After more than a month, Ye Lan finally regained consciousness in the intensive care unit of Capital Star Central Hospital.

The heavy and oppressive walls of the Tower of Sin, the contemptuous gazes around the square, the ruthless abuse, and the overwhelming accusations...

is a dream.

The roses growing from blood under the toppled memorial wall, the instruments ringing next to the laboratory bench, the body recovering after exhaustion... The blurry pictures are switched rapidly, only the forever gloomy face of the man runs through a thousand years. A long and irregular memory of 500 years.He walked towards him silently, his thin lips parted slightly, like a sharp knife: Nice to see you again, Ye Lan...

It's a dream, a nightmare.

The bullet passed through the gland, and he fell rapidly from the towering military tower. The evil ghosts at the bottom of the tower stretched out countless pairs of hideous hands from hell, waiting for him and them to be reduced to ashes in the blazing flames...

The cold liquid pierced his pulse in an instant, awakening his consciousness, and all illusions disappeared in an instant.

"Ah..." Ye Lan opened her eyes from the nightmare, and the familiar smell of disinfectant pierced her nostrils, awakening the uncomfortable memory in her brain.He rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed. The pale walls of the ward came into his eyes, and April 3029 was displayed on the electronic screen.

It's been so long.

not bad.Ye Lan thought in her heart, at least, he was still alive.

Lying down for so long that her whole body aches when she moves, Ye Lan got up and went down without permission, touching the pinhole on her arm, only to realize that she was infusion at the moment, on her white arm, the wound left by Min Han could be seen It was subtle, but it made him feel hideous and frightened more than any scar.

He didn't care to check the large and small wounds on his body. He knew that they must have been treated, and was about to lie back when the door of the ward was pushed open.

"Huh? You wake up..." Before the nurse finished speaking, she caught sight of his wound, her face turned pale, and she covered her mouth, "You, you..."

Following her gaze, Ye Lan saw the blood spurting from his arteries, and couldn't help but froze, only then did he suddenly realize what kind of trauma removing the mental chip and destroying those joints had caused to his body.

The injury was so excited, it suddenly seemed like an explosion, and the blood that had been suppressed for a long time in the body continuously gushed out from the opened wound.

The nurse was shocked by the scene in front of her. She pointed at his face and couldn't speak. Her face became more and more ugly, and she quickly backed away, as if she was afraid that the blood would splash on her body.

"Lin, Doctor Lin—" the nurse hurried out.

Hearing the commotion inside the ward and the sound of hurried footsteps outside, Lin Yue rushed in with her shaggy hair that hadn't been combed for a few days. eyebrows.

"Just woke up? You can really sleep, like a pig." Lin Yue's face was full of deep fatigue, and the dark circles under his eyes were scary. He is the chief guide of the Federation and the attending physician of the Central Hospital. After this battle, Numerous wounded were sent to the central hospital for treatment, and he hadn't slept well for many days.

"..." Lin Yue is still so unforgiving, Ye Lan has long been used to it, looking at the wall clock on the wall, the pointer points to three o'clock in the morning, it is really enough to torment him.

"Sit still, I'll take care of it." Seeing that Ye Lan was about to stand up, Lin Yue quickly stopped him, pressed the area near his wound nimbly, and wrapped it with a hemostatic bandage, "This wound can't be hurt at all. Touch, you are too careless."

"Thank you." Ye Lan half sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, slightly turned her face to look out the window, as calm as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yue noticed his gaze, and suddenly thought of the words "There is no love in life", he pursed his lower lip, and asked a little jerky: "I said you...do you feel pain? Or, that... ...do you feel anything?"

Lin Yue's tone sounded very cautious. In Ye Lan's impression, this was the first time Lin Yue talked to him like this.

"No." Ye Lan replied calmly, as if she didn't care about his question.

To Lin Yue's ears, his answer was perfunctory and indifferent, showing that he didn't care about his own body.

The intermittent sobbing of the nurse outside the door stimulated Ye Lan's nerves, and he was a little moved when he heard it, and something seemed to surge again in his heart.

He knew that she was afraid of himself.

He recalled the way the nurse looked at him just now, apart from contempt, there was also horror, as if he was looking at a monster.

"What? Is it..." Observing the change in Ye Lan's face, Lin Yue guessed whether the five senses had recovered, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

"No, it's okay." Ye Lan paused, then added, "You don't have to keep looking at me, I'll call you if something happens."

Lin Yue fell silent, finally sighed, and agreed: "Then I won't bother you to rest, remember to say something."

"Okay." Ye Lan turned around, nodded with a smile, her face was as pale as a person waiting to die.

Walking to the door, Lin Yue stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around again, and told him a piece of news: "About...about you and Yuanhang Fleet, the military department has already investigated clearly. Ten days later, in Capital Square, Marshal Duan Chen will rectify your names."

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, Ye Lan didn't speak this time, and Lin Yue wasn't waiting for him to speak, but was just informing him.

After Lin Yue took the door lightly and left, the smile on Ye Lan's lips gradually faded.

Whether it was in the previous battle or Lin Yue's hesitation to speak, he knew that his five senses had been severely traumatized.

And during his long recovery process, the first thing he recovered was the sense of pain.

The pain of bruises all over the body, the pain of physical exhaustion, the pain of mental fluctuations, and... the overwhelming grief that swept over.

**

As soon as he returned to his office, Lin Yue saw Gu Baimo who had been assisting him in the hospital these days.

Lin Yue really wanted to face him with a smile, but his physical exhaustion and various negative emotions made it impossible for him, who was not good at hiding himself, to do so.

Seeing that he finally came back, Gu Baimo asked the question that they were most concerned about these days: "How is his recovery?"

Lin Yue shook her head, and gave the most straightforward answer in front of Gu Baimo: "It's not good."

During Gu Baimo's military career, he only heard Lin Yue say the word "very bad" when the wounded on the battlefield were about to die, and their physical or mental strength was seriously injured.As for Lin Yue, if the situation was not really bad, these three words would not be easily said. His talent would not allow it, his ability would not allow it, and his pride would not allow it.

"What's wrong?" Gu Baimo frowned. Even a top doctor like Lin Yue gave such an answer, that is, it was really bad.

Lin Yue rubbed his temples, with a rare serious face: "The mental chip is severely damaged, unable to secrete guide elements, and loses the ability to empathize with the spirit. That is to say, he may not be able to be a guide for the rest of his life. Min Han left a mark on him. The wound on his chest still hasn't healed yet. Also, he has some problems with his five senses, and I'm afraid he's not too optimistic about how well he can recover."

Complete loss of mental ability is not only cruel to a guide, it is almost a disaster.This means that this guide will no longer be able to go to the battlefield, can no longer be with his favorite sentinel, and has since been abandoned by the Federation.

"Will you die?" Gu Baimo asked after a long silence.

"..." Lin Yue lowered his head slightly, his slightly long hair half covered his eyes, so that his expression was a little blurred.

"Will he die?" Gu Baimo confirmed the answer to him. Ye Lan was their friend and the most trusted comrade in arms in the past. No one wanted such a result in the end.

Lin Yue didn't answer, but asked him a question instead: "Do you know... why Ye Lan was able to be reborn in someone else's body after being executed?"

Gu Baimo's face changed. He didn't know much about Ye Lan's past. Seeing Lin Yue's serious expression at this time, he vaguely realized that the situation might be unusually serious.

"One thousand and five hundred years ago, Min Han transformed Ye Lan's body into a semi-mechanical body. The mental chip in his body not only stored his consciousness and mental power, but was actually equivalent to his heart and lungs, so as long as If the mental chip is not damaged, Ye Lan will not really die."

"This is also the reason why he was able to escape the interrogation room of 'Eternal Night' alive - his body's pain tolerance limit is twice that of ordinary people. The SS-level torture score has long exceeded the limit of ordinary people's physical endurance gone."

"Although Ye Lan's body after rebirth is no longer the body modified by Min Han, but the mental chip is completely destroyed, and his heart and lungs will also be damaged. He is now like an empty shell with severe failure of various organs in his body. Die any moment."

Unexpectedly, the truth would be so cruel, Gu Baimo frowned deeply: "Is there any other way?"

Lin Yue took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, her eyes were firm like never before: "Try it. After get off work today, I'll go to Teacher Jiang Yan."

**

The days that can only be spent in the hospital bed are not as tormenting as Ye Lan imagined. He knows that the outside world is slowly returning to life, and one day it will return with the better appearance that person promised him.

Ten days later, the meritorious award ceremony was held in Capital Square as scheduled.

Ye Lan deliberately tidied up her appearance and trimmed off her slightly long hair.Lying in the hospital for so many days, unable to move, made him feel like a refugee, so that when he stood in front of the mirror, he felt a little strange to his own face.

It's like seeing yourself through someone else's eyes.

Is he scary?Every time he held this question to look at himself in the mirror, everything became blurred.

Even Ye Lan herself can't rationally define which of President Luxon and President Curry's approach is correct.

President Curry's order to destroy all products of the "extreme empathy" experiment seems to be the most thorough and safest solution.

President Luzern allowed all the victims to return to the common people. He took a huge risk, but he also planted the seeds of disaster from then on.

Either way, there is bound to be a lot of sacrifice.Human beings are groping on the way forward, defining the boundaries of black and white, and carefully making trade-offs in the nature of the weak and the strong.

For himself, he is very grateful to General Ye Lin for his tolerance and President Lu Sen's decision.

For the rest of his life, he will go on bravely.Simply won't live too long, there is nothing he can't face.

The cherry blossoms bloom with smiles, the ice melts into crystal tears and drifts with the wind, it is spring.

Ye Lan tried her best to smile at herself in the mirror, but when she picked up the black military uniform, she hesitated for a moment.Finally, he restrained all his emotions silently, put on his military uniform, and walked out of the ward.

When passing the incomplete memorial wall, Ye Lan stopped and saw that the original handwriting on the wall had long been blurred and unreadable.He followed his memory to find the place where a piece of handwriting was originally covered, and then carved himself and his name on it.

Ye Lan.Duan Jing.

The person I love is the general of the Federation, the head of the Undead Legion, and a 3S spiritual sentinel.His light shines brightly, and his exploits are dazzling.He once sent me to fly high, he said that even if I am special, I don't have to have any burdens.He made an agreement with me that when the light star rises, it is the moment of his return.

More than 500 years later, this sloping protective wall has forgotten the original story, and the rain has washed away its many scars and purified its soul. From now on, only my waiting and confession are left: my heart will always tilt to you , guard the glory and justice you fought for with this memorial wall that symbolizes peace and tolerance.

After rushing to the auditorium, Ye Lan walked through the crowd and saw familiar faces and strange eyes on the left and right.Indistinctly, Min Han's gloomy face came to mind again.

Ye Lan tried her best to get rid of the shadow in her mind, and stood beside Lin Yue.

"A little handsome today." Lin Yue winked at him.

"Cough, is there?" Ye Lan felt a little embarrassed, his cheeks were stained with crimson, he instinctively reached out to touch his nose, and cast a helpless look at Gu Baimo, but saw Gu Baimo also looked back helplessly. he.

The honor awarding ceremony went smoothly. Marshal Duan Chen and Marshal Lin Bo delivered speeches and awarded medals, with Gu Baimo assisting.

"Lin Yue is awarded the first-class Medal of Honor. From now on, he will be transferred back to the Storm Legion to assist Gu Baimo and restore the position of deputy legion commander. The Federation has reserved an honorary position in the Capital Central Hospital for you. Staying at the Central Hospital."

"Gu Baimo, your Storm Legion is the main force in the 'Battle of the Unbounded Zone', and you and Lin Yue helped destroy the Undead. The military department decided to promote you to Marshal and award you a first-class Medal of Honor. In addition, you The application for the combination of the two has been approved."

Ye Lan stood in the crowd, watching all this calmly, at the moment when Lin Yue and Gu Baimo passed by him when they came back, she softly said "Congratulations", but he didn't smile, at this moment, he couldn't laugh .

Lin Yue stretched out her hand and secretly squeezed his hand, then let it go quickly, and whispered in his ear: "Come on."

Those familiar names were uttered one by one. They have created the glorious and bright today of the Federation, and will continue to walk with honor.

Lin Yue, Gu Baimo, Jiang Yan, Han Shuo, Lin An...they all know it.

The federation has opened a new chapter, and it will get better and better.

"General Jiang Yan, the military department admits that what it did to you back then was a serious mistake, and the damage caused by the injections back then is irreparable, but the military department plans to set up a research group in the near future to specialize in the direction of mental fluctuations caused by drugs. Provide you with the most sufficient research materials. In addition, the military department will appoint you as the chief of the intelligence bureau, and if you wish, you can return to the military tower and Milo Star Military Academy to serve."

"Admiral Ye Lin, you have been lurking in the Empire to find the truth for many years, and you have made a contribution that cannot be ignored for the Federation. It is a pity that the Federation failed to find out in time. Now you are restored to the position of Admiral and re-appointed as the captain of the long-distance fleet. The military department has sent Rhodes The compound is lifted and returned, and you can go home."

……

I don't know how long it took, someone pushed him, Ye Lan came back to his senses, and heard Marshal Duan Chen read his name: "Major Ye Lan."

Ye Lan clenched his fingers and loosened them, and walked forward slowly. The discomfort in his body caused fine beads of sweat to form on his forehead. He tried his best to keep his pace steady until he stopped in front of Duan Chen.

"The Federation is very sorry for you... and the long-distance fleet," Duan Chen's eyes revealed a look of grief, "The Federation is sorry for you..."

"I know." Ye Lan suddenly interrupted him, but didn't speak after that.

Marshal Duan Chen sighed, and then continued to read the cold and dry speech: "Due to the corruption within the Federation and the mistakes of relevant personnel, the Ye family and the Yuanhang Fleet have been charged with unwarranted charges. All charges are now revoked, and for The voyage fleet awarded the highest honor medal."

"Thank you." Ye Lan received the Medal of Honor, and the dazzling light on it met his eyes, which turned out to be blood-colored.

"Ye Lan," Duan Chen's mood was indescribably complicated when he called this name, "You don't want to accept the Medal of Honor, stay in the military, and want to retire. The Federation respects your decision. Your injuries are serious. , the Federation will provide you with the best treatment."

"Thank you." Ye Lan lowered his head slightly, thanked him softly, and left silently. His figure passed through the crowd, walking straight forward, with firm steps, without hesitation or turning back.

"Finally, Admiral Duan Jing."

Ye Lan's pace paused, but he quickened his pace in an instant. The moment he reached the entrance of the auditorium, a familiar voice sounded unsuspectingly, making him stop suddenly.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ye Lan was stunned, his heart was beating violently, all the blood in his body rushed to his heart at that moment, he looked along the source of the sound, and the time was frozen——

"During this campaign, Admiral Duan Jing awakened to become the Dark Sentinel, saving tens of millions of lives in the Federation. The Federation decided to grant you the position of Marshal, award the highest honor medal, and appoint you as the Chief Sentinel of the Federation. Since the God of War is here Unfortunately, it was damaged during the period, and the Federation will give the Undead Legion a new D-class battleship, the God King Zeus battleship."

"My pleasure."

……

The cherry blossoms in April fell quietly, Ye Lan leaned under the tree, his pale face was softened by the sunlight, and the sound of footsteps approached from far away, he looked up and saw Duan Jing stepping on the scattered petals on the ground, bit by bit Dot approached him, and finally stopped in front of him.

"It's over?" Ye Lan looked up and down at his new military uniform and marshal's epaulets, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"It's over." Duan Jing said lightly, the warm sunlight made his tall and straight figure lazy and noble.

"I didn't think about it..." Ye Lan smiled wryly. He was obviously happy in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it. He stopped in the middle of the sentence. After a long time, he sighed, "Anyway, you're fine. Very pleasantly surprised."

Duan Jing hooked the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face and eyes: "I heard that I will be awarded the highest honor medal and be promoted to marshal, such an important matter, how can I Not coming?"

"Oh, congratulations." This kind of person can't give him too much face.

"I'm afraid that if it's later, my guide will become someone else's princess."

"It's becoming more and more unreasonable for you to be jealous."

"After all, His Royal Highness said that a certain person's demeanor is something he will never forget. He is the bravest and cutest guide he has ever seen."

"Eavesdropping, are you shameless?" Ye Lan pretended to be calm, but his heart was already tense to death. He didn't forget what he said in front of Lu Chen when he came to visit the doctor. Thinking that Duan Jing might have heard everything, It was so embarrassing that I wanted to bury myself.

"However, even if this is the case, I will snatch you back." It was obviously a childish sentence, but it was said by Duan Jing in a romantic tone like a lingering love story. Those naturally affectionate eyes looked into Ye Lan's eyes, Suddenly, his heart skipped a few beats.

Before Ye Lan could speak, Duan Jing took his hand: "Won't you go to see the new warship with me? If I can get the guidance of the first-level federal mech master, I will definitely benefit a lot."

Ye Lan didn't move, and calmly reminded him: "I'm retired."

"I will retire one day too." Duan Jing looked into his eyes, and the seriousness and seriousness in his pupils told Ye Lan that he was not joking.

Ye Lan rolled her eyes: "Is it appropriate for someone who has just been promoted to Marshal to say such things?"

"Then what do you think? We've already marked it. Even though I don't need a guide now, it doesn't mean I can leave you." Duan Jing held onto his waist and put his chin on top of his head, with a rascal tone.

The fiery breath sprayed on his neck, and Ye Lan's eyelashes trembled. At that moment, the unavoidable weakness in his heart came like a raging tide, making him yearn for this temperature: "You know what? In the central control room of the Undead At that time, the only thing that kept me alive was that the light star would always rise again."

"I know, I know it all," Duan Jing said lightly, loosening his hands around his waist, holding his face, and pressing his forehead against him, "We have faced many things together, and the rest, We can all face it together. I believe this is not the end, but just another beginning."

The river across the third star region flows silently, the cherry blossom petals fall quietly, the solemn and magnificent ancient buildings are silent for thousands of years, and in the end, only the sound of the beating pulse is left.

Witnessing a moment of emotion, wanting to be close to your heart, and that unshakable oath——

"My officer, I promise you, I will walk with you forever."
