Chapter 252

"Sigh, I don't know if I can find such a good place next time." Dan Heng sighed.

He recalled the process of being hunted down by that man.

There was one point he couldn't figure out no matter what.

Clearly, he had pierced that man's chest with his spear so many times, and indeed saw him fall, and even checked his breath, and there really was nothing.

But why could that man still kill his way over?

Is it an immortal body?

The fragmented memories of his past life in his mind told him some things, but didn't tell him too clearly.

Dan Heng only knew that he had to start wandering again.

At this time.

He came to a cargo ship in the spaceport, waiting to set sail and leave Jarilo-VI.

There was no other way.

After being discovered by that man, Jarilo-VI could no longer be stayed in.

If he continued to stay here, what awaited him would be endless hunting.

Just when Dan Heng was thinking about these things.

A noise came from outside the cargo ship.

It was like the roar of some machine.

If someone unfamiliar were here, they would only think the cargo ship was about to set sail.

But Dan Heng knew that this was not the sound of the cargo ship starting.

But...

The elite of the Silvermane Guards are patrolling!

Are the people of Jarilo-VI going to find me?

No, shouldn't be.

I used the Cloud-Chanting Art to hide my figure; they shouldn't be able to detect it.

The Cloud-Chanting Art is a secret art of the Vidyadhara.

It can have multiple functions.

Invisibility is one of them.

And many technological means cannot detect it.

In Dan Heng's view, the elite of the Silvermane Guards discovering this place is likely a coincidence, or rather, they just happened to scan here, rather than having already discovered his trail.

He still has confidence in the Cloud-Chanting Art.

But just when he thought so, the mechanical roar gradually moved away and then disappeared.

What appeared instead was a series of footsteps.

And...

"How long does Your Excellency plan to hide? Or are you preparing to take a spaceship to other star systems?"

"Then I have to advise Your Excellency to give up that idea."

"All the spaceships in this area have stopped sailing."

The person speaking was a male voice.

Through the crack in the cabin, Dan Heng observed outside.

Found it was a red-haired man, looking very young, with a mechanical arm on one of his hands, and his momentum was not low.

Is this someone from the Groundfire Legion?

Dan Heng didn't know much about the Groundfire Legion.

But he was no stranger to this young man with red hair named "Lu Ka."

He was set up as a role model for the younger generation of Jarilo-VI, often going out to crusade against disasters that might threaten Jarilo-VI and its surrounding trade routes.

For example, interstellar pirates, swarms, Abundance followers, etc.

His popularity on Jarilo-VI is very high.

It's hard not to know.

His strength is not something to guess; he is definitely not easy to deal with.

But now, besides coming out, there was no other way to deal with it.

It's just that there was one point he wasn't very clear about.

How was he discovered?

The invisibility of the Cloud-Chanting Art, plus his deliberate avoidance of surveillance and crowds, logically speaking, shouldn't have been discovered.

But how long has it been, and his trail was exposed?

Could it be...

I'm going to become a prisoner again?

In the time it took to think.

Dan Heng left the cabin and appeared in the encirclement.

Meanwhile.

Lu Ka reported the information.

"Target found; after comparison, confirmed to be one of the troublemakers."

After reporting, he looked at Dan Heng.

Said.

"Your Excellency, it's a good thing you listened to advice and came out, but I still want to give you one more suggestion, which is that it's best not to resist, cooperate with our investigation; if it's determined that there is no threat to Jarilo-VI, we will let you leave."

"Conversely, if you resist stubbornly..."

"You might not know, but the interstellar pirates I've caught over the years are not ten thousand, but seven or eight thousand; most of them are still locked in prison now!"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the big internet celebrity of Jarilo-VI, Miss Guinevere, and see how she came to Jarilo-VI."

116. Hanya: I might not have slept for five days, but not sleeping for five days is a bit impossible

Lu Ka's tone was not polite, but it wasn't very aggressive either.

Just stating the facts.

For example, the interstellar pirates; the number of people he caught is indeed not small.

And most of them are indeed not released yet.

Not only that.

This only counts the "captives" caught.

In fact.

More interstellar pirates have turned into ashes along with their warships.

Because these pirates are mostly heinous.

There is no need to leave a way for them to live at all.

On the contrary.

Those who can be caught and locked in prison are the minority of the minority.

The big internet celebrity of Jarilo-VI—Guinevere, has a not-so-small relationship with this matter.

Of course.

This doesn't mean Guinevere is an interstellar pirate.

But she has a relationship with them.

Her brother is an interstellar pirate.

But generally only robs money.

Doesn't kill much.

But it is to make a living, supporting a whole family.

Guinevere is one of them.

It's just a pity that walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?

Before the IPC could find trouble with them, they instead attracted the Groundfire Legion because they robbed a merchant ship related to Jarilo-VI.

Facing the core troops of Jarilo-VI, Guinevere's brother didn't have any decent resistance and was caught in one fell swoop.
