"What are you doing in a daze, go and adjust the monitoring!"

"Yes!"

The assistant who was yelled at by Marven was so angry that he got out of his stunned state and ran away in a hurry, leaving only his boss alone to hurt his nerves.

After waiting for a while, Marven adjusted her mood and slowly entered the laboratory that had been tossed like a garbage heap.

The air in the laboratory is filled with the pungent smell of embalming liquid, which volatilizes with a trace of toxicity to aliens, and can cause hallucinations and dizziness when ingested for a long time.

Marven couldn't have been unaware of this as a long-time user of embalming liquid, but she still chose to enter the lab before the smell was completely gone.

Quickly walked to the desk where the materials were stacked, bit his fingers, and dripped his blood on the corner of the table on the right.

An electronic sound reached Marven's ears.

[Drops, sample control ......]

【…… The blood matches the original sample and is unlocked. 】

The bookshelves behind the desk slowly moved to the sides, and a safe with a dark black metallic sheen appeared in front of Marven.

If it were Governor Augustus or the commander of the Third Fleet, he would have been surprised, this specification is the highest in the Empire, and it has extremely strong resistance to penetration and heat, and if you want to break it violently without harming the contents of the safe, you can only use frequency weapons, at least in the Empire.

Marven looked left and right for a while, and quickly entered the password.

When she opened the door to the safe and confirmed that the contents were still there, she let out a long sigh of relief, and her emotions were no longer as high as before.

Looking left and right again for a while, she cautiously reclosed the door of the safe, the password automatically changed randomly, and after the blood stains on the corner of the table were wiped away, the bookshelf returned to its original place.

"Fortunately, this thing was not lost, it is a great luck in misfortune......"

Revisiting the environment in the lab, Marven walked over to the dissecting table, where only a pool of collector's blood remained, not even scraps of minced meat.

She gently touched her fingers to the blood on the countertop, and the lab gloves she was wearing did not get wet, indicating that the blood on the table had dried up completely.

"At normal room temperature after the subject's blood is re-flowed, it will dry up for 1 or 2 parent planets, and I will go to a meeting for about 1 parent planet, which means that the intruder entered the lab shortly after I left, and may even be hiding somewhere, watching me leave."

As she spoke, she walked out of the door of the laboratory, which was confronted by a metal wall that connected directly to a horizontal passageway.

Marven searched along the passage and stopped at a corner.

"It should be here, the intruder is here waiting for me to leave."

Marven was sure of his guess, the original identity of the vault was a colonial ship, and the design of the interior of the spaceship, especially the passage, was basically straight away, and there were few covers where he could hide himself.

It is designed to facilitate passage, as the starting point for the construction of the colony, the flow of people in the spaceship will inevitably be large at the beginning, and if decorations are placed, it will inevitably affect the construction of the colony to a certain extent.

At the other end of the passage is a passage that leads directly to the conference room, although there is also a corner, but because it is close to the conference room, there is a certain number of soldiers in the handle.

"The hideout is easy to guess, but how did the intruder know the password to my lab?"

Marven was puzzled by this, and she tried to place a shelf for specimens at the door of the lab, then came to the corner and poked her head out cautiously.

However, she could only barely see the shelf, but she couldn't see the PINpad, which was caused by the bezels on both sides of the keyboard.

Back around the corner at the gate, Marven was still muttering to herself.

"So the intruder knew the password to my lab's door in the first place?"

Marven thought of the meeting she had attended, and in her senses, it seemed as if she and her assistant had been deliberately trying to take her and her assistants away, and the faces she had seen at the meeting came to her mind, and finally settled on Governor Augustus.

Of all the people, only Augustus has the ability and the same motivation, and likewise, he also has such courage.

However, this idea did not last long before Marven dispelled it.

"No, it doesn't make sense, we're in a boat now, everyone will be finished if the boat capsizes, Augustus hasn't lost his mind to that extent, with his style of acting, he won't do things so obviously, the banquet hasn't been long in coming, and doing this kind of small action now is tantamount to telling everyone that the prisoner is him."

"At this critical juncture, it's not me who offends, it's everyone."

"And ......"

Marven's gaze was fixed on the fragments of the container that littered the floor, and she crouched down, picked up a small fragment, and then looked at the entire laboratory floor with confusion.

After a moment of silence, Marven muttered.

“…… It's anomalous. ”

At this moment, a series of footsteps from far and near sounded in the passage.

It was the long-overdue assistants, as well as Commander Allen and other high-ranking colonial officials.

When he saw the tragic situation in the laboratory, Commander Allen couldn't hold back his emotions at once, grabbed the skirt of Governor Augustus's shirt and yelled angrily.

"Augustus, how can you do that! Do you know what it means for you to do this? You are the Governor, you know what! ”

Although the other high-level officials did not speak, the meaning expressed in those annoyed eyes was self-evident.

As Marven thought at the beginning, these high-level officials subconsciously thought that Augustus had done it.

"Watch your words, Alan! Since you know that I am the Governor, then let me go, I command you! ”

Augustus is not a vegetarian either, and he is not weak in the face of the angry eyes of the high-level people, after all, as the most powerful person in the nominal colony, if this is not done well, it will not be his turn to sit in this position.

"Alan, this matter has nothing to do with Augustus, the remnants of the ground speak for themselves."

Marven's calm words stabilized the chaotic situation, and Augustus, who had been grabbed by the placket, was loosened.

Facing the gazes of the high-level executives, Marven did not rush to answer, but asked his assistant.

"How? Did the surveillance catch the intruder? ”

"Photographed, it's a beggar."

"And what is he holding in his hand? Or did you bring anything out of the lab? ”

"No, empty-handed, it came out after the destruction."

Marven nodded, a guess in his mind.

"Commander Allen, please send soldiers to find that guy as soon as possible, that thing may not be human at all."
