Mao Luan could not answer Du Mo at all. He was lucky that the pain did not make him faint.
After he struggled for a long time, Du Mo regained his composure. "Tell me, was it Hu Biao's team that massacred the tens of thousands of refugees on planet KV303?"
Mao Luan laughed crazily. "So what if it was?
So what if it wasn't? "
There was another thud. The sharp blade cut into his shoulder blade, nailing him to the ground.
However, Mao Luan was numb from the pain. He spat a mouthful of blood on Du Mo's face. "Hahahaha, I won't tell you. I'll let you guess as much as you want. How about that?
You can't do anything to me. I've swallowed a few human brains and placentas. Let me tell you, they tasted very good … "
"Tch —"
His voice was suddenly cut off. His eyes popped out like a dead fish's because Du Mo had cut off his head.
The transformation device on the boxing glove was activated again. The bayonet turned into a cross-shaped blade and spun rapidly. Like an electric fan, it ground Mao Luan's brain into powder.
All the blood, bones, and brain matter sprayed on Du Mo's face, making his face look ferocious and terrifying.
However, his face was not looking good. Only then did he realize that there was an extra figure at the entrance of the passage. He did not even notice it.
Ding Meng looked at him silently. His tone was calm, but also very emotional. "It was Hu Biao's team. I've already investigated it."
Du Mo's nerves relaxed slightly. He slowly stood up. "What about the women and children who were captured?"
This time, Ding Meng was silent for a long time before he spoke. His voice was very low. "None of them survived."
Du Mo said sternly, "None of them survived?"
Ding Meng said expressionlessly, "I didn't sense any of them along the way."
Du Mo stared at him. "I've been wondering. You're so skilled and you hid your identity. It's impossible that you came here just to be a coolie."
"What about you?" Ding Meng stared at him.
Du Mo refused to answer.
Ding Meng sighed. "Do you know why I'm sure that none of them survived?"
Du Mo said, "Speak!"
Ding Meng said, "I lived with them for a while. As long as it's their aura, I can sense it."
Du Mo was surprised. "So that's why you're here."
Ding Meng said, "I think so too."
Du Mo's expression finally softened. "I'm not a simple person, but before I came here, I promised my teacher that if I can't get justice for those innocent people, then I'm not worthy to be an origin ability user."
Ding Meng asked, "Is your mentor okay with you coming to Bogor Star like this?"
Du Mo showed an impassioned expression. "He's definitely worried, but he also said that if I can't even deal with this group of pirates, then I don't need to go back. If I can't even complete this little bit of training, then I might as well die here, so that I won't embarrass him in the future."
His chuunibyou look was very confident, and the words he said were a little arrogant, but for some reason, Ding Meng just couldn't laugh. Instead, he felt a little warm in his chest.
Some people met because they were the same kind of people, and some people met because they had the same goal. Therefore, people who walked together would not have any hostility between them, only a feeling of knowing each other.
Sure enough, Du Mo put away his weapon with a "kacha" sound and looked at Ding Meng. "You were commissioned by the Green Arrow Corps?"
Ding Meng was silent, then said, "You're wrong!"
Du Mo said, "Oh?"
Ding Meng said, "It's not a commission. I came here on my own accord. Of course, you can treat me as a member of the Green Arrow Corps. I've said it before, I'm not your enemy. I've only come here for one thing, and that's to do what you just did …"
The faces of Sileman, Yu Liang, Ah Qiao, and Xiao Shanzi suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. "As for what exactly I'm going to do, even I don't know. If I have to describe it, then there's only one sentence: fight for those who can't fight."
This time, Du Mo revealed a surprised expression. "Sileman invited you here?"
Ding Meng was also slightly surprised. "He didn't invite me. There's no need to invite friends."
Du Mo let out a long breath, and his expression seemed a little excited. "Uncle Sileman and my father used to be friends when they were still Origin Ability Users. They applied for the academy at the same time. My father often mentioned him and admired him very much."
Ding Meng nodded. "So you also came to Bogku Planet?"
Du Mo said seriously, "He didn't ask me to come here. I came here on my own accord. The Holy Grail Federation can choose not to react to this matter, but as an Origin Ability User of the Holy Grail Federation, I can't turn a blind eye to this matter. No matter what other people think of me, I can't remain indifferent."
Ding Meng smiled. "You're not bad!"
At this time, Du Mo stretched out a hand. With an extremely sincere expression on his face, he introduced himself seriously. "Du Mo, Holy Grail Federation's Blue Moon Planet, Blue Pole Star City's Starlight University, top student, beginner Light Speed Type War Venerable."
Ding Meng also slowly stretched out his right hand and looked at him seriously. "Ding Meng, interstellar refugee."
Du Mo was shocked. "The Ding Meng who turned the Celestial Wolf Corps' Meteor City into a mess?"
"That's me!" When he said this, Ding Meng removed the disguise of Thousand Shadows and revealed his true appearance.
Du Mo's mouth suddenly opened wide. "You …"
Ding Meng smiled and said, "You don't think I'm him?"
Du Mo shook his head. It was hard to tell whether he was envious or jealous. "I didn't expect you to be so young."
Ding Meng said, "You don't look old either."
Du Mo revealed a bitter smile. "That's different. Interstellar refugee, sigh …"
He was an expert and had fought with Ding Meng before. He knew that Ding Meng was far stronger than him. He was like Qu Xiaoqing and the others in the past. He was usually regarded as a genius and a future star of the Federation. However, a freak like Ding Meng was actually an interstellar refugee. This was truly a pity.
Ding Meng calmly removed the suitcase from Mao Luan's body and put it into his backpack. "Don't sigh. I've been to school before. Outer space is different from school."
"Why is it different?" Du Mo did not understand.
Ding Meng sighed. "Sometimes, you can't be as soft-hearted as you when it comes to seeking justice. Although you're quite strong, killing is a different matter."
Du Mo didn't need to ask why, because the entire engine room suddenly flashed red. Clearly, the alarm had been triggered.
He sensed a little. It turned out that among the group of staff members that he had knocked down with [Afterimage], there were still people who had not completely lost their ability to move. A young woman leaned weakly against a control panel, but her left hand seemed to have pressed a hidden red square under the platform. That was clearly a mechanical alarm.
This was not caused by Du Mo's carelessness, but because his previous attack had been flawed. To put it bluntly, it was because his martial arts had not been perfected, and his control of his power had not reached a precise level.
However, now was not the time to think about these problems. Du Mo's reaction was still very fast. In a few strides, he rushed back to the reactor and pressed a series of buttons on the control panel.
Half a minute later, Chu Zhongyu, who was still in Xu Mengqing's room on the 26th floor of Building 1, suddenly saw darkness. All the lights in the room went out.
"What's going on?" Chu Zhongyu immediately stood up.
Yi Lan turned off the illusion on the crystal glass and looked outside. "Miss Xu, the power supply system here seems to have been interrupted …"
Xu Mengqing sat on the sofa without any reaction. She did not seem surprised.
However, Chu Zhongyu could not sit still. A disdainful sneer appeared on his face. He was a VIP invited by Lu Ming. Is this how you treat a VIP?
At a critical moment, you gave me a power outage. What's the point of playing in the dark?
What's the point of playing?
In fact, there was no need for him to doubt it. At this time, a large number of mercenaries had gathered in the circular plaza. Lu Ming, Guan Bai, Mao Zhan, and Hu Biao led everyone to look at the first floor of Building 3. The alarm had been issued from the underground engine room. There was only one possibility, and that was that there was an accident with the reverse source crystal.
Hu Biao was directing everyone. "Watch all the exits, especially the first floor of Building 3. Prepare snipers at the other exits. As long as it's not someone from our group, even if it's a mosquito, kill it …"
Guan Bai was watching the scene from an hour ago on her wrist device. Ding Meng and Jia Mao were walking side by side to the first floor of Building 3 in the plaza.
Lu Ming's face looked very cold. Either there was something wrong with this Wild Wolf, or there was something wrong with Jia Mao. Of course, the possibility of the latter was very small. After all, Jia Mao was Fourth Childe Chu's man. It was impossible for Haitian Group to play such a dirty trick on the Extreme Thief Corps.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with the system or the power supply has been cut off?"
Guan Bai immediately replied, "The system has been turned off. All the real-time images can't be seen. Mao Zhan can't be contacted either."
Lu Ming decisively ordered, "Go down and see what's going on."
"I'll go!" Mao Zhan's sturdy figure was the first to walk out of the crowd.
Lu Ming said, "Don't worry about anything else. Make sure the thing is safe first."
"Understood!" After saying this, Mao Zhan quickly walked to Building 3.
He dared to go down alone because he had the strength of a War Venerable. No matter what was going on down there, no one could hurt him. As long as he was fine, he could ensure that the Inverse Source Crystal would not be out of the control of the Extreme Pirate Corps.
The rest area on the third floor of the underground control center was like a neatly arranged and beautifully decorated canteen. In the center, there were rows of orange dining tables for four people, surrounded by electronic screens. There were also a few simple game machines and claw machines in the corner. Obviously, this was the place where the staff usually ate and played.
When Mao Zhan walked down, he couldn't believe his eyes. In the center of the canteen, there was a table full of soup and drinks. A strange guy was sitting there eating and drinking. Looking at the way he even licked the plate clean, it seemed that this person had not eaten for a year and a half.
Mao Zhan suddenly calmed down and looked at the other party carefully.
Ding Meng was eating happily. He poured a large bowl of noodles into his mouth and chewed. As he chewed, he stuffed chicken legs into his mouth. "Haha, this place is really good. There's so much to eat."
Mao Zhan also smiled. "It's really good. There's so much food that I can't finish it."
Ding Meng was amused. "Come, come, come, let's eat together."
Mao Zhan didn't make any trouble. He walked straight forward and sat down opposite Ding Meng.
