Chapter 177 [Near-Death Reincarnation]
The Amethyst Royal Fleet, Kansa, finally arrived here under escort.
His expression was somewhat complicated. Looking back, the past was like smoke and he was no longer that innocent boy.
It has been trained into the shape of Li Yu.
Buzz——
The ship door opened, and Eric appeared in front of Kansa with his men. He smiled warmly, took two steps forward, tightly grasped Kansa's hand, and said sadly: "It's good that you come back safely!"
Kansa sneered in his heart. In the past, he would have sneered at Eric's appearance, but now he is a mature young man.
He held Eric's hand tightly and burst into tears: "Brother, I am so miserable!"
In Eric's confused eyes, she slept and cried on him.
Kansa kept in mind Li Yu’s earnest teachings—those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters.
Eric suppressed his nausea and maintained a melancholy look, but secretly tried to push Kansa away.
But Kansa held his hand tightly, and with so many eyes watching him, it was difficult for him to burst out with all his strength.
Eric was covered in snot, and Kansa finally stopped. With red eyes, he said, "Thanks to my brother's comfort, I am out of the haze."
Eric forced a smile, but it was useless as a comfort. He only said two sentences in total.
Then, Kansa said viciously: "I don't know which bastard actually leaked my information and almost prevented me from coming back. If I knew, I would definitely cuckold him!"
Eric's expression gradually became restrained, and he stared at Kansa coldly. The soldiers around him didn't know what was going on, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Haha..." Eric suddenly laughed again, but his eyes were grim: "It's time to go back. Father is waiting for you anxiously."
"So soon?" Kansa pretended to be puzzled: "Brother, don't you still have to conduct inspections?"
"I can ask General Goff to send you back first."
"No need. I'm afraid it's not safe to go back by myself." Kansa smiled, walked straight past Eric and walked into the ship.
Eric's eyes were like ice, but when he turned around, he had restrained all his emotions.
General Goff of the Amethyst Royal Fleet was the direct elder of the two men. He was not very enthusiastic towards Eric and Kansa. He simply greeted Kansa and left.
After all, the Amethyst Royal Fleet came here in the name of protecting the Inuit Hub, and Eric's political inspection had not yet begun, so he naturally could not leave casually.
In an interstellar dock in the starry sky, Sast violently vented his dissatisfaction.
"waste!"
"waste!"
"A bunch of rubbish!"
The fragments of exquisite decorations were scattered all over the ground, Sast's eyes were bloodshot, and Ruijin lowered his head not far away, not daring to make a sound.
If he said the wrong thing, Sast would really dare to kill someone.
But he was also a little shocked and angry. What on earth were the Sun Hunters doing? The location of Kansa had already been given to them, so they couldn't even kill him?
Now there is not even a single piece of news. His Royal Highness only learned from Eric that Kansa had returned.
When they come back, even if they don't die, they will be skinned alive.
Ruijin had not yet realized the possibility that the Sun Hunters had been completely wiped out.
Not until the noise gradually died down did Ruijin dare to slowly raise his head. Sast's hair was disheveled, and the light from the crystal on his forehead shone through the gaps.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Contact Anxing, I want to talk to him."
…
The matter in Kansa has come to an end, and Li Yu is not planning to stay in the Inuit hub for long. The spaceship was destroyed in the previous battle, so they don't have to worry about whether to change the spaceship.
Three days later, Amethyst from Kansas was granted the title of Honorary Sir. In order to avoid attracting the attention of interested parties, only Li Yu was granted this title for the time being.
It will be slowly filled in later. Kansa has been much more cautious. An identity of little value still took several procedures to be processed.
He himself hardly intervened. After all, he was a descendant of the Amethyst Emperor. No matter how powerless he was, there would always be people who would cling to him.
With this identity, there will be almost no obstacles in the Star Empire, but that's all.
Although they nominally enjoy the treatment of second-class citizens of the Star Empire, it is only in name only, and they do not have the corresponding benefits.
The sandworm was placed into the system space. It was originally a product of the system, so naturally there was no problem.
During this period, clone No. 1 did not disappoint Li Yu.
[Special Ability - Near-Death Reincarnation: As an ordinary person, Batman can recover quickly after so many life-and-death crises.
Passively activated when in near-death state, recovering to normal state of life, cooling time: three days. 】
This was the reward that Clone No. 1 got for beating Batman half to death. After tracking him for several days, Clone No. 1 could no longer bear it and almost beat Batman to death.
"I respect you as a man." Li Yu gave a thumbs up to clone No. 1.
And he also figured out some of the rules of the system.
The system's rewards are generally divided into two parts. One part is the normal rewards, such as [Batmobile] and [Bat Emblem], which are items or abilities on the character.
Normal contact can be obtained.
The other part is incredible items or abilities, which are traits of those people or even certain characteristics that are ridiculed.
Rewards are only given if you make contact for the first time or kill the creature.
Most of the time, only this kind of reward is worth existing.
[Near-death rebirth] is obviously Batman's "characteristic". Facing Superman, Doomsday, and even Darkseid, his injuries can always be recovered in a short time. Isn't this against the will of heaven?
This was a ball of light that looked like a bat. It was directly crushed and integrated into the body. There was no special feeling.
As for clone number two, he was still lukewarm and just continued to perform the escort mission honestly, as steady as an old dog.
"Being stable is good too...at least I won't die easily." Li Yu comforted himself.
Li Yu and his four companions planned to temporarily leave the Inuit hub on a travel ship. The travel ship with a large number of people could actually better hide their tracks.
In front of the southern docking port of the Inuit hub, a large number of interstellar passengers were rushing back and forth, and various spacecraft were taking off and landing from time to time, although it still looked prosperous.
However, it can be found that the faces of many incoming interstellar travelers are not simply excited, but rather mixed with nervousness and uneasiness, which is rarely seen in previous Inuit hubs.
"Dear passengers, the Infield travel ship is about to set sail, please board as soon as possible."
"Dear passengers, the Infield travel ship is about to set sail, please board as soon as possible."
This is a medium-sized long-distance travel ship, a conventional model with an alloy hull, an ordinary jump engine, and an onboard energy shield.
The ship has a brightly colored "Infield" lettering on its side.
The Infield Interstellar Travel Group is one of the largest travel groups in the Star Empire, and its tentacles have extended to several nearby civilizations including the Amethyst Civilization.
Li Yu and his four companions were interspersed among the interstellar passengers, looking inconspicuous. After their tickets were checked, they successfully entered the cabin.
This spaceship is a low-level spaceship of the Infield Tour Group. The entire cabin is filled with densely packed seats and is extremely noisy. All kinds of strange races are crowded together, and the crying of naughty children can be heard incessantly.
Even though Li Yu and his companions bought first-class tickets, the space was only slightly wider, not a separate small room .
In fact, there are no separate small rooms on the entire spacecraft, and it is precisely because of this that the spacecraft can accommodate two thousand normal-sized life forms.
Each ticket costs about 50,000 star coins, and a trip costs 100 million star coins, which is staggering. Even ordinary interstellar travel is not affordable for ordinary people.
This is the only spaceship closest to the Inuit hub and the destination of Li Yu and his companions.
"Please make way..." A muffled voice came from behind. Li Yu moved sideways to let the [Parr] behind him pass first. They had a strong body odor that could only be covered up with stronger perfume.
"Mom, it smells so pungent."
After this [Parr] passed by, the little Loli behind him frowned, covered her nose, and waved her pink and tender little hands in front of her nose.
"Be polite..." her mother said softly, her curly hair covering half of her face, her curly figure perfectly outlined by the tight long skirt, her smooth ankles stretched into exquisite high heels.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. What a coincidence? He actually ran into that mother and son.
That little Lolita was clearly the girl who was scared and cried by Li Yu in the Terran Building. I didn't expect that they would also leave on this spaceship.
Li Yu helped them pick up their luggage and put it in the luggage locker above their heads.
The woman looked up at Li Yu and thanked him hurriedly. Her white and tender fingers unconsciously lifted her hair behind her ears.
"Thank you, uncle..." The little Loli was also very polite.
"It's okay..." Li Yu smiled and shook his head, and said casually: "The Inuit Hub has been in turmoil recently. Are you two the only ones traveling?"
"It was just me and my daughter, and we just wanted to go out and relax, but who knew we would encounter something like this." The woman called herself Sinai and her daughter was named Keller.
Sinai was still frightened, as what happened in the Terran Building was still vivid in his mind. If he hadn't met that man, he and his daughter would have died long ago.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that there would be monsters that eat human children in a place like the Inuit Hub." Li Yu sighed deliberately, staring at Keller's little face.
As expected, Keller's little face froze suddenly, as if he remembered something. His facial features squeezed together, his mouth pursed, and he was about to cry.
"Keller! Have you forgotten what your mother told you?" Sinai lowered her head and comforted him.
Keller's mouth pursed again and again, and he was stubborn again and again, but in the end he didn't cry.
"Mom said, that's not a monster, that's a hero..." Keller said in a crying voice. She didn't know what a hero was, but she knew what a monster was.
Sinai gave Li Yu an apologetic smile, found his seat and sat down.
Li Yu was a little disappointed that he didn't see Keller crying in fear. He shook his head and just turned around, he found several strange eyes falling on him.
"It's rare to see you take the initiative to talk to others." The hunter said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Acquaintance." Li Yu said only two words. Mo Duo glanced at him lightly, turned his head away and said nothing.
Several people were seated in a row, with Li Yu sitting next to Mo Duo, on the outermost side.
"The spacecraft is about to take off. Passengers, please fasten your seat belts and put on your weightless protective suits. The oxygen tanks are under your seats... Infield will be with you."
Boom!
The engine spewed out blazing blue flames, and the entire spacecraft trembled and roared violently, something Li Yu had not felt for a long time.
They gradually left the Inuit hub, and through the porthole, the starlight was shining, embellishing the dark universe with brightness. The shining stars were so far away.
There may be life on every shining star. The endless universe is vast and boundless, desolate yet full of vitality.
The outline of the Inuit hub gradually became blurred, and spaceships of various shapes rose and landed, gradually disappearing into the starry sky.
The first-class cabin is quite large, with about a hundred people. When the spacecraft officially enters the jump state, the staff will serve various entertainment foods and drinks.
Ordinary travel ships do not travel very fast in the interstellar space, so this journey is destined to be not too short.
Bored, Li Yu turned on the interstellar network. This travel ship was equipped with quantum network technology. After all, the voyage was too long. Who could bear it without the interstellar network to relieve boredom?
Since we have not left the range of Amethyst Civilization, the first thing we pushed was the big news from Amethyst Civilization—
"Surprise! While inspecting the Inuit Hub, the Great Prince Eric was splashed with feces by the Amethyst people from a non-home planet!"
The news was accompanied by a shaky video with screams and laughter.
"You high and mighty guys, why do you discriminate against us!" The man shouted loudly, and was shot dead on the spot, causing exclamations.
Just watching the video doesn't reveal anything.
Until someone dug out that man's background and found out that he was just an ordinary Amethyst man. Until one day, he found out that his wife was sleeping with a man from the Purple Star.
In the end, not only was his wife robbed, but he also became homeless. What's even more infuriating is that he was insulted by the Amethyst people from his mother planet, who said that he was not an Amethyst person at all.
This directly detonated the already deep-seated racial divisions within the Amethyst Civilization.
Being cuckolded, being weak, being bullied, being expelled from the Amethyst community, all of these things, one by one, are like sharp knives, engraving on the hearts of the Amethyst people who are not from the mother planet.
His act of throwing feces was understood, but Eric's act of ordering his men to shoot him directly was condemned.
"...As a member of the royal family, I should be held accountable for this matter. We have enjoyed privileges for too long without fulfilling our due obligations..."
"Next time we face this kind of thing, shouldn't we think more about it instead of just shooting them dead? After all, they are also our people."
Kansa spoke through Simpson's media channels with a sad face.
Kansa's statement raised the public opinion on this matter to a new level.
Even the dissolute prince Kansa rarely thinks seriously, what about the rest of the royal family? If there is no crystal on the forehead, does it mean that you are not a purple crystal person?
Even if the Amethyst Civilization can control public opinion within its borders, the nearby civilizations are reporting the incident frantically, fearing that the heat of the incident will be suppressed.
Even the Interstellar Race Rights Organization has paid attention to it.
"Not bad..." Li Yu nodded, feeling very pleased that Kansa did a good job.
Kansa asked Li Yu for his opinion on this matter, and the action plan was also modified by Li Yu.
Including the man who threw feces, he was indeed a real victim. The Amethyst Civilization is so large that there are always a few victims of persecution. By slightly modifying the details and with the cooperation of Mangu, such a big drama was staged.
Li Yu once told Kansa that once he tied himself to anti-discrimination, it would be difficult for others to touch him.
If anything happens to him, everyone will think he is being discriminated against.
It was just a casual move, and no one knew how far Kansa could go, but at least for now he could help him solve the problems of his identity and the sale of the amethyst core.
"By the way, how is More?" Thinking of the amethyst mine core, he naturally thought of More, and he turned around and asked.
The hunter glanced at him, operated a few times on the smart terminal, and sent a message.
As far as he knew, Mor, along with his daughter and Morcasa's elite team, had defected to the Reformers.
As for Morkasa, it was listed as a new immigration pilot point by the Amethyst Civilization, which means it was actually split up.
Joining the reformers... is indeed a good choice. Li Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
…
In the silent starry sky, an asteroid belt is slowly rotating, with a large amount of rubble and metal ruins intertwined.
It seemed that a great battle had taken place here, and it looked quite old, with the metal covered with rust.
On the outskirts of the planetary belt, two huge arc-shaped metals were arranged in the starry sky, with arcs of electricity intertwined between them and extending into the void.
A medium-sized battleship was floating around, which was a kilometer long. Although it looked old, those energy cannons and the ferocious main gun were no joke.
The battleship's command room looked extremely dirty and messy, with black dirt on the edges of various buttons, and an indescribable smell permeating the air.
Several raiders in worn-out armor sat casually on the chairs, looking very lazy, chatting with each other and laughing from time to time.
It wasn't until a tall figure in reddish-brown armor walked into the command room that they suddenly became nervous.
A cold voice came from under the reddish-brown armor: "According to the information from the hook, the ship will pass by here soon. Is the jump interceptor ready?"
"Boss, we're ready." One of them answered immediately.
Another person asked hesitantly, "Boss, isn't this too risky? I heard that the Amethyst Royal Fleet is in the Inuit Hub."
Someone nearby patted him on the head and said in a muffled voice, "What are you afraid of, you coward? White Spider just hijacked a travel ship a few days ago and demanded a ransom of 2 billion. Now he's living a carefree life."
"That's right, the big guys causing trouble in the Inuit hub haven't been caught yet, and they have no time to pay attention to us." The boss looked around and comforted.
In fact, many people were a little afraid. After all, this was the border between the Amethyst Civilization and the Star Empire. They couldn't afford to offend the Amethyst Civilization, let alone the Star Empire.
However, due to the disruption of the Inuit Hub channel during this period, the culprit has not been caught yet, and there is not even an explanation.
This caused the deterrent power of the Amethyst Civilization to drop sharply, and most of the plunderers saw it and thought, damn, the big guys have gone to the Inuit Hub to cause trouble, it won’t be too much for me to follow behind and get some soup.
"But this matter must be done quickly, before the Amethyst Civilization recovers from its shock. We should do it and run away." The eldest brother also had his own opinion. As the first shot, White Spider reaped the benefits.
The situation is not certain for latecomers, but as the second batch, they still have the possibility to give it a try.
There are many plunderers who share the same idea as him, but the location he chose is more risky. It is already close to the Star Empire. If an accident happens, it will be the wrath of thunder!
At this moment, the two curved pieces of metal trembled continuously, thick electric arcs raged, and the space here began to distort, as if something was trying to come out.
"Alarm, alarm... The spacecraft is forced to leave the jump state. Please be prepared for impact. Please do not unfasten your seat belts and wear your weightless protective suits. The oxygen tank is under the seat..."
The red light flashed, accompanied by the sound of a rapid alarm. Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes, looking a little surprised.
The surroundings had begun to become noisy. Many interstellar passengers were confused and stood up to look around in fear.
"What does it mean?"
"It means it's going to crash soon!"
"What!?"
"What happened?"
Keller lay in Sinai's arms and raised his head in confusion: "Mom, what happened?"
“It’s okay…it’s okay…” Sinai’s whole body was trembling slightly, and he hugged Keller tightly.
Outside the porthole, the bizarre scenery began to distort, the entire spacecraft began to shake violently, and screams filled the entire cabin.
boom!
With a loud bang, the spacecraft suddenly calmed down, and all the interstellar passengers gradually quieted down, looking around in confusion.
"Is everything okay?" Someone suppressed his voice, with a mixture of fear and expectation.
"There...there's a warship!?" Someone suddenly pointed at the porthole and shouted, and everyone's attention was drawn over.
Outside the porthole, I saw a somewhat shabby warship slowly sailing towards me, with a scarlet "××" symbol painted on its mottled outer armor.
"It's the looters!" someone shouted in horror, his face changing from anticipation to panic.
Predator!
These three words brought a brief silence to the cabin, and then it became even noisier. Many of these interstellar passengers had never seen a plunderer.
For them, these three words mean living in the news.
[Satan the Elephant] pulled his nose and cried bitterly, [Morton the Dwarf] hid under the seat trembling...
"Please remain calm, all passengers. Infield Travel Company has issued a joint announcement that we are willing to pay the ransom under any circumstances. Even if you are held hostage by robbers, your life will not be harmed."
A gentle voice came from the loudspeaker. This time it was not a machine-synthesized voice, but a live person's report. Even her tone suppressed fear and uneasiness.
But it also brought great comfort to the interstellar travelers present. They gradually quieted down, their eyes filled with fear, not knowing what would happen next.
Li Yu was a little surprised. He sat in his seat and looked at the approaching warship. Did he encounter a plunderer?
"What should we do?" the hunter asked in a low voice.
"Let's wait and see..." Li Yu said he was not in a hurry. If a fight broke out and he accidentally fell into the starry sky, it would be very troublesome. He currently did not have the ability to cross the starry sky.
In a corner not far away, a fellow with shifty eyes looked around, his eyes lingering on those interstellar travelers who were relatively calm or even unresponsive.
There are not many of them, and they are basically interstellar races with some strength of their own. They are uncertain factors, so he needs to write them down and report them.
