Colonial Suit

#391 - afterwards

Mary Hirstein, Jimmy Jia. [ ]

The large hole left by the Blood Eye was shockingly conspicuous, with thick smoke billowing out of it, forming a striking plume in the sky. The data core on the 77th floor was a complete mess. The original massive data center was gone, replaced by a spherical, wide-open space. All the walls and floors within this range had been melted, as if a nuclear fission had occurred inside the building.

Below this data center was a huge hole that pierced through three floors. On the lowest floor were deep craters and a twisted corpse. The corpse was covered in wounds, but the fatal blow was to the head. His entire head had been crushed, like a dried-up tomato soaking in a pool of blood, a terrifying sight.

At this moment, a delicate-looking man in tight black clothes was standing next to the corpse, holding an unconscious woman in his hand.

This was naturally the terrifying Meteor-class warrior and Lier.

Feeling the bloody scent in the air, the delicate-looking man remained calm, as if he didn't see the horrific scene. He asked softly, "This is Dream Slayer?"

"Yes, Lord Joan," a Star Pirate answered tremulously. His name was Olf, and he was the only remaining Meteor-class Star Pirate among those still alive on Mary Hirstein. The other surviving Meteor-class pirates were all seriously injured, some on the verge of death. But even so, he didn't dare to be careless in front of the delicate-looking man, so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He couldn't help it... who told them that Lord Joan had come this time? 'Lomica's Shadow' Lord Joan was a famous Meteor-class Star Pirate. Before reaching the Meteor-class, he had achieved the outstanding record of simultaneously killing three Comet-class warriors and was listed by the Star Pirate headquarters as a direct warrior. Subordinate branches below Level 2 had no right to mobilize him, and Level 1 branches needed to apply to mobilize this cosmic powerhouse.

This time, the upheaval in Jimmy Jia was significant. Originally, the Star Pirates' request for reinforcements didn't include him, but for some reason, he suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It was fortunate that he came, otherwise the Star Pirates present would have had no chance of stopping the enemy. This could be seen from the large hole in the wall of Jimmy Jia and the number of casualties.

God knows where those cosmic mercenaries came from. They were too powerful. With just a few people's突袭, they almost broke through Jimmy Jia. This was the first time in the history of Mary Hirstein. Moreover, their strength was not only reflected in the leading Comet-class warrior. The two children who carried out the lure mission and the priest who carried out the blocking mission were all powerful warriors who could crush their peers. God knows when so many monsters appeared among the cosmic mercenaries.

Thinking of the companions who died in this battle, Olf sighed.

Jimmy Jia on Mary Hirstein suffered a great loss this time. To revive its reputation, it would need a lot of support from the headquarters. But now was not the time to consider these things. His first priority was to satisfy Lord Joan. Otherwise, just a word from this lord might lead to the direct cancellation of the Jimmy Jia branch.

Thinking of this, Olf didn't hesitate any longer and said in the most humble manner, "May I ask... Lord Joan... how should this matter be handled?"

"Hmm?" The delicate-looking man, Joan, glanced at Olf, a faint smile on his face. "This question shouldn't be asked to me. You are the person in charge here now. And you know, I don't care about the trivial matters of Level 2 branches."

"Yes, yes..." Olf was immediately covered in sweat, thinking that Lord Joan was indeed as arrogant as the legends said, and that this Level 2 branch was just a trivial matter in his eyes. But he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction. "But Lord... this matter... this matter is really too serious. I can't make a decision. Please help us."

"Heh..." Joan just sneered and didn't say anything.

Seeing his disdainful expression, Olf gritted his teeth again and said in a low voice, "Lord Joan, actually, if you help deal with this matter, it will also be a good thing for you. After all, although Jimmy Jia is small, it is a place that the Star Pirate headquarters has always nominally supported. If you can help solve this matter..."

Olf didn't continue, but the meaning in his words was obvious to anyone. Looking at his cautious and hopeful eyes, Joan thought for a while and smiled slightly.

"Alright. It's not a bad thing to get more attention from the headquarters. I was just passing by here, but since you said so, I'll help you."

As he spoke, without looking at the corpse of Dream Slayer on the ground, he handed Lier to Olf. "Have someone give her the best treatment. Make sure she recovers as before."

"Yes, Lord," Olf immediately ordered. Then he stood respectfully with his hands down.

Joan said indifferently, "This matter is neither small nor big. You were indeed negligent in being lured out of Jimmy Jia. But since you had her support, and the loss wasn't too great, you can push the responsibility onto Dream Slayer. Say they sent you out. The only serious issues are the destruction of the data center and the theft of data."

Speaking of this, Joan glanced coldly at Dream Slayer on the ground, his tone full of disdain. "But Dream Slayer should have been responsible for the security of the data center. He also lost the central lock chip. Why are you being polite with him? Do you still want the headquarters to give his family compensation and condolences? A Comet-class warrior who can't even do the most basic work, what's the use of keeping him? He deserves to die here."

"This..." Olf was stunned, his heart ice-cold.

In fact, Dream Slayer didn't make any mistakes in this incident, and he even died protecting the data center. He shouldn't be held responsible in any way. Even if the news returned to the headquarters, he might be posthumously honored and his family given great compensation.

But if the news was reported as Joan said, Dream Slayer's reputation would be ruined. He wouldn't be able to escape a major dereliction of duty, and might even be accused of cowardice in battle. This would definitely be a serious blow to his family.

What Lord Joan said was simple, but it was equivalent to letting a Comet-class Star Pirate die in vain, and even implicate his family.

"What? Reluctant?" Noticing Olf's hesitation, Joan said with a sneer.

"No... I wouldn't dare," Olf was immediately covered in sweat and hurriedly agreed. He didn't dare to disobey Joan in the slightest now. Otherwise, if Joan abandoned them, they would be the ones who suffered.

But... this matter isn't over yet... there are also those escaped cosmic mercenaries...

"Have you found any clues about those cosmic mercenaries?" Joan asked, seemingly unintentionally, while rotating a ring on his finger.

"No... no..." Olf was shocked and hurriedly replied.

"What a waste," Joan shook his head and said, "According to what you said, the few little guys who escaped earlier probably can't be caught. Since they dared to come to Mary Hirstein, they must have prepared a way out. But the Ghost Domain is not an ordinary star field, and there are limited ways to enter and exit. So they must not have gone far yet. Immediately arrange for people to investigate the entrances and exits of the Ghost Domain. Maybe you can still catch their traces."

"As for the last Comet-class cosmic mercenary..." Joan pondered, and the scene of the Blood Eye tearing open the anti-space came to his mind again. After hesitating for a while, he said.

"He forcibly entered the anti-space. My mental sense couldn't lock onto him. But he's just a Comet-class warrior. He definitely won't survive for long in the anti-space. Either he'll die inside, or he won't be able to get too far away. So... I suspect he might still be on this planet. Immediately arrange for people to conduct a global search. Notify me immediately if you find anything unusual."

"He's still on Mary Hirstein?" Olf was really shocked this time. He never expected that the terrifying Comet-class cosmic mercenary was still here. But he was very puzzled. It was said that anti-space was a forbidden zone for life, and only cosmic warriors above the Meteor-class could enter. How did Lord Joan know that he could still survive?

"Don't underestimate the enemy," Joan's voice became serious. He remembered the eyes of the Blood Eye when he fought him. Those blood-red eyes.

"That cosmic mercenary is not simple. I bet he won't die."

"If that's the case, I'll organize a search immediately." Hearing Joan say this, Olf was immediately excited.

This incident had a great impact on Jimmy Jia, but if they could catch a cosmic mercenary, especially the leader of this incident, it would definitely reduce their responsibility to the headquarters, and they might even get some rewards. The only thing that made Olf feel strange was, since this Comet-class might still be on Mary Hirstein, why didn't Lord Joan use his mental sense to search? A Meteor-class's mental sense should be able to cover half a planet at once, right?

"If my mental sense could find him, do you think I wouldn't use it?" Joan thought silently, watching Olf's back.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the large hole in the wall of Jimmy Jia, and falling on the dark sky...

In the last thousandth of a second, his mental sense had been released and scanned the vicinity of Jimmy Jia. But to his surprise, it seemed that some force near this planet could weaken the clarity of mental sense, making his scanned structures gray and completely failing to obtain any useful information. Considering the black fog and Blood Specters unique to the Ghost Domain, Joan felt that the Ghost Domain was extremely strange and indeed worthy of the headquarters' attention.

But in any case, the Star Pirates still had a dominant force on Mary Hirstein. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a seriously injured and dying guy.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Joan's mouth.

Little guy... just take this as a test for you. If you can escape this time, I won't tell about you and that woman. I'd also like to see the scene when you meet again in the future.

Thinking of this, Joan suddenly let out a hysterical laugh. The voice was full of malice.

At the same time, somewhere on Mary Hirstein.

In the dark space, a tattered black shadow suddenly wriggled...!
