Chapter 739: 306 Temporary Farewell to Emperor Star_3
Catherine had at most half an hour before her departure, and the Supermodified Organization’s small airship was already waiting on a nearby tarmac.
He still couldn’t persuade Catherine to abandon that dangerous idea.
Moreover, Catherine hadn’t betrayed her comrades; despite all the ans Yang Ming exhausted, both on and off the bed, she stubbornly withheld any intelligence about internal groups within the Supermodified.
The thought imprint wasn’t reliable.
This thing could indeed subtly change a person’s perception of right and wrong and their basic understanding, but because of its simple structure, it easily veered in the wrong direction.
Not considering the part modified by the Elder Court in private,
The Supermodified’s thought imprint was usually just a sentence: “Loyal to the Sherman Empire, dedicate yourself.”
This loyalty to the Sherman Empire had a lot of leeway.
In particular, when the Supermodified ca into contact with the Emperor Star, a paradise for the Great Nobles, the ideological shock often led them to so extre thoughts.
[The Empire doesn’t need these parasites.]
[The existing system of the Empire is flawed; anding it could create a better Empire.]
Such notions, for example, could erge.
Yang Ming, of course, felt no sense of belonging to the Sherman Empire; he just wanted to establish a foothold here to achieve his two objectives.
First, he wanted to try and influence the power structure in “Faya’s Ga,” helping his ho planet as much as possible on the NPC level.
Second, in case the ho planet’s humans miraculously turned the tide and passed the examination to enter the Milky Way, he wanted to have enough influence to protect them from being enslaved or divided.
If he were strong enough, he might even preserve so of the cultural heritage of his ho planet.
So, he was attempting to beco an Imperial Duke.
And now, he was already on a fast track to status elevation.
He had even begun considering candidates for the next Emperor of the Empire, with so crazy plans in his mind.
He completely understood Catherine.
If Catherine could ensure her own safety, he could also support her spiritually.
But now, the Empire hadn’t weakened; there wasn’t the chaotic environnt within the Empire that the standalone version of “Abyss” depicted; the evil Empire hadn’t yet beco the target of universal outcry.
The small groups of Supermodified didn’t have any conditions for a successful uprising!
If Catherine and her group insisted on going through with it, that would be akin to the Great Elder’s failed coup attempt—courting death.
Yang Ming scratched the short hair on the top of his head.
Should he just go ahead and detain Catherine?
Catherine was a Supermodified; unless she was completely imprisoned, as long as Yang Ming was away from her side, she could easily escape.
Yang Ming couldn’t bring himself to treat her that way either.
Her soul, constantly in pursuit of freedom, shone with a brilliant light.
That was also the light that attracted Yang Ming the most.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and the impeccably dressed Catherine walked out with a lazy expression.
“What’s the matter?”
Catherine asked softly.
Yang Ming snapped back to reality, turned, and looked at Catherine, as their gazes t.
“When will you act?” Yang Ming asked in a deep voice.
“It depends on the situation with the thought imprint; we’re seriously underprepared,” Catherine said softly. “Don’t worry about these… let’s part ways.”
“Don’t think you can use such a ridiculous reason to break up with .”
Yang Ming glared at her.
Catherine, with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, smiled gently:
“Alright then, if one day they ask you to assist with an investigation, just spill everything about
and then say our relationship is only about sleeping, not love.”
“I don’t understand, why do sothing when you know you can’t win?”
“If we don’t try, how will we know there’s really no chance of winning?”
Catherine sighed softly:
“The Supermodified are experints themselves; more than a hundred Supermodified with thought imprints that were modified by the Elder Court have already been sent to the Dinsion Ascension Laboratory.
“We fully understand the importance of Dinsion Ascension to human civilization, and we have no objections to our end destiny.
“But we believe we can attempt so things to make our journey more aningful.”
She paused her words and then actively hugged Yang Ming’s arm, coaxing him tenderly with so sweet words.
Catherine laughed, “Alright, actually the situation you anticipate is just the smallest probability; we still have many opportunities, and I promise you, as long as there’s a chance, I won’t go to extres.”
“Are you sure you don’t need
to accompany you to the headquarters of the Supermodified?”
“No.”
Catherine glanced at the communicator: “They’re urging
again; I’ll report first, and once things settle on my side, I’ll ssage you. If I get a break, I’ll co to find you, how about that?”
“Alright,” Yang Ming raised his hand to caress her cheek but couldn’t say much.
Catherine kissed him on the cheek, picked up the hovering suitcase beside her, and as she walked to the door, she looked back at Yang Ming with a smile, gently waving her hand.
The corridor diffused a soft yellow halo, and her long hair draped over her shoulders was still so beautiful.
After the door closed, Yang Ming looked down at his palm, feeling a sense of loss.
One by one, they were all like this.
Yang Ming suddenly paused for a mont, a sentence previously uttered by the old Emperor flashed in his mind, there was one sentence, where the old Emperor’s voice had indeed intensified.
“You’d better stay away from the Supermodified.”
Yang Ming:…
This!
He wanted to rush out and stop Catherine, but imdiately realized that the mont Catherine stepped out of the room, she could possibly be under the Antenna Organization’s surveillance the entire ti.
Things were not so simple.
The uprising of the small groups of Supermodified was destined to fail.
To break the stalemate, to save Catherine, he had to find a way to disrupt the situation.
Yang Ming knew he wasn’t at the end of his rope; he was even starting to think, while rescuing Catherine, what advantages he could gain from this incident.
All plans had to revolve around his core strategy, and his personal emotional desires could only be rationally restrained.
Yang Ming tapped on his watch, thought for a mont, and sent Lyu the action directives.
[Contact Bryant, make sure he’s ready for covert communications, I’m leaving Emperor Star soon and will contact him shortly.]
[Understood, boss.]
