1164 Blockade and Preemption
"There is news from the front that Aesop has lost contact and is suspected to have been captured by the Black Star."
As a high-ranking Modo civilization read out the information, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
After a long while, a senior military official spoke in a deep voice, "The plan should have failed, and now the situation is grim, what do you think?" ”
"I thought that if the weapon country made a move, he would definitely be able to complete the task, but I didn't expect him to be useless, and he was not reliable at all." Someone's eyes flickered, and he wondered, "Could he be deliberately leaking the news and letting Black Star sabotage our plans as a vote to rebuild his relationship with Black Star?" ”
"He won't do that, don't doubt him." The Three Kings of Modo shook their heads, "It is not his style to please Black Star, and the grievances between him and Black Star cannot be resolved in this way, and the vigilance of the three major civilizations against him will not disappear like this...... Let's think about how to deal with the impact of the failure of the plan. ”
Everyone also knew that this matter was not to blame on the Weapon Country, and even the forces of the Weapon Country that had high hopes could not escape, let alone their people.
But even so, the high-level people present were inevitably disappointed in the country.
"Aesop has the soul of a dead soldier in his body, and the black star can torture our plan, but the others are not afraid, they are only worried that the information of the soul turning instrument will be leaked out." Another senior said.
When deciding on the plan, the Modo civilization considered the consequences of failure, it seems that they are mysterious and do not want to be discovered, but this is only a necessary condition for completing the blame, in fact, what Modo is afraid of not being exposed to the plan and being known by the Black Star that they did it.
After all, they are enemies of each other, and it is right to engage you, even if there is no conspiracy, the Black Star Legion will not stop the invasion, since there is nothing to talk about, then they are not afraid of offending the Black Star.
Even if the three major civilizations know, Modo is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water - they are all fighting with the three major civilizations, and people no longer need this kind of excuse to find fault, it is completely a debt that is not pressing.
What the Modo civilization is really worried about is that after the plan fails, the information of the Soul Turning Instrument will leak out and be known to the Black Star.
However, since he chose to use the Soul Transformation Instrument for planning, he had to take such a risk, which was originally a risk, and it was impossible to have no risk at all.
Especially now that the Soul Turning Instrument is not in their hands and has been taken away by the Soul Turning Twins, it has added a lot of unexpected factors.
"Speaking of which, why haven't the Soul Turning Twins contacted us yet? The spiritual trap on them should have been triggered a long time ago. Someone asked in confusion.
"yes, it's been almost a month, and the deputy personality hasn't woken up yet?"
"Could it be that there was an accident, and the Soul Turning Twins suppressed the awakening of the sub-personality? But how is this possible, they are at most B-level superpowers, could it be that this is also the ability of the Soul Turning Instrument? ”
"Anyway, now is the time to prepare for the worst." The Three Kings of Modo said in a deep voice.
In everyone's mind, the spiritual trap set by the super A class against the B-level super power should be foolproof. Even the person in charge of the Marwell Project can't understand all the weirdness of the Soul Turning Instrument, and only the Soul Turning Twins are known to be able to use the Soul Transformation Instrument in the whole universe, and only the two know all the functions.
"Something must be taken, why don't we let our super A-level go to the Shattered Star Ring to find someone." Someone suggested.
"No, the super A-level is too conspicuous, if the identity of the descendant is exposed, there must be no return, and Black Star doesn't mind having another collection."
Most of the people present were not in favor of sending a super A-level to retrieve the Soul Turning Instrument, who doesn't know the hostile relationship between Black Star and us, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back.
At that time, the soul turning instrument was not recovered, but it had to take a super A-level, and it was lost to grandma's house!
For the soul recarnation, the Modo civilization has a very complicated perception, on the one hand, it attaches importance to its function, and on the other hand, it is used very carefully.
Over the years, they have secretly tested trillions of people, and in the end, only the Soul Twins have become qualified, and without two of them, this cosmic spectacle is like waste. And most of the time it is only used to exercise intrigues, such as replacing some important people in the industry with their own people. But once it is discovered, the soul is tortured, and it will involve Modo's own head and cause trouble, so they don't use the soul transformation instrument often, and most of the time they put it in the warehouse to accumulate dust.
Therefore, although the high-level executives present wanted to get the baby back, they were unwilling to pay too high a price and felt that it was not worth it.
Bang!
A high-ranking military officer couldn't help but slap the table, interrupting everyone's discussion, with a flaming expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, in other people's territory, any action is tied, if it were in our own territory, where would we need such trouble, we would have played Black Star to death a long time ago." ”
Hearing this, everyone was sad, and only powerlessness remained.
There is no way, Black Star's weaknesses are too few, his fists are hard, he has a wide range of contacts, he has many younger brothers, and he has a big backer behind him, and he is so desperate that he is desperate in all fields, and they really have no tricks.
……
Ten days later.
In the office of the main ship of the Black Star Fleet, Han Xiao received the information compiled by Philip and glanced at it.
"Is all the intel here?"
"Yes, hum, that's all the information we've gathered so far about the Soul Transiver."
Philip milked her airway.
In the past ten days, the Black Star Legion began a large-scale investigation based on the clues Han Xiao got from Aesop.
The first is to control the tracking team that was transferred to the soul at the beginning, find out some new information, and learn some information about the original transport force.
Originally, according to the plan, these dead soldiers who acted as spies would be re-removed by the Soul Remembrance after completing the mission, making it an accidental death event, leaving no clues.
But the sudden escape of the Soul Twins left them trapped in the bodies of the Black Star Legionnaires. Because they were worried about the monitoring of the Black Star's quantum network, they didn't dare to contact Modo's men and horses rashly, and they didn't know about the escape of the Soul Twins, and many people thought that they were going to continue to lurk and were caught.
After getting the information of these people, Han Xiao used the power of the Children of Destiny and several European Emperors, and cooperated with the carpet search, and captured several Modo Civilization warships that had not had time to escape from the Broken Star Ring, and learned the news of the escape of the Soul Turning Twins from these people.
However, the clue was broken here, and the people of Modo didn't know where the Soul Twins went, so naturally they couldn't provide information.
Han Xiao read the information, shook his head slightly, and exhaled: "Alas, the Soul Turning Twins can constantly change their bodies, and it's not easy to find them now." ”
He wasn't well-versed in the realm of souls, but he did know an expert, and that was the Oath Taker, the leader of the Covenant Order, the current host of Soul Flame.
This guy may have a way to find the Soul Twins quickly, after all, no matter how you change your body, your soul will not change.
It's just that Han Xiao tried to contact the oath-taker, but was told that the oath-taker had entered the sanctuary and hadn't come back yet, so he didn't know what he was doing inside, and he couldn't count on it.
"The current search methods only have virtual technology, bold explorers, and illusory luck, and they are not very efficient......" Han Xiao's eyes rolled, "The Weapon Kingdom should also be looking for the Soul Transformation Instrument, I can keep an eye on it." ”
While tracking down the Modo troops, Han Xiao received additional information and learned that some of the other ships transporting the troops had also lost contact.
But these spaceships did not fall into his hands, and after tracking, he found that it was related to the affiliated forces of the Weapon Country, and it was basically confirmed that the Weapon Country was also looking for the Soul Turning Instrument.
And since more than half a month ago, the three major civilizations have taken action, and some of the affiliated forces of the machine country pretending to be legitimate enterprises have been ordered to be closed up and temporarily banned.
Not only has it caused a lot of losses to the Weapon Country, but more importantly, a large number of affiliated troops of the Weapon Country have been frozen, and the number of people and horses that can be used at present has been reduced a lot, which has increased the difficulty of the Weapon Country in searching for the Soul Transformation Instrument in disguise.
However, Han Xiao felt that the Weapon Kingdom should have known about the existence of the Soul Transformation Instrument earlier than him, and the old nest of the Weapon Country, like Modo, had infiltrated the Old Star River for many years, and perhaps had some unknown information, so if you keep an eye on it, there may be an unexpected gain.
Various thoughts flashed, and Han Xiao spoke:
"Continue to investigate, report any situation to me, especially keep an eye on the affiliated forces of the weapon country, and don't let any troops out of our sight."
……
Half a month later, the edge of the Broken Star Ring Star Field, the Earth Ring Star.
This is a transportation transit station planet, located near the cross-star field stargate, with a huge passenger flow every day, a large number of long-distance interstellar flights to replenish various supplies here, and the planet management party is a cluster-level civilization of the Broken Star Ring, which belongs to the official control of the public transportation hub.
In the bustling streets, creatures of different races rub shoulders with each other, and the noisy and crowded atmosphere reveals prosperity.
Two figures, a woman and a man, walked down the street, observing their surroundings and talking in a whisper, it was the Soul Twins, Jill and Warren.
"Brother, has your deputy's personality moved in the past few days?"
"I only suppressed it once three days ago, and I'm almost exhausted, and I have to replenish some souls today."
"I'm the same, there are a lot of people on this planet, it's suitable to be a target, this is the last stop before leaving the Broken Star Ring, we have to suck a big wave, suppress it for a longer time." Warren said.
"Don't do it now, wait until we leave." Jill lowered her voice.
The goal of the two is to leave the Broken Star Ring, constantly change their bodies, and finally reach the edge of the Broken Star Ring without danger, ready to refuel here, and then escape the star field through the stargate.
In order to suppress the spiritual trap, the two sucked a lot of souls on the planets they passed along the way, and constantly "recharged", among which the victims were mostly beasts. It's not that the two of them have good intentions, but that they absorb too many intelligent creatures, which is easy to attract attention and is not conducive to hiding.
Now that they have finally reached the edge of the star field, as long as they escape, they will be basically safe, so the two plan to make a big vote in the end, absorb a wave of souls on a large scale, and find a way to completely remove the spiritual trap.
In this way, there is no need to commit crimes in other star fields, and it can be perfectly hidden.
"It's finally time to leave the Broken Star Ring, and we'll soon be truly free." Warren's tone was excited, and he felt infinite hope for a bright future.
"This is the first step in our hegemony!"
Jill clenched her fists, her eyes lit up with excitement.
The first step to realize the ambition is to be successfully taken, years of imprisonment, finally come to an end, as long as we are given time to develop, with our brother's ability and the miracle of the soul transformation instrument, we will definitely be able to grow into a giant in the universe!
At the thought of such a future, Jill was so excited that he wanted to **...... It's a pity that his current sex is female, and there is no chicken.
However, just as the two were looking forward to the future, a sudden change occurred, and the city alarm suddenly sounded!
Woowoo woo –
The piercing sirens spread throughout the city, and countless people looked up in astonishment, not knowing what was happening.
"What's going on?"
"This is a planetary alert, is someone coming to attack the planet?!"
Pedestrians on the street panicked, and the street where the Soul Twins were located was in turmoil.
"Brother, could it be that you're chasing us?" Warren chuckled inwardly, his face full of anxiety.
"Don't panic! No one would have been able to find us, and even if they did, they wouldn't have made such a big move. Jill was shocked.
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted: "Look, there is a fleet!" ”
Everyone looked up, only to see that the battleships broke through the atmosphere and were suspended in mid-air, and the black-pressed mechanical soldiers covered the sky, without a sign of power, and they didn't know what organization they belonged to.
At this time, the sound of the spacecraft taking off came one after another, and the defense fleet stationed in the earth and the ring star hurriedly rushed to the scene and issued a serious question on the wide-area communication channel:
"This is the command center of the Earth Ring Star Defense Fleet, you have broken through the planet's atmosphere without authorization, and you have violated the airport berthing law, please report your identity immediately!"
After waiting for two seconds, an old voice sounded in the wide area channel:
"I'm Mechanic Nation McNison, and I'll take over this planet for the time being."
When the voice fell, countless pedestrians were stunned to find that their communicators suddenly automatically disconnected from the network, and no messages could be sent.
There was an uproar, and everyone didn't know that the Weapon Country directly cut off the external communication of the Earth Ring Star and blocked the quantum network of the entire planet!
"Machine Country?! What is he doing here? ”
Jill's eyes widened, his face stunned.
The two escaped early, and they didn't know about Modo's subsequent cooperation with the Machine, and at this time they thought they were just innocent passers-by involved in the incident.
There is only one step left before a bright future, but at this moment, an accident occurs, and the two can't help but be shocked and angry.
However, on the other side is the famous Machine, even if Jill expands again, he knows that he can't afford to mess with people now, so he can only pray in his heart that the Machinenation will quickly finish the work and lift the blockade and let them go.
……
Meanwhile.
Among the main ships in the sky above the Earth Ring, McNison, a juggernaut clone shining with electric light, stood in front of the porthole, looked at the defense fleet outside as if facing a great enemy, and said lightly:
"Blockade the entire planet, don't allow any life to leave, the goal is here, let me sift through the creatures of the entire planet, and find it!"
Outside the window, countless mechanical soldiers landed, controlling the panicked people, and countless shouts rushed into the sky, faintly reaching McNison's ears.
He scanned the land, and was extremely sure that the Soul Twins were on the Earth Ringing Star.
His tracking process was quite tortuous, because it was not his own territory, and he couldn't make a big deal like the Black Star Legion, so he finally secretly intercepted a few transport ships, but he learned from the crew that the Soul Twins had escaped, and they also cut off clues.
However, McNison learned additional information from the inner ghost, knew about the spiritual trap of the Soul Twins, and used big data search to find that a large number of creatures on a certain planet lost their souls and became vegetative people, so he guessed that this was the work of the Soul Twins.
He searched down the road, found more similar incidents, determined the escape route of the Soul Twins, and finally locked down the whereabouts of the Soul Twins today.
Because the subsidiary forces were targeted and were being uprooted, McNison no longer worried about being exposed afterwards, and directly made a big one, blocking the entire Earth Ring Star to find someone.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the subsidiary forces of the Shattered Star Ring were suddenly frozen by the three major civilizations, causing the clues to be almost cut off in the middle and delayed for several days, he felt that he might have found someone long ago.
But even though I encountered many obstacles, I still succeeded!
"Although the spiritual trap is not a high-level secret, no one knows about those grassroots crew members, and Black Star naturally doesn't know about it, so he can only try his luck around, and he was so easily led away by me some time ago...... Tsk, fight with me, it's still too tender. ”
McNison shook his head.
A few days ago, he deliberately let an affiliated force block the planet in the opposite direction in his own name, pretending to find the trace of the Soul Turning Instrument to attract attention.
This suspicious plan led a large number of Black Star Legion fleets away, and in his opinion, even if Black Star received the news now, it would be impossible to reach the Earth Ring Star for a while.
However, in order to be on the safe side, McDison still blocked the quantum network of the Earth Ring Star and tried to delay the time for the Black Star Legion to get the information.
As long as he finds something, he will slip away immediately, and even if the higher civilization is held accountable afterwards, he will not want him to spit out the benefits of eating in his mouth.
