This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 158 Torch: Yes, we did it!

"Hmm?" Ford looked a little confused.

Ren Cangsong quickly added: "The dimensional spirit appeared for the first time and remotely controlled the Torch Organization members to kill Sein."

"After interrogating members of the Torch Organization, we learned of his existence. There are two possibilities. One is that he is a powerful psychic."

Ford's heart moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "The Wing Shadow Fleet is equipped with a mind-blocking device, and no mental fluctuations were detected."

Ren Cangsong paused for a moment and said, "That's the second possibility. The other party is indeed some kind of powerful dimensional creature. Through sacrifice, the Torch Organization members can communicate remotely with the people they choose, or give various instructions."

Li Ming looked surprised that he had guessed this way, but it was also quite reasonable.

Ren Cangsong speculated: "I suspect that there should be members of the Torch Organization in the battleship, who made this happen through the cooperation of the dimensional gods and Coyle."

"If that's the case, then there's an explanation, which is why Coyle was able to see through all of Isius's arrangements."

Ford seemed to be thinking about something. Li Ming was slightly surprised. These people had almost guessed it right.

If we change the dimensional god into him and remove the so-called Torch Organization member who is colluding with the insiders and the outsiders, the truth will be revealed.

"Then arrest everyone and conduct a memory screening!" Morico's method was still simple and crude.

Ford frowned. "All the soldiers in the battleship must be controlled, but the memory screening is something that needs to be considered in the long run."

"Is there any need to think about it? The one who died is His Highness Isius!" Morico said in a deep voice.

Ford snorted coldly, "Do you know who Isius's adjutant is? He is the grandson of Grand Duke Carterhill. Do you know how many people with backgrounds are in his personal guard?"

"Besides, the command channel is shared. All the people on the remaining frigates are suspects, including the captain, not just the frigate Isius is on."

"With so many people affected, who would dare to propose this? Who would implement this proposal?"

Morico's expression changed slightly, "It was I who died..."

"I know it was Isius who died!" Ford interrupted rudely, "That's why I tolerate your endless nonsense here."

Ford was also very upset. He wanted Isius to die, but not in this way.

He was the supreme commander after Isius was kidnapped. No matter what the outcome of Isius' death, he needs to bear a considerable part of the responsibility.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because Isius joined Princess Asmara, many high-ranking members of the royal family had complaints about him.

Hunting down Coyle was entirely Isius's own decision, and this outcome was partly his own fault.

"No matter what, this matter must have an answer. Until the truth comes out, I will keep an eye on you." Morico couldn't argue with Ford, so he just gave up.

"You're staring at us?" Ford said with a wry smile, "What qualifications do you have to stare at us?"

"You think you're not a suspect?"

"We were ordered to chase Coyle and stay away from the warship, so naturally we are not a suspect." Morico explained with a frown.

Duke Bai Ye quickly agreed, "Yes, we were not on the battleship when Coyle attacked."

He didn't want to get caught in this vortex, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

"Haha..." Ford sneered, "That's exactly why, Morico, as Isius's personal bodyguard, what are your responsibilities? Who asked you to hunt down Coyle?"

"It's Isius..."

"Even if it was Isius's order, you could choose not to listen. If you didn't leave, Isius might not be killed." Ford's eyes moved sideways and fell on Duke Bai Ye.

"As for you, Duke Bai Ye, when the Torch's men attacked, no one saw you take action."

"Why are you so proactive this time? You two completely healthy people left the battleship, but left three seriously injured people here. It's hard to say that you didn't do this to create opportunities for them."

Duke Bai Ye's face changed. "Your Highness Ford, please don't spit blood at me. The reason I went there was because of your pressure."

Ford ignored him and just said, "This is an emergency. After I report it, the Yitlan civilization will naturally send someone to investigate and verify it."

"Please do not frame others at will, or you may suffer the consequences."

"I am willing to submit to memory review!" Morico insisted, "I hope others will do the same."

Not to mention Chen Jinglong and others, even Duke Bai Ye looked very unhappy.

Everyone has little secrets and quirks. Some things cannot be told to others even after death.

Ford shook his head. Morico didn't understand anything. With the death of Isius, the Itlan civilization would inevitably be furious.

But this matter is not a matter of thundering wrath. Once an order is given, everyone will cooperate obediently.

There are six B-class life forms and a large number of fleet soldiers present. We cannot arrest all of them for forced interrogation.

Isius was killed by members of the Torch Organization.

The Itlan civilization was helpless against the torch, but they killed their friendly forces. If this were to get out, the Itlan royal family would lose face.

More importantly, there must be innocent people among them. After forced memory screening, will they be full of resentment towards the Itlan civilization?

It is obvious that it is adding fuel to the flame, so it is an extremely troublesome thing.

It is even said that the royal family has to be wary of Princess Asmara taking advantage of the death of Isius.

Ford felt his head throbbing.

"Although this matter is an internal matter of the Itlan civilization, Blue Star is willing to assist in the investigation and provide all conveniences." Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke.

What's going on inside the Itlan civilization? Ford felt something was wrong, and then looked at Chen Jinglong in astonishment.

This old guy doubts himself? No, he wants to put the blame on himself!

Duke Bai Ye immediately agreed, "Yes, we are willing to assist in the investigation. No matter what, His Highness Isius sacrificed himself for the public."

"The whole matter was commanded by Isius and His Highness Ford. Although we are just watching, we are willing to assist." Ren Cangsong also added.

Fuck, Ford cursed in his heart, these people are so quick to pass the buck.

Ren Cangsong was also helpless. After all, Ixus was on Blue Star, and they would be affected to some extent, so he could only pass the blame on.

"You don't have the final say on this matter." Ford snorted coldly, "First, control all the soldiers on the battleship and search thoroughly. The subspace folding ring cannot disappear out of thin air."

Ford didn't want to continue talking nonsense and quickly gave orders.

Li Ming watched the whole process without saying a word. After all, he was just a small D-level life form.

Since the remaining Itlan soldiers are basically suspects, we can only use Blue Star’s personnel to control them.

There were a lot of soldiers on the warships, and a lot of city guards were temporarily transferred to provide assistance. Many people were secretly very surprised.

The battleship where Isius was was turned upside down, but nothing was found. Ford didn't believe it and even wanted to dismantle the battleship.

And the death of Isius gradually began to ferment.

.........

The Torch Organization's fleet shuttled through the stars. Outside the portholes, the starlight was stretched into intermittent lines.

"leader."

A slim woman in tight combat clothes came over holding a smart terminal. "The information has probably been sorted out. We have indeed found the technical information on the fusion of sublimation particles." The torch leader's expression moved slightly. He took the smart terminal, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"This adventure is definitely worth it."

“That’s right.” The woman whispered, “We just don’t know who the anonymous informant is. We have conducted reverse tracing, but found nothing.”

"No matter who he is, he has his own purpose. This is a win-win situation." The Torch Leader was calm.

At this moment, another subordinate came hurriedly, with a hasty look on his face, and shouted from a distance: "Chief, Chief, there is news about Coyle."

"Coyle?" The torch leader was slightly shocked, then frowned and sighed: "Was he also captured?"

"Coyle is full of hatred for the Itlan civilization and will never betray it," the woman beside him added.

While the two were talking, the subordinate who came to report had already approached, looking excited: "No, no, leader... Coyle, the Fireworks Master, kill Isius!"

"What!?"

The torch leader was shocked, and then something incredible emerged in his mind. He snatched the smart terminal from the other party's hand, and his pupils dilated slightly.

"Coyle killed Isius?" The woman was even more incredulous. "When was the news released? How could he have done it?"

The subordinate was extremely excited: "Just five hours ago, all the remaining soldiers of the Itlan Wing Shadow Fleet were controlled. We lost several fire seeds to pass on the news."

"Escape the blockade, lure the tiger away from the mountain, turn around and attack, Coyle, he actually has this ability..." The Torch Leader murmured in a low voice, looking at the general information, feeling more and more bizarre.

He paused as he swiped his fingers, "The gods of this dimension..."

Hearing this, the intelligence officer seemed puzzled. "We haven't figured it out either. This intelligence seems to be top secret. There are only a few words. However, it seems to involve the death of Sein of the Sera civilization."

"They seem to believe that the dimensional spirits helped Coyle escape and attacked and killed Isius."

"Chief, are dimensional gods real?" the intelligence officer asked with a little anticipation.

"Dimensional god?" The Torch Leader frowned. He felt puzzled. Where did this dimensional god come from?
But Coyle was able to play tricks on the Itlan civilization with the help of the dimensional gods, and even killed Isius. If he denied it...

The Torch Leader immediately rebuked: "This is the organization's top secret, don't pry into it casually. Also, always pay attention to the news of the gods in this dimension. I want to know what they have mastered."

"Understood." The intelligence officer left excitedly.

"Killing Isius, this operation is not too bad." The Torch Leader did not expect that the situation that was originally a huge loss was turned around by Coyle alone.

"This matter needs to be publicized!"

.........

In Asmara's secret research base, electric sparks were flying in the room, there were charred marks everywhere, and the surrounding metal walls were dotted with torn holes.

The bodies of the experimenters were scattered everywhere, and their blood spread on the floor, mixing with various liquid mixtures.

Asmara stood in the center, her delicate face expressionless and her whole body emitting a depressing cold aura.

"Your Highness, the experimental data has been looted, and the bodies have been counted. There are a total of 2,342 bodies, and 16 people have been taken away." The subordinates in combat armor came to report.

"In addition, based on the enemy corpses we found, we can be sure that it was the Torch Organization that did it."

"Torch." Asmara spoke in a cold voice, "How did they know the coordinates here?"

No one responded. Wu Yanqing stood in the corner, looking around.

"Are the three of Balzac here?"

The subordinate responded quickly: "Sir Bazak has not been contacted yet, and the other two are on their way."

boom!
A huge stream of black particles burst out, and the subordinate flew backwards and embedded himself in the wall.

"No contact." Asmara turned around, his expression cold and lonely: "Find him for me!"

"Yes!" the subordinate said with difficulty.

With the sound of armor joints rubbing against each other, a man walked over quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, I just received news that His Highness Isius was killed by Coyle."

Wu Yanqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, an even more violent particle flow shot up into the sky, instantly tearing the surrounding metal walls apart, making unpleasant creaking sounds and forming a reverse storm that took a long time to subside.

Asmara's expression was icy, his eyes were like black holes, swallowing up the light around him. After a long while, he finally uttered two words: "Waste!"

The men hurried forward and presented the intelligence information to Asmara.

Asmara glanced at him and frowned, which was unusual for him. "Wu Yanqing, come and take a look."

"Yes." Wu Yanqing walked forward expressionlessly, took a closer look, and was quite surprised.

The moment he heard of Isius's death, he suspected that Li Ming was responsible.

However, there is almost no trace of Li Ming in this information, and his presence is extremely low.

The only thing he could think of was the disappearance of the Subspace Folding Ring.

"Very strange." Wu Yanqing seemed puzzled. "On the surface, Ford seems to be a big suspect."

"However, it may be that the other party deliberately framed him, but he may also have the idea of ​​pushing it forward in his heart."

Asmara was noncommittal, "It's no coincidence that I left and Isius died."

"I want to find out who leaked the coordinates here!"

……

The death of Isius was like a thunderbolt in the long-silent Silver Star Cluster. Like a storm, it instantly swept through all the civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster.

The Torch organization soon issued a statement announcing that they were responsible for Isius's death.

The Itlan civilization severely criticized and called for the organization of a coalition to encircle and kill the Torch Organization.

Many civilizations in the Silver Cluster were quite shocked. Isius was one of the highest-ranking people killed by the Torch Organization in recent years.

For a moment, the silver star cluster was in turmoil.

……

three days later

"Yes, father, I understand." Ford looked solemn. On the virtual screen, Prince Baijan's face was solemn.

"This matter has a huge impact, and you are the direct person in charge."

"This is what Isius deserves." Ford said helplessly.

"That's true, but after all, he was killed after you took over." Prince Baijan said in a deep voice.

Ford hesitated to speak, looking frustrated.

"However, you don't have to be too stressed. Isius was arrogant and rashly hunted for B-level life forms, which led to him being attacked and killed." Prince Baijan comforted him, "You just need to stick to this point."

"Isius is not likable either, not many people will speak up for him."
