The soundtrack car streaks across the forest, the sound of a sonic boom confined to the tracks, but the interior of the car is quiet and soothing, with natural acoustic sounds and soothing piano music. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Anne opened her eyes to the sound of the piano and sat up from the sleeper, and the girl stroked her long, somewhat disheveled hair and looked out the window.

In the distance, under the rising sun is a huge floating fortress, which is her transit station this time.

Turning on the floating projection, Anne confirmed that there was no problem with the route, tidied up in the room, changed her clothes, and looked in the mirror.

"It's really like," Anne muttered to the girl with a ponytail in the mirror, she hadn't used this dress for more than 10 years, but this time she came out, this dress was the most suitable, "I'm fine." Let's go, Ankers. ”

The suitcase on the side emitted a cute audio, stretched out a small mechanical arm to neatly put all Anne's things in the room into his stomach, and then stretched out a long little arm to pick up the small and empty garbage bag, and accelerated to follow Anne who was waiting at the door of the train box.

"Attention travelers, this is San Francisco, California, ......"

The suitcase tosses the garbage bag into the disposal bin, and at the sound of the AI, the girl steps off the audio train, tosses around the San Francisco station on the empty rail, and steps onto the rail car to Mendocino.

……

……

Mendocino, a large county north of San Francisco, is known for growing grapes and making wine, and is one of the most beautiful towns in the Americas to retire, a seaside town near the Pacific Ocean, and Anne came here to visit his father's most gracious martial artist.

Anne wondered why her father wanted to fight at all costs. She didn't believe that the kind and kind father could be a cruel and war-loving man, and she didn't believe that the father who was weak in gold and silver would fight to the death for money, so she wanted to know why her father was really fighting, what he was fighting in the machine for, and what he was fighting for.

The memory goes back to the scene of the on-campus fighting match of Peking Gong University, just after forcibly extricating the sonic fighter from the confinement cabin, Anne was about to force Edward out - Edward's alarm had been going off for more than 30 seconds, and when the hatch of the conformity cabin was opened, Anne heard Edward's low moaning.

"Revenge...... IJssel...... Adolf ......"

The vague whispers contained a daunting irritation and pitiful sadness, Anne was suddenly stunned, she couldn't continue to force Edward out, and the alarm began to stop from time to time, after a little hesitation, Anne still closed the hatch, looking at Edward's slightly pale face and the blonde hair growing on the side of his face, Anne didn't dare to face him for a while.

"The ambulance has arrived," the senior's voice came from behind him. Anne turned around and said in a somewhat out of tune, "I'll go with you." ”

After that, Anne contacted her mother and asked for the contact information of some of her father's friends, and after connecting with a few of her father's friends from the past, Anne finally asked where the person would retire. So, she came here herself, Mendocino, to find the mechanic she knew, who knew him best, and who knew him best.

His words, perhaps...... No, I must know my father's reason for fighting.

After the renovation of the "Environmental Purification Project", the sea has long since returned to its former tranquility and gentleness, and the sea breeze blows into the room with the salty sweetness of the seawater, which makes people feel comfortable. On the balcony, the old man sat in a wheelchair and watched the sunset, and the scene was indescribably quiet.

"Mr. Hank, your visitor has arrived." The nurse walked into the room with Anne, explained a few words to Anne, and left with a smile.

Anne looked around, there were various pictures hanging on one wall, a small bed was clean and tidy, a set of mechanic's construction toolboxes were spread out on a small table, as if some kind of construction was still being done, and the bookcase displayed the construction drawings and trophies of various robot fighting competitions, with the names of the winners written underneath......

Carl Reims...... Silver medal at the Americas competition," Anne whispered, stroking a silver trophy, "It's been a long time, you're here." ”

"I've got three of your father's trophies here, and the other two are one floor below," the old man said calmly, turning his wheelchair, and he smiled, "Anne Lance, it's still the same as it was back then." ”

"Mr. Hank, I dressed like this so that you would recognize me," Anne laughed, "after all these years, are you alright?" ”

"What's so bad?" The old man trembled and stood up from his wheelchair, and Anne hurriedly stepped forward to help, "I am hiding here alone, spending my old age quietly, no one is sought after, no one is harassed, and a little girl like you comes to see me...... You look at the sunset, it's beautiful, right? ”

"Hmm," Anne nodded slightly, her eyes already a little moist.

"Didn't you say you never wanted to see me again?" The old man walked into the room with Anne's support, squinted slightly, and said, "What made you change your mind?" Still coming to me? ”

"I ......," Anne paused to calm herself before continuing, "I want to know why my father worked so hard, why he fought, why he forced himself so hard. ”

"After all these years, you finally forgave him?" The old man smiled slightly, "So you forgive me by the way?" ”

"I don't blame you," Anne smiled with tears in her eyes, "but I can't forgive him." I'm here this time, just to see you, and then ...... Ask a little about him. ”

"Haha, I think you came to see me to ask a little about him, right?" The old man smiled unceremoniously, but his tone of voice became more and more gentle, "But thank you very much for coming to see me." You want to know about him, good, Carlta...... You'll laugh out loud when you know that. ”

Anne smiled silently, but sadness had inadvertently swept across her face and dripped to the ground.

"Don't be sad, Anne. We're always going to lose someone, it's out of our control," the wizened hand caressed the picture frames that had been polished by the cleaning robot, and the old man looked at the familiar faces inside, and finally stopped at the young man waving in front of a crimson body, "The important thing is to accept it, forgive those who have abandoned us, understand their suffering, understand their grief...... Don't let yourself sink all the time. ”

……

……

In the 90s of the last century (2290~2300 years), it was still the era when the second-generation fighting robots dominated the world, that is, the technology of the third-generation fighting robots had just taken shape, and most fighters could not afford it.

At that time, the spirit infusion technology was revealed, the fighter and the machine became one, the machine became their second body, and every move of the machine was also derived from the human spirit, there was no instinct system and self-learning system at that time, in order to perfectly control the robot, the fighter would set the pain to 100% feedback.

Yes, there was nothing at that time, there was no instinctive system that allowed the robot to balance itself and react instinctively, there was no self-learning system that allowed the robot to absorb combat experience on its own, there was no AI core, there was no death shield, there was only "soul tone".

It means to inject the soul of the fighter into the machine, and then prosper and lose.

So at that time, the fighters were also martial artists, so at that time, the fighters would also really die in the game.

In this era, many world-famous robot martial artists have emerged, such as the Red Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Nightcrawler, the Dome Eagle, the Black Knight, the Sun Walker, etc., and the name of the Dome Eagle, his name as a fighter - is Carl, Carl Lance.

Born in what was once a "war-damaged zone", a place that was more slum than a slum, he was exposed to soul harmony since he was a child, and was even accepted by anti-federal organizations as a fighter for a time.

Of course, any anti-Confederate organization will not live long, Carl Bell is imprisoned, and he is quickly released because he is too young, and at this moment, a rich man takes a fancy to his strength and recruits him to become a professional fighter trained by his company.

From then on, the eagle finally had a sky of his own, and the light was fully revealed.

Then, he finally gradually had his own life, his own love, his own life, and his own children.

"But Carl he knows that everything he has is through martial arts, fighting is his everything, maybe he doesn't like killing, maybe he doesn't love money, but he won't forget his roots," sitting on the bed, the old man smiled slightly, his eyes contained sad love, "From beginning to end, he was the child who shivered in the 'war damage zone', without the slightest sense of security, all happiness and all happiness seemed to be a dream, and he felt that if he didn't fight, he would lose everything." ”

The girl sobbed, "I never knew this...... Mom, she, she never told me......"

How much more could she know? Carl loved her so much that he wouldn't talk about the pain in his life, and I had the same experience as him, so I knew what he would think, and I knew why he thought that. The old man looked out on the balcony, and the night had fallen, and the stars were shining, just like the night sky of those years, "and he thought the same as my son...... Of course I do. ”

……

……

"Miss Nurse," Anne asked with red eyes as she followed the nurse on duty down the hallway of the nursing home, "Mr. Hank says he has a son?" How did I not know that he often came to visit him? ”

"Elementary school girl, Mr. Hank is right to say so, but after all, he is old, maybe his memory is already a little confused," because this nurse was also a student at Peking Gong University, so she quickly became familiar with Anne, "We can't find out that he has a son in the federal archives at all, and no one has come to see him for so many years, you are the first." ”

"But I think his logic is very clear, and he doesn't look like Alzheimer's at all......"

"But who would say that he is the father of the Red Emperor?" The nurse smiled, "Even if it's Jones, it's impossible, otherwise why didn't anyone come to see him, and the file is blank?" ”

Anne was silent, and the two finally reached the hall of the nursing home, but Anne suddenly stopped.

"Either I...... Stay here...... Stay with him for two days. ”
