Star Alliance calendar year 612, early morning of June 11th
sunny
Right in front of the door of Linton's house, a young man and an old man, whose appearance could not tell the family connection, were asking questions.
"Have you brought a terminal?"
"Bring it."
"Where's the phone? Where's the key?"
"On the body."
"Have you stuffed your winter clothes into your suitcase? The temperature is very low over there, it's almost the junction of autumn and winter."
"I brought it with me too! Besides, I, a vampire with constant low temperature, shouldn't be afraid of the cold!"
"Vampires can also become old popsicles. Don't underestimate the low temperature." Omo looked down at the palm in his hand and was scratching out the necessary items on it with charcoal. He raised his head and looked at the pair of clothes in front of him again. Morrison, who was quite impatient, said, "Weapon box - ah, this is the only thing I don't need to remember."
A thug must have a lot to do, not to mention that this guy loves weapons as much as his life. The problem with the moonlight economy in the past was due to the collection of weapons.
Omo glanced at the other person's suitcase, crossed out the last line on the paper, then folded the paper diagonally, repeated several times, making it neat enough to make the obsessive-compulsive disorder comfortable, then stuffed it into his pocket, and finally said The words Morrison had been waiting for came out:
"Okay! The inspection is over, you can go."
Bang! Morrison immediately slammed the door and prepared to leave.
"You should lock the door!" Omer reluctantly knocked on the key of the card swipe in front of the door and said softly "Lock the door."
I saw the indicator light next to the card swiping port change from green to red, and at the same time there was a slight machine sound.
Today is the first day after the college entrance examination, and it is also the day they go to Tianmen City.
A business trip or a trip. After taking stock of the preparations that need to be done, it’s time to set off.
As for the abnormality in age and seniority between the party being counted and the party being counted... without outsiders, no one would complain.
The two people who are overly accustomed to this mode of getting along can even complain about the neighbor's door passing by in an extremely natural way.
"Except for the first day here, does this neighbor keep the door closed every morning?"
"It's not surprising that a vampire doesn't want to go out during the day. Although his identity as a vampire is complicated, there is nothing to say about his purity."
"It seems I have to find some time at night to apologize."
"Apologize?"
"I'm sorry that my useless uncle has caused you so much trouble."
"At least call me your adoptive father, you brat!"
So you don’t deny that it causes trouble, right...
Omo, who was dragging his suitcase, sighed in his heart.

[Rainfall warning for North District of Jiemen District]
[It has been detected that you are on the Menxing Avenue section. There will be light to moderate rain within an hour from your current location. Please prepare an umbrella or take shelter in advance]
The primary chip in his brain that can bypass a little bit of the terminal's functions conveyed these words. Omo, who was looking down at the terminal screen, turned his head after hearing the words and looked at the gloomy sky outside the car window.
It did look like it was going to rain, but he had prepared two umbrellas early and put them in their respective bags. So what caught his eye more was the outline of the towering door.
Viewed from the examination room window in the XC area, there was naturally a huge gap between the perception of the huge building on the North District road at the moment. He could now more clearly see the majesty of the metal gate, as well as the people on it all the time. Moving metal edges.
Those edges and corners sometimes merge with the surroundings, and sometimes flip in the arc of electromagnetic force. Only when the power reaches the critical point - when people can see the official start of a blue light rising into the sky - will they appear stable. The solid door posture is really amazing.
It is something that already has mechanical beauty, not to mention that it is also imprinted with the energy-shaping patterns of source energy science, which adds to its magnificence and profundity.
Almost all large-scale stargates produced today are the product of cooperation between mechanical engineering and energy engineering, in order to seek more stable operation and cheaper costs for mass production. Whether it is movement within the planet or travel between stars, the Time is shortened, and the connections between people and planets are constantly drawn closer.
But even so, the places that Omo is most familiar with are the city of Jiemen District and the 4,000-square-meter welfare home in the Demon World District.
The distance from the latter to the former was the first time in his life that he traveled far and set foot on a strange land that he had never touched before.
There will be fear, but also curiosity, excitement and joy.
But for a long time after that, he was so familiar with the new activity area that he had no time to think about other things.
Until today.
He had free time and was able to take his first step.
Unlike when he was taken away by Morrison along with the crowd, this time it was his own choice.
In this situation, he actually had something in common with David.
But the biggest difference between the two is that Omer had the intention to choose from the beginning.
It is precisely for this reason that one day after formal communication and contact with David, Omer used his aggressive attitude to ask David to make a decision.
Perhaps David in the past lacked room for choice due to his environment, but at least in this world, he has many options.
And Omo is planning to travel during the college entrance examination holiday.
Considering that it would be difficult to meet again in the short term, and because persuasion is always most effective in person, he chose a risky path.
As for how to admonish, he had already been thinking about it when he accepted David's declaration of friendship. He even took the time to pay attention to the dynamics of the mercenary circle that night to understand the situation of Ji Liting in the Bianhuang Galaxy.
He thought about it then.
With extremely strong action ability, he made basic plans and based on the personality model he obtained through hours of contact and observation. If the success rate is more than half, it is necessary to try.
It is true that the two people have known each other for too short a time, so suddenly mentioning future plans would seem hasty.
But guided by words, it is like accidentally breaking into the topic of 'mercenaries' and then introducing the current situation of mercenaries in this world and talking about the future. This route is soft and natural enough, and the process is like a picture. The quality of this 'picture' is pretty good. good.
Of course, the most important thing is that he succeeded.
Although it was just a temporary idea, it did allow the friend who was in a familiar situation to take that step.
For David, it was a question of life that had confused him for several days.
For Omer, this was also the result of him seeing David's crux type and intervening with extraordinary action.
He didn't even need to ask about the other person's past in detail, because he didn't plan for David's future, he just wanted David to have the idea of 'choice'.
This is enough. David can slowly think about what to choose, just like Bize who also lacks goals.
Omer looks forward to the term 'future' and also believes in the concept of 'possibility'.
He also hopes that everyone around him can have both of them, and he doesn't mind putting them in their hands when they don't notice.
Given David's still confused state, it is even more likely that he did not notice Omer's guidance. Perhaps it would take a few days later, when he suddenly thought back to that time, that the young man would notice something strange, or maybe...he The rough-and-tumble elder brother around him, the girlfriend Lucy who was only mentioned in his words, and even the weird Rebecca in his mouth... They can detect David based on their respective understandings of him. Notice the strangeness mixed with the change.
But that doesn't matter. If they all really care about David, they won't interfere with him. At most, they may feel a little unhappy with themselves.
After all, they didn't intend to really interfere, but Omer came over and kicked him.
Too rough and too self-centered.
Whether there will be a warning, a threat, or something else... I'll talk about what to do later. Anyway, I was picking up interstellar long distances in Tianmen City at that time.
Phone calls are quite expensive, so it’s best to keep the story short.
While on the run, I felt confident in whatever I thought of.
However, since we are all on the way to prepare for the trip, we shouldn’t think too much. Omo didn’t even rush to confirm his intention to fill out the application——
——Those are usually confirmed in the evening of the day when the college entrance examination ends, because the results also come out at that time.
But for confident people, not only is there no need to rush, there is no need to confirm.
Once you confirm that you have reached the score line, your registration will be stable, and you don’t even need to go to see it. The staff of the registered school will send an email to notify you of your admission the next day.
But it's not yet...
Omo glanced at his email inbox, which had no new messages, and then glanced at the dynamics of several large chat groups, then raised his eyes again to look out the window at the nearby Tianmen Airport.
"It's time to get off, Morrison."
He turned around to say hello and took off the blindfold the other party was wearing.
"Huh?!" Morrison was shocked at first when his blindfold was suddenly taken off, but he relaxed a little after seeing his adopted son, "Oh."
"Go and sleep on the airship." Omer, who was on the side of the street, opened the car door first. "Are you going to work?"
Omer was convinced that Morrison had not stayed up late yesterday except for being exhausted from work, and taking the time to rest now was obviously to recuperate for the future.
"Yeah, and it seems to be quite a big fuss. It's an official matter, and I even signed a confidentiality agreement."
At this point, Morrison stopped, but since it was all about the officialdom, Omer, who knew something about his scope of work and the official departments he often worked with in his job, naturally understood.
He was talking about the Security Bureau, and it was the Two-Border Security Bureau.
"It sounds like there is no chance that I can understand." Omer, who was paying the driver, smiled helplessly.
"I told you it's a secret."
As an adoptive father who has watched the other person grow up, he understands that his adopted son's interest in time-travelers is not limited to glamor.
Otherwise, the execution department of the Two Worlds Security Bureau would not be targeted.
However, public and private matters must be distinguished, especially when signing an agreement, and there must be a spirit of contract.
So he just raised his hand and wanted to rub the other person's fluffy hair, but was avoided again.
He didn't care. After all, failure was considered a habit. He just changed the topic without embarrassment to a topic that could end the conversation:
"Go enjoy the trip you're looking forward to. Send me the admission email when it arrives. I'll have time to take a look."
"Show it off to others, right? Show off like a good father."
"I feel like I at least taught you something."
Such as grappling, sword use, and some small spell-casting skills...
"It just has nothing to do with grades." Omer stated this fact in a calm tone.
"It still has something to do with the physical test."
Although the people walking around were just passers-by and didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the father and son, Morrison still felt a little embarrassed.
"But the physical test is not included in the total score, but the focus is reflected after applying for a major after admission."
"Ah?" Morrison was stunned, and seemed to really care about this topic, "Is this the case now?"
"At least that's the case in Jiemen District."
"Ah...fortunately I don't have to be a student anymore."
"..."
As if he understood something, Omer looked at his adoptive father with a bit of contempt.
