Chapter 26

  In the black dream

  That summer of the thirty-seventh Constitution Calendar’ year sixty-five, the most wanted of the Federation, the party concerned judged as the first sequence event by the central computer-- uncle Fengyu became the flying ash under the strike of the West Forest military region Antique Bell. At the same night, his apprentice, his little lackey Sheilor, in the company of a thunderstorm, accompanied with a sound of pain, replaced the chip in the metal bracelet, which was on his wrist, to his nape.

  From that moment on, the East Forest orphan Sheilor died, and the Upper Forest discharged young soldier Sheilor was born.

  No one knew in this world, just right at that moment when Sheilor replaced the chip, in the distant Capital planet of the Capital Planet Circle, the core area under the incomparably deep ground of the Charter Bureau on the suburb of the Capital District, that federal central computer once had the following response．

  “Citizen Number: 420500481 information node disappeared, name: Sheilor, note: federal 4427 plan target 2, death confirmed.”

  “Warning: this is the extension of the first sequence event.”

  “Serious warning: thirty percent possibility, citizen Sheilor entered into abnormal situation, serial number 72, citizen Sheilor entered into abnormal situation, serial number 72.”

  “Reply: independent search, if found it, establish the initiative contact, if target refuses, then establish the observation system, submit a report to the government for reference.”

  “Abnormal situation processing program one, over. Processing program one begin to restart.”

  Although the federal central computer had just judged the East Forest orphan Sheilor originally, had thirty percent possibility entered into the abnormal situation, but the little porter of the Coastal state Sheilor had the information overlapping with the former, the possibility entered into the abnormal situation was even lower. But this central computer still silently and faithfully implemented the program, through the spread all over countless galaxies the vast network, kept trying to position that had already been damage information node again, and kept trying to establish the initiative contact mode with the other party.

  In the records of the central computer, there were totally 72 abnormal situations or suspected abnormal situations in history, all these situations belonged to the first sequence events. In the operation priority level of the central computer, all belonged to the absolute priority.

  The splendor of the First Charter tried to spare a little bit, got close to that existed in this world like dust Sheilor. Therefore, those white light character words, began to repeat and repeat constantly, appeared in that having the dark background space, appeared in front of his eyes… but it didn’t get any response, because he couldn’t make any response.

  “Establishing the initiative contact. Whether to accept?”

  Didn’t know after how long, in that room which was very deep under the ground of the Charter Bureau building, on the lower place of that 2-D display screen, appeared a line of fine light characters.

  “The establishment of the initiative contact failed. Determine whether the other party refused.”

  Fell into the coma and dream Sheilor, didn’t know that he had already had some kind of contact, with the most advanced technological civilization of the human society. In the dream, he just gazed at that kept disappearing and congealing light characters in front of his eyes. And then he found out that line of light characters disappeared, in an instant, a kind of called lost emotion, began to spread in this space unexpectedly.

  The light character disappeared, in fact, it’s exactly the central computer judged that the other party didn’t accept the initiative contact, and began to active the next step program. If it judged that Sheilor refused the initiative contact, according to the abnormal situation handling procedure one, the central computer would establish the observation system. At the same time in the shortest time, it would generate a report, and hand the report to the federal government for reference.

  Beyond all question, if the Charter Bureau really had the detailed report about Sheilor, it must would cause a lot of people to doubt. The past history about this disguise identity, all would be dug out. In front of the pervasive state apparatus of the Federation, Sheilor couldn’t play the demobilized soldier perfectly. The real identity of the federal fugitive, would be exposed in the broad daylight, and he would face the severe blow as the subsequent parties concerned of the first sequence event.

  This moment, was the key moment for Sheilor since he escaped. The most dangerous moment, perhaps would be in the next second. The still in the black dream him, would face the ubiquitous hunting and killing, and it was just like the way uncle Fengyu face in those years.

  The program of the central computer had a slight stagnancy for a moment at this moment, and then it gave a most logical judgment which it considered.

  “Negative.”

  “Begin to start the second type of contact.”

  In the coma Sheilor, his nerve of the cerebral cortex didn’t have any abnormal change, the chip behind his nape was judged damaged. And the central computer seemed can by some kind of means, through the chip to sense the change of his brain wave, thus it could confirm Sheilor didn’t refuse its suggestion of the initiative contact. But… for some reasons, the other party couldn’t have the response.

  At this time, the central computer judged the target which it kept searching for constantly, was in a complete loss state, and it’s also the common vegetable this word in the human society.

  The incomparably advanced wisdom crystallization of the human technology, the extremely developed monitoring way, and the unparalleled mechanical program stretch, finally let this central computer make a mechanical and ridiculous, but also most likely close to the truth judgment.

  Had to say, Sheilor’s luck played the most vital role at this moment. And along with the activation of the central computer second type contact program, the more wonderful thing, began to happen on his body.

  The countless pictures, began to infuse to his brain through the chip. Although those pictures would have the distortions time to time, and occasionally would be interrupted, but they still kept infusing unshakably, and kept flashing in front of his eyes.

  What’s the second type contact?

  Nobody knew.

  Sheilor was in the black dream, and he couldn’t wake up, he could only watch the endless dark, the black represented the nothingness, represented the death, and represented the nothing. And then he saw a picture, a wearing the white pajamas young lady in the picture, holding a baby in her arms, the young lady had the indubitable concern and love on her face, it seemed that she just wanted to put all his life, on the baby in her arms.

  This is the most cherished mother and child affection of the human beings.

  Sheilor is an orphan, he lost his parents and his younger sister at an early age, he missed them. But it must be admitted that, the faces of the family members had already been long vague in his mind. He looked at that pair of mother and son on the picture, felt the slight envy, but he didn’t have the reaction too strongly.

  That unknown existence, seemed to sense this point, then the second picture was presented in his eyes. That was a group of children running and playing the football on the grass, it represented the young people and the friendship.

  Sheilor didn’t have too many friends, he cherished this, but he didn’t have to much reaction.

  In the black dream, those strange pictures were getting more and more, the appearing speed was getting faster and faster. They were full of the whole space, on those pictures had the most spectacular snow mountain of the West Forest planet, the very magnificent red rock of the Upper Forest desert, the dense like stars beautiful lakes on the suburb of Philadelphia, but the most were the let people have the fear and pure feeling endless starry sky. Those existed in the universe for countless billions years stars, seemed that they would exist forever like this
.

  In the black dream, it appeared that layer of man-made faint red dust over the East Forest planet, and appeared those visible open pits under the dust. Those pits once had made the great contribution to the human civilization, now they just lay quietly in the green grassland, and looked like the gunshot wounds traces of the planet, had a share of soul-stirring beauty.

  Sheilor felt that it’s very familiar with, he felt sour in the heart, but he also had the inimical emotion subconsciously. Along with his emotion, he had the subtle reaction in the cerebral cortex, then the picture changed again in the black dream, it changed to the rare cars, changed to the various delicacies, changed to the emitting small bubbles champagne, changed to the sweet feeling in the amber color spirits…

  Countless radiant and enchanting colors appeared in the black dream, those are the women. All kinds of women, wearing the student uniform, having the canine teeth and long ponytail female students, wearing the dress and walking slowly ladies, dressing in the tennis skirts and spreading the youth breath girls…

  The mature, sentimental, bright and beautiful, shy, sunshine, tender, wearing the clothes, half-naked, stark-naked, stark-naked and posting the attracting posture… women walked gently and came towards him along with those bright pictures.

  The pictures in the black dream included all those aspects which human take as the most significant and desired things, but that still couldn’t let the muddleheaded Sheilor have the too strong reaction.

  The rapid influx of the picture data flow, let the whole black dream space begin to be somewhat not so stable, and the countless invisible cracks appeared to be tearing something, Sheilor couldn’t feel his body, but he could feel the unbearable pain, he wanted to cry, wanted to shout, but he didn’t have tears, and couldn’t shout a sound out.

  In the black dream, the kept flashing pictures foiled the loneliness of the consciousness more, and besides the loneliness, he still needed to endure such pain. The space was in expansion, it seemed to explode at any time… if not for the consciousness which Sheilor existed in the dream, was as strong and tough as him this person, perhaps he would have gone crazy.

  He must thought of something, grasped something. Just at this time, those flashed rapidly pictures, appeared a chip board, the micro welding spots floated the light shine in the black background.

  The thought had the move, then the change of the pictures became slower.

  Various tools without the shells, those familiar and accompanied with him for many years household appliances, those bare circuit boards, those hard metallic supports, those drawings, and those precise equipments in the operating room, all were revealed in the black space with the picture way.

  He stared at a drawing and looked at it carefully, that kind of come from nowhere pain feeling finally relieved a bit, and he felt those lines and frames on the drawing were very familiar.

  That’s the M52, the black M52, it’s that military mecha broke the wall and came out in the underground parking lot of the gymnasium!

  The thought just had a move, countless internal structure drawings of the mecha flew towards him like the snowflakes from the periphery of the black space, flew into his eyes, flew into his brain, and it seemed that they were glad to find out a thing which could let him dedicated.

  Some drawings he had already seen before, but most of them he never saw them. Those lines and design ideas are so novel, and those designs of the control system were so… beautiful.

  Sheilor gazed at all of these in front of him blankly, gradually he thought of something, but also began greedily to look at those pictures, however, the change of the pictures became quicker and quicker, it’s so quick that he could see clearly at all. But the wonderful thing was, these came into the black dream pictures, seemed to exist in his mind…

  The influx speed of the picture became faster and faster, the space of the black dream couldn’t support it any more, and broke into countless fragments. That kind of severe pain came back to Sheilor’s mind, along with a humming sound, then he fainted over, he blacked out in the dream.

  But he woke up in the reality.

  The black dream was broken, the white light came down to the human life, he narrowed his eyes to look at the light sunshine coming in through the window, saw that dressing in the white gauze skirt girl, and saw that share of purple. Then he thought of what happened before he fell into coma, but he judged whether he was still in the dream subconsciously.

  If he was not in the dream, then how could he possible see this share of purple.
