Leola resonated with Kabe with his usual indifferent induction field, and the latter also happened to turn his flexible blue eyes to gaze at the K-37 galaxy, which was only separated by a layer of glass from him, with a clear and curious expression.

Cabe knew that Leora had used "manipulation of the will" again, which was a very dangerous attrition. But he knew that Leora wasn't doing it for the sake of boasting.

Rather than a kind of stubbornness?

He immersed himself in his analysis. Majoring in applied behavior at university, Cabe developed the habit of exhausting the meaning behind everything. Until Leora's voice alarmed him.

"Cabe, in the next twenty-four hours, the navigation of the Wanderer will be handed over to you. I don't think there will be any surprises yet. It should be a situation where you can be comfortable alone. ”

Seeing that Leora wanted to leave, he hurriedly asked a long-standing question: "What is there to explore in this K-37 galaxy?" The entire galaxy is covered with radioactive fallout, and there must be no living life. What exactly are we going to do there? ”

Leora said lightly, "There is the origin of the Neferin supercluster, the Earth. ”

"But what, it's already a ruined star, you don't just want to visit its case, do you?"

Cabe's tone was slightly narrow, with an indescribable surprise.

Leora, however, was not going to be perfunctory: "You should know that we have taken such a long time to sail the goal, right? Perhaps, this planet, which once gave birth to primitive humans and was shattered by the foolishness and dreams of those who were conceived, can tell us something. In any case, I must find out why 'I' came into being. ”

"It's some kind of evolutionary out, Leora. We are born by chance, with the wonderful exception of organic life that changes to the extreme. ”

Cabe said without thinking, as if to persuade some stubborn artist to take a break.

"You might as well call it a mutation. The torrent of extradimensional beings is extremely boring, so he draws several endless parabolas. ”

Leora said coldly, disintegrating in an instant, leaving Cabe there flutes.

Cabe didn't understand why Leola was suddenly hesitant, but the scene of his inexplicable death was too familiar.

There is no antidote to such a state of mind, except that a long time ago, he set foot on the planet K'er. In the purple sunset, he saw Leola and heard him say, "Cabe, you and I are two fish, and outside the tank there is a colony of mayflies that are dying in the twilight." We feel gnashed our teeth at their comings and goings, and we feel admiration and hostility to the flow and rise and fall. Don't ask me how I know, the marks in your body echo me. ”

Cabe accepted Leora's words without reservation, and with a mixture of love and rejection, he was with Leora from then on.

Before he met Leora, Cabe was a cheerful and cheerful university lecturer whose friends loved bright straight blonde hair and a bright smile. No one was aware of his anomaly, not even he himself deliberately drove those undercurrents into the cracks of the unconscious.

is that pure ignorance and immaturity, so that he doesn't even understand that he is a time diver who sees through the end of time.

As every lifeform with a certain mortality date swayed before his eyes, he couldn't help but see the scythe lying across the opponent's throat, invisible and shadowless, crossing the three-dimensional laws of matter and attacking him without sealing his throat.

Every time, in the figure of intimacy or stranger, he was always fascinated by the cold and thin illusion of decay, and the corners of his eyes were hot, and his heart was broken to realize that there was never any superlife that was with him forever.

No one knows that Cabe, who is easy-going and gentle on the outside, is essentially a cynic with a critical temperament and a stern stance. He never showed true trust or respect, for he could easily see the pits and caves of others, especially a bright-eyed and bright-toothed child standing in front of his eyes, who could even read the process of decay of the organism that depended on the other person's teeth.

He could only comprehend this silent catastrophe until he met Leora, who was as harsh and clear as the snow crystal swan of Ice Field, and easier to scratch than the corners of lenses.

Leora made him hear how devastating the sound of the wind chimes was when they struck the glass, and that exiles like them, who dwelt inside and outside of time, had to become the players of time, not the boilers of their madness and confusion in the minds of countless minds.

Cabe believed everything Leora told him that he was his "kind".

But after Cabe's growing mental force field was clearly understood, he was not as close as he was to Leola before, 100% closer.

He struggled to figure out what was going on. Resistance that is more subtle than love gradually comes in. Finally he understands that Leora has a side that is completely "dark light", and he is united with Cabe; On the other hand, what disturbed him was the "white heat" that attracted Saphier.

In addition to these conflicting qualities that are in harmony with Leola, Cabe believes that he has a greater sense of tolerance—the transcendent indifference that comes from being too perfect. No matter how hard Leora tries, he will never be truly in tune with the source of any longing. Because he is excessively complete, he deprives him of the basic feelings of being used for lack and seeking perfection.

Will this cause pain? It's a question that often comes to Cabet's mind.

The computer reminded him that the first six hours had passed without incident, and that there were still two days, three hours, 29 minutes and eight seconds left before his destination, "Earth." Cabe found that he lacked the acumen he should have as a leader.

He was ashamed to think that academic research work would really cause living beings to lose their primitive instinct for vigilance. Except for the growing greed for knowledge, I don't see where the benefits are.

In eighteen hours, it was Michelle's turn to take over. Cabe sat comfortably and prepared to get through the time with his full attention.
