Abandoned Lover [Future]

The center of the abdomen hurts badly.Eugene rolled over under the covers, put his hands on his stomach, and curled up silently.

When he was drowsy and about to fall asleep again, someone sat beside him and combed his hair slowly with his fingers.

"...get up. Otherwise, breakfast will be cold."

Said it to him in a laughing voice.Eugene then opened his eyes and blinked slowly.

At the breakfast table, Eugene looked down at the food on his dinner plate.Quiche, English muffins, bacon, baked beans.The menu is typical and not difficult like a textbook.

"When did you learn?"

"While you're not paying attention."

The person sitting in front of him smiled, turned his head to look out the window, and lifted the coffee cup to his lips with pale and slender hands.The white curtains fluttered up, and the wind passing through the living room rolled up the other party's long hair, covering the remaining facial expressions of the other party.

Eugene didn't speak any more.The food that was cut into small pieces was sent to the mouth, unexpectedly without any temperature and taste.

...Probably still not good at learning.

Obviously thinking so, the dinner plate became clean inadvertently.Eugene put his hand on his upper abdomen, feeling the pain that still remained there.When he regained his composure, the person sitting in front of him had quietly disappeared.

He hurriedly turned his head to search, only to find that the other party had already stood on the balcony at some point, leaving only his back leaning on the railing.Perhaps it was because of the heavy fog that he couldn't see much of the scenery outside the window except for the vast expanse of whiteness.

"resemble."

He walked behind each other.

The opponent turned around.He could see the corner of his mouth raised, but the face of the other party seemed to be blurred by glare, so he couldn't see clearly.

He held out his hand towards him.

"come back."

He was puzzled by the quiver in his voice.

"... come back to the house."

The other party is just smiling.

The whistling of the instrument that should not be heard at this time faintly rang in his ears.Eugene didn't take back his hand.

"Stay here with me. Don't go anywhere."

Eugene tried to say this with a smile, but felt that the movement of reaching out was becoming more and more difficult to maintain.The howling sound became more and more obvious, and white lights flashed quickly before his eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere. So you stay here with me."

The person in front of him still didn't speak.

Tears suddenly overflowed from the eye sockets and fell to a corner that didn't exist.

"Stay with me..."

——The chest trembled sharply, and Eugene coughed up a mouthful of blood onto his oxygen mask.The white lights in the hospital corridor flashed quickly one by one above his head, and his whole body seemed to be run over in detail, the pain made him want to lose consciousness.Each breath sent a bellows-like throb back down his throat that sounded like a dying cry.It was as if through a hood, someone was shouting, he was still conscious, he still had physical signs.He wanted to see the figure of the speaker, but found that everyone's figure was blurred as if covered by a mask.

It hurts.

He thought in fragments.

I don't want to feel this pain anymore.

Don't touch my body anymore.

Let me rest.

I want to go home.

I want……

back to him...

Eugene closed his eyes slowly.

……

"Live, Eugene."

In the endless darkness, his most familiar voice came from afar, repeating intermittently and weakly to him.

"wait for me."

"Wait for my return."

He stood in a corner where he couldn't see anything, clutching the sentence that couldn't be touched by him, resisting the vortex that swallowed him downward.

……

hiss.

A vague electrical sound flowed past the ears, and several young female voices were talking far apart.footsteps.The sound of metal wheels scraping the ground.

Eugene lifted his heavy, almost glued eyelids.Dry eyeballs rolled around and looked at the monotonous white ceiling.It took him a few seconds to realize that he was in the hospital, and the noise that woke him up came from the back of his head on the left side, as if the communicator to the nurse's station had been accidentally touched.

"Palmer."

At the corner of the bed, someone called his name.He couldn't immediately associate the voice with which face.His mind, which had not been thinking for a long time, seemed to be churning together, and he worked hard to get this organ back to work.Fortunately, the visitor came forward kindly and helped him press the button that raised the upper half of the hospital bed.

When seeing the other person's face clearly, Eugene's expression fell into confusion.

"……teacher?"

The burning pain radiated from the throat, as if it awakened the pain nerves all over the body.Patricia Knowles graciously offered him a glass of water and sat down in the chair to his left.

"It's a good thing you survived." His teacher shook his head slightly. "They changed the blood in your body almost three times."

This sentence reminded Eugene.Why is he still alive?

... The memories that remained in his mind came to life.The last scene in his eyes was the escape capsule carrying "Annihilation" flying away, and Knowles, who had turned into a monster, eating flesh and blood on his shoulder.He clearly failed to stop her before falling into a coma, why would they be talking in such a scene now?What kind of absurd dream is this?

As if seeing doubts from his expression at this time, the female general put the unaccepted water glass directly in his palm.

"We are here thanks to you, Palmer."

She explained slowly.

"Your ability probably kept me awake for ten seconds at that time. Those ten seconds kept us alive."

Eugene frowned.He had no idea what she was talking about.

A small tired smile appeared on the female general's face: "...for more than 20 years, I have never told anyone about the ability I have acquired, and you probably don't know it either."

"Although it can only be used once, I can take other people's abilities as my own."

"I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission. But in the ten seconds you woke me up, I took your power over without permission."

The female general looked calm.

"I hope you don't blame me, Palmer."

"I don't think you can blame me."

Eugene slowly brought the water glass to his lips, his expression still somewhat empty.

"...What about Oblivion?" he finally asked. "Where is Sagran? How many people died?"

"It was delivered successfully, so we are now in a truce. No more people died because of you."

Eugene rubbed the bottom of the water glass with his trembling palms, once and for all.

"...How long have I slept?"

"Seventeen days."

Eugene showed an expression as if he heard a joke, and repeated: "Seventeen days."

He looked down at his wrist.The hand holding the water glass kept shaking. He thought it was because he felt cold, but now he realized that maybe his muscles had shrunk completely when he was motionless.

seventeen days.

He turned the word in his mind again, and suddenly raised his head to look at the female general: "... Where's Xiao?"

...the drinking glass was knocked over on his sheet.

Eugene tried to show a stiff smile to the female general, subconsciously pinching the sheet beside him with his weak hands.Judging from this expression, he himself didn't know why he was laughing.

"Where's Shaw?" he asked.

The female general looked at him.

"He is, he is my cyborg."

Eugene raised his right hand up, as if trying to reach a height.

"You should have seen him. He is tall and has long blond hair."

"He doesn't know anyone else...he's not very talkative...he should be here."

Eugene let out a shriveled laugh seeking a response, the corners of his mouth being forcibly pulled up and his confused eyes were put together, it wasn't an expression that one could bear to look at.

"He's my lover."

"Why isn't he here?"

"……teacher?"

Eugene murmured.

The female general reached out and took his hand.

"You're doing great, Palmer."

Her voice paused every word, but it seemed a little difficult when she opened her mouth.

"……You did very well."

……

Seventeen days ago, the White Tower.

Dragging his almost useless body, the cyborg looked up at the picture in front of him motionlessly, his long messy hair blocked his face, making his expression invisible.In the expanded field of vision, the rescue capsule was far away from the Valkyrie, and Eugene fell to the ground silently like a bird that had fallen.At that moment, before everyone could understand, the entire White Tower trembled, as if the sky had collapsed.

Jiev turned his head to look at the cyborg beside him, only to see that the other's chest was shattered inch by inch, and the burnt ends of his hair floated a little in the windless environment.The order to send someone to suppress it hadn't passed yet, but someone on the side spoke first: "... General Knowles...is he still alive?"

In the trembling picture, Knowles, who had previously been demented like a beast, stopped moving.The blood in her irises gradually faded, and her sharp nails regressed into a human appearance. Now she even tore off a piece of fabric from the inner lining of her uniform, and as she bent down, she tied it to Eugene's oozing blood. Inner shoulder.

The tremor of the White Tower subsided quietly.The biochemical man's lips parted slightly, and his body remained motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

"General Ziev, there is a medical squad on the ship that was supposed to be shot down! We can order them to come to the rescue right away, maybe General Arning..." The left behind Norse Army rushed forward to petition, but someone was in Tiev Sent before speaking.

"...There is no need for that." Si Song raised his hand and shook it slowly: "You have also seen what Arning did just now."

Dieff turned his gaze to him.

"The enemies who supported the alliance handed over the heritage that was originally planned to be recovered to the enemy, which would lead to the possible future invasion of the alliance by the enemy... This is a crime of treason that seriously violates Article [-] of the alliance constitution. The circumstances are extremely bad and should be punished by death."

Sisong still had an unchanging smile on his face.Diev frowned: "Corbin..."

"Aren't I right, General Tiev?" Si Song suddenly opened his eyes, but looked in Xiao's direction: "Before that, he already had a criminal record of absconding from the enemy's country with 0-level property without permission. Judging from the current situation, the fact that Alning collaborated with the enemy has been proven. Why waste medical resources until now?"

"Corbin, this is the same as our previous..."

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Si Song completely ignored Tiev's speech, turned his head to the side, and cast his eyes in the direction of the biochemical man: "Do you want to kill me? But if you still have the ability, I will Should be dead. Why don't you do it?"

Si Song's mask-like smile was full of sarcasm at this moment, and his eyes fell on Xiao's broken body: "Yes, inheritance, you can try to kill me."

The cyborg was silent for a second.

"……save him."

The tuned electronic voice said so.

Si Song withdrew his gaze.

"I'll make a deal with you."

Si Song turned and left.More and more people rushed up from behind, surrounded the biochemical man in circles, and pressed the latter to kneel to the ground.Diev hesitated to speak, but finally did not say a sentence to stop.

"General Tiev, I want to talk to you."

The cyborg repeated without giving up.

Tiev paused when he wanted to raise his legs to leave, and finally swung the cloak behind him abruptly, turned around and walked in front of Xiao with big strides, bent down, and clamped the other's chin almost resentfully.

"If you still have a star and a half of ability left, why do you need to negotiate terms with us? What bargaining chip can you give me now??"

During such movements, the bionic skin on the side of the biochemical man's face peeled off piece by piece, making the gray-blue eyes even more palpitating.

"I don't deny the previous point." The electronic voice without emotional ups and downs continued: "But I can offer you a condition that you won't refuse, and you also have the same reason why you don't want him to die."

Tiev's pupils tightened, and the restraint was relaxed for a moment.The cyborg silently stuck to Tiev's ear.

"...after all he's your only remaining son, isn't he, General?"

Dieff let go in shock.

The doomed cyborg knelt on the ground, raised his head with a blank expression, and repeated it again.

"So save him, General."

……

Eugene was taken to the top of the White Tower.

It seemed that the place he visited just yesterday had quietly changed its appearance at this time.

The empty space was divided by a transparent barrier. Eugene stood on one side of the barrier, and another tall figure sat on the other side with his back to him.

It was a humanoid silhouette over two meters long, and the shoulders seemed to be wrapped in flowing silver metal.However, the other party formed a chiseled V-shape from the shoulders to the center of the sternum. There was no metal body on top of it, only a slightly transparent white projection resembling a human head and neck remained.

...it wasn't an image of any that Eugene remembered, but he still knew his name.

"resemble……"

Eugene threw away the two guards beside him with all his strength, rushed towards the barrier like crazy, and smashed a bloodstain on it with his fist.The guards pulled his shirt from behind, and he frantically flung it off, hitting his head against the transparent wall while struggling.

"I'm here, Xiao, I'm here!!"

"I'll take you out right away, you wait for me, Xiao, you wait for me..."

"Xiao, Xiao... I'm right here, look at me, Xiao!!"

He growled with all his strength.

——Is it because of this barrier?Is it because of it that Xiao can't hear his own voice?

——If he used more force, if he could shake such a barrier, would Xiao be able to turn around?

—God, give me the strength to break down this wall.Let him look at me again.

—I'm standing right here.I kept our agreement.I'm back with you, so, so

"Look at me..."

The soldier pulled his hand from behind, and Eugene leaned forward, his feet firmly pressed against the ground, pushing his body forward inch by inch, touching the blood-smeared barrier with the corner of his forehead.He clenched his teeth tightly, his voice was about to be choked by external force, steaming hot tears fell from the corners of his red eyes.

And within the barrier, the silver-white figure finally turned around slowly.

The projected unfamiliar face is like a blank plaster statue, with no eyes or emotions on the all-white face.

He looks at him.

Eugene suppressed his tears, refusing to let his tears blur his vision at this moment.

After looking at each other for a short while, he only slowly turned his head and returned to the motionless sitting position before.

……

"When you were in a coma, Tiev unearthed a rare body in the mine star RZ162. It is said that it is the original body of that legacy."

"They removed the legacy chip from the cyborg and put it in the original body."

"But before that, Xiao... seems to have given up his sense of autonomy and set himself up as a weapon for the alliance to use."

"On this condition, you survive, Palmer."

The words spoken by the female general in the ward echoed in Eugene's ears.

"The current legacy doesn't seem to retain the previous memory."

——On the White Tower, Eugene's soldiers were pulled to a stagger, and they found that their watchers, who were almost insane before, lost their resistance in an instant, and now they just knelt down on the ground in a slump.

"It's over. You can go back to being a human being, Palmer."

The female general told him so.

"……you're free."

……

In the cemetery of fallen heroes in Green Star Rhino Bay, the tomb of General Sigmund Arning is covered with flowers.Every day, people spontaneously visit here. They form a circle, hold each other's hands, and offer their sincere and heartfelt thanks to the heroes they never knew the face of.

Under the clear blue sky, the children laughed and ran on the grass.At this moment when the war is over, the survivors hug each other, cry, forgive, and smile gratefully at the end.

The storm has passed, and what awaits them is a future of infinite hope.
