After I Wrongly Chose the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date!! - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 – Death

The moment Ji Anli looked at the words that appeared, the first thing that caught his eye was the words “no one survived”.

His heart skipped a beat the moment he saw it, and it took him a long time to refocus his attention on the complete plot introduction. But after finishing reading it all, his eyes turned completely gloomy.

Especially he stared at the last sentence with an expression so ugly that it was beyond words.

Ji Anli didn’t have any hope at first. He thought it was impossible for him to choose the correct card on the first try, so he was prepared to try more than ten times in a row. But at this moment, he didn’t know how to express his feelings.

His luck was indeed pretty good, as he drew the most crucial plot in the first draw, which was what he wanted to know the most, but also what he least wanted to see. At this moment, his previous guess was confirmed, but he would rather have guessed wrong.

There wasn’t much description on the entire card, but it allowed Ji Anli to guess the general situation.

[There was a loud bang beside Yi Ya’s ears. A moment ago, he and the old duke were protected in a human-shaped mental defense net formed by the guards. At this moment, dust flew in front of his eyes. The mental defense net was broken. He knew exactly what this meant.

When he cleared away the debris in front of him and looked up, he felt cold all over.

The feeling of regret spread, and he was at a loss. In the dusty ruins before him, the home that originally belonged to his adoptive parents had become a shattered building, and there were silent corpses everywhere. In order to protect him and the old duke, all the guards who came this time had sacrificed their lives.

The old duke who had just woken up nearby looked at the tragic scene, tears streaming down his face. He suddenly lowered his head and roared like a trapped beast. He spit out a mouthful of blood out of regret and self-blame, and his soul left his body on the spot.

The whistling wind around made Yi Ya tremble all over. He knelt there and cried silently.

This was a man-made disaster, and no one survived except Yi Ya.]

Ji Anli took a deep breath and read this paragraph over and over again. His previous guesses were all correct. This trip to Planet A was indeed what led to Lin Jing’s death.

No wonder he never heard Ji Chenhao mention Admiral Lin in his previous life. It turned out that he died here on this mission. The root cause of all this was the fact that Yi Ya wanted to pay homage to his adoptive parents before leaving.

It was reasonable for Yi Ya to have this idea, and Ji Anli didn’t want to be prejudiced, but how could it be such a coincidence? Yi Ya chose the location, and in the end, everyone except him died in this place.

Lin Jing has the highest combat power in the entire galaxy. Even if he is poisoned, it is not easy to kill him considering the opponent’s strength. Not to mention that he has a second form with stronger explosive power. What’s more, it’s not just him on this trip, there are also many guards with strong mental powers.

Yet none of these strong men and women survived. This must have been a carefully planned conspiracy, the purpose of which is to kill Lin Jing and the old Duke.

In his previous life, Ji Anli hadn’t come along with the convoy, and Yi Ya should have still been in a state of mental instability. So Yi Ya “happened” to be sober enough to want to pay homage to his adoptive parents before leaving? At the end of all this, Lin Jing and the old Duke still died. So… Was it really such a coincidence?

“What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? You don’t look good.” Lin Jing’s worried voice seemed to penetrate Ji Anli’s troubled thoughts and brought the omega back to his senses. He looked at the worried man, his heart ached and he couldn’t utter a word.

Ji Anli shook his head and said nothing, but couldn’t help but eagerly want to know more about the plot of this disaster. He didn’t know if drawing the first card had used up all his luck, but the next few cards were useless.

Ji Anli gave up quickly. He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Jing: “My heart hurts. My heartbeat has been speeding up since I heard you were going on this mission. This feeling… It’s very similar to the feeling I had when you were attacked in the alley not long ago.”

The book did not say whether there was anything wrong with Yi Ya, and Ji Anli remained skeptical, but the key issue now was to first make Lin Jing believe that he was about to face a fatal disaster.

Lin Jing first noticed that Ji Anli was abnormal because his whole body was stiff. He thought that he was unhappy that he didn’t care about his concerns, but he soon found out that it was not the case.

Although Ji Anli was worried when he first spoke, he was relaxed and his eyes were clear. However, at this time, the other party exuded a sense of fear and anger, and his eyes were full of barbs of aggression.

Before he could even think of how to express his worry, Ji Anli’s words made his heart ache and Lin Jing stared at his eyes seriously: “Is it the onset of your hidden illness or some other symptom? Do you want a doctor to come and see you?” He lowered his voice, fearing that Ji Anli would be frightened or his emotions would be further affected.

Ji Anli shook his head, lowered his eyes, sighed, and said in a roundabout way: “Forget it, I’d better not say it. You may not believe it if I tell you…”

Lin Jing: “If you don’t tell me, how do you know I won’t believe it?”

Ji Anli pretended to be entangled in his thoughts before saying, “Then let me tell you, in addition to that out-of-control disease, I actually have another ability, which is the ability to sense the breath of death. For example, before Manfred appeared around me, I felt this breath for the first time in the hotel. At that time, I didn’t know what it was, but my heart was pounding and accompanied by pain. Then I received Manfred’s [Will] and saved him according to the location. This was the first time, and the second time… was the night when I first met you in the alley. At that time, I felt the same pain in my heart again, and I had Jie Lie follow me to check it out, and that happened to save you. The third time was when you said you were going to Planet A a few days ago, and I felt even more uncomfortable. At that time, I vaguely discovered that as long as there was a possibility of death around me, I would feel pain in my heart and follow. And now it’s the fourth time…”

Ji Anli’s words made Lin Jing stand frozen in shock. He obviously didn’t expect to hear such words. This was a bit beyond his past cognition. Even this kind of supernatural thing… Not only had he never experienced it, he had never even heard of it.

But Ji Anli did save Manfred and him. Before going to Planet A, he thought the young man’s discomfort was caused by the temporary mark made which made the other party dependent on him. It turned out that that wasn’t the case, rather the party could predict death?

Seeing Ji Anli’s disappointed look after realising that he didn’t react, Lin Jing explained, “I don’t disbelieve it, but this kind of thing… I’ve definitely never heard of or seen it before.”

Ji Anli: “Have you ever seen a case of plush out of control? Have you ever seen a 100% match?”

Lin Jing was convinced. What happened to Ji Anli in the past period of time was indeed a miracle, breaking records again and again. At the same time, he also understood why Ji Anli had that expression just now: “Did you sense the breath of death in me again?”

Ji Anli lowered his eyes: “It’s not just you, there are many, many people, just like… everyone is about to die, so is the place you are going to really safe? Although Yi Ya is the heir of the old duke after genetic testing, after 18 years, is it true that he has not been used by others when he was found?”

Lin Jing’s expression became solemn. After thinking for a long time, he nodded solemnly: “I’ll let Ander investigate this matter privately. Don’t worry, although I don’t care about life or death, I don’t want to die so unclearly.” What’s more, he doesn’t want to die at all now.

He didn’t think of reporting it. Once it was made public, Ji Anli would definitely be implicated. He didn’t want others to look at Ji Anli differently. What’s more, as Ji Anli said, Yi Ya did appear at a special time. After eighteen years, it was hard to say whether he was an enemy or a friend. This was not his territory, and there was no guarantee that other people were not involved.

Ji Anli thought for a while and said, “If you trust Jiang Jun, you can cooperate with him.” This is Planet A, not Lin Jing’s territory. It is not easy to find out the problem in such a short time. They could only choose someone who is very familiar with Planet A, and Jiang Jun is that person.

If Jiang Jun was a bad person, then he wouldn’t have been just a major general now. If he was bribed by someone, there must be some benefit involved, and his promotion would definitely have been very quick. In his previous life, when he was imprisoned by Ji Chenhao, he never heard the other party mention Jiang Jun, so the other party did not become famous later. At least for now, he is safer than others.

Lin Jing responded and patted Ji Anli’s shoulder soothingly: “Wait for my news.”

Lin Jing quickly took Ander away. He didn’t have much time to check. It was noon when he came back, and he had to set off for his destination early tomorrow morning, so he only had one afternoon and a whole night left. In addition, Yi Ya’s adoptive parents’ home was not close to here, and it would take time to go back and forth.

Lin Jing didn’t come back until dawn the next morning. He hadn’t slept for two days and one night, but he was in good spirits, except for the bloodshot eyes. He walked into the room quietly and saw that Ji Anli’s eyes had softened. As soon as he leaned over, Ji Anli opened his eyes and his eyes were clear.

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his voice to a level with an imperceptible tenderness: “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

How could Ji Anli sleep well? After all, if he didn’t handle the matter well, he would lose his new partner, and the little wolf cub would have no chance of existing: “How’s the investigation going? Any problems?”

Lin Jing nodded and shook his head: “There is indeed something wrong with that house. The yard is too clean. It doesn’t look like something happened not long ago. It seems more like someone has taken care of it specially. But from the outside, there is indeed no problem. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we did not go in. Ander, Major General Jiang and I privately inquired about the situation of the adoptive parents and the process of finding Yi Ya. There is no problem. But just in case… I found the old duke privately and decided to reduce the number of people by half when we set out. We replaced them all with people from the First Star and people trusted by Major General Jiang. Later, we will go there as planned, but on the way, we will replace them with robots pretending to be us to go there and test out the location in order to confuse the person behind the scenes.”

Fortunately, the guard uniforms only required the soldiers to reveal their eyes and mouth. This made the task easier. They only needed to buy proportional guard robots at a high price to be fully dressed, so if you don’t look closely, you won’t notice any problems.

Ji Anli had seen robots before, but most of them were the kind of robots that served as housekeepers at home: “Is this… okay?”

Lin Jing’s voice became even softer, with a gentle and soothing smile: “No problem, most robots on the market are the most cost-effective, and no one cares about their appearance but only the chips and practicality inside. But the military has long developed combat robots that can fight, but this kind of robot is very expensive, so there are almost none on the market. Most of them are used for research and use in high-risk projects, but in order to collect funds, they are also sold to departments with confidentiality and defense nature. The Second Alliance mentioned by Major General Jiang earlier has robot dealers who specialize in research and sales to the military and such departments. The old duke privately paid this sky-high price to buy dozens of them.”

As the only brother of the current Majesty, the old duke has spent a lot of money in recent years to find his child, and the last thing he lacks is money. So what is a sky-high price for others is just a drop in the bucket for the old duke.

When the old duke learned of the possible danger, he agreed to this approach.

If there is no danger, it is just a matter of buying a batch of robots, which can be donated to the military later as a dangerous research project; if there is really a danger, then this money is the money to buy lives that cannot be saved otherwise.

Ji Anli finally felt relieved after hearing this, but he was still worried about Lin Jing’s safety until he saw them: “Can I go with you?”

Lin Jing agreed this time: “I came here not only to tell you all this, but also to get you ready to go with us.”

If the residence of Yi Ya’s adoptive parents is indeed dangerous, then the target this time is probably the old duke, and they want to kill him.

The people behind the scenes knew their whereabouts, and there was a high possibility that one of the enemy’s insiders was among those who came to protect the old duke. How could he feel at ease leaving Ji Anli alone in this castle full of dangers?

So it would be better to go with them. If something really happened to the robot team pretending to be them and arriving earlier, then they can just head back to the First Star and not return to the castle.

Ji Anli naturally had no reason to disagree, so he quickly packed up and caught up with the old duke, Yi Ya and his group after daybreak.

When others saw Ji Anli, they didn’t doubt that the other party was following Lin Jin this time. It was normal for them to be inseparable as a newlywed couple.

The group set off, and it was almost noon before they arrived at the edge of the planet where Yi Ya’s adoptive parents lived. The speed of the small starship was not slow but not fast either. When passing through a jungle, the starship bumped and fell down. After flying through the jungle for a while, it quickly rose into the air again.

No one inside the small starship noticed anything wrong, because they could only look outside through a small window while staying inside the starship. They didn’t know that the appearance of the starship had changed silently in such a short period of time. While they fell into the jungle, several other starships with the same appearance as theirs took off first and accelerated straight to the courtyard.

The starship that Ji Anli and his companions were on was ten minutes late. When they were still some distance away from the courtyard, they heard a “bang” sound that was transmitted simultaneously and awakened a group of people who were resting with their eyes closed in the starship cabin.

A noisy voice came from the combat communication device worn by Lin Jing: [Level 1 alert! Retreat quickly! Danger Danger!]

[No. 1 has died!]

[No. 2 has died!]

…

[No. 8 has died!]

With rumbling and various chaotic sounds, more and more numbers were reported from behind. Except for Yi Ya who looked confused, the others looked solemn. The old duke came to his senses and sat up straight. He said to Lin Jing: “Admiral Lin, give the order to change the orbit and return to the First Star immediately!”

In just two minutes, eight specially modified combat robots that were as strong as iron walls were sacrificed. It can be seen how much effort the other party put in. If they really went there alone, they were afraid… in order to protect this old guy, the chances of the others surviving would be extremely small.

Ander was the one controlling the main starship, and Jiang Jun was in charge of defense. He had been prepared for a long time, and when he got the news, he immediately turned around and rushed out at a whoosh.

In just half a minute, the starship slid far away from the scene of the accident, leaving only a white sliding trail in the air, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
