Lu Ye smiled slightly.

He knew it!

Why wasn't the reward given immediately after he left the island?

It's because the judgment of the task is not over.

That island is surrounded by the sea. At best it sounds like a resort, but at worst it sounds like a large prison.

Although Lu Ye boarded the boat off the island, he was still in the sea.

Only when he sees a new land can he truly escape.

Things will be easier to handle now.

He immediately opened the mall, scrolled down, and went from the permanent product page to the scheduled refresh page.

He chose [Chuangchuangzi].

【Do you want to buy?】

He clicked "Yes" and watched the entire 5,000 points clear instantly, feeling an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Is this what it feels like to buy, buy, buy?

The needle doesn't poke.

Now that we have our trump card, it’s time to go meet the colonel.

At this time, a soldier stopped him from behind.

"Mr. Lu, the colonel is looking for you."

"It should be about the ships heading to the East," Hawkins said, "Let's go quickly."

Lu Ye quietly winked at Violet.

The latter walked away towards the aisle on the side of the ship with understanding.

Luye followed the soldier to the colonel's room.

The soldier knocked on the door and left immediately.

"Enter."

A hoarse voice came from inside.

Luye pushed the door open and entered.

But this time there was no light on in the room, only a candle burning on the sandalwood table.

The firelight flickered, and the colonel was sitting on a chair holding a wine glass. Lu Ye could vaguely see the horrific scars on the side of his face.

"Are you drinking alone here without turning on the light?"

"The lights won't be turned on until you come," the colonel said.

"I remember you said that you would give me an irresistible reason to refuse." Lu Ye closed the door gently with his backhand.

"Come and sit down, weigh the pros and cons, and evaluate the risks. How do you think about it?" the colonel turned around and asked.

"Let me tell you the reason first. This will save time."

"Why, are you interrupting your time with that girl?"

"That's not true..."

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. Let's talk first. You won't refuse me." The colonel smiled.

"Tell me, the reason I can't refuse." Lu Ye was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

"It's ready. You'll know when you turn on the light," the colonel said thoughtfully. "The switch is on the wall to your left."

Lu Ye took a deep breath quietly.

Violet should be ready outside by this time, so that's no problem.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine the colonel, the old dog, was selling in his gourd.

Lu Ye reached out and pressed the switch on the wall.

The whole room lit up, filled with warm light.

But everything was still the same, the decoration, the arrangement of furniture... seemed no different from yesterday.

If I had to find something different, it would be that the wine the colonel drank tonight was different, it was brown wine.

If it weren't for the luxurious-looking wine bottle, Lu Ye would have thought it was medicinal wine or something.

"How about it, do you want a drink?"

"Forget it...let's go..."

Lu Ye suddenly stopped.

He felt a chill slowly creeping up his back.

The voice asking him if he wanted a drink just now did not come from the colonel in front of him... but from behind!

Someone was talking behind him with the exact same tone and tone as the colonel!!

Lu Ye slowly lowered his head and glanced down.

On the ground in front of him, there was not only one shadow, but two shadows overlapping each other.

Fear grew from the bottom of his heart like a vine, wrapping around his heart.

For a moment, he almost asked for help from Violet who was lurking outside, but he forced himself to hold back.

"Don't look back?" asked the colonel sitting on the chair.

Lu Ye slowly turned his head.

And behind him stood a figure.

It’s Colonel Osinlid!

There are two colonels in this room!!

What the hell is going on?

Lu Ye's brain was spinning rapidly.

twin?

substitute?

No, it's impossible, even the scars on their faces are exactly the same.

But he soon figured it out.

In order to guess what he was thinking, Lu Ye opened the panel and took a look.

Instead of observing his body data, he directly moved his gaze to the bottom line.

[Retrospective world progress: 50%], a direct increase of 35%.

No wonder the colonel said their interests were the same...it turned out to be the case.

Lu Ye let out a long breath, then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

The colonel turned his body this time, facing Lu Ye.

The colonel who was behind Lu Ye retreated into the shadows again.

"How is it, do you understand?" The colonel smiled.

"You have 'Star Spirit Fragments'..." Lu Ye said slowly.

"I don't know what the name is, but you seem to know it. It's true. You are an insider, so it will be easier to handle."

"How did you notice it?" Lu Ye asked.

"A few days ago, when I asked the pirate to kill you, I was at the scene and saw everything." The colonel said calmly.

The road suddenly opened up.

So that's it, everything makes sense.

The colonel not only observed the battle process, but also saw the scene when he took out the [Broken Blade] from the darkness...

At this time, the colonel took out a gold pocket watch from his arms. The style looked very old.

He opened the back of the pocket watch, and there was a space the size of a thumb inside.

Although this watch looks ordinary, its workmanship is definitely of the highest level.

Lu Yexin said that if he guessed correctly, there would also be a hidden switch under the dial of this pocket watch...

"It's just a gadget I asked someone to make when I was working in the Intelligence Department... Turn off the lights and you will see a dazzling scene."

The switch was turned off, the colonel extinguished the candle and pushed open the cover of the clock.

Suddenly, in the darkness, only the pure blue was floating.

Incomparably dreamy and incredibly beautiful.

It is only the size of a fingernail, but any precious jewelry in the world will be eclipsed by it.

Lu Ye's heart beat violently.

The rationality that as long as you get it you can return to the real world is gone.

At this moment, in Lu Ye's eyes, there was only the beauty of the star spirit fragments, and that pure purity.

The stars seemed within reach.

But this dreamlike scene only existed for a few seconds.

As the colonel pushed up the cover of his pocket watch, the room returned to darkness.

"How?" the colonel said in the darkness.

Lu Ye turned on the light and searched for the pocket watch, but the colonel had already put it away.

"How did you get it?"

"It was just an accident. You should be more interested in what happens next than this."

"All ears."

"'Star Spirit Fragment'... that's the right name. I don't know what it's called, so I'll just use what you call it." The colonel said, "More than thirty years ago, the world's situation was not so big at that time.

changes, the war has not yet begun, and the weapon called 'mecha' has not been released.

But the day I got the 'Star Spirit Fragment', everything changed. In just three months, a scientist who had never been famous before appeared in the north, and Verdon began to claim that they were developing a new type of weapon.

, warned Leyden to stop putting pressure on their economy..."

"That is to say..." Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes.
Chapter completed!
