ScrewGum nodded in agreement.

And slowly revealed the detailed information of the guy in the video.

"'Duke of Hellfire' Afrit."

"Born on the extinct planet 'Tophet', they are a special kind of life called 'Fire Demons'."

"The Fire Demons, who are always burning, regard the Star God of Destruction Nanook as their emperor and call him their benefactor, but they have never received a single glance from him."

Through the description of Screw Gumu, the audience on Blue Star also got to know the identity of this "Grand Duke of Underworld Fire".

[So he is Jinmiehuozu's bootlicker. Tsk tsk, I've already said that bootlickers will end up with nothing. How come some people still don't believe it (pointing) (clown)]

[Even the "Vanguard" envoy that Nanook values ​​couldn't withstand Jing Yuan's sword, where does he get the confidence from as a clown? (Laughing and crying)]

[Didn't you hear what Professor Latio said? The thoughts and behaviors of madmen are different from those of normal people (dog head)]

[Compared to the Hellfire Clown, I am more curious about who the Sea Patrol Ranger "sent" by Jing Yuan is. I wonder if I can get a glimpse of his true appearance? ]

ScrewGum continued his narration: "The Fire Demons are violent by nature. Burning and destroying are their instincts."

"And this Afrit...is particularly evil and cruel."

"The 'Eternal Fire Mansion' he leads is even a mortal enemy of the 'Yepela Brotherhood', which is also a gang of extinction."

"Yepela Brotherhood?" A hint of thought flashed through Estelle's eyes. "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere..."

ScrewGum releases a holographic projection.

He then reminded her, "Miss Esta, you should have seen the wanted poster for the Star Core Hunters. They were accused of being involved in the 'Yepera Rebellion'. It is said that the Star Core Hunters were responsible for the destruction of the Brotherhood."

"The Yepela Palace collapsed in flames, and afterwards, Afrit's power grew stronger and stronger. Mr. Screwgum won't believe that this is just a coincidence, right?" Latio looked at Screwgum.

ScrewGum remained noncommittal.

I sensed an inexplicable tension between the two of them.

Jing Yuan decisively changed the subject: "The same thing is about to happen on the space station. As a fire demon, Afrit is naturally good at tricks like 'spontaneous human combustion'. The disappearance of the black tower puppet and the space station staff is just part of the other party's plan."

"What does Mr. Jingyuan mean?" Estelle frowned.

Latio's eyes moved slightly. "If nothing unexpected happens, this video will spread quickly in the space station. It won't be long before this space station will be turned into a sea of ​​fire like the Yepera Palace."

ScrewGum continued: "Use the staff's 'fanaticism' for Mr. Jingyuan to destroy their 'trust' in the management?"

"I'm afraid the other party wants to destroy more than just 'trust'." Latio said lightly.

Jing Yuan clapped his hands and praised: "As expected of Professor Latio."

He then asked, "The professor came here not only to record the previous 'experiment', but also for this matter, right?"

"In that case, how about accompanying me?"

Jing Yuan told him the purpose of this trip.

Latio remained calm: "General, aren't you most afraid of trouble?"

Asta also spoke up in time: "Mr. Jingyuan, the space station has already troubled you a lot, this time..."

Don't wait for her to finish speaking.

Jing Yuan interrupted, “I am indeed afraid of trouble, but if a friend is in trouble, I am willing to help.”

Latio's expression changed slightly.

Estelle was even more touched.

She really didn't want to continue to trouble Jing Yuan.

However, as a member of the management and the acting stationmaster of the space station, it is not convenient for him to show up in person.

If we rush around to investigate, it would be like having the words "something happened in the space station" written on our faces, and the staff would only become more panicked, accelerating the crisis of trust.

"Then Mr. Screw-Gum and I will stay here and try our best to control the spread of the news," Estelle said solemnly, "I'll leave the investigation to the General and Professor Latio!"

See her like this.

The audience in Longguo quickly gave a reminder from a distance.

[Oh no, the rich sister got fooled again! (covering eyes)]

[Helping a friend in trouble? Wait, I want to ask what Sambo thinks? ]

[Jing Yuan deliberately created an opportunity to be alone with Professor Ladior, right? He already knew that the Annihilation Gang was the mastermind behind this, so how could he not have a plan to deal with it? (Thinking)]

Fortunately, Esta in the forbidden area could not see these comments.

Otherwise, the image that Jing Yuan had established in her mind would be ruined...

Leave the meeting room with Jingyuan.

Latio took the initiative to ask: "Where will you start your investigation, General?"

"Haha, there's no need to rush the investigation," Jing Yuan smiled and changed the subject, "Before this, Professor Latio hasn't responded to my previous invitation."

He stopped.

Ask again the question you just asked in the conference room.

"I wonder if the professor would be willing to attend the banquet with me?"

【I knew it! 】

[Ding! Jingyuan invites you to go to the toilet together. Do you accept? (Funny)]

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed out loud.

Latio raised his eyebrows and said, "The matter concerning Pinocchio is a problem that the Strategic Investment Department needs to worry about. What does it have to do with me? How do you know that I will definitely go?"

"In my opinion, the 'trust crisis' in the space station, like the 'experiment', is just a piece of cake for Professor Latio." Jing Yuan still smiled.

He added: "In my hometown, when the 'chief' goes to war, he is often accompanied by a 'military advisor'."

"The company values ​​Pinocchio very much. How can it not send a 'military advisor' to serve as the 'chief'?"

Latio frowned.

Then he said with relief: "That's right, I should have thought that the General, with that kind of power, would be interested in Pinocchio... or the 'watchmaker's legacy'."

Jing Yuan did not comment.

Latio added: "But with the general's strategy and strength, I don't think he needs any help from me, right?"

"Compared to the title of 'Professor Latio', I prefer to be called 'Doctor of Truth'. Treating the stubborn disease called 'stupidity' is my job."

"Obviously, your Excellency the General has nothing to do with 'stupidity'."

Jing Yuan's smile became more obvious: "I am indeed not the professor's treatment target, but the people around me are."

"The Star Train has already received an invitation from the family. Can the professor bear to watch those three children continue to be so 'stupid'?"

Latio was visibly stunned.

Then he closed his eyes and said, "General, I have to correct your words. Those three are not called 'stupid', but 'idiots'."

Jing Yuan shrugged: "Stupid or idiotic, they are still young. There is plenty of time to cure them, right?"

"'Idiot' is born that way." Latio said calmly.

"I don't think so," Jing Yuan still didn't give up, "Well, since you are going to Pinocchio anyway, why don't you go with me? We can also verify the question of 'are idiots born' on the way."

"After all...experiments are the only criterion for testing truth."

Chapter 435: Not bad, full marks!

"'Practice is the only criterion for testing truth'?" Latio nodded slowly, "That makes sense."

However, he changed the subject: "But are you so sure, General, that I will go to Pinocchio?"

Jing Yuan used the same old trick again.

He brought up Gold Sand again and said, "Of course. That friend called Gold Sand said that the company has already finalized the list, which includes Professor Latio."

Latio was speechless for a moment.

I secretly cursed this damn Tsygann slave.

In order to curry favor with Jing Yuan, did you tell him everything?

Perhaps it was dissatisfaction with the gold dust.

Or maybe Jing Yuan was really to his liking.

Latio hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Since the general insists on inviting me, it would be rude of me to refuse."

"Haha, I'll send a message to Pam and ask him to prepare a clean guest room for you!" Jing Yuan immediately took out the long-range remote sensing device.

Latio stopped him and reminded him: "Let's deal with the trouble in the space station first..."

"I believe the general has already got a lot of clues," he said, changing the subject, "why not tell us about it?"

Do not know why.

Latio always felt that Jingyuan was too enthusiastic.

The enthusiasm was so great that he felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship by mistake.

The current situation of the space station is not optimistic, but Jing Yuan is not in a hurry to investigate the clues. Instead, he is determined to "trick" him into getting on board first.

Apart from the existing countermeasures, Latio could not think of any other explanation except that it could help the space station escape danger.

Jing Yuan chuckled: "It's still that 'breaking news'."

"To be precise, it was the source of the 'news flash', that anonymous chat group," he added.

Latio was thoughtful.

Just now in the conference room, Jing Yuan played the video and did not hide the fact of the anonymous chat group.

Everyone present knew about the existence of such a group chat.

Jing Yuan spoke again: "Before this, many members of the group have made radical remarks expressing dissatisfaction with the management."

"And 'coincidentally', these people are among the missing officers. This should be considered the 'common point' of the missing persons, right?"

"So this is a trap set up in advance by the other party, with the purpose of provoking civil unrest in the space station?" Latio quickly understood what he meant.

He said to himself: "The sudden series of disappearances is undoubtedly the best breeding ground for chaos."

"When the seeds of 'unrest' take root and sprout, they will publicly announce the attack and take responsibility for the 'Black Tower attack', thereby bringing the crisis that has been brewing in secret to the forefront, causing it to grow and bear fruit..."

Jing Yuan nodded in agreement.

[So that's how it is. I gradually understood everything! (Dementia)]

[So, that "Underworld Lord" is still a lunatic with brains? ]

[Haha! I finally understand why Jingyuan wanted to bring the professor along. If it was Maomei or Sanyueqi, they would definitely be confused (laughing and crying)]

Through Latio's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly understood.

I also have a deeper understanding of the "Duke of Hellfire" and the Annihilation Gang.

Latio asked again: "The plan of Duke Hellfire is clear, but what about the other party's methods?"

"General, do you know how he made the space station staff disappear out of thin air?"

Jing Yuan did not answer directly.

Instead, he mentioned another thing: "In order to find inspiration, Genius Club #81, Ms. Ruan Mei, once asked the Black Tower to borrow a rare item called 'Phase Spirit Fire'."

"That strange object has the ability of 'phase shift'."

"But unfortunately, before Ruan Mei's research was completed, it disappeared."

"As a member of the Fire Demon Clan, Grand Duke Afrit of Hellfire should also possess abilities similar to 'Phase Spirit Fire'. Even if he can't achieve 'Phase Shift', he can probably achieve simple 'Space Transfer'."

Latio continued, "So the officers didn't disappear, but were 'transferred'?"

This was beyond the expectations of the Blue Star audience and Latio.

Jing Yuan pretended to be helpless: "You already knew this, why do you need to confirm it with me again?"

"Oh?" Latio remained calm.

Jing Yuan slowly spoke, "If I were Afrito, I would definitely not just say harsh words in the video in order to create greater panic and accelerate the formation of civil unrest."
