Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1431 Black Ship
The air smelled of refrigerant, along with a lingering musty odor.

Lin Fan opened his eyes after confirming that there was no more noise around him.

The overhead emergency lights were dim, but the already dim light was blocked by the stacked cargo boxes, making them almost useless.

The scratches on the floor resembled countless twisted shadows. Many more were completely shrouded in darkness, their contents unknown.

This is a warehouse that is not frequently used.

Old, obviously worn-out shipping containers were used as partitions, stacked at varying heights to divide the space into clearly defined areas.

"Anton?"

Lin Fan knelt up and shook Antonio, who was lying next to her, while calling out softly.

Antonio's eyes were closed, like a sleeping beauty lost in a dream.

Blue-purple light flashed at Lin Fan's fingertips, and with his other hand he covered Antonio's mouth and nose, gently tapping below the corner of his neck and jaw.

The effects of the electric shock were immediate.

Antonio immediately opened his eyes and sprang to life, his entire body leaping up and grabbing the pressure on his face before delivering a long kick.

Lin Fan blocked with his wrist and whispered, "It's me!"

Antonio saw it too. Seeing Lin Fan shake her hand, he realized he had kicked her too hard and quickly went over to rub it for her: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"It's okay." Lin Fan pulled his hand away and warned him, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone know we're awake."

"Is it really necessary to be so cautious?" Antonio said, but still lowered his voice. "What's going on outside? Can't we just use our divine sense to check? ...Damn it, where's my divine sense?"

It was only then that Antonio truly became nervous: "Why can't I use my powers? What's going on?"

Lin Fan raised his head, letting him see the extra thing on his neck.

"Hey! It's probably something like a spirit-sealing ring, which can seal the spiritual power within the body."

"Damn it!" Antonio touched his neck and sure enough, he had one too. "Who put this dog collar on me? It must have been one of those dogs who used to shock me!"

Seeing that Antonio's cursing was getting louder and louder, Lin Fan quickly stopped him: "The mecha is still there, and my Thunder Sea can still be used. It's just that the cultivation lineage has been sealed."

Antonio calmed down a bit, crossed his arms, and sat cross-legged, complaining, "I finally managed to cultivate my Nascent Soul. Although I don't use it much normally, but... never mind, what am I talking to you about... What's going on? Have we run into a scam, no, a scam ship?"

He and Lin Fan sped along, chasing after Qian Sui and Lan Bingru's location.

The exorbitant prices of magical artifacts in the Star Pivot Ring reflect the scarcity of the cultivation lineage in this area.

His dashing way of riding a flying sword attracted the envy of countless passersby, and even before entering Emerald Star, he attracted the attention of security robots.

The two were delayed by the robot's questioning. By the time they switched to non-weapon magical artifacts and went to find Lan Bingru and the others, Lan Bingru's location had disappeared, and Qian Sui's location had also moved to the Star Ring Port.

Lin Fan was more worried about the gentle and weak-willed Lan Bingru than Qian Sui.

But no matter whether she called or texted, Lan Bingru didn't respond.

Only two messages that they hadn't seen before were left behind.

One interpretation is that Bonnie took Chitose to Emerald Star to buy special pet food, and it seems that they weren't as malicious as she had imagined; perhaps she had misunderstood them.

Another line says that Bonnie turned and headed towards the harbor. She was considering whether to go straight up to the cat. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.

After that, I could no longer contact her.

Lin Fan couldn't figure out what was wrong with Lan Bingru, but he felt that with the Star Ring's system in place, the possibility of encountering danger was slim. Didn't they see that just now, even using a flying sword as transportation, they were stopped by the security robots? The Star Ring has no night; it's brightly lit all day long, and robots connecting to the central hub are everywhere.

If we're talking about someone kidnapping and holding a hostage in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Fan is more inclined to believe that it was a malfunction of her personal terminal.

But even if you think that way, you can't ignore the fact that you can't find the person.

After contacting Cen Fangyuan, Lin Fan learned that Lan Bingru did not have the Noah's communicator, so he decisively reported her missing to the Star Hub Security Department in the name of the Noah.

Antonio also made a discovery—the location of the thousand-year-old's location was exactly where Bonnie had said she would leave the Nexus.

Besides large powers and merchant ships that can be deployed in their entirety, interstellar people also have merchant ships similar to buses or high-speed trains on Lanxing, which are responsible for public transportation and carry individual passengers.

Bonnie was traveling to the Star Nexus on one of these merchant ships. Earlier at dinner, she had specifically told Antonio and Lin Fan which ship she was on and where it was docked.

Her intention was that if Antonio suddenly wanted to go with her, he would know where to find her.

She hadn't expected that no matter how much she talked, Antonio wouldn't take the bait until they said goodbye.

It seemed normal that Chisui was taken by Bonnie and boarded the merchant ship with her. But the question was, she was about to leave with a small animal she had "picked up." Was she really tempted to take it back to Annie Demon Star?
The two then turned and headed towards Star Harbor.

They had only gone halfway when a message arrived from the Star Hub Security Department. It stated that Lan Bingru was acting with independent consciousness and there was no sign of her being missing or in any other crisis. The terminal signal was strong and undamaged.

A high-definition video was also attached, showing Lan Bingru's face clearly.

Although she looked anxious and helpless, she was indeed clear-headed.

The thousand-year-old stood on her shoulder, its tail wagging, and it was also awake.

Bonnie was smiling and talking to herself the whole time. When she saw that Lan Bingru was half a step behind, she turned around and waited for her.

The video was not a complete clip, but it does prove Lan Bingru's condition.

“Call Bonnie,” Lin Fan said to Antonio, then pulled the video back to watch it again.

"I can't get through." Antonio tried several times, but there was no answer. "She's on ringing mode. If it's too noisy around, she might not hear us. Let's go directly to the ship to find her. It's not time to leave port yet, we still have time."

Lin Fan had watched the video for the third time, zooming in on Lan Bingru's wrist.

“Her personal terminal is gone.” She sent a screenshot to Antonio. “She has no other communicators and still needs to contact us, so there’s no reason for her to remove the terminal voluntarily.”

"You mean Bonnie coerced her into not informing us?" Antonio was still skeptical. "Okay, even if what you say is true, Bonnie has other intentions. But what could Lan Bingru possibly have that Bonnie could coerce? Qian Sui? That guy is standing on Lan Bingru's shoulders. He can leave whenever he wants. This is Xingchu."

"It might be Qian Sui." Lin Fan had a headache. "Lan Bingru knows Qian Sui's identity, and she doesn't dare to disobey Qian Sui's wishes."

"No way!" Antonio wailed. "Don't let things get any worse!"

"This is not up to us." Lin Fan sighed, forwarded the results from Xing Shu to Cen Fangyuan, and then sped up again.

"Let's find Qian Sui first and see what it's up to. If we really can't persuade it to come back, at least let Lan Bingru come back first."

The two made their way to the merchant ship and asked the crew at the hatch if they remembered Bonnie and if they could find out where she was.

The crew was very hospitable and took them to find someone, leading them to Bonnie's room.

But Bonnie wasn't inside, and then suddenly a fence was erected around the room, surrounding them.

Antonio instinctively reached for the fence, wanting to question them about what they were doing.

Then, I was electrocuted...

Damn! This is a black ship!
