2617 A Massive Tragedy 3 (1/2)

”Hush. Our leader knows what he is doing. We should not comment on such things. He will end our lives if he found out.”

”All right, enough about the admiral. His decisions are beyond our control.”

”That is right. My only hope is that we can finally settle down here in Starry Crescent Land. I no longer want to wander about with no place to call home. I want some security in my life.”

”Haha! Wang, are you joking? We are pirates of the galaxy. Our lives are supposed to be adventurous and deadly. Are you really longing for security?”

”Damn, all these years have been tough. I cannot help but think about retirement already. In fact, I am starting to miss our own planet.”

”Stop thinking about it. We are all wanted fugitives on our own planet. Going back means death for all of us. Now that we are here on this ship, we should do our best for the admiral. At least, we get to eat well, drink well, and have a decent life.”

Their conversation carried on until one of them suddenly said, ”I can somehow feel that someone is watching us.”

Shocked, the others looked around the place but saw nothing.

”Huang, you are overthinking!”

Huang scratched his head in confusion and said nothing more. Quietly, he continued to maneuver the ship. What the men did not see was that Gu Xijiu was actually standing right in front of the control desk. She was observing how Huang controlled the buttons in order to make the ship fly.

It was only her soul that was lingering around the place, however. No one could see her without her physical body. She could tell that the ship was still sailing slightly above the water. It was traveling at a really great speed, like a cannonball that was sent across the air.
