Chapter 160 Dismissal from the Army
Finally, Shen Yiyi couldn't hold on any longer.
The absinthe she drank earlier and the liquor that followed finally made her drunk, even though she had a low alcohol tolerance to begin with.
In a trance, she seemed to see two people in generals' uniforms walking up to her.
Shen Yiyi mistakenly thought that they were Leng Kaihu and Takeda Changyi, and suddenly felt extremely wronged.
She hugged her knees and screamed loudly:
"Don't come over here! I don't want to leave here! If you come over here again, then...then I will scream!"
"Help! This is indecent assault!"
……
When Shen Yiyi struggled to get out of the chaos of hangover, she opened her eyes and found herself in a cold rectangular cell.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked around. Except for a heavy, cold iron door, there were indestructible composite walls all around.
She knocked hard, and the wall made a dull thud, and her head seemed to be splitting open, causing her to frown in pain.
After some struggle, Shen Yiyi finally figured out her situation - she was put in solitary confinement.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to recall everything that happened last night.
Drinking, fighting, and then...completely blacking out.
She rubbed the sore corners of her eyes and found that she seemed to have cried. She couldn't help but feel unwilling and helpless about the loss of memory.
Just like that, she sat there blankly, recalling the past, and time seemed to have stood still.
But at this moment, an inexplicable feeling of relief suddenly came over me.
She began to try to look at her experiences from a completely new perspective - traveling through time, becoming a soldier, doing things she didn't want to do, and even becoming a hero inexplicably.
These experiences can perhaps be seen as a gift from fate to her, just like what was said in the movie she watched in her previous life: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."
Thinking of this, Shen Yiyi's mood gradually calmed down.
She lay down on the ground, imagining herself on a vast prairie, with blue sky and white clouds, and a gentle breeze blowing on her face. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
She tried to cheer herself up and enjoy this rare peace.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
With a sharp creaking sound, the door of the cell was suddenly opened. An officer from the Military Court stood in the corridor and shouted to Shen Yiyi: "Staff Officer Shen, stand at attention! Please follow me."
Shen Yiyi got up from the ground with a start and followed the officer along the corridor. She complained as she walked:
"Why did you put me in solitary confinement? I was just drunk, and I have a good alcohol tolerance. The most I can do when I'm drunk is sleep."
Upon hearing this, the officer looked at her strangely and said slowly:
"Staff Officer Shen, you didn't just get drunk and fall asleep. You beat up your colleagues while drunk, causing twelve people to have their jaws fractured. You also injured the police who came to maintain public order. Even worse, you even openly accused the Gemini General of the Bureau of Secrets of molesting you... um... indecently. Tell me, should you be locked up for such behavior?"
When Shen Yiyi heard this, she was completely stunned.
Her eyes were so round that they almost popped out of their sockets.
She pointed at herself and said in disbelief: "Are you sure that the person you are talking about is me? I am a lady from a wealthy family after all, how could I do such a thing?"
The officer was amused by her words. He shook his head and said, "A lady from a noble family? I think you are more like a berserker. Okay, stop talking nonsense. I will take you to the military court for trial."
When Shen Yiyi heard the words "military court", her heart felt like being pricked by a needle and she shuddered violently.
Although she has lived two lives as a human being, words like court, courthouse, and judge are still far away from her.
At this moment, she could only follow the officer from the Military Court in a daze, walking step by step towards the room at the end of the corridor.
Inside the room, two judges from the military court sat there expressionlessly. In cold voices, they read out the verdict on Shen Yiyi.
Because the fight caused huge losses, not only did it hurt colleagues but it also implicated innocent civilians. Shen Yiyi was punished to the maximum extent.
However, considering her past contributions, the court also gave her a certain degree of protection and ultimately decided to offset her merits and demerits and expel her from the military.
Shen Yiyi stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
An inexplicable joy suddenly welled up in her heart - wasn't this what she had always dreamed of?
Isn't it the best outcome that we don't have to go behind enemy lines? She felt like she was hit on the head by a flood of wealth, and she almost jumped up in excitement.
She signed her name on the document without hesitation, put her fingerprint on it, and then skipped out of the door of the Military Court.
However, when she actually stepped out of the door, a feeling of confusion suddenly came over her.
The sun was very strong outside, and the glare made her feel dizzy.
The sound of the soldiers' uniformed drills reached her ears, but she felt out of place in all this.
She was no longer a soldier, so she couldn't live in the dormitory or go to the weapons design center.
She suddenly found herself lost and didn't know where to go.
She was worried that her family far away in Rikkai Castle in the central sea would be implicated and that their previous good treatment would be revoked.
These worries were like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Just then, a figure like a big cat came running from a distance and pounced on her.
It turned out to be Shen Teng! It had been guarding the door of the Military Court, and it seemed to have something urgent to tell Shen Yiyi.
Shen Teng dragged her in one direction with force, and Shen Yiyi staggered following it to a garden.
In the garden, two people were sitting on a bench - Dean Maria and General Takeda Nagayoshi.
Both of them are Shen Yiyi's teachers, but they have never had any intersection in their daily work and life.
At this moment, they were sitting together, which surprised Shen Yiyi very much.
She couldn't help but wonder: How could these two unrelated people get together? What were they discussing? Was it something related to her?
Shen Yiyi approached them with doubts in her heart, wanting to hear what was going on.
However, when she got closer, she found that their topic had turned to something else. She could only stand aside silently, feeling even more confused.
Dean Maria looked at the proud student in front of her, who was in tattered clothes and had a bloody face, and couldn't help but sigh, her tone full of heartache and helplessness:
"My child, how did you get yourself into this state? General Takeda Nagayoshi has already informed me of your situation. Don't worry, there is still a position of assistant researcher reserved for you at the Experimental Center. You can work there with peace of mind for the time being. As for the future, General Takeda will discuss it with you in detail."
