Tao Yao and the others stood there watching Feng Feng share the coordinates of his location movement. Less than 5 minutes later, Shu Yan rushed out of the Imperial First Military Academy.
He saw Tao Yao standing in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to her side: "Did Uncle Feng go after them?"
“Hmm,” Tao Yao moved the quantum computer over so Shu Yan could see Lou Renyu’s movements. “He’s been running, it seems like he doesn’t want to get in touch with Uncle Feng and the others, but if he runs too fast, he seems to stop and wait for a while, it’s very strange.”
Lou Renyu's movement path was very strange, it seemed to be circling around, but it wasn't really circling in the true sense.
Shu Yan frowned as he looked at him.
Judging from the fact that Lou Renyu's bodyguards lost track of him on their first encounter, it's impossible that this person, with only Feng Feng and Uncle Zhang as bodyguards, would have repeated the same route, seemingly getting lost and running around again.
Shu Yan: "Uncle Feng didn't have any contact with him?"
Tao Yao: "No, we haven't met yet. To be precise, Lou Renyu is preventing Uncle Feng from meeting him while also preventing them from losing track of him."
Shu Yan took another closer look at the route map on Tao Yao's computer, and was about to speak.
Xie Langhuan, who was standing to the side, spoke up first: "He is calling for help."
Everyone: ?
Hu Tiantian & Si Lili: "How did you figure that out?"
Xie Langhuan pointed to the curve of the route Lou Renyu ran out of: "Look at this route map. If you draw it out separately, wouldn't it be an SOS distress signal from before the Star Dimension?"
After Xie Langhuan said that, Hu Tiantian immediately drew an SOS on her personal computer.
Slili had never seen this person before: "He's perfectly healthy, and the bodyguards didn't bother him at all. Why is he asking us for help? If he has a problem, why doesn't he go to the security robot?"
Seeing that Tao Yao and Shu Yan were still deep in thought in front of the personal terminal, she reached out and tugged at Hu Tiantian's skirt, whispering, "You know him? Who exactly is he? Is it a favor or a grudge?"
She was the one who argued the most fiercely with Hu Tiantian, but if she stood with the three of them, Hu Tiantian was the only one among them whom she dared to approach and talk to.
Hu Tiantian pulled her skirt over: "What's it to you! We're that close!"
Silili is at the Empire's First Military Academy, while Taoyao and the other two are at the Alliance's First Military Academy across the street.
The two schools are separated by a road, but they have always been rivals.
When Silili was pulling on Hu Tiantian's skirt, she suddenly discovered a very serious problem.
"Old Hu, the skirts at your school are shorter than ours!" Si Lili exclaimed incredulously. "Do you think you deliberately shortened the skirts of your school uniforms?"
Why is it that everyone else is wearing pleated skirts, and everyone else is a beautiful, wealthy woman with long legs, but the school across the street has shorter skirts! Showing off even more of their long legs!
"You deliberately shortened your skirt! Your whole family deliberately shortened their skirts! You're called Old Hu! Your whole family is called Old Hu!" Hu Tiantian rolled her eyes. She felt she couldn't stand with Si Lili and Li Yunsi, otherwise, one day she would get cataracts!
"Impossible! My legs aren't shorter than yours. If you don't believe me, let Jasmine compare them!"
Sili was determined to reveal the truth, and she pulled Zhang Moli over to compare the length of Hu Tiantian's pleated skirt.
The three of them were pulling and tugging at each other, comparing the lengths of their skirts.
The three people over there had already written down the coordinates of the points where Feng Feng would stop at each location.
Xie Langhuan: "If the route signal this person took is a marker from before the Star Era, then we'll use the Star Era number-to-letter conversion method for these numbers. Using the nine-key letter input method, the first coordinate is 91, 63, and the resulting letter is WO, which should be the character 'I'..."
Xie Langhuan quickly converted all the coordinates into a nine-square grid of letters, then into the original Star Element script, and finally into the Alliance's common script. The result was: "I have been kidnapped, an unknown object is with me..."
Tao Yao looked at the coordinates that Feng Feng kept sending on the personal terminal. "He is still moving within Uncle Feng's line of sight. There should be more words that he hasn't finished expressing yet."
Shu Yan: "There should be another character, 'brain,' and the next coordinates should be 6221, 63..."
Xie Langhuan trembled slightly, looked up at Shu Yan, her face full of disbelief: "There's something in his brain, symbiotic?"
In all her years, she had never heard of anything in the Alliance that could coexist with a person in their brain. The Zerg's parasitism simply eroded the person's brain, turning them into a drained shell.
“We don’t know yet if it’s really true,” Shu Yan said. “We hope this person can become our first research subject.”
While the three were talking, Lou Renyu finished walking the last route. After he finished walking the coordinates, Feng Feng immediately sent a message: "Miss, we lost track of that person. Just 10 seconds ago, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air."
Tao Yao revealed the last few coordinates, which were indeed 6221, 6394, 4263, and 6241.
In written form, it's the two words "in one's mind".
"I've been kidnapped, and an unknown object is in my mind." Tao Yao read it aloud, then looked up and asked, "Do you think this person was really kidnapped by an unknown creature and is asking us for help, or is it actually a trap to lure us in?"
Xie Langhuan spoke frankly: "I don't know this person's purpose."
She had another question: "If he truly didn't want to be held hostage by that unknown creature, then the fact that he could send out a distress signal without the creature's knowledge shows that he's not a stupid person. He could have easily sought help from the Alliance's security team; why did he ask us for help?"
Shu Yan recalled the scene when he first noticed this person on the helipad: "This person's purpose, or rather, the purpose of the creature behind him, may be Yao Yao."
He figured that this person was either specifically looking for them or didn't want to alert the Alliance's government officials and was seeking their cooperation.
Or perhaps he's setting a trap, using curiosity to lure people in in order to achieve his goal.
At this moment, an automated voice message was transmitted to each person's personal computer:
All students are requested to assemble in the auditorium of the Imperial First Military Academy within 5 minutes. The Emperor's speech will begin in 10 minutes.
The automatic language looped three times. The three of them temporarily put aside the person who was symbiotically linked to the unknown creature and headed to the auditorium.
In the midst of pulling, gesturing, and pushing, Hu Tiantian and the other two finally reached a conclusion through a single star.
After Slili slammed her fist on the Imperial Military Academy uniform designer's card, her teeth were grinding together: "I'm transferring to the Alliance's No. 1 Military Academy tomorrow. Damn it! She called a uniform that looks like it belongs to a restaurant waiter and claimed it represents moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic excellence. I don't know how this piece of trash graduated from the design school. If he's so arrogant, why doesn't he just fly to the moon!"
Hu Tiantian mocked mercilessly: "It's the interstellar age now, who can't go to space? Just spend 2 star coins to ride a public flying car, and you can fly in circles in the sky every day."
Slily: "..."
Hu Tiantian was very happy to have achieved a partial victory in the battle, so she pulled Xie Langhuan along and went into the school's auditorium with her.
