In the conference room of TPC, there was a sudden meeting.

"The meeting was supposed to resume after the official start of space development, but now, something unexpected happened." Yoshioka knocked on the table, "Have you read the summary of the meeting that you just sent to everyone?" The next thing I'm going to talk about is top secret, don't just reveal this matter when you go back, even the most trusted subordinates. ”

Hearing Yoshioka's words, everyone nodded, even Keigo Masaki nodded with disdain, although there was no detailed explanation on the summary of the meeting, but from the few words, everyone realized that something might happen, which is why Keigo Masaki chose to come to the meeting.

Yoshioka saw that everyone was looking at him, and he didn't sell it, but said quickly, "The members of the police department who have been inserted into Kiri Elrod have sent the latest information, and there is a combination of some Kiri Elrod people and local forces that oppose TPC. ”

"We haven't found out what they're up to, but based on the staff's recent inferences, we speculate that they should be trying to take advantage of the gap between the witch Saeki and their trip to the Naga home planet, and the gap when our TPC is setting its sights on the development of the universe, and unite on Earth to do something unfavorable to TPC."

As soon as Yoshioka's words fell, everyone's faces showed various expressions, some of them had sorrow on their faces, and they didn't want to have another incident after a few days of peace, while others had doubts on their faces, they really didn't expect that the people from the police department had actually inserted their hands into the Kiri Elrod people.

Captain Wind, who was on the screen, touched his chin and said with some confusion, "Your police department is so powerful, how did you manage to plant spies in a civilization like the Kiri Elrod that relies on brainwave communication?" ”

"There are some Kiri Elrodians who have fused with humans, and although these people are not orthodox Kiri Elrodians after the fusion, they are always easier to understand the inner workings of Kiri Elrod than ordinary humans."

Yoshioka brought this topic lightly, he didn't mean to hide it, but it's always a little sad to say it, because most of the police officers who choose to merge with the Kiri Elrod people are actually desperate and make a choice.

In the final analysis, the casualties rate of soldiers in the police department is high because of the nature of their work.

"Why do you want to do it again? We've given enough of the Kiri Elrods, right? The Nanase Captain of the Delta Space Station had a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, "That huge mechanical island, as well as the distant Naga Star, we also leave them with space to move freely on Earth, as long as they don't interfere with the normal life of human beings, we treat them equally, isn't that enough?" ”

"I remember that even their witches and other elders have acknowledged their partnership with humans."

"There will always be people who are dissatisfied!" Keigo Masaki said angrily, "Isn't it normal for one or two bed bugs to appear in this kind of change in the direction of the entire civilization?" ”

Megumi Kuma, who had never spoken, nodded, "There are many such things in history, and there will be people who want to restore in every overthrown dynasty, although these Kiri Elod people have not experienced the so-called dynastic change, but in their worldview, such a thing may be more serious than the so-called dynastic change. ”

"Humph! The mud can't hold up the wall! Keigo Masaki said disdainfully, "Thirty million years, the result is no progress at all, and now there is finally a slight change, but civil strife has begun again, so what do you want to call yourself the savior of mankind?" ”

"No, no, it's just a small group of people who have ideas." Yoshioka waved his hand, "And it's not just Kiri Elrod, in fact, according to the intelligence of our police officers, there are also a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the TPC system involved in this incident."

"Well, actually, after the establishment of the TPC system, the rights were weakened, or even directly deprived, as far as I know, these people were already operating in the shadows, trying to threaten the TPC system in various ways.

Terrorist attacks, coups, power grabbings, popular elections."

"They are in different directions, but they all have the same goal." Yoshioka looked around at his colleagues, "You should know that after TPC came to power, although some people in the old era were not liquidated, there were always people who were terrified because their butts were not clean.

Even if we say that we TPC will not investigate the past on a large scale, they are still afraid, afraid that we are just waiting for the day when we will completely gain a foothold, and afraid that after we sit firmly, we will make an example of them at a critical moment. ”

"Who knows, although TPC now treats everyone in the old era equally, and has no intention of liquidating, but what?" Captain Storm said half-jokingly, "Maybe that's what Director Sawai thinks, and one day in the future, after TPC begins to have a 'deterioration' tendency, Director Sawai will begin to liquidate these people with the things of the old era.

When the time comes, you can quickly clear the political environment within TPC with a little control of the scope, which is a very useful method, isn't it? ”

"It's really a great way to liquidate and then amplify things to accomplish your goals." Yoshioka looked at the wind on the other side of the screen and nodded, and then said with a speechless face, "But you know that this is impossible, although the old man Sawai has a lot of eyes, he won't work in this way,

Once he, the founder of the TPC, begins a political reckoning, then the price after that is known to everyone, and as long as someone starts the way, then it will be very difficult to curb this trend."

"Tsk, your words really dirty my ears." , Masaki Keigo snorted coldly, even if he has been in TPC for so long, he still doesn't like to participate in the discussion of this kind of topic, in his opinion, if there is a mistake, he will be punished, if there is an enemy, he will be hunted down, if there is a problem, he will be studied, and if there is merit, he will be rewarded,

Logic and fairness are the basis of everything, and he doesn't look down on it at all compared to what he doesn't have.

"You were indeed born in a good time." Yoshioka glanced at Keigo Masaki, and then said with mockery, "That is, the old man Sawai was full of idealism when he established TPC, otherwise with your attitude, he would have been played to death by those old things back then."

"It's different, the political environment of the old era is different from the present." The person in charge of the Delta space station, Lina's father Nanase is also an old man, he shook his head, "Don't talk about this topic, isn't the current TPC very good?" Everyone has room to show what they can do. ”

Nanase is a good man, which can be seen from the fact that he endured until the last second in the face of the cosmic enemy attack, he wants to play a round and discuss the work after that.

However, Keigo Masaki didn't think so, he looked at Yoshioka and snorted coldly, and mocked bluntly, "Hmph! If you can't do it, go back and rest early, and the opening is what kind of person was back then, who knows how much ambition there is now."

Quarrels are the norm at TPC meetings, after all, the people who attend this meeting are very different in age, expertise, experience, and philosophy, and conflicts are commonplace.

Seeing that a good meeting was about to turn into a quarrel again, Megumi Kuruma slapped the table dissatisfied, "Give me all the quiet, if the TPC opposition among the Kiri Elrod people really unites with the TPC opposition in human society, then this will inevitably have a huge impact on our work,

This matter involves a wide range of areas, the Police Bureau, the General Staff, and the Victory Team, because of the development of the universe by the Kiri Elrod people, this matter even involves the Space Development Bureau, the Delta Space Station, and the lunar base Caro.

We must unite and strangle the actions of these opposition in the cradle! ”

"Wait?" Nanyuan suddenly frowned and looked around, "What about Castor?" Didn't he return to TPC after completing his sabbatical? Didn't anyone inform him about this meeting? No, I remember I left him a message."

"I guess I'm working on some kind of space development plan." Megumi said subconsciously, "Didn't you say it before, he and the director came up with something, and they wanted to find someone to help develop the solar system." ”

"How's it going?" Yoshioka asked casually, "If he can't settle down, we won't be able to move forward." ”

"The progress doesn't seem to be very good, I heard him say that he needs an opportunity, but he has not been able to find this opportunity, he even came to ask the victory team if there is any huge threat on the earth recently" Megumi thought about Casto's expression at the time for a while, and then said with certainty,

"Everyone is still ready that if he and Sawai's plan can't be carried out, we still have to develop the solar system ourselves."

"Then the focus of TPC's work will be mainly in two directions." Yoshioka nodded and began to summarize the meeting,

"On the one hand, on Earth, all people cooperate with each other to do their best to fight against the possible Kiri Elrod people-human joint rebel groups, to ensure the work of TPC on Earth, and to ensure the normal operation of human society."

"On the other hand, we still have to be prepared for the universe, and if Sawai and Casto's plan cannot succeed, then the Police Bureau, the Science Bureau, and the Space Development Bureau will take the lead, and the victory team will assist in the development of the solar system."

The others looked at each other and nodded, and they had nothing else to add to the direction of their work next.

At this moment, suddenly the alarm in the conference room went off, and in an instant, everyone took out their communicators, and before they could see what was happening, a communication interface cut directly into the big screen where Captain Hurricane and Captain Nanase were.

"This is Ye Rui, this is Ye Rui." Ye Rui's avatar appeared in front of everyone in the conference room, and Megumi Kuruma also walked in front of everyone for the first time, Yoshioka said directly, "This is a high-level conference room, what does it mean for the alarm to sound in the conference room, you know, not to mention that you are also directly connected to the communication, you better explain it well."

"Humph! Don't talk yet! Keigo Masaki snorted coldly, interrupted Yoshioka's questioning, and then quickly explained, "If you turn on the PDI or other communication equipment on your PDA, the alarm should have been sent to you." ”

"Oh yes, I've just sent an automatic notification to the highest level of secrecy through Team Victory's monitoring system." Ye Rui nodded and added.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Megumi Kuruma lowered their heads in the TPC conference room and began to flip through the PDI, while Captain Tempest at the Lunar Base and Captain Nanase at the Delta Space Station began to tap on the keyboard.

Keigo Masaki didn't pay attention to the others, but frowned and said to Norui on the screen, "Have you repeated the comparison?" Is it the room where Casto is located? What kind of energy fluctuations are more than 50 percent similar to those in the deep Pacific Ocean? ”

"Yes, it was brief, but it did detect a very powerful energy fluctuation, suspected to be a similar energy labeled as a dark energy,

And I can assure you that there can't be a problem with the monitored data. Ye Rui nodded, and then his expression suddenly became a little strange, "In fact, the probe inside the TPC was originally proposed by Mr. Castor, and he said that the strongest fortress is always easy to be dismantled from the inside, so he ordered someone to install a new probe inside. ”

"I know." Surprisingly, Keigo Masaki also nodded, "The Pacific deep-sea energy data in the database was taken from me, if the contrast ratio is really more than fifty percent."

Just as Keigo Masaki and Norui were talking, suddenly one command after another came from their ears.

"All police officers are on standby! Put on alert! Yoshioka suddenly shouted into the other end of the communicator, "Elite! Gondo prepares the elite troops, and it may be useful next! ”

"All members of the Victory Team will return to TPC headquarters immediately!" Megumi Kuruma frowned and shouted into the communicator, "Also, call Kazuma Asuka and Saeki the witch by the way, I must keep abreast of their latest movements." ”

On the screen, the figures of Captain Hurricane and Captain Nanase were long gone, and they had ended their communication and began to arrange work for their subordinates.

Ye Rui was a little caught off guard by all these changes, he wanted to know what was going on, but Nanyuan Chief of Staff had already looked at the others on the scene and began to give orders,

"The previous plan may have to be changed immediately, Yoshioka and your men must keep an eye on Kiri Elrod - the human rebel group, and immediately provide a list of people who can now enter the fight."

"Megumi Middle, the people of your victory team immediately go to Casto's room to make sure that he is still there, of course, we all know, there is a high probability that he should have left, once you find out that he is not in the room, immediately start the search work!"

"Keigo Masaki, your relationship with Castor I hope you can contact him, and if you can, you can do it directly to him"

"Yoshioka and I are going to go to Sawai right now and see if we can find out what Kasto might want to do from him."

"Wait! The previous alert was just." Ye Rui hurriedly spoke, he just reported according to the regulations, but he didn't know why, he felt that these leaders in front of him seemed to be about to 'do something' to Casto.

"Your people, you can explain." Yoshioka hurriedly walked past Megumi Kuruma and left the conference room as he spoke.

Megumi Kuruma looked at the conference room that quickly became empty, sighed, and then said to Norui, "Do you think we're going to do something to Casto?" ”

Ye Rui nodded subconsciously, "There is a dark aura in Mr. Casto's room, under normal circumstances, we shouldn't be considering, is he being attacked?" ”

Megumi Juma glanced at Norui's sincere face, and then looked at the news that 'Mr. Casor is not in the room' sent back by Dagu in PDI, shook his head helplessly, and then directly opened the communication and connected it to the communicators of all the victory teams,

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is top secret, and everyone will come back and make up a report."

"Two things have happened on Earth recently, the first is the latest intelligence that has just been obtained, the opposition among the Kiri Elrod people and the opposition in human society have united, although we don't know what they are going to do, but it is clear that their target is TPC

I would like to add that although I did not come to the meeting, I was present at the same time as this news in Casto's PDI."

"The second thing happened earlier, Director Sawai and Consultant Castor had made a plan in private, they wanted to find some cosmic people from the universe to help with the development of the solar system, but according to Casto's previous performance, this matter should have been a setback, and he lacked an opportunity."

Megumi Juma sighed, "Originally, the result of our meeting today was to focus on the big and the small, and focus on the rebel organization first, as for the matter of space development, we plan to put it aside first.

But the problem now is that it just so happened that at the same time that we had just come to this conclusion, the alarm went off. ”

Megumi Kuruma is the one who watched Casto grow up, and at the same time, she herself grew up with Director Sawai, and she thinks she knows these two 'father and son' very well.

"If the response of the dark energy described in the alert comes from elsewhere in the TPC Far East headquarters base, we will be the first to come to the rescue.

However, this happened in Casto's room, and, according to the description on the alarm, the density of dark energy was high, but it appeared for less than a second."

"If it were someone else, we might think it was a coincidence, but don't forget, who is Casto, he always says that he is an ordinary person, but you have also seen those friends in the universe he brought before, the most normal one, and now he is still a monk in the temple"

"Now, just when he needed an opportunity, he received information from the chief of the police Yoshioka, and it was a coincidence, and immediately after that, a dark energy appeared in his room."

"The only possibility is that Castor is going to do something big, to meet the moment he needs, and it's probably dangerous, and I'm not talking about being dangerous for him, but for humanity."

"Humph! Megumi Kuruma: You're right, but you're missing something. Keigo Masaki's voice came from the communicator, "Just a few days ago, the Victory Team had a battle with an enemy called Xenobiotic, and Castor seems to have a strange attitude towards that kind of monster, I promise, this monster has something to do with this incident. ”

In the communicator, Dagu suddenly exclaimed, and then immediately said, "I suddenly remembered that not long ago, Mr. Casor once asked me to go to the temple once, which is the temple where Mr. Mizoro Mujinya is. Mr. Mizoro is in some problems. ”

"You reminded me!" Keigo Masaki suddenly said, "Captain Meguma, remind the people of the police bureau to strengthen the surveillance of Mizoro Mujinya, no, I'll go directly to the office of the old man Sawai, I want to make sure if he knows about this matter."

"Wait a minute!?" Xincheng said in disbelief, "Aren't you exaggerating?" Mr. Castor isn't even missing, is he? His position is even vaguely receivable, and from the appearance of that energy to the reaction of everyone. Ten minutes of time? Most of it, right? ”

"What can you do in ten minutes?" Horii was also a little surprised, "It can't be that Mr. Casto has changed dramatically in ten minutes, right?" Ten minutes ago he was a normal person, ten minutes later. He's mutated? That's just unreasonable, isn't it? ”

"What are you doing in 10 minutes?!" Keigo Masaki's voice was tinged with a hint of anger as he walked in the direction of Director Sawai's office as he said loudly, "It didn't even take five minutes for the last time his crazy friends got together in ten minutes, and these people were even found by Torrecchia from different places."

Keigo Masaki has a lot to say about this matter, because among the crazy people Torrecchia is looking for. There was his presence Masaki Keigo, and not long after they appeared in front of Casto, they were in a fight on the outskirts.

As soon as Keigo Masaki's words fell, a crackling sound immediately sounded in the communication, obviously, the people of the victory team also began to act, Keigo Masaki ended the communication with a frown, and then immediately pushed Director Sawai's office open,

However, before he could speak, he saw Director Sawai shrug his shoulders, and then said helplessly, "Yoshioka and Nanyuan have already been here, and if you want to ask Castor what he plans to do, I can only say that I don't know either." ”

"The only thing I know is that Casto has told me before, including you, that all the top management of the TPC has urged him about the development of the solar system."

"Everyone urged him" The corners of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched, he wasn't quite sure, whether this sentence was a . Threat.
