Walk alone in the abyss

[Regarding the white ghost speech bomb accident, relevant departments have reached preliminary conclusions.

[The white ghost that appeared in the live broadcast yesterday is a projection synthesized by the New Federation CIA using the latest technology. Its purpose is to promote false liberal ideology to the people of the empire. The empire has severely condemned the new federation for this.

[The speech made by the false white ghost is full of loopholes and full of illusions. The great Sherman Emperor said that the so-called Sherman family elites in power are just nonsense. Legislation and government agencies are running smoothly.

[The empire does not accept this kind of groundless slander, and reserves the right to pursue all responsibilities of the new federation.

[The great emperor appeals to the citizens, please remain calm and restrained, and do not be provoked by foreign forces. The empire will protect the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen.

...

Daphne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with her arms folded, looking at the projection that appeared in the mezzanine of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the surface streets of Emperor Star, millions of people sat in and demonstrated.

This is still in Emperor Star.

It has been twelve galaxies since she woke up, and during these twelve galaxies, Daphne felt like she was dreaming.

The first thing she saw was the picture of the Prince command ship exploding into gorgeous 'fireworks' in the starry sky. The raging radiation even destroyed several small frigates and towing ships nearby.

More than 1,800 crew members have become the dust of the universe, two princes, three elders, dozens of noble officers of the military department, and those loyal soldiers, and, there is also the Grand Duke of the Empire, the white ghost Hanton, None survived.

Even though Daphne knew that her Hanton possessed the high-dimensional technology of rebirth, she still felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.

As for the highly provocative speech delivered by the white ghost, which aimed directly at the Sherman family's elite elite, Daphne didn't feel that there was any problem.

The enemy has already raised the butcher knife, how can we ask the attacked not to resist?

Daphne believed that this speech was Hanton's last stand when he already knew that he could not leave the battleship.

This fits with her understanding of Hendon.

'Daphne...sorry...'

Daphne raised her hand to comb her hair, her eyes were a little anxious.

She now wants to know where Hanton's reserved cells are, and whether the rebirth has started smoothly, or if the rebirth was originally a lie...

"Your Highness," a trusted maid hurried over, "Director Yinuo has arrived."

Uncle, yes, uncle might know.

Daphne lifted her skirt and ran towards the door of the bedroom. Before she ran a few steps, Director Ino appeared in Daphne's sight with a haggard face, and she sighed softly from a distance.

"Uncle! Has Hanton's location been determined?"

Director Ino shook his head slowly.

The light in Daphne's eyes instantly weakened: "How could it be..."

"He didn't contact you, did he?" Director Ino asked in a deep voice.

Daphne just shook her head.

"Is there any news about his assistant, his technical team, and the Governor's Mansion of Saka?"

Director Ino asked a series of questions, and then sighed in disappointment.

Daphne asked, "Who dropped the third bomb?"

"According to the bombs you sent back, we have carried out a certain amount of data restoration. What is certain is that one bomb is an imitation of the Imperial Arms of the New Federation, which has been miniaturized, and the other one has been confirmed by me. The burial was done by the person your father arranged for the tentacles, and the relevant personnel have already disposed of it."

Daphne pursed her lips tightly: "Father?"

"Yes," Director Ino said quickly, "He wants to create turmoil in public opinion, arouse public panic and anger towards that round table, and expand the imperial power in his hands."

Daphne pursed her lips tightly.

Director Ino said: "Before the speech, Hanton got in touch with you, did you find anything?"

"They're the ones who want to kill Hanton," Daphne clenched her hands tightly, "It's those old guys who want to kill Hanton! They only care about those who challenge their authority, and they ruined Hanton!"

"Daphne!"

Director Ino frowned and said, "Control your emotions, did I train you for so many years to make you unable to complain here?"

"But that's what they do!"

Daphne's beautiful face is a bit hideous:

"They must pay for this! They must pay for hurting Hanton! What did Hanton do wrong?"

"Daphne," Director Ino explained impatiently, "Even if they were at fault, didn't Hanton deliberately plan something? Listen to what he said, he wanted to die once by himself, It started a revolution within the empire! In the past twelve hours, there have been tens of thousands of violent conflicts within the empire! Do you know how many soldiers have asked their commander, sir, the order to suppress civilians came from Sherman Is the imperial elite in power? He has shaken the foundation of the empire's existence!"

"An empire that allows them to behave like this shouldn't exist!"

Snapped!

Director Ino's waving palm slowly fell.

Daphne fell to the ground, clutching her slapped cheek, her eyes filled with tears.

"Can you calm down now?"

Director Ino asked in a deep voice.

Daphne's eyes lost focus for a moment, but she quickly regained her clarity. She sat there and nodded slightly, then slowly got up.

She straightened her skirt and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, uncle, I was thrown off guard by the news of Hanton's death."

"Some things can be said, some things can't be said," Director Ino whispered, "I know you have fallen in love with this bastard, but Daphne, you are from the Sherman family, and you will be in the future. The rare female clansman on that round table, I hope you can think carefully before speaking."

"Yes, I know," Daphne said, "The most important thing now is to find his reserved cell. Do I need to go to Saka?"

"You can't go anywhere now, maybe they will set their sights on you."

Director Ino sighed, walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Daphne followed. She was awakened by a slap, and she was trying her best to think at the moment.

"I don't quite understand."

Director Ino said in a low voice:

"This matter doesn't make sense logically... Hanton's speech has been called the Ghost Declaration, because of the motivation of this declaration and the concentrated outbreak of previous problems, the public's dissatisfaction with the empire has reached the peak. vertex.

"And we've detected that there are several powerful, network-based forces that are interfering with this.

"The previous national riots were just an appetizer, or even an introduction. Everything seemed to be planned. An invisible hand controlled the entire empire, and the white ghost walked to the podium step by step. , and said those words.

"Hendon, he lied to us before, that's for sure.

"His words seem to contain complaints about the imperial power of the empire, but in fact they fundamentally deny the legitimacy of the empire's rule.

"It was definitely planned for a long time."

"But," Daphne explained, "if Hanton hadn't been forced to the edge of a cliff by those people, how could he openly stand against the empire? His home planet, his hometown, his real family members, this It's what he really cares about."

"That was just a bargaining chip he said, and I was deceived by him."

Director Ino said:

"If he really cared about his hometown, it would be impossible for him to fight against the empire so fiercely under the premise that Faya's game will start in a few years.

"Unless, he judges that his home planet can't complete the process of civilization promotion, he doesn't care anymore, he just wants to use this rhetoric to paralyze us, making us feel that even if he has complaints about the empire, he would not dare to betray the empire.

"But I didn't expect..."

"Uncle, is there any evidence for what you said?"

Director Ino shook his head.

But Daphne said: "Then uncle, you change the angle. If it weren't for them, my respectable elders, who insisted on planning this explosion and expressing a strong attitude towards the white ghost, things would have developed to this point." to the extent?"

"We can't tell whether it is your elders or someone else who is actively promoting behind the scenes."

Director Ino said seriously: "Don't be emotional."

"Uncle, do you mean that Hanton may have deliberately designed this scene, and he has already betrayed the empire?"

"Think about it carefully. What happened in the past few days began with his unexpected duel with Catherine... He let Catherine go. During the battle with him, Catherine made a speech calling for the awakening of the people's minds. Can the content of those speeches correspond to the Phantom Manifesto?"

Daphne froze for a moment.

"You are very smart, Daphne," Director Ino said, "So now I judge that there is a 30% possibility that Hanton betrayed the empire."

"He must have his own ideas," Daphne said. "Now, whether it is to calm the angry people or prevent the upper and lower layers of the empire from being divided, we must find Hanton."

Director Ino said: "Now, Daphne, if you stand up, you can reduce the pressure on the empire, are you willing?"

"I will, Uncle," Daphne replied without thinking.

"Very good," Director Ino put a handwritten note into Daphne's hands, and Daphne opened it for a few glances, with a bit of shock in her eyes.

She looked up at Director Ino, with some doubts in her eyes, as if she wanted to identify whether Director Ino was real.

"Uncle, what do you mean, let me stand up and attack the four elders of the military..."

"Yes Daphne."

Director Ino smiled, the light in his eyes flickered slightly:

"First of all, you don't have to worry that the empire will get into trouble. We need to transform the conflict now. It is the best way to turn the anger of the people to those old guys. The people's dislike for His Majesty the Emperor is not high now, thanks to Hunton pointedly pointed the finger at us, the elite of the Sherman family.

"Secondly, you don't have to worry, there will be a large-scale mutiny for this... This will most likely lead to conflicts in some areas, or civil wars in the empire, but as long as the Levi Fleet and the Emperor Star are in the Imperial Guard system Under control, we don't have to worry about the empire being really divided.

"Once the civil strife reaches the level that triggers the self-protection program of the Imperial Guard system, everything will be quickly wiped out.

"This is the super mechanism left by Levi's ancestors.

"Daphne, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

"Yes, a chance for reform?"

"No," Director Ino narrowed his eyes slightly, his old face was full of seriousness, "Even if we get rid of the current round table power faction, there will be new round table power faction in the future, targeting them is actually targeting the basic system of the empire, And this system is what we want to maintain, I mean, this is actually an opportunity for the empire to speed up its metabolism."

Daphne thought about it.

"They're too noisy," Director Ino said indifferently. "They're just a group of rats who dare not face physical death. We should add a rule to that round table, prohibiting any unnatural life from participating in decision-making."

"I see, grand-uncle."

"Oh, I still can't figure it out," Director Ino was confused again, "Does Hanton really not care about his home planet? Or, does he actually have other reliance? But he has done so much for the empire I have pulled the empire back from the brink of decline with all my strength, and it makes no sense that it will be the pioneers of other factions... This problem is really annoying me, information, I need enough information! This damned, aggressive little bastard! He put We've all played it, and we must be having fun somewhere now."

"I hope so," Daphne replied disappointedly.

...

At the same time, Yaha Star Spaceport.

Looking at his own attire in the mirror, Yang Ming couldn't help frowning.

This big back hair, leather jacket, leggings, coquettish beard, and slightly decadent makeup... Do you want him to debut in place and become the home of the greasy uncle band?

Hum, buzz!

Yang Ming's watch trembled continuously, he lifted it up and scanned his eyes, followed the written instructions, and took out a wallet from the corner behind the sink.

Opened it and glanced, all kinds of documents are complete.

Only at this time, Yang Ming would sigh with emotion from the heart, the mechanical thinking body like Li and Law really exists like a god in the human network world.

but……

"What am I going to the Guell Union for?" Yang Ming whispered.

hum!

[Need to use your mind control to plan the next step. 】

Yang Ming was slightly dissatisfied.

Emotions, he is now a tool of reason.

"I'm not the only one who knows this skill."

Li's voice rang directly next to Yang Ming's ear: "Isn't another reformer who is good at mind control your subordinate?"

Yang Ming turned his head to look, and the figure of the girl Li appeared in the mirror.

Yang Ming sneered: "All right, you know all about this."

"Your actions in the Overhauler organization were very rough at that time. I pretended to turn a blind eye to many details." Li folded his arms, "I suggest you act more aggressively. The more active you are, the more efficient you will be." The higher it is, the lower the casualties of the people of the empire will be.”

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Don't try to kidnap me morally, I don't have any plot to help others."

"It's not a moral kidnapping, but an explanation of the facts," Li urged, "The long-distance merchant ship will leave the port in half an hour, you must run forward now, and please be careful not to expose your strong personal strength."

call out!

Li's figure disappeared immediately.

Yang Ming grinned, then pressed the fake leather on his cheeks, and put on the hidden earphones for himself.

"Ding Ding! Your caring little assistant is online!"

Lil yelled with his throat closed.

Yang Ming laughed, didn't say much, put away the commercial shielding device, and left the bathroom quickly.

It was still the voice of his little assistant, which sounded kind.
