Chapter 30: Preservation
Selinda looked at Nataya strangely and placed the painting in the girl's hands.
"Do you know what this is?"
"I've seen it in my dreams...
The painting that Nataya is holding at the moment depicts a praying mantis-like creature with only one forelimb.
"It's so similar...
The creature on this painting is exactly the same as the black mantis leader restored by his subconscious data. Just before coming here, Nataya was still fighting alongside it in the Consciousness Virtual Machine.
Maybe it's not the same, but the forelimbs and even the location of the broken leg are similar and terrifying.
"Maybe it just looks like ... I don't know where it belongs in my dreams... ”
Nataya put the painting back on the table and calmed down.
"It seems that your arrival is really a day in the dark...
Selinda glanced at Nataya meaningfully, leaned back against the couch, and continued her story.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"What are you suspecting? Do you have a ghost hidden in your house? ”
Bernie looked at the painting as he craned his neck and took a sip of his wine.
"You haven't thought of anything, why can't the design institute use energy equipment...
You always say you're the most powerful mechanic in the Federation... ”
Selinda sucked the straw in her mouth, sucking out all the juice that was left in the cup.
"Isn't it the essence of the stars, what's so rare...
Bernie put down the bottle and reached through the collar of his shirt with one hand and pulled out the pendant that hung around his neck.
"Are you going to give me the necklace you brought with you as a token of love? So cheap... ”
Serinda bit her lip and squinted at the gray-haired man in front of her.
"Since you told me a secret, I will also tell you a secret. You take it, put this on and feel it. ”
Bernie pulled out a simple brainwave sensor with his other hand, which is a common external aid for ordinary people who do not have overt mental powers.
Selinda curiously took the pendant and put a simple brainwave sensor on her right ear, placing the signal end on her temple. Bernie, on the other hand, took Selinda's hand holding the pendant and activated the sensor at the same time.
With the activation of the brainwave sensor, the pendant in Selinda's hand turned into a space and appeared into her consciousness, which was a white world.
"Could it be that this pendant is also a piece of star marrow! When did the star marrow become so worthless ... ”
"Yes, this is a piece of star marrow, but its energy was not much left when it was discovered, and it was just a fragment."
Bernie's consciousness also appeared in this white world.
"Let you see my ghosts"
As Bernie's hand waved in the air, glass-covered objects rose from the ground of the milky world.
About twenty of these covers rose to the ground, and these objects made the milky world seem even more expansive.
"Alberta, Nancy, Iniesta, Kuibo... What do these names mean? ”
Serinda looked curiously at the signs on each hood.
"They're all 'ghosts' in your mouth"
Bernie looked at Selinda and patted his hand on one of the covers, the name on which was written "Nesslot"
"This is Arnold's father, my colleague, Arnold was not born an orphan."
"Could it be ... You said that dozens of people have to be fed, that is, their orphans? ”
Selinda stroked the seemingly brittle transparent shell, which contained a spiral-like air mass like a dark cloud, but it had no rotational displacement at all, and floated almost stationary in the middle of the hood.
"yes, it's good that most of them still have their mothers, except for Arnold. Nesslot is gone, he can only be sent to an orphanage"
Bernie didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, he turned his back and took a few steps in the direction of the pile of transparent shells.
"Actually, I left the Central Federation Armored Academy, and you see that they who stayed here once executed a top-secret plan with me, and that plan had a nonsense name, called 'Hope'...
