Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

Chapter 80 The Tower of London Part 3

[a bad feeling]

Mary Rhine nodded to Mu Qiu, her elegant smile was impeccable.

Of course, this attitude is no different from treating passers-by on the street. It has nothing to do with who you are facing, it is just the friendliness and elegance that the other party usually shows.

It can be seen that the children love this great Mary guide very much, with a little admiration and joy in their respect.

Teacher Lisa was even more excited and panicked, running back and forth to organize the students to say hello to Guide Mary.

Guide Mary said some words of encouragement to the children kindly and even lovingly, and of course Mu Qiu was not ignored. In short, it was perfect from beginning to end.

But Mu Qiu felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. Little Luobo quietly hid behind Mu Qiu, silently looking at Guide Mary who bent down and stroked the children's heads.

"Qiuqiu, I don't like this person." Little Luobo whispered in Mu Qiu's spiritual realm.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Mu Qiu comforted the little guy with mental waves.

Guide Mary seemed to sense something and looked over keenly.

At that moment, Mu Qiu clearly caught a trace of sharpness in her eyes, however, that eye wave quickly disappeared, and Mu Qiu almost thought it was his own illusion.

"Guide Mu Qiu, I often hear Kade mentioning you, he admires you very much!" Mary Laine stood up straight and looked at Mu Qiu with a full smile.

Mu Qiu also responded with a polite smile, "Thanks to Senior Kade's praise, this period of time has indeed caused him a lot of trouble."

Mary Rhine smiled deeper, looked at Mu Qiu with dark brown eyes, and said meaningfully: "What a good guide! How is it? After the training, are you interested in staying and working in the Tower of London?"

Mu Qiu didn't expect that the other party would send out such an invitation suddenly, he coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "It's every guide's honor to work in the Tower of London—but unfortunately, my sentinel is serving in the Tianlong team ..."

Mary Laing looked at Mu Qiu and shook her head, the smile on her face remained undiminished, her attitude was as if she was treating a kind junior, and she joked, "As expected of a student from the Military Academy, what a cunning fellow!"

Mu Qiu was slightly taken aback, surprised at how well the other party understood him.

An accompanying female guide with a gentle temperament said at the right time: "It's really special to see a robot-shaped spirit body for the first time!"

When Xiaoluo saw that she mentioned him, she came out from behind Mu Qiu and nodded politely to her.

"It's really smart!" The guide couldn't help but burst into a big smile.

Mary Rhine's expression didn't change at all, but her eyes lingered on Little Carrot for a while.

Mu Qiu couldn't help being vigilant, and the little guy stood still, without showing the slightest timidity. He didn't want to embarrass Qiuqiu.

However, nothing happened.

Mary Rhine smiled and praised Lisa again, and then led a group of people to the next classroom.

Mu Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief - he didn't know what he was nervous about.

"Are you a fan of Wizard Mary?" Teacher Lisa suddenly approached him and asked with bright eyes.

"what?"

"I was also very nervous just now. I really wanted to talk to her, but I didn't know if it was appropriate—ah, I adore Guide Mary!" Teacher Lisa's state is definitely a little girl.

Mu Qiu didn't explain, but smiled as if tacitly acquiescing - being nervous because of admiration is indeed a good reason.

-

After dinner, Chu Qingtian helped the children hang decorations on the wall in the soundproof room, while Mu Qiu was still thinking about the day.

Mary Rhine, the hero in the eyes of the guide, was praised and admired by everyone, and she was indeed kind and decent. However, Mu Qiu didn't know why she had a bad feeling.

How about asking Simon?He grew up in the imperial capital and joined the upper class, so he should know more things.

It wasn't until Simon's surprised face popped up on the virtual screen that Mu Qiu realized that he dialed it involuntarily.

"Qiuqiu! Have you settled down?" Simon still looked elegant, gentle and carefree.

However, after seeing Mu Qiu's expression clearly, Simon couldn't help but put away his smile and showed a worried look, "Qiuqiu, are you unhappy? Could it be that someone is embarrassing you in the Tower of London?"

Mu Qiu quickly smiled and explained: "No, I was just thinking about something."

Simon pursed his lips, obviously not believing it.

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, "It's true, if something really happened, I'll tell you guys, and I won't hide it."

"Then what were you thinking just now? The expression is so...serious."

"About Guide Mary..." Mu Qiu said truthfully, "I saw her today."

"Mary Rhine?" Simon said with a look of indifference, "Although she is the nominal principal of the guide school, I heard that she seems to be very busy. Except for the opening ceremony and graduation ceremony, other times it is very difficult. Saw it at school."

"So, I'm pretty lucky. I met him on the first day of class." Mu Qiu joked.

Simon pouted, and said indifferently, "Are you lucky? Qiuqiu likes Wizard Mary?"

"No, you know, I don't know much about it—but I've been hearing for the past two days that she's well-known and respected among the guides."

Simon let out a "huh" and said more pertinently: "Maybe it's because she gave up her marriage to do research, so the guides are very grateful to her."

"do research?"

Simon nodded, "Don't you know Qiuqiu? The disruptor used to cover up the guide's breath was researched by the team organized by Mary Guide - it is a mixture of certain substances extracted from animals and plants, which can to a certain extent until The effect of interfering with the sentry's judgment... However, if you keep using it, there will be certain side effects, so most guides and sentries will not be used again after combining..."

Simon played the attributes of the mobile knowledge base and started popularizing science with Mu Qiu.

"If I remember correctly, you mentioned before—the fusion agent was also invented by Guide Mary?"

"To be precise, it's her team—the Rhine family has a scientific research team mainly composed of guides, and the research project is also dedicated to potions and items related to guides—speaking of which, the fusion agent is an exception, and it seems to be a failure of a certain research. It’s a tool, but it’s surprisingly easy to use.” Simon made a rare joke.

Mu Qiu smiled cooperatively, feeling more and more that Mary Rhine did have a reason to be respected.

"Is Simon also a fan of Guide Mary?" Mu Qiu asked with a smile.

Simon shrugged and said bluntly, "No."

"Oh?" Mu Qiu smiled, "I heard that almost all the guides of the younger generation in the Federation regard her as the goal of their efforts!"

"Isn't there no Qiuqiu?" Simon also smiled with crooked eyebrows, pretending to be mysterious, and said, "Qiuqiu, let me tell you a big gossip - the reason why Guide Mary has never been married is not to 'improve the guide. 'situation and fate' or something - just because the person she likes doesn't like her."

Mu Qiu raised his eyebrows—he really is a veritable "big gossip"!

I have to say that after chatting with Simon, Mu Qiu's mood improved a lot.

When exiting the terminal, he accidentally saw Li Yan's communication number. Thinking of this straightforward uncle, Mu Qiu couldn't help smiling, and simply dialed it.

However, it took a while for the video to connect, and there was no figure of Li Yan on the screen, only panting voice could be heard.

"Qiuqiu? I heard that you have gone to the imperial capital. How is it? Are you still used to it?"

Mu Qiu showed an embarrassed look, wondering if he should hang up immediately.

"Qiuqiu? Why don't you speak?" Li Yan's sweaty face appeared in the corner of the screen.

Mu Qiu cleared his throat, and said awkwardly: "Then what... Uncle Yan, otherwise... let's talk at your convenience?"

"It's very convenient for me now!" Li Yan said naturally.

Mu Qiu Black Line—Are you sure?

Seeing that he was silent, Li Yan adjusted the screen down.

It was only then that Mu Qiu saw clearly that the place where he was at this time was probably the thorn forest?

Because, surrounded by thorny trees, Banban was holding a chubby panda with great difficulty on a nearby branch, desperately trying to get to a higher place and throwing it.

Uh... Mu Qiu's ears turned red quietly - well, it seems that he wanted to go wrong.

Speaking of which, the black and white thing in Ban Ban's arms... rolling?

Gun Gun is Banban's spiritual body, and Mu Qiu personally "delivered" the baby—however, he was obviously thin before, but after only a few months, he is so fat that he can't even find his neck!

Li Yan still looked tired, and while helping Ban Ban to send the panda to the tree, he complained to Mu Qiu: "You don't know how lazy this guy is, except for moving his mouth when eating, he can't sleep when he sleeps." It's just sleeping, I don't even bother to change my position——ah!"

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, "So, is Uncle Yan forcing it to exercise?"

"That's not it!" Li Yan wiped off the sweat that didn't exist, and said humorously, "It turned out that I didn't exercise for it, but Banban and I... put in a lot of effort!"

Mu Qiu laughed happily, and just remembered a serious matter, "By the way, Uncle Yan, how is Banban doing recently? I'm talking about the talent of a guide."

Li Yan spread his hands helplessly, "You also know that I am not with him, and there is nothing I can teach him except common sense."

Mu Qiu took the opportunity to continue: "I do know a friend, who has good ability and character, and has golden tentacles like Banban, but now he is on Tianlong 3 - it depends on Uncle Yan's reluctance."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "What kind of friend?"

"It can be said that it's a life-and-death relationship!" Mu Qiu said without hesitation, "The Wolfe family has a very good family background, knowledge, and character. Although they are not too young, they are just right to be Banban's teacher. "

Li Yan showed a look of surprise when he heard the word "Wolf", "The one who gave each of you a mecha?"

Mu Qiu nodded, and couldn't help laughing—it seems that this meme has spread to the tree people planet.

Li Yan patted his thigh and said boldly: "Not only is it suitable, it is simply too suitable!"

Mu Qiu showed a strange expression, "Uncle Yan, don't you like his mecha?"

Li Yan snorted through his nose and said deliberately: "Otherwise?"

Mu Qiu shook his head, he should have known that since he was a child, this uncle hadn't been very... serious.

"Uncle Yan, are you really willing?" Mu Qiu asked seriously.

Only then did Li Yan put away his joking expression, and said equally seriously: "It's for the sake of the child—of course, I have to discuss it with Banban..."

Mu Qiu nodded.

Li Yan sighed, "Actually, what I'm more worried about is...Your Uncle Dahl is reluctant—you know, we can't go to the gene bank to apply for an incubating cabin with our identities. especially Dar, Banban is like a caring little padded jacket to him, closer than me."

No one understands the feeling of being separated from one another more deeply than Mu Qiu—maybe, for Ban Ban, staying by her father's side is more important than learning a skill?

At this moment, he even began to regret mentioning Simon.

Li Yan quickly adjusted his mood, and mentioned something to Mu Qiu, "Qiuqiu, do you recognize the Chinese pagoda tree in the north of the base?"

Mu Qiu noticed that Li Yan used the word "knowledge", and obviously regarded the big pagoda tree as an existence equal to human beings.

Li Yan said to himself: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid this is the only Chinese locust tree in the whole interstellar world, right? -By the way, he said he is from your hometown... Does 'old village' mean hometown? ?I do not know how?"

Regarding this question, Mu Qiu was not yet ready to show his cards to everyone, so he simply changed the subject, "Uncle Yan, it seems that you have already talked with Dahuaishu, did he ask you to bring me a message?"

"Qiuqiu is smart." Li Yan's eyes were full of admiration, "He said he gave you a chance to bring your man here, and he has something very important to tell him—does 'your man' refer to Chu Qingtian? ?”

Mu Qiu nodded, although the big locust tree has been here for hundreds of years, the language habits have not changed.However, it’s okay, at least there is a “person” who can speak the local dialect.

Li Yan grunted, and said to himself: "Qiuqiu, you have to train for half a year, right? I don't think he's in such a hurry, and it doesn't matter if he comes back after half a year—we'll even talk about Ban Ban at that time."

Mu Qiu nodded obediently, and decided to turn around and talk to Chu Qingtian, to see if he could contact there directly.

"Hey, it's agreed, I'll come over after the training - you know, it's not convenient for Dahl and I to move around, and if you haven't come, uncle still misses you." Li Yan said somewhat unnaturally.

Mu Qiu felt astringent in his heart, and nodded emphatically.

-

When Chu Qingtian entered the room, he clearly felt that the guide's mood seemed a little depressed.

"What's the matter?" He leaned down and kissed the guide's forehead softly.

Mu Qiu raised his face and took the initiative to greet her.

Chu Qingtian unceremoniously grabbed those soft lips and deepened the kiss.

One intends to seduce, the other is willing to accept, and the two of them come and go, almost shooting each other out. If it wasn't for Chu Qingtian thinking about Mu Qiu, a kiss would not end.

"Planning to get away with it, huh?" The sentinel pressed the man in his arms, showing a threatening expression.

Mu Qiu pouted, "I didn't intend to hide it from you."

"About school?"

Mu Qiu shook his head, "I saw Mary Rhine, and I feel... not so good."

Chu Qingtian shrugged, "It's natural - people who rely on their families to gain fame and then serve the family in turn, of course they can't compare with my Qiuqiu."

Mu Qiu looked at him suddenly, wondering: "You seem to know something..."

Chu Qingtian nodded, and did not intend to hide from Mu Qiu, "Today, Pumpkin and I used the school's database to check the instructor of Dals, oh, he has changed his name to 'Dar' now."

"How about it?"

"Instructor Dahl was wronged back then." Chu Qingtian said with certainty.

Mu Qiu sat up abruptly, and asked eagerly, "How did you find out? Is there any evidence?"

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, and pulled him back, "Didn't we already know that he was wronged? Why did you react so strongly?"

"I think, if there is evidence, can Uncle Dahl and Uncle Yan be like normal people...Where do you want to go?" Mu Qiu asked expectantly.

Chu Qingtian shook his head, "It's not that simple. In fact, Lu Xun and I have been investigating this matter since we came back from Feixuexing, and all the clues were broken at the place related to the Rhine family. Uncle was convicted after escorting the scientific research results of Mary Rhine's laboratory."

Although Mary Rhein's laboratory was advertised as serving the guides, it was actually the private property of the Rhein family—of course, it was indeed true that it had provided a lot of convenience to the guides over the years.

Mu Qiu quickly thought of a possibility, "In this way, do they have some ulterior purpose that Uncle Daer knew about? Or, because they were afraid that he would know, they simply killed them to silence them?"

Chu Qingtian nodded solemnly, "Very likely."

"I didn't hear Uncle Yan mention it!" Mu Qiu wondered.

Chu Qingtian sighed, "Maybe he doesn't want to involve you in it! ——The specific situation will be known when we meet next time."

"Just right, I was chatting with Uncle Yan just now, and we made an appointment to go to Shuren Planet after the training."

Chu Qingtian nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Mu Qiu mentioned the matter of the big pagoda tree, and Chu Qingtian promised to contact the people there tomorrow to ask about the situation.

Mu Qiu wanted to say something, but was blocked by Chu Qingtian - with a warm and domineering kiss.

After the kiss was over, Chu Qingtian said in a hoarse voice: "Go to bed early, we have class tomorrow—the day after tomorrow is the weekend, how about we take the children out shopping and listening to plays?"

Mu Qiu blushed and smiled, "Don't the sentries hate shopping the most? The sound of voices, the smell of perfume, and the crowds coming and going, can you bear it?"

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, and smiled triumphantly: "Who told us to have children? This is the difference between a married sentinel and an unmarried sentinel!"

Mu Qiu gave a "cut" and said with contempt: "Why don't I know when you got married? With whom?"

Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his lips, changed the ring on his middle finger to his ring finger in front of Mu Qiu, and said in a low voice, "As long as you want to marry, I will marry you at any time."

Mu Qiu's mental realm trembled, but he showed a disgusted expression on his face, "Let's talk about it when you decide to 'marry'!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but put the plain and unpretentious ring back on his middle finger that was regarded as a treasure by the sentinel.

"Alas—" the sentinel sighed exaggeratedly, and spread it out on the bed.

With a smile on his face, Mu Qiu nestled into the firm embrace of the sentinel, patted that handsome face, "Good boy~~"

"Alas—" the sentinel continued to sigh, looking hopeless.

Mu Qiu twisted his body, closed his eyes happily, and fell asleep peacefully.

In the darkness, the sentry adjusted his posture lightly, and hugged the guide tightly, feeling extremely satisfied in the spiritual realm.

-

Mu Qiu met a particularly fun kid named Jia He in his class.

Like Lin Qing, Jiahe has black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and a round face. He is of Chinese descent with relatively pure blood.

The fun of Jiahe is that she loves to sleep too much.

Mu Qiu noticed him because of this.

In the theoretical class, the children (including Mu Qiu) formed a circle, and Teacher Lisa danced and gave lectures in the circle.

To my great shame, Mu Qiu didn't notice what Teacher Lisa said at all, and all his attention was attracted by the little fat boy next to him—that little guy with a round face, with his black eyes open and his head a little bit Dozed off a little bit! ——The amazing thing is that although the eyes are open, the little guy is really, really asleep!

In the outdoor class, other children are actively leading their mental bodies to run around, either trying to make friends, or trying to attract the attention of the teacher or Mu Qiu (don’t doubt, Mu Qiu’s classmate relationship is very good)—— ——However, the kid Jiahe found a big thick tree, took his spiritual body with him, and fell asleep soundly.

Mu Qiu generally doesn't like such a child who doesn't make progress—of course, it doesn't mean that "dislike" is so serious, it's just that he doesn't like it too much.

However, Little Carrot really wanted to make friends with him.

"Hehe is like Banban! Luobo is Banban's friend, and he must also be Hehe's friend!"——this is the exact words of little Luobo.

Mu Qiu really didn't realize the similarities between the chubby Jia He who loves to sleep and the white and thin Ban Ban who loves to work.

As far as the only similarity is concerned, the mental bodies of both of them are giant pandas—yes, Jia He’s spiritual body is also a black and white giant panda.

During the meal, Mu Qiu told Chu Qingtian like a joke.

But Chu Qingtian asked very seriously: "A child of the Lin family?"

Mu Qiu was taken aback, "How do you know?" Jia He's surname was indeed Lin, but he didn't mention it to Chu Qingtian.

"The spiritual body belongs to the giant panda, and only the Lin family in the imperial capital, and most of the descendants of the Lin family are pure Chinese blood." Chu Qingtian said while eating, "However, it seems that there is only one person who has awakened the talent of guiding for hundreds of years. There's a stir—how old is that kid?"

"About... seven or eight years old?" Mu Qiu said uncertainly.

Chu Qingtian nodded, "That's right."

Mu Qiu suddenly remembered that Ban Ban's spiritual body is also a giant panda—since this kind of spiritual body is so rare, Ban Ban's life experience...

Mu Qiu didn't know if she was thinking too much.
