Chapter 145
A few days after the last interrogation, Aurora was taken away by special department personnel again.
Sitting silently in the maglev train, her mood was much more difficult to describe and complicated than the last time.
Aurora is not a fool. After an interview with a special department, she certainly knows that the matter is not simple.
The message sent to Ye Bai on the Star Network did not receive any reply. Aurora later slowly recalled that although they were in the Ten Thousand Worlds and on the same server, Ye Bai had never met her once.
This was certainly due to her busy work, but looking back now, it seemed too much of a coincidence.
At this point, Aurora had to admit that Ye Bai might not have died in the tsunami, and there might be complicated reasons behind it that she didn't know about.
"Wait... Why am I here? Who wants to see me today?"
However, after identifying the building he was taken to, Aurora couldn't help but ask questions. He originally thought that he was facing another inquiry from a special department, but this was obviously not the corresponding occasion.
The building before him was one of the most iconic structures of the Giant Star Sea, even printed on the fifty-beni collectible currency of the Fantasy Sea Civilization.
This is the political center of the Fantasy Sea Civilization on the Giant Sea Star, the Planetary Headquarters.
The staff member leading the way did not answer Aurora's question immediately, but took her all the way into the depths of the building, and finally stopped in front of a huge door.
"Go in, the king is waiting for you."
Wang... Aurora was shocked.
In terms of blood relationship, Aurora is also a branch of the Huanhai royal family, but from birth to now, he has only seen the king in the news.
Of course, the Fantasy Sea Civilization has a more advanced leadership selection system. The royal family is just more likely to produce a leader, but it is not a monopoly class.
Aurora's head was buzzing, and he walked into the meeting room not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.
The first thing I saw was the figure sitting on the throne at the end of the meeting room.
Every citizen of the Fantasy Sea Civilization could not mistake that figure. The queen of the Fantasy Sea Civilization had been in power for more than two hundred years.
A magnetic and gentle voice sounded: "Good afternoon, my child."
Aurora, who was originally extremely nervous, suddenly relaxed after hearing these words. The queen in front of her was so kind and so noble that Aurora felt relaxed and focused, and she could not have any other thoughts.
Next came Wang's gentle inquiries, asking about every detail of Aurora and Ye Bai's time together.
Aurora clearly recalled everything that happened between him and Ye Bai, just like when he was facing his most trusted relative, even including his own subtle emotions.
The queen closed her eyes, and was shrouded in a faint light.
When Aurora revealed the information, her memory scenes also entered the Queen's memory.
The countless civilizations in the Star Alliance are mainly divided into three factions: two cosmic civilizations and neutrality. As one of the powerful civilizations in the Milky Way cluster, the Fantasy Sea civilization has never revealed its tendency to take sides.
But at this time, the Queen of Fantasy Sea's ability, which was clearly similar to a mind connection, had already shown that the political system of Fantasy Sea civilization was more inclined towards an imperial form.
"Everything is for the tribe."
After Aurora finished pouring out the information, he said this oath about meeting the king, and said goodbye with a hint of trance.
The Queen of the Phantom Sea sat alone on the throne, her beautiful fingers with tiny scales and luminous light tapping gently on the seat.
After sharing memories, the Queen of Phantom Sea's understanding of Ye Bai was no different from Aurora's, or even more. Some abnormal details that Aurora naturally ignored due to the influence of emotions were clearly visible in the eyes of the Queen, an A-level psychic.
From that interrupted communication to Ye Bai's subsequent series of expressions about the Ten Thousand Worlds, all of these confirmed the two possibilities proposed by Mo Ke to a certain extent:
First, Ye Bai is Bai Ye's subordinate or spy. For some reason, he betrayed Bai Ye, an A-level psychic, so that the other party secretly came to the Fantasy Sea Star and triggered an abnormal tsunami.
Second, Ye Bai is "Bai Ye", and the pursuer is someone else, perhaps another A-level strongman who knows this secret.
Even though the second one may be incredible or even hard to accept, the Queen of the Phantom Sea did not completely reject this conjecture.
At the moment, facing these two speculations, as the leader of a civilization, the Queen of Fantasy Sea has to consider the interests of the entire Fantasy Sea civilization.
Obviously, these two pieces of information are not of equal value.
If the truth is the second one, and the Fantasy Sea Civilization can successfully investigate the truth behind it, it will undoubtedly gain huge benefits. However, now Ye Bai's whereabouts are unknown and he has completely disappeared from the Fantasy Sea Galaxy. All means are blocked at the first link.
After much thought, the only channel that can still be explored is Baiye Town in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
However, Bai Ye in the game is difficult to shake in terms of personal strength or territory, as the foundation of the Huanhai civilization in the myriad worlds, and forcibly trying to shake it will only result in more harm than good.
After thinking for a long time, the Queen of Phantom Sea finally made a decision. She entered the star network and connected to a special communication.
Soon, the complete file of the entire giant star tsunami incident was uploaded to the intelligence department of the Star Alliance.
After crossing one sequence after another, it was finally placed at the top of the list of "Extremely Important" and "Extremely Urgent" events and was immediately taken over and handled.
The Star Alliance, a machine with a wider and deeper coverage than the Fantasy Sea Civilization, is in operation. All the objects that Ye Bai has negotiated with in reality and their activity trajectories on all planets are clearly visible.
The Fantasy Sea Civilization secretly joined the Imperial Faction five years ago. The outcome of this matter is currently uncertain. Since the Fantasy Sea Civilization cannot explore it, it is better to submit it to the Imperial Faction of the Star Alliance and exchange it for political capital within the faction.
After doing all this, the Queen of the Phantom Sea brushed away the slight emotional fluctuations brought about by the shared memory of the Aurora, and sighed:
"Everything is for the tribe."
In Baiye Town, with the completion of the intermediate library, a group of professionals in the territory were sent in to study.
The existence of the primary library building itself carries an aura of "education speed increased by +5%" for the entire territory. After reaching the intermediate level, the effect of this aura increases again to 15%. If it can be upgraded to an advanced library, it will be doubled directly to 30%.
However, upgrading to an advanced library requires city-level technology and corresponding advanced knowledge.
With the addition of the intermediate library, the educational speed of the four schools in the territory has been further improved. It can be said that the entire Baiye Town is filled with the sound of reading.
At the same time, Baiye Town is currently carrying out the territory projects of [Accommodating Refugees] and [Expanding the Bibliography] simultaneously. Excluding this part of the consumption, the current productivity left in the territory is 32 points.
The accumulation speed is still accelerating. After all, the population has increased and there is no plague problem.
As for the issue of opening, Ye Bai has returned for nearly half a month, and except for the caravan, Baiye Town is still closed and not open to the outside world.
This closure not only affects the entry of players, but also affects the nobles who come to live in the territory. However, at the town level, even in the White Night Town with the most complete infrastructure, not many nobles are willing to visit. Developing tourism for NPCs is a business that can only generate large profits at the city level.
“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”
Ye Bai went to inspect the Source Crystal Mine. He saw more than a dozen [Micro Energy Extractors] that had been produced and were assisting in the work, serving as collection and lighting tools for the miners.
"Greetings, Lord!"
After walking out of the mine, the patrol soldiers guarding the mining area saw Ye Bai and immediately saluted her respectfully.
The opponent was wearing the newly invented [March Cloak].
With the influx of a large number of people, a group of young and strong residents who have completed their education were arranged into the army by Ye Bai. It is expected that all military units in the next batch of territories will gradually expand to a scale of more than 300.
Ye Bai responded to every resident who greeted him with a smile, and walked all the way to the mayor's office. Then his figure faded in the game and he went offline.
Back to reality, the familiar laboratory with a starry sky is still in front of me.
Ye Bai invested his mental power into the jade terminal.
Now that Ye Bai is in the chaotic star sea that is full of fog to her, she naturally dares not be careless. Even if she senses danger, as long as she is not really unable to get away, she will log off almost every day and check through the jade terminal to see if there is any new situation.
After checking the three major areas, there was still no content in the task area. He then scanned the new transactions in the trading area. After confirming that there was no information that required special attention, Ye Bai closed the terminal.
After "looking" at another document in the laboratory, Ye Bai connected to the Star Network again.
As soon as I entered my personal space, I received two new messages.
After opening the message, Ye Bai's eyes froze.
The two new pieces of information this time did not come from Aurora, but from 'Guzan' and 'Quinny'.
These two people were friends from two rare races in the universe that Ye Bai had met when they escaped together on the star Makul. Among the six people sent to the auction block, there was even a B-level Tianluo clan strongman named Xiliana.
At that time, the Makul Group was taken over by the Star Alliance. The group received a bonus from the Star Alliance for their contribution in cracking up the criminal group and rescuing others. They all registered Star Network accounts and added contact information.
But later on, due to the separation in reality, it was basically difficult to meet again, and we were not in the same "server" in the Ten Thousand Worlds, so the frequency of contact on the Star Network gradually decreased.
The two people who had not been in contact for almost a month sent greetings to Ye Bai at this time.
Not only them, but also the other five of the six people at that time, except Xiliana from the space wandering tribe, sent greetings within the past one or two days.
Even Aurora, who seemed to have vaguely guessed something, changed the language style of the new message, subtly revealing that he was looking forward to Ye Bai's reply.
Of course, faced with these messages, Ye Bai just read them quietly without replying.
When Ye Bai was in the chaotic star sea beyond the reach of the Star Alliance, the Star Network was the only way to contact her without any obstacles, and all the channels that could contact her in this way were used.
All this can only mean one thing: the Star Alliance has noticed Ye Bai, and is very likely aware of the close relationship between Ye Bai and "Bai Ye".
And if the Star Alliance becomes suspicious of Ye Bai’s identity, what actions will it take?
First of all, we must mobilize all available resources and use the strong control of the ethnic group over individuals to put practical and emotional pressure on all those who know Ye Bai in reality, so that they will try to contact Ye Bai.
No matter what Ye Bai replied, as long as there was a reply, it would reveal a lot of information.
Ye Bai did not blame the friends who tried to contact her, nor did she think that this could be considered a "betrayal". Her friends all had their own tribes that nurtured them, and she also had a major secret that she had to hide. All of this was inevitable and unstoppable.
But she didn't expect that this day would come earlier than she had expected.
Now that Ye Bai doesn't reply to anyone's messages and can't judge whether he's alive or dead, the only remaining breakthrough point is the "White Night" active in the game -
Ye Bai returned to the game, silently walked to the watchtower beside the city wall, and cast his eyes on the players moving in the wilderness.
"The storm is coming..."
