Chapter 2 Failure
I'd like to calculate ***
...
Zhou Jiu shook his head and said, "The three divinations a day are over."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhou Jiu hesitated for a moment: "You're a freshman too, right? Since we're going to be classmates, how about... we exchange contact information and make plans another time?"
"OK."
…
"I'm also a freshman in the military academy, let's join together."
The surveillance video was zoomed in on Zhou Jiu's camera position. Xiao Wen stroked his chin, a hint of interest creeping in. Pointing at the screen, he said to his adjutant, Liu Shan, "This girl is very good at building rapport and making others feel less guarded around her."
"Sir, she looks very innocent. She starts with the mysterious things of ancient Blue Star. If I were a freshman, I would believe her too."
"So you don't believe she really has this ability?" Xiao Wen raised an eyebrow.
“Sir, if one possesses special skills, one could hack into the quantum computer and start with the messages. The content she said could be easily extracted from personal information. As for the rest, with a little psychology knowledge, one could deduce a lot from the other person’s expressions.” Liu Shan did not believe that there was really anything that could calculate what would happen in the future.
The cabin gradually became lively...
Sun You looked at the message sent by Zhou Jiu and gradually began to search around the seat. Her hand touched a familiar device under the seat, and then she put her hand back.
The surveillance video showed the movements of Zhou Jiu and the other two. Xiao Wen raised an eyebrow. "She discovered it."
"What are the names of these two students?"
“Seat 32A belongs to Sun You from Planet E, who applied for the major of Mecha Command and ranked in the top 100 in the college entrance examination on Planet E. Seat 32B belongs to Zhou Jiu, who also comes from Planet E and applied for the major of Mechanical Engineering.”
Regarding Zhou Jiu's claim that she came from the ancient planet Blue, both of them believed it was probably a fabrication to increase the credibility of the divination and add a layer of mystery.
"Is that student in the jacket also from Star E?" Xiao Wen asked, looking at Lin Xiu, who was circling around the inner cabin inquiring about information.
"Lin Xiu, mecha pilot, is the top scorer in the E-Star College Entrance Examination." Liu Shan flipped through the three people's files and placed them in front of Xiao Wen.
“Mechanical Engineering? This ship is full of second-year students as prisoners. The technical students have other arrangements.” Xiao Wen frowned. “Zhou Jiu was first in combat class and first in mecha operation simulation exam. In addition, she was almost inseparable from those two, so the starship did not move her out directly when assigning personnel, in order to prevent the information from being leaked.”
Xiao Wen continued reading and said, "Her mechanical theory grades aren't very good, probably because she hasn't been exposed to it before. In high school, she mainly took courses focused on combat and frontline fighting. Investigate these three people and their relatives."
"Yes," Liu Shan replied.
The data showed that all three were orphans. Star E was now under the complete control of the Third Military Region. Generally speaking, in areas under complete control, students would go directly to the United University based on their grades. As everyone knows, the First Military Region is the main training ground for future officers of the First Military Region. Students from areas under the jurisdiction of the Third Military Region would not be assigned to important positions after graduation, and their career prospects would not be good. What were they after? Or was it really because they were young and made poor decisions that they came to the First Military Region? Xiao Wen continued to flip through the files of the freshmen admitted this year.
After flipping through a few pages, Xiao Wen looked at the monitor showing Lin Xiu and his men chatting and laughing outside the door, which was very close by. He picked up the communicator and ordered, "Tie up that kid outside and bring him in."
Zhou Jiu not only added most of his classmates' contact information but also many of the instructors', ignoring the subtle glances he received. Zhou Jiu scratched his ear slightly, using this action to shift his gaze towards the inner cabin, where he hadn't seen Lin Xiu for quite some time.
Zhou Jiu sat back down. When Sun You saw her, she grabbed her arm, leaned her head almost against Zhou Jiu's ear, and pointed to the area under the seat.
Zhou Jiu immediately understood Sun You's implication and couldn't help but sigh, "My brother Xiu'er's life is in danger."
"What's your idea?" Sun You asked.
"Let nature take its course. Anyway, I don't have any ideas. The situation is beyond our control." Zhou Jiu's voice was a little louder as he looked at the instruments under his seat and glanced at the monitor inside the cabin.
Zhou Jiu, taking advantage of their extremely close proximity, shared the contact list of classmates and instructors with Sun You, and also sent Sun You the distribution map he had drawn in the restroom.
"Youyou, I have a very bad feeling." Zhou Jiu thought about her divination. As a diviner, she should accept her fate if she knew she was going to fail. But for Zhou Jiu, it was knowing the impossible yet doing it anyway that made life particularly interesting.
"To be honest, me too." After saying that, Sun You went to the bathroom.
Zhou Jiu squinted until he heard the announcement of the imminent descent. He stood up, walked forward, and greeted, "Hi, flight attendant, I'm sorry, my friend hasn't come back for a long time. I just looked for another friend in the restroom, but he's not there either. I'm a little worried."
As Zhou Jiu approached, looking at the ground he was about to reach, he pretended to accidentally scatter the copper coins in his hand. In the instant the other party's attention was diverted, Zhou Jiu seized the opportunity and swiftly slashed at the flight attendant in front of him.
This was just the beginning. Many people in the cabin received communication messages, and several students surrounded an instructor, gradually causing chaos inside the cabin.
Of course, not all students believed this message, but at least a few were captured.
Having weapons in hand is indeed intimidating. With a light gun pressed against the flight attendant's neck, Zhou Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Instructors, shall we exchange some information?"
The starship landed, but the hatch remained closed for a long time. Through the windows, many students saw senior students in cadet uniforms outside the hatch carrying weapons and handcuffs, and judging from their uniforms, they were not from the Military Academy.
"Students, please give up resisting. Remember, every instructor you offend is not only your freshman training instructor, but also someone who will be with you for the next four years. Think about the consequences."
Seeing that several people were gradually being affected and countered by the instructors, Sun You's voice came out from the main control speaker: "No, the commander of this starship is Commander Xiao Wen. According to the information from the last battle that Starship 181 participated in, and if you students have been following yesterday's interstellar news, they have other starship activities in three months. So their time can only be used to participate in our new recruit training or just this joint exercise of the four military academies."
As soon as Sun You finished speaking, Zhou Jiu continued, "See those students from Zongda University outside the door? We are their prisoners this time. As future military reserve talents, are you willing to start as prisoners? Can't we, as freshmen, even fight? Students..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Jiu was shot with a needle and was helped up by the officer next to him.
