NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"The central government told me that Anderson sent you to the MMR affiliated college as an instructor. You should have known about this."

"Ah."

“It just so happens that there is a big exhibition match at the end of this month. I will find a way to invite these five old guys to watch.

Do you... have any way to solve the problem in one go... um... all at once?"

Phoenix: “?”

D: “?”

I have to say, it’s Shuen who can make such a request that is no different from a terrorist attack.

Even Xiao Gui herself felt that her request was indeed a bit rebellious after she finished speaking, and her expression was unexpectedly a little embarrassed.

However, after the embarrassment, there was the expected anger and humiliation.

"Tsk... why are you looking at me like that? I can just pay more!

How much do you plan to take?!

Do you want the original shares of Missilis? Or do you want a few more Nikkis? Customized ones are also OK. Just make your request and I will design it for you personally. How about it? ! ! "

Phoenix: “…”

D: “…”

Is this a question of adding more code?

Someone with a twitching eye turned his head to look at the captain of the danger seat behind the sofa.

The executioner of the court looked on coldly, unwilling to be outdone.

She is a killer, an assassin, and a spy, not a terrorist with a bomb strapped to her body, and it is impossible for the five board members to go out without any bodyguards.

What's more, this is an exhibition match of the MMR affiliated college. There will definitely be more than just the five directors watching the performance. There will be at least forty or fifty dignitaries coming to join in the fun.

For a gathering of this size, the military would definitely be involved in the security, and bringing in explosives would be a pipe dream.

Only point-to-point assassinations have subtle operability and success rate.

"What if I have to participate in this exhibition match?"

Phoenix was very tactful. Discussing the possibility of assassination with Schoen, who was in a state of high self-esteem, was like talking to a cow.

"And I don't quite understand the system of the MMR affiliated academy. What exactly does the exhibition match mean? Is it to let the Nikkis have a mock battle?"

"Hey, I'm sincerely advising you that you should really follow me and broaden your horizons." Shu En snorted twice in disdain.

"How can it be a simulated battle? Of course we are going to fight Letcher on the ground.

Do you know how much computing power is spent per minute on a large-scale simulated battle? There is no way the board of directors of Missilis would do such a thing for a few pieces of scrap metal.

Moreover,

There won't be any real casualties in a simulated battle, so who wants to watch it?"

As Shuen's disgusting and shrill voice played, a gloom unconsciously crept up between Phoenix's brows.

According to Xiao Gui, the so-called exhibition match is actually the Ark version of the Roman Colosseum.

"It's too early for you to tell me this now. Assassination is not scientific research. If you focus on a target and spend a lot of money, there is a small chance that it will succeed.

Assassination requires opportunity. If the opportunity doesn't come, it will be useless even if you have planned everything."

After much thought, Phoenix finally rejected Shuen's suicide proposal decisively, and said before the kid got mad:

"Okay, okay, don't be so upset, this is not the only solution.

Let me ask you, do you have any dirt on these five old guys? For example, tax evasion, drug trafficking, smuggling, etc. The more the better."

"Ha~?"

Hearing what this guy said, Shu En raised his eyebrows in confusion, waving his left hand again and again, muttering to himself.

"Don't tell me your solution is to call the police. What's the point of reporting these trivial matters? The worst that can happen is that you can just give a few more checks to the relevant central management departments and spend some money to bail them out.

In a few months, the big things will be reduced to small things. "

That being said, Xiao Gui's efficiency was quite high. She retrieved from the database all the criminal records of suspected illegal drug trafficking, illegal organ trading, and illegal industrial chains.

"Well, that's all I can get. What are you going to do?"

Looking at the various secretly taken photos, the audio files with text versions and the relevant testimonies provided by the victims on the 3D projection.

After gaining a new understanding of the extent of the Ark's corruption, Phoenix turned his head again, looked at the cold face of a certain feline killer, and asked meaningfully:

"Aboard?"

D: "...Shut up."

Chapter 72: Second Meeting with Shu En (Part 3)

It’s an open conspiracy. It’s absolutely a blatant open conspiracy!

Looking at the large number of questionable accounts marked by Shuen, D, who had killed many leaders of illegal organizations, did not need anyone else's help in analysis. He could see by himself what kind of foul filth was hidden under these problematic account books.

Kill?

According to D's principles, even if she knew that Phoenix was obviously trying to use her to kill someone, she still wanted to pick up the axe and kill the person for him.

However, reason and experience kept reminding D that she couldn't kill these five old guys before getting the order from the Tribunal.

and so……

kill,

Or not to kill?

D failed to give Phoenix an answer right away.

However, isn't this attitude itself an answer in someone's eyes?

As we all know, the word "hesitation" can sometimes be replaced by "heartbeat".

"Ha~ It seems that the professional killer you mentioned is quite self-aware." Seeing that D didn't say anything, Shuen immediately put on a "I knew it would be like this" look on his face and said:

"If you don't dare to answer it, get out of here and don't stand here and waste our time."

She was not afraid of the other party leaking the information. Since he was a professional killer, he would not offend a CEO of Missilis for no reason.

Unfortunately, she forgot one very important thing.

D indeed does not retaliate against her for the verbal humiliation.

but……

There was also a man present who had strangled her.

"By the way, have you ever done anything like tax evasion or committing a crime?" It just sounded like a casual chat between friends, and there was no deliberateness in Phoenix's tone.

Therefore, Shu En, whose emotional intelligence has always been negative, did not disappoint everyone. Without thinking, he blurted out a set of violent remarks that despised society and the law.

"Ha~~! Is this some kind of childish question?

Illegal or criminal?

Do you know how many provisions in the Ark Criminal Code were amended by various financial groups who hired legal teams at great expense?

Do you know why mentally ill people are exempt from murder?

Do you know why demands for the death penalty are increasing every year?

Do you think these things that seem to respect human rights are for poor guys like you?

Stop being funny!

87% of the researchers at the Central MMR Weapons Research Institute were sent there by us from Missilis, and I participated in the development of core technologies for all new weapons.

So I, Shuen, will never commit a crime, and no court dares to convict me. As for the scrap metal machine of Anik, as long as the central government has more than half of the votes to refuse it from intervening in the judgment, what can it do to me? "

When Shuen announced her values ​​of the survival of the fittest in an extremely arrogant and domineering manner.

Anger, pain, resentment, sorrow, all the negative emotions caused by the trampling of ideals were madly stimulating D's nerves. The side effects of the near-death relief further amplified the emotional fluctuations at this juncture and even began to disrupt her breathing.

This underage kid...

Damn!

The thought of dying together invaded D's mind like wildfire, and the emotion of martyrdom for the ideal he had pursued all his life quickly expanded and spread in his mind.

It would be better to kill the other person here.

She was willing to do it while there was still a chance, even if she would be destroyed by Ark Central afterwards.

Correct,

Killed right here...

Snapped.

A few seconds before the executioner of the Tribunal was about to lose control, Phoenix, sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, suddenly stretched out his left hand, reached over the back of the sofa, and gently grasped D's forearm.

"tired?"

"Come, come and sit for a while. The boss of Missilis doesn't need the money for this sofa."

The man's tone was gentle, but it gave Nikki an inexplicable sense of command.

So, for some unknown reason, under Phoenix's seemingly suggestive but actually overbearing guidance, the confused D instinctively walked around the armrest of the sofa and sat next to the commander in a daze.

A sofa is a single-seater sofa.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to say "sitting next to the commander" rather than "sitting next to the man."

"Then according to your idea, why don't you just hold a board meeting and use your gun to criticize everyone who opposes you?"

As someone spoke, he boldly pulled D's right hand in front of Shuen, placed it on his thigh and gently held it, stroking the delicate and cool back of the hand with his thumb.

This sudden intimate action immediately made the little kid open his eyes wide in excitement.

assistant?

This...is this really just an assistant?

Not to mention that Shuen was unable to accept the scene in front of him for a while, even the person himself had a blank mind because of Phoenix's unexpected intimate behavior.

Just like that, with just one move, someone successfully suppressed the excitement of the two women present.

"Your laboratory in Missilis should have many captured low-level Letchers."

Ignoring the two's shock, Phoenix quickly proposed a plan that would catch their attention.

“Well, you pretend to leak the news and say that your laboratory has preliminarily completed the program modification of the low-level Letcher, but the effect is not very stable at this stage.

Then find a way to get someone to take the lead and force you to show results, and guide the board members to put pressure on you, do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

When it comes to the skill of ambushing people, Shuen's self-righteous cleverness obviously cannot keep up with Phoenix's thinking and rhythm of making big moves and starting with injuries.

Why guide board members to put pressure on you?

What happens after the pressure is applied?

Gone? ? ?

The CEO of Missilis didn't want to admit his incompetence just like that, so he had to raise his eyebrows, cross his legs, and put on the unique posture of a leader.

"Go on, don't you see that your assistant doesn't seem to understand?!"

Phoenix: “…”

D: “…”

Without revealing Shuen's final stubbornness and dignity, someone who was cooperating with the performance continued:

“The board of directors is putting pressure on you just to make you publicize your technology. You have to repeatedly declare that this technology is immature while maintaining your image, in order to remove any suspicion from yourself.

Then you compromise again, take the board to the research room you have prepared, find a reason to call me along, and then perform a scene of Letcher losing control and going berserk.

Remember, it is better to have a longer time out of control, and find reasons and destruction plans in advance for any unexpected monitoring and data loss.
