"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot. But Master is a human being. If a mosquito can't bite us, then we'll just bite him. Anis, I'm not like you. I really feel sorry for Master~"

"fart!"

It seemed that Anis and Nian were about to quarrel again.

Lavi pondered for a moment before saying, "Commander, what do you think of the village where Little Red Riding Hood came from? Although it's a bit small, there's a winding river nearby and abandoned cornfields. Since corn was once grown there, the soil must be very fertile. Also, it should be summer when we go there, but it won't be too hot. Thinking about it carefully, it should perfectly suit our needs."

Green thought about it for a moment and felt that what Rabi said made sense: "Now that you mention it, it's true. Little Red Riding Hood really did help us find a good place."

"If it's on the way, let's go there and investigate."

"Anis, Nian, before you leave this time, remember to bring the optical camouflage device from the warehouse."

"Roger that!"

"Understood, Master!"

"Then everyone should go back to your dormitories and get ready. I also have some things to take care of before leaving the Ark."

"learn."

After receiving the order, Rabi and the others left in a hurry.

Bai Xue and Hong Lian remained in the commander's room, one frantically clearing the unfinished feast on the table, while the other drank with a smile on her face.

After wandering on the ground for too long, they also need some time to adjust their mood.

Seeing that they all had their own things to do, Green pushed open the door, walked to the rooftop of the command center, and looked out at the night sky alone.

Then, as if he remembered something, he took out his cell phone and woke up Alnik's AI.

"Anik, are you asleep? I have something to talk to you about."

"Hello, Commander. As the artificial intelligence overseeing the Ark, I don't need sleep, so please feel free to ask any questions you have."

Anik's face appeared on the phone screen.

"It's not really a big deal."

"Have you made up your mind about the verdicts on Yuni and Klav?"

"..."

"I see. Do you want to know my verdict on Yuni and Klau?"

"Regarding Nikki Yuni of the Guard Corps, just the day before yesterday, the central government submitted all the evidence to me. After my assessment, I believe Yuni committed extremely heinous crimes. As the first vicious terrorist attack in Ark's history caused by Nikki, resulting in thousands of casualties, and the first vicious case of Nikki attacking the Ark CEO, Yuni deserves an extremely harsh sentence."

"But considering her abilities as Nikki and the indirect factors such as Schoen's mismanagement that led to the tragedy, I believe that although she has serious faults, she should atone for the crimes she committed."

"Therefore, I have handed down my verdict."

"The sentence is as follows: Yuni's activities will be restricted to the Rehabilitation Center and the Research Institute. Without permission, she will never be allowed to appear on the streets of the Ark. Her social life will also be restricted. She will not be allowed to come into contact with anyone except the researchers at the Rehabilitation Center and the designated commander. In addition, the Ark will throw her into more and more dangerous ground battles against Letcher, fighting to protect humanity and atone for the crimes she has committed."

"That does sound... a bit too kind, Alnic."

"Do you think my sentence is too lenient?"

"No matter what, that girl has committed a heinous crime. Even though I want to help her, when I think of what she has done, the words I want to say to defend her are like a fishbone stuck in my throat. I can't say them."

Green sighed.

He did promise to defend Yuni, to speak in her favor with Alnwick, and to save her from the death penalty.

But when the words come to my lips, it is difficult to say them.

He is a man with a conscience, and he cannot be so condescending as to forgive the crimes committed by Yuni on behalf of the Ark citizens who died in the disaster.

"I understand your point."

"But my judgment will not change."

"However, my judgments are not always fully implemented. Some of Ark's senior executives often try to find loopholes in the judgments by nitpicking on the wording. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that my judgments will be carried out perfectly as I said."

"understood."

"So, about Krau..."

When mentioning Krau, Green frowned slightly.

He actually knew that Paradise was conducting brain research on Krau, trying to analyze how she bypassed Nimph's code to attack humans.

But such things would certainly not be reported to Alnwick.

Before he could think, Anik replied, "As for Krau, the central government is investigating and collecting all evidence linking her to the terrorist attack. I will not make a judgment on her until the evidence is handed to me."

"But based on my understanding of this matter, Krau played many roles in fueling the last terrorist attack, and his crimes are no different from those of a serious criminal."

"Of course, Commander, as someone who experienced the last terrorist attack, I would like to ask for your thoughts and use them as a reference for your judgment."

"My opinion?"

"I don't have anything special to say, Krau... She is someone who refuses to be saved."

Green shook his head and said softly, "She confessed to all the crimes she committed and even explained them clearly."

"understood."

"I'll take your answer as a reference. Anything else?"

"Nothing special happened. Besides Yuni and Klaw, there was also Mihaela... But she was seriously injured when she tried to block a bullet for Shuen. Klaw even shot her. I wonder if she's okay?"

Green thought of Yuni's partner Mihaela.

Although he was also insulted by Shuen as scrap metal.

But Mihaela is different from Yuni. She is very intellectual, rational, and emotionally stable.

It is not known whether she recovered from the attack.

……

At the same time.

Ark, top floor of Missilis headquarters.

Shu En sat in her room, but felt a little upset.

Since the attack, she has not been able to eat or sleep well, and has been left with a very strong psychological trauma, so much so that now when she hears the name Yuni, she trembles all over and has a headache.

Just when she was getting annoyed, someone knocked on the door.

"CEO Shuen, do you have a minute?"

"Mana? If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm already feeling annoyed!"

"It's about Yuni. Alnick has already handed down his verdict on her. I wonder if you would be willing to take over this matter?"

"Unnie...Unnie! Don't mention that name in front of me! That audacious piece of rubbish! I trusted her so much and kept them by my side, and now what happened? She actually wanted to kill me!"

When Shu En heard the word "Youni", he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

She slammed the table and started yelling again in the room.

"That's why I said that Nikki is useless trash! No different from scrap metal!"

"Even scrap metal is worth more than this junk!"

"That piece of scrap metal, how dare she lay hands on me?! I am her creator, the God who gave her life, and yet she turns around and tries to kill me! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"

"How can there be such disgusting scrap metal in this world!"

boom!

Shu En got angry and banged the table a few more times.

But soon she hurt her little hand from hammering.

In the end, she finally clenched her aching palms in frustration, turned her head away with an arrogant and annoyed look, and said, "I don't want to care about this matter. Alnick can do whatever he wants. I'm already annoyed. You should get back to your post and stop talking nonsense to me!"

"Yes, I understand."

Mana also knew Shuen's temperament.

Since she said she doesn't want to care, then she definitely won't care.

As an employee of Missilis, Mana naturally would not disobey Shuen's wishes.

She bowed slightly to the CEO in front of her, then turned and walked out of the room.

Just as she walked out of Shuen's room, a man in a suit and a mask stopped her: "Ms. Mana, regarding Yuni's judgment, this matter will be fully taken over by Master Zhien."

"Lord Ji-eun?"

"..."

"Yes, Lady Ji-eun is Lady Shuen's sister. She has already discussed this with Lady Shuen. If there are no problems, please let us begin the handover."

312

Chapter 312: War of Kingdoms.

"..."

Mana pushed her glasses down with her fingers.

After a moment of silence, she did not immediately agree to hand over the work.

In Ark, few people knew that Shuen had a half-sister, and even her name was known only to a very few people.

Ji-eun.

This elusive woman rarely shows up, and no one knows what she looks like. She has been hiding behind the scenes of Missilis, occasionally sending subordinates to contact Shuen's confidants to hand over some secret tasks.

For Mana, as a researcher at Missilis, she only knew that there was such a person.

As for what Ji-eun wanted to do, she naturally didn't quite understand.

Out of consideration, Mana adjusted her glasses again and asked cautiously, "So, can I assume that Master Ji-eun wants to take over Yuni's rehabilitation?"

"Yes."

"Could you tell me some more details?"

"As the head of the rehabilitation center, I think it's necessary for me to know how Master Ji-eun will deal with Yuni."

"..."

The masked man was silent for a while, then turned his back and tapped the earphone lightly, as if he was communicating with someone.

After the person on the other end gave the order, the masked man nodded and explained to Mana.

"Ms. Mana, this is what Master Jieun said."

"Because of the records of the previous capture of Nihilista and Indivilia, Ark also briefly conducted some research on the fragments of the heretics. Based on our research conclusions, we also discovered some secrets of the heretics, that is, they are all the product of the fusion of Nikki and Letcher."

"Although we don't know exactly how Letcher fused Nikki with Letcher, there's no doubt that this is how the Heretic was born."

"Therefore, Master Zhien decided to begin research in this area."

"If the fusion experiment between Nikki and Letcher is successful, it will mean that we will have combat power equivalent to that of the Heretics. This will be a great thing for the image of Ark and Missilis Enterprises."

"Therefore, please entrust Yuni to Master Ji-eun for research and treatment."

"Why Yuni?"

Mana frowned slightly and asked, "Lord Ji-eun should be aware that Anik has already issued a judgment on Yuni. I don't think it would be a good idea to go against Anik's wishes."

"Anik?"

"Ms. Mana, I may need to remind you."

"Ark is a society made up of humans, not a sandbox controlled by AI. Therefore, even an AI like Alnic is merely a supervisory artificial intelligence for us, and we are the ones who can truly drive the progress and development of this world."

"Besides that, Lady Ji-eun believes Lady Shuen has recently engaged in many inappropriate actions. Because of her reckless actions, Missilis's stock price has plummeted, and the company's image has plummeted. To this day, many people online are still condemning Missilis's inhumane behavior."

"As a researcher at Missilis, you should be working hard to maintain the company's image instead of prying into unnecessary matters."

"what."

Mana sighed slightly. Although her mood was a little complicated, the man in front of her was right. She was just an insignificant researcher, and even a Nikki researcher who was often discriminated against.

Even if she wanted to help Yuni because they were both Nikki, in a place like Ark, a small person like her could lose everything, even her life, if she was not careful.

Therefore, it is better not to ask too many questions.

"I understand."
