Chapter 35

  The Shock Of The Campus And Heart

  Took over the white towel to wipe off the coffee stains on the shirt, Charlie Tai had a self-mockery smile and shook his head, thought that he hadn’t laughed so happy for many years. He stood up from the sofa, said to steward Ken by his side, “change today’s record, just say that I was studying in the H1 area.”

  Steward Ken lowered his head slightly, immediately understood the intention of the master, paused for a moment and said, “master, since Sheilor has the chip permission to enter the H1 area, I think the relationship between professor Ken and him, absolutely not as simple as what is showed on the file of the Pear Garden university. It’s impossible that professor Ken wouldn’t literally change the central computer program of the H1 area, just for a soldier who he met occasionally in the boot camp… shouldn’t we tell madam this thing?”

  In countless nights, besides steward Ken, no one else knew that the successor of the Tai family was not studying alone in the H1 area every night, but had a companion.

  No one knew that Sheilor also could enter the H1 area, today steward Ken saw the black mecha that outburst blow in the end on the light screen, he had some worry in his heart, so he suggested to Charlie Tai once again.

  Charlie Tai thought a moment, then shook his head. Besides the things like the adult ceremony, in the situation without his permission, steward Ken absolutely wouldn’t mention any details about his life to anyone, even if it’s his mother. About Sheilor this interesting guy, Charlie Tai believed his own judgment, it’s just a very coincident meeting, and didn’t have any what conspiracy hid inside.

  “Don’t think too much, the life is just for decades, always would have something emerge beyond the plan, then it would be a bit interesting.” Charlie Tai said like this, the slightly pale and gaunt face had the long lost smile on. Thought of every bit details since he met with Sheilor, he had already made sure that the other party was a trustworthy guy.

  “Yes, then I will go to handle the records right away.” steward Ken lowered his head slightly. In fact, he also wanted to see his master, the one doomed to couldn’t enjoy the normal life as most of the federal citizens, also could had the relatively luxury things such like friendship and so forth.

  “I think I should be all in sweat at this time, I should take a shower, so… I need to change some clothes.” Charlie Tai threw the white towel on the table, said with a smile, “I think that president Nolan would come to discuss the thing about the dancing party in a moment… or perhaps he still wants to confirm whether the one in the holding the abdomen to run black mecha… is me.”

  In the quiet and deep serene right hand side that room in the H1 area, suddenly had the metal mechanical sounds. The alloy wall on the farthest side of the room just closed, the data wires and the power cords still not connected back to the black mecha, the mecha those two kept blocking in front of the abdomen deformed alloy fists had already pulled open suddenly.

  The face slightly pale Sheilor was like a frightened mouse, showed up in the badly broken operating cabin. He took off that should be called antique simulation operating system with the fastest speed, wiped the sweat off from the forehead, suppressed the hunger, used that magical power in his body again, both legs had the tremble, then jumped down from the meters height black mecha, become a track of dust, rushed to the rear of the main terminal display by the room door.

  He folded well the simulation system and that little tool with difficulty, and tucked them into the backpack, Sheilor carried the backpack, and still didn’t forget to input the comprehensive clean instruction on the terminal. Along with the input instruction, the automatic clean equipments “bee bee” sounding came out from all around of the H1 area. On the ceiling, countless dust removal and spray equipments stretched out, began to clean up the whole room, especially the platform where the black mecha was on was cleaned repeatedly. Presumably not long later, all the fingerprints which Sheilor left in the mecha operating cabin and the room would be erased.

  Wiped off the sweat on the forehead once again, Sheilor silently and steadily carried the backpack, walked out of the room, came to the closed tightly alloy door. The chip scanning and the command input were over, he stood on the corridor between the two doors, from the gap of the most outside door… carefully confirmed that the outside of the H1 area still didn’t have the eager students, then dodged to come out of the H1 area.

  Covered his face tightly with the cap, Sheilor lowered his head, walked quickly through the library zone H. had to say that his luck is quite good, it’s already 10:30 AM at this time, normally a lot of high quality students of the Pear Garden university had already begun to study hard in the library zone H, they would certainly notice that a student came out from the never nobody in and out odd H1 area.

  But today the First Military Academy came to visit, most of the people all stayed in the comprehensive gymnasium to watch that thrilling mecha fight. And tonight would be the dancing party of the Bi-moons Festival, no matter what kind of bookish student, all would try hard to tidy up himself, hoped that tonight they could dance with his beloved girl, in the witness of that pair of moons, to harvest a sweet love.

  Trotted out of the library zone H, walked through that quiet woods, made sure nobody found out that he came out from the H1 area, Sheilor finally relaxed down, breathed out a long stuffy, slowed down the walking speed. At this time he had his hands in the pockets on the pants, the backpack on his back, just looked like a very normal student. Until he walked out for a long time, then he met several excitedly discussing something students, but also nobody paid attention to him.

  Walked along the grass by the Rose riverside, the shy floated down the small snowflakes, fell down on the withered and yellow grass. Sheilor took off the cap, rubbed on his that slightly wet black hair, somewhat anxiously took out the cell to take a look, then he found out that it’s already 11:00 AM at this time. He couldn’t help to have the self-mockery smile on the corners of his mouth, he had already slept hours in the mecha incredibly. When the two mechas had the fight training just now, he still thought that it’s just the four or five o’clock in the early morning.

  Thought of earlier that scene, especially later the roof of the fight training room was opened, that moment of countless cheers and applauses and countless eyes cast over, Sheilor’s couldn’t help to beat up quickly. At this time he had already judged, it’s not a simple place, and he had the fight with the mecha office students of the First Military Academy by mistake, and fell in the eyes of many people, he couldn’t help to feel the shock and fear.

  Escaped from the East Forest Region for a year, Sheilor sometimes would forget his fugitive identity subconsciously, and then seemed not careful enough, but… today he would manipulated the mecha in front of so many people incredibly, and even used the antique simulation system at the last moment, used that share of magical power in his body… although that magical power, wouldn’t be no longer shown out with the typical tremble way. But Sheilor still worried very much, whether the last blow of the black mecha would alarm some aspects of the federation?

  The slightly regret emerged in his heart, he stepped on the frozen stiff and crisp by the snow grains grass, walked to the backdoor’s iron gate of the Pear Garden university. Perhaps the die without a sickness of the young man’s first love, perhaps the encounters in these days, let him always hide the anger fire in the heart, then he would be confused to this stage, made this kind of mistake.

  Kacha, kacha… along with the steps walking forward, the regret in his heart was also getting lighter and lighter. Since it had become the established fact, it didn’t have any benefit to regret for it, Sheilor always was a come straight to the point people. He had a pat on the cheek with the hand, blew out a white fog, lowered his head and kept walking forward. He thought in his mind, if somebody really came to check on the black mecha, at most he would change his identity again, left the Pear Garden university, and went to another place to have another kind
of life.

  But… just somewhat seemed to be loathe to leave, somewhat hated to part with the Pear Garden university this like snow pear flower. The like snow flower white, like snow flower pure and nice, but sometimes cold like snow… that girl. And shielding this rogue officer friend, and that having night snacks every night weak rich childe.

  Sheilor that hurried footsteps slowed down, that like two knives eyebrows were getting supple gradually, finally he stood by the side of the Rose river, found out that at this time, he had already had the different state of mind from that one when he just escaped from the East Forest, he had the worry. Love and friendship this kind of things… was the burden, but he liked this kind of burden very much.

  Looked at the thin ice and the light fog on the river, Sheilor narrowed his eyes slightly, just as if he was smiling. He had already made up his mind, he wouldn’t be hurry to leave, but instead, he would want to see whether today this scene would cause any problems, if there nobody could check out the people in the black mecha was him, then why would he have to leave?

  Just at this time, the light violin melody sounded up. Sheilor was in a daze slightly, took out the cell phone from the pocket and put it by the ear, then he hear Shielding that lazy but particularly charming voice, “where are you? I didn’t see you in the comprehensive gymnasium, I am at the gatehouse now, but also couldn’t find you.”

  “I am reading the books by the river.” Sheilor’s voice was hoarse because of nervousness.

  “Read what fucking book… I ordered two sets of suits for tonight’s dancing party, you hurry up to come over here, I will go to pick them up with you.”

  Sheilor laughed, knew the other party was worry about him, he this dull guy didn’t know the rules of the party, couldn’t help to feel a little warm in the heart, “thank you.” he said.

  “Thank a fart, you this guy had the heritage, the cost is on you.”

  Sheilor was helpless, wanted to say that he had already had the suit, but then he thought of that the clothes were bought by Charming, couldn’t help to feel sour in the heart, and he also really not particularly dared to stay in the campus at this time, “I am coming right away.” he said.

  “No, I have something urgent at this time.” on the other side of the phone, Shielding’s voice suddenly became calm, “you go there first, I will go to look for you later.”

  Sheilor put the cell phone back to the pocket, put the cap even lower, covered his that slightly frown up eyebrows. He heard the sudden change in Shielding’s voice, always felt that the other party had something on his mind, but he didn’t know what was happening, Shielding was always a mysterious person, perhaps it’s because of his profession?

  Sheilor felt a bit worry and walked to the iron gate of the Pear Garden university, all the way, he saw a lot of students just coming out from the comprehensive gymnasium. These students were not only the students of the Pear Garden university, but also a lot of students wearing university town other schools’ uniforms. The same thing was, these students all had the residual excited expression, the eyes all were shining with the proud and excited light. The discussing voices even could be heard without end, sounded up in the early winter woods trails and the teaching buildings.

  These students were talking about the previous two mecha fight drills, especially the last the black mecha and the silver mecha that fight. The Pear Garden university had a mysterious student pilot, manipulated the prototype mecha, incredibly could fight draw with the ace student of the First Military Academy, beyond all questions, this let all the university town students feel the pride and glory.

  They talked about it excitedly, even some students couldn’t help to swing the bodies, began to imitate the black mecha that last swift and fierce kick. Although they all knew, the control level of the silver mecha seemed to be a bit higher, the last broke abdomen blow, was also extremely strong. But their attentions, were still staying on that black mecha.

  The wearing hat Sheilor, walked quickly by these students, although he didn’t intend to hear about it, but those black mecha and so on words and phrases, still kept pouring into his ears.

  The more he heard, the more he felt complicated. Knew the last one fought with him the silver mecha was really the ace student of the First Military Academy, he also couldn’t help to feel somewhat happy. But when he saw those students laughed on the one side, imitated the black mecha holding the abdomen to run on the other side, inevitably felt somewhat embarrassed.

  He just wanted to cover his face to run away in a hurry, how would he care about the so-called demeanor and image problem of the pilot.

  Went back to the belonged to him the bedroom of the gatehouse, Sheilor finally relaxed down completely, he drank a bowl of cold water, supplemented the previous lost moisture, relieved the terrible hunger in the belly a bit. Carried the backpack into the bathroom, he carefully took down that mirror, the ceramic tile behind the mirror basically had been emptied by him, it’s enough to put in a backpack.

  Hidden the backpack well, Sheilor thought for a moment slightly, and then pried up a ceramic tile below, took out that called “knife” by him the electric shock stick, put it on the body. He didn’t know what would happen in the next few days, it’s better to be a bit careful. Last time he met Hook those people outside of the club, if he had the electric shock stick by his side at that time, he also wouldn’t be at the end of his wits under the cold gun, had to take the risk to fight with empty hand.

  Before he left the room, he turned on the light screen on the wall subconsciously, on the campus network kept flashing and rolling the post titles, appeared on the screen, mapped into his eyes, let his expression become extremely rich, his body also was shocked in situ.

  “Black mecha… where at you? We are calling you!”

  “The comprehensive gymnasium live post, the big reversal of the black mecha!”

  “Why the mecha is so black? It’s the same reason as the dark horse.”

  “Behind holding the abdomen to run, what the legend of the Pear Garden university really want to hide?”

  “The proud First Military Academy walked away dejectedly, why the potential genius is always among the people?”

  These were the on top several posts, and beneath the kept rolling posts list, also basically was occupied by today that scene happened in the comprehensive gymnasium. In the information extremely developed Capital Planet Circle, the campus network kept broadcasting live the mecha fight in the comprehensive gymnasium, didn’t know that it had attracted the attentions of how many people. Especially that black mecha disappeared strangely in the end, countless besides the applause and cheers, began to guess the true identity of the black mecha, countless launched the finding black mecha activities.

  How long it just passed, actually it had already cause such a sensation? Sheilor was inconceivable, stunned to look at those texts on the screen. At earlier that moment when the roof was opened, he had already known that the mecha fight situation, had already fallen into the eyes of countless people, he also saw those discussing excitedly on the road earlier. But he really didn’t think of, just a mecha fight drill, could let the students of the whole university town to be excited like this.

  Sheilor looked at the screen, somewhat inexplicably scratched his head, the eyes narrowed up habitually, raised his hand, pointed open one of the HD video link post, the picture on the light screen in the very short time, shifted to the federal largest video website Tomato…

  Looked at that clumsy black mecha moved on the picture, looked at that moving matchlessly rapid silver mecha, Sheilor opened his eyes wide gradually, watched without a break. Once he thought of that earlier countless people were just like himself, stared at comprehensive gymnasium that extremely huge light screen, and he was in the light screen but didn’t know, then he felt somewhat weird.

  On the picture, the black mecha fell down, stood up, and then six seconds flashed past, the black mecha in the impossible situation, split out that kick!


  In the march modes conversion, in that very short time, the lower part armor of the mecha would have the problem. Sheilor looked at every picture, the mood was getting calm and peace gradually. He studied harder than anyone, all the M series structure drawings he could find in the Pear Garden university, he all remembered in his brain, those firmly remembered data and the technology, which uncle taught him by unconsciously influenced in the East Forest Region, mixed together, let him have a kind of intuitionist judgment to the mecha, so he could catch accurately the fleeting opportunity…

  This really could be attributed to the intuition, it’s nothing to do with that magical power and the information transmission channel in his body. Only this kind of intuition could be attributed to the mass information acquisition and the practice all the year round, then he could have the natural feeling with the mechanical components.

  Knew where the only possible loophole of the silver mecha was, but also should have the ability to catch this loophole, Sheilor’s control level was still far not the opponent of the ace students of the First Military Academy, but he had the ability which the other party absolutely couldn’t have, that was the tremble in his body.

  The had been eliminated by the federation for many years antique control system, combined with the strong independent control ability in his body, could let the mecha make the move usually absolutely couldn’t make!

  Thirty degree angle, only the thirty degree angle, Sheilor looked at the picture quietly, a flicker of happy smile floated on the corners of his mouth. Thought of on the Antique Bell, that fat captain split at him that leg… the black mecha that kick on the picture, looked like that it had already had a bit of verve of captain Tim that swift and fierce leg.

  Sheilor took a deep breath, a share of unclear emotion began to overflow in his chest, perhaps it’s called confidence, perhaps it’s called joy or something else. After all he was just a young man, every victory and progress in the life, all would let hem happy, even if today’s happy was extremely risky and confused.

  He faintly understood the true usage of that power in his body, also understood how uncle could calmly face the whole squad of the federal special mechas at that time.

  In this world, only uncle and him could understand, the human body itself was the first sequence machine, the mecha was only the extension of this machine. Also only uncle and him could use that share of powerful strength in the body, through the means which had already been eliminated by the federation, or like uncle that fantastic way… to control the mecha directly with the human body!
