I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Lin Xu was rescued from the bullet by Heinrich, but the string of perceiving danger in his mind was still tense to warn him. Suddenly, Lin Xu kicked Ryan's knee, who was still standing aside, Ryan fell to the ground in pain, and another bullet whirled past his head in a thrilling manner, blowing the cream cake on the long table behind him into a ball of mud.

The bullets stopped shooting at Lin Xu and Ryan beside him. It seemed that the killer didn't want to get into the trouble of killing Heinrich. The next moment, after a bang, the waiter who was serving Marlene's champagne was shot. Headshot, blood and brains splatter.

"Hurry up and chase the murderer!" Heinrich shouted to the two officers beside him, and Lin Xu, who was under him, stretched out his hand and pushed him away, and rushed towards Marlene Anna.

She fell into Chen Jingshan's arms, she was breathless, her white skirts were layered on the ground, stained with blood, she was extremely gorgeous.

Chen Jingshan hugged his wife tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

Lin Xu could barely stop, but felt that his hands and feet were cold. He half-kneeled beside Marianna, hoping to feel Marianna's pulse with a glimmer of hope, but the cruel reality shattered his last illusion. All breathing stopped.

Lin Xu was like a static sculpture. The shouts and people coming and going around him all disappeared in his senses in an instant. At this moment, he almost lost the ability to think and distinguish feelings.

He was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand to help Marlene close those blue eyes that were as blue as the sea.

Her body temperature is passing rapidly, and she will soon turn into a cold and stiff corpse.

How could someone want to kill Marlene Anna?

It doesn't make sense that she's so nice...

The police officers from Endymion arrived late like in all movies and TV dramas. The host of the banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, never appeared in front of the guests, but the next day’s newspaper headlines showed that he was in front of the gate of the museum. Photos from media interviews.

In the 3D image, His Royal Highness the Prince showed a sad and determined expression, and together with the chief of the police station beside him assured the public that the case would come to light, and that an outstanding professor should not be killed for no apparent reason.

The next night, the sniper who was caught by the officers sent by Heinrich confessed, voluntarily admitting that he joined the waiter to carry out the assassination. Never the right time to spend big bucks exploring a so-called home star that was abandoned 800 years ago.

The waiter was silenced, and the sniper became the only criminal and was sentenced to death.

On the third day, Lin Xu attended Marlene Anna's funeral, and Heinrich also attended.

That night, Lin Xu boarded the speed transport ship S105, and will catch up with the Abyss Fleet, which departed ahead of schedule, five days later.

Heinrich talked him into it.

People who don't know the truth may be persuaded by the official explanation, coupled with the emotional reports of the media, and even ignite a higher passion for this exploration.With the passage of time and a new wave of information, the death of a high-ranking Omega who had nothing to do with life will quickly fade from memory.

But Lin Xu, who was pointed at by a black gun at the scene, couldn't believe this simple rhetoric.

All the autopsy and ballistic inspection procedures in the police station were just a hasty cutscene to get the answer so quickly. Lin Xu didn't trust them. Just when he was about to sneak into the evidence room and steal things out for his own investigation, Hein Rishi intercepted him halfway.

He took out a detailed test report, which contained everything from the drug test to the murderer's identity and background.

Heinrich said that the murderer may be the same group of star robbers who attacked the fleet a few days ago. This time they only killed Marlene Anna, and they may also attack Lin Xu.

Lin Xu turned his face away and replied in a cold voice-then let them come.

"I thought you would want to find the real culprit behind the scenes." Heinrich stated calmly, "Me too."

Lin Xu, who had already turned to leave, turned back to face Heinrich, stared at him for a few seconds with light gray eyes, and asked, "Does the previous promise of Marshal Chu still count? If I want to join the inspection team, I can do it at any time." I can find you."

Heinrich would not refuse.

Therefore, Lin Xu now appeared on the bridge of this speed transport ship.

Ryan was also brought onto the transport ship by him. There was a bullet aimed at him at the banquet that night. Lin Xu didn't want to suddenly receive Ryan's obituary in the vast universe after leaving.

At this moment, Ryan huddled in the swivel chair, carefully peeping at Lin Xu who was flipping through the starship driving manual.

The only pilot, Arnold, besides operating the starship, also glanced at Lin Xu from time to time, and found that he was really comparing the manual with the operation buttons in front of him.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to learn to drive a starship?"

"En." Lin Xu answered briefly, the cold white light cast on his side face, showing a somewhat inhuman temperament.

But Arnold can even stand Heinrich's weird temper, and he doesn't mind Lin Xu's indifference at this moment. Only a kid like Ryan will feel panic and bewildered when talking with someone who has just lost a loved one. Baba, finally just shut up.

"Most of the operations of this transport ship are done by artificial intelligence, and it can sail under the condition of a single pilot. More complex starships require more manpower. However, ordinary small civil aviation ships are equipped with intelligent automatic navigation systems, Mr. Lin, don't worry Manipulation issues."

Lin Xu raised his eyes to look at the huge front window glass of S105. There are countless rotating bright spots floating in the dark universe. In places that cannot be touched by the best human eyesight, there are more stars silently existing, implying the depth of the universe. , quiet, vast, terrifying.

If everything is as Heinrich speculates, the enemies he will face may have several times the number and technology of his own, which makes Lin Xu regret for the first time that he has come to the interstellar age for ten years and has hardly touched any weapons and equipment.

He needs to cram all kinds of knowledge.

As a fast transport ship, S105 sacrificed a lot of space for assembling weapons for its speed and carrying capacity. Lin Xu could only learn starship driving skills, and temporarily had no access to heavy weapons. Mechas belonged to Arnold and Heinrich respectively.

"What about the mecha?"

"Ah?" Arnold paused. He had no idea that Lin Xu, an anti-technologist and nature lover, would be interested in mechas. In Lin Xu's room, the two rabbits and cats who were also taken on an interstellar journey were with him. He tunes in.

In deep space out-of-cabin operations, simple exoskeleton armor can no longer meet the needs of combat effectiveness. Giant mechs with a height of more than 40 meters have gradually won the main force in battles, protecting deep space fighters from being trapped by a few tiny space particles. Garbage shot through the armor, exposed to the vacuum to die from extreme cold and strong radiation, and equipped with enough firepower to carry out effective strikes on enemy warships.

The zero-gravity state also makes it possible to operate giant mechs.

When a person stands at the foot of the mecha and looks up, the cold deterrence of industrial civilization pours down. Human beings are as small as an ant. Beginners may even start to lose their legs before getting on the machine.

The steel machinery's extreme contempt for the individual is chilling.

"Uh..." Arnold thought for a while and replied, "A mecha may be dozens of times more expensive than a civilian starship. In addition to military assembly, only some super rich people will customize their own mechas for fun."

The implication is that Lin Xu may not have had the chance to get in touch with mechas, but Arnold quickly added: "There are many popular mecha battle games on Starnet, which are quite real. Mr. Lin can give it a try."

"how much is it?"

"Ah?" Arnold was stuck again, and after hearing Lin Xu repeating the question again, he replied in a daze, "Let's start with a billion star coins..."

"It's still affordable." Lin Xu frowned slightly and calculated.
