parasitic son

Alarm bells rang in the sky.

People queuing to enter the shelter looked up at the sky, then lowered their heads and walked in silence.A child naively asked what the bell meant, and the child's parents silently pulled him forward.The soldiers sitting in the fort held their guns and stared at the flickering stars in the night sky.

In the distant sky, there are ruthless killings, the loss of life, and the bite of ferocious steel beasts. Every flash of light means that the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the track are dying.Those are their comrades-in-arms and compatriots.

At this moment, the soldiers could only hold their weapons in hand, waiting silently for the moment when the alien fleet broke through the orbital defense.

They are about to become the Great Steel Wall of Hope Township.

***********************

Joey looks up information at the Bureau of Control.The consequences of the approach of the Izel Alien Fleet are not only that the administrative work of the entire planetary government has fallen into chaos, but their mysterious technology has even directly interfered with the regular network communication of Hope Township. The signal is intermittent, and most of the communication has fallen into an uncontrollable situation. Delay.The left-behind government clerks struggled between paperwork and the system. Everyone was so busy that no one could spare time for him, and no one had the energy to help Xiaozhen find his friends.With the special permission of Governor Jiang Dan and Mayor Childe, Xiaozhen directly invoked the recent ship landing files.Because the network was blocked, he could only use manual methods, fighting with a pile of data in the pile of paper, trying to find clues about Liu Xingquan.

Mrs. Fei, the captain of Madara, and the three brothers Gamor, Liu, Guan and Zhang all came to join him.A group of them sat in an office of the Interstellar Control Bureau and flipped through the documents page by page, typing on the data pad and facing the rows of numbers. They read them all day and night.In the daytime of the second day, everyone's eyes were fighting up and down.

They didn't find any information about the Impeccable landing at the port of Hope Township, but Zhang Fei found a clue.

A data board shows that four days ago, a civilian ship went off course and disappeared in the Tita Mountains.Due to the interference of the Izel alien fleet, it is not surprising that countless ships have disappeared in the past few days.But Zhang Fei found that the ship's model information was exactly the same as that of the Impeccable.

But the problem is that it flew into the Tita Mountains and disappeared with a large number of passengers.

Xiao Zhen stared at the data pad in silence.

Zhang Fei also wanted to continue to express his views on Liu Xingquan's life and death.Before he could utter the horrible language of superstitious power, Gamal rushed forward and choked him.No one disputed Gamal's actions.

"I'm going to investigate the Tita Mountains." Xiaozhen said, "This location is not far away."

He saw the pity on the faces of his companions when they heard of his decision.

True knows what his companions are thinking.

But it's not sure yet.

I don't think he's dead.

Xiaozhen looked at the ship information and thought, even if there is a slight possibility, I will go.

After that, he asked Ms. Kamalfi Liu Guanzhang and others to go to the shelter first.He went to the Governor's Mansion to ask Illian to borrow an airship.

As soon as he returned to the Governor's Mansion, Chief Inspector Yi Lian was rushing out of the gate with his adjutant Miao Wen.Xiaozhen hurried forward and said that he was going to Tita Mountains, and asked him if he could borrow an airship.

"Tita Mountains? Where are you going?" Irian looked a little surprised.

Xiaozhen handed him the location coordinates of the data pad and told him that his friend's ship might be missing here.

Irian frowned slightly, "Come with me."

"Hey?"

"I happened to be going to Tita Mountains too, which is also near this coordinate."

Xiao Zhen, Captain Madara, and Roken M89 boarded Irian's airship.This is a land airship,

There was a humming sound in the air.Illian sat across from them in silence.The past few days of running around and non-stop meetings made this elegant and tidy Inspector General feel a little bit embarrassed, his light-colored eyes were bloodshot, and a few locks of his originally docile and neat short brown-blond hair were curled up unruly.Xiao Zhen stared at his curled hair, feeling an urge to rush up and press it.

He thought about it, and felt that he still didn't want to die.

Next to the airship, the continuous forest is gradually thinning out.The closer you get to the Tita Mountains, the less vegetation there is.When approaching these mountains, the surrounding landscape becomes smooth and hairless.This is a mysterious land. Irian's adjutant Miao Wen said that he suspected that there might be some radioactive material buried under the mountains, which made it impossible for plants to survive.Thousands of years ago, this was the mining area where Shizun Company oppressed workers.On the surface, Shizun has been providing some conventional concentrates, but what this shady company is digging has always been a mystery.

Just like this mysterious mountain.

The airship descended.Due to the shielding force field of the mountains, today's flying vehicles cannot fly in the mountains.Once forced to fly in, it will often end in a plane crash.

Xiaozhen and his party got off the airship along the landing escalator.Irian clicked on the floating screen, and a red signal warning jumped out, showing that the signal was interrupted. "Go in," he said.

The purpose of Irian's trip is still to ask for help.After holding a strategic deployment meeting with all the commanders in Hope Township, Chief Inspector Irian got an important piece of information, that is, there is a small vortex near the Flying Eagle Fortress in the Yunpu Starfield, and using the one-way small vortex can achieve certain The teleportation of the distance, Flying Eagle Fortress is an armed force of the Eye of Overseer, currently belonging to the Angry Eagle Fleet of the third division of the Eye of Overseer.

"Teleportation?" Xiao Zhen asked, "Are they our reinforcements?"

A cold sarcasm appeared in Irian's pale eyes.Adjutant Miao Wen explained next to him that General Tang and Governor Jiang Dan had previously sent a request for help to the Angry Eagle Fleet, but they were rejected by the Angry Eagle Fleet.

"Reject?" Xiaozhen suddenly realized a problem, "But isn't the remote communication cut off now?"

"This is the second information obtained at the meeting." Adjutant Miao Wen said.

Inside the Tita Mountains there is the ruins of an ancient launch tower.How it works under the shielding field is a mystery.Its internal structure is even more obscure.Scientists and archaeologists have not yet resolved its principle.It is also currently the only communication transmitter that breaks through the interference of aliens.But unfortunately, all the help messages sent through this transmission tower were ignored by the planetary governments within its effective range as fake messages that were not from official channels.

Only the Fury Eagle Fleet responded.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zhen asked, "What did the Angry Eagle Fleet reply?"

Adjutant Miao Wen smiled wryly, "The Angry Eagle Fleet replied with only one word, get out."

"..."

"The Fury Eagle Fleet replied, which means we can continue to communicate. This is also the purpose of your visit, Inspector General."

Xiaozhen immediately understood the meaning of Adjutant Miao Wen's words.Under such circumstances, only Irian, who is also the Inspector General of the Eye of Supervision, personally communicates for help, can the Fury Eagle Fleet recognize the authenticity of this information.

"That means, we will have reinforcements!!" Xiao Zhen said.

"I'm not optimistic. Even if I personally prove the authenticity of this message, it may still be rejected." Irian said calmly.

"why?"

Adjutant Miao Wen said in a low voice that the Angry Eagle Fleet of the third chamber of the Eye of Overseer is hostile to Irian's faction, and there is a high probability that they will reject this request for help.

What the hell is going on inside your Overseer's Eye! !Xiao Zhen growled inwardly.

Struggles everywhere, Captain Madara muttered softly.

They had been in the Tita Mountains for about two hours.The steps to enter the mountain bend and extend between the mountains.Illian walked ahead of them, his white cloak floating now and then, revealing the finely embroidered design around the edges.Roken M89 changed the walking mode, and the joints continued to make creaking sounds.The shielding field would mess with the robot's systems, and Zhen didn't want to have it with him in the first place.But Roken M89 insisted on going with him, saying that Mr. Cat had ordered it, and Xiaozhen had no choice but to agree.Now as expected, its system has become disordered, and it can no longer speak normally, so it can barely keep walking and follow them.

After a certain distance, even though Xiaozhen had strengthened his body, he still felt sore legs and feet, and he began to sweat all over.And Captain Madara took full advantage of its small size, jumped directly onto Xiao Zhen's shoulder, and used the other party as a transportation vehicle.Xiaozhen felt that he didn't throw Captain Madara down the mountain on the spot, which meant that he really had a good temper.

"How long do we have?" Captain Madara suddenly didn't feel the anger of the humanoid vehicle under his feet, and issued a non-painful question.

"Further up, there is an entrance. It seems to be the entrance of Shizun Company's mining area back then." Adjutant Miao Wen said. "There is a small village in it, and they live next to the launch pad. You can directly ask them about the missing ship later."

Xiaozhen said: "But there is no signal in this mountain. It can be said that it is far away from the civilized world. Why are there villages?"

"It's the residents who lived in it a long time ago. They claim to be the guardians of Lothar's heritage."

"Lothar's legacy?"

"When Lothar overthrew the Shizun Company, there were legends that he got the mysterious power, and some people said that Lothar actually got the inheritance of the Shizun Company. There are all kinds of theories. In short, these residents lived in the world a long time ago. Here we are." Adjutant Miao Wen raised his head and said, "Look, a guardian resident has welcomed us."

A slender figure appeared above.It looks like a gray moth, with a pair of large black compound eyes, and soft gray wings wrapped around its body like a robe. "Welcome, Your Excellency Inspector General Irian." It said, "By the light of the star spring, I am Suzushi, and I will lead you to the launch pad."

"Thank you."

Suzushi who came to meet them was a resident of the village next to the ancient launch pad in the mountains.It says its ancestors came from fellow workers who fought with Lothar.Xiaozhen thought that it would flap its gray wings and glide along the way, but it didn't, it just walked lightly ahead.Its legs and limbs are extremely slender, and when it walks, it seems to be dancing lightly on the stone steps.Under its quiet guidance, the group of them stepped onto a platform.There is a porch above the platform, the gate is extremely flat, and it is carved out of a black stone that contains mysterious brilliance.The stone is carved with intricate and quirky circular patterns.This crest is not the same as the ancient Assati crest that Zhen has seen in the past, but it has an eerie similarity.This is not Lothar's legacy, Xiao Zhen thought, this is more distant, the legacy of a lost civilization tens of thousands of years ago.

"Come in, please. The launch pad is inside." Suzushi said, holding up a burning lamp.The flame flickered on its face, "Next, no matter what you see, don't be alarmed."

"What do you mean?" Illian asked.

"The old man said that after the launching pad is activated, this channel will interfere with your minds, which will produce an unreal mental refraction." Lingzhi said, "This is a vision that occasionally appears on that launching pad. It may appear, and it may appear. It may not appear. Just ignore it completely.”

Is it an attribute like spiritual refraction?This is obviously another strange legacy of this lost civilization, Xiao Zhen thought.He lifted his feet, followed Irian, and walked into the gate.

Under the dim light of the lantern in Suzuki's hand, they walked silently in the passage.This passage is wide and far away, and the coat of arms etchings consistent with the gate can be seen from time to time on the wall.The mysterious rings are interlaced and circulated, exuding an impenetrable mysterious atmosphere.

Captain Madara opened his mouth and said, "Do you think that the aliens of Izel attacked Hope Township because of these...relics?"

Xiao Zhen glanced at the chicken on his shoulder, and the chicken was unaware of the seriousness of his speech.

Lieutenant Mowwin said, "Maybe. But we'll let them know that attacking Hope Township was a mistake."

They fell silent again.Captain Madara's speech made Irian look stern. Legend has it that Lothar got a mysterious power to overthrow Shizun Company.What if this is true?What if there really are secrets buried beneath this mysterious mine?What if it was really the Alien Izel who spied on the truth of this ruin?He didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"In front is the launch room, the technician should have activated it..." Lingzhi said, suddenly, the dark passageway was as bright as day.

In Xiaozhen's eyes, the real space is twitching and distorting, and the invisible threads that make up matter are dancing.

A figure appeared at the end of the passage like a dream.

The cloak fluttered behind his handsome body, and when he turned around, his long hair seemed to have a burst of brilliant brilliance.His armor was intricately carved, and his eyes gazed at them calmly.His sense of existence seemed to crush the entire space, and rose at the end of the road like the sun.

Almost at the same time, Xiaozhen heard Illian's whisper from his lips: "Lord Mansfield..."

Without any hesitation or hesitation, the Inspector General and his adjutant knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in respect to him.Lingzhi also prostrated herself on the ground.

"My Lord," they said, awe and joy in their voices. "It's great that you're still alive..." Xiao Zhen had never seen Irian lose his composure so much. "My lord, if you're here, Hope Township will be able to..." He said intermittently, his voice choking.

This is impossible.Xiao Zhen thought, this doesn't look like a mind refraction.He felt a strong sense of submission surge through his body, his flesh almost knelt down, but his will was resisting.

Mansfield, Sovereign of the First Court of the Overseer's Eye, stood at the end of the road, his eyes fixed on him.

(You trespassed on a minor Homo sapiens, sinner.)

He saw me?He is talking to me?Xiaozhen felt that his body was frozen, and his head was in pain like a needle.The voice was exploding in his head.

This is not mind refraction at all.This is not an illusion at all.

This is true.

It's the real Mansfield.

The one who has crossed the torrent of time.

Xiaozhen responded with her thoughts: (I am not something you can interfere with.)

(You think I can't interfere?)

(You are just a shadow of the past. This is another slice of time intersection.) Zhen added, (But we will meet again in the future.)

(...) Mansfield shifted his gaze to the robot next to Xiaozhen, (Roken M? Why does it act with you.)

(it is Roken M89)

(I see.)

The silent exchange ended.

Time and space twisted and folded again.The lord of the first court in front of them disappeared.They stopped in the dark passage, Lingzhi's burning lamp flickered faintly, and there was no trace of the adult who was as dazzling as the morning sun.

"My lord??" Irian looked around blankly, looking for his shadow.

Lingzhi said softly: "Just like what the old man in the village said, this kind of situation actually happened. This is the first time I have encountered it. The old man said it was not true."

"Was that just an illusion just now?" Adjutant Miao Wen said to himself sadly, "A spiritual refraction? I thought I saw a miracle just now. That lord didn't die at all..."

"This kind of thing doesn't usually happen. The old man said that this kind of abnormal phenomenon can only happen occasionally when the launch pad is activated." Suzuki pointed to the front door, "It's the result of the technician's activation of the launch equipment. Now, everyone. Go to the launch pad."

Illian stood up, a look of frustration on his face that couldn't be concealed.

"I don't think that's mind refraction. We all see the same scene. Ordinary mind refraction doesn't look like this. Mind refraction should be an illusion that everyone sees differently." Xiaozhen said, "I have a question , Has Lord Mansfield been to Hope Country before?"

Irian looked at him, his eyes were red, and he said: "He has been here. The lord did visit Hope Township on official business. At that time, I served as a guard and stayed on the track, so I didn't land with him. At that time Sharktooth followed him."

"I guess, he has also investigated this ruins in Hope Township. This is a shadow of the past. We are affected by some mysterious force fields here and see the past images in the cracks of time."

"This is us... seeing him in the past?"

Xiaozhen nodded.

"That was indeed his attire back then." Illian said softly, with a nostalgic expression on his face.

"Time is always flowing. Whether it is the past or the present." Xiao Zhen smiled, "So in a sense, he is alive, living in the present just like us."

Illian gave him a deep look.The original expression of loss and sadness has been swept away.

Together they walked into the launch room.This ancient device from an unknown civilization has been activated, making a buzzing sound.A pale white halo overflowed from the device. Perhaps, as Lingshi said, the activation of this ancient transmitter allowed them to glimpse the old shadows of yesterday's people inadvertently.

And at this moment, this ancient launcher is once again igniting the fire for help.
