Chapter 224 This High-End Game
The hotel's large projection screen was switching between morning news.
"There is no doubt that in yesterday's terrorist attack, White Ghost once again turned the tide. He always appears in the right place and does the right thing when people need him. This is a true hero. He is a true hero!"
"The White Ghost should be on Yaha Star. He may be here for tourism, or he may have received the news early."
"With White Ghost here, we feel at ease. I'm an ordinary citizen and not very good at speaking, but I feel that White Ghost, with his ultimate personal heroism, is writing the glory and honor that an ancient empire should have. We should not put him on the wanted list, but tolerate him and treat him well. He will become our patron saint."
"Hey! Hey! Everyone! You are the elite of the press, are you going to have a boring debate here? I still hold the same opinion. If you admit that White Ghost is a hero, it will be an insult to all the soldiers of the empire."
"Compared to this imaginary hero, perhaps we can look at the real hero next to us who has done great deeds with his own strength - Hui Saka! This young detective used his intelligence to save the panicked crowd. This is the young man who deserves our praise on the news channel."
call out!
Yang Ming turned off the projection screen and rubbed his head a little tiredly.
Since late last night until now, his communicator has been ringing non-stop, as if the whole world has suddenly discovered his shining point, and he has been invited to TV shows and official seminars one after another.
Yang Ming originally wanted to reject them all.
But he thought again...what was the purpose of coming here?
Isn't it just to use Hui Saka's identity to gain fame? Now isn't this exactly what he wants?
Fortunately, Lu is a wage earner who does not need to rest. Yang Ming asked Lu to choose a few opportunities to show up. In two hours, he will start his busy day.
Now he's truly a famous detective.
Although the source of his fame is not solving any major cases.
026 Taking care of the Godoy family in secret, Yang Ming had to prepare breakfast by himself.
He got himself some fast food and wolfed it down while he finished the fight. He then searched for clothes he liked in Lu's wardrobe, which he had filled overnight, and finally chose a gray plaid dress.
By changing your hairstyle with the all-in-one styling machine, the temperament of a single nobleman will be instantly improved.
"boss!"
Ritsu's projection began to bloom from a Poké Ball and transformed into a figurine beautiful girl.
“I have good news!”
The fact that she dared to show up meant that the house was absolutely safe now.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"It seems that the Empire has started to create a star. They have started to spread entries about Hui Saka all over the Internet. It seems that they want to use Hui Saka to divert some of the traffic from White Ghost !"
Yang Ming: “…6.”
"Reduce the traffic flow and give attention to the victims."
Yang Ming thought briefly and said slowly, "We can't become famous too quickly, otherwise it will be easy to suffer backlash. We have already gained enough fame in this wave."
"Okay, boss," Lu nodded obediently, then began to hesitate again.
Yang Ming wondered, "What's wrong? Is there anything else that can stump our Miss Lu? Do you want a new processor? Or do you want to expand the capacity of your hard drive?"
"Boss," Lu asked in a low voice, "If we know how to trigger the hidden Zerg, will you choose to trigger it? As long as we create chaos in the empire and the White Ghost continues to fight against the Zerg, the White Ghost's reputation will continue to rise."
Yang Ming thought carefully.
Lu's question was definitely not aimless, which meant that Hera's experiment had made some progress.
Lu seemed to have mentioned last time that Hera’s latest research results seemed to be able to be tested and promoted.
"I act in my own self-interest," Yang Ming said. "However, if there are two ways to satisfy my self-interest, we will of course choose the one that causes the least number of innocent casualties."
"I see."
Lu pinched his chin and thought for a while.
Yang Ming asked: "Did Hera come up with something new?"
"According to Miss Hera's latest calculations, the Zerg may have deep protection and revenge mechanisms."
The law said quickly:
“In the past few years, fifty-two Zerg tribes have suffered catastrophic destruction within the empire’s borders.
“Although these space Zergs were bred by the New Federation, they are also independent Zerg groups. They have now triggered a joint protection mechanism. Information is exchanged between groups, and they are hiding completely in their respective hiding places.
"If the Empire masters new detection methods, such as our active luring detectors that have passed the second phase of testing, it is very likely that more hidden Zerg will be found.
"We estimate that there are at least sixty hidden swarms in the empire today, and they are developing silently."
Yang Ming leaned back: "What's so worthy of agonizing over this issue?"
"Well, isn't it worth agonizing over?"
"Of course, although I don't like the Empire, the Zerg are the enemy of mankind, and this is a matter of right and wrong."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"If we discover the Zerg in advance, can't we take precautions in advance? Even if the Zerg has a retaliation mechanism, the Empire has dreadnoughts and super fortresses.
"If we allow these insects to develop steadily for ten or twenty years, or if they are still in a state of accelerated differentiation and reproduction, then it will cause a true disaster for the entire territory. At that time, the insect swarm's revenge mechanism will also be triggered."
Lu whispered, "I'm just struggling over whether we should find and destroy the hidden insect swarms now, or wait ten years to create new development opportunities."
Yang Ming: …
Lu said with some guilt:
“Keeping these bugs hidden is in line with our Dark Star development plan in the long run.
“After all, only when Luo Feng and Dark Star are strong enough can we bite off a piece of meat from the empire when the empire falls into chaos.
"Even if more humans will be killed or injured."
Yang Ming was silent.
Okay, he misunderstood Xiaolu.
When considering issues, the law will not be bound by the moral constraints of human society, but will purely stand from the perspective of interests.
This is not wrong, Yang Ming also needs Lu to give similar advice.
"Lv, there are some things we can do and some things we can't do," Yang Ming said slowly, "If it were Levi Sherman, he would probably choose to let the Zerg accumulate strength and severely damage the empire in the future."
Lu nodded slightly.
"But I am not the previous assessor."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“Although doing so may cause me to lose opportunities ten years from now, who can predict what will happen ten years from now? My goal is not to build a powerful empire that will last forever, and building power is only to serve my goal.
"Promote the active induction detection device, so that Ms. Molly can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the imperial military supply system and gain the most benefits."
"Okay, boss! Just make up your mind. I'm just an employee. I'll listen to you in everything."
"Well, we will have other development opportunities. This unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice will only increase my psychological burden," Yang Ming shrugged. "Maybe this is the fundamental reason why Levi Sherman lost resonance."
"Oh, yeah," Lu said with a look of realization, "I think I heard the teacher say something similar."
"Help me plan today's schedule."
Yang Ming cleared away the messy thoughts in his mind, cheered himself up, and began to prepare for the next round of public appearances.
Buzz, buzz!
[Catherine (Captain): Great Detective, would you like to have dinner with me? I have something to ask you.]
Yang Ming suddenly became a little worried.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Catherine is a powerful super-modifier, and she has had more contact with me in the past two days.
What flaw did she see?
At this stage, there are a large number of cyborgs and super cyborgs on Yaha Star, and there is also a powerful imperial fleet on the periphery. If his identity is discovered, he will have nowhere to escape.
【Hui (unemployed detective): Dinner date?】
[Catherine (Captain): Do you need to think about it for one minute and twenty-eight seconds? Okay, I will switch to a chat software that can display read messages later.]
Yang Ming: Actually, it’s okay not to talk about it.
【Hui (unemployed detective): Hahaha, see you tonight. 】
"Law calculates the possibility of my current exposure and pushes out the risk in advance."
"Yes, boss."
…
Grace felt like he was being driven crazy.
He put his hands in his hair, looking at the projection screens in front of him, and his whole body seemed a little dazed.
After searching for a whole day and night, I was unable to capture any useful information. The white ghost seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air. It clearly left so many traces on the Internet in a very short time, but these traces disappeared quietly without any directional information.
The only breakthrough point - the COS costume worn by White Ghost during the live broadcast, was also proved to be invalid information.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of COS costumes of the same style on the Yaha Star market. This has been the hottest COS product in the past few months.
"Give it up."
The soft voice entered Gris's ears, instantly perking him up.
Bly passed by with a drink in his hand and said in a gentle voice, "White Ghost's technological strength has always been superior to ours. This is a fact that all the senior executives must acknowledge. We found his base last time, and because he retreated in a hurry, we also obtained some advanced technology. This is the best proof."
"How could a living person just evaporate?"
Gris sighed:
“The Imperial Star Circle is an area with relatively developed infrastructure and protective facilities. If we can’t catch the White Ghost here, we will have no chance later.
“Besides, because of the terrorist attack, we have raised the security level to the maximum at this stage. If he wants to leave Yaha Star, he needs to have his bones scanned and his biological information tested. It is unlikely that he can leave now.
"He must be hiding right under our noses! Even if we search door to door , we should be able to find some clues."
Bly nodded slowly and asked, "If we find him, what should we do? Captain Gris, what do you think?"
"That's not what I want to consider," Gris stretched, "The order I received is to find the white ghost."
Bly continued to ask: "Do you think the current wanted order is correct?"
"Of course not," Gris thought carefully, "but is it correct that the White Ghost has always been outside the Empire's system?"
Bly looked thoughtful.
Grace said: "I respect White Ghost more than anyone else, but I hope he can face up to the existence of the Empire, join us and become a part of us."
Bly smiled and said slowly: "He may have a greater goal and is unwilling to be bound by the empire."
"Maybe," Gris said with a wry smile, "I will definitely find him."
Not far away, a girl wearing a golden mask and a floral dress walked by.
Gris stared blankly for a few seconds and muttered, "What a great figure. Uh, is that your captain?"
"Be careful or she'll dig your eyes out ," Bray said sinisterly.
Gris clicked his tongue and quickly looked away.
None of these super-modified ones are normal, and each one is definitely more brutal than the other!
"Captain Gris, Bly," Catherine's voice came from a distance, "I have a dinner date with a friend tonight. You two have worked hard these past two days. Do you want to come with me?"
Grace blinked and smiled, "Well, I'm still busy."
But Bly said: "Captain, aren't you going to date Hui?"
"Date?" Catherine walked out of the captain's lounge, crossed her arms and stared at the two guys. "What gave you the illusion that I need a relationship? I just want to chat with him and let you two observe him."
Gris smiled and said, "Observe him? Why?"
"I suspect he's the White Ghost," Catherine whispered.
Bly frowned slightly: "Why?"
"It's just a suspicion," Catherine said. "I don't have any evidence. The evidence I found proves that he is not the one. For example, the timing and the fact that I have been in close contact with him. But at some point in time, I always felt that the way he spoke to the White Ghost was very similar."
"Tai Saka, the famous detective?"
Gris smiled and said, "I actually compared them before. He is not. White Ghost's real name is Hanton, Captain Hanton. I have photos of White Ghost's original appearance and skeletal analysis here."
"Give me one."
Catherine turned around and walked back to her lounge. She was going to try on a few more pieces of clothing that she had rarely worn before.
Before entering the door, she turned her head and leaned back, saying quickly:
"I still hope that you two can come. It's certainly not because I'm nervous about being alone with him. I just feel that it's necessary to verify it... so that I can continue to be friends with him without worry."
"Okay," Bray nodded with a smile, "I'm just fine."
Grace yawned and said, "Then I'll keep looking for a while. Just call me when you go down. Your love strategy team members are always available."
He spoke the second half of the sentence very quietly.
In the room, Catherine looked at the clothes in the closet and felt a little confused.
Do you want some off-field assistance?
She does have a few good friends, such as her boss and several other super-changers who survived the same period.
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Detective Hui Saka, who had just finished a meeting with the local mayor, took an ordinary taxi to the lobby of a luxury hotel and took the elevator directly to the restaurant on the top floor.
Preliminary screening has been completed in all locations, and residents and tourists have resumed free movement.
Although a terrorist attack had just occurred, the atmosphere of life on Yaha Star has begun to recover rapidly.
There were not many guests in the restaurant, and Yang Ming immediately saw the beautiful figure sitting behind the floor-to-ceiling window.
Catherine shrunk her golden mask by half, turning it into the size of an eyepatch. Her face, which was rarely admired by others, exuded the most beautiful youthfulness of a young girl.
She was wearing a light white evening gown, which made her look a little more fragile and less domineering than when she was wearing combat uniform and holding a slashing sword.
“This way!”
Catherine raised her hand to wave, and Yang Ming was about to walk over with a smile.
He had just taken half a step when his heart suddenly tightened.
There is a problem.
Not far behind Catherine, Catherine's immediate superior, the middle-aged woman, was holding an electronic newspaper to cover her face, and near her were three cyborgs with powerful energy fluctuations in their bodies.
They should all be super modifiers.
In another corner...Bryan and Gris? How did these two get together?
If you count Bligh, there are a total of five Super Modifiers here, and one regular Modifier with excellent command abilities.
The Hongmen Banquet?
Did he make a mistake somewhere, or did Bligh break free from his mental control?
"Master, please relax a little," Bly's voice rang in Yang Ming's mind, "Although I don't know what the captain is doing, she probably doesn't want to deal with you."
Yang Ming gently rubbed the tip of his index finger with his right thumb, quickly calmed his mind, and walked over with a smile.
Wait and see what happens, then suddenly take action.
This high-end game was all thanks to his ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
