The next destination of the spacecraft's route has become Mars City, and Luo Tian and the Red Witch embark on their return journey.
Luo Tian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He was looking forward to seeing what the third-level civilization mentioned by the Scarlet Witch would look like.
"Let's go to Mars City first. It's safer there." said the Scarlet Witch. There was an imperceptible cloud of worry on her face, lingering between her brows.
Luo Tian saw that she was worried, so he asked, "What are you worried about?"
The Red Witch gave Luo Tian a mischievous smile: "This is the second time we meet, but I feel like we have known each other for a long time. I am worried that I will not see you again in the future."
Luo Tian put his right hand around the Red Witch's shoulders: "How could that be? As long as you call me, I will come to you immediately."
"I'm in danger. People from the Astronomical Society and Saturn City are looking for me. Aren't you afraid that I will implicate you?" The Red Witch looked at Luo Tian intently, her eyes full of expectation.
Luo Tian did not avoid her gaze, but responded with a firm look: "Of course I'm not afraid. I promised to protect you, and once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. I will definitely stick to my promise. Besides, I am not very capable, but I am very brave. Why are they looking for you?"
The Red Witch said, "I have loved studying weapons since I was a child. I am obsessed with the advanced weapons of various star cities, and I often search for information on weapon manufacturing on the Internet."
"Nowadays, there is little communication between star cities, and information about weapons like this is top secret, with very little public information. So I worked very hard to improve my technical skills, and later became a top hacker."
"After joining the Stargazing Society, I have more opportunities to access top-secret information about the top weapons in various star cities. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of extremely valuable information. They came to me just to get this information so that they can develop more powerful weapons."
Luo Tian didn't expect that the beautiful girl in front of him was actually a weapons fan. How many secrets did she have that he didn't know?
"Saturn City is looking for you because you stole their weapons information, but why are the people from the Stargazing Society looking for you too?" Luo Tian asked puzzled.
The Scarlet Witch sighed, "I joined the Stargazing Society because the purpose of this organization was to discover and establish a god-level civilization. You know, now that each star city is developing independently, as civilization progresses, the amount of data will multiply exponentially, and the storage space will naturally be insufficient, and then an interstellar war will break out."
"It's the eve of a war again, and who knows which star city might be razed to the ground. I agree with the goals of the Stargazing Society. If there is a god-level civilization in the solar system that can unify the star cities, then war will not happen. But as the Stargazing Society develops, its original intention has changed. Some members have begun to sell intelligence and information to obtain the wealth and technology provided by the star cities. I cannot tolerate this."
"So, they want to kill you and steal the information you have obtained?" Luo Tian guessed.
The Red Witch nodded. "Yes, the Stargazing Society is not a monolithic entity. They have now implemented a new policy that all members must share intelligence and data within the society. You know, the cities that can afford to buy these technologies and weapons are often powerful. This will lead to the strong getting stronger. Weak cities like Uranus City will definitely be destroyed and their data spaces will be plundered. I rejected this policy of the society, so the society has been sending people to track me down, and I can only avoid their tracking and pursuit."
Luo Tian understood the good intentions of the Scarlet Witch. Originally, in his eyes, she was a murderous female devil, but now, the Scarlet Witch suddenly exuded a gentle and kind temperament.
At this moment, the spacecraft system prompt sound suddenly sounded: [There is a flying object tracking, please pay attention. There is a flying object tracking, please pay attention].
The Red Witch quickly opened the pop-up window and found a red dot following the spaceship. The red dot was flying faster and faster, and the distance between it and the spaceship was shrinking.
"Oops! This guy is too fast, twice as fast as the current speed of the spacecraft!" The Red Witch hurriedly operated on the screen, hiding the route destination.
Luo Tian was surprised to see the red dot approaching the spaceship quickly. "Is this the spaceship that just destroyed the interstellar fleet? Why is it targeting us? Does it regard us as enemies?"
The Scarlet Witch shook her head: "Maybe his original target was us. Sit tight, I'm going to do it manually."
Luo Tian fixed his body on the seat, and the Red Witch adjusted the operation mode to manual. Her fingers moved swiftly on the console, and soon the spaceship was traveling at the highest speed. It could be felt that it was not moving in a straight line, but swaying left and right in a zigzag shape.
Luo Tian felt his body swaying up and down, left and right, and his head felt dizzy.
"Damn it, why can't I get rid of it?" The Red Witch said anxiously, "There must be someone operating in there."
"Are there no offensive weapons on the spacecraft?" Luo Tian asked.
The Red Witch said, "Of course there is, but it's best not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary. The red dot is still some distance away from us. I'll send out some bait boats first, hoping to lure it away."
Luo Tian noticed that there were originally only two bright spots on the route on the screen map, one green and one red. The red dot was the enemy, and the green dot was himself. The Red Witch operated on the interface, and soon dozens of identical green dots appeared on the screen. This should be the bait ship she mentioned.
The red dot was getting closer and closer to the spaceship and had entered the surveillance range of the spaceship. The Red Witch called up the enemy's image and found that the pursuer was just a snowball with a diameter of about five meters, all white, with a smooth surface, a perfect curvature, and emitting a silver light.
