Chapter 1217: It's Not Easy Being a Fence-Sitter

"Risking death to reveal the secret, why did Prince Andre shell the palace?"

"Prince Andre intends to use new technology to completely control all citizens!"

"The broadcast is true! All royal family members have been killed!"

"Shocking! Prince Andre actually did this to his own kin!"

Looking at the shocking headlines posted outside the newsstand on the side of the road, the citizens who were originally suspicious and uncertain suddenly boiled over.

The content of that broadcast was actually all true. Prince Andre had actually committed treason!

Standing directly on the side of the road and finishing the article "Risking death to reveal the secret... shell the palace?" at a glance, a citizen with thick glasses on the bridge of his nose and a gentle appearance couldn't help but fall into shock.

In order to cover up the facts, Prince Andre not only sent troops to attack Princess Fei Liya and had people blow up the broadcast building, but even directly attacked the palace!

If it were just a text report, it might be hard to believe, but looking at the photo occupying more than half the space of the newspaper showing the mechanical legion marching toward the palace, the gentle citizen completely lost his composure. He subconsciously reached out to adjust his glasses, murmuring with a look of shock:

"This... this is too crazy. Prince Andre... how could he do this?"

"Heh, the truly crazy part is yet to come!"

Hearing the gentle citizen's murmur, another middle-aged man standing on the side of the road reading a newspaper turned his head and scanned the headline of the newspaper in his hand, then couldn't help but sneer, and handed the newspaper in his hand over, pointing to the six-shot picture on it:

"Look at this! This is the truly crazy one!"

"?"

After looking at the middle-aged man who suddenly spoke to him with suspicion, the gentle citizen took the newspaper somewhat woodenly, looked at the headline picture pointed to by the middle-aged man, and then his two eyes widened suddenly.

On those six dark-colored large pictures were the backs of the heads of six different men of different sizes, and the only common point of these six backs of heads was that there was a metal mechanical "spider" crawling on each of them.

And the six legs of these six mechanical spiders, like six sharp chisels, directly broke through the thin layer of skin and flesh on the six backs of heads, and the sharp tips even faintly chiseled into the skull, as if they were sucking something, stuck firmly on top.

After hurriedly scanning the content of the report, the gentle citizen trembled his lips and said:

"Is this... the means to control other people's thoughts mentioned in the broadcast? Did the No. 1 Research Area really develop technology to turn people into puppets?"

"Otherwise?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and answered with a look of fear:

"Didn't you see that the photos are already out? Can this still be fake?"

"Maybe... maybe they are all staged?"

Seeming unable to accept such a crazy reality, the gentle glasses-wearing man couldn't help but assume:

"I see these people have all passed out. What if these mechanical spiders were installed afterward to frame Prince Andre? It's not like there's no such possibility, right?"

"Tsk... are you trying to be difficult here?"

Facing the glasses-wearing man's assumption, the middle-aged man couldn't help but curse, then grabbed another newspaper and stuffed it into his hand, shouting in a fierce voice:

"Those just now might have been staged, then look at this one and see if it's staged!"

Startled by the middle-aged man's loud voice, the glasses-wearing man subconsciously shrank his neck, then took the somewhat crumpled newspaper, opened it carefully, and then...

"Hiss!!!"

At the moment of seeing the headline picture, a cold current rushed directly from the glasses-wearing man's tailbone, rushed up his spine all the way to his crown, making his scalp go numb, and he couldn't help but gasp, tearing a big hole in the newspaper with a shake of his hand.

"Hey, you!" After glaring at the glasses-wearing man, the middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction:

"I just lent it to you to take a look, why did you tear my newspaper? You have to pay me for a new one!"

However, at this time, the glasses-wearing man could no longer hear what the middle-aged man was saying. His gaze crossed over his glasses, which were as thick as the bottom of a bottle, and locked firmly onto the headline picture of this newspaper.

The location where the photo was taken seemed to be a somewhat dim hall. Over a hundred people with numb and stiff expressions were, under the illumination of cold blue lights, with the upper half of their skulls opened, revealing one after another pink-purple brains full of grooves, their eyes staring fixedly at the lens.

The person responsible for taking the photo didn't know if their technique wasn't very good, or if they were scared by these people with "skulls wide open," but not only was the shooting lens somewhat tilted, even the faces of most people were shot somewhat blurry.

However, this slight flaw in the photography technique happened to blur the faces of the vast majority of the "Skull People," leaving behind only those pairs of dead, indifferent, human-like yet non-human, detached eyes.

And in the very center of this group of awe-inspiring skull people, the person sitting on the throne with a hunched back, exposing his empty skull forward, was King Fei En, who had appeared at the celebration just a few months ago and smiled while saluting the citizens of the Kelo Kingdom!

This... this... this...

Facing this terrible photo with explosive impact, and the fact behind the photo that was ten times or a hundred times more terrible, the glasses-wearing man's face turned pale, and he screamed uncontrollably:

"Ah!!!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The glasses-wearing man's shout was really somewhat abrupt, not only scaring the middle-aged man into holding his heart and complaining, but even Li Ang, who was flipping through a newspaper nearby, was startled by the shock, almost tearing the newspaper on the stall.

It seems the effect is not bad.

After turning his head to examine the glasses-wearing man's expression, Li Ang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, then got up and left the newsstand, walking into the flow of people on the street.

After these newspapers were all sent out, the final interference items could be considered eliminated.

Before this, with the help of Atifi 00's soul encoding technology, Prince Andre still had the possibility of taking action to control other legion commanders and pulling out another army. Besides dealing with Director Scorpio, he also had to guard against the legions that might be mobilized.

But after these newspapers were spread out, in order not to become someone else's puppet, the military officers of the remaining troops of the Kelo Kingdom would definitely not allow Prince Andre's messengers to approach them again. Besides Director Scorpio, he would have no other cards to play.

And after eliminating all "interference items" as much as possible, as long as he made the final preparations on his side, he could try to take action against the No. 1 Research Area.

Recalling the intelligence about Director Scorpio in his mind, Li Ang left the crowd after reaching his destination, walked to the green belt on the side of the street, squatted down and rummaged for a while in the bushes, took out a small milky-white flower, and flicked the stem of the flower lightly with his finger.

Immediately after, the emerald-eyed girl with her eyes closed tightly was thrown out from the stamen and fell into the green belt with a thud.

"Wake up."

After reaching out and patting Fei Liya's smooth and tender face, waking her from her coma, and amidst the emerald-eyed girl's blank expression, Li Ang suggested with a serious look:

"Let's make a deal. I can save your life, and then you call me 'Dad', how about that?"

"Ah?"
