Xiang Xiao's out-of-control relationship

Mysterious sneak attack

silenced person

After Lin Jiangyue finished his rest, he took Xie Yan to the planet where Bird's lair was located.Like the M289 star, this asteroid numbered Z19 is also a very inconspicuous one among thousands of planets, so it doesn't even have a formal name.

After about half a day's voyage, they arrived at the asteroid.

Whether it is day or night, the fog on Z289 is very thick, which is very suitable for hiding.

Xie Yan parked the starship outside the atmosphere, let Song Yizhou and the others stay where they were, and took Lin Jiangyue, Cormier, and Genn to the battleship to enter Z289 star.

After a while, they saw a tall mountain standing in the dark night, like a giant hidden in the mist, gloomyly peeping into the distance.

Lin Jiangyue looked at the landmark and said, "This is it."

The spaceship passed through the fog and slowly approached the high mountain, and the buildings on the high mountain gradually became clear.

Bird's lair is built on the mountain, and the whole building is surrounded by a high defensive wall. The windows of the building are narrow, and the number of door openings is very small, which makes the building heavily fortified, like a secret castle, difficult to enter and exit.There is a road without any roadside trees at the entrance of the building, leading directly to the gate.

The foot, side, and summit of the mountain were lined with large forts guarding Bird's lair.

Lin Jiangyue said: "I didn't expect this guy's lair to be quite cool. I thought it would be that flashy style, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Xie Yan frowned slightly, wondering, this is a typical military defense building design, how could Bird design such a building?

Xie Yan said: "Slow down the flying speed and fly around the building."

The AI ​​system of the spacecraft replied: "Yes."

It is night now, but there is no light in the building. Either there is a fraud in it or there is no one in it.

Xie Yan said: "Open the secondary defensive cover."

This is enough to withstand the attack of the mountain fort.

The AI ​​system of the spacecraft replied: "Yes."

After the second-level defense cover was lowered, a light blue film of light quickly formed on the surface of the spaceship, but in the next ten seconds, the color of the light film became lighter and lighter until it was transparent, and finally the state of the spaceship looked the same as before.

After their spaceship approached the mountain building, the mountain fort remained silent, and the muzzle did not even turn.

Although the mountain was dark, Lin Jiangyue could see clearly by using the sentinel's ability.He observed carefully for a while, and said: "It seems that after Bode died, everyone here ran away."

Xie Yan believed in Lin Jiangyue's judgment as a top sentinel, and directly changed the defense of the spacecraft to the lowest level.

Lin Jiangyue muttered sadly: "I don't know if there is anything left in the house."

"Those interstellar pirates would be so kind?" Cormier teased. "I'm afraid this place has been ransacked to the point that not a single hair is left. Your illusion of making some money is going to be shattered."

Lin Jiangyue let out a "tss": "What are you making money for? Am I that kind of person? I'm thinking about your captain. I'm afraid that the information and evidence he wants to find are all gone."

Xie Yan glanced at him indifferently, obviously this glance was very indifferent, but Lin Jiangyue saw suspicion from this glance!

Lin Jiangyue coughed lightly, and said, "Really, I was worried that your trip would be in vain. At most, I wanted those forts, and I didn't return empty-handed. Diligence and thrift are traditional virtues."

Lin Jiangyue has always had the habit of picking up interstellar waste. In the past, the interstellar pirates often fought each other in the front, and he drove the spaceship to pick up the waste in the back.Lin Jiangyue felt that there was nothing wrong with him neither stealing nor robbing.

Even if the rest of the young people in Phoenix run away, they will only run with money, not the fort, but that thing is really good for Lin Jiangyue.

Cormier laughed and said, "Look, look, your true thoughts are still exposed."

"It's just a few forts, your captain won't be so stingy. Besides, you can't take this thing back." Lin Jiangyue touched Xie Yan with his elbow, "Is it?"

Xie Yan stood up straight and remained motionless when touched by Lin Jiangyue, like a piece of cold ice, which made Lin Jiangyue embarrassed.

When Xie Yan met Lin Jiangyue's blue eyes and saw his eyeballs rolling, he thought of the poor little thing for some reason. Of course, Lin Jiangyue would not make the same aggrieved expression as the little thing.

Xie Yan calmly withdrew his gaze, and said to the AI ​​system, "Land down."

Lin Jiangyue was used to him for a long time, and he was not angry, and still stood next to Xie Yan.

Cormier blinked and asked intentionally, "You can take whatever you want, why ask our captain?"

Lin Jiangyue was stunned for a moment, he caught a glimpse of Xie Yan looking at him from the corner of his eye, and that cold expression made him sober up instantly, so he cursed "Damn" in a low voice.

Isn't it?He can take whatever he wants!Ask Xie Yan what to do?

Could it be that he has been hanging out with Xie Yan too much, his brain is broken, and he has started to pay attention to obeying the law?

Lin Jiangyue scolded himself while moving away from Xie Yanyuan, ready to wake up.

The spaceship landed slowly outside the defensive wall, and Xie Yan arranged: "Lin Jiangyue and I will search above the fourth floor, and you two will search below the fourth floor, pay attention to safety."

Cormier and Gern said in unison: "Yes."

The four of them entered the area inside the defensive wall along a straight road. Although there were no tall trees inside the wall, some plants that were just up to knee height were planted, which made the scenery in the garden not so dull.

When passing by these plants, Xie Yan lowered his eyes and stared at them with a pensive expression.

"Thorn plants..." Lin Jiangyue saw Xie Yan's solemn expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are there any special things about these plants?"

This kind of plant is short, the whole plant is full of thorns, and even the edges of the leaves are jagged, it is simply a killer in the plant world.

Xie Yan said indifferently: "Military style."

Lin Jiangyue raised his eyebrows: "Oh?" The architectural style here is indeed different from the lairs of many interstellar pirates he has seen. It is simple, boring, and boring, which really does not conform to the style of interstellar pirates.

Xie Yan explained: "There are no trees beside the road, which is convenient for people inside the house to observe the situation outside. The plants are low and thorny, reducing the possibility of outsiders lurking into the house at night."

Lin Jiangyue said suddenly, "Could it be that this uncle is very unusual? But I don't think he looks like someone with a background."

Lin Jiangyue paused, and said thoughtfully: "But it's really strange when you think about it carefully. How can you say that he, a little pirate leader in the border star area, got on with someone from the Zhang family? If he has a deeper relationship with the Zhang family? deal, then..."

That's another matter.

Lin Jiangyue looked at Xie Yan and didn't say any more.

A high-ranking general in the first star field has a connection with the pirate leader, and his intentions are obvious.

Xie Yan stared at the eerily silent mountain building, his eyes darkened: "You can find out after searching."

The higher up the whole building, the smaller the windows, and the worse the lighting. When Lin Jiangyue and Xie Yan entered the fourth floor of the building, the natural light here was half that of the lower three floors, and the surroundings were quiet and dark.

Of course, this kind of situation can't trouble Lin Jiangyue. As a sentinel, he has strong five senses, so simply mobilizing his mental power is enough for him to see the situation in the house clearly.

Lin Jiangyue teased Xie Yan: "It's dark here, if you are afraid, just follow me."

There was no response from Xie Yan behind him, so Lin Jiangyue turned his head to look, and saw Xie Yan in the dark with calm brows, and his combat uniform showed his slender figure and tight muscles, revealing a unique indifference and abstinence.

Lin Jiangyue rolled his Adam's apple subconsciously. In the darkness, his eyes watching Xie Yan brightened a little, and the tail of his mental body involuntarily turned up.

When Xie Yan looked at him, his eyes were as cold as ever, and the combat mirror glowed coldly, reflecting on Xie Yan's face, as if it was covered with a layer of ice.

Even so, in Lin Jiangyue's eyes, Xie Yan is not as cold as when he first met, but cold with warmth. These are obviously contradictory words, but they are not contradictory when used on Xie Yan.

After Xie Yan turned on the mirror, he said lightly, "Let's go."

Lin Jiangyue thought regretfully, although Xie Yan is not a sentinel and does not have super five senses, but he is the captain of an elite team with super equipment, so he is not needed at all.

The building is very quiet, but Lin Jiangyue is very lively.

"Captain Xie, there are so many rooms here, we don't even have anyone to ask questions, how should we search?" In fact, Lin Jiangyue is not stupid, of course he knows how to search, he just wants to quarrel with Xie Yan.

"A room to find a job."

Lin Jiangyue asked again: "These rooms are all locked..."

Xie Yan shot open the door lock: "Old problem, small problem."

This is indeed an old question, because Lin Jiangyue asked it before.But now it was the first time for him to see Xie Yanbengsuo, and to be honest, his movements were clean and neat, and he was quite handsome.

The first room they opened was the living room, where there were piles of unwashed clothes and daily necessities, but nothing else.

"It smells so bad." Lin Jiangyue rubbed his nose and said in distaste, "It's still Captain Xie."

Xie Yan closed the door and interrupted the chattering Lin Jiangyue: "Search separately."

Lin Jiangyue: "Ah..."

We can't tease Xie Yan anymore, how lonely we are.

Seeing that Lin Jiangyue hesitated, Xie Yan returned the original words to him: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

Lin Jiangyue choked, and muttered: "If we separate, we will separate. You search here, and I will search the back."

After a while, gunshots came from the end of the corridor, and soon Lin Jiangyue's excited voice rang through the communicator.

"Captain Xie, I have better luck opening blind boxes than you. The first room I open is the work area." Lin Jiangyue is like a child who wants to compare everywhere.

Xie Yan gave a faint "hmm" and continued to open the next room.

"Huh..." Lin Jiangyue wondered, "Would you like to take a look? It seems that someone has searched here first, but they don't seem to have finished the search, and left a lot of documents here. I don't know why these documents are not useful to them. Use it, it’s still too late to take it away..."

Just after the four of them entered the interior of the building, a spaceship from the back mountain slowly lifted off, and left Bird's lair taking advantage of the night and the thick fog.

While Lin Jiangyue was speaking, light and steady footsteps sounded outside the door. He was very familiar with this footstep, and it was Xie Yan who came.

Xie Yan walked into the room and glanced at the table that Lin Jiangyue had turned over.In just a few minutes, the files were scattered all over the table, and the table was in a mess. He glanced at the file shelf next to him again. Although it had been searched, it was still neat and tidy.

The two sides are in stark contrast.

"I read these documents, and there is nothing useful. There is no valuable item in this room. If there are interstellar pirates, they will not come to search here. It is not very likely to be conscientious to bring the documents, so..." Lin Jiangyue pondered, recalling the mysterious man he met in the black market in Black, "Do you think that Mr. X sent someone to destroy him? Evidence of the deal with Bird?"

Xie Yan nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Lin Jiangyue's guess.

"If that's the case, I hope he hasn't searched for the key things, otherwise it's really uncomfortable to find nothing."

Xie Yan said: "It's not that I got nothing."

Lin Jiangyue put down the document in his hand and looked at Xie Yan: "What can I gain?"

Xie Yan said: "The people who came to search are well-trained, not miscellaneous soldiers."

"How can you tell that they are well-trained?" Lin Jiangyue just finished asking when he saw Xie Yan's eyes move back and forth between the desktop he had turned and the file rack.

Lin Jiangyue: "..."

The answer is obvious.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Lin Jiangyue raised his hand, saying that he didn't need to explain.

Regardless of whether the person who took the first step was sent by Mr. X, the documents in the room they rummaged through are still neat. This kind of behavior really does not look like a disorderly interstellar pirate.

At this moment, Cormyr's urgent voice came from the communicator.

"Captain, the people here didn't run away, but were killed!" Cormier quickly reported, "I found five corpses in the garden, all five of them had their throats slit to death, and the wounds were neat and tidy. There are no traces of fighting on the body, so it can be seen that the assailant moved swiftly, I guess these five people didn't even have a chance to struggle and resist before they died."

At this moment, there was a slight movement outside the house. Although the other party was cautious and deliberately lowered the footsteps, it could not escape Lin Jiangyue's sensitive ears.

Lin Jiangyue and Xie Yan looked at each other, Lin Jiangyue gestured "I'm going out", Xie Yan nodded slightly, and temporarily turned off the call on the communicator.

Lin Jiangyue walked out lightly, while Xie Yan stood behind him, holding a gun in his hand, with sharp eyes fixed on the door, covering for Lin Jiangyue.

A black shadow suddenly flashed across the door, and then a round object smashed in.

Lin Jiangyue immediately dodged to the right, and at the same time Xie Yan fired.

Unexpectedly, that person was extremely fast, and Xie Yan wanted to keep alive, so he had no intention of hitting the opponent's vitals, so the laser just grazed the opponent's arm.

The man let out a cry of pain and disappeared outside the door.

Lin Jiangyue hurriedly chased after him.

Xie Yan said to Cormier and Genn on the other side of the communicator: "There are people, be careful."

"Yes!"

Before Xie Yan followed out, he lowered his head and took a look. The thing that was smashed in just now turned out to be a fist-sized rock.

Xie Yan frowned slightly as this was not a weapon.
