Chapter 84 I don’t need your approval, just listen to me
In the interstellar world, every person is born with a chip implanted in their brain that connects to an optical computer. The optical computer has a positioning function, which facilitates imperial management and population screening.
The optical computer will record the orcs' entire lives, including countless privacy details, big and small.
So each chip is encrypted with a special imprint.
Only the Royal Court, the Privy Council, and the Cabinet have the right to inspect, and each inspection requires joint authorization from these three parties.
No additional encryption required.
Of course there are exceptions.
That's Scarlett.
Shortly after she was born, her chip was replaced using special means.
If Scarlett had not awakened her beast body at the age of fifteen, she might have spent her whole life in the slums.
After she was found, Catherine ordered the Privy Council to activate the highest-level encryption system to protect her chip.
There are a total of thirty-six codes, and even the most powerful actuary in the empire would take a year to crack them.
Although the dark web actuary failed to crack Christine's computer, he told Scarlett an important piece of information.
The SS-level mental power is used to encrypt the optical computer.
The population of the Oranrosa Empire is 200 million, but there are only 2,000 orcs with SS-level mental power, which is extremely rare.
After reading the documents, Ashley was so shocked that he was speechless.
He looked at the documents, then at Scarlett, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "How, how could it be? How could Christine die? She was so outstanding, who would want to harm her?"
He looked at Scarlett and felt it was impossible.
He knew Scarlett's character: crazy, vicious, domineering, disdainful of falsehood, straightforward in everything she did, and didn't care about other people's feelings or opinions at all.
If she wanted to kill Christine, she would have done it long ago, without even using someone else's hand.
wrong.
Christine is not necessarily dead.
It’s just that the optical computer is encrypted and can’t prove anything.
Scarlett observed the trance and hesitation in Ashley's eyes and continued naturally, "I also want to know who killed her, and who went to so much trouble to encrypt her computer. I met her sister in the Lost Continent, and she kept saying that I killed her sister. If I hadn't used an alias, I'm afraid I would have been doomed."
Ashley frowned. "You went to the Lost Continent? You met her sister? How do you know it was her sister?"
Scarlett raised her eyebrows proudly. "They look 70% alike. Anyone with normal vision can tell the difference. If I hadn't been smart and didn't reveal my identity, you probably wouldn't have been able to see me."
Ashley was silent for a moment and complained in his heart: It’s best if I can’t see him.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Her sister said Christine is dead?"
"right."
Scarlett curled her lips, a little irritated. "Your Highness didn't kill her, why did she have to die? And it made Your Highness take the blame. How unlucky."
Scarlett stroked her chin, thinking carefully, "My identity was replaced because someone replaced my chip. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in the slums for fifteen years. Damn it! Has this person resurfaced and is deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"Your Highness must find that person and tear him into pieces!"
Scarlett swears, but Ashley remains calm. He raises his eyelids and looks at Scarlett's angry face.
No matter how stupid he was, he guessed what Scarlett was going to do.
He sighed silently and said, "So you caused a scene at the institute today and tied me up, just for Kristen?"
"certainly."
Scarlett said: "Your Highness wants to clear your name."
"Scarlett."
Ashley's gaze slowly turned cautious, "Why should I trust you?"
Scarlett said triumphantly, "You have to believe me."
"Why?"
"I am Scarlett, your Mistress. The Mistress gives orders, and the Beast Husband must obey unconditionally."
Ashley chuckled and sarcastically said, "Scarlett, I never acknowledged you as my dominatrix."
Scarlett said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't need your approval, you just need to listen to me obediently."
"Why?" Ashley asked these three words again.
Scarlett smiled and said confidently, "Christine's optical brain is encrypted with SS-level mental power. I am the only one who can investigate this matter. Don't you want to know who hurt such an outstanding woman? What this person wants to do with her optical brain? Is it good or bad? Will it cause harm to others?"
"She's been at the institute for three years. Her memory won't be erased. If someone were to uncover the institute's secrets, the consequences would be disastrous, wouldn't they?"
Orcs with SS-level psychic power have a high status no matter what field they are in.
It is definitely not easy to investigate.
Ashley admitted that these words were enough to move him.
The optical brain carries memories.
If someone takes Christine's chip and inherits her memory, the medicines developed under her will likely be used by others and become a potential danger.
He doesn't want this to happen.
The research institute is the result of everyone's hard work. Every research project is the result of everyone's painstaking efforts and experiments day and night. If it falls into the hands of outsiders.
Regardless of whether this person is good or bad, it is an insult to everyone's efforts.
Ashley took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Although he was reluctant to get involved with Scarlett, he was even more reluctant to see any accidents happen in the research institute.
It doesn't matter.
As long as he develops an advanced sedative, he can get rid of Scarlett. There is no rush now.
Ashley asked one last question: "Scarlett, why didn't you tell His Majesty about this?"
Scarlett shrugged. "There's no evidence. I found these documents on the dark web. Their origins are unknown. Your Majesty won't believe them."
"Also, although Christine is a female, she is a commoner. Her affairs are not the responsibility of the royal court, and His Majesty will not accept them."
Although this is an animal world where females are superior and males are inferior.
But females are also divided into different levels, and not every female can receive preferential treatment.
Ashley was silent again, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter. "Actually, if this matter is expanded to include the research institute, His Majesty might not ignore it."
Scarlett smiled, a dark light flashing in her eyes: "Expanding it is easy, but what if the murderer is a researcher? SS-level, the dean or vice-dean? Or those senior management personnel?"
"Impossible!" Ashley retorted harshly, "I know everyone at the Institute. Every one of them is loyal and devoted to the Empire. How could they do something so unconscionable?"
Ashley said coldly, "I will investigate Kristen's matter myself. If I find out that you are lying to me, I will report it to the Royal Court immediately, including everything you just said."
"Scarlett, you better not lie to me!"
Scarlett resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "You'd better not check."
