under the mask

Laval leaned on the conference table angrily and looked at the Prime Minister: "You can't do this! I will send someone to pick up my son!"

The parents of the Ma Da and Potter families also stood up silently, which meant it was self-evident.

Grad clasped his hands and propped his chin, with a leisurely smile on the corner of his mouth: "Quiet, gentlemen, you should already know that the space port outside the central city has been completely blocked."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Madam Elizabeth's face was ashen, her hands in black velvet gloves trembling slightly, "Do you want to destroy the great nobles! Don't forget who supported you to get to where you are today!"

It's a pity that even she could hear the weakness and weakness in her own voice.

Gray made a regretful expression.

"I didn't do anything. I told you about my plan many years ago." He spread his hands and said, "The current system of the empire is too corrupt. The government and the army are full of noble children. No matter who Do you have the ability to match?"

"Then, are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge after using us?" Duke Laval narrowed his eyes, and then raised his killing intent in anger, "You want to sacrifice our heir as a start?"

Grad stared at him unmoved, and after a while he let go: "No, dear Bluebeard, I still remember our transaction." He snapped his fingers behind him, and the virtual image of secretary Marianne Stepping out from the wall, he carefully stood behind the prime minister.

"Go and tell Scott to ensure the safety of those children." Gradle ordered softly.

The young secretary turned around and left without hesitation.

Gradle smiled at the cabinet members again: "Next Monday at the latest, I promise you will see the children standing in front of you... Now, gentlemen, tell me that you will never hinder my plan?"

Duke Laval's anger cooled down, and he exchanged glances with the others calmly.Of course, according to his wishes, what he wants most is to teach this lowly and humble person a bloody lesson... However, the fact is that they have no way to restrain Greid anymore, when they handed over the power to this man In fact, I hoped that he could bring more practical benefits to the nobles, but I didn't expect that greed would actually harm me...

Especially now that they don't even know Grad's true strength.

Earl Verdecourt, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up, bowed to Greed, and murmured, "I will serve you at any time, Your Excellency."

The other nobles immediately looked at him angrily, but Verdecourt ignored them.What choice does he have now?Although he has plans to surrender to Grad, but more importantly, his son, Scott, has become a powerful weapon for Grad to realize his dictatorship... The Verdecourt family and Grad are completely tied together, At this time, it is the smartest way to happily give Grad what he wants.

The Verdecourt family had no other choice but to follow Greder.

Greid seemed very satisfied, he looked at the other great nobles who stopped talking, turned and left the meeting room.

"Your family will pay the price for your stupid decision." Lady Elizabeth pointed her hooked nose at the earl like an angry eagle.

Earl Verdecourt looked at her sullenly, and walked out through another door without saying a word.He regretted it immensely at the moment, if he hadn't been tempted by power and had sent Scott to Grade, maybe his son would still be the normal person who was taciturn but had feelings for the family.

If you say you regret it, who among the five nobles can regret it more than him?

The remaining four people in the conference room faced each other, and the solemn atmosphere made the entire gorgeous space like an icehouse.

Ever since Greder's subordinates added a guard with a strange number a month ago, an uneasy atmosphere began to pervade the entire Central City.They saw with their own eyes that the guard soldiers in that team killed a woman who was said to be a suspected diver from the north with extremely cruel means, and finally found out that it was just an interstellar stowaway without household registration.Those soldiers didn't look like human beings at all. Whether it was their faces hidden under the metal masks all the time, or their silent movements, it made people deeply suspicious.Greid told them that it was just a specially trained special guard.

The number of special guards is increasing.

Afterwards, the central city began to impose a traffic restriction, and the civilians and nobles were controlled, and the poor areas outside the [-]th district were completely isolated.Today, even the space hall leading to the galaxy has been closed, and all flights have ceased operation.

This is simply the prelude to a coup!

"Is Your Majesty still recuperating?" Earl Ma Ma stroked his mustache anxiously.He realized that he hadn't been to see His Majesty Rebis for a long, long time. At this moment, he realized that no matter how the times changed, the fate of the so-called nobles was closely related to the imperial power. That Greeder's ambition was simply terrifying. Once he succeeds in overthrowing the royal family, the great nobles who hold military power and a part of the political power will become the biggest stumbling block!

Hearing what he said, Laval couldn't help but sneered, and sat down on the velvet-backed chair with his forehead propped up. He was more worried about Seth than he was about Gradle's coup. His son is not the kind of person who would obediently wait for rescue... But now what else could they do but trust that Greed would keep his promise and send the child back?His Majesty?I'm afraid he was imprisoned by Greed long ago?

But when he thought of the day His Majesty Rebis was crowned more than 20 years ago, he couldn't help but hope again.

Will a person like His Majesty really be controlled by Greed?

"Where is Brigitte?" Earl Potter asked him in a low voice, "Could it be that he even has the brains of the military...?"

"The control room of the brain has been closed."

"Papa hasn't been in a cabinet meeting for a year."

The great nobles became worried in their hearts.

On the distant Guardian Six, Seth is taking a life-threatening adventure just as his father feared.He and Kashi quickly walked along the safe passage against the wall, and the main control room was at the right turn.

Just when they were about to rush to the T-shaped intersection, the sound of conversation and footsteps came from the left side ahead, only six or seven meters away from them!

Seth and Kashi stopped suddenly, but there was only one wall protruding slightly beside them, because a communicator was installed, but that narrow corner could only hide one person at most!They stared at each other for a brief second, and then in the blink of an eye, Kashgar's gaze became firm, and he rushed forward without hesitation, and quickly turned to the right.

Seth didn't have time to stop or say anything, so he could only turn around and quickly stick to the corner. There was an exclamation from the intersection, followed by chaotic footsteps chasing to the right.He clenched his fists in shock, gritted his teeth, came out from the corner where he was hiding, ran to the intersection and turned right.All the people have been lured away by Kashgar, and he can reach the main control room safe and sound.

Why couldn't his reaction be any faster? !He is an aristocrat and Kashgar is a commoner. Those people may really kill Kashgar to vent their anger, but they will never dare to touch him, at least for now—it’s too late to say anything now, he can only try his best to complete the seemingly Impossible mission, maybe there is a chance to save all of them!

In the main control room, Davos is sitting in front of the monitor and eating lunch, leisurely cutting a large piece of tender steak with a knife and fork, drinking a little wine from time to time.He casually glanced at a row of monitoring screens in front of him. During the shift change, there was no one on the monitors.When he looked down to study the texture of the steak, he missed the scene of Kashi and the soldiers chasing and Seth approaching the main control room against the wall.

The security door was slightly moved a little. In order to facilitate the kitchen staff to send the fried steak into the main control room, he did not open the coded door lock device.It made it easier for Seth to act.

When Davos realized that there was someone behind him, the cold barrel of the gun had already touched his temple.

"Who are you?!" Davos shouted angrily, but he didn't dare to move his body.

"This has nothing to do with your life," Seth leaned over and whispered in his ear, "For your life, sir, please unlock the combination lock of the hive and restore the network signal by the way."

Although Davos is the boss on the Guardian Six, he has only stayed in the main control room, and his body has become dull due to the circles of fat.His mind was quickly grabbing Seth's gun, but his hand was still holding the knife and fork extremely stiffly, and the fat on his chin trembled slightly due to excessive shock.

Another cold and sharp touch caused goosebumps on his neck.

From the reflection on the monitor screen, Davos saw that the teenager who covered his face pressed a hypodermic identity microcard syringe against his neck artery, and that kind of syringe would pierce the skin with just a little force, and the The fluid in it is injected into the skin.

"You... What are you going to inject me with?" Davos asked calmly.

Seth's voice was as low as a feather: "Neurotoxin, if you insist on not helping me, I can only find a way to kill you, otherwise I will be in danger, won't I?"

Neurotoxin? !All the will to resist in Davos's brain immediately collapsed. The only neurotoxin on the Guardian Six is ​​the kind they use to fight space pirates. Once injected, you will become a person who cannot speak or move limbs. But your consciousness is still awake and you can feel everything in your body!If he let the student go, it would be tantamount to betraying that person, but at least there is still hope of escape. If the neurotoxin is injected, what is the use of any material rewards given to him afterwards?

He didn't think about whether the syringe in Seth's hand was neurotoxin, after all, people who don't know about this kind of thing can't tell.

"I, I will open the combination lock immediately!" He leaned his neck forward as hard as he could, hoping to stay away from the syringe.

"Hurry up, then!" Seth snapped. "Don't try to stall, or I'll blow your head off before I get caught!"

The soldiers guarding the hive suddenly heard a strange noise from the communicator. They looked down and found that the signal that had been cut off was reconnected.At this moment, thunderous bangs suddenly sounded from the beehive, which seemed as quiet as no one was, and all the dormitory doors opened at the same time. guard.A few sporadic bursts of pulse gunfire sounded, which were soon lost in the students' roars, and the hive was completely occupied by the students.

"Kashgar was taken away!" Mu Ling grabbed Thomas and said anxiously.

"What?" Thomas opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and he and Mu Ling squeezed through the crowd and ran towards the weapon arsenal.Soon Thomas' communicator also received a message from Seth, telling them to go to the main control room.

When they came to the main control room of the sixth guard, they found twenty or thirty soldiers scattered around outside the security door, and there was a pungent smell of blood in the air.The safety door was half closed, Mu Ling and Thomas looked at each other in surprise, and slipped in through the crack of the door without a sound.

The huge light screen flickered slightly on the console, like a smooth mirror unfolding. Seth leaned over slightly, with his hands on the console and his back to them, motionless.

"Seth?" Mu Ling carefully stepped over the dead man on the ground, and stood behind Seth with Thomas.

The blue-haired boy looked back at them with a strange gleam in his eyes.

"You are here."

"You didn't kill those people outside, did you?" Thomas asked him incredulously, "How did you do it?"

Seth frowned and shook his head, then turned to look at them: "I don't have that ability... those people outside were killed by the laser laser in the safe passage, I just control those defensive devices."

Mu Ling looked at the huge light screen behind him suspiciously: "Those monitors are all black... This light screen is too big, there is nothing on it."

When Seth heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Papa."

Accompanied by his whispering, black lines gradually extended from one point to all directions on the originally blank light screen like ink blots. One minute later, a huge map was displayed in front of the three people, with a floating map on it. Dense dots of various colors.

Thomas and Mu Ling looked up at it, their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't even close their mouths.

They also knew without Seth telling them that this map must be the topographic map of the entire Guardian Six from the surface to the underground, the material reserve map...the base map that is a first-class military secret, and it was presented in front of them like this, and everything was clear at a glance.

"You... you called, Papa?" Thomas looked at Seth with an extremely dreamy look, and murmured, "I heard it right..."

How could the highest intelligence brain of the central city obey the command of a student on the distant Guardian Six?

Seth smiled at them, stretched out his right hand to sweep aside, a silver-white translucent virtual image appeared from the air out of thin air, and stood in front of them.From the other party's slender skeleton, it can even be inferred that the intellectual brain that appeared in front of them is just a teenager, although the other party's face is wearing a tight mask.

'Kashgar is in the underground prison on the other side of Guard Six. '

Papa turned his head and said softly to Seth, his voice was clear and slightly echoed.

Then his figure seemed to block a circle of water waves, and suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the three of them.

"...Wow!" Thomas clicked his tongue subconsciously: "It's so cool."

Seth frowned, and lightly touched the console behind him... Papa didn't give him any response.

At the same time, on the tallest metal spire in the central city, there is the control room of the brain center.

There is nothing in the silver-white airtight space, only a device similar to a game cabin is placed in the concave ring-shaped central area, and the terminals densely wrapped with cold shells are connected to this device, like a spider's nest.

The person lying in it had curly black hair like midnight, fair face, stern features, and blood-red lips.

On the other side of the distant starry sky, the moment Papa made his voice, Brigitte suddenly opened those foggy silver eyes, and the hands connected to the terminal moved slightly. Calculated at a very fast speed, and finally caught a certain thread in that moment.

"Found... you."
