Chapter 206
"So what are they thinking? Why do they think I'm the murderer? Why do they write you, Marshal Aaron, as a bad-tempered guy?"
The silver-haired wolf cub was lying on the sofa with his ears erect, looking very ungraceful. After seeing the headlines of today's news, he turned around and asked the blond admiral beside him in confusion.
The young man, who had the same blond hair and blue eyes as the blond admiral sitting behind the desk, but whose eyes were lighter than the other's, shook his head helplessly as he looked at the hot search.
"Maybe it's because I look too fierce?" said the blond young man, scratching his head.
The blond professor who was sitting behind the desk and reading a student's paper was criticizing the student opposite him through the holographic screen, scolding the 1.9-meter-tall student until he choked up.
As for the school bus, both the blond professor and the students on the other side of the holographic screen turned their heads to look at the blond admiral sitting in the room.
Then the blond admiral, who looked at the puppy eyes with a pure face, fell silent.
"If you want to talk about fierce-looking people, I am the most fierce-looking one. These self-media outlets are really lying with open eyes. They don't even want to save face in order to put the blame on you."
The little wolf cub said with disgust.
"If you have the guts, just reveal the truth. Why don't you just speak vaguely like that? If you have the guts, just sue us in court." The little wolf cub said as he posted these words in the forwarding section of the news.
Three seconds later, the news disappeared.
Ye Ruian also gave up social media and continued to tinker with his computer.
Barry, who was standing aside, looked at Ye Ruian lying on the sofa and sighed with envy.
——He really envied this person’s mental state.
He doesn't even want to touch his laptop now - once he opens it, all he hears is scolding from his boss and words of comfort from his colleagues, either trying to get information, gloating over his misfortune, or comforting him.
So how did things turn out like this?
Barry's thoughts went back to two days ago.
*
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Barry, who had just parked the car and was ready to mediate, immediately walked quickly towards the area after hearing a few gunshots.
He originally thought that the ancestors on their side had suffered losses, but when he looked up.
He saw the body of the Chief Justice's son.
He froze on the spot, looking like he was about to break.
He didn't understand why the leaders in the other two countries looked so haggard when they handed these bosses over to him.
Although these people are obviously difficult to serve, they are professionals. This little difficulty should not make them look so haggard, right?
Especially these few people either have adjutants or assistants with them.
After spending some time with these people, Barry became even more confused about his two colleagues.
——Until now.
Barry suddenly realized.
Why did those two colleagues look so haggard, and why did they look like they were throwing a hot potato when they handed the person over to him.
Some of these people are really going to kill!
All Barry was thinking about now was how to communicate with the lifelong justice, how to deal with the body, and how to deal with the troubles and temptations from all sides. Even the Secret Service might come!
——However, thinking back to the several nobles from the other two countries whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Barry put the Secret Service aside in his mind.
These people have probably killed many big shots in other countries, so they can be completely ruled out as suspects.
The rest is political struggle, which has nothing to do with those who make a living by relying on mutants.
Barry thought, he wanted to keep a relaxed attitude, but when he saw the body of the lifelong justice's son in front of him...
Barry: Great, let's get out of the car on the way back while it's on autopilot, without opening the door or lowering the car.
Barry finally came back to his senses from the collapse and heard Marshal Aaron say.
"Ryan, this is the tenth noble you've killed! You should at least let them hold out until they go to court! This is really rude."
Marshal Aaron looked at Ye Ruian, who was tired of swearing, with disapproval.
Barry: ...Just impolite? Although this person deserves the death penalty for what he did, is it really appropriate to describe it as impolite?
As for Marshal Aaron's words, Ye Ruian on the side looked up at the sky and down at the ground but didn't dare to look at Aaron. He had none of the solemn and murderous aura he had just had, and even muttered pitifully.
"He was so fierce just now that I was scared. And I noticed that he was reaching into his pocket. I was afraid that he was going to get a gun, so subconsciously..."
Marshal Aaron looked at Ye Ruian as if he couldn't do anything to him. At this time, his assistant and adjutant who appeared from nowhere also hurried forward.
It was as if killing the son of a Supreme Court Justice was not a big deal, but Barry still thought of himself as a normal person after all, he stammered.
"Uh--Mr. Ye, you just killed the son of a lifetime justice..."
Barry said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, I killed him. What's wrong? Killing terrorists who endanger society, isn't that the responsibility of our team?"
Ye Ruian raised his chin and said nonchalantly.
Barry stuttered even more: "But the Chief Justice will not let it go, even if you are right..."
The silver-haired little wolf cub spread his hands. His unruly silver hair, paired with his pair of furry ears, made him look indifferent and quite irritating.
"So, you have the guts to kill me?"
BARRY: …
*
Barry was speechless at first, but when he calmed down and thought about what Ye Ruian said, he realized that the Chief Justice really couldn't do anything to Ye Ruian?
Killing Ye Ruian is definitely not an option, as the Orc Empire is watching them from behind. Even though they have lost a prince, Feng Qi is still not old.
To trip up Ye Ruian and cause his political career to collapse?
Did Ye Ruian care about these things? He even dared to curse people in the street. His adoptive parents were protected by the Orc Empire. The only ones they could meet were his biological parents.
——Anyone who knows Ye Ruian’s past would not think it is a good idea to threaten him with Ye Ruian’s biological parents.
If Ye Ruian knew about this, he would probably just applaud and urge them to act quickly.
So... the matter of killing the Chief Justice's son has just been forgotten?
Barry got on the flying car normally with this illusion in a daze, notified the relevant departments normally, and prepared to return to their current headquarters normally.
——Then he was scolded by his boss.
"——Are you a fool? Why did you bring those people to Master Klia? Those civilians died, so they died. Those veterans can be suppressed, but people have died and this matter cannot be resolved!"
The boss's furious voice was transmitted directly to Barry's ears through the audio transmission in private mode, and no one else could hear it.
Barry suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the original feeling of uncertainty disappeared immediately.
He finally realized that his son, a lifelong judge, had just died.
"This is an urgent task assigned by the Ministry of Security. After the two got off the car, they solved everything in two minutes, and then started chatting with Master Klia. The young master was rude - he grew up with the lifelong justice - others usually tolerated it because of his status, but you also know Mr. Ye's temper..."
Barry hurriedly explained to his boss. Although his boss knew that what Barry said was correct, he was in urgent need of finding someone to take the blame. It didn't matter whether Barry was innocent or not, the most important thing was whether he could take the blame.
His boss's vague words made Barry feel exhausted both physically and mentally, and his anger was rising rapidly. Finally, Barry spoke directly.
"...Okay, then you can punish me now. I don't want to do this anymore. I will be transferred to another position tomorrow. If I can't find someone to take over, I can give these gentlemen a holiday."
As soon as these words were spoken, the boss became the first to back down.
He dared to scold Barry because this was Barry's only chance of promotion during this period, but the other party didn't even want this opportunity, and his boss didn't dare to let Barry go on strike now.
——What a tough job it was to serve those three. They had just been in the Federation for two days and they killed the Chief Justice’s son. It was hard to imagine who they were going to kill next.
The boss reluctantly softened his tone, said a bunch of comforting words to Barry, and then quickly hung up the phone.
Barry first breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed bitterly.
The federal system is like this now. In the past, you could get ahead if you did practical things, but now you will become a slave if you do practical things.
If you do a good job, it is the leader's achievement; if you do a bad job, it is your own fault.
Barry shook his head and didn't think any further. He looked at the two people behind him. They didn't seem to care at all that he had just killed a big shot. He suddenly felt a little envious.
I wish he could reach their status.
But on second thought, if these people were really valued as several countries appear to be, they wouldn't have to travel around to several countries.
Barry thought with a sigh.
These three were heroes in the ruins incident, especially Ye Ruian, who enjoyed a period of glory after the ruins incident. Even the old prime minister almost returned to politics.
——Until those big shots discovered that these people had experienced the ruins incident and did not support them to continue exploring the ruins.
The powerful people's interest in these people disappeared in an instant.
The hero also turned into a clown.
They have no ability to change the world, and after the incident, the three parties began to reach a tacit understanding and work together to suppress these people.
So even though no one can question their previous achievements, they are now far away from the center of power.
The old prime minister returned to his manor, and Ye Ruian also returned to the Orc Empire. As a benchmark, his treatment was quite good.
The others received their rewards and were allowed to go back - until mutants began to appear throughout the universe.
It’s not like the sealed parallel world that can fight against the regular army, but the number of people gathered together cannot be underestimated.
Although smart police can still cope with it at present, it is hard to say about the future.
After those so-called scientists and the second-generation rich and powerful who like to commit suicide got involved, the situation became increasingly out of control.
But who cares? After all, only some civilians died.
Compared with their plan for immortality, that's just a small problem.
These people were even afraid that others would come and steal the credit, so they excluded those who had the deepest contact with the ruins and did not allow them any contact at all, for fear that they would get closer to the relics.
Yes, relic items.
Except for the largest relic, which was not moved - and they dared not to move it - all the other relics, big and small, were destroyed.
This also opened Barry's eyes. In the interstellar age, there are still people who think that even the dust in the ruins can cure all diseases.
Marshal Aaron, Professor Ethan and Ye Ruian were excluded because of this. The bigwigs who originally disliked them forced them to become members of an organization.
——Although everyone knows that this organization is just a show and mascot department.
Basically, there is not much real power.
The name seems intimidating, as if the three countries have a hand in all affairs. But if you look closely, you will find that this authority can only allow them to observe the affairs of these so-called countries.
So the three people who were thrown into this organization all looked very bad at the beginning.
When the ceremony for the establishment of the live broadcast organization was being held, even the comment section was full of people cursing the government, saying that they were so out of their minds that they wanted to exclude people by doing something like this.
But the government continues to do as it pleases.
"But they never dreamed that the three people they despised as being in the way would take their lives in the future..."
Barry thought about it and turned on the holographic screen in the car. The holographic screen was broadcasting interstellar news.
"On Xth day of Xth month, at 8:09 a.m., several large mutant ships appeared on the route to the capital planet..."
This news made Barry frown. There were actually large mutant ships appearing on the route to the capital star?
Then he sighed, not knowing which force did it.
The purely natural mutant hull is probably only available from the pirates, and that hull is still in the Holy Star Empire.
The rest are probably man-made.
"There are really more and more of these mutants recently."
Barry sighed, but Ye Ruian took over.
"Maybe it's because of our arrival."
Barry suddenly felt a little nervous.
Ye Ruian said without hesitation: "Because those research institutes and the rich second generation can also do research boldly with our arrival, since someone will clean up the mess anyway."
Barry, who didn't dare to speak at all:...Ancestor, although what you said is right, can this really be said?
Back to the present, Barry sighed again.
These three ancestors have been staying in this villa for the past two days, and he had to persuade these big guys with great difficulty to stay out of the limelight.
Otherwise, they would really do something like this and go out on a mission immediately. However, unless they receive emergency news immediately, they can only stay in the Federation for the next three months to help the Federation deal with the mutant issues.
This is also related to the nature of their work. The three countries take turns patrolling. As for other countries, if something happens - in the interstellar age, time and space jump is a good thing.
While Barry was daydreaming, he heard an emergency communication voice suddenly coming from Professor Ethan.
He looked over and saw Professor Ethan frowned after seeing the name on the call before answering the call. He did not set the phone to privacy mode, so everyone present could hear what was said on the other end.
"Professor Ethan, I think you should take good care of your other two colleagues. They have caused such a big trouble this time!"
The voice belonging to Theodore on the other side said frantically.
"...No, I can't manage them. I'm not their superior, and I'm not from their country. Besides, what he did didn't break the law."
Ethan said seriously to the person on the other end of the communication.
"…But the identity of the person Ye Ruian killed this time is very important, and the Grand Justice has already begun to file a lawsuit with the International Military Tribunal."
Theodore rubbed his brows and spoke in a bad tone.
Just when he was about to speak again, a figure suddenly appeared on the holographic screen.
"——Is the son of the Grand Justice some kind of scientific researcher? Or will the Federation die if he dies? Otherwise, it's hard to imagine why a terrorist who can release mutants everywhere on the Capital Planet can't die?"
Ye Ruian has never concealed his violent temper, so the people present all looked accustomed to it.
When Theodore saw Ye Ruian's appearance, he first rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and then looked helpless. He really couldn't do anything about Ye Ruian.
Ye Ruian is definitely the only one who can ignore the behavior of those mutants and keep the pollutants safely and properly.
Just because of this identity, Ye Ruian will not die. Even if he commits a serious crime, it will not happen even if the person he targeted this time is the son of the Chief Justice.
——But the other two may not be the same.
Theodore felt a little tired thinking about this.
He really didn't want to get involved in this matter. The intrigues in the military alone were enough to keep him busy. But he was also one of those who opposed the development of the ruins, and he even opposed the study of the planet that Ye Ruian had visited.
Naturally, the gentlemen in Congress also listed him as an imaginary enemy. If it weren't for his strong military achievements, there would probably be more than three people in this organization now.
This is one of the reasons why Marshal Theo didn't want to get involved in this matter.
He didn't want to watch the country slide into the abyss step by step while he was powerless to do anything. It would be better for him to cover his eyes and act like a blind man, pretending not to see or get involved in the matter.
——After all, judging from Ethan’s translation, the term ‘God’s Origin Land’ doesn’t sound good.
And in the houses of that place they also found many manuscripts.
There were parts of the manuscripts that he couldn't understand, but they were formulas that would make any professor of space scream.
The other part is some seemingly strange words.
The Original Land of the Gods was translated from this manuscript, and in addition to the Original Land of the Gods, the owner of this manuscript frequently mentioned a word.
'Savior'
After this word was translated, everyone became even more confused. Savior? Could it be that the owner of the manuscript was still expecting a savior to come and save them?
However, judging from later manuscript translations, the so-called savior he mentioned can seal this gate of time and space.
The owner of the manuscript has always been opposed to this time and space gate. He even built a small hut here in that era when technology was not well developed. He stared at the door to warn others, and no one would take over his job after his death.
Thus, this matter was buried in the long river of history until this relic incident brought everything to light.
Judging from what the author of the manuscript said, this space-time gate is extremely dangerous and anyone with a bit of common sense should know not to go there or touch it.
But these leaders didn't care. They even began to actively promote the opening of this space gate to get rid of this space threshold. Moreover, just because they couldn't deal with those monsters in the Middle Ages doesn't mean they can't do it now.
Before, they only suffered losses because of weapons. Apart from the fact that they were not moved by the very first ruins, weren't all the remaining ruins demolished by them?
Theodore was speechless at such an optimistic attitude. Sometimes he even wondered if those people in Congress were all idiots.
But then he realized, is it true that there is not a single congressman in the entire federation who sees through this? It is absolutely impossible.
They just think that they don't need to bear the consequences of failure, but they will get a share of the credit if they succeed, so they will naturally work hard for this credit.
In order for things to succeed, these stumbling blocks must naturally be removed. Just like now, people who were originally able to fight side by side on the chips can now only confront each other because of these trivial matters.
Marshal Theodore thought about this, sighed deeply, and then spoke in a gentler tone.
"I know that others deserve to die, but even if the lifetime judge doesn't say it, he will still try his best to trip you up in private - just like this mission."
Now not only Ye Ruian couldn't sit still, the other two also frowned.
Mission? Didn't they just come back two days ago? Why are there suddenly new missions?
Aaron thought so and asked this question.
Theodore pinched his nose and said, "Because of the Grand Chancellor's incident, the parents of those playboys in the capital are a little scared. They want to send you away for a while to teach their own children a lesson first."
This will save them from being discovered by you before they have a chance to clean up, and in the end the child will die and they will lose face.
Marshal Theodore did not say the second half of the sentence.
"But... a planet with multiple mutants is a bit dangerous."
Barry frowned as he looked at the document, and said with a worried look, and Marshal Theodore nodded upon hearing that.
"It is indeed a bit dangerous, but this is the best option. The other environments are really bad, and there are not even a few people. I don't know how those mutants got there."
Aaron also frowned and was about to say that it was a bit dangerous here, but Ye Ruian behind him pulled at the corner of his clothes.
When Aaron saw that Ye Ruian looked like he wanted to go out and play, he sighed and took on the task.
Marshal Theodore saw Ye Ruian's eyes rolling and he suddenly became a little worried.
Everyone knows that this little beast is the bad guy in this three-person team.
Ethan didn't care at all and treated Ye Ruian like his own son.
Marshal Theodore was thinking worriedly, but when he turned around, he saw Aaron standing there straight. Although he looked melancholy, the light of justice in his body could not be blocked at all.
This person should not allow Ye Ruian to act recklessly. The previous few times were caused by Ye Ruian killing people too quickly.
Theodore thought.
After all, he is an honest man.
*
Half a month later, looking at the images on the screen, Theodore felt that he had trusted Aaron too much.
Why does he think he is reliable?
Theodore held the empty teacup with a blank look in his eyes, drinking air mouthful after mouthful, but his eyes were fixed on the light screen in front of him.
——Which honest person started selling goods through live streaming after imposing martial law on the disaster-stricken planet?
