It was a little too long to train his body at night, Xu Le got up late, cooked porridge, and did not go to the park for a morning run and morning class as planned, but subconsciously turned on the TV. He wanted to see the progress of the demonstrations in the Federation, the strikes in the four states around the mountains, and whether Medellín would walk out of the Justice Department building, but he did not expect that the federal news channel would start broadcasting the news early in the morning.

The emergency hearing of the parliament should be related to the things he cared about, so he did not go out, silently feeling the flow of power in his body, while waiting for the hearing to be held. However, when the beautiful girl appeared on the news screen, Xu Le didn't know if his wait was correct.

The girl cut her head short, dressed more modestly, and her expression calmer. She looked in the direction of the camera and smiled, she walked into the venue, she walked up to the podium, she put her hand on the Magna Carta, she began to take the oath.

Xu Le thought that he was dazzled, or hallucination, and the biggest possibility was that the damn omnipotent federal computer had invaded his brain again, giving him the illusion of madness, otherwise he shouldn't have been able to see her.

However, reason gradually returned, telling him that all this was true, and it could frighten him, especially when the girl said his name in person, he gradually got out of his state of distraction, walked to the front of the TV screen, stretched out his finger and gently touched the face of the girl in the news, did not hear what she was saying clearly, but was shaken by the cold touch of his body.

Standing silently and blankly in front of the light screen for three seconds, Xu Le turned around and took a piece of clothing from the closet behind the door and put it on his body, went out and entered the elevator until the underground parking lot.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the black car, fastening his seatbelt, and turning on the car's light screen to watch the live broadcast of Federal TV, he moved the car, drove away from the apartment as fast as he could, and rushed to Highway 2, heading for the D.C. under the clouds in the distance.

"You mean the Charter Bureau will make mistakes, too?"

"The charter can't go wrong, but people do. ”

On the light screen of the car, the parliamentary hearing continued, Xu Le did not look down, but listened carefully to every word that the girl said, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, only a little pale, and occasionally a few traces of blush appeared that did not know what kind of emotion it represented.

"You used to be a returnee, and according to you, you're still a spy in the military, and I don't understand why you risked being arrested to return to S1 and asked for this special hearing. ”

light screen. Councillor Zion frowned. stopped Zhang Xiaomeng from answering. Continued: "One has no loyalty to the Commonwealth. Capricious woman. How credible is your testimony?"

"I am loyal to the Union. It's just that it's not loyal to the federal government. ”

......

......

On-board anti-radar equipment has long been turned on. Along the way, the probe failed to respond to the ghost-like black car. Xu Le didn't know how much he was speeding. There is no extra energy to care about the drivers on the highway who are scolding. He squinted at the course of the hearing. All the way into the city. Bypass the open Hawking Boulevard. Turn to Charter Square. It was blocked by busy traffic near Parliament Hill.

Without the slightest hesitation. Xu Le casually threw the car on the side of the street. Close the door firmly. Running towards the parliament building in the distance. Run wild. Sorting out clothes all the way. That's when he noticed. I grabbed a military uniform without epaulettes.

The traffic in the city is not usually so busy, so congested, I wonder if it is because the demonstrations are blocking the traffic and hindering the communication of people. Xu Le angrily squeezed out the young students holding the signs, and by the time he ran to the bottom of the stone steps of the parliament building, a long time had passed.

The front of the Houses of Parliament was crowded with news outlets, and only a few large television stations were allowed to broadcast the hearings live, and hundreds of reporters and videographers were standing on the side of the lawn, hurriedly reporting the situation to the channel director in front of the selected background of Parliament Hill, and the scene was chaotic.

Xu Le walked through the heavy cameras and walked briskly up the stone steps to the door of the parliament building, where he was stopped by the cordon outside the door and the hundreds of military police officers who seemed to be facing a great enemy. Outside the cordon, in addition to those notes, there were some excited people who came for some reason.

All around was excited, Xu Le wiped the sweat from his forehead, and in this cold day in late autumn, he actually ran out of sweat. Through his shoulders and the brim of his hat, he looked at the high main entrance of the parliament building, listening to the sound of discussion in his ears, but gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the girl was still alive, I don't know why, I didn't need a reason, his body rushed out of the apartment as if it was controlled by instinct, and came to the closest place to her. But at this moment, he suddenly thought, what are he going to do?

Is it like in the movie?

The soldiers of the galaxy returned home with honor, and gave a speech at the rally in the Tokyo Special Administrative Region, and the lovers who had not seen each other for three years shouted their names loudly at the other end of the lawn and the flat pool, so they were stunned, lifted, looked far away, surprised, jumped off the stage, jumped into the pool, brought up a white splash, startled a few lazy water birds, ran away, and then hugged each other in the pool, bowed their heads and kissed down, there were tears, it was a reunion.

But this is not a reunion, Xu Le felt a little cold, but he still stood stubbornly at the door, waiting for the girl to appear.

......

......

Escorted by officials from the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Xiaomeng walked out of the interior of the parliament building, with a confident smile on her face, shook hands with the lawmakers who had sent her out to thank her, and whispered a few words.

A news reporter handed over the microphone and asked questions loudly, Zhang Xiaomeng smiled lightly, and did not answer the actual content, but used her composure and sincerity to perfectly show the image of the Yamanaka Army.

Xu Le looked at the girl in the middle of the stone steps quietly through the crowd, it had been a long time since he had looked at her so closely, he had only looked at her from a table before, he had never looked at her from a distance before, but now across the crowd, it was as far away as a galaxy.

Zhang Xiaomeng has become a lot more mature, this kind of maturity does not mean that the harsh natural environment of Qinglong Mountain has left any indelible traces on the girl's face, she is still young and beautiful, but there is a little more indescribable perseverance in her temperament.

I don't know how many things happened to her in this year, but the elf girl with the red devil's horn has finally grown up. Xu Le watched quietly, thinking quietly, watching her smile sincerely and facing the memory, thinking about the snow and porridge in the Meiyuan girls' apartment, those memories he never forget, but because of her death, he became unforgettable, but for some reason, at this time, looking at her alive in front of his eyes, those memories that often fell asleep at midnight were indifferent in an instant.

At this time, Xu Le saw Zhang Xiaomeng in the flash turn his head sideways, his calm and calm gaze was a little wandering, as if he wanted to find something in the crowd, and then those eyes fell on his face.

On the stone steps of the highest authority of the Federation, through the crowd and noisy voices, Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes touched, and at this moment, any existence other than them seemed to no longer exist.

A trace of surprise, a trace of helplessness, a trace of guilt, a trace of sadness, a trace of uneasiness, a trace of joy, and countless emotions finally just converged into a teardrop and slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.

Xu Le quietly watched her cry in the crowd, and her originally incomparably complicated and excited emotions suddenly became transparent and calm.

One of the people in the crowd asked a question loudly, and Zhang Xiaomeng, who was crying in a daze, woke up and slowly turned around, but it was so difficult to turn back.

The flashing lights around her were so bright, Zhang Xiaomeng clenched her fists tightly, so she saw the other party later than him before, and at that moment, she thought she was wrong.

......

......

The sudden arrival of a female soldier in the D.C. to testify on Parliament Hill was the first time in the history of the Union. Ji and the people had been following the proceedings of the hearing, and were impressed by the composure and fortitude of the young girl on the stone steps, who had a temperament that her federal peers did not possess at all, and which was extremely charming in front of this magnificent building.

However, at this time, many people and the people have been showing calm and resolute her, and her eyes suddenly wet.

"Miss Zhang Xiaomeng, why are you crying?" Ji asked loudly, "Is it because you think of the unfair treatment you have suffered, or because you are angry at the despicable actions of Councillor Medellin?" ”

"The flash is too bright. Zhang Xiaomeng replied with a smile, and there was laughter all around. In the midst of laughter, the girl looked out of her peripheral vision, but sadly saw that the boy had disappeared into the crowd.

The moment she turned her head, Xu Le didn't hesitate anymore, and turned around and left directly, he had been here, and he saw it, confirmed, and that's it.

He walked down the stone steps in a lonely way, and was stopped by a group of Justice officials wearing trench coats and holding black umbrellas.

The sky over the Tokyo District is cloudy and thick, but the probability of rain in late autumn is rare, so the pedestrians on the street and the scribes up and down the stone steps do not bring umbrellas. So these officials wearing trench coats and holding black umbrellas stand out.

Trench coats and black umbrellas, which are standard for Justice Department officials in the fall, are like those heavy black commercial vehicles of the FBI, which clearly show their identity.

"Are you Xu Le?" a Justice Department official stopped him, showed his ID, and said, "There is a case that you need to investigate, and I hope you can cooperate with us on this trip." ”
