The major general's trumpet is my white moonlight [Interstellar]

Gradually recovering his consciousness, Ye Lan found himself surrounded by unfathomable darkness. He was at the bottom of a pool, unable to breathe, and struggling to move. The undercurrent surged under the calm water surface, and the coldness turned into a blade that lingered on his body, bringing Constant tingling.

He knew it was a dream, a distant past 500 years ago, but he couldn't wake himself up.

At the end there seemed to be a blur of light and shadow, outlining a tall and straight figure, motionless, as if waiting for a certain kind of future to meet him.

Who is that?

Min Han?Song Cheng?Duan Jing?Or... himself?

It was the figure of a man, wearing a general's uniform, with a resolute back, but he looked lonely and sad because he was standing alone in the darkness.

Realistic and illusory pictures flashed in my mind, filling the blank pages of interstellar history. It was the memory of the chip, the memory of Admiral Kamo.Confronted with Min Han without any results, built a sloping peace wall, secretly stopped the experimental garbage disposed of from the military tower, arranged for them to fly away from the capital star in a starship, and established this secret base under the unnamed planet in the unbounded area. Helping the residents of Exel to escape, promising to give them freedom, and finally being imprisoned in a huge closed container by Min Han...

A tear fell silently across the corner of his eyes. Even in his dream, after a long time span of 500 years, he could still feel how sad and desperate the first owner of the chip was at that time.

Are you coming?I’m waiting for you.Did you deliberately cross the millennium to listen to the hidden past?

No, I don't want to know you at all.I don't want to know about you and him, and I don't want to inherit your obsessive memory.

However, I will go on, I still have my own destiny to face.

What awakened Ye Lan was the sound of Sang Sa arguing with a stranger, which rang in his ears noisily, breaking the calm water in the dream.

The light and shadow receded like a sea tide, and those strange and familiar images disappeared one by one from his mind. Ye Lan slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the Fengze lounge. He sat up and heard Sang Sa talking with An angry confrontation with someone outside.

Remembering what happened before the coma, Ye Lan stood up abruptly, startling the young guide who opened the door secretly.

"General, you, are you awake?" The girl looked at him timidly, her dodging eyes showed her uneasiness.

Ye Lan couldn't help being startled when she heard the girl calling herself "General" without any hostility.

These people... Do they take him for Admiral Kamo?

A burst of dizziness hit, Ye Lan supported the edge of the bed and sat back again, raised her head to look at this strange girl.

The girl was young, and although her body was dirty, her big eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Sang Sa asked me to take care of you..." The girl walked to the table, poured a glass of water and passed it to him, her hands trembling slightly, as if she was very nervous, "You...have a glass of water."

"Okay." Ye Lan took the water glass, stared at the slightly swaying transparent liquid, and suddenly recalled the deep pool in the dream where good and evil were indistinguishable. The glass stopped on his lips and was held in his hand without any movement.

The girl rolled her throat, staring straight at Ye Lan's hand, as if she was also very thirsty.

"You want to drink too?" Ye Lan gently raised her hand, and handed the cup back smoothly.

The girl shook her head, and looked at him curiously from time to time, but was afraid of being discovered by him. After a while, she probably thought that Ye Lan would not find out, so she was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning, and even got close to him. He asked next to him: "How do you feel about your body?"

"Very good." Ye Lan replied truthfully.

"Don't be sad..." The girl comforted her clumsily, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

"Sad things have happened before. Now it's just going through it again." Ye Lan said lightly, as if being hurt by the one she loves is just a common thing.

The girl was silent for a while: "I heard...the one who is going to kill us this time is your lover again?"

Again?

Ye Lan read these two words in her heart, but did not answer.The last time she mentioned was Min Han cleaning up the experimental objects 500 years ago, or was it Song Cheng following the federal order to dispose of the exiles on Exel?

The girl's words were like a warning, creating an insurmountable gap between the two of them, making the atmosphere stalemate.

Ye Lan paused: "I'm not a general, don't call me that."

The girl was startled, with a deep apology in her tone: "...I see."

Not long after, she heard her speak again with an incomprehensible persistence.

"Do you love your lover very much?" The girl's voice was calm, but her gaze was complicated, which made him feel a strong sense of oppression.

Ye Lan answered frankly: "Yes."

"Can you tell me about him? I'm curious what kind of person he is." The girl asked for some reason.

"He is a very good general and a good lover." Ye Lan's voice was calm, but her heart seemed to be cut open.

Ye Lan was startled, but did not continue.

He is brighter than anything in my life.

When my eyes are blinded, I am willing to choose to believe him.

"General, did anyone tell you that when you mentioned him, your eyes would be very gentle, as if they would glow?" The girl grinned innocently, but there seemed to be deep irony hidden in her smile.

She stubbornly called him general, and when she looked at him, it was as if she was looking at another person.

Ye Lan frowned slightly, and before she had time to think about it, she heard a fierce quarrel outside the lounge.

"He's the same as us? Then why wasn't he exiled to Exel—"

"Why doesn't he have to be locked up at the bottom of the tower without seeing the light of day like us, why can he serve in the military department..."

"Obviously we are also the victims of the experiment, but in the end we were thrown away like garbage!"

"Didn't Admiral Kamo say he would save us and help us back then? But then! With the existence of 'him', they directly regarded us as trash!"

"Isn't the imperials and those mercenaries looking for him everywhere, just exchange him!"

The quarrel gradually turned into an uncontrollable situation. Ye Lan clenched her fingers, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the door of the lounge. Just as her hand touched the doorknob, a dagger appeared under his abdomen and stabbed fiercely. come over.

Ye Lan easily restrained the hand that stabbed him, and then twisted the other's wrist, forcing her to stab the dagger into her abdomen.

"You..." The girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at the dagger that had sunk into her abdomen in disbelief. The seemingly innocent face finally revealed deep malice, "You have seen it a long time ago?"

Ye Lan looked at her with a complicated expression, and said lightly: "No, I just have no reason to let go of my guard against you. If it is someone I trust, I may not be able to avoid this knife."

Realizing the disparity in strength between the two, the girl knew that it was impossible for her to kill Ye Lan, she smiled wryly and shook her head, tears overflowing her eyes, her tone was full of hatred and resentment, as well as deep despair: "Ha...it's a pity, actually I can't kill you..."

Ye Lan's eyes gradually changed, and her face turned cold.

"Do you think there is a difference between you and Admiral Kamo?" The girl's voice trembled, and tears rolled down, "Do you know that because of you, the most successful experimental subject, we become useless ..."

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and Sang Sa, who broke in, saw the dagger stuck in the belly of the girl sitting on the ground, and pinched her fingers angrily: "What did you do?!"

Seeing the transparent liquid on the table, Sang Sa walked over quickly, picked it up and sniffed it, her lips trembling slightly: "This glass of water..."

"I didn't drink." Ye Lan shook her head, let go of the fingers pinching the girl's wrist, and looked at the few people crowded at the door of the lounge, her eyes turned cold.

Sang Sa breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the girl a disgusted look, but knew that now was not the time to settle accounts.

The man at the head had a ferocious face, with only one eye left, and a huge burn-like scar on his face, making it impossible to distinguish his original appearance.He looked directly at Ye Lan, opened his mouth slowly, and revealed a name that he was destined to be unable to get rid of: "Admiral Kamo?"

His voice sounded very hoarse, obviously damaged vocal cords.

Ye Lan did not speak, he is Ye Lan, not anyone, not Ka Mo, not Li Man, not Yan Chu and not Chu Ye...

But so what?Even if he doesn't want to bear these memories that don't belong to him, each name has become a nightmare that he can't get rid of.If he doesn't face this moment, perhaps it will be with him forever.

The leading man stared at him for a long time, then suddenly corrected his address: "No...Major Ye."

The corners of Ye Lan's lips twitched, unable to tell what kind of complicated mood she was in now.

"Colonel Sang Sa, why do you have to defend him? Have you become like him?"

"If it weren't for our sacrifice, how would you have that mental chip!"

"Obviously you are also an experimental product, but you go to be a lackey for the Federation. Everything you get is our sacrifice!"

"Unless you take out the mental chip, we will believe that you are the same as us!"

similar?

Hearing this word, Ye Lan was in a daze for a moment, vaguely recalling what Min Han had said to him in the underground laboratory of the military tower.

——"In this world, there is no one like you except me."

Min Han's words are still in his ears, and what he hears and sees now confirms these words.

The girl fell to the ground and sobbed: "Even if you are our kind, why did you hide with us... If it wasn't for you, Exel Planet wouldn't have been destroyed..."

"You're wrong. I'm not as important as you think. The Federation and the Empire are at war in the borderless zone. It's the Federation's order to kill you all. It's just a matter of arresting me." Ye Lan replied calmly. He had to bear many crimes. Just because he didn't care about the venomous eyes of these people, it doesn't mean that he is willing to continue to shoulder all the crimes that don't exist.But he forgot that there are many people in this world who only believe what they want to believe. Even if the truth is presented to them one by one, they will only blindfold themselves.

"Impossible, they must have bombed here to catch you—" the girl screamed uncontrollably, flailing her hands in the air, as if she was facing a ferocious ghost.

"Enough!" Ye Lan glanced over coldly, took out a gun and pointed it at the girl's head, and after a moment's pause, pulled the trigger.

The gunshot rang out, the bullet pierced through the girl's head, and the moment the blood spattered away, blurred her vision.

"Take out the chip, please forgive me for not being able to do it. My chip has already fused with the gland," Ye Lan raised the gun to the top of his head when he saw the fear in the eyes of these people, his eyes full of terrifying murderous intent reflected Looking at the endless cold sea water, between the lines reveals the desperation of desperation, "Whoever dares to mess around, I will let him die here immediately, I will do what I say."

Looking at those eyes mixed with fear and contempt, Ye Lan felt a deep disgust in her heart: "Get out of my lounge."

"Do you want me to say it again?" Seeing that they were indifferent, Ye Lan repeated it, pointing the gun at one of them again, feeling a dark emotion surging in her flesh and blood.

I don't know who was the first to take a step back with trembling legs, and then ran away in a hurry, shouting to the outside: "Help——"

One by one they left, and in the end, only the man in the lead remained, who didn't seem to be afraid of him.

"Three days, my mecha needs time to recover and repair," Ye Lan added wearily, putting down the gun in his hand, "After three days, I will leave by myself."

"You really have changed a lot." The leading man left after saying only one sentence, the sarcasm in his tone made Ye Lan think for a moment that he was someone he was familiar with.

familiar?He almost forgot that five years ago, he almost died at the hands of these lunatics.

The blood on the ground was shocking, Ye Lan sat back on the bed, looked at the dead girl numbly, and suddenly felt that her blood had become so cold that even she was afraid.

Am I still me?

Have I changed?

"Don't think about it. The answer is actually useless. You just need to look forward." Sang Sa covered his shoulder and patted him lightly. He was out of breath, "All memories will become meaningless in the end."

Ye Lan suddenly felt very tired, and lay down on her back, covering her eyes with her arms.

"In the past ten years, I have taken over Admiral Kamo's secret base, and I have always been the one who transferred the people at the bottom of the tower. I'm sorry... I didn't expect it to end up like this." Sang Sa said in his tone I am deeply sorry.

"It's not your fault," Ye Lan said with a long sigh, "No one expected today's result."

"Well," Sang Sa paused, and then said, "There is one more thing, I think I should tell you... Admiral Duan has fallen into their hands. If you want to see him, I can help you."
