From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

? !

Hearing this, Leon suddenly became alert.

He reacted quickly, instinctively reaching his right hand for the gun holster on his thigh, and quickly scanning his surroundings, checking everything around him——

Every dilapidated wall, every passing alien, and every seemingly harmless citizen.

The chaotic streets of this city seem to hide countless threats that may strike at any time.

Soon, Lyon discovered a detail.

At the corner behind the blind man, there stood a sloppy guy wearing heavy armor and with disheveled hair, with an obviously alert attitude.

The muzzle of the beam machine gun or small-caliber laser cannon in his hand seemed to be pointed slightly at Leon intentionally or unintentionally, and he exuded a threatening aura.

The man seemed nonchalant, but every inch of his muscle told Leon that he might be ready to open fire at any time.

Leon did not let his mind wander. He quickly turned around and fixed his sights on the blind man again.

The blind man still did not look back, but just stared calmly ahead, as if he was completely unaware that he was defined as a potential threat by Leon.

That kind of calmness and indifference made Lyon feel a little confused, but more of a vigilance.

"Young man," the blind man's voice was still calm and slow, as if he had not sensed the tension in the air:

"If you want to connect with the rebels"

Step, step!

Before he finished speaking, Leon no longer hesitated. He accelerated almost instantly and rushed to the blind man in two steps at a time.

The whole process was so fast that others had no time to react.

In that instant, he had taken out his pulse pistol and pointed the muzzle at the blind man's shoulder.

Moreover, Lyon's movements were swift and decisive. He was calm and threatening at the same time. Every step and every movement of his revealed his professional courage and determination.

Then, Leon slightly raised his left hand and lifted up his open jacket, cleverly concealing the presence of the pistol.

This action made the aliens and humans wandering around unaware of anything unusual.

Then, Leon's gaze suddenly turned to the sloppy guy who was still hiding in the corner.

Although the man also pointed the gun at Leon, he hesitated when faced with Leon's cold gaze.

Obviously, that person had not expected that this seemingly "ordinary" guy in front of him had such swift skills and reactions, and took control of the situation in an instant.

At this moment--

"If you don't want your guys to die tragically, just stand there and don't move." Leon said in a low voice.

"."

Seeing this, the sloppy guy really didn't dare to fire at will.

First, he was afraid of hurting his friends, and second, he understood that Leon’s strength should not be underestimated.

After all, being able to complete all these actions in the blink of an eye is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Finally, the man realized that the undisguised threat and murderous intent in Leon's eyes did not seem to be bluffing.

"Don't be nervous, Baze."

The blind man still had a smile on his face and spoke in a calm and slow tone.

It seemed that he had obviously noticed that the sloppy companion with the gun was a little uneasy, so he gestured and comforted him.

And the blind man's words seemed like warm sunshine, easing the heavy tension in the air.

Then, the blind man turned his blind eyes to Leon for the first time. The calmness and confidence revealed in them were hard to ignore.

“Young man, may the force be with you.” The blind man’s voice was steady, as if an invisible force was flowing through his words. “I know you have no ill intentions, so could you please put away your gun and let us have a good chat?”

The Force?

Hearing the key words, Leon frowned slightly.

According to the information provided by the Intelligence Department, the "Force" in the "One-Seven" universe is a supernatural, omnipresent mysterious force. It is an energy field created by all living things. It is also the key to the pursuit and reliance of both the "Jedi Knights" and the "Sith Lords".

The light side represents harmony, love and kindness, and is the force that maintains the balance of the universe;

The dark side represents destruction, fear and hatred, and is the force that destroys the order of the universe.

The Galactic Empire at this stage is controlled by the dark side.

In addition, the Intelligence Department also mentioned the "Midichlorian" files.

In the living organisms of the "One Seven" universe, there exists a microorganism called "midi-chlorian", and the amount of midi-chlorian in a person's body determines the size of his original force.

Intuition told Leon that the two people in front of him were not lackeys of the Galactic Empire, otherwise they would not be "hiding from place to place" or deliberately making themselves so sloppy.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the two people in front of us are spies of the Galactic Empire, who are specifically responsible for secretly monitoring the humans and aliens in the Holy City.

However, Leon did not relax his vigilance, but continued to lower his voice and said:

"What did you mean when you said 'you came to our world'?"

Leon's tone remained calm and steady, but the doubts in his heart spread like ripples.

"Literally." The blind man still smiled and said:

"You are not from our world, but you have a heart that yearns for light. I also know that you and your friends are looking for ways to contact the rebels in the city."

? ? ! !

Leon's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He did not reveal his identity, and even after entering the holy city, he once thought that his actions were secretive and he was secretly investigating everything around him.

However, the blind man in front of them seemed to know everything, even the purpose of their actions.

He couldn't help but be more cautious and gradually tightened the grip of the pulse pistol in his hand.

Although the blind man's smile and tone were not directly hostile, Leon had already sensed from every word he said that this conversation was most likely not a simple encounter.

The most important thing is that the blind man and the sloppy man in front of him might be members of a rebel force.

Perhaps, the other party's appearance may become the key to the mission.

In any case, this contact is related to whether it is possible to successfully contact the rebels in a short period of time, and even whether we can learn more about the truth of this world.

After some thought, Lyon finally lowered the muzzle of the gun and turned on the safety to avoid accidental discharge.

"You're smart, little brat."

The sloppy man named "Baze" also breathed a sigh of relief, although his words were full of ridicule and contempt, and he no longer aimed the heavy cannon at Leon, and casually lowered the muzzle, but Baze's eyes still revealed undisguised vigilance and alertness.

Leon glanced at the other person, ignored the "brat's" teasing, and continued to ask the blind man:

"Okay, now you can tell me what you know."

"certainly."

The blind man stretched out his right hand, with a calm and composed smile on his face:

"But you have to spend money to buy the information."

"."

Leon's expression froze slightly. This was undoubtedly a response he had not expected. It was as if he had been fooled by the other party.

Even so, he did not show a trace of anger, but remained silent and observed the blind man's expression and movements, analyzing quickly in his mind.

It seems

If you want to get useful information from the guy in front of you, you will have to pay a certain price.

Then, Leon did not respond immediately, but shared the current intelligence with the surrounding agents through holographic glasses and fed back his findings to his team.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to gain the upper hand in this "deal".

After all, Leon had been cheated several times when he was taking the investigator's "graduation exam" and had long since summed up the experience of bargaining.

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment——

Whoosh. Whoosh, whoosh~!

boom.!

Boom——!

Suddenly, a burst of intensive gunfire and explosions was heard from the streets in the distance, echoing throughout the holy city, and the air was filled with dust.

This sudden commotion directly broke the tranquility around them. Leon, the blind man, and Baze turned their heads almost at the same time to look at the source of the sound.

"young people"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The blind man stood up slowly, picked up an old laser crossbow, held the cane in his other hand, and walked forward steadily.

At this moment, his back seems to blend into the chaotic environment around him, as if even the hustle and bustle of the city cannot disturb his inner peace.

As the blind man walked, he turned around and looked at Leon with his lifeless eyes, and said meaningfully:

"Let's go, it's time to make contact with the rebels."

Leon did not respond immediately, but he always felt that the other party seemed to have foreseen what was about to happen.

Bates completely ignored all of this, as if he was already familiar with the surrounding environment, and stepped forward. At the end, he did not forget to throw a not-so-polite reminder to Leon:

"Kid, follow me."

Although the sloppy man's tone was a bit rude, there was no hostility in it.

"."

This made Leon smile calmly. He shrugged his shoulders, tightened his pulse pistol in his hand again, quickened his pace and followed the two towards the area where the fierce battle broke out.

It won't take long.

The three of them went against the "countercurrent" crowd and came to a crossroads.

The scene before them caused the three men's pace to pause momentarily, their eyes fixed on the melee ahead.

With his keen observation of the battlefield, Lyon quickly found a broken low wall to serve as a cover, and brought Bates and the Blind Man behind the cover.

Then, Lyon carefully stuck his head out from the cover and observed the situation ahead.

In the distance, dozens of "white soldiers" were engaged in fierce fighting with the rebels.

These guys are dressed in white armor that has a "toy texture" but is quite sturdy, and are equipped with high-energy laser weapons and various sophisticated equipment.

But the weapons and equipment of the "White Soldiers" did not seem to play a decisive role in the city streets full of ruins and blood.

The rebels wore a variety of motley clothing and armor, and their weapons ranged from simple laser guns to crude explosives.

Even so, the rebels are fighting against the empire's "white soldiers" with their flexible tactics and unexpected ambushes.

Or the Imperial Stormtroopers engaged in a desperate fight.

In the center of the firefight, an Imperial tracked armored vehicle had been successfully destroyed by the rebels, the vehicle body was almost blown into ruins, and a large number of corpses were scattered around.

Among them were the bodies of both Imperial soldiers and some members of the Rebel Army.

The rebel members increased their firepower at this moment to allow their companions to take the opportunity to snatch the Kyber crystals carried by the armored vehicles.

Fire and thick smoke spread everywhere, and occasionally a bomb exploded, shaking the entire block.

The smoke and dust caused by the collapsed objects partially blocked the view, but Lyon could still see clearly that the rebels were gradually gaining the upper hand by relying on unexpected sneak attacks and skilled coordination.

Moreover, he discovered that there were two "outsiders" who seemed to be involved in this sudden battle.

Just when the situation was tense, David's question came from Leon's built-in earphones:

"Sir, do you need us to intervene?"

"No need." Leon responded to David, following the two "outsiders" who were trying to leave the battle area, and at the same time, he did not forget to instruct all the agents:

"Continue to remain in your respective latent states and do not reveal your identities at will."

"Yes, sir."

Ri~whoosh whoosh whoosh——!!

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, reinforcements from the Imperial Stormtroopers poured into the battle area like a tide.

And in this chaos, a "small" mecha gradually appeared -

That was the AT-ST walker that Imperial Intelligence had mentioned.

This mecha weapon looks like a giant bipedal robot. Every step it takes makes a heavy thud on the ground, and it can accurately strike surrounding enemies.

At this time, the AT-ST walkers were launching fierce firepower output, suppressing the rebels' last counterattack force.

What followed was the overwhelming advantage of the Imperial Stormtroopers in firepower and numbers.

Under the cover of walkers, the stormtroopers advanced relentlessly towards the rebel positions. The rebels, who seemed to still have hope of resistance, were instantly defeated.

But at this moment, the two "outsiders" took advantage of the situation and escaped.

Before Leon had time to think too much, he saw the blind man stand up first and walk quickly towards the entrance of the alley.

Bates continued to follow closely behind, looking nonchalant, as if he was prepared for the situation.

Leon frowned slightly. Although he was a little confused about the current situation, he knew from his years of work experience that some situations required quick decisions.

Then, without too much worry or hesitation, he quickly followed the two of them.

After all, in such a complicated situation, following may be the safest option.

The next three people walked through the dilapidated alleys.

The surrounding buildings are in ruins and ruins are piled up on the streets, as if every stone slab and building material is telling the story of the city's former glory and its current decline.

The flashing flames from the explosions and the thick smoke added a doomsday atmosphere to the holy city.

Suddenly, an urgent reminder popped up on the holographic glasses.

The content of the information quickly flowed on the virtual screen in front of Leon, and the words gradually condensed:

“All the investigation department agents and joint reconnaissance forces in the holy city, please take note and evacuate the holy city immediately. The holy city will suffer a devastating blow soon.

In addition, all personnel can remind residents in the holy city to take emergency shelter, but your priority is still to ensure your own safety. "
