On a rainy night on Alpha Capital Star, heavy rain poured down on the bustling capital city. After a while, the rain weakened and the heavy rain turned into a light drizzle. The San Sebas forest on a rainy night looks more mysterious and magnificent than during the day. Raindrops slowly slide down the branches and leaves that exude dreamy colors and fluorescence. The messy footsteps and rapid breathing break the beautiful and quiet night of the forest.
Paige ran in panic in the San Sebas forest, her gorgeous dress almost torn into strips, hanging naked on her body. The face that has been wearing exquisite makeup all day long has been washed away by the rain. The messy hair is mixed with branches, leaves, weeds and soil and is sticky on the face, showing a look of embarrassment. The steps under the feet are panicked and stumbled. He tripped over the vines and fell to the ground.
Paji fell to the ground and cried bitterly. She never thought that her grandfather and parents, who had always loved her so much, would give up on her. Since birth, she has been identified as having A-level mental power. As the daughter of the Elvis family, she has been honored and favored since she was a child. Who would not be courteous and flattering to her when they meet her?
Paji struggled to get up from the ground. Her nearly exhausted mental strength felt the pressure from around her that was slowly approaching her. The sense of crisis in the face of death arose spontaneously, and her fear made her run desperately into the depths of the forest. She didn't know how long she had been running away. The aircraft had already been damaged during the escape. She relied on the support of her legs and mental strength to survive until now.
She doesn't know who wants to take her life? Princess Darcy? Or the Elvis family? Or—Xia Zishu?
The group of mercenaries chasing her could clearly kill her directly, but they chased her as if they were deliberately playing tricks on her, watching her try their best to survive. And she was like a prey lying at the feet of a ferocious beast, whose sharp claws were poking at her wantonly, ready to pierce her heart at any time.
A trace of twisted hatred flashed across Paji's embarrassed face. If she could leave the San Sebas Forest alive today, no matter who wanted her life, she would make the people who made her so miserable pay the price. Princess Darcy, Xia Zishu, the Elvis family...
Xia Zishu leaned against the window sill with his head in hand, and the sun shone warmly on his body, making his side seem to be cast in a hazy light. The sharp indifference when facing strange beasts and powerful enemies has faded away, and there is a quiet beauty all over his body. He has become particularly kind and gentle, making people want to get closer.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you go in?" Bruce looked at Glick who was standing at the door in confusion, and pushed him in.
When Xia Zishu heard the movement at the door, he moved his eyes away from the optical brain and looked at Bruce at the door. However, he saw that Glick's face was in a trance as if he suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't help but look suspicious and turned his head to look. Ivan, who was sitting on the sofa, turned around and asked Bruce, "Didn't you go to the training room? Why are you back?"
Bruce just nodded in a small arc, then frowned and looked at Ivan and said, "Page is dead!"
"What did you say?" Ivan jumped up from the sofa and asked indifferently, "Are you sure it's Paji?"
Bruce nodded and said with a slightly serious expression: "It has been spread in the school that the third graders of the Mecha Combat Department went to San Sebas Forest Area 5 for training this morning and found Paige's body. The body was hung in the air by mutated vines. It has been corroded beyond recognition by the venom, but after genetic testing, it is confirmed to be Paji."
Hearing this, Xia Zishu looked confused: "Why is she in Area 5? It rained heavily last night in the capital Star City and San Sebas Forest. How could Paji go to Area 5 alone? Are there any other wounds on her body? I'm sure Did he die from the venom of the mutated vines? Rather than being silenced?"
Although Princess Darcy was expelled from Horsens Military Academy, the fact that she used Pudge's hatred for him and Ivan to release a large number of mutated plants in Area 4 of the San Sebas Forest did not spread. The reason given by Horsens was that Princess Darcy violated school rules during the training period. No matter how everyone talked about it, Horsens always remained silent.
Xia Zishu didn't take it seriously. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't find an excuse to drop out of school, he didn't expect the school to punish a princess very seriously. As a royal princess, Darcy can still live a pampered royal life after leaving school, unless the royal family abandons her.
However, as long as Principal Rachel’s status at Horsens Military Academy remains, the King
In order to consolidate the status of the royal family, His Majesty will continue to favor Princess Mia and Princess Darcy. So for today's Princess Darcy, the honor of the royal family is the most important, and the degree from Horsens Military Academy is just the icing on the cake.
It's just that Princess Darcy's character has long been spoiled by the luxurious life in the palace. Although she and Paji jointly did the training, after being mercilessly expelled from Horsens Military Academy, Xia Zishu did not think that this The arrogant and arrogant princess can swallow this breath, but there is no guarantee that she will kill Paji to vent her anger and silence her.
Although the Elvis family expelled Page from the family under the authority of the royal family, Xia Zishu did not think that Lieutenant General Upton of the Elvis family would care about the life and death of an abandoned chess piece, let alone waste his energy. Go pick up this abandoned chess piece. If there is anyone in the Elvis family who hates Paige the most, there is only one person - Sedra!
Glick looked at Xia Zishu who was deep in thought, touched his chin and said, "It's very possible, otherwise with Paji's A-level mental power, she would never dare to go into Area 5 of the San Sebas Forest alone in the middle of the night. Someone must be going to She is cornered, and the alien beasts and mutated plants in Area 5 can kill her without taking action."
Xia Zishu nodded thoughtfully: "I just don't know whether the person who took action was the one from the palace or the one from the Elvis family?"
"The Elvis family? Who?" Bruce looked suspicious.
"Stupid, who else but the most pretentious Sedra?" Glick rolled his eyes rudely. Bruce is really a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. "Sedra usually suffers from Pudge." Of all the accusations and insults, if there is anyone in the entire Elvis family who most wants to remove Pudge from her position, it is only Cedella. This woman’s scheming will not be matched by a hundred Paki’s.”
Bruce stared dissatisfied, rubbed his hair in annoyance, and finally chose to shut up. He really didn't like to beat around the bush and think about overly complicated issues, and he had been said to be crazy since he was a child. In front of the delicate Xia Zishu and Ivan, his brain capacity was even more inadequate, but he preferred to consume physical energy rather than consuming brain cells.
Ivan laughed and patted Bruce on the shoulder as comfort. He was in a very calm mood now. Paige's sudden death made him feel relieved from the bottom of his heart. In the past, only Paji always made things difficult for him. Those in the mecha manufacturing department often made trouble for him in order to please the eldest lady of the Elvis family.
But since Xia Zishu awakened his mutant mental power, fewer and fewer people have troubled him. But after all, he is not a saint, and he will not eliminate the hatred in his heart because of Paji's death. When Paji died, he would only feel happy. Evil people will eventually be punished. Paji's fate was her own fault and she did not deserve sympathy.
"The person in the palace who has the same mind as Paji, I think the person who wants Paji's life is more likely to be Sedra. Only Sedra hated Paje so much and made her die so miserably." Ivan held his chin and said, watching Paji lingering on the edge of life and death and suffering, it was more torture than killing her directly.
Glick nodded in agreement, turned to Xia Zishu and said, "Zishu, you should ask General Xing to investigate this matter after you go back. Although Paji is dead, she is a member of the Elvis family after all. Regardless of whether she was expelled from the family or not, I am worried that Lieutenant General Upton will use Paige's death as an excuse."
Ivan echoed: "Glick is right. Although we feel that Cedella dislikes her the most, I'm sure there is another reason for Paige's death. An extremely snobbish person like Elvis's current head of the family. Putting the family's interests first in everything may drain the last bit of Paji's use value."
"Indeed!" A hint of helplessness and coldness flashed in Xia Zishu's eyes. The most important thing for a big family is offspring. People like Paji who are valuable from birth, as long as they are obedient enough, the family will naturally be happy to support her. However, Once it loses the value of its existence, this chip becomes a discarded chess piece.
No matter how high Paji climbed, the more painful the fall will be when she is abandoned. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell is something that no one is willing to try. However, Pudge didn't understand. She couldn't see clearly her situation with Elvis, and she couldn't even see through Cedella who was always by her side for her to manipulate and vent her anger on.
Now that his marriage to Xing Muge is a foregone conclusion, seeing the wedding day getting closer and closer, the major families in Alpha Capital Star can no longer
I couldn't help it, Ivan's worries were not unreasonable. Seeing that Lieutenant General Upton could not change his marriage to Xing Muge, he might interfere with it, such as letting him die!
Ivan and the other three were still discussing Paji's death. Xia Zishu listened to the three people's discussion and came back to his senses: "By the way, do you still remember the monster you met during the last experience? The genetic comparison came out, and the monster's body There are not only genes from alien beasts, but also genes from humans. I suspect that someone is using alien beasts and humans to do experiments on fusion genes."
The three people looked solemn when they heard this, but everyone knew that the empire respected those with strong spiritual power. Only those without spiritual power knew the desire for spiritual power. The empire's research on spiritual power had never stopped. Those pathological researchers hiding in the dark have long been terminally ill, and they will do whatever it takes to do research, and they are extremely cruel.
The monster that suddenly appeared this time may be the product of another failed research. In the past, humans were only used for experiments. If it is as Xia Zishu guessed, those researchers have perverted to the point of fusing the genes of alien beasts and humans for experiments, and the consequences will be It's unimaginable, and more importantly, those people are hiding in the dark and cannot be easily found.
"If you have awakened your mutant mental power and those perverts know about it, they will definitely get you at all costs. You must be careful in the future. However, Admiral Xing will never ignore the issues we can consider. I believe He has already made arrangements." Glick patted Xia Zishu's shoulder with concern.
Xia Zishu raised his head and looked into Glick's eyes full of smile and concern, nodded slightly, and then lowered his head and fiddled with the small optical brain on his wrist as if carelessly. Thinking of Glick's expression in his mind, Glick's concern for him seemed genuine. If Glick was their true partner, it would be nice to have such a friend with a special status and background.
The reason why he told this matter in front of Glick was because he wanted to test it a bit. If Glick really cared about these three friends, he would probably use the snobbery behind him to investigate. The San Sebas Forest is so big. Although they guessed that there was a secret base in the forest, it was not easy to find it.
Xia Zishu breathed a sigh of relief. After being together for so long, he also wanted to take a gamble on Glick.
