Chapter 204
The meeting was held in the fortress Hall of the Ministry of justice, which will also serve as a court when necessary, but today it is used as a welcome room.
A huge black hardwood round table was placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by a circle of law enforcement officers dressed in black crustaceans. Their faces were hidden under their helmets, as if they would never expose their real faces.
The arbitrator of the local legal department stood behind the table without a helmet. He was a tough old soldier like leather. At this time, he was only dressed in a simple black uniform, setting off the silver plated artificial limbs and other artificial organs implanted in his body. These devices injected amazing speed and strength into his body.
Suddenly, the gate was pushed open.
Soshyan strutted into the hall with a group of soldiers. Their actions almost blew a whirlwind in the hall.
Finally, he stopped at the table, took off his helmet and put it on the table, revealing his broad and powerful chin and frowned cheek.
"To make a long story short, I think everyone should know our identity."
Soshyan's opening remarks were very capable. The arbitrator nodded and replied:
"Yes, dear star knights, head of soshyan war."
"I have read your report, but there are still many details to discuss."
"We also need a lot of new information to report."
"Then you say it first."
The arbitrator described to soshyan what happened after they left the underground mining area.
It turned out that after they left the mining area, they were blocked by several waves. The enemy seemed to know their course of action very well and was always able to lay an ambush at key locations.
However, the ambush was no longer a pure breed underground, but a more humanoid hybrid. They disguised themselves as local gangs to sneak into the team of the Ministry of justice.
Along the way, the team lost several people one after another. If the people left behind in the fortress hadn't noticed that their action time was too long and sent a response, they might not have come back.
After that, a secret investigation into the safinius administration was launched.
Although the alien disguised very well, there were still some clues, and soon an amazing fact surfaced.
The gene thieves on safinius obviously found that the Ministry of the interior was an excellent hiding place. As one of the largest and most rigid organizations in the Empire, they could use the authority of the Ministry of the interior to escape less rigorous scrutiny.
As a result, the verification of the Ministry of the interior was not carried out until the Star district legal director himself broke through all kinds of red tape and signed a formal authorization order.
But no one knows how long gene thieves have been rooted there.
The Ministry of justice only found some suspicious persons who disappeared before the investigation, and the rest without exception did not find any results.
Safinius is a rich planet with several large nests of considerable scale, but these have nothing to do with poor miners. On the contrary, the guild just worked hard to squeeze them, and even became unscrupulous without the intervention of the Ministry of the interior.
Therefore, in addition to working to death in the mining area, crime has become one of the few feasible means to make a living.
Due to the interference of the mechanical education, the Ministry of justice could not send too many people, nor did it have enough resources to maintain the whole planet, and there were no leading forces among the people to restore order.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of corruption has grown in the slums after gene thieves came to safinius and infiltrated the local Ministry of the interior.
Even the source of corruption may lie in the local guild leaders. This possibility is so terrible but so realistic.
Although the activities of gene thieves are very secret, through the unremitting efforts of law enforcers, they still connect all the traced information and construct a vivid picture.
For example, the only several national churches in safinius have been systematically looted one by one in the past 50 years, and all the sacred objects have been stolen.
Twenty years ago, a smuggling convoy was intercepted and a number of stolen sacred objects were seized.
At that time, it seemed that this was nothing more than the violent criminal booty of smugglers, but now it seems that aliens are obviously using violence as a cover to seize these holy things in a planned way.
More importantly, these details highlight the conspiracy they are trying to infiltrate into the local religion.
In fact, in the past 100 years, there have been murders and kidnappings everywhere in the mining area, and gene thieves have carried out their terrible plans unscrupulously.
They randomly select innocent people to start, let them directly evaporate from the world, or become monster breeders.
Almost all this has never been informed to the Ministry of justice by the local guild and the Ministry of the interior. Most of the time, they ask the Ministry of justice to deal with chores such as smuggling and miners' riots, just like deliberately distracting the attention of the Ministry of justice.
Until the Ministry of justice followed up all the way and found out the possible alien corrosion in the Ministry of the interior building, they may have worked hard for decades for the return of their master and compiled all kinds of lies to deceive the law enforcement and judicial institutions of the Empire.
But despite so many investigations, it is still the tip of the iceberg.
Much of what the gene thieves on safinius did represented a slow and difficult plan to interpret.
To others, these clues have no clue, but to the arbitrator, these facts are beyond doubt.
However, with the deepening of the investigation, small-scale riots began to appear in the mining area and nest, and the Ministry of justice could only constantly rush between various riot places, so the progress of the investigation slowed down immediately.
The arbitrator did not apply for the local security forces to join the counter insurgency, but it is strange that the riots escalated as soon as the local defense forces joined the crackdown.
After questioning several captured riot leaders, the arbitrator found that they were all normal locals, many of them were leaders of underground miners' organizations, and the reason for their riot was that there were rumors of monsters underground, and the Empire planned to blow up the mine and bury everyone under the mine.
The emergence of the local defense forces further proved the authenticity of this rumor, so the miners began a collective strike and refused to enter the mine, resulting in a large-scale riot.
Although this is indeed the style of the Empire, the arbitrator is acutely aware that this rumor happens to happen.
Realizing that the local defense forces were no longer reliable, he sent out a request for help.
Finally, the application came to the bitter Walker regiment and to the star knight regiment.
After hearing the arbitrator's narration, soshyang nodded.
"Your work has been fruitful. A huge conspiracy is being exposed, but I still have a problem."
Soshyan took out the report and was still on the table.
"How did you get out of that hell down there alive?"
The arbitrator was stunned for a moment, then sighed, put his hands on the table and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, it's hard for me to answer this question, because it's too... Incredible. I didn't add it to the report."
"What an incredible thing we've all seen. You can say it."
"It's a group of people, a group of heretics who believe in the so-called Lord of crows. They beat back gene thieves... No, I don't think so. They can't fight gene thieves. I think it's another thing."
