Chapter 319 Assassination

As the troublemaker pressed the remote control, the air around him seemed to freeze instantly and fell into a suffocating silence. No matter whether it was the students who were on protection duty, the guards who rushed over, or the troublemakers, everyone seemed to be under a spell, staring at this crazy man with explosives tied all over his body without blinking.

One second, two seconds...a full ten seconds passed, and the expected explosion did not occur. On the contrary, the sound of the troublemaker swallowing due to nervousness seemed particularly clear and harsh in the dead silence.

"Impossible!" The troublemaker opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. He pressed the remote control in his hand frantically, but the explosives were as silent as death, with no reaction at all.

At this moment, Lan Ximeng acted quickly. She pinned the troublemaker to the ground with lightning speed, snatched the remote control and crushed it with force.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The troublemaker was still immersed in the shock and anger of failure. He kept shouting loudly and didn't want to believe that he would fail because of the failure of the remote control.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, an object as small as a silver needle, while everyone's attention was focused on the troublemaker, shot silently into the eyes of the controlled troublemaker like a ray of cold light. The man's body stiffened instantly, his originally crazy eyes dimmed instantly, and his breathing stopped abruptly.

"Who is it!" The guards reacted and rushed forward immediately, quickly surrounding a group of students and the remaining troublemakers. They looked around vigilantly, trying to find the mysterious killer hiding in the dark.

Seeing this, Lan Ximeng immediately turned on the light computer on her wrist and quickly connected to the nearby monitoring system. However, the surveillance footage only captured a fleeting black shadow, which was so fast that people had no time to see its appearance clearly.

"The man ran away." Lan Ximeng looked at the direction of the attack, revealing a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, and then decisively said to the other students: "Let's chase him!"

A group of students quickly followed Lan Ximeng's footsteps and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared, leaving behind only a chaotic scene.

"These students are truly the future pillars of the country," a guard said with emotion.

"Hey, why is that person's body gone?" Another guard came to his senses and turned around, only to find that the body of the troublemaker who was originally lying on the ground had disappeared, leaving only a human-shaped trace left there.

"Maybe those students used the space equipment to take the person away." A guard guessed. In their opinion, some of these students might have wealthy families, so it was not surprising for them to have space equipment. It was a bit of a waste to use it to hold a corpse.

Lan Ximeng and her group chased all the way but could not find any trace of the mysterious assassin. In desperation, they had to give up the pursuit.

"Let's continue with the mission." Lan Ximeng frowned, looking at the empty streets, feeling unwilling, but with a mission to accomplish, she could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Lan Ximeng and her group re-engaged in the task of protecting the masses. Wherever they went, they would encounter one or two troublemakers who suddenly rose up in resistance. Moreover, the targets of these rebels' attacks were surprisingly the same - Alice.

"Alice, why don't you hide first?" A classmate said to Alice worriedly, looking at the body of another troublemaker who died in the same way on the ground.

Alice shook her head firmly, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes: "No, I want to see what these people's purpose is."

She knew in her heart that the purpose of these people was obvious. They just wanted the children of Robert's family to die in the jurisdiction of the peace faction because of the virus.

As for whether the neutral faction will attack the peace faction because of this, this is not within the consideration of those behind the scenes. What they really care about is the reaction of the masses. Once the matter becomes a big deal, some of the people who support the peace faction will inevitably turn against them and join the war faction who also oppose the use of the virus. This is the result they want.

Once again, Lan Ximeng and others successfully controlled the rebels, but an accident happened again and the rebels were assassinated in secret.

"These people are going too far!" When the students saw this scene, the anger in their hearts burned like a raging fire. After a little thought, they realized who was the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

During the short break, the students posted details of the bizarre events they encountered today on the Internet. Every post is filled with deep dissatisfaction and condemnation of the war faction.

Soon, this matter spread rapidly on the Internet as if it had wings, and its popularity soared all the way to the top of the federal hot search list. Its popularity was even comparable to the previous discussion on whether it was correct for General Robert to use the virus. A series of popular posts related to this flooded the Internet:

The Attack on Robert's Family: The Complex Game between the Peacemakers, the Warmakers and the Neutrality Factions

"The Attack on Robert's Family: An In-depth Analysis of Faction Interests"

"The neutral Robert family members were attacked. Who is behind the secret plan, the peace faction or the war faction?" 》

"The Robert family members suffered in the enemy camp, the helplessness and dilemma of the neutral faction"

"The Robert family members were attacked, and the neutral faction's difficult choice and helplessness"

Everyone knew that a good show was about to begin.

However, not long after these hot topics dominated the list, they were removed from the list at the speed of light, like a flash in the pan. Just when netizens were questioning which party was behind the incident, a piece of bombshell news dropped like a bomb, causing another storm on the Internet.

General Robert, who was organizing the battlefield at the front line, was mysteriously poisoned. At the same time, his niece Alice, who was on a mission in the Kaiyang Galaxy, was also assassinated and was in critical condition. What's even more bizarre is that a mysterious toxin was detected in Alice's body. Neither the students present nor the doctors at the most authoritative local hospital were able to do anything about it and could not find a way to detoxify it.

For a moment, the Internet was once again in an uproar.

"Could this be something the Robert family staged themselves? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Didn't you read what was said online? Even the most prestigious hospital in Kaiyang Star can't cure this poison. Who would joke about the pillar of their family?"

"Could it be that this uncle and nephew were poisoned by the same poison?"

"Maybe. I think the person behind this will definitely use the antidote to threaten the Robert family and force them to hand over the virus that specifically targets orcs and the orc king."

"I think it was done by the pro-war faction. My niece got into trouble in the pro-peace faction's territory, and the general himself was poisoned. Aren't they the biggest beneficiaries?"

"That's right. Recently, many pro-war people around me have urged me to vote, saying that they want to bring down the Robert family and pull them down from their core political position."

"Me too. I'm actually a peace advocate. Because of this, I dare not say anything for fear of being attacked!"

"I am a neutral party. Before I even said anything, my colleagues who advocate war and peace have already started competing against each other in secret."

"The above poster, why not just say that the pro-war and pro-peace factions are targeting the neutral faction? Why use abbreviations and make everyone guess?"

People from across the federation were drawn into this heated discussion.
