Transform into a human

On the route from the police hub to Esfrie, the passing ships suddenly received a warning from the starport that an extremely dangerous suspect was on the run and they were asked to be careful and give way.

Most of the cargo ships and passenger ships hurriedly changed to other routes, but the ships that were closer to the police hub did not have time to adjust and saw a sailing warship passing by them at an astonishing speed and with a fancy maneuver, closely followed by a large fleet.

On the flagship Farstar, Bryce frowned. Logically speaking, there were seven planets between the police hub and the outermost Esfrie. If even one of them were on today's route, Yue Lai could be intercepted midway. But at this point, all seven planets were on the other side of the star!

The defense system of the central star system is located even further out of Esfri, and it would be too late to request assistance from the Federation military.

The passage between the two points is completely unobstructed.

"Main weapon warm-up."

"Sir?"

The others in the command center thought they had misheard. The other party was only a "suspect," and opening fire now would be a complete violation of regulations!

Even if we assume the worst and the other party escapes to Esvergrande, so what? The Esvergrande police force isn't just for show!

But Bryce's tone was firm:

"Execute the command."

He paused before adding:

"Control the angle well; there's no need to destroy the opponent."

"yes!"

On the other side, aboard the Return Home train.

A thin film of air enveloped the warship, its sails billowing, the source of the wind unknown.

"Yue Lai, are we sailors now?" Mo shouted excitedly.

Yue Lai suddenly swerved to the left, narrowly avoiding a meteorite:

"Mo, instead of wasting your time, why don't you go to the stern and operate the cannons!"

"what?"

Yue Lai shouted:

"That guy hiding in the police headquarters will definitely take this opportunity to kill us! That way, not only will we be rid of anyone who knows the truth, but we can also destroy that fake pen!"

"Coco... Coco..." Mo started stammering when she heard she was going to be buried by cannon fire, "But this cannon looks older than me!"

"You have to trust the methods of these extraordinary individuals! They can't cultivate like the skilled ones; they can only hone their craft throughout their lives. They'll definitely give us a surprise!"

Even so, Mo still stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single sound. After all, even if the Qishi had the capabilities to create a device, without radar, it would be practically blind in the vast universe!

Fortunately, the fleet of the police headquarters did not have military-grade weapons and could only fire steam main guns driven by tearstones, the trajectories of which could be seen visually within a certain range.

Suddenly, after a short while, starlight appeared at the stern of the ship.

"Yue Lai, Zuo!!"

Amidst the warning blast, the Homecoming suddenly tilted to the side, narrowly avoiding the incoming steam jets. But they were facing an entire fleet!

More stars lit up, but this time it was a dazzling array of stars, and the Homecoming would have nowhere to hide!

Mo had already loaded the shells into the breech-loading cannon, but didn't know how to fire them. She could only place her hand on the cannon and pray anxiously.

"Cannons, cannons, fire! Fire!"

It really worked!

Just before the steam jets were about to riddle the Homecoming with holes, the tail cannon roared, vowing to defend Miss Elf to the death!

From a distance, the Homecoming Ship looked like it had farted, spewing out a dreamlike nebula, and the once indestructible jet of steam began to swirl in the mist.

"Mo, well done!"

"Yue Lai, you're not bad either!"

"But Yue Lai, we don't have many shells left. If they come a few more times, we'll be riddled with bullets!"

As they were talking, something seemed to have slipped by.

Yue Lai assumed it was a meteorite, quickly tied the cable tightly, and spat out a mouthful of honey-like saliva to firmly seal the rudder.

"Momo, if you hold on tight, there's a way!"

"Once we reach Esfri, we must hold them off!"

The clockwork sprite, clutching a cannonball bigger than her face, forgot all her fear upon hearing she had a chance to fight independently:

"Yue Lai, you can go without worry!"

"It's time to show you my true skills!"

……

"I simply didn't demonstrate my true skills!"

On board the Golden Thief, Captain Downton stared at the sailing warship, which had already disappeared from sight, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Whose gang is this? They have no manners whatsoever, and they don't even know their place in this manly territory!"

Kerr, the underling, quickly stepped forward: "Captain, why are you talking like a pirate?"

Sure enough, the flattery worked perfectly, and Downton showed a pleased expression:

"I yearn for it, I yearn for it!"

These guys couldn't possibly be pirates, after all, this was the Central Star System, the capital of the Federation, where even the Pirate King would be wiped out. But they weren't exactly benevolent either, they were notorious "ship racing gangs" on various shipping routes.

They always speed in areas with weak regulations, calling it "matching," and then use their driving skills and better performance to escape the pursuit after being locked on by the police, and then just change their paint job afterwards.

This step is called "Star Destruction".

To Downton, the Homecoming, which had just sped past, was clearly a provocation and a violation of the rules. Even if they were to race, they should start from the same starting line, and to dare to overtake his ship? That was outrageous!

I've always been the one surpassing others, when has it ever been my turn to be surpassed?

Thinking of this, he began to increase the engine's output power. Although it was already quite outdated, the Golden Flying Thief was the latest model of a fast shuttle, equipped with the Pacific Ocean Group's "Victor8" tearstone engine. The name V8 was not just for show.

Just then, Kerr suddenly panicked:

"Boss, something's wrong!"

"Don't call me 'boss,' call me 'captain'!"

"Captain, look behind you!"

Downton glanced at the radar display and saw an entire fleet behind him!

He had never seen anything like this before. Tearstones weren't free. Usually, the police were too lazy to even send out destroyers to chase down speedboat gangs. But now, looking around, there were probably double-digit numbers of CD players on the destroyers!

A surge of passion rushed to his head, and Downton's eyes turned bloodshot.

If he could destroy a star in front of the main fleet of the police headquarters, he could brag about it for the rest of his life!

"This is proof of destiny."

"Kerr, request a match!"

"Alright, Captain!"

With a graceful turn, the Golden Thief blocked the fleet's path and instantly broke through the speed limit of one-tenth the speed of light.

Start matching!

On the Far Star, a group of superintendents stared speechlessly at the blind golden airship on the radar screen. Normally, they wouldn't mind going up and matching it, it's a free race, and some of the superintendents were even old rivals of this golden airship.

But now Bryce's face was so gloomy it could drip water!

It's all because this little thief was blind; he dared to block the path of the main fleet. He'll probably be locked up until the next century.

But the warhead controller was in a dilemma:

"Chief Superintendent, that ship is blocking the line of fire."

Before Blythe could even open his mouth, Falken roared:

"Announce over the loudspeaker that we are pursuing a major criminal and tell them to get out of the way!"
