July 7, 2514 in the military calendar. Second Star Field, Phoenix.

Those who know the times are Junjie. When the heavily armored corps appeared, there was no one on the scene who still had the slightest will to resist.

Hold your head and admit it, and obey the control. It's shameful, but it's able to give up your life.

"Take him with you and go."

In Long Qicong's words, there seems to be a lack of human feelings. Neither enthusiastic nor cold, just a simple lack of emotion. But the more this happens, the more disturbing it becomes.

Escorted by armored soldiers, Long Qicong left the opera house. Waiting at the door was a whole column of armored vehicles, heavily armored soldiers, armed with guns guarding the perimeter.

They seemed a little uneasy.

Long Qicong was sent to a car, followed by Long Diyue and Black Fang. The man with the scar was seriously injured and was sent to the back for treatment by medical soldiers.

Zhu Di has been waiting for Long Qicong in the car for a long time. Seeing Long Qicong getting into the car, he showed a sweet smile and said teasingly. Regarding Long Qicong's wayward behavior, Zhu Di has no opinion.

"What's the matter, who provoked us to make such a big fuss?"

Long Qi never spoke, because he didn't know how to express the question. After thinking about it for a while, Long Qicong handed the things in his hand to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di only recognized it as an ordinary saber at first, didn't Chen Shitong just go wherever he went, and the weapon didn't leave his hand?

When Long Qicong handed the blade to Zhu Di, Zhu Di was stunned when he saw the special crystal black luster. Although there are many high-end samurai swords, the use of non-metallic composite crystal materials, can have this luster.

However, Zhu Di only looked at this and recognized that this thing was by no means the "bargain" of the so-called high-end goods on the market.

Under industrial production, there is only cost, no high-end.

"Bond material?"

Long Qi never made any return to this, and handed the thing to Zhu Di. After Zhu Di took it, he looked carefully, and saw a mark that was not unfamiliar at the position of the sword jaw.

"This is Drager's sword!"

Long Qicong nodded and said, "This is my grandfather's saber, Project RX-1." It was supposed to be within the borders of the Empire, in the rivers and seas of Antiga. ”

"Why is it here?"

Long Qicong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There will probably be a wonderful story, or not so exciting." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said suspiciously.

"Will it be ......?"

Long Qicong nodded and said Zhu Di's guess.

"I'm afraid I'm afraid it's the Federation."

The two seem to have reached a consensus on this, but it seems somewhat shocking. Zhu Di was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.

This is not only weird, but also ridiculous. Because the logic and motivation of the Federation to do so cannot be reasonably explained.

But if it wasn't intentional by some people in the Federation, could it be a coincidence? The hand of fate is behind the scenes, driving the development of the plot?

This statement is even more bizarre — with a bit of a conspiracy theory in mind. The two exchanged glances, both of which rejected the hypothesis.

But Zhu Di still felt uneasy in his heart and gave orders to his subordinates. The armored convoy recovered all personnel and evacuated immediately. Along the way, Zhu Di looked worried.

Long Qicong turned his head and looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

Zhu Di saw Long Qicong's smiling face, he couldn't get angry, and scolded angrily: "You still have a smile, make trouble for me!" ”

"Sister Zhu Di, it's you who agreed to let me come out to play."

Zhu Di glanced at Long Qicong, turned his head away, and no longer paid attention to Long Qicong. Long Qicong saw that Zhu Di was not in the mood to joke, so he didn't laugh at her.

The vehicle was driving, and the feeling of dizziness attacked Long Qicong's consciousness - this is an old problem, seasickness on a boat, and motion sickness in a car. Born and generally insulated from vehicles.

Leaning against the car window, Long Qi tried his best to resist the vertigo discomfort that hit. The convoy raced all the way back to the battleships docked at Starport.

The attack from the Federation, which Zhu Di feared, did not happen. The group returned to the battleship smoothly, but Zhu Di still had some doubts, and immediately ordered the fleet to sail away from the starport.

Hidden in the endless sea of stars.

When he left Shengjing City, Long Qicong had already determined that this matter had nothing to do with the Federation. It should have nothing to do with it, so it makes sense.

Zhu Di was a little too cautious.

After the fleet remained hidden for a while, and found no trace of the Federation's activities, it made contact with Xinghuang and began to sail back. Leaving Shengjing's sphere of influence, Zhu Di's talent was completely relieved.

Long Qicong thought it was interesting and said with a smile.

"Will the Confederation reach out to Phoenix? Do they dare? ”

Zhu Di glanced at Long Qicong angrily.

"What do you think?"

Long Qicong was stunned for a moment, no matter what the facts were, just Zhu Di's reaction was enough to explain a lot of problems. What do you think?

Long Qicong thought that with his own value, he took into account the madness of his opponent. Even the hinterland of the empire dares to break into, let alone the Phoenix state of Xinghuang?

Antigan was a real imperial territory, what about Shengjing, and what about Phoenix? Could it be that it is more difficult to go than within the empire? No, the territory of the Star Phoenix.

From the surprise on his face, Long Qi told Zhu Di that he had already reacted.

"These years ......"

"Who do you think is withstanding the pressure on you, and the new agents you find every day are enough for a deck of mahjong tiles."

Long Qicong was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly, "Four?" ”

"I'm talking about cards, more than a hundred. The Texas side is not much better, and Dregger's situation is probably not optimistic. ”

Saying this, Long Qi felt a trace of worry in his heart.

"I don't know, Chen Shitong and Chu Jiu will be in any danger."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said.

"You, at this time, don't you worry about yourself first?"

Long Qicong pursed his lips, didn't speak for a long time, turned around, turned his back to Zhu Di, waved his hand, and left the bridge. Zhu Di looked at the background of Long Qi's departure, and his heart was filled with an indescribable special feeling.

Long Qicong returned to the room and looked at his grandfather's saber. The past, one by one, comes to mind. Self-blame and guilt? Long Qicong thought about it for a long time, and the sadness in his heart seemed to occupy more of these two things.

With a heavy sigh, Long Qicong fell asleep in this sigh.

The next day, the scar-faced interrogation report also came out. Long Qicong was not interested in the long story, and looked directly at the conclusion.

A coincidence.

Unexpected? No, to be expected. Rather, this is the most hopeful outcome.

If not, there will be a lot of trouble. If the Federation is behind the scenes, it becomes terrifying. Because, if things are really like that, neither Long Qicong nor Zhu Di can see through what the Federation wants.

It is a very dangerous thing to not be able to see through the enemy's intentions.

Long Qicong handed the report to Heiya and asked casually, "Do you think this report is reliable?" ”

"Yes, master. I infiltrated his consciousness to determine the reliability of this report. ”

"You can also read memories?"

Long Qicong was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed. If you can read the memory, what bother to interrogate?

Blackfang shook his head.

"No, master. The memory can't be read, I just make sure he's lying, and with my abilities, I can detect a lie with a high rate of accuracy. ”

Polygraph ...... That's a time-honored interrogation technique. The actual effect still depends on the person. Long Qicong thought about it, this is not a fuss.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Blackfang to go down and rest.

After a few days of sailing, Starphoenix's fleet arrived at a hidden starport fortress. The two sides confirmed their identities, and the fleet anchored in the starport.

Long Qi got down from the battleship and looked around—this was neither a near-celestial star nor a sub-celestial star. You know that there must be more than two entrances to the Star Phoenix Realm.

There are two and there are three, and the cunning rabbit has three holes. Don't you allow Xinghuang to set up a few more entrances? Keep a few more, that one is not suitable for continued use, so just discard it.

Simple, convenient and safe.

Long Qicong thought that he was just resting here, but he didn't expect that this break would be spent in this fortress for a few weeks. During this period, Zhu Di also disappeared.

When asked about the staff of the flagship bridge, they only said that Zhu Di received a communication and left the fleet first. Long Qicong asked about the time again.

Since it was the day before the docking at Starport.

In this way, things seem to be different from what Long Qicong imagined. This is not the entrance to the Star Phoenix Realm, just an ordinary fortress of the Star Phoenix.

The reason for stopping here, I'm afraid, is the communication. Long Qicong didn't know the content of the communication, and his intuition told Long Qicong that something seemed to be wrong.

"That communication, is it online real-time communication, or offline communication!"

The young lady who was asked didn't understand Long Qicong's black words for a moment. That is, what is the name of the book that Long Qi reads, and it is not strange that the name of any industry pops up.

Fortunately, it's not hard to understand literally.

It's a set of text messages. Offline. ”

According to Long Qicong's analysis, generally important information needs to be communicated in real time to confirm the authority of both parties to the communication. The scenario of SMS application is only in extraordinary times.

For example, when your phone is running out of battery, you must be texting. Another example is the text message sent when the signal is poor. Another example is that when someone is listening, it is not convenient to communicate in real time.

Long Qicong thought about it for a while, it couldn't be that Xinghuang's headquarters was besieged by the Federation.

Anxin lived in the Star Harbor Fortress for a few days, serving delicious food and drink, and living a very nourishing life. This comfortable time can't make Long Qicong sink.

Just kidding, who lives in a small space and can't be happy? The corridors of the fortress are only a head taller than the height of the soldiers.

The rooms are also not spacious, with bunk beds and little private space. Fortunately, Long Qicong and his sister live in one room, but it's nothing.

Being in such a narrow space for a long time can cause great depression to people's psyche. Although he understands that this is a compromise on cost, Long Qicong still thinks that it is better to have a larger living space.

At least for people.

It's not without benefits, at least Long Qicong is so nourished by life, he won't sink. I picked up my grandfather's saber and practiced.
