Everything happens in an instant.

How fast is light?

— 30 kilometers per second.

How far is the distance between Rong Yuan and the girl?

— less than thirty centimeters.

A beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun in the girl's hand. When the beam exited the chamber, the girl's arm was blown to pieces, exposing the broken parts and burnt wires inside.Several flying metal fragments pierced the girl's body, bleeding profusely, but she didn't seem to feel any pain, she just stared at Rong Yuan.

The light beam penetrated Rong Yuan without any accident.

However, the girl was surprised to see that there was no surprise, fear, resentment or anger in those eyes that were always staring at her, but only a touch of compassion and tolerance.

Those eyes seemed to say, "It's not your fault, I forgive you."

The girl was taken aback, and opened her mouth to say something.

However, the next moment, the cage made of light suddenly shrank inward, and the white light was dazzling, as if there was a little sun there!In an instant, the white light shrank and disappeared, and a round and flawless spherical black hole suddenly unfolded, and when it spread to half a person's height, it suddenly disappeared.Only a curved shallow pit was left on the ground, and the girl and Rong Yuan disappeared.

The whole process took only two or three seconds.

A gust of wind suddenly blew from all directions, blowing up a small whirlpool of wind, which disappeared after walking on the ground for a while.

"Bone Lu Lu Lu..."

A cloud fruit that somehow escaped the strangulation of light and the engulfment of the black hole rolled several times on the ground under the gust of wind, and rolled to the feet of a passerby.

He raised his foot, crushed the cloud fruit, pulled out a small button-shaped object from his collar, and said to his mouth: "The target has been strangled, please instruct!...Yes...Understood!"

He raised his eyes, nodded at the others, and made a gesture.Most of them turned around and left immediately. A few vendors took out a square box from under the booth, stirred the contents, and then carefully filled up the shallow pit on the ground, as well as the net left on the ground when the cage of light shrank. burn marks.In less than a minute, there was no trace of an ambush on the spot.A few people quickly gathered everything up and left, without even making eye contact from beginning to end.

If someone can look down on Bai Qixing from above, they can find that there are seven main roads and 24 branch roads around the landing point of Rongyuan's spacecraft. On all the roads - in no particular order - there are many vendors and passers-by hiding. And they left quickly, within 3 minutes before and after, all these people disappeared from people's sight and monitoring, and they disappeared.

Not only that, the same scene also happened near Bai Qixing's other three space ports.Thousands of people appeared in Bai Qixing silently, and then disappeared in a way that did not attract anyone's attention, as if water vapor melted into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

..........................................................................................

Ze Ruo put away his cloak, picked a clean branch and sat down. There was a sea of ​​clouds in front of him. The tumbling clouds covered the scenery of the city below, and also blocked the eyes that might be peeping at him.There was an empty sky above his head, and the blazing sun covered the stars on the sky. The thin air made people smell like drunk. He took a deep breath, lay down with his hands on his pillow, and felt a rare freedom and relaxation.

He didn't know who the sacred man was, and he didn't know what he did to make the organization kill him, and he didn't know what kind of terrifying ability he had that made them supernatural and omnipotent. Organizations are facing an enemy.He only knew that in order to successfully approach the target, their people planned an air crash on all the routes in this area, and then sent out distress signals continuously and waited for the rabbit.After he was rescued by the target spaceship, other escape pods were also rescued by the spaceship arranged by the organization one after another.But there are also three or five escape pods. Either they deviated from the route and could not determine the coordinates like them, or they were involved in some kind of cosmic disaster, and finally disappeared completely without waiting for rescue.

Zeruo didn't get an order to participate in Bai Qixing's actions, and the organization strictly forbids them to talk about it no matter when they are getting along in private or on the star network.But Zeruo and the others have their own way of communicating secretly, and he has always been convinced by his partners. Afterwards, several people passed on the news to him. After piecing together, he knew the general process. .

Although I couldn't see it in person, but just by imagining it, I could get a glimpse of how fast and terrifying the flashy action was.

This is a lore.

Ze Ruo was sure that no one could survive such a design.

The organization arranged for this sniper to kill, it could only be that during the period after he left the message on the star network and before the spaceship arrived at Bai Qi Star, there were only three and a half days in total, and the organization not only sent thousands of people to Bai Qixing arranged for them legal identities and reasonable reasons for appearing in this place. He also inspected the entire geographical and cultural environment of Bai Qixing, set traps at all nodes, and urgently transported a large number of people with such amazing lethality. Prohibited weapons.Then after everything was over, all traces were wiped away.

What kind of terrifying energy is this?

Ze Ruo confirmed once again that there is no reason for those targeted by the organization.The awe of the organization in his heart has deepened a lot.

Fortunately, however, Zeruo saw the light this time, and he was able to turn from light to darkness, and continued to live in the Landia Empire as "Zeruo" from now on.Although there are still tasks waiting for him, but... Who wants to be a "ghost" when he can be a human being?

..........................................................................................

The spaceship from Bai Qixing to Imperial Capital does not come every day, and the nearest one takes three days to leave. Mu Xiaohu was lucky enough to grab the last ticket, and seeing that the money in his hand is actually quite rich, happy I have to walk and jump around.

But considering that he had to pay off his debts, he would have to buy a boat ticket to the First Military Academy after he arrived at the Imperial Capital, and he didn't know how much he would need to spend on the way, so he didn't dare to squander the money.Mu Xiaohu decided that these nights he would just find a thicker cloud to lie down on. Anyway, lying on the cloud here is like sleeping on cotton. It is so comfortable that people don't want to get up again. get wet orz...

As for the food - Mu Xiaohu treasured the package of food given to him by the fat owner of the cake shop and divided it into three-day portions.Because he was very hungry before, he had already eaten half of the bread and biscuits in one go, and the remaining half had to survive these three days no matter what.But this is already much better than before. A few days ago, he drank a little water when he couldn't help it, and didn't dare to eat anything else...

Mu Xiaohu paused for counting the number of biscuits with his fingers, frowned in confusion, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

He squatted on the ground and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "Ah, I remembered! How does he know that I haven't eaten for a few days?"

Mu Xiaohu thought of that very generous and generous guest. When they spoke, their tone was too casual, so Mu Xiaohu didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. In retrospect, he discovered this problem.

Although his stomach growled very loudly at that time, but...ordinary people, it should just be that he missed one or two meals on time, right?The order of magnitude suddenly jumped to the unit of days, is this what someone who knows the inside story would do?

And there was only one person who knew that he hadn't eaten for several days and had never masked his face.

He clenched his left fist and slammed the palm of his right hand, and said to himself, "It turns out that the elder brother is the savior! He saved me and let me pay on credit. Plus this time, he has helped me three times! Finally met I should thank you face to face!"

He raised his head, looked around, and muttered, "Brother benefactor is going in this direction, right?"

Mu Xiaohu ran in the direction that Rong Yuan left, and searched back and forth several times on the forked roads, but he didn't see anyone. He had to admit that Rong Yuan might have arrived when he bought the ticket - recalled - looking for the way I went elsewhere, and walked back dejectedly.

Then he saw the gray-black thing on the ground.

He sniffed and caught a familiar scent.

"This is..." Mu Xiaohu knelt down, picked up a few small pieces and twisted them between his fingers. Although they had been crushed and covered with dirt, he still recognized the original shape of this thing: "... Yunguo?"

Mu Xiaohu remembered the bag of gifts that Rong Yuan was holding when he left the cake shop.

In fact, Yunguo is not a rare snack in Bai Qixing, but I don't know why, maybe because Mu Xiaohu has been thinking about Rong Yuan for a long time, he intuitively felt that these fragments were related to Rong Yuan.And... that person doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would throw food on the ground and step on it.

Rationally, he knew that it might be a fruit dropped by someone else, it might be one that Rong Yuan accidentally dropped when he took it from the bag, maybe he gave that bag of cloud fruit to someone else...a dessert appeared on the ground And there are many reasonable possibilities for being crushed, and there is not necessarily any problem.

But Mu Xiaohu felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety in his heart. He couldn't tell what he was suspicious of at this moment, but he couldn't help but look around, carefully sifting out everything he saw.

Suddenly, he fixed his gaze, then squatted down in another place, tilted his head to look for a while, then suddenly knelt down again, with his face almost touching the ground, and his fingers brushed gently and delicately across the ground, as if he was stroking the baby's delicate skin. skin.

— not right.

he thought.

On the surface, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the ground, but when he just squatted down and looked over from the side, the reflected light stung his eyes for a moment.Then he realized that different places on the ground absorb and refract light a little differently, and it seems to form some kind of figure vaguely.After a careful inspection, he was sure—some parts of this road were brand new.

Even though the appearance is exactly the same, where people often walk, the soles of the shoes and the road surface often rub against each other, which will inevitably make the road surface smoother; while the place that has just been paved has a completely different grainy feel to the touch.

These brand-new road surfaces constitute a network with increasingly dense intervals, and in the middle of the network is a perfect circle.

Here, not long ago, when he was cheering for those commissions, what happened in this place across the street?
