Alternative Rival

In the year 3072 of the star calendar, Tianxiu star base zero - all the places where the rudimentary state has awakened, is undergoing a major event that has not happened in the past century. Some people will be sent to the Hall of Nightmare for execution.The death penalty is the highest penalty in the empire, and the death penalty can only be imposed after a military tribunal unanimously decides to commit a crime that is of great harm to the nation. Twenty years ago, there was a young man who set up a poisonous plan to force a contract and was sentenced to death, but there was not such a big battle at that time.

The guards lined up in two teams, all loaded with live ammunition, and their military appearance was regular. They escorted a woman who looked like a naive girl into the base. Walk forward step by step, completely unafraid of the imminent death.

Nightmare Hall is a pitch-black building. The beast-head door with its teeth and claws is like a monster's hideous giant mouth. The young people who come to visit every year keep a respectful distance from it. Few people have seen the door to cleanse evil open. .

The guards stopped in front of the door, and in front of them stood the same group of soldiers in uniform, headed by a civilian general wearing a major general's epaulets.This person is a woman, her appearance can be considered delicate at best, and her figure is too thin for a group of tall adults. If you don't look at her light gray eyes, she is almost the same as a baby.There is a world of difference between a civilian major general and a major general who actually leads troops. He is usually active in cultural troupes and TV interviews, and frequently makes comments on the military and politics. She, her name is Lin Jian, she is the youngest special-level researcher at the Gene Center and the current Chief Brain Engineer of the Military Department. The person who is going to be executed now was captured by her and several special forces.

"Luke." Lin Jian said coldly.

The woman in handcuffs tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders, slightly hooked her lips, and returned her familiar casual smile: "Here, Chief Lin."

Lin Jian was so sad that he almost couldn't continue with the next words.She didn't want to look at the person in front of her anymore, but she couldn't look away, and mechanically read out the final verdict of the military court that she had memorized thousands of times: "Luke, female, one year old, leader of the traitorous organization K .Crime 158: During his tenure as the leader, there were 73 bombings, 305 of which caused casualties, 1 adults and 95 child; Crime 32, [-] terrorist attacks, [-] casualties [-] cases... Colluding with the Pleiades, collaborating with the enemy and treason, causing it to create tools capable of subverting the battlefield, indirectly causing heavy casualties to our army, and having an irreversible impact on the current battle situation. Crime [-], colluding with senior military generals, murder..."

Her hands behind her back were trembling, and she took a breath of air from her surroundings with difficulty, and said, "After the unanimous decision of the military tribunal, the verdict is hereby, Luo Ke, to be executed by shooting."

"Bring it in."

The heavy black iron door opened slowly, and with a creak, Lin Jian's mind flickered, and his fingers pressed against the seam of his trousers moved slightly, and his memory returned to three months ago.

At that time, when Bo Jue saw the exit, instead of running forward, she turned around and turned back. No one knew what happened to her afterwards.The year Lin Jian came back was 3072, and five years had passed since the year she left. This time, she was far luckier than last time. She landed near a military base, exchanged a few words with the guard, and took out a magnetic card to prove her identity. , Soon someone came out and welcomed her in.Immediately afterwards, he contacted Jiang Han with the help of the communication facilities in the base.

That night, Jiang Han landed here in an aircraft, and the excitement could not be concealed on his handsome face.

It's just that the soldiers who came and went called him "Marshal". Lin Jian and the team members who followed were all at a loss. When did the marshal change?Jiang Han caught a glimpse, sighed softly, and explained: "The Marshal passed away suddenly, and the military department elected me as the new Marshal. It has been a year now."

Everyone present showed a sad look.

Lin Jian asked: "Go...Marshal Jiang, how old is it now?"

"In 3072, you have been away for exactly five years." He looked around at the twenty-odd people standing behind him, took a step back, and solemnly paid a military salute, "Thank you for your hard work, on behalf of all the Tianxiu people. thank you all."

Everyone straightened their bodies and returned the salute in unison.

Lin Jian said: "Executing the mission is hard work."

Jiang Han smiled gently, and then his eyes lit up: "Is this the royal family of Gu Tiansu?"

Yan Wugou has been hiding behind Lin Jian from the beginning until now, not daring to show even a strand of hair. For some reason, he feels unreasonable fear of this gentle and amiable man in front of him.

Lin Jian went behind his back, pulled him once, didn't pull him out, pulled him again, and simply hid to the side, telling him to expose his whole body, Yan Wugou let out a soft cry, shrank to the side, and He grabbed Lin Jian's sleeve tightly, for fear that the other party would throw him away.

Lin Jian patted the back of his hand to comfort him, and introduced: "He is the emperor's direct son. If there is anyone who can get the authority of the central government, it must be him."

Jiang Han took a step forward, Yan Wugou immediately screamed to stop him from approaching.

Lin Jian naturally excused him: "He's a bit cynical, and he's weak. He never likes to have other people approaching him. Forgive me, Marshal."

Jiang Han didn't show any displeasure on his face, and still said thoughtfully: "Then I won't bother you, the base has prepared a rest room, get a good night's sleep first, if there is something serious, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Jian and Yan Wugou shared two rooms, but Yan Wugou's room was obviously just a decoration. In this strange environment, he never dared to leave Lin Jian, let alone be alone. Sleeping in the same room, Lin Jian expressed his understanding and let him do this.

Just as he took out another quilt from the closet and put it on the bed, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"It's us."

Lin Jian ran to open the door in three jumps, Yan Ying and Fu Le walked in sideways, Lin Jian quickly closed the door again, and asked in a low voice, "What are you two looking for?"

Fu Le said: "The two of them are not here, we both think about it, and some things can only be discussed with you. We feel that the marshal's death is a bit weird, and Lin Lang's performance today is also weird. It felt like from the moment we came back, everything had an unusual tendency."

Lin Jian said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Fu Le said: "Ask General Ke Lan, but we have no way to contact him directly, it depends on you."

Her eyes and Yanying's eyes fell on the locked laptop on the desktop at the same time.Lin Jian understood, and sat down at the desk without even looking at the account number and password posted next to it, and logged into the military intranet in a few clicks, found Ke Lan's contact information on the intranet, and sent a video request.

Recently, the fighting has been relatively loose, and Ke Lan's side was quickly connected. A puffy bearded face appeared in front of the camera. When Ke Lan saw them, he was happy: "Oh, you are still alive. I have been there for several years. , I thought I would never see you little bastards again."

Ke Lan's words revealed a very important message. He was also one of the insiders of the secret operation back then.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "That's right, Lieutenant General, we have returned safely."

Ke Lan shook his head left and right in the video, said "Hey", and said, "It's weird, why do you feel that there are two people missing? What about the pretty little white hair? And the little conductor?"

"They didn't come back."

Ke Lan groaned, and muttered something in a low voice, but Lin Jian didn't hear clearly.She cut straight to the point: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we came back today and found that the marshal has changed. May I ask what is going on?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ke Lan's expression became a little strange, "Have you met that old boy Jiang Han?"

"See you."

"Then he should have told you that Marshal Zhao has passed away, and the military will naturally elect a new Marshal."

"But……"

"But what? Are you not Jiang Han's soldiers? How can you question your superiors' words without permission? Is there a soldier's basic professionalism? Is this how the school and the army educate you? Huh? Go back and everyone copy the military regulations Ten times, you have to write it by hand and send it to me in three days."

"Yes..." These are the three people who are downcast.

Yan Wugou came out of the bathroom. He had already changed into new clothes, just in time to catch a glimpse of the flashing image on the screen, and shouted in surprise: "It's amazing!"

After scolding the three of them, Ke Lan turned off the video call with his hands, and slowly sank into the back of the chair behind him.The marshal's "death" was not real death. When the country was in peril, she held a press conference that could be watched by all Tianxiu people in the interstellar world, and made the past of Tianxiu people public in one fell swoop.They were worried that this would cause panic among the Tianxiu people, especially the young ones. Unexpectedly, after the press conference was held that day, many people immediately signed up to join the army.Although the military department has repeatedly stated that the troops are sufficient to deal with it, the patriotic Tianxiu people did not listen at all, and immediately added a large number of soldiers to the Tianxiu military.

From then on, the Marshal seldom showed up, he didn't even go to the barracks very much, and stayed in the underground genetic research center all day, with her teacher Qi Lei.

A year ago, she disappeared, leaving only a sentence without beginning or end.

——I can't wait ten years, I'm going to find her now.
