This villain is too popular.

Chapter 114 Hidden Star Society

"Here, this thing is yours."

On a night of torrential rain, Liu Ma casually tossed the book "The Mechanical Bible" he was holding to Chen Kong.

Chen Kong hurriedly caught the church book that had been keeping him occupied all night and began to examine it curiously.

The cover is gilded and features constantly rotating gears.

Its extraordinary nature is immediately apparent.

After reading it, Chen Kong kindly asked, "Old Liu, if you just give this to me like this, won't your boss dock your pay?"

Liu Ma seemed completely unconcerned about this.

"Let them deduct it. Anyway, I don't rely on my salary for food. I live off the company's original shares."

"The reason I'm out on missions is simply because I want to achieve the perfect awakening of my Star Source."

At this point, Liu Ma suddenly took out his 'data terminal' and started fiddling with it.

A moment later, Chenkong's data terminal suddenly vibrated.

A secret document labeled "Star Mark" is being transmitted to his data terminal.

After he had read the contents of the document.

Chen Kong's pupils contracted instantly.

The contents of this document were exactly what he desperately wanted to know: the awakening of the star core.

But after reading the information here...

A hint of doubt arose in Chen Kong's heart.

Because he discovered that the file seemed to be recorded purely from the perspective of the 'Star Beast'.

After all, all the successful cases recorded here were Star Beasts.

There isn't even a single Child of the Stars.

"Liu Ma, where did you get this document?"

Having already put his suit back on, Liu Ma shook off the acid rain residue in his hair and replied, "It was sent to our data terminals three years ago by Caroline using her quantum network access from when she was at the base."

"It just so happens that you changed your data terminal identification code right after that, which is why she was unable to send you the information successfully."

"Is this so"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Kong said, "Did Caroline mention anything after she sent you this information?"

His expression was very serious, as if this question was of great importance to him.

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Ma suddenly said out of the blue, "I did say something like that. She said if you encounter other people with the same star mark, don't act rashly, and don't get too close."

"Because they are not necessarily 'friends'."

“At first, I thought about many possibilities, and even wondered if there were other people who had undergone the same stellar core surgery as us.”

"But so many years have passed, and apart from a few Star Children I know, I have never met anyone with Star Marks again."

"But I think that for someone as rational and cautious as Caroline to add such a sentence, it means that she must have encountered something."

"Otherwise, she would never have said that."

I've encountered that before.

"Ok?"

Boom!

Just after Chen Kong finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly ripped through the sky.

The explosive lightning illuminated not only Liu Ma's astonished face but also Chen Kong's serious expression.

It also illuminated a mysterious woman wearing a pure white mask who had quietly appeared behind Chen Kong.

The mask's patterns, symbolizing the 'Andromeda constellation,' were gleaming with a faint, eerie light.

"careful!"

Liu Ma grabbed Chen Kong's shoulder and pulled him behind him.

Then his right arm was instantly plated with 'gold' as he threw a punch.

A fierce punch tore through the rain curtain, blasting towards the mysterious woman's face amidst a burst of raindrops that had been broken open.

It was that 'Golden Fist' that even Chen Kong, a perfect second-level star envoy, dared not casually take.

But the woman caught it with one hand.

Despite the vast difference in size between her and Liu Ma, her slender, white hands were as delicate as porcelain, as if they would break at the slightest touch.

But this is the kind of woman who looks so delicate and frail.

He easily blocked Liu Ma's powerful punch.

Judging from Liu Ma's ferocious expression, he had clearly used all his strength.

But all he got in return was a compliment from the mysterious woman that wasn't really a compliment.

"The strength is decent, but... it's just decent."

Zheng!
In the trembling sound like the strings of a pipa.

With a slight exertion of her jade-like hand, the mysterious woman sent Liu Ma, a two-meter-tall, burly man, flying backward like a rag doll.

Seeing this, Chen Kong quickly reached out and braced himself against Liu Ma's back. After the soles of their shoes left a long trail of water on the wet ground, they finally dissipated the powerful inertia and came to a safe stop.

"puff."

Liu Ma spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at the mysterious woman.

She injured herself with just a simple exertion; what if she got serious?
Liu Ma's expression was extremely unpleasant.

It was obvious that he knew the enormous gap in strength between himself and the mysterious woman, a gap that seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Chen Kong's expression was equally grim. He had noticed the mysterious woman's left hand, where she was casually holding the heavily injured and unconscious Vivian.

Vivian's proud combat mech, Silver Glow II.

At this point, the area was covered with numerous gaps resembling 'sword marks'.

The jagged wounds exposed by the gaps in the mech were dripping with copious amounts of glaring blood.

They dyed Vivian a bloody mess.

If it weren't for Chen Kong being able to hear Vivian's faint heartbeat and breathing, he wouldn't have been able to hear her.

He might even think Vivian was dead.

And he was able to kill Vivian in an instant without them noticing.

Now he has casually parried Liu Ma's golden punch.

This mysterious woman wearing a mask possesses extraordinary strength.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong immediately began to carefully examine the woman's mask.

After he saw the unique 'Andromeda star trail pattern' on the white mask.

A thunderbolt flashed through Chen Kong's mind, and he instinctively said, "Hidden Star Society."

Upon hearing Chen Kong mention the words "Hidden Star Society".

The masked woman's brows furrowed instantly.

She then abandoned Vivian, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

After leaving an afterimage in place, he instantly appeared in front of Chen Kong.

The two were so close that Chen Kong could even feel the chill emanating from the other.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not human.

Instead, it was a powerful star beast disguised in human skin.

As a result, Chen Kong felt his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Where did you learn these three words from?

The mysterious woman spoke very calmly.

But this calmness reveals an inhuman indifference and contempt.

It was as if she wasn't looking at Chen Kong, but at a tiny ant.

Once Chen Kong's answer failed to satisfy her.

She would absolutely not mind stomping the other person to death.

But before Chen Kong could give an answer...

Liu Ma, who was standing to the side, suddenly sprang up.

The phantom of the Netherworld Warhorse neighed behind him, and the fist formed by the Golden Bull Demon radiated dazzling golden light.

He's not holding back with this punch!
However, the mysterious woman merely flicked her finger in response to Liu Ma's all-out attack.

Transparent strings appeared in the air.

"Behave yourself."

Zheng!
Then the eerie sound of the strings reappeared.

A sonic blade, barely visible to the naked eye, slashed through Liu Ma's chest.

After a burst of sparks and a piercing metallic cutting sound.

Liu Ma's body crashed through two concrete walls and collapsed heavily in the ruins.

The wound on his chest kept oozing blood, so deep that the bone was visible.

After doing all this, the mysterious woman didn't even glance at Liu Ma.

With long, slender, white fingers, she lifted Chen Kong's chin and asked again.

"Tell me, where did you get the idea that the Hidden Star Society is?"

In the rain at night.

Chen Kong looked at the mysterious woman's cold gaze, which was so close to him.

I felt like I was on the verge of death.

If he doesn't say something good next...

Perhaps these were his last words.

But he didn't wait for him to speak.

A soft laugh came from the top of the abandoned factory.

"You're nothing but a bunch of dim stars hidden under the lights of civilization; you really think you're something special?"

The mysterious woman subconsciously raised her hand, preparing to unleash a 'sound blade' in the direction of the sound.

Before she could make a move, a hand grabbed her wrist, stopping her from doing anything further.

"Does nobody know?"

Looking at the mysterious masked man, also wearing a white mask, so close at hand.

The woman from the Hidden Star Society, who had suddenly appeared, showed a look of astonishment for the first time.

Just like Chen Kong and the others before, they couldn't even see her make a move.

At this moment, she also had no idea when the mysterious mask had appeared.

And when he came to her.

Without any hesitation, Andromeda immediately took action.
She would make this ant who dared to offend her pay a bloody price!
