There are a few days every month when my belly gets bigger

"Garuda?" the young man murmured.

He half kneeled on the ground, raised his head and stared at the tall mecha.The metal giant is not placed in the pendant, but displayed in its full form. The strange shape makes it look elegant and powerful.

And the bird's head's eyes were lowered at the moment, and the same dark blue pupils collided, and Sui Guangle suddenly had an illusion that he was being watched by the other party.

Watching so quietly and silently, it seems that in the ancient universe, from the beginning to the end, there is only each other facing each other at this moment, so deja vu.

Sui Guangle suddenly had an absurd thought in his heart, and he whispered: "Garuda?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he pursed his lips again and looked at the deep sapphire inlaid in the eyes of the mech: "Lagarde?"

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his mind, the source of which was unknown, but it seemed that his soul was being burned. The power surrounding him gently caressed his mind. And tolerance: "Ethan?"

The metal arm of the mecha stretched out, gently lifting him onto the body.Returning to the familiar space again, Sui Guangle even wanted to cry for a moment.

He used to only think that his mech Garuda was hidden on the Tower of Stars, but he never thought that he could meet old friends again here.

The oval training cabin was opened, and the boy was gently placed inside.The translucent liquid instantly surrounded him and slowly seeped into his body.

Joy surged in my heart, and even my tingling mind seemed to heal a lot.Sui Guangle turned her head slightly, but did not see the expected familiar figure.

"Don't move, Ethan, you are seriously injured." Lagarde's voice sounded directly from his mind, which startled him.As Guangle opened his mouth to breathe out, the liquid poured into his mouth in an instant.

"That's it, try to use your mental power to communicate with me, don't talk to Ethan!" Somehow his head was padded, and his face finally revealed the liquid surface, and Sui Guangle could only take a breath at this time.

He tried to think in his head, thinking, "Where are you, why didn't I see you, are you hiding?"

"I am by your side." Lagarde said.

Sui Guangle heard the words and radiated all her spiritual power, trying to catch the figure of the other party: "Where are you? I can't see it now, so don't play hide-and-seek with me."

However, he searched carefully with his mental strength, but he didn't catch the other party's trace.

With a bad premonition in his heart, Sui Guangle radiated his spiritual power again: "Lagarde?"

Lagarde's mental strength is comparable to his, maybe a little stronger, but it is not too difficult if you want to find him.But now he couldn't find the other party's trace at all—unless the other party was deliberately hiding it.

"Don't you want to see me?" Sui Guangle whispered, "Is it because I am not the shell I used to be?"

There was a faint sigh in my mind: "How could it be? I can recognize what you have become."

A screen appeared on the top of the training cabin, and a familiar figure appeared on it.He was so close to him, it seemed that if he blinked, his eyelashes would sweep across his body on the screen.

So the boy really blinked his eyes.

"What's wrong?" asked the person on the screen.

Sui Guangle said what he was thinking, just as he expected, Lagarde showed a helpless and funny expression.

He habitually stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to rub the boy's head, but when he raised his hand in the air, he suddenly froze.

Lagarde put her hand down nonchalantly, as if trying to cover up the movement.

But Sui Guangle has already caught him: "Where's your hand?"

He raised his voice suddenly, as if he was questioning, but trembling slightly: "Lagarde—what about your body? Why haven't you come out after so long? Where are you—"

"I'm by your side, Ethan, listen to me..."

"Did your body disappear...or, did you die?"

Lagarde looked at his slightly red eyes, feeling a little helpless: "Ethan, I didn't want to tell you...why did you have to ask?"

He closed his eyes, as if to cover up the tiredness and sadness in his eyes.

Lagarde hesitated: "Ethan, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Sui Guangle thought to himself, otherwise for whom?Actually...not really sad, just a little surprised.

"Just a little surprised, I thought you were immortal."

Lagarde laughed and shook her head: "Everyone will meet the end of life, and who is immortal? Ethan... Besides, now, I can also be counted as living in another way."

The boy looked at him silently, with a faint light in his dark blue eyes.

"The universe is so wonderful, there are many things that cannot be explained by common sense. Ethan, someone in the black galaxy has put forward the hypothesis of soul transfer before. Imagine that when a person's body is aging, transfer his soul to a new body. Then he can survive in the new body... Later, a person learned of this idea, and it happened that his beloved was killed in an explosion, so he wanted to resurrect his beloved."

"I know." Sui Guangle said, "Not only that, I also know that the whimsical person is you."

Lagarde: ...

A rare expression of embarrassment appeared on the young man's handsome face, with the helplessness of being caught.

Whether it is the person who proposed the idea before or the person who actually implemented it later, it is Lagarde.

"...Is it for me?" Sui Guangle whispered.

Lagarde didn't speak, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shy after being exposed in a disguised confession?Sui Guangle decided not to dwell on this point: "Go on."

"At first, I just thought of transferring the soul between the bodies. Later, I thought, is the carrier of the soul other than the human body, could it be something else, such as a robot? Starry sky bluestone? Virtual network?"

"Artificial Intelligence." Sui Guangle said.

Lagarde on the screen nodded: "It turned out that this method works."

What did you use to prove it?

yourself?

Those two sentences were almost blurted out, but they were firmly pressed under the tongue, Sui Guangle looked at the young man in front of him without blinking, his gentle face was the same as when he was first seen, and he had never seen him from the beginning to the end real body.

Sui Guangle closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and even his tone of voice changed slightly: "...have you become Garuda's artificial intelligence?"

"Ethan, you can treat me as living in a different way." Lagarde said softly.

He turned himself into the intelligence of a mech, and abandoned his human body.Sui Guangle pursed her lips, and said in a harsh voice, "I thought Garuda should have been turned into pieces."

"But his core has not been destroyed, Ethan, I never told you that Garuda's core is made of starry sky blue stone."

"Haven't you thought about what to do if you fail?"

"But I succeeded, Ethan...you also came to me."

Sui Guangle thought that she did not appear because of some soul transfer, but because 998 happened to choose this world for herself, so strictly speaking, Lagarde should be regarded as a failure.

But seeing the hidden joy in Lagarde's eyes, she still didn't say a word in the end.

This body was no longer Ethan's previous body, but Lagarde still recognized him without hindrance.It was as if he was deliberately waiting.

"Because, I have seen this body before."

Sui Guangle:! ! !

His eyes were round because he was too surprised, making Lagarde laugh: "The second soul transfer, should it be this?"

Lagarde lazily explained to him that the two babies of the Gresco family who were born at the same time were taken to the Tower of Stars, and someone came forward to transfer their souls, and the souls of the successors entered the body of Louis who stayed on the egret star , and the soul of the illegitimate child remained in Allen's body and was brought back to the Gresco family.The former was fragile because of the genes of the illegitimate child, while the latter fell into a deep sleep because the soul did not adapt.

Unexpectedly, this time when he saw the body belonging to the heir come back, he turned back into Ethan.

Sui Guangle: ...

He estimated that Louis' soul should have entered this body, but he came directly and became Louis.

No wonder they all said that he was very similar to Louis. According to this setting, he was originally Louis!

998: "Hidden plot! Congratulations, Lele, the plot of the second transfer has appeared! This time your hidden score is not usually high!"

Sui Guangle: ...how about explaining whether he is Ethan or Louis now.

"I heard that Garuda was repaired by Louis?"

"Yes, I guided him to complete it at the time." Lagarde thought for a while, and said, "It can also be counted as me guiding you to complete it, but you lost your memory before?"

Sui Guangle: ...

"Thank you, that Luis likes a psychopath named Garcia! What gene synthesis are you tossing about...I've been tossed enough!"

Letting go of the burden on her heart, she spoke with Guangle and unconsciously complained a little. Listening like this, it made Lagarde feel novel.

"You even gave Shiva to him, it's so lethal, killing people!"

"You can't control it?" Lagarde smiled.

Sui Guangle:? ? ?

"Before my experiment was successful, just in case, I made a setting. If I meet you, Shiva will be controlled in reverse."

No wonder it was so easy every time, it turned out to be the reason.

Sui Guangle didn't know what to say for a while, what if he couldn't meet him?

But looking at what Lagarde looks like now, perhaps she has never considered this possibility.

Sui Guangle whispered: "I have a headache... There is a fight down here."

"Federation people? It's like this every time."

Sui Guangle:! ! !

"They always come up with something, nothing more than wanting the Tower of Stars." Lagarde said, "Some things have often happened for thousands of years, and they don't know how to restrain themselves."

Sui Guangle: ...

"Garcia...you are so young and energetic, you should have suffered a bit earlier."

They intertwined their mental powers together, and Sui Guangle felt strangely that his vision had expanded to the limit.Looking down from the Tower of Stars, it seemed as if all the battles on the Egret Star came into view.

"The Federation's Fallen Experiment...was originally the genetic technology stolen from the Tower of Stars, but they used it as a humanoid weapon, and now they are using it in reverse to deal with Egret Star."

Sui Guangle: "Well, the one who stabbed me was a perisher who is good at fabricating dreams."

"Wei Zhi's genes were stolen back then, the Federation should have used his genes, otherwise it wouldn't be so strong."

"Wei Zhi?"

"The Duke Iris of our generation has almost as much mental power as you."

Sui Guangle: ... This rhythm is against the sky.

He suddenly found that Lagarde seemed to lack interest in the outside world, and he couldn't even arouse any interest. Now that it was like this on Egret, Lagarde was still lazy.

"It will come out every few hundred years. I'm just a mecha... intelligence, why should I care about this kind of thing? Let them worry about it themselves."

Sui Guangle: ...Hey, hey, is this really okay!

Lagarde looked at him, and finally sighed: "Ethan, you are still soaking in the training cabin, do you want me to take you to fight like this?"

"I forgot." Sui Guangle said embarrassingly.

The two of them stayed leisurely on the top floor of the Tower of Stars, doing nothing but watching the dispute outside the tower.Lagarde said that Garcia deserved what he did, and he would not help Garcia clean up the mess.

Sui Guangle felt that, to some extent, this might be a revenge for himself, although the method was relatively negative.

In fact, he wants to go out and blast those perishers into scum. He has always fought against Lagarde before, and he has never teamed up with the other party.

Perhaps seeing his thoughts, Lagarde finally shook his head helplessly, and fixed his whole body in the training cabin.

Garuda turned over and jumped out of the Tower of Stars.

The people who were fighting only saw a flash at the top of the Tower of Stars, followed by a golden bird jumping down from the tower.

The golden mecha shone brighter than stars in the night sky, appearing on the battlefield like a whirlwind.

People from both the Federation and the Black Galaxy were shocked to the extreme, and Garuda's appearance exceeded everyone's expectations.The mecha that had disappeared thousands of years ago and blew itself up on Egret Star, unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone at this moment?

The mecha let out a cry, and then quickly joined the battle.

Everyone in the Federation was caught off guard, so that they suffered a big loss.They originally considered that Garcia's mecha in the Black Galaxy was an SSS-level Shiva, so they specially dispatched an SSS-level mecha to fight against it, but they didn't know that another one appeared at this moment!

And Garcia in Shiva was shocked to the extreme when he saw the appearance of the mech, because he was so excited that his mind went blank.

"Shiva requests access," Lagarde said casually.

"Oh, pinch off."

Lagarde completed this instruction very quickly, and Sui Guangle felt that Lagarde should have made a decision before she made a sound.

However, Shiva was still begging again and again, and his persistent attitude made Sui Guangle... finally connected once.

"Louis! Are you back!" Just after connecting, I heard Garcia's impatient voice.Garcia's body appeared on the big screen, emaciated from the difficult circumstances he had been facing.

"I'm not Louis." Sui Guangle sighed, he didn't know how many times he had stated it.

But according to the original setting of this world, he is Louis... Who told him to suddenly meet Lagarde and disrupt all the settings?

Garcia obviously didn't believe him, and hurriedly said: "Louis, don't deny it, so your soul has been transferred into this body? I know that you are manipulating Garuda now, and only Louis has been doing it for thousands of years. I've been there... What are you denying!"

"There was another one thousands of years ago." The boy said lazily.

Garcia choked, shook his head suddenly, and said, "Stop joking, Luis, I was wrong for not recognizing you. Now is not the time to throw a tantrum... There is no one else."

Garcia suddenly stopped, panting quickly, and suddenly remembered some things that happened before, so that his face turned livid.

Sui Guangle looked at Garcia and suddenly raised her eyebrows.Now in Garuda, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can interfere with him.

"I made it very clear in the hall." Sui Guangle said, "I said I am Ethan, have you forgotten?"

Ignoring Garcia's expression, Sui Guangle simply cut off the connection between the two.

Head hurts again.

The physical pain was relieved, but the mental burn intensified. Even Sui Guangle clenched the Brady gun in his hand, but it didn't improve.

The two men's mental powers are completely integrated at this moment, how could Lagarde not feel it in Sui Guangle's state?He only noticed that the boy was enduring the pain and didn't want to disturb him, but the control of the mecha had been completely let go to him.

Lagarde covered Sui Guangle's mental state with her spiritual power. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as her spirit deepened, her heart gradually sank.

The poison used by the perishing ones acts on the body and coagulates the blood of a person.However, if it suffers a mutation, it will burn people's souls.

——It is exactly used when transferring souls and burning people's souls.

Lagarde was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He was about to return to the Tower of Stars with Garuda, but suddenly found a violent vibration under the tower.

The white light produced by the explosion was enough to burn everyone's eyes, and only Lagarde could see it through the mecha system.The federation didn't know what method it used, but the tower that exploded appeared to be separated.

Sensing Lagarde's mental tension, Sui Guangle asked in a low voice.

"The Tower of Stars is only the part above the third floor, and it was forcibly fixed there, Ethan. Originally, it only drifted in the universe and was seen by people with predestined relationship."

"Then it was forcibly fixed on the Egret by you, a bandit."

Lagarde: ...

He frowned: "The Federation didn't know how to find a way to blow up the Tower of Stars."

Sui Guangle: "I think you've taken it off."

Lagarde: ...

They didn't even think that the Federation would think of a way to blow up the Tower of Stars. After all, this tower existed on Egret for thousands of years, and many people thought it had always existed here.However, such an action by the Federation further shows that they are bound to win the Tower of Stars, which is unforgivable by Lagarde.

The Tower of Stars, which lost its base, drifted in the air, as if it was not affected by gravity, it quickly floated towards the sky.Lagarde suddenly controlled Garuda and flew towards the Tower of Stars.

However, violent artillery fire suddenly appeared in mid-air, concentrated on this route, and the energy of the shield dropped rapidly. When he rushed into the tower, the energy was almost exhausted.

Sui Guangle realized that at this moment they were flying towards space at high speed with the Tower of Stars.

Lagarde looked at the people of the Federation below, and said calmly: "They think too simply, without the starry sky blue stone, everything is useless. The Tower of Stars will reject them."

And there is no starry blue stone——

Lagarde suddenly sighed in her heart, with vague melancholy.We just met, are we going to separate?

He greedily looked at the young man's face, wishing to engrave him completely in his heart.Even if it is no longer that familiar face.

Sui Guangle accidentally saw his eyes and was shocked.

"Where's the core of Garuda?" Sui Guangle whispered.

"Ethan, what do you want that for?"

"I want to take a look. I have never seen a real starry sky blue stone."

Lagarde sighed helplessly, and a stone the size of a little finger appeared in Sui Guangle's hand.He looked at the small blue stone in front of him. The dark blue starry sky blue stone was very clear and seemed to reflect the stars.Sui Guangle suddenly raised the stone in his hand, his heart moved at will, and the next moment, the bulkhead of Garuda became completely transparent.

The Tower of Stars has been completely integrated into the space, and outside the transparent mecha, there is a boundless starry sky, the night is dark blue, and the stars are dotted.After turning off the gravity system, it seems to be drifting in the galaxy.

Sui Guangle took a breath: "Is the starry blue stone a necessary condition for the success of all experiments?"

"Yes... Ethan, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Sui Guangle stared at the small blue stone in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "Your energy won't last long, right—don't lie to me, Lagarde, you know the consequences of lying to me."

Lagarde's face turned pale, such a tragic and irreversible consequence still lingers in her heart when she thinks about it.Thousands of thoughts went through his mind, and he wanted to say what he had already thought about, but finally he compromised and said: "...One thing, the energy in Garuda has been insufficient."

Confined himself in the Garuda, endured thousands of years of loneliness and loneliness, until the young Louis appeared, and repaired only the core of the mecha.

Sui Guangle sneered suddenly: "You know what I'm talking about, it's not Garuda—it's the starry sky blue stone!"

Lagarde looked at him with cold and stern eyes, so strange, as if returning to the Egret Star many years ago.The older youth sighed, his eyes tired and painful: "If you don't fix it, you will die, Ethan."

"Then what about you after the energy is exhausted?" Sui Guangle said softly, "Why is this starry sky blue stone getting darker, and is its power being consumed?"

Lagarde didn't answer.After a long time, he said nonchalantly, "Ethan, you read it wrong. You just said that it was the first time you saw the starry sky blue stone."

How can I get it wrong?

Sui Guangle smiled softly: "Do you know how I recognized you?" Without waiting for Lagarde to reply, he said again: "When I first saw Garuda, I thought it was Garuda Luo's rudimentary intelligence, until I saw its eyes."

The spiritual force that communicated in my mind was shaken.

"Lagarde, Garuda's eyes are the starry blue stone, right?" He said softly, dropping the bomb.

What did the perishing man use, and why did his mental damage not stop after his physical injuries were gradually repaired?The burning of the soul was later calmed down. Is it Lagarde who is using his star blue stone to repair him?

He didn't know the reason for all this, but he knew that the situation where he got up at this moment was precisely because of the weakened Lagarde.

And he even wanted to hide his weakness.

"You will die." There was a slight moisture in the boy's eyes.

"Everyone dies... Ethan, I will never see you die before my eyes again."

It seemed that the starry sky blue stone was speaking, and the dark blue stone danced lightly in his palm, like a shrinking heart in a human body.

"So you are going to die in front of me?" Sui Guangle said.He suddenly raised the corners of his lips, as if thinking of something, his pupils were frighteningly bright.

Lagarde had a vague premonition in his heart, but he could only watch helplessly as Ethan clenched the stone in his hand tighter and tighter, until his palm was oozing with blood.

"I'm still in this training cabin." Sui Guangle said, "This is even better than when I was doing genetic modification."

Lagarde didn't answer.

"Is it used for soul transfer?" He stared at Lagarde closely, not letting go of any change in his expression.

Lagarde sighed: "Ethan, sometimes, you don't have to be so smart."

Sui Guangle chuckled, it was easy to guess.The culture fluid needed for gene correction is almost the highest known, and apart from gene correction, only the culture fluid needed for soul transfer will be stronger than that.

Lagarde used this for him from the very beginning, it was clearly a sledgehammer.

He looked at the blue stone in his hand, and easily severed the connection between Lagarde and himself.Yes, Lagarde's spiritual power may be stronger than him, but under the ebb and flow, the opponent's spiritual power becomes his strength, and Sui Guangle can suppress him instead.

The blue light in the eyes gradually disappeared, as if all the energy had been sucked away from the brightest gemstone, and it was so dim that it would be shattered into powder in a second.

The blue stone was beating slightly, and Lagarde's restless voice was completely uncontrollable.Ethan's power poured back into his body, quickly replenishing his consumption, and his life - like a candle in the wind, the weak flame could be extinguished at any time.

"Ethan, what are you doing!!!" Lagarde snapped.He wanted to resist Ethan's control, but found himself completely bound in the starry sky blue stone.

"Everyone says that I am the successor of the Tower of Stars, so if I want to do something here, I will definitely succeed."

"You did this many years ago, and now it's finally my turn... Lagarde, think of me as living in another way." The young man said softly, pressing his hand on his heart hard.

The slightly warm starry sky blue stone pierced the skin on the chest due to its long-term contact with the human body, and was immediately submerged in hotter and warmer liquid.The bright red blood gushed out instantly, covering the brilliant blue light in the blue stone.

The beautiful blue stone was completely pressed into the boy's heart, and in an instant, it was completely wrapped by the warm atrium.

"Support my heartbeat with your soul."
