"Lingus, do you also have altitude sickness?" Bright asked, "You look very bad, do you need to go to the infirmary to rest?"
Ed was silent for a moment, then fell to one side weakly, and was hugged by CC, who was fast-eyed and fast-handed. What caught CC's eyes was a face that was pale and bloodless, the empty eyes lost focus, and the muscles of the face twitched slightly because of the pain.
"Ed? Ed!" CC shouted his name in a panic, "what's the matter with you?"
Ed tried his best to focus his pupils on the worried face in front of him, struggled to make a few low and inexplicable roars, and then did not respond.
"Anyway, call the doctor first." Bright said calmly as he picked up the phone on the table, "Ms. CC, do you have any clues about what Lingus looks like now? Or does he have any medical history? Do you want to first? Contact Lux?"
Only Lux is Ed's real wife in name. CC is very clear that in most people's minds she is just one of Ed's many lovers, so it makes sense that Bright would ask whether to contact Lux. Normally, she might take this opportunity to make a veiled coquetry to Ed, but now she doesn't have the energy to pay attention to such trivial issues.
"It's an apostle," she said firmly. "It must be an apostle."
Life has evolved to the level of Ed, and it can no longer be regarded as a human being, and there is only quantitative but no qualitative difference from an apostle. It is impossible for all the existing diseases of mankind to cause any harm to Eddard, and only other apostles can harm the apostles in this way.
"Apostle? I haven't received a report from my subordinates, which means that the presence of the apostle is not observed within the alert range of the entire Lhasa base, unless..." Bright pondered for a while and dialed a certain number, "It's me, Bu Wright Noah. Immediately conduct an all-round search for the enemy with a satellite orbit target, and I will have the result soon."
Waiting for the result, CC sat down with Ed in his arms, let him lean into his arms in a more comfortable position, and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from Ed's forehead with his expensive sleeve.
"Miss CC." Tifa's sweet voice made her raise her head, and a white handkerchief was placed in front of her. "Please use this."
CC hesitated and reached out to take it: "Thank you."
Every second that followed was like torment, with anxiety and powerlessness slowly creeping in. She couldn't help but feel a little dejected, if it was Lux, she might have already thought of a countermeasure, right
"I found it, it's a bird angel, in satellite orbit." Bright finally hung up the phone, "The moon has been notified of Lingos' situation, and Prince Roland said that TurnA will be dispatched immediately, hoping that our side will cooperate with him in synchronizing actions. "
"I... come on..." Kalod raised his hand panting, as though it was not surprising that he would fall down at any time, "According to the doctor's... original plan... the orbit is... using... DX... "
"Don't make fun of Ed's life." CC interrupted Kalod with a cold voice and turned to look at Bright, "On behalf of Ed, I grant you the temporary right to use DX, and there is an ACE that can be used here in Lhasa. Is it?"
"There is definitely ACE, but the sniping at this distance is too exaggerated..." Bright frowned, "Or let Amuro in Dakar go to the nearest mass accelerator immediately? But space warfare in satellite orbit is too easy. Falling into the gravitational range, let me think again... How can it run into the orbit of the satellite, this is really troublesome... "
"There's no time to think about it." CC felt the trembling body in his arms and took a deep breath, "I'll come."
"Ah?" Bright was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, "This, Ms. CC, I remember that you are Lingus' equity agent, right? No, I know your relationship with him, there is no other meaning, But this…”
"Just understand the relationship between me and him." CC helped Ed to stand up, "I have also learned MS driving, and the level is probably ACE. Tell the preparation team to prepare for the attack, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Bright looked at Ed, who was almost unconscious due to the pain of unknown origin, and said worriedly: "I have no right to deal with the MS of the moon, so let me take care of Lingos, right?"
CC looked at the groggy Kalod, and then at the weak Tifa, secretly regretting why he didn't bring An Qi out. There's nothing she can do to put a defenseless, even deteriorating, Eddard at the mercy of someone she doesn't trust.
"I'm with him." CC said sternly, "There is no negotiation on established matters."
A few minutes later, the DX Gundam stood on a flat hill near the Lhasa base. The double-barreled satellite microwave cannon was standing on the shoulder, and the small golden wings extending from the fuselage did not glow, which symbolized that the moonlight cannon had not been fully charged.
The satellite image taken by Bright is being displayed on the main screen in the cockpit. It is a creature in the shape of a big bird, with a dazzling white light all over its body, making it difficult to see what it looks like.
"Call DX, this is TurnA." The communication sounded, "Sure enough, I still can't break through the AT force field, and the maximum output of the TurnA beam rifle is not enough."
"Roland?" CC exclaimed, "You came in person?"
"Yeah, don't worry about that anymore." Lola's eager voice came through the speaker. "How is Ed?"
"The expression is very painful, the consciousness is still blurred, and the body spasms intermittently." CC held Ed's hand aside, biting his lower lip with his upper teeth, "But he is such a powerful NT, should he be fine?"
"The doctor said... Said that in the face of a mental attack, the stronger the NT ability, the greater the damage. I don't know how long he can last." There was a muffled sound from Lola, which seemed to be slapping something hard, "Why TurnA No way?!"
"Because these things are constantly evolving, the dead will transmit information to the undead, and the later come out, the stronger the resistance to particle beam weapons, and I am afraid that the resistance to NT will also be..." CC paused, "Coordinates I got it, ready to snipe, you be quiet."
"The bird angel's position is not deviated from the predicted orbit, and can be sniped." Laura trembled, "Then Ed's safety is entrusted to..."
"I don't need you to entrust me to save my man's life." CC snapped, "Who do you think you're talking to?"
The sniping at this distance has become only a reference value even for computer calculations, and the only thing the driver can rely on is mental arithmetic and experience that are no different from metaphysics. Like everyone else in the world, CC has no experience in orbital sniping, and only has mental arithmetic skills that can barely be praised, but fortunately, she has a body that won't break down no matter how hard she tries.
"Lilith, this is the only time I want to thank you." She thought silently, "If my man is all right, I'll make a special place for you in the refrigerator after I go back, so that you don't have to squeeze with the drinks. One piece."
Roland's nonsense is interference, and the communication channel is turned off. The whistling wind on the hilltop was a distraction, and the monitors outside the fuselage were turned off. Ed's haggard appearance is distracting, and vision has to be turned off. Even the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat is in the way, and all the functions of the body are turned off as much as possible, just leave the hand used to pull the trigger and the brain used to calculate.
"Before I met you, my world was dead. Before I met you, my time stopped."
Time passed in silence, the moonlight cannon was finally charged, and the small wings on the side of the fuselage began to emit a dazzling golden light.
"I finally found a reliable man and agreed to stay with me until the end of time, and you will never be allowed to leave early."
The pale white hexagon swirled and fell from the sky, sublimated by heat before touching the fuselage, and turned into invisible water vapor.
"Do you know why snow is white? Not some spectrum, some reflection, idiot, it's just waiting for you to color it."
The DX stood quietly in the snowy landscape, the main monitor's line of sight passed through the brilliant ice, and the two gun barrels pointed to the other side of the endless sky.
"Thank you, this time it's my turn to make you happy."
The white fingers were gently bent, and the torrent of particles roared out, and the roar resounded through the entire mountain.
…
"Why do you do such a thing?!" Bird Angel rudely flipped through his memory, ignoring how much pain such a behavior would cause, "You are not Li Lin, you are not even from this world, Why would you even do such a thing! Everyone died because of you!"
"Sorry, I don't have a choice."
"Your parents don't like you, so you can't understand our feeling of looking for your father? You don't have any siblings, so you can't understand my feeling of losing a loved one? But we were forced to start over in another world, so we want to destroy us and let's get angry?!"
"What you said is all about the past life. Now I like Li Lin in this world very much. And don't look at it. I'm not Asuka, it's just pain, nothing else."
"'People in this world are so funny. Gundam has pointed it out and has never been out of Jupiter. After hundreds of years of infighting, there is still a Showa leader. It's unreasonably stupid.' Do you call this a liking?' If there is no help, just take my wife to hide on that earth, I can't help if human beings are destroyed.' Do you call this a liking?!"
"I like the people around me, and I love the house and Wudi to save Li Lin by the way. I don't know you well, so I can only sacrifice you."
"You call this liking? Ah, let me see, 'The adjuster didn't adjust his IQ to buy a house on the moon, right?' Passing on my book, his wife will never be promoted in her life', 'I don't know if she was pushed by his sister or not, it's interesting that Stella is sick', 'Lola—'"
"Does it matter if you subconsciously complain?" Ed interrupted quickly, "It doesn't affect my interpersonal communication."
"Tucao? What about this? 'Haman is very tasteful, does he plan to be single for a lifetime', 'The twins are so exciting, but I can only think about it', 'Diana's face is so stern all day, is it like this in bed', 'No Lu Lu Xiu's words, Nanali has a premonition that she will develop into a gun friend', 'Da European style long-legged cheongsam with double ponytails, I am a special social security', 'Tifa—'"
"I'm not a saint, this kind of impulsive thought that a normal male flashes can't be controlled, right?" Ed interrupted the other side again, "I haven't done anything that I'm sorry for them, shouldn't this kind of thing be disregarded? heart?"
"Sophistry, do you like these too? 'CC is like a madman's endless', 'What's wrong with Lux doing things and refusing to speak?', 'Alice is too extreme, maybe she would have checked it out earlier. It's better', 'Taoxiang doesn't have human rights anyway, and she won't resist if she secretly eats her for a few years', 'Minerva—'"
"Extreme thoughts that happen by chance in extreme situations, many of which I don't even remember thinking about." Ed persevered and continued to interrupt, "I'm not an anime character, so I won't be seen because of the dark thoughts that normal humans have. If you are mentally broken, don’t do useless work anymore.”
"Liar! Liar! Bad bomb! Even if you are evil in your heart, you still pretend to be kind! It's because of you that everyone died! It's because of your father that you disappear! You can't find your father if you don't die!" The bird roared, "You die too! I must kill you! Everyone will hunt you down!"
The difference in the way the two sides use mental power is too great, and any resistance from Ed will be eliminated without a trace before the thought arises. If spiritual power is compared to flying, the bird angel is a roc who can soar up 90,000 miles, while Ed is a rooster who has just jumped from the fence to the roof.
The mental shock surged like a tidal wave, slapping Ed's spirit wave after wave. It was as if countless needles were being pricked in the brain, and it was as if the brain was being smashed by someone on an anvil, as if the entire consciousness would be torn to shreds in the next moment. Apart from feeling pain, he had no extra thoughts, and he couldn't even think.
The NT ability has now become an amplifier of pain, how terrifying the tingling of the mind is, and every second that elapses has an eternity as long. Ed is like a drowning person. He doesn't know if he will drown in the next moment. He can only hold on to his increasingly blurred consciousness and wait for the oxygen that may never come.
"Spiritual world, infinite time, infinite pain." This was his last thought, "Going to the wrong set, this is not a machine fight at all, this is..."
I don't know how many eternities have passed, and a strong and weak consciousness finally found the battlefield, and tried to touch the ongoing battle, or torture. Her courage is certainly commendable, but that is not a field she can intervene in, as long as the slightest touch is no doubt, it will be instantly shattered.
So of course, Ed pushed her out with the only remaining strength, and then fell.
After another eternity, just when he thought he was going to sink to the bottom, all the pain suddenly disappeared, and even the consciousness of the bird angel could not feel it. Ed tried very hard to open a slit between the upper and lower eyelids, and a vague figure was close to Chi Chi.
"Tifa?"
First a cry of exclamation entered the eardrum, followed by a tactile sensation on the arm. In the past, it was probably described as severe pain, but now it seems to be no different from touching it.
"Give you another chance." The indifferent voice said with joy, "Depending on the answer, there is a certain probability that you will be stuffed into the barrel of the DX."
"CC my wife is so cute and cute, whoever dares to object will smash his dog's head." Ed said weakly, "Sniper with DX? I didn't know you were so powerful."
"Just know?" CC snorted triumphantly, "I told you in 1984 that I would drive a Gundam, and then you said you believed it. Now it seems that it was just a letter of mouth, but the truth is in my heart. Don't you believe it?"
"Eighty-four years?" Ed tried his best to recall, "Do you still remember things so early?"
"My life is too long, so I regularly forget the useless things, so that I can live a little easier. For example, a soap opera to pass the time can be watched over and over a dozen times without getting bored. Only the really important and unforgettable I will remember it for the rest of my life." CC suddenly lowered his volume and said, "For example, every conversation with you."
Ed gently folded his left hand on her right, looked at the display and said with emotion, "It's snowing again."
"Yeah, it's snowing again." CC stretched out his left hand towards the white elf on the main screen, his slender white fingers contrasting with the color of the snow, "Ed, I like snowflakes more and more now."
"Why do you say that?" Ed said as he leaned out and operated something with one hand on the DX interface.
"Looking at the snowflakes makes me think of hope. It feels like a bond connecting us. It was the same last time." CC lowered his outstretched arms and stared at the man's serious profile, "Hey, Ed, It's so quiet here, let's do something."
"Can you be quiet?" Ed continued to light without turning his head. "You turned off all the devices that can make sounds, and Roland is about to blow up the communication records, okay?"
"It doesn't matter, those have nothing to do with us." CC pouted playfully, "Do you think it's easy for me to find a place to live in a two-person world?"
"My fault." Ed replied quickly, "By the way, CC, did you know that the seat of the DX is deformable like the unicorn, both of which are designed by Lao Yang. However, the DX does not have NT-D, it is deformed. It is mainly used for anti-theft, and the driver who repeatedly enters the wrong password will be fixed in the seat and cannot move."
"This is the first time I know it, but I haven't studied it." CC was dumbfounded and alert, "What are you talking about?"
"Although there is always something in the TV series wishing you to find new happiness in the future, as long as you remember me in your heart." The cockpit door opened slowly, and the icy wind poured in with the broken snow, "But if it is possible, , I still selfishly hope you don't cuckold me in the future."
"Ed?" The suddenly deformed seat fixed CC, she struggled a few times but couldn't break free, she couldn't help but shouted anxiously, "What are you doing, Ed?!"
"DX has set up a simple autopilot, and if you take you near the base, you will be unshackled. I also notified him to receive MS from Bright's side." Ed showed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I think If you don’t come out and how to get out of the game, you probably have to miss the appointment.”
"What the hell happened?" Tears welled up from CC's eyes, "Can't we face it together? If we can't, at least die together! My life is impossible without you! Stop it, or I won't forgive you. !"
"Even just to be sure that I did make you good memories makes me feel that everything I've done so far is not in vain. You have a long life, don't always say that your time is stopped. Now, as long as you don't stop, there will be a road ahead." Ed leaned over and kissed her lips gently, "Don't stop."
After speaking, he jumped out of the cockpit and watched the DX fly into the distance under the control of the autopilot. Under his feet, a huge circular black shadow with a diameter of ten meters is constantly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wait for a long time, Xiao Ye?" Ed closed his eyes helplessly, "Thank you for your cooperation."
A huge force from out of nowhere suddenly dragged him into the shadow, and then a huge black and white sphere appeared above the shadow out of thin air, and Adrian Lingus seemed to have never existed.
