Jeppard reacted and followed immediately. As he followed, Bronya also gave orders: "You protect the Great Guardian, and you follow me to catch the criminal."
At this time, Jeppard had already rushed out and was following Pei Guang and his group closely.
Jeppard rushed down without paying attention to the peculiar smell on his body. He saw Pei Guang and his group rush down and turn left, which was the direction of the machinery house opened by his sister. No matter who Pei Guang and his group were, he couldn't let his sister be in danger!
Thinking of this, Jeppard rushed forward with all his might, getting closer and closer.
Although Pei Guang used the garbage to scare the Iron Guard, it only bought a few seconds. He watched Pei Guang and his team turn at the intersection. He was nervous at first, but then he was relieved when he saw that they did not enter his sister's machinery room.
If they fled towards the street, he thought Pei Guang and his group would be cornered. It was a long road without any alleys. The end was guarded by the Iron Guards, and now that the Iron Guards had received the assassin's message, they would naturally not let these people go.
Besides, the distance between him and Pei Guang and his group was only about five seconds. Where could they hide in five seconds? Where could they run to?
However, when he caught up and turned the corner, he subconsciously stopped because he saw his sister Xiluwa carrying a garbage bag and preparing to go out to throw away the garbage. Looking at the street again, there was no trace of Pei Guang and his friends.
Shiluwa hummed a little tune and walked out of his machinery room. As soon as he went out, he saw his brother looking around miserably with rotten vegetable leaves, egg shells, and all kinds of dry and wet garbage hanging on his body. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Hey? Is that... garbage on you? Pfft! Did you rummage through the trash can or did you fall into it?"
Jeppard glanced around, his eyes filled with solemnity and shock. He had clearly seen them turn the corner, so why were they gone?
Just when he was wondering, Bronya caught up with him with a large number of Silver Mane Guards.
Bronya: "Where are the people?"
Jeppard: "Lost."
Xiluwa, who was about to throw away the garbage, yawned: "Ah~ You guys go find it first, I'll just throw away the garbage and go back. So what happened? How come you are like this?"
After making sure that the person was lost, Jeppard said, "The Great Guardian was assassinated."
Xiluwa was surprised: "What? Kokolia was assassinated? How is she?"
Bronya looked at Silva and explained, "Mother was just a little irritated, it's nothing serious. If you find anything unusual, please report it to us."
Xiluwa waved her hands and sighed, "You weren't like this before... Forget it, I'll tell you if I find anything unusual. It's just that Cocolia..."
Xiluwa, who had some understanding of her former friend, felt that something was wrong. In her opinion, it was very likely that the so-called assassination was just like what happened to herself back then, and they were looking for a reason to deal with it.
But what does this have to do with her? She is no longer a member of the City Builders. She is now just an ordinary person, um! An ordinary person.
As for what her brother and Bronya were talking about, she was no longer interested. Seeing her brother and Bronya in such a mess, she was ready to take two towels for them to wipe.
As a guard, this state is embarrassing or not, but the smell is indeed a bit pungent.
"Hey? Yesterday the trash can was stolen, but today there is a trash can. You guys are really efficient, bro."
After giving some praise, Xiluwa opened the trash can. The moment she opened the trash can, she looked at the four pairs of eyes inside and fell silent.
Pei Guang, Sanyueqi, Xing, and Danheng were inside the box, watching the person who opened the box. Sanyueqi showed a bright smile, Danheng's eyes flashed with a feeling of despair and he remained silent, while Xing silently took out a baseball bat.
Chapter 39: People, temptation, and trash can?
Seeing Xiluwa, Pei Guang first blinked, then shook his head.
At this moment, Xiluwa understood that the other party meant not to reveal their location. If it were someone else, it would definitely expose Pei Guang and his location, but Xiluwa would not. Assassinate Cocolia? This aroused her interest. She wanted to see who Cocolia framed this time. She knew who Cocolia was, and that was why she did not intend to disclose the information of this group of people.
After seeing Xiluwa throw the garbage in and close the trash can, everyone in the box breathed a sigh of relief. As for the garbage thrown in? Pei Guang collected it directly. He had to replenish the lost throwing objects in the previous wave.
"Sister? What's wrong?"
His sister suddenly fell silent, which made Jeppard look over nervously. He saw his sister casually throwing the garbage into the trash can and then covering the trash can.
Xiluwa: "The smell is even stronger than yours. I am sick of it. Why don't you clean it up? Even if you catch the criminal in this state, it will be very uncomfortable, right?"
Jeppard felt that something was wrong with Shiluwa, but when he noticed that he still had the garbage from Bronya and the others on him, he fell silent. It was indeed a bit bad to stand in front of his sister like this.
"Sister, please be careful. If you see anyone suspicious, be sure to contact us."
Xiluwa nodded: "Okay, okay, I will call you if there is any danger."
Shiluwa went back to the house. After she returned, Bronya listened to Jeppard's report and fell into deep thought.
"You mean you watched them turn the corner and disappear?"
Jeppard nodded: "Yes, he was gone after I caught up with him."
Bronya judged: "He must be hiding in a nearby house. Block this street and conduct a carpet search! Let the guards on each road pay more attention and don't let the criminal go. Jeppard, take your men to post some bounties..."
Bronya was giving orders quickly. Although she felt disgusted by the smell at first, she got used to it after a while. At the same time, she also knew how dangerous this group of people was. According to what she heard last night, this group of people were not only aliens, but also large ships, which could allow everyone to survive.
But she didn't understand why her mother would fall out with the other person when she knew that the other person was an alien. Was it fake? It couldn't be fake, because she saw the golden light appearing in the trash can with her own eyes, and that light could not be created by any ordinary power. Anyone who saw the star open and got the light in person would believe their words.
But Bronya still hasn't figured out why they wanted to assassinate her mother. Why did her mother kill them? Was there a misunderstanding? Or some hidden secret?
At the same time, Bronya also vaguely felt that many things were wrong, but because Cocolia was her mother, she did not dare to think about these thoughts.
"Wait? Trash can?"
Bronya discovered the blind spot. She looked at the trash can not far away and walked to it.
There is a gap in the trash can, and this gap is tempting her like an abyss. What is hidden in the dark gap? If she opens the lid, will it be related to various star gods? Or a starship that can take everyone in the world away? Or an enemy? Is there any hope of saving the world? These are all unknown. Only by opening it yourself can you know what is inside.
When it is not opened, everything is unknown. She stared at the dark gap and at the same time she felt that the gap seemed to be staring at her. When staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. This is the first time Bronya has such a feeling.
The dark crack attracted her, and she couldn't help but walk to the side of the trash can. She accidentally placed her hand on the trash can and next to the crack.
"It's just a trash can, there's no way those things are in it..."
Bronya reminded herself, but this dark gap seemed to be breathing, making her hands feel warm. This warmth made her heart restless, and her hands unconsciously wanted to exert force.
At this time, inside the trash can, Pei Guang, San Yue Qi and Xing looked through the gap at Bronya walking towards them from outside and began to communicate with each other using voice.
March 7: "A Guang! What should we do? We are going to be discovered?"
Pei Guang said calmly: "Don't worry, since it was a plot kill just now, no matter how abnormal this box is, she won't have a chance to open it. If there are two boxes to choose from, I will definitely choose the empty one. This is experience. Think about when I was wandering around the mental hospital alone with a video recorder, I maxed out my hiding experience, okay? You see..."
Following the gap, Sanyueqi saw Bronya, who was about to open the box outside, retract her hand. Because Bronya felt the gazes of Jeppard and the Iron Guards. She was the heir to the Great Guardian, how could she open the trash can in the street? Wait until later and open it secretly.
She put her hand away, turned around and went back to lead the guards to search for Pei Guang and his group.
The city was under martial law, and pedestrians were forbidden to go out at will. Jeppard returned to his post because he had to guard the Rift. Bronya was fully responsible for catching criminals.
However, unlike Cocolia's order to kill them, Bronya's order this time was to capture them instead of killing them.
Inside the trash bin, Pei Guang and San Yueqi lay on the gap and watched the Iron Guards patrolling everywhere. They even came into the machine room to check. Affecting life? Yes, a little, but when they heard that the Great Guardian was assassinated, everyone took the initiative to let the Iron Guards search, fearing that the criminal was hiding in their homes.
Shiluwa's home was also searched, but she was Jeppard's sister after all, and Shiluwa had a good relationship with the Iron Guards, so the search was actually just a formality.
Looking at the soldiers coming and going on the streets, March 7 now has only one feeling of happiness.
"I never expected that they actually didn't check this trash can? Didn't they find anything unusual?"
Xing said proudly: "This trash can is lucky, this is my treasure!"
Xing said this with a sense of pride. The trash can she used helped everyone escape the pursuit, and even the enemy was right in front of them without being discovered? What did this prove? It proved that she was very lucky.
Sanyueqi continued, "Look! Another group of Iron Guards are walking past us. How exciting~"
It was a strange feeling to see the enemy walk by, searching countless rooms but not this one. I had been caught, wanted, and escaped many times in so many worlds, but I had never had such a happy experience.
Xing asked curiously, "There seem to be a lot of people patrolling, and that guy looks very angry?"
Pei Guang: "It's weird if I'm not angry. I added some ingredients to some of the garbage when I made it. Although the smell can be washed off, whether the room can be used or not is another matter~"
March 7: "You are so bad~ But I like it, let that bad woman feel the pain."
Pei Guang: "Who told her not to play by the rules and to kill us by plot?"
Dan Heng was sitting in the corner listening at this time. What else could he say now? The trash can had already been put in, so it was too late to say anything. However, while a few people were chatting, someone walked over here.
The person who came was none other than Shiluwa, who had discovered them hiding here during the day.
Chapter 40 Players who are familiar with the
"Don't hide, come out~"
Hearing Xiluwa's words, the lid of the trash can was opened. Pei Guang poked his head out from inside: "Are you a good person or a bad person?"
"puff!"
This made Xiluwa laugh. She chuckled and said, "I should be the one asking you this question, but you don't look like bad people. Also, my brother has been bullied by you. How should we settle this account?"
Hearing this, the scout stepped forward and said, "If I beat him, I will be gentler."
"Pfft! Hahaha! You guys are really funny, come in quickly. Can you tell me why you assassinated Cocolia? I'm very curious."
San Yue Qi leaned forward and said, "Will you believe it? What we are talking about is very scary."
Xiluwa: "You guys tell me first, and then I'll decide whether to believe it or not. Besides, I haven't exposed your position."
Pei Guang: "What you said makes sense. You are definitely the person who knew the truth when we were wanted in the plot. You may even know what kind of person the so-called Great Guardian is!"
As they were talking, Pei Guangxian climbed out of the box first. Then Xing jumped out handsomely. Sanyueqi didn't say anything, but now she was much thicker-skinned and jumped out calmly.
Dan Heng also gave up treatment at this time and crawled out with an expressionless face.
Pei Guang put away Xing's precious trash can and placed a full trash can in its place, then followed Xiluwa into the machinery room.
"The soundproofing in the machinery room is OK, and no one usually comes here. What on earth did you commit? The Iron Guards have brought back a group of people from the front line for the first time, and they are searching the whole city for you. The whole upper class district is in a panic."
Hearing the question, San Yue Qi said bluntly: "We..."
Dan Heng reminded: "Wait, we..."
Before Dan Heng finished speaking, Pei Guang interrupted him and said, "It's okay. This man can be trusted."
"Hey, you trust me, little brother? Although we have only met once, my intuition tells me that you are not bad people. My intuition is very accurate."
Xiluwa's eyes were full of interest in Pei Guang. It was their first time meeting, but he could trust her. How could she put it? This feeling was quite strange. However, the fact that these people could hide in the trash can to avoid being searched was quite abstract.
San Yue Qi asked Pei Guang in a low voice: "Just like the Great Guardian, have you also guessed some of her experiences?"
Pei Guang nodded: "Of course, this plot is not difficult to guess. Our mission is the star core, which is controlled by Cocolia and she wants to use it to achieve her goal. So what do we need to do before using this power to harm the world? Of course, we need to send away the capable confidants around us. As Jeppard's sister, she also has a mechanical house in such a special location, which proves that her identity and status are very high. Combined with her willingness to keep it secret for us, it is enough to prove that she has a grudge against Cocolia."
"My brother is still doing important work in the army. He has a grudge against the superior but is still alive. He can even discuss her at will. This proves one thing! She is a good friend of Cocolia. Because she discovered the truth, they parted ways and were framed by Cocolia, and she ended up in this completely heartbroken place. I can even boldly guess that her previous work was related to the star core, and even that she discovered the secrets about the star core."
As soon as these words came out, Xiluwa's face changed: "You are not a city builder, but you know such a confidential matter. Who are you?"
Pei Guang took out a wooden sword and pointed it at the ceiling: "Me? I'm the Galaxy Swordsman from the Guardians of the Galaxy!"
Xing took out a bat and placed it on his sword: "I am the Galaxy Bat Man!"
Sanyueqi subconsciously took out a bow and put it on the baseball bat: "I am Yinhe... Bah bah bah! We are not joking now." She quickly put the bow away, and her face was a little red. It was okay to play in private, but there were outsiders, so she was still a little shy.
Dan Heng: "Well, let me say it."
Judging from Xiluwa's tone, the other party knew about the star core. In this case, the other party was also a core person related to the star core. If we can get her help, then the next action will be much easier.
Although the other three can also speak well about this matter, let March 7th talk about it for a whole day.
So Dan Heng made it short and told them their purpose, experience and what they had done in Cocolia.
"Pfft! Haha, interesting, really interesting. No wonder so many Iron Guards are trying to capture you, but... if what you said is true, Cocolia..."
Xiluwa showed a serious expression: "I believe what you said, because besides the city builders, only you outsiders know about the star core, right? If you really want to destroy this place, there is no need to go through so much trouble. You have the ability to travel between stars. If you really want to take it by force, what ability do we have to resist? Haha, who wants to die when they can live?"
Pei Guang: "As an NPC, you are really smarter than that boss."
March 7: "This guy speaks differently from normal people. He is praising you for being smart."
Dan Heng asked: "Then do you know the location of the star core?"
Xiluwa: "Of course I know. If you can really solve the problem of the star core, the location of the star core will be..." She explained the specific location of the star core, and she also made her own request, which was to follow them and let her see the star core in person. This was her dream.
After Xiluwa finished speaking, Pei Guang looked at Dan Heng and said, "I have a question. If we find the star core, should we find it now and seal it completely?"
Dan Heng: "Yes, this is the purpose of our trip. Do you have any ideas?"
Pei Guang nodded: "Of course, our main task is to find the star core and let Ji Zi and the others deal with it. Although I like to run the main quest first and then the side quest, there is still a special situation, that is, the side quest affects the ending of the main quest. Now go directly to seal the star core, that is the normal ending. If we want to reach the true ending, I think we still have a lot to do. The tasks in the Novice Village are very simple, and with them as a backup, I think we can boldly do some side quests, hidden history, twin city conflicts, and in case there are beautiful NPCs and treasure chests that can open treasures, these are all side quests that affect the ending of the main quest. It's a pity that I can't reload the game! Otherwise, I would say that I would use a star destroyer to shoot at this ball and see what the bad ending is like."
After hearing the words mission, side quest, and ending, Xing looked at Pei Guang excitedly: "Oh? Will it be shipped?"
Pei Guang's eyes were full of wisdom. "Of course. According to my experience, if you complete this series of quests that affect the ending of the main quest, you will definitely get something good. Maybe we can even change our jobs."
Chapter 41: Going out to collect intelligence and wanted warrants
After hearing Pei Guang's words, Xiluwa's expression froze. What kind of person was this man? Why did killing the lives of a planet seem insignificant to him?
But it was obvious that she was not used to Pei Guang's way of speaking when she first met him, but Xing and Sanyueqi were used to it. In their opinion, Pei Guang always liked to imagine a possibility that he would not do it, and guess what the result would be if he did so.
Xing took out the bat and said, "Let's go! Let's do all the branch lines."
Since the delivery, Xing's mentality has changed a lot. After all, if you listen to Pei Guang, you can really get treasures! The golden light that rises to the sky makes her want to see it again after seeing it once, but she completely forgot the pain of not being able to deliver goods before.
