Take the sky train, the scenery outside the window is constantly changing.

The Sino region is far away from the main city of Mestan. They set off at nine in the evening, and the train took nearly two hours to arrive.

After leaving the platform, it is obviously not as prosperous as the main city. The buildings are still tall, and the holographic projection in the air is still eye-catching, but just a little farther away is the wasteland.

After all, it is the hub area of ​​the star network, and the wasteland is much more lively than other planets.The back and forth convoys and aircraft transport electronic components, and further away is the unified disposal of discarded servers.

On the way to the hotel, Long Shiyu ate with the princess.

The delicacies here come from all corners of the country, Beien, Xingdu, Elf Forest... as long as you want it, the machines here can make it.

There is an ice cream shop on the side of the road, and it is said that the recipe comes from a certain ice planet.Long Shiyu bought the milk-flavored one, and after taking a bite, it was really soft and delicate, with a strong aroma of milk.

He asked, "Do you want to eat? This is delicious."

He originally meant that Shen Chaomu would buy another one.

"Yeah." Shen Chaomu leaned over and took a bite.This ice cream is said to be from the ice planet, but in fact, the unique taste cannot be simulated mechanically, but he paused: "... very sweet."

Long Shiyu's ears were red again, but he got used to the princess's various hooliganism in the past few days.

They walked on the street, and slowly finished the milk-flavored ice cream one by one.

They ate while walking like this, and they arrived at the hotel at nearly twelve o'clock.The room was spacious, with soft beds and light gray curtains drawn carefully.Long Shiyu lay on the window sill and looked out. The tail lights of the vehicles on the road passed by, and the neon colors were different, turning into a sea of ​​light.

Looking in another direction, it is a slightly dark wasteland.

However, after just 2 minutes, the light flickered, and a huge holographic projection appeared on the wasteland.

Suspended above the city, the sky is its curtain.On the silent and black-and-white picture, men and women are dancing lightly.

Long Shiyu turned his head and said to the princess, "Come and see!"

Shen Chaomu put down the documents at hand and sat in front of the window like him.

"Mestan will have this dedicated film time," he said.

"Why black and white?"

"Before, movies were all in black and white."

Long Shiyu thought for a while: "I don't think I've seen it before. It must have been a long time ago, right?"

"Well, before humans landed on the moon. At that time, we didn't know anything about space."

"It's so amazing."

"Yes, I didn't understand that era either." Shen Chaomu also looked at the silently playing movie, "But I haven't seen this movie either."

"Then watch it with me."

The affairs of the association have not been dealt with, so Shen Chaomu moved all his things to the spacious bay window, and worked by the light of his own oil lamp——

Later, he continued to check Shen Xing's itinerary, and finally, according to the border guard records from that year, it was confirmed that the place where she disappeared should be an old castle on the edge of Xinuo.

The old castle is not far from here, and the aircraft can reach it in about four to 10 minutes.

Then, there are other complicated materials of the association.

Dealing with these things consumes mental energy and mental energy. Even with countless people supporting him, he still feels tired.

Now in this area, they have targeted a suspicious person: Chen Ke, a key talent in the innovation of Star Network 70 years ago.

The star network is conducting a rigorous investigation, and the technicians have always suspected that mercenaries are using some kind of back door in the system to evade the inspection of the border post.

The border post has its own strict system, and it is impossible for everyone to pass through easily. This small change can only allow the mercenaries to transport small contraband, such as blood, more safely.

The other party was very cautious, but still showed the fox's tail.

Just a few days ago, the other party tried to obtain some encrypted information-in the end he succeeded, but was blocked by the anti-hacker security system.After such a long investigation, the technical team and the alliance team came to Mestan in person again. With this, they found out the specifics of the back door almost immediately:

That is a small trick that can only be left behind when the star network is undergoing a large-scale reform.

In the end, all doubts fell on the "dead" Chen Ke.The Star Police checked the autopsy report from that year and found something suspicious, but it will take time to confirm.

Anyway, it's another tricky thing.He couldn't help with technical matters, Shen Chaomu rubbed his eyebrows, and continued to read other materials and reports.

On the screen, the two dancers are very close, their breaths are blended, their lips are separated, and occasionally the woman's eyes are shining when they lower their eyes. It is a joy that cannot be concealed by the black and white picture.

Long Shiyu took a bag of potato chips and ate slowly, concentrating on watching the movie.

Occasionally, Shen Chaomu raised his head, just in time to see the two kissing in the silent picture, black and white lights and shadows danced, he also tilted his head slightly, and kissed Long Shiyu.

Then the dragon with red ears nervously ate a few potato chips, and then kissed the princess on the cheek.

But before the movie could be finished, Shen Chaomu received a notification from the association.

Not far from them, there was a bar where mercenaries were suspected of having an underground transaction.

Mestan's monitoring system showed that several suspicious persons passed the platform and the East Crossroads near the bar at different time periods in turn—they didn't take pictures of their faces, but judged them based on their body shape and walking posture.

Long Shiyu took a look: "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to a bar." Shen Chaomu said simply, got up and put on his windbreaker, "I'll be back soon."

"I want to go too."

"You can continue watching movies at home."

"Huh."

Three minutes later, they set off in the car.

The bar was indeed not far away. On the way, Shen Chaomu used the terminal to briefly change his appearance. It wasn't many, but people who didn't know him would definitely not be able to recognize him at a glance.

The car stopped, and the window of the bar in front of me was shining with a blurred light, and there were big characters written on it: 忽象无檌·攺ぐ.

Shen Chaomu: "..." I always feel that this store name is somewhat familiar.

Long Shiyu was pleasantly surprised: "It's a branch of that store in Kassande!"

This store is much bigger than Cassand's, with many floors.The other hunters also disguised themselves and prepared to search slowly under the command of Shen Chaomu.

Entering the bar, Shen Chaomu and Long Shiyu pointed to the bar: "You can stay here for a while, and find someone to ask for some time."

"Okay." Long Shiyu said, "Can I order some wine?"

"No."

"Why?"

"What if I get drunk?"

"I won't get drunk."

"Don't yell, don't yell, it doesn't work anyway." Shen Chaomu skillfully interrupted his skill accumulation.

Long Shiyu was very disappointed, but he was led by the princess honestly, sat at the bar and ordered a few glasses of juice.

Shen Chaomu went upstairs and was overwhelmed by the carnival crowd.The hunters in twos and threes around followed him, or casually joked with a glass of wine, or twisted their bodies following the people, paying attention to the people around them, not letting go of any details.And every exit has been effectively blocked, no one can leave.

There is nothing unusual about these few floors, and the music is still deafening on the next few floors, but the crowd is slightly less.

On the fifth floor, Shen Chaomu turned his head to look at the open-air platform outside, where there were still all kinds of people drinking and having fun.

His mental power caught a trace of abnormality, and after tilting his head to signal other hunters, he walked up alone.

Following the abnormal fluctuation of mental power in the air, he walked to the corner of the platform.There was a round table there, and five or six men were sitting lazily, in suits and leather shoes, with beer bottles lying on the floor. They looked like ordinary office workers who came here to party after work.

Seeing Shen Chaomu approaching, one of them looked over drunkenly: "What do you do?"

"Come to drink." Shen Chaomu said, and flipped the table with his hands.

Those people stood up suddenly, their blood vessels protruded strangely, and the surface of their skin immediately began to turn into a beast.However, the golden Guangxu overwhelmed them in an instant, and easily shocked them until they lost their minds, staggering and dizzy.

This immediately alarmed the other guests. As soon as they started screaming, the hunters showed their badges to maintain order: "Please don't panic, the Hunter Association needs your cooperation!"

There were not only these mercenaries in Mihuan 檌·攺ぐ, they were scattered on different floors. Seeing this, they wanted to flee, but they were soon subdued by the hunters blocking the exit.

After all, this is just a small scene, a very common private transaction, and it is easy to solve.

Shen Chaomu opened the briefcase they put under the table, which still contained needles and blood samples.As he said, things were resolved very quickly.

When Shen Chaomu returned to the first floor, he saw dozens of empty cups and several plates of finished snacks in front of Long Shiyu.

"Eating too fast is bad for your health," he frowned slightly, "and you haven't had a drink."

"No hum!"

Shen Chaomu hesitated for a few seconds: "What?" The tone of the last "嘤" was obviously different.

"Hey!"

Shen Chaomu hesitated again: "Are you okay? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I just drank too fast! Boom!"

Shen Chaomu: "..."

He figured it out, it turned out that Long Shiyu's hiccups sounded different from others.

It took some time to deal with the scene, and a hunter over there hurried over and said, "Chief, there is something I need to tell you."

He sent Shen Chaomu a report.

Through the facial recognition of the few people who were just captured, it was confirmed that they were all interstellar wanted criminals.And by cracking their terminals, they found some chat records where they mentioned "boss".

Rather, someone—probably Augusta National—told them the necessary information.It seems that the "boss" himself is also in this area, directing them to act in the dark.

So, now Shen Zhai is also in Mestan, and also in the Xinuo area?

Compared to other planets, except for the star network, there seems to be no value here.

Shen Zhai has been waking up strange beasts from different planets, but Mestan is one of the few planets where no vicious beasts have appeared in history.Its prevention and control has always been strict, and it can be said that it has avoided the raging of strange beasts to the greatest extent.A night ghost riot hundreds of years ago was already the worst incident related to alien beasts.

The hunter said again: "15 minutes ago, an unidentified aircraft appeared at the west exit of the city... It may belong to mercenaries again, and now the third team has rushed over."

To the west is the direction of the old castle that Shen Xing had been to.

It stands to reason that there is no such a coincidence, but Shen Chaomu still frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

On the way back to the hotel, Shen Chaomu and Long Shiyu said, "Let's go to that old castle tomorrow morning."

"Okay!"

"I said you should eat slowly, why don't you drink some water and press it down."

"I just drank it! It's useless!"

Shen Chaomu: "..."

This is really a veritable dragon.

The aircraft flew across the sea of ​​lights, and 5 minutes later, Shen Chaomu's terminal vibrated.

It's the news from the association, saying that they have found what the hackers cracked.

It's all about the Sino area, frontier records from nearly a thousand years ago, and some case reports from Nancy Hospital.

It was exactly the same as the clues they had found before.

Shen Xing.

The name popped into my mind.

Shen Chaomu suddenly stopped.

Then he replied immediately: "I'll go there now, don't act rashly."

He disengaged the speed control system, and the aircraft turned around and flew straight to the west.

Four 10 minutes later, the old castle of Sino.

This place is far away from the center of the city, the sky is gray and there are not many stars to be seen.The castle has been abandoned for many years. It is dilapidated and old. It is not even qualified to be a tourist attraction. The unidentified aircraft is parked outside.

They are in the right place.

Around the castle are tiers of machines—cold servers silent, waiting to be dissolved and reborn.There is a holographic barrier on the outside, which requires authorization to open and enter. There is no sign of intrusion at the moment, and it is probably hacked.

Shen Chaomu said: "Not only the server, most of Sino's electronic products will be sent here. But..." He lightly touched the shell of a server.

In an instant, the blue data floated in the air, and a little bit of light illuminated the earth.The remaining information has not been erased.

Someone recently used the resources here to compute.

...It should be that Chen Ke.

Under Shen Chaomu's order, the other hunters did not enter the castle rashly.

Shen Chaomu was about to go straight in. He stood at the gate of the castle and said to Long Shiyu, "It's dangerous inside, don't go in."

"I want to be with you!"

"Be obedient, you see that your hiccups are not getting better."

"I'm amazing! Boom!"

Shen Chaomu: "..." Only then did he realize that he seemed unable to refute this sentence at all.

Most of the outer wall of the castle has collapsed, and it is easy to enter.The space inside is very large, and the golden light gently sweeps away some floating dust, revealing the traces underneath——

Those are the claw marks left by the alien beast.

Shen Chaomu identified it, and said softly, "It's a night ghost."

In the early years, the Xinuo area was relatively desolate, and nocturnal ghosts often appeared.However, he didn't find out that there were nocturnal ghosts who attacked the castle on a large scale, perhaps because of the remoteness of the area, it has not been discovered by others.

"Hey!" Long Shiyu also hiccupped in a low voice to express his agreement, "I never liked them!"

Going forward, passing several huge oil paintings, the great people of the past are still looking at them.

Shen Chaomu's mental strength has always responded to strong emotions, but this time the response came...extraordinarily special.

Walking through the promenade at this time, he seemed to be able to see how the castle was resplendent and magnificent back then, and how the woman slowly explored the castle.

Her shoulder-length jet-black hair was soft with a vibrant sheen.The slender fingers touched the wall and the picture frame. The serious injury on his body was still not healed. When he occasionally coughed, he felt a dull pain from the third rib.

Beside her, a bright oil lamp was suspended.

As the years passed, Shen Chaomu came back from the vision. The gorgeous corridors collapsed, and the woman's figure no longer existed. Only the oil lamp swayed, elongating the shadows of him and Long Shiyu.

Long Shiyu sniffed the air: "He has been here before!"

Shen Chaomu also felt the corrosive mental power.

The impression Shen Zhai gives people is always pale and gloomy, always entangled with those strange shadows, completely different from the heroes he knows.

Long years can change a lot.

And one person can never know all the stories of another person.

He didn't understand Shen Zhai's obsession, and he had no way of knowing Long Shiyu's past. Even Shen Xing, who was suspected of being related to him by blood—he had seen her medical records and heard all the contents of her recorder, he still couldn't understand. feel strange.

Because of her persistence, I have a bit of admiration, but that's all.Now coming to the castle, he just wants to know the truth.

Want to know what Shen Xing left behind at the end of her life, is it related to the Ghost Whale, the Nameless King, or the Gao Feng Project?

Following the little trace left by Shen Zhai, they went all the way to the underground of the castle.

After being abandoned here, many servers have been temporarily released for the calculation of overload.The server was an old model that had been idled after a short period of use and was never removed.So the underground is very messy, full of crumbling machines just like the outside.

When walking through it, the mental power suppressed all movement, so the footsteps became silent.

It looks like a gloomy cemetery here.

Until, the shadow on the ground moved.

In an instant, the light burst into the air like flying snow!

The golden color entangled with the shadow, destroying it directly, including the wailing of the strange beasts.At the end of the field of vision, in the center of the abandoned machine, the familiar figure appeared again.

A pale smile, an old-fashioned suit, and a delicate red rose pinned to his chest.

In the darkness, he didn't know what Shen Zhai was holding in his hand.

But they did indeed come a step late.

The offensive of both sides temporarily slowed down.

Shen Zhai said with a smile: "You guys came earlier than I thought, are you here...to find this?" He shook the recording pen in his hand.

It is exactly the same as the one Shen Xing left on the ship before.

Sure enough, she was here, leaving behind something.

It's just that Shen Zhai's expression was a bit weird.He said: "I have to admit that the message she left was a bit unexpected. I can give this to you, and it contains Gao Feng's plan that you want to know. Shen Chaomu, maybe you are not clear enough, me and the other participants in the plan It’s not the same, the pursuit of things is completely different.”

"To be precise, I have been an opponent of the plan until today. I used to think that we would have some similarities, but now it seems that things are counterproductive. You actually violated the principle, really and..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Chaomu saw Long Shiyu grab a server with one hand and throw it over with all his might!

Accompanied by the explosion, the giant server directly broke the sound barrier in the air, and instantly sent Shen Zhai flying.

Shen Chaomu: "..."

Long Shiyu was so angry that he slammed his tail on the ground: "Don't listen to this kind of person! I get annoyed when I see him!"

Shen Chaomu: "...Indeed. It can be seen that you are not only annoying, but also irritable."

This Shen Zhai didn't have a strong mental power, and he seemed to be unsurprising before his death, with that weird smile on his face.

Guang Xu took back the recording pen.

Press the button, and unlike the recording pen found on the spacecraft, its projection function is not damaged.

Then they saw the figure of a woman.

Her body is not tall, bright eyebrows, good looks, wearing a very simple shirt and jeans.

Is a busy traveler.

Her voice recounted the past: [I lost the previous recording pen, so I will briefly explain the matter again. 】

【Let me think about it, the beginning of the story should be...】

[The beginning of the story should be in that summer. 】
