“…… That's about it. After saying a long list of things and speculations he had encountered in one breath, Yang Yi took a sip of another glass of wine that Mengsk had poured for him, "In short, UED should be lurking much deeper in the empire than I thought. It's just that I really haven't dug any more now. ”

"Uh-huh......" Mengsk mused, pacing back and forth with his glass in front of several people, but there was barely any ripple on his countenance.

"Now that I'm asking, why on earth are you asking me to do this? You have an entire empire for you to drive, Nova and aren't the NSA agents better suited than me? To be honest, I still can't believe you're my employer. ”

"Hmph, it's because you didn't think about it yourself." Hearing this, Mengsk snorted coldly, "In the entire star sector, apart from me, who else dares to lift the arrest warrant for you from the Security Bureau and the Imperial Army without authorization?" Without my permission, you would have been in prison in Folsom. ”

"Don't blame me for revealing the scars, New Folsom has already been blown up by your old enemy."

"He's just letting those traitors out, and New Folsom will always be a prison for the Empire." Mengsk didn't seem to pay attention to this at all, "But Renault...... That old guy will never understand it for the rest of his life. ”

"As for why I found you...... Isn't it clear to you yourself? There aren't many people who can make a bounty wanted by UED in the Koplu Star District. Mengsk said, a smile that made Yang Yi extremely uncomfortable appeared on the corner of his mouth, "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, and we have common interests, don't we?" ”

And your second question, you've already answered yourself. The UED is deeply rooted in the Empire, and I can't risk them being discovered by having my men find out about the tumors. Otherwise, there will be no other result than scaring the snake. However, your presence gave me a chance. ”

"Then you should not just bet on me, haven't you made other discoveries here in the past few years?"

"Yes, but not much." At the mention of this matter, Mengsk's face did not look good, "The only thing I am glad about is that as far as the current investigation is concerned, those guys from Earth are not deeply rooted in the empire. ”

"If Simonson is ...... too"

"The Son of Keha is no longer the organization that fought for the revolutionary ideals of the past, and I have long understood this. The organization has grown bigger and bigger since the Battle of the Brood, and I've long since stopped having any illusions about the members in it. Mengsk shook his head, "But the Son of Keha is not the core of the Empire, and the core of the Empire will never have a seat for the Son of Keha." ”

Yang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this: "The son of Keha is the army you brought out with your own hands, do you distrust them so much?" ”

"They were the pro-guards, guarding the security of the capital, and that was why they were the easiest people to overthrow the imperial regime. The only consequence of letting them touch the taboo of power is to let them go into an abyss from which they can never return. ”

"In short, UED is still hovering on the surface of the empire." Mengsk pulled the topic back, "But this is also dangerous enough, the people of the empire are in contact with these superficial organizations and forces, if this continues, one day we will fall on the dark stakes arranged by the UED." ”

"So do you have any conclusions now? Is there any reliable information? ”

"Hmm...... I can point you in the right direction, and you can follow this clue to investigate. After a moment of silence, Mengsk picked up the wine bottle and walked in front of Yang Yi, "Your tracking in the empire ends here, and I will let my people take over." Your commission is complete, and I will have someone hand over your reward. ”

"Uh...... What? Yang Yi didn't understand for a while.

"Your commission is complete. The intel you get by risking your life is very useful. My people and I will take over the rest. Mengsk poured wine into his glass, "Your reward will be handed over to you." I'll give you another clue to follow, but not within the Empire, but within the Kemorian Commonwealth. Plus, your wanted warrants will no longer be in effect, and all of the Empire's wanted warrants will end here - as long as you can make sure your men don't raid the Empire's fleet. ”

"Looks like you're not going to tell me what I need."

"This is an Imperial matter, and only the Empire can handle it." Mengsk didn't say much, "The clue I gave you is a mining company under the Kemorian consortium, the Big Drill Mining Company. The Security Service had been able to find out that the company had been in contact with Sirius Research and was later a partner of the Mobius Foundation, providing the Morbius Foundation with the mineral resources it needed. Nova and her ghost will assist you. ”

"Nova? Don't you need her to track down the ghosts? ”

"The jar and his ghost vanished after Char's battle." Mengsk also seemed to have some doubts, "No matter how much Nova checks, she can't find any trace of the ghost." In the past, the wraiths would occasionally send out squads to search for convoys or ships loaded with diazine and phantom gold, but recently they have almost disappeared from the world. ”

"Evaporation from the world? You say that I believe anyone who evaporates from the world, but the ghost ...... They have to at least need gold and diazine to maintain it, right? ”

"Maybe they've found something else. Instead of letting her wander aimlessly in search of the vanished ghost, let her do something more meaningful. I have someone else available for things within the Empire. Mengsk turned and walked back with the bottle, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

"Yes, I want to take my family out of Keha, I want to ask you what you think."

"I don't care." Mengsk's answer was succinct, "Wolfreck has a family that wants to ascend to the throne. Your little gestures don't mean much to me, you can take them with you at any time. If you mean you need my help, you don't have to, all the departure formalities of your family will not be delayed, and you can leave whenever you want. ”

"I have only one answer to this kind of thing, Keha only welcomes those who are willing to believe in it and those in power in it."

"Hmm...... What about the Mobius Foundation? They did a little thing......"

"Naruod is a smart man and a fool." Mengsk shook his head, paused for a moment before continuing, "He's clever in his inventions, and he's trying to make money for himself, but he's stupid because he thinks no one can notice his little moves. I'll reward you for this information. The Mobius Foundation had already partnered with UED, or Sirius Research, two years ago. They reached a partnership agreement, with the Mobius Foundation assisting Sirius in developing the hybrid, and Sirius helping the Mobius Foundation test data and provide funding. ”

"But Naruod was so stupid that he thought he wouldn't be caught betting on two ends. The Security Service discovered the deal a month after it was signed, and subsequent investigations soon revealed the truth. As for the UED...... Discovered after the Battle of Char, more than two-thirds of Naruud's labs in the Sector were destroyed by unknown forces - you should know who did it. ”

"I don't understand, what the hell is Mobius trying to do?" Yang Yi was puzzled, "The hybrid technology in Naruod's hand should be the most precious thing in the star region, what can UED compare to the hybrid?" ”

Mengsk looked at him in surprise, and even Christina, who was next to him, couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Third Miss of the Russell family, why don't you tell your fiancé Naruod what he's trying to do." Mengsk picked up his glass and gestured in Christina's direction.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's for control." Christina was silent for a moment, as if sorting out her words, and then said cautiously, "The hybrid is still controlled only by the Mobius Foundation. He wanted to plant a bomb inside both the Empire and the UED, and the lead and ignition were in his hands, as long as the timing was right......"

"But you don't look like you're worried at all." Yang Yi took over the conversation and looked at Mengsk with a puzzled gaze.

"As I said, Narud is a smart man and an idiot." Mengsk repeated his words, "He's smart, and until now, the Empire really hasn't found a way to control the hybrids." The hybrids in the Empire's existing laboratories can only be kept in stagnant chambers until control technology is developed. But he's also a fool, thinking that as long as he loses control, the empire can't do anything with the hybrid. ”

"So...... Do you have a way? ”

"Hmph." Mengsk laughed, but there seemed to be a rare hint of banter in his laughter, "Of course I have the solution, and haven't you already seen it?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Have you forgotten what you have two warships in your fleet for?"
