Chapter 216: Guixing’s IQ Basin
Except for Li Yu's sandworm skin camouflage which was integrated with his skin, the optical mimicry skins of the others had already been taken away by the Black Knight soldiers.
By comparing appearance features, everyone's information is no longer a secret.
The screen projection appeared in front of Horus. Some of the information looked very ordinary and common, such as Sinai mother and son, Li Ping and Tu Ying, as well as most of the people in the superpower group.
Most of them came from the Star Empire, although they did not get along well with the Gui Influence Civilization.
But given the size of the Guixing civilization, there must be hidden players in the Xingyao Empire, and vice versa.
It doesn’t take too much time to find the information of these ordinary people.
Their information is not worth paying too much attention to, for example, the Sinai mother and son - "...disappeared in a travel ship in Infield, rumor has it that they were persecuted by plunderers and left with a mysterious man..."
Another example is Liping - "...one of the salesmen of Kamon Aerospace, who disappeared during a spacecraft delivery mission..."
And Tu Ying——"...a young troll boy, whose father Tu Rui was once the director of the Tianhuangxing branch of the Tailun Chamber of Commerce..."
Most of the information is superficial, but Sinai is actually a survivor of the Blood Tide. The spaceship escorted by Li Ping was soon piloted by Li Yu, a wanted criminal of the Empire. Tu Rui is the only senior executive of the Tianhuang Star branch who survived.
It's not that they can't dig out this deeper information, it just takes time. After all, the Star Empire is not their territory.
What surprised Horus was the Hunter's information - he was once the captain of the AEUG - Cang Yue. His resume was very long, but Horus did not read it word by word.
As the former Star-level fleet of the Star Empire, the AEUG, their information is placed on the desks of the top leaders of major civilizations.
The hunter's data does not require special investigation, and the general information has already been collected.
"Captain of the Cang Yue, Zeth Longbottom?" Horus looked at the hunter, and his tone seemed to imply something.
"It's me..." The hunter nodded. When he heard the name, his eyes showed nostalgia. The Cang Yue had not appeared in his ears for a long time.
"I didn't expect to see you in this situation - Black Knight Horus." He bowed in a respectful manner.
The Black Knight is the name of this battleship, and also the nickname of Horus. Like Augustus, he was once the commander of a top fleet.
The [Aug] and the [Black Knight] once had a brief confrontation on a battlefield somewhere.
“Teacher Horus, do you know each other?” Klein asked curiously, poking his head out from behind Horus.
"To be precise, we have fought each other before," Horus explained.
The hunter shook his head. "You fought against the [August], not me. General Augustus often talked about you. The Black Knight Fleet was amazing."
The Hunter has a heartfelt respect for Augustus, and also has the same respect for Horus who is of the same level as Augustus.
"Augustus...a memorable opponent." Horus also sighed.
Why are they still praising each other? Li Yu looked at the two of them, speechless.
To affirm the enemy is to affirm yourself to some extent, but it also depends on the situation. Didn’t you see that Hodge is still barking?
"According to the information, you seem to be with Li Yu..." Horus looked through the information for a moment and was a little confused: "Who is this Li Yu?"
Li Yu: “…”
Horus is a person of relatively high status in Guixing. Under normal circumstances, he would not pay attention to the wanted criminals of the Star Empire.
There is a quick link on the hunter's profile. After clicking on Li Yu's name, a lot of information appears.
"…kidnapping the imperial noble——Shaen…"
"...leaking the Star Gate Project caused the Star Empire to fall into the quagmire of no man's land..."
“…”
Horus's expression gradually changed, his eyes focused, his brows furrowed. This guy... is really good at making trouble.
Li Yu's information is quite detailed, because Guixing Civilization is also paying attention to the recent situation in the No Man's Land.
After careful investigation, Li Yu's name was found out and recorded, and now the file is just being retrieved.
"Why can't I find the previous information..." Horus turned to the last page, and the traceability only went up to Tianhuang Star, and then there was no trace.
On the last line, there is a note: "All information channels have been cut off. Careful investigation is recommended."
"This Li Yu... should be among you." Horus looked around at everyone and stopped at Payton and Li Yu.
"It's me." Li Yu stood up, the skin on his face moved, and gradually his original handsome face returned to normal.
Under the current circumstances, it is basically impossible to hide it, so it is better to admit it frankly.
Hodge who was not far away was slightly stunned. Li Yu... this name looks familiar... Damn, isn't he the guy that Bauhaus mentioned who brought down the entire Borderlands Plunderers?
It was all his fault that he and his people had fallen into this situation. All the new and old hatreds came to his mind. Huo Qi Na held back and shouted, "Once Zijing gets the core of the mine, it will surely usher in a period of vigorous development. Barlot will definitely not be its opponent."
The look from Horus made Hodge feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He could not help but shiver and lowered his voice unconsciously.
"Take him away and put him in jail... Don't hand him over to Barlotte for now."
Hodge was escorted away, and the place suddenly became quiet. Horus turned his attention back to Li Yu and narrowed his icy eyes slightly.
"Are you a wanted criminal of the Star Empire?" Klein asked, looking at Li Yu curiously.
Li Yu nodded, and then he heard Klein excitedly say: "Teacher Horus told me that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You are a wanted criminal of the Star Empire, which means you are our friend."
Li Yu was a little surprised. He glanced at Horus' dark old face calmly, and immediately understood what was going on. He said with a smile:
"You are right to understand it this way. I have longed for the Guixing civilization for a long time."
“Really? Then…” Klein was a little excited. Before she could continue, Horus interrupted with a cold face:
"What is the situation with this A-level life form?"
"He..." Li Yu hesitated and said, "He is an elder of a friend of mine. He has a brain problem and asked me to help take care of him temporarily."
"The Blazing Eyes?" Horus looked at Pucha's dark red eyes and naturally knew his origins.
These high-level civilizations will always pay attention to what happens to hostile forces. The destruction of the Blazing Eye Star involves the Morgan family, and Guixing also has some information.
"That's right..." Li Yu nodded, and Horus reluctantly accepted his explanation, mainly because the census did not have any response to the outside world.
Even with the gun against his head, he still frowned, as if he was stuck in some kind of problem.
The surrender of the Morgan family to the census was a secret, and not many people in the Star Empire knew about it, let alone returning to the star.
"Who is he?" Horus was silent for a moment and looked at Peyton.
There is a trace for all the other people, but this guy, no information can be found, it's like a blank.
Li Yu had already prepared a plan: "I picked it up on the road. I don't know which planet it came from. It hasn't made any interstellar contact yet."
There are only two possibilities for not being able to find any information. One is that the other party's status is too high, and the other is that the other party has never had any contact with the interstellar world.
Unless the other party is incredibly powerful, the only possibility is that they have never had any contact with the interstellar space.
Although the first possibility was unlikely, Horus still gave the order cautiously:
"Draw blood from him and do genetic tracing."
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. After all, Payton was a descendant of Mozambique. If any clues were found out, it would be troublesome.
The Guixing civilization will definitely not let go of such a nobleman of high status in order to gain benefits.
"Teacher!" Klein couldn't help but say, "You are so reckless. What if that A-level life form is dissatisfied after it returns to normal?"
Horus was somewhat speechless, and explained: "This is not reckless, but just out of caution."
However, Klein's words also reminded him that A-level spiritual practitioners are extremely valuable, and if they can be won over to the Guixing civilization camp, it will be a huge gain.
As for the so-called status problems of the census, Horus believed that the Guixing civilization would definitely be able to find a solution.
It was not worth it to add uncertainty to such a small matter. Horus hesitated for a moment and waved away the soldier who was about to draw blood.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Mr. Pu Cha. Fortunately, I have you.
"You guys please stay on the Black Knight for the time being. There are still some things that need to be verified." Horus said without question. It was obvious that he had taken a liking to old man Cousin.
A-level spiritual practitioners are always popular no matter where they are, let alone this guy who has a grudge against the Star Empire.
It was tailor-made for the Guixing civilization. As for the others, they were just extras, and Horus didn't take them too seriously.
"No problem." Li Yu's expression flickered. Horus did not give him a chance to refuse, so he could only agree.
But Guixing is not the Xingyao Empire, and there are no perverts chasing him. It seems that going to Guixing civilization is a good choice.
But why did Horus turn a blind eye to the news about the amethyst mine core and not even react at all?
Horus ordered his men to take everyone to the bottom cabin to rest, and then he left with Klein. Klein wanted to talk more, but was forcibly dragged away by Horus.
Mr. Censor was given a special resting place in the upper cabin, which shows how much Horus valued him.
"Interesting." Li Yu muttered. The network partition was removed and Xiao Chaonao's information collection work was partially completed.
Compare this to the name given to Klein by the Barot civilization - the Pearl of the Returning Star.
Things are more unscrupulous on the black hole network - the IQ basin of Guixing.
This is still a rather subtle ridicule. Princess Klein has a special liking for interstellar heroism and makes friends everywhere like an interstellar knight.
It also maintains nominally friendly relations with several high-level mercenary groups.
In fact, many of her so-called friends were basically just there to eat and drink for free, and those high-level mercenary groups were only there because of her background.
Many people in the mercenary groups affectionately called her "the big fat sheep", and she was even cheated by other mercenaries several times.
These are all information that cannot be found on the surface. Li Yu pondered over them with a strange look on his face. No wonder Klein was fighting against the plunderers everywhere and seemed to enjoy it.
…
On the way back, Klein asked in confusion, "Teacher Horus, why didn't you ask about the amethyst core? It seems that it will have a significant impact on Barlotte."
"No need..." Horus shook his head and explained, "Didn't you notice that because the war against the Amethyst Civilization has the upper hand, the Barot Civilization has become a little slack in its attitude towards Return to the Star."
"If the Amethyst Civilization becomes stronger, it may not be a bad thing for us."
"Huh? Really?" Klein's eyes were full of confusion. He was a little bewildered and didn't quite understand the twists and turns involved.
The relationship between civilizations has never been simple, but extremely complex and constantly changing.
Even though Zijing is a well-known "Iron Empire faction", she still has her own little thoughts.
Not to mention that Barlot's relationship with Guixing is even closer than that between Amethyst and the Empire.
Not expecting Klein to understand the twists and turns, Horus said with a headache: "Your Highness, can we go back this time? And those people you took in, is it necessary to take them back?"
“Go back, go back…” Klein pouted and muttered, “Why can you keep those people just now, but I can’t keep others.”
"The group of people just now are valuable. Just one A-level spiritual practitioner is worth keeping. Those you left behind..." Horus did not finish his words and shook his head helplessly.
“The things I left behind are valuable, and they can also help us return to the star,” Klein argued.
Horus shook his head and did not continue. He knew Klein's character very well and it was not something that could be changed in a day or two.
The space inside the Black Knight battleship was extremely huge. It was not until everyone's accommodation was arranged that Li Yu discovered that there were not only soldiers here, but also many "sufferers" rescued by Klein.
They are of different races, and they have no worries about food and clothing here, and their lives are even better than before they fell into trouble.
When two or three people gathered together to chat, their words were full of respect and admiration for Klein, but it was unclear how much of that was genuine.
"Are you planning to go to Guixing Civilization?" the hunter asked Li Yu about his plan.
Li Yu did not deny it: "I have this idea. Guixing and Xingyao Empire are hostile to each other, so there shouldn't be any danger."
"It's hard to say. If there is enough benefit, they won't mind handing you over." The hunter disagreed.
Li Yu was not worried: "The Xingyao Empire doesn't know that I'm in Guixing, and is the Empire really willing to pay for Guixing's interests because of me?"
The hunter didn't say anything more after hearing this. He didn't care where he went. He didn't have any goals anyway, so he just wanted to stay alive.
However, there is still a hidden danger on this battleship. Li Yu pulled Payton aside and asked him carefully, and finally he was completely relieved.
Payton can conceal his identity by adjusting his own genes to avoid being discovered for his noble characteristics. The last time he was tested by Mangu, he was determined to die, so he did not conceal it.
This time, he was well prepared and would not be discovered by the other party.
This made Li Yu feel relieved. If Payton's identity was discovered, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.
