Chapter 183
Aesop had only taken two steps when he realized something was wrong.
My body is out of control... This is a familiar feeling, isn't it...
Aesop felt a chill in his heart. Brainworm parasite can be remotely controlled?
Never heard of it.
Or is Lu Ze here too?
Aesop wanted to see if Lu Ze was around, but it was obviously impossible.
What's more, he knew that even if Lu Ze was really here, he must have used some method to prevent others from seeing him, otherwise he would not have been discovered.
Aesop walked ahead with his eyes fixed on the ground. He was anxious in his heart, but his face remained calm. Even the words he spoke sounded like what he himself would say.
"Lieutenant Colonel Angel, regarding the return time after the escort mission, has Admiral Kadar confirmed it?"
Aesop: ...Fuck.
To put it bluntly, Aesop's mentality is a little broken.
He hoped that Angel could notice his difference, but he felt that was unlikely. How could someone who was not familiar with him find out that he was not the real person operating the account?
"The Admiral never mentioned this to me. I guess he has other considerations."
Aesop felt a little strange, as he had thought he could return home.
You have to know that the reason he led the investigation fleet from the main civilization this time was not only to provide support, but also to fix the mess he had made in the shortest possible time.
Now that the mission is completed, it should be time to return to the home system. However, not only is there no order from the home system, but Admiral Kadar here has not made a decision yet?
Aesop hesitated for a moment, as if something was different from what he had originally thought.
What's the point of staying here?
...Thinking of the parasitic brain worm and the weird and mysterious Lu Ze, Aesop felt that it might be a good thing to stay.
If I go back, something might happen.
Who knows what these evil Zerg that can parasitize and control minds will do? If a large wave of parasites comes, the main civilization will be finished.
Through the mental connection, Lu Ze, who knew Aesop's inner thoughts clearly, patted the brain worm's head: There is no need to convey all your thoughts to me.
Aesop thought really far ahead.
It is indeed a good idea to parasitize everything, but unfortunately the current conditions do not allow it.
There is only one brain worm in total, and no matter how much it parasitizes, it can't parasitize too many people... The most important thing is that His Majesty also rejected this approach.
Aesop nodded slightly and smiled. "Then I can stay in the Western Ring Star Belt for a while longer. I haven't been there yet."
"I heard it's very lively here. It would be nice if I could go shopping."
“…” It was indeed my first time here, and before coming here, I choked up, thinking that I would go shopping if I had the chance.
Asshole, how did 'he' know I had never been here? And why did Angel agree to it!?
Now Aesop didn't want to leave the mothership at all. He knew with his toes that Lu Ze, who was controlling him, definitely had no good intentions.
"After the handover is complete, if Admiral Kadar doesn't assign you any other tasks, Major General will be free to do whatever he wants." Angell said with a smile, "This period of time is the busiest in the Western Ring Star Belt all year. The entire trading market gathers almost every kind of goods from the entire galaxy."
"Maybe you'll run into someone you like, Major General."
Angel was not surprised at Aesop's words. It was natural for people who had never been to the Lost Star Zone Trading Market to be interested in this huge "Star Sea Trading Field".
And what he said was also true. As an interstellar trade market where the alliance could freely trade any 'goods', there was nothing that could not be bought.
Even many contraband items banned by the alliance can be bought here as long as you have the connections.
"That's great. I've always been interested in this place, but unfortunately I never have the chance to come here."
The home galaxy of the Ikal civilization is not particularly far from the Western Ring Belt in the Lost Star Zone, but for a person who has a job to do and cannot leave the home galaxy for a long time, four thousand light years is an insurmountable chasm.
Aesop numbly watched the conversation between 'himself' and Angel. He comforted himself by thinking it was just a casual chat and that Lu Ze had no intention of attacking Angel at the moment.
But considering that I was unconscious before I was hit, even if Lu Ze had done something now, I probably wouldn't be able to see it.
Then, as the conversation went on, Aesop felt something was wrong. Did Lu Ze know too much about his own situation?
If he was not very sure that it was not himself who was speaking, he would have doubted whether there was another him in the world. Otherwise, how could the things he said be no different from his own?
...Wait, these contents seemed to be told to Lu Ze by himself.
Half a month ago, Aesop was horrified after being interrogated by Lu Ze for a whole night. Could it be that Lu Ze not only wrote down everything he said that day word for word, but also applied it to other situations?
Speaking of which, he was questioned all night long that day. At first, he could still remember what he was asked, but later on, even he himself didn't know how many questions he had answered.
Because they were controlled, all the answers they spoke were true and genuine.
Although he rarely lied, he had never told so many truths in his life. Aesop felt that he had told all the truths in his life that night.
Fortunately, the other party didn't ask any private questions that were difficult to answer, otherwise I would have wanted to die.
Lu Ze: So noisy. I told you not to feed him the messy and useless thoughts in his head anymore.
Brainworm: Oh~I can’t tell.
…
Looking at the interstellar ports in the Western Ring of Stars from space, you can't see anything. They just look like assembled toys in the vast deep space. Only when you get really close will you find that they are actually countless huge monsters.
The passage, which is wide enough for people to walk side by side, is divided into walkways, car lanes, and dedicated lanes for aircraft and public transportation. The dedicated lanes for aircraft and public transportation trains are on the top two floors and require escalators to be moved from the side to reach them.
The main building of the Western Ring Star Belt has a total of nine floors, and the interstellar ports, interstellar universal orbits, giant man-made buildings, etc. built later have different numbers of floors. If you travel through them at will without navigation guidance, it is difficult to tell where you are.
The transport ships docked at the starport with the fleet, but the distance was not something that could be reached by just getting off the spacecraft and turning a corner. They were located dozens of kilometers away.
Aesop, Angel and the others went up to the aircraft lane on the second floor. After waiting for five minutes, a bus that could seat more than ten people stopped in front of them.
Lu Ze got on the bus a second before the door closed, then passed the people sitting in the front and sat at the back.
Aesop and Angel, who were sitting in the front, were still chatting, but unlike their previous casual chat, this time it was Angel who dominated the conversation.
"Did you find anything unusual during your trip to the Tianyun Galaxy this time?"
Hearing Angel asking about things related to Tianyun Star, Lu Ze paused for 0.01 seconds, and the next second he naturally took up Angel's words.
"Strange place?"
"I don't see anything strange about it." Aesop thought for a moment and said helplessly, "You know, this is my first time in the Tianyun Galaxy, and I'm not familiar with it."
"The report on this mission has been submitted. Colonel, are you asking if there's something wrong with the report?"
Angel: "There's nothing wrong with the report, it just feels like it went too smoothly."
It's a good thing to be able to come back safely, but it also undoubtedly cuts off the clues.
Angel sighed softly. "To be honest, we still have no clue about the disappearance of Major General Dorn and the entire fleet. That's why I wanted to inquire in detail about what happened during the mission."
"I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help."
"It has nothing to do with you." Angel waved his hand.
In fact, Ingres just asked this question and didn't have any expectations.
If something happened in the Tianyun Galaxy, the first to know would definitely be the Alliance. The Alliance was the owner of the "land", and they were at best farmers hired to take care of the land.
If the alliance didn't notice the problem, then they naturally wouldn't be able to find it either.
Angel's thoughts also reflected those of the people involved in the 'Tianyun Galaxy Fleet Hijacking Incident'. They had never considered the possibility that someone could evade the Alliance's surveillance - they couldn't afford to offend a civilization that could achieve this level.
Lu Ze's men touched the brain worm from time to time. He didn't want the Ikal civilization to notice the abnormality of the Tianyun Galaxy at this time. That would be very detrimental to His Majesty's next plan.
The brainworm lying on his knees turned over silently, hiding its belly and exposing its back to enjoy the massage from Lu Ze.
It needs to conserve its energy, as there will be a big scene that will need it later.
The public bus sped along the road, and about fifteen minutes later they arrived at the nearest entrance to the lower second floor where the transport ship was docked.
Lu Ze pinched the halo above the brainworm's head and looked at the people in front who stood up and were about to get off the car: I leave it to you.
Brainworm: No problem.
As it spoke, the halo above its head emitted a spiritual power that covered the entire bus in an instant.
Of course, this also includes everyone who has not gotten off the bus.
Psychic parasitism is the killer weapon of the brain worm. In addition, it also has the ability to weave illusions. However, since it is not usually used, its reputation in the field of mental illusion is obviously not as famous as the "Six Eyes" who specializes in this area.
Lu Ze followed them out of the car, but in his mind he kept analyzing and calculating what might happen next. If this trick didn't work, he would have to resort to other methods.
**
The Western Ring Star Belt has a comprehensive public network. Before leaving the mothership, Aesop notified the technicians to connect to the system on the transport ship.
So when Aesop and his team arrived, the passage connecting the transport ship to the corridor had already been completed.
The hatch of the transport ship was wide open, and you could see what was inside at a glance when you got closer.
Aesop started to feel terrified when he got off the car. He didn't know what was inside the transport ship numbered 2, but it was probably not the expected cargo.
Ingres was completely unaware of the tension of the people around him.
He looked at the boxes that had not changed much from the past, opened one at random, and when he saw the young Tianjia sleeping with eyes closed inside, he let go of the last bit of worry in his heart.
Aesop stood there motionless, feeling confused. He had no idea what he saw. All he saw was Aesop walking around in the empty transport ship, and from time to time he made gestures to the air as if trying to avoid obstacles in front of him.
With the mental power of a Class A brainworm, the small-scale illusions it creates are detailed enough to distort a person's five senses.
The scene was provided by A0, who had seen the transported cubs with Qi Heng, and then perfected by Lu Ze. This combination of punches guaranteed that there would be no mistakes.
Aesop was confused, especially when he saw the adult Tianjia people lying flat on their backs, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
What's going on? Why don't they seem to see this?
No, it should be said that what they see is not the same thing as what I see.
Was it Lu Ze who did it again?
How did he do that... Using mental power to create an illusion... That's the only way it could be, so Lu Ze was there after all.
In this way, while Aesop was stunned, they inspected four transport ships in succession.
There were only adult Tianjia people in three of the ships, and only one was filled with energy minerals.
For the Lord's sake, do pure energy ores that can be directly put into the power room for use without requiring secondary processing into energy blocks really exist?
After reading it, Aesop didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. He was relieved that there didn't seem to be many Zerg coming out of Tianyun Star, a rough estimate of no more than four or five thousand. He was worried about the fighting power of the Tianjia clan, which was famous in the star sea. Even if there were only five thousand, it would not be a small number.
"Excuse me, Major General."
After checking the transport ship, Angel said on the way back.
"It's not a big deal. This is my duty."
Aesop: —Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! How shameless!
Being able to use someone else's body so smoothly, MD is really a piece of shit.
With the brainworm acting as a transit station, Lu Ze, who had clearly heard Aesop's complaints, remained calm and said calmly to Angel:
"Since we have to go to the warehouse tomorrow, why don't you stay on the spaceship for one night to save yourself the trouble of running back and forth?"
"That's what I thought."
"Excuse me, Major General."
Aesop's lips curled up into a smile: "How can it be a trouble?"
He couldn't ask for more.
This solves another problem.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I thought I was fine, but after stopping the medication, my insomnia got worse. Sometimes it was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t stand it anymore and had to skip a day (I still have to continue taking Chinese medicine to regulate my body, I can’t stop taking the medicine QAQ)
Generally speaking, the situation has been much better in the past few months. The monthly updates are better than the previous ones. I believe that we will be able to return to the previous state soon.
