Dawn Sleep

After listening to this teenage love story, Ryan pondered for a long time, and said, "It's a little different from what I imagined."

He thought it would be the routine of "the imperial prince fell in love with the talented civilian military cadet at first sight and fell in love with him when he saw him again. He chased and beat him day and night, and finally softened the opponent and hugged the beauty back".

Jiang Jianming said that they admired each other and got close to each other.

It's not surprising that with the two of them's vision, thinking and knowledge level, among their peers, only each other can be soul confidantes.

but……

Ryan: "Then what do you like about me?"

"What?" Jiang Jianming was at a loss. Since the incident with Yuan Nagasawa, his confusion has been superimposed.

But now, he felt that he had never heard such an absurd question in his life. Does it still need to be proved that His Royal Highness is the White Moonlight of the whole empire?

"As a partner." Ryan emphasized as if seeing his doubts.

"I am indeed the royal heir, but what I can bring to my spouse: power, money, fame... Ordinary people may be tempted by these things, but you won't."

"Even if you share the same interests, you can be a monarch and minister if you appreciate each other, and you can be a close friend if you are a confidant... This is not enough for you to spend the rest of your life."

Ryan's eyes were burning: "Why did you choose me?"

Jiang Jianming's heart fluttered slightly when he saw it: "...because you always treat me with the same affection as now."

This should be a very touching sentence, but Ryan shook his head and said: "Although there are not many people who are deeply in love, they are not rare. Is there no other reason?"

"This...heh." Jiang Jianming was so angry and funny when he was blocked by him, he thought to himself that he didn't know where the love came from. The prince of the empire was originally an excellent person, and he fell in love with him again. Can you make it clear?

But His Highness wanted to ask, and seemed to be stubbornly wanting an answer to ensure his "irreplaceability".

"Then, because you are the most powerful crystalline human being."

Jiang Jianming shook his head and walked towards the door with a smile. When he passed by, he patted Ryan's wrist.

Fingertips brushed against the crystal bone intentionally or unintentionally, and Jiang Jianming turned his eyes darkly, "I am born weak, of course I will be strong. Even if I want to go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, Your Highness will play with me, right?"

As expected, Ryan was satisfied, and the crown prince showed a happy expression: "Of course."

The two returned to the bedroom in the palace, and Ryan walked two steps ahead to turn on all the lights for him.

Jiang Jianming looked at the back of the other party and thought to himself: Could it be that he was too indifferent and not emotional enough to ask His Highness to ask such a question?

In this relationship, he has never been the one who gives more.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jianming's heart twitched for no reason, and he raised his head and blurted out: "Your Highness, I..."

"What?" Ryan looked back, but Jiang Jianming was startled again, and was rarely speechless.

"I……"

He wanted to say, I really love you.

But when the words came to his lips, he felt that such a hypocritical defense was not worthy of being presented in front of the prince.

It is not suitable to talk about love with a humble body and life.

So in the end, this black-haired and pale young man could only suppress the monstrous emotions in his heart, in exchange for a calm and flat tone:

"I'll be with you forever, until the end of my life or when you don't need it anymore."

Ryan's eyebrows stretched, and he walked back, wrapping his arms around the thin body of the disabled human being.

"So," Ryan leaned over and put his forehead against Jiang Jianming's, and asked softly, "Is this what you wanted to say to me on the starship that day?"

"On the starship?" Jiang Jianming frowned, "No... I don't know, I don't remember."

The topic was interrupted here, because His Royal Highness's wrist phone rang, it was a communication message from the military department.

Ryan lowered his head and glanced, and said: "The expedition fleet of Yin Beidou has new information. Let's go to the military headquarters tomorrow."

"Go to bed early."

It rained the next day.

When the two arrived at the military headquarters, the sky was already cloudy outside, and the raindrops were crackling on the windows, which was somewhat ominous.

The moment Jiang Jianming saw Xie Yuduo himself in the projection, Jiang Jianming's heart sank.

Xie Yuduo's face was too haggard.Logically speaking, since it is a report, the demeanor and behavior should be correct.But the major general's face was pale, his eyes were dark, and there was a strong sense of exhaustion in his eyes and voice.

"...The situation is not optimistic. The fleet arrived at the outer space of the crystal nest on the [-]th. Here we can observe the crystal nest with the naked eye. From a distance, it looks like a crystal ball, colorless and transparent. The texture is like a true crystal mine... there is a ring around it, and there are also crystals condensed on the crushed stones and crushed ice floating in this space..."

"But the state inside the fleet began to deteriorate. First of all, the concentration of crystal particles here is extremely high. Even if the entire army is on alert, there have been more than a dozen acute crystal disturbances; what is even more unexpected is that the soldiers began to appear unconscious. , confusion of consciousness."

"Even myself," Xie Yuduo said after a pause, "was once in a state of confusion where I couldn't command normally. It took a long time after the fleet withdrew to the periphery of the crystal nest before I gradually regained my senses."

"——Xie Yuduo still doesn't know the secret of crystal particles."

Seeing this, Leian folded his arms and sneered coldly, and glanced at Old Marshal Chen meaningfully.

"Is the empire hiding enough from Yin Beidou? Xie Yuduo is loyal to the empire, so you just have the heart to see him running into the crystal nest without knowing anything?"

There was continuous rain outside the window.Old Marshal Chen half-closed his eyes, folded his palms in front of him, leaned on a black cane, and did not speak.

Xie Yuduo's projection is still talking: "As of the day of the report, the number of casualties in the fleet is... I judge that it is difficult to continue to move forward... Next, the fleet will obey the order and return according to the route when it came, and return to the Silver Beidou No. A fort."

Jiang Jianming gave Ryan a wink, and now it is useless to struggle with concealing the problem.

He asked the old marshal: "The mental disorder in the Silver Beidou Fleet is due to the interference of crystal particle consciousness, isn't it?"

Old Marshal Chen stopped projecting the video and nodded: "Well, we can determine that for the time being."

Jiang Jianming thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "What if it is a disabled human being?"

"According to the Crystal Sect, disabled humans should be humans who have not been fully implanted by crystal particles...Old Marshal, is there any precedent for disabled humans to go to crystal nests?"

Ryan suddenly turned his head to look at him, while Old Marshal Chen chuckled lightly, with unpredictable emotions in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "The idea Her Royal Highness said is very interesting, but unfortunately, there is no precedent."

Jiang Jianming's face changed slightly.Just as he was about to speak, Old Marshal Chen raised his hand and raised his white eyebrows: "Hey, don't believe me. In fact, the information held by the upper echelons of the empire is really not as much as you imagined. These years, they have been explored step by step in the dark. .”

Having said that, the old man with white beard and hair sighed.

"During this time, the two of you have been waiting for a long time. But please believe that we are not delaying meaninglessly."

This sigh seemed to be full of too many emotions.But the next moment, the old man raised his face, his eyes were full of light.

"The guests of the Dominion have arrived, and the Empire has also opened up the first interstellar route to the crystal nest. The Silver Beidou Fleet has arrived at the crystal nest, and many speculations have been confirmed..."

Boom!The black cane suddenly hit the ground.Old Marshal Chen raised his head and said: "Now the time has come. If you have any doubts, please feel free to ask."

There seemed to be rolling thunder in the distance, and in the empty commander's office, Lean and Jiang Jianming's hearts shook at the same time.

They all realized it.

The time for real honesty is coming.

A few seconds later, Jiang Jianming said in a deep voice, "About the secret of crystal particles... When did the empire first realize this truth?"

Old Marshal Chen looked at him deeply: "You already guessed it, didn't you."

Jiang Jianming's pupils tightened, and he said softly, "It's really..."

"Is it really the fourth holy battle?"

"Stop, teacher." Ryan raised his eyebrows and raised his lips, and tapped on the corner of the table, "You have been playing tricks for so long, and now you want us to ask them one by one?"

Old Marshal Chen pointed to the sofa with a smile: "Then let me start from the beginning, please sit down."

"It's a long story. In fact, the old empire has mastered this secret a long time ago..."

"But just like us, because of the seriousness of the situation, the tyrant Odin chose to block the news and only conduct relevant research in the secret scientific research base."

"Oh, the name of that scientific research base is called Gray Owl Laboratory, and it is also the predecessor of today's Black Shark Base."

Outside the window, a bright purple bolt of lightning flashed.

Rumbling--

After the second thunderclap, heavy rain poured down.

On the other side of the universe, Omega Alien, Black Shark Base.

The cold mechanical automatic door opened to both sides, and the beam of light outside illuminated the mysterious depths.

Suddenly, a girl's terrified scream pierced the silence, and Diana Lance, who was standing at the door, took two steps back as if struck by lightning!

She stared at the scene in front of her with extremely terrified eyes, shivering, and her teeth kept shaking.

Just behind the door, countless sophisticated instruments emit blue light, and rows of horizontal biological culture chambers lie there quietly, cold and inorganic, like large coffins.

The glass walls of each culture chamber reflected the light spots from the equipment, and a person was sleeping inside—at least from the outside, it looked like a human body.

They and they all looked like eighteen or nineteen-year-old youths, with their eyes closed and soaked in an unknown liquid, with soft tubes attached to their naked bodies.

"Oh my god... my god!!"

Diana shook her head tremblingly, wanting to back away.

The rumor that Black Shark Base is conducting forbidden human experiments... is true! ?

With a muffled sound, she bumped into another person behind her.

"do not be afraid."

A cold electronic voice sounded, "Child, this is what you will see sooner or later."

"head……"

Diana turned back tremblingly, "Boss..."

The person who led her here silently all the way, that is, the leader of the Black Shark base, turned around and closed the door at this moment.

The creepy "human experiment field" turned into a closed space, and Diana bounced up like an electric shock, clinging to the corner, gritting her teeth and glaring at the leader: "You, who are you, what exactly is the Black Shark base doing?" place……"

The next moment, Diana's eyes widened.

Because the leader suddenly raised his hands and took off the mask on his head.

"Ask me... who is...?"

Aged female voices replaced electronic ones. "It's been a long time since anyone asked that question."

A few strands of silver hair fell down, and the old woman under the mask had blue eyes like the sea, melancholy but calm, kind and firm.

"In the years long ago." She sighed softly, holding the dark and cold iron mask, "I have had many identities."

"I'm the little granddaughter of Vladimir, the head of the Old Empire Gray Owl Laboratory."

"I am the sixth daughter of Joshua Song, the second-generation chairman of the White Dove Akaba Society and the chief consul."

Diana held her breath in astonishment.

She timidly said: "You, you are... no, impossible..."

"I am the first empress of the new empire, the nominal spouse of the founding emperor Kaios, and the current empress dowager of the empire...I am Silph Song."

Sylph looked calm, she stretched out her arm, and the palm wrapped in black armor calmly landed on the shivering girl's head.

The short silver hair that had just been cut short due to the loss of her sister.

"But now, my only identity is a researcher at Black Shark Base, and the base's top instructor."

Silf said slowly: "From now on, I am your leader."

"Diana Lance, your talent and intelligence have been judged to be of sufficient value. I want you to obey the orders of the base and join us in this..."

"It has been going on for more than [-] years, in the human anti-aggression war."
