Chapter 85: Accidents One After Another, the Illusion of Final Realization

Old Wu quickly explained when he heard Chen Ming's question: "I do know him."

"And then?"

"Nothing, I just know him."

"I met him when I was doing intelligence business. I know he is from Lude Zuojing. I know he has been making money by using Zuojing's name and occasionally providing some intelligence to Zuojing."

"I have no intersection with him in other aspects."

Chen Ming suddenly remembered the previous things and said: "I remember you didn't even look at the specific information about the pirate before and directly said that the pirate was related to Zuojing."

"Yes, I know that the pirate has a deep connection with him, but I really don't know about other things."

"When I knew him before, he was very afraid of death. There is no reason for him to personally do this kind of thing for Zuojing. I also want to know why he would do a terrorist attack when he was full."

Chen Ming stared at Old Wu's face for a few seconds and chose to believe him.

Because in this way, the problem that Chen Ming had been struggling with was indeed answered.

That is why the pirate leader hated this person the most, not him and the boss.

It was obvious that he gave the pirate leader the wrong information, causing him to attack the caravan that was delivering goods to the boss's colony.

Then he called for the boss's revenge, that is, to let Chen Ming go and bring him back.

The mustache had been in contact with Lao Wu, and Lao Wu had been working in the repair shop for several years.

That is to say, the mustache must have been working as an intelligence dealer for many years, and it is not right to make such a low-level mistake as getting the intelligence wrong.

This is a deliberate pitfall for the pirate leader.

Although the specific reason why the mustache did this is unknown, it is probably related to this terrorist attack.

It may be that he was worried that the pirate leader knew something he shouldn't know, so he caused a fatal disaster.

Of course, this is just Chen Ming's guess. The specific situation may have to be asked to the person involved, but the person is dead, so there is no point in asking these questions.

It's a pity that if Chen Ming hadn't rejected Lao Wu's proposal to meet the local intelligence dealer yesterday, he should have been able to meet him in advance.

Maybe Chen Ming could have shot him dead at that time and completed the illusion requirement of the Falsehood Stone.

But who could have thought of this...

Wait a minute.

Chen Ming was suddenly stunned. Isn't this the best opportunity to kill the mustache?

All the people present fell down because of the mental pulse. The terrorist only wanted to blow up the spaceship. The mustache also chose to hide in the crowd to hide himself.

As long as Chen Ming followed the position where the mustache just stood in his memory, it should not be difficult to kill him.

Chen Ming's hand reached to his waist and pressed on the pistol that he had modified a lot.

He slowly pulled the gun out of the holster and opened the safety.

Prepare to set off after the aftermath of the explosion subsided.

But something unexpected happened immediately.

At the same time as the bomb of the terrorist who was killed by the only guard who had not completely fallen down exploded.

Among the remaining three Lud Left Terrorists, there was another terrorist who was killed by his companion's explosion.

The Left Terrorist probably installed a heart rate monitor or something like that on his body, connected to the bomb.

If the person dies and the heart stops beating, the bomb will be detonated.

Therefore, the second explosion occurred.

This time the explosion occurred closer to Chen Ming, and the violent shock wave blew past the support column that Chen Ming was leaning on, and more debris and body fragments continued to hit Chen Ming behind him.

After the shock wave passed, Chen Ming carefully poked his head out and found that cracks began to appear on the support columns closest to the explosion.

The ceiling also looked shaky, and several nearby exhibition halls could collapse at any time.

At the same time, a worse situation occurred with the second explosion.

The power was cut off in the exhibition hall.

Although the first explosion shattered some of the lighting equipment inside the exhibition hall, not all of it. There were always some lighting equipment that survived and provided lighting for the exhibition hall.

But now, after the power outage, the exhibition hall was completely plunged into darkness.

I could only rely on the light of the newly rising stars outside to barely see the situation inside the exhibition hall.

Chen Ming adapted a little.

Suddenly noticed that the power outage was not only the lighting system, but also the cameras in every corner of the exhibition hall had stopped working.

And it was even earlier than the power outage, as if it had stopped working when the mind pulse appeared.

Even if the cameras in this public area use the same line as the ordinary lighting system, they should have power failure detection devices to be activated when necessary.

But now there is none. Chen Ming guessed that this should be caused by the people from Zuo Jing.

There should also be people from Zuo Jing inside the exhibition hall.

The surveillance of this scene will probably be deleted later. No wonder the man with the mustache dared to come to the scene in person to carry out the terrorist attack.

However, the monitoring situation seemed to be okay for Chen Ming.

At least if Zuo Jing deleted the video, he would also delete the record of Chen Ming that was completely unaffected by the mental pulse.

At the same time, it could also cover up what Chen Ming wanted to do next.

When the aftermath of the second explosion was about to end, Chen Ming slightly identified the direction inside the dim exhibition hall and prepared to leave.

However, accidents often follow one after another.

Another mental pulse suddenly broke out.

Although Chen Ming was also not affected, the guard who had just barely climbed up fell down completely.

And some other guards who had already shown signs of waking up also fell into a coma again.

Except for the few people from Lude Zuo Jing who were prepared in advance, plus Chen Ming and Lao Wu, there was no one who was still conscious at the scene.

Chen Ming's eyes immediately locked on the direction from which the mental pulse came.

Although the environment was relatively dim, he could see the situation there clearly.

The man with a mustache climbed up from the unconscious people around him, frowning and staring at the mechanical device in his hand that had begun to smoke.

This is the source of the mental pulse.

Moustache didn't want to use it a second time, but this time there was a person with outstanding willpower among ordinary people in the guards, and the quality of the others was also beyond his expectations.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, some things are better not to be saved.

He stuffed the smoking device into his pocket, and when he thought that everyone had fallen, he said to the remaining two terrorists who were still alive: "Get up, God is still waiting for you."

The two terrorists lying on the ground heard Moustache's words, and immediately climbed up as if they were stimulated by something.

Continue to rush towards the armor-piercing destroyer, the crystallization of human technology.

Only Moustache was left standing at a safe distance.

Chen Ming found an opportunity, half-crouched up, held the pistol and aimed at the position of Moustache, slowly moved his feet, and prepared to shoot after getting close to a safe distance.

But just as Chen Ming took a step forward, Old Wu suddenly grabbed him and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Kill him."

"Of course I can see that you want to kill him. Are you good enough with your gun?"

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment. He knew his gun skills very well. He could only shoot with his luck at a distance of ten meters.

But Chen Ming didn't want to give up because of this and said, "I want to give it a try."

Old Wu asked in confusion, "Is it necessary? Zuo Jing just wants to blow up the armor-piercing class. We don't need to take the risk to help others protect the spacecraft. He won't pay you."

Chen Ming's steps that had been taken out were retracted behind the load-bearing column. He said to Old Wu, "You should be able to guess the effect of my psychic power, right?"

"Probably controlling the spacecraft?"

"Yes, I can control all the spacecrafts, even if they are destroyed and only a frame is left."

"Kill them, and I can try to contact the armor-piercing ship. , and then control it. "

"Did you see the price of the Armor Breaker auction just now? 700 million, the reserve price."

Old Wu swallowed unconsciously. He knew very well what 700 million meant, but he still said: "It's useless if you can't get the money. This is in the capital of the star field. How can you drive the ship away?"

"I don't need to drive it away. As long as the ship is under my control, it will always be under my control."

"As long as this Armor Breaker really works one day... you should be able to guess what will happen then."

Old Wu doesn't need to guess what will happen then.

As long as the Armor Breaker is alone, or close to being alone, Chen Ming can directly let the Armor Breaker enter the hyperspace channel and forcibly escape control beyond everyone's expectations.

It's not so easy to find a ship that has entered the hyperspace channel. Just find a corner without a star and squat there. It may take a lifetime to find it.

Thinking of this, Old Wu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Psychics are really perverts."

Chen Ming ignored Old Wu's perverted adjective and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you. I have to hurry up, otherwise if he finds me or the support troops behind me come, I will have no chance."

Chen Ming crouched down and prepared to use the dim environment to get close to the mustache.

But Old Wu suddenly grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, I didn't say I won't help you."

Chen Ming snorted, hid behind the load-bearing column again, handed him the pistol and said, "Then you come."

Old Wu seemed to have some shining eyes and took Chen Ming's pistol, shook it, gestured to the air and said, "Retro design, you have good taste."

"But I can't use this kind of gun."

He said and threw the gun back and said, "And I have one myself."

Old Wu took out a pistol from his arms that was obviously more advanced than the one Chen Ming modified himself, with an instrument that looked very compact on it.

He tapped the instrument lightly and said, "Automatic locking system, if caught, you will be in jail for at least 20 years. It cost me a lot of money to get it."

"Leave it to me."

Old Wu leaned out half of his body from the side of the load-bearing column and aimed at several Lud left paths not far away.

However, just before the instrument on the pistol completely locked the target.

On one side of the exhibition hall, several smoke bombs were suddenly thrown in from the window that was shattered by the explosion.

Almost instantly, the thick smoke completely covered the interior of the exhibition hall.

Old Wu immediately shrank back and lay on the ground, exposing half of his head and staring at the direction where the smoke bombs were thrown in.

And in the smoke, you can vaguely see four fully armed guards entering the exhibition hall.

But except for them, no one else followed them in.

It should be that these guards happened to be patrolling nearby, and when they encountered an unexpected situation, they came to support with the fastest efficiency.

Chen Ming was a little relieved when he saw this, otherwise if a large force really came, he would not have the fate of this armor-piercing class.

The four guards came in and could not see Chen Ming and Lao Wu behind the load-bearing column. They could only see the only two people who were still moving in the entire exhibition hall.

Those two terrorists.

So the guards opened fire directly.

The bullets passed through the smoke and accurately hit the two terrorists who were very close to the armor-piercing level, killing them instantly.

The bombs on their bodies also exploded like the two terrorists before.

The violent explosion left striking scars on the armor-piercing level Baiyun steel armor placed next to it, and even several pieces of armor were completely shattered and fell off due to the explosion.

Although the range of the explosion did not seem large, the actual explosion effect was somewhat beyond Chen Ming's expectations.

I don't know what kind of explosives Zuo Jing and his men used.

In addition to the damage to the external armor, the support frame of the armor-piercing level was also directly blown off, tilted and fell on the ground with a loud noise.

The eyes of the guard team who had just killed the terrorists were subconsciously attracted by the explosion and the damaged armor-piercing level.

Ignoring the middle-aged man on the ground putting his hand into his pocket again.

And because the monitoring and power systems of the exhibition hall had long been controlled by Zuo Jing's people, the guard team did not get the information about how many terrorists there were before entering.

In addition, the middle-aged man found a person to lie down as before when he saw the smoke bomb fall to the ground, blocking the others in front of him.

The guard team did not notice him lying on the ground when they first came in.

All these factors combined gave the middle-aged man the opportunity to press the last activation number of the mind pulse device.

The third mind pulse swept across the exhibition hall in an instant.

Although the intensity of the mind pulse this time was much lower than the previous two times, it was still unbearable for ordinary people.

The four ordinary guards fell down in an instant, and the exhibition hall suddenly became quiet again.

Only the hissing sound of the smoke bomb emitting smoke remained.

Seeing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but whisper to Lao Wu beside him: "Is the government's response so slow? How long has it been, and only four people came to support?"

"It's not a slow response, look at this."

Lao Wu also whispered, and handed Chen Ming the terminal that he had opened at some unknown time.

It was the news release website of the Star Domain Government.

In addition to the news about the exhibition hall being attacked, there was another urgent news lined up in front of the exhibition hall.

There was also an explosion on the space elevator, which was quite close to the government building.

This was probably done by Zuo Jing.

"No wonder the support is so slow."

Chen Ming looked up at the middle-aged man in the distance and said, "I think I understand."

"Their initial target was not the armor-piercing ship. Otherwise, it would be better to wait until they were close enough to the armor-piercing ship before detonating the bomb or turning on the mind pulse."

"They turned on the mind pulse in advance to attract the government's attention and let the government's guards concentrate on the exhibition hall."

"At the same time, they made a feint to the east and attacked the west, preparing to attack the space elevator."

"If the spaceship exploded, the government would definitely only consider the space elevator, but if the spaceship did not explode, the government might still be a little entangled."

"As long as the time difference is slightly adjusted, so that the time when the support troops arrive here matches the time when they are doing things at the space elevator, the support troops will be too busy all of a sudden."

"But there seems to be a problem with their coordination. They acted almost at the same time."

"So the guards basically didn't come to the exhibition hall."

After all, the government can still make a decision immediately on the value of a spaceship and the value of a space elevator.

Chen Ming returned the terminal to Lao Wu and asked, "So we have been abandoned temporarily?"

"Not necessarily. There will definitely be support, but the quantity and when it will come are uncertain."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and said, "That means we have a chance to do something now. Now this person is either unconscious, dead, or can't come. It's not right to miss this opportunity."

He clenched the gun in his hand and said to Lao Wu seriously, "Lao Wu, help me, don't kill that person directly, I have something to do."

At the same time.

The middle-aged man also knew, like Chen Ming, that the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

He used the mind pulse three times in a row, and there were two times when someone didn't fall down after the mind pulse.

As a result, all four people he had arranged in advance died on the way.

And his mission was not completed at all.

Not only did he fail to attract the attention of the guards, he couldn't even blow up the spaceship.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the armor-piercing class that was tilted and lying on the ground in the distance, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Then, he suddenly seemed to think of something that scared him, and his face was occupied by fear.

He gritted his teeth and ran quickly towards the spaceship.

At the same time, he began to untie the bundle of explosives that was also tied to him.

The middle-aged man quickly came to the bow, to the position of the large load-bearing point that was slightly sunken into the hull.

This is the weakest and most important part of the spacecraft.

Destroying this place is equivalent to destroying the spacecraft itself.

The middle-aged man held a bundle of explosives in his hand and wanted to climb up along the outer edge of the armor-piercing class.

But just as he started to climb, he was suddenly kicked in the side ribs, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body.

The middle-aged man couldn't keep his balance all of a sudden, and the explosives in his hand slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

He subconsciously reached for the remote detonation button of the explosives in his other pocket.

But he was immediately kicked by another kick.

Although the force of this kick was not as painful as the kick in his side ribs just now, it kicked his knuckles very trickily, directly breaking his knuckles.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth desperately to endure the severe pain, and wanted to immediately lean on his intact hand to support the ground and stand up.

But before he could do so, he felt a chill on his forehead.

The middle-aged man's hair stood up, his whole body stiffened, and he slowly raised his head and looked at the man with a gun pointed at his forehead.

"Old Wu?"

Old Wu still had that smile on his face, but at this time there was no smile at all.

"Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this Shen Yi."

"No wonder you called three directly last night, you want to have a lot of fun before you die."

The middle-aged man Shen Yi didn't expect that it would be Old Wu who appeared here.

He said with a hint of pleading and a hint of threat in his tone: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, the explosives will explode, and you and I will die in this position."

"That's not necessarily true."

Chen Ming's voice sounded as he came to Old Wu.

Like Old Wu, he raised his pistol and pointed it at Shen Yi's forehead.

In addition to controlling the armor-piercing class, Chen Ming also took over the explosives that Shen Yi dropped and disposed of them.

The method of handling is also very simple.

Control the armor-piercing class, open the hatch of the armor-piercing class, throw the explosives in, and then choose to dismantle it. What is left is some materials that make up the explosives.

Old Wu said to Chen Ming with some surprise: "So fast, it's done?"

"As long as you touch it, it's done. It's a very simple thing."

"Okay."

Old Wu took back the pistol, leaving Chen Ming alone to confront Shen Yi, or to coerce him unilaterally.

He took out the terminal, clicked on it a few times and said; "I saw on the news that the blockade outside the exhibition hall has been set up. We are waiting for the space elevator to be completed and the large force to come to solve the problem here."

"We should not be able to get out, but at least we still have a lot of time."

"You decide how to deal with him."

"Don't kill me, my..."

Just as Shen Yi was about to speak, Lao Wu kicked him mercilessly again and said, "You want to have a complaint after doing this kind of thing, right?"

Chen Ming stopped Lao Wu slightly to prevent Lao Wu from kicking him to death. He still had questions to ask.

Chen Ming continued to point the gun at Shen Yi's forehead, his finger slightly pressed on the trigger and said: "Let me ask you, who gave you the mind pulse device?"

Shen Yi said as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "It was my superior! He asked me to activate the mind pulse device here in advance to attract the attention of the people on the other side."

"Who is your superior?"

"I don't know, they have always contacted me one-way, and the identity they contacted is also fake. I don't know who it is."

"It's all nonsense."

"No...no, ask something else, I know everything else, don't kill me, I can provide you with information."

Chen Ming ignored him, turned his head and looked at Lao Wu and said: "He is from Lude Zuojing, right?"

"Yes, being able to carry out such a mission should be considered an insider."

"If you kill him, you will become enemies with Lude Zuojing. This matter cannot be concealed. Mu Shuikong's name will definitely be recorded by Lude Zuojing on their list."

"Is that so."

Chen Ming turned his head back again, and suddenly reached out to help Shen Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

Shen Yi showed a look of fear and relief. He seemed to think that Chen Ming was afraid of Lude Zuojing's name.

But what Chen Ming wanted now was just to make Shen Yi's standing posture the same as the illusion he saw when he held the Liar Stone.

After helping him up, Chen Ming put the pistol against Shen Yi's forehead again and pulled the trigger in his frightened eyes.

"I'm not afraid of these now."
