Chapter 60
"Former name: Hersel Zalai." Yun Piancheng went straight to the point.
"I remember I said I didn't know her, Cheng Yun." He Lai tilted his head.
Yun Piancheng didn't hide it: "There's a record of your name change in your file. There's no point in denying it."
He Lai didn't panic at all after being exposed. Instead, he smiled easily, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Okay."
Then she changed her angle and mouthed the word: General.
Ever since He Lai pointed out, intentionally or unintentionally, that she looked like Cheng Yao, Yun Piancheng was already certain that the person in front of her knew her identity, so she didn't react much.
Moreover, with the drone broadcasting the event live, He Lai adjusted his angle and did not reveal her identity, so his stance was not hostile for the time being.
"Are you interested in telling the story of Hessel?" Yun Piancheng asked without refutation of He Lai's address.
He Lai was startled, as if he hadn't expected Yun Piancheng to choose to question Hessel. After he figured it out, he smiled and said, "Your friend Kofi Owen won't kill me, will he?"
Yun Pian spoke honestly: "It's hard to say."
"I thought you didn't like listening to stories." He Lai laughed, suddenly looked up, and looked at the white sky through the branches.
Without much preparation or hesitation, this experience seemed to be engraved in Helai's soul. He turned it over and over many times in the middle of the night, and it was so impressive that he could recite it without hesitation.
"I'm a habitual thief. Can you imagine? I was only eight years old at the time. My family was beaten to death by space pirates. I couldn't survive if I didn't steal."
"It was General Cheng Yao who drove away the pirates and shared food with me. I like her so much. I think generals are all very powerful, so I also want to join the army to fight pirates."
"When I became an adult, I excitedly signed up for military service, but I realized I overestimated myself."
He Lai's smile could hardly be maintained, and his face turned paler and paler. "I'm afraid of using guns, afraid of death, and afraid of taking the lives of innocent people."
"Hersel was my therapist at the time. She had a very good temper and was very good at coaxing me."
He said, "I stole Hessel's optical computer, but she wasn't angry. She said it was okay as long as I was happy and that I could use it as I pleased, as she had a spare one."
"She knows I'm timid, afraid of being shot and afraid of death. She can't fight, isn't a good shot, and is just an attendant, but she always stands in front of me."
He Lai's face completely fell. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath before continuing, "That was the last war. I failed to protect her. She was shot. The medic was far away from us, and the enemy wasn't far away either."
"She said she couldn't live anymore and wanted me to live on in her place. She also gave me the authorization code and said that I would be Hersel from now on. If I was afraid of death, I didn't need to join the army anymore and could just be a safe psychologist."
He Lai suppressed the sob in his voice, raised his head, and stared at Yun Piancheng with his red eyes.
"I think it's strange that she said that. According to the service standards at that time, even if you didn't actively sign up, you would be forced to take your turn later."
He Lai opened Heser's light brain, flipped to the personal permissions section, and placed the virtual screen in front of Yun Piancheng: "She actually has permanent military service exemption. I left the battlefield directly, and no one came to look for me... Looking for Heser, it's like someone arranged it."
"I don't understand, Cheng Yun, I don't understand... Why would someone with such a special identity give up his good life and run to the front lines for a hobby?"
He Lai finally couldn't control her emotions anymore, tears started to fall. She wiped them away and asked, "Give me a hug, okay?"
Yun Piancheng hesitated and opened his arms.
He Lai hugged him tightly and buried his head in Yun Piancheng's neck: "It's as warm as General Cheng Yao..."
Yun Piancheng was stunned, his mother's body temperature flashed back in his memory, accompanied by a white light.
Yun Piancheng raised his elbow to wave away He Lai's hand, and quickly followed up with his other hand, hitting He Lai's wrist hard, and the unopened cold blade fell to the ground.
He Lai felt pain and was quickly grabbed by Yun Piancheng, and was pressed to the ground in a completely undignified manner.
Yun Piancheng picked up the short blade and wanted to destroy the sensor on He Lai's body and eliminate her, but the forced information on the optical computer was faster.
A virtual screen popped up in front of his face, with a row of large words on it.
[Psychologists are not eligible for elimination. Please do not restrict their freedom. Attacks and eliminations are not counted in the total.]
Yun Piancheng looked up and saw a drone facing them, diligently broadcasting the live footage.
Feeling a little unhappy, Yun Piancheng let go of He Lai and moved away from her.
He Lai brushed the mud off his body, as if nothing had happened, and smiled: "Cheng Yun, you are so fierce."
"You still didn't tell the truth." Yun Piancheng said bluntly.
He Lai laughed: "Well, it's half and half. You are a psychologist, so make your own judgment."
"But I don't mean any harm. I just want to be her and do the same things as her. Otherwise, why would I give myself a name that's so closely related to her?"
He Lai took a step back and waved to Yun Piancheng: "I'm leaving now, don't miss me~"
Yun Piancheng didn't say anything. He watched her disappear and opened the group communication.
[Psychologist]: Did you catch it?
[Scout]: They’ve all been caught.
Yun Piancheng walked towards the stronghold. Shi Shuyun had already taken off the enemy's equipment and computer, intending to crack the permissions to see what information the other side knew.
Seeing Yun Piancheng coming in, Shi Shuyun took the time to greet him: "Amazing! Someone really took advantage of the situation to come here."
Then she felt strange again: "Why didn't you bring anyone back? Did you let him run away?"
"What's coming is a crane. We are not allowed to catch it or eliminate it." Yun Piancheng briefly explained.
Shi Shuyun was not surprised at all, and even drew inferences from what he had learned: "Then why don't you go to their base camp and get some information back."
Yun Piancheng skipped the topic and asked, "Have you cracked it?"
"It's almost done," Shi Shuyun said, glancing at the soldier in charge of decryption. "There are only so many codes we've been taught. We'll just have to try them one by one."
Yun Piancheng: "Open the virtual map."
Shi Shuyun opened it obediently: "What do you think?"
"Go over there from these areas," Yun Piancheng marked two lines on the map. "Spread out, group up, anything within this range. Use the portable weapons with the longest range."
Shi Shuyun knew that Yun Piancheng was trying to outflank them, but he couldn't figure out why he chose this range. He humbly asked, "Is there any principle behind this?"
This question stumped Yun Piancheng.
She has always only needed to make decisions and send people to execute them, without having to explain to her subordinates, but now her identity is obviously different.
You can't just say that this range is Ji Huai's emotional sensing range? Once you enter, it's like turning on thermal imaging, and you can be located wherever you go.
Yun Piancheng avoided the main point and said, "I taught him."
Shi Shuyun pursed his lips and reluctantly accepted this setting: "Okay, pillow person."
Yun Piancheng:.
With a specific direction of action, Shi Shuyun quickly issued orders and immediately divided the troops into five groups and headed outside the range. Yun Piancheng followed her to the farthest and closest location to the enemy stronghold.
The captured undercover had long been eliminated. Ji Huai was not surprised when he received the information about the reduction in personnel. He was ready to fight the enemy.
He sent troops to a place two-thirds of his perception range, and he bet that Yun Piancheng would let three groups of troops press in from the outside.
After all, Yun Piancheng knew very well how much he weighed.
If the enemy was not planned by Yun Piancheng and assembled for a frontal attack, at this distance he could open the city gates to welcome the enemy in, and then call back his troops to surround them.
The first way to win this battle, capturing the flag, has been abolished. The only thing they can compete with is the number of troops - to see who can eliminate the opponent's commander and half of the troops first.
Ji Huai was quite confident in his position as commander, thinking that no one could defeat him. He had even begun to imagine that Yun Piancheng would personally go into battle against him.
At this time, He Lai returned to the base belatedly. Ji Huai immediately noticed that she was in an unusually low mood and asked, "What happened?"
"Cheng Yun," He Lai said calmly, "I had a friendly chat with her and reiterated our roommate relationship. I hope she can go easy on you when she beats you up."
"Oh, right, the overall forces haven't been allocated yet. There are ambushes on both sides of the mountain. The specific plan is still unknown, and no useful information has been gathered."
Ji Huai knew that He Lai was lying before he came, but he couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Will she really come? Did she mention me to you?"
It’s not that he wasn’t curious about what kind of things that made He Lai sad were discussed in their “friendly exchange”, but rather than listening to He Lai’s story, Ji Huai preferred to pester Yun Piancheng to talk to him.
He Lai was not surprised that Ji Huai's attention was diverted, and said mercilessly: "It was not mentioned."
Ji Huai is depressed.
"Why don't you just win this battle quickly and capture her back? You can get along with her however you want." He Lai smiled.
Ji Huai thought thoughtfully: "That makes sense."
Since He Lai did not bring any useful information, Ji Huai decided to proceed as planned, leaving the base and heading to one of the defense points to prepare to participate in the battle.
Ji Huai went to the team that Pope was in.
They hid in the woods, scattered among dense trees and shrubs, wearing camouflage and red epaulettes, and were very concealed from a distance.
Because he got up too early, Pope was leaning against a tree with his gun in his arms, feeling drowsy. When he saw a familiar figure walking towards him from a distance, his sleepiness lessened by half.
Fortunately, it was not an enemy attack.
Especially not Cheng Yun.
No one knew who leaked the news, letting Cheng Yun know that he was saying bad things about her behind her back, so she openly and secretly accused him of data anomaly and dragged him to his workstation to give him a good beating.
He was repeatedly ordered not to instill strange things into Ji Huai and lead him astray.
Pope had never felt such a strong sense of oppression. He always felt that if he dared to refuse, he would be beheaded in the next second, so he was in a hurry to agree.
Then he went to Ji Huai to complain, and got a shy Ji Huai*1 and a love-brained speech*2.
Ji Huai's voice still lingered in his mind: "See, I told you she likes me! She cares about me so much!"
"Don't say bad things about her anymore, or I'll beat you up."
Pope waved to Ji Huai to show his presence. As expected, Ji Huai noticed him, walked up to the tree where Pope was, and quickly jumped up the tree with his gun in hand.
"How long do you think we're going to squat here? My butt's going to be numb from all that sitting." Pope stretched his body backwards.
There were too few points of support, and Pope's center of gravity shifted when he stretched, and his balance was suddenly broken. He waved his limbs in panic, and was dragged back by Ji Huai's collar with an expressionless face.
"There are still nine hundred meters." Ji Huai said.
Strong emotions broke into his perception from three directions.
Pope perked up and nudged Ji Huai with his elbow: "Well, guess, is she in here?"
