Chapter 367

~9 min read 1,788 words

In the cold and dead space, several starships were split in two by unknown forces.

Countless corpses of terrified crew members floated slowly among the stars, as if they had seen something extremely terrible.

At this moment, Li Ang stood with his hands behind his back in front of the only remaining starship, feeling a bit speechless for a moment.

He had already figured out what happened just now; it wasn't "touching porcelain", but a group of star bandits robbing the road with premeditation.

It was a pity that this group of star bandits overestimated themselves and underestimated 【Earth Devourer】, and the starship used to intercept the target was directly hit into space junk.

It was just that Li Ang had a high sense of responsibility; if it were someone else in such a federal edge area, they would have fled after the accident long ago.

Of course, this group of star bandits might be wishing he had done so right now.

Through the Tenseigan, Li Ang could clearly see the bald man with a flattering smile in the starship, and the plain-looking man beside him who was wandering outside the world.

Since the relevant information about the Kells Star Cluster was searched by him through the network, he only understood some background information, which was somewhat like looking at flowers in the fog.

Now that there were locals who took the initiative to send themselves to the door, Li Ang naturally couldn't directly kill the other party.

However, considering that not all creatures could be as active in space as he was, Li Ang immediately pulled the starship in front of him and flew toward 【Earth Devourer】.

Seeing this, all the personnel in the starship, including the bald man, breathed a sigh of relief; they knew that they should have survived for the time being.

And the plain-looking man was looking at the back of the man who was leaking blue-red energy in the display with a daze, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.

Soon, 【Earth Devourer】 completed the reception of this starship; a living battleship is much more convenient in this regard than ordinary metal structures.

Then the remaining star bandits raised their hands high and walked off the starship, coming to the inside of 【Earth Devourer】.

Looking at the maids walking up to control their group of people, the bald man subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

In his perception, none of these maids were below the second level, and many were even third-level existences.

Even if they couldn't be counted as particularly strong, that was still the third level!

Without a doubt, they had kicked a steel plate this time.

However, since the other party didn't kill them, it meant that their group should still have some utilization value.

Just as the bald man was thinking this, he suddenly found that his body was uncontrollably flying toward the front.

He was instantly terrified: "Spare me, Lord!"

Before the bald man could finish speaking, a fair palm pinched his head tightly like an iron hoop.

Ignoring the pleading look in the bald man's eyes, Li Ang said calmly: "Sooner or later, you have to pay back for mixing in the world, you should have been prepared for this long ago, right?"

Although he needed a local to understand the Kells Star Cluster in detail, it didn't mean that the other party would have a good end.

After speaking, without waiting for the bald man to react, Li Ang began to use the Rinnegan to read his memory, but this time he didn't get the information he wanted.

To be precise, as soon as he started reading the memory, the bald man's brain turned into a paste.

The kind in the literal sense.

Looking at the bald man whose facial features were constantly dripping with red and white liquid, Li Ang couldn't help but frown slightly.

It was a contract, but he didn't know whether it came from the Federation or the Empire.

Seeing this, a maid stepped forward and dragged away the bald man's corpse, while another maid wiped the slightly blood-stained right hand for Li Ang.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the field.

"Were you reading his memory just now?"

It was the plain-looking man; seeing Li Ang look at himself, he continued: "His profession was the third-level 【Storm Commander】 exchanged in the Empire, so if someone tries to read his memory, the contract signed when purchasing the profession will destroy his brain."

"If you have anything you want to know, you can tell me directly."

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Li Ang's eyes; this was not much different from his guess.

The "soul searching" ability of the Rinnegan wasn't a high-level item, so it was normal that it couldn't break through the Empire's contract to forcibly read the memory.

Thinking of this, he stared at the plain-looking man with a sincere expression, and said noncommittally: "You have quite a lot of guts, aren't you afraid that I will read your memory?"

This person is weird.

As early as the first time he saw the plain-looking man, Li Ang had reached this conclusion.

After all, unlike the rest of the star bandits who were almost scared to faint, the other party didn't show a trace of fear from the beginning, as if he didn't care about his own safety at all.

This could naturally be explained as being big-hearted, but in the background of the main world, Li Ang felt that no matter how cautious one was, it wouldn't be too much.

However, under the observation of the Tenseigan, the other party was indeed just a third-level professional.

Hearing Li Ang's words, the plain-looking man shrugged his shoulders: "I think you shouldn't do this again in an uncertain situation."

"Heh."

A laugh without clear meaning escaped Li Ang's mouth, and then he casually sucked over a star bandit and began to read his memory.

He had no intention of showing mercy to these star bandits who tried to rob him.

Death, death, death...

Soon, only the plain-looking man remained at the scene.

'Strange...'

Li Ang glanced at the star bandit corpse beside him, and a hint of doubt couldn't help but surge in his heart.

According to reason, this situation shouldn't have occurred; after all, it was impossible for all star bandits' professions to be obtained through purchase; there would be some who transferred professions autonomously.

Unless...

Just when Li Ang had a guess about this, the plain-looking man spoke: "It seems you guessed it too? They have some relationship with the Empire."

"But you don't have to worry, this relationship only limits them from plundering the Empire's territory."

Speaking of this, he smacked his lips: "Speaking of which, the personnel on this starship are core personnel, so they have more or less some connection with the Empire. If you had left other starships earlier, you could have read the memory."

The plain-looking man was still in that unhurried attitude, even though he had just witnessed the loss of life of all his companions.

This explanation also verified Li Ang's conjecture.

After such an abnormal thing happened, he realized that this group of star bandits couldn't be separated from the Empire.

It was just that the discipline and combat effectiveness of this group of star bandits weren't very good, otherwise Li Ang would have thought whether the Imperial Army had disguised themselves as star bandits to harass the Federation territory.

Looking at the plain-looking man who was looking around, Li Ang asked coldly: "What about you? Are you the same as them?"

"Me?" The plain-looking man scratched his head, "I joined the group two days ago, and just now was my first official job."

"As a result..."

As a result, I ran into a "star of evil" like you.

He didn't say this sentence, but continued: "As for identity, I could barely be considered an Imperial person before."

Hearing this sentence, a somewhat playful look appeared on Li Ang's face: "Then do you know who I am?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the plain-looking man was stunned, and then began to carefully observe Li Ang's appearance.

It was a pity that after a long while, he didn't find a similar face in his memory, so he could only shake his head: "Don't know."

Could it be a big star who has appeared in the central star region of the Federation in recent years?

Just as he was thinking this, Li Ang said leisurely: "I am the planet's Viceroy of the Federation."

"?"

The plain-looking man's expression instantly became stiff.

That's not right, how could things develop like this?

After a brief silence, he asked cautiously: "Did you commit some crime, so you chose to head to the Seat of Chaos?"

"I am a law-abiding citizen."

Looking at the somewhat dazed plain-looking man, Li Ang revealed a satisfied smile.

After he revealed his identity, the other party was finally no longer in that disgusting appearance of having everything under control.

"So for the next things, you can go tell the Federal Army."

Although he didn't know what the situation of the plain-looking man was, Li Ang wasn't prepared to continue taking him with him; after all, it wasn't only the other party who knew about the Kells Star Cluster.

Li Ang prepared to throw this guy to the Federal Army when leaving the country.

Hearing this, the plain-looking man was anxious: "Don't, you must not do this!"

"Actually, I am an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and I can't expose my identity during the mission, so you must not hand me over to the Federal Army."

It was a pity that Li Ang couldn't believe him so easily: "Evidence?"

"... one."

The plain-looking man lowered his head very frustratedly; how could he carry something that could prove his identity during the mission.

Seeing this, Li Ang's gaze flickered slightly.

Through the information revealed by the other party just now, he had roughly guessed what his mission was.

Spy.

The other party obviously intended to use the star bandits just now as a springboard to enter the Empire, but unfortunately, the plan had just started when he ran into him.

As for why the other party was willing to tell him his identity, but was unwilling to be handed over to the Federal Army...

There was still some difference between one person knowing and a group of people knowing.

Of course, these were all based on the premise that the other party was really an FBI agent, and just these weren't enough to explain why he had performed without fear of death earlier.

However, these were not important to Li Ang.
