Chapter 87

When all parties are in turmoil, the empire and the red mist star.

Red Mist Star is located on the edge of the empire. Although it has a serious name, its status is actually equal to that of the Federation's Edge Star, but it is more chaotic than the Edge Star, so it is also known as "Criminal Paradise".

A wilderness in Red Mist Star.

Xiaoxue continued to fall, and on the endless field, there was a small red spot that was very different from the whiteness of the snow. When I got closer, it was actually a fire. There were two young women sitting beside the fire, and a round dog next to it. A disc-shaped airship covered with thin snow.

Anyone from the empire would be able to recognize these two women sitting by the fire, because these were the crown prince of the empire and her princess, that is, Qi Lian and Jiang Ran, who were rumored to have died in the explosion.

"He really exploded."

In such a cold winter, the two of them didn't wear a lot.Qi Lian was still wearing summer single clothes, Jiang Ran was better than her, but only had an extra coat, but neither of them looked cold, they didn't show any signs of shivering in the cold wind, and they didn't hold tight to the fire. put.

If someone with high-level spiritual power observes them through mental power, they will find a thin halo around their bodies, and it is this halo that blocks the cold from coming.

"It's crazy and stupid."

Facing Jiang Ran's emotion, Qi Lian shook his head and sighed.But even though she said "very stupid", she couldn't help feeling a little scared, because they almost died in the explosion.

It's not that security is bad.

Although the spaceship was provided by the federation and claimed to be absolutely safe, the federation would not stop Qi Lian's people from conducting an investigation on the safety of the spaceship.The normal process went through, and after several inspections, Qi Lian's security experts from the empire found nothing unusual.

Of course there will be no abnormality, because the gunk does not come from the inside of the spacecraft, but from the outside of the spacecraft.

It was a missile, which came from an uninhabitable mine star on the route of the Pioneer. Someone established a temporary space base station there, and set up a missile launcher, and locked it to launch when the Pioneer passed by.

If it was just a missile, it would not be able to cause such an explosion.If it was said that the Federation's military spaceship would be defeated by a missile so easily, it would have been breached by the Empire long ago.The anti-missile system mounted on the spacecraft can perfectly detect and intercept missiles, and even if a missile hits the spacecraft, the spacecraft will open the shield the moment it detects that danger is approaching, which can perfectly offset several attacks.

But the problem is that the anti-missile system has not been turned on, and the shield has been closed long ago.The biggest security problem of this spaceship is not dead objects like missiles, but people.

The federal soldiers who were in charge of driving the spaceship actually had a secret mission, which was to let the spaceship be detonated by a missile without any defense.

With such an arrangement, how could the Pioneer not explode?

"He's actually not stupid. This arrangement probably took several years. Before you got well a few years ago, he started preparing for the explosion."

The snow cubes in the military kettle had already boiled, Jiang Ran took a sip and handed it to Qi Lian.

Qi Lian blew on it and drank a couple of sips, then put the kettle on the ashes beside the fire to warm it, and poked the fire.

"He's a conspirator, and there are methods like this, but he can't get on the stage in the end." The flames danced on his clean face, and he looked very energetic. Qi Lian smiled, and some white air was blown out, which made her see It sounds a bit mysterious: "We don't know when this plan started, but as long as it is done, there will be traces. They want to kill us, no matter how they hide it, they still have killing intentions in their hearts. This kind of tiny mental fluctuations are felt by others. No, but we can still find clues."

The airship ran out of energy, and this night was going to be spent in the wilderness, so although the sky outside was turned upside down, Qi Lian stayed here calmly, and she even thought about giving lectures to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran hugged one of her arms and rested his head on her shoulder: "I just think they were overly excited, but I didn't see that it was killing intent."

They were on the same spaceship, and of course they also dealt with soldiers sent by the Federation. Some people made Jiang Ran feel uncomfortable, but it was only a slight discomfort. She didn't think about it at all until Qi Lian secretly asked She how she feels about those people.

That's when she knew it was wrong.

The excitement she thought was, in Qi Lian's view, the excitement of a big event about to be accomplished. Qi Lian is a person who has experienced the flames of war. She rushed to the forefront and cultivated an unparalleled battlefield intuition in battle after battle. She felt that this excitement was very familiar, similar to the sense of killing that high-level Zerg plundered on the battlefield.

Of course, the emotions of human beings are much more restrained than those of Zerg, and it’s just a little fluctuation of mental power. Even if Qi Lian is as sensitive as Qi Lian, she can’t determine something through this little fluctuation, so she specifically asked Jiang Ran, Because she was sure that if she could feel it, then Ran Ran should also feel it a little bit.

S-level spiritual power is a bit reluctant to perceive such subtle emotions, but Ran Ran is different. Although she stays at S-level, she can devour other people's mental power when she is at E-level, and can even suppress it. The spiritual power of the Queen of Worms means that her spiritual power is terrifying, perhaps so terrifying that even Qi Lian is unwilling to touch its edge.

After all, Qi Lian and the others only focus on destruction, but Jiang Ran focuses on devouring.She is not picky at all, as long as she eats mental power, this is what Qi Lian and Jiang Ran experimented with later.

Qi Lian has a bold guess, that is, they rely on training and finding genetic matchers to improve their mental power, but Ran Ran relies entirely on "eating", which means that Ran Ran will still devour mental power in the future.Fortunately, Jiang Ran has been full after eating the power of the queen worm, otherwise, she might unconsciously capture other people's spiritual power as food again.

Because her mental power is so peculiar and domineering, she should be able to catch those malice.

The facts proved that Qi Lian was right, Jiang Ran did feel it, but she only knew what those things were after Qi Lian's explanation.

After that time, they paid more attention to the special types of soldiers they encountered from time to time.

The more you pay attention, the more frightened you become.Because on this ship, there are more than one people who are hostile towards them, including even the captain of this spaceship.

After observing quietly for more than a month, the spacecraft sailed away from the bustling star field of the Federation. Jiang Ran and Qi Lian became more and more vigilant. However, they only guessed that these people would tamper with their diet, or It was to find a good time to launch an attack with weapons, but they did not expect that this plan was so crazy.

Crazy enough to trade his life for his life, so crazy that he would not hesitate to make the Federation the bearer of a shocking scandal, so crazy that he would not care about the consequences that might trigger a war between the two countries.

"It's okay, you can see it when you meet again in the future. Ran Ran, your growth rate is so fast that I am horrified. I used to support you to continue your career as a chef, but I can imagine that if your growth is overwhelmed by those Old Antique found out how embarrassing they would be if you didn't focus on majoring in spiritual power."

Jiang Ran smiled sweetly: "It's so boring to fight and kill people. For me, eating, drinking and drinking are fundamental."

Qi Lian laughed, "eating and drinking are fundamental", isn't the mental energy that burns only thinking about eating?

"By the way, can I learn your trick?" The wind was blowing in the field, and the flames were blown to one side, almost touching the ground, but because there was enough firewood, they never went out. , Jiang Ran suddenly asked curiously.

"what?"

"It's the trick of the interrogation, well, it's like magic, why did he tell everything?"

This is about Qi Lian's interrogation of a federal officer on the spaceship.It was this interrogation that saved their lives.

Originally, they didn't think of scaring the snake, but as they got closer to the empire, Qi Lian became more and more anxious, as if something was waiting for them ahead, and the ominous premonition became more and more serious. Qi Lian tried to find a way to let a senior officer "Sick", he was interrogated while he was being treated in the medical room.

They were shocked by the result of the question. It turned out that there was an explosion waiting for them in front of them.

"A sufficient dose of hallucinogens, coupled with the interference of mental power, will make him fall into what he thinks is a deep sleep for a short time. In fact, he is awake and can answer questions clearly. But this is very difficult, especially for soldiers with strong will Come on."

"That's right, it must be difficult to deal with all determined to come and die."

"Yeah, it's hard."

"Ah Lian, I'm a little scared."

If they didn't go to interrogate that person at that time, would they really disappear with the explosion at this moment?This kind of luck is really annoying.

"It's okay, there won't be any in the future. I didn't think carefully this time. It's still not cautious enough. I should secretly transfer to another spaceship."

"Who knew such a crazy thing would happen?" Jiang Ran shook his head.

If this kind of thing was placed in Jiang Ran's era, it would be as unreal as the president of a certain country's special plane being bombed when he took a special plane to attend a multinational summit.This is an extremely low-probability event that is almost impossible to happen, and the craziest thing is that it really happened.

This probability is probably only a little higher than Mars hitting the earth.

"Forget it, I don't want to. The struggle for the throne is really scary. Has your family always been like this?"

Jiang Ran made a joke.When asked by her, Qi Lian showed a wry smile: "It's always been like this, every generation has to fight like this once. Don't look at me as the crown prince, it seems that my position is stable, but it's like chasing the stag, until the last moment, I still have to fight for the throne. I really don't know who will win, maybe a hidden arrow was shot out of nowhere?"

"Well, it's been hard work."

"I have already realized it."

As the wind and snow grew stronger, they put hot water into the water bags used to keep warm, returned to the airship, and slept in each other's arms on the bed.Knowing Qi Xiu's plot in advance, they escaped the explosion, and Qi Lian's subordinates also escaped like them, but if there are too many people, they will be discovered by the boss and the second, so Qi Lian only brought A few subordinates came back, and the others were scattered among the stars.And even a few of these people dispersed when they set foot on the territory of the empire, and had to go back to the main star to report to the queen through different channels.

When they returned to the empire, the optical brains they used had already been replaced by the imperial ones, but in this sensitive period, the optical brain signals belonging to them must be listed as the key receiving objects.So Qi Lian had already discarded it, because once news of her spread to the imperial capital, although it could attract reinforcements, it could also attract evil wolves.

She had no choice but to take Jiang Ran back secretly.

She can't go back to her own affiliated star, because there must be a lot of eyeliners there, and the most important point is that if she chooses to return to the affiliated star, it means that she doesn't trust His Majesty.
