Within 24 hours of the "Black Pearl Incident", the official death toll has reached nearly 300, and the number of missing persons has increased to more than 500. However, the golden rescue time limit has not yet passed, and the search and rescue team is still working hard to rescue.

As the capital planet of the Human Federation, the Dunkel planet has not seen such a large-scale casualty in the past 100 years. The people panicked, the Congress shook, and the president was furious. He ordered Secretary of State Hobert to personally go to the Black Pearl Space Port to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident.

On the second day after the incident, Hobert took the shuttle to the Black Pearl Space Port, and convened the first emergency meeting in the temporary headquarters set up in Terminal [-].In addition to government officials such as the chief of transportation, the chief of police, and the director of the Information Security Center, the participants also included the deputy director of St. Martin's Hospital who was in charge of medical treatment, and the acting head of the St. Martin's Research Center involved in the case of stolen drugs, Mu.

"Let's brief the situation." In the conference room, Hobert had a serious expression, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Remind me, the president will observe this meeting in real time from the 'Iron Wing', please try to be as concise as possible, don't Wasting his time."

The "Iron Wing" is located in the heart of the military and political center of the planet Dunkel. It is a huge building shaped like an eagle with wings spread out, and it is also the highest military command center of the Federation.Although the president is the supreme commander of the federal army, he usually works in the official residence. His appearance in the "Iron Wing" shows that the military warning level of this accident is already relatively high.

When the participants heard that the president was listening, their expressions became serious.The chief of police coughed dryly, and said: "Let me give a briefing." He briefly explained the number of casualties, damage, and investigation progress of the accident, and finally said: "We have already reported to Aston University. The seven suspects found by Major Jinxuan did a DNA comparison, and it was determined that they were all federal veterans, including one from the navy, two from the army, and four from the long-distance sailing army. In the past ten years, four of them participated in terrorist activities. The incident is a federally wanted criminal, and another person was imprisoned for eight years for manslaughter, and he was just released three years ago."

Hobert frowned, knocked on the table, and looked at the director of the Transportation Bureau: "Is there anything to explain?"

The director of the Transportation Bureau was sweating profusely: "Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for a wanted criminal to pass through the port security check. Let alone the port, he will be found at the shuttle station. There will also be reminders in the risk assessment for those who have been released from prison. But on the day of the incident, our ticketing system was hacked and there was a problem with the database, so their fake identities were not identified."

Hobert didn't speak this time, and only glanced at the director of the information center.The director's face was ashen, and said: "It is our negligence to be invaded by hackers. At present, the technicians are still analyzing the data, hoping to track down the location of the hacker, but it will take time."

"Can you be sure that hackers and mercenaries are the same group?"

"Yes."

Hobert frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the director of St. Martin's Hospital: "How is the captured mercenary doing now?"

"Still in intensive care." The dean said, "His chest cavity and brain were seriously injured. The delay in the operation process caused inflammation in the internal organs. Our doctors have already made a remedy. If there is no accident in the next 48 hours , he should wake up in two weeks."

The only one alive is almost as dead... Hobert's face was a little ugly, and he paused: "Have you checked the resumes of these seven people? Did you have any bad deeds during service, or were you dissatisfied with your superiors or the Federation?"

"There are more or less violations, but no obvious problems can be seen." The chief of police said, "The possibility of autonomous crimes or retaliation against society can be ruled out. The army submitted an application to ask them to assist in investigating the details of these seven individuals. Their relatives and friends, as well as those who have recently been in contact with them, should be traced within a few days."

"I will greet the military later and ask them to cooperate as soon as possible." Hobert said, and then asked the director of St. Martin's Hospital, "Are the four people they kidnapped are interns at your hospital?"

"No, it's just an intern, a freshman at the Faculty of Medicine at Aston University." The dean gestured to Mu beside him, "Dean Mu's student."

"Yes, three of them were only slightly injured and escaped safely. The police and I rushed to the scene in time only after receiving their call." Mu said: "The remaining one was seriously injured, lost a lot of blood, and is still in a coma , I don’t think it’s suitable to give a statement in the short term.”

Hobert nodded, and called up two pictures to project on the desk: "This is the incubator found at the scene, and it is said that it is also the target of the mercenary group this time. Now I want to know, what is it inside?" He looked at Mu, "There is the logo of St. Martin Research Center on the box. You are the agent appointed by Ms. Saiyana. I hope you will not hide the truth from the police." Before the meeting, he had received an email from the chief of police, St. The Martin Research Center refused to disclose the use of the drug to the police on the grounds of "commercial confidentiality".

Mu nodded and said: "Yes, I am a visiting scientist at St. Martin's Research Center. Teacher Saiyana was unable to attend the scene due to physical reasons, and authorized me to be her agent. The box contains a new type of vaccine. A few months ago, a contagious skin disease broke out on a planet in the constellation Cyrrhenus. One-fifth of the employees of a local mining company were infected. It was unbearable, so the company entrusted our center to develop a vaccine for them. This is the first batch Trial version. Due to commercial confidentiality, we cannot disclose the specific ingredients of the potion, sorry."

"We are contacting the mining company in Cydia and ask them to waive their commercial confidentiality agreement," the police chief interjected.

Hobert ignored him, and fixed his deep gaze on Mu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him: "Dean Mu, you mean, a top mercenary regiment did not hesitate to destroy a fifth of the space port just to This vaccine against a planetary skin disease in Cyrae?"

Mu nodded calmly, and said, "I don't know the purpose of the mercenaries, but the situation of the medicine is like this."

"This is illogical." Hobert said, "Can I suspect that the St. Martin Research Center is hiding something from the government?"

"No." Mu Yikou denied, "All our research projects are filed with the government, and every funding and expenditure is reported to the Federal Taxation Bureau. If your Excellency the Secretary of State has any doubts, just investigate."

"I heard that you were at the scene at the time." Hobert asked, "The police said that the incubator at the scene was opened, and all the medicine inside had evaporated, but the combination lock was not broken. Do you have anything to explain? "

Mu was still expressionless: "This vaccine will quickly deteriorate and volatilize at room temperature, otherwise it would not be stored in an incubator. As for why the box was opened, I think it is the responsibility of the police."

"Okay." Hobert didn't chase after him, and roughly sorted out the briefings and materials, and said, "Then the preliminary conclusion of the case now can be considered this way—this accident was not caused by the delay of the take-off and landing system. An accident, but an organized and premeditated terrorist attack, and the ultimate goal of the mercenaries is a batch of new vaccines against the Xanax skin disease?"

In silence, Hobert scanned the audience, and finally the police chief nodded and said: "Based on the information we have so far, this can only be the case."

The director of the information center said: "We are still analyzing the data. I believe that within a day or two, we will trace the clues left by the hackers, and we should get new evidence by then."

The director of St. Martin's Hospital said: "We will pay close attention to the suspect's condition and try to bring him to an early recovery."

Hobert nodded: "Okay, let's end this meeting here, thank you for your hard work."

Everyone stood up, said goodbye and left. Hobert closed the door of the meeting room, opened his personal brain, and the three-dimensional projection of Jin Zhe appeared beside him.

Your Excellency the President is sitting in the office of "Iron Wing". Behind him is a high-precision map of the star field. He said with a sullen face, "The latest report from NTU has been sent to you. I will give you 3 minutes. We will talk after reading it."

NTU is "Navy Tactical Unit", which is the abbreviation of "Navy Mobile Unit". At the beginning of its establishment, it belonged to the Navy. Later, the naval power expanded to the interstellar. Thirteen years ago, when the old president came to power, NTU officially separated from the Yuanhang Army and came under the direct control of the president. Since then, it has gradually become a complex military system integrating internal investigation, anti-espionage, anti-terrorism and other functions. The blood-sealed sword closely followed the top leader of the Federation.

It is also considered the cradle of federal presidents because both the previous and current presidents have served in NTU.

Three minutes later, Hobert returned to the call: "There is no doubt that the 'Freedom Guides' organization has been real for 3 years, but whether the St. Martin Research Center is related to it is still open to debate."

Jin Zhe said: "If it is only for a skin disease vaccine, the mercenary group cannot directly attack a medium-sized civilian port. The St. Maarten Research Center must be hiding something. NTU noticed them ten years ago, and concluded that The conclusion is definitely not groundless."

"Mu is just a visiting scientist. I think this matter will put pressure on Siyana." Hobert said, "This woman is not easy to deal with. She has a high reputation. Students and patients are spread across all levels of the Federation, even in Congress. Everyone has her supporters. She has proposed to Congress for 20 consecutive years to repeal the Guide Protection Act. It is very difficult to put pressure on her."

"I'll figure it out, and we can think about it from another direction." Jin Zhe said with a serious expression, "The 800 casualties have never been so vicious in Capital Planet in more than a hundred years." Incident, this is simply an enemy of the federal government, what kind of background can plan such a large terrorist attack?"

Hobert frowned and remained silent, before saying in a low voice, "Yes, the mercenary group and the hackers are just the tip of the iceberg. I think we should sort out all the opposing forces in the galaxy. From the perspective of the currently public terrorist organizations , There are not many who can make such a big deal.”

"You can let go of your thinking a little more." Jin Zhe said darkly, "Not only the opposition forces, but also the internal opposition, as well as our ambitious subordinates..."

"You mean, the opposition party and the Expeditionary Army?" Hobert had a headache, rubbing his temples with his thumbs, "Well, things are getting more and more complicated."

"So there are a few things that must be clarified, no matter how much the price is." Jin Zhe said, "The purpose of the potion and the real buyer, the contact person of the mercenary, the location of the hacker. And the St. Martin Research Center privately of illegal transactions..."

"Everything else is easy to handle, except for the St. Martin Research Center. We cannot force a well-known non-profit peace organization to bow to the government. We are a democratic federation, and Jin Zhe, freedom, democracy and human rights are the cornerstones of our regime." Huo Burt cautioned, "It's not like the military."

"Yes, freedom, democracy, and human rights. I am the president. I must defend the freedom, democracy, and human rights of citizens." Jin Zhe rolled his eyes. "So for this reason, I must make some people very unfree and undemocratic. Very inhumane!"

Hobert also began to roll his eyes: "Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words. If you hear these words, you will never be re-elected."

"If people know that I said this, you can kill yourself."

Hobert sighed: "Jin Zhe, our government has been weak for more than [-] years, and you have only come to power not long ago, so it is not appropriate to be too tough."

"I'll be careful, but I can't tolerate some people riding on the government's head and ignoring the personal safety of citizens! There are also those damn peace organizations, such as the St. Martin Research Center, who are all afraid of chaos !" Jin Zhe knocked on the table, paused, and smiled, "And I really don't want to see that bastard Jin Xuan performing his fucking performance art at the gate of my mansion again, mocking my weakness."

"He's retired." Hobert also smiled, "He's been like a different person in the past six months. He's a teacher or something. It's too scary. I still can't get used to him wearing normal clothes. Okay. horrible!"

"Well, I often blow my hairs too." Jin Zhe said, "By the way, where is he? Why didn't he come to the meeting?"

"His little boyfriend has been in a coma for several hours, and he has been guarding in front of the hospital bed."

"Does he still see me as a big brother, and does he have priorities?" Jin Zhe said angrily, "He's not a doctor, so what can he do there?"

"This is love, Jin Zhe, you don't understand."

"Damn it, your wife didn't see you guarding her when she gave birth. Is he the only lover?"

"...If it weren't for you, how could I not be able to catch up with the birth of my son? You old rascal!" Speaking of this, the veins on Hobert's forehead burst, "I have been scolded by my wife for more than ten years because of this, my husband Gang will die in the hands of you, a damn old bachelor!"

"You have a woolen husband! Your husband has been eaten by dogs since you squatted in the girls' dormitory and played the guitar all night!"

"...One day you will be punished, you ruthless, shameless and unreasonable old bachelor!" Hobert said, "I won't tell you anymore, I have to go and see Jin Xuan and his little boyfriend."

"Keep your eyes open and take a good look." Jin Zhe reminded, "I think Jin Xuan might know something, otherwise he wouldn't kill six mercenaries at once. He is not such a reckless person. His behavior is not like It is to save people, but it seems to be silenced."

"You doubt even your own brother, I feel really sad for you." Hobert thumbed down and made a "contempt" gesture, "Although I think you are right."

"Hey, you've always been my answer, stop trying to hide your lack of opinion."

"Can I swear?"

"Deduct your bonus, deduct your election sponsorship." Jin Zhe directly exited the call, "And I won't wait to hear it, goodbye."

Hobert has become accustomed to the shamelessness of the President. After arguing for a long time, his blood pressure is still very normal. On the contrary, he feels a little more relaxed than when he just finished the meeting. He shut down his personal brain and walked to the temporary medical center in Terminal [-]. .

In a single ward surrounded by sound-proof materials, Jin Xuan sat in front of the bed and watched Wu Chenghe who was unconscious. The injury on his leg was not serious, no nerves or blood vessels were injured, and it would take a while for him to recover. But his thinking trauma was very serious. Even after using Mu's special medicine, his thinking cloud was still chaotic.

There was a symbolic knock on the door, and before Jin Xuan could answer, Mu walked in.Seeing a certain annoying supernatural being and his annoying big lion sitting neatly, Mu's expression brightened a little, and he said, "You can rest for an hour or two, he won't wake up for now."

"I'm not tired." Jin Xuan let go of the seat at the head of the bed, "He doesn't seem to be getting better."

"When he is an adult, his recovery will be very slow." Mu said, "But the Icaru Mirage Guide has a very good self-healing ability. Trauma can stimulate their brain development and make them stronger. As long as he can bear After passing this level, the consciousness will be greatly improved after adulthood."

Jin Xuan recalled the time when he was killed on the asteroid, and Wu Chenghe seemed to have mentioned that he felt stronger after the trauma of his thinking healed, and it really wasn't his illusion.

"Can he handle it?" Even so, Jin Xuan was still a little worried.

Mu Zou glanced at him: "Aren't I standing here?"

Jin Xuan is so big and fearless, but for some reason, he has a natural awe of Mu, and said embarrassingly: "I just care."

Mu took out a transparent medicine from his medical bag, put it on the injection gun and pushed it into Wu Chenghe's jugular vein, saying: "Inject every four hours, he should wake up after six times, don't worry." After a pause , suddenly asked: "How did you find him?"

Jin Xuan thought for a while, and said, "I happened to be nearby when he had menarche, and he and I are 100% compatible."

Mu looked at him in surprise: "You didn't mark him?"

"I'm not a beast." Jin Xuan said seriously, "I'm a human being, and I can control myself."

Mu immediately admired Jin Xuan's character. A barbary lion with supernatural powers, who can control himself not to estrus when a 100% compatible guide has menarche, is either genetically mutated or a true lover.

His Quantum Beast is actually not a Barbary Lion, but a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

"Honestly, did you stay at Aston University to guard him?" Mu asked, "I heard that you were going to join the army, and your tutor seems to want to recommend you to NTU, which happens to be your brother's territory .”

"Yes." Jin Xuan felt that it was necessary to swipe his favorability in front of his old man, "He was sent to Aston University as Wei Peisheng, and it was also the result of our joint efforts."

"So that's the case, no wonder..." Mu Shuang raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have a much better impression of him, and even a faint, almost invisible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I guess Commander Hannibal must be very annoyed by this." ?”

"... a bit." Jin Xuan didn't know why he asked this question, but he still nodded.

"I kind of understand why he is so toward you." Mu looked thoughtfully at Wu Chenghe, then at him, and said, "But it's still hard for me to accept."

Inexplicably, Jin Xuan felt that the person standing in front of him was not Wu Chenghe's dean, but his mother-in-law.

By the way, what can't he accept when we fall in love?Jin Xuan couldn't help thinking of Jin Zhe again. Sure enough, 50-year-old bachelors are existences with twisted brains.

The door was knocked again, and it was Mr. Hobert who came in this time. He saw Mu inside, and bowed gracefully: "Hello, Dean, thank you for your timely rescue, which made Mr. Wu escape safely, President Grateful."

Mu's eyes narrowed: "He is my student, this is what I should do." He glanced at Jin Xuan questioningly.Jin Xuan explained: "Wu Chenghe once saved my life in Gabriel, my brother is very grateful and... likes him."

"I've heard about that incident." Mu's expression was still a little upset. Judging from Hobert's tone, the president's concern for Wu Chenghe was probably not just because he saved Jin Xuan, but...Damn it!He has a boyfriend, and I only now know about it!

"It's really unfortunate to encounter such a thing." Hobert walked to the bed and looked at Wu Chenghe, who was unconscious, with a distressed expression on his face, "This child is just too kind. Saved Brother Baron and Miss Lancer. Mr. Minister of Defense and General Lancer are very grateful to him, and they were supposed to come to visit, but were stopped by the President, so that he can recuperate well."

Mu didn't have any affection for anyone involved in the military or politics, and said coldly, "He doesn't need to thank him, as long as the Minister of Defense and General Lancer take good care of his children."

"Oh." Hobert found that he cared about Wu Chenghe completely more than a dean cares about students. He couldn't help being a little surprised, "Mr. Dean cares about student Xiao Wu very much."

"Blessed Brother Barron and Miss Lancer."

Hobert recalled the complaint incident and the dinner specially arranged by the President for Wu Chenghe and the Minister of Defense. He felt relieved and said, "Then I won't bother you. When Mr. Wu is transferred to the ground hospital, Mr. President will visit him in person."

No one dared to refute the president's face, Mu could only acquiesce.
