Dala is in the communication room and has a video connection with an elegant middle-aged man, who is Chu He's father, the contemporary patriarch of the Chu clan.

The two exchanged questions about Chu He's desire to join the Red Kite Fleet. To Dala's surprise, Chu Shi did not object, but agreed to let Chu He join the Red Kite Fleet.

"If our Chu clan doesn't even have the power to decide the direction of our lives, then are we still the Chu clan? I can feel that Ah He really wants to join the Red Kite Fleet, and if she wants to do it, I will support her. ”

Chu Shi paused and continued: "Captain Dala, as a father, I ask you to do your best to protect Chu He, and you must protect her. Speaking of which, Dala can clearly feel the change in mood at the beginning.

This may be the first time he has begged someone, because he is not only the man who stands at the top of the times, but also a father.

……

Today is the end of the Ark's closed period

At 9:35 a.m., the door to the confinement chamber opened, and a figure slowly stepped out of the darkness.

The ark was neatly dressed and straight, and his eyes were blazing, not at all like a man who had been locked up for thirty days.

A lot of people gathered at the door of the confinement room, not only Bai Guo, but even An Ran also came, the short peach was also in the crowd, and Shi Nuo, Zhao Xuan and Zhou Xing, who were in the same room with him, also came.

At noon, everyone took the ark to the canteen of the Tiancang base for a meal, the food of the starfleet has always been relatively simple, and today the ark is finally satisfied.

......

In the afternoon, there was a more important activity - the exchange meeting.

Of course, it does not refer to meeting directly, during the service, in order to avoid information leakage, most of the time the soldiers who serve are not allowed to communicate directly with their families, but they can communicate through some indirect means.

For example, during the repair of the Blue Wave Star this time, the Shenzhou Alliance Army sent a notice to the families of the soldiers of the Red Kite Fleet, and they could write letters or send some things to their relatives who were serving.

And this afternoon is when the transport ship arrives carrying letters and items that the family is missing.

......

At this time, Fang Zhou was also mixed in the waiting crowd, Fang Zhou did not have any relatives in this world, he had heard Bai Guo mention this matter before, and he had a plan - to send something to himself.

Sending things to yourself sounds somewhat bleak.

Ark did not do this, of course, to make himself seem less lonely, but because of the problem of tears.

Tears of the Heart is the exclusive weapon of the Ark, and because of its lethality, the Ark does not dare and cannot put the Tears in a place beyond its control.

The best option is to take it with you.

......

But tears of heart, as a weapon of 'shadow', have been known to the world, if the ark is so openly with tears, it is simply the same as saying directly: "Don't pretend, I am the shadow, I have a showdown." "It feels pretty much the same.

So the ark had to think of a way to carry tears with him without letting others see it.

Bai Qi mentioned before that there is a method of mimicry for heart tears, which can transform the appearance into an object roughly the size and shape of heart tears. Before the tears, it was transformed into a seven-colored umbrella.

Fang Zhou thought this method was very good, but if he suddenly had an extra umbrella, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

And this exchange meeting is a good opportunity to give the seven-color umbrella version of Tears a legal identity.

Fang Ark had already let Bai Qi quietly mix his tears into the items sent.

......

Everyone opened the letters they received, Bai Guo was a letter, An Ran was a box of traditional osmanthus cakes, and Peaches was a plush toy.

They received the more common kinds, and they were interested when they saw what the Ark had received, whether it was a rain gear or a retro-style umbrella.

They were curious about the umbrella, and Peaches wanted to come over and take a look, but Fang Zhou deliberately opened the seven-colored umbrella before handing it over.

Peaches took it and looked at it, feeling that it was nothing special, so she quickly returned the umbrella to the ark.

Although it was only for a few seconds, Momoko always felt panicked when she held the umbrella.

……

In the evening, Peaches came to the Ark, and when the Ark's confinement was over, it was time for the Ark, who was a cleaner, to get to work.

But in the arrangement of the work area, as the cleaning manager Momoko didn't make a decision for a while, because the areas that need to be cleaned have been arranged, and there are several areas that can also be cleaned, but they are not suitable for various reasons.

While Momoko is worried about this matter, she receives an email from Captain Dala mentioning that the corridor at the entrance to the captain's room needs to be cleaned by one person, and let Momoko arrange it.

The door of the captain's room had never been cleaned before, and although I don't know why the captain had changed his mind, this just solved the problem of the ark's work.

After Momoko told the Ark about this arrangement, it was exactly what the Ark wanted.

.......

That night, Dala, Su Mei, and Fire Kite gathered in the captain's room of the main ship.

Here, they received a notification of a new mission from the Alliance's headquarters.

......

（94.）

The next day, the ark was officially inaugurated.

Fang Ark first went to the cleaning tool storage room to get a full set of tools, and the way to the captain's room Peaches had already taken him through yesterday. And his identity has also been approved to pass through the ship, so the ark came to the door of the captain's room smoothly.

At this time, the main ship was still anchored at the Tiancang base, and most of the personnel of the red kite were not in the ship, and the ship was quiet.

The ark will work when it comes up, and it will never be too late to be lazy when it is done.

An hour later, only the last small part of the work area in charge of the ark was left, and then Bai Qi's voice sounded: "The person you are waiting for has arrived." ”

"Oh, so fast?"

Ark got up and wiped his hands, the man had come much earlier than he had expected, but that wasn't a bad thing.

The ark continued to bend over to work, and sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps, judging by the density of the footsteps, there should be five people.

The hatch opened, and Dala stepped out first, followed by Fire Kite, then Hatsuha, and Sister Rose behind her.

After getting the consent of Chu He's father yesterday, Dura brought Chu He to the captain's office today to register her. After registering, she officially became a member of the Red Kite Fleet.

......

They stepped out of the elevator and saw a tall young man standing by the wall, and the young man was doing the standard military salute in front of them: "Good captain, good captain." Hello three girls. ”

Dala looked at the ark and nodded, not only a recognition of her work, although the place was originally quite clean, but after the ark cleaned, it still made her feel refreshed, cleaning is not a difficult job, but it needs to be serious, and now this result is enough to see that the ark is really attentive. There is also the attitude of the Ark, the military salute shows respect, and the subsequent gaze salute does not appear humble.

Not humble, not arrogant, not bad.

And there was a reason why the Dala had arranged the Ark here, when they deduced that the 'Shadow' might be hiding in their fleet, and they searched all the cleaners, and the one they felt most like was the Ark.

Although the ark was in confinement at the time, Shadow had shown his hand through the wall.

They didn't know what Shadow looked like, but they found that the Ark and Shadow were very similar in size.

But their voices don't sound like that, but it's also possible that 'Shadow' used a voice-changing tool at that time.

Although the Ark does have similarities with the 'Shadow', there is one very most puzzling place, if the Ark is really the 'Shadow', then with his strength, why would he stoop to be a cleaner? What is his purpose?

But more likely, the ark and the 'shadow' should have nothing to do with it.

But whether it is or not, there is no evidence to prove it. So it needs to be observed, and that's why Dala arranged the ark here.

......

At this time, they found that the ark was carrying an umbrella, a seven-colored umbrella with an ancient style.

Ay? How is the way he carries the umbrella so similar to the posture of Shadow's negative knife?

"It's suspicious."

The fire kite shouted, "Ark." ”

The ark saluted the fire kite, "Here, captain." ”

"What's the matter with your umbrella?"

"Report to the captain, this umbrella was sent to me by my friend from Earth."

"Ark, can you show me this umbrella?"

"Yes, Captain."

Fang Zhou did not refuse, took the initiative to untie the seven-colored umbrella on his back, and opened it and handed it over.

The fire kite took it over and examined it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it, confirming that it was just an ordinary umbrella, and then returned the umbrella to the ark.

The Ark once again put the seven-colored umbrella back on its back.

After the fire kite returned the umbrella, Dala found that the fire kite's face was a little pale: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The fire kite shook his head a little confused: "I'm fine." ”

......

At this time, Chu He was also looking at the ark, how could this cleaner have a familiar feeling, strange?

Chu He's vision is very broad, and she has seen a lot of the best young people of our time, but no one can make her remember that Chu He has this sense of familiarity for the first time.

Although Chu He had strange feelings about Fang Zhou, she didn't have the habit of taking the initiative to talk to others, so she naturally didn't ask.

......

"Please wait a minute."

Ark said, then quickly stepped forward to remove the cleaning tools in the middle of the corridor.

And at the moment when Fang Zhou stretched out his hand, because the sleeves were relatively short, a red patch of the inside of his left wrist was exposed.

At this moment, Chu He's blue eyes rippled, and she finally understood where that familiar feeling came from, and this heart finally saw the light of day.

But she held back the turmoil in her heart, and remained silent on the surface, just taking one more look at the ark and following Dala into the captain's room.

Although Chu He's change just now was very hidden, Fang Zhou still clearly felt her emotional change.

"The plan went well."

……

Half an hour later, the Dalas came out of the captain's room, and it seemed that their business was done.

They did not linger and soon left.

And the ark continued to mop the floor.

Half an hour later, there was an even sound of footsteps.

"Here we are."

A moment later, Chu He's figure walked gently in front of the ark.

Ark stood up: "Hello. ”

"Your name is Ark, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu He smiled: "I'm only 16 years old, it's not appropriate to call me a lady." ”

"What should that call you?"

Chu He pondered for a while and said, "Why don't you just call me Ah He?" “

"Uhhh It's not appropriate. ”

"I allow you to call it that."

"Okay, Miss Ahe." Fang Zhou still didn't call Ah He.

"Fang Zhou, I take the liberty of asking, why did you choose to join the army?"

"Don't hide it from the girl, I was selected by the conscription system to join the army. But it feels good to join the army, and I also experience a different life. “

"A different life, such as saving a girl in deep danger?" Chu He's words seem to mean something.

Ark waved his hand: "I'm just a cleaner, and I don't have the opportunity to go out and do such a great thing." Of course, if I have the chance, I still hope to do this kind of good thing. ”

......

Chu He continued: "By the way, Ark, have you heard of 'Shadow'? ”

"No, I haven't heard the name?"

"It's strange that you know that 'Shadow' is a name and not something else?"

Fang Zhou paused and said, "Guess." ”

"Then your instincts are accurate."

"It's okay."

......

When the two were chatting, Chu He suddenly said: "Chu He." ”

Fang Zhou subconsciously continued: "The day is noon." ”

After Fang Zhou finished speaking, he found that Chu He was looking at him strangely.

Fang Zhou replied calmly: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil. This ancient poem is really good. ”

......

Seeing that the ark had passed again, Chu He looked a little frustrated: "It's a pleasure to chat with you." ”

After speaking, Chu He turned around and waved his hand at the ark: "I'm leaving, goodbye, Master." ”

Fang Zhou waved his hand in disgust: "Didn't I say that you would call me Master before I agreed?" ”

"Hey, hey."

Chu He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Master, you finally admit it." ”

......

Fang Zhou paused for a moment, then put down the mop in his hand: "Haha, Chu He, you are indeed very smart. It took a lot of effort to make me admit it. ”

Saying that the ark walked towards Chu He, every step he took, the surrounding environment changed, when the ark walked in front of Chu He, the surrounding environment had undergone earth-shaking changes, and Fang Zhou's palm was gently placed on Ah He's shoulder: "But aren't you putting yourself in danger like this." ”

Chu He looked at the surrounding corpse mountain and sea of blood, and he didn't turn around for a while, he just said that he was in the main ship, why did he come to this kind of place after a while?

Is this fake? But why does it look exactly like the real thing, and the cold air is filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

At this time, the ark was black-clothed, white-faced, and bloody, and he also changed back to the appearance of 'shadow', which means that he didn't plan to hide it.

"Sometimes excessive pursuit of the truth will bring you death."

Although Chu He was forced to be calm, his pale little face explained the problem: "Master, you won't hurt me." ”

"Where do you get your confidence?"

"Intuition."

"Intuition." The ark repeated, followed by a hoarse laugh from under the mask.

"Haha, is it really good to disregard your life for the sake of so-called intuition?"

Chu He shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not just intuition, when the master saved me, I knew that the master would not be a bad person." ”

"The world is not as dark as you think, it has enough darkness to eat people's hearts."

With that, Ark reached behind his back

"Wow"

With the faint sound of Jin Ge's attack, the blood-colored tears slowly came out of their sheaths, and the breath of the forest was diffused, making this already slaughtering battlefield more gloomy and cold.

Ah He had seen the ark's saber before, but this was the first time he had seen it unsheathed, and Chu He knew that there were countless lives slaughtered by the knife just by seeing the bloody killing aura on the blade.

Fang Zhou raised his tears, and the blade pointed at Chu He: "The result of exploring the truth is often swallowed by the truth. ”

But she still clenched her trembling little fists, straightened her neck and said, "No, Master won't be like this, Master won't be a bad person." ”

Fang Zhou smiled, it was time for her to feel the cruelty of reality for herself.

Under the edge of the sword, there will be a break.

......

After a round of blood, Fang Zhou reached out and grabbed a strand of pure white hair that had fallen and said, "The price of pursuing the truth is often cruel. ”
