Chapter 114: The Silence Before Darkness The kneeling insect dared not breathe, and lowered his head...
The kneeling insect didn't dare to breathe, lowered his head and waited for orders.
Seeing that he was obedient, Uban didn't make things difficult for him and talked about other things: "Have you found Ryan and that half-dead guy?"
"No, not yet." Chong said with trembling lips.
"Waste!" Uban slapped the chair with his palm, breaking it into pieces. The impact of his mental force directly knocked the kneeling bug against the wall, and he fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Chief... Chief, I am incompetent." Even though it was beaten half to death, the insect still forced itself to get up and admit its mistake.
Uban looked at the other's blood staining the floor and wanted to kill him very much, but too many insects had died recently. If he killed a few more, he would have no more insects to use.
Wuban had no choice but to suppress his irritation and let him go for now. It wouldn't be too late to kill him once things calmed down. "Go ahead and investigate! I don't believe you can turn the entire underground black market upside down and still not find any trace of them!"
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The insect quickly got up, staggered, opened the door and walked out.
Looking at the insect shadow walking out, Uban's red eyes became even redder, and his face became ferocious. He raised his hand to take something to vent his anger, but found that there was nothing left in the room that could be destroyed. Uban punched the wall directly.
Uban was so angry that he didn't know what had gone wrong. Everything was going as expected. A sickly man was taking care of a mentally retarded loser, and it would only take a few days to deal with it. But he didn't expect something unexpected to happen.
Uban himself could betray the organization and he didn't think it was a big deal, but he hated the bugs who betrayed him the most.
He was just a supervisor he liked, so he hired him to give him face. But he didn't expect that the bug was so ambitious that he actually went behind his back to join Adamson, the sick paraplegic!
Uban couldn't stand it, and what made him even more disgusted was that the other party coveted his insect! He asked Adamson to give Lin Xi to him afterwards!
The actions of many members of the organization were under his surveillance. Wu Ban knew that the supervisor had some quirks, but he didn't expect that he would set his sights on Lin Xi. Maybe he had seen something he shouldn't have seen by monitoring him day and night.
Wuban's mood was in turmoil. He hadn't even touched his bugs yet, and there were already other bugs trying to get there first!
Uban felt that he couldn't wait any longer and had to take over the organization as soon as possible, kill Muas as soon as possible, and get Lin Xi into his hands.
However, Urban believed that he had complete control over the organization, but he could not find any trace of Ryan, and he had no idea where he had hidden Adamson.
Uban was extremely angry. He was Adamson's good brother who had suffered together, but the other party wanted whatever he wanted from the picked-up bug, valued him very much, and even planned to hand the organization over to him.
Why!
Of course, Uban didn't want what belonged to him to fall into the hands of others, not even Adamson.
Urban still has some feelings for Adamson. They grew up together. They are not brothers, but they are better than brothers.
But since picking up Ryan, Adamson has changed and betrayed their brotherhood.
Since Adamson was the one who made the mistake first, he didn't need to hold back. He was only doing this to protect himself.
Veins bulged on Uban's forehead, as if he was enduring something, but soon he began to laugh, and his smile was a little crazy.
"These should all be mine! It's you, you forced me to do this. They deserve to die, and you deserve to die too!"
"Those who disobey must be punished and deserve to die. This is what you said and the rules you established. You can't blame me."
"Don't blame me for being ruthless. I can't do anything about it!"
Uban's smile hidden in the darkness was a little perverted, and with his blood-red eyes, it was even more bloodthirsty.
…
After learning that the predecessor of the Nameless Organization was the Pink Skull Pirates, Lin Xi and Muas changed their minds.
"Actually, my original intention was to join one side and use the opportunity to eliminate the other, because I always felt that what happened on Planet G was related to the nameless organization."
"But now I feel it's inappropriate. Since they are space pirates, they must be punished by law and sent to where they belong."
Muas nodded, very satisfied with the result: "Whatever you want to do, Lord Xiong, I will help you."
Lin Xi said: "It's not to help me, it's to uphold the justice of the law."
Don't forget that you are a royal family and you have to consider the billions of people.
Muas smiled softly and said, "Whatever the Lord says is what it is."
Lin Xi was helpless, but when talking about the Pink Skull Pirates, he also felt a little emotional: "The Pink Skull Pirates' reputation is still as great as it was decades ago. I didn't expect them to be alive."
Muas shook his head. "Not necessarily. That cosmic storm must have killed quite a few pirates. Military women are very strict and wouldn't report false information. Adamson was able to escape, and it's likely that the previous Adamson died in the storm."
"The previous Adamson?" Lin Xi was a little confused.
"Every leader of the Pink Skull Pirates is named Adamson, and later generations strictly abide by this rule and cannot violate or change it," Muas explained.
Lin Xi curled his lips and muttered, "The Star Pirates are so serious, is there a throne to inherit in the family?"
Muas's gaze subconsciously fell on Lin Xi.
Feeling the insect's gaze, Lin Xi looked up and met Muas's eyes. He blinked belatedly, realizing that there was indeed a bug that needed to inherit the throne.
Lin Xi coughed lightly and said, "There is no order without rules. Although this rule is a bit strange, it is indeed necessary to deter insects."
Mu Yashi paused for a moment before speaking, "That shouldn't be the case. The first leader of the Pink Skull seemed to be a fallen nobleman. He was unwilling to give up his noble glory, so he wanted his descendants to remember the family and Adamson."
Lin Xi took a sip of water and nearly vomited after hearing this. "What grudge does this leader have against his family? He's already a space pirate, yet he still wants his descendants to inherit the family's glory and tell the Empire they're descendants of Adamson. Is he afraid that his ancestor will jump out of his coffin and beat them to death?"
"Coffin lid?" Muas was puzzled.
Lin Xi explained: "It's similar to an urn."
The Zerg do not practice burial. After cremation, their bodies are scattered over mountains, rivers, or into the universe, returning to the embrace of the Zerg God.
Muas understood and said suddenly, "After analyzing it this way, perhaps the first leader was not reluctant to give up the family name, but really had a grudge against the family."
Lin Xi put down the cup and asked, "What happened to that nobleman?"
Muas opened his mouth, recalled carefully, and then said, "It seems to have declined."
"Look!" Lin Xi slapped his thigh and said, "I guess that leader is from a side branch, and was suppressed by the main branch and couldn't make a name for himself. Or maybe he was originally a main branch, but was plotted against by the bugs, and ended up being a space pirate."
"He really single-handedly ruined the entire family. He was cruel and ruthless." He is truly a role model for our generation.
Lin Xi just thought about the last sentence casually. Otherwise, if he said it out loud, Chong might accidentally misunderstand that he was biased towards the newspaper.
Muas also found it novel. She didn't expect that just chatting casually could bring up new gossip.
"Oh, right." Lin Xi finished chatting about gossip and then remembered the business. She asked, "How long have we been locked up here?"
Muas glanced at the light brain and said, "Three days."
"So long?" Lin Xi was a little surprised. "For such a long time, there was no movement outside? Why didn't the Legion send insects to rescue us?"
Lin Xi originally thought that the matter would be over soon, but unexpectedly, Adamson did not fight with Uban, and the two of them were also imprisoned by Uban. There were bugs guarding the door, and they were no longer secretly monitored.
As for meals, the kitchen doesn’t even cook meals, and only nutritional supplements are delivered every day.
It was too quiet, without even a sound of gunfire, which made the insects nervous. They suspected that this was the prelude to a war, but after waiting for three days, there was still no movement, and no insects attacked from outside.
Muas' heart skipped a beat. "In order to deal with internal affairs, they should prevent outside insects from entering. The passage outside is likely to be closed."
Lin Xi was also shocked: "Such a simple thing, how could we forget it?"
This is not the worst. What is worse is that the guide signs are likely to be cleared away, leaving the insects with no trace to escape.
The nameless organization has been entrenched on the planet for so many years, so it is still very adept at cleaning up its mess.
The two insects both thought of this possibility and looked at each other in confusion. Lin Xi took a breath and said, "Could it be that they are so wicked?"
It turns out that Urban can be even more unethical.
In the few years that Urban has been in control of the organization, he has already conquered most of the forces. Not only did he order his subordinates to close the passage, cutting off Adamson's possibility of seeking help from the outside world, he also cleared all traces on the ground.
After doing these things, he also sent his men to other planets to create confusion.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The backup plan that Adamson had kept has now become a shield for Urban.
There are situations on more than one planet. Some planets really have underground forces, and some are nests arranged by Adamson in advance.
There are also planets where pirates really live.
It’s just that those pirates are just stopping for a while. They will leave after doing business with Uban.
Lin Xi was a little upset: "The Fifth Legion can produce so many insects, so it shouldn't be so useless, right?"
Muas was also worried, but his concerns were different from Lin Xi's.
He was worried that if the Fifth Legion acted too radically, it would anger Urban, who was said to be becoming increasingly irritable.
Muas was also worried that the insects would discover their whereabouts. At this juncture, if their identities as military insects were exposed, they would easily die without a burial place.
He is a female soldier and can fight his way out, but a male leader cannot defeat four people with two fists, so he is no match for those star pirates.
If the male insect's identity was exposed, there would be no problem, but Muas thought of Uban and didn't want Linxi to face such a crazy female insect.
Once a female insect goes crazy and becomes bloodthirsty and manic, no insect will not be afraid of it, let alone a male insect.
Muas didn't want the male master to suffer, nor did he want to give Linxi to other insects.
