Obey Your Orders

033

In Arlo's impression, General Michelle's presence in the military department is not enough. Some generals at the same level as him don't seem to think highly of him, because even they don't know how Michelle got promoted to A-level star generals—it is said that he suddenly became a general from a small soldier.

Once in the base, a star general even laughed at him as a waste in front of Michelle, but Michelle turned around and left without any response.

At that time, there were whispers among the soldiers, and everyone was questioning, being so insulted in front of someone can be indifferent, is it because they don't take the other party seriously or are they speechless at all?

Most people believed it was the latter.

However, Arlo could clearly see the indifferent look in General Michelle's eyes at that time.

Michelle will not be in charge of commanding the soldiers—as everyone knows, his duty is very mysterious and no one knows. Although the "World Ship" is the project that Michelle is in charge of, if this is his Responsibilities, as a star general, the responsibilities are too light - but after the military department installed brain machines for soldiers and generals, some soldiers were still under the control of star general Michelle, and so did Arlo. one of them.

Among the soldiers, some were dissatisfied and some protested, but the superior's decision would not change, and those people could only swallow all their dissatisfaction in their stomachs.

In fact, Arlo will have no ill feeling towards Michelle Star.

He remembered that he was sitting by the construction site of the "Ship of the World" that afternoon and was comforted by General Michelle. Although Arlo couldn't remember what the other party said in detail, he still remembered that man looked at " The ship of the world", with a look of light shining in his eyes.

Arlo believes that Michelle will have the confidence to be a general, and respect him as he respects other generals.

At this moment, he also hoped that Michelle would be able to answer all his doubts and clear up his doubts about the rise of the military.

Regarding Clyde's awakened bloodline and Lanyin Academy's trials, the two didn't tell Lydia for the time being, and they wanted to wait for the results of the trials to come out.

After taking a shower and going to bed, Clyde still snuggled into Arlo's arms, and Arlo thought about it, and called, "Clyde?"

Clyde's biological clock was very accurate, and he was already drowsy by this point, and he let out an "um" in a daze.

Arlo hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Since that day, have you felt the presence of my friend again?"

In the darkness, Clyde suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.

"No," Clyde replied, and after a pause, he asked, "Alo, do you really want to see him?"

"Hmm." Arlo replied casually, his thoughts wandering away again.

Clyde raised his head, because there was no light, he couldn't see Arlo's face clearly, but he knew that Arlo was absent-minded.

Clyde remembered what Alo said that day, and the hands under the quilt grabbed Alo's pajamas tightly. He asked dryly, "Alo, after you find him... are you going to leave?"

Arlo froze.

He really didn't know how to answer Clyde's question.

Clyde got up, stared at Arlo in the darkness and asked, "I asked you the other day if you could take me and my mother, but you still haven't answered me."

Arlo also sat up and said in a low voice, "Clyde, don't say whether Lydia is willing to leave, even if she is willing, I can't take you away."

In fact, even if Alo didn't give an answer, Clyde could guess Aluo's answer based on Aluo's attitude that day.This is also the reason why Clyde has pretended not to think of that matter these days, and did not take the initiative to ask. He dare not face this question.But Arlo took the initiative to mention that mysterious friend, and Clyde couldn't bear it anymore.But at this moment, after really hearing Aluo's answer, great disappointment, panic and anger still surged up.

He shouted: "Why! Why can't you take us away!"

A Luo hurriedly put his index finger to his lips and "shh" to make him whisper.

Clyde couldn't control his emotions at all at the moment, so he kept begging: "Alo, take us away, okay, I don't want to be separated from you!"

Arlo was also a little blocked: "Sorry, Clyde, but it really doesn't work."

Clyde gritted his teeth sharply, his eyes turned red.

A Luo wanted to pull the boy over to hug and coax him, but the boy slapped his hand away with a loud noise, and both of them froze immediately.

This was the first time Clyde had this reaction to Arlo.

Arlo hesitated to speak.

Then he heard Clyde say slowly: "Alo, I know you are not from this planet."

Arlo shuddered.

"I knew it from day one, the strange clothes you were wearing, the strange language you spoke, and the words you asked me in the first place."

Just as Clyde never asked Arlo why they could form a manipulative relationship, Clyde never asked Arlo where he came from. I have lamented Clyde's cleverness in this regard.

If Clyde had asked so many questions in the first place, perhaps Arlo would not only turn around and leave, but might even kill Clyde before leaving.

But Clyde didn't ask, he kept silent and also protected Arlo.

And now, Arlo doesn't blame Clyde for really telling the story.

In fact, being able to hold back until now, Clyde's growth has far exceeded that of his peers.

Arlo also believed that Clyde would only say these things when it was just the two of them.

Clyde continued to say: "Allo, it doesn't matter if you go to another planet."

Arlo opened his mouth, and said shyly, "Clyde, you really don't need to do it for someone you haven't known for a long time—"

Clyde interrupted Arlo with a heavy tone: "As I said, you are different, Arlo!"

It was different then, and it is even more different now!

Arlo didn't know what to say, he could only repeat: "I really can't take you and Lydia away."

Suddenly, he heard a faint gasp, accompanied by a whimper.

A Luo was startled, and quickly said: "Are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!"

As he spoke, he immediately went forward to bring Clyde back. Clyde wiped his tears and pushed Arlo, crying inarticulately, and still sobbing: "Next, in the afternoon, I still said, and said, 'Wait for me When I grow up '...deceive...'"

It took Arlo a few seconds to remember what Clyde was talking about—about what he said in the afternoon that he would record Clyde's words and play them to him when he grew up.

A Luo was a little helpless, but also a little sad.

He didn't expect the child to remember every word he said so clearly.

Regardless of Clyde's struggle, Arlo hugged the child into his arms forcefully, patted him on the back and coaxed him: "Don't cry, eh? You're ten years old, why are you still crying like a tabby cat? "

Clyde lay on his shoulder, crying.

Arlo coaxed tenderly with pity, and said softly: "Be good, Clyde, be good, don't cry."

"I don't want you to go," Clyde cried while clutching Alo's clothes, "Alo, I order you not to leave me!"

In an instant, Arlo's muscles tensed up.

Arlo closed his eyes: "I really can't promise you."

"I don't care, I command you! You must obey me!" Clyde cried, "Don't go, don't go, don't go!"

Arlo tightened the hand holding Clyde, with a tremor in his voice: "It's really not possible, Clyde..." He didn't want them to live the same life as Caleb, who was sneaky and cautious all his life.

"Don't leave me, either stay or take me and mom, even if you just tell me where you're going, I can find you," Clyde kept repeating, "You can't—"

Just halfway through speaking, he heard a faint groan from above his head, and then the hand that had been holding him tightly loosened suddenly, and the person in front of him bent his back.

Clyde asked blankly, "Alo?"

Alo didn't respond to him. Clyde stretched his hand forward to touch him, and found that Alo's body was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking. He immediately climbed to the bedside and turned on the light. Seeing A Luo leaning against the wall with his head in pain, he even had a nosebleed.

"Alo?" Clyde was frightened, and jumped over in panic, "Alo, what's wrong with you? I'll call mom—"

Arlo struggled to hold Clyde back, panting and said, "...take back your order."

Clyde froze.

Arlo's head hurts terribly, and there are "buzzing" sounds in his ears, but he still squeezed Clyde's hand lightly, and said slowly in a weak voice: "Clyde, the order is not allowed!" Those who disobey, once disobeyed..."

Clyde also trembled slightly: "...will it become like this?"

After a few seconds, he leaned down, put his hands beside A Luo, and asked softly, "A Luo, can't you follow this order even if you die?"

Arlo was panting, the pain was so great that he could no longer hear Clyde's voice, so naturally he didn't answer.

Clyde's tears welled up again.

His heart sank completely.

"I take back the order."

He took a deep breath and said with tears in his eyes, "I take back the order just now."

After the voice fell to the ground, Arlo's trembling stopped visibly, and his body relaxed.

He maintained a curled up posture, calming down his shortness of breath.

I don't know how long it has passed, but there is no movement from him.

Clyde was stunned for a long time before he moved and pushed Arlo.

Arlo fell on the bed, his face was pale, but his breathing was steady.

Clyde used the method he used before to detect the "thin threads" on Alo's body, and the threads were all intact. The pain just now did not cause any irreparable damage to Alo, but at this moment Arlo should have just fallen asleep exhausted from the excruciating pain.

Clyde straightened Arlo's body, wiped the blood from his nose with a tissue, and then covered Arlo with the quilt again.

After turning off the light, the boy muttered in the dark: "...what if you don't see that friend anymore?"
