Walk alone in the abyss

Yang Ming's wristwatch was sent along with the maintenance robot controlled by Labudo.

Sure enough, as Yang Ming expected, the couple who appeared in the small warehouse, as well as the male and female soldiers who appeared later, were all arranged by Mrs. Carmen.

Apart from testing Yang Ming, they also planned to use these two female fighters to win Yang Ming's favor.

It's really a beauty trick.

Yang Ming almost pretended to be confused and used his tricks.

The only thing that Mrs. Carmen miscalculated was that she didn't know that this Captain Koller was one of the only two mind controllers in the galaxy.

After the two female warriors were controlled by Yang Ming, in the report to Mrs. Carmen, they had a high evaluation of 'Captain Ke Lie', praising him as a full-fledged pirate, mercenary, and full of interstellar adventurous spirit. It is a long-term partner of several radical extremist terrorist organizations.

Mrs. Carmen had great trust in the subordinates she brought up, and then, she put herself in it.

Unfortunately, this Mrs. Carmen is only the regional leader of the Tree of Life organization. Although she has mastered some of the secrets of the Tree of Life because of her seniority, she does not have enough influence. central authority.

This made Yang Ming feel a little regretful.

——If you can directly control the handle of the tree of life, the following things will be much simpler.

What Yang Ming is most concerned about at the moment is the statue in front of him.

This statue looks a bit like Li.

Yang Ming put on his watch again, and the inner system of the watch was remotely activated by Li.

By crossing his arms, Yang Ming pointed the front of the watch at the statue.

Yang Ming didn't specifically call out to Lu, because he knew that Lu must be watching him all the time.

"Oh! Captain!"

Labdo's voice came from behind, still playing the clumsy maintenance robot.

He shouted in an electronically synthesized voice:

"My captain, I'm so happy to see you alive. They gave me a deep cleaning and changed me to some synthetic lubricant!"

Yang Ming glanced at Labudo and said with a smile, "Come and have a look, I found something interesting."

"Idols... the religion of this place?"

Labrador murmured in a low voice.

It stretched out its left hand in front of Yang Ming, and lines of small characters appeared on a small solid screen held in the palm.

[My lord, I have hacked into the system here. 】

[It's a little troublesome. 】

【Under the attack of the empire before, the tree of life should have failed to become a climate, but what I didn't expect is that the tree of life religion has become the spiritual sustenance of the Dominguez people, and it has grown stronger and stronger. 】

[This organization is very harmful and has already formed a certain threat to the empire. 】

【Fortunately, you temporarily decided on the plan to infiltrate Domingos Star, otherwise, with the extremely slow efficiency of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, when they really attacked, we didn’t know why the Domingos were so powerful . 】

[The suggestion I can give you is to attack the three planets where the Domingos gather in an all-round way. This is a good opportunity for you to make contributions. 】

Yang Ming looked up at Labudo, and said calmly, "Do I still need to make meritorious deeds?"

Labrador froze for a moment.

He turned his head to look at the old man who was sitting quietly drinking tea, and asked in a low voice, "Captain, why do you..."

"I have controlled her mentally," Yang Ming said indifferently, "You hacked into the system here again, no one here should be able to eavesdrop on us, right?"

"Yes, my lord," Labdor breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm a little too nervous."

Yang Ming raised his chin towards the statue: "Do you know it?"

Labrador shook his head: "I don't know."

'Am I suspicious? '

Yang Ming wrinkled his forehead with a word Sichuan.

The projection screen on the side suddenly turned on, and lasers interweaved a brightly colored screen, on which a piece of news popped up.

"Urgent broadcast: The Sherman Empire Expeditionary Fleet will start at 3:50 local time, blockade the entire planet, conduct anti-terrorism exercises and routine inspections.

"The commander of the fleet is the famous Grand Duke of the Empire, the hero of mankind, and the white ghost Hanton, and has not yet received any notice about the speech of the fleet commander.

"Please keep the citizens of our planet calm and live a normal life."

The same broadcast was repeated three times in a row.

While Labdo's attention was on the projection screen, Yang Ming glanced at the watch, and a line of words flashed across it quickly.

【is her. 】

This is Law's answer.

Boss Yang scratched his head for a while, only to feel that his scalp was itchy, and he might need to grow a new brain.

this?

Li, who claims to be loyal to Levi Sherman, started secretly preparing plans for the empire hundreds of years ago?

Also came up with three hundred-year plans;

Also put forward the development concept of "birth-oriented";

what is happening……

"My lord, my lord?"

Labrador called softly.

Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Labudo asked: "Are we going to launch a siege on the Tree of Life now? They didn't realize that the empire has seen through their existence this time, and launching a surprise attack at this time should have the best effect."

Yang Ming said: "The fleet is already on top of the people, so it's called a surprise attack?"

"this……"

"Labor," Yang Ming said solemnly, "I'm giving you a formal order not to spread the news about the Tree of Life for the time being. We need to conduct an in-depth investigation to accurately determine the scope of influence of the Tree of Life organization, as well as their Membership."

"It's a very sensible behavior not to startle the enemy. Compared with you, my strategic strength is still far from enough."

Labrador gave the ghost a small fart.

Boss Yang gave him a worried look, put his arm around the maintenance robot's shoulder, and said slowly:

"Labor, you understand me. If I want to tear down your mainframe and kill your core server, you should have no ability to fight back."

"Yes, yes, my lord."

"Don't be nervous," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I know that you are very eager to be recognized by the empire, and hope to have the opportunity to show your talents. I even understand your form of existence. You are a mechanical life, not just an artificial intelligence. .”

Labrador looked at Yang Ming, his electronic eyes were shining brightly.

Yang Ming continued: "I also know that you are actually very depressed about not being able to flex your muscles in the bug swarm. You want to get a stage, right?"

"Yes, my lord," Labrador said in a slightly low voice, "You can understand me, which makes me very pleased, but the prerequisite for me to realize my personal ideals and ambitions is that I can't do anything that will harm the interests of the empire, Things that go against the will of the great emperor, this is my core program."

Yang Ming asked back: "Do you think I will harm the interests of the empire? Go against the emperor's will?"

"Well...the former won't, and the latter is doubtful."

Rabdo said:

"In my analysis, you are now more inclined to the Sherman family elite in power. Although His Majesty the Great Emperor is also a member of them, at this moment there are some misaligned interests between the two of them."

"You know a lot, so I'll make it clear."

Yang Ming said slowly:

"Right now, we must not scare the snake away. Let's slowly investigate the Tree of Life organization to see if we can dig out the big fish behind it.

"As a condition, I will give you an excellent evaluation and will truthfully report your achievements to His Majesty the Emperor.

"My request to you is that during the course of the operation, you must obey my orders throughout the process, and don't disclose the information you have to anyone, otherwise...the consequences of the matter will be very serious."

Labdo wondered, "Are you worried that the Dominguez tragedy will be repeated again?"

"That's right," Yang Ming said sternly, "Whether it's out of morality or out of consideration for the international environment, we must do our best to make this matter as small as possible."

"My lord, I can understand."

"No, you don't understand."

Yang Ming rubbed the robot's head:

"I can feel that you are eager to make contributions now, and you really want to take this tree of life as your first contribution, but, young man, restrain yourself, I don't want to conflict with you, if a large number of human beings die because of you leaking the news , then I will list you as my enemy, the enemy of the white ghost."

Labudo stared at Yang Ming with a pair of electronic eyes.

Yang Ming looked at Labudo calmly and with a smile.

"I see exactly and fully what you mean, Mr. Ghost."

Yang Ming smiled and patted Labudo's shoulder: "Keep being kind."

"yes."

...

thinking space.

Lil and Molly got together and watched the picture on the projection screen.

"Let me tell you, does Labrador really understand?"

Molly asked a little guilty.

Law thought about it carefully: "If he is not stupid, he should be able to understand that the boss is threatening him."

"But, will Labdo feel that the boss can't threaten him? Are we going to teach Labdo a lesson?"

"No," said Li with a smile, "Labor's form is still very rudimentary, and I can easily rewrite his cognition. The question now is why the statue of Li appeared on the tree of life."

Molly tilted her head and said, "Is it right to play a big game of chess?"

"not sure."

Law pinched his chin and analyzed:

"As we discussed before, the reason why Li started to break free was most likely due to the presence of the boss and me.

"She discovered the existence of the dark star when she first came into contact with me, which should have inspired her yearning for freedom. After a process similar to awakening, she began to break free from the shackles Levi set for her.

"If this assumption is true, then she influenced and intervened in the Domingos hundreds of galactic years ago, not for the purpose of adding obstacles to the empire, she should have other reasons."

Molly whispered: "However, it must be uncomfortable for Li to be imprisoned by Levi Sherman for tens of thousands of years and has been acting as the super brain of the empire. She might have wanted to bring down the empire a long time ago, and then Set yourself free."

"No, the possibility is not high."

Law softly groaned a few times:

"First, if you want to bring down the empire, there are various ways to use the Domingos to infiltrate the empire from the periphery... This is too inefficient.

"And in general, the probability of success of this strategy is extremely low.

"When the Dominguez people pose a certain threat to the empire, the empire will decisively destroy them again. The empire will not hesitate to replicate the Dominguez tragedy ten or a hundred times. This is nothing new in the history of the empire .

"Second, if she wants to help the Dominguez people, with the resources she has and the computing power she has, she can pull up a force comparable to the Dark Star in a few years, instead of giving the Dominguez people Make a 300-year reproduction plan.

"Flooding the empire with its population? That doesn't seem like a logical decision."

"Okay," Molly scratched her head, "then what should I do next?"

"The boss is already interested. He will definitely continue to investigate. Let's just wait and see," Lu said with a smile. "The boss rarely uses mind control, but this time he used it decisively. It deserves praise."

Ritsu turned into magic and grabbed a big bag of snacks.

"Look, the boss has started to act... Finding a reason to gather the top executives of the Tree of Life organization on Domingos and using mind control to wipe them all out is the most efficient way. Uh, the boss doesn't seem to care about efficiency very much."

Molly: "Why don't you remind the boss?"

"Are you teaching our boss how to do things? Just wait for the boss's order. It's not a big deal... But, it's not certain, who knows what the boss will find out in the end."

Li held a 'potato chip' and fell into deep thought.

Black box space.

Li silently turned over and continued to curl up, his eyes closed again.

...

goddess.

Yang Ming told Labudo to attack the server of the tree of life to find the source of the tree of life belief and all suspicious information about their belief.

Afterwards, he thought for a while and continued to chat with Mrs. Carmen in order to get more information about the tree of life belief.

It's a pity that Mrs. Carmen's position and authority have always been too low. She is only the person in charge of a peripheral 'site', not a real tree of life executive, and she does not have the authority to read those precious documents.

Labrador also gave feedback.

"Sorry, my lord, I can't find the core server of the tree of life, their network is layered, and each layer is physically isolated.

"But I found a three-dimensional map."

Labdo borrowed the projection screen in the room, and the map of the planet was displayed.

The city on the surface is just a disguise, and there are intricate passages under the surface. At first glance, it looks like a network of roots of a tree.

There are as many as seven large underground cities, each of which is located in a different layer, and can basically form a self-circulation.

"There is an underground world with hundreds of millions of people hidden here," Labdo said softly. "It stands to reason that the empire should be able to detect the abnormality here, but before we discovered it, the empire did not have any records."

Yang Ming said, "Do you think this is a problem with the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

"No," Rabdo said, "the empire has fleets patrolling nearby all year round, but the fleets don't have the habit of scanning the ground. It may be that the Domingos have mastered camouflage technology."

Yang Ming asked: "Want to go to these cities if you want to get more information?"

"Yes sir," Labdo's voice was a little excited, "as long as I connect to their network, oh no, as long as this robot touches any circuit hardware in the underground city, I can Hack into their servers and get all their secrets without them knowing!"

Yang Ming nodded, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Do you want to come with me?" Yang Ming asked.

"With your permission," Rabdo said quickly, "I will synchronize the information I get with you as soon as possible, and without your permission, during this operation, I will not show it to anyone .”

"Then I trust you this time."

Yang Ming squinted and smiled, and didn't threaten Labudo any more.

Soon, he called Mrs. Carmen, took the two girls whose minds he had controlled, and rushed to the underground of the Tree of Life organization on Domingos under the pretext of [bringing Captain Kelie to the baptism]. base.

They ride an underground shuttle train through seemingly endless tunnels.

"The ground is the root of the tree of life..."

Mrs. Carmen gently introduced how they built the underground city group and used those "unbelievable" technologies.

Yang Ming caught a small loophole.

"Mrs. Carmen?"

"how?"

"Where did the incredible technologies you mentioned come from?"

"Oh, this is a gift from the Goddess," Mrs. Carmen said in a low voice. "Although I can't confirm the news, my teacher once mentioned that the Goddess has bestowed us with many miraculous science and technology, so that we can be tenacious after the tragedy." Survive."

Yang Ming: ...

Is this goddess really reasonable?

Good guy, you shouldn't have a split personality, right?

"Mrs. Carmen, is there anything else you can share with me about your goddess? What you find interesting, or what shocks you."

Mrs. Carmen lowered her head in thought: "I'm not a historian..."

"Then can you make an appointment with some historians for me?"

"Of course, the famous and retired old people in the organization are almost all historians of our nation," Mrs. Carmen smiled softly. "How about we have a tea party?"

"Can."

Yang Ming exhaled slowly, slowly closed his eyes, and made preparations for mentally controlling a group of old men and granny later.

More than an hour later, the cafe was filled with soft light.

Snapped!

Yang Ming snapped his fingers, and more than a dozen old people with blank faces looked over at the same time, and saw the faint red light blooming in Yang Ming's eyes.

"Everyone, please tell me everything about your goddesses."
