Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 1140: Intricate Threads

    

you conspired with me, now why are you backing down!"Yu Biyao sneered."Bi Yao, don't think I don't know your plans. In your eyes, I'm just a tool you use to deal with your master!""So what You still..."The subordinate's work was inadequate."

What can Sen say He ordered his men to eliminate Ripple, the chess piece. As a result, the group he sent was arrested and taken to the Federal Police Department, even attracting the attention of First Academy. Now he's very annoyed, cleaning up the mess and being scolded is well-deserved.

The man on the video call didn't show his face; Mori could only see the other person's throat. But being able to contact him and directly scold him meant that he was basically a powerful figure in the anti-League organization.

The person across from him looked at Mo's humble demeanor, let out a sigh and then softened their tone:

"Forest, don't let one piece disrupt our entire strategy. Temporarily halt the cleansing plan. This piece will be useful later; I have other arrangements for it."

Yes, sir.

The video call immediately ended, as if the other party had just come to vent their emotions and conveniently get him to stop his cleanup plan.

Sen frowned and thought for a moment, not understanding the other party's intentions. In the end, he still contacted Roland and asked her to temporarily halt the cleanup plan for Ripple.

"Understood, I've cleaned up the Cleanup Crew. Whatever they told the Fed Police won't matter to us."

Roland has always been cautious in his dealings. Before dispatching anyone, he had already made two preparations because the previous failures of the Rebel Alliance on Ripple had led him to anticipate a potential mission failure.

She was feeling bold this time, wanting to use this cleanup mission to bring some candidates into the academy for the assessment. Then she could give the Anti-League side a few private properties as leverage.

Of course, she didn't report this plan, only giving the mission to Muzi in private. Unfortunately, the mission ended in failure, and naturally, this matter remained hidden within her.

She underestimated the first academy's seriousness about this matter, and also underestimated the anger of those parents who almost became victims.

In the interstellar era, the average lifespan reached five hundred years. However, humans with advanced genetics evolved to have a more difficult time procreating, much like high-level cultivators in cultivation realms who find it increasingly challenging to have offspring as their cultivation level increases. Therefore, children are very precious.

Those who can get into the top 100 on their first try are naturally elites among elites. This not only refers to their family background, but also includes their own excellent genes.

Such children, after graduation, basically serve the Galactic Federation. As long as they don't mess up, they will basically advance to important positions in the future.

If these people were captured and brainwashed by the Anti-League, they would become pawns of the Anti-League even if they were redeemed with Federation Credits. They would be ticking time bombs in the future, potentially exploding one day and causing immense losses to their parents and the Federation government.

And Muzi, who became a one-eyed dragon, only lasted three days in the special interrogation room of the Central Star Federation Police Headquarters before confessing everything. However, the 3S-level psychic responsible for the interrogation looked rather grim after retracting his psychic threads.

Officer Randy, do you have any other findings

The officer in charge of the record noticed Randy's pale face and immediately asked,

"I have other findings to report now, you can go home after organizing the results."

Randy said as he left the courtroom.

"OK."

The officer knew the suspect's special circumstances, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately called for a medical officer to treat the unconscious suspect. He himself returned to his office to finish the rest of his work.

Randy went to see his boss, Hughes. Hughes was a standard white man, tall and muscular but with pale skin. The only thing that made him stand out was his long, bushy beard, which he always wore. He was very individualistic, and the officers at the precinct liked to call him "Bluebeard" because his hair was blue.

"Randy, you said you had something urgent to tell me. Is there a new discovery"

Su was in his office, holding an unremarkable pipe and reviewing the newly received interrogation records. However, he had been waiting for Randy to arrive as she had sent him a message earlier.

"Yes, I found that the suspect's memories had been tampered with while extracting their memories."

"This is normal, this is a common tactic used by anti-alliance organizations. You should have other findings, right"

Hughes didn't think his men would come to him for this reason.

"Yes, this suspect's memories have been tampered with before the age of five. When I extracted his memories, I must have triggered something, and the altered memories are now correcting themselves."

Randy stopped talking there.

"So what did you see in his corrected memory"

“His family before he was five years old, and he wasn't an artificially created mutant trained by the anti-league. He was a naturally awakened mutant, and he was a child who was replaced from a mutant family by the anti-league.”

Randy spoke word by word.

"Are you sure"

"I'm sure."

Shus heard Randy's report and seemed to remember something. He immediately retrieved a file on the internal AI of the police station. There was a video in it, which was the record of when Ripple was approached by the black-haired woman and reported it to the police.

It seems someone was quite prescient.

Shus, stroking his pipe thoughtfully, finally said:

"The First Academy also sent over another person, the one who almost got burned to death by your father. He's been handed over to you for interrogation as well. See if these two are in the same situation."

Randy is the daughter of Professor Rand. This is also the reason why Shuus allowed Randy to preside over the interrogation, and he had a verbal agreement with the First Academy, at least to prevent someone from meddling behind the scenes.

"Yes, I will go and interrogate the second suspect now."

Lan Di is a go-getter, she doesn't want to wait until tomorrow.

"The subpoena has been sent to your neural implant. Please work overtime, and also please quickly record what you just told me and send it to me."

Tomorrow I'll have Emil transferred from the Starport Division to assist you, along with her former partner Lance. What do you think

"No problem, I've worked with Officer Amir before."

Randy smiled and said.

That's good, you go busy first.

After Randy left, Xiu thought about it again. He brought up a video call, hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't make the call.

Things were much more relaxed on this side of the ripples. Thanks to this evaluation incident, she had gained a whole bunch of followers, be they Beastmen or Contract Holders. This included those dozen or so examinees they had worked together to rescue.

The examinee who was caught was questioned, and then taken home by his parents. However, the people who helped out remember Ripple and her friends, so on their first day of rest, the temporary team members, one after another, received thank-you packages sent by their families.

Ripple really made a killing this time, with gains in every area: food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The food goes without saying, high-grade nutrient solution, cultivated vegetables, high-grade beast meat – these are all basics.

From battle uniforms to everyday clothes, formal wear, and accessories, he's collected quite a few sets. It seems like this parent runs a clothing company!

A parent directly transferred a single apartment in the academy area to Lianyi. The location is excellent, right inside the First Academy. After she stops living on campus, she can move there directly.
