The word âmissingâ was like a switch that turned on Ji Nianâs sharpness which had been hidden recently.
The man grabbed by Ji Nian looked around in shock at the flickering lights.
Eh...
Whatâs happening?
âMister Ji, calm down!â
Curly Hair and Little Zhu ran over from nearby as they sensed the abnormality.
Ji Nian didnât seem to hear them, though. His whole person was exuding an uncontrollably murderous aura.
The psychic force spilled over and they were all affected.
They had splitting headaches.
âWhatâs wrong?â Little Zhu covered his head and questioned the man who was grabbed by Ji Nian.
âJust now... just now Mister Ji asked me... the zone leader... I donât know...â The man bent over. Obviously because Ji Nian was holding him and he couldnât endure the pain.
[Alarm, abnormal psychic force invaded...]
Little Zhu shouted at Ji Nian, âMister Ji, please calm down.â
âAh, whereâs the zone leader now?â Curly Hair scratched his head anxiously. It was worrying that she left such a time bomb here.
[Alarm...]
Then the battleshipâs alarm stopped abruptly.
Ji Nianâs body fell and Little Zhu rushed to catch him.
But he felt dizzy and the sky and earth were spinning, so he also began to fall down.
Ji Nian fell against him and he became even dizzier.
In his dim sight, he seemed to see Shi Xing holding an iron bar, which glowed coldly, holding the cat in his other hand. He calmly threw the iron bar away as Little Zhu looked over.
Kuangdang. A crisp sound.
Little Zhu: â...â
Curly Hair went to help Ji Nian up and shoved him at Shi Xing, then came to help Little Zhu up. âAre you all right?â
âIâm feeling dizzy.â Sparkling stars were still hanging around before Little Zhuâs eyes and he saw Curly Hair with two heads.
Curly Hair held Little Zhu in his arms and then turned to Shi Xing. âTake him to Zone Leader, and Iâll take Little Zhu to do an examination.â
Shi Xing wanted to throw away Ji Nian. But thinking that he was the zone leaderâs treasure, and good for study as well as for funds, he could only pick him up and leave.
But where could he find the zone leader with this treasure?
Shi Xing realized this after walking some distance, so he took Ji Nian to find Curly Hair again.
In the medical room...
Shi Xing went in without knocking the door. But Curly Hair turned over his chair as if he was frightened, and Little Zhu lay on the medical cabin, face pale.
âWhereâs the zone leader?â Shi Xing just took a glance before averting his gaze.
Curly Hair pushed Little Zhu into the medical cabin and closed the door, then pressed the automatic examination.
âThe mecha has automatic positioning, so you can check it.â
Shi Xing pulled out the screen and began to operate something. He looked up after a while. âWhich mecha has Zone Leader taken?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â...â Curly Hair was speechless.
He looked at Shi Xingâs screen. There were many mechas scattered on it; some were moving toward their direction which should be on the way back, but some were motionless.
Which one of them was the zone leader?
The two were silent while staring at the screen.
After a long while, Curly Hair said, âMister Jiâs psychic force is very strange, perhaps we can study that while Zone Leader is away?â
Shi Xing pushed Ji Nian to him. âGoodbye.â
Curly Hair: â...â
Curly Hair was just talking nonsense and didnât dare touch Ji Nian. He pulled Shi Xing back. âWait, what if this little ancestor wakes up and begins to attack everything again? You should contact the others and see where the zone leader is now.â
Shi Xing thought for a moment and agreed. He contacted the nearest mecha to them.
âZone Leader? I donât know, she told us to go back first and she left with... that Ji Jing.â
âZone Leader left with Ji Jing.â
âI donât know where she is.â
âZone Leader is fine.â
They received these answers soon, but no one knew where Ming Shu had gone.
Just at this moment, Shan Yin pushed open the medical roomâs door and rested his eyes on Ji Nian. He asked, âWhat happened to Mister Ji?â
âHe fainted,â Curly Hair said. âJust now his psychic force went out of control.â
Shan Yin also heard the battleshipâs alarm just now.
âZone Leader has gone to Earth, you need to send Mister Ji there, Iâll stay to handle some affairs.â
All the other starzones had been handled, only Hua Xia Starzone was left.
âWhy did the zone leader go to Earth?â
Shan Yinâs cold face revealed a weird expression. âDonât ask, just send Mister Ji over.â
âLet Shi Xing go, I need to wait for Little Zhu.â Curly Hair pointed to the medical cabin.
Little Zhuâs psychic force was the weakest among them and he couldnât bear a psychic force as strong as Ji Nianâs.
...
β345-5823423âEarth.
Luo Yan stood on a pile of bones and looked at the person nearby. âYouâve gone a little too far.â
âI think itâs okay.â Ming Shu smiled. âCompared to your scheming in the dark, I donât think itâs too much for me to torture you head-on and vent my anger.â
â...â
On that desolate star, Ming Shu had obviously brought more people than him.
His super mecha was very powerful but was still defeated by her.
So he was kidnapped hereâto be bait.
If he hadnât run fast, he would have been eaten by those interstellar beasts.
âJust kill me!â
âThatâll dirty my hands.â Ming Shu shook her head. âIâm not gonna do that.â
Luo Yan shut up. Some noises came from afar. Luo Yan took a deep breath and began to run as the interstellar beasts appeared.
Ming Shu didnât stop him. He would come back himself anyway.
Ming Shu dragged an interstellar beast out of the group from the edge, and while those interstellar beasts didnât notice her, she rolled down the next hill quickly.
When Luo Yan came back, Ming Shu had already begun to roast her meat.
He leaned on his knees and gasped. His clothes were dirty and messy, and his face was also black and white.
He sat opposite Ming Shu, reaching out to pull the thing around his wrist. He didnât know what the thing was, but he couldnât take it off.
He would feel uncomfortable as soon as he put a certain distance between them.
The further he walked, the heavier his body would feel, and in the end he couldnât move at all.
But as long as he returned to the safety radius, he could move freely.
âYou can cut off your hands,â Ming Shu suggested with a smile. âAnd feet.â
Luo Yan: â...â
She said such dark words with such a bright smile.
Luo Yan had probably never been so wronged. He hadnât felt so wronged even facing Qi Yu.
He didnât lose. He felt wronged.
âI have no taste for self-mutilation.â Luo Yan gave up struggling with the thing.
If you canât change something just donât waste time; save your energy and look for a way out elsewhere.
Luo Yan watched Ming Shu eat and couldnât help but diss her: âAre you a pig?â
âIf I donât eat enough, how can I have enough strength to torture you?â Ming Shu said naturally.
â...â It sounded reasonable, but he didnât want to admit it at all.
Luo Yan was also hungry. The roast meat looked miserable but should be edible...
He reached out and tried to take some. But a slap immediately landed on his hand and turned the back red.
âWhat are you doing?â How dare you try to grab my meat, are you seeking your own death?!
âIf Iâm starved to death, who are you going to torture?â
âYou have nutrient sticks.â Food-Protector Shu glared at him.
Luo Yan sighed. âYouâve taken my space button.â
Ming Shu remained unmoved. âYou have another space.â
Luo Yan: â...â
Luo Yan was angry as soon as he thought about this. âHow did you break my space last time?â
Ming Shu smiled; there seemed to be stars in her eyes. âTake a guess.â
