Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【The whereabouts of Mu Qiu's parents】

Just when the blue and white mechs were about to approach the gray fortress, several tall guard mechas suddenly appeared outside the fortress. The first time they saw the blue and white mechas, they showed their weapons without hesitation.

The four missiles behind also pursued aggressively.

Mu Qiu grabbed Chu Qingtian's arm, his whole body was extremely calm.

Chu Qingtian moved his fingers like flying, and tapped on the operation panel quickly - he even had the strength to show a comforting smile to the guide.

There seemed to be the sound of missiles piercing through the air, and there was probably the smell of burning dust.

The beautiful mech seems to have become a pile of scrap iron in the eyes of the enemy.

Mu Qiu seemed to hear the enemy's grin.

In the blink of an eye, when the blue and white mech was about to face the enemy's mech, it slid sideways, perfectly avoiding the laser gun of the mecha guard, and at the same time dodged the full blow of the homing missile.

There was a loud "bang", and a huge mushroom cloud appeared where the blue and white mecha was originally located. The flames shot up into the sky, and scorching air waves rushed towards it.

Taking advantage of the shock wave of the explosion, Chu Qingtian deftly turned around, broke through, and flew towards the jump point without hesitation.

Mu Qiu tacitly sensed his intention, and stretched out his spiritual tentacles to the maximum extent, wrapping around Hong Niang's body.

Just like when he came here, Mu Qiu's eyes went dark, and he jumped out of the transition point smoothly.

-

For some unknown reason, the other party did not chase him out.

Mu Qiu was greatly relieved.

When we returned to the Treeman planet, there were already two familiar figures standing at the port of call.

Mu Qiu jumped off the spaceship, ran to Li Yan, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Yan, why are you here?"

Li Yan looked at him reproachfully, but didn't speak.

Mu Qiu felt extremely guilty, and secretly glanced at Dahl.

Dahl has always been a sentinel who dotes on children, but at this time he couldn't stand Mu Qiu's pitiful eyes, and reminded him in a voice that he thought was very small: "Yan already knows where you are going."

Mu Qiu smiled embarrassingly, and no longer concealed it, "Uncle Yan, I found something and wanted to verify it——I didn't say it because I was afraid you would be worried."

Li Yan still looked angry, ignored Mu Qiu, turned around and walked back.

It was only then that Mu Qiu realized the seriousness of the matter - in his memory, Li Yan was like a big brother who never put on airs of an elder, so this time...

Mu Qiu followed behind with guilt and doubts, followed by Chu Qingtian, who had been glared at by Li Yan several times, and Matchmaker, who felt that he had lost the fight and was depressed.

Dahl chased after him without fear of death, and said good things to the proud guide, "Yan, you were always worried about Qiuqiu before, why are you unhappy now that the child is back?"

Li Yan glared at Dahl, and continued to sullenly, not speaking.

Dahl made persistent efforts and "quietly" reminded with a voice that four people could hear. "Didn't we discuss it before? We need to tell Qiuqiu about that..."

Hearing this, Li Yan immediately stopped, and said seriously: "I've changed my mind now—don't say a single word!"

"It wasn't you who said it before, Qiuqiu is also grown up, and there are sentries, so she should know the truth—"

Li Yan interrupted Dahl's lobbying, looked at Mu Qiu with some disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "I thought he was old enough to have a reliable sentinel, but I didn't expect that neither of them would take their lives back Things—where is the asteroid belt? You can go there if you want?!"

While Mu Qiu was moved, he felt a little guilty at the same time - because he didn't want to be blocked, he deliberately didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that this way of doing things would make the elders even more worried.

It's no wonder that Li Yan is angry - probably because of worry!

After realizing this, Mu Qiu took the initiative to go to Li Yan's side, and told out exactly what he saw today.

After Li Yan heard that they were almost hit by missiles, he didn't care about being angry at all, but pulled Mu Qiu up and down to look around, and kept asking, "Is there any injury?"

Mu Qiu's nose was sore, but he tried his best to put on a relaxed posture, "We ran away without even scratching the skin of the mech. Uncle Yan, don't worry, it's fine."

Only then did Li Yan heave a sigh of relief, and squinted at Mu Qiu, as if he wanted to get angry but lost the time, which felt a little funny.

Mu Qiu took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Yan, do you want to tell me about Mom and Dad?"

Li Yan sighed, "Originally I had some clues, and I wanted to tell you—now it seems that you are still too reckless, if you take risks because of my words, I will not be able to face senior sister in the future."

Mu Qiu grasped the meaning beyond Li Yan's words, and asked anxiously: "Uncle Yan, you mean...my mother..."

Li Yan looked at Mu Qiu and nodded with a complicated expression, "I'm just guessing."

"Uncle Yan, can you tell me? Why do you have such a guess?" Mu Qiu asked impatiently.

Li Yan took the initiative to hold Mu Qiu's hand, and said seriously: "You have to promise me that you will not be impulsive after listening to it, and discuss with others more about anything."

Mu Qiu nodded repeatedly, his amber eyes stared at Li Yan expectantly.

Li Yan sighed, simply sat on the ground, and told Mu Qiu all the events of the year and the later speculations.

Things start seven years ago.

Dahl was also called "Dals" at the time, and he was an instructor at the First Federation Military Academy. He also served as a special party member in the military secretariat. From time to time, he would receive some urgent and secret missions, and he had a bright future.

Once, he received a special escort mission, and Shangfeng's order was to send it to the second civilian channel of the Draco Constellation at the designated time, try to find a way to get on the earliest civilian spaceship, and then arrange another connector.

Compared with Dals's previous life and death, such a task can be described as extremely simple.However, just to be on the safe side, he still decided to go out in person.

The process was as smooth as Dales had expected.He successfully delivered the item to the connector, and the other party had nothing to doubt.

Originally, the matter could have ended here, and Dals could still return to the military academy and be an instructor who was born as a commoner but respected by the students. He would still complete some beautiful tasks from time to time, and write down one stroke after another in the merit book. Just wait for the right opportunity to move up.

All the changes began with a very coincidental encounter - he met a guide who was very compatible with him - of course, Dals was not fascinated by beauty or anything, he had already had Li Yan at that time , the relationship between the two of them couldn't be better.

The reason why the guide attracted Dals' attention was because of the mental fluctuations of the other party - Dals was almost sure that the other party's mental fluctuations came from a guide who was very familiar with Li Yan and the two families maintained a good relationship later on - — Catherine.

However, it is well known that Catherine, the guide, died seven years ago because of a spaceship kidnapping accident, and her orphan is now studying in the juvenile class of the Military Academy.

What puzzled Dals even more was that the appearance of the other party was completely different from that of Catherine—however, the mental fluctuations were extremely familiar!

Under all kinds of doubts, Dales made a rather unprofessional decision-he stayed on the spaceship and wanted to have more contact with that "Catherine".

The result of the contact naturally didn't yield anything. For some reason, the other party seemed to have a lot of considerations, so it was probably inconvenient to say more.

This made Dales even more puzzled.

Just when he wanted to investigate in depth, for some unknown reason, a hat of "treason" had already been pressed on his head.

After Mu Qiu finished listening, he remained silent for a long time.

Li Yan didn't say anything, giving him enough time to digest.

It seemed that after a long time, Mu Qiu spoke again, but the question had nothing to do with his mother, "What was Uncle Daer escorting?"

"Medicine." Dahl said decisively, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes at the time, judging from the size, quality, and storage method, it should be undoubtedly medicine."

"It was said... to be sent to the second channel of the Dragon Constellation?" Mu Qiu continued to ask.

Dahl nodded, with a slight smile on his face, presumably because he was pleased with Mu Qiu's keenness.

Mu Qiu looked at Chu Qingtian excitedly, "Could it be that... it is indeed in that space castle?"

Chu Qingtian showed a thoughtful look.

No one knows better than him that the second channel of Draco seven years ago happened to be in the direction of the tree-man planet, and going to the tree-man planet would inevitably pass through the asteroid belt; later this channel was blocked, and the reason given above was The danger of the asteroid belt is intensifying, and insects and beasts appear frequently.

——Thinking about it now, the time was not long after Dahl's accident, and I don't know if there is any connection between them.

Mu Qiu and Chu Qingtian exchanged glances, and after thinking about it, they finally told about their dreams and the last letter they received from their father.

It can be seen from Li Yan's expression that he did not doubt the authenticity of Mu Qiu's words at all.

He just stroked the little mole behind Mu Qiu's ear repeatedly, amazed again and again.

On the contrary, Mu Qiu was a little puzzled, "Uncle Yan, don't you think this is... weird?" At first, even he himself didn't believe it.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "That's because you don't know how famous your father is—how could Mu Changhong, a young genius and the first academician, be stumped by a small biochip?"

"Then why haven't I received similar news for so many years?"

"You can probably think of the reason!" Li Yan sighed, "Firstly, the imperial capital is hundreds of thousands of light-years away, even if the signal is transmitted, I don't know when it will be received; secondly, Mr. Guarantee your safety, if you are not [-]% sure you will not try—you also said that their current situation may not be very good, at least, they are not free."

Li Yan looked at Mu Qiu's expression, and turned to comfort him: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Mu and senior sister Catherine are very capable. Since they can persist until now, it can be seen that they have their own methods - since you We have already explored the way, and it is not difficult to go in again, we need to plan carefully, and there is no rush at this time."

It has to be said that Mu Qiu was really comforted by Li Yan's words, as he said, parents are not that weak.

Mu Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, recalling what Li Yan said just now, he suddenly realized, and asked in surprise: "Uncle Yan, what did you mean just now... agree to let me go to that castle?"

Li Yan glanced at him angrily, "If I disagree, will you go?"

Mu Qiu stuck out her tongue childishly.

Li Yan poked his forehead, "Since this is the case, why not help you find a way!"

Mu Qiu grinned and laughed.

How fortunate to meet these people in this life!

Originally, the atmosphere was just right, but suddenly there was a sharp sound above the head—the alarm from the Treant Planet was sounded by someone.

Chu Qingtian's face changed, and he reflexively protected Mu Qiu behind him, and then opened the terminal to check the location where the alarm was triggered.

Dahl did the same.

Behind them, the two guides looked at each other, worried but not afraid.

What should come, will always come, just face it.
