On the western outskirts of Pangea City, the planet Andromeda, Robb, a Lieutenant Colonel of the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr who returned from an expedition in the territory of the New Roman Empire, wore a white 'colored' military uniform and held a large bouquet of golden 'colored' tulips in his hand, walking on the cement path of the refugee camp. 1(6) K Small Says àp.1(6)0m text version debuted

The refugee camp for the general defectors from the Imperial side is known as the "black zone", where the management is 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', the facilities are old, and the law and order are 'chaotic'. However, in the embrace of Andromeda like 'spring' all year round, the chaotic wild 'flowers' in the camp also present a beautiful scene of thousands of purples and reds.

Luo Bo came to visit Chen Weiyin at the request of his mother Luo Zhaobing, and also in accordance with his own wishes. He hoped that this beautiful, smart, brave and strong girl could live a smooth life in this corner of the dragon and snake.

According to her mother, Luo Zhaobing, after being kicked out of the federal government's guest house, Chen Weiyin was invited by the Federal Red Cross to work at the refugee camp children's service center to help the Red Cross educate the refugee children who did not have federal citizenship. In reality, she is working as a nanny and a teacher because of the lack of care for the children, some of whom are orphans who have lost their parents, or whose parents have been forced to leave them to work on a distant frontier planet in order to obtain federal citizenship.

In the distance, Robb could hear the sound of a piano coming from the children's center. Although the sound quality is not perfect, the accompaniment is short and fast, and the bright lead is very lively, so that the listener can vividly feel the player's nimble fingers beating happily on the keys.

Robb soon heard that it was Bach's Prelude in E key. So he didn't rush in, but stood outside the big 'door' and listened intently.

The player seems to be doing a practicing, repeating the play over and over again. However, the tempo of the music became faster and faster, so fast that it produced 'chaos' and 'chaos', which also made the listener feel noisy. It wasn't until the lead and accompaniment gradually 'mixed' that the sound stopped. Robb then knocked on the 'door' and walked in.

The hall was empty except for Chen Weiyin, who was sitting in front of a dilapidated piano.

Robb respectfully presented the large bouquet of tulips in his arms, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Dedicated to Dr. Chen's 'fine' performance." ”

"Thank you." Chen Weiyin said coldly, but still stood up and took the fresh 'flower'. Now she was not as wary and hostile to Robb as she used to be.

"I didn't expect your piano skills to be so superb, it's really admirable." Robb exclaimed.

"It's not a difficult prelude to play, I'm just tinkering with it." Chen Weiyin said modestly, "I'm going to play for the children tonight, so I'll practice here." ”

"Bach's music doesn't seem to be difficult, but it's rare to see someone like you who plays your mood." Robb's words are half praise and half criticism. Because Chen Weiyin indulged his emotions when he repeated the song, turning the originally cheerful tune into a messy 'messy' emotional catharsis.

"Music is what makes you feel emotional." Chen Weiyin sighed and said, "If you don't have a good mood, you can't play good tunes." ”

"Then you don't want to play Bach, you can play Chopin." Robb advises, "Chopin's music is always full of tragedy. ”

"Actually, my favorite is Liszt." Chen Weiyin said as she put the tulip 'flower' bouquet on the piano lid, sat down again, stretched out her slender ten fingers, and placed them on the keys. Then she lowered her face and said to Robb, who was standing next to the piano, "I don't have anything to entertain you, so I'll play you a tune for tea, and you can order whatever you want." ”

Looking at her tone, it seems as if all the music has been condensed on her fingers. Robb couldn't help laughing: "Heh, you said that you like Liszt the most, but I like Schubert the most, how about you play a song "Music and Time", how about it?" ”

Chen Weiyin didn't reply, and pressed the piano keys without preparation. The medium-tempo and humorous "Time of Joy" has become more soothing and elegant under Chen's hands. The empty hall was also peaceful in the music, and the air seemed to become spiritual.

In just over three minutes, Robb, as an audience, was fascinated. At the end of the song, he said meaningfully, "How about another one?" ”

Chen Weiyin still didn't speak, and played again. Robb could hear that this time it was finally Liszt's, "The Dream of Love". Gentle bass, beating highs, and gorgeous chords all converge into a beautiful melody. Chen brings out the beauty of his technique and the melodic beauty of his music to the fullest.

The only fly in the ointment is that the piano is not well maintained, and the sound quality is damaged, which makes the rapid and powerful bass of the high "tide" part of the music very hoarse.

At the end of the piece, Chen Weiyin immediately pressed the keys to cover it vigorously, making the old piano make a "pop" sound, shattering the quiet and peaceful artistic conception set off by the gentle and tactful ending of the piece.

This action made Robb strongly feel the anguish in the other party's heart and the despair that erupted. He hurriedly said, "My mother asked me to come to see you, and said that if you have any difficulties, you can ask her for help." ”

Chen Weiyin looked at Robb expressionlessly and said, "Thank you for me." ”

"I will." Robb nodded, then asked, "Are you doing well here?" ”

Chen Weiyin didn't answer immediately, stood up, took the tulip 'flower' bouquet from the piano lid, walked to the corner of the hall, and 'inserted' the 'flower' bouquet into the bottle. Only then did he say fiercely: "Thanks to you, I have a new life here." ”

Robb knew that he was resenting her for himself. If he hadn't taken action against Chen Weiyin and their New Roman Empire scientific expedition team on the interstellar planet "Yi", it would not have caused Chen to be in such an embarrassing situation today. So, Robb did not respond immediately to her words, but sat down in front of the piano and lifted the key cover.

Chen Weiyin turned around and silently stared at Robb in front of the piano. Her situation today can be said to be caused by the man in front of her.

Robb looked at Chen Weiyin. She wore a white 'colored' dress, showing off her well-proportioned and graceful figure. Her hair falls naturally down to her shoulders, framing her round face even more beautifully. The afternoon sun shines through the window and shines on her, reflecting a dazzling light that shines brightly in the slightly old hall.

The sound of the piano suddenly sounded, bursting into angry and powerful chords. Robb played the first movement of Destiny.

He has very conflicting feelings for Chen Weiyin in his heart.

The angel-like girl in front of him made his heart move, but at the same time, he had a strong sense of guilt. But in addition, he also understands that it is not all his responsibility to cause Chen Weiyin's current situation. He was a soldier of the Bundeswehr, and he had no choice and no reason not to seize the opportunity to create victory. And this obligation has caused Chen Weiyin's predicament today. Luo Bo knew very well that his behavior was not completely controllable by himself, and this behavior also seriously affected Chen Weiyin.

In his eyes, this is fate. Chen Weiyin could not anticipate and could not change the fact that he had become a prisoner of the federal army, and he Robb had no reason not to capture the scientists of the New Roman Empire, including Chen Weiyin. Everyone is always unable to escape the intentional or unintentional influence of others on themselves, and this influence is often unpredictable and beyond their own control. This is the nature of fate. Robb sees both himself and Chen Weiyin as people who have been caught up in the whirlpool of fate.

If he was not Su Yu's son, he did not bear the sacred historical responsibility and deep hatred, but was an ordinary federal soldier, he would not have to find a way to sneak attack the scientists of the new Roman Empire who landed on the planet "Yi" in order to establish miraculous achievements, and he would not have let the beautiful Viin fall into a foreign land. But all this is not something he can change and discard.

His identity, status, and mission have allowed him to inadvertently influence and change many people. He has become the god of other people's fate, and he has crushed other people's lives, ideals, and even lives in the grinding machine of war.

As the music progressed, the dilapidated piano seemed to be unable to withstand the power of Robb's fingertips, and was constantly forced to let out a hoarse roar.

Chen Weiyin didn't expect that Robb, who seemed to be arrogant and reckless, could play a difficult piece like "Destiny" on the piano, and skillfully vented his emotions in the music. She stood in the corner of the sun-drenched hall, quietly listening to the other person's outburst of ego.

The surging music carried her off the ground and into the vast and lonely space. Countless stars are 'shooting' brilliant light, and the ships heading for the new world are 'shooting' countless rays of light, 'intermingling' into a dazzling net of fire, illuminating the battleships painted with double-headed eagles and olive branches surrounding the five-pointed star insignia, bursting out with colorful 'color' flashes. Mother's son, wife's husband, and child's father shattered in the flickering firelight, turning into ethereal stardust.

In the name of the sacred but nihilistic, humanity has practiced the creed of slaughtering one kind for thousands of years. Human beings are unique beings in the universe, with great intellectual powers, and also have a shadow called "war". Countless people are crazy about this shadow and collapse for this shadow. The struggle against the shadow is the salvation of the self-soul, but this redemption often leads to more complete hysteria.

The music pushes to a high 'tide', and the broken piano roars like a bruised beast. Robb poured out his dissatisfaction, resentment, helplessness, and despair on the black-and-white keyboard. The scene of his father Su Yu's dying struggle when he was assassinated, Chen Weiyin's angry glaring and reprimand on the "Zhiyuan", and his subordinate Scati? Tiasi's murderous expression in the massacre of the captives, and the 'insidious' face of the boss's rebellion...... It's all right in front of you.

The melody of "Destiny", which is repeatedly advanced and sublimated, becomes more and more 'intense' like a whirlpool, until it drags Robb's whole person into the dark depths of the universe. He felt his body accompanied by the gorgeous and powerful music, in the 'intertwined' dead light, on the distorted black and white keyboard, countless lights erupted, and finally as the music ended, it turned into stardust and disappeared.

After playing, Robb sat motionless in front of the piano, staring at Chen Weiyin, who was standing in the corner in front of him.

The song "Destiny" made Chen Weiyin see Robb's inner struggle. But she didn't speak, just stood still, looking at Robb behind the piano with a look of expectation. The man in the ivory-white boat-shaped hat was looking at him with the same gaze.

After a long time, Rob closed the keyboard cover, stood up, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I think it's time for me to go." ”

Then, he saluted Chen Weiyin with a military salute, and as if he was in the army, he turned around with a movement that matched the level of a pacesetter, strode towards the big 'gate', and walked out of the hall of the children's service center.

Seeing Robb leave, Chen Weiyin didn't say anything. The resentment towards Robb seems to have faded, and the unhappiness and resentment in his heart seem to have begun to shatter in the warm but tragic music of the other party. She walked over to the piano, sat down again, and lifted the keyboard lid.

Robb, who walked out of the service center, did not stabilize his mood. But he soon heard the cheerful melody of the "Prelude in E Tune" behind him, and the 'intense' emotions caused by "Destiny" in his heart also calmed down. The empathetic performer combines the tenderness and grace of "woman" and "sex" into the music, so that the beating music is full of gentle outpouring and soothes the fiery heart.

Robb felt very happy, no matter what time he had with Chen Weiyin, it didn't seem to matter anymore, because he had built a bridge to be able to communicate well with the other party. I really have to thank my father for forcing me to learn piano back then, otherwise I may never be able to untie the knot with Chen Weiyin.

But Robb didn't have much time to reminisce about the joy of 'communicating' with Chen Weiyin through music, and before he could leave the camp, the Fourth Fleet Command sent a message asking him to rush to the Ministry of Defense to attend the meeting immediately.

Located at the foot of the Giallar Mountain (also known as the Horn Mountains) on the northern outskirts of Pangea, the office building of the Ministry of Defense of the Perseus Interstellar Federation is a large-scale star city, and a real "star city", just like the "Square Hole Star City" of the new Byzantine planet New Rome. Because its appearance is in the shape of a star, the five rays of light that shoot out downward are supported on the ground, so that the entire main body of the building is set up in the air. The building department is all made of the same intelligent glass as the square hole star city, which looks like a shining and huge star from a distance.

Its official name is the "Immortals Interstellar Federation Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defence Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Office Center". But because it was inaugurated more than 100 years ago, the then president Sun Bowen gave it the nickname "Sirius", an ancient Chinese symbol of war, called the "Sirius Building". Since then, it has been like the "Pentagon" that was famous on Earth in the mid-to-late 20th century, and it is known as the "Sirius Building" in the Perseus Spiral Arm Interstellar.

With the help of the high-speed maglev elevator, Robb quickly arrived at the comprehensive operations conference room at the core of the building. At this time, he realized that most of the participants were generals, and only a few wore the epaulettes of the colonels like him. The entire Fourth Fleet except Gerald, who took over as commander? Major General Hancock, he was the only one who participated.

The meeting was personally chaired by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Defence Forces, General Lepnin.

He opened the door and said to the Bundeswehr's elites: "The Thirteenth Fleet and the science and education team on the interstellar planet 'Yi' have mysteriously disappeared, and the President has canceled the 'Argo Expedition' and asked us to make every effort to prepare for the search of the 'Yi' star field. But our army will be under heavy pressure from two fronts at the same time, one is the known New Roman Imperial Army, and the other is the mysterious force that caused the disappearance of the Thirteenth Fleet and the expedition. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused a surprised response from the generals in the audience. Mystical powers? For many people, it's unthinkable.

Robb, however, was not surprised. During the battle in June, he and the interstellar marines of the "Zhiyuan", as well as Dr. Chen Weiyin, Ulf ? Professor Bernstein was attacked by strange creatures on the planet "Yi". Although he finally successfully repelled the small-scale siege of the "Yi" alien with zero casualties and quickly withdrew from the interstellar planet, Robb still submitted a detailed report to the Ministry of Defense afterwards, including the images captured on multiple power armors.

The appearance of beast-like creatures on interstellar planets has little military value for the generals and staff officers in the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff who are focused on planning similar wars. Robb's report was forwarded to the Institute of Extraterrestrial Biology of the Federal Academy of Sciences. The Wisdom of the Academy of Sciences only saw the academic value of Robb's report, and listed these strange creatures as the key items of the expedition team that had disappeared with the Thirteenth Fleet.

Now, some of the generals who had read Robb's report had begun to suspect that the disappearance of the Thirteenth Fleet and the expedition was related to those monsters, and Robb himself even affirmed the connection.

The officers' surprised sighs soon calmed down.

Admiral Lepnin continued: "Therefore, on the one hand, we must send as many fleets as possible to the 'Yi' star field to deal with unknown creatures that may have great strength, search and rescue the Thirteenth Fleet and the scientific expedition team, and on the other hand, prevent the New Roman Imperial Army from taking the opportunity to attack the borders of the Federation. Before announcing the specific deployment of troops, we asked Ulf Ulf, a member of the Federal Academy of Sciences, to do so. Professor Bernstein explains the possible existence of intelligent beings on the interstellar planet Yi. ”

Rob was taken aback, he did not expect Bernstein, an academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, to replace the "Empire" in the title with "Commonwealth" so quickly. In fact, he did not know that Bernstein had long been a foreign member of the Federal Academy of Sciences, and that he had previously engaged in research in basic disciplines, and that he himself was regarded by the Senate and the Federal Government as "an academic 'exchange' scholar who did not interfere with the interests of the state." Now, however, Bernstein was fully in the service of the national interests of the Confederation, although on the face of it it did not appear to endanger the new Roman Empire.

Bernstein showed the monster images taken by his night vision equipment and the visible light images analyzed by the computer before he and Chen Weiyin were taken away from the "Yi" planet, and then recounted the process of their encounter with these monsters. As an enemy defector, in order to prove that his words were honest and credible, he pointed to Lieutenant Colonel Robb who was sitting in the back row and said loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel Robb here led his soldiers to fire at those monsters and led us away. He can confirm that my words are credible. ”

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on Robb. Robb had no choice but to stand up politely and salute everyone before sitting down again.
