Cattail fly (2)
The paper scroll that fell on the skeleton emitted a bright white light, like a thin piece of ivory, which was particularly beautiful and immediately attracted the attention of many children.
朏朏 came over, and with its furry little paws, it easily picked up the paper roll. It tilted its head to look at it twice, and it was not known whether it understood the content on it, but it obediently handed the paper roll to Shi Jianxia.
The nine-tailed fox, Zou Wu and other cubs nearby also came over and formed two circles around Shi Jianxia, tilting their little heads curiously, as if the paper roll was something extraordinary. Their cute looks made people laugh.
Shi Jianxia touched Xixi's little head and took the paper roll that it handed to him. The paper roll was cool all over and felt more like jade.
She slowly opened the scroll, and was stunned by what she saw.
There is a picture in the center of the scroll, and it is a dynamic picture.
The painting showed a blue diamond-shaped crystal with starlight flowing on the surface, and it was floating slightly as if it had life. It was almost identical to the first and second star cores that Shi Jianxia had seen before, except for the color.
Shi Jianxia's heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
Is this a clue related to the star's core?
She found a treasure!
Shi Jianxia looked down and saw five small characters "Bai Pu Xing Jun Shi" written in very neat regular script in the lower right corner of the paper.
White cattail star.
The contents mentioned in the notes of Mission No. 7 unconsciously emerged in her mind -
'The sixth star core is related to Baipu Star, and mission number five has failed.'
Before, the original owner’s cousin Yue Wuyin came to see her and handed her a card with her home address and contact information on it. Coincidentally, the planet where the address was located was Baipu Star.
At that time, she wondered whether the sixth star core was related to the Yue family and was planning to find an opportunity to take a look. Unexpectedly, the clue came so suddenly. Gonggong actually picked up a skeleton in the sea. This paper scroll was obviously related to the star core, and it was most likely the sixth star core.
Jun family.
Shi Jianxia's eyelids twitched slightly.
Jun Xiaoyi's surname is Jun. Coincidentally, he had taken the butcher knife inlaid with star core fragments from the weapons trove of Nan Teng Military Academy.
The color of the star core fragments on the butcher knife is exactly the same as the color of the star core on the paper scroll.
Could it be that Jun Xiaoyi was responsible for No. 5's failure to obtain the Sixth Star Core? If so, his taking the butcher knife wasn't a coincidence, and he likely knew the Sixth Star Core's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Shi Jianxia felt that the situation was a bit tricky.
She had originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly take the butcher knife from Jun Xiaoyi, but now it seems that this plan is likely to fail and will make Jun Xiaoyi suspicious of her.
Shi Jianxia lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then put the paper roll in his hand into the space bracelet, preparing to go back and think carefully about the next plan.
As for the skeleton on the beach, she took out a larger storage box and carefully placed it in, controlling the flow of water.
If this skeleton is really related to Jun Xiaoyi, she plans to return it. Even if she doesn't return it, she must bury it properly.
After finishing all this, Shi Jianxia continued to call the kids to work, and it was not until four o'clock in the morning that he returned with several large boxes full of insect crystals.
After returning to the Nixie dormitory, Shi Jianxia searched for "Bai Pu Xingjun Clan" on the Star Network. Unfortunately, this family didn't seem to be well-known, and there was basically no information related to it on the Star Network. However, some other entries popped up.
[Cattail flies invade White Cattail Star]
This news was released more than a year ago, and it included photos of the cattail fly and related introductions.
The cattail fly is a type of fly insect. When it is young, it is only the size of a human thumb. The largest cattail fly discovered so far is as big as a millstone. They feed on the blood of animals. They have sharp mouthparts on their heads with barbs on their mouthparts. When they pierce human skin and then pull out, they will tear off a large piece of flesh and blood.
They have dandelion-like fluff on their tails, which generally look like flies, so they are named dandelion-tail flies.
A creature whose blood is sucked by a cattail fly will turn into a dried corpse, and its death will be extremely horrific.
Shi Jianxia didn't dare to look at the photos of the dead for too long. He quickly exited the news and looked down to see if he could find any useful information, but unfortunately there was none.
She had no choice but to exit the Star Network and think about her next plan.
When she was thinking about whether to test Jun Xiaoyi's attitude, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" shook in her spiritual power spring.
It’s a jade brand!
More than a month later, the doctor sent a message again.
[Number Seven, Number Five is dead. I'll give you ten days to go to Baipu Star and bring back the sixth star core. Number Four will come to help you.]
It was just such a short sentence, but Xia's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her head, and a vague picture flashed through her mind.
"You are really good at making sarcastic remarks. If you have the guts, go meet that lunatic. If you can come back alive, I will carry your shoes for the rest of my life!" Number Five said with a forced smile as he stood in front of the transparent experimental tank.
"Don't make excuses for your incompetence, idiot." Another voice sounded, and the last two words were spoken with great contempt.
Number Five was enraged and tried to grab with his five fingers like claws, but was grabbed by a cold, slender, white hand and pinched to the side without mercy. Number Five was obviously not prepared and his wrist was broken, causing him to let out a shrill scream.
The brief scene ends.
Shi Jianxia took a deep breath.
The person who mocked Number Five had a very familiar voice, exactly the same as hers.
Obviously, this is a memory of Number Seven. The location seems to be in a research institute in Higanbana, and the experimental jar contains Number Nine.
He closed his eyes, floating naked in the transparent liquid. His short hair was floating slightly with the bubbles produced by his breathing. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and he seemed very weak.
Whose hand is that at the end?
Shi Jianxia tried hard to think for a long time but couldn't remember what happened next in the scene.
This was the third time she had recalled a memory related to Number Seven.
The first time I thought of was the scene where No. 7 was in the same scene with No. 9. The second time was when I recognized No. 5. Perhaps the current scene was the scene where No. 5 returned to a research institute in Higanbana after the failure of the mission on Baipu Star and was ridiculed by No. 7.
Number 7, who was also searching for the star core, recorded this incident in the mission notes.
Ten days.
The doctor hadn't given her a deadline before. It seemed that the successive losses of the first and second star cores had really made him anxious. He didn't know what the punishment would be for not completing the task.
Number four.
Shi Jianxia had no impression of this number and couldn't even remember whether the other person was a man or a woman.
She pursed her lips and looked at the calendar. She originally thought that she would have to take a leave of absence, but she unexpectedly found that after class tomorrow she would have a seven-day holiday.
Shi Jianxia immediately booked a ticket for the interstellar spaceship to Baipu Star for the next night.
The next day, she went to Nan Teng Military Academy. She planned to test Jun Xiaoyi's background and get the butcher knife from him, but she didn't see him the whole day and he didn't reply to her messages. When she asked his classmates, they just said that he had taken a leave of absence.
It was not until the evening that Shi Jianxia received his reply, saying that he had asked for leave early to go home due to something, and had just got off the interstellar spacecraft.
She took the opportunity to ask him where his home was, whether the situation was serious and whether he needed help as a friend.
Jun Xiaoyi replied quickly, mentioning that she lived in Baipuxing, and said that it was just a small matter that could be handled quickly and she didn't need to worry about it.
Bai Puxing, Jun Xiaoyi, the sixth star core, and the new task given to her by the doctor.
Shi Jianxia couldn't help but wonder if the red spider lily had done something on Baipu Star, and it was related to Jun Xiaoyi's family, so he could only hurry back.
She didn't make any blind guesses and hurried to the interstellar port and boarded the interstellar spaceship.
