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 ...
"Even if Ayong works for one of the largest companies in the galaxy, he only makes about a million credit points a year." Lu Rankong put down his crossed legs and leaned forward slightly. "Where did he get the money to invest tens of millions in your movie?"
Mrs. Fang showed a trace of panic. She smoothed the hair hanging on the side of her face. When she looked up again, she had adjusted her facial expression and regained her composure.
She sneered and said, "Who knows if you are military officers or not? Are those documents forged? What if you are just reporters in disguise? I am also a person of status and position. How could I possibly reveal my true information?"
"Use your terminal to identify it and you'll know if it's authentic." Lu Rankong raised his military officer ID again.
Mrs. Fang didn't move, she just turned her head away.
Lan Yu weighed the bottle of facial cream sent by the nursing home in her hand, walked up to her, opened the lid and asked, "Mrs. Fang, is this the facial cream you use?"
Mrs. Fang glanced at him sideways and asked impatiently, "Why, you guys are also concerned about this?"
"Is it you who uses it?" Lan Yu asked again.
Mrs. Fang sneered, "You want me to give it to you? That's right, such an expensive cream, I guess you can't afford it with a year's salary."
Lan Yu lowered her head and screwed the cap on. She said indifferently, "Before I left this morning, I used some cheap face cream given by the nursing home. It's exactly the same as yours. The bottle and the cream are the same, but the quality is not very good. It's a bit greasy."
After saying that, she raised the face cream in her hand, rotated it half a circle, and read the small words on the bottle: a gift from the sanatorium.
He smiled again and threw the cream on the table beside him.
"Who are you and what is your purpose?" Mrs. Fang was about to open the terminal in her hand. "I have to call security."
"Do you recognize the injection in my hand? This is my purpose." Lu Rankong raised his right hand to her, with a silver-white injection between his fingers.
Mrs. Fang's face turned pale instantly. She glanced in the direction of the baby's crib and said, "Are you going to inject me with anesthetics? Are you trying to kidnap me and threaten my husband?"
Lan Yu walked to the door calmly, locked it, and then moved closer to the crib.
Lu Rankong turned the needle in his hand and said casually, "Don't pretend, and don't have any ideas. Let's talk it over. You are definitely not K. You must have been called here by him, right? If you reveal his identity now, I can let you live."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything. Please let me go. My daughter is still so young. Don't hurt me. If you want money, I can call my husband now. I can give you any amount of money..." Mrs. Fang's voice began to tremble, and she looked very weak and helpless.
"Don't waste time with her. Notify the military and let them handle it." Lu Rankong said, "This person has a talent for acting. Maybe he is really an actor."
"Are you an actor on Longte Star?" he asked Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang's face was filled with fear and a hint of indignation. "My profession is an actress, but I have never been to the planet Longte."
Lan Yu's face gradually darkened, his eyes like two sharp swords, and he suddenly shouted: "Since you say you are an actor, do you know the basic breathing and vocalization of performance language? Do you know the comprehensive use of stress, pauses, and intonation? Do you know the performance methods of different themes, styles and schools? Do you know how to face the camera?"
He took a breath and continued, "Answer me. If you answer correctly, I'll let you go. If you can't, tell me immediately where K is and what identity he is using! Otherwise, there's no need for the military to interrogate me. I can execute you right now."
After the conversation, there was a moment of silence in the room. Mrs. Fang and Lu Rankong both stood there in a daze.
After a moment, Mrs. Fang opened and closed her lips several times, but said nothing. She just looked at the crib.
Lu Rankong had been keeping an eye on her movements. He took two steps towards the crib, picked up the sleeping baby girl and held her in his arms.
Wow!
The baby girl who was awakened started crying loudly.
With a bang, the door of the room was pushed open. The three of them looked over and saw Ayong standing at the door.
He looked inside the room and said hesitantly, "My information was recorded in the information lock before. I heard my daughter crying. Don't go too far—"
“Go!”
"Get out and close the door!"
Lu Rankong and Lan Yu had just finished speaking when they saw a green shadow emerge from Mrs. Fang's body, pass by Ayong through the open door, and quickly disappear.
Lan Yu followed him out the door. Lu Rankong ran to the door holding the baby girl, stuffed her into Ayong's arms, and rushed forward as well.
Ah Yong hugged his daughter tightly, watching the green shadow disappear at the stairs, and pressed his chest with a trembling hand, "What is that?"
The green shadow flew up the stairs, followed closely by two people behind, and they all quickly reached the sixth floor.
As Lan Yu stepped into the passage, she heard deafening wails. He looked at the green shadow in front of him and his heart skipped a beat.
The sixth floor was full of babies. No matter whether the Longte people were using the babies to threaten them or had entered the body of any baby before they caught up, they had no way of finding them.
After all, babies cannot be interrogated.
Green Shadow quickly rushed towards the door of a nursery, stopped, turned left, and prepared to rush into the nursery.
During this one-second pause, Lan Yu rushed forward suddenly, then leaped up and pounced on it, holding the silver-white injection in her hand.
The green shadow turned his head to look over, and when Lan Yu was about to pounce, he suddenly disappeared.
Lan Yu only felt a buzzing in her head and lost consciousness in a very short time.
Then, he heard the sound of the injection in his hand falling and breaking, and heard Lu Rankong shouting "Xiaoyu".
He felt that some force was suppressing him strongly. The oppressive feeling made him panic subconsciously and he began to fight against this force.
"Get out of his body, you bastard." Lu Rankong's angry shout came into his ears, and then he heard his own voice, "Don't come over here. If you take one step forward, I will throw this baby to death."
The baby was crying heartbreakingly, and Lan Yu's confused mind finally began to clear up.
He realized that he had been invaded by the Lonte people and a baby was being held hostage.
This feeling of being rudely invaded and having one's body seized was very uncomfortable, and it was completely different from the last time when Lu Rankong was squeezed into his spiritual realm. The entire spirit was filled with rage, and it kept resisting instinctively to fight for the right to the body, but it was suppressed again and again and could not move.
Lan Yu turned her gaze to look outside and saw Lu Rankong standing at the door, holding a needle in his right hand, with a suppressed and cruel look on his face.
In front of him were two chubby legs flapping around, and a baby was being held above his head.
"Let me go, or I will throw this kid to death and then jump out of the window." Lan Yu heard her own voice.
Lu Rankong's expression did not change, but his left hand hanging by the side of his pants trembled twice imperceptibly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I will let you go, don't hurt them."
"Stand out, don't block the door."
Lu Rankong moved slowly and retreated into the passage.
Lan Yu's ears were filled with the sharp cries of children. The nanny placed the remaining babies in a small bed and hugged them nervously.
Several smart childcare workers encountered someone threatening the lives of babies. They didn't know what to do and stood blankly by the wall, motionless.
Lan Yu saw herself moving step by step towards the door, the baby in her arms crying at the top of his lungs, his legs flapping.
"Break the injection in your hand." He ordered Lu Rankong again, his voice cold and brutal.
He saw Lu Rankong slowly raising his right hand holding the injection, and he became extremely anxious. He withdrew his gaze and retreated into the spiritual realm, once again using all his strength to fight for the control of the body.
The spiritual body of the Longte people has the innate advantage of invading the spiritual realm. It is extremely powerful, like a giant steel cage that tightly traps Lan Yu.
No matter how hard he shook the iron bars, the cage didn't move at all.
"Hurry up, don't drag on, or I'll throw him to death right now." The cold voice was filled with anxiety. The baby seemed to be hurt. The crying stopped for a moment, and then became even sharper.
Lan Yu panted and closed his eyes, then concentrated again, using all his strength to crash into the cage regardless of anything.
The mental force that was suppressing him to the point of suffocation began to change. It was no longer an unbreakable iron wall. It gradually softened and turned into layers of silk threads that wrapped around his body, which was airtight and extremely resilient.
Lan Yu desperately tore at the silk threads, trying to find a breakthrough. I kept repeating in my mind: I want to feel my fingers, my feet, my breath…
There seemed to be a ray of light coming through from the left side, and a crack appeared in the layers of tangled silk threads. His heart was shocked, and he used his hands and feet to pull at the crack, tearing it with his hands and kicking it with his feet.
Lu Rankong stared at the Longte alien in front of him without blinking, taking in every change in him.
Because of nervousness and concentration, sweat slid down his forehead and fell silently to the ground.
"Hurry up, I don't have much patience." The Longte alien grabbed the baby's feet, with cruelty in his eyes.
Lu Rankong looked at the baby who had been struggling, and finally raised his right hand holding the injection in front of him, and then he put his left hand on it to hold both ends of the injection.
"Break it, break it quickly." Lan Yu, whose body was occupied by the Longte alien, had excitement in his eyes, "Break it quickly..."
Lan Yu finally opened the gap and got out of the prison formed by mental power in one go. Without even taking a breath, he began to hold his breath and fight for the control of his body.
Lu Rankong keenly noticed that the Longte man's expression suddenly froze, his eyes lost focus, and he stared straight ahead.
Maybe it only took him a second to judge, maybe less than a second. He pounced forward like a cheetah and inserted the needle in his hand into Lan Yu's neck. He pressed hard and all the medicine was injected instantly.
Lan Yu felt the force that was against him suddenly disappear. He staggered and fell to the ground. When he looked up again, the scene in front of him stunned him.
A long corridor with light grey tiled floor, black doors on both sides and a silver dry cleaning machine at the end of the corridor.
This familiar scene is the dormitory corridor of the Zata Star Military Camp.
He slowly stood up and turned around, and saw that the door of dormitory 301 was wide open. A man in military uniform was standing in the corridor facing the door, his face hidden in the shadow of the light.
At the door of Room 301, there was a man in a T-shirt and shorts lying unconscious, with his legs and feet inside the room and his upper body lying in the corridor.
The officer's body began to spasm. He reached out to hold onto the wall, his back rising and falling rhythmically. Lan Yu could hear his painful gasps, as if he was struggling with something.
After a moment, he regained his composure, stood up straight, straightened his collar, then turned and walked towards Lan Yu.
Click, click, click…
The long leather boots hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
He stopped not far in front of Lan Yu, turned around, opened the door, and turned on the light.
Bright light filled the room, filtering through the doorway and illuminating his face.
He entered the room expressionlessly and closed the door with a click.
Lan Yu reacted and realized that this was the scene she had just traveled through, and now she was in the memory fragments left by K.
Lan Yu stood there in a daze, with ripples of water-like scales rippling around her, and the whole scene began to fade and blur.
When exiting the scene, Kong Fei's panicked voice was heard: "Colonel K, Colonel K, why are you lying here?"
Lu Rankong laid the unconscious Lan Yu horizontally on a small bed, patted his face gently, and called his name.
Lan Yu's feet hung on the ground, and not far away on the ground lay the body of a Longte alien.
The caregiver walked around the green, shriveled corpse and hurriedly carried the children out. The smart caregivers also followed behind, holding one child each.
Lu Rankong saw Lan Yu's eyelashes tremble, drooping like crow wings. It seemed that she was about to wake up, so she stopped talking and just stared at his face.
After a moment, Lan Yu slowly opened her eyes, adjusted the focus and looked at the person in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Did you know? The Longte people can activate the memory fragments left by their own species. I saw K."
Lu Rankong asked: "Who is he?"
Lan Yu took a breath and uttered the name clearly: "Chen Yuqin..."
"Yes, it's him. I've found evidence... Don't worry about what the evidence is, as long as it's confirmed... A mental hospital? Even if it's just outside the hospital, it won't work... I clearly said that these soldiers were suspects, but you actually sent them to the hospital."
Lu Rankong paced back and forth anxiously in the room and talked to Liu Deng on the terminal.
"Missing? He's missing?"
Lu Rankong didn't say much, he just hung up Liu Deng's terminal, turned to Lan Yu and said, "Chen Yuqin has gone to the mental hospital and is now missing."
"Are those interstellar chiefs and your father there?" Lan Yu asked nervously.
Lu Rankong wiped his face and nodded heavily.
Lan Yu stood up from the small bed and said, "Let's go, we still have time to go now."
The two men left the nursery and said to the security guard who had just arrived and was peeking at the door, "If you don't dare to go in and collect the body, just stay here. Someone from the military will be here soon."
Several security guards said with relief: "Yes, yes, yes..."
A moment later, a white van with "Breastfed Babies Are Healthy" printed on the left and "Flowers Neonatal Care Center" printed on the right was speeding on the road at the fastest speed.
Then he was easily overtaken by the luxury cars around him.
Lu Rankong drove silently, his eyes fixed on the front, his jaw clenched.
"Don't worry, he can't get in. Your father and brother are safe." Lan Yu comforted.
"I'm not worried..." Lu Rankong's voice sounded calm.
Ga! With a sharp brake sound, the van stopped suddenly. Lan Yu's body jumped forward and was buckled back into the seat by the seat belt.
"Are you okay?" they asked in unison.
An old lady carrying a small bamboo basket walked slowly past the car. Lu Rankong put his hands on the steering wheel, looking unhappy.
"Let me drive. You take a rest." Lan Yu got up and climbed towards the driver's seat.
Lu Rankong did not insist. He switched seats with him and sat on the passenger seat. Lan Yu started the car and drove towards the mental hospital.
Lan Yu asked as she drove: "Do you want to inform Luo Yang? He is also in Gositi. For his own safety, what he wants most now is to catch K. We may not be able to identify the Longte people, but Luo Yang may be able to."
Lu Rankong thought it made sense and started dialing Luo Yang's terminal.
"Luo Yang, I'm Lu Rankong. Where are you now? Do you know the Wulong Mental Recuperation Center? K has gone there now, and I need your help... Okay, we'll be there soon."
Lu Rankong hung up the terminal and said to Lan Yu, "He said he would go there immediately to meet us."
The mental hospital is on the other side of the main city, built on a beautiful mountain. When the van followed the navigation to the foot of the mountain, we saw a small starship platform next to it.
Luo Yang was waiting at the intersection, looking anxiously ahead. When the van appeared in his sight, he just glanced away and continued to look back.
Lu Rankong stopped the car in front of him, rolled down the window and shouted, "Luo Yang, get in the car."
Luo Yang was surprised, but didn't say much and got into the car quickly.
"Is K here too?" Luo Yang asked.
"Yes……"
"Stop, stop." The intersection was guarded by two teams of armed soldiers. Lan Yu immediately recognized that they were soldiers from his own mecha battalion.
He stepped on the brakes, rolled down the window, stuck his head out, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Hello, Colonel K." The soldiers removed the roadblocks as quickly as possible, stood by the road and saluted, watching the van of the confinement center go into the mountain.
The mountain road winds among the green trees, with soldiers on duty along the way. Lu Rankong rolled down the car window, held up his officer ID outside, and soon arrived near the gate of the mental hospital.
From a distance, we saw several military vehicles parked at the gate and soldiers on high alert. Before the van could get close to the gate, it was stopped in the middle of the road.
The inspection here was stricter than at the foot of the mountain and along the way. Even after showing their officer IDs, the two were stopped by the soldiers on duty.
"I'm sorry, Colonels. Except for the accompanying personnel, no one else can enter the hospital."
Anxiously, Lan Yu saw Lin Zhu walking by the woods on the left and quickly called out, "Captain Lin..."
Lin Fan lowered his head to look at the terminal. When he turned around and saw Lan Yu and Lu Rankong, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Why are you two here too?"
Lu Rankong was still negotiating with the soldiers. Lan Yu walked over and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Chen Yuqin?"
"Chen Yuqin? I haven't seen him since we got here. I guess he went to patrol the back mountain." Lin Zhu had a puzzled look on his face. "General Liu just asked me about him. Several waves of soldiers came along the way looking for Chen Yuqin. Did something happen to him?"
Lan Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.
"Chen Yuqin's spiritual realm has been occupied by the Longte people."
"What? He was killed by the Longte people—" Lin Zhu realized that his voice was too loud, and quickly lowered his voice: "How did he become a Longte person? When did it happen? We have always been together. When he came here today, he was in the same car with me."
Seeing that Lan Yu did not answer, he stammered again: "You must have made a mistake. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Do you know that the chiefs will be in danger? If you stop me outside, who will be responsible if something happens to them?" Lu Rankong's stern rebuke came from the side.
Lan Yu and Lin Zhu turned to look, and Lan Yu asked loudly, "What's wrong?"
"They refused to let us in, saying that there hadn't been any prior inspection and it was against regulations to go in now." Lu Rankong turned around anxiously.
Several soldiers said cautiously, "Colonel Lu, although we are the garrison of Gositi and have heard of you and Colonel K, you also know that this situation is unusual. We have received military orders that all irrelevant personnel who are not on duty are not allowed to enter."
"Am I an irrelevant person?" Lu Rankong's face was full of suppressed anger.
"But, but you didn't participate in the duty." A soldier replied tremblingly.
Lu Rankong kicked a tree as thick as a bowl next to him hard, and the tree instantly made a cracking sound as if it was broken somewhere.
"I don't know where Chen Yuqin has gone now, but I have to go in no matter what." Lu Rankong glanced in the direction of the gate and gritted his teeth.
Lan Yu turned around and asked the frightened soldiers, "Can you go in and help inform them? Go find the officer in charge and tell them that Colonel K and Colonel Lu have important military information to report."
The soldiers shook their heads: "None of us can go in."
One of them said cleverly, "I'll ask Colonel Wang now. He's in charge of perimeter security."
"How long will it take?" Lu Rankong asked.
"About ten minutes. He might have gone to the back hills for patrol."
"Ten minutes?" Lu Rankong raised his voice. "If there is really danger in there, ten minutes is enough for those chiefs to encounter it countless times—"
"I'll go in and help you convey the message." Lin Zhu was listening nearby and couldn't help but say, "I'm on duty and I'm also a captain. Can I go in?"
Seeing that Lu Rankong's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, the soldiers no longer dared to stop him. They seemed to think that this was okay and nodded in agreement.
One of them trotted forward and said a few words to the soldier at the gate. The soldier looked over here and pressed the remote control in his hand, and the locked door of the mental hospital slowly opened a crack.
"Don't worry, I will find the officer in charge as quickly as possible and ask him to come out to see you." Lin Zhu walked hurriedly towards the gate.
Lan Yu watched him disappear into the gate and felt something was wrong.
At this time, they heard hurried footsteps. Two soldiers brushed past them and shouted to a lieutenant colonel in front of them: "Report, we found someone unconscious in the woods."
Lan Yu had just thought that something was wrong when she saw Lu Rankong rushing towards the woods. He followed closely behind, running into the woods one after the other.
Lu Rankong suddenly stopped and Lan Yu almost bumped into his back. She looked over his shoulder and found a man in military uniform lying between two big trees.
"Chen Yuqin..." Lan Yu's heart sank after seeing his face clearly.
Without saying anything more, the two turned around and rushed towards the gate.
"Hey, Colonel Lu, Colonel K, hasn't someone already gone in to pass on the message for you?" A soldier saw Lu Rankong and the other man rushing towards the door again and quickly reached out to stop them.
Lu Rankong pursed his lips and said nothing. He took out a gun from behind and pointed it at him while running.
The soldier was so frightened that he stood still with his hands raised above his head.
