On the clean and quiet street, a figure with sunglasses and red hair was walking quickly through the street and came to the door of a house with white walls.
"Click!"
The figure quickly scanned the surroundings. After confirming that no one was following him, he opened the door and returned to the room they called the safe house.
"You're back. How's today's harvest? "
Inside the house, a young man who was fiddling with a confusing device raised his head and glanced at the figure before casually greeting him.
"Well. It's still the same. The security of the research institute is much stricter than I remember. "
The sunglasses were taken off, and the red hair faded, and a handsome face appeared in front of others.
He was Nicol Amafi, who had returned to the capital of PLANT, April City, with the help of Law and everyone in the recycling house not long ago.
However, Nicol, who used disguise and other means to hide his identity, went to the research lab where his father, Yuri Amafi, was located. He found that at the intersection 100 meters away from the research institute, there was already a group of Zaft soldiers interrogating vehicles and pedestrians coming and going.
This discovery made Nicol's attempt to sneak into the research lab and face his father, Yuri Amafi, directly fail.
In the following days, many attempts to enter the research institute in different ways still failed.
Nigol could not help but feel depressed.
"Law. What about the professor? "
The teenager who was sitting on the floor fiddling with an unknown device waved his hand casually.
"Professor? They seem to have gone out. They will be back later. You don't have to worry! "
At this moment, Little Hachi, the AI placed next to Law, said a message.
"Nicol, according to the analysis of the news announced by the PLANT Supreme Council during this period, there are some anomalies in the decision of the Supreme Council."
Little Hachi's words made Nicol confused, and when he looked at Little Hachi's master, Law, the latter was also inexplicable.
"Nicol, don't look at me. I only know how to fiddle with these machines. I don't understand Little Hachi's inexplicable speech from time to time. "
Law spread out his greasy hands, showing a helpless expression.
This made Nigol smile bitterly.
During the time he was back in April City, he had seen how strange this ragtag army was compared to the army.
"Oh! Right. Before the professor left, she seemed to have left you a message. "
Law seemed to have suddenly remembered something and pointed to the table not far away.
There, a CD lay quietly on the table.
Nicor, who was confused, picked up the CD and went back to his room. When he was ready to see what was in it, he saw a note under the CD.
"This is?!"
— — —
The weather in April City was still as mild as he remembered.
As Lacus sat in the elevator that descended from the port to the city, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic as she looked at the lush green city below.
Especially after everything she had experienced, people, things, and even the cold and hot climate on Earth, when she faced the unchanging warmth of April City, an indescribable sense of loss lingered in her heart.
"Audrey."
Ray Mingkai's voice came from behind.
Lacus looked back and found that the people around her were talking about the silver mask Ray Mingkai was wearing at the moment.
From those whispers, it was not difficult for Lacus to hear that the people around her seemed to regard Ray Mingkai's wearing of a mask as some kind of idol worship.
And this so-called idol might be the man most valued by the current chairman of the National Defense Force, who would also be the new chairman of the PLANT Supreme Council, Patrick Sala, Lao Lu Kreutzer.
"Everyone thinks you're a fan of Captain Kreutzer!"
Lacus retracted her gaze and looked at Ray Mingkai with a smile.
"Maybe! As long as I wear a mask, this is inevitable. "
Lei Mingkai, on the other hand, was quite open-minded.
After all, Ray Mingkai couldn't use the holographic image necklace to disguise himself like Lacus, so he could only use a mask to cover his face.
Fortunately, with the influence of Patrick Sala sweeping through PLANT, Ray Mingkai quickly gained a good reputation in Zaft and even among the people of PLANT. The masked Ray Mingkai was not treated as a weirdo. Even when passing through the port security check, the surrounding Zaft soldiers gave Ray Mingkai a knowing look of encouragement.
This situation made Ray Mingkai dumbfounded.
After the small teasing between the two, Lacus' expression became a little lonely.
"Kai. Tell me, is it really okay for everyone to stay here? "
The scorching desert, the high and cold snowy mountains, the vast sky, and the cold and mysterious extreme north brought an impact to Lacus that she had yet to fully digest.
After seeing how vast the outside world was, after Lacus returned to April City in PLANT, she suddenly had a feeling that the colonial satellite, which was regarded as the home of the adjusters, might be a cage!
"Now, there's nothing bad about it."
Ray Mingkai knew what Lacus was thinking at the moment, but according to the situation in the outside world, the situation of the adjusters gathering together for warmth was already the trend.
"Is there nothing bad about it?"
Lacus lowered her gaze and shook her head silently.
Perhaps, gathering together for warmth was the only feasible way now.
But what next?
One year.
Two years.
Or even five years.
What about ten years later?
Solidifying one's footsteps and vision in these colonial satellites, using the thoughts of the victims to limit one's identity to gain sympathy from the outside world …
Lacus' gaze couldn't help but dim.
If that was the case, the citizens who fixed themselves in these colonial satellites would probably become the victims of some people.
"Ding dong!"
The orbital elevator reached its destination.
When the cool breeze of April City gently caressed Lacus' hair again, it also pulled her thoughts back to reality.
"Let's go! Audrey. Zhao and the others are still waiting for us. "
Half an hour later, Ray Mingkai and Lacus walked along the main road and arrived in front of a small house.
On the lawn in front of the house, an old man was sitting leisurely on a rattan chair, ignoring Ray Mingkai and Lacus who were standing in front of him.
"This, old man, may I ask if Cong Yunqiao and the others live here?"
When Lei Mingkai saw the old man's posture, some images that were buried deep in his memory quietly came to mind.
As expected.
No matter how Ray Mingkai asked, the old man still didn't respond and continued to sit leisurely on the rattan chair, rocking back and forth.
"Kai. Let me try! "
Lacus volunteered but was stopped by Ray Mingkai.
"No. There's no need. Lacus. That guy Zhao is coming out. "
As soon as Ray Mingkai finished speaking, the door of the house was knocked open from the inside out.
"Bang!"
As the door was slammed open, a figure rolled to the ground.
This scene made Ray Mingkai and Lacus look at each other.
The figure who rolled to the ground was the young man Ray Mingkai and Lacus had only met once, Swain Karl Bayan.
The young man who had almost died at the hands of Ray Mingkai had rolled out of the house and landed on the ground in a sorry state.
"Swain. Before you figure it out, stay outside! "
While they were puzzled, Cong Yunqiao's voice came from the house.
"Cong Yunqiao, what happened?"
Upon hearing Cong Yunqiao's voice, Ray Mingkai asked loudly.
"This voice? Is it Kai? "
"It's me! What happened? "
With Cong Yunqiao here, everything was easy.
Lei Mingkai no longer paid any attention to the almost transparent old man. He walked past Shi Wen, who was struggling to get up, to the door of the small house, and asked Cong Yunqiao, who was walking out of the house.
"It's just a small matter."
Cong Yunqiao said subconsciously, then corrected himself.
"Swain hasn't left this house in the past half a month since he came here."
"He hasn't left this house in half a month?"
Ray Mingkai and Lacus were surprised.
Swain Karl Bayan wasn't the kind of person who could stay at home, right?
"Yes, if not for Old Bart, this guy would have starved to death!"
Cong Yunqiao was exasperated.
However, Swain, who stood up again, patted the dust off his body expressionlessly and stood there without retorting or speaking.
Even Ray Mingkai felt a headache when he saw Swain's stubborn appearance, let alone Cong Yunqiao.
"Yunqiao, let this young man stay here! Let me have something to do. "
At this moment, the old man who hadn't responded to Ray Mingkai's question suddenly spoke.
It seemed like he wanted to plead on Swain's behalf?!
The corners of Cong Yunqiao's eyes twitched a few times, but he still nodded silently and agreed to the old man's request.
"Thank you! I'll let this young man stay in the house. He won't disturb you. "
The old man seemed to have sensed something. After making a solemn promise, he slowly stood up from the rattan chair and walked to Swain's side. He pulled Swain away and turned to walk into the house next door.
After watching the old man and young man leave, Cong Yunqiao slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the famous leader of Giant Serpent's Tail to be like this."
Swain Karl Bayan's fate might have changed at this moment.
"It's just a moment of melancholy! Alright. Kai, Miss Audrey. We've already obtained the information you wanted. Please come in and talk! "
Half an hour later, Ray Mingkai and Lacus, who were sitting on the sofa, were called in by Lolita Yazhe. Their attention was attracted by a document.
The first thing they saw when they opened the document was a photo.
It was a photo that caused Ray Mingkai and Lacus' expressions to change drastically.
In the photo was the gentle pink princess and a young man with bandages on his head. His face was pale, but Ray Mingkai and Lacus were extremely familiar with him.
"This is Kira?!"
In an instant, Ray Mingkai and Lacus recognized the young man's true identity.
However, compared to Lacus' shock, Ray Mingkai's attention was on something else.
"This photo, is it safe?"
Yes.
The pink princess in the photo was undoubtedly an imposter, but the person who took this photo was probably not an ordinary person, right?
Lolita Yazhe glanced at Cong Yunqiao, and after obtaining his approval, she spoke the truth.
"The source of this photo was a servant working in the Klein Faction's official residence. However, when we obtained this photo, we didn't interact with the servant. Instead, we obtained it from a secret base that we had agreed on a few years ago, but wasn't very stable. "
"Servant? What about the servant? "
Lacus hurriedly asked.
Lolita Yazhe shook her head.
"I'm not sure. However, we didn't receive any response from the other party after that. Perhaps … "
"Has she been discovered?"
Seeing Lolita Yazhe's expression, Ray Mingkai could guess what happened to the servant.
If they were not missing, then they had already been murdered.
"How can that be? I don't even know who that servant is. "
Lacus's gaze wavered slightly as she looked at the smiling face in the photo.
That was her face, but she was unknowingly maintaining an intimate relationship with the young man named Kira Yamato, who was also Aslan Sara's good friend.
"We don't know who that servant is. However, what we do know is that the Klein Faction's little princess seems to have betrayed the engagement she had made since she was young. "
"What?!"
Lacus raised her head abruptly and stared straight at Lolita Yazhe.
"Cough … From our observations over the past few days, we found out that ever since the young man in the photo was sent to the Klein Family, the little princess hasn't appeared in public apart from necessary official activities."
Lolita Yazhe's narration caused Lacus's heart to gradually sink to the bottom.
Behind the actions of the imposter who pretended to be her, the leader of the Klein Faction, which was her father, Sigel Klein, had probably been controlled by the other party!
The more Lacus thought about it, the more terrified she felt. She couldn't help but feel her hands and feet turn cold.
Just as the piercing coldness engulfed Lacus's entire body, a wave of warmth quietly covered her hands.
"Don't worry! Everything will be fine. "
Ray Mingkai's voice rang softly in Lacus's ears, calming her gradually panicking heart that was worried about her father's situation.
"Kai. I … "
Ray Mingkai shook his head slightly and said with certainty,
"I will make arrangements."
After saying that, Ray Mingkai looked at Cong Yunqiang.
"Yunqiang, I wonder if you can contact Luo and the rest?"
Cong Yunqiang's gaze shifted from the young man in the photo to Ray Mingkai and nodded with certainty.
"Yes."
