Chapter 456: 208 A Formidable Enemy Arrives
[Bad news, boss, they found traces of my previous activities.]
[Good news, those traces were deliberately left as decoy options.]
[Bad news, at least three Poisoned Stinger Ships are conducting network searches and sweeps by area. I now understand why the Empire’s networks outside the Emperor Star Circle are all connected, and the security level of ordinary networks is just average. It’s to facilitate their own manipulation.]
[Good news, they’ve coordinated about six hundred various ships for search operations, and the number is still increasing. They’ve already found multiple traces related to , but the misleading information I left will lead them to the Guel Alliance.]
[Bad news, boss, the East Wind must change its position. Our decoy base has a completion rate of seventy percent. I suggest finishing it ahead of ti to enable the East Wind to leave the Empire’s territory and hide.]
Dawn was about to break.
Yang Ming, who had only lightly dozed for a while, looked at the ssages appearing on his glasses interface, and his nerves imdiately tightened.
He had never seen Lyu being so passive in the cyber world.
Lyu had even taken the initiative to ask for the East Wind to temporarily leave.
Yang Ming imdiately sent Lyu an instruction lifting the permission restrictions, allowing her to adapt to the situation freely and to avoid being compromised by restrictions.
A few minutes later, new text ssages popped up, with delay values recorded down to the millisecond.
[The East Wind has completed the transition.]
[Boss, should we adjust our anti-corruption strategy? Directly targeting these officials hits a nerve. The bureaucratic class is essential for realizing the Emperor’s Power, thus it also restricts it. The opponent’s use of the Emperor Star’s secret forces for counteraction proves this point.]
[We underestimated the Emperor Star Circle’s technological strength. The technological foundation there is several generations ahead of the New Federation’s reserves.]
Was she explaining why she had beco passive?
Lyu cared very much about whether her abilities were recognized.
Yang Ming thought for a mont and sent Lyu a few ssages:
[If it’s not safe within the Empire, the East Wind should retreat beyond its borders. I can handle things here myself.]
[Providing information support here will suffice. Just ensure the detective’s identity remains hidden.]
[Now you need to confirm one thing, whether our communications can be maintained within the Emperor Star Circle. Rember to test it without compromising your own safety. I will decide based on your report whether to enter the Emperor Star Circle later.]
A few minutes later, Lyu’s response arrived again.
She repeatedly urged her boss to stay longer on the Saka Star.
Even if Yang Ming left Saka Star imdiately and retreated with the East Wind, there was a high risk of exposure during the retreat.
——Not to ntion, that Poisoned Stinger Ship had been to Saka Star, and it’s very likely already under surveillance.
It was evident that the pressure Lyu was enduring now was imnse.
Yang Ming sat behind his desk, pondering for a few minutes, and sent a ssage to Lyu, instructing 026 to temporarily lay low.
026’s chanical spine had a full-shielding mode and now used simulated skin to cover the tallic texture of the spine. As long as they weren’t face-to-face with a Poisoned Stinger Ship, the risk of exposure wasn’t too high.
The most dangerous was Yang Ming, the White Ghost.
A few hours later.
Lyu sent an emoji of a long exhalation.
The enemy fleet might discover the ‘decoy base’ they set up within the next seventy-two Galaxy hours. The information of the chanical Guards and various robots within the base had been reset, and the base was maintained in a state of benign operation.
It stored the ‘White Ghost’s secret’—
The White Ghost, having narrowly survived, inherited the legacy of an Intelligent Machine civilization. This civilization had triggered the third Natural Disaster impacting nearly half of the Milky Way thousands of years ago. The White Ghost used the high technology gained from it to help the Empire purge pests.
Although there was so tension, so risk, and a bit of hazard;
Overall, things were still going smoothly.
Yang Ming put away his glasses, stretched his hands, and lay down on the bed, letting out a deep yawn.
Buzz, buzz!
The vibration disturbed the gradually calming brainwaves of Yang Ming.
He reached for the network terminal beside the pillow and saw the ssage from Mo Ge, the big black bear.
‘Mo Ge (Black Dog Sheriff): Fun? Hehehehehe.’
‘Scram.’
‘Mo Ge (Black Dog Sheriff): Ti to work, Detective. There are a few more cases today.’
‘Feeling unwell, need rest, don’t contact
for the next half month, this is a serious notice.’
Yang Ming’s ssage had just been sent when Mo Ge replied with a voice call.
“What’s the matter? Already soft? How many tis did you have fun last night? If I knew you were this weak, I would have bought you a companion robot in advance to train your combat strength. Have you embarrassed us on Saka Star?”
Yang Ming said calmly, “Recorded.”
“No, no, co on,” Mo Ge laughed, “I’m a righteous sheriff, sworn to fight against evil forces and criminal activities. Do you really want to rest for half a month?”
“Yep,” Yang Ming said calmly, “I’m not a full mber of your team, so I don’t need approval to take leave. Contact in half a month.”
“Alright, nobody can stop you from resting, is your health okay?”
“Nothing serious.”
“That’s good,” Mo Ge sighed, “I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like breaking up with my girlfriend, even though we were getting along well… That gentleman from Emperor Star exudes so sort of aura. I checked a lot of information and couldn’t find anything about him. It just feels a bit mysterious.”
