"Your Excellency, Madam doesn't have time to see you now. If you have anything, you can tell me." The old man with a serious face blocked Chen Guo's progress without a smile.

"I want to join the expedition, but I'm not a retainer or a mercenary."

Facing the old man blocking the road, Chen Guo was not surprised at all. It would be strange if she could meet Madeline Cullivan's aunt so easily.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't make a decision on this matter. Exploration is not a child's play. Every team member participating in the expedition has his own mission. There is no way to fully protect you, so please stay on the ship!"

Chen Guo really didn't know what to say when he heard this. The old guy's answer was impeccable and blocked all the roads, so he could only shrug and turn around to leave.

But not long after he walked out, he heard the old guy behind him arguing with a woman again.

"Madam, you can't take risks. You are the head of the family now, and you are no longer an adventurer."

"Shut up, Old John, I've had enough of your endless nagging. Get out of my way and don't make me whip you."

"Madam, even if you beat me to death, I won't let you go."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn, Chen Guo saw a mature young woman wearing a powerful exoskeleton armor, pushing the old guy in front of her impatiently.

It is not difficult to tell from their words that she should be Madeleine Cullivan's aunt.

"Tsk tsk, it's well maintained."

Before Chen Guo separated from Madeleine Cullivan, she heard her talk about her aunt. Her aunt had never liked the family's trader profession since she was a child. Instead, she wanted to be an archaeologist and adventurer.

Let the whole galaxy know she is a great archaeologist

But it is a pity that she has enthusiasm but no talent. She has never made any major discoveries or research in the field of archaeology. Finally, after spending all her savings, she was forced to return to her family and become a businessman.

Ronin.

It must be said that the talents of the Rogue Traders of the Kallivan family are frighteningly high.

Even Madeleine Cullivan, an aunt who didn't like being a rogue trader, finally succeeded in finding herself in this world full of intrigues, and it only took her just twenty years to complete her career.

The size of the fleet increased a hundred times.

You must know that when she first entered the industry, her family only gave her a frigate that had just left the factory.

Rejected, Chen Guo silently returned to the cabin.

Yes, I have to stay in this small cabin again. I have no choice. This is the consequence of living under someone else's roof.

Chen Guo has never been like this moment, wishing that she could own an interstellar fleet or even own her own interstellar fleet.

In this way, he can go wherever he wants in this vast and boundless galaxy, and he no longer has to act based on other people's faces.

After half a day, the fleet slowly stopped advancing.

Chen Guo learned through the radio that the entire fleet would be anchored in this unnamed unknown galaxy for fifteen Terran days.

During this period, the ship will open its sightseeing deck, and all crew members can go on the deck to experience the thrill of spacewalking up close.

Chen Guo also experienced a space walk. It was very shocking, especially when the traction rope slowly stretched out and he truly broke away from the spacecraft and floated completely in space. The feeling was very wonderful, like stars.

Right before your eyes, you can reach out and pick out the stars in the distance.

Because she had the spacewalk project to relieve her boredom, Chen Guo was in a particularly good mood these days. Even the frustration caused by her failure to break through to the fourth level of Thunder Horizontal Training disappeared without a trace.

However, when the parking time came to the seventh day, the spacewalk project was suddenly shut down, and all fleets entered a state of emergency. A large number of landing modules were successively launched onto the desolate planet in front of them.

Personnel outside the establishment like Chen Guo were even restricted from leaving their own cabins. It looked like something important had happened on the planet.

Chen Guo guessed that this was probably a mistake made by the disobedient family head.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are already a young woman and you are still so ignorant.

The alert continued until the fourteenth day. Seeing that there was still one day left before the departure date, the alert of the entire fleet was still not cancelled, and more and more landing modules were launched to the planet in front of them.

It seems that this planet has become a bottomless pit that eats people, ruthlessly devouring every intruder who breaks in illegally.

Soon, most of the fleet soldiers responsible for guarding each deck were removed, leaving only a few soldiers standing guard on each deck.

She tried talking to a certain soldier in charge of security for a while. Although his words were full of caution and he kept silent on many key questions, Chen Guo still came to a conclusion from his facial expressions.

.

His guess was absolutely correct. The expedition team of Carme Cullivan, the soul of the entire Rogue Trader fleet and the family head, and her retainers completely disappeared on the planet in front of them.

Not only that, the missing people also included the large number of rescue teams who landed from the spacecraft. They all disappeared without exception after landing on the planet. This is why there is a steady stream of landing capsules landing on the planet in front of them.

Go up to a planet.

But what does this have to do with Chen Guo?

Chen Guo should eat and drink every day, and she didn't feel nervous at all.

Since he wasn't allowed to go out, he could stay in the cabin and read a book, cultivating his state of mind and practicing the Thunderbolt Exercise at the same time.

I don’t know why recently, but Thunder Henglian, who was making rapid progress before, just refuses to move any further, as if there is an invisible barrier blocking his way forward...

On this day, it has been a month and a half since we parked in this galaxy.

The landing pod stopped launching downwards three days ago, because all the soldiers and retainers who were able to fight on the major ships had already descended, but they all seemed to have disappeared into the sea, losing everything without making a single ripple.

traces.

As more and more people lost contact, various rumors began to spread on the ship, and the panic was like a nightmare, bit by bit eroding the crew members with weak psychological endurance.

Fortunately, the retainer who temporarily commanded the fleet knew at first glance that he was an expert. He directly issued a bloody killing order. Once any talkative crew member was found who dared to spread rumors, the harshest death penalty would be waiting for him.

, and he is not the only one to be tortured, any crew member who heard the rumor and did not report it will be executed together, and the video of the execution will be played in every corner of the spacecraft.

Under such iron-fisted and bloody methods of governance, although the rumors like poison that attached to the bones did not completely disappear, they were completely suppressed and had no tendency to spread any further.

"Dong dong dong~"

A heavy knock on the door disturbed Chen Guo, who was meditating. He opened his eyes impatiently, "Who is it?"

"Your Excellency Chen Guo, I am Madeleine Cullivan, and I am here to seek help from you."

"Madeline Cullivan?" Chen Guo opened the door, and it was Madeleine Cullivan who stood outside the door.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go back?"

"It's too late to explain, please come with me!"

Madeleine Cullivan stretched out her hand to pull Chen Guo forward, but what she didn't expect was that in the next second, a soft sound came from "Puff~" and a huge fist directly passed through her chest, knocking

Her whole body was penetrated.

Madeleine Cullivan looked down at the palm that passed through her chest. She slowly turned her head. She didn't feel any pain on her face. Instead, she showed a puzzled expression: "How did you...find out?

mine?"

Chen Guo didn't speak. The silver-gray mask on his face flashed away. Under the strange runes, Madeline Cullivan turned into a naked woman with gray skin all over her body.

Pulling out his fist forcefully, seeing the wound on her back slowly healing like plasticine, Chen Guo stretched out his hand to strangle her neck, held her up and walked into the room, saying, "I'll give you three seconds."

You have some time to think about whether you should take the initiative to explain the situation to me."

"You can't kill me, I will come back to you!" Madeleine Cullivan's face was distorted and turned into a look that could only be seen through perspective.

"Who told you that I was going to kill you?" A cruel smile appeared on Chen Guo's face. He slowly stretched out his fingers and gently placed them on the top of the woman's head.

The next second, a weak electric current rushed into her body quickly, and the strange woman immediately let out a miserable howl. Her body suspended in mid-air began to twitch violently, and a large amount of blue liquid began to flow from her body.

Dripping on the body.

"Ahhh!"

The electricity was on for about a minute. Seeing that the woman's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Chen Guo slowly took away her fingers and said, "I'll give you another three seconds to tell me who you are and why."

Will it appear on the spaceship?"

"I want to eat you, I want to eat you bit by bit..."

"Eat me? I'm afraid you don't have such good teeth."

Chen Guo once again put her fingers on the top of her head. This time the electric current was even stronger, turning her into a fan. Her limbs were shaken by the electricity, creating afterimages, and more and more blue liquid began to flow from it.

It seeped out from her skin, and a faint floral fragrance began to fill the room.

"If you can't stand it, just say it. As long as you are willing to tell me the truth, I will stop..."

Chen Guo didn't expect that this woman was actually a hard-nosed person. She was electrocuted for nearly half an hour, and the blue liquid on the ground almost gathered into a small pool. She still refused to say anything.

Just when Chen Guo was considering whether to kill her to see if she would really come back to find him, there was another knock on the door outside the cabin: "Sir, my name is Madeleine Cullivan.

I need your help with something."

"Another one?" Chen Guo looked at the strange woman who was still alive in her hand, but only her muscles were still twitching. The face of truth appeared on her face again.

This time he didn't even open the door, but looked out through perspective. This time, the person standing outside the door really didn't run away, and was no longer an impostor.

Afraid that the strange woman in his hands would run away, Chen Guo did not dare to put her down. Instead, he held her up to open the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, this tough-talking woman suddenly began to struggle and beg for mercy.

He stood up and said: "Please, I said, I will say anything, please don't let me see her, I beg you, as long as you don't let me see her, I am willing to recognize you as my master, you let me

I can accept whatever you do..."

"Ha~" Ignoring her, Chen Guo directly opened the hatch. The next second, the impostor who was eye-to-eye with Madeleine Cullivan suddenly let out a scream that was more piercing than being shocked by electricity. Her limbs began to soften and melt.

In the blink of an eye, she completely melted and turned into a ball of blue liquid, which slowly dripped from Chen Guo's hand.

"Your Excellency...this?" Madeleine Cullivan frowned after watching the whole process, completely confused as to what happened.

Chen Guo didn't mean to explain, she stretched out her palm and put it on her neck, "Where did we meet for the first time? What kind of clothes was I wearing at the time?"

"...it was in the ventilation duct of the Star Port in the Devon Star Sector. You...were not wearing any clothes at the time. Later, you changed into my fiancé's clothes." Madeline Cullivan had an unnatural blush on her face.

Staring at her expression for a long time, Chen Guo retracted her palm and pointed at the blue mucus on the ground: "This woman just came to me disguised as you. After I subdued her, I tortured her for half an hour.

She refused to say anything, but before she wanted to see you, she suddenly gave in and said she was willing to accept me as Lord. The only price was that she didn't want to face you face to face, and then she melted in front of you...

…Do you have any idea?”

"Huh?" Madeleine Cullivan's face was still confused. It wasn't that there was a problem with her understanding, it was just that Chen Guo summarized it very briefly, and she just didn't understand what happened.

After explaining it carefully again, Madeleine Cullivan finally understood. However, she could not solve Chen Guo's question. Instead, she brought a new problem to Chen Guo: "Sir, I would like to ask

You go and save my aunt."

"Save your aunt? Go to this planet in front of you?"

"Yes!"

After hearing the affirmative answer, Chen Guo silently walked to the window and looked at the black planet in front of her with her back to the star.

It is like a fluorescent stone in the center of the abyss. Although all the crises in the surrounding darkness are covered up because of its light, the crisis will always exist and will not disappear just because it is invisible.

"What will you do to me if I say no?"

"I will never force you, but Your Excellency, my aunt..." Madeleine Cullivan said the first sentence without any hesitation, but the latter sentence began to hesitate.

"Keep talking!"

"My aunt... is very important. In order to rescue her, the family not only sent me, but also sent another family head, and issued a reward. Whoever can rescue her will receive extremely generous rewards.
