Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

The lives of Zheng Liu and Xing, as well as unlimited chips that can be used in the Chamber of Commerce at any time.

The symbol "∞" means that as long as they are willing, they can quit their current jobs at any time and start a new life in Siyang City, which is like a cheat code.

"I agree."

Duan Mingyuan nodded in agreement. He always sought to resolve problems in a peaceful way. "Why don't you just speak frankly?"

"Wherever the Chamber of Commerce reaches, that is the border that my will can cover. You can understand the relationship between me and the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce in this way."

This is also the reason why she did not kill all the Shan people after expelling them from the Flash Star.

Overall, the Flash people are still a group of interesting little creatures. As long as they can put away their arrogance and not act wildly on the Flash Star, they can still bring her a lot of fun.

Facts have also proved that the Shan people did not disappoint her hopes. Although they lost their homes, some of them controlled many civilizations behind the scenes in the name of the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce, while others infiltrated into the Universal Company and held high positions, which enabled them to influence the company's decision-making power to a certain extent.

These are all brought by wealth.

And doing business is the eternal means of accumulating wealth.

"That's why I can say that I know this planet very well."

Having said that, Heya raised her hand and gently touched Zheng Liu's brow. Zheng Liu, who was still muttering to himself, fell asleep on the table with a "pop".

Although Zheng Liu had been in a state of self-hypnosis, she guessed that Duan Mingyuan did not want others to know what he said next.

"But on this planet, I have never found anyone like me until something happened in the court recently and you came... Transcendence, this is what Universal Company calls troublesome characters like you, but in fact they know nothing about you."

She had heard some descriptions of the Transcendents through the Semitic descendants of the Mandala Consortium.

In her opinion, it was just boring nonsense. Even within the school that proposed this concept, there were many different opinions, and everyone had a different definition of transcendent.

To sum up, there seems to be only one useful message - do not interfere with the civilization that gave birth to the transcendents.

As for the extent of the power of the Transcendents, the company has no idea. To put it simply, it is to label people like Duan Mingyuan to prove that these people are not to be trifled with.

Heya felt that she understood the Transcendent better than the company did, especially after meeting them.

Duan Mingyuan also guessed her intention and asked, "Do you think you and I are the same kind?"

"not quite."

Heya said, not intending to hide what she was thinking, "Half of it is a familiar aura, and the other half is disgusting arrogance."

A "cocoon" with a "human" feel.

Or maybe it's a "human" with the power of "cocoon".

For a moment, Heya was unable to clearly determine Duan Mingyuan's true nature. When she looked back at Duan Mingyuan's past, she discovered that he had been so deeply influenced by humans that he looked no different from a real human being.

When you walk down the street, people won’t give you strange looks, and you don’t need to be worshipped.

But when it comes to dealing with company issues, his attitude is highly similar to that of "Cocoon".

Heya felt that perhaps even Duan Mingyuan himself did not understand this problem.

"Come to think of it, you don't like looking back at the past, and you don't seem to have carefully considered when Duan Mingyuan's life actually began."

After a brief thought, she continued, "So to confirm this, I would like to invite you to enjoy a performance with me."

"show?"

"That might also allow you to foresee what the planet will look like after it 'cocoons'."

I have been laying the groundwork for the more important main storyline these two days, so I have been writing a little slowly. Please forgive me!

Chapter 220 Sparks of Thought

29 years ago, a baby named Duan Mingyuan was born in a hospital in Yunlong City, Blue Star.

There was not much noteworthy about his time until junior high school. Like many people in Yunlong City, his parents left him an apartment and went to work in the universe.

The turning point in Duan Mingyuan's life came one evening after school. He returned to the community as usual. While watching an old man playing chess in the community, he sensed an evil spirit attached to the old man's back. From then on, he began his years-long research on evil spirits. Almost all of his understanding of the life energy system was completed during those years.

Afterwards, due to the "human trafficking" of the Life Science Department of Universal Company, after causing a car accident that shocked the planet, Duan Mingyuan's life ushered in a long period of waste.

I was admitted to university step by step, and found a pretty good job after graduation, where I worked for four years.

Until, one night when he worked overtime until late at night, he met the fox demon Jiu Yue in the alley on his way home.

These are all clues that the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce can find. They have never been kept confidential, and corresponding records have been left at residences, schools, and workplaces. This is undoubtedly a fairly complete life.

However, this still could not resolve the doubts in Heya's heart.

She now threw this question to the other party, "Do you still remember when Duan Mingyuan's life began?"

It was the rainy night when the baby was born 29 years ago.

It was on an evening after school more than ten years ago when I first encountered life energy.

Or was it the night when he encountered the fox demon Jiuyue?

If she was facing a human being, the answer would be obvious, but for the Transcendent or the "Cocoon", memories and even traces of this world have no reference value.

"You should have noticed, right? This planet always responds to your expectations."

While attached to Xing, Heya also happened to hear Duan Mingyuan's insights.

He thought this was the memory modification brought about by the barrier, but the results it achieved were by no means limited to this.

Heya turned on the projection screen in the room and showed Duan Mingyuan the client's information in person. "When you decided to go to the sixth underground floor as a VIP client, it was not only the staff's memory that was tampered with, but also reality."

The registration information of Duan Mingyuan, Zheng Liu and Xing appeared prominently on the VIP customer information of Shanqi Chamber of Commerce.

Their identities are reasonable and legal, and even if the Chamber of Commerce conducts a thorough investigation, they meet all the standards of VIP customers.

And this is why Heya asked Duan Mingyuan the question.

The rainy night 29 years ago may not be the starting point of Duan Mingyuan’s life, and even the number 29 does not have any substantial meaning.

"Let's propose an interesting hypothesis. Suppose Duan Mingyuan's life began on the night he encountered the fox demon. Would your memory of the past change in any way?"

The answer is naturally no.

Whether it is life energy or barrier, this planet will always respond to his expectations.

If he realizes that there is a blank in his past, memory and reality will fill it up and create a past with traces, just like the forehistory in the film. Regardless of whether it really existed or not, it will emerge when it is needed, thus proving that Duan Mingyuan is a real human being.

"Since you think this is an idealistic question, you will never get a clear answer."

Duan Mingyuan said after a little thought.

At first, he was indeed confused by Heya's questions and began to think carefully about whether his experiences in the past 29 years had really existed, but he then realized that it was meaningless to pursue the truth in the fog.

Only the future can be given meaning.

"But it at least proves one thing."

Heya seemed to have expected Duan Mingyuan to say this, and stopped asking, "It means that you subconsciously regard yourself as a human being."

And his subsequent actions were also carried out as a "human being".

Therefore, Duan Mingyuan's position became clear.

Heya felt that this might be the biggest difference between the Transcendents and them. They would never think about problems with the thinking of humans or any creatures on the planet, let alone devote themselves to them.

"Perhaps you're overthinking it. In the end, I may just be a slightly more powerful human being."

Duan Mingyuan said.

"If that were the case, we would not have met, and the court would have been destroyed by the orbital cannon of the company's flagship."

Heya never intended to answer her questions with just one meeting. As long as their conversation reached this point, her goal had been achieved. "All the documents about planetary consciousness are in the hands of Universal Company. Most of the research on 'Cocoon' has been destroyed, but there is still a group of people in the universe who have touched these secrets."

"You mean Eisenberg-Adler?"

This was a name Duan Mingyuan had read in a magazine when he was in high school. Although he had read many issues of the magazine, this name was the only one he remembered clearly, just like...

He had a vague premonition of the purpose of Heya's visit to him, and naturally thought of this name.

In a way that seems reasonable.

"He is imprisoned in what is known as the most heavily guarded prison in the entire universe. The disadvantage of the 'cocoon' is that after leaving the planet, the power that can be exerted will decline sharply. Just like now, if you want to attack me, I will definitely not be able to continue to stay on this planet."

Heya tried to show that she was harmless. "I guess you might want to know the exact location of that planet. According to the information I got, it's very close to the venue of the next Sixteen Star Summit. It should only take less than three days to sail away on the flagship... In case you are interested in the affairs of the Transcendents, you may be able to find the answer on that planet. If you can bring Eisenburg Adler out of there, I will be happy to buy him from you."

"I will seriously consider it."

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

"Cocoon" was unable to compete with the company after leaving its homeland, which is probably why Heya couldn't save people on her own.

However, his energy was not restricted in this way. After boarding the Baptism flagship, his life energy showed no signs of decay.

This may also indirectly indicate that he and Heya are not of the same kind.

Or at least not quite the same.

"Then we have finished discussing the important matters."

Heya stretched out her body in a very human way, and dragged out the last syllable of her voice, like a white-collar worker who worked overtime until late at night. "Next, here is the gift I prepared for you. When I had nothing to do, I simulated the appearance of this planet after it was transformed into a cocoon."

As he spoke, the view on the electronic screen turned to the finale of the auction.

A "cargo" bound all over with chains, wearing a blindfold and a collar, and imprisoned in a cage for display.

"Member of the Forgotten Organization, bounty is 7900 million shells."

In this place, what can arouse customers' desire to buy more than the high bounty of 7900 million shells is the ability of the universe wanted criminal with a bounty of 7900 million shells.

This is a powerful capability that has been certified by the company and there is no gambling risk.

And this is most likely the only opportunity they will encounter in their lives.

"His captors were interstellar mercenaries hired by the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. They almost had the chance to join the Long Branch."

Heya paused, and her tone became frivolous and seductive. She bent down, leaned on the table, supported her chin with both hands, and said in a tone similar to that of a dealer, "Do you want to place a bet? In this performance, the final winner is the Chamber of Commerce, or Wangxu?"

Chapter 221 Operator

"Coyote Twelve, a survivor of Hot Sand Planet, served as the chief commander of the Rangers before the planet became a cocoon. After the entire Ranger Regiment was recruited by the company, he led the corps to be sent to seven planets for cleanup and support missions. Less than ten years after joining the company, he was awarded the status of Long Branch Candidate."

The holographic projection in the VIP compartment showed a man whose entire body had been mechanized, with only his face looking original.

The man was wearing a cowboy hat, holding a cigar in his mouth, facing the camera with a wild look.

This seems to be a photo taken on a battlefield on a certain planet. Members of the Rangers can be seen in the camera lens, and on the ground are the incomplete remains of deformed bodies. These deformed bodies can vaguely be seen as human outlines, but the flesh on their bodies has long been deformed into bone spurs and tumors.

Heya said, "This is the last clearing war that Coyote Twelve will participate in. If nothing unexpected happens, after this operation is over, he will return to the company headquarters and be formally appointed under the witness of the Long Branch Committee."

"But something went wrong during the operation."

Duan Mingyuan must once again emphasize the dangers of setting a flag. Facts have proved that it is the same whether you are an ordinary person or an officer of an interstellar legion, especially this kind of action labeled as "the last time" is often a death trap.

It seems that he respects the members of Long Branch even more.

They are worthy of being called cosmic-level powerhouses, and every member has experienced the "last" action before becoming a regular member.

"It was the company's intelligence department that made a mistake. They only detected signs of life activity of the aberrants on the surface and neglected the danger from beneath the surface. However, I suspect this was a frame-up from within the company. After all, Coyote Twelve and his Ranger Regiment were promoted too quickly and were not good at dealing with people, so they blocked the way for many people."

Heya shrugged and gave an example. "To fight on a cocooned planet, you have to be prepared to be the enemy of the entire planet. Although the power gap between cocoons is huge, even the weakest cocoons cannot be easily destroyed. In short, Coyote Twelve lost miserably in that battle. The entire Ranger Regiment was lost on that planet. In addition, there was a problem with the distress signal, and his subordinates fought to their deaths to cover his lifeboat to leave the planet."

Although Coyote Twelve survived, he became a lonely man.

And even if he was not good at dealing with people, he understood that someone was trying to trip him up behind his back.

"After returning to the company headquarters, Coyote Twelve rejected the invitation of the Long Branch Committee and submitted a leave application to the superior department. What no one expected was that he appeared in the intelligence department's space station three days later and massacred the department that submitted intelligence to the Ranger Regiment. However, he later failed to assassinate the director of the strategic command department. If he had not been rescued by the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce during his escape, he would have become space garbage long ago."

"It's a damned power struggle."

' Duan Mingyuan commented.

When introducing the background of Coyote Twelve, Heya quietly discredited Universal Company.

However, after dealing with the company several times, he felt that this seemed to be the norm for the company. It seemed to be a whole, but different departments were wishing each other dead, and the four major conglomerates were also fighting openly and secretly.

Unfortunately, Coyote XII and his Rangers became victims of internal struggles and almost got the script of Queen of Blades.

"Coyote Twelve's body was severely damaged in the years of war. The body he has now is tailor-made for him by the company. It is called "Advanced Arsenal". This armor allows him to deploy thousands of weapons at any time and in any place according to different combat environments... How about an experienced space mercenary who almost became a long-branch guard? Do you want to bet on him?"
