Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 891 - 629 Costume Change_2
But the fact that Bai as a deputy can help her break through is indeed an amazing ability.
Faced with the Psychic Energy Canopy, the spy was not confident in achieving the same feat, so anyone able to do so must be more impressive than himself.
Without waiting for Bai E and Catherine's response, this guy started talking to himself, "Buddy, who the heck are you?! So fierce? I haven't seen someone like you before... you're not from this Stellar District, are you?"
As a Star Alliance spy, putting aside strength, his insight was top-notch.
It wasn't like he'd never crossed paths with planetary-level, or even stellar-level strong individuals.
In terms of experience, the spy felt that even Catherine wouldn't have more than himself.
Anyone whom even he hadn't heard of or seen should be from even more fringe Star Districts.
Bai E heard this and nodded obediently, "Mm."
Catherine gave him a side glance, "Stop prying when nothing's happening! Is everything we need ready?"
If the canopy hadn't been broken, then naturally everyone would be finished together, with no need for nonsense.
But if the canopy had been broken, then escaping afterwards was the top priority.
To escape, a disguise and an identity change are basic, but more importantly, navigating the ships to blend into a suitable departing vessel, that is crucial.
Achieving such thoroughness requires the help of those leaders managing the entire Freeport.
So during the earlier ritual, Catherine showed a slight cooperative attitude.
Each side took what they needed.
Catherine needed to blend into the crowd, hide traces, and leave Freeport to return to the Bauhinia.
And Freeport, having been embroiled in this, naturally had to try its best to make up some "benefits" after offending the Peak Alliance.
Such as a "strong background" that might gain acceptance from the common people and reasonable explanations for the various gold sponsors backing them, etc.
This was a pre-planned and agreed action between Catherine and the spy, and when Bai E and Catherine piloted the Mecha into battle, all subsequent preparations were already underway.
"Ready! Of course ready!" The spy patted his chest, "When I handle things, you can rest assured."
The three quickly came to a secret chamber where the spy tossed each of them a large bag of items.
"Inside are your new costumes and identities, and two Myriad Faces Masks, quickly change into them."
"Mm." Catherine simply acknowledged and began changing clothes in front of the two.
Watching Catherine take off her black coat revealing her fitted undergarments and large patches of white skin, the spy mischievously sidled up to Bai E, who was also changing, and said with a lifted chin, "This chick's figure is really something!"
Bai E glanced, "Not bad."
In terms of proportion and delicacy, Yue Ying still takes the lead.
Yet, this alien woman wins with a sort of lofty ambition, and that fierce unyielding sense is her most distinct personal trait.
It's a style others don't have.
"That's considered not bad... buddy, your standards are high."
The spy smacked his lips twice and nosily asked, "What's your name, buddy? I only heard Catherine call you 'Bai', we've been through so much together, I can't not know your name when I brag later, right?"
"Mm..." Bai E glanced at his newly prepared identity, "I'm Lance Li, from Longming Star District's Third Stellar System on the second planet…"
"I'm not asking for your fake name!" The spy was a bit anxious, "Real name! Real name!"
"Oh..." Bai E slightly pursed his lips, "Bai E."
"Bai E?" The spy looked strange, "Who names themselves like that?"
"Is Bai E that strange?"
"Who in their right mind would name their son after something like cement?"
"..." Bai E fell into a brief silence, only now realizing that the "Bai E" the other mentioned was the "refined Bai E" he'd seen before, was that thing similar to cement?
With a slight movement of thought, he followed the other's words and explained, "Maybe they hope I can become a cornerstone of human civilization..."
"Impressive!" The spy gave a thumbs-up, "Great! No need for more words."
After a pause, he curiously asked, "So buddy, where are you planning to go? Want to come with us, or should I arrange another place for you? Don't worry, I've already found out where every ship is headed, no matter where you want to go, I will make sure to arrange everything perfectly for you!"
'Primordial Star, probably unreachable.'
Bai E sighed silently, his face showing an indifferent smile, "I didn't really have a goal, just wandering around. If you don't mind, you can take me along."
It's hard to come by an alien local with some rapport, wouldn't I be remiss not to seize the opportunity to gather more intelligence on alien society?
"Don't mind! Absolutely no problem!" The spy beamed, his curiosity about this mysterious strong figure with an unknown background growing ever stronger.
"But we mind you." Catherine, who had already finished changing, came from another corner of the room.
Having put on a blue skirt uniform, she completely looked like a different person, with soft facial features, pink hair, and even her voice became much sweeter.
The core efficacy, of course, still comes from that so-called Myriad Faces Mask on her face that had already changed form.
Without Freeport's full support, such a strange object would be quite hard to find.
Alien technology, truly impressive.
Bai E once again marveled inwardly.
Meanwhile, Catherine, who had just changed outfits, looked down with disdain at her new attire, the wrapped blue shirt bulging at an astonishing angle, with the short shorts and long boots showing off long legs in a dazzling white.
She gazed up at the spy with contempt, "Is this your twisted taste?"
The spy replied seriously, "Changing attires must be sufficiently subversive to better evade the Peak Alliance's pursuit!"
"That's why we don't intend to take you with us next."
"Why not!?"
"Because... you've been exposed." Catherine's lips curled into a light smile, slightly tilting her head in a sweet yet charming manner, "As bait, would you be so kind as to help us once more?"
"... Ripping the bridge after crossing the river, huh? Fine, fine!" The spy trembled with rage, finally sighing after a while, "But, who told me I like you. You go ahead, once you complete your mission, don't forget our agreement! I will come find you again!"
"Of course." Catherine took Bai E's hand and turned to leave.
"By the way." The spy shouted from behind as if remembering something, "Bai brother, do you still want that little guy of yours?"
"He says he likes the vibe on the Black Pearl, send him to that ship."
The spy instantly showed a knowing smile, "Got it! Arranged!"
...
The two, in new attire, once again blended into the bustling crowd at Freeport.
In the main commercial district of Freeport, just after experiencing a crisis, not many figures were missing.
A place like Freeport wasn't really a safe zone; to some, what just happened was merely entertainment.
What did a tussle between big shots have to do with them, the small ones?
Life goes on with fighting and fussing.
However, as they actually reached the port amidst the crowd, the sea of lining heads waiting to depart seemed slightly suffocating.
Even if the crisis didn't cause panic, the accumulated flights all releasing at once certainly brought pressure from the congestion.
"So many people..."
"Indeed."
The two remained calm, appearing as mere ordinary passengers awaiting departure.
The youthful girl with pink hair snuggled up to the middle-aged stubbled man, her soft pink lips whispering only for the two of them to hear, "Wanna know what the promise between him and me is?"
Bai E whispered back casually, "What is it?"
The young girl adjusted her suitcase, her mouth curved in a mysterious smile, "It's... the treasure I am escorting."
