Bentley and others did not know that Qu Jianlei was the Ran Bingluan that Department of Anomalous Affairs was looking for.

Only Paranoid guessed it, and even confirmed it with him. It was considered a secret between the two of them.

Qu Jianlei didn't want to tell them. It wasn't that he didn't believe these comrades who followed Garbage Star. This would increase their psychological pressure. He didn't want to create a tense atmosphere for everyone.

As for whether Lao Ben or Hua Xiezhi might have guessed it, then just guess it. He won't take the initiative to say it anyway.

As for Paranoid, this guy is not afraid of any pressure at all, and he is fatally dependent on Qu Jianlei.

Currently he is Gathering Spirit Array who needs a simple version of transformation, but this is not his only need.

After he completely completes the integration with his body, he will continue to practice, right? As his cultivation level increases, sooner or later the simple version Gathering Spirit Array will become unusable, and he will have to use the more advanced version.

It is precisely because of this that Paranoid has always supported Qu Jianlei in analyzing the ordinary version Qi Gathering Array, and even said that he could do it.

After thinking about this, Qu Jianlei really doesn't worry about this traitor anymore.

In fact, thinking about it again, it is not appropriate for Paranoid to be openly exposed in front of the empire. Even if he doesn't care about losing face, it is still inappropriate.

He conducted experiments on his own body and has lived for nearly four hundred years. This in itself is an excellent experimental material.

Once word gets out, I don't know how many people will take notice of him.

And there is no doubt that his theory and operation of Above Supreme will be coveted by others.

If he does have the corresponding strength, then that's it. At least he has a certain degree of deterrence, but the problem is that he is only half-assed.

Therefore, neither of them can see the light of day. Currently, they can only choose to hug each other for warmth.

Qu Jianlei Seeing that everyone is interested in going out for a walk, we simply start planning our itinerary.

Early the next morning, the guards at the Birdsong Stream Manor discovered that three men and four women in the manor had gone out together.

It is quite rare that there is not even a guard left.

While everyone was still on the road, they received a message from Rhine asking them what they were doing.

Qu Jianlei answered simply that he was going to Transit Star and Asteroid Belt, as they had some things to take care of there.

Rhine is not surprised by this answer. After all, the two met at Asteroid Belt.

Hongjingtian should be surrounded by crewmen operating the ship, so it would not be surprising to leave together.

However, she reminded the other party that Asteroid Belt's investigation has been stricter recently, so if anything happens, just report Haiyin Family's name.

I have to say that Rhine is the most particular among all the second-generation Qu Jianlei has seen.

It can be seen from her behavior that she is definitely not a soft-hearted person, but she is also very considerate when repaying kindness.

The key is that this kind of gratitude comes from her heart.

In the midst of emotion, Qu Jianlei and others boarded 8384 Ship, which had been parked for half a year.

Everyone spent a day inspecting and maintaining the entire starship, and the dilapidated starship took to the sky.

It has not been used for half a year. This kind of maintenance speed is really amazing, thanks to Xiao Hu, otherwise it would be too much for three more days.

In this way, after 8384 left, some people were curious to retrieve the docking records of the starship.

Then someone said in astonishment, "You're right, you've been docked for half a year and only had one day of maintenance... Are you tired of living?"

Qu Jianlei's group didn't know that there was someone behind them making such complaints.

After the jump, the tattered 8384 Ship reappeared as Transit Star.

This time it was really not smooth. There were Anti-Smuggling Team Member blocking the road and military inspections.

The people at the Anti-Smuggling Department recognized 8384, but were not as afraid as before. They asked them to show their passes before letting him go.

The military went even further. Warships docked and wanted to board the ship for inspection.

It was Qu Jianlei who showed his military pass. After checking it, he did not insist on boarding the ship.

However, the military discovered that the person who applied for the certificate was Liu Qingyu, and someone in the channel also gave an explanation.

"Sorry, we don't mean to offend. This is a unified requirement from the higher level."

Obviously, this is the trick created by Department of Anomalous Affairs, and they directly contact the military in the star field without contacting the next level.

The inspecting soldiers may not know who ordered it, but even if they knew, they would not be able to report the three words "Department of Anomalous Affairs".

After all, dealing with this department will inevitably involve a series of confidentiality clauses.

Qu Jianlei didn't care, but was a little lucky. Fortunately, I had an extra thought when planning and chose Transit Star.

If you go to other planets, even if you don't encounter any big problems before landing, it will be difficult to go to other planets.

Next, 8384 landed safely without any danger, and the group went to Elf Home again.

Qu Jianlei chose to come here because of the private starship travel service here.

The seven people enjoyed a delicious meal. While others were taking a rest, Qu Jianlei made another request to the waiter.

There was no need to say much about tips, but what surprised him was that the cost of private starships had actually increased! Going to Tianrui Star, the round-trip ticket for each person was actually worth 400,000. When going to Sky Handle, each person spent 200,000.

This is an open-date ticket, but the ticket with a limited date is not much cheaper.

He expressed objections to the price, and the waiter could only reply with a grimace: No way, the checks have been too strict recently.

The waiter didn't mind mentioning Department of Anomalous Affairs. He said that because of Department of Anomalous Affairs's intervention, two private starships had accidents.

He didn't say how big or small the matter was. Anyway, the news has been very tight recently, and many private starships are not interested in taking risks.

But then again, those who still dare to take jobs now are basically very smart, so price increases are inevitable.

In the past, the competition was relatively fierce, and the price was only "moderate" - even for ordinary people, it was already considered a sky-high price.

The waiter received a huge tip of Qu Jianlei, but he still complained thoughtfully.

"In the past, Tianrui only cost 160,000, but now it has risen to 400,000. It's not that I don't dare to go up anymore, but if it goes up, no one will take it."

Qu Jianlei After hearing this, he shook his head with a smile and counted out the 2.8 million banknote.

It's really expensive, but safety comes first, right? Anyway, he is not bad at this.

Last time, I took away 200 million from Chiyang, and also got some from Arc Light. The banknotes in Qu Jianlei's hands have exceeded 600 million.

After getting the tickets, the seven people left Elf Home and went straight to the grotto Secret Camp.

Compared to the Birdsong Stream Manor, the conditions of this grotto are really not that good, and only Paranoid was a little sad after seeing it.

But there was no choice. After entering Secret Camp, Qu Jianlei explained the situation to everyone.

"...Department of Anomalous Affairs's investigation is too great. The price of private starships has skyrocketed, and there are too few people on board."

"So even though our tickets are anonymous, it's best to use them after a while. Then they will be divided into two groups."

Bentley and others said it didn't matter, but Claire whispered softly, "Why is this Department of Anomalous Affairs everywhere?"

Paranoid wanted to tease her, so he asked, "How about we clean it up with Department of Anomalous Affairs?"

Claire thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jianlei carefully, "I listen to the boss."

Qu Jianlei smiled slightly when he heard this, and felt a little relieved. Although the little girl has a bad temper, she still knows not to make enemies casually.

Seven people started practicing in the grotto.

On the eighth day, Qu Jianlei went out to investigate the situation, and Xiao Hu found a message: Asteroid Belt had broken out in a Star Wars! Who the two sides in Star Wars were were not mentioned in the news, but Department of Anomalous Affairs's attention was attracted.

Qu Jianlei felt that this was a good time to leave, so he confirmed the news and went back to inform everyone.

So the seven people divided into two groups and left in a private starship, heading to Tianrui Star.

There was actually five days between the two flights.

Although this is related to the scarcity of passengers going to Tianrui, it can also be felt that the control this time is really strict.

Qu Jianlei was Tianrui who took the second flight, and was followed by Hua Xiezhi, Xiao Qin and Claire.

After arriving at Tianrui, meet up with the previous group. There are only Xiang Xue and Bentley on the other side.

Paranoid has left, he is too lazy to waste time here.

Three days later, everyone got the news that he had landed safely at Celestial Hook Star.

Paranoid came here secretly this time.

Because of Department of Anomalous Affairs's intervention, the illegal immigration investigation is indeed very strict now, but with his strength, he doesn't care about it at all.

As long as he didn't take anyone else with him, he believed he could handle it, so he tried to hide first. What really went wrong? Don't he still have his documents?

Qu Jianlei After listening, he just touched his chin: Why are other people's luck better than mine? This time they did not use the identity of Tianbing Star, nor did they rent a private residence that did not require identity verification.

Qu Jianlei believes that under the high pressure of Department of Anomalous Affairs, there is considerable uncertainty in choosing a residential home.

So everyone went directly to the abandoned factory area and pitched tents to live there.

Tianrui is the earliest planet developed by Skyhook Star Region. It is also a bit shabby, and the abandoned factory area is not difficult to find.

The reason why I don't live in a factory is because if I live in a factory, I will probably be regarded as a homeless person.

As mentioned earlier, if the government catches a homeless person, they will deal with it. If private forces catch a homeless person, the consequences will be even more dire.

Putting up two relatively elegant tents can at least show a certain degree of strength.

The four women lived in the tent, while Qu Jianlei and Bentley slept in a rented car.

Some people did settle in the abandoned factory area, but they looked more like gangsters than homeless people.

Although there seem to be more women in their group, the women from Garbage Star have a strong and courageous spirit.

The tents and rented cars also show their strength.

In addition to the two men Qu Jianlei and Bentley, there are six people in the group. There are really no blind people who want to cause trouble for them.

However, when I stayed overnight, I still encountered an inspection of City Garrison.

After all, these places are densely populated with mobile people and cannot be ignored during a large-scale search.

It's just that Qu Jianlei didn't take out the pass this time, but simply used illusion.
