In 2143, the Alliance Pingcheng.

After the birth of "Xin", the war situation is very good.The pressure on the front line has eased a lot. After another great victory, the empire retreated and gave up a large area.The war weariness of the soldiers has reached the limit, coupled with the serious shortage of troops, the alliance also did not decide to pursue the victory, and the two sides ushered in a very short period of peace.

Since the establishment of the alliance, Pingcheng City has been a gathering place for bureaucrats.Right now, during the first rest in several years, the luxury and looseness in the bones suddenly broke out again. Several people applied to hold a celebration banquet on the grounds of boosting morale.

Considering the emotions of the soldiers, the upper management agreed for the first time.It was said to be a celebration, but in fact not many people participated, and most of the soldiers were still stationed at their posts.

The banquet was also extremely simple, no different from an ordinary small gathering. The so-called delicacies were a little richer than usual rations, but it did not hinder the joyous mood of the soldiers who could participate.

There were no evening gowns at the banquet, only black military uniforms of the same color for both men and women, and when gathered together they were as dark as a flock of crows.

In this era of continuous wars, a few soldiers can barely play musical instruments.Amid the stuttering music, the few female soldiers were quickly invited away.The narrow space was extremely chaotic, a group of people gathered together to chat, and a group of people were feasting. Just three meters away from them, there were a few people dancing.

It wasn't long before Natasha came to the military headquarters at that time, and the reputation of "heinous" had already spread. After several people were rejected one after another, they didn't look for her again.

So Li Shuo straightened his clothes, and walked towards her under the sympathetic gazes of all his brothers.

Facing his invitation, Natasha still remained indifferent: "General Li Shuo, there are still a few ladies who have not been invited. As far as the relationship is concerned, I think you should invite them."

"Don't be so confused," Li Shuo said with a smile without taking back his hand, "No matter which lady you invite to dance at the ball, it's all due etiquette."

Natasha stared at him silently for a few seconds, and then put her hand on Li Shuo's with the sound of a group of soldiers' jaws dislocated.

The dance music is still going on, Natasha said: "I still think that you should have more targets to invite."

"Yes," Li Shuo sighed, and said bluntly, "but now people are soaking in the laboratory, and they can't pull it out no matter what."

"Oh." Natasha said, and changed the subject very simply. "In the command of the raid, you made a few judgments to be honest. I don't really understand them. Can you explain them now?"

Li Shuo: "...you danced with me because of this?"

"In general, yes," said Natasha. "I'm sorry if this has offended you."

Li Shuo smiled: "It's okay, you can come to me alone later, and I will explain to you." He led Natasha around, "But for now, let's concentrate on dancing, let alone the beautiful lady. A night like this should be lived up to."

"Okay." Natasha nodded, and sure enough, she didn't bring up this topic again. "It's the first time someone told me this theory."

"Then remember it." Li Shuo said with a smile.

Natasha evoked a very shallow and very faint smile, which disappeared in an instant.

At the end, she apologized to Li Shuo again: "General, I'm sorry for ruining your dance. I will return your dance some other day."

"It's all right." Li Shuo waved his hand, "Let's talk about it, there will be a chance." He suddenly smiled, "You are so serious, you are quite like a friend of mine."

"Is it the one you wanted to invite but failed."

"...Yes," Li Shuo smiled wryly, "Don't say it so bluntly." He paused, and then said, "You are very powerful, and one day in the future, you may be able to stand in a higher position than me .”

Natasha didn't answer this time, her eyes suddenly lit up with a militant and eager light.

"Cheers," she said, raising her glass, "to the glory of humanity."

"For the glory of mankind." Li Shuo clinked glasses with her, and the amber liquid splashed on the wall of the glass, reflecting the crystal light.

A few years later, at the underground station in Pingcheng City, everyone knew that Li Shuo had been her imaginary enemy from the very beginning.There are many guesses, but no one thinks of this humble banquet in 2143.At that time, there was no virus outbreak, and the war situation was bright. They danced a dance, a dance that was never returned by the girl.

After the field was over, the soldiers returned to their posts, and the battle continued.On the way back alone, Li Shuo heard the sound of conversation upstairs.

He was all too familiar with that voice, so he leaned on the railing of the stairs and looked up.

Above that, Professor Xia in a white robe was holding a pile of documents and walking through the corridor with his companions.Perhaps feeling Li Shuo's gaze, he also looked over and smiled.

Those eyes were surprisingly familiar to him, condescending, with a bit of ridicule and publicity.

It was as if he had been staring at these eyes for hundreds of years, relying on the light in them, to walk through the darkest years.

"Xia Yinan..." He said slowly, and suddenly his consciousness sank into a thick quagmire.

A few seconds later, the eyes became clear again, and the same eyes appeared in front of Li Shuo.The clock is running slowly, ticking down, hitting the next digit.In the small sound of water, he saw Xia Yinan wrung the towel and put it on his forehead in the slightly drowsy room.

"I remembered." Li Shuo said in a hoarse voice, "The professor's name is Xia Zheng, but in fact, his real name is the same as yours."

Xia Yinan's hand paused: "So what? I would have found people who are similar to me, no matter what, it's just a coincidence. Don't be affected by these emotions anymore."

"No," Li Shuo insisted, "That look can only be you. I will never admit it."

"...Go on to sleep, you have a high fever." Xia Yinan didn't argue with him again.

After Li Shuo fell into a deep sleep again, he went outside and closed the door.He picked up a cigarette with his bony hands, lit it, and took a deep drag.

This is the first time he has smoked in the past five or six years.While swallowing clouds and mist, his face showed an unprecedented irritability.

Soon as he was walking towards the laboratory, Xia Yinan threw away his half-smoked cigarette.

Inexplicably, he remembered the scene when he watched the video of the professor's speech before.At that time, the alliance was still in its heyday. The professor, or Xia Zheng, stood in front of the crowded crowd and explained the existence of "faith".

At that time, Xia Zheng was beaming with joy, and when he talked about the rise, various theories powerfully overwhelmed all doubters.He said that "faith" is a new era, he said the operation of the exoskeleton, he said the future of the aerospace system, and he said that our journey is about to enter the sky.

He is erudite and knowledgeable, and he is so confident that it seems that all the laws of this world are created by him.The stars are vast and the river is thousands of miles long. His world surpasses time in the universe.

Now this extremely oppressive and convincing figure gradually overlapped with Xia Yinan himself.

He began to wonder whose memory it was.As the memory gradually became clear, Xia Zheng's words and deeds, even his eyes, were exactly as Li Shuo said, no different from him.

Xia Yinan leaned against the wall and squatted down slowly.

After a long time, he squeezed out the words from his throat: "I... who am I..." The only answer to him was the flickering flame on the cigarette butt.
