Chapter 11: Mengdan

on the training ground

Today was Officer Hawley's physical fitness class, and the cadets had to rely on the miniature suction cups on their hands and feet to silently climb a 300-meter-high wall of glass in 20 minutes. The trainees wore seat belts and spread out in a line, climbing up in groups.

"Wow!" Ilul, who had already climbed halfway, suddenly screamed in pain, his hands and feet did not climb the glass again, his small body curled up in a ball, and he was suspended by Feiya at a height of hundreds of meters and swung up.

The automatic alarm sounded immediately, and a large number of people quickly gathered in the open space directly below Luer, and the staff on duty hurriedly lowered her from the air.

"What's wrong with you?" Instructor Holly was also nervous, for fear that the last explosion would leave some sequelae, and it would be troublesome for Kechana to come back and see it.

"It should be fine, I don't know where it hurts, and my back will sting if I move a little. Can I practice again later? Lull slowly rose from the ground, her voice pitiful.

"You hurry up to the hospital and take a look, find someone in our class to help you, and I'll finish everyone's class first." Instructor Hawley instructed carefully.

"It's okay, I'll ask Katie to come with me, don't delay everyone's class."

Lull slowly moved out, and had not walked far away from the group when she saw Katie hurrying over. Her eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement.

"And now? How do we get out? Lull asked.

"Don't worry, my brother just wasn't here today, you just hide in my commuter, and the sentinels in the valley never stop me." Katie said with confidence.

The Meg Islands are the largest natural island group in Jiaxing, covering an area of 270,000 square kilometers, and the sparsely populated city of Kajie, which is located in the northwest corner of the Meg Islands, usually rarely has large-scale performances, so when the magic art troupe led by Meng Dan came to Kajie City, the crowd was close to boiling everywhere they went.

As always, the troupe still chooses to perform in the evening, which is the most enchanting moment of Gatiz: Reims has put away the scorching heat of the day, and has painted a brilliant oil painting in warm colors on the fading purple canopy; The pale Gayue faintly revealed her beautiful face from the beautiful sunset; The Mutan, Levi, and Ice Morning stars each occupy a corner of the sky, shimmering and shimmering.

The mobile stage of the Magic Art Troupe is set on the Jianjiao Peninsula on the coast, with the vast Gatis Sea in the background. When Ilul and Katie arrive, the show has already begun. Beyond the yellow curved section in front of the stage are flying machines floating in mid-air for the audience. From time to time, some curious children slipped to the top of the stage in their cartoon cars to peek down, and were patiently "invited" by the on-site staff one by one.

Katie Frasa picked left and right, and finally found an excellent position in the bustling flying machine, at a depression angle of 30 degrees near the center of the stage, activated the stationary floating mode of the aircraft, and watched the performance with Luer leisurely.

First of all, the simulated robot dancers used by the art troupe brought a bright warm-up dance, and finally waited for three or four programs before everyone saw the legendary singer Meng Dan. In the soft and poetic sound of the piano, Meng Dan glides from the thin film hanging from the sky to the center of the stage like a fairy in the sky, and under the spotlight, the bright eyes sparkle and sweep over the crowd.

Her lips opened slightly, and her gentle and beautiful voice made the originally tumultuous and buzzing scene quiet down in an instant: "I'm glad that everyone is here to cheer, this is the first time that our art troupe has come to perform in Kajie City." Today, I take this opportunity to dedicate an ancient ballad sung by the Spirit Clan to you, I hope you like it. ”

"Voyage"

Three hundred years ago,

We say goodbye to our hometown,

Spanning the sea of stars for thousands of years,

Look for the sunshine on the other side.

The stars guide, the paradise of dreams;

Over the Gahai Sea, the fairy mist is boundless,

The waves are singing for us—

Human explorers,

A new chapter has been opened since then!

Even though the return date is long,

We are no longer confused,

Be brave and go for it!

Let the earth's civilization continue to sail away......

Meng Dan's voice is like a heavenly sound, sometimes tactful and gentle and intoxicating, sometimes high-pitched and clear, with passion. The night deepened, and the bright Mu Tan Star blinked in the purple sky, as if singing to the beat of the music. Her singing brought people back to those passionate years, and many of the people present had moist eyes and began to hum along. Katie Frasa and Ilul were immersed in this chorus of thousands, and gradually became a little sleepy. When I was half asleep, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark blue flying machine next to me, which was very familiar.

"Katie, whose do you think this is? Is it from the valley? Lull pointed out to Katie that "Valley" was the secret name of the Seventh Military Camp in the outside world.

Katie looked in Luer's direction and cried out, "Oops."

"It's the reconnaissance detachment," Katie glanced at Lul worriedly, "I don't care, if you get bumped into by them......"

"What then? Why don't I go back first? Ilul was also a little nervous, it wasn't a joke to be caught like this.

"Watch two more shows, let's go together, it's strange, how can the reconnaissance team still have the leisure to come out to watch the show?" Katie wondered.

In the evening, the two of them successfully returned to the seventh barracks, but fortunately no one noticed them slipping away, and the stone hanging from the hearts of the two girls finally fell to the ground and returned to their respective rooms as if nothing had happened. It's just that Luer had a strange dream this night, she actually dreamed of Mengdan!

I forgot the latter part of the dream, but I only remembered the first part, where Mengdan was standing on the huge stage as in the daytime, shining brightly, but the audience around him was the only one left in Yiluer. But Meng Dan still sang for her with dedication and emotion, and after singing the song, Meng Dan bowed to her.

In the dream, Ilul said embarrassedly: "Just me, an audience, you still sing so well." ”

"It's okay, I came here to continue singing for me." Meng Dan looked at her and smiled mysteriously at Lu'er in the dream: "And by the way, I will ask you a few questions." ”

Ilul woke up from her dream and stared at the wall in a daze, she didn't remember the questions Mengdan asked her, but she vaguely felt that they were very important questions.

Seven days later

Ilul was only halfway through her morning class when she was suddenly invited by the internal guard to Kechana's office, where Katie Fisa was.

"Did you two slip out when I wasn't in the valley the other day?" Kechana asked bluntly as soon as they met.

Ilul's heart beat faster, and she and Katie glanced at each other, and the two of them asked in unison, pretending to be confused, "What day?" ”

Luer heard a man behind him smile softly, and turned his head to see a strange man leaning on the sofa in the corner at some point. Luer was a little annoyed, why was this person so rude, he just came in without saying hello, and laughed at them. His facial features are three-dimensional and very sculptural, but the most special thing is the blue eyes, which are as deep as a demon, as if they can see through people's hearts. But Ilul didn't bother to study the man's eyes at this moment, for Kechana was looking at the two of them with a gloomy face.

"What day, come and fill me with garlic," Kechana suppressed his anger, "It's the day that the Magic Art Troupe came to perform in Kajie City." ”

Luer said innocently: "Oh, I was a little injured during high-altitude training that day, and the students in the class know that Chief Hawley approved sick leave for me to go back and rest for half a day, and Katie took me to the market to buy some medicine." ”

Lull said, catching a glimpse of Katie, who was tense behind Kechana, breathing a sigh of relief.

Kechana's face softened slightly: "Why didn't I hear Lot and Yuna report that you were injured, why didn't you see it at the military doctor?" ”

"It's not serious, it just so happened that Katie was going out, so I asked her to take me with me to see it, and then ......" Ilul said seriously.

"Then you went to see Mengdan's art troupe perform, didn't you?" Kechana's face sank.

"yes, what's wrong?" Katie also said with a puzzled expression: "We just passed by there and saw them set up a stage in the open air on the Jianjiao Peninsula, and they stayed for a while and then came back. ”

"Do you know who Meng Dan is?" The strange man in the corner opened his mouth lazily.

"Yes," Katie turned her head to look at the man, "a singer from the Spirit Clan." ”

The Spirit Clan, is an independent race that freely travels between the Ga Mist Planet, with a total number of only about 900 people, formerly known as the Rand Corporation on Earth and a mysterious non-governmental organization of the Ancient Asia Alliance, the Ga Star Mansion and the Mist Star Royal Family often spend a lot of money to make the Spirit Race members become guests of high-level decision-making. The Lings are usually selected from the top figures in all walks of life, and their expertise covers a wide range of fields, including theoretical physics, life sciences, aeronautics and astronautics, philosophy, economics, mathematics, theology, Yixue, sociology, traditional Chinese medicine, qigong, yoga, Chinese martial arts, etc., usually scattered among the crowd to engage in their respective professions, but every thirty years, the Lingpeople will gather together to predict and guide the future development trend of mankind, and issue a development white paper for the Jiaxing Mansion and the Fog Star Imperial Chamber. Their analysis is based on a combination of sophisticated calculus and subtle predictions, and the predictions are up to 80% in line with reality.

"She's a powerful dream interpreter," said the handsome strange man, "and according to the video of Namengdan's singing provided by the reconnaissance detachment, I found that each of them hides a band with strong psychological implications. In other words, you've been tricked. ”
