Chapter 775: Star transformation

The military vehicle slowly drove into the Dongcheng Area part of minoya city. Compared to the bustling city center, the streets here were deserted, even a little desolate.
The word ‘desolate’ was already a good description of conkkin.
However, it also depended on the specific area. As one of the largest cities in kangkjins, minoya was comparable to the capital of a small country of the same level.
Conkkin’s development was a bit abnormal. Some of the more well-protected big cities still had a good living environment and atmosphere.
However, for some rural mountain villages, a large number of open dimensional spaces made the people there suffer unspeakable hardships. In addition, the local army was weak and there was internal strife, which led to the current abnormal development state of conkkin.
The military vehicle slowly stopped in front of a large courtyard.
Under Fu hei’s lead, the soldiers standing guard on both sides didn’t stop Jiang Xiao and he entered.
This place had the feeling of a courtyard house in the imperial capital of Huaxia. It could be considered a small military camp with an average number of guards.
After entering the courtyard, Jiang Xiao saw the busy figures of the soldiers and felt as if he had entered the command center of the Chinese army in the last century.
He saw a three-sided house, but as he followed Fu hei, Jiang Xiao realized that there was a whole new world inside.
According to the calculation of “entering”, they had to walk through at least four “entering” walls before they saw a familiar figure in front of the bungalow on the east side of the courtyard.
Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong.
The two soldiers were wearing pitch-black night Watch uniforms. They stood at the door without moving. There were no soldiers coming in and out of the other two rooms.
Occasionally, there would be soldiers passing by, but they would continue to walk towards the courtyard at the back. Therefore, this courtyard was very quiet, and no one came to disturb them.
As soon as Fu hei entered the courtyard with Jiang Xiao, he and Zhao Wenlong looked at each other. However, apart from rolling their eyes, they remained motionless.
Fu hei said softly,”the other teams have all been sent out. We’re the only team here. You can go in directly. I’m going to rest. I’ll come back to stand guard for Mingming later.”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao’s heart was heavy. He nodded and walked over.
When he passed by the two of them, Jiang Xiao gently patted Zhao Wenlong’s arm and nodded at hou Mingming, who was beside him. He then knocked on the door gently.
“Just go in directly.” Hou Ming’s voice came from behind.
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao opened the door and strode in, only to see the living room. The room on the left seemed to be a studio while the room on the right was a rest area.
Without a second thought, Jiang Xiao walked straight to the room on the left and opened the door. He was greeted with the sight of modern equipment that was out of place from the exterior of the room. There were communication equipment, tables and chairs, a sandbox, and a topographic map.
It was a familiar figure, but her style had changed slightly. Her hair was let down, and she did not tie it up into her signature low ponytail. The dark red hair tie that Jiang Xiao had given her during the new year was also tied around her right wrist.
At this time, she was sitting behind the office desk in the inner room with her legs crossed on the table. Her elbows were on the armrest, and the back of her hand was supporting her face. She was quietly looking out the window.
Jiang Xiao had no idea which Department was stationed in the courtyard behind him. He strode over and said softly,”Second last?”
“Yes.” Second last came back to her senses, but she didn’t look at Jiang Xiao. Instead, she gestured to the small red box on the table and said,”it’s yours. The higher-ups have also instructed us to hold an award ceremony for you, so there’s no need for that.”
“Oh, oh.” Jiang Xiao didn’t feel much about the so-called ceremony. He just wanted to get the reward.
Jiang Xiao strode forward, picked up the small red Square box on the table, and opened it to take a look at the second-class crescent moon medal!
Hence, it could be deduced that the mission to capture the leader was of greater significance than Jiang Xiao had imagined.
At the same time, a message came from the internal star map.
You have received the [night watchman-crescent moon medal] and 3000 skill points.
What Jiang Xiao didn’t know was that in the upper right corner of the internal star map panel, below the crescent moon medal that Jiang Xiao originally had, a medal that was emitting the brilliance of the Cold Moon quietly appeared and was hung on it.
The two crescent moon medal were hanging vertically. Beside them, the poor Starfire medal from the wasteland reclaimers had been suppressed to the point that no sparks could be seen.
Jiang Xiao was not in a good mood and did not feel the joy of receiving the medal. He stood in front of his desk and looked down at second last.””You’re in a bad mood?”
“You already know, why ask?” Second last said slowly.
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said,”I forced Fu hei to say it. Don’t blame him.”
“Yes.” Second last snorted casually and turned to look out of the window, still holding her face with the back of her hand in the same position as before.
The room once again fell into silence.
Jiang Xiao looked at the side of second last’s face silently. She had gotten thinner and her face was sullen. Her long and narrow eyes were filled with boundless ferocity that could not be hidden at all.
When a person was motionless and terrifyingly quiet, Jiang Xiao shuddered at the sight of the extreme emotions in her eyes.
Jiang Xiao was already terrifyingly powerful and could ignore most of the people and look down on most of the so-called strong ones. However, his aura was real.
Strength and aura could not be completely equated. Moreover, this beast in front of him, who appeared calm on the surface but was raging in her heart, not only had an aura, but her strength was also frighteningly strong.
Even though Jiang Xiao was the closest person to second last, he was still a little afraid that she would fly into a rage.
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,”you’ve told me many times. In the snowfield or during a mission, you’ve told me that it’s a soldier’s honor to die on the battlefield and to be wrapped in horsehide. It’s also the best home for a soldier.”
Second last suddenly said,”the two of you, go and guard the entrance of the courtyard. One in front and one behind. No one is allowed to enter or leave within five minutes.” Anyone who wants to pass through, take a detour. ”
At the entrance, after receiving the order, Mingming and Zhao Wenlong walked to the two gates on the side.
Second last turned her head slowly, looked up at Jiang Xiao, and said,””I can accept his death, but I can’t accept the way he died.”
“What?” Jiang Xiao looked at second last in puzzlement and asked,”didn’t he die during a mission?”
Second last beckoned at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao walked around the desk and stood beside second last.
Whoosh …
Second last grabbed Jiang Xiao’s collar and pulled his upper body down.
At the next moment, Jiang Xiao hurriedly grabbed his cloak, afraid that it would attack second last.
Second last grabbed Jiang Xiao’s collar and slowly pulled his ear to her mouth. She said in a hoarse voice,””He was beaten to death by someone.”
Jiang Xiao held his breath for a moment.
There was no need for any other information. Jiang Xiao could already understand how terrifying Xu Li’s death was.
Xu Li, a Shield Specialist at the Galaxy stage! He was beaten to death?
If Xu Li had been a rules awakened or even a melee fighter, perhaps the situation would not have been so serious.
Xu Li was a Shield Specialist! Especially as a light-chasers, how strong would he be? How high would his defense be?
So … How long would Galaxy shield warrior Xu Li’s death take? What kind of cruel methods had he suffered?
Jiang Xiao reached out and pressed second last’s hand on his collar before gently removing it. However, her hand was very tight.
“Second last, wake up. Calm down,” Jiang Xiao said softly.
Second last released her hand gently and gestured to a folder on the desk.””Your mission.”
Second last then rested her face on her hand and turned to look out of the window. She said in a hoarse voice,””No, it’s not your mission. This is my request to you.”
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and thought to himself, it’s not a superior-subordinate mission, but a personal request?
Jiang Xiao seemed to have realized what she was going to do.
He picked up the file and pulled out a dozen folders.
There were not many pages in each folder. The largest was only seven or eight pages, and the smallest was only one.
Each folder contained a person’s information. Some were detailed, some were brief, and some were even blank.
Second last allowed Jiang Xiao to flip through the information and did not disturb him. She just looked out of the window silently and her slightly Wavering Eyes proved that she was a violent person, which was completely different from her calm appearance.
Jiang Xiao opened the 13 folders in order and saw a profile picture on the first page of each folder.
Jiang Xiao said,”you said that this isn’t a mission. It’s a personal request.”
Second last said,”you’ve found your target.”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao pointed at the 13th folder and said,”sofiker Karen.”
Second last said in a hoarse voice,”these 12 people came from all over the world. They formed an organization called ‘planet Hua’.” Nine of them were elders, and three of them were accepted by the organization. ”
Jiang Xiao looked at the middle-aged white man in the photo with a sullen expression.
Second last said,”their goal is star beads. They want powerful star techniques and star pets.” Every rare space guarded by a country might be on their hunting list. What they wanted was the highest quality of everything in the world. Maybe they want to become the strongest Star Warrior, or they have other goals. ”
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Xiao sneered and said,””These people aren’t young anymore, but they’re still so naive.”
Second last said,”they did it.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Second last said,”they’ve left traces all over the world. They’ve already caused unimaginable damage to the world. And the damage is still continuing.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao nodded gently.
Second last said,”let me give you an example. Do you know which dimensional space the void scourge lives in?”
“Yeah, it’s called ‘void’,” Jiang Xiao replied.
“Do you know where the void is?” second last asked.
Jiang Xiao shook his head and answered,”I don’t know. That kind of dimensional space is a state secret. It’s completely confidential, both internally and externally. Its geographical location is not disclosed.”
Second last said,”but these people know.”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Second last said,”besides, they’ve already destroyed a void space when they were snatching the star beads.””
Jiang Xiao’s eyes widened slightly and he wondered, who are the people guarding the void in the dimensional space? What kind of experts were the guards?
How could these guys be this strong?
Second last said,”it’s the same in our country and in other countries. These 12 people are the most wanted criminals in the world. Each of them has a space-type STAR technique and their whereabouts are secretive. No one knows where they are.”
Jiang Xiao said,”you keep saying that there are 12 people. However, there are 13 folders here. There’s information on 13 people.”
Second last said,”he’s the one who’s being assessed. He’s in the process of being assessed. That’s why he went to the Dragon Cave and looked for Xu Li.”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded!
Ever since second last was transferred to the Northwest Army with the tail feather team, Xu Li was actually ordered to guard the Dragon Cave?
Second last said,”the Dragon Cave is very special. It’s a dimensional space on the border of the two countries. There shouldn’t be any information being sent out of a dimensional space of such a level. However, the two countries shared ownership and protection, which led to a series of problems. Besides, when the Dragon Cave first appeared, it caused too much of a commotion and couldn’t be hidden.”
Second last said,”so, the soldiers who are ordered to guard the Dragon Cave must have extremely high personal strength and political literacy.” Xu Li was entrusted with an important task. As you can see, he is dead. ”
Jiang Xiao looked down at Sophia Karen’s portrait with a sullen expression.
Second last asked,”do you know when Xu Li went missing?”
“When?” Jiang Xiao asked with a frown.
Second last said,”after attending hai Tianqing’s wedding, he hasn’t returned to the team.”
Jiang Xiao looked embarrassed and said,””F * ck!”
