Lorraine drank Deep Blue Green and fell asleep. She woke up another day to find out that last night she called Qian Xu for hundred dials. Even though, Qian Xu didn't answer any.
For five days that Lorraine puked out and started to get used to the training. In the morning was tiresome strength trainings, in the afternoon was multi survival skills training; shooting, spacecraft driving, hiding, stalk-escaped, and others.
Su Er was a mutant who teaches shooting. His eyes compounded of six thousand lenses. He claimed that the commander and the director general of the Supreme Court was his student and both shooting skill was better than him.
In the afternoon at the shooting training room
Su Er was explaining the advantages and weak point of each firearm to Lorraine: "Always remember that there is no best weapon, only the best choice in different situations. Chose right and you will survive, chose wrong then you die..."
With a bang, the door suddenly opened. Consul was standing in the doorway.
He wore black hooded robe as before, with a silver mask and the whole body was completely covered from head to toe, nothing was seen. However, there was a slight bit of impatient passed through, no calmness and relaxed as before.
Su Er stunned for a moment then stood straight and saluting with both his legs closed together: "Consul."
Lorraine also came to a response and put down the guns that were being assembled. She stood up with tangled hand and legs then hurriedly made a curtsey.
Consul glanced at Lorraine and said to Su Er, "I'm looking for Chen Sha."
"The commander is not here."
"You guys continue." Consul turned around and left.
Lorraine and Su Er looked at each other.
Lorraine tried asking, "Is there blood on Consul's boots?"
Su Er said with certainty: "It's blood. Perhaps he had gone out for a mission and just came back in a hurry, didn't have time to change his boots."
Lorraine suddenly recalled when she first came to Alicata, she saw Consul once in the video.
He wore a black combat uniform and cut a sharp-toothed bird's chest open while waving his hands, let the whole world splashed in blood and flesh.
Lorraine asked Su Er: "You have met the old Consul..."
"Old Consul?" Su Er's whole face was in surprise, "Consul was appointed as Consul in his forties. He was the youngest Consul in federal history. Where is he old?"
Lorraine embarrassedly said: "I heard Bai Li Chang called Consul like that. They seemed to be a little afraid of Consul. So I thought...Have you seen Consul without a mask before he became ill?"
"I had seen."
Lorraine asked curiously: "How does he look like?"
Su Er's straightforward face showed a trace of fear: "When Consul was a general, he was well-known of his good looking and also was well-known of his ruthless and cold-blooded. You guys think that he's very cold and humanless right now, but I think that he is more human when after he put on the mask."
Lorraine didn't believe it: "A forever expressionless masked face is considered being more human? How did he grow up to look like?"
"World's high-end. Angel's face. Devil's heart. Beast's body!"
Lorraine burst out laughing, rocking back and forth, kept slapping the table.
Su Er awkwardly said: "I didn't say it. It was the former Duchess, Chen Sha's mother said."
Lorraine's gossip spirit was immediately set on fire. She felt that a woman who could say such thing was also a world's high-end. She fluttered her sparkling big eyes with a look of 'keep talking, don't stop'.
"After the Battle of Morgana, the lady commented that General Nan Zhao did not regard the enemy as a human being, nor did he regards himself as a human being; cruel to the enemy, leaving no bones, leaving no life. He was even crueler to himself, peel off the skin and pluck out the tendon, break the bones and suck the marrow. The lady sighed; she didn't know what happened to him when he was a slave. At a young age..."
Su Er realized that he had slipped too many words and hastily shut up.
Lorraine asked in surprise: "Slave? Consul was a slave? How could it be?"
Su Er hesitated a little and said, "Consul was not born in the Odin Federation, just like you. He was a slave bought by Professor An when he traveled to other planets. He was only sixteen years old and had not grown up yet, but maybe because he is a mutant, he suffered from abuse. I heard that at the time he was bought, he was covered all over with cuts and bruises at his last gasp, not easy to bring him back to life."
Lorraine fell into entranced. The young man came to a completely strange world alone. Wouldn't he be as lonely and helplessly as she was back then? Also nervous and had to be cautious too?
"And after?"
He refused to talk any more. Didn't know what came to his mind, he sighed sadly then picked up a gun and signaled Lorraine to continue the class.
After the firearm class was over, until Lorraine walked out of the shooting training room that she found that Qian Xu had finally contacted her.
During her training and class, she would shut down the communication signal according to the requirements. She did not expect to miss Qian Xu's call.
Lorraine didn't even consider changing her training suit and called back immediately.
Quite a while, Qian Xu accepted the call invitation.
Lorraine asked eagerly: "You called me. Have you looked for me? What's up?"
"Nothing, I just saw you contacted me many times and thought you were in trouble."
Lorraine was extremely ashamed: "I'm fine. That day, I was drunk after drinking Deep Blue Green. You... why did you just replying to me now?"
She held her breath waiting for the answer.
Qian Xu's voice unhurriedly came from the personal terminal: "Anna suggested me to receive a restricted psychotherapy, and the personal terminal was turned off."
Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief and knocked her forehead. Next time, she should not let her imagination run wild anymore. Heartbroken for half day, but in the end the reason was so simple.
Lorraine smiled and said, "After a while, wait for me to return to Alicata, I have a surprise for you."
"OK."
Lorraine found that Qian Xu was not as cold as before. It seems that the psychotherapy suggested by Anna paid some result. She decided that when she went back, she would give Anna a big gift.
Two people chatted for a while until Lorraine reluctantly ended the call.
