Chapter 13 Don't be sad, don't cry
"How did you get here?"
On the top floor, Jiang Yunqi leaned his hands on the red brick wall, his dark phoenix eyes looking at the bright stars in the sky.
In the vast sea of stars, which galaxy would be their home.
Long Yilan learned to smoke after only a few days of coming here, and lit the crude cigarettes skillfully, and the sparks flickered in the dark night.
"When I learned that you were surrounded by Zerg, I rushed to the scene without hesitation. However, when I arrived, it was too late. I could only watch "Empty Shadow" self-destruct, and the dazzling light seemed to illuminate the dark space."
"Everyone told me that you were dead, but I didn't believe it."
"I drove the mecha and launched a half-month search in the vast space. In the end, it was the Long family who captured me."
"Admiral, am I useless? I can't even find a piece of your clothes."
Her voice gradually choked, her fingers trembled, and the cigarette fell to the ground.
A breeze blew by, Jiang Yunqi tilted his head, and his clear voice seemed to soften: "But, you still found me, so don't be sad, and don't cry."
"I didn't cry." Long Yilan raised her foot to crush the cigarette butt and continued speaking.
"You died...half a year after you disappeared, the emperor died of illness. In the same year, the crown prince disappeared, and the fourth prince succeeded to the throne."
"On the day he ascended the throne, he issued a new decree to abolish the Military Affairs Council and establish the Council of Nobles in its place. Except for you, half of the remaining generals agreed, and half strongly opposed. The opposing party was almost all dismissed from their positions for various reasons."
Jiang Yunqi frowned. For thousands of years, the nobles have been the parasites of the empire. The previous emperors spent a lot of time and effort, and it took many years to drive most of the nobles out of the government center. But the fourth prince let several generations of hard work go to waste.
Long Yilan heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, the empire had been unstable since the death of the Marshal. Jiang Yunqi, who inherited his legacy, was also marked with death. The empire collapsed faster and faster.
"Anyway, when I died, the empire was increasingly unable to cope with the attacks of the Zerg and neighboring planets. According to rumors, those dismissed generals were either dead or missing.
"I guess it's because they were alive and blocked the way for some people."
"You still didn't tell me how you got here. "Jiang Yunqi could face his past, but he couldn't bear to put the word "death" on his best friend.
"You really are..." Under Jiang Yunqi's serious gaze, Long Yilan couldn't hide it. She raised her head and looked at the sky. Dark clouds floated over, blocking out the stars.
"After the fourth prince took office for half a year, he suddenly fell ill and died. The empire was in turmoil at the time, and star pirates were rampant, which seriously affected the safety of people's lives and property. I asked for permission to wipe out the star pirates." "
It's a pity that I didn't die at the hands of the star pirates, but at the hands of my own people."
Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes. What does it mean to die at the hands of your own people?
Long Yilan smiled bitterly: "As you thought, the royal family sent people to assassinate me. "
That person had very high mental power and was approaching you. My guards and I couldn't resist him at all. Before I died, I saw the symbol unique to the royal family. Few people know about this symbol, and I only encountered it once by chance in the Long family."
"Old man Long said that this is a unique mark of the royal family and no one can imitate it."
"Later, when I was in a daze, I realized that a huge energy was pushing me away, and when I woke up, I was here."
"By the way, my mental power level has actually dropped!" Long Yilan exclaimed, "This is simply too bizarre. "
Jiang Yunqi rubbed his left thumb habitually. There was a jade ring here in the past.
Connecting everything he knew, the context became clearer.
He and Long Yilan both came here before they were on the verge of death. Their mental power levels were also reduced. Two explosions not long after each other...
"Alan, where is your 'Iris Tail'?" he suddenly asked.
Long Yilan lowered her eyes and stared at her left hand, her tone full of nostalgia: "It's gone. Maybe it was destroyed in the assassination."
"Tell me, was it the mecha that allowed us to get here?" Jiang Yunqi murmured, "'Empty Shadow' self-destructed just to get me out of the encirclement, and you also felt a huge amount of energy when you were unconscious."
"What kind of energy can send us to the vicinity of the wormhole? It can only be the energy generated by the mecha's self-detonation."
"'Sky Shadow' is a biological mecha, and 'Iris Tail' is the leader of the ten major mechanical mechas. The energy of their self-detonation is enough to send us away from where we were at that time."
"Coincidentally, we encountered a wormhole."
The wormhole is a magical and special structure. It is mysterious and mysterious. Even in the interstellar space with highly developed technology two thousand years later, the research on it is superficial.
It is said that there is a genius scientist in the neighboring Federation who has been studying wormholes all his life. When he was very old, he drove a spaceship alone to try to observe the wormhole up close. However, before he got close, the powerful force immediately crushed the spaceship into powder.
After his death, the scientist was unable to explore the truth of the wormhole.
"Then we are really lucky to have survived a disaster. "Long Yilan was of course aware of the power of the wormhole, and patted her chest with lingering fear.
She thought of something again, and her peach blossom eyes lit up: "You say, if we can really come to the Blue Star two thousand years later through the wormhole, can we also see Old Xie?" "
Jiang Yunqi: "The conditions are too harsh, I just hope he can live to old age in peace."
Long Yilan: "Oh, yes, Old Xie should not be as miserable as us."
"What a pity, if Old Xie was here, that little brat Ji Heng might still be saved. His space button is like a treasure chest, with everything in it. If he were here, he could at least install a bionic leg for Ji Heng. "She shook her head and sighed.
There was a rustling sound at the corner of the stairs, as if someone was going upstairs.
The two people who were talking immediately stopped the topic and turned around at the same time.
In the darkness, a man followed the little girl.
"Ms. Long, this little girl is crying and looking for you."
It was Gu Bingchen who made up an excuse to come up and take a look.
Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at him rudely. It was obviously this uncle who pulled her to ask where the stairs were and bribed her with gummy bears.
In addition, Sister Long had been away for too long, and she went upstairs because she was a little worried.
She was not tempted by the sweet gummy bears!
Long Yilan squatted down, stretched out her finger and hooked Xiaoyi's nose: "Little glutton, the sugar stains on your face betrayed you."
"Huh???" Xiaoyi lowered his head and rubbed his lips with the back of his hand, which felt sticky.
Damn, he was caught eating secretly.
Xiaoyi immediately pointed his finger at the man in the shadows and complained loudly: "He bribed me!"
Gu Bingchen: "......."
Little bastard, why didn't the sugar stick to your mouth!
"Oh, by the way, how did you know Ji Heng and the others?" Jiang Yunqi's face was still cold, but his eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
In the Empire, Long Yilan hated children the most, so why did he get so close to a girl who was less than ten years old here?
Long Yilan: "How should I tell you?"
She spoke a few words vaguely and succinctly to recount the process of how she established friendly relations with the villagers.
A few days ago, Long Yilan woke up in a pit in a field near the entrance of the village. She felt sore all over and had a splitting headache. She opened her eyes and quickly scanned the area. She found herself lying in the center of the pit, surrounded by dirt, gravel and grass clippings. The soil was a little soft. She used her elbows to push hard and tried several times before she struggled to sit up.
Long Yilan used all four limbs and it took a lot of effort to climb out of the bottom of the pit. She supported herself with her hands in the mud and stood up with difficulty. What she saw was a scorched earth, half of the house collapsed, and no one was there.
Where is this?
Is she not dead?
The air here is turbid and filled with a strong smell of blood.
Then, she saw several cries for help from the ruins. They screamed and the sound lingered in her ears.
Long Yilan's face sank. She ignored her weak body and dragged her wounded leg towards that place. Blood flowed from the wound and she fell into the scorched earth.
In the afterglow, the staggering but resolute figure was stretched very long.
Jiang Yunqi was silent for a moment: "You have suffered."
"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt." Long Yilan shrugged, not taking it to heart, "By the way, Boss, the energy of this crystal core is very gentle, it can repair the essence...the supernatural powers that will be exhausted in the future."
The words came to his lips, but he took them around.
Gu Bingchen stopped and stood on the stairs, looking down at Jiang Yunqi who was several steps lower than him. His eyes were deep, hiding other emotions. He said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Jiang Yunqi said "Hmm?" and said, "Ask."
"The zombies in the research center and Zhu Qi a few days ago, they both seemed to have used an invisible supernatural power to attack us, and you resolved it both times."
"What I want to ask is, what kind of supernatural power is this?"
"You should know more about supernatural powers than me." Jiang Yunqi organized his words, and Long Yilan took the opportunity to go downstairs with caution, leaving space for the two to talk.
"Supernatural powers are linked to mental power. The higher the mental power, the more powerful the supernatural power will be."
"Then why don't you think that mental power can also be used to attack?"
Jiang Yunqi's question hit Gu Bingchen's heart like a heavy hammer, awakening him from his dream. He suddenly realized it.
Yes, isn't the strength of mental power the key to supernatural powers? Why can't they just use mental power?
It really doesn't take much time to talk to a smart person. Jiang Yunqi continued, "I think superpowers are the external form of mental power."
"Maybe you can try to concentrate and use mental power?" "
However, the difference from superpowers is that low-level mental power can never attack high-level mental power. On the contrary, high-level mental power has absolute suppression on low-level mental power."
Gu Bingchen suppressed his excitement and slowly digested these words. He looked at Jiang Yunqi meaningfully: "Great, you look like you are very knowledgeable."
Jiang Yunqi looked away and walked down the stairs.
It's nothing amazing, but he understood mental power earlier and more deeply than Gu Bingchen.
If it were anyone with mental power in the starry sky, they could connect superpowers with mental power.
The words just mentioned only serve as a reminder.
As for the rest, it depends on how they understand it.
