Prologue: Cross Project

4162 A.D. Ark III ground control room

The young man's gaze is fixed on the clean, smiling faces of two teenagers, a photograph taken in 2195 A.D., set against the background of dusk at the base of the Cross. m.

He thought, he used to have such a gentle smile!

Even after many years, he still remembered the moment when he looked at the sunset at the Cross Base and knew nothing about the future.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Hey, would you like to come with us to the other side of the nebula?" ”

The young man was patted on the shoulder coldly, and he didn't like it, but because it was him, he didn't show it on his face, and only when he was staring at him a little embarrassed, he asked lightly, "...... You're not staying at the base anymore? ”

It is an interrogative sentence and a declarative sentence.

At this time, he didn't notice the low pressure of the young man, but nodded with his eyebrows, and said very happily, "Well, although I really want to realize my ideals like you in this era, but, for people like us, when we meet the favorite person, maybe she is the only one in this life, so I'd better leave with her, anyway, with my ability, I can make great achievements in any era." ”

Hearing his conceited and proud words, the long eyelashes of the young man with lowered eyes twitched, and he wanted to ask him if he would regret today's decision in the future, but he moved his mouth and didn't ask.

Because they are the same, from small to large, they are all fighting.

Not only because they were both born in the disciplined and hierarchical Iron City of Steel, but also because each other's ideals before the age of twenty were to become archons of the Cross Base, and they even had the same level of the first test, the tasks assigned by the base, the partners they chose, and even the people they liked for the first time.

“…… I used to be so proud and conceited, I offended a lot of people, and even you were ostracized, and I almost lost my qualification for the test, I'm sorry. He was still saying, as if he had told him all the words in this life, and there was basically no possibility of reunion in this separation.

The young man raised his eyebrows and said sullenly, "Why do you apologize to me, you are not the only one who is proud and conceited...... "And me!"

“…… I know, you like her too, but you are more rational than me, and your goal of becoming the archon of the Cross Base has never changed, although my goal was the same at the beginning, but now it seems that you are more suitable than me, and it is not for nothing that the Doctor chose you over me. ”

"I've been thinking about what kind of world is the best, and maybe the civilization you have created is the best."

The boy looked at him with wide eyes, smiled softly, and behind him, the distant travelers who were about to board the flying car waved at him.

Then, he and his companions flew away as a flock of white birds.

At that time, one of them just said it casually, and the other did not go to his heart, thinking that thousands of years later, one of them would try his best to realize the other person's expectations for the future.

It's a pity that it backfired, and that person had turned into a white bird, flapping his wings and flying away, merging with the white world, and no one could find him again.

"It's ...... White jade and Ze? Behind him, the recorder who had come to the control room to hand over authority in place of the commander asked softly.

The young man let out a "hmm", stretched out his hand to turn off the projection, looked out the window at the huge ark, rubbed his temples, and said no more.

My old enemy, my lifelong friend, farewell.

When you and I met in Weiwei, we have seen each other's most embarrassing side, and we who don't know anything about the future have gone all the way in the war, but in the end we have become old friends who dare not remember each other's lives......
