Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Amid the chaos, they heard the man's emphasis.

When their vision became clear again, Duan Mingyuan and the others were already in a busy street. Looking up, they saw the super five-star luxury hotel that the Third Prince had mentioned. However, apart from them, there were no other pedestrians on the street.

This time, the extraditionist vows to attack in the form of a sand-eating beast.

The sand-eating beast is a special species on the planet Jiqiao. It feeds on the corpses of humans and animals. It usually lurks in the sand and will attack passing caravans when it is hungry.

Jiu Yue just took a look at the sand-eating beast on the ground and lost interest.

A big brown scorpion, it looks like it has no flesh on its body.

“It’s a matter of adapting to local conditions.”

The big scorpion on the ground said that mimicking different local creatures on different planets is a skill that every extraditioner must learn.

He felt that he needed to explain the photos on the Third Prince's phone. "Although the Chamber of Commerce intercepted my aircraft and took me aboard their flagship, I eventually managed to escape. It would be better to say that I took a ride with them. When the Chamber of Commerce found out that I had escaped, they were so angry that they could only eat crows at night to vent their anger."

There is no prison in the world that can hold the extradited person.

Although they are not strong in frontal combat, their ability to escape is first-class in the universe.

After defending the reputation of the extraditionist, Shi Yan told everyone about the current situation of the Mechanical Planet. "This is a mechanism called 'Mirage'. Although I don't know the principle, it hides the entire city. But you should have noticed that something is wrong with this city, right?"

"Ah."

Duan Mingyuan nodded seriously, "Such a large scorpion appeared on the road in this city and no one cared."

……

After a short silence, Scorpion cleverly continued the topic, "That's because only those who have registered can reach the other side of the 'Mirage'. They don't have to maintain law and order. If an unregistered person forcibly breaks in in the same way as before, he will be buried in the sand and suffocate to death... But you are right, I can't stay here for too long. The Chamber of Commerce representative took revenge and put me on the unwelcome list."

Scorpion said, "The hotel at the back is where you will stay. After you enter, the service staff will introduce the meeting arrangements to you. You cannot leave the hotel until the end of the summit. The nobles of Jiqiao Star do not like outsiders wandering around their city. It is worth mentioning that although the Chamber of Commerce will not directly intervene in the meeting, they will be solely responsible for the safety during the meeting.

"In other words, even if you have made up your mind to vote against it, don't show it to them, or you will be assassinated before the voting day."

Chapter 250 Hot Knowledge

As soon as Duan Mingyuan entered the hotel, he saw a familiar face.

The cowboy in the cowboy hat was leaning his arm on the front desk, a cigar in his mouth, flirting with the hotel's android lady.

The collision between machines seems so...reasonable.

The only difference is that the one whose entire body is replaced with metal parts is a human, while the waiter who has a human appearance and always has a sweet smile on his face is a bionic man.

Their characteristic feature is the energy ring on their forehead, which is the mark that distinguishes them from humans.

Even when she was harassed by the cowboys during work, the receptionist still kept smiling.

"Oh my god, what a narrow road for enemies."

When Cowboy Bebop heard footsteps behind him and saw Duan Mingyuan and others walking into the lobby, he immediately complained.

However, when he saw that Lan Xing was also invited on the hotel list, Coyote Twelve had a premonition that he would meet Duan Mingyuan again in this hotel.

After all, there are not many Blue Star "policemen" who can compete with the Ranger Captain.

However, apart from cigars, wine and women, there are few things that can make his blood boil, and the duel with Duan Mingyuan is one of them.

It has been some time since I left Blue Star, but the scene of the duel that night is still vivid in my mind.

He lost the duel but did not lose his life, which gave him the opportunity to reflect and review the situation. He asked for the video footage from that time and studied it carefully for a long time.

Duan Mingyuan's usual weapon is a peach wood sword, and his attacks are traceable.

So, next time I meet Duan Mingyuan, can I win?

can win!

The timing of the video showed that the speed between him and Duan Mingyuan was less than half a second, and his action of drawing the gun still had room for improvement.

So, after experiencing war and betrayal, and leaving the company as a wanted criminal for many years, Coyote Twelve felt that his skills had been improved, and he once again looked forward to the day when he could exchange ideas with Duan Mingyuan.

"Like I said, there's no prison on Blue Star that can hold Cowboy Bebop."

Coyote Twelve used these words as his opening remark and opened his arms to welcome Duan Mingyuan.

In the eyes of others, this cowboy star and Duan Mingyuan are like good friends who have known each other for many years. No one would have thought that the relationship between them is that of a criminal and a policeman.

Duan Mingyuan refused the hug and shook hands instead, politely declining Coyote Twelve's excessive enthusiasm.

"My job is to get you in. What happens next is not my responsibility."

The scenes are friendly, but the dialogues are intriguing.

The amount of information was so huge that it was difficult for the Third Prince and others to figure out what kind of past the two had experienced.

"Do you know?"

The third prince asked.

After all, former Long Branch Guards like Coyote Twelve are well-known in the universe. "I wonder what the relationship is between you and Teacher Ming Yuan?"

"What is our relationship?"

Coyote Twelve thought for a moment, then smiled. "Well, I know there's a good bar in this hotel. The drinks in the bar are very good, and there are many hot girls. When you pack your luggage, come to the first floor to find me. I'll be waiting here."

After experiencing a duel between men, they can be considered friends.

Cowboys never play tricks on each other. After meeting, they go straight to the local bar and get drunk, which is more effective than anything else.

"No, we haven't been to the bar."

Duan Mingyuan immediately clarified.

Jiu Yue's shocked look made him feel flustered, which was rare for him. "I don't plan to go to the bar either."

"Oh, that's a mistake."

Coyote Twelve noticed the eye contact between Duan Mingyuan and Jiu Yue, and quickly said, "I just slipped up. What I meant was that there is a good book bar in this hotel. The coffee there is very good, and there is a lot of hot... uh, hot knowledge."

It was obvious that he didn't like reading and didn't have any decent knowledge.

This wasn't the first time he had encountered this situation.

In the past, some brothers in the Rangers Regiment started families early, and many of the problems were solved within the regiment.

The Rangers were tough and no one knew who was on top at night. Coyote Twelve had provided cover for his subordinates many times, but he didn't expect Duan Mingyuan to get married so early.

But considering Jiu Yue's beauty and the fact that she was an extremely rare fox demon, she understood Duan Mingyuan.

He continued to forcefully explain, "You must be tired after all this traveling. Go back to your room and rest. We can go to the book bar to read together another day. By the way, I am the security captain assigned to you by the Chamber of Commerce. If you encounter any problems in the hotel, you can come to me."

The next step was to check in, and Coyote Twelve turned his attention back to the beautiful android lady in the hotel and talked about his experience as a Cowboy Bebop.

He is different from Duan Mingyuan. An interstellar wanderer like him is destined not to belong to any one person. Although he has wandered across most of the universe, he has never discussed some hot knowledge with bionic people.

"Is this security captain reliable?"

Entering the elevator, Tang Qianqian couldn't help but question.

The security captain looked sloppy and seemed to be the same type of person as her.

"If you mean fighting, he's reliable."

Even though Coyote Twelve lost to him in the duel, Duan Mingyuan still spoke highly of this Cowboy Bebop.

Coyote Twelve did not give in to depravity after his defeat. Instead, when they met again, his aura was even stronger than the last time they met.

Yang Ping also became interested, "Is he very strong?"

This was his first time dealing with a strong man outside of Blue Star. He carefully observed Coyote Twelve. His entire body had been transformed into metal, and his usual weapon should be the old-fashioned revolver at his waist.

However, it was difficult for him to imagine how this weapon, which seemed slightly outdated even on Blue Star, could be adapted to interstellar combat.

"Former Nagaeda Konoe, there is no more resounding golden sign in the entire universe than this."

The third prince said.

He once thought about hiring a Nagaeda guard at a high price to serve as an instructor in the court and teach them some advanced space combat methods, but the people on the committee didn't even look at him.

Not to mention Nagaeda Konoe, even the substitutes were hard to see.

The Third Prince explained, "Although these people are nominally security personnel, they have a very high status in Universal Company, and executives at the level of department directors all respect them."

If we ignore Duan Mingyuan's combat capability, the Ranger is to Changzhi like a pirate who has just entered the Grand Line encountering the top Seven Warlords of the Sea. Once they start fighting, they will most likely be wiped out.

"Then why doesn't he work in the company anymore?"

This was the question asked by September. She now had a very bad impression of Coyote Twelve - this man actually dared to invite Mr. Ming Yuan to the bar to pick up girls in front of her!

The harm caused by a bad friend is often unimaginable.

"There are many conflicts of interest in the company. Someone like him who is independent and can't get along with the people above him is destined to have a hard time getting ahead in the company."

The last time he helped investigate the Shan tribe's exchange, the Third Prince also found out some information about what happened to Coyote Twelve and the Rangers.

Today, the Rangers and Hot Sand Star have become history, leaving only Coyote Twelve as the lone commander.

This former ranger is undoubtedly a tragic figure, having become a victim of the game between the Long Branch Committee and the consortium.

As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the designated floor.

Compared to the deserted streets, the interior of the hotel was bustling with activity.

In the lounge, the summit board members in suits and ties sat together in groups of three or four, discussing the conditions of their respective planets and their prospects for this summit.

But if you look closely, you'll find that most of their expressions are a little unnatural.

According to the latest survey, the number of votes supporting the merger of Universal Company and Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce has exceeded 70%. When the representatives in the lounge talked about this topic, they were all full of praise, and it sounded like they were racking their brains to find the positive and optimistic side of it.

Duan Mingyuan felt that this was related to the security personnel that were everywhere on the entire floor.

Surveillance cameras are everywhere, as well as patrolling drones. Two security guards wearing exoskeleton armor are guarding the door of the lounge. Unlike the seemingly nonchalant Coyote Twelve, these two men are serious and stand there like door gods.

Although the summit delegates also brought bodyguards, after experiencing multiple plane crashes, no one could treat the security personnel forcibly arranged for them by the Chamber of Commerce with a normal attitude.

Soon, a man wearing exoskeleton armor and whose face could not be seen walked towards them.

His voice sounded polite, yet there was a certain sense of indisputableness. "Hello, representatives of Blue Star. I am the security consultant assigned to you by the Chamber of Commerce. My code name is 4423. The environment of Jiqiao Star is somewhat special. If you have any travel plans, please be sure to communicate with me in advance to avoid safety accidents."

"Hello."

Tang Qianqian, a logistics staff member of the Ranger, took the initiative to hand over the task to 4423.

She was very familiar with this job. When she and Duan Mingyuan worked together to complete a project in the company, most of the handover work was done by her.

"I'm Tang Qianqian, a logistics officer of the Ranger. I don't have a code name. If you have anything you need to discuss with us, you can come to me."

At this point, the situation on the Mechanical Planet has become roughly clear.

To control the number of votes, the first thing to do is to control the representatives of the summit. Duan Mingyuan has enough reason to suspect that their rooms have been installed with surveillance and eavesdropping devices. Every word they say in the room will probably fall into the ears of the Chamber of Commerce.

Cut off the connection between representatives and let them make judgments in the unknown.

The only designated meeting and communication location is the public lounge on each floor. Security personnel are stationed at the door 24 hours a day, so there is absolutely no "safety issue" involved.

Upon learning the bad news, September went crazy and condemned the Chamber of Commerce's behavior a thousand times.

This seriously affected her normal nightlife with Mr. Ming Yuan!

Especially after meeting that Cowboy Bebop, she came up with new plans after taking a bath.

Reality can often refer to games to a certain extent.

When a team of adventurers arrives in an unfamiliar area, their action values ​​are often limited. Adventurers with better physical strength will have higher action values. How to make good use of the action values ​​and make the most beneficial plan for the team's exploration is the key to measuring the player's wisdom.

Mr. Mingyuan's action value is obviously limited.

Therefore, as long as she drained Mr. Mingyuan's action points in advance and left him without action points, he would no longer be able to go to the "Book Bar" to explore some hot knowledge with his friends.

Chapter 251 Stubborn Disease

This hotel named "Gear" is the most luxurious hotel on the Mechanical Planet. Whenever there is a large-scale event, the Mechanical Planet people will arrange for foreign guests to stay here.

The entire building has more than a hundred floors and is equipped with almost every facility you can imagine.
