Chapter 47
The one-horned people all look the same, but their clothes are slightly different. This is a good way to tell their status.
The one-horned man in the living room is the chief of District 1. Because of the special nature of District 1, he is naturally more noble than other one-horned men. The two male insects are talking to him.
"Sir, what do you think of our proposal?" The male insect, who was obviously older, looked humble.
"I'm very interested in your proposal, but the Falling Star Day is coming soon. During this period, even if I want to do anything, I have to wait until after the Falling Star Day."
"Yes, yes, we know that."
The young male insect next to the older male insect had a romantic and unruly face. Even at this time, he did not show a submissive look like the male insect next to him. He looked more like a young man with an unstable mind.
The unicorn man didn't care. In his eyes, most male insects were like this.
——Don’t even mention it, they wish all male insects looked like this kind of losers.
"Do what you're supposed to do, and you'll definitely get some benefits," the unicorn said, giving a pointed smile. "I don't want to see those troublesome male insects again. You know what to do, right?"
"We understand, don't worry, sir."
Qi Heng was paying attention to the broadcast on the screen and saw that they had finished their conversation and were about to end it.
From what they said, it seemed that the male insects in Area 1 were not united. The tone of this male insect always made him feel that the other party was selling out his master for personal gain.
Submitting to and fawning over the unicorn makes one look like a traitor.
Qi Heng frowned. Seeing the male insects in the video leaving, he asked, "How is the data in the microcomputer being sorted?"
"It's been sorted out. There's software here that can communicate with the research base. Most of the conversations are about Falling Star Day..." A0 said as he displayed the sorted out key chat content in front of him.
Qi Heng finished browsing and asked: [From the chat logs, it seems that the research base is not in Area 1 but outside of Area 1.]
[Is it possible that it is in the direction of the tower?]
Very likely.
Qi Heng thought he would definitely go to the tower, and he could also stop by to see the research base. It was built so far away, and he didn't know if it had any connection to the underground tunnel that led to an unknown place.
He asked without paying attention.
A0 said: "You're right. According to the scanned map of the underground tunnels in Area 1, the last tunnel entrance you saw before exiting the tunnel leads in the direction of the tower."
[Your Excellency, someone is coming up.]
Qi Heng placed the tablet upside down on the table. From the video on the system interface, he could see that A0's monitored subject was walking upstairs.
He found a suitable position to take action and let A0 cover him with full-scale camouflage, then held his breath and concentrated to suppress any unnecessary aura.
The moment the other party opened the door, Qi Heng moved and grabbed the one-horned man's neck and pressed him against the wall. At the same time, his disguise failed and his figure was revealed.
A0 was very good at handling electronic equipment, and basically without him saying anything, he detected the alarm device on the unicorn.
He pinched the ring on the unicorn's finger and used his star power to destroy it.
Qi Heng has a good brain, but since there is a faster way to achieve the goal, there is no need to stick to the formalities.
The one-horned man, the chief of District 1, probably didn't expect to be attacked in his own home, and he was completely unaware until the other party succeeded... When he glanced at the ring thrown on the ground by the person in front of him, he knew that his strength was inferior to that of the person in front of him.
It is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between male and female Zerg. In fact, since most interstellar civilizations have humanoid or human-shaped appearances, it is difficult to tell which civilization they belong to without revealing their identity, unless they have distinctive looks.
Compared to female insects that have wings and can be recognized as Zerg as soon as they are exposed, male insects are very ordinary and have no special features in this regard.
Therefore, the One-Horned Man expelled Qi Heng from the Zerg clan based on preconceived notions.
Are you kidding? How could the Zerg in the slums have the power to defeat him with one move? Rather than this extremely small probability, he believed that the other party was an outsider.
After all, he didn't think that the Zerg, who had no concept of technology, could recognize that the ring on his hand was extraordinary and destroy it right away.
Outsiders are enemies of the Ikal civilization. If they are discovered, the alarm must be activated immediately to spread the information.
"Hawk, you should know that you are not as strong as me. If you don't want to die, just be quiet." Qi Heng's tone was calm, and he was stating the facts more than threatening.
When he called out his name, the unicorn, no, it should be said that Hawke's expression changed.
The unicorns are not worthy of having names, so the unicorns on Tianyun Star all use numbers instead of names, but there are exceptions.
As the district chief of District 1 of the North Slums and also the one-horned man who manages the entire slums, in order to make him work more loyally, he was given a name by the Ikal civilization - Hawk.
There are quite a few people who know this name, and they are basically concentrated in Area 1, but it is not known to ordinary Zerg.
The fact that the black-haired man in front of me knew this name proved that he had inquired about me.
Many male insects suddenly appeared in Hawke's mind. Who leaked his name to someone who shouldn't have revealed it? Is there any other information besides the name... "
Qi Heng let go of his hand and used his mental power to suppress Hawke.
The mental power of the unicorns is generally between E and D levels, and with his current mental power, he can easily suppress Hawke.
After being released, Hawke remained pressed against the wall and didn't dare to move. The mental pressure from the black-haired man in front of him was too strong, and now he couldn't even move a finger.
"What's the matter with you looking for me?" A man of insight is a wise man, and Hawke also values his life very much.
Qi Heng stood in front of Hawke with a flawless demeanor and said in a deliberately misleading manner, "I think you should have guessed my identity. After all, the Ikar civilization's business is so big, there must be someone interested, right?"
Given the current state of the Zerg on Tianyun Star, anyone with a bit of common sense would not associate themselves with the Zerg, especially those one-horned men who serve as guardians and know how destitute the Zerg is now.
I learned from 058 that the Ikal civilization has enemies. It would be a waste of this information if I don't use it to forge an identity.
It was indeed related to the Ikal civilization, but why did they choose him? Could it be that... Hawke didn't realize that he was being led to think more and more crookedly, gradually deviating from the correct answer.
"I know there's a research base nearby, and I also know you're about to send a batch of goods off Tianyun Star." Qi Heng paused, turned around, walked to the desk, and picked up the tablet: "Perhaps you can tell me the details."
Hawke looked at the man with his back to him and felt no resistance. His expression turned a little ugly because he could hear the meaning of the other party's words.
"I can't help you with what you want to know..." Hawke answered carefully, fearing that his words would offend the other party. "You may not understand. A one-horned man like me is only responsible for delivering the goods. I don't know much else."
Qi Heng turned around, as if he didn't hear Hawke's test.
"Oh, really?"
Hawke's statement that he didn't know the following information wasn't necessarily a lie, but to say he couldn't help was pure nonsense.
Qi Heng sneered in his heart, but his tone remained unchanged: "In this case, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell me the location of the base. You must know this."
"And the function of that tower, and the information about the guy who contacted you..." He shook the tablet in his hand.
The tablet only contained chat content and some material distribution information. Even the system couldn't obtain more information without invading the network... unless it consumed energy to expand the scanning range to the range of the tower and continued for a long time.
But that would be a waste of energy. Qi Heng, who was used to being frugal, decided to start with Hawke after thinking about it. As for more information, he could wait until he infiltrated the research base to obtain it.
"Answer my questions properly and nothing will happen." That's what he thought and said. Whether Hawke believed it or not was up to him.
Even though he was in the dungeon world, the pain caused by the surge in mental power still followed him like a shadow. He endured the pain and distracted himself, thinking that maybe he could try to use the [Chains of God] to make Hawke obedient.
Trying things in the dungeon without worrying about the consequences of failure, isn’t this the very meaning of using the [Between Time] dungeon?

The author has something to say: This part of the plot is a bit stuck and there are few updates. Let's see if it will get better after I finish sorting it out. TAT
