Chapter 137 Coward 07



Being so shocked, Shana was almost in a semi-trance state during the rest of the conversation.

"Then why hasn't he come back yet?"

She even forgot to use the honorific.

Shana heard the Alliance Leader's tone sink, "Maybe... there is some misunderstanding between us?"

Shana: ?

Oh, yes.

...trapped in the enemy camp but without waiting for the elders to rescue him, he was forced to escape on his own...

After that, it's normal for children to have some temper tantrums.

But... would that kind of kid really throw a tantrum?

——Nothing, unimaginable.

Although Shana had indeed met many geniuses while growing up, the level of this genius was beyond her imagination, so much so that she couldn't even imagine his image.

The starship arrived at the port and stopped smoothly.

Before leaving, Shana heard the other party sigh softly, "He probably thought... that he was considered a traitor..."

But no, never.

He believed and always believed.

Believe in the child who has been suffering since birth, but still insists on treating everything with kindness.

But, at that time...

He should be more careful.

He should have realized something was wrong when the child refused to accept any confidential information about [Shattered Star].

Shana: ???

Is this the extent of "misunderstanding"? ! !

The moment the starship's hatch opened, the Star Alliance broadcast camera was already waiting below.

Shana immediately put away any inappropriate emotions on her face and showed a standard smile that imitated Ms. Wei.

Come on! Shana, you are a professional!

Now is working time, you should put away those messy thoughts!

Shana: ...

…………

No, I can't do that at all!!

——Why on earth did this happen? Why did such a terrible misunderstanding occur?!

Gallagher Star, Cemetery.

As if forgotten by the noisy world, this is the silence that belongs only to the dead.

Even the people coming and going subconsciously slowed down their footsteps, as if they were afraid of disturbing the rest of the real owners of this place - the deceased who were sleeping here.

Engrave your name on a stone tablet to prevent it from being forgotten.

This seems to be the consensus of intelligent creatures traveling around the world and across time and space.

In front of the stone tablet engraved with the names of the victims of the Battle of Gallagher, a tall, thin black figure appeared at some point. Even though everyone who came to this place subconsciously lowered their voices, the young man's appearance was too silent, and those who saw him were not even sure whether he had been standing there all along or had just arrived.

The black hat pushed down the slightly curly hair, and the brim was pulled down very low, revealing only the lower edge of the sunglasses underneath.

The stand-up collar of the clothes concealed the jawline which still had a round curve. Only a small part of the face from the collar to the sunglasses was exposed. Fortunately, the nose that was exposed was tall and beautiful.

What a weird person.

But because of its low presence, it didn't attract much attention. And people who came to this place probably didn't have the mood to pay attention to other people's strange attire.

The person whose face is almost invisible is naturally Chu Lu.

Three years ago, realizing that [Shattered Star] would soon arrive, Chu Lu bid farewell to the young man who was so kind to take him in, and began his “wandering” life in the interstellar space.

Although he was a wanted criminal on the wanted list of both the old and new alliances, Chu Lu's life was not that difficult to be honest, especially with the system's proactive help this time.

In fact, if it weren't for his physical burden, he would almost treat this trip as "travel".

Walking aimlessly from place to place is also considered traveling, right? For Ling Lu, who was locked up in a laboratory since birth, this was something he never dared to think about...

As for the occasional "illegal and criminal incidents" he encountered on the road, which he would report to the official departments of the New Alliance according to the urgency of the incident, Chu Lu felt that this was the duty of every citizen of the Alliance - although he was probably not a citizen recognized by the New Alliance at present - and it was really not worth mentioning.

After that, it was expected that the investigation would be launched, and Chu Lu was very relieved to hand it over to the rarely active system. In this world view, the role of the system is extremely prominent. Moreover, after the world has stabilized, the system does not have to be as restrained as it was during the mission.

Whether it was the pursuit of [Broken Star] or [Star Descendants], the trouble caused to Chu Lu was very limited as he was well prepared.

However... before Chu Lu set out on the road alone, he never imagined that the thing that would cause him the biggest trouble was this face that looked so easy to deceive.

This face does a far better job of reducing threat and alertness.

Chu Lu has reported to the alliance so many times over the years, and his face, which looks like a "victim", has made great contributions.

A very suitable hostage, a target for kidnapping, torture and killing... the kind that won't resist at first glance...

——As for whether they will resist?

Chu Lu: smile.jpg

He thought the group could think about this issue carefully in the prison of the New Alliance.

In this regard, Chu Lu initially suspected that it was because he was always in a "blind" state with his eyes closed that he seemed more like a vulnerable group. For this reason, he specially changed into glasses, the kind of special glasses that can block the vision, but it was of no use.

Even after he chose one-way lenses - he couldn't see outside, but outsiders could see his eyes - the situation tended to get worse.

In short, after various failed attempts along the way, Chu Lu finalized several sets of disguise appearances, which finally made his subsequent journey a little safer.

Now this look of wrapping the whole body tightly is the simplest one among them.

——Don’t do anything on your face, just cover it all up.

The downside is that it looks a bit weird...

But in a place like a cemetery, people who come here probably won't pay attention to these things.

Chu Lu stood here for a long time, until all the people coming and going left and the voices around him fell silent. Then he raised his hand, pulled down his sunglasses, and glanced at the name on the monument through the gap between his hat brim and his sunglasses.

The brain of this body had an astonishing processing speed. He only took a glance, and all the information on the stone tablet mixed with the memories of his last time in this world came flooding back. Most of it could be matched with the faces in his memory.

This was understandable, because Ling Lu was an eyewitness in the battle against Gallagher, and given the memory of his brain that had been forcibly developed to adapt to his extraordinary perception, it was not surprising that he could remember the faces of those people.

——This is because the system packs several more files when re-importing the memory package.

However, calling him an "eyewitness" may not be so appropriate. If a more accurate word is used to describe him, it would be "betrayer"...

This stone tablet did not exist before Chu Lu last left Gallagher.

After all, at that time [Isuflor] had not been destroyed, and [Shattered Star] was still a wanted rebel under the alliance ruled by [Starborn]. No one would build a monument for the existence on the wanted list.

The sunglasses were pushed back to their normal position. Chu Lu took a step forward and placed the bouquet of white flowers in front of the stone tablet with both hands.

He was actually not sure whether those who were in deep sleep were willing to accept the bouquet of flowers. Coming here was not part of his plan.

Actually, Chu Lu had no intention of revisiting the old place. Gallagher was just a stopover for the starship he was on. It was while the starship was docked that Chu Lu saw the introduction of this newly built monument, and he decided to come and take a look on a whim.

(Since he was wanted, he could not buy the starship ticket through any normal means, so he did not need to go through any special procedures to leave midway.)

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Chu Lu actually didn't prepare anything. Even the bouquet of white flowers was something he bought on the spur of the moment before entering the cemetery.

It was only at this moment that he realized that it seemed inappropriate for him to come here given his current status.

…………

In the end, Chu Lu left the bouquet there and turned away.

After leaving the cemetery, the system noticed that the host was in a bad mood. It tried to say something to ease the host's mood. After thinking for a while, it took credit and said: [Someone from the alliance was tracking you, and I led them to the Blue Stream Galaxy.]

The Blue Stream Galaxy and the Red Curtain Galaxy are far apart from each other and can be regarded as the two poles of the entire alliance. The core star of the Red Curtain Galaxy, Reid Star, is the original destination of Chu Lu's journey. It would be impossible for the other party to find him in the Blue Stream.

Chu Lu's slightly depressed mood only lasted for a short time. The nature of his job was such that he had long been accustomed to it. He smiled softly and thanked the system for its roundabout consolation. His mood had brightened up a lot by this time.

He thought about it and reminded the system "don't overdo it."

Every time you choose the farthest place to lead people there, it will increase the possibility of being exposed over time.

The system wanted to loudly refute "Impossible". This was a provocation to the dignity of his system. The technological level of this world was very backward in his view, whether it was the logical core, the power supply method, or the running speed... compared with the system produced by his Spacetime Bureau, it was unknown how many light years behind it was.

——It will be exposed, are you kidding?!

But considering the host's obviously unhappy mood just now, the system decided to remain silent for the time being.

In other words, these words were spoken by its host. If it were someone else, the system would have scolded the other person to pieces and let the other person experience the system's rich vocabulary.

#Definitely not afraid of being banned#

In the center of the alliance, on another satellite named "Tu" adjacent to "Zhu", Mingzhao saw that Servis, who was temporarily acting as a guard next to him, was hesitant to speak.

Mingzhao suddenly realized, "Is Jiu coming back soon?"

Seeing that he remembered this, Servis was obviously relieved and agreed.

Mingzhao laughed: "Are you really going to keep hiding from him?"

——What? What?

Although she reminded herself again and again that it was working hours, Shana couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

Listen, just listen...it should be okay, right?

If it was really a confidential matter, the Alliance Leader would have signaled her to leave temporarily... and the guards beside her didn't move either...

No! Shana, wake up!

You have come here through so much hardship to shine and become an outstanding woman who leaves her name in the history of the league, not to listen to gossip!

No one knows what's going on in her mind, but judging from her outward appearance, this blonde lady is indeed professional enough.

The moment these obviously private conversations began, she moved a few steps away, staying in a position where she would not be able to hear the conversation over there, and was sure that if the Alliance Leader raised his voice to call her, she would be able to react immediately.

Shana opened her computer and checked the Alliance Leader's upcoming schedule to make sure there was nothing unreasonable. At the same time, she checked the speech that the Alliance Leader was going to use for the fifth time...

The fluorescent light of the computer reflected the serious face, but the owner's eyes seemed a little wandering.

...Curious, really curious...

The relationship between Lord Lyle and Lord Ling Jiu is indeed not very good, and the two have reached the point where they almost never meet.

I say "almost" because they are all core members of the new alliance, and there will always be times when they must appear at the same time. But in most cases, one of them will be replaced by a projected image.

And now, listening to what Mr. Alliance Leader said, it turns out that this relationship, which is almost to the point of not meeting each other, is not a two-way relationship, but that Mr. Lyle is avoiding Mr. Ling Jiu.

But...why?

"Want to know?"

After Lowls' speech at the conference ended, Shana heard the Alliance President ask this question on the starship heading to Auradon.

In a schedule that was so busy that there was almost no time to catch a breath, the time on the starship was a rare rest. Sana was mentally relaxed and blurted out the word "want".

Shana: ...

Shana: !!!

She tried to make amends: "No, you misunderstood, I didn't..."

"It's okay." Mingzhao smiled gently, "It's not a secret."

Shanna: That means she can listen...right?

And the Alliance Leader also said last time that he hoped to talk about some relaxing things during the break. This might be his way of relaxing... She should cooperate.

Thinking of this, she immediately made an expression of listening carefully, but she heard the other party: "Servis seriously injured Jiu's brother and almost killed him."

Shana: !!!

——This is… an “easy” thing???

Ming Zhao looked at the little girl who was so shocked that her expression was blank and her eyes seemed a little broken, and he smiled softly.

Although Ms. Wei Kuo recommended him as a very good assistant, he felt that Ms. Wei's expectations could be raised a little higher, such as... a successor...

His eyebrows were lowered and he showed his usual gentle smile.

——So how should a good leader handle conflicts among subordinates?
