Walk alone in the abyss

Earl Ent died tragically at home, his death was almost the same as that of Prince Vinos, wearing a lady's long skirt, a pair of blue high heels on his feet, and messy makeup on his face.

At the scene of the crime, Yang Ming squatted in front of a footprint in the corner, slightly lost in thought.

Several old police officers were extracting physical evidence at the scene, and a police officer brought in a panoramic camera to convert all the details of the scene into data and generate a holographic virtual crime scene.

"Sir."

Yang Ming stood up and looked at several police officers at the side: "Speak."

The police officers spoke one after another:

"Just like the previous case, there is no satellite data, nearby monitoring data, or module memory data."

"Not only the data, but also no relevant biological information was detected on site, and the number of microorganisms is also extremely low, obviously it has been processed."

"This footprint is the only one left by the other party."

Yang Ming nodded, looked down at the footprints, and said in a low voice, "It's military boots."

The officers were silent.

Yang Ming said: "Sort out all the information on the scene, try to be as detailed as possible, and then report it."

"But, sir."

A young looking police officer hesitated and said in a low voice:

"All the information at the crime scene last time is kept confidential. We have not announced the number, location, and angle of the stabbed Prince Vinos, but Earl Ent's injury status...it is too similar Now, is it really a gang running around to commit crimes?"

Yang Ming stared at the police officer, and said slowly: "Just treat this as a homicide case and investigate it. The two cases should not be merged for the time being. I will lower your authority later."

"Mr. Ghost..."

"Don't ask why, just do as I said, the murderer is obviously not something you ordinary police can handle."

"yes."

Yang Ming looked down at the footprint again, and sighed in his heart.

He doesn't want to see the old emperor now.

The counterattack from the Elder's House is equivalent to directly riding on the face. The old emperor must be in a state of rage now.

But he had to go to the emperor.

The alloy door at the scene was also kicked open. The force of kicking the door was quite huge, and it was not an ordinary reformer who kicked the door.

The last time Yang Ming deliberately kicked the door to leave some obvious clues, the intention was to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

And the other party left this trace because they wanted to tell Yang Ming in turn:

The personal power of the white ghost is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the elders' house.

What Yang Ming can do, they can also easily do.

Since the emperor wanted to go to war, the elders representing the great aristocratic group of the empire gladly accepted the fight.

...

at the same time.

Elder's House, Legislative Court, and the Great Elder's lounge where Yang Ming stayed.

There are no idlers inside and outside the house, and there are two layers of light-shielding film inside and outside to ensure that the conversation here will not have the risk of leakage.

More than 20 elderly people were standing or sitting, and the 'hookah' smoked by the Great Elder made the place smoky, and most of them kept silent.

An elder suddenly patted the handrail and cursed: "Unexpectedly, this hateful white ghost, under such circumstances, still captured our people!"

"Catch it," the Great Elder said with a smile, "Haven't you heard? Just ask them to go back and assist in the investigation."

All the elders spoke one after another:

"The police force of the public security station dared to break into the court. This is the first time in the history of the empire."

"There is no clear law prohibiting these, but according to the supplementary regulation No. V2304 of the Council of the Elders, when crimes involving nobles are involved, the security teams of the Emperor Star and the Emperor Star Circle can directly arrest suspects in the power department and in public after obtaining the privilege. people."

"It's okay to take it back. Earl Ent died tragically at home, with the same death and the same signs, and the three of them have alibi. Even if the white ghost wants to frame him, he can't produce evidence."

"You say, what kind of reaction will our great Majesty have?"

"It should be smashing something."

"Many of the people we arranged in the palace module have been cleared out. Now there are only a few who can contact His Majesty, and there is no way to observe His Majesty all day long."

"What's the reaction from the military?"

"The defense force announced the rotation of airtight training. Simply put, it means that they will not get involved in the surface affairs of the Emperor Star for the time being. They dare not get involved."

"Don't dare?" An old man sneered, "The military department will report directly to His Majesty. No matter who wins the noble class or the imperial power, it will have no effect on them. They want money, money, and ships. Who can restrict them?" them?"

"Is there no sense of crisis in the military department? If His Majesty really wants to untie the shackles and take back the legislative seat of the Council of Elders, the next step will be to reform the military system."

"Your Majesty may have given some promises to the military department."

The Great Elder sighed: "The problem now is that we still don't know why His Majesty did this. We all respect His Majesty very much. His Majesty's order is the highest instruction followed by the Elder's House, but Your Majesty wants to use the knife in reverse. Target us."

"Yeah, this change is too sudden."

One person said: "It may be the victory against the Zerg and the New Federation, which made His Majesty taste the pleasure of all eyes on him."

None of the elders dared to speak.

"Elder, what should we do next?"

"Earl Ent was killed, we are all heartbroken, and we should focus on finding the murderer first," the elder took a sip of tea, "Later, the elders issued an order to send several elders to the public security station to supervise the progress of the case, what do you think? How about it?"

The group of elders nodded their heads.

The Great Elder sighed softly: "This white ghost is too young and vigorous."

Some elders laughed and said, "Young people don't understand the political situation, stability, and rules. Actually, it's understandable."

"It's not that he doesn't understand."

The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly:

"He understands very well, understands thoroughly!

"Before he was standing here, in this position, and told me with his head up that the murderer was right here.

"Careful, what is this?

"Do you think he is threatening us that if today's election is not the result he wants to see, he will arrest all the outstanding elders we have elected?

"You're wrong. He's telling me that he killed the prince, and His Majesty gave the order. If the House of Elders doesn't cooperate, Prince Vinos will be our fate. He's threatening me."

A group of old people each laughed a few times.

"You're just young."

"Your Majesty thinks that if he masters an ancient god reformer, he will be able to frighten us old men."

"Emperor Star does not allow such a powerful existence. His Majesty asked us to transfer all the super-reformers here, which is really in our hands."

"The super-reformer redoes the matter of ideological imprinting, so let's delay it."

"I still have to find a way to keep the white ghost, an eyesore, from wandering around on the Emperor Star. The Emperor Star is a small temple, and it can't accommodate him, an ancient god reformer."

The group of old people fell silent again, as if they were thinking about something.

The Great Elder smiled and said: "Go back, send a few people to keep an eye on the white ghost. If he wants to enter the palace, we will go to see His Majesty together. Remember, we must arrive at the palace a few minutes earlier than him."

The elders nodded in agreement, and left the smoky lounge sparsely.

...

Yang Ming and Catherine's dormitory suite.

"Super changer?"

Catherine looked at the troubled Yang Ming in front of her, and her pretty face became a little nervous.

"You mean, the Elder's House let the super reformers take action?"

"Well, judging from the traces at the scene, it can only be that the super-reformer attacked Earl Ent, and it's not just a super-reformer."

Yang Ming sighed:

"The House of Elders will fight back today, which is actually within my expectation, but I didn't expect that the elders would dare to directly kill the young elders appointed by the emperor.

"I usually see these old guys respectful in front of the emperor, and they don't dare to breathe. I didn't expect to be so rebellious in their bones."

Yang Ming made himself laugh as he spoke.

Catherine couldn't help pacing back and forth, her eyes were a little anxious.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"What if they use the super-reformers to deal with you?" Catherine pursed her lips tightly. "The emperor has been ignoring political affairs for decades, and now he wants to take back his power so fiercely. It will definitely cause shock."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it well, if I want to get benefits, how can I not take some risks."

"But……"

"It's okay," Yang Ming said softly, "You just need to understand one truth, no one is invincible, and all the ultimate weapons of the empire are ultimately in the hands of the emperor."

Catherine bit her lip lightly, and took the initiative to embrace Yang Ming.

Through her turtleneck sweater, Yang Ming lightly stroked her back, staring out of the window for a little while.

Yang Ming said: "Catherine, pay attention to your own safety when you are on patrol recently. This storm is expected to last for half a month to a month."

"Well, don't worry about me, you are the one to be careful of," Catherine said in a low voice, "My golden mask can not only prevent mental shock, but also improve my nerve response speed and sensitivity to the environment. I'll just keep it on for a while."

Yang Ming said: "If the Elder's Court asks you about me, don't hide them, except for the details of the Prince's case, you can tell them everything else."

"Why?"

"They have nothing to do with me. If you want to help me, you must learn to protect yourself wisely now."

Catherine pursed her lips slightly, gave a soft 'hmm', and asked in a low voice: "Everything we do now is beneficial to the people of the empire, right?"

"Of course, if these great nobles who suck the blood of the empire can live in peace, the welfare that the people can get will naturally increase."

Catherine's eyes gradually lost doubts, and she leaned against Yang Ming's shoulder, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.

Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly.

Carrying Catherine on his back, Yang Ming picked up his watch and saw the message sent by Li:

【Boss, the elders' house has mobilized 12 unregistered overhaulers. These overhaulers are expected to land on the emperor's star tonight on a supply ship that transports ingredients for the emperor's star. 】

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

Still calling people?

It seems that the strength of the Elder's House on the Emperor Star is not enough.

Hum, buzz!

The communicator in Yang Ming's arms vibrated violently.

"Are you going to be busy?"

Catherine asked softly.

Yang Ming smiled, held her face in both hands, lowered his head and kissed her lips forcefully, and said softly, "Be careful."

"I should be the one who said that to you," Catherine sighed softly.

She smoothed out the folds of Yang Ming's dress, sent Yang Ming to the door of the house, and watched Yang Ming enter the building's elevator.

Catherine closed the door and leaned her back against the cold metal door, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

After thinking about it for about four or five minutes, Catherine probably didn't come to any conclusions, and the worry in her brows didn't dissipate.

She took out her shell-shaped communicator and sat down at the dining table.

The shell popped up on the projection screen with a light black background. Catherine entered more than a dozen commands in a row, entered an encrypted chat room, and sent a summoning message.

Soon, there were more than 30 avatars in the chat room.

The emperor star is isolated from the outside world, and every avatar in the chat room represents a super reformer who is currently on the emperor star.

'A01: Has anyone received, or heard of, the killing order from the Elder's House? '

'N02: Not really. '

'C02: The white ghost seems to be confronting the House of Elders head-on, will he be our enemy? '

'D04: Stop kidding! White ghost, he can beat us as a group! Why would this kind of person break up with the elders' house? Didn't he just get a title in the House of Elders? '

'I06: This has nothing to do with us, we are only controlled by the elders' house, not their killing machine. '

'B02: Tsk tsk tsk, another perverted honorary earl has died, a good death. '

'D04: Good death. '

'C01: Good death. '

'N02: Good death...'

Catherine saw that the group chat had turned into a meaningless copy, copied it casually and sent it again, and closed the chat room.

At this stage, the two sides are still in the initial stage of confrontation. The Elder's House should not directly attack the white ghost. This is the Emperor Star, and the imperial power is supreme.

This should be.

...

The only relatively 'intelligent' machine on Emperor Star is the unmanned suspension vehicle.

However, this kind of suspension vehicle departs on a fixed route and at a fixed time, similar to a small bus, and its intelligence is not high.

Yang Ming turned on his communicator and began to look up Earl Ent's file, trying to figure out how he should classify the earl's death and the murder of the prince as 'imitation crimes'.

He waited on the side of the road for two minutes, and a black suspension car slowly stopped in front of him, and the rear door opened by itself.

Yang Ming lowered his head and got in, set the forward path, the hover car smoothly slid into the fast lane, turned a corner, and merged into the busy main road.

The time in the car will not be too long, and it will take about three minutes to reach the palace module.

Every time he entered the palace, it took a lot of time to go through the security system on the surface. Every time, more than a dozen scanners scanned him randomly.

Elderly House.

Tsk, this elder's house is much more difficult to deal with than I thought.

He thought it was a crushing game, and the imperial power could win easily, but he didn't expect that this group of elders who were usually cowardly and cowardly would suddenly start to get ruthless.

Emperors kill princes, they kill counts.

Next, the two sides continue to fight, you kill one and I kill the other?

If the relationship is good, it is completely a "hundred-year project to eradicate harm for the people". It is best to kill a group of nobles on both sides, so that I, an outsider, can get more credit.

Didi!

More than a dozen anonymous chat messages popped up on Yang Ming's communicator.

[White Ghost, aren't you the strongest imperial warrior? 】

[There is a shaped bomb under the car, it will be detonated after the countdown ends, and you have ten seconds to escape. 】

[10],

【9】,

【8】……

Yang Ming suddenly raised his head.

He reacted in almost a second, his figure bounced straight up, smashed the ship-grade reinforced glass of the sunroof with a punch, his figure came out like a cannonball, and he grabbed the edge of the car's hole with his backhand.

Spiritual power surged from between his brows, and a crimson wave rushed outward against the traffic flow.

Yang Ming turned over and shook his hands, and let out a low growl, the hover car was equivalent to being pulled up two meters high by his mental power.

[4],

【3】.

Yang Ming kicked hard with his right foot, the hover car flew out of the fast lane, smashed the arched glass of the hover lane, and flew towards the relatively empty space on the ground.

【1】.

hum!

The air is shaking.

The blue-white light sphere illuminates several modules on the surface of Emperor Star!

A huge air wave suddenly surged towards the direction of the hovering car. Half a second later, a more violent air wave gushed out from the light sphere, the light sphere expanded violently, and the strong light chased Yang Ming who was rushing towards the other side of the fast lane.

Shaped energy bombs for ships!
