The black chariot roared all the way and stopped steadily at the gate of the mayor's official residence.
Then, the door opened, and Estelle jumped out with her hands raised in joy.
"Yo! I didn't expect us to be back so soon! Perth! "
"Woo … Estelle, you're so energetic …."
Behind Estelle was a pale and wobbly Joshua.
"This is the first time I've seen someone drive a car like this …."
On the other side, Sherazard also came down with the help of the door frame. She was dragging a corpse with her.
"Hey, what do we do with this guy?"
"Can't we just throw him away in a garbage dump?"
Fangzheng suggested indifferently. Sherazard sighed helplessly and placed the blonde man, whose eyes were rolled back and was foaming at the mouth, on a chair not far away.
Then, the three of them arrived at the gate of the mayor's official residence. At the same time, Fangzheng and Fay also followed.
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at the two people behind him, Sherlazard was taken aback for a moment and asked.
"You're here on behalf of the mayor to deal with the missing ship, right? In fact, we're here for the same thing."
"Huh? Is that so? "
Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at Fangzheng in surprise, while Estelle nodded.
"Ah, speaking of which, we did see Mr. Fangzheng outside General Morgan's room just now …. You were also yelled at by that uncle?"
"Haha, it's okay."
Facing Estelle's question, Fangzheng shrugged with a smile, while Sherazard stared at Fangzheng in confusion.
"As far as I know, isn't the main business scope of Starlight Technology Entertainment Products? What does the disappearance of the ship have to do with you? "
"Sorry, that's a trade secret."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"But since we have the same goal, why don't we help each other? A sheep is herded, a flock of sheep is also herded, isn't it? "
"…."
Sherazard stared at Fangzheng in silence for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright."
Then, the group entered the mayor's mansion, and in the office on the second floor, they saw Mayor Maybell, who was busy with official business. At this moment, she was sitting behind her desk, staring at a large pile of documents and worrying.
"Dealing with the dissatisfaction and opinions of the citizens, delaying the purchase of goods in the market due to the air traffic control over Perth … repairing the sewer equipment … the demonic beasts' rampage in Ansel New Street … AHHHHHH! When will I be able to finish dealing with these documents!! "
At this moment, the frantic Maybelle saw Fangzheng's group and was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, you're back … Mr. Fangzheng? Why are you here? "
"The missing ship is also related to Starlight Technology, so we came to see the situation. We happened to meet these little guys, so we followed them."
Fangzheng also gave a simple explanation. Then, Maybelle looked at Estele and the rest.
"Then please explain the situation."
"Okay."
What Estelle said was basically the same as what Fangzheng heard from General Morgan. After listening to their report, Maybelle breathed a sigh of relief.
"In any case, at least we know it's not a crash but a kidnapping …. This is good news. Next, we need to inform the relatives of the kidnappers …."
"Please wait a moment."
After listening to both sides, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Estelle.
"Have you fought against the space pirates before?"
"Yeah, when we were in Lorient, they even dared to break into the mayor's grandpa's house to rob things! If they didn't have an airship, Joshua and I would have caught them long ago!! "
Estelle was obviously indignant about this matter. She was still in a bad mood when she talked about it.
"An airship … .Then what kind of airship are they on? An empire? Or a republic? "
"It's an old-style armed airship."
This time, Joshua answered Fangzheng's question.
"Oh …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng nodded and began thinking.
According to Estelle and Joshua's report, the space pirates had already committed several crimes in Lorient, then they came to Perth to hijack an airship? Wasn't this a little too much? This was like a petty thief who suddenly had a stroke and wanted to hijack a plane.
Although the clues were still unclear, it was enough for Fangzheng.
"Then, we'll take our leave."
After reporting, the group left the mayor's mansion. Fangzheng greeted Estelle and the others at the gate.
"For now, the airship shouldn't be leaving the Perth area. We'll continue to investigate according to this clue. If there's any news, we'll inform you from the Guerrilla Association."
"Huh? You're leaving already? "
Estelle seemed a little reluctant to leave when she heard Fangzheng's words.
"Long time no see. I thought I could chat with you for a while, Mr. Fangzheng."
"Hahaha, when you get to Chase, you can come to Starlight Technology to find me. I'm sure there'll be something you like there."
Fangzheng smiled and waved his hand at Estele before returning to the chariot with Fei. With a whistling sound, the black chariot once again roared as it sped forward, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Ahh, how boring."
Watching Fangzheng leave, Estelle couldn't help but sigh. She turned around and saw Joshua beside her staring at the place where Fangzheng left in silence.
"What's wrong? Joshua? "
"Ah, Estelle? Nothing. "
Upon hearing Estelle's question, Joshua returned to his senses and hurriedly shook his head.
Estelle stared at Joshua, and then her expression changed.
"Huh? Could it be that you are interested in that aspect, Joshua? Come back! I won't allow you to step into the forbidden abyss!! Don't be infected by that weirdo! Wake up!! "
"I told you it's not like that …"
Joshua sighed helplessly when he saw Estelle grabbing his shoulder and shaking it hard. He retracted his gaze.
"It's probably just an illusion …."
After learning more information from Estelle, Fangzheng immediately opened "Black Flag". It was time for the almighty Magic Conch to appear!!
However, when Fangzheng investigated the air pirates, he was told by "Black Flag" that they didn't exist?
What's going on? Didn't exist?
Upon receiving this information, Fangzheng was rather surprised. Therefore, he searched for the air pirates who hijacked the scheduled ship, but he still found nothing. This was interesting. Although the information of this world was not the same as the world created by the Goddess of Order, Fangzheng could still read it. But now, he couldn't even read it, which meant that there were "no such people". There were only two possibilities.
One was that the air pirates were strong enough to resist the search of "Black Flag", and the other was ….. they weren't air pirates at all!
They were just a group disguised as air pirates!
If that was the case, then it could explain why the keyword search resulted in a "no such information" reply.
But even so, Fangzheng still obtained useful information. From Mayor Maybell, he obtained the name and serial number of the missing ship. After investigating again, Fangzheng quickly found the location of the ship.
As expected, it was still in Perth.
In fact, when Fangzheng found the ship according to the guidance of "Black Flag", he also saw a group of people dressed as air pirates transporting goods from behind the ship.
"They really aren't ordinary air pirates."
Standing on the abandoned mine, Fangzheng sneered as he looked at the orderly "air pirates" who exuded the aura of iron-blooded soldiers. Fey, who was beside him, nodded.
"Yes, there's no doubt that they're the Hunter Corps."
"So these guys committed crimes in Lorient to make themselves more deserving of the title of" air pirates "? That's interesting. "
"Should we make a move?"
Fey had already clenched the daggers in her hands. Her body was tense, and her usual reticent and lazy look was gone. She was like a cheetah staring at its prey, waiting for Fangzheng's order to take action immediately.
"Hmm … Wait, someone's coming."
"Huh?"
Fey was stunned when she heard Fangzheng's words. Suddenly, a voice came from not far below them.
"It's over!!"
Along with this voice, Estelle, Joshua and Sherazard ran over and blocked the way of the "air pirates". Then, they saw Estelle staring at the enemies with a long staff in her hand.
"As long as there is a trace of the source of evil in the world, the burning fire of truth and justice will never disappear! The guerrillas who represent love and justice, enter the stage!! "
"… …."
It was cold. For some reason, Fangzheng suddenly felt very cold.
Fey stared at Estelle silently. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Is this the chuunibyou Ling was talking about?"
"More or less, Estelle is also at this age …"
"More or less, Estelle's also at that age …."
Fangzheng silently pressed his forehead. To be honest, it was really cold.
At the same time, Estelle and the others also started fighting with the 'space pirates'. Although Estelle and Joshua were young, their strength was not bad. They had the upper hand against the 'space pirates'. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the outcome of the battle was decided.
"What do we do now?"
Seeing that her prey had been stolen, Fey felt quite displeased. Even though her expression didn't change, her tone wasn't too good.
"Don't worry, there's still a chance."
While saying that, Fangzheng pointed to the air pirates' Airship not far away.
"Let's get what we want back first."
So, taking advantage of the gap between the two sides, Fangzheng and Fey quietly sneaked into the opponent's Airship and began to search the warehouse.
But after searching for a long time, they did not find what they were looking for.
"How is it? Fey? Did you find it over there? "
"No."
"That's strange, they were clearly moving the goods just now …"
Just as Fangzheng was pondering over it, the sound of hurried footsteps came from above. Following that, an exasperated voice sounded.
"Quick, take off!"
"Don't let them catch us!!"
Soon, the Airship shook violently and flew directly into the air. Fangzheng looked out through the porthole and saw that not far below, Estelle and the others were fleeing like rats in the smoke grenade … So, you guys actually let them escape after fighting like this? Sure enough, it's easy to make mistakes when you're young.
"Forget it, let's not look for them. It's faster to ask them directly."
Fangzheng made a decisive decision. He and Fey left the warehouse and went to the control room in front of the Airship. The hunters were also in a sorry state, but even so, they were operating the instruments very nervously. They were obviously afraid of being caught.
Fangzheng made a gesture to Fey, who nodded and raised her weapon again.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
Just as the two were about to act, the sound of a communication call came from the control panel. One of the hunters opened the communication, and a low voice came from the other side.
"Have you left?"
"We were almost caught. Damn it, what's with those guerrillas?"
"Guerrillas?"
Hearing the hunter's complaint, the voice on the other side paused for a moment.
"Don't worry about them. Did you get the thing?"
"Of course."
"Good, now come to location C."
"Now?"
"Now."
"… Understood."
The hunter ended the communication and once again controlled the Airship to turn and fly away. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and signaled Fey to stop.
"Let's wait and see. There might be a good show."
The two hid in the warehouse again. After a while, the Airship stopped at the edge of a lake. Then, the cabin door opened, and the hunters left the Airship. At this moment, Fangzheng and Fey walked out of the Airship. Then, they saw the hunters talking to a pitch-black man wearing a helmet.
"Where's the thing?"
"Here."
While speaking, the leader of the hunters took out something from his pocket, and the man glanced at it.
In the next moment, sword rays flashed.
In the blink of an eye, the lightning-like sword rays swept across the hunters' bodies. Then, the hunters spat out blood and fell to the ground.
"— — —!"
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng couldn't help but whistle.
"I didn't expect someone to move faster than me. It seems that you're the mastermind behind this?"
"… … …"
Hearing Fangzheng's voice, the man turned his head and looked at Fangzheng.
"You're … the president of Starlight Technology, Fangzheng? Why are you here? "
"Because there's something belonging to Starlight Technology on the missing ship … Ah, the one you're holding in your hand. That's why I'm here to see if I can find it … After all, we can't just throw our things around. "
While saying that, Fangzheng pointed to the small box in the masked man's hand. Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, the masked man remained silent.
"Although I don't know who you are, it's not good for you to run away after taking something from Starlight Technology."
"… … Sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, I think you're mistaken."
At this moment, the masked man suddenly spoke.
"I'm not the mastermind behind the scenes. In fact, I'm Second Lieutenant Lorenz Borg, a member of King Libel's intelligence department. This time, I was ordered by the Secret Service to investigate the disappearance of the ship. "
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng slowly walked in front of the masked man and stared at him.
"Do you think I'll believe you just because you say that?"
"This is my ID."
As he spoke, the masked man took out his ID and handed it to Fangzheng. The latter took the ID and glanced at it.
"So?"
"Therefore, we are not the masterminds behind the scenes. We just intercepted the information of these space pirates.
I'm just pretending to be their buyer and meeting them here. "
"And what you want to buy is the core components of Starlight Technology? I think you should order this from Chase Central Workshop. "
"The core component is the most important secret of our Libel Kingdom. Of course, we have to take it back at all costs."
"…"
"…"
For a while, the two did not speak. After a while, Fangzheng sneered.
"Well, let's take it as you said … So, can you give it back to me?"
"… … Of course, no problem."
Facing Fangzheng's request, the masked man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and handed over the small box in his hand. Fangzheng opened the box and looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Second Lieutenant Borg. I hope you can rescue the hostages as soon as possible."
"We will."
After saying this, the masked man bowed to Fangzheng, then turned around and left. As for Fangzheng, he narrowed his eyes and watched the masked man disappear into the forest. Only then did he open his mouth and smile.
