Chapter 12: A Feast in the Deep Sea (No. 12) 2
"How so?" Artoria unloads the magazine and refills it with another bullet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Because they took very little stuff, they stole the armored vehicle, even though it could be driven away as long as it was trained, but they only stole two anti-aircraft armored vehicles, because there were not enough people." Guan Yi lowered his head and analyzed, "The Harbin branch has been destroyed, even the defense troops stationed in the warehouse should be dispersed, there is plenty of time to steal the chariots, but they can only snatch two because of lack of manpower." β
"But it stands to reason that if you want to have such a big move, you need to look at the manpower, why are there only so many people?" Keiichi Yamamoto asked out loud.
"It should be preparing for something else, there is a shortage of people to go to Harbin, and there are some losses when dealing with the commissioner of the Harbin branch, after all, the commissioner who can be stationed in the important branch is by no means idle, but knowing this, he has to send troops with great losses to carry out a surprise attack, this is not like the style of 'shadow', there must be something else happening during this period." Guan Yi tapped his palm.
"Acute." Xia Lu exclaimed, "Something else has indeed happened, and there will be no record on it." Zifeng's home is in Harbin, and a 'shadow' sneaked up on his home, but she was defeated by Zifeng and me, and she was injured at that time. β
"It should be related, he can sneak into the admiral's house, it seems that this person is not shallow." Keiichi Yamamoto accosted him on the side.
"Indeed, it does have something to do with that 'Shadow'." Guan Yi said softly, "Go on." β
"After that, it's the Bloody Judgment Day, it's not a secret, I don't need to go into details." Xia Lu didn't click on the screen, and there was no bloody judgment day on it, which was not marked as a classified grade A or above.
"Needless to say, this matter is probably known to everyone in the Admiralty." Artoria sighed.
"Well, the tragedy that happened in Moscow, I heard that the police also intervened in the investigation, but nothing was found, and in the end it was characterized as a simple accident, saying that the glass was broken due to stress, and finally the whole of Moscow carried out a building inspection, and finally found that 12% of the buildings in Moscow were substandard, and a large-scale staircase renovation was carried out." Guan Yi thought for a while and said, "I guess the 'Shadows' at that time had already learned about Judgment Day, and their energy was all focused on Judgment Day, so the lack of manpower sent to Harbin resulted in a lot of gains. It may have been since before Judgment Day, no, it should be said that since before the thirteenth battle for the defense of the solar system, the 'Shadow' has already embarked on a major conspiracy, and the Judgment Day has been used by the 'Shadow' to kill the top of the Admiralty has achieved some purpose. β
"Makes sense, but they've failed again, haven't they?" Xia Lu looked back at Guan Yi, "Only a few high-level executives were shot, and the other high-level ones escaped." β
"No, I should say they succeeded." Guan Yi shook his head with a serious expression, "Think about it differently, why did the 'Shadow' attack the Admiralty?" They should know that when the Admiralty falls, there will be no one to defend against the pilgrims, right? β
"Indeed, but I heard from my friend that this should be an act of revenge." Artoria said.
"Yes, although the version may be different, it should indeed be out of revenge." Keiichi Yamamoto also said at this time.
"Even if it's out of revenge, Shadow knows that the Admiralty can't fall." Guan Yi shook his head, "They are thinking about something else, they know that the Navy cannot fall, or that the Admiralty forces cannot fall." β
"What do you mean?" Keiichi Yamamoto was confused when he heard this, and scratched the back of his head, "I don't understand." β
"Ah, you mean......" Artoria jumped up from the bed.
"The Shadow wants to take the Admiralty's place?" Xia Lu continued.
"No, it won't." Keiichi Yamamoto was startled, his face was full of surprise, and he said softly.
"It's possible, but the Shadows don't have the power to form a new naval fleet, so they're going to take the Admiralty for themselves." Guan Yi said in a deep voice, "Nine times out of ten, the top officials of the Admiralty who were killed were the ones who objected to the 'Shadow' proposal during the secret conversation with the 'Shadow'. β
"Listening to what you say, it's really possible." Keiichi Yamamoto frowned and nodded, "The situation is serious, and some of those surviving Admiralty leaders are complicit in the 'Shadows'. β
"There should be a lot of them, after all, after seeing the Scarlet Judgment Day, there will be some wavering in my heart." Artoria continued.
"It seems that this is right, the 'Shadows' want to replace the Admiralty, or replace the old Admiralty to form an Admiralty with a new name and a new system, so they have caused a series of events." Xia Lu said.
"After that, there was the serial murder case in Tokyo, which Zifeng personally commanded, but he was seriously injured in that operation." Xia Lu just read a sentence simply, but the look on her face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, probably recalling Ye Zifeng's previous scenes with being injected with KS potion by Yuji Yamamoto.
"This must have been instructed by Yuji, but we don't know why they did it." Keiichi Yamamoto said in a tough tone, as if he had finalized it, "Just killing five commissioners won't cause any disruption to the Tokyo headquarters." β
"But wasn't it still occupied by Yuji Yamamoto after that?" Artoria said coldly, "We all know the seriousness of this matter, and this has made us realize that something has gone wrong in Tokyo. β
"That's right." Guan Yi nodded approvingly, "There are two explanations for Chief Ye Zifeng's assassination, the first is that Chief Ye Zifeng was close to the truth at that time, and the other party was afraid of being found out, and the second is that Chief Ye Zifeng was also on the assassination list." β
"Both explanations work, but which is more plausible?" Xia Lu asked.
"I guess it's the second one." Keiichi Yamamoto suddenly spoke, "At that time, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent three Knights of the Round Table and Chief Ye Zifeng, although such a lineup should not be underestimated, but after all, it has only been two days since arriving in Tokyo, and Chief Ye Zifeng has explored the home of Second Lieutenant Shinchi Koyamada, but has not found any valuable clues. I remember that at that time, Director Ye Zifeng wanted me to ask where there was a chemistry laboratory that could be used, and after I told the director the address of the research office at the University of Tokyo, Director Ye Zifeng went to the laboratory to test some paper scraps. β
"Confetti?" Guan Yi frowned and asked.
"Well, it's confetti." Kei Yamamoto nodded, "I inquired about the results of the experiment, and the tester told me that the confetti was washi paper, and a trace amount of ******** was detected on it. β
"What kind of paper is washi?" Artoria was a little confused.
"It's a paper unique to Japan, and I'm afraid it's a special paper for making yen." Guan Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, "There is a muscle relaxant on the coin, this should be a trap, but if the opponent is superb, this should be a trick to confuse the investigators." β
Guan Yi's mind is not an ordinary good man, the possibility that Ye Zifeng had just thought of before he was injured Guan Yi judged it almost immediately after listening to the brief description of the incident.
"It must be so." Xia Lu patted the back of the computer chair, "At that time, it was an infiltrator called Assassin who assassinated Zifeng, and his strength was naturally outstanding. β
Keiichi Yamamoto wanted to say something, but he held back his acquaintance and didn't speak.
"Then it seems that Chief Ye Zifeng has been put on the kill list, but is it good to assassinate a genius fleet commander after the 'Shadow' seizes power?" Guan Yi was a little puzzled, it seemed that this situation made her a little unable to turn around, "As far as I know, the 'Stalingrad' fleet is the first barrier for mankind to defend the solar system, relying on the outstanding performance of Chief Ye Zifeng to save mankind from fire and water twice, and assassinating Chief Ye Zifeng is really not something that a smart power can do." β
"Well, that makes sense." Artoria chimed in.
Without a follow-up, Xia Lu continued to look at the computer screen and clicked on the next entry.
"However, some things after that have nothing to do with the 'Shadow', such as the explosion of the nitrogen-13 storage tank at the Laurel Base later, which said that there were no casualties, but it did cause some losses to the Laurel Base." Xia Lu added.
"This matter should have nothing to do with this matter, is there a detailed introduction above?" Guan Yi asked out loud.
"I didn't go into too much detail, but I did say a list of people who would carry out the mission." Xia Lu scrolled down and looked at the integration report.
"It shouldn't matter, the person participating in the mission won't be 'Shadow'?" Keiichi Yamamoto spread his hands.
"It shouldn't matter, after all, the incident about the 'Shadow' happened on the ground, even if it infiltrates the Laurel Crown Base, it shouldn't cause such a big storm, the Laurel Crown Base is the last line of defense of mankind, and once something happens to the Laurel Crown Base, the 'Shadow' is definitely asking for trouble." Guan Yi said affirmatively, "This incident should just be an accident. β
"But it just so happened that not long after this matter was resolved, the 'Praetorian Guard' fleet escort team stationed at the Laurel Crown base discovered the traces of the Pilgrim's unknown model warship, which is presumed to have some kind of optical camouflage function." Xia Lu clicked on the next report, and the compiler of the report was very familiar, Ye Kexin, the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
"The report only wanted to say that it was possible that the ship brought the landing force of the pilgrims to the surface of the moon, but the report did not specifically explain the clues and basis, only a simple sentence, which may be unwilling to reveal anything." Xia Lu frowned and flipped through the report, her face leaned in front of the computer screen, and she was dyed a dark blue.
"If you look at it from a distance, even if you are an adult, you may be nearsighted with high-intensity eyes." Keiichi Yamamoto reminded him as he leaned over to the bed with a ready-made twin ******, picked up the last pistol in the equipment box and began to load.
"Oh." Xia Lu nodded, and Yamamoto Keiichi's reminder made Xia Lu realize that she was so close to the computer screen, and hurriedly pulled the distance away, Xia Lu continued, "But in the end, it was written that the battleship was killed by the Admiralty's test weapon, and the specific details of the weapon were not revealed, not even the name. β
"By the way, do you remember the crash in Tokyo a year ago?" Keiichi Yamamoto seemed to have thought of something.
"Uh-huh, of course I do." Xia Lu turned around and nodded, "At that time, I didn't eat at the convenience store, and the parts and fragments of the battleship began to fall from the sky, so I ran back desperately." β
"Actually, it's safer to wait until the fall stops and come back, I really don't know what you think." Keiichi Yamamoto pursed his lips and continued to press the bullet into the magazine.
"I ......" Xia Lu was speechless for a moment, and then whispered, "Aren't I worried about Zifeng." β
"But if you really think about what Chief Ye Kexin said, the pilgrims must have landed on the surface of the moon for some purpose, and it is not limited to blowing up a nitrogen-13 storage tank, and even if it is finally destroyed, it must have completed the mission." Guan Yi pondered and said, "I read the report on the Tokyo crash, the destroyer G-1012A 'Wraith', and I heard that the escape pod was still not found ten minutes after the accident, so it was characterized as a full death, which is the first case in the history of the Admiralty. β
"However, it can also be seen from this that the Pilgrim warships are heading towards the Earth Defense Line, and since their primary goal is the moon, leaving the moon means that the mission has been completed." Guan Yi added, "What did the pilgrims set up in the laurel base. β
"I've heard that nitrogen-13 is very destructive, and the second basement floor has been blown up, this should be a very serious consequence, right?" Artoria thought and said.
"Not enough, not at all, the pilgrims laid something on the laurel base." Guan Yi said with certainty, "However, I belong to the Security Council and am in charge of the security affairs of the members of the fleet on the ground, and I don't know much about what happens in space, so it is not good and unprofessional to draw conclusions." β
"Nothing, none of us thought of that." Xia Lu shook her head, "Let's not talk about this yet." β
"After that, there was the 'Holy Grail War', but this was our offensive against the 'Shadow', after which the 'Shadow' was quiet for a long time, but in just a few days, the 'Holy Grail Host' in Santiago was destroyed, and the 'Holy Grail War' ended." Xia Lu stared at the screen and said, "Then the Bermuda Research Institute was hacked, and more than 95% of the Pilgrim's mysterious instrument research materials were stolen, and the losses were very large, and so far there is no research to understand who did it." β
"I know that." Artoria raised her hand to speak, "My friend asked someone else to do it, I don't know why, but my friend has been collecting the remains of unknown civilizations left on the earth, before in Walkangshire, England, I accidentally found a piece of pure white metal in a bar, which was used by the owner of the bar to pad the corner of the table, I paid twenty pounds to buy this piece of metal, but then it was stolen, and when I chased it to Shanghai, I found that the person who stole the metal I bought was my friend's men." β
Artoria was a little serious.
"I don't know why, but my friend is interested in pilgrims and unknown civilizations, and she doesn't have a good relationship with the Shadow."
"However, this also made the institute spend a lot of energy, otherwise the 'Mariana Project' would not have been delayed for a year to start." Xia Lu sat in front of the computer and sighed.
"But that's a bit of a problem." Guan Yi spoke at this time, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face, "The appearance of the three parties with unknown purposes will make this matter a lot more troublesome. β
"The 'Mariana Project' was infiltrated by the 'Shadows' before it officially began, and now it is estimated that it has already caused an impact." Xia Lu's expression was as solemn, "But why, what is the connection between this, on the one hand, Yuji Yamamoto wants to seize the command of the fleet, and on the other hand, it is to interfere with the progress of the 'Mariana Project', I don't understand, what is the relationship between the two sides." β
Xia Lu shook her head vigorously, the chaotic thoughts in her mind made Xia Lu slightly dizzy, and sleepiness struck again, but Xia Lu tried hard to hold on and not let herself fall asleep.
"It should have something to do with it, we might as well make an assumption." Guan Yi got up from the bed and paced slowly in the room, "Sister Artoria's friend has nothing to do with the 'Shadow', but his subordinates secretly colluded with the 'Shadow' and handed the information that has been stolen to the 'Shadow' This makes the 'Shadow' get information about what instruments the pilgrims have, which also makes them know the secret in the Mariana Trench, although I don't know what is in the Mariana Trench, but this must be very important, or for the Admiralty and ' The Shadows are very important to some of them. β
"What do you mean by some people in 'Shadows'?" Keiichi Yamamoto asked suspiciously.
"The Shadows lurk in the Admiralty, they are clearly aware of the advantages that the Pilgrims bring to unknown civilizations, so they should be the ones who strongly support the interference with the 'Mariana Project', and the Pilgrims' instruments should also be related to the Mariana Trench, where there must be something of interest to the Pilgrims." Guan Yi faced Keiichi Yamamoto and talked eloquently.
"It's terrifying, haven't you really seen these classified documents in advance?" Xia Lu wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Guan Yi with a surprised face.
"Unusual talent for reasoning." Artoria snapped her fingers and stood up from the bed, "That's right, the pilgrim instrument is indeed related to the Mariana Trench, I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it seems to point to something." β
"Do you still plan to hide the truth and not tell it?" Yamamoto looked at Xia Lu and said softly.
"Hey~" Xia Lu sighed, "That's right, Guan Yi's push-off is very correct, the pilgrim mysterious instrument hidden on Jupiter is indeed pointing at the earth all the time, and after analyzing it together, we found that its final point is the Mariana Great Trench, and when Guam's special tactical command center and research station scanned the deep part of the trench, it was found that there was an unknown civilization building in the trench. β
"That's what the Mariana Project was born for." Xia Lu thought for a while and added.
"It doesn't just look like we're watching the trail of an unknown civilization." Guan Yi nodded, "The pilgrims are also looking at these ruins, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why the pilgrims are waging war against us." β
"The 'Shadow' wants to replace the Admiralty and seize the fleet, so they start with weapons, raid the Admiralty's weapons storage warehouses one after another and succeed repeatedly, and then start to attack the members of the Admiralty who oppose the 'Shadow', the Scarlet Judgment Day is the best example of this, after all this is done, the 'Shadow' began to plan the capture of the fleet to begin, but they have been worried, what if we can't resist the invasion of the Pilgrims after we take the fleet? So the eyes of the 'Shadows' focused on the exploration of unknown civilizations, but someone was one step ahead of them, and Sister Artoria's friend had already begun to explore the Pilgrims and unknown civilizations, although it was not known for what purpose, but it was clear that the collection was clearly not to help the Admiralty. Guan Yi began to analyze this series of events, "However, her subordinates betrayed her and handed over the information they had already obtained to the 'Shadow' so that the 'Shadow' knew the Admiralty's plan of action to explore the unknown civilization, and now they are starting to fight on two fronts, on the one hand, they will attack this unknown civilization, and on the other hand, they will start the plan to seize the fleet." β
"But will it be too little to seize the fleet with three hundred men, even if it is a genetic enhancer." Artoria asked, a little confused.
"However, three hundred people can easily occupy important strategic points, and they can continue to genetically strengthen the members of the Admiralty there, corroding a big tree from the inside is far faster than invading from the outside, the Admiralty is now like an old giant, half a century of polishing has not only made the Admiralty not grow but damaged its vitality, the internal system is chaotic, and the people are not aligned, these shortcomings will always make the Admiralty fall." Guan Yi sighed, "But we're here to give the Admiralty a little more time to bring it back to life." β
"Three hundred, enough to put the saint. All the transport ports of Thomas's shipyard are occupied, and although we have seen the strength of the genetic enhancers, they must not be weak. Guan Yi added.
"It's not weak." Artoria stroked her forehead.
"That's obviously a strong pervert." Xia Lu lay on the back of the computer chair.
"Not an opponent at all." Keiichi Yamamoto also spoke at this time.
"So it's obvious that the individual combat ability of the genetic enhancer is very strong, and even if they have not received professional training, they can easily master various combat skills with the strength of their bodies. They don't even have to pay too much attention to studying, and an extremely active brain will provide them with a big bargain. Guan Yi sat back on the edge of the bed, took out the pistol in the holster, and played with it in the palm of his hand.
"Very well analyzed." A burst of applause came from outside the door, and then a sound was kicked open next to the door, and the four people in the room were startled, and they all picked up their weapons and pointed their guns in the direction of the door.
The tall figure stood at the door of the room, his slender waist seemed to be a willow in the wind, and his cold hanging eyes revealed an indescribable charm, and there were several bright red flowers at the hem of the plain white long skirt, and the waist seemed to be hollowed out, revealing the skin that was as white as clotted cream.
"Who are you?"
"Is that you?"
Xia Lu and Artoria spoke at the same time, but one was a stern reprimand, and the other was slightly surprised and vigilant, but then Artoria seemed to understand what was going on, and immediately put down the pistol in her hand and ran towards the person at the door.
"You know?" Xia Lu lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, but before she could finish speaking, the figure at the door fell to the ground weakly, fortunately, Artoria came to her in time, grabbed the figure, and put the figure into the room, and Guan Yi on the side stepped forward and closed the door.
βriderοΌβ Artoria lays the rider flat on the bed. At this time, the four people in the room saw the dress of the rider clearly, it was indeed a plain white dress, but there was no pattern on it, the bright red flowers on the skirt were blood stains on the spilled relief, and the hollow on the waist was a hole caused by the bullet, and the waist seemed to have been slammed by something, and it was bruised at this time.
"Something went wrong, Su Ling was kidnapped." Rider said a little weakly, "But I didn't expect it to be you in the room." β
"Don't talk about that, it looks like it hurts." Artoria looked up at Guan Yi, "Let's find out if there's safflower oil or something." β
"Oh." Guan Yi nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran to the cabinet on the side and rummaged inside.
"What's going on, who is she?" Keiichi Yamamoto walked to the side of the bed with the ****** on his back, and couldn't help but turn his head away when he looked at the thrilling beauty on the bed.
"Rider, I thought that the cavalry, one of the seven existing infiltrators of the 'Shadow', was originally under the orders of the master, but now he is a subordinate of my friend Su Ling." Artoria said slowly.
"Wait, Su Ling, this name is familiar." Keiichi Yamamoto suddenly raised his hand to stop Artoria's words, and then lowered his head in contemplation, as if desperately searching for information about the word "Su Ling" in his mind.
"Ah, I remember." Keiichi Yamamoto clapped his hands one by one and looked up sharply.
"Yes, that's right." As if he could see what Keiichi Yamamoto was thinking, Rider nodded weakly, "Su Zhe's daughter, Su Ling, the artificial embryo was injected into her mother twenty years after her uncle escaped from the Admiralty, and she is now nineteen years old. β
"It's amazing." Xia Lu gently covered her mouth in disbelief, but in the story that the assassin told to Keiichi Yamamoto that she vaguely heard at Naha Airport in Okinawa before, the name Su Ling appeared.
"It's really surprising, but it's already a surprising fact, I once swore to Su Ling's uncle to do something for him to repay him for saving me from the flames of war, I did it, and after destroying the Holy Grail base, I returned to Su Ling's side, and now in my eyes, Su Ling is the real master." Rider whispered, and then let out a long sigh, "I said I was going to protect the master, but I was so incompetent that I let the other party snatch the master from under my nose." β
"What the hell is going on, tell me more about it." Artoria sat down on the edge of the bed anxiously and took the rider's hand, "Where's Saber?" Where did Saber go? β
