Mermaid [Interstellar]

The emperor did not wait for Cyril's response: "What?" Even though he was already lying weakly on the bed, the emperor's voice still could not hear any emotion.

Cyril lowered her eyes and said in a flat voice, "Yes."

The father and son had nothing else to say.

Cyril sat patiently for a while longer, staring at the emperor, and when the emperor closed his eyes and fell asleep exhaustedly, he waited for a while before leaving.

Marshal Adolph... Erwin...

Cyril was very worried, and it really wasn't good for the emperor to let him come back.

Did the emperor know that he was going to die and asked him to come back to solve the obstacle for Philip?

I... am I going to lose?

Cyril gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the emperor's bedroom, with unwilling anger burning in his eyes.

……

Philip's airship made an emergency landing on a desolate planet.

Fifth Sister looked outside and hesitated to take a step: "Where is this?"

"I don't know." Philip responded angrily, and got off the airship regardless of Fifth Sister's entanglement.

"Hey, wait a minute." As soon as Philip left, he shut down all the systems of the airship, and Fifth Sister couldn't do without following him.

We have to find a way to find useful energy to supplement the airship.Philip looked around for available resources.

Fifth Sister followed behind him with low eyebrows, not daring to say a word, and Philip would not respond to it.

This planet is extremely desolate, there is no one, and the air is very thin.

Philip looked at the bright starry sky, then at the land where no weeds grew, and sighed silently.

He never thought that there would be such a day, and he would fall into such a mess.

The planet is not big, and the two of them walked around the planet side by side without saying a word, and finally found a small wooden house with a small pond in front of it.

to see?

Fifth Sister asked Philip with her eyes.

Philip nodded irresponsibly. In his opinion, the wooden house was probably deserted.

Didn't you see that the door of this wooden house is about to rot?

Fifth Sister excitedly took a few steps forward, realizing that she might be in danger, and if she walked ahead, she would definitely ward off disaster for Philip.

So, she walked behind Philip: "Your Highness please first."

Philip: "..." He almost laughed angrily.

Philip really didn't want to be a gentleman at this time.

But there has to be one person to go ahead, combined with Fifth Sister's previous performance, Philip thinks it is better to go ahead by himself.

Gently pushing the wooden door open, the dust scattered. Philip rubbed his eyes, took a few steps back, and kicked the wooden door vigorously.

The wooden door had long been rotten, and when he kicked it like this, the wooden door let out a miserable howl of being overwhelmed, and fell down in response.

The two walked in, and as Philip expected, there was no one in the house, and the owner of the house was long gone, and he had been gone for a long time.

Seeing that there was no one, Fifth Sister was relieved. She began to search around, hoping to find something useful that would relieve Philip's dislike of her—to prove that she was still useful.

Philip went out alone to check the surrounding environment.

Not long after he walked out, the Fifth Sister in the house let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" He hurried into the house.

Fifth Sister turned her head, her eyes widened in a daze, the sockets of which were red and filled with water.

Philip was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and Fifth Sister covered her mouth vigorously and yelled indiscriminately.

Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit?

Philip complained irresponsibly. It is normal for Fifth Sister to be suddenly possessed by evil spirits in such a nonchalant manner.

He looked around and saw Fifth Sister holding a notebook in her hand.

With the development of science and technology, some documents will indeed be kept on paper, but things like private notes are generally recorded by electronic notes.

There is still such a retro thing now.

Thinking about it, Philip reached out to get the notebook, maybe it was the owner's note, maybe it would record something useful.

The notebook was held tightly in Fifth Sister's hand. Philip tried to pull it lightly a few times. Seeing that Fifth Sister did not dare to let go, he did not dare to use too much force. This notebook has been used for many years, and the paper is A relatively fragile material, even with the development of science and technology—he was afraid that the notebook would be torn apart accidentally.

As the two tugged, the pieces of paper stuck in the notebook scattered like snowflakes. Philip was startled. He was afraid that the notebook would be torn apart by him and Fifth Sister, so he hurriedly let go.

Fifth Sister didn't care about blaming Philip, and picked up all the papers while sniffling.

Fifth Sister's reaction was wrong.

Seeing her like this, Philip picked up the paper too.

It's a photo.

Philip picked up a piece of paper and looked at the people inside who were silent. It was obviously a family photo.

The people inside are mermaids.

Philip looked at Fifth Sister, and suddenly had an association. He counted the mermaids inside, eight.

One old, two young, five young.

The mermaid king has six daughters.

Philip suddenly remembered this sentence.

"This is... your house?"

Fifth Sister nodded silently.

How could it appear in such a place?People who will have a family portrait must be family members.

"Yes……"

"My mother." Fifth Sister hiccupped, "I don't have much impression of her anymore, I was still young when she left..."

Philip stared at the happy family in the photo and thought of himself for no reason.

Fifth Sister looked at the young mother in the photo: "But I'm still so sad."

Philip responded softly, "Yes." He said he was listening.

The Fifth Sister was chattering about what she knew about the Mermaid Queen, and Philip would echo each other from time to time, and the atmosphere between the two was quiet and harmonious for a while.

"That is to say, after your mother divorced, she came here alone and gave birth to Pearl?" Philip asked.

Pearl is absent from the family portrait.

"Yes, Pearlson is here...the environment here is really bad, no wonder she has been in poor health." Fifth Sister looked sad.Here, Pearl didn't know how much she had suffered with her mother.

"Pearl told me before, let me give you an admission invitation letter, saying that you have not been able to pass the exam."

"really?"

"Is there a fake one?"

Fifth Sister paused: "Forget it, you can't go back now, it's useless to say more."

Philip: "..."

After coughing a few times, Philip changed the subject: "Let's find out if there is any backup energy source. The queen has been living here, so there should be some left..." He opened his notebook and looked for relevant records.

The two of them rummaged through the notes, most of which were reminiscences and expressing the feelings of missing their five daughters who were far away in Lanxing, occasionally mixed with their own life records, feeling their own loneliness.

Philip: "I always feel a little weird."

Fifth Sister nodded, she also had this feeling, but she couldn't tell where it was.

The two flipped through the notebook again.

"Forget it, let's find energy and go back first." Philip put down his notebook, "I'll study this later."

The Mermaid Queen needs energy to live here.

The two found the queen's remaining energy and brought it to the airship.

Before leaving, Fifth Sister stood inside the house for a while, and reluctantly wiped everything inside before boarding the airship.

"Let's go back quickly, I'm homesick." Fifth Sister choked up.

At this moment, Philip suddenly felt a little envious of Fifth Sister. At least she still had a home to return to and miss, but he had been away for so long, but he never thought about it.

He was vaguely aware of his mother's death, and he really couldn't get close to that man.

The airship took off steadily. This time, Philip did not let Fifth Sister touch the console again. Fortunately, Fifth Sister has not yet come out of her sad mood, and does not care about Philip's attitude. went.

The automatic search found the location of the blue star. After Philip located it, he groped to drive there. Although he was half-baked, he knew not to touch it if he didn't understand it. , and let it go.

From the porthole, you can see the nebulous universe, looking at the blue star in the distance, the fifth sister looked at the notebook, and then turned her head to look at the blue star that was getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly realized a problem: this notebook, about Pearl There is not a single word in the description!

My mother is such a person who loves to record, even a dream can be recorded thousands of words eloquently. She flipped through it, and the word that appeared most often in this notebook was loneliness.

Will you still be lonely with Pearl's company?

Fifth Sister felt a palpitation for no reason.She thought about everything in the wooden house, and the furniture inside seemed to be still in front of her eyes.

——The furnishings in the house are all for one person, and there are no traces of another person's life.

Fifth Sister stood up abruptly, alone!Mother often speaks of loneliness.

What about Pearl?where is she?Hasn't she lived with her mother for many years?

A problem occurred to her. Pearl had never said anything about her mother.

Dr. Julie said that it was because of her poor health that she lost her memory after multiple surgeries.

... But Pearl appeared on Blue Star with Dr. Julie back then, right?

How is this going?

Who the hell is Pearl?Where is she from?Why is no one suspicious of her identity?

Fifth Sister was in a state of confusion, and she didn't even know she had reached Lan Xing.

Everyone said that Pearl was their youngest sister, born of the mermaid queen, but the mother's notes did not mention this. She could write so much about a single dream, and wrote about everything she did every day.

If Pearl was really born, she must be taken care of. Why is there no record of this?

Does eldest sister know about Pearl?Does father know?Does grandma know?
