Alien Executioner

Area 3, FACA headquarters building.

In the central command hall, Sister Tang sat in the middle of the hall, looking up at the huge CNC screen, where detailed data about the first district was firmly controlled. She personally organized this operation without asking the An family siblings for permission in advance.

Everyone in the Countermeasures Bureau knew that Sister Tang had a special identity. As the chief of intelligence, she was equivalent to An Ran's successor, so the operation went smoothly without worrying about internal obstacles. An Xin did not have too many opinions, and An Ran even called to ask if everything was going well.

Sister Tang caressed the gray and white little octopus lying in her arms. The subordinates were no longer surprised and thought it was probably a doll or a small pillow.

"Your action was very sudden, and the Federal Parliament is very dissatisfied." Someone behind him said.

Sister Tang lowered her head and looked at him:

"Those parliamentary masters don't want Tanania to be destroyed. There are many interests involved behind this. Moreover... they don't want the An family to dominate. But what's the use? They are just deceiving themselves. What in the world can compete with the An family?"

Zhou Bowen looked up at the screen. "You made a decisive decision to let An Xiao be the beheader. She is the most suitable candidate. If she were here, the An family would definitely pay attention to this operation and even make use of An Ran. This is not like you in the past. You have changed a lot."

"The Supreme Council asked you to come. They found that Advisor Zhu was ineffective, so they recruited you." Sister Tang said calmly.

"It's not a matter of winning me over, because they didn't succeed. To me, the An Family and the Supreme Council are no different. No matter what means they use to try to win me over, the end result is failure. I won't stand on either side."⑧

Zhou Bowen said slowly: "If I have to take sides, I will choose humans."

"I finally understand why Li Fei hates you so much." Sister Tang said the name of the dead man.

Although Li Fei died, her cause of death was declared to be sacrifice, and no details related to the alien species were revealed. The former chief of the intelligence department was a hero, at least that's what all those who didn't know thought. Her name was not a taboo and was often mentioned in the headquarters.

"Li Fei hates me?" Zhou Bowen was stunned.

"She complained to me more than once. After all, I was her closest direct subordinate at that time."

Sister Tang shrugged:

"She thinks you're stupid, like the knights in ancient Western times who were really too much, neither cunning nor flexible. For the kings to whom these knights are loyal, they are indeed a handy weapon, but they are only used to kill enemies. Without external enemies, they are useless because politics is very dirty. A true knight may seem to be loyal to the king, but in fact he is loyal to justice, but the kings often don't like the justice of the knights."

"You think I'm that kind of knight."

"It's not me, it's Li Fei. She thinks you're too upright. You're the sword and shield that shoulders the justice of mankind. Your sword will clear away the enemies of mankind, and your shield will block the threats of mankind. And you're quite fair. But the executor is only a sword, not a shield."

Sister Tangba is another blame. Wu Ba paused, sighed and said:

"Besides, the enemies and threats of mankind sometimes come from within, don't they? To 'those' people, you are actually a trouble, especially to Li Fei. She is very afraid of you because you cannot be bribed, so she has tried to get you out of office more than once, but An Ran saved you every time."

"I'm not sure about that." Zhou Bowen thought deeply and shook his head.

"Of course you don't know. How can I let you know? The worst thing about Li Fei is that she is good at making active connections. She is An Ran's direct subordinate, and the Intelligence Department is the only department that Director An can directly dispatch. Otherwise, he would be a commander without any troops. So he attaches great importance to Li Fei, and Li Fei just takes advantage of this."

"She has submitted special documents more than once, all of which are picking on you. In fact, these are irrelevant. What's important is——"

Sister Tang's tone suddenly changed. In that instant, she looked more mature than Li Fei in the past. It was hard to believe that she was only 26 years old. The section chief seemed to have been prepared. He took out a dusty file bag from under the chair, sealed with a top-secret red seal with the SS logo.

The moment he saw the file bag, Zhou Bowen's eyes flashed with surprise and panic, which was rare.

"You must know what this is."

Sister Tang slowly placed the file bag on the table and tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, making a regular sound.

"The SS-level top-secret files record almost all the secret history from a hundred years ago. No one except the Director-General and the four major halls has the right to open them. Otherwise, they will be dismissed by the Federal Supreme Council. This is also the only reason they are allowed to interfere with the appointment and dismissal of executive officers, because the Supreme Council and the military do not want this history to be known to others."

Zhou Bowen nodded calmly.

"Well, only the Director General is qualified to review the SS-level top-secret files, because she is a well-deserved leader who must be respected by the military and the Federal Parliament. The Four Great Halls are actually not qualified either, but the Supreme Council can only turn a blind eye due to the prestige of the halls."

"But you tried to read it and succeeded." Sister Tang looked into his eyes.

"How did Li Fei know?" Zhou Bowen did not deny it.

"You forgot that Li Fei is the only duty director of the Hub. You must have seen an office when you sneaked into the archives. That was Li Fei's second office. She has always been a very special person. She placed a lot of monitoring equipment in the archives. These devices use storage power and old stereotypes. They are not connected to the network, so even Zero doesn't know about it."

Zhou Bowen stared at the file bag on the table and couldn't think of anything to refute. The documents inside might still have his fingerprints on them.

"Li Fei once tried to use these videos to get the Federal Parliament to remove you, but An Ran deleted them all." Sister Tang smiled, "Don't worry, I deleted the backup videos too. Li Fei is dead, no one knows."

"You are terrible." Zhou Bowen's face finally changed color, "You are here to convince me on behalf of the An family."

"I just want to make a deal with you. After all... I also need some power of my own. The An family is just a backer, but this backer will crush me sooner or later." After Sister Tang finished speaking, she opened the red seal on the file bag under Zhou Bowen's surprised gaze.

"You are not here to settle down, you are here for yourself." Zhou Bowen understood.

"I know why you are looking through these top-secret cases. It's because of your son." Sister Tang's casual words made his pupils shrink.

"You have read four top-secret files in total, three of which are related to half-humans. The combination of alien species and humans can actually produce offspring, but they must be female alien species. The womb of a human mother cannot bear a hybrid fetus and will be torn to pieces alive. After birth, these half-human children rarely live past the age of twelve, just like Li Fei's daughter Gu Zhilan."

"You wanted to know how to solve the lifespan problem of half-human children. When you saw Gu Zhilan's successful case, you even thought about joining Li Fei. That's why you turned a blind eye to Li Fei. You are actually not righteous."

Zhou Bowen sighed, took the file and read the top-secret files page by page. He had secretly read these documents in the past, but this time he read them openly. There were many signatures of famous executives in the past.

His face looked increasingly uglier, he was twitching uncontrollably, and his hands began to tremble.

The top-secret file that Sister Tang took out was not the three files related to the half-human child, but...

Fourth piece.

"This is the fourth top-secret file you have read, and it is also the reason why you did not join Li Fei."

Sister Tang looked at him:

"This is the secret history of Tang Qiu, and it is also the thing that the federal government is most reluctant to recall. The first director was not a traitor at all. They should have destroyed this file, but it was saved by the Black Goat Deacons headed by Li Fei. This world is terrible, isn't it? The truth is in it. The Federal Supreme Council, the An Family, Tananiya, and all the forces that maintain the stability of this world, the Shang Clan are everywhere."

"I was shocked when I saw this file," Zhou Bowen whispered.

He raised his head and directed all the civilian staff in the command hall to stop what they were doing and look over here.

It was as if... they had already become Sister Tang’s people.

"Do you think Tang Qiu lost?" Sister Tang looked directly into Zhou Bowen's eyes. "Even though she rushed towards the enemies without hesitation, she ended up being written as a traitor. The world sang praises to the white butterfly, while the corpses of the black goat were scattered all over the mountains and withered and broken."

"You want to convince me to be a Black Goat Deacon like Wang Feng." Zhou Bowen closed his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.

After a long time, he gave his answer:

"If that fate really exists, then there is no winner or loser, everyone loses."

"Yes, it's such a simple truth, but those monsters in the An family and the manager of the flower shop don't know it." Sister Tang shook her head.

"What about you? Chief Zhou, what choice will you make after reading this top-secret file?" Sister Tang narrowed her eyes and asked cunningly while closing the opened file and putting it back into the file bag.

Seeing that Zhou Bowen had not answered yet, she continued casually:

"Your son will be eleven years old soon, right? I think it will be... next week? Yes, next week. I have prepared some gifts. I would like to trouble Section Chief Zhou to deliver them for me. I won't have time to meet him."

Sister Tang tapped the table gently as a hint. Zhou Bowen opened his eyes and noticed a glass tube filled with golden blood under the file bag.

"How do you have the blood of the ancient gods?" Zhou Bowen lowered his voice and couldn't stop trembling.

"Of course I can't get it. This is diluted blood of the ancient gods. Wang Feng has a lot of it." Sister Tang said in a slightly seductive tone, "It's very safe after dilution. It won't turn an eleven-year-old child into a monster. But it can improve his damaged Devouring Sorrow, saving him the trouble of transplanting it."

"Oh, by the way, don't let him know that it's a gift from my sister. I don't like hearing children call me sister." Sister Tang clapped her hands.

After a long silence, Zhou Bowen chose to grab the glass tube.

Sister Tang then handed over an opaque paper package and said softly, "This will help you."

Zhou Bowen felt the outline inside the paper packaging, which looked like a mask. He raised his head and met Sister Tang's eyes.

Those purple eyes belonged to the black goat.

“How many people are on your team?”

"Counting you, the sixth one still alive."

"To change fate by dying?"

"That would be gorgeous, wouldn't it?" Sister Tang stroked the little octopus in her arms and sighed, "It would be even better if I could live to see that day."

"One last question." Zhou Bowen paused, "Is this octopus you've been touching Shang?"

As soon as the voice fell, Sister Tang's hands trembled. It turned out that Xiu Yameier in her arms opened her eyes, and the dancing tentacles of the atmosphere.

"You're the octopus! Your whole family is octopus!"

……

"The Black Goat is back."

"Black goat? Hehehe..."

"Hey, where's your mom? What does the Black Goat's return have to do with us? Hurry up and find a way to rescue Ronnie!"

In a mahjong hall somewhere, a few young boys were playing mahjong and keeping an eye on news from all over the world.

They sighed in worry. There is still no news of Ronnie, the only sewer lord who has recovered a little strength.

The assassination attempt on An Ran has not returned yet.

They guessed that the Lord of the Sewer was probably captured by An Ran. Fortunately, its breath did not disappear, which was good news.

Chapter 92: Gaze into the Abyss (XVIII)

The lights in the theater went out, and it fell into an eerie darkness. Rapid breathing could be vaguely heard.

The executive team encountered a little trouble. These alien upstarts on the encirclement list seemed to have been waiting for a long time. They seemed to know the arrival of FACA and were fully prepared. When the lights went out and returned to darkness, the monsters' deep red eyes shone.

An Xiao responded quickly and gave the formation order, and the elite soldiers distributed themselves along the exit to ensure the safety behind them as much as possible.

Countless red eyes lit up in the huge theater, and every pair of eyes belonged to an alien species. Hundreds of alien upstarts were hiding among them, making sarcastic, mocking, and sharp laughs.

An Xiao tried to get Zero to wake up the lights but failed. All the lights had been destroyed, which was quite disadvantageous for the executive officer. She exchanged a glance with the adjutant. The executive officer in the front row put on a searchlight cap, and a strong beam of light penetrated the darkness in the center. Sad dust fell in the beam, and dozens of figures shuttled back and forth.

"Viper, Viper, report your situation. Why is the image feedback blurry?" Commander-in-Chief Tang's voice came through the headset.

"We have arrived at the theater. Hundreds of targets are present. They have not fled. The situation is very delicate now."

An Xiao's gaze moved around with the tactical searchlight. With a wave of his hand, the range of the light was fixed. The other party stood upright in the strong light without dodging, vaguely showing the steady leadership posture of Mount Tai.

"All the light sources have been destroyed. Now the interior of the theater is the home of the aliens. They are waiting for us to pass by. There must be a trap."

"Understood. Asuka Group 4 and Sea Whale Group 5 have successfully invaded the top floor of the theater. It is estimated that all the waiters will be dealt with in four minutes. Do not act rashly and wait for their support from above."

"What's the situation with the alien in front of me?" An Xiao narrowed his eyes. The man shrouded in the strong light did not move.

"Wait a minute, Zero is giving feedback... Damn it! He's a super alien, the head of the Tandin family, and the Tandin family used to be a vassal of the Tananiya family. His code name is the Earl in White, and it seems that he wants to fight to the death with you after revealing his identity this time." Sister Tang said.

"I'm not worried about a life-and-death fight, I just want to know how many super aliens there are. I must ensure the survival of these elites. Before I came here, I promised my brother that the leader of the operation must pay great attention to the safety of the team members."

"Is this something An Ran would care about?" Sister Tang was surprised.

"Isn't it, my brother?"

"He used to like individual heroism, going deep into the enemy's interior alone to decapitate people, without caring about the team members who followed him. He even sacrificed an adjutant once, but after that incident, he became much more honest."

"I'm sorry to interrupt the Commander-in-Chief and Beheader's discussion with Director An. Although this may spoil the fun, I still have to remind you that this is a public channel." The serious voice of the Chief of Operations came from the communication headset.

"Please don't talk about irrelevant things. Director An did not sacrifice his adjutant. The adjutant just fell into a coma, forcing the director to stop the decapitation mission and evacuate the rescue. He is a very reliable person."

"Leaders, is it really okay to chat at this critical moment..." Suddenly, a nameless person's whisper came from the headset. ⊙

"What we have to do now is to wait. We must conserve our strength before the nine teams above come to support us." An Xiao's eyes never left the most dangerous target. "Who among you knows Russian? Can you try to communicate with them and delay time?"

"Aren't you the third daughter of the An family? Your sister and brother both know Russian, but you don't?" Sister Tang was very surprised.

"I was secretly reading novels during the time I was learning Russian. My elder brother was in charge of supervising me. He always thought I was very serious, so I didn't tell him." An Xiao answered honestly.

"I hope your brother doesn't know."

In the corner, the blood-eyed girl, who was mixed in with the aliens, twitched her lips slightly, and could hear the conversation in the communicator clearly.

"So who can speak Russian?" An Xiao continued to ask.

"They are all elites from the third district. Why do they have to learn Russian?" Sister Tang sighed, "Why not let Ling translate?" Dad

"I can try." The woman next to An Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Adjutant?" An Xiao was a little surprised.

The woman was her adjutant, a trusted member of the family personally selected by her elder brother. Compared with the young heirs of the family, she was too mediocre and not even qualified to participate in the family dinner. An Ran believed that such talents were trustworthy. The last members who could not enjoy the training of family resources would always be particularly loyal when they got the opportunity.

They had only been together for half a month, and to be honest, An Xiao didn't know this adjutant very well. She only knew that she was a big-breasted woman with An family blood and who had suspicious feelings for her brother. Apart from that, she had no other notable characteristics.

An Xiao nodded, and the adjutant took the initiative to communicate with the man under the strong light. She spoke in Russian, and the executives understood it with the help of Zero's translation in the communication channel. The meaning of this sentence was "This carnival must end."

The Count raised his head, the deep red in his eyes was still bright even under the strong light, and he slowly opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse, deep voice.

"This carnival will not end. This night is just the beginning. New people are already all over the world. Everyone is born and dies in it, dies in life, and is reborn in death." Zero translated on the communication channel.

"It's a very profound sentence, although I don't understand it." Sister Tang complained.

"Telling him Xinmin is just a stupid lie." An Xiao said calmly.

The adjutant spoke truthfully, and her words would be translated by Zero, so there was no need to worry about her smuggling any personal opinions.
