Michelle and Shirley hide in the cargo counter in the ship's storage room.

It's dark and damp, and the space is small, but it's safe for the time being.

The two men were facing each other at the back of a large black cabinet, with several boxes blocking the only gap, and from the outside it looked as if there was no gap.

Shirley had never been so close to a man, and at the moment she was nervous, short of breath, and her heart was beating like a deer.

Faintly, she liked the current situation.

She could feel Michelle's breathing, still steady and long.

She lifted her eyes, and in the dimness, Michelle's eyes were focused and calm. He's fiddling with a laptop.

Before coming here, he had already connected the computer to the ship's backup system, and invaded the main system through the backup system, trying to control the ship's main brain in this way.

With Shirley in place, all the ship's safety settings are in vain.

"I really want to kill them all and kill them all. Shirley whispered angrily.

"Two people against three thousand?" Michelle didn't raise his head, his hands busy on the computer.

"We also have your various setups on the ship to rely on. We can threaten them with bombs. Unless they are obedient, we will blow up the ship. ”

Michelle looked at Shirley in surprise, and realized that women are really much more ruthless than men.

He smiled wryly and said: "First: I am not a butcher, and I am not interested in killing three thousand people at once. Second: there were so many of them that we didn't have a safe route to the rescue pod. Third: they still have hostages on hand. Fourth: they are a bunch of vicious guys, and death threats may not be useful. Fifth, and most importantly, this is the point. There were no bombs on the ship at all. ”

Before Shirley opened her mouth to call out, Michelle kissed Shirley on the lips. She couldn't dodge a few snorts, and bit down angrily. Michelle's lips immediately cracked, and blood flowed out like that.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I...... Just not used to it. Shirley also panicked at her overreaction.

Michelle grinned in pain, but could only shake her head helplessly. "In a hurry, I thought you wouldn't have to arm yourself as a feral cat. ”

"You'd better explain to me about the bomb first. What you send indicates that you are ready for everything. Shirley said viciously.

"In fact, in order to make a few witnesses, I only went to the prisoner's hall once, and I never went to the other places at all. ”

Shirley almost fainted.

"And where did you get the stuff you sent?"

"Oh, it's simple, I made some of my own, and some of it was wasted garbage. I picked up some parts that didn't look good or bad, and then packed them up and sent them over. Michelle replied indifferently.

It turned out to be a scam!

Poor whole boatload was deceived by this scam to sleep on the floor, eat nests, and drink cold porridge.

She now finally understood why Michelle contacted her within a minute of the delivery of the things and demarcated such a large area of exclusion zones.

Because from the very beginning he was orchestrating a big scam.

The first 12 hours of absence gave Shirley a sense of unpredictability, and then the subsequent performance and confidence convinced that this guy could do anything. Worst of all, she was forced by Michelle to have no time to inspect those places, because the forbidden area had been formed.

"You...... You're a bastard, Michelle. Shirley said through gritted teeth.

"You can't blame me for that. There were so many isolation doors blocking the road, and there were guards everywhere, as well as electronic eyes and life detectors. Do you think it's that easy to walk around the ship without being noticed? Of course I can save as much effort. Michelle was not ashamed.

"So what do we do now?"

Michelle smiled slightly.

Shirley's chest rested against him, and the bulge gave him a strange feeling, and he calmed down for a moment, and then said slowly: "When Hepsina first mentioned the light touch bill, I felt that the days ahead would definitely not be easy on this ship. Touching the bill is a policy of appeasement to the seekers of profit maximization, which makes the protectors of the bill fall victim to the interests in order to achieve the most basic guarantee system...... I didn't have any of the food at the time, but I didn't have to think about it to know what it was. I guess you're not used to it, right?"

Shirley blushed, glared at him and said, "Are you settling old scores with me?"

"No, I mean to ...... Why did they wait until today? Those meals were so unpalatable...... If it were me, I would have run away as soon as possible, and I would have suffered a lot less, and don't forget that they bought off Kerry. But why did they have to wait so many days? Can you tell me?"

Shirley is also a flurry. She let go, thinking blankly, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Because they're going to wait until we've passed the Nebula Storm before they do it." ”

"You're a smart girl. Michelle smiled, "But that's not enough, think about why they have to wait for us to pass through Nebula Storm before they do it." ”

Shirley blurted out, "They lack an astronaut!"

"Yes, but it's not enough......! Think about time and distance!"

Time and distance?

Shirley suddenly realized something, and blurted out, "After passing through the Nebula Storm, the Exocet will make its last jump, and when it jumps out again, it will be Tatooine! Hell, they want to go to Tatooine? How is that possible?"

Shirley almost screamed again, but this time she managed to control herself.

For thousands of years, prisoners have robbed prisons for almost one purpose, which is freedom.

Now that the prisoners have hijacked the ship, the purpose is still Tatooine, which is puzzling.

If that's the case, what's the point of them hijacking ships?

Shirley couldn't figure it out.

Michelle replied: "You know I'm going to Tatooine too, so I found some books on your ship, and there are sections on Tatooine, one of which is a chronicle of Tatooine's recent situation that I'm interested in. It told me that the criminals weren't necessarily that bad in Tatooine. To be precise, they have already established their own presence there. They have a large number of heavy weapons, and even ground heavy troops such as tanks and robots, many of which are sold to them by the local fleet left behind. The only thing they don't have...... It's a battleship. ”

"Battleship?" Hearing the word, Shirley froze: "They're here for ......"

"For the sake of the ship itself!" Michelle had replied for her.

"This can't be!" Shirley blurted out, "If that's the case, it means that they have premeditated, but the prisoner transportation is a temporary plan, and it was caused by a terrorist attack!"

"I'm afraid it wasn't a temporary plan, but it was premeditated. Terrorist attacks have only helped them to make a choice. ”

"It can't be, do you know what that means?"

"Of course...... Collusion!" Michelle replied, "Tell me, how long has Kerry been following you?"

"It was his first time on the boat, and he was ...... Introduced by the Security Service to assist the guards. ”

"That's right. Michelle nodded: "He also betrayed you." ”

Shirley shuddered.

"If that reason isn't enough, then I have another reason here. I found another interesting thing in the book, there is an organization called the Minsk Brotherhood on the planet Tatooine, and their boss is called Runger Phillips, do you think this name is a little familiar?"

"Strong Phillips?" exclaimed Shirley.

"They're brothers!" replied Michelle.

Shirley was simply horrified: "The Security Agency didn't tell me the news. ”

"Of course they won't tell you this, the criminals in Tatooine want to get the ships, but the fleet left behind won't dare sell them the ships. But you know, the more the law prohibits something, the greater the profit, and I guess the Minsk Brotherhood must have paid a pretty high price for the remaining fleet to help them find a way to get one. ”

Shirley understood: "So they decided to start from the outside...... Let the prisoners hijack a ship on their own, so that it has nothing to do with the fleet left behind. The only thing they had to do was send their men to that ship and do a good job of being a traitor...... Oh my God, it's a conspiracy. ”

"And so we saw that the Empire's best criminals were suddenly captured en masse at the same time and sent to Tatooine by the same batch. They followed the rules until they were almost at Tatooine, and then they openly made a mess...... Michelle replied leisurely: "There are still twenty minutes to jump, no one will stop them, they will land at Tatooine, in a heroic way, with a spaceship." ”

"But this is not a battleship!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can fly, it's not difficult to convert a passenger car into an armored car, it's the same with a spaceship, and it's better for the remaining fleet. ”

Shirley was almost crying.

Michelle is right, it's all a trap, it's a conspiracy, it's a big trap.

The criminals had originally intended to hijack a prisoner ship, but the horror caused them to change their minds and target the Exocet.

Compared to the prisoner carriers, the Flying Fish was better and more satisfying to the prisoners.

It also meant that Shirley would never be able to get her boat back anyway.

"It's ...... My ship!" Shirley said through gritted teeth.

Michelle nodded: "Anyway, knowing their goal, we have found their weakness, but we can compete with them for control of the spaceship." ”

"Aren't you doing it?"

Michelle said astonishingly: "That's not enough...... In fact, I'm losing control of the ship's mastermind. ”

"What did you say?" Shirley was taken aback.

"Unfortunately, they don't have good astronauts, but they obviously have very good hackers. Someone has cracked your entry code and is fighting me for control. It's a pity, I'm a remote control backup system to invade the main system, and I'm congenitally disadvantaged, just like using a wooden sword to fight a chariot, and I can't win against him...... Hell, this guy is so fast, he's a super master...... Well, I'll admit that I can't beat him even on a level playing field. Michelle eventually gave up on further competition for the main system.

"Oh my God. It was Armenia, the guy who hacked more than seventy banks in the empire. Shirley let out a low groan. She had seen the list, and there was no shortage of the best among these criminals, and Armenia was one of them.

I heard that he stole money to repay his mother, but apparently, he tried to do too much for his mother.

The police were able to catch him because they found out that their family had no job, a mother on welfare and a son without a job, but they had a room full of money and a life of extreme luxury.

When the police entered his home, the Armenian was in high spirits and was sweeping four banks at once.

This time, Michelle's luck was not very good.

It's true that the prisoners don't prepare good astronauts, because such people don't usually become prisoners, but they have prepared a super light-brain genius.

Armenia controls the light brain, the light brain controls the spaceship, as long as you use the autopilot mode, everything else can be solved.

Of course, it is precisely for this reason that they did not launch the hijacking until the last moment.

With a chuckle, Michelle took Shirley's hand and said, "Losing the mastermind doesn't mean losing everything, you know, there are always many ways to achieve your goal in this world." We Mufa people have an old saying: all roads lead to Rome. ”

"Do you have a way?"

"Of course, a machine is a machine, and no matter how far artificial intelligence goes, it still can't compare with human intelligence. Since they're using their mastermind to control the ship, all we have to do is make some little ...... for them Troubles that the mastermind can't solve. ”

"As long as the ship can't reach Tatooine, they don't want to control everything freely. ”

"And then we'll ...... Kill them!" Michelle replied.

Facing a strong opponent, Michelle felt nothing but excitement.

He was born a warrior, and although he learned from Shen Yi to try his best to solve problems with his mind, when necessary, the bloody nature of the battle would still be aroused.

Shirley was pinched by his big hand, and her whole person softened.
