Yue An couldn't believe it, how could he do such a thing to an innocent cub of his own race
If he hadn't reacted quickly, the little girl would have been cold by now.
Yue'an carried the group of human cubs out of the battle circle. These children didn't notice anything wrong, and they didn't panic when they were far away from that block. They stood on the big playground in the next block, grinning and mouthing each little brother. .
Yue An gave them candy again, patted their heads one by one, and finally looked at the little girl from the beginning.
"You..." Yue An wanted to say why these little cubs are so defenseless, but now is not the time to educate the children.
He magically took out a bunch of snacks, including some of his own stocks, and generously stuffed them to the little girl.
Compared with the little boys around who only watched him perform magic tricks with sparkling eyes, this little girl seemed to be the only one who was sensible.
"You guys are here, don't go back." Yuean looked around, thought for a while, and drew a large crooked circle on the ground with his feet, covering almost the entire playground, and then surrounded a layer of ordinary people watching Unable to reach the aura shield, "Take care of them, don't let them out of this playground."
The little girl nodded obediently.
Yue An didn't say any more, turned around and went back to that street, and sent a message to Ji Xiuyun by the way.
The streets in the old town are always quiet. When a group of children were playing here, Yue An could still feel a bit of vitality. Now that the children have been sent away by him, the whole street is so quiet that the sound of the wind blowing can be heard clearly .
It was so quiet that there was no vitality.
It shouldn't be.
Yue An stood at the entrance of the street, vigilantly on guard.
Within the block, he was able to clearly capture about forty breathing sounds, which were mixed with the wind and could be heard very clearly.
About a dozen of them were quite short of breath, and there were some rustling and struggling sounds.
There are hostages inside.
Yue An realized this almost immediately.
He has been sailing with Ji Xiuyun in the vast universe and interstellar space for so many days, and he has also encountered many desperadoes. These groups will always bring some civilians on their ships. The hostages were held hostage and asked the army to let them go.
In the past, this kind of tactic was probably invincible, even in the face of Ji Xiuyun's army, these star robbers looked fearless.
But it's a pity that Ji Xiuyun's legion has always been monolithic. Generally speaking, these star thief groups have turned into cosmic dust before they have time to make a threat.
With the addition of Yue An, Ji Xiuyun became even more powerful, and the efficiency of rescuing hostages skyrocketed.
Now that they caught an illegal ship, it was a brutal beating, and they were not afraid at all.
Yue An is not afraid now.
He stood at the entrance of the street, looking defenseless, and disappeared in the next second from the sight of a group of people peeping at the entrance of the street.
The people ambushing in the houses on both sides of the street were carrying weapons. Seeing this situation, their hearts tightened.
But it seemed that because of their preparations, they didn't react violently to this matter. To Yue An's surprise, they seemed extraordinarily calm.
Yue An saw more and he started to scan around for the commotion of human beings as soon as he disappeared. Yue An was rather surprised by these unknown number of ambushers who did not panic at all.
But the surprise was the surprise, Yue An still reacted quickly.
He didn't know why those people didn't waver in the face of his sudden disappearance.
He didn't know why these people came here with weapons and his photo to ambush this morning.
He didn't know what was going on inside the street buildings that he couldn't see.
But Yue An would never let go of anyone who made up his mind.
To let them go is to leave a hidden danger to his own safety, and Yue An is not stupid.
To be honest, the grass on the grave of the last person who tried to steal a cat is now two meters high.
The street was very quiet, Yue An concealed himself, moved nimbly, and silently strolled around the buildings on both sides of the street.
The group of ambushing people was separated, and each of them had at least five hostages tied to them.
Moreover, there are not many traces of fighting in the rooms on both sides, which means that these ambushers have very professional physical skills.
They made it clear that they were here for Yue'an, and they didn't cause any big commotion. Even the neighborhood next door was operating very normally, and the street environment was not at all quiet. From there to here, there was no sense of disobedience, obviously. It's like trying to lure the cat into the net when it's not prepared.
Yue'an could detect a strong smell of spirit stones from these people.
Because there were several large boxes of spirit stones in Ji Xiuyun's house, the aura of spirit stones on them was completely covered up. If Yuean hadn't been held back by that little girl, he really wouldn't have noticed this little detail.
Because everything is too normal, the normal quiet old city, the normal children playing around, and the very normal, so rich that you can easily feel the aura from a large number of spirit stones.
They didn't even let the hostages leave a trace of blood, and there was no trace of human blood in this aura.
The whole street was safe and sound without any harm, as if only Ji Xiuyun's room was left.
Yue An is not sure if these people know that Ji Xiuyun's home has a lot of spirit stones in stock, and in order to cover up the breath of spirit stones on his body, they choose not to touch Ji Xiuyun's home.
It was because Ji Xiuyun's home had the most advanced security system, so he didn't ransack Ji Xiuyun's home.
According to common sense, the possibility of the latter is obviously higher, but Yue An intuited that the former accounted for the vast majority of the proportion.
This group of people definitely came after him, and Yue An would inevitably think too much.
What do ordinary humans do with so many spirit stones
He also knows to use the spirit stone in Ji Xiuyun's house to cover up his aura, and his photo, and lays an ambush here in advance.
Even Yue An himself decided to come to Ji Xiuyun's house alone to fetch the spirit stone at the last minute. How could they lie in ambush here in the morning
Even if the information about their whereabouts is leaked, it's impossible to be sure that he came back alone, right
This group of people didn't understand his fighting power, but Ji Xiuyun's fighting power was always clear.
Squatting on the block of Ji Xiuyun's hometown, didn't he wash his neck and send it up
The more An Yue thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he needed the support of Ji Xiuyun, who had a flexible mind and a big brain.
Marshal Ji received the news from Yue An, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Yue An didn't directly play the communication to him, probably because the time was urgent and the situation was inconvenient.
He didn't reply to the message, but ordered two soldiers directly under him, and left the garrison of the defenders.
When Ji Xiuyun rushed to the block where his house was with two soldiers, Yue An had already picked up the ambushers one by one and tied them together.
A total of nine people were caught by Yue An who had no power to fight back. He clasped his hands behind his back with a military-style rope, tied several knots, and then tied the nine people together.
Ji Xiuyun is quite familiar with this method of kidnapping people, because this is what he taught Yue An.
As for Yue An himself, holding the fifty or so energy spars he collected from these people, surrounded by a group of people eating melons and the rescued hostages, he lowered his eyes and looked at the nine people with a pensive expression on his face. .
The appearance of Ji Xiuyun made the crowd quiet down instantly.
Yue An came back to his senses and turned his head to look around, only to realize that most of the children he threw into the covers in the next block were found by their parents.
The eyes of these parents who were taken as hostages were red, revealing some resentment and the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.
"What's going on?" Ji Xiuyun asked.
"Freedom Army." Yue An pouted at the group of prisoners, the logo of the Freedom Army was tattooed on their wrists, "They seem to know very well that I will come, and they even arranged a small trap against me."
Ji Xiuyun turned his head to look at the captured ambushers, and just as he caught sight, the leader showed him a subtly distorted and proud smile.
"A prophet is omnipotent."
"Prophet?" Ji Xiuyun repeated.
"Sounds like a cult." Yue An answered.
Ji Xiuyun nodded first, then seemed to think of something, and signaled to the two direct soldiers to take the people back first. Yue An and Ji Xiuyun both knew what they would experience when they were brought back into the interrogation class.
The response speed of the troops stationed there was a bit slow, it seemed that it was because of problems with the monitoring and patrol arrangements in this block that they could not rush over as soon as the incident happened.
— After Ji Xiuyun's soldiers took him away.
Knowing that they were wrong, they didn't dare to ask Ji Xiuyun's dignitary, and when they got the news, they rushed over, so they could only do the aftermath work silently.
Yue An and Ji Xiuyun stayed at the end, and they had to go home to get the several large boxes of energy crystals.
"About 'prophet'... Is there any foreknowledge in your skills?" Ji Xiuyun asked in a low voice.
"Prediction? Yes, there is, but to detail something at a certain point in time, it is usually a racial talent." Yue'an thought for a while, "Do you think the prophet they are talking about is a monk?"
"No." Ji Xiuyun shook his head. If he was a monk, the Free Army would have overthrown his army long ago.
For details, refer to Yue'an's endlessly powerful spells.
"It may be the talent of returning to the ancestors, or it may be some magical thing obtained by accident."
What returning to the ancestors is ugly, we generally call this awakening.
Yue An whispered in his heart.
"Then what's the use of them targeting me?" Yue An pulled his hair.
He felt that besides being cute, he seemed to have nothing worth coveting.
"You are a nine-tailed cat." Ji Xiuyun reminded the unconscious cat.
Yue An looked up at him, his expression slowly changed from calm to terrified.
"They want to catch me and make a wish...?"
Ji Xiuyun nodded: "Maybe."
Yue An nervously grabbed Ji Xiuyun's clothes, and decided to gnaw on him a thousand or eight hundred spirit stones to keep safe.
Yue An was just about to take Ji Xiuyun to pick up the goods and leave quickly, when he turned his head and saw the little girl standing in the corner, poking her head out to look at them.
Now that all the children have been picked up by their parents, she is the only one who stays where she is.
"I didn't realize it at first, but this little girl told me." Yue An whispered beside Ji Xiuyun, "If it wasn't for her, I might have overturned the car."
After Yue An finished speaking, he dragged Ji Xiuyun over, bent down and asked her, "Where's your family? Why haven't you come to pick you up?"
"No one picked me up. My mother was sick and died. My father went to fight and said he would come back after the fight."
The little girl is not afraid of life, her voice is still sweet, there is no sadness on her face when she said this, but she turned her head to look at Ji Xiuyun with some expectation: "Marshal Ji, when will the war end?"
"I miss my father a little bit." She said softly.
Yue An was taken aback, straightened up, and turned to look at Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun is not a general who is close to the people, he has not even faced such questions directly, and there are more praises and cursing for him on the star network.
No one had asked him so expectantly: When will the war end
The Marshal was silent for a while, then turned to look at Yue An.
Unlike Yue An, a rookie who only came into contact with the heinous star bandits on the battlefield, Ji Xiuyun was once a Marshal who made great achievements in conquering a galaxy with his own hands.
He has seen too many broken families and despair, and many of them were caused by himself. When faced with such a straightforward and simple question from the little girl, Ji Xiuyun felt helpless.
Marshal Ji failed to get Yue An's help.
He finally put his eyes back on the little girl in front of him. After a long time, when the look in the little girl's eyes gradually faded, Ji Xiuyun solemnly replied slowly and firmly, "Soon."
Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun for a long time, then turned his head back in a daze, and looked at the little girl in front of him.
The anticipation and joy in the little girl's eyes were like diamonds shining beautifully.
Ji Xiuyun's firmness and generosity are like ice that will not melt for thousands of years, without the slightest wavering or crack.
Like believers and gods who respond to faith.
It was a trust and feedback unique to human beings that Yue An had never felt before. It was as beautiful as the most brilliant light in life suddenly blooming.
Yue An's eyes fell on Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun turned his head, the pair of quiet and dark eyes that looked like the deepest part of the universe, now with a little bit of starlight, were watching him quietly.
At this moment, Yue An suddenly understood why the old man always told him not to get too close to humans, because monsters would never be able to resist the erosion of a human's feelings.
Because life is short, human beings are always willing to burn themselves—for a certain emotion, for a certain belief, for a certain dream.
This kind of fiery and seething attitude, like falling stars, will always have a fatal attraction in the eyes of the long-lived species who are very calm in all aspects.
The author has something to say: Yue An: Who is pretending to be coercive! It's so dazzling! !
Ji Xiuyun: ...
