As soon as Gu Hanhan returned to the ship, he was called to the bridge by the captain Katarina.

In the bridge conference room, Senior Xiaobei was also there, sitting at the table across a chair from Caterina, and when he saw Gu Hanhan entering the door, he smiled wryly at her.

Caterina stood up and asked, "Why, Leos?"

She looked behind Gu Hanhan, and she didn't see the shadow of anyone else until she closed the door, and couldn't help frowning: "Why didn't he come back with you?" When he went out in the morning, he clearly said that he was looking for you, why, aren't you together?"

"They were originally together, but now they are gone," Gu Hanhan smiled, "At noon in the university town, he ran away with a lady who looked like a young musician." Do you think he'll be able to get back now, my dear Sugar?"

Caterina couldn't help but be stupid: "Then he won't be able to come back tonight!"

"Look at this. She picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Gu Hanhan.

"What's that?"

Gu Hanhan took it and saw that it was a letter signed by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of Xuhuixing. When the letter was opened again, two thin paper coupons were pulled out of it. The size of a banknote with a face value of 100 yuan is more delicate than the average red bill, surrounded by gold leaf edging patterns, and the back of the cloud and fog cover draws a magnificent building, vaguely a church. Turning over the front, a corner is embossed with a gold feather logo representing the Bright Sect, which is very eye-catching, and in the center is a round gold coin shape, which is also made of gold leaf, with exquisite patterns on it, and it can be seen that it is a crown of thorns, and a circle of words is suppressed around it, all of which are ancient Germanic languages. From the top, clockwise, there are four sentences, which is the opening paragraph of the Holy Law.

"Isn't this a indulgence?" Gu Hanhan deducted the gold coin, and found that it was embossed, so he said, "So this is the indulgence of the Bright Sect here in Xuhui Star?"

"Where did it come from?" she asked.

"The communicator at the port sent it early this morning on behalf of their trade department. Caterina replied, "It was said that there was a grand sacrifice of the Cult of Light here in the Harbor Sanctuary tonight, and we were invited to attend the ceremony, and this is the VIP ticket. ”

"This is really ......," Gu Hanhan said, "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, I am looking for it! ”

She flipped the two admission tickets in her hand and couldn't help but laugh: "The Bright Sect in this place of Xuhui Star has an idea, it can sell tickets for the sacrificial ceremony, and it is in one step, and it directly sells the indulgence coupons on the tickets together, and even saves the effort of minting coins, this is a fucking talent!"

Caterina reacted as if she had found a pick-up man.

"Are you interested?" she said happily, "It would be great if you were interested! Xiaobei and I have been worried about who to send to this ceremony for a long time. No problem now, it's fitting that you're here in the evening on behalf of our Queen Isabella. ”

"Why is it no problem," Gu Hanhan objected, "People invite the captain and the trade representative, how can I represent? Besides, I have an experiment at night." ”

Senior Xiaobei immediately said: "I also have experiments at night..."

Caterina really didn't have anything to experiment with, but she immediately gave herself a reason: "I...... I want to see the boat!"

What is the reason to look at the ship?

Gu Hanhan was dumbfounded, their Queen Isabella was obviously running aground, and now it was a large immovable fortress, what else did it take to see?

Caterina probably felt that this reason was not very reasonable, and after saying that, she was a little hesitant: "Why don't you go? Anyway, a religious sacrifice ceremony, it's just like that." ”

"Of course you have to go," Gu Hanhan hurriedly said, "I've inquired, this sacrifice is the only ceremony of Xuhui Star in recent times. In order to explore the reality of the Illuminati, we must not miss this sacrifice and must attend. ”

Saying this, Caterina and Senior Xiaobei looked at each other in surprise.

In comparison, the surprise of Senior Xiaobei is more simple, and the surprise of the female captain is even more informative.

"You say we need to get to the bottom of the Cult of Light?" she asked.

"I was about to tell you about it, Captain. Gu Hanhan said, "Today I went to Xuhuixing's university with Leos and found something very interesting——"

She rummaged through her pockets and found the small pale yellow flower that had been left there early in the morning - it had been nearly ten hours since it had been pinched off the branch and stuffed into Gu Hanhan's pocket, but it was still bright in color and delicate, like a new life.

Gu Hanhan handed it over: "Let's see if you know you, Katarina?"

Caterina took it with a solemn expression: "This is...... Energy crops?"

The delicate branches of the little flower pinched between Caterina's fingers, and with a slight twist of her hand, a few faint bits of light flickered and swirled, and the pale yellow petals had withered to ashes.

Senior Xiaobei looked even more curious: "Energy crops, what is it?"

"It's a plant that grows quickly by absorbing energy, and I've seen it for the first time — no, strictly speaking, it's the second time. Gu Hanhan grabbed a few more from his pocket and threw them into his hands, "You can take them back to the laboratory and look at them, Senior Bei, it's very fun." Leos said that as long as they are triggered, they will bear fruit quickly, and there will be seeds. ”

"We found this thing in a Illuminati sanctuary at the university, and they were all over the place, vines crawling all over the walls. In addition, there is a whole set of energy devices, although they are all very old products, but they are still working and working. ”

She said, "The energy crops and the running energy devices undoubtedly reveal the fact that the Sect of Light here has the backing of superpowers. Of course, all religions are backed by superpowers, and behind the Temple Cult is the Acropolis, and as a branch of the Templar Sect, the blessing of energy should be the basic operation. But this Sect of Light is obviously not normal, Leos and I went to visit their seminary and listened to their religious history, although the Sect of Light of Xuhuixing is nominally a religious sect under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sect, their doctrine and various signs have been undoubted, this sect has actually lost contact with the Divine Sect headquarters for hundreds of years, and it has already become a self-contained sect- I know that there are so many out-of-control branches in the history of the Templar Cult that they can't even declare them heretical, and that no one cares about this in the Acropolis. But the fact that a church can survive on its own for hundreds of years without the support of the Acropolis and grow is obviously not something that can be achieved by devout faith. Behind them must be a complete superpower, an independent, wild and powerful force that has no direct connection to the Acropolis. The only thing that cannot be confirmed now is whether this force comes from a certain group of people or from a certain group, and whether the transmission of power and power has evolved to the level of a family or a more primitive form of promotion. ”

"Leos thinks that the source of this power should come from a certain person at the moment, so he has already investigated from this direction, and in the way he is good at, none of us can help at the moment," Gu Hanhan said, "But we can't expect Leos to do everything, in the other direction, the organization that operates and uses this power, and it depends on us to figure out how to make up its forces." The first to bear the brunt of this is the Sect of Light, after all, it is an old tradition of the Temple Sect to control secular power through religion, even if this Sect of Light has been separated for hundreds of years, I don't think there is reason to be an exception. We should attend this ritual and see it for ourselves. Public ceremonies have always been an important stage for religious power, and looking at the invitation, there will be many powerful figures from Xuhuixing, and you will definitely be able to find clues and breakthrough points. ”

Caterina's eyes lit up when she said this, which meant that on the issue of Xuhui Star, Gu Hanhan had reached a unity with Leos and was willing to align with her and the position of Queen Isabella.

She nodded again and again: "What you said makes sense, Hanhan, we have to go!"

And said: "You can't count on Leos for everything, his set, it's more time to mess up!"

Caterina and Gu Hanhan have their own tacit understanding, but Senior Bei didn't know what to do, and was surprised to hear them say this: "Why do you want to investigate this? What do you want to do?"

"Of course you want to get this star," Gu Hanhan smiled, blinked and said, "Let's see if I can make you an emperor." ”

This is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which blew up Senior Bei so much that the roots of his hair were about to stand up, "I? Xuhui Xing!"

He sat back in his chair and said with difficulty: "I thought we were fleeing, Hanhan, I thought the politics and religion here had nothing to do with us-"

"Shouldn't we think about it now, shouldn't we find a way to finish the experiment and get out of here as soon as possible?" he asked, "instead of doing anything to the Earth Emperor......

"Problem: We can't go now!"

Gu Hanhan and Caterina glanced at each other, and they both thought that it would be more appropriate for Gu Hanhan to pierce this layer of window paper.

So Gu Hanhan said frankly: "Queen Isabella currently does not have the ability to directly make long-distance space jumps out of the channel, which has nothing to do with the performance of the spacecraft. The energy consumption of the folding space is huge, which we can't afford at all, even if we can barely afford it, there is still a long way to go, unless we get the energy supply of Xuhui Star and even the entire Sunrise Alliance - this number must be conquered by politics, otherwise we have to go out to be pirates, and rob the star field. ”

Senior Xiaobei was speechless and hugged his head, wanting to refute but didn't know where to refute. It's not that he hasn't thought about the problem of the lack of energy in the cut off of the channel, it's actually that they have landed on the Xuhui Star for less than 24 hours, doesn't it mean that the cut off of the channel is a common thing every once in a while? Maybe it won't be long before it can be restored, why not talk about robbing it in just one day, and he is also trying to rob an entire planet and become the ruler in a grand manner.

Gu Hanhan didn't know how to get rid of Senior Xiaobei, after all, she was forced to do this, and her enthusiasm was really not high. In the end, he leaned over and hugged him. He patted him on the shoulder to comfort and tease him, saying, "Don't worry, Senior Bei, I'm joking with you." Although Xuhui Star must be taken, the emperor may not be able to do it. How can you also be the trade representative of the earth, and if you really want to become the emperor of the earth here in Xuhui Star, it will be too embarrassing for Mother Earth. This will definitely not work! Don't say you don't agree, I won't agree. ”

However, Senior Xiaobei didn't look comforted, and he couldn't laugh, so he could only leave it to time to solve.

Gu Hanhan turned to talk to the female captain about the next: "I think let's have a meeting, captain, take advantage of this now, tell everyone about this matter, and by the way, finalize the candidates to attend the celebration in the evening." ”

Corterina couldn't agree more.

Seeing them discussing seriously, Xiaobei got up quietly and was about to leave the conference room, but was stopped by Gu Hanhan.

"Don't go, Senior Bei," she said, "you also have to attend the meeting, representing our lab." ”
