Chapter 289: Tempting the Truth and the Truth
Yang Yi didn't say much about Jackson's approach.
Although he was skeptical at first, after understanding Jackson's intentions, Yang Yi knew that this was an effective method.
It's just that Lin Feng doesn't see it that way.
"Don't you think it's too hasty, Jackson?"
Lin Feng was a little angry, seeing that she was about to get angry, Yang Yi hurriedly gave her a look and asked her not to talk nonsense, after all, this is not the place to talk.
Jackson didn't bother either, they had just left Ventola's residence.
After a while, the three of them came to a secluded place.
"Jackson?"
"I did it on purpose."
"You ......"
"Actually, it was only when I met him that I understood."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, realizing that Jackson hadn't talked nonsense before, and deliberately revealed his identity in order to use Ventorah, and he could only do so.
"Like you, I don't trust him." Jackson sighed and said, "More than a hundred years ago, this space fortress didn't even exist. Obviously, a lot has happened here in the last hundred years, otherwise those pirates would not have left the planet and built this fortress. From what I know of Ventorah, no matter what happens, if he feels threatened, he'll run away. ”
"You mean ......"
"Obviously, he won't stay here if there aren't enough benefits." Jackson smiled reluctantly and said, "The biggest benefit for him is safety." In fact, an intelligence broker like him attaches the most importance to personal safety. No matter where you are, safety is the first priority. In this hellish place, the only people who can provide him with security are obviously the pirates who run this place. ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly. Indicates that he understands what Jackson meant.
"That is, he is serving those pirates." Jackson shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Before, it was just my guess. After meeting him, especially after seeing where he lives. I knew I was right. He was able to continue to do this business, and to live so comfortably, that he must have been protected by some people. In exchange, he had to serve these people unconditionally. ”
"So, you deliberately revealed your identity."
Jackson nodded and said, "If he has the heart to investigate, he will soon know that I have defected to the Union army and am serving the military, and the Warrior Legion I established has long been disbanded." What's more. If the pirates here are secretly in contact with the Hidden Spirits, they will find out that I have followed you here. Obviously, if I lied to him that he was still an interstellar mercenary, it would only cause more trouble. ”
"The problem is ......"
"What the old brother means is that he's using Ventora to spread the word." Yang Yi sighed secretly and said, "If my brother's guess is not wrong, the pirates here are secretly dealing with the Hidden Spirit Clan. Then after Ventola reports the news, someone will come to us for trouble. ”
"Isn't that what we're trying to avoid?"
"It's a blessing and not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The point is, Ventola only knows that the elder brother is a federal soldier, and he doesn't know that he is with us." That is, even if the news is leaked. The enemy who was dealing with us in the shadows only knew that the federal authorities had sent someone to protect us in secret, and that they had come here, and that the Shadow had an accident on its way to Hidden Spirit. ”
"This ......"
"If that were the case, that enemy would not be blatantly against us, but would only spy on us. If it's really the Hidden Spirits. Immediate action will be taken. Even if you don't know how to be ruthless, you will send out warships. At that point, the situation will be completely out of control. Yang Yi paused slightly, and then said, "If the situation becomes unfavorable to the Hidden Spirit Clan, you can also kill us by destroying this base." ”
Lin Feng frowned and thought seriously.
"Of course, it's easy to prove it."
"That's right, just keep an eye on Ventola and you'll know what's going on."
As soon as Jackson said this, Lin Feng understood.
In fact, Jackson deliberately told Ventola that he was serving the federal military and tried Ventola to find the mastermind behind the scenes. Obviously, if Ventola leaves the residence, just follow him and know who he goes to, and know who he will deal with next.
It is precisely because of this that Jackson did not take Yang Yi and Lin Feng away.
A short time later, the trio returned to Ventola's residence.
The timing was just right, and Ventola was out just in time.
The trio did not come closer, but kept enough distance from Ventola. According to Jackson, Ventora had the strength of a Tier 10 soldier more than a hundred years ago. When he saw Ventola, Yang Yi could see at a glance that although his strength had not improved substantially, it was certainly not bad. It's just that for the three of them, it is obviously not a difficult thing to keep an eye on Ventola without being discovered by him.
In fact, after seeing Ventola and mastering the original energy fluctuations on Ventola's body, Yang Yi was able to sense his existence from a long distance.
Following Ventola, the three of them came to the inside of the fortress.
It's just that the three of them didn't follow.
Quite simply, Vento pulls into a guarded area, and at the entrance to the area stands a "No Outsiders" sign.
This is the control center of the fortress.
"He was in there, he didn't leave." Yang Yi glanced at Jackson and said, "Near him, there are a few people, and their strength is not weak, the worst is also a human warrior, and the strength of one of them is still above you, similar to Lin Feng, it should be the leader here." ”
Jackson frowned and said, "This place is heavily guarded, and a hard break will definitely startle the snake." ”
"Let's go, there's no need to linger here." Yang Yi sighed and said, "At least, we already know that Ventola has taken refuge with the pirates here. The fact that he was in such a hurry to meet the boss was proof that these guys had already received the news and might be looking for us. ”
"If that's the case, we'd better get out of here." Lin Feng said.
Jackson sighed, then nodded slightly, expressing support for Lin Feng's decision.
Both Jackson and Lin Feng thought that they should leave this fortress, not because they were afraid of the pirates here, but because they didn't want to get into trouble at this time. The point is that all they are doing now is to convince the enemy who is dealing with them in the shadows that they are finished. Even if the pirates here don't know Yang Yi and don't know that Jackson is Yang Yi's subordinate, as long as they make trouble, they can't be sure that nothing goes wrong.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Yi also nodded slightly.
Yang Yi is not afraid of things, but knows that there is no need to take risks. To put it bluntly, as long as the news that they are still alive spreads, it is tantamount to provoking fire.
The three of them did not delay any longer and set off to return to the spaceport.
It's just that they're still a beat slower.
In the spaceport, the dock where the Shadow docked has been blocked, and several small ships that were previously docked there have been moved elsewhere. On the dock, a team of heavily armed pirates surrounded the "Shadow", but it didn't mess around, because Shen Chengwen and other officers and soldiers were ready for battle.
The two sides are facing off, only no one fired the first shot.
Fortunately, Justin and the others stayed outside the port and stopped Yang Yi and them in time.
According to Justin, they had just returned, and after discovering that the Shadow was surrounded by pirates, they stayed outside the docks and did not return to the Shadow. Before Yang Yi and the others came back, Justin had already contacted Shen Chengwen. Shen Chengwen told them to stay outside and continued to think about obtaining the spaceship. As for the pirates surrounding the "Shadow", Shen Chengwen would find a way to deal with it, and there was no need for Yang Yi and them to worry about it.
It's just that Justin has no idea what to do next.
Thinking that Shen Cheng was there, it was impossible for pirates to occupy the "Shadow", so Yang Yi did not delay and let Jackson lead the way and leave the spaceport.
Luckily, it's full of pirates, so it's not too difficult to slip away.
The question is, where to go?
Although the space fortress is very large, Yang Yi and the others don't know about this place. What's more, the standoff on the dock cannot last forever. It won't be long before the pirates discover that it's not a pirate ship docked on the docks, but the missing Shadow.
You have to come up with a way to do it as soon as possible, or you'll have to fight your way out.
Even if his whereabouts are exposed, it's much better than staying here and waiting for death.
You must know that if the enemy who created the Origin Black Hole knows that they are here, even if the pirates here are the forces they have cultivated, in order to prevent Yang Yi and them from escaping again, they will also use the most extreme means, that is, to use destructive force to directly destroy this space fortress, or even destroy the entire star system. If a galaxy collapses into a black hole, even if Shadow can fly at one-fifth of the speed of light, it will be doomed. You know, even an object moving at the speed of light can't escape a black hole. Theoretically, when a black hole is formed, it is only possible to escape if it reaches the speed of light, or to be precise, it is possible to leave the inescapable zone of the black hole.
Let's go now, or do you want to fight for it?
Yang Yi was a little hesitant, because if he escaped now, even if he was safe, he would miss an opportunity, and no one could say whether there would be a similar opportunity in the future.
Of course, the priority is not to think about whether to leave or stay, but to find a place to hide.
Even if you have to leave, you have to think about how to deal with it.
Luckily, Justin knows where to go.
When Yang Yi and the others went to the exchange, Justin found a hotel and wrote a few rooms. According to Jackson's previous arrangement, they will stay here for a while, so they need a place to stay, so Justin is in charge of this.
The hostel is small and remote, and the environment inside is terrible. The people who lived here were some not-so-wealthy pirates from out of town, as well as some small traders. It's all sufficiency, but it's safe enough that at least no one will be staring at this dilapidated little hotel. (To be continued......)
