The Witch's Taste

Chapter 389 Divine Punishment Fleet
The security camera is broken.

This result is both unexpected and expected, because the camera itself is maintained by the engineering department, and engineers like to have a camera filming themselves all the time when they are working, including but not limited to themselves. Lazy, sleeping, playing on your phone, or watching something else on the computer?

Of course not.

Active destruction is impossible.But if the camera breaks naturally, everyone can just go along and pretend not to know.

Since you don’t know, you don’t have to practice it, so it has been bad until now.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was very angry, but she had to admit that if a traitor was among the engineers, it would be impossible to prevent the camera from filming, so the camera was definitely broken - even if it wasn't originally broken, the other party could break it.

But do you think that without the video evidence, there is nothing I can do against you?

The shadows began to spread around. Tsukimiya Suzuna looked at the clueless engineers and showed a kind smile.

Half an hour later, the engineers all fell to the ground.The shadows of memories that have been roughly searched are slowly seeping out from their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears.

The vast majority of people simply passed out. Some individuals may have problems with increased spiritual vision, but the problem is not serious.

There was only one person: her body lay in a pool of blood, and her brains were slowly flowing out from the pierced temple.

The traitor was a military engineer from the Aegelaos Sector. She applied to immigrate to the starship human race during the Japanese encephalitis epidemic. The political review process did not reveal any problems because her information was too ordinary.

There was no complicated family relationship. She was born into a human family in the Federation and was the only daughter in the family. She completed primary school, junior high school, high school and college step by step, and then worked in a military factory owned by Bakht... None of her resume had anything to do with the empire.

However, after Tsukimiya Suzuna's rough memory exploration, she discovered something was wrong.

This traitor is actually a clone.

Although the Federation is technologically more advanced than the Empire, it prohibits cloning research due to religious ethics. The Empire has gone further on this dangerous path, even giving birth to the infamous Seven Factories - all of which are mass production. and trained clone assassins.

The seven major factories have different responsibilities. Among them, the assassins of factories one and two are responsible for infiltrating the federation, factories three are responsible for lurking in the edge star areas, factories four, five, and six are responsible for intelligence work within the empire, while factories seven are responsible for the royal family. Directly subordinate, dedicated to doing things that no one knows what they are.

The traitor was from Factory No. [-]. After being cloned, he was instilled with a large amount of memories and designed two personalities.The secondary personality remains so similar to the person she is replacing that even her parents and friends cannot tell the difference.

The dominant personality usually lies dormant until a superior contacts her and wakes her up.With the awakening of the main personality, the secondary personality was immediately suppressed and fell asleep, so a federal military engineer immediately turned into an imperial spy.

Tsukimiya Suzuna had a headache.Because in the spy's memory, she has not come into contact with any colleagues, only her superiors.She didn't even know her superior's official social identity, but her superior knew her identity, job, occupation, and even the specific cabin she lived in...

In other words, there is an Imperial spy network on the Forever.

Even though Suzuna Tsukimiya had caught a spy and explored and absorbed her memory, she only got a clue of "the appearance and voice of her superior".

The other party was a middle-aged man with a haggard look, and his voice was ordinary and unrecognizable. He ordered her to interfere with the operation of the main engine.

Not destruction, but interference.So she wrote a simple virus program and inserted it into the external interface of the server, allowing the virus to regularly disrupt the operation of the restraint field... From this, it can be inferred that the empire does not want to put the starship humans to death immediately, but just wants to To slow down their actions, at least don't let them jump right away.

Just relying on appearance and voice is not enough to find the specific identity of the other party on the Forever, not to mention that the appearance and voice can be easily disguised.

Tsukimiya Suzuna stood in silence for a moment, and quickly contacted Tenjoin and Hana, asking her to arrange for someone to come and take care of these engineers who were confirmed to be innocent, and they must return to work as soon as possible.

Although she didn't know the empire's intentions, and there was no way to find and uproot the opponent immediately, Tsukimiya Suzuna understood the simplest truth:

No matter what you want to do, I just do the opposite.

--------

9 o'clock that night was the time agreed upon by everyone in advance.The three witches returned to the bridge lounge, and Chen Ziang also came out of the Mandala Sword.

After Tsukimiya Suzuna briefly explained what happened today, she looked at Xia Qingyu coldly and asked:

"What else do you have to say?"

"There's nothing to say." Xia Qingyu replied calmly, "The appearance and voice of the middle-aged man you searched from your memory must be fake. Because the entire empire's intelligence network is top-down and strictly one-way. It is impossible for you to trace back from the subordinates to the superiors."

"So there is nothing we can do?" Tsukimiya Suzuna showed a mocking expression of "I knew you would say that."

"That's not the case." Xia Qingyu shot back with a contemptuous look that said, "You know nothing?" "Even if you are trying to lure a snake out of its hole, you still have to know the snake's intentions, right?"

"Sister, what do you mean..." Xia Zili's face was also ugly, "The empire people hope that we will be held back by the federal fleet, or even die here?"

"All the major chaebols in the federation have evil intentions. How can the empire be a monolith internally?" Xia Qingyu shook her head and continued, "It doesn't actually matter whether they can represent the empire. If you think about it again, their What exactly was the intention.”

"I...I kind of understand." Xia Zili was silent for a moment, looked at Chen Zi'ang and said, "In the previous attack, they attacked you directly, but it failed - referring to the memory of the past life, we first think that their fundamental goal is kill you."

"One miss and you leave the real world. They can't find you, so they have to try to force you back to the real world first."

"In other words, if the Forever is unable to jump for the time being and is besieged by the federal fleet supporting follow-up, it means that the starship humans will not be able to escape."

"In this case, we will definitely choose to abandon the starship humans and escape from the Forever with you - in this way, they will have the opportunity to attack you."

"In this case, I shouldn't come out." Chen Ziang quickly thought of a corresponding method, "Now that the energy has been collected, the Forever can immediately start to jump and leave the federal territory."

"I will continue to stay in the Mandala Sword and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it. You are responsible for guarding the starship. If there are spies who make trouble, just kill them directly."

"I have no objection." Tsukimiya Suzuna said slowly, "I just have a question."

"We can deduce these conclusions after the fact, so will the empire anticipate this in advance and arrange corresponding countermeasures? They don't think that disrupting the constraint field of the main engine will drag us down. Here?"

Xia Zili's expression changed slightly and she immediately said:

"Hurry up and arrange the jump!"

Everyone quickly split up.Xia Zili, who is good at flesh and blood spells, went to the infirmary to wake up the engineering team and asked them to arrange the jump as soon as possible.

Suzuna Tsukimiya turned into a sea of ​​shadows and quickly traveled through the tubes of the Eternal, monitoring and listening for any suspicious things nearby.

Only Xia Qingyu silently returned to her room. No one knew what she was doing in there.

About half a day later, bad news quickly came from the engine room.

Unable to jump.

It was not that there was a problem with the main engine, but that the third wave of federal fleets had arrived.

This fleet is not only large in scale, but many of the ships have huge religious symbols spray-painted on their armored shells.

The Holy See's Divine Punishment Fleet.

　Another day, tomorrow will be updated as usual until the end
