Chapter 569 'Coincidence'
The patrol ship directly engaged in combat with Sutina's troops.
But the strongest person on the patrol ship was only at level four. Facing Sutina who was at the peak of level six, they were no match at all.
Even if Sutina intended to hold back at this moment, the situation was still one-sided.
After Sutina killed a group of people in her initial rage, perhaps because she saw Li Qi frowning in her arms, she actually intended to leave him alive.
She did not kill several senior officers of the patrol ship, including Nikki, but simply used the floating gun to penetrate their shoulders, making them unable to resist.
Even during this period, Sutina covered Li Qi's eyes with one hand, as if she didn't want him to see this bloody scene.
Judging from this action, what Xinlian said was indeed correct.
This invincible pirate queen in the darkest star sea indeed regards Li Qi as her treasure.
The love in full force is so terrifying! "I'm sparing your lives for Phil's sake. I hope you won't be ungrateful!"
Sutina, who completely suppressed the ship riot in less than three minutes, finally spoke to everyone in a cold voice.
But just as Sutina finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the patrol ship.
"?"
Sutina had a question mark on her head and frowned as she looked at the subdued fleet members: "What tricks are you playing?"
Just as he finished speaking, before Nikki and the others could respond, the entire ship suddenly shook violently again, and the roar of the spacecraft's power starting was deafening.
Sensing the movement of the spacecraft, Sutina finally understood what had happened. Her pupils shrank and she angrily questioned Nikki:
"Are you crazy? How dare you start the warp engine at this time?!"
Although the warp engine is damaged, it does not mean that it cannot be started. It just means that the spacecraft will easily disintegrate after being started.
Moreover, the location after the jump cannot be determined, and it is easy to jump to a dangerous place with space turbulence.
Activating the warp engine in the patrol ship's current state would be tantamount to seeking death.
Sutina glared at Nikki and the others fiercely, and said to everyone at the same time: "Everyone retreat! Quickly!!!"
"Want to retreat now? It's too late!! Let's all die together!!!"
A woman's voice appeared on the spacecraft's broadcast. Li Qi felt familiar with the voice. It seemed like she was a guard who often followed Nikki.
But Li Qi had only met her twice.
Listening to the hatred in the woman's voice on the radio, Li Qi was silent for a while, and then asked Xin Lian:
(The charm has failed?) (No... She was probably too scared and unwilling to see you being taken away like this, so she planned to die together with the enemy... Like, 'If I can't have it, no one else can have it'?)
(…If I believe you next time, I’m just an idiot!) Seeing a yandere suddenly jump out of the crowd and want to die with everyone, Li Qi wanted to curse.
But the good news is that Sutina is, after all, a powerful person at the peak of level six.
Although it was impossible to prevent the battleship's jump drive from starting, it was possible to ensure the safe evacuation of everyone to her ship.
As for what would happen to Nikki's patrol ship in the end, that was not something Sutina considered.
For her, getting Li Qi was no different from getting huge resources. Li Qi alone was enough to offset the gains from her looting this time.
So she doesn't need to care about the patrol ship. Now her and Li Qi's safety is more important.
But unfortunately, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Nikki had just brought Li Qi onto the spacecraft when they saw a black hole with extremely strong suction appear on the patrol ship's jump orbit!
The black hole first completely devoured the patrol ship, and then indiscriminately devoured everything around it! The White Queen, which was closest to the patrol ship, was the first to be hit!
"Damn it!! Space wormhole!! These lunatics from a foreign country!!"
Seeing the "black hole" appear, Sutina first placed Li Qi on the chair, and then spread her consciousness and completely took over her three warships.
A moment later, her voice resounded throughout the three warships: "Everyone listen! Cooperate with me and start the light speed engine at full power! Escape the capture of the wormhole!"
A space wormhole is a special phenomenon that occurs with an extremely small probability when a space jump occurs.
The appearance of a space wormhole is like a small black hole, which will indiscriminately attract everything around it.
But in fact, it is not a black hole, but a wormhole with the ability to teleport. However, the suction of this wormhole is too strong. Unless it is a seventh-level strongman who has initially comprehended the rules, even a sixth-level peak master, once caught by the wormhole, will be easily sucked in and then thrown out to other places.
The bigger problem is that after being sucked into the wormhole, the location where you are thrown out is extremely uncertain!
It could be within a few dozen light years, or it could be anywhere in the universe! It could even be thrown into the world ocean!
If it was the first few, it would be fine, but if it was the last one... once it fell into the world sea and had no main world coordinates, it would be very likely that it would be lost in the boundless world sea just like Xinlian!
Although Sutina has not received any formal academic education in the interstellar world, she is very familiar with this kind of common sense.
That's why they kept scolding the patrol team that caused the space wormhole.
Li Qi, who also knew about space wormholes, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the wormhole appear.
He did not forget that he came here from the World Sea before. In other words, this place has a certain connection with the World Sea. Once the wormhole appears, it is very likely to teleport people to the World Sea.
This wormhole might even be the passage to the World Sea! Otherwise, how could it appear here so easily?
(Love...)
(Don't worry, I know what you want to ask, but it's okay. We just came back from the World Sea. The passage between here and the World Sea will be temporarily closed. Even if we really enter the wormhole, we will not run into the World Sea. Don't worry about this.)
Xinlian interrupted Li Qi and comforted him.
Xinlian was once an existence above the ninth level, and her words had a certain degree of credibility, so Li Qi felt a little relieved.
What's more, they may not be sucked away by the wormhole. After all, White Queen Sutina is at the peak of the sixth level and has made preparations in advance. The chances of them escaping the wormhole are very high.
But unfortunately, Li Qi overestimated Sutina and underestimated the pulling force of the wormhole.
The three warships had just started their light speed engines and were completely engulfed by the wormhole before they could escape its range.
One stellar-class and two planetary-class battleships were swallowed up by the wormhole without even a trace of fire.
Until everything around it was swallowed up by the wormhole, the wormhole finally burst out with dazzling light and disappeared.
This area of the Dark Star Sea has once again returned to its former tranquility.
A few hours after calm was restored, two eighth-order mechas suddenly appeared in the area. They looked at each other, shook their heads at each other, and then flashed and disappeared again.
If Li Qi was still here, he would be able to see that one of the two eighth-tier mechas came from the Sarnak family, and the white and red family logo was extremely obvious.
The other golden mecha was undoubtedly from the royal family, and no one dared to disguise the imperial royal emblem on it.
The two eighth-tier mechas were obviously a rescue team sent by the empire to search for Li Qi.
It’s a pity that they were still a step too late in the end.
What a coincidence.
A step late.
…
"What do you mean by not finding it!!!"
Sophie Yuna, who had already returned to the empire and learned the news, turned into a desk cleaning master, cleared away everything on the desk, and questioned the eighth-level strong man in front of her.
The eighth-rank mecha master who was in charge of protecting Sophie Yuna half-knelt down in front of her and said with his head down: "When we arrived, His Highness Richie was no longer there, and we couldn't find his presence either. It was as if... he had suddenly disappeared...
"We reasonably speculate that His Highness Richie... must have encountered space turbulence, or... a space wormhole."
"In that case, let's go find it!!"
"Your Highness, we were able to locate His Highness Richie before through divination by the royal family...and now His Highness Richie has disappeared again, so if you want to locate His Highness Richie, I'm afraid you will need to ask the royal family for divination again."
The reason why the two eighth-level warriors were able to determine Li Qi's position so accurately in the Dark Star Sea was because Sophie Yuna found the Queen and asked her to mobilize the royal priests to perform divination on Li Qi's location.
But it is not something that ordinary people can do to accurately locate a person's position in the entire universe.
It has to be at least level seven, and only someone who has mastered certain prophecy rules can do it.
But the rules of prophecy are not common rules. Such people are extremely valuable no matter which organization they are in, and every time a prophet makes a prediction, he has to pay a certain price.
At the very least, he would be unlucky for a few days, at the worst, he would die! However, Li Qi's luck was very strange, and he was a big figure in the empire, and he was covered by multiple other fates. It would cost a lot to accurately locate his position.
A few days ago, Sophie Yuna personally went to find her mother and used the royal authority to invite a royal priest to perform divination. Only after the fortune teller vomited three liters of blood did they find Li Qi's location.
The fortune teller is still recuperating in the hospital.
Now I want to ask the precious fortune teller to find Li Qi's whereabouts.
Regardless of whether the Queen would agree or not, if the fortune teller were to do such a divination again, he would probably die on the spot in front of Sophie Yuna.
Therefore, when she heard the answer from her subordinates, Sophie Yuna looked extremely ugly.
Finally, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and asked, "Where did Richie disappear to last?"
"The chaotic area of the Darkest Star Sea."
"Okay, get the Richie ready, I'm going there myself!"
Sophie Yuna stood up and made a decision.
The eighth-rank mecha master hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the chaotic area of the Dark Star Sea... is very dangerous. It is filled with various alien energies that will block signals and consciousness. It would be a bit too much for you to go there in person..."
"Shut up! Do as I say!"
Sophie said coldly, not allowing others to question it.
It was impossible to ask her to stay here and wait for news when she didn't know whether her fiancé was alive or dead.
And when Sophie thought that Li Qi attracted a lot of women's attention just by going out, she couldn't sit still.
She was worried about Li Qi's safety, and even more worried that Li Qi would be chased away by some bad women during this period! So she had to go to the Dark Star Sea.
And she must find Li Qi and bring him back no matter what!
And this time, Sophie Yuna will never let him go!
