Chapter 308 Necessary Disguise
It’s not easy to get back to the Dongfeng, so of course I can’t forget to take care of my genes.
The warm yellow light shone through the special glass of the medical cabin, revealing Yang Ming's profile.
026 stood next to the medical cabin with his arms folded, leaning back against the wall, his eyes fixed on the smooth metal plate in front of him, as if he could see someone's shadow through the metal plate.
Chirp, a tracked robot slowly drove over, gently bumped into 026's calf, then took off its head with a small display screen, and motioned 026 to sit down and rest.
"No, thank you."
Chirp, the tracked robot installed its head, adjusted its walking direction, and swayed towards the next hatch.
"How's the boss?"
Lu's voice sounded, and 026 subconsciously put down his arms and turned to look in the direction of Lu.
"Sister Lu, how are the two maids?"
"They are receiving an IV drip, an anesthetic drip. They can only wake up when I tell them to."
Lu snorted softly:
"The old emperor of the empire is so despicable that he actually wants to use a pair of sisters to tie up our boss. Is the boss that kind of person?"
"That's right," 026 said firmly, "At least one maid from the reinforced company is needed!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lu nodded in agreement, leaned over to 026's shoulder and sniffed it, then said with a grin, "Who are you using this expensive perfume for?"
"It's none of your business," 026 rolled his eyes, "Can't I smell it myself?"
Lu winked at 026, and 026 turned his head and walked away. Lu floated behind him, constantly making sniffing movements.
A few minutes later, Yang Ming opened his eyes, stretched, and left the medical cabin.
The sense of security in the Dongfeng was in stark contrast to the sense of crisis when he was on the Imperial Star. Yang Ming now just wanted to put down roots in the captain's lounge and sleep well for a few galaxy hours.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot to do.
Catherine's secondary thought imprinting experiment is imminent and will officially begin in about a week.
Bligh was already planning at this moment. The plan he had sent over earlier showed that many key positions in the Super Reformer organization had been reversely infiltrated by Bligh.
Now Bly only needs to use the existing "resources" and get close to the scientific research team operating the branding instrument to ensure Catherine's safety.
However, while doing all this, Catherine must also be made aware that the crisis has been resolved.
Otherwise, if Yang Ming and Bray had made all the arrangements, and Catherine raised her arms and started an uprising, it would be a huge mess.
This is really troublesome.
Yang Ming sat on a chair in the captain's lounge, looking at the projection screen in front of him that kept scrolling news and information, and was slightly distracted.
He actually wanted to protect Catherine, whether out of admiration for her or because of the emotional factors in their sleeping relationship.
'How about being more assertive?'
Yang Ming stroked his chin and thought carefully.
Because of an unpleasant experience in high school, Yang Ming often examines whether he is being self-righteous.
I thought I was doing this for your own good, but ended up causing irreparable harm to others - this kind of 'youth pain literature' is a hotbed of material, and Yang Ming really doesn't want to experience any more of it.
But now, he had to intervene strongly in this matter.
In the stand-alone version of the game "Abyss", there is the name of the big boss Bly, but there is no name of the powerful super-changer Catherine, which in itself speaks out the problem.
If I don’t save my own sister, who will?
Yang Ming took a deep breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and made a video call to Catherine.
A few seconds later, Catherine's full-body projection appeared in front of Yang Ming.
She put on the golden mask again and was now adjusting it into the shape of a mask.
Catherine was sitting on a hillside covered with green grass and white flowers. Below the hillside, she could see a series of buildings, with gray-white metal-framed high-rise buildings scattered around, and further away was a busy surface spaceport.
Catherine immediately smiled gently, hiding her worried look:
"Hanton, have you released the Emperor Star?"
"I'm out. I'm back on my ancient technology warship," Yang Ming said with a smile, "How's the situation over there? Do you feel that things are not so bad that we have to go to extremes?"
"Yes, it's very strange. They were obviously very anxious to call us back, but now they are not urging us to have a physical examination or make preliminary preparations."
Catherine raised her hand to touch her long hair, and a hint of anxiety appeared between her brows.
She sighed, "Bray is here too. I just met him and he slipped me a note saying you've arranged everything."
"Has he already come to you?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "This guy is quite efficient in his work."
"Is Bligh yours?" Catherine asked softly.
"Well, we are friends," Yang Ming said with a smile, "After I beat him up, he started worshipping me as a person. It's not a big deal. Since he has told you, I won't hide it from you. I will remotely control the thought branding ceremony of the super modifier..."
"Hanton!"
Catherine suddenly called out to him.
Yang Ming paused and stared at her quietly: "What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to get involved in this."
Catherine seemed to be afraid that Yang Ming would misunderstand her, so she quickly explained:
"Don't think too much. I'm not such a stubborn person at heart, and I won't reject your kindness. I also want to rely on you. You know, most of the interactions between us are initiated by you, and I try to cooperate.
“But I can’t implicate you.
"Every Super Reformer is a resource that the Empire values extremely. If you interfere in the affairs of the Super Reformer organization, you will most likely lose everything you have now.
"I am Bligh's captain and supervisor. I roughly know what Bligh is going to do... This is too risky for you. You have an extremely bright future."
Two answers popped into Yang Ming's mind.
A: If it's for you, I don't care about the bright future. (Romance index 5 stars, 100% chance of being touched)
B: This will not affect my bright future. If something goes wrong, Bly will finish cutting off the tail. (Romance index is one star, honesty index is five stars, and the chance of being touched is one percent.)
Yang Ming chose option C.
"You are wrong, Catherine. You must first clarify your position."
Yang Ming said softly:
"The attitude of the imperial high-ranking officials towards the super-changers is extremely divided. They regard the dimensional upgrade experiment as a long-term project. The current emperor does not have much hope for this dimensional upgrade experiment, and thinks it is impossible to succeed in the next few hundred years.
“The role of the Super Modifiers as an important combat force is becoming more and more prominent, so the emperor asked you to redo the brand.
"The thought imprint cannot be detected through direct means. We can successfully manipulate it, and you only need to add a little acting skills to perfectly cover it up, blend into this organization, and continue to serve the Empire."
Catherine thought for a while and then said, "Their minds are already divided. If they continue to hide like this, there will eventually be a moment when the contradictions will completely explode. It's just a matter of time."
"It's better to happen later than to rush now," Yang Ming asked, "Catherine, are you really ready to do this big thing?"
Catherine was silent.
Yang Ming asked again: "Have you found any foreign forces that can secretly support you?"
"this……"
"Have you found a base that can keep supplies and be as secret as possible? Have you established specific goals, organizational slogans, and ideological programs?"
"We haven't thought about it that much yet. It's just that time is urgent now..."
Yang Ming: …
The relationship was just forced upon me.
Fortunately, he chose to intervene forcefully !
Yang Ming said: "Then why do you want to waste your elite and precious fighting force?
"You want to change the empire, you can.
“It’s okay to give it a try.
"But sending yourself to die in vain is actually a very stupid thing to do. You are the organizer of your small organization, but you are not a qualified leader now."
Catherine looked at Yang Ming, her eyes seemed to say a thousand words.
The communicator next to Yang Ming vibrated, and a message appeared automatically. It was the update released by Grace.
Yang Ming immediately said: "The Imperial Army has mobilized more than 3,600 secret troops from the Skywrath Fortress, that is, more than 3,600 fully armed cyborgs, who will soon be stationed in your Super Modified Headquarters."
"Is this directed at us?"
"What else? Do you think they are going on vacation?"
Yang Ming said seriously:
“It is indeed a critical period now, and if we take a wrong step, we will be doomed.
“It’s possible that your team is not pure, or it’s possible that His Majesty the Emperor has already noticed something strange.
"Catherine, I'm not denying you freedom, nor am I disrespecting you, but now, you have to listen to me."
Catherine said: "This is not just about me, but about us. I have to discuss this with them, but I will never reveal any information about you and Bly."
"We'd better reduce the number of contacts from now on. You should contact Bly directly," Yang Ming said. "If you can't solve the problem, send me a message and wait for me where I am. I will rush over as quickly as possible."
"Well," Katherine whispered, "I'll go look for Bray...thank you."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows. "When you have a vacation, fly over to accompany me. Remember to bring a few more sets of clothes that I like."
Catherine was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
When she was sure that she was being teased by Yang Ming, she found that Yang Ming had hung up the encrypted communication.
This guy...
Catherine sat on the hillside and thought carefully for a while. She glanced left and right to make sure there were no electronic devices within her sight. Then she took out the communicator and began to enter the complicated code.
If Bligh could do it, they would have an extra chance to survive.
As long as they can preserve the spark of this thought, when the time is right, they will naturally ignite a prairie fire and change this corrupt empire.
The empire has no need of aristocrats.
So does the emperor.
Catherine quickly typed a few lines in the chat room. Her eyes, which were originally full of worry, now showed a little more confidence.
…
Several galactic hours later.
Hanyin and Hanxiang woke up almost at the same time, and they looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.
A narrow cabin, some messy abandoned lines, and outside the window is the deep starry sky and an orange-red star.
They, they are not... They entered the legendary White Ghost's ace battleship and came into contact with the mysterious ancient technology possessed by the White Ghost...
How did we get directly back to this small airship?
"Oh, you're awake?"
Yang Ming's voice came from the driver's seat, the chair slowly turned, and Yang Ming's figure with his legs crossed fell into the eyes of Han Yin and Han Xiang.
The two maids subconsciously hugged each other and trembled in front of Yang Ming.
"Are you a devil?"
Hanyin complained loudly: "If you don't want us to go, you can just say so. But what's the point of just electrocuting us and knocking us out?"
Hanxiang puffed up her lips and shouted in anger, "That's it!"
Hanyin: "We are the maids bestowed upon you by His Majesty, and we have our own dignity too! You can refuse!"
Hanxiang: “That’s it!”
Han Yin became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "If you want to invade us, just come directly and don't give us any experience! You are so selfish! I didn't expect your sexual fetish to be so weird! And you are a great hero of the empire!"
Hanxiang nodded vigorously: "That's right... Hey, don't say such things."
Yang Ming cursed with a dark face: "What did I do to you? If you continue to slander me, I will make your words become the truth!"
Hanyin blinked and looked down at her body, only to find that her clothes were just a little messy, but her underwear showed no signs of having been touched.
She glanced to the side and said, "It turns out that he is just a show-off. He is so timid in this situation."
Yang Ming was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
This palace maid and deputy commander of the tentacles is naturally knowledgeable and scheming. This guy might be up to something.
Yang Ming said calmly: "Get up and work. We will soon arrive at the first stop of this trip, the hometown of the Great Elder. You two will participate in the audit work throughout the whole process. Remember, when you submit the materials to your tentacles, praise me a lot."
"We're just getting paid for working for you," Han Yin held onto the armrest of the chair and pulled herself up from her limp body.
——The effect of the anesthetic has not worn off yet.
Han Yin snorted, "If you want us to say something good for you, that's a different price."
Hanxiang pulled her sister's arm and said, "Do we have any salary?"
"Uh, that," Han Yin whispered, "You are still young, I will keep it for you, and when you need to spend money, just come to me. This guy only gives us 300,000 imperial coins a month, which is very stingy."
"Three hundred thousand! Is that a monthly salary?"
Hanxiang's eyes widened: "Our teacher has worked in the palace for decades, and his official salary is only 100,000!"
"What do you know? Teachers have a lot of hidden income, and all the nobles want to curry favor with them."
“But this is too much.”
Looking at the two maid sisters who began to discuss their wages in a low voice, Yang Ming's expression was somewhat complicated.
Damn, he clearly gave each person three million!
This person does have the potential to become a corrupt official.
"Come and get to work!"
Yang Ming yelled in annoyance, and Hanyin pulled Hanxiang to the two seats behind the main driver's seat, where two tablet-style network access terminals were placed. On them were evidence of the crimes of the nobles here, as well as some reports without substantial evidence.
"This is the first place for bloodletting. We need to let the nobles see blood, and we also need to let His Majesty see a large enough amount of stolen money."
Yang Ming said:
"According to reports from Major General Clion and Major General Qiu Lisha, they have received invitations from the local defense system, local government, and some mid-level generals, who want to treat them to a meal.
“It means to find out how serious this matter is.
"I have asked them to spread the word that they will arrest a few typical people and kill a few people. I believe that next, they will release a few scapegoats on their own initiative."
Han Yin asked in a low voice: "So what are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do? I'll eat these scapegoats first and make them spit out all the bones. They are witnesses that have been delivered to my doorstep."
Yang Ming skillfully operated the airship and headed towards the spaceport not far away.
"Let's go on a field visit first. Later, one of you will play the role of my nanny and the other will play the role of my secretary. Our identities are normal investors.
"There are thirty-two noble territories on this planet, all of which are hereditary nobles. According to my estimation, if we really want to overthrow them, we can overthrow more than half of them and kill thousands of people."
Hanxiang was a little surprised.
Hanyin asked: "But if this is the case, the nobles everywhere will certainly panic. Should we lower our expectations?"
"This will really test our ability to wield a knife," Yang Ming said calmly, "The rotten flesh of the empire should be cut off with a sharp knife. The duller the knife, the more painful it will be."
"Well, I understand the other questions."
Hanyin picked up an unopened cool maid outfit from under the seat. She was a little skeptical whether the hem of the short skirt could cover her buttocks.
"Is this a necessary disguise for the next action?"
"Of course," Yang Ming nodded seriously, "It's absolutely necessary."
