“…… Vice Captain Li: Report what the captain has done?"

The temple is small and the wind is big, and the pool is shallow and the king is eight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I don't know why, after hearing Director Yun's words, the first thing that came to Bai Shenying's heart was this sentence that the captain often put on his lips. There are so many doorways and conspiracies in such a small space station, and there are political schools of conspiracy. But at the same time, thinking about the terrible aura exuded by the captain in the past two days and the strange atmosphere in the office, she felt that all this seemed particularly reasonable: she and the captain had only worked together for half a year, and he was said to have been in charge of the project for almost five years. Perhaps, the huge mental pressure has driven him crazy......

"Of course. Otherwise, why did we bring you here?" On the other side, Vice Captain Li made himself a cup of tea - Bai Shenying noticed that it should be the tea brought from the earth, not the Biluochun grown on Mars by the Agricultural Department itself, "Comrade Bai Shenying, you should have noticed that now Comrade Captain is no longer suitable to be the person in charge of the Mars part of Project 0001, he has begun to do whatever it takes to ensure his absolute position on Mars, and Director Yun's injury is the best evidence." Out of a responsible attitude towards the project, I had to take the opportunity of this review team to reflect the current situation to the organization. ”

"But...... What I found is not going to be submitted as absolute evidence...... That's a bit too vague. ”

"We know. That's why I hope you'll be able to search further for evidence of the captain's abnormality. Isn't your identity able to do this well?" Nodding vigorously, Director Yun patted Bai Shenying on the shoulder. He also wore his usual labor protection gloves on that hand, "I...... I've actually known the captain for a while, Comrade Bai Shenying. Neither Captain Li nor I thought about actually throwing him in prison. But the captain needs to rest now, you know it better than we do, right?"

…… Rest, to be honest, the captain who talks nonsense all day long...... Since you have the strength to say those complaining nonsense, it means that you still have a lot of energy, right?

"However, what the captain did, no matter how you say it, can be regarded as intentional injury......" Looking at Director Yun's lost hand with palpitations, Bai Shenying showed a wavering look, "This will definitely make him go to court-martial, right?"

"You are mistaken, Comrade Bai Shenying. The captain was a pure researcher, and he had no military status, so a special military tribunal would not be opened for him. However, if a criminal case is filed, things will be quite troublesome, and it will even interfere with the normal progress of Project 0001. Shaking his head, Vice Captain Li replied, "At this critical moment, the progress of the project must not be disturbed. It is also for the purpose of stabilizing the progress of the project that Director Yun and I will make this decision and choose the path of reporting. At least on this point, I hope you can trust us. ”

“…… Speaking of which, don't the deputy captain and the division chief know the name of the captain?"

At the mention of this question, both of them furrowed their eyebrows. In the end, it was Director Yun who gave an embarrassed expression to answer: "...... I don't know. Everything about the captain is classified, and the rank is even as high as Project 0001 itself. I don't know where he came from......"

"When I was looking for information, I found some absurd keywords. As he spoke, Vice Captain Li moved his individual combat unit, but stopped halfway, "...... Forget it, it's ridiculous, I don't think I need to tell you. Moreover, the level of confidentiality of these materials is also very high, and it is not easy to circulate them. ”

"Vice-Captain, can you ...... Let me see the information?"

Bai Shenying was taken aback by her curiosity, but the words had already blurted out, and there was obviously no way to take them back. After staring at her for a few seconds, Vice Captain Li still shook his head: "No." Hurry back, Comrade Bai Shenying. If you've been in my office for too long, you're going to be suspicious. I will find a way to tell you the specific actions in the future. Right now...... We're grasshoppers on a rope. ”

"Hmm...... Well. ”

Without holding the hand stretched out by the deputy captain, Bai Shenying stood up cautiously, gave a military salute, and then walked out of the office with the other party's embarrassed smile. Truth be told, there's been a lot going on lately, and she thinks she might need to digest it......

Ahh Worrying about these things all the time may make wrinkles grow quickly...... Why did such a troublesome thing find me?

"Bad luck and bad fate...... The decision to join the army was not necessarily a mistake...... "Slowly closing the office door, looking at the name tag hanging on the door, Bai Shenying sighed, feeling that all the previous fears seemed to have dissipated, leaving only a deep boredom with the current situation.

――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――――

It should be a good thing that I didn't replace my temporary maintainer at the Lagrange Point station, but ...... Anyway, the space journey is still a little longer than I thought.

Boredom fiddling with the entertainment software sent to his personal terminal, inadvertently, Kazami Yuka sighed secretly. For some reason, she always had the feeling that she was back to the century-long days when she could only watch over that lonely field of flowers: the cargo was in the cargo hold, and given the surveillance inside the ship, she certainly couldn't have been guarding Ackerman all the time. Even, when the spacecraft docked to the Lagrange space station, they almost encountered a crisis. At the time, one of the staff members insisted that the box containing Ackerman should have been unloaded from the space station......

It seems that something went wrong with the modification of the record. In short, as a small cargo hold maintainer, in terms of identity, "Li Fengmei" does not have any right to stop the behavior of that staff member. When she almost wanted to start killing the Quartet, a surprising man helped them:

"That...... This cargo is supposed to be transported to Mars. That's part of my responsibility......"

Until now, Kazami Yuka couldn't understand why the woman who seemed to be part of the team would help her in such a place. Maybe it's because the person really confused that box with the other boxes?

Seriously, it's not impossible. Their self-proclaimed scientists are basically all confused...... Thinking of the people in his impression who could be called "scientists", Kazami Yuka couldn't help frowning slightly. Five years ago, Sakura Okazaki, who had played them to the fullest, and then was "defeated" and disappeared at the last minute, came to her mind. Since then, Ackerman has been tracking the other party's movements, but he has not been able to find ......

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hurriedly got up from the corner where he had been nesting, Kazami Yuka patted the non-existent soil on his body, opened the door without hesitation, and then used his perennial combat experience to instantly flash the electric shocker that stabbed at the neck on the other side, and by the way, he hit the opponent's neck with a knife - the feel was very bad, and it seemed that he was wearing something hard. After directly controlling the other party's wrist, she closed the door and carefully examined the face: "...... Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

"Cut, I knew I couldn't beat you...... It's up to you to kill or kill, but I sold you at least a favor yesterday. When Kazami Yuka still didn't grasp the situation, the other side had already put on a martyr's expression, "I hope you can give me a little pleasure." ”

“…… What?" Still grabbing the other party's wrist, Kazami Yuka tentatively emphasized the identity she was playing, "I'm sorry, because you attacked me suddenly, and I fought back." I've learned a few things about it before......"

"Don't pretend, Kazami Yuka! I'll recognize you as soon as you get on the ship!Are you laughing at me!?"

"Are you ......?"

The other party seems to have revealed enough information, but Kazami Yuka still hasn't been able to judge her identity. The free hand scratched her head—and by the way, straightened up the uncomfortable wig—and she continued to apologize with some regret: "I'm sorry, I'm still ...... Huh? You ......."

Finally remembered. Although the color of the eyes has changed, the hairstyle is completely different, and it may even have undergone plastic surgery, the emotions that flow out of the eyes are ......

“…… Sakura Okazaki?"

"You didn't come for me!?You didn't recognize me!?" said the sentence that meant that his identity was completely exposed, and this guy who was estimated to make it difficult for Kazami Yuuka to forget, Okazaki Sakura's legs seemed to be starting to weaken, "I...... I ......"

"Ah, I remember. In the list, there is indeed a ...... named 'Yin Ying' "After knowing the identity of the other party, the mask that Kazami Yuuka usually wears can finally be completely torn off." Sneering, she added a little strength to her hand, "So you're hiding here in Chinese......"

"It hurts, it hurts...... Don't push so hard!"

"Kill or chop, whatever I want?"

"You're ......!" Okazaki Sakura's anger didn't explode in the end. After a moment of silence, she finally changed to a pleading tone this time, "You...... I know I'm wrong, can you stop bothering me? I'm finally settling down and just finishing the project...... Didn't I help you yesterday too?"

This kind of weak answer that made Kazami Yuka unexpected made her stunned for a moment. In her impression, Sakura Okazaki should be a woman who worships her grandmother and desperately pretends to be very cold, and will never say such words that seem to be begging for mercy - even if her heart is actually very weak and sensitive. Have you finally been completely worn off by life?

Thinking so, Kazami Yuka let go of her hand and pushed the already tearful party directly onto the bed. Judging from the fact that she adjusted her mood in an instant, Sakura Okazaki was obviously a little more mature than when they last met five years ago. Straightening her hair, she looked at Kazami Yuka vigilantly, and spoke in English: "So...... You, no, what are you doing here?"

"I ...... Guys?"

"Don't think you can hide it from me......! How could a who wagged her tail at a man leave that guy's side...... The one hidden in the box must be the cyborg, right?" Pointing at Kazami Yuka's fingertips, trembling slightly, Okazaki Sakura said her conclusion in a loud voice, "You two must be nothing good if you two sneak into the spaceship......"

"And what about you? How did you get here?"

"I ......" The momentum softened suddenly, and Sakura Okazaki took her hand back, "...... I came to the research institute in China under the guise of political asylum. Their project was urgent, so they needed someone with similar engineering experience to help organize. I was also doing ...... in the U.S. at the time."

"Antigravity system built on a scalar field dark energy model with a background vector field?"

"Ahhhh......!!!!h After calming down, she took a few deep breaths and put on a serious face, "...... Anyway, I don't care what you want to do, steal technology, spy on strategic intelligence, whatever, I'm far away from this kind of thing now, I don't care. But I beg you not to ruin my life now...... As long as the project is completed, I can be a small researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I don't want to lose this new starting point...... I have to at least leave this world with the same legend as my grandmother......"

“…… Are you really the Okazaki Sakura I know?"

"I know I've changed a lot! But isn't the reality bad at all? Isn't it good to be honest? My former self was so stupid, and I still want to take revenge on society and get rid of the president of the United States...... In short, as long as you let me go, I won't report you, okay? Life in space is about supporting each other. After saying these words, I don't know what I muttered in a low voice, looking at Kazami Yuka's face, Okazaki Sakura smacked her mouth, "If you are silent, you will be acquiesced?"

"Of course not. With contempt in her eyes, Kazami raised her head, "You're going to help us." ”

“…… Why don't I report you......"

"If we were discovered, you would be the first to die. He and I have the ability to do that. Don't believe me?"

There's no room for you not to believe it. After all, you're our loser. Just as Kazami Yuka thought, Sakura Okazaki clearly hesitated. After a while, she nodded heavily: "...... I'll help you disguise your identity. But if you want to steal, destroy, or whatever, don't have anything to do with me! I don't want to deal with you guys for the rest of my life...... Can I go?"

Can you let her go?, I asked myself in my heart, and Kazami Yuka looked at the current Okazaki Sakura again. The sharpness is still there, but the childishness that was evident a few years ago has completely disappeared. Based on her words, it must have been something she went through after being granted political asylum...... But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

It would not seem too boring to have such a changeable acquaintance on the journey, although it had not been a harmonious relationship at all. Thinking of this, the corners of Kazami's mouth softened a little: "...... You're a scientist, I'm just a cargo hold maintainer. Of course you have the freedom to go. ”

“…… What do you want to do? I always feel like you're not in a good mood. Alerted again, Sakura Okazaki frowned, and then walked quickly to the door, "By the way, even if it's for myself, I'll remind you:"

"It seems that there are Chinese professional agents in this group of people this time. I've been stared at like that many times during this time, and I can feel it, but I don't know who it is. Be careful with yourselves, and make sure you don't get me in too much trouble, you know?......"
