Chapter 244: Storm is Coming
On the sky of the main star, Li Yu's sad expression was clearly reflected, slowly telling his painful experience.
"...DarkStar is the embodiment of evil..."
"...DarkStar is the embodiment of darkness..."
"...DarkStar is the embodiment of terror..."
Among the many civilizations that have reached broadcasting agreements with Guixing, Li Yu's face appears on the projection screens of every household.
According to Li Yu, Anxing is a powerful and tyrannical character who feels itchy all over if he doesn't kill anyone every day, which is terrifying.
"...He..." Li Yu's eyes were slightly red, as if he remembered some tragic experience: "...It is also my nightmare. I often wake up from my dream and see him standing at the head of my bed. Cold sweat soaks my back..."
Prince Connor felt a little speechless. He was addicted to acting, right? There didn't seem to be such a scene in the speech.
"Ahem..." He coughed twice, feeling that if he continued like this, the drama would be a bit too much. He took a step forward and said with a little sadness:
"Baron Li Yu's emotions are a little out of control. I will tell the story from now on."
Li Yu was silently pushed away by Connor, and suddenly felt a little unhappy because he hadn't finished speaking yet.
The many reporters and flying cameras below immediately shifted their focus to Connor.
Connor waved his hand, and a huge holographic screen was projected behind him, with a large amount of information emerging.
"According to our investigation, this Dark Star has been funded by the Star Empire for a long time and has been carrying out secret activities in the ownerless galaxy..."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar. When it came to the Star Empire, it would always attract more attention.
"You mean, the Xinhe virus was released by the Xingyao Empire?"
Immediately, a reporter couldn't wait to ask questions. Connor looked solemn and frowned slightly. He glanced at his name tag and shook his head, saying, "This reporter from Gust News, it's not time for you to ask questions yet..."
"But..." He changed the subject and said, "I can answer your question..."
"Although there is already a lot of evidence proving that the Xinhe virus originated from Dark Star's warships, there is no evidence that the virus was released by the Star Empire..."
Connor said in a heavy tone: "As the top civilization in the universe, the Star Empire is responsible for guiding and supervising other civilizations."
"I believe... they will give an explanation for this matter."
At this moment, Connor's posture was sacred and pious, as if he firmly agreed with his own words.
He looked at Li Yu and his stomach rose. How come Edwin looked nothing like his father?
There were still a lot of questions to follow up, and Connor picked out a few that were not so sharp to answer, but the meaning was -
"The Star Empire is definitely not the mastermind. We believe in Big Brother Star."
This is really disgusting. This doesn't mean he believes in the Starry Empire. This is clearly hinting that this matter must be related to the Starry Empire.
At the same time, DarkStar's information was also widely disseminated. The connection between DarkStar and the Star Empire was no secret.
A little investigation will reveal that they are all solid evidence and not forged.
For a time, Li Yu was once again at the center of public attention. The recipient of the Gold Cross Medal identified the mastermind behind the Xinhe virus at the awarding ceremony.
At the same time, Li Yu's past of being wanted was dug up again, adding some persuasiveness to his statement.
The reason why Li Yu has gained such a great reputation on Guixing has a lot to do with his wanted list.
Because he was not convicted of a heinous crime, such as massacre, murder... these crimes that are against human ethics.
It was about kidnapping the emperor and nobles. It was later confirmed that Anxing had taken over the entire Tianhuang Star, forcing him to do so in order to survive.
There is also a strategic plan to destroy the Xingyao Empire, which has nothing to do with Guixing, and many people even applaud it.
"...If Anxing sees this news, he will be furious..." Li Yu said half-jokingly and half-seriously in the backstage.
"Even if he is angry, he can't come and kill you." Connor didn't care.
"Who knows..." Li Yu said casually: "Maybe there will be some stupid tricks, such as saying that I am the one who poisoned the food."
Connor glanced at him and frowned, "He shouldn't be so stupid..."
"It's hard to say..." Li Yu shook his head, looking unfathomable.
…
Somewhere in the universe, a dilapidated warship is sailing slowly, seemingly aimlessly.
"How dare you!?"
An Xing stared at the figure on the screen with angry eyes, his whole body trembling.
After leaving the ownerless galaxy, he never cared about the virus at all, because in his mind, it was just a small matter.
It was just this small matter, but suddenly he was blamed for a shit incident, and it was his old enemy... No, it was some ant who blamed him.
Ever since he was beaten up last time, Anxing has been paying attention to any information about Li Yu. Although he sneered at the awarding ceremony this time, he still watched it against his will.
Then a shit pot fell on my face.
An Xing's face was uncertain. He suddenly remembered that he did find something wrong with his mothership at that time.
But he was in a hurry to find Liu Xing's father, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Since the virus was not caused by him, there is only one possibility - Li Yu!
Because at that time, he was sure that the only person on the mothership was Li Yu!
In an instant, he understood that since Li Yu had gained great reputation in Guixing, he must eliminate the tricks he had done in the past, and the Xinhe virus was the biggest black spot.
And he became the best scapegoat!
An Xing was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. On the one hand, it was because of Li Yu's frame-up, and on the other hand, it was because he actually had such a powerful weapon against Li Yu, but he didn't know it all along.
Now he was being used by the other party, but in fact, he knew nothing about the virus. If Li Yu hadn't put the blame on him, he would have found it difficult to make the connection.
Buzz - the smart terminal vibrated continuously. He glanced at the display, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to answer the call.
"My Lord wants to speak to you..."
On the black screen, white sound waves rose and fell, but no words without any emotional fluctuations came out.
An Xing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
He hung up the call and walked to another cabin, where a peculiar-looking smart terminal was placed.
There are many styles of general smart terminals, including portable watch style, minimalist glasses style, nostalgic pocket watch style, and classic brick style.
Although there are many styles, they are all small and exquisite without exception, but the smart terminal in front of you is huge, occupying half of the room, with complicated and dense mechanical parts.
When you start the smart terminal, you will see layer upon layer of encryption locks on the screen, which is very complicated.
Anxing carefully entered various passwords and verified his vital signs before successfully opening the smart terminal. This huge smart terminal had only one function - communication link.
Beep, beep, beep…
The time waiting for communication permission seemed to be very long.
beep.
The notification sound indicating the communication was established rang out, and the screen suddenly went black. A blurry face appeared on the screen, like a facial outline drawn by blocks of pixels.
The other party remained silent, and Anxing was also silent.
"You disappoint me so much..."
The blurry figure moved, and the communicator emitted a mechanical synthesized sound.
"I gave you a lot of resources, but you achieved nothing. A mere B-level life form forced you into this state."
Dark Star clenched his fists, no longer showing his former demeanor. He gritted his teeth and said, "He is different. He is not an ordinary B-level life form. His methods are very special."
"Enough!" The vague figure's voice sank, his tone cold: "Do you want me to understand how a B-level lifeform defeated you?"
Dark Star lowered his head, suppressing his anger, but he could only accept the scolding. He said unwillingly: "I need a new fleet. I want to kill that guy!"
"You want to break into the Guixing Central System? If you have that ability, I will prepare enough logistics for you..." The blurred figure said in a cold tone: "If not, then stay still!"
"He can't hide in the central galaxy forever. He will come out sooner or later. As long as he comes out..." Anxing spoke quickly, trying to convince the other party.
"He comes out... then what? You kill him, get caught by Guixing, and in order to survive, you expose my existence... right?"
“I dare not…” An Xing was startled and spoke in a humble tone.
"You can only move when I tell you to, understand?"
An Xing's breathing suddenly quickened. He wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth. He just nodded.
The blurry figure was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "About the Xinhe virus..."
Upon hearing this, An Xing immediately explained, "The Xin He virus has nothing to do with me. It's most likely that Li is the one who spread the virus."
"He spread it?" The blurry figure was slightly surprised, and then said: "The research institute tried every means to find you before, it turned out to be because of this reason."
Anxing felt a chill down his spine after hearing this. The Imperial Research Institute was looking for him?
He had also heard of this department. Even if he was an A-level life form, there would be no benefit if he was targeted by the Imperial Research Institute.
"The Xinhe virus really has nothing to do with me..." Anxing explained again.
"I know that if you can research a virus like that, the resources I invested will not be wasted." The blurry figure naturally knew that Anxing did not have that ability.
Being belittled again, Anxing could only endure it silently, not daring to refute anything.
"The Titan Exploration Team discovered a Titan relic in the galaxy on the edge of Guixing. Go there and don't let me down again." The blurry figure got to the point:
"If it succeeds, I will consider the fleet."
"What about Anna..." Anxing couldn't help but ask.
"She's fine, much better than you." The blurry figure spoke vaguely and hung up the phone directly.
His hideous face was reflected in the dark screen.
…
The ceremony was considered over. Several official spokespersons of Guixing were still at the front desk to answer reporters' questions. Many big shots left the venue one after another, whispering to each other from time to time and discussing what had just happened with their friends.
Li Yu didn't want to waste time here, so he went straight to the Star Casting Palace. He wanted to find General Aiser to fulfill his promise.
"Don't worry, I mean what I say. The military is ready, and there will be a special team to tailor the evolution process for you."
General Aysel spoke in a calm tone, as if deciding the birth of an A-level life form was as simple as signing a few words.
And in fact, it is true.
"Don't waste time. I need the biological gene chain of Kalites." Li Yu shook his head. He had discussed this issue with Payton in the past few days.
Payton gave the best answer, which is a Class A life form called Kaletus.
The meaning of Kaletes in the official language of the Star Empire is - the darling of the stars.
This powerful star beast is also only born in extreme interstellar environments. It controls the power of fire and lightning elements, as well as rare quantum state abilities. It has a humanoid appearance and is extremely powerful.
Kaletes... Athel frowned slightly when he heard this. After checking the database , he found out that this type of A-level life form did not have fire.
Moreover, the capture level is high-risk, and capturing A-level life forms is a very troublesome task.
Exploration, positioning, fighting, each step requires a huge cost.
"If it is this kind of creature, then we will have to wait for a while." Ethel did not refuse, even though it was troublesome.
It just takes a long time, but as long as Li Yu can wait, he doesn't mind.
There is a special person in charge of this matter, and General Aiser will naturally not be responsible for it personally.
…
The reaction speed of the Star Empire far exceeded many people's expectations. Everyone was happily celebrating the emperor's birthday, but suddenly such bad news came.
The imperial spokesman severely rebuked the groundless rumors in the interstellar space, stating that the empire had nothing to do with the Xinhe virus.
As for DarkStar, they said they would investigate the authenticity of the news. If it was true, they would not let any interstellar villain go.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Guixing didn't care about Anxing at all, and was only using this method to attack the Xingyao Empire.
If we question the Star Empire directly without any substantial evidence, it would easily give rise to criticism and lead to counterattacks from the Star Empire.
In this way, a lot of room for maneuver is left. Both sides are very large in size, and if they don't want to go to war, they can only curse each other in a tactful way.
After coming out from Assel, Li Yu turned and walked towards Klein's palace. Many soldiers on the way looked at Li Yu with respect and admiration, which was a treatment he had never received before.
Not only because of his strength, but also because of the Gold Cross.
"I feel like it should be about the same. The public opinion within Guixing Civilization is so intense, and the public opinion outside is also turbulent. They should be very anxious to resolve this matter."
Li Yu estimated that he could probably negotiate terms with Guixing now, but he had to wait until he became an A-level life form to prevent Guixing from withholding what he deserved.
The only surprise is that Guixing's research institute suddenly explodes and figures out a way to contain the virus, and then everything he has will be wasted.
And we need to give Klein a heads-up in advance, as we still need her help in this matter.
If it really doesn't work, sacrificing a little beauty is also okay... Li Yu was daydreaming and soon arrived at the place.
The young lady who used to push the door open actively now stopped Li Yu: "I'm sorry, Lord Horus has ordered that no one is allowed in for the time being."
