IRCDM Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Escort – Can You Escape?

Li Yao’s gaze at him was murderous.

The eyes in the photos and videos finally felt real. Liang Huan appreciated the killing intent in the other’s eyes. His index finger gently traced the watermarks on his cheek, a rare hint of pity and tolerance for his enemy: “Did you think I was dead, so you cried?”

The mind-numbing drug robbed Li Yao of his ability to resist. He simply gave up and leaned against the wall, casually saying, “Then you’re mistaken. I’m crying for my long-dead wife. Are you her?”

The appreciation and satisfaction in Liang Huan’s eyes slightly froze.

Li Yao raised an eyebrow, sizing him up, and drawled, “If you’re not someone’s wife, don’t rush to disturb their mourning. Anyone who knows you will think the military is shameless, and anyone who doesn’t will think you have a crush on me. Control yourself, okay?”

Liang Huan: “…”

Li Yao tilted his head unhappily, dodging his hand, his disgust overflowing.

Liang Huan seized his chin, forcibly turning his face back, and said coldly, “The famous Dawn Star, is your only skill talking?”

“I’d love to fight, but I can’t stand someone using dirty tricks.” Li Yao said indifferently, “Anyway, I’ve been caught by you. Kill me or slice me up, whatever.”

This brazen, unyielding attitude was completely different from the Dawn Star Liang Huan had imagined. In his imagination, Li Yao should have been unyielding in death after being captured, not—

He took a deep breath, looking at the person who was completely relaxed, almost sitting on his lap, and suddenly withdrew his leg, warning expressionlessly, “You better understand, I’m not Liang Huan during his mental disorder.”

Li Yao was surprised: “Of course, I wouldn’t bear to treat my darling so harshly. He’d get a paper cut while cooking and I’d have to hold him and comfort him for ages. Unlike you.”

He glanced at Liang Huan, even adding a sarcastic “tsk.”

Liang Huan was silent for a few seconds under his scrutiny, but quickly realized that this was just Li Yao’s method of trying to provoke him. He took out a pair of special handcuffs from his waist, grabbed Li Yao’s wrist and twisted him back against the wall, handcuffing his hands behind his back.

Li Yao didn’t resist at all, only letting out a low hiss when his face was pressed against the rough wall. Liang Huan grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back. Half of the man’s face was already red from being rubbed.

Liang Huan said somewhat disappointedly, “You’re nothing more than this.”

Li Yao shrugged indifferently, still provoking him fearlessly even with his arms tied behind his back and struggling to stand against the wall: “You better shoot me now, or you’ll definitely regret it.”

Liang Huan ignored his provocation, grabbed his belt and hoisted him onto his shoulder, put on a thin mask, and carried him forward.

Li Yao hung his head dejectedly, staring at his lower back tightened by the belt and his long, straight legs even more slender in military boots, and couldn’t help but whistle: “So beautiful, Officer Lin.”

Liang Huan’s footsteps paused unnaturally for a moment, then quickened.

Li Yao was rudely thrown into the carriage, his lower back and legs hitting the steel seat. His expression twisted in pain, reasonably suspecting that Lin Chen was deliberately retaliating.

As soon as he sat down, four mechanical arms stretched out from the transport vehicle, fixing his limbs to the seat, and even his neck was tightly clamped by a cold steel ring, seemingly to prevent any possibility of escape.

The leader of the Silver Saddle Team, Huo Xie, and the deputy leader, Lang Shao, sat on either side of him, armed and mentally tense. Their mental power levels were both 2S, suppressing his mental power almost effortlessly, but even so, the two were on high alert, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Firstly, they were escorting the famous Dawn Star of the military, and secondly, their elusive superior, Minister Lin Chen, was sitting opposite them. The former was once hailed as the light of humanity with double 3S+, and the latter was called the Rising Star of Dawn after defeating everyone in the mecha division upon entering the military. Their mental power and physical abilities were still classified—the two had never seen each other. Today, they were actually sitting in the same car.

Lang Shao forcibly suppressed his excitement, inconspicuously glancing at Lin Chen opposite him.

…He forgot that Minister Lin liked to wear a mask. This dead fish face with stiff features was really hard to compliment.

He inconspicuously turned his head to look at Li Yao again.

Li Yao leaned weakly against the seat. Even though he had been extremely careful, the other party still noticed his gaze and smiled: “Officer, got a cigarette?”

This request was very common among most of the prisoners Lang Shao escorted, and wasn’t excessive. He looked up at the minister.

Liang Huan coldly rejected the request.

Li Yao stared at him unhappily for a long time. His eyes ached from looking at that dead man’s mask made of who-knows-what. He turned to ask Lang Shao, “Does he always wear this ugly thing in the military?”

Lang Shao kept a straight face and pretended not to hear, not daring to answer this life-threatening question. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Li Yao turned his head again, not very honestly, and asked Huo Xie, “Is he mute, or are you deaf? Wanna chat? I’ll tell you about the Dawn Project?”

Huo Xie hugged his gun and stared straight ahead expressionlessly, his facial nerves twitching slightly. The boss hadn’t spoken. Even if Li Yao dared to speak, he wouldn’t dare to listen.

Click.

With a soft sound, the steel ring around Li Yao’s neck instantly tightened, forcing him to only look forward, unable to turn his restless head around.

Unfortunately, directly in front of him was Liang Huan.

Li Yao obviously had no desire to communicate with him. He lowered his eyelids, yawned, and prepared to sleep.

Liang Huan clicked open the data panel in front of him. Li Yao’s various physical stats were accurately displayed on the panel. Among them, the mental power level of A+ was dazzlingly displayed in front of him, not to mention the physical ability level of 2S+ next to it. He slowly frowned: “When you left the Eastern District First Prison, your mental power level was E-, and your physical ability was only A-. But as of a day ago, the latest data updated by the military showed that your mental power was only B- and your physical ability was S-.”

He paused: “But now your mental power is A+ and your physical ability is as high as 2S+. Li Yao, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation.”

The high-frequency mental power interference he had placed high hopes on had caused negligible damage to Li Yao. He had never had such a serious miscalculation of the target’s mental power. This was the biggest loophole in the operation.

Li Yao opened his eyes when he heard the words, looking smug: “My wife spent a lot of effort and money to nurture me. What, do you have a problem with that?”

Liang Huan: “…”

He remembered looking at his private bills in the Eastern Third District the other day. Most of the expenses were in medical items. Although the amount was alarming, even owing the Third District Administrative Court billions, it would be reasonable if it was for treating his high mental power dysfunction, but he didn’t understand why he had spent so much money and the dysfunction was still not resolved.

Very good, the mental power was disordered, and his brain was gone too.

Li Yao looked at him gloatingly. Seeing him look over, he smiled and said, “Officer Lin, remember to pay my wife back.”

Huo Xie and Lang Shao perked up their ears, wishing Li Yao would say more.

When did Dawn Star get married?

Who was the delicate, crybaby wife he was so devoted to?

Why did Officer Lin Chen have to pay Dawn Star’s wife back?

Was it that the love of three people was too crowded, or did two male lions fall in love with the same white moonlight?

Liang Huan glanced at them: “You guys go to the front.”

Huo Xie and Lang Shao were very regretful, but their movements were faster than anyone else’s. They opened the side door in front of the transport vehicle and quickly slipped out, afraid of being affected by the minister’s anger.

Liang Huan took off his gloves and placed them next to the seat, stood up.

Li Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, slightly tilting his head up from below, looking at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile: “Minister Lin, even if you’re ashamed and want to use torture, it should be in a relatively private environment like a prison cell. Using torture in the transport vehicle, aren’t you afraid of being cursed to death?”

Liang Huan looked down at him condescendingly: “Since you know I will use torture, you shouldn’t deliberately provoke me.”

Li Yao was shocked: “Honest to goodness, I’m telling the truth. It’s clearly you who can’t afford to play.”

“If you’re trying to lower my psychological defenses with your past with Liang Huan, don’t waste your effort.” Liang Huan grabbed his hair, forcing him to raise his head with difficulty. The steel ring around his neck was extremely tight, causing the veins on Li Yao’s forehead to bulge. He lowered his eyes to appreciate Li Yao’s breathing becoming thin: “The Liang Huan you know is just a product of mental power disorder. Li Yao, don’t have any illusions about him. I have many ways to make you talk.”

A cold light flashed before his eyes. Liang Huan suddenly raised his hand and took half a step back, leaving a bloody mark on his cheek. His palm was pierced by metal, and blood dripped onto the pure white metal floor, flowing to Li Yao’s feet.

Li Yao wiggled his wrist free of the restraints, twirling the mechanical arm that had just restrained him. The sharp cutting edge pointed directly at Liang Huan’s nose, and he said coldly, “You’re the first person in the military who dares to torture me.”

Back then, when the situation was so severe, the military only did gene experiments at most. No one dared to touch him. He was the one who ran rampant. After running away for a few years, what kind of thing dared to act wild in front of him—Following the last time he was tricked into the Black Market by Liang Huan, Li Yao successfully failed to control his emotions once again.

Bang!

The special-grade alien-resistant steel plate was dented with a violent force. Before the people in front could be alarmed, there were several more bangs. The steel plate seemed to turn into plasticine, being smashed into various shapes one after another. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the steel ring that had been tied around Dawn Star’s neck was straightened and directly pierced the steel plate, flying out of the windshield close to the driver’s ear.

Huo Xie and Lang Shao sitting next to him looked at each other. Huo Xie plucked up his courage and said, “Officer, do you need help?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Liang Huan’s cold voice came through the gap.

“Considering my wife’s face, I won’t slap you. Don’t think you’re anything special.” Dawn Star’s irritable voice rang out along with the sound of metal clashing violently.

The transport vehicle, which was traveling at high speed, was knocked off course by a terrifying force. The experienced driver frantically steered the car back.

Liang Huan leaned against the window, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled slightly: “You care so much about him—a person who has already disappeared?”

Half of Li Yao’s face was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was. Hearing this, he grinned ferociously: “You better shut your mouth.”

“Come on, kill me with all your strength.” Liang Huan looked with satisfaction at the Dawn Star in front of him, who was full of anger and killing intent, a hint of madness faintly flashing in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the rapidly rising numbers on the panel, his tone with a hint of coaxing: “Use my life to commemorate your non-existent lover.”

Li Yao’s speed was astonishing. Liang Huan didn’t even have time to see clearly before he was punched in the cheek. The car window behind him shattered, and cold wind howled in. He was firmly choked by Li Yao’s neck, and half of his body was exposed outside the aerial roadway. With just a little bit more, he would be crushed into meat paste by the strong magnetic field on the aerial roadway.

Liang Huan laughed happily and slowly clenched his fist to prepare to fight back: “That’s right.”

A drop of scalding blood hit the bridge of his nose, flowing along the curve of the wound to the corner of his eye, burning his breath.

Violence was burning his reason. Li Yao was clearly on the verge of collapse, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, the veins on his hand choking his neck bulging, his hoarse voice like he was tearing it out of his chest: “Liang, Huan.”

Liang Huan’s heart suddenly twisted, as if someone had suddenly covered his mouth and nose, cutting off his breath. He quickly analyzed the intention behind Li Yao’s actions, judging whether it was the other party’s method of confusing people, but his emotions were rapidly collapsing into ruins. He instinctively, uncontrollably raised his hand, and didn’t even understand what he was going to do.

The metal-pierced, blood-stained palm slowly spread out in front of Li Yao.

Then he wiped away the drop of blood from the corner of his eye.

Li Yao almost gritted his teeth. He grabbed Liang Huan’s collar and suddenly pulled him back. The high-intensity magnetic field almost grazed the back of Liang Huan’s head. Then he was smashed onto the blood-splattered metal floor.

Another punch with extremely terrifying force, probably wanting to kill him, but it looked more like venting anger.

Liang Huan quickly got up and dodged. Li Yao glanced at him coldly, looked at the smashed window. As soon as his foot was about to move, a surging mental power suddenly spread out in the car, forcibly establishing a mental link with him, forcing him to take half a step back.

Li Yao’s gaze towards him was extremely terrifying. The mercy he had shown a moment ago seemed to be just an illusion. The once vast mental source was still extremely threatening and oppressive, directly sweeping over Liang Huan’s mental source.

The driver and the two team leaders in front had been forced to forcibly close their mental sources, but even so, they had fallen into a state of mental disorder. Even the escort vehicles around them had to turn on high-intensity mental power shielding devices.

The mental power of the two fighting was comparable to a special-grade alien swarm.

Liang Huan stood still, even though blood was seeping out of his ears, he was still constantly increasing his mental power, determined to make Li Yao submit.

Li Yao turned a deaf ear to his threat, even taking a step forward.

“If you don’t admit defeat, I’ll completely destroy your mental source.” Liang Huan said coldly.

Li Yao raised his chin, his eyes contemptuous: “Come on, let’s see who destroys who.”

The transport vehicle flew quickly on the aerial roadway, the cold wind howling, blood pervading, and under the exchange of gazes, neither was willing to give in half a step.

Buzz—

The buzzing sound of the high-intensity mental power shielding device being turned on instantly cut off the mental link between the two. The car suddenly slammed on the brakes, dragging out a long skid mark.

The car stopped in the square of the external district access center.

Li Yao sat sprawled on the seat, looked down at Liang Huan, who had pressed the button of the shielding device, and hooked the corner of his mouth: “Yo, you’re scared now?”

Liang Huan wiped the blood from his face, picked up the gloves on the seat, put them on unhurriedly, walked to him, and said coldly, “Sorry, I was just testing the limits of your physical stats. I take back all the offending words about your lover.”

Li Yao raised his head, staring at him with a gloomy expression: “…Fuck.”

Liang Huan nodded politely and distantly.

“Lying to ghosts, Officer Lin, your mental power was shaking with excitement just now.” Li Yao sneered, “What a shameless abuse of power for personal gain.”

Liang Huan smiled slightly, completely different from the crazy man just now. His voice was gentle: “You’re overthinking.”

Li Yao slumped weakly in the seat, gave him the middle finger, and said with a cheeky smile: “I’ll kill you sooner or later, Officer Lin.”

Liang Huan raised his hand and opened the car door of the transport vehicle. Hearing this, he turned his head and met his eyes, smiling: “I’m looking forward to it.”

“Get out of the way! Don’t stop me! Lin Chen—Lin Chen, you bastard! What did you do to Dawn Star? Ah!” An angry voice came from outside the car, “If you dare to use torture, I’ll tear off your skull. Lin Chen, get out here! Dawn Star is so weak, and you still dare to touch him—”

The car door opened, and Liang Huan got out of the car.

Xu Hong, who was passionately scolding, looked at his appearance and became like a duck whose throat had been pinched.

The always aloof Officer Lin Chen was covered in dust and bloodstains. Even through the mask, you could see the bloody cuts on his face. The blood had dyed the white collar red, and the military uniform, which was always crisp, was rare and messy…

Especially after seeing Li Yao, who was unscathed and even had the leisure to cross his legs and prop his head to watch the show from the car.

Xu Hong’s silence was even greater.

Liang Huan pulled over the military cloak Huo Xie handed over and put it on, expressionlessly looking at him: “Minister Xu, you don’t need to be so loud.”

Xu Hong was a tall middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, and a face full of horizontal flesh. Hearing this, he said: “I don’t need you to teach me! Hand over Li Yao!”

Liang Huan tugged at his collar and said lightly: “Dawn Star was arrested by the Mecha I Department, so the I Department will naturally conduct the interrogation. There’s no need for your II Department to meddle in other people’s business. Huo Xie, Lang Shao, bring him down.”

Huo Xie and Lang Shao grabbed Li Yao’s arms, but Li Yao sat there lazily, motionless. The two didn’t dare to act rashly, so they had to put Li Yao in shackles first.

Xu Hong’s face sank: “Lin Chen, don’t think I can’t do anything to you just because you have Commander Wei Luotong backing you.”

“As you wish.” Liang Huan raised his hand: “Take him away.”

“Wait.” A familiar voice came, and Lu Lian walked over with a large group of officers in suits.

Liang Huan narrowed his eyes unhappily.

“Minister Lin, Marshal Xuan Zhan and Deputy Marshal Yi Yuan jointly issued an order that Commander Qi Mingjing will personally conduct the trial on the case of Li Yao involving the Chuan Wu laboratory of the Dawn Project. You and Minister Xu Hong will be the deputy judges. In addition, there are twenty officers including me as jury members. The entire process will be recorded.” Lu Lian threw away a signed interrogation order jointly signed by Xuan Zhan and Yi Yuan, “During the trial, strictly ensure Li Yao’s personal safety. Before the crime is determined, a special order is issued to arrange for citizen treatment. No private interrogation shall be conducted in the capacity of a suspect.”

Liang Huan glanced at him and took the freshly printed formal paper document in his hand.

Xu Hong was mentally tense, and Lu Lian and the many officers behind him were also on high alert.

Liang Huan smiled slightly, folded the order with the seals of the two marshals, and lightly returned it to Lu Lian’s hand.

Lu Lian turned his head and signaled the people behind him to pick up Li Yao.

The people of the Silver Saddle Team behind Liang Huan immediately raised their guns, and the soldiers behind Lu Lian and Xu Hong also raised their guns. Lu Lian feigned composure and said, “Minister Lin, are you planning to resist the order?”

Liang Huan raised his hand and waved, and the Silver Saddle Team put down their guns. Huo Xie and Lang Shao opened the car door, and the two officers who got in the car saluted Li Yao before following him on either side.

Li Yao jumped out of the car, walked to Liang Huan with the people, raised his handcuffed hands, and said lazily: “Officer Lin, please.”

Liang Huan looked at him coldly for a long time and personally unlocked the shackles for him.

Li Yao shook his aching wrist and looked at him sympathetically: “I told you to shoot me earlier. Now you regret not listening, right?”

Liang Huan twitched the corner of his mouth: “I underestimated you. I’m willing to admit defeat.”

“Hey—wouldn’t it have been better to understand earlier.” Li Yao patted his shoulder with the wound fiercely and turned to leave. A group of officers in formal uniforms gave way to him, and followed him with great fanfare.

Liang Huan stood in place and watched him leave, raised his hand to dust off the dust on his shoulders.

Then he caught sight of the conspicuous oil handprint left on his military uniform.

Liang Huan: “…”

It was really difficult for him to find a place to wipe the oil when he got out of the car.

—

East 1 District, Military Building.

“Arrogant! It’s too arrogant! Does Lin Chen treat the military as his home?!” Xu Hong was so angry that his eyes were sparkling, banging on the table, “The entire military, three marshals and five commanders, how could it be his turn, a small Mecha Minister, to be the head of the house? So many people spent so much effort to invite Li Yao, this ancestor, out. He actually arrested him again without saying a word. This is simply playing with the lives of everyone in the Eastern District base! Li Yao has—”

Xu Hong’s voice stopped abruptly, and then shouted loudly: “He must be an alien spy! He’s going to destroy humanity!”

Qi Mingjing, sitting in the office chair, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: “Xu Hong, keep your voice down. It’s giving me a headache.”

Xu Hong sat back in front of the table indignantly, and Lu Lian handed a cup of tea to Qi Mingjing: “Commander, have some tea.”

Qi Mingjing had gray hair, wearing a pair of square glasses, looked gentle and refined. He took the tea, took a sip, and put it on the table: “Xiao Lu, is Li Yao all settled?”

Lu Lian nodded: “Yes, Li Yao lives in his old department on the nineteenth floor, but the Silver Saddle Team of Lin Chen’s department is responsible for guarding him.”

Qi Mingjing sighed: “What does Wei Luotong mean?”

“Commander Wei hasn’t made a statement yet. It seems that he’s letting Lin Chen do what he wants.” Lu Lian said in a low voice.

“Fuck his ancestors!” Xu Hong slapped the table and glared: “This matter is obviously Wei Luotong’s old dog instructing Lin Chen, the little dog. After Deputy Marshal Chen An disappeared, the position of Deputy Marshal has been vacant. He’s old enough to not want to retire, and he’s still thinking about going further. Why doesn’t he eat shit!”

Lu Lian leaned back slightly, Qi Mingjing frowned: “Xu Hong, pay attention to your words.”

Xu Hong leaned back with his neck choked and snorted.

Qi Mingjing was obviously a little worried: “Marshal Xuan Zhan has been ill for a long time and doesn’t take care of things. Deputy Marshal Yi Yuan has always been implicated in the accusations of the Dawn Project. Deputy Marshal Chen An has been missing for many years. The military has been without a leader for these years. It’s understandable that Wei Luotong has this idea.”

“Then there are five commanders, how can it be his turn!” Xu Hong cursed.

Qi Mingjing shook his head: “Two of the five commanders have retired due to functional disorders. Now the most core Mecha I Department of the military is in the hands of Wei Luotong. Even Marshal Xuan has to be afraid of him—Xu Hong, don’t always get angry with Lin Chen. The Mecha I Department is directly commanded by him. He also has a Silver Saddle Team. It’s just that he went too far this time.”

“The Silver Saddle Team is just a group of lunatics he raised.” Xu Hong was full of anger when he mentioned the Silver Saddle Team, “Huo Xie and Lang Shao are domineering and do all kinds of evil in the military all day long. Last time, they directly robbed the 2S-level mecha of the III Department. Are there any rules!”

—

“What is this?” Lang Shao looked at the life-size humanoid mecha in front of him and reached out to wipe the dust from its chest: “Damn, it seems to be called Small.”

“Ah?” Huo Xie came closer: “This small mecha is called Small?”

“Yeah, it’s engraved on it. There’s also a user manual in the cockpit. It loves to eat motor oil soaked in screws.” Lang Shao had a baby face and said softly: “This is Dawn Star’s good stuff. The IQ is not necessarily lower than us.”

“Go, go, it’s not necessarily lower than you, it’s definitely not as good as me.” Huo Xie knocked on the second head next to him: “It’s called Second, how do you start it?”

Lang Shao pressed a button randomly and blamed: “I told you to be gentle, you broke Dawn Star’s stuff.”

“The boss told us to kill. If I dare not listen, I’ll die.” Huo Xie handed a bottle of motor oil to Second’s mouth: “Hey, brother, do you want to drink?”

Second tilted his head, reached out to take the motor oil, smelled it, and drank it in a few gulps.

“He drank it, he drank it!” Several Silver Saddle Team members cheered in the back.

“Shh—” Lang Shao raised his index finger to his lips and lowered his voice: “The boss is resting. If you wake him up, he’ll kill you.”

A group of people immediately quieted down, staring enthusiastically at Second drinking motor oil.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a robot drink motor oil like people drink water.” Someone whispered, “Damn, the joint mobility is amazing. No wonder it can fight ten. Dawn Star is awesome. He can even make this.”

“Life-size mecha is even better, okay? There’s also an independent intelligent learning system. Damn, if you really fight, isn’t that two lives?” Lang Shao stabbed Small with a knife: “Hey, can you talk?”

Small rolled his eyes and pushed his knife away: “Get out of the way, I’m busy with reemployment.”

Lang Shao’s eyes widened in surprise, and Huo Xie squeezed him away: “Your dad is so awesome, what weapon system did he load you with?”

Small was shocked: “My dad? Who is my dad?!”

Second said quietly: “They mean master.”

Small instantly lost interest: “Oh, then he loaded me with a lot of weapon systems. If there wasn’t enough fuel, I could blow you up.”

Lang Shao and Huo Xie instantly became interested: “Compare?”

“No comparison.” Small sat cross-legged on the ground: “My dad got divorced, I’m in a bad mood.”

Lang Shao gossiped: “Then who is your mom?”

Small glanced at this group of stupid humans and snorted coldly from his nostrils. Second stepped forward to block it: “It’s young, don’t tease it. Come, I’ll play with you.”

Lang Shao stared at him suspiciously: “Can you fight?”

“No.” Second said.

Lang Shao was dissatisfied: “Then what can you do?”

Second calmly said: “Drink ten bowls of instant noodles flavored motor oil in one minute.”

Lang Shao: “…What?”

Huo Xie said faintly: “Why are the things Dawn Star makes all sick?”

Small suddenly jumped up and shouted angrily: “Who are you saying is sick?!”

When Liang Huan was awakened by the explosion, the sky outside was already dark. It took a lot of mental power to catch Li Yao. He finally fell asleep to rest, and was awakened again, in a terrible mood.

He walked to the window and saw in the training ground behind, seven or eight members of the Silver Saddle Team were fighting with a life-size humanoid mecha. Lang Shao was riding on its neck shouting, and others were holding the mecha’s hands and feet attacking wildly. Huo Xie was carrying a cannon to bomb it along with the mecha. A simple assistant robot next to it was screaming with its head in its hands…

Liang Huan closed his eyes, suspecting that he had fallen into mental power disorder again.

Five minutes later, Huo Xie led the people to stand in a row neatly. Liang Huan glanced at the small mecha facing away from him and the sighing humanoid assistant robot, and asked suspiciously: “What are you doing?”

“Officer, it slandered you.” Lang Shao said boldly, pointing to Small, “It insisted that you and Dawn Star divorced, abandoned your wife and son, and are a mix—cough cough, that what.”

Liang Huan: “…”

Small sneered: “Heh, bastard!”

Second quickly covered its mouth and said in a voice he thought was low: “We still have to be reemployed. What did the master say? Do you still want to get a formal position?”

Small then opened the mechanical sound unhappily, reading word by word: “Officer, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have insulted you, please forgive me, I really need a formal job, you know, we robots don’t have a dad and mom since we were young, very pitiful.”

Several members of the Silver Saddle Team were suppressing laughter.

Liang Huan: “…”

He suddenly missed the Third District Administrative Court a little.

Jin Bao, who was diligently cleaning, sneezed, scratched his head suspiciously, and picked up his small rag to continue mopping the floor.

After scolding the Silver Saddle Team, Liang Huan went to Wei Luotong’s office.

Wei Luotong’s office was on the eighth floor. When he went in, the other party was feeding birds. Seeing him come in, he smiled and put down the feeder, and greeted him: “Come on, Lin Chen, long time no see.”

“Commander Wei.” Liang Huan saluted him and glanced over the petite goldfinch locked in the cage, “Did you want to see me?”

Wei Luotong was wearing casual and loose home clothes. He motioned him to sit down, made him a cup of tea before slowly opening his mouth: “This time the movement has been a bit too big.”

Liang Huan said lightly: “I know, but the Chuan Wu laboratory incident is a good breakthrough. We can not only use Chuan Wu to arrest Li Yao, start Dawn Project II, but also use Chuan Wu to pry open Yi Yuan’s mouth and restart the trial of Yi Yuan.”

Wei Luotong pondered for a moment and said: “Lin Chen, I’m almost seventy years old. I don’t have much longing for the position of deputy commander. It’s better to do less than to do more. I now hope to see humanity survive.”

“Understood.” Liang Huan said, “I am largely responsible for the failure of the last copy plan.”

Wei Luotong shook his head: “No, you’ve done very well. After all, not everyone has the courage to give up everything and go to Dawn Star’s side as a spy. You not only successfully gained his trust, but also brought back a lot of valuable data and research reports. Now, I’m afraid even the information in Yi Yuan’s hands is not as detailed as ours.”

Liang Huan didn’t speak.

Wei Luotong looked at him inquisitively: “I just don’t understand, why do you have to target Li Yao? Cooperation with Yi Yuan is the best choice for us now.”

Liang Huan met his eyes and said calmly: “I suspect Yi Yuan is a high-level alien.”

Wei Luotong’s hand holding the cup paused, and he raised his eyelids to look at him: “Lin Chen, Yi Yuan is an old member of the military. You have to have a basis for your words.”

“Currently, I’m just suspicious, but Yi Yuan’s actions are very suspicious, whether it’s the human gene experiment in cooperation with Chuan Wu, or his repeated tolerance of Li Yao.” Liang Huan paused, “Of course, the most important thing is that he is now in control of the administrative court headquarters. If we cooperate with him, we will always be subject to others in the Eastern District base.”

Wei Luotong nodded: “That’s right, but this matter cannot be rushed. Now your most important task is to guard the Eastern Third District and seize the time to solve the big trouble of Li Yao.”

Liang Huan crossed his fingers and lowered his eyes: “Now too many eyes are staring at Li Yao. The copy plan is difficult to implement.”

Wei Luotong said: “You don’t have to worry about this. I will have people help you create opportunities. Dawn Project II is also signed by Marshal Xuan Zhan. It must be promoted no matter what. Humanity’s ability to get out of the current predicament depends entirely on you.”

Liang Huan nodded: “I understand, Commander.”

Wei Luotong suddenly looked at the scar on his hand: “How did you get this?”

Liang Huan released his hand: “I accidentally got injured when I was arresting Li Yao to test his mental power limit.”

Wei Luotong didn’t care: “Okay, you’ve been tired during this period of time, go back and rest well first.”

Liang Huan withdrew from the room. Mao Ming was waiting outside. The two looked at each other, and Mao Ming nodded inconspicuously.

Liang Huan glanced coldly at Wei Luotong’s office door and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Mao Ming helped him press the nineteenth floor.

“I heard that Li Yao has been sleeping in the detention room. The doctor checked his body and said there were no problems.” Mao Ming lowered his voice, “His mental power was detected to be B- and his physical ability to be S-, which is consistent with the data when he left the Third District Administrative Court. He should have a set of methods to deal with the detection.”

Liang Huan gently rubbed the gloves.

“Officer, Li Yao knows that you are Liang Huan of the Eastern Third District. If he tells Qi Mingjing about this, it may be detrimental to us.” Mao Ming reminded him.

Liang Huan said: “It doesn’t matter, I just want to talk to him.”

Ding— The elevator stopped on the nineteenth floor.

“Officer, all the monitoring equipment in Li Yao’s room has been switched.”

The elevator door opened.

The Silver Saddle Team responsible for guarding immediately made way obediently when they saw Lin Chen, but the other two teams belonging to Qi Mingjing and Yi Yuan glared at him and refused to let him pass.

Mao Ming unfolded a former family visit order with the marshal’s seal and the population matching center’s seal.

Lu Lian frowned: “What does this mean?”

Mao Ming said blankly: “If both parties in the military have had a marriage relationship, even if the marriage is dissolved, if one party is imprisoned for less than one year and there is no clear time, the other party has the right to apply for one hour of visits per week.”
