The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

704. Assassinate Tarkin (Part 1)

Lugas took the suspension vehicle to the entrance of the administrative center of Planet Eliadu and accepted the daily inspection of the guards. When the guard took his personal terminal and started scanning, his heart was beating violently and his breathing became heavy.

The memory that Tosh gave him happened to be stuck in the middle of the personal terminal, and it was impossible to tell at first glance. Even if it was scanned, it would be considered by the guards to be just one of the parts of the personal terminal, unless the guard was a professional.

"This terminal of yours..." the guard suddenly picked up his personal terminal and said with a serious expression.

"I... this..." Lugas thought he had been exposed, and suddenly became tense, his whole body stiffened, and he looked at the terminal and didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, the guard just pointed to a large group of stains on the personal terminal and said: "You'd better clean this thing up, or you will be deducted credit points if the sanitation inspector finds out, you know, our governor The most important thing is these things. Also, drink less alcohol during working hours."

"Oh, ah... yes! Yes! I'll deal with it now!" Lugas was relieved, quickly wiped the stain with his hands, and walked in with his personal terminal in his arms.

After a while, two Jedi knights in brown coarse robes came over, looked at the guard, and asked, "Is there anything unusual here?"

The guard hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, and replied, "Nothing unusual, General!"

The two Jedi knights looked at each other with some doubts, "No? Didn't Master Ovalier say that he felt some dangerous aura in this direction?"

One of the Jedi knights then asked again: "Recall carefully, was there anything worthy of attention for the people who went in about 20 minutes ago?"

The guards looked at each other, tried to remember for a while, and said: "No, everyone is going to work normally... I must say that 4 or 5 of the people who passed by today drank some alcohol. In this war period, all People are very nervous."

Another Jedi said, "Okay then, keep an eye on these drinkers and don't let them delay things."

"yes!"

"Let's go, Armando. Maybe Master Ovalier's feeling is that these people who drink will cause work accidents?" said the Jedi Knight.

...

Lugas came to his work station and began to conduct routine checks on the mainframe. He inserted the small memory that Tosh gave him into the mainframe while he was unprepared, looked at the progress bar that started to jump, and calculated the time should be After reading the article in about 5 minutes, I began to pretend to be overhauled around.

When the progress bar reached about 70%, suddenly a few soldiers came over, and the leading captain said: "I have been paying attention to you since just now, you have repeatedly disassembled and reinstalled these things, and reinstalled and disassembled them again." What are you doing?"

Lugas quickly tore off the storage device, threw it into his toolbox, and turned to the captain and said, "Uh, I'm sorry, I tried a few times just now, but I didn't install it properly."

The captain snorted coldly, "It seems that General Armando is right, some of you drinking guys must be in trouble! Take it away!"

After finishing speaking, several soldiers came up and dragged Lugas up and walked out. In the chaos, someone kicked over the tool box, and the parts inside were scattered all over the place.

No one saw it, the memory suddenly transformed into a small mechanical spider, and quickly crawled away.

It took a long time for Lugas to finish the questioning, and came back dejectedly to pack up his things. After finishing his toolbox, he suddenly found that the storage device had disappeared! Suddenly, it was like a bucket of ice water was poured from head to toe.

It was lost!

No matter who picks up this thing, it will be a disaster for him! And even if it's just lost, the progress bar is only 70% just now, if the task cannot be completed, then that terrifying invisible man will...

Lugas was about to collapse, but he still didn't dare to show it, he just lay limp on the ground, motionless.

At the same time, in that unremarkable apartment, Super Lotus tapped on the keyboard, and then said: "Okay, Big Hei, now we are part of the communication system of this administrative center. I don't know When will it be discovered, so you better hurry."

"The progress is only 70%, not completed." Tosh said with a frown.

"Actually, it's finished at 35%, and the rest of the progress bar is a delay. You know, the only way to ensure that the coward can last a little longer." Chaolianhua spread his hands and said, "And you see, He really didn't stick to it till the end."

"Very good." Tosh entered the invisible state again, and a pair of red eyes flashed in the void.

"You have to know that after you enter the administrative center, I can't contact you. The little robot with deformed memory is your virtual communication node. So once it is tracked, the other party must find that little robot first. As long as the little robot If it is destroyed, it means that they are coming to you soon." Chao Lianhua said, "I will try to play hide-and-seek with them for a while."

...

In the invisible state, according to the communication channel inside the administrative center, Tosh finally seized the short 20 seconds when the guards changed their shifts and entered the administrative center.

Tosh exerted his psychic power to the extreme, perceiving the thinking of everyone around him, so that he could understand where their focus was, and then quietly advanced from the blind spot.

At the same time, he is also constantly paying attention to the internal communication channel, allowing him to know the deployment direction of the guards, as well as the coverage area of ​​the detector and the scanning interval.

He walked silently, and a guard standing at the door in front of him was watching the chest of the girl at the front desk. Tosh walked directly in front of the guard when the girl at the front desk bent down to pour water and the angle was just right.

The warping air that passed by made the guard rub his eyes, and then he watched more intently.

Soon, one of the messages in the communicator caught Tosh’s attention—‘Prepare the best fruit and drinks in the east conference room on the 4th floor in 5 minutes. Staff members please arrive early. '

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tosh's mouth, and he began to sneak towards the 5th floor, and then hid in a corridor opposite. From here, he could overlook the entrance of the meeting room on the 4th floor. Although there was only a small shooting angle, it was enough for him. up.

He set up his customized AGR-28 sniper rifle and aimed it in the direction of the meeting room door.

Sure enough, after 10 minutes passed, only a dozen people in military uniforms came over, and the leader of them was Wilhuff Tarkin!

Tosh's finger on the trigger tightened slightly, ready to fire...

Suddenly, something didn't feel right to him!

At the same time, the connection between him and that little robot was severed!
