The Emperor’s Angel of Death

　　The meeting was held in the fortress hall of the Ministry of Justice. It also serves as a courtroom when necessary, but today it is used as a welcome room.

　　 A huge black hardwood round table is placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by a circle of marshals in black carapace, their faces are hidden under the helmets, as if they will never reveal their true faces.

The arbitrator of the local legal department stood behind the table without a helmet. He was a tough veteran like leather. At this time, he was only dressed in a simple black uniform to set off the silver-plated artificial prostheses and other artificial limbs implanted on his body. Organs, these devices injected amazing speed and strength into his body.

　　 Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

　　 Soshyang led a group of soldiers into the hall with their heads high, their actions almost caused a whirlwind in the hall.

　　 Finally, he stopped at the table, took off his helmet and placed it on the table, revealing the broad, powerful, frowning cheek.

　　 "To make a long story short, I think everyone should know our identity."

　　 Soshyang’s opening remarks were very capable, and the arbitrator nodded and responded:

　　 "Yes, dear Astral Knights, Captain Soshyan."

　　 "I have read your report, but there are still many details to be discussed."

　　 "We also need to report on many new situations."

　　 "Then you talk first."

　　 The arbitrator recounted to Soshyan what happened after they left the underground mining area.

　　 It turned out that after they left the mining area, they encountered several waves of obstruction. The enemy seemed to know their course of action very well and was always able to set up ambushes at key locations.

　　 But the ambush is no longer an underground purebred, but a hybrid that is closer to a human form. They pretend to be local to help the team of the Legal Department carry out a sneak attack.

　　 Along the way, the team lost several people in succession. If the people staying in the fortress had noticed that their actions were too long and sent to respond, they might not be able to come back.

After 　　, a secret investigation into the Safinius administration agency was launched.

　　Although the Alien's camouflage is particularly good, there are still some clues, and soon an amazing fact surfaced.

The gene stealers on Safinius apparently found that the Ministry of the Interior was an excellent hiding place. As one of the largest and most rigid organizations in the empire, they could use the authority of the Ministry of Interior to escape less stringent scrutiny. .

　　 As a result, the verification of the Ministry of the Interior was not carried out until the district legal director himself broke through the various red tapes and signed a formal authorization order.

　　 But no one knows how long the gene stealers have been rooted there.

　　 The Legal Department only found some suspicious persons who had disappeared before the investigation, and the rest of them had not found any results without exception.

Safinius is a rich planet with several large-scale nests, but these have nothing to do with poor miners. On the contrary, the guilds just desperately squeezed them, even because there was no interference from the Ministry of the Interior. And become unscrupulous.

　　 So, in addition to working to death in the mining area, crime has become one of the very few viable means of earning a livelihood in the local area.

　　 Due to the interference of the Mechanics, the Ministry of Justice was unable to dispatch too many manpower, nor did it have sufficient resources to maintain the entire planet, and there was no leadership in the people to restore order.

　　 It is not difficult to imagine what kind of corruption has grown in the slums after the gene stealers came to Safinius and infiltrated the local Ministry of Interior.

　　 Even the source of the corruption may be in the local guild masters. This possibility is so terrible but so realistic.

　　Although the activities of the gene stealer sect are very secretive, through the unremitting efforts of law enforcement officers, all the traced information is connected to construct a vivid picture.

　　 For example, the few state churches on Safinius were organized and looted one by one in the past 50 years, and all the holy objects were stolen.

　　 Twenty years ago, a smuggling convoy was intercepted and a batch of stolen holy artifacts were seized.

　　 At the time, it seemed that this was at best the violent criminal loot of the smugglers, but now it seems that the aliens are obviously using violent activities as a cover to seize these holy artifacts in a planned way.

　　 More importantly, these details highlight the conspiracy-they are trying to infiltrate the local religion.

　　 In fact, for nearly a hundred years, there have been murders and kidnappings everywhere in the mining area, and gene stealers have carried out their terrible plans unscrupulously.

　　 They randomly select innocent people to start, let them evaporate directly from the world, or become the breeders of monsters.

　　 And all this is almost never informed by the local guilds and the Ministry of Interior to the Ministry of Justice. Most of the time, they let the Ministry of Justice deal with such incidents as smuggling and miner riots, just like deliberately distracting the attention of the Ministry of Justice.

　　 Until the Ministry of Justice followed up the investigation and found possible alien corrosion in the Ministry of Interior building, they might have worked hard for decades for the return of their master, and compiled various lies to deceive the imperial law enforcement and judicial agencies.

　　 Although so many investigations have been conducted, it is still the tip of the iceberg.

　　 Many things done by the gene stealers on Safinius represent a slow and difficult to interpret plan.

　　 For others, these clues are clueless, but for the arbitrator, these facts are unequivocal.

　　 But as the investigation progressed, small riots began to occur in both the mining area and the nest. The Ministry of Justice could only continue to rush between the various riots, so the progress of the investigation was immediately slowed down.

　　 It is not that the arbitrator did not apply for the local defense forces to join the counterinsurgency ~www.readwn.com~ But it is strange to say that as soon as the local defense forces joined the suppression operation, the riots escalated.

After questioning the arrested riot leaders, the arbitrator found that they were all normal locals, many of whom were leaders of underground miners’ organizations. The reason for their riots was that there were rumors that monsters appeared underground, and the empire planned to remove them. The mine was blown up and everyone was buried under the mine.

　　 The emergence of local defense forces further proved the authenticity of this rumors, so the miners began a collective strike and refused to enter the mine, which resulted in numerous riots.

　　 Although this is indeed the style of the empire, the arbitrator is keenly aware that this rumor appeared very coincidentally.

　　 After realizing that the local defense forces were not reliable enough, he sent out an application for help.

　　 And in the end, this application came to the hands of the Ascetics Team, and then to the Astral Knights.

　　 After listening to the arbitrator's narration, Soshyang nodded.

　　 "Your work is fruitful, and a huge conspiracy is being revealed, but I still have a problem."

　　 Soshyang took out the report, still on the table.

　　 "How did you get out of the **** below alive."

　　 The arbitrator froze for a moment, then sighed, put his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice:

　　 "To be honest, it is difficult for me to answer this question, because it is too...unbelievable, I did not include it in the report."

　　 "What an incredible thing we have all seen, you can tell it."

　　 "It's a group of people, a group of heretics who believe in the so-called lord of the Crow. They fought off the gene thieves... No, I don't think so. They can't fight against the gene thieves. I feel like something else."
