Chapter 758 Luxembourg

Chapter 758 Lucien Rael

A sacred vehicle? A soul killer?

Fu Qinghai silently memorized these two words; they seemed to be consciousness uploading technology from the cyberpunk 2077 universe.

After smacking his lips to remove the brain matter, feeling there was nothing more information to extract, Fu Qinghai threw the severed head into the ditch in front of him, then kicked the mechanical body down with it. Camilla Bikova's corpse disappeared into the complex sewage system along with the billowing industrial wastewater.

Fu Qinghai stood up, put the Dragon Sword into the small satchel on his chest, then bent down and pressed a hidden button on the all-metal suitcase. The huge rectangular suitcase began to extend and transform outward with a "clack-clack" sound, and the three-meter-tall power armor slowly stood up, its visors glowing with a scarlet light.

"Activate eyepiece thermal tracking."

Fu Qinghai issued the following command to the battle mech AI:

"Find the woman who left here a few minutes ago."

"Okay, master."

"The armor's internal deterioration is causing Qingming to reply stiffly."

The Azure Shell Power Armor looked down at the ground and kept adjusting the thermal imaging parameters. Soon, a series of light yellow footprints appeared on the passage floor in the eyepiece's field of vision, which were the faint residual heat left after the woman walked by.

The power armor followed the heat trail and moved forward.

Fu Qinghai followed behind at a leisurely pace.

……

Fu Qinghai knew that this wasn't the first time the Star Wars canon universe had been opened up. Through Camilla's fragmented memories, Fu Qinghai learned that the first major storyline event to be opened up in the Star Wars canon universe was also a storyline event in which almost the entire Brotherhood of Sontseewo participated.

It's the infamous Clones Wars.

The Clone Wars can be considered the most massive and far-reaching event in the Star Wars canon. Both sides involved, the Old Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, disappeared after the war, replaced by the Galactic Empire, which rose from the ruins of the Old Republic—a bit like the "Three Kingdoms unification" scenario.

The Clone Wars in the Star Wars canon universe.

Just like the Horus Rebellion in the Warhammer 40K universe.

This was a pivotal event that laid the foundation for all subsequent plot developments.

The Clone Wars consist of many battles, large and small, such as the Battle of Naboo, the Battle of Kamino, and the Second Battle of Geonosis. Any one of these battles could stand alone as a major plot event, but because these battles are so concentrated in time, and even two battles could break out at the same time, they are all included in the larger plot event of "The Clone Wars".

Similarly, as the first major storyline event to be released in the Warhammer 40K universe, the Horus Rebellion was also divided into many battles of varying sizes, including the Siege of Terra, the Battle of Fal, the Battle of Khos, the Shadow Crusade, and so on. Each of these battles could stand alone as a major storyline event, regardless of their scale or scope of influence, but they were all included in the larger storyline event of "Horus Rebellion".

If Fu Qinghai wanted to establish a long-term presence in the Star Wars canon, missing out on the Clone Wars would indeed have meant missing out on many early opportunities. Meanwhile, the Sontsee Brotherhood gained sufficient resources within the new Galactic Empire regime precisely through its deep involvement in this major storyline event.

As for how much resources the Sontsewo Brotherhood controlled within the Galactic Empire and how much power it could mobilize, Fu Qinghai did not obtain specific and accurate information from Camilla Bikova's fragmented memories, but it was certain that many members of the group held important positions in the Galactic Empire's military.

Fu Qinghai analyzed as he walked.

Fu Qinghai followed the power armor through the maze-like sewage system. He didn't know if Tong En had deliberately chosen a more circuitous route to shake off potential pursuers. Fortunately, Fu Qinghai only spent a few minutes dealing with Camilla, the little Karami. The faint traces of heat left by Tong En on the ground hadn't even dissipated yet, otherwise he wouldn't know how to find this woman again.

"This is the place, Master."

The Blue Shell Power Armor pointed to the top of its head.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked up.

A circular maintenance pipe with a ladder.

"Pack."

Fu Qinghai gave the instructions.

"Okay, master."

"Deteriorated Azure Sky replied."

After saying that, the armor quickly began to fold and compress inward with a "clack-clack" sound, and soon turned back into an all-metal suitcase.

Fu Qinghai picked up the suitcase with one hand and carried it to his side. He then bent his knees and jumped up onto the ladder, grabbing it. However, the ladder frame embedded in the passageway made a "creaking" sound and began to bend downwards, unable to support the weight of the power armor.

Fu Qinghai released his grip on the ladder, then slammed his palm against the smooth inner wall of the passage, activating the Force skill "Golden Touch." His palm firmly adhered to the inner wall, and with the help of this suction force, he continued to climb upwards with one hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fu Qinghai banged on the top cover.

About a minute later, the cover slid open with a "bang," revealing Tong En's face behind it. She looked at Fu Qinghai in surprise and said:

"Qingshan, you're still alive!"

"I'm perfectly fine."

Fu Qinghai first put the all-metal suitcase he was carrying on the ground, then flipped over and jumped out of the hole.

Fu Qinghai stood up, dusted off his hands, and looked around. It was just an ordinary house, but when he looked up, he saw a strange woman sitting on the sofa in the living room, who was also observing and sizing him up.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.

She wasn't entirely a stranger. Fu Qinghai had some recollection of her; she had also appeared at the meeting in the sewer maintenance room, but she hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, and her seat was on the very edge.

Fu Qinghai possesses the ability to remember everything he sees; even if he only meets someone once, he will remember their face.

"Who is this?"

Fu Qinghai turned to look at Tong En and spoke.

“My name is Violet, Violet Salza.”

Before Tong En could introduce her, the woman stood up from the sofa and spoke. She had light blond hair, and while not conventionally beautiful, her features exuded a sharp and piercing aura.

"Hello, Aoyama."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly in polite response.

"Qingshan, this is someone from Coruscant."

Tong En stood beside him and said in a low voice.

People from Coruscant? What does that mean?

Fu Qinghai didn't react for a moment.

"I would like to speak with Mr. Aoyama alone."

The woman named "Vell" looked at Tong En and said.

……

Inside a small bedroom.

Tong En turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Fu Qinghai and Wei Er sat facing each other in chairs.

"Let me formally introduce you to Mr. Aoyama."

Vera sat up straight and spoke seriously:

“I come from Coruscant, and my family and I have long been secretly funding resistance groups across the galaxy, while also observing whether they deserve further support… I’m sorry, I know this is hard to believe, but this is all the information I can tell you right now.”

"I've seen you."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

“You were also present at that meeting, sitting in the sixth seat from the left in the third row, but you did not speak at all.”

"Your memory is impressive."

Vera nodded approvingly, then suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Fu Qinghai and asking seriously:

"Actually, I contacted Tong En to meet with you. You also attended that secret meeting, and I'd like to know your opinion on Fang Duo's current resistance organization?"

Fu Qinghai pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

"They are unlikely to succeed."

Fu Qinghai succinctly drew his conclusion.

"I think so."

Violet gave a wry smile and sighed.

Smart people are efficient in their speech. Wei'er didn't even ask Fu Qinghai for his reasons. In fact, any smart person who saw Fang Duo's resistance organization and recognized their limitations and weaknesses would not have thought they could succeed.

The woman crossed her legs, wrapped her arms around her knees, looked down at the floor in front of her, and said in a heavy tone:

“I’ve been in Fondo for almost a week now, observing this organization. To be honest, I’m very disappointed with their performance. Our initial analysis suggests that this planet may not currently have the conditions to develop a resistance movement. We’ve decided to abandon it for now and wait for things to change in the future.”

"but."

Vera looked up at Fu Qinghai:

“I didn’t expect this trip to Fangduo to have an unexpected gain, which is you, Qingshan. I relayed your speech at that meeting, including what you said to Tong En, your analysis of the protest, and the plan you proposed... word for word to my boss. He is very interested in you and wants to meet you in person.”

Tong En told you all of this?

This was Fu Qinghai's first reaction.

His second reaction was:

"Your boss? Wants to see me in person?"

Fu Qinghai looked at Wei Er and asked her, word by word:

"Where are the others?"

Upon hearing this, Vera revealed a mysterious smile:

"It's in Fangduo."

……

Fondos, Lex Shipyard berth.

Fu Qinghai followed Wei'er here.

The shipyard was still under imperial blockade, and armed Imperial Army soldiers in black armor patrolled everywhere. Vera was indeed highly skilled and daring, daring to bring him to such a place. If he didn't have absolute confidence in his own abilities, Fu Qinghai would even suspect Vera was a spy for the Imperial Security Bureau.

However, it might be because it was blind to where it was right. Fu Qinghai followed Vera to the shipyard area without any disguise, and not a single Imperial soldier questioned him. They probably didn't expect that Fu Qinghai, a suspect, would dare to come to the shipyard area.

The two arrived at a spacious berth in the factory shed, where many assembled interstellar spaceships were parked, including a small, streamlined spaceship with two wings, which was quietly moored.

V-21.1 Chevrex light transport vessel.

Fu Qinghai saw the sign next to him.

Violet went to the tail section of the spaceship, raised the back of her hand and knocked rhythmically on the hatch. After a moment, the hatch slid open, and a middle-aged white man sat quietly inside the small cabin.

Fu Qinghai and the middle-aged man locked eyes.

This was a middle-aged man with a sinister face, deep-set eyes, slightly sagging skin, and a slightly overweight build. He forced an awkward smile at Fu Qinghai:

"Hello, I am Luxen, Luxen Rael."

Luxem Rael? That name sounds familiar.

Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered.

The true founder of the rebel alliance.

Heroes who died on the eve of the Battle of Skarif.
