Chapter 1648: Wind

Chapter 1648: Chapter 1648: Wind

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao piloted the spaceship, but after entering spaceship K-Q75, they didn’t immediately go inside; instead, they were stuck at the inspection entrance.

Although the spaceship had temporarily stopped sailing, its control system was still intact, still fulfilling its duty—to perform security checks on every human and creature entering the spaceship. Of course, since there was temporary login permission, the spaceship’s security system only scanned Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao for any lethal bacteria, microorganisms... factors that might threaten the internal ecological environment of the spaceship, without taking any other serious security procedures against them.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao did not resist and obediently accepted the security check.

"Beep—"

"Beep—"

"Beep—"

"No. 1 secure."

"No. 2 secure."

"No. 3 secure."

...

As the security system reported step by step, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao met all the detection requirements, and immediately, the system initiated the procedure to grant them access to enter the spaceship’s interior.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth, jokingly saying: "Everything on K-Q75 seems normal. Is Shen Sheng hiding in the spaceship playing hide-and-seek with us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the entrance permission was completely opened.

Chu Jiaojiao lifted her leg and stepped inside.

This was after Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao’s discussion, with Chu Jiaojiao leading and Ji You following, cooperating with each other, ready to flee if anything went wrong.

Chu Jiaojiao walked in boldly, seeming rash yet actually keeping a careful watch on her surroundings.

One step, two steps, three steps...

No abnormalities observed.

Chu Jiaojiao walked several meters, but everything around seemed quiet and normal, the interior of the spaceship appeared neat, no signs of chaos or fighting, as if the spaceship was still orderly performing its flying duty.

Chu Jiaojiao gestured to Ji You, continuing deeper inside.

Ji You waited a moment, and upon receiving Chu Jiaojiao’s signal, took a few steps only to suddenly shudder!

Something’s wrong.

"Jiaojiao!"

"Come back!" Ji You didn’t hesitate to call Chu Jiaojiao back.

Chu Jiaojiao froze, quickly retreated.

A feeling of unease lingered at Ji You’s heart, but glancing around, she found nothing strange.

Chu Jiaojiao remained vigilant, upon hearing Ji You’s voice, she swiftly came back! Holding her weapon, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Ji You, noticing Ji You’s tense expression, Chu Jiaojiao felt her anxiety rise and silently observed the surroundings but found nothing, pondering, she couldn’t help but ask softly, "Ji You, what’s the problem?"

Ji You pursed her lips, staying silent.

The surroundings were silent, and after the security system allowed them passage, it continued to operate, whether on K-Q75 or X-N3848, or other commercial spaceships or starships in the Alliance... To ensure safety, as long as in interstellar travel, the security system would keep running.

Unforeseen accidents during travel might occur, so to ensure the normal operation of the security system, every aircraft was equipped with an independent energy system for it. In other words, the energy consumption of the spaceship in other areas was unrelated to the security system.

Even if the entire spaceship were halted by external forces like interstellar pirates, with the presence of the security system, it could withstand for a period.

Therefore, seeing the security system still running stably, Chu Jiaojiao’s tension eased slightly, but Ji You dared not relax even a bit.

For some reason, even though there was nothing visibly wrong in the surroundings, she felt an extremely strange, unsettling sensation, like her entire body might explode!

What’s going on?

Could a Viper Worm have slipped into the spaceship?

As soon as this thought arose, Ji You quickly dismissed it, not possible, a Viper Worm could hide but not constantly, and Ji You, having dealt with these Star Beasts a few times, had gained some sensitivity to their unique spiritual waves.

Nonetheless, with caution in mind, Ji You asked Fourth in her Spiritual World, "Fourth, do you think it’s a Viper Worm?"

Sitting atop Boss’s head, Fourth immediately wagged her tail, shaking her head: [Master, it’s not a Viper Worm, definitely not.]

Ji You was a bit puzzled, "What day is it today? Boss actually wants to be your seat?"

At this moment, Boss was wandering in the Spirit Space, constantly moving, and in a short time, its size, like a balloon being inflated, was growing larger, soon occupying half of the Spirit Space.

Second, Third, Old Five, Sixth were also tense, looking as if facing a great enemy.

Only Fourth, reduced to the size of a collar, was hiding atop Boss’s head, and upon hearing Master’s words, Fourth ducked her neck, looked around like a thief, and whispered to Ji You: [Master, please speak quietly, it doesn’t know yet, if Boss finds out, it’ll kick me off.]

"..." Ji You said speechlessly, "Boss knows, Boss just doesn’t want to bother with you, right?"

Just then, Boss suddenly raised its tail, slapping in the direction of Fourth on its head, echoing Ji You’s previous statement. Fourth zipped away after flying off.

Not long after, Fourth sneaked back, again lying on top of Boss’s head, seeing Master constantly watching her, Fourth whispered a small explanation: [Sisi is scared, that fool Old Five couldn’t take hits, still safer on Boss, Sisi will stay with Boss until the alert is lifted.]

Ji You’s heart moved: "What danger?"

Fourth was about to speak when suddenly, Ji You’s position trembled slightly, and Chu Jiaojiao beside her quickly reached out to support Ji You and asked curiously, "What’s happening? Why did a sudden wind blow?"

This wind was unexpectedly strong, requiring attention to avoid being swept to the ground.

Glancing around, within sight, no direction seemed abnormal, Ji You frowned, "Jiaojiao, we’re in trouble, we might indeed have encountered a ghost."

Chu Jiaojiao: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao felt her eyelids twitch, pulling her lips, saying, "Not quite, it’s surely something putting on a ghostly act!"

Speaking, Chu Jiaojiao held the Longsword in her hand, and said, "Ji You, don’t be afraid, with Jiaojiao here, whether ghost or monster, as long as it dares come, I’ll cut them down with my sword!"

As soon she finished speaking, the sudden wind disappeared.
