The black metal ball that Paco gave him is a very precious thing in the Galactic Federation. Many planetary rulers may not have one in their hands.

This is a secret box.

As the name suggests, it is a collection of secrets. The quantity is very rare, and its production methods and raw materials have been unable to be verified. It is only known that it uses a completely undocumented, and has not been found on any planet that has been explored in the Milky Way. over metal.It is widely accepted that the secret box is actually a product of an alien galaxy, which appeared in the Milky Way for some reason—such as a spaceship that drifted freely in the universe to the Milky Way because of disorientation.

There's a general consensus in the League that there's nothing like a cache to keep a secret.Its safety has been proved by iron-like facts over a long period of time. Unless the conditions of the setter are met, no means (people have tried all the methods they can try) cannot open the box to peep into the secrets, even if it is It is also impossible to simply destroy it.

Another feature of the secret box is that its size can be expanded freely, as small as an elementary particle, as large as a starship, as long as you want, you can use the secret box to store it, and once the box is closed, Its interior will automatically form an independent space, and its size will also shrink like a marble, making it impossible for people to guess what is inside unless the destined owner of the box opens it.

In addition, the conditions for opening the secret box are completely determined by the person who set it up. It may be a password, password, fingerprint, palm print, tapping frequency and other similar information. It may be a special solution or metal, or it may be fixed. location, temperature or light, and some even use the tears of their granddaughter as their key.If someone wants to leave something to future generations, then the secret box is perfect. With the gene as the key, even if it is tens of thousands of years apart, the secret box can accurately distinguish and set it from the thin blood. or the same genetic information, so as to complete the mission of transmission.Therefore, except for the person who set it up and the person who knows the setting conditions, even the smartest and most powerful person has no way of knowing where to start to open a certain cache box, because the number of possibilities is infinite.Once the secret box is opened once, the previous secret key will be useless, and the new owner needs to reset the opening conditions for it.

It's just that the secret box is difficult to be recognized because of its scarcity and its utility is too mysterious. Therefore, for most people, they may never have the opportunity to see this thing in their lifetime, and they only regard it as the countless treasures circulating in the universe. The product of one of the fantasy stories.

The reason why Emerald knew it was very simple - she served Kayul Corporation, and among the company's highly confidential research objects, there were two secret boxes.And this, Emerida said with certainty, was one of them. She recognized it from the pattern on the surface of the secret box. It is said that no two secret boxes have exactly the same pattern on the surface.

The gold leaf in the box is actually a miniature information storage card, its capacity and confidentiality are quite high, and it is quite different from the memory cards that the public has seen, but the tone of Emeridad when he mentioned it, he obviously liked it. This kind of stuff is commonplace and not taken for granted.

During the question and answer, Emerida, who was extremely smart but also extremely simple, was unknowingly induced by Rong Yuan to set her up completely.

Emerida is a Lantian, but she has almost no memory of the powerful Landia Empire on the other side of the galaxy. She always stayed in a spaceship with some unkind adults in her childhood memories. Wandering alone in the universe, sometimes they will rob the spaceship or planet they encounter, most of the time they are wandering like exile... maybe fleeing.As the only child on the spaceship, Emirida did not receive proper care and tender care. In fact, she was the bottom of the spaceship's biological chain, not only undertaking all kinds of heavy chores far beyond her age, but also She often had to face unfavorable beatings and punishments from the elders, and she was almost eaten as a spare food during another prolonged hunger.

Later, their spaceship inadvertently provoked a caravan that seemed ordinary but was very terrifying. be saved.But it was an ordinary spaceship that knew nothing about Landia. The appearance of Emerald made them both disgusted and frightened, so they left in a hurry after dropping Emerald on the nearest habitable planet.

The young Emerida has been wandering for several years. It is conceivable that because of her strange appearance and cleverness that does not know how to hide, she is repelled and driven away wherever she goes. Treat it like a beast when it comes out.It wasn't until someone with good intentions posted Amirida's photo on the star network, and was accidentally discovered by a doctor from the Kayul Company, that her life of wandering and helpless ended.But that doctor was not all kind. He found and took in Emerida in order to borrow her wisdom, and at the same time feared her wisdom. Therefore, the treatment Emerida received was not even as good as when she was on the spaceship. .The doctor does not allow anyone to communicate with her except himself, and will severely punish her if something goes wrong. He also planted a miniature bomb in her vitals, telling the girl that once Emerida tries to break away from or resist him, She will surely die.

That's why such a smart Emirida developed such an incomprehensible character under long-term oppression, threats, violence and cold violence.

It is entirely the result of Paco's hard work that Emerida can break away from the Kayul Company and appear in front of him.

Emerida is not clear about the specific process. She only knows that Paco was originally a doctor, a very ordinary and inconspicuous machine builder——Because the monks have more hands or feet than other races, they very good at this.And Paco, because of his simple and sincere personality and hard work, is a trustworthy and kind person in the impression of all colleagues.Even in the interstellar era, it is common for colleagues to bring each other a drink or breakfast. Paco is usually the one who is sent, and he always fulfills everyone's request happily and without any mistakes. The result is Well, many people in other departments also like to let Paco take something by the way when they need it.

Because of this kind of interpersonal relationship, which can't be said to be good or bad, Paco accidentally obtained the authority to freely enter and exit many departments that it was actually not allowed to enter. one thing.

——Who would doubt Paco?After all, it is so honest, kind, and stupid. Its dexterous skills and clumsy personality are concentrated on this octopus at the same time, making it look so harmless and even cute. Even people who don’t like him can’t say they hate it he.

But suddenly, it was heard that he seemed to have mastered something that was a terrible threat to the Kayul company and the doctor himself, and Kayul wanted to get that thing back at all costs.Everyone questioned the news, because they couldn't believe that Paco, who had been with him day and night, was a traitor or threat to the Kayul Company, but then the reality gave them a slap in the face-before the chasers sent by the company arrived, Paco has already escaped, not only disappeared without a trace, but also used people's trust in it to steal the doctor's precious secret box!Faced with this result, the people who loved Paco before hated and loathed him so much now, and at the same time felt deeply that Paco was terrible—how cunning he was to hide his true self from them for such a long time seamlessly. The bhikkhu stars!

Of course, these are the internal affairs of Kayul Corporation. As a united pharmaceutical company well-known throughout the universe, Kayul’s internal information will never be allowed to leak out in any form.Therefore, when Bhiksu Xing sent overwhelming advertisements looking for Paco, those who knew the inside story did not reveal a word to the outside world. Perhaps in their hearts, they also hoped that this liar would show his whereabouts and get the punishment he deserved.

Sure enough, after a long hunt and search, Paco, who had fled for a long time, was finally arrested and brought to justice.However, because the information and secret boxes he stole are highly confidential, all interrogations are led and participated by the doctor himself.Inevitably, Emerald, like the doctor's shadow, also had to participate in the interrogation and communicated with Paco.

Emirida, who has been isolated for a long time, cherishes every opportunity to communicate with other people. She almost greedily longs for the time to talk to Paco, even if he is just a traitor and prisoner, this time of casual chatting is also the most important thing. The happiest time of her day.Then in a short period of time, they gained mutual trust and friendship. Emerald firmly believed that Paco was treated wrongly and unjustly. She believed that her first friend was not what others said. It was as embarrassing as she said, but she was unable and did not dare to protest like the doctor.

Emerald began to think seriously about ways to help Paco escape.

On the contrary, Paco sincerely sympathizes with everything the girl has encountered.He was in a cage but his heart was free, he knew what he was doing and was proud of it.And what about Emerald?Both body and soul were firmly imprisoned, and the thin air outside made her breathe greedily like a drowning person.

The general lifespan of Landia people is more than three hundred years old. Emerida, who is only 17 years old, is just a young child among her real tribe, which is equivalent to a child who is only five or six years old in the eyes of people on earth. She should be taken care of in every possible way. And sometimes... can be spoiled by parents unprincipled.But in fact, Emerida has endured too much suffering and was forced to grow up rapidly and even abnormally. Her big eyes are always filled with deep panic and helpless appeals, begging not to be abandoned, not to be abandoned. Being hurt, in the face of everything, he will only endure it meekly and obediently.

The imprisoned prisoner tried his best to find a way to help the girl escape from this hell.

He used the limited communication time to describe the outside world to the girl, arousing her yearning for freedom and the future; he told the girl carefully about his only friend Rong Yuan and all the details of every time he got along with him, telling her Randia will always help each other, and Rongyuan is her family and the person who can provide her with protection and help; he asks the girl to help him, and brings an important thing to Rongyuan, and then tortures the doctor in every possible way. The hiding place of the secret box that received a half-word message was told to the doctor's most important assistant.

Emerida lived up to Paco's trust, and she didn't reveal a single word to the doctor about the important content involved in their conversation.At Paco's instigation, she mustered all her courage to wreak havoc in the lab setup, making it look like an accident had happened.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paco took out the bomb hidden in Emerald's body in less than 30 seconds by using his superb skills, and then planted it in his body before it exploded, re-detecting life... The physical bomb continued to dormant quietly, and the doctor who was furious about the laboratory accident did not notice the alarm flash at most one or two times in the middle. Even if he found out later, he would probably regard it as some kind of malfunction in the instrument signal.

Emirida, who escaped from the barrier, followed Paco's instructions, full of fear and expectation, and used her own wisdom and limited information to find Rong Yuan. Despite her fear, she found that Rong Yuan was actually completely different from the person she imagined. However, she still confessed everything she knew, and even completely entrusted her life and future to Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan was noncommittal to everything she said, but he did increase his trust in Emerida after knowing this.He knew that what Paco told Emerida actually contained some lies, but he had no intention of exposing it. He would wait until he knew what news Paco had sent him through the secret box.

Emerald once again showed her intelligence - after she said that in fact, no specific equipment is needed, and the convenient query device on the street can be transformed into a device that reads this kind of micro-memory. One was dismantled—an interrogator was stolen, to be exact, and Noah II managed to delay the sirens going off so they could escape.Then, in less than half an hour, the girl completed the transformation, and when Rong Yuan said that she needed to avoid it before checking, she also obeyed without any doubt.

The gold leaf stores contents far beyond its size, and the first thing Rong Yuan noticed was a letter that Paco left for him.After he opened it, the first sentence made his heart tighten——

"My dear friend from Water Blue Planet, I'm sorry that I deceived you..."

Therefore, it is said that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured, which is exactly what Paco is saying.

There is far more to learn in the new map.
