Chapter 127
Until the moment before he was caught, Semillian did not realize that there was someone else behind him.
He was not cursing or thinking about how to retaliate against them, as Yunxi and the others had guessed. He was indeed extremely angry when he was kicked out of the car, but if he was a person who would always be controlled by such emotions, Semillian would not have reached the point where he is today.
After getting angry, Semillian began to think about the reason why Lin Qingsi suddenly turned hostile. He was always sensitive to people's emotions, so he was sure that Lin Qingsi had no intention of turning hostile when he got on the car ten minutes ago. Even if he did contact some people privately, they were just marginal figures in various forces, and no actual cooperation was achieved, just some intentions were conveyed.
Because before this, after Semillian had a general understanding of the distribution of power on Zhongwu Star, especially in the Tulip Kingdom, he realized that the only group that really wanted to form an alliance was the group headed by Lin Qingsi.
As for other parties, such as the speaker Yang Siyu, who was stubborn and self-willed, the resistance was weak, and the Ka family was greedy and stupid. Semillian contacted them just to understand and control the situation from multiple aspects. He believed that Lin Qingsi would not fail to understand this degree of connection. Although the two sides had not cooperated for a long time, they had always understood each other and had a tacit understanding.
So, why did they suddenly turn against each other?
Could it be...
A figure flashed in his mind, Semillian frowned, and put the guess aside.
[No... Impossible... There was intelligence this morning saying that he appeared in a small town at least 3,000 kilometers away from here. He shouldn't be coming back so soon...]
Perhaps subconsciously wanting to avoid certain thoughts, Semillian shook his head and stopped thinking about the reason why Lin Qingsi suddenly changed his attitude. Instead, he began to count the cards in his hand to see if there was anyone else he could use conveniently.
[Perhaps the Cartland Empire is a good choice. I heard that the military strength there is stronger than that of the Tulip Kingdom. There is also a rumor that the royal family of the Cartland family lost the legendary weapon that could kill gods in the turmoil more than a hundred years ago. It is said that the weapon now seems to have fallen into the hands of a noble in the Cartland Empire...]
Thinking of Kahar's fawning in front of Rong Yuan, Semillian felt that this statement was still credible. If they had such a sharp weapon in hand, these natives would have the confidence, and the performance of the head of state would not be so terrible.
According to Semillian's speculation, that weapon should be an offensive weapon from a high-level civilization. Although he didn't know what it was, it was much more powerful than the gadgets he carried with him. It's not that he didn't have a collection of more powerful weapons when he was in Landia, but such things could not pass the detection system of the spacecraft.
In fact, the black ring he carried with him - a portable black hole generating gun was also listed as an illegal weapon in the Interstellar Alliance. However, perhaps because it did not threaten the owner of the spacecraft, although it was discovered when he brought it on the spacecraft, Alpha only warned him not to use it on the spacecraft and did not force him to leave it on the ground.
If it were someone else, the black hole that unfolded at close range would be enough to kill them quickly. But Semillian also knew about the assassination that happened on Baiqi Star not long ago, and knew that this thing was just a slightly dangerous toy in front of Rong Yuan.
Thousands of thoughts turned, and the black car had not completely disappeared from his sight. Semillian had completely forgotten about it and began to think about how to proceed after going to the Cattelan Empire. Since Rong Yuan and others have chosen to cooperate with the Tulip Country, then he, as the only visitor from an advanced interstellar civilization willing to interact with the Cattelan Empire, should be greatly welcomed and sought after. Then, perhaps without spending too much effort, he can get those people to take out the legendary weapon. It is necessary to first determine whether the weapon can pose a threat to Rong Yuan. After all... it is... something... that... happened... hundreds... of... years... ago...
After more than ten seconds, Semillian slowly realized that his body had become extremely stiff, and even his thoughts seemed to be frozen.
He blinked very slowly, and then a look of extreme panic and fear slowly appeared in his pupils.
He felt a hand, light as a feather, rest on his shoulder, and with a gentle push, Semillian fell forward involuntarily.
This collapse seemed to have infinite power, and even caused the surrounding world to shatter with a snap, turning into a colorful, strange and distorted wonderful picture. Then the space was displaced, the galaxy was twisted, and in an instant it seemed as if endless information poured into the mind again. The brain seemed to become an infinitely expanding balloon, and also seemed to become a rope twisted into a knot, causing swelling, pain, dizziness, and nausea.
Semillian couldn't help but kneel down, barely supporting himself on the ground with his hands. His vision went dark and it seemed that large and small colorful flies were circling back and forth in his field of vision. He wanted to vomit but couldn't, so he dry-heaved a few times. His head was buzzing and his heart was beating violently, as if it was going to break through his ribs and jump out.
It took Semillian a long time to recover, and then he felt the pain in his palm.
At this time, his vision gradually returned to normal. Semillian was shocked to find that he was kneeling on a rough ground, with a few sharp pebbles under his palms, which had pierced his skin and were slowly oozing blood.
After being stunned for a while, Semillian looked up and found that this seemed to be some kind of underground cave. There were traces of artificial excavation on the walls and the ground, but they were not very obvious. There were also some tools such as shovels and axes scattered on the ground, but the traces of rust caused by years were obvious.
"Are you feeling better?" someone asked.
Semillian turned around and saw Rong Yuan standing not far behind him, but he didn't look at him. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and looked at something covered with an old blue-gray cloth beside him. But it was obvious that the words were directed at him.
Semillian immediately jumped up, took a few steps back, endured the pain on his forehead, held the small black hole generating portable gun in his arms with one hand, and quickly scanned the surroundings to see if there were any other ambushes. He asked, "Where is this place? What do you want to do?!"
He realized belatedly that what he said sounded like an ignorant girl being forced to have sex by a strange strong man, and his voice was unnaturally sharp. But Semillian couldn't suppress his panic, as everything that happened before his eyes had overturned the worldview that he had always firmly held for the past few decades.
Teleportation? How is that possible? How could such a thing happen?!
When Lin Qingsi, Yun Yi and others encountered such scenes, they behaved much calmer than Semillian. It was not because there was any difference in their temperament, but because to the people of Zhongwu Star, alien visitors were already a magical enough thing. So if something contrary to their cognition happened on this basis, it did not seem so difficult to accept.
The two teenagers, Lor and Mu Xiaohu, believed that their knowledge of the world was very limited, and they had a blind admiration and trust in Rong Yuan. So if they were to see this scene, although they would also be shocked, they would feel more like "He is worthy of being Mr. Rong/Brother Xiaoyuan".
But Semillian was different. He had a mature enough mind and his own firm understanding and cognition of the rules of the world. He knew clearly that although the power of nature and some tools invented by people could allow people to instantly travel through space distances measured in light years, this kind of short-distance space transfer with other people safely and soundly without the help of any props or any device protection, in the interstellar alliance he knew... No! It should be said that no one in the entire galaxy could do it! And no one should be able to do it!
The more rational, mature, and knowledgeable he was, the more he could not accept what he saw. Thinking back to the moment when his thoughts seemed to be frozen, Semillian became more and more terrified. He could not help but step back further from Rongyuan and asked in doubt, "You...what on earth are you?"
——What kind of monster is this that he has hated for many years and always wanted to kill?
Rong Yuan looked at him, and his expression at this moment seemed to overlap with Lin Qingsi's before.
The same faint helplessness and boundless fatigue hidden beneath the calmness.
"You have the shadow of a friend of mine in the past. So even though you did a lot of things in private... a lot of things that I didn't like, I tolerated them every time. Every time I thought - he is still a child compared to you, give him another chance." Rong Yuan said calmly: "But you shouldn't have done that ."
Semillian was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed sharply and whispered, "What do you know?" He repeated it loudly and angrily, "What do you know!"
Rong Yuan looked at him, was silent for a moment, and asked softly:
"Is your father... Barabbi?"
Semillian was stunned, and then endless resentment seemed to surge from the bottom of his heart, making his gorgeous wine-red eyes red as if soaked in blood. He said word by word: "So, you still remember him!"
"Of course I remember." Rong Yuan said, "He is my friend, always will be."
"Hehe..." Semillian sneered: "Then why did he die? Why are you alive?"
Rong Yuan didn't say anything, and even his eyes didn't fluctuate at all.
There was no sign of pain on his face, and Semillian hated him even more. He glared at Rong Yuan with hatred and said through gritted teeth, "My father...he worshipped you so much, he regarded you as his salvation, his hope, the god he worshipped! With just one order from you, he would abandon me and my sister, abandon my mother, and risk his life for you!"
"Your unintentional compliment can make him as happy as a child! You have praised him three times in total, do you remember? - 'Balami, your cooking is delicious.', 'Well, well done.', 'Luckily you are on this ship.' - These words, perhaps you just said them casually and have long forgotten them, but he has remembered them for half his life!"
"You said he's a good cook, but he hates people who read books, and he studies recipes over and over again all day long ! You said you wanted to go on an adventure, and he obviously likes a stable life the most, but he dropped everything and followed you without hesitation! You said there are enemies, and he followed you to fight without a word! You said you are a friend, and he trusts you without reservation! If someone slanders you, he will be the first to rush up to argue for you!"
"But what did you do? What did you do? You sent him to die!"
