Late at night, there will always be people planning all kinds of illegal and criminal things. In the middle of the night in the city of Fiplos, the people of this city bound by money, power, and fame.

People want to climb to that top and become an existence that is admired by all people. And when there is a conflict of mutual interests, it is not simple verbal violence, even if it is armed violence, but it is not the kind of group fighting of street gangsters in some countries.

The fact that both sides dare to commit crimes in this country with a high degree of rule of law also shows that both sides have prepared countermeasures and dealt with bloodshed in advance.

They only believe in one sentence: "If your words don't solve the problem, then try to use force." ”

This can be said to be an armed fight between groups, and sometimes even the presence of the police cannot be stopped temporarily, because the armed clash between the two sides is not a simple matter of a few knives and a few guns.

Sometimes motorized infantry will be there, and in exaggerated cases, even helicopter gunships and military armored vehicles will come to fight.

The meeting between the two major organizations in these circumstances is no longer a negotiation, but a meeting is a fight.

Bombardment, bullet crash, screams. It's filled with gunsmoke that fills the entire waterfront neighborhood. All that was left was the ruins of machinery and human corpses, and the scavengers came to clean them up.

Scavengers are actually policemen, because they have encountered too many such cases in this year, more than in previous years, and every time they have to clean up the ruins of the battlefield, but they can't catch the criminals, so they laugh at themselves as scavengers, and sometimes they say that they are vultures.

In the middle of the night, such a large-scale riot and armed fire incident naturally cannot be in the news, so the government has implemented traffic and information control.

But there are witnesses every time, so for a while, all kinds of gossip flew sideways, and even made people panic.

"According to the information given by the 'Laps' quantum computer, the incident that occurred last night in the Philippos seaside neighborhood was caused by the grassroots personnel of GS Company and the remnants of the martyrs, of course, the battle situation is one-sided, do I still have a video to show you?" Haight chats with Cocheng in encrypted messaging.

And there is no good place to go in the city, so you can only stay in your room and communicate.

"The Society of Martyrs beat up GS, and when I first fought with them, I found out that their motorized infantry is not an ordinary model of the current military."

"You're right, Section E wants you to investigate this case and find and destroy the Martyrs' branch in Fipolos." Haidt began to give orders.

"Understood."

The two sisters Cofifei and Coloying went to school first, and Co Cheng originally planned to stay at home, but thinking of the incident in the early morning, he planned to go to the scene to see.

The police still handled the last incident with traffic control and blockade information. Coe walked straight to it until he was stopped at a distance from the scene of the crime.

"I'm sorry, but there is a traffic restriction here, and the public cannot pass through for the time being, please understand." A police officer speaks standard industry jargon.

"Then can this certificate let me in?" "I'm the temporary special commissioner for Fipoulos, and I can help you investigate the case here. ”

"Well, then Commissioner, please come in." The policeman suddenly had some stage fright.

Kecheng didn't wear his father's shabby E-branch combat uniform this time, he traveled in casual clothes this time.

He walked for a while to arrive at the scene, where the police were still scanning and identifying, moving bodies and cleaning up waste.

"It's really a one-sided situation." But the martyrs also paid the price, losing ten of their motorized infantry.

Police model of motorized infantry - War Rider. A total of thirty Warrior Riders were clearing the area of debris, all controlled by the Phipolos Police Station's terminals.

Of course, you can also search and judge by yourself, but the flaw is that you can't figure out people's hearts, and they can easily be destroyed by fixed routines. To this end, Fipoulos has been calling for papers that can solve this problem for two years.

It wasn't until Professor Pullin came along that progress was finally made. That is, the new model of the Warrior Rider HW. There will be a lot of space.

"Why on earth did GS clash with the Martyrs?" Kecheng opened a newsletter on the top floor of a teaching building at Phipolos First University, "Could it have something to do with that, Phipoulos can be said to have a monopoly on this industry." ”

"You mean the 'titanium APH' material necessary for the production of E-carbon 02 alloy?" Haight replied subconsciously, but he suddenly understood and immediately replied, "I'll show you a piece of information." ”

"Titanium APH is an isotope found in deep perovskite, and it is only useful to extract titanium APH with a purity of more than 70%, but titanium APH with a purity of more than 90% can be used to make a lot of things.

However, it is technically difficult to extract such a high purity titanium APH, and the price is very high, except for Fiplos, which can extract titanium APH at a lower price, there are only a small amount of titanium APH with a purity of more than 90 in the CARN company of the Republic of East Asia and the Hi-Tech Heavy Industries ZEEK company of Pacific Union Japan.

In AD2140, the Republic of East Asia was willing to buy part of the technology for extracting titanium APH with a purity of more than 90% at a price of 200 million yuan, but Fipolos refused, but CARN still spent 200 million yuan to buy a small amount of titanium APH with a purity of 90%.

There are many companies that have mastered the extraction of high-concentration titanium APH, and the more influential ones are GS company, KH company, as well as NV and MTA.

Fipulos law prohibits the sale of titanium APH without a license, while the transfer of APH extraction technology is classified as serious treason. ”

Kecheng read it word for word, including the illustrations.

"The grassroots employees of GS wanted to smuggle titanium APH to the remnants of the Martyrs' Association, but there was a conflict in the price negotiation, so there was a riot in the early hours of this morning." Cocheng patrolled the nearby equipment floating on the beach, "Maybe the motorized infantry of the Martyrs' Association was also smuggled by them, so we can only make these hypothetical judgments at this time. ”

"Kecheng, be careful when you investigate, although E-Branch allows you to be in Fipolos for the time being, don't forget that you must be able to leave at any time when you are needed." Haight kept a little bit of the information given by Kecheng, and then stretched his waist and ran to rest.

Corcheng returned to the shore and went straight into the sea, looking for a more complete set of motorized infantry for the martyrs, which had been glowing with reflection until now.

With all his might, he lifted the motorized infantryman, whose left arm had been broken, and dragged it to the shore with little care.

Kecheng carefully took pictures first and then took a good look. He handed over the abandoned motorized infantry to the war riders to dispose of.

At this time, he was looking at the photos he had taken, and he didn't come up with anything for a long time, until he noticed a small mark on the neck of this martyr-transformed motorized infantryman.

"The crimes committed by your E-Section will be punished by our new Society of Martyrs! Come on, 'Eroders' motorized infantry! Ke Cheng's mind recalled the time when the Tianhe-2 power group room, even the latest "Kraken" armor could not guarantee to suppress the "Eroder", and at that time he felt that something was wrong, and his mobility even surpassed twice that of the military motorized infantry!

Kecheng enlarged the picture, and finally sighed with relief: "If it is the motorized infantry of the GS company, it will not reach that level, but the thruster is the latest version of the GS company."

"What are you thinking?" Suddenly, a person hugged Kecheng directly from behind, he instinctively wanted to fight back, but when he heard the sound, he immediately stopped.

"Luo Ying, don't you have to go to school today?" Cocheng had already guessed who it was and turned to look at the young girl.

Kolo Ying was almost a head shorter than Kecheng, her face was a little flushed, and she seemed to be a little nervous and replied, "Today is a holiday, and the day after tomorrow will officially start school." ”

"Brother?"

"Yes." Kecheng stared at her, sweating on the back of his neck.

"Let's talk, just for a moment."

"Okay."

Kecheng was pulled into the living room by her, and the two of them sat on the sofa, but they were almost two meters apart.

In fact, their brother and sister have seen each other less for more than ten years, and they have even less communication. When Kloying knew from her sister that Cocheng was going to settle in Fipolos for a long time, she thought a lot in her heart, as if she wanted to say something to her brother, who had not really communicated with her for a long time.

Half a year ago, Beihua City, East Asian Republic.

"Xiaoying, guess who's back?" Su Qinyao helped her carry some of her luggage into the house.

When Chlo Shadow first walked into the hall, he saw a man with an expressionless face and a gray-black military coat, smoking a cigarette but keeping his head down.

Until Su Qinyao shouted: "Kecheng!" Your sister is back, come and say hello. ”

Two people are facing each other, one full of vitality and the other face like ashes.

"Hello."

That's all they said, and then they went back to their bedrooms.

At that time, Kolo's impression of him was more like a decadent person like a failed smoker.

And Kecheng obviously has a lot to say in his heart, but for various reasons, he can't open his mouth.

Kecheng's second sentence was to have dinner together in the evening when his sister returned.

"Xiaocheng, can you go and wash it before eating again, it smells of wine and smoke." Kofifi said with a tone of reproach and helplessness.

Kecheng didn't answer at first at that time, until the family finished dinner, this process was all Su Qinyao and the two sisters chatting happily, only Su Qinyao would occasionally talk about Kecheng, but he was absent-minded.

All Cocheng said to them before he went to wash the dishes was, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

After that, he went back to his bedroom and basically had no sleep all night. Two days later, he left home, one day he went to the cemetery to see his dead father, the next day he went to the place where his father had had an accident, and on the third day he left quietly in the early hours of the morning, leaving only a short note.

It reads, "Don't worry about me, thank you." ”

Su Qinyao lost her temper that day and was about to cry, but fortunately, there were two sisters, Kefeifei and Koloying, who stabilized her mother's emotions.

That day, Su Qinyao kept muttering: "Go and get him back, he has been afraid of loneliness since he was a child!"

Obviously, Su Qinyao knew that Kecheng was an SLM carrier.

Kofifi was also greatly affected that day, and he kept blaming himself for his bad attitude towards Ko Cheng that made him angry.

Only Kolo is completely unaware of the existence of Colecity.

After the holiday in those days, Su Qinyao told their sisters that they couldn't mention their father's affairs to him when they saw Kecheng again.

Chloying was recalling the unforgettable event at this time, and after struggling for a long time, she finally spoke: "Sister didn't mean it that evening."

"I know, you don't have to care about me, I'm willing to bear everything." Cove City seems to be very honest.

"I'm sorry."

"You...... Don't cry. Kecheng finally realized the lethality of what his colleagues called "women's tears".

At this time, the door just opened, and Kofifei came in to watch the scene.

Cocheng placed the tissue in Koloying's hand and sat down in his place.

"Small Town ......" Kofifi had tears in her eyes, and she seemed to have guessed something.

Kecheng stood up and turned his head, his eyes were flat and he didn't say a word, and walked up to the balcony on the second floor alone. He didn't want to explain, and he didn't want to face this embarrassing scene again.

"Luo Ying, your brother's business is none of your business, you don't have to talk to him about this." Kofifi's face was expressionless, and she hugged Luo Ying tightly and let her lean on her shoulder.

"Sister, this is not fair to my brother, we have always been too selfish, including my mother!" She finally burst into tears.

At the age of twelve, he began a dark two years in which no one could talk to him and he was sent to a psychiatric hospital.

When Kofifi was just in high school, Kofi ran away from home. Su Qinyao also searched for the entire Beihua City for this purpose, and when she finally found nothing, her body could not support it and she was admitted to a sanatorium.

It was four years before Kofi came to Fipoulos to go to college, and he didn't know that Kofi had ever returned home. After that, I came once a year, and my mother gradually recovered her spirit and her weak body recovered.

Since then, Su Qinyao has given an order to the sisters: "When Kecheng comes back, you must come back no matter where you are!"

Su Qinyao also often observed him, and every time he came back, he only said a word or two to his family and was silent. It seems that the shield is left open, and he is not very interested in everything that is happening around him.

At the beginning of Kofifi's graduation ceremony in Fiplos, only the family invited by Kofi did not come, so Kofifi's impression of him was a notch, but until that incident happened, she began to sympathize with Ko Cheng.

Kecheng never smoked or drank at first, until he came back five years ago, and he was completely like a person, just silent before, and now he has become a crazy drunkard.

He stumbled into the house, bottle in hand. At that time, Kefeifei came back to see Su Qinyao during a rare vacation, but he didn't expect to meet Kecheng and come back.

Kecheng was an alcoholic, Kefeifei didn't dare to imagine that the silent teenager she had seen before would become like this, she didn't hate the smell of alcohol very much, but she hated the state of people after drinking.

Kefeifei thought that Su Qinyao's reprimand was indispensable, but what he didn't expect was that Su Qinyao didn't say anything at that time, just helped him to the bedroom to rest, and only said to Kefeifei when he came out: "Understand him more, the things that Xiaocheng was affected by his father are not so easy to forget."

"Mom! It's been almost 10 years, can you tolerate him turning into a piece of waste! Kofifi was a little angry.

Su Qinyao didn't refute, just urged her to do her own thing. Kofifi couldn't understand why his mother wasn't a little angry, "Mother didn't expect anything from him, was she really disappointed......

Kofifi decided to change that.

Unexpectedly, in the past five years, every time Kecheng came back, he even learned to smoke even harder. Each of Kofifi's reprimands to him seemed to have no effect at all, and the silent Cofi was as arbitrary as ever.

What really changed Kofifi's attitude towards Copea was the incident six months ago, before Coop left in the early hours of the morning.

00:30 a.m

"Are you going to leave again, mother will be very sad." Kofifi looked at Cofi from the door of his bedroom to Co Cheng, who was packing up in the living room.

"......" Kecheng prepared his luggage, opened the doorknob and turned around to smile at her for the first time and said, "Sister, say goodbye to my sister and mother for me, and let them not worry."

With that, he closed the door.

She didn't say a word of what Kecheng asked her to say. But she could see the sadness and helplessness on the boy's smiling face.

22:30 p.m

"You shouldn't have said this alone to Luo Ying." Kofifei didn't know when he appeared on the balcony on the second floor, right next to Kecheng.

"I'm sorry to worry you again." Cocheng leaned over to her.

Kofifi wanted to walk over and slap him hard, but she thought about it.

She walked away, intending to go back to rest, leaving Kecheng alone on the balcony to blow the wind.

Kecheng thought about it and finally decided.

The man went downstairs, went to the room on the left, and knocked softly on the door. This is Chlo's room.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Koloying's lazy voice, she dragged a long voice over to open the door, until she saw that it was Kecheng who knocked on the door, and she was completely stunned.

"Luo Ying, do you have time, can you listen to me?" Kecheng asked in a cautious and tentative tone.

The girl crossed her hands behind her back, she was wearing a nightdress, obviously ready to rest.

"I'm so sorry for being so indifferent to you for so many years." Kecheng is very solemn.

I couldn't help but make the girl laugh, but with tears in her eyes, she walked up to the man and gently hugged him, stroked Kecheng's scarred back with her hand, and then nodded her toes and blushed and whispered in his ear, "Forgive me."

At this time, Kofifei was on the second floor, but she could see it clearly, she didn't call them, and went back to the bedroom. sighed in her heart, she had never seen Kecheng's gentle side to people, and seemed to want to say: "The probability of Kecheng laughing once is 1/100, and the probability of the gentle side appearing is 1/10000."

At this time, Kefeifei should feel happy: "He actually takes care of people in a small town, but he has been pretending to be stupid?" What are you hiding?"

But she didn't want to know that all Kofifi wanted was for the city to stay the way it was.

The next morning, the living room newsletter left a message. But this time there was no worry, it said, "I'll go to Fipolos First University." ”

If it's "don't worry, I'll take care of myself" again. In this case, Kofifei would have thought that what he saw last night was a hallucination.

Kecheng didn't know much about Phipolos First University, although it was the original Hualang College, but he didn't know much about the old college, let alone what it looked like after the expansion now.

At the moment, he is just wandering around the school, and since the school year will officially start the day after this day, there are many students who come here today to settle their luggage and find a place to live.

Kecheng instinctively and casually observed the behavior and dress of the students. That is until a girl wearing a blue and white top and sweatpants, waist-length hair with a shawl, and a blue tourist-like hat appears in front of him.

"Is it her who Tianhe-2 met?!" Cocheng was a little suspicious of his eyes, and in order to make sure he was going to follow and take a look.

Xiyu Fürth was dragging her suitcase, and she was complaining to a friend on an electronic board: "How did I know this school would be so big, and I'll talk to you when I find my dorm."

She had just turned off the com, and she didn't know if it was a delusion or if it always felt like someone was watching her. So she stopped, and suddenly turned around to see the oncoming science city.

"You, why are you here!" Xiyu felt that she had seen a hell, and after her failed operation, she was teased by her companions for a long time. At that time, he also said: "When I meet him, I will definitely beat him up!"

Kecheng didn't react at all, and seemed to be thinking about his next action after his conjecture was correct.

"yes, what a coincidence."
