Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

"Please give us your weapons and laptops for safekeeping. Fighting and stealing are not allowed in the venue. If you have similar items, please give them to us and we will return them to you after you leave the venue."

Auctions often have such rules, so the few people were not surprised. They took off their computers and weapons and placed them on trays, and the waiters at the side conducted full-body security scans.

Military optical computers usually contain more advanced biometric encryption devices than civilian ones, and cannot be unlocked by anyone other than the holder. Forcible unlocking and decryption will trigger an automatic destruction program, so they are not very worried.

Although it was Lu Jinzhao's first time to participate in an auction, he did not show any emotional fluctuations.

The tighter the defense, the more important the things hidden inside.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

A waiter in a black suit came over, wearing a crow mask with black feathers and a sharp beak on his face. He handed them five masks of different shapes and said, "Welcome to the Orlando Auction House. Please follow me into the venue."

The masks were all half-length, covering the eyes. They were probably selected by the waiter based on the colors of their clothes in a short time. The five people took the masks and put them on, and followed the waiter into the auction house. After walking through the long corridor, they saw a circular hall with a high platform in the middle and several circles of chairs neatly placed around it.

The waiter led the five people to a private room on the third floor. After seeing them sit down, he said to them, "Everyone, the auction is about to begin. Please wait patiently."

After saying that, the waiter respectfully turned around and left the room.

Lan Jue stood up and walked to the glass cover, staring at the center of the auction hall. At this time, people came in one after another, and the waiters led them to the arranged seats. He was sharp-eyed and found that some people wore badges of the same style but different materials on their chests. He guessed that the guards were identifying the guests based on the material of the badges, and the diamond badge should belong to the higher-level category.

Tu Ling held up Qiansui with both hands and stared at the badge on its neck again and again: "It's a pity that we don't know the issuance standard of this badge and what tricks are involved. Otherwise, we can copy a few more."

Lu Jinzhao took off his coat and put it on the seat, "Thousand Years Old."

"Here I come!" Qiansui broke free from Tu Ling's hand, took out a capsule, pressed the button on the top, and the capsule emitted a light yellow light, scanning Lu Jinzhao from head to toe.

It threw the capsule onto the seat, and the capsule automatically projected a holographic image exactly the same as Lu Jinzhao.

The naked eye cannot tell the difference between the real person and the fake, and he can even put a coat on him. He hides the projection inside the coat so that even from the back, there is no flaw.

Tu Ling looked at the projection, then at Lu Jinzhao himself: "What are you doing???"

"I need to do something." Lu Jinchao took out the weapons that he had prepared by letting the others draw blind boxes and put them in their hands. "These are disposable compressed capsules. You can take out the weapons inside by crushing them. Just in case a fight breaks out, you don't have to worry about me. Go ahead and meet up at the residence."

"be careful."

"I know." Lu Jinzhao took out the projection dummy controller and threw it to Jian Tingzhi: "If we are searched later, we can use this to control the projection and get away with it."

Jian Tingzhi was stunned for a moment: "Why give it to me?"

While wrapping a bandage around his wrist, Lu Jinzhao said calmly, "There's no special reason. You just don't want to give it to others."

While the waiters were going back and forth on the first and second floors and there was no one on the third floor, Lu Jinzhao opened the door of the private room and rushed out.

Qiansui put her arm around his shoulders, analyzing the terrain while chuckling, "If nothing unexpected happens, they should think you want to buy something, or just come to have fun. They definitely won't think you're here to investigate, hehe."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's make a quick decision."

"Good good."

Just then guests started to arrive and the crowd was quite mixed. The staff were busy giving instructions and had no time to take care of other things, which gave him a great opportunity.

Lu Jinzhao arrived at the door of the control room without any obstruction. The ventilation hole was too small for him to get in, so he went around to the end of the corridor and climbed in through the skylight. He hid in the blind spot on the top of the beams like the Phantom Thieves of Heart, and listened carefully to the people talking below.

The tall and thin man asked the person sitting at the operating table: "Are all the Gem members here?"

The man at the console called up the screen and replied, "The gem badges are all here, but the weird thing is that the badge of the young master of the Kappa family is here, but the young master himself is not."

"The young master of the Kappa family... the golden-haired guy with a lot of tricks in his head?"

"Yes, when I went to deliver the badge, he said he would definitely be there to bid for our grand finale today. Now the badge has arrived but he hasn't. I find it a little strange. Those who came don't look like members of the Kappa family."

"Go call Young Master Kappa and confirm it."

"Yes."

Qiansui was shocked: "The car overturned so fast, like a tornado, we can't let him make this call!"

Lu Jinzhao pulled out two barbed needles from the weapon system, threw them with his backhand, and accurately stabbed the two men's necks. The neurotoxin inside could paralyze an animal weighing several tons within three seconds, and he knocked down the two humans easily in an instant.

Seeing the two people fall to the ground, Lu Jinzhao counted to three seconds in his heart. Nothing happened, so he put on the invisibility cloak that he had opened the blind box not long ago, turned over and climbed down to the ground, letting Qiansui connect to the operating console host and copy all the data.

Copying it back and comparing it carefully would be much more useful than just searching it here. However, the data was so huge that even at the speed of interstellar transmission, it would take a quarter of an hour to transfer it.

Chitose sighed, "I hope there won't be any more problems."

Lu Jinzhao glanced at the various windows that kept popping up and started to operate at the counter. It didn't matter if the file was encrypted, he could take it back and decipher it slowly.

The copy protection system is a bit tricky.

But it doesn't bother him.

The guests have arrived and the staff are guarding the entrances and exits on the first and second floors, as well as the door leading to the third floor.

During this period, two armed personnel will patrol the area.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Lu Jinzhao hid the copying program, used an inhaled antidote to wake up the two people on the ground, and retreated back to the eaves.

Chitose inserted his tail into the operating table, which was dozens of times faster than wireless reception. He was in stealth mode and no one could see him.

The two men woke up slowly and quickly got up from the ground. One checked the data on the console and the other checked the surveillance in the house. They found nothing abnormal and looked at each other in surprise.

Just then, a patrol officer swiped through the door and walked in. They talked to each other and confirmed that they did not see any suspicious persons, so they felt relieved.

The call to the Capa family was finally made.

"Who?"

"Hello, Master Kappa. I am the person in charge of the Orlando Auction House. The system shows that your gem badge is in place, but the attendant at the door said that he did not see you in person. Is there something wrong with your side that makes it inconvenient for you to come?"

"Oh... yes, I was injured and couldn't move easily, so I asked my men to go over there for me."

"Okay, sorry to bother you while you recover. We will send you the latest healing device later."

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Jinzhao and Qiansui had already collected all the information and left the room through the window.

Chitose: "What? Young Master Kappa, the bullet hit your head, not your leg? How dare you not expose me?"

"Who cares?"

Although the invisibility cloak is a D-level item, it has an anti-heat sensing module, which makes it completely invisible to any detection head. If it is not only a one-time limited use, it should be classified as an A-level item.

Lu Jinchao was walking in the corridor and could see through the transparent cover that there was an auctioneer presiding over the event. The audience was already in the full auditorium and were competing to bid for the treasures in the tray in the auctioneer's hand.

The chips used in bidding are naturally the number of people.

Chitose was puzzled. "Where on earth did they get so many heads? It's terrifying."

"have no idea."

"It's okay. Maybe everything will become clear once we decipher those files. Shall we go back to the private room now?"

"Are you sure there aren't any secret passages or rooms in this house?"

Chitose nodded, "Absolutely not. I scanned the entire 500-meter underground area, and there is no place that looks like a secret passage or secret room. My scanning function is top-notch! No terrain can escape my eyes!"

"Will it still upgrade when you evolve into an advanced system?"

"The scanning range will be expanded several times, and the scanning speed will be increased a bit. The accuracy will not change because it is already at the maximum level of accuracy."

"Okay, let's go back then."

*

Lan Ting commanded the fleet to pass through the artificial wormhole several times and finally arrived at the southwestern border galaxy where the first abnormal report was received.

His only son, Lan Jue, lost contact after coming here.

The starship commander stepped forward and saluted: "General, we have arrived at the southwestern border star system area."

Lan Ting said seriously: "According to the original plan, each team will go to their respective mission planets to organize rescue operations, and they must be quick!"

"Yes!"

The originally neat and orderly formation of starships began to disperse to various planets.

The main ship where Lan Ting was located sailed to the nearest planet and fired a particle cannon at the dome covering the planet, causing the dome to instantly twist and a buzzing sound.

"Increase the power!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the particle cannon was useless, Lan Ting said in a deep voice: "Go and fetch Weng Youyue."

"Yes."

Soon, a disheveled middle-aged man was dragged into the command room by two soldiers.

He was the non-commissioned officer who was originally responsible for managing the armaments of the border galaxies.

It was also him who did not report the incident to the Central Galaxy immediately, and even chose to block the news when he found that he could not control the situation.

It directly led to the deaths of tens of billions of the empire's citizens.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be covered up, he not only did not think about how to remedy the situation, but also absconded with the military's weapons and starships, trying to evade the sanctions of the military court.

In the end, it was Weng Youyue's secretary who saw that the situation was out of control and provided Weng Youyue's coordinates to atone for his crime. Otherwise, they would not know where to find the culprit in the vast sea of ​​stars.

Lan Ting kicked Weng Youyue in the chest and pointed the gun at his head, "I'll only ask you once, why did you betray your country?"

Weng Youyue shook his head repeatedly: "General, please understand! I have not committed treason! I didn't expect the matter to become so serious! If I had known that it would cause such serious consequences, I would have fought to the death to resolve it!"

"What a joke! Are you trying to tell me that you didn't do anything because you were afraid of a scandal that would affect your promotion?!" A sharp female voice rang out, and Sang Mo's face appeared on the screen. "You, Weng Youyue, have failed in your duty as a soldier, and you have lost your moral integrity as a citizen of the empire! You are not worthy of being a human being!"

"If my son Lan Jue cannot return safely, you know the consequences."

Lan Ting comforted his wife: "Madam, you have an old injury, so you shouldn't be too emotional. Let me interrogate him."

Ever since she learned about the existence of Shadow Network and that Lan Jue was involved in a murderous conspiracy, Sang Mo was anxious and angry, and she was determined to lead the troops here in person. If His Majesty had not temporarily arranged a rescue mission for her in other border star systems, Weng Youyue would have been chopped into pieces by her at this moment.

Sang Mo took a deep breath and said, "I leave it to you. Before sending him to the military court, I want to see you use the fifty-six tortures in the dark cell to torture him. Otherwise, I will never be able to relieve my hatred."

When Weng Youyue heard this, he was so frightened that his legs began to tremble.

Anyone who was related to the military knew about the fifty-six tortures in the secret prison. There was a criminal who was sentenced to more than thirty-four kinds of torture, but he could not help committing suicide when he experienced the first one. He was rescued several times, and finally succeeded in committing suicide by biting off the aorta in his leg and pulling out his eyes and intestines when he experienced the twelfth one.

All fifty-six kinds of torture were used once... He might as well die now!

Weng Youyue stood up and tried to grab the sergeant's gun, intending to commit suicide.

The person who can be a personal sergeant of a general is not a rookie. They were prepared and used the grappling technique to pin Weng Youyue to the ground. "Tell me, why did you commit treason? How do we open the dome?"

"I didn't commit treason!" Weng Youyue collapsed and shouted, "If I knew how to break this damn dome, I would have done it long ago!"

"Anyone who deserts a soldier during a state of war will be considered treason! Wait for your court-martial."

Weng Youyue seemed to want to argue something, but Lan Ting waved his hand to signal the non-commissioned officer to take him away.

The two non-commissioned officers blocked Weng Youyue's mouth with instant-curing gel and dragged him away.

The starship commander hurried forward: "General! Just now, all the domes were opened at the same time!"

"What?!" Lan Ting walked quickly to the central control screen: "Quick! Land on each planet, organize soldiers to search for survivors, and eliminate all monsters! Arrest all suspicious people, I want to know who is behind this!"

"Yes!"

The main ship and three accompanying ships landed at the port of Mambo Planet. Soldiers were armed and ready. They got off the warships, holding drones and scattered to search for survivors. All they saw was a desolate scene. The city had become ruins and the grassland had become a wasteland.

Broken limbs and arms were everywhere, and the ground was covered with congealed blood.

What the captains see will be synchronized to the main control screen in real time. Everyone who witnesses everything is silent, and no words can express how they feel.

The hidden monsters seemed to have smelled the scent of strangers. Some of them were so hungry that they only had the instinct to hunt. They rushed towards the army. They were shot into sieves by bullets in mid-air, and the liquid that flowed out was extremely smelly.

Soon, the soldiers finished sweeping the area near the port and reported:

"Report! The Southeast Squad has found no survivors!"

"Report! The Northwest Squadron found no survivors!"

……

Two hours later, all the teams reported the same thing: no survivors were found.

Lan Ting refused to believe it, and once again released hundreds of drones to explore the ruins. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to form a team and return to the ship to fly to the next city.

At the same time, other starships assigned to various planets sent messages that no survivors were found either.

"Release all drones, conduct a comprehensive scan, and turn the planet upside down!"
