Chapter 769: Lurking
In a commercial apartment somewhere in the Xingyao Empire, postmodern paintings were hung in the quiet corridor, and the carpet on the floor was cleaned very cleanly.
"Is there really anyone who likes these paintings that are just randomly drawn with a few lines?" Li Yu complained to himself, stopped in front of a door and knocked gently.
Boom, boom, boom!
The third vanguard's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on the door. He seemed to sense who was knocking on the door.
"Come in..." There was a slight tremor in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.
The door was pushed open, and Li Yu walked in with a smile on his face, looking around: "I didn't expect you to be so simple, I thought you would live in a more upscale place."
"I stopped caring about these external environments a long time ago." The third pioneer calmed down. Ever since he guessed that Li Yu deliberately let him leave, he has stayed on this planet to be on the safe side.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the other party showed up.
He used various methods to test his entire body and even constructed a completely isolated information field.
But unexpectedly, the other party still found him.
This was within his expectations, yet also beyond his expectations. It was a very contradictory feeling that he could not describe.
It’s like you’ve made sufficient preparations for something, but the thing you least want to see still happens.
"You let me go on purpose, hoping to use me to lure out the organization, but unfortunately... your combat capability is no longer a secret." The third pioneer shook his head. He knew that it would be difficult for him to escape.
But there was inevitably some sarcasm in his words, after all, the other party's plan did not succeed.
In order to avoid accidents, he did not go to any known Forerunner outer bases, so that the other party would gain nothing.
"My fighting power..." Li Yu's eyes moved slightly.
The battle on the Ancient Channel was no secret.
The terrifying life form leaked some information to the outside world. Although that information has no other evidence to support it, basically no one has mentioned it so far.
If the third pioneer takes the time to check, he can indeed find it.
However, even if he believed it, he would at most think that it was the power he borrowed from other super life forms and it should not be classified as his combat power.
It is obviously impossible to get the help of super life forms to deal with him, so it is interesting that he is not prepared to resist now.
"So you are ready to surrender now..." Li Yu said.
"Since Your Excellency Long Zun is already able to fight against super life forms, why do you have to play tricks on me?" The third pioneer said in a flat tone.
"Fighting against super life forms, is this the information you have learned?" Li Yu keenly captured more information from this sentence.
This conclusion could never have been drawn from the information in the battle on the Ancient Channel.
Because the terrifying life form was able to spread the news that he had killed a super life form and captured the fallen Titan.
It is totally not something that can be summed up with just one sentence: “powerful against super life forms”.
During this period of time, his only relevant battle record seemed to be against that alien super life form.
Only the two of them, as well as Lloyd and others who came afterward, knew about that battle.
It is impossible for him to leak it himself, and the probability of Lloyd and others leaking it is also extremely small, so it means that it was that alien super life form?
He hooked up with the Forerunners?
After a series of speculations, Li Yu came to this conclusion.
If that guy is really in cahoots with the Forerunners, then the Forerunners' strange behavior during this period seems to be explained.
These two guys must have similar interests and hit it off immediately.
The third pioneer didn't know that his casual words had leaked so much information.
The main reason was that the Forerunner leader's retelling was too vague, and in order to avoid accidents he did not dare to contact the organization too much.
"Since you are not going to resist, it saves me the trouble." Li Yu remained calm, took out a metal cage from somewhere, and threw the third pioneer directly into it.
After the third pioneer entered, he suddenly realized that a large part of his abilities had been suppressed and it was almost difficult to mobilize them.
What's even more strange is that he couldn't read any relevant information about this cage.
Every object has its own information state, which is an interaction with the universe.
Even if it is a product of the dimensional world, there will be some.
Except for super life forms, they can autonomously converge information states, cut off connections with the universe, and make any predictions, curses, and similar abilities ineffective against them.
But this cage is just a dead object. It can't be an item of Titan artifact level.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and suddenly he saw Li Yu raised his smart terminal, as if he had received some information.
"The action is quite fast..." Li Yu muttered twice, then looked at the third pioneer and said, "In fact, you have been staying here all the time, which really saved me a lot of trouble."
Even if he could locate the coordinates of the third pioneer, if this guy ran to some corner, it would take him some time to catch him.
However, the other party has been staying on this planet, which saves a lot of time.
"What do you mean?" The third pioneer frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
He was very uneasy when he saw that Li Yu was neither anxious nor impatient, and did not seem angry at all because of the failure of his plan.
"Why did you release me on purpose?" he couldn't help but ask.
In order to avoid causing greater losses to the organization, he has not taken any action during this period.
No action will never go wrong.
But Li Yu was not disappointed at all, and even said that it saved him a lot of trouble. What's the reason?
"you guess……"
As Li Yu spoke, his body shape kept changing, including his appearance, skin color, and pupil shape.
In the end, the third pioneer's face was tense because Li Yu actually turned into his original appearance.
"You want to use my identity to infiltrate the organization?"
He finally understood what was going on.
Releasing him is to tell the forerunners that the third forerunner has escaped.
Otherwise, if he had been imprisoned in the prison of the Star Empire, he would definitely not be able to use his identity to infiltrate the Forerunner.
"You can't succeed!" He said firmly, "You can't imitate the organization's various codes, audit measures, or even my abilities."
External mimicry still has some use in some less prestigious organizations.
But any organization with a bit of prestige has all kinds of testing equipment, and it is impossible for external mimicry to pass the test.
"You don't need to worry about this..." Li Yu shook his head, grabbed the metal cage, and disappeared here.
…
The Kukla galaxy does not belong to any civilization, nor has it given birth to any civilization of its own.
When an adventurer named Kukla discovered it, there were only a few primitive creatures on the only life planet in the galaxy.
This place is geographically remote, with almost no large chambers of commerce or waterways passing through.
However, due to its natural environment that can be rated as a first-class planet, it is valued by some wanderers, who have established bases here.
As long as you don't pursue an overly luxurious lifestyle and supporting service measures, living anywhere is actually the same.
This planet has no starport, and the warships are docked directly on the surface.
A large number of soldiers wearing old gray combat uniforms and covering their bodies tightly surrounded the warship.
They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and their movements were almost silent, obviously having undergone rigorous training.
Keller walked down from the warship with the cadres and looked around with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Blood Demon Mercenary Group?" someone asked in a deep voice.
"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see the legion emblem?" Keller scolded unceremoniously.
The other party didn't care and continued to ask: "Have the goods been delivered?"
"They're all on that transport ship. Go check it yourself," she said impatiently.
The guy who seemed to be the commander waved his hand, and immediately some people headed towards the transport ship.
"I heard that the A-level alliance blocked you at the Hist Interstellar Corridor. How did you solve it?" he asked again.
Although all traces of the battle had been erased, the Star Empire had issued a joint investigation notice to the A-level alliance, and many people knew about it.
"Are you sure you have the qualifications to question me?" Keller said in a hostile tone, exuding a dangerous aura.
"We just want to make sure everything goes well." A sharp breath burst out, causing Keller's expression to slightly freeze.
The crowd in front of him made way for a black sheep man, and the horns on his head were like a back hair, shining brightly.
"What do you mean? Don't you want to pay?" Keller demanded.
"Your reward will not be reduced by a penny, as long as you solve our doubts." The dark pupils exuded a cold aura.
He had already made sure that there were no pursuers behind him.
But the sub-bases within the Hist Interstellar Corridor have been cleared.
This mercenary group, which was used to temporarily transfer resources, was even intercepted by the Star Empire using the power of A-level life forms, but in the end they escaped unscathed.
This had to make them suspicious.
"It's because of me..." A voice came from somewhere.
Suddenly, he found that the expression of the interstellar woman in front of him became extremely confused, her pupils dilated, and her body stiffened.
Then, another figure walked down from the spaceship and slowly unveiled his black robe.
"Mr. Third Vanguard!"
Black Sheep's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but asked in shock: "You...why are you here?"
"I escaped from the Star Empire. In order to avoid being implicated in the organization, I moved around many times and happened to see the sub-base being cleared in the Hist Interstellar Corridor." The third pioneer said indifferently:
"I wanted to leave on this mercenary group, but was intercepted halfway. Since this fleet seemed to be carrying the resources needed by the organization, I had no choice but to kill all the interceptors."
"So that's how it is..." The other party didn't doubt it at all, and even said excitedly: "I heard that you were out of trouble before, but I didn't expect to see you here."
Only when you doubt the other party will you ask them to conduct various verifications.
But the existence of [Black Widow] prevents the other party from having such doubts at all.
As long as there is no obvious external paradox that breaks this idea that is similar to a cognitive curse, the other party will not have any doubts.
For example, two third pioneers appear.
"Li Yu deliberately let me out in order to expose the organization's tracks, but... I have my own ways to escape his pursuit." The third pioneer nodded, and then asked bluntly:
"According to the information I found after I got out, the organization suffered a heavy loss not long ago, and should have been lying dormant. Why did they suddenly start large-scale operations?"
"This..." Black Sheep said helplessly: "Sir, I don't know what's going on."
"We did issue a hibernation order, but before ten days had passed, the organization suddenly issued a lot of tasks, asking us to collect various precious resources and minerals."
"And at all costs."
He didn't know either. This was not beyond Li Yu's expectations. After all, the other party should be just the head of a branch base and his status was not high.
Only responsible for actions, but not knowing the reasons.
"I can't contact the leader for the time being. Where are you going to transport these resources? I will follow you." The third pioneer said as a matter of course.
"You can't contact the leader either?" Black Sheep was a little surprised, and then said anxiously: "The leader didn't show up at the last regular meeting, and no one in the organization can contact the leader. I don't know what happened."
His concern was not hypocritical, but a genuine worry about the disappearance of the Forerunner leader.
"Um?"
Li Yu, who was disguised as the third pioneer, was a little surprised. This was just an excuse he made up casually, but he didn't expect that the leader of the pioneers actually disappeared.
"I understand. Let's prepare to evacuate from here. I have killed several A-level life forms. The Star Empire should be able to find this place soon." Li Yu ordered.
"I understand..." Black Sheep nodded, then looked at Keller, who looked confused and seemed to have completely lost his mind, and asked, "Then how should she deal with it?"
"I'll take care of it..." Li Yu raised his hand, but could not feel any energy fluctuations. Keller suddenly exploded and turned into a pool of blood, flowing on the ground.
Black Sheep looked calm and not surprised at all. He quickly organized people to evacuate from here.
Soon, they finished packing, and one transport ship after another took off, spewing blue flames, entered the jump channel, and left the planet .
The pool of blood that had seeped into the ground gradually condensed into Keller's figure.
She twisted her neck, making a crackling sound, and looked at the sky, muttering, "It's just a show, why are you exerting so much strength..."
Then, she turned and walked into the opened dimensional crack.
