Many people don't understand why Jing Jiu chose to cooperate with the military, why he left with Huaxi instead of Ran Handong.

He didn't answer General Lee's words, because answering is explaining, and explaining is lying, and he is too lazy to lie.

Well, the main reason is that he is actually very good at lying, but talking too much in front of people like General Li will always go wrong.

His response proved to be correct, and General Li thought of something else: "The Hua family is different from other families, they are very low-key, they don't have much council, only a few people know about it, and they are very close to the priestess. ”

Jing Jiu hummed insincerely.

General Li put the book back on the bookshelf and asked, "I heard that you are very interested in that sunflower?"

It was impossible to hide what happened at the Stargate base, even if it was a private conversation between Jing Jiu and the Stargate priests.

Jing Jiu hummed again.

"That painting is not in the art museum, nor in the north, but now it is in the flower house. ”

General Li said: "You brought the doll of the Hua family, do you just want to see that painting?"

Obviously, he didn't believe that Jing Jiu's reason for taking Huaxi was so simple and ridiculous.

He thinks that Jing Jiu still hasn't been able to fully trust himself and wants to keep in touch with the priestess.

Jing Jiu still didn't answer, and said a completely different topic: "Dark matter is not any particles, known or unknown. ”

The book that Li Jiang just read was "Seven Ways to Dissolve Low-Speed Neutrinos." 》

He sighed and said, "There is a pessimistic inference in the scientific community that dark matter or dark energy exists in a way that is beyond the scope of human imagination. ”

Jing Jiu said, "So human beings need to evolve. ”

General Li looked at him and said, "We are all evolved humans. ”

Jing Jiu said: "Not enough. ”

General Li said: "I hope that after you have been to that planet, you can still have the optimism you have now." ”

Jing Jiu asked, "Must go?"

General Lee said, "If you need this civilization to help you do something, then you should also help this civilization do something." ”

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "I'll go to the Hua family first." ”

General Lee said, "The fleet will be waiting for you." ”

......

......

General Li sent a car to the priest's manor to take Jing Jiu to the military headquarters building, which was a proclamation.

In this way, he wanted to let the entire Galaxy Alliance know that this matter had been resolved.

In the future, the Galaxy Alliance will still operate according to the previous rules - the priest does the priest's business, the government does the government's business, and don't think about other things.

Once the proclamation has been made, there is no need to do more.

Jing Jiu left the office with Huaxi, took the elevator directly down to the lobby of the military headquarters building, and then walked outside.

During the whole process, countless eyes fell on him.

There was wariness, hostility, and awe in those sights.

A few days ago, Shen Yun was buried here and was almost destroyed by him.

Walking out of the military headquarters building, the battle armor in the sky like a flock of birds had scattered in all directions, the battleships that brought a great sense of oppression and the edge of the atmosphere had also moved away, and there were pedestrians on the streets.

Huaxi carried a black backpack, quickened her pace to follow Jing Jiu, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Jing Jiu said: "Hua family." ”

Huaxi opened her eyes wide and said, "I haven't been there before, how can I take you there?"

The relationship between distant relatives is really extremely distant in the interstellar era, even hundreds of light years apart, she grew up in the stargate base, and it is normal for her to have no contact with the main Xinghua family.

Jing Jiu said, "You're not curious?"

Huaxi said innocently: "Aren't they all people with two eyes and one nose?"

......

......

Surrounded by mountains, there is a lake, much like the one in the north.

On the other side of the lake, there is no city from the old days, no girl in a yukata, only a castle. The castle is made of stones, not a remnant of an ancient civilization, but some kind of imitation, I don't know if it is because few people visit, or because of the green vines that climb all over the walls, revealing an eerie feeling.

Jing Jiu and Huaxi came to the front of the castle, the gate naturally opened, and an old butler in a black dress saluted, "Welcome." ”

The old butler in a black dress has gray hair, and he has an elegant temperament in his gestures, and his movements are very standard.

Hua Xi grabbed the shoulder straps of the backpack with both hands and looked at each other curiously.

The old butler smiled and said, "I am indeed a cyborg. ”

Huaxi stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry." ”

The old butler raised his right hand and said with a smile: "For some reason, it is inconvenient for the host to come forward, so please take care of the two distinguished guests." ”

The Hua family is one of the most profound families, and naturally knows Jing Jiu's identity.

Jing Jiu chose the military and no longer waited for news from the sacrifice hall, since the Hua family was close to him, it was naturally inconvenient to see him. But it was obvious that the Hua family did not want to offend the military and him, so they did not refuse his visit.

The castle is an imitation, but the artwork inside is real, and it is not a modern painting, most of it is ...... Oil paintings from ancient civilizations.

It didn't take long for Jing Jiu to find the painting.

The more than ten sunflowers in this painting are very full, leaving no gaps, giving people the feeling that even if there is a light on the opposite side, the light cannot pass through.

What's even more special is that these sunflowers are obviously dehydrated, and the branches and leaves are somewhat soft.

Jing Jiu had seen a replica of this painting in an art museum in Shouji City.

That imitation has a very high status in the art history of the Galactic Alliance, and this painting is the real thing.

When he saw the imitation at that time, Jing Jiu felt that these sunflowers should be bound by something, otherwise they should fall in all directions.

After seeing the true painting of this sunflower today, he finally found the answer.

The sunflowers were bound by a cloth ribbon with lace embroidered on the edges and stained with blood.

Sunflowers in full bloom, weak branches, bloody lace cloth bands...... The feeling of this painting is very feminine, but it is bloody, and there is a peculiar beauty in one place.

......

......

The space elevator seems to rise slowly, but it actually rises rapidly.

The earth is gradually thrown away, and the horizon in the distance takes on a clear arc.

The atmosphere was breached, leaving behind a foggy horizon.

Jing Jiu and Hua Xi stepped out of the elevator door, entered the space station, and passed through a straight passage before entering the interior of the battleship.

With a soft tick, the identities of the two were confirmed, and hundreds of officers stood up from their seats, cast attentive glances, and then saluted.

Jing Jiu noticed that the faces of several officers were more familiar, and only then did he realize that this battleship was actually the "Burning Sun".

The captain of the Burning Sun walked up to him and said with mixed emotions: "The investigation has been over for a while, and it was reassembled the day before yesterday, and no one was left behind. ”

The captain's face was a little pale, much thinner than before, obviously suffering a lot in the investigation.

"Your name. Jing Jiu asked.

The captain snapped upright, saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Zhixing, captain of the second-class battleship Lieyang, please ask the advisor for instructions." ”

The battleship Lieyang belongs to the Star Patrol Fleet, and Jiang Zhixing is from a military academy and has no factional background.

The news of the military headquarters building had already spread, and he and the officers and soldiers of the Lieyang knew that if it weren't for Jing Jiu, maybe they would have stayed in a military prison for the rest of their lives, and they might even die quietly.

They were very grateful to Jing Jiu and were in awe.

Those who can defeat Shen Yunbury are entitled to the respect of the entire universe.

Jing Jiu asked, "Advisor?"

Jiang Zhixing realized that he still didn't know about this matter, and said: "You are now the chief adviser of the military department, and you have the highest authority. ”

Whether it is the battleship Lieyang or the authority of the military department, it is General Li's sincerity to him.

These are also responsibilities or cause and effect.

It's like the word Aoyama.

Jing Jiu was silent for a while and asked, "What about Shen Yunburi?"

Jiang Zhixing said: "He was demoted, and now he is the commander-in-chief of the Star Nuclear Fleet. ”

He noticed the little girl behind Jing Jiu and quickly waved his hand.

Huaxi was carrying a black backpack, which looked a little hard.

A secretary stepped forward and tried to take it for her, but she refused.

......

......

The Burning Sun battleship left the space station and joined several warships in the distance, forming a simple formation and heading towards the dark depths of the universe.

The fleet's goal is the Gary Star Domain, and its only mission is to escort the chief advisor of the military department, Jing Jiu, to observe the Sea of Dark Objects.

Jing Jiu stood in front of the window, looking at the stars in the dark universe, silent.

During the journey from the Stargate Base to the Main Star, he often stood in front of the window and watched the universe.

The battleship was still the Sun, the room, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the universe outside the window seemed to be the same, all black curtains adorned with countless stars. But after all, something changed, these stars were something he hadn't seen before, and what was the Sea of Darkness like?

There are a few other changes.

Huaxi walked up to him, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and asked, "Since you want to take refuge in General Li, why did you fight against him in the first place? You want to prove your ability? Why does General Li dare to use you? Sometimes I really can't understand you people...... What do adults think, they were enemies a moment ago, but now they suddenly become companions, what is the difference between this and pretending to be a family wine?"

Jing Jiu ignored her.

Huaxi glanced at him and continued, "Even if you have other ideas, there's no need to go over there. ”

Jing Jiu said, "I want to see it." ”

At the beginning, Lian March told him that when he came to the world, he always had to see the sun.

He told Zhao Layue that the purpose of cultivation is to live forever, but the purpose of eternal life is not to enjoy it, and being able to see more scenery is one of the meanings.

After coming to this world, he often looked at the stars, saw the battleships, and surfed the Internet, precisely because these were new landscapes for him.

The Sea of Darkness is also a landscape.

Those very different planets are also landscapes.

For example, the planet ahead is very small, and the surface is full of craters.

He looked at a crater and asked, "Can you kill someone?"

Huaxi's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Jing Jiu said, "I mean, can you kill people yourself?"

Hua Xi said with a look of ignorance: "That's illegal." ”

Jing Jiu said, "Duplicants also break the law. ”

Huaxi opened her eyes wide, very innocent.
