This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 65 Assassination! It's a big deal! (Please order first!)

"Mr. Dax, thank you for your hard work. Welcome to Silver Grey Star." Chen Songnan took the lead and said in standard interstellar language: "I am the head of the Xingchuang branch - Chen Songnan."

Qin Xiao and the others had subtle expressions.

Dax's voice was emotionless: "Have you arranged a place to stay?"

"It has been arranged. We will send you there after the welcome ceremony." Qin Xiao responded quickly.

"Don't waste time, just go." Dax said bluntly.

Qin Xiao's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded: "Okay."

Then, a series of ceremonies were cancelled, and hovercrafts landed one after another. Figures came out of the hatches one after another. Most of them looked indifferent, indifferent to everything around them.

Li Ming and his team were very close and could be said to have watched them get on the bus one by one.

Each of these big shots' personal bodyguards exuded an aura that frightened Li Ming; it was the pressure of a higher life form.

Li Ming also saw Fan Xiaofang, who had long wavy hair and was serious. She didn't look like she was nearly 40, but rather a young woman of 27 or 8.

Wang Zhiheng winked at the opposite side.

Li Ming was too lazy to care about it. He estimated that these people could not be the target. He waited a little longer...

Without seeing Professor Wu, he seemed not to be ready to come down for the time being, and naturally no one could force him.

After these big shots have passed, the next ones to come are the ordinary staff, who are their main responsibility to protect.

Click!

The tall female reporter was followed by a silver-white camera, her press card was propped up by her chest, and there was curiosity and scrutiny on her face.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until...

It was him. Li Ming's eyes condensed, he made some kind of gesture, and then suddenly rushed out, "Be careful!"

He shouted!
The female reporter's face was stunned. Before she could react, she saw Li Ming standing in front of her. Then there was a muffled sound and blood spurted out from his right arm.

With a thud, he and the female reporter fell to the ground together and rolled over.

Qin Xiao in the distance was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. Assassination! ?
Section Chief Wang, who was monitoring everything, was trembling with fear. He shouted in the channel, "Where are the bullets!? Where are the bullets!? Find them for me! Find them!"

"Seal off the scene! Protect them!"

Qin Xiao's face turned dark as he gave orders.

The hovercraft that was about to take off stopped, and the people who had already boarded got off one by one and returned to the spacecraft with frowns on their faces under the protection of the security team.

In front of the porthole, a thin figure wearing glasses looked through the glass at the young man who had fallen to the ground and was being protected by everyone in the center.

"Professor, this Silver Grey Star is rotten to the core." Someone behind him said, "We just arrived and someone tried to assassinate us. The security work is a mess."

"Why don't we cancel the party tonight?"

"No need." Professor Wu shook his head and watched the young man being carried away quickly. The female reporter looked worried, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "This Silver Gray Star seems to be more interesting than I thought."

"Remember to cooperate with the Silver Grey Star's security team at the banquet tonight."

"Them? A bunch of good-for-nothings, what good are they?" the person behind him disagreed.

"I'm not asking you." Professor Wu said lightly.

"Yes"

……

The oval irregular shrapnel peeled off from Li Ming's shoulder, and the flesh and blood rolled up and fell into the iron plate.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Removing the bullet was not difficult for him, but being stared at by a group of people around him was quite stressful.

"Is he okay?" the girl asked impatiently, holding her breath, her face full of worry, with a press card hanging around her neck - Xu Wei.

Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, her skin was delicate and fair, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail.

"It's okay. The bullet didn't hit any vital parts. Given his physical condition, he will be fine soon." The doctor stood up and said.

"Thank you." Xu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Ming with gratitude.

"This is what we should do." Li Ming shook his head. "Reporter Xu was frightened. It's our fault for not doing a good job of security."

"Damn it!" Wang Zhiheng walked in cursing, "What can we do? The brothers have tried their best, but the killer's level is far beyond ours. How can we find him!?"

"What a shitty security chief, he'll just throw you down when something goes wrong!"

"Captain Wang, have you found the person?" Li Ming asked. Wang Zhiheng glanced at Xu Wei beside him.

"Don't worry, there's no record." Xu Wei was used to this. "Although your security level is very poor, this is the limitation of a small place. I won't say anything nonsense."

Wang Zhiheng held his breath and said, "We didn't find anyone at all. When the brothers who were closest to him arrived, there was nothing left there."

"How could we easily find someone who dares to take action at this time?"

Li Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The one who took action was naturally the cripple. This was his plan.

We should not be afraid of thieves stealing, but we should be afraid of thieves thinking about it. Now the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light. Even if we are on guard for a thousand days, there will always be loopholes. We must find a way to force those people out, or make them afraid to take action.

Wang Zhiheng walked up to Li Ming and saw the flat-headed shrapnel in the iron plate. He couldn't help but pick up the disposable gloves next to him and pinched it.

"This type of bullet is not very common. I'll take it away first and see if there are any clues." Wang Zhiheng left in a hurry. Although there were no casualties among the key figures, it touched the nerves of many people.

In the next room, the atmosphere was dull. Chen Songnan's eyes were erratic, and he seemed to be smiling: "Guess who is the brainless one who did it?"

"Chen Songnan, what do you mean?" The fat man next to Qin Xiao immediately refuted: "Whoever is most afraid of the Interstellar Review Team will do it."

"Heh, although these people in the review team are just minor figures in the Interstellar Alliance, they also represent the reputation of the Interstellar Alliance. If something really happens to them, it will be a big trouble." Chen Songnan sneered, "Use your brain."

"Warning." Qin Xiao suddenly spoke, his eyes uncertain, "Maybe someone wants to say that at worst, everyone will die together."

The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone fell into deep thought. It was indeed true. If they really wanted to kill someone today, there would not be just this much noise.

Chen Songnan and Qin Xiao looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds--
This group of people is so cruel.

……

The door opened and everyone's faces changed slightly.

"Sir Dax..."

Li Ming also stood up. The person who came was Dax from the Interstellar Alliance Review Team. He was very tall, more than two meters tall, and looked down at everyone with a sense of oppression.

"Mr. Li Ming, I admire your courage and decisiveness." Dax ignored everyone and walked straight to Li Ming.

"This is my duty." Li Ming responded.

Dax nodded slightly: "Well, before coming here, I didn't have a good impression of Silver Grey Star, but you made me change my mind a little bit."

No one else dared to make a sound. Even Qin Xiao was not treated differently in front of this person.

"You're welcome." Li Ming felt that this guy spoke strangely.

"They are the Dekts. This race is born with an overwhelming sense of justice and extremely high moral standards. There are not even any laws on their home planet." After Dax left, Xu Wei explained, "I like people like you the most."

"Someone like me?" Li Ming thought thoughtfully.

……

boom!
The door was pushed open, and Qin Xiao and the others stood up subconsciously. Dax looked indifferent and said in a voice without any emotion: "I know that our arrival may have damaged the interests of some people present."

"However, we Dict people never accept threats. We hope that you will give up this thought as soon as possible and cooperate with our investigation. Those who are innocent will be cleared."

Several people looked at each other. Dax was sure that they were the ones who did it and even regarded them as a group.

"Sir Dax." Qin Xiao wanted to say something, but Dax didn't give him any face. He left a warning and turned away.

"It's all right now." Chen Songnan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Everyone, use your brains. Violence can't solve the problem."

"Chen Songnan, fuck you!" the fat man said rudely, "Stop pretending here!"

Chen Songnan's face darkened, but he remained composed and did not start scolding on the spot. He just snorted coldly, straightened his collar, and left.

In this eerie atmosphere, time quickly came to night, and on a sand dune somewhere outside Silver Ash City, a stone-skinned lizard was crawling rapidly and hit the air with a "bang".

He shook his head and looked up in confusion, then turned around and quickly fell into the desert.

“…That kid is really cautious. He has been hiding in the City Guard Building and has hardly come out.” Several people were discussing the plan.

"What's wrong with the intelligence above? How can they say that such a person poses no threat?" The short man complained: "If we had solved it last time, we wouldn't have to wait until now."

"Don't worry, he will come out eventually. We are in the dark and he is in the light. It won't matter if we take a little more time." The captain tapped his pipe, very patiently.

Since they started the cleansing mission, Li Ming was by no means the most difficult target to deal with.

After all, if you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?

The short man smiled and said, "It's good this way. Living in anxiety and guarding against threats from the dark, it's like having to sleep with your eyes open, not knowing when you will die. This feeling must be very uncomfortable."

Several people had faint smiles on their faces, and the gloomy man leaning against the bulkhead said:

"All in all, we should have the highest mission completion rate and the lowest destruction rate. Some time ago, the general manager even sent an internal letter praising us."

The short man agreed, "It's mainly thanks to the captain. He's steady and cautious, never rash, and never does it himself when he can take advantage of an accident to kill someone."

"You're really good at flattering people." The charming woman on the sofa sneered, and everyone laughed.

After a moment, a cold female voice sounded in the cabin, "Accessing the external communication signal, signal identification - Chief."

The expressions of several people suddenly became serious, and they looked at each other, quite surprised. What a coincidence? Is it another commendation?

Anticipation rose in their hearts.

The captain put down his cigarette, calmed himself down, stood up and answered the call.

However, as soon as the call was connected, a deep roar of suppressed anger came out: "What the hell did you do on Silver Gray Star!?"

　Thank you for your support!
