Chapter 501: Shadows in the Dark, Deal with the Reformer
In an unknown star field, in the Abyss Research Institute, in a secret base, this place is permanently in a special position where black chains are intertwined.
Heavy footsteps walked towards the hatch at the deepest part of the base and slowly approached. A large number of black chains were intertwined on the heavy metal hatch.
With a click, the chain on the hatch broke, the hatch opened, and dazzling light shone in, tearing a small hole in the darkness.
A team of soldiers wearing special armor stood at the door. Light shone through the gaps in the crowd. The leader made an emotionless voice:
"Dead silence, there is a mission."
After the words fell, there was no response, only dead silence.
However, the silence did not last long, and strange sounds came from the corners where the light could not reach.
A humanoid creature shrouded in blood-red mist walked out of the darkness. The only thing that could be seen on its body was a pair of blood-red eyeballs, and it was impossible to tell what species it was.
This is Death Silence, a special creature born in a certain dimension, and was discovered by chance by the Abyss Research Institute.
There is a certain characteristic in him - there is some special power around his body that can limit super powers.
Anyone or any object that comes within reach of his body will be unable to utilize his super powers, but he himself will not be affected.
"What...mission..." His voice was hoarse, and the interstellar common language was not standard, so he could only barely make out the general meaning.
The leading guy said in a deep voice: "Let's leave here first."
"What...mission!" he asked again, his thinking and IQ seemed to have some problems.
"Kill one person——Li Yu!"
Upon hearing the name, Silent did not show any emotion. He had been staying here for many years and had difficulty contacting the outside world. He did not know the meaning of the name.
"I need the Chains of Silence." Deathly Silence continued.
"When we leave here, we will give you the Chains of Silence." The leading guy waved to his men.
A group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and left the room in dead silence.
Every soldier's face was tense, showing solemnity and fear. They subconsciously quickened their pace, obviously wanting to shift their target as quickly as possible and not wanting to stay by his side for too long.
Only in this position can most of the power of Dead Silence be restricted.
However, the Abyss Research Institute naturally has ways to restrain it, otherwise it would not be used as a mission tool and imprisoned.
…
"Your Highness, Horus has already set off, and Li Yu has also left the Central Galaxy. It is very likely that he has gone to the meditation area..." Titus's men were reporting to him:
"In addition, he asked the logistics department to dispatch a [Blood Thunder Dragon Gene Chain] over there, and used an emergency transmission plan, mobilizing a space wormhole."
"【Blood Thunder Dragon Gene Chain】?" Titus frowned slightly. Could it be that Li Yu had to evolve three times?
Why is it so fast?
This news made him even more unhappy, and he snorted coldly: "What does he think Guixing is? His own warehouse? Can the advanced gene chain call it up whenever it wants?"
"Klein, what an idiot! Does she really think Li Yu wants her to make Guixing bigger and stronger?!"
"The alien camp is trying to take Guixing into its own hands. Only I... can lead Guixing to prosperity!"
"Yes, some senior executives also had complaints about this, but they were all suppressed." The subordinate immediately added.
"Continue to monitor their movements and report any news to me at any time." Titus ordered.
The subordinates obeyed the order and left with their heads down.
Titus stared into the void, not knowing what he was thinking. It was not until a long time later that he spoke: "Is it ready over there? I don't want any more problems to arise."
He didn't know who he was talking to, but a voice came from the shadows behind him: "Your Highness, be prepared. Horus will not come back this time."
"It's just that... Li Yu's black network didn't give an accurate answer. They are afraid of that alien camp, so what they said is that you shouldn't provoke them for the time being."
Titus's face turned slightly cold: "You may be afraid, but doesn't the Black Network have the courage to snatch things from Li Yu?"
"That's not the case. They have already sent people there. What's interesting is that the Abyss Research Institute is also there, as well as several secret organizations." The man shook his head and explained:
"Many forces are very curious about this suddenly emerging alien camp. Meditation... is a perfect opportunity to test it."
Titus' expression then eased slightly.
"It's just that, Your Highness... getting rid of Horus has already damaged the interests of Guixing itself. Is it necessary to go to this extent?"
The person standing in the shadow seemed to be of a high status, otherwise he would not dare to ask such a question in front of Titus.
Titus did not answer the question directly, but said: "You have just become the queen and you have lost a famous general. This will be a fatal blow to Klein."
"Also, don't let Bolvar know about this. He won't agree."
Although Bolvar supports him, he will only support him if it does not harm the overall interests of Guixing.
Killing Horus would be a huge loss, and Bolvar would never agree to it.
"I understand..." The man in the shadow did not give too much advice, perhaps because he knew that even if he tried to persuade, it would be useless.
…
"Mr. Hasband, how come you suddenly have time to contact me?" Li Yu stared at the figure on the screen. This communication request came very suddenly.
Husband still dressed like an ordinary citizen, like an old man who likes to walk his bird in the park early in the morning.
"I heard that Guixing was attacked recently. Some armed groups took advantage of the instability of the regime when Queen Klein ascended the throne and launched a massive attack."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your intelligence is very timely. Could it be that there are reformers among those in the resistance organization?"
Hasband's expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We reformers aim to liberate the oppressed and impoverished citizens. Those terrorist organizations that kill people wantonly have nothing to do with us."
"But..." At this point, he changed the subject, "We did receive some news that may be helpful to Guixing."
Hmm? Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. The Reformer actually came to help Guixing.
Guixing has been lucky recently. The Star Empire and the Reformers are all rushing to help, fearing that something might happen to Guixing.
Li Yu thought for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Which organizations' leaders do you want?"
After thinking about it, he could only think of this point, which was why the reformer suddenly came to him and offered his services.
At that time, the leaders of the three organizations, including the Blade of Kuzan and the Red Holy Flame, were captured by Harken and then thrown to the Blood Duke as power banks, whose blood essence was drained.
Later, when Li Yu was killing people everywhere, those people were in the universe and were not affected, and they were still alive and well.
Only Li Yu was captured as trophies, a total of four people, including the commanders of the three top resistance organizations and the Reformer fleet.
Later, he conducted in-depth physical examinations on several people, and the three life forms that were used as power banks by the Blood Duke were basically useless.
With his genetic structure destroyed, it would be impossible for him to recover his peak strength in this lifetime. Only one psychic escaped.
"Your Excellency is very smart. Yes, we hope to use this information to exchange those leaders back." Hasband did not deny that this was their original purpose.
"There are 35 terrorist organizations in total. We can provide relevant activity data and even action predictions for 29 of them..."
"As for the remaining six, we currently have no intelligence sources."
Li Yu also vaguely sensed something was wrong and looked at Hasband suspiciously: "You guys are selling these organizations to me?"
“That’s really cruel.”
Li Yu could vaguely guess that if it was just basic intelligence information, it would be nothing and not have much value.
But most valuable of all are what Husband calls predictions of organizational action.
This will save a lot of time in returning to the star, and you can just sit back and wait, and the cost will be greatly reduced.
As only the most core personnel have access to the action plan, it is obvious that these organizations are secretly collaborating deeply with the reformers.
But now, the reformers have betrayed them all without hesitation.
"I don't understand what you are saying, Your Excellency?" Hasband shook his head, not admitting this. He then continued, "Our goal is to liberate the oppressed and poor people. The mass killings were entirely the work of a terrorist organization."
“Those terrorist organizations that attack as resistance organizations are also our enemies.”
Li Yu ignored these high-sounding words. The reformer's choice was actually not surprising.
It is impossible for such a large organization to act like a living organism and do something according to its own character.
Interests must come first.
Dozens of unknown small organizations were abandoned at will.
"Who is supporting them behind the scenes? Is it you?" Li Yu asked.
Husband shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, and simply asked, "Have we reached a deal?"
Li Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay, but I will hand over Shabak, Walter and Iroha to you in exchange for intelligence support."
Husband frowned slightly and said, "And Sam."
Sam is the mutant and the commander of the Transformer fleet, and still maintains A4 level combat capability.
"Haha..." Li Yu chuckled twice: "Although the three Iroha are still valuable to you, they are just three useless people in my eyes."
"Just like the movements of those organizations, they are of little use to you, but very important to Guixing."
“It’s normal to trade something that is unimportant to you but important to the other party.”
Li Yu stared at Hasband with a half-smile: "But Sam, an A4-level life form, is not priced at this price."
Hasband's expression was slightly gloomy. Exchanging only three people did not meet his psychological expectations at all.
“I can tell you who is behind these organizations…” Husband continued.
"Not enough. They are just those forces and those people. A little investigation will reveal their traces." Li Yu shook his head.
"Then what do you want, sir?" Husband asked, and then added: "If the request is too harsh, we will refuse it."
Li Yu smiled inexplicably: "I want you to issue an official announcement, declaring that Guixing is a civilization of hope, and you will not support any resistance activities that occur in the territory in the future."
"And make friendly relations with Klein..."
"Impossible!" Hasband rejected Li Yu's words subconsciously before he finished speaking: "The Reformers have never issued such a statement!"
Although reformers are not accepted by the ruling class in the interstellar world, they are welcomed by the lower classes.
Their fame has spread to almost every corner of the galaxy. How far has it reached?
If you are scolded by your boss, you will think of the reformer.
If this bastard oppresses me again, I will join the reformers and kill him!
Although this is just a fleeting thought, not everyone has the courage to join the change makers.
But this has also become a symbol in the hearts of all lower-class citizens.
At least someone is resisting!
If the Reformers issued such a statement, resistance activities within Guixing would be almost nonexistent, and it would also bring Klein unparalleled prestige.
After all, the oppression suffered by most citizens is not serious and they have basically become accustomed to it.
They will only think that our civilization is an excellent civilization recognized by all reformers.
However, it will also bring a lot of criticism to the reformers.
"What if the leader of the White Rebellion is included?" Li Yu was not surprised at Hasband's refusal.
"Yodl is in your hands?!" Hasband was subconsciously shocked and his face changed drastically.
Yodel disappeared in the Borderlands for a long time, and the Reformers tried to find out about them, but found nothing.
The White Rebellion is a rising star that they are quite optimistic about.
Although the leaders are relatively young, they have great potential after their guidance.
But the Reformers didn't expect that Yodel would be drawn to the Borderlands.
At that time, the Reformers had no way to directly tell Yodel of their plan to ambush the Star Empire, so they could only ignore it for the time being.
However, when they came to their senses, they found that the entire top leadership of the White Rebellion had disappeared without a trace.
Now Hasband realized that the White Rebellion had fallen into Li Yu's hands, which made him feel heavy.
A video was sent over, showing the scene of Yodel and his men being imprisoned, and it looked very miserable.
"This..." Hasband looked hesitant, as if he was experiencing some kind of inner struggle.
