"What's wrong, Ai?"

Because he had seen too many deaths in the slums of Sitney in his early years, Abner chose medicine without hesitation after getting the chance to choose his future life. Although he encountered many setbacks in his studies due to his background, it was not even a problem compared to the difficulties he had to face in the slums.

By now, Abner had become a promising young doctor.

However, these two brothers from Sitney, one is a doctor and the other is an officer, both are busy people who rarely see each other all day. It was a rare holiday when both of them had time, and Zalika, as the elder brother, called him over on the grounds that he had not seen his younger brother for a long time.

So there was a scene where the two brothers sat side by side, watching the news on their laptops - today was the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the new alliance.

Abner: “…”

After three consecutive days of intensive surgery, Abner was about to take a long vacation at home when he finally got there. His brother called him and the message on the other end was vague. Abner thought something serious had happened and took a tube of energy potion to barely make it here.

The result... is watching the news together...

He did not kill his brother on the spot because he was picked up by the other party.

Now, this guy still has the nerve to ask him what's wrong? !

Zarika looked at his brother with a smile: "Don't be so grumpy, Ai, it's a rare anniversary..."

On days like this, he suddenly wanted to recall the past, but he was alone and his house was empty, so he had to call his younger brother over.

On days like this, the Alliance would also release some official footage from the past, which happened to include battles he had participated in. Zalika also took the opportunity to tell his brother about his experiences over the years.

Although Abner was still holding his breath, when the other party really recalled the past, he still forced himself to listen.

He didn't know much about Zarika's experience in the Broken Star, as she rarely talked to him about that time. Now that Zarika brought it up on her own initiative, he didn't interrupt.

Zarika's story is not very exciting, and even contains a lot of negative emotions.

There are companions who sacrificed themselves, there are situations where one is powerless, there is the confusion of retreating...

In fact, when facing [Starborn] who possess [Isuflor], [Shattered Star] is at a disadvantage most of the time.

Zarika spoke for a long time until the light brain projection changed the scene to a military parade in the first star field. The sudden change of light and shadow brought him back to his senses.

He was still a little dazed. "Sorry, Ai, it's pretty boring, and it's not a happy thing."

"Indeed." Abner nodded simply.

Such a sharp response actually made Zalika raise her voice a little, "Hey - at least give your brother some face?!"

Zarika thought Abner was saying that what he said was boring, but in fact Abner nodded to the second half.

——That’s definitely not a happy thing.

Abner paused for a moment, then continued, "But it's worth it, isn't it?"

Zarika was stunned for a moment, looking at the image projected on the computer... The starships were arranged in a neat queue, changing their shapes during the voyage.

After a moment, he couldn't help but snort and chuckle, "Of course."

His gloomy expression, which had been a little depressed because he was lost in memories, suddenly relaxed.

…

…………

The images on the optical computer continued to play, seemingly telling the story of the development of [Shattered Star].

Abner saw one of them suddenly froze.

“This person…”

Zarika was unfamiliar with this footage, and judging by the date, it was before the formation of the new alliance.

But the faces in it are very familiar, because the people in the image - those who are still alive - almost all hold important positions in the New Alliance. They were the core members of [Shattered Star] back then.

And the one Abner was referring to was the only unfamiliar face inside.

Zarika did not know this person. He was not listed among the alliance's top leaders or on the list of martyrs.

But this actually makes the identity easier to guess.

Zalika thought for only a moment, then suddenly realized: "It's him."

Abner: “Him?”

Zarika: "He was the 'brain' of [Shatterstar] back then. It is said that when he was still around, [Shatterstar] could even deal with [Starborn] who possessed [Isuflor]... But later..."

As he spoke, he frowned, as if he remembered something unpleasant.

But as the two watched, the personal resume information on the projection unfolded, and the expression on Zalika's face changed, finally freezing in astonishment.

[Star Calendar 578, Joined [Shattered Star]]

[In December of the same year, he led the victory in the self-defense war in the Delta HYJ0 region of the Dickens Galaxy, and the eastern region of the Dickens Galaxy was actually out of the surveillance of [Isuflo]]

…

[In the 580th year of the Star Calendar, during the Red Battle, he served as the Chief of Staff of the First Legion of the [Shattered Star] and seized Galah as the temporary base of the [Shattered Star]]

…

…………

[In the year 582 of the Star Calendar, carrying out a special mission, obtaining information related to [Isufro]]

…

[In the year 585 of the Star Calendar, assisted An Tang, a member of the [Shattered Star] intelligence team, to safely arrive at the [Shattered Star] base with important S-level intelligence [Isufuluo] related content]

…

…………

His resume is very long, but each item has enough weight, and they accumulate little by little to form the final brilliant achievement.

In contrast, his video footage is quite scarce. Even the footage in his resume is obviously extracted from photos with others, and his childish face rarely shows any expression.

Zarika paused as he browsed, lingering for a long time on the introduction of "special mission", and then he let out a long breath -

"I see."

No wonder the wanted poster has been hanging in the alliance for so long without any action from the alliance.

After all, the other party once had a special status in [Shattered Star] and might have held some important information. Now that [Star Clan] has become a weak force, there is no reason to leave him out.

A special mission?

Being able to gain trust within the [Starborn] with that status, should we say that he really deserves to be the "brain" of the [Shattered Star]? How old was he at that time...

And Abner stared stiffly at the familiar face in the image.

There is also a brilliant resume in the notes on the side, plus the other party’s current position.

Abner: “…”

“…………”

Logically speaking, so many years have passed, he shouldn't remember someone he only spent a few days with on Sitney.

However, the impression the other party left on him was too deep, whether it was his personality, appearance, or that mysterious identity.

…A few years after that man left, he once almost mistook someone for someone else in Gallagher.

To be honest, he still had a vague idea of what that person looked like.

But after today's incident...

Abner felt that he would never forget this face in his life.

Meanwhile, Zarika accepted reality faster than his brother. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that he had already left when I joined [Shattered Star]... Otherwise, I could have gotten to know him... No, he's such a big shot after all... Even when I was in [Shattered Star], it was hard to see him..."

"But judging from the video, he doesn't seem to be in good health... Hahaha, it could also be because of his position in the photo because of his relationship with Captain Lyle and Captain Ling..."

“…”

“…………”

After a long silence.

Abner suddenly said, "...I know him."

Zalika had already strayed from the topic of his sighs and lamentations, and for a moment he did not realize what his brother meant.

Abner's face still looked a little dull.

He raised his head and gestured at the projection screen, where the New Alliance Special Merit Award Ceremony had already progressed to the stage.

After so many years, he finally saw the other person's current appearance.

To be honest, there is no change in appearance, but the complexion is much better.

Abner turned to his brother and repeated in a flat tone, "I know him."

Zarika suddenly felt that she couldn't understand what her brother was saying. "What does 'know' mean...?"

Or maybe it's because he spent a long time in the military, and his understanding of words is different from that of today's young people...

Abner had already gotten over his initial shock and was now able to explain calmly, "It's the 'acquaintance' you thought it was."

He then recounted in an exceptionally calm tone the entire process of how he met Lord Ling Lu on the planet Sitni before Zalika came back.

"Oh, right," Abner seemed to suddenly remember, "that year when you came back you were disgusted with it for a long time and finally threw away the sleeping bag..."

Zarika, who was still a little dazed and looked like he was listening to a story, choked. The cup in his hand rolled to the ground, and the half cup of wine in it spilled all over the floor. The cleaning robot was triggered and started to work, but he didn't care about it at all. He sat up straight and moved closer, staring at his brother without blinking, "Could it be?!"

Abner nodded and confirmed this "No way", and decisively gave his brother the final blow, "He was the one who slept with it."

Zarika: !!!

Looking at his brother with a blank expression and obviously a lost soul, Abner's depression after working overtime and being called by a communication finally dissipated completely, and he even recovered a little bit of spirit.

"Taking pleasure from other people's suffering" is indeed not a good habit, but Zack is not "other people".

Abner couldn't help but touch the space button that he had kept for many years. After the development of the alliance over the years, this thing had long since changed from a high-priced luxury item to an everyday necessity, but Abner still kept the one from that year. He felt at ease and gloated over his misfortune.

However……

Looking at Zarika who suddenly lowered his head to operate the optical computer, Abner wondered: "What are you doing?"

Zarika: "Buy a ticket! Go back to Sitney!!"

Abner: “……?!”

Wake up! What's the point of going back to Sitney now? Are you really going to dig that sleeping bag out of the garbage? You can't stay there for that long?! Do you really think it's still the same as District 36?!

Chu Lu, who thought that he would have nothing to do after the "file declassification" and receiving a medal, received a request for authorization for a documentary before the next five-year anniversary.

A famous interstellar director hopes to adapt a movie based on his deeds.

Chu Lu, who was once pulled back to a small world because of a movie: !!!

He suddenly became alert.

——No, no, you can’t do that!

However, a certain alliance leader who still regarded himself as a "guardian" said: "What's the harm in trying?"

"Is Lulu going to act in the show? If it's you, you can definitely be an actor... I don't have anything to do recently..."

Chu Lu: "..."

Don't just give people weird nicknames! Also, regarding "nothing happened recently"... Ms. Sana, who has not slept for six days and is barely staying alive on energy potions because of the implementation of the new education law, will cry when she hears this! She will definitely cry!!

——Also, he didn’t even agree to the authorization, so why did we already get to the stage of “casting”? !
