imperfections

how can that be possible?she thinks.

The starship Jingyuan was assassinated in the Heart of Rose, and a surviving military recorder on the frigate took sporadic footage, and she watched it hundreds of times.

As soon as she obtained the proxy of the director of the Eden Management Committee from the old man of Gordon's family, she went through the database of Eden with her own hands, and paranoidly confirmed with her own eyes the time and place that person disappeared in Eden.

She can even recite the complicated interstellar coordinates verbatim.

So it must be fake.

Within the Eden monitoring network, gene cloning is strictly prohibited.But it doesn't mean that those barbarians from the Outer Territory and the Eight Galaxies won't do this... Maybe this person doesn't even count as a clone, he's just a copied biochemical human.

Nuclear explosion-like anger exploded in Lin Jingshu's thin chest, her teeth were clenched too tightly, and a bit of blood came out.

How could they, how dare they!

But Lin Jingshu is not used to expressing her emotions and anger in color. After being depressed for a long time, her facial muscles no longer have the ability to respond immediately.So no matter how turbulent my heart was, I could only bite the blood and suppress it—Lin Jingshu subconsciously knocked on the personal terminal of the chief guard, easily gained control of his personal terminal, and replayed the scene just now.

This time, she saw the man more clearly.

For many years, Lin Jingshu liked to collect all the news about the young general... although most of them were negative.But in her opinion, even if the media scolds him in different ways, it is very interesting to read. No matter if he becomes a bastard or a thug, his existence is already the deepest comfort.

For others, Lin Jingheng is a name, a photo, a vague and cold image.But in her heart, he is moving. She has described his indifferent and arrogant demeanor, indifferent attitude, and casual walking posture countless times in her heart. Sometimes Lin Jingshu even feels that if she wants to To change her personality and her whole appearance, she can even play the role of Lin Jingheng who can be faked.

In the blurry video, that person is too familiar.

Lin Jingshu looked at him for the second time, and the cliffs and cliffs in her heart began to collapse bit by bit.

Even if they copy biochemicals or clones, their bodies are exactly the same, can they copy the exact same soul?

And... that mechanical arm.

Lin Jingheng never showed Zhanlu to others. Even if he needed to bring Zhanlu with him sometimes, he just let him wear a military uniform and mix with his personal guards. Anyway, others couldn't tell that he was not human. Compared with other famous mechs, Zhanlu It was too mysterious, and only the huge mecha fuselage appeared in the public eye.

Lin Jingshu is one of the few non-military people who has seen Zhanlu's mecha core.

She remembered that day, Lin Jingheng was appointed as the first person in charge of the Silver Fortress. After the awarding ceremony, there was a banquet where dignitaries gathered. Lin Jingshu, a researcher.At that time, she hadn't learned how to be comfortable among those people, and reunited with her brother who had been separated for many years, and the two were relatively silent.

Out of social etiquette, those people gave them time to be alone. Lin Jingheng probably couldn't find anything to say, so he introduced Zhanlu who was next to her to her.Although he knew that Zhanlu was a computer, his appearance was still too realistic. Lin Jingshu was a little cautious towards him. It happened that she was wearing a knitted sweater with the college logo that day, and Zhanlu took care of that dress very considerately. The college logo on the screen has become a mechanical arm that means "technology changes the social structure".

From childhood to adulthood, this was probably the only little secret between their siblings.

She didn't know that since then, Lin Jingheng set Zhanlu's energy-saving form as a mechanical arm, and she didn't know how he escaped from the deadly Rose Heart and completely erased himself from the database of the Garden of Eden Yes, she didn't know why he was in the eighth galaxy, why he didn't come back, what plans he had, how he was doing well...why he refused to send her a few words, even if it was just a hint.

He is still alive.Lin Jingshu thought, he is in the eighth galaxy.

For a moment, Lin Jingshu felt that her numb heart was stabbed by something, and then she started to have a severe colic, and fresh flesh and blood emerged from her rotting body. The real pain even gave her the illusion that she was still alive. .

She raised her head blankly, just in time to meet the guard's cautious gaze.

In an instant, Lin Jingshu came to her senses, and she immediately realized that the man in front of her was afraid and was observing her reaction at the same time.

"Lin Jingheng is still alive" - ​​this news will turn the whole battle situation upside down.

And no matter what he was doing in the eighth galaxy, he would actually take action against something like "Flying Eagle" himself, which showed that the people and resources in his hands must be very limited now.

Lin Jingshu glanced at the vanity mirror at the corner of the table calmly, and made sure that there was nothing on her face. She was a "blue sea" that once opened under a microscope. Every petal opened, and there were countless pairs of eyes. Staring and considering, so I have become accustomed to having a specific posture even for breathing.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Jingshu restrained all her emotions, and then she turned off the video on the captain's wrist expressionlessly, smiled coldly, and sat behind the table like a dignified doll, spreading her hands Both hands: "What is this? Is this the reason you gave yourself?"

The chief guard opened his mouth: "Madam, this person... don't you think he looks like..."

Lin Jingshu's gaze pierced his skull like an ice cone. The chief guard observed his words and suspected that as long as he said "Lin Jingheng", the gentle and delicate robot at the door of the office would rush in and smash him into pieces. Heap minced meat.

"If you want to provoke me, then you have succeeded a little bit." Lin Jingshu said slowly, "Who gave you the idea?"

The chief guard realized what she meant after a moment of surprise, and quickly called out: "No, I didn't arrange this, ma'am, how could I blaspheme... blaspheme... Besides, how could I get General Lin's Genes? You trust me, I..."

Lin Jingshu slightly raised her eyebrows and interrupted him: "It's not you? Who is that?"

She is extremely slender, her face is only the size of a palm, her skin is too pale, she looks extremely fragile, her snow-white neck is thin and long, how much strength would it take to break it?But he was afraid of her, the closer he got, the more he could smell the rotten sweet smell on her body. There was an indescribable aura about her, like that shadowy ghost in a nightmare, standing in front of you and smiling at you, but you didn't Knowing what terrible things she could do in the next moment.

Lin Jingshu asked again slowly: "If it's not you, who is it? Huh?"

Chief Guard: "I... I'll check for you..."

"You'd better go," Lin Jingshu said, "I don't care what method you use, I want to send this counterfeit back to the meat grinder, I also want to know how his genes leaked from the alliance, who copied him , I want you to cut off every hand that touched him, and if you can't, make up your own—"

The captain of the guard shuddered slightly.

"I want to thoroughly investigate, I want to completely control the eighth galaxy," Lin Jingshu twitched her temples, "from now on, I want you to send more people to the eighth galaxy."

"Ma'am," the chief guard said quickly, "the eighth galaxy really can't find much oil and water, we shouldn't put too much resources and energy on..."

Lin Jingshu raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.

The head of the guard bite the bullet and said: "In this way, our sales in the future will be affected, and the loss will be heavy."

If the plan cannot be completed, this woman will definitely not reflect on her decision-making mistakes, and it will be him who will be angry at that time.

Lin Jingshu asked: "Loss? Why, the first batch of opium popularized in the army didn't work well?"

The captain of the guard said in a low voice: "The experimental stage is not over yet, and the first batch of chips that need to be replaced is still fifteen days away. I don't know how much the active repurchase rate will be at that time. In addition, you also know that the promotion of opium into the military and Angel City The fortress must be very cautious, if you are not careful, you will be noticed by the upper echelons..."

Lin Jingshu smiled at him without showing her teeth: "How come, do you know that there is no legal emotional potion in the Angel City Fortress? Even my note doesn't work anymore, everyone is starting to show their abilities Get in touch with the black market. It's said that some black markets already have the ability to build a "partial Garden of Eden" and only need a small chip. Now everyone has sharpened their heads and is looking for ways to buy this chip by themselves."

The chief guard heard what she meant, and broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.Realizing that this crazy woman has more than one drug trafficking route, extending in all directions like a spider's silk, and she is only one link... Maybe it is a link that can be discarded at any time.

Lin Jingshu stretched out her cold fingers, and clasped the wrist where his personal terminal was installed: "I don't allow anyone to impersonate Lin Jingheng, this is a counterfeit, and the counterfeit must die, do you understand?"

The chief guard originally had hesitation in his heart. After all, the man's appearance and posture were too much like Lin Jingheng, but after receiving Lin Jingshu's firm order, his hesitation was quickly replaced by fear and worry. Anyway, he didn't dare to ask Lin Jingshu how to judge the video. The man is not Lin Jingheng's own, but if Lin Jingshu is a little uncertain and would not be so hysterical, then maybe there is a special connection between the twins.

The chief guard was preoccupied with the unfinished task that Lin Jingshu left him, unknowingly accepted the premise that "the person in the video is a clone", and thought angrily in his heart: the exact same gene cannot be copied to produce the exact same person, This bit of common sense is known even by the primitive people on the fucking earth. What kind of psychopath who wants to die does such a boring thing, and even puts his hand on Lin Jingheng's head?Enraged the female devil head, making him now in a dilemma.

When he was so distracted, his reaction was a little slow. Lin Jingshu directly picked up half a cup of boiling hot tea and poured it on the head of the guard's face.

The captain of the guard let out a scream, covered his face and backed away again and again, howled for half a minute in the sound-proof office, and the scalded areas on his face and hands immediately became red and swollen.

Lin Jingshu: "If he doesn't disappear, you will disappear, understand?"

The chief guard didn't dare to understand, endured the pain, panted like a bellows, and fled out of her neat and tidy office in a panic.

Lin Jingshu sat alone behind the table, sitting upright—a famous lady must not only control her mouth, but also control her body language. It is like a static portrait of a lady all the time.

But at this moment, she really wanted to curl herself up into a ball, because it was really cold.

The artificial intelligence with low eyebrows walked in and silently cleaned up the water stains on the ground.Lin Jingshu stared at her, motionless, because for those beasts who live alone, weakness often brings fatal danger, so their way of fighting pain is to try their best to cover up and endure it, and never reveal the slightest bit to the world.

Lin Jingshu looked at herself in the mirror, as if she had seen through the ending of the story at a glance.

She slowly refilled her lipstick, and then turned up the temperature in the room.

When the shadow of the abyss hangs over the entire alliance and quietly opens its bloody mouth, the eighth galaxy, which is waiting to be rebuilt, is like frozen soil blown by the spring breeze, lifeless, and sprouts like miracles.

Inspector Yu used his last speech to wake up the compatriots who were in a daze, while Bai Yinjiu's raid seemed to give them a refreshing shot of soothing agent.

The communication network has not been repaired, and rumors have quietly flown out.

Countless people who had won the old medals stopped again, listening to the song of the Freedom Alliance Army in the distance, and the leader of one party who was in a state of panic all day long secretly bought the real scene of the battle like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves on the black market, hoping to find a new asylum, struggling on the line of life and death People on the Internet whispered whether it is true that if you have a job on Venus, you can exchange for daily necessities.

Chief Edward took the team he hadn't adjusted well and worked overtime for half a month urgently, so it was still too late to review the integrity of the votes submitted by the planets and bases.The administrative structure of the eight star systems has not yet been fully implemented, and Lu Bixing's communication network design, which has been revised three times, has been given the opportunity to practice first—the cosmic technical workers sent by various planets and bases have become the first batch of people who earn nutritional needles from the new government.

The eighth galaxy has skilled workers, especially the workers on man-made space bases and transformed planets. The level is far beyond Lu Bixing's expectations.For hundreds of years, those who have maintained the basis of human daily life are those who will not leave their names in history. Otherwise, it may not be necessary to wait for those heroes to drive "buzzing" mechs to fight for it, an artificial atmosphere falls off, and the universe The ray can take the heroes and bears on the ground together.

It's a pity that there has been no planning and management for so many years. No matter how powerful the skilled workers are, they only do some basic maintenance work.

At this time, the entire eight galaxies gathered together following the light of enlightenment. Under the temptation of "high salary", these people were like worms accumulating energy underground, and finally crawled out bit by bit, trying to take off, forming an organized project After the team, they will even automatically complete the details that are not considered in the general design drawing.

The communication network was repaired at a speed that Lu Bixing did not expect. At the end of April 276 in the new ephemeris, the eighth galaxy communication network was completed, and an automatic update prompt popped up on everyone’s personal terminal. , landed on each planet, each base, and each person's personal terminal, Chief Edward made the first new government declaration and inauguration speech, and at the same time promulgated the constitution of the eighth galaxy. Within three days, all local organizations and armed forces announced to join The government, connected to a unified administrative and financial system, started a census, and turned over private armed forces, which were incorporated into the Eight-Star Self-Defense Force.

The chaotic torrent finally merged into the river channel and flowed downstream, gradually revealing the fertile soil on both sides of the river.

On May 276, 5, the new government officially recognized the Freedom Alliance Army more than 15 years ago as an official legal army, and recognized the Freedom Alliance Army as the predecessor of the Eight-Star System Self-Defense Force.In Venus Galaxy City, the new government and the central square were completed by more than 100 robots. The stone monument of General Lu Xin, who had been beheaded by Voto, stands beside the square where people come and go.After dying silently for more than thirty years, his features remained the same, and he was reborn on the edge of civilization along with the ruins.

The little-known little place of Galaxy City turned into Votto of eight galaxies in a blink of an eye. The residents celebrated the completion of the square, reveled beside the stone statues, and a mariachi band found somewhere played a symphony like noise.Lin Jingheng and Cyclops, who naturally hate bustle, came to the square at the same time, met in a newly opened tavern next to them, and exchanged a glass of wine and a cigarette. There was no quarrel or communication. Explaining his iron-blooded behavior that was like "betrayal" back then.

It wasn't until night approached and the carnival crowd gradually dispersed that the one-eyed eagle said: "Although the material production lines in various places have recovered, they need to be re-regulated and expanded. If we want to reach the level of self-sufficiency in the galaxy, it is conservatively estimated that at least one more year will be needed." In [-], the previous emergency military supplies bottomed out.”

Lin Jingheng stubbed out the cigarette butt, and let out a "huh".

One-eyed eagle: "We have to find a solution as soon as possible."

Lin Jingheng raised his eyes: "The engineering team is coming back soon, you want to send me away, don't you?"

The small vein in the corner of the one-eyed eagle's eye twitched twice.

Lin Jingheng and him looked at each other for a while, then smiled, the bitterness suddenly disappeared, he smiled a little narrowly like a young man, his gray eyes turned back to look at the stone statue on the square, the stone statue was covered with light, bathed in the setting sun middle.

"He pays the bill." Lin Jingheng buckled the old Persian cat to the bar counter and walked away.
