Chapter 245 original work: Tragedy, secret love, and unrequited love!
Half of the chapter of [The Wall] is about the disaster that befell the capital, and half of the chapter is about the changes in the relationship between Jane and Valentine.
Shi Cunjin began to refine the key dialogue for the second half of the chapter.
[…
"Your trip to Medical City was really scary. How are you feeling?"
Fran Janning had two screens turned on, one showing her suspended work, and the other showing a half-projected image of Valentine.
"It's OK." In the projected video, Valentine looked pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, but his mood had returned to his former lively and enthusiastic state. "I felt like I had a long sleep, and I felt tired from sleeping too much. Overall, there was no big problem."
The projected Valentine shrugged, "But the teacher still asked me to stay in the Medical City for a while longer and observe more."
Then, Valentin looked at his friend on the other end of the video with some regret, clasped his hands together, and said, "I saw the invitation letter you sent me last month in my mailbox. Damn it, I like all the 6 banquet venues, but I was too tired last month. I will definitely not refuse your banquet next month!"
Jian Ning on the other end of the video laughed and said, "I won't have time to take you out to play next month. Go find someone else to kill time with."
"Ah? You're going to be too busy for the whole next month?" Valentine said angrily with disgust on his face, "Those old guys in the Alliance are putting all the work on you again?"
Fran Janning paused imperceptibly. After many months, Berling's playful voice echoed in his mind again: Now, Valentine's heart is clean again. That heart can really produce love.
"...Not all of this work was forced upon them." Fran Janning naturally turned silence into contemplation. He lowered his voice, "On the 2nd, a huge monster tide broke out in the Libra Channel in the southeastern region of the Alliance. The channel in half of the Libra sector was completely destroyed. The Alliance's asset storage star in that area was derailed due to the collapse of the channel. Recently, the Alliance has been desperately trying to make a deal with the military, asking the top ten to provide strong armed escort, try to rebuild the channel, and recover the derailed asset star as soon as possible."
"The most important assets of the Janening family were all stored in the Libra region, and half of them were also lost."
Fran Janning smiled sarcastically: "I don't have the time to help them negotiate with the Legion. I'm already busy locating the missing asset star."]
When Shi Cunjin saw this paragraph, he thought for two seconds and remembered the popular science in the Insect Encyclopedia: Insects retain a certain degree of primitive insect characteristics and are still accustomed to using storage methods similar to beehive ant nests.
Families with capital will specifically create or transform a planet to use as a family warehouse, storing a large amount of star energy, rare minerals, and rare items that the family has legally obtained. In order to facilitate the acquisition and exchange of resources, families with asset stars will specifically buy star areas near the black hole channel and move the asset star there to fix it so that starships can travel back and forth easily.
Jane Ning's asset stars are spread across the star areas near the black hole routes of the four major regions of the alliance. Those warehouse planets are densely packed like grapes and fish eggs near the extensive routes. Once the routes are bombed, the asset stars will lose their anchors and will slowly disappear into the depths of the starry sea like dandelions.
[…
"The Janening warehouse in Libra is lost? Oh my god."
"So... so many, when will you find them? What will you do after you find them? Do you still plan to keep them fixed in the Libra Channel area? If they are not rebuilt there, the asset stars will have no way to anchor them. The matter of No. 2... that was half a month ago! Hasn't the Alliance negotiated with the Ten Majors for armed escort? Your asset stars have already flown out of the Alliance star zone!"
Valentine was shocked: "Brother, your family's wealth is flying in the sky, why don't you go and negotiate escort cooperation with the top ten? Are you planning to become the first cosmic philanthropist in the history of the Capital Alliance?"
Fran Janeen: "...Thank you for your concern. I'm not flying that far at the moment."
"The Alliance has had frequent conflicts with the Legion recently. I'll locate the missing assets first." Fran Janning seemed to remember something and said, "I won't go to the front to join in the fun, so as not to get hurt before the deal is done. I don't know that you have been resting in the Medical City recently. On the 10th, the Alliance and the First Army held a meeting to discuss armed escort. A serious quarrel broke out between the two sides and turned into a fight. Speaker Berlin died. Ivano Berlin, who is related to your teacher by blood."
Valentine's face turns pale for a moment.]
【System. 】Every moment is a thought.
[Here we go! The time of death of the head of the Capital Alliance, Belin, has been recorded.] The system let out a wow and asked quietly: [Did the original Kash find something strange about the original Amon's madness? Did he find out something from the original Amon's brain ring? Speaker Belin of the Capital Alliance died at any time, but died during a meeting with the First Army. Did he suffer on behalf of the Joker?]
Shi Cunjin frowned and looked down.
[…
"Valentine?" Fran Janning waved her hand in front of the camera, frowning with concern. "You are not familiar with Behring from the Capital Alliance, so how could you be scared?"
"I know you well." Valentine said blankly, "... I, Fran... Cash... Oh, I forgot, I didn't tell you, I was always very tired and stressed in the past few months, and I forgot some things after sleeping. I forgot to tell you that Cash and I went to the engagement ceremony."
Fran Janeen frowned. "I know about this engagement. The whole alliance knows about it. What are you talking about?"
"No, that's not it. The engagement signing ceremony was held, but the engagement agreement was torn in half by Kashi, and it is no longer legally binding. The military has been asking Cat's Eyes recently when they can invite me to attend another engagement ceremony." Valentine's voice was confused and light, "... Fran, the First Army cooperated with the Ka Union and killed another speaker... Is the military expressing dissatisfaction with my passive resistance? You are my best friend, Fran, I am worried about your safety."
Fran Janning's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it. She asked calmly, "Why do you think that?"
Valentine said dejectedly, "My teacher told me that my passive resistance over the past few months has made the military very unhappy. Recently, the military may take some measures to warn me and ask me to sign an engagement agreement with Cash again."
"I have tried my best to call back all the male insect friends I know to the West District, but I didn't expect..."
A catastrophe broke out in the Libra District of the Capital Alliance. The Capital Alliance was severely damaged and had to seek help from the Legion. Valentine had a good friend in the Capital Alliance, Speaker Frankimir Janning. If Valentine continued to resist passively, the Legion, which had already killed a Speaker, might do something else. This is what Valentine is thinking now.
Some things are easier to say with people of the same age. If you say something wrong or mess it up, you won't get disappointed looks. Valentine asked hesitantly, "Fran, if I sign the engagement agreement again, will the military not make things difficult for the Capital Alliance?"
Fran Janning's heart sank. This was totally wrong!
Chancellor Ivano Berlin did not die because of Valentin.
Kashi of the First Army is ruthless and cruel, powerful and unstoppable, and the countless victories he has won are the most shining signboards of cooperation. After the start of the Tidal War, countless low-, medium-, high-tech, medical, and military families in the four districts have joined the First Army as hawks and dogs. As long as Kashi wants to find something, he can use his connections and technology to dig up a handful of burnt ashes even if he digs three feet underground.
Cash must have found something fishy about the confession of female soldier Eamon, but female soldier Eamon went crazy and all clues were cut off. Gobelier, who seemed to know the truth, definitely did not tell Cash the truth.
Ivano Berlin is currently the closest blood relative to Gobelil. Gobelil is the uncle of Speaker Berlin. The First Army killed Ivano Berlin, the Speaker of the Capital Alliance, to put pressure on Gobelil Berlin!
Fran Janning heard the message that Gobelier wanted to convey from Valentine's confused questioning: "Look, I still have a card in my hand that can influence the military. Only I know the full truth."
[If you want to get over this difficult time of being strangled by the military, come and cooperate with me. The Alliance has already lost a speaker. As the speaker with the least experience, you have successfully negotiated a large project with the military's escort. The old dogs in the Alliance Parliament will respect you and willingly follow you.]
[If you want to be like Nero Janning, gaining both fame and fortune and having a true heart, then follow the reasons I told Valentine and continue.]
【say:】
After a long silence, Fran Jennings asked, "When is the signing date that the military has rescheduled?"
Valentine said dejectedly, "The end of the month, on the 31st."
Fran Janine sighed: "Seven days later."
"Um."
"Valentine, look at me," said Fran Janning.
Valentine looked up in a depressed mood. "What?"
Fran Janine said calmly, "Come to see me from Cat's Eye today. Your teacher won't stop you from coming to my place to relax and relieve stress. I'll take you to the tourist star."
"From now on," Fran Janning paused for a moment, speaking in her usual voice, "whenever you feel unhappy, depressed, and having trouble breathing, come to me. You will always be welcome in the Summer Palace."
Valentine didn't understand for a moment and just stared at his friend blankly.
Fran Janening said: "At least in the Janening area of the Capital Alliance, you are free."
"In the future... forever? Do you still want to sign a marriage contract with me in the future? I heard rumors from the Mishu family of the Capital Alliance that Mishu wants to marry Jane." Valentine frowned slowly, "Steven Mishu, haha, a disgusting guy with a big head."]
Shi Cunjin was familiar with the name, Steven Mixiu, a senior A-level minister of the Capital Alliance, in his early prime, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to enter the Cat's Eye Council this year or next year. He looked down and a sigh flashed through his mind, as expected.
[“Mr. Valentine Michaux is married. Unfortunately,” Fran Janning said calmly, “he and his fiancée, like my parents, died in the Black Hole Passage accident on their honeymoon last month.”
"..." Valentin's eyes suddenly widened, and his disgusted expression froze comically.
Fran Jane looked at Valentine and said calmly, "I will not sign a marriage certificate with other gentlemen in the future."
"Now that other nobles have moved into the Summer Palace, where can you escape to and lie down and cry before you are driven crazy?"
"...Fuck!" Valentine screamed and leaned back suddenly.
The handsome brown-haired male insect seemed so shocked that he leaned back too hard, and his facial expression went out of control, with a double chin appearing on his handsome face.
Fran Janning: "..."
Fran Janning: "I'm a little sad that you're like this."
"You're not sad at all, your expression doesn't change!" Valentine screamed, "You're not here to play with my mindset after you've finished your work, right? When you were a kid, you loved to lie to me like this, always tricking me into thinking it was a game! Fran, you're crazy!"
Fran Janning: "..."
Fran Jane raised her eyebrows and said, "You are stupid. You believe everything."
Valentine breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I know you want to cheer me up... Choose a different way next time. You scared me to death, it's a bit disgusting..."
"I'm not trying to coax you this time," Fran Janning said. "I don't want you to die of depression."
"..." Valentine stared at Fran Janeen blankly. Five seconds later, he yelled and hurriedly turned off the call.
In the quiet study, Fran Janning sat quietly in a chair, lowering her eyes and closing her eyelashes, repeating the message from Gobelier in her mind: [Say: You love him.]
[Say: Continue to increase your importance in his heart and make Valentine willing to re-sign the engagement agreement with the military for you.
It got worse, worse, so bad that even when faced with a marriage agreement, Valentine had the courage to write his name.
Fran Janine stood up, left the study, and walked to the other side of the corridor.]
"The Libra bombing case chosen by the supporting character Jian Ning, Libra..." Shi Cunjin sighed. "Between family and true love, I chose family."
Shi Cunjin looked down to the last page.
[…
At the end of the corridor is a display room with a luxurious and retro door.
Fran Janeen opened the door with the authorization of the owner of the house and entered the showroom.
The showroom was empty and cold, and as Fran Janning walked in, the light strips on the floor and ceiling slowly lit up.
The four walls of the room are crescent-shaped, and all four walls are embedded with lattice-shaped display racks. The display racks on the four walls are filled with various medals of honor, trophies, guns and swords, bullets and cold weapons, alien beast fangs and furs, etc. These are the most proud trophies of the life of the head of the Jane Ning family.
Each head of the Jianning family can only place one souvenir in the family display room in his lifetime, symbolizing that his life is not in vain.
Fran Janning walked to the fourth wall and stood in front of it. This wall was also filled with things, except for an empty display wall frame on the right center axis.
Fran Janeen glanced at the empty left side of the display stand. On the black wooden plaque on the left side of the display stand was engraved a line: [Nero C. Janeen-19xx-2003-]
Next to his wall shelf is a display of his paternal grandmother. In the memorial box of the previous head of the Jane family is a neatly rolled marriage agreement tied with a golden ribbon.
Fran turned her gaze back and looked quietly at her own blank display wall.
Fran Janning closed his eyes and thought about the words his parents had left him.
[“You have inherited the best genetic advantages from Josephine and me. You will be the helmsman leading an era. When you encounter wind and waves, crush them. When you encounter lightning and rainstorms, use them. Fran, you are born to lead Jane Ning to glory.”]
[“Fran, observe more, listen more, think more, compare more, and be firm in your own ideas. You will see what you really want in the reflection of everything.”]
Finally, it is Fran's own idea: by cooperating with Gobelier, the power will be mutually beneficial, the politics will be smooth, and Valentine will be able to live well. After a few years or even a dozen years, the Janning family will be able to get an A-grade egg that is not slippery.
Fran blinked, his reflection reflected in the glass of the wall frame.
A standard privileged member of the Capital Alliance, the head of the Jane Ning family is perfect in every aspect.
That's what Fran wanted.
He touched the nameplate representing himself for the last time: [Frankimir J. Janning], turned and left the showroom, and sent a message to Gobelier's account.
Two days later, the honor guard of Mr. Cat's Eye Valentine von arrived at the Capital Alliance. On the same day, the First Army Headquarters agreed to sign an escort agreement with the Capital Alliance.
The escort project and all agreements were led by Mr. Janey, the youngest speaker in the history of the Capital Alliance.]
Looking at it from all angles, Shi Cunjin struggled to appreciate the original work, and tried hard to insert a tragic plot into the iron-like character relationship: the male supporting role has a one-sided love for the male protagonist, and they remain unmarried for the rest of their lives.
Shi Cunjin: “…”
How can Jian Ning, the original character who is about to be rolled into 00365, not be considered a male supporting role who never marries?
[File it.] Shi Cunjin said to the system.
【Okay! 】
Of the seven important characters in the original novel, except for the adjutant Jack who could not be viewed through the fragmented card, Shi Cunjin has almost figured out the situations of Cash, Eamon, Green, Jane, and Valentine. He has read most of the original novel piece by piece, understood their joys, sorrows, anger, and pain, and knows how to deal with, tame, control, coordinate, and live in peace with them.
So far, only the joker Gobelier is still hidden behind the hazy mist, quietly spying on Shi Cunjin.
The amount of information in these two chapters was very helpful to Shi Cunjin, especially the unexpected discovery of Gobelier's signature trick from the chapter on Jane Ning. Being able to reveal one of the jokers before the blood test was done was a great way to regain the advantage of information gap.
Shi Cunjin felt a mixture of happiness and misfortune. Who could have thought that the plot of the joker's bottom card had nothing to do with the enemy's official card.
Nor does it come from the memory of the protagonist Valentine.
Grid Green, who was indirectly killed by the joker, was not even qualified to enjoy this conspiracy.
The crazy Evans Eamon didn't know what was going on until he died.
Jack shreds the cards without giving it any thought.
After much calculation, it turned out that it was Jane Ning, who was in the same camp as Joker, who revealed Gobelier's trump card.
Really... Shi Cunjin shook his head and started the next task directly, asking the system: "Is there any news from the Cat's Eye Council?"
System: [The Council replied to the email, saying that Mr. Gary is in a meeting that he cannot leave. It is estimated that the meeting will end in 10 minutes.]
【Then you are expected to enter the experimental area airspace in 10 minutes, and the official landing area is about 20 minutes away. The experimental area stores all the AI technology research and killing AI motherboards of the Fate Group. A567 has set up a total of 700 review levels here, and each review level requires detection and scanning. A567 has set up the experimental area and cannot fly directly to skip the process, even if it is its own body. 】
[The parking area you are going to arrive at is outside the third ring of the experimental area. There are only 20 review checkpoints, and each review checkpoint takes about 1 minute.] The system scanned outside, [A567 got up, was washing and changing clothes in the bathroom, and was preparing to go to the airship operation room to connect with the platform for authorization.]
"There are still 30 minutes before landing? It's enough time for me to deal with the Cat's Eye Council's affairs temporarily." Shi Cunjin didn't intend to waste a minute. "List all the forms that the Cat's Eye Council has applied for recently. Did the Council encounter any special circumstances during the customs application process?"
System: [All medical devices sent by the Council for inspection are in compliance with the data provided by Cat Eye Medical City, and some confidential technologies have also been backed up for review. Special circumstances? Hmm, it seems not. ]
Shi Cunjin switched to a reading screen and carefully read the major categories of the parliament's declaration. Suddenly, he scanned something and clicked on a clearance application form. He said in a strange voice, "The parliament needs to bring a total of 36,000 waiters and guardians to enter the Far East Main Star?"
Shi Cunjin paused and said, "This is enough to form an army."
[Ah, this.] The system whispered: [Teacher Shi, you should change your mind sometimes. This time, there are several high-level A-level gentlemen coming to Cat's Eye! The Far East District does not allow a large number of high-level military corps in service to enter the country. The Fourth Army is blocked outside the star, but the A-level gentlemen cannot be without guards and waiters to clear the way. Think about the original work we just read...]
Shi Cunjin: “…”
It makes so much sense, I was almost convinced. Just before I knew that the Joker had a thousand eyes, I learned that 36,000 cat-eye moths were going to enter from the Far East, and they were harmless guards that the Cat-Eye Council thought could be sent in.
Shi Cunjin thought of the Cat's Eye Council in the original novel that was wiped out by the joker, and smiled with relief, muttering two swear words after a long time.
Even if all of them were used as ceremonial guards and waiters, 36,000 cat-eyed moth species entering the country would still be too many!
If I just blinked a little, the joker would be standing behind me.
"We will focus on the physical examination of these imported moth species. Every implanted metal joint, auxiliary prosthesis, and bionic organ that maintains life circulation in their bodies must be verified one by one to find out which generation of medical technology was used."
[Teacher Shi, the video feed from the parliament is coming in. The interviewer is Klein Gary.]
"Okay, turn on the holographic disguise projection." Shi Cunjin nodded and thought for a moment, "Change the face model this time, still use black hair and black eyes, without any conspicuous features."
【Okay. Countdown 3, 2, 1… connecting.】
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fate."
On the other side of the video, Gary frowned and asked with concern: "You called suddenly, what happened to Destiny?" He spoke a little faster and said: "Valentin came back and told me a lot about the meeting. He was very excited and took a shot of sedatives to fall asleep."
"How is Destiny doing?"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gary."
Shi Cunjin watched the video. Mr. Gary was sitting behind a desk, with two Moth waiters standing behind him with their heads bowed and eyes lowered. Shi Cunjin said, "Please rest assured, Destiny is fine. He came back from the meeting this morning and was also very happy. He is now resting in the exclusive Sky Zone Castle."
"Hmm." Klein Gary nodded in the video, as if he was listening attentively. "So what do you want to share with me?"
"I reviewed the customs declaration records for the Far East today." Shi Cunjin acted politely and said gently, "Please don't misunderstand me. I was just a little surprised by the number of customs attendants."
"Thirty-six thousand is enough to form three ground forces, four mecha troops, and four special forces. I am sensitive to numbers, so I hope you can help me understand."
