The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 818 Questioning
What a strange person. Bian Jie thought that this was his first encounter with that person. It was very ordinary, and he couldn't even be considered the protagonist. He was just one of the passersby.

Even years later, though those people and events have weathered thorns and storms and are no longer the same as before, that youthful and stubborn face remains an unforgettable moment in Bian Jie's life.

It wasn't profound, nor did it have any special meaning; she simply existed there, becoming the most indelible memory the young man had of this person named Jiang Hui.

Of course, to Bian Jie at the moment, Jiang Hui is still a guy who suddenly barged in with unclear motives and whose name he doesn't even know.

Speaking of Bian Jie, although he is relatively young, about two years younger than the average person present, his talent is there. He is already close to the threshold of S-level before he has fully awakened.

Because of his talent, he was easily accepted into the highly competitive Command Department, without having to compete with many of his peers in the star field. However, it is said that he later regretted it, as he missed out on the much more exciting unified recruitment process than in previous years, and missed the chance to become the biggest dark horse of this year.

He probably never expected that his first meeting with Jiang Hui would be under such circumstances.

Bian Jie possessed exceptional mental strength, enabling him to remain unaware of Jiang Hui's presence even before the rest of the team, and also to sense the strange atmosphere between the two leaders and this group of "uninvited guests."

Yes, it's very strange.

He had a feeling that Mr. Huan and Zhou didn't seem to be planning to make a move—after discovering an enemy of significantly higher caliber who was clearly about to invade them.

Moreover, this guy who suddenly appeared was also strange. He had been following them silently the whole way, clearly planning something, but then, because of Zhou's abrupt question, the whole team suddenly jumped out. How is this any different from exposing themselves?
No, you've been pretending for so long without achieving anything, and now you're just going to stop pretending right away?

In fact, Jiang Hui originally planned to pretend for a while, but her old friends on the other side seemed to have no patience to play games with her and forced her to reveal herself with a single sentence.

But it doesn't matter, we've met the person, now we just need to figure out how to take advantage of this opportunity.

Just as Jiang Hui was about to say something, the other person changed the subject, asking in a slightly different tone, "What happened to your shoulder?"

Although the affected area in her shoulder had become numb due to the protective mechanism, the intense pain that was reflected in the surrounding nerve network honestly invaded all the sensory organs of her body.

To avoid appearing injured and weak when meeting with her new allies, Jiang Hui lingered on Wu Shi's back for a while before coming here, catching her breath before overcoming the pain.

She thought she had disguised herself well enough to avoid any trouble, but the other person saw through her disguise the moment they met. It has to be said that they were all too familiar with each other. So familiar that they could see through each other's true nature without needing to say much.

"You're injured." This time, it was another, more taciturn person who spoke, and he used a definitive statement, putting an end to the matter.

Tsk, there was no escaping it. Before she could even utter a word, her entire past was exposed. "It really has to be you guys," Jiang Hui, her old friends, almost couldn't help but facepalm.

Although the beginning was a little different from what she had imagined, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. Jiang Hui did not answer the questions from the two of them, but started talking to herself.

"Are you short of quotas?" The girl swept past the wary crowd opposite her, then said with certainty, "You are." Huh?
When Bian Jie, Qin Feng, and the others heard this group of people who seemed to be enemies ask such a seemingly unrelated question, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Well, actually, it's not fair to judge others; even our own family members reacted rather strangely.

In short, the current scene made them wonder if they had stumbled into some kind of riddle-solving session, where each person only said half of what they were saying, but their expressions made it seem as if the meeting was already over.

“But the team behind you is incomplete and fragmented, and doesn’t seem to be much better than us. If you use that as leverage, it probably won’t be enough.” The young man glanced sideways at the intruder team that was vaguely surrounded, and said in a very long and rhythmic tone.

Despite having a voice that was still somewhere between a young man and a teenager, and the words themselves not being particularly aggressive, they inexplicably gave off a vague sense of pressure from someone in a superior position.

Before Jiang Hui, who was leading the group, could respond, Wu Shi, who was standing a step behind her, felt her whole body tense up upon hearing this. A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her neck, and she could vaguely hear the sound of her pulse beating.

—This is an extremely dangerous guy.

Wu Shi was not some clueless, ignorant boy from some remote corner. Despite his humble origins, with Xu Dinglan's guidance, he knew far more than the average person.

The cosmos is vast, and geniuses are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Yet, the circle at the top of the pyramid is only so big, and even slightly circulated news is spread like wildfire by those with ulterior motives before sunset.

This year's cohort includes several students with unique backgrounds, whose choices differ from past traditions.

Both young advisors with dual military backgrounds, and Marshal Zhou's only son, seemed to have already chosen their paths due to their inherent positions. However, both surprisingly chose the relatively less prestigious Joint Military Academy, a top-tier military academy. This sparked much discussion among various factions, with each speculating about the motives of the forces behind them.

However, unlike Jiang Hui, the dark horse, the two people involved are well-known and surrounded by many curious eyes, yet no one dares to really look into their lives.

The news of Marshal Zhou's son had already spread throughout the school at the beginning of the semester. Many people openly and secretly wanted to get in touch with him, but no one dared to make a move. After all, his identity was too sensitive, so much so that no one dared to approach him for fear of being misunderstood as having ulterior motives.

But if Zhou Xiuwen is a treasure locked in a vault, guarded by layers of protection, then Huan Xian is a phantom hanging in the sky—neither clearly visible nor attainable.

It is said that this young captain, with an extremely complicated background, was entrusted with important responsibilities by the military at a young age, navigating between various factions. Their "battlefield" was already different from theirs, operating on a much broader stage.

Wu Shi couldn't yet clearly distinguish how the other person's "stage" was different from theirs, but he could discern the incredibly genuine and complex emotions on Xu Dinglan's face when he mentioned the other person.

So this is Huan Xian. What the hell, how did they end up running into this ancestor under these circumstances?
It seems Jiang Hui is going to end up with nothing. Damn it, how could he have been so foolish as to listen to this guy's nonsense and follow the enemy, only to run into a tough opponent right away? Does he want his team to be even more devastated?

Seeing that the person had already confronted the other side without even realizing it, Wu Shi felt like her head was about to explode.
