Chapter 374

Wang Guangming sat on the sofa in the darkness, hands propping up the chin, gazing forward, with a complex and brilliant constellation hanging above the head.

The atmosphere was slightly dull, and Virgo merely lowered the head slightly, waiting.

"It seems our companion is quite dissatisfied with Libra."

Wang Guangming gazed with those slightly red eyes at Virgo and Hayami Kohei, who had arrived via the Spatial Portal.

This scene was very familiar; when Scorpio had failed before, Virgo had brought Scorpio back in exactly the same way, down to the very gestures and expression.

Failure is not common for the Twelve Constellations; after ordinary Star Disciples evolve, these evolved Star Disciples become 'executives', high-level personnel, and even if there is a slight difference in aptitude, they can at least match a dignified retreat, but now they have become so disgraceful.

"Libra, you have lost." Wang Guangming looked down at the terrified Hayami Kohei on the ground, the tone mixed with regret.

"Lord Wang Guangming, I have learned some very important news; please wait a moment."

Hayami Kohei stumbled up from the ground, the body having suffered severe strain from the defeat; it now had virtually no strength, the body already at its limit.

The hands supported the knees, sweat pouring like rain; the lungs heaved like a bellows, trembling slightly, each breath feeling like a sharp small knife stabbing the throat, as if a frail person were forced to run a kilometer—nothing short of torture.

Possibly due to cosmic energy, each defeat causes the body to endure pain.

After a brief rest, Hayami Kohei finally managed to climb up from the floor, took a deep breath, and spoke to Lord Wang Guangming with a firm tone: "Lord Wang Guangming, a traitor has appeared among us, secretly aiding fourze, which has continually blocked our great dream; therefore I implore you to believe what I am about to say."

After hearing this, Wang Guangming leaned lightly against the chair behind the sofa: "Libra, I want to hear who exactly the traitor you speak of is; if you truly expose the traitor among us, you will become my most capable aide."

Wang Guangming's saying this indeed has a basis; it is not that Wang Guangming wants to believe Libra's words, but regarding the traitor matter, Wang Guangming indeed has some speculation, and the appearance of fourze is the best proof.

Wang Guangming personally witnessed the singer Green Lang die in an explosion, but the astronomical switch Wang Guangming invented is like a ghost returned from death, constantly entangling Wang Guangming.

"Virgo is that traitor, the one who has been aiding fourze; Virgo disguised himself as Scorpio when I tried to promote the Unicorn Star Warrior's Evolution, blocking me and attempting to send me to the Dark Nebula." Hayami Kohei stated this with absolute certainty, staring straight at Virgo.

"Virgo?" Wang Guangming chuckled, following Hayami Kohei's gaze to look at Virgo.

Lies of this sort are sometimes impossible to see through, but sometimes they are extraordinarily obvious; Wang Guangming can tell whether Libra is being sincere or lying at the moment.

"Lord Wang Guangming, we are fellow travelers." Virgo offered no further explanation, simply standing here calmly.

Although Virgo has done many secret things behind the scenes, this incident is truly not Virgo's doing; however, from now on we must be more careful, especially regarding Libra.

"Libra, what is your evidence?" Wang Guangming asked.

Wang Guangming already had a definite answer in mind, but Wang Guangming was curious as to why Libra would label Virgo a traitor, given that in all their years of working together they had never clashed.

"I saw Virgo emitting constellation light, just like the Sagittarius on your body, Lord." Hayami Kohei took out the Constellation Switch in his hand and activated a supernova.

Upon hearing Hayami Kohei's words, Wang Guangming rose from the sofa, gazing at Libra, a hint of joy flashing in Wang Guangming's crimson eyes.

Wang Guangming realized that Wang Guangming's lifelong aspiration was now racing at breakneck speed down the road, and as long as Wang Guangming gripped the reins tightly Wang Guangming could reach the final destination.

"Libra, I never expected your supernova to be Laplace's Eye." "Then, do you believe what I say?"

Libra wanted to confirm, and upon seeing Wang Guangming's joyful expression, Libra's heart also could not help but surge with delight and excitement, finally having obtained the Lord's recognition.

"Hmm, I believe you truly can see the constellation's light, so from now on the task of seeking the Twelve Constellations will be entrusted to you; make good use of this power to serve me well."

Wang Guangming patted Libra's shoulder; this light gesture alone made Libra unable to hold back tears.

Laplace's Eye can see through everyone's constellation fate; from now on, every Star Disciple we seek will be a future member of the Twelve Constellations, and we no longer need to give the Constellation Switch to those students lacking potential.

"Virgo is not the traitor; the one who attacked you is another of our companions; your task now is to use Laplace's Eye to find him, and Scorpio will assist you." Wang Guangming said.

Wang Guangming had already guessed the other Scorpio's ability; the Scorpio Switch is still in Wang Guangming's hand, and now a Virgo has appeared as well—this is certainly no coincidence or betrayal among them, but rather the power to replicate cosmic celestial bodies.

Perhaps there is indeed someone among the Twelve Constellations who, like a mirror's reflection, can replicate the corresponding abilities of the twelve palaces; this ability is terribly frightening, yet also extremely precious.

If possible, we should still try to find it as soon as possible; anyone facing this replicative ability would feel fear and apprehension, and moreover, the Scorpio it uses is stronger than the original, which is truly what makes it frightening.

"I understand, Lord Wang Guangming." Libra lowered Libra's head, but prior to that Libra still glanced at Virgo without a change in expression.

"I will definitely prove that you are the traitor," Libra thought.

"From now on we must be more careful; we must quickly notify the person aiding fourze, for the plan is to begin ahead of schedule," Virgo thought silently.

For now, all of their goals are temporarily united: they all want to uncover that person's true identity.

Libra and Virgo exchanged a glance, then each averted their gaze.

"Virgo, fourze is entrusted to you; before the Twelve Constellations gather, you must definitely deal with them, for they are too lively." Wang Guangming said.

"Yes, Lord Wang Guangming."

Virgo raised the staff; the gem at its top flashed quickly, and a cherry-red Spatial Portal opened rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Outer space, a white-blue space station.

"Meteor, it's time to come to the Heavenly River; the Aries Star Disciple will be born soon. Just find it and you'll be able to awaken your friend from the coma."

A person wearing a blue special astronaut suit and a metal helmet hovered in the space station; the silvery-white space was filled with various high-tech equipment, with a control panel before the person, and pale blue energy continuously gathered from the depths of the universe, concentrating in the space station.

On the control panel's screen appeared a high school student wearing a yellow-brown uniform, with medium-length hair; upon hearing that strange person's words, the student exclaimed excitedly: "All right, Mr. Tachibana, I will immediately go handle the exchange student procedures."

Ever since Meteor's friend fell into a coma after pressing the Star Disciple Switch, Meteor has been waiting for this opportunity.

"Wait for me, Erlang; I will definitely save you," said the high school student called Meteor, face showing determination.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, dear readers (＞ｙ＜) (End of chapter)
