Within the borders of the Star Glory Empire, in a certain comrcial apartnt, the silent corridor hung with highly post-modernist paintings, and the carpet on the floor was cleaned immaculately.
"Would anyone really like these paintings that are just a few lines casually sared together?" Li Yu complained inwardly. He stopped in front of a door and knocked lightly.
Thump, thump, thump!
The Third Forerunner's eyes slightly condensed, his gaze locked onto the main door. He seed to have sensed who was knocking.
"Co in..." His voice contained a trace of trembling that he didn't even notice himself.
The door was pushed open. Li Yu, bearing a smile, walked straight in, sizing up his surroundings at the sa ti: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so austere. I thought you would live in a more high-end place."
"I stopped caring about these external environnts a long ti ago." The Third Forerunner cald his emotions. Ever since he guessed that Li Yu had intentionally let him go, just to be safe, he had stayed on this planet the whole ti.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the other party ca knocking.
He had used various thods to examine his entire body, and even constructed an Information State Field completely isolated from the outside.
But unexpectedly, the other party still found his traces.
This was within his expectations, yet also beyond his expectations. It was a very contradictory ntality that he couldn't describe.
It was like making extrely ample preparations for a certain matter, but the thing you least wanted to see still happened.
"You intentionally let go, wanting to use to fish out the organization. Unfortunately... your combat power is no longer a secret now." The Third Forerunner shook his head. He knew it would be very difficult for him to escape now.
But his words unavoidably carried so sarcasm, after all, the other party's plan didn't succeed.
And to avoid accidents, he didn't head to any known Outlying bases of The Forerunners, which could be considered leaving the other party Gained Nothing.
"My combat power..." Li Yu's eyes shifted slightly.
That battle in the Ancient Starpath wasn't a secret.
The Terror Lifeforms had leaked so information to the outside world. Although that information had absolutely no other evidence to corroborate it, right now basically no one ntioned it anymore.
If the Third Forerunner spent ti to investigate, he indeed could find out.
However, even if he believed it, at most he would just think that Li Yu had borrowed the power of other Super Lifeforms, and it shouldn't be counted as his own combat power.
To deal with him, it was obviously impossible to have a Super Lifeform help. Then his current appearance of not preparing to resist beca interesting.
"So you are preparing to surrender without putting up a fight now..." Li Yu changed the subject.
"Since Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign can already forcefully contend against a Super Lifeform, why toy with ?" The Third Forerunner's tone was flat.
"Forcefully contend against a Super Lifeform, is this the information you learned?" Li Yu keenly captured more information from this sentence.
This conclusion absolutely couldn't have been drawn from the information of the battle in the Ancient Starpath.
Because the news the Terror Lifeforms could spread outwards was that he had killed a Super Lifeform, and simultaneously caught the Fallen Titan.
It was absolutely not sothing that could be summarized by the phrase "forcefully contend against a Super Lifeform."
And during this period, his relevant battle record seed to only be against that foreign Super Lifeform.
That battle, only the two of them knew about, as well as Loyd and the others afterwards.
It was impossible for him to leak it himself, and the probability of Loyd and the others leaking it was also extrely small. So that ant, it was that foreign Super Lifeform?
He had hooked up with The Forerunners?
Through a series of deductions, Li Yu produced this conclusion inwardly.
If that guy really hooked up with The Forerunners, then The Forerunners' bizarre actions recently seed to have an explanation.
These two guys definitely Shared Bad Tastes and hit it off imdiately.
The Third Forerunner didn't know that his casual remark had leaked so much information.
Mainly, the Leader of The Forerunners' relay was too vague, and to avoid accidents he didn't dare to excessively contact the organization.
"Since you aren't preparing to resist, it just so happens to save so trouble." Li Yu remained impassive. He pulled out a tal Cage from who knows where and directly tossed the Third Forerunner inside.
And after the Third Forerunner entered, he suddenly realized a large portion of his abilities had been suppressed, almost making it difficult to mobilize them.
What was even more bizarre was that he couldn't read the relevant Information State of this Cage.
Every object has its own Information State, which is its interaction with this Universe.
Even products of dinsional worlds would have so.
Except for Super Lifeforms. They could autonomously withdraw their Information State, cutting off their connection with the Universe, making any prediction, Curse, or similar abilities unable to affect them.
But this Cage was just an inanimate object, it couldn't possibly be a Titan Artifact level item, right.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly he saw Li Yu raise his Smart Terminal, seemingly having received so ssage.
"Their actions are quite swift..." Li Yu muttered a couple of tis, then looked at the Third Forerunner again, saying: "Actually, you staying here the whole ti really saved quite a bit of trouble."
Even if he could locate the Third Forerunner's coordinates, if this guy ran to so Hidden Corners, he would still need to spend so ti to catch him.
But since the other party had been staying on this planet all along, it saved a lot of ti.
"What do you an?" The Third Forerunner frowned, vaguely feeling sothing was amiss.
He saw Li Yu's unhurried and unruffled appearance, without the slightest trace of anger from his plan failing, which made his mind very uneasy.
"You intentionally releasing , just what was it for?" he couldn't help but ask.
To avoid causing greater losses to the organization, he hadn't taken any action during this ti.
Having no actions ant he wouldn't make mistakes.
Yet Li Yu wasn't the least bit disappointed, and even said it saved him a lot of trouble. What kind of reasoning was this.
"You guess..."
As Li Yu spoke, his physique constantly changed; his appearance, skin color, and pupil shape were all constantly transforming.
Finally, the Third Forerunner's face tightened, because Li Yu had unexpectedly transford into his original appearance.
"You want to use my Identity to infiltrate the organization?"
He finally understood what was going on.
Releasing him was just to tell The Forerunners that the Third Forerunner had run away.
Otherwise, if he was locked up in the Star Glory Empire's prison the whole ti, he definitely wouldn't be able to use his Identity to infiltrate The Forerunners.
"You can't possibly succeed!" he said categorically: "You can't imitate the organization's various codes, verification asures, and even my abilities."
Appearance mimicry was still sowhat useful in so Low-Tier Organizations.
But any organization with a bit of Prestige had various detection equipnt. Appearance mimicry couldn't possibly pass.
"That doesn't require your concern..." Li Yu shook his head, grabbed the tal Cage, and directly vanished from this place.
………
The Kukla Star System didn't belong to any civilization, and it hadn't birthed a civilization itself either.
When the adventurer nad Kukla discovered it, the only Life Planet in the Star System only had so Primitive Organisms.
The geographical location here was remote, with almost no large rchant guilds or shipping lanes passing through.
However, because the natural environnt could already be rated as a Class 1 planet, it was valued by so wanderers who built a Base here.
As long as one didn't pursue an excessively luxurious life and supporting service facilities, surviving anywhere was actually the sa.
This planet had no starport; warships docked directly on the Ground.
A large number of soldiers wearing grey, old combat uniforms, covering themselves tightly from head to toe, completely surrounded the warships.
They advanced and retreated orderly, moving almost silently, clearly having undergone strict training.
Keller led her executives down from the warship, looking around with a scrutinizing and assessing gaze.
"Blood Demon rcenary Corps?" soone asked in a deep voice.
"Are you blind? Can't you see the Legion Emblem?" Keller reprimanded unceremoniously.
The other party didn't mind and continued asking: "Have the goods all been transported here?"
"They are all on that Transport Ship. Go inspect them yourself." she said impatiently.
That guy who seed to be the commander waved his hand, and imdiately people headed towards the Transport Ship.
"I heard that inside the A-Tier Alliance, they intercepted you in the Hyst Star Corridor. How did you resolve it?" he inquired further.
Although the traces of battle had been erased, the Star Glory Empire had issued an assistance investigation notice within the A-Tier Alliance, so quite a few people knew.
"Are you sure you have the qualifications to question ?" Keller's tone was unkind, a dangerous Aura exuding from her body.
"We just want to ensure nothing goes wrong." A sharp Aura erupted, making Keller's expression slightly solemn.
The crowd before them made way, and a Black Goat man walked out. The horns on his head were styled like a slicked-back hairstyle, shining brightly.
"Just what do you an? Don't want to pay the money?" Keller questioned.
"Your Excellency's remuneration won't be short a single cent, as long as you resolve our doubts." The pitch-black pupils emitted a chilling Aura.
He had already confird that there were no pursuers behind the other party.
But the branch base in the Hyst Star Corridor had been purged.
This rcenary Corps used to temporarily transfer resources was even intercepted by the Star Glory Empire using the power of A-Tier Lifeforms, yet they ultimately retreated unscathed.
This couldn't help but make them suspicious.
"It's because of ..." a voice ca from who knows where.
Suddenly, he noticed the expression of this interstellar woman before him beco extrely blank, her pupils dilating, and her body stiffening.
Imdiately after, another figure walked down from the Spaceship, slowly lifting a black cloth robe at the sa ti.
"Lord Third Forerunner!"
The Black Goat's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but say in shock: "You... how could you be here?"
"I escaped from the Star Glory Empire. To avoid implicating the organization, I transferred multiple tis, and happened to encounter the branch base being purged in the Hyst Star Corridor." The Third Forerunner's tone was indifferent:
"I originally wanted to hitch a ride with this rcenary Corps to leave, but was intercepted halfway. Since this fleet seed to be carrying resources needed by the organization, I could only kill all those interceptors."
"So that's how it is..." The other party didn't have the slightest suspicion, and even said excitedly: "I heard before that you had escaped. I didn't expect to be able to see you here."
Only if one suspected the other party would they make the other party undergo various verifications.
But the existence of the [Black Widow] made the other party fundantally unable to generate this kind of suspicion.
As long as there wasn't an obvious external paradox that shattered this thought similar to a cognitive Curse, the other party wouldn't beco suspicious.
For example, if two Third Forerunners appeared.
"Li Yu intentionally let out to make the organization reveal its flaws, but... I naturally have my ways to escape his tracking." The Third Forerunner nodded, then questioned unceremoniously:
"According to the information I found after coming out, not long ago the organization suffered a heavy loss. It should be lying Dormant right now, so why did it suddenly start large-scale operations again?"
"This..." The Black Goat said helplessly: "My Lord, I don't know what's going on either."
"Originally, a Lie Dormant order was indeed issued, but not even ten days had passed before the organization suddenly issued many tasks again, telling us to collect various precious resources and minerals."
"And it's at all costs."
He didn't know either. This didn't exceed Li Yu's expectations. After all, the other party should just be the person in charge of a branch base, his Status wasn't high.
He was only responsible for operations and didn't know the reasons.
"I can't contact the Leader for the ti being. Where are you planning to transport these resources to? I'll follow along with you," the Third Forerunner said as a matter of course.
"You also can't contact the Leader?" The Black Goat was sowhat surprised, then said quite anxiously: "The Leader didn't appear at the last regular eting either. No one in the organization can contact the Leader, don't know what happened."
His concern wasn't fake, but he was genuinely worried about the disappearance of the Leader of The Forerunners.
"Hmm?"
Li Yu, disguised as the Third Forerunner, was sowhat surprised. This was originally just an excuse he casually made up; he didn't expect The Forerunners' Leader had actually disappeared.
"I understand. Prepare to evacuate from here. I killed several A-Tier Lifeforms, the Star Glory Empire should be able to trace it here very soon." Li Yu ordered.
"Understood..." The Black Goat nodded, then looked at Keller, who had a blank expression and seed to have completely lost her sanity, and said: "Then how should she be handled?"
"I'll handle it..." Li Yu raised his hand. Without feeling any Energy Fluctuation, Keller suddenly exploded directly, turning into a puddle of bloody water flowing on the Ground.
The Black Goat's expression was calm, not surprised at all by this, and quickly organized his personnel to evacuate the place.
Soon, they finished packing up. Transport Ships lifted off one after another, spewing blue flas, and entered the Jump Channel, leaving this planet.
And that puddle of bloody water that had already seeped into the Surface gradually condensed into Keller's figure again.
She twisted her neck, emitting a Skeletal Popping sound. Looking at the sky, she couldn't help but mutter: "It's just acting, why put so much effort into it..."
Imdiately after, she turned and walked into the already opened Dinsional Rift.
