After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

The other shore flower raised an eyebrow, saying playfully, "I have no obligation to tell you, Judge. Why are you so eager to know my identity?"

Leng Ran's heart skipped a beat. How perceptive the other shore flower was! Sure enough, none of the three high priests were easy to deal with.

With an unwavering expression, Leng Ran met the gaze of the other shore flower calmly: "Naturally, it's to ensure you're capable of supporting my mission. Don't forget, this is the order of the divine messenger."

The red spider lily carefully observed Leng Ran's expression, and seeing that the boy in front of her did not change his expression at all, she finally put her suspicions aside.

The priests chosen by the divine messenger should be absolutely loyal; she was just being paranoid.

"I have the ability to support your actions; you just need to know that." The tone of the other shore flower became light again. "Tell me, what kind of help do you need right now?"

"Eight Desolations is good. Get me one, something discreet, and mail it to the He family." Leng Ran deliberately posed a difficult question. "Can you do that?"

The latest weapon developed by Storm Military Academy has not yet entered mass production.

Leng Ran wanted to know if there were any Illuminati influences within the military academy.

“No problem, give me a week.” The other shore flower agreed without hesitation, then tossed a metal badge to Leng Ran. “If you need any other weapons, take this and go to the underground casino in the eighth block to get them.”

"Now, do you still have any doubts about my abilities?"

While secretly alarmed, Leng Ran said in a cold voice, "Not bad, keep it up."

The woman poured herself some more red wine, raised her glass to Leng Ran, and said, "Take care, don't bother seeing me out."

Leng Ran returned to the He family home with a heavy heart, carrying a box of strawberry milk from the supermarket. She saw Mrs. Zhao and He Xiting waiting anxiously at the door.

Zhao Lemei: "Ali, where have you been playing? Why are you so late?"

He Xiting put his arm around Leng Ran's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Where did you go? Take your brother with you next time."

Leng Ran ignored He Xiting: "Mother, I was having dinner with senior students from the Technology Academy of Storm Military Academy, and it's getting late."

Zhao Lemei felt relieved after hearing this: "Next time, come back earlier. Storm Star isn't very safe lately. Another Bloodskin Disease patient escaped tonight, and we haven't caught them yet."

Leng Ran was taken aback: "What?"

He Xiting took a box of strawberry milk from Leng Ran and handed it to the housekeeper Jiu Jiu, asking her to deliver the milk to Leng Ran's room.

"Yes, tonight, a patient with scaly disease attacked passersby in the fourth district and then fled. It is said that the nearby hospital failed to keep an eye on the person and he escaped. Dad is still at the military headquarters dealing with this matter."

Another Bloodskin Patient... Has the area covered by the Holy Water expanded beyond just the Chaotic Zone?

Could Stormstar become the origin of a second apocalypse?

-----------------

Capital Star, headquarters of Longtian Group.

As the largest conglomerate in the Federation, Longtian Group has close cooperation with the military and provides substantial financial support, which has earned it great respect and a prestigious status.

A bright young woman in a violet dress, accompanied by a cool-looking young man in a white suit, strode into the top-floor office.

"Young Miss! Young Master!" People on both sides stepped aside and bowed in greeting.

A bright young girl stood before an elderly man with white hair, her short, fiery red hair and eyes seemingly born from flames.

The aloof young man stood two steps behind her, his black hair cascading down, his pale purple eyes holding a hint of detachment.

The old man, with his back to them, looked out at the night view: "Yingying, Che'er, you've come."

Long Ying frowned: "Grandpa, what happened with the Storm Star Security Department?"

The old man turned around and slowly walked up to Long Ying, his dark red eyes looking at her seriously: "Yingying, this is not something you should know. Trust your grandfather, don't touch it, don't investigate."

Long Ying was inherently rebellious. Although she agreed on the surface, she secretly wanted to find out more about it.

Grandpa Long clearly understood his granddaughter's rebelliousness and looked at Long Che, who was acting as a background figure.

Long Che has no blood relation to the Long family, but he is a secret weapon that he specially left for Long Ying.

"Che'er, you must keep a close eye on your sister and not let her take over this matter."

Long Che nodded: "Understood."

Long Ying complained, "Grandpa, you've had Che'er spy on me again."

“As the last bloodline of Long Tian and the only young lady, you will be taking my place in the future.” Grandpa Long sighed. “You insisted on going to the Capital Military Academy to become a mecha soldier, and I went along with it. But on this matter, this old man cannot give in anymore.”

"Yingying, you will never be able to go to the battlefield. As the last bloodline of the Long family, go back to the capital planet and live a peaceful life. Grandpa has found a few marriage partners for you. I will send them to you tomorrow."

Long Ying felt sorrow in her heart. She was an excellent mecha soldier, but she could not escape the shackles called family. Was she destined to be trapped in the prison of the capital star?

No... she doesn't want to accept her fate yet.

She refuses to accept her fate!

"Mo Li, you've all met that kid. He's a promising candidate for army commander. Try to win him over," Grandpa Long said earnestly. "If you like him, I can also add him to the marriage alliance list."

Seeing that Long Ying hadn't reacted for a long time, Long Che understood and took over the conversation: "She's a very capable person, Grandpa, don't worry, we're already trying to win her over."

Grandpa Long coughed a few times: "Good children, go back and rest. Grandpa is tired too."

Long Ying looked at her grandfather, who had returned to his bedroom, with concern. She hesitated, but when she saw Long Che's questioning gaze, she turned and left.

After leaving the company building and boarding the hovercar surrounded by bodyguards, Long Ying cried silently.

She didn't want an arranged marriage or to inherit the family fortune. She loved mecha and wanted to become a free mecha soldier stationed on the front lines.

Long Che silently handed him a pack of tissues, but Long Ying grabbed his sleeve.

"Che'er, if... if we were all ordinary people, what would things be like now?"

Long Che's eyes dimmed: "Sister, there are no 'what ifs.' We have never had the right to choose."

At least, his fate was sealed from the moment he was created.

Meanwhile, at the Ninth Military Region's garrison base.

He Yuanyang's face was filled with weariness. Following Beck, a patient with blood scaly disease, Storm Star had also seen a blood scaly patient with self-awareness.

Zou Lun, age 30, physical fitness level 3, no mental strength.

Two years ago, he joined the security department of the Storm Star branch of Longtian Group. Tonight, while on patrol, a strange thing happened. He killed two of his teammates and fled.

The military only learned of the incident after the body was discovered; the suspect had been on the run for some time and was difficult to locate.

The fourth district is a commercial area with many high-rise buildings, making it inconvenient for the military to use mechs. Therefore, the military could only completely seal off the fourth district and dispatch ten elite teams to conduct a thorough search of the district.

Zou Lun is suspected of retaining self-awareness and possessing certain counter-surveillance capabilities after undergoing security training at Longtian Group.

In addition, the other party was wearing "Gray Mist"—a device that shields against mental energy detection. It was very common in the interstellar era, so much so that the search has yielded no results so far.

Allowing such a dangerous individual to roam the business district could very well lead to a third victim.

Thinking about this, He Yuanyang became restless, but he really had no effective solution.

Cao Yike, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Military Region, ordered the liaison officer: "Request the military headquarters to send members of the special operations forces."

The liaison officer quickly relayed the request to the military headquarters, and two minutes later, a reply was received—"Mighty Man," a member of the Lingyun Army, would support the Ninth Military Region and participate in this special operation.
