After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

Who am I...?

Spah saw Taiziyoros give up on his fate and be smashed to pieces by Kripper with a hammer.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The sound of the hammer seemed to strike Spah's heart.

Spah felt a jolt of inner turmoil and a strange sense of oppression, but then a surge of hot blood welled up inside him.

Correct!

I am Spa!

Formerly a debt collector for the Interstellar Peace Corporation, now a ruthless hunter for the Ocean Patrol! I am both the [Guardian] and the [Hunter]!

With this thought, Spa awoke. But as soon as he awoke, he saw Kripper's amber body appear before him.

Wow! It's huge!

Spall saw that Cripper's body was so large that he could not see the edges, and even his arms and torso were made of planets.

Even though he had long since resigned from his former company, Spah was still deeply shaken when he witnessed the Amber King's divine form.

Let's continue to practice storage protection!

Cripper unleashed his divine power, raised his heavy hammer high, and with a clang, smashed it straight down on Spall's forehead.

In an instant, golden waves of heat surged through the universe. Spah's head buzzed, and he heard creaking sounds in his ears. He couldn't see anything, only felt a slight pain in his chest and abdomen, followed by a tremendous force.

When Spah regained his senses, he found that the simulated universe had disappeared, and he was lying on his back with his four legs in the air, with a snow-white ceiling in front of him.

"Ah? Spa-gege, are you alright? Waaah... Teacher Heita, what happened to you? Spa-gege, did you kill someone?"

Spall heard Estelle's anxious voice, got up, looked around, and found the Black Tower Doll lying not far away.

The doll was crackling with electricity and had been torn to pieces. Estella, meanwhile, was clutching the broken doll, tears welling in her eyes.

"..."

Spall didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to comfort the girl, he heard footsteps trembling beside him.

Another Black Tower doll approached. Ignoring the surprised Estelle, she lowered her head slightly and murmured to herself:

"Why? The experiment brought up Cripper? That shouldn't be the case... What does he have to do with Fuli? Or is there something wrong with the experimental subject?"

Black Tower glanced at Spa, stopped, pondered for a long time, and shook his head like a rattle drum.

“Regarding Spa, Ruan Mei reminded me: Don’t judge anything by appearances; the truth often lies hidden behind a veil…”

"Huh? Could it be..."

Black Tower had a guess in his mind. He turned his head, took quick short steps, and ran up to Spall, saying:

"Quick! Go get tested again! Hurry!"

"I reject!"

Spah reached out and pushed the black tower aside. In his mind, he recalled the square skirt. 、H chat ( 9) Phosphorus Liu Si Liu Ni Ba Emu Ba Cai encountered the situation of Kripper.

That was the first time he had stood almost at zero distance in front of the Amber King; even an Envoy would not have encountered such an encounter.

Something is very wrong...

If we continue testing, the secret might be exposed.

Spall pondered for a moment, then briefly said goodbye to Estelle, turned and left, leaving Black Tower behind him, calling out "Hey, hey, hey" incessantly.

"Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting, Lady Black Tower. It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting fellow."

Black Tower stared at Spa's retreating figure, clenching the doll's small hand, which made a creaking sound.

……

Spatha, after leaving the observation deck, passed through several cabins and brushed past dozens of staff members.

After a while, he finally found an empty room, quickened his pace, and ran inside.

"call"

Spah let out a long breath. He wanted to use the artifact directly, but fearing being disturbed, he summoned the virtual keyboard and began typing away.

Five seconds later!

With a click, the hatch locked.

Spall didn't rush to use the strange object. Instead, he leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and his mind gradually calmed down.

A moment later, he pressed the key on the keyboard, summoned the storage module, and released two newly acquired strange items.

One of the items was a dark brown calligraphy brush, light and delicate. The other was a pink photo album, seemingly designed for a young girl.

The screen of the Ether system displays a description of the artifact:

[Name of the unusual object: Ma Liang's Brush.]

[Function: Manipulates memory, enabling drawn objects to become real. Applicable to both living and non-living things.]

When drawing, it's not necessary to understand the object's construction principles. However, the actual generated object may differ from what you imagine.

Those destined for memory and pleasure experience increased generation accuracy and gain control over generated objects.

……

[Item Name: Memory Album]

[Function: Recreates scenes from photos, videos, memory bubbles, light cones, etc., forming a space. Everything in the space is indistinguishable from reality and can be freely manipulated.]

After a period of busy work, there were some gains to be made.

It wasn't a wasted trip!

As a former company executive, Spah couldn't help but feel delighted to see the treasures being stored away. He nodded and smiled.

He examined it for a while before suppressing his smile, putting away the Ma Liang brush, and carefully unfolding the memory album.

Spah lightly flipped his hand, picked up a light cone, and placed it in the photo album, but the album did not react.

Spall wasn't in a hurry. He simply closed the album gently, covered the cover with his palm, and rubbed it repeatedly. After a while, the album began to glow pink.

The pink light spread, obscuring the entire view. When Spah turned around, he found himself no longer at the space station.

The surrounding area was a filthy warehouse, covered in dust, and filled with the smell of burning. The Annihilation Gang had gathered together, drinking and partying.

Finally, we're back in this scene.

Spah raised an eyebrow, took a deep breath, shifted his gaze, and saw the Fool standing not far ahead.

A surge of emotion welled up within him. Spah clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, and strode over to the Fool's side.

Just like last time, the Fool bent his fingers to cover the phone screen.

Spah held his breath, gently gripped the phone case, and slowly pulled it out, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

After a slight pause, the phone moved four centimeters, revealing a string of text. Spah was secretly pleased, but still cautiously gripped the phone tightly and peeked out.

He noticed an extra line of coordinates on the screen. Spaden paused, startled by the name.

……

We're finally leaving the space station.

The space station storyline is basically just for the main characters to show off their skills; it's kind of like a big trailer (laughs)~

The fun is about to begin!

Chapter 32 Target! A Barren Land!

【Desolate Land - Flowing Light Bar】

No bounty hunter is unfamiliar with this place.

Spa had been dragged to the tavern for drinks by Potio on more than one occasion.

It's not that there are any famous wines there, or that the girls in the bars are particularly beautiful. It's just that the desolate area is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and punk bars are especially a gathering place for all kinds of characters.

As Potio once said, "If you ever happen to be short of credits, go to the Wasteland. Just grab any random passerby there, and you're guaranteed to be either a wanted criminal or a bounty hunter."

Having said this, Potio picked up his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted:

"If I'm lying or bragging, you can shoot me dead..."

Before he could finish speaking, Potio fell asleep.

Although Spall was curious whether this was true or not, he was lazy by nature and did not actually go to the desolate land to randomly grab people.

I feel... that fool's journey to the desolate land won't end well.

Spall thought to himself, shifting his gaze to the left side of his phone, where he saw the date the Fool had arrived at the bar.

"The time is tomorrow... Hmm, there's still time."

Spah exhaled, reached out, opened the memory album, took out the light cone, and returned to the space station.

He took a step forward, put on his headphones, and listened to a light and cheerful melody—"Stillness" by the Flowers Band.

The melody grew increasingly urgent. Spa shook his head frantically, gradually becoming absorbed in his own world, no longer able to hear the clerks' conversation. A short while later, Spa found his own spaceship and climbed inside.

The cabin remained deserted, cluttered with colorful miscellaneous items. Spa pushed aside the clutter, and the music changed to Sum41's "War".

Accompanied by a melody like ocean waves, Spa opened the refrigerator, stuffed it full of snacks he had smuggled from the space station, then tore open a potato chip box and began to chew on it with a crunchy sound, as he walked toward the cockpit.

Snapped!

Spall pressed the green button, the spaceship took off, entered the black starry sky, and with a loud boom, it warped away.

The other spaceship remained nearby.

The spaceship was entirely black, twice the size of Spa's, and its thrusters and cannons were top-of-the-line in the universe.

Strangely, the top of the spaceship is decorated with two black pointed cones, resembling two cat ears. The hull is also covered with cat stickers.

The interior of the spaceship was neat, clean, and even somewhat simple. The outer living room contained only a dining table and a row of sofas.

Silver Wolf spread his legs wide, slumped on the sofa, his body relaxed, almost completely sinking into the leather.

But in front of her stood a mecha standing perfectly straight.

The mecha is tall and pure white, with gold decorative lines, giving it a very mechanical look.

What's most striking are the high, protruding shoulder flaps on both sides of the mecha, which make him look like a general, exuding a sense of power.

Crack! Crack!

The mecha took two steps, walked to the sofa, sat down, pressed itself tightly against Silver Wolf, and spoke in a deep voice:

[Silver Wolf, Kafka said: You met Spa, and the two eloped. This hurts me deeply.]

"How about you, Sam, and Ah Xing go somewhere far away and see what it's like?"

Silver Wolf rolled his eyes.

[Leave? That's not in the script.]

"Because I made it up. Seriously, if you like someone, go for it. If you can't get them, just go for it. If all else fails, I'll lend you a few dating simulation games, like 'Confirmation Case Files' and 'Love and Manager'..."

【…】

Sam didn't say anything, but the engine noise increased significantly.

Unaware of what was happening, the silver wolf continued:

"No, you and Xing are both girls... I don't understand yuri, but Spah recommended a music game called 'Ban Boom,' you could try it. He also said he's a fan of Hatsune Miku and Shoko..."

Silver Wolf spoke for a long time, but Sam didn't respond at all.

Suddenly, Silver Wolf felt a heat beside him and smelled a burning odor. He turned his head and saw smoke coming from the sofa and flames coming from Sam.

Sam raised his arm, revealing a palm cannon, and aimed it at Silver Wolf. Orange flames shot out from the palm cannon.

"Ugh, I surrender! Actually, I found something on the space station that might interest you."

Silver Wolf raised his hands and pursed his lips.

She dared not truly anger Sam. In Silver Wolf's eyes, in terms of destructive power alone, Spa, without the Keystone, might not be stronger than Sam.

【Say it! 】

Sam spoke rapidly, still holding his arm high, but he stopped firing the palm cannon.
