Chapter 153 Xingyuan
The drawers were opened one by one.

After the end, the man stepped aside consciously, and he didn't open the drawer without Ye Ming's permission.

"Open."

Ye Ming didn't do it himself, but signaled the man to come forward and open it.

The man froze for a moment, then stepped forward nervously.

Obviously, both of them were worried that there would be some dangerous mechanism in the drawer. This kind of thing was very common, and both of them were prepared.

It's just that Ye Ming can direct the man to act in comparison, but the man has no reason to refuse.

Fortunately, he is also a professional.

He came to the drawer and squatted down slowly, reached out and opened the first drawer, his nerves were always tense, and he would react immediately if there was any danger.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

After the drawer was opened, the contents inside were presented quietly in front of the two of them.

Just some letters.

Ye Ming took those envelopes into his hands from the air, and there was obviously something wrong with things that could be locked in a drawer.

Besides, the existence of such things as letters is very strange.

Today's world is no longer the era of correspondence, and the network has connected almost every corner of the known universe.

I can communicate by writing letters, but I can only be afraid that I will be exposed when communicating on the Internet.

Who is Luvia secretly contacting?

Ye Ming was secretly puzzled. Combined with the criminal evidence mentioned by the man, these are actually very intriguing.

But this is not the time to read these. Ye Ming put away the letter, and the man has already opened the second drawer.

The contents of the second drawer caught the man's eyes.

Those were exactly what he was looking for, the ledgers representing Luvia's criminal evidence.

Ye Ming was also curious about what they were looking for, so he took a look at it and found something very interesting.

Luvia has been embezzling funds from the imperial treasury in the past few years when Vera IV retreated behind the scenes.

Those funds were invested in a program called "Divine Inspiration."

The more Ye Ming watched, the more frightened he became. What Luvia did was far crazier than she imagined. In just a few years, she almost emptied the national treasury.

It can be said that the decline of the empire has something to do with her.

And these loopholes were filled by her cleverly with fake accounts, and these things are usually managed by the Royal Council, so no one has discovered the problem in these years.

Once these things are released, it is absolutely impossible for Luvia to be crowned successfully.

Whether it is the Senate or the noble group will prevent Luvia from being crowned, then the words of a royal council will not matter.

There are not a few people in the empire who have different intentions, and they are all waiting for something to happen to Luvia.

It can be said that this evidence can directly put Luvia to death.

But it doesn't mean much to him.

He handed over the ledger to the man and let them do what they want.

He found that he seemed to have begun to transform into a fun person, and he must have been influenced by the captain.

The man took the account book in surprise, he thought Ye Ming would not give it to him.

In this way his task has been completed.

In the last remaining drawer, it was obvious what was inside. There was only a data disk in it.

The data inside is exactly the experimental data of the Rebellion Project.

After confirmation, Ye Ming looked at the man:

"We haven't seen each other today."

"I see."

The man nodded quickly.

"But I don't believe you." Ye Ming smiled.

"What do you want to do..."

The man was startled when he heard the words, but before he finished speaking, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Ye Ming looked at the fallen man, and directly erased all the man's memories about him. He still can't tamper with the memory, but it's not difficult to delete the memory.

He didn't want to kill the man, because he wanted to know where things would go after the ledger was taken out.

And if someone takes the blame, no one will suspect him.

No matter how you search, you can only find the man, and it doesn't matter whether the man has other things besides the account book.

No one will believe his words.

After a while, the man woke up again, looked around nervously, and was relieved after confirming that he had not been caught.

"I found something, let's leave quickly!"

The man muttered in a low voice.

Although I always feel that I have forgotten something, it should not be a big deal.

Thinking of this, the man's body began to become transparent, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

Ye Ming looked at the place where the man left, sensed and followed.

The man's ability can be regarded as an alternative space shuttle, so he only needs to sense the surrounding space fluctuations to find where he will appear.

Ye Ming moved directly to the position where the man would appear.

After a while, the surrounding space fluctuated, and the figure of the man appeared.

"It's finally out!"

The man was in a good mood, but he did not relax his vigilance.

In the following time, the man walked through various streets and alleys, and Ye Ming could only follow behind silently.

"This guy is too cautious."

Ye Ming couldn't help being a little speechless.

He is very confident in his concealment, the other party can't find him, so he can only be more cautious when he goes around in circles.

Prevent being followed.

It's a pity that this kind of cleverness can only guard against those ordinary stalkers. For people like Ye Ming, it is impossible to get rid of them anyway.

An hour later, the man finally finished his circle.

He sneaked into a deserted yard on the outskirts of the city.

Ye Ming thought for a while, and followed in quietly.

The man entered a basement with a middle-aged man inside.

"Number three, you're already 10 minutes late."

The middle-aged man heard footsteps and looked up at the man.

The man named No. [-] said in panic, "My lord, there was a little accident, but I have already got the things."

The middle-aged man heard the words, nodded and said:

"Since I got the thing, then I won't pursue it, just give it to me!"

"My lord, the reward..."

No. [-] didn't pass the things over directly.

"Hehe, can I still lie to you?" The middle-aged man sneered, took out a star card and threw it to number three.

No. [-] took the star card, and then handed over the ledger to the man, and said with a smile, "I knew you were generous!"

"you can go now."

The man ignored No. [-]'s flattery and waved his hands impatiently.

"Then I won't bother you."

Hearing the words, No. [-] was ready to leave with interest.

But at the moment when he turned around, his figure suddenly froze, and he looked at the palm protruding from his chest in disbelief.

In that bloody hand held a beating heart.

Then his heart shattered, and No. [-]'s eyes quickly dimmed.

The hand was pulled away from No. [-]'s chest, and No. [-]'s body slowly fell down. Only then did Ye Ming see the person who made the shot.

The figure shrouded in shadows looked similar to the middle-aged man.

The figure seemed to exist, but it didn't seem to be real. It was clearly close at hand, but it seemed to be thousands of miles away.

"Get rid of it!"

The middle-aged man's voice came again. He was flipping through the ledger, not caring about No. [-]'s death.

"When did I become your servant? Have you misunderstood your position?" Hei Ying said sullenly.

"Is it still so clear between us?"

The middle-aged man finally turned his head, looked at the shadow and said.

"Oh, you are always like this, this is the last time." The black shadow sneered, and his whole body began to swell, soon covering No. [-]'s body, followed by a creepy sound.

After a while, the black shadow recovered again, and No. [-]'s body had disappeared, not even a trace of blood left on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming retreated silently.

These two are not easy to mess with.

He followed him just to find out who he was trading with No. [-], and now his goal has been achieved.

He already remembered the appearance of the middle-aged man, and he could find out his identity just by looking it up later.

Maybe the ledger on the day of the coronation will be made public.

It's a pity that at that time, he would probably be in the ancestral tomb of Lavelle's family, and he would not be able to witness it immediately.

After returning home, Ye Ming had time to check the letters and the experimental data of the Niling Project.

Because he was curious about what Luvia had done in recent years, Ye Ming first opened those letters and read them one by one.

Then I found that these letters were nothing else, and they were basically progress reports about the "God-Apocalypse" project.

From these reports, Ye Ming roughly summed up the truth of the matter.

That is, Luvia left Aurora once a few years ago. At that time, Vera IV hadn't hidden behind the scenes, and Luvia was just a princess.

That trip was originally a simple trip, but there was an accident in the middle, and Luvia accidentally entered an ancient ruins.

And a mysterious thing was brought out from that ruin.

She called that thing a relic of the gods, and only a few people knew about it, including King Vera IV.

When Vera IV retreated behind the scenes to seek a breakthrough, Luvia realized one thing, everything would perish.

So she had a crazy idea.

She thought of the Rebellion Project, the project that tried to create a Protoss carrier.

As a result, the Divine Apocalypse Project was born. She wanted to use the god's relic to artificially create a god that could be controlled by her.

And this process naturally requires a lot of financial resources.

Ye Ming had to admire this idea. He didn't meet Luvia much, but she always gave Ye Ming the impression that she was a rational woman.

But I didn't expect her to have such a crazy side.

The point is that this crazy idea has actually made some progress. According to the report in the letter, this plan has been implemented to the second stage.

They have indeed created an initial consciousness of a god.

Now it is in the cultivation stage, and they want to support the newborn god to grow up.

It's a pity that these letters are very cautious, and it is impossible to know the specific location of the Divine Apocalypse Project.

"No wonder the experimental data of the Rebellion Project is in her hands."

Ye Ming finally solved the doubt in his heart now.

In fact, he was a little strange when he received this task. The Rebellion Project was something ten years ago, and Luvia was not very old at that time, and this experimental data should not have appeared in Luvia's hands at all.

It's just that no one answered this question for him.

Now he understands.

The Rebellion Project is the prototype of the Divine Apocalypse Project, but the two differ in their focus. What the Rebellion Project creates are only containers.

The Divine Apocalypse Project is to create a complete god.

Fortunately, they succeeded.

Maybe the captain knew about this, Ye Ming suddenly thought of this.

The captain was the person involved in the plan to eliminate the Negative Spirits.

If the captain secretly helped, it would not be uncommon for them to create a god.

But he was just guessing, and he planned to ask Xia Lun directly another day.

Afterwards, Ye Ming read the experimental data of the Niling Project.

He wasn't all that interested in the data, although he contributed to some of that data.

What he cares about is other things, such as the origin of his body.

Sure enough, he found two passages related to him in it:

"We finally found the most perfect experimental body! He was picked up from the entrance of the star abyss. Perfectly doesn't seem to belong to this muddy world. He is a perfect container that can perfectly integrate everything. We named him Zero."

"In the same year, we found another special experimental subject. Although she couldn't fuse everything, she was able to fuse the power of four elements. However, there seemed to be something sealed in her body, and we didn't dare to touch it easily..."

Seeing this, Ye Ming has found the answer he wanted.

The former of these two passages is about him, and the latter should be Alessa.

It was the first time he had heard of the special seal in Alessa's body.

But compared to this, he still cares more about his own situation. According to the above record, he was found near Xingyuan.

And the word Xingyuan is generally not easily mentioned by anyone.

There is no other reason, Xingyuan is generally considered to be an ominous thing.

The Star Abyss is also known as the Cemetery of Stars, where the final destination of the stars is. It is said that the dead stars together form the Star Abyss.

Any star close to the abyss will be swallowed up, but unlike the black holes that people often say, the abyss is also known as one of the boundaries of the known universe.

There is also a rumor that Xingyuan was the habitat of the Starry Sky Ancient Dragon Clan back then, and after the Starry Sky Ancient Dragon Clan disappeared, Xingyuan became a place of great evil.

It is not surprising that people from the Protoss sect would go to such a place.

The question is why is he there?
In the absence of other people, he was just a child at the time, why did he appear near the star abyss?
It's a pity that these questions are also things that other people doubt.

The people of the Protoss Sect finally interpreted this incident as a gift from the Protoss, believing that the Protoss recognized their piety and sent them the perfect container.

It's just that this statement is obviously just nonsense.

Ye Ming made a copy of these experimental data, and then sent it to Isha, so that his task was completed.

"The efficiency is very fast! It seems that your strength has improved again."

Isa will call back soon.

"A little bit."

Ye Ming replied.

Isa said again: "By the way, Captain Alessa may come to Aurora in a few days!"

"What is she doing here?"

Ye Ming was puzzled.

"Of course I came to see the coronation ceremony!"
