Chapter 664: Liu Xing's Dilemma, Lloyd's Help
However, the extraterrestrial community's evaluation of Guixing's reputation is not so one-sided.
Although the lower-class citizens began to gloat over the misfortune.
Because some time ago, Li Yu's reputation spread throughout the interstellar world, and some people whose IP addresses were located as Guixing were also very arrogant.
But now, Guixing has directly expelled Li Yu because of a statement from the Xingyao Empire, making it clear that it wants to cut off ties with the alien camp.
Gui Xing's cowardice was clearly revealed, making them laugh at him.
However, most people with a little foresight know that the separation of Guixing is inevitable, and it is meaningless to dwell on a statement.
And this superficial statement will not change anything in essence.
If Gui Xing and Li Yu had discussed it secretly, then this statement would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper, just to deal with the Xingyao Empire.
However, even so, it still makes some people feel awe-inspiring.
The majesty of the empire still exists. Even Guixing, which has been in its heyday recently, has to make such a response and dares not confront it head-on.
Shortly after Guixing released its statement, the Civilization Alliance, which had a relatively low presence, suddenly emerged and issued a joint statement:
They claimed that Guixing was an important member of their organization and a founding civilization of the Alliance of Civilizations, and that the Alliance of Civilizations would always support Guixing.
This statement seems to be incoherent, but in fact it is a support for Guixing.
The loose organization of the Alliance of Civilizations actually has no presence in the interstellar space.
But they are also a force that cannot be ignored, and Guixing is quite powerful and influential. It has a strong appeal within the Civilization Alliance, and its reputation has been rising in recent years.
They don't want to see the Xingyao Empire take this opportunity to strike a blow to Guixing.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Guixing releases that cut-off statement, and they have the position to stand up for Guixing. Otherwise, the Xingyao Empire does not mind starting a war that sweeps across the interstellar space.
Among the civilization alliances, the strongest civilization is not Guixing, but Holivias, followed by Guixing and Lingzhe.
It’s just that Hollyvias is too far away from Guixing, and it’s impossible to cooperate with him in many aspects.
Various forces and statements emerge one after another, revealing the changes in the interstellar situation.
The game between the major civilizations and organizations has been very exciting for many spectators and has undoubtedly become a hot topic of conversation recently.
However, many spectators waited for a long time but did not get any response from one of the protagonists, the camp in the other dimension.
This mysterious force continued to act as they had in the past and did not respond to the Star Empire's declaration of war.
This disappointed some onlookers, who also thought that the alien camp was afraid or was preparing to avoid the limelight and did not want to confront the Star Empire head-on.
"It's not shameful to hide from the Star Empire. On the contrary, the Star Empire's statement is so strong. It would be embarrassing if they can't achieve anything."
Some people have suggested that the Star Empire is now in a difficult situation, and Morgan's death has forced them to respond.
But if the corresponding results are not achieved, then this strong statement will once again become a laughing stock.
As time passed, the dark clouds hanging over the interstellar space became increasingly thicker, and some weaker civilizations became increasingly uneasy, fearing that a war might break out at any time.
The Star Empire’s statement is not just empty talk, and the emperor’s so-called thorough investigation is more than just two words.
Star Empire - Imperial Research Institute - Distributed Link Energy Transfer Research Laboratory.
Their goal is to develop more efficient ways of transferring energy, and their results are remarkable.
The Imperial Research Institute has always been a relatively confidential place within the Star Empire, and only high-ranking officials have the opportunity to come into contact with it.
But today, the peace here was broken by an uninvited guest.
A team of soldiers wearing black metal armor walked down from a specially shaped aircraft. They moved in unison, and it was obvious that they had undergone rigorous training.
There is a scorpion pattern on the metal armor on the chest, which looks hideous and ferocious.
"Scorpion Squad..."
The soldier guarding here had a slightly changed expression. This was a high-level team of the empire, responsible for dealing with traitors and the like.
The purpose of their coming here is self-evident.
Several guards looked at each other and were about to step forward to stop them when their smart terminals rang. They looked down and saw an authorization instruction telling them not to make any interceptions.
The faces of several people changed slightly, and they could only watch as the team opened the door and walked in.
"Isn't the Scorpion Squad a department specifically responsible for investigating traitors? Why are they here at the Imperial Research Institute? Could there be a traitor in the Imperial Research Institute?"
"It's hard to say. Because of that alien camp these past two days, there's a suppressed atmosphere in the empire that could explode at any time. We better be careful."
“…”
"...Dr. Ramon, why is my energy node burned out? The alpha index is normal..."
Liu Xing walked towards a young man holding a tablet computer, which was full of complex simulation diagrams of energy transmission channels.
Ramon glanced at Liu Xing, smiled gently and said, "Look... although the α index of this node is normal, the fourth corner node..."
He was explaining in a low voice, and the distance between him and Ryusei was getting closer and closer.
The rest of the experimenters were also working on their own, with some occasionally communicating in low voices.
"...Alas, the top brass is really furious this time. Lord Mogan, such a distinguished figure, died just like that."
"Yeah, that alien camp is too arrogant..."
This is a big thing that has happened recently and almost everyone is discussing it, including them.
However, at this moment, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened.
The Scorpion Squad walked in aggressively. Many researchers in the laboratory looked up in confusion, and then their faces changed slightly.
However, their status was not ordinary after all, and someone even directly scolded them: "Who asked you to come here! Don't you know that this is a confidential place!?"
The Scorpion Squad ignored them, looked around, set their sights directly on Liu Xing, and walked straight towards him.
Ramon frowned slightly and said, "I am Inster Ramon, what do you want?"
Although his family was not as powerful as the seven noble families in the Star Empire, they were still a powerful and prominent family with a very tough attitude.
But the Scorpion Squad ignored him and issued a mechanized voice from under the helmet: "Imperial Research Institute - Junior Researcher - Farah, after investigation, we now suspect that you and Li Yu had a secret contact, and arrest you."
An intelligent projection appeared on his chest, which was an arrest warrant with seals from several departments on it.
Ramon's expression suddenly changed. Li Yu? Long Zun? An alien camp?
He turned to look at Liu Xing in disbelief, only to see that he looked calm, without any excuses or fear.
Due to the Battle of Hisank, people in the Star Empire are terrified of alien-dimensional camps.
After the official declaration of war, the alien dimension camp became the enemy of every citizen of the Star Empire.
The level of investigation into Li Yu was not so high before, and no one cared about the slightest clues of the secret contact between Liu Xing and Li Yu.
But now the situation is completely different. Anyone who has anything to do with the alien camp will be subjected to the wrath of the Star Empire!
"Now, come with us."
The Scorpion Squad took out mechanical shackles, locked them on Liu Xing, and took her out in full view of everyone.
Only many stunned researchers were left. Farah was actually in secret contact with Li Yu?
Ramon's expression flickered, and he suddenly ran in another direction.
The Scorpion Squad acted very quickly and soon brought Liu Xing to a special interrogation location.
"…At 13:56 on the 17th, the Imperial Research Institute made an anonymous call. According to our investigation, there is an 87% chance that it is contacting Li Yu…"
The interrogator presented a large amount of evidence, which basically corresponded to the several time points when she contacted Li Yu.
Liu Xing remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.
Ever since the news of the Hisank civilization broke, she knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Should she say she regrets it, maybe a little. After all, she now has a bright future and has completely escaped from the days of living on the edge of a knife.
But it's not like she regretted it. Li Yu had done her a favor, and she kept it in mind. There was nothing wrong with repaying the favor.
We can only blame Li Yu’s astonishing growth rate, which has reached the point where the Star Empire has to take it seriously.
She sighed inwardly, and the interrogator had already listed the evidence. His voice was cold: "Fara or Liu Xing, you only have one chance now. Follow our instructions and contact Long Zun Li Yu..."
"If you refuse, I will let you taste a fear beyond death."
"Your top-secret information has been unlocked. I know you used to be an interstellar raider. Then you should know that death is never the most painful thing."
Liu Xing's expression changed slightly when he heard this. In the interstellar space, death is always the lightest punishment. There are too many ways to make a living being live a life worse than death.
However, at this moment, the green light in the interrogation room flashed a few times, and his expression changed slightly, and he said:
"I'll give you half an hour to think about it carefully."
Liu Xing's limbs have been completely restrained, and the flow of energy in his body has also been curbed.
Not to keep her from running away, but to keep her from committing suicide.
He walked out of the interrogation room. There was a very cold-looking woman standing outside. She looked indifferent and asked, "Judge Walter, who told you to arrest her?"
"Senior Researcher Savier?" Walter glanced at the woman and recognized her. A strange smile appeared on his face full of scars and pits.
"I know she is your daughter, and I don't want to offend you unless it is necessary. Unfortunately... this matter has been directly handled by Lord Loren..."
Loren?
Savile's cold expression changed instantly. Although was a senior researcher at the Imperial Research Institute, her status and position were still far behind Loren.
"I advise you not to get involved in this matter, otherwise the Imperial Court will welcome you very much." Watt glanced greedily at Savile's beautiful face and figure.
Xavier's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was not fear but nausea.
She clenched her fists, her eyes full of anger, yet she seemed helpless.
That was her biological daughter who had been lost for many years. She had finally found her, but she was arrested and taken to the Imperial Inquisition, which was feared by everyone.
But this matter involves the alien dimension camp and Li Yu, who is currently the empire's primary enemy, and even she can't deal with it.
"You'd better go back. No one can take the person out of the Imperial Inquisition!" Walter showed a cruel smile.
"Oh, really?"
A clear voice came from the other side of the metal corridor.
Walter's face changed slightly, and he looked in the direction of the voice. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but trembled and said, "Lloyd...Your Highness?"
The person who came was Lloyd, followed by several Gundam bodyguards with cold expressions.
The soldiers of the Inquisition were squeezed on both sides and showed helpless expressions to Watt.
"You... why are you here?" Walter said with a wry smile.
"Did you catch someone named Farah?" Lloyd asked directly.
"Yes, the person has just been brought here..." Walter answered cautiously.
"Very well, I'll take her away." Lloyd's tone was indifferent. He didn't ask any questions, just informed.
Next to him, Xavier, who was disheartened and almost desperate, looked up at Lloyd in disbelief.
"This...?" Walter showed an embarrassment, "We are directly connected with the Loren family, and the person they want to capture..."
"Let them come to me directly and ask for it!" Lloyd had a tough attitude, and the bodyguard behind him didn't hesitate at all and punched down the door of the Inquisition.
Liu Xing was sitting there, still a little confused, looking at the door blankly.
Several tall men came in and forcibly unlocked the mechanical shackles that bound her.
When Walter saw this scene, he seemed to want to say something, his face flushed, but he had to hold it back.
What is the Imperial Inquisition in front of Lloyd?
He is the first heir to the empire, and there are countless people who want to curry favor with him.
Although Liu Xing and Li Yu are secretly connected, he seems to be a very important person.
But her actual value is not high, and it is even more impossible to use her to cause any effective attack on the alien camp.
Even if he reported the matter, at most it would just make a big deal out of a small matter, and it would be impossible to attract the attention of the top management.
As for Lloyd taking Liu Xing away, is there any hidden story behind it?
Is it even possible that Lloyd is secretly connected with Li Yu?
All I can say is that this is simply impossible, and Lloyd has too many reasons to explain it.
And it is possible that the first heir to the empire is colluding with Li Yu?
No one would believe this no matter how you say it.
