Chapter 39 Who is she?
The Starport resembles a giant steel tree, stretching out countless berth branches. The silver, movable jet bridges automatically dock the moment the warships arrive, fitting seamlessly into the hatches.
Crimson-clad, trailing behind Luo Feng's group, carrying her small suitcase, followed the flow of people onto the covered bridge.
After these days of simple but monotonous space travel, the scenery before him seemed a bit too lively, too noisy and bright, causing Jiang Yi to unconsciously squint her eyes.
Beneath my feet are precisely operating mechanical arms, countless beams of light drawing bright blue trails against the dim background, accurately guiding each arriving ship; in the distance, the lights resemble an inverted sea of stars, merging with the port lights to form a continuous expanse.
This is the Imperial Star...
Although I had seen it in Jiang Yi's memory, the past memories and what I saw with my own eyes were quite different.
At least, Jiang Yi was quite interested, looking at it from left to right.
She looks just like a country girl visiting the city for the first time.
This was originally a bit strange, but coincidentally, Jiang Yi had "lost her memory" before, so her actions not only did not arouse suspicion, but instead drew sighs and sighs.
"Luo Feng! Ji Shu!"
A sound came from the end of the covered bridge.
Jiang Yi withdrew her gaze from the surrounding scenery and looked in the direction of the sound.
The person named Luo Feng was a young man. Judging from his clothes, he and Luo Feng should be from the same place.
Li Jianglan smiled as she watched the red-haired man approach, noticing his radiant appearance, and lightly punched him on the shoulder: "How's it going? How does it feel to be 'exiled'?"
"What else...?" Luo Feng laughed and punched back, "I'm so bored on this garbage planet! Sometimes I want to play games to kill time, but I can't connect to the internet and can only play single-player games!"
"Only a rigid old man like Ji Shu could adapt well to such a boring environment—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the head.
Ji Shu's voice came softly from behind Luo Feng: "Do I need to remind you? Can I hear you?"
Li Jianglan watched the two playfully bickering with a smile, showing no intention of stopping them, clearly already quite used to it.
"By the way, where's the boss?"
Luo Feng finally managed to break free from Ji Shu, tidied his messy red hair, and darted to Li Jianglan's side. Looking behind him, he asked, "Isn't the boss here? Or is he in the car outside?"
Li Jianglan shook his head: "The boss was originally going to come, but he was called away by his superiors at the last minute..."
Luo Feng put on a hurt and sad expression.
Li Jianglan completely ignored Luo Feng's "affectation" and continued talking without stopping: "You should be glad the boss didn't come today."
"What's wrong?"
After asking the question, Luo Feng seemed to remember something and tentatively asked, "Boss... did you have that dream again?"
Li Jianglan nodded silently.
"Ah... I see..." Luo Feng scratched his head, understanding dawned on him.
Even before he joined the First Legion, Luo Feng knew that their leader, Li Xingzhuo, had been troubled by a dream.
Li Xingzhuo didn't remember anything about the dream after waking up. He didn't know what the dream was like or what happened in it.
All he could remember was endless stretches of blood, the suffocating stench of blood, the overwhelming cries, screams, and shrieks... and a red figure he had been trying to reach but could never quite reach.
So much so that even if he doesn't remember what happened in his dreams, he is still very certain that all those dreams are the same dream.
Every time Li Xingzhuo had this dream, he would feel irritable the following day.
In other words, they're not to be trifled with.
In the past, at this time, Li Jianglan, who was Li Xingzhuo's deputy, would secretly remind those around them to postpone things until tomorrow unless it was something serious, and not to test Li Xingzhuo's patience limit at this time.
As for those who insist on going up there and acting foolishly at this time... what will their fate be?
Just look at those two legion commanders from the seventh and eighth corps; after they provoked the tiger, they lay in bed for days with bruises and swelling on their faces... and you'll know.
Luo Feng also clearly thought of some past troubles, and a hint of melancholy appeared on his face.
"Oh, right!"
He finally remembered the important matter, "I forgot to introduce you to this..."
Luo Feng turned around, searched through the crowd, and quickly found Jiang Yi's location. He pointed to Jiang Yi and said to Li Jianglan, "She is the only survivor from the previous space pirate ship."
Li Jianglan looked in the direction Luo Feng was pointing, and carefully confirmed, "Are you talking about that pirate ship that mysteriously crashed on planet J2M511, and all the pirates inside had died under mysterious circumstances before the ship crashed?"
Luo Feng, feeling like he'd just listened to a rap, nodded speechlessly and added, "Because she had just recovered from serious injuries and also suffered from amnesia, she couldn't find out what happened on the spaceship, so we brought her back first."
"Once her amnesia was cured, we learned what had happened on the spaceship, and she knew she was testing the waters and could go home on her own..."
"Please arrange some simple accommodation for her during this time."
"Is that so..."
Because of his profession, Li Jianglan nodded in agreement while subconsciously glancing at Jiang Yi.
She does look... quite delicate and frail.
The person being introduced had a completely non-aggressive face:
Her skin was pale from being deprived of sunlight for a long time, without a trace of blood, and so thin as to be almost transparent... Li Jianglan guessed that this was probably because she was recovering from serious injuries.
Her face was small and delicate, with a straight nose and a pointed chin; her eyebrows were softly shaped, and her eyelashes were long and thick, casting a gentle shadow under her eyes, half-concealing her dark, seemingly unfathomable eyes; her lips were pale, as bloodless as her skin, making her look exceptionally fragile.
In addition, she was slender, and the simple white dress covered her delicate frame, making it seem as if a slight gust of wind could break it.
Li Jianglan suddenly understood why Luo Feng, despite being the most suspicious of the surviving survivor, ultimately didn't suspect her much...
She looked... and really didn't seem like someone who could take down a whole ship full of strong and muscular space pirates.
only……
Li Jianglan's gaze slowly shifted to the face of the woman in crimson.
Why did he feel like he'd seen her like this somewhere before?
For the moment, Li Jianglan couldn't recall where he had seen it before, so he had to put the question aside for now and take Luo Feng and the others back.
"This is your room."
After leading the group back to their own territory in the First Legion, Li Jianglan felt much more relaxed. He took Jiangyi to the area where the guests were temporarily staying, found an empty room, and introduced it to Jiangyi.
"See if there's anything else you need, or if there's anything missing, just ask the duty officer."
"Starting tomorrow, Luo Feng should arrange for a doctor to continue your treatment. Are you okay with that?"
The woman in crimson shook her head.
Li Jianglan nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, you can rest for today..."
He politely bid farewell to Jiang Yi and returned to his office area. As soon as he approached, he noticed a figure sitting on the sofa.
"Boss?" He took two steps forward, confirming that the large, silent shadow on the sofa was his superior. "You're back..."
"What did they say?"
"What else can I say?" Li Xingzhuo irritably ripped off his military cap and tossed it aside. "It's just that little bit of trivial stuff!"
Li Jianglan knew that his boss would always be in a bad mood after arguing with his superiors, and on top of that, he had that dream last night... He clicked his tongue twice in his mind and began to try to distract Li Xingzhuo with other things.
"By the way, boss, Luo Feng and Ji Shu have arrived."
"They should be packing things up now, they'll be here in a bit."
Upon hearing this news, Li Xingzhuo's irritation subsided somewhat, and he responded with a soft "hmm."
"Also, Luo Feng recently found that game that can greatly reduce mental energy, which he mentioned before."
Li Xingzhuo was quite interested in this topic. He looked up and asked, "Where?" He was asking about the location on the map.
Previously, Luo Feng mentioned a special map in a certain game, whose unique gameplay caused Luo Feng's mental strength to drop by more than 1, which is why he agreed to let people return. However, he had Li Jianglan and his men search for a long time in the game Luo Feng mentioned, but they couldn't find it. He was even prepared to sentence Luo Feng to "death".
However, Li Jianglan hesitated slightly: "It's not in the game he mentioned before..."
Li Xingzhuo raised an eyebrow.
Under Li Xingzhuo's increasingly dangerous gaze, Li Jianglan forced herself to continue, "Luo Feng doesn't know why that map disappeared from the original game."
"But he has already had others test it as well."
Li Jianglan tried to make amends for her colleague: "Although it's in a different game, that game is more interesting and fun than the previous one, and the decline in mental strength is greater."
"According to Luo Feng, what he played before was like a simple demo version, and the game he found now is the officially released version."
"I looked at the data Luo Feng sent over—" He brought up the data page for Li Xingzhuo to see: "The effect of controlling mental power is indeed very good."
Li Xingzhuo flipped through the data, pondered for a moment, and then instructed, "Find a few more groups of people to test it."
"If this game is really good, we can contact the game developer."
Li Jianglan understood what he meant and responded.
"Oh, right, boss, the Jiang family sent an invitation to a banquet tomorrow night—"
Li Xingzhuo found it annoying to hear such "family" or "family" names. He was already prepared to interrupt Li Jianglan, but Li Jianglan actually stopped talking on her own.
Now, Li Xingzhuo became interested: "Why did you stop talking?"
"Boss!"
Li Jianglan looked excitedly at someone, and exclaimed, "I remember!"
"I remember—"
"Where have I seen the survivor of that space pirate ship that Luo Feng brought back?"
