This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 113 Death of Fu Zongchen

He also didn't mind praising Li Ming. "Prince Baijan is also paying attention to you. If you go to the Itlan civilization, don't forget to visit Prince Baijan."

Li Ming smiled and nodded. The armored cabin closed, and flames spewed out from below, rising to the second floor. Li Ming glanced at its flight trajectory and memorized it in his mind.

Then, Fu Zongchen began to talk again, pacing back and forth and mentioning his political ambitions.

This post-inauguration banquet was essentially an act of winning over political allies.

It is impossible to say that he has no desire to become the chairman of the committee. The status of the head of a civilization is completely different, even if it is only a primary civilization.

To give the simplest example, the Black Hole Network will not accept any bounties targeting the heads of civilizations.

It is better to not accept it at all, rather than raising the reward price through other means.

Li Ming listened for a moment and said something to Qi Xing, who then pointed him in a direction.

Li Ming nodded and secretly switched the controlled object - [High Frequency Positioning Device]. This was something he got from the branch of Xingchuang Company. He has now upgraded it to D-level.

The ability is: [Location: Select a target and keep its position locked within a range of 1000m.]

After choosing Fu Zongchen, he walked into the toilet.

I closed the door and looked around. It was very clean and every place was extremely bright and shiny.

Turn on [Smart Assistance] and make sure there is no surveillance here.

Then he took out the cigar box in his arms, pulled out a cigar from it, peeled it open, and found that there was a black bullet wrapped inside.

Burn the cardboard completely and let the ashes fall into the toilet and flush down the drain.

He searched his right pocket again, took out an identical cigar, and put it into the missing space in the box.

He put away the cigar box, raised his hands, and a heavy super-electromagnetic sniper rifle appeared in his hands.

He stuffed the slender Night Chaser in from the loading port, and with the sound of the bullet clamping into the gun barrel, everything fit perfectly.

Li Ming took a deep breath, recalled the situation when he came here, looked at the crack in the door on the ground, and sensed Fu Zongchen's position.

He picked up the super-electromagnetic sniper rifle, almost without aiming, put the muzzle close to the ground, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Night Chaser, a custom-made bullet worth seven million, no, close to nine million including shipping costs, has both powerful power and various auxiliary functions.

The super-electromagnetic sniper rifle flashed with fluorescence, and was then covered by a cold darkness, starting from the end of the gun and gradually spreading to the entire gun body.

This was a strange scene. Li Ming had never heard that a bullet could change the color of a gun.

But all this was laid bare before him. It seemed as if it was accumulating energy. The dark body of the gun was trembling, and the dark color began to shrink from the butt to the muzzle, silently.

A pitch-black bullet was fired from the muzzle. Li Ming could hardly feel the recoil. There was also no sound, and there was no flash from the muzzle. This was -
Night chaser!
At the same time, the [Gunsmith]'s abilities [Bullet Sacrifice] and [Gun Fighting] are activated at the same time.

The power of [Justice Gauntlets] and the speed and cutting ability of [Prism Ion Sword] are enhanced.

In an instant, he felt as if his body was being drained away, and his field of vision also changed drastically, as if he was seeing the entire world in panoramic view.

He was not panicked at all. This was the ability of [Gun Fighting Technique]. The so-called changing of the bullet trajectory was essentially controlled by him personally, and the perspective of the bullets around him was slowed down many times.

He had tried it before, but the physical exertion this time made him daunted.

Without caring about anything else, he held his breath, concentrated, and controlled the movement of the bullet to pass through the gap.

All the power is accumulated in the bullet, and due to the influence of the built-in spoiler, the extremely fast flying speed only causes slight ripples in the air.

In the hall, Fu Zongchen was speaking passionately--
“…But I have the confidence and ability to make Blue Star a better place…”

He looked excited on the outside, but calm on the inside. As he spoke, he looked at the expressions of the people below.

Some people sneered, some were indifferent, and some were hostile to him, but he didn't care.

This was originally a speech to seek allies. After he expressed his desire to become the chairman of the committee, people with similar interests would naturally come to him after the banquet.

That idiot Sein...

He sneered in his heart, thinking, did he really think that if he worked diligently for Prince Baijan, he would get the due reward?

Being efficient in doing things can only win temporary favor. You must have your own value to make others not give up on you, and even turn you from a pawn into a collaborator!
He had understood this truth long ago. Over the years, he had used the power of the Baijan Prince to climb higher.

From a casual chess piece, to a rather important chess piece, and then to a rare chess piece.

This is also the reason why, even though he did not cooperate with Sayin to complete the so-called mission, Prince Baijan still treated him differently and even sent him armor.

His possibility of becoming the chairperson commissioner is valuable, even if it is not significant.

The Ysera civilization might be able to influence a civilization, but Prince Baijan is not enough.

He has a bright future. One day, he will trample everyone on Blue Star, even Prince Baijan, under his feet!

From a down-and-out person seeking political asylum to his current position step by step, Fu Zongchen firmly believes that he...

Um! ?

Suddenly, his voice stopped, and an indescribable fear arose in his heart, and a cold chill ran straight from his tailbone to his forehead.

The biological intuition coming from a C-class life form made him feel that a disaster was imminent.

Someone assassinated me! ?

His pupils contracted and he could vaguely see a black line approaching.

Fast, too fast!
He had almost no time to think about anything else and just wanted to move his body away, but he only shifted a little bit and the black bullet pierced his forehead.

Who, who is it?

Fu Zongchen did not die on the spot, and he was extremely frightened and unwilling at the same time. He did not want to die. He was in a prosperous political career, how could he die here! !

The tenacity of C-class life forms is far beyond the imagination of most people.

But the next moment, there was a loud bang, and his head exploded. Before the red and white things could scatter, the black super-gravity field caused a howling wind all around, which swept in the opposite direction and sucked the pieces of meat back.

A violent suction force came from it, and Fu Zongchen's lower body folded, condensed, and was swallowed up inch by inch.

At the same time, a bright blue barrier unfolded from half of Fu Zongchen's body, confronting the super-gravity gravitational field, making a crackling sound and gradually breaking apart.

All this happened in a flash, and shock and fear appeared on the faces of the other people present. Fu Zongchen... is dead?
They haven't reacted yet.

The moment before, Fu Zongchen was still talking loudly, sending all kinds of signals to them in an attempt to seek his own political allies, and the next moment he was shot in the head?
This indescribable shock was difficult to ease even though they had experienced many storms.

Under the threat of death, these old foxes could not remain calm. They retreated again and again, looking terrified and calling for bodyguards.

Bodyguards in every corner quickly rushed over to protect their employers and keep them away from the impact range of the super-gravity field.

Luochuan looked extremely solemn. He immediately looked around but did not find Li Ming.

"Li Ming! Li Ming!" he shouted loudly, looking anxious.

"Toilet!" Someone shouted.

Luo Chuan's figure quickly disappeared from the spot. He rushed open the toilet door and saw Li Ming lying on the floor with a pale face, gasping for breath and a dazed look in his eyes.

His face changed slightly, and he hurriedly helped Li Ming up, making sure he had no injuries. He kept asking what happened, but Li Ming couldn't say a word.

Outside, alarms rang out, chaos reigned, and the high-ranking officials looked grim, all preparing to leave. "No one can leave!" With a loud shout, a burly figure blocked the door.

"Zhu Yunshen, what are you doing? Why are you stopping us!?" a middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice, without any fear.

"Someone assassinated a candidate for committee member. No one can leave until the matter is clarified!" Zhu Yunshen said sternly.

"What do you mean? Do you suspect we did it?" Faced with the threat of death, no one cared about the official rank. Someone immediately refuted: "We don't know where the assassin is hiding, and we don't know what methods he has. Do you want to bury us all here?"

"I said, no one can leave!" Zhu Yunshen didn't care, and then a large number of city guards rushed in and guarded every place.

At the location where Fu Zongchen is, the supergravity field is gradually fading.

With a snap, the condensed flesh and blood fell down and blood flowed.

"Anyone who dares to leave will be killed without mercy!" Zhu Yunshen was furious. This assassination was too weird.

This is the best villa area on Blue Star. There are no high-rise buildings within dozens of kilometers. The defense is tight. How could bullets be shot in?

"Hmm?" Zhu Yunshen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he found Luo Chuan helping Li Ming out of the toilet, and immediately asked, "What happened to him?"

"An old problem." Luo Chuan said perfunctorily.

There was no movement in the hall for a long time. The city guards had blocked all the exits with stern expressions.

Some emotional officials also calmed down and realized that they could not conflict with these city guards, so they found a place to sit down without being exposed to the public.

His eyes would occasionally fall on the ball of flesh that Fu Zongchen had turned into, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

These senior officials are at least D-level life forms, and some are even C-level life forms, but they cannot guarantee that they are stronger than Fu Zongchen.

If that bullet had hit them, their fate would probably be even worse than Fu Zongchen's.

Who is it?

After the shock, there came endless questions, and the suspect that subconsciously emerged in my mind was - Wu Yanqing.

It is well known that Fu Zongchen has been targeting Wu Yanqing recently.

But they immediately rejected it, as Wu Yanqing was not in Jingnan at all.

The prime suspect has been ruled out, and there are too many other suspicions to go around.

Who here doesn't have a few enemies?

But there are not many people who have the ability to assassinate a C-level life form.

Everyone thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more it seemed that everyone present was a suspect.

"Minister, no external bullet holes were found."

"Minister, the surveillance footage has been retrieved, and we are reversing the trajectory based on the location of the bullet hole in Commissioner Fu's head."

"…The bullet was moving too fast, and the surveillance camera didn't capture any traces at all…"

News came one after another, Zhu Yunshen frowned, wondering how there could be an assassin of this level.

The speed of the bullet was indeed too fast, and no one in this scene could react.

"The prototype of the bullet has been found, the Night Chaser, the super-gravity gravitational field..." A subordinate came to report, holding a virtual projection, but was also confused.

"This bullet is indeed powerful, but it doesn't have that much power because the main structure is in the super-heavy gravitational field inside."

"Commissioner Fu has an ultra-fast reaction barrier on him. It's impossible that he can't react in time."

"Is it because of the firing of the gun?" Zhu Yunshen asked back.

The on-site analyst shook his head: "No, this kind of bullet will detonate the super-gravity field after hitting the target, so it cannot be subjected to any excessive collision, and there will never be much boost when the firearm is fired."

"Minister, General Ren Cangsong is here." A city guard hurried in to report.

Zhu Yunshen finally seemed relieved, as if he had found a backbone.

Then, a group of people came in, moving decisively. The leader had white hair and beard, a solemn expression, and a kind of majesty.

"General Ren Cangsong." Everyone at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a Class B life form. With him around, we should be safe.

Ren Cangsong looked around and his eyes fell on the meat ball. His expression visibly darkened. "Very good. This committee member was killed less than three hours before his inauguration ceremony. This is simply a naked provocation."

"General, this is a summary of the current clues." Zhu Yunshen handed over a document.

Ren Cangsong lowered his head and glanced at it, reading line by line, his face turned ashen.

“…Can’t find the trajectory based on the ballistic inversion?” Ren Cangsong suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: “How do you city guards do things!?”

"This..." Zhu Yunshen looked embarrassed.

"Forget it, let my people come and hand over all the data." Ren Cangsong waved his hand, and the city guards looked at each other with unhappy expressions.

Zhu Yunshen was helpless.

Ren Cangsong looked around and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will conduct a preliminary survey. After I know the general situation, I will let you go."

Time passed by minute by minute, and Ren Cangsong seemed to notice something and walked to the corner.

"You're here too?" He sounded a little surprised.

"General." Luo Chuan nodded.

"What's wrong with him?" Ren Cangsong then noticed Li Ming, who was pale and almost unable to speak.

"Something unexpected happened, there were genetic changes." Luo Chuan explained calmly.

Ren Cangsong nodded and said, "Let someone check it out later."

After a while, Ren Cangsong's men came forward and whispered a few words.

Ren Cangsong, who had been calm at first, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "You haven't found the trajectory of the ballistic missile either!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the senior city guards who had gathered together smiled at each other and quickly withdrew.

"How come we can't find the trajectory of the bullet? Could it be that this bullet appeared out of thin air?"

Ren Cangsong's men explained helplessly: "There is no hole in the wall. There is no hole in the entire wall. The glass is not broken, unless the bullet was fired from the villa."

After a while, Li Ming finally had some strength to speak, but he was still dizzy.

This consumption was too great, it actually drained me dry. He was a little scared. If the distance was farther, he would be drained to death.

"This... this... what happened?" He uttered a few words with difficulty and looked at the meat ball that Fu Zongchen had turned into, "What is that?"

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Luo Chuan's face: "That's... Fu Zongchen."

"What?" Suspicion, astonishment, and a slight smile quickly disappeared on Li Ming's pale face.
