Chapter 43 Sister

"It's a pity." Li sighed. He did not hide his thoughts, and Li even waited for a rebellion or a conspiracy with a slight expectation. No matter what kind of situation happens, he is confident that he can deal with it properly.

Are you weak? Now it's true, but those who walk with themselves are the nuns. If someone wants to challenge the authority of the emperor, these crazy women should be the first to stand up. Using the nuns, Li can sweep away the opposition forces in the shortest time, and then establish a new order on his own white paper.

The social order will be rewritten by Li Lai. Li Zao has an idea about this. The whole Zhiyuan galaxy will become a roaring machine, running efficiently, just to prepare for a possible war. The roaring machine will continuously deliver energy and blood to Li's regiment. The Knights Templar will receive strong financial support in a short time.

Unfortunately, the whole process of the handover of rights is unusually smooth, smooth and boring. There is no conspiracy rebellion, there is no fluctuation in society, and the change Li expects can only come slowly.

Li entered the Corolla Gate Airport under the protection of the fleet. In order to welcome him, the huge airport had long been under martial law. Soon after, Li returned to the earth of Zhiyuanxing. After the grand welcome ceremony, there was a complicated inauguration ceremony. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the schedule, just like a rehearsal. Generally. This etiquette process lasted for a total of three days. During these three days, Li Pure used himself as a puppet and let the housekeeper and etiquette officials arrange himself. Three days later, when Li got the scepter representing the power of the governor and obtained the loyalty of the subjects in various important positions, from the etiquette, even if he had taken the position of governor, even if someone wanted to defect, they had missed the best opportunity.

The day after getting the governor's scepter, Li was invited by the former governor. He would enter the mysterious palace that no one had ever stepped into, see the true face of the mysterious former governor, and at the same time solve all the doubts in his happiness.

Dong Dong Dong.

The wooden door was knocked, and the sound was neither light nor heavy, just so that the people in the room could hear it clearly, but they would not feel too noisy.

It is said that from the details usually shown by the family servants, such as the sound of knocking on the door, walking and standing posture, the family's chefs and recipes, and various small places such, we can see whether the family is old and profound.

Li knew something about this, but he didn't think so.

Putting down the document in his hand, Li picked up the green tea and took a sip before saying, "Come in."

General Manager Williamson, wearing a straight black housekeeper's uniform, pushed the door and entered. After the old man entered the door, he waved his hand. The servant standing in the room left the room softly, waiting for the servant to go away. Williamson closed the door. Then he said carefully, "Your Excellency, I'm ready. Please follow me."

Li knew clearly what was going on. He closed the document in his hand and didn't say much. He stood up and left the room with Williamson.

Under the guidance of General Manager Williamson, Li You walked in a huge governor's mansion like a maze. There were too many rooms and corridors. It was not until a study that Williamson pushed open a bookshelf, and the two entered the legendary secret road.

They kept going down the stone stairs and passing through several long corridors and rooms. The two entered an elevator. The elevator continued to go down for five minutes. When the elevator door opened again, Li was greeted by a huge and empty darkness.

The old housekeeper took the flashlight and walked outside the elevator. He groped for a while, and then the light turned on with a "pop".

The lights lit up one after another, and finally lit up the underground building the size of two football fields.

"Is this place?" Li saw something like a locomotive in the center of the building and asked doubtfully, "The subway station?"

"Yes, my lord, this is the only way to see the former governor." So Williamson led Li to the front of the train and bowed to open the door for Lee. "Please come in."

Li walked into the carriage without hesitation. The decoration in the carriage was as gorgeous as ever. There were sofas, wine cabinets, and bookcases, just like a small and narrow living room.

Li walked to the wine cabinet, chose a bottle of good old wine for himself, poured a glass for himself, and casually pulled out a book from the bookcase, and then sat on the sofa.

Outside the carriage, Williamson has closed the door.

Immediately, the train started slowly.

This is a lonely journey. Even Williamson, as the general manager, doesn't seem to have the right to take this train. The driverless vehicle carried Li thousands of meters underground, or even tens of thousands of meters deep. The rumble roared in the underground tunnel, taking Li to the unknown distance.

But Li did not have a trace of fear. Even if he was no longer a pure Astart monk, he already knew what to be afraid of, but he did not feel any discomfort in this strange, lonely, and even depressing journey.

He drank some wine contentedly, read a book on the slightly shaky train for a while, and then lay on the sofa and took a nap for a while. When he woke up energetically, the door of the train had opened and the train had quietly stopped in a platform.

Li walked off the platform and saw the huge golden arch erected in front of him.

He opened the door and walked in.

Inside the arch is a huge room the size of a football field. Half of the room is filled with a huge machine. The thick cables are covered with machinery like the meridian blood vessels of the human body, with dim red lights flashing, and occasionally there is the sound of steam discharge.

"Robert, you're finally here." A voice came from all directions. I have been at the level for a long time, and time has separated us, but I believe that one day we will meet again, because you never break your promise. But this time has been so long that I have forgotten a lot of things.

Li narrowed his eyes and looked around. The light in the room was dim, and there were many places for people to hide in the huge machinery. "Where are you? Why don't you come out and talk?"

"I'm right in front of you."

"Oh?" Li's eyes searched between the gap between the cable and the steel, "Why didn't I see you?"

"You saw it, but you haven't realized it yet." The sound continued to speak with a three-dimensional surround sound effect. At the same time, the huge machinery occupying half of the football field roared. The steam gate began to erupt. The white steam permeated the room with the sound of steam, and the steel made a rubbing rumble. Through the steam, Li saw that the cables twisted like snakes, and the robotic arms poked out from the depths of the huge mechanical body in front of him, firmly clung to the ground, or penetrated deeply into the wall. At some joints, the electric sparks begin to jump. After a while, the huge thing stopped and the movement slowly became smaller. Finally, the red light went out, and the white fluorescent light lit up, illuminating the whole room. Under such a light, Li clearly saw a person's face, which came out from the depths of the machine.

It was a mechanical face. The metal shaped its face, the crimson mechanical eyes, and the metal luster of the face. It's nothing, but what's more amazing is that there is no human neck or even a body under this face, only various pipes and cables connected to the metal head. Yes, the old man in front of him only has one head. He doesn't have a human body. "Hello, Robert. Li." The face of the metal head pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he were smiling.

"Hello." Li looked at the face in front of him doubtfully and could only vaguely recognize that it was a woman's face. He frowned and asked, "What the hell are you?"

"I'm a human." The metal head expressed his current mood with a heavy bass. She said, "Once, I was still a human, but now I'm not sure what I am. Oh, Robert, Robert, I'm not like you. You have always been so lucky that you have become a member of Astart, with the supremely glorious genes and a body that never ages. Even time can't leave a mark on your body, and I'm just an ordinary person, just a good surname, a little bolder than ordinary people, a little more ideas, and a little smarter. But what's the use of this? In the face of the passage of time, my little cleverness can only make me survive so long.

"What the hell are you?"

"Have you forgotten? Of course, you can't still recognize me. This is nine thousand years, brother, it's me, Fei Wen.

"Fae, Fei Wen!?" Li was stunned. The sudden memory was that he was panicked. The situation beyond his imagination made him lose his calmness. Li panicked and took a step back.

Even in the face of the attack of three excellent Star Marines, Li can respond calmly without changing his face. Of course, this is nothing to Li at all. Living in the time of memory, Li repeated countless tragic battles in the space of consciousness. Even if he faced death again and again, he would not retreat. Even if the huge Titan stood in front of him and used its powerful laser destructive cannon against him, he would still not retreat; Li was just a A student, but he met a good teacher, and he studied very seriously. He experienced what Robert had experienced. In a sense, there was not much difference between Li and Robert on the battlefield. His spirit has withstood the harsh test. He is also a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, even if It's a demon that can't make him timid, and nothing can make him panic.

But now Li has retreated. An unprecedented and extremely strange feeling floated from the bottom of his heart. It is a strange feeling from his body. As a soldier of the Star Marines, Li has never had that feeling, but now he feels that it is fear.

"How, how can it be," Li almost tried his best to control his voice so that it did not tremble so clearly. "Fay Wen. Li? How could it be you? Nine thousand years have passed. It's impossible. You can't be still alive."

"But I'm still alive. Even if I'm not living so well, I'm still here to talk to you with a lingering body."

Fae Wen. Lee, Robert. Li, the relationship between the two can be faintly seen from the name alone. The two have the same surname and have lived under the same roof.

Vywen is Robert's sister.

"What the hell is going on?"

"If you really want to say it, it's a long story, but we have plenty of time," said "Robert, do you remember what you said to me before you left?"

"I..." Li Zhang was tongue-tied. He was completely impressed. Years of fighting made him lose a lot of things. The former Robert had already forgotten his childhood memories in the dark, and Li naturally would not pay attention to these things.

"Have you forgotten? No wonder, after all, it has been 9,000 years. But I remember it clearly." Fei Wen said, "Some people say that when people are old, they live in memories. It's a pity that there are some things that I can't forget even if I want to. At that time, Robert, you packed your bags and escaped from home at night, but you were hit by me, and I blocked you at the door of your house. I pulled the corner of your clothes and didn't let you go, so you stroked my head and said, 'I will definitely come back, and the family will be handed over to you.' That warmth seems to remain above my head, as if it had just happened, 'waiting for me.' That's exactly what you said at that time."

Listening to such a narrative, Li faintly saw a child standing in the moonlight. The thin little girl was wearing thin clothes and barefoot. She was shivering with cold, but she did not want to return to the warm quilt. The little girl just stubbornly stretched out her hand and pulled the corners of her clothes.

"Can't you not leave?"

The teenager looked up at the starry sky. Among the twinkling stars, there was his pursuit and more noble goals. He shook his head and said, "No."

"I don't want my eldest brother to go."

"Big brother doesn't go back. I will definitely come back, but before I come back, the house will be handed over to you."

"Well, I will guard our house until you come back, big brother."

"Then that's it."

"It's settled."

The two people's fists hit silently in the air, and the agreed oath was made.

Looking at the metallic head, Li's mood became slightly complicated for a moment. He felt guilty, but it was not him who forgot the oath.

'Yes, the responsibility is not on me. Why should I feel guilty? The guy who stood up with his little sister for 9,000 years is not me.'

But there was another voice in my heart: 'But I inherited his name, his body, and his honor. Naturally, it should also include his sins and debts.

'Yes, I'm Robert. Li'

After a while, Li sighed. He had to take responsibility, and he needed to deceive his sister again. This slightly chaotic situation made Li a little uncomfortable, but he was not a sentimental person. Li made a decision, but in the blink of an eye, Li thought of his words, "I have experienced a lot of things, fighting in countless hell-like worlds, and putting my life aside for the lofty goal and the great emperor. Too many things, too gorgeous world, too exciting life, but these are all excuses. I did forget the original agreement, and I renegave my promise," Li said, "I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter," said Fei Wen with her metallic eyelids hanging down, "Just come back."

In an instant, the warmth contained in this soft words almost made Li cry. He had to smile reluctantly, "How did you come over these years?"

"What else can I do besides hard support?" Fei Wen said softly, "After you left, something happened to the family. I took over the inheritance of the family, and later I found that I couldn't have children. This is a big problem. If there are no descendants, the family will be ruined, and our Li family is relatively special. At that time, I couldn't find a child to adopt. In a word, there are many reasons, so I finally caused this result. I keep transforming myself so that I can exist for a long time. For the first time, I looked forward to your early return, and then I began to be disappointed in you. Finally, I began to hate you. Now, I don't feel anything. I just feel tired.

"Why do you have to do this? The Li family is just a false reputation," Li looked at the huge machine in front of him and said, "You are too harsh on yourself."

"Brother, you were still very young when you left home, so you don't know anything about the family. If it's just an ordinary family, it's okay to be finished. I know this better than you. Even the stars in the sky are extinguished. What kind of family can exist forever? But the Li family is different. Our family is different from ordinary nobles. Our family is the guardian, and we guard the fire.

"Fire? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Robert, my brother, the current patriarch Li. Listen carefully. What you want to hear next may be the most important secret in the galaxy," said Feren warned: "Never mention this secret to anyone else, unless that person is your successor. This secret is too important. Once he is made public, what awaits you and me is complete destruction. No, it may not only be you and me, but also the whole human race that will be destroyed.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

"You say that because you don't know what our family is guarding. It's the fire of human civilization," said Feren solemnly, "It's STC. Do you know what it is?"

"I've probably heard of it."

"The old saying is StandardTemplateConstruction, that is, 'standard construction template'."
