Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[The road is one foot high and the devil is one foot long]

With a dark face, Bieber walked all the way to the top floor of the administration building, and pushed open the door of the legion commander without making a report.

In the house, besides the head of the Arctic Legion, Hot Rhine, there was also a thin young man.

Although Bieber was in a bad mood, he was respectful when facing General Rhine, "Grandpa."

Looking at his stern face, Hot Rhine couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little helpless.

"What's the matter?" Although the voice was not young, it was full of vigor.

Bieber didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the young man next to him, and said coldly, "You go out first." He didn't even call his name.

The man seemed to be used to his attitude, and there was no expression on his young face. He subconsciously looked at General Rhine.

General Rhine nodded at him, "Since your cousin has something urgent to say, Rhodes, you can come back another day." He made no secret of his partiality.

"Yes, Grandpa." Rhodes put away the information board, and gave a military salute to Rhine, his face was very calm from the beginning to the end.

After Rhodes went out and closed the door from the outside, General Rhine looked away from him.

He leaned back on the back of the chair and found the most comfortable position. Although he was looking at Bieber from the bottom up, the aura around him was not to be underestimated.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Bieber opened his mouth, and couldn't help being angry, "Grandpa, I'm worried that Chu Qingtian has already figured out a countermeasure, and the guide of Tianlong team may not be available—we should also take action as soon as possible!"

General Rhine looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

Bieber lowered his eyes and called out weakly, "Grandpa..."

General Rhine was unmoved on the face, but his heart softened three points.

"Wei Yang must have told you that the guide and Chu Qingtian are more compatible than me and Nalan. The last time Chu Qingtian was able to come back from Feixue Xing alive, it was probably because of this person." Bieber's eyes Can't hide my jealousy.

General Rhine spoke with a tone that could not be heard, "Bieber, tell me honestly, you have been targeting Chu Qingtian all the time because you are worried that he will be harmful to the legion?"

Bieber pursed his lips, and said unabashedly: "I didn't like him at all—if it wasn't for him, how perfect our family would be! It's all because of his appearance that broke everything, not even Dad. like him!"

General Rhine sighed, his grandson was at least honest.

"When this matter is resolved, go back and see your mother. She said she missed you during the video call the day before yesterday." General Rhine said a little tiredly.

Bieber's eyes lit up, knowing that this was a promise, "I will, thank you grandpa!"

General Rhine waved his hand, unwilling to say more.

Bieber also gave a military salute, but he was obviously absent-minded.

General Rhine looked at his back, unconsciously compared with the other, and sighed again, at least, this one is dear.

Draco Constellation, Dracon 3 star.

The two guides Card and Luna brought seven or eight staff members to the Tianlong team's station with detectors.

In order to save time, they applied for a special waterway and drove a streamlined variable-speed spaceship. The Tower of London did this way of doing things not once or twice, and the military department approved it very quickly.

Chu Qingtian and others had no experience in this field. When the sentinel on duty reported someone visiting, Mu Qiu was still taking a nap.

Chu Qingtian woke him up, and Mu Qiu hurriedly put on his clothes, and after a brief wash, he went into the infirmary with a bunch of dull hair.

"Oh, my God, he looks like he just came of age, is he really 24 years old?" a red-haired, delicate-looking female guide exaggeratedly exclaimed.

Elsa said respectfully from the side: "Qiu is indeed 24 years old, Teacher Luna."

Mu Qiu scratched his ears, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Luna, Asians look small in appearance. Don't make a fuss, so as not to scare the children." Another male guide said gently, and nodded friendly to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh, it's really enviable." Luna stepped forward and gave Mu Qiu a big hug unexpectedly. Her soft body exuded a bright aura, and Mu Qiu froze.

With a dark face, Chu Qingtian pulled back his froze guide.

Luna shrugged, "The Sentinel's desire for exclusiveness is really unlikable." Although she complained, she still had a smile on her face.

Mu Qiu felt her emotions and nodded apologetically to her.

Luna raised her eyebrows, "Oh, what a sensitive little guy. The talent must be good."

"Then let's test it!" Kade said at the right time, "Mu Qiu, are you ready? Do you want to have breakfast first or... take a rest?"

Although they said so, just from their posture, it can be seen how insincere such a suggestion is.

Now that such a decision has been made, there is nothing to hesitate.Mu Qiu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and said "righteously", "Come on!"

"Hehe~" Not only the two guides, but even the staff who had been silent all along laughed.

Card pressed his hand affectionately, and led him to sit on a chair with no discernible material—I thought it was metal at first, but both the seat surface and the backrest are soft, and they will follow the body's movements Change shape slowly.

memory metal?A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Qiu's eyes, the Tower of London is really a mess.

Several staff members swiftly opened the lockboxes one by one, only to hear the sound of "Kaka" splicing for 3 minutes, and a never-before-seen instrument has been assembled and placed in front of Mu Qiu.

"Federal R-37 detector." Card patted the bookcase-sized instrument and introduced it to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu stretched out his tentacles and probed curiously—yes, since he entered the infirmary, his tentacles have been kept outside to prevent the other party from noticing his hidden skills.

Next, blood, hair and nails were taken, and the whole body was scanned.

A set of procedures is meticulous and cumbersome.Those people had obviously done it very skillfully, and their movements were always gentle and smiling, which didn't make Mu Qiu feel any discomfort.

The spirit wave of the guide was calm, even comfortable, and Chu Qingtian gradually relaxed.

Card glanced at him, and couldn't help showing a gentle smile—every time he went to check on a guide's house with sentries, he always experienced the experience of being guarded and hostile all the way, and he couldn't get used to it no matter what.

The biggest advantage of the federal R-37 detector is that the results are produced quickly.It took only 15 minutes from when Mu Qiu sat on the chair to when the data was displayed on the electronic screen.

Luna's white fingers slid the screen, and her face gradually burst into undisguised amazement, "Oh my god, what a talent!"

Card was also watching from the sidelines, with a warm smile on his face, "Healing ability is A-level, aggressiveness is also A-level, and affinity is S-level—maybe it can't be called 'great', it's 'very good'. "

Mu Qiu was taken aback—not only Mu Qiu, but everyone in the room was a little surprised except Kade and his party.

"The current technology is so advanced? The talent of the guide can measure the level like the sentinel?"

Luna blinked and teased, "It's already there, thanks to the great teacher Mary."

Mary Rhine, even Mu Qiu knew this name—the daughter of the Rhine family, the honorary principal of the guidance school, she was over forty and still unmarried.

The reason why the Tower of London and the Federation didn't force her to arrange sentries was all because of her contribution in the field of wizard research.It is no exaggeration to say that Mary Rhine is the role model and goddess of all wizards.

"Seriously, my dear, don't you plan to change jobs?" Luna started poaching corners in front of Chu Qingtian.

Mu Qiu smiled, and politely refused, "You know, I can't help but be with my sentry."

Luna spread her hands, showing regret, "I knew you would say that."

At this time, Card read the data from beginning to end again, his expression was not as relaxed as Luna's, but rather dignified.

"Qiu, you have such a talent that will definitely attract the attention of the headquarters—perhaps, they may transfer you directly. Judging from the information that has been released so far, no one has reached the S-level affinity. Of course, like The information of high-status guides like Mrs. Mary is kept confidential, and there may be S-ranks among them."

Mu Qiu frowned, "You mean, I might be transferred to the headquarters... Imperial Capital?"

Card nodded, and took a look at Chu Qingtian, "Don't worry, even in that case, your partner will get corresponding arrangements. Of course, the Tower of London will still be based on your wishes, so if you insist on staying If here, I will report it for you according to the normal procedure."

Mu Qiu nodded without hesitation, "I insist, I have never thought of going anywhere else. Teacher Kade, I hope you can convey this meaning."

Although he is always honored as "teacher" by others, but Mu Qiu's name is inexplicably sincere - is this the charm of S-level affinity?

Card smiled and nodded, "I will try my best."

Mu Qiu burst into a smile, and the tentacles of the spirit stretched out involuntarily to touch the other party, "Thank you."

Kade's spiritual realm fluttered, and he couldn't help laughing—he was actually influenced by a young man.

Behind him, a staff member secretly bumped into another person's shoulder and whispered, "He's really charming."

"No, I was stunned when I didn't see Mr. Card!"

Only then did Mu Qiu realize that what he did seemed a little offensive, so he quickly withdrew his tentacles with a embarrassed expression.

Chu Qingtian glanced at the whisperer with a cold face, warning in his eyes.

The other party immediately shut up.

Kade heard it too, but he didn't get angry at all, instead he smiled deeper—they were right, Mu Qiu's affinity is really unparalleled, even his own mental body clamored to come out and get close to him.

Luna directed the staff to put away the instruments and data, came over and patted Mu Qiu on the shoulder, "Relax, a high talent is a good thing, Kade is the most tempered branch chief in the entire Tower of London, why would you be angry with you?"

It was only then that Mu Qiu realized how much the Tower of London attached importance to this matter, and the branch chief actually came over in person.

Then there are some inquiry procedures.

Mu Qiu calmly brought out the words he had thought up before, for example, his body was very adaptable to disruptors, and he could perfectly hide his identity after spraying it; another example is that his glands are not very sensitive, so even if he is awakened and two adults There is not much reaction at this important stage...

Originally thought that this process would at least be tense, if not bloody, but Kade's attitude has always been gentle and polite, like spring wind turning into rain.

Mu Qiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his impression of the Tower of London was much better.

Finally, Card said to him: "There is no problem with the identity information and the subsidy, and it will even be better than you expected. However, when it comes to job arrangements, I can't guarantee it, so wait for the news, I hope it will be as you expected." willing."

Mu Qiu shook hands with him and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the young and delicate Asian face in front of him, Card couldn't help but said with emotion: "If I can find more guides like you for the Federation, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it."

Mu Qiu could easily judge from his mental waves that this sentence was completely sincere, without any false elements.

Chu Qingtian finally let go of his tense nerves, and he had to say that he had a good impression of Kade, because the other party had a gentle and friendly attitude towards his guide.

After dinner, Chu Qingtian personally drove the aircraft to the interstellar port with Mu Qiu.

The husband and wife watched the wind-shifting spaceship turn into an afterimage in the night sky, and both heaved a sigh of relief.

"I hope there will be a good result." Mu Qiu said in a low voice.

Chu Qingtian pinched his ears, and said warmly: "Yes."

Mu Qiu turned his head to look over, under the starlight all over the sky, the figure of the sentinel appeared even taller, even shimmering faintly, like a god, making people inexplicably trustworthy.

-

Too many things happened in the past two days, and the scenes passed in my mind like a movie.

Mu Qiu suffered from insomnia.

Chu Qingtian didn't fall asleep either, he took off the ring on his middle finger, silently moved it to his ring finger, and turned it round and round.

Mu Qiu heard his movements and asked tentatively, "Are you awake too?"

Chu Qingtian hummed pretending to be in pain, "The sofa is too small, it hurts my back."

Mu Qiu's expression froze, he was silent for a while, and said viciously: "If you don't know how to restrain yourself, then...you are not allowed to stay any longer. If you can guarantee it, you can go back to sleep."

The guide's threat sounded like the sound of heaven in Chu Qingtian's ears at this moment. In the darkness, the sentinel flew directly from the sofa to the wooden bed with a stretch of his palm.

"You—" Mu Qiu was startled, and screamed involuntarily.

There was a rustling sound in the living room, and the pumpkin opened a crack in the door and called worriedly, "Qiuqiu?"

Mu Qiu hurriedly lifted the person off his body, and said with a trembling voice: "I'm fine, I accidentally bumped my head just now." Obviously still in shock.

Fangfang's screen flickered, and Pumpkin said "Oh" innocently, and said carefully: "Then Qiuqiu sleeps obediently, don't lift the quilt."

"Okay." Mu Qiu replied "obediently".

Pumpkin then gently closed the door and returned to her own small room——Chu Qingtian carefully remodeled the living room, making it the bedroom of the little ones.

On the upper bunk, little radish kicked her calf, sleeping soundly, but the quilt stepped on her feet.

Pumpkin sighed softly, and pulled the quilt up for him.However, as soon as he turned around, he was kicked off again.

Pumpkin glanced at the giant wolf lying down next to it. Its thick fur looked very warm.

"It's better to sleep with Dahui." So, he took the little guy off the wooden bed and gently placed it on Huimang's belly.

Huimang curled up, surrounded the little guy tightly, and nodded gratefully to the pumpkin.

"Good night, Big Gray," whispered Pumpkin.

He looked up again at the little green vine hanging in the air, and helped it put the hanging vines into the flowerpot, "Good night, little leaf."

There is also the little snow lotus soaked in the nutrient solution, the pumpkin gently fished him out, put it in a soft basket, and then tightened the lid of the nutrient solution, "Good night Xuewa."

After doing this, he returned to his little bed softly, pulled the quilt under his chin, closed his eyes, and felt extremely at ease.

-

in the bedroom.

Chu Qingtian held the guide's waist, and said in a low voice, "Qiuqiu, when the spirits were united, I saw some pictures. Is that the place where you once lived?"

Mu Qiu wanted to explain this matter a long time ago, but Chu Qingtian's question was quite tactful, but he said bluntly: "You should have seen it, that was my previous life."

"So, you carry the memory of your previous life?"

Mu Qiu gave a "hmm" and asked a little nervously, "Is it a little strange?"

Chu Qingtian felt his nervousness, kissed him comfortingly, and then said: "Not really. When I was studying the sentinel course at school, a teacher once said that there are some things that have not disappeared among the stars. Souls, they were all very powerful people during their lifetimes, some souls retained their memories during their lifetime, and some retained some of their abilities even though they lost their memories. trembling."

I have to say, although it wasn't words of comfort, Mu Qiu was really comforted by him.He smiled softly, "I'm not strong at all."

"Affinity." Chu Qingtian reminded.In the memory of Mu Qiu's previous life, those children liked him and trusted him, this is the clue of affinity.

"May I tell you about the past life?" Mu Qiu suddenly had the urge to tell.

"I can't ask for it." Chu Qingtian replied in a low voice.

So, Mu Qiu talked about the things on the earth, including the technology, social structure, the concept of the country at that time, and people's ordinary jobs and abilities.

Finally, he talked about his life experience.

"I have been living in an orphanage in my last life since I can remember. Do you know that an orphanage is a place similar to a school, where homeless children with no parents and fathers are adopted, and there will be kind people donating money I donate things, I don’t eat very well, but I won’t starve to death, and if I’m lucky, I can still study... But, without parents, there is no home.”

Mu Qiu unconsciously explained a few more words.In the interstellar era, there is no such institution as an orphanage. On the one hand, people generally live a long life, have a high single rate, and a low birth rate; Files are built in the library, and their blood relationship can be easily determined through genetic comparison, so there will be no situation where parents cannot be found.

"I feel very, very lucky to have met my parents in this life. I must find them." Mu Qiu said firmly.

Chu Qingtian kissed his forehead and promised, "I'm with you."

Although the words were simple, Mu Qiu could feel the other party's determination from his mental waves.

In the past 14 years, no one has ever said "together" to him, and he never thought that someone could be with him.

"Thank you." Mu Qiuhong narrowed her eyes, trying not to let tears fall.

Chu Qingtian kissed the corners of warm eyes, and said with a light smile, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Qiu couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

"This," Chu Qingtian shook the ring on his hand, "is it also the custom of the previous life?"

"You knew already?"

"I checked some information."

In the interstellar era, people don't pay much attention to marriage. There are many couples who just live together and don't think about getting married for the rest of their lives. Even if they get married, they just go to the civil affairs agency to register. Wedding rings - only big families would consider these.

The meaning of wedding rings has been gradually forgotten by people in the long history, and some of them can only be found out in ancient books.

Mu Qiu took off the ring on his ring finger and put it back on his middle finger, "It can only be worn on this finger after the wedding."

"You want to have a wedding?"

Mu Qiu nodded, "In my previous life, although homosexuality was legal in the country I lived in, same-sex marriage was not protected by the law and would even be discriminated against. I was... born, and I dreamed of having a wedding with my partner. A fair wedding."

Chu Qingtian thought about it carefully, and found nothing similar to "partner" from Mu Qiu's previous life memory, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and replied decisively: "Okay."

"When do you want?" Chu Qingtian said again.

"A wedding must be witnessed by relatives. Is it okay after you find your parents?" When he said this, Mu Qiu was a little apprehensive. He didn't want Chu Qingtian to think that he was using his parents as a condition of exchange. .

Fortunately, Chu Qingtian's mental waves were very stable, without any chaotic emotions. When he heard the other party say, "Listen to you", Mu Qiu was relieved.

Where Mu Qiu didn't know, Chu Qingtian secretly planned to ask Qianliyan and Shunfenger to investigate this matter early tomorrow morning, find his father-in-law and mother-in-law as soon as possible, and marry him back home as soon as possible!

Captain Chu touched the ring on his middle finger, and tried his best to resist the urge to move it to his ring finger—it was said in the book that only a ring worn on his ring finger represents a married person, and he will have to make one for Qiuqiu later on. ——Although it's not as realistic as completely binding people, but he can't stand Qiuqiu's belief in this!

-

Early the next morning, Mu Qiu received a video call from Card.

"Guide Mu, let me tell you a good way to disappear." In the video, Card still smiled gently, "The headquarters agrees that you stay in the Arctic Legion, and you don't have to go to the imperial capital, for the time being."

Even if it's only "temporarily", Mu Qiu is already very satisfied.

He found that Kade was dressed very homely, and the background didn't look like an office. "Thank you for telling me such good news. I'm sorry for delaying your vacation time."

"As expected of a very talented guide, he is really keen." Kade blinked, his face full of admiration, "Oh, I can't bear to let the children wait anxiously, so I can only use a small authority to notify you in advance-wait for you After having breakfast and drinking a cup of hot tea, the letter of appointment will be placed on your desk. Well, hurry up and tell your sentinel the good news!"

"Thank you, Teacher Card, I wish you a happy life!"

"You too." Card smiled and turned off the video.

Chu Qingtian came out from the blind spot of the camera, and the two looked at each other, both heaving a sigh of relief.

-

Just like Card said, after Mu Qiu had finished his breakfast, drank a glass of prickly juice, and followed Chu Qingtian to the office, he really saw the new letter of appointment on the desktop.

There was a row of sentries standing in the room, and everyone had suppressed obvious anger on their faces.

Mu Qiu sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and picked up the communication board suspiciously.

The finger inadvertently touched a certain point, and two windows popped up on the panel one after another—there were actually two copies of the appointment letter!

Mu Qiu - transferred from the post of mechanic of the Tianlong team to the branch of the Arctic Legion of the Tower of London, and will take up the post immediately.

Chu Qingtian - transferred from the position of commander-in-chief of the Tianlong team to the Secretariat of the Arctic Legion, and will take up his post immediately.

"Secretary, you uncle!!!"

Aubrey punched the comm board.

The communication board let out a sharp chirp, and the next moment, debris flew everywhere.

Mu Qiu didn't dodge, his hands were numb from the shock.
