Night, Aube Island, Ashar's mansion.
Xiao Ran stood outside the door of the reception room in his Aube military uniform. The mask on his face hid his somewhat excited expression. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, indicating that he was in a good mood at this time. Mary, Mu, and Bakirulu had been in the reception room for about half an hour, and he had been standing outside the door for about the same time.
When the door of the reception room was opened and Erica Simmonds nodded to him, Xiao Ran sorted out his emotions and walked in slowly. When he saw Mu, who turned around and looked at him with confusion, Mary's back with her hands on the table and Bakirulu's tall and straight figure, Xiao Ran, who was ready, almost couldn't control his emotions and called out their names.
Ashar nodded to Xiao Ran who walked in, stood up, and said to Mary and the other two, "I've been clear about your matters and requests, and thank you for taking care of Kajali along the way. I'll leave the details to him."
Mary and the other two quickly stood up, "Thank you for your help, Ashar representative."
After Erica nodded to Xiao Ran, she followed Ashar representative out of the reception room. Xiao Ran slowly walked to the three and sat down, looking straight at them without saying a word.
Mary and the other two sat down again. Looking at the masked man in front of them, a familiar feeling welled up in their hearts. Mary quietly looked at the person in front of her, only to feel her heart beating a little faster uncontrollably, and a few tears slowly appeared in her eyes.
Mu's eyes turned and he scratched his head, feeling a little strange, "Is it popular to wear masks now? Zaft has one, but I didn't expect Aube to have one too."
Xiao Ran smiled silently, reached out and slowly took off the mask. When he looked up again, the three people who saw him exclaimed in unison. Mary covered her mouth, tears falling down uncontrollably. Bakirulu's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and there was a touch of joy in her eyes. Mu opened his mouth wide, pointed at Xiao Ran, and said in shock, "Why is it you! Why are you in Aube, and dressed like this? "
"Can't it be me?" Xiao Ran shrugged and smiled, looked at Mary gently, and said softly, "Aren't you happy to see me? Why are you crying?"
Bakirulu stood up at once, pointed at Xiao Ran and scolded, "Bastard, I knew you're not an ordinary person! I didn't expect you to be the one sent to Great Angel! "
"Please, I'm a citizen of Aube." Xiao Ran looked at Bakirulu speechlessly, gave Mary a comforting look, and explained to Bakirulu, "I joined the Aube Defense Force recently. There was an explosion in the cockpit during the battle, and nearly a hundred fragments pierced my body. Law and the others couldn't treat me at all, so they sent me to Aube. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't see me today."
Bakirulu was stunned for a moment, and her tone unconsciously lowered a little, "Bastard, I won't believe what you said."
"Then why are you wearing these clothes?" Mu asked, puzzled.
Xiao Ran said, "After leaving Great Angel, I have nothing on me. I can't even prove my identity. How can the Earth Army recognize me when I'm alone? Besides, it's not like you don't know my views on the Earth Army. Aube promised to help me repair and transform the Dark Heresy, and the representative of Aube also offered me an invitation. Indeed, there is something I can help in this country, so I simply joined the Aube Defense Force. "
Xiao Ran glanced at the three of them and said, "This is a backup plan that I have prepared for myself. It is also a backup plan that I have prepared for you."
"You!" Bakirulu wanted to speak, but Xiao Ran waved his hand and interrupted her, and said in a heavy tone, "You may not believe what I said on Great Angel, but the facts that happened before have always proved that I was right. As long as Great Angel goes to Alaska, you will be faced with isolation. Kira, as the adjuster, is the best excuse to attack Gundam. After that, you will be investigated and questioned. Without the support of the Eighth Fleet, and with even Admiral Harbarton captured, I don't think I need to say more about what kind of treatment Great Angel will receive."
"Great Angel faced so many enemies' encirclement and suppression along the way, yet it can still safely arrive in Alaska. This can only be explained by good luck? Even if they know that this result can only be achieved because of Kira's protection, they will still think that Great Angel has some other connection with Zaft because of Harbarton. "
"And when you enter Aube today, the Earth Army may still think that you are colluding with Aube. Of course, as long as they want to beat you up, they can find any reason."
"Even if they can't find out anything, in the end, the Archangel will be broken up. Bucky Lulu will definitely be transferred to serve as the captain of other Archangel class battleships, and Mu will definitely be transferred away from the Archangel. As for Marlow, the rest of you have already completed your mission. I think the higher-ups of the Earth Army will definitely put you in a very conspicuous place, and conspicuous often means dangerous."
"As a soldier, you may not feel terrible about dying in battle, but what if you are betrayed and abandoned?" Xiao Ran glanced at the three of them and shook his head slightly. "When that time comes, you must also have a backup plan. Of course, in my opinion, it's best that the Archangel's journey ends here. Don't continue to go to Alaska."
Bakirulu shouted angrily. "You just want us to defect and join Aube like you."
"Whatever you say, I'm doing this for myself, and for you." Xiao Ran waved his hand as if nothing had happened. He looked at Mary and said. "Mary, Aube will agree to help you repair and replenish Great Angel, but there is a request."
Mary took a deep look at Xiao Ran and said softly, "Say it."
"We hope that Kira will help Obu develop an OS that's suitable for natural people, as well as the combat data of the Assault Gundam, and conceal this. My record on the Archangel can also be maintained as MIA or dead in battle."
"No problem." Mary's slightly red eyes looked at Xiao Ran deeply and sighed slightly. "Anyway, the combat data of the Assault Gundam has already been leaked. I don't think Aube will let us leave so easily if we don't pay something."
Mu shrugged helplessly. Bakirulu turned her head to the side angrily, not looking at Xiao Ran at all.
Xiao Ran sighed and said, "I don't have any objections if you want to leave after the Archangel is repaired. I received news that the Earth Army has started building the second Archangel class battleship, called the Main Angel. The MS has also started mass production and has produced a few Gundams. If the Main Angel is not abandoned, I think there will be reinforcements after you leave Aubrey."
"And if, as I said, why has the Archangel never had any contact with Alaska? The Archangel is no longer of any use to the Earth Army. Maybe you think I'm talking nonsense, but I hope you can remember what I said. If Mu and Bucky Lulu are really transferred from the Archangel, then please think about it again. Do you want to stay on the Archangel or leave? Or do you want to come to Auburn after being abandoned and betrayed?"
"We will." Mary nodded and stood up. "If there is nothing else, we will take our leave."
As Mary stood up, Mu and Bakirulu also stood up.
"Someone will pick up Kira at five o 'clock tomorrow. Tell him to be prepared." Xiao Ran stood up, put on his mask again, and sent the three out of Ashar's mansion. It was not until Xiao Ran got into the car that he grabbed Mary's hand from behind. The moment the two hands touched, Xiao Ran also felt the unnatural tremor in Mary's hand.
Slowly moving his head closer, Xiao Ran said softly, "Mary … I will pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay."
After watching the convoy leave, Xiao Ran turned and walked into Ashar's mansion. After reporting to Ashar and Erica, who had been waiting for him, that Great Angel had agreed to provide technical support to the Dawn Society, he left Ashar's mansion with Erica and went to the Dawn Society.
