Byron's Blade

The burning of all the corpses ended at 9 o'clock in the morning on September 28. After the fire was extinguished, it was time to clean up the large pile of ashes.The dredging of the moat is also a difficult task, but it is not very urgent.Ares was severely traumatized, and for a long time to come, Samuel would lead his 5th Division to be stationed in the Ares region to assist Creel in completing the aftermath.

However, all of this has nothing to do with the third squadron.All the soldiers of the No. 6 Squadron, who burned the corpses overnight and lay down to rest at 3 o'clock in the morning, only slept for 9 hours. At [-] o'clock, they received an order from General Friesman himself, and immediately returned to the Alta base to liquidate the matter. The merits and demerits of the task.

On the other hand, Lan Ni received a video call from her father, asking her to follow Sistine to return to the central city by helicopter immediately, and not to stay in the third squadron.If there is anything Lani fears most in this world, then it is probably her father. General Friesman personally gave instructions, and Lani did not dare to disobey.

But before she leaves, she has one more thing to tell Mu Li, and that is about the placement of Mary and Dora, the mother and daughter.

The two met secretly in Lanni's tent. The soldiers of the third squadron outside were nervously dismantling the tent and packing up their armaments, but no one cared about them.

As soon as Mu Li walked into Lan Ni's tent, he saw the mother and daughter wearing the camouflage uniforms of the Third Squadron, standing awkwardly beside Lan Ni.She was taken aback, and looked carefully at their necks, but the restraint collars on them were gone.

"Major, what's going on?" Mu Li asked.

Lan Ni smiled, and replied: "Since it is the person you want to save, you must save it completely. I have already asked Creel to use his authority to transfer the data of the mother and daughter in the Nine Gods system. It was completely changed. By the way, the restraint collars around their necks were removed with special instruments. Now, I will hand them over to you, and you will take care of them."

Mu Li froze in place, unable to react for a moment.

"Stupid." Lanny gave her an angry look, and then asked Mary and Dora to roll up their sleeves, revealing the bracelet ID on their right wrists, "Now they are both military members, Mary is your cousin, and Dora is Your nieces, who were originally civilians living in the Ares region, suffered a disaster because of this incident. Although they survived, their homes were destroyed. It happened that you were also in Ares, so they defected to you as an accompanying army The family will return to the city of Athena with you. How, I explain it this way, do you understand?"

So... Mu Li pursed his lips, bowed to Lan Ni, and said sincerely:

"Thank you Major for taking so much trouble, I don't thank you for your kindness, just say what I, Mu Li, needs in the future."

Lanny accepted her thanks with a light smile, and then said:

"What I want is not that you will go through fire and water without hesitation. What I want is very simple. I'm afraid you won't give it. I don't want to play too much tricks on you, but I'm afraid you don't believe it in your heart. It doesn't matter, time will tell people's hearts. "

She looked at the bracelet ID, and then said:

"There's not much time, so I'll just focus on the key points. There is one thing you need to pay attention to about the mother and daughter.

They are still traitors.Creel and I only modified their household registration information, and we have no authority to modify the traitor database of the Central Nine Gods system.So if they were checked by an iris scanner, they would still be detected as traitors.Fortunately, I have participated in the maintenance of Jiushen system, so I made some data manipulations, which can temporarily cover the uninterrupted scanning initiated by the bracelet ID, so that it will not affect their daily life.However, you need to pay attention to the National Medical Examination Day every month in the future. If you can escape, you must escape. If you cannot escape, you must notify me in advance, and I will try to do my best. "

"Is it possible to escape the national medical examination?" Mu Li asked in surprise.

"It's possible, but you need to issue a certificate and have a heavyweight guarantor testify. This kind of thing is very common in the upper class. Don't worry, I can arrange for you in this regard, or I can personally guarantee it. It doesn't matter. But not necessarily It works every time, which is why I asked you to give me early notice."

Mu Li nodded cautiously.

"Okay, now they are your relatives, and they will live in the family residence area of ​​the No. [-] Squadron along with you. You have a three-bedroom house in the family area. I have already applied for you. Although you usually have to live alone in the base, but you have four days off every month, you can go home and have a look at the subordinate area. This is the case for officers with families like Second Lieutenant Leon and Lieutenant Lu Diyun. I don’t know You can ask them."

"Well, I understand." Mu Li nodded.

Lan Ni looked at the bracelet ID again, then raised her phoenix eyes to look at Mu Li without blinking, and said:

"It's time, I'm leaving, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Mu Li opened his mouth blankly, not knowing what to say.say thank youWhat Lanny has done for her has long exceeded what can be expressed in two words of thank you. What is the meaning of saying these two words dryly?So what to say, say goodbye?I still want to say: I am not the Mu Li you want, please stop being so devoted to me.

After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. She will go back to the main city to continue to be her young lady and military scientist, while she will continue to stay in Athena as a precarious little officer.The gap between them was frightening to watch, and she didn't even have the courage to face it.

So in the end, Mu Li didn't say anything.

Lanny's eyes dimmed, but she still kept smiling:

"Then I'm leaving, take care, Second Lieutenant Mu."

She turned around and opened the curtain and walked out of the tent. Mu Li looked at the tent curtain swinging back and forth, his heart suddenly felt sour, and he subconsciously opened the curtain and rushed out, but was stunned.Unexpectedly, Lan Ni didn't leave at all, and stood outside the tent, smiling brightly at her, looking like a beautiful and cunning fox.

Mu Li's face gradually turned red, and he licked his lips in embarrassment.But there was not much anger in my heart, but a little inexplicable sweetness on the contrary.Lan Ni stared at her, then walked up to her with big strides, suddenly stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hands to hook her neck, opened her mouth to kiss her lips, and bit her lips hard, Mu Li Frowning, the sting spread, and the smell of blood filled his mouth.Lan Ni retreated and quickly distanced herself from her.

There were blood stains on her lips, as enchanting as a gorgeous rose, she gently opened her lips and said:

"You won't forget me this time, see you soon."

After that, she turned around and left quickly.

Mu Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and licked the bitten wound. He didn't know what it was like in his heart, but he was very uncomfortable.

She found that she seemed to... fell in love with someone she shouldn't...

***

On the evening of September 9, the No. 28 Squadron returned to Alta Base, and disbanded immediately after returning to the battalion. The officers and soldiers dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory to rest.

Captain Kris heard that Mu Li brought back two relatives, so she gave Mu Li a vacation and asked her to go home with her relatives to settle down in the family area.

The driver sent by Captain Chrissy drove Mu Li and Maridola to the officers' family area of ​​the third squadron. Mu Li's newly assigned house was six rooms 802, three rooms, two halls and two bathrooms. This is the rank of lieutenant. The largest house that can be allocated.The house is uniformly decorated, and you can move in directly with your bags.However, for Mary and Dora, they didn't even have luggage. When they were in Ares, Lanny had sent someone to get some necessary clothes and toiletries for them to take with them.

On the way back, Mu Li also asked the driver to take a detour to a nearby market and bought a lot of ingredients.After getting out of the car at this moment, Mu Li carried his luggage and ingredients, took the mother and daughter to the elevator, and arrived at the new home.

The anti-theft door still needs to swipe the bracelet ID to enter. The information of Mary and Dora has already been logged into the anti-theft door. Therefore, although Mu Li's hands are occupied by large bags and small bags and cannot open the door, Dora opens the door smoothly. The three Moved into a new home.

For Mary and Dora, entering this apartment-style building is a long-lost experience.Soldiers have a very high status in the Federation, so the treatment of military members is very good, and the decoration is exquisite. The quality of this house is excellent, as can be seen from the details.Mary's family used to live in such an apartment, and now thinking about it, it seems like a lifetime away.The deceased Captain Ellie Pisco had a higher rank than Mu Li. Even if Salir's benefits were not as good as Alta's, he should live no worse than this.

Mary and Dora have always been somewhat restrained, and they were very polite in front of Mu Li, and they didn't dare to exaggerate their movements, appearing tiptoe.Mu Li knew their psychology. It was normal for them to be helpless for no reason, and even the heavy shackles that had been carried on their bodies for many years were untied.Moreover, Mu Li did not seek anything from them, saving them was purely out of Mu Li's own kind heart.This unequal exchange makes it difficult for them to find a balance point, and they are still very unsettled.

Not long after entering the new home, after looking at every room, Mu Li made the first move to relieve their uneasiness.She picked up the few bags of ingredients she had just bought, handed them to Mary, and said:

"Sister Mary, I'm very poor at cooking. I don't know how to cook. I want to try your cooking. Please make it for me."

Mary glanced at her somewhat awkwardly, and seeing the gentle smile on Mu Li's face, she was sore in her heart, her tears welled up, she quickly lowered her head to take the bag, and replied:

"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you to eat, as long as you don't dislike my craftsmanship, let me do it for the rest of my life..."

"Well...it depends on how it tastes..." Mu Li said jokingly.

Mary sniffed, showed a simple and beautiful smile to Mu Li, and then carried the bag into the kitchen.Seeing this, Dora also hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, trying to help, but was stopped by Mu Li.The little girl looked at Mu Li at a loss, but Mu Li still said gently:

"Dora, no one has lived in our house since the decoration was completed, and there is dust everywhere. The two of us are responsible for cleaning and tidying up."

"Yeah!" Dora nodded desperately.

The two of them dusted, mopped the floor, and laid the sheets together, and they were extremely busy.The little girl also gradually let go of those restraints. Although she still didn't talk much, she smiled more on her face. When she saw Mu Li, she would definitely smile foolishly.Mu Li felt warm in his heart, as if he had returned to the old courtyard and saw Yaya and Aunt Pei again.The little girl smiled at her, and she couldn't help reaching out to rub her head.

Mary made dinner, and the three of them gathered around the table, eating together for the first time.Mary is of French descent, so her eating habits are also French, and she has excellent French cooking skills.Mu Li felt that he had really made a profit, and that he would really be lucky in the future.But Mary is still a little guilty:

"Second Lieutenant Mu, I'm not good at cooking Chinese food, maybe you're not used to it."

"It's okay, I'm not picky. After you learn Chinese food, you can cook it for me. Now I really don't want to eat Chinese food." Mu Li said this deliberately, and really saw Mary's face smiling again, nodded and said yes.

"Also, you two are going to change your address to me. I already call you Sister Mary, do you still call me Second Lieutenant Mu?" Mu Li asked with a smile.

"So... what should I call?" Mary asked.

"I'm your cousin, you can just call me Ali. Dora is my niece, but I don't want to be called cousin, so why not just call me Ali."

Unexpectedly, Dora shook her head and shouted directly: "Sister Ali."

Mu Li smiled: "Haha, this generation is messed up."

After eating, the three happily washed the dishes, and then each made a glass of milk, sat on the balcony, and chatted while looking at the night view outside.Since coming to this world, Mu Li has never seen the night sky and thousands of lights of this world as well as today.She was calm like never before, and the self-blame and nightmares that haunted her these two days were also temporarily forgotten.

She talked about her life experience with Maridola, true and false, mixing the original Mu Li with her current self.

"I don't know why I went to save you, I just did it. Maybe I'm really a little strange, but I am a lawful neutral person, but I can make such a move without being detected any changes in the deviation value of the faction I was in the orphanage in those years, and the dean's mother took good care of me. Her daughter was younger than me, and always liked to run behind me, calling me sister Li one by one. Later...they were gone...I Seeing you is like seeing them, maybe this is why I saved you." Mu Li said slowly, with a gentle and calm voice, making people want to get close for no reason.

Dora gently hugged her arm, leaned against her, pursed her lips with an expression of about to cry, and did not speak.

Mary leaned her forehead on her shoulder, and Mu Li could feel tears wet his shoulder instantly.

"I don't have any relatives in this world, so from now on, you will be my relatives?" Mu Li said slowly, looking at the low and dark night sky.

"Okay..." two weeping women, one big and one small, replied in a low voice.
