Europa seemed to wake from a dream, nodding frantically:

"Yes, yes, yes! My lord, please speak! Please speak! I will answer anything! I will answer anything!"

"Where is that planet?"

"Go, go forward!"

Euro pointed in the direction of the blue planet, "It's right here, fly straight ahead! It's a blue planet with meteorite rings, and it looks nine-tenths like Earth!"

He paused, then quickly added, "He, they..."

"Them?" The evil entity became interested, floated closer, and tilted its head. "Tell me more."

Europa shuddered at his approach but dared not flinch, stammering:

"I'm talking about another group, the ones who wiped us out. They definitely know more about it."

"Nine women and one man, ten people in total. That man shot and killed without hesitation, and that female captain..."

He swallowed hard. "Decisive and ruthless, aloof and elegant—they're both quite powerful..."

"Nine women and one man..."

The evil being licked his lips. "Sounds interesting~"

"Shut up."

Rory Frank glanced at him indifferently, then shrank back and remained silent.

Rolfell looked at Euro again: "And how were you all wiped out?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Euro took a deep breath and struggled to organize his thoughts.

"When our starships arrived in this region, we discovered an asteroid belt near that blue planet. We scanned it several times, but we couldn't detect any signals from other starships."

"I thought it was an unclaimed resource point, so I wanted to claim it first, but who knew..."

"Who knew they would appear out of nowhere, just suddenly showing up..."

"In the end, it was just me and Atai left..."

At this point, Euro stopped talking.

"Appeared out of thin air".

Raleigh repeated those words and exchanged a glance with the evil body.

The evil body dropped its nonchalant expression, revealing a rare hint of seriousness.

Invisibility, signal shielding, most likely...

He muttered to himself.

Furthermore, it must be of a high enough level to completely disable the scanning capabilities of other level 2 starships.

"interesting."

The evil entity spoke again, this time with a more serious tone.

"My lord, shall we go and meet them?"

Raleigh Franz did not answer.

He lowered his gaze to look at Euro, who was still kneeling and trembling, remained silent for a few seconds, and then waved his hand:

"You can leave now."

Europa, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, cried out, "Thank you, my lord, for sparing my life! Thank you, my lord..."

He dared not linger, turned around, activated the thrusters on his spacesuit, and fled frantically in the opposite direction.

Then, it had only flown less than 5 meters.

A hand suddenly pierced through his chest.

In the palm of his hand, he held a heart that was still beating.

Euro looked down, staring incredulously at the hand on his chest, at his own heart.

Slowly, very slowly, he turned his head.

Behind him, the monstrous face of the evil being, grinning from ear to ear, was pressed against his helmet visor.

"you……"

A torrent of blood gushed from Euro's mouth, congealing into strings of red beads in space. "You...say, let me go..."

Raleigh Franz wasn't looking this way; he was looking down at his mech's bracers, his tone calm:

"I told you to leave."

He looked up, his gaze behind the mask carrying a hint of innocence.

"Can……"

The evil spirit picked up the conversation, a bright smile on its face, its voice jubilant: "...But I didn't!"

Tilting his head, he admired the expression on Euro's face, a mixture of despair, anger, and confusion.

Euro's lips were still moving; he wanted to question him, but he no longer had the strength.

His vision was rapidly narrowing, and his heart stopped beating in the other person's palm.

"I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

The evil fingertip was pulled out of Euro's chest cavity, bringing with it a wisp of blood mist. "Really, it doesn't hurt."

Euro's body lost its support and, like an abandoned rag doll, drifted into the endless depths of space.

His eyes were wide open, and he never closed them until his death...

Raleigh Franz withdrew his gaze, his voice calm:

"Nine women and one man, a second-level starship that appeared out of thin air."

"Go and meet them."

Upon hearing this, the evil spirit's mouth stretched from ear to ear once again.

"Okay~"

He stuck out his tongue, swallowed Euro's heart whole, and then ran off in that direction...

"Hey, Xiao Ai."

"I'm not in the mood. You said we both went through that cycle of illusions together, and I thought..."

Jiang Shi looked somewhat dejected, and gave a self-deprecating smile: "And what was the result? They became suspicious after just a few words..."

"Forget it, forget it, I can't let this affect my mood."

That's what I say, but it's a bit difficult to do. I shook my head.

Seeing Jiang Shi's dejected appearance, Xiao Ai remained silent for two seconds, refraining from making any sarcastic remarks.

"Master, you shouldn't let Miss Wanxing affect your emotions too much."

"Your protection and love for her shouldn't be affected by this; you should learn to control yourself. Instead of worrying here, go out for a walk to clear your head."

"And collect some meteorites, Master. Remember, your own safety should always come first."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi paused for a moment, then gave a soft "heh": "Alright, I'll listen to you."

It adjusted its direction and drifted towards the distant edge of the asteroid belt.

He didn't know where he was going; he was just flying aimlessly, and his direction was precisely the direction where Rolifran and the evil body were...

After flying for about a few kilometers, Jiang Shi stopped above a large meteorite that was relatively flat and had a wide field of vision.

Sitting on the edge of the meteorite, with my back against a slightly protruding rock ridge, I looked into the distance through my mask.

From this angle, you can clearly see those still busy in the meteorite belt.

Shen Xi, Lin Qingxue, and Zhang Ruoyu were together; Dai Xinhui accompanied Liu Siqin; Bai Yubing, Wang Xiaoxiao, and that other three were also there; and Guo Wanxing…

Jiang Shi's gaze involuntarily followed the past.

The two sisters, with their backs to him, were talking about something.

Jiang Shi sighed and looked away.

They would sit there for hours.

Time moves slowly in space; there is no sunrise or sunset. Jiang Shi just sat there, thinking of nothing, yet it seemed like he was thinking of a lot.

As I thought about it, I realized that I was being very pathetic.

It's so boring.

He started fiddling with the sniper rifle, adjusting the scope parameters, and began aiming randomly.

The crosshairs of the scope swept across the asteroid belt, across the spaceship, and across several teammates.

Finally, at an unexpected corner,

Suddenly, an unexpected figure entered the crosshairs.

Jiang's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the camera's view, a person is moving quickly about eight or nine kilometers away from them.

A person who can move rapidly in space without wearing a spacesuit or having any equipment.

Even from eight or nine kilometers away, through the limited scope of a sniper rifle, Jiang Shi could still make out the fierce and menacing look on that face...

"What the hell?!"

Jiang Shi rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Is that a person? They're moving so fast, and they seem to be heading towards the evening star..."

Jiang Shi's heart clenched suddenly.

He immediately put his eye back on the scope, this time adjusting it to the highest magnification.

It's okay if you don't watch it.

Upon closer inspection, the person was slightly turned to the side, with a wide grin that reached down to their earlobe.

All eyes were fixed on the Guo sisters, Wanxing and Wanxing.

"Damn it!"
