Autumn in the federal capital planet is the most comfortable season of the year, and the cool sunlight illuminates the entire bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows.The whole room was neat and clean to the point of being awkward, but the big bed, which was half soaked in sunlight, was messy and fluffy.Charon sleepily crawled out of the bed, completely naked, and his skin was coated with a layer of honey by the warm light, lazily walked to the side of the mirror, wrapped his arms around the person who was dressing from behind, and slid his hands into his body. Under the unbuttoned shirt, he bit his ear and said, "Do you have to go to class on the rest day?"

Half of Erlin's face was warmed by the sun, and his delicate facial features were no longer as cold as usual, giving Charon an illusion of unreal affection.He couldn't help reaching out to touch that cool face, but he was pushed to the side of the bed.Alyn turned his back to the sun, put on his shirt in an orderly manner, and reached out to take the lab coat on one side to cover it.Charon fell into the bed, propped his head up with one hand, and watched Erlin pack up his things motionlessly: "Hey, I'm so sad that I won't recognize anyone after getting out of bed."

"At this point, you don't want to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps," Alyn stuffed the campus card into his pocket, pulled the quilt away from Charon and folded it, with no expression on his face, "Let's go, you You can find a bar and find a gentle and charming bed partner to continue sleeping."

Charon reluctantly rolled over from the bed, picked up his clothes on the floor, and put them loosely on himself.Alyn was ready, standing at the door, hooking the key with his finger, Charon walked to him, he closed the bedroom door, and walked into the living room together.

The results of last night's battle still remained in the living room: the cups and fruits on the coffee table rolled everywhere, and some tea was poured out and flowed all the way to the floor.Two beer bottles were broken beside the sofa, two chairs were upside down near the balcony, and the tablecloth was also tossed into a corner, making a mess everywhere.Erlin paused, frowned slightly, and walked towards the dining table.

Charon also stopped, asked "what's the matter", and saw Alyn squatting down, picked up a photo album from the ground, wiped off the water on the surface with his sleeve abnormally, and then carefully stood it on the dining table beside.In the album is a group photo of him and Ogg when they were young. They stood in a well-tended garden. Ogg put a hand on his shoulder. He looked in the direction of the camera with a slight smile on his mouth.Charon watched the scene from beginning to end, and finally his gaze fell firmly on the photo.They have been "dating" for more than a month, and in his memory, Alyn has never smiled like he did in the photo album.

Charon himself also finds it incredible that he has made countless bed partners, but it is the first time that he racks his brains to make his bed partner smile, or stay in bed with him all the time, making him laugh. Cry, let him wrap himself tightly.So when Erlin turned around, he stiffened again, leaning his waist against the edge of the dining table, and when Errin came over, he suddenly reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, picked him up completely, and turned over and pressed him on the dining table .

Errin's arm was knocked, and he flinched in pain, trying to kick Charon down.Charon grabbed his ankle, sucked the place where he was knocked, and said vaguely: "I changed my mind, those people are not as good as you."

"I have an experiment to do," Alyn said, "You..."

Charon laughed, blocked his mouth while untying his belt, skillfully wrapped him up, and quickly aroused the lust of the person under him: "I will accompany you to do the experiment..."

……

"Already close to the destination, start the wake-up procedure; already close to the destination, start the wake-up procedure..."

Charon was forcibly dragged back from the memory, the hibernation chamber slowly opened, and the air scrambled into his lungs, irritating his stiff body.He suddenly sat up from the nutrient solution, lying on the edge of the dormant cabin and retching with a splitting headache, a spherical robot slid to his side, and slender hands helped him out of the dormant cabin, and said in a high-pitched voice: " You can no longer project memories, you have reached the limit of your brain."

Charon was stunned for a while before remembering this AI called "Tuanzi" who he "knew" on the copper coin planet. His brain started to work slowly, and with a hmm, he rushed into the bathroom to vomit all his bile, and rushed into the bathroom. After taking a shower, he got into the cab uncomfortablely wrapped in a towel.The robot came over and injected him with a balance agent, supervised him to drink a cup of hot nutrient solution, pointed to the spectacular galaxy not far away, and said sternly: "This is the unnamed galaxy you are looking for. The edge of the universe is an undeveloped 'no man's land', and you may be a civilized person who arrives here."

Charon looked at the various data sent by the spacecraft. There are a total of [-] million stars in this galaxy. According to the coordinate information he obtained, the search scope can be narrowed down to the five planets in the center of the galaxy.This trip was too long, and his brain was still immersed in the dormant memories that lasted three months. After throwing down the documents in his hand, he stared at the various materials posted on the control panel and walls of the cab in a daze.It took him more than ten years to search for this information from the clues. What kind of things did Nin hide in the copper coin planet? .The man was so careful that many times he completely broke the thread.And it was precisely because of these clean hands and feet that he firmly believed that that person was still alive for more than ten years, and the distance between him and him had always been only the distance of a few documents.

Charon reached out and tore off a note with the coordinates of this place he had written down four months ago.Four months ago, he tracked down a suspicious transport spaceship on Copper Coin Planet. The spaceship stopped several times, and finally came to this uninhabited land secretly, which gave him a little hope again.He asked the robot: "How many is this?"

The robot said, "46."

Charon said: "46 is a good number, I think I will be lucky today."

The robot jumped onto the control panel and quickly adjusted the route of the journey for Charon.The spaceship circled a star and flew straight towards the target coordinates.Charon simply put the chair down, wrapped the bathrobe tightly around his body, and covered his face with the information.The robot said: "When you were sleeping, I received a few emails from Ares, do you want to open them?"

"Say something?"

"A letter from three months ago, his second son was born, and the eldest son entered the Achilles Mecha Military Academy, asking when you can come back to meet his sons. A letter from two months ago, He resigned to go to the United Nations, and he told you to go back quickly. The letter from last month said that your brother Carl got married."

"En?" Charon opened his eyes, "Married? What kind of person is he?"

The robot called up the picture and zoomed in on Charon.The person in the picture has a very delicate face. At first glance, the eyebrows and eyes are similar to the person he dreams of, but after another look, the person in the picture has a very soft expression, with omega The unique fragility is far from that person's fierceness and indifference.

Charon stared at the photo for a while, turned off the interface, and said nothing.The space is always so quiet that it makes people crazy, and the time seems to be endlessly stretched, and even the desire to speak is completely diluted.He lay down quietly for a while, then got up and changed his clothes.

The robot opened the 3D map, and five planets within the range of the coordinate information appeared in front of his eyes, which were a little different from what he had imagined.There is a triple star in the five, closely revolving around the star.The remaining two stars are farther apart.There is a small blue planet hiding inconspicuously in the corner.

"Of the five planets, only this one is suitable for habitation. The oxygen content, water content and temperature are very suitable." The robot pointed to the blue planet. "Civilization should have already been produced."

Charon controlled the spaceship to circle this small planet. It was so exquisite and delicate that it took less than 3 minutes to circle it.Soon, some parameters of the planet and the approximate distribution of land and sea were sent to the panel.The gravity index is kind, but the ocean coverage is a bit too wide, almost at 95%.The only piece of land is like a real isolated island, standing in the vast blue.The spaceship picked a relatively secluded place and began to descend, landing in a small forest.Because of the salt, the leaves of the trees here are very large, covering up the small spaceship almost instantly.Charon put on his space suit, and the robot became the size of a bee and landed on his shoulders, slowly descending from the spaceship.

"Ah, it's so kind, it's like coming home." AI said in his ear, "You can take off the space suit, and there are very few bacteria in the air, just like the earth hundreds of millions of years ago."

Charon walked through the woods with some difficulty, took off his helmet and took a deep breath of fresh air: "Your hometown is Earth?"

"It was a long time ago," it said, "now the planet of copper money is the home planet of AI, and I love it."

This sentence reminds Charon of many things, humans and clones, humans and artificial humans, humans and AI, war and short-lived peaceful coexistence.The struggle for survival is an eternal truth, no matter how advanced the civilization is, it just makes the interpretation of this curse a little more exciting.He walked in silence for a long time, thinking about the r-11 that had been turned into ruins after the war, and suddenly stopped, squatting down and pinching a handful of soil.

It is very quiet here, and you can clearly hear the sound of the sea and the sound of the leaves rubbing against the wind.And when he listened carefully, there seemed to be a familiar shout in the wind, very soft, up and down in the wind, but it gave him a very familiar feeling.His heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly missed a beat. He was stunned for a while, and asked Tuanzi, "Did you hear that?"

It said, "Interesting, someone is calling you in the Common Tongue."

The voice was getting closer and closer. This time, Charon clearly heard a woman's voice, very clear, moving in his direction, calling his name: "Charon? Charon Where are you? The teacher is going to be angry!"

Charon thought he was dreaming, and probably never thought that he would be called by his name in a common language on a small planet in no man's land when he was dreaming.And soon, the owner of the voice appeared in his sight.A woman with dark skin and bright eyes pushed aside the huge leaves not far away. She was wearing very simple clothes and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. When she saw Charon, her eyes lit up and she immediately made a face With a very stern look, he walked up to him and scolded: "You even took the teacher's clothes? What does the teacher usually teach you?!"

Charon stared in surprise at the woman in front of her, who acted as if she knew him completely and what he was wearing.His mind raced through many possibilities rapidly, and after a certain unthinkable conjecture popped up, it began to grow crazily.He tried his best to suppress his violent heartbeat, lowered his head, and pretended to be very guilty.

"Let's go back first," the woman turned and walked out of the woods without any suspicion at all. "It's really outrageous."

Charon followed her footsteps, AI whispered in his ear: "She is a clone."

Charon's blood poured out, his hands clenched tightly into fists.The woman was still talking, she stopped and waited for him for a while, walked side by side with him, and said earnestly: "Don't keep fighting with the teacher, if he really doesn't like you, how can you let him Are you his assistant? He let you do the position that so many people dream of? So, ah, I really don't understand what you have to complain about."

Charon was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was so hoarse that even he was surprised, and asked her in a low voice: "What's the teacher's name?"

"En?" The woman glanced at him, "The teacher is the teacher, didn't he say that he doesn't have a name... Ah, you've been so weird recently, tsk..."

The woman stopped suddenly, grabbed Charon's shoulders, leaned over and stared straight into his eyes with bright and pure eyes, and began to "tsk tsk tsk": "Tell me secretly, do you also like the teacher? ?”

Charon couldn't speak, stood like a puppet in a daze, and suddenly smiled softly, the corners of his eyes were like peach blossoms blooming, and the woman opened her eyes in surprise: "Well, I have liked him for a long time .”

The woman let go of him with such an expression, and continued babbling while walking: "You are so strange, just say it if you like it, what's the use of being awkward? Didn't the teacher teach us that since we can't have children , we must enjoy life well, and chase whoever we want. You see so many people write love letters to the teacher every day, don’t you want to make the teacher hate you? Let me tell you, I think you are the most popular among those people. There is hope, the teacher treats you differently from others, you may not feel it, I am a woman, I am more sensitive to this than you..."

With a sudden turn, this grove came to an end without warning, and after the last leaf was pushed away, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a large-scale village between modernization and non-modernization came into view.Before entering the village, someone greeted them from a distance, a little boy jumped up in front of them, and the woman patted his head: "get out of class is over?"

The boy glanced at Charon with devious eyes, pulled him to bend down, and said in his ear: "The teacher looks very bad today, brother be careful to be scolded!"

"Okay," the woman pulled the boy, "go back to dinner."

The boy made a grimace and ran away in a hop.The two walked into the village, and people kept saying hello to them.The houses here can be seen to be built by themselves. Most of them are one or two floors. They are very rough, but they have different styles. It is simply filled with leaves, like a model in the hands of a performance artist.Many people living in the village have the same face. Charon even saw four people who looked exactly the same as the woman who led the way, but they all had different colors of hair, different styles of clothes, and different temperaments. very big.Most people are preparing dinner with strange ingredients, and there are people kissing on the side of the road, or cuddling and chatting.When the two of them walked through the village, many people stared at the clothes on Charon's body, their eyes were different, but there was no malice.To be more precise, everyone looked happy, with eyes as clean as the sea.

Charon felt that his chest began to swell and heat up, and even his eye sockets began to turn red and hot, but his heart was unexpectedly calm, as if all these things were taken for granted, as if he knew what he was looking for a long time ago The things are here, but it is only now that I have time to revisit the old place.He could even imagine how that person built this place step by step: shouldering the responsibilities left behind by Nien without saying a word, searching for suitable places all over the universe, and then bringing them here from the copper coin planet bit by bit , teach them knowledge and survival skills, build this village, and then accompany them here, or find a clone partner, and walk with them to the end of their lives...

"Eh?" the woman whispered, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you worried? This is not like you, besides, a gentle person like the teacher will not really scold you, after all, there is only one you in the whole village, go quickly Admit your mistakes, and have dinner with the teacher again."

They stood in front of the only three-story building, clean and clean with no decorations, but with a small garden behind it.The door of the room was not closed tightly, and the furniture inside could be vaguely seen.The woman pushed him from behind, and Charon stepped forward as if waking up from a dream, blinked vigorously, and pushed open the half-hidden door.

There was a familiar figure standing with his back facing him, his hair had grown to his shoulders, he seemed to be a little fatter than he remembered, his back was straight, and his hands were gently placed on the table.Standing in front of him was a man who looked exactly like Charon, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was listening to a lesson, and whispered: "Teacher, I was wrong."

"Well, don't want it next time." He said, then turned around and met Charon's eyes straight.

Charon looked at this face that he had dreamed about for more than ten years, as well as himself reflected in his rapidly shrinking pupils, the hot eye sockets cooled down instead, and he couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart. Walked two steps forward, stood one meter away from him, stared at the corners of his eyes that were beginning to become slack, and said softly like they first met in the military academy decades ago: "Nice to meet you!" ,teacher."
