Chapter Twenty-Eight--Haunted Shadows
"So your men have failed again." An ethereal, resentful female voice spoke.
"You, scum, scum! How dare you disappoint Lord Motriti again and again? There will be no next time, Chriss, and if there is a next time, I will take off your head and apologize to Lord Motriti. ”
It was none other than Chrissyrus who was threatened, who was kneeling in his palace. It is said to be a palace, but it is nothing more than a cave covered with countless wriggling pieces of flesh, bloody limbs, and bones everywhere.
"Ah, Lord Motriti! You have come with great success, and your subordinates have not been far away, and they hope to forgive their sins. The voice suddenly became respectful.
"It's okay, Mercury. This failure was expected by me. Arise, Chrissellus. Although it looked like a dark shadow, the voice was undoubtedly Motriti.
"Your Excellency, although I failed, my subordinates have sent back a very valuable message." Chrisselis said respectfully.
"Oh? Let's hear it. Motriti seemed interested.
"The last message from my subordinates says that an earthling, Zhang Chuanlan, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, holds a weapon of the same material as yours."
"What? It's not ......" The man called Mercury didn't have time to finish, but apparently wanted to say that it was impossible.
"It's not impossible." Motriti interrupted her, "Go on, Chrisseris. ”
"His weapon looks identical to the shape of the gun, and emits an invisible shockwave."
"Oh? Have you ever seen a sword? "There's something strange about Motriti.
"I can see what every Creselis sees. In Io, I saw his weapons. ”
"It's kind of funny...... When I found the Master of Swordsmiths on Earth, he acted as if he had never seen black gold. Whether he lied to me or whether he found him later is unknown, but since an earthling has a black gold sword in his hand, it means that there may be more than this one on the earth. Mercury, this sword is yours. ”
"Master Semotriti. The subordinates set off immediately. Rong subordinates retired. ”
"It's a strange thing, why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it, after defeating Chrisselis and repelling Davian's fleet...... If he still clings to the ridiculous laws of the Empire, he probably won't meddle in it, and if he renounces the Empire's creed, then he should come and ruin Chrisselis or Davion...... Could it be ......," a thought flashed through Motriti's mind, "no, it's impossible. ”
There is only one circumstance that can make Jun take such an ambiguous approach, and that is that the emperor is still alive. But it had been more than 2,000 years since the Apocalypse was destroyed, and Motriti didn't feel the slightest stir. Is it too much to worry about......
"Chrisselis, how many more spies do you have on Earth?"
"Your Excellency, I have a spy on Earth's top."
"Tell him not to expose himself, the earth is already under the protection of Jun, and it will be difficult for me to go and investigate in person." Motriti was a little weak-hearted, "Cut, there should be remnants of the party under this guy......"
Flagship of the Third Fleet, command room of the USS Washington.
"This is your home, Lena." Parana looked at the little magister, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.
Before leaving, let Lena stay on Earth with Histasa to assist in the defense of the Earth. Although he should not interfere in the affairs of the earth, since he knows that Motriti is behind the scenes of Christelis, he must ignore this matter. Although Lena is a little naïve and casual, she is considered a rare opponent in the galaxy, and with her alone, she can win 100,000 male soldiers. And the problem of Lina's residence was naturally solved by Paraná, who trusted him the most.
"Wow, this battleship is so big. I've never seen a battleship this big. It turns out that this is how it works inside. Lena's face was white from eating marshmallows, but she clearly had room to speak.
"Of course, this is the most powerful ...... on Earth"
Before Barana could finish speaking, he saw Lina's expression suddenly change. In the blink of an eye, Lena seemed to let go of the remaining half of the marshmallow, and suddenly a bright light flashed from her palm, which flashed like a flash and then went out. Before Parana could react, Lena delicately grabbed the marshmallow that was about to hit the ground in mid-air, but this time she didn't continue to eat, but looked at Parana with a serious face.
"What, what's going on?" Parana was a little confused by the second monk.
"Mercury." Lena replied simply.
"Mercury? Is it a person? ”
"Hmm. Assassinate the most terrible squad leader of the unit. If I'm guessing correctly, your Earth should be haunted on a large scale. ”
It was laughable to say such a bizarre thing from the mouth of a girl who looked like a little girl, but Parana couldn't laugh at the look on Lina's face.
"Behind you just now is a ghost. But there is more to it than a shadow, and now you face a great threat - you have to use your sword to try to destroy a shadow. ”
"Ghosts, ghosts?" Parana was a little surprised, since he met the Apocalypse, supernatural things have appeared one after another. But before he could think about the ins and outs of the matter, his terminal suddenly rang.
"Paraná, our newly developed gravitational radar suddenly has a large-area detection anomaly. Also...... "Christina was a little out of breath and looked very nervous, but it seemed that she didn't have time to get angry with Barana again, "Are you haunted over there?" ”
"It's just a ghost. The ghost didn't come. Lena said in a terrible tone that didn't match her appearance.
"Ghosts? There is a large group of ghosts on our side, which is particularly terrifying," as the president of the Academy of Sciences, she believes that everything has a scientific explanation, and she also has the strength to find a scientific explanation. On the other hand, she was very afraid of these supernatural things. "What the hell is this? This is beyond the scope of science to explain. ”
"Just a man of the apocalypse, Mercury, the leader of the assassination unit." Lena explained it to Christina again.
"Is this thing any danger, it's right behind me, and it's scary." Christina adjusted the camera, "Wait, it's not in the frame!" Ahh Isn't this the real ghost! ”
Christina screamed, jumped up from her chair and ran around frantically, trying to shake off the ghost. But the ghost kept chasing her slowly. As if she felt that it was out of place, or that it was useless to run around like this, she forced herself to sit down again. Parana looked at her like this and shook her head helplessly.
"Well, how are we going to fix this?" Looks like she's calmed down a bit.
"What is certain is that whoever it is, there must be one person who is in danger." Lena ignored her, just talking to herself.
"Who is it?" Christina asked nervously.
"I don't know." Lena glanced up at her, "Probably everyone who saw the ghost. Ghosts may appear behind any of the ghosts. ”
Zhang Chuanlan has returned to the Fifth Fleet station, and is thinking about strategy in the command room of the flagship Yellow Emperor. Just as he was pondering, the otherwise quiet command room suddenly became noisy.
He looked up and saw that the noise seemed to be coming from outside, and a staff officer hurriedly ran over to report, and was tripped and stumbled, with a look of horror on his face: "Commander! Oh no! Haunted! ”
"Nonsense!" Zhang Chuanlan looked at him and felt a little ridiculous. The Yellow Emperor is the most powerful warship on earth, with 1,200 twin laser cannon groups and twenty 510 mm electromagnetic guns that can form a huge firepower network.
The staff officer had a "I knew you would react this way" expression, he paused for a moment, took a breath, and then said, "Really! There are already multiple ghosts in the General Staff! I don't know if it's the ghost of the West or the ...... of the East."
Zhang Chuanlan interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "We are staunch materialists!" Strange forces and gods do not exist! There can be no ...... in this world."
He didn't finish his sentence because he saw his reflection behind him from the screen opposite.
"Ghost!"
