Walk alone in the abyss

When Greese saw Yang Ming in the lord's mansion, his face was darkened, resisting the urge to give Yang Ming the middle finger.

If it weren't for him, he couldn't beat this guy!

"His Royal Highness Daphne, Captain Gris, come and sit down."

Yang Ming made a gesture of invitation, inviting the two to sit on the sofa.

Daphne's maid was the first to move forward, scanning the sofa with a simple instrument. Daphne just stepped forward, nodded to Yang Ming, and then sat down stroking the hem of the windbreaker.

Gris rubbed the tip of his nose, not daring to sit with His Royal Highness Daphne, so he moved closer to Yang Ming. ——In this living room, two opposite sofas are arranged.

026 at the side brought a hot drink prepared in advance.

"Give me some face," grumbled Gris, "you've made me very passive now, so many people are watching, your gun is almost on my forehead, I'm still your close friend!"

Yang Ming cursed angrily, "Get out."

"Okay," Gris moved himself a sofa and sat aside.

Daphne's light pink lips opened and closed slightly: "Are you going to investigate this matter to the end?"

"Of course," Yang Ming said indifferently, "You should have seen the ballistic analysis I sent you. At that time, there was a laser beam aimed at you."

"The political impact of this matter may be great," Daphne said. "I originally thought that if you go to clean up the CIA of the new federation, you will not continue to pursue the shelling incident."

"of course not."

Yang Ming said:

"The reason why I have a distinction is because the CIA got it, and the nobles didn't get it.

"But it doesn't count as an attempted incident, they've fired, they've shown intent to massacre civilians, and they've targeted you.

"I gave the imperial military department two days, but the feedback given to me by the military department is only resistance. Obviously, the instigator behind this, they dare not offend... your brothers and sisters?"

Daphne's eyelids are drooping, her shallow eyelids and long eyelashes make her fair and delicate face more alluring.

She said: "I don't want to pursue this matter, Earl Hanton, can you please give up the pursuit?"

"Impossible," Yang Ming resolutely refused.

"Does this do you any good?" Daphne asked with a frown. "The people obviously don't pay attention to the shelling incident."

"Then I'll make them pay attention, and I can do that."

Daphne frowned and asked: "Are you trying to threaten those messengers in this way, and then seek benefits for yourself? When they give you what you want, you give up pursuing them, is that right?"

"If you think so, then I'm too lazy to correct it," Yang Ming spread his hands.

Of course, there was no way to express his true intentions directly.

He has two main purposes, neither of which can be directly stated.

The first purpose is to cover up the real action he will take next and attract the attention of the empire. If he can be watched by the empire because of this incident, it can just cover the actions of the Terminator assassination team.

The second purpose is simpler, which is to impact the internal stability of the empire.

Only when the empire becomes chaotic, its own Luofeng and Dark Star can usher in the second window period, a crucial window period.

Yang Ming said slowly: "What I pursue is the truth, and what I want to take revenge on are those who try to harm my people. Isn't this the most important thing for a lord to do?"

Daphne said: "Stubbornness and stubbornness are the most useless characters in politics."

"From the moment I left Emperor Star, I never thought about stepping into this dirty political circle again."

Yang Ming spoke slowly:

"Do you want to quarrel with me, Daphne? I admit that I was emotional when I scolded you last time, and I was a little rude to you, but now, we are talking about these things calmly."

"I don't want to quarrel," Daphne looked aside, and the maids behind only dared to bow their heads, not daring to speak out in front of Yang Ming.

A little white ghost deterrence.

Daphne asked again: "Then what should you do to let it go?"

"I don't quite understand, why should I give up?" Yang Ming frowned and said, "Daphne, you will almost become a victim too, I didn't give the bombardment order, and they may also kill you. "

Gris smiled and said, "I can guess what your Highness is thinking. Compromise is an art of politics. Her Highness Daphne has gained a great reputation in the empire and abroad in the past year. It is normal for some people to be jealous." , What she wants now is to calm down and not affect her career, and then show her overall view in front of the noble group and the royal family."

Yang Ming added: "By the way, use what happened to me in exchange for greater political benefits."

"Earl Handon! Captain Gris!"

Daphne stood up straight away, her windbreaker trembling slightly due to her rather predictable figure.

She glared at Yang Ming: "If you want to ridicule me, I can accept it, but please after this incident is resolved!"

Gris nodded immediately: "You misunderstood, I was just expressing some opinions that might not please you."

"He's already contacted you, right?"

Yang Ming asked suddenly.

Daphne was obviously stunned: "Who?"

"A certain brother of yours... your mental power fluctuations responded to me. The so-called mental power can be understood as various, weak waves when the brain is working. very sensitive."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, continuing to talk nonsense:

"This is a kind of ability that I have kept secret all the time. As long as I want to distinguish, I can tell who is lying. A society without lies has no charm at all."

Daphne pursed her lips.

Yang Ming said leisurely: "Do you want to know what kind of torture those officers are going through?"

He made a gesture, and a projection appeared in front of several people.

The dozen or so officers lay on the carpet in disorder, all of them ruddy and sound asleep, while a few men and women were tinkering with some audio equipment, making ghostly howls and howls from time to time.

Daphne thought of something instantly, raised her hand to support the sofa, and let herself sit down slowly.

Gris stared and asked, "Are you cheating?"

"Hmm," Yang Ming said with a smile, "this is just the first step. Since you guys arrived here, I have already started to implement the second step. Various buzzwords have appeared on the Empire's Internet, exaggerating the white ghost's abuse of lynching. , Violating the imperial code of nobility, guess whether those nobles will take the initiative to buy traffic and add fire to the voices criticizing me."

Daphne frowned slightly.

Greis quickly opened the terminal, and said with a smile: "It's true, it's true, every entry is scolding you, and when you click on it, it's common people talking about the aristocracy, which is interesting."

Of course, Yang Ming would not say that most of these so-called civilians are sailors controlled by Law.

"Want to know what I do next?"

Yang Ming raised his legs and explained slowly:

"About ten minutes later, news will spread from various places, saying that I have obtained information on the indirect nobleman who ordered the officer to fire.

"My ancient technology warships, together with a dozen warships in my private army, will leave the military port of Star Saka and jump out in front of everyone.

"It doesn't matter where the jump is, what is important is that before the ship jumps, I will release a video speech I have recorded a long time ago, in the name of the white ghost, to maintain the last dignity of the civilians of the empire.

"What about the title?"

"You are playing with fire," Daphne said in a low voice. "Public opinion is the most forbidden area for the nobles of the empire. You don't know the true face of the empire."

"I don't understand?" Yang Ming asked back, "Could it be that Director Ino who I came into contact with is a dummy?"

Daphne was speechless for a moment.

She tried to lighten the mood.

At this moment, all those messy thoughts in her heart were temporarily gone, such as playing hard to get, arousing the other party's interest and conquering desire... She suddenly found that it was very difficult for her to maintain rational thinking when facing this guy.

"Earl Handon, I know that you may feel a little uncomfortable because of the incident on Emperor Star last time.

"My father vented his anger on you to maintain the majesty of the imperial power.

"If this matter continues to ferment like this, it will inevitably arouse conflicts between the noble class and the civilian class. The people have long been dissatisfied with the nobles. This is a ball of explosives. Even you, if you don't handle it properly, you will also be injured by the explosives. .”

"I do not mind."

Yang Ming spread his hands: "What I want is an explanation."

Gris whispered beside him: "To be honest, I'm also here to be a lobbyist. There are tasks assigned to me... Can you save me and don't make this matter too big."

"That's fine," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Just ask the military department to give me accurate information. I want to know who did it, who gave the order at the top, and who handled it in the middle."

"With your temper, if you know who did it, why don't you fly over and fuck him right away?"

Gris also felt quite a headache.

Yang Ming said slowly:

"In my eyes, the two now represent the two most powerful forces in the empire, the military department and the Sherman family. Let me wait for a statement. This is my attitude.

"Also, I must remind everyone that the new CIA is now trying to fan the flames, and he may give me a copy of the information they have, which is too ugly.

"Also, before this matter is resolved, we'd better not leave here, this is also for the safety of the two of you."

Daphne nodded slightly: "I see, wait a moment, I will contact the elders."

Gris sighed: "I'll also contact the higher-ups."

"Thank you very much."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "I'm a pacifist, I've always been."

Whether Daphne believed it or not, Gris did not.

...

The trend of the matter was even more explosive than what Yang Ming had planned.

What Yang Ming admired most about the new CIA was their professionalism.

Even though they have just been retaliated by the white ghost, the decision-makers of the CIA still don't take revenge on the white ghost's sentimentality, but seize the hot news of the empire, and don't miss any opportunity to spark internal conflicts in the empire.

Shelling out the concert event, it went viral.

The CIA keenly discovered the contradictions of the imperial class reflected behind this incident.

Daphne is the hottest singer of the empire in recent years, and her popularity is very wide. The white ghost is also a veteran of the empire and a hero of the empire. The amount of attention that can be aroused is terrifying.

And this attention can easily be transformed into the dissatisfaction of hundreds of billions of civilians in the empire with tens of millions of nobles.

Nobody likes privilege unless it's their own.

In order to retaliate against the white ghost, the nobles ordered the comprehensive supply ship to fire at the concert with full firepower, and the floating platforms attacked were all floating platforms where the civilian class was located.

There's a lot of room for speculation about this.

It took only two hours for Daphne and Gris to enter the Lord's Mansion, and the portal throughout the empire was captured by this incident and related extended incidents.

Many typical cases of nobles oppressing civilians have been dug up.

The development of public opinion has been out of the control of the law, and the law can only interfere and guide to a certain extent through the previously arranged server group.

The Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau and the Senate of the Elders went out to control public opinion at the same time, and were counter-killed by the new Federal CIA.

The Religious Cult of the Empire's Development tried to activate the Empire's defense system across the entire territory (Li), but Li didn't give them any response. According to the previous records, in this case, it has barely met the conditions for the activation of Li.

The unified network of the empire, after being activated, is the most powerful resource integration network of the empire.

But the unreasonable host, and another law is making trouble in the dark. In the online world, imperial officials can only cover their mouths through stupid methods such as deleting posts, accusing comments, and warnings from the secret police. When these behaviors are exposed, what they get The backlash is even greater.

After another few hours.

Demonstrations took place all over the place.

In the initial parade, there were obviously agents of the CIA, but when more and more people stood up in silence, the local order began to paralyze.

The local defense forces and security forces are also civilians, because there are relatively obvious concepts of "clan" and "family" in various regions of the empire, and there is a large network of supervision, they dare not do anything to the civilians.

Contradictions began to intensify at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The powder keg that has been dormant for years has a tendency to be ignited.

When night fell, Yang Ming's lord's mansion was brightly lit.

More than a dozen high-ranking officials who rushed over on behalf of the imperial government, and four or five major generals from the military department, all had a simple dinner in the courtyard and discussed some important public opinions.

Daphne and Gris were still in the house, and there were a few more familiar figures in the house.

Atro from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Revell, the youngest Earl of the Empire, and two old men from the Emperor Star.

Yang Ming browsed the webpage slowly, and now he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"There is news!"

Grace jumped up suddenly, turned his head and said, "A hereditary viscount committed suicide! He left a video before committing suicide, admitting that he planned the shelling incident in order to avenge the white ghost!"

"Oh," Yang Ming replied, and continued to browse his webpage with his head bowed.

Daphne said: "The matter can be resolved here."

"This viscount has a fatal trick in my hands," Yang Ming said indifferently, "Even though he tried to block me at the door last time, he didn't spare any resources that should be handed over to me later on. I don't believe he will instigate The courage and courage to act like this."

"However, he has already pleaded guilty," Daphne said. "Suppress the public opinion first, and we will give you an explanation. I swear with everything I have."

"What I want is not to replace the dead ghost, what I want is the mastermind behind it, Daphne."

Yang Ming raised his head slightly, his gaze was indescribably sharp:

"Now I am the only one who can calm the public opinion. If this time passes, I will be nothing more than a super soldier.

"Whether I stand up or not is up to me."

"Earl Handon," an old man whispered, "do you want His Majesty to talk to you directly?"

Yang Ming said seriously: "If Your Majesty gives me an order, I will obey his will without hesitation, please give your Majesty an order."

The old man was speechless.

The old emperor in the palace is watching a play happily at the moment, wanting to see how the white ghost will mess with the mentality of these big nobles, without any sense of crisis at all.

Yang Ming knew the old emperor well, he had nothing to fear at the moment.

Gris looked down at the message in his hand, and Atro had already shouted: "The two counts! The two honorary counts committed suicide by taking poison! They planned this shelling behind the scenes!"

Yang Ming nodded, and continued to browse the webpage with his head down.

Gris muttered: "What do you think these guys are for? They know that Hanton is not easy to mess with, but they insist on getting together to seek death."

"It's just a substitute for the dead," Yang Ming said leisurely, "This means that the person who tried to kill Daphne, damage the reputation of Saka, and create panic on Saka to destroy the economy of my territory cannot be easily moved. Characters, let me think about it...there are not many great nobles who can easily contact the guards around Daphne."

In the corner, 026 wearing a short black skirt came over and said softly:

"Boss, a painless memory scan has been completed on the dozen or so officers, and three of them have problems."

Daphne turned around abruptly: "Handon, who asked you to do such a thing!"

"As expected, you already know," Yang Ming said, "Who is it that is in contact with those guards?"

"The Viscount who committed suicide," 026 said softly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

026 suddenly said again: "However, the subconscious discussion among the officers was very interesting. They mentioned a name, Gehali, the second in line heir to the empire, and the sixth son of His Majesty the Great Emperor."

Daphne subconsciously clenched her fists.

The two old men on the side frowned.

Yang Ming's eyes lit up: "He wants to kill Daphne?"

"In the memory of an officer, there is a clear order to shell Daphne's stage, and the specific operator has also been determined, and the operator has been shot dead by the officers."

A needle drop could be heard in the hall of the Lord's Mansion.
