New Year 3992, Church
"Thank you for your explanation, Priest Ling, I'm much better than before."
"Yeah, thank you so much, you have taught me a lot as an observer."
Ling Xing smiled and sent the two of them out of the church, "It's an honor to help you both. If you really want to thank God, please thank God. He guided me to say this, and I'm just his spokesperson."
He sent the two thankfuls out of the gate, and stood with their hands in the church yard. Although the place is lush and lush all year round, the plant varieties are always a little monotonous. It would be nice to add some flowers and plants.
At this time, there were whispers from the two who had just left. Probably they thought that Ling Xing had gone back, but unexpectedly, their conversation was heard by the parties involved.
"Priest Ling is really a good person."
"Yeah, it's a pity that it's unwilling to form a contract until now. It's worrying, but he has been in a rudimentary state for more than seventy years."
"Hey, I heard that he is a survivor of the Ember Incident, is this true?"
"Shh..." The man deliberately lowered his voice again, and the two gradually moved away. Now Ling Xing couldn't hear their conversation.
Ling Xing's expression stiffened for a moment when he heard those four words, but he quickly adjusted, even if there was a person standing in front of him staring at him all the time, he might not be able to find the clue.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he saw an aircraft approaching from a distance and landed exactly outside the church. After seeing the sign on it, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
"You are using a military vehicle to travel without permission." On the aircraft driven by the visitor, the emblem dedicated to the marshal is prominently marked, but Ling Xing certainly does not think that it is the marshal himself who came here and can drive his car everywhere. The person who ran must be the marshal's deceased child - there is no doubt that the current bishop of the church is Jing Shi.
Jing Shi was wearing a large robe, so that Ling Xing didn't see the person behind him for the first time, but when Jing Shi slanted, the young form behind him appeared in Ling Xing's field of vision.
This baby state feels very strange. He visually estimated that he is about ten centimeters taller than Ling Xing. In the baby state, this is a very tall and straight height.
What is more striking about him, however, is his facial features, on which no expression can be seen.
He looks like a rather indifferent person, Ling Xing thought to himself.
"I don't have a private military vehicle this time," Jing Shi said as he walked. Although he was a bishop and Ling Xing was just a priest of a small church, they became close friends and spoke quite casually. , "I was ordered to perform military affairs this time, and I stopped by to take a look when I passed by you."
Ling Xing teased, "Even people from the church have to be dispatched to perform official duties. The military is so short of people, in fact, you just stopped by to see if I'm still alive and lost?"
"You still know?" Jing Shi hated it, "I think you know better than anyone that the highest life span of a baby in history has not exceeded a hundred years. You have been baby for seventy-six years this year, and you really plan to delay this. down?"
Ling Xing smiled and was about to answer, but then he thought that something was wrong, "You brought someone here this time, could it be..."
This time, Jing Shi couldn't help knocking him on the head, "Do you think I'm here to introduce you to someone? Your thoughts are too divergent."
Ling Xing knew that he would be wrong, and was a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at the young state, but the other party didn't respond, which made his embarrassment a little less.
"Then this is...?"
Jing Shi looked back and said, "This is my mission. Bikong school doctor has just confirmed his Lone Star status. People like this cannot stay on campus. I will bring him back and stay with me temporarily. In two days, wait for the military to arrange his whereabouts before sending him away."
Ling Xing was surprised, "Lone Star? A rare Lone Star that only appears in five hundred years?"
"Yes, Lone Star will be very dangerous after awakening. He cannot be allowed to live with other infants. He just has a different emotional area from us, and there is no problem with his IQ. You can try to communicate with him."
Jing Shi turned around and introduced the baby, "This is Ling Xing, the priest of this church."
"Hello," Gu Xing said with an expressionless face.
Ling Xing hurriedly replied, "Hello Lone Star, ah no, Lone Star is just a code name, you should have your own name, may I ask what your name is?"
"Jing Yu."
"Jing Yu," Ling Xing stretched out his hand with a smile, "Nice to meet you."
Jing Yu reached out and shook hands with him, but did not express joy like he did.
Ling Xing looked at Jing Yu who looked like this and sighed, "As a baby, but you can't live with the same kind, if you go to the military, who will treat him as a baby?"
"There's no way," Jing Shi also expressed helpless, "Who made Lone Star always used by the military as the strongest combat weapon since ancient times, in their eyes, Lone Star no longer belongs to the category of human beings, they can only Raise them like killing robots, and Lone Star's loyalty will make them unconditionally carry out any order."
Ling Xing frowned, "They don't understand the feelings of human beings anymore. Wouldn't it be worse if they let this go on? I don't know how many innocent aliens will suffer because of this."
He lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly came up with a plan.
"Do you think this is okay? Let me take care of him until he wakes up."
"Don't be fooling around," Jing Shi vetoed, "Gu Xing can't stay with any baby, of course you. When they awaken, they will find a strongest opponent from the awakened baby to kill, so that to fully develop, and you are already awakened."
"I just need to be careful. Even if he is Lone Star, it will take an average of ten years for him to fully awaken, and it will take a long time. During this time, although I can't teach him human feelings, at least let him understand human beings. Right and wrong in society, let him live like an ordinary baby as much as possible, and when he wakes up, I swear that I will not interfere with the behavior of the military again."
"This..." Jing Shi hesitated.
Ling Xing turned directly to Jing Yu, "Look, there is also a star in my name, we are both babies, our eyes are the same color, and we both studied in Bikong. For the sake of what we have in common. , are you willing to stay and live with me?"
"If this is an order," Jing Yu replied without blinking.
"Look, he is willing," Ling Xing immediately turned to Jing Shi, completely distorting the other party's answer.
Jing Shi was helpless, so he had to think about it, "I'll try it with the marshal."
"You have such a good relationship with the marshal, he will definitely agree if you say a few more words," Ling Xing said with an expression of victory.
"It's up to the military to decide this kind of thing," Jing Shi complained about him, "Since you envy our good relationship, you should hurry up and make a contract, why do you keep insisting on being single?"
Ling Xing smiled and said nothing, pretending not to hear the bishop's question.
"In this case, I will leave him here first, and after the military department has finished discussing it, I will decide whether to stay or go."
"No problem, I will take good care of him."
"But do you have a place to live here?" It wasn't that Jing Shi despised him. He had seen Ling Xing's bedroom, and it was too crowded to live alone, not to mention another mouthful.
"My bedroom is a little small, but I will find a way," Ling Xing asked Jing Yu, "Do you mind?"
"do not mind."
"Let's go then," Ling Xing reached out to him, "I'll take you to see your new home."
Jing Shi looked at their backs and fell into contemplation, Lone Star, no, Jing Yu, can he really understand what home is
—
"Here," Ling Xing led Jing Yu to his room, and even he felt a little embarrassed after pushing the door open, "it seems a little narrow."
Jing Yu didn't show any concern, as if to him, a spacious palace and a narrow bedroom made no difference.
"I can't get out of bed here. I will put a top bunk on my bed later. I sleep in the top bunk and you sleep in the bottom bunk. How about this?"
"Okay," Jing Yu answered the same no matter what question he asked.
"Where's your luggage? Let me help you put it down."
Jing Yu didn't use his help, he opened the luggage by himself, took out the frequently used things, and arranged them neatly.
Ling Xing glanced at the time, "Let's have dinner first, and make bed together after dinner... Oh, by the way, I don't know what you usually like to eat?"
Jing Yu picked out two things from the things he carried with him, Ling Xing looked down, a bottle of pure water and a bag of original energy bread.
"Oh, I'm not talking about emergency food, just what you usually like to eat."
"I usually eat this," Jing Yu replied as a matter of course.
Ling Xing was surprised, "You've been eating this all the time? It's been like this every day for a year and a half since you woke up?"
Jing Yu didn't understand why this was surprising, "It's just food and water."
"No no no," Ling Xing waved his hands hurriedly, "Even if it is food and water to satisfy your stomach and quench your thirst, there are many varieties. Hasn't anyone ever suggested you try something else?"
Jing Yu shook his head.
Ling Xing thought it was incredible. If there was no other choice for this kind of energy bread, who would eat it all the time.
"You wait."
He ran out, bought a bottle of energy drink from the drink vending machine, and handed it to him.
"You try this."
Jing Yu obediently took it and took a sip.
"How is it?" Ling Xing asked cautiously.
"Sweet."
Ling Xing was amused by the answer, "Of course, apart from the taste, it can also replenish energy for your body. It is best to drink it after exercise."
"Also, there are more varieties of food. Just take the energy bread you eat, there are five or six different flavors."
He rummaged through the house, and he actually found a pack of past inventory, a pink packaging bag that seemed to have been bought when he was out camping last time.
"This energy bread is strawberry flavored, you can eat it."
Jing Yu took a piece and chewed it in his mouth carefully, and it took a long time to respond to Ling Xing who was looking forward to it.
"good to eat."
Ling Xing smiled sincerely, "Look, I didn't lie to you, as long as you are willing to try, there are still many delicious things in this world. People produce so many kinds of food to make our diet structure different. No matter how simple it is, whether it is in terms of taste or nutrition, it is worth tasting.”
Jing Yu nodded in understanding.
"Let's go," Ling Xing took away the bread and pure water in his hand, "I'll take you to experience more delicious food."
