Chapter 26: The Undercurrent (II)

"When Xiao came back, he reported the details of the mission to me."

Silver-white dome-shaped buildings can be found everywhere in this town, which is one of the few human settlements on Yanxing, and its residents mainly rely on transportation services to make a living; The road, which is less than five meters wide, is sparsely populated, and most of them come and go in a hurry.

Near the edge of the town, there is a piece of land enclosed by a wall, about 10,000 square meters, which seems to be private territory; From the air, you can see that the second floor of the main building has been extended outwards a lot, and has been transformed into a tarmac, on which are parked two fifteen-meter-long starships, one streamlined and the other flattened, both in black paint, which looks a bit old.

In the conference room on the top floor of the building, Song Beichen, an old man with gray wings, and Mo Yun, an emaciated old woman, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking about the "faith" task that Xiao Shao had just completed.

"He was seriously injured because he suffered from 'greed.'" Mo Yun said word by word.

"It's only a matter of time before those people reach out to the outer ring, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Song Beichen continued to look out the window.

Mo Yun lightly tapped the metal ring on her wrist, "I have sorted out the details of this series of missions and sent them to your 'personal adjutant', including the few times I personally attacked. ”

"Hmm." Song Beichen's answer is still not salty.

"Need my help?"

"No, I'm not going to trouble them, it's just that there are some things that have to be figured out."

He turned around and walked to the circular console in the center of the conference room, which was a large color projection equipment, three meters in diameter, and the table top was neatly arranged with dense signal transmitters, and the three-dimensional image was formed by the blue light emitted by these emitters. He stretched out his hand and waved it on the countertop, revealing a complex map with red dots flashing in the center of the map.

He stared straight at the area where the red dot was, his eyes becoming more and more aggressive.

"Peony and that little doll are here." Mo Yun, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, noticed a black spot on the horizon, so she activated the "Sky Eye" monitoring system, and the projection of the whole system showed the details of that area, and the faces of the two were clearly visible.

Song Beichen put the map away and said to Mo Yun, "Let that kid come to see me alone." ”

Mo Yun frowned, "You've gone too far, don't scare that little doll anymore." ”

Song Beichen didn't make a sound, she could only shake her head and leave.

On the small flying machine, Peony tightened his wings behind his back to prevent being blown away by the air currents from the pavement.

"So you spend your holidays alone in your student apartment?" Along the way, she asked Yan Qingcheng a lot of questions about the details of her life, and it seemed that she was happy to do it.

"Yes."

"Don't you have a few good friends who want to go on an interstellar trip with you?"

"Nope."

"Then what do you usually do in Yangxing's central business district?"

"No, no."

"Are there any girls who can't forget?"

"You've asked this question ten times in about ten times."

"The driving skills are good, faster than me, but can you not always slap me in the face with wings, this is sexual harassment."

Yan Qingcheng is quite uncomfortable with Peony's divine turn, so she can only try to reduce her words, this girl is very good at chatting, and if she is not careful, she will fall into her language trap, and at the same time, talking less is also to prevent her from looking for topics for no reason.

Didn't he feel dry after talking all the way, he thought to himself, even if he remained silent, the girl behind him could talk to herself happily, this attitude made him a little uncomfortable when he was used to being lonely.

However, her voice was indeed very pleasant, so Yan Qingcheng didn't feel so irritable.

"Look, there's our destination ahead of us, that town!" Peony pointed ahead and said.

"Do you call such a small piece of land a town?" Yan Qingcheng was a little surprised, when he was studying at the Academy of Sciences, he lived in a student apartment area, which was more than ten times larger than a distant town, and it seemed that Yanxing was the only barren place in the Nine Galaxy to live up to its reputation.

"Let's go straight to the intersection and go in."

"Positive? That's not very easy ......."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Qingcheng suddenly pulled up the front end of the aircraft, accelerated the inversion of the nozzle, overloaded the energy system, and forcibly slowed down; Peony was pressed against his back due to the sudden acceleration, and he could feel a touch of comfort and softness, which made his heart ripple.

But now was not the time to be distracted, he lowered his altitude and adjusted the direction of the aircraft, and slammed sideways into the dunes.

"What are you doing?" Half of Peony's body fell into the sand dune, and she was extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, the landing speed was not very fast, and there were sand dunes as a buffer, so she was not injured.

"Someone." Yan Qingcheng was also stuck in the sand dunes, his words short and low.

Peony got up quickly, she pulled out a half-meter-long short stick from her left arm with her backhand, and threw it in the air; The short stick suddenly lengthened, the tip of which resounded with the sound of a dense rotation of gears, and the sharp scythe ejected, reflecting a blinding glow in the sunlight.

A two-meter-long war scythe appeared in her hand.

Yan Qingcheng still fell to the ground and didn't get up, he looked at the girl who was still talking and laughing just now, and instantly pulled out her weapon and entered the battle state, a little stunned.

Peony poked her head out from behind the dunes to look around, only to see a middle-aged woman coming out of the town junction in a cargo ship.

"Huh? Isn't this a peony, what are you doing here? The middle-aged woman drove to the sand dunes where the two were hiding, and stopped to greet her when she saw a peony with a sharp knife in her hand, but her head was scattered.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, Aunt Lin. Peony stuttered a little.

At this time, the middle-aged woman noticed Yan Qingcheng, who was also hiding behind the sand dunes, and a smile of understanding appeared on her face, "Is this the new personnel sent by the organization?" What a handsome young man. ”

"Get up and say hello to Aunt Lin." Peony put away the scythe and kicked Yan Qingcheng.

"Oh, hello Aunt Lin, my name is Yan Qingcheng." He was a little embarrassed, as if he had just made a big fuss.

"It's good to be young." Aunt Lin smiled and restarted the spaceship.

"No, we're not in that relationship." Peony hurriedly explained.

"I know, they're all from your age, don't delay you, I'm still in a hurry to deliver the goods." She glanced at the craft stuck in the dunes, shook her head, and sped away in the cargo ship.

Peony lowered his head with a blushing face, Yan Qingcheng knew that he seemed to have messed up something, and silently leaned down to dig the flying machine.

"Stupid!" She kicked Yan Qingcheng, "This is a branch of our organization, everyone knows the secrets of the Wing Clan, you don't want to hide if you see people!" ”

"I'm sorry, I ...... subconsciously"

Peony didn't listen to his explanation, spread his wings and flew directly towards the town, and he had to continue to silently dig the flying machine stuck in the sand dunes.
