Not Cold [Interstellar] - Chapter 42
Ke Wei recalled that before asking this question, the Pope was still talking to him about the transfer of the commander of the Second Legion. When the pope mentioned Zhong Yue at this time, he probably just wanted to hear Ke Wei’s evaluation of Zhong Yue’s personal abilities.
After all, his personal relationship with Zhong Yue is too concealed. In theory, the Pope should have no way of knowing it.
“Zhong Yue…?”
Ke Wei, who is in the Central Holy See, seems to be trying to think back, with a bit of just the right blankness on his face. His voice sounds natural and ordinary: “When I followed the Second Army, I saw him commanding troops to fight. He is one. A very appealing and infectious general.”
Ke Wei upholds the principle of saying too many mistakes and saying less to ensure safety, and picks a smooth answer.
Unexpectedly, the pope glanced at him, but said: “Go on.”
“…His sergeants believe him, and are not panicked even in complete adversity, facing a huge disparity in military strength, his team can still maintain a high morale, with thousands of warships, against nearly 100,000 Zerg.”
At the request of the Pope, Ke Wei continued cautiously: “Winning with less is enough to see his level of use of troops. In this kind of crisis, he can also separate out and rescue his teammates. It is really a very powerful man. General.”
The Pope was very shrewd. Since he had asked Ke Wei about Zhong Yue, he must have done an investigation on Zhong Yue and had a certain understanding. Ke Wei’s answer should not be too stroked, if it falls below his usual level, it will show clues instead.
The pope thoughtfully: “In the army, it seems you did learn something.”
Ke Wei bowed his head and replied, “I really felt very emotional when I saw the **** figure of the Imperial Sergeant fighting on the front line.”
“Suddenly, it feels good to be young.” The pope sighed: “I have lived too long, I don’t remember, when was the last time I was so excited.”
“You are in the prime of life, don’t say such things.”
Although the pope is more than three hundred years old, his cells have been renewed after genetic surgery, and his appearance is still in his early thirties. He is a descendant of the Jewish descent on the ancient earth, with a pale skin and deep eye sockets. Judging from only his appearance, no one would question his handsome beauty.
But his eyes can tell his age-wise, calm, calm and calm. His aura is gentle and strong, but he is not arrogant. This kind of precipitation takes a long time to accumulate.
The Pope said: “This time the Second Army’s turnaround in adversity has attracted much attention. This Zhong Yue will soon become a hot upstart. Tomorrow morning, the Military Ministry will hold a media conference. At that time, there will be reports on Zhong Yue. , It will spread out overwhelmingly.”
Ke Wei bowed his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully, but he actually thought about the meaning behind every word of the Pope.
“The people have just learned that the border galaxy has fallen, and they are still in panic. They need a powerful heart-saving agent, and General Zhong Yue is here.” The pope said casually: “Our country will soon have a young man. A promising military hero, a national savior.”
“And you, and I, don’t have to do anything.” The pope walked around the window, and the view of the Central Holy See was seen in full view by him: “We stood on the cusp of the times again, and Zhong Yue seized this opportunity. The businessman, you don’t need any of us to take action, he has already arranged it.”
Ke Wei looked up suddenly, but only saw the pope from behind.
“Ambitious, prestigious, and true capable generals who can fight.” The pope faced him, shaking his head, and said softly: “Interesting, I haven’t seen such a person in a long time.”
Ke Wei remained silent and did not answer the conversation.
He knew in his heart that Zhong Yue had always had his own intelligence and public relations network. What’s more, on this timeline, Zhong Yue was reborn two years ago, it is impossible to be unprepared.
What he wants to know the most now is how many details about Zhong Yue have been found out by the Pope?
“Ambitious? How do you say this.” Ke Wei asked with a smile: “At his age, becoming the commander of the Second Army really has a boundless future.”
The pope looked at Ke Wei with a smile but a smile: “You really don’t know?”
Ke Wei shook his heart.
A question about the Pope became stronger than ever in Ke Wei’s heart-does he also have memories on another timeline?
He felt that this possibility was not great. If the Pope had memory, he and Zhong Yue would definitely not be treated like this calmly now.
But the Pope’s mind was unpredictable, even Ke Wei did not dare to say that he really knew what he was thinking.
The pope didn’t give him too much time to think, and patted Ke Wei’s face: “I just said that, at this stage, we don’t need to do anything.”
“Leap out of the frame, break the routine to think, go back and think for yourself.”
Ke Wei was thinking about the Pope’s intentions. When he heard this, he didn’t react a little: “Go back…where?”
“You won’t go back to school?” The Pope said meaningfully: “It’s been a month since school, so you are not in a hurry?”
Ke Wei smiled embarrassedly.
“After studying at the military academy, go to the army for a few years, my Bishop Tans.”
The Pope had already intended to send off guests, and Ke Wei did not want to stay too much either.
Every minute of being with the Pope made him nervous and anxious. He wanted to go back, find Zhong Yue, and discuss the next countermeasures with him.
“By the way, Ke Wei.”
When Ke Wei left and was about to leave the room, the pope stopped him.
“Pope.” Ke Wei looked at him calmly and asked politely: “Anything else?”
The pope unexpectedly said: “I know about Jin Ran.”
Ke Wei was silent in an instant. He stood by the door silently and silently like a sculpture.
“I know he is very important to you, but I hope you won’t be too sad.”
The pope’s voice sounded cold and gentle behind Ke Wei: “I also understand Jin Ran’s temperament. He disappeared into an unknown realm and went to a space that we can’t understand. Such a destination is the end and the beginning, Jin Ran he It will not be sad.”
Ke Wei didn’t reply. He grasped the door so hard that the blood vessels came out. After a while, he pushed the door open without saying a word and left the highest hall of the Holy See.
At this time, Zhong Yue, who was young and full of ambition and strength, was a bit uncomfortable as a whole.
He didn’t know that his lover was talking about himself with his imaginary rival, he only knew that he had just got rid of a round of inquiries from the military department and received a thunderbolt from the subordinates of the Capital Star.
“Ke Wei is not in the government?” Just this sentence is enough to make Zhong Yue lose his composure: “The person who picked him up just now, check it out! I’ll go right now!”
His personal terminal rang.
Zhong Yue looked down abruptly and frowned when he saw the word “Jasmine”. He hesitated for a moment and ignored her communication request.
With his military jacket on his arm, Zhong Yue strode down the long steps of the military headquarters.
“General Zhong Yue…I heard that the Second Army had just encountered the Zerg, and experienced a fierce battle. The battleship was damaged more than half. Is this true?”
“Excuse me, Deputy Commander Zhong, Deputy Commander Wang Feng and Commander Zheng are still in the military headquarters? Why didn’t we see them?”
The sensitive media has been dispatched and rushed up from the hiding corner to surround Zhong Yue.
The sergeant around Zhong Yue immediately set up a cordon for him. Zhong Yue went to look for his wife in a hurry, and was too lazy to take care of them. He got on the spaceship with a stinky expression and left.
The Central Holy See flew out a small spacecraft, carrying Ke Wei away from the capital star.
The Imperial Higher Military Academy was established on the Academy Star, which is half an hour away from the Capital Star.
Academy Star, as the name suggests, this is a planet where colleges and universities gather. The public security is good, the atmosphere is good, and the academic atmosphere is strong.
The spacecraft moored and left, but Ke Wei stayed alone. He came to the school, but he didn’t even have a piece of luggage by his side.
The high-walled college in front of him is his alma mater. Now that he is back on campus, he has a sense of unreality as if he had passed away.
Ke Wei went to school in his previous life and started learning from scratch, so it naturally took a lot of time. But now he came again to complete the lessons he had already learned. Combined with his years of practical experience in the army, he already has the qualities to become an imperial soldier.
He also does not allow himself to waste too long on campus.
Students at school must study full-time. When he is studying, he is bound to be separated from Zhong Yue, who is in the army.
Ke Wei no longer wants to be separated from Zhong Yue for a long time, he needs to think of something.

He looked at the school gate for a while before going through the enrollment formalities.
I don’t know if it was the Pope or Zhong Yue who had already greeted him. He was one month late for enrollment, but he went through the formalities smoothly without encountering the slightest resistance.
When he got the key to the assigned student dormitory, it suddenly occurred to him that he should send a communication request to Zhong Yue to see how busy his work was.
Zhong Yue went around in his intelligence room: “Leave the government alone, you give me the direction of investigating the Pope! Ask the spies in the Central Holy See, and let me check today’s contacts…”
Zhong Yue’s personal terminal rang, and he picked it up without even looking, and said frantically, “Have you found anyone!?”
Ke Wei wondered: “…who is it looking for?”
Zhong Yue: “…”
The subordinates in the intelligence room watched his boss personally, within three seconds, every blown hair on his body returned to its original position.
“Ke Wei!” Zhong Yue frowned: “Where did you go? Where did the government take you?”
Ke Wei looked at the students around him, and said concisely: “I’m fine, let’s talk about it in detail.”
“Baby, where are you?”
Ke Wei adjusted his angle slightly, and Zhong Yue saw the building of the Imperial Higher Military Academy behind him.
Zhong Yue was silent for a moment before he said: “You ran to school by yourself? I didn’t mean I won’t stop you? You disappeared without saying a word. I thought you were kidnapped by the Pope, and I was too anxious. I almost went straight to grab someone.”
Unexpectedly, Ke Wei said, “You guessed it, I just came from him.”
Zhong Yue suddenly wanted to go to the Central Holy See to assassinate the Pope.
“But…” Ke Wei expressed his doubts at the right time: “You are so anxious, so you never thought of calling me? Just ask where I am, don’t you?
Zhong Yue: “…”
