"Is Brother Shan dead?" Ai Heping's burly body shook, and his rough face was full of loneliness at the moment.

In fact, he already had a foreboding, but he had been deliberately avoiding it. In fact, he, like Yao Yan, has always kept in touch with the earth since he came to this planet, and it is Wang Chongshan himself who has contacted him. Due to the importance of the matter, Wang Chongshan does not trust others at all, so every communication is a one-line contact with Ai Heping through an encrypted channel to get the latest progress of Ai Heping on the XH-12 planet. However, this connection was abruptly broken yesterday for unknown reasons. At that moment, he had a bad premonition.

Yao Yan's words only confirmed his hunch.

Ai Heping didn't know what Wang Chongshan did before he lost contact, after all, he was just a subordinate, and of course Wang Chongshan couldn't report his whereabouts to him at any time, so Ai Heping couldn't determine who was the one who attacked Wang Chongshan for the time being. But even if he doesn't investigate, Ai Heping can guess a rough idea, because on the earth, there are only so many people who want Wang Chongshan's life and have the ability to kill him, and it is not difficult to find out the murderer.

However, is it still useful?

Even if you find out who killed Wang Chongshan, then what? Kill the door to avenge Wang Chongshan?

He's not going to do that. Whether someone else killed Wang Chongshan, or Wang Chongshan killed someone else, it has nothing to do with grievances, it is just a competition based on interests, and it is not to talk about who is right and who is wrong. In other words, none of them are right, everyone is just greedily chasing profits. Therefore, Ai Heping has no idea of revenge at all.

He just felt that it was a pity that he had not been able to repay Wang Chongshan's kindness. He decided to choose other ways to repay that favor, he knew that Wang Chongshan valued his family very much, so he wanted to try to return to Earth alive and protect Wang Chongshan's family for the rest of his life, so that they would not be too affected by Wang Chongshan's death.

……

Fang Tianming didn't speak, he buried all his guilt deep in his heart.

Unlike Ai Heping, Fang Tianming was not surprised by Dong Hailong's death, and his surprised expression was just pretended, because the culprit who killed Dong Hailong was Fang Tianming himself. It was he who secretly sent the Ace of Spades and the 'warm trio' to assassinate Shi Qianjun in the name of Dong Hailong, thus creating an excuse for Shi Qianjun to kill Dong Hailong. Of course, Huang Ying instructed him to do all this. But Fang Tianming didn't want to quibble, because no matter what he said, the indisputable fact was that he betrayed Dong Hailong, who had the grace of knowing him, because of his lust.

Between kindness and love, Fang Tianming chose the latter without hesitation, although he knew very well in his heart that this love would not have any results.

At this moment, Fang Tianming's heart was very calm. He wasn't confused, he knew exactly what he was going to do.

He promised to help Huang Ying seize the inheritance of prehistoric civilization, and he would definitely go all out to do it. After that, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will not leave this planet, he wants to bury himself here, because he thinks that he is not qualified to return to Earth and be buried in the same land as Dong Hailong.

He also knew that Huang Ying knew his mind very well. From the moment she asked him to betray Dong Hailong, it was equivalent to sentencing him to Fang Tianming's death.

But she still made this request to him.

And he agreed without hesitation.

Because they are the same people.

In their hearts, love is more important than life.

They are always willing to pay with their lives for love, whether it's someone else's or their own, if they feel the need.

……

Yao Yan was secretly observing the reactions of several people, and there was a subtle hint of cunning hidden in her eyes.

All the hesitation, all the ideological struggles, all are acting, and she deliberately chose this moment to tell the truth. As a spiritual awakener, she is most sensitive to subtle changes in people's hearts. Saying this news just before they receive the inheritance will have the greatest impact on people's hearts and will not give them time to calm down.

As a spiritual awakener, force is not her strong point, and she has no chance of winning in head-on competition with so many masters, so she has to use some psychological means.

Luo Fan, Ye Siqin and Fat Man, these three people didn't have any special reaction to the news they said, which is very understandable. Luo Fan should not have any background, so the struggle between these forces has no effect on him.

The real identity of the fat man who sold insurance is unknown, but it is certain that he does not belong to any of the four major consortia, so these things have nothing to do with him. Yao Yan didn't care much about this person. Maybe his origin is a little suspicious, but the strength of the first-order awakened person, coupled with that guy's arrogant performance, makes her really unable to raise her sense of awe.

As for Ye Siqin, as a killer, she will only care about her own target, as long as it is not her assassination target, no matter who lives or dies, she will not care.

The person who has been hit the hardest is undoubtedly Ai Heping, who has lost his fighting spirit. It is believed that in the next competition, his main purpose will be self-preservation, and the threat to others will become small.

Fang Tianming's expression was calm, but his pursed lips, stiff neck, and clenched fists exposed the tension in his heart, indicating that his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared to be. The most suspicious thing was that when he heard the news of Dong Hailong's death, his shocked expression appeared half a beat slower, which was very unusual for the reaction speed of the awakened.

Maybe there's some inside story in there.

This thought flashed and was thrown aside by Yao Yan.

She wasn't interested in those conspiracies that had nothing to do with her, she just needed to know that Fang Tianming's heart was also impacted. All she has to do is try to weaken the competitiveness of others and increase her chances of success.

A small trick that can shake the will of two awakened people is already very good.

Yao Yan was very satisfied with her performance.

……

Earth, Startrooper Headquarters.

"Marshal, the three major consortia are making too much noise, do you want to let them mess around like this and sit back and ignore them completely?" Li Ruoyun asked Xiang Tianxiao, who was sitting behind his desk.

Xiang Tianxiao calmly looked at the beautiful subordinate standing in front of him: black hair, delicate facial features, and a charming figure that even the interstellar team uniform could not hide. If it weren't for the epaulettes of the "lieutenant general" on her shoulders, probably everyone would have regarded her as their beautiful secretary.

But the woman in front of her, who was just twenty-four years old, was the best genius commander of the Star Trooper and the first wise general known as the "Cunning Fox".

Can't even she hold her breath? Looks like it's a bit of a big fuss this time.

Xiang Tianxiao rubbed his messy hair, and said innocently to the beautiful subordinates standing in front of him: "There's no way, the three major groups of people are big and powerful, how can they take me, a big boss, in their eyes?" They don't listen to what I say. ”

Li Ruoyun was angry, angry, and took into account Xiang Tianxiao's face as a marshal, and didn't want to affect his majesty in the barracks. With a roll of her eyes, she suddenly changed into a charming expression, walked around the desk, approached Xiang Tianxiao's side, stretched out her slender jade hand and touched Xiang Tianxiao's face, and her voice became weak and charming: "I said Lord Marshal, don't embarrass me, a little woman, okay?" You're always selling off like this, and you won't tell the truth, which makes it difficult for people to do it......"

Xiang Tianxiao was taken aback, quickly got up and hid aside, pointed at Li Ruoyun tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You stinky fox, I warn you, don't come with me, Marshal Ben is not afraid of you! ”

"Really?" Li Ruoyun smiled coquettishly, a touch of cunning in her eyes flashed, and at the same time, she straightened up her proud chest and walked closer to Xiang Tianxiao again, "Lord Marshal, you misunderstood others, they just want to talk to you well." You always reject people so much, it makes people so sad! ”

"Stop, stop! I threw in the towel! Xiang Tianxiao raised his hands and said helplessly, "Say, what do you want to know?" ”

Seeing Xiang Tianxiao surrender, Li Ruoyun quickly changed back to a cold look, and at the same time snorted lightly: "It's good to explain honestly, you have to toast and not eat and drink." Explain, with your fiery temper, why did you indulge the three major consortia to this extent? ”

Xiang Tianxiao sighed heavily, and said with a wry smile: "Because we have too few awakened people, we can't gamble all at once, so we can only settle for the second." Let the three major consortia compete, and the benefits will be their own, so that they will work hard and be willing to spare no effort to compete. And for us, whoever wins in the end is a victory for humanity. ”

"Victory for humanity?" A trace of melancholy appeared on Li Ruoyun's face, "Marshal, do you really think that we can win this war?" ”

This time, Xiang Tianxiao didn't answer her. Li Ruoyun didn't ask any more questions, and the two fell silent together.
