After forming a covenant with the interstellar bosses

Song Yu would occasionally take a look at the surveillance footage of the underground cell. Wu Lingjiu was not there sometimes, but he was there most of the time. He seemed to treat it as his own residence.

She just watched him like that, but never went to see him. In fact, after learning that Wu Lingjiu would appear in the underground prison cell, Song Yu reduced the number of times she returned to Bai Ze Palace. Wu Lingjiu's ability was too strong, and she didn't want to be taken away again, even though the condition that the mermaid finally gave was that as long as she didn't leave, he could be locked up forever.

In late November, the Interstellar Empire had a 11-day autumn break, and many students returned home. Song Yu and Song Yang's North Star Circle was too far away, so they decided to stay in the Capital Star Circle. Originally, Song Yu wanted to go to Bai Ze Palace with Song Yang, but it was clear that Song Yang was more eager to reunite with his pre-matched partner. After all, Ouyang Zhan couldn't enter the Imperial Military Academy, and he had many other things to do. They only saw each other every two or three weeks at most.

Ouyang Zhan seemed to have also planned his travel itinerary, so Song Yu didn't bother with it anymore.

Han Zhuo did not come this time, and Tang Zhishu also went to see Her Majesty the Queen for some matters, so only Sha Lang and Jiang Yan accompanied her.

She first went to visit a tourist attraction in the city, and then went to the mall to watch the latest movie. She rarely did such things. In fact, she would stay in school for training most weekends.

Song Yu was very happy after playing for a whole day. When she was walking home in the evening, with a good mood, Song Yu turned on the communicator, and a not-too-obvious message caught her attention.

The headquarters of the Fourth Military Region was attacked by strange beasts.

The content was very simple. It only said that two SS-level monsters suddenly appeared at the headquarters of the Fourth Army. In addition, eight S-level and A-level monsters suddenly appeared in front of the Fourth Army's flying spacecraft to intercept it. The Fourth Army suffered at least 8 casualties.

This kind of military news is generally not widely publicized, and only such major events that cannot be concealed will occupy a place in the corner of the civilian network. In comparison, the news of Lin Yunyu attending a luxury dinner occupies a much larger area.

"What's going on?" Song Yu asked Jiang Yan.

"There were many casualties, and the Commander Qiu you met before is gone."

Song Yu's heart tightened. She had helped him dispel most of the bad energy at the time, and she thought there would be no problems for at least a few years. She had never expected that after just over a month...

If it weren't for the previous contact, she would be as indifferent to the news about the Fourth Military District as all other civilians. But since she saw the young and middle-aged people in the Fourth Military District living such a lively life on such a desolate planet, it was difficult for her to ignore the relevant news.

Moreover, these four words suddenly appeared and struck Song Yu's heart hard. No need to ask, this must have been done by Wu Lingjiu.

Song Yu turned on the surveillance camera for no reason. She had clearly seen him not there two hours ago, and he might be celebrating with the mermaids after doing such a "big thing", but she just wanted to take a look.

But, Wu Lingjiu was actually there! He lay motionless on the wooden bed without a mattress.

"Go back, go back to Bai Ze Palace."

"Homeowner..."

After so long, Jiang Yan and the others actually guessed that Wu Lingjiu would appear occasionally. As long as Song Yu didn't see her, everything could be controlled.

But Song Yu said nothing.

The car sped all the way and arrived at Bai Ze Palace in less than half an hour.

"We'll wait outside. You must bring the device to suppress the monster's body." Jiang Yan instructed.

Although it's not very useful.

The door of the underground cell opened, and Wu Lingjiu just moved slightly and lay on his side.

Song Yu already had a branch in her hand, intending to give him a beating when they met, but when she got closer she realized that Wu Lingjiu's face looked terribly ugly, and his lips, which had been pale to begin with, were now almost pure white.

"Sister, I knew you would come." Wu Lingjiu's voice was very low and weak. "It's been so long. I waited so long for you to come."

"Do you know what you have done?" Song Yu waved the branch, and the "pa pa" sound was in his ears, but the branch hit the metal wall every time and did not touch Wu Lingjiu at all.

She was very anxious, as if she was really facing a brother who had done something irreparable and didn't know how to save him.

"Sister, you can hit me tomorrow." Wu Ling didn't move for a long time, but seeing that Song Yu was angry but couldn't bear to hit him, she smiled and said, "I'm too tired today and I don't have any strength at all."

"W-what's wrong with you?"

"So many exotic beasts are high-level," Wu Lingjiu looked at Song Yu, his skin looking even paler due to the excessive black pupils in his eyes. "Sister, my power is also limited."

Song Yu was speechless. "Your power is limited, why are you still here?"

Wu Lingjiu smiled and said, "I quietly saved my last bit of strength."

"Why do that?"

After saying that, Song Yu felt that he had asked a stupid question. Alien beasts and humans were originally in opposition, so there was nothing wrong with what he did for the alien beasts.

The mistake was that he shouldn't have come, and she shouldn't have seen him.

"My father's order." Wu Lingjiu smiled bitterly.

Song Yu suddenly had a strange thought. She asked, "Wu Lingjiu, can you please stop getting involved in the war between alien beasts and humans?"

"If I don't participate, will my sister lock me up here and come to see me every day?"

"..." Song Yu didn't know for a moment whether he was expecting or mocking her, but his eyes were indeed full of expectation, and she nodded.

Wu Lingjiu slowly shook his head, "No, I have to listen to my father."

"I thought that even though the war between alien beasts and humans was intense, not every mermaid had to participate. You have your cities and palaces, and there are certainly many people living normal lives. Of course, not every royal family member had to participate in the war. Why can't you be the one who doesn't participate?"

Wu Lingjiu suddenly raised half of his body. Although his arms were shaking, he still looked at Song Yu steadily, his eyes full of sadness.

"Because if I don't obey, you will die."

"What?" Song Yu didn't understand.

"If I don't listen to my father, you will die." Wu Lingjiu repeated.

"How is this possible?" Song Yu still didn't understand. "Your father may be powerful, but I'm just a commoner in the Interstellar Empire. I've only been noticed in the last few months. Your father wouldn't target me."

"Yes." Wu Lingjiu lowered his eyes, "I've seen it."

"see?"

Wu Lingjiu nodded.

Could it be that the Mermaid King is some kind of prophet?

Wu Lingjiu suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, if one day I don't listen to my father and you can still survive, then I will never return to Moya Star and I will follow you."

Song Yu was even tempted for a moment, but then he shook his head, "Why are you following me? You've indirectly killed so many people. You'll be killed immediately when you get to the Interstellar Empire."

"How can I be killed so easily?" Wu Lingjiu said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here. Or maybe I'm right next to you. Find a place where no one can see me, no one can feel me, hide me, and then tell everyone outside that I'm dead. All you have to do is come visit me occasionally, okay?"

He seemed to be really imagining the future. Being locked up and waiting for Song Yu to come to see him every day seemed to be a very happy thing.

"Okay, don't regret it."

"How could I regret it?" Wu Lingjiu was very happy, and his face looked better. "Sister, you must remember this. Also, don't stay away from me for so long. I won't take you away without permission again. I know I was wrong. Here, this is my compensation to you."

A blue fish scale appeared in his hand.

"Every mermaid's scales cannot be regenerated. I tore off this piece, at this location," he pointed to a piece on his thigh, "and scales will never grow again. But it's very beautiful and glows at night. You'll like it."

Song Yu raised her hand and then lowered it again. Vigilance and heartache kept tearing each other apart in her heart. "You..."

"Take it. It's all down now. You can't put it back."

Song Yu took it and said, "You can rest here for a while. I'll ask them to bring you some fish."

"Okay." Wu Lingjiu was very happy.
