Chapter 263 Investigator, Observer
Under Rong Yuan's meticulous questioning, Wu Xi, a native of the Ling star whose original name was "Kachuka", quickly revealed his entire origins.
He came from a planet called Benling Star, which was located at the edge of the Milky Way, about 30,000 light years away from the Earth. Benling Star was a gaseous planet, except for a small amount of iron, carbon and silicon in the core, most of it was made up of gaseous matter, and was shrouded in aurora all year round. It looked very beautiful, but on such a planet, most creatures in the universe could not survive, and even spacecraft could not land smoothly on the surface of the planet without special modifications.
Different planets have different compositions, so naturally the creatures they breed are completely different. The people of Benling Star are oviparous creatures. When they are born, their bodies are made up of a small amount of ammonia and hydrogen as the medium, and they can transmit nerve signals through radio waves. After they grow up, they can even completely break away from the chemical basis and become a pure energy life form that is invisible to the human eye.
According to human understanding, all intelligent creatures on their entire planet are special beings with only souls but no bodies, so Benling Star can be said to be a real "ghost star".
The most special ability of the people of Benlingxing is that they can suppress the spirits of creatures weaker than themselves, read their memories and thoughts, control their bodies, and even replace their existence. This ability is called "possession."
Such ability, if used in the right place, may even be more powerful than an elite army. Therefore, since the discovery of the Benling people, they have been feared by the alliance, but also needed in many places. Sometimes they are suppressed, sometimes supported, sometimes captured for experiments, and sometimes coerced and induced to do something shady. They have been ups and downs, and their situation is very difficult. It was not until later that they made great contributions and became a subsidiary star of the Landia Empire that their situation in the alliance finally improved. After a long period of hard work and struggle, Benling people like Kachuka can pass the assessment and become official staff of the alliance, and use their own ability to become an external investigator.
In fact, the Earth had quietly left traces in the star map of the Milky Way Interstellar Alliance many years ago, but the Kayul Company cleverly concealed its true appearance and quietly modified the relevant exploration data, changing it from a [habitable star with lower-level intelligent creatures (ancient slave society) and civilization in its infancy] to a [a waste star with no signs of life, no minerals, and full of toxic gases on the surface, with no development value] . Because the space near the Earth is very desolate, this "poisonous star" is also very harmful, so it is natural to list this star field as a restricted area in all star maps, and it is recommended that spacecraft passing through this section must bypass it.
Until some people discovered that that place was the "mother planet" where they were born.
These people are the "earthlings" who have been wandering in the vast universe for a long time, made great sacrifices, and passed on from generation to generation for countless years, and still long to return to their hometown; that is, more than 10,000 years ago, the earth had experienced the invasion of alien species and the changes in the world, and it had become uninhabitable, so they chose to go to the distant universe to find new opportunities. In fact, they have experienced the transformation of the strange and weird cosmic environment, and have combined with many different alien species. From the inside out, they are different from the "humans" they used to be, but they always regard the earth as the holy land and destination in their hearts.
So, even if everyone else treats that worthless "poison star" as a large rock floating in the universe, they won't.
But at first, these descendants of the Earth who called themselves "travelers" did not doubt the results of the exploration, because when they left, the Earth's environment was not like this, but it was indeed deteriorating. They did not know that the Earth had recovered in a very short time, and only thought that it had changed into this state in the increasingly violent disasters. Although disappointed and sad, they accepted this result, but they paid more attention to this planet than others.
Perhaps it is because of this attention that even though the wandering "travelers" have gradually settled in the alliance and integrated into many different corporate organizations or national planets, they still can't help but take a second look when they see a certain name, subconsciously stop and listen when they hear a certain place name, and unconsciously collect related information... Many fragmented pieces of information gradually gather and integrate to piece together a terrible truth.
——It is not a poisonous star, but a habitable star with beautiful scenery. Some people, for their own evil and selfish purposes, artificially turned it into a "poisonous star" that everyone avoids.
After countless efforts, these traveling earthlings finally found a senior alliance official who was willing to sit down and listen to their investigations, suspicions and speculations, and who was capable of conducting an investigation into Kayul. This company controlled many officials in the alliance and had many supporters, so naturally, there were an equal number of people who disliked them.
But in order to completely bring down the Kayul Company, some vague indirect evidence is not enough. There must be conclusive direct evidence pointing directly to its crimes. So Kachuka's journey to the earth came into being.
Fifteen years ago, he possessed the Earth boy Wu Xi and began to investigate the incident of [Kayuer Company releasing viruses on Earth and privately kidnapping and imprisoning Earth's intelligent life for experiments]. There are many restrictions on foreign investigators like him when conducting investigations on indigenous planets, such as not being able to arbitrarily harm intelligent creatures, not being able to affect local technological development, and not interfering in the internal affairs of the planet.
When Wu Xi first started investigating, even though he had many props that surpassed Earth's technology, the investigation was still slow. His life span was much longer than that of humans, and it was common for him to spend hundreds of years on an investigation, so he was not in a hurry. After becoming a big star by accident, he often met some high-ranking figures in the country. After Wu Xi invaded their mental bodies, hypnotized them or read their memories, the investigation made great progress. He collected a lot of evidence and discovered that there were permanent observers from the Kayul Company on Earth.
He was a very cunning and ruthless guy, worthy of his Kayul company. Wu Xi had just caught him when he faked his own death and escaped. After several battles, Wu Xi, who was from an orthodox background, was slightly better equipped. The observer was about to be caught, so he was so crazy that he activated the continental shelf oscillator. Although it was not the highest intensity, it also caused great damage to the earth. As a result, the earth experienced a series of major earthquakes for a period of time, causing countless deaths and injuries.
Wu Xi was not free from responsibility for this matter. Even if he completed the mission and returned to the alliance in the future, he would inevitably be punished for it. Wu Xi was almost mad when he learned the cause of the earthquake. Even if Rong Yuan had "forecasted" the earthquake in time, there were still many casualties. When Wu Xi was delayed by the earthquake because of his celebrity status, the observer took the opportunity to destroy his spacecraft and the equipment that connected him to the alliance, and then fled.
Wu Xi knew how slow the Alliance's work efficiency was, especially for a mission that didn't seem urgent. It might take many years for someone to notice that he was missing, and then even more years to send out a new investigator. No matter how angry or sad he was, he had to accept this result.
He thought he would die of old age on Earth in this life. After being a celebrity honestly for ten years, a catastrophic virus that was obviously not something that the Earth itself could have evolved came!
——This is the evidence he has been waiting for! If they can prove that this was done by Kayul Company, they will no longer have a foothold in the alliance!
——His mission can be accomplished!
Wu Xi was excited for a moment, then realized his current situation. He knew that even though he had a lot of evidence, he couldn't pass even a word to the alliance. But he was unwilling to give up! Driven by responsibility, Wu Xi finally went deep into the source of the epidemic with incomplete protection and carefully conducted an investigation. Even though his work could not see results now, he believed that one day in the future when the alliance sent people to come, his findings would play a crucial role in sanctioning Kayul Company!
But he didn't expect that he couldn't complete even this last task.
After being restrained by the mysterious man behind him, Wu Xi felt only fear at first. Later, as he listened to the narration, he slowly thought about the other party's identity. Suddenly, he realized that besides him, only people from the Kaiul Company had visited this planet.
——Could this be the person sent by Kaiyu Company to deal with him?
Wu Xi felt a chill in his heart, his hands and feet were cold, and he could no longer harbor any hope.
When he had finished saying everything he could, the mysterious man did something and Wu Xi suddenly lost consciousness and passed out. At that moment, he thought the last scene he could see in his life was the vague outline of the table legs in the dark.
Then he woke up again.
The cold floor, the tall table, the camera that fell to the ground, all the familiar scenery - this is his home.
That person has left?
Wu Xi guessed, holding his laser gun in his hand and turning around carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found no strangers. Just as he was thinking about whether he had a dream last night, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, rushed to the window, and looked out the window almost greedily!
It was pitch black outside the window, dotted with small and large dots of light. The aqua-blue planet was gradually moving away, disappearing into the darkness.
——His spaceship, which had been proven in countless tests to have completely destroyed its power and communication systems for long-distance travel, was now steadily heading towards the nearest wormhole. At some point, the damaged parts of the spaceship had been completely repaired, and it was now in the best condition, taking him home!
…
Watching the small interstellar spaceship go away, Wandou asked: "Rongyuan, do you believe everything he said?"
"At least he believes it." Rong Yuan said confidently, "I am not so blind as to not see this." The means of mind transmission learned from the Micron people can not only be used for transmission, but also for attack, control, and lie detection. Rong Yuan felt that the abilities he had developed were just the tip of the iceberg.
"But we know that the most crucial evidence in his hand is actually fake. Trying to bring down Kayul Company in one fell swoop may backfire." Wandou said worriedly. They all knew that the so-called deadly virus, although it came from the doctor of Kayul Company, was brought back by the earthlings themselves, and its spread on Earth was entirely caused by the actions of the earthlings, and had nothing to do with Kayul Company, which was innocently blamed.
"We know, but they don't, right?" Rong Yuan said disapprovingly, "And it is indeed Kayul Company that owns the virus, and they may not be able to figure it out. Even if we don't bring them down this time, it doesn't matter." Rong Yuan looked at his palm, clenched his fist, and said softly, "It won't be long before I visit them in person!"
"Oh, right." Rong Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did he say I was a neutron star?" At that time, Wu Xi's face looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"It's probably because you used telepathy, which is a method that only exists in the legends of legendary races." Pea said, "I have seen related content in the strange stories collected by aliens before. Do you want to hear it?"
