Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

This has become a trend in the Yinlian family, making people wonder whether every head of the Yinlian family has some habits.

During this period, people who were used to reading war reports and cosmic events were able to relax and focus on their favorite gossip.

For those who like to have fun, there is nothing more interesting than the gossip about one of the controllers of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. Although the entire universe is in chaos, it is a rare feast for those who like to have fun.

Under Morgan VII's powerful impact, the discussion about the summit and Duan Mingyuan quickly cooled down.

This is mainly because although the title of "Cosmic-level terrorists" is eye-catching, there is not much to discuss for ordinary people. Even those who are keen on keyboard politics mostly make a fuss about the proposition of the United Front and the Universal Company. Instead of exploring Duan Mingyuan's private life, they are more willing to discuss the impact of the just-concluded Sixteen-Star Summit on the future of the universe.

The public statement made by the commander of the Eastern Front Fleet made the situation of the Yinlian Family even worse.

In a recent interview with the media, Mockingbird publicly acknowledged the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and space pirates, and also hinted that the Oasis organization on the planet Mechanical was supported by the Chamber of Commerce.

So, some masters of online reasoning came to the conclusion.

Since the accusations against Morgan VII on the planet Jiqi in the report are true, then the stories that have to be told between Morgan VII and the butler may also be true.

That evening, a large number of secondary creations based on Morgan VII and the Butler appeared on major forums, including short stories, comics, and videos.

"I didn't expect that there was such a secret between Morgan VII and the butler!"

Duan Mingyuan sighed after reading the newspaper.

He guessed that Morgan VII must be very sad now. Although the sinking of the Laurel had nothing to do with him and the news published a few days ago were all fake news, the news of the butler's death was confirmed by the company's rescue team.

Professionals believe that judging from the wreckage at the scene, the Laurel was more likely to have been caught up in some unknown cosmic phenomenon, so that the people on the ship were completely destroyed before they could launch a counterattack.

However, Duan Mingyuan admired the courage of the author who published "The Story Between Morgan VII and His Butler". Although it had been anonymized, with the hacking technology mastered by the Chamber of Commerce, it did not seem difficult to pull the anonymous person out from the Internet.

"It's probably just a rumor."

The third prince made sharp comments on the recent hot topic on the Internet. This article is undoubtedly the most typical speculative rumor. Judging from the author's writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the audience's interests, he is undoubtedly a professional in the industry.

He is adept at heating up topics and creating some popular memes that people love to hear and hear.

Although it was a rumor, the third prince supported the anonymous journalist's approach.

The Shanqi Chamber of Commerce has been spreading rumors about Duan Mingyuan and Blue Star. With their hype, Blue Star has almost become a breeding ground for terrorists. His reports on those news also fell on deaf ears and received no response.

Morgan VII should be made to feel the pain of being slandered.

“No one watches our interview!”

Jiu Yue flipped through her phone and said dissatisfiedly.

Owl also published an exclusive interview with the Blue Star delegation in the Peace Dove Daily, but it received almost no views and few comments. The most popular comment only had 20 likes, and the content was "Look at the fox demon."

It was obvious that people were not interested in them and Blue Star, and they were focusing all their attention on Morgan VII.

"It's best if no one pays attention to us at this juncture."

The third prince said.

The merger of the Chamber of Commerce and the company has caused a lot of controversy, and the Internet has long since turned into a battle of positions. There is no neutral area at all, and accusations, curses and insults are everywhere. Anyone who accidentally passes by the "battlefield" will be accused of a bunch of accusations.

Even the forum where he usually lurks to collect resources has started to quarrel, which is enough to show that this war of public opinion has entered a white-hot stage.

What’s even more infuriating is that his secondary account was blocked.

The reason was that he complained in the forum that the atmosphere was extremely bad recently and everyone was just arguing, and few people were seriously sharing serious resources.

The reasons for the ban were spamming and inciting conflict, as well as the "begging party".

"What about the rumormonger? Isn't he afraid of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Duan Mingyuan knew the Chamber of Commerce's methods. Before the Sixteen-Star Summit, several directors had just expressed their opposition to the merger bill in public, and then they suffered a spacecraft crash. Now rumors are being spread about the head of the Yinlian family. Can Morgan VII tolerate this?

"It's clear that he's not fighting alone. The faction within the company that opposes the merger is about to start fighting back."

The Sixteen-Star Summit that just ended kicked off the war, or rather, sounded the clarion call for counterattack.

The smoke of gunpowder never only exists on the front battlefield. In this era, the importance of the battlefield of public opinion is self-evident. Before the release of the story of "Morgan VII and What the Butler Has to Say", the company was defeated in the public opinion front. This report is like a timely rain for them, and they naturally cannot miss the opportunity.

Demonizing the enemy's leaders is one of the most common tactics.

"The reason we can see this report is that public opinion is at war now. Otherwise, no one would have seen this report, and the publisher mysteriously disappeared on the night of the publication."

The third prince was not in a relaxed mood.

Because no matter what, peace is getting further and further away from them, and no one knows how this war will end.

As a bystander, he could only hope that a full-scale war would not break out.

The weapons stockpiled by companies and chambers of commerce are enough to turn several star regions into uninhabited areas.

In addition to them, there is another force hiding in the dark and watching closely.

Eisenberg-Adler.

The third prince silently recited the name as he looked at the sea of ​​stars outside the cabin. In the darkness, a planet was getting closer and closer to them.

A pitch-black planet, without a trace of light, as if it were dead.

Chapter 302 Conviction

The first time the Third Prince heard about the Prison Star was when he was twelve years old.

There are often some books brought by foreign merchants in the library. That is also his main way to understand the universe. Most civilizations are similar to the Blue Planet, but in the depths of this vast universe, there are also some deformed planets.

One is the dead star that became a cocoon after transformation, and the other is the planet that was later transformed, such as the Prison Star.

Most of these planets are used for heavy industrial production by companies and chambers of commerce, but the Prison Planet is special. The company has turned the entire planet into the most strict prison in the universe to detain those villains who are worthy of being recorded in history.

According to the Chamber of Commerce's recent statement, they believe that Duan Mingyuan should also be sent to the Prison Star for trial.

Even if the prisoners imprisoned on the Prison Planet can successfully escape and return to the surface world through layers of prisons, what awaits them above will only be a desolate planet.

Since the establishment of Prison Star, there have been thousands of prison riots of varying sizes, but no prisoner has ever successfully escaped from Prison Star.

Now, they are heading to the Prison Star under the pretext of escorting prisoners.

However, this is not their real purpose.

They wanted to take Eisenberg-Adler out of this planet where no one had ever successfully escaped from prison, or simply let him die forever in the cell.

How to treat this "destined person" is a difficult decision.

But before that, they still have to do some preparation.

Thinking of this, the Third Prince called everyone together and asked, "Among you, does anyone here think that they are a good person who can stand the test?"

Everyone raised their hands, even Coyote Twelve.

"This question is extremely important. Please think carefully about it." The Third Prince frowned. "I mean, if you weigh every good and bad thing you have done so far, how many of you can still get a positive value after offsetting each other?"

"That……"

Tang Qianqian raised her hand weakly, "Dozing off in class, slacking off during work, are these bad things?"

"Of course, but this question is mainly for Jiuyue and Coyote Twelve. According to the plan, when we arrive at the Prison Star, except for them and Teacher Mingyuan, everyone else will stay on the Fortress and wait."

"Ah, us?"

September and Coyote Twelve looked at each other, and their answers became a little uncertain. "It should, it should be considered."

"Remember, killing is a great sin, and it is not easy to atone for this sin."

As far as the Third Prince knew, both September and Coyote Twelve had committed many "sins".

He explained, "I am not torturing you. Once you enter the prison of Prison Star, everyone will be subject to a unified trial regardless of their purpose. Once convicted, even if they are not a criminal, they will be forced to go to prison."

These are the knowledge that the third prince read in books when he was a child.

In order to achieve absolute fairness and justice, the work of trying criminals and sentencing prisoners is done by a sophisticated artificial intelligence, which will make the final assessment after weighing the good and evil deeds done by each person.

If a negative result is obtained, the person will be forced to stay in prison until the end of his sentence.

It is said that there is no death penalty in the prison, and many people have been sentenced to more than four hundred years in prison.

But this is not a good thing for the criminals on the Prison Planet. The more serious the crime they committed, the worse the environment in which they are imprisoned. Especially for those serious offenders, serving their sentence makes their life worse than death, but they cannot even end their own lives.

The prison's life support devices will revive them, and no matter how many times they attempt suicide, they will eventually wake up in their cells, where eternal torture will still await them.

This is a plan proposed independently by artificial intelligence. It believes that death is too light for those extremely evil people and cannot serve as a good warning. It hopes to let all criminals know that death is not the most severe punishment in this world. Many times, the place where one is alive is purgatory.

The artificial intelligence also records what happens inside the prison, including those criminals who suffer mental breakdowns.

No matter how arrogant they were before entering prison, they all went crazy without exception after serving a period of time.

The staff of Prison Star will publish these videos on the prison’s official website so that everyone can see the consequences of doing evil.

It was obvious that the space pirates imprisoned on the Fortress knew nothing about what happened on the Prison Planet, otherwise they would never feel grateful for having saved their lives.

The biggest problem now is that according to the Third Prince's assessment, September and Coyote Twelve's assessments are very likely to be negative, and they will be negative values ​​at the level of repeat offenders, which means that both of them will have to stay on the Fortress, leaving Duan Mingyuan to fight alone.

They knew nothing about the real situation inside the prison. In order to prevent jailbreak, all outsiders would cut off all communication equipment after entering the prison. At that time, Duan Mingyuan would be isolated and helpless.

"We won't be able to provide you with intelligence support by then."

"It doesn't matter."

Duan Mingyuan understood the Third Prince's concerns and said, "I can do it alone."

Jiu Yue and Coyote Twelve's faces froze. They instinctively wanted to say something, but realized that if they forced themselves to go to the prison, they would become a burden.

After all, according to their current plan, causing a prison riot was not the result they wanted before meeting Eisenberg-Adler and confirming what kind of person he was.

The vast majority of prisoners on this planet deserve their punishments, and it would be a grave sin to release them from prison.

According to the navigation mark, there are still 3 hours and 42 minutes to reach Prison Planet. They can already see the outline of Prison Planet, which is still pitch black, as if no one lives there.

"We have less than four hours to come up with a reason."

The third prince also became nervous.

After all, the nature of their trip is fundamentally different from going to the Sixteen Star Summit for a meeting. It is to help a criminal escape from prison, or to kill someone who is already serving his sentence in prison.

Neither of these two is legitimate.

According to the procedure of escorting prisoners, they should return immediately after sending the space pirates to prison. Therefore, in order to go deep into the lower level of the prison to find out the whereabouts of Eisenberg-Adler, they must come up with a reason.

A sufficient reason that can convince prison guards and even artificial intelligence.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 303 Trial

There has never been a starport on the Prison Star, or perhaps this planet is so empty that anywhere can be a starport. Flagships escorting prisoners usually don't want to stay in this remote place for too long. They just send the prisoners in and leave, not wanting to be contaminated by the scent of sin here.

The Third Prince originally thought that this was a lyrical description in a magazine, but when the ship landed on the surface of the Prison Star, an inexplicable feeling of oppression enveloped all of them, as if urging them to leave quickly.

Coyotes December and September are the two most affected.

Less than a hundred meters away from the anchorage stood a lighthouse, the only building visible on the surface and the entrance to the prison. A voice deep in their hearts kept warning them not to get close.

“Echoes of Judgment.”

The third prince found clues on the official website of the Prison Star. The warden said that everyone who arrived at the Prison Star would face the sins in their hearts, whether they were willing or not.

The deeper the sin in one's heart, the more obvious the impact will be.

Reactions like those of Coyote Twelve and September are doomed to fail the evaluation.

"Teacher Mingyuan, how do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything."

Only Duan Mingyuan was normal. He packed his things and prepared his luggage considering that he might need to spend the night in prison. Jiu Yue also thoughtfully prepared several packs of vacuum-packed stir-fried dishes for him.

The official website of Prison Star has set up some columns for prisoners to leave messages, but only those model prisoners with outstanding performance can use this platform to leave messages or make some requests to the prison managers. Among them, the most reported is the food problem in the prison.

The prisoners unanimously agreed that the first thing to be improved was the food in the prison.

“It tastes like shit.”

About several hundred prisoners made such comments, but this feedback channel seemed to be just a decoration. Hundreds of years had passed since the first prisoner raised the question, and four wardens had been replaced during this period, but the food problem had never been improved.

Jiu Yue was very sensitive about food quality, so she naturally would not allow Duan Mingyuan to suffer in prison and eat something "like shit".

Although she was puzzled as to why the prisoners on Prison Planet knew the smell of shit so well.

This is not only for Duan Mingyuan's consideration, but also for their long-term relationship.
