Chapter 92: Spaceship Competition and Challenge Book 3
Lin Yao and the other two looked at the lamb in surprise.
The little lamb got off the bed, limped over to her side, and looked at her carefully again: "I saw you this morning."
The little girl looked at him timidly and hid behind Ye Heng again.
In response to Lin Yao's question, the little lamb explained.
In the morning, when Lao Kui took him to buy things, he saw the little girl in the corner of the morning market.
"She was sitting on the ground crying alone, and several half-grown children surrounded her, bullying her and trying to snatch the doll from her hand."
The little lamb paused, recalling the scene.
At that time, Lao Kui was bargaining with the stall owner, and the little lamb was bored and tearing the outer wrapper of the candy beside him. Then he heard crying and laughing.
Following the sound, I saw several children bullying a little girl on the ground.
The little lamb couldn't bear to see this, so he ran over and drove the kids away.
The little lamb asked her where she lived and where her parents were, but she just kept crying and shouting for her brother.
"I had no choice but to use the peeled candies to coax her and wait for her brother with her." The little lamb scratched his head.
"Luckily, not long after, her brother came running over. He was a young-looking man. When he saw her, he immediately picked her up and comforted her."
"I scolded him at the time, saying how could he be so careless as to leave such a little sister there alone."
The little lamb curled his lips. "But he ignored me and just said thank you to me, then carried her away. I didn't expect... I didn't expect to see her here again."
Lao Kui suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he felt that the little girl looked familiar. It turned out that he had seen her at the morning market.
At that time, I was busy bargaining with the stall owner and didn't pay much attention to who the little lamb was talking to.
Lin Yao's frown relaxed a little. He didn't expect there was such a connection.
He looked at the little girl and asked softly, "Do you know where your brother went?"
When the little girl heard the word "brother", she raised her head, tears welling in her big eyes. She nodded and shook her head, then started crying softly again:
"I want my brother... My brother is missing..."
Seeing this, Lin Yao knew that he couldn't get anything out of him. The child was too young and probably couldn't explain where his brother had gone.
He was about to ask the little lamb to take care of the little girl, as they had to go out to do some work in the evening, but the little lamb suddenly spoke up:
"Brother Lin, I know that the one driving the red spaceship is her brother."
Lin Yao was stunned and looked at the little lamb: "Did you see it clearly?"
"That's absolutely right!" The little lamb said with certainty.
"When the red spaceship rushed over just now, it flew very low. I could see it clearly from the window. The man in the driver's seat was the young man from this morning. There was no doubt about it!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.
Lao Kui's expression also turned serious. He touched his chin and whispered:
"So, that young man is Old Scar's second son? I didn't expect that he would actually dare to seek revenge on One-Eye alone."
Ye Heng didn't say anything, but just looked down at the little girl who was still sobbing softly, with a dark look in his eyes.
Lin Yao took a deep breath and frowned even tighter.
The red spaceship has crashed, and the young man is probably in grave danger, but the child is still hoping for his brother's return...
He looked at the little lamb, then at the little girl, took a deep breath, and then asked the little lamb to take care of the little girl. He and Ye Heng returned to the room over there.
-
As soon as he returned to the room, Lin Yao irritably tore off the anti-flash mask on his face and threw it on the table.
He paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his hips, the sound of his heels hitting the ground being particularly clear in the silence.
Ye Heng closed the door and watched him walk back and forth.
Lin Yao's wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Ye Heng had walked behind him at some point, wrapped his warm palm around his cold hand, and pulled him back with unquestionable strength.
Lin Yao stumbled into a solid chest, the warm scent of the other person lingering on his nose.
"Don't move." Ye Heng's voice rang close to his ear, and his arms tightly wrapped around his waist, locking him firmly in his arms.
"There's no point in thinking too much. I'll just go and settle the score with him tonight."
Lin Yao struggled twice but failed to break free, so he simply relaxed, resting his forehead against Ye Heng's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice:
"What about the child?"
"There will be a way." Ye Heng rubbed his chin against the top of his head, and gently stroked the spine of his back with his fingers, as if soothing a furry cat.
"There's no point in being anxious now. It will only make you lose your composure."
Lin Yao remained silent and allowed himself to be held.
He knew he should stay calm, but when he thought of the little girl holding her doll and crying for her brother, and the flames of the red spaceship crashing, he couldn't help but feel agitated.
While playing around with Ye Heng in the morning, Lin Yao asked Ye Heng if the purpose of coming here was for One-Eye?
Ye Heng kissed his neck and said no.
Lin Yao asked again about the rumored second son who came for revenge. Ye Heng said to Lin Yao after a few words of force that there was no second son at all.
Lao Ba's family died under the knife of the One-Eye Butcher ten years ago.
There was indeed a rumor that there was a second son who survived. In fact, the child was found after Lao Ba's family was killed.
He was seriously injured at the time and was saved by the Akakage Guards who were on a mission.
But he was seriously injured and died within three days, leaving behind only a token.
The token is Old Scar's keepsake and the only thing left by the second son. The token can command the remaining followers of Old Scar.
Ye Heng came to Blackfish Star for a pass map, which was on the black market.
With the pass map, they can find where the remnants of Old Scar are. With the token, they have someone in their hands.
The two of them had also discussed that the third decade was about to come, and in order to secure his position, One-Eye brought up the old matter again and released such news to shock everyone.
However, none of them expected that One-Eye would be so cruel as to use a life to pave the way. Originally, Ye Heng wanted to get the pass map and leave.
But now, One-Eye's life is no longer necessary.
-
The night sky was like a piece of velvet soaked in ink, pressing heavily on the sky above the Black Fish Star.
In the square of the pirates' den, a bonfire was burning brightly, and the crackling flames made the shadows of the people around it stretch longer and shorter.
The smell of alcohol mixed with the aroma of barbecue filled the air.
Scantily clad dancers twisted their waists to the harsh electronic music, their bare arms tattooed with various space pirate totems.
Everyone is talking about a carnival here.
The one-eyed man sat on a high seat, his brass prosthetic eye gleaming coldly in the firelight.
He held a young girl in his arms, and in his left hand he played with a skull-shaped wine glass filled with dark green wine.
He clapped his right hand on the table from time to time, and laughed lowly along with the laughter around him.
"Boss, you are wise!" A burly man with a face full of flesh rushed over holding a wine jar.
"That ignorant brat dared to challenge you. Now, both he and his ship have turned to dust!"
The one-eyed man raised his head and took a sip of wine. The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth and across the scar on his neck, making him look even more ferocious.
"The remnants of Old Scar deserve this fate."
There was an immediate burst of cheers from all around, and the crisp sound of wine glasses clinking together could be heard one after another.
Someone flatteringly put a piece of roasted star beast meat on his plate.
Some people were boasting excitedly about what they had seen at the stadium that afternoon, saying how the flames from the crash of the red spacecraft lit up half the starry sky.
The one-eyed man narrowed his only remaining right eye, a smug smile on his face.
This is exactly the effect he wanted, to use a thorough and effective suppression of the rebellion to deter those forces that were ready to make trouble.
Let everyone know that on Black Fish Star, he, the one-eyed man, still has the final say.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the square.
The two guards pushed through the crowd with great effort, followed by a dozen men carrying a metal bracket, on which was fixed the wreckage of the red spaceship.
The hull was burnt black, the right wing was completely broken, and the cockpit glass was shattered into a spider web.
Only the eye-catching red paint mark on the hull allows people to recognize it as the modified boat that had been so popular in the race that afternoon.
"Boss, look what this is!" the leading guard shouted loudly, his voice filled with an eagerness to take credit.
The music and laughter in the square stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the pile of wreckage.
Some people gasped, some subconsciously took a step back. The light from the bonfire shone on the wreckage, and the shadow it cast was like a huge net, covering everyone's heart.
The one-eyed man slowly put down his wine glass, pushed the woman in his arms away, and stood up from the main seat.
He walked to the wreckage of the spacecraft, stretched out his right hand with metal knuckles, and gently tapped the charred hull, making a hollow "dong dong" sound.
"This is what happens when you go against me." His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the square.
"Whether it's the remnants of Old Scar or some other shady people, anyone who dares to touch my position will end up like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked hard on the wreckage of the cockpit.
With a "crash", the already fragile metal shell completely shattered, revealing the burnt and twisted joystick inside.
A deliberate cheer erupted from the crowd, but within this cheer, there was a hint of fear that was difficult to conceal.
The one-eyed man looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction, turned around and walked back to the main seat, picking up the wine glass again.
He didn't notice the two figures wearing flash masks in the shadows at the edge of the square.
Lin Yao and Ye Heng, who sneaked in, had already taken in everything here, including the half-bloody sleeve that was secretly kicked into the corner by the wreckage by the guards.
The night wind blew across the square, blowing up the sparks on the ground and also sweeping away the moment of dead silence.
The electronic music started playing again, and the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses filled the night sky once again, but everyone's face had an indescribable complex expression.
Just as One-Eye was about to take another drink, his second-in-command, a skinny man like a monkey, suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand and a flattering smile on his face:
"Boss, you've got a really great move! I think you can sit on the Black Fish Star's boss throne for another ten or twenty years, and no one will dare to say a word against you!"
These words touched the One-Eye Man's heart. He burst into laughter and was about to say a few words of praise when he suddenly heard an unusual noise at the entrance of the square.
The originally noisy crowd seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand and instantly became quiet, with all eyes cast in that direction.
Two figures walked into the square side by side, wearing the same black combat uniforms and flash-proof masks on their faces. Their eyes flashed with deadly threats under the light of the bonfire.
It was Ye Heng and Lin Yao.
They walked steadily, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart. The pirates around them subconsciously retreated to both sides to make way for a passage.
"Who are you?" The one-eyed man's face darkened instantly, and his right hand quietly reached for the gun at his waist. His brass prosthetic eye flashed coldly in the dark.
Ye Heng ignored the vigilant gazes of the guards around him and walked straight to the center of the square, facing the one-eyed man from a distance.
His voice was as cold as ice: "The one who took your life."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the square.
The one-eyed guards drew their weapons one after another, pointing their guns at the two men, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Take my life? Just you two?"
He narrowed his right eye and looked Ye Heng up and down. "You cowardly rats, I think you're tired of living!"
"You'll soon find out whether you're tired of living or not." Ye Heng said, taking out the copper token from his arms and holding it high.
In the firelight, the fox pattern on the token was clearly visible, and many space pirates who had seen Lao Scar in the past gasped.
"What do you mean by holding this thing?" The one-eyed man's smile froze on his face, and his eyes became sinister.
"What do you mean?" Ye Heng's eyes swept across the wreckage of the red spaceship, his voice full of sarcasm, "
What this means is that the 'Old Scar' you so painstakingly eliminated was just an innocent person you exploited!"
"Ten years ago, you slaughtered the entire Old Scar family, wasn't that enough? Now, to consolidate your position, you're even directing and acting in this drama yourself.
You are truly insane to use the life of an innocent person to intimidate everyone!"
The pirates in the square looked at each other, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at the one-eyed man.
The one-eyed man's face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that the other party not only had Old Scar's token, but also saw through his plan.
"Nonsense!" One-Eye roared, slamming the table and standing up.
"That guy is the remnant of Old Scar. The evidence is irrefutable. Don't try to confuse us! Capture them!"
Following his order, the guards immediately pulled the trigger and energy beams shot towards Ye Heng and Lin Yao.
A cold light flashed in Ye Heng's eyes, and a strong mental fluctuation suddenly erupted from his body.
"Mo Yun!" He shouted in a low voice, but his words were not finished yet.
A dark green anaconda appeared, its scales glowing coldly in the firelight.
Almost at the same second that Mo Yun appeared, Shasha also appeared, with an ice-blue shield precisely placed around Mo Yun.
Energy beams shot out one after another, hitting the shield heavily, making a "sizzling" burning sound, but failing to leave even a trace of a crack.
The black cloud's giant tail swept lightly, fanning the flying sparks to both sides.
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Yao's eyes, and golden-red vines suddenly shot out from the gaps in the shield, like countless sharp swords that had been waiting for a long time.
Some vines wrapped around the energy guns in the guards' hands, dragging them backwards and making them lose their balance;
Some of them directly whipped the gunman's wrist, and the sound of bones breaking and screams of pain came one after another.
In just a few seconds, all the front-row guards were knocked to the ground, and energy guns were scattered all over the ground.
The pirates in the square were so frightened that they ran away in panic. The one-eyed second-in-command's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clang and shattered into pieces.
But those snake-like vines did not let them go. They tied up all those who fled. No one escaped. After all, it was the vines that killed the most.
The one-eyed man looked at the banquet that was disrupted by the two people and was filled with anger.
After all, he had been through a lot of blood and gore, so he quickly calmed down and roared to the guards around him:
"What are you afraid of? There are only two of them! Go ahead! Kill them and you'll be rewarded handsomely!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Some space pirates who were blinded by the interests immediately picked up the weapons on the ground and rushed towards Ye Heng and Lin Yao.
Seeing this, Mo Yun didn't hesitate to sweep the area with his tail, and the pirates fell to the ground one after another, twitching in pain.
Those who were swept by its tail were fine, but some were directly knocked away by the black cloud and even had broken bones all over their bodies.
Shasha took the opportunity to expand the battle, and a large number of vines spread out like a tide.
It can tightly entangle the space pirates who try to launch a sneak attack from behind, and with a slight poke of the barbs, they will lose the power to resist.
Lin Yao stood in place with a shield on his body, and with a light tap of his fingertips, the vines expanded and contracted every time with incredible precision.
Ye Heng didn't know when a short blade with a cold glow appeared in his hand.
He stared at the one-eyed man with cold eyes and walked forward step by step. Mo Yun's huge body slowly moved forward with his steps.
Every step felt like stepping on the one-eyed man's heart.
The one-eyed man finally felt fear as he watched Ye Heng closing in on him. He retreated continuously, shouting incoherently:
"Stop him! Stop him now!"
But the guards around him had either been dealt with by Mo Yun and Sha Sha, or were trembling with fear, and no one dared to step forward.
The bonfire was still burning, but it couldn't illuminate the fear in everyone's heart.
This celebration banquet that originally belonged to Duyan has now become the stage for Ye Heng and Lin Yao.
