Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1885 1886 Complete Failure

Sophia's scream pierced the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony, like a sharp lightning streaking through the night sky. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Don't come over here! No one is allowed to get close to me!" Her voice was trembling and almost breaking due to extreme nervousness.

The detonator in her hand, a small device that looked like an ordinary remote control, was trembling slightly in her sweaty palm, as if she would press it uncontrollably in the next second. Sophia's eyes quickly swept through the crowd around her, her eyes full of fear and madness, like a trapped beast that was forced into a desperate situation.

"Don't be impulsive, please calm down!" The female security inspector's voice remained calm, trying to calm Sophia's almost collapsed emotions. She took a small step forward cautiously, and raised her hands slightly to show that she had no ill intentions.

"You're not doing anybody any good by doing this! Put down your weapons and we can talk." She tried to persuade in a soothing tone, hoping to calm Sophia down.

Sophia laughed nervously, her laughter was sharp and piercing, creepy: "Talk? What is there to talk about?" Her eyes were full of despair and madness, as if she had given up everything.

"My request is very simple, let me go to the viewing stand! Now, immediately, right now! No one can stop me!" She screamed hysterically, and the muzzle of the gun in her hand swung back and forth in the crowd, full of threats.

A burly guard stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't go anywhere now." He gripped the baton tighter, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his eyes were fixed on Sophia, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

"Get out of the way!" Sophia pointed her gun at the guard who spoke, her eyes full of ferocity and determination: "Who said I can't go anywhere? I tell you, if I die, all the bombs will explode soon! None of you will know where they are! By then, the entire coronation ceremony will be blown up! The Tang Empire will become a laughing stock of the world! And my goal will be achieved!"

She spoke word by word, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of threats and madness. In fact, she was just bluffing, because she knew that she only planted one bomb in the venue.

The men under her command said that a bomb was placed inside the coronation platform, which could kill Tang Mo while he was being crowned... But Sophia certainly couldn't tell anyone this news. She could only say that there were bombs everywhere to put pressure on the guards around her.

"We have already notified the higher-ups." The female security inspector remained calm, even though she was also nervous and uneasy. "Calm down first. Someone with higher authority will come to talk to you about this matter soon. Please don't be impulsive."

Sophia took a deep breath, as if trying to control her violent emotions. Her chest rose and fell violently, as if it would explode at any time: "Okay,"

She paused, then suddenly raised her voice, her tone even sharper: "Then let that person come and talk to me! ... No! I changed my mind! Let Tang Mo come and talk to me! I want to see with my own eyes whether this damn man has the courage to stand in front of me!"

At this moment, a tall man in a black uniform with sharp eyes walked over quickly. He walked steadily and with the majesty of a superior, and quickly took over the command of the scene: "I am the commander of the Imperial Security Bureau, and I am in charge here now!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Sophia in the crowd and said in a cold tone without a trace of emotion: "If you have any requests, you can tell me directly."

Sophia looked directly into the commander's eyes and said word by word: "My request is very simple, let Tang Mo come to see me!"

"Impossible!" The commander refused without hesitation, his tone firm and decisive: "It is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to come to see you! You'd better give up on this idea!"

"Oh? How do you know he can't come?" Sophia asked provocatively, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Or, he doesn't dare?"

The commander sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "What qualifications do you have to see him?"

He asked back: "Just with the pistol in your hand and a few crazy words? Are you kidding! If anyone can hold a weapon and say a few words to see His Majesty, then His Majesty will not have to do anything else, right?"

"I have a bomb!" Sophia emphasized again, with a hint of madness in her tone, as if this was her last trump card.

"Really?" The commander's tone was still disdainful, as if he didn't believe her at all: "Then press it! I want to see how powerful your so-called bomb is."

"Do you really want to not know where something will suddenly explode?" Sophia's voice became sharp and piercing, almost a hysterical roar.

The commander shrugged and said casually, "I hope not." Then he said calmly, "But I don't think your bomb will explode."

The corners of Sophia's mouth twitched, and a strange smile slowly blossomed on her face, like a poppy flower quietly blooming in the night, beautiful but carrying deadly danger.

“Maybe,” she said softly, but with a hidden edge, as if she was talking to herself, or whispering to the commander: “Maybe you are right, maybe I am bluffing, maybe my bomb will not explode at all…”

She deliberately prolonged the ending of the sentence, with a cunning gleam in her eyes. "But..." She changed the subject and her tone suddenly became sharp: "Do you dare to bet? Do you dare to bet that your judgment is correct? Do you dare to bet that my bomb will not explode?"

She spoke word by word, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing the commander's heart.

The commander still looked nonchalant, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually: "Give it a try."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, and he did not take Sophia's threat seriously at all.

Sophia's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, and her voice was low and hoarse, like the calm before the storm: "You have a terrible mouth."

She stared into the commander's eyes and said word by word, "You are good at talking and pretending, but..."

At this point, she raised her voice again, her tone full of threat: "As long as I press this button!"

As she spoke, she raised the detonator in her hand: "The bomb will explode!"

She paused, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes, "Then, the winner will be me!"

In fact, she did make the right bet. If the Imperial Security Bureau really didn't care about the bomb that was placed somewhere, they would have ordered the shooting long ago. Unfortunately, many places were broadcasting live on TV, and the celebratory parades had already spread out on several streets. In this case, if many bombs really exploded, the coronation ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor would not have to be held.

Therefore, the Imperial Security Bureau dispatched personnel to check all suspicious locations nearby, while secretly bringing in prepared electromagnetic interference equipment to block nearby remote control signals.

This is the safest plan, so the commander of the Imperial Security Bureau now needs to delay time most.

After seeing Sophia gradually falling into a state of madness, he knew that if he continued to be strong, the other party might really do something crazy, so he immediately changed his strategy.

"In fact, we can talk about it!" He spread his hands and made a gesture that said I won't attack you. "What do you want? Tell me."

"I want Tang Mo to come see me!" Sophia repeated her request. She knew that she had no so-called way out, and now all she could do was to go all the way.

"The signal blocking equipment is in place! Interference can be launched at any time." The voice of his subordinates was heard through the headphones worn by the commander of the Imperial Security Bureau.

"Sniper team No. 1 is in position! The target has been locked! Ready to fire at any time!" Soon, the voice of the special operations team also sounded: "Sniper No. 2 is in position! Good vision! The target has been locked! Standby!"

"The car they were riding in has been checked, and there is no bomb inside! The driver has been controlled... no useful information has been obtained from the interrogation so far." Immediately afterwards, another group of people had almost completed the surrounding work.

"Sniper team No. 3 is in position! The target has been locked!" The last sniper team has also been deployed at a nearby commanding height. Through the scope, the sniper clearly saw Sophia in her red dress.

Putting his hands behind his back and making a tactical gesture, the commander of the Imperial Security Bureau then heard the noise caused by electromagnetic interference coming from his headphones.

Communications had been interrupted. To ensure that the other party's remote control would not send out a detonation signal, all bands, including their communication band, would be covered by full-band interference. At the moment of confirming the gesture to fire, snipers in three directions pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

Sophia saw a ball of blood blooming from the palm of her hand holding the pistol, and then she felt her arm holding the detonator being hit by something. She lost her balance and for a moment it seemed that the whole world was spinning.

The whole process happened in an instant. She subconsciously moved her fingers to press the detonator switch, but she did not see the dazzling flames bursting out in the distance, nor did she hear the deafening explosion afterwards.

It was not until her bloody arm was pressed to the ground by the guards who rushed over and she felt a piercing pain from the wound that she finally realized... she had failed.

A complete failure.
