The friends made a fuss until late before saying goodbye one after another. In the sky, three companion stars slowly walk through the Milky Way, gently casting a silvery light onto this beautiful planet. The hut was quiet again. Timmer had already fallen asleep.

Tired and confused, Luer gently walked out of the room, where Dad was cleaning up the table.

"Why don't you go to sleep yet?" Mia stopped what he was doing, and he was clearly in good spirits.

"I'll sleep later, my head is a little uncomfortable." Lull looked tired.

Miao Ya wondered, "It's strange, you've never shouted a headache before." Why don't you get a check-up another day? I guess it's not a big deal. ”

"Who knows, maybe I was ignorant when I was a child, and I fell out of bed, leaving sequelae and now attacking." Luer rubbed his temples and said with a bitter face.

Miao Ya shook his head: "This stupid boy, if you are not sick, you will be sick if you want to be sick." A child's bed is a semi-enclosed cover, unless gravity shakes you out of it. ”

It seems that the things of the childhood cannot be discovered. Luer continued, "Dad, I want to ask you a few questions. ”

"Say something." Miao Ya finished the work in his hand and stretched his waist: "But you have to go to bed early in a while, and your head won't hurt tomorrow." ”

"I just want to know," Lull said hesitantly, "Daddy... What are you praying for? ”

"Pray that you can successfully pass the exam in half a year." Mia said kindly, and his expression did not show anything unusual.

"Hey!" Luer let out a long sigh, "I don't have faith. The Holy Guard is an exam for astronauts, and the elimination rate is 70%. Dad, who do you think I or Timmer are more likely to be selected? ”

"Of course it's you. Timmer's perception is far worse than yours, and she doesn't work hard enough. ”

Then you still say that I am not in good health and am not suitable to go? Luer forced down the questions that had already sprung up on his lips and continued to probe: "Then Dad must really want me to go to space?" ”

"Whether you can go to space or not depends on your test scores. Dad's greatest hope is that you can live a safe and happy life for the rest of your life. Mia spoke his mind.

"Are you saying that space is dangerous?" Ilul heard the sound of the strings. At this time, several major planets in the Reims system had strongholds of Gamma or Fog, and space navigation was completely standardized, basically controlled by program, and astronauts only needed to specify their destinations. Except for the extrastellar mining fleet that flew out of the system, ordinary astronautics are just like mountaineering before, just a little troublesome to equip and pay more attention to details, and there is nothing special about it. On Gatis, the biggest space accident so far was only the inexplicable collapse of the star axis.

"Ilul, going to space is no small matter." After finishing the words in her hand, Miao Ya said to her 16-year-old daughter seriously: "You have to remember that everything is dangerous, and it is the same when you go to space. Many things just seem simple, but they are difficult to do. ”

Lull nodded. Yes, it's not that simple, Dad must have something to hide from her.

"Dad, please don't hide it from me anymore." Luer hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I came out early in the holy pool today and heard your conversation with Uncle Registrar, you don't want me to go to space. I wonder why. ”

Mia was shocked and turned to face Luer. His daughter's big bright eyes waited for his answer without blinking, and he read in Zhongluer's gaze doubts, worries, and no longer trusting him!

"There are some things I wanted to tell you later." Miao Ya said: "Ilul, you are finally 16 years old. Since you want to know, come with me and I'm going to show you something. He walked into the study, and his back was a little old and staggering.

Ilul silently followed.

Mia was crouching on the ground, fumbling with great pain, before pulling out a coffee-colored box from the mezzanine of the floor.

"Open it." Miya handed it to her daughter, "I've been hiding these secrets for more than ten years. ”

Ilul touched the uneven pattern on the surface of the box, which had lost its luster due to age, and an inexplicable fear welled up in her heart.

Miao Ya clicked on the lid of the box, the box opened automatically, and a beautiful blue three-dimensional galaxy picture jumped into view, and there was a blue necklace lying in the box.

"Whose is this?" Ilul asked.

Mia didn't answer, and brought up a loaded video, which opened with a couple in space suits, the woman was slender and tall, with black hair like Luer, and she was kind and strong; The man's figure is tall, and there are several vicissitudes hidden in his resolute eyes.

Lull stared at the couple for a long time. Suddenly, a faint, but inexplicable excitement that came like a tide made her feel like crying. She seemed to have a premonition of what her father was going to tell her, and a conjecture had formed in her mind.

Mia glanced at her daughter, then slowly slid the edge of the box, and the video switched to the woman's face, her face with hidden sadness:

"Lulu, Mom and Dad are sorry for you. The star axis is about to collapse, your dad is trying to fix it, I don't know what will happen in a while, whether I will still survive, or if I will just go to another world. Fortunately, when the star axis was unstable a few days ago, I entrusted Mr. Miao Ya to take you out of the star axis to settle down, you can be safe, and your parents will be relieved. I hope you grow up healthy and healthy. Don't! My Lul. ”

After listening, Ilul was stunned, and she turned to her father: "Is this for me?" ”

"Yes," Miao said with lowered eyes, "Your father, Garson, is in charge of the entry and exit of the Gaxing and Earth Passage, which is also my boss. Your mother, Liu Lan, is the person in charge of maintaining the interstellar axis channel, and they met and fell in love because of their work. This necklace was left to you by your mother. That time, there was quite a lot of interference on the star axis for several weeks, and their maintenance task was very heavy, so they had to temporarily entrust you to me who was on vacation, but I didn't expect the passage to collapse, they only had time to record a video and send it to me, and then the two disappeared with the complete collapse of the star axis. Of course they may not be dead, maybe they are all on Earth...... Luer? ”

Miao Ya saw that Ilu's breath was short, and her face turned slightly pale: "Lu'er, are you okay?" Mia wanted to reach out and comfort her.

"Don't touch me! I don't believe it! Elul shouted, shook off his hand, and ran into his room. In a burst of vertigo, the feeling of being deceived came over her. When she had calmly accepted the news of "her mother's death", now fate is teasing her like this. She turned out to be an orphan!

"Luer, I'm sorry." Miao Ya whispered at the door: "After your parents were gone, the Jiaxing Mansion once came to me and temporarily delivered 90 million accident compensation to my name, and the money will be automatically transferred to the newly generated personal account of the system after your 16th birthday......

Luer ignored him, just cried bitterly, even if he left a high amount of compensation now, but what is the use? When she thought that this cold money was exchanged for the lives of her parents, her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Mia let out a long sigh, Ilul would understand all this one day sooner or later. It's just that he originally hoped to tell her when Luer grows up and matures again.

"The collapse of the star axis is still a shadow in people's hearts, and many people still think that it is the fault of the star axis guardian group, so I applied to the general government a long time ago to keep your identity secret, and you should not easily reveal who your real parents are in the future, so as not to cause trouble. I also want to remind you that I know that once you understand your background, you will definitely go to see the area where things are going on. Is that right? ”

Luer didn't speak, tears still glistening in her eyes.

Miao Ya said abruptly: "Now that area has completely become a translucent dust cloud, but the radiation is still quite serious within ten kilometers, and it will kill people. I didn't want to tell you about your background, I just didn't want you to risk your life and do something stupid that didn't make sense. ”

"I'm not going to come close, I just want to commemorate it and see what is left." Luer's expression was so calm, even a glove or a broken helmet could be a memory of his parents.

"Gayue's space watch post has been scanned and filtered hundreds of times, leaving only that cloud of ashes behind." Miao Ya looked at the sad Luer and hesitated: "And according to the records of the monitoring post, the collapse of the star axis only lasted for 3.63 seconds, the temperature swelled to tens of millions of degrees, and everything vaporized instantly. Of course, there will be no pain. ”

Luer's heart ached, and tears dripped down again.

"I don't want to listen!" Ilul covered her ears in pain, her voice so loud that even her own ears buzzed.

Why are her biological parents so stupid? Joining the Star Axis Guardian Group, to undertake such a dangerous and unmisguided work, the navigation of the three planets is so heavy on his shoulders. As a result, although they may all have collapsed into a wisp of steam, they themselves have become orphans without parents. However, as Mia reminded just now, how many people will still blame and scold them more than sympathize with the people of Gaxing, Mist, and the people on Earth? Didn't she blame the Star Axis Guardian Group for being careless and causing people to never return to Earth?

And the most critical question is: why did the star axis suddenly collapse and disappear inexplicably after only being navigable in both directions for more than three years? Was it a mistake or was there a conspiracy? One question after another twisted into a hideous one in her mind"? ”。 Give me the answer! Please give me the answer!

Suddenly, it occurred to Ilul that although the star axis collapsed and exploded, this was only the result of what it saw from Gastar, what if Mom and Dad had already reached the other side of the Earth and just couldn't contact Gastar? She couldn't give up that hope. Besides, even if something really happens to her parents, she must find out the truth about the explosion of the star axis, and she can't let them disappear like this without knowing it!

In the darkness, Elul's eyes shone with cold water. She pressed a lilac button on the communication screen.

"Hello, Holy Voyage Bureau? Please send us a copy of the Earth's information. ”

"Yes, now."

※※※

The next morning, Ilu's door was still locked.

"Sister, why haven't you gotten up yet?" Timmer knocked on her sister's door a little strangely.

It's still quiet inside.

"Sister ----"

"Timmer, stop arguing with Lul. She's not feeling well today. Mia stepped forward.

"Dad----" Timmer wanted to ask him, "how do you know?" But looking at Daddy's face, it didn't seem like he was going to let him know anything. Timmer had to walk away silently, there must be something to hide from me, he thought.

In the room, the black-haired shawl-haired Ilul was sitting in front of the bed to check the Earth information that had just been delivered. "Earth, our home planet, is 50 light-years away from Gastar. In the first year of the Gajia calendar, the mother star migrated to Gaxing and Fog through the star axis channel, but the earth has never been able to get rid of the energy exhaustion and pollution crisis caused by the population collapse growth, and used to rely mainly on the energy supply of Gamma stars. Due to the unexpected collapse of the space channel fifteen years ago, it has lost all contact with the earth----- and because of the lack of energy, the earth has a 30% chance of destruction.

"Destruction?" Luer exclaimed, "No, I haven't gone to Earth to investigate the truth yet." ”

The thought came to mind, and Lu Erteng sat up and called Star Airlines.

"Hello, Star Airlines is at your service."

"Excuse me, are there any other air routes to the vicinity of Earth, such as mining ships..."

"I'm sorry," replied Ilul in a cold, comical voice from the machine, "our travel route is no more than 10 light-years. Earth's connection channel has been closed after the star axis collapsed, sorry, goodbye! ”

"Hell!" Lull cursed, approached the interstellar map on the wall, pointed out the location of the Earth according to the directions taught by Minnie, and looked thoughtfully at the blue planet on the map.

It occurred to her that only the Holy Guards who had been selected to enter the space reconnaissance post would likely be sent to find the closing of the passage, and perhaps when the passage was repaired, she would be able to go to her parents. If you can pass this exam, it will take at least 4 years. Well, just 4 years! She took a deep breath, and in her misty eyes, she seemed to see her parents calling to her.

"I'm going to have to turn the star axis back on, no matter what the odds are!"

※※※

From the next day, every fine day, if someone passes by the reddish-brown forest, they will often see a petite figure, constantly moving and jumping between the treetops, the low gravity conditions of the Jiaxing ensure that every jump can get twice the result with half the effort, and the precise and free jumping skills have also become a basic skill before the Jiaxing children enter the outer space flight. And from time to time a boy exclaimed from under the tree:

"Ouch, my sister, you don't want to die! If you bounce so high, you'll get into trouble. ”

"Sister, it's getting dark, you haven't finished flying yet, I'm so hungry, let's go home."

"Sister, don't be so fast, I won't be able to catch up."
