Chapter 355: Surprising
If one day, someone told you that you suddenly had a debt of 700 million yuan, not 70,000 yuan, not 7 million yuan, but 700 million yuan, you would probably want to reload the game and restart your life.
Reality is so cruel, Xiaozhen blinked and remained silent.
Captain Madara looked at him and opened his mouth to make a comment. Xiao Zhen reached out and pinched his mouth. Mr. Cat said something cold and heartless, "You still have a planet anyway, you can use it to pay off your debt."
Xiao Zhen glared at Mr. Cat, who licked his paw disapprovingly.
Captain Madara's shameless laughter flooded into his mind through his thoughts. Physically sealing its mouth could not stop the chicken's desire to hurt others. Xiao Zhen suspected that it really wanted to experience how to be a Homo sapiens dinner. The cat-and-cat worm poked its head out from Captain Madara's feathers and rubbed Xiao Zhen's hand apologetically. For the sake of the cat-and-cat worm, Xiao Zhen decided to delay the death penalty of the chicken.
Duke Jill's communication was finally connected. His words were brief, asking them to return quickly. He cut off the communication before Xiao Zhen could ask him a question.
At this moment, the venue was still in commotion, and the guests were looking for information about this mysterious tycoon who spent billions of dollars. Since Duke Jill had already paid, it was obviously the best choice to leave quietly and not get involved in any situation.
They left the box and met Ms. Fei a few steps away. The beautiful Yimen navigator was standing there in a daze. "Ms. Fei, what are you doing here?" Zhang Fei asked.
Ms. Fei woke up as if from a dream, and she blurted out: "I seemed to have seen it just now..."
"What did you see?"
"Wait a minute." Ms. Fei interrupted him and looked around. "Is the auction over?"
"It's over. The captain of the Ji...Zejin has made his move." Zhang Fei said, "Didn't you see it? What a pity! This auction was quite exciting. The winner was decided at the last moment."
"..." Ms. Fei said, "You mean, Mr. Yan Zhen got what he wanted."
"It looks like that." He also had to shoulder a sudden debt of 700 million. Xiao Zhen asked, "What did you say you saw just now?"
"I seem to have seen it..." A trace of confusion flashed across Ms. Fei's eyes. "It's nothing. Maybe I saw it wrong."
At this time, Mr. Cat had already walked far away, and it was urging Xiaozhen with its mind at the gate.
Xiao Zhen responded with his mind and walked forward. Before he was about to leave the hall, he looked back and saw Prince Alsiel thoughtfully looking at the holographic screen in front of him announcing the success of the auction. The bottle of Zhenxuan Special Drink in the image was surrounded by various exaggerated special effects. Prince Linaru sat there with a gloomy face. Under the lights of the venue, his bloodless skin was paler than marble. The guests were still clamoring, "Who is the captain of the Zekin?" "Who stole the prince's things?"
"I heard that this is a gift that the prince wants to give to the queen!"
…
…
"Kneel down and thank me." said Duke Gil.
As he said this, he was sitting upright on his shining throne, with an arrogant look that deserved a beating.
This is where they stayed on Xiyiqi Star. It was a local hotel that Duke Jill had temporarily rented. Xiao Zhen really wanted to complain to the Xilin nobleman about his "low-key travel incognito" in person. What Duke Jill meant by low-key was that he had booked an entire floor of this luxury hotel.
Yes, a whole floor.
Xiao Zhen tried his best not to notice the luxurious decoration in the room. The Xilin nobles were extremely delicate from skin to bones to every cell. They had a terminal disease that would kill them if they didn't spend money to renovate the new place. He also built a huge crystal throne for himself in the hotel room at an unscientific speed. The damn arrogant Xilin man's small body was shrouded in the halo of the crystal throne, and he announced in a very annoying tone that Xiao Zhen owed him 700 million.
"Didn't you say you hated that Trade Winds Auction House and didn't want to lend me money?"
"I've changed my mind."
"I didn't ask you to spend 700 million." Xiao Zhen said.
"Don't be stupid." Duke Gil sneered, "If the prices are close, it means that the opponent will have time to consider and hesitate. Only by making a concerted effort to widen the distance can we catch him off guard and determine the outcome."
“…”
"The result is that I took a picture of the bottle of drink you were dreaming about." Duke Jill said proudly, "So you owe me 700 million."
“…” Xiao Zhen glared at him.
Liu Xingquan whispered: "It seems that my fine is only 120 million..." It's a cause for celebration. In the face of 700 million, 120 million has become "only".
Xiao Zhen understood his friend's guilty feeling, and he said, "No, it's not that simple. 120 million is just a fine from the Ecological Protection Bureau. Your trouble is related to a certain Xilin noble from the Glorious Group, and this can only be completely solved by catching that bounty hunter."
"But owing 700 million yuan all at once is too much."
Well, it's so exaggerated that I want to grab the Xilin man on the throne and rub him. Xiao Zhen's brain was spinning quickly. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Although this Duke Jill seems to spend money carelessly, he is not to the point of being unrestrained, not to mention for an unrelated person like Xiao Zhen. Speaking of which, he suddenly took the boat from the beginning, which was strange. He gave us the fare so that we could keep his trip and identity secret, and now he directly spent 700 million, obviously he had his own purpose.
Xiao Zhen rolled her eyes and said, "Captain, although I am very grateful for your timely help, 700 million is really not something I can afford."
"I didn't ask you to still..."
Before Duke Jill finished speaking, Liu Bei's voice came from outside. "Mr. Yan Zhen! There is an inspection!"
"It's a temporary entry inspection!!"
It was a door-to-door inspection by the Capital Guard.
Such surprise inspections were not uncommon in interstellar metropolises. Xiao Zhen and his friends were alien visitors who had just arrived not long ago, so it was a routine matter for them to undergo surprise inspections.
The fully armed and uniformed Capital Guards appeared at the elevator door. They wore steel helmets and lined up in a menacing line. Walking in front was an officer about three meters tall wearing Trivan-type mechanical steel armor. He also wore a steel helmet, and his cold eyes were scanning the crew of the Zekin through the goggles.
"All aliens on this floor, come out and assemble! Assemble immediately!! Hurry up and show your IDs and entry permits!!"
In a foreign land, strangers naturally have to be low-key and obedient when facing government officials.
Except for Duke Jill, who was the most arrogant, all the crew members of the Zekin gathered in the front hall.
Liu Bei stepped forward, opened the data tablet, and submitted the documents one by one to the chief guard.
"Sir, you see, we have actually registered with the Interstellar Control Bureau."
“…”
"Sir, you are checking so urgently. Are you investigating a case recently?"
“…”
"Sir, I heard that the security in the capital of Xiyiqi is very good."
“…”
Liu Bei used his social skills and forced himself to talk to the guard chief, but the other party's attitude was very cold and he did not give him any response.
Amid the beeping electronic sound, Xiao Zhen stood aside and watched the inspection in silence. As he watched, he suddenly felt a little confused. The uniforms of several guards looked strange. The sleeves of several guards were tightly pulled on their half forelimbs, which seemed a bit ill-fitting. These guards did not belong to the upper class of Xiyiqi. They all looked like giant insects. The ill-fitting clothes were even more glaring in Xiao Zhen's eyes. Moreover, the officer's operation of the data board for verification was too unskilled.
(Be careful.) Mr. Cat's voice came into his mind.
After getting the confirmation, Xiao Zhen calmly gestured to Ms. Fei and Guan Yu. He walked up to the mechanical armor officer and said, "Sir, please show your ID as well."
The steel-armored officer stared at him expressionlessly, then he said, "Your ship is the Zekin."
In an instant, Xiao Zhen shouted: "Get down!!"
The guards opened fire.
Laser sparks danced across the room.
Ms. Fei threw the stunned Ren Anzhi to the ground. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu swiftly dodged and rolled on the ground.
Xiao Zhen kicked over the table and pushed Liu Xingquan behind the table. He turned around and activated the force field sword.
The battle begins immediately.
The sword flashed, and the moment it was pulled out, it cut off the gun barrel closest to him. In the flying debris, the laser destroyed all the windows in the front hall. The flash exploded in the air. The energy field on Xiaozhen's sword made a sizzling sound, and he swung the sword, chopped it down, jumped, and stabbed again.
From drawing the sword to controlling the battle situation, less than a minute passed.
He knocked down all the guards at an astonishing speed, leaving only the armored officer at the scene. All his men were wiped out in a flash, which made him panic. He raised his gun and pointed it at Xiaozhen, screaming wildly: "Die!!"
After the roar of a bullet, there was a deathly silence. Xiao Zhen's hair fluttered slightly, and a big hole was blasted out in the wall behind him. The steel armor shattered, and the commander fell backwards.
A cat jumped out from behind him and landed lightly on the ground.
The sudden attack was over in the blink of an eye.
The frightened Liu Bei asked, "Why did the capital guards attack us?"
Mr. Cat said, "They are not the Guard."
"ah?"
Xiao Zhen said, "It's a fake."
Guan Yu, who had uncovered the fallen commander's helmet, asked, "Who told you to pretend to be a guard and attack us?"
"..." The fake commander said nothing.
"Hey! I'm asking you a question!" Zhang Fei picked him up.
"They were just hired to rob people." Xiao Zhen said. He had used his probing tentacles to sense the attackers' shallow consciousness. These people were paid to be used by others, and they didn't even know who hired them.
"What the hell! Why are you attacking us?!"
Ren Anzhi said, "Could it be because we captured the real special drink? That's worth 700 million, and even the most sought-after prince in this country didn't capture it."
No, it was not worth 700 million, it was the price maliciously bid up by two idle princes and a rich Xilin man. Xiaozhen couldn't stop crying in her heart.
"So their target is Ji, uh, the real drink that the captain photographed?" Zhang Fei laughed, "It's ridiculous. This is the capital, a society ruled by law after all. Do you really think you can rob people openly like this?"
No. Xiao Zhen raised an eyebrow, "I think this group of people is here to attract our attention."
Yin Ran took a breath.
Although she has retired, she will come out of retirement once and again. Especially when someone owes you a favor and then asks you to come out of retirement, and then offers you a high salary that you cannot refuse, and this goal seems very easy and simple, then it seems natural to come out of retirement again.
Her lovely little Rui seemed to have some opinions about her coming back to work. After all, this was not a small fight on the remote planet Lola, but a direct order across the galaxy. But this was for a better retirement life. Yin Ran was not ashamed of breaking her promises repeatedly. She admitted that her thieving heart always consciously or unconsciously instigated her to return to her old business, but this was really the last time. After completing this order, I would return to Lola and return to my retirement life.
She operated the device in her hand. The security defense was quite good. Data codes appeared in front of her retina, and her fingers were like jumping butterflies on the data board. She was cracking these cipher codes. She didn't have much time, but it was still effortless for her to crack this level of security procedures.
drop.
With a crisp electronic sound, all security defense programs have been successfully cracked and no alarms have been triggered.
The alien visitors on this floor should have gathered in the front hall. Now her intrusion was like entering an empty space.
But the galactic thief, the octopus spider Yin Ran, has always been vigilant enough.
She pressed a button, silently counting the numbers in her mind.
One, two, three, four…
After counting to twenty, Yin Ran silently jumped out of the ventilation duct. She had just activated the hypnotic device that was set up in the hotel. Even the Kodoro Earth-Sounding Dragon would fall asleep immediately after smelling this gas. This was another layer of her protection.
She turned on the biometric detector, which showed no signs of life nearby. Everyone should be checked in the front hall.
very good.
Click.
The door to the target room unlocked. After cracking all the security systems, opening the door was as easy and smooth as breathing.
Yin Ran walked into the room.
The safe is placed in the cabinet in the room.
Yin Ran calmed down and focused her attention on her final ciphertext cracking.
Da. Da. Da.
The safe popped open automatically, and cold air whizzed out. Inside was a bottle of ordinary-looking drink - Zhenxuan Special Drink.
This is exactly the item that was sold at an auction not long ago for a shocking high price of 700 million yuan.
This was also her target for the theft. To be honest, she had never thought that this bottle of drink could be auctioned at such a high price. But it was fine, because only in this way could it be worthwhile for the Octopus Spider to sell it.
Shocking case! A rare wine worth 700 million was stolen by a mysterious thief right after the auction! This news title really suits me. Thinking of this, Yin Ran couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
She reached out and picked up the bottle of drink. The bottle was very cold and looked very ordinary. She said to herself, "I think the person who spent 700 million to shoot this thing must be an idiot."
"Really?" Duke Gil said sinisterly behind him.
