Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 The Beginning of Eden o1159 Conjecture: "Of course they are not fools, but this is our arrangement. You can either choose to obey or continue to stay here, and we will not force you. What do you think?

"Zhang Yu said.

Oakham was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly. He looked at Philim next to him. Philim was sitting upright with a serious look on his face. He seemed to think there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

So Oakham couldn't help but secretly wonder: 'Could this be what Philim said about finding another life?'

Thinking of this, Oakham added: "Okay, but my brother and I are together. Wherever he goes, I will go, and I will listen to him."

Felim smiled slightly when he heard this but said nothing.

Zhang Yu said in surprise: "Huh? I thought you were the leader of the 'Golden Lightning Group'. What, you are just a spokesperson?"

Oakham glanced at Zhang Yu coldly and said, "This is a matter between our brothers, you don't need to know."

Zhang Yu smiled: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter. Then... what is Mr. Philim's plan?"

Felim shrugged: "I don't have any objections. Since you need us, just tell us how to do it next without having to explain it so troublesomely."

"Happy person." Kanehara on the side liked Felim's character very much.

However, Philim just smiled slightly.

"Well, we will have a small operation at three o'clock this afternoon, but only one of you is required to participate. You can go back and discuss it. If you decide, just tell us an hour in advance." With that, Zhang Yu stood up and planned to leave.

When Philim saw this, he stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm very curious, how far do we have to go, or... what result do you want to get before you let us go back?"

After Zhang Yu and Jin Yuan looked at each other, Jin Yuan replied: "Until you are no longer valuable, or we find out the black hand behind the scenes, in short, when the time comes, we will naturally let you go back."

This is what I said...

Felim smiled, he understood: "Okay, I understand, let's go back and discuss it first."

With that said, Philim and Oakham left the interview room.

…

After the two left, Jin Yuan said: "This Felim is indeed a bit weird."

"Huh?" Zhang Yu was puzzled.

"I can't tell you exactly what's to blame, but as soon as I saw him, I felt uneasy..."

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Tsk? You also have times when you feel uneasy?"

Kanehara: "Nonsense, my premonitions are always very accurate, okay?"

"Then... let's try him first for the afternoon operation?"

"Hmm... we can consider it... but with the relationship between Oakham and him, this cannot be fought or touched. Is it really that easy to try?"

"No problem. I just applied for a maRk IX exoskeleton with the 'Puppet Master' system pre-installed from above. With it, what else do you have to worry about?"

Jin Yuan's eyes lit up, he patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, little comrade! You have grown a lot recently!"

Zhang Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you please use a smaller hand next time? I'm not as resistant to being beaten as you are!"

Jin Yuan laughed: "Okay, okay."

…

Returning to Philim's room, Oakham asked directly: "Brother, what do you think? Why do you have to cooperate with them?"

Philim motioned for Oakham to sit down, and then explained: "Don't you think what happened recently is very strange?"

"Um?"

Philim looked directly into Oakham's eyes and said, "Isn't this the first time you've done this kind of thing by putting entrainment in the cargo?"

After Oakham hesitated, he decided not to hide it anymore.

"Yes...but so what, I've always done a good job, very secretly, and made a lot of money. You know, I really need this money!"

Philim has already thought of this.

Oakham is not a gambler, nor does he have any other expenses. The reason why he chooses to take risks is probably related to his daughter.

But……

"I can understand that you want to save Ofelia, but are those guys from the Foreign Spirit Tribe really reliable? Do you really think they can turn Ofelia back into a normal person?"

Oakham was silent for a while and then said: "What if it were your son Phyllis? Would you just give up?"

Ferim was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I understand...but you shouldn't hide it from me."

Oakham smiled bitterly: "I know that although you are now a 'free citizen', you have always wanted to return to live in the dome... and if you get involved in this kind of thing, you will have no chance at all... So

...I'm sorry, brother, I caused you trouble."

After hearing this, Felim was very moved. He patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "I won't say anymore. Now that we have reached this point, let's think about what to do next."

Oakham thought for a moment and then said: "Although I have never dealt with an arbiter, I know how these guys behave, especially this Zhang Yu. I don't think he will let us go free, so... we must advance

Make plans."

When Philim heard this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

Oakham knew what he was worried about, so he said: "Don't look, everything here is under surveillance, but the Arbiter's surveillance system is controlled by the top management. Even if they want to see it, they have to go through layers of approval."

That’s all.”

Is there such a thing?

Felim felt a little relieved. After thinking about it, he said: "Then you have to tell me first what exactly you sold to the 'disciple'.

thing?"

Oakham hesitated for a moment before replying: "It is the basic raw material collected from the ruins of Afania."

Although Filim already knew it from the encrypted information package given by Zhang Yu, he was still stunned when he heard that it was mined from Afanya.

Because he was so familiar with that ruins.

As one of the imperial outposts, Alfania was razed to the ground at the beginning of the war between the Zansbol Empire and the Commonwealth. At that time, most people thought that Alfania had been completely wiped out from the planet Gaia.

But later, when freedmen entered the area of ​​​​the old site to explore, they discovered that there was a huge ruin underground in Afania.

The antiquity of these ruins can even be traced back to the Darkest Civilization period, which is at least four thousand years ago.

However, there is nothing mysterious about this underground ruins. It is just big enough, just like an empty underground palace left by the ancients. Archaeologists from the Zansbol Empire built the foundation of this ruins after discovering it.

What became Afania was built on it.

The underground ruins became Afania's material and arsenal, and a large amount of pre-war equipment piled up into mountains, becoming a gluttonous feast for the "free people" later.

When Filim first arrived at the underground ruins of Afania, the place had been basically emptied.

So in his impression, that place should be an empty city with no secrets.

But……

"It's impossible. I've explored Alfania many times. Although that place is big, it's not complicated. How could you possibly find basic raw materials in a place like this?"

Oakham smiled and explained: "I know that Alfania may be quite mysterious to ordinary people, but what do we pioneers do? Ah?"

Ferim chuckled: "I am also a pioneer, why didn't I find it?"

Oakham raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "That also depends on luck."

"Oh?" Philim refrained from teasing him, but his expression made Oakham understand.

He chuckled and said: "Okay, I won't be too blunt, in short... I found that these base raw materials do have a lot of luck... And let me tell you... the place where the base raw materials are stored is more secret, so...

...When we go out, we can go back and have a look, maybe there will be something else!"

"Other secrets?" Philim originally just wanted to know the details of the matter, but after hearing Oakham's words, he couldn't help but become curious.

"for example?"

"For example..." Oakham thought about it for a moment and said, "For example...'a door'!"

"A door?" Felim looked confused.

"Yes! That door is so evil! As long as I get close to it, all the equipment will malfunction, and I always feel like there is something in that door."

"Tsk...listen to what you said, there is something evil about that place." Felim felt as if he was hearing a ghost story.

Oakham smiled: "That's right, but I was in a hurry to transport the basic raw materials out, so I didn't check much. Maybe I was overthinking it."

Philim nodded and secretly made a mental note of this place.

"Let's talk about these basic raw materials..."

"Well..." Oakham's smile faded and became serious.

"Whether we are free people or citizens of a glorious republic, 'disciples' are not a good thing to us. When you deal with these people...have you really not thought about the consequences?"

"Yes, of course I have thought about it... But only the 'disciples' are willing to pay a high price for basic raw materials, and no one else dares to touch them at all. I can't hand them over to the arbiter." I heard the blame.

Oakham was a little unhappy.
