A few minutes later, the Li clan planet."Mr. Lin Yang, please wait here for a moment. I will be back soon."
After the warship landed, Li Shan greeted Lin Yang and trotted away.
Lin Yang was a little confused and didn't know what Li Shan meant, so he had to wait where he was.
Of course, he didn't just wait.
Instead, he sent a communication request directly to Song Qingfeng.
The words Qingti said to him before he died were most likely related to the human genetic modification and recombination being carried out by the Mingye and Lingyou tribes.
He needs feedback.
An unknown space connected to the final universe.
He himself does not have the ability to explore on his own now.
The so-called unknown space is the mysterious area that the Universal Alliance has not yet explored and developed.
Full of unknown risks.
And Qingti told him to go quickly.
Obviously there might be something more urgent going on there.
Song Qingfeng is also very busy now, but he still answered Lin Yang's communication request as soon as possible.
"Lin Yang, is your mission going smoothly? Is there anything you want to report?"
After the communication was connected, Song Qingfeng asked directly.
Every time they communicated before, he would still be in the mood to chat with Lin Yang, but now he obviously doesn’t have the time.
Lin Yang also knew that the entire Abnormal Management Bureau was busy and dizzy, and time was precious. He immediately quickly explained the situation here, and then said:
"Director, I would like to apply for not pursuing Li Su's actions."
He communicated with Song Qingfeng not only to report the secret that Qingti had said, but also to try to get Li Su exempted from prosecution as soon as possible.
Song Qingfeng frowned visibly: "In principle, his behavior is very inappropriate, but since the situation is special and you don't want to pursue it, let's leave it at that. Submit a formal report later and I'll let Xiaoquan go through the follow-up procedures."
"Thank you, Director." Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now he promised not to pursue Li Su's behavior and let him be buried as a martyr in the line of duty, and he was mentally prepared to fight for it many times.
However, Song Qingfeng agreed so readily that he saved himself a lot of effort.
"That alien didn't cause any serious consequences. Although his behavior was inappropriate and there might be some trouble with the procedure, it's not a big problem."
Song Qingfeng waved his hand.
Being exempted from the responsibility of leaving the house was not a big deal for him. Since Lin Yang personally asked for mercy, he would naturally give him this face.
Then, Song Qingfeng asked sternly, "You just said that the foreign woman told you a secret before she died, which is related to this incident. What is the secret?"
Lin Yang also replied seriously: "Qingti told me to quickly connect to the unknown space of the last universe. She repeated to quickly go to both sides. I think the matter should be more urgent."
Song Qingfeng's brows furrowed even more obviously: "The unknown space that connects to the last universe? That range is very large. Did she tell me the specific coordinates, or the approximate range?"
"No." Lin Yang shook his head. "She probably doesn't want to completely betray her own tribe. Saying this is probably the limit of what she can do."
He remembered very clearly that Qingti had said that although she hated being a member of the Mingye tribe, she was raised by the Mingye tribe after all, so she was unwilling to betray her tribe.
Being able to say this and give a target area, Lin Yang speculated that Qingti’s thought at the time should be that if humans could find the location of the Mingye tribe in time in that vast unknown space, it would also be an arrangement of fate.
She didn't want to completely betray the Mingye Clan, but she also wanted to redeem herself and Li Su a little.
Therefore, telling this secret is almost Qingti’s final bottom line.
Song Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I understand. It is rare for her to give such a target area. After all, the unknown space has hardly been explored and is full of dangers. Under normal circumstances, no one can imagine that the Mingye tribe will carry out some activities in the unknown space. As for whether we can find what she wants us to find in the unknown space area, it depends on God's will."
"Qingti probably thinks the same way." Lin Yang nodded.
Song Qingfeng suddenly sighed slightly: "Alas, this news can't actually be called good news. We know a little about the overall strength of the Mingye clan. Even us humans find it difficult to move around in the unknown space. If the Mingye clan really has some arrangements in the unknown space, it can only prove one thing!"
"Director, what you mean is..." Lin Yang's eyes narrowed.
Song Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "It seems that you have understood what I want to say. That's right, if the alien woman did not lie intentionally, it can only mean that the high-dimensional life may have provided other support to the Mingye tribe, so that they can move safely in the unknown space. For us, this is not only not good news, but extremely bad news."
Lin Yang fell silent suddenly.
He understood what Song Qingfeng meant.
Although humans have many extraordinary strong people and several ninth-level supreme civilizations, it is still difficult to conduct a detailed exploration of the unknown space.
The overall strength of the Midnight Clan is still some distance away from that of humans. If they have any bases or something like that in unknown space, it is obvious that they have received various supports from higher-dimensional cosmic life.
Then what humans have to face is the power from the higher-dimensional universe.
It's hard not to feel despair.
"Forget it. Thinking about this now will only add to the pressure. I will communicate with other departments first to see if we can dispatch a group of elite forces to investigate first. Since the alien woman has said so, I believe that the office area of the Night Tribe should not be deep in the unknown space. It should be at the edge or in a location that we can explore. Otherwise, she would not have to remind you specifically."
Song Qingfeng pondered for a few seconds and then spoke.
"Besides, it is not that easy for the high-dimensional cosmic life to cross the dimensional barrier and provide material support to the Night Clan. It should not be enough for them to build a base in the depths of unknown space."
After saying that, Song Qingfeng ended the call.
Lin Yang continued to wait there for Li Shan.
He can't provide any help in exploring unknown space now.
We can only hope that the first exploration team can successfully discover some useful information.
While waiting, Lin Yang also wrote a report to explain the incident of leaving the dormitory and seek exemption for him.
With the confidential information provided by Qingti at the end, this matter could even be turned into a case of redeeming oneself for a crime.
For this purpose, Lin Yang also contacted Koizumi's assistant and asked him to help read the report first.
"Mr. Lin Yang, there is no major problem with the report. As for the flaws, I can correct them for you after you hand them over. As for redeeming your crime and making amends for it, it depends on whether the confidential information provided by that foreign woman is true. I will help you go through the current process first. If the information provided by that foreign woman is confirmed to be valid, I will follow up in a timely manner, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Assistant Koizumi read the report and spoke seriously.
Lin Yang was also reminded that since the information provided by Qingti could not be proven to be true, his application for meritorious service while serving his sentence needed to be put on hold for the time being.
Anyway, Li Su's behavior will not be pursued, and he will be allowed to be buried as a normal death in the line of duty. There is no need for him to apply for meritorious service now.
Although judging by the situation at the scene, the secret that Qingti finally told in exchange should be true.
But after all, it has not been confirmed yet, so there is no need to create trouble now.
"Mr. Lin Yang, I would like to remind you personally that there are actually quite a few people at the alliance headquarters who are waiting to catch you in the act. Therefore, the director is very strict with any process on your side and does not want any flaws to appear in your resume report. Therefore, it is best to suppress any possible risk control issues for the time being." Assistant Koizumi suddenly lowered his voice and said something that surprised Lin Yang.
"Catch my pigtail?" Lin Yang was very surprised.
Why are you grabbing his pigtail?
and……
"What's the point of having a perfect resume?" Lin Yang was also puzzled by this.
The so-called resume is used for job hunting, promotion and salary increase on Blue Star.
But he had never thought about getting a promotion or a raise in the Alien Management Bureau.
What's more, in a place like the Foreign Affairs Bureau, whether you get a promotion or a raise is more related to your own abilities.
A resume should be of no use.
Assistant Koizumi said softly, "A tall tree attracts the wind. Mr. Lin Yang, I can only say that the alliance is not monolithic."
"As for your resume, to be honest, it's really not something that other people need to care about, but for you, Mr. Lin Yang, a tainted resume will affect some important things in the future. Someone may use this to embarrass you and block some of your qualifications, so the director will make sure your resume is perfect."
This made Lin Yang even more curious: "Assistant Koizumi, do you mean that someone would deliberately embarrass me on some matters?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin Yang, you can completely understand it that way." Assistant Koizumi responded.
"This..." Lin Yang's eyes flickered twice, and he said slowly: "Assistant Koizumi, are they the old guys who fought with my master in front of the Universal Alliance Building that day?"
Combining what Koizumi's assistant said before and after, he could already guess something.
Assistant Koizumi hesitated for a moment, even turned his head and looked around before replying, "Mr. Lin Yang, there are some things that you just need to understand. I can't say it too directly, I hope you can understand."
"Thanks for the reminder." Lin Yang tactfully didn't ask any more questions after hearing that.
He knew that Koizumi's assistant was not deliberately keeping things in suspense or being mysterious.
If I could say it directly, I would definitely tell myself directly.
It seems like a big risk to say this now.
Those old guys are still a bit scary.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin Yang, please pass the report to me." Assistant Koizumi said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Assistant Koizumi." Lin Yang passed the report over.
"Received. I will follow up on the matter regarding Li Su at any time. Sir Lin Yang, you don't need to worry about it anymore. There may be more missions in the near future. Sir Lin Yang, please be sure to pay attention to your own safety when you are on a mission." Assistant Koizumi reminded again.
"Thank you, I will." Lin Yang thanked him and then ended the call.
Just two minutes after he finished communicating with Koizumi's assistant, Lishan came hurriedly jogging over.
"Lin, Lin Yangge... Your Excellency..." Li Shan spoke with some heavy breathing.
Seeing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Patriarch Lishan, what are you doing?"
Although Li Shan is in his fifties or sixties, at this age, even on Blue Star, if he is in good health, he should not be so tired after running for a few minutes.
Not to mention the Li tribe. Although their level of technological civilization is not high, they are very close to the Tianji Federation and the physical fitness of the people is very good.
It takes less than ten minutes to get to and from the mountain. Even if you run the whole way, you won’t be so tired.
"Ahem... I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Lord Lin Yang. My old bones are really not very useful anymore."
Li Shan understood what Lin Yang meant, his old face turned red, and he didn't say anything more. Instead, he solemnly took out a wooden box wrapped in brocade and handed it to Lin Yang.
"This is..." Lin Yang took the box and opened it.
Inside is a somewhat incomplete...
"Map? Is this a map?"
Lin Yang tried to identify it before speaking with some uncertainty.
Because the incomplete map in the wooden box was really mottled and old.
Li Shan smiled and nodded: "Mr. Lin Yang has a good eye, this is indeed a map."
"..."Lin Yang had a strange look in his eyes.
What kind of good eyesight is this?
Although the map is old, anyone who is not a fool can recognize it at a glance.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
What’s important is why the Li people kept such an old map.
And Li Shan gave it to him so solemnly.
To be honest, things like maps can only be seen on the Blue Planet.
On other technologically civilized planets, star charts have already been used instead of maps.
The star map is more intuitive, convenient and easy to use.
Maps are an old-fashioned product that have long been eliminated by major civilizations in the universe. It is estimated that it is not easy to find them. You may have to go to a very old antique shop to find some.
Li Shan seemed to see what Lin Yang was thinking, and said, "Sir Lin Yang, this is a map of a special treasure land. Some of our ancestors paid a great price to get it. It is said that it cannot be marked with a star map, so we have this old-fashioned map, which marks some of the dangers and suspected treasures in the treasure land."
Hearing this, Lin Yang took another careful look and indeed saw some markings on it.
Li Shan then said:
"Originally, our ancestors had ordered that this map should not be shown to anyone, unless a brilliant descendant of our clan appeared and knew where this place was, then they could use this map to hunt for treasure. However, countless years have passed, and no one in our clan still knows where the treasure marked on this map is. Therefore, I, an old man, decided to give it to you!"
"Uh... the treasure place?" Lin Yang was stunned for a moment. "Is this the map of the treasure place recorded by your ancestors?"
"Yes." Li Shan nodded.
Lin Yang couldn't help but ask three questions in succession: "How many years has it been since now? What kind of treasure land is it? What treasures are there in it?"
"It has been... probably... a few thousand years since now? I am not very clear about the other details. The records within the clan are very vague." Li Shan replied.
Lin Yang's eyes suddenly became strange again.
A treasure land that is suspected to be at least thousands of years old. Will this map still be useful now?
The treasures inside should have been taken out long ago, right?
Li Shan looked at Lin Yang's expression, his old face flushed again, he coughed dryly, and said: "Sir Lin Yang, actually..."
