Chapter 193 Is This Really Just a Coincidence?
The door creaked.
Gamor stood at the door, holding a plate of cookies in her hands. "Excuse me, are you disturbed?"
Excuse me. Fei thought to herself. But her expression did not change. She just nodded slightly, indicating that she could come in.
"I baked some cookies, do you want some?" she asked with a smile. Her bright orange hair was braided and swayed with her head, and her jacket was tied playfully around her waist. Now Gamor looked like she was in her early twenties, no, just 18 or 19 years old, which was consistent with her claim that she was a newly graduated student. But Fei would not believe this.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry."
"Really? But I used special ingredients for the cookies this time, adding tangerine pulp and mixing it with taran milk. Smell the fragrance." Jiamoer lifted the small plate. Even without her action, Fei could smell the tempting fragrance she brought when she entered the room. She guessed that the cookies must taste good. "Mr. Yan Zhen also said that the cookies are delicious."
"Thank you, but I'm really not hungry."
Jiamoer showed a somewhat aggrieved expression. She always had an unconcealed innocence that made people let down their guard unconsciously, but Fei would never be deceived by her expression. "Fei, since I came on this ship, you haven't eaten the food I cooked." Her eyelashes trembled a few times, "Could it be... that the food I cooked is completely not to your taste?"
Ah, straight to the center.
"Because I have rules to follow," Fee said quietly. She pointed to the tapestry hanging on the wall. "In memory of my grandmother."
"grandmother?"
"Yes, my grandmother once exterminated the head-eating bats..." Fei once told the ship owner Yan Zhen about this glorious past, and now she can talk about it quite fluently. Although it was just an excuse for her to evade the issue, her grandmother still made her feel proud. "In order to commemorate my deceased relatives, during this period of time, my diet must follow the traditions of the Yimen people, keep fasting, and not eat meals prepared by outsiders."
"Ah, so that's how it is." Gamor said, as if he had suddenly realized something. "Your grandmother is really amazing."
"Well, so I can't eat the food you cooked now."
"Okay!" Jia Moer put away her plate, her eyes sparkling with joy, "That's great, I thought Fei hated me, so she refused to eat the food I cooked." She smiled with curved eyebrows, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have thought too much, it's great that the misunderstanding is now resolved!"
She looked so innocent again. Fei looked at her in silence.
"Fei!! When you finish observing the precepts for these days, come and eat the food I cook!! I will cook you my best dishes. It's a deal!" She ran out of the room, her silver bell-like voice still echoing.
Maybe she is just an ordinary Homo sapiens. Fei stared at her back and thought. But then she rejected the idea. How can she be called an ordinary person when she is proficient in so many skills?
Could she be that person?
She thought back to that night.
Fragments of memory slowly surfaced.
That dark night.
Young Fei hid in the closet trembling, cold sweat soaking her whole body. She covered her mouth in the dark, not daring to make a sound.
Outside the gap in the cabinet, there was a body lying, and the ground was gleaming with water, which was the winding blood of her father. A figure stood beside her father's body. She was the murderer of her father.
Fei stared at her without blinking, and the cold starlight reflected the slender figure of a young female Homo sapiens. Then she seemed to have noticed something and looked back at the cabinet.
Their eyes met instantly. She had beautiful orange hair and a beautifully curved face, but there was no expression on her face.
She saw me.
She knew I was in the closet.
Fei's whole body seemed to be frozen. She wanted to kill me, just like she had just killed my father.
But in the next moment, the murderer turned around and walked into the darkness, leaving silently.
…
…
She instinctively grasped her arms. Fei blinked. She was sitting in her room. The air filter was humming. This was the Zejin. She was now the navigator of the Zejin. Her employer was the ship owner, Yan Zhen.
It's been many years. Fei murmured. That was the most painful memory of Fei when she was young. Her father was murdered. A group of legal investigators came and went in her house, the Eye of Supervision came, and the people from the Safety Committee came, but in the end her father was considered to have committed suicide. The little girl realized that there was a danger hidden in the darkness, so she didn't mention the appearance of the murderer to anyone, and buried this memory deep in the sea of consciousness.
But now, Gamor appeared in front of her.
That face ignited her memories of the past like a spark. Anger and sadness suddenly surged through her body. At the moment Yan Zhen introduced Jia Moer, she felt the tingling pain in her fingertips, which was caused by the anger and fear of her father's death. She couldn't help but put her hands behind her back and clenched them.
My father's murderer.
So many years have passed, but that face is exactly the same as the one I remember.
There were no traces of time on her face. Her originally cold and ruthless face became lively and vivid, like a real young Homo sapiens girl.
Luo Ken 89 said there was no problem with Gamor's identity.
The longer they spent together on this journey, the more her anger diminished and the more doubts she felt.
Was this a coincidence? Did Gamor just happen to look like the murderer?
I just got the wrong person.
still……
Fei bit her lip and suppressed her chaotic thoughts.
She is the navigator, and her priority is to safely lead the Zekin to the Land of Hope.
This was her priority.
Perhaps this is her last flight.
They are about to go to the place where the war is burning.
Gamor ran briskly down the corridor, satisfied with Fee's explanation.
Since the beginning of this journey, the meals she made by herself even won the praise of the Chief Inspector Ilian. She conquered almost all the stomachs of the crew members on the ship, except for Fei, who was the iron fortress she had never conquered. She once stayed awake all night because Fei deliberately didn't eat her meals. She always wondered if she had done something to make Fei hate her. Now after Fei's explanation, Gamor believed it immediately.
After all, the Yimen people are famous for having all kinds of strange rules.
When her observance is over, I will cook my best dishes for her to taste. I have never seen Fei smile before, thought Gamor. I really hope that the food I cook can make her feel better.
A dog came running towards her on the deck and wagged its tail at her.
"Caicai?"
Caicai's tail wagged even more vigorously.
Gamoer looked at the small plate in his hand and smiled, "Do you want to eat some cookies? No, these are snacks for the crew."
"Woof woof!" Caicai wagged his tail hard and pleaded.
"Oh, since you want to eat it so much..."
A pair of slender pale hands reached into Caicai's body and picked it up.
He suddenly appeared in front of her like a dark shadow, and his gray-blue eyes under his long black hair looked at her sarcastically. "Don't feed the dog with random food," he said.
It's shark tooth.
But this dog is not yours. You stole it.
Most people on the ship were very afraid of this famous galactic criminal. This was normal. Whenever Shark Fang appeared, it was like bringing a cold storm. Just looking at him would cause one to be swept into the bottomless darkness. Just standing there was enough to make most people tremble with fear, and even scream for mercy.
Gamor felt that she was not afraid of him, but she did not have the courage to accuse him of his shameful relationship with the dog in front of him.
So she put away the cookies obediently and prepared to leave politely.
"I've seen you." said Shark Tooth.
"Huh?" Jia Moer was stunned and asked, "Really? Where?" She was just an ordinary student who had just graduated. She didn't remember meeting such an impressive celebrity as Shark Tooth in the past.
Shark Tooth stared at her without answering. At this time, footsteps sounded from the far side of the deck. "Shark Tooth, we need to talk." Yan Zhen shouted from behind.
A cold smile appeared on Shark Tooth's face, and he whispered, "It looks like another you." He turned and walked towards Yan Zhen.
"What?" Jia Moer stood there in a daze.
Illian asked, "Where's Sharktooth?"
"I put him in solitary confinement. We're almost at Hope Township, so it's better to lock him up to avoid any accidents," Xiao Zhen replied.
"Will he be locked up obediently?"
Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "He won't be lonely when he's with the dog."
So Ilian calmly talked about his business. "Do you know what we are about to face?"
"What is it?"
“This is a hopeless battle.”
"Sir, as the commander of the Star Order Group, is it really okay for you to say this before the war?" Xiao Zhen said.
"I know what this war is about." Inspector General Ilian looked at Xiaozhen. "As a commander, you should be clear about the direction of the war and fulfill your duties. But you, although employed by the Eye of Supervision, are still a civilian, a child who is too young. You should not go to the battlefield at this time. Even if Shark Fang is an important prisoner of the Eye of Supervision, you should not go to Hope Township at this time."
"Sir, are you trying to kick me out like you kicked out Inspector Sheying?"
Ilian smiled cruelly, "Because the rubbish from the Security Committee is more suitable to ask for reinforcements. In fact, only he can be convincing." He paused and said in a slightly gentler tone, "Young man, I will not use force against my benefactor. You really shouldn't have gone to Hope Township."
"My friend is there," Xiao Zhen answered, "Just as you fulfill your duty, my lord, I must also fulfill my promise. There are always things that must be done. I will never betray my friends." He smiled, "My lord, it's too late for you to say this now. We are almost there."
Ilian shook his head. "Young man, just as you don't know the danger of Shark Fang, you also underestimate this war." There was a hint of bitterness in his voice. "During this journey together, I have seen the abilities of you and your crew. Mr. Cat has a good eye for discovering talents like you. It really makes sense for Lord Luokun to suddenly promote him. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to meet him."
I really don't know who will be more sarcastic when you meet.
"We'll see you later."
Ilian remained silent. In an instant, Xiaozhen keenly sensed his slightly leaked superficial consciousness.
That is, he had no hope in this war. He was ready to face the most tragic defeat, fulfill his duty to the last moment, and die in the hopeful land.
This is not pessimism, nor is it despair.
This is just Illian's judgment of the facts.
Xiao Zhen also witnessed with him the alien fleet that covered a large area of the galaxy like a shadow sandstorm. Under the attack of tens of thousands of Izel alien fleets, Hope Township will be destroyed.
He pulled out the book "The Past of Hope" and said in a relaxed tone: "Lord Illian, have you read the legends of Hope's past?"
"What?"
"When Losar led his fellow workers in the rebellion, the World Honored Corporation was a powerful group ranked among the top in the galaxy. Backed by the government , it had a private army that was no less powerful than the regular armed forces. There were even records that the World Honored Corporation had some mysterious technological weapons of mass destruction." Xiao Zhen said, "In such an overwhelming disparity in power, Losar won."
"Oh? How did he win?"
Xiao Zhen recited: "Under the blessing of the light of the Star Spring, Lothar led his fellow workers to liberate the planet Asgard."
"That is to say, he gained mysterious power and won." Ilian sneered, "It really is a legend in children's literature."
"The blessing of the Star Spring Light." Xiao Zhen murmured to herself, "Is this really just a coincidence?"
A few days later, the Zekin arrived in Hope Township.
