MECHANICAL: Mechanism

At some point, Reaper and Red Dragon squatted on the console together, looking nervously at their former friends.Yanchi noticed that at such a tense moment, he couldn't help but want to hug something, so as to restrain his inner trembling and tension, but the god of death does not have an actual body, and Elwitt is still busy directing, so he looked around , had no choice but to give up, and sat blankly aside, even wanting to pray silently.

He is really an atheist, but at this moment, it seems that the only thing that can help is the non-existent gods. Among all the things he believes in, the only one who can change the current situation is Le Luna, who is fighting in the sky.

After sitting for a while, Yan Chi realized that he had involuntarily held his breath, staring at the screen and refusing to move.

Le Lunai's operation has not made any mistakes so far. To her, playing with these ebony mechs seems to be a breeze. Elwitt's nationality will be lowered. Although Wu Mu Tongren's mecha is very defensive, but the fierce firepower carried by Le Lunai and the super performance of the Phoenix make her almost as if she has entered the land of no one. Victory is only a matter of time, even with...

Yanchi was thinking that even with the help of the Wumutong warship, the problem should not be serious, so he saw the warship decisively opened his eyes.

"It's going to fire! Tell Le Lunai to dodge!!" Banquet jumped up and warned hoarsely, but saw Le Lunai advancing instead of retreating. The phoenix turned around and opened its arms to meet the golden eyes, in the dark There was a silent cry in the universe, the silver light spread, and a milky white halo wrapped the whole big bird like a substance. When the golden light met it, it was like melting ice and snow.

Yanchi's heart was in his throat, and at that moment the brilliance collided, and the naked eye could not bear this brightness. For a moment, Yanchi's eyes were blank, and he couldn't see anything. Then his vision slowly recovered, and he saw the light fade away. , Fenghuang was safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect the phoenix to be so powerful. Seeing that Le Lunai quickly rushed to chase down the battleship that couldn't condense the second shell for a while, he panted violently, eased the feeling of fright, and slowly sat down again.

Elwitt's brows slowly frowned, and he called out the communication channel with the reinforcements to ask about the battle situation. Yanchi heard the sound, and then paid attention. Elwitt didn't know what he heard, and his face became even uglier. Silent question: "They are entangled, but they still can't get through."

Yanchi observed the values ​​of the God of Reaper, and then checked the current situation of other mechas that could not be lifted into the air on the panel, and silently calculated whether the situation could be improved—then he heard a sharp roar.

The second battleship of the Wumutong people fired, and at the same time, they all heard the voice of the reinforcements: "We have broken through the encirclement, and we will be there soon!"

This excited voice did not get the response it deserved.

Yan Chi raised his head numbly, and saw a ball of fire quietly burning in the universe. His brain was numb, but he was unusually calm, as if he didn't understand what it was at all.The light of the silver protective cover gradually dimmed, and finally it was completely wrapped. Yanchi subconsciously went to look at Elwitt, but found that his face was blank, standing there as stiff as a stone, without emotion or waves.

A sound wave echoed in his head, and it took a long time to translate: Farewell.

That was the voice of Le Lunai and Phoenix.

Yanchi's sight began to shake violently.After a while, he realized that it was him who was shaking, and he even had time to think about why he was shaking.He skillfully shuts his emotions out of perception and focuses all his attention on others.The thing that was still burning in the center of the huge screen was certainly not a good choice. His eyes quickly avoided as if he would be burned, and then fell on Erwitt again.

right.Erwitt's current situation is also very critical, Yanchi realized that he should comfort him, but he was still trembling, and it was difficult to walk in front of Erwitt.But no matter what, he still walked to Erwitt's side.Yan Chi tried to speak, but he found that organizing the language was as difficult as keeping the vocal cords from trembling, so he simply gave up and hugged him straight as if falling into his arms.

Erwitt felt his trembling, and his blank consciousness gradually recovered.

This scene is really strange, the wreckage of Le Lunai is burning like the future of mankind, full of symbolic meaning, the reinforcements who broke through the encirclement are madly killing all directions, and the banquet pool and Erwit are clinging to each other, like the world Doom's helpless rodent herbivore facing the end.

Everything around him lost his voice, Yanchi was immersed in blankness, he didn't realize the temperature of his body surface dropped suddenly, his gaffe was more serious than Elwitt.

What broke all this was Yesel who broke in aggressively.No one knows how she entered the control room as a non-combatant, but now the chaos caused by Lerenai is not over, so she came to Erwitt and tore him from the banquet Before she came out, no one expected her next move.

"how dare you!"

Yesel was not as tall as Erwitt, she was only a tall woman type, but this did not prevent her from jumping up full of anger and slapping Erwitt.

Yanchi couldn't say what was more fantastic, but his consciousness finally recovered gradually, but he was surprised to see Yesaier, who was not restrained at all and his eyes were full of tears, continued to explode: "How dare you! Do you know how many people there are?" Your blood! Do you know who that is! Alwitt! How can you!"

Elwitt didn't answer her in time, and even the officers in the entire control room looked at what was happening in front of them with a dull expression and couldn't understand, whether it was Le Luna in the universe or Ye Saier in front of him slapped her. Alwitt.

When they learned that the situation was critical, the staff of the Academy of Sciences headed by Yeser actually distributed weapons such as guns, ammunition, and even electromagnetic guns, and were ready to fight until the last moment. As one of the leaders of the laboratory, Ye Saier Of course, Sale temporarily became the leader of this military organization, and now she looks fierce and angry, not easy to mess with at all.

Banquet was almost the same as the others, unable to react, but when Yesaier jumped up again, he finally reacted and grabbed Yesaier's wrist: "Yesaier..."

However, he still couldn't say anything, especially when Ye Saier looked at him with a desperate and sad expression, Yan Chi really didn't know what he should say.

Erwitt pushed away the banquet in time, allowing him to leave the focus of the confrontation between the two, and at the same time spoke to Yesel in an explanatory tone for the first time: "It's time to end."

Obviously, as the person who has been in charge of Le Lunay in recent years, Yesel understood the meaning of this sentence and the weight of it. She showed a painful expression, took a step back, and her anger gradually disappeared.When the banquet pool was pushed away, he was obedient because he hadn't reacted yet. Seeing that Yesel had restrained his momentum, he made a decision instead, pulling Erwitt back a few steps.

His brain is in a mess now, and he doesn't know what emotion to express, so he simply omits this step and only lets his reason intervene in his behavior.After Erwitt and Yesel separated, there seemed to be no hidden worries about fighting, and Yanchi simply turned his head to pay attention to the latest battle results displayed on the big screen.

The death of Le Lunai made their army go crazy, Yanchi silently agreed to the request of all the mechs that can be launched into the air to participate in the battle, watching the battleship mechas and wormholes of Wu Mutong people were all destroyed by the crazy revenge. The teacher tore it apart, but I didn't know what was thinking in my heart.

Is the war... over?

In fact, although many people knew about the possibility of Le Luna's death earlier, it was only after the incident that Yanchi realized that even if he never appeared in front of ordinary people, Le Luna's status was still not affected.While the war was still going on, Congress initiated the impeachment of Erwitt for reasons of unknown motive.

They didn't know the specific situation and process, and they didn't know the part about how Le Lunai left the ice coffin—Yesaier destroyed the surveillance video without saying a word, and it turned out that this was to prevent problems before they happened.However, there are not many people who can open the ice coffin protection and walk in without any obstacles and persuade Le Lunai to activate the phoenix. The banquet pool is gorgeously ignored, and they only target Elwitt.

This is not so much accountability or impeachment as it is that the long-planned action to fight for the right to speak has finally found a suitable reason and can't wait to start.

It just didn't go well.

As long as the war is still going on, the new human beings cannot live without Elvette. The military's reaction to this is extremely fierce. Even the Mingguang Palace, which has always been unfathomable, will serve as a representative of the mainland at the first impeachment meeting. The saber was stuck on the conference table in front of him to show his resistance.And Erwitt was even more calm. Although he received a return order from Congress in accordance with the normal impeachment process, he did not make any response, let alone take any action.

In the end, Congress could only take a step back and hold a video conference to hear Alwitt's defense.

His defense can only be said to be better than nothing, and what's more terrible is that both Banquet and Artemis refused to attend on the grounds that the war was tight, and they didn't even participate in the video conference.

When Le Lunai's body was still cold and the grief in the army still existed, the political struggle in her name was full of black humor, but the people present obviously didn't care about it.The Congress has all its members in place, but their internal opinions are not unified. It's just that the congressmen who support impeachment have won an overwhelming victory.

The first hearing ended with Erwitt’s refusal to say anything. Mingguang Palace was the only senior military official present at the Capitol.When it was over, she stood up and left the meeting room with a blank face.This time she brought all the adjutants with her, and she was the support a marshal should have.The night was dark, because the war had spread to the mainland, so the sky was very gloomy, and two of the three moons had obvious gaps. Mingguang Palace stood in front of the Congress, looked up at the sky, and frowned.

She really didn't understand what the point of internal struggle was at the moment of life and death.

Heinrich quietly appeared behind her: "Marshal."

Her back is strong and slender, full of unfathomable power, decisive and indifferent, this is the gesture she gave tonight on behalf of the entire military department.

Mingguang Palace turned around: "Yes."

At this time, her indifference gradually receded, and the camouflaged sociality was like a mask covering her mechanically cold face. After a while, she even raised the corners of her lips, as if showing a smile.Heinrich looked at her, feeling a familiar daze without any surprise.

He is one of the representatives who oppose the impeachment of Erwitt, but for now, the voice of this faction is still not strong enough.Human beings are always afraid of creatures that they cannot understand and control. Otherwise, the calls in Congress for the complete use of Lerenai's remaining body will not always exist, and the hostility towards Elwitt will lose its soil.Heinrich tried to explore the reason why he was not afraid at all, but he still couldn't answer whether it was because of nobility or because of the Mingguang Palace.

It's as if he couldn't tell whether Mingguang Palace's special treatment for him was due to feelings or purpose.

He was a useful person to her, both parties knew, and as such, Heinrich could not identify the reason why they still met privately after such a meeting.

"I will continue to collect information in the future. The attitude of the military department is so firm and the war has not stopped. This impeachment will probably have no results. In fact, you don't need to take it seriously." Heinrich couldn't find a suitable candidate for this case. After the incident, other topics discussed as if nothing had happened, can only continue to communicate on business.

Mingguang Palace still maintained a smile, as if it was a very leisurely beast because of its ease: "I know, the reason why I attended was not because I was worried about the outcome of the impeachment, but to appease the Congress and tell you that you are very important."

Her point of view is obviously not in line with his own, like a kind of irony, Heinrich is very clear that in the eyes of Mingguang Palace, this kind of impeachment is simply looking for trouble, so he is fully aware of her unfinished intentions, bowed his head in silence For a while, I couldn't find a new topic to talk about.He was actually very happy that Mingguang Palace didn't care much about the fact of impeachment, because it proved that she still didn't dislike the hypocritical and powerless behemoth of Congress.

In any case, he was one of them after all.

"Hey," Mingguang Palace suddenly approached very close, which startled Heinrich. When he raised his head, he saw her expression of interest, as if she had completely divorced from business affairs, and became very unscrupulous: "Kiss, do you still want to kiss?" Want it?"

Sudden mention of such a thing is really frightening, and Heinrich was even speechless on a rare occasion: "What...?"

He is always very cautious about this, because according to human standards, he really cannot admit that he is in love with Mingguang Palace, and there is nothing to prove that the lovers are in love with each other except for the intimacy under very strange circumstances. The exchange of relationships, and this kind of sudden inquiry always made him unable to make a correct response, and felt that he was really stupid like this.

Ming Guanggong absently raised his chin with two fingers, and explained at the same time: "Because it's really comfortable. Although Elwitt's attitude of not being interested in things has seriously affected his ability to define, but in this kind of thing he point of view is still correct.”

Heinrich didn't understand what Erwitt was involved in this. His well-connected brain made him start to doubt the story between Mingguang Palace and Erwitt, but soon he had no time to take care of this absurd idea. , because Mingguang Palace had already pushed him against the wall, and then maintained innocent and curious eyes, kissed his lips.

This is a kind of naive enthusiasm. Heinrich couldn't understand why he became the object of Mingguang Palace's trial, let alone the look in her eyes sometimes, but to let him refuse would be to overestimate his ability.

Sure enough, the impeachment proceedings failed to stir up more trouble, because in the current situation, it is clear that Alwitt is still very useful.What's more, this matter has not yet ended, and the war suddenly came to a standstill.

The long battle line started by Wu Mutong suddenly shrunk sharply, and the reinforcements from Lion King Star came late, but they were full of sincerity, led by Gabriel himself.He is not only the marshal now, but also the supreme ruler of the Lion King planet.Once the domestic rebellion was calmed down, he immediately fulfilled his promise to Astoria and came to help.

Only when the new humans insist on resisting, the Wumutong people can still continue the war, but now not only the Lion King star is going to help out, even many people in the Star Alliance have proposed opposition proposals, and the war here has never broken through the new era. Humanity's moon defense line, therefore, they have begun to hesitate.

For the first time, Yanchi clearly felt the coming of hope. After taking a long breath, he arranged the patrol and security work, and went out to find Elwitt.

Peace has not yet come, but a respite has finally arrived.

Alwitt has recently been reclusive because of impeachment proceedings that are unknown to ordinary people.As far as Yanchi understood him, it was definitely not because he was mentally injured, but because he was doing unknown work to solve the problem.Elwitt's attitude towards the Congress is still very clear, blatantly ignoring and indulging in the slightest. In comparison, the Mingguang Palace is simply a friendly bridge between the military and the Congress.

Yanchi didn't find Erwitt in the control room, so he went to the office to look for him—Elvett was no longer there when he woke up in the morning, and it was obviously impossible for him to be in the dormitory at this time.

Sure enough, Alwitt was sitting behind the desk, and there was a 3D image of Lerenai standing in the open space.It was translucent, so Yanchi realized that it was not a real person in the first second when his blood boiled.

He quickly remembered the miraculous operation that could leave the database, and sneaked to the side of Alwitt by the wall.Fortunately, his sanity is still there, and his expression doesn't seem to be immersed in sadness. Yanchi asked in a low voice: "This is her database? Then can we try to bring her back to life?"

Elwitt's expression didn't change much, he shook his head and didn't speak, but Le Luna's projection spoke: "Unknown command, unable to respond."

? ? ?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Le Lunai, it's just a system!

Yanchi had a feeling of hopelessness. He turned his head to look at Elwitt, and saw him speak slowly: "This is not her, it's just...a system. She doesn't want to stay."

There was a silence.Yanchi vaguely felt that it was not suitable for him to be the audience for Erwitt to miss Le Rennay, but he also knew that it would be even more strange to ask Erwitt to confide his heart to other people, and there was no other option at all, so he gave up on starting The idea of ​​a joke, just touched the back of Erwitt's neck: "Well, you also said that this is her wish."

These words of consolation are of course very dry, but as far as Yanchi feels, Elwitt doesn't care about the content of the consolation, he just needs company.Sure enough, not long after he spoke, he was embraced by Alwitt.This was a relatively unenthusiastic hug, and it was the first time that Yanchi felt that he had become the leader between the two, gently and tolerantly blooming Alwitt's obvious emotions.

He belatedly realized that the reason Elwitt was unwilling to appear in front of others was because he had uncontrollable emotions.This is redundant and disrupts the process for those who need it.

Yan Chi felt that his maternal feelings came at a very bad time, and he touched the back of Erwitt's neck absent-mindedly, and was completely inappropriately pleased by his obedience and lack of response, so he comforted him in a low voice: "This it's not your fault."

This was originally a patterned comforting word, but Alwitt quickly raised his head and glanced at him: "But I can't judge whether I made the right choice."

Yan Chi was stunned, and he realized that the situation was actually more serious than he thought, and Alwitt was very clear about the entanglement and persistence of right and wrong, so he quickly hugged him hard, and emphasized his tone firmly. Tell him: "It's not your choice, it's Le Renner's choice."

He thought of the projection system that was still standing here, as if he had found strong evidence: "She didn't even leave her own consciousness, how can you take all the responsibility on yourself?"

This reason was very good, and Erwitt finally showed the appearance of being persuaded.Yanchi heaved a sigh of relief, and patted his head again: "Good boy, this really has limited relationship with you. You also said that Le Lunai didn't like that very much, even Ye Saier is not angry with you Now, Le Lunai won't be angry with you, why do you doubt yourself? These are not your fault. "

This kind of usual comforting method was very new to Erwitt, so he kept silent all the time, and even leaned against his chest in accordance with Yan Chi's wishes, thinking that this weak gesture was very interesting.Although Yanchi's argument was firm, Erwitt had more questions to think about.He did not realize that he was wrong because of the impeachment of Congress. For him, this is the reappearance of the ethical issue of euthanasia.

Perhaps, it was also because he missed Le Rennai emotionally and was unwilling to let her leave.
