Germanic Officer x You Who Traveled Across Time (Part 4)
Different world, fictional background!
The characters and worldview are privately designed and have nothing to do with reality.
The male and female protagonists are not biological, brother is just a name
Your legs kept going weak and shaking like sieve chaff. If you hadn't grabbed Feynman's arm, you would have just sat down on the ground.
He is really tall, about 185cm, and all you can see is his broad chest and lean waist.
"Would you like to dig out the contents yourself, or should I help you?"
Seeing that you didn't say anything, Feinz actually squatted down to help you personally, and his other hand didn't forget to support your waist to prevent you from falling to the ground.
You bit your lips tightly to prevent yourself from making any suspicious sounds, but two tears welled up in your eyes that could not be concealed, almost overflowing from your eye sockets.
After Feints dug out the things he left for you, he stood up again and watched you look at him with hatred in your tearful blue eyes.
You have very little experience in this area and stare at him in confusion.
"Ina, get used to this. Also, don't look at me like that just now. It reminds me of those dirty Judes I sent to the prisoner-of-war camps, and it makes me want to send you in too."
You don't doubt the truth of what Feints says; he certainly does.
"Is this... is this... okay... I won't get... pregnant..."
You controlled your emotions, moved your lips as calmly as possible, and spoke softly, but you were still startled by your own hoarse and dry voice.
You didn't want to get pregnant, and at that moment, you were actually a little grateful for the inhumane law. Mixed-race offspring were not allowed, and violators would be sent to military court.
"Next time, I will take better measures."
He actually said there would be a next time...
…
You didn't stay in bed. The soft mattress always reminded you of the bad experience of falling on the swing yesterday with no place to land.
You sit at the desk, resting your head on your arm, tilting your head, seemingly staring at the large floor-standing vase in the corner, but you are actually talking to the system.
System, I know you are here. Stop pretending to be dead. Please tell me how I can get home.
[Host, unlock all hidden quest lines. The system will immediately teleport you home. However, hidden quests require the host to actively trigger them. The system will not give any prompts.]
So, if I can't find the hidden quest line, I will have to stay here for the rest of my life?
【Theoretically, this is possible】
What exactly is the hidden quest line?! System, tell me about the two previous lines, the brother-sister reunion and the... rose line, how outrageous were they!
[Host, everything requires an opportunity, everything needs you to discover it yourself]
System! I think you are the real cyborg!
【Zizizi... (electrical sound)】
"Miss Yvette, my master ordered me to bring this. He said it's a very effective medicine, so you don't have to worry."
Helen brought a glass of water and a small bag of powder to your room. She saw the purple tooth mark on your collarbone and saw that you looked lifeless, so she sighed in her heart.
"I know you're still young, but with wars raging everywhere and everyone in danger, following the Master is a good choice."
The whole castle's servants must have known about your affair with Feynz. The messy living room, messy bedroom, messy bathroom, there are too many places left with traces, and they all need to be cleaned up.
Military discipline can make them keep silent, but it cannot prevent the understanding and teasing through eye contact.
“Yvette von Kármán. My full name.”
Amidst Helen's increasingly terrified expression, you tore open the powder package, mixed it into the water, shook it evenly, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
Even if you are Chinese at heart, this body is inextricably linked to Feintz, and you cannot calmly face the confusing relationship between you and him.
You had the wickedness to tell all this to Helen, hoping that the unfortunate servant would share some of your discomfort.
…
You stand in front of the window, looking at the Gothic church with beautiful spires in the distance. The clear and ethereal sound of bells is coming from the church. A sky full of carrier pigeons are flying freely in the sky above Brussels, like a swarm of bees flying and hundreds of boats competing for the current.
You recall a geography question you did that said Belgium is the kingdom of racing pigeons. Belgians are world-famous for their love of pigeons, and they hold large-scale pigeon races every year. You never imagined you'd actually witness this happening.
You were wearing a thin skirt and the autumn wind made you feel a little cold. You remembered seeing a shawl when you were packing your suitcase, but you didn't find it in the closet. It might have been left in the suitcase.
You open the suitcase and find the shawl inside, but this time you notice something is wrong.
This suitcase actually has a layer!
You open the inner layer and find a letter inside. Experience tells you that the letter hidden in the inner layer is either very important, or the owner of the letter is very important, or both.
The letter was written in English, with bold English handwriting and very rhythmic lines of letters. It is said that the handwriting reflects the writer, so the writer must have a very broad mind.
You can't help but feel confused.
This body of yours is of German descent and speaks German, while the Belgians are made up of the Flemish and Walloon peoples.
The Flemish people have basically the same ethnic origin as the Dutch, so they speak Dutch, while the Walloons have blood ties with the French, so they speak French.
When you were in the port of Antwerp, you could understand Belgians speaking, so this body knows French and Dutch.
You are even more confused. The people who interact with Yvette are mostly in Germany and Belgium, and the most common languages are German, French and Dutch. How could English suddenly appear?
You start to read the specific content of the letter. I hope the English vocabulary in this letter does not exceed the exam syllabus, otherwise you may not understand it. God bless you.
DearEna
Damn it, the person who wrote the letter actually called you Ina instead of Yvette, which means you are very familiar with him, so familiar that you can even call him by a nickname...
Haven'tseenyouforquiteawhile.ThewinterinLeningradreallychillsmetothebone.Fortunately,Iamwelloffforwinterclothing.
(Long time no see. The winter in Leningrad is freezing cold. Fortunately, the winter clothes I brought with me came in handy.)
Leningrad? The writer of the letter actually went to the Soviet Union? Your heart inexplicably tensed up, your temples pounding.
IameagertosharewithyouallthatIhavelearnedthatcanbringpowerbeyondnationalities,racesandcultures.
(I'm eager to share with you everything I've learned, which gives me a strength that transcends nationality, race, and culture.)
You don't know when Feintz will be back today. You quickly read the content in the middle. There are many words you don't recognize, which seem to be some technical nouns and terms, but the general content is about the writer's experience in the Soviet Union. You think this should not be important.
You saw the last few paragraphs of the letter.
Ibelievenobodycouldarguewithastraightfacethatthey'rejust.TheywillfinallyatoneforthesinsofthepoorJpeople.
(I believe no one can say with a straight face that they are righteous and that they will eventually atone for the sins of the poor Y. people.)
He can speak so righteously and openly to you about his inner thoughts during this special period...
What will be your relationship with him?
You suddenly remembered a line from "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "How many surprises do you have that I don't know about."
Ina, Ina, you are only eighteen years old, and your life experience is already so rich? My eighteen years were filled with endless homework and endless online classes.
Youwillfindthatuniqueroseamongtleswherethedovesfly.Everythingwillbelietupbyyou.
(When the white doves fly, you will find the unique rose among the nettles, and everything will shine because of you.)
This last sentence is so strange.
What does it mean to "find the unique rose among the nettles while the white doves are flying"?
Is this some kind of secret code for a meeting? Or perhaps a specific location? How did this journey suddenly go from a battle for survival to a war of espionage?!
System, system, is this a hidden quest line? Or is this just an ordinary letter?
【Zizizi... (electrical sound)】
As expected, never count on the system...
Dietrich
13thJAN.
(Dietrich, January 13)
Dietrich, Dietrich, you repeated the name several times in your mind.
You vaguely heard the barking of wolfhounds and the saluting of soldiers. You ran to the window and looked down, and saw an open car driving into the castle. The car was full of soldiers wearing helmets and holding bayonets. A jeep followed behind, and Feinz was probably sitting in it. He was back!
Before you could continue to ponder the meaning of this sentence, you quickly closed the compartment of the suitcase. What should you do with the letter? You must not keep it. Without fire, even if you tear it into pieces, it will leave traces. Should you eat it?
You remember in TV dramas, when you encounter this kind of situation, there is no way to destroy the trust, you can eat it...
You tear off a little, find it too much to chew, and spit it out. Forget it, forget it. Better not torture yourself any more. For now, just put it in the compartment of your suitcase and finish it when you have the chance.
…
For dinner you had two slices of chicken breast covered in thick sauce and roasted potatoes with spices. Fiennes didn't show up, but he should have gone back to the castle. You were very curious and asked Helen about it.
Helen knew your last name, and her expression when she looked at you was full of pity and sympathy. You got goosebumps several times when she looked at you.
She looked around and said mysteriously, "Miss Yvette, when Sulainie went to collect the clothes, she saw the corporal dragging a bloody man from a car. He must be taking him for secret interrogation."
ah……
Your heart ached for some reason. It made sense, considering the castle was so large, there had to be a dedicated area for interrogations.
…
When Fiennes entered your room, he brought with him a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of saltpeter and sulfur, which made you feel a little nauseous.
You suppressed your nausea and reached out to unbutton his bloodstained military coat, but he reached out and pulled you, his strong arms tightly locking your waist.
Compared to Feints, you are so much shorter. You raised your head slightly and looked at Feints in confusion, then tentatively called out, "Brother?"
You are not used to calling him brother, but if you don’t, you will be punished. This has happened more than once or twice, so now you have learned your lesson.
Feynz withdrew his hand from your lower back and instead carried you to the bed. He lowered his head and kissed your fair neck, biting you like a mad dog. His dangerous masculine aura instantly enveloped you.
…
…
…
He lifted you up and the warm breath he exhaled sprayed on your neck: "Yina, answer me"
Answer... answer what...
Ah... your favorite flower, right?
"I like... I like roses the most..."
…
Your face turns pale, and your mind instantly clears up.
The answer just now was wrong!
Your favorite flower is the rose! But Yvette's favorite flower is the blue cornflower!
But you can't care about that anymore, because after a brief moment of clarity, you fall into the abyss again.
…
You are too bored in the castle on weekdays, so Feinz actually allows you to go to his study to read for the first time.
Bookshelves line the walls, stretching from floor to ceiling, filled with books. You walk over to the bookshelf and, at chest height, run your right index finger along the spines of the books one by one.
After reading Fontane's "Lost and Confused", it is hard to imagine that an extremist who talks about Führer all the time would read critical realism.
Oh, you forgot, the books on this wall are not Feynz's. The Château de Seneffes was originally a private residence. After the fall of Brussels, it was confiscated and requisitioned, and it became their headquarters in Belgium.
You pulled the book from the shelf and flipped through a few pages. It was filled with German, and many of the words looked very similar to English. You shook your head, unable to read any more. If you did, by the time you traveled back in time, you wouldn't even know English, so how would you take the test?
When you put the book back, you accidentally feel a slight bulge behind the place where the book was placed.
?
No way! Movies say secret doors are usually in the study. Is there really one? And you found it?
You scratched the edge of the raised part with your fingernails, and soon a small square appeared, followed by the sound of a mechanism being activated. You quickly stepped back, and the bookcase really split in the middle, revealing an underground passage.
The castle's underground passages usually lead to the outside, which is a perfect escape route!
From Feynz's words, we can see that General April von Kármán, your uncle, still cares about your safety. As long as you can escape from the castle and return to Berlin, you can get rid of Feynz's restraints!
You're a person, a living person. You don't want to be his secret lover, especially as Fiennes's sister. This makes you feel very sorry for the owner of this body. What if you wear it back in time and the real Yvette comes back, how will she face Fiennes? It's embarrassing just thinking about it.
You took a deep breath and walked towards the underground passage. You heard the sound of a bookcase closing from behind you.
You go down the stairs, feeling more and more that something is not right until you see a ray of light up ahead. You walk in and see a man hanging from a swing frame by two thick iron rings. He is surrounded by torture instruments used for interrogation, including a spiked steel whip, a crowbar, and an electric shock device.
This underground passage does not lead to the outside, but is a place for secret interrogations!
Hearing the noise, the man managed to lift his heavy head, revealing a face covered in thick blood, with blood continuously flowing down his shoulders...
When you saw the man's face, a name immediately popped into your mind:
Dietrich!
You exclaimed and quickly covered your mouth. The man struggled to speak, but ultimately no sound came out. However, you could tell his mouth shape was... Ina...
He is the man who wrote to you!
Why was he brought here? You tried to untie the iron ring for him, but the sound of military boots stepping on the ground came from outside the main door, and crisp clicking sounds came from the corridor.
It’s too late…
Not only was it too late to save people, it was also too late to escape...
The door opened.
The man who came was Feints, followed by his guards and several corporals carrying wooden magazines.
The uniform seemed to be made for Feynz. The straight, strong lines of his shoulders, waist, and thighs outlined his military majesty. Every part of his body covered by the uniform could not hide the chilling fear that burst from within.
His attitude towards you has improved these days, making you a little forget about his identity, but now he is in the secret underground interrogation room, making you remember his terrifying nature all over again.
You swallowed and yelled shakily.
“Brother…Brother…”
Dietrich heard this, raised his heavy head, glanced in your direction, and suddenly began to struggle, but due to his weakness, only the scraping sound of the iron rings colliding made a sound. A soldier saw him getting agitated and immediately stepped forward to give him a bellyful of food.
Feinz spoke something in English. You didn't know he could speak English, and he spoke it so well. His voice was deep and penetrating, and it brushed against your ears.
If what he said wasn't the sentence in that letter, if you weren't in a secret interrogation room at this moment, this would be a pleasure.
“You will find that uniqueroseamongtleswherethedovesfly”
You froze for a moment, your mouth slightly open. In an instant, everything clicked.
You had to go through five body searches to enter headquarters, let alone your suitcase. If you could find the compartments in your suitcase, how could they not? Feints already knew the contents of the letter! He saw Ina's nickname on the letter, so he was able to confirm your identity so quickly!
As the white doves fly, you will find the unique rose among the nettles.
As expected, this sentence is a code word...
Feinz pulled you, stunned as you were, into his arms, his large hands gripping your shoulders with absolute strength. He lowered his head, as if he were talking about something incredibly ordinary.
"Ina, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to betray the empire will have only one fate."
You raised your head slightly, and the image of Feintz in your tearful eyes became blurry, your body shaking uncontrollably.
[Ding Dong——]
