Him and their stars

Gongsun Qing nodded suddenly and quickly took out the triangular sign he got from the assassin from his lapel. This thing has been made into a pendant and kept close to your body.

Ash sighed: "It's been a long and arduous journey, and it should finally be the last step."

Taina rolled her eyes: "How difficult is this? We only spent two weeks, and we were all in the central star region."

"... We were just wandering around on a planet in the New Yumen. Isn't it difficult?" Ya Xiu shrugged: "However, if a typical movie unfolds, when we use this sign to open the final mechanism, we have been The big villain hiding behind will suddenly come out."

In addition to this brand, you should also need a password. This is what I analyzed from Yu Lian last time. Gongsun Qing was just about to say this, but then he turned aside and quickly stuffed the pendant back.

She turned back and looked at the distant sky, suppressing all the elements of excitement and joy, and there was even a bit of depression and solemnity in her brows.

The two friends noticed her expression and stopped what they were doing. Ash subconsciously placed his hand on his lightsaber. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the Countess opposite her pulling out a heavy sword exuding chilling force from her palm.

We were obviously in the wilderness among the bare mountains, but the temperature suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees, as if we were brought from midsummer to severe winter in an instant.

"Someone is coming." Gongsun Qing said, and then added: "I felt something."

Yaxiu felt depressed again for a while. Since it unfolds in a typical movie style, he will naturally not be surprised by the appearance of enemies, but he is also a genuine "Ranger" who "cruises" the three rings. He will definitely not be able to defeat "Shura" in frontal combat, but if he doesn't even have the sense to detect the crisis, Even if you can't match it, it would seem too incompetent.

The old man is right. Living in the world and traveling around the world, if you want to have clear ideas, you should spend less time with geniuses!

However, he didn't have the slightest doubt. Through less than two weeks of getting along with each other, the countess has fully proved the reliability of her "wild intuition".

The young ranger still held the lightsaber and put on a single piece of goggles. This was one of the trophies he had received from the ruins of the Enlightened One in the New World. It was also the most practical treasure in frontal combat.

He looked at the reporter behind him again, and saw that she had already hid behind a rock. He took out a folded electromagnetic rifle from his backpack and clamped it, and then took out a small portable high-definition camera.

"This is my weapon!" said the reporter.

The three of them stayed alert for a long half minute. Then, black spots appeared in the sky above the steep mountains that filled the horizon.

"There are 18 ZX18 armored airships in total. On the side of the ship is... the logo of Hearth Industry." Ashian said.

"We are being watched?" Taina pondered.

The timing of the other party's appearance at this time was so clever that there was no other possibility other than secret surveillance. Although he could say this, he really couldn't imagine how the other party did it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yaxiu said loudly: "If there were any drones or people with ulterior motives following us, wouldn't they have been discovered long ago?"

No matter how incompetent he is, he can never be so incompetent. What's more, one of the three Noble Phantasms he obtained from the Enlightened One's ruins was designed to prevent tracking and surveillance.

"Yes! Why?" Taina Moen glanced at Ash, frowning, thoughtfully.

"Could it be the sky?" Gongsun Qing pointed to the sky.

"Heaven?"

"Well, military probes or something. If we are targeted from the beginning, the other party only needs to send a military probe in outer space to keep an eye on us. If it is really beyond the high-altitude orbit of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, Even we can't detect it." Gongsun Qing said.

"The cost is too high..." Ash just wanted to be speechless, but then he realized that one of them was a countess and the other was a member of the Morn family, and he was just an ordinary person with common sense.

Besides, the matter involves the Hearth Industry, so how can there be a shortage of money?

"In short, this is a trap! Yes, we have been targeted since we were in Steel Flame City! The security director named Sarang is actually a bait. I knew that Hearth Industry might be He is the mastermind behind everything!" Taina said loudly, but with a little bit of excitement in her anger: "This is big news!"

Gongsun Qing nodded silently.

"But why does Hearth Industry want to shoot Yu Lian's black gun? He is the sponsor!" Ya Xiu said.

"Can a gunshot of that level hurt the invincible King of the Sea? Don't be ridiculous, it's clearly just to confuse the public!"

Gongsun Qing continued to nod. She felt that whatever the reporter said was very reasonable, but she still couldn't help but said: "Well, I've said it before, that assassin doesn't look like a bad guy, and he can't be in the same group."

"I know, I just cursed Hearth!"

"What about the one on the boat? Is it also a bait?" Ya Xiu asked.

"Bait? Or is he also being used? Hey, it will only become clear if we continue to investigate. Xiaoqing, we can contact the association now."

Gongsun Qing shook his head helplessly: "The signal has been completely blocked! Nothing can be sent out!"

Taina stretched out her fist and knocked on her head: "Why the hell did I forget it. This is Denmot. It couldn't be easier to use the magnetic field here to build a communication shielding space."

"Okay, this is indeed something that Hearthstone can do. But why is this? Don't they like to use mud boats to create people? When will they do such delicate work?" Ashi couldn't understand. .

"Maybe it's because we can only investigate further if we are at the front." Taina continued to think.

Gongsun Qing nodded repeatedly, feeling that what the reporter said was right. This little friend, who has only been together for less than two weeks, has a good brain, a nice voice, and a lot of enthusiasm. He is much more reliable than the inhuman couple.

In fact, before the New Year holiday, Gongsun Qing had already enthusiastically entered into the investigation work and directly used the contact information given by Yu Lian to find Taina and Ya Xiu. At that time, the two were quarreling.

One said that she was going to work as a field reporter in the Fermor Star Territory where the two wars broke out again, but she was not planning to leave in half a year; the other would be assigned to one of the most remote planets in the New World to manage the newly established guerrilla forces. He wanted to be an instructor in the Military Academy, but he was not ready to go at all.

As a result, the two of them planned to elope and travel around the world. However, there were still some differences as to where they were going to escape, and whether they were really escaping or pretending to be escaping.

However, this is not the main situation. Anyway, after Miss Taina Morn learned about Gongsun Qing's intention, she immediately showed great interest.

"When the Golden Gear Company was first split up, the seniors of the Pioneer had already raised objections, but no one took it seriously. Our printing plant in Luomen was also damaged by a dump truck. Now, this matter It also involves the Lothar rebels and the rights of Lothar workers. This is big news." Taina Moen held the countess's hands: "We are following!"

"Aren't you going to Feimo Starfield to report on the Nth Unification War? I heard that our fleets have entered the nearby fortress for a confrontation. Maybe there will be a big one." Ya Xiu said.

"They said it would be too late to set off after half a year. The confrontation started, and the news became news, which means nothing major will happen."

Gongsun Qing suddenly felt that what the reporter said made sense.

"Besides, I feel that compared to the war ten thousand light years away, what happens at home is more related to the livelihood of the people of the Alliance." Taina said.

"Well, anyway, my bodyguard contract with you still has three months left, so I have a reason not to report to the New World." Ashiu said.

In this way, the investigation team composed of three passionate young people officially began their adventure.

After all, they are two guerrillas and an investigative reporter. They are indeed responsible for finding out the truth.

Of course, it's not like they don't have any clues. For example, they already know that General Gujiao served as a military and political officer in the Lotak sector and once demolished the Royal City of the Lothar people and replaced it with commercial real estate.

According to some gossip obtained from the well-informed Miss Willambat, the descendants of the Lothar royal family are working in the split and reorganized Golden Gear Company, tightening screws in the new factory in Steel Flame City.

In addition, Gongsun Qing also showed the bullet pattern that was restored through Yu Lian's ability.

Asher Stern, who grew up in the underworld and has been a local gangster in Nephi for more than 20 years, said that of course this kind of alchemical bullet comes from a military alchemy workshop directly controlled by the government and is a special equipment, but there is also a possibility that it will flow into the black market. Some.

This is actually understandable. Even many lightsabers and light spears have been sold on the black market, let alone Cricket’s alchemy bullets?

The entire central star region, and even the alliance's large weapons black market, is actually in the Turanka galaxy.

Well, this is an important transportation thoroughfare and a military industry center. It does have all the elements of the arms market. Considering the principle of darkness under the light, it is also easy to understand that it will thrive under the nose of the central government of the alliance.

In other words, the league's top brass might be happy to hear it.

As for whether it will cause any hidden security risks to the alliance capital Nephi... To be honest, if there were not the terrorist attacks in the sky before and after the Ares Festival the year before last, even the Galaxy Empire, an evil imperial country that allows slavery, the holding of weapons by citizens above all, and blood revenge , can also mock the alliance in terms of security.

Even in Nephi as the capital star, the security in several historical cities or scientific research centers such as the Capital of the Seven Seas, Gem Coast, and Black Pearl City is pretty good.

Now you know where the habit of Union law enforcement officers from emptying their magazines comes from, right?

To put it more gloomily, if the public security is too good, and the police can become traffic inspectors and neighborhood committee bosses when they lose their jobs, it would be too shameful for the psychics of the Guerrilla Association to have nothing to do.

In short, once you have determined the general direction, you can of course take action. The three friends who formed a temporary team did not even pass the New Year's holiday and fought all the way to the Turank galaxy.

After the Golden Gear Company of the Lothar people was split up, the remaining industries were moved out of their hometown and were arranged to set up factories in Steel Flame City in the Turank galaxy.

This is a factory that specializes in producing pressure-resistant panels for cabins for warships. The products still have some technical content, but it is not a labor-intensive industry. The profit is not high and it can barely survive. Now, many Losa workers who have wandered from their hometown are working here.

Taina originally thought that, as an investigative reporter for the Pioneer, under the pretext of investigating Lothar's labor rights (or rather, it was not an excuse, but to kill two birds with one stone), she would ask them one by one to see if she could find anything. clue.

However, before she could ask a few people, Mr. Sarang, who was working as the security director of Hearth Industry, led a large group of armed security guards and surrounded the small hotel where the three of them lived that night.

The so-called "security guards" of this kind of multinational trust conglomerate may be better equipped than the regular army. Moreover, in this three-acre area of ​​Steel Flame City, the security personnel of Hearth Industry function as the police, and most of the time they are much more reliable than the police. This is also the reason why the security director named Salang came forward personally.

In short, of course one party would not reveal that he was a non-staff field agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the other party would be even less able to admit that he was a guerrilla and a reporter. They handed over the hand on the spot in the narrow "urban alley" formed by the intersection of steel fortresses and pipelines. .

With the hard power of this three-person team, it is not a big problem to bring down an entire reinforced company loaded with guns and ammunition, and it will not even cause too much damage to the surrounding neighbors. The problem was that when they had just brought down all the arrogant and arrogant Hearth security personnel, and beat the security director who was as arrogant as an imperial noble until he lay on the ground shivering, the violent explosion next door also Then it happened.

That was the site of a new chemical plant being built by Hearth Industries.

"We recently received a threat from the Lothar Free Army, saying that we would stop the construction of the factory immediately, otherwise we would take action..." Only then did Director Salang, who was bruised and bruised, have time to explain to them.

"So you doubt us?" Taina sneered.

"Who, who told you to come here at this time! I saw you sneaking around to question Lothar's workers at the Golden Gear Company, so I became suspicious."

"Then you can tell me directly? Why did you bring so many people? And you brought guns." Gongsun Qing felt that today's fight was really inexplicable.

"This is the usual style of people like them. You two eldest ladies, don't be too strange." Ya Xiu said with a smile.

"I think you are used to being a vicious dog and don't know how to communicate with people anymore. Also, I came to ask the Lothar workers of the Golden Gear, what does it have to do with your furnace?" Taina said.

"I, I used to work part-time as a supervisor at Golden Gear! Also, although the name of the factory has not changed, the largest shareholder is already Furnace."

As the security director, the construction site under my supervision suddenly boomed silently, and it happened after I took away nearly a platoon of personnel. I didn’t know what the consequences would be when I returned. When he thought of this, Mr. Salang really didn't dare to think about it anymore and simply gave up on himself. This is probably why he was so cooperative.

However, everyone ignored the opponent, because at this time, Miss Gongsun Qing, whose mobility was always faster than her brain, had already rushed towards the explosion site.

They found nothing at the explosion site, and were almost blocked by the swarming police, fire brigade, and security teams. But luckily, Gongsun Qing passed the "Eye of Karma Fire" based on the "karma" generated by the explosion at the scene. Locking the opponent's escape direction.

They pursued all the way day and night, had to cross the blockade after the city was under martial law, and even had to evade the eyes and ears of the supervisors of the Extraordinary Administration who had arrived in Steel Flame City. In this way, they overcame countless difficulties and dangers. The suspect had just been blocked on a semi-automatic freighter that was about to leave at the city's cargo terminal.
