In the area at the junction of the Star Alliance's C sector and the A sector, there is a heavily guarded planet surrounded by five satellite planets.
At this moment, Xilin is on one of these five satellite planets.
According to the ephemeris, more than twenty days have passed since the "Dream Tapir" incident.
More than 20 days ago, Xilin took out the complete antibodies, and the military people took care of the follow-up to the "miracle". After the incident, Xilin was brought here.
The members of Team 11 had left Planet J-C335 before that. No one knew where they went, whether they were from the military or the vanguard. The members of Team 11 seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Although the Star Alliance is very large, now that the eight legions and some big family forces have sent people to investigate, there is still no news about Team 11. This makes people who originally had some ideas uneasy.
Originally, these people thought that by imprisoning Xilin, they would be able to control Team 11, but they did not expect that such a situation would happen.
However, what surprised many people was that Xilin, who was imprisoned on this satellite planet waiting for the final trial, was unusually calm. For more than twenty days, he has been doing the same thing every day, eating and sleeping, getting up and reading, and going back to sleep when he is tired from reading. Of course, many times he cannot sleep peacefully because people will come to look for him from time to time. conversation.
Now Xilin has not been convicted. Before the final trial, Xilin was not considered a criminal. Therefore, compared to those convicted prisoners, Xilin was a little free, but only a little.
Similar to Ci Jincheng¡¯s small base, this planet is covered by a huge protective shield. There is an internal life support system required to maintain life activities. The primitive conditions of this planet are simply not suitable for human habitation under normal circumstances. Of course, this is also a protection to better prevent those imprisoned here from escaping.
There is a place in this small room that is surrounded by a transparent partition wall, and the ceiling is also transparent. From here, you can see the starry sky outside, and the patrol fleet that passes by from time to time.
Among the five satellite planets, the people on Xilin's planet are all imprisoned waiting for judgment. He may be found guilty or not guilty in the end, and everything will have to wait until the final trial to decide.
The place of final judgment is the planet orbited by these satellite planets. Even here, Xilin could see a golden circular building on the big planet, which was the location of the trial.
If you are found not guilty in the trial, you can leave here. Otherwise, you will be imprisoned in prisons on the other four satellite planets.
Since the prison in S-sector was abolished. The decision-makers of the Covenant decided to build prisons on these four satellite planets, and those who could be imprisoned here. They are all very special prisoners. Some are similar to Si Fang back then, and some are extremely guilty but cannot be directly sentenced to death for the time being. In short, the people here are all famous figures in the past.
A person who came here yesterday to ask questions said to Xilin that your life is worth being locked up there.
Is it worth it?
Xilin looked at the other four satellite planets. They looked cold and devoid of any popularity.
Since Xilin was imprisoned here. Every day, people come to talk to Xilin, using threats, inducements, etc. However, because there are some people behind Xilin supporting him, the people who come are quite polite to Xilin, at least they do not use force.
Those who came to talk included people from the eight legions, as well as people from the political circles. The purpose is nothing more than one - shortcut channel technology.
Xilin doesn¡¯t know who said this. The current situation is that decision-makers from all parties know about it. This is why those people are waiting for Xilin to be involved in the Besol incident.
People who came over during this period told Xilin that if the channel technology was handed over. He would be given a lighter sentence and even promised many benefits, but Xilin never let go. There have been so many people coming in the past two days because they couldn't find Team 11. They thought that Xilin was planning to break the pot. The people from Team 11 must have left for the other side of the passage and were not within the Star Alliance. Don't plan to come back either. Aren't you seeking death when you come back?
Xilin estimates that the day of judgment is coming.
The main reason why the date of trial has not been decided is that those people misjudged the complexity of this matter. I originally thought that by tying Xilin to the Bethel matter and then asking Xilin to hand over the channel technology, he would be less careful during the public trial and receive a lighter sentence. However, as Xilin was imprisoned here, more and more people submitted applications to participate in the public trial, and things developed beyond those people's expectations.
¡°Moreover, these people who were submitted to participate in the public trial were not originally on Xilin¡¯s side, but when Xilin was arrested,A few days after the opportunity came, some people began to change their minds and positions. This made those decision-makers very troubled. As a result, the involvement grew bigger and bigger. The final trial involved more and more participants, became more and more complicated, and the waiting time became longer and longer. Until now, no date has been set for the public trial.
Public participation in the trial sounds nice, but in fact the so-called "public" participating in the trial are also important figures in the Star Alliance. Their power and personal influence can shake up one party, and they are also officially recognized local power leaders. , these people will cooperate with the high-level decision-makers of the Star Alliance to maintain the stability and order of the Star Alliance.
After every chaos, there will be an alternation between the old and the new.
For example, Aicenses was far from qualified before. The person who represented the V-sector in public trials and jurisdiction was another colonist in the V-sector. However, this colonist was involved in the Covenant turmoil this time. was stepped on. Aicenses seized the opportunity to develop the Free Army into the largest and most formal force group in the V sector. Moreover, in the "Dream Tapir" incident, the Free Army was the first group to receive treatment in the V sector. The Free Army, which has a great influence in the V sector, has a higher voice in the sector.
Although the big bosses don't think highly of the Free Army for such a force, and they don't like to see these madmen in the V-sector, they have to admit that if such a large-scale force does not negotiate well at this time, there will be disasters in the future. A lot of trouble.
So. As the leader of the Free Army, Aicenses also received an invitation from the decision-makers, which means that after the chaos, he hopes to cooperate in re-establishing order and maintaining the stability of the Star Alliance. The people in the V-sector are the least worried. If they can have a person like Aicense to restrain, maintain, and concentrate the firepower, the decision-makers will also be happy to give him an invitation.
Aikenseth also submitted an application to participate in the review when he accepted the invitation, but since Aikensus is the only one, such a vote should not have much influence and will not change the result. Even if the decision-makers are unhappy, they just know that the outcome will not change and don't take it to heart. However, not long after, when the three leaders of the three major forces in the S-sector received invitations from the decision-makers to maintain order, they agreed to cooperate with the Covenant government and the Legion to maintain order in the Covenant, on the condition that they participate in the public trial.
Those who receive the invitation letter from the decision-maker do have the right to participate in the review, but they also have the right to choose whether to participate or not. Many times, it doesn¡¯t involve yourself. None of these people would participate in such a secretly complicated trial that had nothing to do with them. This time, to the surprise of the decision-makers, the captain of a newly formed unit of a hunter group would actually involve so many people, and many of them were the ones the decision-makers planned to win over.
¡°For this reason, the decision-makers conducted an in-depth investigation into Xilin. The deeper the investigation, the more they found that Xilin was not a simple person. Now the decision-makers regret dragging Xilin into the Besol incident. Of course, I only regret "somewhat", not absolutely. After all, channel technology makes them even more coveted.
Xilin looked at the starry sky outside. There were several spaceports in the space between the five planets and the central planet they revolved around. And now there was a starship landing at the spaceport closest to Xilin's planet. It didn't take long for an aircraft to fly here from the space port.
Xilin has seen this situation many times. Every time he sees this situation, someone will come over and "talk" to Xilin soon, asking Xilin to hand over the channel technology.
Who is it this time?
The answer will be revealed soon.
"I'm still thinking about it. You should have appeared too." Xilin put down the book in his hand and looked at the person.
Yu Linglong walked into this small room, which was not very big, and looked at the person sitting calmly on the chair with a complicated expression. Yu Linglong originally thought that since Xilin had channel technology, he would definitely leave the Star Alliance with the members of Team 11 when he knew something was wrong. Unexpectedly, Xilin came here very cooperatively.
She knew that Xilin would not give in so easily, and would definitely have a back-up plan, as evidenced by the increasing number of applications for participation in the review these days. Some of them are people who are familiar with Xilin, such as Anjinia and so on. The other part of the people who submitted the applications included people from the political circles and the military. They were all people who had intervened in "Miracle" or had some secret forbidden incidents secretly.
There are many people involved in "Miracle", but many people wiped away the stain when "Miracle" happened. However, what Yu Linglong didn't expect was that Xilin would actually have those evidences and these handles, and then force him to do so. Make those people change their minds.
Xilin relied on these handles to get those people to apply for trial. The people in Team 11 did leave the Star Alliance, but Xiying and Mengchiaro stayed. They removed the stain that some people thought had been erased long ago. Just showed it to those people again.??
In the past few years, Xilin has been a hunter. In addition to going out on missions, he has never stopped collecting information. For example, at the "miracle" base where Xueqiu and Chifeng were captured for experiments, Xilin got an Olilo there. There are star map fragments and a chip. That chip records many things, even some secret transactions. Xilin has been making supplements based on the information in it, and now, they are used.
"What on earth do you think? In other words, what do you want to do?" Yu Linglong asked with a frown. Perhaps because she was used to it in the Yu family, she unconsciously had a questioning tone when she said this. But soon Yu Linglong realized that this way of speaking was not very good. After adjusting it, she said: "I know you have many people's handles, but those old foxes will not let you keep holding on to the handles. Now It's just because it's so sudden that they don't have time to respond, so you will seize the opportunity. When the incident calms down, the situation will not be good for you."
Xilin didn¡¯t speak. Yu Linglong seemed a little irritable. After waiting for a while, Xilin didn¡¯t say anything, and then continued. "As far as I know, regardless of whether it's sincere or forced, you do have a lot of supporters now, but you still don't have more than half If nothing else happens, the final trial will be in three days."
Among the current interrogators, those who support Xilin found by Yu Linglong are barely close to half of them. There are new supporters every day, including some well-known people from the Star Alliance. Even if they are not qualified to participate in the interrogation, they will still use it. relation. For example, the food king Hala, the master Jiuxun in the pharmaceutical field, and the former congressman Sombert.
Another example is the hunter side. Now Ji Feng is busy teaming up with Blue Butterfly to deal with Yu Shengtian and has no time to come over in person. However, Ji Feng, Blue Butterfly, and Prisa, these three star hunters are all there. There was some effort involved in this matter. Some of the people who later submitted applications for review did so because of their connections.
Although none of the eight marshals have expressed their attitude now, some people in the eight legions have already begun to clearly express their support for Xilin. The leader is Mo Qing. There are also some people under the instruction of Suminari, Knight, and Pride. Although they have been imprisoned by their families and their current abilities are limited, it is enough. At least not all of the eight legions are on the side. On the opposite side.
However, Yu Linglong felt uncertain whether the number of people supporting it would reach half in three days.
"My grandfather and father will not participate in the trial this time. I will be the one participating in the trial of the Yu family. And my two cousins. This can be considered a test for grandpa. I will help you."
If you stand on the wrong team, you will definitely be criticized in the subsequent succession competition. Yu Linglong's two cousins ??were on the other side, but only Yu Linglong chose to side with Xilin. Many people under Yu Linglong opposed her decision, which shows that Yu Linglong was still under a lot of pressure.
"Xilin, if you bring out the shortcut channel technology, you will definitely get more than half of the support." In Yu Linglong's view, Xilin has no ability to keep this technology now. Instead of doing this, it is better to use it to make deals with decision-makers and gain some benefits. . And avoid more jail time.
"I won't talk about the channel, at least not now. I won't use channel technology in exchange for trial support. However, thank you for your help. I'll give you something." Xilin smiled and took out something and handed it over. In the hands of Yu Linglong.
It was the ruby ??found on the transport ship of the massacred Doans family.
Seeing this broken gem, Yu Linglong's pupils shrank.
"Xueyang"
The ruby ??in the palm of her hand reflects the strange red light of blood, and Yu Linglong's mood at this moment can no longer be described as complicated.
"Xue Yang" is a very precious ruby, and the owner of this ruby ??is Yu Linglong's second cousin Yu Xing. However, Yu Linglong had only seen "Blood Yang" once. At that time, "Blood Yang" had not been cut into jewelry. Later, the jade shop set the cut "Blood Yang" on a ring and gave it to his mistress Padrola.
Xilin also found Padrola later when he was searching for Yuxing, and found a photo of her and Yuxing. In the photo, the ring on Padrola's hand was this ruby.
Padrola, this woman, seems to be just a person who relies on appearance to get to the top, but in fact, this woman is very extraordinary, and she is also one of the right-hand men of the jade industry. Yu Linglong has already had several of her subordinates who went to investigate her, but there has been no news. .
"Where did you find this?" Yu Linglong remembered that the earliest information she obtained said that Padrola liked "Blood Yang" very much and always carried it with him, never leaving it.
Xilin explained the situation that time, "It's not just this. After you go back, you will receive some information about the massacre."
Jade LinglongHe nodded and put away the broken gem. According to Xilin, the massacre might have been ordered by Yu Xing. Yu Linglong had also suspected it before, but no evidence was found at that time.
If there is enough evidence, the Daoance family will definitely stand against Yuxing. Maybe, Xilin will get another supporter, and as long as Yu Linglong arranges things well, the Daoance family will also become her competition with Yuxing. an added boost.
There are no monitors here, and even if there were, they would have been removed. After all, no one who came to talk to Xilin wanted the contents of the conversation to be spread.
Xilin watched Yu Linglong¡¯s aircraft leave outside, thinking about the news that Yu Linglong had brought to him. The trial will be held in three days. Although the notice has not yet arrived, it is definitely true.
Three days should be enough.
Yu Linglong¡¯s analysis was not completely correct. Xilin asked Xiying to come up with the evidence of those who had had many large-scale prohibited transactions with ¡°Miracle¡± and drag so many people into it. One is to get more support, and the other is to delay time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xilin discovered that a new starship had docked at the space port over there. It was also a military ship. Those who could use this kind of starship had a high status in the military. Afterwards, an aircraft came here from the port.
Which big shot in the military is it?
Xilin thought about it, and when he looked up, he found another medium-sized aircraft passing by the space port. Compared with the previous military ship, this aircraft is too simple and ordinary, but because of the appearance of this aircraft, the defense at the port seems to have suddenly become tighter, and the patrol fleets have gathered here to guard against it. It seems that even standing here, Xilin can feel the tension of those in the patrol fleet.
The aircraft stopped at the port for a while and then flew over here. It should have been conducting a routine inspection at the port just now.
At the landing site not far from where Xilin was imprisoned. The aircraft with military insignia landed and the hatch opened. A man walked out from inside. This man looked to be only middle-aged, but the military rank and a special symbol on the military uniform he was wearing were enough to make some people tremble.
The person in charge of this place quickly walked over and gave a military salute. The man seemed kind, or rather, he gave people a feeling of being elegant and approachable.
The two of them were talking as they walked towards where Xilin was being held. But after taking only two steps, the man looked up. An aircraft is flying here, preparing to land.
After the ordinary-looking aircraft landed, the hatch opened and two people walked out side by side. There is a man and a woman. The man cannot tell his age, his appearance is not outstanding, and he is not ugly either. The attire is very casual, but this seemingly unremarkable person makes everyone who approaches him feel an inexplicable sense of timidity that suddenly arises from the bottom of their hearts.
The woman walking next to him was wearing a training uniform of the style favored by mercenaries and hunters. Frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, he walked and talked to the people around him.
When the person in charge accompanying the officer saw the two people, he felt as if there was a gun to his forehead. The man was a big trouble, and the woman when he saw her for the first time, As if he had seen a ghost, the person in charge stared for a long time before suddenly remembering something and looking cautiously at the officer beside him.
Sure enough, the officer next to him also had a blank look in his eyes.
"Hey, girl, people are looking at you, why don't you go and say hello?" Sihuang smiled and looked at Pian Huo, who appeared in public for the first time in his original appearance.
Pian Huo paused and said, "How can I say hello to someone I don't know?"
Sihuang raised his hand and rubbed Pianhuo's head, messing up the little girl's hair that she had spent a long time taking care of. Before she got angry, Sihuang said, "Go over and find Xilin. I'll stop this one."
"good."
Pian Huo didn¡¯t say much, and went directly to the passage that closed Xilin. He quickly entered the passage and disappeared.
After watching Pian Huo enter, Si Huang walked to the side, took out a cigarette, and slowly smoked against a pillar there.
The person in charge twitched his eyes. Generally speaking, smoking is not allowed here, but that is "generally" speaking. As for this person, forget it. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
Wei Ting watched the figure that was very similar to his memory disappear at the other end of the passage before looking away.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Especially the arc of the eyebrows when looking at people sideways, just like Si Fang back then.
What was it like when you first met Si Fang? Wei Ting thought back. It may not be easy to remember such a person just by looking at her appearance. Standing among a group of female soldiers, she is not the most beautiful, and her height is not conspicuous, but after that, she can clearly remember someone.Such a person, clearly remember what that person looks like. Wearing his training uniform, he casually held a handful of microflush, and his every move and smile showed an air of flamboyance and ease that made people feel heartbroken. Then such a person always appears in my mind, and the afterimage lingers, lingering, and I don't know when it has been engraved deep in my heart.
It¡¯s just that it¡¯s no longer there.
Wei Ting waved his hand to indicate that the person in charge did not need to accompany him, and walked straight towards Si Huang.
"Although Xiao Fang's last words were to let her choose freely, if that girl also chooses to join the army I will break her legs!" Si Huang raised his eyes and looked at the entrance of the passage, his tone was calm and firm. , with irrefutable momentum, but did not look at Wei Ting who came over, and did not give her a single look, "But the good thing is, she hasn't let me down yet. Being a hunter is better than joining the army and following her mother's path."
"She wants to be a hunter?"
"That's right," Sihuang smiled as if he thought of something interesting, and pointed to the place where Xilin was imprisoned, "Her future captain is imprisoned there."
