The sudden turn of events left everyone frozen in place.
Ranked first on the Sky List, death, indiscriminate notification—any one of these would be heavyweight news on an ordinary day, but today they all occurred simultaneously.
Wan Feng stood silently for a moment, still not reacting, when his steward, who had come with him, received another message.
“Yes, should we evacuate now? Understood.” He closed his light brain and hurried over to Wan Feng, whispering, “The nearby interstellar patrol warships have issued a regional message.”
“The X-1477 star system where we are currently located has experienced a catastrophic explosion of a derelict star. The patrol team has issued orders requiring everyone to evacuate as soon as possible within ten minutes.”
This message almost coincided with the previous indiscriminate notification, inevitably leading to more speculation.
But since it was said that it wasn’t safe here, Wan Feng had no intention of staying longer.
He nodded lightly and instructed the steward, “Bring the family’s starship over and have everyone prepare to evacuate.”
The people they brought with them moved quickly. The steward arranged for others to evacuate with Wan Die first. However, Wan Die was unwilling to leave and looked expectantly towards Yun Chi.
Wan Feng had to turn to look at this strange unfamiliar girl, contemplating what to say, when suddenly the person in front of him looked at him and cried out:
“Help!”
Wan Feng: …
She said those three words so dryly, but Wan Die couldn’t bear to hear them.
Immediately she shouted to Wan Feng, “Brother, please save my savior!”
On the other side, Yun Chi, lying on the mechanical dog, nodded seriously. “What should I do? It seems like I’m about to die.”
She said it without any emotion, but Wan Die heard it with genuine concern.
“Waaah, sister, don’t die.”
“Cough, cough.” Yun Chi wanted to continue, but her physical condition was indeed poor. The cold air made her cough until her face turned red.
Wan Die looked even more distressed, almost breaking free from the people around her to run over here.
Wan Feng: “…There’s a family doctor on the starship. If you don’t mind, you can evacuate with us first.”
Yun Chi immediately raised her head. “Okay.”
Wan Feng: …
She was just waiting for him to say that.
With the situation urgent, it wasn’t the time to argue with her about these things.
Wan Feng and his group quickly boarded the starship and left the remote planet, heading towards the planet where the Wan family resided.
During the space travel, Yun Chi looked up and glanced out the window. With that glance, she happened to see the warship representing the Interstellar Alliance flying hastily towards them, passing by their ordinary starships evacuating from the remote planet.
She withdrew her gaze and met the eyes of the person in front of her.
After all, she was a stranger, and even though Wan Die kept pleading, Wan Feng’s gaze hadn’t left her since they boarded the starship.
The family doctor who came with them gave Yun Chi a simple physical examination.
As soon as the doctor removed the instrument, Wan Feng asked, “How is she?”
The doctor shook his head. “Not good.”
“Severe malnutrition, accompanied by deteriorating vital signs. If not treated promptly, there is indeed a risk to her life.”
The medical equipment on the starship was limited, so the doctor simply administered some medication to her.
Wan Feng looked at the frail figure lying on the bed. Indeed, she was right to cry for help.
If she wasn’t someone with ulterior motives and had indeed saved Wan Die, then morally and ethically, their family owed her a favor.
However…
“Master.” The steward handed over a light screen.
Wan Feng took it and looked at Yun Chi. “Forgive me, before treating you, I need to verify your identity.”
The light screen in his hand was connected to the Alliance Star Network, where one could access the identity records of everyone.
Whether they were ordinary people, criminals, or individuals on the Alliance blacklist, there were no exceptions.
However, Wan Feng didn’t directly scan Yun Chi’s entire body with the light screen. Instead, he asked, “Name.”
Wan Die crouched by Yun Chi’s sickbed, looking up at her.
The eyes of everyone in the room were on Yun Chi.
Yun Chi remained calm, even lowering her head to sip on the nutrient fluid in her hand.
“Ji Fu.”
Wan Feng looked at her. “Interstellar code?”
“72336…”
She recited all the information effortlessly.
It wasn’t that she had preset that she would encounter Wan Feng and the others, but…
Ji Fu was her real name.
Yun Chi wasn’t a false identity; she was a real person who had existed, not a character she had fabricated.
After leaving the derelict star and confronting the Interstellar Alliance head-on, she had always used the identity of Yun Chi.
And there were countless ordinary people like her, who were just like Yun Chi, in the vast interstellar space.
The Alliance didn’t care about these low-tier individuals without talent; one more or one less made no difference.
Now that Yun Chi was truly dead, she reverted to her real name.
After inputting all the information, Wan Feng saw all of Ji Fu’s identity information.
Born on a remote planet, never underwent talent testing, and there was a photo that, although young, still matched the person in front of him.
Indeed, she was just an ordinary person with no background.
The atmosphere in the room instantly eased by half.
Putting down the light screen, Wan Feng’s expression softened significantly. “Miss Ji, I apologize for the abruptness earlier.”
“You are the savior of my sister, which makes you a benefactor of our Wan family. For this incident, the Wan family will definitely prepare a satisfactory reward for Miss Ji.”
“Is that so?” Ji Fu blinked. “Then I’ll choose for myself.”
Wan Feng agreed directly, “Sure.”
But as soon as he said this, he saw the person in front of him smile and ask, “Are you all new students at the Interstellar Academy?”
Wan Feng couldn’t tell, but Wan Die had always worn the badge of a new student from the Interstellar Academy.
If he remembered correctly, the new student badges were sent together with the acceptance letters to those new students.
Of course, this was a privilege reserved for noble families.
Ji Fu looked at him. “I want to enter the Interstellar Academy.”
The medication Ye Ping gave her was meant to activate all the cells in her body, allowing the black device to smoothly extract the essence from her body.
And from the first day her entire body cells were activated, she discovered her talent amidst severe pain.
She was just curious whether this talent was innate or induced by the medication. And who was the person behind Ye Ping, and what were they extracting the essence for?
For this reason, she used the little talent she discovered in excruciating pain, along with the materials provided by Ye Ping, to make a controller.
Controlling the unmanned drone mechs of the highest supervisor was not easy, so her already limited talent was depleted during this time.
This led to the mechanical dog, Yan Yan, still being a semi-finished product, and she had no strength to touch any materials anymore.
However, the talent she activated in excruciating pain didn’t disappear.
It was just exhausted from overuse and needed repair.
She had never encountered materials capable of repairing talent before.
But that didn’t matter.
It was well known that within the Interstellar Academy, there were countless top-notch materials.
That was a treasure trove.
At the same time, after receiving news of the destruction of the highest supervisor, chaos ensued within the Alliance.
The backbone personnel responsible for managing the prison, An Zaiyang, was scolded bloody by his superiors. Those outside listened to the irritable shouts from inside, feeling uneasy.
“So, that SSS-level criminal really died?”
“More than dead, I heard the entire highest supervisor was razed to the ground. The detection report says that there were materials from alien beasts on the derelict star where the highest supervisor was built, causing such an incident.”
“But how could the materials explode for no reason? This is too bizarre.”
“Who knows, they say even Captain Ye, who guarded the highest supervisor, was killed in the explosion. Her light brain and the death information of Yun Chi were issued simultaneously as alerts.”
Some wanted to ask more, but they saw An Zaiyang walk out of the office with a gloomy face.
“Sir, what do we do now? Should we contact the research institute to conduct a thorough investigation, or should we directly announce the accidental destruction of the highest supervisor to the public?” His subordinate hurriedly caught up with An Zaiyang.
“Investigate? What’s there to investigate? Can a low-tier species like Yun Chi escape from five hundred unmanned drone mechs?” An Zaiyang sneered, his voice thunderous. “If this wasn’t an accident, then I, An Zaiyang, would be dead from a starship collision today! Damn it, get lost!”
“Yes.”
The people waiting for news on the sidelines quickly left after hearing An Zaiyang’s swearing oath.
They took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the Alliance.
There was only one office on the top floor, with the words “Supreme Office” written on it.
After knocking lightly a few times, they heard a cold voice from inside, “Come in.”
He pushed open the door and quickly entered the office.
“Commander.” The person who walked in didn’t look good. “An Zaiyang is convinced that the explosion of the derelict star was an accident, Yun Chi’s death has been confirmed, and he is about to contact the media to issue a statement.”
“So Yun Chi really died?” Other people sitting in the room couldn’t believe it.
After a quiet moment, the man sitting at the bottom spoke in a deep voice, “Impossible.”
All eyes turned to him.
But they saw him with a deep gaze, standing up directly, and saying, “I think everyone has forgotten how much effort we spent and how many battle armors were damaged just to catch this top criminal three years ago.”
“An Zaiyang said she’s just a low-tier species?” He laughed in anger. “Yes, a low-tier species can almost cause the entire Alliance to collapse, a low-tier species can blast the highest star in the galaxy into pieces!”
With these words, everyone in the room fell silent.
Many had forgotten how, three years ago, she, with her own strength, destroyed thirty-three major planets in the Alliance.
“If it weren’t for the Chief Executive personally taking action, and our joint attacks, destroying her tools, making her unable to make black mechs anymore, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to arrest her and imprison her.”
After the man finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked at the highest-ranking person in the room, the Chief Executive.
The Chief Executive was seated behind the desk, his expression unclear.
But they all knew that Yun Chi had been imprisoned for three years, and the Chief Executive, who had captured her, had also been seriously injured, only recovering completely from his injuries half a month ago.
This Chief Executive was one of the highest-talented individuals in the Alliance, and one of the strongest in combat. And Yun Chi had no talent at all. According to everyone’s accounts, she should have been like an ant in front of this Chief Executive.
But the result…
So, saying Yun Chi is just an ordinary low-tier species? What kind of cosmic joke is that?
“Oh, Lao Cheng, don’t be so nervous.” A woman sitting opposite him smiled.
“Yes, after all, Yun Chi is still a low-tier species. Her main tool has been destroyed, and the materials used in that tool are unique. There’s no second one in the world.”
“Even if she really did design the jailbreak this time, without her tool, she’s not as dangerous as before.”
There was some truth to this.
But Lao Cheng still looked at the person sitting at the top, waiting for his answer.
Fang Yanli raised his head, looked at all the subordinates in the room, and said in a deep voice, “Go, they won’t investigate, we’ll investigate ourselves.”
“Let the research team continue investigating the debris of the abandoned planet, send people to investigate everyone who passed through that day on the abandoned planet, and summarize the information for me.”
“Within three days.” His gaze was cold, his tone calm: “Thoroughly check all relevant personnel.”
“Yes!”
Three days later.
On the Wan Family’s starship, Wan Die was extremely excited.
“Brother, where’s Sister Ji?” Wan Die was looking around eagerly, everything seemed fresh to her at the moment. After searching everywhere, she didn’t see that familiar figure.
In fact, the Wan Family’s doctor had suggested that Ji Fu should undergo treatment for a while longer.
But she insisted on going to the Interstellar Academy, and since Wan Die really liked her, she ended up on the list of those going to the Interstellar Academy from the Wan Family.
Wan Feng sat by the window, with a book in his hand. Without lifting his head at the words, he said, “I don’t know.”
As the starship was about to take off and Wan Die hadn’t seen Ji Fu’s figure, she became anxious.
When she finally looked up and saw the newcomer, she froze on the spot.
“Sister Ji?” Wan Die was stunned. As the starship had already taken off carrying everyone towards the Interstellar Academy at high speed.
Ji Fu nodded, took off her oversized coat hood, and sat down beside her.
As soon as she sat down, even Wan Feng, who was reading a book opposite, couldn’t help but raise his head.
Coincidentally, the fast-flying starship was intercepted.
A huge interstellar patrol warship appeared above, accompanied by the sound of patrol mechs:
“All starships, open your doors for routine inspection.”
Due to the events of the past few days, inspections had been frequent lately. Wan Die had been stopped and checked yesterday when she went out shopping, so she wasn’t paying much attention to this.
She just stared wide-eyed at Ji Fu’s hair, exclaiming, “Sister Ji, your…!”
Ji Fu held out two fingers towards her, “Just dyed it, cost two hundred interstellar credits. Do you like it?”
Wan Feng was slightly surprised. Under the brilliant sunlight, she sported hair of such high saturation and brightness that the color was striking to the extreme, smiling at the two of them.
“Dyed… dyed?” Wan Die was even more astonished.
Ji Fu nodded, “Yes.”
During her years at Yun Chi, because she always wore a mask and a duckbill cap, many people hadn’t seen her true face.
The only ones who were truly familiar with her appearance were some ‘old friends’.
Among them, the one who dealt with her true face the most was Fang Yanli, the highest executive of the Highest Office, who personally arrested her.
But…
They had clashed several times, and whether Fang Yanli understood her or not, she didn’t know.
She did know a little about Fang Yanli.
For example, this famous highest executive.
He turned out to be prosopagnosic, unable to recognize faces.
The next moment, they heard someone outside shout loudly, “Nobody move, routine inspection by the Highest Office.”
