There was no surprise. Although Charlotte tried her best, she was eventually invited out of the villa area by Irving.
Cut off your hair and become a man, and let the other party nod in agreement? She wanted to, but the other party didn't give her this chance at all.
Night has fallen long ago, and the land is quiet.
Charlotte looked at the time on the computer. It was very late and the shuttle bus had already stopped running.
Without delay, Charlotte walked. She needed to walk all the way back to the mecha branch.
It was a long way away, but she had no choice.
I raised my head and looked at the starry sky. Everything was silent, quiet and beautiful.
The only starlight left to accompany me was a different experience.
In this strange interstellar era, she felt lonely again.
It is really difficult to move forward alone here, but now she has the belief to support her efforts. No matter how difficult it is, Charlotte will grit her teeth and persevere.
The earth is her only obsession in this life.
Her hometown, that beautiful blue planet, even if she wanders alone in a foreign land, because of its existence, she will not be a rootless duckweed.
Owen looked at the retreating figure, a little hesitant to give him a lift. After all, in this wilderness, even if the little girl is very powerful, the journey back is quite long.
However, although the senior colonel was silent just now, Owen has followed the senior colonel for many years and can naturally guess two or three points about his emotions.
The senior colonel was unhappy.
Whether it was because of Gene Anderson's trespassing, Charlotte's sudden self-recommendation, or the two of them offended the colonel in some way during their conversation with him.
In short, the colonel was unhappy just now.
It's just that the senior colonel has always been introverted, and people who are not familiar with him will not be able to sense any of his mood swings.
Therefore, at this juncture, Owen was not sure what his parents were thinking, so he did not dare to make any decision and send the little girl back.
In the end, I could only watch the little girl's back disappear at the end of the road.
the next day
Charlotte still got up early. She went back to the dormitory very late yesterday, and now she got up so early again. She barely slept.
"Alpha, adjust the surveillance in public places to see if there are any signs of leaving Gvos." Charlotte said while getting dressed.
She has not forgotten what Owen said last night. According to his intention, this investigation is nearing completion.
This also means that not only the 12th Military Intelligence Division, but also both sides of the double trial will reorganize and leave Gvos.
This is unreasonable. No matter how you think about it, this incident will not be investigated so quickly. The only reasonable explanation is probably that someone from above wants to suppress this matter.
What for? Are you afraid of public opinion fermenting? Or is there another hidden story behind the accident?
Charlotte knew too little information to accurately guess the whole story.
For this reason, she is even more eager to enter the ministry. Only by entering the military headquarters can she master more important but secret information.
Alpha's voice soon sounded: "Director Anderson from the 12th Military Intelligence Bureau went to the aircraft carrier base in Gevos early this morning in an aggressive manner. He seemed to be in a very bad mood, and Alpha could feel it through the screen. .”
Xia Luo's suspicion was confirmed. It seemed that this double-trial investigation had really ended early for some reasons.
Now, since the people from Branch 12 have left, Ares Randall's place should be there soon.
My mood, which was already poor due to lack of sleep, became even heavier now.
There really wasn't much time left for her. She had at least one day to use.
It was really not going well, and she wasn't even given a chance to work hard.
Charlotte temporarily adjusted her strategy: "Alfa, please pay attention to the monitoring of the good academy. Once you can predict Ares Randall's travel destination, tell me immediately."
Alpha's electronic voice sounded again: "Okay, Master, Alpha will pay close attention."
As for the other end, inside the Yiyuan Villa area
Irving was reporting the latest situation to his parents: "Big school, the people from Division 12 have left this morning. So far, they have not touched the teachers and students in the college."
People in the academy cannot be touched at will. This is the position that Aris Randall has made clear from the beginning.
Owen continued to ask: "Colonel, are we ready to leave now?"
He needs to ask clearly about his next itinerary so that he can make arrangements in advance.
Ares' cold voice sounded: "I'll leave in the afternoon, and I'll visit the teacher in the morning."
The person who can be called "teacher" by Ares is naturally Taishan Beidou of the Mecha Branch—Professor Bilbo Adolphus.
Ares had been busy investigating the incident and dealing with Gene Anderson, and did not pay a proper visit to his former mentor, which meant making a video call on the optical brain.
Now that things have come to an end, he must pay a visit before leaving.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Owen quickly turned around and left.
He had a lot to arrange, not only to pack up and prepare to leave, but also to lay out many hidden clues for the investigation of the incident.
To retreat in order to advance, this is the strategy of the university.
On the surface, they were gone, but privately, they had secret arrangements.
The follow-up investigation of the incident needs to be conducted in a more secretive manner, so that the black hands lurking in the dark can relax their vigilance.
Once you let down your guard, you will be less cautious next time. In this way, they can follow the clues and find out the person behind the scenes with lightning speed, which can be said to be a hit.
However, this is true in theory, but the arrangement of the hidden line is not that simple. Irving was in a hurry because time was really tight.
Not only do they have to lay out the wiring in Gevos, but they will also secretly investigate the hometowns of those suspicious objects.
A two-pronged approach can ensure safety.
Owen was doing just that during the time when Ares Randall was visiting Professor Bilbo Adolphus.
After not seeing him for a long time, the old professor was naturally happy when he saw his proud disciple.
Although Ares is a very polite child and will always send blessings through video communication during holidays, but after all, it is not as cordial and warm as meeting in real life, right?
Since taking Ares, the old professor has never taught other students. At most, he gave a few professional classes to the children in the branch.
There was no one who personally took him by his side to give guidance.
On the one hand, this is because Professor Adolf is getting older and gradually feels unable to do what he does. On the other hand, there was no great idea that caught his eye.
The master and the apprentice had a great conversation, and they chatted for a long time without realizing it.
Ares has always been a person with a strong sense of time. He estimated the meeting to take one morning.
However, because his teacher was in the middle of what he was talking about, Ares did not interrupt and listened patiently.
Later, the old professor realized that it was getting late, so he ended the meeting.
