Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 220 Escape?

Song Pu got news of the failure of his men's pursuit of Cheng Xinghai just as Chen Ming rushed into the airport.

When the spaceship Cheng Xinghai boarded took off, he knew that they could no longer pursue Cheng Xinghai.

The reason is the same as what Cheng Xinghai said.

It is because of the limitations of the rebels' current situation.

But he didn't tell the bad news just now.

After all, Chen Ming was also in an emergency situation, and telling him bad news wouldn't be helpful.

It was only now that Chen Ming was safe that he revealed the news.

Engineer Hong Guanghong immediately said on the communication channel: "This simulated battle that will last for a month has just begun. It is unlikely that the beginning will directly create a fatal situation."

"Even if you give the order immediately, as long as the person reacts quickly enough, it is normal for him to run away. There is no need to blame yourself. Since the psyker is back, just treat it as a normal start."

"Everyone agrees, then I will send you the coordinates."

That is to say, after that time, the relationship between Chen Ming and his boss gradually became closer, and they began to have some relationships that were not just about interests.

With a little calculation, Chen Ming could figure out the current location of the passenger ship. It was about a quarter of the way along the route, and it would not be long before it would leave the area actually controlled by the rebels.

Song Pu emphasized again: "If there is a problem with the people on the spacecraft, any small problem will be fermented by the government forces and have a great impact on us."

His sense of smell was not very sensitive for this kind of battle, and his reaction was half a beat too slow, and he was finally blocked outside the airport.

If he could have set off a few minutes earlier, he might have run away without any disturbance like Cheng Xinghai did.

"There is no way Cheng Xinghai can compare with the most basic supporters of our rebels at present, unless...you are absolutely sure."

Hong Guanghong and Dong Miao responded quickly.

It was this scene that suddenly made Chen Ming feel familiar.

Chen Ming gave an affirmative answer: "Believe me, there are many things about my spiritual power that you don't know about."

"I agree."

"No comment"

While waiting, some spaceships would pass through this channel from time to time, but no spaceship could spot Chen Ming's spacecraft.

Chen Ming suddenly realized Hong Guanghong's problem when he said this, and said: "If you look at it the other way around, if the time is delayed for too long, it may make it more difficult to escape, like what I just did."

At this time, Hong Guanghong suddenly interrupted and said: "Okay, don't share the pot, let's discuss the plan after the psychic comes back."

Chen Ming activated the hyperspace jump system, and after a moment, he appeared in the target alleyway, close to the side of the rebel-occupied area.

However, Chen Ming interrupted at this time: "Wait a minute, I remember you said that the positions of Cheng Xinghai and I are actually opposite. We are both in a position where the hostile force is close to our own force's territory, and we are The distance between them isn’t that far, right?”

Speaking of which, it seems that the last time Chen Ming squatted as a pirate, he helped his boss squat a pirate who had no eyes to steal his colonial supplies.

"There is no need for everyone to keep silent. As long as there is no substantive evidence such as videos, photos or audio recordings, can you do it?"

When the ship was about to arrive at the junction of the areas actually controlled by the government forces and the rebels, it was the time for Chen Ming to take action.

After all, Chen Ming had been a hunter for a while, so he had a lot of patience.

Several people who had just seen Chen Ming's jump operation in hyperspace through the spy means arranged by Song Pu also understood the situation instantly.

Song Pu fell into thinking again and said after a moment of silence: "The risk is still very high, but I agree."

The hyperspace channel jump system is ready.

Chen Ming's special terminal quickly received a series of digital coordinates. These were the channel coordinates of the civilian passenger ship Cheng Xinghai was traveling on.

"The risks are high, but the benefits are unequal."

He seems to have done this before.

"it is good."

With Chen Ming also shutting down the engine and all systems that would lead to the discovery of the spacecraft, it was indeed difficult to detect it by sticking to the edge of the channel and those rolling hyperspace clouds.

All he has to do now is wait quietly for his prey to arrive at its predetermined location.

"Then I have an idea..."

"Correct."

On the one hand, the detection systems of those civilian ships were relatively weak. On the other hand, when Chen Ming built his own spacecraft, he used isolation scanning materials from a spacecraft he found at the airport that seemed to be involved in smuggling business.

Chen Ming knew Song Pu's concerns and said, "The spaceship is my home court, and I will not leave any traces."

However, Chen Ming used to be a pirate, but now Chen Ming is Cheng Xinghai.

Chen Ming's thoughts are obvious when combined with what he just said.

Song Pu agreed decisively and did not waste time on dividing the pot.

Song Pu immediately said: "It's not your problem, it's that I was too slow to remind you. I should have read it as soon as I saw the spy's documents placed in such a conspicuous position. If I saw Cheng Xinghai's information, I would have read it as soon as possible." Just remind you."

Cheng Xinghe also sent a sentence in the terminal after a while: "1."

But Song Pu did not support Chen Ming's idea: "It is best not to attack civilians' spaceships. Once you leave any traces on the spacecraft, we will be very passive."

"Can you accurately find Cheng Xinghai on a spaceship with thousands of civilians, and kill or capture her without alerting anyone or leaving any traces?"

While Chen Ming was thinking about some strange things while waiting.

Chen Ming's target was finally detected on the sensor of his spacecraft.

The civilian passenger ship, like other passing spacecraft, completely failed to notice Chen Ming's presence and was heading towards its destination at the highest speed achievable in the waterway.

Chen Ming set off immediately, boarded a shuttle boat that was also made of isolation materials and could only carry one person, and approached the civilian passenger ship at the lowest power.

After adjusting the direction and gradually accelerating to the same speed as the civilian passenger ship, Chen Ming's psychic energy was activated, and several mechanical arms instantly extended from the shuttle boat, and hung the shuttle boat on the bottom of the civilian passenger ship.

Chen Ming didn't need the passenger ship to open the docking interface, so he directly reached out and pressed it on his head. A layer of fluctuations like water surface appeared on the bottom shell of the passenger ship instantly.

Chen Ming jumped lightly and entered the semi-liquefied hull so easily.

The shuttle boat mounted on the bottom of the spacecraft turned into metallic liquid after Chen Ming completely entered the passenger ship, scattered in space, and was quickly left behind by the passenger ship.

Chen Ming, on the other hand, successfully took over the entire spacecraft without affecting the functions of the spacecraft itself.

And through the monitoring system, they found the cabin where Cheng Xinghai, who was marked by Song Pu, was located.

Chen Ming needs stability where nothing happens. It is best not to leave any traces that will be recorded. Then the impact will naturally be as small as possible.

Therefore, Chen Ming did not appear directly in Cheng Xinghai's cabin, but appeared in the bathroom separated by a corridor from her cabin.

In his hand, he had prepared an electromagnetic pistol that silently fired steel needles thinner than hair.

This thing is perfect for assassination.

Chen Ming suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart now, because he never thought that he would see such a day again.

In the past, others would assassinate him. Unexpectedly, one day it would be his turn to assassinate others. For some reason, he was even a little excited now.

But the gun in Chen Ming's hand was only a last resort.

The most stable assassination method relies on Chen Ming's own spiritual power and the spacecraft controlled by him.

Of course, Chen Ming was not referring to a crude method that would definitely leave traces, such as directly breaking the portholes of the spacecraft.

Instead, he used the tiny metal liquid he controlled to refine it to the level of atoms invisible to the naked eye, directly penetrate into Cheng Xinghai's heart or brain, and directly kill her after condensation.

However, Chen Ming discovered a problem at the moment before taking action. It seemed that his idea could not be realized.

Because the simulation has not yet reached this level of precision.

Although this simulation has a lot of details, all NPCs have extremely humane behaviors.

But it's a bit too exaggerated to want details down to the atomic level.

Chen Ming simply couldn't do this in the simulation.

Now that this method fails, if Chen Ming wants to continue to use psychic energy to assassinate Cheng Xinghai, he can only choose to use a small amount of metallic liquid.

But in small amounts it becomes a bit unstable.

A small amount of metallic liquid cannot penetrate the skin directly like atoms.

So Chen Ming had to turn the metal liquid into something like a steel needle to kill people, which was almost the same as using a steel needle gun directly.

Moreover, Chen Ming's spiritual power can only control the metal liquid to make certain things, and make some changes to the shape and position of the metal liquid.

His spiritual power may not necessarily be able to control the metallic liquid to accelerate it to the point where it can kill Cheng Xinghai with one blow.

What's more, Cheng Xinghai can always notice changes in the surrounding environment if he is a little more vigilant.

Once Cheng Xinghai discovers a problem, any subsequent actions will most likely leave evidence in the eyes of others.

"Hmm...why don't we just use this thing."

Chen Ming turned off the safety of the electromagnetic steel needle gun, hid it inside his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom wearing ordinary casual clothes.

The corridor outside the bathroom is connected to a passenger cabin separated by a door on both sides.

There are small windows in the doors that provide a view into the passenger compartment.

Chen Mingneng stood at the door of one of the doors and saw Cheng Xinghai's position through the small window.

to be frank,

If Song Pu hadn't warned him in advance, Chen Ming would have seen Cheng Xinghai put on makeup on the surveillance camera.

Chen Ming almost didn't recognize that the young woman who had gone through makeup and looked ordinary was the lively Cheng Xinghai.

After silently sighing at the awesomeness of magic, Chen Ming raised his gun and pointed it at the back of Cheng Xinghai's head.

But just before he pulled the trigger, Cheng Xinghai suddenly stood up. Chen Ming was not sure that he would hit the target, so he immediately put away his gun, his heartbeat speeding up a little unconsciously.

But he calmed down immediately.

It was impossible for Cheng Xinghai to discover him. All authority over the entire spaceship had fallen into his hands, and all communications on the spacecraft were monitored by Chen Ming at all times.

Except for a special terminal that Cheng Xinghai should have, nothing about the entire spaceship could escape Chen Ming's eyes.

Cheng Xinghai suddenly made some moves now, probably because he had something to do.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking this, Cheng Xinghai suddenly turned around and walked towards the corridor where Chen Ming was now, holding a cosmetics box in his hand, as if he wanted to go to the bathroom to touch up his makeup.

This is simply God's help, and it can completely minimize the impact of his subsequent actions.

Chen Ming retreated and came to a small corner dedicated to smoking on the other side of the corridor.

I lit myself a cigarette that I came across when I was controlling someone else's spaceship on the planet, and I was going to pretend that I was just someone who came here to smoke.

However, something unexpected happened to Chen Ming again.

He had never smoked, and he thought smoking in the simulation would be no problem.

But when he took the first breath into his lungs, the thick smoke and the burning feeling in his lungs instantly made Chen Ming cough violently.

When Cheng Xinghai appeared in the corridor, she immediately noticed the person coughing violently in the corner in front.

But she just frowned, not noticing the appearance of the person with his back to her, and continued walking to the bathroom.

Cheng Xinghai stood in front of the mirror and took out the terminal. She quickly broke off an ID card that she had withdrawn from the terminal, and quickly inserted another card into the terminal in her hand.

Then she took off the makeup on her face, untied the hair tie on her head, revealing her original appearance, and immediately put on a mask.

At the same time, with a gentle tug on her shoulders, the heavy coat on her body was taken off, leaving behind a more lightweight and convenient sportswear.

Cheng Xinghai's movements were very fast, and the combined actions before and after took only ten seconds.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Cheng Xinghai casually threw his clothes on the sink in a compartment, turned around, and prepared to leave the bathroom and walk to another passenger cabin.

It seemed that he wanted to change into a new identity directly on the spaceship to avoid being tracked when he landed.

However, the moment she turned around and left the mirror.

She suddenly noticed that the light in the passenger compartment behind her suddenly dimmed a little.

Cheng Xinghai turned around instantly and found that the small window on the side of the door behind her that she had just come from was covered with a veil-like texture, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening on the other side.

Moreover, the isolation door itself seems to be thickened a lot, and the wall also seems to be bloated.

The same change occurred on the door ahead that Cheng Xinghai was about to pass.

There was only one person except her in the corridor at this time.

Cheng Xinghai looked warily at the coughing person in the corner.

His body was tense and could explode at any time.

This is exactly what Chen Ming did.

He cut off the connection between this room and the other rooms, temporarily turning the corridor into a closed place.

The sound will not be transmitted out, and people outside cannot open the door. If it is broken for a few minutes, it will not have any big impact.

While coughing, Chen Ming raised the electromagnetic steel needle gun, pointed it at Cheng Xinghai and said: "Cough...cough cough, you...cough...ok."

At this moment, after seeing Chen Ming's appearance clearly, Cheng Xinghai immediately thought of the previous situation where Chen Ming's spaceship jumped directly in hyperspace, and instantly figured out how Chen Ming got here.

Cheng Xinghai raised his hands, slowly pressed them against the wall of the corridor, and said, "Have you never smoked?"

"No...cough..."

Chen Ming coughed and turned the muzzle of the gun. After a long time, he finally felt relieved from the pain in his lungs caused by smoking.

"Are you surrendering or..."

Before Chen Ming finished speaking, Cheng Xinghai finally walked to the wall at this moment.

Her slender legs pushed against the wall, and she burst out in the corridor at a speed that was terrifying for Chen Ming's physical fitness.

Before Chen Ming even had time to control the metallic liquid flowing out of the ship's hull to restrain Cheng Xinghai, Cheng Xinghai was already swaying in the narrow corridor and rushing towards Chen Ming.

"Fuck!"

Is Cheng Xinghai’s physical quality or his personality?

Chen Ming kept pulling the trigger while retreating, but Cheng Xinghai was often able to react the moment before Chen Ming fired.

Often before Chen Ming's fingers were fully clasped, his body would tilt slightly, easily dodging several rapidly flying steel needles, and then he would suddenly stand in front of Chen Ming and slap the gun out of his hand. .

At the same time, a punch with a cracking sound hit Chen Ming's face.

Chen Ming's thinking speed could indeed clearly see Cheng Xinghai's movements, but his body could not react.

The psychic energy that enhances physical fitness is obtained from the insect queen. Although the prosthetic body can be used, it will never be included in the simulation.

This seemingly petite fist could definitely give him a concussion with one punch.

However, Chen Ming's prosthesis is of the same physical quality as Chen Ming. Chen Ming can carry tools weighing more than ten kilograms every day, and he has been exercising all the time.

Although it is definitely not as harsh as the training methods in the army, Chen Ming's physical fitness is definitely better than that of most ordinary people.

It doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to withstand a face-to-face encounter.

Therefore, Chen Ming can still do the fastest action he can do that is most appropriate at this moment.

Without saying a word, he squatted on the spot and rolled backwards while holding his head.

Although Cheng Xinghai does not look tall and has no obvious muscles on his body, his physical fitness is a level higher than that of Chen Ming. He will definitely not be able to defeat him in a head-on fight, so he must use other means.

Chen Ming retreated, but Cheng Xinghai continued to step forward without mercy, twisting his body flexibly.

The body that exploded with terrifying speed just now drove the seemingly slender but violent whip legs to whip towards the neck of Chen Ming, who was half squatting on the ground.

Chen Ming's current movements were just right for Cheng Xinghai's height and strength.

If this kick was successful, Chen Ming might even be kicked to death. Even if he was knocked unconscious, he would be considered lucky.

Chen Ming stood there without making any movement. He seemed to have no reaction and seemed to have given up the struggle.

But just the next moment.

There was a sound of flesh and metal colliding in the corridor.

Cheng Xinghai's kick hit the neck of Chen Ming, who had condensed power armor all over his body.

Chen Ming's head tilted slightly under the impact, and at this moment he seemed to hear a crisp sound of bones breaking.

Cheng Xinghai immediately fell to the ground with a bitter look on her face, but she still struggled to crawl towards the pistol that she had just slapped away.

However, metallic liquid immediately flowed out of the ground of the hull, and the pistol that fell on the ground was directly raised and handed to Chen Ming's hands.

Along with some metallic liquid appearing out of thin air, a new electromagnetic javelin was gradually constructed.

Cheng Xinghai saw that the situation was not right and there was no possibility of a comeback. He slowly raised his body to block the small movement of his hand towards the cosmetics box.

She pulled out a steel needle from the hinge of the box and pretended to stab herself.

However, the surveillance in the corridor was always in Chen Ming's field of vision, and Cheng Xinghai's movements were invisible to him.

The metallic liquid immediately clasped Cheng Xinghai's arm, turning it into a pure piece of iron, cuffing her like handcuffs.

Chen Ming didn't have time to react when he saw Cheng Xinghai's burst of speed just now, so it will be easier to deal with it now that he has reacted.

Wearing power armor, he faced Cheng Xinghai, who was almost defenseless and even had one of his legs broken, almost face to face.

If Chen Ming still can't beat him, he really has to jump into space without wearing protective clothing.

At this point, Cheng Xinghai has completely lost the ability to resist, but the next step is a bit difficult.

However, Bai Quan's voice appeared in the ears of Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai at this moment, reminding: "In the simulation, there is no need to search the enemy of the opposite sex. She has to take out the special terminal on her body. There is nothing else except this." "

This is easier to handle.

After Cheng Xinghai reluctantly handed her special terminal to Chen Ming.

A large amount of metallic liquid instantly flowed out of the ground of the spacecraft, covering Cheng Xinghai and putting a protective suit on her.

Chen Ming bent down and grabbed the belt of Cheng Xinghai's protective suit, picked her up and put her on his shoulder.

He took her directly through the hull of the spacecraft next to her and into space.

The thickened doors on both sides of the corridor were restored to their original appearance after Chen Ming left. The wall pierced by the steel needle was also removed, leaving no trace.

This recording of the corridor surveillance video was forged by Chen Ming using technical means, and all records were deleted.

Even the clothes Cheng Xinghai had just hung on the sink in the women's restroom were fished out by Chen Ming using his spiritual power.

Except that Cheng Xinghai did disappear on the spacecraft, there was no evidence left on the entire spacecraft that Chen Ming had been there.

The disappearance of people is so common. The disappearance of one person cannot cause any waves on the scale of the entire star field, even if it is Cheng Xinghai.

Even if the government forces want to use this as an excuse for propaganda, it is useless.

Cheng Xinghai, a civilian, disappeared alone. At most, it was nothing unusual.

Cheng Xinghai, who was a spy, was captured by the rebels. Isn't that reasonable?

The government forces now have no choice but to suffer this dumb loss.
