The high-top boots stepped on the steel staircase, making a 'bang bang' sound, and then the owner of the boots jumped lightly, jumped straight from the high platform, and walked towards the exit of the passage.

The short hair dyed light purple, the hands in the pockets of the jacket, and the denim shorts on the lower body all showed the girl's more youthful and rebellious style, and when she passed by a store, she paused for a few seconds, looked at herself in the glass mirror, and then continued on.

As you walk along the road, there are more shops on both sides of the street, lights and signboards of various colors, and the ground is also colorful, among which people enter and exit from time to time, and the sound of pedestrians talking and laughing can occasionally be heard on the street.

"Buzz—" The personal terminal in her pocket vibrated and told the girl to pull it out and answer it.

"Well, I know, I'll be there soon, what about you, are you all here?"

……

"Okay, hang up first." After that, she put down her personal terminal and looked at a tall building in the distance, where there was a bright sign 'Diamond Grape Hotel'

That's it, the girl walked in that direction, and soon disappeared into the sea of people.

14th floor, 1 room.

Colorful lights swirled, and about 30 people gathered here, some sitting at the table, some standing on the windowsill chatting, and some wandering around with wine glasses.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and the girl with short light purple hair walked in, attracting the attention of several people who had been sitting in the corner waiting for a long time.

"Clara, this way~"

They waved to each other, then walked over, sat down together, and quickly chatted about the changes and things that had happened in the past few years.

"Most of the junior high school students came, with a few exceptions." There are people counting them.

"Which ones?" The girl next to her asked curiously.

"Heshia didn't come, Lina shouldn't dare to come, Jones has recently participated in special training to prepare for the military academy, and the other two are also in trouble."

"Hesia's current reputation and status, I definitely won't come to participate, I really regret it in retrospect, if I had a good relationship with her back then, maybe I would have soared today." Someone said with regret.

"Ah, no, I often dream about regretting it, alas." Someone chimed in, to which Clara sat aside and played with her personal terminal, still not speaking.

"By the way, Clara, you're not Hesia's elementary school classmate, and she still keeps in touch with her old friends?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

Clara looked up, looked at the eager girl across from her, and said, "I don't know. ”

"Hey, how could you not know, ......" She wanted to ask something, but was quickly stopped by the others.

In this regard, Clara just shook her head slightly, and ignored it, if it weren't for the few junior high school classmates she had befriended, she would have been like Hesia, and would not have come to such a party.

In the final analysis, this kind of gathering does not have much nostalgia for the friendship of classmates, but more about wanting to see how the former classmates are now, to satisfy their anxiety and anxiety, if the relationship is really good, even if it is not a class reunion, they can get together to play.

I won't come next time, Clara decided in her heart, anyway, when she graduates next year, she is probably showing off against each other, who went to which good company, who was admitted to college, who arranged a career at home, etc.

Everyone chatted and chatted,The topic changed from Heshea, who is now at the peak of popularity in the star field, to the school park,And then to their current situation。

"I'm already in Sequence 3, and I expect to be in Sequence 4 by graduating next year." A boy proudly announced, which caused a wave of envy from everyone.

Among these people here now, the vast majority of them are still in Sequence 2, and a small number of them can enter Sequence 3 before graduating from the fourth grade next year, and as for those who can have Sequence 4 when they graduate, it is estimated that there will be 1-2 in the class.

In ordinary people, graduating from high school means joining the work, and most of the extraordinary strength will stay at the graduation stage, that is, around sequence 2, and a small number of people will be promoted to sequence 3 after a few years, but later, as they get older, they will gradually become detached from learning, and they will forget knowledge, etc., and it will be difficult to continue to move forward, so it will be frozen.

Truly gifted people have long been screened out in education, and if they have the strength of sequence 4 when they graduate, they can enter a large company as a backbone employee with the help of fresh graduates.

"Clara."

"Clara."

"What's wrong?" The girl came to her senses and turned her head to look at her companion.

"I just talked to you and never replied to me, are you in a daze?" She grabbed Clara's hand, then prepared to tickle with her other.

"Do you like Su Lun, just now he said that he could get to sequence 4 before graduation, and many girls are red-eyed." As she spoke, the girl whispered into Clara's ear.

"I'll tell you, don't tell others, in fact, since the beginning of this semester's vacation, Du Du has been close to Su Lun, always chatting in the group from time to time to talk about Su Lun, and then ask him about all kinds of life things, show concern, tsk, that look, we girls can't understand it."

"Du Du, this guy is stinky and beautiful, and he is terrible, I used to hate it, but when she and Lina got close, I didn't dare to mess with her, and now she is still like this, it's really annoying." Clara listened to her companion tell her about the many conflicts between girls, and then she realized that there were many doorways, and she used to be casual and chic in the past, and rarely paid attention to this, and it seemed that she had missed a lot of gossip.

"How about it, why don't we make a plan to help you chase Su Lun and try to suppress that guy Du Du."

"Su Lun has changed in the past few years, and he is indeed more handsome than in the past, if he enters a big company in the future, he will almost cross the class, no wonder Du Du is so active." Another companion also said encouragingly.

Clara didn't answer immediately, just opened a bottle of soda and took a sip first.

"Whew, this tastes pretty good." Clara commented.

"Help you with an idea, Clara, do you want to try chasing Suren, with your current figure, I don't think it's difficult to take him down."

"That is, if Su Lun is caught, it will be easy to marry and live in the future."

Hearing this, Clara shook her head, "Go after it yourself, I'm not interested." ”

The classmates who knew each other in the past now feel a little strange, as if they are separated by a barrier, and she can't laugh at her friends' worldly ideas, because this may indeed be a good choice for them.

But now, she has already jumped out of this mundane cage, although she is not extremely powerful and amazingly wealthy, but she does feel that there is nothing to restrain herself, she can go wherever she wants, and she can try whatever she wants, without any hesitation and confusion.

Picking up the soda, Clara walked to the window, first inhaled the refreshing cold air, then leaned against the windowsill and continued to drink the soda, occasionally looking back at the giggling crowd in the room, feeling that it would be much more refreshing and comfortable.

"That's life." She sighed softly, her voice drowned out in music and lights.

On the 10,000-mile altitude of the North Fifth District, a gray aircraft shuttled through the night sky, and the blue indicator light flashed and flashed, slowly crossing the sky.

Sitting by the window, Heshia was dressed in a gray and white dress, looking at the sweeping earth below, among which she occasionally encountered a city cluster dotted with sparks, which was very conspicuous, but most of the place, it was still pitch black, and it was difficult to see the face.

Put it in front of her personal terminal,Occasionally pop up one or two messages,Some of them are from Edest Academy,Some are from the gray dust crystal,Only one is an inquiry from Irene.。

Irene: [When will I be back, go out on vacation]

Hesia: [Probably mid-August, a bit busy lately]

Irene: [Okay]

Speaking of which, among the classmates when she was a child, Irene often contacted her, and other elementary school classmates, although they also spoke in the group, but everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb Hesia, after all, the identity gap is very large now, which makes Heshia a little helpless, and she does not have as much time as in the past.

Life is like a shooting star, many familiar things slowly turn into their backs and go away, and there is no turning back.

There are no lights in the cabin, only a small box on the table that faintly glows and faintly reflects the surroundings, and inside the box is the time number, indicating that it is night [21:27]

As Heshea leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to recall, several tiny dots of light rose from the pitch-black earth below, and then rapidly approached the shuttled aircraft.

The spots of light grew larger to make it clear that it was the tail flame from the jet vent, and then a rapid siren sounded inside the aircraft, and all the emergency lights were turned on.

[Warning, warning, unknown dangerous flying object approaching, please be prepared for stress]

[Warning, warning, unknown dangerous flying object - boom!]

A violent flash of light erupted in the night sky, followed by a shockwave of the explosion, the sturdy craft cracked, a wing snapped and fell, and smoke billowed from the torn gap.

Seeing that the aircraft was about to crash into the pitch-black earth, several blue laser rays swept across the night sky, dismembering the remnants of the aircraft, and a series of explosions also sounded in the night sky.

The flaming flames carried the wreckage towards the earth, illuminating the approaching ground, which was no man's land in the North 5, the ground was flat and barren, and there was hardly any place to hide and hide.

The dark red debris slammed into the ground, splattering large sparks and debris, and then continued to roll forward, leaving charred marks and long ravines before slowly stopping, the remaining firelight scattered across the ground, reflecting the surrounding wreckage.

In the firelight, a woman in blue uniform rushed out with Heshia in her arms, and soon after, several laser rays swept through the night sky, tearing apart the wreckage of the ground again, and the shining light briefly reflected the earth.

[Call for the survivors, hurry closer to me, and protect the singer Heshia]

The blue-clad woman carrying Heshia swam as she went, signaling as several surviving combatants rushed out of the rubble and moved closer to her.

The fighters accompanying these aircraft are wearing gray exoskeleton armor, which looks very strong and reliable, in fact, in the fall and explosion just now, as long as they are not directly swept by the laser ray, they can survive.

It seems that the personnel who have escaped from the ground have been observed, and several laser rays are shot out again in the night sky, but because of the distance and the continuous movement of several people on the ground, it is difficult to aim accurately.

After that, a blue frisbee flew up rapidly, and then bloomed in mid-air, forming a hemispherical blue dome that enveloped the people below, so that even if the laser rays were illuminated, they were blocked by the dome and could not penetrate.

The 'Sikne Defense System', the hallmark of the giant Siknet security provider, is well-known in the Federation, and even the laser rays of mechs are difficult to penetrate in a short time.

Seeing that it was safe for the time being, the woman in blue put Heshia on the ground and carefully examined the singer to see if she was injured.

"I'm fine." Heshia looked at the investigator who was groping around on her, and waved her hand quickly with some embarrassment, indicating that she was really good and there was no problem.

"Yes, your own strength is not bad."

Maybe it was because of concern, but the woman in blue also reacted, she let go of Heshia, and introduced herself against the light of the surging shield behind her.

"My name is Keotia, and I'm the patrol officer of the Singer's Supervision Office under the Inquisition, and I'm in charge of keeping you safe at the moment." After she finished speaking, she straightened up, and then pulled out the saber she was carrying, and the straight silver blade was infused with magic power, and a striking blue light blade appeared on the edge, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

This patrol officer wears the emblem of Cobalt Blue Star Tears, and the uniforms and equipment on her body all indicate that she is the backbone of the Inquisition, a follower of Amuralin's will, and her own strength is also at the top in Sequence 6, even in a sudden explosion, she can rush to Hesia's side and save her for protection.

"Thank you." Heshia bent down in thanks, her eyes blinking slightly, observing the patrol officer she had never seen before.

Heshia had known that there were Tribunal personnel stationed on the plane, and she had even been aware of the plainclothes that appeared in her life, but out of politeness, she usually did not break them, and this was the first time she had met the Tribunal's stalwart in person.

While the two were talking, a soldier in gray exoskeleton armor approached to report.

"Report to the patrol officer, a distress message has been sent, and support will be there soon."

"Good, now we just have to hold on." Keotia calmed down a bit, then looked back at the shield that was constantly being illuminated by the laser rays.

"With the strength of this defense system, it can probably last 3-5 minutes." She calculated, then pulled out a large palm frisbee from her waist.

"There's a spare one here." With that, she placed the frisbee in Heshia's hand.

"If the situation is critical, turn the knob in the middle of the frisbee and throw it out, and it will automatically form a defensive shield."

"Thanks, but maybe it's not that simple." The girl took the frisbee and pointed to the night sky behind the group, where several dark shadows were approaching, and the afterglow of the laser rays reflected their silhouettes.

With a heavy, sturdy body, gray-green mech shell, and right-angled outer contour armor, it looks like a hoplite.

The 'Lin Rhino-B1 type', once installed as a sixth-order military mecha, is known for its strong armor and fierce firepower, and is the main force of the frontal battlefield, which requires a sequence 6 pilot with strong physical quality to operate.

The six mechs swooped down and landed on the ground, splashing a large amount of dust and shaking the ground, and then the cold, swarthy ring-shaped barrels of the mechs unfurled under their arms and aimed them at the shield in front of them.

In an instant, the firelight lit up, and countless crimson hot enchanted bullets slammed into the shield through the night, and the high-speed rotating metal barrel was like an afterimage, and the sound of continuous firing was so dense that it was like a scream, and no interlude could be heard.

In just 8 seconds, tens of thousands of enchanted bullets poured on the shield, shattering it and bursting, and a torrent of crimson bullets swept through the open space inside the shield like a plow.

The red-hot ground was steaming, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and there was no longer a standing figure inside at the moment.

[Report, the target has been lost, and it is preliminarily determined to be eliminated]
