Chapter 19
Jeppard reacted and followed them out immediately. While he was chasing them out, Bronya also gave orders: "You protect the Great Guardian, and you follow me to chase the prisoner."
At this time, Jeppard had already rushed out and bit Pei Guang and his group tightly.
Jeppard ignored the peculiar smell on his body and rushed down directly. He saw Pei Guang and his group turned left after rushing down, and that direction was the mechanical 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 up with all his strength. Closer, closer.
Although Pei Guang scared the Iron Guard with garbage, it only bought a few seconds. He watched Pei Guang and his group turn at the intersection. He was nervous at first, but then he saw that they did not enter his sister's mechanical house, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
If they fled towards the street, in his opinion, Pei Guang and his group would be desperate. It was a long road, a long road without any alleys. There were even Silver Mane Guards guarding the end. Now that the Silver Mane 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, 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 group.
Xiluwa hummed a little tune and walked out of her mechanical room. As soon as she went out, she saw her brother hanging rotten vegetable leaves, eggshells, various dry and wet garbage on his body, looking around miserably: "What happened? So hurried? Hey? Is this... garbage on you? Puff! Did you rummage through the trash can or fall into the trash can."
Jepard glanced around, his eyes full of solemnity and shock. He clearly saw them turning, why did they disappear?
Just when he was puzzled, Bronya also caught up with a large number of Silver Mane Guards.
Bronya: "Where's the person?"
Jepard: "Lost."
And Shiluwa, who was about to throw away the garbage, yawned: "Ah~ You guys go find it first, I'll throw away the garbage and go back. So what happened? You guys are like this?"
After confirming that the person was lost, Jeppard spoke: "The Great Guardian was assassinated."
Shiluwa was surprised: "What? Cocolia was assassinated? How is she?"
Bronya looked at Shiluwa and explained: "Mother was just a little stimulated, it's okay, if you find anything abnormal, please report it to us."
Shiluwa waved her hand and sighed: "You were obviously not like this before... Forget it, I will tell you if I find anything abnormal. It's just that Cocolia..."
Shiluwa, who had a certain 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 she did back then, and she found a reason to deal with it.
But what does this have to do with her? She is no longer a member of the City Builder. She is just an ordinary person now, 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 not to say whether it is embarrassing or not, but the smell is indeed a bit strong.
"Hey? The trash can was stolen yesterday, and there is a trash can today. Brother, you are really efficient."
After Xiluwa praised, she 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, March Seven, Xing, and Dan Heng were inside the box, looking at the person who opened the box. March Seven showed a bright smile, Dan Heng's eyes flashed with a feeling of despair and remained silent, and Xing silently took out a baseball bat.
Chapter 39 People, temptation, trash can?
Seeing Xiluwa, Pei Guang first blinked, then shook his head.
At this moment, Xiluwa understood that the other party meant not to tell their location. If it were someone else, it would definitely expose Pei Guang and their location, but Xiluwa would not. Assassinating Cocolia? This aroused her interest. She wanted to see who Cocolia framed this time. She knew who Cocolia was, and that was why she didn't intend to leak 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 throw the garbage into the trash can and cover it casually.
Xiluwa: "The smell is stronger than yours. It's fumigated. Don't you clean it up? Even if you catch the criminal in this state, it will be uncomfortable, right?"
Jepard felt that Xiluwa was not right, but when he noticed that he still had the garbage from Bronya and the others on him, he was 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 definitely call you if there is any danger."
Xiluwa went back to the house. After she went back to the house, Bronya listened to Jeppard's report and fell into deep thought.
"You mean you saw them turn and disappear?"
Jepard nodded: "Yes, they disappeared after I chased them."
Bronya judged: "They must be hiding in nearby houses. Block this street and conduct a carpet search! Let the guards on each road pay more attention and don't let the prisoners go. Jeppard, you take people to post some bounty orders..."
Bronya was giving orders quickly. Although Bronya felt very disgusted with the smell on her body at first, how can I say it? After a long time, she got used to it. 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 was not only aliens, but also large ships, and there was a chance for everyone to survive.
But she didn't understand why her mother broke up with the other party when she knew that the other party was an alien. Is 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 personally saw the star opening and got the light would believe their words.
But Bronya still didn't understand why they wanted to assassinate her mother. Why did her mother kill them? Was there any misunderstanding? Or was there any hidden secret?
At the same time, Bronya also vaguely felt that there were many things wrong, but because Cocolia was her mother, she didn't dare to think about these ideas.
"Wait? Trash can?"
Bronya found the blind spot, she looked at the trash can not far away, and walked to the trash can.
There was a gap in the trash can, and this gap was tempting her like an abyss. What would be hidden in the dark gap? If the lid was opened, would it be related to the various star gods? Or a starship that could take people all over the world away? Or an enemy? Is there any hope of saving the world? These are all unknown, and only by opening it in person can you know what is inside.
When it is not opened, everything is unknown. She stared at the dark crack and felt that the crack seemed to be staring at her. When she stared at the abyss, the abyss was also staring at her. This was the first time that Bronya had this feeling.
This dark crack attracted her. She couldn't help but come to the side of the trash can. She put her hand on the trash can and put it next to the crack.
"It's just a trash can. There's no way there are those things..."
Bronya reminded herself, but this dark crack seemed to breathe, making her hand feel warm. This warmth made her heart restless, and her hand unconsciously wanted to exert force.
At this time, in the trash can, Pei Guang, Sanyueqi and Xing looked at Bronya who was walking here outside along the crack and began to communicate with the internal voice.
March Seven: "Guang! What should we do? Will we be discovered?"
Pei Guang calmly said: "Don't worry, since it was a plot kill just now, no matter how abnormal this box is, she will not have the opportunity to open it after the plot kill. If there are two boxes to choose from, she 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? Look..."
Through the gap, March Seven saw Bronya, who was about to open the box outside, retract her hand. Because Bronya felt the gaze of Jeppard and a group of iron guards. She is the heir to the Great Guardian, how can she open the trash can in the street? Wait until later to open it secretly.
She put away her hand, turned around and went back to lead the iron guards to search for Pei Guang and his group.
Martial law began in the city, and pedestrians were prohibited from going 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 issued an arrest order instead of a kill order this time.
In the trash can, Pei Guang and March Seven lay on the gap and watched the surrounding Iron Guards patrolling everywhere, and even the mechanical house came in 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 criminals were hiding in their homes.
Shi Luwa's home was also searched, but after all, she was Jeppard's sister, and Shi Luwa had a good relationship with the Iron Guards. It was actually a process to search.
And watching the soldiers coming and going on the street, March Seven now only had one feeling of happiness.
"I didn't expect that they really didn't check this trash can? Didn't they find anything unusual?"
Xing said proudly: "It's the luck of this trash can, this is my baby!"
Xing said this with a sense of pride. The trash can she used helped everyone escape the pursuit, and even the enemy was not discovered when they were right in front of them? What does this prove? This proves that she is very lucky.
Sanyueqi continued, "Look! Another group of Iron Guards are walking past us. How exciting~"
Watching the enemy walk by, searching countless rooms but not this place makes people feel extremely wonderful. And after experiencing so many worlds, being caught, wanted, and escaping many times, but I have 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 he's not angry. When I made the garbage, I added some ingredients to some of them. Although the smell can be washed off, whether the room can be used 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 play a plot kill for us?"
At this time, Dan Heng was sitting in the corner listening. What else could he say now? The trash can has been put in, and it's too late to say anything. But when a few people were chatting, someone walked here.
The person who came was none other than Xiluwa who found them hiding here during the day.

"Don't hide, come out~"
Hearing Shiluwa's words, the lid of the trash can was opened. Pei Guang poked his head out: "Are you a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Puff!"
This sentence made Xiluwa laugh. She chuckled and said: "I should be the one asking you this question, but you don't look like bad guys. Also, my brother has been bullied by you. How should this account be settled?"
Hearing this, Xing Tan poked his head out: "If I beat him, I will be a little gentler."
"Puff! Hahaha! You are so funny, come in quickly. Tell me the reason for assassinating Cocolia? I'm very curious."
March Seven poked his head out: "Will you believe it? What we said is very scary."
Xiluwa: "You tell me first, and then I will decide whether to believe it or not. Besides, I didn't reveal 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 the so-called Great Guardian is like!"
While speaking, Pei Guang 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.
Danheng also gave up treatment at this time and crawled out expressionlessly.
After Pei Guang put away the precious trash can of Xing and put a full trash can in its place, he followed Xiluwa into the machinery house.
"The sound insulation of the machinery house is OK, and no one usually comes here. What did you do wrong? The Iron Guards have transferred a group of people from the front line for the first time, and they are searching for you all over the city. The whole upper district is in a panic."
Hearing the question, Sanyueqi said bluntly: "We..."
Danheng reminded: "Wait, we..."
Before Danheng finished speaking, Pei Guang interrupted: "It's okay, this person can be trusted."
"Hey, brother, you trust me quite a lot? 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 obviously the first time they met, but the other party could trust her. How to say it? This feeling is quite wonderful. However, the fact that these people could hide in the trash can to avoid being searched is quite abstract.
March 7 whispered to Pei Guang: "Did you guess some of her experiences like the great guardian?"
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 you need to do before using this power to harm the world? Of course, you need to send away the capable confidants around you. 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 in the army, and he has a grudge against the superiors and is not dead, and he can even discuss her at will, which proves one thing! She is Cocolia's Friends, because she discovered the truth and finally parted ways and was deceived by Cocolia and fell into this completely sad place. I can even boldly guess that her previous work was related to the star core, and even said that she discovered the secret of the star core. "
As soon as this sentence came out, Xiluwa's face changed: "You are not a city builder, but you know such a confidential thing, who are you?"
Pei Guang took out a wooden sword and pointed it at the ceiling: "Me? It's the Galaxy Swordsman of the Galaxy Guardians!"
Xing took out a baseball bat and put it on the sword: "I am the Galaxy Batman!"
March Seven subconsciously took out a bow and put it on the baseball bat: "I am the Galaxy... Bah bah bah! We are not joking now." She hurriedly took back the bow, and her face was a little red. It's okay to play privately, but there are outsiders, so I'm still a little shy.
Dan Heng: "Hey, let me say it."
From Xiluwa's tone, it can be judged that the other party knows the star core. In this case, the other party is also a core person related to the star core. If you can get her help, then the next action will be much more convenient.
Although the other three can also speak well about this matter, let March 7th talk about it for a whole day.
So Dan Heng cut to the chase and told them all about their purpose, their experience, and what Cocolia did.
"Puff! Haha, interesting, really interesting. No wonder so many Iron Guards are trying to capture you, but... if what you said is true, Cocolia..."
Shiluwa showed a serious expression: "I believe you, because apart from 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 in the stars, and if you really want to get it by force, what ability do we have to resist? Ha, who wants to die if 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?"
Shiluwa: "Of course I know, if you can really solve the star core problem, the location of the star core is..." She explained the specific location of the star core, and she also made her own request, that is, to follow them and let her see the star core in person, which is her dream.
After Xiluwa finished speaking, Pei Guang looked at Dan Heng: "I have a question. If we find the star core, should we find it now and seal it completely?"
Dan Heng: "Yes, that's 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 branch quest, there is still a special situation, that is, the branch 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 it can be done. Boldly do some side quests, hidden history, twin city conflicts, if there are beautiful NPCs and treasure chests that can open treasures, these are all side quests that affect the main storyline ending. Don't do it, you won't be satisfied. It's a pity that you 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. "
Xing looked at Pei Guang excitedly after hearing the three words "quest", "side quest" and "ending": "Oh? Will it be delivered?"
Pei Guang's eyes were full of wisdom: "Of course, according to my experience, if you complete this series of side quests that affect the main storyline ending, you will definitely get good things. Maybe we can change our jobs?"
Chapter 41 Going out to collect intelligence and wanted orders
After hearing Pei Guang's words, Xiluwa's expression froze. What kind of man is this? Why does killing the life of a planet seem to be nothing in his mouth?
But it is obvious that she is not used to Pei Guang's way of speaking when she first met him, but Xing and Sanyueqi are used to it. In their opinion, Pei Guang always likes to imagine a possibility that he will not do it, and guess what the result will be.
Xing took out the bat: "Let's go! Let's do all the branch lines."
Since the goods were delivered, Xing's mentality has also changed a lot. After all, if you listen to Pei Guang, you can really get treasures! The golden light that rises to the sky, once seen, you want to see it again, but she completely forgot the pain of not delivering goods before.
