The researchers led by Martin Lao on the experimental star have been focusing on scientific research and basically have no time to pay attention to the news, so when Yang Qinglan avoided everyone and went to the experimental star alone, they didn't know that Ron was about to become a volunteer. (Yes)? (Meaning)? (Think)? (book)? (Hospital)

Yang Qinglan found Old Martin in the underground laboratory.

This laboratory is very close to the Aturister embryo in the center of the earth, and is specially used for puppet experiments, which can obtain genetic samples of Aturisd nearby, and if there is any abnormality that does not affect the ground, it can be solved underground.

Seeing Ron coming, old Martin was stunned for a moment.

"It's so busy outside, how can you have time to come over? Yes...... You're resting too? ”

Yang Qinglan shook her head: "Don't you always complain to me that the genetic level of volunteers is not enough, I sent volunteers to you." ”

Old Martin's eyes lit up, and he stretched his neck to look behind her: "Where is it?" Could it be that you have finally figured out that you want to give me a son? ”

Yang Qinglan raised her hand and pointed at herself.

Old Martin was stunned: "Huh? ”

Yang Qinglan pointed again, and at the same time nodded to show that he was not mistaken.

"Clam ——??!!"

Suddenly, a strange scream drew the attention of everyone else in the lab, and they probed their brains to see what was going on.

Yang Qinglan's eyes floated over, and the person who was seen was full of excitement, and quickly lowered his head to do something.

Martin Sr. grabbed Ron by the wrist and dragged him into a corner.

"Are you crazy?"

Yang Qinglan laughed at herself: "I've always been crazy, haven't I?" ”

Old Martin raised all four hands at the same time and scratched at the head, which looked very funny.

"You know as well as I do what it means to volunteer, even if you are Ronte, the chances of survival are pitiful! You're now the top leader of the Alliance, how can you suddenly not think about it? ”

"I didn't think about it." Yang Qinglan tilted her head and put on an innocent face, "I just want to save the world." ”

"You save the! If the world is destroyed, you will do it! ”

"Ha, thanks for the compliment."

"Hurry back! Don't make trouble for me, if you really want to save the world, give me your son, if you are reluctant, aren't there so many former leaders of the major forces in the alliance now, they can do it, the genetic level is not worse than yours, and sending one to the bottom can solve the problem. ”

"I've informed the whole league of this decision, and now I can't believe it when I go back."

"You!" Old Martin's eyes widened, his scalp was about to be scratched by four hands, "What the hell are you thinking?!" ”

"I just said that I want to save the world."

“@&%……@￥#&……&（……&*#！ ￥%￥%…… ¥ "A large string of dialects of the United Kingdom of St. Åran came out of his mouth, and if it wasn't for Yang Qinglan to stop him, he would probably be about to hit the wall.

"Don't be so excited, I've already thought about it very seriously."

“……”

"If nothing else, the next Grand Commander should be Soso, I have taken care of him, he will continue to support your research, if you have any requirements that he thinks is too much, then you can tell Lisbon, that child yearns for the light, you have to be tolerant."

"Hah! A psychopathic old madman who not only wants to save the world, but now he has become an elder who cares about the healthy growth of children, I don't want you to volunteer anymore, I want to open your head to see if you have something in your head that shouldn't be there! ”

"Volunteers have arrived, time is pressing, don't you want to perfect your puppet experiments as soon as possible?"

“…… You lunatic! Utter lunatic! ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

“……”

After the alliance officially broke out that the commander chose to become a volunteer, Ron really did not appear in the public eye again, and many people expressed their concern about this matter and wanted to know the follow-up situation.

"Hello everyone, this is a temporary live broadcast program set up by the Press Office of the General Administration of the Wisdom Alliance, as we all know, last week, the Wisdom Alliance Commander Ron Sharon Tyne announced to everyone the fact that he will become the ninth puppet experiment volunteer, for a week, many people have reported to us that they want to pay attention to the follow-up, and we are also actively applying to the superiors, so today, we came to the experimental star with live broadcast equipment."

"Look behind us, this is the surface of the experimental star, and as far as the eye can see, it is desolate. Because the surface of the experimental star is uninhabitable, the environment is extremely harsh, and beneath the surface is the real location of the puppeteer research center. ”

"Next, our live broadcast team will follow the lead into the core area of the experimental star, this process involves confidentiality, so we will interrupt the live broadcast for a while, and then turn it on after entering the experimental star, please calm down."

"Then we'll see you later."

The live broadcast was plunged into darkness, but the number of people watching the live broadcast rose at a very terrifying rate, obviously nothing could be seen, but no one was impatient, everyone quietly waited for the picture to reappear, for fear of missing a little.

The wait was more than half an hour.

The live broadcast started again, and the host who was still wearing life-sustaining equipment on the surface just now had changed his outfit, which looked very much like a senior researcher at first glance, and around her was a laboratory with a lot of precision instruments.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but now the live broadcast continues."

"The laboratory we are in is currently the most important laboratory in the entire experimental star, and it is here that Professor Martin, the head of the Alliance's Technical Headquarters, has developed an amazing puppet insect technology and has become the backbone of the resistance to the disaster of Arturis."

"It's a pity that Professor Martin refused to be interviewed, so there is no way for you to see him in person, but that doesn't stop us from paying him our highest respect."

"Next, we'll learn about the puppeteer experiments under the guidance of this Professor Sam, and understand the reality of Grand Commander Rond's life."

The live broadcast screen moved to a man who was covered all over his body with only his eyes left, the man didn't seem to be good at words, and he just nodded lightly when he found that the focus of the live broadcast had moved to his side, and then motioned to the host to follow him to the side.

At a specimen column, he stopped and pointed to the palm-sized "octopus" suspended in the idiosyncratic solution.

"This was the original ...... of the puppet worm experiment"

……

While the entire league was watching the live broadcast, there was a person who escaped from the confinement room with all his strength, not caring about his bleeding right arm, standing in the doorway to discern the direction, and running wildly.

But he had barely run a few steps when he was stopped.

"Kanan!"

Hearing his name called, Kanan stopped and looked back at the person with an indifferent expression.

"Lisbon, you said I would go wherever I could."

Lisbon had a great headache when he stared at him like this, and he sighed at his bloody right forearm and obviously broken left hand.

"Yes, whatever you want, but you might as well take care of the wound."

"There's not enough time."

"Don't worry, Minister of War...... The Grand Commander hasn't come out yet, and it just so happens that the situation of the experimental star is being broadcast live over there, and there should be a picture of him, and you can watch it while you are healing, so you can't delay it. ”

Standing motionless like a log, Kanan nodded after a long time.

Lisbon secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the terminal: "I'll ask your guards to come and pick you up." ”

"Hmm."

"Be obedient, when the live broadcast is over, I'll have someone send you to the experimental star."

"Okay."

The guards came quickly, and before the two could say a few more words, when they saw Kanan's injured arm, he hurried to take the man away as if the sky had fallen.

Seeing the two walk away, Lisbon scratched his ears in annoyance and sent a message to Soso, who was temporarily the Grand Commander, telling him about Kanan's escape from the closed room.

It's back quickly.

[Let him go, now he can't change the facts.] 】

Seeing this, Lisbon inexplicably felt a little bitter taste in his mouth, and he didn't send him any more messages, turned around and left.

Kanan behaved very cooperatively throughout the treatment, like a rag doll to be manipulated, focusing on the impact of the live broadcast in front of her throughout the whole process, watching intently.

At this time, the live broadcast has already reached the stage of introducing the puppeteer.

In the picture, Professor Sam stood in front of a closed door and pointed in the direction of the door, and said to the camera: "Behind this door, is the puppet man's research room, which is divided into several areas, and the confidential data area and data management center cannot be shown to everyone, but the volunteers that everyone pays attention to will appear in the camera." ”

Kanan's body involuntarily leaned forward.

The medical staff who were doing muscle tissue regeneration for him on the side were about to remind him not to move, but when he turned his head and found that the live broadcast had reached the most critical place, he glanced at him sympathetically, and he didn't plan to remind him.

Although it has been merged into the Wisdom Alliance from the Hanhai Empire, there has basically not been much change within the organizational structure, just a change of name, these medical personnel are all members of the former Thirteenth Legion, and they have a deep understanding of the sadomasochistic entanglement between Deputy Commander Kanan and the military minister, how can they not be soft-hearted when they see this scene?

Kanan, who was all focused on the live broadcast, didn't notice the mood change of the medical staff next to him, staring intently at the gradually opening door in the picture, as if the person he was expecting would appear immediately behind the door.

Behind the door, however, is a long hallway, and the lights in the hallway are extremely dim, and the camera mode automatically switches to night mode under such lights.

"On both sides of the corridor are the progress that Professor Martin has been making in this research, because many of them are sensitive to light, so the lighting is dim."

The camera's focus immediately shifted from Professor Sam to the various items displayed on both sides of the corridor, and the sheer number of items made everyone who knew the goods gasp.

That legendary Professor Martin is worthy of being a research maniac, and it shouldn't have been three years since the Puppet Worm Project started researching, right? He's been able to make so many things!

But when I think about it, everyone takes it for granted.

If it weren't for that, what qualifications would it be to be one of the core pillars of resistance to the Aturisid disaster?

The corridor is very long, but no matter how long it is, there is a time when it is finished, and when another door appears in the picture, the audience waiting in front of the live broadcast invariably holds their breath.

They could all guess that the next step should be the most important part.

The door opened, and an empty hall appeared in the frame, with several tall translucent pillars standing in the hall, some of which were suspended with objects about the size of an adult, but because of the winding of too many pipes, it was impossible to see clearly.

"This is the puppet volunteer renovation room, and among these petri dishes are the volunteers who are still alive."

As if shocked by such a scene, the host did not answer immediately, but after a while, he coughed lightly like waking up from a dream, appeared in the picture, pointed to those columns and asked, "Are they all here?" Including the Grand Commander? ”

"Yes."

"You just said ...... Alive? ”

"Yes, we have recruited a total of nine qualified volunteers, in addition to the two heroes who have been sent out to complete the task, two more died in the trial stage because of excessive rejection reaction."

"What about these empty ...... Petri dish? ”

"That's what we call them."

"Okay, these empty petri dishes, are they the ones of the heroes who have died?"

"Yes, according to Professor Martin's instructions, we did not use these petri dishes again, and the names and lives of the four heroes are also engraved on the shells of these petri dishes, and on the day when the alliance wins, these petri dishes will be donated to the alliance to build a memorial museum, along with the materials and instruments outside."

"At that time, I will definitely go to pay tribute to these heroes who have sacrificed for the alliance."

"Thank you."

"Can we get a closer look at them now?"

"These are extremely secret information, and they can't be ...... for the time being."

Professor Yamaki's head tilted suddenly, as if someone next to him whispered something to him, and the refusal that was about to be said immediately changed his words.

"Yes, we have an obligation to let the whole league see the dedication of these heroes."

"Thank you so much!"

The scene zooms in on the nearest empty petri dish, which, as Professor Sam says, is engraved with the hero's name, age, and life.

The moderator read aloud.

"White Xiumi, male, eighty-one years old, former Third Military Department of the Hanhai Empire...... Deputy Minister of the Army?! I remember that he was written on the list of the first line of the dead! ”

"He did die on the front line, didn't he, under everyone's gaze."

The host was speechless.

The scene quickly shifts to a second petri dish, and in this petri dish is a large man with his eyes closed, his facial expression extremely painful, his limbs entwined with countless pipes, and some of them connected to his veins, delivering a special solution to his body.

Because he is still alive, there is no information about this person engraved on the petri dish.

"They...... Are you still aware of the outside world? ”

The host's voice was not as clear as before, a little dry, and Professor Sam's calm voice was in stark contrast to hers.

"Theoretically, but this one has fallen into a deep sleep because of his body's self-protection function because of his slightly poor endurance, so he doesn't know about it."

"I can...... Ask his name? ”

"Lucien Pulcius, one of the twenty-four star bishops of the former Holy See of St. Auland, his Christian name 'Acheli' is perhaps better known."

"Bishop Acheli?!" The host was so surprised that he broke the sound, and the picture camera was also very close, so that the audience could see his face more clearly.

Although the face was hideous because of the pain, the loyal believers of the Holy See were able to confirm that the person in the petri dish was indeed the Bishop of the Sixth Star they were familiar with, Acheli.

The Bishop of the Stars is a great man in status second only to the Archbishop! There are only twenty-four in the whole of Saint-Ålan!

Many of the former people of St. Åland knelt in front of the picture, clasped their hands together and prayed for their bishop with tears in their eyes.

The live stream continues.

Nine petri dishes, and five of them have people in them, and Uncle Sam has given a more detailed introduction to each of them, and all of these people are former top-level figures in the pan-universe.

The deputy legion commander and the star bishop are just the beginning, and there are even the captains of the super five-star adventurer team, the vice president of the Central Garden Adventurers Association, the president of the Central Liaison School, the military minister of the Seventh Military Department of the Hanhai Empire, the cardinal archbishop of St. Aulan, and the former vice president of the Cotesa Federation.

In the past, each of them alone was enough to scare a vote to death, but when they appeared in groups, everyone was moved to tears.

When the principal of the Liaison School held his fingers behind the transparent petri dish wall and wrote "The Federation will eventually win, the children must cheer" and squeezed out a smile at the camera, crying rang out in every corner of the entire Federation.

The cardinal archbishop of St. Oran clasped his hands together in the petri dish and silently read the content of a canon, and the original residents of St. Oran before the live broadcast showed pious expressions, also clasped their hands together, and followed along-

"God loves the world. God says that as long as there is light in my heart, no matter how dark the world is, I can be guided, I am everywhere and omniscient; I feel your pain, I am proud of your achievements, and I will always be with you. ”

If these volunteers touched the people of the Federation and brought them hope, then when Ron appeared in the picture, people really realized what "strength" and "confidence" were.

Even though the first few volunteers tried to maintain their smiles, they still couldn't hide their painful expressions because of genetic modification, but Ron was different, he obviously had more pipes inserted into his body, but his expression was as arrogant as ever, and his eyes looking at the camera seemed to say to everyone: "Uncle Ben is here, what are you afraid of?" ”

The host didn't dare to get too close, and stood there far away and bent down to Ron and saluted, Ron barely lifted his eyelids, which was a reply.

The host looked at Professor Sam and asked hesitantly, "Couldn't the previous ones hear the outside world, and neither could the Grand Commander?" ”

Professor Sam thought for a moment and did not answer immediately, but shouted into Ron in the petri dish, "Can you hear me, Chief?" ”

Ron in the petri dish nodded slightly.

The host hurriedly whispered: "Hurry up and ask the Grand Commander to say something to the audience of the alliance!" ”

Professor Sam glanced at the host, as if he was annoying her, but he still obediently shouted into the petri dish: "This is the live broadcast of the whole alliance, does the military minister have anything to say?" ”

Ron in the petri dish tilted his head, hooked the corners of his mouth to the camera, chin a little, moved his lips and said something, but no sound came out.

The host, who didn't know lip language, had to look at Professor Sam.

Professor Sam smiled and repeated what Ron had just said aloud.

"The Minister of War said—Prepare for victory, guys."

……

"Alright."

The nurse removed the last plate from Kanan's left hand and motioned for him to leave.

The guard handed over his coat at the right time, and Kanan reached out to take it, took one last look at Ront, who was frozen in the live broadcast screen, stood up and walked out.

A few guards followed.

"Where are you going?"

"Experimental Star."

"Then I'll prepare ......"

"Look for Lisbon, he's prepared."

"Yes!"

Three hours later, Kanan met Ron in the same hall soaked in a petri dish.

At this time, the live broadcast had already ended, and the live broadcast team had already been sent out of the experimental star, for fear of any accidents, the old Martin did not let Kanan and Ron be alone, but accompanied them, and did not let the guards go out.

Standing in front of the petri dish, Canan stared silently at Ronte's face for an hour.

Old Martin was anxious to wait beside him, so he simply took out a small instrument to do his own thing, and the guards stood quietly with him, motionless.

In the petri dish, Yang Qinglan looked at Kanan's face that was slightly deformed due to refraction through the liquid that was not completely transparent, and her mood was very complicated.

His progress bar still shows three question marks.

Soso's progress bar is now 62 per cent and Lofeel's is 71 per cent.

Because she was not sure of the specific nature of these three question marks, she didn't even dare to open the aura of faith, what if it was minus a thousand? As soon as the halo opened, it doubled to minus two thousand, and when the time came, she had nowhere to cry.

The more I thought about her, the more irritable she became, and the less she wanted to react first.

The two looked at each other silently for an hour.

Just after an hour, Kanan finally spoke.

"You don't want me anymore."

Because of the liquid of unknown ingredients through the petri dish, Yang Qinglan couldn't hear what Kanan was saying at all, but fortunately, Ron himself had the skill of lip reading, and she still "heard" what he said.

So she replied, "You're free." ”

Although Kanan's face was expressionless and his eyes were not red, those eyes looked like they were about to cry no matter how they looked.

Yang Qinglan continued: "Without me, you can be a real Kanan, your world is far wider than what I showed you before. ”

Finding that the two had finally moved, old Martin walked up to the guard and asked him, "What did the old madman say?" ”

The guard replied in a low voice: "The Grand Commander said that the deputy head of the regiment is free, he can be his true self and have a wider world." ”

Hearing the guard's voice, Kanan turned his head sharply, and without warning, he raised his hand to aim at the guard, and shot it!

The shot hit his brain with unmistakable accuracy, blowing off half of his head.

Old Martin was startled by this sudden shot, and after reacting, he let out a helpless "tsk", shook his head, bent down and pulled the body of the guard out of the hall, leaving the space for the two people.

Yang Qinglan was even more frightened than Old Martin, because the moment Kanan raised his gun to shoot, the progress bar that was still three question marks just now immediately turned red, showing a three-digit number.

“268”。
