The universe is truly beautiful, vast, and mysterious. But it would be even better if there were no people around to get in the way.
—These are Lian Han's thoughts on his third day of being held captive.
At this moment, she was standing in the starship's viewing area, holding her light blue pet, gazing at the starry sky.
Beside Lian Han stood Si Jue, who smiled as he gazed at the starry sky, his eyes never leaving Lian Han. It was rare to see this young girl so well-behaved.
If Lian Han knew his thoughts, she would only give him a cold laugh. He'd taken away her nutrient tank and installed a signal jammer on her; what could she possibly do if she didn't behave?
Being kidnapped is bad enough, but how come this person is actually in cahoots with those pirates? I'm so angry!
The thought of her having to be his sister made Lian Han even more irritable!
"Sir." The pirate in black combat attire approached.
Si Jue's eyes held a sinister glint, then he ruffled the girl's hair. "I'm going now. Be good."
Lian Han: ...
Si Jue left with the others, leaving only Lian Han in the viewing area. The other passengers were still locked in the restaurant—there was no other way, as that was the largest space there.
"Yan Yan, what's so interesting about this starry sky? You've been standing here for almost two days." Xiao Ya said helplessly.
"Why don't you go back to your room to sleep? Aren't you afraid you'll wake up with your head and neck separated?" Lian Han said coldly.
Xiao Ya was speechless. What he said made some sense. After all, the pirates had already killed over a dozen passengers as a warning to others…
After standing there for a while, Lian Han suddenly let go, letting the little guy in his arms fall to the ground. The beast was immediately awakened by the fall, and looked at its master with its big, bright eyes.
Lian Han bent down and poked the little beast's forehead. "Xiao You, you've been sleeping since you boarded the starship. Why don't you sleep forever? Didn't you see your master is worried about your safety?"
Xingyou blinked, then pulled out two blue crystal cores from under his body, handing one to Lian Han and throwing the other into his mouth to chew.
Lian Han: "...Get lost! Who wants to eat your crystal core?" Before she could finish speaking, Xing You threw the other piece into his mouth as well. He did it so quickly, as if afraid Lian Han would snatch it from him.
"Get out of here right now!"
Xingyou paused in his chewing, seemed to consider it for a moment, and then started rolling around on the ground...
Lian Han's face darkened, while Xiao Ya was already laughing hysterically in her mental sea. Watching her silly pet act foolishly every day was so much fun! So—why did Lian Han have such a silly pet?
"Get lost, get lost. You're not getting into the room tonight anyway." Lian Han said, turning to leave.
As they reached the corner, Lian Han turned sideways and pulled out a dagger from who-knows-where, stabbing it behind him with swift movements!
The black dagger was even enveloped in a tiny vortex of spiritual energy!
The newcomer reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist and preventing Lian Han's dagger from advancing even an inch.
This is a difference in level!
Lian Han narrowed his eyes, and the spiritual energy attached to the dagger suddenly surged forth, attacking the newcomer's face—
His spiritual energy dissipated, and the dagger fell to the ground. The girl stared intently at his face, her eyes filled with disbelief and a complex emotion he couldn't decipher.
Xing Xiting had always known that he was extremely handsome, but this reaction didn't seem like that of a woman who only judges by looks.
However, doubt did not mean he would give up his plan to win the girl over. Taking advantage of Lian Han's shock, Xing Xiting grabbed both of her hands and pressed her against the wall.
"Mu Xiyue, is that right?"
"No." Having fallen into someone else's hands, Lian Han instantly sobered up. Facing the wall, his dark, bright eyes held a chilling coldness and sorrow. No!
"No?" Xing Xiting seemed surprised by her direct answer. "Then please explain what's wrong with your face."
"All natural. The interstellar space is so vast, why can't there be someone with a double face?" Lian Han said casually.
At the same time, Xiaoya tentatively asked, "Yan Yan?"
"I'm here," Lian Han said calmly.
“Yes, we found out. Xing Xiting is the youngest general in the Federation, and his status is even higher than the other three generals,” Xiaoya explained.
Why this face? How can this federal general look exactly like—that person?
"The problem is that you're re-porting the wrong person." And the location is wrong too.
The message he received was that Mu Xiyue was on this civilian starship, and that the starship had been hijacked.
"So, just like you, General, you're attracted to my face?"
"You know who I am?" Xing Xiting raised an eyebrow. How could he be so calm? Had his fearsome reputation been forgotten over the years?
"If you didn't know, you wouldn't have been so scared that you dropped the dagger." Lian Han's voice was cool, as if he were explaining why he had reacted so strongly just now.
This didn't sound like fear at all. Xing Xiting thought for a moment and said, "Your name? You'd better not lie to me."
"Mo Xi".
"Skynet?"
Lian Han raised an eyebrow, "Xingyou."
"I want to hear the truth," Xing Xiting frowned.
"Xiao Ya".
As soon as Lian Han finished speaking, she felt the grip on her wrist tighten considerably, but her tone remained completely flat, "Seven words."
Xing Xiting suddenly realized that he might have met a tough opponent. "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for forcibly removing your smart device to check it. As for the consequences—being an unregistered resident is punishable by death."
Federal law clearly stipulates that only those who possess AI are considered citizens of the Interstellar Federation, while those who do not are all unregistered.
Lian Han smiled slightly. "From the hostages' whereabouts to the surveillance program, and the number of pirates. The general could ask anything, but why did he have to ask for my Skynet number? That's a matter of privacy."
