Evolution of Beyond the Stars Volume 1: The Beginning of Eden o1214 Ten Days After the Great Banquet.
When Bai Li woke up, she couldn't remember anything that had happened. It was as if she had suddenly had a dream. Now that she woke up from the dream, she had forgotten everything.
The Bai family did not delve into where Bai Li had been in the past ten days, but only strengthened the guard force around Bai Wenshu and others.
As for Zhang Yi, he is now more silent than before.
In the past, when I met Bai Li, I would chat with him for a few words, but now, except for necessary answers, he will never say any unnecessary "nonsense".
As for the reason... of course it has something to do with what happened that night.
The mysterious intruder who suddenly appeared seemed to be heading for Bai Li, and successfully took away Bai Li's neuron core.
But in fact, their target should be Zhang Yi, and it was just to test Zhang Yi's authenticity.
This attempt chilled Zhang Yi's heart.
…
"Brother, I have checked all the people you asked me to check for you, and I will have the core sent to you in the afternoon... But there is something I need to tell you in advance, and you have to be mentally prepared."
Zhang Yi probably guessed it too.
"Um……"
"That...Sister Lilin...is actually the arbiter."
Zhang Yi's heart trembled and he didn't speak for a long time.
"elder brother?"
"Hmm...I understand. Just be careful and don't let anyone show up."
"Well, don't worry, brother."
…
After the communication was interrupted, Zhang Yi walked out of the room and suddenly felt discouraged.
He frowned and looked at the sky.
It's obviously a private estate, but the weather system is set to random mode... These guys... since they want something purely natural, why not just lift the dome.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi smiled coldly, then turned around and ran to the tarmac.
When they arrived at the place, Bai Li and the other two guards had also arrived, and now only Bai Manjusri was left.
Bai Li was very happy to see Zhang Yi and wanted to say something, but seeing Zhang Yi's cold face, Bai Li didn't dare to ask any more questions.
I waited in silence for half an hour.
Zhang Yi suddenly asked Bai Li next to him: "Where are you going today, Miss?"
Bai Li was startled when he heard this, and then replied: "Well... I heard that I am going to the Saint Gaia Assembly Hall."
"Great Hall? There's another speech?"
"Um."
"Well... that's good. I have free time again." Zhang Yi smiled.
Bai Li also smiled, but her smile was very stiff.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
After a while, Bai Wenshu arrived at the tarmac accompanied by the butler.
When passing by Zhang Yi, I glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, did not look sideways and stood upright.
…
It's that bar again, but today the bar door is closed.
Zhang Yi stood in front of the door for a while, then turned and left.
We walked along the street for a long time until we came out of the street and came to a hanging garden.
From here you can overlook the entire Saint Gaia Cathedral and the surrounding area... Although according to the season, it is spring outside the dome, the surroundings of the Saint Gaia Cathedral are golden.
Garden designers who prefer autumn scenery designed the overall style of the Santa Gaia Assembly Hall to be old-fashioned, which matches the autumn scenery very well.
Zhang Yi also prefers autumn, but the artificial autumn is still a bit weird, especially since it is raining lightly in the sky garden where he is now, and the surroundings are full of greenery. The contrast is really big.
Looking quietly at the Saint Gaia Assembly Hall, a hooded man walked up to Zhang Yi.
He said nothing and looked quietly in the direction of the Great Hall.
After a while, he said: "Why did you suddenly change your plan?"
He turned his face sideways, and it was the young master of the Nie family, Nie Renhuan.
Zhang Yi didn't look at him, and looked at the scenery in the distance silently, as if thinking about something.
When Nie Renhuan saw that he was silent, he added: "If you do this, if they find out, it will not do you or me any good."
Zhang Yi heard this and then asked: "Then can you help me?"
Nie Ren laughed happily and sneered.
"Help, why don't you help." Nie Renhuan said, taking out a numerical core from his pocket and handing it to Zhang Yi, saying: "Zhang Xuan asked me to hand it over to you."
Zhang Yi didn't answer, he no longer needed to look so carefully.
"You can keep it, it will be more useful to you, right?"
Nie Renhuan was stunned for a moment, then put away the sequence core.
"It's quite useful, but...even if I want to help you, how should I help you?"
Zhang Yidao: "If they want to set up 'Hong Yan', then we will just do it obediently, but... we can't let them go so smoothly."
Nie Renhuan's eyes moved, and then he asked: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Yi lowered his eyes, looked at the sequence core in Nie Renhuan's hand and said: "Aren't they planning to replace all those who are disobedient and have unclean backgrounds into obedient puppets? Then pinch some of the threads on our
It’s ready in hand.”
Nie Renhuan understood and nodded: "Then what?"
"Then...I need Turaya."
Nie Renhuan's eyes were filled with surprise when he heard this.
"This...I can't help you at the moment."
"Why?"
"Cui Jingrui is missing. We can't find him for the time being."
"Isn't there still Oakham? He has enough resources." Zhang Yi is not worried about this.
But Nie Renhuan said: "Occam...the power behind him is very strong. If you touch him, you may cause big trouble."
Zhang Yi smiled: "Are you someone who is afraid of trouble?"
Nie Renhuan shook his head.
"Then do you think I am?"
Nie Renhuan didn’t say anything
After talking, he understood.
"Three days." Nie Renhuan was very confident.
Zhang Yi nodded, then looked towards the St. Gaia Assembly Hall and said: "The wind is blowing."
"Um……"
"The wind is blowing..." Zhang Yi suddenly smiled as he spoke, then patted Nie Renhuan on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving first."
…
After returning to Bai Wenshu's manor in the evening, Zhang Yi practiced at the training ground as usual.
Bai Gun still hasn't applied for an independent numerical training ground for Zhang Yi, and has no plans to do so. However, he occasionally comes to watch Zhang Yi's training.
But he didn't come tonight. It is said that his wife gave birth to a baby and he wanted to go back to celebrate.
Zhang Yi has not heard news of the birth of a newborn for a long time.
The same applies even to the free people...
After exercising for a period of time, Zhang Yi, who was sweating profusely, lay on the ground and exhaled heavily.
Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching from far away.
The voice is neither urgent nor slow.
"Why are you locking all the auxiliary components? Uncle? Isn't it tiring for you to train like this?"
When Zhang Yi heard the word "uncle", he knew who was coming.
It seems that I didn't go to the bar entrance during the day for nothing.
When I got up and took a look, it turned out to be Qin Ke, and she also brought a bottle of Azuna.
"Would you like a drink?" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Yi with a smile.
Zhang Yi also laughed.
…
"Uncle, do you want to go to the bar to meet me during the day?" After drinking two drinks, Qin Ke's face turned red and she plucked up the courage to ask.
Zhang Yi and she sat side by side on the edge of a high platform in the training ground. Hearing such questions, he just nodded lightly.
Qin Ke's face turned even redder. She sat upright and asked, "Then... uncle... why are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yi smiled, raised his glass and showed it to Qin Ke: "Of course it's for drinking."
Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, then made a sound and said angrily: "You men are really all big pigs!"
"Big pig's hooves?" Zhang Yi was stunned, obviously not understanding the metaphor.
Qin could see his confused look and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Besides... I feel like I'm destined to be with you, so I came here to say goodbye to you." Qin Ke said it casually, but her face turned red when she said these words.
.
Zhang Yi could see clearly, but he was more concerned about what Qin Ke said.
"Goodbye? Where are you going?"
Qin Ke looked up at the dome and waved his hand, then closed his eyes and said: "It's very far... very far... very far away!"
Zhang Yi smiled: "How far is far?"
After Qin Ke finished speaking, he opened his eyes, looked at the dome blankly, put his hands behind his back, and said nothing.
Zhang Yi was a little strange and asked: "What's wrong?"
Qin Ke's eyes suddenly turned red and he almost shed tears.
Zhang Yi's heart tightened when he saw this. Although he had only met this girl twice, he didn't feel a wave of heartache.
That feeling was too strong... It was like... he and Qin Ke... hadn't seen each other for many years... but their memories had forgotten all the past...
Qin Ke glanced at Zhang Yi from the corner of his eye, then hurriedly gathered his thoughts, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly: "It's not that far away...it's only forty-nine years."
Forty-nine years?!
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
He knew that Qin was a reserve member of the Interstellar Army, and when he thought about the recent global talent recruitments... it seemed that the Interstellar Army, which had been "inactive" for many years, was really going to start a long voyage.
So Zhang Yi smiled: "Well, forty-nine years... In the past, this would have been most of a lifetime... But now people can live to be one or two hundred years old, so these forty-nine years... are indeed not long.
Too far."
Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Yi blankly, and then smiled: "Yeah! I'll just say it."
Zhang Yi poured another glass of wine for Qin Ke, and then asked: "Then... when will you come out?"
Qin Ke's smile faded, and he looked at Zhang Yi vigilantly and said, "What are you doing? Uncle...don't you want it?"
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Forget it if you don't say it."
Qin Ke was anxious: "Oh! Uncle, you are so boring! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Zhang Yili was amused: "If it's not interesting, then it's not interesting. I know it's a secret, and you can't tell it."
Indeed...Qin Ke can't say.
She shouldn't even come to see Zhang Yi to say anything else, not to mention that she and Zhang Yi only met twice and only exchanged a few words.
She came today to verify something before leaving.
"Huh! Bad guy! Bully!" Qin Ke curled his lips and turned around angrily.
Zhang Yi was amused by her, and something in his heart was touched. He said: "But, even if you can't tell me, I will salute the sky every day, just as... to see you off.
I wish you a triumphant return!"
Qin Ke was stunned when she heard the words, and her newly suppressed feelings showed signs of bursting out again. She subconsciously clenched her fists and said softly: "What a bad guy..."
Zhang Yi didn't hear clearly: "Huh? What did you just say?"
Qin Ke turned around, looked at Zhang Yi with a cold face and said: "It's nothing, I compliment you on your handsomeness!"
Zhang Yi touched his face and said a little shyly: "Really? I know this."
Qin Ke grinned when he heard this: "Hey!! Uncle, you are so shameless!!"
Zhang Yi laughed and then raised his glass and said, "Okay, now, this glass of wine will be for you!"
Qin Ke also became serious. She sighed secretly, raised her wine glass and said, "Thank you, uncle! I will treat you to a drink when I return in triumph!"
"Okay! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
…
Qin Ke left. When he left, he did not explain why he came today, nor did he ask Zhang Yi a word.
The same goes for Zhang Yi...it's clear that deep down in his heart
Curious, the feeling is real, but no words are spoken.
…
Every day since then, Zhang Yi has indeed formed a habit of looking up at the southern sky and paying attention.
The reason why we chose the south is because you can reach the interstellar military base deep in the ocean from Percival all the way south. Presumably Qin Ke also embarked on his interstellar journey there.
In this way, Zhang Yi quietly advanced the process of Hong Yan while staying at the Bai family as a guard.
Until the time came to July 13, 136 years.
…
"Today? Are you too anxious?" Zhang Yi looked at the date and saw that it was a full four months ahead of schedule.
Wang Fugui said, "Brother Yi, don't you know?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Yi was good at pretending to be dumbfounded, and Wang Fugui didn't see through it at all.
Wang Fugui was speechless: "Li Boan was sent to the hospital."
Zhang Yi frowned: "Who?"
"Li Bo'an."
"Huh... What's the big deal if he's sent to the hospital? Who wouldn't get sick?"
Wang Fugui was even more speechless.
Zhang Yi also accepted the offer and said with a laugh: "Okay, I'm teasing you, I know about this."
Wang Fugui rolled his eyes at Zhang Yi and said, "Brother Yi, can you be more serious? We are discussing serious matters!"
"Ah, okay, okay, I get it. It's all my fault. But... so what if Li Boan will die after tonight? He is not the only one in the management of the Arbiter."
When Wang Fugui heard this, he said with an enigmatic expression: "Nonono, this is wrong, this is wrong, brother Yi!"
Zhang Yi chuckled: "Okay, Commander Wang, I know you are more capable than me, but I can ask you not to make such big detours in your speech in the future, okay? It makes me seem like I'm cheating on the word count with you."
"Ah? Why are you lying about the word count?"
"Here, look, I've lied about another twenty words, so hurry up and be serious. I don't want to explain." Zhang Yi was a little impatient.
Wang Fugui then said: "This matter must start from last year."
"ah?"
"Um... I'll keep it short! It was the time when Oakham was captured by the Arbiter."
"oh……"
"That incident was quite big. Although it looked like it was just a management oversight and the two executives acted recklessly, it became a good opportunity to defeat the arbiter in the eyes of many people," Wang Fugui said.
He pulled out the information of three people and continued: "Brother Yi, look, the arbiter was previously in charge of Li Bo'an, Han Kongwen and Minnie. But after last year's incident, Li Boan took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes, and Minnie
He doesn’t take charge much, so the entire arbiter has basically become the power of Han Kongwen alone.”
"Well..." Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Then what?"
"Then, the top management behind Xiao Qing couldn't sit still! They are all human supremacists. In their eyes, any dictatorship, or similar forces that may appear dictatorship, are threats! So they forced
Xiao Qing came forward and demanded that the arbiter be dismissed based on the situation."
Zhang Yi sneered when he heard this and said: "Isn't this just a dream? They have only been in power for a few days, and they can't sit still?"
Wang Fugui also smiled: "Who says it's not the case, but don't tell me, Xiao Qing actually came forward to discuss this matter with Han Kongwen, and clearly mentioned it at the fourth meeting of the Speaker of the House of Representatives a month ago
This matter was shelved as most of the House Speakers abstained from voting at the time."
"Abstain? Haha... Then Han Kongwen must be very angry, right?!" Zhang Yi smiled.
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Yi has seen it really clearly. Indeed, it stands to reason that it is beneficial for Han Kongwen that most Speakers of the House of Representatives abstain from voting, but their ambiguous attitude also shows that there may be
A yes vote next time would not bode well for the arbiter."
"Well... But even so, the arbitrator is still the same arbitrator. Even if Li Bo'an dies tomorrow and the rights in his hands are completely transferred, there will be no difference to us, right? What's more... on such a day,
Aren't you afraid that Li Boan's old men, especially Jin Yuan and Zhang Yu, will cause trouble for us?"
Wang Fugui said: "This is the trouble I want!"
Zhang Yi was shocked when he heard this, then frowned and said: "You don't really plan to kill a few arbiters to make a name for yourself, do you?"
Wang Fugui's face straightened: "Brother Yi, when doing big things, some sacrifices are inevitable. If everything goes according to plan, there will be no absolutely good time for us to choose. So... only if we take the initiative and cause trouble, can we
Make a name for yourself.”
After hearing this, Zhang Yi disagreed with Wang Fugui's remarks.
He said: "That's what I say... But if we don't know how to measure it, not to mention whether our reputation can attract enough forces to join us, we may be annihilated by the Arbiter before our power is formed!"
Wang Fugui smiled and said: "Brother Yi, don't worry. Since I said this, we are confident enough, and we don't need to make a big fuss. As long as we get to the key points and provoke the key people, we will have won half the battle."
!”
"Oh, what about the remaining half?" Zhang Yi asked.
Wang Fugui looked at Zhang Yi and said: "Of course, after the opening, I will ask you, Brother Yi, to replace Uncle Li as the number one talker, and then welcome the guests."
Zhang Yi understood. It seemed that the time was indeed ripe, but he still joked: "Why do I sound like an old bustard? Isn't this Hong Yan a smoky garden?"
Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Brother Yi, you are joking. I am just using a metaphor. However, there is a big difference between before and after the establishment of 'Hongyan'. Brother Yi, your role will become more and more obvious. How will we go from now on?"
, we all have to listen to you."
Zhang Yi also smiled, with a faint sneer.
"Well... when you say that... I'm still a little stressed... ha..."
