Chapter 1982 The Right Person
The power of energy weapons is lower than that of gunpowder weapons. Due to technical limitations, energy weapons carried by individual soldiers cannot be compared with airborne ion beams in power. The output power is limited, and the size of the energy batteries carried by individual soldiers and the continuous firing performance must also be considered. Whether it is a laser gun or a plasma gun, its power is weaker than a gunpowder weapon of the same weight and size.

The advantage is that more ammunition can be carried at the same weight, and the bullets will not ricochet in narrow areas such as inside the hull, thus preventing stray bullets from accidentally injuring or damaging important equipment. Therefore, energy weapons are generally used inside ships or to suppress riots.

Alyssa felt that it would be more appropriate to bring energy weapons when exploring the planet fortress. If everyone used electromagnetic or gunpowder weapons, the group of cultists would probably not be able to get near the stairs.

However, it cannot solve the problem, simply because the equivalent is not enough. The rockets carried by Benben are used for this purpose.

Fortunately, Alyssa was steady, otherwise if the fight continued, their side would probably suffer casualties in the battle.

The cultists who had lost their leader were basically no longer a threat. It took another three minutes or so, and as Sistah gnawed off the head of the last cultist like a candied haws, peace returned to the auditorium.

Lieutenant Dui and his men who were knocked flying were not seriously injured, mainly because the heavy protective clothing played a key role. This thing’s ability to prevent bullets and protect against damage from energy weapons blocked the cultists’ spells.

After confirming that everyone was okay, Alyssa went up the stairs again.

Don’t forget, there is a man waiting whose fighting power is no less than that of Princess Leia.

A single salvo of rockets could get rid of the cultists, but for this guy, it was completely useless. Even if he stood still, he could still take a hit from the Swan’s Light Lance main gun without any pressure.

Facing this kind of old man, running away is of no use at all. It is better to go up and talk to her.

This girl, who was dressed like a magical girl and whose name was Lujie but whose nickname was the Void Fairy, was still standing in the half-opened vine ball, still with a stinky expression on her face.

She seemed to have no intention of getting involved in what had just happened.

Alyssa swallowed and greeted nervously:
“Hello.”

It was impossible not to be nervous, she now felt like she was facing an entire fleet alone.

The latter looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Alyssa feel like being stared at by a tiger. To be honest, Alyssa was not afraid of tigers, but under Lujie’s scrutinizing gaze, she felt as if her whole body was seen through.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to have no ill intentions. Alyssa felt that she was seen through from head to toe, but for Lu Jie, it was very likely that she just glanced at her and then nodded:
“Hello.”

Then, both sides fell into an awkward silence.

Li Chengxi said that he had dealt with the cultists and then negotiated with Lujie.

This was easy to say. Alyssa’s tongue, which had been very good at bargaining with neutral space stations in the past, seemed to be knotted at this moment, and she was hesitant to speak.

It seemed like nothing I could say would be appropriate, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the old man.

As for Lujie, she was simply too lazy to say, “If you don’t come near me, I won’t hit you.”

After a few seconds of silence, Alyssa gritted her teeth and said:

“We’re leaving now.”

What I mean is, please don’t hit us.

——It’s really cute in a timid way.

At this time, Lu Jie stared at her and said something completely unrelated:

“Your outfits are weird, and the composition of your team also looks strange. Are you adventurers?”

Oh yes, weird guys are equal to adventurers. This is common sense in many dimensions of the multiverse.

The protective clothing that Alyssa and her team wore, the weapons they used, and even their very simple personnel composition, seemed out of the ordinary in many dimensions of the multiverse.

I always feel like the word “adventurer” is an insult…

There is actually no need to lie to such an old man, especially when Alyssa wants to live a good life.

So she replied:

“We are recyclers, which is different from adventurers.”

Lujie hummed softly, but didn’t say anything else.

She didn’t say anything, and Alyssa didn’t dare to leave. Who knows what this old man is thinking.

Just as Alyssa was struggling with her conscience, Lujie said, “Aren’t you here to find the box behind me?”

Actually yes.

Alyssa just used her personal terminal to compare the data obtained by the portable scanner. The high-energy reaction scanned by the scanner on the Swan was most likely from the box behind Lujie.

But we can’t say that now. Think about the cultist who rushed forward and instantly turned into a ball of white sugar. The ball of sugar is still on the ground.

Alyssa had no choice but to try:

“We came here following the high-energy reaction signal, but we didn’t expect it to be guarded. We don’t want to make an enemy of you.”

“You seem to have some misunderstanding.”

Lujie says:
“I’m not a keeper. I’m just entrusted to make sure it gets into the right hands.”

Entrusted by someone?
How awesome must it be to be able to order a big shot like this around?

“I’ve been here for a few days. I heard that the right person will be here within two days.”

Lu Jie curled her lips and said:

“The millipede did overhear, but it didn’t expect me to be here.”

Alyssa was stunned for a moment before she realized that the giant millipede she was talking about was actually the centipede.

I kind of want to correct her. Millipedes are different from centipedes, but it’s hard to say…

Lu Jie’s words were a complaint, and then she said:
“Are you the right person?”

How to answer this?
If I say I am you, will you give me the thing?
Alyssa chose to tell the truth:

“I’m not sure what you mean by the right person. What standard do you use to make that judgment?”

“Holy emblem.”

Lu Jie raised her fair chin and glanced at the group of people following Alyssa:

“I don’t know whose followers I’m giving this to, but I know the right person will carry the right holy symbol.”

Alyssa and the others were not believers, but when it came to the holy emblem, they did carry one.

Alyssa winked at Sophia, who nodded and took out Li Chengxi’s holy emblem from her waist bag.

When Lu Jie saw this, her eyes suddenly brightened and the expression on her face softened. She was visibly happy.

“That means you are right.”

As she spoke, she waved her hand casually, and the box on her back flew towards Alyssa as if it was pulled by a silk thread, and landed steadily in front of her.

“I can finally leave this damn place. Next time I will never deliver anything for others. Please open it and check it. I will leave after I confirm it is correct.”

Alyssa was completely confused. Although there must be treasures in this gorgeous box, how could she get it without knowing why…

I always feel like it might be a trap.

“Open it, what are you waiting for?”

Seeing that Alyssa didn’t move, Lu Jie urged.

She didn’t want to make this kind of old man unhappy, but Alyssa didn’t really want this kind of inexplicable thing.

Just as Alyssa was thinking of a solution, she suddenly adjusted her headphones, then took them off and stretched out her hand, as if handing them over.

“Um…someone wants to talk to you.”

This person, of course, is Li Chengxi.
