Lu Rankong stared at the navigation screen, locked onto the other starship displayed on it and chased it closely. The two starships successively broke out of the Gositi atmosphere and headed into the vast space.

Lan Yu finally woke up from her stupor and felt that the surroundings were very quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps.

He had a brief amnesia and couldn't figure out what he was doing. After closing my eyes for a while, I finally remembered the speeding black car, the winding mountain road, and the green shadow that was enlarging in front of me.

Lan Yu focused his mind and looked outward. After careful identification, he found that this was the operating cabin of a starship, and his body was controlling the starship, flying to a certain place in space.

He wanted to move, but an invisible force suppressed his entire body, as if he was embedded in concrete. Every inch of space around him was filled and solidified, and he could not move at all.

Just as Lan Yu summoned her mental strength to resist, she heard her own voice: "Awake?"

He did not respond, but continued to fight for the right to his own body. However, this Lonte alien was obviously much stronger than the one he met in the confinement center, and he failed no matter how many times he tried.

"Don't bother, you can't break free from my mental restraints." said the voice.

Lan Yu stopped and was silent for a while before asking, "Are you K?"

"what you think?"

"I don't know..." Lan Yu said.

The voice did not answer the question, but only laughed briefly: "You can call me Certu."

"Just enjoy the starry sky outside, or just chat with me." said Etu.

Lan Yu looked at the star navigation map in front of her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"What do you think?" Etu said as he operated the buttons to adjust the direction of the starship.

Lan Yu thought for a moment and said, "We should go to Qichu Star."

"Smart..." Etu laughed, "We are going to Qichu Star."

"You can't make it..." Lan Yu said calmly, "The jump point to Qichu Star has been closed, and an automatic defense system has been deployed around it. If an unknown star ship approaches, it will be immediately attacked by artillery fire."

Etu said meaningfully: "If you don't try, how can you know whether you can get through or not?"

He stretched out his hand to enlarge the navigation map, and separated a floating screen to hang on the right. Lan Yu saw that there was another starship on the floating screen, just a few hundred kilometers behind him.

His heart began to pound.

Etu pointed at the ship and said, "Colonel Lu is chasing us."

On the Flying Eagle, Luo Yang pointed at a small light spot on the floating screen and asked Lu Rankong: "Can we catch up?"

Lu Rankong did not answer, but just stared straight ahead, his lips tightly pursed, his brows furrowed, and his handsome face full of coldness.

Luo Yang shut his mouth awkwardly and said nothing more. Lu Rankong then said, "We are all moving at full speed now. We can't catch up."

"Is there any solution?"

Lu Rankong pushed a floating screen in front of him and tapped on it a few times. A star map appeared with five routes, each leading to a star.

"There are five jump points in this direction, three of which lead to the barren planet, and one to the mining planet." Lu Rankong closed four routes, leaving only the last one, "They are going to this place."

"Viya Planet?" Luo Yang identified the introduction of the planet at the end of the remaining route.

Lu Rankong did not answer, which was considered as his agreement.

"Viya Star, this name sounds familiar..." Luo Yang recalled, and suddenly exclaimed, "If we want to go to Qichu Star, don't we have to pass through the jump point of Viya Star?"

Lu Rankong kept adjusting his hands, saying, "K is going to Qichu Star."

His voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard, but anger was brewing in his dark eyes.

Luo Yang's expression suddenly changed, and he almost jumped up from his seat, shouting: "We can't let him go to Qichu Star. He wants to open an interstellar channel. We must stop K at all costs——"

"Stop arguing..." Lu Rankong interrupted him harshly.

Luo Yang had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.

"We will pass the first jump point in five minutes. You will drive the starship." Lu Rankong's tone was full of command. "He won't allow us to dock. I have to force the docking manually."

"Manual forced docking...but will we be able to catch up with them when we pass the jump point?" Luo Yang asked.

"Can you fly a starship?"

"Yes..."

"It's fine as long as you know it, don't worry about it."

Lu Rankong explained: "The starship will slow down when passing the jump point, we take that opportunity to rush forward."

Luo Yang stammered, "If we don't slow down after passing the jump point, the starship will easily lose control."

"Didn't you just say that you must stop K no matter what?" Lu Rankong untied the protective device on his body and got out of the driver's seat. "I'll be responsible for docking, and you'll be responsible for making the starship move at full speed."

"But, but..."

"Don't say buts. Just go full speed if I tell you to." Lu Rankong interrupted him rudely, "Change to the driver's seat now."

Luo Yang had no choice but to move to the driver's seat. Lu Rankong came to the stern of the cabin, opened the closet, and took out a pressure-resistant space suit.

He put on his space suit, adjusted the intercom, and said to Luo Yang: "Because this is a forced docking, the hatch will be opened later. I will seal the rear cabin now. Just go full speed ahead. Leave the rest to me. Do you understand?"

"I understand..." Luo Yang replied with sweat all over his forehead.

The navigation woman's voice echoed in the cabin: "There are two minutes left to the jump point. Please slow down to a safe range."

A transparent safety screen rises between the rear cabin and the cockpit, which allows free passage but ensures that the air pressure and air in the cockpit will not be affected by the rear cabin.

"There is still one minute to the jump point. Please slow down to a safe range." The female voice was still giving reminders, and a rapid alarm sounded in the cabin.

Lu Rankong placed his hand on a large ring on the bulkhead and took a deep breath.

"Luo Yang, don't panic. If you catch up with that starship within a minute and then slow down, our starship will not get out of control."

"I, I can't guarantee it." Luo Yang panted nervously.

Lu Rankong buckled the safety rope connected to the ship wall to his waist and said, "If you can guarantee it, I believe you."

"Warning, warning, the starship is going too fast. There are 30 seconds left to enter the jump point. Please slow down to a safe range as soon as possible."

Amid the female navigation voice and the sharp and piercing alarm sound, Lu Rankong turned on the visual screen in the pressure-resistant space suit, and the external image of the starship appeared on the upper left side of the transparent mask.

"Twenty seconds."

"Ten seconds."

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the starship enters the jump point."

As the starship rushed into the jump point at top speed, the hull shook violently, making a harsh sound.

A patch of colorful spots and lines appeared on the upper left side of Lu Rankong's mask. He stared at it without blinking, holding the ring tightly in his hand.

"They're slowing down. They're just ahead." Luo Yang's voice came from the intercom, his voice changing tone due to nervousness.

Lu Rankong also shouted back, "Keep charging, and get to their ship's door and parallel to it within a minute."

The starship jolted more violently and began to sway from side to side. The pressure of being pulled by space seemed to tear it into pieces.

"We're almost there, get ready." Luo Yang continued shouting.

Lu Rankong did not reply, his eyes always fixed on the screen on the upper left side of the mask.

"We're here..." Luo Yang shouted again.

"Slow down now and keep pace with them." Lu Rankong ordered.

"I have slowed down and am now parallel to them, within a centimeter of them."

"Test the pressure outside the ship."

“Within the range that the human body can bear.”

As Luo Yang finished speaking, Lu Rankong exerted force to rotate the ring, veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the ship door was forced open.

The rear cabin was originally empty, with only a bucket left by a preheating worker. The plastic bucket was torn into pieces the moment the ship door was opened and flew out of the door.

Lu Rankong's pressure-resistant space suit prevented him from being torn apart, but he was still flown up and was caught by the safety rope on the cabin wall.

He pulled hard on the safety rope to grab the ring again, let out a loud roar, and continued to turn the ring with difficulty in a flying posture.

The docking device extended from the ship's door and leaned against the Eagle's ship's door about one meter away, and kept issuing warning sounds: "Warning, the other starship is not allowed to dock. Warning, the other starship is not allowed to dock."

Lu Rankong remained unmoved and continued to turn the ring, tentatively adjusting the distance of the docking device.

After a click, the ship shook slightly, all the sharp whistles and alarm sounds disappeared, and the opponent's ship's door opened automatically.

"Connected, connected to that starship." Luo Yang's excited voice came from the intercom, "Colonel Lu, you actually know this docking method. Their ship door is indeed opened."

Lu Rankong pressed the button on the wall of the ship, adjusted the air and gravity, and fell from mid-air.

He replied: "This is a method I learned from the space pirates. By using the docking device at a certain angle, it can confuse the other party's hatch closing system and open the ship door."

"Hurry up, there are only two minutes left to connect, so don't worry about this ship now." Lu Rankong bent his body and entered the docking channel, and Luo Yang followed.

Inside the belly of the Flying Eagle, Etu kept looking at the screen in front of him and said to Lan Yu with a smile: "You saw it too, right? Colonel Lu is really interesting."

Lan Yu was so nervous that she almost choked. After hearing what Etu said, she replied, "He has always been very good."

"It's amazing..." Etu's voice sounded very calm: "The guests have already boarded the ship."

Lu Rankong quickly drilled out of the docking channel and entered the belly of the Flying Eagle, with Luo Yang following closely behind.

"Colonel Lu, Luo Yang, long time no see." Etu still had his back to them and was looking forward, greeting them.

Listening to this familiar voice and looking at this familiar figure, Lu Rankong's eyes instantly turned red.

He stared at the person in front of him without blinking, began to take off his pressure-resistant space suit, threw it aside, took out the injection from his pocket, and walked straight over with big strides.

I don't want to hear the whole story or ask anything else. I just want to stick the injection into his neck and get him out of Lan Yu's body as soon as possible.

The ship door behind him closed with a click, and the Kite was forcibly detached and slid into the vast space.

Lu Rankong had only taken a few steps when he felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been hit hard by something. Then there was a moment of emptiness, and his body felt so light that it seemed to be floating.

He instantly realized that he was being invaded, but still tried to stay awake and calmly get through the initial dizziness.

No matter whose spiritual realm this Longte alien goes to, he and Lan Yu can use injections on each other.

His vision gradually became clearer and the buzzing sound faded away. He saw the control panel and the starry sky, and knew in his heart that he had arrived in Lan Yu's spiritual realm.

Lan Yu's body was freed and she could continue to use injections to treat him.

Just as Lu Rankong was about to talk to Lan Yu, he saw himself slowly turning around and facing "Lu Rankong".

But he just stood there without any movement.

The "Lu Rankong" on the other side was not nervous at all. He stretched his body and said, "Finally, we successfully boarded the ship."

Then he strode forward, breaking the injection in his hand with a click as he walked, and said, "Etu, we are almost close to Wei Ya Star. We can make preparations in advance."

"Yes, sir," Lan Yu replied.

Lu Rankong reacted at this time, and at that moment he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His whole body went cold, and he suddenly looked at Luo Yang who was still standing at the stern of the ship.

Luo Yang seemed to be aware of his gaze, and said bitterly: "K invaded Yun Jie's spiritual domain before, and Yun Jie and I couldn't beat him."

"Warning, a defense network has been detected ahead. Please change routes in time." The female voice of the navigation staff sounded, bringing Lu Rankong back to his senses.

He saw "Lu Rankong" raise his wrist and start dialing the terminal, imitating his usual tone and saying anxiously: "General Liu, immediately shut down the defense network of Weiya Star and open the jump point."

Liu Deng's voice rang out in the cabin: "Why do you want to shut down the defense network of Weiya Star and open the jump point? Where did you chase that Longte star?"

"There's no time to explain. Just believe me and do as I say. I can catch that Longte alien." Lu Rankong's voice was decisive and affirmative, with a strong sense of confidence.

Liu Deng raised his voice, "Are you crazy? What if you are chasing that Longte star and let him go to Qichu Star?"

"Don't worry, we are driving a civilian ship, and there is no Galen cannon to open the interstellar channel after the jump. But if we don't open it, I'm afraid I will hit the defense network. How will you explain to my father then?"

The voice of "Lu Rankong" was imitated perfectly, even the changes in tone were the same as his own.

"Turn on the video and let me see."

"Lu Rankong" turned on the video, and "Lan Yu" beside him nodded to Liu Deng, then pointed the camera at the control panel, showing that it was a civilian ship.

"K and I are here together. We have already docked with the starship piloted by the Lunt people. We are heading over now, and we also brought the injection with us. Can we lose such a good opportunity? You can trust K and I completely."

Liu Deng hesitated.

"Don't hesitate. We must catch him. The starship has already docked. If we don't shut down the defense network, I'm worried that he will crash into it and K and I will be doomed."

"I can't make a decision on this matter. Give me two minutes."

Liu Deng hung up the terminal, and called again two minutes later.

"Emperor Chengfa has agreed to your application, and he has another message for me to tell you. You must pay attention to your safety. You would rather give up the mission at the critical moment."

"clear……"

"Lu Rankong" hung up the terminal, turned his head and looked at Etu, and slowly smiled: "Colonel Lu, Colonel K, I believe you are looking at me, please allow me to introduce myself."

"My name is Evelyn. I am from the Hall tribe of Longte Star. When I was on Sasu Star, I used to use the bodies of many Sasu people, so I have many names."

He paused and added meaningfully: "Of course, the name I use the longest is K."

After saying that, he stood up, and under the gaze of Etu, he reached out to flick the star navigation maps on the floating screen.

"In fact, I never left Chen Yuqin's body. I just played a little trick and pretended to be unconscious in the woods. One of my subordinates used Lin Zhu's abnormality to attract your attention and entered the hospital. At that time, Yun Jie was on the side of the road. I was Colonel Jiang, no, with the help of Etu, I switched from Chen Yuqin's body to Yun Jie's."

Evelyn pressed the buttons on the console and asked casually, "Do you understand what's going on now?"

"Come, look at this, let them see it too," he said to Etu.

Certu walked forward and looked into the hidden recess under the control panel, where there was a row of red control buttons.

"See? This is the launch button for the Galen cannon." Evelyn smiled and said, "I prepared these two starships there in advance. After modification, the Galen cannon was installed on the civilian ship."

"I originally wanted to injure the emperor and bring him aboard, but I didn't expect you two to get involved. That's fine, it has the same effect anyway, and we can still achieve our goal."

Lu Rankong withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.

When he opened his eyes again, the rage in his eyes had disappeared, and his dark pupils were bottomless.

He no longer looked at what was happening outside, but just looked around and found himself in a dark room.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with only a sofa-like chair with a strange texture, like flowing liquid.

There was a door on the left wall, and he walked over and pushed it open carefully.

This room was just as simple as the outside, with only a bed against the wall, also made of liquid. There were bubbles rising slowly in the middle of the bed, but they were able to strangely solidify into shape.

There was a person lying on the bed. The moment Lu Rankong saw him, he rushed over: "Xiao Yu..."

Lan Yu had been keeping her eyes on the picture, but when she heard Lu Rankong's voice, she quickly looked away.

He blinked, sniffed, and said hoarsely, “Were you squeezed in by Evelin?”

Lu Rankong said: “Yes, Evelin squeezed me out and got here.”

He reached out to pull Lan Yu, but before he touched her, he felt like he touched a transparent wall and could not move forward any further.

"Etu used his mental power to imprison me, and I can't move." Lan Yu said somewhat aggrievedly.

Just as Lu Rankong was about to speak, he felt the air around him suddenly become sticky, like thick syrup, wrapping around his hands and feet and starting to feel heavy.

Lan Yu noticed that something was wrong with his movements and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Before Lu Rankong could answer, he heard Etu's voice, "Nothing, I just used some of my mental power to build a cage for him."

Etu sighed and said, "The mental power of the Longte people is the strongest. Colonel Lu, you should just stay in there and have a good sleep."

Lu Rankong ignored him and said to Lan Yu: "Xiaoyu, we are spiritual bodies now. You can concentrate your mental power and only talk to me. Etu won't be able to hear you."

"Um……"

Lu Rankong stood beside the bed, trying hard to reach out and pull Lan Yu, but the air gradually stagnated, as if it had a solid body, making him like a small insect in amber, finally unable to struggle.

Seeing Lan Yu lying on the bed and looking at him, he said, "Don't be afraid, there will be a way."

Lan Yu replied: "I'm not afraid..."

Through the transparent wall of the starship, you can see a grayish-white planet, cold and dead. There was a black round hole hanging in the sky above the planet.

“We have arrived at Wei Ya Star. Liu Deng has removed the control network and the jump point has been opened.” Evelyn chuckled.

Etu replied respectfully: "My Lord, we have made preparations. Once you open the interstellar channel, the army will come immediately."

Luo Yang had been standing at the stern of the ship. No one paid any attention to him. He looked around and quietly grabbed a metal water cup in his hand.

Lu Rankong struggled a few times and said to Lan Yu, "Xiaoyu, we can't take turns to use force."

Lan Yu stopped struggling and asked, "What should we do then?"

"The mental power of the Longte people is indeed strong. We have to concentrate our mental power together, remove the restraints on you first, and let one person out." Lu Rankong said.

"Then let's give it a try..."

Lan Yu closed her eyes, concentrated her mind and fought against the force that was suppressing her, and pushed with all her might. However, just like every attempt before, the iron cage did not move at all.

Just when the stalemate occurred, another surge of mental power came in, fierce and powerful, with a familiar aura, and merged with his mental power.

Lan Yu's heart was lifted, knowing that this was Lu Rankong.

The two mental forces pushed outwards together, filling each other's gaps. Gradually, Lan Yu seemed to feel a slight fluctuation above, and cracks appeared in the airtight prison.

"Do you feel it?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"I feel it. Let me count. One, two, three."

The two of them exerted their strength together, and the opposing force gradually retreated, leaving a small space around Lan Yu.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his mental power suddenly burst out, gathering into a sharp beam and piercing straight into a crack.

The crack widened and split in the middle, unable to bear the weight. Lan Yu felt her body suddenly relax, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

After the two mental forces rushed out of the gap, they slashed towards Lu Rankong in front.

Just like a cold blade splitting a river, the invisible yet perceptible mental cage instantly shattered into thousands of pieces, turned into dust and disappeared into the air.
