Jing Huang stood under the Rubik's Cube spaceship, looking up.
"Come down," he said.
The Rubik's Cube spacecraft didn't respond, so Jing Huang repeated it twice more. His voice was so weak in the wilderness, but Jing Huang seemed to believe that even though he was hundreds of meters away and blocked by the outer walls of the spaceship, the other party could still hear his voice. When he repeated it for the third time, there was still no movement from the spacecraft. Either the owner inside the ship didn't hear the gangster's request at all, or he made up his mind to ignore him.
So Jing Huang raised his right hand. Because his left arm was limply slumped at his side, the posture looked a bit like he was slinging salt water. Before Luo Binhan had time to express this feeling, he found that the wind and clouds above his head were moving rapidly, and the color of the sky gradually became darker.
He rushed forward and slapped off Jing Huang's raised right hand: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Call thunder." Jing Huang said, "First chop it down and then talk."
"Can we behave in a civilized manner? Didn't your mate ask us to be polite first and then fight?"
"The ceremony was over just now." Jing Huang said impatiently, "Pretend to be dead. Just chop it."
"That's Ren Tiaozi's boat! Who will pay if you damage the boat?"
"Let it go find Wuyuan."
Luo Binhan also wanted to talk to him about the issue of nibbling the elderly and family relationships, but Jing Huang had already raised his hand regardless. Luo Binhan watched helplessly as dark clouds surged in the sky, and a dark purple thunder and lightning fell from the depths of the cloud vortex, landing squarely on the surface of the Rubik's Cube spacecraft. The whole world seemed to fade away in that moment, leaving only the outline of thunder tearing through Luo Binhan's vision.
He covered his eyes and screamed: "Jing Huang! Where the hell did you get such a job?"
"I knew it before. Didn't you use it when you were kidnapped by that dwarf star demon? But that one used a talisman written by the headmaster. No matter how small it is, it won't be broken."
"Fart! How could it be so bright last time?"
"Last time it was smaller. This one is bigger."
Luo Binhan felt that his eyes were as painful as onion juice. While crying uncontrollably, he said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense to me, is it a matter of size? How the hell was it so bright last time? Are you shooting the flashbang to hit it, or to spite me?"
In his blurred vision, he noticed that Jing Huang seemed to glance at him, but in the end he said nothing. Luo Binhan rubbed his eyes hard twice, and finally he could see clearly the sight of the Rubik's Cube spaceship in the distance. The spacecraft was unharmed under the attack of purple thunder, and a layer of translucent spherical blue light enveloped it airtightly.
The Rubik's Cube spaceship begins to change. A module stretched out from the bottom and was aimed at them like a muzzle. The image of a big-headed penguin appeared above the spacecraft, looking down very seriously.
"Please report your identity." it said, "My spaceship was attacked by you. The reason needs to be known to me, otherwise the behavior will be regarded as a premeditated attack."
"Are you the colleague with the red bulb eyes?" Jing Huang said, "I asked him for money."
The image of the big-headed penguin shook its head.
"His brother is on my boat." Jing Huang said expressionlessly, "His brother hit my boat and now he has no money and wants to leave. I asked him for money."
The big-headed penguin fell into thinking. After a while it said: "Please provide the amount that needs to be repaid. Within a modest range it will be repaid on my behalf."
"One hundred million Zhisi coins." Jing Huang said without hesitation.
The big-headed penguin didn't speak, but its neck began to shorten significantly, trying to squeeze into the body as much as possible.
"This expense cannot be borne by me," it declared solemnly. "It must be discussed directly between you and Upsilon."
"...You should save money to buy a decent translator first."
"My voice cannot be analyzed by conventional equipment."
"Then you can scream backwards from now on." Jing Huang said, "Hey, why did that red bulb eye escape?"
"We are looking for the reasons."
"Don't you have any clues?"
The other party's image paused for a few seconds. It was obviously not an entity, but it accurately stared at Jing Huang with its dark eyes that were larger than the diameter of a locomotive. Luo Binhan suddenly realized that it might also be a kind of bird - does that mean it is also easy to listen to Jing Huang?
Big-headed penguins are obviously not as easily driven as other birds that Luo Binhan is familiar with. But it didn't care at all about the fact that Jing Huang was trying to chop down its spaceship, but said patiently: "Freeze is being chased by us, and an important position is occupied by Upsilon. It is unacceptable to leave without authorization." This type of coercion is our main suspicion, but the source of the threat has not been proven. Waiting for notification is the action you should take."
"He's one of yours after all, so he's not that easy to threaten, right? Even if he really encounters any trouble, doesn't he give you any signal at all?"
"The last report left by Upsilon has been read by us. The last contact was a member of his group. The content of this record has been fully reviewed, and the possibility that he was under mind control has been basically ruled out. There is no Any cryptic messages are discovered.”
Jing Huang began to think deeply, and the bright eyes of the big-headed penguin gradually made Luo Binhan feel guilty. He remembered the second time he and Momolo visited Upsilon. If the big-headed penguin also knew about this, it would be obvious that he and Momolo would also become important suspects in the disappearance of Upsilon. . And although Upsilon did not express his intention to arrest Jing Huang, his colleagues may not have the same idea. He tugged at Jing Huang's sleeve furtively: "Master, forget it. If you can't ask, let's leave."
They got into the sub-cabin aircraft and met Marin who was waiting there.
"How is it?" Marin asked.
Luo Binhan shook his head.
"That bird may be lying." Marin reminded, "They will not easily leak internal information to outsiders. If they suspect that Upsilon is taking illegal actions, they will not do so. After all, you have people on board. His relatives."
Luo Binhan couldn't say that Marin's judgment was impossible, but the impression the big-headed penguin gave him was actually not bad. "I think it's quite honest," he said. "The main thing is that it's a little bit logical."
"You don't know about Vimbaldi emperor penguins, man. They've got a lot of famous liars among them. I'm not saying they're all, but they're famous for their robberies: cute wild traps that first act like they're stupid. Taking a small animal, being lured onto a boat by some unsuspecting idiot to feed it, and then having a weapon pulled out of its mouth – can you imagine that?”
"That's impossible." Luo Binhan said, "But that's okay. After all, they are penguins, and I have seen even more heartless species."
He stopped continuing this topic with Marin, and instead flew the sub-cabin aircraft towards the port. His next goal is to send Marin safely to Uona, and then continue to try to find out information about the disappearance of Upsilon. This is Yaleriga's bottom line requirement: they must find out as much as possible the reason for Upsilon's disappearance within three days before considering whether to set off to the Old Galaxy Front.
That is definitely not an easy task, but Luo Binhan does have some ideas. He even felt that his idea was probably right, but he did not mention a word in front of Marin, but sent him to Uona's spaceship full of gossip. The high-heeled boy who had met him once helped Marin carry his luggage and wanted to invite them in to sit there, but Luo Binhan refused - he secretly hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Wuona.
It wasn't until Marin disappeared from the entrance of the spacecraft that he drove the sub-cabin aircraft upward until the buildings on the ground were as small as ants. He looked up, down, left, and right, and then at the detection radar to make sure there was nothing around him.
"Okay, Master." He patted the back of the chair and said to Jing Huang, who was sitting behind him with a cold face, "Do you think that penguin is lying?"
"No."
"Then I know the truth." Luo Binhan said profoundly, "There is only one person who can do this, and that is..."
"It's not 'frozen'." Jing Huang said.
"I didn't say it was that pervert, okay? If he could lure Old Motago away, he must be the milk tea girl you played before."
Luo Binhan said confidently: "She pretended to be Lao Mo and lured his brother away. This must be the case. Otherwise, why did his brother keep silent? Didn't he think that his brother was possessed by evil spirits and rebelled and ran away from home? Is that right? Come on, let’s talk it through today. What’s the relationship between milk tea girl and you? She must have gone to punish Brother Mot because of you.”
Jing Huang glanced at him sideways, but didn't say a word. Luo Binhan calmly held his eye sockets and was about to continue to extract a confession when another voice came from behind him.
"You'd better not talk about shadows so loudly," the voice said. "They're everywhere."
Luo Binhan turned around. He saw the black cat lying on Marin's seat and wagging its tail, holding a white flower in its mouth.
