Chapter 246: Beiwen Incident - Independent Incident - Opportunity for Negotiation
Li Yu was not worried about dying. Instead, because he knew Horus' plan in advance, he turned the tables on the opponent and won Klein's favor.
"Since you are ready, I wish you good luck." Horus had a blank expression on his face and did not stay here for too long.
He needed to report the matter to Vimala, and he was also afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to resist and beat Li Yu to death.
After leaving Klein, Horus looked a little gloomy. Li Yu's initiative to volunteer caught him off guard and he even began to doubt the plan itself.
Wouldn't letting Li Yu go just serve his purpose?
He had a noble status, and whenever he walked in the Star-Forging Palace, he would attract the respectful gazes of many soldiers.
However, this time he vaguely felt something was strange. The soldiers around him were staring at him with strange eyes, as if they were alert and cautious.
As an A-level life form, Horus has an extremely keen sense of other people's gazes, which forced him to temporarily suppress Li Yu's matter.
When he just arrived, there was no such gaze. He even noticed that someone in the corner had raised a gun towards him. If his teammates had not stopped him, he would have probably opened fire.
The Star Casting Palace is not like any other place. Any changes that occur here may foreshadow the inner thoughts of some important person.
"Could it be that Tigor has noticed Vimala's recent actions? Is this a warning?"
Horus's mind tensed up a little. Although he used to be a noble person, he was now just Klein's teacher and did not have any real rights.
They don't even have the right to question the soldiers in the Star-Forging Palace.
It was not until Horus left the Star Forge Palace that many soldiers began to talk.
"Why do I feel that Lord Horus has suddenly become hideous?"
"I felt the same way. I almost couldn't help but shoot him. Fortunately, the captain stopped me."
"Silence!" the captain shouted, and the team returned to silence and continued their patrol.
In Klein's palace, the atmosphere suddenly became strange after Horus left.
Without Horus as an audience, Li Yu's intention to act faded a little. Klein bit his lower lip and said hesitantly: "Actually... you were going to be transferred out..."
Li Yu didn't expect that Klein actually told Li Yu that Vimala used him as bait, and he looked a little guilty.
"If I hadn't asked you to go and protect Olivia, you wouldn't have been caught up in such a big public opinion storm."
Li Yu shook his head and said soothingly: "Your Highness, this is not your fault. No one can foresee the development of things."
It was obvious that his position in Klein's heart was now clearly special. This was the best opportunity to win her over... to play with her... ahem... wrong, it was time to give her a shot of prevention.
Li Yu looked slightly startled, looked around, and deliberately whispered: "Your Highness, do you still remember the friend I mentioned to you before? The laboratory behind him has made great progress in the research of the Xinhe virus."
Klein was a little surprised, and recalled what Li Yu had told her before. She thought it was just a joke from Li Yu at the time.
But now it seems that it is not a joke...
"Which laboratory does your friend belong to?" Klein asked.
Li Yu brought up this issue for the second time. Coupled with the special position that the other party held in her heart, Klein couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Different Dimension Exploration Camp..." Li Yu said the name he made up.
"Another-dimensional exploration camp?" Klein brainstormed in his mind and found that there was no such name in the top laboratory sequence.
This name does not exist in slightly weaker laboratories.
"The foundation and strength of the Alien Dimension Exploration Camp are no less than those of the top interstellar laboratories," Li Yu added.
The so-called top interstellar laboratories are individual laboratories represented by the Abyss Laboratory, the Black Blood Research Institute and the Savior's Ark.
They do not belong to any civilization, and their funders are very mysterious, but many of the journals they publish have a huge influence in the interstellar space.
Its research capabilities are not inferior to, and even far exceed, those of the central laboratories within major civilizations.
In fact, many laboratories in the interstellar space have set their sights on the lucrative piece of meat that is the Xinhe virus.
It can be predicted that whoever develops a solution to the Xinhe virus will be able to reap a lot of benefits from Guixing.
Unfortunately...because the time was too short, most of the gains were insignificant.
Li Yu's statement was hard to convince Klein because it was just words without any evidence. However, due to some psychological filter, Klein had to think about the truth of the matter.
"In fact, the reason I was able to survive the last time at the hands of two A-level life forms was because of their methods." Li Yu came up with another bombshell to make his statement more convincing.
Klein's pupils contracted. People outside were talking about how Li Yu could escape from the hands of two A-level life forms.
Many people wanted to know this secret, and even the top leaders of Guixing secretly asked him about it several times.
Although she was also very curious, she did not take the initiative to ask Li Yu. Unexpectedly, Li Yu took the initiative to tell her this time.
This was a manifestation of trust in her. Klein sat upright and gradually believed what Li Yu said.
It seems that...the strength of the Different Dimension Exploration Camp should not be underestimated.
If it's true... Klein's eyes flickered, and he remembered what Horus had just said, and the feeling of powerlessness facing Vimala.
If used properly...it is enough to get a lot of things. Klein looked at Li Yu again, his eyes a little dazed.
"Your Highness..." Li Yu looked at Klein in confusion. Why was this girl looking at him in such a strange way? Was she going to execute him on the spot?
Here...it seems that the impact is not very good.
Klein came back to her senses and raised her head slightly, revealing her fair neck. She looked away and said with a somewhat disturbed tone:
"Don't tell anyone else about this. If the effect is confirmed, tell me first."
Then she added: "I don't want to take all the credit, but I'm afraid you can't keep the credit by yourself. This matter requires careful planning."
“I believe you, Your Highness…” Li Yu’s eyes were smiling. Klein’s gaze lightly touched his and then moved away again.
The light from the window shone on her delicate profile, and her skin was so white that it almost reflected light.
Even if I died for three days, it wouldn't be in vain to this extent, Li Yu sighed.
Her slightly raised head made her look like a proud white swan. Klein looked out the window and thought of what Horus had just said.
"Even close friends and relatives can be used as pawns... Mother, this is what you taught me... Don't blame me."
…
However, before the awarding ceremony was over, a piece of interstellar news shocked the entire Guixing!
"The Beiwen galaxy suffered a terrorist attack. The enemy fought fiercely with the stationed fleet and suffered heavy losses. The Beiwen main star was bombarded, and more than ten cities were reduced to ruins. Many more cities were severely damaged. A rough estimate is that the death toll may exceed 100 million."
"It is reported that the attack started with a high-energy laser beam that directly bombarded the central city of Beiwen Main Star, causing the earth's crust to crack and magma to erupt.
Nearly ten million people died directly, and then humanoid A-class life forms descended and began to destroy the surface of the planet.
After the Beiwen escort fleet discovered them, they engaged in a fierce battle, but the other side had only two people, who came and went freely, causing great damage to the escort fleet, and then left calmly. "
“Guixing has suffered many attacks in history, but this attack is still horrific and is regarded as an extremely bad terrorist act.
According to speculation, these two people have the same basic characteristics as the two A-level life forms that attacked the Vitel Galaxy, but there is no figure like Mr. Li Yu in the Beiwen Galaxy. "
Shortly after leaving Klein, Li Yu saw this news push, less than three hours after the attack.
He glanced at the coordinates of the laser man and found that he was near the Beiwen system.
In other words, when Li Yu was holding the medal awarding ceremony, Laser Man and Li Wang were attacking the Beiwen Galaxy.
To some extent, this is a response to him and also a response to Guixing. I just don’t know if there is any instruction from the Xingyao Empire behind it.
The Beiwen terrorist attack shocked the entire Guixing civilization. After the incident, a theory quickly appeared on the Internet.
He thought this was an act of revenge against Li Yu, but it backfired on Gui Xing.
There are even voices holding Li Yu responsible for this incident, but in the end it is only a small part of the view.
Moreover, the unbridled destructive power of the two A-level life forms made the citizens of Guixing feel insecure, fearing that the next galaxy to be attacked would be their own planet.
A large number of speculations and statements have fermented into one voice - detain the two terrorists as soon as possible!
The top management of Guixing, who were already under tremendous pressure, could only make repeated assurances.
"Can they let A-class life forms attack ordinary planets?!" Athel smashed the precious decorations angrily. Due to the Beiwen attack, the top leaders of Guixing had to hold an emergency meeting again.
The seats were arranged in a circular staircase, and the empty hall was filled with virtual projections. It was worth mentioning that next to Vimala, Klein lowered his head and said nothing, which attracted some people's attention.
"This is the revenge of the Star Empire..." Prince Connor acted calmly, he waved his hand... another piece of news emerged.
"According to the latest news, the Taital Galaxy and the Kena Galaxy suddenly declared independence on Christmas Day. These two colonial galaxies on the border of the empire have only been under the rule of the empire for less than three thousand years..."
"Along with this news, there are also a lot of scandals about the colonial fleet, including drunken racing on the colony planet, raping colonial women, and a series of other outrageous things..."
"...This has cast a shadow over the Christmas Day that the whole country is celebrating. The Imperial Patrol Fleet has already set sail for the two star systems mentioned above, hoping to find a proper solution to the independence issue..."
Ethel frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized: "Is this our work?"
Guixing is a top interstellar civilization with numerous factions within it. Ayser only represents the military, so many things on Guixing do not need to go through him.
"That's right..." Connor said calmly, "This matter has been in the works for a long time, and we negotiated some conditions with the reformers to make it happen."
"Simple destruction is meaningless. The independence of the colonized galaxy should be remembered by the Emperor for a long time, and it will also give the Interstellar Alliance something to talk about recently."
"Changers?" Ethel frowned slightly. This organization that was parasitic on various civilizations should not be underestimated. Exchanging interests with them was no less than seeking the skin of a tiger.
Connor said a few words simply: "It was Olivia who was the one who was pulling the strings. This is the price she paid to calm our anger. There are also some other deals, and we are not losing money."
He did not go into too much detail. It was necessary to let the military leaders know about this matter, but there was no need to know such details.
Axel glanced at Connor. The other big guys didn't say anything. He didn't ask any more questions, but said, "We can prepare for negotiations. If we continue, we will tear each other apart. Unless the Star Empire is ready to go to war, there is no need to continue."
No matter how much trouble you cause, everyone has a bottom line. If you don't want to start an all-out war, you must stop at a certain bottom line.
Now, the game between Guixing and the Empire has touched the bottom line of both sides. If it goes on, the only option is to go to war.
"But before that, do we have to deal with those two A-level life forms?" A clear voice sounded in the corner.
Hearing this, everyone looked over and Alexei nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
"What does His Highness Alexei think?" someone asked in agreement.
Before Alexei could speak, he heard Klein's cold voice: "I plan to use Li Yu as bait to lure out those two people."
As soon as these words came out, many high-level officials of Guixing looked at each other in surprise. Is this something His Highness Klein could say?
Alexei's smile faded slightly, and he looked at Klein, looking a little surprised.
Klein's idea was similar to Li Yu's. Since it could not be changed, he might as well use this matter to gain enough benefits.
Connor was a little confused: "I remember that many people wanted to borrow Li Yu before, but they were all rejected by His Highness. Why is His Highness taking the initiative to use him as bait now?"
“Because the benefits have not yet been maximized…” Klein’s eyes were cold, and it was hard to tell his depth.
This statement surprised many senior executives, and they suddenly realized that they did not quite understand this princess.
Vimala had a blank expression on her face. She knew that things were not as Klein said.
Klein just used this method to increase his influence.
This daughter of his probably already hated him, but she did n't care. In the end... Klein would understand.
Ethel frowned and said in surprise: He has not yet become an A-level life form. If he is allowed to go out now, the risk will be very great.
"The Beiwen incident has agitated the citizens. They need a way to vent their emotions and can't wait any longer." Klein's tone was lukewarm and no one knew what she was thinking.
In addition to the Beiwen incident, there was also Vimala's pressure, which made Li Yu unable to delay any longer.
