Chapter 153
【She seems to be on the planet Alman】
In one sentence, it was like a torpedo thrown into the deep sea, and then with a bang, it exploded in everyone's mind.
"Old Han... when was this sent? Why didn't I receive it?"
Major General Bart shifted his butt on the animal-skin chair again and again, showing some uneasiness.
Secretary Jin Hui answered for Han Rantai: "It was sent an hour ago. Major General Bart may not have noticed it."
Major General Bart was speechless, then hurriedly clicked on his light brain ring, and only then realized that he had also received the message.
"Damn it, who is the sender!" He punched the marble table, causing it to buzz.
Han Rantai's face was solemn. "I sent a lot of StarNet engineers to investigate, but they couldn't find anything."
As he said this, he threw a stack of documents onto the table and motioned for Bart to look at them.
Bart quickly grabbed the paper document and scanned the search results. His breath hitched, and he looked up with an expression of disbelief: "There's not even a trace left?"
"Hmm." Han Rantai paused, then said, "The other party's shielding methods are very sophisticated, and the capital planet's anti-shielding technology is useless."
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Bart started and was frightened.
Han Rantai explained: "It's not an outsider, it's Lao Qi."
Bart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Congyi walked into the conference room with a smile, unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat down, carefully feeling the material. "The Military Department is different, huh? Even the chairs for meetings are made of asteroid hides."
Ignoring his playful smile, Han Rantai asked coldly: "Who do you think the sender is?"
Old Qi laughed and said, "If I had known that, I wouldn't have come here."
Bart thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's someone who participated in that incident back then?"
"But those who were indirectly involved back then were basically dealt with by you guys under the pretext of 'accidental death,' right?" Old Qi narrowed his eyes, revealing a meaningful expression. "As for the direct participants... look, aren't they all sitting here?"
People who didn't know might think he was being sarcastic. Bart glared at him unhappily, as if calling him sick, but Qi Congyi pretended not to see it and continued to look at Han Rantai with a smile.
Han Rantai didn't pretend and said bluntly: "Those people have been dealt with long ago, and their entire family's bones have been burned to ashes. As for the other recipients of the letter, I also sent people to deal with them."
Bart was surprised: "So fast?"
You have to know that it has only been half a month since they first received the anonymous email, and Old Han actually... sent people to take action so quickly.
Is he truly a ruthless person known for his cruelty and cold-bloodedness? He doesn't hesitate to strike at anyone who threatens him.
As for why they didn't take action against him, Lao Qi and secretary Jin Hui, Bart thought to himself that it was probably because they were now restraining each other. You have my leverage and I have yours. The relationship is complicated and no one can bring anyone down in one go, so they can only coexist temporarily.
Lao Qi heard another meaning in Han Rantai's explanation.
He looked at him with a half-smile, his tone indifferent, "So, Old Han, you still suspect the source is among us?"
Bart and Jin Hui looked at him instantly, as if they had heard some breaking news.
Lao Qi leaned back and spread his hands. "Don't look at me like that. I'm just expressing Lao Han's true feelings. After all, everyone who should be dealt with has been dealt with, but we still receive letters. This can only mean that the person who knows our secret is still alive."
Bart took a breath and turned to look at Han Rantai: "Old Han, it's not me! I've been with you for so many years, don't you know me?"
Han Rantai narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if he wanted to peel off the skin of Bart alive.
Bart's scalp tingled when he was looked at.
Finally, I heard the other person say, "I know you won't betray me."
Bart breathed a sigh of relief, but his secretary Jin Hui secretly thought that something was wrong.
He immediately began to explain: "General Han, I can give you the communicator for me and my family. You can see at a glance where we go and what we do!"
Han Rantai didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he was excluding or doubting.
Jin Hui became increasingly uneasy.
A few seconds later, Han Rantai turned around and asked, "Lao Qi, what about you?"
Old Qi paused for two seconds, then burst into laughter. "Old Han, you don't think a marginal figure like me can stir up any waves, do you? I'm just the organizer of the mecha competition. In terms of power, I have none, and in terms of influence, I'm alone. What am I after? To make myself impatient?"
Han Rantai looked at him silently, not knowing what he was thinking behind those gloomy eyes.
After a while, he stood up and looked around at the three people: "I believe it's not you. We have to continue investigating this matter. Don't act rashly recently. I will inform you if there is any follow-up."
*
At the beginning of the new semester, the faces that were once somewhat immature have become more mature after the training in the second half of last year.
The daily classes are still packed, and students of all grades are either attending classes in different classrooms with their books, or studying hard in the study room with their notebooks.
Of course, Xia Mo cannot be among these diligent and dedicated students.
Although teachers of various subjects repeatedly reminded her, and some even complained to the grade counselor, asking the latter to criticize her learning attitude, Xia Mo refused to change her bad habits. She would go to class when she wanted to, and no one could persuade her when she didn't want to.
How should I put it? Although her behavior made many classmates feel ashamed, she could always get full marks in any in-class theoretical assignments or temporary mecha practical exercises.
Well, now everyone was speechless and was left with nothing but envy for her.
"When will I be able to get full marks in every subject even without attending classes? My parents will wake up laughing in their dreams."
A girl who passed by Xia Mo whispered to her companions.
His companion nodded: "I don't ask for full marks in every subject, 100 in one subject will be fine. Then I will be worshipped by the elders of the family when I go back!"
"What a pity, neither of us has that talent~"
"Stop talking, can't you see I'm drooling with envy..."
The two girls walked further and further away, and Xia Mo turned and walked into the holographic room next to them.
Talent?
She didn't think she had.
When she entered school, her ratings in all aspects were in the middle, not lagging behind, but not outstanding either.
All the achievements were achieved by her working late into the night.
While others were sleeping, she had already memorized all the mecha theory. While others were eating, drinking and having fun, she locked herself in the mecha simulation room, playing 100 games a day before coming out...
In addition, she also has to squeeze out time to play games, level up and improve her mental strength. It can be said that even a gyroscope cannot spin faster than her. Can this be called talent?
Maybe, if hard work is considered a talent.
After logging into the game, a message from the Royal City was sent to all servers.
[The traitor Asaya is suspected of maliciously colluding with external mainland forces and betraying the royal city's military secrets. With the approval of King Cyril, she will be dealt with at 2:00 PM on March 31st!]
The 31st, isn’t that this afternoon?
Xia Mo's pupils flickered slightly, and a feeling of bitterness suddenly rose in his heart.
Failure to stop Ashaya's rebellion, resulting in the enormous losses inflicted on the royal city, had always been a source of resentment for her. Now, despite making thorough preparations and nipping Ashaya's plan in the bud, allowing the Pergas Continent to stage a remarkable comeback, she still couldn't save her life.
Perhaps this is the final fate of this character. Whether he is stopped or not, he will perish.
Sighing, she was about to leave the city to do a mission when the chat box suddenly flashed.
No one usually looks for her at this time, who could it be?
When she clicked on the icon, the eye-catching words "Ashaya" made her suddenly stunned.
Fifteen minutes later, Xia Mo arrived at the execution ground in Wangcheng.
Because of her unparalleled reputation on the continent and her meritorious service in commanding the battle a month ago, she received many medals of honor awarded by King Cyril. No one at the execution ground dared to stop her, and she went directly to Ashaya's detention cell.
In the damp and dark cell, the little girl who once had such a bright smile was now curled up in the corner of the cell like an octogenarian. Rats slipped past her feet, but she stayed there quietly, pretending not to see them.
"Ashaya."
Hearing the call, Ashaya, whose eyes were dull, suddenly raised her head, her eyes penetrating the iron bars, looking at her joyfully: "Sister, you're here!"
She crawled to him with her shackled hands and feet on the ground. Xia Mo couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "Why do you do this? Do you know that I can't eat the desserts you made by yourself anymore?"
Perhaps not expecting her to say that, Ashaya was stunned at first, and then tears covered her bright eyes. They were not tears of regret, but tears of coldness.
"Sister, this is my fate." She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled coldly, "I am the only one left in the Yasi tribe. If I don't do something for my people, my conscience will always be uneasy."
"We were once so prosperous, so glorious, but because of your meddling, the gods we believed in abandoned us. I hate the gods, and I hate you humans even more. Without you, we could have lived a peaceful and prosperous life in Blade's Edge Fjord, but everything has changed and is gone."
"My grandmother bravely rushed into the sea of fire to protect the people behind her. My mother took on the heavy responsibility and led the wizard warriors to resist, but died of exhaustion and vomiting blood... My aunt, my uncle, and my sister... they all died on the battlefield. I am the only one alive, and I am living a disgusting life. I don't deserve it... I don't deserve to live in this world..."
As the only survivor of the species, the survivor may not feel fortunate, but will instead be entangled in endless guilt.
This kind of guilt will follow you like a shadow and will grow stronger as you grow older, until it reaches a certain limit, and all the guilt will turn into a happy ending.
"Sister, you are the best person I have ever met who treats me well. I like you very much. Take this as an apology for hiding all this from you."
A bracelet slipped off Ashaya's wrist and was placed in Xia Mo's palm.
Xia Mo looked down and was shocked.
Name: Yasi Wizard's Bracelet
Quality: Epic
Durability: 500
General attributes: Health +1000 (+500), Magic +900, Spell Defense +800, Balance +600
Special Attribute: Awakened Will [Passive skill, continuously evolves during multiple combos. The more combos you hit, the stronger the evolution. No cooldown, triggered by combos (click to view evolution details)]
It’s actually epic equipment!!!
Xia Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Back then, the first epic equipment in the mainland was only released when the player reached level 55. Now she is only level 39, and she didn’t expect to get one!
It seems that rebirth has indeed brought about an accelerated butterfly effect. Xia Mo took a deep breath and accepted the bracelet.
Having finally completed her mission, Asaya smiled and withdrew her hand, crawling back into the corner: "Sister, you can go. I hope you can take my clan's blessing and become the bravest warrior in the continent of Pergas."
Xia Mo's eyes flashed, and she wanted to say something more to her, but the story ended here. No matter how she called Ashaya's name, the latter ignored her.
The line ends.
Xia Mo stood up and took one last look at Ashaya.
An hour after leaving the cell, she and other players received the latest news: the traitor Ashaya had been beheaded.
Even though they guessed the result, players are still discussing it around the world.
Some people say that Asaya deserved it. If Mo Se had not discovered her in advance and reported it to the king, all the players on the continent would have been implicated by her.
Some people also felt sad that Wangcheng had lost a pastry chef. From now on, they would never be able to eat food that tasted good and had amplification effects.
There were all kinds of opinions and everyone had their own stance. Xia Mo just took a look and then left.
Her thoughts returned to the bracelet. She hadn't had time to read the details of the special attribute [Awakened Will].
I clicked on the details page, and my pupils gradually widened as I read on.
5 consecutive hits, attack speed +0.5%, movement speed +1%, damage +1%
10 consecutive hits, attack speed +1%, movement speed +2%, damage +2.5%
20 consecutive hits, attack speed +1.5%, movement speed +3%, damage +4%
30 consecutive hits, attack speed +2%, movement speed +5%, damage +5.5%
40 consecutive hits, attack speed +2.5%, movement speed +8%, damage +7%
50 consecutive hits, attack speed +3%, movement speed +13%, damage +8.5%
100 consecutive hits, attack speed +6%, movement speed +21%, damage +10%
What an incredible passive skill! It doesn't even consume her mana bar, and it can be triggered automatically as the number of combos increases.
The attack speed makes it impossible for the opponent to block; the movement speed makes her invincible; the damage bonus is the high output pursued by all professions.
Is this the power of epic gear? Love it!
