In the past, Prissa was a mystery to everyone. In the past, everyone thought that she was a lone Hunter who didn't belong to any force. Although she wasn't as "lone" as Oskulos, she did come from a relatively clean background compared to the others.
However, it was gradually revealed that Prissa had a close relationship with one of the three titans of Sector S, Golden Beginning. That being said, the information wasn't necessarily true or complete. Just like how Prissa referred to him as her "little nephew" now.
Gen Xingfu must've mentioned Silin before, but Prissa's tone made Silin feel like she was talking about someone else.
However, Prissa wasn't here for Silin. After Gen Xingfu and Gen Xingji left with Silin, Prissa asked Onista about it. Onista didn't tell her the specifics. He only mentioned the key points.
"The Nightmare Tapir?" Prissa frowned. She was annoyed by the term as of late. The military was slowly coming to an end, and some of the people who supported "Miracle" had changed their stance.
After Orloss's death, the support behind "Miracle" had begun to decrease drastically, and the situation was even more obvious now that the eight corps were fighting against each other openly and covertly.
Prissa sighed. "Why would he want to come into contact with that?"
In Prissa's opinion, it wasn't something a Hunter like Silin should pay attention to. If he were to get involved in something like this, he would only be at a disadvantage. In fact, he might even get himself killed in the end.
There was no absolute right or wrong when it came to "Miracle". It was possible that something you thought was right would end tragically, just like what happened to Si Fang back in the day. Back then, there were some people who were imprisoned in the highest prison, and the so-called heinous crimes they committed were nothing more than a label they were forced to put on them after the fact.
It was because Prissa understood the importance of this issue, the general trend of the world, and how important Silin was to Angenia, Gensheng, and the others. That was why she thought so highly of this issue. After thinking for a while, Prissa hurried back to the courtyard to talk to Angenia, who was still deep in thought.
That night, Angenia went to talk to Silin. As a senior, Angenia treated Silin as her own grandson. In fact, she valued him even more than Gen Xingfu and Gen Xingji. After Prisa told her about Silin's situation, Angenia thought about it for a while and came to talk to Silin alone after dinner.
She didn't object directly. She wanted to hear Silin's opinion. Genya definitely wouldn't have brought someone with him who was stupid or blind.
"You know Master isn't a member of the League of Stars. He's from another galaxy," Silin said as he looked at Angenia, who was waiting for his explanation.
Angenia knew some of Genya's secrets, but she wasn't very clear about them. She knew what Silin was talking about, but she didn't say anything and listened to Silin's explanation.
"I can go there, but the number of people who can pass is limited. The technology is still in development, and it isn't mature yet. This is why master hasn't come to see you yet."
"Queen" Angenia was able to deduce a lot of things from the fact that Cillin had brought Golden Beginning to where he was today.
"He … is still the same as before. He doesn't want to drag us down at all." Angenia sighed. In the current situation, Genya's appearance would definitely make him a target. If Genya's forces were weak, then even if Angenia, Gensheng, and the others didn't mind, Genya wouldn't do something like this.
Silin shot Angenia a glance before continuing, "Azrael's people, Ji Feng's people, and maybe even more people know that I possess this technology. If a full-blown disaster breaks out, Ji Feng and Azrael's people will definitely force me to open the passage to the other side. If that happens, it won't be a good thing for both Mist Bodhisattva and the League of Stars. On the other hand, I can't just run away with my people. "
The fact that Wushe managed to contact Silin so quickly and divulge some information from time to time meant that it wasn't just about Huimao. Silin had a feeling that Wushe knew that he possessed the technology as well. If a full-blown disaster broke out, Wushe would definitely leave with his people, and the way to leave lay in Silin's hands. Otherwise, why would Wushe suddenly express goodwill at a time of chaos like this after holding back and observing for so many years?
Moreover, if a full-blown disaster broke out, Silin could escape with only the Eleventh Squad, but most of the Eleventh Squad's people were still here. Angenia's group, Mo Heng's group, Lung's group, and so on were still here.
How were they supposed to leave with their roots here? How were they supposed to leave on their own?
Once a person ran away once, they would run away a second and a third time. The first time they ran away would leave the deepest scar in their hearts. When they thought back on it later, they would realize that they had abandoned their homes, abandoned their former comrades, and abandoned their people. It was a betrayal.
There was nothing a Hunter hated more than betrayal.
There was no such thing as absolute obedience to a Hunter's orders. It was more about following one's heart.
Shi Tang's research was nearing its end, but if he couldn't keep up with the research, there was no way he could send everyone away before the disaster broke out.
Because of Chip, the last of the five brothers, Yue had started divulging some of the key technologies to Shi Tang. They were hoping to perfect the technology as soon as possible.
Silin told Angenia a lot of things. He didn't tell her part of the reason, but he just wanted to show her his determination.
After listening to Silin's explanation, Angenia knew that Silin's explanation wasn't complete, but she didn't probe further. She knew that Silin had made up his mind, so she didn't try to persuade him. Instead, she said, "Miracle's research bases are all over the League of Stars. Some of them are known by the military, and some of them are hidden. According to Onista, those people are really crazy. That was just the beginning. Onista and the others thought that they had destroyed all the information about the Nightmare Tapir, but they didn't expect that there were still backups. There were even some intact samples. Where are they hidden? Si Fang, who had planned everything meticulously, couldn't find them. Therefore, even if a few divisions of the military worked together, they might not be able to eliminate all the threats.
"Therefore, the entire League of Stars will face the same disaster almost at the same time. It won't be just one place. Who can avoid it? " Silin crossed his arms on his knees and said, "If such a disaster really happens, I'll get them to open the tunnel first and send you guys over."
"No," Angenia rejected immediately. "You said that the technology isn't comprehensive, and there's a limit to the number of people we can send. There are so many people in Golden Beginning, and they call me Queen. I have to live up to that title."
"What about Gensheng, Gen Xingfu, and the rest?"
"They won't leave either." Angenia smiled. "I know them."
Silin paused and asked, "How long do we have?"
"Prisa said that some of the important management members of Miracle committed suicide not long after they were captured. When they committed suicide, they were all laughing, laughing maniacally. As for the exact time, the military can't say for sure. After all, the targets were those crazy people from Miracle. I heard that the person controlling those things hasn't been found yet.
The Miracle people left some samples back then. However, there was only one success when they conducted the Nightmare Tapir's experiment again. That was the only female Nightmare Tapir that succeeded. I believe Onista has told you how to deal with the Nightmare Tapir. The things released as virus carriers will listen to the orders of the Nightmare Tapir. However, the main body has yet to be found by the military's legions. "
Prisa had told Angenia all of this. Angenia was telling Silin this because she wanted to tell Silin that there was no way he could help even if he wanted to. It was unnecessary.
Finding the Nightmare Tapir was the only way. There were so many people in the military, political organizations, and big families looking for it. How much could Silin do with his little manpower?
"It's fine." Silin smiled. "I'll stay here with you guys. I don't dare to meet master alone."
Silin contacted Eudy after talking to Angenia.
Ji Feng was going to clean up the Hunter regiments again and collect resources on a large scale. Moreover, they would avoid some of the more prosperous Star Zones once the war started. That way, they would be able to avoid the impending disaster. Silin told Eudy and the Eleventh Squad to join the operation.
With Ji Feng's capabilities, he definitely knew some inside information and knew that a great disaster was coming. However, the Hunters who traveled through space wouldn't suffer as much of a blow as the others. They could choose to avoid the disaster zone.
Cillin even contacted A 'Yue alone.
"Help Shi Tang and speed up the research. We don't have much time left … If anything happens, take everyone away from the League of Stars and return to Mist Bodhisattva."
A moment of silence later, Moon answered, "Alright." This time, his answer was very formal.
"What about you?" Moon asked again.
"Don't worry about us. Wheeze, Czedow, and I will be fine."
Yue fell silent again.
After the call with Silin, the Eleventh Squad's equipment malfunctioned for the second time. It was because Moon was overthinking again.
Early the next morning, Prisa came to Silin's resting place to wait for him.
"Cillin, my little nephew wants to talk to you." Prisa said with a helpless look on her face.
Prisa led Silin to a secret room. Silin knew just how confidential their conversation was going to be when he saw the setup of the equipment inside.
Who on earth was acting so secretive?
What Silin didn't expect was that Prisa left on her own after she brought Silin inside, leaving Silin alone.
A moment later, a light screen popped up. The person on the screen was very familiar to Silin.
"Long time no see, Silin."
Silin stared at the person on the screen and smiled. "I didn't think that the 'little nephew' Prisa mentioned would be you. Long time no see, Ci Jincheng. "
On the screen, Ci Jincheng spread his hands. "The matters of the elders are too complicated to be explained clearly. If I were to sum it up in one sentence, it would be 'the f * cking love between a prisoner of the highest level prison and a local'. "
Silin couldn't help but laugh. Just what kind of blow did Ci Jincheng suffer for him to swear?
"What's wrong? Is there something urgent that requires a Star Rank Hunter to act as a messenger?" Silin asked.
"I heard that you're going to participate in the Nightmare Tapir's matter?"
"I'm just taking a look. I'm alone after all, so I'll try my best to help out when the time comes. It'll count as me doing my part." Silin said.
Ci Jincheng was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright then. Come and help me." On the screen, Ci Jincheng smiled. "I'm going to form a special team to deal with the Nightmare Tapir."
"The military should have such a special team, right?"
"Yes, but I want to form one myself. I don't have much say in that team, and I don't agree with the person in charge. " Ci Jincheng didn't finish his sentence. Other than these reasons, the Ci Family was also interfering. Those special teams were going to enter the disaster area, and the Ci Family was reluctant to let Ci Jincheng go.
However, it was obvious that Ci Jincheng was a stubborn and uncontrollable person. After Prisa told him that Silin was interested in interfering with the Nightmare Tapir, Ci Jincheng hastily came up with a plan. It was a plan for the 'Tapir Extermination' project team that he had formed himself.
"Who else is in your team?" Silin asked.
Ci Jincheng blinked, "Everyone in our dorm was here before. Some people will join us too, such as Yue Lou, Kang Man, Pride, Allen … "
Listening to the familiar names that he hadn't seen for a long time, Silin said, "Alright, I'll join you. But will the Ji Family agree to Pride?"
"Pride will take care of it himself. He already promised that. "
"I'll bring someone and a cat over."
"Czedow and Wheeze, right? I know. Come with my aunt when the time comes. I've already told her. "
"To your side?"
"Mn, I have an experimental base on an asteroid here."
"Alright, we'll contact each other when we get there."
On the second day after they arrived at Golden Beginning's headquarters, Silin left with Prisa. Silin and Prisa left separately and met up somewhere outside of Sector S. No one, including Gen Xingfu, knew that Prisa would leave with Silin in secret.
This time, Prisa, who usually brought Gen Xingji with her, excused herself and left on her own. Gen Xingji was depressed for a long time because of this.
"Silin, are we going to do something big this time?" Lying on Silin's shoulder, Huimao said weakly and emphasized the word "big".
"Yes, something big."
"Nonsense! I heard everything you said! " Huimao played with his front paws and pulled at his ears. He complained, "Why don't we leave and leave this place alone?"
"No."
"You humans are so complicated!" Huimao sighed.
"I'm fine. You know I'm immune to those things." Silin scratched Huimao's chin.
After going through the Zebra virus, Cillin had developed a resistance to many deadly viruses. Huimao knew this. Cillin was more knowledgeable in this field, and so was the gray cat. However, how could he do something as stupid as doing something big without leaving his name?! Even if he couldn't make a name for himself, he should at least be rewarded with a huge sum of money. This time, he didn't get anything, and he still had to sneak around. It was nowhere near as sensational as it was back in the Mist Bodhisattva Sect. Although it was only a small incident, it had benefited Wheeze a lot since then. The successful establishment of the forum especially allowed Wheeze to satisfy its celebrity addiction.
Huimao scratched Silin's clothes with his claws. He wasn't happy to work for free. The life and death of other people had nothing to do with him. He wouldn't feel anything even if the entire League of Stars, including the hunting planet where he was born, were destroyed.
"It's because it can avoid some trouble in the future." Silin said.
Huimao didn't understand what Silin meant, and he couldn't be bothered to think about it either. After licking his claws, he curled into a ball and fell asleep on Silin's legs.
Prisa's spaceplane didn't have any special markings, but it was unimpeded after entering Sector C. Her flight path was special. It was obvious that she had prepared for this long ago.
Silin was surprised that Prisa was related to the Ci Family by blood. It was no wonder that Prisa was able to become a Star Rank Hunter. Other than her own abilities, her connections were also very strong.
The planet Ci Jincheng mentioned was at the edge of Sector C, and close to Sector B. Following the chaos of the League of Stars, some of the famous schools in Sector B had become much quieter. They were far less lively than before. In this chaos in the Star Alliance, many forces had fallen from power. Many students, who had gone from experts to experts, could not even afford to pay their school fees. There were also some people who were protected by their families due to political reasons and did not return to school.
As for the teachers in the school, some of the more experienced ones like Mo Heng had been snatched away by various parties. Those with important achievements in engineering, medicine, materials and so on were all busy accepting commissions. Where would they find the time to take care of students?
It had been a long time since Silin had been to Seven Lights.
While he was thinking, Prisa told Silin that they were almost there.
The image of a planet was already displayed on the screen.
This planet wasn't a habitable planet. Its habitability didn't even reach Rank C. The planet was covered in protective shields, and almost all of the protective shields were enclosed bases.
From the outside, the planet looked very attractive. However, when Silin and the others reached the planet and landed in the base, they were greeted by a different scene.
"An artificial steady state environment?" Silin looked at the interior of the base and sighed.
The inside of the base was like an independent little world. There were forests, streams, and four seasons of the year. The air was pleasant.
These were all man-made, and many of them were the application of new technology.
Huimao started rolling on the grass after entering the base, rubbing and sniffing here and there. He habitually marked the places he was satisfied with.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Silin!"
A person walked over from not far away and said. The person was not Ci Jincheng, but Silin's classmate from Seven Lights years ago.
"Long time no see, Kang Man."
