Chapter 185

After the other side briefly explained the situation of their entire interstellar space, the old prime minister temporarily acquiesced to the communication between the two sides.

Although the opponent's pity sounds true and false, it seems that the ancient god crisis has really broken out on the opponent.

And without Ye Ruian on their side, would they covet our side...

The old prime minister turned around and gave an order: "Tell Aaron to be on standby at all times. If you find that the other side has any signs of wanting to abduct Ye Ruian, immediately force him to go down and bring Ye Ruian back."

"We are different from those stray dogs on the other side. We have enough time."

The old Prime Minister said with narrowed eyes.

The subordinates quickly told Aaron the news.

Aaron, who was so bored that he started yawning in the oasis, naturally agreed and even sat directly in the mechanical equipment.

——Be ready to lift up the roof of the ruins to rescue people at any time.

Aaron was outside the ruins, ready to protect our rare species at any time. Inside the ruins, everyone was chatting happily.

"...Our optical computer is now covered in blood and flesh. It looks a bit disgusting, and the holographic projection is a bit unclear because of this."

Ert spoke to himself across from him, complaining about the situation of the optical computer.

It’s amazing that even though they didn’t share pictures or videos with each other, they still believed that the other person was themselves.

However, Ert also guessed the reason why the superiors were unwilling to exchange videos and pictures.

——The amount of information in the pictures and videos is too huge. If the other side of the world can really come over, they are simply sending their own military information to the other side.

The other side probably has the same idea.

They also didn't mention sharing pictures and videos.

"Just be content. Our optical brain has turned into a parasite. Yours is still your own flesh and blood. God knows where this optical brain grew from. It even has breath and won't let go of my flesh."

Ert on the other side complained in the same way, and Ert on this side also started to grimace when hearing this.

"Oh my god, that sounds disgusting."

"It's actually quite disgusting. Where are you now?" Ert on the opposite side agreed and asked.

Ert looked at the house in front of him, walked to the nameplate and said, "We are now at Del's house. My God, their garden looks so big. Mom has always wanted a garden like this."

Ert on the other side was strangely silent for a moment, then said in a somewhat strange tone: "Mom wants a big garden?"

"My mother said that before I left. She had wanted me to retire, but now that I have to go on another mission, she started to worry again. But I have to say that her worries were right this time."

Ert didn't notice that he was silent. He said without any guard: "If I can return safely this time, I can save enough money. Then I will retire and buy three shops to rent out, and buy a house with a big garden for my mother..."

Ert on the other side listened for a long time before speaking: "...When you enter Del's house, be careful of the alarm in their room. Don't play with the small red thing. It's a lighter from the Middle Ages. I know how attractive it is to me, but don't play with it. That little thing can trigger the alarm and start the sprinkler system in the whole room."

"Believe me, you don't want to know how much data this water has destroyed."

"Oh my God, I have to be careful then," said Ert gratefully.

Ert was caught off guard and was diverted to the topic by himself. He did not mention anything about his mother again. However, they were in a small room under the public channel throughout the whole process, and their conversation was directly put into the main brain.

The mastermind marked this conversation as pending, as it was not sure whether there was any danger. Fortunately, the conversation between the two Ertes was normal afterwards, and there were no major mistakes. It was basically just jokes and the Erte on the opposite side instructing himself.

The situation was similar for the other people, except Ye Ruian, who had no one on the opposite side. He could only watch his teammates chatting happily with regret, while he was searching for information everywhere according to Ethan's instructions.

"The medieval characters on this study room indicate that this should be the room for the children of this family. Their family should have been wealthy in the Middle Ages."

Ethan was talking to Ye Ruian on the other end of the phone through the microphone, and his serious working attitude also attracted the attention of the people around him.

Everyone present had something to do, even Leander and Theodore, who had just been lamenting that they had no place to use their skills, started to get busy.

Now only Si Heng and Feng Li were left as mascots.

Of course, this is actually the time for them to learn. Some federal officials have already begun to assist others present with great insight.

Only Si Heng and Feng Li remained in their positions due to their reserve. However, the result of their reserve was that the only person who could gain experience by watching them was Ethan.

Although Feng Li also admired Ethan, Ethan's C-level mental strength meant that even if Feng Li had some respect for Ethan, it would not be that much.

——So this person is handling his domestic affairs through the optical computer.

But Si Heng was different. The girl he liked, Su Xin, only had D-level mental power before her mental power mutation was detected. However, he still fell in love with her because of her character and abilities.

So out of respect and curiosity for Ethan, he unconsciously began to pay attention to what Ethan said. He was in a position where he could see the conversation between Ethan and Ye Ruian.

Ethan also saw it. He nodded to Si Heng to show that he didn't care, and then continued to talk and instruct Ye Ruian.

"…This is the boy's room. It's quite large, and there's even a small study. Go take a look at the materials on the desk—they're textbooks, the ones they need to study. Look under and in the middle of the textbooks. Students in the Middle Ages liked to put some things in the medieval books."

As Ethan spoke, Ye Ruian on the screen followed his words and began to flip through the pages. Sure enough, he found a small notebook that should be a diary in the middle of a pile of books.

"Professor, this notebook has a purely mechanical lock. There is no solution on the optical computer. He just suggested that I just pry it open."

Ye Ruian's voice came from the holographic screen in front of Ethan, and Si Heng also frowned. He had played with this purely mechanical lock before. He could either make a mechanical device and try slowly, or he could only pry it open violently.

"Aim your drone's light at the junction of the rotary combination and the lock. Do you see it inside? Turn it until you see a groove. That's it. Turn all six combination locks so that the grooves face outwards."

Ethan was not trapped by this question. He thought for a while and said directly.

According to Ethan's method, Ye Ruian actually opened the groove. Ye Ruian was immediately excited, and Si Heng on the side was also quite amazed.

"Professor Ethan, where did you find this ancient knowledge? It's amazing."

Si Heng was not stingy with his praise. There were very few artifacts of this kind of code, let alone the solution.

"I sorted out the internet posts and graphic tutorials from the Middle Ages lately. I just wanted to give it a try. Some of the things from the Middle Ages were basically the same, and now it seems that they are similar in the code book."

Professor Ethan said with his cheeks slightly flushed by the praise, and then he went back to work.

——Ye Ruian opened the diary, and the mysterious Chinese characters appeared on it.

Ethan quickly translated it. He originally thought it was some important document, but after reading the beginning, he felt a little amused.

"It's just that a child found this text in the study and taught himself so that his parents couldn't understand his diary."

Si Heng was quite nervous at first. After all, those mysterious Chinese characters had become the iconic characters in the ruins. Now that they appeared in a diary, it was naturally frightening.

Fortunately, it’s just a child’s diary.

Si Heng was thinking about it, but when Ethan translated to the end, his expression suddenly became serious. He urgently called the old prime minister, and Si Heng was also blocked outside the confidentiality protection.

Something seems to be wrong.

"By the way, where did Ye Ruian go? You can't run around here. You know that if you get lost in this place, you may never find your way back."

Ert on the opposite side seemed to remind him kindly, and Ert also reacted and started calling Ye Ruian, and Ye Ruian looked a little tired, as if he had seen some news with too much information.

Ert suspected that Ye Ruian knew some clues, but he just raised the book in his hand tiredly and said, "I couldn't decipher this code book just now. I finally pried it open. The code book is full of Chinese characters. Professor Ethan can't understand it. I can only take it back and see if I can translate it."

Ert immediately dispelled his doubts, and only then did he notice that Ert on the opposite side had not spoken for a long time.

"I was just busy. I'm glad you're alright. One of our people almost walked to the church. If it wasn't for Mr. Ye's shout from your side, one of our people would have been hit."

Ert on the other side said, and it sounded like there was nothing wrong. His tone was still lively, but a little tired.

Ert sighed, then said a few words to his other-worldly self in a comforting manner.

Fortunately, Ert on the opposite side quickly cheered up.

"So you have to watch out for everyone and make sure they don't go to the church. If they go, they really can't come back."

Ert on the other side spoke seriously, which made Ert feel a little uncomfortable, but he still agreed.

After meeting up with Sett, Ert told Sett about this matter. Sett would naturally not seek death, but out of curiosity, he still asked Sett about the church opposite.

"...Church? It's a little dangerous inside, but don't believe Ert. That guy almost got stuck in there because he volunteered to cover the rear. All the electronic equipment inside is out of order, and the energy of the statue is very strong. We are experiencing some abnormalities now. I didn't tell you before because it's not a glorious thing."

Sett on the opposite side spoke calmly, which made him more credible than the anxious Ert.

But even if it wasn't as scary as they imagined, they didn't plan to go to church.

——They are not the world waiting for them to save them, there is no need to offend them, just analyze them slowly and bit by bit.

Seti thought about it and shared the news with other team members.

The other two teams reacted in the same way as Sett.

—Hold still for the time being to avoid an irreversible disaster.

After reaching a consensus, everyone started searching for information again.

This time, the Orc Empire team chose an ordinary-looking coffee shop. There was a big flower wall at the entrance. When they walked in, they realized it was fake. It was just made to look like the real thing, which made these interstellar citizens quite disappointed.

But it was a pleasant surprise to find a small staff dormitory above the cafe.

What made them even happier was that the people living in this dormitory had the habit of writing diaries. What made them even happier was that this diary was so detailed that it recorded most of what happened in a day.

Everyone immediately took action and started looking for it.

While Ert was looking for it, he started chatting with himself on the other side.

"——I plan to retire after this mission is over. I've made enough money. These missions are too dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll either turn into a monster or die here."

Ert complained: "That little idiot still wants to join the army. He only cares about his brother's majestic appearance and doesn't see that his brother is worried about his life every day, right? Really."

The little idiot that Ert mentioned is his younger brother, and from the way he addresses you can tell that he is his biological brother.

Ert on the other side was silent for a while and then said, "I remember that the little fool was about the same age as Ye Ruian, but Ye Ruian seemed to be more stable."

"Ye Ruian is still steady. This kid directly scolded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of several unfamiliar expedition members. The key is that this matter was also spread on the Internet. The whole galaxy knows that Ye Ruian despises His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ert said this with a smile, and also told the subsequent gossip, which lasted for half an hour.

Just when he wanted to ask where Ye Ruian was, Ert suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Ye Ruian? You are searching in such a small place, he shouldn't be out of your sight for too long, right?"

Ert immediately realized that he had indeed not seen Ye Ruian in the past half hour - he had not even heard his voice!

Now Ert felt a little uneasy.

But something more disturbing came.

——When he turned on the locator, he found that Ye Ruian’s location had disappeared from the map!

Now Ert couldn't sit still anymore and immediately called Seti.

"Captain, something bad has happened. Xiaoye has disappeared!"

This scared Seti a lot. Ye Ruian’s locator disappeared?

Is the opponent finally ready to attack, or has Ye Ruian encountered some trap?

Now Seti didn't even have the heart to read the diary and rushed out of the cafe immediately. He had to inform everyone about this matter to see if he could find Ye Ruian.

However, just after coming out of the cafe, Seti turned around and his heart, which had been lifted up, almost jumped out of his throat.

They saw Ye Ruian, who had just made them look for death, on the ladder.

——And the ladder is on the outside wall of the church.

It was the church's exterior wall that they had emphasized to everyone a thousand times before.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Ert let out a sharp explosion.

*

When Ert screamed, Ye Ruian was standing on the ladder with his hands in the window, doing something unknown.

After Ert's scream, Ye Ruian almost fell off the ladder. Fortunately, the exoskeleton was self-balancing and stable enough to allow Ye Ruian to walk down the ladder steadily.

——Including the robotic arm in his hand and the books on the robotic arm.

All the people who were attracted by Ert's scream just now: "..."

All the members of the expedition looked at Ye Ruian in shock. Even the old prime minister on the starship and the persons in charge at the work desks were stunned.

Finally, Ert came to his senses after hearing his repeated calls from the other side.

"…No no no bro I'm fine, I'm just a little shocked."

Ert said to himself opposite him, and Seti, who reacted second, took a step forward and picked up Ye Ruian from the outer wall of the church like a chicken.

"Ye Ruian! How dare you go to church!" Seti's angry roar resounded through the sky, and even Ert on the opposite side heard a little bit of the sound.

"Ye Ruian went to church? Is he okay?" Ert's voice on the other side was shocked and distorted.

"He's fine, he looks lively, but the captain looks like he might have high blood pressure because of this guy."

Ert said sympathetically as he looked at the veins bulging on his captain's forehead.

Ert on the opposite side finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he spoke with disbelief in his tone.

"How dare Ye Rui'an go to church, and sounded like he was alone?"

Ert on the opposite side said this, and before Ert could answer, he heard Ye Ruian trying to refute Seti's words - or trying to quibble.

"I didn't go inside the church. Of course I know I can't go inside, and I also know that electronic equipment will malfunction inside, so I just stood at the window and changed the mechanical arm I used to manually operate it. Don't you see that there are no problems now?"

Ye Ruian seemed a little guilty at first but then he became more and more confident as he spoke. He also showed off his trophies while he spoke.

"Take a look at these books. They are full of valuable information and there are also some pictures. Although I can't understand them, Professor Ethan will definitely understand them. Just take them back."

Ye Ruian became more and more excited as he spoke. In contrast, Seti and the other captains on the other side looked increasingly gloomy.

The old Prime Minister on the starship also had a rare unhappy expression on his face. He seemed to see his own fragile and precious antique porcelain vase jumping high and pushing him to the edge of the cliff.

Even though he allowed going to the church to get the information, he instructed Ye Ruian to find a chance to let Seti go with him, at least his safety would be guaranteed.

To put it more coldly, it doesn't matter if Seti dies, as long as Ye Ruian is alive.

Yes, the task of going to the church to get the book was given by the old Prime Minister.

Those people on the opposite side were too wary of the church. Although it seemed to be for their own good, their goodness lacked the most crucial point.

Be vigilant.

It was as if all the people on the other side were missing a string in their brains. They answered whatever was asked. Even though they were very subtle, the old prime minister gradually discovered this.

At this time, they were actually persuading them not to go to church, and after learning that they had no mission to go to church today, they relaxed.

No one would believe that there is no problem here.

However, the people on the other side did a very good job in covering up this matter. If it were not for the old prime minister's suspicious character, no one would have suspected the people on the other side.

Then, just as they wished, they would just explore the periphery today.

Unfortunately, he was there, and he had a great treasure like Ye Ruian in his hand. The opponent must have misjudged Ye Ruian's ability, which revealed this flaw. If I guessed correctly, the opponent would soon take measures to stop them.

but……

——Who asked the big baby to go get the information by himself?

The old Prime Minister roared in his heart.

Should he praise Ye Ryan for being smart, for actually keeping his promise and not going into the church but standing at the window and using a mechanical arm to take the book?

I don’t know if anyone else would have such a unique way of thinking.

At this time, Seti on the screen had already started to teach Ye Ruian a lesson, which made the old prime minister rarely have a good face towards people outside the Federation.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the public channel, which made the old prime minister's heart sink.

"Mr. Ye Ruian, please forgive me for hearing about your behavior from the team members and for wanting to say something."

The old prime minister's voice sounded a little more tired: "But young sir, your behavior today was really a bit reckless."

"I know you will think that I am here to teach you a lesson, or to show off my status as an elder. But..."

"I just want you to know that life is precious and you only get one."

"——Especially after we finally found out what happened to you in our world."

The old prime minister on the opposite side made a big revelation as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Young sir, you are already dead in this world."

*

On the screen, Ye Ruian's original disdainful expression was instantly replaced by shock, and even Ethan looked up at the big screen.

The old Prime Minister immediately realized that their delaying tactics really worked, and he had no clear reason to stop them.

——Especially since this matter involves Ye Ruian’s life.

Ye Ruian was shocked for a long time before he came to his senses and spoke hesitantly on the public channel.

"How did I die in that world?"

The old Prime Minister opposite said bluntly.

"He died on his way back to visit his relatives on a remote planet. Some people suspect that it was the orc prince who did it."

This sentence made everyone present turn their heads to look at Feng Li, especially Ethan, whose eyes were filled with fear and anger.

The old prime minister on the opposite side spoke calmly, but his voice carried an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Because this sub-orc exposed the fact that Prince Feng Li threw all the female orcs who admired him enough to confess their love into the opposite sex prison, he could no longer survive in the orc capital planet, and the Ye family severed ties with him."

At this time, on the big screen, Ye Ruian had already started to make a scene. The three captains could hardly hold him down. Everyone who had access to the private chat channel could hear the insults directed at Feng Li.

At this time, the old prime minister was still speaking, his voice calm but with a hint of despair.

"And the day after he left, the orc prince got engaged to Ye Yu. On the third day, Ye Ruian's adoptive parents were beheaded because of an argument with someone. There was no chance of saving them. On the fourth day, he died on the starship from excessive grief."

After hearing this, Ye Ruian fell strangely into silence.

The expedition members around her were afraid that he would do something bad when they saw her, so they made preparations for battle with trepidation.

However, Ye Ruian did not take action or go crazy. He just opened the light brain in his flesh and blood openly and contacted the Orc Emperor who was watching the live broadcast just now.

"Your Majesty, I hope that when I return to the starship, I won't see Feng Li anymore - otherwise Admiral Aaron will be happy to help me kill Feng Li and change my nationality at the same time."

Before the embarrassed orc emperor could say anything, Ye Ruian just thanked him and hung up the phone, then turned around and cursed loudly into the public channel.

"Feng Li, I'm gonna fuck you!"
