The spicy and delicious flavor of Red Star is still in the mouth, but the Shakespeare’s second stop, Orije Planet, is already far behind. The iron-red planet covered with metal is a very unique one. However, due to excessive logging by humans, the environment of the entire planet has been severely damaged. From the famous gold rush valley in the past, it has become a poor star that relies on a fragile flower growing on the metal surface as a selling point to attract tourists. People sigh.
The population of Planet Orij has changed from one billion at its peak to more than two million today, and this change has only taken a hundred years.
After the metal planet passed, the third station Yale star also gradually faded in the eyes of Ryan and Oston. This planet with a pungent sulfur smell in the air must wear protective clothing to land, and the population living here is even more There are only a mere two or three hundred thousand people who earn a living by collecting pungent air and separating useful gases. They are workers hired by the same factory. The reason why this planet is used as one of the tourist stops is because there are colorful halos floating in the air all the year round, but the thick colors have a light texture like silk and satin, which looks like a living oil painting, just like Van Gogh's "Starry Sky" , the swirling brown light clusters are stars one after another, and the winding colored gas is strands of clouds.
If someone is too absorbed in admiring the scenery and neglects his protective mask, and inhales a large amount of pungent gas, the hospitalization is mild, and the lungs are burnt until death is normal.
Beauty and danger coexist.
Wealth is also inseparable from danger.
Who would have thought that some of these gases, which are very poisonous at first sight, can be used in cosmetics after refining, and become the secret of human beings to maintain beauty.
After the third stop is the fourth stop, Greixing. There is nothing to say about this planet. After traveling to the first two small planets, the guests urgently need ordinary and comfortable travel. Enjoy the air without any special smell, feel the warm and comfortable sunshine, that's all.
After spending the whole day in Gray Star, everyone boarded the Shakespeare to spend the night. When they woke up, they arrived at the fifth stop, Bellander. It was the largest planet in this trip. More than one billion, with a very prosperous economy and unique culture - ice sculpture culture. In the streets, alleys, squares and courtyards, the ice sculptures may be tens of meters high or short and large, or stand alone or in twos and threes or in groups. Ice sculptures from mythology, reality and other themes can be seen everywhere.
The Igloo Bar in Bayland is worth a visit. The ice cubes taken from the open air are sunk into the beer, and you can drink it in the warm summer room. It is definitely a top-notch stimulation. Exploding honey, a blend of cold and sweet, beer with honey, and only imaginative Berlanders know how to enjoy the gifts of nature to the fullest. The honey comes from the place where they are going next, so I won't talk about it here.
I made an appointment with Fan Luting, who lives in the capital of Bayland, to meet at the Blue Moonlight Bar. The agreed time was 9:30 in the morning, and it is only after 7:00. Before going, Ryan and Auston have to do one thing first. Sending Evan, who is known as a "musician", to the police station, 5,000 star coins is not a small fortune. Of course, Ryan and Auston are not short of this money, but they feel very unsafe to see Evan walking around on the cruise ship. This is an interstellar human trafficker who specializes in stealing children.
In the interstellar era with low fertility rate, it is normal for couples who have been married for many years to have no children of their own. The deformed industries that have arisen under the anxiety of declining birth rate are flooding the black market. The most popular "product".
Evan mingled with the staff of the Shakespeare, and used his slick tongue to gain the trust of everyone from the captain to the general cleaning staff. Ryan had initially inquired that this "musician" had worked on the cruise ship for five years. In 2019, he worked hard, and the band he brought out was well received by tourists, and was selected as the outstanding employee of the year twice.
In this context, even if Ryan throws the reward order in front of those people, he will not get help, but will startle the snake. For this reason, Ryan chose the Shakespeare to dock at Bayland for routine maintenance, and all ship personnel (including tourists and ship staff) had the opportunity to get off the ship and arrest them.
This kind of travel sideshow is much more interesting than playing on various small planets.
"He went to the east alley." Auston, wearing a black mask, glanced at the entrance of Bar Street, and quickly locked on to their target.
What Auston received from an early age was the education of the overall situation, how to issue missions as a commander, deploy control throughout the process, and achieve goals... This is the first time he has done this kind of personal hunting of adventurers. Did not expect to participate in it with enthusiasm.
The two followed Evan all the way off the cruise ship. Evan had sufficient geographical advantages. After getting off the cruise ship and turning around in the berthing port, he disappeared before their eyes. It took Ryan and Auston half an hour to find it again. This person, at this moment, is holding a white swaddle in his hands, a baby stolen from no one knows where. Once Evan is allowed to escape, the child will completely disappear in the vast crowd, and it will be very difficult to find him.
"Let's keep up, and we must control Evan before he gets rid of him." Ryan said, he glanced at the east alley, and the map in his mind was running and positioning quickly. He guessed, "Evan is going to the bus station."
Ryan and Oston glanced at each other without saying a word, they acted in tacit understanding at the same time, and ran to the east alley. The biggest difference between the bus station in the interstellar era and the bus station in the ancient earth era is the energy used by the vehicles. In addition, the crowds are dense, the composition is complex, etc. As always, it is too easy to transfer a baby at the bus station.
Don't talk about real-name ticket sales and inspection, there is no need to buy a ticket for a baby in your arms. To put it bluntly, it is a precious piece of luggage in the hands of parents, which is easily overlooked. Some congressmen once proposed that infants should also buy a ticket to get on the bus, but it was opposed by a large number of people who rely on the car as a means of transportation. Whether it is now or in the past, bus tickets are cheap and are the first choice of many low- and middle-income people. They need convenience, Fast rides instead of wasted checking in babies.
It was still a step late for the two of them to enter the alley, and Evan, who was familiar with the environment here, had already left here.
"Let's go!" Auston didn't stop, raised his long legs, and was about to go directly to the station. A tremor came from his wrist, and the personal terminal that had been adjusted to silent mode reminded him that there was a message coming in. Oston raised his hand to look at it, and his pupils shrank suddenly after seeing the message on it, and said in a deep voice, "The baby is gone."
"I also received the message."
Bayland is the home of Graydon Stark's family of three, and they said their goodbyes in the morning. The white and fat Graydon invited Ryan and Oston to visit their house whenever they had time. All very pleasant. The baby is a cutie who can eat, sleep, cry and make no fuss, and grows up day by day. Oston feels that every time he sees him, he is a new him. I just said goodbye in the morning, and within an hour, the child was gone!
Ryan and Auston kept on stepping, dialed the video call with Gray, and got connected as soon as they dialed. The people over there were obviously waiting at the personal terminal. As soon as the connection was made, Graydon, who was sweating profusely, said quickly: "We are now at the police station and have reported the crime, but, but..." Graydon had to say the reality that is very cruel to them now but they have to face , "But it will take time for the police to investigate, and the baby may disappear forever after a little later."
"Don't panic, explain the whole process of the baby's disappearance." Ryan's calm and warm voice had a calming effect, and it was transmitted to Graydon's ears through the Internet, and Graydon, who was so anxious that he was spinning around, calmed down visibly with the naked eye.
Graydon looked at Ryan on the video call screen, and his heart was at ease all of a sudden, as if Ryan was the magic needle of the sea and the gods and Buddhas alive, as long as he told him what happened, he would be able to find the baby. Graydon closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said, "After Herman and I got off the cruise ship, we found the small starship parked at the port of anchorage, and boarded the ship with equipment to go home. It took thirty minutes to get there. When we found the small starship, a man came out to ask us for directions. I wondered why someone came to ask for directions in such a remote place, but I still told him how to get there. Herman lost consciousness. When he woke up, the nanny robot was blown up, and the baby in Herman's arms was gone."
The nanny robot resisted in order to protect the children, but the home-assisting robot did not have effective means of force and was easily subdued.
Finding that the child was missing, Starkoff immediately called the police. The police dispatched the police very quickly, and also called the nearby surveillance to check, but they were not able to find the trace of the person who stole the child through the surveillance. Obviously, the other party was very familiar with the location of the surveillance and intended to Hiding his whereabouts in blind spots.
The police are asking Herman if they have any enemies. Graydon had already been questioned. After the questioning, he stood helplessly in the corridor, and suddenly thought of Ryan and Auston. These two friends he met during the trip felt very mysterious and powerful to him, maybe There is a way to find the baby. Like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, Graydon sent messages to Ryan and Oston at the same time, without direct video calls, because even at this time he still maintained a trace of sanity inherited from his great-great-grandfather—request Don't be a person who hastily disturb others.
After talking about the child's disappearance and the whole process of their coping, Graydon looked helplessly at Ryan and Oston on the screen, expecting them to show their power and find the child in one go.
Ryan frowned slightly. They were looking for a human trafficker, and Graydon's child was lost again. There are no 100% coincidences in the world, and most of them are caused by human beings. Ryan has a guess that can basically be concluded to be a fact. Evan stayed on the Shakespeare as an ordinary band leader to look for "cargo" and deliver the goods when the time is right. The baby became his chosen target. There are so many people on the cruise ship. , there must be someone missing. How could the "musician" Evan, who was on the reward list of 5,000 star coins, catch a child in just one trip? There must be more.
There was an exclamation from Graydon, which confirmed Ryan's guess, "Someone has come to report the crime again. I seem to have seen it. It's on a cruise ship." The screen moved, and he hurried over to listen to the news. The crying was transmitted to Ryan and Alston's ears, and then Graydon looked at the camera with a dark face and panic, "It's on the Shakespeare, they lost a three-year-old girl, and a group of them are about to get out of the berth Take a taxi from Hong Kong, and the child is gone in a blink of an eye.”
Similarly, the police could not find the suspect in the surveillance.
The police are already sure that this is a premeditated and sophisticated gang. The reason why he chose Bayland over Little Planet is because there are more people in Bayland, and the best way to make a person disappear is to disappear among the crowd.
Ryan nodded towards Oston, and he was sure that Evan was the one who committed the crime.
"Someone is here again." Graydon's expression was no longer panicked, replaced by deep anger, "Two families, lost a five-year-old boy and a six-month-old baby, the baby girl These damned human traffickers deserve a terrible death!" He wished he could catch those human traffickers immediately and tear them alive, "How dare they, how dare they do something in Bayland, this is the capital of a second-tier planet, with police and troops stationed there, Are they crazy?"
The well-informed Ryan and Auston thought of another layer. If they dared to challenge the police and the army, it must be targeted. Maybe it was a community of high-level interests, or a group of rampant, murderous people. There are many pirates in ambush, no matter which one they are, they must be taken seriously.
Finding out the people behind it is not the most urgent thing at the moment, what they have to do now is to find out the children who are about to change hands. After walking out of the alley and taking a few detours, the bus station of the second-tier planet Belland is right in front of you.
Before hanging up the video, Ryan told Graydon, "You tell the police that the 'musician' Evan was found at the capital bus station."
"'Musician' Evan?"
"He is a notorious interstellar human trafficker, you can tell the police." Without much explanation, Ryan and Auston walked into the bus station after a hasty explanation.
To be able to become a second-tier planet, Bayland must be a densely populated place, and the population of the capital must be the most populous city on the entire planet. The artistic sail-like building is Belland’s Capital Bus Station. Thousands of buses depart from here to all parts of the world every day. Dun was pushed by the crowd, Ryan grabbed Oston's waist and spun lightly to avoid the crowd, and then came to a colonnade, and said close to Oston's ear amidst the noise, "I'll go to the station Station master, request to check the monitoring.” There is no special identity to require the cooperation of various departments of the station, so it should be nothing if you say that your child is lost and ask to check the monitoring.
Alston said, "I'll go." Compared with Ryan, his biggest advantage is his identity, and now he doesn't care about being exposed or not, saving people is the most important thing.
Ryan thought for a while, this is the most convenient and quickest way, he said: "I'll walk around, maybe I can meet them." It takes time to connect, and Evan probably didn't leave the bus station so soon.
"Okay, keep in touch at all times." Alston nodded, and the two split up.
There are still a lot of people at the station, there are people leaving and coming in, old people, children, men and women in a hurry carrying luggage, loud music, crying of children, persuasion from parents The sound is endless, the smell of orange, the smell of instant noodles, the smell of tea eggs boiled in the pot of the small supermarket lasts for a long time... Time seems to stop here, everything goes back a thousand years and returns to the era of the mother planet of the earth.
However, this is just a momentary trance. Seeing the display screen suspended in the air, the holographic projection and the robot passing through the crowd, this is still the station of the interstellar era.
Ryan, who was wearing the same mask as Alston, looked around normally, his eyes inadvertently swept across the faces, and the rewards that had been remembered in his mind just by looking at them emerged one by one, and the Compare people you see.
no, no, no...
So far, no one has been found to be similar to the person in the reward order, unless the person chosen by Evan has not been noticed by the imperial police. Ryan has received systematic training. Even if a person's face is 80% camouflaged, he can almost determine whether the person is the person he is looking for through his eyes, so all camouflage is useless to him.
He had two guesses, Evan's connector was a veteran who hadn't been wanted by the police, or a newcomer who hadn't made a name for himself yet. Of course, it doesn't rule out that the station is so big, he hasn't seen anyone yet.
The young man with a black suitcase next to his legs is a bit suspicious; the timid woman who came out of the bathroom looked suspiciously; the three men and two women leaning against the wall and looking around while talking are suspicious; the old man who keeps coughing is suspicious; selling everywhere The child who vapes is suspicious; the station robot passing by must have a problem!
At this moment, the voice of Oston, who had exposed his identity and obtained the assistance of the station master, reached Ryan's ear through the personal terminal, and he said in a calm and calm voice: "Ryan, the robot passing by you is walking on the wrong path, and the child is walking on it. in the stomach."
Ryan glanced over the robot and landed on the surrounding crowd. His eyes were slightly cold, and his muscles were mobilized in an instant. A dagger slipped from the sheath tied to his forearm to his right hand, and the siren sounded from Far and near, the station police were instructed to draw their guns and walked out of the police room, looking at the crowd aimlessly.
Oops!
Scared the snake.
Ryan knew it was too late, he said quickly: "They are going to do it."
When it was too late, Ryan rushed out, leaving afterimages behind him at such a fast speed. With a bang, the fast-moving robot changed its route and was knocked down. When he took a closer look, the robot's stomach was opened. Ryan There was a baby wrapped in a white swaddle in the crook of his arms, and the child fell into a deep sleep abnormally. It was Graydon and Herman's son Baby.
"Lian, behind you."
Auston's reminder and Ryan's actions are seamlessly connected. The old man who attacked Ryan missed this shot, and if he failed to make up for it, the crutch in the hand of the white-haired old man became a life-threatening weapon. He tried to hit Ryan's vitals, but every hit was in vain.
The old man let out an angry roar, threw away his crutches, turned around and went to the seat to get the gun. There is a security check when entering the station. The luggage is disassembled and disguised as various parts of the suitcase to bring in. It takes a lot of effort to put it back together.
"Ha ha."
Youdai's young and tender ridicule came from the direction of Ryan at ten o'clock. He was a boy who looked at eighteen or seventeen years old. He had a red pimple on his forehead and a few stubbles on his chin that he had not shaved. Lose. There was a big black suitcase at his feet, the kind that could hold a child. The big boy made a gesture of shooting at Ryan, blinked pretentiously, and let out a "bang" from his mouth.
The sound fell, and the station robot knocked down by Ryan turned over and changed into a combat mode. It was cylindrical, with silent tracks underneath, a round head on top, and two arms. It looked like an upside-down exclamation mark. With a hand, the robot "wearing" the uniform suddenly lost its businesslike cuteness, replaced by a cold killing, and the electronically synthesized voice sounded, "Clear. Clear. Clear."
The two round arms were raised straight, and the position of the hand was retracted, and the black hole of the machine gun emerged. There was a red light flickering at the machine gun, and the subtle rattling sound was caught by Ryan. He squinted his eyes. This is the bullet loading. the sound of.
The big boy showed a bright smile at Ryan, and suddenly he raised his head and shouted to the surroundings, "Shoot, run away." Only then did the stunned crowd react, screaming, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the crowd seemed to be gone. Fleeing like flies, it caused another trouble for Ryan.
From Ryan bringing down the robot to pick up the child to being attacked by the old man to the robot rioting, only 20 seconds have passed. For a few breaths, the people around did not react at all.
The big boy standing next to the black suitcase raised his eyebrows and operated the robot calmly. A hundred meters away, three more station robots changed direction and approached Ryan.
Ryan chuckled, not even the slightest bit afraid. This made the big boy very strange. He stared at Ryan curiously. Doesn't this person know the current situation
Ryan laughed because of his strength. He stood in place, but he didn't see any special movements. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the robot that was loading the bullet with full strength. After the robot cracked, the toothache cracked. The round head flew out and hit the old man who was assembling the gun. The old man who looked like a chicken thief let out an ah, and fell to the ground in pain.
The biggest disadvantage of the station robot is that the connection between the head and the body is not strong for the sake of cuteness.
Calm and composed, the big boy who thought he was in control of the overall situation opened his eyes wide, couldn't help standing up slowly, staring at Ryan's sight slowly climbed into panic. The connection between the head and the body of the station robot is not stable, but it is not enough to let people fly with a kick. Besides, the robot he secretly modified is reinforced, and the strength of the feet is not three hundred catties. Don't even think about it. .
"Are you a human?"
The big boy asked the heartfelt feelings of the old man lying on the ground, thinking that he has been in the interstellar world for more than a hundred years, and even if he has bad legs, killing people is like playing, and he was easily brought down
They all have some doubts about life.
"what!"
Painful cries and screams sounded from the direction of the toilet, awakening the stunned mind of the big boy. He shrugged and said loudly: "You are too powerful, I can't face you directly, bye ~ let's play with my baby." He However, he controlled several station robots, and he didn't have time to modify them. He didn't have any lethal weapons, but he could still cause a lot of distress to that man.
Two fists are no match for four hands, no matter how powerful that man is, what's the use of it, can one person be used as a thousand horses, against a group of people
The smell of blood continued to spread in the waiting room. A timid woman even took out a machete and slashed at everyone. No one would be spared. Three men and two women who were leaning against the wall also joined in the slashing. It fell, and when it was lifted, it was already covered with bright red blood. This was a one-handed killing.
The little boy selling e-cigarettes laughed mischievously, unscrewed the e-cigarette in his hand and threw it on the ground. Thick smoke appeared and blocked his sight.
Like this, the police are still arresting them like this, hee hee.
The gangsters, who were stimulated by the sound of the siren, did not stop doing anything, and simply started in the waiting room. As the big boy said, Ryan is only one person, no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop all the evils from happening. It's good that he can solve the troubles around him. That boy must be a genius with mechanical convenience. He controls as many as twelve station robots, including the one killed by Ryan. The station robots all have basic combat capabilities. They are not difficult to deal with, but they are difficult to deal with.
Ryan, who was holding the child, jumped out of the encirclement of the robot, and faced the old man's cane again. The cane danced with great force, and the sound of piercing through the air made a whistling sound. Dodging with a low body, Ryan turned half a circle under his feet, and dodged the old man's attack again. The old man was so angry that he yelled, "Mother Xipi, fuck you, labor and capital will fuck you..." All kinds of obscenities It's been heard endlessly, it's the interstellar era, and the dirty words related to the genitals of the ancient earth era are still used to greet female elders.
Scolding Ryan himself, he is indifferent and has no waves in his heart. But when it comes to relatives, he will not rest, looking at the old man with cold eyes is like looking at a dead person. The old man who had enjoyed scolding suddenly felt cold in his vest, and the dirty words were half in his mouth, but he couldn't spit them out. He suddenly felt his throat was warm, and there was cool air rushing into it. It was just a short moment of stupefaction, and he missed his life. For the rest of the life, he raised his hand to cover his neck, and the warm blood trickled out, like the sound of a spring water ding-dong. When did the man who was being attacked by him move his hand? The old man's sluggish brain couldn't react, and Ryan's indifferent expression was finally reflected in the dilated pupils.
After a long time, the big boy who was eating potato chips and drinking Interstellar Coca-Cola let out a groan. He looked around, and his keen intuition told him that running away was the best policy.
The gangsters hiding in the crowd are not just these few people. Ryan met his opponent. He was a silent two-meter-tall man, like an iron tower, like a bulldozer crushing everything he encountered. A screaming man ran into him in a panic. On his body, the silent big Hanpu fan-like hands grabbed the man's head, holding it in both hands like a basketball.
puff-
There was a sound of watermelon bursting, and blood splattered, red and white.
The iron tower man threw away his twitching body, and silently walked towards Ryan who was entangled by the robot. Ryan held the child in his hands, which weakened some of his strength, and the fly-like station robots were very annoying. He couldn't kick every one of them. It took time to accumulate strength and kick them out. The robot behind him was swung away and hit the ground with a bang, and then Ryan's vest was caught, and the tower man easily lifted Ryan, and his other hand grabbed Ryan's foot, and he was about to break Ryan.
There were hurried footsteps behind the big man in the iron tower. Oston jumped into the air when he saw this scene, and attacked the big man in the iron tower.
