It was the two voices that Silin had memorized deeply after the hypnosis effect was broken.
One of the voices had hypnotized Silin. Although he didn't know which side "Mist" or "Wushe" belonged to, it seemed that the person who had hypnotized Silin wasn't this person. Silin could tell that the voice hadn't interfered with his consciousness, which meant that the person who had hypnotized him was someone else.
Be it "Mist" or "Wushe", they were flying around the neutral zone openly on hoverboards without anyone noticing them. It was truly dangerous. After all, they were two top assassin organizations.
This was the military's territory, and all the satellite surveillance was in the military's hands. Right now, Silin didn't dare let Czedow invade this place. There were too many experts here, and both he and Czedow would be done for if they were caught.
After cleaning up his thoughts, Silin flew back to the base. There were some things he needed to explain as soon as possible.
Just like Nata said, a portion of people had arrived as the day of the leaders' summit drew closer and closer. Kari and the others were the first batch of Vanguard's follow-up forces, and the second batch would come to replace the first batch. However, every B Squadron would send a portion of their people instead of all of them. Then, they would take shifts so that everyone could see the planet and familiarize themselves with the environment and terrain.
After Kari and Xiao Shang's shift, the Seventh B Squadron took over. Kari and the others had to return to the small planet in the satellite belt. Unlike Silin and the A Squadron, they couldn't stay here forever. However, Czedow didn't leave. He stayed inside Silin's room and kept an eye on things without anyone noticing.
Before Kari and the others left, Silin had a talk with them and told them to train as soon as possible.
"Lieutenant, is there work to do?" Kari rubbed his palms together.
"It's always good to be prepared." Silin didn't say it out loud, but it was enough.
"Alright. Don't worry, I'll pass on the lieutenant's message. Even that white fatty will be watching closely!"
"Tell the others to pay more attention."
In reality, Silin knew that the situation was even more complicated and serious than Nata had made it out to be. It would be fine if it was just a fight for resources, but what if it was about Olillo?
Fifty years ago, it was just one incident that involved several parties. Now, they were all gathered here. Once Olilo's senses discovered them, even if they didn't start fighting now, the war that would erupt after they left this planet was not something that could be compared to fifty years ago.
After Cillin and the others had left, Cillin couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He didn't know if it was because of the voice he heard earlier or something else, but he just couldn't calm down. He was planning to study the parasite samples Nata had given him, but he wasn't in a good state right now. He didn't have the mood to study the samples at all and just stared blankly at them. In the end, Cillin went around on his hoverboard alone.
At the meeting area the military had circled out, there were small automated service points built at intervals. These places provided food, some basic necessities, and some small entertainment. Some young people from different forces would drag old friends they hadn't seen for many years to these places. Therefore, there were a lot of people at every service point.
Silin bought a glass of fruit juice from a small beverage shop. He didn't order alcohol. His mind was already muddled and irritated to begin with, and drinking would only make him even more muddled. Right now, he needed to calm down and think about things.
The surroundings were very noisy, but there were still some empty seats around this beverage shop. They were all open-air. Cillin sat down in front of a small table for two and drank fruit juice under an umbrella that blocked out the light. He watched the people coming and going.
The young people were in groups of three to five, with the symbols of different forces. They were jostling and joking. Silin also saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a butterfly tattoo on her arm. Different from Guidie Shiqi's ghost butterfly tattoo, the butterfly tattoo on her arm was a swallowtail butterfly, and the pattern on the swallowtail butterfly's wings was like that of a tiger. Silin heard her companions call her "Tiger Phoenix".
Lan Hudie's swallowtail butterfly was her subordinate.
Qing Feng handed the juice to Tiger Phoenix. Noticing Silin's gaze, she looked back at him, then withdrew her gaze and left with Tiger Phoenix.
After Lan Hudie's two subordinates left, Silin looked around again.
The cold temperature of the juice didn't calm Silin down. It was not because of the noise around, but because he had a feeling that something was going to happen.
Silin's fingers were tapping on the juice glass unconsciously. Suddenly, his movement stopped, and all the hair on his body almost stood out.
Silin saw a person, a person who looked very ordinary, and his appearance and clothes were not eye-catching. However, it was this person who made Silin feel that he was surrounded by icicles, and if he moved a little bit, he would be pierced into pieces.
Yes, this was the reason for his irritation.
After the shock, the irritation in Silin's heart subsided.
That person just walked over step by step. There was nothing special about him. His steps were not big, and he was neither fast nor slow. Through that pair of pupils, Silin couldn't see the hidden emotions in them at all. At first glance, he seemed to be smiling casually, but when he looked carefully, he found that he couldn't see anything.
Silin knew too well what such eyes meant. It was either a killer or a person who was so cold that he was almost cruel and numb.
The others who weren't stared at by that person didn't have any abnormal reactions. They were still drinking and chatting, and they didn't know that there was such a killer approaching step by step. Only when they met that person's eyes would they understand the uniqueness and horror of this person.
Now, Silin felt like he was in a world of ice and snow. His whole body was cold, and he stood there motionlessly. His whole body was tense, and he was ready to fight at any time. Although Silin knew that his death rate in this fight was more than 70%, he had no way out when facing this person.
Silin was even careful with every breath, and he always kept his state at the peak. However, under the gaze of this person, Silin was quite clear about the disparity in strength between the two sides.
There were weapons hidden in Silin's leaf-patterned ring, including guns and cannons. However, against such a person, he would be killed before he could take out the weapons. Therefore, Silin still put more attention on this person, and at the same time, his mind quickly turned to think of a way out.
The strange thing was that when the person walked five meters in front of Silin, he suddenly stopped. The look in his eyes seemed to be a little surprised, and then he smiled at Silin. That smile made Silin feel even colder, but the good thing was that the person's line of sight turned away and walked in another direction.
It wasn't until the figure was submerged in the crowd for a long time that Silin slowly let his tense muscles relax, and his back was full of cold sweat. The mouthful of juice was really cold.
"Do you know who he is?"
The sudden voice shocked Silin. After he reacted, he looked behind him. He really didn't feel anyone behind him, but perhaps it was because of this person behind that the person didn't make a move? Just now, Silin was sure that the person's target was him, and he only changed his mind later.
"Hunting Knife Gadar? You're also invited to the summit? "Silin asked.
The person standing behind Silin was indeed Hunting Knife Gadar, and he still looked like a harmless academic.
Gadar sat opposite Silin with a glass of juice and smiled, "Yeah, but I'm not like you Vanguard people. I'm a lone ranger after all, and the only reason they invited me here was to sign a treaty and set their minds at ease. I don't have the right to divide the area or anything, but I will get a sum of contract money. "
After thinking for a moment, Silin understood the meaning behind it. After he thought it through, the problem returned to its original track.
"Who was that person just now?"
"That person …" Gadar swirled the juice in his glass, "Back then, he beat me half to death, and it took me more than a dozen years to recover."
Silin nearly spat out the juice in his mouth. It turned out that Gadar was squatting in Sector S's prison after he was injured, but it was a good place to recuperate. At the very least, it was well hidden.
However, someone who could injure Hunting Knife Gadar …
Silin's eyes widened, and his fingers made a six, and then a one.
"Yes, he is one of the Six Stars lone hunters."
As expected of that level.
"Among the Six Stars of Hunt, other than the four from the Big Four, you know of two lone hunters, right?"
Silin nodded, "But I don't know who they are."
It was true that with Silin's current identity and level, he could not meet the people who stood at the top yet. But what was up with that person just now? Silin did not think that he had offended him.
"One of the two lone hunters is alright. She is the only female among the Six Stars of Hunt, Xin Prisa. She has a lazy personality and does things according to her own preferences, but at least she's not bloodthirsty. Strictly speaking, she's not a lone hunter. "
Silin raised an eyebrow. He really did not expect there to be a woman among the Six Stars of Hunt.
"As for the other person, that's the one you met just now. Oskulo, that guy kills as easily as he eats. He is known as the loneliest and most vicious lone hunter. The people he knows have all killed their way to the top, and he only recognizes them if they can survive his attacks. As for the people he has decided to kill, other than a few Star Hunters and a few from the Heavenly Edict Empire, no one is still alive. "
"Then you …"
"It was just a spur of the moment. He hasn't made up his mind to kill you yet. However," Gadar looked at Silin, "I'm not trying to discourage you, but based on what I know about Oskulo, he definitely has his eyes on you."
Silin caught the other meaning in Gadar's words. "Just eyes on me? He doesn't want to kill me? "
"That depends on what he has on you that is worth his attention. He is a person who will not make a move without direct benefits. Of course, that doesn't rule out the possibility that he might kill on a whim for fun."
Olillo's Star Map fragment!
However, he didn't feel the attraction from Olillo's Star Map just now.
Gadar could tell what Silin was thinking. He said, "There's no need to doubt it. It's exactly what you're thinking. Some people have the means to hide the attraction and resonance."
Silin frowned. In other words, the people who were targeted were those who did not have the ability to hide the attraction and resonance, and he was one of them.
"Do you want to know how to hide them?" Gadar asked with a faint smile.
Silin looked at Gadar. This lone traveler's smile was sly no matter how he looked at it.
"Senior, if you have any requests, just tell me."
"I like to talk to smart people." Gadar finished the juice in the glass, but he still held the empty glass in his hand and played with it. "I can tell you how to hide it, and I can also give you a piece of Olillo's Star Map fragment. Of course, this fragment is not the type you want, but it is the type that the Andriera family needs."
Silin lowered his eyes and did not say anything, quietly waiting for Gadar to continue.
Seeing that Silin did not respond, Gadar continued, "The conditions are actually not much. When the time comes, after you collect the Olillo's Star Map and activate Olillo, I want to accompany you. Of course, I promise I won't delay your matters, and I might even be able to help you."
"Senior Gadar, let's not talk about whether I can get it or not. How do you know what kind of fragment I have? Out of the five Olillo's, only two are known. Excluding the one from the Andriera family, I don't know what the remaining two are. "
"I know. I know what kind of fragment you have, and the people looking for it are not people you can resist. 'Azrael' and Oskulow are both waiting for the one you have. "
Silin was shocked. There was actually an "Azrael"! However, from what Gadar said, he did not know that he actually had two pieces.
"What's this in my hand?" Celine asked.
"In the Myth of Creation, the one that represents new life is called a 'shortcut.'"
"Shortcut?"
"I once heard a guy from 'Azrael' say that the 'shortcut' might be a space jump point, a jump point to a jump point outside of the star system where the League of Stars is located."
This news undoubtedly shocked Silin. Due to the abnormal environment around the star system where the League of Stars was located, the League of Stars Research Institute had tried some space technology, but to no avail. That was why no one from outside the star system had ever entered the star system of the League of Stars, and no one from the League of Stars had ever gone out. Even the people from the Big Four could only go out a little around the star system, but could not completely escape.
If this news were to be known by the military, even Knight and Mo Heng would not be able to protect Silin. But was he going to hand it over to the people from Vanguard now?
"I advise you to keep it for yourself. Vanguard isn't as united as a piece of iron. Unless Ji Feng personally promises it, don't take it out easily."
If Silin agreed with Gadar, then the best time was to wait for him to join the A Team. But before he joined the A Team … "Then how can I guarantee that I won't be killed by 'Azrael' and Oskulo, the Star Hunter?"
"Don't worry about the people from 'Azrael.' Their main goal right now isn't to get the shard, but to find it. The most important thing for you right now is to escape Oskulo's knife."
"Easy for you to say. How am I supposed to escape? Run to Ji Feng's place? "
"If you run to Ji Feng's place now, it'll undoubtedly be a direct confrontation between Ji Feng and Oskulo. With the current situation, more than half of the people in Vanguard will die."
Silin fell silent.
"Don't worry. I've already divined for you. There will be ups and downs, but you won't die in the end."
Silin was so angry that he laughed. "I didn't know that Senior Gadar believed in this."
Gadar simply said, "Some things have to be believed."
Some things have to be believed … Silin thinks of Tico's rabbit.
"Alright, I'll tell you the method now. As for the people from 'Azrael', I'll go talk to them. They won't touch you for now."
Gadar and Silin sat there and chatted, but no one around them could hear what Gadar and Silin were saying. Even if there was a listening device next to them, it wouldn't be able to pick up any sound.
An hour later, Silin rode his hoverboard back to the Vanguard area in exhaustion. The moment he got back, he fell asleep.
Gadar's method used up too much spiritual power. Practicing alone took up more than half of it. But even though it was very taxing, Silin could still afford it once he got used to it.
No wonder those who could get the shard without being found out were all strong. Ordinary people with rank A genes would definitely not be able to afford such an amount of mental power consumption.
"Hey, Silin, what's wrong?" Huimao jumped onto Silin from the cat's nest of fish biscuits.
"Get down already, you smell like fish."
Huimao stomped on Silin a few times like he was venting his anger before jumping back into his nest. As expected, sleeping in a nest of fish biscuits was the best.
Silin lay on his bed and looked at Huimao who had crawled back into the fish biscuits. He began to think of a countermeasure. It was obvious that Huimao would be a good helper against Oskulos, but whether or not he could be of any help was another question altogether.
Just as Gadar said, 'Azrael's men didn't come looking for Silin, and the leaders' summit had begun.
The summit ended after five whole days of meetings. No one except the participants knew exactly how many people had participated in the summit, or what the process was like. However, the division of Sector Z had been made public.
There was no telling if there were some internal rules, but Ji Feng's division just so happened to include the planet where they mined the special energy ores. All in all, Ji Feng's division was pretty good.
Of course, there were people who were satisfied, and there were people who were dissatisfied. The military didn't care what would happen to those who were dissatisfied. It was a matter of personal luck, and they had to accept it even if they were dissatisfied. If you want to fight, then go ahead. As long as you don't break the bottom line.
Silin left the big planet with the crowd and returned to a small planet in the satellite belt. After packing up a bit, they departed for their assigned division.
The A Squadron's starships were at the vanguard, and the B Squadrons were at the rear. It was an impressive formation that was far more domineering than the Sixth Division's solo operation. This was the true strength of the Big Four.
At the same time, on an inconspicuous starship, Gadar was talking to the person opposite him.
"Can that kid really succeed?" The person sitting opposite Gadar asked.
"Yes. Let's wait and see."
