Chapter 275 First Floor
Mr. Cat glanced at Xiaozhen.
At that moment, Xiao Zhen had the illusion that Mr. Cat was smiling at him. In Xiao Zhen's eyes, the cat was sitting in the middle of the fortress command room, exuding a confidence that he was about to blow the other party into pieces. Although affected by the residual consciousness of the host, a cute cat squatting on the command platform with a full posture only gave him a wrong feeling of "ah, it's too cute", but he knew that Mr. Cat was the highest commander here, and at this moment, the lives of at least hundreds of crew members on the other ship depended on the cat's thoughts.
"Do we need to open fire?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"If they take the initiative to attack us," Mr. Cat replied. There was restraint in its tone, but Xiao Zhen still smelled its desire to treat the other party's brother ship, which was also the Eye of Supervision but was a hostile faction, as a tumor and directly wiped it out from the universe. He suspected that if Yan An was not still on the other party's ship, Mr. Cat would have bombed the other party into slag.
When Xiao Zhen thought of Yan An who was still on the other ship, he could feel the anxiety and worry in the remaining consciousness of his host. His host's father, Yan An, Xiao Zhen had unconsciously regarded that man as his own father. But now he was captured and on that ship, his life or death was unknown.
Mr. Cat noticed Xiao Zhen's somewhat anxious consciousness and said, "You don't have to worry. Yan An's life is not in danger for the time being."
"For now." Xiao Zhen said this word, emphasizing it on purpose.
"Um."
"Yan An has the contraband inside of him." Xiao Zhen decided to get straight to the point. "How are they going to get it out?"
"There are many ways," Mr. Cat said. "Considering safety, the most likely method is to directly decompose your father and extract the contraband from him."
"Safety?" True repeated sarcastically.
"Well, to extract it from the human body safely."
"Well, it sounds like Yan An is going to be gone."
"You don't have to worry."
"Are you betting on the possibility that the other party will not decompose Yan An and extract him?" Xiao Zhen stared at Mr. Cat, "What if they decompose Yan An and the others now?"
"That's impossible." Mr. Cat replied, "Contraband 241 is extremely special and must be extracted with special large-scale equipment. The Tianlai in front of us is not equipped with such a separator."
Xiao Zhen stroked his chin and said, "That is to say, they will return to their base for decomposition and extraction."
"Yes, the destination of the Tianlai will be the Thunder Fortress of Takmicia. There, they will decompose your father and your principal." Mr. Cat waved his paw, "And I want to remind you that the Tianlai is now within the range of our turrets. As long as I give the order, the enemy's ship will turn into dust among the stars."
"The dust you mentioned also includes Yan An and Principal Wu." Xiao Zhen reminded it with a stern face.
"Based on my understanding of the subordinates in our brother organizations, they don't have the noble awareness of dying together with the spoils," said Mr. Cat. "Then, let's have a relaxed and pleasant negotiation." It gave Xiao Zhen a look, and Xiao Zhen left the command room silently.
"Relax." Captain Madara made a strange sound, "Happy."
Mr. Cat ignored it. It sent out a warning communication again.
As always, there was no response from the Teana.
Then it was repeated five times.
The communicator inquired: "The Tianlai is silent, should we send another communication?"
Mr. Cat said, "Tell them that if they remain silent, the Mourner will regard the Tianlai as an enemy and impose sanctions directly. Evelyn, prepare to fire the main guns."
The communication was sent again. This time, the Tianlai finally made a move. The reply was cold and mocking, "I thought the respectable brother organization came to give us a farewell gift. But obviously, you have pointed your guns at us. Do I need to remind you? We belong to the Eye of Supervision, a group fighting for the same noble purpose. But now you want to ignite the war between brothers with your own hands."
"You invaded our regulatory area and illegally kidnapped two innocent Homo sapiens in my jurisdiction. It was you, the Tianlai, who provoked the incident, not us."
"We detained two dangerous goods carriers in accordance with normal law enforcement procedures. According to the regulations of the Eye of Oversight, you have no right to interfere with our law enforcement procedures. If you have any questions, you should file a complaint with the Inner Ring Council of the Eye of Oversight, instead of putting the main gun on our heads now!"
"In an emergency, we must take the necessary measures."
"Haha." The voice of the other commander named Page became louder and louder. If his voice was originally cold and full of sarcasm, now it was more full of anger. "To put it bluntly, you are just a bunch of bastards who will do anything to achieve your goal!"
"Hand him over. " Mr. Cat said calmly.
"Don't you have any sense of honor? We work in the same great organization and serve the same purpose. Is this how you treat your brothers and comrades? Do you want to fire at your brothers? Come on, fire! Fire! The 879 crew members on board are waiting for your sanctions. Fire! "
"Hand him over." Mr. Cat repeated unmoved.
"Dream on! I don't care who is behind you. Page of Thunder Fortress is definitely not a coward. Listen carefully, just fire! You are stepping on the lives of us...what happened!!!" Page's indignant voice was suddenly interrupted, and screams and alarms were heard one after another on the other end of the communication.
Mr. Cat glanced calmly at the Tianlai floating in the deep blue universe.
Captain Madara made another strange noise: "Relax and enjoyable."
…
…
When Xiao Zhen sneaked into the Tianlai, Ma Jingshi was following behind him.
At this time, the alarms on the Tianlai continued to sound. The shadows cast by the lights on both sides of the corridor shook as they walked. Just now, they took a small invisible landing craft to quietly approach the Tianlai and successfully sneaked into it. After knocking down a crew member and obtaining the access system key of the ship, Xiao Zhen hacked into the system and quickly found the place where they were holding Yan An and Principal Wu.
Ma Jingshi made a very exaggerated move and created a very harsh noise on the deck. After this loud bang, the entire Tianlai was reverberating with alarms.
"You made quite a noise." Xiao Zhen said.
"The bigger the better." Ma Jingshi answered. He rushed forward with a war cry that shook the clouds. At this time, he was no longer the listless office worker, but a wild warrior who broke free from his restraints. Bright energy light jumped and flashed on his battle axe. He rushed into the enemy group rushing towards him like a roaring tiger. Gunfire and energy arcs chased and exploded in the corridor. Ma Jingshi fought recklessly among the enemy group. His precise and powerful attacks made his battle axe seem to have some kind of wild vitality. Amid the wailing of the enemy group, more reinforcements rushed towards him.
The deck under Xiao Zhen's feet was shaking. The ship map after the hacking system was projected on his retina, and the red light showed the location of Yan An and Principal Wu. Ma Jingshi's excellent cooperation had absorbed most of the firepower. Next, he only needed to rush to that cabin quickly to rescue them.
Even so, there were indeed two soldiers guarding the door with guns as he expected. Xiao Zhen swung the force field sword. The blade hissed, and under the high-speed movement, the two soldiers were knocked to the ground before they could react .
This only took a moment. Unlike Ma Jingshi's wildness, Xiaozhen's attacks were always elegant and fast, and were carried out with precise restraint.
He kicked the two unconscious crew members away and hacked the access control system next to the door with a sword. As the heavy airtight door creaked up, the two humans looked out in surprise. Yan An shouted, "Xiao Zhen?" Principal Wu also had a shocked expression on his face.
Xiao Zhen stared at Principal Wu's head for a few seconds. After a moment of silence, he quickly withdrew his thoughts. He picked up the communicator and whispered, "We have contacted the target, retreat."
Five minutes later, a small invisible landing craft rushed into the universe silently.
…
…
Ten minutes later, the hatch of the Mourner opened.
Xiao Zhen appeared at the door with Yan An and Principal Wu.
Captain Madara was the first to rush out to greet them, "Looks like it went well."
Xiao Zhen nodded.
Yan An and Principal Wu stood on the deck in shock, apparently not yet recovered from the shock.
Mr. Cat came over.
Xiao Zhen said, "I'm not saying anything, but these two fakes look more real than your slime mold."
Yan An was surprised and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Xiao Zhen didn't even turn his head: "Shut up, even though you fooled me at first, I am now sure that you are fake."
Mr. Cat said: "These two fakes are a kind of insect in Chilantan, called Bocachi. As long as they absorb the DNA of the target object, they can completely transform into the target object in a short period of time, and can even copy the target's memory fragments. In a sense, this kind of simulated real person cannot be distinguished from the real one in a short period of time."
“Then why do you still use slime mold?”
"Although they are true replicas, their simulation performance is not very stable. They can easily reveal their original form when subjected to large emotional fluctuations, and their numbers are very small. Such insects are often simulated as target objects for prey. Because of this characteristic, they have been hunted on a large scale, and now their remaining numbers are extremely rare. I know that there is a small Pokachi reserve in the original place of the Achid people, and I didn't expect that the Tianlai ship actually carried them." Mr. Cat wagged his tail and circled around the two fakes.
"Well. Now we should pretend to retreat." Xiao Zhen said.
"Yes. We're going to make them think we caught the real deal," Mr. Cat announced calmly. "Now let's start the next step of the plan."
Commander Page's Diary
X. X/XYXXX
[Just as I expected, I deliberately put on an attitude of pride in the communication and quarreled with the Memorialist. Sure enough, at the same time they secretly sent people to infiltrate my ship.]
[Hehe, do these shady Chajika rats think I can be tricked so easily? ]
[Even if I didn't use my slightly clever brain, I knew they would definitely not bombard the Tianlai, but would use a roundabout tactic to sneak onto the ship and take the people back. However, I had already made preparations. I ordered two Pokatch to transform into the appearance of the two humans and place them in a cabin. Except for me, all the crew members on the ship also thought that the two humans were there.]
[So they took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the cabin and stole the two Pokaki I had placed there.]
[After the ship finally returned to normal, my loyal subordinate Lu Lun reported to me that the Memorialist had left.]
[Good, it looks like they have stolen the target.]
[I calmed down and announced: "Return to Thunder Fortress immediately!"]
…
…
When I arrived at Tormon, the outpost of Thunder Fortress, I didn't expect that Inspector General Mars would come to greet me personally.
Inspector Mars was a stern Gothic man, with dark blue skin that was almost black, scars all over his face, and a look that was composed of two concepts: seriousness and nobility. When he saw me, the words he said were as condescending as his appearance: "Peggy, you're back too late."
"What have I done to deserve you to come and greet me?" I still have to give my boss the face I deserve.
"Contraband 241." This word came out of Inspector General Mars' mouth, "I hope you still remember your mission." His tone was threatening to dismiss me immediately and feed me to the Zerg.
I was naturally not afraid at all.
"I completed the mission perfectly." I then reported my findings in Lola to Inspector General Mars, who listened in silence. When he learned that I was being chased by mourners, he frowned and asked, "So you lost the person?"
"Of course not, they are just fake backups." I waved my hand, and my men escorted the two Homo sapiens out. Then the guards around Mars rushed forward and took the two terrified Homo sapiens away.
Inspector General Mars's expression softened a little, and he said, "You didn't disappoint me."
You see, after his subordinates completed the mission despite the risk of being bombarded into space dust by the fortress, this noble man only said, "You didn't disappoint me." Fortunately, I have seen through the secular bureaucracy very thoroughly, so I am not happy or worried about this compliment.
…
…
After the supplies were completed, I returned to the Tianlai.
At this time, the communicator forwarded me a message with a strange expression. It was from Inspector General Mars, whom I had just met.
Inspector General Mars said in the video: "Peggy, you're back too late."
I:"……"
Then Inspector General Mars said, "Retrieve contraband 241. I hope you still remember your mission."
