Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

“What exactly happened with this assassination incident?” Ruo Manni asked Hebrew Adam directly.

If Hebrew Adam knew beforehand, then this matter was indeed a deliberate trap, not an accident.

“It’s still too early to say.” Not wanting to lie but unable to reveal the truth, Hebrew Adam felt somewhat troubled.

No wonder the elite boys were discussing various doubts there; he sat silently without a word.

If Hebrew Adam couldn’t speak, it meant that this incident was orchestrated by the Crown Prince, and the situation was still ongoing, requiring absolute confidentiality.

However, Ruo Manni’s question was meant to confirm her suspicion; once confirmed, it wouldn’t put him in a difficult position.

At this moment, Instructors Han Zhengbang and Dudley suddenly appeared. Seeing the serious expressions on the two instructors’ faces, the elite class immediately sat up straight.

“You all did exceptionally well during this exercise,” Instructor Han Zhengbang said.

The elite class sat even more upright. They were not afraid of being scolded by the instructors; they feared the instructors suddenly changing their tone to say something nice. This was a common understanding among all military students in the Xuan Gu Military Academy.

They still vividly remembered the last time they were scolded harshly after a training session.

“You’ve also earned quite a few merit points, which have already been allocated to your accounts, along with a substantial amount of credit points,” Instructor Dudley said.

Ruo Manni opened her account and took a look; she was surprised to find that she had eighty merit points, bringing her total to one hundred and ten merit points.

As for the credit points, ever since she had recognized her relatives and passively received fifty million information points in her account, she had become indifferent to money. The more than ten thousand credit points earned from killing monsters no longer excited her.

After the two instructors finished their compliments, their expressions indeed changed. However, it wasn’t as harsh as the last time when they had scolded them to the point where they couldn’t even lift their heads. This time, they spoke in a calm tone, pointing out the shortcomings of the elite class during this training.

The elite class listened attentively, not daring to be careless, and carefully considered the shortcomings that the instructors mentioned. They actually learned quite a bit.

Finally, Instructor Dudley said, “You all know that there’s news on the internet about Hebrew and Ruo Manni being attacked, right? I’m going to talk about this matter now.”

The elite class immediately adopted serious expressions, their eyes shining with curiosity.

“Because of this incident, Hebrew and Ruo Manni, you two cannot show your faces for the time being and need to hide outside for a while. I’ll discuss the specific arrangements with you later. The rest of you can go back to school. Once you return, pay attention to your expressions; remember to look somber,” Instructor Han Zhengbang said.

As he said this, Instructor Han Zhengbang particularly glanced at Hua Deli and Dean Atchison. One an older brother and the other a cousin; those who were observant were most concerned about the expressions of these two.

“This isn’t difficult; after all, those assassins were targeting my cousin. Instructor, are the two people in the video really dead?” Dean Atchison asked.

Instructor Han Zhengbang glanced at him and, after a moment, nodded. “So, Ruo Manni and Adam will have to leave you for a while.”

Dean Atchison’s heart sank. He didn’t need to pretend anymore; his expression was already grim. At this point, even if it wasn’t explicitly stated, he understood what was happening.

Hua Deli nodded in agreement. “That’s fine. They should come back only after everything is resolved.”

In the past, they felt that the protective forces around them were strong enough to not fear the dark creatures lurking in the shadows. However, this assassination incident made them realize how formidable this assassination organization was, to the point that it made them feel afraid.

If the mastermind wasn’t dealt with, Ruo Manni could truly encounter such incidents at any time. This time, even the two decoys didn’t escape unharmed, and Hua Deli couldn’t imagine what would happen if Ruo Manni faced such a situation. Therefore, he really thought it was better for his sister to hide during this time.

After spending more than half a year together, the sudden prospect of parting made Sheila visibly reluctant.

Although Sheila loved to joke around with Ruo Manni, in her heart, Ruo Manni was the one who pulled her back from a twisted path to a normal life, and she had already occupied a significant place in her life. So, it was only natural for her to feel a sense of reluctance.

“We can still keep in touch in the future, and we can meet in the game world to complete quests during normal hours,” Hebrew Adam said.

This was indeed good news; the sadness and reluctance of the group immediately subsided. Meeting in the game world meant they could still see each other often.

Hebrew Adam continued, “We’re just using this opportunity to leave so that those organizations can’t find us; we’re not actually trying to fake our deaths.”

“However, at least until it’s permitted, you cannot reveal that they are still alive,” Instructor Dudley added.

The Xuan Gu group left the desolate planet three days after the beast tide ended. After flying in space for a day, Ruo Manni and Hebrew Adam were about to part ways with their friends.

Instructors Han Zhengbang and Dudley led the others away, leaving only two seventh-level warrior guards. These were the guards for Hebrew Adam and Ruo Manni, naturally following them wherever they went.

“Where are we going?” Ruo Manni asked.

“To Thaizhu Star.”

Thaizhu Star? Ruo Manni looked puzzled; she had never heard of this planet.

“We are still members of the Wolf God Mercenary Corps. First, put away your light brain and switch to this one.” Hebrew Adam handed Ruo Manni a plain-looking light brain.

After Ruo Manni put it on, she looked at her disguised identity: Evelyn Marseille, a mid-level psychic, twenty-seven years old.

Hebrew Adam was using the alias Charles Anthony, also a mid-level warrior, and the same age of twenty-seven.

Since Ruo Manni had been using this identity for the past few days, she didn’t think much of it. However, what surprised her was that the two of them were actually a legally married couple.

“The Wolf God Mercenary Corps really has such a couple, but they have now disguised themselves under different identities, so our identities won’t be easily uncovered. However, to avoid running into acquaintances that could expose us, the Crown Prince has asked us to go to Thaizhu Star to train first.”

Ruo Manni sensed an ominous implication in Hebrew Adam’s words, so she suspiciously looked up information about Thaizhu Star on the Sky Net.

Then Ruo Manni stared at the extremely concise line of text, glancing back and forth in disbelief at Hebrew Adam.

Thaizhu Star: a barren star, a non-living planet, uninhabitable by humans.

“What are we going there for, to seek death?” Ruo Manni couldn’t help but exclaim.

Hebrew Adam smiled and said, “You’ll find out when you get there.”

With such a mysterious smile, Ruo Manni felt a bit frightened. “Have you been there before?”

Hebrew Adam nodded. “That’s where I advanced to a fifth-level warrior.”

For a boy with average cultivation potential, who reached third-level warrior at thirteen and advanced to fifth-level warrior at fifteen, it must be a terrifying place.

“There’s one more thing,” Hebrew Adam said, glancing cautiously at Ruo Manni.

When would the prince ever be so cautious? Ruo Manni’s heart immediately tightened; it surely wasn’t good news.
