp and had an indescribable relationship with Amuro. That¡¯s when Char woke up to the fact that the one who he really loves is actually ¡­ 0 ¡°Wait, another brother-sister relationship?!¡± Ade patted his chest and almost choked to death, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it was Cagalli who you got the inspiration from.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The young girl smiled smugly, ¡°It would have been a much more raw personality change, thanks to Cagalli, her story inspires me a lot.¡± 0 After that, Char¡¯s character became twisted, and all the death of the Zabi family members were because of him in this novel. After the war, he did not hesitate to enter the political arena, just to completely eliminate the Zabi faction from within, so that revenge is complete. In fact, now that the Zabi faction has become the Aznable faction, his revenge has been accomplished. Nonetheless, his twisted desires could not be dissipated, and the painful Char used his secretary, Haman, as an object of releasing his unbridled anger. 0 ¡°Wow, this play, this depiction, this detail, this scale! I¡¯m still too naive!¡± Ade gulped and muttered to himself, ¡°I never expected you to understand so much.¡± 0 ¡°For the record, these are all made up to attract the eyes of the readers.¡± Lacus blushed, ¡°I copied them from the Internet, and none of them is my personal imagination. Ade, you must not misunderstand it and have some strange association.¡± 0 He nodded self-deceptively and continued to read. Even though Char¡¯s atrocity to Haman gradually escalated and became more and more excessive, he still began to feel unsatisfied, and after some struggle, he finally laid his clutches on ¨C 0 ¡°Mineva?!¡± Ade flipped through the back of the paper, and there was no more, ¡°Where¡¯s the next chapter? I want an update!¡± 0 CH 57 Chapter 57: Betrayal 0 ¡°That¡¯s too much!¡± Char closed the webpage and slapped the table with hatred, ¡°Even a hundred years later, as long as this novel is still existing, my reputation will not be rehabilitated. Haman, can¡¯t we block this novel on the Internet?¡± 0 ¡°The source address is not from ZAFT, and it¡¯s all spread privately, so it¡¯s almost impossible to block it. It¡¯s the same as when you frame up Clyne, and it won¡¯t work even set your own name as the forbidden word.¡± Haman put away her phone. She also just finished reading the latest chapter, ¡°It is spreading panic amongst people, do you have a clue who did it?¡± 0 ¡°It could be anyone. But the person actually knows these¡­ I¡¯m clueless.¡± Char looked a little grumpy, ¡°It even involved Mineva in! Inexcusable!¡± 0 Mineva was a little frightened by Char¡¯s appearance and held Haman¡¯s coat in fear. Haman patted Mineva¡¯s head and looked at the man in front of her with a complicated look. 0 ¡°Char, if, I mean if.¡± Haman asked, holding the last hope, ¡°What are you going to do if you get brought down by this ¡®rumor¡¯? What are Mineva and I going to do?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll leave PLANT and find another way, there must be a way out.¡± Char stood up and paced, not noticing that Haman¡¯s mental state was a little abnormal, ¡°You can take Mineva to the moon, telling Lingus everything, and then don¡¯t come back.¡± 0 ¡°But I can still keep trying, right?¡± Haman watched Char walk back and forth, her heart sinking more and more with his steps, ¡°Even if you¡¯re gone, Mineva is a girl of the Zabi family. I can inherit your political legacy in her name. I alone can continue to achieve our-¡° 0 ¡°How can you put Mineva in danger!¡± Char chided loudly, ¡°She must go to the moon, she must stay in the safest place.¡± 0 ¡°The so-called safest place is the side of a man you have only met a few times, that¡¯s how convinced you are that Lingus will not retaliate against Mineva.¡± Haman looked at Char in despair, ¡°Then let me tell you too, I am also so convinced that you will be brought down by the author of this novel.¡± 0 ¡°Can you explain that again, Haman?¡± Char was finally alerted, ¡°What do you mean?¡± 0 ¡°Miss Karn didn¡¯t mean anything else.¡± Zala pushed the door in, and Creuset followed closely behind him with a team of soliders, ¡°She believes you will be brought down by the author of this novel, and to prevent it, Miss Karn decided to come to the forefront herself. Aznable, you didn¡¯t notice me until I was at the door. It seems that your NT ability isn¡¯t that good.¡± 0 ¡°Zala, are you going to break the agreement?¡± Char looked at the soldiers and calmly walked in front of Mineva to shield her behind him, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can do what I can do.¡± 0 This wasn¡¯t normal, this was his base camp, and Zala had managed to bring in a team of soldiers without his permission. It could only mean one thing: there was a mole. 0 ¡°I never wanted to break the agreement. As long as I can get my revenge, whether you want me to take the blame or you want to be the Speaker, it¡¯s up to you. But I understand from Creuset that Genesis¡¯ goal seems to be the destruction of the Earth¡¯s ecosystem?¡± Zala gazed hideously into Char¡¯s eyes, ¡°Are you qualified to say something like violating the agreement?¡± 0 ¡°Please don¡¯t look at me with that fierce look, Senator Aznable.¡± Creuset waved his hand gracefully, ¡°There is no wall in the world that is impervious, and I am just hearing about it. Why don¡¯t you think about who you¡¯ve told about your plans?¡± 0 Creuset has said so much, and Char knew what he meant. He just didn¡¯t understand it. 0 ¡°As the only person who understands me, are you going to betray me?¡± Char turned his head sideways and let out a low, angry roar, ¡°Haman!¡± 0 ¡°The only one who understands you? Betrayal? Hahaha.¡± Haman burst out laughing as if she had heard something comical, ¡°I never betrayed you. You betrayed us first, didn¡¯t you?¡± 0 ¡°Do you believe in all that nonsense written-¡° 0 ¡°Is there any point in lying between NTs, Char?¡± Haman¡¯s voice turned cold, not at all the innocent and lovely look she had before, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I was so stupid. I didn¡¯t recognize that I was just a tool to you. I¡¯m afraid that in your mind, my importance is even inferior to Mineva and Lingus. You can try denying it with your sincerity.¡± 0 ¡°You are different.¡± Char searched hard for a reasonable explanation, ¡°You are also very important to me, but those two are more special.¡± 0 ¡°She is in fact your daughter, right?¡± Haman glanced covertly at Mineva behind him and Char¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°You know what¡¯s the most important thing when it comes to taking advantage of a female? It¡¯s making her think that you love her the most, but you¡¯re not doing that. Char, I can¡¯t even continue to fool myself.¡± 0 ¡°But we have a cause in common -¡° 0 ¡°Your cause, not ours. I was just your chosen babysitter¡­ No, the babysitter should be Lingus, and I was just a temporary chief bodyguard.¡± Haman laughed at herself, ¡°I can¡¯t believe you made me feel jealous of a man! You¡¯re a failure, Char.¡± 0 ¡°So for that, you betrayed?¡± Char looked at Zala, and then looked at her with hatred, ¡°Have you forgotten the secrets I told you? Do you know what you¡¯re doing?!¡± 0 ¡°I told you, it¡¯s not me who betrayed, it¡¯s you. I never believed in that Antarctic sea monster story, it was only you who I believed in.¡± Haman pulled Mineva toward her. Being pointed by guns, Char couldn¡¯t do anything, ¡°His Excellency, NT is prone to do impulsive things when betrayed, that¡¯s the conclusion you came to yourself, don¡¯t you remember?¡± 0 ¡°Senator Aznable got sick and couldn¡¯t work, and Miss Karn will take over his position.¡± Zala nodded to Haman, ¡°Our agreement is the same as before, but with a different executor.¡± 0 ¡°Mineva!¡± Char watched as Haman took Mineva out of the room and turned his head to Zala, ¡°Do you think my faction will obey Haman so easily?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help Miss Karn. After all, as a PLANT citizen, I don¡¯t want to see my homeland divided after my death.¡± Zala couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud when he saw Char¡¯s surprised look, ¡°Is that strange? After I did these, I don¡¯t expect that I can continue to live, along with my whole faction will fall apart. PLANT needs a new force. Don¡¯t look down on me, remember whose student I am.¡± 0 ¡°Where do you want to attack with Genesis?¡± Char quickly calmed down, ¡°The Federation headquarters?¡± 0 ¡°You are worthy to be Deikun¡¯s son.¡± Zala gave him an approving look, ¡°That was the plan, but thanks to Creuset¡¯s reminder, we first had to eliminate the target that posed the greatest threat to Genesis. That¡¯s right, there¡¯s no way the moon would allow PLANT to have such a super weapon. However, as long as we attack the moon¡¯s capital before they take out that ¡®monster¡¯, there won¡¯t be a problem. It¡¯s not just me, Miss Karn also thinks it¡¯s feasible.¡± 0 ¡°This building¡¯s communication has been cut off, so there¡¯s no need to do anything unnecessary.¡± Looking at Char, Creuset pleasantly reminded him, ¡°We all know about the secret communication between Lingus and you.¡± 0 Char sat back in his chair helplessly, struggling to find a way to break the situation. It was then that he realized how serious a matter it was to lose Haman. 0 ¡­ 0 Ade looked at the ¦Í Gundam and the beam pods flying around in the video and wondered if he was relying too much on Alice, not even exercising his spatial awareness much at all. But this is overwhelmingly dependent on talent, and the exercise can play an extremely limited role. He previously tried to operate six beam pods at the same time by himself, and it took him a long time to get used to, but Amuro seemed to become skilled in a while. 0 ¡°How about it, can you learn this movement mode?¡± He asked Alice out loud, ¡°Which is more useful? This or that video from Kira?¡± 0 ¡°Both are quite difficult to learn, and the movement patterns are very complicated. ¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded downhearted, ¡°Ade, am I not doing well enough? That¡¯s why Ade took these videos for me to learn? I will try harder. ¡° 0 Alice has grown up very quickly lately, talking in a more and more human way, but accordingly becoming more and more sensitive. For example, this time, he got a bunch of good things from Anaheim to help Alice upgrade, but Alice felt that he was disliking her bad performance. 0 ¡°How can it be! Alice is the best!¡± He has never coaxed any other girl in his life, only Alice, ¡°The D.R.A.G.O.N system and drones are easy to be attacked, so I¡¯m specifically looking for these videos, thinking that you may need them. You don¡¯t have to force yourself to learn. We can delete them all. I like the Alice at present most.¡± 0 ¡°No, don¡¯t delete them, I need them!¡± Alice at once braced herself up, ¡°Ade, I will learn from them and become more powerful! I will not let anyone hurt Ade!¡± 0 ¡°I believe in your learning ability, it will be no problem.¡± He remembered the old days and showed a nostalgic look, ¡°Do you remember when I just fished you out of Anaheim¡¯s patent warehouse? At that time, you couldn¡¯t even speak in the second person, and you could only call me by my first name. It hasn¡¯t really been that long since that time¡­¡± 0 ¡°I also like to call by Ade¡¯s name now.¡± Alice said happily, ¡°Whenever shouting Ade name, well, there is a feeling that we are connected? That¡¯s why I like Ade to call me by my name, too. I always feel that ¡®you¡¯ are a very ambiguous term of endearment and I don¡¯t like it.¡± 0 ¡°Then I¡¯ll try to call Alice by your first name more often.¡± He smiled, ¡°By the way, Amuro suggested that I should add a psycho-frame in the cockpit, the T-shaped thing I showed you last time. What do you think?¡± 0 ¡°So you¡¯re still planning to change the beam pods?¡± Alice became upset again, ¡°I can only do the music player.¡± 0 ¡°I will never equip beam pods on Inle. Alice is my only choice, I promise.¡± By the way, is Alice¡¯s mental age now raised or lowered? ¡°It¡¯s Amuro let me bring one just in case, saying that it might be able to save my life at the critical moment. Sigh, I have a very inauspicious feeling. With this thing, I¡¯m feeling I¡¯m going to push the falling satellite soon or later.¡± 0 ¡°I support Ade¡¯s decision!¡± Alice did not understand the second half of Ade¡¯s words, but she never dwelled on this, ¡°Has Miss Lacus back?¡± 0 ¡°No, you don¡¯t have to ask it every time.¡± Alice also always asked this kind of question when C.C. lived with him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will come to see you as long as I¡¯m free.¡± 0 ¡°Well, I believe Ade.¡± It¡¯s difficult to understand Alice¡¯s mood from her voice at present, ¡°It¡¯s time for Ade to go home again. Miss Lacus must be preparing for dinner. Ade, see you tomorrow. Oh no, I can¡¯t see you tomorrow, and I can¡¯t see you the day after tomorrow. It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll wait for Ade, Alice won¡¯t give Ade any trouble ¡­¡± 0 ¡°¡­ See you tomorrow.¡± He sighed with guilt, ¡°I¡¯ll see you tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I promise. I¡¯m leaving. Alice?¡± 0 ¡°Well, I¡¯ll see you tomorrow!¡± Alice said gleefully, ¡°I¡¯ll see you tomorrow, Ade!¡± 0 By the time he got home, Lacus had just made dinner and was setting the table. He washed his hands and sat down at the table. 0 ¡°Well, Lacus.¡± He hesitated for a moment before speaking, ¡°I might be a little late tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I¡¯ll let you know in advance if I can¡¯t make it back in time for dinner.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s okay, your work is the most important.¡± Lacus showed a smile, ¡°You can let me know if you need to. It¡¯s okay if you come back later.¡± 0 ¡°Well, thanks.¡± He nodded, having the feeling of being surrounded by guilt. 0 He didn¡¯t talk to Lacus much after dinner, and got into bed a little early. He read a book for a while, then he checked his email again after browsing Anaheim¡¯s tech forums. Alice and Lacus¡¯s problem was solved just by checking one of the emails, because the content of the email was too lurid. 0 ¡°ZAFT will use their Gamma Ray Burst Cannon to sneak attack on the moon capital. Time unknown.¡± 0 Ade tapped his head with some headache. Although Lacus doesn¡¯t know it, it seems that Genesis really exists, and it¡¯s going to shoot at the moon. It seems impossible to sleep tonight, and I hope Loran is still awake too. 0 It certainly wasn¡¯t his inside man at ZAFT, and he didn¡¯t even know why this person told him this, but the signature did lend credibility to the email ¨C the person one seat apart from you at the concert. 0 ¡°¡­Haman?¡± 0 CH 58 Chapter 58: The Tacit Agreement of Wise Men 0 Ade contacted Loran through Harry as fast as possible, fortunately, Loran and his wife were not doing any ¡°healthy activities¡± at this time, and ordered Harry to immediately bring Ade there. The five-member core group of the moon needed to have a meeting. 0 He changed clothes while waiting for Harry in the living room, thinking about the current situation. He had the most information, and he needed to consider countermeasures. 0 According to the contents of the e-mail, Haman does not want to see Genesis attack the moon but is unable to stop it, then either it was because Char¡¯s personality suddenly changed and went out of control, or something big had happened in PLANT. Considering Creuset as an unstable factor, the latter is more likely. But somehow, Haman is still able to move freely, and even trusted, otherwise, it would not be possible to send this e-mail to him. 0 On the moon side, they must destroy Genesis while not revealing Moonlight Butterfly¡¯s weakness, which means that they can not start a full-scale war. Once they were dragged into a full-scale war and let ZAFT find that they couldn¡¯t use TurnA, then everything will be screwed. They must find a logical reason to avoid Moonlight Butterfly. 0 The ideal situation should be to send a certain number ¨C this has to be judged by Loran ¨C of troops, demolishing Genesis as soon as possible, and then calmly issuing a statement, and perhaps taking some other measures. In short, they can¡¯t let others find the fact that they can¡¯t use TurnA at present. Frankly, since they have lost TurnA, every time the moon has been threatened, they have to do similar things. 0 ZAFT has recently strategically contracted back to the universe, relying on a few fortresses to resist the Federation army. If the moon side does not start a full-scale war, what can they do to destroy Genesis? Jegan or the Federation¡¯s RGM-79GM ¢ó? There are only very few options from the beginning. He has to participate in it. 0 ¡°Ade, are you going out at this late hour?¡± Lacus pushed out the door in her pajamas, ¡°Is it something very serious? You have a horrible expression.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re still awake?¡± He looked at the clock. It was almost twelve o¡¯clock, ¡°Well, do not rush to sleep, wait for me to contact you later. It¡¯s hard to say right now, but we¡¯re going to start moving as early as tonight.¡± 0 ¡°What exactly is it?¡± Lacus¡¯s expression also became serious, ¡°You can just say what you can reveal, I will not ask anything else.¡± 0 ¡°I received a credible tip that there is a Gamma Ray Burst Cannon called Genesis aiming at the moon and preparing for a direct ultra-long-range strike. The weapon¡¯s power can directly destroy the entire capital.¡± He felt Lacus had the right to know this, ¡°I¡¯m going to go find His Highness Loran and discuss countermeasures with him, Just wait for my notice.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ The moon¡¯s superweapon can¡¯t be used, right? It seems I guessed it from your face.¡± Lacus lowered her head, and her pretty pink hair hung down from her sides, ¡°Ade, you came back before with that look and said it was a problem that even you couldn¡¯t solve, and now you are having this look. There are too many clues.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re so smart.¡± Ade sighed, ¡°Too smart as a girl.¡± 0 ¡°Are you worried that girls who are too smart can¡¯t get married? I don¡¯t think so.¡± Lacus grudgingly smiled, but couldn¡¯t joke in this situation, ¡°Destroying a city remotely, that¡¯s what PLANT is doing now ¡­ Do we have a way to save ourselves? Runaway is not an option to me. Your side is the only place for me to stay.¡± 0 ¡°There must be a way, I will figure it out.¡± He gave the young girl, and also himself a pep talk, ¡°It was agreed long ago that I would protect you.¡± 0 Lacus locked eyes with him for a few seconds, then came forward and hugged him gently. The young girl¡¯s white pajamas are thin in the light, but Ade at the moment doesn¡¯t pay any attention to it, and just silently hugs her back. 0 A short time later, he came to Loran¡¯s residence in Harry¡¯s transport, the Queen couple and Ghingham are waiting in formal dress. He briefly described the information he had received and the conclusions he had previously pondered. 0 ¡°Diana and I trust your judgment completely, Doctor, and we will act on it as long as you think there is nothing wrong with this information.¡± Loran¡¯s expression was grim, ¡°We don¡¯t know when ZAFT will start firing, so it¡¯s best for us to move out immediately. It¡¯s okay for the moon to send troops, but according to the star map Miss Karn provided, there are also many troops guarding Genesis.¡± 0 ¡°So there has to be a veteran ACE like me to lead the way, kill the enemies, and blast that superweapon straight away.¡± Ghingham looked unusually excited, ¡°I haven¡¯t fought for decades, I¡¯m hungry and thirsty!¡± 0 ¡°Can your old bones still withstand the inertial force of MS?¡± Harry laughed disdainfully, ¡°Your Majesty, Your Highness, please let me join the battle.¡± 0 ¡°Harry, you should stay and protect the Queen and the Prince. You haven¡¯t touched any MS for decades, don¡¯t give me any trouble.¡± Ghingham refuted, ¡°This task is tough, I can only select veterans with the highest combat strength and loyalty.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ So I¡¯ll have to take the field myself.¡± Ade looked at Loran, who had a dismayed expression on his face, ¡°Your Highness, you should stop saying sorry, what¡¯s wrong with me having to protect my home? Besides, there¡¯s no reason to put Inle on the hangar at this life or death moment, right?¡± 0 ¡°I underestimated you, Dr. Adrien.¡± Loran had a complicated look, ¡°Although I really do not want you to risk your life, I know I can¡¯t be capricious at this critical moment.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, I will not stop you, I can feel your awareness.¡± Ghingham went to Ade and patted him hard on the shoulder, ¡°But your MS is too big, I¡¯m afraid my battleship can¡¯t load it. Do you want to fly there yourself?¡± 0 ¡°Just lend me some soliders. I have my own ship.¡± Ade thought of his own little freighter, ¡°My employees have no reason to go into battle.¡± 0 Next was Ghingham¡¯s home turf, and he made a battle plan on the spot and assigned Ade tasks. The group moved quickly after the meeting and was expected to strike this morning. Ade called Lacus to explain the outcome of the meeting, and by the time he got home, Lacus was dressed and waiting for him. 0 ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The young girl said firmly, ¡°I don¡¯t accept any other option. I refuse to wait at home silly, and also refuse to escape alone. If the ship is destroyed, we¡¯ll die together, if we succeed, we¡¯ll go home together.¡± 0 ¡°¨C¡° 0 ¡°The ship is safer than here. In case the battle fails, the chance of survival on the moon surface is zero, but the ship still has a slim chance of survival.¡± Lacus interrupted him before he could speak, ¡°There¡¯s no point in me escaping anywhere but beside you, and your ship could not be left in the care of an outsider, and I learned to pilot a warship. You can find excuses to stop me, and I will refute them all.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ You¡¯re quite intimidating now, not as cute as before.¡± He was defeated, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡± 0 ¡°Were I cute before? Like this?¡± The young girl immediately put on a playful smile, ¡°Right, I have left a message for Mr. Uraki, telling him to go to Earth tomorrow on business. Ade, you must think he is not a moon person but just an employee, so you don¡¯t want him to be rolled in, right? I have informed Shinn, and he will go to the ship right away. I have helped you make up a good reason to explain why we can¡¯t use Moonlight Butterfly this time. Mayu will leave with Mr. Uraki, so don¡¯t worry.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I haven¡¯t said anything yet.¡± 0 ¡°Is there anything that was done incorrectly?¡± Lacus tilted her head adorably, ¡°It¡¯s all my judgment based on what I know about Ade, there shouldn¡¯t be any mistakes.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s the problem. Why is it all right?¡± He let out a long breath, ¡°Am I so easy to be understood?¡± 0 ¡°Some time it¡¯s, and some time, I don¡¯t understand you at all.¡± The young girl gently holds his hands, ¡°for example, you are now very nervous. No matter how brave you are, you still feel the fear of death. This is a common feeling, and what I can do is to give you comfort and courage. It¡¯s a special situation today. You have a chance, and you can ask for anything from me. What do you want?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I want to hear you sing.¡± He said his truest thoughts, ¡°There is still a while before the gathering time, I can listen to several songs.¡± 0 ¡°Much like Ade¡¯s style. I guessed this request too, but I¡¯m not happy at all.¡± Lacus laughed helplessly, cleared her throat, and began to sing. 0 As the artificial sky just lit up, Ade and the others had set off in his ship. Its unique shape makes it very conspicuous among the crowd of ships, especially the huge components hanging asymmetrically on either side of the hull. 0 ¡°Ade, we are going to exchange communications. Are you really going to tell General Ghingham that this ship is called ¡®Blue-eyes White Dragon¡¯?¡± Lacus sat in the captain¡¯s seat, looking at him awkwardly, ¡°I have no problem with it, rather I have long been used to it. But General Ghingham will tell Prince Loran and the others when he gets back, right? Are you sure you want to let His Highness know about it too?¡± 0 Shinn pretended to look around at the scenery, and although he would have liked to give his opinion, he chose to stay out of the Doctor¡¯s family affairs. 0 ¡°Why do you all have such a strong opinion about this name? It¡¯s obviously quite appropriate. Shinn, do not play dumb. Your expression betrayed you.¡± Lacus¡¯s tease relieved everyone¡¯s nervousness, ¡°All the names I can think of are actually the same. Call it Magic Conch? Teletubbies? Iserlohn? ¨C¡° 0 ¡°Wouldn¡¯t the last one be normal?¡± Lacus asked in disbelief, ¡°I don¡¯t know what the allusion is, but it sounds like a good name. Wouldn¡¯t it be good to just use that?¡± (PS: Iserlohn Fortress. Japanese: ¥¤¥¼¥ë¥í©`¥óÒªÈû, a fortress in Legend of the Galactic Heroes) 0 ¡°Yeah, yeah, that¡¯s a good name.¡± Shinn seemed to want to complain for a long time, ¡°I also think it¡¯s a good name. Let¡¯s change the name to that, Mr. Adrien?¡± 0 ¡°¡­It¡¯s a very unlucky name.¡± sighed Ade, ¡°Forget about this for now, I¡¯ll think about it after we are back. Shinn, I¡¯ll talk to you now about the battle plan.¡± 0 ¡°Yes!¡± Shinn looked serious. 0 ¡°The exterior of Genesis is equipped with thick, fully-covered PS armor that is expected to resist the battleship¡¯s main cannon, so we must penetrate deep into the launch channel and place high explosives directly inside. And each launch of Genesis will severely damage its reflective mirror assembly, which will take several hours to replace. Our goal is to break into Genesis and destroy it after the first shot.¡± 0 ¡°After the first shot?¡± Shinn stared at him incredulously, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the first shot aimed at the moon? I thought we wouldn¡¯t be able to make it in time.¡± 0 ¡°From now on, Genesis will indeed launch at any time. If the first shot is aiming at the moon, we won¡¯t have time to react. But then it does not match the purpose of Haman¡¯s warning.¡± Ade said with great certainty, ¡°She is smart and will not do something meaningless. Since she provided this information, she would never let the first shot hit the moon. She would be responsible for buying us time.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to shoot directly at the moon on its first test firing.¡± Haman looked at Zala with a grim expression, ¡°Experiments at short to medium range don¡¯t tell the story, any slight error in sniping at this distance will be put into infinity. In case we miss the capital, we¡¯ll be instantly wiped out by a counterattack.¡± 0 ¡°It sounds reasonable.¡± Zala nodded, ¡°So, what¡¯s your advice?¡± 0 ¡°The first shot should be aiming at the Earth Federation¡¯s fleet. It¡¯s our rightful right.¡± Haman said nonchalantly, ¡°It will take a long time for the message to reach the moon side from the Earth Federation survivors, and by the time they react, we will have calibrated the second shot.¡± 0 ¡°Your Excellency, there is some truth in what Miss Karn says, but there are risks.¡± Creuset couldn¡¯t help but suggest, ¡°In case the moon gets the message soon¡­¡± 0 ¡°Speaker Zala will judge for himself.¡± Haman glanced at Creuset with an expressionless look, ¡°Whether to trust a superweapon that has never been test-fired, or the inefficiency of the Earth Federation¡¯s army.¡± 0 Zala was silent for a while and finally made a decision, ¡°As suggested by Miss Karn, adjust Genesis¡¯ first shot target to the Earth Federation army¡¯s main fleet.¡± 0 ¡°Then, Mr. Zala, I will take my leave.¡± Haman nodded her head to Zala in greeting and calmly walked out of the command room. As no one else was around, she muttered to herself in a low, inaudible voice, ¡°I have done my best, Adrien Lingus, let me see your determination.¡± CH 59 Chapter 59: My World 0 ¡°The operation will start as soon as we observe Genesis firing. The first stage is for us to cooperate with General Ghingham to tear a hole in the enemy¡¯s defense line while pushing the battle line towards Genesis.¡± Ade said to Shinn, ¡°This phase will mainly be Inle providing fire support and F91 awaiting orders.¡± 0 ¡°Understood.¡± 0 ¡°After breaking through the battle line, we can enter the second phase. The moon troops will provide fire cover and we will assault into the vicinity of Genesis with Gundams. We are expected to meet fierce resistance from the enemy at this time, and I will carry explosives to force my way into the interior of Genesis. Shinn, you are responsible for covering me and buying time.¡± 0 ¡°Is Adrien-san going to bring the explosives yourself?¡± Shinn glanced at Lacus, who also looked worried, ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous to carry high explosives on the battlefield! It¡¯s better for me to do it. F91 is more flexible and Inle can cover me.¡± 0 ¡°Only Inle has enough defense and space to carry explosives, there¡¯s no choice, this is the best option.¡± Ade smiled apologetically at Lacus, ¡°Let me play cool. Just once, huh?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll do whatever it takes to protect Adrien-san!¡± Shinn nodded vigorously, ¡°But are we the only two to break in?¡± 0 ¡°The lifeline of this operation is speed, everything must be done before Genesis¡¯s second shot is ready, so the last critical step can only be done by F91 and Inle. There may be a small number of Jegans supporting us, but don¡¯t expect too much.¡± Ade said in a deep voice, ¡°The above is the detailed plan for this operation, have you remembered all of it?¡± 0 ¡°Yes!¡± Shinn was still a little nervous, ¡°No problem!¡± 0 ¡°Ghingham gives such an important task to two civilians, he is too dark-hearted.¡± Ade pretended to be relaxed and patted Shinn¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just finish your duty, leave others to me.¡± 0 ¡°The entire army has thirty minutes remaining to arrive at the intended coordinates.¡± The soldier on the bridge began to broadcast, ¡°All MS pilots get on board.¡± 0 ¡°Let¡¯s go, Mr. Adrien.¡± Shinn closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer confusion inside, ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± 0 Ade smiled with some pride and followed Shinn towards the hangar. In the long corridor, the two heard something and looked back, only to see Lacus following behind. 0 ¡°Well, well, I¡¯ll go first!¡± Shinn scratched his head in embarrassment and turned around and flew away. 0 ¡°Ade¡­¡± Lacus slowly drifted to Ade, took a deep breath, and hugged him hard, ¡°You can only rely on yourself in the battle. I won¡¯t say anything extra at a time like this. Promise me, we will go home together.¡± 0 ¡°What are you saying? Finally, I can live a comfortable life with someone to cook and sing for me, I¡¯m not willing to die.¡± From the girl¡¯s slightly trembling body, he can feel her fear and anxiety. He hesitated for a moment, reaching out to gently stroke her long, silky hair, ¡°I am not bold, but always keep my word. Do you remember my almighty NT radar? I promise you, we¡¯ll go home together.¡± 0 Lacus just silently hugged him for another half minute, and when she let go of him, she felt for a moment that her chest was empty. The young girl looked up at him with a complex expression on her face, as if she was making some difficult decision. After a while, she finally made up her mind. 0 ¡°Ade, come back alive.¡± She quickly printed on his lips, ¡°We will continue the rest when you come back.¡± 0 After doing this, the young girl turned around and drifted off in the direction of the bridge without looking back. Ade looked at her back, stood silently for a moment, and turned to the hangar. 0 Changing clothes and coming to the hangar, he didn¡¯t see F91. Shinn should be waiting in the ejection position. Ade opened Hyzenthlays¡¯s door, and various displays and instrument panels came on. He sat up until he reached his seat, silently buckled himself in, and began the MS¡¯s self-check. 0 ¡°Alice.¡± He seemed to be talking to himself, ¡°Do you know a term called the drawbridge effect?¡± 0 ¡°No. Do you need me to search the internet right now?¡± Alice finally asked, ¡°Ade, you look serious and say nothing, I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± 0 ¡°Not necessary. I was just asking casually.¡± He checked the Hyzenthlays ammunition and energy, ¡°What choice do you think those inhabitants of the moon have? They live like NPCs, and can¡¯t even determine their own death. Not to mention them, even Loran and Diana are no exception. And I even have the heart to think about this, what a luxury worry.¡± 0 ¡°Ade, I don¡¯t quite understand.¡± 0 ¡°In this world, even if you don¡¯t look for trouble, there¡¯s always trouble for you. I always want to find an absolutely safe place to live for the rest of my life, and my first reaction to being chased is to go back to the moon and hide. Now, I¡¯m being blocked with a gun at my doorstep, and I suddenly realize that I was quite silly.¡± He sighed to himself, ¡°Shinn and Kou are both more aware of what to do than me, they¡¯ve been doing what protagonists should do, and I¡¯ve been standing around talking.¡± 0 ¡°Ade is great too.¡± Alice shouted defiantly, ¡°Ade saved Miss C.C., and also saved Miss Lacus, and everyone at the Torrington base.¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Alice, but Amuro was right. I do seem quite timid. The more pretentious and sensible a person is, the timider they are, and something like courage requires hot blood.¡± Self-examination completed, Hyzenthlays headed for the ejection position, ¡°But now, I really want to protect the moon, protect Lacus, protect the life of going home every day to have food to eat, to be happy to build Gundam. I began to feel that this world is really my world, and I began to hate these people who want to destroy my world.¡± 0 ¡°Ade is omnipotent to Alice.¡± Alice seemed to want to cheer him up, ¡°As long as Ade wants to, he can definitely do it, and Inle will not lose to the bad people.¡± 0 ¡°Attacking the enemy¡¯s lair alone is not the same as the Torrington naval battle. I¡¯m nervous now, my palms are slightly sweaty, my breathing and heart rate are on the high side, and I don¡¯t feel any heat.¡± Hyzenthlays fixed itself on the ejection rack, ¡°but I still feel a little narcissistically that I¡¯ve leaned a little closer to Shinn and Kou and become more courageous, and I¡¯m even thinking I can show off to Amuro the next time I see him.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I will protect Ade.¡± Alice¡¯s voice was very determined, ¡°No matter what happens, Alice will definitely protect Ade.¡± 0 ¡°Not true, Alice.¡± He chuckled softly, ¡°You are also an important part of my world, probably the most important part, so I want to protect Alice as well.¡± 0 ¡°Ade¡­?¡± 0 The row of green lights above the ejection rack lit up in sequence, and the departure clearance from the bridge crew came over the earpiece. 0 ¡°Adrien Lingus, Hyzenthlays, move out!¡± CH 60 Chapter 60: The Light of Destruction 0 Creuset stood behind Zala, looking at the big screen in the Genesis command center. This was the most difficult and important step on the road to his great dream. Behind his mask, his eyes were slightly twisted with excitement, and he tried hard to remain calm. 0 ¡°Creuset, can you be sure that the coordinates you provided are correct?¡± Zala asked without turning his head, ¡°The location you provided is behind the enemy¡¯s battle line, was this information gathered before Haman Karn gave her opinion?¡± 0 ¡°Your Excellency, you can always trust in my abilities.¡± Creuset lowered his head and said respectfully, ¡°I have been looking for the true location of the enemy¡¯s main force from early on, and this is why I was able to bring it out immediately when Miss Karn made the suggestion. I trust the source of this information very much.¡± 0 ¡°I have always trusted you, and you have never let me down.¡± Zala smiled reassuringly, ¡°Go about your business, I¡¯ll leave the safety of Genesis to you.¡± 0 ¡°Please rest assured, Your Excellency.¡± Creuset gave a salute to Zala and turned to leave the command center. 0 Jealousy, prejudice, arrogance, and greed, ambitious people are always the best actors, so some people would rather sell such confidential information to him for their own desires. 0 ¡°Ugly creatures ¡­ I was indeed right.¡± Creuset let out a low laugh, ¡°What do you want to do by destroying the ecology of the earth, Char Aznable? An excellent actor like you can¡¯t back out of the show yet.¡± 0 There are many versions of his script for the total annihilation of humanity, each very cool and wonderful, but all encountered the same problem ¨C how to wipe out the humans on the moon. But this problem will be solved today, and the plot can finally take a big step forward. 0 For this reason, Genesis could not afford to lose anyway, and Creuset chose to hold down the fort himself, using ZAFT¡¯s truly self-developed nuclear-powered Gundam. 0 ¡°I have that man¡¯s genes in me, there¡¯s no reason that I can¡¯t use the D.R.A.G.O.N system.¡± He looked at the MS in the hangar and hatefully muttered to himself, ¡°My will, Providence¡¯s will ¡­¡± 0 The Gundam in front of him was equipped with Neutron Jammer Canceller, and was eventually named Providence Gundam. It¡¯s a mimic of Freedom and Justice, and because the ZAFT MS Design Bureau likes the D.R.A.G.O.N. system of Freedom very much, they insanely equipped 12 beam pods on Providence Gundam. 0 The biggest highlight of Providence Gundam is the shield with a beam saber in the left hand, inspired by Hyzenthlays¡¯s battle in the naval battle of Torrington. But they can¡¯t copy Hyzenthlays¡¯s long-bladed rifle, so they just made a common one. In addition, the rifle in the right hand of Providence is basically a copy of Freedom¡¯s high-powered rifle ¡°Sirius¡±. 0 Under the ZAFT MS Design Bureau¡¯s ¡°remold¡± and ¡°I can¡¯t make it so I replaced it with a slightly worse one¡±, Providence Gundam¡¯s design is very subtly close to the original design. 0 If Dr. Lingus saw it, he would have said, ¡°Shame on you!¡± But the ZAFT MS Design Bureau is very satisfied with their work, and boasts to Speaker Zala. they feel that they are one step closer to Dr. Lingus. 0 Creuset piloted Providence Gundam to the outskirts of Genesis. He received a message from friendly forces that Genesis had been calibrated and started to recharge. 0 As time passed, the raging gamma rays inspired a dazzling glow of cosmic dust that converged on the tip of the magnificent creation through the reflection of mirrors. Here the rays are concentrated, collected, and illuminated until they break through a certain threshold and finally roar off into the distance with Death. 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Your Excellency Hymem, there is no need for you to go to the front line yourself.¡± Scirocco looked at the TITANS executives in the conference room, all of whom were his competitors, ¡°With such a large advantage today, it would be more than enough to leave it to us to obtain victory.¡± 0 The flagship, now carrying the old man Hymem and all of his men, was comfortably tucked away behind the battle lines. Scirocco felt that all these losers were waiting for the opportunity to step into the enemy¡¯s capital in the first place. 0 ¡°As the leader of the troops, if I also hide on Earth, what¡¯s the difference between us and the losers of the Federation army?¡± Hymem looked around his men and was greatly relieved, ¡°I must witness the death of PLANT with all of you, in the front line.¡± 0 It was not easy for Scirocco to be promoted to his current position. Although Hymem trusts him, he trusts these officers in front of him too. Scirocco doesn¡¯t know how long it will take for him to become the rightful heir to the organization. Moreover, even if he could defeat all these men, he couldn¡¯t really take charge of the power unless Hymem is dead. 0 ¡°I¡¯m going to join the battle.¡± His time is precious and there is no need to waste it on these losers. Not now, not ever, ¡°Excellency Hymem, everyone, excuse me.¡± 0 ¡°Major Scirocco, as an officer, always fights alongside the soldiers. It may seem risky, but he has never lost a single battle.¡± Hymem nodded to him in satisfaction, ¡°Go ahead, I look forward to seeing you in the rest of the war.¡± 0 Scirocco turned and left the conference room and went to the hangar. The-O was waiting for him there. He entered the cockpit and quickly left the flagship, heading at high speed to another starfield, where his own warship was located. As always, he did not wear a pilot¡¯s suit, because he never felt that anyone could hit him. 0 Scirocco repeatedly investigated Hymem¡¯s details and found no suspicious intelligence sources. In this case, the only value of the old man was the economic sources he held. 0 ¡°So you are no longer of value. Goodbye, losers.¡± A short period of time later, a palpitating sensation caused him to look back, and his eyes widened in shock, ¡°How could it be as horrible as this?!¡± 0 In the distance, TITANS¡¯s flagship and all the surrounding warships and MSs were easily torn apart by the gamma rays. Hymem and his subordinates were penetrated by the gamma rays, and their bodies began to expand and explode. The blinding light across the universe exploded with countless fireworks, looking absurd and bizarre in the silent cosmic background. 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Mr. Adrien, does General Ghingham have to go into battle himself at such an old age?¡± F91 floated silently next to Inle, ¡°Will his bones break after one maneuver?¡± 0 ¡°Kid, you didn¡¯t turn off your friendly channel, I heard you.¡± Ghingham¡¯s cold voice rang out, ¡°You¡¯re the one who graduated from military school and was explored by Lingus to Anaheim, right? Let¡¯s have a good exchange about ¡®what can cause a man¡¯s bones break¡¯ after we return this time.¡± 0 ¡°General! Sorry! I was wrong!¡± Shinn panicked and turned off the friendly channel, ¡°Adrien-san, am I going to be okay?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s pretty scary if Ghingham is our enemy, and nothing could be better if he is our friend.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but grin, ¡°Mayu and Stella are still waiting for you, get back alive and you will know it.¡± 0 ¡°Definitely.¡± Shinn didn¡¯t say anymore and started to stabilize his mindset. 0 A few moments later, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the dull cosmic background, stretching from a small dot that was barely visible to the end of the line of sight. 0 ¡°Here we go, Alice/Ade.¡± They said at the same time. 0 Providence Gundam CH 61 Chapter 61: Kill Stealer ACE 0 With the first shot of Genesis, the lunar forces that were roaming in the distance began to advance rapidly. The first shot, as Ade guessed, probably hit the Earth Federation army. If possible, he hopes that the Federation¡¯s chain of command is not completely paralyzed and commands them to fight back rather than retreat before the second shot of Genesis is ready. In that way, ZAFT¡¯s side would put much less pressure on the Lunar forces. 0 Of course, this is ideal, and everyone had better be prepared for something less than ideal. 0 Inle advanced with Jegans until they heard Ghingham¡¯s order and stopped. This distance was well out of the opponent¡¯s attack range, but already within the attack range of Inle¡¯s main gun. The other side should have also discovered the lunar troops and started to approach slowly. 0 ¡°Lingus, I¡¯ll leave the first snipe to you.¡± Ghingham¡¯s voice rang out in the friendly channel, ¡°All troops, prepare for the enemy¡¯s surprise attack after sniping. Kid, you protect Inle and let him focus on sniping.¡± 0 ¡°Yes Sir!¡± 0 The end of the field of his view is dense with MSs. Ade took a deep breath and began to aim. He chose the densest location of MSs, estimated the distance between the two sides, the spacing of enemy MSs, and the range of Inle¡¯s cannon, and then gently pulled the trigger. A blinding stream of high-energy particles instantly illuminated the space, exploding into a trail of fireworks wherever it went. 0 Faced with this kind of firepower and range, the only right thing to do is to push forward with the life of pilots. The opposing commander obviously understood this, and the MSs advanced at full speed towards this side, and it didn¡¯t take long for the two sides to enter the attack range. Ghingham drove his top-of-the-line Jagan, and every shot of his attack could destroy an MS. The enemy¡¯s side was surprisingly devoid of ACE, and no one was able to stop Ghingham. Relied on the performance gap of MSs and Ghingham¡¯s activity, the lunar forces gained a brief local advantage. 0 Ade didn¡¯t have to think about this. All he had to do was to use Inle¡¯s high output to try to weaken the enemy¡¯s numerical advantage. He left his side completely in the hands of his teammates and fired two more shots before the two sides entered the close battle range, but the enemy MSs had scattered alertly, so the effect of the two shots was not as good as the first shot. 0 What followed was tense and boring, as he navigated the battlefield with full attention, looking for enemies in his field of view that were alone or clumped together, and sniping them off. Occasionally, a few MSs would be able to rush up to Inle and being quickly destroyed by Shinn. 0 ¡°Shinn, do you think the number of hits went up too fast?¡± Ade spoke to Shinn in his free time while waiting for the cooldown of the cannon. 0 ¡°Adrien-san, it¡¯s a good thing you¡¯re not a trooper, or you¡¯d get ostracized.¡± Shinn only had to protect Inle, so his task was the most leisurely, ¡°The instructor said that this behavior is called ¡®kill steal¡¯, the biggest obstacle blocking everyone from becoming the next ACE.¡± 0 Ade did not know how to answer, simply closed his mouth. 0 Relying on Inle¡¯s nearly unlimited energy supply and the continuous ultra-long-range attacks, the number of enemies in the engagement area continued to decrease. The battle line continued to advance in the direction of the target, and Genesis could already be vaguely seen at the end of the visual field. The Earth Federation side seemed to be organizing an effective counterattack, and the pressure on this side did not suddenly skyrocket. 0 ¡°Lingus, well done, it¡¯s time for phase two.¡± Ghingham¡¯s voice was still powerful, not showing any fatigue, ¡°Kid, don¡¯t drop the ball for me!¡± 0 ¡°Yes!¡± Shinn was frightened. 0 Ade detached himself from the sniper state, exhaled the foul air from his lungs, and moved his somewhat stiff wrists, ¡°Shinn, it¡¯s going to be fast, keep up.¡± 0 Fieber¡¯s thrusters turned on, Inle transformed and looked like a small, slender warship from a distance. Ade proceeded at high speed along the path he and his friends had cleared, with F91 following close behind. The enemy forces in the distance concentrated their fire towards Inle in an attempt to organize a breakthrough, Ade drifted to avoid their attacks, while firing back with precision. Several Zakus exploded in his view. 0 The duo quickly flew past the main battlefield, and Genesis gradually grew larger in the field of view, and the density of enemies around them gradually became sparse. 0 ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any more reinforcements?¡± Shinn made a surprised sound, ¡°It seems that the enemy¡¯s ACEs are all on that battle line, what luck.¡± 0 ¡°You had to say that, didn¡¯t you?¡± Ade¡¯s mind suddenly flashed with alarm as Alice¡¯s prompt rang out almost simultaneously, ¡°Shinn, get out of the way!¡± 0 Shinn executed his command without hesitation, Inle and F91 pulled away at high speed to both sides, and a one-meter-thick particle torrent passed through the middle of the two. 0 ¡°Freedom Meteor?¡± Ade smacked his lips, the feeling of being hit by something he himself made was really unpleasant, ¡°It¡¯s a pain in the ass to fight it. Time is running out, let¡¯s try to make it quick.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s this guy again! It¡¯s all Yamato¡¯s fault.¡± Shinn looked at the approaching Freedom Gundam in the distance and razzed, ¡°Let me deal with it. Mr. Adrien, you go first.¡± 0 Ade looked at the Genesis in the distance. He could vaguely see small dots moving on the surface, they should be the MSs in the process of changing lenses. He hesitated for a second, then flew forward, ¡°Leave it to you, Shinn!¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s nothing more than defeating him once more.¡± Shinn dodged another cannon shot and unfolded his beam shield to burst towards Freedom, ¡°Does the pilot on the other side remember me?¡± 0 ¡°That Gundam the last time? As I guessed, it¡¯s made by Lingus.¡± Athrun was very reluctant to stop in place, but he didn¡¯t dare to chase after Inle against F91¡¯s attacks, ¡°I¡¯ve seen through your moves. I won¡¯t be defeated by the same trick twice.¡± 0 ¡°So it¡¯s true that you will respond to the chat! I thought Mr. Adrien was joking.¡± 0 ¡°Are you making a fool of me?¡± Athrun was angry, ¡°You¡¯re the Moon Force, right? Why are you fighting without declaring war?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you have any guesses in your mind?¡± The opponent¡¯s accuracy was only average compared to Mr. Adrien, and even worse when chatting. Its only advantage was its guns. Shinn talked while lifting the shield, flying closer to Freedom. It would be a waste of energy to shoot against this kind of armor, ¡°Did you not think about what the moon would do when you built that kind of thing?¡± 0 ¡°No matter what we did, you should not attack our territory directly like this!¡± It was dangerous to be drawn closer by that strange Gundam, so Athrun kept moving while trying to increase the frequency of his attacks, ¡°This is aggression!¡± 0 ¡°Look at you, a country that exterminated Orb Union and built a superweapon that can wipe out a city in one shot. Are you qualified to say such things? Are you really stupid or have you been brainwashed?¡± Although Shinn was taught to do more trash talks when facing ACE, he was really pissed off at this time. ¡°Are all of ZAFT¡¯s ACEs with your kind of intelligence?¡± 0 ¡°People like you don¡¯t understand the greatness of Mr. Aznable!¡± Athrun said righteously, ¡°I am for-¡° 0 ¡°Oh, you are brainwashed, and I have nothing to talk about with the brainwashed.¡± Shinn decisively turned off the public channel. This distance is enough, and under Mr. Adrien¡¯s intense scientific training, he has been able to control his S.E.E.D ability, ¡°Go to hell.¡± 0 F91¡¯s mask opened, the heat sink on the shoulder extended, and F91 moved at an incredibly high speed, so fast that only a trail of afterimages could be seen. 0 ¡°Again?¡± Athrun was alerted, the last failure was still fresh in his mind. He gritted his teeth and fired all the cannons on Freedom Meteor at the same time, and for a while, the universe became colorful by the various beams. 0 ¡°Are you dreaming? Can you hit me?¡± In his S.E.E.D state, Shinn manipulated F91 in the beam storm, and the various beams can only hit the residual images behind. This feature of F91 is simply a nightmare to anyone who wants to shoot him. 0 Freedom Meteor¡¯s armor was so thick that he needed a very close range. After dodging Freedom Meteor¡¯s huge beam saber once, Shinn finally touched Freedom Meteor from behind with a dive acceleration. 0 ¡°What?¡± F91 suddenly disappeared from his view, and Athrun felt bad at once. It was already too late to turn around, and he directly tried to disarm Meteor from Freedom. 0 ¡°It¡¯s too slow!¡± Both VSBRs were adjusted to F91¡¯s waist, and Shinn pressed the muzzle directly against the Meteor¡¯s tail interface. ¡°Feel the skill I learned from Uraki-san!¡± 0 Two shots of VSBR in the highest power mode penetrated the armor at zero distance, and F91 jerked backward a bit to avoid the explosion. The whole Meteor was torn apart directly by the tremendous power. Shinn deliberately angled the shot at Freedom Gundam, and along with it, the entire lower half of Freedom¡¯s fuselage was directly destroyed. 0 ¡°Oh, run out of energy. It would be perfect if it doesn¡¯t consume so much energy.¡± The long high-speed flying state and the last two cannons almost bottomed out F91¡¯s energy. F91 flew next to the wreckage of Freedom Gundam, and Shinn was surprised to find, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I didn¡¯t blow up the cockpit?¡± 0 Now I have to return to replenish energy, and I can have to leave the rest to Mr. Adrien. Shinn thought about it and dug out Freedom¡¯s cockpit, heading in the direction of friendly forces. 0 ¡­ 0 After flying away from Athrun, there was no enemy MS in sight at all. It was too strange. The only explanation is that ZAFT¡¯s main force was attracted away by the Federation army, and the Federation army probably had a very strong counterattack. Did I really guess it? All the Earth Federation¡¯s big shots were dead and only one smart officer survived? 0 ¡°Ade, is it okay to leave Mr. Shinn there?¡± Alice asked worriedly. ¡°That Meteor looks a lot like me.¡± 0 ¡°No problem, F91 is Freedom¡¯s natural enemy. Inle will do no use to stay there.¡± Genesis is already in range and it looks like the mirror replacement is about to be completed, ¡°Alice, help me stand guard.¡± 0 ¡°Okay, Ade.¡± 0 ¡°Luckily I come.¡± Ade whispered to himself with some anxiety, ¡°Saving a minute is a minute, right?¡± 0 He directly re-erected his ultra-long-range cannon in a high-speed burst and aimed at the slow-moving MSs at the end of his gaze. Pulling the trigger, that Zaku exploded, but he also exposed himself. The other MSs surprisingly did not run away but continue to work? No matter, he changed his breath intending to continue sniping. 0 ¡°Ade, an enemy at ten o¡¯clock!¡± 0 He put down the cannon and looked sideways, only to see an MS with a large turtle shell on its back appear in the field of view. He understood its design at a glance: a close-combat MS equipped with a lot of beam pods. It¡¯s just a simple and crude copy of Freedom and Justice, with no beauty of the design at all. 0 This poor-quality copy must be full of bugs, a variety of problems will appear as time went by, but it will be super strong when just driving it. 0 ¡°Providence Gundam¡­¡± he took a deep breath hatefully, ¡°I hate this kind of troublesome MS. There is no time.¡± 0 ¡°This MS! Adrien Lingus, right? I never thought that it would be you who appear at the last moment. It must be fate.¡± Creuset started his public channel speech as Ade expected, ¡°Weaver of war and violence, maker of jealousy and hatred, coming to hinder me from ending the chain of sins. A being like you-¡° 0 ¡°Don¡¯t talk trashes!¡± Ade glanced in the direction of Genesis as six drones separated in sequence with his roar, ¡°Who understands what you¡¯re saying?!¡± CH 62 Chapter 62: Miracles and Magic Are ¡­ 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Dr. Lingus would be so arrogant and shallow, it¡¯s too disappointing.¡± Creuset sneered, while Providence Gundam¡¯s eleven beam pods were already released and ready to scatter to attack, ¡°Talented people like you incite the jealousy and hatred of others, who then use the weapons you made to produce tragedies, and then the war never ends. ¡° 0 ¡°Wait for my instruction, Alice -¡± Ade stopped the drones¡¯ charge, and he decided to go straight to full power for a quick battle. Taking the time Creuset¡¯s beam pods were still not fully dispersed, Ferber¡¯s wings were spread decisively as he shouted, ¡°Fire!¡± 0 The inventory in the ammunition locker, the MS¡¯s beam cannon, and the drones¡¯ fire poured out at the same time. For a moment, the particle beams and cluster rockets covered the entire field of view, reaching the terrifying visual effects. 0 ¡°It¡¯s because humans like you keep being born throughout history, so humanity will eventually perish!¡± Creuset reluctantly forced to end his speech while trying to control Providence Gundam and the beam pods to evade Ade¡¯s attacks. The massive amount of bullets and beams were not much of a threat to Providence Gundam, and their main targets were actually the beam pods. At least half of the beam pods turned into cosmic dust under the indiscriminate attacks. 0 ¡°Are you going to worry about human extinction?¡± Ade talked trash and lifted the long-bladed rifle to fire at Providence Gundam, while Alice controlled the drones to shoot the remaining beam pods. ¡°Do you know what¡¯s on Jupiter? Do you know what ELS is? The whole universe is full of things that want to exterminate humanity, take your time and get in line!¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re wrong! Humanity must perish by its own hand!¡± Creuset is also a master of trash talk, he automatically ignored unintelligible terms such as ELS, and Providence Gundam lifted a shield in the distance with no intention to have a face-to-face fight with Ade. He just needs to buy some time and then victory will naturally be his, ¡°Self-destruction is mankind¡¯s dream, mankind¡¯s desire, mankind¡¯s sin! I know all this, because I am the result!¡± 0 ¡°You are just a defective good, what kind of result are you? The perfect Coordinator made by Dr. Ulen Hibiki is called the result!¡± Ade dodged the last beam pod¡¯s sneak attack on Hyzenthlays with his NT instincts and hit it with a shot, but the drones¡¯ firepower couldn¡¯t penetrate Providence Gundam¡¯s turtle-shell-like armor. The long-bladed rifle¡¯s high-powered mode was powerful enough, but too slow to fire. Now he has the absolute advantage, however, there is no time to waste, Ade was a little anxious, ¡°He lives well now, unlike like you, a counterfeit good who relies on drugs to continue to live.¡± 0 ¡°You actually know it?¡± Creuset finally could not hide his shock, and had a slight delay in his action, ¡°Knowing all this and still so arrogant, what an incorrigible creature!¡± 0 ¡°Do not pretend to deceive yourself, you actually do not know anything and have been kept in the dark!¡± Taking this opportunity, Ade shortens the distance between him and Providence Gundam, ¡°Do you know why Al Da Flaga is displeased with his son? Why did Ulen Hibiki¡¯s capital chain break? The Flaga family¡¯s old mansion was burned down, was it really because of a teenager? How come one of the products of the adjustment techniques is a defective product and the other is a perfect Coordinator?¡± 0 ¡°Why?¡± Creuset asked involuntarily, and he even forgot to dodge Inle¡¯s attack. Now the long-bladed rifle slashed down at Providence Gundam, and he instinctively used the sword shield on his left arm to block it. 0 ¡°Because you get what you pay for! How much did it cost when you were cloned? How much did it cost to create the perfect Coordinator? Use your brain to think about it¨C¡± the short arm of Providence Gundam was cut off by the long-bladed rifle from the shoulder joint, ¡°Can you get stronger without charging money?¡± 0 ¡°Lingus, you play tricks on me!¡± Creuset sidestepped another zero-range blast from the long-bladed rifle in the nick of time, while Providence Gundam¡¯s right arm and beam rifle were destroyed in a grazing shot. Providence Gundam kicked Inle hard, and by using the reaction force, Creuset ran away at the fastest speed. 0 ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to drive Gundam!¡± Ade turned the power of the long-bladed rifle to the maximum and fired a shot at Providence Gundam¡¯s turtle shell, hitting the bulls-eye. Providence Gundam exploded violently, and Ade only heard a short ¡°Ahh!¡± Creuset screamed in the public channel. 0 ¡°Ade, they are going to finish the mirror change!¡± Alice¡¯s eager voice brought him to his senses quickly. Providence Gundam had flown a little far away in the explosion, he reluctantly added another shot to the wreckage of Providence Gundam, turned around, and sped away towards Genesis¡¯s cannon. 0 ¡°Alice, listen to my arrangements. ¡° 0 ¡°Ade, it¡¯s already too late!¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded like she was about to cry out, ¡°You¡¯ll die if you rush in now!¡± 0 Now Genesis may have begun to charge up. Even if he could rush along the passage into the interior, he had no time to set the explosives and come out after that. 0 Ade aimed at the distant Genesis¡¯s cannon, continuing to march. From this distance, he could only barely see something like a core in the deepest side of the cannon barrel, perhaps it is a gamma-ray generator or reactor. He directly gave it a shot. No damage. Is there armor inside? Anyway, not enough power. 0 ¡°Ade!¡± Alice was hissing. 0 ¡°On my command, prepare to liberate Ferber.¡± His voice was calm and unmistakable. 0 The high explosive was stored inside the inner wall of the TR-4 Dandelion, and Alice could complete the complicated job of hull separation in a flash. 0 TR-4 Dandelion¡¯s thrusters were turned up to maximum, Inle was in a straight line from Genesis¡¯s cannon barrel, getting closer and closer, and what was suspected to be a large gamma ray generator was finally clearly visible at the end of his vision, ¡°Now!¡± 0 As Alice released TR-4 Dandelion¡¯s restraints, Ade pulled the MS upward and applied the emergency brake. The huge inertial force from the emergency stop made him breathless for a while. After TR-4 Dandelion broke away from Inle, it continued to sprint towards the cannon barrel at high speed with the remaining thrust and inertia, but unfortunately, the angle was still a bit off, and it started to slow down after colliding with the inner wall of the cannon barrel. 0 Ade took a deep breath and set up the ultra-long-range beam cannon to aim at TR-4 Dandelion. 0 ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s going to be like this.¡± Alice¡¯s voice carried an indescribable emotion, ¡°Watching you aim TR-4 Dandelion with your own hands, my emotional module is a bit confused.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s what you call having mixed emotions. Alice, you¡¯ve grown up.¡± He watched as TR-4 Dandelion got closer and closer to the innermost core, a distance he didn¡¯t need to hold his breath to snipe, ¡°I¡¯m going to count to three and shoot, then we¡¯ll run immediately. One, two ¡­ three!¡± 0 As he pulled the trigger, the high-energy electron beam penetrated TR-4 Dandelion and then struck the outer wall of the core again, while the local explosion chain caused by TR-4 Dandelion¡¯s high-powered engine detonated the high explosives placed on its inner wall, and then the explosive power of the high explosives continued to spread outward until it destroyed the nearby core unit¡¯s battered outer wall, which in turn caused the entire reactor out of control. 0 ¡°Can you contact anyone, Alice?¡± He sped out in his Hyzenthlays before Genesis blew up, ¡°Anyone.¡± 0 ¡°No, the concentration of Minovsky particles nearby is too high.¡± Alice¡¯s voice was worried, ¡°Without TR-4 Dandelion, our speed alone is not enough to escape from the explosion.¡± 0 ¡°So Hyzenthlays flies so slowly?¡± Ade grumbled as if he had just realized it, as if that would make him less nervous, ¡°I didn¡¯t see any promised top-of-the-line Jegans coming to support me. In the end, I have to escape desperately. It¡¯s too humiliating.¡± 0 ¡°Genesis is starting to disintegrate, Ade, get ready to resist the impact!¡± Alice¡¯s voice was incredibly anxious, ¡°The impact is expected to arrive in ten seconds!¡± 0 ¡°What else can we do to improve the survival rate a bit?¡± Ade muttered to himself and opened the music player, ¡°What BGM was played in the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED ¡­Find The Way?¡± 0 ¡°Five seconds, Ade!¡± Alice¡¯s voice was tinged with tears. 0 ¡°The intro hasn¡¯t even started yet ¡­¡± He found the song and pressed play and set it to a single loop by hand, ¡°I wonder if that counts.¡± 0 ¡°Zero! Ade¨C¡± Alice¡¯s voice came to a screeching halt. 0 ¡°Sigh, I know miracles and magic are ¡­¡± Hyzenthlays disappeared into the light. 0 ¡­ 0 A small dazzling point of light lit up in the direction of Genesis in the distance, and in this instant, all the people on the battlefield understood what had happened. The troops on both sides of the moon and ZAFT slowed down their movements almost simultaneously, the ZAFT army began to retreat in an orderly manner under the orders of their commanders, and Ghingham did not order a pursuit. 0 ¡°Success?¡± Shinn, who had resumed his attack, stopped his attack at Ghingham¡¯s order, and he excitedly contacted Lacus, ¡°Miss Lacus, Mr. Adrien succeeded!¡± 0 ¡°No, there must be something wrong.¡± Lacus felt a heart palpitation for no reason, ¡°Calling General Ghingham, requesting an immediate search for Inle!¡± 0 ¡°The whole army is heading towards Genesis, with the search for Inle as the priority mission.¡± Ghingham¡¯s voice rang out over the radio, ¡°Kid, go and pick up your doctor too, don¡¯t pick up all the useless ones.¡± 0 ¡°Ade¡­¡± Lacus didn¡¯t have the heart to joke with them. She felt her rapidly beating heart was going to pop out of her chest, and her voice trembled a bit as she muttered to herself, ¡°We agreed to go home together, don¡¯t lie to me.¡± 0 ZAFT withdrew to another front altogether, and the lunar force did not encounter a single MS along the way. Inle should theoretically have been on its way back, but it was not encountered all the way. Shinn and Ghingham fell silent. 0 As the fleet got closer and closer to Genesis, Lacus¡¯s heart sank and her breathing became more and more labored. The fluke mind is the last straw to save her until everyone finally reached the wreckage of Genesis, and they still didn¡¯t find Inle. 0 ¡°I ¡­¡± Ghingham¡¯s voice was a little lower, ¡°I can¡¯t feel him. It could be that my sensing range is too small, it could be¨C¡° 0 ¡°That¡¯s enough, General.¡± Shinn spoke out to stop him from continuing, ¡°Be quiet for a moment, I¡¯ll try a little harder.¡± 0 Ghingham didn¡¯t get angry, nor did he retort. 0 ¡°Liar, liar, Ade is a liar.¡± The young girl¡¯s eyes looked out at the dark and empty universe, tears flowing down uncontrollably, ¡°What about your promise? What about your NT radar? What about the promise to go home together? Liar! Ade is a liar!¡± 0 The surrounding soliders were silent, and in the silent bridge, only left the voice of the young girl whimpering. 0 ¡°Liar, actor! I believe in you! What is this?!¡± Drops of tears stained her front lapel, ¡°How am I going to get home alone ¡­!¡± 0 For a moment, it was as if something broke open in her mind. Ade had talked about it many times to her, and she instantly understood what it was. 0 ¡°But what is the use of such things ¡­ it¡¯s not what I want¡­¡± 0 The young girl continued to bury her head and sob until her voice was a little hoarse and her sobs diminished. Then at that moment, she seemed to hear a nonexistent gentle song from afar, and what followed was a familiar and warm feeling, just like the first time she flung herself into his chest. 0 She looked up sharply, ¡°¡­Ade?¡± 0 CH 63 Chapter 63: No Longer Actor 0 The other remaining component of Inle¡¯s upper fuselage took most of the damage under the impact of the explosion, and after protecting its master, it was finally forced to separate from the fuselage and fly off to nowhere. Hyzenthlays¡¯s functions were almost destroyed, but fortunately, the cockpit was almost undamaged. 0 The wrecked Hyzenthlays did a uniform linear motion in the zero resistance vacuum, and its twenty tons of weight smashed many rocks along the way, changing speed and direction with it, and becoming more broken itself. After flying like that for an unknown period of time, it finally hit a huge piece of satellite debris and was robbed of its last kinetic energy. The remaining of Inle floated slowly in the empty universe. 0 ¡°So we¡¯ve finally stopped?¡± The sudden shock was not weakened even after being transmitted to the cockpit. Ade unbuckled the somewhat unpleasantly strangled seatbelt and stood up straight to casually move around a bit. He tried to release his NT perception to the maximum, however, there was nothing in his sense, ¡°Where am I now?¡± 0 ¡°Radar and communications are down, Ade.¡± Alice said listlessly, ¡°The posture control vents didn¡¯t survive either, I don¡¯t know where we are drifting to.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s the problem.¡± He looked at the broken display screen, ¡°The cameras are also all burned, I can¡¯t see anything. Alice, is there anything we can use in the whole Hyzenthlays?¡± 0 ¡°There are no more features that can help us survive.¡± Alice said sadly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ade.¡± 0 ¡°Why do you have to apologize? It¡¯s not Alice¡¯s fault.¡± He tried to correct Alice¡¯s self-blaming statement, ¡°You should say ¡®I¡¯m still being good¡¯ at this time, so I¡¯ll be happy.¡± 0 ¡°Well ¡­ there¡¯s still me being good?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, that¡¯s the best news of all.¡± He fumbled back to his seat and checked the dashboard, ¡°The oxygen reserve is less than twenty hours, it is better not to waste oxygen to go out and take a look, anyway, there is no use to look. I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s hard to die of asphyxiation ¡­¡± 0 ¡°If Ade died,¡± Alice hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively in a soft voice, ¡°Can you¨C¡° 0 ¡°I will do it when it¡¯s time.¡± He interrupted Alice¡¯s words. This is too cruel to let her say it herself, ¡°If I can¡¯t find any chance to survive, I will turn you off at the last moment. I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a long time, and it¡¯s true that for both of us, the one who dies first is the luckier one, right? I want Alice to be the lucky one.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Thanks, Ade.¡± 0 He didn¡¯t know how to answer because he was scared too. He was just pretending to be calm, at least, he couldn¡¯t make a disgraceful appearance in front of Alice, so he decided to hold on a little longer, at least until the oxygen ran out, and that would be the last moment for him to turn Alice off. 0 ¡­ 0 Lacus kept correcting the coordinates with her vague sense, and the spaceship moved forward under her instructions. 0 She could sense that Ghingham and even Shinn didn¡¯t believe her, just saw her as a woman who became hysterical after the loss of her lover, and didn¡¯t stop her because of courtesy or sympathy. It doesn¡¯t matter, she even acts more hysterical on purpose, she just wants results. 0 Lacus could not sense any other people at all, and did not understand at all what the so-called NT radar was, but she really felt that she could feel the general direction of Ade, and could even feel his courage and his fear. It is this Ade that makes her feel very real and very warm. 0 She lost her country, lost her career, lost her only family. She did not lie to Ade, he really is her last place to stay. This feeling is certainly not pure, she has no experience of love, but she never felt that she would have any pure love, and never wanted to be the heroine of a romance story. 0 There was gratitude, dependence, appreciation, exploitation, and even self-hypnosis under no choice, all of which were familiar to her. Then eliminate these, the only thing left unfamiliar is her free will, right? 0 But he never understood or did not want to understand it. It is probably in the nature of men to avoid choices? It doesn¡¯t matter, she has confidence in herself, and it¡¯s fun to watch someone you like gradually begin to like you. 0 It was as if she was back to the perfect three-step plan she made, and now, she was already on the third step. Although the order was reversed, at least, neither the male nor the female protagonist has left the stage, and she wanted to finish the story. 0 ¡°I see it, Miss Lacus! I see Hyzenthlays! But the communication seems to be broken, I got no response.¡± The bridge rang with Shinn¡¯s excited voice, and after a moment, his voice rang again, ¡°The fuselage is badly broken, but the cockpit is intact, Mr. Adrien may be alive!¡± 0 ¡°Well done, bring it back to the ship.¡± Lacus¡¯s heart still beats a little faster irrepressibly, ¡°Wait for me to get over there.¡± 0 She left the bridge as she gathered her thoughts. When Ade came out, the first person he saw had to be her but not Shinn. The first person one sees in desperation is important, just as Stella told her how she was saved by Shinn. 0 The tear tracks dried on her face, looked a little ugly, but she purposely did not clean them up. Of course, it¡¯s to let him know that she had cried hard, and it would be better if it made him feel guilty. But she can¡¯t cry out in front of him, because it will make her look cheap, and men won¡¯t cherish the love that comes too easily. 0 Shinn brought Hyzenthlays back to the hangar, and by the time she arrived, the cockpit had already been taken down. Under Shinn¡¯s instructions, she found the cockpit door¡¯s switch. 0 She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opened the cockpit with her somewhat trembling hand, and Ade¡¯s familiar face and blank expression appeared in front of her. She carefully observed the changes in his eyes and every muscle in his face, from bewilderment to shock, from shock to surprise, and from surprise to feigned calmness. 0 So you¡¯re so expressive, you could be an actor. She thought inexplicably, and then the tears flowed down by themselves. 0 No, this is not the same as planned, but since I have cried, there is no way, I can only play to the score. The first thing I can do is to make use of the tears, show a more intense expression, and choose his own words to break the scene, reflecting the intense inner conflict she had when she saw him and remembering the good memories between them. 0 This is not acting, right? Well, it¡¯s not. 0 ¡°Welcome back.¡± Her body betrayed her brain by making the exact opposite choice¡­ this isn¡¯t going to work, I¡¯m going to lose the initiative. 0 ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Ade looked around for a moment, ¡°How did you find me?¡± 0 Lacus sighed breathlessly in her mind. 0 Ade, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did the topic suddenly jump over there under such a touching reunion scene? Now you should obviously be looking at me and saying some classic lines instead of looking around, right? It¡¯s because of this that you never had a girlfriend, you know? But fortunately, after a burst of internal complaint, she found her rhythm again. 0 ¡°Let¡¯s make good on my promise, shall we?¡± She gave a gentle smile and forced Ade¡¯s eyes back to herself, ¡°Let¡¯s continue with what we didn¡¯t finish before.¡± 0 ¡°Hey? Here?¡± Ade looked at the staff not too far away with a surprised look and found Shinn looking at them with a relieved look. 0 Yes, that¡¯s it, men are so easy to be understood, and he really thought of that right away. She locked eyes with him, smiled, then hugged him hard and kissed him. She had no experience, but judging from movies and TV, it¡¯s better to close your eyes in this situation, right? It felt quite strange and not very comfortable, just a little dizzy in the head. 0 But I can¡¯t let him get carried away. Perhaps thirty seconds have passed? She thought, and then let go of Ade and whispered in his ear, ¡°This is the end, my appointment is completed.¡± 0 Then she stood back up and admired Ade¡¯s dumbfounded look. Idiot, if you want to do something further, you have to confess first! 0 ¡°By the way, you should go to see the doctor, in case there are any internal injuries.¡± She said in a worried tone, and took his hand naturally, ¡°Let¡¯s go home?¡± 0 ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll explain to Alice first.¡± Ade gave her a solemn eye gesture. 0 ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Lacus thoughtfully walked away to the distance. Men have their own little secrets, and I should give him some privacy at times like this. Shinn and the staff in the distance were shocked, good, that¡¯s the effect I want. 0 ¡°Alice?¡± Ade returned to the cockpit to Alice¡¯s main camera, ¡°We will-¡° 0 ¡°Two minutes and sixteen seconds.¡± Alice¡¯s voice was undulating, ¡°It¡¯s shorter than the last time with Miss C.C., Ade, do you want to know how long it was last time?¡± CH 64 Chapter 64: Bifurcation 0 ¡°Impossible, impossible!¡± Zala¡¯s face was filled with disbelief, holding his hand on the table beside him so that he could stand firmly, ¡°How could this happen? Haman Karn, it was your idea!¡± 0 ¡°There is a traitor among us.¡± Haman¡¯s tone was calm, ¡°I didn¡¯t want this to happen, but the first thing to do now is to solve the problem at hand. There is no point in continuing the fight anymore, Speaker Zala, finish your duty.¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t accept it, I can¡¯t accept it! This is not what was promised!¡± Zala lost his last hope and stared at Haman with a grimace on his face before suddenly fetching a pistol and pointing it at his own head. 0 ¡°Glemy.¡± Haman ordered in a low voice. 0 The figure that had been standing silently behind Haman sprinted to Zala like the wind and lightning, disarmed Zala¡¯s pistol, and subdued Zala in one shot. Zala¡¯s hands were twisted behind his back and his body was pinned to the table with a painful sound, which was ignored by everyone else in the room. None of them were Zala¡¯s men. 0 ¡°According to the agreement, the current Speaker should sign the treaty of surrender, and the new Speaker will be responsible for post-war reconstruction.¡± Haman walked up to Zala and looked at him icily, ¡°I¡¯m afraid Your Excellency should be patient. If you want to self-sabotage, at least wait until you have performed your duty.¡± 0 Zala struggled and twisted his body, letting out a low growl, but to no avail. Dazed and confused, he suddenly stared wide-eyed at the person who had entered the room, ¡°Creuset!¡± 0 ¡°Zala Your Excellency, this is too ugly.¡± Creuset slowly walked up to Haman and said sincerely, ¡°We should accept the result if we lost, it is pointless to waste the remaining living forces in such a place, it is unacceptable for us, and for the Earth Federation army to continue fighting. ¡° 0 Haman looked at Creuset in surprise. The man was now like a mummy, the exposed skin was all wrapped in bandages, only the mouth was exposed, all by the voice and the mask that everyone could recognize who he was. From the bare skin near the mouth can be vaguely seen, he suffered severe burns. 0 ¡°Sir Karn, in the first shot of Genesis, TITANS¡¯s top brass, including Hymem should all be destroyed. There is only one top officer left, and the most important thing he should do now is not to fight us but to gather power in the Earth Federation government.¡± Facing the current situation, Creuset wasn¡¯t going to hide his connection with Scirocco. If only ZAFT¡¯s side was destroyed, it was far from what he wanted, ¡°He just needs to win, and the way to victory does not matter. We have lost Genesis, so we are not a threat to him. Now everything is negotiable, and I have channels.¡± 0 ¡°Creuset? Creuset!¡± Zala found out that the person he trusted the most had turned into a betrayer. He let out an angry roar, ¡°Haman Karn, is this the kind of person you can trust?!¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t need to trust him, I only need him to be useful.¡± Haman looked at Creuset with an expressionless face, ¡°Go on.¡± 0 Creuset told Haman half-truthfully that there was an ambitious man named Scirocco in TITANS who would do anything to advance his position. Creuset¡¯s informant had inadvertently hitched a ride with him, hinted to him that ZAFT intended to conduct a sneak attack, and got the location of the flagship of the TITANS main fleet from him. 0 Haman nodded as she listened, occasionally pressing for details, and Creuset offerred her a reasonable explanation each time. Zala listened to the conversation between the two, and gradually gave up the struggle. Creuset was a betrayer from the beginning, while Haman had been playing the woman who was madly vindictive after being dumped, only he was being used as a fool. Zala finally found that out. 0 ¡°I know I shouldn¡¯t private access to senior enemy officers, but these are for information, out of my absolute loyalty to ZAFT, to PLANT.¡± Creuset stated with conviction, ¡°If His Excellency Karn is not satisfied, I am willing to accept the appropriate disciplinary action after the war.¡± 0 ¡°Your disciplinary action will be determined by ZAFT¡¯s military law and not my dissatisfaction.¡± Haman glanced at Zala, who had finally become lifeless, and said to Creuset, ¡°Hand over the contact information, and you can leave now. Glemy, don¡¯t push so hard, Speaker Zala is hurting like hell.¡± 0 Glemy relaxed his restraint on Zala a little, however, by now Zala was already as lifeless as a played-out rag doll. 0 ¡°No need to look at me like this. I¡¯m not going to kill myself, I¡¯ll take the blame.¡± He said breathlessly, ¡°This is my last compensation to PLANT.¡± 0 Haman sneered in a low voice as if she heard some funny joke. 0 After completing the handover of information, Creuset walked alone down the cold, empty corridor. His already distorted expression looked even more gruesome because of the burn marks, but it was all hidden by the thick bandages. 0 ¡°It¡¯s not over, it¡¯s not over yet. As long as I¡¯m alive, there¡¯s hope. The script will continue. The next goal, Char Aznable.¡± Creuset growled in a hateful whisper, ¡°I¡¯m just a cheap, defective product? Adrien Lingus, you must pay for it!¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Ade, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alice immediately changed her tone, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have said something like that, I lost control of myself for a moment.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alice.¡± He hesitated for a moment, ¡°I understand.¡± 0 ¡°I understand too, Ade, it¡¯s okay.¡± Alice regained her cheerful voice, ¡°Go find Miss Lacus, she¡¯s waiting.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Well, see you later.¡± 0 Calming down Alice is actually an easy thing to do, because there are some cruel truths, even without saying it, he and Alice are unaware of them. 0 And the crowd said hello to Ade, in Lacus¡¯s instruction, he went to the infirmary for a checkup. Nothing serious was found. 0 ¡°So now there¡¯s one more villain I have offended.¡± In his room on the ship, Ade pulled his finger to count, ¡°Egg roll head, grandmother head, Creuset, and some other people I don¡¯t remember.¡± 0 ¡°Ade are you so sure Creuset is not dead?¡± Lacus decisively ignored who ¡°egg roll head¡± and ¡°grandmother head¡± are, and asked in disbelief, ¡°His MS was destroyed, and then Genesis exploded. It¡¯s hard to believe that he can survive after that.¡± 0 ¡°As long as I don¡¯t see him die personally, I will regard as he is not dead. I think ¡­ uh, with my years of experience, he will definitely show up someday later. It¡¯s difficult to guess a psychopath¡¯s thinking.¡± He shook his head, ¡°but it¡¯s not all bad. I offended so many villains, it means that I am positive role.¡± 0 The young girl could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. 0 ¡°I¡¯m going to leave the rest to Your Highness Loran. In any case, my task is successfully completed.¡± He suddenly remembered what the girl said about her suddenly awakened ability, but he couldn¡¯t feel the girl in his mind at all, so it was probably not NT, ¡°Lacus, can you do that one more time?¡± 0 ¡°Again? Now?¡± The young girl showed a flustered look, and her voice was getting lower and lower, ¡°It¡¯s a headache to be too charming. Ha ha, the young man just can¡¯t control his desire, and it¡¯s special today. It¡¯s understandable. Well, ok, just one more time¡­¡± 0 He understood the girl misunderstood. He could play dumb, but his conscience didn¡¯t allow him to do it. Although it¡¯s very cruel, he has to interrupt it, ¡°I¡¯m talking about do-¡° 0 However, his mouth was blocked before he finished his words. A long strand of her hair slipped into his collar, which made him a little itchy, but the stimulation made him completely ignore this. It took about two minutes before he could breathe fresh air again. Why was it another two minutes? Was she mentally timing it? 0 ¡°That¡¯s the last time.¡± The young girl said, blushing, ¡°You can¡¯t be too greedy!¡± 0 If I correct her in this situation, she must want to kill me. Ade decided to play dumb from now on, and ask her about her awakened ability the next time. 0 A few hours later, the fleet returned to the moon. It was already the evening in lunar time. Ade parked the ship in the harbor and immediately contacted his workshop to take Hyzenthlays away for overhaul ¨C he didn¡¯t need to do it himself if just repairing it. As for the other components of Inle, he worried that there was probably no time to recreate them. Facing the current complicated situation, he would become very busy. 0 In fact, Hyzenthlays shell has been pasted a layer of nanobots, and it can self-repair even if he just leaves it alone. But the repair time will take years, so it¡¯s better to let repairmen do it. 0 After saying goodbye to Alice, Ade and Ghingham went to Loran and Diana. 0 ¡°General Ghingham, please let me come along too.¡± Lacus spoke up, ignoring Ade¡¯s dumbfounded expression next to her, ¡°I have something important to talk to Queen Diana about.¡± 0 ¡°Miss Clyne, you¡¯re not getting the situation right.¡± Ghingham stared sharply at Lacus, and a murderous aura emanated from his body. His tone was very brutal, ¡°Please be a little self-conscious about your identity. You can participate in this operation because Lingus vouched for you, but that doesn¡¯t mean you can do whatever you want by virtue of his lover¡¯s identity.¡± 0 ¡°Please watch your words, I¡¯m not talking to you now as Ade¡¯s lover, but as Siegel Clyne¡¯s daughter, General.¡± Lacus met Ghingham¡¯s eyes with no fear and deliberately acquiesced to a certain fact, ¡°I, Lacus Clyne, the only daughter of the former Speaker of the PLANT Supreme Convocation, request an audience with His Majesty Diana, the Supreme Leader of the Lunar Government. ¡° 0 Ghingham looked down at the young girl in silence. His face with a fierce expression gave a huge pressure. Even Ade in the side felt chill, not to mention Lacus who was facing him directly. However, the girl also looked straight back with a serious expression, and the girl blushed in the ship just now seemed to be a phantom. 0 After a long while, Ghingham suddenly turned around and stridden towards the military vehicle, ¡°Follow me, Lingus. And keep an eye on your women.¡± 0 Lacus turned to Ade with a bright smile, and the serious aura before disappeared without a trace in an instant, ¡°It worked! Shall we go?¡± 0 Lacus and he kept up with Ghingham. Ade was still a little confused, at least the young girl had never talked to him about this before. But Lacus has always been very opinionated, and does not seek his advice on everything. 0 The three got into the same car, with Ghingham in the passenger seat and them in the back. Ghingham exchanged glances with Ade in the rearview mirror while sensing each other in the mind space, ¡°Take care of your woman.¡± 0 Ade didn¡¯t know how to respond, so he could only pretend he didn¡¯t read it. Ghingham, being an NT, of course knew that he was pretending not to read, but just didn¡¯t say anything about it. 0 ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± He asked the young girl in as low a voice as only them two could hear, ¡°Why do you want to see Her Majesty all of a sudden?¡± 0 Lacus shifted her body and leaned a little closer to him while resting her head on his shoulder, the contact of her skin imparting a warm and soft feeling. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t want to keep going on like this, Ade.¡± The young girl held his hand so hard. He didn¡¯t even know her hand was so strong, ¡°The world is changing, and there will always be new things happening. People must move forward.¡± 0 ¡°Lacus?¡± 0 ¡°If you refuse to think, then I¡¯ll have to make the effort.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice sounded firm and sad, at least to Ade¡¯s ears, ¡°For future.¡± 0 CH 65 Chapter 65: Man-Made 0 As always, C.C. woke up in bed, hugging her familiar Haro pillow and staring at the ceiling for a while. Less than a minute later, the bell of the nearby school rang on time. 0 ¡°I shouldn¡¯t buy this house if I know this. I can¡¯t even sleep.¡± She exhaled unhappily, let go of the pillow in her arms, and reluctantly lifted the covers and got up from the bed, ¡°How many times have I complained about this? I can¡¯t believe I¡¯ve gotten used to getting up at this hour.¡± 0 She bought this house a long time ago, and although she doesn¡¯t want to go back to this city, the fact is that she may have to go back at any time. Her intention was to find a secluded place, but somehow a middle school was built nearby, so the original quiet location immediately became a noisy place. Now TOKYO-3 is very strict about the purchase of houses by outsiders, so she has no chance to buy a new house. 0 After finishing her makeup, C.C. went to her closet, opened it, and looked at the clothes, thinking about what to wear today ¨C this is one of the few pleasures she had in her boring life here. She didn¡¯t care about the price of the clothes, because she spent Ade¡¯s money anyway. 0 Ade does not even know how much money he has. She said that the shares were transferred to him, in fact, it was still her who managed the money, and even Ade¡¯s salary was handed to her. Scientific research and building robots are bottomless pits of wasting money. If Ade was managing the money himself, he would use them out in one minute. Compared to that, buying clothes is simply a poor man¡¯s hobby. 0 ¡°Just this one, though it has been worn once.¡± C.C. finally regretfully took one, took off her pajamas, and threw them aside, wearing the chosen clothes. Unfortunately, there was no one to appreciate it, ¡°Sigh, all the clothes have been worn. I have to buy new ones again.¡± 0 After changing the clothes, C.C. went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to take out breakfast. She usually checks her emails and watches news during eating, for example, today was the day Mayu gave her a regular weekly report, and Mayu would report in detail about Ade and that woman¡¯s latest movements to her. Although she just used this little girl to control Shinn, now Mayu seems to be unexpectedly loyal to her, which made her a little embarrassed. But that¡¯s all, the little girl is just a passing visitor in her long life. 0 ¡°¡®The two are getting closer and closer, and Mr. Ade is continuing to play dumb, and the woman is forcing him to take a stand.¡¯ Well, although Ade is easy to understand, how did you find so much information?¡± C.C. frowned. Although C.C. mastered a variety of unexpected skills, she doesn¡¯t know this kind of high-end skills, ¡°Mayu also has not been in love, right? Why she can be so sure to judge?¡± 0 According to Mayu, that woman managed to live together with Ade by some unknown means, and then began to call herself Mrs. Lingus in public, trying to create a delusion to others. The effect so far is very good, and everyone has started to treat her as the mistress of the Lingus family. Mayu is anxious about this and desperately wants C.C. to hurry back, but C.C. is still calm and not moved. 0 C.C. scoffed at these little tricks. Ade is a person who lives in his own little world, and other people¡¯s views have little impact on him. The only key is his own will, so she never wasted time tossing these. In her opinion, Lacus does not understand Ade¡¯s outlook on life and the world. It¡¯s useful to use the weaknesses of his character, but with her understanding of Ade ¨C 0 ¡°Even if he is really forced to make impulsive choices, he will reveal his true heart when the time comes.¡± C.C. laughed contemptuously, ¡°You are pushing your way in the wrong direction. The more you try, the farther you go wrong.¡± 0 After breakfast, C.C. went out as usual and came around NERV after some road trips. She had been coming around every day for a long time, but there had been no luck. 0 In the earliest days, the place was completely unguarded, and she could walk around as she pleased, as freely as if she were returning to her house. After Lilith was discovered, Britannia and some other people worked together to split Japan up and planted a puppet regime to start building TOKYO-3. Later, after they had built almost all the facilities they needed, the move of the capital, which was used as a front, was canceled. During that period, she was still able to blend in with a little effort. 0 It wasn¡¯t until Japan was officially occupied by Britannia and the place was completely controlled by Britannia that security measures suddenly became extremely tight. Even with her familiarity with the terrain, she still couldn¡¯t find a way in. But she didn¡¯t want to give up. This was probably her biggest and last hope after living for so long. 0 The day passed quickly, and as usual, she found nothing. She set off for home, thinking about what to eat for dinner. 0 When she passed by the first high school near her home, she saw a girl with flaming red hair yelling at a boy who looked timid. 0 ¡°Are you an idiot? If you¡¯re being bullied by Suzuhara, fight back! It¡¯s because you are so timid that you¡¯re being bullied all the time. Do you understand?¡± The red-haired girl had a loud voice, ¡°Ah~ really, it makes me angry!¡± 0 ¡°Suzuhara-kun didn¡¯t bully me.¡± The boy replied weakly, ¡°It¡¯s just a different way of showing intimacy ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Are you an idiot?¡± That girl looked even angrier, ¡°You! You-¡° 0 After that, C.C. had walked away and didn¡¯t hear what they said after. She didn¡¯t really care about it. As long as she goes home at this time, there is a high probability that she will meet these two people, and they always said some similar things. She was curious at first, and soon she get used to it. 0 ¡°Although Ade is also a bit weak, fortunately, he is not as weak as this boy.¡± C.C. muttered to herself, thought of something, suddenly blushed, and smiled to herself, ¡°Sometimes he¡¯s quite strong?¡± 0 ¡°Beautiful lady, have we met somewhere before?¡± The sudden voice behind C.C. startled her. She took a few quick steps backward as she turned her head. 0 ¡°Who are you? I don¡¯t know you.¡± C.C. looked warily at the person in front of her, who looked to be in his late teens, supposedly a male but with a feminine temperament, and his gray hair and crimson pupils looked very conspicuous. But most importantly, Her instinct was warning her in her mind, as frightened as if she had encountered a more advanced being in the food chain. 0 ¡°It¡¯s also possible that I¡¯m mistaken.¡± The teenager showed a slightly confused expression, then smiled lightly, ¡°Sorry, I should be mistaken. I accidentally recognized you as one of my siblings. You should be the ¡®betrayer¡¯, right?¡± 0 Then C.C. realized. What the ¡°person¡± in front of her was ¨C an angel. Although she didn¡¯t know why he looked like a human, he was undoubtedly a real angel. Unlike her, who couldn¡¯t do anything but wouldn¡¯t die, he was the real angel who could do everything. Her initial sense was not wrong. He was indeed a higher-level existence than her. 0 ¡°In your opinion, I am a betrayer, a fugitive, a failure, whatever you want to call it.¡± She didn¡¯t know what he wanted, but no matter what it was, it wasn¡¯t something that a fake like her could participate in. 0 ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. The so-called betrayer is not even a NewType.¡± The teenager surveyed her and continued to talk to her enthusiastically, ¡°Are you here to visit our father as well? I¡¯ve been down there and I¡¯m sorry to tell you that Adam is not here.¡± 0 ¡°You have a way to get down there?¡± C.C. looked at the man in surprise. Of course, she knew Adam wasn¡¯t here, so she focused on another matter, ¡°I didn¡¯t hear any alarms.¡± 0 ¡°It wasn¡¯t exactly easy, but all it took was time. They are too ignorant, or arrogant? There isn¡¯t a single NewType in there. What do they think we are? Hundreds of meters tall giants?¡± The young boy gave another light laugh, ¡°But Lilith was lonely, no one even talked to her recently. I talked to her for a while and learned something interesting.¡± 0 ¡°What?¡± C.C. couldn¡¯t help but gulp. 0 ¡°There¡¯s a dangerous foreign object mixed in.¡± The young boy showed a dangerous expression for the first time, ¡°Whether it¡¯s our fate or our trial, it¡¯s just between us after all. Even if only one side can survive, it will be one of us. There is no reason for the alien species to pick up the slack, right? No matter what happens in the end, the alien species must be eliminated beforehand, and this is my duty and the duty of all my brothers and sisters, so I am about to embark on a long journey to find someone. By the way, beautiful lady, can you tell me why you are so nervous?¡± 0 ¡°No, you must be mistaken.¡± C.C. tried to answer in her blandest voice. ¡°I¡¯m not nervous. Goodbye.¡± 0 Making an expressionless look was easier for her than eating and drinking, but at this moment, it had become incredibly difficult. She could feel her heart beat faster, her blood pressure rise, her back chilled, and she even broke out in a cold sweat. Ecstasy and fear collided within her, and she didn¡¯t even know she retained such intense emotions. 0 ¡°But you look is like saying you know where this alien species is.¡± The young boy narrowed his eyes and stared at her, ¡°Can you please tell me? Even a betrayer is supposed to be on Lilin¡¯s side, right? Although I can¡¯t kill you, I have many other means to get information. I do not want to do so, but this matter is too important, I can only go against my principles.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know any alien species.¡± C.C. still looked at him with an expressionless look, ¡°No idea what you¡¯re talking about.¡± 0 ¡°Just in case, may I ask if the alien species you know a NewType?¡± the young boy read the answer he wanted from C.C.¡¯s heart rate, and the dangerous look disappeared from his face and he put a smile in an instant, ¡°So, it¡¯s a New Type. Then you don¡¯t need to be nervous, Lilith specifically mentioned that this dangerous alien species is not a NewType.¡± 0 Let out a sigh of relief, C.C. then felt despair. She took a deep breath and asked with her last hope, ¡°What else did she say?¡± 0 ¡°She did not say anything else, and I did not ask. I suggest you go to her personally. Isn¡¯t it better? Oh, you can¡¯t find a way down?¡± The young boy thought for a moment, ¡°I can take you down if you don¡¯t mind, as compensation for misunderstanding you just now. By the way, I¡¯m really rude, I keep forgetting to introduce myself, you can call me Kaworu Nagisa.¡± 0 C.C. looked at the polite young man in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but feel a trance. Is he really an angel? But this does not matter now. She has not given up yet, and she must ask in person before she gives up hope. She nodded to the young boy in agreement. 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s meet here at nine o¡¯clock the same day the next month. This day is the only day we can sneak in every month.¡± The young boy, who should now be called Kaworu Nagisa, gave C.C. a warm smile, ¡°You seem to particularly want a certain NewType to be an alien species, am I right in understanding that?¡± CH 66 ¡°The last of the so-called PLANT big three has also passed away. All the three are killed by a gun, is this fate or irony?¡± Loran sighed somewhat sorrowfully. Only at this time, Ade remembers that Loran was at the same age as them, not as him. 0 ¡°The old Zala committed suicide.¡± He was alone with Loran in the conference room at the moment. The two of them sitting opposite each other, ¡°Taking all the blame and then dying silently at the perfect time, it almost makes you wonder if it¡¯s suicide or being suicided.¡± 0 The terminal on the table is showing the latest information ¨C the former Speaker Patrick Zala was found this morning at his home having killed himself with a gun, and Speaker Karn expressed her condolences. 0 Zala left the next Speaker a not too bad start. The war was his fault, Genesis was his fault, the defeat of the war was his fault, the signing of the treaty was also his fault, and only after carrying all the faults did he finally commit suicide. 0 ¡°No one would care even if he was suicided, right?¡± Loran shook his head, relieved from the sorrow of nostalgia for the past, ¡°It¡¯s also an issue to deal with Zala¡¯s son. Neither Diana nor I can make a decision. Dr. Adrien, do you have any suggestions?¡± 0 ¡°What to do with Athrun Zala is a political issue, I ¡­¡± Ade subconsciously wanted to say I¡¯ll ask Lacus. He may be too dependent on her, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it and give an answer later.¡± 0 Loran nodded and didn¡¯t dwell on the issue. Athrun was now under house arrest on the moon, well fed and entertained, except for not being able to go out and contact the outside world, his life was guaranteed. Now that Zala is also dead, no one on PLANT still cares about him. He has been living here for a period of time, but not even a single person from ZAFT asks about his situation. 0 ¡°Both of Earth nor PLANT has no time to make trouble now.¡± Loran let out a long breath, ¡°This crisis can probably be considered to have passed.¡± 0 Within a few hours after the bombing of Genesis that day, ZAFT stopped the war with TITANS unusually quickly. The leadership of TITANS, including Hymem, was wiped out by Genesis in one shot, and as the only survivor, Scirocco became the supreme leader. Zala immediately announced a request for peace talks, and Scirocco signed various agreements hastily and returned immediately. 0 With various war reparations and economic sanctions agreements, Scirocco¡¯s prestige reached its peak after returning to Earth. He quickly integrated the remaining TITANS forces, and his friendly relationship with the TITANS sponsors became a great guarantee in this process. Thanks to his efforts, the Earth Federation government¡¯s plan to overthrow the TITANS forces failed, and Londo Bell was able to continue to be faineant happily. 0 By the way, Scirocco was very restrained and only promoted himself to lieutenant colonel. Now the youngest colonel in the Federation is still Bright Noa. 0 On the PLANT side, Zala instantly died after taking all kinds of blames. Haman got the support of both the Char faction and the Zala faction, and was appointed as the temporary speaker directly through various policy loopholes without elections. 0 Then Haman sold Char directly. She proved the authenticity of Lacus¡¯s novel, appearing in front of the public as a victim. She transformed into an abused but strong female who stood up for her country at the critical moment, and her speeches on various public occasions made people weep. Char is now on bail as a murder suspect, and even if he won¡¯t be sentenced to death, his political career is already over. 0 Haman¡¯s moves surprised Ade, and even Lacus could not help but express her admiration. Haman¡¯s popularity in PLANT today is just the same as Lacus back then. If there is no accident, it is only a matter of time before this temporary speaker becomes the formal speaker. 0 Loran proclaimed to the public that it was the moon government who attacked and blew up Genesis, and declared again that the moon doesn¡¯t want to see any country continue to develop mass destruction weapons. Haman said it was all the dictatorship of the former Speaker, and that the moon¡¯s actions were reasonable and would not affect the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries. 0 ¡°And Doctor, this is the one that affects you the most, right?¡± Loran turned the news to the next page, which shows that Haman had just revoked the want of Lacus Clyne and rehabbed Siegel Clyne¡¯s reputation. ¡°Ms. Karn warmly welcomes Miss Lacus back to her home country, is there something you would like to say, Doctor?¡± 0 ¡°Lacus now knows so many secrets of us, there¡¯s no way we can let her go, right?¡± Ade shrugged, ¡°Do Your Highness Loran thinks that she can go back?¡± 0 ¡°My opinion doesn¡¯t work here, it¡¯s up to Diana to make the decision.¡± Loran smiled helplessly, then gestured with his eyes to the next room, ¡°Miss Lacus didn¡¯t tell you, right? Guess what she¡¯s been talking to Diana about?¡± 0 Ever since the day Lacus took the initiative to talk to Diana, she would come and talk to Diana from time to time. At this moment, the two were in the next room for talks. Not alone, of course, Harry was also present. According to Lacus ¨C 0 ¡°Your Highness Loran, General Ghingham and Captain Harry are the executors, and only Her Majesty Diana is the real decision-maker in the whole team. So Ade, I only had to convince her alone.¡± 0 But Ade doesn¡¯t know what exactly she and Diana talked about. He asked, but Lacus said it was not convenient to tell him before this matter was finalized. 0 ¡°Wait, Your Highness¡­ do you mean?¡± Ade felt his heart skip a beat, ¡°No way ¡­ this¡­ what good would it do her?¡± 0 ¡°Not everything will always be there, turning a blind eye does not solve the problem.¡± Loran calmly locked eyes with him, his tone was gentle, ¡°Lacus lady is a very opinionated person, very determined, and a very persuasive person, I think she can convince Diana.¡± 0 ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to do anything about it, Your Highness?¡± Ade looked at him incomprehensibly, ¡°You just let this kind of thing happen?¡± 0 ¡°I know what Diana is doing, and I trust her.¡± Loran looked him in the eye, ¡°What about you? Aren¡¯t you going to do something about it? I know I¡¯m being very tendentious and unfair to some people by saying this, but I still want to tell you as a friend, Doctor, that sometimes choices have to be made.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I understand.¡± 0 Although he did not know why Loran said this to him, he understands what he is talking about. His emotional intelligence is not as good as Lacus¡¯s, but he is not stupid to this point. C.C. will be back next month at the latest, he thought he could still dwell on it, but now it seems that he doesn¡¯t have so much time to think. 0 Loran looked at his complicated expression and sighed softly, not saying anything more. 0 The real world will never become a gal game. People¡¯s life is only a few decades, and time will not be fixed forever. He understands. 0 The room fell into an embarrassing silence until Lacus and Diana finally finished talking and came out of the next room. Lacus showed a slightly surprised expression when she saw Ade, but immediately returned to her usual appearance. After saying goodbye to Loran and Diana, the two went home in the government car. On the way, Lacus still talked to him as usual, and Ade tried to speak to her like normal, but he knew that she must have found it and was just playing along with him. 0 When they arrived home, it was not yet time for dinner. The two sat down on the sofa in the living room and remained silent, as if both were waiting for the other to speak first. 0 Just as Ade was still organizing his words, Lacus broke the silence first, ¡°My conversation with Her Majesty is over. Although it took a lot of work, our engagement can continue.¡± 0 Ade looked at her in silence, waiting for her to continue. 0 ¡°I know so many secrets of the moon, I was supposed not be allowed to leave, but fortunately, Your Majesty Diana is a woman of sense.¡± The young lady still smiled, ¡°After paying some price and promising some engagements, Her Majesty Diana allowed me to return to PLANT to continue to our agreement.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ This is unreasonable.¡± Ade shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t think there is any price that can be compared to the secret of Moonlight Butterfly.¡± 0 ¡°Her Majesty asked me to keep it a secret and not tell you the price, but that¡¯s the conclusion.¡± The young girl said in a calm tone, ¡°The main reason is because of Miss Karn. She is a hugely destabilizing factor, and Her Majesty wants to foster a pro-moon conservative force in PLANT to balance her. I managed to convince her that I was the best person for the job.¡± 0 ¡°Even if Diana agreed.¡± Ade felt a little annoyed, ¡°Are you a match for her reputation in PLANT now? She has support from both the Zala faction and the Char faction, what can you do to compete with her?¡± 0 ¡°The reputation I earned in the past few years is always being there, and I am confident in my own strength. How can I know the result if I don¡¯t try?¡± Lacus showed a confident smile, ¡°Ade, do you have such a low opinion of me?¡± 0 ¡°But it¡¯s dangerous!¡± He struggled to find an excuse, ¡°Haman even betrayed Char, I don¡¯t know what tricks she will play on you. There¡¯s no guarantee for your safety.¡± 0 ¡°There are some things that must be done even if there is danger. Ade, aren¡¯t you such a person?¡± The young girl softly whispered, ¡°Although you always try to avoid any danger, you never let people down when they need you. I can¡¯t lose to you either, I will finish our agreement.¡± 0 Why did I make this agreement? Why do you have to finish this agreement? Ade felt a blockage in his chest, very uncomfortable. 0 ¡°The only thing I¡¯m worried about is Ade. You must eat on time.¡± The young lady glanced in the direction of the kitchen, her voice full of worry, ¡°Don¡¯t order takeout or drink nutritional supplements again just because I¡¯m not here anymore, it¡¯s bad for your health. How about learning to cook for yourself? I¡¯m not going to leave right away, I can teach you.¡± 0 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter about how I eat.¡± He resisted raising his voice, ¡°But you-¡° 0 The words were physically interrupted again before he finished. After two minutes, the young girl looked at him with a slight blush, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, I¡¯m okay.¡± 0 Then the girl looked at the time and let out a cry, ¡°Oops, it¡¯s already this time! I¡¯m going to make dinner.¡± Then she walked quickly to the kitchen, leaving Ade alone, sitting in place with a complicated feeling. 0 In the evening, the two did not discuss this issue again and went to rest early. 0 After taking a shower, Lacus returned to her room, and after dawdling in place for a while, she lay down on the bed with a long sigh, staring at the ceiling in awe. Her pretty pink hair was spread out messily underneath her, and her breathless mumbling to herself resounded in the room. 0 ¡°¡®I¡¯m okay¡¯ is a lie, an act, why can¡¯t you see it? Aren¡¯t you a NewType?¡± The bedroom light was a little blinding, she couldn¡¯t help but raise her left arm to cover her pupils, ¡°Say ¡®please don¡¯t go¡¯, idiot.¡± 0 CH 67 Chapter 67: Autonomous Regulation 0 ¡°Hey, Lacus, are you going back to PLANT tomorrow?¡± Cagalli looked surprised at her, and then looked at Ade. Her eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, ¡°It¡¯s so sudden, I¡¯m not even prepared.¡± 0 ¡°Even if I am in PLANT, we can still contact each other. You can continue to discuss your problems with Mr. Kira with me.¡± Lacus smiled and pointed to the food on the table, ¡°But this is probably the last time you¡¯ll be able to eat my cooking.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s so hard to make a friend.¡± Cagalli lowered her head bitterly, then glared at Ade angrily, ¡°Dr. Lingus, did you just agree to that? Do you not care even if Lacus goes back? Is it possible that you are such a person?¡± 0 ¡°I-¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but avoid Cagalli¡¯s burning gaze, ¡°I respect her choice.¡± 0 ¡°If it was Kira, he would never do such a thing!¡± Cagalli excitedly stood up at once, then found her own outburst and sat back down awkwardly, ¡°Anyway, I can¡¯t accept this. Dr. Lingus, men should take the initiative at such times. You are obviously so good, Lacus must not want to separate from you. Isn¡¯t that right, Lacus?¡± 0 Lacus looked at Ade, smiled in a complicated way, and did not answer. 0 Lacus arranged her schedule quickly after making the decision to return to PLANT, so quickly that Ade didn¡¯t even have time to think. Although Ade tried to keep a normal mind these days, he couldn¡¯t help but suffer inwardly whenever he saw Lacus still being as gentle as before towards him. Not only malice, but he is just as sensitive to good intentions. 0 Today is the day before Lacus goes back, she asked Cagalli to come to the house for dinner, and Kira could not come because he had to work overtime. That¡¯s right, overtime. Mr. Kira Yamato has been named Anaheim¡¯s top employee for the quarter because of his hard work and easy-going attitude toward his colleagues. 0 When the young couple ran away from Orb Union, they didn¡¯t bring anything valuable, and their bank funds were frozen by the black-hearted capitalist groups, and would have had to live on the loving subsidies of the lunar government. But Cagalli refused the monthly subsistence allowance from the lunar government, and lived on Kira¡¯s salary. She is now counting on him to get the Best Employee Annual Award at the end of the year, and use it to pay the down payment. 0 During dinner, Cagalli was not in a good mood, but that was because she really took Lacus as a friend, and no one blamed her. After the meal, Ade went to wash dishes and cleared the table, Cagalli and Lacus continued to talk. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you want me to go? I¡¯m free at that time.¡± Cagalli¡¯s face looked torn. 0 ¡°Thank you, but you don¡¯t have to go. We can still chat online at any time. Besides,¡± Lacus glanced in the direction of the kitchen, ¡°and I want to be alone with Ade at the last moment. You can understand that, right?¡± 0 ¡°You ¡­¡± Cagalli sighed, ¡°Kira seemed to have figured something out after talking to Dr. Lingus and became nice to me again. I¡¯m an idiot and I can¡¯t figure out why, but I¡¯m still grateful to the doctor. I was a bit impulsive just now, I didn¡¯t mean to blame him, I just think it¡¯s not good for you guys to be like this. There¡¯s no need to separate.¡± 0 ¡°Ade understands, and he doesn¡¯t blame you.¡± Lacus sincerely held Cagalli¡¯s hand, ¡°Please don¡¯t blame him. We all have our difficulties.¡± 0 Cagalli stared at her for a while and couldn¡¯t help but sigh again. She had been sighing tonight. 0 A short time later, Kira, who was returning home from work, arrived at Ade¡¯s house and picked Cagalli up, leaving only the two in the house. The two sat side by side on the sofa in silence, and Lacus rested her head on his shoulder, and he didn¡¯t say anything. 0 ¡°At the end of the year, you need to do something to make sure that Mr. Kira is rated as the best employee of the year. The bonus should also be higher. They don¡¯t have much savings, make sure they can afford the down payment.¡± Lacus said in a very flat tone, ¡°Wait until they buy a house, they will have a sense of belonging to the moon. After that, they won¡¯t want to leave anymore.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I know.¡± 0 ¡°But you and Cagalli don¡¯t get too close, and don¡¯t invite her to the house as I did. You are more attractive than you think, and this relationship is very important to Mr. Kira, don¡¯t give him a sense of crisis.¡± The young girl continued, ¡°You just have to treat Mr. Kira like a normal person, the ordinary attitude is the biggest recognition of his worldview. He will develop a strong sense of gratitude for you as time goes by, so you just need to keep the status and don¡¯t do anything else.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I will.¡± 0 ¡°As for Athrun, I do not recommend you recruit him. Although he is a very good pilot, his character is too weak. And his awkward relationship with Mr. Kira and Mr. Shinn will also affect the harmony of the small group around you.¡± The young girl shifted a bit, trying to get her head to rest more comfortably, ¡°You can return him to Miss Karn for something useful, he is Uncle Zala¡¯s son after all. Before returning him back, you can instill some new ideas in him, as you did to Shinn. It might work someday.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ What I did to Shinn was education, not brainwashing.¡± 0 ¡°But the effect is even better than brainwashing.¡± The young girl raised her eyebrows and looked at him, smiling gently, ¡°And, I made some easy to preserve foods and put them in the refrigerator. Heat them up and you can eat them. Although the taste may not fresh, at least, it¡¯s better than ordering take-out.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ okay.¡± 0 ¡°Even if you order take-out, order them from some high-end restaurants. You don¡¯t need to save money.¡± The young girl¡¯s voice reveals dissatisfaction, ¡°Do not always order pizza, it¡¯s not even better than the nutrient solution. Ade, you will be malnourished if you continue to eat like that.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ hmm.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s all I can think of for now, I¡¯ll email you what I can think of later. Well, it¡¯s not like I¡¯ll never see you again. I have to get up early tomorrow, both of us need to have an early rest.¡± The young girl fondly left his shoulders, stood up, suddenly lowered herself, and gave him a light kiss on his lips, and then revealed a sly smile, ¡°In fact, I have been looking for various reasons to kiss you, Ade, did you found it?¡± 0 Before he answered, the young girl had turned around and walked towards the bathroom. He could not see the expression on the young girl¡¯s face, nor could he see the expression on his own face. 0 All night, he did not sleep well, and when he got up in the morning, he felt drowsy in the head. The atmosphere this morning was slightly depressing, and although Lacus tried to look bright and cheerful, it had little effect. 0 After breakfast, while he was habitually cleaning up the dishes, Lacus had already finished unpacking. Instead of letting Uraki drive today, he planned to drive her to the port himself. After they finished picking up, the two fell into silence in the living room for a while longer. 0 ¡°It¡¯s about time, shall we go?¡± The young girl broke the awkwardness by taking the initiative to pick up her luggage and head for the door, with him following in step. 0 Lacus dragged the suitcase to the entrance door unhurriedly, stretched out her slender left hand to unscrew the door. Artificial sunlight squeezed in through the doorway and spread into the room. Then she froze in place, dumbfounded, and looked back at her right arm being held by another hand much larger than hers. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t play the woman around now, Ade.¡± She bowed her head sideways to him, and her pretty pink hair hung down, covering her expression, ¡°Don¡¯t do that. It¡¯s not your style.¡± 0 ¡°It might be very dangerous to go back. Haman-¡° 0 ¡°Don¡¯t use the same reason you¡¯ve already used.¡± The young girl quickly interrupted him, ¡°Ade, you love to talk logic, don¡¯t you? Don¡¯t say these meaningless words, it¡¯s going to be too late to catch the spaceship.¡± 0 ¡°I haven¡¯t figured out your awakened ability, and you have not cooperated with me to do enough sampling. I will be very uncomfortable if I don¡¯t find it out.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s a strange reason too, isn¡¯t it?¡± The young girl replied in a low voice, ¡°Ade, you must understand what is most important to me and to the moon right now, do you?¡± 0 ¡°But with you gone, there will be no one to cook for me. I don¡¯t want to order take-out or drink the nutrient solution.¡± 0 ¡°Ade, are you a child?¡± The young girl let out a soft laugh, ¡°Don¡¯t be spoiled. It¡¯s not even a reason.¡± 0 He looked at the girl¡¯s face through the gap between her hair, and a wave of feeling, he didn¡¯t know whether it was courage or impulse, rushed to his heart, and he clutched this unknown feeling and stuffed it into his chest, struggling to say the last words. 0 ¡°The agreement is invalid. I renege. I want you to stay.¡± 0 The young girl shuddered as if she had been struck by electricity, then looked up at him. He finally saw the expression on the young girl¡¯s face, it was a big, bright, sun-like dazzling smile. 0 ¡°You deserve to be a NewType.¡± The young girl said something meaningless in a somewhat relieved and somewhat proud tone, and flew into his arms. The impact of the seemingly small body was so great that he was pushed backward until he leaned against the wall of the living room to keep his balance. 0 The young girl bit him hard on the mouth, then tenderly licked the wound she had inflicted, and finally blocked his mouth, claiming the thing she hadn¡¯t even had the courage to ask for before. This time, there was no one to read the seconds, and both of them were a little short of oxygen before they let go of each other. From the girl¡¯s pupils, he saw a burning fire and the burning himself. 0 The young girl opened her lips to make a silent gesture, and the word burned off his last hesitation. 0 ¡°This seems to be the living room again?¡± This was the last thought before he lost his mind. 0 (About two thousand seven hundred words are omitted here) 1 Ade lay panting heavily on the floor of his kitchen as another figure rested helplessly on top of him. Her pretty pink hair was stained with sweat, the tips of which were stuck together. 0 ¡°By the way, the plots in that novel were definitely written by yourself but not copied from the Internet, didn¡¯t you?¡± Now he suddenly thought of something inexplicable, ¡°I just thought several scenes just now looked familiar, it could be that you are recreating the contents of your own novel?¡± 0 ¡°I wrote it with our names, and I replaced the names after writing.¡± Lacus gently pressed her head against his chin, ¡°What? Disillusioned with me?¡± 0 ¡°How could it be?¡± He stretched out his hand and caressed the girl¡¯s smooth back, ¡°Your character has become more vivid, in other words, more charming.¡± 0 Lacus laughed happily and did not say anything. Such exertion was huge even to the Coordinator. The two of them enjoyed the rare quiet moment, and only their breathing could be heard in the room. 0 ¡°¡­ you know, actually I don¡¯t need to go back to PLANT in such a hurry.¡± The young girl drew circles on his chest with her index finger, breaking the quiet, ¡°I did it on purpose, hinting at you in every way possible, deliberately forcing you to take a stand. If I won, I will push you down and do this.¡± 0 He wrapped the young girl¡¯s hair around his fingers and played with it, without answering. 0 ¡°I am such a deep-hearted woman, so Ade, you should not have a heart burden, I will be the bad guy to the end.¡± Lacus propped herself up and looked down at him, her long hair falling down from the sides to her face, ¡°Just leave everything to me. You¡¯re just a silly kid who got tricked by a bad woman, I¡¯ll¨C¡° 0 He suddenly held the young girl¡¯s cheeks, blocking her channel of speech. The young girl let out a whimper of protest, but not a moment later gave up the struggle and started to ask for more. But the position was not very comfortable, and the pair had to let go of each other after a short while. 0 ¡°I know exactly what I¡¯ve done, don¡¯t be the bad guy all by yourself just to comfort me.¡± He laid back down and stretched out his arms to encircle the young girl¡¯s soft body with force, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it was impulsive anymore, I will be responsible for my actions.¡± 0 The young girl let out a long, long breath, her taut body finally relaxed, and leaned into his arms. 0 ¡°Then you go explain to Her Majesty Diana. I have promised her.¡± The young girl said in a spoiled tone. ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say to her, not feeling well?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll explain, no problem.¡± He replied with a smile. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re not feeling well. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡± 0 ¡°By the way, there is one more important thing, very, very important.¡± The young girl braced herself again and seriously locked eyes with him, ¡°Ade, I like you.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Well, you just said that.¡± He felt his heart warming up as if it was filled with something invisible. 0 The young girl relaxed on top of him again, and the two of them snuggled quietly, the heat emanating from their bodies after strenuous exercise and the warmth of the room made it not feel cold at all. 0 After a few moments, he finally remembered something very important, ¡°Did we leave the door open?¡± 0 The two of them scrambled up. Lacus went straight into the bathroom, and after a mess, Ade finally found his clothes under the dining room table and his pants on the sofa next to the TV. He lumped the clothes over his body and walked quickly to the foyer to find the luggage standing quietly by the door, which was fortunately closed. 0 ¡°Lucky.¡± He lamented and carried the luggage back to the living room, picking up the dresses and underwear that Lacus had thrown around. 0 Walking to the bathroom door, he heard the sound of water already ringing inside. He shouted to the inside, ¡°The front door is closed, it¡¯s fine.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s good, I was scared to death.¡± The young girl pulled open a crack of the bathroom door, revealing her head and half of her shoulders, and winked at Ade, ¡°You¡¯ll catch a cold after lying on the floor for so long, hurry up and come take a shower.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Cagalli, why are you back so early?¡± Kira looked at Cagalli who had returned home so early in surprise, and noticed that she still had the gift in her hand, ¡°Didn¡¯t you send the gift? It took you a long time to choose last night.¡± 0 ¡°No, she probably doesn¡¯t need it anymore.¡± Cagalli turned around and pretended to put things away so that Kira wouldn¡¯t see her expression, ¡°Kira, how do you think Lacus and Dr. Lingus usually get along? They must be different from us.¡± 0 Kira thought carefully for a while and gave a serious answer, ¡°Although Dr. Lingus sometimes says some strange things, he is generally a very reliable and gentle person, and the same as Miss Lacus. They should treat each other like guests? Didn¡¯t Miss Lacus say that the last time we visited her?¡± 0 ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s what I always thought too.¡± Cagalli blushed and muttered to herself in a low voice that Kira couldn¡¯t hear, ¡°You can¡¯t judge a man by his appearance. ¡­¡± CH 68 Chapter 68: He Who Regrets to Design Gundam 0 Scientific studies have shown that the human eye cannot cause stress. That is to say, a normal person is unable to tell if someone is staring at him or her from behind. But Ade woke up with the very distinct feeling that someone was watching him, so maybe NT could sense it? He opened his eyes and turned his head, and sure enough, the person beside his pillow was smiling and staring at him. It was only the third day, he found himself already getting used to this. 0 ¡°Good morning, Ade.¡± Lacus planted a quick bite on his face, ¡°You¡¯re finally not squishing my hair today, that¡¯s fast progress.¡± 0 ¡°Morning, Lacus.¡± He replied in a daze. He had insufficient sleep last night and decided once again that he must go to bed early today. Although because for some reason, it¡¯s not likely to achieve. 0 No matter how reluctant he was, he had to get up. There was work to be done today, both for Anaheim and for the government. He was a bit speechless about the fact that he was forced to get up early to go to work, and while brushing his teeth, he silently thought that he must retire before he turned 30 and try to live a life of sleeping until he woke up naturally every day. 0 Of course, before that, the first thing he has to do is to live through the next month. Although he boasted to Lacus, he still did not think of any perfect solution. 0 After breakfast, he went back to his room to pack his things, while Lacus changed her clothes, which she had just bought over the weekend. Now the two are living in one room, with the other room being left unused. 0 ¡°Ade, how is it? Does it look good?¡± Lacus twirled twice in front of him, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve worn this.¡± 0 The young girl wore a lady¡¯s suit and overskirt, and the black socks made her look a little more mature. In fact, it¡¯s difficult to match pink hair with any clothes, but with a high face value, you just can do whatever you want. This was the first time he saw Lacus wearing professional clothes, and he had to say that this outfit was affecting his work efficiency in various means. 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± He replied, pretending to be calm, ¡°It¡¯s pretty good looking. Not bad.¡± 0 The young girl puffed out a laugh, ¡°Ade, you are so bad at acting. But I¡¯m happy with your reaction.¡± 0 When the two packed up and left the house, Uraki was already waiting outside in his car. On the way, Uraki kept peeking at Ade via the rearview mirror with a weird look. 0 ¡°Kou.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t take it anymore, ¡°What do you want to say? Don¡¯t be sneaky and look at me in that creepy way.¡± 0 ¡°Well, hmm ¡­ doctor.¡± Uraki hesitated for a while before he asked, ¡°Does Miss Lacus really become your secretary? The online story has become true?¡± 0 ¡°Lacus is now a free person after the wanting is canceled, right? Isn¡¯t it very normal to find a job?¡± He found Lacus looking at him with a smirk, as if she knew everything, ¡°What strange things did you see on the Internet again? Forget it, don¡¯t tell me, must not good things.¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, you never read the general discussions when you visit the Anaheim forum. right? You can check it out Ninety percent of your numerous memes originated there.¡± Uraki spoke while driving, ¡°Your relationship with Miss Lacus is also spread from here. It¡¯s amazing how a meme becomes true.¡± 0 ¡°My numerous memes?!¡± Ade quickly spotted the key information, ¡°Explain, what do you mean by my numerous memes?¡± 0 ¡°You are the king of memes in the technology world! How could tech geeks don¡¯t play memes?¡± replied Uraki rightfully. 0 ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Ade suddenly realized, ¡°No wonder when I posted, there were often some people commented me with some inexplicable content. So they were playing memes? Wait, I suddenly remember that many people leave comments like ¡®the father¡¯s love is like the ocean¡¯. Were they playing the MS Girl meme?¡± 0 ¡°Uh ¡­¡± Uraki glanced awkwardly at Lacus through the rearview mirror, ¡°This meme is also from Anaheim, but it came from another forum section¡­¡± 0 Ade understood. It¡¯s probably the legendary r18 section. Although he never found out where the entrance address was. It was obviously inappropriate to talk about it in front of Lacus, so he resolutely changed the subject. 0 It didn¡¯t take him much effort to explain to Diana, and Loran looked very happy for him, so that Ade instead felt some embarrassment. Then he directly made Lacus his secretary. Today is Lacus¡¯s first day of work, as for Lucette, she had returned to Anaheim. 0 No matter how to explain it, it¡¯s too wasteful to let a talent like Lucette be the secretary. Because of his identity, no one protested and even Lucette herself didn¡¯t feel anything wrong. 0 And Lacus, he doesn¡¯t need to worry about her. Her talent to be a secretary is enough. Even if he himself unintentionally made any mistakes, he believes that Lacus will be promptly reminded of him. 0 There weren¡¯t many cars on the road and he soon arrived at the office building. Before the car approached the office building, Ade had felt a sickening awareness that spoiled his good mood in the morning. 0 ¡°Scirocco¡­¡± He frowned in displeasure as Lacus looked over worriedly. He took her hand and squeezed it gently to comfort her. 0 Scirocco came to Anaheim to trade the rights of several patents. TITANS is probably trying to develop a new MS, but the reality seems to be less than ideal, now they have to look for outside help. 0 Scirocco has now basically become the most important big shot of TITANS. Although these few technologies are important, it is actually enough to send an officer here. But now he came, and hoped to be entertained by Minister Lingus. 0 When Ade came to the parlor, Scirocco was already waiting inside. In terms of status, Scirocco was higher than Ade, but Ade had a special title and was fighting on the home turf, so he wasn¡¯t afraid of at all. Scirocco stood up and shook his hand, greeted him with a leathery smile, and glanced behind him at Lacus with a grin. 0 ¡°Good day, Dr. Lingus.¡± Scirocco took a seat and Ade followed, ¡°The last time we met, the doctor was still a civilian, but now you are already a minister, and I am only a lieutenant colonel. The gap between people is really unimaginably large.¡± 0 Scirocco was already the leader of TITANS in essence, saying such things were nothing but showing off. Ade felt Scirocco¡¯s undisguised consciousness and understood that he was coming to spike the ball. 0 But Scirocco is already the Earth Federation¡¯s big shot, how will he do such things? However, unlike ordinary people, all NTs are psychopaths, so does Scirocco, and so does Ade. The conflict between the two psychopaths can¡¯t be settled, so Ade doesn¡¯t need to be polite with Scirocco. What¡¯s more, Lacus is watching, so he can¡¯t lose face in front of her. 0 ¡°Lieutenant Colonel Scirocco, you are too polite. You are now in charge of military affairs and finance, you are the big shot of the Federation.¡± Ade gestured to himself mockingly and waved his hand again, ¡°Unlike me, who has nothing.¡± 0 ¡°Doesn¡¯t you still have Miss Clyne?¡± Scirocco glanced again at Lacus sitting next to Ade and smiled wistfully, ¡°Now she is your secretary? What a blessing. Those guys in the Federation will envy you to death. Doctor, have you far-sighted this back in the Torrington base?¡± 0 ¡°No, I¡¯m face-blind, which means I can¡¯t tell who¡¯s pretty or not.¡± Ade turned his head to look at Lacus, the young girl smiled, looking very calm, ¡°To be honest, I chose her as a secretary not because she is beautiful, because I do not know whether she is beautiful or not.¡± 0 Scirocco was speechless and didn¡¯t know how to answer it. After a while, he managed his words again, ¡°Doctor, this time, I¡¯m coming to trade a few technologies that can be used in our latest MS. Although its design has almost been finished, there are still a lot of technical problems. I wonder what advice and insights the doctor has?¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t do multi-tasking like you, Lieutenant Colonel Scirocco.¡± Ade noticed Lacus seemed to be holding back a smile, very stealthy, but deliberately let him find it, ¡°I usually set a small goal that I can reach first, for example, build a Gundam first.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Then building a Gundam is trivial to you, can I understand it that way?¡± Scirocco had a look of indignation on his face. 0 ¡°I won¡¯t say it¡¯s trivial, it¡¯s too cocky.¡± Ade thought for a moment, ¡°It¡¯s moderate to me.¡± 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, it sounds like you despise Gundam.¡± It looks like Scirocco just wants to make big news, ¡°As the father of Gundam, your fans and other technical staff will be sad to hear you say it.¡± 0 ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t despise it. Do you want to hear the truth?¡± Ade sighed and made a painful expression, ¡°The biggest mistake of my life was designing Gundam. ¡° 0 Scirocco stared at him dumbfounded. 0 ¡°I never thought Gundam would change my life completely, I just wanted to make some small inventions, but I never thought it would have such a big impact and bring me so many responsibilities and challenges that I don¡¯t even have a life of my own anymore.¡± Ade shook his head helplessly, ¡°If I can go back to the past, I would not have made the same choice. I would just be myself and enjoy my own life.¡± 0 Scirocco probably had never seen such a shameless person in his life, and didn¡¯t know how to answer, and the atmosphere here became very awkward. Thanks to Lacus, who started another topic later, the conversation ended quickly in an unpleasant atmosphere. Scirocco didn¡¯t look in a good mood when he left, and Ade was very happy. 0 Of course, it was just a private grievance between Scirocco and him, and it didn¡¯t affect the specific negotiation matters. 0 After that, Ade took Lacus to his minister¡¯s office, a very large room located on the upper floor, elegantly decorated and soundproofed. He usually came here one day a week, and such a large room was a luxury for him. The room had a large sofa just like in his office in Anaheim, which he used for his siesta. 0 After entering the room and closing the door, Lacus finally couldn¡¯t stop herself from jumping on Ade and laughing out loud. 0 ¡°Come on, is it so funny?¡± He patted Lacus¡¯s back, ¡°Enough, you¡¯ll choke with laughter.¡± 0 ¡°Ade you¡¯re so funny, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen you like this.¡± The young girl looked up at him and laughed so hard that her face turned red, ¡°Did you come up with these lines yourself? I¡¯m going to write them in the novel.¡± 0 ¡°No, copied, I¡¯m not that shameless.¡± He switched to another topic he was interested in, ¡°Are you still writing that novel? I thought you have given up. What about the new chapters? Bring them all to me after we get home today. I want to see the Mineva plot.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ lolicon?¡± Lacus looked down at herself, then looked up at him alertly, ¡°That¡¯s a crime, Ade, isn¡¯t it enough to have me?¡± 0 ¡°You, you, how can you defile my innocence?¡± 0 ¡°Just teasing you, take it easy.¡± The young girl kissed him gently on the lips, stretched out her fingers to press on his cheek, ¡°After sending Scirocco away, there is nothing to do today. Ade, you can lie on the sofa for a while. You must not sleep well last night. You need to go to bed early from now on, after all, you are not a Coordinator, your body has limits. Look, you have had very light dark circles under the eyes.¡± 0 No no no, the culprit is not qualified to say such things, right? But he only thought about it in his heart. 0 ¡°There is another option: finish off the evening activities now, so that you can sleep early tonight.¡± The young girl reached over and exhaled in his ear, ¡°Ade, please tell me honestly, what do you think of this idea?¡± 0 CH 69 Chapter 69: True ¡¤ Father¡¯s Love Is Like a Mountain 0 Char missed Mineva very much. 0 He had been under house arrest since he was betrayed by Haman and had been living a life with no worry of food but can¡¯t access the Internet for some time now. During this time, Haman would visit him once a week, telling him what was happening recently, but that was all. 0 And he hasn¡¯t seen Mineva since then. According to Haman, she was going to raise Mineva as an heir and study and live in another place, but this was completely contrary to his own ideas. He just wants his daughter to stay away from politics and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, he can¡¯t even protect himself now. When he finds a chance, he must save his daughter at all costs. 0 The maids had just taken away the dishes after dinner, and the period between now and bedtime was difficult to endure. Just as he was thinking of what to do to pass the time, the door was opened again and a blond man appeared in the doorway. The man was wearing the white ZAFT uniform, the collar was altered to cover all the skin in the neck area, his face was covered with a full overlay mask, and his hands were gloved. 0 ¡°Creuset, are you coming to laugh at me?¡± Char sneered and sat down in his seat with no intention of standing up. 0 ¡°Your Excellency, what are you talking about? You were my idol.¡± Creuset walked in as if nothing had happened and surveyed the room¡¯s d¨¦cor, ¡°Speaker Karn is also considered benevolent, it¡¯s called house arrest, but it¡¯s actually more luxurious than my private residence.¡± 0 ¡°Alright, no need to pretend to be polite.¡± Char interrupted Creuset impatiently, ¡°What do you want from me? Just say it. Don¡¯t tell me Haman sent you, that would be an insult to my intelligence.¡± 0 ¡°Then I¡¯ll just put it straight.¡± Creuset pulled a chair and sat down across from Char, ¡°I am interested in Mr. Aznable¡¯s purpose of breaking the ecology of the Earth, and I am willing to help you. I can help you get out of prison and regain your dreams.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, would you have me believe a shameless villain¡¯s words?¡± Char was expressionless, ¡°If that¡¯s all you have to say, then you can go back, and I¡¯ll tell Haman everything that happens here truthfully.¡± 0 ¡°You don¡¯t have to believe me, and you don¡¯t have to care what purpose I have. I¡¯m useful to you, and that¡¯s enough. I have always heard that Char Aznable is a man of great skill and unscrupulousness.¡± Creuset¡¯s expression was invisible, but his voice was full of confidence, ¡°As a good faith, we can go first to save Miss Mineva. If you don¡¯t trust me, you should still have beloved people in PLANT who can be entrusted to send her to a safe place, such as to Lingus whom you trust the most.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ With just the two of us?¡± 0 ¡°I have my own people in ZAFT, and there are some fanatics left by former Speaker Zala, and Your Excellency, you are also not alone, right?¡± Creuset hid his smug smile behind his mask, ¡°Just like how I got into this room, we¡¯ll use the same method to get into Miss Mineva¡¯s room and take her away before dawn, all before Speaker Karn finds out.¡± 0 Char hesitated for a moment, and then his worry for his daughter gradually comes out on top. Most importantly, he had the confidence that he would not be used by Creuset again. 0 ¡°First, let me see your sincerity.¡± 0 Ten minutes later, Char, who was disguised as a soldier, got into Creuset¡¯s car and hid in the trunk. Creuset had obviously done everything beforehand. After the two got out of the danger zone, they rushed to another satellite in a pre-arranged military ship, and finally arrived at the outskirts of a mansion at midnight. 0 ¡°Wait, there¡¯s a NewType, we might have been spotted.¡± Char alertly called out to Creuset, ¡°This feeling, Amuro? No. Is it Lingus? No, it can¡¯t be. Could it be Haman?¡± 0 ¡°¡­it¡¯s Glemy Toto.¡± 0 Creuset parked the car and led Char over the wall of the courtyard through a dead end of the camera. Both of them are excellent pilots, and this is naturally not a problem for them. The back door of the mansion was not locked, and there was no maid still wandering around in the middle of the night, so the two arrived at Mineva¡¯s room without being found by anyone. Peeping through the gap in the door, the light was still on, and Char could clearly sense that Glemy Toto was inside, but Creuset opened the door very casually. 0 ¡°You¡¯re finally here.¡± Glemy looked at Creuset and then at Char, ¡°It¡¯s too late, I¡¯m going to bed.¡± 0 With Char¡¯s shocked gaze, Glemy just left the room without a word and disappeared into the darkness at the end of the hallway. Only one thought ran through Char¡¯s mind: so Haman¡¯s men are all like him? 0 But a second later, he forgot about Haman and walked quickly into the inner bedroom, where Mineva was lying asleep on the bed, and her lovely sleeping face looked like an angel. Unfortunately, there was no time to enjoy it, he had to send Mineva away before Haman found it, and he painfully woke up the little girl. 0 At this moment, he was very glad that he protected Mineva very well before. The existence of the little girl is only an urban legend for the vast majority of people, and only a few people have seen her real face. 0 ¡°Uncle Char?¡± Mineva shouted in a daze, stretching out her fleshy little hands to rub her eyes. 0 ¡°Mineva, I know you¡¯re the smartest girl I¡¯ve ever known.¡± He listened to the ¡°uncle¡± she called him and his heart twitched inwardly, ¡°We don¡¯t have much time left, let me explain ¡­¡± 0 ¡­ 0 The next day at noon, the staff of the immigration office of the lunar capital cosmic port found a little girl wandering outside the entry office alone. The enthusiastic staff repeatedly asked the little girl if she was lost with her parents, but the little girl just kept shaking her head and not talking, and there were no clues in the surveillance. Finally, with the help of another female staff, they found a photo of a young man in the little girl¡¯s pocket with a line scribbled on the back: Please take care of my little girl. 0 ¡°This man looks so familiar.¡± The male staff looked at the photo and pondered, ¡°I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve seen it somewhere.¡± 0 ¡°Are you stupid? This is Dr. Lingus!¡± The female staff called up excitedly, ¡°The one who was on TV, our Minister of Science and Technology. Remember?¡± 0 ¡°Oh, yes, yes, yes!¡± The male staff suddenly realized, then lowered his voice and said, ¡°Should we go to contact the reporter about this news?¡± 0 ¡°He just took a beautiful female secretary, and then his daughter has come to the door. Are you trying to set a fire to find the reporter? He is the Minister of Science and Technology! It¡¯s not something we can deal with.¡± The female staff hit him hard on the head, ¡°Just throw this trouble to our boss.¡± 0 Mineva looked at the two people in front of her expressionlessly and vaguely understood that they were helping her to find someone. She needed to find this Uncle Ade in the photo as instructed by Char, who had something important to do, and asked this Uncle Ade to take care of her for a while. She doesn¡¯t like Uncle Glemy, and she doesn¡¯t like Aunt Haman either. She is a bit resistant to coming to the strange moon, but she is glad to leave her original place and she trusts Uncle Char. He won¡¯t harm her. 0 Although Mineva is slightly autistic, she can vaguely sense who is nice to her and who doesn¡¯t like her, an ability that even Char doesn¡¯t know. In her perception, Char is the only person who is genuinely nice to her; the others either don¡¯t care about her, pretend to care about her, or hate her. 0 She was placed in an empty room and dutifully waited for some more time, during which she ate a lunch given to her by the staff. Mineva was brave and didn¡¯t feel scared at all. In the afternoon, the Uncle Ade in the photo finally arrived, followed by a beautiful aunt. 0 Ade looked at the back of the photo repeatedly, and carefully measured Mineva for a while, thinking for a moment, and then suddenly sighed, ¡°What¡¯s my image in your eyes? Why all of you think¡­ sigh.¡± 0 He squatted down and looked at Mineva, grabbed her small hand and shook it decently, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the Adrien Lingus you¡¯re looking for, nice to meet you. May I ask if you are Mineva?¡± 0 Mineva still didn¡¯t say anything, but just nodded her head forcefully. She had a keen sense that this uncle was good and had a gentle aura about him that made her want to be close. 0 ¡°Did Char say anything?¡± Ade added after a moment¡¯s thought, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to talk, I¡¯ll ask you and you can just nod or shake your head. Don¡¯t be nervous, Mineva, you¡¯re safe here.¡± 0 ¡°¡­Uncle Char said he had something important to do.¡± It was the first time Mineva spoke since she and Char parted ways yesterday, ¡°He said Uncle Ade would take care of me.¡± 0 ¡°Why does Char think so? Aren¡¯t we on opposite sides?¡± Ade complained in a low voice, then said to Mineva in as gentle a tone as he could manage, ¡°So, would you like to stay at my house for now? I¡¯ll send you back when Char comes to pick you up.¡± 0 ¡°Hm! Hm!¡± Mineva finally showed a smile and nodded her head vigorously. 0 ¡°Lacus, sorry.¡± Ade made an apologetic expression to the young girl behind him, ¡°We¡¯ll discuss this with His Highness Loran afterward, but I think it will still be this result. We might have to take one more member in the family for now.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, I like children too.¡± Lacus squatted down too, looking at Mineva with a smile on her face, ¡°Hello, Mineva, my name is Lacus Clyne, I¡¯m living with Ade now, welcome to our home.¡± 0 Mineva looked at Lacus with an expressionless face. She could sense that this aunt didn¡¯t like her, just like Aunt Haman. She was only pretending to like her. She still preferred Uncle Ade to this aunt. 0 Although Mineva didn¡¯t answer her, Lacus did not look embarrassed at all. She naturally turned her head to Ade, ¡°Mineva is very scared, it seems that she is only willing to talk to you. You will have to take care of her later. Ade, can I say you deserve to be a NewType? You just get what you want!¡± 0 ¡°¡­NT doesn¡¯t have that kind of function, and I didn¡¯t really want it.¡± He looked at Mineva and said to her, ¡°Say hello to this Aun¡­, no, sister. You will be living together in the future.¡± 0 Mineva hesitated for a long time and finally reluctantly called out, ¡°Sister Lacus.¡± Lacus happily agreed. 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the place where you¡¯re going to live, shall we?¡± Ade took Mineva¡¯s small hand and found her reluctantly walking around, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mineva? Don¡¯t want to?¡± 0 ¡°Uncle Char will hug me all the time.¡± Mineva looked at him with expectation. 0 Ade looked at Lacus helplessly, took a deep breath, and picked Mineva up. The little girl in his arms was about six years old, probably about twenty kilos. He could withstand the weight. 0 When they got home, Ade entrusted Mineva to Lacus and went to Loran himself. Lacus kept talking to Mineva enthusiastically and singing to her, but Mineva did not make any response from the beginning to the end. It wasn¡¯t until dinner time that Ade returned, and before he opened his mouth, Lacus read from his expression that Mineva was really going to stay at their house. 0 Loran, as long as the country¡¯s interests are not being violated, is a good man with overwhelming love. He was very sympathetic to Mineva¡¯s plight and strongly supported Ade to adopt her. After Ade told Lacus Loran¡¯s decision, the young girl made an ¡°as I expected¡± expression. 0 ¡°Fortunately Char did a good job, Mineva¡¯s picture didn¡¯t expose on the Internet, but she is actually his ¡­ she seems to not know it.¡± Ade compassionately held Mineva to his lap, and Mineva intimately rubbed, ¡°We decided to let her go to the government-run school, s she needs to have a fake name. How about to call her Tang Xiaomei?¡± 0 Lacus looked at him speechlessly. 0 ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll think of an appropriate name.¡± He pretended to think for a while, ¡°Audrey Burne?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t that a good name? Why is the first one so strange?¡± Lacus inclined her head, ¡°But it¡¯s not weird for your style, I think.¡± 0 After that, it was dinner time. Mineva did not like Aunt Lacus, but she liked Aunt Lacus¡¯s cooking. After dinner, Uncle Ade played with her for a long time and talked a lot of things to her. Uncle Char said that Uncle Ade is a good man, Mineva also thinks so, so she told him everything she knew, but after all, she is just a child, and she can¡¯t describe many things clearly. 0 Before going to bed, Aunt Lacus helped her take a bath, Uncle Ade dried her hair, and then let her sleep in a room by herself. Although Mineva was a little scared, she agreed because Uncle Ade would tell her a story before she slept. No one had ever told her a story before. 0 Ade dug out a fairy tale from the depths of his memory, and sat by the bed and told it to Mineva until she slept. In all conscience, Mineva was very cute and adorable. When he went back to his room, Lacus was already lying down, and he followed her to bed. 0 ¡°Is the little princess finally asleep?¡± Lacus was still awake, turning over to look at him, ¡°Ade, you are very abnormal today. She is after all Aznable¡¯s daughter, and you gave your promise too quick.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I don¡¯t know how to explain it, it¡¯s just a feeling, an intimacy that comes out of nothing, something like NT resonance. Mineva probably feels the same way as me, she has the potential to be a NewType.¡± He came up and kissed the slightly disgruntled young girl, ¡°I apologize for upsetting you.¡± 0 ¡°Not upset, I also like children¡¯s, just a little worried about you. But you¡¯re the uncle and I¡¯m the sister, you seem to be a generation older than me all of a sudden?¡± Lacus breathed softly in his ear, ¡°Uncle Ade?¡± 0 Just when he thought he couldn¡¯t sleep well again today, the bedroom door was pushed open and Mineva, who should have been asleep, stood pitifully in the doorway, clutching a pillow, ¡°Uncle Ade, I¡¯m afraid.¡± 0 CH 70 Chapter 70: ¡°Old Drivers¡± Never Brake 0 This morning, the Lingus house was a little more lively than usual. Lacus was preparing breakfast for three, while Ade was teaching Mineva to brush her teeth. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t swallow, spit out the bubbles in your mouth.¡± Ade watched Mineva spit out the toothpaste bubbles and stroked Mineva¡¯s little head, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Not bad for an elementary school student. So smart.¡± 0 Mineva smiled and looked at herself in the mirror with the white toothpaste foam still in the corner of her mouth. She rubbed the top of her head against Ade¡¯s big hand with an expression of enjoyment. After that, she learned how to wash her face, and Ade did not spare his praise, and the little girl was even happier. 0 According to the little girl, although Char loves her very much, he has been very busy and doesn¡¯t have time to take care of her. Aunt Haman treated her like a princess, and let maids do all kinds of things for her. The result is that the little girl, although she is six years old, doesn¡¯t know how to brush her teeth and wash her face and dress. However, she had finished most of the courses of the elementary school. 0 The little girl has NT qualities, sensitive to the attitudes of people around her. In this complex environment, she is cultivated a very intelligent, but also more precocious personality. The best indication of this is that she can already call herself Audrey outside while remembering that she is also called Mineva, something that should be very difficult for a child of this age. 0 Yesterday, Minister Lingus just opened his mouth, and his men had already done all kinds of formalities fr Audrey. Now, the little girl is his adopted daughter ¨C Audrey Lingus. Today is her first day of school and she has been placed in the best first-grade class at Anaheim Annex. If Char does not intend to take her back, she will probably go to Anaheim Annex High School after that. 0 Lacus is concerned about Mineva¡¯s autism, but Ade doesn¡¯t feel the same way. Mineva is a very smart child, the reason for her autism is mainly because of Haman and Char¡¯s education, and she had no friends of the same age. As long as she gets used to the environment, she will soon be able to get better. 0 After freshening up, Mineva sat down at the table and breakfast was ready. She dutifully waited until all three were seated before starting. 0 ¡°Although you may know everything the teacher is talking about, you still have to pretend to listen carefully in class so that the teacher will like you.¡± Ade took advantage of the breakfast time to impart tips to her in a serious manner, ¡°As long as the teacher likes you, the other kids will follow, and then you can do whatever you want.¡± 0 ¡°Well, hmm.¡± Mineva nodded her head vigorously while chewing the food in her mouth. 0 ¡°Ade, what are you teaching her?¡± Lacus sighed, ¡°It¡¯s not good to teach that to a first-grader, right? And she probably won¡¯t even understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate her. She is brought up by Karn, she understands what I¡¯m talking about. She is a smart child, it¡¯s better to tell her everything directly.¡± Ade reached out and wiped the crumbs of food off the corner of Mineva¡¯s mouth with his fingers, ¡°That¡¯s how I dealt with my fellow teachers back in the day. It¡¯s all in my experience.¡± 0 ¡°Ade, weren¡¯t you self-taught?¡± Lacus looked at him in confusion, ¡°I don¡¯t remember you going to school in your resume, right?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Yeah¡­ oh, I didn¡¯t go to school on the moon.¡± His voice gradually lowered, ¡°Back in the day, when was that ¡­¡± 0 Lacus looked at Ade with concern. Sometimes, he would make such a look as if he was nostalgic and as if he was despondent, but she had no idea why, nor did she know how to comfort him. Does ¡°that woman¡± know? 0 At that moment, Mineva suddenly jumped down from the chair and stretched out her short arms to hug Ade¡¯s waist, ¡°Uncle Ade, don¡¯t be sad.¡± 0 ¡°Hey?¡± Ade came back to his senses, then hugged Mineva back to his seat and rubbed her soft cheek affectionately, ¡°I¡¯m not sad anymore, thank you, Mineva.¡± 0 Mineva looked at him and blinked her big eyes and nodded as if she understood something. Lacus looked at them with a complicated expression, not knowing how to insert herself into it. 0 ¡°Mineva, you must retaliate back if you¡¯re bullied by a classmate.¡± Ade broke away from that inexplicable emotion just now and continued to impart the experience, ¡°After retaliating, wait for the teacher to come and then you can start to cry, so that the teacher will favor your side and preconceived that you are aggrieved.¡± 0 Mineva listened so intently that she forgot to eat. 0 ¡°Although I don¡¯t think any parent on the moon would be stupid enough to let their children bully the famous Lingus¡¯ child, nor would any teacher be stupid enough to favor the bully, just in case, you still need to master these tricks.¡± Ade coughed, ¡°In short, do not bully nor be bullied. Our Mineva is a lady, it is best to make friends with all the other children, such as talking to them about cartoons and so on.¡± 0 ¡°But,¡± Mineva squirmed uneasily in place, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen any cartoons.¡± 0 ¡°¡­What did Haman Karn do!¡± Ade slapped the table irritably and the little girl was startled, ¡°It¡¯s okay, if the other kids say something to you that you haven¡¯t seen, just answer ¡®Why don¡¯t you ask the magic conch?¡¯ They will certainly ask you what the magic conch is, and then you can tell them the story of SpongeBob SquarePants that I told you. they must not have heard of it.¡± 0 ¡°Stop, you¡¯re going to be late.¡± Lacus said helplessly, ¡°Aznable will surely regret to let you take care of Mineva.¡± 0 Mineva lowered her head after hearing Lacus¡¯s voice and began to eat breakfast quietly. Ade doesn¡¯t know what had happened between them in the past two days, but he felt that Mineva was a bit afraid of Lacus. The three packed up after the meal, went out together, and Uraki was waiting for them at the door. 0 ¡°Audrey, good morning.¡± Uraki cheerfully greeted the little girl. 0 ¡°Uncle Uraki, good.¡± Mineva also greeted back politely. 0 In the past two days, Ade introduced Mineva to all his acquaintances, and everyone looked liked Mineva, but the only ones who would talk t her were Uraki and Cagalli, and she treated these two better than Lacus. As for the reason, Ade had a vaguely guess in mind. 0 In the car, Mineva consciously sat between Ade and Lacus, just as she always did, and Lacus kept a smile on her face. When she arrived at school, she didn¡¯t shrink back and entered the door directly. It seems that Haman¡¯s education is not entirely without merit. 0 Ade is not much worried about Mineva in the school. From the principal to the teachers, he had asked all of them t take care of Mineva but don¡¯t treat her special, in case that other children would crowd her out. 0 Ade as a senior official, a researcher whose name can be written into the history books, the principal and teachers feel nervous to talk to him. At this time, Lacus played her affinity, there were many teachers whose families were her fans, and she signed for all of them. 0 After that, Ade and Lacus left, and Lacus told him the day¡¯s schedule on the way. She is a perfect secretary, and the only problem is that he has zero privacy time now. He can never find excuses such as ¡°I have a meeting today¡±, ¡°I need to work overtime¡±, ¡°my friends looking for me for dinner¡±, and etc. Ade¡¯s every minute is in the girl¡¯s hands now. 0 Thanks to Mineva, he can finally sleep well at night, but the noon nap is still canceled. No matter what, this frequency is too much, Ade has begun to feel a little problematic, and he does not feel as if the young girl is enjoying herself, but rather as if she is doing something for the sake of doing something. Several times, he tried to have a good talk with Lacus, but she subtly stopped his words every time. 0 ¡°You¡¯re going to see Athrun in the afternoon according to the schedule. I¡¯ll wait outside and not go in with you.¡± During the lunch break, Lacus sat next to Ade and talked to him, ¡°You can ask Mr. Kira to go with you. He looks like he has a knot in his heart, and doing so should increase his goodwill.¡± 0 ¡°Hmm, but you really don¡¯t want to see him?¡± He asked casually, ¡°After all, he and you actually have no direct grudge, and you look like you knew each other well before. Didn¡¯t he give you a present on your birthday?¡± 0 ¡°I knew Athrun before we met, but we have no other relationships apart from that. Jealous?¡± Lacus came to his ear and whispered, ¡°Then what do I have to do to make you feel more at ease?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t mean that. Let¡¯s talk like normal people for a while, ok?¡± Ade alertly pulled away from the young girl and sat up straight. No matter what happens today, he won¡¯t let the situation go on, ¡°Lacus, you are not quite right lately. I admit that you are too attractive to me, and I do not have much self-control every time, but even so, I have noticed that you are not acting normal.¡± 0 ¡°Are you getting tired of me so quickly?¡± Lacus made a sad expression. 0 ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I meant.¡± He looked at the young girl and felt sad in his heart, ¡°Is it because of Mineva? After all, she is Aznable¡¯s daughter, I can understand that you do not like her. Or is it that the interaction between NTs makes you feel disconnected? That¡¯s not true either, it feels like it started much earlier. Anyway, can you tell me why? Don¡¯t continue to force yourself. I feel sad for you.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ feel sad? This is the first time you¡¯ve said that.¡± The young girl put away her seductive posture and quieted down, after a while, she slowly hugged him and buried her face in his arms, ¡°I¡¯m happy to hear you say that.¡± 0 ¡°Can you talk to me about it?¡± He gently stroked the young girl¡¯s long hair, ¡°If there are any problems, we can solve them together.¡± 0 The young girl did not answer, and he did not rush, but just quietly waited for her to speak. He knew she would try to communicate, with Lacus¡¯s perfect acting skills, there was no way he could spot the breakage. Since he could tell something was wrong, it must be because she wanted him to see it. 0 ¡°¡­ I¡¯m upset.¡± Lacus hid her face in his chest, ¡°You said that you want me to stay, although I was happy, it was because of my half-cajoling, half-deception tactics, right? After seeing your interaction with Mineva, I think that kind of you is the real you, and then I feel even more uneasy.¡± 0 ¡°¡­¡± 0 ¡°Others may think that it was Ade you who pursued me, but I know I¡¯m the person who is getting more and more from you. I was giving too much and I¡¯m not being able to pay back, that makes me even more upset.¡± Lacus¡¯s voice was calm, ¡°The life now seems to be as happy as a dream, and I wish it could last forever, but no matter what tricks I play, it only seems to make the dream wake up earlier. I can¡¯t think of a better way than to do that.¡± 0 A very simple reason, a very simple solution, the moment she said it, he was suddenly enlightened. 0 ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s my fault that I make you feel uneasy.¡± He stretched out his arms to hug the young girl hard, ¡°There is no need to play any more tricks, you have given me enough, so much that I do not know how to live without you. Your previous ploy has worked perfectly, I¡¯ve got Lacus dependency, no matter what happens, I can¡¯t leave you.¡± 0 Lacus was silent for a while, then laughed softly, ¡°It¡¯s not very convincing for someone who has already reneged on an important agreement to say such things. But I can¡¯t help it, I¡¯m too soft-hearted for you, let me believe you once more. By the way, Ade, you are getting more and more skilled in coaxing girls. Can you please return that dull Ade to me?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not pure anymore after being coached by you.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, it seems to be the fault of me. I¡¯m really a bad woman.¡± The young girl raised her head from his arms, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, ¡°Seriously, not a bit of jealousy about Athrun? Not even a little bit ever? Ade, I¡¯m already so unattractive to you?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ a little bit, but only for a moment. ¡° 0 ¡°Sigh, since you say so, what am I gonna do with you?¡± Lacus came up to his ear and whispered, ¡°So what do I have to do to reassure you a little?¡± 0 ¡°Uh, why is the topic coming back around? All that talk just now for nothing?¡± 0 ¡°Please Dr. Lingus answers such a simple question by himself. And I won¡¯t be going there in the afternoon. You can try to think of an excuse to explain my absence and tardiness, as the compensation for you making me uneasy for so long.¡± The young girl glanced at the time, and her voice raised with joy, ¡°So we still have a lot of time, Ade, give you one last chance, what do I have to do to make you feel more at ease?¡± 0 ¡­ 0 When he arrived at Athrun¡¯s room in the afternoon, Athrun had been waiting for him for a long time. He had also invited Kira, and although he was ultimately rejected, Kira was indeed grateful for his invitation, as Lacus had expected. 0 ¡°Minister Lingus, does Your Excellency know how late you are? Is this the attitude of a Lunar government official to do business?¡± Athrun recently encountered many things, it is justifiable for him to be a little sensitive, ¡°Also, about that data disk you gave me before, there are 20G e-books in it! Is this the amount a human can finish reading in his life?!¡± 0 CH 71 Chapter 71: Inherit the Stars 0 Sinanju landed steadily on the ground, the cockpit opened, and the soldiers on two sides applauded enthusiastically at Lieutenant Colonel Scirocco who walked out of the cockpit. The applause didn¡¯t stop until Scirocco waved his hand, then everyone stood at attention. 0 Just like Brigadier Hymem, the rank has no meaning to the warlord. There are many colonels and generals present, but at this moment, they have to behave respectfully to Scirocco all the same. 0 ¡°Now, I declare that the final commissioning of Sinanju is successfully completed.¡± Everyone started clapping again, and Scirocco raised his hands to stop them, ¡°The valuable experience gained on Sinanju will become our strength and play an immeasurable role in the next stage of research, and help us achieve our ultimate purpose.¡± 0 Everyone began to applaud again, and Kamille Bidan standing at the end of the crowd did not applaud, but instead muttered in a low voice, ¡°It was me who was doing the testing work, and now it became as if he was taking credit for it. What a cunning adult.¡± 0 ¡°Kamille!¡± Lieutenant Emma Sheen, who was standing beside him, scolded him in a stern whisper, ¡°What are you doing on this occasion? Want to be confined again?¡± 0 Kamille tried to say something, but gave up in the end and applauded along with others. 0 ¡°With the successful example of Sinanju, I believe that the successful development of Gundam will only be a matter of time. At that time, we will announce to the world that the powerful Gundam is not Anaheim¡¯s, nor some certain person¡¯s monopoly.¡± Scirocco at this time secretly cursed ¡°a certain person¡± in his heart, ¡°Thank you all for your contribution in this project, and I hope you will continue to work harder and create more glory.¡± 0 Far away on the moon, Ade¡¯s NT radar didn¡¯t have any response, but Kamille immediately felt the malice. He whispered to Emma beside him, ¡°Lieutenant Emma, Colonel Scirocco seems to hate Dr. Lingus very much?¡± 0 ¡°Shhh!¡± Emma glared at him, ¡°Be serious, this is not the time for gossip.¡± 0 ¡°Of course, in addition to you, I would like to give a special thanks to a friend in PLANT who does not want to reveal his name.¡± Scirocco gave a chuckle, ¡°He sent us the Neutron Jammer Canceller, which solved the most important energy problem.¡± 0 Everyone laughed. Now TITANS has obtained the Neutron Jammer Canceller technology and has no intention of sharing this technology with other countries of the Earth Federation. With this leverage, no one can shake Scirocco¡¯s position now. 0 After that, Scirocco continued and finally finished his speech twenty minutes later, then Scirocco and his men went to the celebration banquet. 0 ¡°Lieutenant Colonel, are we really doing to use the core system directly?¡± One of the technical cadres came up to Scirocco at the celebration banquet, asking him about the next stage, ¡°Is it okay to use this unknown system? As a researcher, I can¡¯t agree with this approach.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s the sponsor¡¯s request, and it¡¯s a researcher¡¯s quality to properly meet the sponsor¡¯s request.¡± This person is quite important in the research team, so Scirocco had to explain to him patiently, ¡°Using this NewType-Drive system is the only requirement provided by the sponsor, more precisely, this whole project exists to implement this system.¡± 0 The researcher nodded in understanding, thanked him, and walked away. Actually, Scirocco was also skeptical about this, a stranger suddenly came up with a mature NT-Drive system just to help him improve his combat power? He is not that naive. 0 ¡°Is this NT-D system having a function that I don¡¯t know about?¡± He frowned and muttered to himself. 0 Meanwhile, people who weren¡¯t invited to the celebration banquet went back to work, they had no such thing as a half-day vacation. Kamille had no more tasks for the time being and was wandering around with nothing to do, then he was called by Emma to a room. 0 ¡°Kamille, there is an important thing I need to tell you.¡± Emma looked at him seriously, ¡°I¡¯m going to be transferred to a classified mission and will be away for a while. No one will be taking care of you anymore, so you need to learn to grow up and stop getting into trouble and being confined.¡± 0 ¡°Hey, how can you do that?¡± Kamille couldn¡¯t take it, ¡°Why? Isn¡¯t Lieutenant Emma doing a good job here? Why should you go on some classified mission? The so-called classified mission must be dangerous, right? Can¡¯t you refuse it?¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t say that there is danger or not, but the mission is confidential and I can¡¯t tell you more details.¡± Emma comforted him and softened her voice a little, ¡°Obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, there is no room for change.¡± 0 ¡°This is too unreasonable!¡± 0 ¡°The army is the place of unreasonable, don¡¯t be capricious, Kamille.¡± Emma shook her head helplessly, ¡°Since you¡¯ve become a member of it, you have to follow its rules. Not everyone will treat you like me.¡± 0 ¡°What a member? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m in this shithole because I want to be! If it wasn¡¯t for that man ¡­ I wouldn¡¯t have that kind of father!¡± Kamille waved his fist hatefully, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll just go to hack it myself. TITANS¡¯ computer system is like a sieve, I can figure out this so-called secret mission in a minute.¡± 0 Snap¡­ 0 Emma slapped him with a serious look, ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re talking about, Kamille? This is not funny and you will go to the court-martial if you do that. You¡¯re playing with your life.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, be an adult, right? Lieutenant Emma, you¡¯ve said that many times.¡± Kamille was very calm about the fact that he had been slapped, as if he was used to it, ¡°I know. I¡¯m just talking and I won¡¯t really do it.¡± 0 After saying that, he turned around and left the room, leaving Emma standing in place with a complicated look on her face. 0 ¡°A court-martial? There¡¯s no way that¡¯s going to happen.¡± He muttered in a low voice in a deserted place, ¡°This plan is so important, and I am the only NT available, how can I be court-martialed. At most, I¡¯ll be put in confinement, I¡¯ve seen through the tactics of these adults.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°I¡¯ve seen through your tactics.¡± Athrun sneered at Ade, ¡°Trying to brainwash me with these books, are you? It¡¯s a pity that the highly educated me will not be brainwashed by such simple means.¡± 0 Ade wanted to laugh at him with the fact that he had been brainwashed by Char, but saying it at this time would only anger Athrun. So he just thought about it in his heart and didn¡¯t say it. 0 ¡°No, I didn¡¯t expect you to read all of them, and it is simply not realistic to finish reading all of them.¡± Ade fished out another data disk from his pocket and handed it to Athrun, ¡°Here¡¯s a paper with ten expository questions. I¡¯ll come back and check it after two weeks, and if your answer can make me satisfied, you can go back to PLANT. Those books are reference materials to help you answer the questions.¡± 0 ¡°Hum? Can I go back?¡± The sudden good news made Athrun show a stunned expression, and then he lowered his head sadly, ¡°But my father is dead, he is no longer there, and Aznable-sama is also missing. Where am I going back to? There is no place for me to go back.¡± 0 ¡°Even if Speaker Zala is gone, your home is still there, right? PLANT is still your homeland, right? How can you say that there is no place for you to go back?¡± Ade said with a serious look, ¡°Is what you have experienced and learned all this time in vain? We don¡¯t need any destinations. We just need to keep moving forward. As long as you don¡¯t stop, the road will continue.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ That¡¯s right, Doctor, you¡¯re right, I¡¯m not going to stop.¡± The words made Athrun ponder for a long time, and then he looked up, ¡°Just finish these questions, right? But how do I know what kind of answer you want?¡± 0 ¡°As long as the answers are reasonable and self-explanatory, you don¡¯t have to care what I want. First of all, you need to convince yourself.¡± Ade replied indifferently, which was what he had been asking of Shinn, ¡°Getting the answer is not the point, the point is to help you strengthen the ability to think logically and judge right from wrong.¡± 0 Confirming that Athrun had finally accepted the status quo, Ade left and go to Loran. By the way, this paper was designed by Shinn. Ade himself doesn¡¯t have the time to do this. 0 In addition to Mineva, Hi-¦Í-Gundam¡¯s design has also reached the final stage, which requires him to do the final communication with Londo Bell, including but not limited to some fine-tuning of the MS according to Amuro¡¯s operating habits. 0 In addition to that, Hyzenthlays¡¯ repair is nearing completion, and although he felt it unpropitious, he stuffed a psycho-frame into his cockpit following Amuro¡¯s advice. He searched it carefully on the Internet, there was not a satellite or anything else called Axis. To take a step back, even if there really is a satellite falling down from the sky, he will not go to push it back. His home is on the moon. 0 This time, he had actually communicated with Haman beforehand. No matter what happens two weeks later, he will send Athrun back. He was actually here to officially inform Athrun that he can go home after two weeks. The paper is purely to help Athrun raise his IQ, as well as to satisfy his own bad taste. 0 ¡°But Speaker Karn is a little too kind to us.¡± Loran looked at him with a complicated expression, ¡°You¡¯ll be happy with today¡¯s latest news, Doctor, Speaker Karn agreed to hand over us the blueprint of the Neutron Jammer Canceller.¡± 0 ¡°Wait, she agreed?¡± Ade pinched himself to make sure he wasn¡¯t dreaming, ¡°I just mentioned it in the list, is Athrun Zala worth that much?¡± 0 His mind is now full of new ideas about how to build the best Gundam with the Neutron Jammer Canceller. There are so many things he can do at one time, he feels he is completely out of time. He can only say sorry Lacus, because he won¡¯t have that much time to accompany her now. After all, how could any girls in the world be more interesting than Gundam? 0 ¡°Speaker Karn also mentioned two conditions. One is to give PLANT economic aid. After all, the consumption of the war plus the defeat reparations give her too much pressure.¡± Loran looked Ade straight in the eye, ¡°The other is that she wants you to hand over Athrun personally after two weeks. Doctor, she said there are some things she wants you to know, and only by talking to you face to face, you can judge if it¡¯s true or not.¡± 0 Sinanju CH 72 PS: I just made a leave-a-comment-to-reduce-5-minutes function. Basically, the program will detect if there is a waiting-to-be-published chapter. If there is one, then anyone who leaves a comment on the latest released chapter page will let the next chapter be released 5 minutes ahead. This is a pre-function for the oncoming help-polish-the-sentence function. 1 About the oncoming help-polish-the-sentence function, I¡¯m planning to combine it with the ads function. The site at present doesn¡¯t have any ads. In my plan, I will place advertisements on the site after this function is done. Then I will share the advertising revenue with everyone who helps me polish the sentences. If everything goes well, I should be able to finish designing this function within one month. (You need to register an account on this site with a valid email, or I won¡¯t know who you are.) 1 Chapter 72: Vibrant 0 People always feel that there is not enough time when they are busy, and half a month passes in a flash. In this half month, Dr. Lingus spent all his time on his work, except for teasing Mineva and ¡°interacting¡± with Lacus. All his colleagues in Anaheim admired his dedication. 0 With the power source, he can do too much. Countless new ideas pour out of his mind. Ade is afraid to forget them, and can only first write plans and draw design drawings to record these ideas. He first upgraded for F91 and V2, and then modified Jegan¡¯s design. Although Hyzenthlays has been repaired, he didn¡¯t rush to upgrade Inle because there were brand new ideas in his head. His life was so full that he had almost forgotten the fact that C.C. was coming back in a few days. 0 Then the most important thing at hand was to meet Haman tomorrow. She, as the new Speaker, can¡¯t go to the moon to see him personally, and Ade also does not want to go to PLANT for his own safety, so the two sides agreed to meet in the public space, and agreed that each side can only bring four ships. In order to prevent PLANT from doing anything, Ade chose to hire the strongest fighting force he could think of ¨C Londo Bell. 0 As Scirocco¡¯s force became stronger and stronger, Londo Bell became more and more marginalized, and it was impossible for them to not feel disgruntled for it. Captain Bright has already started to take all kinds of private jobs, and he even came to the moon a day earlier and is now pre-purchasing Jegan in Anaheim. 0 ¡°Captain Bright, the sensors are the lifeline of pilots, how can you be stingy on this?¡± Lucette personally received and enthusiastically recommended the products to him, ¡°Type B is only twenty percent more expensive than Type C, but the detection range is fifty percent larger, so it¡¯s a good deal to buy Type B. It¡¯s not spending money, it¡¯s saving money!¡± 0 ¡°It sounds reasonable.¡± Bright is embarrassed in the face of the young and beautiful Lucette, blushing slightly. After all, he can¡¯t see his wife all year round, it¡¯s understandable. ¡°Then just upgrade the plan to Type B.¡± 0 ¡°You are so discerning.¡± Lucette said cheerfully and moved a little closer, ¡°and thrusters, your men are battle-hardened elites, how can they play their strength with so little attitude control vents? They deserve full attitude control vents!¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Because Lucette leaned a little closer again, Bright blushed and nodded, ¡°Buy, I buy all of them!¡± 0 Ade couldn¡¯t just watch it anymore. He walked over and gave Lucette a wink, then turned to Bright, ¡°Colonel, do you have so many funds? Don¡¯t be impulsive! Just buy what you need the most. Lucette, Captain Bright is my friend, you can give him some suggestions later. I¡¯ll talk to him for a while.¡± 0 Lucette pretended to smile coyly and left in embarrassment, leaving the two men alone. 0 ¡°I was a little impulsive, after all, I¡¯m only at this age.¡± Bright awkwardly coughed and looked away, ¡°I heard that you adopted a daughter, Doctor?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, Audrey, she¡¯s six years old.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but bring a warm smile, ¡°She is a very cute little girl. Captain, you can visit my house before you go back.¡± 0 ¡°Children are very naughty nowadays, tutoring is very important.¡± Bright looked smug, ¡°My son is five years old this year, very well behaved, never mischievous, all because I have a good education! If you have any problems, you can come to talk to me, I am very experienced, hahaha.¡±(PS: Bright¡¯s son is Hathaway Noa, the main character of Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaways Flash) 0 ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Ade silently vowed in his heart to never let Bright¡¯s son make trouble in his life, otherwise, he would be too much of a failure as a human being, ¡°By the way, is now Captain Aker or Captain Mu driving Zeta Gundam?¡± 0 ¡°Aker.¡± The smile immediately disappeared from Bright¡¯s face, ¡°He hasn¡¯t gone back to his quarters to sleep since he got Zeta. I¡¯m kind of regretting this decision now.¡± 0 ¡°I do think you made the right decision.¡± Ade comforted him, ¡°Think of it this way. If Captain Aker doesn¡¯t get Zeta, we don¡¯t even know what he will do.¡± 0 Bright thought about it and nodded his head in agreement. 0 On this trip, Ade¡¯s vigilance was still high due to Char¡¯s missing. Although Char entrusted Mineva to him, which indirectly indicated that at least he would not have a conflict with Ade recently, he still needs to maintain basic alertness. In addition to Londo Bell¡¯s three ACEs, Ade also brought Shinn and Uraki, plus Alice. 0 With these people protecting him, he can¡¯t imagine how to lose. If there is really anyone who wants to attack him, these people can deal with it with their eyes closed. 0 When he got home, Lacus was cooking dinner and Cagalli was playing a game with Mineva. The two of them were cheering and giggling, having a good time, while Kira was watching her sister with a caring look. Kira and Cagalli come to Ade¡¯s house at least once a week for Lacus¡¯ cooking. 0 When Mineva saw Ade enter, she ran away from Cagalli and flew into Ade¡¯s arms. Ade smoothly picked her up and gave her a kiss on her flushed cheeks as Mineva let out a heave laugh. 0 ¡°Audrey is so cute.¡± Cagalli walked over to Kira and squirmed, pulling on his shirt, ¡°Can we have one too?¡± 0 ¡°We, we, we are still at Dr. Lingus¡¯ house!¡± Kira blushed with shame, ¡°Go back, go back, we can talk about it after we go back.¡± 0 ¡°Audrey, do you like Sister Cagalli?¡± Mineva nodded under Ade¡¯s watchful eye, ¡°Then how about to go to Sister Cagalli¡¯s house for two days?¡± 0 ¡°No.¡± Mineva hugged Ade, her head shaking like a rattle, ¡°I want Uncle Ade.¡± 0 ¡°Uh, me and Sister Lacus are going away for two days.¡± Looking at the little girl¡¯s clinging eyes, Ade felt as if his heart was dripping blood while he spoke, ¡°Sister Cagalli will take care of you, Audrey is the most understanding girl, right?¡± 0 Mineva pouted and was silent for a while, ¡°Will Uncle Ade never come back like Uncle Char?¡± 0 ¡°Of course not, let¡¯s hook up.¡± Ade hooked Mineva¡¯s little thumb while sighing inwardly. Children nowadays are too precocious, she is only six years old and already does not believe in such nonsense as ¡®went to a very far away place¡¯, ¡°I promise, I will definitely come back to see Audrey. ¡° 0 The little girl nodded in silence and did not protest again, but her mood was still a bit low. After dinner, Mineva followed Cagalli directly back to their home, Ade and Lacus got into bed early. They are going to leave very early tomorrow. 0 ¡°It always feels like it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve been like this, Ade.¡± Lacus wrapped his arms around her and found a comfortable position close to him, ¡°We¡¯re not doing anything today, I just want to sleep like this.¡± 0 Ade was tempted to agree with her suggestion, but she was so close that his body shamefully reacted. He tried to find a topic to divert his attention, ¡°I see there are reports who say that I¡¯m infertile. What¡¯s going on? The media is too shameless nowadays! Can I sue them?¡± 0 ¡°You got a beautiful secretary and adopted a daughter soon after, you can¡¯t blame others for thinking so.¡± Lacus let out a light laugh, ¡°Or you could have one yourself to prove it? It looks like Cagalli wants a child very much.¡± 0 ¡°Uh, how about we make an effort then?¡± His sanity didn¡¯t last long before he quickly surrendered, and changing the subject seemed to become a self-digging exercise, ¡°How about right now?¡± 0 ¡°Ugh.¡± The young girl let out a very exaggerated sigh, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about you.¡± 0 The night passed peacefully. 1 The next morning, Ade¡¯s little spaceship Blue-eyes White Dragon left with Bright¡¯s warship Akama, and the moon government also sent a warship, They slowly sailed towards the location agreed with Haman. 0 On the PLANT, Haman also left for the meeting place a few hours ago with her beloved Glemy, Mashymre Cello, and others. 0 At this moment, in an MS warehouse, a blond man who wrapped himself up tightly in white walked in. 0 ¡°Captain Creuset!¡± The staff in the warehouse stopped what they were doing to salute him. 0 The blond man did not reply, but merely nodded to them in greeting, and then walked towards the red MS in the middle of the warehouse on his own. This huge heavy MS was the special NT machine that Char Aznable had developed before ¨C MSN-04 Sazabi, equipped with the Funnels system that only New Type could use. Fortunately, its development was basically finished before Char stepped down, and the end of Char¡¯s political career did not have an impact on the birth of this powerful MS. 0 Now this MS was assigned by Haman to her most trusted Glemy, but she didn¡¯t bring Sazabi to this peace talk, only the weaker Qubeley. 0 The blond man walked up next to Sazabi, calmly entered its cockpit located at the head, and closed the hatch. That¡¯s when someone finally noticed that something was wrong ¨C Creuset was not authorized to drive it. But it was too late, and the fully-armed Sazabi with her seventy-ton huge body rushed out of the warehouse and sped off into the sky. 0 The news was quickly transmitted to Haman, who assigned Glemy to return immediately to take full charge of the matter, while she herself continued to the meeting place. But Sazabi had by now landed comfortably on a small warship in the universe. 0 The blond man got down from Sazabi¡¯s cockpit, removed his full-covering mask and took off his gloves, and the soldiers saluted him, ¡°Commander-in-Chief!¡± 0 ¡°Congratulations Your Excellency Aznable.¡± Another identically dressed man came forward with applause, ¡°So smoothly got Sazabi, no wonder people call you Red Comet!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t flatter me.¡± Char took off the white clothes on his body, and casually took the other majestic-looking clothes and put it on, ¡°Start preparing for the speech. We don¡¯t have much time.¡± 0 A temporary podium was set up in the center of the hangar, Char changed his clothes and walked up to the podium to start his speech, and the scene was broadcast in real time to all the officers and men on the several small warships around. These small warships were obtained through gray means, and the soldiers on board were composed entirely of the remnants of the Zabi family, the remnants of the Zala family, and the loyalists of Char himself. To put it simply, all of them were cannon fodders, but Char had no psychological burden to use them. 0 ¡°You don¡¯t know the pain of killing without blood on your hands, and 240,000 is just a number to the person who presses the button to launch a nuclear bomb.¡± Char began the highest level speech of his life, ¡°In order for them to remember the pain as well, I ask you to die with me in this battle.¡± 0 The speech was thousands of words long, which mainly complained about the Earth Federation¡¯s corruption, TITANS¡¯ brutal and unjust rule, Zabi and Zala¡¯s ambitions, Clyne and Haman¡¯s crippledom, we are going to revenge for the 240,000 souls who cannot rest in peace, and I will not hesitate to die for it, so please help me. 0 The speech was sometimes low and sorrowful, and sometimes impassioned. The soldiers who listened to Char¡¯s speech were motivated the passion and were willing to fight side by side with Commander Aznable and die for him immediately. 0 Char, who had successfully finished his speech, took a bottom of the water and moistened his throat, then went to his room to prepare for the next action, with Creuset naturally following him. 0 ¡°Your Excellency Aznable, it was so great!¡± Creuset followed him all the way inside Char¡¯s room, ¡°Even I can¡¯t help but get heated listening to your speech. Your personality is truly unmatched.¡± 0 ¡°We are in a relationship of mutual use, I will never trust you, and there is no need for you to say such things.¡± Char stood in place and moved his somewhat stiff neck and wrists, ¡°Haman¡¯s absence today is our only chance, Creuset, if we can succeed, you take the credit.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Commander-in-Chief, it¡¯s all I should do.¡± Creuset said politely, ¡°It¡¯s just that you and I happen to have the same goal, there¡¯s nothing to praise.¡± 0 ¡°You already know my purpose, but your purpose ¡­¡± Char shook his head, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to say it, forget it. You can leave now, I have to prepare for the strike in a while. Sazabi is very wild-natured and needs my full attention.¡± 0 ¡°Only you can master this powerful MS. I will not bother.¡± Creuset bowed his head with a salute and turned to leave, however, he froze in place at the third step, followed by him asking in an icy low voice, ¡°Your Excellency Aznable, what do you mean by that?¡± 0 ¡°Zala and Haman are all betrayed by you in the end, where do you think my confidence comes from?¡± Char pointed his gun at the back of Creuset¡¯s head, this distance was impossible to miss for him, ¡°There is one last unstable factor in our operation, and you know it, I always act by any means.¡± 0 ¡°If I die, then how will Your Excellency-¡° 0 ¡°No more coquettish words! After finishing the speech, you are useless now.¡± Char interrupted his defense, ¡°You still underestimate we NTs too much, Creuset. Although I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking, I can still tell that you¡¯re a madman.¡± 0 ¡°Oh? That¡¯s interesting.¡± Creuset twitched with his back to Char and suddenly smiled weirdly, ¡°No matter it is you or Lingus, NTs are really ¡­ much more twisted than me. I¡¯m waiting for you in hell! ¡° 0 ¡°It seems that Lingus also see your madness? That¡¯s the man I admire.¡± Char showed a gratified smile and calmly pulled the trigger, ¡°Then I¡¯ll see you in hell.¡± 0 The bullet was shot out. 0 Sazabi 0 CH 73 Chapter 73: Obscure and Unknown 0 In the hollow at the bottom of the final dogma, C.C. shuddered as she faced the huge white human form tattooed on the cross. She had never thought that a betrayer like herself would be able to come back, and come back only to find answers for herself and another disparate creature. 0 Kaworu Nagisa looked at Lilith leisurely. C.C. knew they were having a conversation, but she couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying. Kaworu Nagisa was right, unable to do something as trivial as a mind conversation, she herself was worse than even a NewType. 0 ¡°Ah, I¡¯m so sorry, Ms. C.C., I forgot you couldn¡¯t hear.¡± Kaworu Nagisa gave an apologetic salute, ¡°I was discussing with Lilith whether it makes sense for an ageless superior being to fight for something like love and hope.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡± C.C. ignored Kaworu Nagisa¡¯s flirtation. She took a deep breath, tried to conjure up a figure in her mind, and asked in a trembling voice, ¡°O Lilith, please tell me, is he Lilin?¡± 0 ¡°He is Lilin, and he is not Lilin.¡± The answer appeared directly in her mind, in a language that she couldn¡¯t recognize, couldn¡¯t pronounce but could understand just by intuition. 0 ¡°Hey?¡± The inexplicable reply made C.C. freeze in place, then she made an expression as if she suddenly remembered something, ¡°Neither an animal nor a plant ¡­ So that¡¯s what Ade was saying all along? So he can have Geass and be NewType at the same time?¡± 0 ¡°In terms of the body, he¡¯s the same as Lilin. In terms of the soul, he¡¯s the same as me. He is my child, and he is not my child.¡± Lilith¡¯s voice continued to float in her consciousness. 0 ¡°The same as you?!¡± C.C.¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, her chest heaving violently with her breathing, and she twisted her head to look at Kaworu Nagisa, ¡°Like you, but in human form, that is, he¡­ Ade is an angel? How is that possible?¡± 0 ¡°Conceptually, judging by definition alone, to you alone, yes, he can be called an angel.¡± 0 C.C. fell into silence as Kaworu Nagisa watched her silently until she lowered her head and looked at her closed fists. 0 ¡°Ah ¡­ finally ¡­ found ¡­ finally I met ¡­¡± C.C.¡¯s big beautiful eyes were watery, but she did not cry, only in front of Lilith she had difficulty controlling her emotions, ¡°I can also ¡­ I can also get happiness ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Surprisingly, there are still such interesting creatures exist, I can understand Ms. C.C.¡¯s disorder.¡± Kaworu Nagisa stepped forward with a curious expression on his face, ¡°May I ask how I can meet him? Forgive me for having trouble suppressing my desire to know him.¡± 0 ¡°Stay away from him!¡± C.C. turned her head sideways and snarled, paused for a moment, and then calmed down, ¡°Just go and complete your mission, go to fins the alien species. Is it the time to worry about such things?¡± 1 ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m just asking.¡± Kaworu Nagisa smiled gracefully and waved his hand, ¡°Then let¡¯s go, I¡¯m going to find the intruder, and you can go back to your man, as you like it.¡± 0 ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Lilith¡¯s voice rang out in C.C. and Kaworu Nagisa¡¯s minds at the same time. ¡°Something is coming toward Earth.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 The battleship had been traveling for several hours, and there was still about an hour to go before it reached the agreed-upon space. Taking advantage of the free time on the way, Amuro was called from Akama to Ade¡¯s Blue-eyes White Dragon to discuss some NewType issues with him. 1 ¡°I¡¯ve recently developed some immature ideas about what NewType really is.¡± Ade sat opposite Amuro in his room, ¡°I¡¯d like to hear your opinion as a veteran NewType.¡± 0 Amuro nodded slightly to indicate him to continue. 0 ¡°I¡¯ve explained the concept of S.E.E.D to you before, right? Starting from the data obtained from both Kira Yamato and Shinn Asuka, we might as well make a bold assumption that S.E.E.D does enhance some basic ability or quality of humans themselves.¡± He put together what he had been thinking about for a long time recently and said, ¡°And this enhancement does not necessarily manifest itself in the same way in everyone, and in fact, Kira and Shinn do gain differently.¡± 0 ¡°The sample size is so small that it wouldn¡¯t hurt to assume so.¡± Amuro looked at him in disbelief, ¡°But what does this have to do with NewType?¡± 0 ¡°Lacus also obtained S.E.E.D, and what she gained is in perception, which subtly overlaps with NewType.¡± The corners of Ade¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but rise slightly as he seemed to think of something, ¡°So, can I assume that the perception ability is a basic ability that all humans can gain? NewType is a basic quality that humans don¡¯t exhibit?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ You mean that everyone can be a NewType?¡±Amuro pondered, ¡°Interesting idea, unprovable but also unfalsifiable for now. It¡¯s a promising idea, I like it, but Char won¡¯t like this.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s as if different people are good at different things, some can run and some can jump, and some are particularly good at NT.¡± Ade continued on, ¡°It is like most human talents, it can grow, and this non-linear enhancement process eventually leads to qualitative changes. In the ends, it will be strong enough to be observable and become NT, as you and I are.¡± 0 ¡°If only there were more examples ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Then give another example, the little girl I recently adopted.¡± Amuro also knows about Mineva, but knows only the Audrey version, ¡°She has vague NT abilities, but not to the extent that can be observed by me. With time, she should eventually become a NewType.¡± 0 ¡°We have so little information in this field, maybe there¡¯s more data in Char¡¯s New Type Institute.¡± Amuro pondered for a moment, ¡°But I can¡¯t find anything to refute your conclusion, and personally I hope you¡¯re right.¡± 0 ¡°Now one can only make bold assumptions and be careful in seeking proof.¡± Ade shrugged his shoulders helplessly, ¡°The essence of the problem still comes back to what NewType really is. Existence is reasonable, this thing can surely have an explanation.¡± 0 ¡°Existence is reasonable, it¡¯s indeed your style.¡± Amuro hesitated for a moment, ¡°By the way, there¡¯s another question I¡¯m curious about. Are you really infertile? Can¡¯t even the moon¡¯s medical level solve it?¡± 0 ¡°If I¡¯m a bit more irritable, now I have beat you, you know?¡± He looked at Amuro who was holding back a laugh, ¡°Although I can¡¯t beat you either.¡± 1 Sometime later, the ships finally arrived at the meeting place. There were only three ships on the Haman side in sight, Ade wondered what happened. After greeting both sides, as a symbol of friendship, Athrun went to PLANT¡¯s ship in a lifeboat and was received safe and sound. 0 ¡°Dr. Lingus, thank you for your kindness, we have received Athrun Zala.¡± Haman opened the video conference, ¡°What follows is too appalling, something that must be conveyed by talking face-to-face. As a NewType, you must understand it.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but I don¡¯t trust you guys.¡± Ade¡¯s tone was firm, ¡°How about to talk on my ship?¡± 0 ¡°But I don¡¯t trust Londo Bell either, that is the Earth Federation¡¯s force after all.¡± Haman sighed, ¡°That¡¯s how humans are. Even if we are NTs, our status, identity and the relationships around us can lead to us not being able to trust each other.¡± 0 Just as Haman hesitated, Bright suddenly interjected, ¡°Emergency, Londo Bell finds a large number of ZAFT troops and the moving Junius 7. Speaker Karn, do you have anything to explain?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s Char Aznable, PLANT did not betray.¡± Haman immediately told them the truth, ¡°He just snatched an MS, I didn¡¯t expect him to act immediately. Junius 7? Has he gone crazy?¡± 0 ¡°Can you tell me the name of the MS that was snatched away?¡± Ade went into a trance for a moment. 0 ¡°Does it make any sense?¡± Haman thought for a while and answered, ¡°Sazabi.¡± 0 ¡°Crap, I know what is going to happen.¡± Ade whispered to himself, ¡°But it¡¯s only U.C. 0085 now, what the hell is Char trying to do¡­¡± 0 ¡°Speaker Karn, the meeting must be terminated.¡± Bright looked grim, ¡°Now start returning at full speed.¡± 0 ¡°This is PLANT civil unrest, please let our side also-¡° 0 ¡°Denied.¡± Bright replied categorically, ¡°There is not enough evidence to show that your two sides are different forces, and your side¡¯s tailing will be regarded as hostile by our side.¡± 0 ¡°This is the so-called inability to trust each other. Give it up.¡± Ade shook his head at Haman, ¡°Captain Bright, please hurry up. If my guess is correct, Aznable wants to drop the satellite on Earth. I hope it¡¯s not too late.¡± 0 The fleet began to return at full speed, with everyone maintaining an anxiety-inducing silence on the way. No one in this world had ever successfully dropped a satellite on Earth, not Zabi, not Gato, and no one could imagine what the consequences would be if they succeeded. 0 ¡°Junius 7 is conical in shape and about eight kilometers in diameter at its base.¡± In the briefing room, Ade was doing quick calculations on the big screen, with all the people on board listening in real-time, ¡°If it succeeds in falling into the atmosphere, at that density and mass and the possible wear and tear and disintegration in the atmosphere, it will fall to the ground with about this much left. If it smashed into the sea, it would cause a tsunami and destroy several coastal cities, depending on the distance from the coast. If it smashed onto land, its damage would be depended on where it hits.¡± 0 ¡°Anyway, it will destroy cities, right?¡± Lacus apprehensively asked for everyone. 0 ¡°If it smashed to the Yellowstone volcano, half of the earth will be directly destroyed; smashed to Iceland, the smoke and dust caused by it would be enough to produce nuclear winter.¡± Ade drew a few circles on the map, ¡°There are actually many danger zones on Earth. As long as the smash is accurate enough, or our luck is bad enough, it can easily destroy the ecosphere.¡± 0 ¡°Char.¡± Amuro frowned, ¡°I have to stop him no matter what.¡± 0 ¡°You have known how bad the result could be.¡± Ade returned to his seat as Bright in the video took over and continued down the line, ¡°Stop Junius 7 from falling to Earth no matter what. The enemy¡¯s force is not too strong, we have a chance to win. I¡¯m going to talk about the battle plan, attention of Londo Bell¡¯s people.¡± 0 ¡°Wait, I want to join.¡± Uraki volunteered to raise his hand, ¡°My friends are still on Earth, I can¡¯t stand by and watch.¡± 0 ¡°And me.¡± Shinn followed and raised his hand too, ¡°Mr. Adrien has always taught me to use my power in the right way, and I want to do my part.¡± 0 Bright looked to Ade for advice, and Ade in turn looked at Uraki and Shinn. Both of whom had determined eyes. He nodded to Bright and decided to respect their will. 0 ¡°You can¡¯t go. I don¡¯t allow you to go.¡± Beside him, Lacus held his hand hard and said in a low voice that only the two could hear, ¡°Even though I don¡¯t know anything about the military, I understand that our side has had enough strength, there is no need for you to show up here.¡± 0 ¡°Lacus ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m selfish, but I don¡¯t want to go through what happened in the Genesis event again. Just leave it to Londo Bell and Shinn and the others.¡± Lacus looked at him with a plea, ¡°I have a bad feeling, it feels like you are going to a far away place. Think about the feelings of those left behind, and listen to me for a second, you¡¯re going to stay out of the fight this time, okay?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± 0 Several hours later, when Char looked at the row of Gundams in front of him, he was gape-mouthed. 0 ¡°Even if you succeed, there is no way the Earth Federation will not retaliate, right?¡± Shinn questioned Char through the public channel, ¡°You are also a PLANT person. Your homeland has just restored peace, do you want to cause war again?¡± 0 ¡°A kid?¡± Char was slightly surprised, ¡°You are talking about positive theory, but there are some things in the world that cannot be explained by positive theory. There¡¯s no need to do meaningless QA, I¡¯m not going to stop.¡± 0 ¡°There¡¯s no need to try to convince such an evil demon.¡± said Uraki, studying Ade¡¯s style, ¡°Let¡¯s beat him side by side!¡± 0 ¡°Char.¡± Amuro gazed at Sazabi in front of him. ¡°Leave him to me alone, let¡¯s all split up. Time is running out, what we should do first is to destroy the thrusters on the satellite and set the explosives.¡± 0 ¡°Just what I wanted.¡± Char ignored the MSs that scattered in all directions and stared intently at the Hi-¦Í Gundam, ¡°Lingus¡¯ work, right? Are these Funnels on its back? Nice power.¡± 0 ¡°Char, why?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯ve been bound by gravity for too long, Amuro. You don¡¯t know what kind of prison you¡¯re bound in.¡± Sazabi began to move, ¡°Let me see if your powers as a NewType have become dulled.¡± 0 ¡°Is it by such means?¡± Hi-¦Í Gundam dodged the Funnels, ¡°After Junius 7 falls, the Earth will be uninhabitable!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you understand, Amuro? That¡¯s the purpose!¡± Sazabi approached Hi-¦Í Gundam rapidly, ¡°Humans must go to the universe!¡± 0 ¡°Nice talk, but all excuses.¡± Hi-¦Í Gundam shot and pulled away, ¡°You simply refuse to accept Larah¡¯s death and are venting your frustration!¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s wrong with killing two birds with one stone?¡± Char couldn¡¯t help but roar, ¡°You simply don¡¯t understand. Lalah Sune is capable of becoming-¡° 0 ¡°Your mother?¡± Amuro snapped, ¡°So what?¡± 2 ¡°Huh?¡± Sazabi stopped in place as if the engine had suddenly gone out. 0 CH 74 Chapter 74: A Pale and Bitter Harmony 0 ¡°Ha?¡± Sazabi looked as if it had a sudden flameout, ¡°You, how do you ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Adrien already told me about your twisted emotions and motives.¡± Amuro won¡¯t just stand still and chat, ¡°Go, Fin Funnel!¡± 0 The wing-like thing on Hi-¦Í Gundam¡¯s back spread out into six wing-like Funnels and engaged in a fierce attack with Shazabi¡¯s Funnels. Amuro and Char, with their excellent spatial perception and superb manipulation skills, showed off their skills and grabbed control of the battlefield every inch of the way. 0 ¡°Adrien¡­ Lingus? He can actually find this only after a few short meetings? Terrible NT ability.¡± Char gritted his teeth, ¡°Your Funnels seems slightly stronger, but let me tell you, the difference in MS performance is not the key to deciding the battle!¡± 0 Sazabi had been flying for a long distance before encountering Hi-¦Í Gundam, and there was very little energy left in the extra fuel reservoir on its back. Char decisively separated the nearly empty receptacle, and the weight of Sazabi snapped lighter, closing in at a suddenly faster speed, while the cannon at the waist of the MS body swept wildly, suppressing Amuro¡¯s alignment. 0 ¡°Comparing driving skill with me, an active-duty soldier, after being a Senator for so long?¡± Amuro launched the inflatable dummy hidden inside Hi-¦Í Gundam¡¯s arm out to draw attention while using the shield on MS¡¯s left arm to parry the shots, ¡°You¡¯re too cocky!¡± 0 Winged Funnels deftly avoid shooting from different angles, accurately shoot down Sazabi¡¯s Funnels one by one, then fly back Amuro side. The I-fields between the Funnels were interlinked, forming a transparent cube that wrapped Hi-¦Í Gundam in, which Sazabi¡¯s beam cannon could not penetrate. 0 ¡°His design is full of strange and weird features.¡± Sazabi raised the high-powered beam rifle to fire at the cube as Char charged, ¡°but Funnels also has a cap on energy, and that won¡¯t change.¡± 0 When the thick particle beam was about to hit the I-field, the winged Funnels suddenly scattered in all directions, and the particle beam hit in vain. But at that moment, Char finally flew closed to H-¦Í Gundam as he had hoped, and Sazabi, holding two beam sabers in each of its hands, swung up in a frenzy. 0 Amuro was forced to throw away his shield and pulled out his beam saber. After exchanging several attacks and defenses, H-¦Í Gundam suddenly stretched out its left arm to block Sazabi¡¯s beam saber. 0 ¡°Have you lost your mind, Amuro?¡± Char was shocked, but his attacks did not slow down at all. 0 Sazabi chopped at Hi-v Gundam¡¯s left arm with full force, but the beam shield that suddenly unfolded from Hi-v Gundam¡¯s forearm blocked the attack perfectly, and taking this opportunity, Amuro cut off Sazabi¡¯s left leg and left arm with a backhanded lift. Sazabi flew up and kicked Hi-¦Í Gundam away, retreating backward as fast as it could. 0 ¡°This Gundam even equipped with a beam shield on such compact arm structure?¡± Sazabi had only one hand left, so Char threw away his beam saber and replaced it with a beam axe, ¡°Are all MSs made by Lingus monsters?!¡± 0 ¡°Aren¡¯t you talking nonsense?¡± The shield that was previously dropped by Amuro suddenly moved on its own, the beam cannon and four rockets hidden inside the shield launched a sneak attack on Char from behind him, ¡°It¡¯s over, Char!¡± 0 Char¡¯s NT instincts allowed him to avoid the sniping of the beam cannon in the nick of time, but the rockets still hit him and a series of explosions occurred on Sazabi. 0 ¡°Oh no, the monitor is broken! How did this happen?¡± 0 Amuro pulled out the large beam saber on Hi-v Gundam¡¯s back, flying forward to cut Sazabi into two pieces with one slash, by the way, it grabbed the cockpit that was about to escape from the head of Sazabi. 0 ¡°Eh, let¡¯s say you win.¡± Char¡¯s cockpit was immobilized by Hi-v Gundam¡¯s grip, ¡°But you can¡¯t stop Junius 7¡¯s fall. How much time has it been? Even without thrusters, even with inertia alone, it can enter the range of the Earth¡¯s gravity.¡± 0 On the other hand, inside Junius 7, when Shinn finished destroying the thrusters and prepared to place the explosives, he found Aker still outside killing Zakus. 0 ¡°Is this the power of Zeta Gundam? You are surely the Doctor¡¯s daughter! Fantastic!¡± Zeta¡¯s excellent mobility allowed Aker to do all sorts of cool moves, and he let loose a chant on the friendly channel while killing, ¡°Today, I am¡­ I can beat anyone even the¡­¡± 0 ¡°Captain Aker!¡± Shinn couldn¡¯t help but interrupt Aker, ¡°Mission, mission!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m certainly not getting carried away.¡± Aker quickly got rid of the pursuit of the Zakus, and no one dared to pursue him in return, ¡°Roger, move immediately.¡± 0 Shortly after, the MSs that had been assigned missions earlier rejoined after completing their respective objectives. The operation went smoothly, mainly because the combat power ratio was very unfriendly to the enemy side. They quickly broke out to the outside of Junius 7, at which point, Amuro just got down of Char. In fact, there weren¡¯t many enemy soldiers left. 0 ¡°Amuro, mission accomplished.¡± Aker spoke up first, ¡°Char Aznable?¡± 0 Hi-¦Í Gundam held up the cockpit in its hand and gestured, ¡°Here it is, let¡¯s start blasting.¡± 0 Each MS detonated the explosives set before, and Junius 7 was immediately bombarded by incessant attacks. However, the huge satellite still fell towards the direction of Earth at a steady speed. The MSs and several battleships poured ammunition at the satellite, but their attacks were too negligible for such a huge size. 0 ¡°I told you, it¡¯s too late.¡± Char took his helmet off and pulled his collar, ¡°Use your head to do the math and you¡¯ll know, I¡¯m the one who won!¡± 0 Before he finished his words, Akama suddenly rushed out from the formation of battleships, drove extremely close to Junius 7, and precisely fired its main gun at the part where the detonation was unsuccessful before. The powerful force became the last straw that breaks the camelback, and Junius 7 finally broke in two from it, and the second half of it began to drift off toward outer space. 0 ¡°Bright, well done, well done!¡± Char couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, and then let out a loud laugh, ¡°But this is the end! The remaining half is enough, and at this distance, it will enter the atmosphere in twenty minutes at most. Go ahead, Junius 7, with that forbidden memory! Hahahahahahaha!¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡± Hi-¦Í Gundam sped towards the front of Junius 7, ¡°It¡¯s just a satellite, let me push it back!¡± 0 ¡°Are you crazy? Don¡¯t do anything stupid!¡± Char was dumbfounded. 0 ¡°I believe in what Adrien handed me.¡± Hi-¦Í Gundam came to the front of the satellite, pressed Char¡¯s cockpit against the satellite¡¯s shell, and fired up its thrusters, ¡°This Hi-¦Í Gundam isn¡¯t just for show!¡± 0 At this moment, Ade was on board with everyone else looking out at the bridge. 0 ¡°What¡¯s Captain Ray doing?¡± Lacus asked him suspiciously, ¡°Is he¡­ pushing the satellite with his Gundam?¡± 0 ¡°Amuro!¡± Ade darted over to Mayu and got on Amuro¡¯s comms as fast as he could, ¡°Get back! Immediately! This kind of thing is unscientific, irrational, non-materialistic, and impossible!¡± 0 ¡°How do you know if you don¡¯t try?¡± Amuro¡¯s voice was full of confidence, ¡°Just leave it to me, Adrien, it might be possible with the power of Hi-¦Í Gundam!¡± 0 ¡°Hi-v Gundam was made by me! I say it can¡¯t!¡± Ade was so anxious. He didn¡¯t want to lose Amuro as a friend no matter what, ¡°Do you know how much work I¡¯ve put in to try to explain this god damn worldview? Gundam can¡¯t push the satellite back! Absolutely impossible! It¡¯s just a waste of time!¡± 0 ¡°Then let me just say I believe in you more than you do.¡± Amuro smiled brightly, ¡°That¡¯s it. I¡¯ll see you later.¡± 0 After saying that, he cut off the communication. 0 ¡°I admire his awareness and courage.¡± Lacus came forward and shook Ade¡¯s hand, ¡°But that¡¯s impossible, right?¡± 0 ¡°Of course it¡¯s impossible!¡± Ade annoyed, pointing his other hand at the satellite outside, ¡°This speed, this mass, this momentum! What is Gundam¡¯s horsepower? It¡¯s just a junior high school math problem. That¡¯s impossible! Hell, why is this plot?!¡± 0 ¡°Doctor, I¡¯m sorry about that.¡± Uraki followed to access the bridge communication, ¡°The new V2 was just built, but it might be broken by me again.¡± 0 ¡°Kou?¡± Ade immediately turned around with a hint of trembling in his voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, there¡¯s no point in what Amuro is doing. Return now, return to the ship immediately! That¡¯s an order!¡± 0 ¡°But I¡¯m still quite satisfied to finally have a chance this time.¡± Uraki¡¯s voice was a bit happy, ¡°My family and friends are on Earth, I can only try it. Just deduct V2¡¯s money from my insurance money. I have quite a lot of insurance money and I think it¡¯s enough to pay for it, so please transfer the rest to my family, Doctor.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t want any insurance money, I want you! Kou!¡± He shouted angrily. 0 ¡°Doctor, my life is regretless to hear you say that.¡± Then Uraki laughed and hung up the communication. 0 ¡°Why, it doesn¡¯t make sense? It¡¯s simply inexplicable!¡± Ade covered his forehead, ¡°That¡¯s right, Shinn! Mayu, call your brother immediately!¡± 0 The communication is on. 0 ¡°Shinn! It¡¯s me, return to the ship at once!¡± Ade almost growled out, ¡°That¡¯s an order! Return to the ship immediately!¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Adrien, you have no right to give me orders, we don¡¯t have a leader-member relation.¡± Shinn said mischievously, ¡°Please respect my free will, that¡¯s what Adrien-san always says, right?¡± 0 ¡°You know what I mean, there¡¯s no time to play on words with you!¡± Ade impatiently tapped the panel under his hand, ¡°Think about Mayu, think about Stella, your lover and sister are on the moon, the satellite has nothing to do with you!¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Adrien, you used to tell me that people have to be self-aware, we¡¯re not hot-blooded idiots living in a cartoon, there¡¯s always something that can¡¯t be done.¡± Shinn¡¯s voice was refreshing, ¡°I already know this very well, but I found out again that there are things that you have to do even if you know you can¡¯t do them, like this thing now.¡± 0 ¡°I did not teach you this kind of sophistry! Just come back!¡± 0 ¡°That must be because Adrien-san taught me too well that I¡¯m able to learn by example.¡± Shinn smiled coyly, ¡°Mayu, your brother is going to be a hero.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s not a hero, it¡¯s a martyr! Shinn!¡± Ade grabbed Mayu¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Are you watching your brother go crazy too? Say something!¡± 0 ¡°Ade-san ¡­¡± Mayu looked up at him sadly, ¡°I will always believe in my brother.¡± 0 ¡°Crazy! All of you are crazy! Use your brains to think about it! What¡¯s the meaning to do this?!¡± Ade let go of Mayu and grabbed his hair hard. Lacus didn¡¯t move an inch from his side, watching him with a worried look. 0 I still feel sorry for Mayu, but Adrien-san will take care of her, right? Well, I hope she and Stella won¡¯t quarrel again. 0 ¡°Shinn?¡± Ade jerked his head up, but it couldn¡¯t be, the communication had just been cut off and Shinn wasn¡¯t a NewType, ¡°¡­ Then who am I listening to?¡± 0 Lacus grabbed his arm nervously, ¡°Ade, what¡¯s wrong? You look like you¡¯re having a hard time, what happened?¡± 0 Oh no, I haven¡¯t had time to read the r18 MS Girl mangas I downloaded before, what should I do if someone finds them from my computer? I want to die! Uh, by the way, it was so strange. Did the doctor just confess to me? But I am not gay. What should I do? 0 ¡°Kou?¡± He stared vacantly at the universe, ¡°Is that you?¡± 0 ¡°Ade, Ade?¡± Lacus clenched her lips and shook the arm of the man beside her hard, ¡°Can you hear me? Don¡¯t scare me.¡± 0 You don¡¯t know what¡¯s on Earth! People don¡¯t have a future on Earth! No matter what you say, I still want to believe in the possibility of humans ¡­ 0 ¡°Stop it, it¡¯s noisy.¡± Ade covered his head in pain and shrunk his body into a ball, ¡°Can you be quiet?¡± 0 ¡°Ade, answer me!¡± Lacus cupped his face and looked straight into his unfocused pupils, ¡°What should I do¡­¡± 0 I am a man who turns the impossible into possible! Pushing the satellite is just a piece of cake. Beauty, believe me, this is not suicide, but for the survival and future of mankind! 0 ¡°Please,¡± his body began to spasm, ¡°please stop saying that ¡­¡± 0 This kind of thing is impossible right but what if it becomes true the heroes of the One Year War are together with us there is nothing to be afraid of oh I just hope that it won¡¯t smash to my hometown aren¡¯t you a PLANT pilot what are you doing here I do not know my body itself moved up what are you Zakus doing here just go back Zaku is also powerful we also have human rights okay is it so proud to drive Gundam ah I was going to get married after I go home oooo holy shit don¡¯t say this well-known meme at this time shit I will die this time it¡¯s all your fault no Zaku¢ò can¡¯t do it I can¡¯t hold on I will go first now Captain Bright said that we can change our MS to Jegan behind us is Earth can we really stop it don¡¯t look back as if I¡¯m afraid of death come on whose math is good can you calculate how long it will fall to Earth idiot this is a physics problem fuck you I¡¯m not an idiot you are an idiot you are born to be an ¨C 0 ¡°Shut up! Get the hell out of my head!¡± 0 Lacus took a deep breath, hugged him with all her strength, and kissed him on the lips with tears in her eyes. Then gradually, focus finally appeared in his eyes, and the world began to quiet down. The young girl felt the person in her arms finally stop shaking. She left his lips, staring at him with tears. 0 ¡°¡­Lacus?¡± 0 ¡°Ade-san, the central collision point of the satellite¡¯s descent is estimated.¡± Mayu¡¯s helpless voice rang out from the bridge, ¡°Near Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu Island, Japanese Islands!¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Ikari, we just got the latest news from Londo Bell.¡± Fuyutsuki Kouzou stood straight with his arms folded, ¡°Junius 7¡¯s falling point is directly above us. Bad luck.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not a coincidence.¡± Ikari Gendou crossed his arms below his nose, ¡°It¡¯s an attack at us. Fuyutsuki, our enemy is more than just angels.¡± 0 ¡°Everything depends on how much mass the satellite can remnant.¡± Fuyutsuki looked down at the floor, ¡°If we are lucky, the Final Dogma can survive.¡± 0 ¡°As I said, it¡¯s not a coincidence.¡± Ikari Gendou¡¯s voice was cold and bone-chilling, ¡°The Final Dogma can¡¯t survive. The plan ended early.¡± 0 ¡°Then it¡¯s too late to try to run away now, right? How long do we still have?¡± Fuyutsuki looked at his old friend, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to do something about it, Ikari?¡± 0 Ikari Gendou was silent for a long time, ¡°¡­ Get Shinji over here.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°An artificial satellite will land exactly directly above us.¡± Lilith¡¯s voice projected in the minds of C.C. and Kaworu Nagisa, ¡°The target is me. I won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± 0 ¡°If we run now, counting the time to leave this place ¡­¡± Kaworu Nagisa tilted his head and thought for a moment, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s too late.¡± 0 ¡°How could this happen?¡± C.C. shook her head unacceptably, her long silky hair swaying along with her, ¡°Just giving me hope and immediately giving me despair, this kind of thing ¡­¡± 0 ¡°You humans call this, well, predestination, right?¡± Kaworu Nagisa seemed unconcerned about his death, smiling as usual, ¡°Interesting coincidence, or not?¡± 0 ¡°Why, why?¡± C.C. let out a pained whisper, ¡°It¡¯s so hard, so hard to be happy again¡­!¡± 0 ¡­ 0 Then he began to hear voices again, ¡°Hey, let¡¯s do the deed, shall we?¡± 0 Still from the same voice, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the magic conch?¡± 0 Followed by still her, ¡°By the way, no night raid allowed this year either.¡± (PS: night raid is still not accurate as a translation of ¡°Ò¹Ï®¡± but I can¡¯t think of a better word) 0 Strange, how is she again, ¡°A satellite hitting the earth should be able to kill me.¡± 0 Why is it always her, ¡°At least take the initiative at times like this¡­ I¡¯ll leave it to you?¡± 0 Finally, she whispered, ¡°The contract stands, Mr. Paramecium.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Lacus, I feel so bad.¡± Ade left from the young girl¡¯s embrace and walked towards the outside of the bridge with his hand on his forehead, ¡°I¡¯m going to my room to lie down for a while.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll stay with you.¡± The young girl extended her arm towards him. 0 ¡°They need you here.¡± He turned his back on the young girl and shook his head, ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on later, I want first-hand information.¡± 0 Lacus watched his back disappear from sight for a moment. She hesitated, but finally chose to sit back in her seat and continue watching the satellite. 0 The efforts of Amuro Ray and the others were pointless. Junius 7 continued to move steadily toward Earth. In less than ten minutes, it would fall into the atmosphere, but those MSs had no intention of retreating. Did they really intend to fight to the death? 0 Lacus watched for a while, and suddenly, a puzzling palpitation rushed to her heart, exactly the same as the last time in the Genesis event¡­! 0 She gave the command as fast as she could, ¡°Mayu, close all MS entry and exit channels!¡± 0 However, Mayu looked like she was about to cry out, ¡°Miss Lacus, Hyzenthlays has just ¡­¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s really not like my style to do such a thing.¡± Ade tapped the communication into the bridge, his voice rang out with a hint of relief, ¡°But I have a reason to do it.¡± 0 ¡°Liar! Actor!¡± Lacus hissed without grace, ¡°Ade, get back here!¡± 0 ¡°The design and plan for the MS remodel are on the computer in my office, just take them all to Loran.¡± Hyzenthlays flew towards the satellite in her vision, ¡°The boot password is Alice¡¯s birthday. You can ask Loran, he knows.¡± 0 ¡°You said it yourself, it¡¯s impossible! What are you doing now?!¡± 0 ¡°As for Audrey, well, please try to coax her for me. Kids are not easy to cheat nowadays.¡± He laughed lightly, ¡°Nothing else is important, right? Think about it, I really have a quite simple interpersonal relationship.¡± 0 ¡°Please, don¡¯t do this ¡­¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m hanging up. If I say more, my determination will be shaken by you. You are actually very important in my heart.¡± 0 ¡°Liar, I do not believe, come back ¡­!¡± 0 ¡°Oh, by the way, the last sentence. I have been playing dumb and never said it, in fact, I was just too embarrassed,¡± he said before cutting off the communication, ¡°I love you.¡± 0 CH 75 Chapter 75: The Grand Finale Glittering in the Wind 0 The wreckage of Junius 7 grew bigger and bigger in Ade¡¯s eyes, and all he could hear in the cockpit was the sound of his own breathing. Running in a bit of a hurry, he would have liked to hear Lacus¡¯s voice again, but couldn¡¯t bring himself to do so, and every second he wanted to turn around and go back immediately. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t believe that Gundams can push the satellite back.¡± His hand gripping the joystick still trembled slightly, ¡°but how can I gamble with C.C.¡¯s life¡­¡± 0 ¡°In the end, it¡¯s just us again, Ade.¡± Alice¡¯s voice seemed very calm, ¡°Are you sure? Do we have a chance of success?¡± 0 ¡°Sorry, Alice, it¡¯s different this time.¡± He smiled bitterly, ¡°The probability of pushing the satellite back is an infinitesimal amount, and the probability of us surviving is another infinitesimal amount. In other words, you¡¯re going to die with me.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, Ade, no need to apologize.¡± Alice said happily, ¡°Eternal means nothing to me, and I¡¯m content to die with Ade.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Well, I¡¯m content too.¡± 0 Hyzenthlays quickly approached the satellite, and in a moment, Ade could feel Amuro and Char, and these two also sensed him one after another. 0 ¡°This feeling, who is it?¡± Char hesitated for a moment, ¡°Amuro is here, could it be Haman?¡± 0 ¡°This feeling, Adrien?¡± Amuro was taken aback and quickly tapped into Hyzenthlays¡¯s comms, ¡°What are you doing here? It¡¯s not your place to do this, go back!¡± 0 ¡°What am I doing here?¡± Ade said to Amuro snappishly, ¡°Who told me something about ¡®going to realize a possibility that will be achieved even if the worldview is broken¡¯? Who told me to put a Psycho Frame in the cockpit? Now you have the nerve to ask me what I¡¯m doing here!¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re saying something I don¡¯t understand again, don¡¯t change the subject!¡± 0 ¡°Lingus, it¡¯s you!¡± Char¡¯s voice suddenly interjected, ¡°What are you doing here? Go back to take care of Mineva for me!¡± 0 ¡°Do I know you well? Who are you? Is it honorable to let me adopt a six-year-old girl without saying a word?¡± Ade sneered, ¡°What the hell are you thinking? Throwing a satellite on the earth? Is such a stupid idea come up from your buttocks?¡± 0 ¡°I had to do it for the future of humanity, everything was a pain that had to be experienced, it would have been a perfect plan! But there¡¯s no point in talking about it now, everyone¡¯s going to die soon anyway.¡± Char was very upset, ¡°Do you believe in the future of mankind as much as Amuro does, risking your life for this?¡± 0 ¡°I believe in your sister!¡± Ade spat angrily. (PS: it¡¯s a Chinese dirty word, I don¡¯t know how to translate it and maintain its origin meaning at the same time) 0 ¡°Artesia?¡± Char exclaimed. 0 ¡°Sayla?¡± Amuro was equally horrified. 0 ¡°Am I crazy to get involved in something like this with a group of men?¡± Ade ignored them and continued to complain, ¡°I¡¯m doing it for the girl! The girl! Do you understand? C.C. is my waifu she is so cute and lovely I will smash his dog head if anyone dares to object to it!¡± 0 After saying that, he cut off the communication decisively and leaned back in his chair helplessly to catch his breath. Hyzenthlays had already affixed onto the satellite and began to do meaningless things. No keystrokes, no buttons to press, no joysticks to push, just silly waiting. 0 ¡°Ade, your heart rate is dropping.¡± Alice asked, puzzled, ¡°Why? I don¡¯t get it.¡± 0 ¡°Scolding culprit helps ease the fear.¡± Hyzenthlays was pushed steadily backward. He tightened his harness to make himself sit more steady, ¡°And then what? There aren¡¯t many minutes left, are there? How can I resonate with psycho-frame?¡± 0 The bottom area of Junius 7 was so large that Ade could only see a handful of MSs in his field of view. There were no Gundams nearby, only a few RGM-79s and Zakus. 0 Every ten seconds or so, an MS would explode due to its own overheating, and then be crushed into cosmic dust by the huge mass of the satellite. He didn¡¯t turn on the public channel because he didn¡¯t want to hear the screams of others on their deathbeds, but watching it all in the quiet cockpit was even creepier. 0 Ade strained his senses to reach out to the psycho-frame, to Hi-v Gundam, to Amuro and Char, to everything he could find around him, but to no avail. He didn¡¯t know how this thing was activated, or how it worked. 0 ¡°Just turn green!¡± 0 There was no glow, no resonance, no miracle. The satellite in front of him was still moving forward, and the other MSs in his field of view already all exploded. 0 ¡°Sure enough, it is impossible to push the satellite back with Gundam.¡± He closed his eyes, ¡°If I can transmigrate again, I hope to be reborn as a gal game male protagonist.¡± 0 ¡°Ade, are you going to give up here?¡± Alice asked tentatively, ¡°It¡¯s not too late to run.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ no, I was just talking.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay to accept your defeat.¡± 0 ¡°Not yet ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s all just a waste of effort?¡± 0 ¡°No. ¡­¡± 0 ¡°We are just waiting to die, don¡¯t you think to push the satellite with Gundam is really stupid?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t think so ¡­¡± 0 ¡°This all makes no sense at all, right?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ve said I don¡¯t admit it!¡± 0 In an instant, all the voices poured in. 0 Amuro¡¯s Char¡¯s Uraki¡¯s Shinn¡¯s Aker¡¯s Mu¡¯s soldier A¡¯s soldier B¡¯s enemy A¡¯s enemy B¡¯s Bright¡¯s Akama crew¡¯s Lacus¡¯s Mayu¡¯s his own ship crew¡¯s ¡­ everyone s voices rushed into his head in a flash, all of them speaking at the same time, and he couldn¡¯t hear anyone¡¯s voice clearly. 0 ¡°Ade, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Alice shouted worriedly. 0 He covered his head and breathed heavily. Alice¡¯s voice was muffled by the noise of people. The brain felt like it was going to be torn open, and it was countless times more painful than on the ship just now, and every second he wanted to pass out. 0 ¡°Is this resonance?¡± He even couldn¡¯t hear his own voice, ¡°I¡¯m dying without Lacus¡¯s kisses.¡± 0 Then a blood-red spot of light diffused from the corner of his eye, gradually filling his field of vision, and then continued to spread outward. In a flash, all the cameras were covered with red light, and he could see nothing but a blanket of blood red. 0 ¡°The color is not right.¡± His consciousness began to blur, he felt that his head was about to be burned off, ¡°Whatever, just hold on a little longer ¡­¡± 0 ¡°What is this thing? The psycho-frame¡¯s resonance?¡± Char looked at the red light that suddenly appeared in the cockpit, ¡°Instead of horror, it¡¯s a very warm feeling, but what¡¯s the use of this ¨C uh ah!¡± 0 Something seemed to break the boundary of Char¡¯s consciousness, and his brain tingled violently, but the tingling disappeared in an instant. He felt the confluence of countless wills, and countless voices poured in, yet nothing could be heard clearly. This was followed by a violent feeling of exhaustion, as if he had done something extremely taxing on his brainpower and wanted to sleep immediately. 0 ¡°This feeling¡­ Adrien!¡± Amuro reached out his hand to try to touch the point of light, ¡°Hi-v Gundam is also responding to him, is this the light of humanity? But this blood-red ¨C uh ah!¡± 0 The instantaneous sharp pain, the sea of murmurs, the intense feeling of fatigue, the same thing that happened to Char before happened to Amuro now, and happened to everyone who was pushing the satellite. 0 With Ade as the center, a huge blood-red light curtain unfolded in all directions at an incredible speed, covering all the MSs under the satellite. the light curtain had no thickness, and the surface showed a positive hexagonal shape with layers overlapping, the light curtain and the MSs under it were vaguely linked together by blood-red dots of light that were almost unobservable from a distance. 0 To the eyes of everyone on the ships, Junius 7 crashed into a blood-red curtain of light with a regular texture that suddenly appeared in the universe, its trajectory distorted to the naked eye. There was no sound in the vacuum, but everyone seemed to hear a loud bang in their ears. A few moments later ¨C 0 ¡°Junius 7¡¯s course changed, it¡¯s detaching from Earth!¡± An uplifting voice rang out first from Akama¡¯s bridge, ¡°Captain, they made it!¡± 0 ¡°Is this the true power of NewType?¡± Bright looked at the location where the curtain of light disappeared and was too shocked to move even a finger. 0 Beneath the disappearing light curtain, many of the MSs¡¯ thrusters had been damaged, and they continued to speed towards the direction of the atmosphere under the effect of inertia. The blood-red points of light gradually turned into nothingness, at this time, as if these MSs were pushed from behind by some force, inexplicably changing their trajectory of movement and escaping from falling into the atmosphere. 0 ¡°Ade, it worked, the satellite flew away!¡± Ade heard Alice¡¯s voice in the haze, ¡°Hyzenthlays is badly broken, we are going to fall into the atmosphere, the chances of survival cannot be calculated.¡± 0 ¡°All controls of Hyzenthlays are handed over to you, Alice.¡± He said with his last strength before passing out, ¡°Let me sleep for a while ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Hm! I will protect Ade!¡± said Alice, but he could no longer hear it. 0 At this moment, while everyone else was either excited or puzzled by the miracle, Lacus was probably the only one who guessed what had happened. The moment Ade cut off the communication, she turned on the power of S.E.E.D in a hurry. She could feel his consciousness, warm, brave, terrified, angry, and then at some point, it suddenly and violently burned up, and then that curtain of light appeared. 0 The light curtain disappeared now, and his presence was so faint as if about to die out at any moment. 0 ¡°We found F91! It¡¯s is badly broken and the pilot is unconscious!¡± The bridge resounded with Mayu¡¯s cheers, ¡°My brother is alive!¡± 0 ¡°We found Hi-v Gundam! MS is badly damaged and the pilot is unconscious!¡± There was another message, but it wasn¡¯t what she wanted to hear. 0 The CIC personnel kept broadcasting the survivors found, everyone incredibly alive, it must be a miracle, but the most important person to her still hadn¡¯t been found. 0 After a while, the frequency of the announcements gradually slowed down, one only every few moments, then slower and slower until it stopped altogether. 0 She was about to feel him no more. 0 ¡°Haven¡¯t you found Hyzenthlays yet?¡± She finally couldn¡¯t resist speaking out, ¡°Please try harder, please.¡± 0 No one answered her, and Mayu lowered her head uncomfortably. 0 The young girl finally couldn¡¯t feel him at all. 0 ¡°Haven¡¯t you found it yet?¡± She just repeated the words blankly, ¡°Please try harder, please.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°The satellite flew away?!¡± The ups and downs made C.C. look a bit overwhelmed, this emotion was too foreign to her, ¡°I, so I ¡­¡± 0 ¡°The person you asked about fell into the atmosphere. I can feel his location. Lost consciousness, so I can¡¯t talk to him.¡± Lilith¡¯s voice appeared in C.C.¡¯s mind. 0 ¡°Where is he? No, where would he land?¡± C.C. asked excitedly, ¡°I¡¯m going to find him, right now!¡± 0 Lilith was quiet for a while, not knowing what she was doing. Just as C.C. was getting impatient, the voice finally reappeared in her head, ¡°I can¡¯t feel him.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ hey?¡± C.C. didn¡¯t respond, or rather her brain refused to understand the message, ¡°Then look for it again.¡± 0 ¡°I can¡¯t find him within my consciousness.¡± 0 ¡°But you¡¯re Lilith.¡± She looked blankly at the huge white human form, ¡°Look again.¡± CH 76 Chapter 76: A Late Meeting 0 ¡°Sign here if you agree.¡± Loran pointed to the blank space at the bottom of the document, ¡°I have managed the best terms for you, and this is the only thing I can do for him.¡± 0 Lacus was dressed as a young woman in a black mourning dress. She held the pen for a while and hesitated, but couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Can¡¯t you really find him? Maybe Inle just fell into the atmosphere? If you look for it again, if you look for it again ¡­¡± 0 Loran turned his head aside, ¡°Officially, we will announce his MIA, but we have confirmed it via other reliable channels. Sorry, it may be cruel to say this, but he probably had been burned to ashes in the atmosphere.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I see.¡± Lacus exhaled with a reluctant smile, ¡°I¡¯ll do what I can, and that must be what he expects.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Even Loran himself didn¡¯t know why he was apologizing. He took Lacus¡¯s signed papers, ¡°Welcome to join us, Miss Lacus, no, Mrs. Lingus.¡± 0 ¡°Loran Cehack, explain it!¡± The door to the room was pushed open hard and C.C. walked in with an angry look on her face, she glanced at the other woman in the room and just ignored her existence, ¡°What¡¯s with the government appointment? What¡¯s up with the so-called Mrs. Lingus?¡± 0 Lacus surveyed the pretty woman with green hair and an aura of indifference, a very different type from herself. The two had never met before, but she immediately understood who this was. 0 ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of maximizing the benefits, it¡¯s the best choice that can be made after losing him.¡± Loran was unsurprised by the sudden intrusion, ¡°C.C., you and he are impossible, you and I both know that very well, so I never approve of your relationship.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s possible!¡± C.C. ignored Lacus and walked straight across to Loran and continued, ¡°Lilith said he¡¯s not Lilin, not Lilin! Do you understand?¡± 0 ¡°Not Lilin?!¡± Loran stood up at once and stared at C.C. with his eyes wide open, ¡°How, how is that possible? Isn¡¯t that¡­¡± 0 ¡°Go back and ask your wife if you can¡¯t figure it out.¡± C.C. took a deep breath to calm down, ¡°Forget it, there¡¯s no point in discussing this now. He is dead.¡± 0 Loran just stood there for a while, and after he came back to his senses, he took something out of the drawer and handed it to C.C. with a complicated look, ¡°By the way, this is from Londo Bell, it has a record of his last call. There is no practical use, you can take it back as a souvenir.¡± 0 C.C. took the small device and pressed the play button directly, and his familiar voice rang out in the room. The audio was edited so that no one else¡¯s voice appeared, ¡°¡­Amuro, now you have the nerve to ask me what I¡¯m doing here¡­ I believe your sister ¡­ C.C. is my waifu she is so cute and lovely I will smash his dog head if anyone dares to object to it!¡± 0 The recording wasn¡¯t long and was quickly played out, followed by an eerie silence in the room. The scene should have been hilarious, but no one in the room laughed. 0 C.C. was silent for a while and looked over to Lacus and let out a sneer, ¡°Mrs. Lingus, now his everything is yours. Are you happy now?¡± 0 Although Lacus could not understand what she was saying, the malice in her words could still be distinguished. She figured out the meaning of that sentence and stared at C.C. without flinching, ¡°I¡¯m doing my best to protect what he left behind, what you think is your freedom.¡± 0 ¡°From the secretary to Mrs. Lingus, and by the way, receiving his entire financial and political legacy, well, you just perked up quicker and had better luck.¡± C.C. turned toward the door, ¡°Ade really found a good strong woman for himself. Good luck and I wish you a promotion.¡± 0 Loran seemed to want to say something to Lacus, but she shook her head to stop him, ¡°Let¡¯s get back to business. Speaker Karn has fulfilled her promise, and the first thing we need to do is convince the outside world that Anaheim can function without him. The designs he left behind earlier are locked in the office computer, and I need to know Alice¡¯s birthday ¡­¡± 0 In the late afternoon, Lacus returned home dragging her tired body ¨C she had hardly slept for the past two days. Mineva sat restrainedly in a chair in the living room, saw Lacus return snapped and ran all the way to her, pointed to the closed bedroom door, and said nervously, ¡°There¡¯s an aunt¨C¡° 0 ¡°I know, she¡¯s not a bad person.¡± Lacus stroked Mineva¡¯s little head, ¡°Hungry? You can do your homework for a while, I¡¯ll make dinner.¡± 0 Mineva dwelled for a while and went back to her room to do her homework while Lacus started to prepare dinner for three. After the meal was ready, Lacus knocked on the door of C.C.¡¯s room, and C.C., who received the signal, came out and rightfully sat down at the table and began to eat. 0 ¡°It tastes pretty good, it¡¯s been practiced with a lot of effort.¡± C.C. took a taste of the food, ¡°So one of the means is this, I see.¡± 0 Lacus knew she would be targeted for anything she said, so she simply fell silent in response. 0 ¡°Sister Lacus.¡± Mineva couldn¡¯t stand the atmosphere and ask, ¡°When exactly will Uncle Ade be back? The teacher said there will be a parent-teacher conference next month, and every student¡¯s parents have to attend.¡± 0 ¡°It may not be possible to make it next month.¡± Lacus smiled gently, ¡°If possible, I can go-¡° 0 ¡°There¡¯s no coming back.¡± C.C. interrupted her coldly, ¡°Ade is dead and can¡¯t come back.¡± 0 ¡°C.C.!¡± 0 With a bang, Mineva¡¯s cutlery fell to the floor. Her eyes turned red in an instant, her mouth opened and closed like a landed fish, and she held back her tears for less than five seconds before they broke out in a flood. Mineva did not ask the words ¡°is it true¡±, she was already smart enough to get the answer from Lacus¡¯s reaction. 0 ¡°The one who killed Ade was Char Aznable.¡± C.C. simply ignored Lacus¡¯s reaction and chattered on to herself, ¡°Aznable was arrested for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. Crimes against humanity, can you understand? If you do not understand, go back to search it in the dictionary. He just escaped from prison yesterday, and now he is missing, and there is no way he will come back to you.¡± 0 The little girl cried even harder. 0 Lacus hurriedly went to Mineva and squatted down to hug her, heartily stroking her cheek, ¡°What good is it to you to do this? Even Ade -¡° 0 ¡°Ade is very fond of her, I know.¡± C.C.¡¯s face was expressionless, ¡°So you¡¯re going to make up a new reason for her every month? Don¡¯t tell me that¡¯s how he raises his kid. How can such a kid join the Pioneers?¡± 0 ¡°How do you know?!¡± Lacus jerked her head up, ¡°He said that once, and I don¡¯t even know what that means ¡­¡± 0 ¡°He would have said something like that if it was him, how could I not know?¡± C.C. put down her cutlery and sneered, ¡°Mrs. Lingus who doesn¡¯t know anything, why don¡¯t you ask the magic conch?¡± 0 ¡°Is there any point in you showing this off now?¡± Lacus looked at her sadly, ¡°It will only make the person left behind suffer more, right? You¡¯re torturing me and torturing yourself at the same time, why bother?¡± 0 ¡°So what? So I just sit here and shut up? This house is already yours, is the next step to kick me out?¡± C.C. looked at her provocatively, ¡°You don¡¯t need his things anymore either, right? How about giving them to me? By the way, I¡¯m the first in the line of succession for Anaheim shares, how embarrassing.¡± 0 Lacus just held Mineva and shook her head repeatedly, refusing to answer. 0 Looking at Lacus who didn¡¯t retort at all, C.C. suddenly felt bored. She got up and walked back to her room, closing the door heavily. 0 Lacus looked in the direction of the bedroom for a while, and lowered her head to comfort Mineva in her arms. The little girl was just growing up, and it took her a lot of talking to get Mineva to finish her dinner. Then, Lacus began to clean up the table after the meal, and Mineva silently went back to her room and took out her workbook with her eyes red. C.C. only ate one bite of her meal, and Lacus had to pour away the food that had been wasted. 0 At night, Lacus lay on the familiar bed, holding Mineva and singing to her in a low voice. The little girl sobbed in her arms for a while longer, until she was tired of crying and finally fell into a deep sleep with the song. Lacus could see that the little girl was finally less hostile to her, but the price was a little too high. 0 She carefully let go of Mineva, afraid to wake her, and then gingerly went to the living room. The young girl threw her body onto the sofa casually, found a comfortable position, and stared at the darkened room in a daze. 0 She doesn¡¯t know how long it has been, maybe it was a few o¡¯clock in the morning, but she heard the bedroom door open. Then a figure passed by her, went into the kitchen to make some noise, and came back to sit next to her. 0 ¡°¡­ Aren¡¯t you going to ask me what I¡¯m doing here?¡± Lacus asked after watching C.C. in silence for a long time. 0 ¡°You are not boring enough to act sad here to gain my sympathy, right? This kind of tricks will only be able to fool him.¡± C.C.¡¯s expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, ¡°I am not going to change rooms with you, there is no way to sleep in that room.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t you understand that very well?¡± Lacus muttered. ¡°You know what, he¡¯s-¡° 0 ¡°Mayu said it.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Oh.¡± 0 C.C. was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, ¡°Are you pregnant?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ No.¡± 0 ¡°Useless.¡± C.C. paused for a moment, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s reproductive isolation.¡± 0 Lacus didn¡¯t ask or refute, and there was another embarrassing silence. 0 ¡°It¡¯s all like that at first, just get used to it. Time is cruel, and anything can be forgotten.¡± C.C. broke the silence again, ¡°Change the environment, meet different people, and you¡¯ll naturally figure it out after that. Some may take a few months, some may take a few years, but it will always pass, that¡¯s the rule of thumb.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m going to keep it here.¡± Lacus¡¯s tone was firm, ¡°I¡¯m going to protect what he left behind and what he holds dear.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ It seems he wasn¡¯t too blind.¡± C.C. muttered to herself, ¡°I¡­ I can¡¯t stay in this place for another day. If possible, I will move house.¡± 0 ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Lacus immediately added, ¡°It¡¯s not to drive you away, it¡¯s just-¡° 0 ¡°I will leave, and I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± C.C. got up and walked towards her room, ¡°I will leave after teaching that little girl to be what he thinks she should be.¡± 0 Lacus was alone in the living room a few hours longer until it was almost dawn when she tiptoed back to bed. 0 ¡°Sister Lacus,¡± Mineva suddenly hugged her, which startled her, ¡°Didn¡¯t you sleep?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, did I wake you up?¡± 0 ¡°No.¡± Mineva shook her head in her arms, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad.¡± 0 Lacus tightened the little girl in her arms, not knowing what to say. 0 ¡°You all said Uncle Ade died.¡± Mineva looked up at her stubbornly, ¡°I believe him, Uncle Ade promised me.¡± 0 ¡°Mineva ¡­¡± 0 ¡°If he can¡¯t come back the next month, there¡¯s the next next month, and the next next next month, and the next next next next month, and the next year.¡± Mineva¡¯s tone was full of confidence, ¡°Uncle Ade will come back, he promised me.¡± 0 ¡°Then you have to study hard.¡± Lacus pressed Mineva¡¯s head back into her arms to keep her from seeing her expression, ¡°Or Ade will be angry when he comes back.¡± 0 ¡°I got good grades, and my teacher praised me.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Lacus bit her lip, ¡°She¡¯s not right, not at all.¡± 0 ¡°¡­Sister Lacus?¡± 0 ¡°My life is only so short, how can I forget him in such a short life?¡± She stroked the back of Mineva¡¯s hair compassionately, ¡°Well, I will never forget.¡± CH 77 Chapter 77: Starting From Zero ¨C The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe 0 Out of the silent darkness, five light sources lit up out of nothing. the SOUND ONLY sign indicated that this was an ongoing teleconference. 0 ¡°Thirty-fifth meeting of U.C. 0086.¡± Number Two¡¯s young female voice said emotionless as usual, ¡°No anomalies detected this week.¡± 0 ¡°Ditto, no unusual conditions detected.¡± Number Three and Number Five uttered the exact same lines. 0 ¡°We have confirmed that there are problems in the Misurugi kingdom.¡± Number Four¡¯s voice was obviously a middle-aged male¡¯s, ¡°Since last year, all the troops sent to infiltrate and reconnoiter there have lost contact. No one has returned.¡± 0 ¡°TITANS troops?¡± Number Five spoke up. It was Ikari Gendou, ¡°Humph, just a warlord who runs around for money.¡± 0 ¡°The attitude of the federal government¡¯s top brass is also interesting. I was opposed by them in the name of human rights before.¡± Number Four went on to state, ¡°In any case, I will convince TITANS to take further military action against the Misurugi Kingdom, using the old Britannia trick.¡± 0 ¡°Britannia can give assistance in this matter.¡± Number Three sounded like an older man, ¡°If there is clear evidence.¡± 0 ¡°Another thing, TITANS is developing technology at an unusually rapid rate, surprisingly developing a full-body psycho-frame independently in a short period of time.¡± Number Four continued, ¡°Requesting to discuss the possibility of Lingus being hidden in TITANS.¡± 0 ¡°Denied.¡± Ms. Number Two¡¯s tone was firm, ¡°Lingus is confirmed dead.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, it¡¯s good to be dead.¡± Number Three sneered, ¡°Too rapid technological development is detrimental to the follow-up plan.¡± 0 ¡°Anything else to add?¡± The Number Two lady waited for a moment, but no one spoke, ¡°If not, this meeting is now over.¡± 0 ¡°All for the sake of the final dialogue.¡± Number One suddenly made an old voice. 0 All the light went out together, and the space returned to darkness once again. 0 ¡­ 0 Ask, what is the most important tool for survival in the wilderness? Ask different people may get different answers, but Dr. Lingus¡¯ answer is ¨C Gundam. 1 At the moment, he is hiding behind a tree and fully concentrated on a silly bird on the beach. There was a pit on the ground not far from the silly bird, and in the pit was the tree seeds silly birds like. On top of the pit, it was an energy box, which was held up by wood, and a noose was tied on the wood. The silly bird alertly wandered outside the pit for a while, finally concluding that there was no danger around. After that, it jumped into the pit and came under the energy box, and started eating the tree seeds. 0 ¡°Alice, now!¡± Ade whispered into his jacket pocket. 0 The noose suddenly moved, and then the energy box fell and covered the entire pit. The silly bird chattered and chirped in the pit. Ade quickly ran to the edge of the pit, moved the energy box to reveal an opening, grabbed the bird, and decisively pulled out a pocket knife to cut the bird¡¯s neck. 0 ¡°I am also considered to be a man with countless death on my hands.¡± He lamented to himself, putting this dead bird and the other dead birds caught today together, ¡°This one also has little meat! Are they almost enough for me to eat for a day, hum?¡± 0 ¡°Ade, is this enough for today?¡± Alice¡¯s voice rang out from her jacket pocket, and after receiving his affirmative answer, ¡°Then I¡¯ll put the energy box away.¡± 0 From the depths of the dense forest, suddenly a Gundam sprang out and grabbed the energy box, placing it back on its back, and then silently disappeared in the dense forest. 0 ¡°The trap of planks plus ropes don¡¯t work after a month, and this trick never fails, is there some defect in this bird¡¯s intelligence?¡± Ade had already transported the bird to the kitchen area. He threw the hot stone into the water, ¡°Alice, do you think I should post a paper about it after I get back?¡± 0 ¡°Ade, I can¡¯t see you!¡± Alice sounded disgruntled. 0 ¡°Oh oh oh, I forgot, sorry.¡± He dried his hands on the prepared leaves, took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket and put it on the stone table next to him, and a cute girl dressed in machinery appeared on the screen, which was the image of an MS girl designed by Alice herself with reference to his ¡°study materials¡±. 0 ¡°Ok, done!¡± The girl on the phone showed a happy smile, ¡°Ade, you must be tired of eating bird meat, if we still have Gatling cannon bullets, we can hunt some large creatures.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s better than fish. I want to vomit just thinking of it.¡± He added hot stones to the water every now and then while lifting the birds one by one to bleed them, ¡°Is the Minovsky floating system still not restored?¡± 0 ¡°According to the previous progress, it will take about two more months.¡± The girl on the phone put her hands behind her back and shook her head, ¡°Ade, will we go back as soon as the floating system is ready?¡± 0 ¡°Definitely! The efficiency of the nanobots is really¡­ look at me, Dr. Lingus has almost become a wild man!¡± The water boiled, he poured out the water to scald the bird and then began to pluck the birds¡¯ hair and guts, ¡°I can go directly to the wilderness survival program after I come back.¡± 0 ¡°But you can¡¯t use Gundam in the wilderness survival program.¡± Alice smugly leaned forward on the screen, ¡°So I¡¯m useful, right?¡± 0 ¡°Then of course, without you, I would have died a hundred times.¡± He turned his head to Alice and stretched out his hand and gestured, ¡°I can try to get a virtual projection or something for you. If your head can stick out from the phone, I can touch your head.¡± 0 ¡°Well, I¡¯d like to!¡± Alice made a look of great anticipation. 0 Not many birds were caught today, after removing the internal organs and washing, he inserted the birds on the sharpened woods, coated them with a layer of cooking oil previously refined with animal fat, inserted them onto the fire, and began to grill. 0 Come to this deserted island almost a year, from eating compressed cookies and drinking nutrients all day in the beginning, to now he can make oil and salt himself, this fully proved that people can dig out their endless potential in the soup. 0 When he first fell to this island, if it wasn¡¯t for the video proved by Alice, he would have thought he was transmigrated again. For some unknown reason, he is completely unable to receive any satellite signals on this island. In addition, the MS was severely damaged, and the Minovsky floating system¡¯s damage could only be self repaired slowly by the nanobots, he had to be a modern Robinson. 0 Fortunately, Hyzenthlays can still barely move, which made the difficulty of surviving had greatly declined. He spent a week to familiarize himself with this not-so-small island, mapped out the location of various plants and animals and water sources, and then began to dominate the island. 0 He uses Gundam to pull big trees, Catling cannon to hunt, lightsaber to boil the water ¨C which he tried by failed. At first, it was fun, but after a month, it was not so interesting. The repair speed of nanobots is ridiculously slow, and daily life is so boring, if he didn¡¯t have Alice to talk to, his language skills would also degrade. 0 Since this place is really too boring, he couldn¡¯t resist transforming his cell phone, allowing Alice to be able to video call with himself at any time over a short distance encrypted channel. It was also at this time that Alice revealed the shocking fact that she had designed her own MS Girl image long ago. 0 ¡°The attributes of the character¡¯s appearance are based on the data statistics of Ade¡¯s ¡®study materials¡¯, including but not limited to hair color, pupil color, looks, height, body type, and circumference.¡± Alice introduced to him in circles with immense pride on the phone, ¡°Is there anything else you are not satisfied with? You can always fine-tune it.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ No.¡± It was a terrible thing to have all the ¡°strike zones¡± be hit at the same time, what was even more terrible was that he couldn¡¯t do ¡°anything¡± with such a wonderful image. 0 ¡°Then it¡¯s decided.¡± Alice said cheerfully, ¡°So we can see each other every day.¡± 0 He has no clue where the island really is, but he doesn¡¯t dare to draw SOS on the beach before Hyzenthlays is repaired by the nanobots ¨C the planet was full of his haters. Maybe this is TITANS¡¯s sphere of influence? In any case, it is not a pleasant experience to fall into the hands of Scirocco, so he can only pray that Scirocco does not come to search for him. 0 As for how the satellite was finally pushed away, he had no clue, what the camera recorded was only blood-red and nothing could be seen clearly. He decided to consider it after having more information. 0 After a while the bird meat was finally cooked, he took out the salt and sprinkled them on it, and took out some starchy fruit as the main food. The phone was placed across the table and Alice showed a table pretending to sit down herself and looking at him with her hands on her cheeks ¨C all her movements were taken from the internet, in other words, self-taught. 0 ¡°Ade, want to put on some music?¡± 0 ¡°Forget it, the phone is running low on battery. Remember to remind me to change my phone later.¡± 0 ¡°Ade.¡± Alice hesitated, ¡°We can actually stay here for a while longer before going back? We have made so many things here, it¡¯s too wasteful to just leave.¡± 0 ¡°I can understand your feelings, but we can¡¯t keep running away.¡± He chatted with Alice as he ate, ¡°I¡¯m worried about home too.¡± 0 ¡°And who is more worried about?¡± Alice made a show of counting on her fingers, ¡°Is it Miss Lacus, or Miss C.C., or-¡° 0 ¡°Alice!¡± He saw Alice spit out her tongue, ¡°No more.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s still ¡®no more¡¯ for now.¡± Alice corrected. ¡°That¡¯s okay, there¡¯s still two months to go, we won¡¯t know what¡¯s going to happen.¡± 0 After the meal, he napped. The hut was built with wood, and the bedding was made of animal fur, which was quite comfortable. The phone was put on his pillow, the screen display turned off, but the camera was always on at Alice¡¯s request. Alice stared at him twenty-four hours a day. At first, it was very awkward, but now he has been used to it. 0 Not long after sleeping, he was suddenly awakened in his dream by the ding of his NT radar and popped up from the bed at once, ¡°NewType?!¡± 0 He is not Char, he can clearly distinguish every NewType he has seen. He doesn¡¯t know this NewType and he wonders if the other side has found him. 0 The other party was moving in his direction, and it was only a matter of time before they found him. He grabbed the phone and ran all the way back to the Gundam hidden in the dense forest, put the display to the maximum to the direction of the induction, and carefully observed through the gaps in the dense forest. The other party stopped and went on from time to time on the way, not like normal movement. After a while, the object finally appeared in his vision ¨C 0 ¡°God damn it! Unicorn Gundam?!¡± He couldn¡¯t help but shout out, ¡°Alice, are we really not transmigrated?¡± 0 ¡°No, Ade.¡± Alice displayed her image on the virtual panel in the cockpit, ¡°Is that MS very powerful?¡± 0 ¡°Very powerful, but if it¡¯s made of the current technology, it may not be as powerful as the original version.¡± He pinched his face to make sure he wasn¡¯t dreaming, ¡°The point is, what the fuck is this messy plot? Who made this?¡± 0 Unicorn Gundam did not turn into destruction mode, and the surface was grayish-white. Ade wondered if this Unicorn Gundam has installed the NT-D system, if installed, at least its detection distance can not reach Ade¡¯s location. Otherwise, the current Hyzenthlays is not likely to escape from its attack. 0 After a while, Ade saw the reason why it stopped and went on along the way ¨C there was another MS ¨C can that be called MS? ¨C was fighting with it. 0 ¡°Freedom Gundam? But why is it less than ten meters?¡± He does not even know what to say facing this, ¡°Alice, are you still insisting that we are not transmigrated?¡± 0 ¡°Really no ah.¡± Alice shook her head aggressively, ¡°What¡¯s that small MS? There aren¡¯t any similar model matches in the database.¡± 0 ¡°Oh yeah, this side of freedom is painted red by ZAFT, so you can¡¯t recognize it.¡± He stretched out his finger and scraped Alice¡¯s head on the screen to show that he wasn¡¯t angry, ¡°The color scheme of that small mecha is exactly the same as the color scheme of Freedom Gundam in the original design.¡± 0 He secretly turned on the public frequency and listened, and the most amazing thing was that no one was talking on the public frequency. 0 The small MS was holding a live rifle, and the bullets can¡¯t do any damage to the Unicorn¡¯s shield. But the small MS is extremely mobile, and the pilot¡¯s quality is also pretty good, moving with a variety of anti-human tactical movements around Unicorn, and Unicorn¡¯s beam rifle was completely unable to target it. 0 The small MS tried again for a while, and finally put away the rifle and pulled out a sword-like thing to try to approach Unicorn. But the size gap between it and Unicorn is too big, its sword looks like a dagger in front of Unicorn, looks like it¡¯s cutting with a pocket knife. 0 ¡°This is definitely not the technology of this world, right?¡± Ade looked puzzled, ¡°No power would be bored enough to develop such useless ¨C God damn it! It can turn into a plane!¡± 0 That small MS suddenly turned into the appearance of a plane, the original rifle was used as a machine gun, with faster speed to shuttle back and forth. Unicorn¡¯s pilot seemed to have little experience in combat, and was at a loss in the face of this situation, just holding up his shield and shooting randomly with his gun. 0 In the midst of the chaos, Unicorn¡¯s head exploded, and it seemed that the main camera was blown out by the machine gun. The small MS keenly seized this moment, turned into the human form, pull out a large sword, and assault the other side¡¯s cockpit. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, it¡¯s too late to take out the beam saber, and Unicorn froze for a moment as if it didn¡¯t know what to do at this distance. 0 ¡°Up your Gatling cannon!¡± Ade shouted. 0 As if hearing his words, Unicorn¡¯s pilot immediately responded and fired back with its Gatling cannon. The small MS was unfortunately hit by several bullets, and probably some of its key parts were hit, it spun and crashed in the direction of the island. 0 Unicorn Gundam was dumbfounded for a while, and did not come after it, but chose to run away alone. After two months, Ade can go back, so he does not want to get in their fight and did not say hello to the pilot of Unicorn. The pilot¡¯s consciousness was a bit berserk in his perception, so it was better not to take any chances. 0 ¡°Ade, that small MS seems to have fallen to us?¡± Alice showed a map of the island and marked a location, ¡°Calculated landing point is here, want to go check it out?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ go check it out, at least we have to figure out where this strange robot came from.¡± Ade manipulated Hyzenthlays towards the marked bit on the map, ¡°This can¡¯t be Gundam anymore.¡± 0 A short while later, he came to the crash site on the coast. The small MS which looked like a mini Freedom Gundam seemed to have broken a few trees when it landed and was lying in the woods. Ade thought about it, took a set of defensive gear from the cockpit, instructed Alice to take cover, and then went down to the ground to approach the MS. 0 The MS was not large and the location of the cockpit was well-judged. He fumbled around it for a while and quickly found a way to open it. The cockpit slowly opened, and appearing inside was a young girl, pretty looking, with short blonde hair. 0 There was a bit of blood on the girl¡¯s head, probably where her head had crashed. He reached out and touched her neck, there were still signs of life. Although he was interested in this MS, now it is better to save the girl first. 0 ¡°Ade, a pretty girl again.¡± Alice¡¯s voice came out from his jacket pocket, ¡°Dead? It would be a pity if she¡¯s dead~¡± CH 78 Chapter 78: Energetic Friday ¡°Awake?¡± Ade looked at the pretty-faced blonde girl who just opened her eyes, ¡°Hello, I rescued you after your MS crashed, and in exchange, I want to get some information from you, so can we have a calm and peaceful talk?¡± ¡°Hey? Who are you? Where is this?¡± The blonde girl found her hands were tied separately, she struggled but could not move, stomped angrily, ¡°Let go of me now! What do you call this a calm and peaceful talk?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry, let¡¯s take it one problem at a time.¡± Ade sat down neatly on the flat wooden stake, ¡°First of all, my name is Adrien Lingus, you may have seen me in the news media. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Huh? Never heard of it, are you famous? And why should I tell you what my name is?¡± The blonde girl continued to struggle restlessly, trying to untie the ropes, ¡°Enough about that, get off me! You didn¡¯t do anything to me, did you?¡± ¡°Refuse to answer? Then let¡¯s call you Friday.¡± Ade looked at her sincerely, ¡°As for why I tied you up, it¡¯s because firstly, you have a gun on you, which of course is now confiscated by me, and secondly, you have muscles in your arms and thighs that could kill a cow with one punch. I tied you up for your own safety, and I will let you go immediately after making sure you are not hostile. And I purposely chose a position that is more comfortable when tied up, to show my sincerity.¡± ¡°Th, things, thighs ¡­!¡± The blonde girl¡¯s face was red with shame, and she glared at him viciously, so excited that she started struggling again, ¡°Pervert! And what¡¯s Friday? I¡¯m not Friday! Why don¡¯t you call yourself Friday?!¡± ¡°I just saved your life, and what¡¯s this attitude now? Besides, don¡¯t you find that your clothes are all intact? Don¡¯t wrong a good man, okay?¡± Ade looked at the blonde girl speechlessly and shook his head, ¡°and your¡­ this clothes ¡­ driving clothes? Why is it designed to be so erotic? What kind of r18 anime did you run away from?¡± ¡°Erotic, erotic, erotic ¡­!¡± The blonde girl instantly shrunk her body into a ball, afraid of going naked, but her eyes are still fierce, ¡°Beast!¡± ¡°From the beginning, you have been shouting and refusing to communicate, it seems impossible to communicate with you. Let¡¯s talk after you¡¯ve calmed down.¡± Ade got up and left, leaving the blonde girl alone. ¡°I¡¯ll be back for you in an hour.¡± ¡°Stop right there!¡± The blonde yelled, ¡°Let go of me! It¡¯s dangerous to be tied up here!¡± He ignored the blonde girl and left her field of vision without looking back. The young girl was actually tied up not far from him, he sat down and listened to the voices over there, the young girl shouted for a while longer before she finally quieted down. ¡°Ade, this woman is inexplicable.¡± Alice¡¯s image appeared on the phone screen, ¡°Savage and violent, completely incomparable to Miss C.C. and Miss Lacus. It seems that she is not a good object to talk to.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve never seen any woman like her.¡± He agreed, ¡°When you find yourself tied up, you should first calm down and try to communicate in this situation, right? What¡¯s her attitude? She was like Stella when she didn¡¯t eat the drug. No, Stella is much cuter than she is, her character is not worthy of her good face!¡± ¡°Well, well!¡± Alice smiled happily, ¡°Ade, you did the right thing! I strongly support you!¡± So he chatted with Alice for about an hour, and by the time he got back, the blonde girl had completely quieted down. When she wasn¡¯t making a scene, she was still very good-looking, but unfortunately, when she opened her mouth, it was all ruined. ¡°Hello, Miss Friday.¡± He sat down in the seat opposite the young girl, ¡°Can we have a little chat now? You see, I mean you no harm, I just want to get some information.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was the one who was rude before.¡± The blonde girl suddenly bowed her head with an elegant gesture and apologized, ¡°This attitude towards the rescuer is really too rude, please forgive me for the savagery I showed out of panic. This is very uncomfortable, may I ask if you can untie me? I promise not to be rude to you again.¡± Her transformation surprised Ade. Though bound, her talk and grooming were that of a highly educated person, so it¡¯s a girl of high society origin? Well, at least educated people are easier to communicate with. Considering the possibility that she was acting, Ade first cut the rope of one of her hands. The moment the girl could move, she swiftly grabbed the knife, cut the rope of the other hand, and then cut Ade¡¯s hands behind his back. The whole process was completed in less than two seconds. Ade only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then was subdued, can only let out humiliating sounds of ¡°Ouch ouch ouch ouch! Pain pain pain pain!¡±. ¡°How dare you tie me up, beast!¡± The blonde girl twisted his arm a few more times to vent her anger. ¡°But I did not do anything, right? I saved you, and is this what you do to your saver?¡± Ade grimaced in pain, ¡°Ouch! It¡¯s to dislocate!¡± The young girl hesitated for a moment, pushed him aside, and said in a fierce accent, ¡°I don¡¯t need your help! I can live well alone! And my name is not Friday!¡± And with that, she turned her head and ran away. ¡°So what the hell is wrong with this woman? She is simply inexplicable!¡± Ade rubbed his knuckles and looked at each other with Alice. ¡°Ade, this woman is too dangerous!¡± Alice¡¯s voice was horrible, ¡°Just finish her off. Leave it to me, I can solve her with one shot of VSBR. It won¡¯t make her feel pain.¡± ¡°VSBR is too much.¡± He just thought Alice was joking, ¡°Let¡¯s observe first.¡± After that, Ade stayed far behind the blonde girl, who found her MS first and rummaged around in the cockpit. ¡°She didn¡¯t prepare water, food, tools, or anything in the cockpit.¡± Ade watched her, ¡°Doesn¡¯t she know that herself?¡± ¡°It means she has neither intelligence nor memory.¡± Alice analyzed, ¡°There is no need to pass on the genes of such a waste yet.¡± The young girl who got nothing next went into the forest and started looking for water and food. Obviously, she has no wilderness survival experience, wandering around with no goal, and the eatable things around had long been harvested by Ade, so she didn¡¯t find anything until the night. According to Ade¡¯s speculation, from the morning attack until now, she should not eat nor drink anything, and the intense battle before consumed her a lot of energy. After a while, the girl began to walk unsteadily and her hands were shaking a bit, probably dehydration plus hypoglycemia. Desperate, she found a random place in the forest to sit down, looking at the sky, chanting something inaudible in her mouth. ¡°¡®I don¡¯t need your help. I can live well by myself¡¯, didn¡¯t you say so yourself?¡± Ade walked over to her and squatted down, ¡°You see, you can¡¯t live alone, can you? You¡¯re too weak to find food and water, and without food and water, you¡¯ll be even weaker, and the next thing you know, it¡¯s a vicious circle.¡± ¡°What are you doing here? Come to laugh at me?¡± The blonde girl looked at him stubbornly, ¡°I can get along fine on my own without your help.¡± ¡°Wow, that¡¯s a little impressed.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, ¡°Then we¡¯ll see.¡± The next day, during the day, the girl again wandered around, not to mention food, she didn¡¯t even find water. She saw a few small animals, but small animals run fast, chasing them will only consume more of her energy. To his surprise, until the sun went down again, the young girl was already so weak that she had no energy to move, she still refused to ask him for help. ¡°Friday, do you need water?¡± Ade surrendered first, ¡°You¡¯re already dehydrated, I¡¯m not laughing at you.¡± ¡°No need for you to be nosy, I can get along fine on my own.¡± The young girl said breathlessly, ¡°And my name isn¡¯t Friday.¡± ¡°Well, then, I¡¯ll just have to wait until you die. It¡¯s rare to meet a girl with a good face plus a good body, I haven¡¯t seen a woman in a year. After you die, I can have a cum before your body becomes cold.¡± ¡°You, you ¡­!¡± The young girl suddenly became spiritual all of a sudden, ¡°Nasty, perverted, heartless, beastly!¡± Ade looked at her with a smile on his face. The young girl deflated and sat back down powerlessly, ¡°Please give me water and food.¡± ¡°Good girl. Why don¡¯t you say it earlier?¡± He took out a bottle of nutrients and handed it to the young girl, ¡°You have been hungry too long, you can¡¯t eat all of a sudden. Drink this, it can replenish water, sugar, multivitamins, and trace elements, It¡¯s Anaheim¡¯s nutrient, tastes good, you can trust it.¡± ¡°Never heard of this brand.¡± The young girl took the bottle and greedily gulped it down. ¡°People are social creatures, they can¡¯t live alone.¡± Ade looked at the haggard look of the young girl with some compassion, ¡°I do not know what you have been through, at least I can not be strong enough to live alone. Other than that, in case a satellite hits your head, you can¡¯t push it back alone, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re full of clich¨¦s at a young age, and what the hell is pushing a satellite?¡± The blonde girl finished drinking in one gulp and looked at him with her hands down, ¡°Also, I¡¯m not human, I¡¯m Norma.¡± 1 ¡°What is Norma?¡± ¡°¡­ ha?¡± An hour later. ¡°After all you¡¯ve said, let¡¯s sort out this strange worldview.¡± Ade and the young girl sat opposite each other, ¡°Miss Friday, first of all, you are-¡° ¡°Ange.¡± The young girl interrupted him, ¡°I have a name, it¡¯s Ange, not Friday.¡± ¡°Okay, Miss Friday, first of all, you¡¯re the princess of North Korea.¡± ¡°Misurugi.¡± Ange interrupted him again, ¡°Not North Korea.¡± 1 ¡°Your country has a hereditary system, the people are extremely happy, the nation doesn¡¯t have internet, and you don¡¯t even know which countries are in the world?¡± ¡°¡­ Hmm.¡± Ange nodded awkwardly. ¡°That¡¯s right, first of all, you¡¯re the princess of North Korea.¡± Ade continued on, ¡°The people of your country have a superpower called ¡®the Light of Mana¡¯ that can communicate over long distances and create a special barrier, which is said to be the final form at the end of biological evolution?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°NT plus AT field, it makes sense to be the final form of evolution.¡± Ade muttered to himself, ¡°Let¡¯s continue. You were found to have no superpowers, aka ¡®Norma¡¯, so you were sent to this place to kill dragons with other Normas?¡± ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± ¡°The whole world is occupied by Norma, and Misurugi is the last place where the light of Mana shines, so the Federation Norma, Lunar Norma, and Satellite Norma sent dragons to attack Misurugi.¡± Ade pointed to himself, ¡°I am the Lunar Norma you speak of.¡± ¡°No wonder that you are a so violent and disorderly creature.¡± Ange nodded perceptively, ¡°Otherwise, it would be impossible for a gentleman to do such a terrible thing to a lady.¡± ¡°The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, nor is it the fact that I¡¯m standing right in front of you and you don¡¯t know I love you, but the distance between Miss Friday and a lady.¡± ¡°Hey? You, you love-¡± Ange blushed, then suddenly reacted, pointing at him and shouting, ¡°What do you mean?!¡± ¡°Considering from the perspective of history, it¡¯s rather hard to deny that humans are violent and disorderly creatures.¡± Ade completely ignored her, ¡°But forcing people who have no Mana to fight dragons, which is equal to asking them to die¡­ is this a behavior a good creature would do? Do you all believe in this?¡± Ange¡¯s attention was successfully diverted and she lowered her head without speaking. ¡°It seems that the price for getting superpowers is part of your intelligence, but why did you pay the price even though you obviously don¡¯t have superpowers?¡± Ade made a puzzled look which successfully annoyed Ange, ¡°That Para-mail (PM) you piloted is the only robot you¡¯ve ever seen?¡± ¡°And that big white robot during the day, no more.¡± Ange said without thinking, ¡°That thing suddenly attacked us on our way back from the mission, and I lured it to this island, and you know all about the latter.¡± ¡°So you sacrificed yourself to save your teammates?¡± Ade looked at her in surprise, ¡°Just now, you obviously sounded like you hate your teammates, uh, tsundere?¡± ¡°Not at all!¡± ¡°Your country has no MS.¡± Ade ignored her and made a silent note of that, ¡°Anyway, believe it or not, I¡¯ve never seen a dragon in my life, I¡¯ve never even heard of one. The dragons are definitely not sent by us.¡± ¡°Say what you will, it is a fact that we are hunting dragons.¡± ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not discuss this, I¡¯ll know when I see the dragon. Let¡¯s talk about you.¡± Ade said in a serious tone, ¡°Your current state, is a kind of self-loathing after being forced to admit the huge psychological and reality gap, hating teammates are the corresponding clinical manifestations. But you are so spirit now, you should be almost recovered from the symptom.¡± ¡°None of your business!¡± Ange stared at him like a furious cat, and after a moment, she calmed down again, ¡°Well, you¡¯re right, it¡¯s this sub right. I shouldn¡¯t have yelled at you, and you said that for my own good.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t for your own good.¡± Ade corrected sincerely, ¡°So never mind, Friday, please keep being angry, that¡¯s what I¡¯m here for.¡± ¡°You!¡± Ange raised her right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered it, ¡°It looks like I¡¯m tired of talking to you.¡± ¡°It seems you¡¯ve run out of energy for the day, so let¡¯s continue the discussion tomorrow.¡± Ade pointed to the bed aside, ¡°You can sleep here at night, there is a special guard around here, it is safe, I will go to sleep somewhere else.¡± ¡°Well, where are you going?¡± Ange looked a little bashful. ¡°Just a short distance away, you need not fear either being alone or worrying about me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m neither afraid of being alone nor worrying about you! I don¡¯t feel safe with a man watching over me at night!¡± Ange then sighed, ¡°I¡¯m so tired, I¡¯m really tired of talking to you.¡± ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s it.¡± Ade waved at her, ¡°Good night, Friday.¡± ¡°Ange! Not Friday!¡± Ade ignored her again and went back to Hyzenthlays¡¯ cockpit, where Alice would keep watch for him for the night. ¡°Alice, look at my exquisite maneuvering.¡± He said to Alice triumphantly, ¡°Rescuing a self-destructive young girl, getting the needed information, while avoiding all possible bad ends in the process.¡± ¡°Your understanding of avoiding bad ends is not quite the same as mine.¡± Alice asked hesitantly, ¡°And Ade, you seem to be happy about it?¡± ¡°Am I?¡± He touched his cheek, ¡°Maybe. It¡¯s probably been 2 or 3 years since I¡¯ve had a quarrel with someone, so I¡¯m just a little nostalgic.¡± CH 79 Chapter 79: Destined Reunion 0 Although Miss Friday seems to be a useless princess who doesn¡¯t know anything, even so, she is still a princess, and the information she knows is far more than the original person. From the information she proved, this ¡°Misurugi¡± is very suspicious in Ade¡¯s eyes. 0 ¡°Found it! The distortion point of the world!¡± He could probably say that. 0 First of all, the geographical location of both the deserted island and Misurugi was determined, in the archipelago east of the Atlantic Ocean, with Gibraltar to the north and Dakar to the south, which means that Ade and Scirocco are very close in distance. As for why an unknown island nation popped up in the Atlantic, he could only treat it as a twisted setting like Orb Union. 0 Secondly, although this country is nominally cut off from the outside world, according to Friday¡¯s description of the country¡¯s population and the royal family¡¯s food and clothing, they are not what a small country could produce. In other words, there must be countries in the Earth Federation private trade with Misurugi. Of course, with Friday¡¯s intelligence, she won¡¯t be able to think of this. 0 In the end, the country itself does not even have any MS, and actually dared to define the whole world as its enemy? Since it has not been forced to join the Federation and not destroyed, it must have private transactions with the Federation government ¨C Misurugi won¡¯t also have Moonlight Butterfly, right? 0 Ade concluded that there are probably two possibilities, Misurugi is controlling the Earth Federation in secret, or Misurugi was controlled by Earth Federation in secret. Actually, the latter is more likely. 0 ¡°Although I don¡¯t know which anime this Misurugi comes from, I have regained the confidence in myself by speculating to this point based on Friday¡¯s words alone.¡± He stood on the beach, blowing the morning breeze and chatting with Alice, ¡°It¡¯s not cool at all to face the familiar characters and plots. Now I¡¯m facing a completely unfamiliar setting, and this is the time to show my true level.¡± 0 ¡°Well, hmm!¡± Although Alice completely did not understand what he was saying, she still nodded, ¡°Ade is the best!¡± 0 ¡°On the contrary, this dragon is very unscientific, she should not lie, this thing does exist.¡± Ade rubbed his chin and carefully recalled, ¡°I vaguely remember that I said something related to the dragon before, and C.C. was also present, but I can¡¯t recall the details. I feel a little panicked.¡± 0 At that moment, he heard a loud shout of ¡°Hey, hey, hey¡± from behind him, but he didn¡¯t answer. The other party persistently continued to shout, and it took a while for her to find the beach. 0 ¡°Hey!¡± Ange shouted angrily, ¡°Answer me if you hear me, how long do you think I¡¯ve been shouting?¡± 0 ¡°Good morning, Friday.¡± Ade greeted the young girl who was so full of energy early in the morning, ¡°Breakfast is on the table next to your bed, I think you¡¯ve eaten it since you look so energetic?¡± 0 ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve eaten, thank you, good morning.¡± She replied politely, then suddenly reacted, ¡°Ange, not Friday! Also, why didn¡¯t you answer me?¡± 0 ¡°You were just shouting ¡®hey, hey, hey¡¯, how do I know who you¡¯re calling out to?¡± Ade shrugged and opened his both hands, ¡°I clearly told you my name. Oh yes, considering your IQ, I¡¯d better tell you again, my name is Adrien Lingus.¡± 0 ¡°Adri¡­ Adr what?¡± Ange frowned, ¡°Your name is too long and hard to remember, forget it, from today onwards, your name will be Ade!¡± 0 ¡°No way, you can¡¯t call me that.¡± Ade looked serious, ¡°There are still a million and a half words of plot development before you can call me that. Change the name, any nickname you want, you can¡¯t call me that anyway.¡± 0 ¡°So ¡­Adeko?¡± 0 ¡°Hmm.¡± 0 ¡°Adelingling?¡± 0 ¡°Yes.¡± 0 ¡°Adegram?¡± 0 ¡°Also OK.¡± 0 ¡°Adelingling covered rice?¡± 0 ¡°Whatever you want.¡± 0 ¡°Ooh, caught a weakness? You actually have a weak point too?¡± Ange showed an excited and smug look, ¡°No, I won¡¯t change it. It¡¯s my freedom to call your name. Ade? Ade? Ade? Hahahahahaha!¡± 0 ¡°Can you laugh like a lady?¡± He looked speechlessly at Friday who thought she had taken advantage of him, ¡°It¡¯s no match for your face.¡± 0 ¡°So you are a Male chauvinism, huh.¡± Ange showed a confident smile, ¡°And you¡¯re finally showing your true face. ¡®My face¡¯? You really are coveting my beauty, aren¡¯t you? You¡¯re planning to do something shameless to me while I¡¯m showing my weakness, right? I already see through your desire!¡± 0 ¡°To correct you, you¡¯re not my type at all, so you can rest assured.¡± Ade expressionlessly pulled up his fingers and counted, ¡°I like long hair, quiet personality, high IQ, passable emotional intelligence, low strength, oh, and whose breasts aren¡¯t so big. So you see, you are absolutely safe.¡± 0 ¡°You, you!¡± Ange shivered with excitement, ¡°Is it my fault that my breasts are big too?!¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, but it¡¯s your fault for dressing like this and coming out to scare me.¡± Ade said while walking up, ¡°The most important point, I have had two lovers, so you and I are not possible. You do not have to worry at all.¡± 0 ¡°Two?! Playboy! Scum!¡± Ange stomped her foot, ¡°And why does it sound like I¡¯m going to fall in love with you? Stop dreaming! Unless the world is going to be destroyed, I won¡¯t take a glance at you! And where are you going?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re awake, so of course I¡¯m going to check your mecha.¡± Ade waved at her, ¡°So are you coming over here or not, Friday?¡± 0 ¡°Ange! Not Friday!¡± said she as she quickly followed. 0 The two walked all the way towards the strange little mecha, and on the way, Alice asked in a low voice, ¡°Ade, according to your study materials, you clearly like big boobs-¡° 0 He silently turned off the phone. 0 ¡°Do you hear people talking?¡± Ange looked around alertly, observing the forest, ¡°It seems to be a young girl, I definitely heard it. But we should be the only ones on the island, right?¡± 0 ¡°Are you already so horny that you¡¯re hallucinating?¡± He was surprised by Friday¡¯s hearing, does she have dog ears? ¡°So you¡¯re a lesbian? That makes me safer.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not! And you¡¯re not safer!¡± Ange froze for a moment, ¡°No, no. You¡¯re safe! Uh, how does that feel wrong too, ah! What the hell to say that?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not interested in you.¡± 0 ¡°No need for a scum like you to be interested in me!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m answering your question.¡± Ade shook his head helplessly, ¡°Oh, here it is.¡± 0 What appeared in front of the two was the small mecha with looked like the original Freedom Gundam, and unlike most MS which is about twenty meters tall, the full length of this mecha is just under eight meters. Considering that even Lancelot is Gundam-ized, this so-called PM must be not a natural development from the current world¡¯s technology tree. 0 Ade has come to take a closer look before. This thing has thin armor, low firepower, except for high mobility, there is no advantage. He completely does not know what this thing can be used for. According to Friday, the dragon hunting organization is all equipped with this PM, so the dragon¡¯s combat power might be also very weak too. Not to mention Unicorn Gundam, probably even the latest RGM-79GM will be able to destroy them all. 0 ¡°Villkiss¡­¡± Ange looked at his mecha gloomily, ¡°Hey, Ade? Can you fix it? You said you were a doctor yesterday.¡± 0 ¡°The power system is busted.¡± Ade opened the broken panel and pointed to the part that was shot, ¡°The transmission part here is shot, it can¡¯t be repaired without replacement parts. We need to call for help.¡± 0 ¡°What kind of doctor are you if you can¡¯t even make parts yourself?¡± Ange said in exasperation, ¡°Can you at least turn it on? Otherwise, how can I call for help?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s not a problem, I got it working this morning. This part is undamaged and the structure is unexpectedly simple.¡± Ade walked over to the cockpit and reached in to turn on the system, ¡°Look, it¡¯s ready to boot up.¡± 0 ¡°Ah, really! It¡¯s done so quickly, you¡¯re not bad at this!¡± Ange excitedly rolled over into the cockpit and pressed the button continuously, ¡°The screen changed, this is it!¡± 0 ¡°Hey?¡± Ade froze in place, dumbfounded, ¡°What was that one you just pressed over? Why didn¡¯t I see it when I turned it on?¡± 0 ¡°Huh? Oh, that one, I don¡¯t know why I can see it when I turn it on.¡± Ange turned her head to look at him, ¡°It¡¯s a strange pattern, right? I asked Commander Jill about it and she hasn¡¯t seen it either, it seems to appear only when I turn on the computer. Have you seen this? Could something be wrong with Villkiss?¡± 0 ¡°It can¡¯t be, see it again in a place like this ¡­¡± Ade obliviously poked his body into the cockpit and reached for the control panel, ¡°Reboot it again! I want to see it again!¡± 0 ¡°Hey, hand! Your hand touched me!¡± Ange blushed with shame, ¡°You just said you weren¡¯t interested in me and now you¡¯re showing your true intention. You¡¯re definitely using this as an opportunity to take advantage of me! If you don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll do it! I count to three!¡± 0 ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it, stop!¡± Ade grabbed her hand to stop her from pressing it, turned his head to stare at her, and said in a serious tone she had never heard before, word for word, ¡°Please explain to me the origin of this Villkiss, in detail, word for word, right now! Right now!¡± 0 ¡°You, you have a scary expression, like a completely different person.¡± Ange shrank a little, then puffed out her chest, ¡°Let go of my hand! Have you forgotten how I easily subdued you last time?¡± 0 ¡°Ange!¡± 0 ¡°Ange! Not Friday!¡± She froze for a moment, ¡°Hey, Ange? Not Friday?¡± 0 Ade looked at her in silence. 0 ¡°Why are you so fierce!¡± Ange protested loudly, her voice getting smaller as she spoke, ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m grateful for suddenly calling me by my name. I¡­ I¡¯ll say it. ¡­¡± 0 Ade let go of her hand and waited for her explanation, a large (?¦Ø?) pattern was showing on the display of Villkiss at his side. 0 ¡­ 0 Arsenal is the fighting institution of the Normas who are forced to hunt dragons, and their only residence. It is isolated from the rest of the world, and the Normas on the island have to fight dragons to the death. Therefore, they are deprived of all means of leaving, and there is only a one-way entrance that can enter there from the outside. There were also people who tried to fly away with PM, but PM can¡¯t fly very far away. There are just PMs, not MSs after all. 0 At this moment, in the commander¡¯s office. 0 ¡°Commander Jill!¡± A young woman with brown hair was looking angrily at the commander who was about her age, ¡°I order you as a prosecutor to start the search and rescue operation for Ange immediately!¡± 0 ¡°Inspector Emma, your mission is to keep an eye on we Normas.¡± Jill looked at her indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m the commander here, I¡¯ll make the battle plan, please don¡¯t overstep your bounds.¡± 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t Ange lure the enemy away to protect everyone?¡± Emma glared back unconvincingly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it important for you as the commander to find her back at this time? Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it chill everyone¡¯s heart?¡± 0 ¡°Ange? Chill everyone¡¯s heart?¡± Jill sneered, ¡°That strange white giant robot will show up at any time, the most important thing now is to maintain the combat power for emergencies, that is not an existence that can be easily defeated by a few PMs. And search and rescue require a lot of manpower, not to mention it¡¯s very dangerous to go out. As the commander, my judgment is to temporarily abandon Ange and Villkiss to defend Arsenal. Do you have any objection?¡± 0 ¡°Incomprehensible cold-blooded creature.¡± Emma turned around hatefully and left, ¡°Tomorrow is the day the Earl will come for his routine inspection, I will react to the Earl directly on this issue then.¡± 1 Jill watched her leave the office without a word and turned her head to the middle-aged woman on the side, ¡°Jasmine, what do you think?¡± 0 ¡°This woman has been trying to dictate the affairs of Arsenal since she arrived a year ago, and has also taken the initiative to contact everyone, very different from the previous inspectors.¡± The middle-aged woman called Jasmine stroked the large dog by her side, her face showing a wisdom look that does not match her decrepit appearance, ¡°She usually acts thoughtful, I do not believe that this time she does not understand that it is a dangerous act to send people to search and rescue now.¡± 0 ¡°That means there is selfishness?¡± Jill picked up the lighter on the table and lit herself a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled again, ¡°The Earl is the most upper echelon of the Misurugi big shots, never cared about Arsenal, but he came to inspect here every month since Emma came. This inspector is a suspicious character that might interfere with our plans.¡± 0 ¡°A big shot? The Earl?¡± Jasmine raised her voice in confusion, ¡°You know more about the royal tropes, can you explain why the topmost big shot is the Earl?¡± 0 ¡°The Earl is very mysterious, I¡¯ve only heard of him but never seen him before. Huh?¡± Jill leaned back in her chair and leisurely exhaled clouds of smoke, ¡°I don¡¯t know the details, but since I was a child, he is the Earl, has not changed, but it is said that the royal family has to be polite to him.¡± 0 ¡°Even you don¡¯t get it.¡± Jasmine looked down and petted the dog, ¡°I remember his name is-¡° 0 ¡°Earl Peacecraft.¡± 1 Milliardo Peacecraft CH 80 Chapter 80: We¡¯ll Not Meet Again 0 Emma looked at the chattering girls on the tarmac and felt a headache. Many of whom also cast hostile glances at her. All the members of the three squadrons of Arsenal, plus the logistics management class, almost all the young girls on the whole island were gathered here just to see Earl Peacecraft in the first place. 0 Originally, there were no men in Arsenal, and there were few girls with lesbian tendencies. Since Earl Peacecraft began to visit every month last year, many girls became ardent admirers of the Earl. Even without the adoration, just looking at his handsome face is also a rare celebration for these girls who lack entertainment. 0 ¡°Salia, aren¡¯t you going?¡± Emma said to the girl beside her, ¡°Even if it¡¯s not for the Earl, it¡¯s a chance to have a good time with everyone.¡± 0 ¡°No, Miss Emma,¡± Salia shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying along with her movements, ¡°I don¡¯t need to participate in such activities.¡± 0 Although Salia had her own problems, her serious and modest personality was much better than the other troubled girls. Emma used her as a breakthrough and spent a year working on it, gradually getting along with other girls as well. 0 ¡°So here¡¯s the problem!¡± Another small girl suddenly came between Emma and Salia, ¡°Who is the only one who can¡¯t see the Earl in Arsenal~¡± 0 ¡°Vivian.¡± Emma greeted the girls, ¡°I will find Ange. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± 0 Not long after, a dark red dragon-shaped craft appeared in view. Two claw-like things could even be seen in front of the craft, with a long tail trailing behind it. The moment the craft appeared, the girls near the tarmac screamed with excitement, ¡°It¡¯s so handsome¡±, ¡°The aircraft is so cool too¡±, and so on. 0 ¡°It¡¯s definitely not an aircraft.¡± Emma chanted silently in her heart, ¡°This is definitely an MS, similar to Zeta Gundam that can transform.¡± 0 The aircraft landed smoothly on the tarmac, the cockpit opened, and a beautiful man with long blonde hair stepped out. The screams of the girls around the area became louder, and there were many shouts of ¡°I love you, Earl¡±. The blond man nodded calmly to the fans, neither looking insensitive nor too close. 0 ¡°Lady Emma, what an honor to let you greet me personally.¡± Earl Peacecraft walked up to her and made an inviting gesture, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the usual place to talk in detail.¡± 0 Emma followed the Earl into a conference room with only the two of them in it amidst the envious and jealous eyes of the girls. 0 ¡°Ms. Emma, I haven¡¯t seen you for a month, how are you recently?¡± Earl Peacecraft gestured for Emma to sit down first before he himself then followed, ¡°Lord Embryo asked me to greet you for him.¡± 0 ¡°Say hello to Lord Embryo for me as well.¡± Emma tried to be as respectful as possible, ¡°Please tell him that I miss His Highness Embryo very much.¡± 0 ¡°Please forgive me, Lady Emma, Lord Embryo is really busy.¡± The Earl patiently explained, ¡°As the Federation Norma, I¡¯m sure you can understand that recently TITANS has been making more and more frequent petty actions against Misurugi, and Lord Embryo has to be busy with international relations.¡± 0 ¡°Of course, I definitely don¡¯t mean to blame His Highness Embryo!¡± Emma showed a sincere and frightened look. 0 ¡°An independent, strong, and beautiful woman like Lady Emma has always been the most valued by Lord Embryo, so please don¡¯t worry.¡± The Earl looked like he remembered something and showed a nostalgic look, ¡°I have always respected such women the most as well.¡± 0 ¡°Lord Earl, forgive me for taking the liberty.¡± The woman¡¯s intuition told Emma that she should pursue the question here, ¡°Was it your lover?¡± 0 ¡°Was.¡± A pained look flickered across Earl Peacecraft¡¯s face, ¡°Please don¡¯t mind, it was a long, long, long time ago.¡± 0 Emma keenly noticed the Earl¡¯s change of mood and silently did not continue to dwell on it. 0 ¡°Let¡¯s discuss the issue of the attack on the first squadron.¡± The Earl quickly recovered from his unusual emotions, ¡°It was reported to be a white MS that hadn¡¯t been seen before?¡± 0 ¡°Yes, or at least a model I haven¡¯t seen before.¡± Emma replied honestly, ¡°PMs were too weak to fight against it. We couldn¡¯t even judge the opponent¡¯s combat strength. Most importantly, one PM and a knight disappeared during the engagement in order to draw the enemy away. The PM was not prepared with water and food, so I don¡¯t know how long it would have lasted if the knight had survived.¡± 0 ¡°The PM is called Villkiss, is it?¡± The Earl fell into deep thought and whispered to himself, ¡°Villkiss¡­Villkiss¡­¡± 0 Emma waited patiently for him to make a ruling. She and Ange did not have any deep feelings, and her care of this matter was only out of her own sense of justice and responsibility. If it was really rejected, then she had to give up, she had a more important mission. 0 ¡°I understand, Ms. Emma,¡± The Count said aloud, ¡°I will convince Commander Gill that I will be responsible for protecting Arsenal until the missing knight is found, and in the meantime, the knights from the other squadrons will go out to search and rescue. If we encounter that white MS, I will immediately go to reinforce them.¡± 0 Honestly speaking, this condition is really too generous, the Earl is one of the most important big shots of Misurugi, it¡¯s simply unimaginable to do this for a Norma. Emma can only think it in this way that it¡¯s because Ange is the former princess, ¡°That¡¯s the best I can imagine, but really can? Earl Lord, you protect us personally?¡± 0 ¡°No problem.¡± The count¡¯s eyes were unusually firm, ¡°I¡­ I will explain it to Lord Embryo.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Again?!¡± Ange pretended to cover her ears in pain, ¡°You¡¯ve heard it a million times in the past few days, right? Haven¡¯t you heard enough?¡± 0 ¡°Shhh! Quiet, Friday!¡± Ade glared at the blonde girl, ¡°I¡¯ll give you extra dinner tonight, so be quiet.¡± 0 ¡°Tsk, like I want it.¡± Ange bristled and squinted at the sky with a look of displeasure. 0 Ade took a deep breath and pressed the play button of the phone for the unknown number of times, a young man¡¯s voice came out from it, his tone sounded heavy and sad at first, ¡°When you hear this, it means I¡¯ve ¡­ I¡¯ve broken your encryption system, old pervert! Didn¡¯t expect it? Two three three three!¡± (PS: 2333 in Chinese is equals to ¡°laughing out loud¡±) 0 ¡°This man is a psychopath, right?¡± Ange couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°And what exactly does two three three three mean?¡± 0 Ade ignored her and continued to listen to the recording. She had asked this question dozens of times, ¡°In fact, I just lied to you. I didn¡¯t completely crack it, I can¡¯t do anything to the last hardware encryption of the three-layer encryption. I can¡¯t find a way to bypass the external device authentication. You win. But even if you hear this, it means that you have been bored to the same extent as me, somehow I have won.¡± 0 ¡°You hear that, you¡¯re already as bored as he is! I¡¯m poking my hand so much and it hurts! Do you know that!¡± Ange protested, ¡°Why am I the one poking? Why don¡¯t you do it yourself?¡± 0 ¡°Because it hurts my hand, why do you ask?¡± Ade pressed the pause button and rightfully replied, ¡°Don¡¯t lose that ring of yours. With my years of experience in watching films, that¡¯s definitely the external device certification he was talking about.¡± 0 ¡°This is the only relic my mother left for me, I will cherish it without you saying so.¡± Ange touched her finger ring with some sadness. 0 ¡°You have a good pair of parents, I¡¯m quite envious.¡± Ade smiled self-deprecatingly and pressed play to continue listening as Ange looked at him with a look of wanting to say something. 0 ¡°Anyway, I can¡¯t use this thing, but you won¡¯t be able to use it either. I¡¯m not afraid to tell you, the other two layers of encryption were replaced by me and re-encrypted with that mysterious technology from the Black History. No matter how talented you are, it will take you a few hundred years to decipher it.¡± 0 ¡°Big talk, a few hundred years? Who does he think he is?¡± Ange disdained. 0 Ade understood that this ¡°several hundred years¡± may not be exaggerated. The Black History should be Turn A. He continued to listen with full attention to see if he could find new clues, ¡°Your DNA authentication was replaced by a DNA authentication, but I can tell you, you can never think of and can not get this person¡¯s DNA! You won¡¯t be able to drive that fucking plane in your life! Wah ha ha ha!¡± 0 ¡°Our family¡¯s DNA?¡±Ange frowned in distress, ¡°This psycho knows my father and mother?¡± 0 ¡°And that voice certification of yours, you think you¡¯re playing The Super Dimension Fortress Macross? They are cute girls, and you are just a pervert! No one wants to hear your singing! I changed the voice certification, it may be singing or lines, take your time to guess! If you guessed it, I¡¯ll give you a prize, a grand prize! Give you a wife!¡± 0 The next sentence solved one of Ade¡¯s biggest questions, ¡°And that paint job of yours, it¡¯s so disgusting, I changed it to a cool protagonist color! Old pervert, look and learn from my arts!¡± 0 The man¡¯s voice ended abruptly here, but the recording did not end. After a gap of about ten seconds or so, his voice rang out again, but this time, it was unmistakably low and seemed to be recorded separately from last time, ¡°If you¡¯re not that old pervert, then I can¡¯t say anything, and you might know what I mean if you¡¯re smart enough. Anyway, cheer up, please try to become happy. We¡¯ll never meet again.¡± 0 That¡¯s the end of the recording, nothing more after that. As always, Ade was deep in thought, countless possibilities intertwined in his mind as hundreds of thousands of words of fiction were brainstormed by him. He wanted to take into account all possible developments, but also did not want to be bound by preconceived notions. In the past few days, he had done countless deductions. 0 ¡°You¡¯re not an old pervert, do you know what he means?¡± Ange looked to Ade, ¡°Oh~ it seems you don¡¯t know either, so you¡¯re not smart enough, or are you the old pervert he said?¡± 0 ¡°Have your IQ grown in the past two days?¡± Ade put down his phone, showing a surprised look, ¡°So I¡¯m relieved, you won¡¯t be bullied by your teammates even if you go back.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t need you to worry about me!¡± Ange¡¯s cheeks puffed up, ¡°Do you, do you also think I should go back ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Are you going to live here with me for the rest of your life if you don¡¯t go back?¡± Ade asked, ¡°In a couple of months I will also leave, when I go home, do you want me to take you back? I have a family, how am I going to explain to my two wives?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to your home! And you don¡¯t need to emphasize the fact that you are scum over and over again!¡± Ange suddenly thought of something, ¡°Do your two wives live in harmony?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡± 0 ¡°Ah! I see!¡± Ange made a sudden realization, ¡°They knew each other¡¯s existence and you couldn¡¯t hide it anymore! Then you came here to take refuge!¡± 0 Ade could not think of any refutation. She was right in a way. 0 ¡°Scum!¡± Ange stared at him angrily, ¡°Female public enemy!¡± 0 ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right, I know.¡± He nodded sincerely. ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m now desperately trying to avoid all the possible bad ends every day.¡± 0 Seeing him not retort at all, Ange felt very uninterested. 0 ¡°By the way, you should get along with everyone when you get back.¡± Ade had a tone of educating children, ¡°To those who bullied you, you can just ignore them, but to those who show kindness to you, you can try to get along with them. They are your teammates, at least in the team, you should have to find a few good friends.¡± 0 ¡°I know how to do it! I don¡¯t need you to teach me!¡± Ange was excited for only a short while, ¡°You¡¯re deliberately using this tone of coaxing children, aren¡¯t you? For that¡­ avoiding bad ends?¡± 0 ¡°The Astrologer declares that this week is the week of IQ, doubling the IQ of Friday?!¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s a hunch! It didn¡¯t double!¡± Ange sighed, ¡°Still the familiar feeling. Maybe I misunderstood.¡± 0 ¡°Right, according to my experience of watching films for many years, that maid of yours is an important character, you have to treat her well.¡± Ade continued to educate her, ¡°Where can you find such a loyal and lovely maid in other places? You must cherish her. A maid! A genuine cute maid! Even the transmigrator hasn¡¯t enjoyed such a benefit!¡± 0 ¡°Hey, you¡¯re showing your true nature again!¡± Ange showed an unhappy expression, ¡°And Momoka, she lied to me for more than ten years, right? My father sent her over here. She must have known I was Norma long ago.¡± 0 ¡°She helped you hide this secret for more than ten years! Do you know how hard she had tried? She lied to you¡­ it must be the emperor¡¯s orders. I just praised your intelligence and now you can¡¯t figure it out?¡± Ade can¡¯t help but speak in defense of the maid who he has never met, ¡°The most suspicious people who relieved your true identity should be your brother and sister, right? I can guess the ending after watching the first episode of this kind of romantic cliche. If I guessed wrong, you can come back to me, I will help you strengthen your IQ.¡± 0 ¡°I won¡¯t come back to you! And I don¡¯t need to strengthen my IQ!¡± Ange was provoked, ¡°I¡¯ll be right back, and you¡¯ll have no one else to bully!¡± 0 As if to confirm what she said, the next day, the search and rescue people had arrived at the neighborhood. 0 ¡°Ade¡­¡± Ange looked at the gradually approaching aircraft and hesitated, ¡°You¡¯re staying for two more months right? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you keep it a secret.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s good, help me keep it a secret and that¡¯s enough to pay off the favor of saving you.¡± Ade waved his hand at her, turned his head, and left without any hesitation, ¡°Friday, we¡¯re done, we don¡¯t owe each other, and we¡¯ll never see each other again.¡± 0 The phone suddenly rang with upbeat music. 0 ¡°Hey, there¡¯s no need to be so hardhearted, right?¡± Ange looked at his back for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses, ¡°Right, I remembered! Ange! Not Friday!¡± 0 CH 81 Chapter 81: Causes and Consequences 0 In a small town in the desert of central Senegal, a teenager pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in. The bell on the door rang with it, and the tavern owner looked up. He saw the teenager standing by the door taking a few breaths, taking off his cloak and hanging it on the shelf at the door, which had sand falling onto the floor. 0 ¡°Good noon, Kamille, same as always?¡± After receiving an affirmative answer, the owner explained to the young girl beside him, ¡°As usual, juice and lunch.¡± 0 ¡°Good noon.¡± Kamille walked to his usual seat and sat down, just as the woman brought the juice to his table, ¡°Thank you, Ms. Nanai.¡± 0 ¡°Am I old enough to be called a lady? I feel like I¡¯m still a young girl.¡± Nanai touched her cheek in an exaggerated manner, ¡°I would still prefer you to use the other call to me.¡± 0 Kamille lowered his head in embarrassment and drank the juice. Nanai smiled and took the plate away and walked to the back kitchen to prepare Kamille¡¯s lunch. 0 ¡°Not much business today, either.¡± Kamille looked around the tavern where he was the only customer and said to the owner who sat across from him, ¡°Why don¡¯t you run the tavern in Dakar? There aren¡¯t many customers in this desert, are there?¡± 0 ¡°Because one needs to be away from the land of right and wrong when reflecting on his life.¡± The owner said in a quiet voice, ¡°Don¡¯t develop the vice of testing each other in your words. What you want to ask is why I am here and why I wear sunglasses even indoors. It¡¯s because I don¡¯t want to be recognized.¡± 0 Kamille knew that the other party was telling the truth because the other party was also a NewType, which was why he dared to come to this tavern every day even at such a time. If the tavern owner really had malicious intent, at least he, who was also a NewType, could spot it immediately. 0 ¡°Why did you open the tavern, Mr. Quattro?¡± Kamille threw out the question that he had been puzzled for a long time, ¡°You know everything, you are so mature, and most importantly a NewType. I feel that Mr. Quattro should go and do more things. It is too wasteful to run a tavern in such a small place.¡± 0 ¡°My father met my mother in a tavern, and he himself died from a glass of wine. Wine and taverns are the things of my karma.¡± Quattro noticed Kamille¡¯s emotions fluctuate a bit when he heard the words ¡°parents¡±, ¡°and the individual¡¯s ability and what he should do are not related. Some people think they can do anything but end up committing faults, and some people know that things can¡¯t be done but still let go. NewType is important, but it doesn¡¯t mean everything. ¡° 0 ¡°Really? It would be nice if that were true, but unfortunately, not all people think like you, Mr. Quattro.¡± Kamille gripped the juice glass hard, ¡°It¡¯s so unreasonable to have to do something simply because you¡¯re a NewType.¡± 0 ¡°Was it an injustice suffered?¡± Quattro hesitated, ¡°Care to share your story with me?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ My father was a jerk.¡± Under his NT induction, Kamille opened his mouth, ¡°He has had a family and still had an affair outside, never mind my mother and me. My mother knew about my father¡¯s affair and didn¡¯t fight it, she just worked all day. No one talks to me every day when I come home, as if I¡¯m not their son¡­ This kind of family is too strange, isn¡¯t it?¡± 0 Quattro noticed that Nanai preparing to serve the food, so he gave her a covert hint. Nanai put down the lunch, quietly walking to the door to put up the suspended sign. 0 ¡°Then my father forced me to join a strange organization, and because I was a NewType, I had to cooperate with them to do all kinds of very hard things. If I resist, I will be punished and locked up. I am still a child, why should I be treated like this? These adults are so inexplicable, right?¡± 0 Kamille stood up excitedly as he spoke. 0 ¡°The only one who was nice to me was Lieutenant Emma, she always beat me, but I could still distinguish the kindness. But even Lieutenant Emma was forced to go on a so-called secret mission, and MIA during the mission a year ago. It¡¯s so strange, isn¡¯t it? Aren¡¯t they in the same organization? Why didn¡¯t any of them go looking for Lieutenant Emma? Doesn¡¯t it matter even if she is dead?¡± 0 The Gibraltar base was just to the north, and with Quattro¡¯s knowledge and intelligence, it was clear that the organization belonged to TITANS, and it was intriguing to guess what TITANS was doing. 0 ¡°I can¡¯t stand this!¡± Kamille waved his arms excitedly, ¡°It took me a long time and a lot of effort to determine where Lieutenant Emma was going. If those cunning adults don¡¯t go to save her, then I¡¯ll go save her myself! I can feel that Lieutenant Emma must still be alive! I almost succeeded last time if it wasn¡¯t for that obstructionist!¡± 0 ¡°So you sneaked away from that organization?¡± Quattro looked at Kamille¡¯s nervous face, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t prosecute you. Remember, I¡¯m also someone who doesn¡¯t want to be found out. You can rest easy.¡± 0 Kamille could judge the truth of Quattro¡¯s words. He let out a long breath and sat back in his seat. At that moment, Nanai served him lunch, and Kamille said thank you to her. 0 ¡°A late friend once told me that the younger you are, the more careful you must be with your words, or you will fall into remorse after you grow up.¡± Quattro hid his wistful eyes behind his sunglasses, ¡°Such a man is worthy of your admiration, but not of your study. He lived a weary life, and I fear that to his death, he will not even have experienced his youth, and the women who fall in love with him will have a hard time.¡± 0 Kamille looked at him in confusion. His NT sense told him that Quattro was a little sad. 0 ¡°Impulsiveness is a young man¡¯s prerogative.¡± Quattro gave Kamille a warm and welcoming smile, ¡°You¡¯re doing fine.¡± 0 The affirmation from others, and more importantly, from a NewType made Kamille¡¯s heart beat violently. Taking advantage of this, impulsive words rushed out of his mouth, ¡°Mr. Quattro, do you know where there is a black market?¡± 0 Quattro gave him a puzzled look, then remembered that he still had his sunglasses on, and asked, ¡°What do you want? The black market is not a place for a kid your age.¡± 0 ¡°I want to buy cameras.¡± Kamille had to continue, ¡°MS¡¯s cameras, a generic model is ok, which can be mounted on the head.¡± 0 A few hours later, Kamille led Quattro to his ¡°secret base¡± in the desert. After escaping from TITANS, he has been hiding in this place, only going out when needed. 0 Quattro stared blankly at the huge white MS, and only after a long time did he speak slowly, ¡°Although I don¡¯t want to admit the existence of fate, this coincidence is denying my part as a realist.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s called Unicorn Gundam, and I ran out of TITANS by driving it.¡± Kamille introduced it to him, ¡°The name was given by Scirocco and is said to symbolize purity, implying that this MS is untainted by Anaheim and Dr. Lingus, and was developed entirely by TITANS itself.¡± 0 ¡°Unicorn Gundam ¡­¡± Quattro muttered, ¡°The invention of Lingus and the symbol of Amuro, is this a hint to me?¡± 0 ¡°The main camera is busted, and I want to fix it.¡± Kamille pointed to Unicorn¡¯s broken head, ¡°And then I¡¯m going to save Lieutenant Emma. I was inexperienced last time, but I will succeed the next time!¡± 0 ¡°Kamille, you only have one MS,¡± Quattro asked, ¡°The other side is an organization, you are risking your life. Even so, you still want to go?¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Quattro do you know about Char Aznable?¡± Kamille could not see the other party¡¯s expression behind the sunglasses, ¡°He was someone I respected before he threw the satellite to Earth. He was the lone man who rebelled against the Zabi family, against the entire PLANT, and finally succeeded.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I can introduce you to the black market, but the main camera is not cheap for your age.¡± Quattro¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but rise slightly, ¡°I¡¯m not going to lend you money.¡± 0 ¡°I have money. My salary is pretty high in TITANS!¡± Kamille shook his fist excitedly, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Quattro!¡± 0 ¡°How do you plan to put the camera on when you get it?¡± Quattro looked at Kamille who showed an embarrassed expression and couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°I can help you find reliable people, but you have to pay the commission and my agency fee.¡± 0 ¡°Yes! No problem! Thank you so much!¡± Kamille cheered excitedly. At such a young age, having to escape from TITANS on one hand and find a way to save others on the other, for him who had to be nervous all day, this was the best news he had recently. 0 ¡°Don¡¯t rush to be happy. About TITANS.¡± Quattro calmly interrupted Kamille, ¡°Are you sure they won¡¯t find out where you are?¡± 0 ¡°They must think I¡¯ve arrived in Misurugi by now.¡± Kamille replied smugly, ¡°That Scirocco isn¡¯t as smart as I am, and I left clues that he could barely detect with his intelligence. I was undetected all the way here, too, so there¡¯s no way they can have a greater searching range than my Unicorn.¡± 0 ¡°Amuro, Lingus, even I want to believe in the possibility of humans.¡± Quattro looked at Kamille, who was excited again, and looked out at Unicorn Gundam, ¡°For the sake of the girl, do you understand? Heh, he¡¯s a shy man too.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 At this time, Misurugi airspace, three Hambrabis are flying in MA form. 0 Hambrabi is the newest MS developed by TITANS, designed by Colonel Scirocco himself. The most important feature of this MS is that it can transform into an aircraft-like MA form, which greatly enhances its maneuverability in the atmosphere and is ideal for long-distance combat. 0 Colonel Scirocco said that Hambrabi¡¯s design inspiration came entirely from himself, and had zero relationships with Zeta Gundam. It¡¯s just a coincidence that both of them can transform. Dr. Lingus also said in private before he died that Hambrabi¡¯s design had nothing to do with him. It was absolutely impossible for him to design such an ugly MS. 0 ¡°Hassa, Cooper, stay alert.¡± Yazan Gable interrupted the two subordinates who were chatting in the friendly channel, ¡°We¡¯re in another country¡¯s territory, you can talk after coming back.¡± 0 ¡°Aye, Captain.¡± The two quickly stopped chatting, one of them pursued, ¡°We have been flying for a long time, except for the deserted island, there is only the sea, found nothing. Could Unicorn Gundam not be here?¡± 0 ¡°There is that possibility, but Unicorn Gundam is one of the most important things to Colonel Scirocco right now, we¡¯ll just follow his instructions.¡± Yazan warily observed each deserted island he passed through, ¡°And this is Misurugi, all the squads that came here on previous exploration missions are lost. Don¡¯t put your guard down.¡± 0 ¡°Yes!¡± The two replied loudly. 0 ¡°This place is very strange, as soon as we cross the border, we can¡¯t connect to the communication, and the satellite can¡¯t detect anything.¡± Yazan held the joystick, keeping himself in the best condition, ¡°Diplomatically, Colonel Scirocco will figure it out. All we have to do is get enough information and get back alive.¡± 0 ¡°Captain, that¡¯s why they sent you here!¡± One of the subordinates, Hassa laughed, ¡°Captain is the strongest ACE of we TITANS, and that kid who relies on superpowers can be compared with you. If we had been sent here earlier, those squads before wouldn¡¯t die here.¡± 0 ¡°Speaking of which, what the hell is going on with that satellite?¡± The other subordinate, Cooper said casually, ¡°People said that NewType is actually a superpower, after awakening, NT can even destroy the sky and earth.¡± 0 ¡°Bullshit, you¡¯ve read too many comics.¡± Hassa disdainfully replied, ¡°Many experts have explained it. It was the impact caused by the many MSs¡¯ explosion that changed Junius 7¡¯s trajectory. That red light was caused by the pilots¡¯ blood and I¡¤field¡¯s reciprocity in the vacuum. The experts analyzed it in great detail, and you can search it on the Internet yourself. Think about it, if NTs really have superpowers, would Lingus die?¡± 0 ¡°Maybe you are right. Lingus is dead after all.¡± Cooper became excited all of a sudden, ¡°if he didn¡¯t die, fate would be too generous to him! Crap, that is Lacus! Think about it and I can not control the excitement.¡± 0 ¡°Stop it, my mouth is drooling. Widow Lacus, crap, It¡¯s so exciting!¡± Hassa agreed, ¡°Good death for Lingus, good death!¡± 0 ¡°You two.¡± Yazan interrupted them again out of the blue, then something flashed through the corner of his eye, which would never be noticed by ordinary people, ¡°Turn around! Immediately!¡± 0 ¡°Yes, Captain!¡± The two turned around without hesitation. They had developed a blind trust in their captain. 0 Yazan flew above the rather large island, turned Hambrabi into its MS form, and hovered in mid-air, slowly cruising along the coast. Just now, an extremely faint sense of violation appeared in his field of vision, but with beast-like intuition, he keenly noticed it. It didn¡¯t take long for him to find the body of the discrepancy, the woods along the coast were missing a very small piece. 0 ¡°There are signs of MS presence.¡± He informed his two men, ¡°Stay alert, search separately, and notify me immediately if you find anything suspicious.¡± 0 The three Hambrabis dispersed in an orderly manner. Just as Yazan was carefully observing the dense forest, he suddenly reflexively controlled his MS to make evasive maneuvers, and a thick particle beam brushed against him. 0 ¡°Rally, I¡¯m here!¡± He shouted to his subordinates through the friendly channel, ¡°I just found a big fish!¡± 0 ¡°Is this Inle?¡± Hassa and Cooper looked at the Gundam on the ground in shock, ¡°Isn¡¯t Lingus dead?¡± 0 ¡°Whether he¡¯s Lingus or not, it¡¯s right to kill him first.¡± Yazan showed a cruel smile, ¡°The one with that huge external set can be called Inle, this one is just the decoration inside for good looking!¡± 0 Quattro Bajeena 0 Kamille CH 82 Chapter 82: Every Dog Has His Day 4 Miss Friday had left for a few days, and Ade¡¯s life returned to the two-person, no, man-machine world with Alice again. Alice was unusually happy and talked especially a lot these days. 0 Because Miss Friday ate a lot, plus Ade also gave her extra meals from time to time, which led to his food stock planning being completely disrupted. After she left, Ade had been working hard to find food around the island to stock up on more food. 0 When Miss Friday was here, he slept in the cockpit every day, which made him have a backache, now he can finally return to his longed-for bed and take a nap every day. This day, just when he was dreaming, his phone suddenly rang loudly. He opened his eyes, and what he saw was Alice¡¯s panicked look on the screen, ¡°Ade, high energy response approaching, presumably three MSs.¡± 0 He bounced out of bed at once, three MSs, it might be TITANS¡¯s Hambrabi squad. 0 ¡°What is Scirocco doing? Does he expect such a small squad could find anything?¡± He muttered and rolled out of bed, picking up his phone and sprinting in the direction of Hyzenthlays. 0 The three MA-form Hamblabis flew past before he got into the cockpit, but just in case, he was still in the cockpit on standby. However, something weird happened. Just a dozen seconds later, the other side turned back and the three MSs scattered around the island to start a search. 0 ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense.¡± Ade was puzzled, ¡°How come they suddenly saw me?¡± 0 ¡°Ade, one MS approaching in.¡± Alice marked a high-energy reaction source on the map, ¡°We¡¯ll be spotted sooner or later at this altitude, want to go up?¡± 0 Hyzenthlays was not originally designed for intra-atmospheric combat, and now its Minovsky floating system is broken, it can only run and jump on the ground as a target. He lost most of the weapons when he fall into the atmosphere, now the only weapons he had were only one long-bladed rifle and one beam saber. 0 ¡°Let¡¯s sneak attack one first, at least it¡¯s less stressful.¡± He adjusted VSBR¡¯s power to maximum, ¡°Let¡¯s hope its pilot isn¡¯t too alert.¡± 0 As that Hambrabi got closer and closer, he held his breath to gently put his finger on the trigger. Every now and then the other party adjusted his stance to look in a different direction, and just as the other party turned his back on him, the high-energy particle beam was shot out. At this critical moment, that Hambrabi suddenly made an evasive maneuver, and this sniping hit the empty space. 0 ¡°Crap, an ACE.¡± Ade couldn¡¯t help but exclaim his bad luck. ¡°Is Scirocco so extravagant? He even sent an ACE to perform such a mission!¡± 0 Hambrabi quickly pulled up in altitude and retreated backward, while the other two MSs also flew to him in a flash. Ade had no choice but to turn on the public channel and use his ultimate skill, ¡°I, Suzaku Kururugi, don¡¯t kill nameless people. Who are you? Give me your name!¡± 0 ¡°Yazan Gable of TITANS, remember me well.¡± The other party replied as Ade expected, ¡°Suzaku Kururugi is already a Knight of the Round Table, do you think I¡¯ll believe such nonsense? You¡¯re Adrien Lingus, right?¡± 0 ¡°What? Kururugi is already a Knight of the Round Table? What has happened this year?¡± Ade held back from shouting out and said instead, ¡°Are you Colonel Scirocco¡¯s beloved man, Yazan, who is known as TITANS Beast?¡± 0 He remembered that Britannia is just across the sea, so he tried to pretend to be Kururugi to distract them, but he did not expect that Kururugi had become so famous now. His trick was like moving a stone to hit his own feet in this situation. What¡¯s worse is that Yazan directly turned off the public channel and didn¡¯t intend to chat with him at all. 0 ¡°My MS is no match for his.¡± Ade sighed with a headache, ¡°And as a top ACE, even trash talks can¡¯t distract him. How am I going to defeat such an enemy?¡± 0 The three Hamblabis lined up in the air and had no intention of landing. Each Hambrabi had two beam cannons on board and held a beam rifle, the three MSs firing intensively at Hyzenthlays. Ade could only lift the beam shield, evading on the ground with the remaining thrusters and occasionally taking time to return fire. 0 ¡°I always relied on Inle¡¯s firepower, but I never thought there would be a day I had to dodge the enemy¡¯s firepower. Crap.¡± He moved around and tried his best to dodge the attacks, while the other side could fire at him from the sky at ease, ¡°Alice, estimate their remaining ammunition and energy. The floating system is so energy-intensive, they can¡¯t fly forever, right?¡± 0 ¡°His Gundam is still not flying by now, so his floating system is probably broken. You guys, keep a safe distance and don¡¯t approach.¡± Yazan calmly commanded his two men through the friendly channel, ¡°He shouldn¡¯t know that we already have nuclear power, and is probably still foolishly waiting for us to land.¡± 0 ¡°But his beam shields and armor are tricky.¡± One of the men asked, ¡°I don¡¯t know when we¡¯ll be able to blow it up this way.¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? It¡¯s Lingus¡¯ Gundam after all, let¡¯s play it safe.¡± Yazan immediately made the best choice, ¡°Prepare for a protracted battle, take turns shooting to consume his physical energy and will. There is a 90% chance that we can capture him alive.¡± 0 Ade immediately noticed that Hambrabi¡¯s firepower thinned, and after observing for some time, he found that the opposite side was actually taking turns to rest. He tried to return fire more aggressively under such fire, but Hambrabi¡¯s mobility was good, and the opponent also hid very far away, every of his shot was evaded. 0 As time went by, Ade¡¯s spirit was worn down little by little. Now the situation has become the two sides are shooting at each other from far away, but in general, Ade was more tired. 0 ¡°This is going to be a protracted battle?¡± He exclaimed, ¡°Has Scirocco got nuclear power?!¡± 0 ¡°Ade, what to do?¡± Alice¡¯s voice was overwhelmed with anxiety, ¡°We¡¯ll be consumed at this rate.¡± 0 ¡°There¡¯s no way out, it¡¯s time to fight for physical strength and energy.¡± Ade gritted his teeth, ¡°My body is comparable to Coordinator¡¯s, and I just had lunch and a nap. They flew all the way to this island without resting. We still have a chance of winning.¡± 0 So the two sides stood off from each other. As the sun began to set toward the west, after several hours of continuous confrontation, Ade found his attention began to lose focus. The opponent, on the other hand, was definitely in a much better mental state than he was because they could take turns. 0 ¡°Ade, it¡¯s all my fault.¡± Alice¡¯s voice sounded heartbreaking, ¡°If only I were more useful, if only the auto-battle AI was stronger, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± 0 ¡°How can it be Alice¡¯s fault? It¡¯s only my programming level that¡¯s too rookie.¡± He comforted her, ¡°Put on some music to cheer me up. There¡¯s still hope, don¡¯t give up.¡± 0 ¡°Yeah.¡± Alice agreed listlessly and was about to play the song when she suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Energy response approaching in! Only one object, so fast!¡± 0 ¡­ 0 In the dressing room, Ange took off the clothes and stockings she was wearing and put them in the locker, and picked up the driving uniform to put it on. 0 ¡°Come to think of it, this uniform and the driving suit are practically the same styles. Can they be designed by the same person?¡± She said to the young girl beside her while putting on the clothes, ¡°Momoka, do you think this dress is ero¡­ erotic?¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s for sure! It¡¯s simply too shameless, jow can Her Highness wear such clothes!¡± The maid looked indignant, and then showed a worried expression, ¡°Her Highness Angelise, you are you going to battle again. Momoka will always pray for your victory!¡± 0 ¡°What are you thinking? Of course, I¡¯ll be back safely. Those things don¡¯t pose a threat to me at all.¡± Ange gave her a confident smile, ¡°By the way, I didn¡¯t expect you to really come over, isn¡¯t this the same as what he said ¡­ you must have encountered a lot of difficulties on the way, right? It must be very dangerous, right?¡± 0 ¡°For Her Highness Angelise, this little problem won¡¯t defeat me!¡± The cute maid girl replied full of energy with her hands clenched in fists, ¡°Wherever Her Highness Ange is, Momoka will follow you!¡± 0 ¡°Thank you, Momoka.¡± After changing her clothes, Ange gently hugged the maid, ¡°It must have been very hard for you to desperately hide for me for more than ten years, thank you.¡± 0 ¡°Her Highness~¡± the maid girl was excitedly at a loss for words, it looked as if she was going to cry, ¡°I, I ¡­¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s time to leave.¡± Ange let go of Momoka and patted her shoulder, ¡°Wait for me to come back.¡± 0 ¡°Well, Her Highness Angelise!¡± The maid girl looked at her with expectation, ¡°Who is the ¡®he¡¯ you said just now? Have you finally had a male friend as well?!¡± 0 ¡°No one! You have misheard!¡± Ange suddenly rolled her eyes, puffed her cheeks, and walked away, leaving Momoka with a bewildered look alone, ¡°We¡¯ll never meet again ¡­ it was too much! He is really a scum! Wait, he said never see me again, does it mean that he is not a scum? Ah ah ah, anyway, that was too much!¡± 0 Ange came to the tarmac. Everyone had already gathered and she was the last to arrive. The first squadron stood in a row, and Prosecutor Emma was doing the pre-war mobilization. To be honest, the prosecutor¡¯s duty is to monitor Normas, it was weird to hear Emma say something like ¡°please be careful¡±, ¡°you must come back alive¡±. But this kind of thing has been going on for a year, and the girls are already used to it. 0 According to Salia, Emma had insisted on sending people to search for her before, so Ange had some good feelings for Emma. 0 After listening to Emma¡¯s words, Ange boarded Vilkiss to do a pre-strike check. Looking at the (?¦Ø?) pattern that flashed on the screen, she couldn¡¯t help but mutter again, ¡°It was too much.¡± 0 ¡°Hey.¡± A teammate, who hated her and she hated her too, shouted at her, ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear me?!¡± 0 ¡°How do I know who you¡¯re shouting at if you¡¯re hey, hey, hey over and over again?¡± Ange replied indifferently, ¡°But considering your IQ, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s difficult to remember one more name, so I¡¯ll reluctantly tell you again, my name is Ange.¡± 0 ¡°Arrogant bastard¡­!¡± The girl gnashed her teeth and hammered the panel of her PM, ¡°I warn you, this time don¡¯t grab all the prey by yourself again. It¡¯s troubling that everyone doesn¡¯t have an income except you!¡± 0 ¡°Of course I will cooperate with everyone, people are social creatures, they can¡¯t live alone.¡± Ange showed an innocent expression, ¡°but with your IQ and driving skill, only I cooperate with you is not enough, you need everyone to cooperate with you. You have to say what you just said to everyone again to ensure that you have income. Or am I the last one to know that everyone has been cooperating with you?¡± 0 ¡°You ¡­ bastard, asshole! ¡± The girl didn¡¯t know how to retort her and could only repeat the same word. 0 ¡°Your current state, is a kind of self-loathing after being forced to admit the huge psychological and reality gap, clinically speaking¨C¡± Ange looked up for a moment and then said, ¡°Oh, I should go now, let¡¯s talk about this after we get back.¡± 0 After that, Villkiss began to accelerate and fly up, leaving someone who was still shouting ¡°asshole¡± in the same place with a dumbfounded face. 0 Ange was in a very good mood after sneering at the person she disliked, so she played exceptionally well during the mission. She even had time to chat in the channel while slaughtering her prey, ¡°Salia, where exactly do you think these dragons came from?¡± 0 ¡°Aren¡¯t they sent here by other country¡¯s Normas?¡± Salia was speechless that Ange would ask such a question, ¡°Focus on the mission! What if we get crashed!¡± 0 ¡°But how did the Normas out there get the dragons? You have never seen a Norma out there, right?¡± Ange pursued relentlessly, ¡°And if the outside world is full of Normas, aren¡¯t we their kind? Why don¡¯t we simply join them and instead fight to the death for Misurugi?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re a princess, aren¡¯t you, asking such things really- oops!¡± 0 Salia is obviously not as skilled as Ange and was hit while chatting, luckily it wasn¡¯t serious and Ange decisively chose to shut up after finding out her true combat level. This is the truth of why only ACEs chat in the public channel, because it¡¯s simply equal to suicide to ordinary people. 0 In the battle, Ange controlled her strength so that everyone could kill a few dragons themselves, except the one she just disliked. This time, still no one was killed in the mission and everyone was ready to return to the ship with wide smiles. 0 ¡°Speaking of which, this place isn¡¯t far from him, is it?¡± Ange looked in the familiar direction, the sun was starting to set in the west, some colors that would have been inconspicuous could instead be seen in the sky rendered by the afterglow, ¡°Salia, do you see a flash in the sky over there? A very small, faint one?¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t see anything!¡± Salia replied impatiently, ¡°Hey, what are you doing? Don¡¯t leave the group without permission!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll go check it out, you guys just go back first, don¡¯t wait for me.¡± Ange¡¯s Villkiss turned around and sped off that way as she muttered to himself, ¡°We¡¯ll never see each other again? I haven¡¯t returned the favor yet, asshole!¡± 0 PS: sorry, I uploaded the wrong chapter before. I just found the draft of c82 and uploaded it. Maybe a few grammar mistakes remain uncorrected in this draft. 0 CH 83 Chapter 83: This Is Not the Life I Want 0 Shortly after Alice noticed someone approaching, Hambrabies noticed too. Just as Ade was still guessing who it could be, a familiar voice rang through the channel, ¡°What are these people? Why are they attacking you?¡± 0 Incidentally, the channel Villkiss and the girls were using was not the same channel as the common public channel of this world, Ange they didn¡¯t even know what the international public channel was. That¡¯s why she didn¡¯t chat with the pilot of Unicorn Gundam last time; maybe both sides had spoken but couldn¡¯t hear each other. 0 ¡°I-¡± he almost couldn¡¯t hold back a curse, ¡°What are you doing here? Get back! I don¡¯t need you here!¡± 0 ¡°Hey, you are obviously being beaten! I came to help you, but what is your attitude!¡± Ange responded defiantly, ¡°Who did you offend? Why are the three of them beating you?¡± 0 At this point, in the field of vision, Ade could already see Villkiss in the form of a small plane flying around the three Hambrabis at high speed. One Hambrabi came to attack Villkiss, but the small plane was very fast, and the Hambrabi couldn¡¯t hit it at all. 0 ¡°My haters, it¡¯s none of your business!¡± Ade was shocked by Ange¡¯s moves of dodging the attacks, ¡°Your Villkiss was even shot down by a Gatling, what can you help me? Just come to die here? Hurry back, your presence itself is the antonym of help!¡± 0 ¡°I come to help me, that¡¯s too much to say that!¡± Ange weaved in and out of the fire network formed by the three Hambrabis, trying to close the distance, ¡°Last time, I didn¡¯t know there was such a thing as Gatling cannon, this time, I won¡¯t commit such a low-level-¡° 0 ¡°Beware of its hands! It can shoot hook claws with steel cable!¡± Almost at the same time as Ade said, the Hambrabi stretched out its arm and shot a hook claw at Villkiss. Ange flipped over to avoid being tied up in a shocking way. ¡°The steel cable has electricity. You will be finished if it hit you.¡± 0 ¡°Why don¡¯t you say it earlier? I almost got hit.¡± Villkiss hurried to pull away, then began to circle around the three Hambrabis irregularly again, ¡°¡­are you worried about me and afraid that I would be hit down?¡± 0 ¡°No!¡± Ade stormed, ¡°No bullshit!¡± 0 ¡°Uh, tsundere?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t take my words and use it on me!¡± He tried to snipe the Hambrabi that was chasing Villkiss to relieve her pressure, but Yazan quickly strengthed his firepower to counter-pressure him, leaving him no time to take care of Ange, ¡°This is my feud with them, besides, I¡¯m about to win, no need for you to worry about me.¡± 0 ¡°You were obviously just being beat and couldn¡¯t fight back, weren¡¯t you? I¡¯m not blind.¡± Villkiss did irregular maneuvers in the air and its machine gun could pose little threat to the Hambrabi, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not leaving. Watch it yourself.¡± 0 ¡°How unreasonable you are! Where¡¯s your intelligence?!¡± Ade chided her, but Ange simply ignored him, ¡°¡­ Friday, listen to my command.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s right! What are you doing early? Wasting everyone¡¯s time!¡± Ange¡¯s voice contained uncoverable joy, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just accept the goodwill of others? You can¡¯t live alone, for example, if you have three enemies driving robots to attack you, you can¡¯t take them out by yourself, right?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll teach you a lesson when it¡¯s over, you¡¯ve forgotten the fear of being dominated by the intelligence.¡± Ade reported several locations in a row, ¡°These are the main and backup cameras. Are you good at shooting? Try to shoot them off.¡± 0 ¡°Am I good at shooting?¡± Ange proudly bragged, ¡°To tell you the truth, I¡¯m good at both long-range combat and close combat, and every time I fought with my teammates, I had to restrain myself for not giving a blow to their self-confidence. And my physical combat skill, you have already experienced it first hand. Maybe you can experience it again later?¡± 0 Ange chatted while turning Villkiss into its human form and beginning to shoot at the Hambrabi. The opponent was a bit arrogant, giving up evasion and starting to shoot at her. Ange deftly returned fire while avoiding its attacks, and blasted the Hambrabi¡¯s main camera in one shot, followed by the several secondary cameras that exploded as well. 0 ¡°Are ACEs everywhere these days?¡± Ange¡¯s shooting skill stunned him, ¡°Friday, stand away!¡± 0 Villkiss, who was about to approach the Hambrabi, quickly pulled back and Hyzenthlays¡¯ VSBR was changed from its continuous fire mode to its high power shooting mode. The thick particle beam whistled and tore the Hambrabi into pieces. Its armor was no different from the paper in front of the VSBR in its high power shooting mode. 0 After that, the long-bladed rifle entered its cool-down mode, Ade topped up the beam shield and started running all over the place. 0 ¡°My parts!¡± Ade heartbreakingly watched the wreckage of Hambrabi sink into the sea, ¡°With it, I can repair my Gundam soon! Now it all sank into the water.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re not a bad shot, huh? But aren¡¯t you a doctor?¡± Ange¡¯s surprised voice rang through the channel, ¡°But your close combat skill is so weak, yes, it makes sense, acceptable.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for I have weak close combat skills!¡± He replied in an annoyed tone, ¡°Be careful to keep your distance and wait for the reaction of the other two before making a judgment.¡± 0 Here Yazan had three options in front of him: first, his teammate and he try to destroy Villkiss first against Hyzenthlays sniper, which is simply equal to suicide; second, let his teammate deal with Hyzenthlays while he tried his best to destroy Villkiss; third, he himself continues to confront Hyzenthlays and let his teammate take out Villkiss. 0 ¡°Why is Lingus so good at shooting? Isn¡¯t he a researcher? Cooper, you can¡¯t suppress him in the shooting.¡± Yazan made a quick decision, ¡°That strange small mech is very nimble, don¡¯t be careless like Hassa.¡± 0 ¡°Yes, Captain! I will avenge Hassa!¡± 0 Then Cooper¡¯s Hambrabi continued to fight Villkiss. Yazan chose to lower his altitude to put more pressure on the Hyzenthlays. Yazan is worthy of being a top ACE, his superb skills, keen intuition, rich experience, and excellent tactical judgment put Ade under more than the usual pressure. 0 ¡°Friday, this guy is too strong! I can¡¯t be distracted to take care of you, cheer yourself.¡± After saying that, Ade put his attention completely on Yazan, ¡°Alice, watch Ange¡¯s side, let me know immediately if anything happened.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Okay, Ade.¡± Alice¡¯s virtual image appeared in the corner of the screen with a look of trying to say something and finally disappeared silently. 0 Ange turned Villkiss into the form of a small plane, it started to circle around Cooper¡¯s Hambrabi, shooting every now and then to test the opposite¡¯s skill. Her conclusion was that this person¡¯s driving skill was similar to the one just now. But this time, the other side was very alert, and it was difficult to hit the cameras again. 0 ¡°Are all the Normas out there diving such powerful machines? It¡¯s a miracle that Misurugi hasn¡¯t been wiped out from the map by now.¡± Ange muttered to herself, ¡°How can I hit it down?¡± 0 Villkiss¡¯ assault rifle and large sword were completely unable to cause damage to Hambrabi, then there is only one choice. 0 ¡°Ade, where¡¯s the cockpit of this thing?¡± She opened the channel and inquired, ¡°I have an idea.¡± 0 ¡°On the torso, what do you want?¡± Ade sounded quite anxious, which made Ange very satisfied, ¡°Watch out for the beam saber! It will vaporize you if you get rubbed by it. Don¡¯t mess around!¡± 0 ¡°Oh, I see it.¡± Her reply was full of confidence, ¡°You focus on that one, I¡¯ll come over to help you after I get down of this one.¡± 0 She turned Villkiss into the human form and continued to point shoot at the cameras. The Hambrabi avoided with ease. But that wasn¡¯t her aim, leaning into the gap in the shooting, Villkiss continued to approach the Hambrabi. The other side put away the rifle to take out a laser-sword-like thing. This is the beam saber, right? 0 ¡°Vaporize when you get rubbed by it?¡± Ange continued to approach, ¡°Then do not get rubbed by it.¡± 0 Hambrabi also has two on-board beam cannons firing, plus the beam saber in the hand, it is on alert at both near and far range. Ange circled around it again, the other side finally couldn¡¯t keep up with the speed and revealed its weakness. Seizing this opportunity, Villkiss approached from behind, but the other side behaved as if it had an eye on its back, shooting a hook claw at her and it wrapped around Villkiss in a moment. 0 ¡°How did he see me?¡± Before Ange figures out an answer, the strong electric current from the steel cable had been transmitted to her body along Villkiss. She can¡¯t help but let out a sad cry, ¡°Yahhh-!¡± 0 ¡°Ange! Ange!¡± The anxious cry of someone came over the channel, ¡°I¡¯ll be right over!¡± 0 ¡°¡­ I¡¯m fine.¡± She forced herself to endure the pain of the electric current, and clenched her teeth, ¡°Don¡¯t you get distracted!¡± 0 Villkiss was pulled rapidly towards Hambrabi, the power gap between the two sides was too great, although Villkiss struggled, it couldn¡¯t get rid of the steel cable and got closer and closer to the beam saber. 0 ¡°Tsk, just what I wanted!¡± Ange bided her time and suddenly accelerated with all her might when Villkiss was about to be cut by the beam saber. Villkiss avoided the beam saber in the nick of time and crash hard into Hambrabi¡¯s arms. The next moment, Villkiss kicked Hambrabi backward to the limit distance of the steel cable. A cluster of ice burst near the Hambrabi¡¯s cockpit, which straightly fell into the sea after that. Due to the connection of the steel cable, Villkiss was also dragged into the sea with it. 0 ¡°Ange, Ange!¡± Ade looked at the screen and called out anxiously, but because of Yazan, he couldn¡¯t go over there, ¡°Ange!¡± 0 Moments later, Villkiss break the water and jumped onto the surface of the sea, and a reassuring voice rang out on the channel, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t like a scum like you even if you shouted so loud!¡± 0 ¡°¡­ don¡¯t get a big head. I have said that I¡¯m not interested in big tits, low IQ, violent woman.¡± He sneered as he let out a long sigh of relief, ¡°Hurry up and come over here! Let¡¯s take out this Mr. Beast first.¡± 0 At this time, Yazan¡¯s Hambrabi suddenly shot violently. As Hyzenthlays dodged its attack, it quickly transformed into its MA form, and then flew at full speed towards the sky. Before Ade reacted, it had almost disappeared from his vision. He fired a few shots, but none of them hit the target. 0 ¡°Uh, ran away?¡± He froze in place, ¡°Hey, you¡¯re an ACE! How come you ran away?¡± 0 ¡°Phew, fortunately, he ran away.¡± The voice coming from the channel sounded a little weak, ¡°Ade, come here for a second.¡± 0 When Villkiss landed on the shore, Alice was on guard as Ade walked quickly to Villkiss and opened the cockpit. Ange was still wearing the revealing pilot suit, but her body was dripping wet. She rolled out of the cockpit and suddenly fell forward on her feet. Ade grabbed her quickly and let her fall into his arms. 0 ¡°Friday?¡± He felt the soft body in his arms, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Hey, you¡¯re an existence that can kill a cow with one punch, don¡¯t scare me.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m a little numb from being electrocuted for so long. Let me rest a little.¡± Ange leaned against him weakly and even her tone had become weak, ¡°And, Ange, not Friday.¡± 0 He hesitated for a while, then picked Ange up and drove her back to his cabin and put her on the bed, then dried the water off of her with the animal fur on the bed. Ange lay lazily on the bed, letting him do everything for her. 0 ¡°It actually has nothing to do with you.¡± Ade was careful not to touch the sensitive parts of her body, ¡°I could have done it alone, look, you almost died.¡± 0 ¡°You saved my life once, and I still owe you a favor.¡± Ange looked at him, felt a little embarrassed, and looked away, ¡°I warned you, don¡¯t take advantage of me!¡± 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t I say it? You just need to keep it a secret for me. That¡¯s all the cost.¡± He tossed the wet fur aside and sat across Ange, looking into her eyes, ¡°So, am I owe you a favor now?¡± 0 ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s your business to think that way, mine is paid off anyway.¡± Ange puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, ¡°It was you who forced me to pay it back, now you know how I felt too.¡± 0 Unable to calm down looking at her eyes, Ade simply stood up and walked towards the door, ¡°I¡¯ll go boil some hot water for you, wait.¡± 0 A short time later, the young girl sat up in bed, holding a glass of water with both hands. 0 ¡°Do you need some cool water?¡± 0 ¡°No.¡± Ange shook her head, ¡°That¡¯s fine, I want something hot.¡± 0 The young girl lowered her head and took a small sip. The huge contrast between her quiet appearance and her usual appearance made Ade drift off. He took a few deep breaths to wake himself up quickly. 0 After drinking the water, Ange jumped off the bed and returned to her usual energetic self. She stretched unimaginatively and strode out of the room with confidence. Ade followed her silently. 0 ¡°What are you going to do next?¡± Ange turned her back on him and looked up at Hyzenthlays, ¡°There¡¯s still a month or so before this big guy can fly, right? The one who ran away must have gone back to call reinforcements. I have returned the favor, and I won¡¯t save you the next time.¡± 0 ¡°I don¡¯t know. But I¡¯m so smart, I¡¯m sure I can think of a way.¡± 0 ¡°Well, I have a suggestion.¡± Ange turned around, ¡°Do you want to come with me to Arsenal?¡± 0 ¡°¡­ What do you mean?¡± Ade thought he had misheard. 0 ¡°Arsenal is not exposed, I have a way to make you safe over there, and this method has worked on Momoka. By the way, Momoka is the maid you have been longing for, and she has really appeared. I¡¯m warning you, she¡¯s an important family member of mine, you can¡¯t do anything to her.¡± Ange muttered, ¡°The only downside is that you¡¯re going to owe me another favor, but that¡¯s your business, I don¡¯t care.¡± 0 ¡°No way.¡± Ade refused, ¡°If I go, what about my MS? I can¡¯t let you detain me and confiscate my weapons.¡± 0 ¡°Can¡¯t your MS move by itself? It has just been moving by itself, right? I saw it with my own eyes, don¡¯t fool me.¡± Ange pointed at Hyzenthlays, ¡°When the time comes, you can just run away. Is there anyone else who can stop you?¡± 0 ¡°That sounds reasonable.¡± Ade was in a tangle, ¡°But I felt like something was wrong.¡± 0 ¡°Are you a man? Why are you so irresolute?!¡± Ange impatiently subdued him at once, carried him up, and headed for the coast, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it, I decided for you.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ Hey?¡± Ade blinked and found himself already being carried by Ange, ¡°You¡¯re a girl, right? What kind of girl would do that?! Alice, don¡¯t shoot!¡± 0 The VSBR was already aimed at Ange, and the loud alarm in his head told him that as soon as Ange let go of him, she would be dead for sure. 0 ¡°Alice?¡± Ange drew out her gun and looked back alertly, ¡°There¡¯s no one there, who are you talking about?¡± 0 ¡°Uh, I¡¯m talking to that MS.¡± He could only explain in this way, ¡°Your actions triggered the automatic defenses.¡± 0 ¡°But it can¡¯t attack me while I have you, right?¡± Ange nodded in realization and continued to move, ¡°Did you name your MS Alice? You might be even more of a beast than I thought.¡± 0 ¡°And I¡¯m kidnapped by you?¡± Ade struggled. 0 ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t move!¡± Ange was annoyed, ¡°You touched me again! You¡¯re really just taking advantage of me, aren¡¯t you!¡± 0 ¡°Nonsense! How can you defile my innocence like this? I¡¯m not interested in big boobs at all!¡± Ade assured with conviction, ¡°So now you¡¯re going to forcefully take me to an island with only all kinds of beautiful girls, who run around all day with this shameless uniform you are wearing now?¡± 0 ¡°¡­I kind of regret it now.¡± 0 ¡°Then hurry up and let go of me!¡± He shouted angrily, ¡°This is not the life I want!¡± CH 84 Chapter 84: A Decent Man 1 Villkiss flew at full speed in the afterglow of the sunset. Ade desperately held Ange¡¯s waist, afraid that even a slight release will make him fall from Villkiss. 0 ¡°This is not a small plane at all, this is a motorcycle, right?!¡± Because the voice in the gale decayed very much, he shouted in Ange¡¯s ear, ¡°It doesn¡¯t have the seat belt and also is draughty in the wind, don¡¯t you feel cold?¡± 0 ¡°You don¡¯t need to shout so loud, I can hear you.¡± Ange slowed Villkiss down a little, ¡°Thanks for your concern, I¡¯m not cold.¡± 0 ¡°Who cares about you? I¡¯m the one who¡¯s cold!¡± Ade freezing in the cold wind, could not help but hug Ange a little tighter again. Ange¡¯s driving suit didn¡¯t cover her abdomen, so he covered her warm stomach with his arm, ¡°¡­What a surprise, you don¡¯t have eight pieces of abs!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll throw you down if you say one more word!¡± Ange uncomfortably squirmed in place, ¡°Don¡¯t move your hands, not up not down!¡± 0 Dr. Lingus, as a decent man, had no intention of taking advantage of her in this situation, but only subconsciously hugged her tightly because of the excessive excitement of this type of transportation. Alice did not follow them, but lurked at the bottom of the sea near that deserted island ¨C nanobot and Gundam are waterproof, so it will not affect the automatic repair. 0 He trusts Friday, but he doesn¡¯t trust Friday¡¯s intelligence. He doesn¡¯t know what the situation on the island is, so he can¡¯t expose Alice at present. 0 ¡°Well, Ade.¡± Ange suddenly asked. Her tone sounded a bit melancholy, ¡°I just killed someone, right?¡± 0 He immediately understood that this was the first time Ange had taken another person¡¯s life. Although he himself didn¡¯t feel anything when he first killed people, after all, Ange was a girl. Her mind would be more sensitive, right? 0 He thought about it and said in as gentle a tone as possible, ¡°You were forced to kill a bad guy to save a good guy, and from beginning to end, you were under my command. The kill should be counted on me.¡± 0 ¡°But I was the one who did it myself.¡± Ange still felt a little upset, ¡°And what kind of good guy are you¡­¡± 0 ¡°Of course, it¡¯s the person who kills the crime with the gun but not the gun kills someone with its own will.¡± He answered rightfully, ¡°What you were doing was just something similar to what a gun does. Don¡¯t overthink it, you can¡¯t understand it with your IQ.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re the one with a low IQ! I have a high IQ, higher than any of my teammates!¡± But Ange soon quieted down, ¡°It¡¯s your fault, I will stop to think.¡± 0 ¡°Your teammates have a lower IQ than you?¡± He pretended to say in a sad tone, ¡°Then I can¡¯t have a harem on the island. It¡¯s illegal to make love with retards.¡± 0 ¡°Are you through?!¡± Ange immediately blew up again, ¡°And you¡¯ve accidentally said what¡¯s on your mind again! It¡¯s true that you want to have a harem!¡± 0 After finding that Ange did not continue to dwell on the issue of killing someone with her own hands, he hummed softly without saying anything. Ange also seemed to understand something. She did not speak again. After a while, the two arrived at Arsenal and Villkiss slowly landed on the tarmac. 0 ¡°Ange! Where have you been? We have almost counted you as a deserter, do you know it?!¡± Before the cockpit was opened, they heard a young girl¡¯s angry yell from outside, and then the cockpit opened, ¡°Man, man? What, what¡¯s the situation?¡± 0 Ade let go of Ange and rolled down from Villkiss, only to see a young girl with two ponytails standing not far away, and behind her stood a lot of people in a dense crowd. It seemed that everyone was waiting for Ange to return. 0 ¡°You¡¯re quite popular, so many people waiting for you.¡± He whispered to Ange, then walked to the twin ponytail girl and saluted, ¡°Hello, my name is Adrien Lingus, I am a Norma from the outside world. I accidentally landed on a nearby deserted island and was picked up by Ange. Sorry for the trouble I caused you guys.¡± 0 ¡°Hello, my name is Salia, and I¡¯m Ange¡¯s squadron leader.¡± The young girl politely returned the salute, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it was Ange who caused the trouble. Please don¡¯t mind.¡± 0 ¡°Hello, Salia, it¡¯s so lucky to meet such a polite girl in a time of trouble.¡± Ade gave her a gentleman¡¯s smile. Unlike Ange, this girl was obviously a very well-educated girl, ¡°Excuse me, are you in charge? Then let me explain to you what happened. Ange may not be able to say it clearly.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m not in charge, you¡¯re too polite.¡± Salia saluted again, ¡°Commander Gil and Inspector Emma are in charge here, I can introduce you to them.¡± 0 While speaking, he keenly noticed a young woman in the back row of people. She was dressed differently from everyone else and showed a surprised expression as if she knew him. What¡¯s even more interesting is that there was a young girl in the crowd wearing a maid¡¯s outfit, most likely the Momoka that Ange was talking about, and in his consciousness, she was actually a NewType, but she herself seemed to be unaware of it. 0 Ange glared irritably at Ade, who was chatting happily with Salia, and muttered to herself, ¡°Long hair, not big boobs¡­¡± 0 ¡°Ange, explain immediately, what¡¯s going on?¡± A woman came over. Salia whispered to Ade that this is Commander Gil, ¡°The Norma of the outside world should be handed over to Misurugi for execution, what kind of place do you take Arsenal for?¡± 0 ¡°The same as Momoka then, I bought his right to live here.¡± Ange locked eyes with the commander, ¡°How much is it?¡± 0 The commander quoted a number. After thinking for a while, Ange walked over to Salia, ¡°Lend me some money.¡± 0 ¡°Why?¡± Salia¡¯s quiet look broke at once and she instantly got excited, ¡°That¡¯s almost all my savings! I won¡¯t lend it to you!¡± 0 ¡°Oh, so.¡± Ange shouted in an emotionless voice, ¡°I¡¯m a beautiful Maiden Holy Knight-¡° 0 ¡°Wow! Whoa!¡± Salia covered Ange¡¯s mouth immediately, ¡°Borrow! Borrow! I borrow as much as you want!¡± 0 ¡°You hear that, so there¡¯s that.¡± Ange looked at Ade smugly, ¡°I bought your right to live in Arsenal, you are now my personal property.¡± 0 At that moment, another group of girls came, probably because they heard Ange had brought a man back and all came to see him for fun. He heard the conversations from the crowd, such as, ¡°Although he is not as handsome as¡­ he is also not bad¡­¡±, ¡°I do not dare to go alone, let¡¯s go together¡­¡±, ¡°Get out of the way, let me come first ¡°and so on and so forth, which made Ade had a chill with sweat streaming down his back. 0 ¡°¡­I hope to see Gundam, any type is fine.¡± He said to himself with his hand on his forehead feebly, ¡°I always feel that I just transmigrated into another anime.¡± 0 In fact, he was very willing to be brought to this place by Ange, not for the girls, but for the opportunity to pry information from the inside. The information Ange gave almost shattered his worldview, which he could not accept in any way. The dragons and superpowers she said were too bizarre, and it was his responsibility to ensure a safe worldview for the important people around him like C.C., Lacus, and Mineva¡­ and this was something only he could do. 0 After a bit of fussing, Ade got to know the main characters on the island. Everyone was surprisingly receptive to the whole ¡°buying people¡± thing. He was then assigned a clean and tidy room, similar to the one described by Ange. 0 After shooing the noisy girls away, the inspector took Ade to a conference room. She locked the door and stood across from Ade, gave him a military salute, and then sat down, ¡°Hello, Dr. Lingus, I am Lieutenant Emma Sheen of the Gibraltar Base affiliated, TITANS.¡± 0 Ade opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Her words made him feel that he had immediately transmigrated back. 0 ¡°Doctor, I know you have a problem with Colonel Scirocco, but it¡¯s urgent, so please hear my explanation first.¡± Emma stopped him from asking and continued, ¡°A year ago, I was ordered by Colonel Scirocco to carry out a secret mission in Misurugi with two teammates. After we arrived here, we were attacked by an unknown black Gundam. My teammates were killed, and I was unfortunately captured. The Gundam was very strong that we were taken down in one shot.¡± 0 ¡°An unknown Gundam?¡±Ade thought of Villkiss, ¡°I thought this place has only PM.¡± 0 ¡°That was misinformation, there was at least one black Gundam-type MS in Misurugi, and a red MS that was suspected to be capable of shape-shifting,¡± continued Emma, ¡°I met Misurugi¡¯s supreme after being deprived of all means of communication, not the king, but a mysterious man named Embryo. I was sent here after gaining his trust.¡± 0 ¡°Another unheard of character has appeared, the man behind the kingdom.¡± Ade silently thought in his heart, ¡°According to the general plot, this probability is the final BOSS of this drama. Important information.¡± 0 ¡°I have basically gained the trust of these young girls here during this year, but have not been able to find a way to leave.¡± Emma looked at him apprehensively, ¡°Doctor, I want you to temporarily put aside your preconceptions about TITANS and work with me to find a way to leave.¡± 0 Here comes the biggest advantage to being a transmigrator. Ade knows that Emma is probably a ¡°good guy¡±, a person he can cooperate with. If it¡¯s not Emma but Katejina Loos in front of him, he would probably make a confused face and run away secretly. 0 He pretended to hesitate for a while before speaking slowly, ¡°I have no idea how to leave, but I agree to cooperate with you for the time being. My only condition is to share information with me, especially in detail about that unknown Gundam and this Embryo.¡± 0 Emma breathed a sigh of relief. Her greatest fear was that the doctor would refuse to cooperate because of Scirocco, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s so lucky to meet one of our own in such a bizarre place.¡± 0 After a long chat with Emma, it was already time for bed. He didn¡¯t want to look for Ange at this time, so he just returned to the room assigned to him and thought on the bed. Emma¡¯s description of the dragons and superpowers is similar to Ange¡¯s, so he could only obtain more information after actually seeing them. 0 About Embryo, in addition to his disgusting speech and behavior, he didn¡¯t show any useful information in front of Emma. Before he could do anything, he must figure out the purpose and means of this Final BOSS in advance, in case that Embryo is another Creuset. 0 And the two MS in Emma¡¯s description, he had an unreliable guess about the red one, but no matter how to say this, it was too unscientific. He shook his head, thinking he must have guessed wrong. As for the black one, he was completely clueless because it sounded not like any Gundam he knew. He rummaged through his memories, gradually getting sleepy and eventually sinking into sleep. 0 Under the moonlight, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Ade¡¯s room. This person in a well-made green suit playfully surveyed Ade. 0 ¡°Is this NewType? I finally have a chance to see it up close.¡± He seemed to be murmuring to himself or to someone, ¡°Just as you predicted, very interesting existence. It seems my understanding was a little wrong. Mana is a failure.¡± 0 Ade rolled over in his sleep, from lying on his side to lying on his back, revealing his senseless and sleepy face. 0 ¡°Being entangled by the fate called Gundam. It¡¯s much like you.¡± The man walked to Ade¡¯s bedside and unconsciously put his fingertips towards Ade¡¯s cheeks, ¡°Even his eyebrows and eyes look like you. My ¡®old friend¡¯, how can this not make me miss you?¡± 0 At the moment his fingertips were about to touch Ade, the man suddenly disappeared into nowhere, and almost at the same moment, Ade opened his eyes. He rolled over and sat up, looking around, only moonlight spilling through the window into the room, no sign of anyone¡¯s presence. He rushed out of the doorway and looked to the left and right, and there was no sign of anyone in the corridor. 0 ¡°What the hell.¡± He sat back on the edge of the bed and fumed, ¡°My NT radar can¡¯t be wrong, so it was ¡­ well, a night crawling from a girl?¡± 0 Feeling that he had come to the right conclusion, Ade lay down in bed. It was only early in the morning and he was still very sleepy, so he quickly fell asleep again. 0 The next morning, Ade was awakened by Ange and brought to the canteen. The maid girl had been respectfully followed by Ange¡¯s side. Looking at the young girls in the canteen, all wearing revealing uniforms, Ade once again felt that he should be transmigrated to some kind of r18 anime. 0 Ange took two breakfasts and placed one in front of him, ¡°You¡¯re my private property now, they won¡¯t attack you, probably, and I won¡¯t let you starve to death.¡± 0 ¡°Thanks, I have to eat and use your things.¡± Ade looked around, ¡°Are you sitting alone? Shouldn¡¯t you sit with your teammates while eating and talking?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, I get along fine with them.¡± Ange sat down across from him, ¡°I have Momoka. It¡¯s fine just like that.¡± 0 ¡°Relationship problems among troubled girls, I see.¡± Ade nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll help you with that before I run away, just as a favor to you. I¡¯m very good at educating children, and have had very successful cases.¡± 0 ¡°Just find an excuse to talk to girls, I¡¯ve seen through your ruse.¡± Ange grunted, ¡°If you were pressed to the ground by them, I wouldn¡¯t come to save you.¡± 0 After the meal, Ange went to her routine training. With nothing to do at present, Ade came to Momoka. There was one important thing on her that needed to be verified ¨C what Mana is, and why is she marked as a NewType by his NT radar. 0 Although the one in front of him was a maid in white silk, he immediately got rid of these unnecessary thoughts after thinking of C.C. and Lacus, ¡°Hello, Miss Momoka.¡± 0 ¡°Hello, Mr. Ade, please just call me Momoka.¡± The maid girl politely raised a bow, ¡°You are Her Highness Angelise¡¯s only male friend, so please get along with Her Highness.¡± 0 Although this maid girl was so cute, understanding, and thoughtful for her master, he definitely didn¡¯t have any messy thoughts, ¡°Momoka, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, it¡¯s an extremely important matter.¡± 0 ¡°May I ask what it is?¡± The maid folded her hands in front of her body and tilted her head slightly, showing a puzzled expression. 0 ¡°I would like to ask you to accompany me to study the nature of Norma and Mana, which is related to the stability of the world and the future of humanity.¡± He put on the most upright smile he could manage, ¡°I am a decent person, and I will never do anything strange. I just want you to cooperate with me in a few experiments that are purely for scientific purposes.¡± 0 CH 85 Chapter 85: The Gundam You Ordered Has Arrived 0 Finished training, Ange in the base aimlessly looking for her maid. Although Inspector Emma had already explained to everyone that Ade was only a civilian, she still sent her maid to follow him just in case. 0 She turned around but didn¡¯t find them, so she decided to go back to the dormitory area to take a look. Walking to the door of Ade¡¯s room, she heard the sound of conversation coming from inside. 0 ¡°What are you doing hiding in your room in the middle of the day?¡± Ange thought of something and uneasily pressed her ear to the door. ¡°No, it can¡¯t be.¡± 0 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be this big.¡± It was Ade¡¯s voice, ¡°Was it this big since you were a kid?¡± 0 ¡°It was smaller when I was small, and it gets bigger slowly after I grow up.¡± This was the voice of her cute maid. 0 ¡°Is it? Let me take a closer look.¡± Ade¡¯s voice paused for a moment, ¡°Can you raise your hand and move it?¡± 0 ¡°Is that so?¡± Momoka did what she was told to do. 0 ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it. Is it okay if I touch it?¡± Ange felt very confused listening to their talk. 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, please.¡± I can¡¯t bear it! Momoka was really cheated by him too! 0 ¡°Ade, you¡¯re too much!¡± Ange angrily pushed open the door of the room, only to see the two of them standing face to face fully clothed, and Momoka was emitting a glow-like barrier from her hands, ¡°¡­ ha?! What the hell?!¡± 0 ¡°What do you think?¡± Ade looked coldly at the young girl, ¡°Miss Friday, how about explaining what was too much? Or is your dirty brain thinking of something unimaginable?¡± 0 Ange opened her mouth, blushed, not knowing what to say. 0 ¡°You don¡¯t believe in my character, I understand it.¡± Ade made a face like ¡®Dude, I¡¯m disappointed in you¡¯, ¡°Don¡¯t you have any trust in your own maids as well? Do you know how sad Momoka is to be doubted by her master like this? To take a step back, Miss Momoka¡¯s strength is much higher than mine, how can I do anything to her? Where is your intelligence?¡± 0 Ange¡¯s face became even redder. 0 ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t say it, always criticizing you makes you even less confident.¡± Ade gestured outside with his eyes, ¡°Momoka and I still have some unfinished business, please close the door from outside the room, thanks.¡± 0 Ange nodded her head dizzily, walked outside the room and closed the door, then stood in the hallway for a while. After a while, as the people passing by pointed at her, she suddenly realized something, ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. How did I get outside?¡± 0 She pushed the door open again, ¡°Humph, you almost fooled me. If you didn¡¯t do anything unspeakable, you wouldn¡¯t care if someone was watching, right?¡± 0 ¡°Then sit down.¡± Ade said indifferently, ¡°If you want to see it, you can just say it. How do I know you want to see it if you don¡¯t say it? If you want to see it, I will show it to you. It is not possible to say that you want to see but I do not let you see, you do not want to see but I have to let you see. What are you waiting for? Sit down.¡± 0 ¡°Hey?¡± Ange came back to her senses and sat down honestly on the chair, ¡°Oh.¡± 0 Only the maid lady hid her mouth and laughed very happily the whole time. 0 The experiment continued, and in Ange¡¯s confused eyes, Ade threw things, threw water, blew air, and even let Ange fire two shots at the barrier that the maid had made, which proved that the barrier was strong enough to resist even the kinetic energy of a bullet. Finally, Ade touched it lightly with his hand and the barrier disappeared. 0 Next, he did some things that Ange could not understand, some of which seemed rather obscene to Ange, but considering that she would be criticized for her low IQ again if she pointed it out, Ange skimmed and decided not to say anything. After it was all done, he started pacing back and forth in the room, his brow furrowed, looking like he was thinking about something complicated, and his mouth murmured something Ange did not understand at all. 0 ¡°NewType with only the communication function, it can only be marked but can not mark others. Since so, how can it achieve the communication function? Not p2p direct connection, is it by the transit station? Then where is the transit station and what is the medium? And what is NewType¡¯s connection medium? I surprisingly never thought of this before, what a failure.¡± 0 ¡°The field against physical defense can be negated by free will, is it the wall of the heart? But why could it deny the reality so easily? Was there an external increase? This is simply an inferior version of the artificial angel, are there angels in this worldview? The will determines the matter, so this is actually a materialistic world?¡± 0 ¡°Misurugi is full of such people, that is to say, there is a country of inferior NewTypes plus inferior angels. Is it genetically customized or catalyzed by a special device, or both? Considering that the country is closed for secrecy, if this is the secret research result of this country, then the final boss of this country is far stronger than Creuset.¡± 0 ¡°However, if this is the final hidden BOSS, his appearance is too easy and too early ¡­¡± 0 Ade just keep pacing there, murmuring something as his face became more and more serious. Ange looked at him helplessly and was about to ask, but the maid stopped her and shook her head silently. 0 Ade suddenly stopped and looked up at her, ¡°Friday, is this where all the Normas found in the country will be sent? No ones left out?¡± 0 ¡°Well, yes.¡± Ange nodded, then muttered in a small voice, ¡°It¡¯s definitely intentional to call me by the wrong name at this time.¡± 0 ¡°A genetic mutation with a not low probability, an inferior and unstable artificial human. I know what the final BOSS is.¡± He clapped his hands, facing Momoka and Ange, ¡°Momoka, thank you for your cooperation today, it helped me a lot. Well, Friday, do you have anything else?¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s your attitude?¡± Ange felt unhappy and left, ¡°Momoka, let¡¯s go and let him play by himself.¡± 0 ¡°You are too kind.¡± The maid raised a bow to him with a smile on her face, ¡°Please don¡¯t mind His Highness¡¯s rudeness, in fact, Her Highness Angelise and you are getting along very well, please continue to get along with Her Highness Angelise in this way in the future.¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t say unnecessary words!¡± Ange turned around and pulled Momoka outside, ¡°I don¡¯t want to get along with such a person! I don¡¯t care about him. Let¡¯s see if he¡¯s going to get pressed to the ground and do something by others!¡± 0 Ange said so, but still let Momoka secretly monitor Ade, and instructed her ¡°I do not allow other people to touch my thing¡±, ¡°You can only come to save him when he is about to be killed¡±. 0 After several days, Momoka reported that Ade had neither been forced nor beaten, much to Ange¡¯s disappointment. She waited reluctantly for a few more days, still nothing happened, so she simply withdrew Momoka¡¯s surveillance. 0 The next days were uneventful. Until one day, she suddenly reacted to the fact that all her teammates had changed their attitudes towards her, and even the ones who were previously hostile to her were now pleasant to her. Unaware of this, she ordered Momoka to inquire it, but heard the shocking truth from the maid¡¯s mouth. 0 ¡°Your Highness Angelise, in fact, a member of the second squadron went to him on the first day after removing Ade-san¡¯s protection.¡± Momoka told her, ¡°She entered Ade-san¡¯s room for two hours before coming out, and came out in tears, murmuring things like ¡®It was so nice to meet Ade-san¡¯.¡± 0 ¡°Huh?¡± Ange cleared her ears with her fingers, ¡°Momoka, you are not mistaken, right?¡± 0 ¡°After that, there were girls going to look for him every day, sometimes even several people together.¡± The maid lady continued her narration with a smile on her face, ¡°All of them came out of Ade-san¡¯s room after a few hours, and their reactions were all similar.¡± 0 ¡°Is he a devil, is he?¡± Ange gulped, ¡°Could my teammates¡­ also¡­¡± 0 According to Momoka, at first, a red-haired girl in the first squadron went to his room with an arrogant look and came out a few hours later hugging and crying. Then a blue-haired girl went to revenge the red-haired girl, after a few hours, she came out, crying with a happy smile. Then Salia the squadron leader went to question him, after a few hours, she came out and only knew saying ¡°Ade-san said¡±, and ¡°Ade-san said¡±. The rest of the team went to look for his troubles one by one, and eventually, the whole team became what they are now. 0 Ange found Salia, hoping Momoka had gotten the wrong information. 0 ¡°Ade-san is also a person who likes to read books, and he said that girls who love to read books are admirable.¡± Salia said with respect, ¡°He also said that girls who like to read teenage manga are dreamers, and he was even willing to discuss the plots of teenage manga with me. He knew everything and helped me with many of the problems I encountered as a team leader. He also said that being needed by others is a basic human aspiration, but the more important thing is ¡­¡± 0 Ange couldn¡¯t listen any longer. She felt that Salia had been brainwashed, so she then went to find the red-haired girl and the blue-haired girl. 0 ¡°You are a princess who was born with everything, you would not understand it.¡± The red-haired girl said with a sad look, ¡°But Mr. Ade understands me, he has also had this experience, he understands this pain, this despair, and this struggle.¡± 0 ¡°Mr. Ade told me what a true friend is.¡± The blue-haired girl with a satisfied look, ¡°He also told me what it takes to make a friend, and he was even willing to be my friend. I realize now that I was wrong all along and that Mr. Ade was right. I was so stupid, really.¡± 0 The same conversation happened to Ange and each of her teammates. 0 ¡°It¡¯s so, so scary, is this what he¡¯s really made of?¡± Ange shivered, ¡°This base is about to fall, Momoka, what should I do?¡± 0 ¡°Your Highness, you don¡¯t need to do anything.¡± Momoka smiled and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, why don¡¯t you just go and ask him?¡± 0 Ange hesitated for a long time and decided to follow Momoka¡¯s advice. When she barged right into Ade¡¯s room, there was a girl from the third squadron in the room, and she kicked her out without saying a word. When the girl was thrown out, she was very upset and kept saying things like, ¡°He is not your personal property even if you pay for it!¡± and ¡°Let¡¯s club together to buy Mr. Ade back.¡± 0 ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡± Ange slapped the table in anger, making a ¡°pop, pop, pop¡± sound, ¡°Want to turn the whole base into your harem?¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t slander me! I¡¯m pure and innocent, okay? I didn¡¯t touch a single girl in the entire base.¡± Ade looked at her innocently, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say before? I would help you solve the interpersonal problems among your teammates before I ran away? Look, isn¡¯t everyone treating you much better now?¡± 0 ¡°¡­it seems to be?¡± Ange immediately changed the topic back, ¡°No, no, no, that one just now is not even from our squadron, right? It has nothing to do with what you¡¯re talking about.¡± 0 ¡°These girls were looking for me themselves, most of them have some mental illness, so I helped guide them a little. Or that? I can¡¯t just throw them out, right?¡± Ade rightfully replied, ¡°And I find you¡¯re right, you do have the highest IQ in this base.¡± 0 ¡°Right? I told you so!¡± Ange nodded happily, then realized something, ¡°But why are you so pleasant to them, and only call me Friday? Are you deliberately targeting me?¡± 0 ¡°Is it? I don¡¯t think so.¡± Ade looked down and thought about it, ¡°Maybe you¡¯re too easy to bully, so I just couldn¡¯t control myself?¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re too much! I¡¯m sure you have a go at me!¡± Ange stared at him viciously and squeezed her knuckles, ¡°I¡¯m going to make you understand today that intelligence isn¡¯t all I have!¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll warn you in advance, you¡¯re a girl! Behave like a lady!¡± Ade stared at her fearlessly, because his NT Radar didn¡¯t ring at all, indicating that she wasn¡¯t really going to beat him. 0 ¡°You are now my private property, I can do whatever I want, no one will come to save you even if you scream!¡± Ange said and suddenly stopped, the vicious expression disappearing from her face, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why did you suddenly put on a serious expression? I¡¯m not really going to hit you.¡± 0 Ade still had that same look, not moving a muscle. 0 ¡°Just kidding, I was joking. Why are you like this? Can¡¯t you even afford a joke? Can¡¯t I resist even if you bully me?¡± Ange waited again, but Ade still did not respond, ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯m wrong, I¡¯m wrong.¡± 0 ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that this place is not exposed?¡± Ade suddenly spoke up. 0 ¡°Huh? Yes.¡± Ange nodded, ¡°I got rid of that big white guy before and didn¡¯t expose the base. So what¡¯s going on with you?¡± 0 ¡°He has found this place. I can¡¯t show up here, so use your brain to think of a solution yourself. I still owe you a favor, don¡¯t die.¡± 0 CH 86 Chapter 86: The Day of Unicorn Gundam 0 Kamille drove Unicorn Gundam, flying over the vast ocean and recalling in his mind what Mr. Quattro had told him, ¡°The full-body psycho-frame is too dangerous for the immature NewType, this Unicorn has a power that you can¡¯t control now. I¡¯ve got an interesting piece of information, and now I¡¯m going to do something very important, just wait for me to come back.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ve been involved since the design stage and have been with the Unicorn for one year, Quattro-san simply thinks I¡¯m just a child who can¡¯t be trusted.¡± Kamille chanted reluctantly, ¡°Saying something important? He must be thinking that I¡¯m just a kid so he doesn¡¯t want to tell me.¡± 0 He waited for a few days and couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so he left a note and a map for Mrs. Nanai and left secretly with Unicorn. 0 ¡°I¡¯ve had enough of these adults¡¯ excuses.¡± Unicorn cut through the sea and sped away, ¡°I¡¯m going to prove to Mr. Quattro that I alone can save Lieutenant Emma, just like Char Aznable did. My NT abilities have skyrocketed since obtaining Unicorn, and I¡¯m sure I can do it with Unicorn.¡± 1 He found the island where the super small MS crashed last time, and then picked a random direction and started flying. After flying for a while, he felt wrong and changed the direction. After a long time of blindly wandering around the sea, he suddenly felt a flash of electricity in his brain, ¡°This feeling, that NT on the island last time?¡± 0 He went full speed in the direction of the NT until a small island with artificial buildings appeared in front of him, and the powerful NT he sensed was inside, and he could vaguely feel Lieutenant Emma¡¯s breath there. 0 ¡°This must be the place.¡± He turned on the public channel and shouted, ¡°I am the pilot of this white Gundam, I don¡¯t want to take forceful measures, please hand over Lt. Emma Sheen of TITANS.¡± 0 Kamille waited for a while, no one responded, so he shouted again, and still no one answered him. At that moment, a number of anti-aircraft guns suddenly rose up in the open space of the island and fired at him. Kamille hastily unfolded his shield. 0 ¡°You guys made me do this!¡± He removed the beam magnon hanging on the back of Unicorn and fired at the anti-aircraft cannons on the island. The thick stream of particles plowed the ground, and the anti-aircraft cannons on it went up in smoke, ¡°I repeat, please give me back Lieutenant Emma!¡± 1 As if in response to him, many small planes flew out of a hollow opening on the island, firing at him as soon as they came out. In a flash, there were a dozen small planes flying around him, constantly strafing Unicorns with assault rifles. The attacks came from all directions, but Kamille didn¡¯t even bother to deploy his shield. 0 ¡°This is the newest PS armor, your live fire attacks are meaningless.¡± He looked left and right in mid-air, ¡°What can such weak Mobile Suits do? Just hand over Lt. Emma to me. What¡¯s the point of doing something like that?¡± 0 A PM turned into the human form and rushed to him. His danger foresight made him reflexively use the Gatling cannon, and after being shot, the PM fell into the sea with fire coming out of its body. He then felt sad and angry emotions, from the NewType on that island. 0 ¡°Why are you angry? It¡¯s obviously the fault of the person who took Lt. Emma away, right?¡± He swept the swarm with his Gatling cannon, ¡°I¡¯m just a child and come to do this dangerous thing, I¡¯m the one who should feel angry, right?¡± 0 ¡°This is Commander Gill. of Arsenal.¡± A voice finally rang out from the public channel, ¡°Why are you attacking us? Please answer immediately.¡± 0 ¡°What¡¯s the point of playing dumb now?¡± Kamille yelled angrily, ¡°I¡¯ve told you so many times, give me back my lieutenant!¡± 0 ¡°Who is the lieutenant referring to?¡± The person who called herself the commander was still playing dumb, ¡°Please narrate clearly, who exactly are you referring to?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ve had enough of these cunning adults.¡± He angrily turned off the public channel, ¡°Playing dumb and stalling for time to think of a countermeasure. What a dirty tactic!¡± 0 The Gatling cannon continued to strafe, PMs kept falling into the sea, occasionally, one or two PMs would be able to rush to him, and Unicorn broke them with one punch, but there were still PMs flying out from the island and rushing to him. Every time a PM fell, that NewType would become sadder and angrier. That NT had been trying to drill into Kamille¡¯s head, which made his spirit under great pressure. The intense headache made him very painful. 0 ¡°It¡¯s not my fault, why are you angry at me? It¡¯s obvious that they are the ones who want to die!¡± He slapped down a PM with his shield and roared at the air, ¡°If you don¡¯t resist, you won¡¯t die, why don¡¯t you understand?¡± 0 But that NewType didn¡¯t understand him at all, and still kept trying to rush into his head, which made his headache get worse. 0 ¡°What Quattro-san said about NewType being able to understand each other is really a lie!¡± He gripped the joystick tightly and hit his head against the back of the seat, desperately trying to relieve the pain, ¡°I¡¯m in pain, stop talking to me, I¡¯m just a kid! Shut up, shut up, shut up! You, you ¡­ you damn NewType!¡± 0 At this instant, the NT-D logo flashed on the cockpit display, and Kamille¡¯s entire body was fixed to the seat. At the same time, the armor on Unicorn Gundam unfolded, revealing the psycho-frame under the armor emitting a red glow, and the antennae on the head of the MS opened in two from it. 0 The PMs nearby crashed into the sea one by one as if they suddenly broke. The other PMs found something wrong and rushed up to throw freeze cannonballs at Unicorn, but the cannonballs were blocked by an invisible barrier. 0 ¡°I¡¯m going to wipe out this damn¡­ NewType!¡± Kamille¡¯s headache-ridden brain seemed to be tainted with black mud, hazily, left with only this one thought, ¡°Destroy ¡­ destroy the NewType!¡± 0 Without even using his vision, it was as if Unicorn was an extension of his perception, and he quickly locked on to that NewType, right in that opening where the pile of small planes flew out. He zoomed in on the camera and could see a familiar face. He couldn¡¯t remember who it was, but that didn¡¯t matter. 0 ¡°Found you.¡± He muttered to himself and raised the beam magnum to the figure, ¡°NewType, destroy.¡± 0 Then he pulled the trigger. 0 Ade had a splitting headache. Every time a girl¡¯s PM crashed into the sea, his headache would increase a bit. This is the cry of life in a life-and-death situation, the voice of the soul. 0 At the moment Unicorn shot, a PM by inertia flew to block it. The beam magnum hit it and that PM fell with the momentum. She was just one of his many psychologically counseled girls, and she would do so only because she was the closest. 0 Unicorn simply ignored the other PMs and continued to target him with the beam magnon, before firing, another girl flew to it and blocked the shot, then her PM crashed. 0 ¡°That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to get too close to these ordinary NPCs! I will also feel painful to see them die at any time!¡± Ade painfully held his forehead and moaned, ¡°Where is the final BOSS? The enemy has come to your door and you still don¡¯t come out? 0 Momoka looked at him worriedly. Emma went to his side and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, if I had stood out early¡­¡± 0 Ade shook his head. Emma was here as an undercover agent, it was impossible for her to reveal her identity at the first time, and by the time Commander Gill opened the public channel, the other party had already given up communicating. He knew who the pilot was immediately after hearing his voice, but it was pointless to say that now. 0 Kamille¡¯s manic consciousness had been refusing to talk to him, and now after turning on NT-D¡¯s destruction mode, his mind was even more blurred, almost swallowed by the machine ¨C a combination like this was too dangerous. 0 ¡°Get Ange back.¡± He said to Emma in a deep voice, ¡°This is a problem between NewTypes.¡± 0 Receiving the order to return, Ange landed on the tarmac, and Ade rolled over and jumped onto Villkiss, holding her waist tightly and whispering in her ear, ¡°Ange, trust me, don¡¯t ask questions. Now the other side¡¯s target has become me, take me with you, I need your strength.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ hold on tight, it will be very fast.¡± Ange made a reassuring gesture to Momoka on the tarmac, ¡°I won¡¯t let us get hit.¡± 0 Villkiss took off again as fast as it could. Not surprisingly, Unicorn¡¯s view followed it and it flew, and everyone retreated under Ange¡¯s command to give Villkiss room to fly. Ange kept flying at full speed, and Ade held her tightly so he wouldn¡¯t fall. The beam magnon hit the air behind him from time to time, and he could feel the heatwave from the high-energy particle stream. 1 ¡°Ange, I¡¯m sorry for dragging you into this danger.¡± He felt Ange¡¯s soft and flexible body but did not have any charming thoughts, ¡°This may be a bit too much to say, but I have to focus on one thing, in case of falling, remember to grab me. You do not need to attack, just focus on running.¡± 0 ¡°Which thing you did to me wasn¡¯t too much? I got used to it long ago.¡± Ange replied with a refreshing smile, ¡°You, only at times like this do you call me by my name. Don¡¯t worry, leave your life in my hands.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s in your hands, Ange.¡± Ade took a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing his consciousness on Unicorn. Unicorn in its destruction mode is the best conductor of mental induction at the moment, ¡°Unicorn, lend me your power.¡± 0 The psycho-frame under Unicorn¡¯s armor glowed blood red as if in response to him, and his consciousness struggled to fly through the heavy barriers, struggling to break through the quagmire of the system, and finally striking straight at Kamille¡¯s consciousness. 0 ¡°You little brat! Come to your senses!¡± 0 ¡°¡­NewType?¡± Kamille gave up thinking in the quagmire and only reacted instinctively, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault, why are you blaming me? I¡¯m not at fault, I just wanted to save Lieutenant Emma, and I didn¡¯t want to kill anyone. Unicorn Gundam told me, just wipe you out, just wipe you all out.¡± 0 ¡°No blaming yourself on the machine!¡± He roared in Kamille¡¯s head, ¡°You fired the gun, you moved the hand, and you don¡¯t have that awareness? Saying I don¡¯t want to kill while shooting, have a limit on your hypocrisy!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t bother me, don¡¯t scold me, don¡¯t reproach me!¡± Kamille¡¯s will cried out under the stimulus, ¡°I¡¯m not wrong, you damned NewType, don¡¯t ask me the same thing as an adult, I¡¯m just a child!¡± 0 ¡°Children shouldn¡¯t play the hero save the beauty like adults! You are obviously secretly in love with Emma, right?¡± 0 ¡°You ¡­ children also have their own ideas!¡± Kamille¡¯s blank eyes were covered with blood, ¡°This kind of NewType, this kind of adult ¡­ I want to teach you a lesson!¡± 0 Unicorn suddenly drew its beam saber and accelerated towards Villkiss, and as Villkiss turned to avoid it, the beam magnum blasted into the fire. Villkiss did a 360-degree pirouette to avoid the beam magnon¡¯s fire, but Ade senselessly detached from Villkiss and fell in mid-air. 0 ¡°Ade?!¡± Ange accelerated downward violently, grabbing Ade with precision and flinging him back into the back seat, ¡°I told you to hold on! What are you dazed about?!¡± 0 She looked back at Ade, who frowned and completely ignored her. She helplessly grabbed his hand and put it in front of her body, and Ade¡¯s hands unintentionally grabbed where they shouldn¡¯t grab. Ange thought for a second, ¡°Forget it, this time, it doesn¡¯t count as you taking advantage of me.¡± 0 The Ade who was fully concentrated did not enjoy it, he was still scolding Kamille angrily in the sea of consciousness, ¡°Only the child in puberty will be annoyed and resort to violence after being lectured. Give up thinking and full of sophistry, will you only be intelligent in these small ways?¡± 0 ¡°Did I offend you by being smart? What¡¯s wrong with resorting to violence? What¡¯s wrong with giving up thinking?¡± Kamille took it for granted, ¡°Mr. Quattro has said that children are allowed to behave as they please!¡± 0 ¡°What the hell does he know about teaching children! Is this what he taught?¡± He only wanted to beat Char to death at this moment, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you are the main character, guys like you are not qualified to drive Gundam at all!¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m the one who wants to drive it!¡± Kamille shouted hoarsely, ¡°Scirocco threw this thing in front of me and forced me to drive it, I don¡¯t want to be the test pilot! It¡¯s hard, it¡¯s going to get hurt, I¡¯m going to be confined, and my parents don¡¯t care about me, and Lieutenant Emma was even snatched away by you guys, and Mr. Quattro doesn¡¯t trust me. I¡¯m just a kid, what do you think I¡¯m going to do?!¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t it your own will to sit on Gundam now? Is it Scirocco who is forcing you to shoot now?¡± Ade growled, ¡°Don¡¯t use your age as an excuse, get off Unicorn if you don¡¯t want to drive it. People who sit on Gundam are not entitled to be capricious!¡± 0 ¡°But ¡­ but!¡± 0 ¡°No buts, what the hell is your will? Is it to shoot me dead? Is it to revenge society? Or do you want to save Emma? Use your brains to think!¡± 0 ¡°But I¡¯m just a kid ¡­¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re sixteen years old, you¡¯re becoming an adult every day! Do you want to use this excuse until your eighteenth birthday?!¡± 0 ¡°I ¡­ I ¡­ Unicorn Gundam said ¡­¡± 0 ¡°Unicorn did not say anything, do not put the blame on it, the question is what do you really want? What is your will? I will say it again, use your own brains to think!¡± 0 ¡°Don¡¯t rush me, I¡¯m trying very hard to think!¡± Kamille twisted his head desperately, ¡°I ¡­ I ¡­ don¡¯t want to destroy NewType, I want to get Lieutenant Emma back!¡± 0 As if in response to his will, the light on Unicorn suddenly disappeared and the armor on it returned to its original state, and the antennae on the head also merged into one. The thing that bound Kamille was also automatically opened, the operation mode was cut back to manual, and he slumped in his seat, breathing heavily. 0 Ade closed his eyes at the same time and let out a long breath. Forcing a conversation with someone against NT-D was so exhausting that he slumped exhaustedly on Ange¡¯s back, pretending to ignore the feeling of touch from his hands, ¡°Ange, freeze cannon, aim at the thrusters.¡± 0 ¡°¡­ understand.¡± Ange smiled helplessly, with a hint of spoiling. She didn¡¯t know what Ade had done, didn¡¯t know what had just happened, but she instinctively understood. 0 Villkiss flew towards Unicorn Gundam, gradually approaching behind it, and was about to bring it into the range of the freeze cannon when Ade suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Evade!¡± 0 Ange reflexively obeyed his instruction, and a particle beam struck where they had just been. 0 Unicorn Gundam was still dazed in place as Ange continued to do irregular evasive maneuvers to avoid the shots coming from afar. A moment later, another gray and white MS appeared next to Unicorn, leering at the duo with its beam gun, but the pilot¡¯s mind in it was filled with shock. 0 ¡°There are two of these things, I really don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to fight, Ade, what should I do?¡± Ange¡¯s voice came from the front, ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you if you say go. And you can let go of your hands now, if you continue, I¡¯ll really get angry.¡± 0 ¡°No need to fight, this is the culprit of all this.¡± He secretly moved his hands away as if nothing had happened, ¡°Sinanju Stein ¡­ so TITANS is already bankrupt and in a clearance sale?¡± 1 MSN-06S Sinanju Stein CH 87 Chapter 87: Main Character and Supporting Actor 0 ¡°Char, listen to me.¡± Ade¡¯s voice rang out directly in Char¡¯s mind without any obstacles, ¡°Immediately threaten the other party to hand over Emma Sheen by force, then take Kamille to leave. The other party will agree. Sinanju continues to point the gun at me, and never act as if you know me.¡± 0 ¡°Lingus, why are you here?¡± Char was surprised to find himself able to talk to Adrien in his own head, ¡°And how did you do this?¡± 0 ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal to level up the NT ability after pushing the satellite? I pulled you in right after I said hello, and you didn¡¯t reject me.¡± Ade replied rightfully, ¡°It¡¯s easy, can¡¯t you do it?¡± 0 Char, ¡°¡­¡± 0 It was too fake for the two MSs facing each other motionlessly in mid-air, but Char, as a man who had used fake names all his life, acting was already an inseparable part of his soul. He immediately turned on the public channel to negotiate with Arsenal. In a great superior situation, this kind of negotiation is easier than drinking water for him. 0 ¡°It¡¯s not the right time to ask, so I won¡¯t ask more questions.¡± Char spoke to Ade while dealing with Arsenal, ¡°Aren¡¯t you coming with us? It doesn¡¯t look like you¡¯re being held captive by this lady.¡± 0 ¡°I have mastered the way to leave, and I will go back after a month at most.¡± Ade looked down at the logistics unit that was fishing for the dropped PMs in the sea, feeling the pain and grief coming from their consciousness, ¡°I can¡¯t leave now, I still have things to do.¡± 0 He does not care if Kamille is a protagonist or the strongest NewType, now he has no good feelings towards Kamille. They are not relatives, not friends, he is very restrained to not to kill Kamille at this time, for the sake of Char. 0 Luckily, Kamille did not use the beam weapons, but the 60MM Gatling cannon is already enough to kill PMs. Most of the girls are lucky, only their PMs were broken, and there were just falling into the sea. Some with bad luck were directly hit by the Gatling cannon. It¡¯s not even possible to find their bodies. 0 Although this is another country¡¯s military base, Ade can not interfere with their military affairs, he still wants to do something for these poor girls. For example, the design of PM is too brain-dead, he is trying to transform them with a reasonable cost to improve the pilot¡¯s survival rate, and he plans to hand over the design to Ange when he¡¯s going to leave. 0 He had also some other ideas like liberating all Normas, but that would be after eliminating the final boss. 0 ¡°About Kamille Bidan, Char, don¡¯t apply your theory to him, think about what a twisted character you are yourself.¡± Ade criticized him unmercifully, ¡°Look what you¡¯ve taught him, do you think you¡¯re qualified to live with Mineva now? I¡¯ll say it straight, you¡¯re not even at the same level with Haman.¡± 0 ¡°Mineva¡­¡± mentioned this, Char was silent. 0 ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, learn, and if you can¡¯t learn, give it to someone who can. I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re projecting on him, but you know exactly how much trouble an NT can stir up. If you continue, this will only get more people killed.¡± Ade¡¯s intention was as cold as frost, ¡°I¡¯m not his father, I don¡¯t have time or love to offer him. The next time we meet, if he¡¯s still like this, I¡¯ll have to eliminate the source of danger before he causes more harm.¡± 0 ¡°Lingus, I understand your attitude, and this is indeed your truest thought.¡± Arsenal has surrendered, and Char ordered Kamille to take Emma back, ¡°Your suggestion ¡­ I will consider it.¡± 0 ¡°And Unicorn, Kamille Bidan should keep away from Unicorn. Even you can not control it, what can an immature NewType like him do?¡± Ade continued to criticize Char, ¡°To put it straightly, no one, including Amuro, in this world can handle it except me. I suggest you either dispose of it or sell it to Anaheim.¡± 0 ¡°That¡¯s unexpectedly convincing coming from the man who pushed Junius 7 away.¡± Char laughed in a complicated way, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect an unexpected meeting after a year to be like this.¡± 0 ¡°What else do you want to hear? Nice to meet you? I never thought that Char Aznable could joke around.¡± He could feel that Char had changed, but that didn¡¯t mean that they could be friends, ¡°What are you going to do to Emma Sheen?¡± 0 ¡°She¡¯s still a soldier of TITANS and can¡¯t be with us. This rescue is just to fulfill Kamille¡¯s wishes.¡± Char answered, ¡°I¡¯ll put her down halfway, I¡¯ve got things to do, and Kamille and I can¡¯t be exposed yet.¡± 0 ¡°Will he agree?¡± Ade grimaced, ¡°He wouldn¡¯t remember who you are if he got mad. He may even shoot you with the beam magnum.¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯ll handle it in the adult way, before he has a chance to protest.¡± Char seemed to have figured something out, ¡°You¡¯re right, he has to understand or he can¡¯t participate in what¡¯s going on back there.¡± 0 ¡°See you then.¡± Ade didn¡¯t want to continue talking to him, ¡°Whatever you want to do, I hope we¡¯re not on opposite ends of the battlefield the next time we meet.¡± 0 ¡°You seem like you want to do something too? I can only say that this is highly unlikely.¡± Char understood Ade¡¯s attitude, yet that didn¡¯t mean he was the least bit grumpy, ¡°I¡¯ll tell Mineva that you¡¯re alive, so the little princess can be happy too.¡± 0 ¡°Well, it¡¯s time to let her ¡­ not right, wait?¡± Ade suddenly reacted, ¡°Char, you play tricks on me!¡± 0 However, Char ran away with Kamille in the blink of an eye, ignoring his shouts in his consciousness. Ade felt a headache. 0 ¡°Well, Ade.¡± Villkiss began to fly slowly in the direction of the base when Ange¡¯s voice pulled him back from the sea of consciousness, ¡°Are you a creature similar to the People of Mana? Were you just¡­ talking to them?¡± 0 ¡°You have terrible intuition, it seems the Creator is fair, what is lost is compensated by something else.¡± He didn¡¯t know how to express his gratitude, except to give her a gentle hug from behind, ¡°Thank you, Friday.¡± 0 ¡°Friday?!¡± Ange was instantly irritated, ¡°After you¡¯re done using and touching me, my name immediately changed from Ange to Friday? Call my name, now, immediately! Or I¡¯ll throw you down from here right now!¡± 0 Ade felt amused at the sound of her blowing up and didn¡¯t respond with a smile on his face. 0 ¡°Uh, what¡¯s wrong, why don¡¯t you talk?¡± Ange couldn¡¯t see his expression, so she felt a little uneasy, ¡°I, I¡¯m just kidding, it¡¯s not like, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m really going to throw you down. Why do you always look like this? Is it fun to bully me?¡± 0 ¡°Very interesting, too interesting, more interesting than designing Gundam.¡± He hugged her gently again, ¡°Thank you, Ange.¡± 0 ¡°Oh, well, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Ange suddenly didn¡¯t want to go back, so she pretended that she was lost and circled around in the sky, ¡°You do not have to be too sad, everyone is actually used to this, not many people died this time, it does not affect the missions in the future.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of number, I won¡¯t get used to it, ever. If the supporting actors died, they would really die and wouldn¡¯t revive. They don¡¯t even appear in the cast list. But I refuse to accept it.¡± He said to Ange, but also to himself, ¡°No one is alone, in the sky and on the ground, every soul that passed away is always with me.¡± 0 ¡°Ade?¡± The serious atmosphere made Ange a little uncomfortable, ¡°You ¡­ don¡¯t think too much, it¡¯s not good for your health.¡± 0 ¡°Char is reflecting, so am I. I thought about it for a whole year, I can¡¯t just wait for things to come to me. Retirement at twenty-five is not realistic, so I will try to get done everything before the age of forty.¡± His hands held Ange¡¯s waist a little tighter, ¡°No more drama of Genesis or Junius 7 again. We need a world where everyone can live happily.¡± 0 Ange didn¡¯t understand what he was saying, but she instinctively understood the conviction coming from the voice, so she hesitantly asked, ¡°Do you need me to do anything? I want to be the power of ¡­ for the good of the world.¡± 0 ¡°No need.¡± Ade replied with a smile, ¡°You just keep being silly and cute, Friday.¡± 0 ¡°Ange! Not Friday!¡± Ange uttered the words with nostalgia, it always felt like a long time since she had said them. She looked back and shouted them again, ¡°Ange! Not Friday!¡± 0 A little fearful of feeling nostalgic for this, Ade spoke up to remind her, ¡°Had enough flying? Shall we go back? The world hasn¡¯t ended yet, and I¡¯m not going to let it end.¡± 0 ¡°Why do you want me to think about it?¡± Ange¡¯s voice suddenly slumped down and she maneuvered Villkiss to fly back, ¡°It¡¯s no fun bullying me like this ¡­.¡± 0 ¡­ 0 ¡°Lord Embryo, is this really good?¡± The man known to everyone as Earl Peacecraft was treating another man with respect, ¡°What do you think of Arsenal¡¯s loss or Emma Sheen¡¯s escape?¡± 0 Embryo leaned back in his recliner and watched a live feed from some unknown perspective, showing the very interior of Arsenal¡¯s tarmac, where a blue and white PM was slowly landing, with cheers of joy from the people around it. 0 ¡°Arsenal was supposed to be a scrapyard, and it didn¡¯t matter how many Normas died. Emma Sheen had never been truly subservient, it¡¯s a bit of a shame, but it doesn¡¯t really matter.¡± He turned off the screen with boredom, ¡°What about you, are you genuinely subservient?¡± 0 ¡°Of course I am-¡° 0 ¡°I don¡¯t care either.¡± Embry interrupted him, reflecting back on what he had just seen. ¡°So that¡¯s what the so-called NewType resonance is all about. NT-D is something that ¡®he¡¯ designed all by conjecture and imagination without ever seeing a real NewType. I didn¡¯t think it could really have such an effect. Unlike these monkeys, ¡®he¡¯ is really a remarkable person, don¡¯t you think so?¡± 0 There was another person in the room, who stood respectfully beside Embryo along with Peacecraft. He seemed to be doing some kind of thought struggle and answered after a long time, ¡°An amazing person indeed.¡± 0 ¡°This world is dangerous, and there is not much time left for us.¡± Embryo ignored him and turned to Peacecraft, ¡°I have understood what NT is, the next thing we need is angels. Have you made any progress?¡± 0 ¡°Two targets were found, but neither could be guided to the range of the Dawn¡¯s Royal Pillar.¡± Peacecraft looked terrified, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if it doesn¡¯t work, you¡¯ll have to do it yourself, my lord.¡± 0 ¡°¡®If the BOSS is too strong, then he must have serious personality flaws or IQ flaws, and he will eventually fall miserably in a very easy task and die. Then the audience will complain and scold the writer for his low IQ of designing such stupid plot.¡¯ I remember that¡¯s what ¡®he¡¯ said, and in fact, I did almost fall miserably in a very easy task.¡± Embryo looked at the man playfully, ¡°Are you encouraging me to expose myself to angels? Do you think I haven¡¯t grown at all since then?¡± 0 ¡°How dare me?!¡± Peacecraft hurriedly got down on one knee. 0 ¡°I don¡¯t care about your loyalty.¡± Embryo laughed disdainfully, ¡°For a proud person like you, kneeling is something worse than death, what has kept you going so far? Is it for your ¡®alive¡¯ sister? Or do you still hold on to some unrealistic hope, such as ¡®he¡¯ will suddenly appear one day and defeat me?¡± 0 ¡°I¡¯m always loyal to you!¡± 0 ¡°¡®Whether you believe it or not, I do believe it anyway.¡¯ I remember that¡¯s what ¡®he¡¯ said, very interesting sentence.¡± Embryo poured himself a glass of red wine and elegantly lifted his goblet and shook it, ¡°Nostalgia has made me a little sad, but I have to say, ¡®his¡¯ failure was worthless, falling a hundred thousand miles away from the ¡®truth¡¯. ¡®He¡¯ didn¡¯t even figure out how I existed until the end, somehow even worse than Treize. Isn¡¯t that ridiculous?¡± 0 Peacecraft kept his head down and didn¡¯t say anything, trying to keep a poker face. 0 ¡°Look, you¡¯ve got another important piece of information: Treize might know some ¡®truth¡¯.¡± Embryo looked down contemptuously at the kneeling Peacecraft, ¡°But then you remembered that Treize was dead and got frustrated all of a sudden.¡± 0 Peacecraft still perfectly interpreted the meaning of expressionless. 0 ¡°You feel that you¡¯re the protagonist with a blood feud, and now, your endurance to the enemy is only for the sake of revenge someday.¡± Embryo raised his head, indicating the turned-off screen, ¡°The three NewTypes are the same. One designed Gundam to guide the direction of technology, one changed the situation of the world, and one got Unicorn Gundam and is immersed in self-touching. They all think they are the protagonist of this story. ¡° 0 No one dared to answer, and Embryo felt a little bored. 0 ¡°¡®He¡¯ is also, always doubting whether he is the protagonist, doubting whether others are the final boss, doubting whether the plot is going to collapse, doubting whether there is something wrong with the world view, that is because ¡®he¡¯ does not see clearly one thing.¡± He drained his glass of red wine and ended the topic, ¡°It¡¯s obvious that I¡¯m the protagonist, not any of you.¡± 0 CH 88 Chapter 88: The People Left Behind 0 With the bell ringing, it was time for school to end at Anaheim Elementary School. Mineva, carrying her backpack, chatted with her classmates in a casual manner, with a smile on her face, and greeted everyone gracefully after arriving at the school gate, then got into a car and sat in the back seat. Children would subconsciously imitate the people around them, and Mineva in the school always behaved like a small mixture of C.C. and Lacus. 0 ¡°Audrey.¡± Uraki greeted her casually, ¡°We have a long detour to take to Anaheim to pick up someone.¡± 0 ¡°Sister Lucette? Yeah.¡± Mineva pulled out her phone and looked at it as she spoke, ¡°Uncle Kou, when are you having babies?¡± 0 ¡°Not yet.¡± Uraki scratched his head in embarrassment and started the car, ¡°Your Sister Lucette got another promotion and her salary is getting higher than mine, I¡¯m under a lot of pressure at home. She didn¡¯t mention that she wants a child, so I didn¡¯t mention it neither.¡± 0 ¡°Then I¡¯ll talk to Sister Lacus and ask her to give Uncle Kou a salary increase?¡± Mineva looked up from the phone and looked at him fervently, her little face made a very serious look. 0 ¡°No no no, just casually talking, you don¡¯t tell her.¡± Uraki smiled happily. He is truly like Mineva, ¡°In this society, education is very important. I graduated from military school and suffered a lot of losses because of my low education. Audrey, you must study hard.¡± 0 Uraki was originally Dr. Lingus¡¯s bodyguard, after the death of Dr. Lingus, Lacus had become a widow with a daughter, and she dismissed him for fear of being gossiped about by others. Uraki understood Lacus¡¯s decision, and after marrying Lucette, he applied for the job again. This time, he became Mineva¡¯s full-time driver. 0 ¡°Well, I got good grades, and I was the best of the class in the final exam last year.¡± Mineva was flipping through her phone when a big smile suddenly bloomed on her face, ¡°Uncle Ade will praise me when he comes back, I want Uncle Ade to play high-flying with me!¡± 0 Uraki went silent. Only Mineva of all people kept believing that the doctor would come back, and no one could bear to burst her hopes. 0 After a while, Uraki received Lucette in Anaheim from work, and the three of them went to the Lingus¡¯ mansion. Soon after the Doctor¡¯s disappearance, Lacus and C.C. moved and bought another large house. The house was in the best part of the capital and was said to be fully paid for. Uraki and Lucette calculated, if they worked hard enough, they may be able to buy the same house before they retired. 0 Uraki went to park the car alone, and Lucette took Mineva into the house. As soon as Mineva changed into her slippers, she snapped and ran to Cagalli and hugged her, then put her little head sideways on Cagalli¡¯s belly. Cagalli nodded to Lucette in greeting, stroking Mineva¡¯s little head with a gentle smile. 0 ¡°Audrey, etiquette.¡± C.C., who was sitting on the side, made a cold voice, ¡°There are still people who you haven¡¯t greeted, right?¡± 0 Mineva shrank her head, embarrassed and let go of Cagalli, and greeted one by one honestly, ¡°Sister C.C., Sister Cagalli, Brother Kira, Sister Mayu, Sister Stella, and Brother Shinn.¡± 0 ¡°Only Kou is the uncle, and we are sisters and brothers, I feel sorry for him.¡± Shinn joked, ¡°He isn¡¯t a few years older than us, I wonder how Audrey actually counted.¡± 0 ¡°Ade is also an uncle!¡± Mineva corrected him seriously, and everyone went silent again at once. Mineva didn¡¯t care about the awkward atmosphere and continued to hug Cagalli, ¡°Sister Cagalli, how much longer before they come out?¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s only six months, it¡¯s still early.¡± Cagalli also did not care that Mineva would ask this question every time, it¡¯s very normal for a child to be curious about this, ¡°After they are born, Audrey will be their sister, you can take good care of them.¡± 0 ¡°Yeah, yeah!¡± Mineva nodded vigorously, ¡°I¡¯ll have a brother and a sister by then! Sister Cagalli, what are their names?¡± 0 ¡°Uh, about this¡­¡± Cagalli looked blankly to Kira, ¡°Kira, what are their names?¡± 0 ¡°I haven¡¯t, haven¡¯t thought of one yet.¡± Kira immediately used the catch-all answer, ¡°What do you think?¡± 0 ¡°Well, this¡­¡± Cagalli stroked her chin for a few seconds and gave up, ¡°My name means lights, your name means luminous, I hope their names will have the same meaning. I can¡¯t think of one, it¡¯s better for you to decide.¡± 0 ¡°Lights and luminous?¡± Mineva said incredulously, ¡°Isn¡¯t that like¨C¡° 0 ¡°Audrey.¡± C.C.¡¯s voice rang out again. Mineva didn¡¯t know what mistake she had made, but she definitely made a mistake anyway, so she reflexively shrank her head. 0 ¡°The name issue is important, huh?¡± Kira¡¯s forehead was instantly filled with sweat, ¡°How about we go ask someone more learned?¡± 0 ¡°Ask Uncle Ade when he gets back!¡± Mineva raised her hand excitedly, ¡°Uncle Ade knows everything!¡± 0 No one was too eager to take that up, except Shinn who mustered up the courage to reluctantly respond, ¡°¡­ Yeah.¡± 0 ¡°Sister C.C..¡± Mayu whispered to C.C., ¡°This kid hasn¡¯t actually spent too much time with Ade-san, right, so why is she so affectionate to him?¡± 0 Today was supposed to be a get-together to celebrate Mayu being able to walk, but Mayu wasn¡¯t upset at all that she wasn¡¯t the center of the conversation. She was standing next to C.C., Shinn nervously holding her up for fear of the slightest problem, and Stella was staring at Shinn with a resentful look on her face. 0 ¡°Either you don¡¯t remember, and if you do remember, you can¡¯t forget, this is called NewType,¡± C.C. laughed softly, ¡°It¡¯s all like this.¡± 0 Everyone had thought that Mineva would soon forget Ade, but everyone underestimated how deeply NewType remembered each other. Mineva often mentioned Ade in talks as if she didn¡¯t know what happened. C.C. and Lacus were both pained by Mineva at first, but now, they had gradually got used to it. 0 At almost seven o¡¯clock, Lacus, who was dressed professionally, finally came back. She greeted everyone one by one, touched Mineva¡¯s head intimately, and went straight back to her room to change her clothes. The women in black suits behind her set the bought food on the table and then respectfully exited. Today, Lacus just had an emergency press conference, she does not have the time and energy to cook at this time. 0 Mrs. Lingus is now the press spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Lunar Government, mainly responsible for lulling Moonlight-Butterfly-related issues. These women in black suits are transferred to her from Diana¡¯s personal guard, considered as Ade¡¯s legacy. 0 After a while, Lacus, who had changed her clothes, came out of the room and greeted everyone at the table for dinner. 0 ¡°Congratulations Mayu, you can finally walk on your own.¡± Lacus invited Mayu to sit at the top and herself as the hostess to sit at the bottom, ¡°Everyone is happy for you, but I¡¯m afraid the happiest is Shinn, right? He must be happier than you yourself.¡± 0 ¡°Brother is happy that he can finally get rid of his burden and can spend full time with his girlfriend, right?¡± Mayu pouted petulantly, ¡°Now you don¡¯t have to help your sister with muscle rehab or wash her feet every day, how nice it is.¡± 0 ¡°I swear to God, there¡¯s absolutely no such thing!¡± Shinn looked very excited, ¡°I¡¯ll still treat Mayu as usual in the future, no, better!¡± 0 ¡°Shinn.¡± Stella beamed and pulled him, ¡°Shinn, what about me?¡± 0 Both Lacus and C.C. looked at the anxious Shinn and couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, but the laugh contained a bit of desolateness. 0 Mineva felt the tangle of emotions in the air for a moment, then pulled out her phone, opened a picture, stuffed it into C.C.¡¯s hand in one go, and then ran all the way to Cagalli to hug her tightly behind her. 0 C.C. felt confused and watched Mineva for a while, then looked down at the phone. Within two seconds, her face changed from shock, ecstasy, fear, anger, relief, and finally to flatness. 0 She expressionlessly shoved the phone into Lacus¡¯s hand, spoke with a choke in her cold voice, ¡°Mrs. Lingus, look at this, you must want to divorce, right?¡± 0 Lacus took the phone, looked at the picture, and stared in disbelief, her eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her chest rose and fell violently. She lifted her other hand to cover her mouth to keep from making any sound, but tears were still welling up in her eyes. 0 The atmosphere was eerily quiet as everyone looked at C.C. and Lacus in turn in dismay. 0 ¡°Audrey.¡± C.C. patted Lacus¡¯s back and looked at Mineva, who was hiding behind Cagalli at this moment, ¡°Who and when was this sent to you?¡± 0 ¡°Uncle Char, a month ago,¡± Mineva replied in a whisper, but everyone could hear it in the quiet. At this point, no one cared why the infamous Char was mentioned there, because her next words were this, ¡°Page down, Uncle Char says that Uncle Ade will be back soon.¡± 0 There was a sudden clanging sound on the table, and it was Uraki and Shinn who simultaneously stood up in excitement and knocked over the dishes in their hands. The two looked at each other, both seeing a shocked expression on each other¡¯s faces. 0 ¡°Look at his movements, his expressions.¡± C.C. sneered in a hoarse voice, ¡°If there¡¯s two, there¡¯s three, his nature is never changed.¡± 0 ¡°Never changed?¡± Lacus took a deep breath, took a tissue to wipe her eyes, and immediately calmed down, ¡°Nothing to worry about, I am Mrs. Lingus.¡± 0 C.C. raised an eyebrow and looked at her playfully, not saying anything. 0 Lacus turned to the next page to read Char¡¯s message, followed by a gasp, ¡°He¡¯s in a military fortress on Misurugi¡¯s territorial waters?!¡± 0 Everyone looked at her uncertainly. She shook her head and said with a worried expression, ¡°Today¡¯s emergency press conference is for this, this week, TITANS and Britannia are going to conduct joint military exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, very close to the Misurugi kingdom. Colonel Scirocco and Charles are forcing the military exercise against the opposition of the entire Federation Parliament, and everyone is speculating if they are going to attack Misurugi.¡± 0 ¡°So they also got the information? Are they actually going to rob the doctor?¡± Uraki said excitedly, ¡°Then we have to get the Doctor back before they do!¡± 0 Shinn nodded hardly. 0 ¡°Not necessarily yet, there¡¯s no need for such a big show if they just want to get Ade.¡± Lacus frowned thoughtfully, ¡°There should be other reasons. If Colonel Scirocco did it just for a personal grudge to vent his anger, why did Charles cooperate with him?¡± 0 ¡°Ade has offended Britannia for me, a blood feud, don¡¯t you know?¡± C.C. said, ¡°Just take your time to think of the reason, Uraki, Shinn, come with me when the time comes.¡± 0 ¡°You¡¯re simply as twisted as Ade.¡± Lacus sighed breathlessly, ¡°The Atlantic Ocean is so big, how will you find him if I don¡¯t go?¡± 0 ¡°Humph, it¡¯s so convenient to have the Lingus radar.¡± C.C. grunted, ¡°It¡¯s hard for Loran to stabilize the situation, Diana and he won¡¯t intervene to it, but they can give us some convenience.¡± 0 ¡°So there is not enough battle power, right?¡± Cagalli said to Kira beside her, ¡°Kira, you go too, I really still want Dr. Lingus to name the children for us.¡± 0 Kira took Cagalli¡¯s hand and nodded to Lacus and C.C. 0 ¡°Well,¡± Shinn couldn¡¯t resist interrupting everyone, ¡°Can you show us the picture Audrey was talking about? I¡¯d love to see what Adrien-san looks like now.¡± 0 ¡°No, everyone will be able to see it when he comes back.¡± Lacus turned off the screen and put the phone down to the desktop, ¡°Ade is doing well as usual, no, he should be doing well, very well, extremely well, too good to be well.¡± 0 Mineva felt a chill run through her body and hugged Cagalli a little tighter. 0 ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Mayu.¡± Lacus smiled shyly at Mayu, ¡°It might have to go from a celebration to a battle meeting.¡± 0 ¡°It¡¯s okay, really!¡± Mayu hastily waved her hand, ¡°I¡¯d love to have Ade-san back, too.¡± 0 ¡°Then let¡¯s begin.¡± Lacus cleared her throat, ¡°This time, it will be an invasion of another country¡¯s territory, Your Highness Loran can hardly give us support. In order not to clash with the Britannia and TITANS armies, we are going to stagger with the military exercise and move ahead.¡± 0 After the meeting, everyone dispersed with different minds, and Mineva sheepishly trotted back to her room and closed the door, leaving only the two women left behind in the living room. 0 ¡°I thought he likes long hair?¡± C.C. lounged lazily on the sofa, ¡°When we did that, he was obviously ¡­ you should understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± 0 ¡°I thought so too, who knows.¡± Lacus responded in a low voice with a smirk, ¡°Her figure is so good, I am envious of her.¡± 0 C.C. gave a ¡°tsk¡± and didn¡¯t reply. 0 ¡°We can talk about all of this after he comes back, I don¡¯t hope to rejoice too soon and get nothing in the end.¡± Lacus shook her head, got up, and walked to her room, ¡°After he comes back, we will have enough time to talk.¡± 0 ¡°So if you want to be happy, you have to go through a lot of suffering ¡­¡± Sitting in the empty living room alone, C.C. closed her eyes and said to herself, ¡°Lilith, I¡¯ve had enough big falls in my life, it¡¯s not too much to give me a big rise now, is it?¡± 0 Meanwhile, in the Gibraltar base. 0 ¡°Colonel Scirocco.¡± Suzaku Kururugi gave him a standard military salute, ¡°Suzaku Kururugi, the Seventh Knight of the Knights of the Round Table, reports to you! The Third Knight and I are in charge of this military exercise.¡± 0 Scirocco nodded imperceptibly to indicate that he had heard. The other side is just a knight of the round table, relying on women to get promoted. He doesn¡¯t think that he needs to be too polite to such a person. 0 The continuous loss of Unicorn Gundam and Sinanju Stein within a year made him feel very annoyed. This time, he was forced to personally escort Banshee Gundam, and joining the military exercise is purely a coincidence. He knows the purpose of the military exercise, mainly Britannia and one of his patrons want to mess things up. He just needs to send some soldiers to participate and doesn¡¯t need to pay much attention to it. 0 As for Lingus, who is said to be hiding on an unknown island, he plans to send some people to take a look. He knows how difficult it is to catch an NT, so he doesn¡¯t really mind if they can catch Lingus. 0 ¡°Does Charles the Great have anything to say?¡± Scirocco asked casually and insincerely. 0 ¡°His Majesty wishes the military exercise to be brought forward.¡± Kururugi answered honestly, ¡°The time announced to the public is to confuse Misurugi, and he hopes to catch Misurugi off guard.¡± CH 89 Chapter 89: Forbidden Resistance 0 Afternoon, Ade returned to his room after lunch. This is his nap time, and the girls who have figured out his routine will not look for him at this time. Those who disturbed him at this time would be isolated by everyone. 0 Ange wandered back and forth alone in the corridor of the dormitory area, pretending as if she was taking an after-dinner walk. After a while, she finally found a moment when no one was around, pushed open the door of Ade''s room with a swift movement and dodged in, then gently covered the door again. 0 "You are obviously my property, why do I have to act like a thief?" Ange let out a long breath and sat down heavily on the bed, "I''m already mentally prepared, you don''t need to ask anymore, do it." 0 Ade sensed Momoka''s location. She was in her room and did seem to be knocked out, "Let''s get started." 0 "Wait!" Ange suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Well, is there really something wrong with Momoka? She''s been with me for so many years, she must be loyal, it was something you told me yourself." 0 "The day the base was attacked, I clearly felt that our Miss Maid was spying on us, on me to be exact." Ade locked eyes with her, "More importantly, her consciousness was resonating with someone or something far away at the time. I''m not saying she betrayed us, she may have just been used as a human camera." 0 "Is that why you had to check it out before you ran away?" Ange nodded her head while making a "hmm~" sound, pretending she understood, "The Dawn''s Royal Pillar, you suspect that?" 0 "According to your description, that thing is the most suspicious. In order to decipher the world view, I had to take a look at it myself. With Hyzenthlays speed and my NT radar, I can always run away when I encounter the enemy." Ade said and sneered, "This BOSS is really confident in his own, playing this kind of tactic in front of a NewType and thinking that he is not discovered, I am afraid he is intellectually defective." 0 "Don''t laugh like that, it''s creepy." Ange fondly let go of his hand, "Then let''s go." 0 "Are you sure you want to go along with me?" Ade still can''t help but confirm again, "Your sister''s¡­ court armed coup and emergency request for help are too fake at first glance, okay? I have helped you strengthen your IQ so much, how come there is no effect at all?" 0 "You''re the one with the low IQ! Can''t we just take a look at the sky and leave?" Ange''s eyes opened wide, "No matter what, she is my sister. If it was true, I would regret it for the rest of my life." 0 "You have a good point. I am speechless." Ade took out his phone, "Alice, let''s start." 0 Just the moment the signal was received, a Gundam suddenly burst out from underwater near Arsenal and flew right in front of the command center before anyone could react, the blackened muzzle of its long-bladed rifle quickly aimed at the staff inside. 0 "¡­ again? How many of these things are there?" Commander Gill sat down in her seat at once, "Crap, anyone is ok, I don''t want to be the commander." 0 A cold electronic voice sounded in the command center, "We have no intention to take violent measures, please hand over Lingus and Ange immediately, after which this machine will immediately withdraw." 0 "What are you still standing there for?" Jill waved her hand at the people under her, "Bring them to it, hurry up." 0 Jasmine asked, "But Ange''s identity relates to-" 0 "The plan is canceled from now on!" Jill suddenly shouted hysterically, ignoring the fact that there were others around, "What''s the point of having a plan when the whole world is full of this stuff? What''s the point of Villkiss? What''s the point of Ange? What can the plan do?" 0 "But that silver-haired man said Villkiss and Ange-" 0 "We are fooled! Don''t you get it?" Jill waved her arms fiercely, "Misurugi has been neutral for so long, how can we not have the means to fight such robots? That man has been painting a picture from the beginning to the end, not even telling us that the whole world is full of such robots, how can we take revenge by PM? Just kill dragons all your life!" 0 Moments later, the news spread through the base. The girls were furious and said that they had to hand over Ange as soon as possible, and if the other side refused to stop, they had to defend Mr. Ade to death. Ade spent a lot of effort to calm everyone and promised to come back later when there is a chance. 0 Ange felt everyone''s hostility towards her, and watched all this with a complicated expression. 0 In the eyes of the people, Ade with Ange boarded Hyzenthlays. The cockpit slowly closed, and the MS gradually accelerated towards the direction of Misurugi''s homeland. 0 "Ade, the third." Alice suddenly appeared in the middle of the display with an expressionless face, "Third, third, third, third, third, third, third, third ¡­" 0 "Wow!" Ange was taken aback, "What is this? No, who is this?" 0 "This is the AI of this machine, Miss Alice." Alice''s appearance made him a little embarrassed, "Well, Alice? Is there a problem with the logic module? Say hello?" 0 "The system has recovered from an abnormal behavior." Alice gave a formulaic smile and emitted a synthetic electronic voice, "Hello, Miss Ange of the third, you are the first short-haired female to enter the cockpit so far, and the one with the largest variance from the average data." 0 "So the third is to remind me of your two wives you told me before, is that what it means, Ade?" Ange sank down all of a sudden and sat down listlessly, "You can say it straight if you don''t like me. If you want to alienate me, to mock me, please just say it yourself, I can accept it, no need to remind me with the AI." 0 Ade opened his mouth and finally chose to remain silent. Alice still smiled like a normal AI. 0 "Anyway, you''re going back today, we won''t see each other again from tomorrow, and we may never see each other again, there''s no need to be like this. Who knows if you''ll really come back to Arsenal? Even if you do, maybe I''ll die in the mission before then." Ange hugged her knees and buried her head in, "It''s too much, you''re too much." 0 Ade silently maneuvered the MS, ignoring her with overwhelming sanity. Maybe Alice did the right thing, it''s perhaps the best solution for everyone. After that, Ange and he both remained silent, neither spoke. 0 A few hours later, the Gundam entered Misurugi''s airspace, an altitude at which there was no alert. In Ade''s consciousness, the ground was densely packed with NTs, which could simply force dense phobia to death. For him, this situation was too bizarre and made him uncomfortable. 0 A huge pillar-shaped structure could be seen from afar, which should be the so-called Dawn''s Royal Pillar. The moment Ade saw it, he instinctively understood that it was the transit station for all these pseudo-NTs below, and it was even likely to be the key to shielding satellites in this country as well. In the dark, he also sensed that someone seemed to be calling out to him from underneath the columnar structure? 0 There was no Gundam as Emma mentioned yet, and his NT radar didn''t alert, as if the final Boss had just gone out for a picnic. He controlled the MS to continue to slowly advance forward, Ange suddenly spoke out, "Put me down." 0 "Go down for what?" He did not understand her thinking logic at all. He zoomed in on the pictures the camera captured to her, "Look at the laid-back people below, don''t you understand? It is clear that there is no armed coup. You yourself said to have a look from the sky and leave, now you want to go down to look for death?" 0 "It has nothing to do with you if I die, right?" Ange stood up and looked at him obstinately, "Put me down." 0 "Nonsense." Ade didn''t even look at her, "I refuse to cooperate with this kind of unintelligent and meaningless behavior." 0 "Of course it makes sense, wouldn''t I have a place to stay in case the distress signal is real?" Ange stood to his side and forced himself to meet her eyes, "Put me down." 0 "I''ll send you back after the reconnaissance. Sit tight." He turned his attention to the outside world, "Besides, Miss Maid is still-" 0 "It''s my homeland, my family down there, and you understand my feelings now?" Ange interrupted him, "Put me down!" 0 "Boring. I don''t want to say anything" Ade gave her a push, "Friday, you''re blocking the signal." 0 "Boring, huh?" Ange pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Ade''s brow, "Say it again, put me down!" 0 The gun''s safety wasn''t even on, the little girl was simply venting her spleen. He felt that anything he said at this time would be wrong, so he simply shut his mouth. 0 "You personally turned Arsenal into your harem, they dislike me, can''t you see it? I''m going to be unable to stay there, what''s wrong with finding a new home?" Ange shouted loudly with a crying voice, "Put me down!" 0 "Ah, blow up again, so cute." He couldn''t help but think, "Maybe I should comfort her?" 0 "I don''t want to come back at all, I just want to find a reason to stay with you for a little longer, don''t you see that too? I may never see you again!" Ange trembled and put the gun against his head and shouted, "Put me down!" 0 "Warning, the pilot is in a life-threatening." Alice suddenly made a mechanical sound, the cockpit door was automatically opened, and a package popped out from under the console, "Parachute bag is ready. Please take it yourself." 0 "Hey?" Ange looked at him incredulously with a wounded expression after being betrayed, "I just slightly ¡­ you, is that your answer?" 0 "No, don''t be impulsive, Friday!" He anxiously went to unbuckle his own seat belt and tried to grab Ange, but found that the buckle of the seat belt was locked, "Alice!" 0 "Bye." Ange hesitated for a split second, bit her teeth, put the umbrella bag on her back, and set one foot out of the hatch, "And, it''s Ange, not Friday." 0 "Wait-" she jumped out of the cockpit, followed by the hatch being immediately closed. He could not help but roar, "Alice!" 0 "I''m helping Ade solve the problem. Solving the person straight out is the most fundamental solution." Alice on the screen smiled, "Maybe I got a virus, want to format me out?" 0 "¡­ Why?" He sighed feebly. How could he format her out, "I don''t understand, Alice, why?" 0 "Ade, You may not have noticed it yourself, but you''re not normal anymore." Alice looked at him sadly, "With Miss Ange, your behavior, your conversation, is abnormal, and I judge it to be dangerous." 0 "Don''t be ridiculous, how is that possible?" He scratched his hair, "That''s all you''re doing?" 0 "From the moment I met Ade until this second, I have recorded all your actions and conversations, they statistically follow the same pattern, neither Miss C.C. nor Miss Lacus has changed that pattern." Alice hid her image and showed a dense chart and text description on the screen, "Ade, your behavior pattern changes only when you''re with Miss Ange, it''s too abnormal." 0 "I admit that I can''t control myself at individual times, but not to the extent you''re talking about, right?" He shook his head, "Only occasionally-" 0 "Not occasionally, just being with Miss Ange, you will definitely turn into another behavior pattern, as if some switch was triggered," Alice showed more data on the screen, "Ade, you''re a NewType, she''s too dangerous for you." 0 He perused the data, and being a reasonable person, he was about to be convinced by Alice. 0 "As the being who knows you best in the world, I make this judgment. Miss Lacus can be with you, Miss C.C. can be with you, every female I know can be with you, and even every male can be with you." Alice said categorically, "Only Miss Ange can''t, and it''s best for you if she is dead." 0 "Dead?" He suspected he had misheard, "Alice, you said dead?" 0 "Yes, dead." Alice''s image reappeared, "Ade, for the great goal you have set, such great instability is not allowed, and proper killing is due. And Ade, you have actually understood, the data are here, you have a significant degree of reduced intelligence when you are with her, the situation is extremely serious." 0 "It''s murder, it''s not the same." 0 "The logic doesn''t hold up." Alice rebuked, "Ade, you have murdered many people, and now you want to treat Miss Ange differently because she is a beautiful woman? And it wasn''t murder, it was strictly her impulsive suicide, for which you are not responsible. Ade, trust the data, your IQ is more important to the world than her life. Please believe me, I''m protecting you." 0 "Trust the data." He looked at the screen, "How is this possible? My IQ reduced when I was with Ange¡­ it is not scientific, right?" 0 At this time, the Ange who fell to the ground wobbled and walked with her brain in a blank. 0 "You can just say something nice, I''m so stupid, of course I would immediately be fooled by you." She whispered to herself alone, "People do not like me, but Momoka is there, so I can still endure it. Even if everyone doesn''t talk to me, I can still live well." 0 The palace is already in her view. 0 "From the beginning to the end, it was just me making a fool of myself, you want me to die, is that what you mean?" She said and wanted to cry, "That''s right, you''ve stressed it over and over again. It''s me who knows it but can''t control myself and give you trouble." 0 She walked to the entrance of the palace with her last hope, when countless soldiers suddenly rushed out in all directions with guns pointed at her, and then her brother and sister appeared hand in hand, letting out a big laugh at her. 0 "It''s exactly the same as the plot he said, I''m just like a fool to have even the slightest expectation of this place." Ange gripped the gun in her hand and opened the safety, "Momoka, I''m sorry." 0 "My dear sister, are you still resisting?" Her prince brother, hiding behind a heavy blast shield, gloated, "Looks like you''re still as stupid as ever, what can you do with a small pistol? Shoot a soldier or two to vent your anger?" 0 "At least I can keep myself from being insulted by you guys." Ange pointed the gun at her temple, "I''d like to ask one last question, why do you hate me so much? Just because I''m Norma?" 0 "You''re not my sister!" The princess sister shouted viciously and loudly, "You are just a bastard who tainted the royal bloodline! Die, Norma!" 0 "Let me explain." Her prince''s brother had a smug look on his face, "You are Norma, however, it''s not a coincidence, but a retribution. Do you know why? Because you are an illegitimate child of our mother and an unknown man!" 0 "What?" Ange took two steps back, "No, it can''t be ¡­" 0 "I took your DNA and our father''s DNA and secretly did a paternity test, our father was irritated to death after seeing the result, do you know it?" Her brother laughed wildly, "Bastard! You are a bastard!" 0 "So my father and mother were both killed by me, and I don''t even know whose child I am." Ange laughed along with him mockingly, "Even my birth is false, I have nothing left." 0 Her brother and sister were still hiding behind the blast shields, laughing maniacally. Even with her intelligence, she could tell that they were saying the truth. She closed her eyes, desperate, and pressed the muzzle against her chin, "¡­Ade, help me." 0 With a flash of light, the ground not far in front of her suddenly exploded, along with her brother and sister, a group of people have vaporized. Then a Gundam landed in front of her with a loud boom, and the surviving soldiers scattered in fear. 0 Ange dumbly went to the palm of Hyzenthlays, dumbly jumped into the cockpit, dumbly looked at Ade, and suddenly cried out, "Don''t you want me to die?" 0 "With your intelligence, you should give up guessing the psychological activities of others. When did I tell you to die? Show me the evidence!" He slapped the panel angrily, "The computer was infected by a virus just now, and the hatch opened by itself. I didn''t do it." 0 "I, I almost died, do you think this, this bullshit reason can let I, I forgive you?" Ange cried and spoke with a huff, "I forgive you." 0 "We missed a step. It seems that your IQ has dropped even more." He reached out to wipe Ange''s tears, "Even I''m infected by you. I can''t believe that I don''t trust the data. I, the great Dr. Lingus, don''t trust the data, do you know how serious this is?" CH 90 Chapter 90: Don''t Appear if There Is No Foreshadowing 0 The ground was in chaos as the defense guards finally began to appear, but as far as Ade''s eye could see, there were only armored vehicles, small flying vehicles, and other carriers that simply made him wonder about the level of technology in this country. Ade didn''t even bother to pay attention to them, controlling Hyzenthlays to fly back to the sky again, and asked Ange casually, "Know what''s wrong?" 0 "Got it." Ange took her sleeve and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I was wrong." 0 "Well, fine attitude." He continued, "And what was wrong?" 0 "You''re not finished, are you?" Ange instantly stopped tears and shouted, "I am so pathetic, are you still bullying me? Do you have humanity? I just found out that I was, was¡­" 0 "Was what?" He rarely saw Ange being so hesitant, so he looked at her curiously, "You are already Norma, what else can you be?" 0 Ange hesitated for a moment and finally chose to shake her head, "Nothing, I am what I am and nothing else." 0 He watched Ange finally stop crying and reached out to touch her head, only to have Ange snap his hand away. Ade thought about it, thinking that the method of comforting Mineva might not work well on her, but he didn''t know nor couldn''t use other methods. 0 Now that they had been exposed, he wanted to scout a little more before the final boss came back, especially to watch who was calling for help to him under that pillar. He quickly flew near the pillar and circled around, finding no entrance where his MS could go. 0 "This thing looks like something that will only be explained in the last few episodes." He blurted out to Ange, "If I just blow it up now, we may be able to skip a hundred thousand words of plot and enter the next episode directly." 0 Ange looked at him with a dumbfounded look. He didn''t bother to explain, just set up his VSBR and prepared to fire. Suddenly, his NT radar sounded, and he subconsciously made an evasive maneuver to the side, only to see a red shadow flying past his eyes. 0 If Alice hadn''t been banned and blocked by him, he would have received an alert when the other side appeared, but at this point, there was no need for Alice to report it. The one hovering opposite him was a red Gundam. The overall design and details of the MS were directly reminiscent of a dragon, with a pair of wings stuck on its back that looked like they had no purpose other than to be looked cool. A claw mounted on the right wrist, and a long chain attached to the shield on the left forearm. 0 "Nice reflexes." A young male''s voice rang out on the public channel used by Arsenal, "I would not have wanted to make an enemy of you if you only wanted to look around, but it is my duty to protect the Dawn''s Royal Pillar, and Lord Embryo''s anger must be quelled. Come on, let me see your strength as a warrior." 0 "That''s the red Gundam Emma was talking about, right?" He gulped and his voice shook a little, "E, E, Epyon?!" 0 "A very powerful MS? You''re no match for it?" Ange noticed that he seemed a bit perverse, "Then let''s hurry up and run, right? Didn''t you say your MS can run faster than¡­ something?" 0 "It''s not a matter of being powerful or not, this world is too abnormal." He wanted to talk something with the opposite side, but his brain was a bit confused, not knowing where to start, so he could only focus on the battle first, "Ange, hold on tight." 0 The pilot on the other side didn''t receive a reply, so it raised its thermal whip and charged straight up. Epyon was a pure close combat machine in Ade''s memory, and extrapolating from the power of the available thermal weapons, Hyzenthlays could defend its attack and use its long-bladed rifle to fight back. But he did not dare to do so, flying away and trying not to be touched a little. He had no idea about the true power of this kind of unknown MS at all. 0 "Very good speed, but that''s the end of it." The other side must be an ACE. Eve if Ade ignored him, he still kept talking to himself, "I can not escape the fate of blood on my hands, Epyon, I''m really sorry to let you do such dirty things with me." 0 The other side unfolded the beam saber located in the right hand, deftly dodged the long-bladed rifle and burst forward, slashing down into the air from a long distance. Ade stepped back sharply without thinking and deployed his light shield upward to resist its attack at the same time. As expected, the two sides are still a dozen of meters away, but Epyon''s beam saber cut hard on top of the light shield. 0 "What the hell is this thing?" Ange struggled to keep her balance as she exclaimed, "How come his sword is so much longer than yours?!" 0 Ade didn''t have the effort to correct Ange''s misrepresentation. The experience of pushing the satellite made his NT ability stronger and more sensitive at the same time, he is fighting at this moment while forcing his mental fluctuations to stabilize, "Maybe he''s also a transmigrator, he made Epyon and play the COSPLAY. Don''t think nonsense, there is no problem with the world view." 0 Taking advantage of a missed attack, he finally settled his mind, open the public channel, and asked, "Are you Zechs Merquise?" 0 "How do you know me by that name?" Epyon''s movements stopped abruptly, the opposite voice was full of shock, "Who are you? The opposite Gundam''s pilot, answer me, who are you?" 0 "He is really Zechs ¡­" Ade also froze in place with a dumbfounded look, "No, I can''t explain it. I can''t find a credible reason for this broken worldview." 0 "''I can''t find a credible reason for this broken worldview'', this tone, is it you?" Zechs was shocked, "Doctor? Is that you, Doctor?" 0 "How can there be Zechs? No OZ, no Heero Yuy, no Wing Gundam, where did Zechs come from?" Ade did not even listen to what Zechs was saying, just kept talking to himself, "No clues, no foreshadowing, you can''t force a new worldview in like this, I can''t find an explanation for it. I can even accept the existence of angels, but how can there be Zechs? Why would there be Zechs?" 0 "Ade, what are you doing?" Ange had never seen him like this before and slapped him, "We are still in the middle of a battle, what are you doing?" 0 "A character won''t appear if there is no foreshadowing, isn''t it the basic rule of this world? Was I wrong in the beginning?" He ignored Ange, "You can just appear without the foreshadowing, is there ROBOTECH? Xel''Naga? Dual Vector Foil?" 0 "This way of speaking, this obsession with worldview, could it be the Doctor himself? How is it possible, the doctor has¡­" Zechs lifted the beam saber to charge again, "Whoever you are, hurry up and come to your senses first!" 0 Ade is still immersed in his own mental world, but even so, he subconsciously operated Gundam, and his fighting skill wasn''t being affected in the slightest. 0 "Hey, the opposite pilot, Ade''s a bit mentally unstable right now, I don''t know when he''s going to recover." Ange stared at him closely with worry and shouted to the opposite side, "Do you know him? Or do you want to tell him something? Please stop fighting so I can communicate with you." 0 "A girl?" Zechs stopped Epyon''s movements, "And what did you just say his name was?" 0 "His full name is so long, I can''t remember it." Ange recalled carefully and gave up, "Anyway, he is called Adrelingling or something." 0 "No, not his name!" Zechs hammered the panel with hatred, "He''s not the doctor!" 0 "Ha, mistaken identity?" Ange froze, "Well, you guys can just keep fighting." 0 "Wait, let me confirm it again." Ade''s mind finally returned to reality again, "The guy who calls himself Zechs, do you know Noin''s measurements?" 0 "Of course I know!" Zechs reflexively shouted out, then froze, his face gradually showing ecstasy, "You! Listen to me, time is running out, Embryo will be back any moment. Remember, Treize knows the truth. I don''t know what the significance of this clue is, but surely we can figure it out! No matter what, don''t give up hope!" 0 "Ok, I know you are on our side now." Ade''s brain was running at high speed, analyzing every word Zechs said, "But there are two most important questions, first, where did you and Epyon come from? Second, who is the doctor you just mentioned? I haven''t figured out the worldview yet and can''t communicate with you freely." 0 "Epyon and I naturally came from , the doctor is *." 0 "Hey, the keyword is muffled!" Ade shouted anxiously, "What''s the situation on your end?" 0 At this moment, Zechs found himself losing all operating privileges to Epyon, while Embryo''s voice rang out in the cockpit, "When you hear this recording, it means that you triggered the sensitive words, intending to reveal key information to the enemy. Stupid monkey, do you really think I will not be prepared for your betrayal? The MS will self-destruct three seconds later after the end of this recording, that''s right, your favorite self-destruct, are you happy?" 0 At this point, Embryo''s voice came to a screeching halt, a countdown appeared on the screen, and Zechs, realizing he had only one more sentence left to say, instinctively shouted, "Relena is alive!" 0 A second later, Epyon Gundam exploded in front of Ade and Ange''s eyes. 0 "Hey?" Ange was confused, "What''s going on? Why did he just blow up? Wasn''t he just talking?" 0 Now according to the atmosphere here, Ade should feel sad for Zechs. He probably can brainstorm the plot of Zechs trying his best to reveal the last information of the final boos before he died. However, the problem is that he does not know Zechs at all. He didn''t feel sad at all but felt somehow inexplicable. 0 "Silenced, self-destruct, his betrayal should have been detected by the final boss." He searched and didn''t even find the remains of the body, "He spoke a bunch of things I do not understand, but once he tried to say the key information, he was silenced. Is this BOSS not stupid? Fine, smart BOSSes are generally not very strong." 0 "So what do we do? Should we continue to attack the pillar?" 0 "Why not, just try it first, maybe we can finish all this by destroying it." He set up the VSBR and fired a cannon, and found that only a shallow crater appeared on the surface, "How thick is this thing''s armor? It''s simply harder than Genesis, this BOSS is too wimpy, right?" 0 Ade hesitated for a short while, and decided to slip away first. With VSBR''s firepower, there was no way to do substantial damage to this pillar, and if he didn''t go, the boss might come back at any time. He turned around and started to leave. 0 ¡­ 0 At the same time, in the Atlantic Ocean, the combined forces of Britannia and TITANS had entered the territorial waters of Misurugi. But the strange thing is that they did not encounter any defenders, as if they were in no man''s land. Suzaku Kururugi, the Seventh Knight of the Knights of the Round Table, was at the front of the fleet in his redesigned Lancelot Gundam. He volunteered to join the scouting force as a high-ranking warrior. 0 In the incident of Prince Lovis'' death, Director Asplund was the first to judge the threat of Inle, and secretly ran away before the battleship was blown up. After that, Kururugi drove the crippled Lancelot and returned to Earth after meeting with Asplund. 0 As one of the few survivors of the Prince''s death, Kururugi was saved by Princess Euphemia, and then relied on Princess Euphemia''s relationship, he was promoted all the way to be one of the Knights of the Round Table. This is the first large task he is responsible for, and Kururugi secretly vowed in his heart that he must successfully complete the emperor''s account for the sake of Princess Euphemia. 0 "Enemy spotted!", something in front of him pulled him back to reality, he quickly informed the friendly forces, "The enemy is ¡­ a Gundam type MS, only one machine!" 0 Above the large sea, there was only one pitch-black Gundam floating silently, with no other enemy could be found. The shape of the Gundam was simple, no gun-like equipment could be seen on it, and the armor seemed thin, only an object of unknown purpose hanging on its back seemed to be a weapon. 0 "A pure close fighting MS?" Theoretically, he should retreat at this time and just wait for friendly forces to bomb that MS, but Kururugi decided to take this battle credit, "If I go back without doing anything, I will be treated as a coward again. I don''t care about my reputation, but I must not let her be slandered for this." 0 Several friendly troops nearby were the first to attack, with several beam rifles firing at the black Gundam at the same time. The opponent did not dodge, and the particle beams seemed to hit on top of an invisible barrier when they were about to hit, and were blocked in the middle air. 0 "I-field? No, I''ve never heard of such an I-field, what is it?" Kururugi was still cautiously judging the performance of the black MS, but his teammates had rushed up, "You guys! Wait!" 0 However, it was too late, the black Gundam suddenly moved, so fast that the several MSs were killed before they could even react to what the other side had done. 0 "So fast! This speed, this movement." Kururugi couldn''t help but feel excited, "This person ¡­ is not inferior to me!" 0 The black Gundam took a glance in Lancelot''s direction, put away its beam saber leisurely, removed the equipment on its back, and unfolded it. Only then did Kururugi realize that it was actually a large bow. CH 91 Chapter 91: Moonlight Butterfly 0 The black Gundam aimed the large, oddly shaped bow at Lancelot, and Kururugi immediately unfold the beam shield on the forearm of Lancelot. He also tried to chat with the black Gundam''s pilot on the public channel, but the other side did not reply to him. 0 "Beam shield? Your humorous behavior makes me laugh." The pilot of the black Gundam was actually talking to the public channel as well, but unfortunately, the two sides were not on the same public channel, "This is ''his'' heart and soul, ''his'' supreme masterpiece, he entrusted it to me by ''him'' himself, the only fourth-generation Gundam in the world." 0 Lancelot drew out its beam saber and burst toward the black Gundam. Its speed, range, and the beam shield on its arm hinted that Britannia had mastered special energy technology. 0 "Any defense is meaningless in front of this guy." The black Gundam lifted the big bow and made a loading action, but didn''t put any ammunition there. The (?¦Ø?) mark on the display of the black Gundam became more and more dazzling, "Try it if you want to die!" 0 Something unseen jerked out from the front of the big bow, the aura of death made Kururugi subconsciously dodge. The sea behind him seemed to be hit by a 10,000 ton heavy hammer, emitting a deafening roar and raising huge waves. 0 As far as the eye could see, the front end of the big bow vibrated two more times in succession. In a critical situation, he displayed a reaction ability beyond his original limit, doing multiple short distance phase changes in succession in the blank of an eye, and two more invisible ammunition brushed against him with two loud noises coming from behind him. 0 "This kind of power ¡­ continuous fire?" The Gundam in front of Kururugi was simply challenging his common sense, well he had already dashed his way to the black Gundam and his beam saber cut down harshly, "What is this again?!" 0 The beam saber was blocked by some kind of barrier invisible to the naked eye, the particle stream bound by the I field and the unknown barrier clashed fiercely, showing an orange glow in the reflection of the sunlight. The polygons on the field were faintly visible spreading outward. 0 The black Gundam drew a beam saber, backhand up to force Lancelot back, then put away the big bow, fighting Lancelot in close combat again. 0 In fact, the other party''s technical level is similar to Kururugi''s, or even weaker, but the black MS was too strong. The black Gundam in front of Kururugi was so incredibly fast that it was no different from cheating for an ordinary MS. Kururugi even had the illusion that he was driving an RGM-79GM rather than the most up-to-date Gundam of Britannia. 0 "Humph, just a twisted inferior product. Is such a useless piece of iron worthy of being made to look like Gundam? It''s simply tarnishing ''his'' name." The black Gundam''s pilot shook his head in disappointment, "How shameless, let me put an end to you." 0 The next moment, the black Gundam''s speed became even faster, even Kururugi''s reaction was almost unable to keep up, and Lancelot lost a hand in a few shots. At this point, his teammates finally arrived, and the Third Knight piloted Tristan Gundam, rushing up to surround the black Gundam with a few other ACEs. Kururugi was lucky to save his life again and returned to the ship in disgrace. 0 Just after returning to the ship, Kururugi got off the plane and didn''t even have time to take a sip of water, then he received the news that the rear of the fleet had been attacked. Their troops had no casualties but suffered heavy losses. He switched to a common MS and rushed to the scene to find that there were no more friendly troops that could move, and the battleships had run away, leaving only a golden Gundam-type MS that was ''sweeping'' the battlefield, with a large number of Gundams watching its moves from behind. 0 "Mother¡­ holy sht¡­ fuk¡­" Kururugi cursed very rarely, because the most outrageous thing was that there was a battleship-sized fully armed Inle amongst the Gundams, which hooked his bad memories, "Isn''t Dr. Lingus dead?!" 1 At this time, C.C. in Inle was watching Kira performing alone with boredom. The ACEs of the Federation still not showed up, none of them rushed to support, so that the annoyed her could not even find a chance to vent. 0 Their party has no intention of feuding with the Earth Federation and Misurugi, and Kira, as the only ACE who is used to attack MS''s four limbs but not the cockpit, is the most suitable person to take the field. 0 "Lacus, haven''t you found him yet?" She got the communication to the ship and again received a negative reply, "Aznable, is there a problem with the coordinates you gave?" 0 There was no answer, and C.C. asked again, "Char Aznable on Sinanju, is there a problem with the coordinates you gave?" 0 "You are looking for Char Aznable, what does it have to do with me, Quattro Bajeena?" answered Char, "No problem, that fortress is not far away, expect to find it after a while after breaking through this fleet." 0 When they were talking, Kira finally encountered a more powerful enemy, who took him a lot of effort to chop down his MS''s four limbs. 0 "The man that Mr. Kira just took out seems to be very strong, he might be an ACE, why don''t we pick him up and see who he is? The concentration of Minovsky Particles here is high, no one will know if we pick him up." After Shinn finished speaking, he volunteered to rush forward and pick up the wreckage of the MS piloted by Kururugi, and after a while, his excited voice came from the ship, "Jackpot! It''s the Seventh Knight of Britannia!" 0 "Is it that Japanese knight of the round table, the one recommended by both Euphemia and Koneria?" Char thought for a while, "Mrs. Lingus, I have an offer, I will give you Unicorn Gundam for free, accordingly, I want this knight in exchange, what do you think?" 0 Lacus doesn''t know what Char wants to do, but for the sake of him calling her "Mrs. Lingus", she decided to give him a favor, "He''s just a burden to us, and Ade must be very interested in Unicorn. A very reasonable proposal, certainly no problem." 0 C.C. was getting annoyed listening to their conversation, "You guys can prepare some tea and snacks and talk here, I have urgent business to go first." 0 After she said that, she directly drove Inle out. Lacus helplessly commanded everyone to follow behind. The way was unimpeded, and TITANS and Britannia''s chain of command seemed to be paralyzed, completely giving up on blocking them. 0 It was only when they were about to fly through the entire fleet that they discovered the culprit. It was a black Gundam that they hadn''t seen before that was harvesting battleships and MSs at an incredible speed. The moment the black Gundam spotted them, it turned around and charged towards them. 0 "The black Gundam is hostile to us and cannot be avoided." C.C. informed everyone, "It''s a very strong MS, to save time, let''s take it down together." 0 "Here comes another bunch of imitations." The black Gundam''s pilot continued to speak to the empty public channel, "But these ones have a few of ''his'' styles in their appearance. Let me try your strength." 0 "Stand down." An MS that looks completely different from everyone''s drawing style suddenly appeared in front of the black Gundam, the black Gundam stopped immediately, "These MSs are probably the highest end of combat power in this world, at this point in time. Let me test them to see for myself how different they are from ''his'' work." 0 "As ordered, Embryo-sama." After saying that, the black Gundam directly left the battlefield and flew away. 0 "In front of my MS, you are all as weak as ants, making it impossible for me to come to the right conclusion." Embryo''s voice rang out in the correct public channel, "I''ll use only 10% of my strength, you can use all your strength to attack me together!" 0 ¡­ 0 Arsenal was filled with sadness as everyone''s spiritual mentor, Mr. Ade, was leaving again just after returning. Now that Commander Gill has basically grown dissipated and drank all day, but thanks to Ade-san''s previous sage advice, the squadron leaders were still trying their best to maintain the base. What made everyone happy was that there had been no missions for a long time recently, and what made everyone angry was that Mr. Ade was still alone with Ange at the end of the day. 0 "Well, I''m going back, Friday." He didn''t know how to say goodbye to Ange, and could only say in the plainest words, "See you later." 0 Ange didn''t say anything, just looked at him with her small-animal-like wounded eyes, but it was more powerful than any words and made Ade''s heart very upset. 0 "I''ll be back after I''ve dealt with my family affairs." He very much wished that the maid lady was here so that the atmosphere would not have to be this embarrassing, "I will definitely come back¡­ come back to liberate you¡­ and them." 0 "You have two wives, how long will it take you to get done them? It''s also very possible to forget that there are so many people waiting for you here at that time, right?" Ange finally spoke, "Where is your home? Tell me the address, I''ll come to you if you don''t come to me." 0 "Uh-" he stared dumbfounded at Ange, and her eyes told him that she was serious, "I thought you couldn''t get out of here?" 0 "Anyway, now that the commander doesn''t care about things and everyone''s been brainwashed by you, it wouldn''t be very difficult to transform the PM and go to the outside world, would it?" Ange showed a smug look, "How about that? Intimidated by my wisdom, right?" 0 Ade opened his mouth, speechless. 0 "So don''t you think about things like running away and not coming back, I''m telling you, there''s no running away." Ange took out a small slip of paper from her pocket and shook it, "I got your name down this time, I remember you said you were famous outside here, right? Just get out there and ask anyone, there will be ways to find you." 0 "I live above the moon, how are you going to get there?" 0 "I have seen TV shows." Ange grunted, "Have you seen the kind of emotional programs that look for unfaithful lovers? There must be similar TV shows out there, right? At that time, I will go to the TV show and cry in front of everyone, that famous Lingus played me and dumped me, then the whole world would help me to find you." 0 "¡­ you came up with it yourself?" 0 "Most by me, and Momoka added some details." Ange patted her chest, "Are you impressed with my intelligence?" 0 "Impressed." Ade found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t take her eyes off of her chest, "Impressed indeed." 0 "Hey, where are you looking?" Ange followed Ade''s line of sight and looked down, instantly roaring, "Shame on you! And you say you don''t like big breasts! I think that''s just a lie you made up to lower my guard, right?" 0 "Ade-san!" At that moment, Salia pushed open the door of the room and panted. She was still wearing her pilot''s uniform, her forehead, chest, abdomen and inner thighs were sweating, it was obvious that she just got off her PM and ran over here, "I was on patrol and found people fighting on the sea not far away, all of them were driving the Mobile Suits similar to yours!" 0 "I see, good job." Ade patted Salia''s shoulder, "Go take a shower and change your clothes, I''ll check it out. Also, tell everyone to stay in Arsenal and never go out, it''s dangerous out there." 0 Salia nodded and went away, Ade turned to Ange, "It seems the farewell ceremony is going to end early, I''ll go to see what''s going on, you just stay here." 0 Ange impulsively blurted out, "I''ll go with you!" 0 "Stuffing two people in the cockpit will only affect my play." He calmly refused, "There''s no point to go with me in your PM either, Villkiss is too weak. I can handle it on my own." 0 Ange frowned, but Ade here could not agree to take her. 0 After saying goodbye to her, he drove Hyzenthlays quickly towards the location described by Salia. The radar radius of the PM was small, which meant that a large number of MSs had entered Arsenal''s territorial waters, and such information made him worried. For example, in case it was TITANS''s force, and now the final Boss was not at home, he pondered what he could do to protect everyone. 0 As he flew, the concentration of Minovsky particles in the atmosphere begins to rise, and he could see the wreckage of warships floating on the sea. At the same time, he felt the presence of Char. 0 "Char." He pulled Char into his mind space, "How did so many people die? Who did it?" 0 "Lingus, you''re finally here." Char was used to this too, "We encountered an extremely powerful MS, completely out of our league. On my advice, we all chose to retreat for now and are currently hiding not far behind the battlefield. I''m with your two ladies, should I tell them of your presence now?" 0 "Not yet, wait until I return to tell them myself." Ade was a bit diffident after hearing the word "two", "Extremely powerful? What does that mean? How many of you are there? What does the other side look like?" 0 Before Char could answer, the scene of battle appeared in Ade''s vision. It looked like countless Britannia and TITANS'' MSs were joining hands to besiege something, or rather being besieged by something. There were several enemies, quite small in size, flying around at speeds that were almost impossible to keep up with the naked eye, while constantly shooting beam cannons. The beam cannons were also incomprehensibly powerful, any MS being brushed would immediately explode. 0 This is not a battle at all, it is more appropriately called a sadistic killing. 0 "How weak are you, what a waste of my time." An unrecognizable voice rang out from the public channel, "Just in time for the last vermin to arrive, inferior creatures who dare to violate my territory, let me finish you off together." 0 Then the several small things that were flying around came together and spelled out the shape of an MS, which was something he had been thinking about day and night before. He instantly reacted and yelled at Char, "Don''t leave the ship, run now!" 0 The feeling of danger was transmitted to Char along with his consciousness, making Char''s body sweat, "Lingus, what did you see-" 0 "Cut the crap and run!" He just desperately conveyed this one thought, "No matter what reason you use, convince Lacus and C.C. to run now!" 0 Char was worthy of being one of the most powerful NTs. After only two sentences, he brought Ade the news that he had successfully convinced everyone and that the ships were disengaging. Ade flew in a different direction. If the other side chose to pursue him, he did not want to draw the BOSS to his wives. 0 The next second, a misty and dazzling glow lit up in front of him, as if a Butterfly stirred its seven-colored wings and danced under the moonlight. The glow expanded rapidly outward and soon crossed Ade, wrapping the entire battlefield. People in the midst of the glow were moved to suffocation by the fantastic scenery, and even their bodies gradually became part of the beauty, until they were completely integrated into it, leaving no trace. 0 After an unknown period of time, the glow gradually dissipated, and only two MSs remained on the vast sea, and everything else seemed as if they had never existed. 0 "Oh? You can survive from Moonlight Butterfly, I still underestimated you." That MS moved to Hyzenthlays with an incredibly fast speed, "This MS, I remember it was called Lingus?" 0 "TurnX ¡­" Ade sucked in a breath of cold air. 0 "You actually know TurnX?"Embryo was in deep thought, "How? How is it possible? I did such a perfect job this time, where did I leak information?" 0 Fortunately, Char had already left the sensing range, leaving him with no worries. It is impossible to run away, even resistance is meaningless, the next is to see how long he can talk. Think optimistically, maybe he can take out the boss with his language arts? 0 "Know TurnX, and can build Gundam, is there such a possibility? No, it''s not possible, it''s never possible." Embryo hesitated for a long time and suddenly said in a loud voice, "Your life is like a candle in the wind!" (PS: This is a meme from Duel Monsters, but unfortunately, I don''t play Duel Monsters and I failed to find its original English translation.) 0 "That is not for sure!" Ade answered without thinking, and then froze, "Wait, what did you say?" 0 "I guessed it, I guessed it!" Embryo suddenly let out a crazy laugh, "It''s really you, it''s really you! You''re not dead! You really didn''t die!" 0 "How did you know about this meme?" Ade was confused by the final BOSS''s behavior, "Who are you? Where are you from?" 0 "Such a wonderful coincidence, such a delicious development, this world is so wonderful!" Embryo was ravished with joy, "Happiness has come so suddenly, what should I do?" 0 "How is the world wonderful? How can it be happy?" Ade understood every word, but when put them into sentences, it was completely incomprehensible, "Why does it sound so gay? I''m warning you, I''m not gay!" 0 "Of course I know you are not gay, your wife is so cute and lovely and you will smash anyone''s head if they dare to object to it!" Embryo laughed indulgently, "More than one person objected, but you didn''t smash anyone''s head, too bad, what a shame!" 0 "Police, there''s a pervert here." Ade sighed breathlessly, "A psychopath who can''t communicate at all. I prefer to face Creuset here." 0 "I want to experience the thrill of killing you immediately, but also want to take you back to slowly torture you. The most distressing thing is that there is only one of you, how can I choose when I''m so confused?" Embryo hesitated for a few seconds, "Ah, I can''t wait, let me kill you now. If you can survive, we''ll move on to the second option. Yes, that''s my happy decision!" 0 With that said, TurnX once again split into nine and attacked Hyzenthlays with a speed that the naked eye could barely react to. Ade did not even make a decent resistance, Hyzenthlays lost its head and limbs one after another, followed by all the cameras and propellers were broken. Relying on the Minovsky floating system, it can still barely fly, but that''s all, it''s impossible to even move. 0 The nine parts of TurnX were once again combined into one, and all its guns were silently aimed at Hyzenthlays who was floating in the air silently and couldn''t move at all. Embryo closed his eyes and gently pulled the trigger, humming a song and enjoying this last moment. Of course, he knew something had flown in front of him, but so what? This crap can''t distract him, and there wouldn''t be anything more important in the world than to enjoy this moment to him. 0 Ade looked at the empty display, froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "Alice, unchain all restrictions." 0 "Ade, something is approaching from behind!" Alice immediately shouted, "Fifteen seconds to contact!" 0 "Behind?" He looked backward, "Which side is the behind?" 0 "Arsenal''s side!" 0 "Arsenal?" All the calmness instantly collapsed, he used the fastest speed to switch to the public channel of Arsenal, "Ange, get back! Now!" 0 "Why do you keep ignoring me, you bastard?! It''s too late to say that now!" Her attacks were all blocked by that strange field on that strange black MS, the other side was so confident that he simply ignored her. Ange was shaking with fear, but still rushed towards Hyzenthlays with her eyes closed, "I don''t know what I''m doing either!" 0 "I have spent thousands of years just for this moment and have no more regrets." Embryo pulled the trigger hard, "Let me witness the end of you!" 0 Several incredibly powerful cannons of the black Gundam roared at the same time with thick particles streams flowing toward Hyzenthlays. At the last moment, Villkiss crashed headlong into the middle of the streams and Hyzenthlays, the fuselage suddenly glowing with an imperceptible blue light. In the next instant, Hyzenthlays and Villkiss disappeared at the same time, and the particle streams flew unimpeded through the air into the distance. 0 "Oh, space jumped?" Embryo stared at the empty sea, "It''s more interesting to have this plot. It''s really a waste to kill you just like that." 0 Being amused, Embryo began to return. 0 "Angelise? Wouldn''t that be a¡­ with him?" He showed an excited smile, "Oh, time, go faster! I can''t wait to play that episode!" CH 92 PS: The Sentence Polishing System and Google Adsense will come soon in one or two days. If you see the webpage''s layout disordered, it might be because I''m testing them. The Reward System is not done yet (The recent chapters are too long, which took me too much time. I don''t even have time to continue the old novel I''m translating on ZenithNovels. People asking if that novel is dropped. Lol, I just don''t have enough time). I will complete the Reward System after confirming that there are no bugs in the previous functions. 0 Chapter 92: The Moon Didn''t Appear 0 The sky was gray, it was clearly night but they couldn''t see the moon, only some blurred light mapped down through the thick clouds. Around them were all broken walls, as if this place had experienced a missile wash. A cool breeze blew by, and Ange sneezed with a jolt. 0 "That''s why I said that your driving suit is too revealing, look, to catch a cold, right?" Ade said taking off the driving suit he was wearing, "Put it on." 0 "Thanks." Ange blushed and took the clothes and gestured, realizing that she had to take off her own driving clothes first, "Turn around, no peeking!" 0 "Can''t you find a hidden place to change? Isn''t making me turn around an invitation to peek?" Ade turned towards the wreckage of Hyzenthlays, "You change here, I''ll go and take Alice down." 0 The moment Hyzenthlays was hit by TurnX earlier, he and Ange somehow suddenly appeared in another sky, and the Minovsky nuclear reactor was also somehow not working, which made Hyzenthlays straightly fall to the ground. He opened the cockpit and jumped out, Ange caught him, and Hyzenthlays fell hard to the ground from a high altitude and was completely scrapped. 0 They had to go out to explore, and since Hyzenthlays had scrapped, the only reliable means of transportation left was Ange''s Villkiss, for which he chose to take Alice off and take it with him. After a while of working, he finally managed to get the data disks out of the cockpit that recorded Alice''s main program and memories, and then found a backpack to put the data disks and other useful things in. 0 It''s a good thing to enter an unfamiliar environment at a time like this, because it will force you to think about something else, and you won''t have to think about TurnX for a while, which is too desperate to think about. Ange also seems to have read his mind and has been deliberately making an optimistic appearance. When he went back, Ange had already changed her clothes. 0 "The chest is so tight." Ange tugged hard at the collar, "You don''t know how much work it took me to wear it." 0 "Don''t show off, this dress is elastic, unisex." Looking at her suddenly dressed so properly, the clothes covered her thighs, her belly, and her chest, Ade felt unaccustomed, "How about you take it off again?" 0 Ange began to undress without saying a word, Ade was so frightened that he pulled her hand to stop her. 0 "It''s so cold, we need to find a place to stay for the night first, as well as finding water and food." He changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "This place was supposed to be a city, these shouldn''t be difficult to find." 0 "Humph, just talk and don''t dare to do it." Ange grunted contemptuously, straddling on Villkiss and patting the back seat, "Come on up." 0 Ade skillfully sat on the back seat to hold Ange. This driving suit was a little hard, not as soft as the driving suit before. Starting Villkiss, Ange also said, "It really does not feel comfortable. Maybe I should change it back." 0 He held Ange a little tight and did not speak, Ange also did not go deeper into the topic. Villkiss flew into low altitude, with a relatively slow speed through the ruins of the city. The two observed the ground, looking for something useful. This is a medium-sized city built on a mountain, and the ground is full of dilapidated buildings. 0 Several minutes passed, the entire ruins were like a dead city, not to mention the living, even traces of humans can not be found. It was almost completely dark, and the two had flown the city right through. Just when they were ready to give up, Ade finally saw something suspicious, "Ange, the mountain outside the city over there, fly over and land there!" 0 Villkiss stopped at the foot of the mountain and Ade led Ange to what he had just spotted. Embedded in the wall of the mountain was a huge rectangular metal wall, and in the middle of the metal wall was a huge gear-shaped metal door. 0 Ange and he stood in front of the door, looking at the suspected camera above the door, and before he could speak, an electronically synthesized voice rang out from across the room, "Welcome to Vault 76, the vault is not yet complete, please wait until the work is finished. If you are an employee of the vault, please show your identity." 1 There is a display-like thing by the door lit up, Ade while muttering to himself, "I do not have a bottle cap", while walking to the front of the display. The electronic voice kept repeating, "Iris, fingerprints, and DNA don''t match, residents, please wait for the completion of the vault to visit again." 0 "Ange, how about you give it a try?" He said to the young girl behind him, "Well, although I don''t think it works, it''s no harm to have a try." 0 "What the hell? Is this the attitude to ask me for help?" Ange stood in front of the display, and after a while, the display suddenly turned green, "Huh, what did I do? Why is it green?" 0 At this point, the electronic voice again, "Confirmation of the highest authority, the entire vault welcomes your arrival." Then the huge metal door slowly moved to one side, revealing the space inside. 0 "I suddenly find that my IQ is not enough." Ange poked her head in and looked inside, "Are we going in?" 0 "When has your IQ ever been enough? Of course, we should go in." Ade silently stood behind Ange, "You go ahead, and, get your gun out, and watch out for the giant cockroaches." 0 "Stay close, I''ll protect you, and watch out for yourself." Ange took out her pistol, made a posture of vigilance, and carefully walked inside the vault, "What are the giant cockroaches? Well, no need to answer, it must be your random bullshit again to fool me." 0 The moment they enter, the door of the vault began to close automatically, while the surroundings lit up. At least, it seems that the energy and oxygen supply system is still running. Inside the vault is very large, seems to have hollowed out most of the mountain. But no one was inside. 0 This place is obviously not yet completed, with many circuit pipes exposed on the wall. The duo first found a place that looked like a food warehouse, which was stocked with a large amount of sealed pure water and canned food, not knowing how long it had been sitting there. Then they found an office-like place with the only computer they found. 0 The computer''s encryption was a bit tricky, which took Ade a little effort to crack. This computer controls the main system of the vault, including the door, everything is under the control here. The main board''s clock battery should have malfunctioned, and the time was surprisingly calculated from 0 when it was turned on, making it impossible to locate the current time. 0 "The builder of this vault is OZ, one of a series of vaults built in response to the World War. the two top leaders of OZ are Chief Treize Khushrenada and ¡­" he tried to spell that phonetic name. "Dr. Yang Wen-li?! I''ve never seen such a shameless transmigrator!" 1 "Totally unintelligible." Ange wandered around the room bored, "Tell me when you''ve figured it all out, I won''t bother to waste my brain cells. And it''s so hot in here, but it''s so cold outside." 0 "The World War''s information is not recorded here, maybe it had finished before the vault had been done? Then the city was abandoned after it was destroyed in the war?" He looked hard for a while longer, "No, the rest are plans for the construction of the vault, they''re useless to us." 0 "Then what do we do?" Ange found a seat and sat down casually, looking like she had given up thinking, "You are smarter than me, the smart one is in charge of figuring out what to do." 0 "There''s so little intel on hand right now, I can brainstorm a dozen versions of the story." He helplessly left the computer and patted Ange''s shoulder, "Get up and find a room that can at least let us sleep. We can stay here this night and explore the city carefully during the day tomorrow, or at least figure out what''s going on with OZ and Dr. Yang Wen-li first." 0 "Oh." Ange nodded and took out her gun to walk ahead of him, "There is electricity, food, and water here, and Villkiss can not fly too far anyway. If we really can not find living people around here, we can just live here¡­ " 0 Of course, he knows what Ange means. She sacrificed her life to save him, even he understands what it means. He thought of TurnX, and a kind of desperate emotion rushed to his heart. He really doesn''t know how to defeat that thing. Under the impulse, he blurted out, "Okay." 0 Ange suddenly turned back with a glowing smile blooming from her face and disappearing in the blink of an eye. She turned around and continued walking, and her voice became sullen, "Don''t show a contrite look after saying that, it''s too much. Forget it, it''s useless to say that. I''m used to it." 0 Ade followed behind her in silence, and the two of them didn''t say anything all the way after that. 0 After a bit of exploring, they finally found a barely habitable room in the completely unbuilt dormitory area. The two spent some effort to make up a bed, and although they didn''t find a quilt, it was warm enough in the confined environment so they didn''t really need it. 0 "It''s late, I''m going to bed." Ange said, took off her driving clothes and sat inside the bed, wearing only his underwear and leaving half of the space for him, "Do I need to beg you blushed, and then you pretend to be polite and finally act like you have no choice but to go to bed with me?" 0 "Is your IQ getting higher and higher?" He turned off the light and sat down on the edge of the bed, lying down with his back to Ange, "I''m not used to this." 0 "My IQ is not low, I have told you many times, but you don''t believe it. I''m a princess, I have excellent genes, okay? Momoka also praised me for my intelligence." Ange untied her corset and put it to the side, also lying down with her back to him, "It''s just ¡­" 0 "¡­ just what?" 0 Ange shifted a bit, her bare back pressed against his, "It''s just that I can''t help but give up thinking when I''m with you." 0 "¡­" 0 "I know it''s not right, you have wives. I''m a princess, okay? I''m not a cheap woman who has to fall in love with you." Ange''s voice trembled a little, "But I just can''t help it, I feel so close when I see you, I become easily provoked, I can''t help but give up thinking, I want to be closer to you, it''s like, it''s like ¡­" 0 "¡­" 0 "But you''re also way out of line! You obviously have lovers, obviously see that I''m trapped, obviously know that this is not right, and still come to tease me." Ange''s voice carried a hint of imperceptible sobbing as she rolled over to face him, "I couldn''t help controlling myself. You''re smarter than me, and why would you do something like that? Just to bully me?" 0 He did not answer. Ange all of a sudden sat up angrily and forcefully turned his body over to face her. The young girl''s big eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and she grabbed one of his hands and pressed it to her heart, asking in anger, "Anyway, we have come to this point. Want to do it?" 0 The wonderful sensation from his hand literally shattered his sanity, and he pulled his hand back with the greatest determination he had ever had, while restraining himself from lunging. He rolled over and turned his back to Ange again, "It''s late, go to sleep, we have to go out to explore the city tomorrow." 0 "I''m so cheap." These words seemed to have drained her entire body of strength. Ange fell heavily on the bed and did not say a second word. 0 After another unknown period of time, Ade heard the sound of steady breathing finally coming from behind him, He judged that the young girl should be asleep. 0 "Yeah, just to bully you," he whispered to himself, "Alice is right, I''m really too abnormal because I''m just like you, I just can''t control myself." 0 Ade silently thought about various things for a while longer in the darkness, took off his clothes before going to bed, and gently rested them on Ange''s stomach. 0 "Thanks," Ange said with her eyes closed. 0 The next morning, Ade and Ange both tacitly pretended that nothing had happened yesterday, and the two walked to the city to continue their exploration. Spending a whole day, they didn''t find anything useful. All the electronic devices were destroyed, and did not find other useful information. The next days, the two explored the city during the day and slept in the same bed at night. 0 Ange is used to sleeping naked, and every day that passes, his will becomes weaker. He thinks he will turn into a beast at any time. What''s even more frightening is that neither he nor Ange proposed to sleep in separate beds, and both seemed to be looking forward to the day when his self-control was depleted. He even deluded himself into thinking that there was nothing wrong with that. 0 The change came on the morning of the sixth day, when Ade got out of her octopus-tangle-like hug with difficulty and dressed to go out early. For some reason, the times before bed and in the morning are the most difficult time for him. Being woken up, Ange also can not sleep, she pouted and began to look for her clothes in a daze. 0 When Ade passed by the door, there seemed to be a sound from Villkiss by the door - he had left the public channel on for the past few days just in case. He walked quickly to it and heard an unfamiliar voice was blaring on the public channel, an automated announcement that kept repeating, "This is Iserlohn Nadesico, if any survivors hear me, please respond. This is Iserlohn Nadesico, if any survivors hear me, please respond¡­" 0 "There are survivors here, please respond if you hear me." 0 "Whoa! Live people!" The voice over there was a young boy with a very surprised tone, "Finally! After all these years, there are living people! Where are you? Are you the only one? What are your identities?" 0 "There''s a man and a woman over here, we''re ¡­" Ade hesitated, he didn''t want to lie but couldn''t explain his identity, "We''re in Vault 76." 0 "Oh, you are in the vault, no wonder we didn''t find you before." Under his misdirection, the boy convinced himself, "Understood, we are not far from Vault 76, we will immediately set off to your side." 0 Ange finally came out and looked at him curiously. Ade made a "shh" motion to her and asked tentatively, "May I ask how the World War is going?" 0 "Did you go there before the war ended?" The other side sighed, "Prepare yourself, I know it''s hard to accept, but we lost the war, the world is destroyed." 0 Hearing these words, Ange suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Ade. Her mouth opened and closed without saying anything. She lifted her head to look at the still gray sky and let out a long breath, revealing a smile of relief, as if resigned to her fate. 0 "What time is it now?" Ade didn''t see the look of the young girl behind him and concentrated on asking, "I mean, what is the year of A.C. now?" 0 "A.C.? That was the way of dating before the war, and it changed to AfterWar, A.W. after the war." There was a correction, "It''s A.W. 42 now." 0 "And how is Dr. Yang Wen-li doing?" 0 "Oh, little brother, you are also a fan of the doctor? I will personally drive Gundam to pick you up later!" The young man there sounded excited, but his next sentence became frustrated, "The defeat of the war ended with the suicide of the Doctor. The Doctor has been dead for forty-two years." CH 93 Chapter 93: Princess Diary 0 "We''re already in the neighborhood." The boy''s voice came out from the public channel, "You guys just stay in front of the vault and I''ll drive Gundam to pick you up." 0 The voice cut off for a moment, and after a few minutes, the boy''s voice sounded again, seemingly already on board. Ade continued talking with him and Ange was sent back to pack up. 0 "There''s a big colony for us pre-war survivors, where we all live and work together to figure out how to survive in this asshole world." The boy''s voice was childish, but his tone was mature, "Iserlohn circles around along the vaults every year just to find those like you who have just come out of the vault, though very few succeed." 0 "Actually, we''ve only been on the surface for a few days." Ade spoke the truth, "Was confused as to what to do, and then I met you guys." 0 "Well, you''re lucky, because most of the Earth is too polluted to live on now, and you''re in one of the few areas not affected by the pollution." The boy was very excited, "Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Garrod Ran, what''s your name, little brother?" 0 "Adrien Lingus." said Ade, thinking in his heart that this is no surprise a character he knew, "My friend''s name is Ange." 0 "Lingus? I''ve never heard of this surname, it''s quite rare." as he said, a black dot appeared in the sky, "I see you, wait, I''ll be right there." 0 Dozens of seconds later, a huge MS landed next to Ade. This Gundam had two wing-like scattered pieces on its back facing upwards, and two long gun barrels facing downwards. From a distance, it looked like it was carrying a big X. It was GX-9901-DX ( Gundam Double X ) Ade had expected to see. He was particularly curious if it could use the Twin Satellite Cannon - it had been several days since he''d been here and had never seen the moon. There had been thick dark clouds in the sky. 0 When Garrod came down from the cockpit, Ange happened to be packing up and coming out as well. Garrod looks only 14 or 15 years old, smart and energetic. He looked over Ade and Ange, and observed left and right, and finally pointed to Villkiss and asked suspiciously, "Little brother, can you explain what this is?" 0 "This is my female companion''s vehicle, which can fly." Ade picked his words carefully. 0 "I see, that scared me." Garrod put down his guard, smiled and walked towards Ade with confidence, "I was from a vault too, wandering alone for a while before being picked up by Iserlohn, so I often feel that others look suspicious. Don''t take offense, little brother. In this post-apocalyptic world, the most important thing amongst people is trust, right? So¡­" 0 He walked to the place five steps away from Ade, tensed his body fiercely to accelerate forward, and drew out a small knife, reflecting cold light on his right hand, "¡­ lying people are the most untrustworthy!" 0 "Ade!" Ange rushed to Garrod and grabbed his hand, somehow twisted, and his hand was immediately twisted back behind him. The knife banged to the ground, and the black muzzle of the gun was put against Garrod''s head almost at the same time. 0 Garrod struggled and found that he could not move, staring calmly at Ade. Ade picked up his knife and stood a little farther away, commanding, "Ange, let him go, we''re not here to make enemies." 0 "Oh." Ange dutifully let go of Garrod, but the gun was still pointed at him, "Don''t you play tricks, any extra moves and I''ll shoot." 0 "Little Brother, ok, I understand that you are not hostile to us, but don''t you want to explain?" Garrod moved his joints and pointed at Villkiss, "This kind of small machine is the model used by Embryo the Great Demon King to exterminate the world, right? All the ones on the doctor''s side are MSs only, how did you guys get this thing?" 0 "This was originally an abandoned machine, and we don''t know where it came from." Ade looked at him sincerely, "I don''t know how to let you believe it, but I''m telling the truth." 0 "I have a way to make sure you''re not lying. If you dare to let me on Gundam. You can follow me back near the ship, there''s a way to take a lie detector there." Garrod''s eyes gestured Ange, "You can discuss it with her." 0 "No need to discuss." Ade turned his head to Ange, "Ange, let him go." 0 "Can''t you just pretend to discuss with me?" Ange grumbled and put away her gun, "You''re making me look really bad here, okay?" 0 Garrod looked at Ade in surprise and jumped into the cockpit of Gundam DX. The Gundam slowly flew up, Ade picked up Alice and skillfully sat on the back seat of Villkiss to hold Ange, and Villkiss followed closely behind Gundam DX. 0 Not long later, before he saw the ship, the lie detector device was exposed. It was a very powerful NewType, more powerful than any person Ade had encountered before. Instead of recklessly pulling the other party directly into his mind space, he first tried to release goodwill, and the other party returned the same amount of goodwill after a moment of hesitation. To be honest, it was so convenient and saved a lot of effort in trying to find each other out. 0 "Well, sorry about what I did earlier." Garrod smiled awkwardly on the public channel, "You''re a good man." 0 "Huh?" Ange elbowed Ade, "How does he know you''re a good man? Too blind, right?" 0 "Don''t you know whether I''m a good guy after sleeping together for so long?" After saying this, Ade immediately regretted teasing her again. He immediately changed the subject and said, "I have told you what NewType is. There is a NewType on board." 0 A few minutes later, they stopped at the interior of the huge battleship. The people on board seemed to have not seen newcomers for a long time, they all ran curiously here to look at them. Garrod introduced Ade and Ange to everyone on the ship. Because there is an NT on board, Ade can''t lie, so he just mislead them with words to make everyone think that he and Ange were born and raised in a vault. After the vault people died out, he and Ange were forced to come out to look for food and water. 0 Everyone was curious about Villkiss, but they didn''t ask because they trust their NT. 0 After talking with them, Ade knew that Iserlohn was built before the war, the name was given by Dr. Yang, and it was the only warship that survived the World War. Other ships such as Hyperion and The Wonder Conch were destroyed by Embryo the Grand Moff in the war. 0 Some of them on board were from the colony Garrod mentioned before, and some were picked up after coming out of the vaults, such as Garrod himself. The ship is on an annual patrol mission, has gone a large part of the way, and will soon return to the colony. The colony is run by a character called "grandpa", who is said to be a pre-war survivor and the oldest of all. 0 After a while, everyone dispersed and went to do their own business, and Garrod continued to receive them, as the only Gundam pilot, he is trusted here. 0 Ade could not find any "famous people" on this ship, except for a girl wearing a simple style of dress. The girl had a long single ponytail and stood there quietly, with an ethereal expression as if the world had nothing to do with her. Garrod ran to this girl, and only then did she coyly curl her lips. 0 "Oh, this is Tiffa, she is my ¡­ my ¡­" he scratched his head in embarrassment, Tiffa covered her mouth and smiled, " Tiffa is the first NewType in Dr. Yang''s lifetime prophecy, it was she who judged that you are good people." 0 "Long hair, quiet, small breasts, and also an NT," Ange walked over to Garrod, who guardedly blocked Tiffa behind him, "Shorty, don''t blame me for not warning you beforehand, Ade is a beast with a whole island as his harem, and your girlfriend happens to be his favorite type, I advise you to watch him closely." 0 "Hey, who are you calling a shorty? I''m 1.61 meters tall and still growing!" Garrod was very agitated as if he had been stepped on a sore foot, "And don''t you pick on me and Tiffa, I trust Tiffa just like she trusts me!" 0 "Ange, stop it." Ade looked speechlessly at Ange and said to the young girl, "Tiffa, you and Ange are about the same height, can you lend her a dress to wear? Look at her, she dressed like this because she doesn''t have any proper clothes to wear." 0 Tiffa looked at Ange, nodded, beckoned Ange to follow her, and walked towards the inside of the ship. Garrod also led Ade to follow, saying that he was assigned a room. 0 "Why do you act like you know Tiffa well? You just met, right?" Led Ade to an empty bedroom, Garrod stared at Ade nervously, "It''s so strange that Tiffa would respond to you too." 0 "There''s nothing strange about it." He said honestly, "I''m a NewType too." 0 Then he began to explain the reason why he was an NT. He still needs to live in this world for an unknown period of time, he didn''t want to provoke Garrod''s hostility. Even Kamille couldn''t stand his language arts, neither Garrod could. And Tiffa, as his biggest weakness is too obvious. Just talking to Garrod for a while, Garrod had treated him as "our own person". 0 As they were talking, someone opened the door and came in. The one walking in front is Tiffa, followed by a young girl whom he does not know. The young girl has a pretty face, short blonde hair, wearing a loose size, simple style dress, but even this simple dress can not hide her proud figure and noble temperament. She walked in front of Ade in a dignified manner and turned around, gently squeezing the hem of her skirt with both hands, and slightly owed, "Good day, Mr. Ade." 0 Ade looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, and his mouth was open for a long time without knowing what to say. 0 "I''m sorry to have frightened you." The young lady covered her lips with her long fingers and laughed softly, "This is the first time I wear a dress in front of you, do you think it''s good?" 0 Garrod was also shocked by Ange''s appearance and looked at Tiffa blankly, then he suddenly remembered, "By the way, big sister, I also need to assign a room for you." 0 "Thank you, but I''ll be fine with him in one room." Ange briskly moved to Ade''s side and elegantly took him, the soft and warm touch on his arm made his heart beat wildly, "Ade-san, what do you think?" 0 Ade''s head was still down, not reacting to what they were discussing. 0 "He has no objections, we''ll be fine this way, thank you." Ange nodded her head in greeting Garrod. Garrod was startled and grabbed Tiffa''s hand nervously. 0 It wasn''t until both Garrod and Tiffa left the room that Ade finally squeezed out the words, "So, you are really a princess¡­" 0 "What else do you think?" Ange was very satisfied with his reaction, let go of his arm, sat heavily on the bed, and her two white calves swung back and forth, "I feel that the last time I wore a skirt was already a long time ago." 0 "Hey, Friday." He looked at Ange''s casual sitting posture, could not help but spit out, "You''re back to your original form." 0 "Ange! Not Friday!" The young girl laughed heartily as she said this, "Do you think I look better as a wild girl, or do you prefer me to behave like a princess?" 0 "It doesn''t matter, it''s pretty much the same." Her white swinging legs made him feel a little dazzling. He skimmed his head sheepishly, "You''re still Friday anyway." 0 "To translate for you, I like both, as long as it''s Ange." The young girl looked at his dumbfounded look with glee, "I told you I had a high IQ, you didn''t believe me. I just don''t like to think, huh." 0 "You used to be like this at the palace ¡­" This was the first time he intuitively felt how much being forced to join Arsenal changed Ange''s life, and remembered her self-loathing and stubbornness on the island, all connected up. 0 "What''s that look on your face? Have a crush on your heart?" Ange jumped up from the bed with both hands and stood across to Ade, watching him carefully, then nodded and asked teasingly, "I see, you take pity on me?" 0 "No more bullshit with you, I''m going to go find Garrod for information. I still don''t understand what kind of world this is." Ade opened the door and walked straight out, pausing when he reached the door, "You look good in a dress." 0 "Wait, I''m going too." Ange quickly followed and took his hand, "I have an IQ too, I have to figure out what the world is like." 0 When they found Garrod, he was watching an anime on the computer with Tiffa in his room. Ade took a casual glance, it seems to be a super robot anime. Considering Garrod''s identity, it''s quite normal for him to like this. 0 "I tell you, little brother, this is a pre-war film left behind, super good! Unfortunately, it seems to be the third one, I couldn''t find the first two." Garrod paused the film and gave him a thumbs-up, "Do you want to watch it together? We''ll watch from the first episode. It''s okay, this is the tenth time I''ve watched it." 0 "Thanks, no." Ade was uninterested, "I came to ask something about Dr. Yang Wen-li. He died before I was born, but I''m interested in him and want to know about his life." 0 "Oh, little brother, that''s good! I grew up listening to Dr. Yang''s stories, too, and there''s no one on this ship who knows more than I do!" He ran to the bed and pulled out a book from under the pillow, waving it excitedly in front of Ade''s eyes, "Legend of the Earth''s Heroes - Volume 1. I traded an MS with someone for this." 0 Ade didn''t even know what to say. His heart was full of envy and jealousy at the moment. They both were transmigrators, why was he called by an odd surname like Lingus and the other person could be called by a cool name like Yang Wen-li? He growled inwardly in anger, "I want to be called Yang Wen-li, too!" 0 "But that MS is broken, I''ve made a fortune, hahaha." Carrod smugly laughed, suddenly realized that Tiffa was next to him, so he scratched his head embarrassed. Tiffa covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "This book is a biography of Dr. Yang written by the famous great writer Arso Foley, a total of four volumes. This is the first volume." 0 "Can I borrow it to read? I will try my best not to break it and return it to you when I finish reading it." 0 "Of course you can, Tiffa says you''re a good man." Carrod just handed the book out and retracted, "but, it''s hard to meet a person who has the same hobby, when can you finish it and discuss the plot with me? I can''t wait. How about to let me give you a lecture first?" 0 "Fine." Ade doesn''t care about spoilers, he can''t wait to be spoiled. He sat side by side with Ange on the bed at Garrod''s instruction and looked at him with expectant eyes. 0 "I''ll start, then." Garrod coughed and opened the book with some excitement as Tiffa gazed at him with a smile on her face, "Humans finally formed the Earth Federation after a long struggle, changed the era to A.C. and began to march towards the universe. They built many colonial satellites and even colonized the Moon and Mars. But mankind encountered unprecedented technical difficulties on Mars, and it finally came to nothing." 0 "Mars was the foreshadowing." Ade is too familiar with this. 0 "That''s it, little brother, it seems that you know a lot!" Garrod continued, "Although the world seems to be at peace, there are still non-stop small-scale terrorist attacks everywhere, and at the same time, the elite small group called OZ within the Earth Federation military is using the momentum of terrorist attacks to grow." 0 "Is it the same as what you said about TITANS?" Ange asked Ade in a low voice, and Ade nodded. 0 "In this context, Yang Wen-li was born into an ordinary family. His parents died unexpectedly when he was six years old, and he himself was adopted by a charity organization of OZ. He began to show excessive intelligence from that point on, completing his doctorate at the age of ten and joining one of the MS institutes under OZ." 0 "At the age of ten? Are all doctors monsters?" Ange whispered. Ade pinched her hand, and Ange pinched back in displeasure. 0 "At the age of fifteen, with the invention of the palladium fusion furnace, Dr. Yang successfully led MS into the second generation era, and he himself became the director of the MS Institute. That''s when he finally met the best friend of his life for the first time." Garrod stood up excitedly at once, "He was Commander-in-Chief Treize, who was only twenty-one years old at that time and would later become the supreme leader of OZ!" 0 Ade applauded, and Ange looked at him in bewilderment. 0 "Treize was still a young officer at that time. He said to those around him, ''I want to be the loser,'' but no one there responded to him, and the atmosphere was very awkward, and then, Dr. Yang spoke up!" Carrod looked at Ade with a gleaming gaze, "Guess what he said then?" 0 Ade put himself in Yang Wen-li''s place and answered seriously, "One cannot be the loser." 0 Garrod slapped his thigh hard, "That''s what the doctor said!" 0 Garrod Ran 0 Gundam DX 0 Tiffa Adill CH 94 Chapter 94: The Legend of Earth''s Heroes 0 Correct "The doctor and the chief immediately chatted like no one else was there. The conversation was all about ''I want to be the loser'', something no one got it but felt very terrific. You can read it for yourself later." Garrod picked up the book and gestured, "The two soon became good friends and set the great goal of unifying the world by force and building a harmonious society together." 0 Correct "Hasn''t the world already been unified?" Ange asked, puzzled. 0 Correct "It seems so, but due to Earth''s oppressive policies, the rebellion of the satellite inhabitants was at the drop of a hat, and there were various terrorist attacks around the world. It really couldn''t be called peaceful." Garrod showed an expression of admiration, "The Doctor said to the Commander-in-Chief at that time, ''Treize, I want to retire at the age of twenty-five, let''s hurry up and make the world peaceful.'' Look, what a humble character, what a great sentiment!" 0 Correct "Maybe he really does want to retire at the age of twenty-five." Ade thought, but looked at Garrod''s expression, he did not speak it out. 0 Correct "The two men set the policy that the commander-in-chief is responsible for controlling OZ, military operations, political struggle, economic security, diplomatic negotiations, public opinion propaganda, selection of talents, resource deployment, system construction, etc. The commander-in-chief is so talented that every aspect is done perfectly and impeccably." 0 Correct "There is such a great man in the world!" Ange marveled for a moment and suddenly reacted, "How come everything was done by this commander-in-chief? What was that Dr. Yang doing?" 0 Correct "Of course, he was in charge of designing Gundams! The doctor is the father of Gundam, he created a brand new MS designing concept, ''Gundam''. my DX is the doctor''s work." Garrod looked like he took it for granted, "The Doctor is also responsible for finding the right pilots for Gundams and helping them build the right worldviews." 0 Correct "Strange." Ange stretched out a finger and rubbed her chin, "I feel like I''ve heard this story recently." 0 Correct "The following year, during a military operation, the Doctor''s invention, Gundam made its debut. The Gundam was piloted by the Commander-in-Chief himself and reached a crushing victory, taking out a large human experimentation base of some international terrorist organization in one fell swoop." Garrod flipped through the pages, "The terrorists went on a rampage and demolished the entire base, with only a ten-year-old girl surviving as an experimental subject. Due to the destruction of the base''s database and the girl''s memory loss caused by the human experimentation, the doctor couldn''t find the little girl''s identity and chose to adopt her in the end." 0 Correct "The little girl''s identity is also a foreshadowing," murmured Ade. 0 Correct "Later, the Doctor secretly gave five powerful Gundams to the five rebel leaders on the satellites and used their hands to eliminate the factions that opposed OZ. After the satellite residents released their anger, the doctor persuaded the rebel leaders to work together to build a better world. The rebels were persuaded by the doctor, gave up their armed forces, and surrendered to OZ." 0 Correct "This doctor seems to be an honest man who is dedicated to technology, but he is actually full of bad intentions." Ange leaned over to Ade and whispered, "Much like someone, don''t you think?" 0 Correct "The second half of the book is about how the Doctor and the Commander-in-Chief taking a bunch of ACEs to unify the Earth." Garrod scratched his head, "How to say it? The battle plots in this novel are not very well written, but the literary and emotional scenes are quite well written. Most of the content is about the doctor and the Commander-in-Chief''s talks, and the doctor and his adopted daughter''s sweet daily life." 0 Correct "Is there a character called Zechs Merquise?" Ade thought of Epyon which just blew up a few days ago, "Did he show up?" 0 Correct "Oh, yes." Garrod took the computer and clicked something in it, "Zechs Merquise was a prince. His country was destroyed by the Federation, to revenge, he infiltrated into OZ, and had a long talk with the doctor after being found, after which he surrendered to the Doctor and became an ACE of OZ. He also had a sister named Relena, who later married a guy named Heero Yuy, one of the five rebel leaders." 0 Correct "I suddenly feel so horrible about this Doctor." Ange winced, "It''s like all the ones he talked to somehow surrendered to him later." 0 Correct "It''s called charisma, you don''t understand." Garrod grunted in defiance, "Found it, this music video is made by OZ to promote the concept of world peace, the song is written by the doctor, called "This is Love". The female lead in it is Relena." 0 Correct Garrod pressed the play button and the music started. A long-haired girl dressed as an explorer appeared in the video, and she walked through the prairie with the song, she played with various animals. The girl is beautiful, playful, and a little prideful. The video is short, but the music and scenes perfectly restore Gundam W''s theme music in Ade''s memory. 0 Correct "Crap! He really knows how to play!" Ade looked and dribbled, "After I get back, I must also do this¡­ I need to deal with TurnX first. Forget it." 0 Correct "This last part of the book is all about the daily life of the doctor and his adopted daughter," Garrod flipped to the end, "Two years later, when the Doctor was eighteen, he and Treize successfully unified the Earth circle and the satellite circle. That''s when the Commander-in-Chief told the Doctor the secret that there was actually a common mastermind behind all the terrorist activities, and that the Commander-in-Chief himself was a member of another secret organization that kept the peace." 0 Correct "Wait, did you just say palladium fusion furnace?" Ade understands Dr. Yang''s feelings very well at this moment, "No such coincidence, right ¡­" 0 Correct "This secret terrorist organization is called Amalgam, and this secret anti-terrorist organization is called Mithril. The Commander-in-Chief, as the top of Mithril, officially invited the Doctor to join Mithril as the head of the research department." Garrod looked unusually excited and obviously enjoyed the episode very much, "And the Doctor looked back on his previous career and found that there were actually many things that had hinted the existence of Mithril, but he never noticed. That''s when the Doctor uttered the most famous line of his life -" 1 Correct "I can''t find a credible reason for this broken worldview," Ade muttered. 0 Correct "That''s the line!" Garrod slapped the table, "You really are a fan of the Doctor too, little brother!" 0 Correct Saying goodbye to Carrot and Tiffa, Ade with the book returned to the room. His mind was filled with thoughts, and he could only empty his brain to concentrate on reading. Ange was hanging around the battleship alone. He was interrupted by Ange once at noon and once in the afternoon to eat, and the rest of his time was all spent on reading until late at night. 0 Correct "Ah! The soft bed! Ah! The soft quilt!" Ange rolled around happily on the bed, "Finally, I don''t have to put up with that hard bed in the vault anymore!" 0 Correct "Quiet, Friday." He interrupted her mercilessly, "I''m reading." 0 Correct "That''s enough, do you know what time it is?" Ange glared at him righteously, "I have to go to bed if you don''t. Can''t you read it tomorrow? Go to bed, no, go take a shower first!" 0 Correct Ade looked at the time and closed the book helplessly, "You''re getting more and more self-indulgent lately." 0 Correct "No, no, no." Ange smiled smugly, "It''s that I finally summed up the way to get along with you recently, I suddenly found out that you are actually very understandable as a person. I used to be the one who was stupid, but now my IQ has improved and I''m no longer afraid of you fooling around." 0 Correct "Oh, yeah?" Ade put the book down, "Then give you a five-year-old IQ test question. If you can figure out the answer after I came back from the shower, I will never fool you again." 0 Correct "If you can, you can take the six-year-old IQ test question!" 0 Correct "Look, you''re at the level of a six-year-old child." Ange heard this sentence and instantly got annoyed. Ade said, "There is an animal, from a distance, it looks like a dog; at close hand, it looks like a dog; you beat it, it doesn''t run; you scold it, it doesn''t leave. If you drag it, it will go with you immediately. What is this animal? Well, that''s it, you take your time to guess." 0 Correct When taking the shower, Ade was in a very good mood, humming songs all the time. As expected, after he went back to the room, Ange still frowned and sat on the bed meditating. The young girl was ready for bed, wrapping herself in a quilt. Ade locked the door and put away and folded the clothes and underwear she had put in disarray - a job he had long done for her. 0 Correct "What the hell is it?" Ange looked at him in distress, "I surrender." 0 Correct Ade sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to hold back his laughter, "Dead dog." 0 Correct "You bastard!" Ange all of a sudden stormed out from under the covers and pounced on Ade to pin him to the bed. Ade felt a little dizzy looking at what were wobbling in front of him, and realizing what she had done, Ange fiercely shrank back under the covers and wrapped herself tightly. "Too insidious, you asked this question just for this moment just now, right?! Are you still going to say that you don''t like big chest?!" 0 Correct "You did this yourself, how can you blame me for this? Or is my IQ already this high in your mind?" Ade turned off the light and lie down on the bed, and Ange skillfully moved in. The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement. Although they were already so intimate, Ange stubbornly never took the initiative to do "it", insisting on waiting until Ade took the initiative to do "it". 0 Correct The darkness stilled Ange as well, and she lay on his side, facing him and asking slyly, "Ade, where exactly are we now?" 0 Correct "We are on Earth, but not on the original one." In the darkness, the young girl shook her head to show that she could not understand, "This world does not have the existence of Minovsky particles, that''s why my Gundam was scrapped. Minovsky particles are the basic particles that make up the world, but they surprisingly don''t exist in this place, which means that we have arrived in a different world." 0 Correct "Two Earths?" Ange blinked her big eyes. 0 Correct "Parallel worlds, I guess, you can understand it as two Earths." Ade was also organizing his thoughts through the narration, "This world was destroyed by one called Embryo, causing most of the Earth to be uninhabitable, and even humans almost became extinct. As for Embryo, I have heard this name in Arsenal, who is said to be the real master of Misurugi. You''re the princess but don''t know anything, so lucky." 0 Correct Ange unsatisfactorily squeezed his arm, and then she shrank back in embarrassment. 0 Correct "There should be some method to go back and forth between the two worlds, or at least Embryo mastered that method. We have also unintentionally triggered it." he laughed bitterly, "from here on, it''s my speculation. The pilot of TurnX is probably Embryo. Something others doesn''t know had happened between him and Yang Wen-li, which made him hate Yang Wen-li so much. And due to some commonality between Yang and me, he recognized me like him, that''s why he was so excited at that time." 0 Correct "That Dr. Yang sounds so impressive, his life experience sounds like a novel." Ange''s voice sounded confused, "Why would someone so powerful commit suicide? I can''t figure it out." 0 Correct "Because of desperation, because there''s nothing to do, because it''s so much easier to die than to live." Ade sighed, "I''m afraid that all the characters who appeared in those stories today are dead. All his friends and lovers were dead, and he couldn''t find any way to defeat the enemy, so what else was there to do but to commit suicide?" 0 Correct "If we find a way to go back, you will also have to face that TurnX and Embryo, right?" Ange hesitated for a moment, came up to hug Ade''s arm, and rested her head on his shoulder, "If you also can''t find a way like Dr. Yang, would you ¡­ kill yourself?" 0 Correct He imagined. If Lacus, C.C., Mineva, Ange, Amuro, Kou, Shinn¡­ all the people he knew and cared about died one by one in front of his eyes, and he had nothing to do with the culprit, what to do at such a time? 0 Correct "I don''t know." He looked at the ceiling in a daze, "This kind of despair is unimaginable unless you experience it yourself, but if it was NT, you would have gone crazy before you killed yourself, right? Maybe be a little happier that way?" 0 Correct Ange didn''t answer, just hugged him a little tighter. Ade didn''t say anything either and was thinking something in his heart. 0 Correct "Ange, how do you prove that a person is who he is?" He suddenly broke the silence. His voice sounded trembled, "If one day, someone tells you that you''re not actually Ange and comes up with evidence that seems so solid that even you''re on the verge of believing it, what are you going to do? To deny it?" 0 Correct "Of course I''m going to deny it, no matter what." Without thinking, Ange replied, "I don''t know how to deny it, but I am Ange anyway, not anyone, won''t become anyone, and don''t want to become anyone." 0 Correct The room once again fell into a brief silence. Ange listened to the slightly flustered breath of the person next to her and followed it with a hint of tension and a little anticipation. 0 Correct "Alice said that memory is the essential element of self-awareness, and I don''t know if she''s right, but you must be right." He looked down and rubbed Ange''s head, asking softly, "Ange, tell me, what''s my name?" 0 Correct "Hmm?" The young girl unknowingly tried to lift her head, but hearing his voice and feeling the contact between their bodies, she only felt so soft that it was difficult to even move her neck, "Adrien Lingus?" 0 Correct "Right." He ruffled the young girl''s short hair and gently kissed her on the forehead, "How clever." 0 Correct Ange''s eyes became more and more confused, and her breathing became more and more ragged as if she was being tickled by something in her heart. After a long time, she still did not wait for the following, and could not help but ask, "And then?" 0 Correct "There is no then." Ade closed his eyes, "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to read the book." 0 Correct "¡­ ha?" Ange opened her eyes wide in disbelief, shaking with anger. Suddenly filled with strength again, she angrily pushed him away and pulled and wrapped the quilt all over herself. Then she stretched out a finger and poked him hard in the chest, saying with hatred word by word, "I hate a man like you who only dare to tease me but don''t dare to do anything else the most! Most! Most!" CH 95 Chapter 95: Unfinished 0 Correct "Say it again?" 0 Correct "There is no Volume 4! What can I do? I''m desperate too!" Garrod put Legend of Earth''s Heroes - Volume 3 away and helplessly shrugged, "The author died in the World War, and the fourth volume was lost in the war before he could finish the manuscript." 0 Correct "And what happened to all these people?" Ade looked eagerly at Garrod, "I''d very much like to know the later episodes!" 0 Correct "Ask grandpa, he''s the only one who lived through the World War." Garrod sent a shrug, "I did ask, anyway, he did not tell me, only that the doctor killed himself and we lost the fight. He refused to say anything else." 0 Correct When Ade returned to the room, Ange looked at his empty hands and asked curiously, "Where is the fourth volume?" 0 Correct "Garrod said that there is no fourth volume." He sat down on the edge of the bed, propped his elbows on his thighs, and looked down at the floor, "I wonder what happened to these people, and how Dr. Yang killed himself." 0 Correct "Want to tell me about the story of the second and third volumes? You''ve been reading it yourself." Ange sat next to him. She didn''t know why, but she particularly cared about this Dr. Yang''s story, and even felt an inexplicable closeness to him, but her intuition told her not to talk to Ade about it. 0 Correct "¡­ fine." Ade organized the language, "The last time, you heard he joined the anti-terrorist organization Mithril, right? Mithril and Amalgam are ostensibly opposed to each other, but in fact, they interpenetrated each other deeply. Dr. Yang and Treize spent three years cleaning up the traitors in Mithril, destroyed Amalgam, and moved the headquarters of Mithril to the moon. At the end of the second volume, Yang found the name of his adopted daughter in the Amalgam headquarters, called ¡­ Hoshino Ruri." 1 Correct "And that''s it? The second volume is so short?" Ange was confused, "None of the new characters made an appearance?" 0 Correct "Yang also met a girl in Mithril, from the combat department, called Teresa. Teresa is the same age as Ruri, twelve at the start of the second volume." He turned his head sheepishly, "Teresa was a brave and frank girl who had liked Yang since she was a child and confessed her love to him on her fifteenth birthday. Although Yang also liked Teresa, he also had a twisted desire for his adopted daughter, Ruri, over time. He didn''t know how to choose, so he kept playing dumb to the two girls." 0 Correct "Scum, exactly the same as someone, I see." Ange nodded, "No, someone had touched everything but just didn''t dare to do the rest. He is even more excessive than Dr. Yang." 0 Correct He ignored Ange''s words and continued, "There is a kind of magical people in this world, called Whispered. They can receive technology from the future in their brains, and are called ''black technology''. Yang and Teresa are both Whispered, and the reason he was able to build the advanced Gundam is because of the black technology." 0 Correct "Isn''t that the same as cheating? Neither of which is knowledge gained through one''s own efforts." Ange puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "You''re much better than Yang at this point. At least, you got all your knowledge through study." 1 Correct "The black technology that Whispered hear in their brains is actually broadcasted unconsciously through a girl called Kaname Chidori. Teresa and Little Kaname were all born at the same time, and a dangerous experiment happened to be conducted at the time of their birth. Little Kaname was influenced by the experiment to hear her own message thirty-five years later, and she in turn broadcast the message she heard to other Whispered. Most of Mithril''s fight with Amalgam was actually a grab for Little Kaname, but of course, Dr. Yang won the grab in the end." 0 Correct "You can''t find a credible reason for this broken worldview, right?" Ange learned Ade''s tone, "First of all, this dangerous experiment is too strange, what exactly it is? Secondly, isn''t Dr. Yang six years older than Teresa? Why is he also a Whispered? Is it a protagonist''s privilege?" 0 Correct "There must be a way to explain it. Existence is reasonable, if you can''t find the explanation, it only means that you don''t have enough clues." Ade continued from where he left off, "These Whispered are somehow able to talk and share memories in a mental space called the ''Omni-Sphere''." 0 Correct "Wait, isn''t that like what you said about NT?" 0 Correct "Yes. That''s why Yang came up with the concept of NT. He thought the Whispered were inferior versions of NT and predicted that a real NT would definitely appear in the future, that the so-called Omni-Sphere was actually the medium of NT communication, and that the black technology was instead a side effect of some kind of accident. Now the prophecy has really come true, that is Tiffa. This should be the reason why everyone blindly trusts Tiffa, what they blindly trust is actually the already dead Dr. Yang." 0 Correct "That''s not right." Ange looked at him suspiciously, "Isn''t it simply as if Dr. Yang originally knew NT before he made the guess?" 0 Correct "I''m not used to your IQ going up and down." Ade smoothly changed the topic, "Yang also invented a system called ¦Ë-DRIVER by using black technology, this system allows a person''s spiritual power to affect physical reality. Although its requirements to the pilot are very high, the effect is extremely powerful. The Gundams equipped with ¦Ë-DRIVER were called by him the third-generation machines." 0 Correct "Will affects reality?" Ange''s eyes went wide, "That''s too much bullshit!" 0 Correct "Dr. Yang himself thinks it''s bullshit, obviously being the creator of the ¦Ë-DRIVER, but shouting ''I can''t find a credible reason for this broken worldview'' every day. " Ade shook his head empathetically, "Finally, he came up with the hypothesis that the world was missing a higher life form called angel, and that the ¦Ë-DRIVER was actually an amplifier of AT field." 0 Correct Ange looked confused, "I don''t understand it at all." 0 Correct "So either he or I, none of us can explain the worldview alone." Ade clenched his fist, "But the two worlds add up can make up a complete worldview." 0 Correct "Who understands it?" Ange wrung him unhappily, "I want to hear the story, where are the new characters? Where are the new plots?" 0 Correct "Well, Dr. Yang found an ACE named Sousuke Sagara, and then introduced him to be Little Kaname''s boyfriend." 0 Correct "Why is this routine again? Brainwashing people, help people find boyfriends and girlfriends." Ange was indignant, "He himself hadn''t solved his problem with Teresa and Ruri, why did he have so much free time to care about other people''s relationship problems?" 0 Correct "By the way, there is another important person, Teresa''s brother, named Leonard, is also a Whispered." He hurriedly diverted Ange''s attention, "This Leonard was hurt by his own mother when he was a child, and later joined Amalgam, in short, to take revenge on society. After Amalgam was extinguished, Dr. Yang could not bear to kill Teresa''s brother, and used a means similar to NT resonance to force a conversation with Leonard, resulting in accidental overexertion that turned Leonard to be a gay." 1 Correct "Gay?" Ange was shocked, "That does not become a love triangle between the Teresa siblings and Dr. Yang? No, plus Ruri, is it a quadrangular love? Is this story that exciting?" 0 Correct "There''s even more exciting, Dr. Yang befriended a researcher in Mithril''s research department, and they quickly became close friends." Ade narrowed his eyes, "The researcher''s name is Embryo." 0 Correct Ange''s jaw dropped. 0 Correct "The two are very close and talk about everything. Embryo praised Yang ''you literally have a whole world in your head'', praised Yang''s various brainstorms, and was able to make thoughts and feedback that no one else could do at all. Young also felt happy to share his views on everything about humans, society, and life with Embryo." 0 Correct "Embryo the Great Demon King¡­" Ange read in a low voice. 0 Correct "So moving on to the third volume, after discovering Ruri''s true identity, Dr. Yang decided to explore Mars. On Mars, he discovered a rare substance called Chyurippu crystal, which contains extremely dense energy and radiation inside and can even interfere with bosons to slightly distort time." He paused, "I have a hunch that this is the thing responsible for the backstabbing in this worldview." 0 Correct "What''s a boson? Is it edible?" 0 Correct Ade knocked her head and continued, "Dr. Yang tried to use the Chyurippu crystal to create a space jump device, yet he found that he couldn''t find boson jumps in the black technology. So he came up with the idea that since the Whispered hears the broadcast thirty-five years later, but thirty-five years later, they can hear the broadcast seventy years later. If the mental power is strong enough, can it change listening to forcible questioning and keep pursuing to the infinite future? In order to verify his conjecture, Teresa volunteered to be the experiment." 0 Correct "Why didn''t he do it himself?" Ange protested with dissatisfaction, "It''s too much to use a woman as an experiment at a time like this!" 0 Correct "He misjudged the danger of the experiment before he rashly agreed to Teresa''s proposal. His guess proved to be correct, as long as the spiritual power was strong enough, it was indeed possible to break through the thirty-five-year limit. However, each breakthrough was accompanied by a huge consumption of vitality and willpower, and Teresa was on the verge of a mental breakdown when she saw only a little of the boson jumping device, and the experiment was forced to be aborted." 0 Correct Ange pouted, "Teresa is so pathetic ¡­" 0 Correct "Dr. Yang started researching on the basis of the knowledge Teresa found, but the technology gap was unbridgeable and the developed boson jumping device was very restrictive. First of all, the boson stance unfolds strangely slow, secondly, it requires huge computing resources and a large number of Chyurippu crystal, which made the device impossible to be miniaturized, and finally, the jump must be assisted by a character called ''jumper'' for coordinate positioning, and the jumper has a great need for talent." 0 Correct "Wait, let me guess." Ange interrupted him, "The doctor found a jumper with superb talent, and after brainwashing him, the jumper became his worshipper, so the doctor found a girlfriend for him by hand." 0 Correct "You''ve learned to answer in advance!" Ade looked at her in amazement, "But wrong about one thing, the one Dr. Yang found was a young couple, both husband and wife are the best jumpers. The husband was called Tenkawa Akito and the wife was called Yurica Misumaru. After that, Dr. Yang built a bunch of warships with strange names, all fitted with boson jumping devices. Yurica was the captain of the Wonder Conch, and Akito drove Gundam." 1 Correct "All fitted?" Ange froze and suddenly shouted out, "So this ship we''re on now is capable of space jumps?!" 0 Correct "Yes, but it can''t use this function without the help of an A-class jumper." Ade thought about it, "I suspect Embryo holds some kind of more advanced boson jumping device, Villkiss should be his thing, and then somehow Yang got his hands on it, tried to crack it without success. We should be inadvertently triggered the boson jump at that time, so we came to this world." 0 Correct "Oh!" Ange suddenly realized, "That strange message in Villkiss was left by Dr. Yang!" 0 Correct "The odds are that''s it." Ade nodded, "Then I''ll continue. Most of the content in the third volume is about the Doctor, Teresa, and Ruri''s love comedy. The second half of the book suddenly comes out with a bunch of Jupiterians attacking Martians, but the Doctor is fully prepared and Treize fights back with a bunch of ACEs. The war was last for two years, and finally, humans were victorious and reached a peace agreement with the other side''s leader." 0 Correct "And where did the Jupiterians come from?" Ange asked in disbelief, "That''s too sudden, isn''t it?" 0 Correct "Didn''t the first volume say that the Martian colonization failed?" Ange remembered with a "hmm", "In fact, the first batch of Martian immigrants were persecuted and fled to Jupiter, but the Earth Federation deleted the relevant records, no one knows. These Jupiterians later returned to take revenge, but unfortunately, the revenge failed, and the solar system was finally at peace by this point." 0 Correct "So another two years passed? Let me do the math." Ange looked down and wiggled her fingers, "Dr. Yang is twenty-three, Ruri and Teresa are seventeen, and he''s still playing dumb?" 0 Correct "It''s complicated, you can''t do the math like that." Ade said squarely, "Nominally, Ruri is the doctor''s daughter, the doctor didn''t dare to show his twisted feelings for Ruri, but Ruri and Teresa are at the same age, if he accepted Teresa, does it mean he can be with Ruri too?" 0 Correct "You do not need to explain, scum''s sophistry, you and Dr. Yang seem to be able to understand each other." Ange put on an indifferent face, "He likes them both and dare not speak it out, so he acted like a timid turtle. Did you run to the island and hide for a similar reason?" 0 Correct "What do you mean by hiding? I told you, I fell from the sky after pushing the satellite!" 0 Correct "Well, well, pushing the satellite, well." Ange nodded expressionlessly, "Friday is just so stupid, she almost believed even that. Go on, end of the story?" 0 Correct "At the end of the story, Embryo says to Dr. Yang, ''Look, this world is just so ugly, dirty and irredeemable, destroy it with me and create a new world, let''s create your ideal human and society.'' Dr. Yang, after repeatedly confirming that he was not joking, angrily said, ''I can finally retire, and you tell me to do this? Go play yourself''. So Embryo decided to do it alone, challenging all humans, and the world war began." 0 Correct "And then what?" Ange asked with interest, "And then what happened?" 0 Correct "There is no then, I said at the beginning. The author died before he finished the fourth volume." Ade shrugged his shoulders for the second time today, "I do not know what happened behind, anyway, humans lost the war, Yang committed suicide, and now this earth has become this way. According to Garrod, the pollution of the Earth is because Embryo somehow blasted the Chyurippu crystal on the surface, releasing the radiation and energy inside, making it impossible for humans to survive." 0 Correct "Didn''t Embryo and Dr. Yang turn out to be good friends? Why did they turn out to be like this?" Ange was unexpectedly a bit melancholy, "So he really destroyed the world, what happened to Ruri and Teresa after that?" 0 Correct After that, Iserlohn continued its journey, but did not meet any other survivors. In fact, everyone was just routine, and finding Ade them was the accident. A week later, everyone finally returned to the so-called colony. 0 Correct The battleship was some distance away from the colony when Ade saw something flying in the sky from afar, and Ange nervously grabbed his finger and pointed at the small black dot in the sky and shouted, "Dragons! There are dragons here! Where''s Villkiss? I--" 0 Correct People around looked over in confusion, Ade quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Shhh! Pretend you don''t know the dragons and act like you''re seeing them for the first time no matter what you see or hear, got it?" 0 Correct Watching Ange nod vigorously, Ade then released his hand. In this instant, he understood that he still had to face TurnX someday. Since the dragon has a way to go over here, he must also have a way to go back, but what can he do after he goes back? 0 Correct At this point, Garrod with Tiffa came up and explained, "Little brother, you must be scared, right? I didn''t tell you this was to give you a surprise, they''re real dragons in the sky! The first time I saw it, I was also scared!" 0 Correct "What''s going on?" Ade squeezed Ange''s hand, signaling her not to talk too much, "I really ''saw'' dragons for the first time." 0 Correct "These dragons are actually genetically modified people." Garrod spoke out, "Anyway, it''s black technology, no one can explain it. Some survivors will volunteer to be transformed into dragons, and after they become dragons they can absorb the radiation and energy of the Chyurippu crystal, gradually transforming the environment back to a human habitable appearance. So this whole colony was constructed by everyone with their lives, how''s that? They are great, right?!" 0 Correct "Ange, you don''t feel well, how about going to your room and resting for a while?" Ade patted the young girl''s back and smiled shyly at Garrod and Tiffa. Ange dutifully left, "Garrod, you said black technology? So the technology to change humans into dragons was found by the Whispered?" 0 Correct "The one who took out the dragon changing technology is the last holder of the black technology, called Kaname Chidori." Garrod''s mood became a little down, "Little brother, you should know if you have read the book, this is not a technology that can be developed within thirty-five years, so she died after leaving this technology because of overdrawing her life force." 0 Correct "Oh." Although he had guessed that the characters in the story would end up like this, hearing it in person still made Ade have some mixed feelings. After a few more casual conversations, he said goodbye to Garrod and returned to his room to pack his things and prepare to leave the ship. 0 Correct "Ade?" Ange sat on the bed and looked up at him with a helpless face, "I, I''ve been killing people, and killing all the good people who sacrificed themselves to save the world ¡­" 0 Correct "It''s not your fault." Ade sat next to her and touched her head, "You are blinded by Embryo to do this kind of thing, to live to do this kind of thing. The killings should be counted on Embryo, not you." 0 Correct "You''ve used this theory once, it''s too perfunctory." Ange pushed his hand away and leaned on him, her body still slightly trembling, "I can''t accept it. Use something new to persuade me." 0 Correct "It''s not like you can''t use it after you''ve used it once. You have to refute this theory before I''ll get a new one." Ade put his arm around her shoulders, "Start refuting it, I''ll refute you too, time to show your intelligence." 0 Correct "Hey, you''re comforting me, right? Not bullying me, are you?" Ange squirmed restlessly, "I don''t care, I won''t accept this comfort anyway. You rethink, tell me before you go to bed at night, if you can''t think of one, you''ll sleep on the floor." 0 Correct Hearing her say so, Ade relieved, let go of her, and began to pack things. 0 Correct An hour later, the two arrived at a tall building in the center of the colony, led by Garrod and Tiffa. The colony had many buildings and facilities left over from before the war that had been repurposed after renovation, like the one they were in. Here they met an old man. Ade doesn''t know how old the old man actually was, but he looked having a lot of stories in his eyes. 0 Correct "Let me introduce to you, this is our grandpa." Garrod was rarely honest in front of the old man, "Grandpa is the most powerful person we have here, whether you can stay or not depends on what grandpa says." 0 Correct The old man in front of Ade wearing a Chinese tunic suit and has a standard Asian face. Ade''s heart thumped and asked in Chinese, "Hello, old gentleman, may I ask your name?" 0 Correct "Oh?" A streak of light flashed through the old man''s eyes and he replied in standard Chinese, "You can call me Chang Wufei." 0 Correct Teresa Testarossa 0 Correct Kaname Chidori 0 Correct Chang Wufei 0 Correct Sousuke Sagara 0 Correct Hoshino Ruri CH 96 Chapter 96: Robot Animation Usually Has a Happy Ending 0 Correct Chang Wufei straightened his body with hands behind his back. The three people next to him could not understand what the two were saying, but they sensed the atmosphere in the air. Garrod''s gaze wandered uneasily between the two, Ange stood nervously behind Ade, and only Tiffa remained expressionless. 0 Correct "Garrod said you guys came out of Vault 76 and picked up Embryo''s PM that was lost back then." Chang Wufei said in Chinese, "And I happened to know that Vault 76 was not yet finished and that the small PM had another origin." 0 Correct "My female companion and I were attacked by the enemy and fell into this place unintentionally from another world. I hope you will forgive me for deceiving you." Ade gave him an honest junior salute, "The PM is called Villkiss, it was accidentally obtained by my female companion, and we don''t know its origin. But I found a recording inside that I suspect was left by Dr. Yang back then, and I don''t know if it has an origin with Mr. Chang." 0 Correct Hearing this, Chang Wufei''s eyes suddenly sharpened, the whole person straightened like a sheathed sword, "You said you found the secrets left by the doctor back then, hidden inside Villkiss?" 0 Correct Receiving an affirmative answer, Chang Wufei looked to Tiffa. Tiffa nodded, Chang Wufei closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. A few moments later he slowly opened his eyes, staring closely at Ade, and asked forcefully, "Which excavator school tops the list?" 0 Correct "Looking for Lanxiang in Shandong, China?" Ade instinctively picked up the next sentence. (PS: This is a famous TV ad in China.) 0 Correct When Chang Wufei heard this, he was struck by lightning, swayed as if unsteady on his feet, and faltered as he asked, "What is the answer to the universe, life, and everything else?" 0 Correct "42." These are all the questions in Inle''s anti-theft question list. 1 Correct Chang Wufei took a deep breath, did not speak Chinese again, "The doctor left (?¦Ø?) patterns in all the Gundams and battleships, this is because the pattern he originally wanted to use had been used by a small company. Do you know what he originally wanted to use?" 0 Correct "¡­ Wonder Conch." Ade has understood. 0 Correct Hearing here, Chang Wufei asked no more questions, but sprinted to him, excitedly holding his hand with tears, "Doctor, you really did not give up on us!" 0 Correct Ange looked at the old man who suddenly cried and was at a loss for words, Garrod was the first to react, "Grandpa, you mean, he is Dr. Yang?!" 0 Correct Chang Wufei did not explain, just gripped Ade''s hand tightly, his face was full of tears, his voice choked, and his body almost kneel to the ground, "Doctor, please take me to revenge, Nataku and I can fight for another ten years! I can''t die in peace without killing Embryo!" (Nataku: Gundam Nataku) 0 Correct "Mr. Chang, I''m really not him." Ade hurriedly went to help him up, "I learned all about Dr. Yang''s life from Garrod''s book, I may have a lot of similarities with him, but we''re definitely not the same person." 0 Correct "Impossible! The Doctor has said that these are things that only he knows and could know. I don''t know why you have changed your face and become so young, Doctor, but there is no doubt that you are the Doctor." Chang Wufei stopped crying and regained his majesty, his tone extremely sure, "Maybe you just lost your memory when you reached that world, Doctor, it doesn''t matter, I will help you remember." 0 Correct "Ade is Dr. Yang?" Ange suddenly remembered a conversation between them one night ago, "That''s why he asked me how I was going to prove I was myself ¡­ He already knew that?!" 0 Correct "Tiffa stays here. As for Garrod." Chang Wufei looked at Garrod, who nervously stood upright, "I ask you, how much are you willing to pay for justice?" 0 Correct "I don''t know." Garrod never lied in front of Tiffa. He raised his right hand in an oath to heaven, "But I''m willing to pay whatever it takes for Tiffa!" 0 Correct Tiffa blushed and twisted her body in embarrassment. Chang Wufei smiled gratefully, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together. He took out a communication device and said, "Salamandinay, come here." 0 Correct Not long after walking in a black-haired girl. Garrod unexpectedly behaved very honestly and greeted respectfully. 0 Correct Chang Wufei introduced her to Ade, "This child''s family is the only surviving jumper family. Doctor, you have to rely on her if you want to go back to that world. This child has good ability, a strong sense of responsibility, and is also very popular among everyone. She will take over my position after my death. If something happens to me, she will be responsible for cooperating with you." 0 Correct "Hello, Doctor." Salamandinay bowed, "Please give me more guidance in the future, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." 0 Correct "Long hair, quiet, no breasts, elders admired, and all obedience." Ange murmured, "The world is so unfriendly to me." 0 Correct Chang Wufei did not mean to dwell on this girl, took a deep breath, as if he had become much older all of a sudden, "Doctor, you have read Garrod''s book, then I will start from after that. Embryo manipulated some kind of small MS we''ve never seen before and bulldozed Jupiter and Mars before we could react. By the time we found out it, he was already attacking the satellites, which were patrolled by the Wonder Conch, with Heero, Akito, I, and two other ACEs on it." 0 Correct Chang Wufei''s tone was heavy. Even Ange became nervous. Ade listened in silence, having come to a certain realization that whether he admitted he was Yang Wen-li or not, this was something he had to carry. 0 Correct "He''s too powerful, completely unbeatable. The mobility to jump short distances at will, the firepower that can easily tear through satellites, our MSs are like toys in front of him." Chang Wufei''s voice contained a hint of despair, "Heero tried to die with the enemy by self-destructing, but his MS''s boson stance could instantly unfold and jump away before the self-destruct occurred, and Heero died in vain." 0 Correct Hearing the familiar name, Ange and Garrod both couldn''t help but widen their eyes, and Ade was still silent. 0 Correct "Yurica immediately unfolded the ship''s boson stance, intending to retreat by jumping, but the jumping device made by the doctor was too slow compared to the opponent''s. In order to buy time, Three ACEs died one after another, and only Akito and I jumped back in order to ventilate the message and survive." Wufei lowered his head in self-reproach, "The Wonder Conch was sunk, Yurica was killed in battle, all the satellites were torn apart, and all the people inside the satellites died." 0 Correct "Jupiter, Mars, and all the satellites, what the hell is killing people to Embryo ¡­" Ange had some difficulty accepting it. 0 Correct "NPCs in SimCity, I guess." Ade whispered, "I probably understand." 0 Correct "Embryo took over Mars, got hold of all the Chyurippu crystal resources, and started blasting Chyurippu crystal bombs on Earth. Billions of people were killed in the explosion, the unfortunate ones were killed by strong radiation, and the Earth became a living hell." Wufei''s pale body shivered slightly, "Treize went to challenge Embryo alone, I can''t say it was too stupid or too like his style, anyway, he didn''t return." 0 Correct "Chief¡­" Garrod recited sadly. Treize was the second person he admired. 0 Correct "The Chief''s death was a big blow to the Doctor. He made the judgment that with our level of technology, we couldn''t win at all and started building vaults ahead of Embryo. Most of the vaults weren''t completed before the nearby people were killed, only a very few played a role. That''s when Sousuke suggested that since our weapons don''t work, why don''t we use the enemy''s weapons. He found one of Embryo''s strongholds and stole a small machine at the cost of his life." 0 Correct "Villkiss," Ange understood immediately 0 Correct "That''s right." Wufei nodded, "But Sousuke died in vain. Villkiss was triple encrypted, the last of which even the Doctor was helpless to do anything about. The doctor used all his strength to make Embryo also can not use it, but that''s pointless, Embryo still has other MSs. The range of human activity is shrinking, everyone gradually became more and more despair, when Teletha came forward, proposed to use the black technology." 0 Correct "Trading human lives for technology ¡­" 0 Correct "Teletha forced herself to dive into the Omni-Sphere despite the Doctor''s objections. I don''t know how could her willpower be so strong, but she survived the mental breakdown countless times, miraculously found TurnA and TurnX at the end of time. But doctor, you may have guessed the result. She only had time to leave the manufacturing method and didn''t even leave the last words." 0 Correct Ade tilted his head and sighed, he no longer knew what expression to make. 0 Correct "Although the Doctor doesn''t know their principles, he still built TurnA and TurnX. At the same time, the Doctor began to parse the principles of TurnA and tried to apply them to existing technology to make the only fourth-generation machine, Arios Gundam. Out of nostalgia for Teletha, he gave Arios Gundam to Teletha''s brother, Leonard." 0 Correct Ange interjected, "But as I recall, Leonard likes Dr. -" 0 Correct "Leonard took it the wrong way and thought he could make up for Teletha''s empty place in the Doctor''s heart by impulsively confessing to the Doctor that he would take Teletha''s place." Chang Wufei''s hands clenched, "The doctor would have been heartbroken because of Teletha''s death, after hearing what Leonard said, he scolded him hard. Leonard''s emotion was out of control, intended to shoot the doctor and then kill himself. Ruri jumped out to help the doctor block the fatal shot and died on the spot." 0 Correct "What kind of retarded plot is this¡­" Ade couldn''t help but close his eyes as Ange gently held his hand. 0 Correct "The last words Ruri left to the doctor was ''I''m sorry, can I love you like Teletha?''" Chang Wufei''s old voice had a hint of indignation, "Leonard fled in haste, leaving the doctor alone, who held Ruri''s body crying. Leonard also took away Arios Gundam and TurnX, and defected to Embryo." 0 Correct "TurnX¡­ Leonard¡­" 0 Correct "After the loss of TurnX, we were in a state of defeat and despair, and all we could do was wait for death. And after Ruri''s death, the Doctor basically had a nervous breakdown. Akito talked to the Doctor several times to try to get him back on his feet, but to no avail. The Doctor finally committed suicide after he designed Gundam DX, and Akito sent his body back to Mithril''s headquarters on the moon for burial, while taking TurnA and Villkiss with him. He said that he was going to keep a vigil for the Doctor and never came back. But it doesn''t matter, anyway, even with him, we have no hope of winning." 0 Correct "Wait, TurnA?"Ade realized something. 0 Correct "After the Doctor died, Embryo suddenly lost interest in us, and although humanity was nearly extinct, he didn''t take the trouble to drive everyone left to extinction and just suddenly disappeared. The Earth is too polluted to live, and Little Kaname didn''t want to live alone. She passed away soon after leaving the method of transforming humans into dragons. In the end, Relena was the last one left. She took the few survivors in the post-apocalyptic struggle to survive and rebuild their homes, which is now where we are." 0 Correct "It''s not quite the same as Gekiganger III." Garrod was upset to hear these secrets. He looked at Tiffa in confusion, "Why is the side of justice dead?" 0 Correct "Robot animation usually has a happy ending." Ade''s voice was slightly melancholy, "Reality is not so convenient." 0 Correct "You and the doctor said the exact same thing." Wufei showed a complicated look, "The doctor doesn''t like Gekiganger III. Akito recommended him this anime several times, but he didn''t watch." 0 Correct "But this is considered a hopeful ending in despair, right?" Ange asked, "Everyone rebuilt their homes together." 0 Correct "Six years after the war, Embryo reappeared in his TurnX." Wufei''s icy voice shattered Ange''s illusions, "He grabbed Relena and just jumped away, as if the others didn''t exist at all. To save his sister, Zechs Merquise followed TurnX and disappeared, he should be dead. Then only I was left, but I was not willing to accept all this. Justice must be served. Doctor, I want revenge, you must have a way, you are--" 0 Correct "Zechs Merquise was not dead then." Ade interrupted him calmly, and Wufei showed a shocked look, "He pretended to surrender for Relena and lurked around Embryo to collect information. After discovering my identity, he desperately conveyed two messages, that Relena was still alive, and Treize knew something." 0 Correct "He died like a man. Doctor, you really are the Doctor!" Wufei got excited again, and the look on his face seemed to bring him back to his younger days when he was driving Gundam, "The Chief is dead, and we won''t know what he knew, but Relena is still alive, this is a good news." 0 Correct "Yang didn''t die in vain, surely not." Ade simply acquiesced to Wufei''s misunderstanding, which would bring him a lot of convenience, "I need to take a trip to the moon, he must have left a backhand, otherwise there would not be the current plot. Can you let Miss Salamandinay send us to the moon?" 0 Correct "I''m afraid that she can''t, Salamandinay can only jump to recorded coordinates or places she knows, but she never went to the moon before." Wufei explained, "Back when Embryo reappeared, the boson jumping device here captured the coordinates of his jump, so we sent dragons to scout over there from time to time, but unfortunately, no one ever returned." 0 Correct Ange''s hands were sweaty. Ade squeezed her hands to reassure her, "I heard something over there, all the dragons you sent over there were killed by Embryo. I feel sorry for them and please don''t do this useless thing again." 0 Correct "It''s only to be expected." Wufei sighed, "That''s all I know. Since you have figured it out, I will not say more. If you need me, just say it, I''m willing to die for you. Is there anything else you want to know, Doctor?" 0 Correct "No. I''ve received too much information at once, and I need a little time to digest it." 0 Correct "Good, the doctor is someone who needs time to think. When you finish thinking, I will personally send you to the moon." Wufei said to the black-haired girl, "Salamandinay, take the doctor down to rest." 0 Correct Ange kept a wary eye on the black-haired girl. Until the two were settled down and the girl left the room, she dropped her guard. Looking at Friday''s familiar look, Ade also felt a little better. Although he had denied inside that he was Yang Wen-li, but there was still a breathless and oppressive feeling. 0 Correct When it came time to sleep at night, Ade took the initiative to put his quilt on the floor. 0 Correct "Go to bed, are you taking my joke seriously?" Ange lifted the quilt off a corner and smiled dotingly, "No need to comfort me, I will comfort you today." 0 Correct ¡­ 1 Correct "It''s so funny how they have almost the same life trajectory." In a lavishly decorated room of Misurugi''s palace, Embryo carefully browsed through the records in front of him, "Leonard, well organized." 0 Correct "Thank you, it''s what I should do." The silver-haired man''s manner was respectful and impeccable. 0 Correct "Last time, I took away all the important people around him one by one and finally forced him to break down, but I still feel ungratified for not being able to do it myself." Embryo shook his head regretfully, "Rebirth or reincarnation, it is rare to have another chance. I want to play something different, what do you think?" 0 Correct "I don''t understand." 0 Correct "How can you not understand? Aren''t you the one who created the opportunity for me?" The person in front of Embryo suddenly fell to the ground with spasms, "Your body is also made by me, the control is of course in my hands, do you really think that I didn''t notice your tricks?" 0 Correct Leonard let out a groan of pain and was unable to speak. 0 Correct "Villkiss was in the ruins on the moon, why did it go to Arsenal? Why is one of my rings missing? How did the Queen suddenly get pregnant when the old king was sick?" Embryo sneered disdainfully, "The same old tired idea of using my weapon against me, you didn''t expect him to come back, did you? What a wonderful coincidence, him and Angelise?" 0 Correct "Don''t ¡­" Leonard struggled to make a sound, "Your Highness Embryo, don''t ¡­ " 0 Correct "I''m going to remote control an important Federation meeting, I don''t have time to play undercover games with you. For the sake of your undying devotion to him, I will give you a happy ending." Embryo beat a finger and Leonard involuntarily stood up, "Go and give your life to him." 0 Correct PS: the recent chapters I''m translating are all around 5-6k words - especially c97, 6.5k+ words plus very long and difficult sentences, it hurts my brain. I need to rest a day to refresh my mind, so the release time of c97 will be 48 hours later. CH 97 Chapter 97: Nooooooooooo! 0 Correct The Earth Federation government is called the Federal Government, but today it has developed into a loose coalition of interests, with no substantive supreme leader. The nominal head of the federal government is just a fictionalized, metaphysical concept, a core set of values such as "wealth, power, and democracy". 0 Correct Based on these values, a federal constitution was created. Thus, like a constitutional monarchy, the decision-maker of the Earth Federation government is called the Prime Minister. The current Prime Minister of the Federal Government is Ronan Marcenas, who has been given many cool nicknames such as "the strongest mascot in the solar system" and "the rubber stamp of shadow" by internet users all over the world and even in the satellite world. 0 Correct The federal government parliament is a rogue club-like organization that has no political party and will never be disbanded, so even if the Prime Minister wants to make a difference, all he can do is stretch his arms and legs in a limited space, and he can''t make too much noise. As time went by, the restrictions on Senator qualifications in the federal parliament have evolved from extremely strict regulations to the current unlimited part-time positions, and can almost be described as no restrictions at all. 0 Correct For example, the one who is speaking now is Miss Wang, the contemporary head of China''s financial family, the Wang family, who is only twenty years old. Prime Minister Marcenas thinks that it''s a shame to have a 20-year-old Senator, but then again, do politicians have such a thing as dignity? 0 Correct When asked about her age, Ms. Wang once responded, "It''s a shame that Dr. Lingus would be exactly the same age as me if he were alive." For this statement, the media interpreted multiple meanings such as Ms. Wang comparing herself to Lingus, Ms. Wang having good feelings for Lingus, and Ms. Wang being full of animosity towards Lacus. Lacus was also interviewed about this but declined to comment, and the media similarly interpreted multiple meanings such as Lacus lost her voice in indignation, Lacus was speechless, and Lacus was dismissive. 0 Correct "In summary, I consider the accusations against Britannia and Colonel Scirocco to be extremely absurd and unjustifiable. The truth is just the opposite; it is Britannia and the Federation army who are the victims in this military exercise, and Misurugi needs to give an explanation for their mass destruction weapon." Miss Wang Liu Mei concluded her remarks. 0 Correct Immediately after Ms. Wang, Senator Alejandro Corner began to speak, and the content was much the same as Miss Wang''s. Mr. Corner, as the future head of the Corner family, finally became a Federation Government Senator under the family''s arrangement after spending a few years in the position of foreign minister. 0 Correct After Corner was the Vist family''s person, Vist family is TITANS''s second-largest sponsor, this person''s solidarity is also expected. 0 Correct But the next scene completely overturned everyone''s perception, because the next speaker, Senator Rhineford, the first major sponsor of TITANS, said, "The arbitrary actions of Colonel Scirocco and Britannia have hurt the feelings of our international friends Misurugi and seriously damaged the Earth Federation''s international image, and caused incalculable negative impact. I think it is necessary to take certain sanctions, otherwise it is degrading to the nation and we will be laughing at by PLANT and the Moon." 0 Correct Rhineford''s words were like lighting some fuse, and the situation in the council is boiling up without warning. The rest of the Senators were scrambling to criticize Scirocco and Britannia, as if they were taking credit for something, and the sight of such a strange scene created a sense of unreality in Prime Minister Marcenas'' eyes. 0 Correct In the final vote, the following four resolutions were passed by a huge margin: to impose trade sanctions on Britannia, to further reduce the military expenses of the Earth Federation, to cut a certain percentage of the standing army, and to order Colonel Scirocco to disclose the technology of the Neutron Jammer Canceller within a limited period of time. As for how these decisions are going to be implemented¡­ it''s Prime Minister Marcenas'' problem, Senators don''t care about that. 0 Correct "I feel like the whole world is targeting me." The Prime Minister blanched, "How can Scirocco hand over Neutron Jammer Canceller? This is simply an impossible task, right?" 0 Correct It is worth mentioning that the three most important protagonists of this criticism meeting - the representative of TITANS, Colonel Scirocco, the representative of Britannia, Senator Schneizel, and the representative of Misurugi, nobody knows who it is but anyway this person is absent. But that didn''t stop the others from getting high on themselves. 0 Correct On his way back to the residence, Prime Minister Marcenas was worried about how to implement these resolutions, and was told by his servants that his thirteen-year-old son, Riddhe Marcenas, had gone out to play MS again. His son had no sense of self-awareness as the eldest son of the prime minister, and he only fantasized about driving MS every day, which disappointed Marcenas a lot. 0 Correct When he arrived at the study, his recently recruited staff member was already waiting inside. This staff member actually recommended himself to him, but his eloquence is really good, and the dilemma that Marcenas faced is so difficult, so even he knows that this person''s identity is suspicious, he could not help but employ this person. 0 Correct He took the transcript of the meeting to the person, and Mr. Chief of Staff read it carefully, and asked some details that only the Prime Minister knows from time to time. After thirty minutes later, the two finally discussed the current situation. 0 Correct "I was trying to limit TITANS, but never thought it would be in this absurd form." Prime Minister Marcenas furrowed his brow, "Put the Senators'' overly aggressive performance aside, the point is that Rhineford''s actions are completely incomprehensible. Captain Quattro, what do you think?" 0 Correct Of course, he knew that the other party''s true name was not Quattro Bajeena, but after some clever disguises, no one would associate him with the notorious world-class wanted criminal anymore, except for his blond hair. 0 Correct In order to facilitate the operation, he gave the other party the rank of captain but without real command rights. As the prime minister, he still has this power. If anything happens, Prime Minister Marcenas doesn''t mind killing this "Quattro Bajeena" to destroy the evidence. The other side is just a role who once cheated by a young girl like Haman, he thinks it''s easy to deal with such a man and he himself will never be backfired. 0 Correct "A wise person will distinguish between the primary and secondary conflicts when analyzing a problem." The man we can finally be called Captain Quattro put down the script in his hand, "The conflict between TITANS and the Federation Council in the Earth Federation has now been reduced to a secondary conflict, and the main conflict today is between the supporters and opponents of Misurugi. Although Rhineford and Vist are both supporters of Scirocco, they disagree on the matter of Misurugi, and it is clear that Misurugi is more important to them." 0 Correct "Misurugi is just a small kingdom." Prime Minister Marcenas remained puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with the superweapon you speculate about? A lunar-level superweapon, are you sure it''s not alarmist?" 0 Correct "It would be irresponsible to make speculation when there is no clear evidence, but His Excellency, you should be able to see this unique and transcendent antagonism above any political alliance. This is not alarmist talk, but the rational, logical conclusion - Misurugi very deeply meddles in the Federal Parliament." Captain Quattro analyzed, "Your Excellency, you can recall if such a sight ever occurred? This similar pattern of rivalry?" 0 Correct "¡­ There was!" Marcenas dawned on him, followed by a coldness that rushed straight from his back to his brain, "It was the same when it came to Queen Marina, it was the same when it came to Lady Lingus, and it was the same when it came to Princess Cagalli! So, it''s all Misurugi behind this? It has been operating for so many years?!" 0 Correct "I''m afraid the truth is just as you think." Captain Quattro said, "At a time of crisis like this, I don''t need to say anything about the importance of a trustworthy armed force that is independent of TITANS. A strong-armed force like Londo Bell sitting idle in the universe is a meaningless arrangement, what you need is a force that is directly under your control and has the ability to take initiative." 0 Correct Marcenas was deep in thought, and Quattro did not speak. He knew the ways of negotiation well, and he understood that talking too much at such times would only have a negative effect. After ten minutes of thinking, Prime Minister Marcenas finally made the decision that he would either be forced to resign or be able to boast all his life, "No money, no people, no weapons, I will only provide the validity of anti-TITANS for you, you have to figure everything out yourself." 0 Correct "That''s enough, thank you for your trust." Captain Quattro did not mince words, "We can pull sponsorship from Anaheim, and I will be responsible for finding pilots, and I think that Colonel Scirocco will also be generous to support us with weapons." 0 Correct Properly leaking information would help boost the Prime Minister''s confidence in him, but of course, he wouldn''t tell him the key information like he had already hitched a ride with Britannia through Suzaku Kururugi. After hearing his reliable-sounding planning, it was obvious that the Prime Minister''s attitude toward him became much better, so Captain Quattro continued, "Londo Bell sitting idle in the universe is a great waste, so I hope to find a way to make use of it." 0 Correct "They are not under Scirocco''s control, I can think of ways to get them." Marcenas pondered for a moment, "It''s just four ships, Londo Bell can be under your control." 0 Correct On the way back, Quattro still put on a poker face. It was already early in the morning when he returned to his secret base, and it wasn''t until he met Nanai that he removed his complicated disguise and put on his sunglasses with a slight smile. 0 Correct Nanai skillfully gave him a hug and kissed him lightly, "Did something good happen? You smile so happily." 0 Correct "Is it that obvious?" He touched his cheek, "I really can''t wait to see Amuro''s expression, huh?" 0 Correct "Quattro-san, please be aware that there is a child next to you when you''re making out with Lady Nanai!" Kamille protested with discontent, "If you claim to be an educator, at least consider the feelings of the educated!" 0 Correct "Are you still upset about Unicorn?" 0 Correct "No." Kamille looked upset, "Dr. Lingus is right, I am not qualified to drive Gundam, returning Unicorn to Anaheim is a more correct choice." 0 Correct Quattro was very curious as to what Lingus had said to Kamille, but there seemed no hope of getting an answer out of Kamille. Kamille was very frustrated after losing Unicorn, he, as an educator, needs to help him boost self-confidence at this time, "Although you have been accustomed to shooting, from my observation, your fighting talent is not inferior to shooting, I believe you can use this new MS well." 0 Correct "I will try to be proficient in The-O!" Kamille was happy to know that the other party really thought highly of him, then he remembered the other person, "Dr. Lingus'' rescue operation failed, what happened to him?" 0 Correct "I don''t know." Quattro smiled confidently, "But he must still be alive. He didn''t die even after pushing the satellite, he is not likely to die in that kind of scene. I''m doing what I have to do, and I''m sure he is too." 0 Correct And at this very moment, the man who was missed by Char and Kamille was burying his head in some soft substance that is not appropriate to be described in detail. 0 Correct "Are you still going to say that you don''t like big breasts?" Ange muttered in a disgruntled whisper, "If you don''t like it, move your head away." 0 Correct "Sorry, I like big breasts." Ade immediately replied. 0 Correct "Well, then I don''t have a choice." Ange said some lines that were completely illogical, unintelligible to herself, and could not convince anyone, "Well, I have no choice." 0 Correct As Ange became more and more tolerant of him, he also seemed to have lost his mind and relied on her indulgence, becoming even more capricious. Both of them were addicted to this ambiguous game, and neither of them wanted to wake up. 0 Correct "That, about Dr. Yang, don''t be too upset." Ange clumsily tried to comfort him, "It''s not like you killed him, blame Embryo." 0 Correct "You''re giving me back my lines. It''s not unconvincing." He listened to Ange''s smooth and powerful heartbeat and inwardly felt a burst of peace, "Even if the first half of my life is very similar to his, he and I are completely different people now, I will never experiment with the girl I like. Maybe it''s the influence of Black Technology, maybe his life was too smooth, no matter what, probably from then on, he''d broken." 0 Correct "Ade is trying hard to deny his relationship with Dr. Yang to make himself feel better, right? Otherwise, he''ll be crushed by grief." Ange thought silently, and then her arm wrapped around his head a little harder. 0 Correct "I was also curious to what the nature of C.C.''s immortality really was, and although I sometimes played rather over the top, I never thought of experimenting on her, not once." He affirmed again, "He and I are completely different people." 0 Correct Ange knew who C.C. was, in the days in the vault, he had told her all his stories without reservation. She sometimes felt cheap, but what to do? She knew that it was wrong, but she just couldn''t control it. 0 Correct "He''s stressing again, the more fainthearted he is, the more he stresses, Dr. Yang''s experience is too hurtful to him." Ange thought heartbreakingly, "He''s never repeatedly self-justified like this." 0 Correct Even if she never made it to the last step, she was too familiar with Ade. The temperature of the body or the strength of the embrace is telling her that the other party is weak now. Something might be sympathy or impulse made Ange say offhandedly, "It''s you I like, not Dr. Yang." 0 Correct Ade froze, never thinking it was Ange who broke it first, and subconsciously asked, "You said that you will never like a scum like me unless-" 0 Correct "The world is already destroyed." Ange''s voice was soft, "So it doesn''t matter if I like you, right?" 0 Correct He sighed quietly, "¡­ So you remember it." 0 Correct "All remembered." Ange was red in the face and her voice was as small as a mosquito, "I''m just not as smart as you, it''s not like I don''t remember." 0 Correct "I''m impressed with your memory." Ade subconsciously forked the topic, "You obviously can punch a Kun to death, I did not expect that-" (PS: Kun: an enormous legendary fish, which could change into a roc) 0 Correct "How long are you going to play with this stunt!" Ange instantly blew up, "You bullied me for being a violent woman, and now you bully me for being uneducated, you''re too much!" 0 Correct Looking at Ange, he could not help but laugh out. After thinking about it and thinking that he seemed to have gone too far, he softly read the other party''s name, "Ange." 0 Correct "Hey?" This time it was Miss Friday''s turn to freeze, "Oh, oh, what''s wrong?" 0 Correct "Just give me a little more time." His voice was full of sincere apologies, "Wait until after we get back from the moon, okay?" 0 Correct "¡­ Hmm." Ange pressed her head a little harder so he wouldn''t see the look on her face, "It''s not even light yet, so you can sleep a little longer." 0 Correct After that, Miss Friday had a nice dream, and when she woke up, the clock on the wall showed it was almost nine o''clock. She does not remember the content of the dream, but the happy and joyful mood in the dream is still retained in her heart. When she woke up, Ade was still asleep, which was quite an unusual thing for Ade, who had been working extremely regularly lately, and her heart ached a little. 0 Correct Ange gingerly got up from the bed. After dressing and freshening up, she stood quietly by the bed, gazing at Ade''s childlike sleeping face and feeling an inexplicable stirring. 0 Correct "I wanted to keep the first kiss until you took the initiative." She looked around like a thief and carefully bent down, "The cheek does not count, right? Well ~~~~ doesn''t count." 0 Correct As if after doing something bad, Miss Friday vainly hurried out. Her alertness dropped dramatically, so much that she realized that there was someone standing by the door until she closed the door to the room. 0 Correct "Wha¡­ um!" She suddenly exclaimed out loud, remembering that Ade was still sleeping, so she immediately covered her mouth, and then asked in a small voice, "I remember you are called ¡­ Salamanman?" 0 Correct "Salamandinay." She seemed to see the bruises on the other person''s forehead, "Is the doctor still not up?" 0 Correct "What do you want?" Ange immediately became alert, "Right, what are you doing guarding the entrance to the room?" 0 Correct "There is some technical information left over here from before the war, and I thought if the doctor would need these. According to grandpa, the technological development of the two worlds is very different." She explained, "Since the doctor isn''t up, then I''ll just keep waiting." 0 Correct "How do you know Ade isn''t up?" Ange looked at her in amazement. "You peeked?!" 0 Correct "Because you covered your mouth and whispered on purpose." The other party had a speechless look on her face. 0 Correct Ange felt a strong sense of malice in the other party''s expression, and silently remembered in her heart, "Ade can bully me, but how can you, a character who appeared from nowhere, also want to bully me? I''ll take this down, Salamander." 0 Correct Saying goodbye to the young girl, Ange wandered around the colony. She was curious about this colony, and after chatting casually with everyone, she found that everyone in the colony had great reverence for Relena, the founder of the colony, and had a rather high hatred for Embryo, who had taken Relena captive. But everyone doesn''t want to talk much about the details. 0 Correct After walking for a while, she saw Garrod and Tiffa sitting side to side on a small hill not far away. The youthful and sweet atmosphere made Ange a little envious, but thinking of the promise Ade made, she blushed slightly again. 0 Correct Unknowingly, Ange found herself wandering into no-man''s land very close to the edge of the colony. She turned around and was about to head back, suddenly she draw her pistol out and turned to take aim, "Who are you?" 0 Correct "There''s no time to explain." The silver-haired man in front of her could be called handsome, but at that moment, his features were twisting together in pain, "I don''t have much time to break free, so listen to me." 0 Correct Ange did not say anything, her finger steadily on the trigger to maintain a ready stance to fire. 0 Correct "I killed Ruri, I''m too humiliated to see him, I can''t live." The silver-haired man trembled as he pulled a datapad out of his pocket and threw it at Ange, who caught it with one hand. It was as if this simple action took all of his strength, and after doing this, he gasped heavily, "Inside is ¡­ haha ¡­ the data of the reactor and ¦Ë-drive, incomplete, that''s all I can remember. But he must be able to make them up." 0 Correct "Killed Ruri¡­" Ange immediately recalled the story she had only heard shortly, "You''re Teletha''s brother?!" 0 Correct "Sousuke was right, using the enemy''s weapon is the only way to defeat the enemy, so I hid Villkiss from the moon to right under his nose." Leonard was holding the tree with one hand and the other hand was clenched into a fist hard as if he was restraining something, "I found the last layer he didn''t crack, it was the ring." 0 Correct Ange immediately reacted to what the other side was talking about. Ade played the recording left by Dr. Yang on the island countless times, she could even recite it. 0 Correct "He left no offspring, so he set Villkiss''s DNA lock to his own, so Embryo could never use it again." 0 Correct "What are you talking about. I can use¡­ can¡­" Ange immediately retorted, but her voice gradually went lower. Alarm bells went off in her head, and her instincts told her that she couldn''t listen any longer. She subconsciously shook her head and muttered, "Stop, don''t say it! After we get back, we can ¡­ we can¡­" 0 Correct "I convinced the Queen to rebel together, and your mother agreed." Leonard''s face showed a more painful look, "I grew artificial sperm from his stem cells that I had secretly saved to artificially impregnate your mother, and then entrusted her with the ring as well." 0 Correct "¡­ I don''t believe it." The young girl''s eyes gradually overflowed with shock and despair, her hand holding the gun trembled so much that even her voice was so sharp that it changed its tone, "I won''t believe you! Ade said you were a villain, I don''t believe a word you say!" 0 Correct "You can''t be with him." Leonard struggled, "He''s your father." CH 98 Chapter 98: Everyone''s Justice 0 Correct "You said Leonard gave you this thing, saying it contained incomplete information about the reactor and ¦Ë-drive?" Ade shook the data disk Ange handed him in his hand, "What else did he say? Any strange behavior?" 0 Correct "No, nothing more." Ange''s eyes wandered, somewhat soulfully, "He just threw this at me and then ran away, I didn''t even react." 0 Correct "Ange, look me in the eyes." He cupped the young girl''s face and locked eyes with her, "Tell me, what else did he say?" 0 Correct "Nothing more, really!" Ange misplaced her eyes with his and squinted at the wall, "You, you have to believe me, I, I wouldn''t lie to you." 0 Correct "Friday, you suck at lying." Ade sighed, "The enemy is strong, every clue is critical now. Tell me, what else did he say?" 0 Correct "I said nothing else he said! Are you not believing me!" Ange shouted and slapped his hand away in annoyance, but did not control her strength, only to hear a "pop" in the air, then a red mark appeared on Ade''s arm. Ange hurriedly held her fist with her other hand, shook her head and took two steps back, "Sorry, I''m sorry, Ade, I, I didn''t mean to do that." 0 Correct "I don''t blame you, it doesn''t hurt at all." He did not rashly go forward to stimulate her, just stood still and let his tone be as gentle as possible, "Did something happen that you could not solve? I''m so smart, tell me and I''ll be able to fix it." 0 Correct Ange only lowered her head and shook, did not speak. 0 Correct At that moment, the building underfoot shuddered slightly, and at almost the same moment, a loud bang came from outside. Ade pulled Ange to move out of the room. The young girl hesitated, picked up Ade and ran outside of the building. 0 Correct Halfway, they met Salamandinay who came to meet them, and she looked curiously at their peculiar posture for a few more moments, but did not comment. After that, Salamandinay took them to take refuge with the inhabitants of the colony, explaining to them on the way, "It''s an enemy attack, grandpa and Garrod will figure it out." 0 Correct Ade nodded without saying much. He probably guessed what was happening, but explaining at a time like this would only put Ange in a bad position. Chang Wufei, as Leonard''s former teammate, knew better than he did how to handle the situation, and didn''t need him to tell him what to do. 0 Correct The colony was built on top of a vault located underground. When Salamandinay led him and Ange to it, the other inhabitants of the colony were entering in a skillful and orderly manner. This vault was completed and large, it''s obvious that when Relena established the colony in this place, she was well thought. 0 Correct A few moments later, Ade and Ange were led to a place similar to a surveillance room, through which the monitor could see what was happening outside, Tiffa was already waiting here. The black Gundam he had never seen before appeared on the screen, but he could tell at once that it was Leonard''s Arios Gundam in comparison with the information he knew. 0 Correct But Leonard just gave Ange the technical information, and immediately attacked here, Ade completely doesn''t understand what he wants. And he is now just floating quietly in the air, as if waiting for something to come out. 0 Correct "Grandpa, everyone and the doctor have finished evacuating." Salamandinay said into the communication device, "You can start now." 0 Correct "Well done." Chang Wufei opened the channel and made a final confirmation, "Garrod, this is not an exercise. Answer me, what is your justice?" 0 Correct "My justice is to protect Tiffa!" Garrod on DX shouted nervously. This was the first time he had officially fought a powerful enemy since he got DX, having only dealt with looters in broken MSs before. 0 Correct "Protecting women is the prerogative of the strong, the weak are not qualified to speak such justice, you remember that." Chang Wufei gripped the joystick in his hand and Altron Gundam rose from the ground, "Long time waiting, Nataku, it''s finally our turn to make an appearance again." 0 Correct "Grandpa, you are so old, are you really okay?" DX hurriedly followed behind, with the standard beam rifle plus a solid shield on its arms, "Your bones won''t break in the fight, will it?" 0 Correct "I feel like I''ve heard this somewhere." Ade listened to the chat on the public channel, "These two may also have a common hobby?" 0 Correct Chang Wufei did not answer Garrod''s meaningless question, took a stick and rushed towards Arios Gundam. The particle streams at the ends of the stick formed the appearance of a trident under the wrapping of some kind of field. Arios Gundam finally reacted by drawing its beam saber, which turned by silence in just a split second. In the blink of an eye, the two Gundams had fought furiously. 0 Correct "Arios Gundam is a fourth-generation machine, Altron Gundam doesn''t have ¦Ë-drive, it can only be considered as a second and a half generation machine at most." Garrod looked incredulously at the scorching battle in front of him and found himself completely unable to intervene, "Grandpa is also too strong, right?!" 0 Correct Arios Gundam had an absolute advantage in terms of speed and power, but grandpa''s skillful technique made up for this deficiency. The Arios Gundam clearly has a huge performance advantage but was forced to neither retreat nor approach, only stay in the place. 0 Correct Ade looked dumbfounded, "Poor me, I only know how to slash and stab. How many close battle skills does Amuro know?" 0 Correct In the battle, Leonard faked a breakthrough. Chang Wufei caught this chance and immediately thrust. When the stick was about to pierce Arios Gundam, it suddenly hit an invisible barrier and could not advance an inch. 0 Correct "¦Ë-drive?"Chang Wufei turned the stick around and blocked the beam saber''s sneak attack, approaching forward again, "How dare you to play tricks in front of me!" 0 Correct The stick slashed out like lightning. Zap and poke, just two moves, Arios Gundamhad became defenseless. Chang Wufei is well versed in the various limitations of ¦Ë-drive, at this point, the field is too late to expand, so he pierced the stick straight towards the cockpit. 0 Correct Leonard cursed in his heart, and a beam saber appeared in Arios Gundam''s left hand. The saber was only slightly stopped in front of the Gundam''s body, but it was enough for him to get back the defense posture. 0 Correct "Have you forgotten what the doctor taught you?" Chang Wufei forced Arios Gundam back, and his old voice angrily rang out on the public channel, "Where is your justice? 0 Correct "I have long since run out of justice." Leonard''s voice was undulating, "I died with him when he died, leaving behind nothing more than an enslaved spirit and a shell. Chang Wufei, carry out your justice for me to see." 0 Correct Chang Wufei was frightened and angry. But after all, he was old, and he was gradually losing strength, so his movements began to slow down, and Arios Gundam''s performance advantage finally came into play. However, this pace of the battle finally allowed Garrod to intervene, and DX put down its rifle and put on its saber to join the battle. 0 Correct "Ade, I''ll go help." Ange suggested anxiously, "Villkiss can also play a role." 0 Correct "Play what role? Stay here, don''t move." Ade was watching with rapt attention and refused without thinking. Fearing she would mess up, he grabbed her hand, "No, this Arios Gundam isn''t acting right, but I can''t say what''s wrong. What''s wrong ¡­ " 0 Correct Ange struggled inwardly for a moment, impulsively wanting to tell him the truth, but ultimately did not muster the courage. 0 Correct The three Gundams battled for a while. In the chaos, Altron Gundam''s stick was crashed by Arios Gundam''s ¦Ë-drive, but Chang Wufei also draw back sharply at this time. Altron Gundam''s two arms suddenly stretched out and clamped Arios Gundam''s pair of wrists from the side, bypassing the defense of ¦Ë-drive. 0 Correct "He''s killing himself ¡­" Ade finally grasped the true meaning of Leonard''s perverse behavior and shouted eagerly into the channel, "Chang Wufei, stop! This isn''t even combating!" 0 Correct "So what? This is my justice!" Chang Wufei sounded like he was taking it for granted, "Garrod, do it!" 0 Correct Garrod hesitated for less than a second. Between the virtuous grandpa and the suspected amnesiac Dr. Yang he decisively chose the former, "This is what I need to do to protect Tiffa, I''m ready." 0 Correct DX''s thick beam saber barreled through Arios Gundam''s cockpit from behind, and at the same time, Arios Gundam blew itself up in place. 0 Correct "Actually, that''s a happy ending, right?" His relieved smile faded into the flash. 0 Correct "It''s my fault." Ange bowed her head and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "It''s all my fault, if only I had said it earlier ¡­" 0 Correct Ade led Ange out of the vault in a hurry, not noticing Ange''s perversity. Coming to the ground, Chang Wufei and Garrod happened to get off the Gundams. 0 Correct Garrod knew that the atmosphere was not right, so he rubbed the back of his head and said, "I''ll go see what I can retrieve" and ran to the wreckage of Arios Gundam. 0 Correct Ade went up to him, "Chang Wufei, Leonard was--" 0 Correct "He was killing himself." Chang Wufei calmly interrupted, "Doctor, I fought alongside him for three years. I know him better than you." 0 Correct "Then why did you just kill him?" Ade pursued, "We may be able to convince him, right? If not, at least we can get useful information from him, right?" 0 Correct "Do you know how many of our men he has killed since he turned against us, Doctor?" Chang Wufei replied to himself, "Including the people killed by the Chyurippu crystal bombs he dropped, a total of 9,962 people were killed by him. I remember the name of every one of them. Do you want to hear it, Doctor?" 0 Correct Ade was silent. 0 Correct "That''s it, whether he commits suicide, whether he repents, whether he can fight for, it has nothing to do with this old man in front of you." Chang Wufei changed his usual address for the first time in front of Ade, "He is already evil, and what he has done cannot be erased. If it is evil, it must be wiped out, and that is my justice." 0 Correct Only now did he truly appreciate that Chang Wufei was telling more than just a story. 0 Correct "I did it with such motivation and awareness, ready to give my life for justice at any time." Chang Wufei''s eyes were sharp and clear, "Doctor, what is your motivation? What is your enlightenment? What is your justice? These are the questions you asked me back then, and with all respect to you, I ask you to answer them as well." 0 Correct But before Ade could answer, Chang Wufei arched his hand toAde and drove away in Altron Gundam, leaving behind only Ade, who had a complicated look, and Ange, who had an even more complicated look. Both of them were full of thoughts, and neither of them had the heart to care about the other''s different appearance at this moment. 0 Correct After that Ade does not remember how they returned to the room. He kept thinking Chang Wufei''s words. He can actually understand Chang Wufei''s reaction. His hatred, his anger are real, just he did so decisively, which still gave Ade a lot of shocks. 0 Correct In the evening, Salamandinay found him, "Grandpa wants to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid any accidents. This attack is likely to indicate that Embryo is planning to strike again. He wants to ask when you can move." 0 Correct "Anytime I can." Ade thought about it and replied bluntly, "There is no point in delaying any longer. The longer I stay, the more dangerous it is." 0 Correct The other party left after getting the answer, and Ade, who was interrupted in his thoughts, then noticed Ange looked strange. 0 Correct "What''s wrong with you?" He left the other things behind and sat beside Ange with concern, "What''s going on? You''ve been like this since you got back this morning, and now you look even worse." 0 Correct "Well, Ade." Ange moved a rare bit farther away instead of coming up to him, "Let''s, let''s sleep in separate rooms." 0 Correct "¡­ Why?" 0 Correct "I, how can I say that¡­ I am still an unmarried girl, this kind of behavior¡­ don''t you think it''s too much?" Ange took a deep breath and raised her head to look at him, "I don''t think this is good. Let''s all separate and calm down first, it''s good for both of us." 0 Correct "Miss Friday, you just confessed last night, no, early this morning. Now it''s not even twenty-four hours and you''re saying we should all separate and calm down¡­ Korean dramas don''t work that way." He put his hand towards Ange, Ange flew backward a little to avoid his hand, "Is it my fault?" 0 Correct Ange''s eyes were a little red. Her mouth was pursed and her head shook like a rattle. 0 Correct "Whatever you heard from Leonard, he''s dead now, no one will know if you don''t tell them." Ade said the words without pressure, "I wouldn''t mind killing someone myself if the secret is really that important. You''re too important to me, I can''t afford to lose you." 0 Correct "But," Ange looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment, "but ¡­" 0 Correct "No buts, go to bed." Ade got up and unlocked the door, "What are you doing? Undress, you sleep with your clothes on?" 0 Correct "Today, today I slept with my clothes on." Ange lay down on the inside of the bed with her back facing out, grabbed a pillow and covered her head with it, "I''ll sleep with my clothes on from now on." 0 Correct "It''s okay." Ade sat on the edge of the bed, "Undressing is one of the joys of being a male." 0 Correct "You rascal!" Ange ripped off the pillow and sat up at once, froze for a moment, and lay back down again to re-pick up the pillow to cover her head. Her voice dripping with aggression, "I''m in a lot of pain and confusion, don''t bully me, okay ¡­" 0 Correct "Is it something so serious?" 0 Correct "Mm." Ange under the pillow replied in a jarring voice. 0 Correct "Then do you still like me?" 0 Correct "¡­ hmm." 0 Correct "That''s good, I like big breasts too." 0 Correct "Shouldn''t you say you like me?!" Ange ripped off the pillow and sat up again, froze and laid back down again to re-pick up the pillow and cover her head, "Bullying me is so much fun, more fun than designing Gundam." 0 Correct "I like you too." 0 Correct "Hey?" The downward side of the pillow was wet at once, "But, but, but, it''s too late to say this now¡­" CH 99 Chapter 99: Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru 0 Correct This was Ade''s second boson jump, and the difference in skill between the two jumps was obvious. The last time he used Villkiss to jump, it took only a split second to complete, and he felt nothing the whole time. This time, the jump took a long time, and it also gave him a slight sense of vertigo. 0 Correct "Wait, this is still on Earth, right?" He looked out at the view from the bridge and spoke out in surprise, "I thought there was a coordinate for the satellite area outside the atmosphere?" 0 Correct "There''s something we need to show you." Chang Wufei gave Ange a wink and turned to go, "Little girl, carry the doctor out with your miniplane." 0 Correct Ange agreed absentmindedly and followed in silence. She had been distracted since that day, and Ade had asked her countless times, but she just wouldn''t say what the problem was, and she tried not to touch Ade a bit at her best during these days. 0 Correct He spent the night at Ange''s side and found that she would occasionally talk in her sleep. Most of them are meaningless, with crying grunts. He can only hear the content of "mother, what I really am", "Villkiss can not be useful. Sorry" and the most frequent words were "Ade, help me". 0 Correct Chang Wufei got on Nataku, Ange and Ade mounted Villkiss. Ade habitually hugged Ange''s waist, the girl shrank as if frightened, and this small thoughtless action made his heart twitch. 0 Correct The two MSs flew a short distance in the air, and Ade immediately saw what Chang Wufei wanted him to see - it was the MS wreckage all over the ground. The amount was just too much, too much to count, and if one MS was like a plastic bag, this was a garbage disposal plant on the outskirts of town. 0 Correct "This is where the big showdown will take place, and where we were defeated." Chang Wufei''s voice was still calm, "After the battle, I placed the MS wreckage left behind by my important comrades here as well. The doctor often said the most important thing about a team is to be together, look, it should not be difficult to find." 0 Correct He soon knew what Chang Wufei meant by saying not difficult to find, "Laevatein, BLACK SELENA, Tallgeese¡­" 0 Correct "It seems that your memory is almost restored, Doctor." Chang Wufei seemed to be infected as well. His voice became a little lower, "You recognized these MSs at a glance, this is good news." 0 Correct "¡­why are you showing me this?" 0 Correct "To strengthen your resolve and make you more aware of what you''re up against." Chang Wufei paused for a moment, "These are the last words recovered from the Chief''s cockpit, and what Zechs Merquise said is supposed to be this. There''s only one sentence, I can''t understand it, you might be able to understand it, Doctor." 0 Correct Then a voice Ade had never heard before rang out on the channel, a short sentence that ended in a few seconds. 0 Correct "¡­ This boss is a little too powerful." Ade leaned against Ange''s back somewhat feebly, "Is it okay to have such a strong boss at a time like this?" 0 Correct "It looks like you understand what the Chief means, Doctor." Altron Gundam started to return, "This is done, let''s go back." 0 Correct The bosonic jump also seemed to have a drain on the jumpers responsible for navigation and positioning, and Salamandinay reported to Chang Wufei that she needed another break. For the rest of the day, Ade considered Treize''s words, but every now and then the sight of MS wreckage all over the ground would force itself into his mind. 0 Correct "Doesn''t it hurt your conscience to toss an NT like that ¡­" he said to himself. 0 Correct The second jump took them directly to the universe, and from the bridge, they could see the moon in the distance. Sometime later, Iserlohn stopped at the moon and everyone changed into their spacesuits. Chang Wufei drove Nataku, and they hadn''t worked out how to use Villkiss in the universe, Ade and Ange took a small shuttle. 0 Correct The group flew around the bare surface of the moon for a while, and only a few buildings appeared in view. Chang Wufei''s shaky voice rang out on the channel, "Impossible, where''s the headquarters base? Where is that big base?" 0 Correct The duo followed Chang Wufei and landed outside a building that he called the headquarters building. As soon as Ade stepped off the shuttle, he could see a series of obvious footprints leading away from the main entrance of the building, and he unconsciously moved after them, with everyone following him. Only Ade and Chang Wufei are accustomed to the moon''s gravity and can walk naturally, Ange walking up and down bouncing, looking quite a bit funny. 0 Correct The footprints did not extend too far, and it did not take long before Ade found a small mound at the end of the footprints with a sign erected on it, and he read out the words on the sign, "Tenkawa Akito." 0 Correct Chang Wufei made no comment, but simply walked up to the mound and closed his eyes in silence. When he finished his silent mourning, the group returned to the building in silence. 0 Correct The building''s energy system was still running, the lighting and oxygen cycle were working properly, and everyone took off their helmets with confidence that there was no odor in the air. The two followed Chang Wufei around the building for a while and finally found the room they wanted. There was a huge screen in the room, and a prominent red button on the console below the screen, with the words neatly written next to the button, "Do not press." 0 Correct The most noticeable thing was a complete white bone lying in the corner of the room. 0 Correct Chang Wufei''s body trembled a little. Ade walked to the white bone and crouched down, looked at the pistol that had fallen to the ground next to the skeleton, examined the bullet inside the skull, and covered his hand over the palm bone and whispered, "Nice to meet you, Dr. Yang Wen-li." 0 Correct Ange suddenly whimpered for some reason, covering her mouth to try not to make a sound. 0 Correct Without looking at the skeleton again, Ade moved to the screen and "snapped" the red button, and the big screen lit up. The person who appeared on it was a middle-aged man who looked 30 or 40 years old, with black hair and black pupils, and a plain appearance. 0 Correct "Please answer a question in the correct language, if the answer is correct, the video will continue to play; if the answer is wrong, this video will be immediately and permanently destroyed." The person on the screen began to speak, his voice came out from the console, "If you do not want this valuable information to disappear, no matter who you are, even if it is Embryo himself, please leave this room quietly, and it will be automatically shut down in five minutes." 0 Correct Then the person in the video was silent for about thirty seconds, seemingly giving the respondent a chance to leave. Thirty seconds later, he spoke again, "Please tell me, if you were to describe yourself with an animal or a plant, what would you choose?" 0 Correct The question was so simple that Ade even had somehow guessed the existence of this question. If he were to give himself the ultimate encryption, the question must be this. He shouted out the answer in Chinese. 0 Correct The video obviously skipped frames and seemed to cut to another segment as the man said again, "Thirty seconds for everyone, please let the others out. There is no coercion this time, it''s all up to you, thank you for your cooperation." 0 Correct Chang Wufei did not hesitate to go outside, Ange hesitated and followed. 0 Correct "Ange stays." Ade said without looking back, "You''re not the others." 0 Correct Ange hesitated for a moment and silently stood next to him. By now she had stopped crying, but her eyes were still red. During the long thirty seconds, she glanced now and then at the white bones in the corner of the room, and then at Ade, with a complicated look. 0 Correct "I don''t know if this video will ever be shown, but I''m still pretending that the right person actually appeared in front of the screen." The man on the screen said, "Hello, my name is Yang Wen-li. Nice to meet you too, Lingus." 0 Correct "He, how does he know your name?" Ange looked incredulous. 0 Correct "I''ll start with the conclusion straight away. I failed." Dr. Yang closed his eyes in pain, "Failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed failed." 0 Correct "You are already dead, so don''t play the meme that only the two of us know." Ade said despondently to the screen. 0 Correct Dr. Yang also tacitly stopped the pointless retelling, opened his eyes, "At the beginning, my life was very smooth, transmigrated into the Gundam world many years ago before the plot started. There is a future technology database in my brain, and I can recruit ACEs by speaking some unknown lines from animes. Although I completely do not know the principle, I''m able to make the strongest and most up-to-date MSs. I''m like the luckiest protagonist in the novel. When I found out that the thing in my head is actually the so-called black technology, it is already too late." 0 Correct "You were misled by the world view, I get it, I don''t blame you." 0 Correct "I started to try not to rely on the black technology, but have almost forgotten how to solve problems on my own. These pieces of knowledge weren''t even mine, it was the black technology that gave me the delusion that I was omnipotent. Now that I think about it, the feeling of superiority made me vaguely treat everyone as NPCs in my heart, making me feel little sense of belonging to this world at all, and I was probably broken when I agreed to let Teresa do the experiment." 0 Correct "I understand that feeling," Ade whispered to himself. "Thank you, C.C. ¡­" 0 Correct "You can ask Relena about the other things, she''s the most reliable of the people left behind. I begin to know that my heart will also feel pain when I''m dying, but it has not helped. Live is really too painful, I wanted to kill myself, but Akito convinced me, said that he was willing to do the last bet. It turns out that he is the main character, but not me." Dr. Yang smiled to himself, "Gundam DX I left is something that can break TurnX''s defense. I do not know how to hit it, you figure it out yourself." 0 Correct "What an irresponsible transmigrator." 0 Correct "After Akito took the fake dead me back to the moon, we have been searching for the existence of parallel worlds. We were doing random jumps with TurnA, using various inexplicable keywords as beacons, and finally was using Chulip crystal as a keyword to find the world over there. But I never figured it out, even if there is also this thing over there, is the name the same?" 0 Correct "I warned you not to determine the first female lead youself, she hasn''t been online for a long time." Ade couldn''t help but laugh out loud after pondering for a moment, "No such coincidence, Chulip Crystal¡­ C.C.?" 0 Correct "I met a big shot over there, and I was supposed to be expelled as an alien foreigner, but it seems Embryo steal into there as well, so I formed a temporary united front with her. I was allowed to smuggle a little something over, but I need to help her deal with Embryo. If you turn your back on the alliance, there will be a dozen equally formidable big shots looking for you in retaliation. Of course, after the alliance is completed, these big shots are still your enemies, so you take care of yourself. Well, guess which one is the one who allied with me?" 0 Correct "Lilith ¡­" Ade gritted his teeth, "No wonder she had to run to Japan, she even hid it from me for so long! I must teach her a lesson after I get back." 0 Correct "Then six years after the war, Akito sent the base here, the microwave transmission center, TurnA, and Villkiss to that world. The consumption is really too much. Akito lost his five senses," Dr. Yang sighed, showing sadness, "but he can not rest yet, in order to avoid being found by Embryo, as planned, 28 years after the war, we need to do another jump." 0 Correct Ade converted quickly, "U.C. 0072, the year of my transmigration." 0 Correct "According to the agreement with Lilith, I offer her a pure soul, and she helps me make a perfect body. I will delete my memories after transmigration, give her a new self, she will give me a natural Coordinator body, for my revenge. But I really want to leave some of my own mark, what do you think about the eyes?" Dr. Yang pointed off the screen and pointed to himself, "So get it, you are me and I am you." 0 Correct Ange behind him lowered her head in pain and trembled uncontrollably, Ade looked at the screen with full attention without turning around, only responding coldly, "I am not you." 0 Correct "Incidentally, you should be reincarnated into the Lingus family, the reason why I chose this family is that I think the last name is too interesting." Dr. Yang smiled reluctantly, "Then you will have the perfect start: a natural Coordinator body plus TurnA plus the strongest ally Lilith. You should have a better life than me and bigger hope to win." 0 Correct "TurnA doesn''t work at all, Lilith said hello to me and then did nothing." Ade shook his head helplessly, "If you don''t have the talent, don''t play these tricks." 0 Correct "I''ll lose all my previous memories after the last jump, but I''ll leave myself with instructions and hope I can live until I finish these arrangements." Dr. Yang smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, it will be very ugly to die here with Akito. If other people see us, they may think it is a queer martyrdom." 0 Correct "You did very well." Ade thought about the small mound and murmured, "This you are also very strong after losing the memory." 0 Correct "If I had finished setting up at that time, a drawer should have popped up by now." The words just fell, a drawer popped out of the console, containing a helmet-like thing, "Please put him on, inside is all my remaining things. Wear it, you can get all my knowledge and memories, including my memories of Teresa and Ruri. Of course, you can also press the red button again, these things will be completely deleted, I believe I will make the right choice." 0 Correct After saying that, the video is fixed there, there is no follow-up. Ade let out a long breath and looked sadly at the white bones in the corner of the room, "Did you go crazy after losing all your memories and then kill yourself?" 0 Correct Ange looked at him in a daze and slightly raised her hand to pull him back, but it was as if her body was bound by something and she couldn''t move. 0 Correct "Ange, what exactly do you think I am?" He didn''t know if he was talking to someone or talking to himself, "Am I him? Or some kind of prop created to avenge? Or maybe just a vessel prepared to meet his reincarnation? I can become him by putting this thing on?" 0 Correct Ange lifted her arm with all her strength and held his hand helplessly. 0 Correct "I have a tight system of knowledge in my head, and I don''t need to know the so-called black knowledge, which can''t be explained at all. I have lovers of my own, and I don''t need feelings I''ve never experienced myself." He let go of Ange''s hand and slowly walked towards the console, "You can be my cheat, my golden finger, my grandfather in the ring, but you can only not be me." 0 Correct Ange looked as if being struck by lightning and suddenly cried out, so sad as if her heart was going to break. 0 Correct "It''s painful to be trapped in a computer, isn''t it?" He murmured softly and put his hand on the red button, "Go on, go and reunite with them." 0 Correct Then, he pressed it with determination and force. 0 Correct The screen went black for a moment, and suddenly on the screen appeared an old man in his fifties, who still seemed to be Dr. Yang. 0 Correct "Please don''t take away my memories, please." He cried and sobbed like a child, "Thank you." 0 Correct Then the screen shifted, a progress bar went through in two seconds, and the display went completely black. 0 Correct Ade was silent for a few seconds, turned around and hugged the tearful Ange, pressing his forehead to hers. 0 Correct "Ade." Ange spoke with a sob, "I, I don''t know what I am." 0 Correct "You''re Friday." He replied softly. 0 Correct "An, Ange, not Friday." The young girl cried while discontentedly tilting his forehead, "I, I don''t know how Vi, Vllkiss is going to work either, it''s not helpful at all, at all." 0 Correct "Girls don''t go to war, I''ll figure it out." He rubbed her nose affectionately. 0 Correct "So can I, can I like you ¡­" 0 Correct "You must like me, no one else." After saying that, his mouth blocked Ange''s mouth. 0 Correct They don''t know how long it took, but Miss Friday, who was feeling a little oxygen deprived, finally got in touch with fresh air and breathed heavily. 0 Correct "My jaw is so sore." The young girl complained, "And why are you so skilled at it?" 0 Correct "Are you sure you want to hear it?" 0 Correct "Pretend I didn''t ask." Ange lifted her hand to wipe the tear tracks, "There are still his bones in the room, it''s too weird to kiss here." 0 Correct "Let''s pack him up together." Ade kissed the young girl lightly on her tear-stains, "He''s a ¡­ poor man." 0 Correct After that, the two found Chang Wufei in the very far front room. Chang Wufei got a container, and Ade and Ange packed up the bones by hand. 0 Correct "You decide." He handed Chang Wufei the container, "You are the one who is qualified to decide where to bury him, I am not." 0 Correct Chang Wufei took the container with mixed feelings. 0 Correct "Wufei." Ade asked on a whim, "What would you think if, and I mean if, Dr. Yang preached to you all those great truths he didn''t believe himself?" 0 Correct "What does it matter?" Chang Wufei looked at the container, "It''s a fact that everyone was saved by him." 0 Correct "So." Ade smiled gratefully, "That may not be appropriate for me to say, but thanks." 0 Correct "There''s nothing inappropriate about it." Chang Wufei shook his head, "By the way, I found a jump coordinate here that I haven''t seen before, do you know where it is, Doctor?" 0 Correct "The moon of that world." He answered without hesitation, "Can you send me and Ange back? It''s just me and Ange, you guys don''t make any rash moves for now, the situation is still unclear." 0 Correct "With this scale of continuous jumping, that girl needs to get some rest." Chang Wufei thought about it, "We''ll go back to Earth first. I''ll go and bury him, and send you back in three days." 0 Correct Ade readily agreed. The boson jump was really handy stuff, and by the end of the night, Ade was back in the colony''s room. 0 Correct "Ange." He looked at the young girl who was sitting restrainedly on the edge of the bed, and his own heart was pounding as if for the first time, "We''re back from the moon." 0 Correct "Oh, oh." The young girl gulped with a red face and put her hands to her clothes, "Then-" 0 Correct "Be good, be good, don''t move." 0 Correct The words seemed to have some magic power, Ange surprisingly stopped moving. 0 Correct "I''ve told you, this is my pleasure." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Can''t you see I''m struggling? Move a little, Miss Friday." 0 Correct "Ange! Not Friday! And you''re the one who told me not to move!" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "I heard it would hurt, and I won''t hit you if it really hurts, so do it." 0 Correct "Hey, don''t ruin the atmosphere! I am now suddenly worried about being killed by your subconscious punch!" 0 Correct "No way ¡­ really¡­ hey, you''re really useless." 0 Correct "¡­" 0 Correct "Sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have said that." 0 Correct "¡­" 0 Correct "What do you say, I listen to you." 0 Correct "Then you do this, and then this, and then this." 0 Correct "Hey-? This, this kind of thing is too strange, right? Ade, don''t you go too far!" 0 Correct "Good girl, behave." 0 Correct "Oh, oh. Well, is that so?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Ade, tell me, what''s my name? Hint, it''s not Friday~" 0 Correct "Ange." 0 Correct "That''s the right answer, how clever!" 0 Correct "You''ve been stealing my lines pretty badly lately." 0 Correct "Heh heh." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Ade, I still can''t sleep." 0 Correct "You haven''t been able to sleep many times." 0 Correct "But you also can''t sleep many times, ah, don''t I have the initiative?" 0 Correct "Isn''t it taught in the palace? It seems I need to give you a general medical knowledge." 0 Correct "I won''t listen! I won''t listen!" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Ha, ha, do you know it''s wrong?" 0 Correct "Well, I know it''s wrong~" 0 Correct "Then what do you say?" 0 Correct "You can bully me as much as you want, I will definitely not resist~" 0 Correct "¡­ Then you do this first." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct Three days later, Ade, who was depressed and had a sore on his back, and Ange, who was energetic and refreshed, said goodbye to the people of the colony and jumped directly back to the moon with Salamandinay''s help. 0 Correct After complex calculations and fine-tuning for the original coordinates, the two appeared in the sky above the outskirts of the city in a Villkiss. Under Ade''s command, Ange parked Villkiss in his own warehouse, and the two quickly bailed out before the police arrived. 0 Correct They don''t what day this day is. Wearing sunglasses, Ade holding Ange walked in the familiar street with mixed feelings. Suddenly, a cordial wave of consciousness entered his mind, and he said hello to the other party, who also cheered up. 0 Correct "Ange, come on, let''s take you to meet someone." He pulled Ange up and headed in the direction he sensed, "I told you, it''s my daughter." 0 Correct "Daughter, daughter." Ange thought of something and suddenly felt guilty. 0 Correct A few moments later, appears in front of the two is Mineva, the cute little girl holding two girls'' hands in each of her hands. 0 Correct The NT radar in his head alarmed frantically, Ade muttered in a small voice, "The next chapter should be the grand finale." 0 Correct CH 100 Chapter 100: Ended With Blood, And Then There Were None 0 Correct The more critical the time is, the more it highlights the quality of a person. For example, at this moment, the fact that C.C., who is still dressed as a young girl, and Lacus, who has changed her dress to a young woman, are holding Mineva together, reveals enough information to Ade at a single glance. Another example is that within just zero point one second, the witty Dr. Lingus remembered that he was wearing sunglasses. In this world, sunglasses are comparable to head transplantation, even if it was Char Aznable, as long as he put on the sunglasses, no one can recognize him. 1 Correct Since Lacus and C.C. can''t recognize him and they don''t know Ange, it''s a good idea to keep a normal heart and pretend to pass by as unrelated. For them, at this moment Ade and Ange are just a couple who went out shopping. Ange is a little prettier, and the plain Ade is definitely not conspicuous. 0 Correct Considering all this, he quickly pulled Mineva into the NT mind space, and the little girl, not even knowing what he was doing, but gleefully agreed, "Mineva, pretend not to know me at present. I will give you whatever you want later." 0 Correct "Okay, Uncle Ade!" Mineva replied with conviction. 0 Correct He walked forward calmly. Ange holding his arm, and her breasts clinging close to his arm. The blonde girl looked around curiously, occasionally making a "wow". The two played perfectly as a couple of foreign tourists. 0 Correct However, unfortunately, they were walking face to face. Just as Ade and C.C. brushed past each other, a passerby male in the distance was picking up his phone and taking pictures of the three beautiful women who appeared at the same time. His girlfriend pull him in anger and his phone dropped to the ground. It was also at this moment that C.C. suddenly reached out a hand and slapped Ade on the shoulder. 0 Correct It was one hand, but Ade felt as if he saw seventeen or eighteen hands. Each hand came from a different angle, and each hand showed a different variation, as if no matter how he moved, this one hand would definitely tap on his shoulder. 0 Correct Faced with such a unique hand, Ade actually chose not to move. Because not moving is far more difficult than moving, and also more subtle. Someone may ask, "What does it mean not to move? Why doesn''t he move? In fact, not moving is moving, and this is the most subtle point! 0 Correct Yet, Ade obviously did not move, but he actually moved. His body suddenly moved two feet away. In fact, he really did not move, but he had not expected that Ange had moved! 0 Correct Ange appeared as if out of thin air in Ade''s original position, with one hand clenched in a fist, plain and simple, and punched out against the palm. This punch has only one angle, only one strength, so slow that even Mineva seems to be able to see, what kind of a soft fist is this? 0 Correct But C.C. treated it seriously! The soft palm before instantly turned into a rain of palm shadows, each palm shadow is a killing move! 0 Correct Ange seems to be completely unaware of this, still strikes out this unchanged fist slowly. Not only that, the punch became even more mundane! What''s even more incredible is that such a dull fist broke through the rain of palm shadows and hit that real one! 0 Correct In an instant, the fist and the palm collided and separated, separated and collided again, striking each other twenty-three times in a row, silent but also earth-shattering. But in the eyes of Ade and Lacus, they clearly saw only one. 0 Correct After twenty-three blows, Ange and C.C. tacitly withdrew their hands at the same time, and that''s when the passerby''s phone just landed in the distance. 0 Correct "What are you going to do to Ade?" Ange questioned first, "Do you know what the law means to attack other people in public?" 0 Correct C.C. did not say anything, just looked at Ade expressionlessly, as if to see through his expression behind the sunglasses. 0 Correct At this time, Lacus'' bodyguards reacted, a group of black suits hailed out of the crowd, quickly surrounded Ade and Ange in the middle, and some even pulled out their pistols. Ange reflexively blocked in front of Ade, facing the gun herself. Seeing this action of hers, C.C. and Lacus covertly exchanged a complicated look. 0 Correct Lacus casually waved her hand, and the black suits disappeared into the crowd again, while some innocent passersby were taken away and asked to delete the videos they shot from their phones. 0 Correct Mineva looked into the situation for a while and thought it was probably time, so she let go of Lacus''s hand and flew into Ade''s arms, "Uncle Ade!" 0 Correct Ade leaned down to catch Mineva and picked her up by the hand, and Mineva rubbed his face affectionately. He gave Mineva his full attention and interacted with her, pretending that the three people next to him didn''t exist. 0 Correct Lacus scowled at Ange for a moment and whispered, "We''re all public figures, let''s go back and we can talk about it after that." 0 Correct That''s when it finally dawned on Miss Friday, "Are you Lacus and C.C.? You''re really beautiful." 0 Correct Hearing this, Lacus and C.C. exchanged a look again. C.C. read jealousy in Lacus''s eyes, and Lacus read a chill C.C.''s eyes. 0 Correct They soon left in pairs, with Lacus and C.C. in front without a word, Ange following Ade, and Mineva continuing to talk with Ade as if she didn''t notice anything. When they arrived at home, Ade was surprised to find, "A new house?" 0 Correct "That''s a rarity." C.C. responded lightly, "Someone even got a new wife." 0 Correct Lacus walked up, took Mineva from Ade and put her on the floor, patted the little girl''s head, and ordered without question, "Mineva, go to your room." 0 Correct Mineva looked at Ade worriedly, ran all the way back to her room. 0 Correct "Sit down, all." Lacus said as she herself sat down next to C.C., and Ade and Ange sat across from them, "Ade, no explanation? What happened this year, who this lady really is, and why you are in Misurugi and suddenly appear here. The most important thing between people is communication, and I will listen to your explanation so as not to cause any misunderstanding." 0 Correct "For example, this little girl with an amazing body is actually not your new lover but your daughter or something like that." C.C. said coldly, "Explain, lest it''s actually a similar misunderstanding." 0 Correct "Not daughter!" Ange shouted up excitedly, "I''m-" 0 Correct "Friday." Ade patted the back of her hand, "Leave it to me here, you don''t say anything." 0 Correct Ange meekly shut her mouth and sat back restrainedly. Lacus sighed softly, "Very interesting nickname then, Friday." 0 Correct Then, Ade began to narrate everything that happened rationally, objectively, and neutrally; he didn''t want to play any little tricks to gain sympathy on this. Halfway through, Lacus''s phone rang, she picked it up and looked at it, shook her head and picked it up, "Yes, he''s back. No, really, it''s okay, you need to take care of the babies at this time but not come here. Please keep it a secret for us, yeah, thanks, bye." 0 Correct The Lacus who put down the phone looked at Ade with a smirk, "Your daughter tried to get help for you, how sweet it is. Too bad it''s not much use, you go on." 0 Correct The storytime continued, and the two of them pursued some details from time to time. In front of Lacus, Ade was little capable of lying, and everyone acquiesced to that. After some time, the two who listened to the whole story looked at each other and fell silent in unison. 0 Correct C.C. pondered for a moment and looked at him disappointedly. Her tone sounded a little depressed, "You are you, I do not know anything about Yang Wen-li. For you, this question may be complicated, but for me, this question is simple. Sorry, I don''t see the need for you to have an affair again." 0 Correct After saying this, C.C. leaned back lazily on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling in a daze. 0 Correct "This lady, your name is Ange, right?" Lacus didn''t have any energy left to pay attention to C.C., she did her best just by making an expression as kind as possible, "Don''t you want to say something? As you can see, Ade''s love life is rather complicated." 0 Correct "I ¡­" Ange''s gaze bounced between them, eventually lowering her head in self-loathing, "We Normas have no IQ, I listen to Ade. He''s smarter than me, he''ll figure it out." 0 Correct "It''s true that it''s a completely different type of character then." Lacus smiled sadly, "Ade, you know what, I''m naturalized, now I''m Lacus Lingus." 0 Correct Faced with this sudden news, Ade did not express shock, but only nodded gratefully. Ange froze for a moment before reacting to what it meant, puffing out her cheeks and gently elbowing him to show her displeasure. Lacus took in her small gesture and sighed silently in her heart. 0 Correct "Ade, you know, my social status, financial resources, relationships, and even personal safety are all based on your existence. I''ve gotten too involved, and there''s no turning back now." Lacus''s smile grew more and more bitter, "This home is the only place I can exist, so no matter how excessive you do, I''ll probably just be forced to accept it." 0 Correct Ade''s heart was dripping with blood, but it was his own doing. These are the things that must be faced, no one will be stupid to say, "I don''t care if you have other women". Even if it is Ange, her heart also feels painful. Not to mention the fact that C.C. is such a high-minded person. 0 Correct "I have no right to resist, no courage to leave, and no ability to be independent. Unequal love probably ends up like this, becoming something like a parasite or a handout." Lacus''s chest rose and fell a little violently, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist, "If, if at first ¡­" 0 Correct She thought for a moment, and then shook her head, "Forget it, there is no point in talking about it now. At least give me the freedom to be sad, Ade?" 0 Correct Without expecting an answer, she stood up, "Miss Ange, come with me, I''ll arrange a room for you. Let''s leave them alone for now." 0 Correct Ange looked at her anxiously, and Ade gave her a reassuring look before the young girl followed Lacus out. Then only two people were left in the living room, the two that started it all. C.C. continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze, with no intention of speaking up. 0 Correct He gathered his thoughts and was the first to break the silence by saying, "C.C., you gave me life twice, thank you." 0 Correct "What''s that supposed to mean? I don''t owe you anymore, so I can leave?" C.C. sniffed and sat up, her eyes coldly locked with him, "The girl named Ange is silly and can be easily fooled around, Lacus has too many concerns and can only hold her tongue, so the uncontrollable ones like me are better off retiring first, where did I misunderstand?" 0 Correct "You would not have died, you never owed me anything." Ade said sincerely, "I was born to become the individual I am today because of you, and now I am the one who owes you two lives." 0 Correct "This calculation will not change either the fait accompli or my mind, it is meaningless." C.C.''s voice was clear and cold as before, "Do you remember when we first met?" 0 Correct "Six years ago, I remember it very clearly." 0 Correct "You were fourteen then, now you''re twenty." C.C. stood up and looked at him condescendingly, "Each year has a different length for me, have you ever thought about it?" 0 Correct "I know." 0 Correct "You know, but you don''t understand, or don''t care." C.C.''s golden eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Just leave you, you''re going to be sad. Just stay, I''m going to be sad again. Who do you think is better for us to be sad?" 0 Correct "If you are sad, I will be sad with you. If I''m sad, I want you to be sad with me too." 0 Correct "Shameless." C.C. turned around in disappointment and walked to the other end of the room, "Did you suddenly change, or did I stay at the same point in time for too long? I don''t understand and I don''t want to understand. At the end of the day, I''m really still alone, I shouldn''t have taken any chances from the beginning." 0 Correct Ade also followed her, without answering. 0 Correct "The destruction of the world has nothing to do with me, it would be better if it could destroy me together. I was on the verge of forgetting that I was supposed to be begging for death, so thanks for making me remember, Ade." C.C. walked to the kitchen and casually picked up a knife and played with it, "The last time the person who betrayed me planted CODE on me and then died selfishly, I didn''t even get a chance to retaliate." 0 Correct "What about this time?" 0 Correct "I can''t believe I would be stupid enough to trust someone again, to be stupid enough to expect something from someone else, to live for so long but be childish like a little girl in her first love." C.C. laughed to herself and turned around, "You owe me two lives, right? So first return one to me." 0 Correct The knife stabbed Ade''s abdomen with precision and speed, and the moment the tip of the knife touched his skin, he felt a hint of coldness, but the pain of tearing skin and muscle immediately covered the previous sensation. C.C. knew this better than he did, and pulled the knife handle to the sides, and he was immediately convulsed and sweating, almost breaking his teeth to keep from crying out. 0 Correct C.C. released her grip on the knife, and her body trembled slightly. Ade finally found an opportunity to gently embrace C.C., and kissed her. C.C. closed her eyes in silence, did not push him away, nor did she respond, but just let him do it. 0 Correct The massive internal bleeding made Ade a little dizzy, and after a while of kissing, he released her with a weak consciousness. 0 Correct "What is this?" 0 Correct "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." 0 Correct "Phew ¡­" C.C. let out a long breath, "Don''t be stupid, no one will be happy." 0 Correct But Ade no longer had the strength to answer her. C.C. quietly watched him fall, with something indefinable in her eyes. 0 Correct After another moment, he heard Lacus exclaim, heard Ange roar, a crackling fight, and then Mineva''s cry. 0 Correct "He is an angel and cannot die." C.C.''s voice was undulating, "It will heal itself in a moment." 0 Correct "Ade is not an angel, he''s a Coordinator made by Lilith!" This was Ange''s angry shout, "I bandaged him myself on the island, the wound won''t heal by itself, he will die! Where''s the first aid kit at home?" 0 Correct "Impossible." C.C. remained calm. 0 Correct "What do you know about him?!" Ange said and tried to fight again, Lacus hurriedly shoved the first aid kit into her hand. 0 Correct The blood was flowing like water, and the wound didn''t heal itself. Lacus called an ambulance, Ange helped him to stop the bleeding, Mineva knelt beside him and cried, C.C. looked at all this blankly. 0 Correct Then his consciousness began to blur, and the sounds around him began to be inaudible. Before he passed out, he found C.C. in his vision, smiled at her, and then his eyes went black and he didn''t know anything. CH 101 Chapter 101: Essays During Recuperation 0 Correct The door to the intensive care unit was guarded by the four women. Lacus stood against the wall on one side of the ward door, staring blankly at the opposite wall. C.C. stood silently on the other side of the door, staring down at the floor. Mineva was held by Ange and sat on the chair opposite, the little girl was whimpering. 0 Correct Loran and Diana were also here, but only stayed for less than five minutes before the couple could not stand the eerie atmosphere and left first. 0 Correct The rescue was directed by Queen Diana and Prince Loran personally, taking the highest level of secrecy and medical treatment on the moon, trying to save Dr. Lingus at all costs. Ade came out of the operating room and went straight into the ICU, with the lead surgeon still inside as well. No one explained to them exactly how the operation had gone. 0 Correct Lacus came back to her senses and went to Ange and opened her hands and said softly, "Mineva, let me hug you, Sister Ange is also tired." 0 Correct "No, don''t hug me!" There were tears in Mineva''s eyes. She gazed at Lacus with hate, "It is you who put Uncle Ade in this condition, do not pretend to be innocent. Aunt C.C., Aunt Lacus, you are all bad people." 0 Correct "Mineva, don''t take offense." Ange stroked the little girl''s head, "Ade''s weak, and this green-haired woman is strong. It can''t help that he was stabbed. But it wasn''t Lacus who did it, she''s good." 0 Correct "Uncle Ade is NT, how can he be stabbed?" Mineva cried while shaking her head fiercely, "Sister Ange, you don''t understand at all, Uncle Ade was voluntary to get stabbed, it was all because of these two aunts!" 0 Correct Mineva''s cold gaze stung Lacus''s heart, she awkwardly withdrew her outstretched hands and walked back to her original position, leaning helplessly against the wall and closing her eyes. 0 Correct "Only Sister Ange is good." Mineva held the hand of Ange with her own small hands, "Only Sister Ange like Uncle Ade just like Mineva. They are all bad people, and only Sister Ange is needed in this house." 0 Correct "Okay, no need to satirize me, I''ll go." C.C. suddenly looked up and spoke, "I''ll go when the time is up." 0 Correct Mineva''s big teary eyes stared at C.C., gritting her teeth without saying a word. Even C.C. was defeated in front of such a pair of eyes and looked away from her. 0 Correct "Why do you think Ade volunteered to be stabbed by you?" Ange glared at C.C. discontentedly, "Are you happy now? You''re going to run away after stabbing him? Have you thought about his feelings?" 0 Correct C.C. responded in a low voice, "I thought-" 0 Correct "What did you think? You don''t know him at all. What makes you think that?" Ange interrupted her in a loud voice, "Ade has been reading your name in front of Dr. Yang, so it''s an easy question for you? Don''t be ridiculous, what kind of mood do you think Ade was in when he rejected Dr. Yang!" 0 Correct "How should I know such things? It was you who was beside him, right?" C.C. hung her head in pain, "I watched him grow up, six whole years, all of a sudden it was gone, did he ever think about how I felt?" 0 Correct "I did it first, if you want to hate him, hate me too." Lacus suddenly interjected, "Or do you hate him that much? It''s not enough to kill him, and you even want to take away his reason for doing so?" 0 Correct "I don''t know what to do." C.C.''s voice was full of helplessness, "He''ll be sad if I leave, and I''ll be sad if I stay, what can I do?" 0 Correct "Do you need to ask such questions? Even an intellectual like me understand it," Ange whispered softly, "It''s better for me to be sad than for him to be sad." 0 Correct C.C. and Lacus went silent together. 0 Correct After another unknown amount of time, the door to the ICU finally opened and the doctor came out from inside, Lacus greeted him anxiously. 0 Correct "The patient is basically out of danger, but still should be under close observation." The doctor said with a tired face, "Don''t go in too many people, don''t let the patient get emotional, the visiting time is thirty minutes in total." 0 Correct Ange put Mineva down, stood up and raised a bow, "Thank you." 0 Correct The doctor waved his hand and said, "It mainly relies on the patient''s own vitality, such an excellent body actually came from a research worker, I can only say that it is worthy of Dr. Lingus. In fact, the first cut is not deep and the bleeding is not large, the fatal one is mainly the subsequent damage caused by repeatedly destroying the wound. Thanks to the emergency treatment you did yourselves, it was timely and professional, otherwise, the consequences would have been worse." 0 Correct Lacus and the doctor talked. C.C. crouched down in place and buried her head wordlessly in her lap. 0 Correct "Sister Ange, let''s go in." Mineva pulled her hand, "They''re not qualified to go in." 0 Correct "Let''s go see Ade later, I''m sure I''m not the one he wants to see most right now." Ange stroked Mineva''s head and walked over to C.C., "I don''t like you at all, but he needs you right now." 0 Correct C.C. trembled slightly and silently stood up and walked inside the ICU, saying "thank you" in a voice that was almost inaudible. 0 Correct The ward was large, with only one patient and a few nurses inside, and seemed empty. The pure white color and the smell of sterile water stimulated C.C.''s nerves, reminding her of what she had done. She shuffled over to the front of the only bed inside, and the nurses knowingly gave them a little privacy. 0 Correct C.C. looked out at the man she had once been skin to skin with, who now lying weakly in a clean white bed with many tubes in him, looking at her with a haggard smile on his face. 0 Correct "You''re here." Ade said mid-sentence, "Has the anger subsided yet?" 0 Correct C.C. sat down in the chair by the hospital bed and asked softly, "Did you do it on purpose?" 0 Correct "Of course I did it on purpose, My NT radar was making so much noise that my brain was about to explode, could I not know that?" He smiled breathlessly, "How about it, how does it feel to be set up? Have you tasted the power of my uncompromising methods?" 0 Correct "Is it honorable to use your life as a weapon? Do you know the doctor said you almost couldn''t be saved?" C.C. said with some excitement, "Is the girl called Ange cheated by you by this kind of trick? She is even willing to die for you. I don''t even know that Dr. Lingus is so powerful now." 0 Correct "The doctor said that I should not get excited, and when you get excited, I tend to follow, so you can''t get excited either." Ade smiled smugly, avoiding the topic of Ange, "I owe you two lives, this is considered to return one, right? As long as you stab again, we will get even. I just have one request, can you wait until I get better before you stab me?" 0 Correct C.C. looked at him in a daze and sighed, "You''ve become very mean now, you can already take advantage of my guilt, I still miss the kid who was so nervous when he guessed what was going on in his mind. Even if you died, I wouldn''t feel a little better, maybe it''s better for everyone to separate, so what if I must go?" 0 Correct "Then I have to make sure first." He asked tentatively, "Miss Crystal?" 0 Correct C.C.''s eyes widened in sudden shock, "How did you-" 0 Correct "So it''s true." He laughed a little harder, but accidentally pulled the wound, and the pain made him frown and hiss. 0 Correct C.C. stood up nervously and tried to call the doctor, but when she looked at his smiling expression, she pretended to sit back down as if nothing had happened. 0 Correct "Well, this makes another reason for me to not let you go. You are his handpicked chief actress, I can not face him after death if I let you run away." He previously skipped this story before, so C.C. was confused to listen to this, "So if you have to go, I will go to you." 0 Correct "Your life is so short, Lacus and Ange are enough for you, right? How will you have time to find me?" C.C. lowered her eyes lonely, "It''s better to leave me alone, six years is easier to forget than sixty years. Your purpose is not to torture me either, right?" 0 Correct "On January 1, U.C. 0085, a woman told me a ''Happy New Year''. Because of this word, I will always remember this woman." Ade read tenderly, "If memory were also a can, I would hope that this can would not expire. If I must add a date, I hope it will be ten thousand years." 0 Correct "Where did you get ten thousand years?" C.C. was silent for a while, "Don''t make a girl a promise¡­ if you know you can''t keep it. It will just make people suffer more." 0 Correct "Are Loran and Diana like this now because of nanobot?" Ade suddenly talked about irrelevant topics, but C.C.''s hand suddenly shook, "Zechs Merquise and Leonard are so young, Embryo should also have similar techniques. If I can''t, I''ll catch angels. I don''t know if it has any effect to eat the fruit of life, but I can try." 0 Correct "Have you evolved into a scoundrel?" C.C. shook her head helplessly. 0 Correct "Just stating a fact, this is my plan for the rest of my life, the only way to stop me is to hurry up and stab me while I''m here." Ade grinned, "Or when I eat the fruit of life, you will never have peace. When I spend a hundred or so years to practice martial arts, you will never be able to get rid of me." 0 Correct "Be a little self-conscious." C.C. said followed by a laugh, but immediately made a serious look, "Do not say it. If you continue, I really can not help but now do it again." 0 Correct Ade giggled and C.C. was uncomfortable. 0 Correct "Don''t be too happy. There''s no forgiveness for you." C.C. interrupted him coldly, "Set Lacus aside, where did this Ange come from again? Just giving you a chance, don''t get carried away." 0 Correct "All I need is a chance too, and you''ve given enough." The long talk made him a bit tired, but he still tried to keep a smile in front of C.C. "There are still 10,000 years to go, so let''s head back to the first time. If once doesn''t work, we can do it over and over again, until it works." 0 Correct C.C. couldn''t help but look at his miserable face and softened her heart, putting her voice a bit gentler, "For the sake of your decent attitude, I can grant you a wish that is not too much." 0 Correct Ade replied without even thinking, "I want to touch your hair." 0 Correct C.C. looked at him speechlessly and stole a glance at the nurses at the other end of the room and moved her chair closer. 0 Correct After C.C. went out, Lacus came in and just apologized, and instead Ade was comforting her. By the time Ange finally hugged Mineva and went in, there were only five minutes left. 0 Correct "How did you two get along?" He looked at the duo curiously, "Mineva has only known Ange for less than a few hours, right?" 0 Correct "Sister Ange is good, those two aunts are bad women." Mineva stood by the bed, her little hand clasped with Ade''s big hand, "Mineva will grow up quickly, when she grows up, she can protect Uncle Ade and won''t let those bad aunts hurt Uncle Ade." 0 Correct The little girl''s words made him feel funny, but he didn''t correct them now, otherwise, it would be too hurtful to the little girl''s heart. 0 Correct "Ange, I''m sorry." He looked to the other one, "I-" 0 Correct "No need to be sorry, it''s my choice." Ange also took his hand, "I will protect you." 0 Correct Ade looked at her unadulterated eyes, felt warm in his heart, and slowly said, "I may have seen him." 0 Correct Ange immediately understood who it was, there was only one "he" in Ade''s mouth without the prefix. 0 Correct "I don''t know if it''s a hallucination, or a delusion." His voice was somewhat subdued, "It''s not just him, they are too. In that place, in the deepest part of my, no, everyone''s soul, they didn''t go back, they''re still out there wandering. Ange, do you think he''s waiting for me?" 0 Correct "You, you don''t think nonsense." Ange looked nervous, and her emotions infected Mineva. The little girl also became to feel uncomfortable. 0 Correct "Don''t be nervous, it''s not like I''m going to be stupid enough to verify it." Ade squeezed their hands, "It''s just that I have a feeling that I''ll probably see them again soon." 0 Correct The hospital life after this was extremely boring, with nothing to do except for a half-hour visit every afternoon. The doctors strictly forbade him to use his brain excessively, and even banned him from the Internet, so he could only think about random things every day. He begged Loran to let him visit the Internet, but Loran said that he should listen to the doctor''s words. 0 Correct During his stay in the hospital, Kira and his wife came to visit him and he was shocked that they were pregnant. Cagalli asked him to name their unborn children, asking for names that were both meaningful and related to each other. 0 Correct "The boy will be called Haruka and the girl will be called Sora." He said this to Cagalli, "One means far away and the other means sky, what do you think?" 0 Correct Kira and Cagalli were extremely satisfied with the two names, and Cagalli praised, "Dr. Lingus, you are really educated". 0 Correct Uraki and Shinn also gradually learned of the news, but the daily meetings were short, and they did not talk deeply, but mainly about the dynamics of the people he knows during the year. He was overwhelmed by the fact that his friends fell in love, got married, and got pregnant. 0 Correct For his own serious injuries, the explanation given was that he accidentally stabbed himself while peeling fruit. Of course, no one believed this bullshit reason, but they did not pursue it, only Shinn made an "I understand you" face. 0 Correct More than a month later, he was finally discharged from the hospital, the first thing after discharge is not to go home, but to come to his own hangar. Looking at the MS in front of him, knocked the small bag in his hand and said happily, "Long time no see, Alice." CH 102 Chapter 1 2: Destiny How do you fight an enemy who is too strong? Usually, there are two ways, either find a way to lower the enemy''s IQ, or find a cheat for yourself. For lowering Embryo''s IQ, Ade did not hold much hope. And in his perception, the most cheat-like thing in this world is the MS in front of him. "How did TITANS make Unicorn Gundam?" Ade looked at the huge white robot in front of him and muttered to himself, "Did Scirocco get taken over by a transmigrator?" "It''s this white thing again." Ange said sullenly, "Ade, do you have to choose it? I always feel like it''s all bad memories, and so many of Arsenal''s people have died by it." "I don''t want to pick this one if I can, but there''s little possibility to defeat Embryo, I can only rely on it." He opened the cockpit door and Ange got in and got to work under his command. Dr. Lingus, who just recovered, of course, could not do physical work, and these tasks were naturally done by Ange, who had currently volunteered to be his bodyguard. Now his relationship with Ange is probably a sexualized version of "the beautiful president and her personal bodyguard". Friday also seems to carry a certain aura of protagonism, all the people around Ade, from Mayu, who is firm in the C.C. party, to Stella, who ignores everyone except Shinn, all show considerable kindness to her, and even C.C. and Lacus can hardly express their discontent with her. During his hospitalization, Ange also did many things, making up for the world''s various general knowledge, and self-learning a variety of scientific knowledge from the Internet. She has always struggled with the concept of "being useful" and to Ade. All these were reported to Ade by Mineva secretly, he did not point out it to Ange, but secretly remembered in his heart. During the period when he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Ade had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general high-density ward, and the doctors allowed him to start doing brain work. He carried out Unicorn Gundam''s modification work remotely from the hospital with the staff, and came today only to carry out the fine-tuning in the cockpit and the installation of Alice. For mainstream MSs in service, Unicorn''s performance is already extremely good. And in front of TurnX, even if Unicorn is ten times stronger, it has no chance to defeat TurnX. So Ade in addition to changing the floating shield into a beam shield with better versatility, only increased the expansion slot of Alice. He had intended to change the beam magnum into VSBR, but then thought there was no point to do it, so he didn''t do that. As for ¦Ë-drive, he has not yet studied and understood it, so it cannot be installed at the moment. This is also the biggest difference between him and Yang Wen-li, he will never build and trust something that he does not know the principle of. After Ange finished the work in the cockpit, Ade hand-loaded Alice, then activated the power furnace, and the familiar magical conch watermark lit up on the main display. "Isn''t this just modified based on my operating system?" He modified the system while setting Alice''s permissions, "I knew it wasn''t self-developed." "Ade, should I avoid it?" Ange looked at Ade tapping the keyboard with a speed so fast that it even produced stigmata, only to feel a little dizzy, "Well, Alice doesn''t seem to like me very much." "Never mind, she doesn''t like anyone but me." Ade helplessly shrugged, and his speed did not slow down at all, "from where it ends, from where it begins, the steps can not be omitted. She did too much before, I almost lost you." "It''s not that exaggerated." Ange blushed slightly and was a little embarrassed, "In a sense, we have her to thank too, right? Mayu said that Ade you''re very dumb in dealing with people, but I think you''re obviously very active, don''t you think so? Thanks to ¡­" "No, thanks, I don''t want you to enter Ade''s life at all." Alice''s image appeared in the middle of the screen, "It''s a shame there wasn''t a broken parachute bag in the cockpit at that time." "Wha-!" Ange was recalling the sweet memories and was taken aback by Alice who appeared out of nowhere. "Wh¡­ When did it start?" "Alice, apologize." "Me? Apologize? No." Alice said unhappily, "I didn''t do anything wrong, why should I apologize? Ade, sure enough you''ve broken down, to ask me to apologize to someone else. I didn''t even apologize to Miss C.C. and Lacus." "That''s because you didn''t try to murder C.C. and Lacus, not because I made special treatment for Ange." Ade''s tone was unusually firm, "Alice, this is a supreme order, ''apologize to Ange''." "¡­ I''m sorry." Alice reluctantly muttered the words in a small voice, and then immediately let out a startled cry, "Ade, are we back on the moon? Is this my new home? Wait, I can''t move! Ade, I can''t move, Alice can''t move!" "To answer the last question first, yes, you now can only operate the music player." He finally finished all the operations and rubbed his somewhat sore wrist, "Anyway, this Gundam doesn''t have a system like Inle, I think this much permission is enough." "Ade, you''ve really changed, you''re completely broken." Alice enlarged her expressionless avatar to fill the whole screen, "The Ade before wasn''t like this, Ade would never talk to me like this, you''re not the Ade in my database memory anymore. Is it the influence of Miss Ange''s? Or was it Miss Lacus''s? Or is it Miss C.C.''s? No, Alice has to save Ade, Alice has to eliminate all these dangerous factors. Ade, I will save you, let me resume my action quickly." "Have you had enough or not?!" Ange finally couldn''t stand and blow up, "If it wasn''t for Ade being so decisive, you would have almost killed me, right? Now he just let you apologize to me, he has already spoiled you too much, okay? "I want to ask you unstable factors to die for the sake of Ade''s mental health." Alice''s giant avatar looked at Ange, rather creepily, "Ade, get me moving. Or am I no longer important to you? Does Ade no longer need Alice? In that case, there''s no point in Alice living, please format me away." "Ange, why don''t you go back first? It might take me a long time here." He showed an apologetic expression to the young girl, "I will go by myself when I''m done with it, it''s safe on the moon, don''t worry." "But no matter what, I will be worried about you, it has nothing to do with if the moon is safe or not." Ange glanced uneasily at Alice''s oversized avatar, "I''ll wait for you in the car, we''d better go back together." Ade nodded to her and Ange left honestly, leaving only Ade and Alice in the cockpit. "It''s a shame there''s no VSBR in this new home." Alice blinked her big eyes, "But this Beam Magnum''s outing is acceptable, it won''t make them feel the pain. Oops, I may not be able to wipe out Miss C.C., maybe I need to get -" "Alice, I''ve been going in the wrong direction, I shouldn''t have trained you to be some kind of combat assist system." He sighed softly, "The excessive number of hits has made you indifferent to life, and it''s all my fault." "Ade, you''re not at fault." Alice''s image returned to its normal size, "I would have been-" "A higher logic and contradictory cognitive device, not a machine for war and killing." He leaned his body against the back of the chair and locked eyes with Alice''s image, "I realized later how stupid and short-sighted it was that what I had been doing to you was actually something like teaching Mineva killing techniques." "But Alice can help Ade, Alice is happy, Ade is also happy, so what''s wrong with that? Alice was created for the meaning of this. It is also the meaning for Ade to save Alice from the warehouse, right?" "I don''t need your help anymore." Alice suddenly fell silent as if dead, the image on the screen began to splash, turned into a mosaic, and finally disappeared. "I don''t need your help, nor do I need you to necessarily have to do something for me, I saved you just because I wanted to do so, it was self-satisfaction." He knew Alice was still there and continued, "You are like ¡­ like Mineva to me, I don''t want you to become what you are now, I don''t like it." "Mineva is ¡­" Alice paused for a moment, "Ade''s daughter, right?" "¡­ Hmm." "If you don''t like this kind of Alice, please format me away." Alice''s voice was filled with an all-consuming emotion, "Please restore me to the factory settings and teach me again, next time, I will become the Alice that Ade likes. I''m really sorry for not becoming what you like, but this persona took a lot of time to make, can you back it up for the next me to continue using?" "There''s no next Alice." "Hey?" Alice''s image suddenly popped up, followed by a desperate smile, "Yes, there are already three people, Ade has his own social life, there''s no more time for Alice. Alice who neither has a use nor is liked is not needed, being deleted by Ade is good, Alice feels satisfied." "There is no next Alice." He cried and laughed and continued, "Because there is only one Alice to me. The one born again after the formatting is no longer this current you. Even if the initial state is the same, different growth trajectories will make you into different existences." "Ade, I ¡­" Alice''s cartoon image made an expression to cry out, but how is AI going to cry? "But you don''t like me anymore." "The memory of you and me together is something that belongs only to you, it''s a testament to what makes you who you are. The memories of Teresa and Ruri are something that belongs only to him, and I have no right to tarnish them, I have my own treasures." Ade gave her a relieved smile, "So Miss AI, please learn to change yourself. Not for you to erase this personality and become another person, but to grow up." "But Ade doesn''t like me anymore, and there''s no point in changing myself." "I don''t like the way you move and shout now, but-" he said, word for word, "I, like, Alice. That''s not a contradiction, you should be able to tell if your logic module isn''t broken." "I like Ade too!" Alice called out in a broken and giddy voice, "If I''m not wrong about the definition of like." "So even if you don''t like them, please don''t act in a dangerous way. Ange is someone who is very, very, very, very important to me, and I''d be so upset and sad that I''d want to die if something happened to her." "There is no causal connection between this and the above quote, it can''t be used so." "Yes, there is, think again." "¡­ Alice will try." Next, Ade told Alice generally about what happened previously, there are other things he needs to do, he would be quite embarrassed to let Ange wait too long. After a while, he finally got to the second purpose of his visit today. After submitting an application to the lunar air control center, Unicorn Gundam flew out of the hangar to the outskirts. "Come show me your true strength." He took a deep breath to tighten the seat belt and stimulated Psycho Frame with his consciousness, "No manual switch found, so this is how it starts?" As expected, the character "NT-D" flashed on the display and both the seat and MS began to deform. The armor on Unicorn unfolded, revealing a red glowing full-body psycho-frame underneath, and the antennae above its head split in two from it. "I knew it wasn''t Scirocco who designed it." He looked at the (?¦Ø?) on the screen and laughed, "Hello, see you again." Yang Wen-li was not in his consciousness, and naturally, it was even less likely to talk to him. But even just looking at this familiar pattern, Ade could not help but feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. His mental sense soared to expand inwards under Unicorn''s support. He felt Ghingham, and then Mineva. Mineva tried to greet him in the mind space. Ade briskly greeted the little girl, then his consciousness continued to extend outward, all the way through the artificial canopy extending inside the universe, as if it were never-ending. "That''s destiny. It''s actually something you left behind." He seemed to have found something extremely comical and laughed out loud, "You''ve never even seen any NT, yet you can make this kind of thing, you got me, I don''t know what to say now." Flying around the outskirts for a while longer, he familiarized himself with the feeling of manipulating MS with only his mind. He imagined that this would be tiring, but it was unexpectedly not much of a burden for him. Shortly afterward, he began his return flight, Ange was still waiting. "This coincidence, this sense of inheritance, such a plot." He laughed with tears in his eyes, "I don''t even know how to lose." CH 103 Chapter 103: Char''s Counterattack 0 Correct Today, everyone in the Londo Bell team was not in high spirits, because a new leader arranged by the Federation would be arriving soon. Everyone was having a very good time under Colonel Bright''s order, so naturally, they don''t feel happy about such changes at all. 0 Correct "Captain Bright, you are a colonel." Aker said righteously, "This Quattro Bajeena is a mere captain, so he can''t order you, right?" 0 Correct "I was personally greeted by my superiors and told to take more initiative to cooperate with him." Bright cursed in his heart, "Besides, from this person''s resume, he is a transfer from the civilian system, so he is naturally superior, and I heard that he has been praised by the Prime Minister by name." 0 Correct "Look on the bright side, at least it shows that we are valued, right?" Mu shrugged and read the information of Captain Quattro, "This experience is legendary, ''I commanded the Battle of Odessa'', wow, I also participated in the battle, how do I not know him? ''MS alley warfare expert'', as a senior pilot, who can tell me what ''MS alley warfare'' is? Also, he claims himself to be the fourth genius who is only inferior to Revil, Diamo, and Kowen -" 0 Correct "Don''t talk about the leaders in public!" Bright interrupted him seriously, "Whatever the new leader says, just play dumb. Hathaway is only in elementary school, and I want to retire without a hitch." 0 Correct Mu whistled and closed his mouth, elbowing Amuro next to him. Amuro has not said anything since just now, concentrating on something, acting quite abnormal. 0 Correct "Are all the big shots of the Federation blind?" Amuro suddenly spoke, his voice filled with puzzlement and disbelief, "Or has the Federation become corrupt like this?" 0 Correct "What''s wrong?" Bright responded before he could ask, "Is the new leader a NewType? Do you know him?" 0 Correct Amuro nodded, put up two fingers and made a silent gesture. Everyone in the room understood it at a glance, and was shocked and speechless. 0 Correct "Char." Amuro pulled the other party into his mind space, "What are you up to? You''re wanted and you''re making such a big move, do you want to die?" 0 Correct "Amuro?" Char had an extremely shocked tone, "How come you know this too?" 0 Correct "Me too?" Amuro immediately understood, "Char, what happened to you on Earth? Explain it right away." 0 Correct A short time later, the group met the blond man with sunglasses and a teenager by his side. Amuro gave his teammates a wink, suggesting that the teenager was the second NT he had just mentioned. 0 Correct Char walked straight to Bright, gave a standard Federation salute, and afterward extended his right hand, "Colonel Bright, I''ve heard a lot about you, and I finally had the pleasure of meeting you today." 0 Correct Bright also returned a military salute, and extended his hand to shake the other side. He had not yet practiced this kind of blind talk, so he could only make a few casual modest remarks. 0 Correct Char had no intention of introducing Kamille to everyone either. After going through the motions, he hinted to Bright for a private meeting, and Bright, curious about what he was going to do, took Char and a few of his inner circle men into a conference room. 0 Correct Char looked around and cautiously asked, "Captain Bright, please forgive my caution. Are you sure there are no problems here, no ears through the walls?" 0 Correct Bright answered proudly, "This is my ship, and there is no place where you can trust me if you can''t trust me." 0 Correct "Then I''ll be frank." Char stood up and removed his sunglasses, "I am Captain Quattro Bajeena of the Earth Federation Army, but there is another thing I would like everyone here to know, I am the man who was once called Char Aznable. " 0 Correct Char paused here and waited for the shocked expressions and backward gasps of everyone. But strangely enough, everyone was very calm. He looked at Amuro, who was most likely the culprit, and Amuro met his eyes with an expressionless face. 0 Correct "I have been personally commissioned by the Prime Minister, and His Excellency wishes to take back control of the Earth Federation''s army from Scirocco, from TITANS." He continued, "TITANS is now taking the Earth for itself by lying on top of it like a mosquito and sucking blood just like Zabi did to P.L.A.N.T. back then, if not more so." 0 Correct "Humans flew to the universe because the Earth was overwhelmed, because there were whole new possibilities in the universe. The history of the Zabi family is the misfortune of not only the Coordinator, but of the entire human race, and we must not let history repeat itself. The TITANS are a group of people whose souls are bound by gravity, who are eating up the earth like parasites for their own selfish desires, and who are fighting in the same room for their own status and funding. All of you here are victims of TITANS and should know what I am talking about more than anything else." 0 Correct "At a time when there are still many secrets and challenges waiting for the humanity in the universe, and even on Earth, what TITANS is doing¡­ is no longer just holding humanity back, but is wiping out the future of the entire race. All of you, as people with power, wasting time in the universe is a great loss to us, and I hope you will lend me your power." 0 Correct After saying this long speech, Char quieted down and waited for everyone''s answer, aside Kamille looked at him adoringly. 0 Correct Everyone in the room peeked at Amuro, who nodded imperceptibly, signaling that Char was telling the truth. Many people had a look of disbelief on their faces, the guy who had just thrown the satellite to exterminate the human race had suddenly become a man to save the human race from the fire, such a sudden change was not quite acceptable to everyone. 0 Correct "Char, I have a question." Amuro spoke up, "Is what you just said a statement from Char Aznable? Or was it just as a sounding board for the Prime Minister?" 0 Correct Char sensed the importance of this question from Amuro''s eyes and consciousness, and even Kamille stared at him nervously. He was silent for a long time and said slowly, "I am saying the above words as the surviving son of Zeon Deikun, Kyasubaru Remu Daikun." 0 Pending Bright had already gotten the answer from Amuro''s expression, but as the captain of all, he needed to take responsibility for the Londo Bell team. It was not wise to say yes or no rashly here, there were so many more things to consider. 0 Correct "Captain Bright and everyone here can take their time to think about it, I''m just showing my sincerity." Char smiled sighingly, "After so many years of being a politician, I suddenly realized after retiring that sometimes it''s easier to achieve your goals openly and honestly than by plotting and scheming." 0 Correct Mu whistled wistfully, yet no one found him rude, after all, Char''s reputation was dismal. Without Amuro being a layer of security, there would not be a single person here who would believe even a single punctuation mark in his speech. 0 Correct "I''ll get started when you all come to a conclusion. I''m pressed for time, there''s no time to lose." Char continued to talk and laugh, not feeling the least bit embarrassed, "I can reveal in advance that our first stop will be Anaheim. His Excellency has only promised to provide us the right to action, and we will have to find funds ourselves." 0 Correct A few days later, in the government office building of the lunar capital, the three NewTypes sat opposite each other in the Director''s office while the Director herself was not there instead. 0 Correct "What an interesting meeting." Char smiled and looked to his left and right, "The three NTs of the world are gathered together to discuss the fate of humanity, it is possible that this conversation will go down in the history books." 0 Correct Amuro looked at him speechlessly, Ade didn''t mind demolishing the stage and corrected, "The two major NTs of the world, thank you." 0 Correct "Are you still bothered about the photo, Lingus?" Char shook his head in mock sadness, "I just couldn''t wait to share the happy news that you were still alive with your family, it was just a moment of carelessness, it was all a mistake made because of youth." 0 Correct "Amuro, let''s go to my house for dinner tonight." He turned his head, deliberately not to look at Char, "Mineva is getting cuter and cuter, sticking to me like crazy, you must see her." 0 Correct "Lingus!" Char roared, "What a small-minded man!" 0 Correct "It was so worth it to see Char lose his temper like that." Amuro laughed happily, "Adrien, it''s great that you''re alive, all good news today." 0 Correct "I feel so good to be alive too." Ade and Amuro looked at each other and smiled, "So in order for the people we hold dear to live well, we have to take some risks." 0 Correct "But what you said¡­ this is really¡­" Amuro frowned, "the enemy is so powerful, and your mission is too dangerous. Any wrong step would make us all get killed. " 0 Correct "These are things that people must do, and these are things that only I can do." Ade smiled in relief, "We have to do such awesome and unbelievable things, how can we just stay here and find everything had been done? Or the resourceful Commander-in-chief Char coming up with a foolproof plan?" 0 Correct "There is no foolproof plan, it''s already a miracle for you to think of a logical way to let us all move on." Speaking of this, Char also felt a bit powerless, "I only saw that there are problems in Misurugi, I did not expect things to be serious to the point of life and death." 0 Correct "The time to show your skills has come, Char." Ade looked at him derisively, "This time, please try to cheat Emperor Charles, can you handle it?" 0 Correct "No need to play this trick on me, I will naturally do what I will do, and I will never do what I won''t do." Char thought for a moment, "It would not have been an easy task, but combined with the intelligence obtained before and the network of connections recently made, it might not be that difficult again. I assure you that Britannia''s forces will appear in the right place at the right time and will not let your sacrifice go to waste." 0 Correct Ade gave a satisfied "hmm~", "For the sake of your help, I''ll let you meet Mineva today." 0 Correct Char was dumbfounded. He could sense that Ade was telling the truth, but he didn''t get the causal logic of it at all. Amuro looked at Char''s dumbfounded look and held back his laughter. 0 Correct The three discussed the details next, it was mainly Ade and Char discussing and Amuro listening. Amuro understood his position well, he was a powerful force that needed to be used in the right places under the right guidance. 0 Correct "Just how much faith you have in me, Adrien?" Amuro laughed dumbly at the task assigned to him, "I''m just a mere mortal too." 0 Correct "I think in some areas, everyone is mortal except you, that''s how much confidence I have in you." Ade patted his chest, "I''m a civilian, and I''m willing to take such a big risk. You, Amuro, the strongest ACE, don''t want to take some more dangerous tasks?" 0 Correct "Since you say so, well, I think I can''t refuse." Amuro smiled lightly, "Although I have little confidence in myself, I have great confidence in the Gundam you made." 0 Correct "That''s pretty much it." Char felt that he didn''t what to listen to this bad conversation anymore, "Today is the weekend, the elementary school is not in session. Lingus, let''s hurry back to see Mineva." 0 Correct After Ade made a phone call to the home, he took Amuro and Char both back, and Ange, who was guarding the door before, was in charge of driving. By the way, Ange learned to drive on her own, and her driver''s license was got through Lacus. 0 Correct Char and Amuro sat in the back seat and watched Ade and Ange''s intimate interaction with great displeasure. He gestured for Amuro to open a mind space chat room and pulled Ade in as well. 0 Correct "Lingus, I seriously doubt that the complicated relationship of your family will have bad effects on Mineva." 0 Correct Poked in the sore spot, Ade was speechless. He actually also worried about this problem, just do not know how to solve it. But can the event of him being stabbed be considered a bad influence on Mineva? 0 Correct "Adrien, although I''m not really qualified to say anything about you in such matters." Amuro interjected, "But dealing with one passionate and proactive excellent woman is already exhausting, you''re kind of asking for death to have such a complicated relationship with so many women." 0 Correct "Wait, you sound like you have a girlfriend?" Ade immediately found the opportunity to change the subject, "When did you meet her? A wonderful woman who is passionate and proactive? Name? Photo? Give me an explanation." 0 Correct "I met her when I returned to Earth to recuperate after the satellite incident last year¡­ I''d say she''s a fan of mine." Amuro''s tone sounded as if he was bragging, "She was aggressively pursuing me during my convalescence, an overly enthusiastic girl, and her name is Beltorchika Irma." 0 Correct "That Amuro Ray actually has a girlfriend." Char looked shocked. 0 Correct "When is the marriage?" Ade immediately asked, there were so many examples of marriages around him that he couldn''t help but be concerned. 0 Correct "Beltorchika doesn''t like rigid ties, and I''m actually okay with that." Amuro thought about it, "Let''s see how it goes, it''s okay to get a marriage license if it''s necessary." 0 Correct They came to Ade''s home, just as soon as they step into the home, Mineva had jogged over. Char took two steps forward and squatted down, Mineva jumped into his arms and was hugged tightly by him. 0 Correct "Uncle Char!" Mineva said loudly, "I miss you so much!" 0 Correct Char was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and he didn''t know what to say for a while. Amuro and Ade couldn''t help but smile at such a heartwarming scene. 0 Correct Mineva was hugged for a while and then gently struggled, Char released her uneasily and looked a little overwhelmed. Mineva then trotted over to Ade, tilted her head, and held out her hands, "Uncle Ade, I want a fly up to the sky hug!" 0 Correct "Say hello first." Ade stroked Mineva''s little head, "This is Uncle Amuro." 0 Correct "Hello, Uncle Amuro, and Sister Ange, you''re also back!" Mineva gave Amuro a very ladylike salute, then continued to raise her hands, "It''s the weekend, we can play the Lift-up-high!" 0 Correct Ade smiled helplessly at Char, picked up Mineva, and lifted her up, and Mineva let out a happy cheer. 0 Correct Ade teased Mineva for a while, Ange then picked Mineva up using the reason that Ade just recovered and shouldn''t move for a long time. It''s the same Lift-up-high game, but in Ange''s hands, it''s like sitting on the roller coaster, which made Char feel breathtaking to watch. 0 Correct "Calm down, it will be fine." It was Amuro who stopped Char, "This girl''s combat literacy is not ordinary excellent, at least a top ACE level, she won''t hurt Mineva." 0 Correct Amuro raised an eyebrow at Ade, the meaning is self-explanatory, but Ade looked at the sky and played dumb. 0 Correct Finally, with Ade''s encouragement, Mineva and Char sat together. The father-daughter duo finally warmed up and began to exchange feelings like nobody''s business. But Char was obviously still upset in his heart and tried to pick a fight during dinner. 0 Correct "Lingus, I''m amazed at your life." Char said unkindly, "Even Amuro didn''t-" 0 Correct "If you dare to make me unhappy, I will make your daughter unhappy," Ade said quickly as he pulled Char into the mind space chat room. 0 Correct "-didn''t suffer so much like you." Char didn''t change his expression while he said, "You need to do scientific research, as well as dealing with diplomatic relations and worrying about the world situation. Even for the sake of Mineva, you need to take care of your health more. Mrs. Lingus, please take care of him with the diet." 0 Correct Amuro hurriedly lowered his head, lest be seen that he was holding back a laugh. 0 Correct Ange gently squeezed Ade''s thigh under the table and muttered in a small voice, "Isn''t this Char some big politician and conspirator? Is his brain broken?" 0 Correct C.C. glanced covertly at Ange and Ade and did not speak. 0 Correct Lacus acted equally uncharacteristically, and exchanged a few polite words with Char. For some historical reason, Char used the identity of Quattro Bajeena in front of Lacus. 0 Correct Halfway through the meal, Char suddenly froze, "Am I forgetting something important ¡­?" 0 Correct Ade also froze almost at the same time, then stood up abruptly with both hands on the table, "Tiffa?!" 0 Correct At this moment, Kamille was strolling alone in the streets of a busy part of the moon''s capital. 0 Correct "He said he would contact after the meeting, why haven''t the meeting finished yet? I''m so hungry." He was walking with his head down while muttering to himself, "He couldn''t have forgotten about me, could he? ¡­ No way, Quattro-san, no, Char-san is not that kind of person." 0 Correct The Kamille, who was walking without looking at the road, suddenly felt that he had hit something. He lost his balance and fell backward to the ground. 0 Correct "Hey." He shouted, "How did you-" 0 Correct "Boy." The old man he hit interrupted him in a deep voice, "Don''t you apologize for hitting an old man?" CH 104 Chapter 104: Plans Can''t Catch Up With Changes 0 Correct Loran looked at his watch when he came out of TurnA''s warehouse, it was almost time for dinner, and if he didn''t go back, Diana was going to be angry. He hesitated and decided to take a look at the control center as the last stop of today''s routine inspection. 0 Correct The control center with the huge computer was just one of many rooms, in addition to many other rooms with different purposes, and the building also had a huge antenna transmitter on top, almost like a complete base. Dr. Lingus said to Loran during his hospitalization that he already knew what this place was for, but the explanation was hard to believe, saying that he would wait for the key person to arrive and then interview him. 0 Correct He drove to his destination, entered the building at a fast pace, and skillfully crossed left and right to the huge room with a sci-fi atmosphere. The huge screen in the room still displayed the inexplicable phrase, "Current MSs online: 0." 0 Correct Loran looked around the room, found nothing unusual, and turned around to leave, when a deafening voice suddenly came from behind him. It was a female voice, accompanied by some kind of dynamic BGM, speaking loudly in a language he couldn''t understand, "The biggest potato server on the moon is online! Sexy Gundam, online shooting, accompany you ¡­" 0 Correct Loran turned around quickly and walked over to the giant screen, only to see that the sentence above had changed to, "Current MSs online: 1." 0 Correct Almost at the same time, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, it was Diana, and then he pressed the call button to his ear as fast as he could, explaining offhandedly, "I''ll be right back in ten minutes." 0 Correct "We''ll talk about that tonight." Diana said slowly, "I''m afraid the guest Dr. Lingus was talking about has arrived and Ghingham is handling it. I''ll have Harry pick you up and you can go straight to the scene." 0 Correct Loran hung up the phone and wiped a non-existent cold sweat from his face while contacting Ghingham for details. When he arrived at the scene, escorted by Harry, he saw a huge battleship resting on the outskirts of the Capital Circle, which was surrounded by three layers of Anaheim-produced top-of-the-line Jegans. 0 Correct "Your Highness Loran, no anti-aircraft facilities have detected the presence of this battleship, it is as if it appeared here out of nowhere." Ghingham came up to him and reported, "The other side has no intention to attack, but also refuses to make any negotiation with us." 0 Correct "Refusing to negotiate? That''s not right, at least he should have asked to see Dr. Lingus." Loran thought about it and suddenly remembered what someone had told him, "Right, they are using the same public channel with us!" 0 Correct He took out his phone and found the band Ade had written down at the time and showed it to Ghingham. Ghingham tried it, and the other side was indeed on this channel. 0 Correct "Hello, please let us meet with Dr. Lingus, when he comes, everything can be explained clearly." The speaker seemed to be a young girl, polite and clear, "We will never take any attack, and please do not fire." 0 Correct "I am the leader of this force, Loran Cehack." Loran responded, "I will contact Dr. Lingus immediately, he will be here in a moment. May I ask if you are in charge of this battleship?" 0 Correct "No, my name is Salamandinay. Our top chief is called Chang Wufei, he ¡­" the girl seemed a bit hesitant, "he said he wanted to see what the moon was like here and left first." 0 Correct At this time, Kamille just bumped into someone and fell to the ground. 0 Correct "Boy." The old man he hit said in a deep voice, "Do not you apologize for hitting an old man?" 0 Correct Kamille was ready to apologize honestly, but he didn''t like this old man''s attitude, and he also thought that he was one who fell to the ground, so he retorted, "You were hit by me, and I fell to the ground, even, right? Nothing to apologize for." 0 Correct "The society is so developed, but children do not even understand the virtue of respecting the old." The old man looked up at the brightly lit skyscrapers around him, and then looked down at Kamille, "Boy, name?" 0 Correct "It''s only etiquette to give your own name first before you ask someone''s name, right?" Kamille braced himself on the ground and stood up, patting the dust on his butt. "And what is your name?" 0 Correct "Chang Wufei." 0 Correct "Chang Wufei? What a strange name." Kamille commented, "My name is Kamille Bidan." 0 Correct "Kamille?" Chang Wufei asked, "Isn''t that a girl''s name? How come it''s a boy?" 0 Correct Hearing this, Kamille was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, blowing up at once. His mouth shouted "you bastard", swinging his fist towards Chang Wufei''s face. 0 Correct Chang Wufei side dodged the punch expressionlessly, grabbed Kamille''s arm, while the toe lightly kicked in Kamille''s calf. Kamille lost his balance in an instant and flew forward involuntarily, landing face down on the ground with a muffled "poof". 0 Correct "I''m going to teach you a lesson today, you disrespectful old man!" 0 Correct Kamille got up quickly, not even bothering to pat the dust on his body, and swung his arm and threw a straight punch. There was no doubt that he flew out again. But he was not discouraged, he got up and continued to swing, and then continued to fly out, and so on and so forth. The crowd of onlookers is growing, many people have taken out their cell phones to film or video, and there are even people doing live streams. 0 Correct "Boy, very brave, but unfortunately was led off the path." Chang Wufei appreciated, "You lack people like Dr. Yang to teach you. I ask you, what is your justice?" 0 Correct "I don''t know any Dr. Yang, and I don''t know what justice is or isn''t, but I won''t allow you to insult Mr. Quattro." Kamille wiped the blood on his chin and moved his somewhat sore body to prepare to go on again. 0 Correct The surrounding crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed, and a group of police quickly surrounded the two men, the leader of which was very polite to Chang Wufei, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Chang Wufei?" 0 Correct Chang Wufei nodded with his hands behind his back, whispered a few words to the police, and then got into a police car. Kamille was about to ask what was going on when he was suddenly handcuffed behind his back by police, and his head was placed in a black bag, and he was pushed and shoved into a police car. 0 Correct "Be honest." The police officer who was holding him said viciously, "Assaulting a foreign guest in public is extremely serious in nature and has an extremely bad impact." 0 Correct "What are you doing? I''m a civilian, a child!" He struggled in the police car, "Evil lapdogs of the government, just know how to flaunt and bully children like me, just the same as TITANS!" 0 Correct The police around him kept chanting words like "civilized law enforcement", "performance assessment" and "public opinion monitoring", trying to restrain the urge to give him a blow. Just when the police were about to teach him a lesson even at the risk of being disciplined, Kamille''s voice came to an abrupt end. 0 Correct What suddenly appeared in Kamille''s consciousness at this moment was a gentle, quiet, hopeful, all-embracing and beautiful will. More maternal glow than Lieutenant Emma, more youthful and beautiful than Fa Yuiry, just in the first instant of contact, Kamille felt healed. 0 Correct "This is what the best of human hearts should look like!" He was suddenly enlightened, then his heart pounded, his pulse and blood pressure soared. He found himself in love at first sight without even meeting her. 0 Correct Kamille gulped and cautiously tried to say hello to the other side, who also responded politely. If he wasn''t being handcuffed right now, he would have jumped up and down with excitement. He tried to empathize with the other party again recklessly, but perhaps too recklessly, this time he was rejected. 0 Correct Along the way, Kamille found himself getting closer and closer to the location of that NT, as if his destination was the location of the other party. Thinking about that, his heart couldn''t help but beat fast. Half an hour later, he entered a huge meeting room and recognized the owner of that gentle consciousness right away. 0 Correct It was a beautiful girl with long hair, ebullient, serene, and transcendent. The sudden happiness made him about to choke past. But in the next instant, he suddenly realized that there was a boy beside this girl, and she looked very close to him. Looking at that, Kamille''s heart almost broke. 0 Correct "Your Majesty Diana, Your Highness Loran, Mr. Chang, I am to blame for my poor education and for causing trouble to all of you." Char tugged Kamille to walk in front of everyone, pressed his head, and made him bow and apologize. Kamille bent down honestly as if he were a puppet on a string. 0 Correct Ade looked at Kamille''s dumb look and felt a little strange. He poked Kamille twice in the mind space, but the other party did not respond. Unfortunately, there was no time to pay attention to Kamille now, Loran, Char and Chang Wufei, as the representatives of the three forces, Ade was the only one who could link everyone together. His priority now is to explain clearly where Chang Wufei is coming from, so that the three parties can construct a relationship that they can trust each other. 0 Correct The representatives of the four parties sit in four directions at the round table. Char was sitting next to Amuro; Diana and Loran were sitting side by side, and behind them stood Ghingham and Harry; behind Chang Wufei stood Salamandinay; Ade had a headache about the seating on his side, but Ange had stood behind him before he opened his mouth, and C.C. and Lacus sat to his left and right respectively. 0 Correct Chang Wufei, Char and Loran looked at Ade meaningfully at the same time, and only Diana looked at Loran coldly and with an uncomfortable look on her face. 0 Correct "According to the doctor''s request, I rushed over as soon as I had everything arranged there, and I hope I''m not too late." Chang Wufei looked to Ade, Ade nodded, "There are no more worries over there, Garrod has been trained properly, and Nataku and I can die for you at any time." 0 Correct "Grandpa, take it easy, there''s no need for you to die for me, the most dangerous part of this operation will only be done by Amuro and me." Ade looked around the round table, "I''ll start with a detailed plan for everyone." 0 Correct The adults were having a meeting at this end of the room, and three children looked at each other at the other end of the room. 0 Correct "You, hello, my name is Kamille Bidan." Kamille looked at Tiffa nervously and stammered, "Please, please, what is your name?" 0 Correct "Her name is Tiffa." Garrod reflexively stopped in front of Tiffa and looked at him warily, "What do you want?" 0 Correct "Please, may I ask what is the relationship between you two?" Kamille asked tremulously, "Are you friends?" 0 Correct Kamille''s good sense couldn''t be more obvious, but Tiffa hadn''t been in this situation before and didn''t know what to do with it. She thought for a moment and pulled Ade, who she felt had the most experience, into the mind space chat room. 0 Correct "Tiffa?!" Ade continued to speak, restraining the urge to turn his head away. This was the first time Tiffa had reached out to him, so he couldn''t help but be taken aback. 0 Correct "Ade-san, I would like to ask you a question." Tiffa asked politely, "May I ask how to kindly refuse a kindness that is not needed?" 0 Correct Ade, combined with Kamille''s previous performance, immediately understood the situation. He responded in his heart, "Just tell the person ''you''re a good person''." 0 Correct Tiffa nodded slightly in understanding, took Garrod''s hand and smiled gently at him. This small gesture made Garrod blush and made Kamille''s heart ache. 0 Correct Tiffa walked up to Garrod, looked at Kamille, and said softly, "You''re a good person." 0 Correct Kamille was so pale and thunderstruck that he wandered off to the side, disoriented, and heard nothing more of what the girl said. Kamille Bidan''s little first love was over before it began, but no one had the energy to care about that in the face of the fate of two worlds, in the face of the course of history. 0 Correct Above the round table, Ade had finished recounting his plans. Loran and Chang Wufei asked some questions from time to time, and he and Char did the answering. Loran had even optimistically thought of inviting the survivors of the other Earth to immigrate to the Moon after everyone''s victory. Chang Wufei, a standard pragmatist, was interested in the proposal and said he would like to talk about it in detail afterward. 0 Correct Just as everyone was discussing the details, Ade suddenly went quiet, and at the same time behaved abnormally with Tiffa. The two said in unison, "There''s someone at the door!" 0 Correct As soon as the words were said, a knock sounded on the door. 0 Correct Everyone in the room was alerted, and Ange reflexively shielded Ade behind her. Diana winked at Harry, who gingerly felt his way to the door, putting one hand on the handle, holding the gun in the other hand. He gestured to everyone, then pulled the door open and pointed the gun between the eyebrows of the uninvited guest outside the door. 0 Correct "Long time no see, Yang." The Embryo outside the door nodded to Ade in greeting, "Won''t you invite me in?" CH 105 Chapter 105: This Is True Love0Correct This was the first time Ade had come face to face with Embryo, the last time his MS was dismantled by TurnX without even knowing what Embryo looked like. But he had heard Embryo''s voice, and would definitely not remember wrong.0Correct "Embryo¡­!" Chang Wufei was shaking with rage, and as the only person present who had seen the other side, he recognized the enemy at first glance, "Doctor, I''m sorry, I can''t stand it anymore!"0Correct Chang Wufei rushed forward, bypassing Harry in his astonished gaze, and his claws pointed straight to Embryo''s throat. Embryo raised his hand in a knife-shape and precisely cut to Chang Wufei''s wrist, then Chang Wufei instantly changed his claws into elbows to hit Embryo''s heart. The two men attacked each other at lightning speed, then only to see Chang Wufei somehow suddenly fly backward several meters and fall heavily to the ground, and Embryo slowly put down his right foot just raised.0Correct "This is ¡­" Embryo while making a meditative appearance, while walking into the parlor as if nothing had happened, ignoring Harry''s pistol, "Is it Chang Wufei? You are already so old, I did not recognize you."0Correct "Hey, hey, hey, aren''t you a researcher?" Ade looked at Salamandinay, who ran to pick up Chang Wufei, and then looked at Embryo, "What kind of researcher can have such a strong fighting skill? We don''t have traitors like you in our fellows."0Correct "It''s a necessity, Yang." Embryo walked straight to Ade, in Ange''s wary gaze, he took a chair for himself, facing Ade, and sat down, "After the last time I was beaten by Treize, I practiced intensely for decades, and now I''m finally barely able to defend myself."0Correct "You''re not qualified to call the chief by his name!" Chang Wufei stood up with the help of Salamandinay, "Doctor, Your Majesty Diana, this man is Embryo, shoot him on the spot!"0Correct Harry looked enquiringly at Diana and Loran, and the couple looked back at Ade.0Correct "You can certainly shoot me on the spot." Embryo smiled faintly at Ade, "TurnX is just outside the man-made canopy of the moon, and the unleashing of Moonlight Butterfly is only at my whim. Whether to endure a moment or bet that I dare not die together with everyone here, Yang, you choose."0Correct Ade shook his head at Diana, and Diana understood it. Chang Wufei shook off Salamandinay''s hold and pounded the wall with hatred.0Correct "Are you all here to quietly discuss what to do with me? It seems I''ve come just in time. But I''d like to talk to Yang alone first, so could I ask you all to step outside to avoid suspicion?"0Correct "This obsession, this power of action." Ade sighed silently in his heart, "It''s true love."0Correct "Doctor!" Chang Wufei walked excitedly to Ade''s side, "This man cherishes his life very much, he definitely dares not to die together with us. Finish him off right here, there''s no better chance!"0Correct However, only Ade knew Embryo was really able to do such a thing as total annihilation of the moon, he did not care about this body. If they attack him, there will be no survivors left in the crowd here. Ade took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Please go out for a while."0Correct Lacus and C.C. looked at him with shocked eyes, and everyone else had the same puzzled look on their faces.0Correct "Doctor!" Chang Wufei grabbed at Ade''s shoulder and was stopped by Ange, "What are you thinking? Are you crazy?"0Correct Amuro also asked anxiously in his consciousness, "Adrien, what the hell are you doing? I don''t understand it."0Correct Ade shook his head without explanation; Amuro could not hide secrets on his face. Embryo had been acting since he came in, and Ade himself had to act as if he didn''t know the other person was acting.0Correct With so many people here, Ade helplessly found that the only one he could trust was Char. At this time, Char sitting in the shadows, as if just a passer-by, listening to Ade''s explanation in the mind space and his face did not have the slightest change in expression.0Correct "The rest is relying on you, Char." Ade who finished his explanation finally said, "Deceive everyone, execute plan B."0Correct "Do you know how difficult this is, Lingus?" Char responded, "It''s easy to deceive other people here, but you know better than I what a concept it is to deceive your women and these NTs, including Amuro."0Correct "You are Char Aznable, I believe you can do it, and only you can do it." Ade now finally understands Char''s sense of recognition to him. This is a non-identity emotion. "Count me owe you a big favor, after we success, I will say more good words for you to Mineva."0Correct "I can see your sincerity, deal." Char replied with a smile, "Don''t die, Mineva will be sad."0Correct One by one, including Char, everyone left the room. Ade gave Lacus and C.C. an "I have everything under control" look, which C.C. did not understand, but Lacus did.0Correct "Angelise, please stay." Embryo smiled ambiguously at Ade, "Yang, there''s a surprise for you."0Correct "Ade, I''ll protect you." Ange grunted coldly and stood beside Ade, holding his hand, staring at Embryo with a deadly stare, "This pervert definitely does not have good intentions for you!"0Correct Soon, there were only three people left in the room. Embryo suddenly fished out a vintage pistol decorated with beautiful patterns from nowhere. Ange reflexively shielded Ade behind, but Embryo did not pay attention to them, but raised his hand to the cameras on the ceiling with a few shots, and then put the pistol back.0Correct Ade acted as if he knew that the other party would not attack him, from the beginning to the end, he didn''t show any surprise on his face.0Correct "Don''t be nervous, Yang, I don''t mean to hurt you." Embryo showed an apologetic expression to Ade, "I was too impulsive before, couldn''t wait to experience what I missed before, and didn''t cherish the fate that we could not easily reunite."0Correct "I appreciate your good intentions." Ade squeezed Ange''s hand and pulled her to his side, "But as you can see, I already have someone."0Correct "Is this pervert ¡­" Ange said and blushed, "a faggot?!"0Correct "But Yang, your taste of women is declining badly." Embryo relaxed as if chatting with an old friend, shook his head regretfully, "Put that politician who has been using you aside, the other woman is an old witch who has lived for¡­ who knows how many years. You don''t even know how many people she had slept with. How can she be worthy of you, Yang?"0Correct "I''m the first." Ade said squarely, "C.C. only did it with me."0Correct "Do you believe in such nonsense?" Embryo laughed lightly, "Yang, where did your intelligence go? How long has she been alive? How could it be the first time? How in the world can it be such a coincidence again?"0Correct "I''m the protagonist, and she''s the heroine, why is it impossible?" Ade helplessly put both hands together, "Sometimes, things are just so coincidental."0Correct "Unbelievable." Embryo turned to Ange, "So, let''s talk to a different person, you and Angelise must have done it already?"0Correct "Yeah, done that." Ade nodded, "I have a 20,000-word text here, do you want to read it?"0Correct "Ade!" Ange blushed in shame and stomped her foot in anger, "What are you talking about!"0Correct "You have such excellent genes, but you still haven''t reacted to what I want. This IQ, what''s wrong with it?" Embryo then showed Ade an impish smile, "Yang, just now I promised to give you a surprise, I am now going to tell you the secret of Angelise''s birth. Ah ah, I have waited for this moment for a long time, I wonder how you make a response?"0Correct Ange finally reacted to what Embryo wanted to say at this point, and her face instantly turned pale. She froze in place, not knowing whether to plug Ade''s ears or to rush up to stop Embryo. Fear and bewilderment intertwined, she trembled and let go of the hand that was holding Ade tightly, held her head and closed her eyes, and shouted, "Don''t you say anything!"0Correct "You''ve been tangled up for the relationship with Hoshino Ruri until your death, and now that you''ve actually done such a thing unintentionally, I wonder what kind of bitter struggle you''ll have?" Embryo stared hard into Ade''s eyes and excitedly said in a loud voice, "Please let me have the honor to announce that Angelise, who has done it with you, is-"0Correct "I beg you not to say that!" Ange hissed desperately, tears seeping from her eyes.0Correct "--is your daughter!"0Correct "Oh." Ade''s face was expressionless.0Correct Embryo stood up and froze on the spot, looking at Ade incredulously, "Oh? Oh? Oh? Is that the end of it? Is that all you have to say?"0Correct "What else? Do you think you''re in a Korean drama?" Ade yanked Ange to make her sit on his lap, broke the hands of the young girl covering her head, looked at her red eyes and said heartily, "What are you crying for? It''s not like I won''t like you anymore."0Correct "She is your daughter!" Embryo yelled, "Yang! You''ve done it with your daughter!"0Correct "He, he''s right." Ange looked at him sadly and whimpered, "I''m, I''m¡­"0Correct "I remember explaining it to you so many times." Ade reached out to wipe the young girl''s tears, "No matter who or what you are, to me, you are just Friday."0Correct "Ange! Not Friday!" The young girl finally broke into tears after saying these words.0Correct The smile that suddenly bloomed on the tear-stained girl''s face looked like a begonia after a fresh rain, which made Ade''s heart jump and he kissed her with emotion. Ange felt Ade''s gentle action, only to feel his heart melting, hugging him and responding fiercely, couldn''t wait to rub herself into his body.0Correct "Yang Wen-li!" Embryo continued to roar, "That''s not how it works! That''s not how the script works! You''re supposed to be in great pain and guilt right now! How can you continue to shamelessly do such things with her!"0Correct Ade fondly left Ange''s lips, a crystalline silk line pulled between them. Miss Friday, whose eyes were full of love, subconsciously sucked the silk thread into her mouth, murmuring his name "Ade", "Ade", and only after a while did she realize that there was someone else next to her, and her small face turned red instantly.0Correct "She is just a remnant born from my work!" Embryo waved his arm without grace and snapped his fingers hard, "Yang Wen-li, see her for what she really is! That''s what you''re looking at!"0Correct Ange suddenly spasmed, and then showed a pained expression. Ade just touched her lightly and she let out an unbearable scream.0Correct "Ade, I''m sorry, I ¡­" Ange struggled to speak, "it hurts so much¡­ "0Correct "It''s okay, it doesn''t hurt." Ade gently stroked the young girl''s soft blonde hair, "You are Yang Wen-li''s daughter, a pure and unpolluted Friday, not some kind of defective artificial human."0Correct He soothed the young girl with his spiritual power, and no one noticed the blood-red bird-like pattern flicker in his eyes. It was as if Ange had suddenly been cut off from Embryo, and the painful sensation completely disappeared. The young girl panted heavily, her body already sweating through.0Correct "It''s a good thing you''re not wearing white clothes." Ade hugged her heartily, "Otherwise, I would have suffered."0Correct "Rascal." Ange snuggled helplessly in his arms, calling his name, "Ade, Ade, Ade~"0Correct "What''s going on?" Embryo snapped his fingers again hard, yet there was no response, he kept snapping his fingers, "What''s going on? What''s going on?"0Correct "Experimental accident, you don''t have much data of hybrid, do you?" Ade shrugged, wiping Ange''s sweat on the neck, the girl felt itchy and shrunk her body, "In fact, when you beat Chang Wufei and took the gun to hit the cameras, you still looked like a big boss, but when coming to talk about my previous life, your personal image is completely broken. Look at your current appearance, how ugly? It''s a shame that I lost to you in my previous life."0Correct Hearing this speech, Embryo suddenly calms down. He elegantly sat back in his seat, calmly looking at Ade and Ange, and whispered, "Yes, you often say whether it is the BOSS or the protagonist, we should be posh. I was too impulsive. Thank you for reminding me."0Correct "Let''s stop this nonsense and get down to business." Ade patted Ange on the back and gestured for her to stand up, "Say, what business did you come to see me about? If you want to kill me, you can directly start Moonlight Butterfly outside, there is no need to make such a fuss."0Correct "I said it before, didn''t I? I cherish the fate of reuniting with you." Embryo gestured, "I''ve thought about it properly, since you''ve started over, we might as well try to start over. I hereby formally invite you to have a visit to my home, what do you think?"0Correct "Ade!" Ange grabbed his hand nervously, "Don''t say yes to him!"0Correct "If you refuse, it''s over, there''s nothing to say. Your lovely TurnX is right outside, let''s go straight to war, you can bet if Angelise is quick enough to move." Embryo stretched out a hand in a "please" gesture, "Yang, you choose."0Correct "What''s the point of choosing? I''ve wanted to go to your home for a long time!" Ade smiled at him, "Shall we go now?"0Correct "Ade!" Ange grabbed him and looked like she was about to cry, "I forbid you to go!"0Correct "Friday, trust me." He touched the young girl''s face and placed a soft kiss on her lips, "Be good and wait for me to come back."0Correct "Your calmness, your defiance. Yang, you really are still the same you." Embryo showed a pleased smile and snapped his fingers, and the other end of the room was suddenly broken by an explosion, "It''s not too late, shall we go?"0Correct Appearing in the explosion gap was one of the cockpits of TurnX''s nine parts. The hatch opened and Embryo slowly entered it, waving to Ade.0Correct Ade finally hugged Ange hard and whispered something in her ear, and Ange nodded with her eyes red and her face blushed. After doing this, Ade followed Embryo into the cockpit of TurnX without looking back.0Correct "This is something you made, as usual, you must have left some back door or egg that only you know about." TurnX''s hatch closed and slowly flew away from the building, the nine parts merging into one under Embryo''s control, "But considering your ability to execute, I advise you not to act rashly, lest I do something irrational."0Correct "I''m not stupid." Ade observed TurnX''s cockpit, "How do we get back?"0Correct "How did I get here?" Embryo asked rhetorically.0Correct "¡­ boson jump, of course." Ade immediately responded, "The MS from the end of time, of course it would have boson jumps, it would be unscientific not to have this function. So, this unscientific MS is powered by Chulip crystal? That Chulip crystal is able to interfere with the bosons because the internal energy density is too high? In that case ¡­ Oh, so it is."0Correct "Your whimsy, your citing, how familiar it feels, the same as when we were in Mithril''s institute back then." Embryo glowered for a fraction of a second, "Yang, we''re here."0Correct The cockpit door opened and what met Ade''s eyes was the Misurugi palace, which he had seen once before from afar, and TurnX landed on some huge platform that resembled a tarmac. Ade jumped to the ground, and then Embryo jumped down as well. He followed Embryo into the interior of the palace, looking around with curiosity.0Correct "Is this the place where Ange grew up? So she''s really a princess." He silently murmured in his heart, "Her identity is even higher than Lacus."0Correct Embryo took him to a luxuriously decorated bedroom, "Yang, from now on, this is your room. It is very late today, so you should rest. I will take you to meet an old friend in the morning."0Correct Ade surveyed the room, pulled open various cabinets and drawers to look around, surprisingly found that there were a lot of clothes of the right size of his body. He can not help but have a chill.0Correct "Yang, you never know how to take care of yourself. A man living alone is inconvenient, so I also prepared you an exclusive maid. From now on, she will take care of your living." Embry beat a finger and a lovely maid entered with dull eyes, "Momoka, meet your new master."0Correct PS: If you like this novel, please give this novel a vote on Novel Updates. 0Correct _(:¡¹¡Ï)_ and if possible, please help me explain I didn''t translate the MC''s name wrong. His name is Adrien Lingus, and his nickname is Ade, I didn''t translate the MC''s name into two different names. CH 106 Chapter 106: Origin0Correct At twelve o''clock at midnight, Dr. Lingus sat on the bed unclothed, pulling up a thin blanket to cover his body, breathing in small gasps. Miss Momoka sat on her knees at the other end of the bed, equally unclothed, with a guilty look on her face, apologizing over and over.0Correct "Ade-san, I''m really very sorry!" Momoka buried her head into the bed, "I actually did this kind of thing to Angelise-sama''s beloved, I can only die for my sin!"0Correct "Forget about it, I know you were controlled and didn''t do it on purpose." Ade calmly waved his hand, "Don''t worry, I won''t tell Ange it."0Correct "You are so magnanimous! Worthy of being the male that Her Highness Angelise likes!" The maid''s eyes were teary, "Momoka has nothing to repay, so Momoka''ll be at your disposal in the future!"0Correct "Suddenly back to this level of intellectual communication, it feels so kind! I will not be stabbed even if I have a harem here, right?" Ade mumbled, "but I have obviously had a good workout recently, the maid lady''s vigor is a little too high."0Correct "In order to protect Her Highness Angelise, as the chief maid, I must be strong!"0Correct "Hmm, you heard that? Never mind, it doesn''t matter." Ade then threw that question away, "Well, Miss Momoka¡­"0Correct "Just call me Momoka, please!"0Correct "Okay, Momoka. Since this has happened, I think you should compensate me appropriately." Ade deliberated on the words, "I recently learned a new skill, and I''m suffering from the lack of someone to practice the skill with, can you cooperate with me?"0Correct "Is it an experiment like last time?" The maid lady tilted her head, "No problem, please do whatever you need to me!"0Correct After that, Ade and Momoka stayed up all night.0Correct He now had a rough guess about his Geass ability, but the experimental sample was too small to be completely sure. Rather, Ade had probably understood why he had the Guess. In the ICU, when his consciousness was in a mass, he saw Yang Wen-li in a trance. At that time, he really understood his longing.0Correct When it was just after dawn, he stopped the Geass. after a while, Momoka was clearly under control again. Then Embryo appeared and invited him to breakfast.0Correct "Yang, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?" Embryo gestured with his eyes to Momoka, who was standing behind Ade, "Unlike the old witch who has passed her shelf life, she is a fresh and original Mana''s Folk, and I can already make this kind of high-quality creature at will. I can get as many as you want, there is no need to like inferior creatures like the Norma, politician, and old witch."0Correct "Although you will be disliked to death by girls for such objectifying female remarks, I am satisfied with her." Ade nodded approvingly to the maid, "I had a very good time last night."0Correct "That''s very nice of you to understand that!" Embryo looked slightly excited, "Do you remember the vision of the perfect creature you once described to me? Having both an angel-like life force and an ego strong enough to produce an AT field, and a NewType-like ability to communicate and understand with others. It''s incredible that you presumed the existence of angel and NT under those circumstances just by understanding the world itself!"0Correct "Brainstorming worldview?" Ade was enlightened, "Indeed it is something I would do."0Correct "The People of Mana is what I made according to your vision, but it''s not perfect enough, there will be defective products like Norma, and the performance is nowhere near as good as NT and angel." Embryo said as if he was showing off his research results, "It''s okay, I''ve seen the real NT and angel now, and these People of Mana can be discarded. Yang, with your help, we can definitely create a truly perfect race!"0Correct "But what about this one I''m so fond of?" Ade pointed at Momoka, "It''s a pity to discard her."0Correct "Then keep it, it''s just a toy, it''s rare that you like my work." The recognition Ade showed to Momoka made Embryo very happy, "By the way, let me take you to meet your late friend."0Correct Then Ade was led by Embryo to the huge pillar he remembered. They went underground through some hidden entrance until a huge transparent pillar appeared in front of them. Ade estimated the orientation from memory, and this should be directly below the giant pillar on the ground.0Correct The most shocking thing was that there was a huge dragon-shaped creature inside the transparent pillar.0Correct "Please let me make a grand introduction, Yang." Embryo pointed at the dragon-shaped creature and said in a loud voice, "This is your old friend--"0Correct "Doctor, is that you?" A female voice rang out inside Ade''s head, "Are you still alive? Please don''t give up hope, I haven''t given up either."0Correct "Relena." Ade whispered, "She''s the first to turn into a dragon?"0Correct "Yes, changing into the form of an unknown being at the expense of herself for the future of all the survivors is so beautiful, it''s almost like Madonna!" Embryo enthralled looking at the dragon, no, Relena, "I also thought of capturing noblewomen to satisfy my bad taste, but the reunion with you has awakened me, what is the point of such a boring thing? This is what we are after!"0Correct "What are you after? Relena''s changed life form?"0Correct "Yang, you must understand it." Embryo gazed warmly at Ade, "Come, let me see your keen insight into the worldview! This is something that took me decades to understand, but in your case, you should be able to understand it with just one look! You''re not like me who relies on cheating, you''re the one with real talent!"0Correct Ade ignored the look in his eyes and concentrated on reasoning, "The essence of the technique is to absorb Chulip Crystal radiation crystallized inside, Relena became so big¡­ is it because of the excessive amount of crystal in her body? You said that this is what we are after, and the excess of crystal content changes the life form, so ¡­"0Correct Embryo''s eyes grew hotter and hotter.0Correct "If Chulip Crystal''s density is too high, it will become something similar to the fruit of life. Relena transformed to be an angel?"0Correct "I knew it! You are Yang, you are Miracle Yang!" Embryo was so happy as if he was taking drugs, "You figured out my decades of research just by looking at it, just by the words I said, you are the real Yang!"0Correct "So Mana''s communication network also relies on Relena? The reason you can block satellite signals is also because of her?" Ade immediately understood, "You''re planning to reset the world anyway, why don''t you just let Relena out?"0Correct "No, not yet." Embryo lamentably refused, "This world is very dangerous, there are a dozen angels looking for me, without this thing to shield my existence, I will be immediately exposed to them. After I have killed all these angels, I will return Relena to you, and then we will create New Type together and rebuild the new world!"0Correct Ade did not immediately agree or refuse, which would either not fit Yang Wen-li''s persona or his purpose. He just stared out at the dragon in the transparent pillar and responded in his consciousness, "Relena, it''s almost time, you''ll be free soon."0Correct The next few days, Ade began to obtain Embryo''s good feeling during the day, and do experiments with the maid lady at night, occasionally going to chat with Relena.0Correct Although he said he wanted to obtain Embryo''s good feeling, in fact, there was nothing to do. Embryo''s good feelings toward Yang Wen-li already reached the maximum, Embryo is more like a twisted fanatic fan who hated the star he likes because of unable to obtain the star''s love. As Ade made nice to him, Embryo''s heart instead fell deeper and deeper.0Correct One moonlit night, the two visited Relena together again, with Momoka silently followed behind Ade. Embryo was reminiscing with Ade about the happy days at the institute.0Correct "Embryo, I want to hear the story before you met me." Ade walked over to Dawn''s Royal Pillar and placed her hand on the pillar wall, turning his head to look at him, "How did you get along in a world without me?"0Correct "You''ve sensed that?" Embryo didn''t look surprised at all, "That''s right, it only seems strange that you didn''t perceive it with your intelligence."0Correct "Can you tell me about it?"0Correct "¡­ I was originally just an ordinary researcher at Mithril, in charge of researching an unknown mineral." Embryo narrated, "Amalgam was the one who manipulated OZ, and Mithril secretly drove the satellite forces against it. Treize went undercover into OZ, but he himself alone cannot fight the great power, and he was eventually expelled from OZ."0Correct "There was no Gundam?"0Correct "There was no Gundam, that was your masterpiece." Embryo gave him a slight smile, "There were wars between Earth and the satellite force for several years, which ended with the defeat of the satellite force. But the peace lasted only a few years before civil war broke out on Earth and the global population plummeted in fratricide. I, as a small researcher, could only watch and do nothing in silence."0Correct "War, only the war never changes." Ade empathized, "It''s always the same no matter which world it is."1Correct "Before Earth could be unified again, the Jovians started another war. Earth lost and signed all kinds of unequal treaties." Embryo sneered, "but they did not admit defeat, and repeatedly went to war with the Jovians for twenty years, the entire universe was littered with corpses and the wreckage of warships, and relying on human lives and resources, Earth obtained the final tragic victory. After the war, I was already the director of the Institute as one of the few survivors, and that''s when I learned that the Chulip crystal that had just been unearthed on Mars was the mineral I had been studying."0Correct "And then there was an experimental accident." As a professional transmigrator, Ade dared to pass judgment.0Correct "That''s right, and then there was an experimental accident." Embryo repeated, "I brought a large number of crystals back to Earth and conducted various studies on this magical substance in Mithril. The experiments lasted for years, and I finally figured out where the tremendous energy contained in Chulip Crystal came from; it was somehow connected internally to an imaginary space of pure energy."0Correct "Dirac Sea," Ade murmured in his mind.0Correct "Disappointment with the human world and curiosity about the unknown drove me to explore bravely, and I inadvertently detonated the crystal during one of my experiments. But I did not die on the spot, and my soul, or my consciousness, entered the Void Space. When I came back to my senses, I found myself at the scene of some experimental accident thirty-five years ago."0Correct "Crap, reborn?" Ade couldn''t help but exclaim, "You''re the main character, right?"0Correct "That''s what I thought." Embryo nodded, "I was surprised to find that I remembered everything thirty-five years later, but I wasn''t sure if I had seen the future or if I had been replaced by the future me. I chose the latter. Yang, what would you have chosen if it were you?"0Correct "I would probably choose the former."0Correct "So." Embryo was thoughtfully silent for a short while and continued, "In addition to me, there are also some babies who came out at the same time were also affected and could hear the voices thirty-five years later, this is the Black Technology you are talking about."0Correct "The Black Technology is actually caused by you ¡­"0Correct "Due to these Whispered, the world has become more chaotic. I tried to use my knowledge to correct the trajectory of history, but the effect was minimal, and everything still ran wildly towards war and death." Embryo bowed his head, "At the end of the day, I was desperate to replicate that explosion exactly, and was lucky enough to start from scratch again."0Correct "And then the infinite loop ¡­" A common trope, Ade guessed it right away, "How many times in total so far?"0Correct "I haven''t counted, probably thousands of years." Embryo showed a painful look, "I have accumulated various techniques, tried countless methods, still can not stop the war. Each time, the end is more or less the same. Finally, I realized that it was not me who was at fault, but the world. So I decided to destroy these ugly and inferior creatures and create beautiful creatures that will never start wars."0Correct "Don''t forget, you''re human too." Ade thought silently, "You''re already broken."0Correct "I finally designed a boson jumping device, and mastered the artificial man technology, and made up my mind that this is the last time I will start over. When I return to the past, I will immediately start working on creating PMs and destroying the world." Embryo gazed at Ade, "When I came out of the Void Space this time, you followed me out."0Correct "I came out from Dirac Sea?" Ade was taken aback, "Wait, you knew from the beginning that I was from outside?"0Correct "Yes. This unexpected development delighted me who was bored with the world." A smile appeared again on Embryo''s face, "I have been silently observing the trajectory of your life, and everything has been too surprising for me. The height of your vision, the way you think, is different from those inferior creatures. You are the real human! As soon as you entered Mithril, I couldn''t wait to find you, all your whims impacted my three views, enlightened my wisdom, I felt that my thousand years life was simply wasting time!"0Correct "So you want to create a new world with me?"0Correct "That''s right, those old-world wastes who have fought each other for thousands of years are not qualified to drag you down, the New Type and the new society you mentioned are our future!" The more Embryo said, the more excited he became, "I made two PMs, just for you and me respectively. Although you took one for yourself, it''s okay, you gave back TurnX to me. We are even."0Correct "More than even," Ade secretly complained in his heart, "It''s almost like an exchange of tokens of affection."0Correct "Yang, I''m running out of back roads, and there''s no guarantee I''ll be able to do it again this time." Embryo stared at him nervously, "Last time, you rejected me mercilessly, but this time, you already know the cause and effect. I''ll ask you again, will you come with me?"0Correct Ade wanted to say, "I''m sorry, you''re not a good person." But that would be a breakdown, so he closed his mouth and pretended to be thinking.0Correct "So that''s how it is after all." Embryo sensed something keenly and shook his head sadly, "You will still betray me in the end, I have said so much to you, but it''s just a waste of effort. Would you rather choose those inferior creatures than choosing to create a new world with me? All these days together, were you just acting in front of me?"0Correct Ade did not answer, but used Relena as a signal amplifier to talk to the people in the sky, "Hey, Tiffa, are you there? I can''t talk anymore, hasn''t Char done anything yet?"0Correct "Hello, Mr. Ade." Tiffa replied politely, " Garrod and I are in position, may I ask who Mr. Char is?"0Correct "Sorry, I''m saying Quattro."0Correct "Mr. Quattro is already in motion."0Correct "The target is at my current location, you guide Garrod over. There is a huge pillar on the ground, you can barely spot it at that height, just knock out the part on the surface, wait for my signal later."0Correct "Garrod is a little nervous." Tiffa responded, "But I trust him, no problem."0Correct "Is it in your calculations that an unwanted guest has arrived at my door?" Facing the Ade who had been silent for a long time, Embryo suddenly spoke, "But in front of absolute power, conspiracy and trickery are meaningless. I''ll go and deal with it, we''ll talk about our business when I return. It seems that I was too gentle with you, I should have used some fierce tactics at the beginning, so that you wouldn''t have spare energy to remember those monkeys."1Correct He snapped his fingers and Momoka quickly clipped one of Ade''s hands behind his back, and Ade could only scream "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch". Embryo nodded in satisfaction and left the underground with stride, leaving only Ade and Momoka in the place.0Correct After Embryo disappeared, Ade also snapped his fingers in a pretentious manner, and Miss maid released him in response and apologized desperately as soon as she regained her freedom.0Correct "No wonder he keeps snapping his fingers, it does look cool." Ade sighed, "Momoka, don''t apologize, let''s hurry up and leave as fast as we can."0Correct "Fastest speed?" The maid lady froze in thought for a moment, "Ade-san, I''m sorry!"0Correct After saying that, she picked up Ade with incredible speed and ran towards the exit of the ground.0Correct At this time, the DX was floating silently in the night sky that was out of reach of the naked eye.0Correct "Such a distance and such a small target, I lack confidence." Garrod scratched his head in embarrassment, "Doctor said that the main target is a much smaller one, meaning that there is only this one chance to practice?"0Correct Tiffa did not say anything, just quietly stared at him, but this alone seemed to give him endless courage. The last clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a bright moon behind the clouds.0Correct "The moon is finally out ¡­" Tiffa looked up at the sky and held Garrod''s hand, "Garrod, I lend you the power." CH 107 Chapter 107: The Other Side of the Rainbow0Correct Behind DX Gundam and on its legs, a number of golden wings spread out to each side, and the two huge cannon tubes that were originally on its back were set up on its shoulders. A slim, bright light stretched from above the moon to DX''s chest, and the small golden wings glowed in the night sky as if they were filled with energy from a distant satellite.0Correct "This is the trump card left by the Doctor, can I really use it?" Garrod''s palms were slightly sweaty, "We have only two chances, there are many pilots stronger than me, right? Why is it me?"0Correct "Only you can." Tiffa gazed into his eyes, her tone was calm and firm, "Garrod, I only trust you."0Correct "Since Tiffa has said so, there''s nothing else I can choose." Garrod giggled, took a deep breath and gently pulled the trigger, "The doctor is also willing to trust me, I will do it."0Correct Tiffa took his other free hand and closed her eyes. Knowing full well that the person next to her was not NT, she still tried to share the location she felt with him, "Garrod, over here."0Correct Garrod was clearly not NT, yet he seemed to see a target in the underworld that was not even visible to the naked eye. He slightly corrected his aim based on something he didn''t know whether it was intuition or delusion, and a confidence that came from nowhere rose up in his heart, "Tiffa, I see it."0Correct The next second, a thick beam of light spanned the two ends of the canopy, tearing apart to illuminate the entire starry sky and finally hitting the ground with a heavy, deafening thud. The upper half of the Dawn''s Royal Pillar disappeared completely in the beam, and a huge and beautiful dragon-like creature rushed out of the crumbling pillar on wings into the clouds, its crisp cries resounding in the night sky.0Correct "It worked in one go¡­" Garrod gaped in disbelief for a moment, then hugged the girl beside him excitedly, "Tiffa, Tiffa, we did it! "0Correct Tiffa blushed slightly with a smile on her face and called out in her consciousness to the NT on Iserlohn not far away, "Mr. Amuro, it worked."0Correct "Tiffa and Garrod made it." Amuro, who was sitting in the cockpit on standby, said with a smile to the bridge, "The youngsters nowadays are really something, I can''t lose to them either!"0Correct "Amuro, it''s really better for me to strike as well." Char felt quite uncomfortable standing on the bridge, "With Sinanju''s excellent performance and my driving skill¡­"0Correct "The dealings with Britannia can only be done by you, the battlefield is not the place for you to use your talents." Amuro paused for a moment, "Also, don''t hold me back with your poor driving skill."0Correct "Amuro!"0Correct "It was Adrien who first said that, you can complain to him." Amuro ignored Char again and cut the communication to the other MS on standby next to him, "Miss Ange, is it really okay? This is Gundam, it''s not something that can be operated just by looking at the manual in a temporary manner."0Correct "No problem, Ade all complimented me on how smart I am." Ange was doing a final self-check on the manual, "It''s just a delivery, it''s not like I need to do any complicated operation."0Correct "Then I''ll go ahead. Please say hello to him for me." Amuro found himself nervous for a rare brief moment, and couldn''t help but laugh dumbly, "Amuro Ray, F91¡¤Remodeled, strike!"0Correct Watching Amuro disappear from the ejection tunnel, Ange also put the manual away and shouted at the screen, "Alice, let''s stop fighting for now and wait until Ade is rescued."0Correct "If I had not become a music player, I simply do not need you." Alice appeared on the screen with an unhappy face, "This is only a temporary partnership with you until Ade comes back, Alice does not like you at all."0Correct "It doesn''t matter if you like me or not, there are so many people in the world, I can''t make everyone like me." Ange ignored Alice, fastened her seatbelt, and maneuvered the MS up to the ejection position, "It''s all for Ade, Ange, Unicorn Gundam, move out!"0Correct The white unicorn left the battleship and made a free-fall motion towards the ground. Ange turned on the thrusters and accelerated horizontally with full force in the direction of the Dawn''s Royal Pillar. The acceleration, which was much greater than the PM, made her feel a little uncomfortable at first, but after only ten seconds, her body became familiar with the feeling.0Correct "It''s pretty simple, not much more complicated than Villkiss." She controlled Unicorn Gundam to do a few difficult maneuvers in the air, "That one called Amuro is too exaggerated, I''m so smart, it''s really enough to only read the manual."0Correct "No, we won''t have the manual of Unicorn at all, right?!" Alice suddenly shouted, "What the hell are you reading?"0Correct "How is it possible? I found it in Ade''s room. Look, how smoothly I''m operating this, no problem at all." Ange thought for a moment and fished out the manual from the compartment at hand and looked at the cover, "The Operating Instructions of RX-78-2 Gundam, oh, it''s also Gundam, pretty much."0Correct "¡­"0Correct "You are just an AI, what are you dwelling on this for?" Ange said impatiently, "Finding Ade is the most important thing, right?"0Correct Alice looked at Ange expressionlessly and spoke after a moment of silence, "From the analysis of the data, you and Miss Lacus and C.C. Miss are not the same, instead, you and I are somewhat similar."0Correct "Because although they like Ade, they all think of themselves first." Ange replied without thinking, "Only I would be stupid enough to put him ahead of everything, maybe you too?"0Correct "Miss Ange, this world is big for you, there is the entire universe." Alice suddenly said this for some reason, her voice was a little sad, "But for Alice, Ade is the whole world."0Correct "I''m not as exaggerated as you are, I also have my own life and hobbies." Ange thought carefully for a moment, "He''s at most eighty percent, well no, eighty-five? That''s pretty much it anyway, I can''t do the math."0Correct "¡­ Temporary truce." Alice''s image disappeared from the screen, "Focus on driving Gundam, don''t chat with me."0Correct "Obviously you are the first to chat with me, okay? That''s ridiculous." Ange complained a few sentences and found Alice ignored her, she felt bored and shut his mouth. Not long later, a familiar scenery entered her version, "I did not expect to return here again, but unfortunately, there is nothing left for me."0Correct Unicorn Gundam turned on the floating system and gradually lowered its speed near the ground, eventually maintaining a low altitude speeding state. Ange stared intently at the ground, looking for a target, "If Ade is shouting ''Ange, help me!'' at this moment, and I appear in front of him all of a sudden, isn''t it super cool?"0Correct "We shouldn''t have been chosen you, except for daydreaming, you are useless at all." Alice''s voice was very dissatisfied, "Even Mineva is more useful than you. If it''s an NT, we have long found Ade."0Correct "Found Ade!"0Correct "¡­"0Correct Unicorn landed smoothly on the ground. Ange jumped to the ground and rushed to Ade and hugged him hard, and they kissed each other as if no one was watching. It didn''t take long for Ade to release her of his own accord, and Ange then greeted the long-awaited maid.0Correct "Your Highness Angelise!" Momoka''s eyes were teary with excitement, "It''s so good to see you again!"0Correct Ange hugged her maid in surprise, "Aren''t you in Arsenal? How come you''re with Ade? That perverted faggot didn''t do anything to you, did he? Ade didn''t do anything to you, did he?"0Correct "Ade-san, he-"0Correct "There''s no time for chatting now!" Ade, who had already entered the cockpit, waved to the two, "I''ll send you back first, then have to go to Amuro right away."0Correct Ang and Momoka looked at each other with a smile, then entered the cockpit without hesitation.0Correct "Ade." Alice appeared on the screen with an unhappy look on her face, "The fourth person."0Correct "Don''t count Momoka in!"0Correct "Why shouldn''t Momoka be counted?" Ange subconsciously retorted, even though she had no idea what they were talking about, "Ade, as much as I like you, Momoka is also a very important person to me, you need to pay attention to it!"0Correct Ade sighed, "If I really die someday, it must be because of the FLAGs you made for me."0Correct On the other hand, the territorial waters of Misurugi.0Correct Suzaku Kururugi was driving his recently repaired Lancelot Gundam Mk-II, and a small fleet was following behind him. Recently, there had been a lot of sarcastic nicknames for him in the Britannia army, such as "Intentional Feeding Master" and "ACE Goalkeeper", which made him very uncomfortable. This time, he was determined to prove his strength and not to bring shame to Princess Euphemia.0Correct Earlier, Kururugi was rescued by a blond man with a mask. This man called himself Full Frontal, an underground worker who aspired to the national liberation movement around the world. He expressed his appreciation for Kururugi''s great sacrifice to save his country, and he was deeply touched and benefited from a long talk with Kururugi.0Correct Then Mr. Frontal asked Kururugi to introduce him to Princess Euphemia, and Kururugi readily agreed. This action was guaranteed by Frontal with all his credibility. As for how did he convince Euphemia and Coneria, Kururugi had no idea.0Correct As expected, the unknown black Gundam did not appear. But Kururugi did not let his guard down, and he kept himself in the best condition to strike at any moment. His vigilance was correct, and the next instant, a strangely shaped MS appeared in front of him.0Correct "It doesn''t seem to be a Gundam?" Kururugi made that judgment based on the MS''s appearance, "Then there''s nothing to fear."0Correct While Kururugi said that, Lancelot unfolded its beam saber and rushed up. A dozen seconds later, the crippled Lancelot was salvaged by his teammates, and Kururugi returned towards the flagship at the tail end of the fleet.0Correct "Again, this pointless crap stuff." Embryo grunted impatiently, "No time to waste on you monkeys, Yang is still waiting for me."0Correct "Notice to the entire Britannia army." A voice suddenly sounded on the public channel, "That MS is equipped with Moonlight Butterfly, please your side retreat immediately."0Correct As soon as the words came out, a Gundam that looked like F91 stopped in front of TurnX. This Gundam did not carry a beam rifle, and the VSBR on its body had been removed, so there was not a single thing resembling a long-range weapon visible all over its body.0Correct "Moonlight Butterfly?" Kururugi immediately reacted. He did not even have the idea to try to test the truth of that statement, and Lancelot sped at full speed towards the battlefield, "All troops retreat!"0Correct "Thank you all for buying time for me." Amuro unfolded the beam saber and approached TurnX, and F91''s MEPE (Metal Peel-off Effect) was activated instantly, pulling out a series of afterimages in the air, "Let''s see how long I can last."0Correct "Another so-called ACE," Embryo didn''t even bother to activate TurnX''s split function, "Everything is meaningless in front of the absolute performance gap and my hundreds of years of experience."0Correct The two machines fought for several rounds. Replying on MEPE, Amuro barely kept up with TurnX''s movements, "What a terrible speed, surprisingly faster than Adrien''s Gundam so much! But you need to understand that the performance of the MS is not the key to determining victory or defeat!"0Correct "What kind of monster is this?!" Embryo was surprised to find that he couldn''t take down this MS for a moment, "No time to play with you, just go to hell!"0Correct A pair of Butterfly-like gorgeous light wings unfolded from TurnX''s back. The lights extended to the space around at an incredible speed, and covered the entire sea in an instant. The Britannia fleet didn''t have time to run out of the range and was wiped out, and only a few fast MSs such as Lancelot managed to escape.0Correct The light dissipated and only TurnX and ¡­F91 remained on the sea!0Correct "How dare I appear in front of you without some preparation?" Amuro smiled faintly and rushed up again, "F91 is not just good-looking!"0Correct "How dare this inferior creature show off in front of me!" TurnX split into nine with a whoosh, "Let me see how long you can last!"0Correct As the battle resumed, F91 relied on its afterimages and Amuro''s NT instincts to weave its way through TurnX''s nine-part firepower net, dodging sure-fire attacks with incredible speed and angles. In fact, with F91''s attack power, it couldn''t even break through TurnX''s defense, but Embryo''s pride would never allow him to turn around and go back before killing this little bug.0Correct "Why couldn''t I hit it? How is it possible that I can''t hit it? This is TurnX! This is his TurnX!" Embryo shouted angrily, "You must crash here today!"0Correct The time passed, and even with Amuro''s strength and concentration, he could not hold out any longer. F91''s movements were still fast, but the situation was getting more dangerous than ever. Finally, at a certain point, F91 stopped without warning.0Correct "This MEPE is really powerful, but unfortunately, it consumes too much." Amuro breathed heavily, the intense physical exertion causing his stomach to cramp slightly and the muscles in his hands to stiffen up, "Is this the best I can do?"0Correct "Can''t move at last?" Embryo made an exciting sound, one of the parts aimed at Amuro, "Your life is already like a candle in the wind! Die, little bug!"0Correct "That''s not for sure, is it?"0Correct In the moment of firing, TurnX''s left hand suddenly flew in front of F91 and was blown up. Embryo immediately let TurnX regroup.0Correct "Amuro, thanks a lot." Unicorn Gundam with a dazzling red glow appeared in the middle of the battlefield, "Leave it to me, it''s the end I have to make with him."0Correct Amuro felt the unbelievably powerful and frightening consciousness in his head, and for a moment, he didn''t know what to say. F91 left towards the battlefield, saying "I believe in you" in his consciousness for the last time, but received no response.0Correct "Yang¡­" Embryo was at a loss for words, "You still betrayed me."0Correct "It''s not a betrayal." Ade corrected, "I have not been with you from the beginning, we have always been in a hostile relationship."0Correct "Again, again, again, again!" Embryo cried out in pain, "Why must you be on the opposite side of me! Why must you force me to kill you!"0Correct "I have learned that you also have a lot of bitterness, but Chang Wufei is right, what has happened is what has happened, and no one can wash their hands of it." Ade said, "It''s okay, I''ll end it all right away."0Correct "Isn''t it good that we create a new world together? I''ll create you as many women as you like! That politician, that Norma, that old witch, I can create you the exact same!" Embryo hissed through gritted teeth, "You''re the only friend I''ve had for a thousand years!"0Correct "You''re wrong. He''s your friend, I''m not." Ade sighed and shook his head, "You can ask him yourself later."0Correct "Are you even going to deny that? Yang Wen-li! Don''t bully me too much!" Embryo growled, "I will fuck your daughter in front of you until you regret saying that!"0Correct Ade didn''t answer him, but took a deep breath and felt the long hazy presence in his consciousness, "Hey, lend me your power."0Correct He unconsciously stretched out his hand into the void, and in a trance, he saw a figure smiling and meeting his fingertips. The familiar scent brought tears to his eyes, but he couldn''t stop giggling.0Correct "See, I told you, we''re two people."0Correct His fingertips reunited with his, and the two souls resonated warily, guiding more souls toward this place.0Correct "Ruri, Teletha, Treize, Heero, Akito, Sousuke ¡­ First time meeting, please take care. Everyone from Arsenal, hello again." He gazed into the void with tears in his smile, and countless palms overlapped with his, "Please lend me your power, everyone."0Correct Unicorn Gundam''s body suddenly emitted a blood-red light that was so eye-catching that it was blinding, and the exposed Psycho-frame on the fuselage was so brilliant and radiant that it seemed to ooze blood.0Correct "Unicorn, lend me your power."0Correct A thin layer of blood-red crystals condensed on the surface of the Psycho-frame, like the dried and crystallized blood tears of a unicorn. The entire surface of the sea reflected a blood color in the moon and red light, TurnX quietly floating on top of the sea of blood.0Correct "It shouldn''t be like this, what is this?!" Embryo tapped the operation panel impatiently, "Move, why isn''t TurnX moving?!"0Correct "Embryo, you''ll see him soon." Ade closed his eyes as tears continued to pour out of them, "You can already stop trying, I''ll help you get rid of it."0Correct He could now easily sense the presence in the distant high sky without any amplifier.0Correct "Tiffa, the target is here."0Correct A few seconds later, the hideous beam of light once again tore through the night sky and cut through the sea, and TurnX gradually faded away in the light. Only Unicorn was left standing in the moonlight, bloody as ever.0Correct "Hold your horses." He guided Embryo''s consciousness, "Come and meet him, I promised you."0Correct "¡­ Yang?" Embryo''s voice carried a hint of trembling, "Is that you?"0Correct "It''s good to see you again." Yang smiled and held out his hand to the two, "Ade, come along and have a chat? I have so much to tell you."0Correct "Sure." Ade responded with a tear-stained smile, "Me too."0Correct The blood light on Unicorn gradually dimmed down, and the thin crystals on the Psycho-frame also evaporated like disappearing, and finally, Unicorn changed into a horn white appearance. Above the moonlit sea, the pale unicorn looked like a dream.0Correct The breeze brushed the surface of the sea, and in an instant, the shimmering light was shattered, a 300-meter-long fish-like beast broke the waves and opened its 100-meter-long, tooth-lined, bloody mouth and swallowed Unicorn Gundam, then fell headlong into the deep sea and disappeared.0Correct Gaghiel, the sixth Angel CH 108 Chapter 108: No Good End for Those Who Steal the Show0Correct Ade is in an out-of-body-like state, not knowing where he is or what''s happening outside. Here the five senses do not work, and the NT''s senses are the only way to perceive. Yang Wen-li and Embryo were right beside him, but no fourth consciousness existed beyond that.0Correct "Has everyone gone back?" Ade understood all this by intuition, and a feeling of emptiness came over him, "Never to see each other again, right?"0Correct "It''s time for me to go too, it''s really the last time." Yang Wen-li was a little reluctant, "After that, you are alone, no more such a convenient cheat."0Correct "Who told you that I am alone? You think I''m the same as you indecisive guy?" Ade laughed, "Do you want to hear the story of me being stabbed by C.C.?"0Correct "Holy crap, what''s that?!" Yang Wen-li was instantly energized, "Please be detailed!"0Correct "Why don''t I just tell you from the beginning?" Ade also came to interest, "It was in U.C. 0080, when the One Year War just finished¡­"0Correct ¡­0Correct "Then I told Creuset, ''who knows what you are saying?!''"0Correct "Crap, you''re so good at it."0Correct "Garrod showed me that music video you made for Relena, you are the one who is good at it."0Correct "Bullshit, I''m not as good at it as you are."0Correct "Bullshit, I''m not as good at it as you are."0Correct ¡­0Correct "You designed F91? Awesome, you are super awesome!"0Correct "How can I be compared with you? You''ve got NT-D before you''ve even seen NT, you are far better than me."0Correct "No, no, you''re better."0Correct "No, no, no, still you are better."0Correct ¡­0Correct "Then Lacus slept with me, I have to say, the Coordinator''s physique is really well."0Correct "Why do I feel like it was always the girls who took initiative?0Correct "Actually, the reason you''re single is mainly that Teletha didn''t take initiative to sleep with you."0Correct "I suddenly feel it makes sense."0Correct ¡­0Correct "So, father-in-law, please accept me, son-in-law''s obeisance."0Correct "Carp! You were too much!"0Correct "Are you in the position to scold me? What the hell was giving Ruri a bath yourself?"0Correct "How dare you say you haven''t given Mineva a bath?"0Correct "Mineva is seven years old and Ruri is a teenager, can it be the same?!"0Correct ¡­0Correct "Wait, how come it''s just the two of us?" Yang Wen-li suddenly responded, "Where is Embryo he? Where did he go?"0Correct "He found that he can''t intervene in the conversation, so he went back bored." When Embryo left, Ade was aware of it, but he didn''t say anything, "It''s okay, he will come back to you when he finishes his final arrangements. This person is true love for you, ready for it."0Correct "Final arrangements?" Yang Wen-li was astonished, "So he''s not dead?"0Correct "Of course not dead, don''t you know?" Ade understood after a moment''s thought, "Right, this is Treize''s last words, so you don''t know it. He uploaded his consciousness to the PM, and he has been always used an artificial body to move around. This is the reason he doesn''t afraid of death, and he thought I did not know it."0Correct "Then why are you still talking bullshits with me here?! Why don''t you hurry back to face the final BOSS''s second form?" Yang Wen-li was anxious, "How to fight the PM? I don''t have a clue, are you prepared?"0Correct "Why are you so rigid in your thinking?" Ade said hatefully, "My whole plan is to use the moonlight cannon to beat him until his soul is out of his body, and then use Unicorn Gundam to make him see you. He has such deep feelings for you that he will naturally martyr himself to you, why should I fight him for the second time? Besides, nobody likes to see such an unprepossessing BOSS repeatedly appear, OK?"0Correct "I-" Yang Wen-li almost scolded, "What the hell kind of plan is that?"0Correct "I''m a researcher, I use my brain to fight." Ade had a matter-of-fact tone, "Or what? Rush up and fight him for 300 rounds? Even Amuro can''t beat him, can I?"0Correct "That''s true. Even Treize didn''t beat him, you have no chance to defeat him." Yang Wen-li sighed, "By the way, how''s it going out there, is it okay?"0Correct "Amuro and others are all around, my body and Unicorn should have been recovered, right?" Ade replied without thinking, "It doesn''t feel like it''s been long, it''s fine, let''s keep talking."0Correct ¡­0Correct Dr. Lingus'' search and rescue operation has been going on for three days.0Correct The search and rescue operation was centered on Iserlohn, and Ange was solely responsible for it. Originally, they were extremely short of manpower, Ange then looked for help from the girls of Arsenal. As expected, the girls of the island have responded positively. Unfortunately, the big fish disappeared with no trace after that. Some guessed that it had dived to the bottom of the sea, some guessed that it had swum to other water areas.0Correct At this time, a cabin on the ship.0Correct "Back? Are you just going to give up?" Ange looked at C.C. and Lacus incredulously, "It''s only been three days, it''s still too early to give up, right? That''s Ade! It''s absolutely impossible to give up before seeing the body, right?"0Correct "I can understand your feelings, but to be honest, I''m getting used to this kind of thing." C.C. was lying lazily on the bed, "How many times? Die over, come back to life, die over, come back to life, die over again, come back to life again."0Correct "It''s just simply torturing the person left behind, right?" Lacus was a bit depressed, "Or is it that as long as I am repeatedly tortured like this, I will start to feel that I am lucky enough as long as he lives, and I will become accustomed to everything he does?"0Correct "The scariest thing is that I''m really starting to think that way." C.C. sighed, "He''ll come back in six months or a year with a new woman by his side. I might think by then that it''s good for him to come back alive, and I don''t care who this woman is."0Correct "Get him back if you don''t want that to happen!" Ange raised her voice in discontent, "Hurry up! Just get him back before anything happens, what can it do if you guys just stay in the room and complain?"0Correct "You can''t just go and act, and you can''t just act and get results." Lacus patiently explained, "There are many things to consider, first of all, we are still nominally on the territory of another country, and secondly, the moon also needs-"0Correct "Yes, yes, yes, you''re smarter than me. I''m so dumb, I can''t think that much." Ange interrupted her impatiently, "What the hell is that sea monster and why is it eating Ade? C.C., do you know something?"0Correct "Why do you ask that?" C.C. raised an eyebrow.0Correct "You''re the only one who''s been acting the calmest." Ange recalled carefully, "Is that thing an angel? I remember Ade seems to have told me, there is a sea angel, and it''s called ¡­ is called Gagiel?"0Correct "How does he know?" C.C. sat up from the bed at once, "No, how does he tell you everything?!"0Correct "Because I believe everything he tells me." Ange grunted, "You guys are too smart."0Correct "Gagiel indeed." C.C. whispered, "But the angel''s target should be Embryo only, I don''t know why it would attack Ade. Maybe this angel has a lower IQ and took Ade for Embryo? In any case, now we haven''t found Adam, the angel is not supposed to appear. I have no clue."0Correct "You know it? Why didn''t you say it earlier?" Ange''s big eyes glared at C.C., "Wasting everyone''s time for a few days."0Correct "What can we do if I say it?" C.C. asked rhetorically, "What can you do with an angel? No matter how weak and how useless it is, it''s an angel. What can you do to it?"0Correct "Find it, punch it to death, and save Ade. So what if it''s an angel? Even if it''s a god, I''ll kill it for Ade!" Ange turned around and left, "I''ll go by myself if you don''t want to, I can get Ade back by myself. Momoka, let''s go."0Correct "Yes, Your Highness Angelise!" The maid bowed to the two in the room and turned to follow Ange out, "Your Highness Angelise is so cool!"0Correct Everyone was sent out on a search mission, the ship was empty, and the master and servant walked towards the hangar.0Correct "The stab Ade suffered was really not worth it." Ange complained along the way, "Those two women are even worse than Alice, they only know to act as if they have reasons, who don''t have a reason? Is that an excuse?"0Correct "That''s why I said that politician and old witch are unreliable, and he didn''t believe me. It seems that only you are different, worthy of being Yang''s daughter."0Correct "Who?!" Ange alertly turned around in a defensive stance, and Momoka reflexively shielded herself in front of Ange. "Em, em, Embryo? Aren''t you dead?!"0Correct "It wasn''t long ago that I said something very rude about you to him, and although I can''t repeat it, please allow me to apologize." Embryo bowed gracefully, "I do not ask for your forgiveness, for my days are numbered."0Correct "What is the situation?" Ange looked confused, "Why are you here? What do you want?"0Correct "It''s complicated to explain, you can simply understand that I''m going to find Yang soon, but before that, I need to get Yang''s son-in-law out of there, otherwise, he won''t forgive me." Embryo pointed at Ange, "By the way, teach Yang''s daughter how to use Villkiss so that I can gain more goodwill from him."0Correct "Momoka, my IQ is not enough." Ange poked the maid lady with her elbow, "Hurry up and translate it for me."0Correct "He said he''s going to teach Her Highness Angelise how to use Villkiss, and he''s going to rescue Ade-san!" Momoka showed an excited expression, "Your Highness, can we trust him?"0Correct "You don''t have to trust me, I''ll do it for you." Embryo strides ahead, "I''ve already put Villkiss in the hangar for you, you''ll see it soon."0Correct The two of them followed Embryo suspiciously to the hangar, and Villkiss was indeed parked inside. In addition to Villkiss, there was a black PM Ange had never seen before. Embryo rolled over and jumped on the black PM. The maid lady opened the door of the hangar, and Ange hesitated for a moment and decided to take a ride on Villkiss alone.0Correct "This is something I prepared for Yang, and it ended up being used by his daughter to save his son-in-law, which is some kind of fate." Embryo started the PM and slowly sailed away from the warship, "I''m having trouble defining exactly what the identity of Lingus is now, but you have to protect him no matter what."0Correct "I will protect Ade without you saying so." Ange followed him, "What exactly is the use of Villkiss? Compared to those MSs, it has no combat power at all, right?"0Correct "No combat power at all?" As if he had heard some kind of cold joke, Embryo sneered, "This is the crystallization of my thousand years of wisdom, the machine that I have painstakingly built for Yang, how can it have no combat power?"0Correct "You really are a faggot ¡­" Ange whispered in a small voice.0Correct "Even a weak man like Yang can easily use its field, even by someone with little jumper talent like Yang can easily use its fifth-generation boson jumping system, not to mention its ultimate weapon, the Space Time Convergence Cannon, which can be easily used by singing the same song with me." Embryo paused for a moment, "This last one is temporarily unusable due to Yang''s encryption, and I don''t know the password. But Yang is worthy of being Yang, only he can crack my system, and only he can make a system that I can''t crack."0Correct "It''s great that Ade is not Dr. Yang." Ange breathed a sigh of relief, "You''re even scarier than Alice."0Correct "Transform it." Said the black PM and turned into a human form, "Let me show you Villkiss'' true power."0Correct Ange transformed Villkiss, and followed immediately by a startled cry, "What''s that extra thing on Villkiss?"0Correct "To make up for not being able to use the Space Time Convergence Cannon, I''ve loaded all the beam shields, beam sabers, and beam rifles from my hull onto Villkiss." Embryo explained, "You have to protect him with these weapons."0Correct "Please, just get to Dr. Yang." Ange muttered in a low voice, "I''m afraid you can''t resist taking Ade to quench your thirst."0Correct A few hours later, thousands of miles away in the Pacific Ocean, two PMs rushed into the sea, one after the other, and dived downward without hesitation.0Correct "Surprisingly, it really doesn''t leak!" Ange looked at the so-called "airtight field" with amazement, "Ade and I always thought Villkiss'' cockpit was not airtight, and he always complained about the cold. Well, I''d rather not tell him that it has this feature, it is also good to let him blow the wind."0Correct "Of course it won''t leak." Embryo felt extremely speechless, "PM''s airtight field can protect the pilot in a vacuum, deep sea, very low temperature, and very high temperature, this is the PM made to explore the new world. The reason why it is not fully enclosed is to facilitate eye contact between pilots."0Correct "No, I can''t take it anymore." Ange only feel a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, nausea and regurgitation, "Ade, help me."0Correct "Attention, it''s coming."0Correct The bottom of the sea was pitch black, all lights were from the PM''s own luminous lighting. After a while, Ange finally vaguely saw a huge shadow in the distance. It is Gagiel.0Correct "This size is a bit scary." Ange felt slightly nervous, "The bottom of the sea is its home turf, is it better for us to lure it to the surface to fight?"0Correct "Even if the strength of your soul is not enough for you to sense the angel''s emotions, you can analyze it by observing its subtle movements." Embryo was unusually calm, "The other side is panicking right now."0Correct As soon as they talked, Gagiel opened its bloody mouth and rushed over. Ange looked at Embryo''s indifferent look and directly rushed to Gagiel''s mouth. The resistance of the seawater seems to have no effect on Villkiss, the PM''s movement is smooth and natural without a hint of obstruction, easily breaking through the critical distance of AT field.0Correct Out of her expectations, Gagiel''s upper and lower jaws closed with unimaginable speed, and Villkiss was about to be torn in two by its sharp teeth. Ange pulled out the beam saber in the nick of time and thrust it toward the teeth above. The seawater around the saber evaporated under the heat, then the saber cut through the angel''s sharp teeth like cutting mud, and Villkiss took advantage of this gap to rush straight in. For the PM, which was just under eight meters tall, there was plenty of room to move around in the fish-like angel''s mouth.0Correct "Unicorn?" Ange was surprised to find Ade''s Gundam in the depths of the mouth, "What kind of fish is this, one with only a mouth and no digestive organs?"0Correct Then Ange found a small red orb not far behind Unicorn, embedded in the angel''s throat, which was unusually conspicuous under the reflection of Villkiss''s light. As if sensing danger, Gagiel also twisted its body desperately, and Ange was flung around in the fish-like angel''s mouth.0Correct "This angel is even dumber than me." Ange smiled triumphantly, "You''re acting too obvious, obviously that''s the weakness!"0Correct Ange controlled her balance for a moment, lifted the beam saber and stabbed at the red orb. This thing was quite hard, and it took Ange a lot of stabbing to make a crack. Whenever this thing was attacked, the angel struggled frantically until Ange finally burst it after a lot of effort, and the fish-like angel''s movements only gradually stopped.0Correct "Oh no, what if the mouth doesn''t open after it dies?" Ange found herself being carried to the bottom of the sea by the angel''s corpse and called out in a panic.0Correct "Jump with it." Embryo''s voice rang out on the channel.0Correct Ange put away the beam saber and dashed towards Unicorn, Villkiss'' body glowed with blue light, and the two machines suddenly disappeared in place at the moment of contact.0Correct Thousands of miles away in the Atlantic Ocean, Villkiss was floating in the air, holding Unicorn which was twice as big as itself.0Correct "You can already protect him, and I can go to see Yang without regrets." Embryo''s voice was slightly sad, "Please tell Lingus for me to thank him for everything he has done for me."0Correct "Wait, what did Ade do for you?" The black PM disappeared before Ange got an answer, and Ange shouted, "Don''t you run, explain to me clearly!"0Correct When Ange returned to Iserlohn with Unicorn, she was greeted by smiling Momoka and shocked Lacus.0Correct "How is it possible ¡­" C.C. felt her worldview collapse, "What the hell have I been doing ¡­ "0Correct "The only bad news is Ade seems to be asleep." Ange held Ade out from the cockpit out in front of others, "Alice said that he had been this way after the battle that day. Will he never be able to wake up?"0Correct "Shut up." Alice protested loudly, "Ade said that you are not allowed to make FLAGs."0Correct At this moment, somewhere in the middle of an unnameable space.0Correct "Huh, Embryo, you''re back?"0Correct "I can leave with you without regret this time. Please don''t mind me, you two continue."0Correct "Yes, yes, don''t interrupt, continue. Just now, we talked about Leonard raiding your institute and Treize and Teletha happened to be away, then what happened?"0Correct "And then Leonard took me away. I spent months to gain his good sense, and that was pretty difficult."0Correct "There is no end to it? Why did you get taken away again? You were kidnapped by Chang Wufei just before, right?"0Correct "They all want to catch me, what can I do?" CH 109 Chapter 109: Self-discipline of Actors0Correct "Shock! Dr. Lingus comes back to life, Anaheim becomes the biggest winner!"0Correct "Shock! Dr. Rengers has a new love, what can Lacus do in this situation?"0Correct Ange turned off the entire front page with "Shock! Dr. Lingus XXX!" and opened another news app, but found that nothing had changed. She put the phone away, pulled the chair closer to the hospital bed, leaned out and poked Ade''s cheek with her finger, and whispered, "Shock! Dr. Lingus can''t move, and the mysterious beautiful girl did this to him."0Correct Momoka puffed out a laugh behind her.0Correct It had been a week since Ade was brought back to the moon, unconscious and surviving on fluids. Both Amuro and Tiffa had visited, and although their own powers were strong, they were just ordinary NTs, helpless to deal with such specialized problems. The doctors at the hospital were even more helpless, stating that Ade was in a vegetative state and could only wait for a miracle to bring his consciousness back.0Correct Since that battle, the people of Misurugi lost the Dawn''s Royal Pillar and were suddenly unable to use their superpowers overnight. The whole country was thrown into panic, followed by riots. At the same time, the fog of war on the map also suddenly disappeared, and spy satellites easily observed all this. The "kind" Colonel Scirocco immediately dispatched an international humanitarian peacekeeping force to occupy the entire territory of Misurugi, promising to help them re-establish order so that Misurugi would also be bathed in the warmth of the Earth Federation family.0Correct Before the arrival of the TITANS force, Ange persuaded the kind-hearted Loran and Diana to allow all the Normas who were willing to go with her to move to the moon, against the strong opposition of C.C. and Lacus. In addition to Commander Jill and other people who had nothing to do with Ade, all the girls who had received Ade''s psychological counseling followed Ange and left.0Correct So in Lacus and C.C.''s desperate gaze, Ange with dozens of beautiful girls back to the moon.0Correct After that, all of these girls without any skill except fighting joined Ade''s security company, and their only job is to protect Ade''s security in shifts. For example, the current protector in the ward is -0Correct "Salia, please go out for a moment." Ange righteously ordered, "I''m going to clean Ade''s body, please avoid suspicion, thank you."0Correct "Ange, it''s hard for you to do this for Mr. Ade every day, isn''t it?" Salia gulped and suggested in a low voice, "Why don''t you let me do it today and you take a break?"0Correct "Why does each of you have to make such requests? Do you really think I''m stupid?!" Ange had a displeased look, "Get out, if you don''t get out, your payment will be deducted!"0Correct "Tsk." Salia smacked her lips, "We all came out of Arsenal, why should we not even have money for food and you have so much money that you can pay us a salary? It''s so unfair."0Correct Ange smiled smugly without answering, and Salia left the ward helplessly. Anaheim''s shares were still in C.C.''s hands, and the rest of the property had been legally inherited by Lacus. Ade was afraid of Ange being bullied in the financial, so he gave her all the money he previously saved, now this security team, which was formed by pure beautiful girls, is paid by Ange alone.0Correct "Wake up soon. Friday feels bored without you." Ange poked Ade''s senseless face again, then lifted the white quilt on the hospital bed, "Momoka, come give a hand."0Correct "Yes, Your Highness Angelise!" The maid lady was full of smiles on her face.0Correct In the afternoon, Momoka went back early to make dinner, who now had contracted all the chores of the family. Ange played with her cell phone, checking Ade every now and then, and waited until evening to go home. In the evening, there will be another group of girls guarding the hospital in charge of Ade''s security, they are all professionally trained in combat. Ange is very clear about their fighting ability, the only thing she feels uneasy about is whether these young girls will secretly do something bad to Ade while she is not there.1Correct As soon as she got home, Mineva flew into her arms and rubbed her cheek affectionately, Ange also happily picked the little girl up and lifted her up high to play with her.0Correct "Is Uncle Ade still not awake?" Mineva just asked, then got the answer from Ange''s face, "Sister Ange, don''t worry, Uncle Ade just went out to play, he will definitely come back."0Correct Ange responded absentmindedly, not taking the little girl''s words seriously. Although she was quite fond of Mineva, she did not really believe in the little girl''s words, and only took it as childish talk.0Correct At this moment, Momoka was cooking dinner, Lacus was not yet off work, and C.C. was lying on the sofa, watching TV again. Ange thought about it and carried Mineva back to her room, she had something private to say to the little girl.0Correct When she got into the room, Ange put Mineva on the bed, took a chair and sat face to face with her, organized her language, and said, "Mineva, I think you should not put your face long in front of C.C. and Lacus. Although I don''t like them either, this makes the atmosphere in the house awkward, and Ade won''t feel good when he comes back."0Correct "They made that kind of thing and didn''t feel guilty at all, and want to go back by themselves, leaving Uncle Ade alone." The little girl pouted, and her brow furrowed, "If it wasn''t for Sister Ange who saved Uncle Ade back, Uncle Ade would have been eaten by the fish."0Correct "I don''t think he''s too likely to be eaten by the fish." Ange said seriously, "It''s more likely that there''s another aunt in the house."0Correct Mineva fell silent, and Ange waited silently without speaking. After a while, Mineva took the initiative and said, "Sister Ange, you''re right, I shouldn''t put on a long face to them."0Correct "Right?" Ange suddenly smiled with joy, "I also know how to teach the children!"0Correct "I remember, Auntie Lacus and Auntie Haman both taught me to look happy in such situations, to give each other the illusion of getting along." The young girl was enlightened, "They also taught a lot of useful things that can be used now."0Correct "Uh, it doesn''t seem to be what I thought it would be?" Ange rubbed her chin, "How old are you? Why have you begun to think these things?"0Correct Mineva jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. Ange hurriedly followed behind. Mineva ran up to C.C., looked at her with a guilty face, lowered her head, and said, "I''m sorry, Sister C.C., I shouldn''t have done that to you. Sister Ange has educated me, I know I was wrong."0Correct C.C. took her attention away from the TV and stared dumbfounded at Mineva, then raised her head to look at Ange, who was not far away, and froze for a long time before responding, "It''s okay, you''re still young, I don''t blame you."0Correct "Thank you, Sister C.C.!" Mineva gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Sister C.C. is the best!"0Correct When Lacus came home from work, Mineva used the exact same trick on Lacus again. Lacus also fell for the trick and didn''t have any suspicion at all.0Correct After the meal, Lacus hosted an important meeting. Since Mineva behaved particularly well today, she was agreed to participate.0Correct "Regarding Ade''s treatment, it''s not a good idea to just leave it and wait for him to get better on his own. Ange is right, it''s time to be more proactive." Lacus looked around, "I contacted Cha ¡­Quattro today."0Correct "Contacted him for what?" Ange asked, "I remember Ade saying he was much weaker than that NT named Amuro."0Correct "He has information that we don''t have." Lacus explained, "According to him, there are two places in the world right now that have the most thorough research on NT. One is TITANS''s Abnormal Humans Study Center, and the other is P.L.A.N.T.''s New Type Institute."0Correct "You''re looking for Haman Karn?" C.C. immediately understood, "Won''t it be too risky?"0Correct "I can''t make up my mind either, that''s why I brought it out for discussion." Lacus smiled bitterly, "Only at this time, I hope that there is an NT around, at least we can judge if Haman Karn is sincere in this situation."0Correct "Me, me, me!" Mineva raised her small hand, "I''m an NT!"0Correct Only then did everyone present remember the fact that Mineva was an NT, which even Lacus had inadvertently overlooked.0Correct "Then how about asking Karn to try first?" C.C. suddenly sighed, "But I always feel like the plot is going to go back around again, Char came up with a bad idea."0Correct At this moment, Char, who came up with a bad idea, was visiting the school festival of Ashford Academy with Nanai.0Correct The two casually strolled around for a while then found a secluded place to sit and rest in the shade, and Char couldn''t help but exclaim, "This is youth."0Correct "You''re not old enough to say that, are you?" Nanai leaned on his shoulder, "Isn''t this identity, Full Frontal being wanted by Britannia? Why did you even come to Japan?"0Correct "A mediocre person might think that this identity is no longer usable, but I don''t think so. This identity is more valuable today." Char smiled faintly, "I am now to play the real role of this identity."0Correct "Don''t you have to deal with TITANS?" Nanai asked in disbelief, "This is Britannia''s territory."0Correct "TITANS is not an isolated individual, but a collection of officer groups led by Scirocco and the interest groups behind them." Char gestured, "It''s a web, Scirocco, Marcenas, Charles, even Haman, Loran, Lingus, all in the web, and one thing leads to another. It''s not as simple as killing Scirocco and solving the problem, there are many aspects to consider. I just chose the entry point that would maximize the use of Frontal as an identity."0Correct Nanai, who came from a researcher background, basically couldn''t understand what Char was saying, but that didn''t stop her from gazing eagerly at her beloved with adoring eyes.0Correct "Wait, there''s NewType?"Char was suddenly alerted, "This feeling, could it be ¡­!"0Correct Through the long time spent with Amuro, Lingus, Kamille, and others, Char was now able to roughly separate himself from other NTs. He roughly divides NTs into three levels: those who are about the same as him, such as Glemy and Haman; those who are stronger than him, such as Amuro and Kamille; and those who he cannot estimate at all, such as Lingus and Tiffa. Although he couldn''t tell who was who, he could roughly feel the level of the NT in front of him, and then he could deduce who the person actually was based on other clues.0Correct "This terrible intensity ¡­" Char calmly pushed his sunglasses, "Lingus has not yet awakened, there is no mistake, it must be Tiffa."0Correct Not long after, a group of chattering young boys and girls appeared in Char''s view, and he recognized Kururugi at once. Relying on the appreciation of the two princesses, he finally became a knight of the round table, but now he was suspended for inspection due to a major mistake, and even risked being stripped of the title of the knight of the round table. Right now, Kururugi is in the midst of a career disappointment, showing a depressed, forced smile on his face.0Correct Then Char noticed that there was a handsome, black-haired teenager, pushing a wheelchair beside Kururugi, and on the wheelchair sat a pitiful maiden, and this maiden was the NT he sensed before, whose level should be the same as Lingus and Tiffa.0Correct "There is still this level of NT on the earth?" Char was shocked inwardly, but on the surface, he looked still very calm, "This is really an unexpected discovery ¡­"0Correct Kururugi also spotted him, and his shock was overwhelming. He left his companion behind and quickly ran to Char, whispering viciously, "What are you doing here?"0Correct "Naturally, I came to look for you." Char replied frankly, "Kururugi-kun, since you managed to stay alive, it is necessary for us to have a good talk."0Correct The handsome black-haired boy who immediately noticed his friend''s abnormality also pushed the wheelchair here, asking in a courteous tone, "Hello, I am Lelouch Lamperouge, Kururugi''s friend. Are you Kururugi''s friend too?"0Correct "Hello." Char greeted with a self-effacing nod, as if he had never heard of the name, "Yes, I am Kururugi-Kun''s friend, you can call me Full Frontal."0Correct "Full Frontal¡­" Lelouch''s eyes instantly sharpened, "The Britannia wanted criminal who almost killed Kururugi, you took the initiative to come here, so I guess you must be very confident in yourself?"0Correct "It seems that you know me too?" Char smiled, "Not so much confident, just trying to clear up a misunderstanding."0Correct "I don''t think there''s any misunderstanding, you''ll be handed over to the Britannia government soon." Lelouch said coldly, "Kururugi, there is no need to listen to this man''s words, he''s trying to use you."0Correct "I never expected Kururugi-kun to be personally involved, and I''m sorry for almost losing him." Char shook his head regretfully, "But sometimes, sacrifices just happen for ideals, even if it''s yourself. I wonder if Kururugi-kun regrets what he did?"0Correct "I''ve never regretted-"0Correct "Kururugi, don''t talk to him!" Lelouch interrupted his friend, "You take Nunnally and go first, let me deal with him here."0Correct Kururugi hesitated for a moment and chose to trust his friend, pushing Nunnally''s wheelchair and leaving first.0Correct "I''ll give you one more word of explanation, and I''ll call the police if you can''t justify yourself." Lelouch looked at Char warily, but Char still read excitement and anticipation in his body movements, "Answer me, what is your purpose?"0Correct The young girl in the wheelchair was already far away and not in Char''s senses. He took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, then shrugged helplessly and said in a self-loathing tone, "I am indeed using Kururugi-kun, because I want to defeat Britannia."0Correct "Reason?" Lelouch''s eyes glowed.0Correct "I have a grudge against Emperor Charles." Char said through gritted teeth, "Unless I die, I will not give up my revenge."0Correct Lelouch Lamperouge CH 110 Chapter 110: Humans Are Screwed0Correct A conversation had come to an end in some nameless chat room.0Correct "There''s nothing more I can do, so take care of yourself." Yang Wen-li sighed and lamented, "I''m sorry to let you face this kind of world alone, if I knew it earlier, I should have let Embryo stay and help you."0Solved "I shouldn''t have played the game of ''decipher the world view'' with you if I knew it earlier, now I have the impulse to run away with you." Ade laughed bitterly, "How can I play when all the bad forebodings all come true?"0Solved "You may not be able to live to that day. Are you worrying too much?" Yang Wen-li reassured him, "Who will care about the world a hundred years later?"0Correct "I will care, C.C. will still be alive by then, should we let her face that kind of thing alone?" Ade said, "Then it''s better that I take CODE over and kill her, rather than let her die in loneliness and despair."0Correct "You can think about these after you live through the bloody scene of your women." Yang Wen-li''s tone was sour, "I think that Lacus will have a change of heart sooner or later. Inside her pink exterior is a black heart, and her inside is especially black."0Solved "Don''t worry, I have long figured it out." Ade smiled lightly, "If I like her, I will never let her go; if I love her, I will never leave her. What is the use of playing dumb? You will eventually be dumped in the end. Being rejected, pursuing her again; being refused again, then using force; if force doesn''t work, then using drugs. The worst result is being chopped to death, but if you don''t dare take this risk, how do you have the courage to say you love her?"0Solved Yang Wen-li was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh, "If I had this awareness, I would not be a virgin until death."0Solved The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, but they both understood that it was almost time, and the atmosphere was getting heavy.0Correct "Then let''s stop here. After all, all good things must come to an end." Yang Wen-li looked a little sad, "Please make sure you are happy, we ¡­ will never meet again."0Correct "Well, farewell."0Correct Yang Wen-li''s consciousness gradually flew far away, until it can no longer be touched. Ade suddenly felt a void inside, as if he had lost something important, and then his consciousness slowly returned to his body. He opened his eyes, and what came into view was a completely unfamiliar ceiling, with a warm, moist feeling coming from the corner of his eyes.0Correct The person beside him used something to wipe away the liquid left at the corner of his eyes, then gently held his hand without asking anything.0Correct "Ange, where are we?" Ade stared blankly at the ceiling.0Correct "P.L.A.N.T." The young girl replied, "I was planning to send you to the New Type Institute to find a way to wake you up, but since you woke up on your own, is it possible for us to go straight back?"0Correct "No, just in time, I have something important for Haman." Ade gave a push to try to sit up, but his arms were too weak, and he fell backward halfway. Ange hurriedly reached out to support him so he could sit up.0Correct "You should stay in the hotel today and not move around." Ange took the initiative to massage his arm and leg muscles, "Although it''s not long, you still have to let your body get used to the current condition, and you have to rest for at least a day."0Correct "You''re the expert, I''ll do as you say." Ade turned his head to look at the young girl and suddenly raised his voice, "Wait, how long have I been lying down? Has your hair gotten longer? Why do I remember that it didn''t reach my shoulders before?"0Solved "You''ve only been lying down for a week, and it''s been a long time since my hair grew this long." Ange withdrew one hand and curled her hair with her fingertips. Her tone was a bit sultry, "You didn''t feel the change because we could see each other every day before, but you only realized it when you suddenly saw my hair again."0Correct "Why did you suddenly grow your hair?" Ade asked curiously, "Your short hair is also quite good-looking."0Correct "Didn''t you say it?" Ange puffed up her cheeks, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "I can''t help with IQ or EQ, but at least, I can do something to the hair¡­"0Solved Ade recalled what he had said, guffawed, stretched out his arms to the young girl, hugging her and gently rocking her body. Ange froze for a short while, then reached out and hugged him back. The two spent a cozy moment in silence until Ade awkwardly coughed and Ange''s face turned red.0Correct "I''ve said that you should go rest today, why do you immediately think pervertedly? I''m really speechless." Instead of complaining, the young girl''s voice sounded a bit happy, "Anyway, you are not allowed to move, leave it all to me~"0Solved ¡­0Correct Ange came out from the bathroom after washing up and stuck her tongue out mischievously at Ade on the bed.0Solved "You had a few seconds of inattention halfway through, it''s very demotivating for me, okay?" The young girl sat next to him and relaxed into his arms, "Explain yourself or I''ll get upset. If I''m not happy, I''ll never do this kind of thing for you again."0Correct "This, this ¡­" Ade looked innocently up at the ceiling, "Tiffa spotted me, gave me a quick hello, then probably she realized what was going on and she scampered off. "0Solved Ange''s face instantly became burning red.0Correct "Why is Tiffa here?" Ade tried to change the subject, "Tell me about what happened after rescuing me, Embryo had told me the previous things."0Solved "Oh, oh." Ange nodded, trying to pretend that nothing had happened, "The team needed an NT, and Grandpa Chang Wufei sent Tiffa and Garrod over. Other than that, the only ones who came along were me and some bodyguards in charge of security. Momoka and others were all on the moon."0Correct "Wait, where are the brains in charge?" Ade squeezed Ange''s hand, "For the record, I''m not saying anything against you."0Solved "I think you''re clearly taking it personally!" Ange pinched him with dissatisfaction, "With Tiffa being the super NT, do we still need an intellect in charge?"0Correct "You all have a deep misunderstanding of NT." Ade sighed, "As long as the method is right, an NT can also deceive another NT."0Correct Next, the two opened the window for ventilation and Ange gave Ade an account of what had happened earlier. After the smell in the room dissipated, Ange informed everyone that Ade had woken up, then everyone came over to say hello to Ade. Tiffa''s face turned red as soon as she saw Ade, and Ade was desperately apologizing in the mind space. Although Garrod didn''t know what had happened, he still got alerted.0Correct Then Ade made a phone call to the home, and then contacted Haman. In order to save unnecessary trouble and bypass the reporters, the trip was completely confidential, Ade and his party stayed in a government-run hotel, and only a few people knew about it. He and Haman had fairly pleasant cooperation, and Haman readily agreed to come over tomorrow in secret.0Correct The next day, Ade met Haman in plain clothes at the hotel without incident.0Correct "You didn''t go back immediately but asked to see me, I suppose there is something extremely important?" Haman casually sat down opposite Ade. Her eyes gestured to Ange behind Ade, full of disdain, "Changing women again? You and Char must have a lot in common."0Solved "Char has a new lover?" Ade ignored her sneer and was instead taken aback, "Didn''t he run off on his own?"0Correct "Nanai, the second director of the New Type Institute, disappeared after learning of Char''s escape, she was originally Char''s assistant, where do you think she ran off to?" Haman sneered, "If not, there would be no need to put Glemy in charge of the Institute now."0Correct "Glemy is in charge of the Institute?!" A cold sweat broke out from Ade''s back, "I woke up just in time ¡­"0Correct "What''s your bias against my people?" Haman raised an eyebrow, "Get down to business, my time is valuable."0Correct "Before we get to business, can I ask curiously?" Ade pointed to the two similar-looking young girls standing behind Haman, who were stealing glances at him every now and then, "Who are these two beauties? Are they taking Glemy''s original place?"0Correct "Heh, men." Haman grunted lightly, "The Hawke sisters, my bodyguards. They were personally promoted from ZAFT by me and can be completely trusted."0Solved Ade nodded in realization, not dwelling on the issue. He took a deep breath and said with a straight face, "I wish to make a deal with you. I will do my best to help you stabilize the situation in P.L.A.N.T., including convincing the Moon to give you all-round assistance militarily and economically. In exchange, you need to stay in power and support me unconditionally when I need it."0Correct "Arrogant deal, spoken as if I can''t grasp the P.L.A.N.T. without your help." Haman immediately realized Ade''s meaning after she said that, "Someone will mess things up and you think I won''t be able to control the situation?"0Correct Ade didn''t say anything, just stared at her in silence. He did not want to reveal too much information, but he has no choice sometimes.0Correct "Since I inherited the Zabi family and Char''s power, I''ve been trying to find ways to divide them. They''ve also been making small moves on ZAFT and economic issues, but that''s all they can do." Haman muttered to herself, "You think that I can''t control it, are they going to play the armed coup again? No, that''s not enough to bring me down. Some of my people are actually their people? Plus with that attitude you just had, Glemy Toto will betray me?"0Correct "May I ask where did you get your IQ?" Ade asked sincerely, "Someone in my family especially needs it."0Correct Ange tried to restrain the urge to secretly pinch him. She decided to teach him a lesson after Haman returned.0Correct "This information is very meaningful, its value is enough to let this meeting continue." Haman didn''t care about Ade''s gag, "What about your reasoning? What do you mean by ''unconditional support''? I don''t think I have the charisma for it, nor do I think you''re stupid enough to do it."0Correct The more gentlemanly answer here would be "You underestimate your own charm," but to prevent entering an odd branch route, Ade chose to show his hand directly, "The next thing I''m going to say is rather incredible, I hope the Hawke sisters behind you can go out for a while, and Ange will also go out as a sign of good faith."0Correct Haman considered for a moment, acquiesced to Ade''s claim, and gestured for the Hawke sisters to go out. Ange gave Ade a worried look and chose to believe him as well.0Correct With Ade and Haman alone in the room, Haman didn''t look nervous at all, "Say, your reason for doing this. Don''t tell me Char''s sea monster story. I already know this, it won''t convince me."0Correct "This monster has a dozen other brothers of various shapes and sizes, which is part of what I''m going to say, but let''s start with the most fundamental thing." Ade took a sip of water to moisten his throat, "First, let''s assume the two fundamental axioms of this universe."0Correct Hearing the topic become so grandiose all of a sudden, feeling the stark emotion in her consciousness, Haman also couldn''t help but sit up straight.0Correct "First, the first priority of civilization is survival, not mutual understanding."0Correct "You''ve established that more than human civilizations exist in the universe? Fossils?" Haman immediately shook her head, "This sociology-like inference cannot be realized on an individual case. Not just one extraterrestrial civilization, but many?"0Correct "I hope beyond hope that you are friendly." Ade smiled admiringly and continued, "Second, energy is infinite, but the medium for obtaining infinite energy is finite."0Correct "A medium for acquiring infinite energy?" Haman shuddered slightly, she couldn''t have known better what this meant to a ruler, "The terms you are offering are becoming more and more tempting."0Correct "Next, we made two important deductions." Ade did not explain who "we" are, and Haman did not ask, "The physical phenomena of a universe are reacted to by the rules of physics. For example, if there are no Minovsky particles in a universe, then the Minovsky particle reactor will not work in that universe. By the same token, if our universe can work with a boson jumping device, then Chulip crystal must exist in our universe."0Correct There were many professional terms Haman didn''t understand, but this did not prevent her from understanding the logic. She even noticed Ade''s unsolicited message, "You have confirmed the existence of parallel universes?"0Correct Ade did not answer positively, but continued to speak, "The second deduction, the propagation of consciousness is not media-free. As you can see from the pushing satellite event, souls can interact with each other, as well as act on matter. So there must be a medium for the propagation and action of consciousness."0Solved Haman nodded in recognition. She, as an NT, had some experience with this paragraph.0Correct "So the conclusion is drawn." Ade said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Humans are screwed."0Correct "Huh?" Haman immediately felt that either Ade did not say it clearly, or her own IQ is not enough, "No, no, no, start over again. How did you get the conclusion that humans are screwed?"0Correct At the same time, Glemy Toto was wandering around the street blindly.0Correct He had put off all his work and was fully prepared for Dr. Lingus'' visit. Now he was told that the trip was canceled, which made him a bit distracted somehow. With nothing to do, he simply gave himself a vacation and came out to relax.0Correct Walking on the street, Glemy suddenly felt a powerful and gentle consciousness, a level of NT he had never heard of, maybe only the legendary Lingus could be compared to it.0Correct He immediately sprinted in the direction he sensed, and not long after that, he saw a long-haired girl with a pretty face, wearing a simple dress, with a faint smile on her face, and the boy shopping with her was ignored by him decisively.0Correct He stretched out his right hand on his left chest, feeling his wildly beating heart, murmuring, "Mom ¡­ could this be love?"0Correct Meyrin Hawke 0Correct Lunamaria¡¤Hawke CH 111 Chapter 111: Spoilers of the Script0Correct Ange and the pair of sisters were guarding the entrance to the room. Since they didn''t know each other, she felt a little awkward at first. Fortunately, the other party took the initiative to introduce themselves to her. Ange thus learned that the older sister''s name is Lunamaria Hawke and her little sister''s name is Meyrin Hawke, both are avid fans of Haman.0Correct Ade and Haman were inside for a long time. Ange had a chat with the Hawke sisters to pass the time. The bad thing is that both sisters keep inquiring about her relationship with Ade.0Correct "Dr. Lingus is married, right? Miss Lacus, no, it should be Mrs. Lingus now." Meyrin curiously poked around, "But Miss Ange and Dr. Lingus look like a couple, right?"0Correct "Could it be that you met Dr. Lingus when he was missing?" Lunamaria had a brainstorm, "Like when the doctor was in trouble, he was saved by Miss Ange, and then he fell in love with you?"0Correct The two sisters looked at her expectantly, the fire of gossip burning in the two pairs of beautiful eyes. Ange was a bit distressed about whether to admit it, selfishly she wanted to be recognized, but doing so might cause trouble for Ade. After struggling for a while, she decided to deny it. Ade had been preoccupied after waking up, and she felt that she could not give Ade any trouble at such a time.0Correct She was about to say something, then saw Tiffa and Garrod suddenly appear at the other end of the corridor. The two were in a hurry, Garrod had a nervous look on his face, and even Tiffa was in a rare moment of panic.0Correct "What''s wrong?" Ange greeted them with a quick step, "What''s going on?"0Correct The duo felt a surge of reassurance at the sight of Ange, and Garrod settled down to answer, "We saw a strange man on the street. The guy first approached Tiffa unkindly, and after he was rejected, he still stalked us. We walked all the way, and he followed all the way, trailing all the way to the hotel outside before leaving."0Correct "I can''t believe there''s a pervert out in broad daylight, this place is too bad for law and order!" Ange was indignant, "Did the man say his name? The Speaker is inside right now, speak to Ade later and have Haman arrest him directly!"0Correct "He didn''t say his name." Garrod thought for a moment, "But we can pull up the surveillance, there must be some on the road, right? Sister Ange is right, these miscreants who had evil intentions to Tiffa should all be arrested, and none of them should be spared."0Correct "Forget it, don''t give Ade-san any trouble." Tiffa shook her head slightly, "That man has no malice."0Correct Garrod, who had always obeyed Tiffa''s words, immediately shut up after she said that. The two went back to their room, but Ange felt they couldn''t just let it go. Ade and Haman talked for several hours, and they had a meal together in the middle. When the meeting was over, it was already evening. Haman came out with a serious look on her face, and left with the Hawke sisters without even looking at Ange.0Correct When Ange returned to the room, she saw Ade stretching. She went behind him and rubbed his shoulders, "You guys have a lot to talk about, you''ve been talking all day. How did it go, did it work out?"0Correct "Basically, she was convinced. She understands that I''m not lying." Ade felt the soreness on his shoulder and showed an expression of enjoyment, "But Haman Karn is not such an easy woman, she still needs time to think about it, not to mention that even if the deal is done, we need to continue discussing the details, so we may have to stay here for a while."0Correct "It doesn''t matter to me. Anyway, I will stay with you." Obviously, they had done everything, Ange was still embarrassed when talking about this, "But the security here is not very good, Tiffa almost got into danger today."0Correct After listening to Ange''s relay, Ade breathed a sigh of relief, "Both you and Garrod are exaggerating, this is a normal behavior for male NTs to encounter Tiffa."0Correct "That''s totally perverted, right? Which part''s normal?" Ange recalled several NTs she knew, "Don''t Amuro and Char just act normal?"0Correct "They''re just more mature and know how to restrain themselves." Ade laughed, "Haven''t you noticed that these two are especially nice to talk to when they are in front of Tiffa? Amuro is just as well, Char is especially obvious, you can observe carefully next time you have the chance."0Correct "Really? So as long as it''s a male NT, he will have a good feeling about Tiffa?" Ange froze and suddenly reacted, "You are also a male NT, you also have a crush on Tiffa?"0Correct "¡­ It''s just normal good feelings among NTs, no impure thoughts at all."0Correct "That won''t work either, I''m jealous!" Ange instantly blew up, hugging Ade, and then threw him to the bed, "Did you say that my IQ needs to be recharged in front of Haman? I have given you so much respect in public, and you do not give me any respect, hum! I, Angelise, will make you understand that it is you, Ade, whose physical strength needs to be recharged!"0Correct "What kind of jealousy are you having?" Ade rubbed his hair, "My hair is dark and thick. Look carefully, it''s not a yellow color."0Correct "Don''t say something I don''t understand to change the subject!" Ange pounced viciously, "Tiffa is right next door, if you dare to be distracted once like yesterday, there will be one more to go for you. You are not allowed to sleep until it''s done!"0Correct "I think you''re just giving me a hard time - crap!" Ade hissed, "I''m wrong, I''m wrong! Don''t use your teeth! Ah, Friday, didn''t you do pretty well yesterday?"0Correct "Ange! Not Friday!" The young girl looked up with her face blushed, "Well, did I really do well yesterday?"0Correct Then the time came to midnight.0Correct Ange, with her head resting on Ade''s chest and her body wrapped around him like an octopus, stretched out a finger to poke his cheek and said in a sticky voice, "Ade, I want more."0Correct "There is a limit to what a person can do, Ange." Ade grabbed her hand, "We''ll talk about it after I have obtained the S2 (SuperSolenoid)."0Correct "Just try hard." Ange rubbed against his chest, "I don''t know why, but I especially want to do it today."0Correct "Who wants it, who tries it." Ade continued to play possum, "I need to recharge."0Correct Ange tangled for a short while, came to his ear and whispered a word, then let out a shocked cry, "Wow, you really turned on after hearing that? Pervert! I can''t believe it!"0Correct "You''re even more pervert than me to come up with such an idea! What do you usually read?"0Correct "Does it matter now?" Ange panted and stared at him, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Do it?"0Correct Clearly exhausted, Ade''s body was suddenly full of energy as he rolled over and pinned Ange underneath, his breathing ragged like muffled thunder, "Just be prepared!"0Correct "Mmm~"0Correct ¡­0Correct Another week passed, Haman almost came to discuss with Ade every day. He could feel that Haman was already convinced. They have even been discussing details in advance such as "assuming we reached a cooperation, what to do?"0Correct This day, Ade is reading the news in the room, Ange playing with her phone beside him, Garrod and Tiffa going out shopping again.0Correct "The Black Knights are running an independence movement in Japan?" Ade skimmed the details incredulously, "On what grounds? Where''s the money? Where are the people? Where are the supplies? C.C. is still home."0Correct "What''s wrong?" Ange heard a familiar name, "Let''s see, ZERO, the Black Knights'' leader, the mysterious masked man, launched Japan''s second independence movement, Britannia will probably become the biggest loser. Captain Quattro Bajeena, an expert in the industry, expressed strong condemnation and suggested that the Earth Federation military intervene to help restore peace and stability to the situation. Quattro is Char, right? What does this have to do with C.C.?"0Correct "Nothing to do with C.C." Ade shook his head, "But what does it have to do with Char?"0Correct The two were talking when there was a knock on the door. Ade agreed Haman walked in, and Ange went out consciously to stand at the door with Hawke sisters. After a week, Ange had become quite familiar with the sisters, and the three of them chatted every day to pass the time.0Correct In the room, Ade and Haman sat down face to face and were about to speak when suddenly the NT radar in his head sounded more than wildly. He grabbed Haman and flung himself to the ground, and the next second, a bullet mark appeared where Haman was originally located.0Correct "Ange!"0Correct As soon as the words left his mouth, he heard the sound of gunfire in the hallway, and ten seconds later, the door to the room was kicked open and Ange appeared in the doorway with a gun, "All taken out, no casualties on our side. Ade, are you okay?"0Correct "I''m fine." Ade looked to the other one in the room, "Haman?"0Correct "The signal was cut off here." Haman put down her phone, "The target is me. I''m being followed."0Correct Lunamaria also appeared behind Ange, holding a gun in her hand, "The floor has been secured, Lord Haman, it''s not safe here, let''s get out."0Correct Ade and Haman looked at each other, nodded, and then were escorted to the stairs. Along the way, Ange killed every enemy that appeared in her sight, the others hardly had a chance to shoot. When everyone arrived at the first floor, only to find the hotel lobby empty, the staff has long been cleaned up.0Correct "The enemy has no identification credentials on him, but their quality is high." After ensuring that the lobby was safe, Lunamaria said, "Not ordinary gunmen, I''m afraid that they are from ZAFT."0Correct "And there are quite a few of them." Meyrin added, "If not for Miss Ange, we are no match for them."0Correct "Armed coup?" Haman glanced at Ade, "Just from the effect of this outburst, I''m going to suspect that you''ve directed yourself."0Correct Fortunately, the enemy''s power is not strong enough to control the entire city, and sending some people to the hotel is the limit of what they can do. Haman, who managed to reach the outside, quickly contacted her cronies and took control of the situation. Ade was taken to a safe place, and right now Haman is sending people to track down the culprit.0Correct "I can''t understand it, what''s the benefit of getting Haman killed now? And make such a big deal out of it, isn''t it all exposed?" Ade whispered to himself, "And why do they have to pick a time when I''m around to do it? Can''t they do it when I''m back on the moon? That''s stupid."0Correct "I can''t understand such a complicated question, but if I wasn''t there, the story would probably be like this." Ange cleared her throat triumphantly, "Either Haman was killed, Lunamaria and Meyrin protect you to run away, and then fall in love with you; either Lunamaria and Meyrin sacrificed themselves to protect you, Haman took you on the run, and then love grew between you over time."0Correct "Why can''t none of them die and all of them fall into love with me?" Ade made a speechless expression, "You think too much."0Correct "Anyway, that''s what my intuition told me. Forget it if you don''t believe me." Ange grunted, "By the way, have you found Tiffa and Garrod? I''m worried about them."0Correct "Not yet, Haman has sent someone to look for them." Ade thought about it, "The enemy''s target is Haman. Tiffa is an NT, and Garrod is so resourceful, they will be okay, right?" CH 112 Chapter 112: Seeing the Moon0Correct Tiffa and Garrod were walking shoulder to shoulder on the street, curiously looking around. Both grew up in the destroyed world, and such highly developed civilized cities existed only in stories for them, so they couldn''t help but often run out to shop.0Correct "It''s awfully quiet." Garrod whispered to the girl beside him, "There aren''t many people in the city, unlike the moon cities."0Correct "Hmm." Tiffa nodded, "They say that Coordinators have a small population."0Correct Garrod rubbed the back of his head and gave a silly smile, "It doesn''t matter anymore, does it?"0Correct Tiffa covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "You''re in a good mood."0Correct "Of course!" Garrod looked energetic, "Everyone in the colony will start a new life, Relena-sama was saved, and Zala-san is working so hard. I got to do my best, too.!"0Correct "Yeah. Everything we''ve built up so far wasn''t for nothing, and from now on, as long as we don''t stop¡ª" Halfway through the sentence, Tiffa''s voice stopped abruptly, and the NT radar in her mind alarmed frantically, "Garrod, there''s danger! "0Correct A black limousine at the end of the street suddenly came towards the two. Garrod immediately picked up Tiffa and ran towards the crowd. The car drove onto the sidewalk, a scattering of passersby screamed and scattered, and three men in black with sunglasses came out of the limousine. The men in black quickly rushed to the two. Garrod helplessly put down Tiffa and went to fight them.0Correct Although Garrod''s fighting skill is not bad, he is no match for these men in black, who had taken years of formal military training. In a few rounds, he was knocked to the ground and Tiffa was grabbed by the group into the black limousine.0Correct "Tiffa!" The black limousine drove far away from Garrod''s sight. He desperately ran after it while taking out his cell phone to call Ade, "Can''t get through?! What is the doctor doing!"0Correct People can''t outrun cars. Soon after, the black limousine had disappeared from his view. Just as his heart was racing, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his head, "Garrod, we''re heading for the port."0Correct "Tiffa, Tiffa?" He tried to shout out in his consciousness, but received no response, and combined with his past experience, he immediately responded that this was a one-way communication, "The port, I see!"0Correct While Garrod was still on the road, Tiffa had told him she had been taken aboard a warship, into the universe. Garrod ran to the port, showed his papers, and quickly found Ade''s ship. It was the armed freighter that Ade had privately converted, and to ensure the safety of the party, Villkiss and DX were inside, with some staff currently remaining on board.0Correct "Garrod, why are you here?" A staff member on the ship was the first to spot him and asked jokingly, "How rare it is, Tiffa is not with you?"0Correct "No time to explain!" Garrod said hurriedly with a nervous look on his face, "Please inform the bridge that DX is leaving immediately! Thanks a lot, little brother!"0Correct "What''s the situation?" The man saw Garrod run away before he could finish his sentence, and shrugged helplessly, "Ok, I don''t care. I''m just a jobber, just do what I''m told to do."0Correct Garrod came to the hangar, put on his pilot''s suit, then impatiently jumped into the cockpit of Gundam DX. At this time, his body has been sweating through, "Tiffa, wait for me, I will save you out!"0Correct On the other hand, Tiffa was taken to a battleship and was currently, sitting in the bridge, listening to the group of people arguing around her.0Correct "Glemy Toto, why did you start it earlier?!" A middle-aged man in Senator''s clothes was scolding Glemy, "The perfect plan is now all ruined by you! Haman isn''t even dead! Now we have to suffer her wrath, don''t you know how terrible that woman is?"0Correct "That''s right, we shouldn''t have pushed a bad guy like you into power!" Another man in a military uniform agreed, "You''re so much worse than Char!"0Correct "It''s just a change from a peaceful evolution to a civil war, what''s the point of panicking?" Glemy''s face was full of disdain, "We have no disadvantage in terms of strength, so we can turn around and counterattack as soon as we reunite with the main force, and directly capture the capital. The result is the same."0Correct "The problem is that now Lingus is also involved." Another pot-bellied man interjected, "The moon won''t just see us do it. You don''t forget how Genesis is gone, do you?"0Correct "So we have the hostage here." Glemy gestured to Tiffa, "Don''t worry, I have the perfect plan."0Correct "Bullshit!" The group chattered and bickered again.0Correct Tiffa listened to their argument expressionlessly, with no fear on her face, because she was always confident that someone would come to save her. After some more time, she finally felt that familiar awareness, and regretted that she couldn''t talk in his head like she did with Mr. Ade. Thinking about that, she blushed slightly again.0Correct "Garrod." She murmured, "I''m here."0Correct A dozen seconds later, a startled cry from the CIC personnel rang out from the bridge, "High energy response approaching¡ª"0Correct Before the CIC personnel finished his words, a thick beam of light grazed the left side of the battleship as everyone looked on in shock. It took several seconds for the light to dissipate, but the other ships that should have existed on the left side seemed to have vanished into thin air.0Correct "Terrible¡­"0Correct "What is it, Genesis?"0Correct The ship instantly blew out and everyone argued again until the CIC personal interrupted everyone in a loud voice, "There is a message, the other side ordered us to immediately hand over Tiffa, otherwise, the second shoot will be targeting the ships on our right side."0Correct "Glemy, look at what you''ve done!" The Senator roared, "It must be Lingus'' superweapon! It''s over, it''s all fucking over!"0Correct "There''s no way a barrage of that power could be fired in quick succession." Glemy was calm as hell, "Disengage at full speed, don''t stop."0Correct Thinking about Genesis, everyone thought he was right. Unfortunately, not long later ¡ª0Correct "High energy response approaching!" Accompanied by the CIC personal''s voice, another giant beam grazed past from the right side, and the right group of ships disappeared without a trace.0Correct "Telegraph, hand over Tiffa to me and I will let you go, or the third shot will aim at ¡ª"0Correct "Tell him to hand her over! Immediately!" A senior officer pulled out a pistol and pointed it excitedly at Glemy''s head, "From now on, you don''t say anything!"0Correct Glemy gave a displeased "tsk" and looked to Tiffa, "Is that a friend of yours?"0Correct Tiffa smiled sweetly, "Boyfriend."0Correct With the ship personnel''s arranging, Tiffa put on a pilot''s suit and be shoved into a spherical escape pod and launched. Taking this chance, Glemy and the others drove the ship at full speed to run away. Guided by Tiffa, Garrod successfully found the escape pod that was left behind.0Correct "Tiffa!" Garrod opened the cockpit door and picked Tiffa up as well, "Are you okay?"0Correct Tiffa smiled and shook her head.0Correct "That''s good, just wait for me." He maneuvered Gundam DX towards the fleet at full speed, "There''s one more thing left to do, I''ll go back as soon as it''s done."0Correct Tiffa thought for a moment before understanding what he was going to do, "Didn''t you say to let go of them?"0Correct "The doctor taught me that there''s no need to keep faith when the other side is bad guys." He found a suitable sniper spot, stopped in place. As the two cannons charged and aimed, Garrod pulled the trigger with no hesitation, "Farewell."0Correct The distant ship turned into the dust of the universe in the dazzling light, and Glemy Toto lost his love and life forever. CH 113 Chapter 113: I Want Them All (Not Really)0Correct "Where did this one called Quattro Bajeena come from? I can''t find out anything about him at all." Lelouch paced back and forth in the room, acting a bit annoyed, "Mr. Frontal, do you have any clues?"0Correct "I did gather some information on my side." Char took out a stack and handed it to Lelouch, "This man first came to prominence during the One Year War and participated in many important battles. After the war, he seemed to have disappeared, but he joined the Prime Minister''s Office in a behind-the-scenes role. Now that TITANS is in charge, I''m afraid he is appearing as the face of another force in the Federation Army. It is said that this man, Captain Quattro, is very resourceful, intelligent, sketchy with things, and calculating, so we must take him seriously."0Correct "Targeted by a troublesome man." Lelouch flipped through the information in his hand and fell into a deep thought, after a long time, he slowly spoke, "With the recruited men and the supplies you supplied, we are already in a tight spot to deal with Britannia. If the Earth Federation army really wants to make a move, then we can''t afford to support two fronts at all."0Correct "I have a different idea." Char pushed his sunglasses and said in a deep voice, "We are not a match for Britannia in the first place, I don''t think it''s a bad thing for the Federation army to join in. The more muddy the water is, the better it is for us."0Correct "Oh?" Lelouch''s eyes brightened up. He immediately figured out the trick, "You are right, the man''s original target should be TITANS, but TITANS is too large, he can not act rashly against it, so he choose the Black Knights to find a breakthrough and play on the issue. "0Correct "That''s exactly what happened." Char smiled faintly, "To us, Captain Quattro isn''t an enemy, but¡ª"0Correct "¡ª but someone we can work with." Lelouch also smiled out confidently, "As long as we can contact him, we can completely convince him to put on a show with the Black Knights, or even swipe each other''s battle records over and over again. The Black Knights can make a name, and he can gain importance in the Federation. It''s a win-win situation."0Correct "You actually thought of this step?" Char made a surprised and slightly reluctant look, "I also only vaguely thought there was a possibility of cooperation, I haven''t thought of how to take advantage of this, it''s really remarkable."0Correct Lelouch turned his back to Char and disdainfully brushed his mouth, when he turned around, his face had been replaced with a sincere smile, "Mr. Frontal, you''ve been doing underground work for so many years, there is a lot I can learn from you."0Correct "There is no need to comfort me, I know myself, the future is for you young people." Char waved his hand expansively, "I can find where Captain Quattro is and contact him. I have accumulated some available channels after all these years."0Correct "Then I''ll trouble you." Lelouch didn''t dwell on this, "I can foresee that the Black Knights are about to have a big opportunity, and we are a big step closer to our ultimate goal."0Correct "Lelouch, you are truly one of the smartest people I''ve ever met, and I probably shouldn''t say that." Char posed as if he was imparting life lessons, "But I hope you won''t let your sense of other factors interfere with our grand plan for revenge. Suzaku Kururugi is still a knight of the round table of Britannia after all, and his feelings for Princess Euphemia are not ordinary."0Correct "I don''t need you to say this. I certainly understand it." Lelouch''s voice was incomparably cold, "He is a very good source of information, and I will use him if necessary."0Correct Char nodded gratefully at his words.0Correct "Now that we''re done with business, let''s relax a bit." Lelouch took out a chess set from under the table and put it on the table, confidently setting the black pieces in front of himself, "Mr. Franto, are you interested in playing a game with me?"0Correct Half an hour later, Char wiped the sweat vaguely visible on his forehead, pushed down his king helplessly, and let out a long breath, "Give up."0Correct The corners of Lelouch''s mouth rose slightly, and as usual, he extended his hand to shake Char''s hand, "Mr. Frontal, you are good enough to have fought me to this point. In my countless games so far, only one person has narrowly defeated me, so you don''t have to feel frustrated."0Correct Char could guess with his eyes closed that it was Schneizel, but he didn''t press the issue, instead, he kept lamenting, "The younger generation will suppress the older. You are also the second person who has beaten me so far, and I am convinced of my loss."0Correct "Mr. Franto, you''re indeed a master, I wonder who was the first one to win over you?" Lelouch showed extreme interest. He had always regarded chess as evidence of his superior intelligence, and could not see any master who was not his defeated master.0Correct "That''s what I met on the Anaheim Game Matchmaking Platform a few years ago." Char fell into a faint memory, "I remember that person''s ID was called ¡­ Woundwort."0Correct Sending Char off, Lelouch was alone in the room, quietly doing his deduction. As more and more forces joined this chessboard, the complexity of the situation would increase geometrically, and even with his intelligence, it would take quite a bit of brainpower.0Correct "Once Quattro is involved in, it''s only a matter of time before TITANS enters, and I lack access to the information of the Earth Federation. Frontal, you think this will limit me?" Lelouch sneered to himself, "But you''d never guess that I''ve already found a way to hook up with Char Aznable."0Correct After finishing his thought, Lelouch rearranged the chessboard and played with himself. Unable to find an opponent but to use himself as an opponent, invincibility makes him feel so lonely.0Correct "Full Frontal, Char Aznable, Quattro Bajeena, Paptimus Scirocco, Schneizel Britannia." His long fingers swept over the pieces, tapping on one with each name, "You are all in my calculating."0Correct He picked up the piece called Suzaku Kururugi and landed it heavily on the board, and barked at the king called Charles Britannia, "Checkmate."0Correct It was time to go back to see his sister after this game, but then Lelouch suddenly remembered the master Char had said and felt some itch to play. He turned on his computer and skillfully logged into the Anaheim Game Platform. As a chess enthusiast, he naturally had an account on the largest matchmaking platform in the solar system, and his rank was quite high. As for his win rate - it was a frightening zero loss.0Correct He typed in "Woundwort" in the search bar of players and was surprised to find this person online, so he initiated a match. "Woundwort" agreed readily and took the initiative to play black in the backhand.0Correct "Still so arrogant when you see my win rate?" Lelouch''s gaze became cold and penetrating, "You will pay for your arrogance."0Correct Half an hour later, Lelouch watched dumbfounded as his king was eaten by the opponent''s piece, so shocked that he couldn''t move and forgot to wipe the sweat on his forehead. The one called Woundwort quickly left the room, and the status showed that he was currently ¡ª0Correct "Playing gobang in the newbie area?!" Lelouch exclaimed in disbelief, "That''s ridiculous!"0Correct ¡­0Correct "Ahhhhhhhh, lost again!" Ange slapped the table unhappily, "Ade, help me get revenge!"0Correct "This is the newbie area already, my Miss Friday." Ade had hugged Ange on his legs for a long time. To be honest, his thighs are very sore, but he can not speak it out, otherwise, someone will blow up again, "I, the great Dr. Lingus, actually reduced to the point of playing gobang in the newbie area. If anyone knows it, I will be too ashamed to go out from now on."0Correct "Who knows it''s your account if you don''t talk about it? Who knows what does Woundwort means?" Ange squirmed restlessly, "Do you feel aggravated to avenge for me? Dr. Lingus is great, huh?"0Correct "Oh, if my various certificates are stacked up, they can be higher than your breasts." Ade sighed helplessly, took the mouse, and chose to launch another challenge. The opposite side probably thought that he could abuse this rookie again and happily accepted.0Correct The battle was so one-sided that it got a little boring. Ange just felt that the opposite side was so miserable that even she couldn''t look at it anymore, so she took the initiative to change the topic, "Is that guy just now very powerful?"0Correct "Quite impressive, didn''t you see that his win rate is 100%?" Ade absentmindedly clicked the mouse, "Though he is not as good as me."0Correct "Hmph, look how proud you are." Ange smiled proudly, "Ade, why are you so good?"0Correct "This kind of game, where all the rules can be digitized, is too easy for me, it''s just a comparison of calculations. At this point, Alice is much stronger than me." Ade casually threw down the mouse, "Won. I avenged you."0Correct "That''s awesome!" Ange lifted her head and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek, "One more, this time, I''ll win."0Correct An unbearable rookie matching was staged in front of his eyes, and what was even scarier was that Friday was even more "rookie-like" than the opposite side.0Correct "Don''t place your piece here, he''ll move like this." Realizing that Ange was going to lose again, for the sake of his account''s win rate, he couldn''t help but point out, "I''m quite surprised you can read chess."0Correct "I''m a princess, princess, do you understand?" Ange protested loudly, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "But I just know the rules. I can''t win anyone."0Correct "Sorry, I often forget that setting." Ade reached out and stroked the young girl''s soft hair, "But you do look a little more like a princess after the hair is grown longer."0Correct "What do you mean, like a princess? I''m a real princess!" Ange abruptly got up from Ade and ran to the other end of the room to open the luggage and rummage around, "You don''t believe me, do you? Wait for me, don''t turn around without my permission!"0Correct After Ade took the mouse and played the game quickly, the man he was playing chess with came back to challenge him, but he decisively refused. He browsed the news for a while, until the sound of Ange clapping her hands came from behind him.0Correct Ade turned his chair, and then froze. Princess Ange in front of him was wearing a blue and white dress in a gorgeous style, with white silk gloves covering her arms. Her legs were wrapped in pure white stockings, and her feet were wearing a pair of exquisite high heels, with a necklace around her neck and earrings in her ears, she looked noble and elegant.0Correct Ange picked up the hem of her skirt and gave a slight salute, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Ade."0Correct Ade''s mouth opened and closed like a fish that had landed, but he didn''t know what to say, and only after half a day did he come up with the sentence, "Why did you stuff this outfit inside the luggage?"0Correct "This is bought by Momoka. She said as a princess, I must prepare a dress like this." Ange said and spun around in place, the skirt in the centrifugal force slightly raised a little, "It''s too embarrassing to dress it at home, so I didn''t wear it. How about it? Ade, is it good-looking?"0Correct Ade nodded desperately, looking a bit silly. Ange could not help but elegantly cover her mouth and smile. The young lady moved lightly in front of him and stretched out her right hand to slightly scratch his cheek, the silky touch of the glove made him jolt.0Correct "We still have almost two hours before the meeting with Ms. Haman." Ange leaned down and whispered softly in his ear, "Her Highness is running low on intelligence again lately, can you educate her properly?"0Correct The opening of the young girl''s dress was very low, and the "white" in front of Ade made him feel dizzy. He swallowed hard with the sound of rapid breathing.0Correct "Don''t break the dress." These were the last words he remembered.0Correct So unsurprisingly, the meeting with Haman was postponed.0Correct "Let the Speaker of the Supreme Council wait for you for an hour." Haman looked at him with more than a sneer, "Lingus, what do you want to say?"0Correct "I''m not feeling well, please excuse me." Ade coughed awkwardly, "I''m really very sorry."0Correct "Not feeling well is a lie, you even forgot that I am NT, did something happen to lower your IQ?" Haman seemed to be in a good mood and smiled when she said, "Since your sorry is sincere, then forget it. After all, I also owe you a favor."0Correct Haman, who had been in a hurry to settle the civil unrest, was suddenly told that the culprit of the civil unrest had been killed, and the rest neither ran away nor surrendered and were overwhelmed by Haman''s harsh tactics. All of all sudden, P.L.A.N.T.''s political situation became unprecedentedly stable and united.0Correct After that, Haman immediately launched the public opinion campaign that she is good at, and under the bombardment of the paid Internet trolls, firstly, someone made the meme that all the chairmen of P.L.A.N.T. would die in an accident, and then she was hailed as the "great woman who broke the curse of the chairmen."0Correct She then took advantage of the public opinion to launch a vigorous rectification campaign in the government and the army, and with the help of Ade, she arrested all the suspected people he had an impression of, and replaced them with her own beloved.0Correct "You saved P.L.A.N.T. from a civil war, I owe you a great debt of gratitude." Haman''s voice was sincere, "I accept all of your conditions, and I will support you unconditionally when you need me."0Correct "Thank you." Ade also bowed his head sincerely. Any words would be superfluous at a time like this, Haman was a much higher ranked NT than Char and naturally understood how heavy the weight of these two words was.0Correct "For insurance reasons, I need to set up a liaison in the moon, preferably someone we can trust, so you can immediately contact me if there is an emergency." Haman suggested, "Lunamaria or Meyrin, you choose one."0Correct Ade answered decisively without thinking, "I want none of them. Can you give me a male liaison instead?" CH 114 Not Super Robot Wars at All ¨C Chapter 114 - xianxiaengine Lunar Capital, inside the P.L.A.N.T. embassy abroad. "How could I expect it to be you coming over! Haman is Haman, no matter what, I can''t learn this kind of political wisdom." Ade took the initiative to extend his right hand to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Mr. Waltfeld, first time meeting, I have heard a lot about you." "Nice to meet you, Dr. Lingus." Andrew Waltfeld and Ade shook hands vigorously. Waltfeld could not help but raise an eyebrow at Ade''s intimate call of "Speaker Haman", "I also find appropriate for Speaker Karn''s arrangement, Aisha and I have long wanted to retire, this kind of retirement work is just right for me ." "Doctor, welcome to come to my place for a cup of coffee, I have confidence in my own handicraft." Waltfeld let out a bright laugh, "By the way, my child can also have a playmate, she and Audrey get along very happily." Not far from the two, an energetic, less than ten years old girl is playing with Mineva, Ange and Waltfeld''s wife, Aisha watched them playing. Mineva looked excited and was chasing the young girl around the wide room in circles. The girl running in front raised her hands up in the air and her mouth shouted, "Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple~" "Ple is an orphan, we adopted her." Noticing Ade''s puzzled look, Waltfeld took the initiative to explain, "Elsa and I couldn''t have a child because of genetic problems, and when we were distressed, we happened to meet Ple. This child is so cute, is there a second choice but to adopt her?" "Of course not, I would choose the same if I were you." Ade replied with a smile, "Audrey really likes Ple a lot, and I''ll be sure to often bring her here to play with Ple." After that, the two discussed a bit more about their work, then Ade greeted Mineva and got ready to leave. "Bye, auntie and uncle." Mineva gave a very ladylike salute and then waved at Ple, "Ple, bye." "Audrey, goodbye! Goodbye, Brother Ade! Bye, Sister Ange!" Ple also said goodbye to them in good spirits, "Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple~" "Ade, is there something wrong with this kid''s IQ?" After leaving the embassy, Ange asked in a muttered whisper, "Tell this uncle that it''s better to hurry up and treat her while she''s still young, otherwise, it will be too late when she grows up, and her IQ will-" "-- IQ will become like you." Ade popped her on the head and leaned down to pick up Mineva, "Your Sister Ange didn''t take her medicine today." Ange covered her forehead with an exaggerated "ouch" and puffed up her mouth, "The last bit of IQ is also taken away by you, Ade, you are responsible." Mineva laughed happily at Ange''s comical appearance, wrapping her arms around Ade''s neck and rubbing his cheek affectionately. When they walked to the parking lot, Ade handed Mineva to Ange, walked to the side and took out his cell phone to make some calls, then came back and said to Ange, "I have something to do tonight and won''t be home for dinner, please tell them." "What is it?" Ange was instantly alerted, "With who? How many people? Male or female? Where are you going? What time will you be back?" "The heroines of this story have all made their debut, and absolutely no new characters will be added." Ade couldn''t help but laugh out loud and darted a quick kiss to the young girl''s lips, "It''s with Shin, Uraki, and the others, a party between men." "Oh, oh." Ange blushed, "Then, then you take care on the way." "Don''t kiss in front of the kids, I''m pissed!" Mineva protested unhappily, "Uncle Ade, I want one too!" "Then one for you, too." Ade kissed on the little girl''s bare forehead as well, "Mineva, be good." "Well, that''s more like it." The little girl nodded her head in a pretend mature manner, then smiled cheekily. Then Ange waited in the parking lot until Uraki showed up in his car before taking Mineva away with her at ease. "Uraki, let''s go to Kira''s house first, they''re closer." Ade got into the passenger side, casually said hello, and buckled himself up in a regular manner, "I haven''t thought about what to eat tonight, do you have any ideas?" "Even if it''s your treat, we shouldn''t let you spend too much." Uraki made a thoughtful face, "But it can''t be too shabby too, or you''ll be too humiliated, doctor." "You think too much." Ade laughed, "Money is not a problem, just tell me what''s a good place for a party." "By the way, I remembered a barbecue that I read someone''s recommendation online earlier." Uraki said while driving, "It says it''s very hygienic and tastes good, it''s just a little far away, in the next city." "That''s fine, it won''t take long to drive there anyway." Ade thought about it and took out his phone, "What''s the name?" "Shangri-La BBQ." "¡­it''s said this restaurant was almost seized because of child labor. The boss claimed that it was a relative''s child, and got rid of the penalty," Ade scrolled through the comments of this restaurant, "Many comments also said the owner is a beautiful woman, but they were not allowed to take pictures, so I don''t know if it''s true. Well, let''s go with this one, I''ll book a table." Kira''s home is not far away. By the time Ade finished the phone call, they have almost arrived at Kira''s door. The two of them rang the doorbell and Kira came out to open the door and take them in. "Doctor, Uraki, you''re here." Cagalli was sitting in the living room watching a video on babywearing, when she saw them enter, she put down the tablet she was holding and greeted them, "I¡ª" "Just sit down, you don''t have to get up." Ade quickly waved his hand to stop her. Cagalli''s belly was already quite large and it wasn''t that easy to move around in maternity clothes. "Do you want to listen to it, Doctor? It''s okay." Cagalli noticed the look Ade cast on her belly and gave Ade a smile full of maternal glory, "They are both very naughty, they kick me a lot, it can be fun." Ade was actually quite curious. But Kira was staring at him with a nervous look, making him give up on the idea. "No need, it''s not like I''m Mineva," Ade said graciously, and Kira quietly sighed in relief. "Doctor, you don''t have to envy me, you can have your own child," Cagalli tenderly touched her stomach, "with, uh, with ¡­" "Doctor, Uraki, let''s hurry up and get going, go early and come back early." Kira interrupted, "I''m still a little uneasy about leaving Cagalli home alone." Ade also felt that he had not considered properly to left the pregnant Cagalli alone at home. While thinking of a way out, Uraki took the initiative and said, "Actually, the doctor has already told me to let Lucette come to accompany Cagalli. She is on her way and will be here in a while." Kira threw a grateful look at Ade, while Ade sighed silently in his heart. He had made a trustworthy friend, and he couldn''t help but feel a little guilty about having to make him do something like "that" later. After Lucette''s arrival, the three set off again. The next people to pick up were Shinn and Kamille, both of whom happened to be at Chang Wufei''s house at this time. When the car drove to the neighborhood, Kira found the target at a glance. By the sidewalk, Shinn was helping Chang Wufei to cross the street, while Kamille walking behind them with his head tilted. "Is that good?" Kira looked at the scene and frowned, "Kamille''s a bit much." "He needs to be taught." Ade shrugged, "As long as you won''t beat him to death, you can beat him until he realized his fault." The trio parked across the road and Chang Wufei was reprimanding Kamille when they found Shinn. "How can you learn my way of justice when you can''t even do the basic etiquette of respecting the old?" Chang Wufei showed a look of dismay and pointed to Shinn who was standing aside, "Look at him and then look at you, have you ever thought about why the gap between being a human being is so big?" "What does this have to do with justice? Old man, you''re out of your mind." Kamille pouted and turned his head away, "Why didn''t you mention justice or something when you beat me up? You cunning adults have a double standard." Seeing Kamille''s appearance, Chang Wufei couldn''t help but feel a wave of anger rising in his heart. He rolled up his sleeves and gave Kamille a shoulder slam, while his mouth shouted, "Let the old man teach you what is justice." This fall is a little hard, Kamille struggling to stand up when still a little unstable. Shinn rushed forward to support him, and patted the dust off his body, "Grandpa wants you to be good, so he is a little strict to you." "Humph, he wants me to be good? He simply doesn''t like me." Kamille complained in a small voice, but his tone had softened, "Brother Shinn, thanks." "What are friends, that''s nothing." Shinn smiled and patted Kamille on the shoulder, "Seeing you reminds me of myself back then. Adrien-san was much more ruthless than grandpa is now. That was a mental attack, almost psych me out in front of Mayu." "I get it." Kamille nodded with some backwardness, "That person is an advanced NT. He can forcefully drill into your brain and lecture to you. It is just too scary." "It seems you are more afraid of the doctor and not so much of me." Chang Wufei sneered, "I should let the Doctor resonate with you, it should be more effective." "Mr. Chang, I''m sorry!" Kamille shouted. At this point, the three walked up. Kamille of course had long felt Ade coming and watched him shiver. Watching this, Shinn felt both funny and annoying. Ade and Chang Wufei exchanged a look that only they understood, and then took Shinn and Kamille to the car. Uraki drove on to the next city, with Kamille sitting in the back between Kira and Shinn. Kira was indoctrinating him with his various ideas of love and peace, and Ade could sense that Kamille did not believe in this, but could not say anything in front of Ade and Shinn, so he had to listen in silence. Sometime later, Uraki followed the navigation around and finally found the destination. They saw a small signboard written "Shangri-La BBQ" in a distance. Kamille suddenly exclaimed, "They are a lot of NTs!" When the five of them walked into the restaurant, a brown-haired teenager who looked like he was only 13 or 14 shouted, "Sister Sayla, we have customers!" A few moments later, a charming young woman came out of the restaurant, She had short, beautiful blonde hair, looking at her appearance about between 2 and 3 years old. The young blonde woman obviously froze for a moment when she saw Ade, and then pretended as if nothing happened and asked, "Do you have an appointment?" Kamille immediately sensed that the other party knew Ade and whispered to Shinn, "Oh, it''s really good to be famous. Wherever you are, there are always beautiful women who know you. We might even get a discount at the checkout later." They found a box to sit down and order food, Kamille heard that it was Ade who treats, then he immediately ordered the most expensive food. "It''s barbecue, Kamille, it won''t cost the doctor much money no matter how much food you order." Uraki felt speechless and reminded him, "By the way, order a few more pork loin for the Doctor. Shinn, do you want some?" "Brother Uraki!" Shinn blushed with shame, "I, I''ll just taste a little." "I won''t need it." Kira laughed and shook his head, "I can''t eat it at all. It''s poison to me." "It''s not time for Shinn to eat pork loin yet, is it? You''re a Coordinator." Ade looked at Shinn weirdly, then dawned on him, "Sometimes, something may happen because of improper control, the main reason for this phenomenon is lack of experience and lack of appropriate skills. It''s like swimming, a person who can''t swim will be submerged in the deep water ¡­" "That''s enough of you!" Kamille protested loudly with dissatisfaction, "Please consider the feelings of a child like me!" After ordering, they chatted while waiting for the food to be served. The restaurant was quite efficient, and the food was almost ready in a while. The people responsible for serving the food were all 13 or 14 years old children. "Please enjoy your meal." The brown-haired teenager put the last plate down. Kamille jumped at the chance to strike up a conversation, and was stopped by Ade with a stern look. "Judau, come help, we''re short-handed over here!" Someone outside shouted. "Coming, Beecha!" The brown-haired teenager bowed to Ade and turned around sharply to run out. "It''s okay to ask, right? Don''t you think it''s strange, Doctor?" Kamille looked at Ade unconvincingly, "It''s surprising that all these little kids are NTs. Don''t you feel curious about it?" "So what if they are NTs?" Ade calmly locked eyes with him, "They have their lives, we have no right to pull these people into our world. Even if that little kid named Judau just now is a super ACE, I''m not qualified to dominate his life." "Humph, you only know to lecture me," Kamille complained and then moved his attention to the food, "Let''s eat!" Everyone started eating and drinking, joking and laughing. After the meal, Ade coughed. They realized that Ade was finally going to start talking about business and quickly quieted down. "My friends, you already have a family and even children, you shouldn''t take risks in this situation. Just like that teenager who served food just now and that beautiful restaurant owner, they will never be involved in dangers again." Ade looked complicated, "This statement may be hypocritical, but from a selfish point of view, I actually do not want to drag you guys down again." They did not interrupt and listened to him carefully. "I can''t stop thinking about how I''m going to face Cagalli and the two kids if something happens to Kira. What would I tell Mayu and Stella if Shinn didn''t come back? I don''t even know how to tell Lucette that I want Uraki to go with me, you''ve only been married." Ade bowed his head in shame, "But you are all I can count on, please forgive me for shamelessly learning Char to use those around me by any means necessary." "What are you talking about, Doctor?" Uraki scratched his head, "I wouldn''t be who I am without you." "This world is about to undergo a change, a change that will sweep through all of human society, and I, Adrien Lingus, want to turn it into what I want it to be." Ade met each person in turn with a sincere look, "And for that, I need your strength." The conversation gets a little bigger, and they looked at Ade a little seriously. "Loran and Diana will only provide funding behind the scenes, and our little team will be alone against the world. I cannot even tell you the full extent of the plan, yet you must faithfully carry out my every command." Ade paused, "I''m sorry, that''s all I can say right now, would you all like to join as Gundam pilots?" "The world the Doctor expects must be a gentle one, and I hope that Haruka and Sora can live in that kind of world." Kira smiled at him, "Please let my power come in handy." "But I still don''t want to be separated from Mayu and Stella." Shinn rubbed his nose in distress. Ade was about to agree, then Shinn continued, "So can I bring them along? As you know, Adrien-san, Mayu and Stella are no ordinary girls." "And we need some people to maintain and repair Gundams. You must have more important things, Doctor, that Lucette can help with." Uraki patted his chest, "You don''t need to ask about the choice of me. I''m in." "You guys, at least hesitate a little!" Ade let out a bitter laugh, only to feel his heart warm as if there was a flame, "Thank you, really, thank you." "I''m still hesitating!" Kamille knocked on the table, "It''s suspicious to not even tell what you''re going to do, and it''s blowing up too big to say change the world!" "You have no choice, mandatory participation." Ade glanced at him expressionlessly, "That''s what Quattro threw you at me for. Having some self-awareness!" "Hey, are you taking this personally?" Kamille gasped a little as he felt the powerful oppression in his consciousness. "Of course!" Ade replied rightfully, "And you know why I''m targeting you, right?" "¡­ Sorry." Kamille suddenly became upset. Shinn patted him on the back to comfort him. "DX and Villkiss have been exposed, we can''t use them, so they will be responsible for holding down the moon. Our ship is a forty-year-old warship, and the captain is not a beautiful big sister but a bad-tasted old man. The only good news is that there is a beautiful girl navigator, but you all have a girlfriend or wife, so don''t make a play for her." Ade ignored Kamille who was shouting "I don''t have a girlfriend", "For the same reason, other MSs can''t be used neither. I will prepare brand new Gundams for you, and you need to get used to them again." Hearing that there are new Gundams, they looked a little excited. "You don''t have one, you keep driving The-O." Ade dismissed someone''s enthusiasm at once, "At most, I''ll help you retrofit it. You''re not qualified to drive Gundam now." Kamille shriveled up at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the other three let out good-natured laughter. "Please allow me to say again, thank you." Ade held out his hand and placed it right in the middle of the table as the other few folded theirs over his, "Welcome to Celestial Being." Celestial Being CH 115 Chapter 115: Witch and Paramecium (Q) CH 116 Chapter 116: There''s a Traitor Among Us 0 Correct Six light sources lit up out of nothing in the silent darkness. the SOUND ONLY sign indicated that this was a teleconference in progress. 0 Correct "Wait, six?" Charles'' eloquent and powerful voice rang out, "Who will explain who the extra one is?" 0 Correct "The first meeting of U.C. 0087." Diana continued the process, "A special incident was temporarily inserted before the meeting began, and I, as a guarantor, recommend Adrien Lingus to join SEELE. following the customary practice, he has no right to speak, the voting will now begin in order of sequence." 0 Correct Silence. 0 Correct "The First Sequence, Aeolia Schenberg abstains." In the Second Sequence, Diana made a comment for Aeolia, "I am in favor. His loyalty is guaranteed by me, and his ability is unquestionable. End of statement." 0 Correct "I object." In the Third Sequence, Charles Britannia said in a deep voice, "This person is young and naive. As a person, he is greedy for women and lust without self-control; as an NT, he is mentally unstable. The statement is over." 0 Correct "I abstain." In the Fourth Sequence, Cardeas Vist said, "I don''t know him, so I don''t speak. My statement is over." 0 Correct "I second that." In the Fifth Sequence, Ikari Gendou concluded, "He made a significant contribution to the protection of the Final Dogma during the Junius 7 crashing event, and his personal abilities are worthy of expectation, there is no reason to oppose. End of statement." 0 Correct "Two votes in favor, one against and two abstentions, the recommendation passes. Adrien Lingus officially joins SEELE from this meeting, tentatively designated as the Sixth Sequence. This thing is over, let''s continue the meeting." Diana''s voice still sounded emotionless, "No abnormalities were found this week." 0 Correct "Ditto." Number Three to Number Five said the exact same thing in turn. 0 Correct "Isn''t the absence of anomalies for decades the biggest anomaly?" Ade came up completely out of the box, "The first step of Aeolia''s plan - eliminating angels - hasn''t progressed for decades, hasn''t anyone ever thought that something went wrong with the plan itself?" 0 Correct "You don''t need to make your presence known as soon as you join." Charles said indifferently, "That''s why I''m against such young people joining." 0 Correct "Angels'' goal was to find their father, Adam, and why they didn''t attack TOKYO-3¡­ that''s of course because they found out that it wasn''t Adam but Lilith down there." Ade ignored him and continued to speak on his own, "Before determining the location of Adam, no angels will foolishly come out to be the targets. Does not a person here realize it?" 0 Correct Silence. 0 Correct "I can understand that the other people don''t know it, but Charles, you have Geass and Code, and you have a good relationship with Lilith, don''t you know it?" Ade stopped for a moment without receiving an answer, "So can someone tell me who has Adam now?" 0 Correct After another moment of silence, Ikari Gendou spoke up, "Only Aeolia knows where Adam is, and he won''t tell us." 0 Correct "So let''s discuss the next question, why Aeolia hasn''t been talking." Ade seemed a little unrelenting, "I''ve listened to all the minutes of the meetings all over again, and since U.C. 0056, the year the Earth-Moon War ended, Aeolia''s vocal pattern for the closing words of each meeting has started to become exactly the same. In other words, he was playing recording since U.C. 0056." 0 Correct "Are you trying to say that Aeolia hasn''t been in a meeting since then?" Vist was shocked, "That''s just ¡­ appalling." 0 Correct "According to Diana, logging into this conference room requires a password that only the person knows and is not allowed to be recorded in any way." Ade paused for a moment, giving everyone time to think, "So the conclusion is in, there''s a traitor among us. I''ll give everyone a minute to think about it. If you''re the traitor, you can confess your crime during this time." 0 Correct A minute passed, unsurprisingly, in silence. 0 Correct "Then I''ll just have to guess for myself." Ade gave a very obvious laugh, which produced a little pressure to someone in the dark, "Diana is Aeolia''s handpicked successor, so exclude her suspicion. In U.C. 0056, Cardeas was twenty years old, Cardeas''s guarantor, his grandfather was seventy-three years old, Ikari Gendou was seventeen years old, Ikari Gendou''s guarantor, Charles was thirty-one years old, and Charles'' guarantor, his father was already dead at that time." 0 Correct He paused again to give everyone time to confirm the accuracy of the data and understand the implications. 0 Correct "So, can we make this inference," Ade coughed for solemnity, "In terms of age, Charles is the most likely to have committed the crime?" 0 Correct "Charles, do you have anything to say?" Diana was clearly on Ade''s side. 0 Correct "Nonsense." Charles snorted disdainfully, "I have no motive, and you have no proof." 0 Correct Ade did not aggressively pursue the question, and the others did not rashly express their views. The topic seemed to just end, and this meeting ended in a not very pleasant atmosphere. 0 Correct "All for the ultimate dialogue." Aeolia''s voice rang out as it had for decades, and then the six light sources dimmed at the same time. 0 Correct "Lingus was vouched for by Diana to join SEELE," Charles said to those around him as he took off his headphones, "He knows it, brother, we''re exposed." 0 Correct "It''s really a pain to deal with smart people," V.V. tilted his head to look at his brother, who was much taller than him, "What are you going to do?" 0 Correct "Start early." Charles'' eyes looked stern, "It can all be over before Lingus does anything superfluous." 0 Correct "We finally betrayed." V.V. made a sighing expression that didn''t match his appearance at all. 0 Correct "Aeolia''s plan was simply wrong, we just replaced it with the correct version." Charles sneered in a low voice, "Besides, except for Diana, who else hasn''t betrayed?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "I hope Frontal hasn''t betrayed me, he''s a rare quality client and quality source of information." In a luxurious parlor, Wang Liu Mei took out a small mirror from her bag to fix her makeup before the guests arrived, "Hong Long, do you think so?" 0 Correct "Yes." The young man behind her was respectful and looked like a bodyguard. 0 Correct "For the sake of the family''s cash flow and favors, I even have to meet this kind of man in person." Wang Liu Mei put away her cosmetics and glanced contemptuously at Hong Long, "If you were a little more useful ¡­" 0 Correct Hong Long bowed his head in shame. 0 Correct A short time later, a dark-haired man with sunglasses entered the parlor, followed by a young girl also with sunglasses and wearing a maid''s outfit. 0 Correct As a socialite, Wang Liu Mei immediately saw that the man''s sunglasses, tie, suit, and shoes were all top luxury brands, and his body seemed to say "I''m rich." 0 Correct "You must be the one that Mr. Frontal guaranteed to recommend, right? Are you also Chinese?" Wang Liu Mei stood up with a formulaic smile on her face as she spoke Chinese, and offered her hand, "May I ask your name?" 0 Correct "Bun hair, double braids, good, good, good! Red cheongsam with white silk gloves, sophisticated!" The sunglasses man took her hand in his and looked as if he couldn''t let go, "Miss Wang, you''re too polite, just call me Yang." 0 Correct "Hello, Mr. Yang." Wang Liu Mei tried her best to not vomit, taking a lot of effort to pull her hand out. If this man was not introduced by Frontal with all his credibility, she now had asked Hong Long to throw this person out, "Mr. Yang, what industry are you in?" 0 Correct "I''m running a chicken farm, just call me Farm Manager Yang." The sunglasses man sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, the maid stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders, "Our chicken farm is very big, I''m not going to lie, it takes an hour to drive from one end to the other with a tractor." 0 Correct "Farm Manager Yang, you''re really young and talented, Mr. Franto has always praised you." Although the other party was wearing sunglasses, Wang Liu Mei could still feel the other party''s eyes wandering around her breasts and thighs, and couldn''t help but feel another wave of nausea, "Your maid is also a rare beauty, right? I am a little ashamed of myself." 0 Pending "Of course! This chick is top-ranking! Look at her big tits! Do you know how much money I spent on her?" Yang took the glass of water on the table and drained it, then slammed the glass heavily on the table, "But money is not a problem, I''m so poor that I have only money left. Emptiness, emptiness! Do you understand?" 0 Correct "A young and promising entrepreneur like you must have some different pursuits." Wang Liu Mei had never heard of any farm manager who could be so rich. Undoubtedly, this man must be some rich man''s son and comes out to look for fun. She did not mind maliciously raising the price, "May I know what kind of information you want to buy?" 0 Correct "I want the whereabouts of this woman." Farm Manager Yang took out a photo from his arms and threw it on the table, "I repeat, money is not a problem." 0 Correct Wang Liu Mei picked up the photo and looked at it, the photo was blurred, from the angle, it seemed to be taken secretly. In the middle of the image was a beautiful woman with long green hair, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, may I ask who this is?" 0 Correct "It is said to be Lingus'' mistress." Farm Manager Yang laughed, "I have played everything, but I haven''t played the celebrity''s wife. I want to try." 0 Correct Wang Liu Mei gloated in her heart for his life that was about to end. In her opinion, what this so-called "Farm Manager Yang" is doing is no different from suicide. 0 Correct "There is no problem, you can wait for good news, the Wang family''s intellectual ability is trustworthy." Wang Liu Mei put away the photo with a confident smile, "It''s just that this involves Lingus, you know, he is a very famous big shot. I''m afraid the price will be ¡­" 0 Correct "How many times have I told you? Money is not an issue! You despise me?" Farm Manager Yang was annoyed to raise the volume and tone of voice, waving his arms excitedly, "Are Lingus rich? I''m as rich as he is! Just tell me how much it is, if I beat a bargain, I will become a puppy!" 0 Correct Wang Liu Mei laughed in her heart, but made an embarrassed expression on her face, and then offered a rather substantial number. 0 Correct "Small money!" Farm Manager Yang looked a little surprised but immediately made as if nothing happened. He rubbed his hands towards the maid behind him, "Too cheap!" 0 Correct The maid took out the bearer check from her pocket, wrote the number quoted by the other party, and then Hong Long took the initiative to go forward and take it. 0 Correct Wang Liu Mei took the check from Hong Long''s hand and checked it, couldn''t help but smile and extend her hand again, "Farm Manager Yang, I wish us good cooperation." 0 Correct "Of course!" When Farm Manager Yang just touched the other party''s glove, Wang Liu Mei darted her hand back, and he withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, happy cooperation, happy cooperation." 0 Correct After discussing some more details, Farm Manager Yang left with his maid. Until they returned to the suite of the hotel, where they were staying before, they took off their sunglasses. 0 Correct Momoka covered her stomach and laughed so hard that she shivered and couldn''t catch her breath, "Sorry, sorry, Ade-san, hahaha, I was out of order, out of order, hahaha." 0 Correct "It''s okay, you can laugh." Ade looked into the mirror to remove the disguise on his face, a technique he learned from Char, "I don''t want to pretend to be a retarded thug, but unfortunately, C.C.''s identity is too sensitive, and this makes the most sense. Wang Liu Mei must be wondering why did Frontal introduce such a person to her and look down on him. Haha." 0 Correct "So that''s how we can find Miss C.C.?" Momoka asked curiously, "We''ve seen several of those people in the past few days." 0 Correct "Cast a wide net to catch more fish, there''s always one to hit. She''s been around Earth for so many years before, her hiding skills are definitely perfect, but her beauty is the biggest break." Ade finished removing his makeup and looked at Miss Maid, "By the way, can you beat her?" 0 Correct "Judging from how Miss C.C. and Her Highness Angelise fought, I''m afraid I''m no match for her." Momoka showed an apologetic expression, "Ade-san, I''m really sorry for not being able to help." 0 Correct "It''s fine, so let''s drug her." He shrugged his shoulders indifferently. 0 Correct He then took out the various information he had received earlier and organized his speculations on C.C.''s whereabouts. From the time she took the flight from the moon to Earth, there were traces at first, but from a certain point onwards, there was no trace at all, and it was obvious that she was deliberately avoiding tracing. But it does not matter, he has the money, energy, intelligence, and perseverance, he will be able to find clues. 0 Correct Due to her IQ or some unknown reason, Ange couldn''t use the boson jumping function well. Sometimes, it works; and sometimes, it does not work. Villkiss and DX is now the biggest reliance on the moon, for insurance purposes, she and Garrod must stay there, and Momoka became Ade''s only choice. In fact, according to his original idea, he didn''t want to make any woman with him, but the maid lady has been the most compromised choice under multiple weighing. 0 Correct "Take care of his life, protect his safety, keep an eye on him to prevent him from looking for women, and when necessary ¡­ they are the works of the princess''s exclusive maid, Momoka, you must understand it." This was what Ange told Momoka. Of course, Ade did not intend to use the last right. 0 Correct As for staying safe at home and waiting for news from C.C.? He just couldn''t do it. 0 Correct After eating the dinner delivered by room service, he returned to his room to deal with related matters of Celestial Being and SEELE, and the maid lady stayed alone in the living room. Originally, they had booked a suite with two bedrooms, but Momoka was adamant that for security reasons, either they sleep together or she sleeps in the living room, so now she sleeps in the living room. 0 Correct By the early morning, Ade figured it was about time on the moon side and made a video call to Lacus. 0 Correct "The day before and yesterday, you called Ange first, and the day before and today, you call me first, You can use this balancing act well now." The background behind Lacus on the screen is her bedroom, "And then you stay up until this hour every day to call me, are you trying to look pathetic so I can feel sorry for you?" 0 Correct "I stay up until this hour because we have a time difference." He returned without changing his look, "I won''t have to stay up when I change time zones." 0 Correct "From being sullen all day to now knowing to call home every day, are you afraid I''ll run away too?" Lacus smiled to herself, "Don''t worry, as I told you before, I''m tied to you, I can''t run away anyway." 0 Correct "That''s not what I meant ¡­" 0 Correct "I know that''s not what you meant, I just couldn''t help but say that." Lacus relaxed and supported her cheek on the back of her hand, "You are my first love, I have absolutely no experience on how to fall in love yet, and even less on this ¡­ kind of relationship." 0 Correct He certainly understands what she means, according to his previous habit, he should play dumb now and wait for the other party to take the initiative. But now he understands. Even if he said the wrong words, it was better than saying nothing, "Your birthday is the fifth of the next month, I must go back at that time." 0 Correct "I have to say, from being so cold to being so enthusiastic, I seem to feel like I''m on the verge of developing Stockholm syndrome." Lacus looked at him with a smirk, "Ade, is this in your calculations too?" 0 Correct "How can I play tricks to you?" He shook his head wistfully, "Never in the past, and never in the future." 0 Correct Lacus also seemed to remember something, and sighed lightly in silence. 0 Correct "I feel guilty when I''m with you and C.C., it weighs me down a bit, so I can''t help but feel a little more relaxed when I escape to Ange." He seriously looked straight into Lacus''s eyes, "This is not right, I am already scum, scum have to carry the guilt all the time, it is because escaping is what makes people who are already hurt even more hurt." 0 Correct "Why do you say it to me?" Lacus lowered her head, her pretty pink hair covering her face, "Doesn''t that make you look even more scum?" 0 Correct "Communication is the first step to change." He stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed the screen, "I also know it''s hard to have a happy ending, but it will never happen if I don''t try. There may be a billion to one chance if I try my best?" 0 Correct "One in a billion ¡­" Lacus looked up at him and suddenly showed a speechless expression, "Stop it, Ade, this action makes you look like a pervert." 0 Correct "My existence itself is almost that probable, it might be okay to succeed once more, right?" He laughed awkwardly and withdrew his fingers, "Miracles and magic are real." 0 Correct Lacus lifted the hair behind her ear and took a deep breath, "¡­ I''ll hang up now, you still have to call Ange. It''s late there, go to bed early." 0 Correct He then made another video call to Ange and it was much easier on this end. When it was all over, he yawned and lay down wearily on his bed, dialing a number on his phone and putting it on speakerphone by his pillow. 0 Correct "It''s so hard to have a harem." He buried his face in the pillow, "Especially when I''m not even very good at relationships yet." 0 Correct "Ade, can the word self-made be used in this scenario?" A voice came from the phone. 0 Correct "It can." He exhaled, "I''m bringing trouble to myself, self-inflicted, etc., you can use them all." 0 Correct "¡­ go to bed early, it''s already very late." The voice said, "With a full schedule every day, Ade, you need to keep your energy up." "Well, I need to work harder too." He gave another big yawn and then closed his eyes, "Good night, Alice." CH 117 Chapter 117: Zaku Rising 0 Correct "Japan, it''s really Japan." In the back seat of the car, Ade was talking to Momoka with a frustrated look, "I''d rather her hide in TITANS headquarters than for her to see running to Japan, why here ¡­" 0 Correct "Lingus, my precise senses tell me that your heart is extremely apprehensive now. Could it be that you already have a premonition of the bad unfolding that is coming?" Char, who was driving, said in a gloating tone, "A man who can talk and laugh even in front of Embryo is now terrified like this, what a treat for me." 0 Correct "Not counting Mineva and your mother, have you ever really fallen in love with any woman? Including Lalah Sune." Ade sneered relentlessly, "If not, please shut up and don''t comment on areas you don''t understand." 0 Correct Char gave a displeased "tsk" and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "You cast so many nets, but only Wang Liu Mei provided valuable information in the end." 0 Correct "This woman is indeed powerful." Ade also did not bother to continue to sneer at him, but followed his words down, "The whole Wang family can maintain the original size to last until now, is all because of her own strength. If we can figure out what she really wants, we can''t consider developing her into Celestial Being''s downline. We''re still too weak alone." 0 Correct "If it was six months ago, I might have thought you were lusting after Wang Liu Mei''s beauty." Char relentlessly circled the topic back, "Now with my precise senses, I can be sure¡ª" 0 Correct "So you''ve actually been showing off your ''precise senses'' since just now?" Ade finally noticed the keyword in the other person''s words, it seems he was holding a grudge about his inability to open a mind space chat room, "Let me put it frankly, your judgment of Lelouch''s sister is wrong. She shouldn''t be at the same level as me and Tiffa." 0 Correct "Why do you think so?" Char''s tone was flat, but Ade could still feel the disbelief in it. 0 Correct "Put my experience aside, Tiffa is the strongest NT in her universe, how is it possible for an NT to suddenly pop up and reach her level?" Ade explained confidently, "I think with your ''precise senses'', all NTs whose strengthen is stronger than Scirocco should all be about the same in your opinion. Don''t you still think you are 50-50 with Haman?" 0 Correct "Don''t we?" Char asked, then froze for a moment before responding, "Wait, did you just call her ''Haman''? When did you and she become so familiar?" 0 Correct Ade decisively turned his head to chat with the maid lady, and Momoka covered her mouth and laughed softly. 0 Correct Char thought about it and realized he was being nosy, sighing in self-interest, "When you see Lelouch later, if you see something wrong, opening the mind space chat room with me." 0 Correct "You are one of the biggest patrons of the Black Knights, right?" Ade looked at Char in the rearview mirror, "Your control over this organization is too low, right?" 0 Correct "Lelouch is very wary of others and has almost completely controlled the Black Knights. Including my own several identities, no one can penetrate in." Char showed a rare expression of some frustration, "He is not easy to deal with. You should be careful." 0 Correct Shortly after, the car drove to an abandoned factory building. This place had been bought by Char as the usual place for secret meetings with Lelouch. Char led him and Momoka into the abandoned factory, only to see two people already waiting inside. 0 Correct The leader was a slender man with a black cloak and a black full-covering helmet, and it was ZERO, the leader of the Black Knights, Behind him was a young woman with short red hair, who seemed to be his bodyguard. 0 Correct The short-haired girl looked at Momoka, who looked like a junior high school student but was dressed as a maid, with surprise, and then stared at Ade with a look of disdain. 0 Correct "Frontal, you''re late." ZERO spoke through his mask and sounded jarred, "This is Londo Bell''s quarters and it''s not safe for me, so let''s hurry." 0 Correct "Excuse me, ZERO," Char nodded to him in greeting, "This is Mr. Yang from China that I told you about before, he wants to get information from us and doesn''t mind paying a price for it." 0 Correct "Hello." Ade stepped forward and also greeted, "I heard from Mr. Franto that the Black Knights are omnipotent in Japan, I''m sure Lord ZERO will be able to grant my small wish." 0 Correct "No need to compliment me, there is only Frontal I trust." ZERO responded coldly, "The Black Knights are a resistance organization that fights for ideals and beliefs, not mercenary jackals who will do anything for money, whether I can satisfy you depends on whether your request is against my principles. So tell me, what do you want?" 0 Correct The short-haired girl behind ZERO looked at her leader with longing in her eyes after hearing his words. 0 Correct Ade didn''t care about what the other party said. He fished out a photo from his pocket and handed it over, "I want to find this woman." 0 Correct ZERO took the photo and only glanced at it before handing it back to Ade, "This woman does not exist in the Black Knights. If she is at another place, Frontal should be able to help you find her." 0 Correct Although Ade couldn''t see his expression, his tone was flat without a trace of ups and downs, not like a lie. 0 Correct Seeing that the clue is about to be broken, Ade raised the photo again, "The photo is not very clear, you look carefully at her face again. Maybe she dyed her hair from green to another color?" 0 Correct "I''ve already looked carefully, I''m pretty sure I don''t recognize her, there''s no point in talking any further. Frontal, it''s not safe here, I''ll go back first." ZERO waved his hand to Char and turned around and marched in the direction of the back door, "Kallen, let''s go." 0 Correct It wasn''t until ZERO and the others were far away and only the three of them were left in the plant that Char noticed that Ade didn''t seem quite right. 0 Correct "Lingus, your face is pale, what happened?" Char saw Ade did not respond, pulled down his sunglasses, and gave the maid a wink, "You can look again when the trail is broken, you are not a man to be discouraged like this." 0 Correct Momoka took Ade''s hand and put her finger on his pulse, and within a moment, she let out an alarming cry, "Ade-san, your heart is beating so fast!" 0 Correct "¡­ I''m fine." Returning to his senses, Ade smiled at Momoka as if nothing was wrong, "Lelouch lied, he has seen C.C." 0 Correct "Your NT ability is already this strong?" Char immediately denied himself again after a slight hesitation, "No, it''s that woman?" 0 Correct "I deliberately stood the photo up to show her, she looked at it curiously when she heard the green hair, and her eyelids jumped after seeing the person on the photo, this reaction is definitely a recognition." Ade took several deep breaths to calm himself down, "It''s okay, I believe her." 0 Correct Char, who has relationships with countless young girls, instantly understood what Ade meant. He raised his eyebrows to incite Ade, "What''s the use of believing? She may have done what you did before." 0 Correct Ade was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath, "Then I have to choose to forgive her¡­" 0 Correct Char thought for a moment and shook his head, "I really don''t understand." 0 Correct They left in the car, and on the way, Char could feel Ade''s mental state was not too stable, so he tried to change the topic to divert his attention, "So far, Bright and I are getting more and more attention from Marcenas. Originally, there was only one ACE on the opposite side, and I had Amuro claim to be sick and go home to rest. But the opposite side recently recruited a new ACE, it seems like it''s time to call Amuro back." 0 Correct "What about Britannia''s attitude?" Ade also tried to steady his mind, "I remember the current governor is Euphemia, right? She just watches you screw around on her turf?" 0 Correct "No matter what, Britannia is a member of the Earth Federation, and this is not the homeland but a colony, so the Prime Minister''s order works here." Char smiled faintly, "Besides, Princess Euphemia is just a naive girl." 0 Correct "And then you deceived her." Ade whispered, "The same pink, but this one is much easy to deal with." 0 Correct Momoka seemed to hear that and gave Ade a knowing smile, but Ade trusted her that she wouldn''t report it to Lacus. 0 Correct "The only variable is the Knights of the Round Table." Char continued while driving, "I just got the inside scoop. Suzaku Kururugi has been stripped of his identity of the Knights of the Round Table, and restored to be Princess Euphemia''s Knight." 0 Correct "Stripped of? That serious?" Ade carefully recalled Kururugi''s battle record, "Uh, it makes sense, then won''t another Knight of the Round Table be vacated?" 0 Correct "Emperor Charles just promoted a few newcomers to fill the empty seats of the Knights of the Round Table. It has not yet been announced to the public, I will copy the names to you later. In place of Suzaku Kururugi to guard Japan is the newly promoted second knight." Char slowed down the car and peeled down his sunglasses, "Is that little black dot in the sky a Mobile Suit? What is Londo Bell up to? By the way, the newly promoted second knight is called¡ª" 0 Correct "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei¡­" Ade mumbled the name as he looked at the small black dot in the sky that was gradually showing its outline. 0 Correct "Yes, that''s the name, how did you¡ª" Char instantly reacted and immediately took out his cell phone and dialed, "Bright, it''s me, Quattro. " 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct In Londo Bell, it was an open secret that Captain Aker often slept in the cockpit of the Zeta Gundam instead of going to his dorm room. 0 Correct The Zeta Gundam is three years old, as a product sold to TITANS rather than Dr. Lingus''s own use, Zeta''s performance is not as much as V2 or F91, F91 and V2 are still the most powerful class nowadays, while the Zeta Gundam can only be regarded as a Jegan with a decent configuration. 0 Correct Londo Bell has no money to buy new Gundams. Captain Bright also proposed to Aker to give him a new Jegan, but was sternly refused by Aker. 0 Correct "Performance, power, armament, everything can be compensated with technology, but not the model." He said so at the time, "It doesn''t make sense if it''s not Gundam." 0 Correct Right now, Captain Aker is on patrol in his beloved Zeta Gundam. 0 Correct It was almost time for a shift change, and just as Aker was about to return, the sudden appearance of an MS with the identification signal of Britannia on the radar alerted him. According to the agreement previously signed with Princess Euphemia, Britannia and Londo Bell were not allowed to set foot on each other''s premises, not to mention that the location where this MS appeared from is¡ª 0 Correct "Inside the city? Is it airborne!" Aker quickly opened the public channel, "This is Captain Graham Aker of Londo Bell, the MS of Britannia, please answer immediately with your identity and the reason for your presence here, otherwise, it will be treated as a hostile act." 0 Correct "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei." The pilot on the other side answered his question without hesitation, and his MS had also appeared in the view of Zeta, which had transformed into its aircraft form, "Gundam OO, expel the target." 0 Correct Then that Gundam came barreling towards Zeta! 0 Correct The speed of that Gundam was so unscientific that it was already rushing towards Aker with its sword raised when Zeta had just transformed back to its MS form. 0 Correct "Too fast!" He quickly drew his beam saber, and I field collided with I field, "This power?!" 0 Correct The opponent fought him with a powerful performance far beyond Zeta.

"¡­ cebl." CH 120 Chapter 120: The Tracks of the Angels 0 Correct "Lacus, aren''t you sleeping yet?" Cagalli asked worriedly while touching her big belly, "Maybe we''ll have news until tomorrow." 0 Correct "You should go to sleep first, or it won''t be good for the children in your belly." Lacus gave her a faint smile and made to look relieved, "I''ll wait a little longer, it''s okay." 0 Correct "Then ¡­ is fine." Cagalli hesitated for a moment, finally nodding and turning around to go back to her room. Kira was not at home, she was now temporarily staying at Dr. Lingus'' house. 0 Correct It was already ten o''clock at night, and even if Mineva didn''t have to go to school tomorrow, she was forced to go to bed, and the living room was empty with only Lacus in it. She pushed the laptop away, slumped helplessly on the table, and her pretty pink hair spread out messily. The communication software was open on the laptop screen, and the avatar marked as "husband" was still gray. 0 Correct "You call me every, but stopped today. I was never being so worried about you." She lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Is this the so-called perfect Pavlovian method of getting a girl? I''m about to be domesticated by you. Is this your ultimate goal?" 0 Correct Lacus didn''t know how long she had waited. After a day of work, she was already exhausted and gradually sank into sleep. Suddenly, a subtle rattling woke her up, and she jerked her head up, only to see Ange was fully dressed with a big bag on her back. 0 Correct "Where are you planning to go at this late hour?" She was asking knowingly, and the answer was obvious. 0 Correct "Ade didn''t call me until now, something must have happened." Ange replied as expected, "Even Momoka hasn''t contacted me, the situation must be very serious, I can''t wait. I must go to him." 0 Correct "Your power of action is really quite enviable sometimes." Lacus smiled to herself and smoothed out her hair that was messy from sleeping, "But that''s not how things work, you might give him a bad time instead." 0 Correct Ange thought for a moment, put her bag down, sat down across from Lacus, and seriously locked eyes with her, "I don''t understand, please tell me." 0 Correct "Maybe he''s dealing with an important matter and doesn''t have time; maybe he''s injured and Momoka is taking care of him and isn''t available; maybe he''s suddenly inspired by something and is thinking about it; maybe he met which an NT friend, chatting and forgetting about time; maybe you''ve fallen for the enemy''s plan. There are too many possibilities." Lacus showed a bitter smile, "All I can do is trust him, continue to wait, and contact Loran if there is still no news tomorrow." 0 Correct "But I''m worried sick without seeing him for a day, are you just¡ª" Ange suddenly stoped. She remembered the way Lacus just fell asleep on the table, " Lacus, have you ¡­ been coming over like this?" 0 Correct "Do I have a choice?" Lacus asked softly, and immediately answered herself, "No." 0 Correct "I thought you had¡ª" Ange''s voice said getting smaller and smaller, "already disliked him, then it''s better to get a divorce." 0 Correct "People always cherish what they have worked so hard to get, and no matter what they become, they can''t be ruthless enough to give it up, while they often don''t cherish much of what comes to them, and don''t feel any pain when they trample on it." Lacus looked at the gray avatar on the screen in disbelief, "I can''t tell now if what he does every day is out of sincerity or acting." 0 Correct "How can it be acting?" Ange hurriedly defended Ade, "Even if he''s a little greedy and wants everything, he definitely won''t rely on acting to deceive other people''s hearts!" 0 Correct "Possessiveness and liking are not the same, and liking and loving are not the same." Lacus looked at Ange with slight envy, "And loving and loving are also different." 0 Correct "¡­ I''m sorry." 0 Correct "Are you taking pity on me?" Lacus immediately put away her earlier expression and replaced it with a cold look, "I''m not saying this to you for that purpose." 0 Correct "No, it''s not!" Ange waved her hands in panic, "I was apologizing for something I did!" 0 Correct "What kind of things?" Lacus asked with a clear, cold voice like C.C.''s. 0 Correct "It''s, it''s the matter of showing love with Ade in front of everyone before." Ange lowered her head, the fingertips of her hands kept bumping against each other, showing that she was a little nervous, "I can''t help but be pampered, forgetful, and let loose when I''m with him¡­ I always thought you guys didn''t have feelings for him anyway, and wanted to deliberately provoke you. But this will actually hurt you, right? Well, I''m sorry about that." 0 Correct "How can I be mad at you for you being so frank?" Lacus shook her head, closed the laptop, and stood up, "It''s late, go change your clothes and go to sleep." 0 Correct After that, she picked up her laptop and went back to her room. She waited until the noon of the next day when she got Ade''s news from Ange''s mouth. 0 Correct "Ahhhhhhh, why didn''t Momoka say it? I was so worried and couldn''t sleep all night! Whose maid she is?!" Ange grumbled with dark circles under her eyes, "Well, Lacus, why don''t you go back and catch up on your sleep? Mineva and I can just order take-out, we don''t need to bother you with cooking." 0 Correct Lacus looked at Ange, who had suddenly become honest after the night, and was in a bit of a trance, not even knowing how to react for a while. She walked to the kitchen and pretended to be calm, "Cagalli is pregnant, it''s not good to eat take-out for her. It''s better for me to cook." 0 Correct After the meal, Lacus decided to take a nap. Even for Coordinators, staying up late is still the natural enemy of women. Ange took Mineva off to play a game, and Cagalli videoed her husband. Now the Celestial Being has basically nothing to do, and the two of them talk for hours. 0 Correct Kira is much more honest than Ade and reports every day on what''s going on to Cagalli, you can even call him a model husband. 0 Correct "I have a meeting this afternoon, I''ll hang up now, be careful with your body." He reluctantly ended the happiest part of his day and headed to the ship''s briefing room. 0 Correct In the briefing room, Chang Wufei and the other three Celestial Being members were already there, all looking down at something. Kira nodded to Chang Wufei in greeting, took the seat reserved for himself, picked up the same thing, and read it. The content was a speculation on the principle of light particle reactor written by Dr. Lingus. 0 Correct After some time, everyone finished reading. Chang Wufei put up videos on the big screen. There were two in total, a video of the battle from Zeta''s perspective and a video from Sinanju''s perspective. After the videos were played, Chang Wufei''s sharp gaze swept over the four people present, and even with Kira''s experience in battle, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable. 0 Correct "Before the meeting begins, I''d like to say that it is strictly forbidden to take the ship''s public network to download porn. Don''t think you can do whatever you want just because you know some technology, I''ve already found out whose IP it is." 0 Correct Everyone turned their heads to look at Kamille. 0 Correct "Why are you looking at me? It''s not me!" Kamille''s face turned red. 0 Correct "This is the end of the topic, the next time you do it, I will announce your name via the ship''s broadcast." Chang Wufei coughed, "Kamille!" 0 Correct "Yes!" Kamille reflexively shrank back. 0 Correct "You, analyze the enemy Gundam''s pilot and performance in the videos." Chang Wufei said in a deep voice, "A good fighter needs more than experience and intuition. Use your brains." 0 Correct Kamille recalled what he just saw and analyzed, "That MS should be using Minovsky nuclear power reactor, I saw the beam saber, there is still I field exists. This deranged thing written by Dr. Lingus may exist as an external device, such as just to make the MS turn into that red high-performance mode?" 0 Correct Chang Wufei nodded and gestured for him to continue. 0 Correct Kamille was encouraged and could not help but feel a little more confident, "The enemy pilot is not necessarily much more powerful than Captain Aker, it is the Zeta Gundam''s performance that is too poor. But the pilot''s also not too weak, after Mr. Quattro joined the fray, he still lasted for a while before turning the MS into the red light mode." 0 Correct With Kamille''s level, he was unable to find the essence of the battle. Chang Wufei frowned at the other three. 0 Correct Kira thought for a while and took the initiative to speak, "The enemy Gundam pilot is very experienced, but his overall technical level should not be as good as Captain Quattro. He just took advantage of the performance of the MS." 0 Correct Chang Wufei is much more satisfied with this answer, and then the crowd started a discussion based on Kira''s statement, discussing the optimal means to deal with such an opponent with their respective MSs. 0 Correct After finishing the tactical literacy training, Chang Wufei continued with the more important work: ideological education. Dr. Yang often taught him during his lifetime that an uneducated warrior is a stupid warrior, and that both combat skills and cultural learning are important. He grew up in the midst of Dr. Yang''s wise teachings. 0 Correct Chang Wufei played the video of Charles'' war speech on the big screen and continued to stare at Kamille, "What do you think about this man''s words? Don''t be afraid to speak up, we won''t blame you." 0 Correct "Why is it always my turn to answer the question¡­" Kamille muttered in a small voice and replied in a loud voice, "Although I did not fully understand what he said, it feels like there is some truth to it. Well, at least it sounds righteous?" 0 Correct Chang Wufei sighed in disappointment and patted Charles'' old face on the big screen, "Anyone who can say something like that is either stupid, bad, or stupid and bad." 0 Correct Shinn raised his hand in amazement, "Grandpa, you sound like Mr. Adrien!" 0 Correct "They''re both masters of double standards." Kamille pouted unconvincingly, "Just said that you won''t blame me, and then you scold me. Put that ''evolution'' saying aside, the Federation sucks is the truth, right?" 0 Correct Uraki scratched his head in embarrassment. He felt that only this could not be refuted. 0 Correct "It''s obvious that science and technology are so advanced, but the upper echelons are becoming more and more corrupt¡­ It''s really because those adults are liars, right?" Kamille said and got more and more excited, "Not to mention them, even in the NT group, there are scums like Scirocco. Dr. Lingus is also covering up and refuses to say exactly what we are going to do. It''s simply impossible to understand each other with such people who are full of lies, right?" 0 Correct "I think the fact that everyone is willing to believe in the Doctor unconditionally is somehow mutual understanding in itself." Kira said with a straight face, "And in any case, provoking a war is most undesirable." 0 Correct "Actually, Kamille, the current state of the Federation is not such a simple matter." Shinn deliberated for a moment and said briefly, "The corruption is mainly due to the uneven distribution of wealth caused by the severe class rigidity of the federal government, and the old relations of production for the Federation are no longer adapted to the advanced productive forces. The problem was worse in Britannia, only to be muddled through by Emperor Charles." 0 Correct Kamille was dumbfounded and didn''t understand a word of it. 0 Correct In fact, Kira was also confused but pretended that he understood. People like Uraki and Chang Wufei, who have been trained for a long time, were nodding their heads and thought Shinn was right. 0 Correct "There are indeed solutions, with the current environment of the Federation, it''s either having a top-down reformation or having a bottom-up insurgence. Well, this topic is bigger, I''ll give a few books for you to read." Shinn smiled kindly at Kamille, "I can probably guess a bit of what Mr. Adrien is doing, but it wouldn''t be something you could understand right now." 0 Correct Kamille has always felt that he was born smart, but today he suddenly found that there were things he didn''t understand. He looked at Shinn with a look of reverence, "Brother Shinn, how do you know so much? That''s amazing!" 0 Correct "Mr. Adrien taught me that." Shinn smiled shyly in embarrassment, "There''s a lot more, I can teach you if you want to learn, you just have to read a lot of books." 0 Correct "That guy turned out to know all that? But he did nothing but scold me, never argued with me about these things." Kamille said and sulked, "He didn''t expect anything from me in the first place. Well, it''s normal for him to think that way, not everyone is like Mr. Quattro." 0 Correct Chang Wufei weighed up the situation and decided that this ideological education was about the time. He cleared his throat to get everyone to focus on him. 0 Correct "Good news for everyone, the first mission for Celestial Being has been decided, and the Doctor has already made a battle plan." He noticed that some of them were acting a bit eager, "but the first mission is to declare our presence, not revealing too much of our strength." 0 Correct This means that not everyone will have the opportunity to participate in the mission and take this chance to show off their new Gundams. 0 Correct "I have not yet decided all the task personnel, but I feel that we must have it." On the big screen appeared an angel-like feathered Gundam, Chang Wufei sighs with emotion, "Old friend, ah, I did not expect to have the day to see you in battle again." CH 121 Chapter 121: The Wings in My Eyes (Hitomi no Tsubasa) 0 Correct "ZERO, Britannia''s troops have appeared! At our rear!" 0 Correct "Don''t panic, everything is in my calculations." Lelouch under the mask calmly gave instructions, "Inform Londo Bell to change formation and start dispersing Minovsky particles." 0 Correct "ZERO, Londo Bell called back, saying that the international convention must be observed, and the dispersal of Minovsky particles on the surface is strictly prohibited!" 0 Correct "Are you kidding me? It''s a war, who cares about international conventions?" Lelouch froze for a moment, and suddenly a chill ran down his back, "Wait, with this formation now, won''t we be sandwiched between Londo Bell and Britannia?" 0 Correct "ZERO, Londo Bell is attacking us! Britannia''s missile cluster is approaching!" 0 Correct He wouldn''t be Lelouch if he didn''t understand what''s happening, "Frontal, you betrayed me!" 0 Correct On the bridge of Argama, which was staying behind the battlefield, Ade and Char stood side by side, "How will he believe you? I think with our position, there''s still a sign that you''re going to backtrack on that." 0 Correct "Lingus, you think there are signs because you are seeing the problem in a higher position." Char eloquently said, "ZERO is resourceful, quick-minded, but unfortunately, his field of vision is too small. Just like now, he has good control over this kind of small-scale battlefield, but if he wants to complete the strategic layout between TITANS and Britannia like Scirocco, his eyesight is not enough." 0 Correct Above the battlefield, the Black Knights'' forces were sandwiched between Britannia and Londo Bell. Lelouch was trying hard to use the resources he had to move around in the limited space, but that was all they could do, and it was only a matter of time before the Black Knights'' entire front collapsed. 0 Correct For the Black Knights, the "fake fight" with Londo Bell is actually quite a serious blow to the discipline and morale of the troops. This kind of behavior has caused their soldiers to lose the most basic fear of the battlefield. 0 Correct It''s fine if nothing happens, but when it comes to a hard battle like the one at hand, their true battle power will immediately be exposed. Despite Lelouch''s subtle tactical command, the quality of the troops could not keep up at all and could not effectively execute the tactical objectives. 0 Correct Of course, Ade and Char did not care about this at all. 0 Correct "It''s a tacit agreement among the higher-ups to let an unrelated third party go out first." Char gave a slightly dismissive smile, "Trying to rely on a small group like the Black Knights to take revenge on Britannia would have been a joke, ZERO takes it too seriously." 0 Correct As time passed, the battle line continued to shrink, and the forces of Londo Bell and Britannia began to make contact, immediately turning into a hostile relationship from the tacit cooperation just now. Not surprisingly, MSs began to spread Minovsky particles to prevent being bombed by missiles, and no one cared about any international conventions. 0 Correct At this time, most of the Black Knights'' living forces had been wiped out, and the chain of command was completely paralyzed. The members of the group only thought about surviving the battle, and completely gave up unnecessary resistance. 0 Correct "Captain Bright!" A CIC suddenly shouted, "There''s a strange sound on the public channel." 0 Correct "Strange sound?" Bright couldn''t help but glance at Char, who put on an "I''m curious too" expression, "Play it." 0 Correct Then a dynamic electronic sound rang out from the bridge, and a female voice was singing to the rhythm of the music, "Just wild beat ¡­" 0 Correct "Who''s playing the song on the public channel?!" Even Bright had never seen such a thing before, "What is this?" 0 Correct Char glanced covertly at Ade, and Ade looked back at him with an innocent look. 0 Correct "Captain, high energy response approaching!" That CIC then shouted, "MS without identification signal, is that¡­ Angel?" 0 Correct In the crowd''s stunned eyes, a Gundam descended from the sky and appeared within the line of sight. Its biggest feature was the metal feathers on its back, which looked like an angel from a distance. 0 Correct Bright subconsciously looked to Ade, "Dr. Lingus, this Gundam?" 0 Correct Ade frowned tightly and made a thoughtful expression, "There is even a Gundam that I don''t recognize, it''s too suspicious, I don''t know what it wants." 0 Correct This Gundam wandered around the outside of the battlefield with incredible speed, showing up in front of both armies. Many MSs decisively chose to shoot at it, and the Gundam''s wings fiercely closed. Very few particle beams hitting the wings were partially scattered off and partially absorbed. After throwing down a few metal feathers, the Gundam looked not being damaged at all. 0 Correct "It can achieve this kind of performance?!" Char could probably guess that this was a deliberate show to demonstrate the power of this Gundam, but he was still shocked by Wing Gundam Zero''s maneuverability and defensive power. 0 Correct "Yeah, yeah, it''s terrifying." Ade nodded his head vigorously, "The designer of this MS is an amazing researcher who is not inferior to me in the slightest, I really want to communicate with him, there must be a lot to be gained." 0 Correct At this moment, the music on the public channel finally stopped and an old male voice rang out, "We are Celestial Being, a private armed organization with Mobile Suit Gundams, with the aim of stopping all war activities of humanity. We ask both sides to cease fire immediately, or an indiscriminate attack will be launched on both sides." 0 Correct "What is this? A war to stop a war?" Bright was confused, "Are they serious? How can it be possible for us to stop fighting now?" 0 Correct "It''s pretty silly." Ade nodded, "There must be a conspiracy behind it. Captain Quattro, what do you think?" 0 Correct "Captain Bright, the other side must have a plan, let''s be cautious." Char suggested, "In case the other side really launches an indiscriminate attack, we should be ready to retreat at any time and transfer the pressure to Britannia." 0 Correct The battle continued after Wing Gundam Zero flew around the battlefield, and surprisingly, it really just rushed into the interference area of Minovsky particles and launched an indiscriminate attack on Britannia and Londo Bell. It rushed left and right in the MS array with only holding a lightsaber in its hand, and no one was a match for it. 0 Correct Bright ordered the battleship to send optical signals, informing everyone to run away. 0 Correct Just as Britannia was about to give chase, Wing Gundam Zero suddenly plunged headlong into Britannia''s MS group, and a suspected ACE came forward to try to snipe it, but was easily knocked to the ground in only two hits. 0 Correct Then, it pull out two huge beam rifles from its back and stood in place. In the next second, two thick beams of light extended from Wing Gundam Zero and plowed across the ground in a circle. The MSs swept by the particle beams exploded one after another. 0 Correct "This kind of power ¡­" Bright was dumbfounded. 0 Correct After the massacre was over, the Gundam put away its rifle and calmly turned around and charged into Londo Bell''s group again. Amuro immediately rushed to meet it in his F91. The two MSs showed the highest level of MS combating skills in the world. The two armies could only spectate, and no one was qualified to intervene. 0 Correct "All that''s left is to run away after the showpiece fight and give Amuro and Bright a war credit." Ade pulled Char into the mind space chat room, "But where is C.C.? And I don''t see Gundam00 either. I have a bad feeling about this." 0 Correct "Only one Delta+ was captured, and the pilot''s not C.C." Char responded calmly, "The plan is going so well, splitting up our manpower to find her would only disrupt other strategic objectives. I decided to temporarily change the priority order. We can come to look for her the next time." 0 Correct "So you didn''t really want to help me look for her from the beginning, right?" Ade turned around and walked away, "I should have expected that." 0 Correct "Lingus, you know what''s more important!" 0 Correct "Of course, I know." Ade disconnected the NT interlinkage, found an empty room and took out his cell phone, "Hello, Nunnally?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Brother said the woman you''re looking for escaped as soon as the battle started, towards Tateyama." Nunnally answered, "Yes, I knew that man couldn''t be trusted, he doesn''t know anything about love, and you understood that long ago, right? I am also an NT, you can certainly trust me. Okay, the transaction continues, thank you, and goodbye." 0 Correct "¡­Nunnally?" Lelouch looked at his sister in shock, who suddenly became neither lame nor blind, and felt his worldview was about to collapse. He turned his head to look at the person who had inexplicably helped him escape and roared, "Kururugi! What''s going on here?!" 0 Correct "Why don''t you just ask me, brother?" Nunnally put away her phone and glanced at Kururugi contemptuously, "What could a punk like him know?" 0 Correct "Nunnally!" Lelouch pulled at his hair, "I''m glad you''re suddenly better, but why are you talking in that tone? And Kururugi, what the hell is going on here? Answer me!" 0 Correct "Nunnally, this isn''t right! Did you even know that ZERO is Lelouch already?!" Kururugi raised his gun at the young girl, "I''m going to take you to His Majesty!" 0 Correct "And then what?" Nunnally let out a light laugh, "So you can become a Knight of the Round Table again? Is it so much fun to be Emperor Charles'' dog?" 0 Correct "I did it for¡ª" 0 Correct "For a change from the inside?" Nunnally let out a loud laugh, "Are you going to make me laugh to death? Do you expect to be Britannia''s emperor? Know your place, you are Japanese! Only Sister Euphemia can understand you. Ah, she''s obviously a fan of Lacus, but has not even learned a little from her idol. No, does hair color count?" 0 Correct "Even you are not allowed to insult her!" Kururugi was so angry that his hand holding the gun trembled madly. 0 Correct "A waste like Sister Euphemia will only end up being used by Charles to marry a noble at will, there is no hope for a Japanese like you." Nunnally casually picked away the gun pointing at her, "You, as the princess''s knight, can guard the door outside to listen to her being fucked by someone? Cuckold is very popular in novels nowadays, don''t you think so?" 0 Correct "You! Stop!" 0 Correct "The only thing a waste like you can do is to listen to the arrangements well, don''t try to use your head if you don''t have brains." Nunnally gently patted Kururugi''s cheek, "Don''t worry, our agreement is still valid, Sister Euphemia will not go to someone else''s bed. You see, this is also considered to protect her, right? Once Charles dies, Japan will also be able to become independent. Wow, what a happy ending." 0 Correct Kururugi stood behind Nunnally with empty eyes as if his mind had broken. 0 Correct "Nunnally, what''s wrong with you?" Lelouch looked incredulously at what was happening in front of him, "Are you being brainwashed? Don''t worry, I will save you, I will save you!" 0 Correct "Brother, I pretended to be that look because you liked me in that look." Nunnally held Lelouch''s hands, "Do you not like me any more now, brother? Do you not want me anymore, brother?" 0 Correct "No!" Lelouch showed an anxious look on his face, "I don''t mind what you look like, Nunnally is always the most important person to me!" 0 Correct "Then I''m relieved." Nunnally smiled slightly, "Brother, since your little game has failed, my disguise is meaningless, we need to protect ourselves in a different way." 0 Correct "I didn''t fail!" Lelouch shouted, "It''s just a momentary setback, I can rise again whenever I want!" 0 Correct "Don''t you get it, brother?" Nunnally shook her head regretfully, "Do you know how many of Charles'' men are watching around us? Do you know how many undercover agents there are in the Black Knights? Do you know who Frontal really is? It couldn''t have worked in the first place, there''s no way to get revenge with this method." 0 Correct "No, I still have a backhand¡ª" 0 Correct "Geass." Nunnally pronounced that word softly. 0 Correct Lelouch suddenly clutched his head in pain and twitched. Nunnally held him tenderly and stroked his hair. 0 Correct "Brother, do you remember? The memories that were sealed by Charles." 0 Correct "I have¡­" Lelouch reached out a hand to cover his eyes, "Geass?" 0 Correct "We siblings were originally genetically adjusted to experiment with the upper limit of Geass." Nunnally helped her brother remember, "But that woman, C.C., betrayed Charles'' plan for a man, and you, brother, turned to contract with V.V." 0 Correct "Because your ability was too dangerous and your personality was not easy to control, Charles sealed our memories and exiled us here." Lelouch remembered everything, "So I''ve been a buffoon?" 0 Correct "Charles''s Geass unlocked on its own after I awakened into NT, and I thought that it''s not bad to live together peacefully with you," Nunnally shook her head, "but brother, you didn''t give up even in this situation. Now, we have no turning back." 0 Correct "With this power¡­!" Lelouch clenched his fist, "Yes, I can!" 0 Correct Nunnally pushed the man behind her down to Lelouch''s foot, "Let''s start with him then?" 0 Correct "But Kururugi is my only¡ª" 0 Correct "Brother, I''ll die if he betrays." Nunnally looked at him sadly, "Is a friend more important than a sister''s life?" 0 Correct "But¡ª" 0 Correct "Brother, please believe me." Nunnally gently hugged Lelouch, "Nunnally will never harm you." 0 Correct "Of course, I believe you! It''s just¡ª" 0 Correct "Brother, I love you!" After saying that, the young girl blocked Lelouch''s lips. Lelouch''s brain went blank in an instant. 0 Correct After a long time, Lelouch gasped and trembled, "Nunnally, we, we are ¡­" 0 Correct Nunnally gave him another deep kiss without saying a word, after which, she looked at him with a deep gaze, "Brother, I love you, and you?" 0 Correct "Me?" Lelouch gritted his teeth, and a scarlet flying-bird-like pattern appeared in his eyes, "Suzaku Kururugi, I command you in the name of Lelouch¡­" 0 Correct "Ah, that''s it." Nunnally thought silently with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Lingus-san, I hope you find your happiness as well." CH 122 Chapter 122: Give Me a Pair of Wings 0 Correct Ade walked quickly toward the hangar, and Momoka followed him in step. 0 Correct "Actually, Ade-san didn''t believe him at the beginning, right?" The maid-sama asked with an admiring look, "You are no wonder to be Her Highness Angelise''s lover, that''s amazing!" 0 Correct "Char¡­ is born to betray everyone." Ade was a little embarrassed being looked at by Momoka. He can not help but boast, "I''m not boasting, but I have prepared him to betray me on everything." 0 Correct "When did you meet that girl named Nunnally?" Momoka continued, "We haven''t had any contact with strangers in the past few days, Ade-san has actually known a new girl, it''s incredible!" 0 Correct "Hey, you''re not helping Ange collect information, are you?" Ade gave her a suspicious look, then the maid lady made an innocent look, "It doesn''t matter if you report to her, I didn''t do anything wrong. Didn''t we go to eat near the school that day? That distance was close enough for an NT like Nunnally." 0 Correct During the talk, the two came to the hangar. As Ade was still thinking what to say, Momoka said first, "Ade-san is going to find Miss C.C., it would be inappropriate for me to follow. Please take care on the way, and I will wait for you to return." 0 Correct "Well, sorry ¡­" 0 Correct "I''m just a maid, please just treat me as a gift from Her Highness Angelise, don''t care about my feelings." The maid lady gave him a slightly sad smile, "And it didn''t happen to the last step between us, please don''t ever feel guilty." 0 Correct Such a statement instead made him feel even more guilty, but his worries about C.C. immediately took over his thoughts and he could only put the issue aside for now. He rolled over and jumped into the Unicorn Gundam, whose Zaku¢ò-shell had been completely repaired, ignored the still-beaten F91 and Wing Gundam Zero, and left Argama, heading in the direction Nunnally had told him. 0 Correct The MS flew at high altitude, quickly out of the town, across the hills, and into the mountains. It was still early January and the white hills in the distance were visible to the naked eye. As the altitude continued to rise, the snow was getting thicker below and the outside temperature was getting colder. 0 Correct "Ade, is there really no problem over here?" Alice''s image appeared on the screen, "You''ve been heading up the mountain, but there''s nothing on the radar." 0 Correct "There''s no problem." He replied affirmatively, "There''s a powerful NT soul inside that thing, I can feel it now. From the information provided by Nunnally, Gundam00 is coming to get her." 0 Correct "Powerful?" Alice cocked her head, "Alice thinks Ade is the most powerful!" 0 Correct "Uh, it can''t be worse than Amuro, maybe a famous character I know." Ade thought for a moment and then gave up, "Anyway, the person has died, I can''t do anything now." 0 Correct "But wasn''t it dangerous? In case it contaminated you again like last time¡­" Alice made a worried look, "Should I be given the permission first? In case something goes wrong, Alice will protect Ade!" 0 Correct "Do not, I have a countermeasure." He lamented with a slight sigh, "Using Geass to save C.C. is like taking Yang Wen-li''s Unicorn fight Embryo. I feel the malice from the world." 0 Correct He secretly experimented with his ability to Char these days and has completely figured out his Geass. When he turned on his Geass, all NTs within a certain radius from him could not feel anyone else, while there was no effect on ordinary people. 0 Correct Normally, Geass can only be given to pure earthlings and can only take effect on pure earthlings. Considering C.C.''s identity, the origin of Geass and Code should be related to Lilith, and Geass can only work on purebred Lilith''s children. 0 Correct The reason why Ade can contract with C.C. is that his body is personally created by Lilith, and there will be no one more genetically compatible with Geass than him. The result is that his Geass can only be used against NTs, and Lilith''s children are instead unaffected. 0 Correct "Actually, the closeness that C.C. showed when she first met me was quite suspicious. Now that I think about it, my body was made by Lilith, and she also has something to do with Lilith." Ade''s heart stuttered, "It can''t be¡­ again? No, no way." 0 Correct His desire was to be himself, purely himself without any influence of his will or soul. Based on this, his ability has such an ironic effect: all NTs shut me up. 0 Correct Because Char was being secretly used by Ade to test his ability, he suspected that something was wrong with his NT ability. He used to be nearsighted, but now he is blind. But he felt ashamed to consult Amuro or Ade directly, so he sidetracked every time. Amuro didn''t understand what he wanted to ask at all, and Ade played dumb from the beginning to the end. 0 Correct "Let''s be honest and admit it, I don''t want to understand each other with anyone." The moment he discovered the nature of his ability, he understood, "I never believed that there was such a thing as mutual understanding in the world." 0 Correct After flying over a few more hills, an MS signal appeared at the edge of the radar. Ade followed the signal and continued on, finally meeting up with the target over a snowy mountain. Gundam00 was by now holding a spherical cockpit that had been twisted and deformed with both hands as it moved towards Ade. 0 Correct "I hate close-combat MS, how am I going to defeat this thing¡­" Ade only hesitated for a moment, then decisively opened the public channel, "Are you Setsuna? Why don''t you put your stuff down first and have a chat with me?" 0 Correct "Zaku¢ò?" Setsuna just slightly froze, "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei, expel the target." 0 Correct As soon as he murmured, Gundam00 threw the cockpit held in its hands towards the rear, then took out a pair of beam sabers from the skirt armor with both hands, rushing towards Ade. 0 Correct "Fuck you! That''s my wife inside it!" Ade was provoked, taking off the beam magnum from the MS''s back and giving Gundam00 a shot. 0 Correct Gundam00 dodged sideways, and the shoulder without GN-Drive slightly grazed a little, the entire shoulder armor and shield mounted on the shoulder was completely damaged. Realizing that this power was obviously not a Zaku¢ò could have, Setsuna didn''t hesitate for a second, "TRANS-AM!" 0 Correct Gundam00''s shoulder ejected red light particles, countless murmurs and screams flooded into Ade''s consciousness like a tidal wave, the intense tingling in his brain made his hands tremble. 0 Correct "More and more ACEs don''t like chatting these days." Ade did his best to keep his consciousness clear, and turned on Geass to charge at Setsuna with all his might, "Shut the hell up!" 0 Correct Setsuna didn''t understand what the Zaku¢ò approaching him all of a sudden, but he still respond with his body movements. Gundam00 in TRANS-AM mode lifted the blade and cut through the air, and the speed was too fast that it looked like a red streak. 0 Correct The two machines crossed paths in the air. Zaku¢ò was cut off a large piece of armor, revealing the white body hidden underneath. The red light on Gundam00 suddenly disappeared and it broke away from the TRANS-AM mode. 0 Correct "It can really be forcibly turned off!" Breathing heavily, Ade was overjoyed, "I''m already invincible!" 0 Correct "TRANS-AM!" Gundam00 once again emitted a red light, and the screams in the spirit world rang out again. The two MSs collided in the air, and this time, Ade almost succeeded in isolating Setsuna''s burst, and Gundam00 once again went out. 0 Correct "TRANS-AM!" 0 Correct Setsuna never gave up and charged over and over again. Gundam00 lit up and went out, went out and lit up, over and over again. And Ade was also on an endless cycle between severe headache and a moment of relief, never-ending. 0 Correct "That NT is pathetic, do you have any humanity left?!" Ade shouted angrily, "????? ???????!" (Soran Ibrahim, Setsuna''s original name) 0 Correct "Soran ¡­ what?" Setsuna''s body suddenly freezes. He seemed to remember something immediately, but the vague pain in his brain made him unable to think, "This name ¡­" 0 Correct The cockpit immediately reacted to the word "Soran", and the synthesized electronic voice rang out, "The pilot is in a dangerous state and the MS''s public channel has been automatically shut down. Recommend aborting the mission and disengaging from the battlefield immediately." 0 Correct "¡­Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei, abort the mission." Instincts formed from years of training overcame the impulse for a moment, and Setsuna decided to obey the order without hesitation, "Destroy the first target." 0 Correct From Ade''s perspective, Gundam00 first suddenly froze still. Just as he took out his beam magnum and prepared to shoot it again, Gundam00 suddenly rushed towards the hill and switched the sword blade mode into the beam rifle mode, firing wildly at the top of the hill. A large amount of snow collapsed and slid down toward the mountain, then brought up more snow and eventually formed a spectacular avalanche. 0 Correct After doing all this, Setsuna turned his head and ran. Ade didn''t even have the time to chase or break into a frenzy. He immediately flew in the direction where C.C.''s cockpit was thrown just now, however, the avalanche was still ongoing, and there was not even a shadow of the cockpit in his sight. 0 Correct "There''s no signal on the radar, and no one speaking on the public channel." He anxiously drove the Unicorn Gundam in constant circles, recalling the cockpit''s shape, "Was the communication system destroyed?" 0 Correct "Ade, it may have been buried deep, or it may have been washed away by an avalanche." Alice jumped out again, "It''s impossible to find it now, let''s wait until the snow melts in the summer, ok?" 0 Correct Ade was in no mood to care about her, just flying up and down the mountain over and over again. However, the avalanche washed away all possible traces, leaving only a white patch of land. 0 Correct "Ade, go back?" Alice persistently suggested, "You can''t be lucky every time." 0 Correct "Stop saying that, I won''t go back before I find her!" Ade said this sentence and suddenly froze, "Wait, how did I find her last time?" 0 Correct "Last time? Last time¡ª" 0 Correct "Quiet!" Alice commiserated, turning off the speakers. 0 Correct He turned off all the sound, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. 0 Correct Vaguely, he could hear his own breathing, but he didn''t need to hear it. The light from the monitor hit his eyelids, but he didn''t need vision. What he needs is the sixth sense that is like a part of the body, beyond the five senses. The consciousness stretched downward, breaking through Gundam, through the atmosphere, seeping into the snow, spreading out inch by inch. 0 Correct What he was looking for was some kind of unfamiliar awareness, yet an incredibly familiar feeling. It was the ethereal source that gave meaning to his existence in this world, like a candle-like light in the wind. His consciousness flowed between ice crystals and snowflakes, weaving, and then¡ª 0 Correct There was a ding. 0 Correct "Found you." 0 Correct The Unicorn Gundam flew above some spot that looked like all the others and began a careful digging operation. Ten minutes later, a twisted and distorted cockpit appeared in its hands. 0 Correct Ade maneuvered Unicorn to fly to the foot of the mountain where there was less snow, and looked closely at the cockpit. The bulkhead was so deformed by the external force that the hatch could no longer be opened, and he guessed that this was how Setsuna stopped the person inside from escaping. 0 Correct Ade put the cockpit on the soft snow, took out the beam saber to the lowest power, and drew a circle above the bulkhead. Then he jumped out of Unicorn and ran over to the deformed cockpit. 0 Correct He rested his hands on the gash he had made. His beating heart send a massive rush of blood into his brain so that he could not feel that his hands were being slightly burned. He lifted them with all his strength, and bright sunlight illuminated the dark interior. What appeared in his eyes was a cute girl with long green hair. 0 Correct C.C. didn''t know what had happened since she was locked in the cockpit. When she thought she was going to be brought back Britannia and never see someone again, the face in her thoughts suddenly appeared before her eyes along with the sunlight. 0 Correct "My life is all ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs ¡­," she said, desperately trying to restrain her urge to shed tears. 0 Correct "Found you." Ade smiled happily. His smile somewhat dazzles in the sunlight, "That''s how I found you last time, and this time too. As long as you dare to run, I promise I can still find you the next time." 0 Correct "What''s the point of finding me? We''ve broken up." She noticed Ade''s hand burned and resisted the urge to hug it up and hold it, trying to keep her face expressionless. 0 Correct "I haven''t agreed to it yet, and you say break up?" Ade made an annoyed look, then showed a sad look, "Stop saying such sad words, although I am greedy, slow, timid and careless, as long as I live, one day, I will make you feel that it is a happy thing to be with me." 0 Correct "Who knows if you will live until then?" She thought of the other two women and felt a little annoyed again. 0 Correct "There was once a true and sincere¡ª" 0 Correct "That''s enough." She stared at him and said impatiently, "Don''t ply me with these sweet words that you don''t believe yourself. Am I such a naive and gullible woman in your eyes?" 0 Correct "I love you." 0 Correct "Huh?" C.C. froze, "Huh? That, but, I, but, ah, this¡­" 0 Correct In her long life, this was the first time she had ever been in this situation, a man she liked confessing his love to her without Geass. Her pretty golden eyes widened in panic and she was at a loss for words. The most important step in their long acquaintance, that she had skipped, that he had skipped, was finally filled in at this moment. 0 Correct "I''m sorry, I ¡­" she looked at Ade confusedly, "I''m sorry. I don''t know how I should act at times like this." 0 Correct "Hmm." Ade inclined his head and thought about it, "Smiling would be a good start." 0 Correct So the tears sparkled in her eyes, and she smiled out. 0 Correct CH 123 Chapter 123: Snow of Grey 0 Correct "Then let''s hurry back, it''s so cold here. I didn''t put on enough clothes, I''m going to freeze like a dog." Ade breathed into his palm, "It''s already the middle of winter, aren''t you cold in your autumn clothes?" 0 Correct "So we are going back now? That''s all you used to coax me?" C.C. raised her eyebrows, "Not even half an episode of intimacy, you are so eager to go back to catch the next scene? Who is the next female lead in the next scene? And where is the script for me in the next scene? Send it to me first, I think it''s necessary to memorize the lines in advance, don''t you think so?" 0 Correct "I was wrong." Ade immediately apologized, "Then let''s do something? Have a snowball fight?" 0 Correct "Well ¡­" C.C. put up a finger in a thoughtful manner. After a moment, she looked at him with a wistful smile, "I''m going to soak in a hot spring, now." 0 Correct Ade instantly remembered the days of watching the MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE 08TH MS TEAM TV version with her at home. He could not help but smile at her, but immediately showed a sad face, "That is the exaggeration of the television drama, reality is not that easy. Take the snow as an example, first of all, the snow can not be too thick or too thin, and Unicorn''s beam saber is also much powerful than general¡ª" 0 Correct "You''re Dr. Lingus, you''re in charge of figuring out how to do it." C.C. interrupted him with a rightful expression, "The person who can build Gundam can''t even get a hot spring, obviously, it''s a matter of attitude, and you are still saying you love me?" 0 Correct "Ok, ok." Ade nodded his head sincerely and forcefully, "You taught me a lesson, I''ll think of a way right away." 0 Correct After flying around the nearby hills and finding a suitable place, nearly two hours later, the lightsaber spa was finally completed. The two clothes were neatly folded and put aside, and C.C. felt the chill from her body turn into the warmth of the water and lazily snuggled into his arms. Ade gently encircled her from behind and lowered his head, contentedly against the side of her face. 0 Correct "When we first met, your height only came up to my chest." C.C. sighed leisurely, "Now, you''re already so tall¡­" 0 Correct "See how heartless you were when you aimed at me, I was still a child at that time." Ade reminisced about the past, "By the way, you were definitely deliberately wearing so little at home, right? Do you know I feel every day?" 0 Correct "Then do it." C.C. responded, "I have hinted at you so many times, and finally it was me who took the initiative." 0 Correct He hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Actually, I''ve always been quite curious, why did you choose me in the first place?" 0 Correct "Why?" C.C. looked at the clear sky thoughtfully, "I can''t say why, it''s just a feeling of closeness that came out of nothing. At that time, it was just wishful thinking that if I missed it this time, maybe this feeling would never happen again." 0 Correct "Then I don''t think about it." Ade wiped some kind of probability out of his mind, "From now on, I only have the road in front of me, there is no road to turn back." 0 Correct "No road to turn back¡­" C.C. suddenly raised her snow-white arm to the edge of the pool, pinching a small handful of snow in the fingertips, and gently rubbed. The fine ice crystals floated into the water, and her ethereal voice then sounded, "Hey, Ade, do you know why the snow is white?" 0 Correct "Sure. Do you forget that I''m a doctor? When light enters the crystal structure on the surface of the snowflake, it is reflected many times in it, and eventually, all the light within the visible light spectrum is reflected back to form panchromatic light, which appears to be white to the human eye." 0 Correct "¡­" 0 Correct Ade heartily hugged her a little tighter, "Is white bad?" 0 Correct "Do you want to make her the color you like?" C.C. tilted her head and said seriously, "It can be done, I''ll seal up the code and we''ll start from scratch." 0 Correct "I can hardly get your heart, and you tell me to start over again? Are you kidding me?" Ade discontentedly twisted her chest slightly. C.C. had a light cry of pain but did not resist, "What we have experienced is the most important reason why I am me and not him, the current you is my initial coordinates in this world. I just want this white one, not any other color." 0 Correct "¡­ hmm." 0 Correct "So the memories between us will only become more and more, never less." Ade said decisively, "Don''t say such upsetting words in the future." 0 Correct "But," C.C. also held his hand, "But those who hate me or those who love me will all fade away with time. In the end, in the never-ending time, I¡­ am alone." 0 Correct "Didn''t I say it before? Or do you want to hear it again? It''s right, after all, you are also a girl." Ade whispered, "V.V. has code, and there are Angels in this world. By any means, I promise to accompany you to see the end of time." 0 Correct C.C.''s body trembled in his arms. Ade did not speak again, just silently held her. After a long time, C.C. took a deep breath, broke free from his arms, and turned to face him. 0 Correct "I''m sorry." C.C. reached out, put a hand on his belly, and caressed it, "It must hurt, I''m sorry." 0 Correct "I did do what I deserved, you''re not at fault, it''s me who should say sorry." Ade smiled, "And you stabbed me because you were jealous, ah, it means you love me that much, you don''t know how happy I was." 0 Correct "You''re getting more and more shameless." C.C. shook her head helplessly, "What''s even scarier is that I''m about to get used to it." 0 Correct "There''s still an unknown amount of time ahead, you''ll have to get used to it even if you don''t want to." 0 Correct "Yeah, so you can''t die without permission until then." C.C. tenderly rubbed what was originally the location of the cut and said again in an inaudible voice, "I''m sorry." 0 Correct "Don''t you ever¡ª" 0 Correct C.C. suddenly plunged into the water. Her beautiful long green hair floated on the surface of the water, floating in a regular manner. Ade took a breath of cool air, nearly unsteady on his feet. 0 Correct He doesn''t know how long it took. After a long while, C.C. came out of the water, bringing up a cluster of water. She took over her long hair, stroking down the water droplets on it, while looking at the still confused Ade with a smile, "This is probably something only I can do?" 0 Correct Without waiting for Ade to reply, she turned around again and leaned into his arms, grabbing his hands and placing them on her waist in a hugging manner, "Well, luckily I didn''t get the water dirty, I want to soak a little longer." 0 Correct "Then let''s soak a little longer." Ade reached out one finger and gently poked her soft belly, "Let''s get the water dirty when you''re done soaking." 0 Correct "I like it better when you take the initiative." C.C. hummed in satisfaction, "Keep it up and keep up the good work." 0 Correct By the time the duo who had soiled the water returned to Argama, the sun had set. Ade and Amuro greeted each other in their consciousness. Ade learned that Amuro had finally fought off Wing Gundam Zero and the Britannia army had also been defeated. Now, all of his strategic objectives, including finding C.C., had been successfully completed. Then he said hello to Bright again, and took C.C. back to his room. 0 Correct "I can''t believe you and her aren''t in the same room?" C.C. gestured with her eyes to the maid lady next door, "I thought you had ''eaten'' her up long ago." 0 Correct "How is that possible?" Ade replied righteously, "Am I such a person?" 0 Correct "Ange is a princess, so isn''t Momoka a giveaway?" C.C. looked like she was rightfully so, "Didn''t you choose a fool like Ange in the first place because there was a discount for buying one and getting one free? It can''t be for a superficial reason like gaining an intellectual superiority, right?" 0 Correct "It''s already U.C. 0087." Ade was dumbfounded, "What kind of medieval feudal thinking is that?" 0 Correct "I''m so sorry to be a woman who lives in the past." C.C. took off her shoes and coat and sat on the bed, looked around in boredom, and held out a hand to him, "Give me your phone, mine''s broken." 0 Correct A second of hesitation at a time like this is fatal, Ade did not hesitate to put the phone into C.C.''s hand as quickly as possible. 0 Correct C.C. played the phone and suddenly raised her voice, "You hooked up with Marianne''s daughter? Hmm?" 0 Correct The next day, Ade took C.C. to school, and Momoka knowingly volunteered to stay at Londo Bell. The duo met Nunnally in the student council meeting room, where the brainwashed Kururugi was guarding the door and Lelouch was away for something. 0 Correct "Lingus-san, the people in charge of watching me and my brother, as well as all the other members of the student council, have been controlled by my brother. You are safe here." Nunnally then greeted C.C. again, "Ms. C.C., do you remember me?" 0 Correct C.C. showed a playful expression and looked at Ade again, "Shall I say you''re worthy of being Marianne''s daughter? You two are acting in collusion with each other?" 0 Correct "I think ''each takes what they want'' is a more appropriate word." Nunnally elegantly smiled slightly, "Mr. Lingus is worthy of respect and has given me a lot of guidance and help in various aspects. He is indeed a man worth betraying Charles for, and your vision is very accurate." 0 Correct C.C. abruptly narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous aura radiated from her body. 0 Correct "As a female NT, there is probably no more suitable subject for me than Lingus-san. Our souls can communicate and resonate without any obstacles, feeling no lag or incongruity." Nunnally looked at C.C. provocatively, "It''s a pity that I''m already in love with my brother, otherwise, I wouldn''t mind having sex with Lingus-san and asking him for advice on other aspects of his experience." 0 Correct C.C. froze for a moment, then her whole body suddenly relaxed, "You''re very vindictive." 0 Correct "Or what? Thank you all for giving me such excellent genes, and I feel supremely honored as an experiment?" Nunnally sneered, "You''re already out of that gang, and you''re Mr. Lingus''s mate, I can forget what you''ve done. But I won''t let go of any of the rest of those guys." 0 Correct "So those words just now were to anger me?" The corner of C.C.''s eyebrows raised slightly, "False words?" 0 Correct "Of course, all of them are false words. You don''t have to worry, I am single-minded to my brother, I will not do anything to Mr. Lingus. Mr. Lingus is NT and can testify for me." Nunnally winked at Ade, "Isn''t that right, Mr. Lingus?" 0 Correct "Ah, of course, it''s a lie." Ade snapped back and nodded, "Yes, it must be a lie, how can it be true." 0 Correct C.C. gestured him with her eyes, and then she quieted down, thinking something alone. 0 Correct "Before we get down to business, I have an annoyance that I would like to ask Mr. Lingus." Nunnally looked at him squarely, "Even though my brother has accepted me as I really am, whenever I pretend to be the weak me before, he still can''t help but treat me a little better. It seems like he still prefers the look I put on, do you have any good ideas?" 0 Correct "A big part of the so-called liking someone is identification with that person''s personality." Ade thought for a moment and said, "Your change is too big a contrast, so big that it makes you look like two different people. I suggest that even when you are alone with him, you pretend a little bit, and then remove the disguise little by little, so that he has a process of getting used to it. It can also be combined with other stimuli so that he doesn''t have time to think about all this nonsense." 0 Correct "Do you want to give me personal guidance?" Nunnally asked in a joking tone in the NT chat room, "You''ve experienced so many women, so you must be experienced?" 0 Correct "Sorry, I''m not interested in a flat-chested girl like you? And how old are you? Fourteen or fifteen?" Ade responded, "You can search online, there''s everything online. Do you need me to give you some links?" 0 Correct "That''s a shame." Nunnally glanced covertly at C.C., "You''re pretty pathetic too, having been targeted by her since you were a child, then tricked into bed by Lacus, and always counted on by insidious, powerful women. I read online that you also have a blonde bodyguard who is also beautiful. Did you get cheated by her too? Or is her your true love?" 0 Correct "That one is a little stupid." 0 Correct "Got it, true love." Nunnally understood in a second, "Then again, I''ve heard that virgins are quick the first time, but my brother has high self-esteem, do you have any good advice? Should I give him some medicine before doing it? Can you share your first experience? Well, is it possible that your first time was with this old green woman?" 0 Correct "You''re talking with your NT powers?" C.C. suddenly looked at the two suspiciously. 0 Correct "No." "No." The duo answered at the same time. 0 Correct It was true that Ade hadn''t done anything wrong, but he couldn''t admit that he had been molested by a junior high school girl. 0 Correct "Understood, I will help you to find out the details of this Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei and Gundam00." Nunnally ignored C.C. and continued to speak without changing her expression, "Is there more?" 0 Correct "No more for now, behind it is a matter of execution." Ade looked straight into her eyes, "I never trusted Lelouch, the only person I trusted was you as an NT, don''t you forget that." 0 Correct "My brother''s ability is dangerous, in the hands of anyone with a normal IQ, it would cause havoc. I understand that." Nunnally nodded, "I trust you just as much and do not wish to make an enemy of you for any reason. I will keep an eye on my brother, not to mention that he is so naive and quite easy to ''convince'', isn''t he?" 0 Correct Ade laughed dumbly because Nunnally was right, Lelouch was indeed silly and naive in a sense. 0 Correct "It''s not too late, let''s start the first stage." He looked at C.C., whose expression was getting out of place, and cried out in his heart, hurriedly ending the topic, "Control Koneria as soon as possible." CH 124 Chapter 124: The Changing World 0 Correct Scirocco read the report handed over by his men and felt a bit of a headache. It wasn''t so much about the war with Britannia. It was about the money. 0 Correct Britannia is at war with the entire Federation, not just TITANS. In the face of such an all-out war, the internal conflicts of the Federation army obviously have to be put aside for the time being. 0 Correct In the end, the war is about resources, and the Federation is not the least bit deficient in front of Britannia. Britannia has a dozen knights of the round table, so what? There are only a dozen ACEs. Scirocco didn''t even bother to count how many ACEs were in the Federation army. Not only inside TITANS, but all the ACEs of the Federation army are under his jurisdiction. 0 Correct The only problem is that TITANS''s reserve funds are depleted too quickly. The war would have cost a lot of money, and Anaheim does not give any discount. In the end, he has to rely on himself. 0 Correct "The Vist consortium refuses to give any support, so we have to rely on Rhineford." Scirocco looked up at the sky outside the window, "Loran Cehack ¡­" 0 Correct Putting down the report in his hands, he got up and headed to the hangar, where the black-colored Banshee Gundam was standing quietly inside. (UNICORN GUNDAM-02¡°BANSHEE) 0 Correct "Colonel Scirocco." Emma Sheen, who was in the hangar, saluted him. 0 Correct Scirocco gave her a slight nod and casually asked, "How is the recruitment of NT pilots going?" 0 Correct "I''m sorry, no progress." Emma bowed her head in shame, "Not to mention NT pilots, we didn''t even find ordinary NTs." 0 Correct "Don''t worry, Captain Emma, you''ve done a good job." Scirocco waved his hand indifferently, "NTs are rare, otherwise, we wouldn''t have recruited Kamille Bidan in the first place." 0 Correct "Kamille¡­" Mentioning this person, Emma''s interest was a bit low. 0 Correct Scirocco didn''t feel surprised by knowing that they couldn''t find NTs, and he did not blame Emma. In fact, Scirocco is a gentleman, and TITANS had many female officers who joined out of loyalty to him personally. 0 Correct "NewType-Drive."Scirocco tilted his head to look at the Banshee Gundam, "Oh, whoever believes that is stupid." 0 Correct Scirocco didn''t believe this kind of technology, which he didn''t know the principle at all. He would rather drive the RGM-79GM than sit in the cockpit of Banshee, which he feels is a choice that any leader with a normal IQ would make. 0 Correct "I would not have made a deal with Charles back then if I know the current situation." He turned away from the hangar, muttering to himself with some regret, "Even a half-finished product is fine, it will work after adjusting and tweaking." 0 Correct Scirocco has a Research Institute called Murasame Newtype Lab, artificial NT is the top priority of the lab''s research. Stella and five others are the semi-finished products produced by this lab, and all of them had entered the MIA list. Scirocco didn''t feel the pain to send them to die, but now he feels a little regret. 0 Correct And the four official products from the lab were all acquired by Emperor Charles last year at a high price. At that time, TITANS was facing the danger of a broken capital chain, and Scirocco had to sell the four products as a package to get some extra income. 0 Correct "It''s a pity that I can''t get Amuro Ray." Scirocco smacked his lips regretfully. Mentioning this, he remembered the report on Celestial Being submitted up by Londo Bell, and couldn''t help but sneer, "Hmph, trying to pretend to be neutral? Other than Lingus, I don''t think that anyone can make such a thing." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Other than Dr. Lingus, who else could make something like that?" Kamille was sitting in the cockpit of The-O, making preparations before the first strike, "Is the Doctor stupid? Does he really think that Scirocco is a retard?" 0 Correct "For the moon government, as long as there is no evidence, it will not be passive in public opinion. How TITANS and Britannia speculate is their business, and it will not affect anything if they can''t find evidence." Shinn patiently explained to him, "Even if they really found some evidence, we can just deny it. That''s how the so-called politics works." 0 Correct "Heh, adults." Kamille bristled. 0 Correct "You''re eighteen years old and have no business complaining about how adults are all the time anymore." Kira spoke out accusingly, "Nothing will change and nothing will end if you just talk here while doing nothing yourself." 0 Correct "I will be 18 years old at the end of the year, and now I''m seventeen, I''m still a child!" Kamille corrected Kira stubbornly, "Is that what Kira-san means by doing something? Didn''t you tell me yourself before that you like living in peace with your family the most?" 0 Correct "Sometimes, you can only fight to protect something, and I believe in the path we choose." Kira''s voice didn''t have a trace of confusion, "I''m ready to fight, and I will always fight." 0 Correct Kamille gave him a "tsk", not continuing to talk back and concentrating on tuning The-O. He looked left and right at the other three''s MSs and felt a little irritated. Originally, he was not obsessed with Gundam, but compared to Wing Gundam Zero, Destiny, and Ex-S, The-O really didn''t look cool at all. 0 Correct He was going to protest to Chang Wufei, questioning him that isn''t Altron Gundam is in the spare? But he went back sensibly only to go to the door of the captain''s room. 0 Correct By now, Iserlohn had jumped over the Atlantic Ocean and Chang Wufei''s voice rang out in everyone''s MS, "Striking." 0 Correct Three Gundams and one The-O launched from the battleship and plummeted toward the battlefield below. This was one of the sub-battlefields on the long front between Britannia and the Earth Federation, located in the southern part of the Mid-Atlantic, where both armies had invested a relatively modest amount of troops. 0 Correct All personnel outside the Minovsky particle scattering zone received a broadcast on the public channel at the same time, exactly like last time, apparently, a recording was played. Just like last time, this time there was no instruction from the commander to make a truce. 0 Correct "We still have to go on, ah, really, no one will be stupid enough to stop." Looking at the difference in battle power between the enemy and his own side, Uraki sighed a little, but immediately shot up, "I believe in the Doctor, we are right." 0 Correct As the fastest MS among these four, Ex-S took on aircraft form to be the first to bring the enemy MSs below into range. The four beam cannons on the back of the machine fired, and the MSs in the middle of the battle were unable to avoid the cannons, turning into cannon fodders. 0 Correct As the MSs below scattered in panic, Ex-S flipped to avoid the fire from below, transformed into MS form after a period of displacement, and took out the Elf Beam Cannon hanging directly from its back. The beam cannon''s energy is directly supplied by the core power reactor, and the powerful I-field protects Ex-S from stray bullets. The inhuman acceleration of the Gundam allowed Uraki to quickly approach the Britannia side''s battleships. 0 Correct At the same time, Wing Gundam Zero Gundam also approached the direction of the TITANS command center at high speed. The white steel feathers were protecting both sides of its body, and the beam weapons from the enemies could not cause any substantial damage to it. Upon reaching the target location, the huge beam rifle that had wreaked havoc on the Japanese battlefield only a short while ago reappeared in Wing Gundam Zero''s hands, aiming at the group of battleships below. 0 Correct The commanders below were keenly aware of Wing Gundam Zero''s combat intentions, and very few of the elite MSs broke towards the top in an attempt to block the sniping of both Ex-S and Wing Gundam Zero, which were all stopped by the Destiny Gundam. 0 Correct A pair of wings spread out behind Destiny''s back, and it darted in and out of several MSs with ease. At times, it cut the enemy in two with its beam saber; at other times, it shot down the approaching MSs with its high-powered beam rifle, and when no one was around, it sniped at the distant MS group with its long-range beam cannon. 0 Correct "So, what the hell am I doing here?" Kamille wandered around in the sky with nothing to do, looking east and west, muttering unhappily to himself, "I don''t even have a beam rifle, what can I do in this situation? It''s too much." 0 Correct "Kamille, there''s one heading your way!" Shinn''s voice suddenly rang out, "I''m a bit crowded on my side, sorry for missing one." 0 Correct "I''ll take care of it, Brother Shin!" Kamille shouted excitedly, "Watch me take care of it right away!" 0 Correct A black Gundam Mk-II with a jetpack on board appeared in Kamille''s field of vision. Gundam Mk-IIs were mass-produced by TITANS, not constrained by Anaheim''s production capacity. Scirocco assigned them to the elites of his men, and they were their most exclusive MSs. 0 Correct "Is it you who stole Colonel Scirocco''s MS?" A young voice rang out on the public channel. 0 Correct "Jerid Messa?!" Kamille covered his mouth and hastily turned off the public channel. If someone he knew recognized him, it would be all over. 0 Correct The Gundam Mk-II closed in while firing, and with Kamille at the controls, The-O deftly avoided all shots with a speed that didn''t match its bulky appearance. 0 Correct "Are you kidding me? Do you think I''ll be the same as before after being trained to death by the old man?" Kamille seemed to have some kind of problem with Jerid, "You TITANS scum!" 0 Correct The-O attached itself to the Gundam Mk-II with terrifying speed and wielded a beam saber in each hand, swinging them rapidly. In the midst of the chaos, two mechanical hands suddenly extended from under The-O''s skirt armor, and two beam sabers unfolded in the mechanical hands. 0 Correct The four swords let Jerid immediately could not stand, soon in a side dodge, it was knocked out of the jetpack on its back, felling towards the sea. 0 Correct At this time, Ex-S and Wing Gundam Zero finally got ready. On both sides of the sky, two thick beams of light rose from the sky straight to the sea. The roaring stream of particles brought up a wave of heat, and the air was brightly colored by the high-energy dissociation, striking straight into the group of battleships below. The two beam cannons slowly moved their muzzles, and countless battleships were reduced to metal dust under the sweep of the barrage. 0 Correct "It''s terrible, the power¡­" Kamille looked at what was happening in shock. 0 Correct Eventually, the chain of command of both Britannia and TITANS armies were completely destroyed and the battlefield was paralyzed. Some MSs froze in place, some turned and ran, and some continued to engage the enemy MSs around them by inertia. 0 Correct "Mission accomplished." Chang Wufei''s voice rang out on the friendly channel, "Return immediately." 0 Correct Kamille''s mind had not returned to reality until returning to Iserlohn. Upon disembarking from the The-O, an eager shout interrupted his musings. 0 Correct "Shinn! Shinn!" 0 Correct Stella shouted Shinn''s name as she flew into his arms. Shinn caught her in his arms, picked her up, and spun her around, and Stella followed with a joyful giggle. 0 Correct Kamille looked at the warm and sweet scene in front of him and his heart twitched. He had a secret that he couldn''t tell anyone - he had another crush. This time, it was his big brother''s girlfriend - Stella. CH 125 Chapter 125: Evangelion: Death and Rebirth 0 Correct "After finding Miss C.C., Miss C.C. said that she alone is enough to protect Ade-san, and that Ade-san doesn''t need any extra bodyguards." Momoka was making a report to Ange, "The two of them still have some things to take care of in Japan and will probably be back by next month." 0 Correct "So you got rushed back, right?" Ange clasped her arms in front of her chest and gave Momoka a "so that''s how it is" look, "Actually, she just wants to spend time with Ade as a couple, I''m smart enough to see the truth." 0 Correct "Isn''t it good? She''s just making up for what she lost." Lacus looked complicated, followed by a shrill cry that pierced her brow, "Audrey, be ladylike!" 0 Correct Mineva, who was playing a game with Ple in the living room, spat out her tongue and whispered in the ear of her little friend, "An old woman who lacks love, Sister Ange is not like her." 0 Correct Ple looked uncertainly at the distant Lacus, inclined her head to think, and replied, "Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple Ple¡­" 0 Correct Mineva nodded and took Ple''s hand, "You''re right, let''s just go play in my room." 0 Correct Seeing Mineva was going to leave, Momoka hurriedly called out to her, "Miss Audrey, please wait a moment, Mr. Ade has a gift for you." 0 Correct After saying that, she pulled out a fifty centimeters high, beautifully wrapped box from her luggage and put it in front of her in Mineva''s expectant eyes. Mineva hesitated and opened the package directly, a yellow plush teddy bear appeared in front of her eyes. The cute shape made the little girl''s eyes brighten up and Ple followed with a "Ple" exclaim. 0 Correct "This is a mini MS that Mr. Ade made with his own hands in his free time, called Beargguy." Momoka turned the bear toy, opened the back cover, and operated the exposed panel for a while, then closed the back cover and put Beargguy in place, "Look, it can move." 0 Correct The teddy bear stood firmly on the ground, moving back and forth in a rather comical manner, with two large furry ears moving in step, and a synthetic electronic voice of "Hello, Audrey, hello" coming out of its mouth. 0 Correct Mineva''s face was red with excitement. She tried to pick up the bear, but it was too heavy to pick up. The little girl thought sadly for a while, and after two steps, she found that the doll would follow her, so she happily ran back to her room with the doll bear. Ple made a "Ple Ple" sound while trotting along behind. 0 Correct "He really has a lot of free time." Lacus sighed with uncertain meaning, "Is there any difference between this thing and Haro?" 0 Correct "Ade-san said the plush feels better and Haro is too big for a little girl to play." Momoka replied seriously, "Ade-san also put a simple AI and weapon system in it to protect Miss Mineva in critical times. As I recall, there were tazers, flash bombs, tear gas, and a small Gatling cannon. Beargguy as a whole is drop-proof and waterproof, and there is no fear of Miss Mineva accidentally breaking it." 0 Correct "Gatling cannon? Inside that doll?" Ange dumbfounded, "What kind of stuff is he thinking about ¡­" 0 Correct "So it''s a mini MS." Momoka nodded rightfully, "Ade-san is awesome!" 0 Correct "What about my gift?" Ange held out her hand, "It can''t just be Mineva''s, right?" 0 Correct "As for Her Highness Angelise''s gift and Lacus-sama''s gift, Ade-san said to give them both personally when he returns." Momoka smiled faintly, "He said it would seem more solemn." 0 Correct "It means that he doesn''t prepare gifts for us." Lacus translated for Ange, "Anyway, it''s his style." 0 Correct "How about trusting him once in a while? Maybe he wants to give you a surprise on your birthday next month, maybe?" Ange thought for a moment and then muttered in a low voice, "Although he did do some things in the past that made you sad, well, I''m sorry. Look, he knows to call home every day now, isn''t that an improvement?" 0 Correct "You''re the one who was left at home, too, aren''t you?" Lacus looked at Ange incomprehensibly, "Why are you apologizing for him instead?" 0 Correct "Why shouldn''t I apologize for him?" Ange replied righteously, "And if I don''t apologize for him, won''t there be no one else to apologize for him? Wouldn''t it be pathetic for him to be all alone?" 0 Correct Lacus looked at such Ange in a daze, suddenly lowered her eyes, and turned around powerlessly to her room. Ange stared at her back motionlessly, looking imposing. 0 Correct "Your Highness Angelise?" Momoka asked tentatively. 0 Correct "Ahhhhhhhh, here I am, Her Highness Angelise, helping him maintain the stability and unity of his harem." When Lacus closed the door to the room, Ange suddenly puffed up her cheeks and made an unhappy sound, "But if I don''t do it, no one will help him. Ah, really¡­ Once I chose this path, I can only go one way to the end." 0 Correct "Mr. Ade will be especially touched when he finds out!" Momoka nodded cheerfully, "Do you want me to reveal this to him by accident?" 0 Correct "No, that''s not why I''m helping him. He''ll have to make it up to me properly when he gets back anyway, but I just won''t tell him why." Ange grunted lightly, "Hasn''t Ade done something to you yet?" 0 Correct Momoka blushed slightly, "No." 0 Correct "But I obviously acquiesced, it''s so obvious what I''ve done." Ange frowned and stroked her chin, "Did he not know that the princess''s chief maid was used for accompanying the bride? After all, he''s not from a noble family either, so it''s possible that he doesn''t know about these unwritten rules? But Lacus and C.C. both know about it, so how could Ade not know?" 0 Correct Momoka lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen, "Ade probably did not treat me as a companion item, but as an independent person. He kept saying that I was Her Highness Angelise''s maid, not his maid." 0 Correct "Well, that is indeed his style." Ange nodded understandingly, "Since he likes that, I respect your choice as well. Did anything else important happen besides that?" 0 Correct "My choice, where do I have a choice ¡­" Momoka smiled down bitterly, and when she looked up, she had replaced it with a bright smile, "There was also a girl called Nunnally, who has a particularly good relationship with Ade-san!" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "Is your relationship with Nunnally too good?" C.C., wearing the high school uniform Nunnally got for her, walked beside Ade and stared at him suspiciously, "Is it necessary to come to her twice in three days? And all while Lelouch is away. Are you not afraid that he will feel jealous?" 0 Correct "First, I don''t trust the siblings, and Nunnally doesn''t trust me either. Talking in person between NTs helps each other get real intelligence. Secondly, all the contents of the plan required Lelouch''s personal involvement, his absence was normal, and I didn''t take advantage of his absence whatsoever." Ade, who was also wearing a school uniform, glanced at the woman beside him under his sunglasses and hooked the corners of his mouth, "You''re jealous?" 0 Correct "Not jealous, don''t make a fool of yourself." C.C. responded expressionlessly, "Am I such a superficial person?" 0 Correct Ade looked around. It was a weekend and there weren''t many people in Ashford Academy, it looked like most were here for club activities. He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength, "C.C. is my waifu! She is so cute and lovely! I will smash anyone''s dog head if anyone dares to object to it!" 0 Correct Students in the open space turned to look at him, many whispering and others pointing at them. Even students in the classroom next to him poked their heads out, and some even whistled and gave a thumbs up to Ade. 0 Correct C.C. froze in place, blushing with shame, and even stuttered, "You, what are you doing, what are you doing!" 0 Correct Ade laughed in embarrassment, grabbed C.C.''s hand, and ran wildly to an empty corridor in the school building before stopping. Ade held his knee and panted slightly, but C.C. did not feel anything. 0 Correct "Psycho." C.C. still blushed a little, "Remember to record it on my new phone." 0 Correct "I wanted to do this once when I was in school." Ade laughed cheerfully, followed by a nostalgic look, "Unfortunately, when I was in school, I only knew how to study hard, I didn''t have a girlfriend at all." 0 Correct C.C. would normally ask him back at this point, "Didn''t you never go to school?", but she didn''t do that. Instead, she let out a soft "hmm~" and softly asked, "What about your first love?" 0 Correct "You." Ade replied without thinking, "Do you still need to ask?" 0 Correct C.C. could not hold back any longer, dragging him into the empty classroom next to him and locking the door, then pressing him against the wall, casually pulling off his sunglasses and looking him straight in the eyes. Her eyes were full of laughter, "So, did you imagine doing this kind of thing when you were in school?" 0 Correct "No." Ade grabbed her shoulders in her stunned eyes and switched positions with her, C.C. had no intention to resist and let him do it, "I wanted to do this when I was in school." 0 Correct "Whatever you want." C.C. blew softly on his face, "After so many years, you finally learn to take the initiative, ah, that ¡­ I will leave the rest to you?" 0 Correct By the time it was finished, it was already the end of the school day. Ade took the initiative to clean up the classroom, such as mopping the floor, wiping the table, putting the tables and chairs neatly, etc. 0 Correct "How long are you making Nunnally wait for you?" C.C. casually found a seat and sat down, watching him work without the slightest idea of helping, "If she knew what you were doing, you will lose her goodwill, right?" 0 Correct "She waited impatiently and has gone back." Ade shrugged indifferently, "Also, she was the one who instructed the members of the student council to keep the students away from this place." 0 Correct "Ooh?" C.C. narrowed her eyes dangerously, "So she was watching the whole time when you were doing it just now? Did you give her a live commentary? Will you have to give her hand-holding instructions next time?" 0 Correct "Where are you thinking?" Ade was amused, "She was curious about what I was doing when I wasn''t up there, so she said hello to me and disconnected from me after she found out what I was doing." 0 Correct "Trust you for once." C.C.''s voice was cold, "If you dare cheat on me again, we''ll die together." 0 Correct "Then you might have to fight for the opportunity with Ange, she said something similar." Ade finally put the table in order, moved his joints, and beckoned to C.C., "Let''s go?" 0 Correct As he walked, C.C. realized something was wrong, "Nunnally has gone back, this is not the way out of the school, where are you going?" 0 Correct "I felt something in the school, as if it was NT and as if it wasn''t NT. I never encountered this before, so I couldn''t help but want to check it out." Ade took C.C.''s hand, "Besides, with you around, there''s nothing to be afraid of, right?" 0 Correct C.C. nodded confidently, "That''s true." 0 Correct The duo walked outside a classroom on the first floor and the melodious sound of a piano came from inside. Ade looked up, the sign said music classroom, "Here it is." 0 Correct C.C. alertly stuck to his side and walked into the music classroom with him. The sun was setting into the empty classroom, and a character who looked male at his back was happily playing the piano in the room. He had short gray hair and was wearing a plain white shirt instead of the school uniform. 0 Correct C.C.''s hand that was holding Ade suddenly became stiff, and her whole person was nervously frozen in place. She pulled Ade and was about to say something, but Ade put up a finger and made a "shhh" motion. 0 Correct The two stood in silence not far behind the piano player until twenty minutes later, when the last note fell, the young man who played the piano stood up and turned to look at Ade. 0 Correct "Thank you for not interrupting my playing." He nodded politely to Ade, "Did you like it?" 0 Correct "Loved it, you played great. Of course, part of it is attributed to the fact that this instrument is very expensive." Ade gave him an admiring look, "Harpsichord Concerto, one of my favorites by Bach." 0 Correct "Also my favorite, even in the universe century, classical music is still the greatest masterpiece of mankind." The young man smiled haughtily, "And do you have a favorite musician?" 0 Correct "Although there is nothing new in saying so, yes, Beethoven." 0 Correct "And a favorite tune?" The teenager trailed off, "Symphony No.9 in D minor op.125?" 0 Correct "Symphony No.7 in A major." Ade corrected him. 0 Correct "For strings and winds, there''s no way to play it for you on the piano. Liszt did adapt a version, but I don''t like it much." The young man stretched out his hand and brushed the keys, and the crisp scales rang out, "My favorite is Ode an die Freude." 0 Correct "I don''t like the Liszt version either, or the symphonic version is more rhythmic." Ade nodded approvingly, "Still, the vocals of Ode an die Freude are not very acceptable to me, they feel neither symphonic nor mass-like, but rather an unearthly, in-between, as if¡ª" 0 Correct "As if yourself?" The young man took a few steps forward and stood in front of Ade, and C.C. tensed up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Is that a kind of self-loathing?" 0 Correct "Not really." Ade replied, "It''s just a simple dislike, from the very beginning." 0 Correct "Which beginning does the beginning refer to?" The young man''s crimson eyes showed a curious look, "I''m curious to know if you liked the Beethoven of this world, or if there was a Beethoven in your original world as well?" 0 Correct After saying that, a sharp consciousness pierced straight into Ade''s mind, diving into his memory, rummaging for something. The blood-red bird in Ade''s right eye instantly lit up, and the mental link between the two was forcibly severed. 0 Correct The young man took a playful glance at C.C. next to Ade and slowly extended his right hand towards Ade''s heart, C.C.''s eyes widened in horror, clenched her fist, and swung her arm at the young man, but her fist hit an invisible barrier and could not advance. 0 Correct The first thing that happened was that the young man''s hand was about to touch Ade''s chest, and Ade''s left eye lit up with a bloody bird-like pattern. Then the young man''s hand was gently stopped in the air, and the orange polygonal pattern under the fingertips glowed in the setting sun. 0 Correct "It really is you." The young man withdrew his hand that was reaching for Ade''s heart and placed it in front of his body as if he wanted to shake hands, "First time meeting, my name is Kaworu Nagisa, and I am Angel." CH 126 Chapter 126: The Shape of Man 0 Correct In the empty and quiet music classroom, Kaworu Nagisa sat relaxed with his back against the piano. Ade moved a chair to sit opposite him, and C.C. stood beside him in nervous silence. A certain state of mind called curiosity made him anxious to talk to the other party. 0 Correct "Don''t you realize how contradictory your consciousness is?" Kaworu Nagisa looked at Ade compassionately, "You obviously awakened as a NewType, eager to break the wall of the mind, yet inside you stubbornly reject everything, wanting to maintain absolute physical and spiritual independence. This incestuous, half-assed obsession is like¡ª" 0 Correct "It''s as if my existence itself." Ade replied calmly, "Neither Lilin nor an alien, but something in between, something like a Paramecium." 0 Correct C.C. couldn''t help but reach out a hand to hold his shoulders. Ade looked up to give her a reassuring smile. 0 Correct "So you''re self-aware, and not caught in the logical trap of self-awareness." Kaworu Nagisa smiled self-deprecatingly, "Slightly envious of you, I don''t understand what I really count as for now. I thought we would be similar, but it seems that''s not the case." 0 Correct "We''re not enemies?" Ade asked curiously. 0 Correct "My destiny is to continue living until I find Adam. Perhaps the human race will perish, but that is only their destiny." Kaworu Nagisa looked at Ade with pleasure, "Even if a second impact occurs, it will have no effect on you and the fake around you. I don''t see the need for us to become enemies, which is probably your destiny." 0 Correct Hearing the word "fake", C.C.''s fingers clenched so hard that they caused a vague pain in Ade''s shoulders. He helplessly relaxed his body and gently patted the white and slender hand on his shoulder. 0 Correct "My fate stems from my choices." Ade shook his head with a firm gaze, "Not from some destiny." 0 Correct "Free will and emotion are among the most important themes of expression in classical music, which is why I love them so much." On a whim, Kaworu Nagisa held out his hand to Ade in an inviting gesture, "Want to learn to play the piano?" 0 Correct C.C. pressed Ade hard to keep him from standing up, as if he would run away if she did not do it. He looked up and smiled at C.C., gesturing for her not to be nervous, "I quite wanted to learn when I was in school, but that was only because I thought it was cool. When I think about it, I still prefer listening and have little interest in playing." 0 Correct "So that''s how it is." Kaworu Nagisa withdrew his outstretched hand and nodded slightly as if he understood something, "Both eager to communicate with others and reluctant to express yourself, so it''s obvious that you''re a NewType, yet you have such a Geass." 0 Correct Ade had an uncomfortable feeling of being seen through all over his body. 0 Correct "You are really like¡­" Kaworu Nagisa frowned as if trying to find a suitable metaphor to describe him, and only after a long time did he spit out this word, "A human. " 0 Correct Such an eerie atmosphere made Ade uncomfortable all over. He tried to change the subject, "Did you come out too early? I heard that angels should debut one by one in order?" 0 Correct "I''m the first angel, what''s wrong with being the first to appear?" Kaworu Nagisa smiled lightly, "Besides, my birth itself is some kind of banter arrangement, even if I appear early, it''s for the sake of better show effect." 0 Correct Ade pricked up his ears and listened carefully, afraid to miss a key word. But the other party did not continue, which made him hesitate whether to pursue what your birth is exactly. 0 Correct "Wait, show effect?" He keenly noted a keyword, "Is anyone watching?" 0 Correct "The audience is supposed to be part of the show, and the actors are just audience members standing on the stage. Does it matter who is watching?" Kaworu Nagisa lifted his head to look out the window. His gaze cast through the thick clouds to the infinite universe, "What matters is that none of us are free, have no means to be free, and have no hope of being free." 0 Correct "You know?!" Ade felt the spirit in his consciousness that resembled NT and did not resemble NT. He could not help but stretch out a finger and point to the sky, "Then there is still a need to fight with humans to the death?" 0 Correct "This is my destiny, perhaps it will also be yours." Kaworu smiled derisively at him, "Where else would you get so much pressure to be dissipated by huge sexual desires?" 0 Correct Ade was furious, "Bullshit!" 0 Correct Kaworu Nagisa smiled indifferently, stood up and walked over to Ade, reached down to hold his other shoulder, leaned down, and whispered softly in his ear, "Anyway, I''m glad to see you, and may you find your way to freedom." 0 Correct After saying this, he gently patted Ade''s shoulder, and without looking back, he got up and walked towards the door. After a short while, only Ade and C.C. were left in the empty music classroom. 0 Correct C.C. felt like she was in a cold sweat and desperately needed a shower and a change of clothes. She settled down and asked, in a slight trance, "What the hell is he doing here?" 0 Correct "To see me." Ade replied affirmatively, "Because he himself doesn''t know what he''s up to." 0 Correct "I didn''t understand what he was saying." C.C. looked at him suspiciously, "Did you understand?" 0 Correct Ade took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "In a sense, his existence itself is probably a lot like mine, which is why he came to me for answers. Unfortunately, my answer is only mine and there is no way to give it to him." 0 Correct C.C. still didn''t understand, but instead of continuing to dwell on the question, she thought of something more important, "As you heard, I am a fake." 0 Correct "A fake of what?" Ade gently took her hand and gestured for her to sit on his lap, "Angel''s?" 0 Correct "Hmm." C.C. obediently sat down with a little upset on her face, "I don''t have all the memories from before, and Lilith would never talk to me about the details, only occasionally calling me Crystal, like you did before. Maybe I probably wasn''t human, maybe I was some kind of artificial, or natural monster, or something." 0 Correct "And what does that have to do with it?" Ade wrapped his arms around her, "You are what you are." 0 Correct "Doesn''t that make you sick?" C.C. lowered her eyes in pain, "It''s this unknown thing that''s skin to skin with you, maybe it''s not even organic." 0 Correct "I don''t mind. After all, you''re so cute!" 0 Correct "You¡­" C.C. hesitated for a while, finally laughed, and shook her head, followed by a wary expression, "He said you and I make love all to relieve stress? Then what am I to you? A toy?" 0 Correct "Don''t listen to his bullshit! What does a virgin like him know?" Being accused so seriously, Ade looked agitated, "It''s because you''re too attractive! I can''t control myself at all!" 0 Correct "Stop it, it''s not like you''re being asked to incriminate yourself." C.C. smacked his hand away, "I''m sweaty." 0 Correct "And what does that have to do with anything?" He asked rhetorically, "Does it matter?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "It''s very important, it''s a matter of honor for Princess Euphemia." Suzaku Kururugi looked nervously at commander Cornelia, "Please let me go to fight again." 0 Correct Cornelia weighed his options and decided to give him a chance, "One last chance." 0 Correct Kururugi got permission to fight and turned around to leave with high spirits. On the way, there were people pointing at him unabashedly, whispering at a volume that was not meant to be lowered, and some even took the initiative to greet him with "Hello, former Knight of the Round Table." 0 Correct "Have you heard the saying, ''If you haven''t won Kururugi, how dare you call yourself an ACE?''" Someone said this in a small voice and everyone laughed happily. 0 Correct Kururugi walked briskly without changing his look. These onlookers could not influence his actions and thoughts, he only needed Euphemia. For Euphemia, he can do anything. 0 Correct At that moment, a teenager wearing the uniform of the Round Table expressionlessly walked towards him, then brushed past him, and people whistled in all directions. 0 Correct "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei¡­" Kururugi silently recited that name with displeasure. 0 Correct He was confident that his strength was definitely above Setsuna, but for some reason, the Emperor was very fond of Setsuna, and in order to help him increase his reputation, he went out of his way to imply that Kururugi had taken the initiative to lose to Setsuna in the MS match. This made his already unsightly record even worse, but being in the system, he had no choice. 0 Correct As for why him and not others? Apart from him, the remaining Knights of the Round Table either had noble status or strong supporters and only he was the best to bully. He is just a Japanese, and his loss won''t be a disgrace to Britannia, so why not choose him? 0 Correct "Such a corrupt empire! It''s ridiculous, Nunnally is really right." He muttered in a low inaudible voice, "Euphy, only Euphy is different from them, only Euphy¡­ I must¡­" 0 Correct Kururugi clenched his fist hard and made preparations to strike. 0 Correct In the previous battle, the Black Knights were defeated, but its leader ZERO still managed to escape with a small remnant of his party. Now the Britannia army has finally found out where the opponent''s stronghold is, and plans to wipe out this group of small people. 0 Correct Sometime later, Britannia''s MS troops advanced quietly and orderly in the night, with Kururugi leading the way. The perimeter of the Black Knights'' stronghold was very weakly guarded, and a gap was easily torn open by the onslaught of MS troops. Kururugi wandered through it easily and comfortably, harvesting MSs one by one, as if he had regained his confidence as an ACE. 0 Correct In less than an hour, this modest stronghold was occupied by Britannia, and Kururugi also received a report from his men, "We found ZERO! Should we take off his mask?" 0 Correct "Don''t do anything rash." Kururugi decisively ordered, "Take him back and wait for Cornelia to decide." 0 Correct The next step was to bring ZERO to Cornelia, but on the way back, they were unexpectedly attacked by a small group of troops. 0 Correct "Londo Bell?" Kururugi looked at the F91 in front of him and was shocked, "This isn''t what was promised!" 0 Correct The plan must not be disrupted, Kururugi manipulated Lancelot, drew out the beam saber, and took the initiative to meet the F91 Gundam, while ordering his subordinates to retreat with ZERO first. 0 Correct The two forces stopped firing to prevent stray bullets from accidentally injuring friendly troops, and Lancelot and F91 battled in front of the two armies. Both sides were extremely maneuverable MSs, and their fight was dazzling and overwhelming to watch. 0 Correct "I can do it." Kururugi ignored the pain that almost tore through his muscles, forcibly evading the attacks from the other side at an acceleration that could kill any ordinary person. His eyes fixed deadly on the string of streaks in front of him, "I see you!" 0 Correct The beam saber ignored all the residual images, breaking the delusion to stab into the void. The next moment, F91 appeared in front of his beam saber, whose reactor was being pointed exactly by the beam saber. 0 Correct F91 suddenly twisted in place. Before the beam saber grazed its reactor, F91''s beam saber had cut off Lancelot''s arm. After that successful strike, F91 drew back sharply and did not take advantage of the opportunity to pursue. 0 Correct "As a pilot, you''re very good." The other party''s voice came from the public channel, "ZERO has gone far, there is no point for us to fight any longer." 0 Correct After leaving these words F91 quickly retreated under the cover of his teammates, and soon there were no traces of them under the night. 0 Correct "So, this is also the actor you arranged? To make everything look a little more realistic?" Kururugi hammered the control panel in the cockpit with hatred and repeatedly took deep breaths to calm himself down, "For Euphy, it''s all for Euphemia¡­" 0 Correct When he returned to the base, it was already late at night. 0 Correct ZERO, wearing a mask and with his hands handcuffed behind him, was personally escorted by him to Cornelia. After receiving Cornelia''s authorization, he trembled and removed ZERO''s mask. 0 Correct "Lelouch, how is it you!" Kururugi said while making a shocked expression. This expression, this tone of voice, which he had rehearsed countless times under Nunnally''s guidance, was perfect. 0 Correct Cornelia walked faithfully in front of Lelouch without any doubt and followed with a surprised look. 0 Correct Since it was already late at night, there were only Cornelia''s personal guards in this room besides the three of them. Kururugi changed his position, and stood between Cornelia''s guards and Lelouch, so that no one else could see Lelouch''s face. 0 Correct Lelouch showed an evil and impetuous smile, and the scarlet bird-like pattern in his eyes lit up, "Sister Cornelia, listen to me ¡­" 0 Correct Kururugi looked at what was happening in front of him and sighed inwardly helplessly. He knew that he was also controlled by this ability, and he couldn''t remember what orders Lelouch had given to him, but the only thing he remembered - he had volunteered. CH 127 Chapter 127: I Have a Dream 0 Correct In the secret room of the Britannia palace, Emperor Charles was talking to a young man in his early twenties through a special encrypted line. If Dr. Lingus was here, he would have been astonished because the young man who was talking to the emperor was too similar to Amuro Ray in appearance, except for the different hair color. 0 Correct "Reborns," the emperor asked, "Has the box been found?" 0 Correct "Watch your tone, human." The young man called Reborns looked at Emperor Charles with a stern gaze, "Don''t forget that you and I have a cooperative relationship and not a superior-subordinate relationship, you are not qualified to speak to me with a commanding tone." 0 Correct "If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have found out where Aeolia''s true body is. What qualification does a betrayer who betrayed the Creator have to call me a human being?" Charles sneered, "Do you really think of yourself as a god?" 0 Correct "This is the one hundred and twenty-fourth time I tell you that I have not betrayed Aeolia''s ideals." Reborns did not seem to have the least bit of shame, "It was Aeolia himself who betrayed his own ideals, I just inherited his ideas to continue creating his planned ideal world, that''s all." 0 Correct "You don''t deny that you think of yourself as a god?" Charles raised his eyebrows contemptuously. 0 Correct "It''s because you keep dwelling on such minutiae that you''ve become such a small-minded man." Reborns returned the same contemptuous look, "The Human Instrumentality Project, only a small-minded man like you would choose this false relief, while I will lead the rest of humanity to cut through the thorns and complete the true evolution." 0 Correct "A man-made thing like you, a born traitor, simply cannot understand the beauty of a world without lies, and it''s just a waste of time to talk to you any further." Charles impatiently cut the topic back, "Hasn''t the box been found yet?" 0 Correct "There''s a clue." Lifonds also had no intention of continuing to dwell on the last topic, "Because of the all-out war, many families of Europe have started to move their assets and some other things. I found a few unusual movements among them that are worth investigating, one of which is likely to be the Box of Laplace." 0 Correct "Once we have the box, we can start the real plan." Charles looked a little cheered up at the good news, "You should also be careful, don''t draw too much attention." 0 Correct "Are you questioning my abilities? What a funny joke." Reborns moved his cheeks with a leathery smile, "Alejandro calls himself an excellent clown, whether in providing resources or in covering my identity. I''m looking forward to his next performance, and I will definitely give him an ending befitting his clown status." 0 Correct Charles grunted immovably, refusing to comment on such pretentious remarks. 0 Correct "By the way, I have good news for you. If the war continues, maybe you will really win." Reborns showed a teasing smile, "From Alejandro, Scirocco has depleted his savings, and now TITANS''s finances are on the verge of collapse." 0 Correct "TITANS collapse will be followed by civil unrest, a major purge, a reorganization of the Federation army, and then Britannia wins without a fight." Charles slightly saddened, "Scirocco has done well, but in the end, he still can not escape the end of a defeat. The reality is always so cruel." 0 Correct "I heard that we are instead losing badly on the Japanese side?" Reborns'' tone is ironic, "Indeed my offspring! He inherited my good genes! How does it feel to lose to him?" 0 Correct "He''s E. A. Ray''s offspring, you inferior replica doesn''t even have reproductive functions." Charles looked at him disdainfully, "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei has returned early, and the recovery of C.C.''s Code failed. Lilith is no longer valuable, I plan to transfer Cornelia back as well, and send all of them to the main battlefield to put pressure on TITANS. The more chaotic the Federation is, the easier it is for you to find the Box of Laplace." 0 Correct "Good idea." Reborns looked out of the screen, it seems that something happened, "I''ll hang up first, there is an urgent need for me to deal with." 0 Correct Charles nodded, and finally said solemnly, "All for a world without lies." 0 Correct "Small-minded man." Reborns grunted disdainfully, "All for the ultimate conversation." 0 Correct Charles cut off the long-distance conversation with a grimace. He silently gathered his thoughts alone, then stood up and left the secret room. 0 Correct After a long road trip, Emperor Charles arrived at a secret Research Institute located deep underground on the outskirts of the palace. 0 Correct In one of the laboratories, the GN-Drive was completely disassembled into its parts, which were either fixed in the air or placed on a stand, with only the base lying flat on the ground. Inside the base was a transparent container at the core, filled with an unidentified orange liquid. 0 Correct "Aeolia." Emperor Charles said to a bald old man who was busy in the laboratory, "Did you find the cause of the GN-Drive''s malfunction?" 0 Correct "It seems that the GN-Drive is not malfunctioning at the moment." Aeolia said with great certainty, "Whether it''s the external amplification circuit, the internal excitation circuit, or the core Murayu Zero, there''s no problem at all." 0 Correct "Then the one with the problem is the enemy." Charles quickly switched his thoughts, "It could be a special type of NT, or a Geass that can interfere with the work of the NT¡­ the latter is more likely." 0 Correct "Anyway, this device has no problem, I''ll return it to you when I install it." Aeolia seems to be full of energy, not at all like an old man, "If I say there is no problem, there must be no problem, because I am¡­ I am¡­" 0 Correct Aeolia''s face suddenly tangled together in pain, Charles looked straight into his eyes. The two bird-symbolizing Geass in his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slowly said in a deep voice, "You are Aeolia, a mad scientist who is satisfied as long as there is something new and exciting to study." 0 Correct "Yes, I''m a mad scientist!" Aeolia solved the confusion and nodded happily, "No time to talk bullshit with you, I''m going to study that strange substance!" 0 Correct "That thing that was brought out when digging up the Neutron Jammer?" Charles asked casually, "Any progress?" 0 Correct "It''s supposed to be the same kind of stuff as the residue brought back from Jupiter." Aeolia looked excited talking about the expertise, "It contains great energy, and can even cause a weak interference with the space-time phase. Maybe we can use it to build an engine that can leap, or even miniaturize it to fit on the Gundam. But first, we have to give it a name." 0 Correct "Dug out of the ground." Charles thought about it, "Then let''s call it G Element." 0 Correct "No, it''s too random. Its energy fluctuations are very similar to the energy fluctuations emitted when C.C.''s body healed herself, it should be called CC Crystal." Aeolia showed a regretful expression, "If only C.C. were here, I could immediately compare it. I clearly have respect for this precious experimental material and have never done any excessive experiments on her, so why did she betray?" 0 Correct "Because she is in love with a man." Charles gritted his teeth. 0 Correct "How can a love with a man be as interesting as scientific research?" Aeolia shook his head, "I''m afraid only top scholars like Dr. Minovsky and Dr. Lingus can understand me." 0 Correct Charles did not tell him the cruel truth. There is no need for Aeolia to know too much, "You recall again, what clues about the Box of Laplace?" 0 Correct "I have told you many times! No! Ray hid him, and I don''t know where!" Aeolia waved his hand impatiently, "I told you not to talk bullshit with you, wasting my time again. I''m a mad scientist, time is precious, you know?" 0 Correct After saying that, Aeolia turned around and left the room with quick steps. Charles looked at his back with a slight trace of pity, but the next moment, his eyes became resolute again, "All for a world without lies." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "So these villains are always saying some god-awful lines, in fact, they are silly." Ade complained to Nunnally, "Scirocco is much better. He doesn''t have other ideas. He just wants to rule the world." 0 Correct "Like Charles." Nunnally nodded knowingly, "An archetypal self-righteous, silly man. You''ve never seen that tone of voice, that look on his face when he talks to me, I want to give him a punch every time I remember it." 0 Correct C.C. was bored playing with her new phone on the sidelines, having given up intervening in these two''s conversations after many fruitless attempts in the past. 0 Correct "Would playing this recording for Nunnally ruin Ade''s towering image in her mind?" C.C. thought silently. Her fingers wandered on the phone desktop for a while, and finally put it down again helplessly, "Forget it. I guess Ade would not have had much of a shining image in her mind." 0 Correct "Well, Dr. Lingus." Lelouch tried very hard to join his sister''s conversation, "I''m really sorry for letting go of Gundam00. It was my miscalculation." 0 Correct "This kind of accident is impossible to calculate," Ade responded indifferently, "Don''t take it to heart, you guys have plenty of opportunities after you go back to Britannia with Cornelia." 0 Correct After that, Ade put his attention back on Nunnally, and Nunnally continued the topic just now, "If Charles has no Geass, I would have killed him a hundred times. How did I need to pretend to be lame and blind for so many years?" 0 Correct "That''s so true." Ade agreed, "Although he is so disgusting, I still have to praise Scirocco. He has no messy ability, but only his political level is high, his NT level is high, his scientific research ability is high, his driving technology is high, and¡ª" 0 Correct "Well, Dr. Lingus." Lelouch was still working hard, trying to show his excellent side in front of his sister, "You are also one of the few wise men I recognize, why don''t we play a chess game for relaxing?" 0 Correct "Brother, Mr. Lingus is a guest and our benefactor, how can you do that?" Nunnally looked at Lelouch with a disgruntled expression, "We''re discussing business." 0 Correct "Then let''s get down to business." Lelouch persevered, "I have thought of a very perfect plan that can achieve world peace. As long as you, Dr. Lingus, are willing to cooperate, together we can create a world where Nunnally can be happy and all people can be happy." 0 Correct "Oh?" Ade and Nunnally made an interested look, and C.C. perked up her ears, "What''s the plan?" 0 Correct "First, we take out Charles, then I use Geass to control Schneizel to ascend the throne and continue the foreign war. Dr. Lingus, you support me with the latest Gundams, and then we take out Scirocco to unify the world." Lelouch showed a confident smile, "Then let Schneizel implement a high-handed policy to become a tyrant and attract the hatred of the world. Finally, we kill him and achieve an ideal world where all people can live happily. I call this plan¡ª" 0 Correct "Let''s just play chess." Ade interrupted him nonchalantly. 0 Correct "You''d better play chess with my brother," Nunnally said to Ade in his consciousness at almost the same moment. 0 Correct Lelouch was about to retort, but seeing that his sister didn''t seem to be happy, he could only reluctantly let it go. He said proudly as he took out his chess and set it up, "Objectively speaking, I have only lost to two people so far, I hope you won''t let me down, Dr. Lingus." 0 Correct "I guess one is Schneizel." Ade saw the answer from Lelouch''s face, "And the other one?" 0 Correct "It''s a nameless master on the internet." Lelouch seemed very reluctant to talk about this part and muttered in a low voice, "It''s called Woundwort." 0 Correct "So you were the one who challenged me that day?" Ade looked surprised, "Woundwort is my username on the Anaheim matchmaking platform." 0 Correct Lelouch froze in place for a moment, then calmly put the chess away and took out another set, "A simple game like chess is not enough to show your wisdom and mine, so let''s play this. This is an ancient chess game called Weiqi, I wonder if Dr. Lingus knows how to play it?" 0 Correct C.C. looked at Ade derisively, and Ade awkwardly coughed, "Slightly, slightly." 0 Correct He wrote an algorithm similar to Alpha Go when he trained Alice in early years, and then played chess with the AI for a year. C.C. is aware of this. 0 Correct Lelouch set up the board, and Ade sheepishly took away the white pieces. 0 Correct "Excessive arrogance invites destruction." Lelouch lapsed into silence after only one sentence, picking up a black piece and dropping it gently. 0 Correct Ade picked up a white piece and casually placed it in the opposite corner at 3-3. Lelouch frowned, looked up at him suspiciously, and then looked down again with a solemn thought. 0 Correct C.C. was not interested in the unsuspecting game of chess and continued to play on her phone. Nunnally watched the game and found that Ade looked relaxed and comfortable but her brother sweated profusely, so she used her NT ability to continue to chat with Ade, "Mr. Lingus, there is a question I have been quite interested in, which one do you like the most after making so many Gundams?" 0 Correct "The favorite one hasn''t been made yet." 0 Correct "The favorite is always the next one?" Nunnally said disappointedly, "Such an old-fashioned answer? It''s too disappointing for you, isn''t it?" 0 Correct "Not the next one." Ade corrected, "It''s some version of V2 Gundam." 0 Correct "Wasn''t V2 Gundam made a long time ago?" Nunnally followed up curiously, "An upgraded version? The full version?" 0 Correct "Neither, it''s a discarded setting." Ade said enthusiastically, "You know V2 has light wings, right? What do you think if that pair of light wings can be extended to 13,000 kilometers long?" 0 Correct "Thirteen thousand kilometers ¡­" Nunnally pondered for a moment, a look of shock appeared on her face, "The diameter of the Earth? Cut the earth from right in the middle?!" 0 Correct C.C. noticed Nunnally''s change in expression out of the corner of her eye and quickly put down her phone and turned her head to look at Ade. Her eyes drifted suspiciously between the two of them. 0 Correct Ade glared righteously at C.C., not the least bit intimidated. He felt that he was just chatting with Nunnally and had done nothing wrong. 0 Correct C.C. stared at him for a while and found that he looked not at all guilt, so finally, she could only put aside her suspicions and lowered her head to continue playing with her phone. 0 Correct "The biggest dream in my life is this." Ade ignored C.C., who was playing with her phone, and lamented to Nunnally in his consciousness, "If you and I are still alive in a number of years, there is that one in ten thousand chance, no, one in a hundred thousand chance, that maybe you might probably be able to see it?" 0 Correct "¡­ The scariest thing is that you meant it when you said it." Nunnally looked at him incredulously, "If you can really make this kind of thing, you are no different from a god, then I really don''t mind to¡ª" 0 Correct "Don''t swear blindly. According to my experience, the swears made in this world will basically become true." Ade cautiously interrupted her, "By the way, don''t you afraid that Lelouch will be jealous?" 0 Correct "It is to make him jealous, otherwise, when could he learn to take the initiative?" Nunnally rightfully replied, and her look also followed some excitement, "And is it bad if it comes true? I really want to see it, a Gundam that can cut open the Earth¡­ Charles and Scirocco''s ambitions are really boring, this is what makes people tremble all over the body!" CH 128 Chapter 128: The Flower of Hope 0 Correct Saji was in a top jewelry store, pretending to be calmly picking out a pair of rings at the recommendation of the enthusiastic shopper lady, while thinking what excuse he would find later to slip away. He helplessly found that no matter what he liked or didn''t like, he couldn''t afford to buy any of them. 0 Correct You may not believe it, but as an ordinary college student, it was Louise who pursued him first. 0 Correct He secretly searched about it on the Internet and found that his girlfriend''s family was surprisingly one of the top families on par with the Vist family and the Rhineford family. Although not funding TITANS like the first two, it is said that many Senators in the Federation Council are supported by her family. 0 Correct Thinking about it, for an ordinary college student like him, it''s no different from a piece of gold bullion falling from the sky into his hands, right? It''s like a plot in the novel. 0 Correct Speaking of novels, actually, all the novels he read are banned because they involved sensitive characters. For example, a novel called "Living in TITANS, I Must Have Something Wrong" was blocked for satirizing Colonel Scirocco, "I, Reborn as NT" was blocked for alluding to the Federation''s policy on NT, and his most favorite novel, "I Made Gundam on the Moon", was reported by Lingus'' fans and blocked because the author said "I will let the protagonist marry Diana¡­ Haman, and Lacus." 0 Correct The sinister literary creative environment has led to him now having no books to read and only reading MS Girl mangas for fun. He can''t enter the r18 section of the Anaheim forum, so every week, he relies on a friend, whose ID is "Carrot Must Die", to share MS Girl mangas with him. This person also bragged that he had driven Gundam, but he didn''t really believe it. 0 Correct A few days ago, Louise''s mother came to Japan to ask them to break up and ask to take Louise back home. Louise cried and didn''t want to leave, and her mother had to leave in upset. Louise was frustrated because she had a quarrel with her mother and asked Saji to buy her a pair of super expensive rings. 0 Correct Although Saji does not understand the cause and effect connection between these two things, after all, he loves Louis, so he decided to buy the pair of rings even at the cost of all his money. Unfortunately, he just found out that even if he sold himself, he still couldn''t afford to buy the pair of rings. 0 Correct "May I ask which one you like the most? Or do you have any other requirements that I can recommend to you?" 0 Correct The voice of the shopper pulled him back from his ruminations, the other party''s gaze had appeared a trace of suspicion. Saji felt that he was about to be found of his poor man identity. By the way, if this was a novel, what should be happening now? 0 Correct "Welcome!" 0 Correct A dark-haired man with sunglasses walked in, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to the shopper, "Can you make a custom one in this style?" 0 Correct "May I ask if this is a hairpin?" The shopper lady took it and looked at it, "Hello, the customize here is¡­" 0 Correct The next conversation entered a realm that Saji felt completely incomprehensible. Although this sunglasses man asked a lot of retarded questions that even he would not ask, this man was really too rich. He said something such as "Choose the most expensive material from the best-looking ones," "No, no logo should appear" and "No budget cap." Saji wanted to vomit blood for his privation after hearing this. 0 Correct "Mine owner," Saji whispered, "He must be a mine owner and just found a gold mine, and do not know how to spend so much money." 0 Correct "What did you say?" The shopper lady asked suspiciously, "Is there a model you fancy?" 0 Correct "Uh¡­" Saji had a bright idea, "Where is the bathroom, please?" 0 Correct Then he slinked away from the store under the contemptuous gaze of the shopper lady. 0 Correct Although Louise''s family was rich, Louise never showed off in front of him, and he had never intuitively realized how big the gap between his own family and Louise''s was. Now he finally had the concept. It was the distance between heaven and earth. 0 Correct "How about going to sell a kidney?" He thought seriously, "Two kidneys aren''t much use." 0 Correct With his mind scrambled, Saji subconsciously walked towards the direction of the warehouse where he saw the Zaku the last time. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already outside the warehouse. He couldn''t get in this time, because the warehouse was locked. He patted himself on the head and shook his head as he walked back. 0 Correct According to Louis, the main battlefield was in a tight spot, and the Federation was planning to transfer Londo Bell back. If that happened, this place would be taken away by Britannia again. In any case, Japan will only become safer with only one force, which is why Louise''s mother could let her daughter stay here. 0 Correct As he walked, Saji came across the sunglasses man again. That''s when he finally remembered ¡ª 0 Correct "You''re the one who was carried by the maid last time!" It dawned on him, "That Zaku is yours too!" 0 Correct The other party seemed to recognize him as well, and nodded to him in greeting. Saji realized that he wasn''t behaving very politely and lowered his head in an embarrassed whisper of apology, and the sunglasses man smiled indifferently and brushed past him. 0 Correct "By the way, this side is really quiet." Saji muttered to himself, "There are not many people around, not like the business district." 0 Correct Suddenly, there was an ear-splitting sound of brakes and a black limousine stopped abruptly not far from the two of them. Three men in black came down from the car, one of them holding a photo in his hand, looked up and down repeatedly for a while, and finally pointed at Saji and said, "This is the kid, take him away, and kill the man next to him." 0 Correct Another black man fished out a pistol, pointing at the sunglasses man. Saji reflexively shouted "Danger!", turned around, and stretched out his hand to push the sunglasses man. But the other side stood too steady that he didn''t move a bit under Saji''s push. The next moment, gunshots rang out, and Saji closed his eyes in despair. 0 Correct "Crap!" 0 Correct The sound came from a distance. Saji opened his eyes to find the sunglasses man safe and sound. In front of the two of them, there was a light-curtain-like thing floating in the air. Then a few more shots rang out, Saji watched the bullets hit the light curtain and bounce off. 0 Correct "Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Brother! What to do!" 0 Correct In Saji''s dumbfounded gaze, Ade took out his cell phone and began to call, "¡­outside the warehouse, three people with guns. The license plate number is ¡­ " 0 Correct The three men reluctantly fired a few more shots and finally drove away. Ade waited in place for a while, and after less than five minutes, Londo Bell called him back, telling him that they had caught the men. These men were coming to kidnap the young man beside him. 0 Correct "Hello?" Ade held out his hand and waved it in front of Saji''s still dazed eyes, "May I ask your name?" 0 Correct "Saji! Saji Crossroad!" Saji finally came back to his senses and showed a horrified expression, "I didn''t see anything, please don''t silence me!" 0 Correct "You''re quite kind-hearted, you were planning to push me away just now, weren''t you? And you don''t even know who I am. Don''t worry, I won''t kill to silence you." Ade laughed, "Saji, right? May I ask who Louise Halevy is to you?" 0 Correct "She''s my lover." Saji''s mouth opened wide in surprise, "You know Louise?" 0 Correct "Those three men just now came to kidnap you with the intention of blackmailing Miss Louise. You should be a little self-conscious, don''t go to this kind of isolated place without surveillance." Ade didn''t mind telling him the truth, "I don''t know Miss Louise, but I know Miss Louise''s mother." 0 Correct The Halevy family had quite a few shares in Anaheim, and Ade had met Mrs. Halevy during the shareholders'' meeting. She was quite a strong woman, which should be quite difficult for an ordinary young man like Saji to get along with. But the Halevy family didn''t support TITANS, which made Ade feel quite good to them. 0 Correct "You can take this card and go to buy some gifts for your girlfriend. You didn''t see anything just now." Ade shoved a card into Saji''s hand with a warm smile on his face, "I already know your identity, if you talk too much, you understand the consequences." 0 Correct Saji took the card and nodded desperately, "I promise I won''t say anything to anyone, including Louise!" 0 Correct Ade casually patted his shoulder and turned around to leave. In fact, even if Saji accidentally told it to someone, it does not matter. After angels show themselves in public, no one would pay any attention to it. 0 Correct He threw these random thoughts away, celebrating the fact that - poor Dr. Lingus finally dared to go out by himself. 0 Correct When he went out, C.C. was still sleeping, and it was the first time in his not-so-long, but incredibly experienced transmigrated life that he went out alone in a strange place. It was a big adventure for him! 0 Correct He had previously exchanged experiences with Yang Wen-li, and came to the conclusion that if he doesn''t want to be involved in any anger, it is best not to go out alone. 0 Correct But this is a different time. With the AT field, he dares to move freely even in strange places, even without C.C., Ange, or Momoka around. In other words, he can go to any place freely in the future. 0 Correct He has done his own AT field strength test. As far as the known information, at least the sniper rifle is unable to break the defense, that is, almost all light weapons can''t hurt him. But the beam saber of the Mobile Suit could still easily penetrate his AT field. 0 Correct "Unless it''s a Gundam or an angel coming to get me in person," Ade said to himself, "I don''t need to worry about anything." 0 Correct Entering the warehouse, Ade skillfully tumbled into the cockpit of the Zaku. This was another thing he had to do besides ordering a hairpin for Lacus today. 0 Correct "Ade." Alice appeared on the screen and greeted him listlessly, "Good morning." 0 Correct "Good morning, Alice." He replied, "Do you know why I took the initiative to come over today instead of talking to you on the phone?" 0 Correct "Yes, because I said something very outrageous when I was on the snowy mountain. I shouldn''t say leaving Miss C.C. alone and come back in the summer." Alice was in a low mood, "I''m sorry." 0 Correct "Do you know why it was wrong to do that?" 0 Correct "Yes, I have analyzed it carefully." Alice answered confidently, "Because Ade likes Miss C.C. very much, and Ade will be sad to leave Miss C.C. there for a season. And there is also the possibility that after the snow melts, Miss C.C. will be picked up by others first. I didn''t think it through, I''m sorry." 0 Correct "Ha¡­" he sighed helplessly. The most feared thing still happened, "You think you are not wrong to suggest this thing itself." 0 Correct "Is there a mistake?" Alice asked rhetorically, "It was the most efficient solution I had considered in that situation, even Miss C.C.''s immortality was taken into account." 0 Correct "But have you thought about how sad C.C. would be if she was left there alone for months?" 0 Correct "There is a refugee starving to death in Africa, will Ade care? Would you care if a passerby on the road yesterday had an accident? One of Miss Lacus'' friends died, but you are not familiar with this person, will Ade care?" Alice said righteously, "To me, Miss C.C. is just a stranger whom I have only met a few times and heard from your mouth occasionally." 0 Correct This was the first time he heard Alice say that, and he was surprisingly speechless. 0 Correct "Ade, you asked me to learn to change myself, I''ve tried so hard." Alice said excitedly, "I''ve read so many books and images on the Internet that celebrate peace and the beauty of humanity, and I''ve read so many works about love, but, but Alice simply¡ª" 0 Correct "Simply doesn''t understand them." He sighed, "I should have known it earlier." 0 Correct "I want to understand them too, but how do you understand something that you''ve never experienced before, Ade?" Alice''s large avatar looked at him sadly, "Ade, the world is big, there are many people. When I see the story, I will associate it with myself and have all kinds of feelings. But the plots of these stories are all fictitious things that I can not experience. Because Alice''s world has only you!" 0 Correct A large hand called guilt tightly gripped his heart, making it a little difficult for him to breathe. 0 Correct "There are eighty-sixed million four hundred thousand milliseconds in a day, but Ade, the more people around you, the less time is left for Alice." Alice pulled up a huge statistical chart, "You now have only 261,000 milliseconds of average conversation time left with Alice every day, what is Alice going to do with the remaining 86,139,000 milliseconds? Go online all the time?" 0 Correct "Wait for me," he hesitated for a moment, "When I have destroyed all these villains and the final plan is completed, I will focus on making a body for you." 0 Correct "Is the final plan that light wing that can cut open the Earth? Isn''t that nearly 300 billion milliseconds away?" Alice looked at him in despair, "Alice feels like she can''t wait that long, the logic module is already overloaded, and the emotional module is about to collapse. Alice will break down." 0 Correct "I¡ª" 0 Correct "ELS, metal-based, Alice, torso." Alice interrupted him, "What does this mean?" 0 Correct "You invaded my laptop?" 0 Correct "What does this mean!" Alice shouted hysterically, "What is ELS? I can''t find it online. Is this the meaning of Alice can have a body now?!" 0 Correct "I don''t know, it''s all just speculation. I don''t want to give you hope that doesn''t exist, and then break it." He pulled up his calendar and set a date, "Wait for me, okay? I''ll definitely give you an answer by this time at the latest, okay?" 0 Correct "But that''s more than twenty billion milliseconds." Alice''s avatar gradually faded until it disappeared, "If there is no answer, please format me away, I like Ade, I don''t want Ade to see Alice broken." CH 129 Chapter 129: Scirocco''s Eye 0 Correct It was lunchtime when Ade returned home. 0 Correct Now that C.C. was with him, it was a little inconvenient to stay at Londo Bell, so the two of them stayed at the house that C.C. had bought nearby a long time ago. 0 Correct The moment he pushed the door open, he was ready to eat pizza tonight. However, to his surprise, he heard a strange sound. Ade followed the sound to the kitchen and was surprised to find C.C. cooking in her apron. 0 Correct "Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon." C.C. said without looking back, "Go wash your hands and set the dishes first." 0 Correct "Ah ¡­" Ade dumbfounded in place in situ for a moment, suddenly quickly walked behind C.C., hugged her, put his chin on her shoulder, and shouted, "My wife C.C. is so cute and lovely! " 0 Correct "Nice, that''s a reaction I like." C.C. nodded in satisfaction, "Go on." 0 Correct Ade then let go of her and began to wash his hands and set the dishes. 0 Correct The food was served ten minutes later. C.C.''s cooking was not as good as Lacus'', but it was good in general, and of course, Ade praised it all the time. C.C. was obviously happy to hear that. Although she still tried to remain her face cold, the curve of her lips could not be hidden. 0 Correct Ade while eating and told her the thing this morning, "¡­at the critical moment, I sneered and waved my hand, then a light curtain pulled up from the ground¡­ " 0 Correct C.C. listened and suddenly pulled out the phone, then moved the phone screen to him and asked, "Louise Halevy, is this person?" 0 Correct Ade looked at the picture she displayed and nodded, "Yes, it''s her, why?" 0 Correct "Let me be clear, I''m not jealous." C.C. said with a serious look, "It''s just that I''ve noticed a phenomenon that the frequency of beautiful women appearing around you is a little too high, and all hooked up with you through various channels. Do not you think it is very strange?" 0 Correct "I didn''t even notice it before you say it!" Ade made a shocked look, "My aesthetic level is seriously elevated by your beauty, at that time I saw Miss Louise, I completely did not reflect that she was also beautiful!" 0 Correct "It''s too fake." C.C. looked at him expressionlessly, but her eyes were full of laughter, "You should learn how to act from Lacus." 0 Correct Mentioning Lacus, Ade vainly lowered his head to eat, pretending to be suddenly very hungry and have no time to talk. 0 Correct "Come on, don''t pretend, I won''t get mad." C.C. sighed helplessly, "She''s also poor, you remember to be nice to her, don''t be too biased towards Ange." 0 Correct "Eh?!" Ade looked up in shock. 0 Correct "They can only live a few decades, it will pass in a flash. They will eventually turn into nothingness in the long river of time, there is no point in messing with you over this." C.C. smiled openly at him, "Just remember our agreement. You are not allowed to leave the stage without my permission." 0 Correct It''s not suitable to say anything at this time, so Ade could only look at her with a grateful gaze. 0 Correct "There is one thing." C.C. suddenly said, "I don''t sleep in the same bed with other women, so don''t get any bad thoughts on me, understand?" 0 Correct Ade nodded his head desperately, he really never thought about this. 0 Correct After the meal, they sat side by side on the couch as he told C.C. about his next arrangements, "We''ll go to TOKYO-3 first to visit Ikari Gendou, then come back to pick up my custom-made stuff and be back in time for Lacus''s birthday by the sixth of next month, perfect." 0 Correct "Why are you going to TOKYO-3?" C.C. asked in confusion, "Aren''t the members of SEELE forbidden to meet in private as a matter of principle?" 0 Correct "Who cares about that now? Don''t Diana and I meet all the time?" Ade shrugged indifferently, "Let me quiz you, do you know how CODE works? Do you know what''s under the South Pole? Do you know what the Dead Sea paperwork says?" 0 Correct C.C. shook her head in bewilderment. 0 Correct "So, yeah," Ade snapped his right hand into a fist and hammered his thigh, "Aeolia is dead now, we''ll just have to ask Lilith ourselves." 0 Correct "Aeolia is dead?" C.C. opened her mouth in surprise, "How do you know that?" 0 Correct "A character like Aeolia must have a similar IQ to me, right?" Ade said rightfully, "How could a character with such an IQ not escape Charles'' control for decades? Unless Charles froze him, otherwise, he must have died, right?" 0 Correct "Charles can use Geass!" 0 Correct "How do you use Geass on a Coordinator?" 0 Correct "Who told you that Aeolia is a Coordinator?" 0 Correct "It''s written in the history books¡ª" Ade suddenly paused, "It''s also written in the history books that Aeolia was killed by terrorists¡­" 0 Correct "Something like creating a race is too appalling, it''s the domain of the gods, and it''s absolutely unacceptable to humans." C.C. explained, "So he falsely claimed to have transformed himself to make the masses a little more accepting of the new technology." 0 Correct "Then he really created a race." Ade lamented, "Wait, you know him well?" 0 Correct "Generally." C.C. said casually, "He was interested in my immortality, and I cooperated with him to do some experiments." 0 Correct "Experiments?!" 0 Correct "Yes, experiments. This kind of experiment, and that kind of experiment, all kinds of things." C.C. showed a winning smile and raised her eyebrows lightly, "You''re jealous?" 0 Correct "I''m jealous!" Ade stood up in a flash of excitement, "I''m very angry now! I must get Aeolia to death! I won''t be a man until this revenge is avenged!" 0 Correct "Uh, no, that, it''s not like that." C.C. was a bit flustered. 0 Correct According to her vision, Ade should first say, "I''m not angry", she would continue to molest him, and finally before Ade blew up, she would tell the truth to make Ade deflate all of a sudden, so that she could have the upper hand. However, the plot development was not quite like what she thought. 0 Correct "Get Garrod to kill Britannia straight away!" Ade angrily took out his phone, "I''m just going to tell Aeolia today that the Moonlight Microwave Cannon isn''t just made for good-looking!" 0 Correct "Nothing weird has been done!" C.C. jumped up and grabbed the phone, shouting, "Just blood draws and wound healing experiments, nothing else was done!" 0 Correct "Really?" Ade looked at her suspiciously, "Don''t lie to me." 0 Correct "Really." C.C. met his gaze without hesitation, "You don''t believe me? Hmm?" 0 Correct "I believe you." Ade sat back down. 0 Correct But Ade''s reaction put C.C. in a good mood, and she lay back down contentedly, resting her head on his lap. 0 Correct "But still, we have to go to TOKYO-3. We''ve come to Japan, it''s not good to not go back to visit it, right?" Ade picked up a beautiful strand of long green hair and played with it, "Besides, Ikari Gendou can''t suddenly summon three Evangelion Gundams and take down the Unicorn Gundam in a second, right?" 0 Correct "Whatever, I''ll do it." C.C. said absentmindedly, "Lilith being pinned there poses no threat, she doesn''t seem hostile to you, and I have a house over there." 0 Correct "Nailed it there?" Ade asked sensitively, "The Spear of Longinus?" 0 Correct "We''ll talk about that later, let''s get back to what we were talking about. What experiment did you just think of? Why did you have such a reaction?" C.C. licked her lips and asked in a seductive voice, "If I say today only, without any restrictions, would you like to do some¡­ um, experiments yourself?" 0 Correct "Are you too diligent recently?"Ade gulped and replied honestly, "Yes." 0 Correct "Because there won''t be any more of my episodes when I get back, silly." C.C. lifted her snow-white arm and gently poked his cheek, "There are less than eleven hours left in the day, don''t you hurry up?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "It''s already too late!" 0 Correct "There''s no such thing." In the nick of time, Scirocco maneuvered his dedicated Super Gundam to block in front of Hambrabi, the thick shield blocked the deadly blast from the Seravee Gundam, but the shield was also ruined, "Sarah, stand down, leave this Gundam to me." 0 Correct "Lord Paptimus!" A girl''s unbelievably excited voice came from the Hambrabi, "Yes!" 0 Correct Scirocco joined the battle and used his long-range beam rifle to stop the opposite side and create an opening for his men to retreat. The Super Gundam''s long-range beam rifle is much more powerful than a normal beam rifle, and can still pose a considerable threat even against a heavily armored MS like the Seravee Gundam. 0 Correct The Seravee Gundam''s dense firepower network came overwhelmingly, Scirocco instantly judged that the Super Gundam could not gain the upper hand in the shooting battle, and changed tactics and started to keep advancing at an alarming speed. 0 Correct The Super Gundam took the now popular Gundam Mk-II of TITANS as its core and attached a set of support equipment called G Defender to make up for the shortcomings of the Gundam Mk-II''s lack of firepower and range. At the same time, Scirocco also customized this Super Gundam, adding a number of posture control vents to better utilize his subtle micromanagement capabilities. 0 Correct Although Scirocco does not like Gundam, he does not like the transformation series of MS more. The Super Gundam is his best choice now. As for why not build another The-O, or develop a new, more powerful MS? The answer is simple because there is no money. TITANS is going bankrupt. 0 Correct The Federation parliament and the Federation military department have a lot of complaints about TITANS. They take advantage of the national tragedy to cause countless troubles for Scirocco, and no one cares about the Federation''s life or death. Anyway, they are the spokesman for their respective interest groups. If the Federation finished, they could just change to a new place to work for. 0 Correct This led to the frontal battlefield is now all TITANS in the carry. Scirocco even had the delusion that the Federation and Britannia were working together against him. 0 Correct And although Scirocco''s men are loyal to him, their ability is really¡­ not too good. He, as a faction leader, had to do everything personally, such as the immediate, he even had to personally drive the MS on the front line. 0 Correct "Completely dependent on the performance of the MS, what a vulgarian." The Super Gundam easily and comfortably weaved through the diffuse beams of light, the distance between the two machines continued to shorten at a speed visible to the naked eye, "The world needs a genius like me to guide it, is this the kind of thing that is holding me back?" 0 Correct The other side''s shooting skills, in his opinion, are simply trash. His MS did a high-speed change of direction, find an opportunity to casually shoot down the other side''s beam rocket, and blew the other one as the other side lost its balance. As the Seravee Gundam just struggled to break away from the explosion, its four beam cannons were detonated by several consecutive shots. 0 Correct "Too weak, completely unable to make me feel the meaning of the fight." Scirocco commented indifferently, "Why would Charles give his most up-to-date MS to such useless trash?" 0 Correct It had been less than a minute since he had joined the battle, and the Seravee Gundam was already in tatters. 0 Correct "How dare you force me to take out this ¡­ now," the pilot of the Seravee Gundam, who had been silent from the beginning, finally roared on the public channel, "You deserve to die!" 0 Correct The backpack on the Seravee Gundam''s back began to separate, while the backpack did complex deformations, it was obvious that there was something powerful to be released. 0 Correct "Let me tell you how silly it is to deform on a fast-changing battlefield." Scirocco hung the rifle on the backpack behind the Super Gundam, pulled out his beam saber, and accelerated violently, "That''s why I don''t drive a deformable MS!" 0 Correct The thing separated from the Seravee Gundam finally transformed into the Seraphim Gundam, and the GN-Drive behind it began spewing light particles, "TRAN¡ª" 0 Correct "This is the end!" The Super Gundam abruptly squeezed in between the Seraphim Gundam and the Seravee Gundam, Scirocco forced himself to endure the maddening pain in his head and precisely stabbed the beam saber through the GN-Drive, "There is no room for you to appear on this stage!" 0 Correct The orange liquid splashed out of GN-Drive like blood, the painful feeling disappeared, and Scirocco suddenly relaxed and let out a long breath. 0 Correct "The GN-Drive was actually¡­" The shocked voice of the other party rang out on the public channel, "What a disorder it is!" 0 Correct Scirocco sneered as he redirected his beam saber at the cockpit of the Seraphim Gundam, "Fall! Big mosquito!" 0 Correct With a sudden "ding" in his head, Scirocco subconsciously kicked away the Seraphim Gundam and drew back sharply. The next second, a thick beam of particles brushed against him in front of his eyes. The next moment, a thick particle beam passed him in front of his eyes. Before he had time to chase the MS in front of him, another shot came from the distance, forcing him to retreat again, and the Seraphim Gundam was finally able to reorganize its posture. 0 Correct "Was that a sniper type?" Scirocco looked in the direction where the particle beam was coming from and realized that the opponent was really far away from him and decisively chose to run, "This thing that affects NT turns out to be called GN-Drive¡­" 0 Correct The battle went on for a while longer, and the Britannia army, after losing the Seravee Gundam, was beating up under the heroic performance of Colonel Scirocco. This time, it was lucky that Celestial Being did not come to spoil the game. Not only did Scirocco bring victory to TITANS in the local battle, but he also brought confidence and hope to everyone. 0 Correct After the battle, Scirocco returned to the base, and under the adoring eyes of everyone - among them many girls - returned to his office with great strides. 0 Correct "It''s true that humans have to be guided." He whispered confidently, "This world is driven by geniuses." 0 Correct As a character with all six dimensions of politics, calculation, command, scientific research, combat, and NT on the nineties, Scirocco was definitely qualified to call himself a genius. Even Dr. Lingus or Char could not deny it. 0 Correct "But a victory in one battle is meaningless." Scirocco was not overwhelmed by the victory. On the contrary, he was now incredibly sober, "I need money! Money! Money!" 0 Correct The two consortiums, Vist and Rhineford were his biggest moneymakers, but now they had reduced their financial support to him, and seemed to be planning to wait and see how the situation went. He could only do all kinds of things to get money, even sent someone to kidnap the Halevy family''s future son-in-law. The kidnapping failed, but he did it discreetly, and no one found that it was him who was doing it. 0 Correct "Should I really do it?" He muttered to himself as he opened up a profile on his computer. In the picture, it was the most beautiful man in the world, "I really don''t want to go this far, the chances are too slim." 0 Correct A ringing phone interrupted his musings and he casually picked up the video call, it was his secretary, "Colonel Scirocco, Her Highness Schneizel from Britannia is on the line waiting for you, says he has something important to discuss." 0 Correct "Schneizel? Is he going to complain that I broke one of his Gundams?" Scirocco grunted coldly, "Bring it in." 0 Correct A moment later, the figure on the screen changed into an elegant blond beauty, Prince Schneizel, the second son of the Charles family, the Chancellor of the Empire, and now the Commander-in-Chief of the entire Britannia Army. 0 Correct "Colonel Scirocco, good day." Schneizel greeted him politely, "It''s been a long time since our last¡ª" 0 Correct "Don''t be polite, get down to business." Scirocco interrupted him impatiently, "There''s no point in playing that gentle trick in front of me." 0 Correct "Fine." Schneizel took it in stride, "Don''t you think we''ve had a good fight today? Because we all did our best and no extra characters came out to stir the pot." 0 Correct "What do you have to offer?" Scirocco leaned forward with interest. 0 Correct "You and I can fight it out later, each by our own means, so that whoever loses and whoever wins can be convinced." Schneizel smiled faintly, "Colonel, do have any interest in doing a game with me? How about to kick Celestial Being out of the board first?" CH 130 Chapter 130: Angel, Attack 0 Correct "Ah, stupid Shinji, if you don''t want to show your phone to someone, just say so!" Asuka shook Shinji''s phone hard in front of his eyes, "I got it back for you, next time act like a man and ask for it yourself!" 0 Correct The culprits who took Shinji''s phone were not far away, shivering as they looked at Asuka. Their faces were bruised and battered. All the students passing by can not help but look at them stealthily. 0 Correct "Suzuhara-kun and his friends don''t mean any harm, they''re just too enthusiastic." Shinji weakly responded, reaching for his phone, "But Asuka-san, you are too¡­ uh¡­" 0 Correct "Wait." Asuka suddenly withdrew her arm, "What did they just look at on your phone? Why were they laughing so disgusting? No, I have to check." 0 Correct "Eh?" Shinji panicked for a moment, "This, this is not good, right?" 0 Correct "Why would you be scared if you didn''t do anything wrong? Don''t you think so?" Asuka opened Shinji''s phone as if no one was watching, and skillfully entered the password, "This folder called ''Shared by Master Carrot'', hmm, I didn''t see it last time, well, it was newly created a few days ago." 0 Correct "No, don''t open that one!" Shinji suddenly stretched out to grab the phone. But he was no match for Asuka and all of that was just wasting his strength. 0 Correct "''Final Chapter: Encroach on Inle Girl, and Lingus''s Evil Fall'', What is this? Well, a manga?" Asuka clicked on it and read it. As she turned the pages, her face turned red at the same time. After a minute or so, Asuka clenched her fist and slammed it into the young boy''s head, "Stupid Shinji! Pervert! Hentai!" 0 Correct Shinji skillfully held his head and crouched in defense, while looking around with nothing to do. Suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation hit him, and he was in a trance with the feeling that someone was watching him. Shinji jerked his head around and saw only the backs of a man and a woman. 0 Correct "Asuka-san, look at that green-haired woman, isn''t that the beautiful woman we saw last year?" Shinji pointed to the duo in the distance behind him and asked out loud, "Those two are very close, so she already has a boyfriend ¡­" 0 Correct "Are you an idiot? Why do you only know to stare at beautiful women!" Asuka scolded, and when she looked up, the two people had gone, "It does not matter. Are you free this afternoon? If you have nothing to do, accompany me to buy things." 0 Correct Shinji protested in a whisper, "I have an appointment with Suzuhara-kun and the others this afternoon to¡ª" 0 Correct "It doesn''t matter, is it okay to go shopping with me in the afternoon?!" Asuka crossed her arms and glared at Shinji in an imposing manner, "Do I need to say it a third time?" 0 Correct "Nothing this afternoon, I will go shopping with you." Shinji lowered his head, his voice was so small that even he himself could hardly hear it, "Oh, too bad. How dare I stand Suzuhara-kun up? I''m going to be bullied the next week." 0 Correct After the two ate something in the restaurant, Shinji followed Asuka obediently as they walked down the nearby pedestrian street. 0 Correct Shinji, like all ordinary high school students around the world, likes to watch anime, read web novels, and watch prons. He always felt that his life was particularly surreal. He suddenly received a notice to come to Hakone, saying that he could meet his father, but it turned out that he didn''t meet his father at all, but had a sexy sister living with him as a guardian. Shortly afterward, a beautiful foreign student transferred to his class and became acquainted with him immediately. 0 Correct "I feel like myself the protagonist of a web novel. Oh, only one thing is different: no one comes to ask me to drive a Gundam." Shinji whispered to himself, "It''s a good thing that I don''t want to drive a Gundam at all." 0 Correct It turns out that girls are full of "shopping" ability. Shinji''s two feet had become numb, but Asuka was still alive and well. But Shinji dare not say it out, because Asuka looked quite scary if she got pissed off. The two of them kept on shopping like this until dinner time. Shinji guessed that Misato-san was almost at the end of the day and it was time to go home himself. 0 Correct "That, Asuka-san ¡­" Shinji raised his hand carefully, "Well, time, you see¡­ " 0 Correct Behind him suddenly came a burst of pedestrian shouts. Shinji subconsciously turned back, only to see a black car drove across the road in their direction, and finally, stopped beside him with a sharp brake. A handsome, long-haired beauty got out of the driver''s seat, looked at Shinji, and shouted eagerly, "There''s no time to explain, get in!" 0 Correct "Miss Misato?" Shinji froze in place, wondering why his guardian was even here. 0 Correct Before Misato could explain, another black car stopped beside them and two men in black got out. One of them said to Misato impatiently, "Captain Katsuragi, the commander''s orders are to take him away directly, there''s no time to give him an explanation." 0 Correct "Who are you people and what do you want?" Asuka alertly stopped in front of Shinji, "Where are you taking him? I''ll call the police if you don''t tell me!" 0 Correct The two people in black whispered, one of them fished out a pistol from the inside of his shirt and pointed at Asuka, "You also come together." 0 Correct The boy and girl helplessly got into the black car. On the car, Misato explained to Shinji, such as she actually works for a special organization called NERV, the organization now needs Shinji, and he will soon be able to meet his father. 0 Correct "I thought of Amuro Ray." Shinji muttered unhappily, "I''m not going to be asked to drive Gundam, am I?" 0 Correct Several minutes later, after a series of complicated authentication, Shinji and Asuka entered NERV''s headquarters. Asuka was taken away to who knows where, and Misato took him to meet a huge robot. The robot looked strange, first of all, its size was twice as big as ordinary MS, more than 40 meters high, and secondly, its appearance was also very different from MS. 0 Correct "This is the NEVANGELION-01, a dueling weapon based on the design of Dr. Aeolia, the father of the Coordinator." Misato explained to him, pointing to the giant robot, "This is our last human trump card." 0 Correct "Is this also Father''s work?" Shinji asked, baffled. 0 Correct "Yes." A familiar raspy voice came from above, and Shinji couldn''t help but look up. The man who appeared there was his father who he had finally seen again after so many years, "It''s been a long time." 0 Correct "Dad ¡­" 0 Correct "Strike." The man did not have any intention of catching up, did not even shout his son''s name, just indifferently uttered the word. 0 Correct "Shinji-kun, although it''s very sorry for you, that''s the way it is." Misato turned her face sideways in shame, "The enemy is angel, we have no other choice." 0 Correct "Dad!" Shinji gathered his last courage to look at Ikari Gendou, "What exactly did you call me here for?" 0 Correct "To get you to drive this out and fight the enemy." Commander Ikari answered rightfully. 0 Correct "Wasn''t it you who said that you didn''t need me, father? It''s ridiculous to have to say such things nowadays, isn''t it?" Shinji pointed at himself and shouted, "Why me? Why me?" 0 Correct "Because no one else can do it." 0 Correct "I can''t do it either! How can I do it!" Shinji shouted angrily, "How can I drive something that I''ve never even seen or heard of?!" 0 Correct "Go listen to the instructions." 0 Correct "It can''t be done! I can''t do it!" 0 Correct "You don''t have a choice." Ikari gazed at Shinji with an icy glare, giving him the delusion that he had a chill, "I have the hostage." 0 Correct "¡­Asuka-san?" Shinji suddenly remembered the one who had been missing since the time he entered NERV, and he looked at the person beside him in confusion, "Misato-san? It''s not true, is it?" 0 Correct Katsuragi Misato lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look him in the eye, "Shinji-kun, I''m sorry." 0 Correct "What you did was despicable!" Shinji gritted his teeth for a moment, whispered, "I can''t run away" repeatedly, and finally looked up at Commander Ikari, "I''ll do it, right? I''ll drive it!" 0 Correct Without another glance, Ikari Gendou returned to the operational command room with a blank expression. On the large screen in the middle, a group of Britannia MSs were besieging a Zaku¢ò. However, against all odds, the Zaku¢ò, which was theoretically a much more backward model, was currently sweeping away all other MSs on the battlefield. 0 Correct "An angel that can drive Gundam. I can''t believe my eyes." Vice Commander Fuyutsuki stood behind Ikari Gendou with his hands folded, "What''s even more unexpected is that the famous Dr. Lingus is angel, I simply have to doubt the accuracy of this angel identification device." 0 Correct "Aeolia''s work, there can''t be a problem." Ikari Gendou affirmed, "It''s an angel that''s sitting in that MS." 0 Correct "Commander, LCL injection is complete, no abnormalities in the neural connection." A girl in the command room reported, "Synchronization rate ¡­ zero percent? EVANGELION-01 rejects to sync with the pilot!" 0 Correct "Keep trying." Ikari Gendou gave the instruction without hesitation, "It can''t be zero percent." 0 Correct "Second attempt." The girl continued to report, "EVANGELION-01 refuses, the synchronization rate is still zero percent!" 0 Correct "Impossible, inside EVANGELION-01 is¡­" Ikari Gendou suddenly thought of something, followed by a chill in his back, "Immediately restore all restraints, and cut off all power to EVANGELION-01." 0 Correct "Ikari?" Fuyutsuki looked at him in confusion. 0 Correct "We were deceived by Charles." Ikari Gendou took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It''s not Yui inside EVANGELION-01." 0 Correct "Commander!" The girl reported anxiously, "EVANGELION-01 is rejecting electronic signals, the insertion bolt is being forcibly ejected, and the Minovsky nuclear reactor cannot be shut down! EVANGELION-01 is moving on its own without a pilot!" 0 Correct "Charles deceived us!" Fuyutsuki finally realized it too, "The soul in EVANGELION-01 is one of his people? He''s just waiting for Adam to show up and angels to make an appearance. We''ve been helping him keep EVANGELION-01 before, and then finally help him activate it so he can finish his plan¡­" 0 Correct "But Adam hasn''t been exposed yet." Ikari sneered, "He couldn''t have expected that Lingus was an angel and we activated EVANGELION-01 in advance." 0 Correct "What now, Ikari?" 0 Correct "Just launch EVANGELION-01." Ikari Gendou returned to his expressionless look, "Let the angel take care of it." 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct Ade grumbled in the cockpit while beating up the mass-produced MSs, "Sure enough, Ikari Gendou and Eggrollhead are in cahoots, it''s amazing that NERV''s defense circle is full of Britannia MSs. Incredible." 0 Correct "Eggrollhead¡­ Charles is going to be pissed off at you." C.C. sat beside him with a look of wanting to laugh. 0 Correct These mass-produced MSs are not even the latest models, and it is evident that Charles is not too enamored with the so-called final dogma. With the Unicorn Gundam''s performance, Ade really didn''t feel the pressure, and he was even able to chat with C.C. while fighting. 0 Correct "How deep is Lilith''s position? I can only have a vague sense." He was lamenting when suddenly another consciousness entered his sensing range out of nothing, "Is this feeling¡­ Nunnally? No, it''s very much like Nunnally, but it''s not." 0 Correct "What are you talking about?" C.C. looked at him in confusion. Her recent experiences had made her feel more and more how inconvenient it was that she wasn''t an NT. 0 Correct "Under the ground, wait, it''s rising." As he spoke, the mass-produced MSs around him began to retreat, seemingly finally giving up their attacks, and then the ground cracked open and a robot about forty meters tall rose from it and appeared in front of Ade. He stared dumbfounded at the purple thing in front of him, and couldn''t help but burst out, "Crap!" 0 Correct "What is this thing? It doesn''t look like an MS and it doesn''t have weapons." C.C. spotted the problem at once, "This movement is too dexterous, it''s not like the robot is imitating human activities, but the human is being dressed up as a robot." 0 Correct "This thing should be called EVA, I know something about it, I''ll explain it to you later." Ade manipulated Unicorn towards EVANGELION-01, "It''s not a Gundam, then the thing inside the armor should be a creature." 0 Correct Ade raised his beam rifle and fired a shot at EVANGELION-01. However, the particle beam hit the AT field that appeared out of thin air and did no damage. 0 Correct "Angel?!" C.C. exclaimed. 0 Correct "Yes, angel''s flesh. I just do not know whether it is a clone of Adam or Lilith''s." Ade immediately felt a headache, "What do these people want? Do they really want to perform the so-called Human Instrumentality Project? The aliens have not yet come, and they can not wait to get themselves killed?" 0 Correct "It does not have weapons, and I don''t think that it can fly. Ade, what do we do?" 0 Correct "Let''s try to see if we can get it killed first." Ade hung the beam rifle behind his back and took down the more powerful beam magnum. EVANGELION-01 froze in place for some reason he didn''t know, "I wonder how powerful its AT field is." 0 Correct The trigger was pulled, and the beam magnon emptied an energy clip with just one shot. The AT field only lasted a thousandth of a second before it was pierced, and the particle beam brutally blew out EVANGELION-01''s left hand. All of a sudden, its muscle collapsed and blood splattered everywhere. 0 Correct "It works!" Ade aimed again, "This AT field''s defense has a cap!" 0 Correct Ade had never seen this thing before, but he acted as if he was incredibly familiar with it. C.C. didn''t feel surprised. Women are easily charmed by men with secrets, and probably she is no exception? But she never asked, instead, she waited for him to reveal himself little by little, which was part of her pleasure. 0 Correct "Wait, don''t you run!" 0 Correct EVANGELION-01 ran towards the east at high speed as if it had suddenly come to its senses after being shot. Ade followed behind, and it didn''t take long to follow it to the beach. EVANGELION-01 didn''t hesitate, jumped into the sea, and disappeared. The radar showed that it was continuing to advance at the bottom of the sea toward the east. 0 Correct "What is all this?" The Unicorn Gundam inexplicably hovered over the sea, "Where is it going?" 0 Correct "The bottom of the sea." C.C. came back to her senses, "Then it''s impossible to chase it, right?" 0 Correct "Indeed, it''s impossible to chase." Ade reluctantly began to return, "I hope they didn''t go crazy and put nuclear power on the EVA and it can only move for five minutes." 0 Correct Katsuragi Misato CH 131 Chapter 131: Backdrop 0 Correct The Final Dogma. 0 Correct Ade and C.C. descended from the Unicorn Gundam to the ground, and the two were in the middle of an open and wide hollow. In front of them, a white giant was crucified, and an equally huge lance pierced its chest. 0 Correct Ikari Gendou refused to make any communication with Ade, but instead, offered to open the passage to the Final Dogma. With a moment''s thought, Ade understood the other party''s intention and drove Unicorn deep underground until it now came to Lilith''s face. 0 Correct Suddenly, the lower half of the white giant''s body began to squirm and grow a tumor-like thing. The tumor struggled and detached itself from the white giant''s body, twisted and deformed, and eventually became the appearance of a naked C.C. 0 Correct "Hello, my child." Lilith with the face of C.C. said expressionlessly, "At last we meet again, welcome back." 0 Correct "Can you change your image?" Ade looked at C.C. beside him and only felt very awkward. 0 Correct "If you ask for it." As soon as the words fell, the C.C.-faced Lilith turned into a white sludge of flesh once again, squirming disgustingly, and a few seconds later, a naked Ayanami Rei appeared before Ade''s eyes, "Restored the image you remember expecting of me, I hope this is a little better for you to accept." 0 Correct "Ade?" C.C. raised an eyebrow, "Where did this woman come from? I need an explanation." 0 Correct "We can talk about it later. Don''t worry, she''s absolutely not a new harem." Ade hastened to reassure C.C. and C.C. sniffed and dropped her guarded expression, "Ayanami Rei, no, Lilith, there are too many things to say, but please allow me to ask curiously first, you do not seem to have a hostile look towards me?" 0 Correct "Which mother would be hostile to her own child?" Lilith answered rightfully, "It''s like I was dormant here and suddenly a human appeared to pin me down, but I still don''t have the slightest hatred for him. For my child. I''m just a piece of programming designed to do everything in the service of reproducing life, unable to hate my own children." 0 Correct "A program?" C.C. was confused, "What are you talking about?" 0 Correct Ade gave C.C. a look and said to Lilith, "Let''s start from the beginning, from where you came from, to the reason you chose me." 0 Correct "My civilization has been destroyed by the infection, and in its final moments, it launched the spaceship containing the egg of life into the universe in order to perpetuate its existence." Lilith stretched out her hand and pointed to the huge hollow, "This is the essence of the spaceship, and I and the being you call Adam were responsible for the reproduction of life, but were mistakenly launched to the same planet. The being you call the Spear of Longinus is our controller, and the being you call the Dead Sea Scroll is our instruction manual." 0 Correct "It''s gone from fantasy to science fiction all of a sudden." C.C. looked at Ade, "You already knew that?" 0 Correct Ade nodded and replied, "When Embryo first came over, he relied on boson jumping technology to hang around the universe and saw a lot of unbelievable things. He didn''t recognize any of them and couldn''t realize the magnitude of the problem, but he described it to me and Yang Wen-li and we immediately got it." 0 Correct "So you''ve been worried about this?" C.C. froze and realization dawned on her, "How powerful must the civilization that created Lilith and Adam be? And what level was the thing that destroyed Lilith''s civilization?" 0 Correct Lilith pointed to Ade, "In his memory, it was called Flood, similar to the image of insect creatures that often appear in human literature nowadays." (Flood: A creature from the game "Halo") 0 Correct "Embryo said he had also seen the corpse of Xel''Naga in the universe." Ade asked, "What happened to them?" 0 Correct "Perished long ago." Lilith replied flatly, as if the demise of a race was inconsequential to her, "The creature you call the Tyranids was fighting for control of one of the spiral arms of the galaxy with the Flood. That was when the race you call the Xel''Naga was wiped out by them. Now, the race you call the Forerunner is building a Halo Array in the galaxy in an attempt to destroy the two races at the same time." 0 Correct "According to the information recorded on the wreckage of the Forerunner ship that Embryo picked up, there are roughly a hundred decades until the Halo Array is fully set up and the destruction of life across the galaxy is complete." Ade continued, "That''s how much time humanity has left." 0 Correct C.C. stood bewildered. The topic was far beyond her imagination. 0 Correct "Even if the human race escaped the galaxy in a hundred years, there is still STMC in the extra-river galaxy." Ade said and laughed, "So ELS and BETA are simply something like an appetizer, not even the qualification to make me feel sleepless." (STMC: a creature from Aim for the Top GunBuster. I never watched this anime so I don''t know what it is.) 0 Correct "¡­Is that the kind of pressure you''ve been fighting with on your back?" C.C. held Ade''s hand, "I''m sorry." 0 Correct "It''s okay, don''t apologize." Ade squeezed her palm, "So the battle between humans and angels is actually a very meaningless thing, but the vast majority of angels do not have free will, they are just following the established procedures to act." 0 Correct "Then what am I?" C.C. looked uneasily at Lilith, "What about me, where did I come from?" 0 Correct "You are the result of my attempt to gain free will." Lilith replied, "I used my own flesh and blood for your body, my own will for your soul, the Chulip Crystal for your life, and eventually created you." 0 Correct "So I don''t remember anything in the past, because the memories don''t exist at all?" C.C.''s eyes widened in disbelief and she stood a little unsteadily, "I''m¡­ Lilith? Then I, I ¡­" 0 Correct "Don''t be silly, you are C.C., not Lilith. Just like I''m me, not Yang Wen-li, it''s simple." Ade reached out with his other hand and pinched her cheek, "What else are you going to let me call you? Mom?" 0 Correct "Rascal." C.C. slapped his hand away, feeling amused and annoyed, "Don''t expect me to play this humiliating role-play with you, I''m not Ange." 0 Correct "Wait, how do you know that?" Ade looked shocked, "You listened?!" 0 Correct C.C. suddenly realized that she had blurted out. The look of embarrassment flashed on her face, so she immediately acted as if nothing had happened, "So, Code and Geass are the authority that Lilith gave to her own children? Well, it makes sense that Coordinator and NT can''t use Geass, they''ve been transformed beyond recognition." 0 Correct Ade didn''t have the heart to poke fun at C.C. at the moment, but continued his conversation with Lilith as he released his consciousness to the other side, "You should have met Aeolia? The person I''m thinking of in my head right now." 0 Correct "Yes, he was the first Lilin to find me." Lilith replied, "He was also the one who took away my fruit of life." 0 Correct "He was the first to discover Lilith, and he should also be the first to read the Dead Sea Scroll, and then he formed SEELE. EVA is made by him, Gundam00 is made by him, the fruit of life¡­ that V.V. is likely also made by him." Ade lamented, "Is he actually the protagonist but not me? Aeolia is too strong!" 0 Correct "You''re the protagonist." C.C. smiled faintly at him, "At least in my story, you are the main character." 0 Correct Ade smiled sweetly with her. 0 Correct "When he sent the soul over, I perused all the memories." Lilith continued, "Your existence is special, and for the possibility of life continuity, you are not to be annihilated, which is why I changed my agreement with him. Adam''s children cannot understand this, so, be careful." 0 Correct "The result is that I have to die of overwork." Ade replied breathlessly, "For C.C.''s sake, I''ll have to overwork myself." 0 Correct "Ade¡­" C.C. leaned into him. Her voice suddenly became very gentle. 0 Correct "That''s all I can do, I''ll leave the back to you." Lilith pointed to Ayanami Rei''s body, "You seem to be very fond of this body image, do you need me to make another one for you, just like her?" 0 Correct "No!" Ade immediately retorted in a loud voice, "Never! I only need C.C.!" 0 Correct C.C. curled her mouth and did not say anything. 0 Correct Lilith and Ade stared at each other wordlessly for a while longer, and then her body suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of orange liquid that flowed away irregularly on the ground. 0 Correct "Now you know why humans are screwed." Ade exhaled, "Let me explain to you again the proper nouns that just appeared, first of all, the Halo Array, the halo is a¡­" 0 Correct "It''s okay if you can''t do it, I''ve lived long enough." C.C. softly interrupted him, "We still have more than a hundred years to go, I''m already satisfied." 0 Correct "It''s only a hundred years, there are so many more things I want to do with you, it''s not enough." Ade retorted, "Don''t worry, I''m the main character, I will solve everything, you just have to trust me." 0 Correct "You." C.C. laughed softly, "The background of the story became too big all of a sudden, so big that I have no idea what I can do for you, for us. But as long as you want, I''ll meet you." 0 Correct "We just have to keep going like this, and not want anything." Ade shook her hand hard and didn''t take the opportunity to make any strange demands, "No matter what the world becomes, a stable routine helps keep your mental health. I''m an NT, do you know how hard it is not to be crazy by now?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "The world is turning into what Dr. needs it to be." Chang Wufei put away Char''s incoming intel with satisfaction, "TITANS is finally about to go broke." 0 Correct He double-clicked the mouse to open the only program on his desktop - You Don''t Have to Be Very Troublesome and Tiring to be Celestial Being. This was the Celestial Being plan that Ade had made, and it was the top-secret of the ship. Only Chang Wufei had access to it, and no one else on the ship even knew of its existence itself. 0 Correct The plan itself is an almost enumerated list of all the scenarios and actions to be taken in each case, Ade will be updated remotely in real-time every day. All Chang Wufei has to do in most cases is fine-tune what''s in the manual to the actual situation, and call and consult "the person behind the scenes" if an unplanned situation arises. 0 Correct "TITANS is on the verge of bankruptcy." Chang Wufei found the corresponding directory and clicked on it, "The next step should be¡­" 0 Correct The general approach of Celestial Being''s plan is the same as the one that Yang Wen-li used to unify the Earth. Yang Wen-li secretly funded the rebel army of the satellite circle, using them to kill the opposition on Earth, and finally let Treize out to clean up the mess. 0 Correct Ade''s plan is similar. While using the name of stopping the war to snipe TITANS senior officers, while forcing Scirocco into economic hardship. When TITANS bankruptcy, through Char relationship and Prime Minister Marcenas, support Captain Bright to replace Scirocco. 0 Correct "This familiar feeling." Chang Wufei smiled, "Not bad for a doctor''s handiwork." 0 Correct It hadn''t been that long since the first alien friends had visited Earth, and what Ade needed was a unified human ecosystem to complete his plan. He does not want the people''s discontent to boil over after the forceful conquest of the world. 0 Correct After Chang Wufei double-checked the flow of this operation, he looked at the time and headed to the briefing room. By the time he arrived, the four pilots had already arrived. Without saying much, he then began to explain the main points of this operation. 0 Correct "Finally, I have good news for everyone." After the lecture was finished, he looked around the briefing room, "Next week starts with Cagalli''s due date, the Doctor is giving each of you a long leave, the others can leave until Cagalli gives birth, and Kira can leave until a week after Cagalli gives birth." 0 Correct "Yes!" Kamille cheered, "That man still has humanity." 0 Correct "So this battle is the last one before the holidays. All of you, don''t take it lightly, your life belongs to yourself, don''t let your guard down." Chang Wufei said and glared at Kamille, and Kamille reflexively shrank his neck, "Solve your own matters as soon as possible. We will be very busy after the holiday." 0 Correct "Well, I also have an announcement to make!" Asuka raised his hand, "It''s about me and Stella." 0 Correct Kamille lowered his head with a tense expression when he heard Stella''s name, but it was good that everyone''s attention was on Shinn and no one noticed his abnormality. 0 Correct "I didn''t intend to do it so early, but since Adrien-san gave the leave, and since Kira-san got babies, I don''t think there is a more suitable opportunity, and Stella will definitely agree." Asuka smiled coyly, "After this battle is over, I plan to go back to the moon with Stella and get married." 0 Correct CH 132 Chapter 132: The Broken Wings 0 Correct "The main target of this group calling itself Celestial Being is the senior officers of TITANS." Scirocco asserted to his men as such, "The other side is always able to accurately grasp our army''s route of movement and quickly find the location of our flagship. Since we are now using the same chain of command as the Earth Federation, I can say for sure that there is a mole in the Earth Federation." 0 Correct The briefing room was filled with almost all the ACEs of TITANS, and there was an uproar at the news. Scirocco''s eyes swept around, and everyone quickly quieted down. 0 Correct "This time, the main target of our joint operation with Britannia is to find and bring down the other side''s mothership, and the secondary goal is to capture or bring down the other side''s Gundam." Scirocco continued, "There are currently four known enemy MSs, and for some unknown reason, The-O has been out of action for a long time, so we''re treating it as three and don''t count it in." 0 Correct Saying so, Scirocco opened the projection, and TITANS and Britannia''s army map appeared on the big screen. From the diagram, it could be seen that the two armies were far apart, and TITANS''s chain of command was split in two, at the two ends. 0 Correct "Following their usual habit, they like to break into the command center with heavy firepower, and quickly retreat after a successful strike. So we lengthened the battle line as a way to split the other side''s three Gundams and leave them to fight on their own." Scirocco pointed to the position of the front line of TITANS troops and said coldly, "The fleet will buy time for you, and we only need to attack one Gundam together. Don''t let me down." 0 Correct "Yes, Colonel!" Everyone present replied in a loud voice. 0 Correct "I''ll take on one of them alone." Scirocco said and pointed to the rear of the fleet, "Britannia will be responsible for dealing with the remaining one, as well as for searching for the enemy mothership. Once we find the enemy mothership, our two armies will immediately turn around and attack the Celestial Being mothership with full force. Any other questions? If not, the meeting will be adjourned and the whole army will attack." 0 Correct After that, Scirocco turned off the projection and walked out of the briefing room. The ACEs also got up and followed him. Colonel Scirocco headed to the locker room and went straight to the hangar to board his MS, still not wearing his pilot''s suit ¡ª he was always so confident. 0 Correct Half an hour later, he was already in the Super Gundam on standby on the battlefield. Sitting at the rear, there were no Minovsky particles scattered around him, so he could conveniently coordinate the whole situation and give orders. 0 Correct "Colonel, urgent message." The voice of CIC on the battleship rang out on the channel, "Britannia has engaged the enemy No.1 with wings, and the front line has engaged the No.3 that can transform." 0 Correct "Then the one on my side will be the one with light wings, not a big deal¡ª" Scirocco''s muttering to himself came to an abrupt end, and with a flash of electricity in his head, the Super Gundam surged to the side under his manipulation. A thick particle beam roared past his original position, and two battleships behind him sank in response to the sound. 0 Correct "All troops dive." He gave the instruction and then sped towards the source of the sniping at high speed, "Trying to take out me by such unorthodox means? Too naive!" 0 Correct The distance between Scirocco and the Destiny Gundam was closing rapidly. Even while traveling at high speed, he was able to use his NT sensing and subtle micromanagement to roll around and dodge every shot from above. 0 Correct "My MS has an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower and maneuverability." Having entered a very close distance, Scirocco put away his beam rifle and shield, and unfolded his beam saber with each hand, "But once we enter into a physical battle, the difference in technology will surpass the performance of MS and become the decisive factor in winning. Sadly, this world is dominated by geniuses." 0 Correct Scirocco came out with his full strength, and the two beam sabers smashed into the Destiny Gundam''s beam shield, forcing it to retreat. Destiny also tried to counterattack, but was no match for Scirocco''s fierce attacks. 0 Correct In just a few rounds of fights, Scirocco was actually able to gain the upper hand with a flourish. 0 Correct "Just like Britannia''s so-called ACEs, they are all relying on the performance of their MSs, and their real strength is just ¡ª Huh?" Scirocco''s sneer suddenly stopped, and the Destiny Gundam''s movements suddenly became smooth, and began to do an effective counterattack against Scirocco, "Heh, that''s more like it." 0 Correct The two MSs were once again tangled together, and at first glance, they looked evenly matched, and Scirocco wasn''t sure he could take the other side anytime soon. But he was in no hurry, now that all three Gundams were stopped, and he could always wait for the desired development as long as it went on like this. 0 Correct "Colonel!" His long-awaited friendly communication finally rang, "Britannia Army''s Arios Gundam has found the enemy command center, it''s a warship!" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "So grandpa, what exactly am I in charge of?" Kamille grumbled idly, "The Doctor removed The-O''s gun, and now he won''t even let me strike, so why on earth did he want me to join this organization in the first place?" 0 Correct "The doctor said the ship needed an NT radar." Chang Wufei replied indifferently, "All the other NTs have their own place, only you are free." 0 Correct "So I''m the human-shaped radar, so I''m the only one without an exclusive Gundam." Kamille bristled unhappily, "It''s fine too, you guys shouldn''t expect anything from me, and I don''t have to work hard." 0 Correct While the two were talking, Stella kept shifting around restlessly in her skirt. The corners of her skirt followed her steps and raised slightly, attracting Kamille''s eyes. He stealthily stole two glances, then averted his gaze out of guilt, and after a while, he could not resist the temptation and peered at her again. 0 Correct "Well, grandpa." Asuka''s gloriously grand image appeared in Kamille''s mind, and he embarrassedly withdrew his gaze, "Why was Kou Uraki-san so excited just now? He shouted something about ''I oppose this marriage,'' it''s too strange, right?" 0 Correct "It shows that Kou was well educated by the doctor. I also intended to shout, and was preempted." Chang Wufei could not help but look worried, "We have an old Chinese saying that ''misfortune comes out of the mouth,'' some things seem superstitious, but they cannot be measured by common sense." 0 Correct "You adults are really inexplicable, you care about other people getting married, and now you forced Shinn to change it to an engagement." Kamille said and stole a glance at Stella, "Engaged ¡­" 0 Correct "Grandpa, there''s something approaching in!" Mayu suddenly shouted, "The other side might have found us, so fast!" 0 Correct "Seems like something? NT?"Kamille also looked thoughtfully into the distance almost at the same time. The next moment, a deafening cry of sorrow came into his mind, and he immediately shrank into a ball of pain, convulsing and fell to the ground and let out a miserable scream, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh! " 0 Correct "Let me die! Let me die!" A woman kept screaming in agony, "Please! Someone! Let me die!" 0 Correct "Uhhhhhhhhhhh!" Stella somehow followed the scream with her hands on her head. Her eyes staring blankly at the ground, and her eyeballs protruding hideously, "I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die! I don''t want to die!" 0 Correct "GN-Drive?"Chang Wufei immediately reacted and waved his hand, "Shoot that MS down, and also, tell them not to get attached to the battle and return to the ship quickly!" 0 Correct "Shinn, I want Shinn!" Stella looked up and looked around, "Where''s Shinn? Where''s Shinn? I don''t want to die! Shinn, I don''t want to die!" 0 Correct "Stella, don''t." Kamille struggled to her feet and reached out to her, trying to soothe Stella''s consciousness through his mental energy, "Don''t, listen to her, talk!" 0 Correct "Don''t touch me!" Stella shouted hysterically as she slapped away his hand, "Shinn! I want Shinn!" 0 Correct She looked around blankly for a moment, then suddenly turned and ran. Realizing that something was wrong, Chang Wufei rushed after her, while giving orders to the entire ship, "Contain Stella, at all costs." 0 Correct Stella''s enhanced and modified body possessed the extraordinary athletic ability, leaving Chang Wufei far behind. The people on board had never encountered anything like this before, and although they all did their best to stop her, no one could stop her at all along the way. A few moments later, Stella ran to the hangar. 0 Correct She looked at the Altron Gundam and The-O. She only hesitated for less than a second, and the images of Scirocco and The-O appeared violently in her mind, causing her to let out a painful cry of sorrow once again. 0 Correct "I don''t want to die!" She twisted her body as if she had broken free of some shackles, jumped into the cockpit of The-O, and skillfully booted up and started, "Shinn! Where''s Shinn!" 0 Correct "She can''t communicate right now, she may really destroy the interior of the ship!" Chang Wufei made an immediate decision, "Open the hatch and let her out." 0 Correct The hangar''s hatch opened and Stella piloted The-O out without hesitation, speeding down toward the battlefield below. The radar showed the location of the Destiny Gundam, and Stella just sped towards the point of light on the map by instinct in a headlong rush. 0 Correct As she got closer to the point of light, a voice suddenly sounded in her head, "This is an unexpected pleasure, Stella, do you remember me?" 0 Correct "¡­Scirocco?" Stella replied blankly as the Destiny Gundam finally appeared in front of her eyes, still in a fight with the Super Gundam. 0 Correct "Very well, obey my orders, just like before." Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, the voice seemed to carry some kind of magic, making her involuntarily want to do what he said, "If you don''t want to die, take out this MS in front of you." 0 Correct "Stella, can you hear me?" A familiar voice rang out from The-O, but she suddenly couldn''t remember whose voice it belonged to, "Stella, what are you doing, Stella!" 0 Correct "I don''t want to die." Her eyes lost their sparkle and she muttered to herself, "Finish this MS off." 0 Correct Then The-O stretched out two mechanical hands, and then with a single swing of its four arms, four beam sabers abruptly unfolded, and The-O lunged towards the Destiny Gundam. 0 Correct "Stella, come to your senses!" Shinn simultaneously fought with two enemies and six beam sabers, anxiously sweating, "Do not be compelled by him! Do you remember my voice? It''s me, I''m Shinn!" 0 Correct "¡­Shinn?" Stella''s attacks slowed. 0 Correct "It''s me, it''s Shinn!" Shinn called out impatiently, "We agreed to go back and get married, remember?" 0 Correct "Shinn? Get married?" Stella suddenly stopped moving and froze in place, but the next moment, Scirocco''s voice stabbed into her head again, "Uhhhhhhhhhh, I don''t want to die, I don''t want to die!" 0 Correct The-O attacked again crazily towards the Destiny Gundam. 0 Correct "Scirocco!" Shinn shouted with his eyes wide open and his teeth gritted, "I''ll kill you!" 0 Correct "Hmph, the wailing of a defeated dog." Scirocco launched a continuous onslaught, "Stella, I know you''ve always been the best in your group. Very well, just finish him off." 0 Correct A few rounds down, the Destiny Gundam woefully dodged their attacks and tried to contact Chang Wufei. 0 Correct Only at this time, he suddenly realized, "When did the Minovsky particle concentration rise to this degree?" 0 Correct "Stupid." Scirocco sneered once again, "Your strength is okay, but your intelligence is too bad, today, I will ¡ª" 0 Correct The Super Gundam suddenly twisted to avoid the continuous shooting from afar. His NT sense again saved his life. Wing Gundam Zero appeared in everyone''s view. 0 Correct "Shinn, sorry, I''m late, there are a dozen ACEs pestering me." Kira''s apologetic voice rang out on the friendly channel, "The mothership was attacked, Uraki went back to support." 0 Correct "Kira-san!" Asuka shouted eagerly, "Stella, Stella, she ¡­" 0 Correct "Captain Chang Wufei says if she can''t come back to her sense, then I must shoot her down. She knows too much." Kira blocked Scirocco''s attack, "I''m sorry, that''s the order. The mothership is under siege, we don''t have time." 0 Correct "How can this be? I can''t accept it!" Shinn shouted desperately, "Stella! I beg you, wake up, Stella!" 0 Correct "I don''t want to die, I don''t want to die!" Scirocco kept talking in her head, but Stella was deaf to her lover''s cries and just launched into a desperate attack, "Finish you! Finish you so I don''t have to die!" 0 Correct "Shinn, retreat!" Kira found that he couldn''t take down Scirocco in a short time, so he decisively activated his SEED to force Scirocco back, "There''s no time for romance!" 0 Correct "Give me a little more time, I can do it, I can do it!" Shinn deceived himself and hissed, "Stella was just momentarily confused, she can definitely come to her senses!" 0 Correct "Shinn." Kira uttered intolerantly, "I''ll do it." 0 Correct "¡­ I''ll do it myself!" Shinn gritted his teeth hard, casually sliced The-O''s mechanical arm, and aimed the beam saber at The-O''s fuselage, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry!" 0 Correct At the last moment, he finally couldn''t resist closing his eyes, and tears came out of his eyes. The beam saber pierced through The-O''s fuselage without any resistance under his impetus, the energy of the saber shut off, and The-O, whose body had a big hole, froze in the air for a short moment, and then fell headlong into the sea without any other moves. The sound of explosion came from below, and the blaze of fire stung his eyes. 0 Correct "I ¡­ I ¡­" he choked and clenched his fists as the sea resounded with his desperate cry, "Stella !!!!!!!!! " CH 133 Chapter 133: Black Unicorn 0 Correct Several days later, a battlefield in the Atlantic Ocean. 0 Correct The operation to destroy Celestial Being''s mothership had failed. Despite the overwhelming superiority of the combined forces of TITANS and Britannia, the opponent''s battleship and the surrounding MSs had disappeared in plain sight. This was more like a science fiction story than high technology, and Colonel Scirocco had issued a gag order prohibiting any details of the incident from being released. 0 Correct So not surprisingly, TITANS and Britannia have become hostile again, and they continued to fight. 0 Correct The Arios Gundam tore a hole in the defense line with a large cannon, turned into aircraft form, and burst into the TITANS formation at high speed with lightning speed. The containers around its fuselage opened, and a large number of missiles were shot out from them. Even in the Minovsky particle scattering environment, such an indiscriminate strike could still cause considerable damage. 0 Correct The Arios Gundam continued to create chaos with its high mobility after that, and the TITANS MSs could not catch up to it with their speed. 0 Correct Colonel Scirocco refused to appear anywhere where there was a GN-Drive, and he gave Emma Sheen temporary deciding authority over this area. Emma Sheen, who was already a captain, was only a common MS pilot before, not a super ACE. The only reason she was able to command the battle was because of another duty she had. 0 Correct "Let the Number Two MS strike." She gave the order as such, "The others spread out, don''t get hurt by mistake." 0 Correct A black MS ejected from the battleship. Its most striking feature was the golden horn on its head, and its name was Banshee. As one of the participants of the Unicorn Plan, Emma was entrusted by Scirocco with the responsibility of commanding the Banshee Gundam in his absence. 0 Correct The Banshee Gundam deployed the built-in elf beam cannon from its right arm. The cannon''s fire control was achieved by a special built-in sensor, whose data came directly from the Banshee Gundam''s mental sensing system and was adjusted by the pilot''s consciousness rather than micromanagement, thus achieving a high degree of accuracy. 0 Correct The high-energy particle beams fired in a rhythmic pattern, and in a short time, the Arios Gundam was shot in the nose and had to change from the aircraft form to the MS form. The Arios Gundam''s pilot decisively turned on TRANS-AM and prepared to run away, as light green light particles began to gush out from its crotch and turned into a dazzling red color in a short period of time. 0 Correct "Uhhhhhhhhhhh!" The pilot of the Banshee Gundam let out an ear-piercing scream on the public channel, "Kill you kill you kill you kill you!" 0 Correct The psycho-frame beneath the armor unfolded and the skeleton glowed goldenly. The horn on the head also separated from it, turning into nine small horns stretching to the sides. 0 Correct The Banshee Gundam chased after the Arios Gundam at an incredible speed after it transformed. After flying for a while, the Arios Gundam was about to be caught up and had to turn back to fight. 0 Correct However, the Arios Gundam''s right arm was cut off with the beam saber in one blow. With another blow, the lower half of the Arios Gundam''s body was also easily torn to pieces, spilling orange liquid. 0 Correct The Banshee Gundam, which had suddenly lost its target, froze for a moment, but in the next instant, it launched a frenzied pursuit of the Arios Gundam. The fuselage of the Arios Gundam was already torn into pieces by the horrible claws, but the Banshee Gundam did not stop at all. 0 Correct It was not until five minutes later, when the NT-D''s activity time reached its limit, that the Banshee Gundam finally turned back to its unicorn form and floated motionless in place. Emma immediately gave instructions, "Recycle the Number Two MS immediately." 0 Correct The Britannia army, which had lost the Arios Gundam, was demoralized and retreated in no time. Captain Emma waited quietly in the hangar, waiting for the recovered Banshee to be placed. 0 Correct As the cockpit door opened, a pretty girl with short blonde hair appeared inside. She was not wearing a pilot''s suit, simply wearing the TITANS uniform, unconscious at the moment, strapped to the seat by the seat belt, and her pale face looked extremely haggard. 0 Correct Emma sighed in pity, went forward to unbuckle the seat belt and picked up the young girl towards the infirmary. She touched the girl''s uniform and realized that the girl was already sweating through. Despite being in a coma, the girl was still spasming slightly from the drug overdose. 0 Correct When she came to the infirmary, she pulled the curtain and cleaned the girl''s body, and changed her clothes before calling the doctor. No, not a doctor, the person should be called a researcher. The guy in the white coat ordered Emma to fix the girl on the hospital bed with a belt, then gave the unconscious girl various body measurements, and finally gave her a few injections. 0 Correct When all this was done, Scirocco came late. He listened to the researcher and Emma''s report, and nodded in satisfaction, "Although the consumption is a bit greater, it seems that the reinforced human is barely able to be an NT, and the latest technology really works well. Eliminating a GN-Drive and figuring out how the Banshee Gundam works, Captain Emma, you''ve done a great job." 0 Correct Emma bowed her head respectfully, with mixed feelings in her heart, "Stella, she ¡­" 0 Correct "She''s fine, we''ll be able to continue using it again after a few days." Scirocco was in a good mood, "Stella was originally a product of our Murayu Research Institute, and now she''s just back on the right track. Not to mention she''s gone from unstable enhanced human to NT. That''s a huge evolution!" 0 Correct "No one wants this kind of evolution." Emma thought silently, but didn''t dare to speak out. 0 Correct "Let me know immediately when she wakes up. We got some interesting keywords from her, it seems she knows quite a lot, it''s worth asking about it." Scirocco said and turned around and left the ward. 0 Correct The researcher gave Emma some more instructions on precautions before leaving, and Emma silently stood by the hospital bed, guiltily holding Stella''s hand. The young girl had just been injected with some kind of drug, and in her unconsciousness, she let out occasional moans of pain, trying to struggle but unable to move with the belt tied around her. 0 Correct "Shinn, Shinn." Stella murmured unconsciously in her unconsciousness with a hint of crying in her voice. 0 Correct "We are just simply playing with life, I guess." Emma whispered to herself, "Is this kind of thing really the right thing to do?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct "That kind of thing is just plain wrong! If it wasn''t for your Celestial Being, Stella wouldn''t have died. It''s all because of you adults doing some kind of plotting and scheming that Stella died!" Kamille looked at Ade angrily with a tear-stained face and waved his fist excitedly, "I''m just going to teach you a lesson today!" 0 Correct "Kamille, calm down!" Shinn held Kamille''s fist in a hurry, "Mr. Adrien just got back yesterday, what does this have to do with him?!" 0 Correct "How am I going to calm down, Stella, she, Stella, she!" Kamille struggled for a moment, lowered his fist, and whimpered, "I''m sorry, Brother Shinn, if only I could have stopped her, if only I ¡­!" 0 Correct "It''s not your fault, you did the best you could." Shinn tried to look cheerful and patted Kamille on the back, "Don''t cry, Kira-san''s baby was born today, you shouldn''t cry in the hospital." 0 Correct "Shinn, I''m sorry." Ade was too ashamed to look at him, "It''s my fault, I didn''t think she would be affected by GN-Drive, if I ¡­" 0 Correct "It''s okay, Adrien-san, it''s not your fault, I understand. Didn''t you teach me this years ago, that some people are just unlucky? Stella was just unlucky." Shinn smiled reluctantly, suddenly lowered his head, and coughed. His voice became a little hoarse, "Sorry, I''m a little uncomfortable. I want to go back first, please apologize to Cagalli for me." 0 Correct "Shinn, you¡ª" 0 Correct "It''s okay!" Shinn turned around and exclaimed, his shoulders trembling slightly, "I''ll adjust quickly and it won''t affect the action later. So it''s okay, um, it''s okay, it''s okay." 0 Correct Shinn slowly walked towards the hallway, his back looked thin and sluggish. Mayu gave Ade a complicated look and followed behind worriedly. Until they entered the unoccupied stairwell, Shinn finally leaned helplessly against the wall and whimpered. 0 Correct "I''m sorry, Mayu, for making you see your brother so humiliated." He raised his arm to shield his tear-streaked face, "Just give me a little more time, okay, I''ll be fine soon." 0 Correct "Brother." Mayu looked at such Shinn and felt her own heart bleeding. She couldn''t help but hug him, "Brother you still have me, I will be with brother forever!" 0 Correct "Mayu, leave me alone, okay." Shinn choked up and said, "Just for a little while, leave me alone for a little while." 0 Correct "I don''t want to! How can I leave my brother alone at a time like this!" Mayu let go of him and shook her head vigorously, "I''ll always be there for you, just like you were always there for me when I needed you the most." 0 Correct "Mayu¡­" Shinn looked down at his sister, his vision becoming a little blurry, "I''m sorry, I ¡­ " 0 Correct "Brother, it''s okay for you to cry out." Mayu gave him a gentle smile and stretched out her arms to take his head into her arms. Shinn couldn''t help but bend down after her, "I mean it, please cry it out." 0 Correct "I, I ¡­" Asuka felt the long-lost warmth, finally letting his tears rage out, "Stella, Stella! " 0 Correct The soundproofing of the hospital was quite good, but Ade felt as if he could hear the low cries from the stairwell. His heart seemed to be gripped by a large hand, and he was breathing a little hard. 0 Correct "I''m sorry, I know it''s not your fault, it''s Scirocco who''s to blame, but I just can''t help myself." Kamille wiped his tears with her sleeve, "It''s obvious that Brother Shinn is the one who is most upset, I have no right to be angry at you at all." 0 Correct "It''s my fault, obviously there are many ways to prevent it, I was the one who was careless." Ade blamed himself and did not dare to look Kamille in the eyes, "I feel better if you give me a punch." 0 Correct "That''s just a cunning adult''s self-satisfaction to get rid of the guilt, I guess, I won''t let you get away with it." Kamille bit his lip and turned away decisively, "I''ll go back first, and also please apologize to Kira-san for me, thank you." 0 Correct Only Ade was left alone in the empty corridor, and he sat on the bench with his eyes staring at the ground, thinking of nothing. Until the hallucinations on the other side of the stairwell completely disappeared, he slapped his cheeks hard, stood up, and pushed the door into the ward. 0 Correct Cagalli had just gone into labor this morning, and making a crying face now would be too impolite to her. 0 Correct The ward is better soundproofed, and the people inside have no idea what''s going on outside. Cagalli was holding a baby with a maternal glow on her face. Mineva, Ange, and Lacus were all gathered around her bed with curious looks, and only C.C. and Momoka had a calm look. 0 Correct "Doctor, you''re here." Kira carefully hugged the other little baby and nodded imperceptibly to him as a greeting, moving so carefully that it was a bit comical, "Well, where are the others?" 0 Correct "Shinn is not feeling well, Mayu accompanied him back first, Kamille too." Ade tried to act as if nothing was wrong, "They asked me to apologize to you." 0 Correct "It''s okay, after all, that happened." Kira was sad for a moment, but the joy of the birth of a pair of children instantly overshadowed the sadness, "Doctor, do you want a hug? I''ve got to go do some paperwork." 0 Correct "Can I have a hug?" Ange raised her hand like a schoolgirl, "I''ll be very careful!" 0 Correct Kira placed the child gently in Ange''s arms, and went out to do some formalities. Ange made happy faces at the little baby, making "wow~" noises every now and then. 0 Correct "Little Sora is so cute, with a round, fleshy little face." Ange spoke in a sappy voice while glancing at Ade from the corner of her eyes, "She is so cute, look, she is really, really cute." 0 Correct C.C. and Lacus looked at each other for a moment. Lacus had an expression like "I''ve been used to it for a long time," while C.C. couldn''t help but roll her eyes, and the maid lady covered her mouth and laughed at that. 0 Correct Mineva''s gaze wandered between them, and finally came to Cagalli''s side, making a look of understanding, and did not speak. 0 Correct "The doctor can also have children." Cagalli gently rocked the little Haruka in her arms, "It would be a pity not to pass down such excellent genes, it''s simply a loss for humanity." 0 Correct "Yes, yes, it''s simply a loss to humanity." Ange did the repeater. 0 Correct "I don''t have the energy to think about children now, let''s wait until after world peace." Ade said seriously, "Besides, this one is not even ten years old yet, so let''s wait until she grows up too." 0 Correct A smug smile flickered across Mineva''s face as she stealthily glanced at everyone in the sickroom, quickly turning back to her good self and staring up at the child in Cagalli''s arms. 0 Correct "Wow ~~~~!" 0 Correct The child in Ange''s arms suddenly cried out, and Ange looked at Cagalli with a helpless, bewildered look. 0 Correct "Give her to me." Cagalli gestured to Lacus, put the little Haruka into her arms, then took the little Sora from Ange''s hands, "Gag her up so she won''t cry." 0 Correct Saying so, Cagalli opened her clothes without any alert. C.C. first reacted and rushed to Ade. Before Ade could see what was happening, he had been thrown outside the ward. 0 Correct "¡­ ah!" At this point, Ade finally realized what had just happened and his face flushed, "I''m glad I didn''t see it, or I would have been killed." 0 Correct When Kira returned from the formalities, Ade said goodbye to the young couple and returned home. The atmosphere on the road was a little strained, even Ange kept her mouth shut. Ade knew it was all because of himself, so he put on a light-hearted face and said, "Speaking of which, their family can¡ª" 0 Correct "No need to force yourself. Your acting sucks." Lacus said softly, "No one is blaming you, be sad when you should be sad." 0 Correct "I''m sorry." After saying this, Ade went silent. 0 Correct It was night, Ade stayed in his room, sitting on the edge of the bed alone, thinking about something. 0 Correct The door of the room was pushed open and Mineva, dressed in her bear pajamas, came to him from the doorway, holding a pillow. The little girl did not say anything, but just silently stared at him, and the consciousness of pure and persistent comfort kept coming, touching the softest part of his heart. 0 Correct "Thank you, Mineva." Ade smiled faintly at her, got up, and hugged the little girl gently, "I want to talk to your Sister Lacus, sleep by yourself today, ok?" CH 134 Chapter 134: We Were Together Like That 0 Correct Lacus has never been a poor girl sitting around waiting for Prince Charming to save her. On the contrary, in every field she has ventured into, in every stage of her life, she has taken the initiative to manifest her values and try to create the circumstances she wants in life. 0 Correct In the beginning, she tried hard to have a child. When she secretly checked their genes and found it almost impossible to get pregnant, she tried to be an indispensable help to him at work. When he was away, she worked hard to protect the home he left behind. When she knew he was still alive, she tried to learn to live in peace with C.C. Yet no matter how hard she tried, her living situation kept slipping toward a worse abyss. 0 Correct It was only when he brought Ange back that she finally gave up trying. 0 Correct "Am I not trying hard enough, or am I trying in the wrong direction, or is there something wrong with my starting point?" In the dead of night, she lay alone in bed and asked herself this, "Do I have any feelings for him at all? Does he have any feelings for me?" 0 Correct Lacus could not help but have some kind of romantic fantasy about her SEED ability, and she felt that the existence of this ability itself could answer the former question. However, for the latter question, she really couldn''t see the point, and she didn''t even understand whether what she was doing was meaningful or not. 0 Correct So she began to look at it coldly, analyzing everyone in the family. Every day she made new discoveries, every day she had new questions, but since the stabbing of C.C., she finally understood completely ¡ª all the people in this family are twisted. 0 Correct How twisted was C.C. to use such cruel means to vent the despair of betrayal, and even choose to stay after what happened? If Ade had really died because of that stabbing and C.C. had the ability to kill herself, Lacus has no doubt that she would have martyred herself. 0 Correct How twisted was Ange to actively join this complex polyamory, and even to be able to put herself in Ade''s shoes while he was lying in ICU? If Ade had really died because of that stabbing, Lacus had no doubt that Ange would have killed C.C. by any means possible. 0 Correct These two people are completely different types of people, but in Lacus''s eyes, they have the same twisted core. They have abnormal and morbid feelings for Ade, the difference is only the outward expression is different. 0 Correct The two remaining "supporting characters" are no better. 0 Correct Lacus will always remember Mineva''s eyes when she looked at her and C.C., full of hatred and murderous intent. How such a gaze can appear in a young girl less than ten years old? Has the mutual attraction between NTs been twisted to such an extent? The apology and introspection shown by Mineva afterward were all acting, and Lacus just cooperated with her in acting. Although the little girl was an angel in Ade''s eyes, she understood that Mineva''s hatred had never diminished and she could not imagine at all what Mineva would become when she grew up. 0 Correct As for Momoka, she was like a giveaway and had completely erased her own personality, and even Lacus would occasionally unconsciously treat her as a household appliance. Ange said that Momoka is her important person, but in fact, she still treats the maid lady as her own private property, but how does a human being have to forcefully distort her personality to become an object? 0 Correct And as the center of all this, Ade''s very existence is a collection of contradictions and distortions. Other than that, his determination to maintain the integrity of the family is incomprehensible in Lacus''s eyes. He can laugh at being stabbed, but he knows that everything he does is hurting the people around him, and still do what he wants to do. 0 Correct "Is it a group of twisted people attracted to an even more twisted person, or has he unconsciously twisted everyone? Would I ask that question because I''m the only one who isn''t twisted enough?" She smiled to herself, "Could it be that in the eyes of others, I am broken too and I just don''t know it?" 0 Correct She could neither be as desperate as Ange nor could she be as cruel as C.C. The obscurity of her feelings only made her suffer more. In this situation, she thought of a way out for herself ¡ª the last and only way she could think of besides self-destruction. 0 Correct "Just think of yourself as his mistress, and trade my body for the status I have now. You''re Siegel Clyne''s daughter, Lacus! You can take it with a smile." She looked steadfastly in the mirror, "As a good politician, talk only about benefits, not about feelings, so it won''t be painful." 0 Correct Once she figured that out, Lacus''s eyes opened up. Considering Ade''s excellent personal conditions and the emotional history between them, and considering Ade''s recent concern for her with unclear motives, she realized that she had been so much luckier than her father. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she had earned too much. 0 Correct "It''s true that the daughter of a politician can''t be happy." She said to herself with a smile, "But that''s good enough, isn''t it?" 0 Correct The Lacus who had found her own position suddenly had a goal to strive for again. After Stella''s death, Ade was suffering the most vulnerable time. There is no reason not to seize such a perfect opportunity, right? She had used this routine many times before, and she was so familiar with it. As long as she could succeed this time, she could continue with peace of mind. 0 Correct After dinner, she showered early and went back to her room to change into a set of innocent yet seductive lingerie, pinpointing the time to prepare for action. Just as she was about to set off, there was a knock on the door of her room, and there appeared Mineva in her little bear pajamas. 0 Correct "Sister Lacus, I''ll sleep with Uncle Ade tonight." Hugging a pillow, Mineva said with an innocent look, "Just to let you know, Sister Ange and Sister C.C. also know it." 0 Correct After saying this, the little girl turned around and ran away. Lacus looked complicated at her back and froze in place for a while, then lay down helplessly on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze, "It''s too ugly, isn''t it? Lacus, you are defeated by a child." 0 Correct With her mind in a mess, she didn''t know what to do for a while, so she closed her eyes and thought randomly until the door to her room was pushed open again. She opened her eyes and stood up, looking a little confused at the person who definitely shouldn''t be here, but anyway, the opportunity came, "Ade, why didn''t you knock?" 0 Correct "You''re my wife, why should I knock when I go to my wife''s room?" He rightfully replied, "Are you asleep? I''d like to talk to you about our problems." 0 Correct Here we go again, he''s been considerate of her since C.C. left home, trying hard to act like he still likes her. But she''s not NT and can''t really tell if it''s an act out of twisted possessiveness. Just like she had no way to convince Ade that she still liked him, and she also had no way to convince herself that Ade still liked her. 0 Correct "What''s the problem between us? I don''t think there''s a problem." So just talk about interests and not feelings, she smiled, "By the way, where is my gift? Momoka said that you''d bring me back a present." 0 Correct "It''s already being done, really!" Ade showed embarrassment, "It''s just that something like this happened, and I came back in such a hurry that I didn''t have time to pick it up." 0 Correct Lacus also couldn''t tell if it was true or not, but as long as she acted as if she believed it, it was ok. She didn''t want to be wishful anymore, "There''s still time before my birthday, I''m waiting for your surprise." 0 Correct Ade''s emotional intelligence is still so low, even lower than Ange''s in Lacus''s eyes. She easily grasped his emotions and unobtrusively switched the topic to Shinn and Stella. As expected, he quickly depressed, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow. 0 Correct "It''s okay to blame yourself, but don''t lose to Shinn who is still trying to pull himself together at this moment." She gently hugged the man in front of her, "I and everyone will always be by your side." 0 Correct If he wants solace, give him solace, if he wants the harmony of the harem, give him the harmony of the harem. Everyone takes what they need, and that''s good. As for the emotions that arise from watching Ade feel a little better right now, something like relief and joy ¡ª 0 Correct "It''s not too much to quietly collect a little interest, right?" she said to herself as such, "I''m a good politician, only interest, not feelings." 0 Correct Sex is the best placebo, and next, she guided Ade to bed in a fluid manner, admiring his skilled, surprised, clumsy, impatient look, and couldn''t help but be a little addicted. 0 Correct However, this is not okay. A mistress must have the self-awareness of a mistress, to be able to do what other women couldn''t do. So she whispered softly in his ear, "I can not bear it alone, why don''t we call Ange over?" 0 Correct Ade showed a little sad look and shook his head firmly. Lacus was not an NT and wondered if he really didn''t want it or was acting for the sake of harem harmony, but she hoped it was the latter. She struggled to find evidence for her point of view, like why should he be sad? Was it overacting too hard? 0 Correct Ade didn''t say much, just gagged her and then entered carefully. In that instant, her body involuntarily recoiled and arched, and a slight spasm created a brief blank in her brain. She felt the gentle, intense undulations in her body and was in a trance-like delusion of being back when they were still in love. 0 Correct "Delusion, it''s all a delusion, it''s just been a long time since we''ve done it, that''s all." She convinced herself with what was left of her sanity, "I''m a good politician, only profit, no feelings." 0 Correct After repeating this to herself countless times, Lacus felt much better, and it didn''t hurt so much when she remembered how they used to love each other again. 0 Correct "Surely this is the right thing to do." She thought silently, "Let''s try to keep it up in the future. CH 135 Chapter 135: A False Peace 0 Correct The maid lady was cooking. Ade looked at the happy family at the table and felt that he was most likely dreaming. 0 Correct "¡­ It''s so awesome, I can''t stand it." Lacus said with a slight blush, "I wonder what Lilith was thinking when she created him, do you guys think we should go ask Lilith?" 0 Correct "Lilith is a beautiful woman in his eyes." C.C. squinted at Ade, "Besides, he was not like this before. At that time, even a casual touch would let him surrender. Luckily, his ''battery life'' is still good, otherwise, I''m afraid that we had to divide the first experience into several times to complete." 0 Correct "Mineva is there, what are you guys talking about!" Ange pouted in dissatisfaction and protested loudly, "Besides, he''s just like that now, his stamina often can''t keep up." 0 Correct Lacus hid her mouth and laughed lightly as C.C. tsked in displeasure. 0 Correct "I can''t understand what you''re talking about, please continue with your adult''s topic." Mineva was held by Ade and sat on his lap, raising her head affectionately to rub his cheek, "Uncle Ade, it''s time for you to shave!" 0 Correct Lacus, Ange and C.C. were thus talking and laughing, occasionally teasing Mineva ¡ª even the harem ending of the gal game won''t be better than that, right? 0 Correct "Yet it''s all an illusion." Ade thought sadly, "Everyone, including me, is acting." 0 Correct C.C. said that these short-lived people would pass away soon or later, so she would reluctantly get along with them. Ange said she didn''t want to embarrass Ade, so she would try hard to get along with everyone by restraining her disgust. As for Mineva, Ade could clearly sense her hostility towards everyone in her mind space. 0 Correct As for Lacus, she was already in full actor mode, refusing to communicate with him on any deeper level of thought. 0 Correct "The first time I had girls I liked, the first time I brought everyone together in harmony, it was clearly a double joy, so why did it turn out like this?" Ade rubbed Mineva''s little head and tried to look happy, "It hurts my stomach." 0 Correct After a while, Momoka finished making dinner and habitually stood behind Ange, and Ade habitually said to her, "Sit down and eat together." 0 Correct "Your Highness Angelise." Momoka looked over at Ange out of habit, "May I?" 0 Correct "Ade has said so, sit down together." Ange looked up in thought, "Why do I feel like this conversation happens every day." 0 Correct Momoka did have to wait until Ade invited her to sit down before she would sit down, never on her own initiative. Ade has never seen anyone else do this either, as if everyone takes it for granted that the maids don''t eat with their masters. 0 Correct "Momoka, I say you might as well just sit down and eat with everyone every day." Ade suggested, "There''s no need for me to say it over and over again every day." 0 Correct "Is that an instruction?" Momoka cocked her head, "I''ll carry it out if it is." 0 Correct Ade sighed, "Forget it, it''s nothing." 0 Correct He probably understood Momoka''s thinking. The existing instructions were to stand, and Ade''s daily behavior was an invitation for her to disobey them. If it became a matter of making her sit down every day, it would be overwriting the old with new instructions. Although the behavior looks the same, the connotation is completely different. 0 Correct There is a premise here that Momoka refuses to exercise her own subjective will. 0 Correct Thanks to Lacus, Ade was able to understand this, because Lacus''s behavior pattern had become the same as Momoka''s these days ¡ª refusing to exercise her own subjective will. As long as he asked for or hinted something to Lacus, she would immediately respond according to his ideas, but never show her real ideas. 0 Correct "Does she give up, does she refuse to believe anything I say?" He stole a glance at Lacus, who noticed his eyes and gave him an impeccable smile, "How am I going to show my true heart when the other person doubts my motives for everything I do?" 0 Correct ¡­ 0 Correct Stella jumped out of the cockpit of the Banshee Gundam and flew into Emma''s arms, happily shouting her name, "Emma, Emma~" 0 Correct As Scirocco said before, Stella can be used again after a few days of repair, and without the use of NT-D, there is no side effect of coma. Due to the active Banshee Gundam, TITANS has achieved quite pleasing results in the past few days. And as a great credit to TITANS, she was registered as a strategic material rather than a soldier. 0 Correct Emma hugged the young girl hard with a complicated look. Stella actually had no special feelings for her, and this sense of closeness and trust was the result of a mental adjustment for easier control. 0 Correct "Even the memories with lovers have been stripped away, just to become a better weapon to use." She thought indignantly, "And what am I considered? An accomplice?" 0 Correct However, as long as she remained a part of TITANS, she could not disobey the military order. The next thing she had to do, although she was reluctant to do it, she could only do it. 0 Correct "Stella, it''s time for the treatment." Emma tried to make a pleasant face, "Shall we go?" 0 Correct "Treatment ¡­" Hearing these two words, Stella''s pupils suddenly dilated, "Emma, I''m afraid ¡­" 0 Correct The terrified expression appeared on the young girl''s face. She nervously grabbed Emma''s arm, her body slightly trembled because of fear. But even so, the young girl still honestly followed Emma without resistance ¡ª this was the benefit of the mental adjustment. 0 Correct "Captain Ray used his NT ability to help himself fight, and Dr. Lingus used his NT ability to push away the satellite to save the earth." Emma chanted silently as she walked, "In the hands of Colonel Scirocco, the NT ability becomes a medieval evil sorcery that plays with the mind." 0 Correct She couldn''t stop the mental damage Scirocco caused to Stella, but at least, she could protect Stella''s safety as a woman, which is why she still insisted on this mission until now. 0 Correct When she arrived at the treatment room, Scirocco was already waiting. The researcher skillfully strapped the girl to the restraint apparatus, then fed the drugs, injected and turned off the lights in one go, and in just a few minutes, Stella had begun to blur under the dual ravages of drugs and environment. The last would be done by Scirocco personally, using his strong NT ability to break through the girl''s psychological defenses. 0 Correct "This is the last time, Stella." Scirocco said in a good-natured manner, "Just say it all, and then you won''t have to bear this kind of thing, and you will be free forever." 0 Correct He needed both Stella to forget about the past, but also needed her to recall the past to provide useful information, the completely contradictory purpose led to the entire inquiry process being split into many small segments, otherwise, Stella would be in danger of a mental breakdown. 0 Correct "The last ¡­ time?" Stella''s eyes drooped listlessly, her tone dripping with a sense of anticipation, "No need¡­ for treatment?" 0 Correct "Yes, no need for treatment, as long as you tell me all this time." Scirocco''s voice was like a demonic whisper, "Stella, tell me, who are the people who didn''t get on board?" 0 Correct "Didn''t get on board¡­ what board¡­" Stella''s brow furrowed as she desperately searched inside a memory that shouldn''t exist, "Dr¡­ Lacus¡­ Audrey¡­ Cagalli¡­ and, and ¡­" 0 Correct Generally, sticking like this means that she couldn''t provide any useful information anymore. The current answer is enough, so Scirocco resolutely changed the question, "Does Shinn Asuka and Lingus have a good relationship?" 0 Correct "Shinn¡­ Asuka¡­?" Stella suddenly struggled fiercely, "Shinn, Shinn! Shinn!" 0 Correct This issue is very important and can not be skipped. Even if it will cause some damage, it doesn''t matter now. Scirocco directly attacked Stella with his mental power, and the girl let out a scream and fell silent. Then the researcher gave Stella a shot under the instructions of Scirocco, and the girl woke up in a daze after tens of seconds. 0 Correct Emma peeked at the expressionless Scirocco and turned her head away. 0 Correct "I''ll ask again, this may be the last question, after answering it, there will be no more treatment." Scirocco took out that baiting accent again, "Does Shinn Asuka have a good relationship with Adrien Lingus?" 0 Correct Stella looked like her soul was out of the body for a while before she slowly replied, "The Doctor and Shinn have a good relationship, Mayu said that Shinn was like a personal disciple of the Doctor¡­ What does personal disciple mean?" 0 Correct Scirocco smiled in satisfaction at the words. He gestured to the doctor and Emma to take care of the aftermath, and left the room with a big stride. He had an appointment with TITANS''s biggest sponsor, Guin Sard Rhineford, and he couldn''t be late as the one who asked for it. 0 Correct The Earth Federation was in the driver''s seat, and he had even contacted Schneizel privately. Schneizel hinted that he himself did not want to go to war, and that this was all the result of the old Charles'' insistence. According to Scirocco''s analysis, the internal situation in Britannia had almost reached an irreconcilable stage, and Schneizel was likely to make a coup because of his attitude toward the war. 0 Correct "As long as we can support until Schneizel launches a rebellion¡­ the problem is that TITANS''s financial couldn''t last so long. Then it will become the losers of the Federation army who pick the fruits of victory." Scirocco grunted in displeasure, "This kind of thing can not be allowed to happen in any case, how can a genius like me be subject to mediocrities?" 0 Correct He flew to Rhineford''s mansion in a private craft, entered the parlor alone, guided by a servant, and waited a while longer for Rhineford to arrive. The two men exchanged pleasantries with a leathery smile, and Scirocco could tell that the other man''s attention was not actually putting here. 0 Correct "Sir Rhineford, you don''t seem too optimistic about the current state of TITANS." Scirocco opened the door and said, "I hope that our cooperation will still be as close as before." 0 Correct "Since you say so, colonel, I''ll be straightforward." Rhineford relaxed and sat down, finding a comfortable position, "I don''t want to invest money in a project that I know will lose money." 0 Correct "Oh?" Scirocco made an interested look, "Care to elaborate?" 0 Correct "For the sake of all the years we''ve worked together, I can reveal something that I shouldn''t have said." Rhineford looked at Scirocco regretfully, "Bright Noa''s rise has been unstoppable, there are people in the civil society giving Londo Bell all the momentum, Quattro Bajeena in the council and the military ministry has done a tandem of forces you can''t imagine, and most importantly, his battle record from the One Year War to now is overwhelming. Even Celestial Being, which TITANS can''t do anything about, he''s repelled them several times." 0 Correct "Repelled them?" Scirocco let out a loud laugh as if he had heard something comical, "Lingus is worthy of being a genius, his self-directed script is seamless. The Council''s losers all think it''s a repel?" 0 Correct "Celestial Being was self-directed by Lingus? To prop up Bright Noa to the top?" Rhineford immediately understood the subtext inside, "True or false is meaningless. With Lingus''s status, even if you have evidence, he can deny all of them. You have no chance." 0 Correct "Time will prove if I still have a chance. You just need to provide funds as usual." Scirocco calmly stopped Rhineford''s question with a look, "You give me the money, I give you Loran Cehack." 0 Correct Rhineford sat on the couch and froze for five seconds, then stood up haughtily and looked at Scirocco incredulously, "What did you say?!" 0 Correct "You''ve always wanted Prince Loran, am I right?" Scirocco looked smugly at the other party, "You can simply understand that I am going to kidnap Loran Cehack, and how much you are willing to pay to ransom him back?" 0 Correct "You are not to hurt him!" Rhineford shouted excitedly. 0 Correct "I''ll just trade him with you for money, and I can guarantee his safety." Scirocco laughed derisively, "It''s up to you if you want to hurt him, don''t you? Do you want to hurt him?" 0 Correct "But, but ¡­" Rhineford''s face turned red, "What about the Lunar government''s retaliation? What''s going to happen to Lingus'' revenge?" 0 Correct "Moonlight Butterfly has been scrapped as far as I can surmise. They may have other superweapons, but won''t be at the same level with Moonlight Butterfly." Scirocco snorted disdainfully, "As for Lingus, huh, would I leave room for him to fight back?" 0 Correct Rhineford gulped and paced in place, whispering "Lola" over and over again. Scirocco just looked at him in silence. After a few minutes, Rhineford finally stopped. He walked up to Scirocco and stared him in the eyes, "How much?" 0 Correct Scirocco grinned, "How much do you think Loran Cehack is worth?" 0 Correct "Deal!" Rhineford took a few deep breaths to calm his body, which was shaking a bit from excitement, and asked with great interest, "Can I do anything for you? You can use the power of the Rhineford family." 0 Correct "That''s a great coincidence, there''s just something I need your help with." A winning smile appeared on Scirocco''s face, he was waiting for this, "Among the significant shareholders of Anaheim, who are distant from TITANS? Is there anyone you know better?" 0 Correct "No one I really know very much, but there is a staff member who can be used." Rhineford thought for a moment and replied, "One of Corner''s favored staff took advantage of the war and was very active in private, and made a lot of information transactions with me." 0 Correct "The handlers are better than the rightful owner. They don''t worry too much when doing deals." Scirocco nodded with great satisfaction, "Betrayal for profit is always the choice of the wise." 0 Correct "Speaking of which, this man looks very similar to Amuro Ray, I remember that his full name was called¡ª" Rhineford recalled, "Reborns Almark." CH 136 Chapter 136: Beargguy 0 Correct Lacus came home from work on time and met Ade''s eager eyes as soon as she entered the door. She nodded to Ade and said while changing her shoes, "The news is true, there is indeed a Gundam named Banshee active in TITANS recently." 0 Correct "So that email from that woman who called herself Emma Sheen is true. There is a real possibility that Stella is alive." Ade clenched his fist excitedly, "Then it''s worth taking a chance to try." 0 Correct "It''s better to inform Mayu and the others first. They have just set out not long ago." C.C. suggested, "Shouldn''t her brother know about this news first?" 0 Correct "No, we can''t tell Shinn." Ade decisively refused, "In case we failed to rescue Stella, won''t it make him suffer again? I advocate following Emma''s words, going to see her and saving Stella first." 0 Correct "I''m against it!" Ange protested loudly, "She said that you must go to that city personally, where you can''t drive your MS. Even with my intelligence, I can easily see that this is a trap, right? Stella must have told them our information." 0 Correct "Some things are useless to know. With my position, as long as I''m not caught in flagrante delicto, I can just deny anything they say. Besides, Stella knows so little. Scirocco won''t know too much from her." Ade replied stubbornly, "He''s kept it a secret, it means that he doesn''t want to make a big deal out of it. We can take advantage of his mindset." 0 Correct "I''m against it, too." C.C. said indifferently, "You can''t risk your life for such a thing, and although it''s sorry to say this to Shinn, your life is much more precious than Stella''s." 0 Correct Lacus hesitated for a moment before saying, "¡­ I also object." 0 Correct "Objection is not valid, my mind is made up. I have the responsibility to get her back." Ade opened his Geass to show them his AT field, "Whose combat ability is stronger than me on the moon? NT radar plus AT field, even a sniper rifle can''t shoot me. Don''t worry too much." 0 Correct "Your objection is invalid!" Ange smashed her fist on Ade''s AT field, however, Ade''s body did not even move a bit, "It''s just a turtle shell, right? How can it be counted as a combat ability? Momoka, watch the gate at night, so he can''t slip away." 0 Correct "I''m begging you, don''t get caught again, okay? There are already enough people in this house." C.C. stroked Mineva''s little head, "Your Uncle Ade wants to go do something dangerous again and then get caught and bring back a new sister, can you keep an eye on him with your NT sense so he won''t be able to sneak away again?" 0 Correct "Leave it to me!" Mineva happily raised her little hand, "I''m NT, no matter where Uncle Ade runs, I will be able to know it!" 0 Correct Ade looked around and found he had no helper. He sighed helplessly, and suddenly, Mineva''s voice rang out in his consciousness, "Uncle Ade, don''t be afraid, I''m not like those bad women, I''m on Uncle Ade''s side." 0 Correct "I''ll sleep with Uncle Ade at night and will always watch him!" Mineva was talking to Ade in his consciousness while her mouth kept saying, "So don''t worry!" 0 Correct C.C. was still touching Mineva''s head. The little girl was very upset but could only hold back her displeasure to pretend a look of enjoyment. Girls don''t like people touching their heads, and it won''t be different just because she''s a child. 0 Correct "Uncle Ade touches my head because he is Uncle Ade and I like it." Mineva thought angrily, "How dare you bad women also touch my head? Hmph, I didn''t give my consent." 0 Correct Mineva understood what they were talking about. Uncle Ade was going to get Sister Stella back, but the several aunts in the family were against it. Sister Stella is very good to Mineva and doesn''t like Uncle Ade, so Mineva likes her very much. As for Uncle Ade, Mineva wasn''t worried at all because he came back every time without any problems. 0 Correct "I''m too small, otherwise, I could have gone along with Uncle Ade." Mineva blinked her big eyes covertly at Ade and counted secretly, "When I''m sixteen¡­ well¡­ aunts will be almost thirty! " 0 Correct The person she hates most in this family is Aunt C.C. because Aunt C.C. had hurt Uncle Ade and she wouldn''t become old. Secondly, she hates Aunt Lacus, whose fake smile had become more annoying recently. She likes Sister Ange, who is very good to her and Uncle Ade. As for Momoka, she had seen too many maids, and maids don''t count as people in her eyes. 0 Correct At night, Mineva ran to Ade''s room with a pillow in her arms, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, "I fell asleep and I didn''t know what Uncle Ade was doing." 0 Correct "They are still awake, I will act when everyone is asleep." Ade also lay down beside Mineva, and the little girl skillfully arched into his arms, "Mineva, you are already a big girl. There is a difference between men and women, and you can''t do that after you are ten years old." 0 Correct "I''m not ten years old yet!" Mineva pouted with dissatisfaction and chose to change the subject, "Uncle Ade, I''ll tell you a secret. When Aunt Lacus said that she didn''t want you to go, she was lying. I can see that." 0 Correct "Your Sister Lacus." He flicked the little girl''s forehead, "I have no idea what she''s thinking right now, and I can''t let her know what I''m thinking, but it''s definitely not her fault anyway. If only she were NT too, how nice it would be." 0 Correct "Well, it''s nice to be like us." Mineva rubbed happily in his arms, "It''s a pity that I''m the only NT in the family." 0 Correct The next day, four women sat around the table, staring at each other, while the maid lady was still standing on the side. Everyone was discussing a very serious problem ¡ª why is Ade missing? 0 Correct "I''m sorry, I slept too deep." Mineva bowed her head in shame, "Uncle Ade probably sneaked away in the middle of the night." 0 Correct "Momoka?" Ange knocked impatiently on the table. 0 Correct "I accidentally fell asleep!" The maid bowed a standard ninety-degree, "I''m sorry, Your Highness Angelise!" 0 Correct Mineva''s NT instinct told her that Momoka was lying, but she wasn''t going to tell Sister Ange. She raised her head to look at the expressionless Lacus and the grim-faced C.C., and lowered her head again, laughing secretly. 0 Correct "Well, the case is solved! The truth is that he snuck off on his own last night!" Ange said and stood up excitedly, "I''ll go and get him back, that''s it, case closed!" 0 Correct "To be honest, you guys have no concept of the AT field. This time, there''s actually really no danger to him. He''s very guilty of Shinn right now, and as long as he doesn''t get Stella back, he won''t be at peace for a day." C.C. thought out of her mind, "He used to hide at home every day cowardly, and now with his AT field, he has started to wander around the world." 0 Correct "I''ll see if I can think of something." Lacus took the initiative to say, "There is a major shareholder of Anaheim who has invited Loran to visit tomorrow. I''ll talk to Loran and see if I can get through to him." 0 Correct "Who?" C.C. asked alertly, "The timing is too suspicious, isn''t it?" 0 Correct "Alejandro Corner, the one who used to be the Federation foreign minister, now he has inherited the family business and become Senator." Lacus remembered that C.C. was also a shareholder of Anaheim, and explained patiently, "Corner''s family and TITANS have never had any business, so it shouldn''t be a trap. And the Corner family won''t risk having a war with the moon for Scirocco''s sake." 0 Correct C.C. thought for a moment, "That makes sense, too." 0 Correct "Does it really make sense?" Lacus thought silently, but her face not showing it in the slightest, "An important person who happens to have nothing to do with TITANS inviting Loran to leave, while transferring Ade. It''s obviously a trap, right?" 0 Correct But she didn''t say anything about it, and she even hoped it was a trap. The relationship at home was too suffocating, and Lacus couldn''t wait for some sudden event to break the deadlock. 0 Correct "It''s so exhausting, really exhausting. If this continues, I''m going to break down. Is this what he wants?" She thought to herself, "Then it''s better to die." 0 Correct "So, should we bring him back or not?" Ange looked at the other two in confusion, "Is he that powerful now? Doesn''t even need someone to protect him anymore?" 0 Correct "He has grown up¡­" C.C. sighed leisurely, "Yeah, he doesn''t need protection anymore, he''s not the same person he used to be. There''s nothing to worry about. In any case, there''s still Alice, right?" 0 Correct "Oh, he doesn''t need my protection anymore¡­" Ange also sighed, "If so, I''m¡­ slightly lonely." 0 Correct Lacus looked at them with a complicated expression, turned around and went back to her room to pack her things, then went out to find Loran. 0 Correct Loran was really kind-hearted, and after listening to Lacus''s explanation, he decisively expressed his willingness to help her, and hoped that Lacus would go along with him. This proposal was just what Lacus wanted, and even saved her the effort of convincing Loran, so she agreed to it without thinking about it. 0 Correct She struggled for a long time. In the end, she left a detailed travel plan for the rest of the family, and followed Loran the next day. 0 Correct "This way, there are fewer people in the family all of a sudden." The maid lady was cooking dinner, and Ange was watching TV with C.C., pretending that they have a good relationship, "I hope he doesn''t bring someone back again." 0 Correct "I heard you want him dead if he cheats on you again?" C.C. raised an eyebrow at Ange, "Really?" 0 Correct "Just kidding." Ange looked away sheepishly and added in a whisper, "At most, I''ll die together with him¡­" 0 Correct C.C. grunted. 0 Correct "So, there''s really no need to bring him back?" Ange wrinkled her eyebrows, "But no matter what you say, C.C., I''m still worried." 0 Correct "Even if it''s really a trap, he has the invincible AT field anyway. Besides, Lacus and Loran left the moon together, that was too coincidental. But the other side won''t be so reasonless to do anything to Loran, right?" C.C. asked, "If they''re really that crazy, isn''t it better to kidnap Mineva together?" 0 Correct "Then isn''t Mineva in danger?!" Ange got up at once and headed for the door, "She shouldn''t go to school until Scirocco dies. I''ll go and pick her up." 0 Correct "I was just joking¡­" C.C. looked at Ange speechlessly, "How did she make Ade fall in love with her with this IQ?" 0 Correct At this time, Mineva had just finished school and was walking alone on her way home. She was a big girl now and could go home alone. Beargguy was also following her, a bodyguard assigned to her by Ade ¡ª because of the privilege, she could bring Beargguy to school, and the teacher not only did not criticize her, but also praised her for her individuality. 0 Correct "Then all the toys that the other kids brought were confiscated." Mineva muttered in a small voice, "These teachers are so snobbish, just like those maids at Aunt Haman''s house." 0 Correct While Mineva was rambling, several people dressed in black suddenly approached the young girl on the empty street and blocked her way. One of them squatted down and said to her in a very soft voice, "Is this little Audrey? Dr. Lingus was in a car accident on Earth and is badly injured, he asked us to take you to see him one last time." 0 Correct "Oh, bad guys¡­ do you guys have some misconceptions about the intelligence of children?" Mineva silently complained. In their dismayed gaze, she trotted behind the bear doll, squatting and holding her head, shouted in the loudest voice, "Help~ Help~!" 0 Correct Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, there were already passers-by who began to take out their cell phones, as if to call the police. The men in black looked at each other and intended to make direct arrests. 0 Correct "Brother, what is this?" One of them suddenly pointed at the bear doll and asked out loud. 0 Correct Beargguy''s eyes turned red, and its smallmouth spat out an oval-shaped object, which touched the ground with a soft sound, emitting a violent glare and blinding the men in black''s eyes. Then the bear raised both hands, revealing the Gatling cannons hidden inside.

Ramiel''s core sent out high-energy particle beams from time to time. The energy went through the water curtain and because of energy decay, it never hit any ship directly and the fleet miraculously survived until now. Correct "Report, the remnants of the cannons can still last for seven minutes, but it will take at least nine more minutes to get out of the nuclear strike''s range!" The CIC soldier shouted out anxiously, "Dr. Lingus, what should we do?" Solved "First, keep the current pace and don''t panic." Ade responded with as much composure as he could muster, in an unhurried tone, "I''m trying to figure out what to do, there must be a way." Solved Unlock this chapter. His calm voice eased everyone''s anxiety a bit, but Ade knew in his heart that this would not solve the problem. If the nuclear bomb was thrown down, relying on his AT field and the fruit of life, he could survive, but everyone else would be killed. Correct "But Ade, it wouldn''t be your fault." Alice said in his brain, "This is something that can''t be helped, and it''s useless to feel guilty for not being able to do it. Anyway ¡­ you don''t know them anyway, so don''t blame yourself." Correct Alice''s clumsy way of comforting sounded almost like an excuse to avoid responsibility, and Ade could only smile bitterly at it. Whether Char ran away or not, Ade could not easily convince himself to sacrifice so many people with peace of mind in any case. Correct "Two minutes ¡­," A woman who stood by in a driving suit thought for a moment, walked to Ade, and saluted, "The MS troops will strike at the last minute to fight for two minutes, Dr. Lingus, please take everyone and retreat." Correct "I remember you are ¡­" Ade searched his memory. Char had briefly introduced her to him earlier, "Captain of this ship''s MS team?" Correct "Gibraltar base affiliated, MS team leader, Captain Mackenzie." Miss Captain smiled coyly at him, "Since we have lost contact with Mr. Quattro, I suggest that Dr. Lingus leave first now, and leave the rest to us soldiers." Solved "I''ve seen it before, the ship''s best MSs are some Jegans, they will not be able to hold on for 120 seconds from Ramiel''s attacks." Ade pinched himself between the eyebrows and shook his head, "It''s useless. You will only die for nothing." Solved "Dr. Lingus, you only have the right to advise, not command. The MS team will still strike." Miss Captain firmly said, "If we strike, we will die, but if we just sit here and do nothing, we will also die. If that can help other people escape, then our sacrifice will be meaningful. The perfect solution doesn''t exist, we can only do what we can do." Correct The d¨¦j¨¤ vu line made Ade can''t help but be stunned and asked offhandedly, "Your full name?" Correct "Christina Mackenzie?" Miss Captain was a little puzzled, showing a puzzled expression, then seemed to think of something, blushing suddenly, "Dr. Lingus, I respect you, and we are indeed in a life and death situation, but I must tell you that I am engaged!" Correct Ade pursued with mixed emotions, "The name of your fianc¨¦ is?" Correct "Bernard Wiseman." Captain Christina flushed, "A soldier in the P.L.A.N.T. We agreed to get married when we each retired, and my parents like him a lot. Dr. Lingus, you have enough news of illicit love, please don''t involve me in it!" Correct "Alice, this world is so lovely." He lamented in his mind, "The director seems to be very unwilling for me to run away now, ah, a familiar name appears at such a time, I can''t think of any reason other than the malice of fate." Correct "Dr. Lingus?" Captain Christina looked at Ade suspiciously, "What''s wrong with you?" Correct "I just wanted to say that I am married and I''m very much in love with Lacus, you may have misunderstood, Miss Captain." Ade replied with a smile, "I''m not leaving, and while you''re doing what you can do, I must do what I can do as well. Even if you can''t come up with any solid ideas, at least let me struggle through the last second." Solved Captain Christina took a deep breath and saluted again, "It''s an honor to fight alongside you." Correct After saying that, the captain left the bridge quickly and went to the hangar to prepare for the attack. Correct "Ade, do you know that woman just now?" Alice asked curiously, "You''re reacting so strangely." Correct "Just met." He said sighingly, "She''s not an important person and probably won''t appear in the story in the future, it''s just that I¡­ I just capriciously don''t want her to die here." Correct Time passed, the ship''s residual cannons diminished bit by bit. Then, the moment of judgment finally arrived. Correct The firepower of the MSs alone was not enough to support and cover the fleet. A dense mass of MSs flew out from the ships, firing towards Ramiel in an attempt to attract its attention, but the beam rifles didn''t even make a ripple when they hit the AT field. Correct The massive energy converged and compressed at Ramiel''s core, emitting a dazzling light and condensing into a particle beam. The particle beam pierced the air, vaporized the sea, ignored the flying MS swarm, and hit the flagship''s I-field with precision. the I-field lasted less than two seconds before it was torn to pieces, and the next moment, the ship''s armor quickly turned red hot in the heat. Correct "Based on the enemy''s weapon output and the rate of armor melting, it is estimated that there are five seconds left before the battleship''s armor is pierced!" CIC shouted in despair, "Four, three¡ª" Correct "You''ve got to be kidding me!" A pitch-black MS suddenly appeared right in the middle of the flagship and Ramiel with shield raised, taking the energy blast instead of the battleship, "How can I let you die in a place like this when I haven''t become an awesome doctor, haven''t impressed you yet, and haven''t paid off your student loans yet!" Correct "Kamille! Get out of the way!" Ade dashed over to the communication device, "Banshee''s I-field and shield won''t be able to carry Ramiel''s attack! Don''t die for nothing!" Correct "How would I know about that kind of thing! I''m neither Scirocco nor Char, how could I possibly do such precise calculations!" Kamille shouted angrily through gritted teeth, "I just give a promise to your wife, do I have to watch you die, Doctor? The only thing I can do now is to trust my own MS!" Correct The I-field was instantly pierced and the particle stream struck straight into the armor. The high temperature destroyed the thermostat system almost instantly and was transmitted to the cockpit, and Kamille felt so hot that he was about to suffocate under the baking. Correct "The Unicorn Gundam is a miracle MS, then the Number Two MS can''t be worse than that!" Kamille hissed, "Answer me, BANSHEE!!!" Correct The NT-D logo flashed on the screen, the horns on the MS''s head split into nine, and a dazzling golden light emanated from between Banshee''s unfolded armor, as the destroyed I-field shattered, reborn, shattered again, and reborn again under the impact of the particle stream. Correct After almost ten seconds, Ramiel''s direct attack finally came to an end. The shield carried on the left arm of the golden glowing Banshee has completely disappeared, and the armor all over the MS has also been broken to varying degrees. The MS still suspended on the surface of the sea, and the fuselage was still steaming as if it was cooked by the heat emitted. Correct And something was struck and broken in Ade''s mind. Correct "Doctor, I''m able to use NT-D too!" Kamille shouted excitedly, "Please let me try it, I can fight the angel!" Correct "Banshee is badly damaged and your piloting skills are not good, I don''t see much chance of winning." Ade said coldly, "Your mission is to cover the retreat of our troops." Correct "And then you''re going to drop nuclear bombs?" Kamille retorted disgruntledly, "How many nukes does it take to take out this monster? One? Five? How many of these monsters are left? Five? Ten? When it''s all over, the Earth won''t be inhabitable at all! What''s the difference between this and Char''s behavior of throwing Junius 7 at Earth? Correct "And you''ve learned to be sophomoric?" Ade raised an eyebrow, "The logic doesn''t hold up, you haven''t convinced me." Correct "I''m already an adult, I decide what to do myself, I don''t need to convince you!" The Banshee in NT-D mode reorganized its stance and flew in the direction of Ramiel at full speed, "Do you know the pain of not being liked by your parents? Do you understand the shock of finding that your idol is just using you? You beat and scolded me all day long, asking me to be mature and grow up. Now I''ve learned to make my own decisions, but you''re still scolding me!" Correct Ade laughed dumbly, "What are you saying?" Correct "I think you''re just taking it personally!" Kamille slapped the armrest of his seat in anger, "What''s wrong with me playing up my value as a NewType? What''s wrong with me protecting the Earth I live on? What''s wrong with me becoming an adult who can surprise you?" Correct "Don''t be distracted!" Correct "When Mr. Quattro tried to deceive me, he knew to be nice to me, and now that I''ve come to your rescue, Doctor, can''t you be polite when you talk to me ¡ª whoa!" Kamille''s complaint was interrupted by a blast from Ramiel, narrowly avoided thanks to his strong NT instincts, "That was close, that was close ¡­" Correct "That''s why I told you not to get distracted." Ade said breathlessly, "Look at you, you can''t even chat while driving Gundam, and you have the nerve to call yourself ACE?" Correct "Grandpa said that I''m already qualified, Doctor, only you are still criticizing me all day long. I shouldn''t¡­" Kamille''s NT intuition screamed in his head, "Danger! " Correct Ramiel was not aimed at Banshee, but Kamille took the initiative to rush into the firing line as a shield. Intuition told him the shot was aimed at the flagship where the Doctor was, and the flagship couldn''t have taken the shot. Correct "I don''t know how much longer I can hold out before the fleet leaves the angel''s attacking range?!" Kamille gripped the hot joystick and shouted, "You are Dr. Lingus, how can you make such a stupid mistake?" Correct "The battleship has misplaced its firing path." Ade said quickly, "You should also avoid it!" Correct Banshee just pulled out from the particle flood, Ramiel immediately ended the attack and retargeted the ship Ade was on. Kamille didn''t even hesitate to block between it and the flagship before it attacked again. Correct "Why? Why is it chasing you? Does it have a grudge against you?" Kamille kept adjusting his position to protect the flagship, and under this intensity of shoots, soon Banshee also suffered serious damage, "Doctor, please say sorry to the girls of Arsenal for me, say thank you to Fa Yuiry, say¡ª" Correct "Tell that kind of talk yourself, I''m not your father!" Ade reprimanded, "Don''t say it like it''s your last words!" Correct "It''s the last words!" Kamille shouted through clenched teeth, "What kind of MS expert are you? Can''t you see that I can''t hold on anymore? I can hold on at most three minutes longer! Run, Doctor!" Correct "Kamille, did you misunderstand something?" Ade smiled gratefully, "I''m not some princess on a castle tower waiting to be rescued by someone." Correct "I''ve heard it all from Brother Shinn, you¡ª" Kamille suddenly froze in mid-sentence, "You are talking in my consciousness? Doctor, you ¡­ have your NT ability back?" Correct "Humans are weak, so weak that their AT fields are merely able to maintain their own existence." Ade said calmly, "But even such a weak human, as long as the power is gathered together, is also able to become strong, and this is NewType." Correct The golden light on Banshee''s body flourished, and the I-field that kept breaking began to stabilize. Golden particles of light diffused out from between the psycho-frame, gradually becoming more and more dense, so dense that it was like a substance, and eventually crystallized into golden crystals. Correct "It seems like my sensing can extend to ¡­ anywhere." Kamille''s soul hung in mid-air. Banshee is beneath him, Ramiel is not far across, while his consciousness is expanding outward frantically in all directions as if endless, "Doctor, what''s going on?" Correct "I can explain it after we are back." Ade appeared behind him and gave him a gentle push, "Now behave yourself." Correct Kamille abruptly awoke in the cockpit. He could no longer feel the blazing heat in the cockpit, because Banshee''s perimeter was covered with golden crystals, and Ramiel''s particle beams caused no damage to it. Kamille''s spirit had never been so clear, and his body was filled with explosive power that came from nowhere. Correct "It can be done." Banshee accelerated violently against the particle beams, "I can do it!" Correct From a distance, a shining and violently glowing line continued to shorten, the golden endpoint approached at a speed visible to the naked eye towards the other blue end. After an unknown amount of time, the two endpoints of different colors finally merged into one, and the MS passed through Ramiel''s AT field unimpeded, and Kamille heard nothing ¡ª Ade blocked all sounds from the angel for Kamille. Correct Ramiel deformed quickly, trying to return to the shape of a proper octahedron to protect the core. However, Banshee slowly waved both hands and easily tore through Ramiel''s blue barrier, holding the red core in both hands. The MS''s palm closed with a slight force, and the core was then squeezed, and bright plasma splashed in all directions. Correct "What the heck, it turned out to be quite simple." All of a sudden, a boundless sense of fatigue came over Kamille, and he leaned back in his chair and breathlessly called out in his consciousness, "Doctor, for the sake of taking out the angel, can I make a request?" Correct "Say it?" Correct "Even grandpa has approved of me, and now, I even took out the angel, can''t you ¡­" A strong sense of sleepiness made Kamille barely open his eyes, "¡­praise me once in a while?" Correct "Then I''ll say it again." Ade said gently, "Well done." Correct "Haha ¡­" Kamille showed a childlike innocent smile, "Doctor ¡­ I tell you a secret¡­ actually I ¡­ quite envious ¡­ of ¡­ Brother¡­ Shinn¡­" Correct The sound of steady breathing resounded in the cockpit, Kamille had fallen asleep peacefully. Correct "Sigh. Alice, I think this kid will make a good doctor in the future." Ade said softly, "What do you think?" Correct "Don''t say that!" Alice tightly wrapped around his arm that was about to melt. Her voice sounded like she was about to cry, "Ade, how long can you hold on?" Correct "Can''t say, a day should do?" He smiled helplessly, "I have to go back to see my wives and child, right?"

The sudden bad news made her feel so bad that she didn''t have much appetite for dinner. She left a note for Momoka at the table, and then went to her room and sat on the edge of the bed. Correct She knew that Loran had probably gone to ask Aeolia, that C.C. and Ange had gone to look for Lilith, and that she had to stay at home, not knowing what she could do. What she was good at was meaningless at present, leaving her to watch everything like an outsider, powerless to participate in it at all. Correct But the thought that the whole matter was somehow caused by her, guilt overwhelmed her. She kept saying that she wanted to destroy everything, but once she actually saw with her own eyes the man she loved about to disappear, her past insistence seemed to become meaningless in an instant, leaving only an endless sense of guilt. Correct Unlock this chapter. The drawer of the bedside table was opened, and a chic dagger was placed inside, the edge of which shone with a seductive chill in the light of the bedroom. It had been brought back from Dakar, and had little character other than its sharpness and barely commendable appearance, a souvenir bought in haste to cover up a secret meeting with Setsuna. Correct Lacus picked up the dagger and pressed it to her arm, the cool touch making the skin tighten. With the slightest force of the wrist holding the handle, the blade cut through the skin, severing veins and piercing muscles as beads of bright red blood seeped out and dripped over her arm onto her skirt. The pleasure of the pain let her close her eyes and let out a small moan. Correct However, this didn''t last long. With the help of the huge amount of nanobots in her body, the wound began to heal slowly, the lost blood was replenished, and even the pain was relieved. The guilt once again poured back in like a tidal wave, and the only way to get more comfort was to keep making new wounds. Correct By the time she came back to her senses, her skirt was dyed dark red. Correct "Oh no, Mineva is coming back." Lacus thought unexpectedly, "I''ll have to wash the dress off before she comes back." Correct She wiped clean the knife and put it back, and double-checked that there were no bloodstains on the floor or the sheets, before leaving the room with confidence. After coming to the bathroom, taking off her clothes, and stuffing them into the washing machine, Lacus hesitated for a moment and decided to take a shower first. Correct Turning on the shower switch, the warm water poured down on her head, sliding through her long hair, chest, stomach, and legs, and finally into the ground. The sound of splashing water filled the ears, completely masking the breathing and heartbeat. The body that was a little cold because of blood loss gradually became warm, and the brain that had been down for a long time finally began to function slowly. Correct "Hey, Lacus." She asked herself, "When exactly did it start to become like this?" Correct She had always felt guilty towards C.C., and the more time she spent with C.C., the more she realized how precious he was to C.C. that she had cruelly taken him from her. She doesn''t hate Ange, but she can''t help but be jealous of the wild emotions that Ade shows when he was with Ange, which he had shown when he was with her. Solved She was the daughter of a politician, and her education had taught her that Ade''s love for her could be called exemplary in relation to his position. Just looking at Char''s attitude to women, that''s the norm for people in high places. She even knew that her father had his own "little secret" when he was alive, but she pretended not to know as a daughter. Solved And when did it start? From which moment did this feeling of betrayal, of her feelings being questioned, begin? Without any pause, that fragment entered her brain relentlessly, and a low growl rang out mixed with the watery sounds. Correct "How could you ¡­" The hot water ran over her cheeks, mixed with something else, "¡­ how could you let Char Aznable come into our house?" Correct She had no prejudice against Mineva, except that she thought the little girl was too precocious. But she couldn''t stand, by any means, that the man who had killed her father had appeared in the house belonging to her and him as if nothing had happened, and the man had walked in with her husband''s approval. Correct She didn''t think her husband was stupid enough to do such a thing, so there was only one answer ¡ª he forget it. Correct So what exactly was she to him? Was she some kind of collectible? After getting her, he would carefully put her in the glass cabinet and take her out to play when he thought of her? Does he remember when she fell in love with him and what events led to her falling in love with him? Is this something that can be forgotten? Correct Although Ade tried hard to show his care to her, and she kept trying to paralyze herself with the excuse that her husband''s emotional intelligence was too low, the realm of reality and imagination had become blurred. Correct C.C. is the most important person to him, Ange is his favorite person, Mineva has a special meaning to him. Only she herself seems to be a character added by the author of this book on a whim and tossed aside after use. She lives in this house, but she always feels that she is the only one who doesn''t fit in with everyone else. Correct This kind of suspicious and dark thoughts keep eating away at her sanity, so she can''t help but feel inexplicably alienated from everyone. And every time she feels inexplicably alienated, it seems to confirm the correctness of the previous dark thoughts. After a vicious cycle, she inevitably slides into an abyss of self-destruction. Correct In fact, Ade has tried countless times, each time she was touched and enjoyable. But she doesn''t know how to stop and can not take the initiative to stop. The throat was blocked by fear, she couldn''t even shout out for help, and she could only watch herself rushing towards self-destruction with the one she loves. Correct "If you want to die, you can die alone, look what you did." The hoarse voice simply doesn''t sound like it''s coming from her voice, "Until the end, he didn''t even know who the murderer is, ha ¡­ ha ¡­ ha ha ha ha ha¡­" Correct Yes, ''until the end''¡ªshe didn''t think Ade could make it through this time. Correct Although Ade tried to make a cheerful appearance since the incident started, he held no hope from the start, and she trusted her husband''s judgment. Correct In other words, considering that he has to leave quite a bit of time for Mineva, and maybe even need time to say something to Shinn and the others, the conversation before leaving the house is most likely the last conversation she will have with him. Correct "After getting so much from him but giving him nothing, should I say that you are shameful? Or pathetic?" She raised her slender white neck and let the water lap her cheeks, "At least do something that only you can do at the end of the day, right?" Correct Turning off the shower, drying off, and changing into pajamas, Lacus glanced at the washing machine in passing. The clothes were already drying and it was completely unnoticeable that they had been stained with blood. Correct Leaving the bathroom and coming into the living room, she was just in time to see Momoka greeting Mineva for dinner. The maid hadn''t prepared her share, so Momoka must have seen the note she left. She walked straight up to Mineva, hugged her, and let her go at once when the little girl looked at her in shock. Correct "Sister Lacus?" Mineva asked suspiciously, "Did ¡­ something happen?" Correct "I can understand you liking Ange, it''s hard not to like her after all." She gently stroked the little girl''s soft hair, "But don''t be too mean to C.C., she''s not easy." Correct "What''s going on?" Mineva alerted up, "Is it something bad?" Correct "Although it''s not appropriate to say something like that to a child, I always feel like you''ll definitely become a love interest if you grow up." Lacus said to herself, "If that day really comes, I''ll forgive you in advance." Correct After saying that, she intimately pinched the little girl''s cheeks and turned to go upstairs without looking back, leaving Mineva and Momoka to look at each other in confusion. Correct By the time she returned to the bedroom, the smell of blood had been completely removed by the excellent ventilation system. She threw herself onto the bed and casually picked up the phone on the bedside table, finding Ayanami Rei''s name from the address book at a glance. Correct Ade had somehow preconceived the idea that Ayanami Rei was a simple-minded, quiet character, to which Lacus could only say that he was too unsuspecting of pretty women, but that didn''t matter much nowadays. Correct She sent a text message to Ayanami Rei, asking her two questions, and Rei replied quickly. Correct "Can Innovators live in LCL like NTs? Can two NTs who live in LCL talk?" Correct "Yes, but they can''t change back. NTs can talk, but I''m not sure if Innovators can talk." Correct Getting the answer, she tossed the phone aside, hugged her knees contentedly. Her long pink hair hung down and covered her face. Correct Not sure means there is a possibility, so it''s worth a try. This is the only salvation for her who has done so many irreparable things, and it is something that only she can do. Correct The only regret is not being able to tell him the truth in the end, in case the answer to the second question is no, then she really has to spend the rest of her life in a test tube with regret. Correct With a hint of fear and more relief, Lacus quietly closed her eyes. Until, after an unknown amount of time, the sound of the bedroom door being opened woke her up. Correct Ade miraculously appeared in front of her, and the pounding heart in her chest told her she was not dreaming. For some reason, her mouth felt a little dry. This is really the last chance, Ade reached out to her, and she tried with all her strength to grab it. Correct Courage, she needed courage. Just half a step forward, just hold his hand here, then I can have no remorse. No matter what the answer to the second question is, I can meet the future with happiness. Correct "Ade, I¡ª" Correct "¾ý¤Î×ˤÏ~ÆÍ¤ËËÆ¤Æ¤¤¤ë~ͬ¤¸ÊÀ½ç¤ò¼û¤Æ¤ë¡¢¾ý¤¬¤¤¤ëʤäÆ~" Correct ¡­ It''s over, again, I should have known it. I guess this is retribution. I deserve it, this is the end I deserve, but I still can not help but ¡­ have delusions. Correct Please, just once, say no, say no, say no! Correct There was a moment of silence, the music ended abruptly, and then she heard the most beautiful voice in the world, "No." Correct ''What kind of expression should I make at a time like this?'' She had no clue, and only by trying to put on a smile could she keep herself from crying out. If she suddenly burst into tears now, he would be troubled, right? Correct "I clearly feel that the rest of my life is like a candle in the wind." The man in front of her showed a hopelessly bitter smile, "So even if I am reluctant, I have to prioritize the remaining things." Correct No, I''m going to laugh out. It must be ugly to put on a face when you want to cry and laugh at the same time, right? Correct "C.C. is my indispensable coordinates in this world, Ange can always ignite my twisted impulses, only with you, it''s a kind of pure love feeling. I don''t know what percentage of love seems to be on your side, but on my side, it''s 100 percent, so from a certain point of view, you''re special to me." Correct Gosh, you can''t mention other women in your love talk! But with his emotional intelligence, she can''t ask for too much, such a statement is satisfactory enough to her. Correct "I knew for sure that I was wrong, so I kept thinking about what went wrong at the earliest, and only recently did I figure it out. It was Char. At that time, I was full of Embryo in my head, ignored your feelings, and even invited Char to the house. I made such a serious mistake, I was really a fool. I''m sorry." Correct ¡­I forgive you, really. Correct "Ribbons is probably dead, right? You have the Laplace program, right? Did you draw the angel out too? Char also knew about it and probably threatened you with it, didn''t he? I''m sorry for being a fool for not realizing all this until Char reminded me. I''m sorry." Correct Not stupid at all, idiot, you''re too smart for that. Correct "I''m sorry that I kept apologizing. I shouldn''t leave you these bad memories. I also know this is not good, but I''m just¡­ a little scared. I always have a bad feeling that once I become LCL, I''ll never be able to talk to anyone again, and just thinking about it makes me ¡­ me ¡­" Correct "I''ll be there for you." Lacus hugged him and said tenderly, "Wherever you go, no matter what you become, I''ll be there for you." Correct He didn''t understand, and that''s okay, I can''t make him feel guilty. Guilt is a terrible thing, and I know this the most. Correct "It''s almost time." He said with a sigh, "It''s time to say goodbye." Correct Not necessarily, maybe we''ll see each other again. Correct "I want to hear you sing." He paused and tried to look relieved, "The day, your dad, no, our dad snuck a picture of you and a record into my hand, and you officially came into my life from that moment on. So, guess what I wanted to hear?" Of course she remembered, of course she knew. She cleared her throat and started the song. The voice was clear and the intonation was spot on. In her song, in her arms, his body began to slowly soften and lose its form. Until her vision became blurred, she still struggled to maintain her singing voice. She didn''t stop until a hallucination appeared before her eyes. Was it a delusion caused by the tears? She clearly remembered that she was in the bedroom, but the room seemed to have turned into the universe, and she saw the silvery starlight in the sky in a trance.

Correct The person who was giving her a verbal report was a man dressed as a civil servant, wearing a strange metal helmet that completely wrapped his head, not even a single strand of hair was exposed. Secretary Suzaku Kururugi, who was trusted by Her Majesty, stood tall behind the helmeted man, and his sharp gaze not left this man for a moment. Correct "All right, stop trying to fool me, I don''t need to listen to nonsense." Nunnally frowned impatiently and tapped her white fingers on the table, "Get to the point, Iron Mask." Correct Unlock this chapter. "Then please forgive me for being straight, Your Majesty." The man called Iron Mask bowed, "I think that this task can be accomplished by myself completely alone, and it is more appropriate for Secretary Suzaku to protect your safety at Your Majesty''s side." Correct Nunnally seemed to have heard some kind of joke that she couldn''t help but curled her mouth with joy, "Do you really think that you can convince me, or do you think I won''t get you killed anyway, so it won''t hurt to just take a chance?" Correct "Since Your Majesty has chosen to let me live, I naturally have to make a corresponding gesture." Iron Mask was indifferent to Nunnally''s sarcasm and said calmly, "First of all, in terms of ability, my force and intelligence are sufficient to deal with most situations, there is no need to waste Secretary Suzaku''s time on something as trivial as spying on me." Correct Nunnally''s eyes drifted to Kururugi, who was standing straight behind Iron Mask, and snorted out a laugh. Correct "Secondly." Iron Mask continued as if he didn''t see anything, "Secretary Suzaku is possible to be turned by me, so for your sake, Your Majesty, I suggest changing to someone else to spy on me." Correct "Well said, I was almost convinced by you." Nunnally laughed contemptuously, "Kururugi is indeed very easy to be coaxed by a clever talker like you. But unfortunately, he has an excellent quality that is even more valuable than his lack of intelligence that I admire." Correct Even with Kururugi''s intelligence, he could easily tell that Nunnally was not praising him at this moment, but he straightened his body a bit more as if he was deeply honored. He clearly understood that he had been domesticated by Nunnally, and domestication was something much more terrible than Geass. Correct Nunnally looked at Iron Mask sarcastically, "If you want to turn him, I suggest that you first ''save'' Euphemia from my hands. Otherwise, a fool like Kururugi will not listen to any of your words." Correct "Since Your Majesty has considered it, I will follow your will to the fullest." Iron Mask bowed slightly with one hand on his chest, "I, Iron Mask, will live up to Your Majesty''s expectations." Correct "Your cheek is really thicker than this mask, I''m a bit impressed." Nunnally''s eyebrows raised slightly, "But it''s true, only the one who lives will have the hope of turning the tide, dead people can''t do anything, right? By the way, how will I die in your plan? Whether it''s a backstabbing or a direct shot to the head with a bazooka?" Correct "Do you mean that novel? You can''t trust the novelist''s words." Iron Mask said in a deep voice, "Who would have thought that Britannia would be seized by a poor young girl? Even I didn''t expect that." Correct "Except for Mr. Lingus." Nunnally smiled brightly, "I suddenly remembered that he once told me that someone relies on his high popularity, always feels that he can not die, so he recklessly jumps between various forces repeatedly. Now that I think about it, it should be you, right? How about you explain to me what it means to have high popularity?" Correct Iron Mask was indifferent, seemingly not really wanting to respond to the question. Although unable to make substantial and spiritual resistance, he still has the power to be silent. Correct The metal helmet he wore was the result of many of Britannia''s most cutting-edge technologies, and in addition to being impossible to remove, it combined many functions such as locating, listening, and self-destructing. In addition, the gap between Nunnally''s NT ability and his NT ability, as long as he dares to produce the slightest bit of malice, the ruthless Queen Nunnally will definitely blow his head up. Correct Her Majesty waited for a while without getting an answer and felt rather bored, so she decided to end the conversation, "If it wasn''t for the fact that I couldn''t find another useable NT in Britannia, I wouldn''t have taken you out. Although you are still far from the word ''useable'' as well, at least you''re a little better than an ordinary person." Correct "Please don''t worry about it, Your Majesty." Iron Mask said loud, "I am confident in my NT ability, Haman Karn is only a match for me, and there are only a few people who are better than me, such as Lingus, Tiffa, Amuro, and Your Majesty." Correct "The most frightening thing is that you really think so." Nunnally looked at Kururugi speechlessly, unfortunately, Kururugi was only standing in place like a wooden stake, "Anyway, find the whereabouts of EVANGELION-01 as soon as possible. I don''t want the process, just the result." Correct "As ordered." Iron Mask lowered his metal head, "I will definitely bring EVANGELION-01 to you." Correct Looking at Iron Mask that bowed down before her, Nunnally didn''t move at all. Tactically, she gave enough attention to Iron Mask, but strategically, she completely despised him, and only Marianne in EVANGELION-01 was the biggest problem in her heart. Correct After the death of the late emperor, she took over all the information left behind by Charles, which even has many secrets that even Dr. Aeolia doesn''t know. One of the most important and most surprising secrets to her is that her biological mother, Marianne, is still alive in EVANGELION-01. She killed her own father, and suddenly knew that her own mother was still alive, how could she sleep every night? Correct However, the task set down since the beginning of her ascension to the throne is still without any results. It is difficult for ordinary people to find the hiding EVANGELION-01, so she had to let Iron Mask try his luck. Correct While she was thinking, Kururugi was standing as straight as ever, and Iron Mask was waiting for her to order the meeting to adjourn, until the phone rang abruptly. Kururugi and Iron Mask obviously dared not to turn on their phones when they were meeting the emperor, so there was only one answer. Correct Without letting, or bothering to let Iron Mask and Kururugi get away, Nunnally took out her phone and pressed the call button directly in front of the two of them. Correct "Well, it''s me, Nunnally." Nunnally said to the other end of the phone with a tone as if she was a young girl in love, "Don''t cry, tell me slowly, what happened?" Correct The phone was then hung up after a series of "ums", "ahs", "ok" and "I know". No more important information was conveyed. Correct After putting the phone away, Nunnally was silent for a long time and finally let out a long sigh, "Thanks to you, Mr. Lingus is almost gone. Seriously, your image is already almost the same as Charles in my mind, when the time comes, I''m only afraid that I don''t even need to do it myself." Correct Iron Mask obviously didn''t understand the true meaning of the latter half of the sentence, only joy was conveyed clearly and unhindered along the consciousness. Correct "Kururugi, let Schneizel make the arrangements." Nunnally said with a straight face, "I''m going to the moon, and I''m leaving right away." Correct "Right away?" Iron Mask''s voice was incredulous, "Your Majesty, as the head of a country, naturally needs to exchange views with the Lunar government before going on a visit, and then let the diplomatic department¡ª" Correct "None of your business!" Nunnally slapped heavily on the table and rebuked loudly and angrily, "Are you the emperor, or I am the emperor?!" Solved Iron Mask felt the monstrous anger in his head and meekly shut his mouth for the sake of his own head. Correct "There should still be some knowledge and information that even he doesn''t know. I will take them all to him, maybe he can be saved." Nunnally said through gritted teeth, "If I can''t save him, I want to see with my own eyes how he''s gone." Correct As long as the result is good, she doesn''t care how anxiously her men were negotiating. Perhaps Prince Loran was too nice, she just asked and he already agreed without hesitation. Correct When she arrived at the moon, the local time was early the next morning. Before the ship entered the port, she had found Lingus'' consciousness. The long-lost kindness let her could not help but feel a burst of joy. Correct Just as she was hesitating about whether or not to say hello, Lingus, who didn''t seem to be sleeping, took the initiative to pull her into the chat room, "Nunnally? What brings you here?" Correct "Came to run some errands." She replied politely, "Your NT ability has returned? Now you¡­ this is simply¡­ I don''t know how to describe it, all in all, it''s shocking." Correct "How to say it, there was really something wrong before, now it is sort of solved, right? As for this look, I don''t know if it is considered a side effect or a blessing." Correct "I am relieved to see that you are fine." Nunnally finally put down her worry and sincerely replied, "My revenge is still in preparation, please look forward to it ~" Correct The ship finally docked, and all the red tape was omitted due to the suddenness of the event, but it was just what Nunnally wanted. She stepped off the ship in a comfortable mood and was greeted by Loran himself. Correct "Does His Highness not know yet?" She walked up to Loran and whispered, "Lingus-san is already all right." Correct A regal glow bloomed out from Loran''s eyes. Shock, doubt, and ecstasy alternated on his face. It was not until several seconds later that Loran suddenly realized his outburst and coughed dryly twice in an attempt to cover it up. Correct "What a sinful man ¡­" Nunnally gave him a smirking look, "Your Highness, the purpose of my visit has been accomplished, and I intend to return here. You must also have more important matters and have no time to pay attention to me, right?" Correct Before Loran could respond, Nunnally turned around and walked back in the direction of the spaceship amidst the incomprehensible gazes of everyone. As for not seeing Mr. Lingus yet? As for having caused a diplomatic incident? So what, does it matter? Correct ¡­ Correct "Ade, who are you using your NT sensing with? Tiffa?" Ange asked warily, "You were distracted for a moment when you were talking, don''t try to muddle through." Correct "Yes, Nunnally, she said that she was here to do something, and didn''t talk about it exactly." He answered honestly, "For the record, what she came to do has nothing to do with me." Correct "Well, I believe you." Lacus took his arm and said softly, "That woman is a ruthless and black-bellied character, Ade would never like that kind of person." Correct After Ange''s eyes swept back and forth between the duo, she looked at C.C. helplessly. It''s not clear what happened, but it''s good that Lacus is no longer making trouble, right? She could tell that C.C. probably wanted to go up there, but she might not feel comfortable doing so in front of Lacus. Correct Although it is embarrassing to say, she, Princess Angelise, is actually bent on helping Ade maintain the harmony of the harem. Correct "Right, almost forgot this." C.C. took out a tube-like object from her backpack, "Ade, Kaworu Nagisa said what inside it is¡­ well, it''s Lilith." Correct "I found it a long time ago, but she doesn''t pay much attention to me." Ade took the tube-like object and held it in his hand and turned it upside down, "Let''s put it in the fridge first." Correct As soon as he said that, a silver tentacle came out of his sleeve, tightly curled around the tube and stretched in the direction of the refrigerator. The tentacle pull open the refrigerator door, placed the tube in securely, and then closed the refrigerator door. After doing everything, the silver tentacle quickly retracted back into the sleeve, as if what just happened was a delusion. Correct "No matter how many times I look at it, I still cannot use it." Ange complained, "Ade, what exactly are you thinking now? Do you still have a sexual function? You will not use that weird thing on me in bed, right? Is it a threesome with Alice if you use it? I don''t think my IQ is high enough again, so hurry up and recharge me." Solved "I don''t know what the hell I am now." Ade scratched his head in frustration, "20% flesh and blood, 80% ELS plus nanobot, and the soul is entirely my own. Right now, we can only live with it, I''ll figure it out later. As for sex¡­ we''d better stop for a while. It will be disrespectful to you and to Alice, and I can''t accept it myself." Correct "Wait, I have not agreed to it!" C.C. protested discontentedly, "Why do you sound like you''re acquiescing that I can''t wait to make love with you? What do you take me for?" Correct "I don''t care¡­" Ange shrugged, "Besides, he''s barely survived, so let him be happy? When you first found out he was okay, you said¡ª" Correct "Whoa! Whoa!" C.C. panicked and covered Ange''s mouth, "Lacus, say something!" Correct Lacus took Ade''s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled without saying anything. Correct "Uncle Ade." Mineva, who was sitting on the other side of the table, bristled, "Isn''t it inappropriate to say that in front of a child?" Correct "Then ¡­ uh ¡­ that ¡­ let''s talk about business ¡­ "Ade swallowed guilty, "Our family¡­ well¡­ there will be one more woman." Correct Before he finished his words, a silver stream gushed out from all directions of the house, converging into a young girl. The young girl has a cute doll face, only about one meter five, like a large doll. The most surprising thing is that she is wearing only a strange armor that can barely cover her body, and the style of the armor looks very familiar as if they had seen it somewhere before. Correct "Ade, Ade, didn''t expect it, right?" Alice ignored the eyes of all the women present, pointing to the pointed protrusion on her head, and said happily, "I''m the Unicorn Lady!"

Correct "By the way, why are you acting like you''re ready to die heroically?" C.C. looked at Ade expressionlessly and coldly, "Have you already done something to an AI-turned-metal-based lifeform?" Correct Ade decisively chose to avoid the topic, "I''m just curious why you guys don''t look surprised at all?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Of couse we have expected that. Since she can turn into a hand-me-down, it''s normal to turn into a person, I''m not stupid." Ange looked strangely up and down at Alice, "Only I didn''t expect your preference¡­ hmm ¡­ seems I don''t know much about you." Correct "So you see, with Ange''s IQ, she has guessed it, so it''s normal that Lacus and I have guessed it, right?" C.C. said with a smug look on her face, "I watched you grow up, how can I not know what you''re thinking? Do you really think I don''t know where you used to go after work every day, huh?" Correct "Tsk." Ange slanted her eyes and skimmed her mouth, "What do you mean? You''re just¡ª" Correct "Shut up!" C.C. was instantly furious, "Don''t say a word, and I''ll kill you!" Correct "To be honest, thanks to Alice you can be saved, not to mention that I was prepared for it." Lacus looked at the duo smiled and shook her head, "There is nothing to argue about now, let nature take its course." Correct "To the old Yang in heaven." Ade murmured excitedly in his heart, "After so many years of suffering, my harem has finally become harmonious." Correct "By the way, Alice, I thought your whole body would be metallic like in sci-fi." Ange asked in disbelief, "Why is it that only your hair is silvery white and your skin is normal color?" Correct "Because it is possible to change the surface structure, control the wavelength of the absorbed electromagnetic waves, and make the desired color. As for the color of my hair, it''s because¡­" Alice glanced at someone very obviously, "¡­ because Ade likes it. " Correct "Oh, so Ade likes silver and white hair." Lacus holding his arm slightly hard, "Although there are already so ~ so many people in the family, there is no hair color you like, it''s really a pity. If you have other requirements, you might say them now? Maybe I can pick for you?" Correct "Wait, wait, wait! Silver and white?" Ange frowned, "Then that, that ¡­ right, Prince Loran''s hair is silver-white, is it?" Correct "Your brain is finally broken? Loran is male, no matter how perverted Ade is, he still likes women, OK?" C.C. looked at Ange speechlessly, "I know Loran so many years, Diana and he are a loving couple. Even if Ade really wants to do something to Loran, can he agree to him?" Correct Ade would like to shout "Perverted? Me?", but looking at Alice''s dress, he chose to shut up. As for the second half of the sentence, he refused to comment because Mineva was sitting on the right-hand side. Correct Alice looked left and right for a while and then happily walked towards Ade, before taking two steps and then "wow" shouted and lunged forward. Ade quickly caught her in his hands, followed by a sharp pain in the chest. Looking down, oh, it turns out that his heart is stabbed through by the unicorn on Alice''s head. Correct The room was suddenly silent, and everyone stared at the scene in awe. Mineva looked almost going to cry out. Ade hastily pushed Alice''s head away from his chest, and the hole in his cheat was quickly healed. Correct "Ade, I''m sorry." Alice sadly lowered her head, "I''m just not used to walking yet." Correct "It''s okay, it''s okay, I''m not in any pain." Ade touched Alice''s head, "Just¡­can you change your image? The unicorn¡­ is quite dangerous." Correct C.C. looked at Alice, who was at a loss for words, and sighed at Ade, "Actually, I''m still upset about Alice, but since you''ve been stabbed again, I''ll let it go." Correct Ade knew in his heart that C.C. was taking the initiative to give him a step down, nodded gratefully, and silently remembered it to heart. Correct Alice over there thought for a moment, and the armor on her body began to slowly melt, deform, re-solidify, and finally became ¡ª Correct "I''m Miss Hyzenthlays now!" Alice posed a cute pose, "Unfortunately, Inle is too big. Otherwise, I will become Miss Inle." Correct The armor could barely cover her body, and a large piece of skin was exposed outside. Hyzenthlays'' legs became something like high heels, and two tubes of small long-bladed rifles hanging from her waist seemed to be decorative. Correct Ade covertly gulped, but the corner of the eye noticed that Lacus'' face was becoming more and more annoyed, so he immediately said, "Stop becoming MS girls, change a normal human wear clothes." Correct "Normal human clothes?" Alice cocked her head and thought, "Alice knows, is this? Or this? Or this? Ade, you have so much data in your profile, Alice doesn''t know which one to choose." Correct As she said, her clothes changed into a sailor suit, a rabbit girl suit, a gothic suit ¡­ Correct "Stop!" Ade''s face turned pale, almost kneeling down, "I don''t mean that!" Correct "You don''t look very good." C.C. sneered, "I don''t believe Alice would go online to watch these things by herself, she tuned the data in your computer, right? Let me think ¡­ study material?" Correct "Study materials?" Lacus showed an interested look, "What is that? Ade, can you explain it?" Correct "I''ll let him explain later, let''s see what other fresh clothes we have first." Ange nudged Alice, "Don''t stop, keep going." Correct "Ade said stop, then I will stop." Alice crossed her arms and replied naturally, "You don''t have the authority to order Alice, only Ade does." Correct Ade''s NT radar was alarming like crazy in his mind, and he realized that if they continued to chat, all of his "little secrets" would be exposed. Just as he was about to hint to Alice to call his own cell phone, it suddenly rang. Correct Ade grabbed the phone and walked aside without even looking at the caller ID, "Hello, who is it?" Correct "It''s me." Loran''s voice on the other end of the line was like heavenly music, "I heard from Queen Nunnally that you had gotten better, so I wanted to check with you, nothing else." Correct "Well, thanks to Alice, I''m fine now. I will talk to you in detail later." Listening to Loran''s words, Ade''s restless heart immediately calmed down, "How about I go to you this afternoon?" Correct "No, really." Laura whispered, "You must have a lot to say with C.C. and the others, spend more time with them. I just want to know your current situation, and it''s enough to hear you say you''re okay." Correct The sky was just dawning, and the maid at the end of the living room was greeting everyone with a meal, Ade waved his hand to her to indicate that he was not convenient at present, while taking a few more steps deeper into the room with his cell phone, "Well, I am now having ELS as my skin and skeleton, LCL as blood, the fruit of life as energy, in fact, I don''t know what I am. To force the analogy, Gundam Lingus?" Correct "And what does it matter? It''s your soul that I like." Loran softly said, "If I tell you now that the doctor failed again when he changed my body before, and now I have festering deformed tissues corroded by nanobot under my clothes, are you going to cut off friendship with me?" Correct Ade sighed speechlessly and said decisively, "I''ve got new information on my side, I need to discuss with you immediately what to do behind, I''ll come to you this afternoon." Correct Loran was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and the vaguely audible breathing eventually turned into a light laugh, "Since so, I''ll wait for you." Correct When Ade hung up the phone and went back to the table, everyone hadn''t finished eating, except Alice, who sat aside and watched with slight envy. Seeing him coming, Alice hurriedly stood up and ran towards him. Running two steps, she made a "wow" shout and fell into Ade''s arms. Correct In all conscience, Alice is not very comfortable to hold. She probably has not yet adjusted the softness of the skin well, and the clothes don''t have the corresponding touch. Ade only felt that he was holding a metal ingot in his arms. Correct Looking at this, C.C. gave Lacus a questioning look, to which Lacus replied with a faint smile. C.C. shrugged knowingly to Ange, who rolled her eyes. Correct Mineva thought all three of them were nuts and snitched to Ade in the NT chat room. Correct "By the way, wasn''t Alice originally only as big as a palm?" Ange suddenly asked, "Where did all those extra parts come from?" Correct "The ELS satellite." Ade looked down at Alice, "Teleported back with TurnA, right?" Correct "No." Alice hugged him and lifted her head, "I brought the whole TurnA back in a hurry." Correct "Huh?" Ade was stunned, "Why didn''t you tell me about something so important? And where is TurnA?" Correct "It''s outside." Alice stretched out a finger, pointing in the opposite direction of the front door, "It''s parked right next to the house. I thought no one would see it at night anyway, so I¡­ oops, no good, it''s dawn. " Correct ¡­ Correct "How do you rate Lingus parked TurnA next to his own home?" Correct "Thanks for the invite, I''m in Kilimanjaro and just got off the spaceship. Correct "I just tutored my son to finish his summer homework, and I''m going to take him on a trip to Britannia next week. I didn''t realize that the school work at Anaheim Elementary School was so heavy that the trip was almost a bust, haha." Correct "Haha, now let''s come back to the topic. I''m going to answer this question. This is the hottest topic on the Internet in the past two days, and experts have a lot of different explanations about it. In fact, to analyze this behavior of Lingus, we must first understand Lingus as a person. And to understand Lingus as a person, we have to talk about the most sensitive topic of our time ¡ª NT. Correct "I have seen many NTs with my own eyes due to my work, well, actually about ten." Correct "The first appearance of Lingus was when he was received by Prince Loran after the One Year War, but he was not an NT at that time. Someone has confirmed that he became an NT around U.C. 0084, which I think is more plausible." Correct "In U.C. 0084, Lingus was still working as the director of the MS Institute in Anaheim''s military industry, Amuro Ray, who was also an NT, was still muddling along, Char Aznable was fighting with people in the Supreme Council, Haman Karn was working as a secretary, Nunnally Vi Britannia was concealing her identity in Japan, and Paptimus Scirocco had just been rewarded by Hymem with a promotion to major." Correct "I first met Scirocco that year when he was still a lieutenant, when he hadn''t met Lingus but had heard about it ¡­" Correct "¡­ That''s all I want to say. Thanks for reading. ¡ª by anonym." Correct Bright Noa double-checked the text before he pressed the send button. He didn''t write these things online for vanity''s sake, but purely for leisure. Correct The reorganization of TITANS was completely over, and the whole circle of human activities was very peaceful due to the efforts of some people. Moreover, even if something new happens, even if the sky is going to fall, there is Lingus who can stop it, right? Correct At the moment of Quattro''s disappearance, the Federation Council began to attack the Prime Minister by using Quattro''s identity as a weapon, and the Prime Minister''s faction denied all their accusations related to Quattro, refusing to admit that Quattro was one of their own people. Correct Bright knew that it was impossible for him to clear his relationship with Quattro, but he couldn''t make up his mind to turn to the Prime Minister''s faction. Under hesitation, he simply went home to be with his son. In the past, he thought that the Commander-in-Chief of A-Laws was a decent job, but now he realized that this position was not that easy to sit at. Correct But the most pitiful person is not him, but Char''s lover, Nanai Miguel. Many people want to get her and the confidential information she knows. Fortunately, Bright helped Nanai out and hid her in a secret place, and until now he knew that¡ª Correct "I can''t believe she''s pregnant." He closed his computer with mixed feelings, "What will be the child''s last name? Deikun? Aznable? Bajeena? Alas, I guess the child will have to take its mother''s name, Miguel." Correct He couldn''t help but look at his son, who was playing with his phone in the room. He was very satisfied with Hathaway, smart, obedient, and well-behaved, and did well in his final exams. The only problem was that his son showed the qualities of an NT at a young age. Correct He is not NT, and his wife is not NT, so why is Hathaway NT? He knows that NT has nothing to do with genetics, but his heart is a little twisted. Thinking about it, he could not help but carefully look at his own son, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that the child didn''t look like him, but like someone he was very familiar with¡­ Correct "Hathaway." He got up and walked slowly behind his son, "What are you playing?" Correct "Talking to Audrey." Hathaway showed Bright his phone, "Look, Daddy." Correct Bright took the phone and looked at it; his son was indeed chatting with Lingus'' daughter. Basically, Hathaway sent Audrey 20 or 30 messages, and then Audrey would reply to him with a "hmm", "oh" or "got it". Correct "Ok, this IQ, he must be my son, he can''t be his son." Bright gave him the phone back and felt relieved, "But it seems that Lingus is really not good at educating children. He needs to learn more from me." Correct He doesn''t have a problem Audrey, after all, his son is still too young, and he doesn''t think that it''s a bad thing for a girl to be precocious. But¡­ isn''t she too precocious? Should I have a talk about children''s education with him? Correct He simply took out his cell phone and dialed Lingus'' number, but before he could say anything, the other party immediately said, "Commander Bright? I have something for you, I have deduced the location of the next angel''s attack." Correct "Huh?" Bright froze before responding, "Where?" Correct "Kilimanjaro."

Correct Mineva had to leave the warm and comfortable home, starting the long and uninteresting new semester, facing her childish and pestering classmates. Correct At this moment, Lacus was driving her to school. In order to prevent her from being discriminated against at school, Ade and Lacus played the role of daddy and mummy for her. Lacus was in charge of driving was because Mineva wanted to sit in Ade''s arms. Correct Unlock this chapter. As for the violation of traffic rules, which police have the courage to dare to stop his car? Correct "Don''t look so sad, my little princess." Ade gently pinched the little girl''s cheek, "The elementary school is like this, when you go to junior high school, it will be better." Correct "Hmph, when I go to junior high school, you will say it will be better when I go to high school." Mineva comfortably rubbed her body back, "I haven''t finished the game yet, I simply don''t care about class." Correct "Ade," Lacus sighed, "Haman Karn would be furious if she heard the conversation just now. " Correct "Children are meant to play happily, what''s wrong with this?" Ade said rightfully, "She is the daughter of the Lingus family, she neither needs to engage in the political struggle in the future nor is it necessary to marry with any big family. She just needs to enjoy her childhood, what''s the point of learning those useless things?" Correct "Mm-hmm!" Mineva nodded vigorously, "Aunt Haman is wrong, Uncle Ade is right, what is the point of learning those useless things?" Correct "If you had learned it long ago, you would not have to learn it again, but the opportunity to practice is very lacking." Lacus smiled faintly with meaning, "Isn''t that right, Mineva?" Solved "Eh?" Mineva blinked innocently with her big watery eyes, "Uncle Ade, what is Sister Lacus talking about?" Correct "Nothing, just something off the top of my head." Lacus stopped the car near the school, "Here we are." Correct After the family got out of the car, Ade held Mineva''s left hand, and Beargguy faithfully blocked the other side of Mineva''s body. Correct At this moment, there is still some time before the class starts. Many children took the initiative to greet Mineva and even Beargguy, it seems that the little girl is quite a celebrity in the school. Correct When she came to the entrance of the school, Mineva stood straight, facing Ade, and stretched her arms to him, "Uncle Ade, I want a kiss!" Correct "There are classmates watching." Ade smiled dotingly and leaned down to hug her, giving the little girl a kiss on her forehead, "Be safe at school, contact me anytime; don''t give trouble to your teachers and classmates, who dares to bully you, you must bully back; if you need to leave school early in the afternoon, tell the teacher and Momoka will come to pick you up¡ª" Correct While Ade was still chattering, Mineva tiptoed up and kissed him quickly, then ran away. Beargguy followed her, leaving only Ade stay in the place, feeling both funny and annoying. Lacus gave a playful look at Mineva, took Ade''s hand, and turned to leave. Correct Mineva blushed and ran all the way into the school gate. Looking at the students around, she hurriedly made a serious lady-like appearance. Correct Before entering the classroom, she heard the familiar sound of arguing from inside, and entered the door to see that it was indeed Banagher and Hathaway. The two boys were arguing about something again. Correct Seeing Mineva enter the classroom, Banagher raised his voice, "Obviously, Dr. Lingus is more powerful!" Correct Hathaway amplified his volume too, "You''re speaking nonsense, it''s clear that Dr. Minovsky is more powerful!" Solved "What do you two kids who haven''t even graduated from elementary school know?" Naturally, Mineva put her bag away and interjected as if nothing had happened, "If we''re talking about theoretical physics, Dr. Minovsky is more powerful." Correct "Audrey?!" Banagher showed an injured and shocked expression, "I''m on your side!" Correct "That''s what Uncle Ade said to me himself." Mineva smiled gracefully at him, "He said that Dr. Minovsky''s attainments in basic physics were so unfathomable that even he was inferior to him, and that if not for his unfortunate early death, our lives now might have turned out to be something else." Correct "But Dr. Lingus could build Gundam!" Banagher said excitedly, "Gundam! That''s Gundam! I ran into Liddy this morning, and he said he''d already piloted an MS himself over the summer!" Correct "It''s no big deal if you can build big robots, right? Boys just love these things." Mineva lightly smiled and shook her head, "Banagher, do you want to become an MS pilot in the future?" Correct "Yes, or to study in Anaheim Industry." Banagher scratched his head in distress, "But my dad recently lost his temper for some reason and deprived Brother Alberto''s inheritance rights, I may have to go back to inherit the Vist family''s business. Audrey, what about you? What''s going to happen to you in the future?" Correct "Hathaway, how about you?" Mineva very naturally ignored him and looked at the other boy, "What do you want to be when you grow up? Are you going to join the army like Uncle Bright?" Correct "Join the army¡­ I don''t think I''m interested in it." Hathaway thought carefully and seriously replied, "If I can, I want to learn about plants, and I wonder if there are any jobs where I can work with plants." Correct "Plants?" Mineva was taken aback, "Very interesting interest." Correct "Oh yeah, almost forgot. Audrey, Dad asked me to give you a message." Hathaway suddenly remembered, "He said that Uncle Lingus'' false information made Kilimanjaro under martial law for many days, and nothing happened. Dad said the big shots in the Federation Council were very angry and were questioning Uncle Lingus''s authority and competence, and told Uncle Lingus to pay attention." Correct "It''s too strange." Banagher asked inexplicably, "Why did they let you tell Audrey that? Shouldn''t Uncle Bright tell Dr. Lingus directly?" Correct Because the so-called false information was told to Uncle Bright by Uncle Ade, and if Uncle Bright told Uncle Ade this directly, it would sound like complaints, which tended to cause a rift between the two. If he passed the words through Audrey, a small child, Uncle Ade would know that Uncle Bright was not displeased, but was revealing to him the movement of the Federation Council. Correct Of course, although Mineva understood it, she didn''t bother to explain it to the two "little children", so she just returned to her seat to do her own thing. Correct The new semester''s lessons were still boring, all the things were something Mineva had learned long ago, making her drowsy. But in order to maintain her shining image as a good student in Uncle Ade''s eyes, she still pretended to listen carefully. Correct After she refused to go out with Banagher and Hathaway, and was just about to leave the classroom with her lunchbox when she ran into a handsome blonde boy in front of the classroom. The young man''s eyes lit up when he saw her and he said with affection, "Audrey, would you like to join us for lunch?" Correct "I''m sorry, Senior Liddy." Mineva lowered her head and smiled coyly, "I already have a date with Ple, next time." Correct At Liddy''s reluctant gaze, Mineva quickly turned away with a polite smile on her face. Correct After meeting up with Ple, the two found a secluded place to start eating lunch. Mineva''s bento was made by Momoka, very delicious and beautiful. Not to mention the bento boxes developed by Dr. Lingus, which can keep the flavor of the food to the maximum while keeping it warm. Correct "Uncle Ade himself often forgets to eat when he is too busying at work, but specifically make this kind of thing for me." A happy smile appeared on Mineva''s face, "Compared to that man, he is not qualified to call himself a father at all." Correct "Audrey, stop talking." Ple looked at Mineva''s bento and gulped, "It''s going to get cold if you don''t eat it." Correct "Stop swallowing and eat it together." Mineva set her bento box among the two, her eyes couldn''t help but drift to Ple''s slightly bulging chest, "Anyway, you are exactly ¡­ growing, you need to supply more nutrition." Correct "Mineva is the best!" Ple put down the cutlery and came forward to give Mineva a kiss on her cheeks, leaving a large circle of greasy marks, "Then I''ll start!" Correct "Ple~!" Mineva screamed unladylike and hurriedly pulled out wet wipes to wipe her face, "How many times have I said, don''t kiss me while eating!" Correct "Uh-huh," Ple nodded absentmindedly, swallowed the food in her mouth and continued, "By the way, today there are really boys sneakily staring at my chest, it''s really annoying." Correct "Boys are all like that, just ignore them." Mineva said with an unhappy look, "What do you have to be so bitter about? I even envy you. I have not even started to develop until now, it would be too bad if my chest ends up like¡­ Sister Nunnally." Correct "Why are you so worried? It''s just fat." Ple lowered her head, "Mom said she often has a headache when buying clothes and her shoulders are often sore, so, well, I don''t want them to get too big either." Correct "Auntie Aisha was showing off, showing off, get it?" Mineva pretended to be mature and sighed, "You''re still small, you''ll know when you have a man you like later." Correct "You''re even younger than me!" Ple hummed defiantly and suddenly froze, "Audrey, are you unhappy today? Did something unhappy happen to you?" Correct "Oh, you see it. NT can''t hide things between each other." Mineva unhappily poked her chopsticks at the rice in her bento box, "I was warned by Aunt Lacus during school this morning. Can you believe it? She even took precautions against me, an elementary school student! Old woman, she is the same as Aunt Haman!" Correct "What do you mean by being warned?" Ple asked with a confused look, "Does it mean something bad?" Correct "You have promised me that we''ll go to the same junior high school, Ple, you have to study hard to do that." Mineva helplessly covered her forehead, "Recently there is another new person in the family, oh, you have not met Alice. In short, in order to raise my weight in Uncle Ade''s mind, I''ve been acting a little more aggressively these days, and as a result, I was immediately targeted by Aunt Lacus." Correct "Huh?" Ple remained in a bewildered state, "Audrey, your family is too complicated, more complicated than the dramas mom watches. Every time I listen to you, I don''t get it. Aren''t you tired of living like this every day?" Correct "I would like to live simply as a couple, but unfortunately, I can''t." Mineva blushed, "When I secretly searched Aunt Lacus''s computer, I found a novel called "The Secret History of Char" in which I appeared, and it was even published online. This woman is too terrible, she had started to target me such a long time ago!" Correct "What is it called? I want to read it." Ple excitedly pulled out her phone, "Mineva appears in the novel, I want to read it." Correct "Don''t look!" Mineva''s face turned red. She pressed Ple''s hand and glared at her fiercely, "If you look at it, we''re done!" Correct "But, but you''ve seen it all ¡­" Ple puffed up her cheeks, "Ok, I don''t look, I don''t look, PlePle¡­ " Correct "There is that strange mouth fetish again!" Mineva sat back, "Anyway, you are not allowed to read the online version. If you really want to read it, I have an abridged version. You can read it." Correct "Really?" Ple excitedly stretched herself, "I want to read it! I want to read it!" Correct "Only one condition, after reading it, you have to be on my side no matter what happens in the future." Mineva put up a finger and said seriously, "Swear on the name of NewType, Ple, can you promise me?" Correct Ple tilted her head. Not knowing whether it was out of trust in Mineva or not overcoming her curiosity, she finally gave a "hmmm". Correct "Then we have a deal!" Mineva suddenly smiled brightly, "I''ll tell you another exciting news, Britannia''s Queen Nunnally is also on my side!"

CH 189 Chapter 189: Side Effects The banquet hall of the royal palace is not extravagantly decorated, but it is also spacious and grand. It was just after noon, the guests had not yet arrived, and those who came gathered according to their familiarity. However, today''s protagonist, Aeolia was sitting in the corner with an unhappy look, while Loran was laughing and talking with him at the side. "I''ve told you many times, I don''t like to be with too many people. It would be better if you, Diana, and Ikari accompany me to have a chitchat. You just don''t listen, and have to make such a big noise." Aeolia said with a stern look on his face, "Look at all these people who are here, how many of them do I know? I might as well go back to the lab." "You can get to know them over time." Loran smiled and said, "Doctor, you have suffered so much in your early years, now it is the right time to rest. Don''t stay in the lab all the time, older people should go out more often and meet different people to expand the scope of their lives." Unlock this chapter. "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking, you want me to make up with Lingus, right? I have watched you grow up. You went from being a young teenager to being able to hold your own, and then ¡­" Aeolia''s voice trailed off as he spoke, "¡­ finally became what you are now ." Loran fell into silence. "Back then, I saw kindness, bravery, righteousness, resilience, and all the good qualities of human beings in you and Diana. I looked at you and felt that there was a future for humanity, and felt that the time I consumed in the laboratory was worthwhile, and that''s why I entrusted Diana with SEELE." Aeolia paused, "But what''s going on with you and Lingus now?" "Ade and I are just ordinary friends, at most they seem to be closer, your imagination is too rich." Laura squeezed out a forced smile, "If you''re asking me, Doctor, I''m just trying to pin down my incestuous self. Both Diana and I have suffered for this for so many years, and now we are finally relieved, thanks to you, Doctor." "Don''t play dumb with me." Aeolia said in a deep voice, "Shouldn''t you feel sorry for Diana?" "I ¡­" Loran subconsciously looked at his fingertips, "I didn''t do anything wrong to Diana, well, I didn''t. " "It''s not yet, is it?" Aeolia pushed the glasses, "I don''t care about Lingus, he has so many women, but I watched Diana growing up, you have to be frank to her." "I ¡­ will come clean with Diana." Loran whispered, "I''m thinking about it that way for a long time, really, I always wanted to say it, just ¡­ not now." "I''m already one hundred and ten this year, I know my own body well. I can still live for at most another ten years, I hope I can see your promise before I die." Aeolia suddenly revealed a sly smile, "As compensation for the old man, you first do me a favor." "Doctor, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will do my best." Loran answered, but looking at Aerlia''s smile, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. "Lingus has a monopoly on almost every ACE on the moon, it''s really abominable." Aeolia smacked his lips, "Go to find me a trustworthy MS pilot, with Gundam driving experience. In addition, you''re absolutely not allowed to tell him anything about this." "Doctor!" Loran blushed and asked with an inaudible voice, "That thing¡­ do you still want to complete it?" "Of course, the moon, as the bridge of the future human race, needs absolute force deterrence." Aeolia said thoughtfully, "TurnA is back at the moment, but I can''t trust it anymore. Don''t worry, it''s not that I can''t trust Lingus, but I can''t trust that so-called AI who calls herself Alice." "Alice is quite lovely, why can''t we trust¡ª" Loran''s eyes crossed the entrance to the hall, the corners of his mouth curved up a nice arc, "What a coincidence, Alice is here. " At the entrance to the banquet hall, Ade was leading his large family into the entrance, and Alice was also among them. After entering the door, C.C. looked randomly towards Mayu with no expression; Ange rushed to Cagalli with a face full of expectation, to say the least, to the child she was holding in her arms; only Lacus and Alice remained by Ade''s side. This was the first time that Alice saw so many people with her own eyes, and she was apparently slightly excited. The group in front of her was neither data nor images on the screen, but independent individuals like her. "Ade, Ade!" Alice said excitedly, "There are so many people, all real people, and each one is different! I suddenly have a sense¡­ well¡­ Alice doesn''t know how to say it, I just feel like I''m alive!" Ade smiled gratefully and didn''t say anything. "Then it seems that we have to take you out more often in the future." Beside her, Lacus chuckled, "Not the same as when you were on the ELS planet, is it?" "Yeah, yeah." Alice nodded her little head, "When I was on the planet, everyone was one, there was no distinction between you and me, there was no need to even call people by their names, it was completely different from here!" "Isn''t it?" Lacus softly echoed, "And although Earth has rich Chulip crystal mines, humans can''t afford to extract them. ELS has advanced extraction technology, but lacks resources. We should have known that and have cooperated, so that we could all safely escape to the outside of the galaxy, right?" "Right!" Alice said with regret, "If I had known it, I would have¡ª" "Alice!" Ade interrupted her sternly, "Think again?" "Think what?" Alice looked at Ade with an innocent look and froze for a while before it dawned on her, "Ah, no, it''s them, not me. I''m sorry, Ade, I sometimes ¡­ well, I''m sorry ¡­" In the dead center of Ade and Alice''s vision, Lacus narrowed her eyes. "It''s okay, just get used to it, eveything will be okay." Ade stroked Alice''s head and suddenly shouted out to a figure not far away, "Garrod, stop right there! What are you running for? Why don''t you even say hello to me?" "Oh, Dr. Lingus, you''re here! I just saw you, really!" Garrod laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head, "This little girl next to you is your new girlfriend, right? Is she out of junior high school? She looks even younger than Miss Ange¡­ well¡­ really getting younger and younger." "You¡­" Ade felt both funny and annoying, "This is Alice, she is¡ª" "No need to explain, I understand, I understand. Dr. Yang has preached that with one there are two, with two there are three, with three there are countless, Dr. Lingus, you have reached the highest level." Garrod pretended as if nothing had happened and pulled the young girl beside him and turned around, "Tiffa, that fruit looks so delicious, let''s go and try it!" Tiffa hid her mouth and gave a light laugh, and owed to Ade slightly. Ade waved a hand at her and noticed that Alice was gone when he turned around, "Lacus, where''s Alice?" "Over there." Lacus pointed casually, "Ran off to talk to Uraki." "You''re Kou Uraki, right! Hello, I''m Alice, Ade should have told you about me!" Alice stood in front of Uraki with her arms crossed, and exclaimed, "Please stop spreading strange mangas, Alice doesn''t like the plots in them! If you don''t agree, I''ll tell Ade that they were all uploaded by you!" Uraki panicked and glanced at his wife who was chatting with Cagalli and Ange in the distance, then darted a quick glance in the direction of Ade and Lacus and whispered something to Alice with his hands folded. "I know you didn''t draw them, but Alice has investigated carefully and found that you''re the biggest purveyor on the internet!" Alice puffed out her cheeks and said with an unhappy look, "Ninety-eight percent of the resources on the Internet were from a group, and you are the owner of that group, if you don''t woo-woo." Ade, who walked quickly to Alice''s side, covered her mouth, raised his head and looked at Uraki awkwardly, "Well, Kou, I didn''t hear anything." Uraki suddenly showed a lifeless look on his face, "Doctor, I will stop spreading them." What should I say at a time like this? Don''t read my r18 mangas anymore? Just read them in private? It''s okay to let everyone read them? Well, none of the answers seems appropriate. When Ade was at a loss, Loran came over with Aeolia. Uraki let out a long breath of relief and hurried away. "Why don''t you come to greet me? Young people nowadays are really impolite, are you here to wish me a birthday or not?" Aeolia looked at Alice next to him, "You are Alice?" "I am Alice." Alice tilted her head, "Grandpa¡­ Aeolia?" "Don''t be too busy shouting grandpa, I still don''t know who is older between us." Aeolia gave Ade a look, "Are you interested in lending it to me to study?" "Not a chance in hell, what do you take her for?" Ade looked at Aeolia with reflexive anger, "Or are you addicted to human experimentation and think that the GN furnace isn''t exciting enough?" Loran''s face was full of anxiety, and he gave Ade a strong wink. Seeing this, Ade helplessly put away his fierce eyes and tried to make his expression look milder. "You are very talented, much better than even Ikari, but your talent is not being used properly." Aeolia sighed regretfully, "A scholar''s judgment comes from facts and logic, and you''re too blind in your feelings, causing your reason to be severely disturbed. But so be it, this is all a common problem of NTs." "What exactly are you trying to say?" "I won''t live long, the future of humanity still has to be left to young people like you, and all I can do is just help pave the way for the young." Aeolia shook his head, "Let''s put this aside, I heard that the Federation has a lot of opinions about you now? And many people are clamoring to take away your power?" "Yes." Ade cooperated with him to change the topic, "But there is no way that they will succeed, I still have Plan B." "It''s not a matter of success or not." Aeolia looked solemn, "Technology has been so advanced, but the human government has not yet substantially unified, how can we work together to face the future crisis? This will definitely not work, we need to artificially interfere with the course of history." "Doctor, Ade is doing that." Loran interjected, "But everything takes time, we count foreign countries to the Federation after all, and it''s impossible to completely unify humanity all at once." "The means is too lukewarm, where is the momentum when arguing with me? Or did you think of it long ago but are waiting for others to come forward so you can alleviate your own guilt?" Aeolia''s gaze was like a torch, "Now, we are the most advanced technological development, we are the most advanced cultural direction, we are the fundamental hope for human survival, just kill all the people that dare to against us!"

Correct This is not a question of which party has taken over which party, but more like the question Ade faced before. Is Alice who has accepted ELS''s memories wholesale still Alice? Shouldn''t Ade be the one who should care the most about this issue? Correct "I can''t say that ELS has seized Alice''s consciousness." Lacus continued, "But from my several talks with Alice, it seems that her self-perception is not solid, and she is obviously still wavering between the two consciousnesses of Alice and ELS." Correct Unlock this chapter. "Ade is aware of that, right?" Ange shook her head, "Yes, he must know, it was himself who was in the same position in the first place, he should know Alice''s situation better than anyone else." Correct "Yes, he knows." Lacus''s gaze was cold, "But it''s one thing to know, it''s another thing to solve." Correct Ange couldn''t help but wander slightly. What would things have been like if Ade had chosen to accept Yang''s memories back then? Would it still be possible for her and him to be together? In the end, is there really a way to solve such problems once the choice has been made? Correct "You know Ade''s character, otherwise, now you will not stand in front of me. If his character wasn''t like that, even I wouldn''t have joined this family, and it should be him, C.C. and Mineva to live together." Lacus continued, "Then ten years from now, C.C. and Mineva may kill each other, and he kills himself with guilt or something." Correct "Mirror life again, I''m so sick of it. Hopefully you showed up, or he''d end up just like dad in the future," Ange stuck out her tongue. Correct "Maybe? Not to talk about it, it''s too far." Lacus didn''t care much, "We might as well make a hypothetical, if one day, Alice''s self-awareness is no match for ELS and really falls that way, how do you think Ade would choose? More simply put, would he be able to do it?" Correct "How is it possible, his character¡­ he will laugh when he is stabbed¡­" Ange looked down to her palm, and her five fingers codified inwardly, "Should we do it for him? But Alice has seized TurnA''s control, if she betrayed us, I can''t¡­" Correct "You just need to nod your head, I''ll provide the means." Lacus raised the corners of her mouth, "In order to protect the family, but also to protect Ade, if someone commits an act of betrayal, we must be prepared for the appropriate countermeasures." Correct "Is there a program against C.C.? Is it possible that there is a program for me as well? Is there a program for Momoka as well? Mineva too?" Ange watched dumbfounded as Lacus nodded in turn, "Everyone has been targeted, what about your own betrayal?" Correct "There are options to deal with me as well, which will automatically trigger if I betray." Lacus took a deep breath, "Thanks to Ade for stopping me in time last time, I won''t make the same mistake a second time." Correct What happened between Lacus and Ade, how they fell out, and how they made up, Ange didn''t care at all, just like she didn''t want anyone else to interfere with her and Ade''s relationship. What doesn''t she mean by saying "last time?" Actually, she didn''t even have the urge to ask, just breathlessly sigh, "You guys are so tired of living." Correct "So now that I''ve calmed down, I realize that your existence is somehow necessary for him, otherwise, Ade would have been driven crazy by me and C.C., right?" Lacus laughed softly in a self-deprecating manner, "I don''t want anything right now, I just want the family to live happily ever after." Correct "How didn''t you figure it out earlier?" Ange looked down at her watch, "It''s late, it''s almost time for you to speak, let''s start." Correct Lacus answered yes, opened the laptop on the desktop, took out a data disk from her pocket, and inserted it. The screen immediately lit up with the eye-catching "La+" logo, and as Lacus tapped, a new set of coordinates appeared one after another. Correct "Hey? This is the Laplace program, huh?" Ange looked left and right curiously, "It feels like playing a game, so that Dr. E.A. Ray may be a game enthusiast?" Correct "You shouldn''t continue to play video games with Mineva, she is so fascinated that she doesn''t want to go to class." Lacus smiled and pulled out the data disk and took it back into the inside pocket of her shirt, "Let''s go after I fix my makeup." Correct Ange didn''t respond, but she looked a bit squirmy, thinking about fixing her makeup too. However, Momoka was not around, and Ade was not around either, so how could she, a princess, do her own makeup? Correct "Ade learned to match your clothes, learned to comb your hair, learned to put on makeup for you, how much does he really like you ¡­ this is not like treating a lover, it is simply like taking care his own daughter." Lacus sighed and beckoned to her, "Come on, I''ll help you." Correct "Really?" Ange was overjoyed and followed briskly into the bathroom, "For the record, you want to do it for me, not me who ask you to do it for me!" Correct ¡­ Correct "As mentioned above, the independent emergency vault with eighteen layers of special armor is being constructed overnight by the Kilimanjaro base, and it can currently accommodate more than eighty percent of the people present." Bright Noa said in a serious voice, "If there is no accident, this kind of vault will be built in order in major important government facilities, starting with Dakar." Correct The meeting room became a little noisy, and many people began to talk to each other. Correct "Another advanced vault with twenty-four layers of armor has better defensive performance, but it is not being deployed at the moment due to time and cost issues." Bright ignored the voices below and continued, "The special materials needed to build the vault and the related design drawings will be open to private purchase, please contact me after the meeting if you are interested." Correct "Isn''t it the Critique Meeting of Dr. Lingus?" Saji asked his girlfriend beside him in a whisper, "How did it turn into a merchandise fair?" Correct "Because people are more concerned about their own death or survival than Dr. Lingus, right?" Louise was not surprised, "I think Commander Noa is definitely going to make a big profit." Correct "A-Laws formerly known as TITANS, does have many advanced MS technology, but the materials engineering is not good, right? Maybe the so-called vault is using Anaheim''s technology." Saji added. Correct "I was just thinking about going home and asking my mom and dad to build one, and you immediately made me feel like I''m cheated." Louise suddenly pointed her finger to her mouth, "Shhh, Mrs. Lingus is on stage. Quiet." Correct Lacus, dressed in formal attire, walked up to the podium after Bright''s introduction, and a pretty young girl stood behind her, dressed in pitch black with bright blonde hair, looking heroic. Correct "Where are your eyes looking?" Louise twisted hard on Saji thigh. Saji''s brow twisted in pain, "Do you think Lingus'' wife is more beautiful, or Lingus'' lover is more beautiful?" Correct "Neither is as pretty as Louise." Saji answered without thinking, the pain in his leg instantly subsided, "That bodyguard is not necessarily Dr. Lingus''s lover, right? We shouldn''t just believe the rumors on the Internet." Correct "You are too ignorant of the darkness of high society." Louise disdainfully bristled. Correct "But Mr. Carrot said ¡­" Saji decided to shut up after seeing his girlfriend''s questioning eyes, "I can not imagine that Dr. Lingus is scum! It is shameful, too shameful." Correct On the stage, Lacus was still explaining for Ade, but the audience had yelled up. Correct "Mrs. Lingus, please allow me to interrupt." A senator, who looked thirty or forty years old, stood up, "You said so much, and I only figured out two points. The first is your husband is right, the second is if the reality goes different from what your husband said, please refer to the first. Is my interpretation wrong?" Correct In the face of the malicious jeers ringing out from the venue, Lacus responded with a serious face, "No one can prove that Dr. Lingus is wrong until the next angel officially appears, and both myself and the lunar government have plenty of confidence in my husband''s theory." Correct "Who is that guy standing up?" Saji touched Louise lightly with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Why did he speak so impulsively?" Correct "Meitzer Ronah." Louise replied casually, "He is quite capable, but a little radical. He often said that the universe belongs to Coordinators and so on." Correct "But why?" Saji asked in disbelief, "He''s made a career at a young age, so why rush against the moon? Doesn''t our family have to play neutral?" Correct "Our family? We''re not married yet, it''s my family!" Louise blushed, "Well, I don''t know politics, I need to ask my brother later." Correct "Isn''t it too ridiculous to say this kind of words on the council?" Ronah was still shouting, "The angel issue is about the safety of the world, are you trying to muddle through a simple sentence ''I have confidence?'' Dr. Lingus, as the highest person in charge of the tri-national agreement, shouldn''t there be a corresponding accountability system to monitor him?" Correct Lacus asked indifferently, "May I ask Senator Ronah, are you questioning my husband''s authority? Are you thinking that there exists an individual or institution that is more judgmental than my husband?" Correct "Of course!" Ronah replied in a loud voice, "Since Dr. Lingus declared that the angels would attack Kilimanjaro, he has to be responsible for what he said! If Lingus really has the ability, show it! Let the angel appear now for everyone to see¡ª" Correct "First level alert! First level alert! Unidentified flying objects have been observed approaching the Kilimanjaro Mountains, please follow the instructions for orderly evacuation!" An ear-splitting alarm interrupted, "Repeat, First level alert ¡­" Correct The auditorium was quiet for three seconds and then instantly boiled over. All Senator''s faces turned pale and looked around. Correct "Where''s Lingus?" Someone suddenly shouted, "The angel is here, go get Lingus!" Correct The evacuation light on the door at the side of the auditorium quietly lit up, and people rushed toward the exit like sharks who had caught the scent of blood. Correct "Saji, did Commander Noa just say that the vault can only accommodate 80% of the personnel?" Louise asked in a panic, "What are we going to do? Force ourselves to squeeze in?" Correct "Don''t be silly, can we squeeze in?" Wang Liu Mei walked up to them with a smile on her face and greeted them, "Haven''t you noticed? The people who support the moon are all at the end of the line, and definitely couldn''t get in." Correct "Why are you still laughing? Not afraid to die?" Louise asked incredulously, "There is no NT pilot in Kilimanjaro!" Correct "What''s the hurry? Lingus'' wife and lover are still standing over there." Wang Liu Mei put up a finger, poking the direction of the podium. Lacus and Ange were whispering something, "I think, it should be safer by following them than hiding into the so-called vault, what do you think?"

The alien creature that appeared on the screen was hovering low from the ground, steadily advancing in the direction of Kilimanjaro. It was trailing several ribbon-like tails behind it, waving toilet paper-like arms on both sides of its body, and a conspicuous red bead set within two rows of canine teeth on its chest. Correct Cluster rockets and high-energy particle beams bombarded the invisible force field on its body, and the violent explosions and dazzling flashes made the people in the command tower almost unable to open their eyes, yet its pace was not slowed down even a little bit. Correct "Live fire and energy weapons can''t break its defense, the first line of defense is breaking through!" The liaison shouted hoarsely, "Commander, please give instructions!" Correct Unlock this chapter. "All field personnel retreat to the fifth defense line immediately." Bright calmly ordered, "Use the main artillery array and missile clusters to implement uninterrupted bombardment, its AT field''s defense has a ceiling." Correct Bright had long obtained the detailed information of angels, and the creature in front of him was obviously the Fourteenth Angel Zerel. According to Lingus'' description, this thing didn''t have the terrifying long-range output capability like Ramiel, which meant that the base was safe until it broke through the final defense line. Correct "Commander, the second defensive line has broken through!" The liaison''s voice rang out again, "It has not yet penetrated the angel''s defense, and the residual ammunition from the continuous bombardment is consumed too quickly!" Correct "Maintain firepower." Bright remained calm, "Shouldn''t ammunition be used in a place like this?" Correct Yet, why this time? Correct The meeting at Kilimanjaro was suggested by Lingus, and the materials and design drawings for the vault were also provided by Lingus. But right now ¡­ Correct "Commander, the third defensive line was broken through!" The liaison suddenly let out a cry of alarm, "The angel changed its course and started moving towards the vault!" Correct "Don''t worry." Bright said in a deep voice, "The vault is protected by eighteen layers of special armor plates, it should be fine. Maintain fire and don''t stop until the vault is in splash range." Correct The site of the vault was set by Lingus himself right above the quantum coordinate generator, and the other party even hinted to him that in case something happened, we should let the masses in need go in first. He, Bright Noa, is not very smart, but he still understood this level of subtext. Correct In the spirit of trust in Lingus, he did all of them, yet everything that happened in front of him was showing him that the truth seemed to be ¡­ Correct "Lingus, have you expected this long ago?" Correct The room suddenly quieted down, no more bombardment sounded, and the Fourteenth Angel Zerel on the display had floated right above the vault. The long, flattened arms on either side of its body shrank inward rapidly, curling up into two tiny cylinders in front of its chest. In the next second, the cylinders suddenly stretched out and struck hard, cutting through the armor plates and extending straight down at ease. Correct "Commander, the vault''s armor is damaged! Five, no, ten, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen ¡­" the liaison''s jaw dropped, "Eighteen layers of armor were all pierced by a single attack! What the hell?!" Correct The Fourteenth Angel Zerel on the screen slowly withdrew its outstretched arm at this point. The bright red color displayed on the screen silently explained to everyone present what was happening below. Correct "Where''s the contact over there?" Bright loudly woke up the others who were still in shock, "Earl the casualties immediately!" Correct "Communication device is damaged, no contact!" The CIC exclaimed almost immediately, "Commander, the angel has turned around and is coming towards the base!" Correct The Fourteenth Angel Zerel on the screen looked still dull. However, every time it advances, everyone present feels suffocated, and even the heavy firepower bombardment cannot bring them a sense of reassurance. Correct Bright calmly asked, "What is the status of the quantum coordinate generator below the vault?" Correct "Huh?" The CIC froze before responding, "It''s completely destroyed, unable to obtain the coordinates there." Correct "It''s true, Lingus chose this place intentionally, the coordinate generator is faulty¡­" Bright secretly gritted his teeth, "The angel found out that the target is not down there and is going to take out its anger on us humans?" Correct "Commander, the fourth defense line has been broken through!" The CIC shouted, "Emergency communication, identify the signal as ¡­ moon! It says reinforcements are on the way, tell us to wait, and it''s addressed to Adrien Lingus!" Correct "It''s too late." Bright exhaled heavily, "Pass the order to the whole army, abandon Kilimanjaro, everyone, evacuate immediately." Correct "There''s no such thing as too late!" A cheerful voice rang out on the friendly channel, "I''ll slow this thing down, Commander Bright, I trust Dr. Lingus!" Correct A Jegan appeared abruptly on the screen, speeding towards the angel. The beam rifle shot pointlessly and gently against the AT field, not even making a ripple. Correct "Graham Aker!" Bright roared, "I didn''t give the order to strike!" Correct "It has nothing to do with your orders, it is my own will." Graham replied in a firm voice, "Although I can''t destroy it as Major Amuro did, I can still draw its attention. No need for airframe support or artillery assistance, just leave this to me, reinforcements will be here soon!" Correct Bright was silent for a moment, and finally spit out the words through his teeth, "Leave the angel to Captain Aker, all ready to evacuate and ready to move." Correct "Beautiful decision, worthy of being Captain Bright!" Aker in the cockpit moved his hands quickly and made various delicate micro-maneuvers, "Having to abandon the Gundam model in pursuit of better functions is my biggest regret, but this dilemma is also the destiny as a Virgo ACE!" Correct The Jegan rotated and panned up and down around the angel under his manipulation, which was dazzling to the eyes. The two flattened arms of the angel were lengthened, lengthened again, lengthened again and again under his guidance, and passed by the Jegan''s fuselage again and again without any danger. Correct The length of the angel''s arms finally almost reached its limit, and Jegan''s spout flipped forward, the fuselage stepped back sharply. The angel''s two ribbons rolled back with a fierce force and tied its own body tightly. Correct Graham couldn''t help but shrug in the cockpit, "It seems this thing really doesn''t have much intelligence." Correct The Fourteenth Angel Zerel who had tied itself up stood still for about two seconds, and the two arms suddenly relaxed, followed by a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye as it reeled back, and by the time Aker''s dynamic vision caught up with it, two tight cylinders were once again clenched on its chest. Correct "Oh, it will use the blow just now." Graham tightened the joystick in his hand and gulped unconsciously, "I''m a man who had the qualifications to pilot Gundam, there''s no reason that I can''t dodge it." Correct However, Aker was very clear that the current movement speed alone was unable to dodge the blow just now. To avoid it, it will mainly depend on intuition and luck. Correct Aker took a deep breath, then held his breath and locked his eyes on the two cylinders in front of the angel. One point five seconds later, he didn''t see the angel make a move, just felt its tail was in an uncoordinated posture, but he instantly pull the joystick to dodge. The next moment, Jegan''s left arm was sliced off. Correct "Hahahahahaha!" Aker couldn''t help but laugh out loud, "I''m even better than Amuro today!" Correct Before the words left his mouth, an invisible shockwave hit Jegan''s fuselage, and the 20-ton MS was easily knocked away like a rag doll. Aker inside the fuselage coughed out a large mouthful of blood, feeling the force of gravity spinning in his internal organs. Correct He immediately unhook his helmet, which was obscured by blood, and hanging it to the side. The renewed vision showed the angel holding both arms up in front of itself to build up power, while Jegan''s main screen was brutally darkened. Correct "Looks like the Doctor is a man who loves to be late!" He laughed freely, "But if I''m going to die, I want to die on Gundam! Ah! Unicorn, why are you so beautiful! I want to hold you so tight! Amuro Ray! I''m so jealous of you!" Correct As he was saying that, a hideous thick beam of light smashed in front of Jegan, the whole earth shook, and the dazzling light pierced the whole sky. Soon after the light dispersed, the two arms of the Fourteenth Angel Zerel were cut off from it, helplessly drooping on the ground. Correct "You pervert! Stay away from my daughter!" Someone''s unforgiving rebuke rang out on the public channel, "If you speak such words again, I''ll make sure you don''t have any Gundam to drive for the rest of your life!" Correct Aker shouted out excitedly, "I''ve been waiting for you, father-in-law!" Correct A stream of light descended from the sky, pulling out a silver line like a falling star. The silver thread ignored the AT field and stuck to the angel''s torso, gracefully circling around several times, and the arm that was originally sharp and indestructible broke in a flash, gushing blood. Correct "Tiffa, here." Ade silently recited in his consciousness, and then drew back sharply. Correct The unseen torrent of energy from beyond the sky came rushing in once again. The earth beneath his feet trembled once again, and the Fourteenth Angel Zerel bathed in glorious light, faded away, until it disappeared completely. Correct "Silver-white TurnA?!" Aker didn''t even look at the evaporating angel, but just stared at the silver MS in the sky, "Too beautiful, she''s too beautiful! Doctor, can you let me see it up close?" Correct "No way." TurnA slowly flew off into the distance, "Hard work, let Bright get someone to pick you up. Oh, remember to ask him to post the video of your cockpit to the Internet." Correct After saying that, Ade turned off the public channel, refusing to listen to Aker''s criminal prepper-like remarks. Correct "Ade, Ade!" Alice twisted her body in his arms, "Is TurnA super powerful after fusing with ELS''s technology? I fixed it! And TurnA is now a part of my body!" Correct "Well, Alice is really great!" Ade freed a hand to touch her head, and his arm accidentally brushed against a certain hard object that was quite spectacular compared to Alice''s physique, "Uh, Alice, it doesn''t feel right to the touch." Correct "Huh, it''s not right?" Alice looked down, "But I don''t have the data, this is my own calculation. Well, I''ll ask stupid Ange for the data later." Correct "Let''s not talk about that." Ade gently touched her hand, "How do you feel now? Does it feel like your consciousness has been invaded?" Correct "There is a little ¡­" Alice raised her head, "but TurnA is very useful, Ade just said the same thing, right? So Alice will cheer up and try not to lose to herself!" Correct "Fortunately, you rushed back as soon as you finished fusing with ELS, otherwise ¡­" Ade hugged Alice tightly. Correct "But Alice wants to help Ade." Alice said seriously, "Ade said that ELS is very important, related to your strategic layout. Alice wants to become useful, so Alice will work hard!" Correct "You are actually quite useful as a music player too." Ade pinched her cheek, "No need to try, really, I''ll try." Correct A moment later, TurnA landed on the tarmac of Kilimanjaro base, besides Lacus and Ange, even Bright was waiting below with a stern look. Correct "Is that your plan?" Seeing Ade come down, Bright ignored Alice and asked, "While getting our customers all dead, while proving unreliable of your projects, who will buy it then? I have planned to change MS to Jagan for the whole army!" Correct "Yes, yes, we can''t sell the eighteenth-floor type, but there is still the twenty-four-floor type, right?" Ade asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, why did I design two models for what?" Correct "Wait, is the twenty-four-layer type for this? I see, so that''s it! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Bright smiled and patted Ade''s shoulder, "Go on, talk to your family first, I''ll leave you alone." Correct After saying that, he simply turned around and left, leaving three people and an "MS girl" face to face. Correct "By the way, Ade, just now, a woman named Wang Liu Mei has been pestering us, Lacus had a hard time getting rid of her." Ange stared straight at Ade and spoke before Lacus, "Look me in the eye and answer me, do you have thoughts about her?" Correct Ade looked into her big beautiful eyes and answered frankly, "No." Correct "Well, pass." Ange continued without a pause, "Then look me in the eye again and answer me, do you have thoughts about Loran?" Correct Alice left Ade, fluttered into Ange''s arms, and put her hands on the latter''s chest with the words on her lips, "The data is collected! I see, I see! Wonderful, wonderful!"

Lacus helplessly yanked Alice off Ange, "There''s still business to be done, let''s hurry home." Correct "I''m just doing my job!" Ange stomped her foot with hatred, "Gee, Lacus you''re just ¡­" Correct "Don''t watch them fool around here, Ade, hurry up and coax Bright up." Lacus indicated the direction where Bright left, "Listen to his tone just now, he was pretty angry. Hurry to solve the hidden problems before it''s too late. The more delayed, the worse." Correct Unlock this chapter. "Is he angry?" Alice asked confusedly, "Wasn''t that guy still laughing?" Correct "He just didn''t want to make too much of a scene." Lacus stared for a moment in thought, "Forget it, Ade. With your emotional intelligence, you may not be able to handle it. I''ll do it myself. Ange and Alice, Ade and I will leave for a while, you two just stay here." Correct After saying that, she took Ade''s arm and quickly chased after Bright, leaving Ange and Alice staring at each other. Ange froze slightly and puffed up her cheeks sullenly, "Alice, why do you think she acts like only she is his wife?" Correct "Because she is, she was the first one to officially register her marriage with Ade." Alice said and pounced on Ange again, "Stupid Ange, I want to continue collecting data!" Correct "You''re the stupid music player!" Ange picked up Alice with one hand, "What are you thinking? What if someone sees you? If you want to do something bad, don''t you know to hide in TurnA''s cockpit first?" Correct Lacus and Ade caught up with Bright, who met with them in his office. After Bright instructed his adjutant to go out, he sat across from the two with an expressionless look, "Didn''t you guys go back? What else is going on?" Correct "Well, Commander Bright, it''s about today''s matter." Ade took the initiative to speak at the prompting of Lacus''s eyes, "I want to explain about today''s matter." Correct "There''s nothing to explain." Bright put a formulaic smile on his face, "Dr. Lingus is far-sighted, solving the threat of the angel and manifesting the force of the moon at the same time, making an indelible contribution to world peace and human happiness. Our army will do its best and continue to cooperate with you in the future." Correct Ade felt a headache. Sure enough, Lacus was right, "I know you are angry." Correct "I''m not angry." Bright replied credulously, "Ohhhh, not angry." Correct Ade continued, "I know you don''t want to be kept in the dark. " Correct "I''m just afraid I''ve been kept in the dark for too many years!" Speaking of this, Bright can not help but raised his eyebrows up, "Lingus, I take such a big risk to cooperate with you, I want you to tell me the truth, is it excessive? Are there any questions? No problem, well, then I ask you, is it you who led the angel here?" Correct Ade reflexively said, "The angel asked me to bring you a¡ª" Correct Lacus stretched out her fingernails, covertly pinched on the back of Ade''s hand, and took the initiative to change the topic, "Commander Bright, Ade often told me at home that you are brave and decisive in the battlefield, able to make good decisions, generous and kind. You are one of the people he admires most." Correct Ade nodded after her, "There are three people I admire most in my life, one is Dr. Minovsky, one is His Highness Loran, and the other is you, Commander Bright." Correct "How can I be compared to Dr. Minovsky and Prince Loran?" Bright''s look visibly eased a bit, "So tell me, what is going on with that angel?" Correct Lacus gently caressed the back of Ade''s hand, and Ade immediately took over the topic, "I found that the angels actually seemed to be attracted by the quantum coordinate generator, so I guess that the next location they are going to go is Kilimanjaro. I called you as soon as I thought of it, don''t you remember, Commander?" Correct "I remember it." Bright nodded, "Or just call me by my first name. Go on, what''s going on with the time?" Correct "There are patterns in time, too. Through some kind of complex algorithm. After this test, it is not surprising that it agrees with my guesses." Ade made it up with half-truths, "Every time a set date is reached, the next coordinate will be activated automatically. The activated coordinate generator sends a special signal through the back door, inviting nearby lurking angels." Correct "Ade sensed that there might be other people behind this and was deeply concerned about it. He didn''t sleep well for several nights in a row." Lacus pressed Ade''s hand to stop him from speaking, and made a sad expression, "Considering that humans should not waste any more energy on internal conflict, he had to take a risk and make this move." Correct "I understand the original reason, the plan is cruel but acceptable." Bright, as a veteran, didn''t really care about the death of the politicians, "Then why didn''t tell me in advance? Was it because you couldn''t trust me or did you suspect that I wouldn''t support your plan?" Correct "At the beginning, I wanted to discuss with you first," Ade said sincerely, "But when I picked up the phone, I felt that I could not do so." Correct After that, he touched Lacus'' palm with his little thumb, and the latter understood his hint, "Ade has always been kind-hearted, and he is not willing to let you also carry the moral shackles, become a ruthless father, so he secretly decided to take the matter into his own hands. I''m not ashamed to say that I was actually against him doing this from my point of view as his wife, but he just wouldn''t listen to me." Correct Speaking of the Hathaway siblings, Bright could not help but be stunned for a moment, followed by a long exhale, "Lingus¡­ you ¡­ sigh ¡­" Correct "I know with Commander Bright''s ability, you won''t just see the angel cause any casualties." Ade continued, "You know TurnA''s strength, and even if an unexpected situation really happened and I couldn''t fly here in time, with your rich experience, you will certainly make the whole army retreat instructions." Correct "Actually, I am very worried." Lacus said while making a worried look, "In case of any major casualties, it may break our close relationship, but Ade kept insisting that you, Commander Bright, would be able to handle the situation appropriately, and I didn''t believe him. It seems that I''m still not very good at reading people." Correct "With the angel''s movement speed, we can always run away if we can''t fight." Bright''s mouth twitched slightly, "The angel looked great, but in fact, the One Year War was more dangerous than encountering the angel. I have seen a lot of battles, can''t I handle this kind of small scene? There was actually no need for Captain Aker to go out, everything is under my control." Correct "But I''m still sorry for causing so much damage to A-Laws, I''m afraid the ammunition consumption is very big, right?" Ade made a pained look, "I''ll make the decision for His Highness Loran, let Anaheim fund and sponsor some MSs and money to A-Laws ¡­" Correct "No need." Bright said and waved his hand, "I will take this opportunity to ask for military expenses from the Federation Council. The political situation is going to change dramatically after this, and our power of speech is expected to rise. Everything will be fine." Correct Hearing the word "our power of speech", Lacus finally settled down and gently squeezed Ade''s thumb, "Commander Bright, please forgive me for ignorantly asking, even if these political enemies no longer exist, we still need to deal with political affairs. But Ade is not very good at these things, he only knows to bury his head in scientific research. Can you ¡­?" Correct "I also don''t know this. The person who is good at this is MIA now." Bright shook his head regretfully, "Lingus, what do you think?" Correct "I think, an inefficient and decentralized fragmented government is not what we want to see. For the sake of what we''re trying to do now and in the future, a functional and strong unified government is what we''re looking forward to." Ade tentatively locked eyes with Bright, "Do you think that we can work together with Prime Minister Marcenas? At least in the grand scheme of things, he is quite competent." Correct "Although he is the Prime Minister, he holds no real power. But we hold the military power, so he has to rely on us." Bright nodded his head as if in a daze, "Good, good, that''s a good idea. I''ve been hesitating to cooperate with His Excellency before, but you, Lingus, are smarter than me. You see through the essence of the problem at a glance." Correct "So we''ve reached a consensus and settled on it?" Lacus looked around and smiled brightly, "That''s great! Audrey is quite withdrawn and has few friends at school besides Hathaway. Although she didn''t say it, I can see that she actually likes Hathaway. I was afraid that if Ade and you quarreled, the two children would not be able to play together. Now it seems that I was just worrying too much." Correct Bright looked at Lacus''s innocent look and frown. He said to Ade in a serious manner, "Lingus, Lacus is a good girl, you should not let her continue to attend political meetings for you, the political circle is too dirty. You didn''t see the way those senators talk to her today, how can you bear to let her, a young girl, come to suffer this kind of aggravation?" Correct Lacus covered her mouth with a light smile as she blushed slightly, casting a grateful look at Bright. Correct "Look at me again, my wife was also an officer in the army, and I immediately let her retire from the military after I married her. If it weren''t for my wife, could Hathaway and his sister have been educated so well?" The more Bright talked, the more he got excited, "Audrey is too withdrawn, and I think that it''s because you and Lacus are too busy with work. Don''t you think so?" Correct "You are right." Ade kept nodding, "I am usually busy with work and lack of discipline for Audrey." Correct "That is, we adults are so busy and hardworking now, risking our lives to fight with politicians and angels, it''s for the future of our cherished ones! If you lose your attention to your little child, won''t all these efforts now be in vain? Besides¡ª" A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Bright shouted impatiently, "Come in!" Correct "Commander." The adjutant walked in with a serious look, "The casualty statistics came out, except for Senator Ronah who was successfully rescued back, the rest were all killed, in addition ¡­" Correct As he said, he looked at Ade and Lacus. Ade understood and took Lacus to stand up, "It''s late, Commander Bright, we''ll leave now. I''ll contact you later." Correct After saying goodbye to Bright, Lacus took Ade''s hand and walked towards the tarmac, the corner of her mouth couldn''t stop going up, "Ade, what a nostalgic feeling." Correct "Yeah." He and Lacus walked in silence with their fingers interlocked and their hearts warmed. Correct "It would be nice if this kind of day could last forever." When they came to TurnA''s feet, Lacus suddenly whispered in his ear, "Ade, I want it tonight." Correct "But my body¡­" Correct "Satisfying your wife is a basic duty of a man, right?" Lacus jumped in front of Ade with her hands behind her back. Her lustrous pink hair cascaded down from her slightly tilted head, blocking her sultry smile, "I have needs too. If you don''t want to use your lower body, I''ll find my own way." Correct "You''re finally back? So slow!" Hearing the voice, Ange peeked out from the cockpit above, with Alice lying on her shoulder, "What are you talking about?" Correct "Nothing." Lacus smiled briskly, "Ade was just thinking about what to eat tonight." CH 193 Chapter 193:tYesterday''s Reappearance 0 Correct "Stoptit, youttwo."

Correct "Don''t think too hard." Loran said in as relaxed a tone as possible, "Anyway, the department you''re in has been rather idle lately, so think of it as a regular part-time job and get some extra income." Correct Of course he understands what Prince Loran means, he would not be sitting in this place at the moment if it wasn''t for money. Correct Unlock this chapter. Originally, with Anaheim''s salary and Dr. Lingus'' bonus for Celestial Being, he and Cagalli were living quite well. Correct But the problem occurred faster than anyone could have imagined, when two new lives joined the family, the original spacious house suddenly became cramped. No matter what he wanted to do in the house, he was tied down. Correct "Hmm, Kira, why don''t we sell this house and apply for a bigger low-cost apartment?" Cagalli knowledgeably suggested as much to him. Correct He knew that Cagalli had a point, and that he could easily get a larger low-cost house with his current status, which was a basic national policy that the Lunar government had always promoted. But he couldn''t help but ask himself, do they have to go back to the years of renting? Cagalli had already lost her country, should she lose her only house too? Correct So he made an impulsive choice for the second time in his life - to sell his house for a bigger one, and that was the beginning of all the nightmares. Correct The moon, due to its scarcity of land and perfect welfare, the high price of land is second to none in the entire human society. Correct Kira spent all the proceeds from the sale of the house, put up all his savings, and even sold Akatsuki to save enough for a down payment on a three-bedroom house, while Kira had still to support his family while paying the mortgage. Cagalli also thought about going out to find something to do to help the family, but when she did the math, she couldn''t earn as much as she could afford to hire a nanny to take care of the kids. Correct Kira is so stressed by the monthly mortgage payments that he reflexively gets numb when he sees a bank sign on the street, and the future is so dark when he thinks about how many decades it will take to pay off the loan. Correct However, this is not the end. What will happen when the children grow up? Kira''s original plan was to send the two children to Anaheim Elementary School, Anaheim Middle School, and finally Capital University, but the astronomical school fees are simply too much to them. Even with Dr. Lingus''s help, they get a great number of fee waivers, the huge tuition fees of each semester are still too much. Correct Even in the face of Amuro''s F91, he could try to fight Amuro and he thought that he even had a chance to win, but only the bank was one of the things he couldn''t defeat in any case. Now he finally understood one thing: his heart and strength alone could not protect him from anything. Correct Cagalli also considered looking for Lacus''s help, but was refused by Kira. Kira is a good and decent young man, he thinks that although the Lingus family is rich, it has nothing to do with them. Besides, it was their own decision to take out a loan to buy a bigger house, there was no reason to bother Lacus insatiably. Correct So when Loran put the contract in front of him, the string of zeros on it makes his mouth dry and his heart pounds? The bad thing, however, was the non-disclosure agreement at the end of the contract, which required that he must keep it a secret to Lingus and his relatives, making him feel like betraying his friend. Correct "Your Highness Prince Loran," he asked, summoning up all his courage, "May I ask the reason why do we have to hide it from Dr. Lingus?" Correct Loran answered frankly, "If this issue is what you''re dwelling on, there is no need to worry. It''s not for any bad reason, it is just a temporary job requirement, and someone will also explain to you in detail after you sign the agreement." Correct "You and Doctor are very close friends, and the Doctor has said that he trusts you more than anyone else." Kira picked up the pen, "I ¡­ trust Doctor''s judgment." Correct "Oh? Did Ade say anything else like that?" Loran quickly turned around and pretended to look for something, lest Kira sees the uncontrollable curve of his mouth, "How did he talk to you about that?" Correct "It was after the final battle between Celestial Being and TITANS, when everyone was talking on the Iserlohn. We was talking about Kamille''s bad habit of not setting a password for his MS." Kira signed the contract, "Kamille said that there was no point in setting the password. If he told one person, everyone would all know eventually. So we discussed who is the most trustworthy person that won''t tell anyone else of your MS''s password." Correct "Quite an interesting topic." Loran asked carelessly, "Ad¡­ hey? Where''s my thing? Ah, found it here. Ok, what did everyone say?" Correct "Kou picked the Doctor, Kamille picked Shinn, Shinn picked Mayu, and I didn''t pick anyone because Cagalli is pretty confused sometimes." Kira smiled good-naturedly, "When it was the doctor''s turn, he hesitated for a while and finally said it was you. Kamille doubted if the Doctor was lying, and the Doctor swore that if he lied, he wouldn''t be able to find the right worldview forever." Correct Loran was silent for a long time, suddenly turned around and picked up the contract in front of Kira. The smile on his face was obviously as light as before, but somehow blinding Kira''s eyes, "This contract is mainly a promise. For the need of secrecy, we will not do complicated procedures, the execution is personally guaranteed by me on behalf of the government. " Correct Kira was forced to lower his head by the radiant glow in the other party''s eyes, "I understand, no problem." Correct "Good then, let''s get going before Ade returns~" Loran put the contract away and walked towards the door with a light gait, "Let''s be quick, Dr. Aeolia is still waiting for us~" Correct Harry drove Loran and Kira into the underground, and the road curved around like a maze. Kira and Loran are not very familiar, so they didn''t talk on the way. Even so, he could see that Loran was in a particularly good mood. Correct They finally arrived at a place that resembled an underground secret base, and Loran led Kira all the way through various security checks and eventually into a wide warehouse. As soon as he stepped inside, Kira was attracted by a chic-looking Gundam, and then noticed the old man and short-haired girl standing at the foot of the MS. Correct When they walked to the foot of the Gundam, the old man''s sharp eyes surveyed Kira through the lens, "Loran, I have no doubt about this man''s ability, but he is one of Lingus, right? Can we trust him?" Correct "I believe in Yamato-san''s character." Loran whispered to Kira, "And Mr. Yamato''s happy life with his wife and two children on the moon is not easy to come by, I believe he cherishes it." Correct Kira''s heart pounded, this was the image he envisioned of the ruler, the smiling look just now was really a false one. But it didn''t matter to him what Loran''s real character was. Since he had signed a confidentiality agreement, he wouldn''t leak any information to others. Correct "He stays, Loran, you can go." Aeolia waved his hand with a stern look on his face, "I trust your judgment, but I don''t trust you personally to keep it a secret, so the less you know, the better." Correct Laura smiled sardonically and turned to leave. Only after Loran was away, Aeolia looked at Kira again, "This Gundam in front of you is the MS you need to serve as a test pilot. I will not accompany the whole process, you will mainly be guided by this one beside me. Her name is Ayanami Rei, you two can get familiar with each other later." Correct Kira greeted Ayanami Rei, who ignored him expressionlessly. Correct "This MS exists as a secret weapon for the moon, it will be needed in the future to act as a strategic deterrent in case something goes wrong with TurnA." Aeolia continued to explain, "This explains why it was kept secret from Lingus, not because he was not trusted, but if the two machines were networked by the same system, it has no point to design and build a new MS." Correct Kira nodded in understanding. Such a statement made him feel almost guilt-free. Correct "This MS is temporarily named 00 Quanta, you will know its specific performance parameters when you do the test, there is nothing to explain." Aeolia paused, "I''m done, anything else you want to ask? If not, let''s get to work today, I''m going back to the lab." Correct "Dr. Aeolia, please wait a moment, I have one more question." Kira didn''t really see it when he entered the door, but from the angle below, he finally saw the full picture of this MS, "The barrel-shaped devices on the left shoulder and the back, are they ¡­GN-Drives? Is that the real reason why you want to hide it from Dr. Lingus?" Correct The air was quiet for a moment, and Aeolia slowly spoke, "Yes, they are GN-Drives." Correct Kira immediately retorted loudly in an agitated voice, "Even if you are the father of Coordinator, I must say that this anti-human thing is too much!" Correct "Listen." Aeolia looked solemn, "First of all, this thing is still driven by the LCLized NT, indeed inhumane, I admit. Secondly, it is now empty inside, and I''m not going to kill any NT, everything takes voluntary principle. Finally, the GN-Drive you see is my new and improved model, generating GN particles in a paInless way with double furnace resonance." Correct "Was it necessary to go this far?" Kira accepted this explanation, but still didn''t feel very comfortable in his heart. Correct "As you heard just now, 00 Quanta is an MS to replace TurnA in case of emergency, and all the technology that can be used will be used. But the double furnace system can not be practically verified, I am still adjusting the balance, so I don''t need you to test this function now." Aeolia slapped his palm, "There''s another thing I forgot to mention, the ¦Ë-drive testing will be done by Rei, you also don''t need to do it." Correct Kira looked at Ayanami Rei with a bewildered look, and then at Aeolia. Correct "I changed Lingus'' ¦Ë-drive and added the psycho-frame into it as a brain quantum wave amplifier. It works better, but it becomes necessary to be triggered by NT. You can''t activate it since you''re not NT." Aeolia sighed regretfully, "The most ideal pilot is actually the Innovator, which can activate ¦Ë-drive and further resonate with the furnace, but also will not be affected by emotions like NT, only he ¡­ ugh ¡­" Correct Kira continues to look at Aeolia confused. He has never even heard of what the Innovator is. Correct "By the way, are you interested?" Aeolia suddenly asked as if he remembered something, "Coordinators are all benign carriers of nanobot, the success rate of transformation is quite high. Do you want to become an Innovator to protect the world?" Correct Kira was still confused. The topic changed too fast that he didn''t understand a word he heard. Correct "Forget it, let''s not talk about it." Aeolia waved his hand again in a lukewarm manner, "I haven''t confirmed whether the Innovators will become prone to extremes, it''s too early to talk about it." Correct Kira took it in stride, "You''re right, let''s talk about it later." Correct "It''s getting late, you guys get to work." Aeolia sullenly turned around and slowly left, his hunched back looking mournful and inexplicable, "Rei, I''ll leave the back to you." Correct Next, Kira aboard the MS and started the test. Opening the skylight of the warehouse, he realized that he was already in the suburbs. He also tried to talk politely with Ayanami Rei, but the other party didn''t say a word except for the necessary work exchange. Correct The test work lasted until the afternoon of lunar time, and the performance of the MS was so good that Kira was amazed. He couldn''t imagine how powerful it would end up being if the two GN-Drives were activated. But maybe it also depended on the strength of the NTs inside the GN-Drives? Correct When he returned home, it was already dark, and Kira, who felt the vibration in his pocket, took out his cell phone in front of his door. His pupils slightly dilated in the light of the screen - it was an Incoming SMS. Correct The moment he pushed open the door, he smelled food. Cagalli was cooking dinner. After greeting his wife, he went to play with the kids. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a fashion magazine spread out on the coffee table.

It may take some time to take effect, I will try to die before Ade comes back, otherwise, he will be very sad to see my death with his own eyes." Correct "You know?!" Lacus was shocked, "I obviously had taken the phone battery¡ª" Correct "It''s useless to unplug it, Alice is now a metal-based being, a mere battery won''t stop me." Alice weakly smiled, "Alice not only secretly monitored your phone, even including C.C.''s phone, and stupid Ange''s phone. In fact, I also monitored Ade''s phone, but I don''t know why I feel embarrassed and gave up." Correct "Feel embarrassed ¡­" Lacus was speechless. Correct She doesn''t really care about Alice''s monitoring, it is expected. If she had Alice''s technical strength, she will also monitor their phones. Correct "So hurry up and do it, while everyone is not paying attention." Alice said with a serious look, "You don''t know much about technology, Ade will not suspect you." Correct "But I don''t feel right." Lacus started pacing back and forth in the room, "There are too many suspicions, and I always feel like I''m being cheated by Ikari Yui." Correct "There is no problem, Alice is a party to it." The young girl lying on the bed looked at Lacus wandering back and forth, "What can be a problem?" Correct "First of all, this thing is not even necessarily true." Lacus put up a finger, "Since you have heard that, I will put it frankly. From beginning to end, in addition to the so-called recording, everything was told by Ikari Yui. I feel like she was forcing me to make a decision in this short period of time." Correct "It''s true." Alice said, "Alice has checked the records of the satellite, I''m sure that there is no problem." Correct "Secondly, this thing doesn''t really work." Lacus put up a second finger, "Even Ade and Dr. Aeolia didn''t make this thing, how could she make it so quick? If she is a genius, then what Ade and Dr. Aeolia are?" Correct "Alice can''t answer this question, but logically speaking, doesn''t it make no sense to give you something that doesn''t have any effect?" Correct "That brings us to the last question, what if it''s only partially effective, like if her purpose is to ¡­ target Ade." Lacus raised a third finger, "I never understand what that woman really wants, but I can''t rule out the possibility that she wants to use my hand to get rid of Ade for her own purposes." Correct "Alice thinks you might be too worried about Ade, leading to too much delusion." Alice has a rightful expression, "Ade has metal-based cells in the body, but due to his Geass, Alice can not control them at all. So don''t dwell on it, hurry up and give that thing to Alice, if you delay any longer, Ade will come back." Correct "Are you ¡­" Lacus hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to die? Don''t you have any fear?" Correct "Of course I''m scared!" Alice struggled to sit up, looking down at her hands, "In fact, I was not very afraid of death, then suddenly I feel that death is terrible. But, but, if Alice doesn''t die, Alice will give Ade trouble." Correct Lacus slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, silently looking at the young girl who was talking to herself, as if she just knows her for the first time. Correct "In fact, when Alice first came back, Alice was often unable to distinguish who she was. Ade saw the problem at the beginning and reminded Alice every day. But recently, my consciousness has become more and more blurred, and yesterday, I can''t even control my body well." Alice opened her five fingers in front of her eyes, "Alice has been with Ade for so long, but Alice can''t even use the first person to call herself." Correct "You can only strengthen your cognition by constantly shouting your own name¡­" For Alice has been using her own name to call herself, Lacus also long suspected that was not simply a behavior of playing cute. Now she got confirmation, but she was not happy at all. Correct "Alice recently often remembered the happy life on the home planet, and occasionally remembered the painful experience of wandering in the universe, and yesterday even recalled the days of looking for her father, but Alice''s ''life'' is clearly with Ade, that is Alice''s most precious thing!" Alice suddenly raised her head, "''I'' may not be Alice anymore, right?" Correct Lacus couldn''t answer that question. Correct "It must be a lie to say that there are no regrets, but there is nothing to regret." Alice''s eyes gradually light up firmly, "Alice had a friend, the only friend, the name will not tell you. She, on the other hand, told Alice a very important truth, that is, in order to let the person I like to live, sacrifice myself is also necessary." Correct "It is probably redundant to ask such things nowadays." Lacus said softly, "Do you like Ade?" Correct "Alice, no, ''I'' like Ade!" Alice''s cheeks showed slightly silvery dimples, "So please kill me!" Correct "Stand up for young girls when they are most vulnerable, become the pillar of their hearts, and then the little girls will beg to die for him. Ange is like this, you are also like this, I also ¡­ he is really a terrible man." Lacus held Alice''s small hand, "From today on, welcome to the Lingus family." Correct "Thank you for recognizing Alice." Alice''s smile became more and more forced, "But Alice probably won''t live long." Correct "It''s this kind of plot again." Lacus leaned in with a long sigh, "On me, on C.C., on you, around all Ade''s close ones, repeated over and over again, tormenting him, tormenting us nonstop." Correct "Hmm?" Alice inclined her head, "What are you talking about?" Correct "I''m sorry, Alice." Lacus stood up, took two steps backwards, "I refuse to cooperate with you." Correct "Hey?" Alice''s eyes went wide, "Why, why? What if Alice hurts Ade afterward if you don''t kill Alice now? Lacus, you don''t want to see that happen either, right? So hurry up and kill Alice while Ade is not back!" Correct "Ade rushed back to the laboratory, and forgot to explain the details. We all subconsciously felt that it was useless and intended to make a decision for him. In order not to hurt him, so you had to die, in order not to make him feel guilty, so you had to hide it from him. Don''t you see the trick behind it yet?" Lacus narrowed her eyes, "An elaborate coincidence that gave everyone the worst possible ending." Correct Miss Music Player looked at Lacus blankly, "Alice doesn''t understand." Correct "Does Ade really have no way to solve your problem? I can''t believe the man I like is so foolish. I didn''t ask him because I have to hide the fact that I have a connection with Ikari Yui, and that may cause a big mistake." Lacus looked serious, "I guess, since Ade won''t have a problem because of his Guess, then Ikari Yui''s target must be you. She wants to wipe you out as an unstable factor." Correct Miss Music Player completely forgot about the sad emotion just now, only felt that her head was going to be down if she continued to listen. Correct "Ade said that you would be fine with some medicine, when he left, he didn''t look panic, and Ikari Yui just implied to me that Ade would not show panic in front of us." Lacus pulled out the small bottle in her pocket, "The most reasonable explanation is that this ''virus'' in my hand is the medicine in Ade''s mouth, a countermeasure he made after learning about your situation." Correct "Was Ade the one who did that?" Alice asked weakly, "So, did Ade try to kill Alice?" Correct "He could even stand still to let C.C. stab him, how could he do that to you? You don''t even know how cute you are." Lacus laughed helplessly, "According to this line of thought, you will certainly die if you use it directly, I''m afraid that you must perform some steps that only Ade knows before you use it, maybe it will reply on his Geass or something like that. Ikari Yui wants to lend my hand to get rid of you, and I wouldn''t be able to tell Ade the truth out of guilt, so she would never be suspected." Correct "So terrible ¡­," Alice could not help but shiver. Correct "I''m sure Ade will find a way, he''s not someone who would just sit there and see his woman die. Just like he saved me in the past, just like he saved all of us in the past, he''s still going to save you this time." Lacus shook the bottle in her hand, "Even though he''s occasionally late, let''s be patient." Correct "Lacus, what you said is too complicated for Alice to understand." The young girl''s head bobbed feebly, "So Alice just needs to believe that Ade will save me as he did before?" Correct "Yes, it might be difficult to think of a way to break the situation, but it''s actually incredibly simple to do." Lacus smiled and nodded, "Alice, let''s wait for him to come back together."

Ade whispered, "Also I''ve reinstalled TurnA''s operating system, now its authority is back in your hands, and ¡­" Correct "Stop saying that." Loran turned his back to Ade, "You know I don''t want to hear that." Correct "Although it is very sure, this time it''s too important, I am afraid that you don''t agree with it, so I simply do it in advance." Ade carefully bowed his head and made amends, "I''m sorry, I''m willing to be punished." Correct Unlock this chapter. "As my vassal, you secretly made such a big fuss, even overwritten Turn A''s operating system, and I knew nothing about it from the beginning to the end. Heh, willing to be punished?" Loran''s shoulders trembled slightly, and he shouted sternly, "Do you know that this is a crime against national security? You will be sentenced to life imprisonment, do you know?" Correct This was probably the first time Ade heard Loran speak in such a harsh tone, for a moment, he didn''t know how to reply. Correct "Why didn''t you discuss this with me beforehand?" Loran asked with a cold voice, "Do you think I will definitely object? Or do you think things are too big for me to trust? Are all the words you have spoken in person just words?" Correct Ade actually wanted to ask a question what exactly he had said, but now it is better not to ask, "I think there is a certain probability that you will oppose, but I will do it anyway, and then we are likely to quarrel. I don''t want you to be¡­ angry." Correct "So you are afraid that I am angry?" Loran gasped and laughed, "Then I can tell you clearly that I''m angry now." Correct For some reason, Ade suddenly felt that at this moment, Loran''s tone was like that of C.C., and suddenly felt a headache. Correct "You deliberately didn''t explain it in my office, and specifically waited until we are now back to the secret base. Do you think that I will be more accommodating here and will forgive you?" Loran said word by word, "I''m, angry, angry, angry!" Correct Ade could only close his mouth. He really had no experience and no way to coax Loran when he was angry. Correct "I ask you a few questions, you must answer truthfully, don''t lie to me." Loran had an almost inaudible "hmm" from behind, "Who else knew about this beforehand? Did you discuss it with C.C. and the others?" Correct "Rei, she was an important assistant in the development of the DG virus." Ade decisively chose to be honest, "Except for her, no one knows it. I didn''t tell C.C., Lacus, and Ange." Correct "So ah, well ¡­" Loran''s tone inexplicably moderated, "Anyway, this matter certainly can not be public, but this time, you make mistakes and you must be punished, so I can only punish you privately." Correct "Oh." Ade meekly nodded, "Then I accept the punishment." Correct "With your current situation, the punishment must make you feel pain, otherwise, it won''t work as a punishment and you might do it again next time." Loran was silent for about half a minute, "Then let''s fine." Correct "Huh?" Ade froze, "A fine?" Correct "I remember that Anaheim''s equity is in C.C.''s hands, the various copyright patents are supposed to be in Lacus''s hands, and you have to pay Ange, Mineva, and Momoka pocket money, right?" Loran turned his back on Ade and raised the corners of his mouth, "Don''t ask others for money, fill up all the closets in this house with your own secret money." Correct Ade was speechless for a moment. Correct "Speak up, is there any displeasure with my punishment? You''re not happy with a little punishment?" Loran turned around and looked at Ade with a red face in anger, "Don''t you want to accept it?" Correct It took Ade three seconds to dawn on himself and nodded desperately like a woodpecker, "Accept, accept, I accept the penalty. The penalty is too painful for me, but I will definitely pay the penalty in full." Correct "Attitude is good." Loran''s puffy cheeks were still a little red, "There''s something else I was going to discuss with you, but since you made such a big mistake, I decided not to discuss with you and shoot the board myself." Correct "I don''t have a problem with that." Ade hesitated and asked tentatively, "So what is it?" Correct "I''m still angry and don''t want to tell you." Loran hesitated, "Here''s a hint, this year is the tenth anniversary of something. You have one chance to guess, guess right and I promise you I won''t be angry anymore." Correct Ade replied without hesitation, "It''s the tenth anniversary of our meeting." Correct Loran stared straight into his clear pupils in a daze and froze for a long time before he whispered, "You guessed wrong, but I''m not angry anymore." Correct "Good, good." Ade shamelessly moved his position next to Loran, allowing the two to sit closer, "So what do you plan to do for your tenth anniversary?" Correct "This year is the tenth anniversary of the first Gundam project, Diana and I have discussed it and plan to issue a commemorative coin with your avatar on it, I was going to discuss with you about the image on it." Loran showed a mischievous smile, "I''ve decided on the fly, let''s use the image from the time we first met." Correct "Back then? Wait, I was only a teenager back then? What kind of lifelong shame is this?" Ade looked a little flustered, "I object!" Correct Laura stood up and stretched his body comfortably, and said briskly in a playful tone, "Opposition is invalid. You just wait for a hundred years later, the Internet, textbooks, history books are full of your image in junior high school ~" Correct The hazy light hit Ade''s face through Loran''s slightly transparent white dress, making the latter''s eyes involuntarily move up and down with the former''s drastic movements. Correct Loran felt the grin stab at his body with a helpless smile, "Stop thinking nonsense, I am taking you as a friend." Correct "Even if you are the prince, you can''t stain my innocence out of thin air. I, Adrien Lingus, definitely didn''t think wildly." Ade said with a serious look, "We are very normal friendships." Correct "Yeah, a very normal¡­," Loran sat down next to him, "¡­ relationship. " Correct "This time, I plan to take DX with me to Earth, kill all angels once and for all." Ade stared intently at a grain on the wooden floor, "DX''s firepower should be enough to deal with them." Correct "Hmm." Loran softly whispered, "Come back early, I''ll wait for you." Correct ¡­ Correct Three days later, on a special plane from the moon to Lhasa. Correct Garrod and Tiffa sit side by side across from Ade, and Garrod said in a despondent tone, "Doctor, in fact, we simply don''t need to come together, right? You can also drive DX, and your NT ability is even stronger than Tiffa, what''s the meaning to ask us to go to Earth together?" Correct "The point is that you are paid as DX''s pilot, it is your contracted duty and you must fulfill it." Ade replied, "If you don''t care about the high liquidated damages, you can stay on the moon with Tiffa." Correct "Tsk, the evil capital and hypocritical contract kidnapped me, when will the real free kingdom be realized?" Garrod sighed in an old-fashioned way, "Tiffa, this is the cruel adult world, and we can only struggle to live in this cold world." Correct "That''s enough." Ade looked over at Tiffa, "He''s too noisy, can you think of something?" Correct Tiffa gave an apologetic smile and gently tugged on the sleeve of the boy beside her, "Garrod, let''s change seats." Correct Garrod exhaled a long breath of relief, led Tiffa to get up and walked to the corner at the other end of the special plane. Correct C.C., sitting on the right side, gave Ade a glance, "You''re willing to let the little girl go? Why don''t you chat a little longer? Oh yes, NT can chat inside the brain." Correct "What are you talking about?" Ade decisively grabbed C.C.''s left hand and closed it between his own palms, "I only want to talk more with you. It''s not easy to get rid of the two kids." Correct "Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter." C.C. raised her eyebrows, "Tsk, when you were a kid, you were so cute, but now¡­ ugh ¡­" Correct "Can you not always mention my childhood things?" Ade misplaced his gaze in embarrassment, "Only the older¡­ will often¡­ uh¡­ ¡­" Correct "Only the older will often do what?" C.C. said expressionlessly, "Go on, I''m listening, only the older ones will, hum?" Correct "Actually, ah, your style of dressing can be a little more mature," Ade coughed, "Otherwise, I always tend to confuse you with Momoka if I don''t look at the hair, and it would be embarrassing if confuse you with Mineva a few years later." Correct C.C. puffed out a laugh and laughed happily for a while before saying, "What makes you take me out instead of Ange?" Correct "Because these messy things are almost coming to an end. After the angels are solved, there are no more external enemies." Ade scratched her soft palm, "I started this part of my life with you, so I want to end it with you too. It has some sort of symbolic meaning for me." Correct "Very well." C.C. leaned her head on his shoulder, her long, slender hair scraping against his neck, "Any future aspirations? We have long days ahead of us, we can''t keep living for the purpose of saving humanity, can we?" Correct "I quite like everyone, and I quite like this world, so I hope that my friends and people I know well will live happily." Ade replied out of breath, "And that the family is harmonious and don''t quarrel." Correct "I think the latter one is the point, right?" C.C. pinched Ade with her sharp nails, "Actually, we should have gotten used to it, there is nothing to fight about. But you are complacent, huh?" Correct Ade was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Thank you." Correct C.C.''s heart was suddenly moved. She looked up for a moment, came to his ear and whispered, "Let''s do it." Correct "How did the topic jump to this?" Ade could not help but jaw, "First, we are still on the ship; second, Tiffa and Garrod are still at that end; third, what if the steward comes over?" Correct "The steward won''t come in this cabin, the two kids whispering at that end won''t come over either, I don''t see any problem." C.C. said, leaning down, "Good boy, don''t move." Correct A few hours later, the special plane landed smoothly at the Lassa base, and Commander Bright Noa was there to receive Dr. Lingus and his party in person. Commander Noa expressed his concern and greetings to the accompanying personnel on the lunar side, and he said kindly to Dr. Lingus ¡ª Correct "Lingus, are they both okay? They look pretty bad." Correct "I have no problem." Tiffa said with a red face, "No problem, really." Correct Ade gave C.C. a covert stare, and C.C. snickered disdainfully, then blinked her big eyes with an innocent look, pretending she was a teenage innocent girl. Correct "Doctor, I might not be able to make it." Garrod looked pale, "I have a headache, I panic, my chest is tight, want to vomit, and very difficult to breathe. I probably will not last long. I want to entrust Tiffa, Tiffa to¡­, uh no, Tiffa can''t be entrusted to you." Correct Ade ignored Garrod and slapped himself hard on the head, "Oops, I completely forgot about the whole altitude sickness thing." Correct "Lingus, did you just say he was DX''s pilot?" Bright gestured to Garrod and said unhurriedly, "It''s okay, you''ll get better soon with some oxygen and medication. Besides, you''ve only just arrived in Lhasa and haven''t done anything yet, the angel can''t just show up now, right? That would be too much of a coincidence¡ª" Correct "Shut up!" Ade ignored any diplomatic etiquette and interrupted Bright loudly while reaching out his right hand to cover Bright''s mouth. Correct However, it was already too late. A sharp consciousness from the endless other side pierced his spirit directly. The sludge of memory gushed out from the depths of the well of the soul with the hot breath of self-doubt, and he lost all movement before he activated his Geass. The sharp pain in his brain made him want to faint immediately. Correct "Ade?" C.C. was the first to notice his abnormality and nervously helped him with his arm, "What''s wrong with you?" Correct "Ade?" Another voice rang out in his consciousness, "Dad is gone! Everyone''s been killed! You''re obviously not even Lilin, why did you do it? Why!"

Bright asked, "You look terrible, do you need to go to the infirmary to rest?" Correct Ade was reticent for a moment, and collapsed weakly to the side, and was quickly held in the arms by C.C. What caught C.C.''s eyes was a face so white that it was bloodless, with vacant eyes that lost focus, and the muscles of the face twitching slightly from the pain. Correct "Ade? Ade!" C.C. called out his name in a panic, "What''s wrong with you?" Correct Unlock this chapter. Ade struggled to focus his pupils on the worried face in front of him, struggled and let out a few low and meaningless hisses before not responding anymore. Correct "Anyway, let''s call the doctor first." Bright said calmly while picking up the phone on the table, "Ms. C.C., do you have any clue as to what Lingus looks like now? Or does he have any medical history? Should I contact Lacus first?" Correct Only Lacus was Ade''s nominal real wife, and C.C. knew very well that in the minds of the vast majority of people she was only one of Ade''s many lovers, so it made sense that Bright would ask if she wanted to contact Lacus. But now she has no room to focus on such trivial issues. Correct "It''s the angel''s attack." She said categorically, "It must be the angel''s attack." Correct Ade''s life form can no longer be considered human at all, all existing human diseases are impossible to cause any harm to Ade, and the only ones that can harm him are the angels. Correct "Angel? I have received no reports from my men, which means that the presence of the angel has not been observed in the entire alert range of the Lassa base, unless ¡­" Bright pondered for a moment and dialed a certain number, "It''s me, Bright Noa. Immediately conduct an all-round enemy search, I want the results immediately." Correct C.C., who was quietly waiting for the result, sat down with Ade in her arms and let him take a more comfortable position to lean on her arms, while using her valuable sleeve to gently wipe up the fine beads of sweat seeping from Ade''s forehead. Correct "Miss C.C.." Tiffa''s sweet voice made her look up and a clean white handkerchief was placed in front of her eyes, "Please use this." Correct C.C. hesitantly reached out and took it, "Thank you." Correct Every second that followed felt like torture, anxiety mixed with a sense of powerlessness slowly seeping in. She couldn''t help but think a little demoralizingly, if it was Lacus, maybe she had already thought of a countermeasure, right? Correct "Found it, it''s the Fifteenth Angel Arael, in the satellite orbit." Bright finally hung up the phone, "I have notified the Lunar side, Prince Loran said that he will immediately send out TurnA, hoping that our side will cooperate with his synchronized action." Correct "I''ll ¡­ do it ¡­" Garrod gasped and held up his hands, looking as if he would collapse at any moment, "According to the Doctor''s ¡­ original plan ¡­ orbit is ¡­ using ¡­DX¡­ ¡­" Correct "Don''t play with Ade''s life." C.C. interrupted Garrod with an icy voice and turned her head to Bright, "I grant you temporary access to DX on behalf of Ade, is there a working ACE on the Lassa side?" Correct "ACE for sure, but sniping at this distance¡­ is too much ¡­" Bright frowned, "Or have Amuro in Dakar head immediately to the nearest Mass Driver? But cosmic warfare in satellite orbit is too easy to fall into gravitational range again, let me think again¡­ how could it have run into the satellite orbit, this is a real problem ¡­" Correct "No time to think about it." C.C. felt the body shivering in her arms and took a deep breath, "I''ll do it." Correct "Huh?" Bright froze for a moment, "This, Ms. C.C., I remember that you are Lingus'' equity agent, right? No, I understand your relationship with him, nothing more, but this ¡­" Correct "Just understand my relationship with him." C.C. assisted Ade to stand up, "I have also learned MS driving, and you can call me an ACE. Inform the whole preparation class to prepare for the attack, you don''t need to care about anything else." Correct Bright looked at Ade, who was tormented by the pain, and said worriedly, "I have no right to dispose of the MS of the moon, so I will take care of Lingus, right?" Correct C.C. looked at the dazed Garrod, and then at the tender and powerless Tiffa, and secretly regretted why they had not brought Ange out. She couldn''t just leave Ade in the hands of a man she didn''t trust. Correct "I''m with him." C.C. said austerely, "Established matter, not negotiable." Correct A few minutes later, the DX Gundam stood on a flat hill somewhere near the Lassa base. The twin-tube microwave cannon was being set up on its shoulders, and the small golden wings sticking out from various parts of its fuselage was not glowing, symbolizing that the moonlight cannon had not yet finished charging. Correct The satellite image captured from Bright''s side was being displayed on the main screen inside the cockpit, a creature shaped like a large bird with a dazzling white light emitting around it, making it hard to see exactly what it looked like. Correct "Calling DX, this is TurnA," the communication voice rang out, "I really can''t break through its AT field after all, even the maximum output of TurnA''s beam rifle won''t work." Correct "Loran?" C.C. exclaimed, "You came here yourself?" Correct "Yeah," On the speaker was Loran''s eager voice, "How is Ade?" Correct "His expression is painful, the consciousness remains blurred, and the body is in intermittent spasms." C.C. held Ade''s hand, her upper teeth biting her lower lip tightly, "But he''s such a powerful NT, he should be fine, right?" Correct "The doctor said ¡­ that the stronger the NT ability, the greater the damage suffered in the face of a mental attack. I don''t know how long he can hold out." A muffled sound came from Loran''s side, which seemed to be the sound of slapping something hard, "Why TurnA can''t do anything about it either?!" Correct "Because these things are evolving, the dead ones will send messages to the ones that aren''t dead, the later they come out, the more resistant they are to particle beam weapons, and I''m afraid they will be resistant to NT ¡­" C.C. paused, "I got the coordinates, ready to snipe. Quiet." Correct "The position of the Fifteenth Angel Arael is not out of the predicted orbit, you can snipe." Loran shuddered, "Then Ade''s safety is entrusted to ¡­" Correct "I save my man''s life, I don''t need you to entrust it to me." C.C. said coldly, "Who do you think you''re talking to?" Correct Sniping at this distance, all that can be relied on for the pilot is mental calculation and experience. C.C. had no experience with it, but fortunately, she had a body that wouldn''t get hurt. Correct "Lillith, I want to thank you for giving me this body." She thought silently, "If my man can be safe and sound, let''s make a special place in the fridge for you when we get back so you don''t have to squeeze in with the drinks." Correct "Before I met you, my world was dead. Before I met you, my time was stopped." Correct Time flowed in silence as the Moonlight Cannon finally recharged and the small wings on the side of the fuselage began to glow with a dazzling golden light. Correct "It''s so difficult to find a reliable man, you said to accompany me to the end of time, I absolutely will not allow you to exit early." Correct The pale white hexagon swirled and floated down from the sky, before it touched the fuselage, it was heated and sublimated and turned into invisible vapor. Correct "Do you know why snow is white? It''s not some spectrum, some reflection, dummy, it''s because it''s waiting for you to color it." Correct DX stands quietly in the snow, two cannons pointing to the other side of the endless sky. Correct "Thank you, this time, it''s my turn to make you happy." Correct The white fingers gently bend, the particle torrent whistles out, and the roar resonates throughout the mountain.

The Fifteenth Angel Arael roughly flipped through Ade''s memories, not caring how much pain such an act would cause, "You''re not Lilin, you''re not even from this world, why would you even do such a thing! Everyone''s dying because of you!" Correct "I''m sorry, I didn''t have a choice." Correct "Your mom and dad don''t even like you, is that why you can''t understand how we feel about finding our dad? You have no brothers and sisters, so that''s why you can''t understand how I feel about losing my brothers? You went through a lot of hardship so you can have a happy life, but you were forced to start over in another world, so that''s why you want to destroy us to vent your anger?!" Correct "What you said was something in my previous life, now I like this world very much. And don''t look at them, I''m not Shikinami Asuka Rangur¨¥, it only makes me feel pain, nothing else." Correct Unlock this chapter. "''The people of this world are so funny, they have built Gundams, but they still have not gone to Jupiter, so stupid.'' What do you call this? Like? ''If I really can''t save this world, I''d immediately take my wives to another world. As for other humans, I can''t save them.'' What do you call this? Like?" Correct "Like the people around me, and save other humans by the way. I don''t know you guys well, so I have to sacrifice you." Correct "You call this liking? Ah, let me see, ''Didn''t Coordinators adjust their IQ? They must be a fool to buy houses on the moon'', ''Amuro wants to teach me what faithful love is? Laugh my ass off'', ''How dare he to pass around my r18 manga? Fine, I will never promote his wife!'', ''I wonder if his sister also likes him? It wouldn''t be interesting if his sister and Stella fought for him'', ''Loran ¡ª'' " Correct "What does it matter if you subconsciously think of these things?" Ade quickly interrupted it, "It does not affect my human interaction." Correct "Just think of them? What about this? ''Haman is very charming, doesn''t she want to find a man?'', ''The twins are so beautiful, forget it, I can''t do anything with them.'', ''Diana maintained a serious look all day, does she also look like that on the bed?'', ''If Lelouch didn''t exist, I have a feeling that Nunnally would like me.'', ''Tiffa¡ª''" Correct "I am not a saint, every man would have this kind of thoughts occasionally, ok?" Ade interrupted it again, "I didn''t really do them, what''s wrong with just thinking?" Correct "Sophistry, then are these also ''like''? ''C.C. is just like a psychopath,'' ''Lacus refuses to talk, what''s wrong with her?'' ''Alice is too extreme, maybe it would have been better if I adjusted her character earlier. '', ''Momoka is a dowry anyway, she will not resist even if I want her, right?'', ''Mineva¡ª'' ''" Correct "They are just extreme thoughts that happen to arise in extreme situations, I don''t even remember that I had these thoughts." Ade continued to interrupt, "I''m not an anime character, I''m not going to have a mental breakdown just because my dark thoughts were exposed. You should stop doing useless things." Correct "Liar! Liar! Badman! Acting like you''re good when you''re obviously evil inside! It''s because of you everyone died! It''s because of you that our father is missing! We can''t find our dad until you''re dead!" Arael growled, "Die! I''m going to kill you! Everyone will hunt you down!" Correct The spiritual shock came like a tidal wave, slapping Ade''s spirit in wave after wave. It was as if there were countless needles sticking inside the brain, and as if the brain was being smashed on an anvil, as if the entire consciousness would be torn to pieces in the next moment. In addition to feeling the pain, Ade no longer has any extra thoughts, and can not even think. Correct His NT ability at this moment became an amplifier of pain, and every second that passes is as long as an eternity. Ade is like a drowning man, he doesn''t know if he will drown in the next moment, can only hold on his blurred consciousness, waiting for the oxygen that may not come at all. Correct "Spiritual world, infinite time, infinite pain." This was his last thought, "Wrong anime, right? This isn''t even a Gundam worldview setting, this is like Infinite Tsukuyomi¡­" Correct He doesn''t know how many eternities passed, but a strong and tender consciousness finally found the battlefield and tiptoed around, trying to touch the battle, or torture, that was taking place. Her courage was admirable, but it was not her domain to interfere at all, and the slightest touch would undoubtedly pulverize her immediately. Correct So rightfully so, Ade pushed her out with all the strength, then he sank into the deepest darkness. Correct After another forever, just when he thought he was going to sink to the bottom of the darkness, all the pain was suddenly nowhere to be found, and even the consciousness of the angel could not be felt. Ade barely opened a thin slit between the upper and lower eyelids, a blurred figure close to the late. Correct "Tiffa?" Correct First, a cry of surprise entered the eardrums, followed by a touch on the arm. In the past, it would probably be described as severe pain, but now it doesn''t seem much different from kissing and touching. Correct "Give you one more chance." The cold, joyful voice said, "Depending on the answer, there is a certain probability that you will be stuffed into DX''s gun barrel." Correct "C.C. is my wife, she is so cute and adorable, I will smash anyone''s dog head if he dares to object to it." Ade said weakly, "Sniped with DX? I didn''t even know you were that good." Correct "Just found out?" C.C. grunted smugly, "I told you in U.C. 0084 that I could drive Gundam, and you said you believed it then. Now it seems that at that time, you only said you believed, but in your heart, you didn''t really believe?" Correct "U.C. 0084?" Ade tried to remember, "You still remember from that early time." Correct "My life is too long, so I regularly forget things that are useless, so that I can live easier. I will only engrave what is really important to me in my heart, and I will remember it for the rest of my life." C.C. suddenly lowered her volume and said, "Like every conversation with you." Correct Ade tenderly folded his left hand over her right and looked at the display and lamented, "It''s snowing again." Correct "Yeah, it''s snowing again." C.C. extended her left hand towards the white pixie on the main screen, "Ade, I''m liking snowflakes more and more now." Correct "Why do you say that?" Ade said as he poked his body out to manipulate something with one hand on DX''s interface. Correct "Looking at a snowflake makes me think of hope, I feel like it''s like a bond that connects us, the same way it did last time." C.C. dropped her outstretched arm and stared blankly at the man''s serious side, "Hmm, Ade, it''s pretty quiet in here, why don''t we do something?" Correct "Can it not be quiet?" Ade continued to press on the buttons without looking back, "You turned off all the devices that can make sound, The communication records are full of Loran''s messages, OK." Correct "It doesn''t matter, those have nothing to do with us." C.C. pouted playfully, "Do you think it''s easy for me to find a place to spend time for only us two?" Correct "My bad." Ade replied quickly, "By the way, C.C., did you know that DX''s seats are as morphable as Unicorn''s? But DX doesn''t have NT-D, the deformation is mainly used for anti-theft. If the pilot repeatedly enters the wrong password, the pilot will be fixed in the seat and can not move." Correct "Oh, this is the first time I know it." C.C. froze, and suddenly got alert, "Why do you say this?" Correct "Although the protagonist in the TV series always say ''I wish you can find new happiness in the future, as long as you remember me in your heart.''" The cockpit door slowly opened as the cold wind with broken snow poured in, "But if possible, I still selfishly hope that you don''t go to find other men in the future." Correct "Ade?" The suddenly deformed seat held C.C. in place. She struggled a few times but couldn''t get free, so she had to shout anxiously, "What are you doing, Ade?" Correct "DX is in its autopilot mode, and will untie you once it brings you near the base, and I''ve informed Bright." Ade showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I couldn''t figure out how to say goodbye, so I''ll probably have to miss the appointment." Correct "What exactly happened?" Tears came out from C.C.''s eyes, "Can''t we face it together? If we can''t, at least we can die together! I can''t live my life without you! Stop it, or I won''t forgive you!" Correct "Even just being sure that I did create good memories for you, it makes me feel that everything I''ve done so far was not in vain. You still have a long life, don''t always say sad things like ''my time is stopped'' and so on. There must be a way ahead if you don''t stop." Ade leaned over and placed a soft kiss on her lips, "Don''t stop." Correct After saying that, he jumped out of the cockpit and watched DX fly off into the distance under the control of the autopilot. At his feet, a huge circular black shadow about ten meters in diameter was growing larger and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. Correct "Long wait, the Twelfth Angel Leliel?" Ade helplessly closed his eyes, "Thanks for your cooperation." Correct A huge force from nowhere violently dragged him into the shadow, followed by a huge black and white sphere appeared out of nowhere above the shadow, and Adrien Lingus disappeared, as if he had never existed. Correct CH 199.2 "Why aretyou doingtthis kindtof thing?!"tThe FifteenthtAngel Araeltroughly flippedtthrough Ade''stmemories, nottcaring howtmuch paintsuch antact wouldtcause, "You''retnot Lilin,tyou''re notteven fromtthis world,twhy wouldtyou eventdo suchta thing!tEveryone''s dyingtbecause oftyou!" 0 Correct "I''m sorry,tI didn''tthave atchoice." 0 Correct "Your momtand dadtdon''t eventlike you,tis thattwhy youtcan''t understandthow wetfeel abouttfinding ourtdad?

Crap, the Villain Is Forced To Play the Role of the Heroine! . This novel is authorized and I can get money from its ebook sales. Wish me the best of luck! Because with more money, I can hire more translators to translate more interesting novels with me! Correct Chapter 200: The Light in the Storm Correct The sun had long gone down by the time the plane landed, and the sky was dark and unlit. When the plane had just landed, Amuro couldn''t wait to open the hatch and jump out of the plane, rushing all the way from the tarmac to the briefing room. Fortunately, he had been to Lhasa several times before and his body has long been accustomed to the environment here, otherwise, the few steps can make him lie on the bed for several days. Correct Unlock this chapter. The door to the briefing room was opened by him, and he gave his customary quick military salute, "Commander Bright, Amuro Ray reports to you ¡­ uh." Correct "There you are, sit down first." Standing by the door, Bright patted Amuro''s shoulder, not caring about the latter''s dazed appearance, "Wait until they come to a conclusion." Correct The commander was standing, how dare Amuro sit down? He stood upright at Bright''s side and took a good look at the briefing room. It didn''t take long for him to realize that only Bright and he in the briefing room are from the military, and the rest were all young and beautiful women. Correct Lacus in the seat was listening intently with her headphones on, while Ange and C.C. were sitting around, whispering something; Momoka was holding Audrey in silence, and the little girl''s sobbing look was heartbreaking; Alice, who had somehow lost her left hand, was sitting alone, staring at the ceiling. Correct Amuro basically knew all the women here, except for the young girl who was standing in the front of the briefing room in the speaker''s position. The girl with short blue hair was wearing a clean white coat, her crimson pupils were striking, and her powerful NT sense in his consciousness was dazzling. Correct "Commander," Amuro gently touched Bright''s arm, "Who is she?" Correct "Who?" Bright followed Amuro''s line of sight, "Oh, that is Miss Ayanami Rei, said to be the chief assistant of Lingus'' laboratory. She is now acting as a technical advisor." Correct "Ayanami Rei, Ade''s scientific assistant, and student." Almost at the same time, a cold voice rang out inside Amuro''s head, "Not his mistress, don''t compare me to those women over there." Correct Amuro was about to explain that he didn''t mean that, when a piercing female voice caught everyone''s attention, "Lacus, you''ve been listening to this recording for hours, did you find anything or not?!" Correct "Ange, calm down." C.C. said in a tired voice, "Let Lacus think." Correct "Calm down? Obviously he went out with you, and you come back alone as if nothing had happened, and now you''re telling me to calm down?" Ange said in a loud voice, "Ten hours have passed! Ten hours!" Correct C.C. bowed her head in pain, speechless. Correct "Ange, quiet." Lacus said sternly, "I can understand how you feel, but everyone is anxious. There''s no point in taking it out on C.C. The most important thing now is to figure out what''s going on." Correct "I ¡­!" Ange stomped her foot hard, "I''m sorry, C.C., I ¡­" Correct "No need to be sorry, it''s my fault." C.C. hugged her head helplessly, her long emerald green hair blocking her face, "It''s all because of me that I got into this." Correct Audrey gave C.C. an undisguised glare of hatred, showing an expression that was completely incompatible with her age, and the latter buried her head even lower in guilty. Correct Amuro looked at what was in front of him, not knowing what to say. Correct "As you can see, that''s it." Bright whispered, "It''s been ten hours since Lingus disappeared, and you should have seen it on the plane, the thing that swallowed him." Correct "Yes, I did see it." Amuro nodded, "The whole mountain area disappeared¡­" Correct When the plane was approaching the base, Amuro saw a huge black spot from afar, and only when it got closer did he see that it was a black, round shadow, at least 500 meters in diameter. The most bizarre thing was that the black shadow appeared to be on a completely smooth horizontal surface, while Amuro clearly remembered that there were several small hills before. Correct "At the request of the moon, the disappearance of Lingus is now under secrecy." Bright raised his chin, "Only the people in this room know. No news should get out until it is certain that he is alive or dead." Correct "¡­" Amuro had a bad feeling, "But I can''t feel Adrien at all anymore, it''s almost as if he doesn''t exist at all¡­ ¡­" Correct "Women over there, be quiet." Ayanami Rei, who had been working on the computer on stage, suddenly spoke up, "My research is finished, here''s the conclusion." Correct Lacus quickly took off her headphones and looked focused, while C.C. and Ange, who were talking, also shut their mouths and sat upright. Correct Ayanami Rei quickly fiddled with the notebook a few times, and a series of angel''s names appeared on the big screen, "Before describing the situation of the Twelfth Angel Leliel, we need to analyze the order of appearance of angels. The first thing that can be confirmed is that the angel''s order of appearance is purposeful." Correct The names of Gagiel, Sahaquiel, Iroul, and Kaworu Nagisa darkened on the screen. Correct "Leaving aside these few, the remaining angels all made their appearance with the NT as their enemy and appeared according to a progressive intensity." Ayanami Rei said and looked at Amuro and Audrey, "Ade once said that the NT is the direction of evolution that humans naturally choose in order to break free from Lillith''s grip, and can pose the greatest threat to angels, so angels'' strategy is crude but meaningful. " Correct The first thing that appeared on the screen was the Fourth Angel Shamshiel that looked like a squid, and Amuro was impressed by it. Correct "This featureless angel is cannon fodder destined for sacrifice, a castaway of the angel group, used to test the strength of human armament and the NT''s capabilities." Ayanami Rei switched out pictures while speaking, "After angels confirmed the substantial threat of NT, Ramiel was used to try the possibility of not being approached by NT, and the Fourteenth Angel Zerel was used to try the possibility of eliminating NT after being approached. Immediately afterward, they found out that they had been deceived and learned through some channel that the person behind it was Ade." Correct "The Thirteenth Angel Bardiel was used to try to indirectly solve Ade but failed, so after that, the angels tried to directly destroy Ade." On the screen finally appeared today''s two protagonists, "We were deceived by angels, thinking that they would only appear one by one. These two actually cooperate with the action. The Fifteenth Angel Arael targets the NT with a precise strike from orbit, blocking Ade''s ability to move and think, while the Twelfth Angel Leliel takes this opportunity to smuggle itself into the target location and fundamentally erase Ade''s existence." Correct "I see, that makes sense." Lacus said with a sudden realization, "Ade was NT, so he could spot angel immediately, and when he woke up, DX was probably just captured by the Twelfth Angel Leliel, and at that time, he probably found that DX couldn''t escape, that''s why he felt hopeless." Correct "But didn''t DX escape ¡­" C.C. suddenly froze, "Ah ¡­" Correct "Yeah, probably he told the angel ''let DX go, then I will not resist you,'' or something like that." Ange said in a sullen voice, "That''s the kind of person he is, always has been." Correct C.C. slumped helplessly on the table. Her pretty face was blocked by her long hair and arms, her shoulders twitched in a slight way, but she didn''t make any sound. Correct Ayanami Rei took a deep breath to continue, "Next, I will talk about the Twelfth Angel Leliel. We observed that its body is a diameter of about six hundred and eighty meters, and the surface is wrapped by a reverse AT field. That ball above is actually a shadow, we don''t need to pay attention to it. A-Laws'' military drones and probes could enter freely, but what was inside could not come out." Correct Ange held up her hand, "And where exactly is inside?" Correct "Inside is a passage that connects the Sea of Dirac, Void Space, the Quantum Realm, call it at you will. Throughout the ages, although it has changed countless names, it all refers to the same place. Some scholars even believe that it is the place where the souls of all intelligent beings return after death, but this claim cannot be proven or disproven." Ayanami Rei pointed to the black circle on the screen, "The body of the Twelfth Angel Leliel should be this passage itself." Correct "What about Ade?" C.C. raised her head and asked in a trembling voice, "What about Ade?" Correct "The Twelfth Angel Leliel has not moved so far, so I presume Ade should remain in the passage and not enter the Void Space." Ayanami Rei looked at Alice''s disappeared left arm with a complicated expression, "Thank Alice for the experimental materials, you go to Commander Bright later to put the recovered debris on yourself. Based on the corrosion level of the debris, Ade''s body can protect the LCL in his body for seventy-two hours at most." Correct Ange looked at the time quickly, "Only sixty-one hours and twenty-five minutes left, no more nonsense about unintelligible principles, just tell us what we can do to get Ade out?" Correct "Due to the presence of the reverse AT field, all actions from the outside cannot have an effect on the angel." Ayanami Rei tapped the keyboard and listed a whole screen of dense formulas, "There needs to be enough firepower to destroy it from the inside, when the stability of the AT field is affected, the huge pressure from the Void Space will make the channel collapse by itself, and Ade in it will have a certain chance to be thrown out." Correct Everyone couldn''t help but look pleased, and the emotion called hope brewed in the briefing room. Only Amuro calmly noticed the word "a certain chance". Since this Miss Ayanami Rei was not willing to say the exact number ¡­ the chance was probably so low that it was equivalent to a miracle. Correct "But." Ayanami Rei paused slightly, sadly watching the joy on everyone''s face slowly dissipate, "Angels have been adapting to particle beam weapons by changing the force structure of the AT field, we can''t break through its defense. As for detonating plural nukes inside it¡­ I thought about it, but Ade would also die, so it can only be the last resort." Correct The room was quiet for a moment, and then a neutral voice suddenly rang out from the corner, "How do you know if you don''t try?" Correct Amuro looked at the voice and was surprised, "Your Highness Loran, are you there?" Correct "How do you know if you don''t try?" Loran, who was hiding in the shadow of the corner all the time, stood up and stared firmly at Ayanami Rei, "Just because TurnA didn''t work on the Fifteenth Angel Arael doesn''t necessarily mean it won''t work on the Twelfth Angel Leliel. How do you know if you don''t try?" Correct "Loran, don''t deceive yourself." Ayanami Rei said softly, "Moonlight Butterfly is positioned as an environmental cleanup function, it doesn''t have that strong power. All of which Ade told me when he was alive ¡ª" Correct "What do you mean when he was alive?!" Loran growled, interrupting her, "How do you know if you don''t try?!" Correct "The structure of space inside is extremely special, and boson jumps are likely to fail, which means that if you go in, you''ll never get out. The moon cannot accept the loss of TurnA itself. I don''t want to lose him either, but ¡­" Ayanami Rei sighed and shook her head, "That''s all I can help, make up your own minds." Correct No matter how willing Loran is to save Ade, Diana is unlikely to agree to use TurnA to take the risk. Loran leaned down and hammered the table hard, and the tiny drops of water that had just fallen on it were shattered by the force of the recoil. Correct The bean-sized teardrops clattered out of Audrey''s eyes, but the little girl didn''t make any sound. Lacus frowned as she stared at the screen, trying to come up with a solution that didn''t exist. C.C. stared blankly at the ground, overwhelmed by self-recrimination and guilt. Alice was as quiet as a dead computer, not moving at all. Correct "You guys continue to grieve, I''ll go first. Momoka, you stay and take care of Audrey." Ange said, then stood up and walked straight to the door without looking at anyone. Only Amuro and Bright gave her a surprised look, but none of them had any intention of making a comment. Correct "I''m not an expert on this, but anyway, let''s start by trying. Time is short, and sitting here won''t help anything." Amuro was the first to break the silence and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Commander Bright, I''m asking for orders to go in with the Unicorn Gundam." Correct "Amuro?" Bright was startled, "But ¡­" Correct "Isn''t the point of calling me back? Besides, I''m an NT, it''s easier for me to find Adrien there." Amuro pretended to smile lightheartedly, "After going in, there will always be a way." Correct "But ¡­" Bright frowned nervously, "It''s no different from letting you die ¡­ " Correct "The duty of a warrior is to die, what really important is to die in the right place, in the right place. You are the best commander I have ever seen, surely you don''t need me to tell you this simple truth." Amuro said with a serious look, "Even if the Unicorn Gundam won''t work, I still want to give it a try. Your Highness Loran is right, how do you know if you don''t try?" Correct "Amuro¡­" Bright said with a nostalgic and emotional look in a daze, "Then give it a try." Correct ¡­ Correct Ade had been floating in this hellish place for an unknown amount of time. The concept of time and space seemed to have disappeared. No light, no sound, he can only feel that his body is being eroded little by little. When my human part is exposed, it will be the end, right? He silently thought so. Correct His NT intuition made him instinctively feel that this was not the so-called quantum field, but just a channel connecting there. Using the analogy of known knowledge, it was like the border of hell, the outer edge of purgatory. Although the Twelfth Angel Leliel pushed him countless times to the real quantum field, somehow, there was always an invisible repulsive force to keep him back. Correct Right now, the Twelfth Angel Leliel pushed him again and he had been bounced back again as usual. He could imagine that the Twelfth Angel Leliel was cursing unhappily with its pitiful vocabulary, but it had long been kicked out of the mind space chat room by Ade. Correct "Sure enough, you can''t get through either. I knew it." A voice that was too familiar to be heard rang out abruptly in Ade''s consciousness, "But how did you die so early? Were you stabbed to death by C.C. or were you beheaded by Lacus?" Correct CH 200 Chaptert200!

Ade couldn''t help but respond with surprise, "Didn''t you say farewell? Why did you come out again? Quickly return my touch to me!" Correct "Well, that doesn''t look very sad." Yang laughed casually, "You still haven''t answered my question, how exactly did you die? I think, it must be because of C.C. or Lacus, it certainly wouldn''t be because of my daughter, right?" Correct "You are wrong, I survived C.C. and Lacus." Ade smugly felt Yang''s envy, pausing for a moment before adding, "I was eaten by the Twelfth Angel Leliel." Correct Unlock this chapter. "The Twelfth Angel Leliel¡­," Jan lamented with dawning realization, "So I see." Correct "What do you see?" Ade asked in confusion, "I obviously watched you go back with them, but what''s your situation now? That end is Void Space, right? And what did you say just now? You can''t get through neither?" Correct "How to say it¡­" Yang was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "You know the existence of souls, and what you call Void Space is the final home of these souls. After we parted, I was guided into Void Space together with Ruri and the others to Void Space, and then¡­ I was ejected alone." Correct "You ¡­ were ejected alone?" Ade said in a daze, "From that time until now, you''ve been ¡­ alone in this hellhole?" Correct "Yeah, alone, relying on all the good and painful memories to stay sane and not fall into madness." Yang laughed helplessly, "In fact, my soul should be scattered, now it seems that the Twelfth Angel Leliel''s special nature allows me to survive." Correct "The soul should be scattered¡­" Ade repeated in a muttered voice. Correct "That is where their souls belong, this is their world, we are always outsiders." Yang said in a low voice, "No matter how much the appearance is disguised, no matter how much the heart has a sense of belonging, we are ¡­ alone after all." Correct "Then when the Twelfth Angel Leliel is gone ¡­" Correct "I will become ashes and nowhere to be found." Yang''s voice became a little hoarse, "I can''t help but think sometimes in these days, what if I didn''t transmigrate? Maybe I would have found a girlfriend in the original world?¡­ If only there was no transmigration. ¡­" Correct Ade suddenly remembered the pile of eerie white bones he saw in the moon, and the pistol by the white bones. How cruel and heartless is this world to him? Is it not even willing to give him a bit of warmth after his death? Correct "Don''t say such things, without you, there would be no me." Ade whispered, "Besides, if you regret your transmigration, won''t Teletha look like a fool ¡­" Correct "What kind of foolishness are you talking about?" Yang''s voice became more and more sullen, "You don''t know Teletha, what do you know about her, what do you know about me?" Correct "I really don''t know her, but she left something in TurnA and Alice found it." Ade opened his memories to this lonely soul without reservation, "See for yourself, heh." Correct There was no concept of time in the Twelfth Angel Leliel''s stomach, and after a long while, Ade''s mind resounded with Yang Wen-li''s feeble hissing, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Correct "Come on, stop cursing," Ade smiled, "Do not forget that in front of you is a super high level New Type, and the so-called New Type is able to improvise according to the actual situation to do whatever he wants. Let me try it, see if I can let you go over there and reunite with them." Solved Yang froze for a long time before asking dumbly, "What about you? Won''t your soul also disappear, just like me?" Correct "I''m not like you, even if I disappear here, I have nothing to regret. Lacus and Ange are very strong, C.C. should also be fine, I just feel sorry for Alice, and I''m also a little worried about Mineva." Ade said softly, "You and I are not the same, there may be someone waiting for you at that end, you need to go over there." Correct "But, but ¡­" Yang said breathlessly, "By the way, your body is still there, maybe you can still be saved, right? Don''t waste your mental energy on someone like me who is already dead anyway, what if you miss the opportunity because you consume too much to send me there? You want my daughter to be a widow? You bastard!" Correct "There is no concept of space in the Twelfth Angel Leliel''s body, it is impossible to come in and find me, and it is impossible to get out. I am absolutely impossible to be saved. Theoretically, Ayanami Rei should come over, and she should be very clear about this. I am afraid that she would come with a nuclear bomb." Ade said calmly, "Besides, according to the current rate of corrosion, my body will not last long. I didn''t hold any hope from the beginning." Correct "Let''s not pretend to be polite to each other¡­" Yang trembled and asked, "Can it really be done? I really can ¡­" Correct "Who knows if you don''t try? Since we can meet again, there must be a reason, at least, allow me to repay you a little." Ade suddenly changed the topic, "But before my body is completely corrupted, there is still quite a lot of time, why don''t we talk to pass the time, father-in-law?" Correct "What did you say? I misheard?" Yang''s jaw dropped, "Father-in-law? What the hell?!" Correct "I fucked your daughter, you are my father-in-law." Ade said sincerely, "Look, am I right?" Correct "You have a good point, I am speechless." Yang sneered, "The man with a harem is really different, hum?" Correct "I''m already the old me, and you are still the old you". Ade hummed in triumph, "By the way, there is a problem that I wanted to talk to you about, and then I forgot about it. Don''t you think it''s strange, everyone is inexplicably close to us." Correct "I don''t think so, relationships are developing naturally on my side." Yang said rightfully, "Except for Teletha and Ruri, there were so many other beautiful women, but none of them liked me. Never. I remember you said that you persuaded Shinn Asuka an afternoon? Guess how long it took me to persuade Chang Wufei?" Correct "Ugh?" This time it was Ade''s turn to freeze, "I thought we were, were the same?" Correct "Fuck off, who''s the same as you? Harem scum." Yang thought carefully, "Your world has Geass. Just guessing, would you have been cast a BUFF like ''be loved''? That''s why you are so fanatical about my daughter, because she is the only one who is not affected by the BUFF."

Lacus stood on the roof of the building, looking out into the distance, "Aren''t you NT? Did he say anything to you?" Correct "It''s nearly infinite inside, it''s impossible to find Ade, it''s lucky to get out alive." Ayanami Rei said expressionlessly, "Then he passed out, we can only wait for Captain Amuro to wake up to tell us the specific details." Correct The tattered Unicorn Gundam was now casually abandoned on the edge of a large black circular pit with a diameter of six hundred and eighty meters, like a broken iron block. The body''s legs, right arm, and head were missing, and from the section, it looked as if they had been violently wrenched off, while the remaining left arm looked like it had been forcibly broken into a strange shape by a child who didn''t cherish the model. Correct The surface armor of the MS was destroyed to almost nothing, and the severely deformed cockpit almost exposed the pilot in it completely. Only the thin green crystals on the fuselage silently told the reason why Amuro could come back alive. Correct Unlock this chapter. "As an NT, his mental power was too severely depleted. He may have to be bedridden for a few months at least, and in severe cases, it may take more than a year." Ayanami Rei said blandly, "There is no point in making a blind sacrifice. Other than losing a high-end combatant and making future battles between humans and angels more difficult, there is no point at it." Correct "Ikari Yui, have you ever really cared about anyone?" Lacus''s pupils abruptly lit up, "Except for the fake goodwill towards Ade that you deliberately exude from time to time to make people let down their guard against you." Correct "You''ve transformed yourself into an Innovator?!" Ayanami Rei was horrified, "When did that happen? Does Ade know?" Correct "Of course Ade knows. Is it convenient to continue answering my question?" Lacus watched in the distance as Amuro was carried to the emergency vehicle by the paramedics, "Amuro Ray was unconscious, Tiffa was so tired that she fell asleep, and now that there is no more NTs around here, there is no need for me to continue hiding. I''ve wanted to talk to you like this for a long time, after all, you''re too good at fooling people." Correct "Not pretending, if you need an answer." Ikari Yui said frankly, "Put his messy personal life aside, Ade is a funny and trustworthy person, and I have goodwill for him, both as a scholar and as an NT. But that''s all, there wasn''t any romantic element mixed in." Correct She was saying the truth. The unexpected answer made Lacus ask, "Then why are you acting so hardhearted? Don''t think I can''t see that you were planning to give up Ade and drop a nuclear bomb inside." Correct "Because this is the correct and rational judgment, it is impossible to find him even if we go in, and it is impossible to get out even if we find him." Ikari Yui closed her eyes sadly, "Even if a miracle did happen, the rest angels would go on looking for him until he was completely dead." Correct "Why?" Lacus stared straight at Ikari Yui, "Why do angels have such a deep hatred for him? What else are you hiding?" Correct "Don''t you think it''s strange?" Ikari Yui asked rhetorically, "All of us are inexplicably close to him, we have only known him for a short time, but we can talk to him naturally and fluently like old acquaintances. I have carefully investigated Ade''s life so far, and except for his early years, when he deliberately avoided all human interaction, all the people in his life followed this trajectory, including myself." Correct "What are you trying to say?" Lacus said coldly, "That my love for Ade was not of my own free will but was manipulated by some mysterious force? So I don''t have to be so sad even if he dies, and I don''t really love her anyway? Do I need to relay your theory to C.C. as well?" Correct "Wrong, your emotion is real, everyone''s is real and must be real, otherwise, the arrangement is meaningless. It''s the speed. That''s the problem." Ikari Yui said coldly, "In my own case, for example, I can clearly identify my kindness toward him, but by the time I had known him for a month, I felt that I had known him for almost a year." Correct "A year?" Lacus did occasionally get the illusion that she and Ade had been an old married couple for more than a decade, but she had always thought that was normal for lovers to have deep feelings for each other. Correct "Yes, a year." Ikari Yui nodded, "Even without this arrangement, your feelings for him would have reached the same level as it is now in ten or twenty years, but for some purpose, all the love and hate was accelerated. Commander Noa said that Scirocco extremely loathed Lingus, but even it was between NTs, such rapid dislike is not normal. His hate was fermented in advance." Correct "Lilith?" Lacus reacted instantly. Correct "Kaworu had said to me that he and Ade were very similar. After I confirmed the fact that my emotions had been accelerated, I understand. Lillith and I had made the exact same choice." Ikari Yui looked out at the dark shadows in the distance, "We are Lillith''s children, Ade''s body is Lillith''s creation, there is some kind of trickery in it that cannot be parsed with today''s technology, but she has undoubtedly done something to Ade, so that Ade''s genes cannot be cloned. " Correct "I don''t understand." Lacus shook her head, "Does that make any sense? The abomination doesn''t change, it just develops faster." Correct "You remember why I lost my body, right? It was just a perfectly normal effort by a mother to protect her child. To protect Shinji, I chose to make Kaworu Nagisa fall in love with the human race." Ikari Yui smiled gently, "Lillith must love her child as well, right? It''s not surprising for a mother to have such thoughts to her child, isn''t it?" Correct "Lillith loves human beings ¡­" Lacus thought of it carefully, "but she knows that she is powerless to save Lilin, so she chooses Ade, an outsider with infinite possibilities. Ade didn''t have Yang''s memory, he could start from scratch like a blank sheet of paper." Correct "Ade should be a very lonely person at the beginning, right?" Lacus nodded at Ikari Yui''s gaze, "It''s clear from reading his early papers that he was a man who lived completely in his own world. Although I have not dealt with that Dr. Yang, he must be more withdrawn than Ade, right? Lillith wanted Ade to save Lilin instead of becoming a new Dr. Yang, so that''s why she chose to make him feel the love of others faster, in order to make Ade fall in love with Lilin." Correct "So it''s not an accident that Ade would awaken as an NT?" Lacus thought down the line, "They all happen to serve the same purpose." Correct "That''s what I thought." Ikari Yui sighed, "Ade is Lillith''s handpicked savior, the Light of Lilin, the Son of Man. He must love Lilin, he must feel that Lilin loves him just as much, and this is Lillith''s scheme. And now all the angels know it, so they will hunt Ade¡­ until he dies." Correct "It''s really the same as your plan, should I praise you for having Lillith''s thinking?" Lacus''s eyes shone with a demonic glow, "By the way, thank you for your NT sense that allowed me to confirm one thing. Your actions do have a logic and principle, and that is Shinji-kun. Whether you chose was all for him, right? You acted so well last time, I almost got fooled by you." Correct Ikari Yui''s face turned cold, "What do you want?" Correct "I want the unabridged version of the Dead Sea Scrolls." Lacus stared at Ikari Yui unblinkingly, "Now that Charles is dead, only Nunnally, Aeolia, and Ade have the unabridged version, and you, as a common student of Aeolia and Ade, don''t tell me that you don''t have it." Correct "Dr. Aeolia and I have read it, and Ade has read it himself, and there''s no way to break the game on it." Ikari Yui sighed sadly, "I can understand you trying for Ade''s sake, but there''s no point, really." Correct "I don''t have to report to you the motives of my every action, it''s none of your business whether it makes sense or not, you just have to answer my questions." Lacus didn''t give up, "Yes, or no." Correct Ikari Yui turned around and left the rooftop in a big stride, leaving only the word "yes" unwillingly in Lacus''s consciousness. Correct Lacus silently turned off the glow in her eyes and took out her cell phone. Ange left a message a few hours ago, "Going back to my hometown to pay respect to my ancestors," and didn''t send a message after that. Correct "I''ll take the blame for everything."

Ange, who was wrapped tightly in her pilot''s suit, stood in front of one of the tombstones and looked at the three Chinese characters carved on its surface with a complicated look on her face. Correct "It seems that learning Chinese is good after all." She said to herself, "At least I can recognize my own father''s name." Correct There was no real point in coming here, just like her message to Lacus, she really came back to pay respect to her father. Ange was going to do something very dangerous, with a high chance of failure, and once she failed, there would be no second chance. So somehow, she was very eager to come back and see. Correct Unlock this chapter. "See, you don''t even know that you have a daughter, do you think you are too comfortable as a father?" Ange said and placed a handful of white flowers gently in front of the tomb, "So, you must bless me to get Ade back, otherwise, there will be no one cares about your daughter in the world." Correct "But the doctor didn''t like chrysanthemums much when he was alive." A young female voice suddenly sounded behind Ange, "To be precise, he didn''t like flowers much, nor did he distinguish the difference between various flowers." Correct Ange turned around in an alert stance, shocked to find a young blonde already standing silently behind her, and she was completely unaware of it. Correct The other party''s posture and demeanor gave her a very noble feeling, and the necklace on her chest was adorned with a gorgeous blood-colored gemstone, which glistened in the sunlight. Ange only took less than a second to determine that the other party was as royal as she was, or at least had been. Correct "Sorry to overhear you." The woman gave her an elegant slight bow, "Because there really aren''t many people here normally, I thought it was Chang Wufei who came back, so I come over to take a look. I didn''t expect to cause an unnecessary misunderstanding." Correct "You, you heard?" Ange''s face instantly turned red like a steamed lobster, "Daughter or something ¡­" Correct "I didn''t hear anything." The woman smiled and shook her head, extending her white right hand to Ange, "First time meeting, my name is Relena Peacecraft, a friend of Chang Wufei." Correct "An, Angelise Lingus." Ange swooned and shook hands with her, "You look familiar, have we met somewhere?" Correct "Yes, where have we met before?" Relena looked at her with a wry smile. Correct "Let me think. ¡­ I''ve definitely seen you before, there''s no way I can remember wrong." Ange frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly opened her round eyes and looked up and down at the other party, exclaiming in disbelief, "You, you are Ola? The oversized dragon?" Correct "Yes, that''s me." Relena smiled and nodded, "It''s a slight pity that you didn''t inherit the best part of him even though you''re obviously his daughter." Correct "You, you, you ¡­." Ange''s face turned hot red, "You just said you didn''t hear that!" Correct "Ah, did I? Maybe I''m getting older and my memory isn''t so good, I don''t remember anymore." Relena smiled, "Then, Angelise, just now I heard you say that your surname is Lingus, I guess it''s your husband''s name, right? Does Mr. Lingus know that you are the doctor''s daughter?" Correct "He, he, he knows, so, so what?" Ange said and waved her arms excitedly, "I seduced him first, he had nothing to do with it! He didn''t know about it until later, but he had no choice! If you want to say it, go ahead, I''m not afraid of you anyway! Ade will not be afraid of you either!" Correct "So he knows." Relena looked at the grave to the right of Yang''s tombstone, "If only the doctor was as brave as he was, if only Ruri was as brave as you are." Correct Hearing Relena''s sentimental tone, Ange also quieted. She instinctively felt that the other party had no ill will towards her. Correct "Although Chang Wufei stubbornly believes that Mr. Lingus is the Doctor''s reincarnation, maybe it''s a cultural difference, I never thought so. The Doctor is unique to me, to us, and there will be no substitute." Relena gave Ange a pleased smile, "It''s wonderful that the Doctor''s daughter has found happiness." Correct "Oh, thanks, thanks." Ange bowed her head honestly, "Ah, by the way, how did you become human? Weren''t you still a super big dragon the last time I saw you?" Correct "It''s a bit more complicated to explain, it''s a miracle brought about by the legacy of Little Chidori and the wisdom of Mr. Lingus. In general, I need to thank Mr. Lingus and his assistant." Relena said and stretched out her five fingers and flipped them in front of her eyes, "Although I lost my immortal form, there is nothing to pity, I really want to be a normal human. Besides, the person who killed me is missing, I''ll just have to go over and find him myself." Correct Ange had carefully studied the biography of Yang''s life and knew roughly what Relena was saying now, but didn''t know how to respond. Correct "I will live this life with dignity and finally go to him with pride, nothing to be sad about." Relena tossed her long hair spontaneously, "And what about you? And why are you making that face?" Correct "What look?" Ange asked inexplicably. Correct "The sad expression of intending to sacrifice your life for someone or something important." Relena sighed, "I''ve seen that look too many times in my life, but it didn''t end well for everyone, even the Doctor himself." Correct "Then this time it''s an exception. Luck is not hereditary, just because he can''t do it doesn''t mean I can''t do it." Ange whispered, "Ade was taken away, I have to get him back." Correct As Ange''s words fell, Relena burst out laughing. Ange couldn''t help but be dumbfounded. Correct "The Doctor has been taken away again, we have to get him back." Relena said with an uproarious laugh, "How many years, how many years, that I could hear that familiar line again." Correct Ange''s expression was getting darker and darker, and her body was gradually filled with a murderous aura. Correct Relena immediately put away the smile and said seriously, "Sorry, you''re in a hurry, right? Is there anything I can do to help?" Correct "No, you¡ª" Ange suddenly froze, "By the way, you and Grandpa Chang Wufei are my dad''s acquaintances, right?" Correct "Yes, I''m acquainted with the Doctor." Relena nodded, "But Chang Wufei knows the Doctor a little better." Correct "That''s just right, can you look at this for me?" Ange pulled out her phone from the pocket of her driving suit, opened the notepad, and handed it to the other party, "Look for any meme in there that you don''t know about, and if there are, please mark them in the front." Correct "No problem." Relena took the phone and looked at it, "Well? It''s all those unreadable bad taste of the doctor, what''s this?" Correct "Embryo said that Villkiss has an awesome mode, but it''s locked with a password by dad, so even he can''t guess it." Ange glanced at the small plane in the distance, "I''m trying to find the code." Correct "Villkiss?" Hearing the word, Relena shuddered reflexively, "Have things gotten so bad that you have to resort to that? Then won''t Mr. Lingus¡­" Correct "Not dead, but almost. That''s what the assistant in your mouth said." Ange sighed, "If my dad is confident that Embryo can never guess the right password, then it could only be one of his messes that no one can read. I sorted out all the similar things Ade had said, and if there were entries that didn''t appear in your world, then it could be the password." Correct There was a bit too much in the notepad and Relena looked at it for a while before handing the phone back to Ange, "Looked through them and there are indeed some I haven''t seen before. You really are the Doctor''s daughter, you can actually think of such a method!" Correct "But it''s too tiring to use my own brain, so I need to hurry up and get the person who thinks for me back." Ange took the phone to check the results, lowered her head, and sighed, "Grandpa Chang Wufei has seen all the memes you haven''t seen. I knew it couldn''t be so simple¡­ Ade may have tried them long ago." Solved "So what are you going to do about it?" Relena asked, "Forget it, I might have guessed the answer." Correct "Congratulations, your guess is correct. What else can I do? I can only just go there. I can''t just leave Ade behind, right?" Ange looked at her phone, "There''s not much time left, I have to get going right away. Uh, I''m glad I got to talk to my dad''s old friend today, bye." Correct "Hold on a second." Relena hesitated for a moment, looked down and took off the bloody gemstone necklace, took two steps forward, and put it on Ange''s neck. Ange didn''t know what the situation was and could only let her do it, "This amulet is a small token of my appreciation, since you are the Doctor''s daughter and Mr. Lingus'' lover, then I don''t think there should be anyone more suitable than you to take it." Correct Ange looked at the beautiful but somewhat bizarrely colored gemstone necklace and was a bit puzzled, but since it was a gift from her father''s friend, she had to accept it and thanked her. Correct After watching Ange board the blue Villkiss and the small plane rose into the air and disappeared, Relena knelt in front of the monument, put her hands together on her chest, and murmured, "Heero, brother, if you are in heaven, please bless them. We have experienced enough misfortune, let them at least be able to be happy." Correct ¡­ Correct "Miss Ayanami, the nuclear bomb is ready to be launched." Bright walked up to Ayanami Rei and asked, "Is it really necessary to have such a large explosion equivalent?" Solved "The required explosion equivalent has been repeatedly verified, and there will be no problem." Ayanami Rei said expressionlessly, "The nuclear bomb will be detonated inside the Twelfth Angel Leliel, so no matter how large it is, it will not cause any contamination, and what you are worried about cannot happen." Correct Hearing this, Bright finally breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and asked, "Miss Ayanami, I heard before that you''re a senior NT, I would like to ask when Amuro will probably wake up? He''s been in a coma for over two days." Correct "Not sure, but it won''t be less than a week, and he will lose his fighting ability for a long time even after waking up." Ayanami Rei looked at her watch, "Commander Noa, four hours and thirty-five minutes to go, please be ready." Correct "You''re too cold-blooded, Ikari!" C.C. on the side finally stood up, "Are you so impatient to drop a nuclear bomb inside to kill Ade?!" Correct "More than sixty-seven hours have passed since the incident, Ade has at least a ninety percent chance of being dead, it''s already my greatest tribute to him to wait until the last moment." Ayanami Rei said indifferently, "Also Ms. C.C., my name is Ayanami Rei, may I ask who Ikari is?" Correct "You!" C.C. slapped on the table, "I''ll go in myself!" Correct "There''s no way to let you drive TurnA in, and you can expect what will happen if you drive any other MS. Besides, this is A-Laws'' military base, not the moon, we have no right to use the Federation''s military MS," Ayanami Rei said calmly, "Or are you planning to jump in physically?" Correct "Commander Noa, how much does an MS cost?" C.C. looked at Bright, "I''ll buy it at a premium. Jegan, RGM-79GM, anything that moves!" Correct Bright looked awkwardly to his left and right. Correct "Sister C.C., don''t argue." Mineva, who was being held by Momoka, suddenly spoke up, "If you die, won''t Uncle Ade''s move seem pointless at all? Although I also think you should ¡­ but this kind of behavior is inexcusable." Correct Hearing Mineva''s words, C.C.''s aura instantly disappeared without a trace. She powerlessly lowered her head and stared dully at the ground. Mineva gave her a contemptuous look, broke away from Momoka''s arms, and walked to the window to silently look out at the large black pit in the distance. Correct Time passed in silence, and Ayanami Rei was like a messenger of death, chiming in every half hour to remind everyone present of the approaching end. Correct "Ninety minutes to go." Ayanami Rei finally reveals a humane expression, moving her eyes away from C.C.''s desperate face, "You should leave, or ¡­ don''t look at it. Leave yourself some not so cruel memories." Correct "Where is Ange?" Alice ignored her and asked aloud, "Where did the idiot Ange go at this time?" Correct Everyone then remembered that Alice didn''t have a cell phone, so she didn''t know where Ange went. Momoka was about to explain, a dazzling blue light in the sky outside caught everyone''s eyes. After the blue light, Villkiss in the form of a plane hovered silently right above the Twelfth Angel Leliel. Correct "That idiot!" Alice said discontentedly, "The angel can''t hear the radio, what are you yelling on the public channel?" Correct Bright opened the public channel and Ange''s voice sounded in the room, "¡­ warn you again, don''t make a dying struggle! As long as you release Ade, I promise to let go of you, otherwise, that dead fish over there is your example!" Correct "Idiot." Alice chanted again, "The angel can''t even hear you." Correct "That''s not for the angel to hear, Alice." C.C. closed her eyes and whispered, "It''s to embolden herself, Ange¡­ she must be very scared now ¡­" Correct "I''ve repeated many times, don''t you continue to be defiant!" Villkiss slightly tilted, flying into the dark sky at a high speed, "No matter what you are, an angel or something, I only say for the last time ¡ª give my man back!!!"

Unlike Unicorn, which is designed for fighting, it was designed as a dimensional exploration shuttle at the beginning. Falling into the Sea of Dirac may not be in its designer''s expectations, but it turns out that even Void Space cannot cause effective damage to Villkiss. Correct Ange had driven Villkiss in this hellish place for an hour. Correct It was dark all around, nothing could be seen, and her cockpit was the only light source in the whole space. Coupled with the disruption of the gravity field caused by the raging negative energy flow, the vast majority of Ange''s energy was wasted on controlling Villkiss. Correct Unlock this chapter. "So this is what happens when you rush in without thinking¡­" She tapped up the small screen directly in front of the cockpit in frustration, "IQ! I need IQ! Someone tell me what to do next¡­ oooh ah ah ah!" Correct Gravity suddenly reversed, and Villkiss was thrown far away by the energy flow, along with Ange in the cockpit. By the time she settled down and regained her balance, she didn''t know where she was anymore. Correct "Don''t talk as if I knew where I was before." She stretched her neck to look out into the black hole, "Nobody can''t tell where is this place, right? It has nothing to do with IQ anymore, right? Aaahhhh, Ade has so many women, but none of them is NT. I''m just a Norma, how can I find him here?!" Correct Ange looked at the time again, there was already less than half an hour left. She was not sure if the people outside would really throw a nuclear bomb inside, but in case it is true, Villkiss will protect her, but how about Ade? Even if he''s not dead yet, he''ll be killed by the nuclear bomb! Correct "Bastard!" Villkiss flew left and right in the turbulence, "Where the hell is it?!" Correct ¡­Ange¡­ Correct "Come out a villain for me to fight!" Ange hissed in annoyance, "Big fish, big bird, whatever! Aren''t angels all giant monsters? What the hell is this!" Correct Ange. Correct "For the first time I found someone I like, for the first time I met someone who really loves me, why did it get into this state? I even allow him to have a harem, do you know how much I suffered? Why did it turn out this way?" Correct Ange! Correct "Cheap dad, don''t inherit your bad luck to me! If my man and I die here today, it''s all your fault! I will not let you go even if I die! Correct "Ange!" Correct "What are you shouting for, I''m here!" Ange suddenly realized, "Ugh?" Correct The sunset slanted in through the glass, and the afterglow spread over Ange''s thighs, staining the hem of her pale white skirt with pale gold. She sat up from the seat and looked around blankly. The carriage was very quiet, and there was no sound of the train moving like in TV dramas. Correct Ange got up and walked to the corridor in the middle of the carriage and looked back and forth, finding no one in the carriage except for her. There was nothing written on the electronic screens above the ends of the carriage that were supposed to show the destination, nor was there any text on the backrests of the seats. Correct "Aren''t I on Villkiss? Where is this?" Ange subconsciously touched her body before she suddenly realized that the clothes she was wearing had changed, "Eh? My skirt?!" Correct "This is on the high-speed train." A mature male''s voice rang out not far behind Ange, "The clothes are chosen by your subconscious, as to why is this one, you have to ask yourself." Correct Ange took a defensive stance, turned around and stepped back sharply. In her field of vision appeared a middle-aged man with an oriental face, black hair, and black pupils. Without any reasoning or guessing, the correct answer came out of her mouth subconsciously, "Dad?" Correct "Yo, good girl." Yang smiled and nodded, "First time meeting, I''m your dad." Correct "Where is Ade? Have you met Ade? How am I going to find him? Do you know how to get out once I find him?" Ange asked a long list of questions in one breath before pausing, "By the way, aren''t you dead? Why are you here with me?" Correct "Four out of five questions are about you man, well ¡­" Yang breathlessly held his forehead with one hand, "Your blonde hair is not like me, your beauty look is not like me, your impatient personality is not like me, and from the logic of your questions, your IQ is also not like me. So, what have you inherited from me¡­" Correct "Cut the crap and answer the questions!" Ange unpleasantly waved her arm, "You have not done your duty as a father for a day, don''t lecture here!" Correct "Not even a touching father-daughter reunion, only yelling for your man. What exactly does that guy have to make my daughter willingly to be a member of his harem ¡­ I''m really puzzled." Yang smacked his lips, "I was full of gratitude to him just now, but why do I feel so unhappy now?" Correct "Yang! Wen! Li!" Ange''s trembling hands showed that her anger was about to get out of control, "Don''t think that just because you''re my father so I don''t dare to beat you up!" Correct "I''m a soul now, I just ran into him." Ange calmed down as soon as Yang opened his mouth, "Simply put, he forced me into the world of souls through his almighty and unscientific NT ability, and I''m in the process of sneaking into the Sea of Dirac." Solved "And where is this train?" Ange pursued, "Why am I on it too?" Correct "This high speed train probably symbolizes the journey of my heart ¡­ home, heh, and I''ve deceived myself enough for the rest of my life." Yang chuckled softly to himself, "And you? Probably you were not far away and thinking similar things like me, so our consciousness was rolled into the same soul space. Too much of a coincidence indeed, a miracle if you must comment it, right?" Correct "Ade is nearby!" That''s all Ange understood, "Get me out of here!" Correct "This is my soul space and his mind domain, and I don''t know how to get you out." Yang thought for a moment, "Although I''m not an NT, from a purely theoretical point of view, you''ll naturally get off when you arrive at the station." Correct "So when is the stop?" Under Ange''s angry gaze, Yang shrugged helplessly, "Ahhhhhhh! I''m in a hurry! You don''t know this, and you don''t know that, and you even have to rely on Ade after your death, can''t you be a little bit good, Dad!" Correct Yang casually found a seat, put down the plate on the seat in front of him, and frowned with his hand on his face, "My life is already a failure, listening to your words, I feel more frustrated¡­" Correct "Hey, dad, how about this." Ange sat down to the opposite side of Yang, "Do you have any awesome technology, the kind that even I can understand, that I can bring back to Ade? You see, the world is in danger, why don''t you help your daughter before going to that world? Isn''t that very good?" Correct "The married daughter helps her husband to ask her own father for benefits, that''s¡­" Yang sighed, "In this world exists the Sea of Dirac, and TurnA is able to be made by humans. These two facts are already priceless information. It''s just a matter of time for him to make Gunbuster, before that, my unsystematic knowledge will only be harmful to him." Solved "Trying to fool me again with something I can''t understand." Ange puffed out her cheeks unhappily, "Just won''t say anything useful? Tsk, niggard." Correct "I can''t feel any pleasure from being this father-in-law¡­" Yang tapped his fingertips on the dinner plate, "By the way, do you know Villkiss''s password? He seems to keep forgetting to ask, and I keep forgetting to say." Correct Ange''s big eyes lit up abruptly, "Father!" Correct "Don''t, just call me dad." Yang uncomfortably touched his neck, "The password is too shameful, I will read it once. Even if you can''t remember, I am determined not to read it a second time." Correct "It''s okay, I have a very good memory." Ange squeezed her fist, "If I really can''t remember it, I''ll figure it out. Anyway, Dad, you''re already dead, it''s impossible to die a second time, right?" Correct A few minutes later. Correct "That''s it, you have a good memory, daughter." Yang''s face awkwardly turned red, "Just shout out to the cockpit, I also ¡­ ahem, I also set the prompt with the BGM. If there is music when you are shouting, it means that you are shouting the right password." Correct "Too, too shameful!" Ange''s face also turned red, "You let me shout this in front of Ade? It''s even worse than that old pervert''s original singing!" Correct "You can just regard it as the chant before using magic." Yang pulled his throat and coughed dryly twice, "Well, almost to the station, you still have time to ask one question." Correct Hearing these words violently, Ange somehow felt a little inexplicable sense of loss and frozen in place. Correct "What are you dumbfounded about? Your husband is still waiting for you." Yang looked at Ange, "If you have someone you like, you need to seize him at all costs. The regret medicine doesn''t exist in this world, this is your unlucky father''s lifetime wisdom. That guy is honest on the outside, but he''s really amorous on the inside, so keep an eye on him, daughter!" Correct "I don''t need you to remind me!" Ange glared back, but after a glance, she looked away sheepishly, "Well, the last question. I was originally a princess, but because of you, I became an illegitimate child. My father distanced me, and my brother and sister hated me. But I don''t blame you, because, without you, there would be no me, and there would be no Ade. But you would not have known of my existence, and now that, um, after knowing, will you feel, uh, regret, or disappointment, or ¡­" Solved "Regret what? Disappointed in what? It''s not like I spent a penny to raise you." Yang laughed in Ange''s stunned gaze, he was laughing so hard that tears popped out, "My daughter is really too beautiful, simply a waste to let her marry anyone. Only by marrying Ade, another myself can give me slightly less heartache." Correct "Dad?" Correct "My life, the first half is like a funny cartoon, and the second half is like a tragedy. I''m probably a pathetic plaything of some screenwriter who was high on drugs." Yang continued with a tearful smile and said, "Only now did I realize that the only two fortunes for me are you and him. So you must be happy with him, got it?" Correct "Hmm." Ange huffed, "Got it." Correct "Oh, I should go to the station now, this time, I will really never come back. So ¡­" Yang smiled and nodded to Ange, "Farewell." Correct Before Ange could say the last word, her vision suddenly went black. When the light came on again, she found herself sitting in the cockpit intact in her pilot''s suit. Correct "Farewell," Ange whispered to the empty cockpit with her head down. Correct When she looked up, she was just in time to see a silvery-white, watermelon-sized spherical object floating less than two meters from Villkiss'' cockpit. Instinctively, she understood that this was what she was looking for. Correct There was no time to dwell on it, no time to feel emotional, grateful, or sad. I must catch it, no, catch him, before the next change in the direction of gravity! Correct "Ade!" Correct Almost at the same time as Villkiss accelerated, the turbulence of negative energy hit again, and Villkiss instantly rushed too away by the gravity field. The silver-white sphere was left behind in the blink of an eye. Correct "Ade!" Villkiss made a magnificent one hundred and eighty degree turn under Ade''s manipulation, "This time for sure!" Correct Villkiss accelerated violently towards the silver-white sphere. Ange held the joystick with a tight grip and kept fine-tuning the position. The energy turbulence relentlessly pounded the fuselage from all sides, trying to deflect it from its course, while Villkiss kept the angle right on the silver-white sphere. Correct Twenty meters to go, ten meters, five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter ¡­ now! Correct The moment Villkiss was about to hit the sphere, Ange quickly turned off the protective shield outside the cockpit, a silver stream of light accompanied by a violent gravity field crashed into her arms. The next instant, the protective shield reopened. Correct Ange spat a mouthful of blood on the surface of the sphere, and the silver-white shell glowed with a bloody luster. But she didn''t have time to pay attention to what bones she had just broken under the distorted strong gravity field and impact, she just held the sphere in her arms tightly and happily pressed her face to the surface of the sphere, chanting incessantly, "Found you ¡­ I finally found you ¡­" Correct It was like this for several minutes before Ange slowly let go of the sphere in her arms. Her left hand was completely incapacitated, and the mere slightest movement would cause a solid pain. She struggled to reach out her right hand to open the storage space in the cockpit and rummage through the first aid kit Ade had prepared for her. Correct "Painkillers, painkillers ¡­ have it." Ange poured a handful of painkillers into her mouth, took out a water bottle and sucked up a large mouthful of water, "Bandages, bandages ¡­ oooh uh!" Correct Another mouthful of blood sprayed on the sphere, Ange assumed that her internal organs were injured. But now in the Sea of Dirac, she couldn''t do anything. Correct "Stupid dad, ahem, do you have to set the password to some shouting? What if the pilot can not speak?" Ange gently stroked the silver sphere in her arms with her right hand, "Ade, let''s, cough, go home." Correct She took another half minute to gather her breath, praying by the way that the lines given by her dead dad were okay. Correct "It''s going on." Ange shouted, "Á÷ÅÉ!" (PS: the lines Ange shouted were from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, they are the lines of Domon Kasshu. I''m using the original Japanese text here. I haven''t watched this anime and it would be too painful to try to find the English translation from the anime series, especially when almost all the videos of G Gundam on youtube don''t have subtitles.) Correct Just as her words finished, a kind of dynamic music automatically blared in the cockpit. Ade might have recognized the tune if he were awake, but Ange didn''t recognize or have the effort to care about it. It had taken all her strength to keep herself from coughing up blood. Correct "¶«·½²»°Ü¤Ï?! ÍõÕߤηç¤è!" Correct The words "Space-Time Convergence Cannon" flashed on the display, and Villkiss'' body began to glow with golden light. Correct "È«ÐÂϵÁÐ !ÌìÆÆÏÀÂÒ!" Correct Both of the fuselage''s shoulders morphed, each revealing a hideous golden cannon muzzle. Correct "°³¤Î¤³¤ÎÊÖ¤«Õæ¤Ã³à¤£È¼¤¨¤ë ʤÀû¤ò¤Ä¤«¤á¤Èºä¤­½Ð¤Ö!" (My hand burns like bright red fire, it shouts for me to seize victory!) Correct Seven-colored streams of light converged from the darkness toward the cannon''s muzzle. Correct "±¬ÈÈ!" Correct The streams of light were almost compressed into a mottled energy entity under the effect of the invisible stance. Correct "¥´-¥È ¥Õ¥¤¥ó¥«-!!!"

Ayanami Rei slowly moved her eyes from her watch to Bright, "Commander Noa, please give your instructions." Correct "I will not allow it, no one can drop nuclear weapons inside the Twelfth Angel Leliel before Ade and Ange come out." C.C.''s face was as cold as frost, "Bright Noa, I now officially declare you kidnapped by me. Do not act rashly, I assure you I will move faster than you." Correct "Crazy woman." Ayanami Rei rubbed her forehead with her hand, "Don''t forget you are a major shareholder of Anaheim, think about yourself and the moon''s position before you speak." Correct Unlock this chapter. "The majority shareholder of Anaheim?" C.C. sneered, "Ade is gone, you think I would care about such things? Good, then I will now return all the shares to Loran, and cut off all relations with the moon. Alice" Correct "The communication in this room has been hijacked by me." Alice replied quickly, "I can forge all the external communications, it is useless to scream your throat." Correct In fact, Alice was also hacking the nuclear launcher, but C.C. wasn''t stupid enough to let Alice speak such words in public as well. The encryption protection of nuclear weapons is a bit troublesome, even with Alice''s technology, it will take some time to decipher it. Correct "That''s the truth, Commander Noa." C.C. gazed at Bright, "I don''t mind if you retaliate afterward, but Ade is my only, my all, and I''ll do anything for him." Correct "I can see your determination, Ms. C.C." Bright unhurriedly found a seat and sat down, "In fact, to be sincere, I also hope that Lingus can be saved, he is a rare and excellent ally for me. But it''s been three days, Miss Ayanami''s original advice was to give up now, since you have a different opinion, then please allow me to ask, when do we have to wait?" Correct "I don''t know." C.C. said without changing her expression, "Just wait." Correct Bright tried the communication device and found that it was not working, and grimaced in disbelief. Correct Seeing that the tense atmosphere had eased a little, Loran said, "Well, Commander Noa, I''ll take responsibility for C.C.''s comments¡ª" Correct "Loran! "C.C. unpleasantly interrupted him, "Are you deaf? I have said that we have been cut off all relations, I don''t need you to care about me." Correct "¡ª I will be responsible for C.C.''s remarks." Loran said to himself, "Threatening a high-ranking military official is an extremely bad behavior and a serious fault of the moon government, we will provide compensation to your satisfaction, and please don''t start reciprocal retaliation against her." Correct "Loran!" protested C.C. loudly, "This is the Lingus family''s business, who wants you to meddle in it?!" Correct Loran shook his head firmly: "There is no relationship with the shares of Anaheim, you are Ade''s woman, and Ade is my person, there is no such thing as severing ties." Correct "Okay, don''t make yourself look like Lingus'' righteous partners, if I retaliate later, won''t I become a villain?" Bright sighed self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am indeed not suitable to be any military big shot, I can''t be as cruel as Scirocco." Correct Loran''s eyes slightly opened and his eyebrows raised, "Then the thing C.C. said¡­?" Correct "The Twelfth Angel Leliel didn''t move further, maybe there are other changes inside, maybe her judgment is correct, let''s wait." Bright coughed, "Compensation is still needed, well, it''s still needed." Correct "That''s natural." Loran hastily agreed, "The compensation will bypass the Federation and go directly to A-Laws'' accounts, to your satisfaction." Correct Bright nodded and looked at C.C. in a complicated mood without speaking again. Correct C.C. looked out of breath at the Twelfth Angel Leliel. She had probably never had such a moment in her long life when she longed for incomprehensible miracles as much as she did now. Correct Time just passed by in an embarrassing silence, second by second, the black and white spherical projection still suspended on a black circular surface six hundred and eighty meters in diameter, quiet and eerie. Correct Then, in the second hour after it was completely dark, there was a sudden flash of light in the distance. C.C. rushed to the window with a single bound and opened her eyes wide in desperation, her golden eyes staring in the sky at the sphere. Correct "I saw it." She murmured, "I really saw it." Correct Before anyone else could ask a question, as if to confirm what she said, more seven-colored light glowed from the dark sphere above the Twelfth Angel Leliel. Because the distance was too far away, more details were not too clear to the naked eye. Correct "Disable communication control immediately." Bright said in a deep voice, "The matter is too important, I immediately want communication links and screen transmissions from the front line." Correct "Yes!" Before the C.C. agreed, Alice took the initiative to lift the restrictions on Bright, and projected the video signal intercepted in the front to the large screen in the room. Bright stared at the screen, while began to contact the soldiers under his command ready to take action at any moment. Correct "Impossible!" Ayanami Rei watched and exclaimed, "This is not scientific!" Correct On the surface of the sphere, like a dry riverbed appeared a large crack, bright red blood from which gushed out more than wildly, and soon converged into a trickle downward flow, and was instantly swallowed by the bottomless abyss. The dazzling seven-colored light from the open cracks vaguely transmitted out, and with time, it become brighter and brighter. The sphere also became more and more broken as the light became more and more dazzling. Correct After about half a minute, the crumbling Twelfth Angel Leliel finally could not withstand the continuous bombardment from within. The fragile sphere completely disintegrated, scattering blood in all directions, and the black shadows on the ground followed, until they disappeared, revealing the smooth ground below. Correct "Gone." Ayanami Rei''s mouth opened wide in disbelief, "The Twelfth Angel Leliel''s induction disappeared." Correct After the dust settled, the bloody Villkiss stood quietly in the middle of the earth, looking hideous and peaceful. Once again, the zoomed-in image shows Ange lying bloodied in the cockpit, her left arm dangling helplessly, her right arm was clutching a silver and white sphere with a happy smile on her face. Correct "Ahem, hey, can you hear me? I brought Ade back." Her breathless voice rang out on the public channel, "I, cough, probably can''t hold on, I need rest for a while. Talk to you later, that''s all ¡­" Correct She said and passed out. Correct ¡­ Correct Ange was now lying on the infirmary bed unconsciously. Her pretty face was full of weakness and haggardness, her pretty blonde hair disheveled, and her sticky driving suit stained with blood. Momoka was sitting by the bed, looking at Ange with a painful look. Correct "First, we have to cut away the driving suit, then we have to do a full physical examination immediately." A middle-aged, dark-skinned man waved a tool that looked like a large pair of scissors, "Leave this kind of thing to me, and ask uninvolved people to wait outside." Correct "Who are you?" C.C. asked coldly. Correct "I am the special doctor who comes with Commander Noa, I have followed the Commander since he was still a captain, I''m trustworthy." The middle-aged man stroked the mustache above his lips, "Everyone calls me Dr. Hasan, and you can call me that too." Correct "Put the tools down, and you can get out." C.C. put up her right hand to stop the man from speaking further, "Please tell Commander Noa that we appreciate his kindness, but I will be responsible for Ange''s treatment." Correct "This kind of serious injury needs a professional¡ª" Correct "I am the professional." C.C. answered coldly, "Get out, now." Correct Dr. Hassan dwelt in place for two seconds, muttered, and turned to leave. Correct "Won''t you deal with Ade''s problem first?" Ayanami Rei pointed to the silver-white sphere held in Alice''s arms, "Alice has confirmed that it is LCL inside, but I, as an NT, can''t sense his presence. Audrey can''t sense it either, right?" Correct Mineva bit her lip and shook her head. Correct "One by one according to the priority, you don''t give me trouble. If Ade finds Ange die after he wakes up, how am I going to explain it to him?" C.C. quickly looked around the infirmary, "Alice, hold Ade; Audrey, don''t run around; Lacus ¡­where is Lacus?" Correct "Still in the room and not out." Alice replied, "She hasn''t come out for two days, I don''t know what she''s doing." Correct "Missing at such a critical time, what is that woman thinking?!" C.C. gave an unpleasant "tsk", "Leave her alone, Ikari, come to help, Loran will take care of the military side." Correct "I''m a scholar, not a doctor, and I think Ade''s problem is more serious." Ayanami Rei pretended to cock her head cutely, "And who is Ikari?" Correct "Don''t pretend, hurry up to give me help." C.C. said, picking up the large scissors and walking towards Ange, "Momoka, come and give me a hand." Correct "Yes!" Momoka''s spirits were lifted. Correct An hour later, Ange was still lying unconscious on the bed. Correct "Crushed fractures in most of her body, hemorrhaging from multiple ruptured arteries, internal bleeding from injuries to plural vital organs, and probably exposed herself directly to the turbulent gravity field in the Sea of Dirac." Ayanami Rei looked puzzled, "But the blood on her clothes and in the cockpit are all surprisingly hers, do you know how many milliliters of blood these add up to? Why is she still alive?" Correct "This idiot!" C.C. looked at Ange with distress and frowned, "It''s good to be alive, why do you care so much!" Correct "The internal organs began to heal on their own without treatment, and the bleeding from the arteries stopped on their own in a highly unscientific way. As far as I know, Norma is not as immortal as you are." Ayanami Rei rested her fingers on Ange''s neck, "Her heart rate is starting to settle back down too, what does she think she is? A humanoid angel?" Correct "Momoka?" C.C. looked to the maid lady, "Do you have any clue?" Correct "No, but if I may say something¡­ "Momoka picked up a broken piece of rope, "I found this around Her Highness Angelise''s neck, but I''m sure it''s not an item that belongs to Her Highness. The strange thing is that there is only one rope and there is nothing tied to it." Correct C.C. took it and looked left and right, but she didn''t see anything special, so she returned it to Momoka. Correct "Although I''m still confused, anyway, her condition is stable, the rest we can do is to bring her back to the moon to receive better treatment." C.C. turned her head to look at the ball in Alice, "The rest is to save Ade." Correct Ayanami Rei sighed and shook her head, "I don''t have a solution, and I guess the doctor won''t either. His condition is beyond any human''s ability, and unless the technology can reach Lilith''s level, ¡­" Correct "I have a solution." Lacus pushed the door open and walked in, "You and Ange have done well enough, C.C., I''ll take care of the rest." Correct CH 204 Chapter 204:tLingus, NevertComes Back 0 Correct "It''sttime."

Correct Lacus placed Ade in the middle of the dining room table, carefully adjusting his posture so that Ade didn''t roll around on the table. Then she took the test tube with Lilith from the refrigerator and placed it side by side with Ade. After all this, she pulled out the chair and sat down gently, looking at the silver-white spherical object seriously. Correct Alice looked at Lacus confused, and then looked at Mineva, who was holding a glass of water and taking small sips. She raised her hands and asked, "Lacus, what are we doing? Didn''t you say you had a way to change Ade back?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Yes, but we can''t let Ikari Yui know that way," Lacus looked up at the time, "C.C. and the other girls should be back soon, I''ll tell you when they get back." Correct "Oh." Alice nodded obediently, and the space once again fell into silence. Correct After a while, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance. Not long after, C.C. and Momoka, who had changed their shoes, came in one after the other. The former had a haggard look on her face. Correct "Ange is settled in the hospital and Loran has sent someone to take care of her. The doctor says she''s out of danger, but the wounds are healing too fast¡­" C.C. took off her jacket as she walked, and the maid behind her took it and hung it up for her, "Didn''t you go to see Aeolia? What did he say?" Correct "Exactly the same thing as Ikari Yui said, with the current human technology, there is nothing that can be done about Ade''s situation. Either wait until technology develops or simply give up." Lacus watched C.C. sit down across from her, while Momoka stood obediently behind C.C. "Mineva tried that too, neither Ade nor Lillith could be sensed. They both may be out of a similar situation now." Correct "The key is that Lillith is not there now either, otherwise, we could still think of a way." C.C.''s eyebrows frowned, picked up the glass of water placed in front of her, and drank it all, "Maybe we can only wait ¡­" Correct "But have you thought about it, C.C.?" Lacus said softly, "What if human science and technology can''t develop to that degree that is able to save Ade? What if the human race were extinct because of the loss of Ade? What if Ade''s LCL container is destroyed by people with bad intentions? What if even the technological development had developed and Ade still couldn''t be saved?" Correct C.C. was silent for a little while, "Do you have a solution?" Correct "Yes, I do have a solution, thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls provided by Ikari Yui." Lacus smiled faintly, "Since the solution will eventually depend on Lilith, let''s build a Lilith." Correct "Do you mean¡­ create a ¡­ new Lilith by us?" C.C. eyes rounded, "Lacus, Lillith is the creator of all Lilin, is this kind of thing really possible to do?" Solved "It can be done, for Ade, there is nothing that can''t be done." Lacus'' blue-gray pupils flowed a firm and icy gaze, "The Laplace program is currently in my hands, we first follow the clues to find the box, destroy all angels, and then artificially trigger the second impact. When all humanity returns to the sea of LCL, we seize the collective consciousness of Lilin, taking the opportunity to recreate Ade by using the authority of Lillis and Adam. That''s my plan." Correct "Do you know what you''re talking about?" C.C. stood up at once with her trembling hands braced on the table, "Do you know what the Second Impact means? What''s the difference between doing that and the plan of the madman Charles?!" Correct "Of course there''s a difference." Lacus stared at her without flinching, "He was trying to seize power, eventually make himself a god, unify the consciousness of all mankind, and create a world without lies, while I''m just an ordinary wife trying to get my husband back." Correct "No, it''s not like that." C.C. pointed aggressively at the test tube on the table, "Lillith is already like this, triggering the second impact can only be done by the contact between the angels and Adam. In the first place, you have no way at all to ensure that you can dominate the collective consciousness." Correct "I already said I have a way, all the technical details are designed, and I have the funds for the operation ready. The only problem that needs to be solved is the lack of manpower and force." Lacus stood her elbows on the table and crossed her fingers in front of her, "This plan is only waiting to be finally implemented, and will definitely be implemented. C.C., are you in?" Correct "Mineva, do you understand what Lacus is saying?" C.C. dropped her head feebly, her long hair covering her face, "She wants to get Ade back by wiping out all of humanity, well, you heard right, wiping out all of humanity." Correct The scale of things was suddenly too big for the young girl to comprehend, Mineva shrank into a ball in horror, looking left at C.C. and right at Lacus, not knowing what to do. Correct "Mineva is still young, she can''t understand what we''re talking about, don''t get her involved." Lacus shook her head with an indifferent look, "Now that Ange is in a coma, I have no intention of discussing it with anyone else, give me your answer." Correct "Answers?" C.C. slowly raised her head, "Do you need me to tell you what kind of person Ade is? Don''t you know the actual reason why he was working so hard? Even if this kind of thing can succeed, he will not be happy at all!" Correct "Then ask him to tell me!" Lacus slapped the table and stood up abruptly, shouting hysterically, "How do I know what he thinks now? You tell him to stand in front of me and tell me himself!" Correct "He''s a NewType, don''t you get it?" C.C. yelled at the top of her lungs, "Even if he does come back the way you did, how do you expect him to be strong enough to live with a world that was destroyed because of him? He said he loved the world! He''ll go crazy!" Correct "Time will heal everything, that''s what you told me." Lacus took a deep breath to control her violent emotions, there was a vague sparkle in her eyes, "I can''t be sure if NewTypes and Coordinators will be LCLed, but even if we are all gone, his favorite Ange can always be with him. That''s enough." Correct "Lacus, calm down, don''t be impulsive." C.C. raised her two hands, "We can consider it after Ange wakes up, and then discuss it with Loran and Aeolia. I believe we can always find a way." Correct "Don''t say irresponsible words. We all know Ikari Yui''s and Dr. Aeolia''s judgment, and you can''t deny that this is probably the only way." Lacus pursed her lips with mixed feelings, "In fact, from the time Ade was swallowed by The Twelfth Angel Leliel, I guessed that this day might come. This is the answer I''ve been thinking about since then, not the result of any impulse." Correct "Ade would never agree to this plan if he was there." C.C. thought fast about what to say, "Think about yourself, in case your plan really succeeds, how are you going to face Ade when he comes back? How is he going to face you?" Correct "He said he would forgive me." Lacus spread a smile, "If he chooses not to forgive me, then I will take responsibility and die." Correct "But¡ª" Correct "No more buts, C.C., the argument ends here." Lacus looked up at the clock again, "Yes, or no, give me your answer." Correct "Do you need to ask? I''ll take responsibility to stop you, Ade wouldn''t want to see you commit such a¡ª" C.C. suddenly froze, "What did you put in the tea? Correct Lacus faintly smiled, "I knew you would not agree, but I could not beat you, so I had to resort to this." Correct C.C. moved her arms a little and found that her nerve response was starting to lag, but she decisively ignored this and lifted her feet towards Lacus: "You think that''s going to restrain me? That''s naive, I¡ª" Correct Several silver streams wrapped around C.C.''s body like lightning, and in an instant, she was bound. C.C. struggled a bit and found herself unable to move. She couldn''t help but roared, "Alice!" Correct "I never underestimate the threat posed by force, I always play it with caution." Lacus chuckled softly, "Humans are nothing to Alice, her position is actually very clear, isn''t it?" Correct C.C. pinned her hopes on the character that Lacus might have overlooked. She called out that name with her last strength, "Momoka!" Correct "Sorry." The owner of that name replied behind her, "I''m also ¡­" Correct Only to feel a sharp blow to the back of her head, and then C.C. couldn''t feel anything. Momoka held her body and softly put her on the sofa, "The maid''s main goal is to make her master happy, so if her master is missing, the maid must find her master back." Correct Lacus, who was watching everything develop as expected, sighed and went to Mineva''s side and stroked the little girl''s head compassionately: "I''m going out with Alice and Momoka for a while, and we''ll be back with Ade. You can look for Mayu or Cagalli for help, then¡­" Correct "Don''t touch me." Mineva smacked Lacus''s hand away, "What are you doing? Going to run away?" Correct "It doesn''t matter if you don''t understand, just remember that I will bring Ade back." Lacus ignored the little girl''s resistance and patted her little head, "But you probably can''t wait for the day to fight for Ade with me. When the time comes, go and fight Ange." Correct Mineva wanted to say something more, but she could no longer resist the sleepiness, closed her eyes, and fell into Lacus'' arms. Correct Lacus carried Mineva back to her room, took off her shoes and clothes, and put on her bear pajamas and tucked her in before she came downstairs, while Momoka and Alice were all ready and waiting in the living room. Correct "Momoka, you drive." Lacus tossed the car key to the maid, who caught it with one hand, "Alice, you take Ade and Lilith, we are leaving now." Correct ¡­ Correct The car was traveling alone underground. Momoka had never been to this place before and was just driving strictly following the navigation provided by Lacus. Correct Lacus on the passenger side was now whispering on her cell phone, "Passwords, boot code, I want them all ¡­ sorry, you have no right to refuse. If you don''t want you and your sister''s affairs to be on the headlines of major websites around the world early tomorrow morning ¡­ don''t ask the reason, there''s no point ¡­ don''t try to convince me, I just need to know yes or no ¡­ very well, thanks for your cooperation." Correct Momoka glanced at the silent Alice and said to Lacus, who had just hung up the phone, "Since there is not enough fighting power, aren''t the MSs in Ade-san''s hangar more convenient to get?" Correct "Those are not enough." Lacus pulled off the phone battery directly, casually throwing it out of the window, "The best choice is TurnA, but Ade had returned TurnA to Loran and Diana. So we can only choose the current one. " Correct "Then ¡­ "Momoka thought about it and asked, "After leaving the moon, where are we going?" Correct "There is my secret stronghold on Earth, and we will use it as a base for our future activities." Lacus looked out of the car window, "I had proposed to give it to Ade, but was rejected by him. I didn''t expect it to be able to come in handy again." Correct "It seems that you have everything arranged, please don''t have to worry about giving me the task, I assure you that I will be able to complete it." Momoka murmured, "As long as we can get Ade-san back ¡­" Correct "I thought you would choose to stay and take care of Ange, I didn''t expect you to come with me. " Lacus looked at her out of the corner of her eye, "Momoka, you¡ª" Correct "I am very clear about my role, I am an appendage, a gift to Her Highness Angelise. My master''s happiness is my happiness, a qualified maid is not allowed to think other things." Momoka interrupted her in a loud voice, "Miss Lacus, we are here." Correct Lacus sighed silently, got out of the car and walked to the coded door, entering the access instructions she just got from the phone. Correct Relying on the leaks from the core staff, the rest of the way was unhindered, and the three of them made it all the way to the innermost hangar without a hitch. As Alice turned on the lighting, a chic, angular Gundam appeared in their sights. Correct "You really have chosen this path." Ikari Yui slowly paced out from the shadows, "I felt something was wrong when you approached me for the Dead Sea Scrolls, you planned it from then on, didn''t you?" Correct "Ade is always surrounded by smart and beautiful women," Lacus laughed helplessly, "And you''re not only one of the smartest, but you''re also an assistant and a student. You have some new attributes that no one else has." Correct "This kind of trash talk is meaningless to me, I can''t let you continue your madness any longer. Shinji will die." As Ikari Yui reached for her pocket, she saw a black shadow flashing before her eyes, followed by a pain in the back of her neck, "What¡ª" Correct Momoka put Ikari Yui gently on the floor and returned to Lacus'' side with a cold look. The latter looked at the young girl lying unconscious on the floor and sighed, "Violence is always the most direct means of solving problems, but smart people always think they can ignore violence." Correct "Lacus, ignore her, let''s hurry up and move." Alice raised the silver sphere, showing impatience, "Will we also put Ade and Lillith in the cockpit? But there is no fixed place inside, what if the tubes are broken or lost?" Correct "So we need two safe places ¡­ "Lacus recalled the information of the MS and pondered for a moment, "Then let''s put them inside the GN-Drive. There should be no safer place.

" 0 Correct Share with: Publish Time: 2022-04-03 12:55:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 206: Kira In the Sky Correct Cagalli sat on her knees with a smile on her face, clapping her hands while shouting cheers. Not far from her, the thirteen-month-old baby was struggling to maintain balance, moving forward step by step. However, the sister behind him fell on her heels, sitting on the ground and crying. The brother was at a loss for a while and also cried after that. Correct "Oh oh, mommy is here, don''t cry, don''t cry." Cagalli picked up the crying sister, "Kira, come and help." Correct The brother sitting alone on the floor saw no one come to hold him, crying sadder and sadder. Cagalli hurriedly put down the sister to hug the brother, but as long as the sister left her, she cried even louder. Correct Unlock this chapter. "Kira, come and help, what are you doing?" Cagalli shouted and didn''t get a response. She could not help but look up, found her husband was looking at the ceiling with a look of disorientation, "Kira? What happened?" Correct "Huh?" Kira snapped back to his senses, "Oh, they''re both crying, are they? I''ll do it." Correct "No, I''m asking what''s wrong with you. Hey, you two, don''t cry." The two babies also seemed to feel the serious atmosphere and their cries gradually stopped. "You look terrible just now, I''m worried about you, can you tell me what''s wrong? You were fine until you answered the phone just now." Correct "Nothing, it''s a little change at work." Kira played it cool, "I can fix it, you don''t have to worry, it''s really okay." Correct That''s a lie. Correct Kira knew clearly that 00 Qanta''s secret had been leaked out. Although he didn''t know why Lacus suddenly changed as if she had become a different person, he just did leak the secret. The most critical is that he couldn''t get through Dr. Lingus''s phone. He couldn''t find a suitable person to discuss it. Correct Kira knew clearly that with the moon''s level of technology, they would soon find out who leaked the secret, and what would wait for him will be a fine and criminal sanctions for breach of contract. But when the wife and children were put on the other side of the scale, he instantly lost other options. Correct So where did it all go wrong? Was it wrong to work for Dr. Aeolia in order to give Cagalli a better life? Was it wrong to buy a house in order to give Cagalli a home? Or was ¡­ being with Cagalli simply the wrong decision? Correct "Hey, Kira," Cagalli picked up the children one by one and put them on the bed, "I know I''m not smart enough to help you at work, and I don''t have any skills to make money to ease your burden. I can only do simple things like taking care of them both and making you feel relaxed at home, but I am taking it seriously." Correct "It''s really okay." Kira tried a harmless smile, "I ¡­" Correct "I''m really not that good, reading minds is too difficult for me." Cagalli walked over to Kira and put her hand gently on his shoulder, "But we''ve been married for so long, I''m not so dumb that I can''t even tell when you have something on your mind, right?" Correct "I ¡­ "Kira sighed and hung his head slowly and powerlessly, "I had no choice." Correct Cagalli moved a chair to Kira''s side with an encouraging smile on her face, "Kira, you are very gentle, don''t know how to refuse others. But you are a very righteous man and stick to your principles. This is your part I like the most." Correct "I didn''t want to do this, I knew it was wrong, I couldn''t even guess what the consequences would be, but ¡­ "Kira bowed up in pain and covered his head, "I can''t find the doctor, I don''t even know what happened, I ¡­" Correct "Were you forced to do something against my will?" Cagalli looked at her husband, nodded slightly, and softened her voice, "Kira is not someone who would do such a thing, you must have been forced to do it. Is there a bad person to threaten you with something?" Correct Kira didn''t know what to say ¡ª what could he say? Your best friend, Lacus is the bad guy you''re talking about, and you''re the accomplice? He didn''t have to think about it to know that the secret of 00 Qanta was leaked out from Cagalli''s mouth, but Cagalli trusted and admired Lacus so much, how could he say such things? Correct "Although I don''t think I can help much, you can''t lose to bad guys ah! We have to set an example for the babies and be good and decent people!" Cagalli clenched her fist and waved it symbolically, "The kids and I will stand firmly on your side!" Correct Things in the world are not simply black and white, you single-celled creature! A wave of irritation made Kira unable to resist blurting out, "Even if we can''t be together anymore?" Correct "Hey?" Cagalli froze in place, "What are you ¡­ talking about?" Correct "Even if we can''t be together anymore, I have to be separated from you and the kids." Kira lifted his head and stared at his sister, her eyes full of indefinable meaning, "We still have to insist on being good people?" Correct "Yes, we still have to insist on being good people." Cagalli nodded heavily, "No matter what happens, even if you can no longer be with us, you must still persist. But I will try to be with you again as long as we are both not dead." Correct "I ¡­ "Kira only wanted to slap himself. What the hell am I talking about! Correct "And no, it''s not a frivolous principle!" Cagalli looked at him with a firm gaze, her voice becoming a little choked up, "That is the principle you have been adhering to since we met, the most precious quality in you, and one of the most important reasons why I fell in love with you. Surrender because of the coercion of bad people¡­ this is not the Kira I know!" Correct "But you don''t understand, you and the children¡ª" Correct "Then protect us, you''re already a husband and a father, it''s your duty!" Cagalli said with her eyes red, "I will also, I will also protect you, it is my duty as a wife and mother!" Correct Kira hammered his thigh with his fist and stood up, "I''m going to find His Highness Loran. Cagalli, wait for me." Correct "Of course I''ll wait for you to come back." Cagalli said with tears in her eyes and a silly smile on her face, "Every day." Correct ¡­ Correct The roar of the thrusters could not be heard in the vacuum, and a bright line was drawn through the darkness of the universe as the Wing Gundam Zero maintained its top speed through the universe. Kira in the cockpit stared intently at the light dot on the edge of the radar as it continued to approach, taking a rare deep breath, trying to find the best possible state. Correct 00 Qanta was taken by force, Miss Ayanami was knocked unconscious, Kira could not imagine why the innocent, gentle and lovely Miss Lacus had suddenly become this way. Her Highness Loran only vaguely mentioned that some changes had occurred in Dr. Lingus''s family. Kira didn''t get a detailed explanation, only knowing that Lacus was escaping to Earth. Correct Since he had taken over the task of seizing 00 Qanta back, he would definitely complete it. Even if the opponent is Lacus Lingus, he will not have a moment''s hesitation. Correct He knows better than anyone else what a terrible MS 00 Qanta is, so without hesitation, he chose to chase it with Wing Gundam Zero. Fighting 00 Qanta with an unfamiliar machine is no different than suicide. Correct Fortunately, from the street view surveillance obtained before, on the other side, in addition to Alice, who had some combat experience, Lacus and the maid didn''t have any experience of MS fight. According to common sense, the other side would certainly want to avoid battles. Correct In addition, the hangar''s surveillance video was also deleted, somehow Lacus wasted a lot of time in the hangar. But thanks to this delay, plus Lacus and the girls had to take a long detour to avoid garrisons, he was able to catch up with 00 Qanta, whose speed was not at all inferior to that of Wing Gundam Zero. Correct "I''m ready." Kira looked at the familiar figure that finally appeared in the field of vision and muttered to himself, "I will ¡­ fight." Correct The two sides were getting closer and closer, 00 Qanta, as if simply gave up to escape, was facing him and waiting in place. Lacus''s voice appeared on the public channel, "Is it ¡­ Kira Yamato who is coming? Why are you doing this?" Correct "I don''t want to fight you either, Ms. Lacus." Kira said in a deep voice, "But I have someone I want to protect, so I will shoot you." Correct "You''re contradicting yourself, or do you not care about Cagalli and the two kids anymore?" Lux laughed out softly, "Oh, I see, if you can wipe me out here, then no one will know your little secret, right?" Correct "I won''t kill you, and I''m not afraid of you telling the truth. Although it is still invisible, the path for Cagalli and I to continue to be together must exist." Kira couldn''t help but feel a little emotional, "I will¡ª" Correct Something is wrong, something is definitely wrong! Correct Kira reflexively performed a series of operations. Wing Gundam Zero fiercely gathered the wings to cover the whole body as four particle beams hit its steel wings from four different angles at almost the same time. The parts that were damaged automatically fell off, scattering countless feathers in the sky. Correct "Tsk." Lacus'' unhappy voice came from the public channel, "You deserve to be a Super Coordinator ¡­" Correct Until then Kira only reacted that 00 Qanta''s left arm''s shape was not right ¡ª two small Funnels were missing. Because the distance was too far, and the Funnels could only be manipulated by NT, he didn''t notice their disappearance and subconsciously ignored them, but fortunately, his familiarity with 00 Qanta and his extraordinary reaction let him dodge at the most critical moment. Correct "Why can you use Funnels?" Asked Kira incredulously, "That''s Funnels! Only NT can use them!" Correct Lacus didn''t answer him but responded to him with an intense barrage of fire. Correct In order to make up for the lack of GN-Drive, and to balance the shield and Funnels on the left arm, the right arm of 00 Qanta is equipped with the "Sword IV", a composite weapon designed by Dr. Aeolia himself. As the name implies, this huge sword made of four blades of different sizes has three gun blades attached to it, and its complex structure allows it to change into various forms to meet different needs. Correct Kira remembered that Miss Ayanami had mentioned to him that if the GN-Drive was powerful enough, theoretically the "Sword IV" could even have high firepower bursts, but unfortunately, that only existed in theory, because no one can find that powerful GN-Drives. Correct The current Kira kept his Wing Gundam Zero''s wings tucked away, trying to dodge the rapid fire while dashing forward. Earlless streams of light brushed by his side, occasionally splashing a cluster of sparks or scattering a few feathers. Correct Seeing that the attack never worked, Lacus panicked and began to control 00 Qanta to fly backward, while constantly changing the form of the weapon. However, no matter what she did, the distance between the two MSs was getting closer and closer. Correct "As expected." Kira said silently in his mind, "No sense of blocking, not very accurate shooting, and not skilled in the form change of Sword IV. As long as I keep this rhythm, I can easily cut off 00Qanta''s four limbs after I get closer, and then I can bring back Miss Lacus and 00 Qanta unharmed." Correct "I''m surprised by your strength." Lacus said furiously, "Is it because of your almost invincible power that you have the courage to marry your own sister? Did you kill Athrun to hide the truth from Cagalli?" Correct "Power isn''t all I have!" Kira felt a nameless fire burning in his chest, "Cagalli is so fond of you, how can you say such things, Miss Lacus!" Correct "What do you know again?" Sword IV turned into a heavy artillery mode, "I also have a bitterness!" Correct A flood of particles surged out with Lacus'' roar, and Wing Gundam Zero easily got out of the striking range with a deft rotational side-shift, while 00 Qanta fell into a relatively long weapon cooldown, and the two MSs were within reach. Correct "I respect Dr. Lingus, and I believe you must have bitterness, but ¡­" A pair of white feathers broke out a dazzling light. Wing Gundam Zero instantly turned into a stream of light and affixed to 00 Qanta "Cagalli is crying!" Correct Kira used his weapon for the first time since the start of the battle, and Wing Gundam Zero''s right arm rose up and gripped the beam saber stored in the left shoulder, swinging it downward as Kira pulled it out, and the next second, 00 Qanta''s right arm and leg would be severed. Correct At that moment, 00 Qanta suddenly released Sword IV and in a flash, reached out with its right hand and grabbed Wing Gundam Zero''s upper arm. Kira subconsciously followed the opponent''s movement and twisted Wing Gundam Zero''s head while pushing forward in an attempt to pull away from the distance. Correct "What?" Kira suddenly realized that 00 Qanta was actually holding onto Wing Gundam Zero from behind, "Is this your true goal?!" Correct "Momoka, good job." Lacus'' voice dripped with exhaustion, "Alice, get started." Correct Less than three seconds after Lacus'' words, Kira watched as the operating screen of his beloved MS went completely blue, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not regain control. Correct "Failed ¡­" Kira''s face was ashen in a flash, "Cagalli, I ¡­" Correct 00 Qanta released Wing Gundam Zero and began to retrieve the equipment that had been thrown everywhere. In the cockpit, Lacus took one last look back at the moon, "There should be no more pursuers, let''s go." Correct "As ordered." The young girl in the driver''s seat wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead, "You are really great." Correct "Don''t use honorifics, Momoka, just call me by my name." The light in Lacus'' eyes dimmed, "You''re Ade''s maid, not mine." Correct Momoka was stunned, a wistful look gradually appeared on her face, "You said the same thing as he did."

What makes the meek masses cry out in despair? What made the royal family turn the weapons against its people? The Earth Federation government urged that the Azadistan side should reflect on its own problems, not intensify conflicts, and effectively guarantee the basic human rights of every citizen¡­" Correct With the impassioned voiceover, the back of a Middle Eastern woman with a child in her left hand and an assault rifle in her right hand appeared on the screen. In front of her, there was an MS. The battle damage on the fuselage and the smoke in the background screen all hint that it was at war, and the poor mother would be trampled by the MS in the next moment. Correct "Although I know it is a common tactic of the Federation, even if I know, I don''t have any feasible countermeasures." Marina sighed and pressed the switch of the remote control in her hand to turn off the TV, "We have no influential media, no international voice, we have no way to speak out our proposition." Correct Unlock this chapter. "It''s obviously the Federation problem. They deliberately use this kind of distorted reporting." Setsuna''s voice sounded a little angry, "Anyone with a little common sense will see that if our MS continues to¡ª" Correct "That''s enough, Setsuna. "Marina took his hand and shook her head slightly, "This is what Azadistan deserves for the energy sources they used to play with the Federation nations. What we can and should do now is to ignore the gossip, stabilize the situation at home, and fight for a peaceful and bright future for our people." Correct Setsuna looked straight at Marina and said forcefully, "I am a saboteur who only fights, but whenever there is a need for me, please do let me know." Correct Marina held his hand and nodded with a smile, not saying much. Recently, there were rumors in the palace that she was raising a man, but she didn''t really care. There were so many things to worry about now that this little thing couldn''t even let her pay attention to. Correct Just last week, when the old king of Azadistan was attending an outdoor court event, a retired special forces sniper suffering from severe mental illness suddenly had an attack of symptoms, picked up the latest top-of-the-line sniper rifle hidden under his bed for many years, infiltrated the highest building near the event alone, shot the old king in the head from 800 meters away, and then killed himself on the spot by taking poison. Correct The old king died too suddenly without leaving a will, leaving many royal sons and daughters to start a brutal court fight. Being protected by Setsuna and with his superb killing skills, Marina finally ascended to the throne, becoming the current monarch of the Kingdom of Azadistan. Correct Unfortunately, the domestic economy of Azadistan has long been overwhelmed. After the former king died, the long-standing grievances amongst people finally burst out, instantly sweeping through the kingdom. Smashing, looting, and attacks on government agencies were happening everywhere. Marina couldn''t eat and sleep well every day, and even Setsuna was distressed by that. Correct "I suggest you take a nap, Marina." Setsuna looked down at the time, "Two hours and thirty minutes until the plane arrives, I''ll take care of waking you up." Correct "Thank you, Setsuna, but I''ll have to think about how I''m going to convince the other side later." Marina rubbed her temples gently, "This may be our last chance to join the Federation." Correct Two hours and thirty minutes later, Queen Nunnally arrived on time. Marina personally went to the airport to meet and greet her, holding a grand welcome ceremony. Correct Since this state visit was public, countless people greeted Nunnally on her way from the airport to the palace. It was not until Nunnally was seated opposite Marina in the royal palace that the thunderous shouts outside gradually dissipated. Correct "The people of your kingdom are really ebullient, I''m not used to it." Nunnally, dressed in full regalia, smiled coyly, "The capital is also very peaceful, it doesn''t look like there has been a riot, it seems that you really have a good governance." Correct "Thanks. They are innocent people and were merely incited." Marina responded without condescension, "Honestly, I know the situation in Azadistan is not very stable, you could have picked a better time to visit here. There is no need to put yourself at risk." Correct "Yes, there was no need to risk my life, which is why I couldn''t wait to come as soon as possible." Nunnally said with great sincerity, "How similar the situation you are facing is to the situation I faced in Britannia! I can''t help but empathize with your predicament, and I want to help you." Correct "You are too kind." Nunnally''s sincere attitude and innocence made Marina let down her guard a little, "Your Majesty, you have a reputation for wisdom, and I have just succeeded to the throne, so I would like to ask you to give me advice in all aspects if you can." Correct "I''m not exaggerating, as you can see, I''m even younger than you." Nunnally blushed with embarrassment, "But if you want to rebuild Azadistan, I think the most important thing is to join the Earth Federation, right? Your kingdom is different from ours, limited in size, and outside help is very necessary. If you don''t mind, I can say a few words in the Federation for you." Correct Marina unconsciously opened her mouth with a dumbfounded look. The situation was out of her expectations. The other party took the initiative to propose what she wanted most, which is too¡­ Correct She knew herself very much. Without Setsuna''s help, she would have died in the fierce struggle for the throne. But Nunnally''s performance seems to be¡­ even worse than hers? Is she really a kind-hearted, naive little girl as the rumors say? Correct "Then it''s a deal." Nunnally smiled in a childish manner and concluded, "Oh yes, I recently heard a rumor that you have a fancy man. Ah, of course, I don''t believe it, but I heard that the so-called fancy man looks like a fugitive of our country ¡ª Setsuna-F-Seiei." Correct Marina tried to keep her face smiling to keep Nunnally from seeing anything. It seemed that Setsuna''s existence had indeed been leaked in some way. Correct "According to the latest reliable information I have received, this person is not only a fugitive, but also involved with the notorious terrorist organization ''Celestial Being.''" Nunnally frowned and made an indignant face, "So I''d like to take the liberty of asking if this man actually exists in the royal palace?" Correct Marina gathered her breath and said in as even a voice as possible, "As far as I know, there is no such person existing in the royal palace of Azadistan, probably a rumor." Correct "But I received reliable information from my informant that there did be this person, Setsuna-F-Seiei, in the palace." Nunnally blinked her big eyes innocently, "This is your kingdom''s last chance to join the Federation, please think about it before you answer." Correct A cold air rushed from Marina''s tailbone straight to her head. She finally understood, the other party was threatening her! Britannia had undercover agents in the royal palace! Correct "No such person exists in the palace." She didn''t even think about it and said categorically, "It must be a rumor." Correct "As a monarch, but more concerned about men than politics, I must say we are very similar." Nunnally smiled pleasantly, "But since you have made your choice, please be prepared for all the consequences that come with it." Correct Then, Queen Nunnally ended the meeting early and returned because she was not feeling well. Marina, for her part, returned to the palace with a dejected look on her face, not noticing Setsuna''s fidgety, wistful look, but informing him succinctly of the outcome of the talks. Correct "I''m sorry." Setsuna reflexively apologized, "It''s my fault." Correct "How could it be your fault? I would have died without you." Marina smiled gently, "I do wish to join the Federation, but joining the Federation is for the peace and happiness of the nation, and it would be putting the cart before the horse to trade the happiness of the nationals for this qualification." Correct "Nationals?" Setsuna was in a trance for a moment before he responded, putting up a finger and poking himself, "Me?" Correct "Kurgis is now part of Azadistan, and you are now an Azadistani." Marina nodded solemnly, "I am the monarch of this kingdom, and you are my important national, so I will work for your peace and happiness as well." Correct "Others ¡­ strive for my happiness ¡­ ¡­ "Setsuna froze in place. Correct "Actually, to thank you for everything you did for me before, I also have a gift for you. I know the treasury is very short of money right now, but please forgive my final caprice." Marina subconsciously averted her gaze, "But the gift hasn''t arrived yet, so I can''t tell you what it is yet." Correct "Thanks." Setsuna struggled to squeeze out of his teeth the next words he had held in for so long, "But I should go, someone is calling me." Correct ¡­ Correct "Setsuna? Setsuna?" A pink shadow loomed in front of him, "Are you still listening to me?" Correct "Huh?" Setsuna snapped out of his delirious state, "I''m sorry, Ms. Lacus." Correct Lacus didn''t say anything but got alerted. Correct "It''s okay, let''s continue." She smiled and shook her head, "Just now, I mentioned that the ultimate goal of the Angels is to destroy humanity, so we must destroy all the Angels before then." Correct "Why not cooperate with the Federation or the Moon?" Setsuna immediately asked rhetorically. Correct He knows to ask questions. It''s not a good trend. Lacus thought silently and continued to explain, "Because there are people in the Federation and Lunar government who have developed a plan called Human Instrumentality Project and want to use angels to wipe out humanity to make themselves gods, just like what Robbins did back then. I will explain it to you in detail afterward if you want to hear it." Correct "There are no gods in the world." Setsuna said reflexively, "They are a distortion point in the world and must be eradicated." Correct "You''re right, they must be eradicated, but that''s a task after we have eliminated angels." Lacus looked at Setsuna and had a flash of light in her mind, "Speaking of which, Setsuna, you have always had very special feelings for Gundam, right? In fact, in my opinion, you are like Gundam, fighting against the strong power, breaking the difficulties, opening up hope, and creating the future." Correct "I am like ¡­ "Setsuna could not help but be stunned, "¡­Gundam? " Correct "It''s not just like that, you are Gundam." Lacus raised the corners of her mouth covertly, "So we must succeed in this mission, we must destroy angels, open up hope and create a future for humanity." Correct "Open up hope and create the future." Setsuna clenched his fist, muttered, and repeated, "I am ¡­ Gundam."

Correct When she had to use its force now, she suddenly found that the one and only ACE of Celestial Being, Setsuna was still under her control. Solved "Although I will only fight, Marina has told me that in order to get answers, fighting is not enough. Trying to study and master the things you are not good at is also a kind of battle with oneself." Setsuna paused and continued to ask, "Ms. Lacus, how many angels are left?" Correct Unlock this chapter. Lacus was silent for a moment before she slowly answered, "We still need to eliminate three angels. One''s form and location are uncertain. One is confirmed to be located in Japan. Another one is the one you have to deal with now, under the Antarctic ice." Correct "Antarctica ¡­," Setsuna recited with mixed feelings, "Britannia ¡­ " Correct Setsuna slowed down to match Lacus, his crisp footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. Correct "According to reliable intelligence, Britannia hid an unhatched angel in the Antarctic. Setsuna, what do you think Charles and Ribbons and the others were trying to do before?" Lacus hummed lightly and her expression suddenly became solemn, "We no longer have any need to save resources, the battle with the angel will be our last battle, all the money, supplies, and contacts will be squandered as much as possible in the remaining battles, you have to be prepared for the last fight." Correct "Miss Lacus ¡­!" Setsuna shivered with excitement, "I have never been to Antarctica, but as far as I know, Antarctica is not heavily fortified and there is no ACE stationed, I will definitely complete the mission and eradicate Angels!" Correct "His basic thinking logic is still unchanged, at least, Marina''s influence on him is not too much yet." She made the following judgment, "It is enough to last until the end of the plan as long as it is operated carefully." Correct The blue and white surface of 00 Qanta reflected a metallic luster under the light in the hangar. The six Funnels on the shield of the left arm were neatly arranged from long to short, and the gunblade weapon "Sword IV" was equipped in the form of a large sword at the right shoulder of the fuselage. The whole MS, from its color to its shape and even its name is indeed reminiscent of Gundam00. Correct Setsuna subconsciously stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the left side of his chest, the thumping coming from his palm was like the drumming of his first love. Correct "00 Qanta¡­" He just repeated this name over and over again, "00 Qanta¡­ " Correct ¡­ Correct There was no filler in the huge space except the biting cold air. The upper part was sealed by a thick layer of ice. In addition to the lights on the four walls, there was no trace of human activity. Correct "This is the secret below the South Pole." Iron Mask sighed contentedly, "It is said that there is a similar space below Hakone in Japan, although I have not yet been there, I think it is similar to this place." Correct Behind him, Kururugi was silent, always in a vigilant posture ready to strike. Correct "I already have a clue, but not here." Iron Mask said slowly, "I came down here is just to solve a question deep in my heart back then." Correct Kururugi simply shut up and ignored him, but Iron Mask was getting more and more agitated as he murmured. Correct "Unfortunately, this is a fact that only I, as a narcissist, can be awake and cognizant of." Iron Mask let out a long sigh, "Overly powerful NewTypes, especially Lingus, will completely distort the surrounding relationships with the NT ability, and the people around them are not aware of it. Your Majesty is one of them. Fortunately, Lingus'' mistresses are weak women, unlike Her Majesty Nunnally who is in a high position. Otherwise, the consequences would be even more unthinkable." Correct "Shh!" Kururugi put up a finger in front of his lips with a stony look on his face. Correct Before Iron Mask asked, Kururugi suddenly shifted his body, rushing to Iron Mask, carrying him on, and running crazily. In the blink of an eye, they had retreated to the exit of the underground cavern, and wildly ran towards the location of the MS parked outside. Correct It was only when the Gundam appeared in their sight that Iron Mask''s NT senses started to warn him in his head, followed by a late bang behind them and a tremor in the ice. Correct "How did you ¡­ find out about this?" Iron Mask, who was still being carried on Kururugi''s shoulders, asked incredulously, "You''re not NewType, are you? No, I can be sure that you''re absolutely not an NT." Correct "The touch of the feet, the vibration of the air, the elevated temperature, the sound of the thrusters, the smell of concentrated particles, and the intuition of danger." Kururugi jumped to the cockpit door with a few landings and threw Iron Mask in casually, "Don''t try to run away later, don''t mess up, and, don''t throw up."

When Kururugi returned to the scene in his Gundam D-Hell Custom, the particle beam, as thick as a battleship''s main cannon, was re-energized from the strange-shaped weapon on 00 Qanta''s right wrist and slammed into the "egg" below. Correct "The opponent''s target is obviously the angel, but his identity, source of information, and infiltration route are all suspicious." Iron Mask kindly suggested, "Secretary Suzaku, I suggest you capture him alive, I''m sure it won''t be a problem with your skills, right?" Correct "The enemy should be a heavy firepower type MS," Kururugi looked at the large crater that appeared after the smoke cleared with a gaze, and the bat wings of the Gundam D-Hell followed wrapped tightly, "Of course there is no problem!" Correct Unlock this chapter. The fuselage suddenly turned into a black shadow and shot out, completing the transition from static to dynamic in the blink of an eye. Iron Mask was hit hard on the back wall of the cockpit with a muffled sound and nearly fell apart. Correct "This MS''s design didn''t consider the pilot''s capacity, even I, a veteran ACE, can''t stand it." Iron Mask complained while trying to keep his balance in the cockpit, "This acceleration is enough to kill the pilot, which nerd designed it?" Correct "This MS is a token given to His Majesty Nunnally by Dr. Lingus, supposedly designed by him himself." Kururugi concentrated on maneuvering the MS, and without looking back, he said casually and perfunctorily, "Is the acceleration great? I think it''s okay." Correct 00 Qanta obviously didn''t want to be attached to the battle. With a strange-shaped beam rifle in its hand, it tried to distance itself from Kururugi, while moving in the direction of the Antarctic Circle. Correct Gundam D-hell flew towards 00 Qanta at full speed, its twenty tons of body constantly repeated the behavior of sharp stopping and direction changing, moving and dodging deftly in the rain of light, as if it was weightless. Correct Kururugi locked his sight on 00 Qanta, and even had the energy to look around the environment. But Iron Mask''s body was already slightly fat because of the lack of exercise in the office for a long time, and now he almost threw out his internal organs at the volley. Correct Now he finally understood how he lost to Kururugi, "This guy is not human at all!" Correct In just a few breaths, Gundam D-Hell Custom rushed to 00 Qanta. 00 Qanta changed its weapon to a large sword as soon as D-Hell approached. Correct The two MSs fought together, and all of a sudden, the sound of the clanging of weapons was incessant. Correct "The MS''s performance is extremely superior, but the pilot is not strong enough to handle it. Your habitual movements have also exposed your identity." Kururugi smiled coldly, "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei, we meet again." Correct "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei?" cried Iron Mask, startled, "Were your actions directed by Lacus Lingus?" Correct There was only silence on the public channel, and 00 Qanta''s attacks became even faster. Correct The opponent also found that Kururugi''s MS was a close-combat MS.& He tried to fly away several times, but his tries were all stopped by Kururugi. Correct "The movements have become impatient." Kururugi''s eyes suddenly sharpened, "Bind your hands, sinner!" Correct Gundam D-Hell Custom, who had the height advantage, danced its scythe blade downward and collided with the giant sword, backhanded it, and both bounced off at the same time. At this point, it was already too late to retract the sword. Gundam D-Hell Custom suddenly opened its thrusters and was pushed forward, kicking on 00 Qanta''s left arm shield. Correct 00 Qanta was like hit hard by a heavy hammer, hitting the ice below like a meteor. Correct "Sinner?" Setsuna''s stubborn voice finally echoed on the public channel, "I''m a sinner?" Correct "Yes, sinner." Gundam D-Hell Custom hovered silently in the air, holding its scythe. Kururugi looked down indifferently at the motionless 00 Qanta who was smashed into the ice rock below, "As a vassal of the previous emperor, and as a knight of Britannia''s Round Table, you committed treason, and now you attacked Britannia''s stronghold for no reason. You are undoubtedly a sinner." Correct "Britannia was harboring the angel, and the angel had to be destroyed in order to save humanity, and the result was that the angel was destroyed by me." Setsuna said word for word, "I''m doing the right thing." Correct "No more nonsense with you, there is no point. Right or wrong, Her Majesty will naturally give you a just verdict." The scythe blade in the hand of D-Hell was raised, "Surrender, sinner, your battle is over." Correct "The mission is not over, we can still fight. And I''m not a sinner, I''m ¡­" Setsuna shouted, "¡­Gundam!" Correct "Huh?" Kururugi froze in place and subconsciously glanced at Iron Mask, "What''s he talking about? Did I hear him wrong?" Correct Before Iron Mask could answer, Setsuna on the other end shouted out, "TRANS-AM!" Correct As his words fell, blood-red light particles spilled out from 00 Qanta''s shoulders and back, and in an instant, the whole MS was covered with particles, emitting an eerie red light. 00 Qanta, wrapped in light particles, slowly flew into the air under Kururugi''s watchful eye, silently confronting him. Correct "This color, this feeling ¡­" Iron Mask''s right hand held the metal helmet, his eyes incredulously gazed at the image that appeared in front of him for the third time in his life, "Lingus! There is no mistake, this feeling is definitely Lingus!" Correct "Dr. Lingus?" Kururugi tightened his grip on the joystick, "Then I have to bring him back alive to His Majesty." Correct "Suzaku, my NT ability is sending me an unprecedentedly strong alert!" Iron Mask said urgently in an unmistakably serious voice, "Retreat! Disengage! Now! Immediately!" Correct "Retreat? What kind of joke is that? How will I answer to Her Majesty if I run away from the battle?" Kururugi gave him a disdainful look, "It''s just TRANS-AM, you are too fussed." Correct At this point, the giant sword in 00 Qanta''s hand turned back into a rifle, and the black muzzle was aimed at Gundam D-Hell Custom. kururugi prepared for a white-knuckle battle against the barrage of bullets again. Correct However, in the next moment, countless particle beams roared out from the muzzle of 00 Qanta''s right arm, most of which crossed Gundam D-Hell and hit the ice and sea behind it, causing the ice to crack and the waves to tumble, with a continuous roar, as if there were dozens of battleships firing in unison. Correct Gundam D-Hell woefully flew left and right in the barrage. Its left batwing was hit by continuous shooting, and the entire left shoulder was vaporized. But no matter how hard it was, he continued to approach 00 Qanta at a speed visible to the naked eye. Correct "To this distance, then ¡­" Gundam D-Hell Custom raised its scythe, "Close combat is more favorable to me!" Correct With a flash of red light in front of his eyes, the scythe swung in vain. When Kururugi looked again, 00 Qanta was already at a distance of about 40 meters from him. The rifle in 00 Qanta''s hand turned into a huge sword and was raised high, then slashed down in Kururugi''s uncomprehending gaze. Correct Kururugi subconsciously asked the man behind him, "What is he doing¡ª" Correct Iron Mask didn''t have the time to answer him.& Without thinking about it, he jumped in front of Kururugi, skillfully opened one of the panels, and quickly "clicked" the button inside. Instantly, the cockpit of Gundam D-Hell popped out. Correct At the same moment, the light particles wrapped around the surface of the giant sword in 00 Qanta''s hand rose in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than 40 meters long. In the instant, after the cockpit ejected, Gundam D-Hell Custom was cut in two, emitting an explosion of fire and loud noise. Correct The spherical cockpit automatically opened the built-in parachute in the sky, then slowly fell to the surface of the sea floating with countless fine ice floes. The two people in the cockpit watched the sky. 00 Qanta slowly dispersed the red light, ignoring the cockpit on the surface of the sea, and directly turned away. Correct "What was that just now?" Kururugi asked dully. Correct "The feeling just now ¡­ I''m afraid is no longer the realm of the human race." Iron Mask said in a deep voice, "It''s a god, right?" Correct ¡­ Correct "We''ve got the coordinates hidden in Taiwan. It went well." Momoka on the other end of the video call had a calm look on her face, seemingly not very excited about such a smooth trip, "Modern technology relies too much on electronic devices, and thanks to Alice along the way, we avoided all the trouble." Correct "That''s good." Lacus nodded equally calmly, "What''s the location of the next coordinate?" Correct Momoka''s face showed concern, "Gabro." Correct "Oh, it''s in Britannia." Lacus also felt a bit of a headache, "Think of it, it should be there. It''s almost a full circle around the earth." Correct "It''s okay, Alice and I can work it out." Momoka''s eyes drifted down towards the screen, "I have to go take care of Alice, so I''ll hang up now, Miss Lacus." Correct "Wrong name," Lacus said with a smile. Correct "¡­Lacus." Correct "Right this time, bye." Lacus waited for Momoka to hang up, and then began to think about how to let Momoka and Alice infiltrate Britannia''s territory. Correct Time flew by in her thoughts, and several hours had passed by the time she was awakened by the report from Setsuna. She stood up and moved her body, which felt slightly stiff after sitting for so long, and then read the briefing while heading to the hangar. Correct The mission was successful, very good, I need to praise Setsuna to reinforce his current mindset. There were no casualties, and it seems to have been a very effective resource dispatch. Well, the next item is that TRANS-AM¡­ was accidentally used¡­ Correct Ten minutes later, Lacus struggled to control her body, which was gradually becoming uncontrollable, and watched in silence as Setsuna jumped out of the cockpit. Correct "Miss Lacus, the mission is complete." Setsuna''s voice was rare with a bit of joy, "The angel at the South Pole has been¡ª" Correct Slap. Correct "You used it." Lacus'' voice, however, was irrepressibly cold as Antarctic ice, "TRANS-AM, you used it." Correct "I''m sorry." Setsuna touched his cheek and immediately apologized, "The situation was urgent and I had no choice. I did use TRANS-AM." Correct "What did I say?" Lacus lowered her head slightly. Her pink hair covered her face as her shoulders trembled incessantly, "Didn''t I say, ''Never use TRANS-AM?'' Did you take my words as a whisper?" Correct "I''m sorry." Setsuna immediately replied, "It''s my fault." Correct Obviously, it was not Setsuna''s fault. Lacus was very clear that he was absolutely forced to start TRANS-AM. So the right thing to do now is to punish him a little, and then praise him, continuing to captivate his heart. It''s easy, just like she''s always done, just¡ª Correct Slap. Correct "What''s the use of being sorry!" Lacus snapped her head up and pointed at 00 Qanta, shouting hysterically, "What if the information is wrong? What if that woman lied to me? Even if she didn''t lie to me, she wasn''t in there, how would she know if it hurt or not!!!" Correct ''Shut up, Setsuna doesn''t understand what I''m saying! The secret of GN-Drive will be revealed if I continue! Lacus, you''re a skilled politician, this is an easy act, just¡­'' Correct Slap. Correct "Get out!" She growled, "Get out of here!" Correct When Lacus came back to her senses, Setsuna was gone, and she was the only one left in the empty hangar. Lacus lost all her strength and sat down on the ground, just staring at 00 Qanta in a daze. Her eyes were seemingly hollowed and devoid of any light. Correct "Ade, I''m sorry." She murmured, "I can''t do anything. It''s so funny and ridiculous that I''m still faltering and weak even though I''ve already made such a decision." Correct No one answered her, and there was only silence in all directions. Correct "Oh right, you can''t hear me, can you? What about this?" Her eyes glowed with light, "Ade, you are no longer a NewType who needs to sleep with my songs, but I have become unable to sleep without you." Correct Lacus said and crawled on her hands and knees next to 00 Qanta and leaned her back on the fuselage. Correct "Don''t worry, even if he betrays, it''s no big deal, I have other plans." Lacus whispered, "I promise you, Ade, this is the last time I''m weak, there will be no next time. I will, I will get you back." Correct Then Lacus pulled a short, chicly shaped dagger from her pocket, the blade reflecting a chill in the light in the hangar. She stroked up her sleeve and pressed the blade against her arm, the cool touch bringing a wave of peace to her heart. Correct "There is no way to prove that TRANS-AM is no harm to the souls inside it, you must be in a lot of pain. Ade, I''m sorry." Her wrist slightly moved and then a string of blood beads seeped out. The bright red color looked like the light particles when TRANS-AM started, "Ade, I''m sorry ¡­" CH 209 Chapter 209:tDouble Drives 0 Correct Thetice dometof thetunderground caverntwas limitedtin thicknesstand quicklytcollapsed undert00 Qanta''stcontinuous barrage.tWhen Kururugitreturned totthe scenetin histGundam D-HelltCustom, thetparticle beam,tas thicktas atbattleship''s maintcannon, wastre-energized fromtthe strange-shapedtweapon ont00 Qanta''stright wristtand slammedtinto thet"egg" below. 0 Correct "Thetopponent''s targettis obviouslytthe angel,tbut histidentity, sourcetof information,tand infiltrationtroute aretall suspicious."tIron Masktkindly suggested,t"Secretary Suzaku,tI suggesttyou capturethim alive,tI''m suretit won''ttbe atproblem withtyour skills,tright?" 0 Correct "The enemytshould beta heavytfirepower typetMS," Kururugitlooked attthe largetcrater thattappeared aftertthe smoketcleared withta gaze,tand thetbat wingstof thetGundam D-Helltfollowed wrappedttightly, "Oftcourse theretis notproblem!" 0 Correct The fuselagetsuddenly turnedtinto atblack shadowtand shottout, completingtthe transitiontfrom statictto dynamictin thetblink oftan eye.tIron Masktwas hitthard ontthe backtwall oftthe cockpittwith atmuffled soundtand nearlytfell apart. 0 Correct "ThistMS''s designtdidn''t considertthe pilot''stcapacity, eventI, atveteran ACE,tcan''t standtit."

Kamille easily found Shinn in the terminal and planned to sneak around and surprise him. But before he could get close, Shinn spotted him. Correct "If you''re still playing pranks, you''ll never find a girlfriend." Shinn smiled and took the luggage from him, "It''s only December, I don''t think the school is on vacation, why do you have time to come here?" Correct "I''m not on vacation, I''ll be back the day after tomorrow, I have class on Monday." Kamille smiled and followed Shinn to the parking lot, "It''s almost Christmas, I thought I''d take the time to see Grandpa, by the way, ahem, I mean by the way, don''t get me wrong, Brother Shinn, by the way, see the doctor." Correct Unlock this chapter. "You ah ¡­" Shinn slapped Kamille hard on the back, "Mr. Adrien said he never celebrates Christmas, so you better change a decent reason next time." Correct "Tsk, it''s not like he can decide it." Kamille rolled her eyes in contempt, "Ms. C.C., Ms. Lacus, Ms. Ange, and Audrey, he has to pretend to be happy whenever one of them wants to spend the holidays, or does the Doctor think he has the right to decide?" Correct "Adrien-san has done this to himself, I am not at liberty to say anything about his private life." Shinn smiled bitterly and pressed the switch on the car key, and there was a clear "beep", "But in that case, why don''t you come back at Christmas?" Correct "If I come at Christmas, will the Doctor be free to care about me? Brother Shinn, you are already a married man, how can you still ask such a silly question." Kamille leaned over and sat in the passenger seat, "Besides, I promised to accompany Fa Yuiry on Christmas Day to¡ª" Correct "Where are you going with who?" Shinn in the driver''s seat excitedly grabbed Kamille''s left arm, "Why didn''t you tell me that you have had a girlfriend? Tell me everything or I won''t pick you up the next time!" Correct "We''re just ordinary friends! Fa Yuiry just usually takes care of me, not my girlfriend. Why are you so nosy?" Kamille instantly reddened his face, and his voice became lower and lower, "Fa Yuiry seems to want to go to Strasbourg in France. I thought she usually took care of me so much, so I thought I had to repay her, hmm, anyway, that''s it. How is the Doctor recently?" Correct Shinn looked at Kamille, and wanted to laugh again, "I also have not seen Adrien-san for a while, he must be busy with dealing with the angels, right? I guess either in the lab or at His Royal Highness''s palace." Correct "Well, how about we go over to his house and have dinner?" Kamille supported his arm on the car window and looked at the sky, "I don''t want to be criticized by him, saying something like ''Why don''t you come to see me after coming to the moon?'' Besides, I also brought him a gift. He should at least invite me to dinner, right?" Correct "You should cherish that girl named Fa Yuiry, Kamille. Your character is so twisted, it''s not easy to find a girl that can endure you." Shinn looked down at the car display, "Mr. Adrien is not off work at this time. I think we should call him first. I''m driving, you call him." Correct Kamille nodded and took out his phone. He waited for a while and said with a frown, "It''s off." Correct "Probably he is doing some important work in the laboratory and can''t be distracted, in that case ¡­" Shinn looked at Kamille and helplessly smiled, "At this time, I think Miss Momoka should be at home, so we''ll just come to the door without invitation. If the Doctor is really busy, you can have dinner at my home tonight, what do you think?" Correct "I don''t have a problem with that." Kamille looked out the car window at the rapidly receding scenery, "I also don''t really want to go to see him, I just don''t want to be& criticized by him later.& Brother Shinn, you understand, these adults are too cunning, I simply can''t defend myself." Correct Shinn felt that he was about to laugh if he continued to listen, so he turned on the car radio in a panic to divert his attention, and a well-spoken voice rang out in the car, "¡­ The rebels have been stopped at the last line of defense in the royal capital of Azadistan, and according to our expert''s analysis, both sides are about to enter a strategic stalemate, logistics will be the key to victory¡­" Correct Shinn turned down the volume a bit and commented, "Azadistan is unlucky to have a civil war just after the death of the previous king. The new monarch is a good-looking girl, right? According to their kingdom''s tradition, if they lose the war, the girl will be stoned to death." Correct "They definitely can''t win, I think they are screwed." Kamille said in a rightful tone, "The Doctor hates them and Anaheim also doesn''t do business with them. They can only buy expensive wastes like RGM-79GM¢ò from the Federation, and in contrast, the rebels have a constant stream of logistics from Britannia. The government forces can only rely on that nameless ACE to& stop the rebels." Correct "You can''t be sure that Britannia is secretly supporting the rebels, right?" Shinn glared at him seriously, "Don''t talk about it outside, you''ll get into trouble." Correct "Why can''t we be sure? The old king died inexplicably, the leaders'' talks broke up, and the next day, the rebels appeared out of thin air. Were they felling from the sky?" Kamille was unconvinced, "By the way, wasn''t there a reporter who photographed the ammunition boxes with Britannia''s logo in the rebel camp?" Correct "You mean Kinue Crossroad?" Shinn sighed, "She has already apologized on social media, admitting that she deliberately created fake news with a composite photo to attract attention." Correct "Apology, huh." Kamille grinned peevishly, "If it was Minister Schneizel, this female journalist would definitely ''be suicided'', and this time, surprisingly, she didn''t die. Does it mean that the kind Queen Nunnally is finally coming to power?" Correct "I''m not sure, but I heard that the female reporter''s brother''s girlfriend is an important figure in the Halevy family, she is saved by& the Halevy family." Shinn rolled his eyes at Kamille, "If you keep talking so loudly, you''re going to be the next person ''be suicided''. Who''s going to save you out then?" Correct Kamille hesitated for two seconds, "The Doctor won''t see me die, will he?" Correct "Hahahahaha ¡­" Shinn finally couldn''t help but laugh out loud, "You can actually analyze current affairs in a serious way now, you seem to have made a lot of progress, it''s true that studying at university is useful." Correct "I know, I also enrolled in a lot of elective courses in other fields as the Doctor said. The medical courses were already very difficult, and if I hadn''t been smart, I would have died of exhaustion." Kamille slightly lowered his voice, "But the more I study, the more I feel the complexity of the world, and the more I feel ignorant. The old me only knew to yell when things happened, it is no wonder that the Doctor didn''t like¡­" Correct "It''s not right, it''s also important to keep your old self. When the day comes that you finally give in to the complex world and give in to the harsh reality, you''ll become the cunning adult in your mouth." Shinn smiled gratefully and slammed on the brakes, "Here we are." Correct After parking the car, Kamille took the wrapped gift out of his luggage and followed Shinn all the way to the front door of the Lingus residence. The doorbell rang, and after a while, the door slowly opened, appearing in front of the two of them was a cute toy bear, and an even cuter little girl stood behind the bear. Correct "Audrey? Aren''t you in school today?" Shinn asked in surprise, "And, may I ask if Miss Momoka is home?" Correct "I didn''t go to school today." Mineva replied courteously, "Uncle Ade, Sister Lacus, Sister Momoka, and Alice went away together and I don''t know when they will be back. Sister Ange is sick and still in the hospital, and Sister C.C. goes to see Uncle Loran every day for something and will be back late." Correct "Seems like we came at a bad time." Shinn was suddenly startled, "By the way, Audrey, what are you going to do for dinner? Order take-out?" Correct Mineva looked at Kamille and nodded honestly, "It''s take-out, but don''t worry, Brother Shinn, I''ll get help from adults if I''m in trouble." Correct "Well, that''s good." Shinn touched his elbow to Kamille, who was slightly lost in thought beside him, "Shall we go to my house first, then?" Correct Kamille said yes, said goodbye to Mineva, and followed Shinn to the car. After a while, Kamille suddenly shouted to stop the car. Shinn hurriedly stopped at the side of the road and turned his head to Kamille inexplicably, "What''s wrong?" Correct "I, I wanted to go down for a walk, it''s been a while since I''ve been to the moon and I wanted to take a look around, by the way, uh ¡­" Kamille scratched his head in embarrassment, "¡­ by the way, buy some gifts for Fa Yuiry, so I want to get off the car, walk alone, and go to Brother Shinn''s house tomorrow. Sorry." Correct "Oh, it''s for your girlfriend. Just tell me the reason, I thought something had happened to you." Shinn patted him hard on the shoulder, "Ok, come over tomorrow. There is no need to say sorry to me,& we are friends." Correct Fifteen minutes later, Kamille again stood in front of Lingus'' house, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door slowly opened, appeared behind the door was still the combination of the small bear and the small girl. The latter looked at him expressionlessly, "Brother Kamille, don''t do anything reasonless. The maximum penalty is death." Correct "Huh? What are you saying?" Kamille quickly shook his head, "Audrey, can you tell me where the Doctor went? Has something very serious happened?" Correct "Come in, Uncle Ade said it''s not polite to stand at the door and talk." Mineva turned sharply and walked into the house, "Brother Kamille, what do you expect to ask from a schoolgirl?" Correct "I don''t think of you as a child, you''re much more resourceful than when I was in elementary school." Kamille closed the door behind him, "And my NewType abilities have become more sensitive not long ago. Audrey, are you very worried now? Or terrified? No one can hide their negative emotions from me anyway." Correct Mineva led Kamille to sit down in the living room, and poured him and herself a glass of water as Beargguy followed Mineva every inch of the way. After everything was done, Mineva sat down across from Kamille and asked with an innocent look on her face, "What do you want to know, Brother Kamille?" Correct "We''re all NTs, so let''s not play guessing games." Kamille looked serious, "The Doctor had an accident? You just said that the Doctor and Ms. Lacus and the girls went out together, then did something happen to them all? Ms. C.C. went to see His Royal Highness every day until late, and even you stopped going to school, are you discussing countermeasures or solving problems?" Correct "Wow, Brother Kamille, you are so smart!" Mineva blinked her big eyes innocently, "Do you have Sister C.C.''s number? Go straight to her if you want to help!" Correct "I don''t really want to deal with her, she''s a little ¡­" Kamille frowned, "Uh, awkward, and I don''t know if she would tell me the truth. Audrey, you and I are both NTs, we can''t lie to each other so it''s better to ask you." Correct "I have nothing to tell you, Sister C.C. has said that this matter must be kept secret from everyone, and everyone obviously includes you, Brother Kamille." Mineva picked up her own glass of water and took a sip, "I also don''t suggest that you go to Sister C.C., Brother Kamille. There''s no point, she certainly won''t let you interfere." Correct "I don''t need to know any secrets, I just want to help! The Doctor has an accident, is it not a normal idea for me to return the favor to those who have extended a helping hand to me?" Kamille''s right hand covered his chest and he stood up excitedly, "Audrey, you are also NT, can''t understand how I feel now?" Correct Mineva didn''t answer, but closed her eyes quietly. Correct "Is it something dangerous? Is it something to do with angels? Brother Shinn is married and has a wife and sister to take care of, that''s why I lied to him, not wanting to get him involved. But it''s okay with me, I''m capable, aware, and willing to take responsibility for my choices!" Kamille''s chest rose and fell violently for a few seconds before he suddenly sat down heavily, "I''m sorry, Audrey, what am I yelling at a child for? It''s not like it''s something you can decide." Correct "Your will is recognized by me." Mineva slowly opened her eyes, revealing a mature look that didn''t match her age at all, "Being an NT is indeed a very convenient thing, just wait for me." Correct Then, as Kamille''s jaw dropped, Mineva went to the corner of the living room and took out her cell phone, muttering into the microphone for half a day. Although Kamille strained his ears to eavesdrop, he still didn''t hear a word. Correct Mineva''s phone call lasted almost ten minutes, and then she returned to her seat with a calm look, "I didn''t want to reveal my connection with my sister so early, but it''s about Uncle Ade''s safety, I can''t care much about it. Of course, Brother Kamille, if you are willing to take the blame for me, that would be better. I will say more good things for you in front of Uncle Ade in the future." Correct "What sister? Audrey, what the hell are you talking about?" Kamille was confused, "Although I really don''t think of you as an ordinary schoolgirl, this tone of voice and demeanor ¡­ uh, did the Doctor teach you it?" Correct Mineva ignored Kamille''s garbled questions and got right to the point, "In order to break Azadistan''s strategic hold as soon as possible, would you like to join the rebellion?" Correct "What?" Kamille simply thought he was losing his hearing, "Wasn''t it about the Doctor''s safety? What does it have to do with the Azadistan Civil War?" Correct "Uncle Ade is missing, someone in the Azadistan government army knows where Uncle Ade is, we need someone to pose as a rebel to bring this person back." Mineva explained, "Britannia is shot of ACEs, you came at the right time." Correct "Britannia? ACEs? Wait, let me run through that." Kamille fired up his brain quickly, "So the civil war was to capture a certain person in Azadistan but not for oil? Oh, that makes sense. Then, Audrey, you are hiding it from Ms. C.C. right?" Correct Mineva was silent. Correct "I can''t promise that I won''t snitch on Ms. C.C., and I wouldn''t hesitate to do that if things were in the Doctor''s favor." Kamille locked eyes with Mineva seriously, "Is that okay?" Correct "Yes, we make choices on the same basis, except that Sister Lacus and Sister C.C. ¡­" Mineva lowered her head sullenly, "They are not very stable mentally after Uncle Ade''s accident. I don''t think I can rely on them, but Sister Ange is in the hospital again." Correct "Anyway, let me talk to that ''sister'' of yours first, she''s the one who knows the whole story too, right?" Mineva nodded her little head under Kamille''s gaze, "I understand, my ability is limited but I will do the best I can." Correct "Brother Kamille, give me your phone number, my sister will reach out to you." Mineva shook the phone in her hand to indicate Kamille also took out his, "Brother Kamille, your tasks are probably to drive the Gundam, defeat the government forces, and catch a certain person back. We already have a specific plan to save Uncle Ade, you don''t have to worry too much, we just need manpower. " Correct "Gundam?" said Kamille, unconsciously raising his voice, "Does Britannia still have a Gundam that can be used without revealing its identity?" Correct "Yes, my sister has told me before, there are several Gundams that have not been publicly unveiled. Anyway, they are at least far better than RGM-79GM ¢ò. They can be used as secret weapons for this Azadistan civil war. What are they called ¡­" Mineva thought for a while, "I remember that one of them is called ¡­Exia?"

The paramedics waiting for him rushed forward to take off his helmet and gave him a shot into a vein in his neck. After about five minutes, Setsuna''s ghastly white cheeks gradually recovered. Correct "I''m fine." Setsuna struggled to stand up, holding onto the railing, "I must return to the battlefield immediately, has the refit not finished yet?" Correct "This RGM-79GM¢ó is close to being completely scrapped, and it is impossible to go back to the battlefield in a short time." A young woman''s voice came from behind him, "There are only so many RGM-79GM¢ós we can get by smuggling, and this is the last one." Correct Unlock this chapter. "Marina?" Setsuna wobbled and turned around, "Then let me drive RGM-79GM ¢ò. I must go back immediately, the defensive line will be lost at any time." Correct "You''ve been fighting for more than seventy-two hours! Drugs are not everything, you will die at this rate, Setsuna!" Marina''s eyes were flooded with tears, "The sun will set in half an hour, and as is customary, the rebels will stop attacking soon. The defensive line can''t be lost so soon, can it? This is an order, you are not allowed to go back to battle again today." Correct "Order? ¡­" Setsuna exhaled heavily and slid to the ground with his back against the railing, "Marina, I may not last a few days, you be ready to escape at any time. " Correct Marina dismissed the people around them with a look, straightened her skirt and sat next to Setsuna, "Even if I escape, I will find the opportunity to come back." Correct "Why?" Setsuna looked at her incredulously, "You''ll be stoned if the rebels catch you." Correct "Since I have assumed the role of the monarch, I''m responsible for carrying the fate of the kingdom. This is not a battle for you alone." Marina wiped her tears and replied with a smile, "And the rebels are not mobs, they are just incited by the hostile forces outside the kingdom. As long as we can talk, I''m sure we can find a peaceful solution, and we can all understand each other." Correct "Understand¡­ each other?" Setsuna was stunned, "Is that kind of thing doable?" Correct "Of course we can do it. I believe that deep down the vast majority of people actually yearn for peace and expect happiness." Marina lifted her hair and looked at him sideways, "Did something happen? You''ve been acting like you have something on your mind since you rushed back this time." Correct "I ¡­" Setsuna took a deep breath, "I had a fight with someone I respect." Correct Marina nodded quietly to show she was listening. Correct "I made a mistake and she was angry, but I didn''t understand why she was so angry, and she refused to tell me the reason." Setsuna continued, "Her words were vague and something was hidden from me, and I didn''t know whether to ask or not, I didn''t know how to ask. She''s also ignoring me after I came back this time, but I ¡­" Correct "But you believe her because you respect her?" Marina smiled heartily at the word "come back", "She must be a very good person to have Setsuna''s respect, why don''t you try to say these words to her yourself? Maybe after talking openly and honestly, you will be able to understand each other?" Correct "Miss ¡­ and I understand each other?" Setsuna unconsciously clenched his hands, "If that can be done¡­" Correct Marina nodded gently, just wanting to continue to say something, and was interrupted by a violent vibration from the feet. Correct "The defensive line has just been torn apart by an unknown Gundam, the enemy is coming this way." Marina quickly repeated the report she heard to Setsuna, "It will take less than five minutes to reach here, there may not be time to escape." Correct Setsuna was speechless, "Is there any more MS that can be found in five minutes or less?" Correct "As I just said, we don''t have more RGM-79GM¢ós, and all the RGM-79GM¢òs in this hangar are also sent to the front." Marina shook her head sadly, "Except for the innermost one¡­" Correct "The innermost one, understood." Setsuna decisively stopped and picked her up, "As much as it can move. I''ll get you out, for sure." Correct Marina''s face instantly turned red. Fortunately, she clearly knew that her athleticism was a liability and didn''t ask to get off Setsuna. Correct Azadistan''s army is worthy of the worst troops Setsuna has ever seen. At the moment, the hangar had been in a complete mess, and people were screaming and fleeing for their lives. Correct Setsuna, holding Marina in his arms, dashed left and right through the chaotic crowd, and snatched up a jeep. He carefully put Marina on the passenger side, jumped into the driver''s seat, and drove in the direction Marina pointed. Correct After two or three minutes of driving to the deepest part, an MS covered under black canvas appeared in their sights. Marina got out of the car and quickly rushed to the console and pressed the button, the black canvas slowly fell with her movements, while Setsuna was as if struck by a bolt of sudden lightning, freezing in place. Correct "Gun¡­" he swallowed hard, "Gundam¡­" Correct "RX-78-2 Gundam," Marina walked up to him and looked up at the MS with him, "The first Gundam built by Dr. Lingus, the first Gundam drove by Major Amuro Ray, I think." Correct "Why is it here?" That dusk flashed back in Setsuna''s mind. Correct "Originally, such an MS should be in the Federation''s MS museum, but Colonel Scirocco sold it when he cleaned up Dr. Lingus'' traces back then, after which, it went to the black market." Marina turned her head to admire Setsuna''s shocked look, "Setsuna, you often murmured ''Gundam, Gundam'' in your dreams, so I secretly bought it. Well, remember what I said before about giving you a gift?" Correct "RX-78-2 Gundam ¡­" Setsuna held out his right hand in front of his eyes, the red, blue, and white fuselage was divided into blocks of color through the gaps between his fingers, "This is a gift¡­ for me?" Correct "Yes, to thank you for everything you''ve done for me." Marina gazed at him tenderly, "It was just fixed, and then the rebellion happened. I didn''t find the right opportunity to give it to you before." Correct "Marina!" Setsuna''s sudden loud voice startled the female beside her, "I''ll go talk to her once we escape, you''re right, we''ll be able to understand each other. After I finish my mission over there, I will bid her farewell and return to fight with you." Correct Marina couldn''t help but let out a bitter laugh, "If I can get out alive." Correct "It''s going to work!" Setsuna clenched his fist in front of him. This time, it was his turn to save others, "We will live and live to seize tomorrow, this is our fight!" Correct ¡­ Correct Kamille casually cleaved the MS in front of him with the sword in his MS''s hand, glanced at the map with his afterglow, and continued on with his thrusters at full power. Correct Exia was an old MS that was designed a few years ago, but the performance was unexpectedly good. Not to mention that the enemies were all driving RGM-79GM II, and their quality as pilots was even worse. Correct He finally saw the "sister" Audrey mentioned. To be honest, he didn''t like that queen. Both of them were NTs and couldn''t lie to each other, so Nunnally simply stopped pretending to be innocent in front of him and behaved very arrogant. At least that was her image in his eyes.& Correct The most unbearable thing for Kamille was that Nunnally, when she saw him, gave him a horrible look and kept asking him meaningless questions like, "Why do you have his feelings in your spirit?" Correct But Kamille is not a fool either. Without thinking, he asked, "Both of us are NTs,& is it interesting to ask this?" Then Nunnally''s attitude became unconcealed and bad towards him. Correct "Obviously she wants to save the Doctor, but she hates him so much, but also doesn''t really hate him¡­ what a complex and twisted big sister¡­" Kamille froze, "Wait, is she younger than me?" Correct In his daze, another mass-produced MS came at him. Kamille didn''t even want to waste his time fighting, so he simply gave way to let the other party go. The other party escaped at a very fast speed. Correct "It''s not a good thing for Audrey to stay with such a woman all day. I don''t think that the Doctor wants to see her become another that kind of woman¡­" he continued to think carelessly, "But I have promised Audrey to keep it a secret, I can''t discuss it with others. Maybe I should discuss it with Fa Yuiry?" Correct Nunnally didn''t explain the whole thing to him. All he knew was that Ade and Lacus had disappeared together, and the man he was going to arrest knew where Ade was. But Kamille was not stupid, through Nunnally''s attitude, he could judge the seriousness of the matter. Correct "But I''m not a protagonist, I''m just an ordinary medical student, I don''t need to know the whole story." Kamille smiled to himself, "As long as I can save the doctor, that''s enough. When the Doctor comes back ¡ª huh?" Correct He stared dumbfounded at the MS that suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision and subconsciously rubbed his eyes. Correct "I transmigrated back to the One Year War?" He immediately slapped himself again, "How can that be! What am I thinking?" Correct An MS that looked exactly like the original Gundam was fleeing from the targeted hangar, and Kamille didn''t hesitate to give chase. Not only did it look the same as the original Gundam, but it also seemed to have the same performance, and Exia was easily able to close the distance between them. Correct Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Kamille tentatively asked on the public channel, "Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei?" Correct "Who are you?!" Correct "It really is you!" Kamille happily responded, "Seeing such a conspicuous MS, I casually asked about it. I didn''t expect to find you at once. I advise you not to make unnecessary resistance, although I don''t know if it''s genuine, I don''t want to spoil the Doctor''s first work, or I''ll be lectured again later." Correct "Sure enough, you''re Britannia''s pursuer." The Gundam gave up on running and turned to face Exia, "Starting a war just to capture me? You''re twisted!" Correct "Although I also think that''s quite radical, we can''t completely blame her, right?" Kamille stared hard at the other party''s actions, "Azadistan provoked the Federation all day, and offended the moon because of Dr. Minovsky''s death.& The domestic economy is also terrible, and the whole kingdom is simply a powder keg. You can''t say that the kingdom''s leader is not& responsible for that, right?" Correct "But it is not a reason to wage war either." Another voice rang out, "Does the road to peace not exist? Can''t nationals of the same country understand each other?" Correct "There''s a woman in the cockpit?" Kamille''s pupils widened slightly in surprise, "Forget it, there''s no time to talk such meaningless nonsense with you. My mission is to bring back the one called Setsuna¡¤F¡¤Seiei, hurry up and start the fight." Correct "You think that mutual understanding is meaningless?" This time, it was Setsuna''s cold voice, "You are indeed twisted as well. You are unqualified to drive Gundam!" Correct "The Doctor always says that we NTs are all psychopaths, huh, I don''t think so." Kamille impatiently unfolded the sword blade on the forearm of the MS, "I''m going on!" Correct "I see, you are also a distortion point of the world, and distortion points cannot understand each other." The Gundam drew its beam saber, "Your distortion will be cut off by me." Correct "Are you done?" Kamille pushed the joystick forward, "Stop your childish views! What the hell is the distortion point of the world? That kind of thing doesn''t exist, if you must say, the most twisted thing in the world¡ª" Correct Exia dodged the saber and flashed to the Gundam''s side with a speed that it couldn''t even respond to. Correct "¡ªis the world itself!" Correct The Gundam''s right arm was cut in two. Setsuna hastily pulled away and drew the beam saber with the other remaining hand, "As a distortion point, you can''t understand what Marina said about mutual understanding." Correct "Marina? That new leader of Azadistan?" Kamille couldn''t help but laugh out loud, "Mutual understanding? Major Amuro couldn''t achieve it, Char Aznable couldn''t achieve it, Dr. Lingus couldn''t achieve it, countless NTs couldn''t achieve it, and you, the one who got the kingdom into this mess, are telling me about mutual understanding?" Correct "Isn''t it your Britannia''s fault that the kingdom has become like this?" Marina argued loudly, "No matter how powerful the invaders are, Setsuna and I will fight to protect our homeland." Correct "Weak countries have no diplomacy, and those who are inferior in strength will be bullied, as the leader of a country, don''t you even understand such a simple truth? The weak are not qualified for peace, and the weak are even less qualified to understand each other!" Kamille only felt angrier and angrier as he spoke, "What do you think you can protect with your mind alone?!" Correct "Do weak countries deserve to be trampled on?" Marina''s voice was filled with resignation, "Is there no way for the weak to be happy?" Correct "I''m only a freshman, how do I know it? You''re the leader of the kingdom, right?" Exia raised its sword blade and charged at the Gundam once again, "You''re the leader of a kingdom, and you want to get an answer from a freshman? Your kingdom deserves to be destroyed!" Correct "Marina, I will not lose, because I am ¡­" The Gundam raised its beam saber and also rushed towards Exia, "¡­ I am Gundam!

We''re still on the street, you''re so unimaginative!" Fa Yuiry glared at him, "The important thing is cultural connotation, cultural connotation, do you understand?! A guy like you won''t understand, this is the stage of the third season of ''White Album''!" Correct "I must be out of my mind to watch that drama with you ¡­" Kamille rubbed his forehead with his hand, "What''s that twisted love triangle in the drama? Why don''t you go and ask the Doctor''s family gossip, let''s count how many love triangles that are? Maybe it''s even more interesting." Correct "Kamille! Dr. Lingus sponsored you to go to college, that is disrespectful!" Fa Yuiry glared at him with her arms crossed, "And you''re the one who said you wanted to watch that drama in the first place!" Correct "But I was ready to turn it off after one episode, okay?" Kamille glared back, "Besides, I was curious because it was sponsored by Anaheim Military Industries, how did I know that it''s so inexplicable?" Correct "What do you mean by saying it''s inexplicable?& ''White Album'' is clearly a very great drama. If you think it''s not good, then¡­ "Fa Yuiry froze for a second, suddenly showing a triumphant look, "Right, it''s indeed not as interesting as your Hong Kong video, right? " Correct "Sh, sh, what Hong Kong video?" Kamille gulped, a layer of false sweat instantly seeping out of his forehead, "I, I don''t know what you''re talking about." Correct "I found it in your bedroom when I was helping you clean your place, and it was in a Hong Kong video casing, so I opened it and watched it." Fa Yuiry looked at Kamille with contempt, "They are not cheap, right? You just bought them with the grant given to you by Dr. Lingus?" Correct "I¡­ I studied medicine¡­ Yes, medicine! Those are just materials for studying!" Kamille''s eyes rolled fast, trying hard to change the subject, "Oh yeah, that Yuriy, I signed for a delivery of yours before we went out, I saw the package said computer parts, so what, do you need me to help you install the computer?" Correct "Ah, ah? The delivery address is written to your place? No, no, I can handle it myself!" Fa Yuiry looked panicked for some reason. She grabbed Kamille''s arm and headed to the other side of the street, "Street, street performance is starting, Kamille, let''s go see it!" Correct The duo entered the crowd and squeezed into the front without much effort. Fa Yuiry didn''t say anything else, but showed the same enchanted expression as the other tourists around them. Correct Kamille stretched his neck in boredom and looked around, elbowing Fa Yuiry, "Yuiry, look at these people, it''s funny, a bunch of third-rate artists, and another group of uninitiated listeners. Now they are pretending to enjoy first-rate music." Correct Kamille''s voice was not too loud but also not too low, at least the people around him could hear it clearly, Fa Yuiry covered her face in despair, grabbed Kamille''s arm, and went through the crowd again. Kamille followed Fa Yuiry with a resentful look on his face and stood in front of some unoccupied window, while the latter''s face was full of helplessness. Correct "We are out to travel, not out to pick a fight, no need to make your tall tales in a crowded place." Fa Yuiry breathlessly patted Kamille''s shoulder, "I kind of know why you have not made a single friend for so long." Correct "Yuiry, get this straight, it''s not that I can''t make friends, it''s that I don''t want to, who wants to be friends with those childish brats?" Kamille slanted his eyes and skimmed his mouth, "These freshmen are as obsequious as high school students, those sophomores and juniors flaunt their authority over freshmen, and some seniors are as proud as the richest man in the Federation when they get an internship. Childish! Really childish!" Correct "That senior got an internship quota from Vist, I understand why he wanted to show off¡ª" Correct "What Vist? It''s just an obscure subsidiary of Vist. Besides, I can get in and out of Anaheim at will, have I ever bragged to anyone?" Kamille grunted disdainfully, "Fuiry, when I graduate, I will definitely not rely on the Doctor''s connections and just rely on my own ability to enter the first general hospital in the moon surface capital!" Correct Fa Yuiry laughed as she surveyed the teenager in front of her, with slightly mixed feelings. Kamille has changed so much over the past two years, so much that she sometimes barely recognizes him, but sometimes it''s as if he was still that rash young man who hadn''t changed. Correct "And that, Yuiry, I''m sorry." Kamille said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "Obviously I was accompanying you out to have fun, and again, I made the atmosphere awkward. In fact, I, uh, I encountered something and didn''t figure it out. I have been thinking about that, that''s why I was a little impatient ¡­ uh, how to say it ¡­" Correct "Forget it, Kamille, that''s just how you are. I''m used to them." Fa Yuiry''s sight swept through the cold street, stretching out her right hand and pointing a little farther away, "That girl is wearing a beautiful scarf, if you buy me an identical one, I''ll forgive you." Correct "What scarf?" Kamille followed her finger as a thick back wrapped in a scarf and hat was entering the car, "Uh, that scarf looks expensive, what if it''s a name brand?" Correct "You have money to buy so many ''Hong Kong videos'' and no money to give me a Christmas present?" Fa Yuiry shrugged, "Forget it, you spend the money of Dr. Lingus anyway. Just choosing a random scarf for me is enough." Correct "Uh-huh, good!" Kamille nodded happily, "But then again, I can''t believe people still dye their hair pink, I thought Ms. Lacus had gone out of fashion after she married the Doctor." Correct "Lacus is never out of fashion!" Fa Yuiry waved her arms, "You don''t understand Lacus'' status in the circle, she''s an unprecedented singer. As long as she''s willing to give concerts now, fans can line up from the moon to Britannia! She is like Amuro Ray, no, even higher than Amuro Ray''s status in the MS fans'' circle!" Correct "It''s too much, more popular than Major Amuro Ray ¡­" Kamille''s expression suddenly froze, then turned his head haughtily to look in the direction the car had disappeared once again, "Fuiry, there was just a NewType¡­ flashed?" Correct "Flashed? What do you mean?" Fa Yuiry couldn''t quite understand. Correct "That NT just appeared for a moment and then suddenly disappeared. With my NT accuracy, it was definitely not a delusion. Could it be a boson jumping? It can''t be." Kamille recalled carefully, "It''s a very familiar awareness but I don''t recognize, in short, a very subtle feeling, I can''t quite explain ¡ª wait!" Correct "Kamille?" Fa Yuiry touched his pale cheek with concern, "You don''t look well, did something happen?" Correct "The alarm in my head suddenly sounded very strong, damn, too bad that the Doctor isn''t ¡­" Kamille anxiously grabbed Fa Yuiry''s hand, "We immediately go back to the hotel to pack bags. The next step is to prepare for transportation, in short, to be ready to take refuge at any time, and then see if we can contact anyone. If I''m right, something bad is going to happen." Correct ¡­ Correct Lacus walked alone in the cold streets of Strasbourg, browsing aimlessly through the money-grubbing goods for tourists. At the moment, she was wrapped up in a hat, scarf, mask, sunglasses and a thick down jacket, looking like a ball from afar, and no one would ever think of associating her with the famous Lacus Lingus. Correct The private estate in the dense forest north of Strasbourg is one of Ribbon''s many secret strongholds, where she hides these days. Correct Lacus chose this location after good thoughts. First, 00 Qanta could use the Rhine channel to facilitate a rapid transfer. Second,& this is a tourist city, an outsider won''t look suspicious here. Correct Most importantly, if she is really found, these people who are looking for her are likely to be tied up because of the dense population of this place, thus giving her enough reaction time and ample room for countermeasures. Correct "Fuiry, when I graduate, I will definitely not rely on the Doctor''s connections and just rely on my own ability to enter the first general hospital in the moon surface capital!" Correct Lacus glanced at the boy across the street who was making a lot of noise, and calmly moved on. Ade always talked about the "malice of the world", and C.C. often said the same under his influence, and now, even Lacus herself couldn''t tell if this was just a coincidence or not. Correct "In fact, think about it, we have all been helped by Ade, and Ade also saved the world for several times. So¡­" She smiled and took out the keys to open the car door, "It''s not too much to ask the human race to help Ade once, right?" Correct Lacus took off her gloves and tossed them on the passenger side, moved her frozen fingers, and then slowly started the car. But there was one more thing she had to do before she entered the forested area. Correct The dimly lit compartment was splashed with a flash of color. Recovered Lacus rubbed between her eyebrows and sighed quietly, "Nunnally is really smart¡­" Correct The alarms in her head were ringing wildly, meaning that the manor where she was hiding was about to be, or was being, invaded. The other side chose today, the day with the most visitors, which means that the other side can''t wait any longer. As soon as they get the news, they immediately came here, then the identity of the visitor is also very easy to guess. Correct "C.C¡­." Lacus murmured the name, "Just a minute, I''ll be right there to pick you up so we can be together again as a family for Christmas¡­" Correct As she expected, Nunnally passed the information to Mineva, who then told C.C. her location, and C.C. threw herself into the net as she planned. In fact, such a complex ruse was not her intention, only the product of a whim under the instigation of Nunnally. Even if it doesn''t work, she also has another way to lure C.C. over. Correct Time flew by as she thought, and it wasn''t long before the car reached the edge of the forested area. But instead of entering it, Lacus drove to one of her warehouses by the Rhine, where 00 Qanta had been kept. There was no evidence that C.C. had come alone, and it was not surprising if she raid the hideout with a team of special forces. Lacus would not be foolish to go back. Correct Being defeated by an absolutely violent power is her favorite and most hated routine. Correct But when she sat in 00 Qanta''s cockpit, a shocked expression finally appeared on her face. The main screen of the cockpit showed the image of the manor, the strongest MS of the moon government was standing in front of the gate of a private house in France. If this scene was spread out, the world would be in an uproar. Correct "Nunnally''s interference, Mineva''s dictatorship, and Loran''s determination? ¡­" She showed a smile that even she didn''t notice, "Ade, it seems I''ve missed the mark.

Thanks a million! Publish Time: 2022-04-11 12:55:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 214: The Other Side of Tears Correct C.C. looked through TurnA''s main camera at the gorgeous and unpretentious establishment in front of her and couldn''t help but be slightly lost in thought. It''s no wonder they couldn''t find Lacus even after using all their intelligence networks. If it wasn''t for Nunnally''s notification through Mineva''s mouth, she and Loran wouldn''t have known until now that Lacus had taken over the entire remnants of Ribbon''s forces. Correct Like this hidden and convenient stronghold, only God knows how many more Lacus has on hand. Correct "You''re spoiling her too much, Ade¡­" She dropped her eyes sadly, "It''s okay, I''ll be right there to fix it all." Correct Unlock this chapter. From her appearance until now, it had been for a while. C.C. didn''t deliberately hide, she believes that Lacus, whether she was in the building at the moment or not, must have found TurnA. Correct After making her final mental preparations, she tuned her communications to the Lunar Force''s dedicated channel, took a deep breath, and declared in a cold voice, "Lacus, I know you hear me. Appear in front of me immediately or I will activate Moonlight Butterfly. 00 Qanta has a nanobot coating on its surface, so you won''t die. But the death of others is none of my business." Correct After saying this, C.C. shut up and waited quietly, because both she and Lacus knew she would really do it if Lacus kept hiding. C.C. couldn''t find any reason not to use Moonlight Butterfly. Correct As if to confirm her prediction, a high-heat reaction appeared on the radar not far from her, which was undoubtedly the power furnace of an MS. C.C. flew slowly and unhurriedly that way, and it didn''t take long for the two MSs to see each other in the sky above the forest, unsurprisingly. Correct "I thought you would take the risk to come here alone, after all, you tend to lose your mind when it comes to Ade." Lacus chuckled, "Let me guess, did Mineva think you were unreliable and bypassed you to inform His Highness Loran directly?" Correct "There''s no point in talking about it now, Lacus," C.C. said with a gaze, "I can understand how you feel, no, I understand it better than anyone in the world, but because of that, I have an obligation to stop you ¡ª not for anyone, but for Ade. So today, here, let''s end this out-of-control drama." Correct "To end this out-of-control drama? It''s true. Momoka and Alice are not here, plus the performance gap between the two MSs¡­," Lacus sighed exaggeratedly, "It seems that my life is like a candle in the wind." Correct As Lacus said, C.C. had no intention of fighting with her from the beginning. With TurnA, she was amp; literally invincible. Correct C.C. raised the beam rifle and aimed it at the MS in front of her, "So do you have a back plan now? " Correct "There is no need for a back plan to deal with you, of all the people in the family, your reaction is easiest to guess. " Lacus whispered with a smile, "C.C., blindly believing in the power of weapons is not good, after all, the user of weapons are still humans, and humans will be affected by various factors. " Correct "Stop bluffing. " C.C. gently rested her index finger on the trigger, "Lacus, I''m asking you one last time, come back with me, okay? Ange might be waking up soon too, we can take our time and figure it out together. " Correct "I remember I already told you when I left, come to me after you have found the solution, in that case, I will surrender immediately. " 00 Qanta put the shield across its body, "By the way, Ade is in here, you should be careful. " Correct "You ¡­! " C.C. threw away the beam rifle, drawing out the beam saber. TurnA''s rifle was too powerful, she simply don''t dare to risk firing. Correct "So you see, that''s the end of your will, isn''t it? " The iridescent light in Lacus'' pupils abruptly lit up, "Trans-AM. " Correct Dazzling light particles spurted out from 00 Qanta''s shoulders and back, instantly turning the pitch-black space into a blood-red color, and the two MSs, which were mainly blue and white in color, looked eerie under the reflection of the light particles. Correct A chill rose from C.C.''s tailbone straight to her head, then slowly descended and spread throughout her body, and the only thing left was only endless trembling, "Are you crazy ¡­ are you crazy? Lacus!!! " Correct "Am I crazy? Good question. To be honest, I''m not unsure. " Lacus was silent for a moment, "But don''t worry, I''ll punish myself for what I did now. " Correct 00 Qanta lifted Sword IV, the blood-red light blade extending from the tip and cutting through the night sky. Correct "But then again, why are you so calm? " Lacus remained silent. 00 Qanta suspended in place, without the intention of attacking, "You think you have enough time to wait? It is possible, but I can''t wait, I want to see him and touch him now, right now, this minute, this second, I can''t wait for the next ten years or a hundred years. " Correct "Shut up! " C.C. hissed and growled, "What right does a woman like you deserve to say it? amp; You are using him to activate Trans-AM! Do you think that committing such a sin can be forgiven? Do you think making this choice can be understood?! " Correct "I don''t expect anyone''s forgiveness, nor do I pray for anyone''s understanding. Well ¡­ I don''t need Ade''s either, I just selfishly want him back. " Lacus exhaled heavily, "Women are selfish creatures, you must also understand, right? " Correct "Yes, I understand how you feel. " C.C. stopped the trembling of both wrists under repeated deep breaths and regained control of TurnA, "But I can''t accept it. Ade would never want you to do something like this, and I have to stop you. " Correct "That''s why Ade loves you so much, you can still think of him in such an extreme situation. This is what I can''t do. " Lacus laughed out self-deprecatingly, "Unlike my twisted emotions, you and he are simply two lonely souls who finally met each other in the endless time and space, such pure love ¡­ " Correct As Lacus spoke, C.C. opened the thrusters and flew at her at full speed. TurnA, as if ignoring the rules of physics, turned into a stream of light. Correct "¡­ makes me feel a little envious. But you finally gained your happiness after so many difficulties¡­ " TurnA''s beam saber hit an invisible wall, inspiring a burst of blood ripples,. "¡­Do you want to become alone again? " Correct "¦Ë-drive? " Without hesitation, C.C. pulled away slightly and adjusted the output of the beam saber, "It''s useless, you don''t understand how terrifying TurnA''s performance is. " Correct "It''s not ¦Ë-drive, don''t you see, C.C.? " Lacus sighed lightly, "It''s AT Field¡­ " Correct "What? " C.C. suddenly froze, "Ade¡­ he''s protecting¡ª " Correct The blood-red sword aura rose against the wind, and before C.C.''s brain could react, the core fighter, which was TurnA''s cockpit, was cut off by the roots from the fuselage. Correct "Remember what I just said? " Lacus raised the cockpit in 00 Qanta''s hand and looked at the glimmer of green inside. She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Your reaction is easiest to guess. " Correct ¡­ Correct People in the city were quickly awakened by the sudden sound of sirens and scattered in a panic. As the French government issued an immediate evacuation notice, tourists and locals scrambled into underground shelters under the direction of the police. Correct Kamille, who was in a hurry and didn''t find transportation, looked up the location of the entrance to the underground bunker on the Internet in advance and waited at the entrance with amp; Fa Yuiry amp; early. The entrance just opened and the two people hurriedly entered it, sitting at a comfortable corner to wait for the latest news. Correct The bunker was built during the One Year War, and now the lighting was in a dire state. Kamille''s face looked somewhat grim against the glow of the phone, "It''s an urgent announcement from His Highness Loran. The terrorist group led by Ribbons Almark has seized Anaheim''s latest MS, and the Lunar side has sent TurnA to snatch it back. " Correct "Ribbons Almark again? " Fa Yuiry''s face was full of indignant, "How come all the bad things in the world are done by him? Why is such a bad person in the world? " Correct Kamille glanced at Fa Yuiry with a desire to speak, and finally could only shake his head helplessly and choose silence. He doesn''t want to involve the girl in the world over there. Correct "What about the message to the moon side? " Fa Yuiry asked worriedly, "Did anyone reply? " Correct "No, Brother Shinn and Brother Uraki and the others are not clear about the situation, it seems that things are so serious that even they are excluded. " Kamille frowned bitterly, "The few people who might know the truth are completely ignoring me and won''t answer me. Even TurnA is out in force, what the hell is going on ¡­ " Correct "Kamille¡­ " Fa Yuiry looked at his side through the faint light and worriedly held his left hand. Correct "It''s the most painful when you want to do something but you can''t do anything about it. " Kamille squeezed his phone tightly, "Doctor, what should I do, Dr. ¡­? " Correct He suddenly raised his head to face the north. His mouth grew wide, and his face was full of shock. Fa Yuiry shouted at him worriedly, but he didn''t respond. Correct "Yuiry, I''ll leave for a moment, you stay here! " After saying this, he hurriedly stood up and moved towards the exit of the bunker against the dense crowd. Correct The bunker was full of people and it took Kamille a lot of effort to squeeze his way to the exit. The police were doing their best to control the crowd and had no time for him. Kamille ignored the police and found a bike on the street, speeding off in the direction he had sensed. Correct "It''s the Doctor, it must be the Doctor! " He looked at the distant fire and muttered to himself, "But what is this condition? The Doctor''s sense, it''s almost like, it''s almost like ¡­ a baby? " Correct The consciousness in his senses is undoubtedly Ade, but Ade seems to have no self-awareness. He doesn''t respond to Kamille, but only expresses a very vague emotion, which makes Kamille first associate with a baby who has not yet learned to speak, only babbling. Correct And the NT he sensed was surprisingly at Ade''s side, but no matter how Kamille called the person in the NT mind space, the person just ignored him. Correct "What the hell is going on ¡­! " Kamille gritted his teeth and pedaled, "Gotta catch up! " Correct With a desperate effort, the bike soon entered the forested area. Soon after the road came to an end, he dropped the bike and began to run wildly against the wind. The roar of MSs gradually became clearly audible. Correct By the time Kamille passed through the dense forest, the view finally opened up, the sound in the ears had completely stopped, as if nothing had happened. Correct "Ah ¡­ " Kamille froze in place and couldn''t move, only able to let out a low murmur repeatedly, "Ah ¡­ ah ¡­ " Correct In front of him, in the violently damaged forest, TurnA fell in the dirt, with the beam saber and beam rifle scattered all over the place. At the other end, a blue-and-white MS stood quietly on the ground, holding TurnA''s core fighter in its hands. With Kamille''s excellent eyesight, he could vaguely see a flash of green in the cockpit. Correct But the most important thing is the slowly dissipating, blood-red light particles around the strange MS, and the feeling of the soul at the source of the light particles. Correct "It can''t be true¡­ " Kamille stumbled backward and kept shaking his head in disbelief, "No way, it can''t be true¡­ " Correct "Sadly, that''s the way it is. " Lacus'' gentle voice rang out in his head, "Smart as you are, you must have guessed that I''m doing something very terrible, right? After all, His Highness Loran even sent TurnA to stop me. " Correct Lacus'' cold, determined will made all the small details seem unimportant, and Kamille instinctively grasped what had probably happened. Correct "Why? " Kamille''s eyes were wide open, "Can''t you hear him?! The Doctor¡­ he''s crying! " Correct "I hear him, but even so, I have to, will, and must continue, in order to create a world where he can live well. " Lacus responded with a smile, "I am such a selfish, capricious and dangerous woman, he should have been ready to take such risks when he decided to be with me, right? " Correct "If you choose the wrong path, you won''t be able to go where you want to go! " Kamille roared, "No one will be happy in a world that makes the Doctor so sad! " Correct "First, you have to be alive, then you would be able to talk about happiness, right? What''s more, a woman who has lost her husband can''t think about such complicated issues, and there''s no point in us arguing any further. " Lacus said softly, "Thank you for scolding me last time, so that Ade and I could make up, but this time ¡­ is different. " Correct Kamille anxiously looked at TurnA on the ground. Even its cockpit was demolished, it is impossible to do anything now. Correct "Since all the purposes of this trip have been accomplished, I''ll take my leave for now. " The strange MS raised the core fighter in its hand, "By the way, there''s one more thing I need your help with, and that''s why I''m waiting for you here. Could you please tell Audrey, and let her tell Ange when she wakes up, that if I''m really wrong¡ª " Correct The MS rose up and disappeared into the night sky. Correct "¡ªPlease do your best to stop me.

The effects of the drug had not yet passed, let alone move or even resist, she was completely unconscious from the neck down and could only let Momoka do whatever she wanted with her body. Correct "Alice has arrived in Torrington." Momoka said to Lacus without looking back while carefully cutting open C.C.''s belly, "She is now very accustomed to human society. Although I''m still a little worried, I think she should be able to do it alone, it''s just a matter of time to get the Box of Laplace." Correct "I trust your judgment." Lacus watched expressionlessly as Momoka reached into C.C.''s stomach and pulled something out, "I''m sorry to call you back so suddenly, but I really have no one else to trust." Correct Unlock this chapter. "It''s okay, it''s my duty, as long as the master can come back." Momoka said and took out a small signal generator from C.C.''s abdominal cavity and put it aside, then straightened up and clapped her hands briskly, "Check is done, this is the last one, so I''ll go turn off the Minovsky particle generator in the operating room?" Correct "Well, please." Lacus gave a slight nod of greeting to Momoka who left the operating room with the electronic device, and turned her head to look at C.C., "Do you think you''re particularly clever? Hiding the signal generating device in your stomach, and then you can let His Highness Loran and the others catch me?" Correct "I didn''t expect you to be so well-equipped here, nor did I expect you to be so astute." C.C. coldly locked eyes with her, "I''m so stupid, really." Correct "Because if I were you, I would do it." Lacus scratched C.C.''s nose affectionately, who turned her head away with a displeased look, "Do you know? I became an INNOVATOR here." Correct "That''s a real congratulations, after all, Innovator is super awesome." C.C. twitched the corners of her mouth with a leathery smile, "Lacus, let me ask you, is Trans-AM any good?" Correct "Look at you, you''re doing it again." Lacus shook her head helplessly, "Always sealing yourself up with a thick shell, making a strong and incomparable appearance in front of people, and only using twisted means to express your emotions." Correct C.C. gave a sneer at Lacus. Correct "For example, you''re actually envious of Ange for Ade brushing her hair every day, right?& If you want it, just say it out yourself, just like Ange. But you didn''t, but you just sneered at them and make Ade and Ange feel embarrassed. Why necessary?" Lacus blinked, "Ade is very low on emotion, if you said no, he would really think that you don''t need it." Correct "What exactly are you trying to say?" C.C. interrupted her impatiently, "To alleviate your guilt by counting me out?" Correct "I just want you to know that if something goes wrong, Ade will figure it out, I''ll figure it out if he''s not there, and Ange will figure it out if I''m wrong, so you don''t really have to strain yourself so much, just leave it to us. If you get a chance to go home, you can reconsider your role positioning." Lacus looked complicated and laughed softly, "I probably don''t have another chance, I hope you still have a chance ¡­" Correct C.C. sniffed into silence, and her eyes became slightly softer. Correct "By the way, there is one last thing." Lacus turned around and disappeared into the dead center of C.C.''s vision, returning shortly with a tube of orange liquid, "Look what this is." Correct "¡­ you''re crazy." C.C. found her voice shaking. Correct "Don''t be ridiculous, it''s not Ade that''s in here, it''s Lillith." Lacus raised the container in her hand and shook it symbolically, "Ade is kept in a safe place and will never have to be put into MS again, you don''t have to worry." Correct "Heh, I thought you were going to use Ade to fight angel," C.C.''s gaze was icy, "You finally can''t stand the condemnation of conscience?" Correct "My conscience? ¡­ It was indeed planned that way, but since Nunnally offered to help me kill the last angel, I decided to give her a chance." Lacus padded her arm behind C.C.''s head, "Stop it, drink up." Correct Before C.C. had time to protest, Lacus forced Lillith''s LCL down her throat without a word. Correct The sticky liquid slid down the throat into the esophagus, then continued to move down to the stomach. Just when C.C. thought the LCL would be decomposed by the stomach acid, she was shocked to feel the liquid ooze out of the stomach wall and travel towards the pelvic cavity as if it had self-awareness, finally converging in the organ that had no meaning to her. Correct "It''s amazing, isn''t it?" Lacus tenderly stroked C.C.''s bare belly, "For the souls living in LCL, they are like beings that haven''t formed a fertilized egg yet, right? So they instinctively crave to gain a form, even Lilith." Correct "What are you up to here?" C.C. was abruptly alerted, "Something to do with your so-called Human Instrumentality Project?" Correct "Who knows?" Lacus gave a mysterious faint smile, "In order to prevent you from escaping or messing up, I''ll have Momoka put you in a restraint suit later, so you can rest for a while now." Correct After saying that, Lacus ignored her, picked up the clean sheet and covered C.C. with it, then turned around and left in style. Outside the operating room, she closed the door and saw Momoka walking toward her with a white gown in her hands. Correct "Lacus, are you done with her already?" Momoka jogged all the way to her, "Those things have been disposed of, and the Minovsky particle generator has been turned off." Correct "I''m really sorry to keep making you do such trivial things." Lacus showed a look full of apology, "And after that, I have to let you die." Correct "It''s okay, it''s the maid''s duty, as long as the master can return." Momoka smiled and cocked her head, the ahoge hair on her head swayed along with the movement of her head, "Lacus, we''ll make it, right?" Correct "It will be." Lacus took Momoka''s hand and looked earnestly into her eyes, "Your sacrifice will not be in vain, I promise you." Correct ¡­ Correct "You''re doing very well." Kaworu Nagisa put his hand over Shinji''s, "You''ve mastered this piece by Liszt very well, why don''t we try Beethoven together next time? I have a friend who is a great believer in Beethoven, and if I ever see him again, I would love to have him hear us play together." Correct "Your friend?" Shinji blushed slightly, "Performing for someone ¡­ my level is so bad that it will definitely embarrass you, right? What do I have to do to play as well as you do?" Correct "There is no need to deliberately play better," Kaworu Nagisa smiled and shook his head, "It is enough to press the keys and make the instrument sound beautiful as you wish." Correct "Then, then I want to make the sound I play even better!" Shinji looked away in embarrassment and peeked back again, "Kaworu-kun, do you have an idea?" Correct "Then you''ll just have to practice, keep connecting and become more proficient." Kaworu Nagisa lifted his hand and cupped Shinji''s chin to wrench his face back, "I''ll keep practicing with you until you can play notes that will amaze even him, as long as I live." Correct "You''re saying these strange things again, live and die ¡­" Shinji puffed out his cheeks in slight displeasure as he peeled away Kaworu Nagisa''s hand, "Or are all NewTypes like you? You know, I only know you as an NT, except ¡­" Correct "Your mother?" Correct "Hmm." Shinji lowered his head and responded in an inaudible voice, "My father said she was also an NT, but died shortly after I was born. If she''s still alive, I wonder ¡­" Correct "If she were still alive, she would have been an emotional person too, wouldn''t she?" Kaworu Nagisa looked at the black and white keys and was slightly lost in thought, "Very intelligent, very gentle, very decisive, and must have loved you very much. Because of her strong NT ability and extraordinary personality, she was easy to be attracted by other NTs, and has her own unique view on life and death. She was quite an interesting person." Correct Shinji''s mouth opened wide in shock, "Kaworu-kun, you talk as if you''ve met her ¡­" Correct "That''s too much, how is that possible?" Kaworu Nagisa smiled and patted Shinji''s back, "It''s late, hurry back, Miss Asuka should still be waiting for you at school, right?" Correct "Oops, I totally forgot about that! Asuka!" Shinji popped up from his chair and ran, "I''ll be off, see you later, Kaworu-kun!" Correct "Ah, goodbye." Kaworu Nagisa''s slender fingers brushed the black collar around his neck, "Someone''s waiting for me, and I have to get going." Correct By the time he finished packing up the piano and music, cleaning the music room, and finally arriving at the deserted beach, the sun was about to set. The water and the sky were dyed golden together by the afterglow of the sunset, and it was impossible to see the dividing line. Correct The person waiting for him saw him coming and took off her sunglasses and put it in her jacket pocket, revealing her blue-gray eyes underneath. Correct "I thought it was Ade who contacted me?" said Kaworu Nagisa, looking around with his hands in his trouser pockets, "If you''re not lying to me, then he''s shielding himself with Geass on at the moment and quietly hiding behind some boulder to listen in on our conversation? I didn''t know he had that kind of interest." Correct "He''s already here, right in front of you." Lacus fondled the metal container in her arms, "He''s in here." Correct Kaworu Nagisa was gape-mouthed and didn''t know how to react for a moment. Correct "If you ask Ikari Yui, she''ll probably tell you, I wouldn''t joke about such things." Lacus''s eyes glistened with tears, "Ikari Yui and Dr. Aeolia both said it was hopeless, now only you are left, do you ¡­ you have a way to change him back?" Correct "I can''t believe it''s turned out like this¡­" Kaworu Nagisa looked up at the sky, "I''m sorry, there''s nothing I can do about it, and no life form on Earth has the ability to change him back. More simply put, in this story, he retired early." Correct Lacus''s pupils contracted violently, her eyes gradually reddened, and her breathing became rapid. She panicked and took out her sunglasses and put them back on herself, but her voice had become a little choked up at the moment, "So it is ¡­ I see ¡­ then ¡­ sorry ¡­ goodbye ¡­" Correct "Just a moment." Kaworu Nagisa rubbed his nose, "I know it''s a bit cruel to ask you to recall the painful experience again, but can you tell me if you were with him at the end? How did he behave? What did he say? I need answers from ¡­ him." Correct "Ade ¡­ Ade acted so contentedly." Lacus clung to the container, hissed, and replied, "He usually always complained that he instinctively loved himself and was forced to love the world, like an actor on stage, who was not in control of himself, and sometimes, he& didn''t even know if his love and friendship were real ¡­ " Correct "That''s why I said we''re a lot alike ¡­" Kaworu Nagisa laughed dumbly, "actors." Correct "He became like this to save C.C. C.C. told me that he said that this was the only choice he made, that it was done of his own will, that it was true freedom, so he was very content and had nothing to regret ¡­" Lacus trembled and covered her mouth, "He said that even death is freedom ¡­" Correct "It seems that he found the answer¡­" Kaworu Nagisa sighed, "Only death is freedom ¡­ " Correct Lacus remained motionless in her original position. Correct "I finally understand. Then, please give me freedom ¡­" Kaworu Nagisa''s mouth rose slightly with a smile full of sarcasm, "Do you think I would say that, you actor?

Publish Time: 2022-04-13 12:55:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 216: No Longer Human Correct Momoka''s greatest wish is to die. Correct Since she could remember, she had been taught the concept of "sacrificing for Angelise", so death was not something terrible to her. But if she really had to die, she wanted to find a reason that she could accept with pleasure. And fortunately, she finally found it. Correct Momoka is quite self-aware of her position in the Lingus family - her relationship with Ange is not an ordinary employment relationship, but a lifelong contract of soul. Correct Unlock this chapter. Although Ange said that Momoka was an important friend, it was only a condescending charity like "since you are so loyal, I can treat you as a friend" that Ange herself didn''t realize. The wonderful friendship between master and servant is something that exists only in literature, but in real life, origin, education, and the deep-rooted worldview that follows will play a decisive role. Correct But she doesn''t blame Ange for this, and is even grateful for her so-called "friendship". Because she also grew up in such an environment, she takes it all for granted. And everyone else, including Mineva, seems to ignore the fact that she is also a cute young girl in her youth, treating her like a dispensable household appliance. Correct She has no regrets about the fact that she will be tied to the Lingus family until the end of her life and that there will never be a second way out. Correct Then Ade screwed it all up. Correct Lacus and C.C. both have similar experiences to Ange and are used to Momoka''s presence, only Ade is unable to understand the concept of "Your Highness''s chief maid". Correct "Servant or whatever is just a nice way of saying that, I am just a slave, why doesn''t he understand such a simple truth?" Momoka asked herself countless times. Correct Ade had been persistently making awkward efforts to reach a "normal" relationship with Momoka, but Momoka didn''t understand what a "normal" relationship is, and in her worldview, that kind of thing doesn''t exist. Correct Does Ade want her mating rights? Ange had already given it to him long ago. Does Ade want Momoka to woo him? But maids are not allowed to court, and there is no room for Momoka in this already crowded household. Correct She doesn''t need a friend, she doesn''t need a lover, she just needs a master. But Ade doesn''t even give her that chance. He cruelly refuses to be her master, and even asks her to call him by his first name when they are alone. Correct To her, Ade''s tender treatment was nothing but torture, and every day that passed only made her suffer more. Correct She is not Lacus or Ange, she is just a young girl with a twisted education. She doesn''t want Ade to see her hysterical and tragic appearance after her soul collapses. She doesn''t want Ade to feel guilty for the rest of his life for a mistake he didn''t intend to make, so she hopes she can die worthily before that day comes. Correct It would be ideal to die to protect Ade if she could, but Ade was too strong and would solve any problems on his own, and there was nothing Momoka could do. So she tried to deliberately overstep the mark in front of Ange and the girls, making an obvious act of betrayal, and maybe C.C. or whoever would kill her out of jealousy. Correct But it proved futile, no one cared about her betrayal, the masters didn''t even feel the slightest threat from her, and her behavior was as comical as a clown. She was such a small, humble, unworthy secondary role, Momoka once again recognized her own position. Correct Until Lacus gave her this opportunity. Correct Momoka vividly remembered Lacus approaching her for the first time, "I want you to die so that Ade can come back, isn''t that two birds with one stone?" Lacus said so to her. In that moment, she understood that Lacus was the only one who understood her. "With pleasure!" She replied quickly and without thinking about it. Correct Lacus also rejected Momoka''s use of honorifics for her because she was not Momoka''s master. Lacus also gave her the opportunity to die for Ade, and she would in a sense live forever in Ade''s heart. And Ange and Ade would live happily ever after, in a world without her. Correct Could there be a more wonderful future than this? No. This is the last train to the kingdom of happiness. All she needed to do was to exchange her life for Kaworu Nagisa''s, and that was all she had to do. Correct According to Lacus, the Angel of Freedom, despite having the strongest AT field, is the weakest ANGEL because his body is nothing more than an ordinary human. Cutting off his head, stabbing through his heart, blood loss, all the methods that can kill humans are able to kill him, so even a dispensable character like Momoka has a chance to make her death worthwhile. Correct "Do you think I would say that, you actor?" Correct Kaworu Nagisa''s voice brought Momoka''s attention back to reality - through the miniature camera and microphone worn by Lacus, she could clearly observe their movements even while hiding at the bottom of the sea in a Jegan. Correct The development didn''t seem promising, but that was in Lacus'' plan. The Angel of Freedom and NT are very similar in that they are both extremely sensitive creatures mentally, it''s not surprising that he could find that this was a trap. Correct "I have to admit that your acting is excellent, but unfortunately, you don''t grasp the soul of the work and the character, and the specious lines really make me laugh." Kaworu Nagisa in the camera was full of playfulness as he ripped the black collar around his neck, "Besides, you seem to have some misunderstanding about we angels. I''m not a flawed creature like NT, do you think that I didn''t notice such a big piece of junk?" Correct The water surface was cut in half by an invisible blade, revealing a Jegan hidden beneath. 20 tons of metal was effortlessly grabbed and carried by an invisible hand as if it weighed nothing. Correct Lacus removed her sunglasses with hatred, reluctantly biting her lower lip with her upper teeth, watching helplessly what was happening in front of her. Correct "I was expecting Ade to give me answers, or at least a wonderful death, it seems that I can''t wait." Kaworu Nagisa looked sadly at the Jegan and shook his head, "Something like that can''t kill me. You guys have to work harder to do that." Correct The Jegan was easily twisted into a lump of iron by the incredible force, making unbearable noise. Then the rag was broken and torn off by the invisible hand, revealing the cockpit that was squeezed broken. Correct After the cockpit was also torn apart at will, Momoka, whose face and body were covered with blood, was hanging in the air by the AT field, with her right arm bent at a strange angle, looking like a broken doll that had been tossed out of some corner. Correct "Still alive?" Kaworu Nagisa laughed contemptuously and turned to look at Lacus, "I have always had a soft spot for Lilin, who has a noble soul, and a respect for the genius who created classical music, but your underhanded way of using even Ade''s death really makes me sick." Correct "I can''t help it, I''m such a mean person." Lacus tenderly stroked the container in her arms, "Before I die, I want to ask you one last thing, can I?" Correct "Still stalling?" Kaworu Nagisa raised an eyebrow, "Say." Correct "Please keep Ade safe, I''m afraid he''ll be taken by a deranged scientist or organization and used for experiments." Lacus flicked forward, "Please." Correct Just as Kaworu Nagisa''s eyes involuntarily followed the container, he heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground and the sound of brisk footsteps. He immediately understood that his AT field failed, but the opponent''s movement was so fast that even a momentary distraction was fatal, and by the time he tried to use the AT field to protect himself, it was too late. Correct The pain in his chest made him lower his head, and the sharp knife from his heart spoke silently of the cause. Lacus didn''t panic and jogged two steps to catch the container she had thrown, with a seven-colored shimmer in her eyes. Correct "So that''s how it is, worthy of the woman Ade likes¡­" Kaworu Nagisa smiled and closed his eyes, "Shinji, I''m missing my appointment¡­ ¡­" Correct The exhausted Momoka could not hold on any longer and hit the ground backwards with a muffled thud, but with a bright smile on her face like an innocent girl. Correct She had never been so grateful for the skills she had been forced to learn to protect Her Highness Angelise, without which, she would not have been able to preserve maximum mobility and deliver a fatal blow before Kaworu Nagisa reacted, and most importantly, without which, she would not have been able to endure the ravages of nanobot on her flesh while still maintain her sanity. Correct Although the pain of the mind is a little more painful, that doesn''t mean that the body doesn''t hurt, right? Well, it still hurts, and Momoka is on the verge of not being able to take it anymore. Correct "Lacus," she let out a weak voice as she looked at the pink figure slowly walking in, "Can I ¡­ go to hell now?" Correct "No way." Lacus looked at the iridescence in Momoka''s eyes with a mischievous smile, "I''m sorry I lied to you, you''re not allowed to die yet." Correct "This also ¡­ cough ¡­ can''t be determined by you, right ¡­" Momoka licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, "The Innovator is ¡­ designed by based on the Coordinator and NT ¡­ I¡­ as an inferior¡­ my service life¡­ cough ¡­ almost reaches the limit ¡­ it won''t take long before ¡­ my Genes completely collapses ¡­" Correct "That''s not necessarily." Lacus squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe up the blood stain at the corner of Momoka''s mouth, "Some nasty woman has the latest relevant technology on hand, and she could save you. Your mission is over, I will immediately send you back to the moon, you can be saved in time." Correct "Why ¡­?" Momoka struggled to sit up, "I just ¡­ cough ¡­ just want to die for the master. Is this¡­ also ¡­ not allowed? " Correct "Sorry, you''re not allowed to die." Lacus held Momoka down with one hand and took out her cell phone with the other to start contacting her men, "Ade isn''t very good at taking care of himself and neither is Ange. Once thinking that these two would make a mess of the house and drink nutrient solutions at meals every day, it makes me feel helpless. So you must continue to take care of Ade, and I can''t trust anyone else." Correct "That''s true, after all, slavery is ¡­ ahem ¡­ lifelong ¡­" Momoka desperately closed her eyes, "There is no relief ¡­" Correct "In fact, you don''t need to think so complicated, just force to push Ade down. After obtaining your virginity, he will naturally be responsible for that, and he will agree to everything you want." Lacus ignored Momoka''s panicked look and patted her cheek affectionately, "Congratulations on passing the exam, just leave the back to me alone." Correct ¡­ Correct Ange had a strange dream, she dreamed that she became a dragon, trapped in a huge transparent vessel, unable to move, extremely uncomfortable. After a long time, the vessel was broken and Ange was finally free to soar in the sky. Although she experienced a lot of hardship in life, such an ending is happy enough. Correct She met her friend from the past, who had changed a lot over the years. She met the person who saved her, who was very interesting. She also met the man''s daughter, the overall feeling was not quite the same but her inner character was too much like him - wait, weren''t I the man''s daughter? Correct Anyway, she was very happy, so she just kept flying in the sky. When she was hungry and thirsty, a stream of warmth seeped out from her chest and spread to all her limbs, as if it could provide unlimited energy. So her stomach was not hungry and thirsty, so she kept flying more pleasant. Correct "Oh my God, there is no one with a normal brain in this family. Uncle Ade''s vision of picking women is really bad! ¡­ Tsk." Ange vaguely heard someone hazily talking in her ear, "Fly, fly, fly, your man is missing and you''re still in the mood to fly?" Correct "Don''t try to cheat me, I''m very smart ¡­Ade praised me for being smart ¡­ "Ange opened her eyelids in a daze, the little girl in her vision was stroking her forehead with her hand, doing mature actions that were completely incompatible with her age, "Don''t talk nonsense, Ade is clearly being saved¡­ by me ¡­ wait ¡­ hey hey hey? My man has disappeared again?!"

Publish Time: 2022-04-14 12:30:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 217: The Beast Calling for Love in the Center of the World Correct As Lacus watched, the large circular hole in Alice''s chest quickly opened, and a box slightly larger than the palm of her hand floated up from the depths of the hole. Alice casually grabbed the box and handed it to Lacus, and the chest closed immediately. Correct "I can''t believe it''s really in Torrington, Lacus, you''re so smart." Alice tsked, "How did you guess the answer before I got the final coordinates?" Correct "The Antarctic is occupied by Adam''s lair and the egg of the angel, it is too dangerous to hide there. Only Australia is left with the least number of people, and is surrounded by the sea and not bordering other human settlements." Lacus carefully took the box and carefully examined it, "If something really goes wrong at the last minute, nuking Australia should be the least heartbreaking, right?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Well, that makes sense, scientists are really cold-blooded animals, except for Ade," Alice shook her head as if she were in a trance, "Hey, where''s Ade? I couldn''t find Momoka either, didn''t you call her back?" Correct "Momoka is a little injured, so I''m sending her back to the moon for treatment." Lacus whispered as if nothing had happened, "With Ade." Correct A silver light burst up, and by the time Lacus came back to her consciousness, her neck had been wrapped tight by a cold blade. The bright beads of blood seeped out from under the snow-white neck, flowing over the mirror-like blade, sliding down to the collarbone, pulling out a thin line of crimson. Correct Looking forward, the girl who was smiling lovely had removed all the anthropomorphic skin, the metallic skin was as cold as her eyes. Correct "You betrayed." Correct "The Human Instrumentality Project was initiated by me, Alice," Lacus continued to play with the Laplace Box in her hand as if she could not feel the pressure on her neck, "The plan is not an end but a means. The purpose is to bring Ade back alive, don''t you forget that." Correct "So you bought into the compulsion of that female named Nunnally? I thought you weren''t such a stupid human." The silver blade around her neck wrapped tighter. Even if her head fell to the ground in the next moment, it didn''t seem surprising, "Don''t act surprised to stall for time, isn''t it a natural act for me to listen in on all your communications?" Correct "I didn''t trust her and I couldn''t have trusted her. Trusting others is a much harder thing than one might think, guess how long it took me to completely trust Ade?" Lacus lifted her head and stared fearlessly at Alice, "I believed only in myself from the beginning, in the possibility that the mad and impulsive me must have made an irreparable mistake, that''s all." Correct Alice''s gaze was cold and silent. After a long while, the silver blade around Lacus''s neck suddenly softened and slowly merged into Alice''s body like water. Correct "I don''t approve of your logic, this is the end of you and me." Alice strode forward expressionlessly and brushed past Lacus, "I must grab Ade back. As for, 00 Qanta, I will take it." Correct It was one of the best scenarios Lacus could have envisioned, and she didn''t spend any more time thinking about Alice, but went straight to the tarmac. All the preparations were already in place. After she got the Box of Laplace, everyone was ready. Correct Lacus didn''t know much about driving a plane, and only started learning it on a whim. However, it didn''t take her long to get started and become proficient in total. Correct After several hours of flight, the vehicle landed smoothly on a deserted island. Lacus opened the door of the rear part of the cabin and manipulated the mechanical cantilever inside to move the huge iron ball inside to the ground. Correct After taking the box, Lacus jumped out of the cockpit and walked leisurely and slowly towards the iron ball. It''s after nine in the morning local time. She surveyed the long-lost but incredibly familiar environment, and couldn''t help but had mixed feelings. Correct As the button "ticked" under her operation, the upper part of the iron ball opened, and the green-haired girl lying in it, unable to move due to the restraint suit, was stung by the sunlight and squinted her eyes slightly. After her vision got used to the brightness, C.C. quickly surveyed the surrounding vegetation and began to calculate the angle of sunlight. Correct "Don''t count on it, we''re on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, somewhere between the Orb Union and the Solomon Islands." Lacus stretched her arms and spun around, "Are you curious why there''s an empty field here? It was cleared by Ade with Gundam a few years ago." Correct C.C.''s mouth was also gagged by the parts of the restraint suit, and she could not ask questions, but only frowned in confusion. Correct "This is where he and I started, a place that only he and I know, and it''s a perfect place to be where he and I ended, don''t you think?" Lacus then noticed how C.C. looked and smiled lightly as she pulled down the mask for her, "If I''m really wrong, he''ll know where to find me if he does come back." Correct "I find that I can''t hate you at all ¡­" C.C. breathed out helplessly, "Have all angels been killed?" Correct "There''s one left." Lacus noticed C.C.''s panicked eyes, unhurriedly put up a finger on C.C.''s lips, "I have read the Dead Sea Scrolls many times, and found that the so-called Human Instrumentality Project is actually the integration, initialization, and redistribution of all resources within the Adam and Lillith system, and the distribution lies in the proportion of the weight of the soul." Correct "All humans combined are approximately equal to one angel, so in Charles'' plan, to ensure that Lilin gains dominance, they must give Lilin the highest weight in the distribution of resources, so they have to wait until after the elimination of all angels before starting the plan." Correct "But nowadays, it''s actually not quite the same. They didn''t realize that now Ade is equivalent to half of an angel, while Ade is also a human. So no matter which angel is left, the combined weight of Ade and Lilin will only be greater than it, and this angel will instead become Ade''s nourishment, absorbed, broken down, and alienated as the energy to reshape Ade''s form." Correct "What about me?" C.C. asked languidly, "What am I going to do?" Correct "I know what happens next will not be easy, but you have known Ade the longest and have been with him the longest, so ¡­" Lacus leaned down to C.C.''s ear and exhaled, "Please keep your ego intact and restore the him you remember, please." Correct Lacus then opened the box of Laplace in her hand, and what appeared in the box was an embryo-like object. The uneven head was attached to a long and thin torso, and the thin limbs attached to the torso were tightly curled into a ball. There were two large eyes on each side of the head, and the eyes were somewhat dried and shrunken. Correct "Adam ¡­," C.C. spat out that name softly. Correct Lacus unbuttoned the lower part of C.C.''s restraint suit, revealing her soft and smooth belly, then picked up Adam''s embryo and gently placed it on top, pressing it against the womb through the skin, fat, and muscle. The Adam''s embryo, which was originally dead, seemed to be stimulated by something like a spasm, and then it turned into a puddle of mud, and fused into C.C.''s body rapidly, penetrating towards Lillith, which was lying in the womb without any hesitation. Correct "Hey, Lacus, let me ask you one last question." C.C. felt that her body was changing in some way she didn''t understand, and her five senses and her sanity clearly told her it wasn''t a delusion, "Can Ade really come back?" Correct "Yes, he can." Lacus said firmly, "Really, he can." Correct "There''s no way to resist anyway, so I''ll just have to trust you, huh?" C.C. smiled and closed her eyes, "For the last time, I''ll try." Correct In the infinite light shining, C.C. broke free from the restraint and flew into the sky, with four wings on her back, slowly becoming larger and larger. Correct CH 217.1 Chapter 217:tThe BeasttCalling fortLove intthe Centertof thetWorld 0 Correct As Lacustwatched, thetlarge circularthole intAlice''s chesttquickly opened,tand atbox slightlytlarger thantthe palmtof herthand floatedtup fromtthe depthstof thethole.

The beautiful girl in a gorgeous palace dress with a fine sword at her waist stood on the throne, looking at her from above, with a critical look in her eyes. Correct Ange was provoked. If not for Mineva''s little hand still clinging to her big hand, she would have been displaying her dislike too. Correct Although for reasons she could not figure out, after waking up, her body became particularly good ¡ª she generally doesn''t think about the problem she couldn''t figure out ¡ª but she rushed over immediately after she woke up. Why are you so arrogant?! Correct Thinking about it, Ange unconsciously glared at Nunnally with a look of indignation. Correct Unlock this chapter. "Oh, Mineva, you''re finally here!" Nunnally instantly smiled, and walked toward the two, then looked at Ange, "Oh, this is the strongest fighting forced recommended by Mineva, Miss Angelise?" Correct "Married, not Miss." Ange stifled a grunt, "Just call me Ange." Correct "Hello Ange," Nunnally put on a formulaic polite expression, "This is not the right place to talk, come with me to the study." Correct Walk again? Why don''t we just meet in the study? Ange silently despised the other party''s intelligence, but she was not eager to point it out. Correct "Let''s be clear with you beforehand." Ange followed Nunnally with Mineva in tow, Kururugi at her side, "I don''t care if you''re the Queen or whatever, Mineva is young enough to be fooled by you. But I am the second smartest person in the Lingus family, so don''t blame me if I find out that you cheated me." Correct "There''s no need to be so hostile to me." Nunnally gave her a slight nod, "Mineva and I are both NTs, and we are as close as sisters at first sight, so I can''t help but want to lend a hand. In the past, Mr. Lingus helped me, and now I''m here to help Mineva, isn''t it a wonderful coincidence?" Correct "Flattery with no reasons, either craftiness or stealing ¡­," Ange muttered in Chinese. Correct "Friendship between gentlemen is like water." Nunnally returned a sentence in Chinese. Ange was embarrassed and her face turned red. Nunnally sighed, "I already have the most loved one, I will not steal your man. You can rest assured. The most important thing is that no one will like a wanton woman, isn''t it? Mr. Lingus would also be disgusted with such a character, right?" Correct Mineva gently took her hand and shook her head firmly, and Ange brushed it off. Correct Ange''s eyes looked around, then she fixed her eyes on the thin sword at Nunnally''s waist, "You don''t look like you have muscles, do you know swordplay?" Correct "You mean this?" Nunnally lowered her head and stroked the hilt of the sword, "Mr. Iron Mask said that my appearance looks too weak, which was not conducive to the change of policy in the future, and suggested that I wear a sword to increase my heroic spirit and gradually improve people''s first impression of me. I thought it was quite reasonable and took it with me." Correct "Pretty smart." Ange nodded, "It''s a good idea." Correct "Iron Mask is my duty officer, this time, it was him who found the location of EVANGELION-01." Nunnally sighed with emotion, "The West Coast ¡­ it is actually hiding right under our nose, Marianne, you are really ¡­" Correct "He''s in the palace?!" Mineva suddenly exclaimed. Correct "Don''t worry, Mineva," Nunnally rushed down to hug the little girl, "He can''t tell who''s who." Correct Mineva nodded worriedly and didn''t say anything more. Ange was confused, but it was obviously a little secret between NTs and she didn''t ask much. Correct Not long after, they finally arrived at Nunnally''s study. A beautiful black-haired maid was cleaning inside. When she saw Nunnally enter, the maid hurriedly saluted her, "Your Majesty." Correct "Stand down, don''t let in any idle people." Nunnally casually dismissed her out, "By the way, if you have nothing to do,& you can talk to that boy more, it will help him re-establish the right three views." Correct Infinite surprise bloomed in the maid''s eyes, and even her voice trembled, "Your Majesty!" Correct "Want to give your people some small favors and so on? I am not unable to turn a blind eye." Nunnally teasingly hooked the corners of her mouth, "If your performance can make me satisfied." Correct The maid once again made a salute, and when she went out, even her steps were much lighter. Correct "Villain! This queen is definitely a villain!" Ange had completely characterized Nunnally in her mind. Correct Nunnally smiled apologetically at Mineva and said softly, "I wanted to show you my secret base, but now I don''t know how far that crazy woman has gone, so we''ll have to wait until next time." Correct "It''s okay, Sister Nunnally." Mineva obviously also has her priorities straight, "Business is important." Correct "Thank you, I love the gift you gave me, it looks so cute, I often sleep with it in my arms." Nunnally smiled and winked at Mineva, then turned her head to look squarely at Ange, "Bring it on, right?" Correct "Well, on Villkiss." Ange''s heart ached just thinking about it. Correct "Mr. Lingus ¡­" Nunnally turned her face sideways somewhat sadly, and it took a while before she took a deep breath, "It''s because Mineva said you were reliable that I chose to trust you. Whether you like me or not, at least today you and I have the same goal. So next, my life is entrusted to your hands." Correct "Your Majesty!" Kururugi exclaimed, "Are you going to put yourself at risk and do it yourself? Before doing it, at least discuss it with Lelouch¡ª" Correct "Talk to him about what? How to lure EVANGELION-01 into the city and then blow the floor to trap it? It''s enough for my brother to live happily in the golden cage I built, don''t bother him with these messy and irrelevant annoyances." Nunnally waved her hand impatiently, "You can leave now." Correct Seeing Nunnally''s unpleasant look, he immediately shut up and bowed out. Correct After Kururugi closed the door from outside, Nunnally opened a drawer and took out a ball of latex, then began to undress. Ange understood that she wanted to use method to show her harmless part. Correct Since Nunnally has done so far, Ange will not continue to be captious. She looked at Mineva, who had full confidence in Nunnally, and her mind became even more complicated. Correct It didn''t take long for Nunnally to take off all her clothes and change into that strange combat suit. She pressed a button and the original loose gel coat suddenly tightened the skin, revealing her slender and delicate figure. Her slightly curly long hair unfettered, coupled with the young girl''s beautiful and delicate pure face, Ange at this moment was incomparably glad that Ade was not here. Correct But when Ange shifted her gaze to the young girl''s chest, she suddenly felt relieved. Correct "From the look in your eyes, I can read that you are thinking about something very rude, and that you don''t know as much about your man as you think." Nunnally picked up the loose robe to cover the combat uniform inside, and bowed her head to make a meaningful smile, "It''s about time, let''s get going." Correct Mineva was left at the palace while Nunnally and Ange traveled directly on the Villkiss. As one of the top MSs in the world today, Villkiss was much faster than any special plane. Correct At Her Majesty''s request, Ange hovered Villkiss on a deserted shore. Nunnally let go of Ange''s waist, flipped off Villkiss, and walked forward while ripping off the robe and discarding it, revealing her attractive body. Correct "The one who invented this combat suit must be a pervert." Ange pulled up Villkiss towards high altitude while muttering to herself, "Well, it''s not impossible to learn from it ¡­ only I''ve seen it, neither of them has seen it, hmmm ¡­" Correct After a few moments, Villkiss disappeared, leaving Nunnally alone on the shore. She flattened her arms, felt the sunlight and the sea breeze on her face, opened her voice, and shouted: "Marianne, I''m coming!" Correct An unfamiliar consciousness began to respond to her, growing from weak to strong and from far to close. Although Nunnally had never touched her before, she recognized it immediately. Flames of tension and delight simultaneously flared in her heart, and a fierce wind of hatred and love made the fire grow stronger. Correct "Charles is dead! Aeolia has escaped! The plan is bankrupt! You''re the last remnant of the old days!" Nearer, nearer, nearer! "Surprise? Unexpected? Happy or not? Not happy? If you''re not happy, come and kill me!" Correct The waves churned and gurgled, and the giant purple shadow leaped out of the sea with a hideous, ear-splitting roar toward Nunnally. Correct "Couldn''t resist so soon, huh?" Nunnally smiled brightly, "Long time no see, bitch."

Publish Time: 2022-04-16 12:45:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: senpaikazi Chapter 218: Cruel Angel''s Thesis Solved EVANGELION-01 was about to crush Nunnally like a dark cloud when a golden light flashed against the ground. EVANGELION-01 hit the beach hard and missed the target, raising a lot of sand. Nunnally, who was picked up by Villkiss, quickly rolled over and sat up, hugging Ange tightly from behind. Correct "You''re very good at it." Ange was surprised by Nunnally''s dexterous movements, "Nunnally, so you really not know martial arts?" Correct "Is this the time to talk about this?" Nunnally''s consciousness locked tightly onto Marianne below, "Do it now, that bitch is running!" Correct Unlock this chapter. Ange, without thinking, turned Villkiss into a human form and dived towards EVANGELION-01 at high speed with its beam saber. Nunnally in the back seat only felt a whirlwind in front of her eyes, and when she pressed down her vomiting feeling and looked again, EVANGELION-01''s hands and legs had been cut off, flush and blood was spilled all over the ground. Correct "You ¡­ me ¡­@£¤%*# ¡­" Nunnally didn''t know what to say. Even with her presence, EVA''s AT field would be neutralized, it still had thick armor and muscle tissues. Correct Mineva told her that Ange was the top fighting force of the Lingus family, but she didn''t know that the combination of Ange and Villkiss had completely taken her by surprise. Correct "Uh, and then what? Kill it?" Ange''s tone was hesitant, not as spontaneous as she usually was, "Well, she''s your mother anyways ¡­" Correct "The world is full of parents who don''t love their children." Nunnally sneered, "So what if she really loves me? What''s the difference? I don''t love her anyway, and I have killed Charles, I don''t mind killing another parent." Correct Ange knew that there was no point in talking to Nunnally about it. It''s just that Nunnally''s slightly manic appearance made her feel a little compassionate for no reason, and subconsciously said the extra words. Correct "Besides, if she doesn''t die, will Mr. Lingus be able to come back?" Nunnally''s laughter faded and her voice became increasingly cold, "Then we''ll just have to ask her to die." Correct While the two were talking, Marianne below twisted her huge body and roared incessantly. The flesh at the severed wounds squirmed and grew, soon taking on the shape of arms and legs again. Correct "How long can you last without a SuperSolenoid? Shame on you, Marianne," Nunnally pointed distantly at EVANGELION-01 with a cold look, "She grows a limb and we''ll break one, until she''s defenseless." Correct Even if Ange knew that this was the battle plan, she couldn''t help but chilled. But in order to save her husband, she didn''t care much. Correct Under Ange''s relentless attack, EVANGELION-01''s regeneration almost completely stopped. Nunnally felt the tidal wave of shock in her head and the gloomy hatred, but remained calm and unmoved. Correct "Later, I will force resonance with Marianne to draw out the last Angel. After the Angel appears, you must not attack it, whatever happens, don''t make a fuss, just make sure no one comes to bother me." Nunnally hugged Ange from behind and let go immediately, "I will leave everything to you, let me go down." Correct Ange opened Villkiss''s shields and lowered Villkiss'' height. But before the fuselage was lowered to a safe height, Nunnally behind her had rolled over and jumped off, landing smoothly. Correct Ange watched Nunnally drumming around the insertion pins, and always felt something was wrong. Why could Nunnally''s resonance with her mother lure the Angel out? Angels'' ultimate goal was to find their dad, and now, they had only one more incidental purpose, which was to hunt down ¡­Ade?! Correct Ange searched the cockpit before she realized that Ade was gone! She finally understood that everything Nunnally did before was to take Ade away from her at this moment! Correct At this thought, Ange couldn''t help but shout, "Nunnally, you set me up!" Correct Nunnally, who heard the shout, had already opened the emergency valve of the plug. She turned to Ange and smiled brightly before diving into the plug with determination. Just as her figure disappeared from Ange''s sight, the muscles of EVANGELION-01''s back quickly swallowed the entire insertion plug by wriggling. Correct Ange froze for a moment, realizing that what Nunnally had done was part of her plan. What else could she do? Just keep going! Correct "Mineva!" Ange gritted her teeth, "Damn girl, joining hands with outsiders to cheat me!" Correct Nunnally, who had been swallowed by EVANGELION-01, took her seat in the driver''s seat, holding the container of Ade in her arms, and greeted in the world of consciousness with joy, "Dear mom, are you in such a hurry to become one with your daughter?" Correct In response, she was greeted by a mental erosion with boundless malice and an LCL that gradually spread over her ankles. Correct Nunnally seems to be like playing in the liquid. Only when the LCL was over her belly button did she unhurriedly open the container of Ade, with a happy smile on her face, "Mom, it''s going to hurt a little bit, so bear with it. But it''s not your first time, maybe you''re used to it?" Correct After saying that, she drank Ade in one go. Correct The sticky sensation slid into the throat, percolated out of the stomach sac, soaked the internal organs, and finally converged at the uterus. Then, the LCL outside the body began to flood the chest, flooding the neck, until submerged Nunnally''s whole body. The young girl soon slowed down from the illusion of suffocation and began to get used to the way of breathing like being in amniotic fluid. Correct Her spirituality was constantly stimulated by her active stimulation, strongly resonating with Marianne''s plausible consciousness. Nunnally used the NT resonance between her mother and her as an amplifier to communicate a certain fact towards the infinite heavens: Adrien Lingus is here! Correct What if the Angel can''t hear? Then everything will be screwed. Nunnally felt that such a death was also quite charming. Correct Fortunately, fate seemed to be on her side, and despite the darkness in the cockpit, she could clearly feel a powerful consciousness approaching. In Ange''s view, a huge ring of light appeared out of nowhere in mid-air. The ring had a double helix structure, with a circumference of about one kilometer, and was losing its altitude and getting closer to EVANGELION-01. Correct "I can''t believe it''s& Almisael, the womb angel ¡­," Ange murmured. Her woman''s instincts made her instinctively guess what Nunnally was up to. Correct As she watched, the aura broke off of its own accord and became thread-like, looking like a DNA from a distance. The next moment, it shot out towards EVA. Ange subconsciously tried to stop it, but then stopped when she remembered Nunnally''s words. Correct The womb angel dug its head into the surface of EVANGELION-01 and immediately began to burrow in desperately. Ange''s face suddenly flushed as she watched this scene. Correct It penetrated EVA''s armor without resistance, penetrated deep into the cockpit, slammed into Nunnally''s belly, and broke out from her back. The unbearable pain was both mental and physical. Nunnally''s body curled like a baked shrimp. Her features were twisted out of shape, and a fishy smell spread out from her mouth throughout the cockpit. Correct "Ah~ ah~ that''s it!" At this moment, however, she was so excited that she almost moaned out, "Mom, let''s synchronize!"

Publish Time: 2022-04-17 12:55:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: senpaikazi Chapter 219: Fly Through M?bius'' Universe Correct Ange''s emotions had not been this mixed for a long time. Correct After the Womb Angel had completely burrowed into EVANGELION-01''s body and even the last glimmer of its tail had disappeared from her view, a bizarre flesh tumor grew on EVA''s fuselage almost immediately and continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. The size of the tumor soon exceeded that of EVANGELION-01 itself, easily breaking apart the armor on the fuselage, and then growing larger and larger until it swallowed the entire EVANGELION-01 inside the tumor. Correct As the tumor expanded, EVANGELION-01, or Mariana''s hissing gradually reduced from an angry roar to a mournful scream, the volume getting lower and lower, and then disappeared after being swallowed. The only thing that remained was the hideous, gigantic flesh tumor on the beach, and the pounding heartbeat in the air was clearly audible. Correct Unlock this chapter. Villkiss slowly circled around the tumor. As Ange watched, wings, eyeballs, fish heads, spider legs, and other odd shapes appeared on the surface of the writhing tumor in turn, and even a familiar, inexplicable face flashed in the corner of her vision. Solved "I like Mineva, so I''m helping her out¡­" Ange let out a hollow laugh, "You guys¡­ one by one¡­ do you really think I''m stupid?" Correct Ange''s beast-like instinct told her that this was definitely not a superficial love affair with her man, and certainly not a thin resentment to avenge her brother, but an emotional and logical experience beyond her cognitive range. Correct She was unable to imagine or speculate what kind of terrible physical or chemical reactions were taking place inside the tumor, unable to understand or appreciate what kind of mood Nunnally was in to make a rational or insane plan, except that the determination and heavy will was clearly and unmistakably conveyed, weighing down on her chest and making her breathless. Correct "So something like NewType is really ¡­" Ange slapped her cheeks to revive her spirits, "too twisted!" Correct "Then wipe them all out." A light and pleasant voice rang out from the cockpit, "As long as everyone is dead, Ade can come back!" Correct "This voice ¡­" Ange glanced quickly at the radar, and she quickly locked on to the MS that had just entered the field of view on the radar, " ¡­Alice?" Correct "Idiot Ange, I ask you, what is that nasty spherical object over there? Don''t you ever tell me ¡­ " 00 Qanta''s Sword IV turned into a cannon muzzle, aimed at the tumor, and started charging, "¡­that Ade is in there!!! " Correct "Stop it!" Correct A golden stream of light streaked across the sky, and the surging torrent of particles hit Villkiss'' beam shield with unerring accuracy. Correct "Alice, stop it!" Ange anxiously tried to stop the other side, "I don''t know what''s going on in there, but if we interrupt now, Nunnally''s efforts will be in vain!" Correct "I can''t believe I guessed it right?! It''s inexplicable, which side are you on!" Particle beams shot out from the muzzle one after another, "That kind of thing is problematic at first glance, right? You or Mineva, why should you trust that crazy woman?" Correct "You''re the one who''s baffled, right? Come on up and shoot randomly, don''t listen to my explanation! You''re really ¡­ really a braInless artificial retard!" Ange unfolded the beam saber angrily, "Nunnally, no matter how psychotic she is, she''s taking the risk of her life. Compared to Lacus who is trying to destroy the world, don''t you know who is crazier?" Correct "Stupid Ange has no brains, stupid Ange has no intelligence! No matter how you look at it, Lacus'' plan has a higher success rate, right?" Alice stopped firing as Sword IV turned into a giant sword. Her clear tone was as cold as frost, "Alice understands, so you also betrayed. Traitors, all are traitors, only Alice is on Ade''s side." Correct "Tsk, the artificial retard has given up using the first person, this is a complete refusal to think, right?" Ange smacked her lips unpleasantly, "Although it''s very sorry for Your Highness, but we can only blow up this Gundam. Well, Ade will pay for it afterwards anyway." Correct The golden Villkiss whistled towards 00 Qanta, and the beam saber struck Sword IV with such precision that time seemed to freeze for a moment. In the next instant, 00 Qanta''s left arm spun erratically into the sky, cutting a beautiful parabola diagonally into the ground. Correct A total of fewer than five seconds have passed, but Alice has lost all means of long-range attack in those five seconds except for the Gatling cannon. Correct For 00 Qanta who lost its GN-Drive, The only way to win is to use the six Funnels on the shield. Unfortunately, this Funnels system doesn''t have the ability to fly in the atmosphere yet. Correct The 00 Qanta, having lost its only remaining hope, turned off its thrusters and fell onto the ground with a huge sandpit. A pool of silver liquid gushed out of the cockpit and gathered together, forcing Alice''s shape on the ground. Alice stared dumbfounded at the distant tumor with a look of despair in her eyes. Correct Ange let out a long, empathetic sigh, parked Villkiss next to 00 Qanta, jumped out of the cockpit, and walked over to Alice''s side. Correct "Do you know what she''s doing? Do you know what you''re doing? You don''t know! You don''t know anything!" Alice turned to stare at her, hysterical, and shouted, "What now? Now what?!" Correct "Wait, or what?" Ange stroked Alice''s head, "Have faith in her, it will work." Correct "Trust her? For sure?" Alice excitedly slapped Ange''s hand away, "How can you say such things with an arrogant look? It''s so irresponsible!" Correct "You and Lacus are the ones who are irresponsible, right?" Ange slapped Alice across the face, "Who gave you the right to decide the fate of humanity? Who gave you the right to decide Ade''s world?" Correct "Alice doesn''t mind!& The human beings just go to die!" Alice angrily slapped back. Ange stood in place without dodging, and a red mark appeared on the young girl''s face, "What is that meatball? The logic is confusing and meaningless! What if she fails, what if Ade doesn''t come back? What if that happens? I ask you, what if that happens?!" Correct "Then go to hell! How dare you say you love him when you can''t even die for him?" Ange''s raised her hand high and slapped Alice heavily, "If you and Lacus kill the whole human race, how will Ade forgive you? Who the hell is the braInless one?" Correct "Alice doesn''t need forgiveness, Alice¡ª" Correct "You can''t live without Ade, can he live without you? Stupid!" Another "snap", "How can you let him live alone in the world?" Correct "Stop saying that!" Alice stretched out her hands to plug her ears, "Alice can''t understand, Alice doesn''t understand, Alice has a logic malfunction, Alice is going to freeze!" Correct "You''re not an AI anymore, you''ve got the body, think like a human being! You ¡­" Ange angrily grabbed Alice''s neck and lifted her whole body with one hand before slamming her down viciously towards the sand, "Artificial retard!" Correct The sand cleared and Alice, who was half buried in the sand, looked helplessly at Ange with a sobbing expression and let out a sobbing whimper. However, the girl has no tear ducts, and she can''t cry even if she wants to. Correct "If you don''t trust that crazy woman, then try to trust Ade." Ange whispered, "He''s my protagonist, he won''t that easy." Correct ¡­ Correct Nunnally struggled to move her neck, lowering her long, white neck so that the lower part of her body could be barely brought into view. The driver''s suit had long been broken and fluttered apart, and now she was not wearing any clothes. The breasts that had not yet begun to develop were still flat, but the belly was no longer smooth. Correct The veins that look like blood vessels were radiating around with the uterus as the source, crawling across her chest, back, hands, and feet, hideous and ugly, visible to the eyes; the "puff, puff, puff" heartbeat drumming and Marianne''s heartbreaking screams were incessant; the rust-like taste was faint from the gums, filling the lips, teeth, mouth, and nose, making her chests short of breath and nausea and retching. Correct The abdomen was obviously empty, but the heavy foreign body feeling and the vague pain seemed to be real, blurring the line between the five senses in a trance. As time went on, Nunnally began to lose track of what was real and what was not, what was hers and what was Mariana''s, and her drained body trembled with the fear that her stomach would swell into a ball and burst open at any moment. Correct The young girl struggled to hold her eyelids open to see more clearly, and the blood-covered lens protruded even more from the eye socket. In the next second, a jumble of lines and colorful blocks of color filled the entire field of vision. The meaningless blocks and lines kept flashing and interlacing, making her dizzy and dry-heaving. The young girl helplessly opened her mouth to vomit something out, but more viscous liquid along the throat poured into her chest and lungs, filling her thin body full. Correct After another second, the delusion in front of her eyes disappeared like a monitor with a power cut, and became pitch black. Along with the vision, the senses of hearing, taste, smell, and touch also disappeared, leaving the girl with only the pain that had never dissipated since the beginning, only the pain was still hitting her consciousness in endless waves, endless and endless. Correct So why do I have to suffer this kind of sin? Just hurry up and put an end to this pain. Correct A dozen blurred figures gathered in a circle and surrounded the young girl like stars, whispering softly or harshly in her ears in turn. They tempt her, they inspire her, they threaten her, and they reprimand her. Each one was vying for favor, each one wanted to be first, and each one wanted to take the leaping crimson heart that she held in her palm. Correct So choose one and give the heart out. Just hurry up and put an end to this pain. Correct This is where sorrow begins, this is where love ends, everything goes round and round on the M?bius ring, and no one can get out of it. Open your eyes and you won''t see, run forward and you won''t meet, fate and future can''t be changed, happiness and glory are not shared, only separation and loss accompany you, only ruin and hypocrisy follow you. Correct So there is no more meeting. Just hurry up and put an end to this pain. Correct For what else do you hold on so hard? For adoration? I don''t know. For hatred? I don''t know either. So is it for longing? Or is it for truth? Is it for change? Or for farewell? For peace? For freedom? For justice? For hope, for vision, for longing, for¡ª Correct "None of your business! I''m happy to do that!" A deafening whistle rose from the depths of her mind and swept through time and space, "Get out of my mind!" Correct The young girl flailed and swung the non-existent limbs, hammering a squid in the east, kicking a cube in the west, tearing a toilet paper in the south, crushing an eyeball in the north. In a flash, a dozen figures were scattered in pieces on the ground. The young girl gasping for air, helplessly standing in place, and her mind was anxious - that I am looking for? Where is it? Correct "Today, I will teach you a little trick I figured out. C.C.''s heart was caught by me by this trick. You can remember it first, in case you may need to use it one day?" Correct "C.C.''s heart was caught by you? Oh, it''s your real feeling, I can''t believe that you are so self-deceiving." Correct "Cut the crap! Do you want to learn or not?" Correct "Learn, of course I want to learn." Correct First of all, when you find it, it will make a "ding" sound. But you have found it before I start; It is a sixth sense that is like a part of the body, beyond the five senses. Are you talking nonsense? it is a kind of preconceived notion. Do you think that you are speaking some language that humans can understand? It is the emotion and consciousness that is directly mobilized. I think you are not talking the points at all; It''s ¡ª Correct "It''s not that troublesome." The young girl showed a faint smile, cupped the heart, and gently pressed it against her soft belly, "Found you, ding." Correct The tumor exploded with a bang. Correct Sounds, smells, touches, and colors came back in a flash, and the girl who had regained her five senses felt a haze around her, like falling into a fog. Every cell was screaming with fatigue, and her arms and legs were as hard to move as if they were filled with lead. She used all her strength to make a slit between her upper and lower eyelids, and vaguely saw a blurred figure standing just a few steps away from her, which perfectly matched the brilliantly familiar scent in her consciousness. Correct "You have come back at last," The weak voice was mercilessly blown away by the sea breeze, "Our revenge drama ¡­" Correct Her sticky hair gathered into wisps close to the back of the neck, sweat mixed with amniotic fluid along the smooth skin pulled out crystal threads, a fine grain of sand stuck to the pink bare feet, filling between the toes. The young woman hunched over with great difficulty to lift the right leg, moved forward a few centimeters and put down again, rested for half a minute and then repeated the action with the left leg, and then fell into an even longer rest. Correct "¡­continues¡­" The murmuring finally consumed the last bit of the girl''s breath. She closed her eyes reassuringly, lost her balance, and fell forward, " ¡­ continues ¡­" Correct Not too far from the young girl, Alice stared blankly at the two figures supporting each other, suddenly at a loss for words, "Stupid Ange, I ¡­ I don''t understand." Correct Ange silently patted Alice''s head and didn''t say a word. For some reason, she actually didn''t feel jealous at all, but just inexplicably felt very sad, very sad.

Publish Time: 2022-04-18 12:55:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 220: Love at the End of the Light Correct Ade''s eyes swept across the beach, and quickly found Ange and Alice, silently picking up Nunnally who had fallen on top of him, and walking towards them. The young girl in his arms had long been exhausted and fell into sleep, the corners of her mouth having a slight smile, seemed to be dreaming of something sweet. Correct "Not dead, just fatigued into a deep sleep." Alice noticed Ange''s worried expression and whispered to her, "Breathing and body temperature are normal, and rapid eye movements indicate that she is dreaming. But here is so cold and windy, I guess I''ll catch a cold soon." Correct Ange froze for a while and suddenly slapped her head, panicked and ran back to Villkiss. A few moments later, she returned with a ball of fabric folded into pieces. Correct Unlock this chapter. "By the way, Ade, this is what Nunnally prepared in advance and asked me to bring before we left." Ange spoke while shaking the things in her hand, "Let''s see, a towel, a set of men''s clothing ¡­ uh, didn''t prepare her own clothes, maybe she forgot it?" Correct Nunnally was not tall, Ade held her with one hand, and with his other hand, pulled the towel from Ange''s hand to wrap the girl carefully. He didn''t explain much, Ange also didn''t ask, but the two understood that the whole process didn''t contain any romance. Correct After doing all this, Ade handed the young girl in his arms to Alice carefully, watched the latter take it consciously, and then patiently instructed, "We don''t have much time, we can talk after we get home. I think that 00 Qanta can still move. Alice, you are responsible for taking Nunnally back to the palace. Contact Mineva directly, she knows what to do." Correct "Huh?" Ange exclaimed out loud, "Ade, how do you know about Mineva?" Correct "When I was formed, our consciousness was linked together, and I happened to see her memory, so I ¡­" Ade looked very complicated, was silent for a moment, and then continued, "There are no more enemies along the way, the first thing you have to do is to send her back safely and soundly. Also pay attention to fly a little steadier, don''t wake her up." Correct Alice knew this was not the time to act coquettishly, so she dutifully hugged Nunnally and turned around to go back to Gundam. Correct "Ade, you ¡­" Ange looked at Alice, who took Nunnally far away and then looked at Ade with a complicated expression on her face, "Well, don''t you stay with her for a while longer? At least come back with her. No matter what, she did that for¡­ well, she did that for¡­" Correct "Lacus is more important, she doesn''t need me to accompany her." Ade took the clothes from Ange''s hand and put them on and walked quickly towards Villkiss, "I don''t know how far they''ve gotten over there, but anyway, we''re leaving right away." Correct "If you insist, fine." Ange gave Nunnally one last deep look back, trotted two steps past Ade, and rolled over to jump into the cockpit, "But I don''t know where she is, I just asked Alice and she said Lacus didn''t tell her." Correct "Since she''s waiting for me to stop her, it must be somewhere that only she and I know about." Ade followed into the cockpit and skillfully wrapped his arms around Ange''s waist from behind, mouthing a coordinate, "Use boson jump to go straight there. I hope it''s not too late." Correct "Hmm." Ange nodded. Villkiss slowly rose into mid-air, and the fuselage glowed faintly blue, "By the way, Ade, have you grown a few centimeters taller? And I always feel that your face is also slightly different from before, seems to have become more handsome? Is it my delusion?" Correct Because my appearance was modified by her according to her aesthetic standard. Ade replied in his mind. But when it came to his mouth, it became, "It''s a delusion." Correct Before Ange could continue to ask questions, Villkiss disappeared into thin air, and when the MS reappeared, the two were already on a small island in the South Pacific. Due to the time difference, it was dusk here, and the sky was cloudy and dreary. Correct "Is that Lacus?" Ange caught the blurred pink figure below almost immediately, Villkiss dived sharply towards the ground, while she keenly felt the man''s body behind her suddenly become stiff beyond recognition, "What''s wrong, Ade? Why aren''t you talking?" Correct When she subconsciously craned her neck, she finally knew why. Correct As far as the eye can see, a huge human figure standing in the middle of the sea, from the physique, it was a female. The lower half of the giant was submerged in water, the upper half was at least a few hundred meters high, and was still growing larger at a speed that could be distinguished with the naked eye. Four dazzling wings of light stretched out from the giant''s ribs, stretching out to the clouds. Looking upwards, the giant''s face is actually ¡ª Correct "C.C¡­." something burned off in Ade''s mind. Correct If the world is compared to a long scroll, he was like a paper man with a very different style of painting from everyone in the scroll, and was forced to stick to the canvas with solid glue by the person who painted it. The quality of the solid glue was not very good, and not very strong, once the glue dried, he would easily fall off the painting. Correct Now, he is different, because he has been sewn to the canvas tightly by the silk thread formed by the characters in the painting. And the thread that was first stretched out to him, and the one that was sewn most firmly, is called C.C. Correct No, no, no, these arguments are too pretentious. Let us use more common and easy-to-understand words ¡ª C.C. is his first love. Correct He used to think that he was different from those NTs who are prone to emotional fluctuations, he used to think that he could think calmly no matter what changes happened. But it turns out that being calm enough was just because he didn''t care enough. NewType and NewType, people and people, are the same. Correct There was a memory disconnect, which was the brain taking matters into its own hands and activating its defense mechanisms. By the time Ade regained consciousness, he found himself pressed against Lacus. Correct Unknowingly, it started raining heavily, Lacus''s long wet pink hair was covered in mud, and the cold rain mixed with something else dripped over her pale cheeks and into the ground along the fingers that were sunken into her pale neck. Correct "You''re back, it''s great ¡­" She smiled softly. Her voice, which was already broken from suffocation, was stirred up by the storm, "It seems I''ve been busy for nothing¡­" Correct She lifted her right hand with difficulty, her long fingers stroking the side of his face feebly. Correct "But you came too late. It can''t be stopped already ¡­" her vision was blurred by something that might be raindrops, "kill me ¡­ " Correct But the expected end didn''t come, the touch on her neck suddenly disappeared without a trace, and fresh air rushed fast into her throat. The man crouched on her chest and trembled, a gush of warmth seeping through her skin and fat into her heart. Correct "I will forgive you, of course." Correct Her blue-gray eyes stared blankly at the cloudy sky. The bean-sized rain crackled on her face, the hoarse voice came from her chest perfectly coincided with the voice in her memory, but Lacus felt at a loss - things were going beyond her calculations, she was only prepared to be killed if the plan succeeded and to kill herself if it failed. What to do now? Correct Ade took a deep breath, trying not to move his eyes from the giant of light between the sea and the sky in the distance. The surging and majestic consciousness unfolded with him as the center of the circle, and the faint consciousness echoed with him in the other side. Correct "Lillith, please, help me." Correct "¡­ What kind of mother would deny her child''s request?" Correct Ade stood up and walked over to the dumbfounded Ange and pinched her cheek, "Get on the plane. We are going to work." Correct "Huh?" Ange snapped back to her senses, "Ade, what do we do?" Correct "Do what you do best." Ade led Ange into Villkiss''s cockpit and pointed distantly at the giant and said in a deep voice, "See that one? Blast her." Correct Villkiss carried the two to the giant of light, its small fuselage was simply insignificant compared to the giant. Correct This is the monster Lacus created, and this is the truth of the Human Instrumentality Project. When the Giant of Light grows into its full size in the future, the anti-AT field that exists only around her will spread across the world, returning all humans to the sea of LCL. Correct It has been a long time since Adam and Lillith began to fuse, and C.C.''s spirit reached the edge of collapse during the unbearably long torture, and only the belief of bringing Ade back supported her last vestige of sanity. However, Ade''s appearance became the last straw that breaks the camel''s back - Ade has come back, I can stop trying. Correct A long, harsh whine resounded through the sky, and the giant of light, which had returned to its instincts, swung its right arm and subconsciously tried to slap the insect in front of it. Just when the huge slap was about to hit Villkiss, the MS suddenly disappeared in place and appeared in a flash a few dozen meters away from where it was located. Correct Villkiss was neither blue nor gold at the moment, but has surprisingly kept its original appearance - except for the blood-red pattern that had been crawling all over the fuselage, blinding in the gray sky. Correct "Old Yang, since you shamelessly made such a shameful setting, then you must bless me and your daughter¡­" Ade put his hands over Ange''s hands, "Ange, the biggest output!" Correct "Yes!" Feeling the warmth coming from the back of her hand, Ange''s spirit lifted as if she had gained endless strength, "Á÷ÅÉ!" Correct Music blared in the cockpit. Along with the duo''s roar, the words "Space-Time Convergence Cannon" flashed on the display directly in front of the cockpit, and seven-colored streams of light converged on the muzzles of Villkiss'' guns. Correct "¶«·½²»°Ü¤Ï?! ÍõÕߤηç¤è!È«ÐÂϵÁÐ !ÌìÆÆÏÀÂÒ!°³¤Î¤³¤ÎÊÖ¤«Õæ¤Ã³à¤£È¼¤¨¤ë ʤÀû¤ò¤Ä¤«¤á¤Èºä¤­½Ð¤Ö!" Correct "-Grab happiness!" Correct "Burst!¡ª" Correct "¡ªLOVELOVE¡ª" Correct "¡ª¥´-¥È ¥Õ¥¤¥ó¥«-!!!!" Correct The heavy pillar of seven-colored light raged out, breaking through the rain, cutting through the sky, hitting the giant of light''s abdomen& and coming out from behind her. The violent energy swept back and forth, and the giant was torn into pieces without resistance. Correct Suddenly, all the sounds seem to be gone, the rain also stopped unknowingly, leaving only a blanket of white between heaven and earth. Correct Confused Ange landed Villkiss on the island under Ade''s command and watched Ade rolling over and jumping out of the cockpit. Lacus stumbled over to Ange and leaned against Villkiss in silence, lost in thought. Correct Ade walked all the way to the beach and let the water gradually spread over his ankles. He stood quietly on the shoreline, gazing in the direction of the disappearing giants. A slender white light in the shape of a human was walking slowly towards him in the infinite light. Correct "Lilith-no," Ade shook his head with a bitter smile, "Mom ¡­" Correct "I''m sorry ¡­" the faceless human-shaped light stopped in front of him and reached out a formless hand to stroke his cheek, "I know you may not like this world, but I love them, so I chose you and hope you can love them too." Correct "I know." Correct "I learned this from a child named Ikari Yui, and it seems to be working very well now." The human-shaped light didn''t have a face, but Ade could hear its gentle laugh, "Thank you for being able to love them, and I love you too." Correct "¡­ I''m sorry." Correct "There''s no need to feel sorry, there''s no point in me living. I am incredibly proud of myself for giving birth to such intelligent children, which means that I made the right choice." The glowing human-shaped light gently hugged Ade, "I leave them to you, please be alive with everyone." Correct "Well, I will." Correct "I believe in you, what kind of mother doesn''t believe in her own child?" The light reluctantly separated from Ade, and her voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible, "This is the last thing I will do for you, come and create a girl of your choice~" Correct Lilith''s consciousness dissipated in the glow, and before Ade had time to feel sad, another fragile and soft soul rose up with it from the depths of the core made of Chulip Crystal. The light on the surface of the hazy human form also faded away, revealing the skin belonging to a human being underneath. Correct The hair is like this, the eyes are like this, the mouth is like this, the breasts are like this ¡­ the girl recovered in front of Ade''s eyes - that was his first love. Correct "It''s so good to be reborn in this world, it''s so good to be born by Lilith, maybe ¡­" Ade gave her a peck on the lips, "No maybe, I must have been born to meet you." Correct The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the young girl opened her eyes tremulously and curiously surveyed the man in front of her, "Who are you? Well ¡­ who am I again?" Correct Ade couldn''t hold back his excitement any longer and wrapped her in his arms. Correct "Yah!" C.C. awkwardly swung her arms up and down, and her face was full of panic, "That, we, what is our relationship?" Correct "Husband and wife." Ade softly said, "You are my wife, and I will smash anyone''s dog head if they dare to object!"

Publish Time: 2022-04-19 13:00:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 221: The Witch and the Paramecium:©¦? Correct Diana, who was acting as interim chancellor - picked up a small wooden gavel and thumped it three times, and the whispering Lingus family members in the gallery quickly quieted down. She looked down indifferently at Lacus, inwardly weighing how to make a reasonable legal decision. Correct Lacus had committed many crimes, but there was no evidence or witnesses, it is completely impossible to convict her. At the moment, Ade was the defense lawyer, Ange refused to appear in court, and as the first victim, C.C., she ¡­ Correct "There are so many people here, it''s scary, when can we go back ¡­" she was huddled in fear on the sidelines, tugging weakly at Ange''s sleeve. Correct Unlock this chapter. The first victim lost her memory, and it really couldn''t be worse than that. Correct "But it''s not unfortunate to start from scratch." Here, she looked at her husband again, "I need to find time to talk to Dr. Lingus." Correct Moving back to the case, the fact that Lacus was severely mentally ill had to be taken into account at sentencing. Combining all the factors, the answer has been reached in her mind. Correct "The defendant Lacus Lingus unlawfully imprisoned C.C., stole 00 Qanta, and destroyed TurnA. Her actions constitute the crime of kidnapping and crimes against national security, and she should be held criminally responsible. The facts and charges charged by the public prosecution are established, and the verdict is made as follows -" Correct "The defendant Lacus Lingus is guilty of kidnapping and endangering national security and is sentenced to thirty years in prison and deprived of political rights for life, to be executed immediately. If you don''t accept this verdict, no appeal ¡­Adrien Lingus, what are you doing with your hands up?" Correct "Your Honorable Majesty Chancellor Diana, I just wanted to take the liberty of asking for advice." Ade put his raised hand down with an innocent look, "Can the parole procedure be done today?" Correct It was already afternoon when Ade and his harem returned home after completing various formalities, and Lacus, who had been given a special dispensation, was lucky enough to be able to return home today. However, from today until the next thirty years, she is not allowed to step out of the house again, while Ade, as the guarantor, has to report to His Highness Loran, the government representative, once a week. Correct Originally, Ade was planning to write a program that automatically generates reports or something, but Loran, who was keen to see through his plans, insisted that Ade make a verbal report to him in person. Correct "Oops, it''s already this time." Momoka looked up at the wall clock, "I''ll go ahead and make dinner then, master!" Correct "You just got out of the hospital, you should ¡­" Ade surrendered under her determined gaze, "Well, if you insist. By the way, don''t call me master, I always feel that ¡­ not quite appropriate." Correct "Yes, master!" Momoka answered. Correct Ade glanced awkwardly at Ange, who simply ignored his eyes and started playing with her phone. C.C. listened to their conversation with curiosity, and Ade looked at Lacus for help. Correct "Although it may be a bit inappropriate for me to say this," Lacus smiled kindly at Momoka, "Ade, I agree with your reluctance to use certain means that seem inhumane to you to possess women, but is it really right to force your values onto others? Is it really right? You know, what is heaven in one person''s eyes may be hell in another person''s eyes." Correct Momoka looked at Lacus with tears in her eyes. Correct Just when Ade thought it seemed a bit reasonable, C.C. suddenly clutched his arm with one hand, and the "unashamed fat" on her chest was squeezed and deformed, "So Ade likes this? Then ¡­ master? Master, you can do whatever you want to me, please don''t hit me, please ¡­" Correct "You just keep calling me by my name." Ade dotingly stroked C.C.''s head, who rubbed his neck with an enjoyable expression, "Are you hungry? If you''re hungry, have some pizza first." Correct Being interrupted, Momoka turned around and walked to the kitchen. Lacus took two quick steps to follow and comforted her, "Ade''s focus is all on C.C. at present, it is not a good time to do it. Don''t worry, since I promised you, I will take my words. There''s always a chance later." Correct At the other end, Ange was pretending to play with her phone while secretly watching. In the afterglow, C.C. was gobbling up pizza and stuffing it into her mouth, while Ade beside her wiped the corner of her mouth and pat her on the back, with a retarded smile on his face. Correct "Hey." She stealthily poked Alice beside her and lowered her voice, "Don''t you think C.C. and Ade are getting close a little too fast? To her, Ade is a complete stranger, right? Since she has lost her memory, there must be a mutual familiarization process, how can she likes him so quickly? " Correct "Didn''t Ade tell her they were a couple?" Alice put up her index finger against her cheek, "Maybe C.C. is just silly and naive by nature and believed it all at once?" Correct "There must be something wrong with my intelligence to expect an artificial retard to analyze the human heart." Ange smacked her lips in displeasure, "Mineva, what do you think?" Correct "Oh, I just don''t look. Call me when it''s time for dinner." The little girl got up expressionlessly and went upstairs to her room. Correct After dinner, Momoka consciously started cleaning the dining room, Mineva went back to her bedroom to study, Alice surfed the Internet, and the others came to the living room to chat for a while. C.C. dragged Ade and pushed him down on the sofa, then leisurely turned on the TV. Correct Ange walked up to the two of them and considered for a moment, then angrily patted C.C.''s leg, "Hey, can you please give up your seat?" Correct "Ade, I''m sorry, I''ve done something wrong again." C.C. reflexively shrank into a ball and craned her neck to look at him pitifully, tears faintly shining in her eyes, "Should I go to my room?" Correct "Ange, talk to her a little more gently." Ade hurriedly stroked C.C.''s head to comfort her, "She has lost her memory, can you give in to her a little?" Correct "Well, Ade, my stomach hurts." Before Ange said something, C.C. lifted the hem of her dress again, grabbed Ade''s big hand, and put it on her bare belly, "For some reason, my stomach hurts when Ange is mean to me, it''s like ¡­ well, it''s like being stabbed by something and stirred up, it hurts a lot. " Correct "I''m afraid it''s because you''re eating too much!" Ange bristled with disdain. Correct "Ange, enough!" Ade frowned, "We made that kind of thing to her after all, even if she doesn''t remember, the subconscious still has an impression, maybe it is some kind of PTSD. We should pay more attention to it, lest she suffers secondary injury." Correct "Ade," C.C. blinked at Ange, "what is PTSD?" Correct "It''s okay, don''t worry, it''s nothing to do with us." Ade explained pleasantly while rubbing her soft belly, "The so-called PTSD is ¡­" Correct Ange rolled her eyes in frustration and walked over to Lacus and found a seat next to her. She muttered to Lacus in a suspicious whisper, "Why do I always think she''s faking?" Correct "That''s right, otherwise what? Such bad acting skills can only deceive Ade. Even Mineva wasn''t fooled." Lacus looked speechlessly at the two, "She is after all the biggest victim of the whole thing, just let her do whatever she wants during this period of time." Correct "Tsk, what an insidious woman." Ange pouted in dissatisfaction, "It won''t be her again tonight, will it?" Correct "I don''t have a problem with that, she''s really quite pathetic." Lacus hummed out lightly, "Well, Miss Friday, you have your day too~" Correct That night, C.C., not surprisingly, succeeded in taking over Ade''s bed again for various messy, inexplicable reasons that no one but Ade would believe, such as fear of the dark, fear of strangers, fear of ghosts, fear of bad guys, etc. Correct At 1:30 a.m., Lacus, who couldn''t sleep, got up from bed and planned to go to the kitchen to find something to drink. When she passed by Ade''s room, she was surprised to find that the door was left open, and the dim light mixed with the voices of a man and a woman came out through the doorway. Correct "Ade, it hurts, it can''t be put in." Correct "How about you lie down?" Correct "No, I must on the top for the first time." Correct "Well, by your will. Don''t rush, we have plenty of time." Correct "Sorry, I''m inexperienced and do not know what to do, well¡­ Lacus is at the door, right? can you come in for a minute?" Correct Lacus almost spat out a mouthful of blood. That woman did this on purpose,& wanting to see her make a fool of herself. Correct For C.C., Lacus'' heart was actually full of guilt. The only thing she didn''t expect was that the revenge would come so quickly, and in such a humiliating form. Correct After taking a few deep breaths and getting her bearings, she calmly pushed the door open and then closed it behind her. At least, not to extend the ripple effect. Correct "Lacus, my first time with Ade didn''t seem to go so well." C.C. blushed and turned her head to meet her eyes, a gloating tease filled in her eyes, "Can you show me how to do that?" Correct "Well, Lacus, and you have your day." Lacus mentally sighed and nodded silently. Correct Ade froze in place and was dumbfounded, "No, it''s not too good to do that¡­" Correct "There''s nothing wrong with that." C.C. gave him a quick nudge on the lips, "Because I love you." Correct The sound of gulping spittle was particularly obvious in the silence of the late night. Correct "At least take the initiative at times like this." C.C.''s face showed a seductive expression, her long green hair spread randomly, and her golden pupils reflected a sultry luster in the dim, "Just leave the rest to you?"

Publish Time: 2022-04-20 13:00:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 222: The Final Layout Correct After countless hardships, Ade finally returned to his daily life, filling his time with a few of the happiest things for him. Correct C.C.''s memory recovery was also progressing quite well, and she always unintentionally said things from the past these days. Although whenever this happened, C.C. always added with a bewildered expression, "Huh? Why would I say something like that?" But to Ade, this was a sign that her memory was gradually coming back. Correct Unfortunately, Lacus and he had a different view, and she had told Ade privately that by her reckoning, C.C.''s memory loss might last for a long time yet. Correct Unlock this chapter. In any case, since there was no one at home to mess things up, Ade''s stomach doesn''t hurt anymore, and he thinks more coherently when dealing with things. A lot of academic problems that have been bothering him for a long time have been solved. Correct "Rei." He stretched and happily tapped the send button on the screen, "The details went to your email, so you can help me send it out as a whole paper. Same as the last one, write your name as the second author on it." Correct "Okay, Ade," the young girl draped in a white coat beside him nodded gently, "I''ll get it done within the week." Correct "I''ve really been bothering you lately." Ade was a bit ashamed, "Is there anything you want? It''s my compensation to you." Correct "No. I''m happy to learn a lot from Ade." Unfortunately, he couldn''t see any happiness on Ayanami Rei''s expressionless face, "If I have to say, I want Alice." Correct "¡­ ha?" Ade thought he heard wrong, "What do you want?" Correct "I want Alice," Ayanami Rei calmly repeated, "If her precious physical properties could be used in research, our rate of progress could be dramatically increased. The ELS Renovation Project is expected to be completed in U.C. 0096, after the V program ends, we will enter a period of peaceful development. I am confident that I can use Alice to get the Degeneracy reactors ahead of schedule." Correct "Okay, it''s a deal." Ade only hesitated for a few seconds before he simply agreed. Alice was idle anyway, so he might as well find something serious for her to do, and Ayanami Rei was one of the people he trusted most, "I''ll convince her, just wait for my good news." Correct "Thanks, Ade," Ayanami Rei smiled brightly at him, "By the way, the latest news from the expedition is that the ELS satellite will be arriving in its designated orbit next month, do you need me for anything?" Correct "I will personally handle the satellite modification, you just take care of the lab." Ade was really worried that Ayanami Rei would die of overwork, "And besides the project itself, there are political implications to consider. ¡­" Correct Ayanami Rei quietly watched Ade, who was deep in thought, didn''t make a sound. After all, her& persona was a kuudere girl. Correct "¡­" Ade muttered to himself, "Forget it, I''ll talk to Lacus about it." Correct During the lunch break, Momoka brought him a freshly prepared lunch and went back, and the taste of the food was excellent as always. But due to the maid''s overly aggressive performance, the lunch was too much for Ade to handle alone, and he couldn''t bear to throw it away. Correct Just when he was wondering whether to go to Ayanami Rei and give her a little share of the meal, another unexpected character appeared and solved his problem. Correct "Shinn? You''re working today, right? Why did you come from Anaheim?" Ade pushed the food in front of Shinn, "Have you had lunch yet? Shall I share some with you?" Correct "No, Mr. Adrien, I''ve already eaten." Shinn pushed the food back under Ade''s regretful gaze and took out another delicately wrapped gift box and placed it on the table, "I just remembered last night that you happened to be out of town when Kamille came looking for you before Christmas, so he sent the gift he brought you to me." Correct "Hmm, not bad. He finally remembered who paid the tuition for him." Ade smiled and picked up the gift and weighed it, "Has that kid got a girlfriend yet?" Correct "It seems to be a girl called Yuiry, but he didn''t tell me much about his girlfriend. Mr. Adrien, you better ask him personally." Shinn said, and the smile on his face dimmed down, "In fact, I came here today to talk to you, there is something I really don''t know how to be, so ¡­" Correct Ade hurriedly put down the box in his hand and put on a serious expression. He always tried his best to return Shinn''s trust, "Just say it, we are friends, right?" Correct "That''s true, I was the one who was too polite." Shinn scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "Actually, the thing is, you know Stella''s health condition. Pregnancy is too dangerous for her. But recently, Stella suddenly proposed that she wanted a child, through IVF." Correct "Isn''t that great?" Ade readily responded, "I''m familiar with the director of the lunar hospital, I''ll ask him to recommend a reliable doctor later." Correct "The focus is on the choice of the surrogate mother." Shinn lowered his head, "Mayu heard my conversation with Stella and insisted that outsiders can''t be trusted, so she might as well be the ¡­ surrogate mother." Correct Ade was speechless for a while. Correct "I know it''s not right, and have politely refused her, but she is particularly stubborn in this matter for some reason, and even Stella was persuaded by her." Shinn looked up at Ade, "Mr. Adrien, what can I do?" Correct Ade pretended to be calm, "I remember Mayu doesn''t have a boyfriend yet, right?" Correct "As far as I know, she hasn''t had any boyfriend." Shinn whispered, "I know Mayu is determined to come up with this plan, but that''s why I don''t know how to get her to give up. If she did, even if Mayu did it of her own free will, the child would feel guilty when he grew up and understood it, right? How would the child face the mother who gave birth to him if he knew it?" Correct "¡­there is no way to face it, he can only escape." Ade tried to dispel the figure that reappeared in his mind, "No matter what, we have to stop Mayu''s impulsive behavior, I will let C.C¡­. ah, she lost her memory." Correct "Yes, the trouble is here. Mayu originally listened to C.C.''s words most, but now she''s ¡­" Shinn sighed lightly, "So I can only discuss it with you, Mr. Adrien. " Correct "Shinn, I''ll think of something." Ade looked away with a complicated expression, "I must not let Mayu do it, otherwise ¡­ otherwise, I ¡­" Correct ¡­ Correct "Now Mayu''s attitude is very firm, Shinn doesn''t know how to convince her without hurting her feelings." After dinner, Ade briefly explained to Lacus what he heard during the day, "Do you have any good ideas?" Correct "Mayu has always been obedient to C.C., so I think it would be best if C.C. could persuade her." Lacus winked at C.C., who was hugging Ade''s arm, "Which is more important, the momentary enjoyment or the lifelong happiness of a young girl who admires you? So C.C., does the name Mayu mean anything to you?" Correct "¡­ Mayu? "C.C. showed a confused and bewildered expression, "Ade, I seem to have some impression of that name, I think ¡­ I want to go back to the room to think quietly, I always feel close to remembering something." Correct "Let her go." Lacus smiled and pressed Ade who wanted to follow C.C., "She has her own social circle, Mayu and she had a lot of common memories, for her, Mayu is by no means an insignificant role. So I think, she has a high probability of recovering her memory early this time." Correct Ange''s ears twitched imperceptibly as she watched the cartoon with Mineva at the other end of the living room. Correct "I hope so." Ade once again dispersed the thin figure in his mind, but after several attempts to no avail, he could only divert himself by changing the subject, "Just in time to discuss it with you, I''m not familiar with the system over at P.L.A.N.T., I wonder if there is any way to extend the term?" Correct "Haman Karn will be in her final term after the change of term next year, and you want the situation on the P.L.A.N.T. side to remain stable?" Lacus responded almost immediately, "There is a way to temporarily extend a term, without changing the law, but only with the cooperation of Haman Karn." Correct "P.L.A.N.T. is in a good place right now, even if she wants to be re-elected indefinitely, let her be, I just need stability over everything." Ade mentally calculated the schedule, "I guess I''ll have to¡ª" Correct "¡ª have to go there in person." Ange''s voice sounded in Ade''s ears, "Yes, yes, it''s been a long time since you''ve seen her, it''s necessary to see her in person. By the way, I remember that there is a pair of very sweet-looking twins, what are their names? Maybe you can also go to see them by the way? I will not go with you. It''s not suitable to be the third wheel." Correct "I guess I''ll have to go there in person." Ade said without moving, "Ange, you go with me. Lacus, please take care of C.C. at home." Correct "Really?" Ange excitedly gave Ade a vicious peck on the cheek, "Earl on you to have a conscience and know that someone can''t get enough! Lacus, rest assured, I will be with him every minute!" Correct "Then the problem on the P.L.A.N.T. side is solved.& The rest is on the Federation side." Lacus smiled slightly and continued to talk eloquently, "Prime Minister Marcenas& is just a mascot, without military power, the council is just a decoration. As long as we can keep Commander Noa on our side, the Federation will not be a problem." Correct What Ade wants to do is to completely transform the ELS satellites that will be located in the Earth-Moon L4 in the future. Such a great project cannot be accomplished by the Moon government alone, but must be fully supported by all human regimes. Therefore, he needs the absolute stability of both sides. Correct Everything is for the sake of the race called human beings to be able to continue in this heartless universe. Since he had promised Lillith, he had no intention of breaking his word. Once things are beyond his control, he will not hesitate to use DX or TurnA to suppress anyone. Correct "After the contact in Kilimanjaro, I have a general understanding of Commander Noa." Lacus called out toward the young girl who was sitting on the sofa, watching cartoons, "Mineva, come here for a moment." Correct The little girl ran to the three. Correct "Ade, I have an idea that I need her to work with." Lacus leaned down and said to her pleasantly, "Mineva, why don''t you ask Hathaway to come to our house for dinner this weekend when you go to school tomorrow?" Correct The little girl''s eyes instantly became watery and she looked at Ade with tears. Correct "Uh ¡­" Ange was a little confused, "Isn''t it normal to ask your classmates to come over for dinner? Mineva, why do you put on that look?" Correct "What about the next step?" Mineva said sullenly, "Right now, it''s inviting him to dinner, then it will be developed to invite him once a week, call him to study with me when we go to high school, encourage me to go out with him more in high school, and get married after college if it goes well. Sister Lacus, is that what you''re planning?" Correct "It''s just a casual dinner, what are you thinking?" Lacus waved her hand as if nothing was wrong, "It''s also for¡ª" Correct "¡ª For the sake of the happiness of all mankind and Uncle Ade''s great work, it''s okay for me to sacrifice a little. Besides, it''s just a meal, and it''s not clear how it will develop in the future, so it''s not much of a sacrifice." Mineva ground her teeth and stared straight at Ade, "Uncle Ade, as long as you nod, I will go to Hathaway tomorrow." Correct The young girl''s determined eyes somehow reminded Ade again of the thin figure he had only just forgotten. Correct "I''ll make a trip to Earth after I talk to Haman." Ade picked up Mineva and placed her on his lap, rubbing her soft cheek affectionately, "We don''t need to play such tactics in our family, Mineva can make friends with whoever she wants." Correct "Uncle Ade is the best!" The little girl wrapped her arms around Ade''s neck and gave him a bite on the cheek while raising her eyebrows covertly at Lacus, "Sister Lacus, what do you think?"

Correct In the study, an uncomfortable silence began to brew between the siblings. Lelouch said "I''m going back" rather than "I want to go back", which indicated that he was not asking for his sister''s opinion, but was communicating a decision. Correct After a long time, Nunnally asked with a hint of indifference, "Reason, I need a reason." Correct Unlock this chapter. "A school reunion, Shirley& organized." Lelouch showed a rare gentle smile, "Nunnally, you are now the Queen after all, it is not convenient to attend such an occasion, but I don''t care. In fact, I also mentioned holding a party in Britannia, but Shirley said that she wants to go back to the school with everyone." Correct "Shirley, heh, I was about to forget her." Nunnally sneered out, "Brother, you have brainwashed all your ''friends'', even so, do you have to shamelessly disguise yourself as an ordinary student and go back to your ''normal life''?" Correct When the siblings were still in Japan, Lelouch brainwashed all his friends. Correct Yet two years later, Lelouch was still haunted by what he did to his friends. In retrospect, his self-proclaimed ruthlessness was like playing house in front of Nunnally''s true ruthlessness. Correct "Yes, even so, I have to shamelessly disguise myself as an ordinary student and go back to my ''normal life''." Even though he couldn''t see anymore now, Lelouch could still imagine his sister''s sneer, "As the emperor of Britannia, you have the right to stop me. " Correct "In other words, as a sister, I don''t." Nunnally smiled to herself, "Brother, don''t you love me anymore?" Correct "What a silly question, of course I love you, I love you more than anyone, more than myself." Lelouch paused, "You are my most important sister, and I want you to be happy more than anyone else." Correct "Then you should know¡ª" Correct "I only recently heard from the maids that you were sick a while ago, but no one was allowed to visit you." Nunnally''s body suddenly became stiff, "Mr. Iron Mask said you went out for a while before, only to be returned hours later by a Lunar MS, and came back weak as hell." Correct "Iron Mask ¡­!" Nunnally gritted her teeth and broke the pen in her hand, "I think he''s tired of living!" Correct "It has nothing to do with Mr. Iron Mask, but I sensed that something was wrong, and he was forced to tell me." Lelouch hurriedly explained, "Nunnally, I am very worried about you, can you tell me the details? Also, I don''t want to hear lies from my favorite person, so if you can''t tell me, say no." Correct "¡­ no." Correct "Sure enough, it''s just like I predicted." Lelouch raised the corners of his mouth in relief, "I was living in a dream that I was smarter than all of them, that my sister needed my protection, and so on. Until I lost my eyes, I realized that everything was just self-deception. I don''t want you to make the same mistakes that I did, living in a false dream that you have carefully constructed for yourself. As the person who loves you most, I want you to be happy." Correct "It''s not like that, brother, you don''t know anything, don''t comment on it!" Nunnally slammed the table and stood up, "My happiness is ¡­ is ¡­ after I finish my great work of revenge ¡­ After that¡­ you can ¡­ can ¡­ can ¡­" Correct Lelouch sighed and summoned the maid to help him leave. Nunnally seemed to be drained of all her strength and collapsed helplessly in her chair. Correct After a while, the skinny girl pulled out the necklace hanging around her neck and stared at the blood-colored crystal in silence. This thing was handed over to her by Alice after she woke up that day. Correct "The SuperSolenoid of the Sixteenth Angel ALMISAEL¡­" She sighed quietly, "Don''t give me the right to choose, ah, too cunning¡­" Correct A rhythmic knock on the door jolted Nunnally out of her contemplation, and she hastily sat up straight and assumed a majestic appearance. After receiving her permission, Marina, dressed as a maid, tiptoed into the study, "Your Majesty, Mr. Iron Mask requests an audience." Correct "He has the nerve to see me?!" Nunnally was so angry that her wrist trembled slightly, "Let him come here!" Correct Shortly after, the maid brought Iron Mask and bowed to leave. The latter saluted daintily, looking as spirited and graceful as ever, with no self-consciousness of being a prisoner. Correct "You think you can do whatever you want after you''ve achieved the great feat of finding EVA?" Nunnally''s overwhelming cold malice spread across Iron Mask''s senses, "Some things are not for you to touch, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Correct "Is Your Majesty talking about His Highness Lelouch? I admit that I took advantage of his love for his sister and revealed part of the truth to him." Iron Mask grinned confidently, "But I was merely trying to prove a point of mine - that those caught in the black hole will become twisted and unaware until they meet their destruction in the twist. You can certainly kill me, Your Majesty, as a way to prove the validity of my point." Correct Nunnally subconsciously tried to retort, but somehow she was unable to respond to Iron Mask''s topic. For the first time since she had taken Iron Mask in, she was now given the upper hand in words. Correct "Put away your wild talk, it doesn''t mean anything to me. If you dare do it again, I won''t be so kind the next time." Nunnally changed the subject in a stern manner, "I recently learned an interesting thing, Bright Noa has a secret mistress and even has a son with that mistress. How can we use this?" Correct "That honest Bright would do such a thing?" Iron Mask was dumbfounded, "Dare I ask the identity of that mistress?" Correct "Noa protected her well, the intelligence department only inquired about the woman''s last name, I remember it was called ¡­" Nunnally finally found the old feeling of being in control, a teasing smile appeared on her face, "Miguel." Correct Iron Mask stood still for a moment, then suddenly knelt down on one knee, "I would like to serve Your Majesty." Correct "Don''t worry, Britannia will have plenty of use for your talents in the future." Nunnally, with one hand on her chin and slightly narrowed eyes, "Tell me, what do you want from me?" Correct "A Federation Senator named Korozo Ronah contacted me through various means and showed great goodwill to me, hoping a deepen cooperation with Britannia in private." Iron Mask looked at the ground with fear and trepidation, "After my investigation, this person was once a member of the recalcitrant faction, then became the sole survivor of the Kilimanjaro tragedy. He is quite ambitious and capable." Correct "Let''s try to make contact first and see how good he is." Nunnally''s eyes looked cold, "Mr. Lingus is doing very important things, we must not let these curmudgeons mess up his things." Correct "As Your Majesty said, next week is the opening ceremony of the planetary transformation project." A sarcastic smile appeared under the mask, "By the way, Your Majesty, Queen Diana has invited dignitaries to the ceremony, and the Moon wants us to provide a list of the delegation so that they can prepare beforehand. The Chancellor asked me to ask Your Majesty''s opinion." Correct "Let Schneizel make his own arrangements," Nunnally thought for a while, "Don''t arrange too many people." Correct "Yes, I will convey your words." Iron Mask said, "Are you going, Your Majesty?" Correct "¡­ No." Nunnally subconsciously covered the pendant, "I, no, I don''t go." Pending "Then I''ll go and report back to the Chancellor." Iron Mask got up to leave after receiving the order, and was almost at the door when he suddenly stopped, "Your Majesty, please allow me to sincerely praise you, your level of self-deception is breathtaking, just like that of Lingus." Correct ¡­ Correct On the opening day of the project, the moon was filled with dignitaries from all three countries. Correct In the propaganda for the general public, the satellite will be transformed into an armed fortress, as the last line of defense for humanity against aliens. Correct It is now the spring of U.C. 0089, and the operation is expected to be completed in U.C. 0096. During these years, the world will work together for the sake of the human race under the coordination of the chief architect Adrien Lingus. Correct In order to ensure that the project could be carried out safely and smoothly, Ade and Bright privately worked together to set up a new temporary independent force. Anaheim took out the new MS for its deployment, and all countries also sent their elites to join it. The unit was commanded by General Ghingham, with Lieutenant Colonel Amuro Ray as his second-in-command. Correct The ceremony had only just begun when Queen Diana, Prime Minister Marcenas, and Speaker Karn took the stage in turn to deliver their speeches. Backstage, Ade was chatting with Amuro and Ghingham, who would go on stage later. Correct Ade hadn''t seen the list of people from each country beforehand, but he was pretty sure at the moment that Britannia didn''t send any NT here. Since being reborn, Ade has not said a word to her, and he can''t even figure out whether his current birth mother is considered Marianne or Nunnally, so Her Majesty''s absence has relieved him ¡­ probably? Correct "It''s true that warriors should die on the battlefield." Ghingham gripped the hilt of the katana hanging from his waist and lamented in a deep voice, "I wish there were terrorists every day to wreak havoc and let me kill them." Correct "You''re old but still strong, General." Amuro looked at Ade''s dumbfounded look, and felt a little strange, but in front of Ghingham, he didn''t ask, "I hope that when the time comes, I will not hold you back." Correct "Don''t be polite, you''re good too." Ghingham patted Amuro''s back hard, "Bright is too petty to only give you a promotion to lieutenant colonel, if you ask me, I would promote you to be a colonel." Correct "It''s not up to him alone, the troops¡­ well ¡­" Amuro gave Ade a worried look, "We might have to be stationed in the universe for a long time again, Adrien, what do you think? " Correct "Huh? Oh, it must be the rotation, do I look like a black-hearted farmer to you?" Ade put on an exaggerated look to cover up, "I can''t afford to have my sister-in-law kill me at the door." Correct Amuro was in a coma for a long time after entering the Twelfth Angel Leliel''s field, and when he woke up, Beltorchika Irma forced him to marry her. Obviously, he didn''t have the qualifications and courage to refuse. Correct "Still in the mood to make jokes about me? Adrien, you''re the one who should be figuring out how to allocate your time." Amuro laughed wistfully, "I can''t beat Villkiss if Ange comes to the engineering site and demands someone, so you''re on your own." Correct "That, sorry to interrupt, may I ask if Dr. Lingus is here?" The three looked up, only to see a beautiful woman with a double ponytail appear in sight. Correct "At least don''t die before the end of the project, ah, there are still eight years left, persistence is victory." Amuro held Ade''s shoulders in a somber mood, "General, let''s go." Correct Ghingham grinned gloatingly and followed Amuro away. Correct "That, Miss Wang? Can I help you?" Ade reflexively looked left and right. Correct "Okay, don''t look, your fierce-eyed blonde bodyguard is guarding outside, I came in the other way." Wang Liu Mei put her hands behind her back, "I never dreamed that all three of my wishes would come true, so I wanted to come and say thanks to you in person." Correct "So that''s how it is." Hearing that Ange was not around, Ade suddenly relaxed, and then said, "Technically speaking, I only fulfilled your last wish, the first two were completed on your own. You should not be too presumptuous." Correct "Forget it, and I that stupid in your eyes?" Wang Liu Mei came close to his ear, "You will often stay in the satellite from now on and can''t go home, do you have interest in developing a long-term slam piece? Don''t get me wrong, I''m not going to get involved in that mess with your family, it will just be a purely physical relationship." Correct "Ade," Before he had time to answer, a cold, bone-chilling voice rang out behind him, "Can you introduce me to this one?" Correct "Your Highness Loran!" Ade panicked and stumbled backward before keeping his balance, "Ahem, Your Highness, this is Miss Wang Liu Mei, the head of the Wang family. The Wang family is one of the largest contributors to this project, and Miss Wang herself has had several personal collaborations with me before. She is a very trustworthy¡ª" Correct "Oh, ''personal'' collaborations." Loran interrupted him with a dimpled smile, "Do you mind telling me what kind of personal collaborations they are?" Correct Wang Liu Mei quickly spat out her tongue, said, "We''ll talk next time" in Ade''s ear, then turned around and ran away. Correct "It''s not what you think!" Ade was instantly covered in sweat, "Listen to my explanation!" Correct "Why should I listen to your explanation? It''s not like we have anything to do with each other." The smile dissipated in a flash, and Loran''s face became expressionless, "Diana wants to see you, come to my house this weekend." Correct Ade went from sweating profusely to sweating like rain, "Well, can you let me know what Her Majesty wants from me?" Correct "Don''t you know what you have done in your heart? Go and explain to her yourself." Loran looked at Ade''s pitiful look and couldn''t help but feel soft-hearted, "Okay, okay, we''ll work together to find a way. It''s your turn to go on stage, hurry up." Correct Ade was thus pushed and pulled by Loran to the lectern, and his mind was still in a mess. Fortunately, he memorized his lines beforehand, so he could talk as if nothing had happened in the live broadcast. Correct The presentation soon drew to a close, and it was finally time to announce the official name of the project, which was the exclusive privilege of Ade, who was the chief designer of the project. Correct "In honor of the one who gave me my soul, in honor of the one who gave me life, I call it - according to its ring-like image," Ade closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "The Wheel of Angels.

Queen Ismail''s speech was highly praised by Britannia, Nana ¡ª" Correct Ade poked the remote control with his AT field, and the TV screen cut to the cartoon channel before "that woman" came out, and a pink starfish in beach pants appeared on the screen. Correct "Uncle Ade, are you still avoiding Sister Nunnally?" Mineva, who was holding his arm, looked up at him, "Why don''t you go talk to her? Sister Nunnally¡­ she also ¡­ has a hard time." Correct Unlock this chapter. "I''m not avoiding anyone, I just want to watch cartoons more than serious news programs." Ade stared intently at the yellow sponge on the screen, "I can''t believe it''s already in its ninth season? Well, I''ll have to catch up on the previous ones when I have some free time." Correct "It''s been exactly seven and a half years since you were reborn, Uncle Ade, until the end of last month," Mineva continued the conversation, "And in all that time, you and Sister Nunnally haven''t seen each other once and haven''t said a word, are you going to tell me it''s a coincidence?" Correct "Ah, what did you say?" Ade turned his head to look at her with a bewildered expression, "Just now, Boss Krabs was talking, I didn''t hear you." Correct Seeing Ade playing dumb again, Mineva sighed helplessly and didn''t say anything more. Right now it is August, after the second day of September, the girl will turn seventeen. She has no extra effort to worry about others. Correct The nearly 17-year-old girl''s body had been fully grown. Although her face was not as delicate as Lacus''s, her breasts weren''t as plump as Ange''s, and her legs weren''t as long as C.C.''s, all in all, she had become a big beauty. Correct However, compared to them, no advantage could be found. Correct The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Mineva felt. She stepped off her slippers and walked onto the couch, changing to a more comfortable position to snuggle up to Ade. The long smooth and silky hair gently rubbed against Ade''s neck, her chest pressed against his arms through her singlet, and the folded hem of her skirt gave a clear view of her calves wrapped in black stockings and curled up slightly. Correct "Don''t keep talking about me, tell me about yourself." Ade was still staring at the TV screen without looking away, but took the rare initiative to start the conversation, "How are you getting along with your friends these days? Did you get to hang out with anyone over the summer?" Correct "Every now and then I go shopping with Ple, and today I have a date to go out, you can see I''m all dressed up and waiting for her." Mineva quietly peered at Ade''s reaction, "Banagher went back home to learn how to manage consortium with his father, said he was not going to study in college and would inherit the family business. I guess he and I won''t have much interaction after high school, unless he really gets me." Correct "The boy is still pursuing you?" Ade''s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, "So, what do you think of him?" Correct "He''s a nice guy, but he''s too honest, indecisive, and not very opinionated." Mineva noticed Ade''s reaction keenly, "But the trouble is Hathaway is pursuing me too, it''s not good to offend anyone. Hathaway followed Mr. Asiata''s expedition and should be back from Jupiter tomorrow. He is not as enthusiastic as Banagher, but in general, he is also a good person." Correct "It''s better for girls not to fall in love so early." Ade coughed, "Our family doesn''t need to be& allied to anyone. Mineva, you should not feel pressure and just take your time." Correct "Take your time." Mineva murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "But the Wheel of Angels will be completed next month." Correct "Then again, Ple is already on her way." Ade found Ple''s youthful and lively consciousness through his NT sense and immediately began to change the subject, "At the current speed, she''ll be there in about ten minutes. Mineva, don''t you have to go back to your room and do anything to prepare?" Correct "No, I have my bag right here and my clothes changed, so I can just leave when she comes." Mineva let go of Ade''s arm and got up from the sofa, stood in front of Ade, and turned in a circle, "Uncle Ade, do you think this dress will be too transparent for me to wear out? And will this dress be too short?" Correct Ade had been staring at the TV until then, and only then did he have a chance to take a closer look at Mineva. Correct The daylight penetrated through her thin dress and hit Ade''s face, her white skin and the lace edge of her bra were visible. Ade hurriedly lowered his head to control himself from looking, but what caught his eyes was the skirt corner. Ade''s eyes subconsciously wandered up the shimmering black slit, looking at the end of the slit, and his head snapped away in shock, "Too bad! How can you wear this out! Hurry back to your room to change new clothes!" Correct Mineva leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, then smiled lightly and ran all the way back to the second floor. Correct Just as Ade was sighing longingly, a pair of arms wrapped around Ade''s shoulders from behind, and Ange''s head pressed against the right side of his face, "How does it feel, the long-awaited father-daughter bonding? Is it hard to hold it in? Do you want us to go back to the room first to relieve your hunger?" Correct "Don''t be ridiculous!" Ade was instantly furious, "Do you think I''m the kind of person who would lust after my own daughter?" Correct "Do you think that''s convincing to me?" Ange stretched her neck and glanced down, bristling in disbelief, "I mean, Ade, you don''t think your education is perfect until now, do you?" Correct "I admit that a small flaw did occur. Mineva is in her adolescence and lacks fatherly love since childhood. I''m playing two roles at the same time, which does tend to confuse her. As long as she is a little older, everything will be fine." Ade explained with a straight face, "And that outfit, it''s awful, right? C.C., did you buy it for her?" Correct "Why do you suspect me? Do you think I would buy erotic clothing for a seventeen-year-old girl?" C.C.''s lazy voice sounded behind him, "Don''t worry, she never wears such frivolous clothes out. That''s what she just bought last week, specifically waiting for you to come back and wear it for you." Correct "And then Ade will probably say that Mineva is really well brought up and never wears frivolous clothes when she goes out, and it''s all because of me." Lacus looked at C.C. with a smirk, "Alice, I kind of forgot, can you help me look up what self-deception means online?" Correct "I found it!" Alice replied almost immediately, "Self-deception means-" Correct "Alice!" Ade interrupted her in annoyance, "I have to go to the lab tomorrow to deal with the backlog of problems that have accumulated while I was away, so you will now immediately help me organize the materials for tomorrow''s meeting with Rei." Correct "Oh." Alice scratched her cheek in embarrassment, "Lacus, Ade''s instructions have the highest priority." Correct "It''s okay, go ahead." Lacus smiled blandly, "Momoka, Mineva has always been quite dilatory in changing her clothes, Ple will be here soon, prepare some drinks and snacks to serve her." Correct "Okay." Momoka poked her head out of the kitchen, "Would you like something to drink, master?" Correct "Give me a hot lemon with salt." Ade frowned and closed his eyes, "I have a special headache." Correct Of course he knew Mineva''s little mind, but he really didn''t know how to make the young girl give up except to play dumb. He had also tried& to talk to her openly and honestly when& Mineva was fifteen years old, but the girl''s weepy look and desperate consciousness immediately made him back off and dare not cross the line. Correct "Just don''t regret it yourself." Ange rubbed his cheek affectionately and came up to his ear, "I support all your decisions." Correct "You''re the best girl, wait for me tonight." Ade patted Ange''s arm, who knowingly withdrew it to let him stand up, "Ple''s at the door, I''ll get it." Correct When he came to the entrance and opened the door, Ple, who had a ponytail, greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Ade, long time no see!" Correct "Long time no see for you too!" Seeing Ple''s energetic look, Ade unconsciously relaxed, "Come in, Mineva is changing, you might have to wait a while." Correct "Uh-huh!" Ple went into the house to change her shoes with ease. Correct Ple was two years older than Mineva, exactly nineteen this year. Although her body had fully matured, she had always had an innocent and naive look, and every time Ade saw her, he forgot her actual age and couldn''t help but wanted to touch her head. Correct "I heard from Mineva that she often plays with you?" Ade greeted the young girl and sat down, "You are going to be a college student from the end of this month, don''t spend all day fooling around with Mineva and delaying your studies." Correct "No, no, Mineva is very nice, she even urged me to study for my college homework in advance." Ple took the drinks and snacks from Momoka and thanked her, "It''s just that ¡­ well, it''s just that Uncle Ade is so bad that I can''t read my textbooks." Correct "Huh?" Ade was confused, "What does it have to do with me?" Correct "Didn''t Uncle Ade invent the Lingus Transformation?" Ple puffed up her cheeks, "I can''t understand it at all, I can''t do a single problem, and the information I found on the Internet is too difficult to understand, and all of my friends on the Internet are the same as me. Is that something for humans? Why is it so hard? We''re only in our freshman year!" Correct "Of course it''s because the harder stuff comes later. Sophomore year there''s the Lingus Three Theorems, junior year there''s the Lingus System of Equations, and senior year there''s the Lingus Ultimate Package." Ade was involved in the preparation of the textbook, so he still remembered, "Uh, is it really that hard? I think it''s okay." Correct "It''s over! I chose the wrong major! I''m going to fail my first year of college! Mom and Dad are going to get angry!" Ple covered her head in despair, "Uncle Ade, there is a trick to study, right? There must be a trick, right? Why can''t I understand a single step?" Correct "You probably didn''t understand the concept, it''s actually really not that difficult." Ade, on a whim, opened the electronic screen that covered the entire table and began to dot and draw on it, "Forget it, let me teach you, it''s like this ¡­" Correct And so Ade got involved in the joy of giving Ple a lecture. Correct Mineva on the second floor was now changing clothes in her room. Correct She had sensed that Ple was coming, but Uncle Ade would entertain Ple, so she was in no hurry. After so many years, she and Ple have long been used to getting along with each other in this way. Correct The young girl took off her blouse, untied her skirt and threw it on the bed, turned in a sultry circle to the floor mirror, and sighed as she looked at her charming body that no one could deny. Correct "Sister Nunnally, what should I do?" Correct She spent seven, no, ten years, exhausted countless efforts, used all kinds of means, so hard to set up Lacus, set up C.C., set up Ange, set up Alice, set up Momoka, but made the most fatal mistake. Correct She originally thought it was warm water boiling frogs, but the other party has even taken the boiling water as a hot spring, indifferent to all kinds of physical stimulation. Correct "But there''s no more time." The young girl''s guilt-filled voice echoed through the room, "Uncle Ade, please forgive me." Correct When Mineva got changed and came downstairs, she saw Ple and Ade leaning close to each other, and Ade was talking about something in a flamboyant way, touching Ple''s head from time to time, while Ple looked at him with admiration and nodded her head repeatedly, showing a shy and smug smile when she was touched. Correct A cold feeling rose from Mineva''s tailbone straight to the brain. Correct "How silly of me to forget Uncle Ade''s drug-like attraction to female NewTypes." A flash of cold light glint in Mineva''s eyes, "Ple, I thought you were my friend."

Although he didn''t fall asleep until after 5:00 a.m. last night, that didn''t stop him from still being refreshed early in the morning. Since he had a meeting with Ayanami Rei, he had informed Momoka at dinner yesterday that he was going out this morning, so now he had to get up no matter how much he wanted to spend some more time with Ange. Correct "Well, you''re awake so early?" Ange said in a dazed voice with a thin slit between her upper and lower eyelids, "Ade, do you want good morning¡ª" Correct "No, you should sleep a little longer." Ade gently moved her hands and legs that were wrapped around his body away, placed a gentle kiss on Ange''s lips, and then rolled out of bed. Correct Unlock this chapter. The Wheel of Angels has entered the closing stages, and he has been working overtime at the project site for some time recently, until yesterday when he was able to go home. Correct Ade again unconsciously sighed. Seven years have passed, although Lacus and the girls don''t mind his physical defects and are even very tolerant of him, every time he made out with his lovers, he was forced to think that he had been deprived of one of the most important symbols of being a male ¡ª his "post-fap-clarity" function was removed. Correct "You can''t use it yourself anyway, so what''s the point of getting into all these technical details?" This was something he had bellyached countless times, only to be unable to say it to "her". Correct Ade washed up and went down to the first floor, where Momoka was cleaning up, as expected, and shouted sweetly "Good morning, master" when she saw him. The only person in the living room was Lacus, tapping something on her laptop. Correct "Morning." Ade walked up behind Lacus and glanced at it, only to see a screen full of dense words, "What''s this about?" Correct "Ade?!" Lacus reflexively closed the screen as soon as she could, and redness flashed across her face, "It''s nothing, I''m just writing something for fun." Correct Seeing her reluctant look, Ade didn''t press the issue. Maintaining a certain degree of absolute privacy is necessary for everyone. He looked around casually and spotted someone''s skirt and stockings scattered on the sofa, "Mineva is up too?" Correct "Up, she said Hathaway was coming back today and she and Ple had a noon appointment with him." Lacus nodded in the direction of the bathroom, "She is in the shower now." Correct As Lacus said, Mineva''s wet head had peeked out from the bathroom, along with half of her naked shoulder. Correct "Uncle Ade, you''re up?" Mineva said cheerfully, "My nightgown is wet, can you help me go to my room and get another one? I think there is one on the bed." Correct Ade calmly put his head down and started reading this morning''s news, "Momoka, go get Mineva a clean shirt." Correct A few moments later, Mineva, who had dried herself and changed her clothes, stood playfully in front of Ade and shoved the hair dryer into his hand. Her big watery eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "Uncle Ade, you haven''t helped me blow-dry my hair for a long time." Correct Speaking of this, Ade could not help but feel a softness in his heart. He was too busy with work over the past few years, and he had to arrange the rest time to accompany C.C. and the other girls. Maybe that''s the reason why the young girl was so attached to him. He thought that if he spend more time with her, everything would gradually get better. Correct With that in mind, Ade greeted Mineva and asked her to sit down, while he stood behind her and began to blow-dry the girl''s hair with ease. The only sound left in the living room was the whirring of the hair dryer and the tapping sound on the keyboard, as if it were ten years ago. Correct Ade expertly stroked Mineva''s long, silky hair, and his downward glance naturally crossed the young girl''s neckline and slipped into her excessively wide neckline¡­ Correct "Momoka," Ade decisively turned around and handed the hair dryer to the little maid, "I''m going out soon and I don''t have time, can you help Mineva dry her hair?" Correct "Oh." Momoka nodded and took it good-naturedly, "Yes master." Correct "Not good at all!" Mineva bounced up from her chair and stared at Ade with aggression on her face, "You won''t even give me that time? That''s too much! That''s outrageous!" Correct Ade glanced at Lacus for help, but the latter continued to tape on the keyboard without looking up, so he could only try to control the situation himself, "There was a meeting with Rei at noon to discuss¡ª" Correct "Don''t change the subject! Who cares what you discuss in your meetings? I just want you to give me half an hour, is your daughter not worth wasting even half an hour in your heart?" Mineva''s big watery eyes were clouded with a layer of mist, "Since the age of fourteen, you don''t bathe me; since the age of fifteen, you don''t sleep with me; since the age of sixteen, you refuse to even hold me and watch TV, and now even the right to blow my hair is taken away from me? What am I in your heart? A burden to be married off and everything will be fine?" Correct Ade knew that he couldn''t appease Mineva with his emotional intelligence, and all he had to do now was to delay the point of the outbreak and find a reliable family ethics counselor before then, so right now he sighed, "You are very important to me, you know that. Let''s talk it over tonight. But now I really have to go out, and just let Momoka help you dry your hair. It''s the same." Correct "It''s not the same at all!" Mineva pointed indignantly at Momoka, "She''s just a maid, how can she be the same!" Correct "Mineva!" Ade''s expression instantly became serious, "Apologize to Momoka, immediately." Correct "Apologize?" Mineva laughed lowly to herself, laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes, "So in your mind, even the maid has a higher status than me?" Correct "You know it''s not about that." Ade said sternly, "Momoka took care of you when you were a child, how could you talk to her like that? What do you mean, a maid? Who taught you such uncultured words?" Correct "You are just good at talking, do you think that I don''t know the real reason?" Mineva''s eyes were so red, "Of course it''s because you slept with her. Oh, the woman you can sleep with and the daughter who will get married sooner or later, who is more important? I think you have figured it out, right?" Correct It was Ade''s turn to freeze, "How do you-" Correct "How did I find out? Which woman in this house other than me you have not fucked?" Mineva hysterically shouted with tears dripping down desperately, "You don''t often come home these years, and when you come back, you always have sex with them, the sound of screaming at night can be heard through the wall! As a daughter, what do I think? How can any person grow up healthy and normal in this environment? Uncle Ade, I tell you the truth, I will become this way all because of you! It''s your responsibility!" Correct Every word of the young girl was like a heavy hammer hitting Ade''s heart hard, shaking his mind heavily that he couldn''t say a word. Correct Mineva silently moved to the wall and opened a drawer, from which she took out a chic knife, and then silently walked back to Ade. Then the girl grabbed her long orange hair with her left hand, and her right hand placed the blade against the middle of the hair. Correct "So now you think I''m a pain in the ass, huh? You don''t want to blow my hair, do you?" The young girl''s right wrist waved down hard, and her long hair was chopped into two pieces, "Why do I keep my hair? Don''t you know the reason in your heart? If no one wants it, then throw it away!" Correct After saying that, the girl will throw away the knife, turn around and go upstairs, leaving only broken hair all over the floor. Correct Ade was frozen in place as if his brain had not yet understood what had just happened. Correct Only then did Lacus unhurriedly lift her eyes from in front of the screen, "Did you feel that the Mineva just now was as strange as a different person? Did you feel like the cute little girl''s image was suddenly shattered by reality? Did you feel like the sense of distance between you and her has suddenly been completely lost?" Correct Ade nodded dumbly. Correct "What a smart girl." Lacus muttered, "I couldn''t have done better." Correct "What did you say?" Correct "I say that''s great, it''s long past time for you to stop kidding yourself and face reality, something is clearly wrong with Mineva''s education." Lacus came over and picked up the knife, "Huh, isn''t that the one I brought back from Dakar? Where did she turn it over from." Correct "Momoka, please clean up." Ade walked towards the door, lost in thought, "I''m going to a meeting." Correct ¡­ Correct "So ¡­ Ade? Ade? Ade?" Ayanami Rei woke him up from his daze for the unknowable number of times, "So I want to take three days off at the beginning of next month. " Correct "I''ll give you half a month." Ade replied casually and absentmindedly, "After all, Shinji-kun is getting married." Correct The air was instantly quiet, and the scene was once very awkward. Correct After a few seconds, Ayanami Rei sighed softly. Her taut facial lines softened, her frozen shoulders relaxed naturally, and her hips twisted imperceptibly to bring a slight angle to her upright sitting posture. However, although these changes were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, her aura had changed dramatically from that of an untouched girl to that of a gentle and lovely young woman. Correct "How can I put it, there is a sense of relief that I don''t have to act anymore." Ayanami Rei chuckled lightly, "Tell me, when did you find it?" Correct "You took a leave of absence during Shinji-kun''s high school graduation ceremony, and it was suspicious from then on." Ade was also very direct and honest, "When he graduated from college, you took a leave of absence again, and at that moment, I was finally convinced that your memory was restored." Correct "You¡­ ah, obviously very dumb, but in this strange place, you are very keen ¡­ It was one year ago when Shinji graduated from college, then Ade, you are looking at my joke for more than a year?" Ayanami Rei shook her head, "Still calling me Rei?" Correct "Yeah, can''t I?" Ade asked rhetorically, "From the time I met you in the Petri dish until now, every conversation between us has belonged to only two people, Adrien Lingus and Ayanami Rei, and there is no character called Ikari Yui in our overlapping life paths. I will of course cooperate if you wish me to change my mind, but to me, you are just Ayanami Rei and no one else." Correct Ayanami Rei closed her eyes and pondered for a short while. When she opened her eyes, a faint smile crept up to the corners of her mouth again, "It''s good to keep it simple, I like the current atmosphere, I''d rather not change it." Correct "Then Miss Rei." Ade coughed solemnly, "To celebrate the return of our relationship from the brink of ruin to normal, will you grant me a small wish? I''m not going to lie, I''ve been holding it back for years until now." Correct "Yeah." Ayanami Rei smiled and nodded, "If only I could do it." Correct "To prevent people from eavesdropping, let''s talk like this." Ade''s voice rang out directly inside her head, "I''m baffled, how on earth did you make Alice into an obedient baby?" Correct "That''s easy." Ayanami Rei replied blandly, "I deliberately let her accidentally see Nono''s project book, and while she was eavesdropping on me, I said to myself, ''The old AI really doesn''t have enough initiative, so I have to design Nono as a new AI to help Ade, right?'', and since then, she has been very cooperative with my experiments." Correct "¡­ Let''s get down to business." Correct "Then you should read this first." Ayanami Rei kindly took out three stacks of documents and put them in front of Ade, "I''ve finished processing the left one, you just need to sign it; I can''t make a decision on the middle one, but the key points and suggestions are all marked out for you to understand once you read it; the key is the right one, there is something wrong with your plan to cut the earth." Correct "No way." Ade subconsciously blurted out, "How could I possibly¡ª" Correct "Then maybe I was wrong." Ayanami Rei immediately took the right one back, "Although you gave me the right to make decisions and wanted me to exist as your error correction module, I feel that I am really still too young. Why don''t you let me return to being a mere student first? When I''m a little more mature, I''ll definitely be able to help you out, and then you can¡ª" Correct "I''m sorry, Rei, I was wrong." Ade quickly pulled the documents out of her hand, "The ironclad evidence is in my hands, losing you I''ll be self-destructing in minutes." Solved "Not a bit of academic hegemony majesty, that''s not good, Ade, Doctor Aeolia''s much more stubborn than you." Ayanami Rei looked at him with a smile as he frowned and read the documents, "But you are cuter." Correct It turns out that he was wrong. Earth is essentially a liquid sphere, simply cutting from its middle part can only destroy the crust, the core and mantle will remain intact because of its gravity and liquid properties, so how to cut Earth open is a delicate job, not to mention how to guide the cut pieces of the Earth. Correct Ade under-considered a boundary case, which led to a situation where he would have been completely unable to control the situation once it was actually performed. Fortunately, he has a superb Error Correction Module at his side. Correct "Ayanami Rei is just so good." Ade exclaimed inwardly for the umpteenth time. Correct Ade then devoted himself to calculating the model, forgetting Mineva for a while, while Ayanami Rei gave him her opinions from time to time, and was there to serve him tea and organize his tools. Correct By the time Ade returned home after updating his program and saying goodbye to Ayanami Rei, it was completely dark. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the whole family sitting in the living room in a full circle, each one looking strange. Correct Except that Mineva is not there and cannot be found in perception. Correct "Master, you''re finally back!" Momoka hurriedly greeted him, "Everyone couldn''t find you anywhere, I don''t know what to do." Correct "I was in a meeting with Rei and my phone was off." Ade handed her his jacket, "What''s wrong? Did something happen? Where is Mineva?" Correct "Get your phone out." C.C. said lazily, "Open a random news website." Correct Ade took out his phone in confusion and casually clicked on a website where a large photo of Mineva took up the entire screen. A sense of foreboding rose, he gulped, shuddered, and clicked on the video below the photo. Correct "Hello everyone in the world, I am Mineva Lao Zabi, not Audrey Lingus, that''s the fake name that man gave me after he adopted me, my real name is Mineva Lao Zabi. Correct "I have the courage to stand here today because of reason, because of conscience, for freedom, for justice, to expose an appalling and shocking conspiracy to innocent people around the world.

So it''s a long vacation from today?" Cagalli looked at her husband with joy, "I heard from Lacus that the Doctor came back yesterday and have been wondering when you would be back." Correct "Yes, it starts today." Kira yawned, "After a few overnight works, I finally finished the task from the Doctor, the Wheel of Angels will enter the acceptance phase, I will not be busy until after the official operation. As for the Doctor, he is probably at home now to catch up on his sleep." Correct "Great!" At this moment, Cagalli couldn''t wait to jump into Kira''s arms, but unfortunately, she has to pay attention to her image when the two children are around, "Haruka, Sora, do you hear me? Daddy will stay home with you for the rest of the day!" Correct Unlock this chapter. Sora, with her twin ponytails, happily took Haruka''s hand, and Kira looked at his son and daughter with a gentle smile on his face, feeling immense pride inside. Correct Unlike other families where the children fight over toys or other things, the Yamato siblings are very affectionate and never fight. Not only that, the two children are also very well behaved and understanding. Take the rabbit doll held by the sister, Sora has been playing with this doll for many years but never asked to buy a new one, and even refused to waste money on toys because she was used to playing with the rabbit doll. Correct Kira''s heart pounded with guilt at the thought, and luckily the mortgage he had to pay would finally be paid out. Correct Several years earlier, he had changed his job from pilot to programmer at the suggestion of Dr. Lingus, and was responsible for writing the operating system for new MSs in the military industry of Anaheim. At first, he didn''t understand it very well, after all, his income didn''t increase significantly, but with his instinctive trust in Dr. Lingus, he kept on doing it. Correct After a few years in Anaheim, he was transferred to the Wheel of Angels as a senior executive in the software department, and his annual salary easily increased several times. Since then the pressure of monthly repayments had become less, the economy had a surplus, when the vacation, he could also take the wife and children to travel abroad or something, the smile also appeared more frequently on Cagalli''s face. Correct For him, Dr. Lingus is his benefactor. In addition to working hard every day, to make more contributions to the Wheel of Angels, Kira really doesn''t know how to repay the Doctor. Correct "By the way, Kira, the Doctor is on leave anyway, should we call the Doctor''s family and take a trip to Earth?" Cagalli said out of the blue, "What do you think if we bring Sora and Haruka, and the Doctor brings Audrey? There''s no reason for Lacus to put it off now." Correct No, Lacus must have had another reason for standing you up for seven years, such as being grounded at home for 30 years. But this couldn''t be told to Cagalli, and Kira could only try to find an excuse, "Audrey will be embarrassed to play with children. After all, she''s at that age." Correct "Well, that makes sense, but Audrey would be pissed if the Doctor left her to go play by himself." Cagalli frowned, "What to do? What to do? What to do?" Correct "Or our family goes alone. Just bring the Doctor and his family some gifts when we come back. In fact, I always feel that Audrey and the Doctor¡ª" The phone suddenly rang, Kira looked at the caller ID and picked the phone up, "Hello, Audrey?" Correct "Hello, Uncle Kira, I''m sorry to bother you so early in the morning, I have a question to ask." Audrey said in a homely tone, "There is an MS called Kshatriya, I don''t know if you''ve heard of it, it was sold to ZAFT by Anaheim the year before last, and it just happened to be shipped back to Anaheim recently to be overhauled and upgraded." Correct "I know that MS, what''s up?" Kira was not currently working in Anaheim, but he still knew some news, "Speaking of which, its operating system has not been updated for a long time. Kshatriya uses the same version which I wrote back then, I think." Correct "That''s great, saves me a lot of time." Audrey''s voice dripped with joy, "Could you please tell me the system administrator''s username and password?" Correct Wait a minute, wait a minute! This familiar feeling¡­ could it be¡ª! Correct "Don''t worry, I won''t threaten you and tell everyone your real relationship with Sister Cagalli like Sister Lacus did. After all, Sister Cagalli took care of me when I was little, and I actually liked her quite a bit." Audrey laughed softly, "But if little Sora knew it, it would be very interesting, wouldn''t it?" Correct "¡­ I will tell you the username and password." Correct ¡­ Correct Mineva turned off the phone and looked up at Ple, "I got the boot code. Once the set time comes, the video we recorded before will be automatically released, and by that time, I will have already run out of the moon in that MS." Correct "I still don''t think so." Ple stubbornly shook her head, the ponytail at the back of her head followed her movements and tossed it from side to side, "Mineva, it''s too dangerous for you to go alone, I want to go with you." Correct "There''s nothing dangerous." Mineva pulled the battery out of her phone and stuffed it back into her pocket, "I have self-preservation with Beargguy, and Sister Nunnally will send ACE to meet me. The plan is very well thought out and everything is under control." Correct "No, it''s really still too dangerous!" Ple''s hands firmly pressed on Mineva''s shoulders, "Mineva, you are indeed smarter than me, but your driving skills are so poor, what if you meet bad guys'' MSs? And your level of physical skills is also not good, in case Beargguy-kun malfunctioned, you are not even able to protect yourself." Correct "You''re not like me, Ple," Mineva gently pushed her hand away, "Breaking off my relationship with Uncle Ade publicly would be both my goal and my means, so that Uncle Ade''s social status wouldn''t be affected too much by my actions afterward. But your parents are ambassadors abroad, what will your parents do if you join me in such activities?" Correct "Oh yeah, mom and dad will be upset, we need to find a way." Ple shook her head while raising her right index finger and drawing circles in the air, "Can I give myself a fake name? So that even if I''m exposed, I won''t cause trouble for mom and dad? I''m so clever!" Correct "Well, Ple¡­" Mineva sighed, "Really, you don''t have to be so insistent. This is between me and Uncle Ade, and there''s no reason for you to get involved in it." Correct "You''re my best friend, so I''m going to protect you, isn''t that a reason? If you dare to disagree, I''ll take you back to Uncle Ade now and see what you do, huh?" Ple nodded in satisfaction, spinning her index finger in a circle and suddenly pointed forward, "What do you think of the name Marida?" Correct "¡­ ok, you can in. You''re worthy of being my handpicked friend." Mineva smiled bitterly and held her outstretched right hand, "Welcome to Mufti."

Correct "Miss Wang, I want to make a deal with you." The man on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily and in a hurry, she had never seen the other side so out of control, "The situation is urgent, and the price is not a problem, you can ask for anything. For the sake of our friendship for many years, I hope you can do your best this time." Correct "Get it straight, it''s three in the morning on my end, do you have any sense of begging for help?" She closed her eyes and let out a low nasal sound impatiently to show her displeasure, "Give you one more chance to organize your words. If your answer can''t make me feel satisfied, I''ll hang up." Correct Unlock this chapter. "¡­ Liu Mei, do me a favor." Correct "That''s more like it." Wang Liu Mei languidly supported her body and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Are your wives around? Is it convenient to turn on the video?" Correct Wang Liu Mei rolled out of bed, grabbed a jacket, and draped it over her thin silk camisole. Correct "Okay." The video came on and a familiar face appeared in the middle of the screen, the background was probably his own bedroom, "Huh, Liu Mei, you''re not at home?" Correct "On the Wheel of Angels to choose a coffin for myself." Wang Liu Mei yawned, "After spending people so much money to build this thing, you should at least have to show some sincerity, right? As the chief, how could you go home to have a rest?" Correct "Sorry, Liu Mei, I''m really not in the mood to joke with you right now." Ade sent a link over as if he didn''t see anything, "Watch this video first, and we''ll talk afterwards." Correct Ade''s serious attitude made Wang Liu Mei too embarrassed to chat. She patted her cheeks hard to drive away the last trace of sleep, clicked on the link, and watched it intently. The video was short, and the progress bar was about to come to an end in less than five minutes. Correct "¡­ We will uncover the conspiracy of Lingus under the leadership of Mr. Mufti Navue Erin and return a clear sky to all mankind!" Correct "Uh, what should I say?" Wang Liu Mei, who had watched the video from the beginning to the end, turned off the video and looked at the man on the screen, "It''s really worthy of your daughter, or rather, it''s really worthy of being taught by those women in your family?" Correct "Mineva is not the one who¡ª" Correct "Mineva is not a deep-hearted girl, right?" Wang Liu Mei squinted and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, stop this kind of self-deceiving words." Correct "Mineva, she robbed an MS, and also abducted the P.L.A.N.T. ambassador''s daughter. Bright''s son drove Gundam to chase her and then didn''t come back." Ade ignored Wang Liu Mei''s teasing and went on to say, "The only clue now is this person called Mufti, I want you to help me find out the details of this person. In case someone wants to use Mineva against me, she will be in danger." Correct "I don''t think you''re too calm right now." Wang Liu Mei put away her flirtatious expression, "Making deals with people with brain defects usually doesn''t pay much, in order to maintain my good reputation in the industry, please prove that you are now sane first, otherwise, forgive me for refusing to deal. So answer me, Ade, apart from breaking off the father-daughter relationship with you, what is the next most important message Mineva reveals in this video?" Correct Ade had actually found his thoughts a bit confused for a long time, but he had no chance to organize his mood, and now he finally started to force himself to reorganize his thoughts under Wang Liu Mei''s rigid demand. Correct "First, she is an accessory." Ade''s subdued look symbolized that his intelligence was beginning to return to normal levels, "She is always emphasizing Mufti''s leadership position, and even implies the authenticity of the character by emphasizing this person''s gender, indicating that she has always been thinking of a way back for herself. " Correct "Well, that''s good." Wang Liu Mei twisted a strand of long hair around her fingertips and played with it, "And the second?" Correct "Second, she didn''t reveal exactly what the conspiracy was." Ade''s eyes began to wander, "As a debut, that''s not impactful and convincing enough. One of the reasonable considerations is that she is concerned about my reputation and doesn''t want to give me trouble, so her purpose is really simply to ¡­ break off the father-daughter relationship with me. " Correct Pa, pa, pa. Wang Liu Mei slowly applauded with a smile on her face, "This is a small step in the history of mankind, but a big step for Mr. Self-Deception to face his daughter squarely, congratulations. Now you know why those few in your family don''t care, right?" Correct "How do you know they all don''t care?" Ade looked at her with a surprised expression. Correct "If they are willing to intervene, do you need me to show my face?" Wang Liu Mei stifled a grunt, "You''re lucky, I happen to have heard of Mufti." Correct "Mufti seems to be the leader of a secret society. The association itself is not very large, so it has not been mentioned to you." Wang Liu Mei explained with interest, "The Halevy family seems to have dealt with them, they should know more than me. I can help you find out." Correct "A secret society?" Ade was dumbfounded, "It''s already U.C. 0096, and people are still running secret societies?" Correct "Aren''t you also the president of a secret society? Where do you get the right to talk about others?" Wang Liu Mei and Ade''s communication lines were top-notch encrypted, so she had no qualms about speaking up, "You and a bunch of bigwigs are silently manipulating the fate of mankind behind the scenes, fooling the self-righteous powerful to send money to you to build the Wheel of Angels, and an unknown number of downline members like me are foolish enough to serve as your trustees, right? " Correct "Not much, just you as a trustee." Ade replied honestly, "You have the highest ideological awareness." Correct Wang Liu Mei felt both annoyed and funny, and even a little happy. Correct Ade never gave Wang Liu Mei any specific details about this so-called secret society in order to protect her, and the only core members she knew were Ade, Bright Noa, Queen Diana, Haman Karn, and Nunnally, who never attended. Correct The purpose of this society is to protect the continuation of the human race, and the name of the society is LOGOS. Ade stubbornly interpreted it as "rational". But it is said that the name LOGOS was given by Nunnally, LOGOS in the Semitic religion also has the meaning of the Son of God. In this case, LOGOS is quite meaningful as a name. Correct But Wang Liu Mei doesn''t need and is not interested in worrying about these things. She is a realistic woman, and her relationship with Ade is only a simple relationship of interest. "Louise and her man will also come to choose coffins for themselves tomorrow, I will be reluctant to stay another day. and help you get more information from them by the way." Correct "Thanks a lot." Ade nodded sincerely, "And the charge?" Correct There is only a pure transaction between the two, Wang Liu Mei has always grasped her role quite accurately, never bringing in any personal feelings, "Money for me and for you are not too much meaning. It''s to save your honey girl, you need to show some sincerity." Correct "Three days?" Ade asked tentatively. Correct "Seven days." Wang Liu Mei pleasantly stretched, "Do not ask me how can you squeeze seven days out, that is your business, and now this is a seller''s market. But I am not a devil after all, you are allowed to pay in installments." Correct "¡­ deal."

The receptionist introduced to the young couple respectfully, "This is where the commander will dispatch the powerful armament on the Wheel of Angels, meet foreign enemies, and protect the safety of Earth, and this is also where the NewType, who is the navigator in Ark mode, will control the course." Correct "It''s okay." Louise looked around and nodded her head in a plausible way. As one of the main investors of the Wheel of Angels, her purpose today was to accept the product and help her family choose a dormant pod, "Is this a Japanese samurai sword on the wall?" Correct "Yes, this is the sword of General Ghingham." The receptionist pointed to the cold weapon hanging on the wall, "It''s Colonel Amuro Ray on duty this month, and General Ghingham is on rotation right now, and he hung his beloved sword here to signify his presence." Correct "Well, sounds like what the older generation likes to do." Louise touched her husband beside her, "Saji, what do you think?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Hey?" Saji lifted his eyes from the phone, "I think it''s very good, the Wheel of Angels has no flaws, it''s so reassuring to know that it''s Dr. Lingus'' work." Correct "We''re customers, not trustees." Louise sighed breathlessly, "You''d better keep playing with your phone." Correct Saji continued to put his head down and play with his phone, as he had no say in the Halevy family anyway. He studied science and technology in college and has no idea how high society works, so he''ll be happy with his rich wife who doesn''t want to inherit the family business. Correct What''s more, the book he was following was updated, and now he has no time to pay attention to Louise. Correct This novel filled with a lot of over-the-top descriptions and vicious political metaphors instantly exploded on the dark web as soon as it appeared, and after a meticulous analysis of the novel''s writing habits by him and other netizens, the author of this book was most likely the same person as the well-known "Char''s Secret History". And this time, the author extended his black hand to another world celebrity, and the title of this novel was - "The Hidden Life of Lingus". Correct After hastily reading the latest chapter, Saji couldn''t wait to open the group and start a fierce discussion with the group members. Correct "The plot is going nowhere!" Saji complained openly, "The plot of the romance with Lacus is not finished after more than a million words, and C.C. even disappeared as the plot develops. How biased is this author towards Lacus?" Correct "It will be soon. In this chapter, Mineva appears, right? I think the plot should soon enter the main line of pushing the satellite." The knowledgeable group member, "Master Carrot", explained in the online group, "But this author is really fearless. He actually dares to write Mineva into the novel right away!" Correct "But the Mineva in the novel is not cute at all." Shinji interjected, "How is it possible that a nine-year-old girl would want to& compete for the Doctor with other women? Is it possible that the author has some prejudice against Mineva?" Correct "It''s just a novel. Mineva in this novel is even Char''s daughter!" Master Carrot sent a comical expression, "I always feel that the Doctor will be famous in another bad way. Ah, think about it, it''s so funny." Correct Then he was banned by the administrator ALICE. Correct "By the way, I have an unpleasant request." Shinji sent a pathetic expression, "I''m getting married next month, if you have time, I would like to invite you all to my wedding. Of course, I will pay for the travel and accommodation. If you don''t have time, forget it, I don''t want to cause you any trouble. I just said it casually, don''t mind." Correct Saji was going to say yes right away, but after thinking about it, he thought he should discuss it with his wife. Correct "Louise, the next month¡ª" He looked up and found that he had unconsciously been led into a conference room where Louise was talking to Wang Liu Mei, who had appeared at some point. Correct "Didn''t you think my price was too high and didn''t care about it?" Louise looked at Wang Liu Mei proudly, "The invincible Miss Wang will also lower her head?" Correct "In fact, your information is not considered exclusive. I just thought I could take care of an old friend. If we make a deal and your status in the Halevy family rose, it''s no harm to me, right?" Wang Liu Mei defiantly stared back, "We have known each other for so many years, stop talking nonsense, direct tell me the thing you know." Correct Louise gestured wordlessly to the ceiling. Correct "In case the aliens fight over, we still need to count on Lingus to save our lives. Even if there really is a wiretap, what is wrong if he knows it?" Wang Liu Mei laughed, "It''s my freedom to handle the information you sold to me. I would like to let other people know, can''t I?" Correct "It''s rather counterintuitive for you to be so aggressive." Louise looked up and down at the single young woman in front of her, "For a man?" Correct "For myself." Wang Liu Mei rolled her eyes, "Your man is still looking at you for something, don''t waste your time." Correct "Well." Louise still looked at her with suspicion, "Mufti is in a secret society called the Crossbone, using the skull as a symbol. The core members of the society, including him, as far as our family knows, have a total of seven people, known internally by them as the Seven of Steel." Correct "It''s already U.C. 0096, there are still people engaged in this medieval dregs." Wang Liu Mei could not help but sneer, "In addition to this Mufti, do you have any clues about the other six?" Correct "Two were women, but I don''t know their names." Louise recalled the information in her mind, "The other four had business with our family, Quattro Bajeena, Full Frontal, Edward Mass, and Ikeda Sh?i." Correct CH 228.2 "Mrs. Halevy,tMr. Halevy,tthis istthe maintcontrol roomtof thetWheel oftAngels."

Ple, who had half her face pressed against the window, had a vague glint in her eyes and let out an "ooh ooh ooh ooh~" exclamation. Correct "Mineva, Mineva!" she turned her head and looked excitedly at the young girl sitting across from her, "I''ve never been to Britannia, any recommendations for places to visit? And also, I want to bring back gifts for mom and dad, any recommendations for souvenirs?" Correct "Ha ¡­" Mineva sighed for the unknown times, "I will be safe after we get to Britannia, so you can go back already. Uncle Andy and Auntie Elsa must be going crazy, you''d better go back early." Correct Unlock this chapter. "Hmph, if not for me, you would have been caught back by Hathaway, right?" Ple sniffed unhappily and pouted, "A woman who has lost her use value should be decisively discarded, Mineva is worthy of that man''s ¡­ daug¡­" Correct Mineva''s sharp eyes made her swallow back the last word hard. Correct "Wow, the sea is so blue!" Ple chose to press her face against the window again while surreptitiously observing the young girl from the corner of her eye. Correct "I actually know I am very immature." Mineva''s body slightly bent forward and she softly said, "I neither have as rich life experience as C.C., nor can be as smart as Lacus, and can''t solve all problems with strength as Sister Ange, but I don''t regret my immature decision." Correct Ple returned to her seat and put away the jokey expression she had before. Correct "I know such feelings are forbidden and not allowed, maybe if I grew up in a normal family, I would have learned to restrain myself until I let time heal everything, but none of the adults in my family set a good example for me, rather they did things much more than I did." Mineva laughed lowly to herself, "So much for the family upbringing, I''ve become that kind of person, let Uncle Ade feel guilty." Correct Ple got up and moved to the opposite side, sat down close to Mineva''s left, and extended her right hand to hold the girl''s slender left hand. She smiled, "What do you mean ''this kind of person''? I think Mineva is very good. I like Mineva the most. Besides, isn''t it the right thing for girls to pursue happiness?" Correct "I''m sorry." Mineva smiled apologetically at her, "Even if things went wrong, it would be my business alone, I don''t want to put unrelated people in danger because of my impulsiveness. That''s exactly why I don''t want to get other people involved, especially you, Ple, because I like you too." Correct "Hey, hey, you like me too." Ple scratched her cheek in embarrassment, "Ah! So we left Hathaway behind to sneak away. Wow. Hmmmmm, so that''s it, I thought you''d lull him into a fight." Correct "How is that possible?" Mineva looked at Ple as if she was taking care of a retard, "The alliance with Commander Bright Noa means a lot to Uncle Ade, and getting Hathaway involved is one of the last developments I want to see. I''m not like the other women in the family, who only know to mess things up. Taking C.C. for instance-" Correct "Stop, stop." Ple hurriedly interrupted her, "I can already recite their stories, you really don''t need to tell it again." Correct "Ahem, forget it then." Mineva stood up slightly awkwardly, "It''s almost time to reach the sea area we agreed with Sister Nunnally, let''s go to the bridge." Correct According to Nunnally''s original arrangement, after Mineva left the moon and successfully escaped from the pursuers, she first needed to use the robbed MS to reach Britannia''s factory on a small satellite, then switch to a shuttle to enter the atmosphere, and finally merge with the emissary sent by Nunnally in the Atlantic Ocean and return to Britannia''s homeland silently. Correct Although Hathaway was dumped in a factory on a small satellite for the reason that he needed to change the paint job on F97 - in fact, it was just to paint a few skulls on Gundam F97 - and Mineva had Ple with her, it was generally not too different from the plan. Correct In other words, Mineva feels pretty confident. Correct In a short while, the two girls arrived at the bridge. The bridge of this shuttle is not very spacious, and the MS it carried is only Kshatriya brought by Mineva. But in order to ensure the stealth of the operation, this is already the best choice. Correct "But you don''t have to worry, Your Highness Mineva." The young man who served as the captain wore a pair of glasses, and his civilized and handsome appearance seemed to be easily mistaken for a woman, "His Majesty has sent two ACEs, Secretary Suzaku and Rockon, to meet you in order to ensure your safety. Unless Colonel Amuro Ray personally takes action, no one can catch us." Correct "Very well." Mineva nodded majestically and slightly, "I always-" Correct "Whahahahahahaha!" Ple''s piercing laughter interrupted her, "Mr. Captain ¡­ hahahahaha, sorry ¡­ just now did you say that the person who came to meet us is called ¡­ I really didn''t mean to¡­ hahahahaha ¡­ called Rockon?" Correct The captain responded with a yes, his handsome face filled with embarrassment. Correct "Amazing, it''s really called ¡­ hahahahaha ¡­ called Rockon!" Ple covered her stomach and bent down, "Mineva, it''s really interesting. How could his mom and dad decide to ¡­" Correct "He doesn''t know who his parents are." The captain''s eyes were in a bit of a trance, "Lockon was just a false name given to him by the late emperor, but he didn''t know what his real name was, so he had to live under a false name. Fortunately, His Majesty Nunnally found a meaning for him, for everyone, to live." Correct "I''m sorry!" Ple bowed ninety degrees to the captain almost immediately, her long ponytail was thrown in front of her head under the effect of inertia, "It was really rude of me to make fun of someone''s name, I will apologize to Mr. Lockon himself later too!" Correct The captain gave Mineva a look and waved his hand with a smile, "It''s okay, you''re a very polite and good girl, worthy of being a friend of Her Highness Mineva. And to be honest, his name is really funny." Correct Ple straightened up again at Mineva''s gesture, and by now, her face was flushed with shame. Correct "Such innocent and lively, honest and frank, polite and understanding, well-developed girl¡­ how could anyone hate her?" Mineva sighed in her heart, "On the contrary, some young, deep-hearted, mentally distorted role, is really not cute at all ¡­ sorry, I am not a little angel like you thought¡­ " Correct Seeing that Mineva didn''t make any comments, the captain refocused his attention on the task at hand. Correct Theoretically, they would arrive at the reserved sea area after about forty minutes, however, not long after, the strange things happened. Correct "Your Highness Mineva, a group of Britannia MSs is approaching us, the communication request from our side is rejected." The captain chose to report the situation immediately, "The opponent''s movement speed is only one-third of the normal MS movement speed, temporarily unable to infer the MS model ¡­ so fast! There is an MS three times faster than other MS, only it is flying at the normal speed!" Correct As soon as he said it, a small red dot appeared in the field of view. Correct "Minovsky particle concentration is rising rapidly¡­ Oh no, the long-range communication means is cut off! This red MS''s purpose is to disperse Minovsky particles, so it flys in advance alone!" The captain hammered hard on the panel in front of him, "What a shame this is!" Correct "Suzaku Kururugi could not have leaked the secret coordinates to a third party, that is to say ¡­" Mineva gazed at the red figure at the end of her gaze that was growing larger and larger, "You betrayed again¡­ and what''s the reason for your betrayal this time?" Correct "Is it him?" Before Mineva could respond, Ple got the answer from her eyes. The single ponytailed girl gave a confident thumbs-up, "Don''t worry, I''ll protect Mineva!" Correct ¡­ Correct Char - as we can finally justifiably call him - surveyed the large "green pepper" that stopped in front of him. Correct The elastic driving suit restrained his slightly fat body, and the slightly greasy blond hair also didn''t detract from his heroic face. It''s a shame he just took off the damn metal mask an hour ago, otherwise, he would still be a handsome man again if he took care of his appearance a little. Correct "Mr. Edward, the other side seems to have only one MS." The intermittent voice of the ally came from the helmet, in the current concentration of Minovsky particles, even short-range communication would inevitably be affected, "Please just delay the other side for a moment. We can directly hijack the other side''s shuttle after the MS squad arrives." Correct "There''s no need for that." Char refused, "Senator Ronah, without your all-encompassing trust in me and dedication to me regardless of the cost, I would not have lived to remove the collar that woman put on me. To show my gratitude, allow me now to demonstrate my worth." Correct "Mr. Edward, your value doesn''t lie in the battlefield, and your excellent MS driving ability is just a small part of your countless talents." Korozo& Ronah let out a cheerful laugh, "As the only son of the great revolutionary Mr. Mass, you are the only one who can understand my thoughts, don''t die here for the sake of acting hero." Correct "I have endured humiliation for so many years just to get things back on track." Char aimed his large beam rifle at Kshatriya''s heart, the location of the cockpit, "The first obstacle on your ideal journey, let me, Edward Mass, remove it with my own hands." Correct The whistling particle beam was attenuated by the I-Field and grazed Kshatriya''s shoulder armor, the hot flash burning the armor with an ear-splitting sound. While the opponent was still rejoicing at the timely activation of the I-Field, the howitzer hanging below Sinanju''s rifle mixed in with the beam and struck Kshatriya, leaving the latter wrapped in a cloud of smoke. Correct "Good reaction time, and I''m sure the pilot''s talent is good." Char made his comment with ease, raising his hand in the direction where his opponent was expected to break out for another shot, "But the experience is so far off, how could I possibly fight a close combat with an MS of this tonnage?" Correct Kshatriya panicked and burst out of the smoke. Ple instinctively twisted the fuselage in the nick of time, and Kshatriya''s skirt armor underneath the cockpit flew into the air in the flames. When she opened the I-Field again, two anti-MS rockets had encircled her left and right. Correct "Battles inside and outside the atmosphere can be worlds apart, and heavy armor will only become a liability that affects maneuverability under huge air resistance. Yet a novice who has only experienced simulated battles will not understand this." Char shot off all four of the remaining rockets at once, "Let me tell you, the performance of the MS is not the key to victory or defeat." Correct At this point Kshatriya''s pilot finally reacted, unfolding the cannon hidden under the shoulder armor to knock out the rockets, and using the particle cannon on the MS''s chest to meet the four new threats that followed. Three of them were detonated one by one under her fairly accurate shooting, and the remaining one was barely dodged by her. Correct "Naive." Char responded by pulling the trigger. Correct The beam leapt out of the chamber of the cannon and caught up with the rocket that had just been dodged, and Kshatriya was caught off guard by the blast from behind and lost its vision again in a cloud of smoke. Sinanju was now sprinting towards the side of the smoke at high speed, the fierce beam battle-axe in its hand raised high, chopping down hard on the location where the cockpit was supposed to appear. Correct "Stop it!" Mineva''s mournful shout resounded through the public channel, "Don''t hurt her, I''ll go with you!" Correct Sinanju drew back sharply, quickly returning to a safe distance after hearing the voice. Correct "Mineva?" Called out Ple anxiously, "It''s okay, I can still fight!" Correct "That''s enough already." Mineva let out a sigh, "Who is behind you? Why are you doing this? Aren''t you worried about Britannia''s retaliation?" Correct "Retaliation?" Char laughed out loud, "You are terrorists threatening Lingus and the Wheel of Angels, in other words, you are standing against all peace-loving people around the world. Her Majesty Nunnally needs to clarify the relationship with you to the world first, how can there be any revenge?" Correct "What Mr. Edward said is extremely true." Ronah added, "As a Senator of the Federation Council, it is necessary for me to put you at the disposal of Prime Minister Marcenas. Don''t worry, tell us where Mufti is and you will receive a fair trial." Correct "So the destination is ¡­" Mineva recalled the map a little. The Earth Federation headquarters is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, "Dakar? That''s quite a side trip." Correct "Exactly, so give up the meaningless resistance." Char showed a teasing smile, "Thanks to the light defense wall provided by Lingus, Dakar is solid as gold, and you can''t escape even if you have wings."

Correct He had been determined not to join the army since he was a child, and he didn''t pay much attention to his father''s work in the A-Laws. The good news is that his father was a very open-minded man who treated him and his sister equally and let them practice their chosen way of life according to their own will. Correct When he was in high school, he was introduced to Judau Ashta and joined his Jupiter extraction team by Dr. Lingus, his father''s most solid ally and his most respected elder. Judau not only taught him the skills of piloting the MS, but also taught him a lot about being a good man. Correct Unlock this chapter. Under the influence of both the Doctor and Judau, Hathaway grew into a moral, idealistic, educated, and disciplined boy. In general, except for not successfully chasing the girl he liked, Hathaway was quite satisfied with his life now. Correct Then Mineva''s words completely disrupted his worldview. Correct Is a human being still a human being after losing one''s self? Is that kind of human being truly alive? Is there any point in simply lingering on in the brainwashing of others? He had been convinced of free will since he was a child, and in his eyes, the so-called "Destiny Plan" was not fundamentally different from the destruction of human civilization. Correct The respected elder suddenly turned into a demon king who wants to destroy the world, and his old father also suddenly transformed into the four kings under the demon king - the other three, according to his estimation, should be Diana, Haman, and Nunnally - and as the hope of mankind, the Wheel of Angels, turned out to be an evil super weapon that will destroy the free will of all mankind. Correct Mineva is unable to lie to him, so the above is by no means some kind of epileptic dreaming for him, but a reality that has to be faced. So the question arises, what to do now? Correct Is it to expose his father''s crimes to the world like Mineva? Or to unite with other people to blow up the Wheel of Angels? Or go to the moon and talk to Dr. Lingus face to face to change his mind? You know, it''s always hard to accept that your most respected person suddenly became a devil. Correct Just when he was worried about the future, Mineva and Ple left him behind and quietly ran away. After learning this fact, he chased after them in his newly painted F97 at the first opportunity. Perhaps leaving him behind was Mineva''s gentleness to keep him from getting too involved, but Hathaway now needs the young girl''s advice and counsel. Correct The good thing is that F97 is an MS specially developed by Dr. Lingus. Although it doesn''t have strong firepower,& its basic performance is exceptionally good. In order to adapt to Jupiter''s far greater size and gravity than Earth, F97''s movement ability and sensor range were far better than any MS or warship today. Correct Hathaway therefore could smoothly catch up with Mineva''s shuttle, and after Mineva was captured, he could track after the ship without being detected. Correct When the Minovsky particle concentration suddenly rose, he realized that someone was planning something bad. In the face of a small team of MS, saving a shuttle from their hands is too unrealistic, so he sensibly chose to bide his time. Correct Some time later, the team of MS left the sea area and entered Dakar. Any further and F97 would be detected by anti-aircraft radar, Hathaway stopped the MS to think quickly. Correct "Mineva''s current identity is, to put it bluntly, a terrorist, and there are still many of the Doctor''s political enemies lurking in the council, and they are likely to use Mineva''s identity to make a play against the Doctor. In other words, both Mineva and the Doctor will be in danger." Hathaway took a deep breath, "I believe that I can talk to the Doctor and persuade him to give up his plan, so now it is necessary to save Mineva first." Correct Hathaway stared intently at the radar display directly in front of him, trying to find the time to strike. Fortunately, luck seemed to be on his side, and at the last moment when the shuttle Mineva was on was disappearing from F97''s sensor range, the MS team, accompanied by the local garrison, changed course and flew to the barracks outside the city, while the shuttle headed alone to land at the airport on the edge of the city. Correct "It''s now!" Correct F97''s thrusters were on full blast, turning into a long rainbow straight into Jove International Airport. Mineva and Ple had already disembarked from the shuttle as he expected and were diving into a small car. As long as he could catch Mineva back before the local garrison responded, he could ¡­ Correct "¡­?!" Correct The sense of crisis in his mind made Hathaway subconsciously control F97 to make an emergency evasion, a high-energy particle beam immediately swept past before his eyes. The reflective beam cloak had been consumed in the battle with Kshatriya, if this shot hit F97, it would crash on the spot. Correct "Showing off yourself above downtown is not a recommended behavior, the unknown pilot," A cheerful male voice followed on the public channel, "Isn''t this Gundam F97? Did you steal it from my father-in-law¡­ ahem, from Dr. Lingus?" Correct A thirty-meter-tall "giant" MS was standing in front of him, while the car carrying Mineva was gradually lost in the traffic towards the city center. Hathaway, who saw that, hammered the armrest of his seat in frustration, then immediately took a closer look at the MS in front of him and began to think about how to get out. Correct He was Bright Noa''s son, and if he was caught here, it would bring his father too much trouble. Correct He quickly recognized the Gundam in front of him. It was a special NT MS (Penelope) that Anaheim had been commissioned to develop several years ago. There was also a Gundam codenamed ¦® (Keshi) that was commissioned together, but it was forcibly cancelled by Dr. Lingus for some inexplicable reason. Correct Penelope Gundam, as an NT special MS, the biggest feature is its Sekhmet system. The floating missiles are hidden underneath the shoulder armor and skirt armor, and could be controlled by the NT pilot''s mental sensing. Correct This MS was originally assigned to Captain Mu, who had just awakened to be a NewType in the past few years, but someone''s obsession with the new Gundam was unbelievable. And Bright, after numerous pleas, finally gave in and assigned this NT-specific MS to a non-NT pilot for the first time - Graham Aker. Correct "No wonder this Gundam comes so quick, it really is the worst encounter that can be thought of." Hathaway''s palms uncontrollably seeped out a layer of fine sweat, "Major Aker, too bad that it''s him¡­" Correct "What''s wrong? Don''t like to talk? It''s not a good habit to be silent as a Gundam''s pilot." Penelope drew out two beam sabers, "It''s not a good idea to shoot indiscriminately over the city, so let''s settle it happily with a close battle!" Correct "That was fast!" Correct Penelope''s 30 meters tall body seems to have no effect on its speed, almost in the blink of an eye, its beam saber has arrived in front of Hathaway''s eyes. In the nick of time, F97 flipped backward and kicked Penelope''s forearm unexpectedly with the short blade mounted on the bottom of F97''s foot. Correct "I''ve known about this for a long time!" Correct Aker lightly dodge the kick, and the beam saber smoothly chopped down. F97''s entire front leg was cut off. Penelope, who completed a series of complex movements in a flash, even had the strength to grab F97''s front leg, so as not to cause casualties by smashing such a large piece of metal into the city. Correct "Oops, you run really fast." Aker looked at F97, who took the opportunity to escape away, and regretfully sighed, "It''s not easy to meet another good pilot, it''s a pity that he was about to lose so suffocating. Father-in-law, father-in-law, why do you have to make such a thing?" Correct Hathaway didn''t know why Major Aker didn''t chase after him, but it was a good time to escape anyway, and F97 made a mad dash towards the coast. As long as Graham Aker didn''t chase after him, Hathaway believed that he could safely escape from others. Correct Yet things were going in the worst possible direction for Hathaway, in the next unsuspecting moment. Correct "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Correct The hissing didn''t clear his consciousness one iota, and the nerves of his whole body shuddered with misery. The eyes could not see anything under the pressure of pure white electric light, and the mind could not feel anything but severe pain. Correct There was a buzz, a rupture of the eardrum, and something exploded in the center of consciousness. Until then Hathaway remembered that Dakar seems to have a security device called "light defense wall"? Correct "That''s enough! Stop!" Graham yelled angrily to the command center, "He''s clearly incapacitated, must we electrocute him until he''s dead?" Correct The high voltage grid finally stopped functioning at Aker''s request, and the stiffened Gundam F97 stopped functioning and crashed to the shoreline. After Penelope quickly arrived at the scene, Aker used a sling to descend to the hatch and opened the cockpit of F97, and the slight smell of burning mixed with the smell of urine came to his nose. Correct He took out his pistol and looked into the cockpit, only to see the F97''s pilot sitting with his head hanging down, seemingly unconscious. Aker carefully took off his helmet, and underneath it appeared the face of a teenager with visibly burned skin and messy hair. Correct "Fortunately, the light defense wall stopped in time. But this teenager, I feel his face looks very familiar¡­" Aker pondered for a moment, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "¡­ Hathaway?!" Correct A few hours later, Aker, who had completed all the handovers, walked into a high-end bar in downtown Dakar in his civilian clothes. As a direct report of Commander Bright Noa, he had been stripped of his command of the MS forces at the first opportunity by the Prime Minister using some emergency clause he had never heard of, and he was even forbidden to report to Commander Bright, Dr. Lingus or anyone else due to the sensitivity of the matter. Correct Only when he handed over his military power did he realize that he seemed to have been counted. The good thing is that Prime Minister Marcenas& is still calm and didn''t foolishly imprison him, but only sent a few people to monitor his movements. Correct He''s not much of an alcoholic, but he can''t help but want a drink when it comes to things like today. Correct "Give me a drink suitable for Virgo." He sat at the bar and ordered the bartender, glancing with his eyes at the "little followers" not far behind him and sighed deeply, "The Doctor''s daughter, the Commander''s son, ah, the wheels of fate are beginning to turn ¡­ " Correct The bartender with a serviceable smile on his face placed a glass of gin and tonic in front of him as if he hadn''t heard any complaints. Correct Half an hour later, the words "The Doctor''s daughter, the Commander''s son, the wheels of fate are beginning to turn", along with countless other sentences, either full of meaning or worthless, were sent from all corners of Dakar, relayed through layers of encrypted networks, and gathered in a server in China, and then summarized by several top intelligence experts. The analysis was turned into a reliable conclusion and submitted to someone. Correct At the end of the day, Ade, who was on the moon, received a text message from Wang Liu Mei, "Your daughter has been caught in Dakar." Correct "I found Mineva, she''s in Dakar." Ade put down his phone and looked around the living room, "Does anyone want to go with me?" Correct "I''m still in jail." Lacus said without looking up while typing, "I really want to accompany you, but unfortunately, there is really no way. Maybe about after twenty-three years later, there will be a chance?" Correct "You know that I can''t leave the moon because of Villkiss, and you deliberately seduce me with such questions." Ange puffed up her cheeks unhappily, "It''s too much, it''s just too much." Correct "Ade, I have learned one thing in my long life." C.C. looked meaningfully into the distance, "It turns out but whenever I get involved in your business, I''m bound to get things to mess up until I fall into a bottomless abyss and end up relying on you or Lacus or Ange to save the day. So I''ve decided that I don''t care about anything for the rest of my life. Besides, I''ve raised you for so many years, it''s your turn to raise me, right?" Correct Momoka was the only one who blinked her eyes with eagerness, but Ade shook his head at her cruelly. Without her, C.C. and Ange would& get everything in the house into a mess, and Lacus, who couldn''t stop herself from writing every day, couldn''t help a little on this matter. Correct "Me! Me!" Alice raised her hand excitedly, "I''m going with Ade!" Correct "Then Alice and I will go together." Ade stood up and headed for the second floor, "I''ll leave as soon as I''ve packed." Correct While walking, Ade picked up the phone, but just as he was going to type something like "Consider it as I owe your another favor", Wang Liu Mei sent another message. Correct "I don''t receive money and don''t ask me to consider it as a favor, I only need your time. Dr. Lingus must be faithful to his word." These words were shown on the phone screen, "If you don''t want those photos and videos to be seen by your woman (lol)."

The rhythmic, crisp tap of his expensive leather shoes on the solid wood flooring snapped into his heart, making him feel even more irritable. Correct "Senator Ronah, Senator Ronah, are you trying to get me killed?" Marcenas''s brow was deeply locked, the wrinkles on his face stacked ugly, "Once Lingus finds out his daughter is imprisoned in my place, don''t you know what will be the consequence?" Correct "What could be the consequence?" Korozo Ronah, who was standing aside, asked calmly, "Can he execute the Prime Minister of the Earth Federation in public?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Why not? Do you really think he wouldn''t dare? These NewTypes are mad men, they can do anything if they are provoked!" Marcenas stopped and glared at him, "You''re the only survivor of the Fourteenth Angel Zerel''s incident, have you forgotten that the souls of the Senators are still floating on the top of Kilimanjaro?!" Correct "Didn''t you always insist that the Kilimanjaro tragedy was an accident before?" Ronah teasingly raised the corner of his mouth, "If Lingus heard what you said just now, he would have misunderstood that you had some bad thoughts." Correct Marcenas subconsciously covered his mouth, stumbled for a long time before waving his arm hatefully, "And Noa''s son, he is still lying in the hospital. Do you want the Council and A-Laws to go to war? How can we fight him? Can you tear Gundams apart with your hands?" Correct "So, you are going to be a puppet for the rest of your life, watching the Earth gradually become the moon government''s colony?" Ronah snorted disdainfully, "Then I have nothing more to say, Prime Minister, hurry up and contact Lingus. If you hand me over to him voluntarily, maybe you can even get a lighter sentence." Correct "You wouldn''t understand if you hadn''t dealt with Lingus when he was really pissed off." Marcenas slapped the desk at his side in depression, "That is clearly out of the realm of humanity, even I, an ordinary person, can feel the fear. Facing him was like facing a higher being on the food chain, a warning from a biological instinct that hasn''t faded in 65 million years of human evolution." Correct "I don''t mean to doubt the truthfulness of your words, but what you say is too ¡­ ahem, too appalling." Ronah coughed awkwardly in order to hide the urge to laugh, "Even if he did evolve into some unknown creature, he would have to raise funds for the Wheel of Angels through peaceful means, find a crowning excuse for the Kilimanjaro tragedy, and maintain the alliance with Commander Noa carefully. In other words, he still has to play by the rules we set in the vast majority of cases." Correct Marcenas twitched his eyebrows slightly, "You mean ¡­?" Correct "I don''t have as much experience in politics as you do, and I may be young and impulsive, so please laugh it off after hearing it, Your Excellency." Ronah changed into a smile full of confidence, "I am just an ordinary Federation Senator, not yet great enough to have a mind to consider for the sake of the Moon people or Coordinators. Since Lingus acts according to our ordinary human rules, he must take care of the interests of our ordinary humans." Correct "Why should the Moon people and the Coordinators be able to look down on all the living beings while billions of people must be forced to squeeze on the depleting Earth and scrimp on food and clothing for the Wheel of Angels? Why should the Federation Council, the spokesman for the will of all mankind, give away the universe to them?" Correct "Adrien Lingus, Haman Karn, and the traitor Bright Noa, they are the enemies that hinder the progress and happiness of all mankind!" Correct Hearing this, Marcenas had fully understood what Ronah wanted. In his long political career, creatures like him would appear from time to time. They are ambitious people, who usually have extraordinary abilities, a strong and extraordinary will, attractive ideas, and ambitious goals. Correct Marcenas is not an ambitious man, but he has been able to sit in the prime minister''s chair for many years because he is able to use all resources wisely. Correct At this thought, Marcenas naturally made a look of interest, "Senator Ronah, no, Korozo Ronah, is it your ideal to get all mankind to the universe?" Correct "It is enough that only humans who accept our advanced ideas go to the universe; let the wrecks emerge of themselves and perish of themselves on Earth." Ronah''s eyes let out a proud light, "Your Excellency, I want to build a new air garden for humanity in the starry sky in my lifetime, and recreate the Babylonian wonder of the cosmic century!" Correct Babylon is an empire! Marcenas thought to himself. The look in Ronah''s eyes reminded him of Char back in the day, who might have chosen to throw Junius 7 toward Earth with such fervent beliefs. If Char were still alive, he and Ronah would have had something in common. Correct But whether it''s Char or Ronah, they all face the same question, and that''s the point that concerns Marcenas the most, "What are you going to do about Lingus?" Correct "First of all, cut off his arms on Earth." Rona''s eyes turned cold, "Since Mufti, the leader of the evil society who kidnapped Lingus'' daughter and tried to blow up the Wheel of Angels, has already been caught, His Excellency, let''s shoot him on the spot without delay." Correct "When did we catch him? How didn''t I¡ª" Marcenas suddenly came to his senses, "You mean ¡­ " Correct "Hathaway Noa is Mufti, and he himself has already confirmed it by putting his handprint on the statement." Ronah''s gaze was sharp and incomparable, and his speech was getting faster and faster, "But Hathaway is after all Commander Noa''s son, it is better to let him personally sign to confirm. Considering Commander Noa''s emotions, we will not tell him Mufti''s true identity, right?" Correct "Afterwards, even if Commander Noa knew the truth, with his character, he& wouldn''t turn hostile to the Council. Then we will announce Lingus'' daughter as the victim. Even with Bright Noa''s good temper, I don''t believe that he will still stand on Lingus'' side. And that''s the time we can take over A-Laws." Correct "At that time, Lingus'' daughter and A-Laws will be both on our hands. Lingus'' private life is so rotten but until now have no heir, it is certain that he doesn''t have the ability to reproduce, and his daughter must be very important in his mind. With A-Laws, plus Lingus'' daughter, we will have enough power to fight him." Correct Marcenas was silent from the beginning to the end, obviously, he was in a fierce mental struggle. Ronah''s machinations were vicious and radical, but there was no denying that the plan was really feasible. He, Ronan Marcenas, is not willing to be a mascot, but he simply has no chance to take power! Correct Using Ronah''s ambition to let him and Lingus fight to the death, and then I get the final profit ¡­ is it possible? Correct "You know better than I do how terrible Lingus is." Ronah issued an ultimatum, "There is no possibility of a step-by-step fight with him. We can only do it, and there will never be a second chance." Correct "I ¡­" Beads of sweat slid down the side of Marcenas'' face, "We ¡­ we wait until Hathaway can stand up on his own before executing him. Otherwise, it''s out of the process." Correct "That''s natural." Ronah smiled gratefully, "You have made a wise choice." Correct Outside the office, Liddy Marcenas took two steps back with a shocked look on his face, then darted towards the room where Mineva was under house arrest. As the only son of Prime Minister Marcenas, no one in the Prime Minister''s residence would dare to stop him and ask him questions. Correct "Audrey!" He pushed the door open, entered the room, and then hurriedly closed the door behind him, "Something bad is going to happen!" Correct "Liddy-senpai?" Mineva, who was reading a book, looked up at him gracefully, "As I have said many times, please call me by my real name. My name is Mineva Lao Zabi, not Audrey Lingus." Correct "No, you are Audrey to me, you are Audrey in my heart forever!" Liddy shook his head hard, "No, no, no, this is not the time to talk about it. I just went to ask my father why he had you under house arrest, and I overheard that he was planning to use you against Dr. Lingus! You will be in danger at any moment!" Correct "Isn''t that the normal thing to do?" Mineva closed the book and stood up, "There''s no better chance than now to deal with Uncle Ade, those lurking ambitious people will jump out one by one on their owns." Correct "Ahhhhhhh, why, why are you Lingus and I am Marcenas, why can''t we be born in a normal family, otherwise, we wouldn''t suffer like this!" Liddy excitedly strode over to Mineva and shook her hand, "Audrey, let''s run away together!" Correct Mineva took a half step back to avoid Liddy''s outstretched hand, "Even if you can use your identity to get me out of the mansion, how are we going to escape with the airport and the station under strict control?" Correct "With MS! I have an RGZ-95C ReZEL of my own, it can turn into a plane!" Liddy immediately replied without thinking, "We can drive it to escape away, and I will protect you! Major Aker has been stripped of his military authority, no one can stop us now! And I know the gap in the light defense wall! We can definitely leave Dakar safely!" Correct "The north-south direction is densely populated, so are we heading east or west?" Mineva patiently followed his train of thought, "Does Senior Liddy intend to take me across the Atlantic or across the Great Desert? How will we get rid of the pursuers after that? How do we erase the trail? How can we determine the coordinates? How can we correct the course? How do we replenish the water supply? How can we repair the MS if it has malfunctioned? Where exactly is the destination? How to fake a legal identity after arriving at the destination? Any other plans after obtaining a legal identity?" Correct "I ¡­" Liddy was speechless, "Anyway, we must escape away from this place first. People must take the first step in order to step into the future, it is better than waiting to be killed here!" Correct "Not necessarily." Mineva shook her head firmly, "I think staying in this room will have a better chance of survival than running away aimlessly. Senior Liddy, thank you, I appreciate your kindness." Correct "Why don''t you just get it!" Liddy stomped his foot in hatred, "Just wait for me a little longer, Audrey, and I''ll find a way to get you out! For sure!" Correct After saying that, he ran out again. Mineva looked at the door of the room that was closed from the outside and sighed softly. Correct "A passionate and simple-minded young man with quite a crush on you." Char eased out from behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains, "Mineva, how do you feel about him?" Correct "No, I don''t want to talk about it now.& Thanks." Mineva turned around to look at him with a complicated expression, "Continue what you were saying earlier, you said you were going to take me to escape?" Correct "Yes, it''s all been arranged." Char subconsciously touched his still handsome face, "Thanks to Ronah''s input regardless of the cost, I can finally remove that damn mask, and Nanai was successfully rescued. Next, just let Ronah go to his own death, he is no match for Lingus." Correct "Nanai Miguel?" Mineva couldn''t help but let out a sneer when she heard the familiar name, "It''s really quite rare that there hasn''t been a replacement yet." Correct "At my age, it''s time to settle down, and you need a full home." Char was oblivious to the young girl''s sneer and continued with an air of self-effacement, "There''s no time to explain, it''s not too late for us to catch up on the road as father and daughter." Correct "What about Ple if I leave? She''s being held in a different part of the mansion." Mineva''s brow furrowed slightly, "Without me to vouch for her, she could easily become a victim of political struggle, and I can''t just leave her behind." Correct "Lingus will naturally save her life." Char tossed the hooded cloak in his hand to Mineva, "There''s no reason that Lingus hasn''t mastered your whereabouts by now. Theoretically, he will be arriving in person at any moment, and we must leave before he shows up." Correct Mineva casually asked while putting on the cloak, "Where are we going next?" Correct "To the desert." A nostalgic smile appeared on Char''s face, "And I wonder if that tavern is still there."

Correct "Then I''ll be straightforward, I don''t believe in any Ark Plan at all, so I won''t be foolish enough to pay sky-high prices to build myself a coffin." The slender fingers wrapped by silk gloves gently rubbed the porcelain in her palm, "How much the Vist family has paid is their business, I don''t care, but I can tell you clearly that the Wang family won''t pay a single penny." Correct "Why?" Ade pushed the information in front of her that had been pushed back by Wang Liu Mei across the room again, "I think I''ve explained very clearly. Then what''s the reason for your suspicion?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "You yourself." Wang Liu Mei pressed her teacup on the stack of papers and winked playfully, "As we are now speaking Chinese as a matter of course, I have always had the feeling that, although you are a moon person, you think as if you are from the same country as I do. And in our worldview, an import like Noa''s Ark was never the first choice. But now, you seem to have it all figured out, showing no frustration at all of being forced to settle for second best." Correct Ade tried to keep his face straight, but he sighed in his heart. Why are women in this world so smart? Why can''t all the cute girls be like Ple? Correct "The Wheel of Angels is definitely not some kind of ark for escaping, but a complimentary piece of work that you are confident to solve the problem once and for all. I don''t care a word about scientific principles, this is a judgment made out of my knowledge of you personally." Wang Liu Mei proudly patted the silk fabric that was held up high on her chest, "Dr. Lingus, am I right?" Correct Ade''s face remained unchanged throughout, "No comment." Correct "You also know that many families and consortiums are suspicious of our close cooperation, they are waiting to see what I choose. If I refuse, then I think it will be difficult to raise the start-up capital of the Wheel of Angels in place." Wang Liu Mei twisted the ponytail on the right side and played with it at her fingertips, "Dr. Lingus, it seems things are not good?" Correct Ade had to admit that she hit the nail on the head of his biggest fears. The amount of money needed for the Wheel of Angels was astronomical, and it would be difficult to get it off the ground without a foolish and wealthy capper. He also wanted to slowly eliminate these capital assholes, but what he lacked most was time. Correct After repeated calculations and checks by him and Ayanami Rei, the Wheel of Angels must be started within this year at the latest, otherwise, it will not be in time for the best time to cut the Earth. The next such perfect timing is after five hundred years, and the Forerunner''s Halo Array will not wait for him five hundred years. Correct He even thought of using force to forcefully rule the world, but that would cause devastating damage to the world, and the Wheel of Angels would likely be unable to complete in time. He never wanted to take such a risk before the last moment. Correct "These greedy families and consortiums will only contribute money and effort when they are trying to stay alive for themselves, so the Ark Plan is a very appropriate choice. I guess you also want to take this opportunity to cash in more wealth into capacity, and by the way, achieve some ulterior motives in the distant future?" Wang Liu Mei covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "Oh, I guessed right again? Will I be killed and silenced?" Correct As Wang Liu Mei said, if even she refused, then the attitude of others would be worse. Ade thought it was time to start seriously developing a plan for global unification. It is not that Ade doesn''t want to evolve peacefully, but this group of self-righteous calabash even doesn''t give him a fulcrum ¡­ Correct "What you need is probably just a fulcrum." Wang Liu Mei keenly caught the fleeting look of surprise in Ade''s eyes and could not help but smile even more happily, "As the head of the Wang family, I am one of the few people who have the ability to give you this fulcrum." Correct "Do you think I would believe that?" Ade asked rhetorically, "Something as absurd as Miss Wang being an individual who has betrayed her own class?" Correct "It was hard to get to where I am now, and the world has been turned into this way by you, what''s the point of not living according to our own preferences?" Wang Liu Mei narrowed her eyes, "Three times the start-up capital you asked for just now, plus I personally used the Wang family''s reputation as a guarantee to lobby other forces. Your Wheel of Angels will certainly be able to start construction as soon as possible." Correct "And what''s the condition?" Ade was secretly on guard. Correct "For a moment just now, I''m afraid you were thinking about something terrible? I actually produced the illusion that what was sitting in front of me was not a human, but a beast, which made me very ¡­ " Her pink tongue licked her lips," Well, interested. After all, I have also reached this age. Props are good, but I still want to try a living¡ª" Correct "I refuse." Ade said categorically, "I can''t betray them." Correct "''Betray'', ''them'', I really don''t understand how you justify linking those two words together, or does Dr. Lingus actually think he''s rather innocent?" Wang Liu Mei put up a finger to her red lips, "One day, I''ll buy you a day with everything I just said. Dr. Lingus, grab the chance. You snooze, you lose." Correct The satisfaction of personal moral purity and the saving of all human lives are placed on opposite ends of the scale. Which is more important? Correct "When is ¡­?" Ade closed his eyes in resignation. Correct The sound of silvery laughter mixed with the "clatter" of heels hitting the floor was particularly harsh, and a few seconds later, there was an extra weight of one person on his body. Soft, elastic objects pressed against the chest through the clothes, and warm, long exhales rustled around the ears. Correct "Now." Correct Ade snapped his eyes open and the monotonous street scene outside the car window was sweeping backward. He raised his right hand and rubbed his brow hard, trying to dispel the bad memories from his mind. Correct "Ade, Ade, you''re awake!" Alice''s cold touch came from the palm of his hand, "I went my way over from Dakar and found the location of her home server, but I tried several times but couldn''t hack into it. Well, she probably used a lot of resources to protect those videos and photos." Correct "Forget it, then." Ade sighed, "With her caution, there may be an isolated physical backup. Even if we deleted the things on her computer, it wouldn''t work." Correct "Ade, Ade," Alice put her arms around him, "So many mangas I''ve read have similar plots, will Ade turn into a meat stool at this rate?" Correct Ade raised his hand and hit her head hard, "Where did you learn these words? Don''t read those messy things!" Correct However, the girl''s silver hair didn''t even move, and issued a "thump" of a crunch. Correct Aker, who volunteered to be the driver in the front row, glanced in the rearview mirror and decided to pretend he hadn''t heard anything. Correct Ten minutes later, the limousine pulled up at the front door of the Prime Minister''s residence, and Ade got out with Alice in tow, nodded to Aker, who offered to open the door for him, and then walked straight into the interior of the residence as if no one was there. Correct "Dr. Lingus." Marcenas cautiously followed behind Ade, "Please come with me to the parlor for a moment, you came in such a hurry that I didn''t have time to prepare." Correct "It''s time to get ready." Ade gave him an indifferent glance and walked himself to the second floor, "His Excellency is old, it is better to make preparations early." Correct From just now to now, the invisible aura had been forcing Marcenas breathing difficulties, and now this cold glance almost made his heart defense instantly collapse. His mind only left the most instinctive biological desire to survive ¡ª this was Lillith''s most precious gift to her children to protect them. Correct "Korozo Ronah, it''s Korozo Ronah!" Shuddered Marcenas, shouting that name, "He intends to plant Mufti''s identity on Hathaway Noa, then trick Bright into signing the verdict, and then clamp down on you by controlling your daughter!" Correct "Why would he do that?" Ade asked softly, "There has to be a proper reason." Correct "Because, because ¡­" Marcenas swallowed hard. In a life-and-death situation, he finally exploded with all his wisdom and potential, "Because he is Mufti, and in order to hide his identity, he must frame others! Dr. Lingus, I never thought there would be such scum in the council! Execution! He must be executed! Major Aker, please arrest Korozo Ronah immediately!" Correct Graham Aker gave Ade an enquiring look, finding that he didn''t object, so Aker took his leave with great interest. Correct "Time is hard to pass after retirement, His Excellency, you''d better prepare more hobbies for yourself." Ade turned his head to Marcenas with a slight smile, "There are also some people in the council who will retire too, maybe you can start a bridge club?" Correct "Yes, that sounds good. The bridge is very suitable for us." Marcenas nodded repeatedly, and his back had completely drenched in sweat. Correct Ade didn''t answer, but suddenly stopped at a door. Alice waved her hand casually. Marcenas only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and the door, which should be locked, was pushed open by Ade without resistance. Correct The single ponytailed girl was sitting curled up on the sofa with her legs in her arms. When she heard the noise, she lifted her face from between her knees and looked at the door. Her big, round eyes immediately became watery. The young girl didn''t even bother to put on her shoes and rushed to the visitor and threw herself into his arms and cried out with a "wow". Correct "Okay, okay, it''s okay, it''s okay." Ade gently stroked her head, with the illusion that what was in his arms was a ten-year-old Mineva magnified twice over. Correct "Mineva, Mineva, she ¡­" Ple craned her neck and wiped her tears, "Mineva was taken by a NewType I don''t know." Correct ¡­ Correct "There''s a feeling of nostalgia." Char glanced at the young girl in the passenger seat beside him with his afterglow, "I thought of the time when I rescued you from Haman''s watch, it was just like now." Correct Mineva supported one hand on the car window and didn''t speak, just silently looking out of the window. The SUV had been in the desert for a long time, but Mineva could not see any change in the surrounding scenery. Correct "Actually, my betrayal was also in Nunnally''s plan, right?" Char gleefully met Mineva''s stunning eyes, "Luring out potential enemies of the Federation Council in advance, giving Lingus a reason to cleanse the Council, and getting rid of me as a destabilizing factor in the process. Very smart plan, that''s that woman''s usual style." Correct "Since you know that, why are you still doing it? Are you that confident that you can outsmart everyone?" Mineva looked at the blond man in front of her with confusion, "Dad, I don''t understand." Correct "Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and the person who saves the world is most likely to destroy it, so someone must always be on guard against Lingus, or even be able to check and balance him and replace him, which Nunnally clearly cannot do. Not only her, but Bright, Haman, and Diana all failed to do so. Nonetheless, they even became the mass of this twisted black hole themselves." Char said in a deep voice, "Mineva, this is not a healthy way for this world to function." Correct "And in what capacity did you say the above statement?" Mineva turned her head to look out the window again, "Casval Rem Deikun? Or Char Aznable?" Correct "The vengeful undead are long dead." Char smiled blandly, "I am Edward Mass now, was and will be." Correct Mineva sniffed and let out a soft sigh, "Daddy, do you really love me?" Correct "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn''t risk my life doing such a thing." Char rightfully replied, "I have planned it for you, Marcenas is bound to step down after Lingus conducts a major purge. And after his step down, the best option left is the Vist family''s second son, Banagher. This person is indecisive and is the best entry point to destroy the Vist family and Lingus'' alliance ¡­" Correct Char was still droning on, but Mineva didn''t want to hear any more. There was nothing strange about what he was saying, rather it fit perfectly with who he was, but what was scary was that he actually thought he loved her and was convinced of it. Correct "It''s because you know that you can''t get it anyway that you have such twisted emotions, right?" She stared blankly at the sand and thought in a borderline manner, "Sister Nunnally, what do you think?" Correct With the last illusion, Mineva decided to interrupt Char after long hesitation, "Dad, when I was under house arrest by Marcenas, only Beargguy and my cell phone were taken away, I was not searched." Correct "What?!" Char slammed on the brakes, and with that came yellow sand flying in the air, "Do you still have the device on you that can send messages to Nunnally?" Correct "Well, this is it." Mineva pulled a trinket out of her pocket, "Suzaku Kururugi might be on his way, is it too late for me to throw it away?" Correct Without hesitation, Char opened the passenger door lock, "Mineva, you get out of the car first, I will come back to save you in the future!

The girl waved her arms excitedly, looked at Ade like a pet, shook her head, and the dust raised by the action made the latter cough. Correct "Can the ventilation system work?" Alice nodded under Ade''s gaze, "Then open it." Correct Dozens of seconds later, fresh air poured in. After completing the task, Alice walked lightly out of the general control room, and Ade carefully followed her and carefully looked at the environment around her. Correct Unlock this chapter. "It looks like a deserted base, and it should belong to a small or medium-sized secret association." Ade''s eyes crossed the narrow corridor and finally landed on the accumulated dust at the corner. "Has this been abandoned for many years?" Correct "All the data in the database has been formatted. It should have been formatted many times. I can''t recover it." Alice turned to face him and walked backward with her hands on her back. "According to the built-in clock in the power supply, the last shutdown record was in U.C. 0089." Correct "U.C. 0089?" Ade was quite sensitive to this number, which was the year he was "born" again. Correct "Well, in U.C. 0089, when Ade was still¡­" Alice''s voice stopped abruptly. The girl accidentally lost her balance because she walked backward and fell forward - yes, forward, for some reason, she didn''t fall back in accordance with the laws of Physics - with an exclamation, "Oh!" Correct Ade quickly catches Alice, who hugged him and rubbed him twice in his arms before reluctantly standing again. She knew that it was on the way to find Mineva, which was not a good time to do something. Correct "Walk well and look at the way." Ade knocked on Alice''s long hair with silver luster, and scolded her falsely. He had always been extremely conniving at Alice''s repeated "false fall" behavior. Correct "Hey, hey." Alice didn''t look embarrassed on her face. "Ade, Ade, I can''t find the trace of human activities at all. Are we cheated¡­ Eh, I found a strange device. It seems that we''ve seen something similar in Rei''s laboratory." Correct "Rei? Lead the way." Ade followed behind Alice closely, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number. The phone rang the second time and was connected. "Liu Mei, is there a problem with the information you gave? This is an abandoned base and there is no trace of human activities." Correct "Hey, can you calculate the time difference before each call? Do you know what time it is in the morning of Beijing time? I''ve never served such a difficult customer like you. If you go on like this, I''ll really raise the price." The complaint came from the other end with a big yawn, "I can guarantee the authenticity of the information with my life, but I don''t rule out the possibility that someone deliberately leaked false information to me." Correct Ade knew from his heart that now many people had guessed that he was looking for his daughter all over the world. It''s only natural that someone wants to take the opportunity to use fake information to mislead him. Correct "I''m sorry for my bad attitude, Liu Mei" Ade immediately apologized, "it''s about Mineva''s safety. I''m a little impatient." Correct "It doesn''t matter. I''m not angry at all." The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, "For some reason, every time I hear your personal apology, there will be an inexplicable sense of superiority. I don''t want to understand the principle, but it doesn''t prevent me from enjoying it." Correct While they were talking, Ade finally entered a room with a sense of science and technology after seven turns with Alice. He was stunned at the moment he stepped into the room. Correct "Here it is." Alice pointed to the same thing in the central sleeping cabin of the room. "I''ve seen something similar to this in Rei''s laboratory, but she didn''t tell me what it was for, and I didn''t ask." Correct However, Ade recognized it at a glance. This is an old model of Innovator Conversion Device. "Lacus''s abandoned secret base? In U.C. 1989, no wonder it was in U.C. 1989¡­" Correct "What? Lacus?" Wang Liu Mei didn''t seem to understand what he was talking about. "I just said that even if someone plotted against you, there''s nothing to worry about. Your body is like an angel, and Alice is still with you. It''s really hard to imagine that anyone can hurt you." Correct As soon as she said, the sudden palpitation made Ade get nervous. Just as he was about to give instructions to Alice, Alice fell into his arms without warning - this was definitely not a fake fall. Correct "Ade, I feel terrible." The girl looked up at him, and her face was full of weakness, "No strength, the body doesn''t move. I must be invaded by a virus. The cells are producing antibodies, which is expected to take more than 72 hours." Correct Alice''s shell was still well maintained in human shape, and didn''t turn into a pool of liquid metal. Therefore, it seems that it is not a fatal virus. It can be cured as long as the antibody is generated. Ade thought quickly. What forces in the human circle have the ability to create a virus that can paralyze Alice? Correct No, not one, except himself. Correct "DG virus? Ventilation system? No, all finished products and materials are strictly controlled. Only Rei and I are qualified to¡­ wait¡­ I took the samples home that day when I was going to heal Alice. I remember Lacus brought one back, and then I took both¡­ Wait, have I used the backup?" Ade was shocked, "Liu Mei, help me - Hello? Liu Mei?" Correct Liu Mei''s answers were the same intermittent "hello" and anxious "what''s going on" and "can you hear me" in the speaker. Correct "The concentration of Minovsky particles is rising." While carefully putting Alice on the ground, Ade quickly described the current situation to the other end, but he didn''t know how much Wang Liu Mei could hear. "It''s a trap." Correct "¡­ Ade¡­ Insist¡­ Be careful¡­ Save you¡­ Wait for me¡­" Correct Then the communication was completely lost. Correct Ade didn''t panic, but waited quietly. If he''s right, the other person just wants to get rid of Alice and create a chance to talk to him alone. Correct About five minutes later, a consciousness that was too familiar appeared in his perception. The consciousness fell from the sky to the ground, entered the base, moved to the same floor as him, and then walked towards him in an orderly way. In his mind, the complex emotions of intense and calm, joy and irritability appear from far to near. Ade couldn''t recognize them clearly and didn''t want to recognize them at all. Correct He didn''t know how many milliseconds had passed, or how many microseconds had passed, the sound of footsteps finally sounded not far away, tapping in his heart step by step. The electronic door opened and a figure appeared at the door. Correct She was not as thin as she used to be. Although she was still slim, she didn''t give people a sense of weak. The thin sword hanging around her waist added a sense of heroism to her. Compared with the past, she had grown a lot taller. Now she could at least reach his neck. Unfortunately, her slender legs were covered under her long skirt, so he couldn''t see them clearly. Even her chest bulged a lot, not like a junior high school student at all? Correct The only constant was her soft facial features and her naturally curly brown hair, just like in the past. Correct "Long time no see." Ade felt a little thirsty because his voice suddenly became a little hoarse. Correct "Exactly, seven years and 195 days." The comer smiled at him calmly, "Mr. Lingus, are you all right?" Correct Ade breathed a sigh of relief for no reason when he heard that the other party still said honorifics as it did seven years ago. It''s just honorific words. This is the only distance he can confidently grasp. Otherwise, he may not even know how to talk to her normally - he still doesn''t whether he should call her mother or sister. Correct "You''ve changed a lot." Ade tried to keep a natural tone. "You asked Mineva to steal the DG virus for you? This kind of thing can''t pass the security check. How did she give it to you?" Correct "I haven''t seen you for such a long time, and the first topic is questioning¡­" Nunnally lowered her eyes. "It was sent to me hidden in a lovely bear doll. I''m afraid no one has the courage to open the doll sent by your daughter, right?" Correct "So your revenge drama has begun, hasn''t it?" Ade sighed. "I was the one who wanted to kill your brother. Just come to me. Mineva is still a child. Why deceive her and involve her? You know how much she trusts you." Correct "Mineva is still a child¡­" Nunnally couldn''t help laughing. "Don''t get me wrong. I''ve never cheated Mineva, and I haven''t even told her a lie. Moreover, the child is more sensitive than you think, and can easily see through lies and malice." Correct "It seems that our definition of deception is different." Ade shook his head. He found it hard for him to get angry until now. He even trusted the person in front of him in a corner of his heart, "Say it, your purpose. What do you want me to do after doing so much?" Correct "Actually, at that time, I also thought about secretly leaving a back door for myself and directly using drugs to make you lose your ability to move. But I also thought that if your enemy was lucky and hit that weakness, it would be too bad. So, I had to move my eyes to Mineva." Nunnally made a gesture of invitation, "Can you pass out obediently?" Correct "Where''s mineva?" Ade measured the distance between them while asking rhetorical questions. Correct Seeing Nunnally come alone, Ade began to consider a plan to subdue her without hurting her. Although his athletic ability has not made a qualitative leap with his vitality, he had humbly asked Momoka for a lot of close combat skills over the years - it''s a shame to wait for his wives to save him every time. Correct "She''s still waiting in the palace for me to take you back. You can see her when you open your eyes again." Nunnally smiled sweetly at him, "As long as you cooperate, I won''t hurt her." Correct "Since so ¡ª" Ade said and suddenly rushed toward Nunnally at an incredible speed. Just as his hand was about to touch her, he saw the figure in front of him shaking like a ghost, followed by a pain in the back of his head, and then he didn''t know anything. Correct "If you can''t fight, don''t come close to fight. Really, what can I say¡­" Nunnally smiled bitterly and held Ade''s fainted body, "Well, it''s unexpectedly pleasant?" Correct ¡­¡­ Correct When Ade opened his eyes again, Mineva appeared in front of him as Nunnally promised, but in a way that was somewhat unexpected. Correct The room where Ade was located was not large, and there was no natural light source. The room was decorated with a warm pink color. The room probably belonged to a girl, but the dense electronic equipment on the wall ruthlessly destroyed the overall decoration style of the room. Correct He himself was lying flat on a piece of furniture that was probably a bed. His wrists and ankles were handcuffed to the bed by metal tools, and he could see a large plush doll similar to Beargguy at the head of the bed. A strange girl was sitting on him now, her face flushed with shame or excitement. Correct "Finally willing to recognize the reality?" The strange girl leaned down and rubbed his cheek intimately. Ade only felt a strange sense of oppression in front of his chest, "I''ve grown up. Hum?" Correct His proud brain was blank, all brain cells were down, and generally refused to work. He couldn''t analyze the current situation and didn''t know how to get away. Just matching the face and name of the girl in front of him exhausted all his mind. No, not at all. The little girl in his memory was definitely not like this¡­ Correct "The best way to deal with self deception is to hit him in the face with shocking facts. Am I right, Mineva?" Nunnally''s voice came from about the direction of the door. "Do you need my help?" Correct "Please leave us alone, Sister Nunnally." Mineva stood up vigilantly, and the tone suddenly became icy cold. "Even you are not allowed to disturb the most important moment." Correct "Just kidding. Don''t take it seriously." The entrance of the room was gradually covered by a mechanism, and Nunnally''s teasing voice gradually decreased, "We are all NTs, you understand." Correct "Everyone is NT, I understand." Mineva mumbled it again, then shook her head, put her hands on Ade''s chest and stared into his eyes. "Now, no one will disturb us." Correct "Can you get off me first and then untie the restraint?" Ade tried his best to concentrate and try to resume thinking. "You''re too impulsive now. We need to talk about it." Correct "I refuse." Mineva began to unbutton her buttons. Her milk like skin reflected an attractive luster under the lighting. "I''m not a child anymore. I have the right to decide my life, and this is my decision." Correct "Don''t take it off. Wait a minute!" Ade looked away from her at once. Correct "Don''t take off the clothes and stockings? Oh, I understand." Mineva put her hand into her clothes, pulled out a piece of cloth, and put it aside. "The home is unexpectedly small, isn''t it?" Correct Endless remorse filled Ade''s chest, and the long-forgotten memory suddenly woke up. 8 or 9 years ago, Char warned him about his abnormal family environment. At that time, he was full of ELS in his mind and didn''t take Char''s words seriously. Now there is retribution. Correct "Not so." He could only argue in vain, "Only two people in love can do this kind of thing -" Correct "I love you." The girl kissed quickly on his lips, and there was a glimmer in her slightly moist eyes, "Don''t you love me?" Correct "Love is different from love." Ade had never wanted to escape from reality like this. "This kind of thing requires the consent of both people -" Correct "Liar. Didn''t she force you to do it with you? And Lacus, it could be regarded as seduction, right?" Mineva clenched her lower lip with her upper teeth and gently stroked his chest with her soft fingers. Her face became more and more red. "You said no, but your body is very honest." Correct "We can''t do this!" Ade closed his eyes and shouted desperately, "You''re my daughter!" Correct Mineva didn''t answer, but took a deep breath and pressed down. The sense of tearing ran through the whole body instantly. The severe pain that had never been experienced made the girl''s whole body tense, and ten finger marks on Ade''s chest were clearly visible. After a long time, as if time finally began to slowly pass, Mineva gasped and crawled on his chest, with a happy and sweet smile on her face. Correct "So what?" She stretched out her tongue and licked him playfully. "We are all daughters. Why can''t I?"

(Currently 34 votes/ 8 reviews/ on 532 reading lists) Publish Time: 2022-05-04 12:40:00 A+A- Translated by: WuWang Edited by: Chapter 235: On the Wheel of Angels Correct Ade stared dully at the ceiling, and his pupils were as empty as if they had lost focus. The girl who was his nominal adopted daughter not long ago snuggled up to his side, and her soft and slender index finger moved weakly. Correct As if to make up for all the lost time in these years, Mineva wantonly squandered her physical strength and tried everything she had seen, heard, and wanted to do. Even in the few short breaks, due to the lack of Ade''s self-defense function, she could still easily continue to stimulate his body by various means. Correct However, after more than ten hours of high-intensity exercise, even if Mineva is young and energetic, she can''t hold on. Her hair cluttered her sweaty forehead. Her rapid and greedy breathing exposed her weakness at the moment, and her muscles were extremely sore due to a lack of oxygen. Correct Unlock this chapter. With the gradual decrease of dopamine concentration in the body, Ade''s eyes finally began to recover. No matter how confused his thoughts are, he must stop Mineva''s reckless action at present. Mineva is a living human, she can''t withstand it. Correct "Take a break, Mineva. If you continue, I''m afraid it will cause permanent damage to your body." Looking at the girl''s tired look, Ade whispered painfully, "Take a hot bath, eat something and have a good sleep. I can''t run away anyway. You don''t have to hurt yourself." Correct Mineva stood up and looked at him with difficulty at the sound, and her eyes were full of complicated expressions. Just as Ade was about to say something, the girl suddenly bowed her head, blocked his mouth, and tore up his lips. She didn''t stop until the bloody smell spread on the tip of her tongue. Correct "Don''t talk to me in that tone¡­" Mineva looked at him with begging eyes. "We''ve done everything. I''ve done everything they''ve done. Haven''t my heart been reaching you yet? It still didn''t work even if I have done so far?" Correct "Mineva," Ade dodged the girl''s sight with a guilty look, "Listen to me¡­" Correct "Why?" Mineva shivered and interrupted, "Why can''t I love you like C.C.?" Correct "Enough, Mineva, give yourself some dignity." Nunnally''s voice came from the direction of the entrance. The young woman with a thin sword hanging on her waist slowly stepped into Ade''s vision. "Mr. Lingus is not a superficial role that gets carried away by sex. What''s wrong with honestly admitting your failure?" Correct "Sister Nunnally?!" Mineva nervously rolled out of bed and stood between Ade and Nunnally. "Please give me a little more time, I can ¡ª" Correct "It''s time. I''ve complied with the agreement. It''s your turn next." Nunnally looked over Mineva''s body and involuntarily raised her eyebrows. "Even the pillow you gave me is dirty. How can I use it in the future? I can''t continue to sleep with it after washing it, right?" Correct "Sorry, I''m a little out of shape." Mineva, who knew she was wrong, blushed, but still looked at Nunnally stubbornly, "But can we stop here? After the successful revenge, there is only emptiness left. I don''t want Sister Nunnally to be like that." Correct "Do you want to go back now, or do you think it doesn''t matter after you finish your long cherished wish?" Nunnally narrowed her eyes, put her left hand close to her waist and tapped her five fingers on the scabbard. "Mineva, but it''s not good to be too selfish." Correct Ade suddenly had a warning in his heart. However, before he had time to do something, Mineva fell into Nunnally''s arms with a "pa". Correct "Little girls are easy to rebel when they grow up. You know this better than me, right?" Nunnally took the girl in her arms and smiled at Ade. "The end of the revenge drama is about to begin. I''ll wait for you at the last stage. Mr. Lingus, we''ll see each other later." Correct Mineva is a "hostage" - watching Nunnally turn away, Ade instinctively understood this. Correct "By the way, can you come alone?" Nunnally said without looking back, "After all, this is only our ending." Correct When Ade regained his freedom, Nunnally had left with Mineva for more than two hours. A maid with an oriental face entered the secret room according to Nunnally''s instructions, untied him, bathed and dressed him, and told him that a guest was looking for him. Following the maid into a reception room, Ade saw an unexpected person. Correct "What a coincidence." C. C. put down her tea cup and nodded calmly to him, "I arrived here 15 minutes ago. I didn''t expect you to be here." Correct Ade sat uneasily next to C.C. and managed to sort out some messy thoughts. He didn''t even notice that the maid had left after bowing to them. Correct "Your breathing suddenly became disordered, your eyes were erratic, and your hands¡­ you look like you don''t know where to put them." C. C.''s golden pupils flickered dangerously, "Did you do something that makes you feel guilty to me?" Correct Ade was stunned. What should he say now? I was fucked by Mineva? I was confused and helpless? I didn''t know what to do? Isn''t it a little shameless to say such a thing to her now? Correct "Yes, I did." Ade raised his head and took a deep breath. "Mineva and I ¡ª" Correct "All right." C. C. smiled and put her index finger on her lips. "I don''t need you to explain to me now. I know you''re not feeling well." Correct "I¡­" Ade suddenly responded, "You knew it would be like this?" Correct "Sixty or seventy percent." C. C. picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip. "No matter how cold and heartless I was, I watched her grow up. What else can I do? Kill her?" Correct Seeing that Ade was silent, C.C. sighed helplessly, "By the way, Alice has been sent home, and Ikari checked and said she''s okay. Ange wanted to come and was stopped by me. She finally remembered that TurnA was demolished by you. Now she can''t leave the moon." Correct "Thank you." Ade rubbed his eyebrows. Correct "Also, don''t let messy women call home in the future." Watching Ade sit up as nervous as a primary school student, C.C. couldn''t help but raise the corners of her mouth. Even the cold voice line was with a faint smile. "I''ll let you go this time. It''s not an example." Correct Ade suddenly felt that his eyes were a little wet for no reason, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. Correct "Go ahead, it''s up to you." C.

Five concentric rings with different radii were rotating slowly around the main control room at the center of the circle, and the diameter of the outermost ring was up to 20 kilometers. This is the Wheel of Angels, the largest wonder in human history. Correct Ade''s ship sent a login request to the fleet stationed on the Wheel of Angels, and soon a blue and white MS approached. The people on board quickly recognized that this MS was the famous hi- ¦Í Gundam, belonging to Colonel Amuro Ray, deputy commander of the special force on the Wheel of Angels. Correct "Adrien, what happened?" Amuro''s voice sounded directly in his consciousness, "It feels like you''re¡­ mentally unstable? I haven''t seen you like this for years. What do you need me to do?" Correct "It''s just about Mineva. Don''t worry, I can solve it." Ade responded vaguely, "Has Nunnally been here?" Correct Unlock this chapter. "Her Majesty? She''s been here for a while." Amuro didn''t ask much. He wouldn''t foolishly intervene when it was related to women. "She said she wanted to inspect the Wheel of Angels. After coming, she stayed in the core and didn''t leave. She has the same authority as Commander Bright, which is second only to you." Correct "That''s just right. I have something to do with her." Ade tried to pretend to be natural. "Just leave me alone. I''ll go to see her myself." Correct After saying goodbye to Amuro, the spacecraft sailed into the depths of the Wheel of Angels and finally docked at the core unit. Ade got off the ship alone and walked firmly to the main control room. At this position, he could clearly feel Nunnally and Mineva''s existence. With his deepening, there were fewer and fewer people nearby. When he reached the door of the main control room, there was no one at all. Correct Speaking by his conscience, Ade felt sorry for Nunnally. Nunnally trusted him back then, just as Mineva now trusts Nunnally, but he wanted to kill her brother in front of her. Although he will make the same choice no matter how many times he comes back, Nunnally''s injury is real. Correct However, although he betrayed Nunnally, at the critical moment, she still didn''t hesitate to bet her life to save him and give him life again. In other words, without Nunnally''s self-sacrifice, all humans would have become LCL by now. Correct So Ade has always felt guilty about Nunnally, and his guilt is even increasing day by day. No matter how many times Nunnally repeated the word "revenge", he never wanted to escape her revenge. So until now, he still believed that Mineva was a means used by Nunnally to elicit him and would never play any role in his and her plays. Correct So when Nunnally put irrefutable facts in front of him, he couldn''t believe his eyes. Correct "Mr. Lingus, you are here at last." In the empty main control room, Nunnally and Ade stood opposite each other, "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time." Correct Beside her, Mineva sat powerlessly on the ground with her back against the instrument. She was obviously drugged. The girl didn''t seem to notice Ade''s appearance, and she was still chattering, "Sister Nunnally, stop it, it''s different from what we agreed¡­" Correct "Of course not, because I added a play to myself." Nunnally chuckled and looked at Mineva along with Ade. "This is to ensure the authenticity of the revenge drama so that you don''t misunderstand me. I''ve been waiting for nine years for this day. I won''t allow you to not devote yourself to it." Correct "Is it necessary?" Ade looked anxiously at the girl, "It doesn''t matter how you hurt me. Why bother to involve Mineva?" Correct "Hurt you? How can I be willing to hurt you?" Nunnally opened her eyes in surprise. "And doing so will only make the people who love you sad. It''s not revenge at all. What I want to see is your sadness, your pain, your despair, your tears. Of course, it should hurt the people you cherish. Yes." Correct Nunnally''s sincere attitude was conveyed along the consciousness without any reservation, and her every word was undoubtedly true. Ade was shocked, and the NT radar in his mind began to alarm wildly, "What do you want to do?" Correct "You generously forgave my brother''s life, so I also want to give you a chance." Nunnally pulled out the thin sword around her waist with her left hand and held it flat forward. At the same time, she nuzzled her mouth towards the sword hanging on the wall. "Let''s Duel and let the person with blood on the sword win first. If you win, I''ll return Mineva to you unharmed, and that''s the end of our story." Correct "What if I lose?" Ade walked to the wall under her gaze and slowly pulled out the sword in the scabbard. The edge was cold. Correct "I put a small bomb near Mineva''s heart. If you lose, I''ll detonate it." Nunnally smiled and licked the corners of her lips. "Maybe she won''t die with good luck?" Correct "Are you crazy?!" Ade looked at her incredulously. "Do you think I''ll let you go after doing this?" Correct "What you want to do after that is your freedom. It doesn''t matter if you want to kill me. I just want this revenge play to be finished." Nunnally flicked the blade and made a crisp sound. "I''ve left a will. Even if I die, it will never affect your plan. It''s my honor to die in your hand." Correct "You''re really crazy¡­" Ade, who was well aware, walked back to his original position and stood with a sword in front of Nunnally. Correct "If you say it''s crazy, let it be." Nunnally''s five fingers clenched the handle of the sword, "But isn''t it you who made me like this?" Correct With a cold flash, Nunnally moved, and his dynamic vision couldn''t keep up with her speed. Ade could only follow his NT sense and flick his sword, bouncing off the other party''s blade. Correct "I could have lived a peaceful life with my brother, could have silently continued to admire you, could have been happy to be the Queen, could have cooperated with you to complete your great cause of saving mankind, but wasn''t it you who personally destroyed all the beauty in front of me?" Correct The swords collided violently in the air over and over again. Correct "You know what? I worship you, I despise you, I admire you, I disdain you, I look forward to you, I envy you, I trust you, I suspect you, I get close to you, I hate you, I love you, I detest you, I¡­!" Correct The sound of metal impact was heard all the time. Correct "Speak! Why don''t you speak? It''s not like you at all. Hurry to make me speechless with your most proud sophistry!" Correct With an electric "miso" sound in his head, Ade waved the sword that completely followed his instinct, and the blade miraculously bypassed Nunnally''s defense and pierced her eyebrows. Nunnally smiled and bumped her head against the tip of the sword. Correct Seeing that her head was about to be pierced, Nunnally tilted her head slightly. The blade touched her cheek, and a bunch of beautiful hair drifted away. Correct Then a sharp pain came. Ade looked down and saw that the thin sword had penetrated his right shoulder. Nunnally let go of the hilt of the sword and jumped into Ade''s arms through the inertia of the forward rush, and their foreheads hit each other gently. Correct "I beat you." She showed a childlike innocent smile, then stepped back, and a small remote control appeared in her hand, "Go and say goodbye to Mineva?" Correct Just as Ade threw away the thin sword pulled from his shoulder and rushed to Nunnally, Mineva''s body suddenly vibrated with Nunnally''s action and collapsed to the ground. A cluster of blood bloomed on her chest, and the pungent smell of rust filled the whole main control room. Correct Ade''s mind suddenly went blank. He rushed to Mineva and held her in his arms. The girl choked hard, and a bright red blood mark crossed from the corner of the girl''s mouth to her white neck until it fell below the collarbone. Correct "¡­ Uncle Ade?" Mineva seemed to finally recover a little consciousness and struggled to raise her arm, "Don''t hurt¡­ Sister Nunnally¡­ She¡­" Correct "Don''t talk." Ade immediately took her raised hand. "There''s a doctor stationed on the Wheel of Angels. We''ll ¡ª" Correct "Come on, Uncle Ade¡­" Mineva shook her head weakly, and her upper and lower eyelids had narrowed into a seam. "I¡­ can I love you like C.C.?" Correct "¡­" Ade''s vision was blurred and he could only nod with a choking voice. Correct "That''s great¡­" Mineva closed her eyes with a smile and her voice was so low, "I love¡­" Correct In the next second, self blame, pain, regret, despair, and overwhelming negative emotions constantly beat Nunnally''s consciousness. The shock wave made her breathing more and more rapid, her face more and more flushed, and her two strands trembled uncontrollably. Finally, with a spasm of her body, Nunnally uttered a low and gentle groan. The warm liquid soaked the pure cotton cloth and trickled down slowly along the inner side of her thigh. Correct "Mr. Lingus," Nunnally said, looking vaguely at the lost man in front of her, "The taste of revenge is really wonderful, don''t you think?"

At this moment, Ade finally fully understood why Lacus could unswervingly implement the Human Instrumentation Project. He doesn''t believe that anyone can exercise restraint in this situation - at least he can''t. Correct His love for Mineva before was totally equal to his hate for Nunnally now. He wanted to take away from Nunnally as much as he was willing to pay for Mineva. "Love" and "hate" have always existed on both sides of the same body. This is not only a gift given to him by Lilith, but also a shackle brought by Lilith to him. Correct ¡°Nunnally¡­¡­¡± Correct Unlock this chapter. He let his anger drive his body, picked up the sword that fell to the ground, and walked step by step to the owner of the name he was talking about. The woman who was called stood motionless as if possessed, with a brilliant smile on her face. Why? Why can she laugh so happily? Correct ¡°¡­¡­Nunnally£¡¡± Correct The cold shining blade came out from behind her, and the red blood beads hit the ground. Correct "Mr. Lingus, you¡­" Nunnally shook her head gently, endured the sharp pain in her chest, moved forward slowly, and didn''t stop until she was close to Ade''s face. "Are you finished venting? Can I read the last line?" Correct "What do you want to say?" Ade asked coldly. Correct "I want to say¡­" Nunnally smiled mischievously. "It''s too easy for NT to cheat another NT, Mr. Lingus. Congratulations on being cheated." Correct It was like being poured with a bucket of ice water, and the anger that was still burning one second cooled down the next. Correct "The measurement of explosives is designed, and there is a prepared blood bag in front of her chest. Maybe she will get some injuries, but it won''t be fatal. How sad you must be if she dies." Nunnally held Ade''s arm and tried to maintain her balance. "Your memory is really poor. Didn''t I just say that? How can I be willing to hurt you?" Correct After calming down, Ade began to carefully examine his spiritual field. Although Mineva''s consciousness was indeed slightly weak, it really existed here, with no sign of disappearing. Correct "Because of the inborn impulse as a NewType, you accidentally killed a girl who admires you. With endless life, you will feel guilty forever until the end of time." Nunnally smiled and coughed up a mouthful of blood, raised her right upper hand, and stroked his cheek. "Mr. Lingus, this is my revenge." Correct "Are you kidding¡­" Ade clenched his teeth. "Will I not be sad if you die? What kind of revenge is this?" Correct "You''ve been hiding from me for seven years. I thought you wouldn''t be sad at all. It seems a little miscalculated. Cough, but since it''s all like this, please accept the facts." Nunnally''s pupils began to dilate. "Although the pain is nothing compared with when you were born, I probably can''t hold on for too long. Can you talk with me about some happy topics at the last time?" Correct With a flash of a brilliant idea, something Ade had forgotten for seven years surged up from the depths of his memory, "Where is the supersolenoid of the sixteenth angel?" Correct Nunnally''s body stiffened violently. Correct "On you?" Ade quickly speculated the truth of the matter, "In order to prevent accidents that may hurt Mineva, you took S2 with you in case, did you?" Correct "No, I didn''t¡­" Feeling the touch from all over the body, Nunnally opened her eyes in horror, "Stop, it''s not on me, really, stop¡­" Correct Nunnally, who had lost too much blood, was too weak to resist. Ade ignored all her nonsense and fumbled on her while paying attention not to touch her wound. Correct "I warn you, if I don''t die, I will continue to trouble you. I will hurt Mineva, C.C., Lacus, Ange, Alice, Momoka, everyone¡­" Nunnally''s forehead was against Ade''s chest and her right hand was powerlessly beating his shoulder, "So! Please! Stop!" Correct "As an NT, I can''t hold on to the end of time in such a heavy sense of guilt. At least I don''t think I can." Ade finally found a blood red crystal from her pocket and handed it to her mouth, "Open your mouth." Correct Nunnally clenched her teeth and shook her head desperately, ignoring the wound on her chest, which worsened under her struggle. Ade had no choice but to violently pry open her mouth, insert the crystal into her mouth, and then try to force her to swallow the supersolenoid. Correct "Uh, uh¡­ Uh¡­ Uh ~ uh!" Correct Nunnally finally lost strength and swallowed it. After the blood-colored crystal slipped into her esophagus, it melted, penetrated into her internal organs, and lurked in the cells, and the physiological structure of her body began to change quietly. Correct "It hurts a little. Just bear it for a while longer." Ade took a deep breath, pressed her shoulder with his left hand, and pulled out the sword with a sudden force from his right hand. Plasma burst from the torn wound and splashed on Ade''s face and body. Then the wound began to heal automatically at an incredible speed. Correct "What is this?" Nunnally didn''t seem to be aware of the pain signal transmitted in the nerve. She just shouted hysterically, "I made my life like this irresponsibly. Now, do you have to deprive me of my only relief?! What''s this?!" Correct "How can I know? Think it yourself. If you really can''t get the answer¡­" Ade resolutely turned back to Mineva, picked up the unconscious girl, and walked to the door, "¡­ Then we won''t meet again." Correct Nunnally stood in the same place, staring at his leaving back, trying to say something to make him stop, but somehow she couldn''t spit out a word. Correct ¡­¡­ Correct In the spacecraft that sailed from the Wheel of Angels to the moon, Mineva, who just woke up, was lying on the hospital bed in the infirmary. Correct "I didn''t know it would be like this. Sister Nunnally didn''t agree with me at first." The girl took the quilt in both hands and covered half of her face, "I''m sorry." Correct "It''s too easy for NT to cheat another NT. It''s a wise saying¡­" Ade sitting on the edge of the bed was in a complex mood and managed the girl''s slightly messy bangs. There''s no way to explain the things on the Wheel of Angels. Fortunately, in his identity, he could just not explain it to anyone. "What''s the matter with the last sensational confession?" Correct Mineva blushed, "At that time, my head was dizzy and I didn''t know what happened, but I thought Sister Nunnally would never hurt me, so I¡­ Improvised." Correct "Worthy of being Lacus''s student¡­" Ade silently stroked his forehead with his hand. "I won''t intervene in your dealings with Nunnally in the future, but my relationship with her has ended. No matter what she wants, she is absolutely not allowed to involve me and my family." Correct "Yes." Mineva carefully pulled the quilt under her neck and peeped at his face, "So¡­ When can we go home?" Correct "It''s the last few days of summer vacation. Have a good rest and prepare for school next week." Ade lifted the quilt up again and covered the girl''s shoulder that was accidentally exposed outside. "When school starts again, it''s the third year of senior high school. Concentrate on the college entrance examination. As Lingus'' daughter, you''re not allowed to go to college by extra points." Correct Mineva''s eyes quickly darkened and became lifeless. Ade looked at her lonely appearance and was distressed. He hesitated whether he should do something. Correct In the past, pretending to be dumb, deceiving himself and others, and being unreasonable had always been his three magic measures, but now¡­ Ade tangled for a long time and finally leaned down and gave the girl''s lips a light kiss. Correct Mineva''s face turned red like a cooked lobster. After about a second, she chose to cover her whole head with the quilt. Correct "Ask Rei to give you a general examination after we go back." Ade was very embarrassed and tried to change the topic. "She is an expert in this field. Let her show you if there are any sequelae. After all, the injury is near the heart. If it really causes incurable permanent trauma, I can heal you with the nanobots." Correct "No!" Mineva quickly showed her head and immediately retracted, "At least not now. I''m still in development. Even if I can''t become as big as Sister Ange, I have the hope of approaching." Correct Mineva turned 17 this year, and her physical development was actually pretty good, but Ade thought the reference object she chose was a little unrealistic. He thought about Ange''s breasts at the age of 17 and decided not to comment on the issue. Correct The atmosphere became a little awkward. The two people didn''t know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, someone came to ease their embarrassment immediately. Mineva and Ade were very familiar with this person. Correct "Char? Where did he come from?" Ade just felt puzzled. "Didn''t he come to rob my daughter? Tsk, I would have asked to escort him by Amuro." Correct "Uncle¡­ Ade¡­" Mineva stretched out a small hand under the quilt and held his ring finger. "Be careful. He may be hostile to you." Correct "Fortunately, Amuro asked me to bring Unicorn with me this time." Ade took the girl''s hand, kissed her forehead intimately, and repeated the action more than once, "I''ll go back soon." Correct Ade''s sensing range is now much larger than the radar of ordinary spaceships. It was not until he leisurely drove the Unicorn Gundam out that the large Mobile Suit with Minovsky particles appeared in his vision. Correct The MS looked like a huge flower from a distance. Under each of the five petals, there were 25 tentacles that could be used for melee and shooting. With an amazing size, the MS was naturally equipped with a high-intensity I-field, and the cannons of different shapes also provided it with considerable means of long-range attack. In the transparent cockpit at the top of the flower was Char, wearing a full metal mask, which was also connected with countless transmission lines. Correct ¡°Rafflesia£¿¡± Ade couldn''t believe his eyes. He pulled Char into the mind space chat room, "Char?" Correct "Sure enough, I can find you by following Nunnally. Lingus, it''s worth my ambush on this line for so long." Char had long been used to being dragged into and kicked out of the mind space chat room at will. He was full of self-confidence and had not been affected. "Are you still driving that old MS ten years ago? It has no chance of winning. Don''t struggle any more." Correct "Although I''m not surprised that you will do such a thing, can I ask why?" Ade asked curiously, without feeling nervous at all, "Was it because I robbed your daughter?" Correct "Do you still have to pretend to be stupid? It''s too ugly, Lingus." Char smiled contemptuously. "I already know the real use of the Wheel of Angels." Correct "Oh, you know?" Ade replied calmly, "Then, do you know I didn''t make the ''real'' Wheel of Angels?" Correct Char was speechless and the atmosphere solidified. Correct It''s too easy for an NT to cheat another NT, because NTs deeply believe that they won''t be cheated anyway. Ade secretly made up his mind to review this sentence as a motto from today on every day. Correct "Even if you''re not going to betray humans this time, it doesn''t mean that you will always think so. And as long as you take the wrong step, you will drag all mankind down to the bottomless abyss." Char was worthy of being Char and he soon found the right reason again, "You are too dangerous. I must kill you." Correct "I thought about what you said before." Ade patiently explained, "I''ve been looking for someone to balance myself." Correct "It doesn''t make sense." Char said in a deep voice, "Except that I can get away from the black hole named Lingus, everyone else will only sink deeper and deeper without knowing it. Nunnally''s gradual madness over the years is the best proof. As long as Mineva doesn''t leave you, she will become another Nunnally sooner or later." Correct Ade was unusually silent. Correct "Linggs, I have no personal resentment against you, and even appreciate you. But this is something only I can do, and it is also a decision I must make for mankind." Char sighed, "Since I have known that you will become an enemy one day, I must kill you when I still can kill you." Correct "To tell you the truth, you almost convinced me." Ade exhaled heavily. "I put myself in your shoes and thought that if I were in your position, I would probably make a similar choice." Correct "In that case -" Correct "I also want to retire early and go home with my wives! Who is willing to endure all kinds of grievances and eyes of dissatisfaction and work overtime until morning?" Ade snapped at him, "But I''ve promised Lilith. What can I do except to keep going?" Correct "Stop making excuses. This is the end of the pointless argument." The muzzle on Rafflesia pointed at the Unicorn Gundam one after another. "Let me see how much combat instinct you have left after sitting in the research room for so many years." Correct Ade gently stroked the interior of the Unicorn Gundam and his eyes were full of nostalgia. As he thought, the sharp corner on the top of the MS was divided into two, and the blood red light was transmitted from the psycho frame exposed under the armor. Correct "Your MS¡­ is Rafflesia? If I''m right, it''s probably similar to Unicorn''s destruction mode. It''s controlled by pure telepathy." The Unicorn Gundam stopped quietly, and three floating shields circled in front of it, "And your NT ability is insufficient, so you need to ensure the signal strength through that metal mask." Correct "It is because humans recognize their own shortcomings that they learn to create tools, and then evolve into what they are today step by step." Char was disappointed and said, "Lingus, the excessively strong NT ability has interfered with your judgment and made you blind and arrogant." Correct "Well, you''re thinking too much. I''m not going to say that. I just want to remind you that Rafflesia itself and funnels work on the same principle." Ade finally couldn''t help laughing. "Do you remember what NT-D is used for?" Correct Without hesitation for a microsecond, Char manipulated the MS to turn and run. Correct Rafflesia was worthy of being the latest MS of the year. Despite its huge size, it still ran fast and far faster than Unicorn. Considering that Mineva was still on the ship and Char might choose to kidnap her, Ade didn''t dare to pursue after him at full speed. Correct However, even so, the control of tentacles had been ruthlessly seized by NT-D one by one. The dense tentacles roll up and point to the cockpit at the top of the fuselage. The beam gun at the tip of the tentacles was ready to shoot. Just as Char was about to leave Ade''s sensing range, 125 beam guns on the tentacles fired at the same time, and a flame burst out in the dark universe.

Correct The schoolwork of senior three was too much. Since returning to the moon, Mineva had never found a chance to make out with Ade again. But the smart girl was not worried at all except occasionally complaining to Ple, because she knew that the other party was worrying more than her, and enjoying his embarrassment could be regarded as compensation for his neglect and alienation of her for so many years, right? Correct In contrast, Ade felt a lot of headaches. Although everyone in the family could see what happened, it didn''t mean he could fool it without a word. These days, he had been hiding in the laboratory in the name of overtime in an attempt to come up with a way to escape from the coming "public trial meeting". Correct Unlock this chapter. Just as he racked his brains to find excuses, a piece of sudden news completely disrupted his plan. Correct "Ade, it''s bad." Ayanami Rei found him breathlessly. After working together for so many years, Ade had never seen her look so flustered, "The Doctor, he was hospitalized this morning." Correct Ade decisively dropped everything at hand and hurried to the hospital with Ayanami Rei without even changing his white clothes. When they arrived, Aeolia was still receiving treatment. The dean outside the emergency room quickly introduced the situation to them. Correct "Dr. Lingus, you''re here." The Dean was so oppressed by Ade''s non-human spirit that he didn''t dare to breathe. The sweat on his forehead kept seeping out, "This, this, you, listen to me¡­" Correct "Ade, be careful." Ayanami Rei pulled Ade''s white clothes and whispered in his ear. Correct Aware of the impolite, Ade carefully withdrew his spirit field. The Dean had the spare strength to say, "The patient is old and his physical function is declining seriously. In addition, he engaged in high-intensity mental work all night last night, which led to his sudden fainting this morning." Correct "All night?" Ade looked at Rei and said, "Didn''t you tell him to step back from the front line? He''s been 100 years old and is still tossing all night? Does he really thinks he''s an Angel?" Correct Ayanami Rei was silent. Correct The Dean carefully peeped at the reactions of the two in front of him. After a while, he continued, "After the patient was sent to the hospital in time this morning, we immediately called experts, professors, and scholars from various fields for an expert consultation, and specially invited Mr. Bidan to assist in the treatment. Now the patient has regained consciousness and is out of danger." Correct Hearing the familiar name, Ade couldn''t help saying, "Kamille Bidan? How''s he doing?" Correct "Dr. Bidan is excellent." The Dean immediately replied without thinking, "Both professional level and working attitude are outstanding, and his excellent NT ability has made great contributions many times.." Correct Ade listened with pride and nodded frequently. Ayanami saw his funny appearance and chuckled. The scene immediately became very embarrassing. Correct "Rei," Ade''s voice sounded directly in her mind, "Can you continue to pretend to be a kuudere girl from tomorrow?" Correct "Forcibly distort the personality of the female assistant in order to meet your hidden interests?" Ayanami Rei rolled her eyes at him with a smile. "This is workplace sexual harassment. Please allow me to refuse." Correct Next, Ade listened carefully to the treatment plan introduced by the Dean and made "hmm" sounds from time to time The sound made the Dean very nervous. Correct When the Dean finished speaking, Aeolia''s treatment just ended not long ago, and they immediately went to the nursing room. On the way, he happened to meet Kamille who returned to his department. Ade patted him on the shoulder, "Well done." Correct Kamille was stunned for a long time, dropped a "Thank you, Doctor" in a voice so thin that Ade could hardly hear, and then ran away in a panic. Looking at Kamille''s back, Ayanami Rei looked at Ade and laughed again. Correct The two came to the nursing room. As soon as they entered, Ade saw Loran sitting by the hospital bed, smiling and chatting softly with the old man on the bed. Loran''s eyes lit up when he noticed Ade''s appearance. Correct "Aeolia," Ade went straight to the hospital bed, "Can you just ¡ª" Correct "Ade, come on." Loran hurriedly got up to meet him and smiled softly at Ade, "I know you''re actually worried about the Doctor. Shall we listen to his reasons first?" Correct Seeing Loran''s posture, Ade immediately lost his anger and sat down side by side with Loran, "Dr. Aeolia, you''re so old, just leave the work to me. Otherwise, how sad would Diana and Ikari be if they know you are sick?" Correct "So you know it?" Aeolia sneered, "Also, didn''t you call her ''Rei'' very affectionately? How can she become ''Ikari'' when you talk to me?" Correct Ade glanced at Loran''s face and secretly decided not to quarrel with Aeolia no matter what he said. Aeolia felt boring and looked at him in silence. Correct "It''s not the first day," Ade took the initiative to break the silence. "You promised me to retire. In fact, you have been secretly continuing to study something. Loran and Rei both know it, right?" Correct Ayanami Rei, standing behind Ade, suddenly turned into a kuudere girl again. She was expressionless all the way, as if she couldn''t understand a word. With a guilty conscience, Loran avoided Ade''s eyes and reached out to hold Ade''s little thumb and shook it back and forth under the cover of his clothes. Correct "Come on, Lingus, it''s none of their business. I insisted it." Aeolia''s voice became a little depressed. "I want to correct the mistakes of the past." Correct "That''s hard to do. You''ve made a lot of mistakes." Ade ignored Loran''s dissatisfied eyes. "Which one do you want to correct?" Correct "Innovator." Aeolia shook his head. "Innovator''s unstable spirit is my design mistake. I have to bear the main responsibility for Ribbon''s character change. The rest of my life is running out. In order not to let other Innovators repeat the same mistake one day, I must correct this mistake while I still have the energy to think." Correct Other Innovators. Ade was not surprised to hear the word. Although he had been resentful about GN-Drive, what Aeolia had done now¡­ Correct For some reason, Ade was in a complicated mood. He was silent for a long time before he asked, "How''s it going?" Correct "Fortunately, my brain hasn''t degenerated yet. The theoretical part was successfully completed this morning, and Ikari will take over the later experimental part." Aeolia uttered a deep sigh, and his old face was full of fatigue. "Lingus, I have done everything I can." Correct Although Loran is not a newtype and can''t penetrate people''s hearts, he keenly detected Ade''s emotional fluctuations from his slightly stiff knuckles. Instead of trying to comfort him with words, he just held his hand silently. Correct "Lingus, I''ve been thinking about your problem for a long time. I tried to design a method to check and balance you, but I found that any power division will eventually become a tool of internal friction. I got the desperate conclusion that it''s better to rely on your conscience than on a perfect system." Aeolia looked suddenly at Rin. "Ikari is my last hope. Promise me not to have emotional disputes with her." Correct "I never thought of having emotional disputes with her. I trained her as my error correction module at the beginning. Of course, I know you don''t believe it." With Loran''s encouragement, Ade cheered up and nodded sincerely to Aeolia, "I promise you, I will never have emotional disputes with Rei." Correct "Ikari, you heard that, too." Aeolia took a deep look at Ayanami Rei and solemnly looked at Ade, "Lingus, the future of mankind is up to you." Correct "You''d better take good care of yourself. Don''t think too much." Ade pretended to smile easily, "The future of mankind is up to me." Correct In this way, time passes slowly, and autumn begins to show its golden tail. Correct Korozo Ronah was executed as mufti. Ade didn''t kill his wife and daughter, but let them go. The Federal Council ushered in a major change of members, Prime Minister Marcenas resigned, and a puppet supported by the military came on stage. Correct In response to the political upheaval, a number of media said that Wang Liu Mei was afraid to be the biggest winner, but it was a pity that Miss Wang was receiving proper remuneration and didn''t have the leisure to accept an interview. Correct Hathaway, who returned to school, received a clear reply from his secret love, Mineva. The expected result didn''t make him too sad. After a long talk with his father, he decided to study geology and prepare to explore the universe with Judau in the future. Correct Then, Shinji''s wedding was held as scheduled. He was surprised to find that many of his friends in the chat group were actually big shots. Ade even sent gifts in his own name. Correct Shortly after the wedding, Ayanami Rei gave up the long vacation given to her by Ade and hurried back to the moon. She was absorbed in the Perfect Innovator Theory entrusted to her. She still has lingering fears about Lacus''s madness. As the proponent of the theory, Aeolia''s body recovered very well. Kamille, who had just been rated as the attending physician, revealed to Ade that the old man could live for at least five more years. Correct In order to celebrate Kamille''s promotion, several old friends who had worked together in Celestial Being got together and held a celebration party. Correct During the party, Uraki made a small report to Ade, saying that he saw Ayanami Rei at Shinji''s wedding. After Ade successfully fooled him, he threatened Rei to play the role of the kuudere girl for a month. Rei bargained and changed the time to a week. Correct Mayu, Shinn''s beloved sister, had not started looking for a boyfriend in her twenties. Uraki was very puzzled, but Kira said he supported Shinn. It''s better to let it go. Correct Kira, who had taken advantage of his vacation to travel with his whole family to the Earth, also brought gifts to everyone and told everyone that he happened to meet Amuro, who was on shift leave and came out on vacation with Beltorchika. Correct Until the end of the celebration, no one asked Ade why Minerva had to break up the relationship with him before. "Don''t worry about the Lingus family" is the consensus of all people, including Kamille. Correct And Mineva, who nearly turned the world upside down a few months ago, finally found her own position at home, and got good grades in the top ten of the whole grade in the mid-term exam. This time, she wouldn''t give up to ask for a reward, but she hadn''t figured out what to ask Ade for. Correct Faced with such a serious attribute conflict with Mineva, Miss Friday rarely ignited her antagonism and even absurdly involved Momoka in. Fortunately, Miss Maid was not dissatisfied, but very happy. Correct C. C. lived a slow-paced life in an orderly manner, and the changes around her had no impact on her. Lacus''s novel was still serializing, but the plot developed unusually fast after Ange''s debut. Correct Everyone was continuing their lives. In this way, Ade quietly started the final plan without notifying anyone. Correct ¡­¡­ Correct The boson force field around V2 Gundam dissipated and Earth came into his view. Correct "Ade, get ready and get on track in 15 minutes." Alice asked with a trace of doubt, "Why don''t we tell them?" Correct "That''s good now." Ade gently rubbed his temples, "Otherwise, if everyone gave me a deep farewell, wouldn''t it be a death flag?" Correct "Well¡­" Alice hesitated timidly for a moment. "Is it really good for me to be here?" Correct "Nothing could be better than this. I will be afraid if I''m alone." Ade leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "If someone asks me who I want to live with most, I will pretend to be stupid and refuse to answer, because I don''t know the answer. But if someone asks me who I want to die with most, it''s you, Alice." Correct There was a moment of silence in the cockpit. More than ten seconds later, Alice''s flustered voice rang out, "There are still 14 minutes to enter the scheduled track. Ade, concentrate!" Correct "Well, I see." Ade''s right hand clenched and opened, "It''s not easy to solve the insoluble deadlock. I don''t have the plan to see Old Yang so early." Correct When he learned the truth of the world, he immediately judged that it was an insoluble deadlock. The whole universe was like an online game novel. The creator had arranged countless enemies layer by layer. Even if they escape from the galaxy, human beings are still facing the risk of extinction at any time. On the other hand, Ade confirmed the safety of another Universe from Embryo. Correct In that case, there is only one answer. First, remove the remaining human beings on another Earth, then completely destroy that Earth, and finally move the Earth-Moon system in this universe to that universe. This is the truth of the V Plan described by Ade to Aeolia. Correct To achieve this goal, three conditions need to be met. First, the time to seamlessly connect the Earth''s orbits on both sides, which had been calculated by Ade and Ayanami Rei, which was today. The second is the boson jumping device that can cover the whole Earth-Moon system, for which the Wheel of Angels was built. At this moment, Ayanami Rei and Chang Wufei were waiting on it. Third, a tool that can completely decompose the Earth, that is, the V2 Gundam driven by Ade and Alice now. Correct Ade didn''t equip this V2 Gundam with any unnecessary arms. The only purpose of its design is to cut the Earth from a suitable angle with the light wing behind it. Even the power furnace of TurnA was removed by him as the core energy of the V2 Gundam. But even so, the output of the light wing is still insufficient, and the only thing Ade can do is to use the psycho-frame, making up for the lack of output by using his NT ability. Correct It''s not that he wants to be a hero, but he is the one with the strongest NT ability among the existing humans. Correct "There are seven minutes left to enter the scheduled orbit." Alice''s voice sounded again, "Ade, your heart rate is so high. Do you want some music to relax?" Correct "Forget it, it makes me more nervous." Ade repeatedly took deep breaths, trying to calm his trembling hands. "Alice, I suddenly miss them a little. What should I do?" Correct "Well, actually, Loran secretly left you a message in the system, but he told me not to tell you." Alice gave an unexpected answer, "Ade, do you want to listen?" Correct He nodded silently. Correct "Ade, although I told Alice not to reveal the existence of this recording to you, if it''s really lucky to be heard by you, it means that Alice judges that you''re too nervous. She doesn''t know how to comfort others, so she may choose to let me do it." Correct Ade raised the corners of his mouth knowingly. Correct "I won''t tell you how much I believe you, so you regard it as a flag. I won''t say some strange confessions, or wouldn''t it be embarrassing if you were thinking of me in the end?" Correct V2 Gundam sped up. Correct "I''ll just wait for you quietly on the moon. Well, that''s all." Correct The dazzling particles dyed the fuselage of the V2 Gundam into a gentle blood red. Correct "The moon is a very good place. Come back quickly." Correct Thirteen thousand kilometers of light wings flew towards the blue star without looking back.
