Chapter 337 Sylvia's Revenge

The captain's eyes bulged. "How is it my account?! I didn't do it! Twenty-two hours ago… I was asleep! It's the murderer, the murderer stole my account! But… the login password is my fingerprint and iris scan, how could it be stolen…"

Everyone looked at him suspiciously. It might be you. There's no surveillance footage, so you can act however you want.

"There are a few possibilities. Maybe the high-level members of your tour group colluded with other forces to deal with us, or maybe the other party somehow obtained the captain's physical password sample, or… there's a shapeshifting Esper lurking on board." Melos pondered.

Everyone's expression changed, and they sized each other up with suspicion, seeing everyone as a potential enemy.

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and glanced around at the crowd. Everyone on the ship was gathered here, even Sylvia, who was hiding at the edge of the crowd, peeking at him with half her face showing…

Suddenly, his eyes flashed.

Wait, Sylvia?

A flash of inspiration struck him. Han Xiao finally realized where the oddness he had detected came from. He looked at Dirk. "Sylvia is your friend's daughter?"

Dirk nodded, puzzled. "Yes, is there a problem?"

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Her family… seems to only have her father left, right? If I remember correctly, that person is not a simple character. Heh, I almost fell for it. You put on a pretty good act. To receive lenient treatment, confess your crimes; to meet with resistance, be dealt with severely. Are you going to tell me yourself, or should I help you?"

Dirk's expression stiffened, a look of disbelief flashing across his face. His eyes clearly expressed his shock and confusion:

—How do you know Sylvia?!

Although Han Xiao didn't know the specific identity of Sylvia's father, he remembered that her father was a villain in the background information. That was enough. Dirk was just an ordinary employee of a business group. It was suspicious that a villain was his friend, although it wasn't impossible…

Han Xiao shook his head secretly. He should have noticed this earlier, but everything seemed normal at the time, so he didn't think too much about it. It seemed he had been a little lax recently.

Because of the one-month break for the league, coupled with the fact that he hadn't experienced too many crises in the previous nine months, his vigilance had been gradually reduced. Fortunately, he noticed it in time. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he secretly became more alert.

At this time, Sylvia walked out, frowning. Her entire temperament had changed. All her previous youthful vigor was just her disguise. Although her body was still in adolescence, she no longer felt like a young girl. Her temperament had become mature.

Sylvia stared at Han Xiao, her tone complicated, mixed with astonishment.

"You actually recognize me?"

She couldn't understand how Han Xiao could recognize her identity when it was clearly their first meeting. Logically speaking, Black Star wouldn't even know of her existence. She should have been hiding in the shadows all along.

Sylvia had considered many possibilities of being exposed, but she never thought that her identity would be discovered, which caused her plan to be unable to proceed as scheduled.

In fact, if he didn't remember Sylvia's character background, Mechanic Han wouldn't have been able to directly identify the murderer. It seemed that running into a future character with a name and surname was not an accident!

"Black Star, my father was sent to prison by you. You mercenaries without any principles only fight for money. To this end, you don't hesitate to help those tyrannical rulers suppress the suffering people. My father could have saved everyone, but you mercenaries ruined him!"

Sylvia gritted her teeth, her tone filled with anger. Since she was exposed, she no longer pretended to be a young girl.

The players looked at each other, completely dumbfounded. Have we done such a thing?

Maple Moon couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, what's your father's name?"

"Langeri! How could you forget his name!" Sylvia said emotionally.

Opening the mercenary group interface, Han Xiao glanced at it and actually found the name in the mission history. It was a cooperative mission with the Purple Gold Corps to eliminate a rebel stronghold stationed on a certain planet. The name of the rebel leader was Langeri. So that guy was Sylvia's father.

Han Xiao was speechless. He had become the "certain mercenary group" that dealt with her father in Sylvia's character background. What could he say? It seemed that it was another butterfly effect, an unexpected disaster.

"Not only you, but also the Purple Gold Corps. This won't be the first time, and I will hunt you forever!" Sylvia shouted.

Bang!

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a smoke bomb exploding rang out behind the crowd, and a dark red poisonous fog rose up.

[You are enveloped in a certain poisonous fog, and a Endurance check is in progress. Your Endurance is below 280, and you have no related immunity skills. You have entered the [Poisoned] state]

[Low-Concentration Decaying Blood Toxin Mist: This is a poisonous fog extracted from a certain Esper toxin. A blood toxicity antidote is required to neutralize it. Current toxicity: 30/30. Loses 200 HP per second. The state disappears 3 seconds after stopping inhalation of the poisonous fog.]

Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw that the captain had already put on a gas mask. The poisonous smoke bomb was thrown by him.

At the same time, the mechanical sound of the spaceship system echoed throughout the entire spaceship:

"Automatic navigation changed. Destination: Nearest star. Preparing the warp engine. Estimated arrival time: 13 minutes 48 seconds."

"The entire ship has entered lockdown mode. All gates are locked! Repeat, all gates are locked!"

Rumble—

The door of the control room slammed shut, and all the doors of the spaceship's passages closed. The captain was prepared and flashed out before the alloy door on the other side of the control room closed. He was extremely fast, and Melos failed to catch the captain in time, punching the metal door and leaving a shallow dent.

The alloy door on the front side happened to separate a small group of people at the edge of the crowd, and Sylvia was among them.

With this, Han Xiao and the others were trapped inside the control room.

All the crew members were stunned. The captain was also one of the enemies?!

Chirp—

At this time, the ventilation ducts of the spaceship sprayed out bursts of dark red poisonous fog. The air system had already been tampered with, and the "captain" had activated everything with his permissions.

Han Xiao held his breath, his eyes flashing.

It wasn't just an assassination. This ship itself was a complete trap designed for them! Sylvia was able to accurately grasp their itinerary, most likely due to the fact that they were attracting too much attention.

At this time, a new mission appeared on the panel.

[You have triggered the emergency mission [Sylvia's Revenge]]

[Mission Introduction: As you sow, so shall you reap. Due to a common commission, you caused Sylvia to lose her father. Now, you must face the flames of her revenge.]

[Mission Requirements: Resolve Sylvia's methods of revenge]

[Mission Rewards: 1.2 million experience points]

"Tsk, tsk, using a small stake to make a big profit, she set us up. She even wants to send us into a star to be burned into slag. Not a bad idea. Did I beat up an old one, and now a young one has come?"

Han Xiao chuckled, not flustered at all. He was too familiar with this operation. He used to deal with Germination like this.

"What do we do now?" Melos looked over. He could breathe and speak normally, and his Endurance exceeded 280 points, so the poisonous fog couldn't hurt him.

"Her plan is a little interesting, but she missed the most important part…"

Clatter— The armor unfolded from the necklace, and pieces of armor spread all over his body. The helmet filtered the poisonous fog, and the Poisoned state quickly disappeared. Han Xiao walked to the main control console, tapped the screen, called up the spaceship system interface, moved his fingers, and shook his head and chuckled.

"I'm a Mechanic."
