Colonel K is a legend of the Omar Empire. He single-handedly destroyed the Star Pirates Warship, with mercilessness and cruelty, and everybody trembled at the mention of him. Lan Yu, dignified and ...
Lan Yu asked: "Who got your chip activation password?"
Luo Yang looked at him without saying anything.
Lan Yu suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and as Luo Yang remained silent, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
"So how many Longte people have come to Sasu Star?" Luo Yang did not answer. He asked other questions first, and his voice did not reveal his emotions.
Luo Yang spoke up, "I'm not sure about this, but I know three."
"Which three?"
Luo Yang looked at Lan Yu, "One is Yi Fu, who was guarding the Jia Ling Crystal on Qu Yu Star. He died not long ago."
"Yves...is he the one who killed Xu and then disguised himself as a police officer in prison?" Lan Yu confirmed with him.
Luo Yang asked blankly: "Who is Xu?"
"I worked as a cleaner in your bar for a while."
Luo Yang recalled, "I remember now, that cleaner, was he killed? I thought he quit his job."
Seeing Lan Yu staring at him, he quickly explained: "I really didn't know he was killed by Yves. Noah and Yves often come to the Black Crow Bar to meet, but I'm not familiar with them."
"Unfamiliar?" Lan Yu asked.
Luo Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "Noah and Yves both committed serious crimes on the planet Longte and were to be purged. They were the real criminals. I don't know how they managed to sneak through the interstellar channel to the Sasu system and hide here. Although I know their true identities, we usually don't interfere with each other and don't have any contact. It's just that they don't take me seriously and don't avoid talking to me, so I know some things."
Lan Yu thought the name Noah sounded familiar, and Lu Rankong reminded him, "The Lonte alien we killed in the Cactus Mall was called Noah."
Yes, Yves, who was disguised as a starship soldier, was captured on the starship. Before he died, Yves said that they had killed Noah.
Lan Yu asked: "So you are all stowaways?"
Luo Yang hesitated and said, "Yes, but I am different from them. They are really guilty of a crime."
"There's a question that has been bothering me." Lan Yu leaned back in her chair and put her finger on her temples. "Why did Noah plant a bomb in the mall? What did he want to do? Destroy that street and kill some ordinary people to expose himself? Show off his strength?"
Luo Yang looked at him in a strange way again, just like at the beginning. Lan Yu sensed something and also stared at him closely.
"If you keep acting like this and say nothing, is there any point in continuing the conversation?" Lan Yu was a little annoyed.
"You know, we, the Longte people, cannot kill each other because we have chips buried in our bodies." Luo Yang changed his posture somewhat uneasily.
"Well, go ahead."
"But if you want to kill a Lonte, there is still a way."
"What method?" Lan Yu asked calmly.
Luo Yang grabbed his collar and said, "The chip buried in the body of the Longte people is constantly analyzing the current person's thoughts. If you have the intention to kill another Longte person, it will be identified and prevent all your abnormal behavior from happening next time."
"For example?"
"For example, if I want to put some poison in a glass of wine and serve it to the Longte, my thoughts will be instantly captured and analyzed by the chip, thus preventing me from adding the poison. I want to point the gun at him, but I can't lift it. I want to ask other Sasu people to help me kill, that is, to hire someone to kill me, but I can't say that."
"It's very advanced technology." Lan Yu said, "Then how can we avoid the chip's recognition?"
Luo Yang lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "If we were not on Longte Star, but on Sasu Star, it would not be difficult to kill a Longte Star person."
Lan Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at him, and asked, "You mean, make the purpose less clear?"
Luo Yang suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "You are really amazing. You guessed it right away. That's right. As long as the target of killing is not the Longte people, the chip will not be able to identify your purpose and will not stop your next move."
"So Noah planted a bomb in the mall, ostensibly to kill a Sasu person, but his real purpose was to kill a Longte person?" Lan Yu sat up straight from the back of the chair.
Luo Yang opened his mouth but didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.
Lan Yu pressed on: "Who is he going to blow to death?"
Luo Yang looked at him without saying anything.
The room was silent. A guess arose in Lan Yu's mind. Her breathing quickened and her heart beat fast.
"Xiao Yu..." Lu Rankong noticed his abnormality and called out softly.
Lan Yu asked: "You also heard what Luo Yang said. Who do you think the Longte starman is going to deal with?"
"Or... the K from before?" Lu Rankong asked tentatively.
Lan Yu pressed her fingers against her temples, looked at the tips of her shoes, and her mind was racing.
If the local police department encounters a difficult case that they cannot handle, they always seek help from the army stationed near Bell City.
If Noah knew that Lu Rankong, one of the two most powerful officers in the army, was away on a business trip, then if the police department asked the army for help, the chances of sending K would be very high.
Even if the one sent is not K, he can continue to create difficulties until K comes. Then he detonated the bomb, aiming to kill the hostages, deceiving the chip analysis and causing K to die in the explosion.
Killing K is his ultimate goal.
Luo Yang had been observing Lan Yu's expression, and knowing that he had guessed it, he nodded and said, "You are right. The person Noah wants to deal with is the third Longte starman I know."
Lan Yu stared at his mouth, her pupils slightly dilated. He saw Luo Yang speak softly: "It's you, K."
Luo Yang's simple words were like dropping a bomb in Lan Yu's heart, causing a huge wave. He clutched the armrest of the ebony chair beneath him, his whole body frozen.
After a while, Lu Rankong said cautiously: "Xiaoyu, it seems that the K before is a Longte starman. He invaded your spiritual realm and occupied your body."
Lan Yu murmured, "Really?"
"It's not that you traveled through time and space to K's body, but that he has been occupying your body." Lu Rankong affirmed: "You are Xiao Yu..."
"K, K, are you okay?" Seeing that Lan Yu looked unhappy and didn't speak, Luo Yang asked nervously.
Lan Yu came back to her senses, forced herself to put the matter aside for the time being, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, you continue talking, I'm listening."
"Not long after I arrived at Sasu Star, my whereabouts were discovered by K. I didn't want to have anything to do with the other Longte people, so I hid everywhere. Fortunately, during this process, I met Yun Jie." Luo Yang looked at Yun Jie with a gentle gaze.
"Yunjie has been working at the Black Crow Bar. K came to the door, but he didn't seem to have any other intentions, so after a while, I let down my guard." Luo Yang moved uneasily, "Until one day he suddenly told me my chip activation password."
"I was so scared at the time. He said that as long as I helped him for the future of Longte Star, he would not do anything to me. I had no choice but to agree."
"So you are looking for an opportunity to steal the stabilizer information from the research institute?" Lan Yu asked.
Luo Yang nodded.
"Later, he brought two more people from Lonte to the bar, Noah and Yves. As for the others, I have never seen them and I don't know them, but I believe there must be more."
He continued, "K is actually a member of the Hall tribe. I don't know when he came to Sasu Star. I only know that he has been hiding here, preparing for Longte Star to invade Sasu Star again in the future. He can contact Longte Star, not only to report the situation on Sasu Star, but also to obtain the chip codes of other Longte Star people here."
Luo Yang's Adam's apple moved. "He sent Yves to guard the Kalen Crystal, and I stayed in the Black Crow Bar. I don't know what Noah is doing, but I know that these two have been discussing how to deal with K."
He looked at the corner of the wall in silence for a moment before continuing, "The three of us all know that one day, we will be eliminated, so Noah decided to take the risk and kill K."
"We can only be truly safe if he dies."
He looked at Lan Yu and asked, "Do you know why I know you are not K?"
Lan Yu replied in a dry voice: "Because I shot Noah to death?"
"Yes……"
Lan Yu asked again: "If Noah wanted to plant a bomb to kill K, wouldn't he die too?"
Luo Yang sighed, "Noah was dangerous to begin with, so it's no surprise that he wanted to die with K. According to his plan, when K arrived at the scene and found out it was him, he wanted to activate the chip, but he didn't have enough time. He only needed to detonate the bomb with the intention of killing other people. But he didn't expect that K was no longer the same K at that time. You took back your body and shot him to death."
"Take back your body..." Lan Yu repeated softly.
Luo Yang looked at him: "You are the master of this body. Your spirit body has returned. Don't you know it?"
Lan Yu sat in the chair motionless. Yun Jie looked at this and that, but tactfully kept silent.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu." Lu Rankong called out twice worriedly.
After a while, Lan Yu asked softly as if in a dream: "Who am I? Is everything I've experienced just a dream? Where am I? Lu Rankong, are you real? Or are you also a dream of mine?"
"Xiaoyu, this is not a dream, this is all real, and I am real too." Lu Rankong said anxiously.
Lan Yu murmured, "You are staying in my mind now, and telling me that all this is real. I wonder if I have actually gone crazy. All the time travel, the Longte people, including you, are all fake. It is an illusion I imagined..."
"You're not crazy, baby, just listen to me."
Lu Rankong noticed that something was not right with Lan Yu and was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he doesn't even have a body now and is still in Lan Yu's spiritual realm.
"Xiao Yu, how about you let me take control of your body now? You take a rest first and look at your spiritual realm, and I will talk to him." Lu Rankong asked softly.
Lan Yu was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. She nodded lightly and agreed to Lu Rankong's proposal.
The two quickly exchanged body rights. Lan Yu shrank into the spiritual realm, listening to the conversation between Lu Rankong and Luo Yang outside.
Their voices were clear, but at this moment they were like meaningless notes that slipped into their ears and then floated away.
"K hadn't been to the bar for a long time, and we didn't know anything had happened to him. It wasn't until we saw the news about Noah's murder that we guessed that he had been squeezed out of the body by the original owner." Luo Yang's voice came in, "I also saw Colonel Lu's interview at the time, and he made a bomb-throwing gesture towards the camera."
Lu Rankong said vaguely with a bit of embarrassment: "He is quite handsome..."
Without waiting for Luo Yang to reply, he asked again: "So where is K now?"
"I don't know..." Luo Yang said, "He can contact us through different numbers. Yves has traced the source of the numbers. They are all numbers that are not used by others and are replaced after being used once."
"So Yves was killed by him activating the chip?"
"Yes, on the day Yves died, K suddenly called me and said that bloodstains left by Yves were found in the mine on Sasu Star. He probably couldn't hide it anymore, so he asked me to hide myself well, otherwise he would die sooner."
"So after your whereabouts were exposed in the research institute, you were afraid of being eliminated by K, so you took the risk and simply started with us to force us to protect you?"
"I'm sorry, I really can't help it."
Lan Yu listened in a daze for a long while before raising her head and looking around, and found herself standing on a beach.
Looking at the peculiarly shaped pointed roofs in the distance, he suddenly thought that this might be the Chaya Star Weft Town that Lu Rankong mentioned.
Luo Yang and Lu Rankong were still talking. He kept walking along the coastline and unknowingly came to a road. The houses around him gradually increased and he came to a small town.
He stopped and looked around. This was a typical seaside town with small shops on both sides selling local specialties. When the wind blew, he could smell the scent of sea water, which was slightly fishy and salty, but not unpleasant, and even seemed very familiar.
As he moved forward, more people appeared on the narrow street.
An old woman was dozing off in front of the door, with an old cat squatting at her feet. The butcher was carving up chops with a machete while the price of meat was written in chalk on the wooden door next to him.
There were no cars on the narrow streets, and toddlers walked everywhere, with young mothers following leisurely behind.
Lan Yu looked at all this in a trance. She felt that this scene was familiar, but she couldn't remember where it was.
He walked forward slowly, and when he came to the door of a small shop with its door tightly closed, without thinking twice, he casually asked an old lady who was hanging clothes beside him: "Why is there no sour plum soup for sale today..."
The old lady continued hanging the clothes without answering or even turning her head to look at him. He stood in silence for a while and continued walking forward.
There was an alley on the right, and when he walked there, he naturally turned right into the alley. After walking on the blue brick road for a few minutes, a small courtyard appeared in sight.
The courtyard looked very shabby. Many bricks on the wall had fallen off and were piled up on top. There is a very thick ginkgo tree in the yard, and its leaves rustle in the wind.
There is an old man under the tree, sitting on a recliner with a cup of tea at his side, his eyes closed, basking in the sun leisurely.
This scene is so familiar, like a painting engraved deep in the memory. Even if it is temporarily sealed, the moment it is reopened, every line and every color is vivid in my mind.
Without any other extra memories, the affection and excitement in his heart made him clearly realize that this old man was his closest person.
"Grandpa..." He murmured naturally.
Warm liquid gushed out of his eyes. He reached out to wipe it away helplessly, but the more he wiped, the more liquid came out.
He didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to go forward. He just stood outside the wall, staring at the courtyard.
Some leaves were blown down by the wind and landed on the old man's knees. The old man opened his dim eyes, picked up the leaf, and looked outside the wall as if he sensed something.
Lan Yu held her breath instantly, and clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
The old man's eyes passed through him and looked far away. Then he turned back and called out in a hoarse and old voice: "Xiao Yu..."
"Here..." A child's voice came from the low house.
"It's windy and the weather is a bit chilly. You need to put on more clothes."
"I'm not cold, I don't want to add more."
"Xiao Yu, did you hear me? I told you to put on more clothes." The old man continued to shout.
The child raised his voice: "Grandpa, I'm not cold."
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing? Why don't you answer grandpa? Are you going to wear your new short-sleeved shirt to show that naked butt? You only think it looks good, what if you catch a cold?" The old man ignored his answer and continued talking to himself.
The child finally replied helplessly: "I know, Grandpa, I'll put on more clothes."
Miraculously, the old man heard this clearly, said nothing more, and picked up the tea to drink with a smile.
Lan Yu watched the scene with tearful eyes and began to tremble uncontrollably.
