Chapter three hundred and eighteen the calm city of Kerna
In Kerna Space City, among the internal streets paved with steel and pipelines, former leader Flores Wanda sat steadily at the door of a street tavern, looking at the bustling people in front of him.
crowd.
There's everyone here. Wookiee mercenary pilots who walk upright like gorillas, Legg giant weapons experts who are huge as if they are carrying an arsenal of weapons on their backs, short but extremely fierce Dothan mercenaries, fat heads and big ears wearing helium helmets
Pekka's pig-faced gunman wears a gas mask, and they all look evil and show their teeth and claws.
They were walking in a passage without a sky, and the entire space was immediately filled with a ferocious and violent aura of over-expanded hormones. It felt like they would be pregnant if they stayed there for a long time.
However, these people felt that just by looking at the thugs who could chop someone's whole family into pieces, they tried their best to maintain restraint. As a result, in this disordered and chaotic nebula, there was something called order.
.
Leader Wanda thought it was too interesting and decided to continue to observe carefully.
The human heart is really worth pondering! The longer I get along with these darlings who claim to be the soul of the universe, the more I feel that although humans have their limits, the human heart has no limits!
He witnessed all kinds of things in the world, and suddenly felt that he had captured a certain reality of this world.
When he was the leader of a cult, he had a lot to deal with. The tedious academic work and boring public relations work took up almost all of his time. Even his own spiritual practice had stagnated, let alone thinking about the human heart, soul and the universe.
dialectical philosophical relationship between.
To put it bluntly, this period of escape was the most leisurely period of his ten years.
If this time continues for another three or four years, it will be time for me to challenge the realm of saints. Wanda thought.
He took a big sip of Bing Kuo Luo and looked at the stall not far away. A pirate who was a buyer and a smuggler who was a seller were having a full and frank discussion on the price of a phase cutting ax. Now they were about to
Enter the physical bidding process.
Just when the former leader was wondering when the two of them would fight, he saw a Minlan man carrying a big bag appearing in front of him, covering his sight. It was "Lawyer" Airu.
“What are you thinking about again?” Ai Ru looked at the other person.
"...I am thinking about the relationship between human nature and the universe." Wanda said: "I feel that as long as I realize this, the saint of the six rings will never be my end. Tell me, Airu, we who created
The life of today's civilized carbon-based creatures is actually so short! Because it is short, there are so many grievances. The monsters where grievances and grievances come together are the so-called various organizations. What about such a twisted existence?
How can it last in the long run? Airu, the more I become a leader, the more I understand that the human heart has no limits, but the organization formed by the distortion of the human heart must have limits."
“What exactly do you want to say?”
“Fellow Daoist Airu, I am no longer the leader of the church. Even if the seniors and big guys in the organization ask me to be the leader, I am no longer the leader. Even if I am beaten to death, I am no longer the leader.”
“…No, what you just said was clearly a violent argument that was intended to betray the organization! If I hadn’t known what kind of fuck you were, I would have blown your head off right now.”
"Be peaceful, fellow Taoist, be peaceful. Don't fight and kill at every turn. After all, organizations and organizations are different. I know the limits, and I know the limits are different. This does not mean betrayal. Just like people always
I want to fly, but I don’t have wings; the truth is on the left, but I can always step onto the desolation on the right. Do you understand?”
The lawyer was silent for a long time, and it was difficult to restrain himself from taking out a gun and blowing the opponent's head off.
In other words, if he hadn't been in the city of Kerna, a "holy place" for outlaws, he might have fired.
Although the managers of this largest space city in the Far Coast Nebula are very mysterious, the bosses with a little knowledge can guess what is going on and have been restraining their subordinates. Therefore, even the most unruly people
All the lawbreakers are very restrained in this space city.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. That young man named Yu Lian destroyed everything I spent nearly thirty years creating. But because of this, I was able to have this opportunity to think about the world. I must thank him.
"Wanda's expression at this time was unusually peaceful, and the focus of her eyes was a bit nihilistic. She felt like she would enter meditation at any time.
Hearing this, Airu sneered: "So, I shouldn't have taken the risk to save you in the first place. I let you continue to have fun with that genius boy from Earth, so that you can live up to his kindness!"
"No, forget it. I already have a goal in life. If I can't understand the relationship between human nature and the universe, I still need to be useful." He said seriously, still calm and relaxed, and now he is starting to have some treasures.
Looks solemn.
The "lawyer" sighed helplessly. During this period, when he saw the other party getting sick step by step, he suddenly felt a bit sad and desolate, so he said kindly: "I asked you just now, we
The ship has been repaired. However, the energy package required to activate the hyperbeam transition is currently out of stock, so we have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
"So, Fellow Daoist Airu, this is not my fault. However, you should have prepared enough energy packs from the beginning!" Wanda said slowly: "Although I was able to gain observation because of this.
Opportunities in the human world, but won’t this delay a lot of things? If we are well prepared, we might have already entered the empire by now.”
"...In order to be able to run, this ship is equipped with a stellar light sail; in order to be able to jump in the shortest time, it is equipped with the alliance's latest lightning wz14 engine. It also has a shadow screen system that was only produced in the organization's laboratory.
With so many things, do you think the burden on the hull will be very small? With so many things installed, how many energy packs can we carry? Moreover, we are a small ship after all. We have jumped thirty or forty times in a row, and the hull does not need maintenance.
Maintenance?"
“...So, this means sacrificing cruising performance for functionality? I see.” Wanda continued to nod calmly.
"The entire Luna galaxy is about to be reduced to a pot of porridge. The people on earth have set up a dragnet on the planet's orbit. If it weren't for those advanced numbers, do you think I can really bring you out?" Minlan said helplessly: "My original
The plan is to provide supplies and repairs here, and the organization also agrees."
“Don’t worry, fellow Taoist Airu, you see, there are only two of us here, and there will be endless disputes, let alone the concept of organization.”
"Lawyer" silently activated his calm and calm spirit in his heart, and finally calmed down his boiling emotions: "Anyway, we may have to stay in Kelna for three or four days."
"I understand." Wanda nodded and stopped talking. If he hadn't been looking around, people in Minlan would have suspected that this guy was about to emerge.
Probably because he felt that the silent scene was a bit embarrassing, Minlan said again: "...I just heard about two rumors."
"Oh." Wanda nodded in a conventional manner. If he hadn't thought it would be rude to remain silent, he would probably have omitted this sound.
"There is a rumor that the city of Kelna is being haunted recently. People have been missing in succession in the past few days. Yesterday, even the famous Legg giant pirate Long Jia disappeared. His men only went missing in his usual place.
I found the wallet he left behind in the back alley of the tavern I went to. Now, his subordinates have made trouble with the Imperial... Administration Bureau. Of course, no one is in charge."
"The wallet is left, but the person is gone?" Wanda found the blind spot, and immediately became interested: "Longjia? I have heard of his name... He is very famous among the smuggling gangs in the Far Shore Nebula, and it seems that he is still
A psyker."
“Yes! He is a gladiator.”
“However, this really has nothing to do with us.” Wanda said again.
“...Indeed, once the ship is repaired, what should we do? Even if this place is demolished by the people on earth, it will not be our business.” said the Minlan people.
Wanda felt that there was something in the other person's words, and finally showed a doubtful expression for the first time.
"The second rumor is that a group of people came to the port just now. They are members of the Red Skull Pirates. It is said that their large force encountered an Earthling fleet in a certain star area. They were all wiped out and only they were left.
Several. Also, Moda is said to have sent out all his men who could fight to intercept them."
“Oh, the spirit of the universe is here again, hoping to bless their souls, and I hope Mr. Moda can come back safely. I have met him twice, and he is actually a warm-hearted person.”
“…Shouldn’t you wish him victory?”
"If we really fight, it is impossible to win. Mr. Moda is a warm-hearted and good man, but he is not a famous general with great wits. Such a meaningless fight is bound to get no good results. We need to seek a win-win result.
." Wanda looked humble, as if she were a living saint.
“...I hope that the Rumina man can win, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Earthlings really come here.” The Minlan man sneered.
Wanda felt that her colleague must be telling a joke. Although he didn't catch it, he still laughed out loud to save face. Unexpectedly, the other person's face became even colder.
"You said before that the genius child of the community took most of the information from you. It should include the star map of the Far Coast Nebula, right?"
"How is it possible? I only know a relatively remote smuggling route. If I'm lucky, I can barely reach the Principality of Angmans. This is also my first time in Kerna City." Wanda shook her head.
The Minlan people nodded. Indeed, there are indeed many pirates who have visited Kerna City, but only a few people know the complete channel information, and they are all the mainstay navigators of major gangs. As for the complete star map
, anyway, he, Airu, did not record it in the database or information terminal, but recorded it all in his own mind.
That genius child on Earth has no reason to know this secret information.
Hence, the people on earth should be just carrying out retaliatory sweeps against pirates and smuggling groups, and it should be impossible to find them here.
“But speaking of the people on Earth, do you know this? Nokelsa Envisabart.” Wanda said suddenly.
“Huh?” Minlan was stunned.
"Nokelsa Envisabart! I heard this from Captain Yu Lian. It is said that this is a spiritual rune of the Salami giant. Maybe it can point to some ancient ruins. I have been thinking about it a little bit these days.
After checking it, I only found that the runes such as Nokai, Balt, etc. all seem to point to concepts such as luck and culture."
“…You’ve really started to study it! Are you really planning to cooperate with him?” He has just wiped out the business you spent thirty years building in one fell swoop.
"Why not?" Wanda folded her hands into a ten and said seriously: "He is such a genius. Even if he is the enlightener of the universe spirit in history, he is nothing more than that. He can fight against these people.
, even if you live to the end, you can’t laugh anymore. So, why don’t you try to find a win-win opportunity? Be peaceful. Fellow Taoist Airu, be peaceful.”
I just thought you were annoying before, but now I feel tired for the first time! Airu thought. But he also had to admit that this guy is more suitable for the magic stick than ever before. No, the code name of "education teacher".
If he had acted like this earlier, who would have dared to say that Wanling Sect is a cult?
"Anyway, I think you have a lot of free time these two days, why don't you go catch a ghost?"
“Be peaceful. Even ghosts are still life forms recognized by the spirit of the universe. Fellow Taoist, you must learn to let nature take its course!”
At this time, the truth about the haunting of Kerna City, an unknown creature that (in most cases) looks like a "little human girl" of fourteen or fifteen years old, begins today's hunt.
It is actually night now, it is the time when the pirates have completed today's purchase, and they are drunk and dreaming.
She decided to try her luck and reach the entertainment circle behind the port through the communication pipeline that can only be passed by rats, in search of a precious ingredient.
The Laig giant weapons expert from the Laigia system is a gift from heaven. The tenderloins of psykers who have been fully tempered are the best ingredients.
After being nourished by extraordinary power, the tenderloin has been fully mobilized, and the meat is tender and juicy. Coupled with active and vital cells, it is enough to nourish her body and mind that have gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Such rare ingredients, combined with a simple and straightforward eating method, make this food even more precious.
However, such dreamy ingredients are destined to be impossible to use frequently. She searched for several hours, and finally had to give up. Fortunately, this is a gift from the spirit of the universe, and there are foraging places that need to be developed everywhere.
Soon, the "little girl" dragged a lifeless Dotson mercenary and silently slipped into a narrow utility compartment. She stretched out her arms, her fingers and palms spread out to form a
A huge mouthpart directly dissolved and swallowed the flesh and blood of this short Dothan man.
This Dothan mercenary is not a psyker. The nutrients and biological information he can get are far less than the previous Legg giant psyker, but it is still better than nothing.
In fact, the Dothan mercenaries are short in stature, with carapace and membrane wings on their backs, much like a large upright beetle, and they are not very smart. But they are brave and aggressive, and they are born with a flea-level explosive power.
They are also a very popular group in the mercenary market across the galaxy.
The prey of the "little girl" is a squadron leader of the Doson mercenary group. His body shape looks more powerful, and the carapace on his body also shows an evil scarlet color. At first glance, he is a murderous gangster. Moreover, according to reports
He told his subordinates that he was still a sensitive person.
Such prey, even if it is not as dreamy food as psychics, can still be regarded as a gift from the spirit of the universe. As expected, the ultimate delicacy will only be given to hard-working predators.
Ever since, as every cell in the Doson mercenary's body was devoured by the alien species surrounding the little girl, explosive biological information was injected into her biological database.
"It can be used on the limb joints of all springtails... Well, if you adjust it like this, their explosive power can naturally be increased by three to four percentage points. Not just springtails, but all land troops can use it," she murmured.
He murmured to himself and stroked his belly.
“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and when we find a safe place, we can have a safe home.”
She wanted to cry again. You know, the three days in this space city were the most comfortable time she had ever had since she woke up.
There was no pursuit by that mysterious organization, no fighting everywhere, no psychic master who accidentally wanted to kill him, and no inexplicable artillery fire from the sky.
Happy times always make people weak and full of emotions.
However, she must cheer up.
There is almost enough food to eat here. Unless we take action against the two psykers who brought her here and the senior imperial officers who brought her here...
The "little girl" has just been a little unlucky recently, but she is not stupid at all.
She knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and she should leave as soon as she could find an opportunity.
