Chapter 48: Art and Reality
With Ophelia's comfort and reminder, Rex calmed down. Although he still stuttered a bit, he told the story in full. Although there was nothing to talk about, it was just a face-to-face meeting.
.
After ending her communication with Rex, Ophelia was obviously still deep in thought and did not come back to her senses quickly.
Speaking of the first encounter with Mu Xuan, it was really not a memorable event.
At that time, due to some accidents, she and Rex were kidnapped by an interstellar pirate group in Chaos District 5 and imprisoned on an ordinary planet in their base camp. The pirate leader intended to exchange them for bounties, so he treated them fairly well.
, and there was no abuse or anything like that.
However, not long after, civil strife broke out within the pirate group. The separatist forces planned to kill them so that the pirate leaders would turn against the Hall family. Their situation suddenly became dangerous.
At the critical moment of life and death, Mu Xuan appeared in what was supposed to be a story about a hero descending from heaven and a hero saving a beauty. Ophelia almost fell in love with her at first, but she soon discovered that things were not as simple as she thought.
It turned out that the kidnapping of her and Rex was all planned by Mu Xuan. Through this incident, Mu Xuan connected with the left and right within the pirate group to sow discord, and finally succeeded in splitting the pirate group, allowing this great interstellar pirate who spanned the five chaotic areas to
The group killed each other, and in the end, he harvested the former strength and prosperity and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Xuan's method of massacring the pirate group was bloody. After the two were taken back by the Hall family, they could dream of scenes filled with blood and wails every night for a long time.
As for why Mu Xuan suddenly became her and Rex's savior in the end and was treated as a guest of the family, Ophelia was not very clear. She only vaguely heard her father talk about the power behind Mu Xuan.
Fei Yuan's thoughts were gradually pulled back. Mu Xuan acted too strangely. Maybe he left this time because of the order from the forces behind him.
Even if not, she doesn't have the ability to investigate Mu Xuan.
After thinking about this, Ophelia felt that it was pointless to think so much, so she shook her head and fell asleep.
She didn't know that Mu Xuan's departure was actually related to her impression of Qin Sui, who was still lying weakly in the medical center.
Tonight was destined to be an uneventful night. It was impossible for Ophelia to have a good sleep, because she had only fallen asleep for more than an hour when the alarm in the room suddenly sounded like a big hand, killing her in an instant.
Lifted out of sweet dreams.
Ophelia was horrified. This was the first time in her life that an alarm suddenly sounded in the family castle. She could hardly imagine what had happened.
She quickly turned on the highest security protection and dressed neatly. At this moment, the voice of the optical brain also sounded. She connected to the communication, and the person opposite was her father's housekeeper, Dallas Hall.
"Uncle Dallas, what happened?" Ophelia saw that although his expression was serious, he was still calm, and she felt much more at ease. "Is father okay now?"
"Miss Ophelia, the head of the family is fine now. The accident was caused by Elder Riley." Dallas' tone was too calm, as if he didn't even realize that what he was about to tell was the death of an elder, "Lelis
Elder Leith was assassinated."
"Assassinated?"
Ophelia's heart trembled for a moment. She was assassinated at the medicinal plant base not long ago. Now it's Elder Riley's turn. Butler Dallas is still so calm... Could it be that the mastermind behind her assassination that day was Elder Riley?
And when he was assassinated today, was it actually his father's hand?
As if he could see Ophelia's thoughts, a smile flashed across Dallas's eyes, "The person who assassinated Elder Lelis should be Interstellar Hunter Enge. The two of them had a personal grudge for a long time."
It turned out to be a personal grudge, so that's fine.
Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief, but soon felt that the matter was in trouble. At this time, Hall Star was home to dignitaries from various forces in the Galactic Alliance and Chaos Star Territory. What happened in the castle tonight must not be hidden. If they were
Those people know... this is a huge blow to the Hall family's face, and it will also make them doubt the Hall family's strength.
If things get worse and Engel doesn't stop and kills any powerful person at will, then the Hall family, as the host, will not get any good results.
"Miss, don't worry, the head of the family will arrange these things." Dallas was very pleased that Ophelia could think of this. "The alarm in the castle just now was just to remind the clansmen to prevent young people from taking advantage of the chaos. In fact, there are not many
It’s dangerous.”
There seemed to be a deep meaning in these words. Ophelia glanced at Dallas in confusion. Could her father be sure that Engel would not anger other members of the family because of his grudge with Elder Lelis? Does this mean...
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but in the end they just turned into "I understand."
After the communication ended, Ophelia lay back on the bed, but she was not sleepy anymore. She now needed to think about how to answer when she saw Chu Shaoyin and others tomorrow and was asked about tonight's incident...
Qin Sui, who had just returned from outside, lay back on the hospital bed.
After "resolving" Mu Xuan, she left the medical center and walked around parts of Hall Castle, decorating some interesting things.
She had known that Engel would take action tonight, and then most of the Hall family's attention would be attracted by the death of Riley Hall, and no one would notice that there was a ghost that moved at night in the castle.
As expected, her actions went very smoothly.
"It's a pity that you went out and didn't see the scene where Engel assassinated Riley." Yang Lie sighed with regret, "I can guarantee that it will definitely be better than the classic revenge scenes in those movies."
"Although art comes from life and is higher than life, the plot presented by the director who has never experienced real bloodshed may not necessarily be comparable to reality."
Qin Sui huddled on the hospital bed, with only his head exposed, like a child waiting to hear a bedtime story, "It doesn't matter, although Leilis is dead, his minions are not dead yet, help him get [Noah"
】The power of the drawings is still on the Hall planet, Engel will not give up, he will bring us wonderful performances, and I will not miss it next time."
"I'm afraid you won't be an audience at that time, but a member of the performance." Yang Lie said meaningfully, "He probably won't be able to act recently, maybe the next time will be when the banquet starts."
"If this is the case, that would be great." Qin Sui wouldn't mind using a few more scapegoats.
"By the way, how are you adjusting to your condition?" Qin Sui reminded, "When we get the life resuscitation potion, we must use it immediately. You can't let it slip."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
