1161 Finding a needle in a haystack is our specialty (thanks to Wang Zi's alliance leader for a reward of 100,000 yuan!) )
The universe is extremely vast, even if it has extraordinary power, but if you don't have a large enough force in your hands, it will be difficult to achieve a climate in the interstellar society, and many things will not be easy to do.
And now the Black Star Legion is already the top warlord organization in the Star Sea, some people have money, cannons and ships, as soon as Han Xiao's supreme order is issued, the Black Star Legion's men left in the Broken Star Ring immediately obey the order, vigorously searching for pieces of galaxies, blocking various transportation hubs while looking for Aesop's traces, and the troops of Longtan Floating Island almost poured out.
Such a big movement naturally can't hide from others, and soon attracted the attention of the interstellar society, a little check to know, it turned out that the elders of the dragon constellation were lost, in order to search for him alone, the movement of the Black Star Legion indirectly affected twenty or thirty galaxies, and the card is not small.
Such a large search effort has affected the operation of some public facilities, and some interstellar citizens have complained a lot, but the signboard of the Black Star Legion is here, and the local civilization does not care about it, so naturally no ordinary citizen dares to take it seriously.
In addition to sending troops to search everywhere, the Blackstar Legion also issued a bounty on Aesop, which was spread through local media channels to mobilize the power of the people.
As long as you can provide all kinds of real clues about Aesop, you can get a generous bonus, such as sighting reports, transit records, etc., and if you can capture Aesop alive and hand it over to the legion, you can get a huge sum of 135 million Inars, which is a money that normal interstellar citizens can't spend in a few lifetimes, even for some small and medium-sized armed groups, it is an astronomical amount.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, some small and medium-sized organizations spontaneously joined the search team, and a large number of idle mercenaries also rushed into action, and even some star thieves and scavengers were secretly searching, hoping to get a reward and wash their hands ashore, and the local interstellar citizens of the Shattered Star Ring also kept an eye on it.
For a while, Aesop became a sweet spot in the eyes of countless forces in the Broken Star Ring, and was targeted by countless people.
At the beginning, Han Xiao was alone, and it was mainly due to Ferdin's luck that he caught Aesop, but now that decades have passed, his legion has long grown into a behemoth, and there is no need to play hide and seek with Aesop like before, as long as he spreads his power, he can make it difficult for the other party to move an inch.
Even if Aesop has a strong prophetic ability, in the face of this situation where everyone is the enemy, he can only see the stitches, like a mouse in the gutter, he can only act secretly, and dare not expose himself to ordinary people.
Of course, these arrangements are just the basics, Han Xiao's core search and arrest methods are Lodi's prophecy, plus the luck of Ames, Fordin, Nilo, and Harrison, as well as their own virtual technology, constantly determine the coordinates that Aesop may arrive on the star map one by one, and conduct targeted searches.
……
Dark red sandstorms obscured the sky endlessly, like a red curtain covering the entire planet.
Looking through the sandstorm with extremely low visibility, I saw a figure in a heavy hazmat suit walking alone in the desolate red desert, and the wind that swept the dust was like a heavy hammer, smashing on him with a muffled thumping sound.
After walking like this for a few hours, suddenly, a meteor-like fire pierced the sandstorm and crashed towards the figure, which stopped and looked, and a small spaceship that was getting closer and closer was reflected in the alloy mask of the protective suit.
Whew-
The spacecraft slowly landed in front of the figure, releasing an air force field fifty meters in diameter, isolating the surrounding sandstorm and creating a clean area.
The hatch slammed open, and the figure did not hesitate, stepping onto the spaceship, shaking off the gravel all over his body, and then took off his heavy protective helmet, revealing an old face, which was Aesop.
"You're the one who came to pick me up?" Isolt patted her helmet and asked.
"Yes, now it's up to us to send you out of the Shattered Star Ring." The captain greeted him and responded, "Don't worry, we are professional and absolutely reliable. ”
Isolt snorted and said, "The one-man capsule that sent me here hasn't been destroyed yet, you guys blow it up by the way, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the Black Star, it will be a prophecy medium, don't leave this kind of clue." ”
Because of the blockade of the Black Star Legion in the Shattered Star Ring, he was now struggling, and finally found a space capsule to fall on this barren planet, and waited here for a long time before waiting for this matching spaceship.
"No problem." The captain nodded.
The spacecraft lifts off and comes to a desert not far away, where it finds a metal capsule half buried in the desert.
Bang bang!
The guns fired two beams of explosive energy, shattering the capsule, and the flames ignited only for a moment, and then the wind blew them out, leaving only blackened and broken metal fragments all over the ground, which were gradually buried by the wind and sand.
After completing this work, the ship turned around and climbed up, shooting into the starry sky, leaving behind a trail of light that slowly dissipated.
At the same time, McNison, who was far away in the old galaxy, was synchronously summoned and opened a surveillance screen, which showed Aesop in this spaceship.
"Finally got someone......"
McNison looked at the picture, his eyes fluctuating slightly.
The ship that went to pick up Aesop concealed its power symbol for the sake of secrecy, and was actually affiliated with an organization called the "Mild Armed Transport Group", which was one of the secret forces that McNison had planted in the Shattered Star Ring.
Not long ago, the Modo civilization officially pulled him into the plan, revealing some information and asking him to help.
The Modo civilization is also helpless, the blockade of the Black Star Legion is too strong, they are inconvenient to move in the broken star ring, and they can't smuggle Aesop out at all, and they were almost discovered several times, so they decided to borrow the people of the machine country and let him relay the "delivery".
"Presumably, Modo used the Soul Turning Instrument to influence Aesop, making him run away on his own initiative, wanting to send him to death."
McNison stroked his beard and groaned.
In the information provided by the Modo civilization, they naturally concealed the existence of the Soul Turning Instrument, and only said that they controlled Aesop with some kind of mental manipulation method, without explaining it carefully, but they didn't know that McNison already had the information of the Soul Turning Instrument, and they understood what trick Aesop had won when they compared it.
As for Modo's battle plan, McNison had no intention of obstructing it, and even planned to cooperate to the end.
Aesop used to be a member of the Ancients, but he had already quit the organization, the Ancients were mainly immortals, and the Super A class was only the dominant one, not all members were Super A levels, and there were many strange people like Aesop who were very weak in combat but had special skills.
Although McNison knew Aesop, he didn't have much friendship and didn't mind sending Aesop to death.
In this regard, he and Modo have the same interests, and using Aesop's death to calculate the Black Star, there is a chance that he will be forced to violate the peace treaty of the higher civilizations, so that the prestige of the Black Star can be greatly damaged, and the great image created for him by the three civilizations will collapse, which is exactly what McNison wants to see, so he is willing to cooperate.
However, this is just the icing on the cake, and McNison's main goal is the Soul Remembrance.
"Aesop is currently in my hands, he must have been in contact with the Soul Turning Instrument within a certain range, by querying his whereabouts, you can roughly delineate the search range, and through comparing records, find the secret fleet of the Modo civilization that transports the Soul Turning Instrument...... The person who is in charge of Aesop's body now should be a person from the Mordo civilization, maybe he can ask with hypnosis. ”
McNison's thoughts raced.
He didn't know that the Soul Turning Twins had run away, and at this time, in his thoughts, the Soul Turning Instrument should be being transported back by the Modo Civilization troops, and the search direction had already deviated.
……
Some time after the ship carrying Aesop left, another fleet visited the dark red barren planet, with the Black Star insignia engraved on its outer armor.
In the command room of the main ship, Han Xiao, Ames, Ferdin, and others gathered together, and this fleet was the unit led by Han Xiao himself.
"Well, this is the planet, exactly the same as the prophecy, and it is also one of the locations where Fordin, Harrison and others chose to coincide."
Han Xiao overlooked the surface of the planet.
Luo Di's prophecy was not effective, but the basic information given was key, and Fu Ding and other European emperors with high-level lucky auras, at Han Xiao's request, randomly selected some coordinates in one search area after another, and Han Xiao focused on investigating the overlapping parts.
Although no clues have been obtained yet, Han Xiao still has confidence in this method.
And what he didn't know was that there were several times when he almost blocked Aesop, just by a fraction of a second, and this method was really effective, and in a sense, luck was the real insoluble solution.
"Monitor the planet for me, and report any unusual reactions."
With a wave of Han Xiao's hand, the spaceships immediately broke away from the team and flew around the planet, using various detection devices to detect the planet without dead ends.
The normal detection results were fed back on the screen in front of Han Xiao, and it didn't seem to be abnormal, but after a while, a spaceship suddenly sent back refreshing information.
"Report to the corps commander, we have found an extremely weak high-energy radiation reaction in a desert, the source is quite scattered, buried a few meters underground, do you want to excavate?"
"Dig!"
The surveillance footage quickly shifts to the ship's point of view, where the towing device on the belly of the ship stirs up the sand, sucking out pieces of charred metal that look like blown up mechanical parts.
"Report, the source of radiation has been located, and data analysis is underway...... After the analysis, this should be the wreckage of a space capsule, which was blown up by the blaster gun, and the molecules were affected by the energy, leaving a certain amount of high-energy radiation reaction, which is gradually decaying, and in a few days, the residual high-energy radiation will completely disappear. ”
"Looks like we're not late." Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
If it had been a few days late and the energy radiation had dissipated, the wreckage would not have been detected.
Now with this thing, it can not only be used as a medium for Lodi's prophecy, but also as a trigger for the [Bold Explorer], one to gain insight into the future, and the other to go back to the past, both at the same time.
Soon, this pile of space capsule fragments was sent to Han Xiao and his party.
Han Xiao picked up a piece of shard, looked at the scorching and molten marks on it, and muttered:
"It's not like it was attacked, it's more like it was deliberately destroyed, and it probably didn't want to leave us a clue...... It's a pity that he fell short, and our luck is strong. ”
Clenching his fingers and holding the fragment in the palm of his hand, Han Xiao brazenly launched the [Bold Explorer].
The line of sight rippled in circles, and the scene in front of him changed instantly.
He saw a capsule fall from the sky, smashing into the planet's surface, the hatch opening, and out of it stepped a figure in a covered hazmat suit, slowly walking away.
Although he couldn't see his appearance, he felt that this person was Aesop who didn't run.
Time seemed to be shortened, and it didn't take long for a spaceship to suddenly appear above the space capsule, shooting out two explosive beams, blasting the space capsule into pieces, and the picture came to an abrupt end, Han Xiao was slightly excited, and returned to normal sight.
This video is very short, but it reveals a lot of clues.
"This is indeed the space capsule left by Aesop, and then a spaceship suddenly appears to destroy the clue, which means that it is a ...... who came to pick him up"
Han Xiao recalled the appearance of the spaceship in the image, which was not a generic model, but a high-speed spaceship known for its leap speed, which was expensive and expensive, and not everyone could afford it.
"Philip!"
"It's coming, master, please command."
"Search for all the people and organizations in the Shattered Star Ring that have a lightlight-class shuttle, don't let go of a single one, and focus on marking the organizations that have a stronghold near this area."
"Huh?" Philip blinked his big eyes and had a pitiful expression, "That's a massive data buzz, which will occupy a large part of the computing power." ”
Han Xiao glared, "Then you don't hurry up?" ”
Philip sniffled, aggrievedly pulled a progress bar out of his pants, put it next to it, and then conjured a large box full of papers, jumped in and rummaged through it, and the progress bar began to move around at the same time.
After a long while, the progress bar finally reached the top, and Philip's head came out of the box, spit out a mouth full of confetti, grabbed a piece of glowing paper in his hand, puffed up his bun face, and exclaimed, "Humph! Found the buzz! Take it away, take it away! ”
"It's just that you spend a lot of work."
Han Xiao rolled his eyes, switched to the quantum network vision, and accepted the search results.
The huge data stream instantly poured into the brain, surging like a tsunami, and Han Xiao's brain domain capacity and brain computing power built a dam, easily blocking the impact of the data stream, without any discomfort, and quickly browsed.
"A total of 37,000,000 and 31 cases are in line with the case...... Hmm, let me see who they are. ”
Han Xiao sifted through it in his brain, read it in less than two seconds, and wrote it all down, and only a virtual mechanic could use this "stupid method" to lock on to suspicious objects...... As long as you have the ability to filter the entire ocean, it is not difficult to find a needle in a haystack.
Most of it is worthless data, but there is an organization that focuses on marking, which has attracted Han Xiao's attention.
"Mild armed transport group...... I seem to have some impression of this name. ”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and searched in the memory palace of his brain domain for a while, and the relevant memories suddenly came to his heart.
“…… Remember! This organization seems to be one of the affiliated forces of the Weapon Country that was exposed in the previous life. ”
Han Xiao's face became serious.
Although it was not yet conclusively confirmed, his instinct told him that it should be this organization that took away Aesop's men.
Doesn't this mean that McNison's old hanger is also involved in this matter?
Han Xiao didn't plan to question the Weapon Country, and if he asked, it would be in vain, and people would definitely not admit it.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Xiao turned his head to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice:
"Keep an eye on the Mild Armed Transport Group...... No, monitor all the organizations I mentioned later, I want to know their recent movements, but don't alarm them, follow me, don't close the net without my orders! ”
He had always known what some of the forces secretly planted by the Weapon Kingdom in the Broken Star Ring were, and he didn't want to startle the snake, but now that the Weapon Kingdom was suspected of intervening in this matter, Han Xiao decided to take measures to fully monitor all the subsidiary forces of the Weapon Kingdom in the Broken Star Ring!
