The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 535 The Curtain Falls (Part 2)

Interestingly, even though it's Della's mech, why do its tracks match the altitude point provided by Springer's sensor strip? Could their activity trajectories have become that similar?

However, judging from the damage to their mechs, the two men's experiences were clearly different...

Moreover, Springer's mech was severely damaged, and judging from the marks, it was very different from the mech that attacked her—even if it was the same type and level. Jiang Hui, as a mech pilot who had learned quite well and had now moved beyond the beginner level, had an extremely high level of sensitivity in this regard.

Ordinary people may not be able to do it, but for mecha pilots, mechas can "talk" and they don't lie.

Thinking of the obviously strange look in Della's eyes just now, Jiang Hui had an extremely absurd guess.

If someone bribed the exam organizers to arbitrarily adjust the parameters of their mechs and tamper with the mechs, wouldn't that mean someone could arbitrarily modify the equipment used in the exam, ultimately damaging or even replacing the data...?

There was something wrong with this guy Della no matter how you looked at him. Jiang Hui tended to trust his intuition, which led to the previous test, and sure enough, the guy was left-handed.

Jiang Hui recalled that the person who attacked her did indeed seem to be left-handed, but his right hand was also quite dexterous.

This person probably didn't want to leave any traces, so he simply destroyed both upper arms to destroy the evidence.

However, as a left-handed person, the other party is very sensitive to their own characteristics. Therefore, when Jiang Hui specifically mentioned that he was left-handed, the other party immediately became flustered.

While it wasn't to the point of throwing himself into disarray, it did make him begin to suspect that Jiang Hui had discovered something, otherwise she wouldn't have attacked him so recklessly...

Under Jiang Hui's persistent questioning, which seemed to insist on the truth, the other side's defenses were repeatedly pushed down, and they were immediately drawn into the trap.

Therefore, never get caught up in the vortex of self-justification, otherwise you may easily drag yourself down with you. The person in front of you is such an example.

Under Jiang Hui's almost pre-planned questioning, the other party quickly and completely accepted the fact that 'he had been discovered,' and frantically tried to prove his innocence.

The more they try to explain, the more unclear things become, because he himself is not exactly innocent.

Phillips's expression instantly turned extremely grim. He interrupted Imelda's question and preemptively asked Jiang Hui, "What do you mean by the mecha parameters being modified?"

Finally, we've gotten to this point. Jiang Hui has wanted to complain about this for a long time, but she hasn't had the chance to say it. Unexpectedly, someone has provided her with a perfect opportunity.

Jiang Hui then revealed that when he piloted the mecha into the water, he discovered that all the parameters of the mecha had been arbitrarily adjusted, as well as the mechanical joints of the rear wings, important connecting parts, and the hands and feet lurking in the leg pivot positions.

Jiang Hui was surprised to learn that the person behind the tampering was utterly inhuman. With such a mess, even with the best mecha, she'd likely suffer significant losses. The person who did this clearly didn't want her to pass the preliminary exam and achieve good results.

The fact that thugs were even arranged to follow behind in this situation, creating a chain of events, means that if she couldn't provide evidence, she would have been left with no recourse but to suffer in silence. The fact that she's managed to reconcile the situation to this point is entirely due to this twist of fate; anyone else would likely have been forced to suffer in silence or have no way to voice their grievances. After all, it's quite difficult to immediately clarify the entire matter and provide clear evidence of accusations after an incident has occurred.

"You can all send someone to check. Songbai still has the parameters they adjusted." This is definitely true, after all, she took the mecha issued by the exam organizers directly into the water, and then rushed all the way here and came ashore... Throughout the whole process, she had no time or space to adjust the mecha parameters. Therefore, the mecha retains the most original data, that is, the mecha parameters that she tampered with.

“Besides the students, there should be other students’ planes that have also been tampered with. I saw Taylor’s plane before, and its parameters should have been adjusted as well, but we still need to see the specific situation,” Jiang Hui added, referring to the control group she had found.

And although she said she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, she had actually seen pretty much everything. Jiang Hui swore that the person behind it all had definitely tampered with Taylor's mech, which was why it happened to run into the Chain Vortex mech and was reduced to dust. The other person was really unlucky, even worse off than her, and almost drowned.

But those two are already victims. There are nearly three hundred more victims, enough to fill a handful of hands, making it a major case involving a large group of people. Under these circumstances, a thorough investigation is impossible. Jiang Hui sincerely hopes that the military can eventually expose the forces behind this, or at least remove their spies within the military.

Otherwise, wouldn't all her losses have been for nothing?! Jiang Hui couldn't forget everything she had experienced today.

Jiang Hui hadn't expected to solve it immediately. He simply wanted to minimize the obstacles, processes, and time involved in the investigation. Even if it didn't affect the overall situation, he figured this person would be the focus of the investigation in the future.

All these strange occurrences immediately caught the attention of the judge. Instead of rushing to pack up and leave, the judge quietly ordered his men to inspect the remaining nearly three hundred examinees to see if many of their mechs had indeed been tampered with.

If that's the case, it's no longer just a private matter; it could be a major scandal in StarCraft this year.

Then Phillips, his face dark, personally led a team to investigate, looking quite furious. Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised; she had initially harbored a dark suspicion that this man might have also been involved…

In short, with this new lead, the case that was almost closed still could not be resolved.

After discovering that nearly twenty of the candidates' mechs had been tampered with, the officers, including Zong Ting, the judge, and even Phillips, who was already on the verge of exploding, all turned ashen-faced.

The group discussed something, and later decided to take them away in batches for questioning. In short, they were all detained.

Jiang Hui: ...This hatred has been stirred up, dragging so many people down with it for no reason. These people will definitely be hated to death in the future.

As the person in charge of this matter and an important witness, Jiang Hui must assist in the whole process; even if others don't go, she has to go.

Perhaps having been mentally prepared, Jiang Hui appeared quite calm when she was taken alone aboard the military's spaceship.

But halfway there, the other person suddenly turned to Phillips, who was standing in the distance with his arms crossed and a gloomy face, and said, "Sir, uh... I just want to know if this means I've passed the first test?"
