"Plan?" Although Minnie couldn't even ask too much, she was so curious.
Lin Yan answered with a smile: "Yes, the plan, you are now a member of the plan."
Such an answer was obviously perfunctory and cover-up, and Minnie felt very uncomfortable, but she did not continue to ask because it was too uninteresting.
However, what made Minnie even more unexpected was that Lin Yan only gave it a small pass, and then said to Minnie: "You are my chosen successor. In the near future, you will compete with many human beings who have achieved greater cognition." Returning home together."
Homecoming?
Minnie was a little confused, but she was very smart and figured it out quickly.
"Homecoming? Do you mean returning to Earth?"
Lin Yan nodded seriously: "Yes, it means returning to Earth."
Oh my god!
Minnie's heart trembled. She never thought that all her guesses were too narrow, and that the arbiter she originally knew was actually plotting such a plan.
Can……
"Aren't you worried that I will leak the plan? And... I don't think I am a suitable candidate... I can't even be considered a qualified soldier." Minnie weighed herself and felt a bit like a dream. .
But Lin Yan said very seriously: "Our choice is based on careful consideration, and when you enter the heart of Arno, you have become one with it. If you leave it or lose it, you will die, so ...Now I am not telling you a secret, but telling you what you are facing and what you will experience in the future."
When Lin Yan became serious, her silence was broken, and her tone and expression gave people invisible oppression.
Minnie's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered Li Boan's words.
"The heart of Arno, the seat of humanity's highest military-mediated arbitration tribunal, will be your prison for the rest of your life and your eternal destination."
…
"I...I have no choice anymore?" Minnie frowned, her face looking a little confused.
Lin Yan replied calmly: "Yes, all I can give you is an apology, but what you will have in the future does not even include death. Your will has been locked here."
"Ha..." Although Minnie was sitting on a soft cushion, she felt uncomfortable all over. A few minutes ago, she thought she was just a lucky person, but now she saw that things were too complicated and cruel.
"Are you scared?" Lin Yan asked.
Minnie shook her head: "What's the use of being afraid...but there is still a little regret."
"Then, let me take you somewhere. I believe you will feel much more comfortable when you get there."
"where?"
"Interstellar Terminal."
…
A few seconds ago, Minnie was sitting in the snack shop sipping tea. A few seconds later, she and Lin Yan appeared in a completely pure white space.
The room was large, but it was not out of sight. Although there was no object in the blank space, Minnie could feel the ground and air.
"Where is this?" Minnie was completely confused, and she followed Lin Yan's footsteps closely.
Lin Yan walked without saying a word, and walked slowly and slowly.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived at the edge of this white space. Then Lin Yan raised her hand, and like wiping away the fog on the glass, the world in front of her suddenly became clear.
But most of the world that Minnie saw was still dark, with only a dazzling aqua blue planet immersed in the darkness.
"This is... Gaia?" Minnie couldn't help but ask in wonder.
Lin Yan shook her head: "No, this is the earth, the origin of our humanity."
Earth?
Minnie looked at the sapphire-like planet and murmured in her heart: 'Is the Earth like this? It looks so small.'
Lin Yan seemed to see what Minnie was thinking. She said: "Compared to Gaia, the Earth is indeed not that big. In fact, there are countless existences bigger than it. However... it just happens that on such an inconspicuous Earth,
Special life like us humans was born.”
Minnie felt like she was listening to a lecture, so before she even said a few words, Minnie felt a little sleepy.
Lin Yan laughed when she saw this: "You don't like hearing this?"
Minnie nodded: "Well...it feels too far away and not interesting..."
Lin Yan also nodded: "Well, yes, it's too far away... Who would have thought that after so long, we, who were born from the origin of fire, would actually have to go back to the starting point to find salvation."
This sentence was slightly casual, but Minnie listened.
Although she didn't care on the surface, she was always very sensitive in her heart... Especially after knowing that she didn't have much life left, Minnie's whole mentality was changing.
"Actually... you don't have to tell me so much, just tell me what to do and what to do." Minnie thought for a moment and then said to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan stopped, turned around to look at Minnie, and then asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"Huh? What?" Minnie didn't understand.
"I mean, suppose you were on your way back to Earth now, what are your plans?"
Minnie frowned. She was very bad at thinking about these details, especially about big concepts. After all, it was related to all mankind. Such a burden was not something that could be easily shouldered.
So Minnie shrugged: "I don't know, I haven't thought about those issues."
Lin Yan smiled: "By the way, that's the answer. In fact, we are all the same. We have never thought about these problems, including me. I don't know what will happen after returning to Earth, and whether this plan can really save us."
Our world...I...really don't know..."
"Haha??" Minnie was speechless.
What this sister says is really scary!
You don’t know, so who can we count on?
So Minnie quickly raised her hand to stop Lin Yan and said: "Sorry, Sister Yan, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but...but I think that sometimes, as a captain, you really don't need to talk too much to your crew.
, and, even if you lie, you must never say words like 'I don't know' or 'I don't know' to your crew. This is what my dad often used to teach my brother. I didn't before.
I understand, but now...I'll give it to you."
Lin Yan smiled. Her smile was full of meaning, like relief, but also more like self-deprecation, containing too many emotions.
Minnie looked at it and suddenly felt a little strange.
Then her eyes brightened completely.
…
Some truths are indeed not suitable for others to teach... More often than not, certain decisions must rely on self-persuasion!
This is how Minnie is now.
She opened her eyes, and Lin Yan was gone...the huge space station was gone...
There was a familiar bed beneath me, and everything seemed like a dream.
But Minnie knew that Lin Yan had indeed been here, and with just one click, the last dark cloud in Minnie's heart was dispelled.
