Machine Lion Roar

On a clean and quiet street, a figure with sunglasses and red hair was walking across the street quickly and came to the door of a house with white walls.

"Crack!"

The figure quickly looked at the surrounding movement and after confirming that no one was following him, he opened the door and returned to the room they called the safe house.

"You are back. How did you get today?"

In the room, a young man who was working on some confusing device raised his head and glanced at the figure, then greeted him casually.

"Yeah. It's the same. The institute's guard is much stricter than I remember."

Taking off the sunglasses, the red hair faded, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of others.

He, with the help of Luo and everyone from the recycling house, returned to the capital of PLANT, Nigor Amalfi in April.

However, using disguise and other means to hide his identity, he went to Nigor near the research room where his father Yuli Amalfi was located, but found that at the intersection 100 meters away from the institute, there was already a group of Zaft soldiers on the road. Interrogate the passing cars and pedestrians.

This discovery caused Nigor to try to get into the research room, and his plan to face his father Yuri Amalfi directly failed.

In the following days, many attempts to enter the institute in different ways still failed.

This made Nigor couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"Ro. How about the professors?"

The teenager who was sitting on the floor playing an unknown device waved his hand casually.

"Professor? They seem to be out. They will be back later. Don't worry!"

At this moment, the AI ​​Xiaoba who was placed next to Luo gave a message.

"Nigor, based on the analysis of the news announced by the PLANT Supreme Council during this period, the decision-making deviation of the Supreme Council has some abnormal values."

Xiao Ba's words made Nigor puzzled, and when he looked at Xiao Ba's owner Luo, the latter also looked inexplicable.

"Nigal, don't look at me. I will only play tricks on these machines. I don't understand Xiaoba's inexplicable speech from time to time."

Luo spread out his oily hands, showing a helpless expression.

This made Nigor couldn't help but smile.

During the time he returned to April City, he had seen how strange this team was, no doubt a miscellaneous army.

"Oh! That's right. Before the professor left, she seemed to leave you a message."

Luo Xiang suddenly heard something, and pointed at the table not far away.

There, a compact disc was lying quietly on the table.

Unknown Nigor went up to pick up the CD and returned to his room. When he was about to check what was inside, he saw a note that was pressed under the CD.

"this is?!"

——————

The climate in April City is still as mild as I remember.

Sitting on the rail elevator, on the way down from the port to the city, looking at the green city below, Lacus could not help showing nostalgia in her eyes.

Especially after everything she has experienced during this period of time, people, things, and even the hot and cold climate on the earth, when facing the unchanging warmth of April City again, the indescribable sense of loss has always been Haunted in Lux's heart.

"Audrey."

Lei Mingkai's voice came from behind.

Lacus looked back, but found that the people around him were talking about the silver mask Lei Mingkai was wearing at the moment.

From the small comments, it is not difficult for Lacus to hear that the people around him seem to regard Lei Mingkai's behavior in wearing a mask as some kind of idol worship.

And this so-called idol may be the man who is most valued by the current Chairman of National Defense and will be the new Chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council, Patrick Sala, among Zaft at the moment, Lau Lu Cruz.

"Everyone regards you as a fan of Captain Cruze!"

Lacus retracted her gaze and looked at Lei Mingkai with a smile.

"Perhaps! As long as you wear a mask, this is inevitable."

Lei Mingkai could see clearly.

After all, Lei Mingkai couldn't use the holographic image necklace to disguise like Lacus, so he could only use a mask to hide his face.

Fortunately, with the influence of Patrick Sarah, the strong wind that swept the PLANT, Kruze quickly gained a good reputation in Zaft and even the PLANT people. Lei Ming put on a mask. Kai was not treated as a weird person. Even when he passed through the port security check, the Zaft soldiers around him gave Lei Mingkai encouragement with the eyes that you know, everyone knows.

This situation made Lei Mingkai dumbfounded.

After the little teasing between the two, Lux's expression became a bit lonely.

"Kay. You said everyone is staying here, is it really good?"

The scorching desert, the high and cold snow-capped mountains, the vast sky, and the cold and mysterious far north have caused the impact on Lakri, which has not been completely digested.

After seeing that the outside world is so vast, after returning to PLANT's April City, Lacus suddenly had a colonial satellite that these adjusters regarded as home, perhaps just a cage!

"Now, there is nothing wrong with it."

Lei Mingkai knew what Lacus was thinking at the moment, but according to the external situation, the situation where the adjusters concentrated to keep warm is the general trend.

"Is there nothing wrong?"

Lacus lowered her eyes and shook her head silently.

Perhaps, at the moment, focusing on group warming is the only feasible way.

But what's next?

One year,

Two years,

Even five years,

What about ten years later?

Fixing one's own footsteps and vision in these colonial satellites, using the victim's thinking and address to limit one's identity, to win the end of sympathy from the outside world...

Lux's eyes dimmed involuntarily.

If that were the case, the citizens who fixed themselves among these colonial satellites would probably become the victims of some people.

"Ding Dong!"

The rail elevator has reached its destination.

When the breeze of April City gently stroked Lux's hair again, it also brought Lux's thoughts back to reality.

"Let's go! Audrey. They are still waiting for us."

Half an hour later, Lei Mingkai and Lakes who were walking along the main road came to a small house.

And on the lawn in front of the cottage, an old man was sitting in a wicker chair leisurely, ignoring Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​who were standing in front.

"Here, old man, do they live here?"

Lei Mingkai saw the old man's posture, and some images buried in his memory quietly came out.

really.

No matter what Lei Mingkai asked, the old man still didn't respond, and he was still sitting on the wicker chair slowly shaking back and forth.

"Kay. Let me try!"

Lacus volunteered, but was stopped by Lei Mingkai.

"No. No need. Lux. Call that guy out."

As soon as Lei Mingkai's voice fell, the door of the hut was knocked open from the inside out.

"Boo!"

When the huge door knocking sounded, a figure rolled to the ground.

This scene made Lei Mingkai and Luxi look at each other.

The figure that fell to the ground was the boy who Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​had only met once, Sven Carl Bayan.

The boy who was almost killed in Lei Mingkai's hands, now when they meet again, he rolled out of the house and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Swain. Stay out for me before you figure it out!"

In doubt, Cong Yunjie's voice also came out of the room.

"Cong Yunjie, what happened?"

Lei Mingkai asked loudly when he heard Cong Yunjie's voice.

"This voice? Is it Kay?"

"It's me! What happened?"

Cong Yunjie is here, everything is easy.

Lei Mingkai stopped paying attention to the transparent old man. He lifted his steps and walked past Shi Wen, who got up embarrassedly. He came to the door of the hut and asked Cong Yunjie who came out of it.

"It's just a few small things."

Cong Yunjie said subconsciously, and then changed his words:

"Sven has never left this house in the half month since he came here."

"Hasn't left this house for half a month?"

Lei Mingkai and Laksi showed a hint of surprise together.

Swan Carl Bayan is not the kind of person who can stay at home, right?

"Well, if it weren't for the old Bart, this guy would have starved to death!"

Cong Yunjie hated iron but not steel.

But Shi Wen, who stood up again, patted the dust on his body blankly, and stood there without refuting or speaking.

Not to mention Cong Yunjie, even Lei Mingkai felt a headache when he saw Shi Wen's lack of oil and salt.

"Hey, let this young man stay here! So that I can do something."

At this moment, the old man who had not responded to Lei Mingkai's inquiry suddenly spoke.

Seeing him, it seems that he wants to plead with Sven?!

Cong Yunjie's eyes twitched a few times, and in the end he nodded silently, agreeing to the old man's request.

"Thank you! I will let this young man stay in the house without disturbing you."

The old man seemed to perceive something, and after solemnly gave a promise, he slowly got up from the wicker chair, walked to Swain's side, pulled him away, turned and walked into the next room.

After watching the old and young leave, Cong Yunjie slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unexpectedly, the famous leader of the Serpent's Tail would still look like this."

The fate of Sven Carl Bayan may have changed at this moment.

"It's just sentimental for a while! Okay. Kay, Miss Audrey. We have already inquired about the information you asked for. Please come to the house and speak!"

Half an hour later, under the greeting of Lolita Yazhe, Lei Mingkai and Lacus sitting on the sofa were attracted by a document.

When I opened the file, the first thing I saw was a photo.

A photo that changed the eyes of Lei Mingkai and Lux.

Above the photo, there is the gentle pink princess and a pale face with a bandage on his head, but Lei Mingkai and Lacus are very familiar with the scene sitting on the bedside and chatting.

"This is Kira?!"

In an instant, Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​recognized the true identity of the teenager.

But compared to Lux's shock, Lei Mingkai's attention is on the other side.

"Is this photo safe?"

Yes.

The pink princess that appears on the screen is undoubtedly a fake, but the person who can take this picture is probably not an ordinary person, right?

Lolita Yazhe glanced at Cong Yunjie, and with the latter's consent, she spoke the truth.

"The source of this photo is a servant who works in the Klein faction mansion. However, when we got this picture, we did not contact the servant, but agreed upon a few years ago. But I got it from a dark pile that was not very stable."

"Servant? Where is that servant?"

Lacus quickly asked.

Lolita Yazhe shook her head.

"I don't know. But in the subsequent contact, I didn't get a response from the other party. Maybe..."

"Has it been discovered?"

As long as he saw Lolita Yazhe's expression, Lei Mingkai guessed the fate of the servant.

It's not missing, or it's been murdered.

"How come? I don't even know who that servant is."

Lacus's gaze fluctuated slightly, and she looked at the face in the photo that Zhengqiao smiled.

That was her face, but without her own knowledge, she maintained an intimate attitude with the boy named Kira Yamato and a friend of Aslan Sarah.

"Who the servant is, we don't know. But what we do know is that Klein's little princess seems to have betrayed the engagement she made since she was a child."

"what?!"

Lux raised her head suddenly and stared at Lolita Yazhe.

"Ah...From our observations a few days ago, we know that since the boy in the photo was sent to Klein's house, the little princess has not appeared in the public eye much except for necessary official activities."

Lolita Yazhe's narration made Lacus' heart gradually sink to the bottom.

Behind the swaggering action of the counterfeit who pretended to be himself, it must be the leader of the Klein faction, that is, his father, Higel Klein, is probably already controlled by the opponent!

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying Lacus could not help feeling cold hands and feet.

Just as the colder, heart-warming cold swept across Lacus's body, a warmth quietly covered her hands.

"Don't worry! Everything will be fine."

Lei Mingkai's voice rang softly in Lux's ears, which inadvertently stabilized Lux's mind that was gradually flustered because of worrying about his father's situation.

"Kay. I..."

Lei Mingkai shook his head slightly and said affirmatively:

"I will make arrangements."

After that, Lei Mingkai looked at Cong Yunjie.

"Hey, I wonder if you can contact Shang Luo and them?"

Cong Yunjie's gaze shifted from the face of the teenager in the photo, looking at Lei Mingkai and nodding affirmatively.

"can."
