Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 78: Mr. Red, the Evil One (5000)

Red's words made Malu feel entangled. The vision just now was definitely true. Everyone on the bridge saw it. Moreover, Red's sudden rush into the wreckage of Junius VII was very strange.

So Malu asked directly
"Red, why don't you tell me first why you suddenly rushed into the wreckage of Junius VII. Also, were you the one who caused the green light just now?"

Red actually understood why Mari asked so carefully. As the captain, she certainly couldn't joke about the safety of her subordinates. What's more, Kira's friends would come out to collect water later, and they were not professional soldiers.

But there is no way to explain the matter of the new humans to Marlu in a few words, and even if Red tells the truth, it will most likely be regarded as nonsense.

So Red simply started to talk nonsense, and just thought of an excuse on the spot, and then answered:
"I'm sorry. I rushed into the wreckage of Junius VII because my system went out of control. It seemed to be disturbed by strange particle waves. I guess the thing that looked like an aurora just now was that the unknown particle that disturbed my body reacted with the various metals in the wreckage when passing through the ruins, refracting a light similar to the aurora."

To be honest, anyone who has not graduated from high school would not believe what Red said now. Coincidentally, none of the officers on the bridge of the Archangel had a degree lower than college. As for Kira's friends, they were all top students at Heliopolis Academy.

Baki Lulu was a little dissatisfied with Red's serious lie, so she said directly in the communication

"Red, this is not the time to joke. No one knows what happened here. We come here to get water to survive. If the water here is contaminated by something unknown, what's the point of us getting it?"

Red understood Baki Lulu's doubts, so he changed his proposal and said

"Well, let me get a piece of ice. The ship still has equipment to detect radiation. How about we test it and then decide whether to continue to get water?"

Red's proposal was quite reliable, so Malu agreed. After all, she still wanted to solve the water resource problem here. Otherwise, the Archangel would have to become a drunkard battleship in order to survive.

However, when Red piloted the NT-X Gundam back to the hangar, he was speechless when he saw that everyone was wearing biological suits and holding strong disinfectant spray that could directly corrode human skin.

After leaving the NT-X Gundam, Red was sprayed with a strong disinfectant spray while wearing his pilot suit. Anyway, this stuff evaporates very quickly, and the mechanic Maddock sprayed a can of disinfectant on Red's pilot suit.

Of course, the final result of the inspection of the ice cube is that it is just an ordinary ice cube that has been exposed to the universe for a long time. There is no special radiation, and after melting into water, it can become drinkable water with a little treatment.

With this result, and the fact that Malu sent people to repeatedly test the outside of the ship for special radiation, nothing unusual was found.

In the end, the Archangel sent everyone it could to collect ice, just like in the original story. At the same time, it also sent people into the ruined city on the wreckage of Junius VII to see if there were any usable supplies.

At this time, the task of Red and several other MS pilots became to carry large ice blocks or clear the way for the work capsules. If there were rubble flying over and hitting the work capsules, the MS also needed to help intercept them, after all, the work capsules on the Archangel were not armed.

However, just as Red was working as a porter, security guard, and excavator, what was coming finally came, and an explosion suddenly occurred in the direction that the assault was responsible for.

Although Reid knew what was going on, he still asked
"Rookie, what's going on? There was an explosion there. Did you touch something by mistake?"

Due to Red's protection along the way, Kira didn't actually kill anyone directly during his journey from Heliopolis. This time, in order to save Darida and others who were driving the Mistral, he was forced to sneak attack and kill the high-mobility reconnaissance type Jinn in the original work.

So, realizing that he had killed someone, Kira was shaking as he spoke. He replied tremblingly:
"Mr. Red... I just destroyed a reconnaissance Jinn... I think I killed someone..."

Red understood Kira's feelings. The first time he killed someone, he felt so sick that he didn't eat properly for the whole day, and his hands were shaking when he held the gun the next day.

So Red didn't blame Kira too much at this time, and Red knew that this super adjuster was a natural warrior and would adjust quickly. So he just said lightly
“Understood, first check if there are other enemies around, I’ll be right over.

Relax, killing the enemy is the first step to get rid of your rookie status. As long as you are on the battlefield, soldiers will reach this step one day. "

Kira did not respond to Red's words. He was probably still preparing himself mentally.

But Red didn't force it, and just rushed over first.

Then, Red saw Stormer holding a life capsule and reuniting with him.

At this time, Kira in the single-line contact display did not have the trembling mentality of a first-time killer. He looked like he had picked up a puppy or kitten on the road and asked its parents to adopt it. You know, in Red's perception, the last resentment of the Jinn driver who was beaten by Kira had not completely dissipated.

However, Kira also knew that if he took the life capsule back, he would be scolded by the deputy captain when he came back, so he planned to ask Red for help first.

Red knew who was in the lifeboat. After the new humans' abilities awakened, Red could still feel that the people inside were extremely mentally strong. In terms of mental strength alone, they were stronger than the feeling that Kira, the super adjuster, had given him.

However, Red could also feel that Lux inside was actually scared.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. No matter how amazing Lux is, she is just a 16-year-old child. It would be strange if a person was thrown into the universe with an unknown future and was not afraid.

Looking at Kira who picked up Lacus as if by fate, Red could only smile bitterly and said
"Alright, give me the lifeboat. I'll take the blame for this, but this is the last time! Rookie, I was worried that you would have mental problems after killing someone for the first time, but you still had the mood to pick up things. It seems that I don't need to worry about you anymore, but I will take the blame. You can write a situation report later. I will use it to fool the deputy captain."

Kira was overjoyed when he heard this, and handed the lifeboat to Red while promising
"Okay, Mr. Reid. I'll write the statement when I get back."

Red nodded, took the lifeboat and said

"Okay, you continue patrolling, I'll send the lifeboat back to the Archangel first."

After saying that, Red turned around and left, controlling the NT-X Gundam.

Red did this on purpose, with the same purpose of ruining the relationship between Kira and Frey.

Kira at this stage is too easy to be used. Basically, as long as you care about him and treat him well, he will basically not refuse your request. If Kira also thinks that you have a positive outlook on life, he will spare no effort to help you.

As for the official couple relationship between Lacus and Kira, Red could only say that he did not dare to make a conclusion during the SEEDD period. After all, the two had been together on the island for two years, and it was normal for young people to have feelings for each other.

But now in CE 71, the era of SEED, it is impossible for Lacus to have any special feelings for Kira. The environment she grew up in and the responsibilities that were automatically transferred to her after Siegel's death made it impossible for her to fall in love with someone she was not very familiar with so easily.

During the SEED period, Lacus helped Kira and could barely convince him by saying that Kira was Athrun's friend and had helped her once.

But after handing over the Freedom Gundam to Kira, who he had only known for a few months, he threw himself into his arms.

Red could only understand that Lacus already knew Kira's value and wanted to tie this super adjuster to the Klein faction's ship.

So, Red is now in a situation where he has to do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Just like he treated Kira, Red decided to treat Lacus as calmly as possible. But he couldn't let her use her passive ability to blow up Kira's favorability with just a few words, at least not during this short trip on the Archangel.

However, when Red returned to the Archangel, he had to face Malu's questioning first.
"Red, I thought Kira was the only one who liked to pick up random things. Why are you here too? My ship is not a refugee ship. And your lifeboat is a common style used by PLANT spacecraft, right?"

Red knew he was in the wrong, so he could only answer awkwardly.

"It's mainly about Junius VII. I personally don't want any more dead souls there."

Malu thought about it carefully and felt that Red's idea seemed to be justifiable. He could only nod in agreement.
"Well, if you let one sheep go, you can let it go; if you drive a flock of sheep around, you can drive them away. There are so many refugees in the Archangel now, it doesn't matter if there are a few more or a few less. I agree, you can bring the life capsule in." In fact, Malu didn't know who was in the life capsule in Red's hand, otherwise she would have asked Red to throw it away directly. Anyway, PLANT would never let the people inside drift in the universe.

But after the mechanic Madok opened the lifeboat, it was too late for Malu to regret. And out of trust in Red, none of the three lieutenants, Malu, Bakilulu, and Mu, were present for the opening of the box.

Just like in the original novel, Lux did not come out directly, but released Harrow first. If the people outside wanted to shoot directly, she would not be killed immediately.

After Harrow was out and everything was fine, Lux immediately went into performance mode. No matter who was outside, she smiled brightly and said as she floated out.

"Thank you, everyone for your hard work."

Red was speechless as he watched the young lady pretending to be surprised. Although his new human ability could not read minds, his perception of emotions was still very accurate. Lux was only three points surprised at most, and this surprise was because she saw himself. The remaining seven points were about six points of calmness and one point of uneasiness.

So Red didn't let Lux continue her performance. Her inherent charm was ineffective on her after she awakened. And even if she hadn't awakened, Red was still extremely wary of this young lady.

So Red caught Lux directly, helped her stand steadily, and then deliberately complained

"Really? You really found a great treasure. I am Lacus Klein, the daughter of Siegel Klein. Nice to meet you. I'm sure you know me too. I'm Red Isaac."

This time, Lux did not pretend not to know Red. After all, no matter how good or bad his reputation was in PLANT, he was a celebrity.

So Lux nodded seriously and said innocently

"Well, of course I know Mr. Red. My father often mentions you. So, this is the ship of the New Misrchi Republic? Thank you for saving me."

Red was speechless as he looked at Lux who was thanking him. This little girl was young, but she had already mastered the art of lying with her eyes open. She asked if it was a ship of the New Mischi Republic when there were so many people wearing the uniforms of the Earth Federation around her. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to instigate, or to pave the way for what she was going to say later.

But this is an open conspiracy, Red can only answer honestly, but Red is not a pushover, he will still blame others

"Ms. Lacus, this is the Atlantic Federation ship. Due to the attack by ZAFT, Princess Angelique and I have no choice but to seek refuge on this ship. In principle, my situation is similar to yours. Oh, never mind, just follow me."

After saying that, Red grabbed Haro, who was floating beside Lux, covered its camera, and led the way. He planned to find a room to put it first, and then inform Malu that he had picked up a big trouble.

Sure enough, when Red used the communicator in the room to contact the bridge, Maru's voice could pierce Red's eardrums.

“What! You said that the lifeboat you found contained the daughter of the current chairman of the PLANT, Lacus Clyne!! Oh my god, keep an eye on this young lady first. I’m going to get Baki Lulu and Mu back now!!”

Red didn't know what to say at this time and could only look at Lux.

However, Red was not optimistic about what Malu, Bakilulu, and Mu could ask. The real identity of this Miss Lacus was a coordinator, and she was born with an aura that made it easy for people to believe her words. Unless the ideas of what she said were very different from those of the listener, they would be confused by her.

In addition, our Miss Lacus is very good at acting cute and silly, and Red can imagine the scene where Maru, Pakilulu, and Mu are fooled by her.

Sure enough, Bakilulu and Mu, who hurried back, together with Marlu, questioned Lacus, but in the end, they didn't get any useful information except that she was the daughter of Siegel Klein.

All we know is that she came to Junius VII to pay tribute to her for the first anniversary of the tragedy. She was attacked by people from the Earth Union on the way here. After the crew stuffed her into a lifeboat, she knew nothing more.

In the end, Marlu had no choice. It was no longer realistic to put Lacus back into the lifeboat and throw her back into the universe. If something really happened to this young lady, it would become like the Archangel murdering the daughter of the PLANT Speaker.

Although the Atlantic Federation and PLANT are hostile, PLANT will not kill a few lieutenants alone. But if they are responsible for the murder of the PLANT Speaker's daughter, the situation will be completely different. The state machinery will be activated to hunt down a few unimportant enemy individuals. Just think about it and you know they are doomed.

So based on the principle that whoever picks it up is responsible, and Red's identity as a resident of a neutral country comes in handy in this scenario, Maru directly handed over the care of Lux to Red.

There was only one request, that is, to let this young lady stay in her room and not run around. As for how to deal with her, Malu said that he did not dare to make a decision, and it would be better to let the higher-ups consider it after joining the Earth Alliance.

So after Marlu and the others left, Red could only look at Lux, who was holding Hello and acting cute in front of him, with a headache.

But Lux's cuteness is useless to him. She is still more like a 16-year-old girl and her body has not fully grown. Therefore, for Red, who likes adult girls, her appeal is weakened.

In addition, after Red awakened as a new human, his mental resistance increased significantly, so Lux's natural ability to win favor was completely ineffective against Red.

Reid stretched out his hand and said

"Well, Ms. Lacus, you may have to stay in this room for a while. Also, please give me the Harrow in your hand."

Lux had realized what Red was going to do, so she hugged Haro tightly, continued to act cute with her big eyes flashing a pleading look, and pretended to be stupid.

"Hey, Mr. Red, how do you know this child is called Harrow? He is my friend. Can you not confiscate him?"

Again, Red had a strong prejudice against Lux and was immune to her charm. So he said ruthlessly:
"I know it's called Harrow because it keeps calling Harrow. And I'm not going to confiscate it, I'm going to check its procedures.

When I held it on the road just now, I could feel that the weight inside was wrong. This is not the weight that a smart toy should have, so I need to check if there are some functions inside that shouldn’t exist.

Don't worry, I can independently develop the MS OS system and I won't break any of your toys. Of course, the prerequisite is that it is just a toy."

Red had said this, and Lux ​​knew that if she continued to act, she would only add to the joke. So she rarely showed her true expression, puffed up her lips in dissatisfaction, handed the Hello to Red, and said

"You mean Mr. Reid. Hello, but you have to promise not to damage it. Otherwise, you'll have to pay me with a new one!"

Red sensed that Lux was expressing her true feelings this time, so he smiled and said
"I promise, I'll return it to you after I remove some functions it shouldn't have. If it breaks, I'll pay you three times as much. No, I'll pay you ten times as much."

After that, Red took the Harrow and left the room where Lux was imprisoned. He found a computer and hacked into the Harrow directly, deleting all the spy programs, signal jammers, and video recording programs inside it, and returned it to Lux.

At this point, this Haro can still have a simple conversation with Lux, but it can no longer see the road, so it can no longer jump around freely.

So Lux stopped pretending to be silly and directly asked Red to compensate her with ten Hellos.

Red said that he still wanted to remove the recording function even if he gave it ten hellos. Red didn't want Lux to secretly record something and then get a reputation as a bully for little girls.

However, Red still compromised a little, and then got Lux a military mobile computer with the network card and network cable interface removed. He also installed drawing and recording tools in it for Lux to use to entertain herself. After all, this time she couldn't run around relying on Harrow's ability to open the door.

Kira also did not have permission to enter her room. At least on the Archangel, this original CP probably would not see each other very often, and naturally they would not be able to talk to each other very often.
