Chapter 358: Ending the Assassination Group
Yang Ming raised his hand and checked the time.
There were only about six minutes left until the good time Lu mentioned.
It is now the eleventh galactic day since Daphne left.
Yang Ming sat in the warden's office, opened a bottle of Yaha Star's latest popular drink, and chatted with the warden and several military generals who came to visit about the design experience of the "Zerg-specific mecha".
The military strongly supported Yang Ming this time, and Yang Ming reciprocated by compiling a copy of various mecha information for fighting against space Zerg and donated it to the Imperial Military free of charge.
The law is beginning to take action.
The so-called good time was actually the Terminator mechanical assassination team they sent out, which approached the designated target to the greatest extent and in the largest number at the same time.
Once the assassination begins, the empire will inevitably respond.
Especially when senior officials of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs are assassinated one after another, relevant personnel of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs will inevitably become alert.
Twenty-four Terminator assassination robots and twenty action areas. They must kill their respective targets within one or two hours, or even half an hour. Regardless of whether they are successful or not, they must immediately attempt to recover them.
Each assassination robot is equipped with an instant self-destruct system.
The 'mechanical souls' carried by the Terminators have been backed up and have undergone dozens of ideological reviews to ensure that their thoughts will not go astray.
Now, Yang Ming doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to eat and drink here and wait for Lu to give him the result.
But Yang Ming always felt...
This was even more stressful than if he had done it himself.
…
In the Imperial Star Circle, a large and densely populated star, in the center of the rolling city plains, there is a vast estate full of green.
The tall, gray-haired old prince, smiling, holding a knife and fork, was immersed in the performance of the opera singers and could not extricate himself for a long time.
Behind the old prince, there was a middle-aged male servant who had worked in the manor for more than ten years. He had a faint smile on his face. Under the soft towel on his right arm, the arm that should have been made of human flesh and blood was now rotating like flowing water, and a miniature electronic catapult appeared in the center.
On a large entertainment cruise ship in the outer territory of the empire.
Even though he has been married to Her Royal Highness the Princess for decades, the Honorary Duke still has a rich private life. He stood on the dance floor, hugging the human woman from the Guell Alliance. She had slender limbs, graceful body, and charming eyes. She looked like a strange species, but in fact she was just a human without the original gene lock.
Two strands of this human woman's long black hair oozed deadly toxins.
On a planet outside the Imperial Star Circle.
Mrs. Marg woke up on the sofa and listened to her assistant's announcement that the meeting was about to begin. She shook her neck slightly in confusion, wondering why she still felt sleepy when she had slept well yesterday.
However, she did not notice that the brightness of the red eyes of the mechanical guard standing behind the assistant was somewhat unstable.
Every place, every scene.
There are a total of twenty attack locations. Due to the existence of offices and offline meetings, a total of sixty-seven expanded targets have now entered the Terminators' sight.
In the aristocratic prison of Yaha Star, Yang Ming and the military visitors were chatting and laughing heartily. They talked about the impact of new technological reforms on individual soldier's combat effectiveness, as well as the high mortality rate of pioneer biochemical experiments.
In the thinking space, Lu stared quietly at the projection screen array in front of him, as if he was thinking about something, or as if the computing power had been fully mobilized and there was no extra computing power left to make expressions.
She watched quietly.
Like a goddess with mercy on the world.
It also seems like a cold machine without any emotion.
All kinds of sounds filled his mind. The opera the old prince was enjoying reached its climax. He closed his eyes in ecstasy, immersed in the high-pitched waves perfectly performed by the opera singers, allowing his mind to relax freely.
puff!
In the corner, the butler's towel swayed slightly. The old prince's eyes suddenly widened, his movements stiffened, and a bloody hole appeared on his forehead.
On the entertainment cruise ship, in the emergency lounge on the sidelines, the man and woman who were kissing passionately on the bed had taken off most of their clothes. A few strands of hair were wrapped around the Duke's neck. Under the dim light, the ends of the hair penetrated into the Duke's ear hole and pierced his eardrum.
Closed-door meeting of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Mrs. Mag and several deputy directors sat at the second seat, preparing development data for the dependent countries they were responsible for.
Mrs. Margot found this scene ironic.
She had just attended a meeting last night to plan the next step in strangling the Luofeng Empire. It would take five years to crush Luofeng in the economic, political, cultural and media fields, using the new agents that had already been found, and within the next two years, to forcibly weaken Luofeng's military strength, thereby transforming Luofeng into a new vassal state.
Now, she wanted to highly praise the outstanding economic achievements of the Luofeng Empire at this formal meeting.
"Should we take this opportunity to suggest that we abolish the annual tribute exemption system that was set for Luo Feng?"
Mrs. Marg thought so and thought it was a good idea.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a loud noise from the side.
The security door was suddenly knocked open, and a mechanical guard with a silver-white skeleton appeared in Mrs. Marg's sight.
"guard?"
Madam Mag's pupils suddenly contracted. From her perspective, she could see the mechanical guard parts scattered on the ground outside the door.
The mechanical guard that broke into the door had bulging spheres all over its skeleton .
Mrs. Margo saw a flash of red light in a sphere and her brain instantly lost consciousness.
In the conference room, among the forty-six people attending the meeting, seven had bloody holes exploded on their foreheads and collapsed in their seats.
The screams were extremely piercing.
The mechanical guard turned around, and his body was like a melted wax figure. The liquid metal on the surface kept flowing, revealing the outline of a female figure. Then, a professional suit, a white shirt, long, smooth hair, and slender legs all appeared at the same time. His body was like a human figure in a low-definition picture.
However, when it walked out of the conference room, its skin texture was no different from that of a normal person, and its eyes were as bright as gems, revealing a terrified expression. It stumbled into the corridor, constantly shouting loudly that an attack was coming.
Every place, every scene.
The footman took advantage of the chaos to leave the prince's family opera house, and his body disappeared into the sewer.
The slender beauty Guell had disappeared, and in her place was a young girl dressed as a maid, holding a wine tray and closing the door of the room...
In thinking space.
The screens in front of Lu closed one by one.
She glanced at the corner of her mind space. It was empty, but a 'ghost' had appeared there before.
Don't care about me?
senior?
Lu sighed softly, waited for about ten minutes, and sent a simple message to his boss.
Unfortunately, this opportunity only comes once.
If she had three hundred of these expensive Terminators, she might be able to paralyze the empire for several months.
But the current results are pretty good.
Lu reopened hundreds of projection screens and entered the financial operation interface.
Buy some shares of "Advanced Bionic Robots". The government-use bionic robots launched in advance by Molly Miss Group should usher in a period of explosive sales.
…
【Finish.】
Yang Ming glanced at his watch and clinked glasses with the warden beside him, but the smile on his face did not change.
"Thank you for your hospitality today."
"You are too polite," the warden said hastily. "You have made an invaluable contribution to the stability of our place. It is only natural that you should make such a modest request."
The major general at the side said with a smile: "The hero of the empire has lived here. The tourism value of this place can definitely be developed."
The warden could only respond with an awkward smile.
They are usually extremely serious and charge the serving nobles huge fees for each service.
The colonel from the CIA asked with a smile: "Lord Hanton, when are you going to leave?"
"Shouldn't the higher-ups have the final say on this?"
Yang Ming sighed:
“Speaking of which, I was too impulsive. After seeing His Royal Highness Prince Gehari, I thought of those who died in the poison gas bomb. Of course, the poison gas bomb had nothing to do with His Royal Highness, but I couldn’t help myself at the time.
"Perhaps this is the price of gaining power. Sometimes my emotions are not very stable, and I will stubbornly insist on the justice that I recognize in my heart.
"But can justice really be determined by oneself?"
The six or seven young military officers nodded at the same time.
Yang Ming continued:
“The standard of justice should not be in the hands of one person, but in the hands of a credible legislative body. Of course, I am not referring to the aristocracy and the Senate, but the Ministry of Justice of the Empire.
“I have been thinking about this for the past two or three months and have read a lot of books, and I have discovered my own shortcomings.
"I was too self-righteous and imposed my own sense of justice on the nobles . It was also an abuse of lynching. This is actually very bad. I should take the initiative to reflect on it."
Several officers nodded continuously.
The warden was almost in tears, as if he had seen a prodigal son who had returned to the right path.
The officers nodded:
"What you said actually makes sense."
“We should indeed respect justice and not set our own standards of justice, but it is also very important to hold justice in our hearts and always have a simple concept of good and evil.”
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Hanton, there are originally two standards of justice, one is objective and the other is subjective. The formation of the latter begins with the cognition of the surrounding world. As long as this cognition is in line with the mainstream thinking of the public, there will generally be no problems."
“I actually want to say that although some of your actions are too radical… they do make everyone feel good.”
Yang Ming clicked his tongue and said, "I dare not say that, but it is indeed quite refreshing to see His Royal Highness Prince Gehari lose his right to succession."
The group of people suddenly wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud.
The colonel from the CIA smiled and took out a vibrating communicator. ——In prison, people are not allowed to bring their own communication devices, but now it is a special case.
The colonel's expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he stood up with a bang.
"I need to go back now! Sorry everyone!"
Several people around asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"What's the problem?"
The colonel of the Military Intelligence Bureau frowned and said, "I don't know if this can be announced to the public for the time being."
Yang Ming smiled and asked, "I'm also a little curious, what happened?"
"Since Lieutenant Colonel Hanton asked, it's not that I can't tell you. This matter will probably become explosive news soon... Just now, a prince, a grand duke , two hereditary earls, and more than 60 senior officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau were attacked at the same time."
"What?"
"Damn it! The New Federal CIA is starting to become shameless!!"
"Aren't they afraid of our second expedition?"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "We can't be sure it was done by the CIA yet...were they attacked at the same time?"
"Yes, they were attacked at the same time."
The Colonel of the Military Intelligence Bureau looked at the rapidly scrolling information and said quickly:
"Half of the attackers are robots. According to eyewitnesses, they have the ability to change, bodies that can transform from liquid to solid at any time, and powerful firepower... Only a few of the top powers in the galaxy can produce such powerful technology. We don't even have it... Oh! Damn it! Almost all the senior officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau have been assassinated! They are all from the Foreign Affairs Bureau! Why are they targeting our Foreign Affairs Bureau!"
The communicators of several officers vibrated at the same time.
They each stood up.
"Emergency transfer order."
"Damn, the vacation is over for these CIA bitches!"
"The entire territory is under martial law. We have to hurry back! Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Hanton. I can only talk to you next time."
Yang Ming stood up and saluted: "Everyone, just go back to work... If the military needs me to do something, please send the letter here directly!"
“Thank you in advance for your support.”
The officers left in a hurry, some of them didn't even have time to put on their hats, they started running.
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at the warden, who was also looking down at some group chats. The news had already spread among the aristocratic circle.
"Warden?"
"Hey, I'm here! Your Excellency, please give me your orders."
"You are a hereditary earl, you don't have to be so respectful to me," Yang Ming said seriously, "It is inconvenient for me to communicate information in prison. If there is any follow-up to this matter, please give me a copy of the information."
"Don't worry, I will send your access terminal back immediately and open a dedicated line for you."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome... This incident seems to be very serious. It is said that the prince and duke who were assassinated were both from the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Oh, my God, the top officials of the Foreign Affairs Bureau were assassinated at the same time! Can the annual tribute be collected this year?"
Yang Ming frowned and moved closer, and together with the warden, he started browsing the information exchange platform of the aristocratic circle.
…
Half an hour later.
Emperor Star, Palace Module, the Emperor’s bedroom.
The old emperor's expression darkened visibly. In front of him were kneeling maids and standing ministers. Outside the door also hurriedly came the military commander and powerful elders of the Council of Elders.
The maids continued to report on the assassination attack.
The only people left at the top of the Foreign Affairs Bureau are a few deputy directors who are approaching retirement and have no responsibilities.
Two members of the Sherman family were assassinated.
Almost within five minutes, dozens of senior officials of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau died at the same time, and the murderers either disappeared or melted directly when they were rounded up, turning into a non-metallic liquid on the ground.
Not to mention any information, even the technology of these liquid robots themselves was not preserved at all.
"A bunch of rubbish."
The old emperor said in a deep voice.
The officials and maids were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
"Your Majesty," the chief elder reported with his head bowed, "We have taken emergency measures. The governors of various regions of the empire, the great nobles, and the senior officials of our government departments have now moved to a sufficiently safe environment, and a large number of protection personnel have been dispatched. We have mobilized all the super reformers to protect the royal family members."
The old emperor nodded slightly: "Now, can you tell me who is targeting us?"
"We haven't yet obtained enough information. The other party should be using this kind of high-tech assassination robots. This kind of technology... I'm afraid only the other three most powerful political systems have this level of technology."
"Your Majesty! This is definitely a comprehensive technical means that can only be achieved at the third level of civilization!"
“That’s enough!”
The old emperor's pajamas are shaking:
"Tell me now, who planned this action and brutally killed so many officials of my empire!
“This time they dared to directly purge the Foreign Affairs Bureau, next time they will dare to purge the military, the Council of Elders, and my palace!
"You didn't even have any intelligence in advance. You were infiltrated so badly. Assholes! A bunch of assholes! Capture the director and deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau!"
The military commander hurriedly said, "But Your Majesty, replacing the management of the Military Intelligence Bureau at this juncture may be..."
"Am I asking for your opinion?" The old emperor's voice was extremely cold.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
The military commander immediately retreated and rushed to give the director and deputies of the Military Intelligence Bureau an order to assemble.
At the same time, in the New Federal City of Minter, the CIA's temporary base.
A group of CIA executives who were in an emergency meeting were looking at each other in bewilderment.
After they communicated with each other and learned that the scientific research departments they were in charge of had not developed this kind of liquid robot or carried out similar operations, these CIA senior officials all thought of the same possibility.
Those masters in Congress also support other intelligence agencies?
They themselves don't believe that this wasn't done by the New Federation.
