Chapter 310: Evidence

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

When Lu Wang found Yingzhou, he discovered the other party was having the residents of Chaona District return home; he hurried over, bowed to Yingzhou, and spoke.

"Chief Yingzhou, have the residents here already been checked?"

Seeing it was Lu Wang, Yingzhou nodded and replied.

"Yes, this incident can be considered successfully resolved."

Having said this, Yingzhou patted Lu Wang on the shoulder with a broad palm and said with a smile.

"But your strength is quite impressive, to actually be able to take care of that brood mother."

The polite smile on Lu Wang's face stiffened, and he looked at Yingzhou with surprise in his eyes.

How did he know I took care of that brood mother? Did he see the scene of me taking care of the brood mother? That shouldn't be; he should have been taking care of the Hatchery at that time. Could his sensory perception have reached such a terrifying range!

Harboring a trace of unease, Lu Wang asked Yingzhou.

"Chief Yingzhou, how did you know I took care of that brood mother?"

Yingzhou's originally relaxed smile also became stiff, and he felt a sense of panic inside.

That's right, how did he know he took care of the brood mother? It's impossible to tell him that one of his own Tasks failed, and he deduced that he had taken care of the brood mother, right?

After thinking for a few seconds, a flash of inspiration struck Yingzhou, and he said to Lu Wang with a smile.

"I saw traces of battle on you and guessed that you must have taken care of that brood mother."

This reason was very far-fetched, but both of them tacitly chose not to dwell on this matter.

"Lord Lu Wang, Councilor Yingzhou, Selina is here!"

A city defense soldier trotted up to the two of them and, after saluting, spoke.

"Selina?"

Yingzhou remembered this name; it seemed to be the woman who presided over the Council meetings. What was she doing here?

"She should be here to inquire about the situation regarding the traitor Pake. By the way, Chief Yingzhou, where is the traitor's corpse?"

"It's gone, burned away."

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Lu Wang asked Yingzhou again, unable to believe it.

"Chief Yingzhou, even if burned to death, there should still be a corpse, right? How could there be no corpse?"

"Uh... how should I explain this? Hmm... let's put it this way, my Back Spirit Ability can do that; his final traces were also blown away by a gust of wind."

As long as it's something I can't explain clearly, I'll push it all onto the Back Spirit Ability. This definitely won't be a problem for the Emperor, his old man; yes, reasonable.

Seeing Yingzhou say this, Lu Wang didn't say anything more. In just a few short sentences, he felt fortunate for the decision he had made earlier.

It was a good thing he persuaded Lord Pu Lie not to be overly eager for success; Yingzhou's Back Spirit Ability was simply too bizarre, as if new abilities were constantly appearing.

Soon, a woman with fair skin, soft features, a pair of glasses in front of her blue pupils, and a curvaceous figure was led by a city defense soldier to Yingzhou and Lu Wang.

"Chief Yingzhou, I wonder where Pake's corpse is? Do you have any evidence to prove that he is a traitor who betrayed the Human Alliance?"

Selina asked Yingzhou with an expressionless face, her blue pupils looking Yingzhou up and down.

"Pake's corpse cannot be found; I can tell you clearly that he is dead. As for the evidence of his betrayal of the Human Alliance, I will submit the evidence at the next Council meeting."

After answering Selina's question, Yingzhou looked at the slightly shaking Selina and asked in confusion.

"What? Is there a problem with what I said?"

"Chief Yingzhou, if you have evidence, it would be better to take it out now. If the evidence is not with you, I will be responsible for accompanying you to retrieve it."

Selina explained in a flat tone, then added one more sentence at the end.

"This is to ensure that your actions in the Inner City comply with regulations. If there are any irregularities in your behavior, the Council will maintain doubts about this matter."

"It doesn't matter; I was planning to go to the Research Institute anyway. The evidence there is enough to prove that Pake has betrayed the Human Alliance."

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City Research Institute.

Under Selina's guidance, Yingzhou walked through the well-arranged building complex all the way to the Ninth Defense Zone Research Institute.

Compared with other surrounding buildings, this research institute appeared out of place in both its appearance and overall atmosphere.

After walking closer, one could clearly see that the surface of the entire building was covered with lines of Spirit Patterns.

And in front of the research institute's main gate lay a group of researchers dressed in white coats.

They were sprawled on the ground, unconscious. Not far from these unconscious researchers stood two tall Kasrkin soldiers wearing Carapace Armor.

These two Kasrkin soldiers were gripping their Hellguns tightly, looking around and chatting.

"I wonder how the Emperor will deal with these guys."

"The great Emperor will surely have a way to solve it."

"That person looks a bit like... the Emperor!"

While chatting, the two Kasrkin soldiers discovered Yingzhou walking over from a distance. Their voices stopped abruptly, and the two stood at attention, waiting for Yingzhou to arrive.

After seeing Yingzhou walking toward them, the two Kasrkin soldiers saluted Yingzhou and said.

"Emperor!"

Yingzhou nodded and said, "What is the situation with these people?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, they are all researchers in this building. We have already brought them all under control, awaiting your decree."

Yingzhou looked at this group of researchers; most of the white coats on the researchers inside were new, but there were also a few researchers who were different from the others. Their white coats were tattered, their figures were thin, and they looked sickly.

Seeing this scene, Yingzhou felt amused: This research institute actually does this kind of thing? Are these the ostracized researchers?

But considering that Selina was still following him, Yingzhou put these matters aside for now and entered the research institute with Selina.

"So, the Council knows about the experiments that Pake supported?"

Entering the research institute, Yingzhou looked at the ceiling, which was still a distance away from his head, and asked casually.

"The experiments supported by Pake were proposed by a professor named Kesumo; he is also the nominal person in charge of this research institute.

As for the specific details of the experiments, I have no right to ask; only Councilors can intervene in this matter. It's just that, at the time, the only one concerned about the research institute was Pake; other Councilors did not care about the situation of the research institute, and there were even Councilors who wanted to abolish the research institute institution previously."

After listening, Yingzhou nodded and said, "Apart from Kesumo, are there no other professors at the Research Institute?"

"There is one other professor, named Daoer, but he seems to have had a conflict with Kesumo, to the extent that he has been suppressed by Kesumo."

Yingzhou nodded thoughtfully and spoke up.

"I see, do you know what the reason is?"

"It is because Daoer did not approve of Kesumo's research, which led the two to part ways."

"I see, I understand."
