First Interstellar Guide

Chapter 9

After leaving the starship, Kane looked at his companions worriedly: "Did you hit them too hard just now? The Josephs will be dissatisfied with you again."

Kellogg said helplessly: "This is also the first time I have come into contact with a newly awakened guide. I didn't expect his mental picture to be so fragile."

Logically speaking, even a C-level guide shouldn't have a mental breakdown so quickly. Kellogg always felt that something was wrong, but judging from Yu Ran's performance, he really couldn't find any loopholes. The only explanation was that this young man's psychological endurance was weaker than that of an average guide, and he had just lost his parents, so he was easily swallowed by negative emotions.

"What should we do now?" Kane scratched his hair. "If Yu Ran is not a suspect, we can only close the case as an 'accidental fall from a building', right?"

Kellogg thought for a moment and made a decision: "That's it. Go back and write an investigation report and send it to the section chief."

At the same time, in the office of the Nort Mineral Company building, a young man in a white shirt was nervously opening the safe. Behind him, a middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and refined said impatiently: "Hurry up, take the things and leave quickly before the investigation department finds us!"

"Do you think Leonard's death was really an accident?" The man in the white shirt took out a box from the safe, opened it and saw a box full of neatly cut red crystals, shining brightly under the light.

All citizens and businesses in the federation have linked account chips, the electronic payment system is supervised by the central bank, and the flow of every sum of funds is clear.

Large amounts of cash, whether transferred to a company account or a personal account, are easily targeted by banks. However, if they are privately exchanged for hard currency such as "red crystal" on the black market, they are not only easy to carry, but also can escape the supervision of banks.

The man with glasses looked greedily at the box of precious red crystals and said coldly, "Leonard, that greedy guy, let him die. It can save us a lot of trouble! B73 base is no longer safe. Let's go back to the capital first." He took the box from the other party and said, "Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

The two left the building one after the other, took a small hovercraft, and quickly headed to the B73 planet space station.

Inside the Falcon starship, Yu Ran glanced at the time on the electronic clock on the wall and touched his chin thoughtfully—the interstellar passenger ship would take off at four in the afternoon. If nothing unexpected happened, some people would have to run for their lives, right

Yu Ran tidied up his clothes and went out to look for Joseph.

The boy, who had originally had a calm look, immediately changed his expression the moment he walked out of the door. He looked weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Joseph was chatting with More in the hall. When he saw Yu Ran, he hurried over with concern: "Ran Ran, how are you? Is your head still hurting?"

Yu Ran whispered, "I've had a good sleep and I feel much better. My mental state is very stable now. Thank you for helping me."

The Joseph smiled and rubbed his head. "Don't be polite, I'm glad you're okay. You just awakened and don't know the skills to control your mental power. When you go to the sanctuary, the teacher will teach you to build a mental barrier, and then you will know how to protect yourself."

Yu Ran nodded and said, "By the way, have the people from the Investigation Department left?"

The boy's face turned pale, as if he was thinking of the group of terrifying butterflies that invaded his spiritual world.

Morwen said, "Don't worry, they've left and the blockade of the base has been lifted."

Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Josephs: "Then can we set off for the capital planet?"

The Joseph looked at him worriedly, "Are we leaving now? Do you want to rest a little longer?"

Yu Ran shook his head: "No need to rest, I just had a good sleep and I feel much better now. Besides, if I stay on the starship, I will disturb the generals' work."

Familiar footsteps approached, and soon after, the low, pleasant voice of a young sentinel came to my ears: "It's not a bother. However, you really should report to the Guide Association as soon as possible. I will send two people to escort you to avoid any accidents on the road."

Yu Ran turned around and met Lu Zexuan's deep eyes.

The keen sentinel seemed to have lessened his suspicions about him. At least he didn't follow him personally this time.

The spaceship that the Josephs brought over had the wreath logo of the Guide Association on it, and no one dared to offend the Guide Association directly. But in order to prevent accidents, it was reasonable to send two strong sentinels to escort them.

Lu Zexuan turned around and said to his men, "You two protect Madam and Yu Ran, and escort them safely to the Guide Association."

"Yes, Captain!" Two tall sentinels immediately stood on the left and right beside the Josephs like guardians.

The Joseph did not reject Lu Zexuan's proposal and said with a smile: "Thank you, General."

"You're welcome."

Joseph changed the subject: "At least take a good look at the guide information I sent you. Maybe you will find one that suits your taste. Even if I am not in a hurry, your father is."

Lu Zexuan said helplessly: "... I will talk to my father, so you don't have to worry about it."

Moore was trying not to laugh. Yu Ran looked confused, as if he didn't understand what they were saying.

The Josephs took Yu Ran away from the Falcon starship and boarded the Guidance Association's spaceship.

She called Yu Ran to sit in the lounge, brought several plates of exquisite pastries, and said with a smile: "Eat something first, you must be hungry."

Yu Ran took a nap at noon to recover his energy. He did not have lunch, so he was a little hungry. He took the knife and fork without hesitation and started eating the cakes on the table.

Seeing the boy lowering his head and eating obediently, Joseph's eyes showed a trace of tenderness and kindness: "Eat more, don't be hungry. If it's not enough, there's more in the refrigerator."

Yu Ran always felt that she was treating him like a child, and a rare warmth rose in his heart.

She was still as protective of the young guides as before.

Yu Ran quickly finished the food on the plate.

At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Space Station B73 has arrived. All spacecraft are requested to land on the apron and undergo a safety inspection."

Yu Ran looked out the window curiously. The space station was a must-go place for every spacecraft. People needed to undergo security checks and board the plane in an orderly manner. Military spacecraft like the "Falcon Special Forces" that were on emergency missions could pass directly. The Guide Association was a non-governmental organization and did not have the power to skip the space station security check.

Not far to the front left, an interstellar passenger spaceship capable of accommodating thousands of people is docked there.

Two tall men in suits were carrying boxes and walking towards the VIP passage, accompanied by a number of sentinels and guards.

When Yu Ran saw them, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Joseph was looking out the window at this time: "What a coincidence, the passenger ship also took off at this time, are there so many people?"

Yu Ran explained, "We are too remote here. There is only one interstellar spaceship to the capital planet every month. There are so many people here today. It may be because the base was attacked. Everyone feels that it is not safe here and wants to go somewhere else to hide."

Joseph sighed and said, "That's right, it's really not safe here. Don't be afraid, just come with me to the capital planet."

Suddenly, Yu Ran seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd. He pointed at the person and said excitedly, "Kevin is over there too. Can I go say hello to him?"

Seeing Joseph's puzzled expression, Yu Ran quickly explained: "Kevin is my best friend who grew up with me."

The sanctuary is under closed management, so Yu Ran cannot meet with his family and friends when he goes to the sanctuary to study.

Since he had met his best friend in the space station, he should say hello. Joseph said considerately, "Go ahead. It will take some time for the space station to release you. Go and say goodbye to your friend. Can I give you 10 minutes?"

Yu Ran stood up happily: "Thank you, ma'am, that's enough!"

Joseph looked at the two sentinels behind him and said, "You two, protect Ranran."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yu Ran got off the spaceship, walked quickly towards the crowd, waved to a young man in the crowd and shouted, "Kevin!"

The curly-haired boy seemed stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then walked towards him excitedly: "Yu Ran? Why are you here?"

Yu Ran said, "I want to go to the capital planet too. By the way, what did you do after graduation? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I am doing business with my parents..."

The crowded crowd made the already small space station seem a bit chaotic, and the surrounding noise was also very noisy.

Two men in suits are about to board the interstellar spaceship in advance because they will use the VIP channel.

No one noticed that two thin red tentacles were crawling under people's feet at lightning speed. They quickly caught up with the two men, flexibly wrapped around their ankles, and then quickly climbed up their bodies to the back of their necks.

There was a sudden needle-like pain in the area where the back of the head connects to the cervical vertebrae. The two men felt a buzzing sound in their heads, and their feet slipped and they almost fell.

The pain was fleeting, and the two didn't think much about it. They quickly boarded the spacecraft with their suitcases and came to the luxurious compartment of the first-class cabin.

In the crowd of people in the space station, Yu Ran hugged Kevin reluctantly and said, "Take care of yourself. I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."

Kevin waved at him: "Okay, goodbye Yu Ran!"

After saying goodbye to his friends, Yu Ran followed the two sentinels back to the spaceship.

Seeing his depressed look, the Joseph smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, after graduating from the sanctuary, you can meet your family and friends normally. The reason why the sanctuary is closed for teaching is to protect you. After all, the newly awakened guides cannot control their spiritual power, and their spiritual world is easily hurt."

Yu Ran nodded: "I understand."

Joseph said, "Then let's go, the space station has been released."

The Guide Association's spacecraft had a certificate for interstellar travel, and after being released by the space station, the spacecraft quickly rose into the sky and left Planet B73.

Although this spacecraft is small in size, it is made of very advanced materials and has the fastest interstellar space jump technology. Planet B73 is located in the constellation Norma, not too far from the capital planet. It only took them half an hour to reach the capital planet's space station.

At this time, the huge interstellar passenger spacecraft located at the B73 space station had just taken off.

Inside the VIP luxury suite, the man with glasses and the man in the white shirt opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate their successful escape. Suddenly, deep in their minds, it was as if a ribbon was tightening their brain tissue.

The two men held their heads in horror and wanted to shout for help, but they found that their vocal cords seemed to have been cut off and they could not make any sound.

A huge nine-tailed fox appeared in the mental image.

The fox's nine tails shot up into the sky like a blazing flame, and its cold red eyes quietly looked down at the castle below.

That castle was the mental image of the B-rank sentinel. The originally huge castle actually looked extremely small in front of the nine-tailed fox. It looked at the castle as if it were a child's toy.

The red flames began to spread wildly, and in a blink of an eye, the strange flames completely engulfed the castle like a flood.

Every nerve in my brain seemed to be burning in flames!

The severe pain makes life worse than death.

“Ahhh—ah—”

The man's screams of collapse continued to echo deep in his mind, but the room was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

That was a cry of pain from the spirit world, and no one could hear it except themselves.
