When Haoyi ordered Guo Ling to lead a task force to cooperate with Lei to sweep away the swarm warlord Shili in other areas of the planet Tikru, the third reconstruction of Tiko City was nearing completion. Compared to the old city, the new Tico city is more grandiose, not only are every building unusually tall, but even the streets in the city are much wider than before. The effective living space of the entire urban area is more than twice that of the old city. Despite this, the city of Nova Tico is several times more prosperous than before. The air locomotive lane is full of new locomotives, and the sidewalks on the ground are full of people, and the hustle and bustle looks no less than that of the representative modern metropolis of other star districts.

In Tico, there is a lot of traffic in front of the government building in the city center. Directly opposite it is a more than 100-storey interstellar luxury hotel called Paramount. Behind a holographic floor-to-ceiling window on the 19th floor of the hotel, a glimmer of light faintly flashes. The bright light was not formed by refraction of the sun, but was actually a faint light emitted by a high-precision electron telescope.

Behind the telescope was a pair of sharp old eyes, a red copper face with ravines, as if to tell others that its owner was a weathered old man. He is none other than Andrew, the former head of the Federal Military Intelligence Department in Eder Planet. At this moment, Andrew's identity is already the deputy minister in charge of all the planets of the Military Intelligence Department in the Fifth Theater, and his rank is second only to the head of the Military Intelligence Department Headquarters, Art.

After successfully provoking the conflict between Haoyi and Lin Bin, Andrew was originally ordered to withdraw to Earth with all the senior agents of Eder Planet. However, due to the assassination of Lin Bin by Dalena's team, and the unexpected failure due to the appearance of traitors by MIA agents, Art had to order Andrew to bring a new batch of agents back to Eder Planet to execute the so-called "Phantom Snow Jihua" and replace all the agents of the entire MI Division of Eder Planet. In addition, Art also issued a special order to Andrew alone, making every effort to find out what happened to Dalena and Hu Erpang, who fell into Lin Bin's hands.

However, when Andrew rushed to Eder Planet, he found that Dalena and Hu Erpang were not in the Fifth War Zone Headquarters Base. After a series of efforts by the novices, Andrew finally figured out what happened to Dalena and the two.

His subordinates reported to Andrew that Dalena and the others, who had fallen into the hands of the Fifth War Zone, seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and then were sent to the St. Prory Star Region to carry out a special mission with a secret SSS classification by Hua Wu, the current No. 2 mission of the Fifth War Zone.

After learning this news, Andrew quickly judged that Lin Bin might be using the two Dalena, who were familiar with Haoyi, to take some kind of action against Haoyi. The so-called SSS-level special mission is actually an assassination mission nine times out of ten.

Based on this judgment, Andrew urgently reported to Art, and at the same time ordered his deputy to take over to continue to complete the Phantom Snow Jihua, while he took a group of henchmen and secretly rushed to Sintikru, the capital of the St. Proli Star District, to track down the whereabouts of Dalena and the others.

After arriving in Tikru, Andrew and his men quietly infiltrated the newly rebuilt city of Tiko. In his opinion, Haoyi, who is obviously already the core ruler of St. Prory, must live in the capital city of Tico. And Dalena and the others, who were controlled by the Fifth War Zone, if they wanted to assassinate Haoyi, they must also enter Tico City. As long as he guards the new government building in Tico City, Andrew is sure to find Dalena in the middle of nowhere.

Andrew, of course, has another magic weapon in his hands. In order to strengthen the control of ghost agents such as Dalena, the Federal Military Department quietly implanted a high-performance control chip in the tissue near the heart of her body when she was a child. This chip was named "Ghost Soul" by military researchers.

Compared with the puppet chips invented by Lin Bin's subordinates in the Fifth War Zone, the chip is not functionally good, and it only has two functions: long-distance positioning and remote detonation. The long-range positioning function, as the name suggests, allows the military department to know where the ghost is anytime and anywhere. The remote detonation function allows the military department to detonate the "ghost soul" implanted in the ghost when it loses control of the ghost, or when the ghost suddenly mutinies and other behaviors, and directly destroys the ghost.

Compared to the fact that the golem chip can only cause the death of the host's brain, the remote detonation function of the ghost soul is more deadly. The explosive munition contained inside the chip is actually a high-performance nuclear munition, which is powerful enough to destroy everything within a radius of tens of meters centered on the ghost, and its lethality is almost equivalent to that of a high-powered aerial bomb. This is more frightening than the puppet chip.

Moreover, the performance of Ghost Souls is more stable than that of puppet chips, and it will not be affected by factors such as time and environment, so it can be lurking in the body of each ghost for several years or even decades.

Used to control the ghost soul from a distance, it is a miniature signal generator, called the soul lock by the white coats, and is described as a deadly key that can lock the target ghost. Right now, Andrew has a set of Dalena's soul locks in his hands. It was with this set of soul locks that Andrew led his men and chased him all the way to Tikru.

However, since coming to Tikru, the soul lock, which was originally able to pinpoint Dalena's location, has inexplicably had a signal disorder. I don't know if it's due to signal interference, the soul lock has not been able to accurately read the specific location coordinates of Dalena, and can only roughly determine that Dalena is in an area of dozens of kilometers centered on Tico City.

In desperation, Andrew relied on his own reasoning and led his men to infiltrate the hotel opposite the new government building in Tico City.

"Sir, Minister Art has sent a secret telegram asking us about our progress!"

Andrew, who was intently observing the situation in the government building opposite, heard a deep report from one of his subordinates.

"Calling back, Dalena's soul lock has a jishu malfunction, and we can't pinpoint its exact location, but our department has roughly locked down her hiding place. It is expected that there will be new progress in the next two days at the earliest! ”

Andrew raised his head, frowned and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to his subordinates.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate respectfully replied, then turned and entered a nearby room.

"Little card!" Andrew waved to one of his men standing on the other side, allowing him to take over and continue to observe the government building opposite.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to take over the high-precision electronic telescope.

"Dingdong......" Andrew rubbed his somewhat sore temples and was about to go to the couch to rest for a while. At that moment, a hurried doorbell rang abruptly in the room. This extremely abrupt and strange doorbell made all the men in the room startled, and they all looked at the leader Andrew.

Andrew's heart was also startled by the doorbell, his old brows frowned, and then he rushed to another subordinate guarding near the door, bowed slightly, and at the same time walked quietly to the position against the wall, and then reached for a high-powered electromagnetic pistol in his arms. Seeing this, the other subordinates also quietly took out their sidearms and silently surrounded the door.

"It's Xiao Ding!" The subordinate who walked to the back of the door, opened the electronic observation screen on the door, and saw a young man wrapped in a black wide trench coat and a falcon badge pinned to the neckline, and hurriedly turned back to report to Andrew in a deep voice.

Hearing that it was his own people outside the door, the agents in the room suddenly breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and with a wave of Andrew's hand, his subordinates put away their weapons, and nodded at the subordinates guarding the door.

"Buzz!" With a soft sound, the sturdy automatic door opened, and the young man in a black trench coat stumbled in as if he had been seriously injured. His appearance frightened Andrew and the others again.

"Xiao Ding, what's going on?" Andrew hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the young man who had fallen into the sofa, removed the black trench coat on his body, and asked anxiously in a trembling voice.

It turned out that the young man under the trench coat had a scorched black wound on his chest, a wisp of scarlet blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale and dying.

"Sir, sir, I, I'm being targeted by the other party's agents!" The young agent struggled to open his heavy eyelids and whispered angrily.

"Don't talk yet! Small card! Andrew's heart jumped when he heard this, his face changed again, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to the men beside him.

"Understood, sir!" The agent named Xiaoka hurriedly answered, turned around and took out a black leather case from the hidden compartment under the sofa, fiddled in it, took out a syringe filled with blue liquid, got up and walked to the dying agent, aimed it at his right arm, and gently stabbed it.

"How? Feeling better? Andrew asked the young man in a rare whisper. The reason for this is not that this cold-blooded agent leader "loves soldiers like children". In fact, the injection that Xiaoka injected into the agent was an adrenaline stimulant. Its effect can make a seriously injured and dying person, accelerate the secretion of adrenal hormones in the body, activate the potential in the body, and send a false hallucinatory signal to the brain, so that the injured person becomes energetic in a short time, as if he has never been seriously injured. The phenomenon is almost equivalent to, in the usual sense, a return to light.

The potion did not revive the badly wounded agent, but instead shortened the agent's short time. It's just that in this short period of time in Zuihou, this returning agent has enough energy to finish what he needs to say.

Now that the man was about to die, Andrew had him injected with the stimulant that would only hasten his death. That's why, out of apology, Andrew's face became so kind.

"I'm sorry sir, I was in a small alley in the southeast of Tico City, and I was suddenly targeted by the other party's agents!" The seriously injured and dying agent's originally pale face suddenly became rosy, and his words became much smoother. Although he knew that his boss had given him a deadly dose of stimulant, the young agent did not have the slightest resentment, but nodded lightly to Andrew, sorted out his thoughts, and reported to him: "In order to get rid of the other party's tracking, I took them around the city. I was injured by a sniper in the shadows, and I had to jump into a sewer well, and I escaped by luck! ”

"Are you sure they didn't follow you after they wounded you?" Andrew asked with a frown.

"Nope! However, sir, I feel that the number of agents on the other side in Tico City has suddenly increased, and almost every street and alley can see some strange people! I suspect that the other side is very likely to launch a large-scale manhunt! Xiao Ding used a little strength to remind Andrew dutifully.
