Ten days later, somewhere in Broken Starlink.
A flying saucer flies across the universe with a long flame tail. In the cab, Aesop looked at the Broken Starlink star map that marked countless red danger areas, his eyes were extremely dignified.
The captain hesitated for a while, and then said: "There are not many routes left for us, we have almost entered a dead end, according to the current situation, I am afraid we will not be able to send you out of Broken Starlink, what's your plan?"
Aesop's face was ashen, his hands pressed against the table, the back of his hands stretched with blue veins, and he whispered: "Aren't you professionals, how could this be?!"
The captain smiled wryly, also confused, "I can't do anything about it, obviously I didn't leave any clues, and have been secretly moving, but the Black Star Legion seems to know our whereabouts, and can always accurately lay a circle around it, I don't know where they are from. Where did you get the news so accurate... In other words, could this be the power of prophecy, aren't you a prophet, why can't you predict it?"
Aesop gritted his teeth and had nothing to say.
He did not have the ability to launch along the way, and he did avoid some chasing troops, but the Black Star Legion was like a gangrene, no matter how many times it was thrown off, it would not take long to catch up again, even if the affiliated forces of Tool Nation Helped him to change the vehicle many times along the way, but still no effect.
Moreover, it is not Aesop himself who is controlling the body now, but the collective consciousness of a group of Mordo dead souls, unable to exert 100% predictive power. The secret base that was deliberately disclosed to the Black Star Legion at the beginning was not predicted, but the information they already knew, deliberately exposed, so that others would not doubt his "prophet" status.
Originally, Aesop’s voyage goal was to go to the edge of the Broken Starlink, but under the pursuit of the Black Star Legion like a hungry dog, he had to continue to hide in Tibet, the route was forced to deviate, and he is currently still inside the star field. Going around in circles, it's getting harder and harder now.
"If it really doesn't work..." Aesop looked at the star map, pointed to a nearby planet, and gritted his teeth: "Then cancel the plan to leave Broken Starlink, and you send me to this planet."
The captain looked in the direction of Aesop's finger, his face changed slightly, "Mountain Ash Star? It's been very chaotic here, are you sure you want to go?"
"That's right." Aesop nodded decisively.
This is a colonial star, currently belonging to the local galaxy-level civilization, but due to a historical reason, this planet has sharp social contradictions.
Originally, Mountain Ash Star had a native intelligent race, developed a surface civilization, and has been thriving, but was discovered by a local galaxy-level civilization when exploring the universe. Because it is not allowed to interfere with the treaty of low-level civilization, the local galaxy-level civilization only observed at the beginning, and did not interfere too much, just like the relationship between Gedora civilization and Seablue Star at the beginning.
But Mountain Ash Star is located in the border area of two galaxies. The local galaxy-level civilization and its neighbors have always had armed frictions and want to expand their borders, so they hope to completely control Mountain Ash Star in their hands - the unspoken rule of the "Peace Treaty" is the galaxy Only high-level civilizations can be truly guaranteed. Surface civilizations are nominally within the scope of the treaty, but in fact, there will always be some high-level civilizations that go against the grain and leave things behind.
The method used by the local galaxy-level civilization is naturally not a direct attack. It mainly uses two tactics. The first is to contact the Mountain Ash Star Civilization in the name of technical exchange, deliberately leaking some additional technologies, and later framed that the Mountain Ash Star Civilization stole some Technology that is outside the scope of AC. The second method is to secretly incite the division of the civilization on the surface. At a critical time, “war support” is provided to some of these regimes. Afterwards, under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion and helping to the end, the army is left in the mountain ash star and will no longer be withdrawn. Walk.
The huge gap in the strength of civilization is destined that the surface civilization basically cannot play the galaxy-level civilization, and the local civilization is two-pronged, and the Mountain Ash Star falls into their control without any suspense.
The sharp social contradictions came from the rebound of the Mountain Ash Star civilization. Various demonstrations and riots often occurred. Therefore, the local galaxy-level civilization adopted a policy of tough rule, and from time to time official troops were sent to suppress the civil activities of the Mountain Ash Star. So the planetary environment has been quite chaotic.
In the universe, there are not a few planets like Mountain Ash Star, and the order has created the seemingly peaceful interstellar society. However, under the surface of the flowers, the iron law of the law of the jungle is still followed, but it is no longer so naked, bloody, very Incidents like genocide should be less frequent.
What Aesop needs is such a planet. If he can die in the hands of the repressive forces of the galaxy-level civilization, he can make the dragon seat anger at the local galaxy-level civilization, and the plan will be a success!
"Well, now that you've decided, I'll find a way to sneak you in."
Seeing this, the captain did not persuade him anymore.
He is a grass-roots personnel sent by the affiliated forces of Tool Nation. He is not clear about the ins and outs. He is only responsible for carrying out the transportation tasks sent from above. He will do what the employer says. do not know.
"Remember, keep it secret."
Aesop instructed, zooming in on the image of the mountain ash star on the star map, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.
'Looks like this is my burial place...'
His mind was shaken for a moment, and his face became firm again.
As the soul aggregate of a bunch of dead men, he is not afraid of death and is absolutely loyal to Modo.
-Sacrificing himself, heroic sacrifice, and regaining a breather for Modo civilization, this is the mission he remembers!
However, just when he moved himself, everyone on this ship did not know that at this moment not far behind, dozens of high-level spaceships were quietly following.
It was the army led by Han Xiao!
The fleet is equipped with the top stealth device of the logistics department, and maintains stealth mode. It has been tracking for a long time, and has never been discovered by the flying saucer that Aesop was riding.
…
"Where did you say he wanted to go?"
In the command room of the main ship, Emersy looked at the flying saucer that was hurrying ahead, with doubts.
Han Xiao stood with arms folded and glanced at the star map, "It's probably Mountain Ash Star."
"What is he doing there?"
"How do I know." Han Xiao shrugged.
By monitoring all the secret forces that Tool Nation planted in Broken Starlink, the Black Star Legion's search work has become much smoother. He completely locked Aesop's trail yesterday and followed quietly behind him. He didn't jump up immediately, just wanted to see Let's see if Tool Nation has anything behind.
This kind of feeling is like a person who wants to sneak and do bad things, think that no one will find out, but don't know that there are tens of thousands of people behind him, staring at him playfully, watching all his actions. inside.
It is also a coincidence that if Modo civilization insists on using its own troops to transport Aesop, Han Xiao may not be able to catch up with others so easily. He still does not know that the real behind-the-scenes driving force is Modo civilization.
But Modo Civilization believes that Tool Nation’s troops are more secretive, and they choose to borrow Tool Nation’s troops, but they are self-defeating, and they just jump into Han Xiao’s knowledge area—for him, most of Tool Nation’s affiliated forces in Broken Starlink are There is no secret at all, it is almost the same as opening the full-view perspective.
“Go up and catch him now?” Emersy turned to look at Han Xiao
"Where is the need for so much trouble, just let him come here obediently."
Han Xiao smiled and pinched his fingers, sending out an invisible data.
…
Boom!
Aesop was studying the star map, and suddenly felt the hull of the ship shake, and the flying saucer seemed to suddenly turn off and stop.
He couldn't help looking up at the captain, his face full of surprise.
"What's the matter, is the spacecraft malfunctioning?"
"I-I don't know either."
The captain looked puzzled, showed his superb home appliance maintenance skills, clenched his fist and smashed it on the console twice, but the intelligence of the spaceship seemed to be dead, and there was no movement at all.
laugh-
Just then, the door suddenly opened automatically.
Everyone was shocked. The flying saucer was in the universe and opened the hatch rashly, and everyone in the ship might be sucked out.
However, the expected strong suction did not appear, it was quiet outside the cabin door, and everyone looked at the porthole with a confused look, only to see that the scene outside the window was still a dark starry sky.
"How is this going?!"
Aesop and his party came to the cabin door and looked out. The moment he saw the real scene outside, Aesop froze in place, and his face instantly filled with horror.
I saw that there was a huge metal belly outside. Black Star and Dragon Seat stood outside the cabin door with a group of subordinates, staring at him with a half-smile expression on their faces.
Aesop's eyes widened, and there was only confusion in his mind.
where is this? Why am I here? !
Is it because I'm not opening the door correctly, causing the hallucinations? !
At this time, Han Xiao laughed and said:
"You can run very well, and you don't even say hello. It's too much."
This scene is his handwriting. He easily invaded the flying saucer, and he took control without knowing it, and directly made the flying saucer turn a corner, and actively sailed into the belly of the main ship, throwing himself into the net.
He left misleading images in the portholes, leaving the people on the boat in the dark, not knowing what was going on.
Emersy took two steps forward, narrowed his eyes, and said in a bad tone, "Hmph, you let us find it for a long time! Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Seeing this scene, Aesop's face turned ashen.
Ruined! The plan failed!
Damn, just a little bit!
Failed!
He was extremely unwilling.
… No, there should be a turnaround! Black Star and Dragon Seat thought I was who I was, and I could continue to pretend!
Aesop hasn't given up completely yet, he wants to try harder, suppress the stormy waves in his heart, quickly pull out a smile, put on an embarrassed expression, "I was found by you... Black Star, didn't you agree to let me go? , why did you regret it?"
Han Xiao ignored him, but turned to look at Emersy, and said with a "I guessed it" tone:
"Look, I'm right."
Hearing this, Emersy looked at Aesop, nodded heavily, and agreed.
"You're right, he didn't smile enough, it must be a fake!"
When the voice fell, Aesop froze in place.
The brain is blank and the whole person is stupid.
What, to be able to see through my identity with such details!
…Bah! What a ridiculous reason! Ghosts don't believe it!
Aesop's smile became more and more stiff, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart, biting his head and said:
"What are you kidding... well, I admit it's my fault for sneaking away, I'll accept whatever you want to do with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao suddenly burst into thunder and shouted loudly:
"Want to pretend?!"
Aesop was startled, stunned for a moment, horrified, and there was only despair in his heart.
At this time, he doesn't know where he is, he has already been seen through, Black Star is playing a cat and a mouse, teasing him!
The next moment, he clenched his teeth sharply, suddenly drew his weapon to his head, and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
The plan has failed, and he has nowhere to go, so he chooses to resolutely cut himself off, to avoid Black Star's follow-through, and by the way, he can also get rid of Aesop, the prophet, and make his final contribution to Modo!
Bang! !
However, as soon as he raised the firearm, a beam of light flashed in front of him. I saw that Nilo, who had been prepared, raised his hand and fired a shot, directly knocking the firearm out of Aesop's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding legionnaires rushed up and pressed Aesop to the ground, unable to move.
Seeing this, Emersy breathed a sigh of relief, dissipated the force field in his hand, and glanced at Aesop, who was struggling, with complex eyes, and then turned to thank Han Xiao.
"Thank you, if it weren't for your help, things would be troublesome."
"It's a small matter. Aesop is also my friend. It's right to help him."
Han Xiao waved his hand and didn't care.
Emersy's eyes curved, she laughed, and lightly punched Han Xiao's chest, but did not speak.
She knew very well that without Han Xiao's unremitting help, she would not have been able to find Aesop so easily, and in the end something irreversible might happen. Aesop was her extremely important relative, and she couldn't imagine what she would do. .
At this time, words could not express my inner gratitude. Looking at Han Xiao's tall and burly figure, Emersy only felt very reliable and reassuring.
At this time, the trembling captain said carefully: "That... Your Excellency Black Star, you have found the person, can we go?"
Han Xiao glanced at him, snorted, and said, "Do you still want to leave? Be honest, when will I finish telling you the information you know, and when will I let you go."
Although these people are the subordinates of Tool Nation, it is estimated that they do not know anything, and Han Xiao does not intend to embarrass them.
After all, Han Xiao came to Aesop's side, squatted down, and his eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Okay, now let me see what's wrong with you old man..."
Han Xiao asked the soldier next to him to hold Aesop firmly, and the nanoparticle slipped out of his sleeve and condensed into a slender black needle, which he held in his hand.
He aimed at Aesop's butt and stabbed it hard like a nurse's injection.
"Hmm~"
A strange cry rang out immediately.
Han Xiao took out the black needle, looked at the battle information on the panel, and quickly glanced at Aesop's status, his face suddenly became strange.
"Soul-changing instrument? What is this thing?"
