"Huh? Your forehead—" Before Yi Jun could finish speaking, the flower between the girl's eyebrows flashed and disappeared, and then it was gone. Was he seeing things?
Lian Han touched his forehead in confusion, "What's wrong with my forehead?"
Yi Jun looked at her suspiciously. "It's nothing. I probably saw it wrong."
"Let's go. Let's go find your father."
Lian Han rubbed her forehead, looking helpless. Although meeting the old man who called himself Shen Liang resolved some of her doubts, she was now surrounded by even greater mysteries.
However, it was always good to know that her mother was safe and sound in the Ice Tribe. This was somewhat similar to her previous guess.
However, the Pirates of the Heavens moved much faster than she had imagined; they left on a starship almost that same day.
Before leaving, Lian Han looked at the people working hard on the ground and silently imprinted this scene in his mind.
She wasn't a soldier, but after seeing all this, she should understand that Zhutian was different from other pirate groups. At the very least, she shouldn't harbor any more hostility—if it could silence the noise and return to Shen Liang's hands...
The two landed on a planet, transferred to a starship, and finally arrived at the capital planet six days later.
"What are you going to do next?" Lian Han asked Yi Jun after disembarking from the starship. After all, this man had a warrant on his arrest from the military. And she didn't believe he had no mission at all in the capital.
"Find a place to stay. If you need anything, I'll be there whenever you call."
Lian Han nodded, then handed him a card. "Here, take this. You can call me if you have any trouble. You might be able to use it when the AI has no signal."
Intermediate communication card
Effect: Transmits a message
Energy state: stable
Durability: 1 (automatically fails after 3 months from the start of use)
Yi Jun glanced at the card information and smiled, "You always manage to create cards with such amazing effects."
"As long as it works. I'm leaving. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Lian Han headed straight for the yellow hovercar area of Starport. The AI 003 took over the hovercar, and after inputting the destination Dilo, Lian Han closed his eyes to rest.
The yellow hovercar is an unmanned vehicle. Users can temporarily obtain the right to use it by paying a certain fee, which is calculated based on the mileage traveled.
[I have to remind you, the car isn't going in the right direction.] Seeing that she was almost asleep, Xing Yucheng reminded her.
Lian Han immediately opened his eyes, glanced at the unfamiliar buildings outside, and then realized that there was more than one way from the Starport to Diluo. He then opened his smart brain and found the map.
Their direction is almost completely opposite to that of Dilo. If you were to draw a line connecting Starport and Dilo, their current location wouldn't be on that line at all, and they would be quite far from both of those locations.
"003, Re-enter location: Dilo Academy".
"The current route and destination are detected to be the same. You cannot re-enter the route."
Lian Han: ?
Are you kidding me? This route doesn't seem to lead to Dilu at all!
[Okay, your smart device has been hacked.]
Lian Han frowned. [Black AI? A hacker from the Divine Alliance?]
[Only the Divine Alliance has hackers.]
[So why is the federal government bringing these dangerous individuals together? If they were to rebel, things could get really messy.]
[No. Hackers in the God Alliance have considerable power, even possessing secondary accounts, but they also face significant limitations. Therefore, hackers are only detected by the Skynet mastermind and come under its watchful eye. Once anti-human or anti-social tendencies are discovered, the mastermind immediately blocks the account, and the military then uses the coordinates to locate the real-world individual, resulting in life imprisonment.]
[And what about this one now?]
[Hacking into the AI is one of the hacker's capabilities, a right granted to them by the mastermind. Hackers are only punished if they cause substantial harm to the public.]
[In other words, the hacker will only be punished, and not even killed, after I'm sent somewhere to be killed.]
[...] Xing Yucheng felt inexplicably guilty and chuckled awkwardly, "[You know, there are very few hackers, less than a hundred so far, so it's not surprising that they have some privileges. Speaking of which, card makers have quite a few privileges too, and there are no restrictions.]"
[Besides the second account, have I used any others?] Lian Han rolled his eyes.
Xing Yucheng then asked, "Aren't you going to break through the window and escape?"
[I have Liz, and a scorpion.]
Therefore, it's the other side that should be running.
Xing Yucheng, who understood her subtext, twitched his lips; what she said wasn't wrong.
[So who do you think it could be?]
[There's no need to guess about something we'll know in ten minutes or so.]
The old man, speechless after being rebuked, silently went into hiding...
The car stopped in front of a small courtyard in the suburbs. Lian Han got out of the car, but before she could make a move, the little scorpion hairpin had grown from the ends of her hair to the top of her head, looking like a uniquely styled hair clip.
Noticing this, Xing Yucheng's lips twitched, and he began to pray for the people inside.
The door opened silently.
The wooden courtyard looked antique, but once Lian Han noticed the surrounding high-tech facilities like sensor doors, he knew it was only superficially similar.
Lian Han walked in. There was a courtyard in the middle, but it was surrounded by buildings. Lian Han followed the corridor to the back building, somewhat puzzled. [This courtyard looks really strange.]
[It's a traditional courtyard house design. Because it occupies a large area but can only accommodate a small number of people, it's quite rare. After all, villas are definitely more comfortable.]
[Oh.] Lian Han responded, and finally saw someone in a room. His face immediately fell—it was Ning Jue.
"What? You don't want to see me?"
"I think one should have some self-awareness."
One second he was saying he liked her, the next he was taking her away to prevent her from saving her brother—Lian Han still felt angry just thinking about it. He could have just said he didn't want her to be near Jiang Chenrui, and she could have accepted it whether they argued or he persuaded her to compromise. Why did he have to do this?
If Xu Yao hadn't found the guy who faked his death, Xiao Rui would probably have been executed by now!
Ning Jue said helplessly, "You're still angry. Have you forgotten that it was you who wanted to go to the heavens?"
His response was a cold snort.
"I asked Qianya and learned from him that Bingmo might not be dead, but my men were a step too late and someone beat them to it. Was it you?"
Lian Han found a seat some distance away from Ning Jue and began looking at the AI. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb. Qianya's attitude towards you is very special. It's not surprising that you can get anything out of him. Besides, Jiang Chenrui has already returned to school, and Bingmo admitted on Tianwang that he was the one who started it. This matter is over."
"I just got off the starship. It was all over before that. I have no idea. Why are you asking me? I don't know!"
Not just angry, but really angry.
Ning Jue rubbed his forehead, then opened the smart device and projected the image, "Take a look at this."
Lian Han glanced at it; the environment seemed familiar, similar to the medical room she had visited a few days ago, only the people inside had changed. After confirming that the person inside was Bing Mo, Lian Han sneered, "He deserved it!"
"You really hate him?"
