Chapter 48: A Warrior of the Watcher Civilization?

In the main control room of the Galaxy Flight, a man dressed in black and wearing a black-and-white ghost-patterned mask was speaking eloquently.

Behind him stood over a dozen armed personnel wearing black tight Combat Suits, looking fierce.

Opposite him stood a group of flight staff members with angry faces; judging by their clothes, the Captain, the First Officer, the Second Officer, and other core members of the flight were all here.

“Mr. Captain, I know you come from the Ninth-grade Civilization, Orlantis. Indeed, this is a very power ful civilization, and I would not be stupid enough to rob them. Actually, I came this time just to find some supplies to maintain our lives. Yes, we need supplies.”

Captain Lucius was so angry that his face turned red; he was indeed an Orlantis People, and his typical silver eyes with intricate patterns proved this.

“Don’t think I can’t recognize you just because you are dressed like this; for the Longmei people to have a scoundrel like you is their shame. It’s truly unbelievable you’ve lived until today!”

The vocal cords of the Longmei people were very special, carrying a beautiful chord resonance that other races could not imitate; as soon as this black-clad man spoke, Lucius knew his background. He found it hard to imagine that the Longmei people, who always advocated the principles of sincerity and fairness, would degenerate into interstellar pirates!

The black-clad man laughed loudly: “Lord Captain, you just happened to say what I wanted to say. In fact, I am the number one wanted criminal of the Longmei people, because ten years ago I defiled the royal princess. Oh, ‘defiled’ is a description by those who don’t know the truth; actually, I should say I graced that woman.”

Facing such a shameless guy, Lucius felt very powerless: “I don’t care what you did in the past, but you must leave us enough supplies to wait for rescue! Otherwise, we would rather fight to the death than let you get anything, and I will start the flight’s self-destruct program!”

The black-clad man sneered: “Orlantis People are indeed as tough as the legends say, but Mr. Captain, your words did pose a threat. How about we adopt a compromise method? You know, less than a Light Year away from here, there is a terrestrial planet, Black Prison Star; we will leave enough resources for you to reach there, what do you think?”

Lucius’s face turned ashen; as the captain of such a large spaceship, how could he not know what kind of place Black Prison Star was? It was a primitive ecological planet, covered with ferocious beasts, and even the creatures at the bottom of the food chain were born with Protective Force Fields and energy attack methods. If this flight went there, it would definitely be ominous, and they would be gnawed to nothing by the beasts there.

“You…”

“You have no choice; I can control the flight because… Kubo, come over here.” The black-clad man suddenly shouted at the flight’s Second Officer, who was in charge of the flight’s defense.

At the same time, the flight’s Second Officer, the man called Kubo, also walked over to the black-clad man’s side.

Lucius looked at this traitor in disbelief: “You are crazy, Oris, oh no, you are not him! Damn it, you killed the real Oris and stole his identity!”

The black-clad man laughed loudly: “How is it? Do you accept my terms? If I wasn’t afraid of trouble, I could also strip you of your captain’s authority.”

The other side was prepared early; Lucius lowered his head dejectedly and waved his hand weakly: “You win, take what you should take, and leave what you should leave.”

Going to Black Prison Star still held a sliver of hope for survival; if there was no air, water, or food, everyone on the Galaxy Flight would be dead within minutes.

The black-clad man bowed very artificially and was just about to speak, but at that moment, his body paused, and then he roared into the communicator on his collar: “What did you say? Limon outside the guard cabin is dead? How did he die?!”

Obviously, something unexpected had happened on the flight, and the black-clad man’s subordinate was reporting the situation to him.

The black-clad man whispered some instructions, then turned around and said to Captain Lucius: “I am sorry, but I have to say, resistance fighters have appeared on the flight, and he killed one of my Mecha Warriors. What is your explanation for this?”

Lucius also couldn’t figure out who did it; anyway, in his impression, the Mecha on the Galaxy Flight had always been sitting there and were hardly used. He even suspected that those guard members didn’t know how to operate Mecha at all.

However, he was happy to see these robbers suffer some unpleasantness, so Lucius shook his head and said: “I don’t know. Perhaps it was done by a passenger on the flight.”

“I didn’t expect you to answer. It’s just a small bug; you, and you, turn on all the light information collection signals on the flight, and cut the camera to Area K of the spaceship!”

The black-clad man pointed at two flight staff members and ordered.

The two poor guys immediately looked at the Captain; they didn’t dare to do this without authorization, nor could they.

“Do as he says. Master Control Brain, give them operation authority,” Lucius said wearily.

The three-dimensional virtual screen was opened, projected in the center of the main control room, and quickly positioned on a black Mecha, which was lurking there quietly.

A Night Demon Mecha! So cool! This was the consensus of everyone present.

Night Demon was the common name for the anti-riot Mecha equipped on the flight; it was a powerful melee Mecha and a classic series in the history of Mecha design, mainly characterized by its black Demon image. Being able to pilot it showed that this guy’s own strength was not bad.

“Since when did Mecha become a common item? Lucius, are you sure you don’t know this guy!” The black-clad man didn’t want his subordinates to be damaged for no reason, so it would be best if this Captain could persuade this Mecha to surrender.

Lucius was also very puzzled; hearing this, he didn’t answer, just shook his head.

“I’m sure he’s not from the guard.” The speaker was the flight’s former Second Officer, now the pirate Kubo.

“The basis?”

“There are ten Night Demons in the guard, but the operators are zero; in fact, these Night Demon Mechas are still full of energy, and they are basically decorations. At least since I’ve been on the flight, I haven’t seen anyone touch them.”

The black-clad man laughed loudly: “So the defense of Galaxy Flight is so lax; it really opened my eyes.”

Indeed, for so many years, robberies like today’s had rarely happened, so it was normal for defenses to be slack, but Lucius still looked ashamed, because he was the captain of this flight, and he was duty-bound for such a thing happening!

At this time, the Night Demon on the screen moved, moving lightly and naturally, prowling against the wall.

As soon as the black-clad man saw this scene, his expression became grave: “Send three more Mecha to Area K for support, this bug is a bit tricky.”

Anyone who could maneuver a Mecha to this extent in a small space was definitely a master. The black-clad man had seen this kind of terrifying operation, but that was in an incredibly terrifying place, where just one person from there would be enough to fight his pirate legion.

In Area K, Lin Lei obviously didn’t expect that his every move was under surveillance; this was because he didn’t know the principle of the light information collector. The collection range of this light information collector was not direct visible light, but a complete collection of light signal disturbances within a certain range, with absolutely no blind spots.

He was following the memory in his brain, rushing to the spaceship parking platform via the nearest route; just around the corner ahead was a kilometer-long spaceship tunnel, and this passage could not hide a six-meter-tall Mecha at all.

There was no choice but to rush through quickly; Lin Lei quickly flashed out from the corner, preparing to explode with speed.

Suddenly, several black shadows came into his view; he was discovered, they were intercepting Mecha! Three of them!

As soon as this thought surfaced in his brain, the other side started shooting.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Lin Lei adjusted his figure and dodged quickly; high-energy rays flashed past him one by one, each carrying a scorching breath of death.

If he had known he would encounter this situation, he would have allocated more energy to the Protective Force Field just now; at least he could have taken a few hits, giving himself a chance to rush forward and solve them, instead of moving forward with such difficulty as now. After all, small-range maneuvering and angle changes consumed quite a lot of physical strength, and the body needed to withstand great inertial forces.

Lin Lei’s series of dodging movements looked very shocking on the holographic screen; the light information collector couldn’t quite keep up with Lin Lei’s speed, causing the screen to look full of afterimages.

The bright, blue-white energy rays didn’t hit his actual body, all passing through the afterimages.

“A perfect warrior!” The black-clad man was actually praising him, although he spoke everyone’s mind, everyone felt it was weird.

“But he will be destroyed by my hand; reality is truly cruel and ruthless!” The black-clad man’s tone changed, and then a series of orders were issued, determined to kill the Night Demon.

Over here, Lin Lei suddenly noticed a momentary pause in the other side’s attack, perhaps less than 0.5 seconds, but that was enough for him.

He pulled out the Steady-state Photon Blade, held it diagonally beside him, and then pushed hard with his legs, exploding with extreme speed.

He was on the slope next to the tunnel right now; with this burst, a pure white, dense photon belt lit up beside the Mecha, crossing hundreds of meters of space in an instant, passing through the three Mecha that were about to continue shooting, one by one at the waist.

The movements of the three Mecha stopped abruptly, while Lin Lei’s Night Demon had already quietly gone far away.

One second later, the upper and lower bodies of the three Mecha slowly slid apart; the entire Mecha, including the people inside, was smoothly cut into two halves, and the human bodies inside had their wounds fused by the high-temperature Steady-state Photon Blade, without even a drop of blood shed; the scene was strange and shocking!

For someone like Lin Lei, unless it was a one-hit kill, any negligence would cost a life.

Just now, when the black-clad man issued the order, and the pirates were slightly distracted, it sent them to hell!

The people in the main control room watched the whole process and all fell into silence.

It turned out that such an unparalleled god of death was hidden on the Galaxy Flight!

The Night Demon sped through the spaceship tunnel and encountered three more Mecha coming to reinforce.

Facing the Night Demon rushing with imposing momentum, these three Mecha didn’t even make an effective attack; one second later, they were similarly cut in half. The white light belt only paused slightly beside them before moving forward again.

This was the horror of the Steady-state Photon Blade; once in a high-speed state, it would unleash unimaginable lethality.

The black-clad man had completely fallen silent; he had a feeling that on this trip, he seemed to have messed with a warrior of an Eleventh-grade Civilization.

Damn it, why would a noble warrior of the Watcher Civilization take this broken flight!

“Combat Mecha, do your best to kill the Night Demon, don’t let him escape, the rest of you take the supplies and retreat quickly!” The black-clad man roared in exasperation; no one knew to what extent a warrior of the Watcher Civilization could go, and what they left for the entire Galaxy were only countless legends that were powerful enough to be shocking.

Although this guy on the flight was only piloting a low-level Night Demon Mecha, no one dared to underestimate him, just based on his bloody instant kill of six enemies just now!
