I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

"Memory extraction failed." Wen Yi walked into the office with a recorder.

His words stunned everyone.

"How could this happen?" Shen Yi asked.

Wen Yi recalled the scene at that time. The moment he implanted the brain port into Sascott's brain, Sascott's brain nerves began to atrophy violently in an instant and quickly spread throughout the brain.

It happened so fast that before he could even take any action, Sascott was already brain dead.

After testing and analysis, Wen Yi discovered that the other party had been injected with a neurotoxin in advance, which would remain dormant in the brainstem nerves once injected.

The person who is injected will not normally show any abnormalities. Only when the brain nerves are stimulated by external objects will the toxin quickly take effect and directly engulf the entire nerve center.

"Analysis shows that the dormant period of this toxin is only seven days. If the antidote is not taken after seven days, the recipient will become demented due to nerve paralysis."

"Based on Sascot's level of infection, he should have been injected three days ago."

"But why did he inject himself with poison? Did he know that he would be caught?" Qi Yan was puzzled.

Wen Yi shook his head: "This kind of toxin will be fine as long as you take the antidote on time, so it is most likely that the person behind the scenes is controlling them."

But Qi Yan didn't think so. Sascott's fanatical belief couldn't be faked. Even if the poison was provided by the mastermind, he should have accepted it voluntarily.

That's why he was so calm when extracting his memories.

This organization is really crazy, they can go to such lengths to hide the secret.

"This old fox has never left since he came to Cixing, which means the person who injected the poison into him must also be in Cixing." Shen Yi said.

Wen Yi seemed to be thinking: "Three days ago, that was exactly when we discovered that Stian appeared on the secondary planet."

If this is true, then this Stian must be related to the person behind the scenes, and he may even be the mastermind.

Knowing that the mastermind might be around them made Qi Yan a little anxious.

Now Stian is their only clue to tracking down the mastermind, and his relationship with Lin Che also makes Qi Yan worried.

One is the future brother-in-law who once depended on each other, and the other is an acquaintance. It is obvious which one is more important.

This made Qi Yan even more uncertain about persuading Lin Che.

He told Huo Linyuan about his worries, but Huo Linyuan just smiled.

Qi Yan puffed up her cheeks, a little angry at his nonchalant attitude.

Huo Linyuan laughed, took his hand and held him on his lap, put his slender fingers on his forehead, and slowly smoothed his frown.

"Zoe is watching over Lin Che, so don't worry too much."

"But……"

Although she knew that they had made strict arrangements around Lin Che, Qi Yan was still a little worried.

Huo Linyuan took his hand and kissed it: "Come with me to a place."

"Where are you going?" Qi Yan asked.

"Go meet someone."

-

The royal family has completely blocked any news about the banquet, and now all those attending the banquet have been placed under house arrest in disguise, so there hasn't been any stir on the Star Internet yet.

But secretly, interstellar forces of all sizes began to stir, and there was a kind of calm before the storm.

The Imperial Military Academy was the same as usual, and this banquet did not have any impact on the students.

Lin Che crossed the Red Street and deliberately circled the mixed port area a few times. Finally, he stopped in front of an abandoned building.

"Come out."

As he finished speaking, a young man walked out from behind a big tree.

Stian walked up to him with a smile: "Long time no see, Xiao Che."

"It's you?" Lin Che was a little surprised.

"It's me. You're still as alert as ever, which is good." Stian spoke in a somewhat elder's tone, trying to get closer to him in a familiar manner.

Lin Che narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat alert: "You are not dead."

"Yes, I am not dead. I was stabbed last time, but luckily I was saved by someone else and survived."

However, the vigilance on Lin Che's face did not relax at all because of his words.

What Stian didn't know was that the last time Lin Che took Lin Yao away, he returned to the scene alone and happened to meet the group of people dealing with the bodies.

He followed them quietly, and finally saw them push all the bodies into a deep pit that had been dug in advance. Then a man in black poured a large amount of corpse-dissolving water into the pit.

Lin Che had used this thing before, so he naturally knew how powerful it was. No matter whether it was a living person or a dead person, once it came into contact with them, they would be reduced to pieces.

So in that situation, Stian had no chance of survival at all.

Stian saw that he was on guard and a hurt look appeared on his face.

"Xiao Che, don't you want me to be alive?"

He lowered his head, exuding a dejected aura.

"I know that I should die like that to make up for my sin of not protecting A-Yao."

"But Xiao Che, since God has allowed me to live, it must be because he wants me to make it up to you. Besides, I am capable now. I will definitely take good care of you and A Yao in the future. Believe me!"

He raised his head, moved closer to Lin Che step by step, then stretched out his hand hopefully, wanting to grab Lin Che's arm.

Just when he was about to touch it, Lin Che suddenly dodged his hand, then a silver light flashed, and a Tang sword appeared in Lin Che's hand.

Lin Che slashed down with his sword without hesitation.

Stian reacted quickly and dodged immediately. If he had been a second slower, his hand would have been cut off by Lin Che.

A trace of surprise flashed across Stian's face, then he stood up straight and looked at Lin Che calmly, with the previous flattering and intimate look on his face no longer there.

"What are you doing, Che?"

Lin Che pointed the tip of the knife at him: "Who are you?"

"We have lived and died together and depended on each other for more than ten years. It makes me sad that you say this!" Stian supported his forehead with his hand, with an embarrassed expression.

However, immediately afterwards, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked sideways at Lin Che, and let out a strange laugh.

"If you are as obedient as Lin Yao and follow me obediently, maybe I can really consider ensuring that you will have no worries in the future."

Lin Che felt a chill in his heart and secretly took precautions with his hands.

"What a pity, what a pity..." Stian laughed slyly, his face twisted and strange, and he looked evil and weird.

At this moment, he had completely torn off his disguise and spread his hands arrogantly: "However, now that you already know, I can still give you this opportunity."

"As long as you hand over the information and submit to us, I will still take care of you and Lin Yao as before."

Lin Che looked at him coldly, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I should have thought of it earlier. You were the one who planned Lin Yao's arrest. You have been lurking around us for so many years. What do you want?"

After saying this, his eyes flashed and he suddenly chopped down with a knife.

Stian jumped to the right, leaped onto a big tree nearby, and avoided Lin Che's attack effortlessly.

The corners of his mouth were strangely split to the back of his ears, revealing a row of sharp and snow-white teeth. His eyeballs did not move in his eye sockets like those of a living person, and he looked at Lin Che as if he was sizing up prey.

Then he spoke, his voice becoming hoarse and unpleasant: "Have I not been good to you? The more you know, the faster you will die. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Under Lin Che's gaze, his hands began to tremble constantly, and finally several tentacles with terrifying fangs grew out of them.

Those tentacles were covered in pitch-black scales and looked indestructible.

The next moment, they all attacked Lin Che like crazy.
