The moment the muzzle of the laser gun in Mute's hand touched Troll's forehead—
Almost at the same moment, Colonel Qingfa jumped onto the podium with a gun in his hand against the back of Mutt's head. And Robin stood a little farther away. Although he reacted in sync with Via, he still took a step slowly before jumping onto the podium. When he stretched out his hand, his fingers firmly clasped Mutt's left shoulder.
It was just fastened. In order to avoid irritating Mutt, he did not force it for the time being.
Also at the same moment, the guns in the hands of all the soldiers in the hall were pointed at Mutt in unison. They frowned, tightly clenched the laser guns in their hands, and stared at the command platform without blinking. Their shoulders and arm muscles were tense when they raised the guns. Pressure, ready to go.
In just one tenth of a second, countless laser beams can penetrate the vitals of the young man above.
As if he didn't feel the threat of death at all, and didn't care about the muzzle of the gun on the back of his head at all, Mutt just stared at Troll's face, as if he was greatly stimulated, and his breathing was very rapid.
He clenched the laser gun tightly in both hands, his arms were tense, but his fingertips were trembling slightly as he clenched the gun tightly.
The dark pupils were soaked with tears, and the boy's eyes were full of tears, and then, little by little, they leaked from the corners of his eyes and rolled down from his pale cheeks. He was obviously the one who pointed the gun at Troll, but his expression at the moment seemed to be enduring great pain.
He didn't speak, just bit his lower lip with his teeth, because it was too hard, the lower lip was already white.
He stared at Troll's face with undisguised hatred, and his chest heaved violently, as if he was desperately suppressing the hatred that was almost burning out of his eyes, and... hidden in There was a little invisible sadness in the depths of the eyes.
Via was very nervous, so nervous that her heart was about to jump out. Although he didn't know why this happened suddenly, but at this moment he didn't have any extra brains to think, and all his attention was on Mute's hand.
He was the closest person to these two people, he could clearly see the slight trembling of Mute's fingertips on the trigger, and it was that trembling that made his heart beat so hard that it almost burst into his chest—
The trembling of the boy's fingers only needs to be slightly larger—
Via didn't dare to imagine the consequences, he could only hold his breath, and continued to put the muzzle of the gun on the back of Mute's head, in a stalemate like this. And Robin, who was clasping Mute's shoulders, didn't dare to move even more. He could also see that Mute's mood at the moment was very abnormal. Stimulating Mute, the consequences were simply unimaginable.
There was a dead silence in the hall, and the sound of breathing could hardly be heard. It was like a string that was stretched to the extreme, and it would break completely at the slightest touch.
However, just when everyone was so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath, the look of the marshal who made everyone fearful was completely different from the others.
Although his forehead was pressed against the muzzle of the gun, Troll seemed to have never seen the pitch-black laser gun in front of him. His long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, just looking at the boy in front of him.
Although he frowned tightly and looked extremely unhappy, he didn't seem to be angry. His gaze just fell on Mute's tearful eyes and the tears seeping from the corners of his eyes, and then slowly moved down and settled on on the boy's whitened lips.
Unlike Via, who stood sideways and stared at Mutt without daring to relax at all, Robin stood behind Mutt and clasped Mutt's shoulders, so although he was watching the movement of the boy's arm muscles, the corners of his eyes were still lingering. The light can also clearly see the Marshal's face.
And now the marshal's eyes he caught a glimpse made Robin, who was so nervous that he was dying, stunned for a moment.
If he read correctly... BOSS's eyes seemed to be...
...distressed
The red-haired junior soldier felt dumbfounded for a moment.
Boss, have you figured out the current situation and position? The muzzle of someone's gun is on your forehead, but when this little guy shed tears, you only care about your heartache? Don't you feel sorry for us who are so worried that your heart is about to jump out
He hadn't finished complaining about such a sentence in his heart, when he saw his boss raised a hand to signal to everyone.
"Back off."
The marshal said that his voice was cold and beyond doubt.
Robin hesitated for a moment, let go of the hand on Mute's shoulder, and took two steps back. But Via didn't move, just turned his head and stared at Marshal Troll.
"… Your Mightiness!"
The marshal did not repeat his order, but just glanced at Via. That glance made Via pause for breath, hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his hand, letting the muzzle of the gun leave the back of Mutt's head, and then also took a step back.
Seeing that Via and Robin retreated in the hall, everyone was still holding their guns, and they still couldn't react. At this moment, the marshal standing on the high podium glanced at everyone with his slender phoenix eyes.
He glanced lightly and didn't say a word, but the kind of obedience to this person that had almost formed a conditioned reflex for a long time made everyone excited, immediately carried out the order, and put down the gun in their hands.
All the changes around seemed to be out of Mute's eyes, he just stared straight at Troll's face, his dark pupils sucked up all the light, extremely bright, terrifyingly bright, as if everything The endless black hole that swallows it.
There, nothing can be seen except the bottomless abyss.
Troll held out his hand.
The boy's shoulders trembled, but he didn't move away, he just stared at that face, letting the outstretched hand touch his cheek.
The marshal's thumb lightly slid across Mute's white and bloodless lips that had been bitten.
"release."
The man said with a low voice, his eyes focused on the deeply bitten lips.
Mutt's pupils contracted forcefully.
He looked at the face of the man in front of him. His black eyes seemed to be shining with the light of thousands of stars. At this moment, his image of holding a gun was deeply reflected.
The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at Troll with a hesitant expression, showing a bit of confusion and uncertainty.
Troll's fingers ran over his lower lip again with very light movements.
"release."
As if he couldn't see the muzzle of the gun on his forehead at all, the marshal looked at the boy's lips that were almost bitten by himself, and repeated these two words again.
The boy's pupil, which had contracted forcefully into a small hole, slowly released, and the pupil trembled a few times, and even the tears in his eyes seemed to ripple.
He blinked, and a stream of tears rolled down his cheeks, down his chin and onto his raised arm.
Mutt looked at Troll in a daze, his dark pupils shrouded in water vapor were hazy.
"...Major General...?"
His lips moved, and he barely made a sound. His eyes moved from Troll's face to his own hands, and the corners of his eyes suddenly moved as he looked at the gun that he was holding tightly against Troll's forehead. .
He slowly looked around for a week, his eyes sweeping across the wide hall.
"Ishtar..."
He muttered to himself, calling this name as if he had lost his soul, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare in a trance.
Taking a deep breath, Mutt closed his eyes, his trembling eyelashes showed that he was not at all calm at the moment, and the shadow of those eyelashes fell on his pale cheeks and swayed endlessly.
The laser gun held against Troll fell to the metal floor the moment he let go, making a crisp impact sound.
His eyes had always been filled with tears, and when he closed his eyes at this moment, another string of tears rolled down his cheeks, against the black eyelashes dyed with tiny drops of water and the white lips with deep bite marks, in this For a moment, it gave people an unusual sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
Looking at it makes my heart a little tight.
On the wide light curtain, the planet that has been burned to a barren terra cotta with no life left is slowly rotating in the universe.
The black-red ugly sphere was reflected behind the boy with closed eyes and tear-stained eyelashes, and for some reason made people fall silent for a while.
... ... ...
…………………
All fleets are temporarily on standby, staying in place until the next order.
Via pondered for a while, and ordered some warships with the ability to resist nuclear radiation to go to the outer space of the Emperor Star to investigate the current situation on the surface of the Emperor Star, and to rescue the survivors in space... Although the survivors may is negligible.
The images sent back by those scout ships that went to investigate the surface of Emperor Star made everyone feel very heavy.
The emperor star is already a piece of scorched earth, the atmosphere has completely dissipated, and the black and red land can be seen directly in the universe, the concave and undulating ugly landforms, the nuclear radiation storm is raging on the surface, and the terrifying whirlwind whizzes by and is never seen again The slightest breath of life... That beautiful blue pearl in the vast universe is now as ugly as a rotten eyeball of a dead fish, making people unwilling to take a second look.
The 9.8 billion lives are all submerged under countless dust and dry scorched earth.
Mute has not opened his mouth, he said nothing, refused to say anything, just nestled in Trol's arms, hugged Trol tightly, and pressed his tear-stained face against Trol's chest.
He opened his eyes and pursed his lips tightly without saying a word, and he didn't even make a sound of sobbing, but the tears kept falling, and the corners of his eyes were very red. Like a wounded little animal, cuddling tightly in the arms of someone he trusted, his eyelashes were wet with tears, making people feel both affectionate and distressed.
For the first time, Troll knew what it was like to be overwhelmed.
The boy in his arms looked a little weak at first glance, and his childish face still looked like a child, and he seemed easy to bully, but Troll knew that this child was very strong, no matter how he looked at it. .
For so long, he had never seen Mutt cry.
Not once.
No matter how hard it is, no matter how desperate, even in the dark, the young man can still show a bright smile that surpasses all others.
... It was the first time he saw him shed tears.
The young man curled up in his arms, and the appearance of crying silently looked extremely fragile, which made people feel distressed as hell.
He didn't know what to do.
The beeping sound of the communicator sounded in the room, it was his subordinates urging him. Due to this big bang, the entire universe has become a mess at this moment, and there are many things waiting for him to make decisions.
He raised his hand and pressed it in the air, and the room fell silent immediately. But this still startled the person in his arms, Mute raised his head from his arms, and stared blankly at the familiar room for a while. Then, the boy took a breath, seemed to have calmed down a bit, and raised his hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Major General, you go out."
Mutt said, standing up.
He looked down at Troll, put his hand on Troll's shoulder, and stared at Troll with his black eyes shrouded in water vapor.
"night… "
He looked at Troll's face and paused for breath before continuing.
He said: "Bring Via and the others tonight, and I will tell you everything."
...
…………………
It was already late at night, but the entire ship was still as bright as day, soldiers were busy coming and going, and the sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the passage.
Via followed Marshal Troll to the top floor, and as soon as he reached the entrance of the passage, he had a face-to-face meeting with several Jia who were standing there obviously waiting for them.
"Mut asked us to come."
Ga, with long flaxen hair, said to them.
Via frowned, but said nothing. The girls glanced at each other, and walked in right after Via and Robin.
The room was quiet with no signs of movement. Marshal Troll paused for a moment, and continued to move forward. He walked through the living room with his long legs and entered the room on the other side. The others naturally followed behind him and also walked over.
It was an empty silver-white hall and a viewing room. When the stereoscopic projection equipment inside was not activated, you could see the huge glass window tens of meters long.
There was no light in the room, it was very dark, and there was a slender person standing in front of the huge glass window.
Mutt stood in front of the window with his head raised, and the fine starlight shone in from the universe outside the window, illuminating the boy's cheeks.
In the dark starry sky, a planet is slowly turning.
Lost the once azure blue and the white cloud pattern surrounding it, the tiny light spots flickering around illuminated the huge planet that had been ravaged by nuclear energy bombs.
It rotates in the cosmic sky, as ugly as rotten.
Mut just stood there, watching the rotten planet quietly, the extremely shallow shadow stretched long under his feet.
For some reason, Via looked at the boy's profile and felt an indescribable sense of heaviness.
He glanced at the other people beside him, not only him, but the others seemed to feel this oppressive feeling, and their expressions were a little gloomy.
Pressing one hand on the cold glass window, Mutt turned around, and his eyes fell on the face of Marshal Troll, then swept across Via and Robin, and landed on the bodies of those Gals.
The hall was very dark, the boy was facing them, and the starlight shone in from behind him, covering his face in shadow so that it was difficult to see clearly.
Mutt raised his hand, and a light shot out from the bracelet, projecting a light curtain in the hall.
The light curtain flickered, and a bust of a person appeared in the light curtain. Everyone looked at it subconsciously, and they all showed astonishment for a while.
On the light curtain is a young man, with slender Danfeng eyes slightly raised, jet black hair, cool thin lips, snow-skinned star eyes, so handsome that people can't take their eyes off.
"BOSS?"
Looking at the familiar handsome face in the light curtain, Robin felt baffled for a moment, and turned to look at Mutt.
"Why are you showing the video of BOSS?"
"... No, this is not."
Canaan, who was staring at the image, retorted. He shook his head and said, "It's very similar to your marshal, but not the same person."
"Huh? This is obviously—"
"He's right." Via, who was also staring at the image, also spoke, "Look carefully, this is not Your Excellency the Marshal."
At first glance, they seem to be very similar, especially the pair of beautiful long and narrow phoenix eyes, the dark blue eyes that seem to be glowing with cold light, and the cold and arrogant attitude with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, they are exactly the same as Troll.
But after careful identification, it can be seen that this person is not Marshal Troll. This man looks more serious. Although he is equally handsome to the extreme, he feels tough and his outline is a bit deep.
Moreover, the military uniform worn by the man is very different from the imperial uniform, and the badges and shoulder ornaments are also different from the imperial style.
"At that time, I did... that kind of thing to the major general, not because of someone's control or other reasons."
"I just... mistook the person."
The young man looked at the people on the opposite side and said softly.
"I just remembered a lot of things that I had forgotten."
Robin couldn't help it.
"What do you mean? Who is this person?"
Mutt's gaze swept across the image of the man on the light curtain.
"The legendary 'hero' who led mankind from the earth to the universe. If I'm not mistaken, he is..."
Mutt replied.
His face looked calm, but we could clearly feel the traces of his emotional fluctuations at this moment.
"... the first emperor of the empire."
The boy's eyes fell on Troll's face, and there was a bitter smile on his face, as if he was laughing at himself.
[I seem to have seen your eyes somewhere.]
Yes, he finally remembered that he had seen those familiar blue eyes countless times.
a long long time ago.
While he... was still on Earth.
