The Star Knight - 70. Chapter Seventy
I don’t know how long it took, Opal heard someone calling outside.
“Open the door!” Xun roared: “Do you fucking want to escape? Coward! Come out! If you’re sad, go and avenge Raymond!”
“E7, open the door.” Opal said.
The hatch opened, and he rushed in quickly. He slammed him to the ground by the collar of the opal. The spacecraft rang like a sound. The opal was dirty, smelly and sweaty, and quickly yelled in his ear. : “Get up! Cheer up! You see what you look like!”
“I know.” Opal said: “I understand the truth, I understand. I will continue to work hard.”
Opal staggered up to go to the bathroom. Xun had prepared a big talk, but he couldn’t say anything for a while.
He stumbled to take a bath, and Sid sat in the living room, and packed his things casually.
He breathed out quickly, opal shaved his beard inside, changed into clean clothes after taking a shower, and quickly said: “Are you joining us? Or are we joining you? I don’t care, or you can apply to join the group. .”
Opal said: “No, I have my own plans.”
Xun frowned and looked at him for a while, and Sid said, “Let’s go out for a meal first and get some sun. It will be better.”
The three people walked out of the tarmac, the sun was shining outside, the gloomy days had passed, and Lie Xing returned to the sun.
Under this pale sun, there is always a trace of unspeakable misery and pain. The pain caused by this war may only be gradually smoothed out by waiting time.
Opal was wearing Raymond’s necklace and the pendant was attached to his heart, feeling the ups and downs of emotions on it.
He even didn’t know if Raymond had really left him, maybe he was still with him.
Trade unions in all cities opened ahead of schedule, the New Year’s holiday ended, and the city of war souls, which had been baptized by war twice, was rebuilt again. They got off the bus at Sunlight City, quickly ordered a lot of food, and asked, “How long have you not eaten?”
“For several days.” Opal said.
He ate the bread with a little blood on his face, and Sid asked, “Are you going to continue to hire people?”
Opal’s mouth was stuffed with food, he glanced at Sid, swallowed with difficulty, and said, “With the mercenary group’s establishment, I plan to do some single-player missions first, and then recruit into the team when I meet suitable ones.”
Xun said: “We are planning to follow you and let you be the team leader…”
Opal took a sip of his drink, waved his hand, motioned not to say anything, and paid for the bill, saying: “I’ll go to the union to check it out. This meal is my request.”
His mood has completely calmed down. Compared with the turbulent sadness, he is more like a turbulent dead at this moment. The faith in his heart has been turned into burning embers, and there is no more enthusiasm for life.
But many things still need to be done, such as eating, sleeping, and making money, at least on the surface to live the same as before.
He went to the third floor, took his ID card to the team window to apply for Raymond’s pension, and noted the sacrifice of members.
There were a lot of people in the line, and a mercenary asked one by one: “Are you recruiting new members? How about you? Do you recruit new members?”
Opal stared at him as if he had seen himself before.
He asked Opal, and Opal said: “No, I don’t hire people, I’m here to receive the comrades-in-arms pension.”
The mercenary insisted: “I can fill in his position, you see, I got an A in my recruit course. I used to be a veteran, and I won’t hold you back!”
“Come on!” Another team leader said: “The future is under your feet. You will find the team, as long as you don’t give up.”
The recruit said: “But no one recruits me now!”
Opal said: “Go to the next floor to get a few simple one-man commissions. Maybe there are mercenaries who want to find someone to partner with?”
“Okay.” The recruit said helplessly.
“I wish you a long life.” Opal smiled with tears in his eyes.
The people in front of the line left, Opal came to the window, and the clerk said: “I wish you a long life-you are another pensioner, not even the king is here, don’t be too sad, we will take revenge one day. Of… let me see…”
“My spouse.” Opal said: “On the first day of marriage, I sacrificed in the defense battle.”
The clerk said: “Okay… it’s Lemmon, right? The state also gave him a pension, plus all his assets during his lifetime, totaling 1.050 million, but this money requires you and his Parents, as well as children…If there are any, we will split equally. Wrench does not recommend that you take your pension to retire.”
“I have no plans to be a tortoise.” Opal said.
“That’s good.” The clerk said: “Fill out the form.”
Opal entered the reason for receiving it on the light screen and said: “I don’t know where his hometown is.”
“What about immediate family members?” the clerk asked.
Opal: “No.”
“Ah, really not, so it’s all yours.” The clerk said: “I wish you a long life, your team has only two people? The team leader sacrifices, the deputy team leader is automatically promoted, and all the team permissions are opened for you… …”
After receiving his pension, Opal walked slowly on the sun-exposed street, passing by the shop, and suddenly remembered something.
“Is there a newest type of dream loom?” Opal said: “The kind that can play with people in memory…”
“Yes!” the boss said: “This type of model is the most people buy, as long as 6888 credits…”
Opal said: “Take the most expensive.”
The boss said: “The luxury version only has a few more green mercury tide effects, you might as well buy more scene chips…”
Opal said: “I want this, buy it.”
The boss said: “Where is the chip?”
Opal said: “I want a copy, so can I be with him?”
The boss said: “Here, you read the manual, go back and read it carefully before using it, don’t indulge…”
Opal bought the dream loom and returned to the spacecraft, maneuvered it into the air, flew to the universe and stopped, and carefully read the manual of the dream loom.
Before starting the dream machine, connect the nerve patch and try to construct your own fantasy object until the completion degree is 100%, and save it.
Opal entered the virtual spiritual world, stood on the beach, clicked the option on the dream weaving machine, constructed Raymond’s body, and tried to recall it according to his own memory.
Raymond appeared, and he stood in front of Opal.
“I love you.” Raymond said, “I love you crazy.”
Opal murmured: “Me too.”
Raymond said: “When you laugh, my heart beats thumping.”
Opal said: “Your smile is beautiful, I love you, Raymond.”
Raymond’s eyes were blurred. He didn’t know who he was, and he didn’t have any emotions. Opal quit the dream loom and lay down on the sofa by his own fantasy movement, feeling the pulsations, and then set the time again. Enter the programming world of the dream loom.
He chose Raymond’s behavior mode and became crazy intimacy with him in the fantasy world.
They played for a long time by the beach, the sun was shining on Lei Meng’s bronze toned skin, the scene was switched again, to the gorgeous room of the old castle, after a while, the scene was changed again, kissing wantonly on the grass in the wild, opal infatuated Touching Leimeng’s face, his waist, and his sharp muscles.
Raymond was sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, holding him tightly, seemingly never tired, Opal looked at him deeply and held him with each other.
Time stopped and the fantasy movement called the police.
Opal was almost in shock, sweating profusely when he opened his eyes, a mess.
He panted heavily, raised his hand and pressed the setting button, and the dream loom flashed a warning red light: “Your entertainment time is too long, please adjust your physical condition and try again.”
Opal patted impatiently, and finally had to give up, staggering to get up to take a bath.
He drove the spaceship back to Lie Xing, slept for a while, and his dream was full of Raymond. After waking up, he went out to eat and bought some drinks to replenish his energy. When he returned, he took off his clothes and lay on the sofa to start a fantasy movement. And dream weaving machine.
“I love you.” Raymond said to Opal.
“I love you too.” Opal stood by the hot spring and said, “Come, let’s hug.”
They hugged each other and entangled next to the water vapor in the hot spring. After an unknown period of time, the dream loom called the police again, making Opal wake up from the hallucinations.
He was almost collapsed, and then he supplemented his stamina again and again, and indulged himself in his dreams again and again. Raymond would only repeat those words mechanically, without a smile on his handsome face, Opal asked: ” Will you laugh? When you smile, my heart beats thumping.”
Raymond in the dream couldn’t answer him, Opal turned on the control panel, reset the behavior mode for the person he imagined, and chose “affectionate.”
Raymond’s eyes changed, and he said, “I love you.”
Opal said: “I love you too.”
He pressed the corner of Raymond’s mouth with his thumb, trying to make him laugh. Raymond would be wrong, lowered his head and kissed him. Opal’s nose was sour and tears rolled in his eye sockets.
Raymond whispered: “Wife, go home.”
Opal said: “We are at home, come and hug me.”
Until the dream loom called the police again, Opal woke up from the illusion in sweat, staring at the ceiling blankly.
He was in shock, his eyes were black and dizzy, and he lay down for a long, long time before he came back. When he got up, his feet were vacant. He looked at the time, and it was a long time since the new year.
Opal opened the hatch, there was a magnetic storm outside, and the world was dim.
He turned on the food maker, ate something indiscriminately to fill his stomach, and turned on the fantasy movement and dream maker.
“Your accumulated usage time is too long. It is recommended that you adjust yourself.” Dreaming machine alarmed again: “This suggestion will remind you every 30 minutes.”
Opal pressed a few times and forcibly entered the virtual world. Raymond was sitting on a bench in a park, wearing a windbreaker-it was called by Opal from the fashion library and put on him. His hair was cut by Opal. It’s very short, the stubble is shaved and sexy, sitting in a daze in the U galaxy tulip garden on Rembrandt’s planet.
“Later, let’s go to the villa to have fun.” Opal took two bottles of scented tea from a shop that no one looked at, and said, “Drink something?”
“I love you.” Raymond said.
“I love you too.” Opal said: “I feed you, my dear.”
Opal twisted the cap of the blooming tea, took a sip, and gave it to Raymond to drink, and Raymond drank it.
Opal rides on Raymond’s thigh, and kisses his lips passionately every time he takes a scent of scented tea, until he feeds a bottle of scented tea, his lips stare into his eyes intently and time-sharing.
Raymond said: “I love you.”
Opal: “I love you too.”
Raymond added: “Your accumulated usage time is too long. It is recommended that you adjust yourself in the real world to avoid indulging in the virtual world.”
Opal said nothing, turned off the dream loom and returned to the quiet spaceship.
The top light of E7 was still on, Opal stood in front of the console, watching the bright starry sky outside the porthole, raised his hand to wipe the tears, shook his head, and cried loudly.
Raymond left him anyway.
After another magnetic storm passed, Opal slept for a full 36 hours, and finally got up tired, put away the dream loom, put on clean clothes, took a shower, and went to Sunlight City to pick up the task.
His team has no organization and needs to make up personnel to receive team tasks. Many people wanted to join the Opal team, but he refused one by one.
He took a single commission to help a lady of the Republic find her ran away son, and then found him on the Sphinx, took the boy by the ear, and took him home.
After coming back, he took on a single-player mission on the planet Surin, recovering the missing robot. This mission took him almost no time, looking for the robot in the direction where it left, and he quickly found it.
However, Opal gradually discovered one thing-the power of his conviction was gone.
When he used hypnotism to let the runaway teenager follow him, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he had no effect. He could only be beaten and tied to the spaceship.
When looking for the missing robot, the power of belief can no longer radiate out to perceive the world around him. He can’t even find the slightest belief. His heart is empty, just like a certain ability that has been filled in his heart and quietly leaves himself after waking up. go.
It’s like missing a hand. I wanted to pick up something with my left hand. One day I found that my mind could no longer drive this hand. When I tried harder, I found that it was no longer there.
Opal thought for a long time and had to admit that his belief was dead, and Raymond’s departure took away all the power of belief in Opal.
He didn’t even know the meaning of accepting the commission and completing the commission. After receiving the reward, he simply said thank you, deposited the money in his account, and squeezed out between the squabbling clerk and the mercenary who were blushing and the mercenary. In a daze in the lobby, go to the window to accept the request.
In the dead of night, Opal will turn on the dream machine and stand quietly in front of Raymond.
Raymond said: “I love you.”
Opal said: “I love you too.”
He embraced Raymond’s neck, leaned forward, kissed him, then turned and left, closing the dream machine.
Raymond’s necklace remained in his heart, and it hasn’t shined since that day.
Opal intends to work hard to carry on the commission, no matter how dangerous it is, always meet a situation that cannot be dealt with, and then die in a certain commission, die in a cold place in the universe, and disappear from there.
But none of the tasks he encountered were difficult. The single-person commissioned points were few and the rewards were low, and they were all simple.
“Brother, does your regiment accept people?” a recruit asked: “I’m F grade.”
“No, no people will be accepted.” A head of the regiment said: “Our regiment is full.”
“You won’t regret recruiting me.” The recruit said, “I have rich combat experience…”
Opal saw the recruit again. He was about the same height as himself, with a dark skin, very thin and tough. He wore a field hat and a mercenary jacket. The wind and sun made him look much more mature than Opal. .
Opal recognized the recruit and asked, “You haven’t found the regiment yet?”
When the recruit saw a show, he handed over his mercenary diary and said, “Brother, are you willing to accept me? Just give me a chance and I won’t disappoint you.”
Opal opened his mercenary diary and saw that his name was Callens, and suddenly he had an impression.
“You are the one… I remember.” Opal said: “Karens! I saw you outside the tarmac!”
Karens laughed: “I recognized you a long time ago, but you forgot about me. I remember you still have a teammate, what about the others?”
Opal said: “He died in the defense battle.”
Karens nodded and said, “I’m sorry.”
The two were quiet for a while, and Karens took out his cigarette and lit it, and said: “After the recruit training, I went home for a while, and I heard the bad news here at home. When I came back, the king had already changed, Azerah. S… how do you put it.”
Opal nodded and said: “He is a good man.”
Karens said: “Yes.”
Opal said: “A lot of people died in that battle. Do you plan to continue to develop in Liexing? Now Liexing is in an unprecedented downturn. The evaluation of combat power is also much lower, and even fewer commissions…”
Karens said: “The new king promised to avenge Azeroth, everything will be fine, won’t it?”
Opal pondered for a long time, nodded, closed Callance’s diary, and said: “Try to join me, go, and work together.”
Karens smiled and said, “Great, thank you for giving me this opportunity, brother.”
Opal went to apply for Karens to join the group as a member of the probationary period, went to the second floor to fill in the form, and then came down to accept the commission.
The sun is shining, and it’s a new day.
