    Chapter 25 Chapter 25 He likes you very much. Woof woof woof woof woof…

    Naturally, Si Jiu had heard about Marshal Silver Night, the supreme commander of the Orc Star Empire, and his name would always appear in news bulletins from time to time.

    It’s just that Si Jiu has never paid special attention to some information about the top brass of the Orc Star Empire. So when they met at the nursing home last time, he just guessed that the energetic old man with white hair and wolf ears in front of him was a highly prestigious Orc general. He didn’t expect that the Imperial Marshal would come to visit him in person.

    But if Ran Lie is a general, everything will fall into place.

    Seeing the marshal again, he was still dressed in casual clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, as if he was a soldier’s innate majesty. His sharp wolf eyes fell on Si Jiu who was lying on the bed, making Si Jiu involuntarily sit up straighter.

    Wu En followed the white-haired old man respectfully and closed the door gently. Ran Lie, who was standing next to Si Jiu’s hospital bed, immediately sat up straight with his head raised, then raised his paws and gave an orc military salute to the marshal.

    “Ran Lie, I heard that your animal transformation situation has improved?” The marshal glanced at Ran Lie. The big dog pricked its ears, maintained an upright sitting posture, and nodded slightly, but there was a different kind of light in his eyes.

    “It must be the credit of this little human friend.” The marshal turned his head and smiled kindly at Si Jiu on the bed. Si Jiu, who still had gauze wrapped around his leg, immediately sat upright and raised his hand in a humble gesture.

    “Yes, that’s him.” Ran Lie raised his head and answered loudly, as if introducing Si Jiu to the marshal was something he was very proud of.

    “Your name is Si Jiu, right? A nurse at the Southern District Logistics Nursing Home.” The marshal narrowed his eyes slightly, his pale golden wolf eyes showing an air of calmness and self-reliance. He smiled and said, “A Lie is very fond of you.”

    Ran Lie said “woof” again without hesitation – “That’s right!”

    “Marshal, hello.” Si Jiu lowered his eyebrows slightly and saluted politely. Although he was not shy, Ran Lie’s answer was too natural and sure, and his face could not help but feel a little hot at this time.

    “A Lie, this kid, has caused trouble for you, and this time too, he went on a rampage——” Marshal Lang’s ears turned, he looked at Ran Lie, and his voice deepened, “You made a lot of noise last night.”

    “Woof woof woof woof, woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!”

    ——”If You Zhi had brought people there in time as planned, this wouldn’t have happened!” Ran Lie stiffened his neck. Even when facing the supreme commander of the Orc Army, he still had his dissatisfaction written on his face.

    “You Zhi – he does have his problems.” Marshal Yin Ye paused and frowned.

    Si Jiu couldn’t help but remember that You Zhi once said that asking him to delay the rescue and Ran Lie not to act rashly was the intention from above. This made Si Jiu once guess that this upper-level order was in the same group as Luo Hao said that the top brass of the Orc Star who led the so-called experiment-could that be Marshal Yin Ye’s order?

    “After you were injured, your subordinates have been disobedient. You Zhi has his pressure – but Ah Lie, we are only talking about your problem now. You could have handled this matter more properly. You are not on the interstellar frontline battlefield now, but in the orc residential area. You have to consider the possible consequences of your actions.” Marshal Yinye said to Ran Lie earnestly, which made Sijiu slowly give up his worries.

    He didn’t deny what Ran Lie did, but he just felt that his handling method was immature.But this was not entirely Ran Lie’s fault. Si Jiu felt that he had a greater responsibility in this matter.

    But just when he couldn’t help but look for an opportunity to say something to excuse Ran Lie who was being blamed, Marshal Yinye had already ended the topic lightly, turned to look at him, and asked him another question: “Sijiu, have you ever heard of Bihe Crystal?”

    “Bihe crystal?” Sijiu repeated it subconsciously and shook his head, “No.” This was a word he had never heard of.

    “What about the rebirth organization of Yalan Star? Their former leader was named Wei Jie.”

    This name was like a needle, piercing into the most hidden corner of Sijiu’s heart unexpectedly.He felt his lips were a little dry and subconsciously bit his lower lip gently with his teeth.After a brief silence, he nodded slightly and almost imperceptibly.

    “After some of their members came to the Orc Star, they began to gather humans and formed the New Rebirth. They have been operating secretly.” Marshal Yinye’s voice was steady. The afternoon sun shined through the window of the senior ward in the military area, illuminating his pale golden pupils almost transparent, and his wolf eyes were as sharp as sharp edges.

    Si Jiu couldn’t help but swallowed.

    “He has nothing to do with that!” Ran Lie’s urgent voice interrupted suddenly, and he moved half a step forward, as if trying to block Si Jiu.This guy, who had remained silent while he was being blamed, now seemed so impulsive.

    “Ran Lie——” Wu En, who had been standing quietly aside, spoke coldly, his eyes sweeping across like an ice blade, “The marshal is talking.”

    Marshal Yin Ye was not angry. He smiled knowingly as if he knew Ran Lie very well.His eyes fell back on Si Jiu.

    “Don’t be nervous, Si Jiu.” His tone was still calm, but with undeniable penetrating power. “We know that you have no connection with Xinzheng. But this green eye attack in the Southern District involves them…and the dangerous interstellar nuclear crystal energy that has been strictly prohibited by the empire for many years.”

    Dangerous nuclear crystal energy?Si Jiu’s heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the green eyes of those beasts that seemed to be controlled.

    “Are you referring to the Jade Core Crystal?” He blurted out. The pure beast experiment mentioned by Luo Hao might be related to this.

    “The response was quick.” Marshal Yin Ye nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashed across his pale golden eyes, and then turned serious.”You guessed it right, it’s the Bi Core Crystal.”

    He leaned back slightly, his eyes becoming distant, as if they had penetrated time.

    “The energy contained in this special crystal is extremely unstable, and its effects and effects on living organisms are even more unpredictable. According to rumors, some say it can cause humans to take on animal-like characteristics, while others say it can completely transform orcs into human forms. Its energy itself, or depending on the carrier, can become a destructive and powerful weapon of mass destruction, or it can also be transformed into a powerful force of healing and recovery.”

    His voice deepened, carrying unquestionable authority.

    “It was precisely because of its uncontrollability that it led to unimaginable and huge tragedies more than ten years ago. At that time, an organization within the empire secretly carried out experiments on Bi Core Crystals, which eventually went out of control, resulting in a large number of innocent casualties, and the cost was extremely heavy.” He paused, and lightly tapped the quilt of his other hand with his fingertips. He seemed unwilling to look back on the past. He said slowly, “It is also for this reason that the imperial royal family and the Supreme Council issued the strictest ban to completely seal and prohibit all related research.”

    “However -” Marshal Yin Ye changed the topic, with a cold tone in his tone, “In the past two years, some forces hiding in the dark, including New Rebirth, have begun to make moves again. I asked Ah Lie to secretly investigate their whereabouts. The strength behind them cannot be underestimated. Ah LieWhen we were injured in a sneak attack and unable to transform into beasts, we speculated that this might be related to the Bi Core Crystal, which had been banned for many years.The investigation results in the Southern District Green Eyes attack once again showed that they were using pure beasts who could not be transformed into humans to conduct in vivo experiments on Bi Core Crystal.”

    Si Jiu listened quietly to the white-haired old man’s words, and the terrifying green flash appeared in his mind…the beast turned into a human, and the human turned into a beast. Thinking of Wei Jie’s strange state, everything seemed to have an explanation.

    It’s just the huge disaster that the marshal said more than ten years ago…

    Si Jiu frowned, remembering the interstellar explosion that happened to Arran Star, but at that time Arran Star and Orc Star were far apart in the entire interstellar.

    Perhaps the disaster the marshal was talking about was not the same thing.

    “Marshal -” Wu En couldn’t help but hesitate to speak, but the white-haired marshal with wolf ears raised his hand to stop him. He glanced at Ran Lie, and then his eyes fell on Si Jiu, “These are indeed the top secrets of the empire, but I think you have the right to know these.”

    Marshal Yin Ye gave Wu En a look, and Wu En nodded as if commanded. He looked at Si Jiu and said solemnly: “Mr. Si, we detected some unknown energy reactions in your body during the operation. For this reason, we sampled your blood for testing, and the results showed that it is similar to the energy reaction of Bi Core Crystal.”

    “How…possible?!” Si Jiu’s first reaction was that there was something wrong with Luo Hao’s gun and bullet.

    “Woof woof woof woof woof?! Woof woof woof!” Ran Lie was more excited than him.

    ——”What kind of energy reaction?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier if something like this happened!” The big dog faced Wu En without any fear and directly dealt with it.

    “A Lie, calm down.” The marshal coughed lightly, Ran Lie puffed up his mouth, but obeyed and kept his mouth shut.

    Wu En looked at the unhappy big dog indifferently, and then said: “Ran Lie, after testing, you also have a similar reaction in your body.”

    “Oh.”

    Ran Lie nodded, accepting it as if Wu En told him that he just had a slight cold, and then raised his neck: “Woof woof woof woof?! Woof woof woof!”

    ——”How is Si Jiu’s physical condition? Didn’t you say before that he was fine?! That turtle subordinate of yours is really unreliable!” The mobile phone language translator was temporarily on duty.

    Although Wu En didn’t reply in words, Sijiu saw the way he looked at Ran Lie, and he probably didn’t have anything nice to say.

    “Hmm, little friend Sijiu, Ah Lie is very interested in you.” The marshal smiled and narrowed his pale golden wolf eyes.

    The corners of Si Jiu’s mouth twitched slightly, obviously showing sympathy for each other’s misfortune, but he couldn’t help but feel a touch of warmth in his heart, and at the same time, his face felt a little hot.

    Now we should think about business – if, as the marshal said, Ran Lie was attacked while tracking the newly reborn organization and was attacked by a weapon with Bi Core Crystal energy, and was injured and unable to transform into a human form, then it would make sense to have an energy reaction in his body.

    But what about yourself?Is it really because of the bullet Luo Hao shot into his right leg?

    Moreover, once they are involved with this dangerous energy core crystal, how will the Orc Star Empire and the Marshal deal with themselves as humans?

    Si Jiu, who was always sensitive to danger, couldn’t help but look at the smiling white-haired old man quietly.

    “Si Jiu, you don’t have to worry too much. There’s nothing strange about your body.” The marshal seemed to see what Si Jiu was thinking. He paused and continued gently, “Given your current situation, everything remains to be seen. We will arrange for you to be transferred directly from the Southern District Logistics Sanatorium to the Imperial Military Headquarters. You, Ran Lie and Wu En will set up a secret special investigation team on the Bihe Crystal incident and report directly to me. What do you think?”

    Si Jiu did not expect that rather than letting the military department put him, a human being involved in dangerous energy, under house arrest for surveillance, the white-haired orc marshal gave him a more tempting choice –

    Involve him directly in the investigation.

    Si Jiu couldn’t refuse his proposal.
