Chapter 113

After the meeting, Qi Ming found Emi and asked if the footage recorded by his helmet camera could be projected onto the large screen at the exercise venue.

Emi tilted her head: "If there's an interface, it's possible, but what are you planning to do, Officer Qi Ming?"

Qi Ming looked at the tens of thousands of Defense Force soldiers lined up in large formations below, then at the high-ranking Defense Force officers seated in the presiding group, and smiled: "I'm afraid they'll be too bored waiting, so I want to put on a little show to liven things up for them."

Emi: "That doesn't sound like anything good, but I'll help you."

After saying this, she requested authorization for Qi Ming's helmet interface and began tinkering with it.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong; just wait and watch the show."

Qi Ming had Saijo Nagi prepare to pilot Victory Feiyan 2 for takeoff at any moment before departing with peace of mind.

On the Defense Force side, after being sternly instructed by Officer Saijo to "protect Dr. Professor Laichuan with your life," Hirota arrived at a secluded corner.

He shouted in his heart to the Alien Pega: "What's going on? Why didn't you let me win?"

The Alien Pega communicated with him via telepathy: "Do you think that guy who got the same score as you is some simple character? He is no ordinary person."

"If we hadn't helped you, it wouldn't have been as simple as a tie; you would have lost outright!"

Lost... Hirota became terrified.

He absolutely could not lose; he would never allow such a thing!

The Alien Pega coaxed him: "As long as you can take out Dr. Professor Laichuan in the upcoming operation, we will increase our support for you and ensure you win the competition."

"I don't think it needs to be that complicated..." Hirota's face revealed murderous intent: "As long as I take that guy out, no one will be able to compare to me!"

The two, having made their respective preparations, set off together to pick up Dr. Professor Laichuan at the airport before heading back.

Hirota drove in the front, while Qi Ming sat in the back with the somewhat uneasy Dr. Professor Laichuan.

"Don't worry, Doctor. With me here, nothing will happen." Qi Ming's calm demeanor infected the doctor.

He also smiled: "Of course I trust your abilities. You young man are truly handsome."

Hirota, sitting in the driver's seat with a stiff expression, said: "You seem to think you're quite something. Is it just because you got the same score as me?"

His right hand began to act restlessly; his provocative words were meant to distract Qi Ming.

But this naturally could not escape Qi Ming's sharp eyes. He pretended to scratch his head, while actually activating the camera function on his helmet.

"Go to hell! As long as I take you out, I'll be number one!" The next moment, Hirota slammed on the brakes, finally revealing his ferocious face.

Taking advantage of the two in the back seat leaning forward due to inertia, he suddenly drew his sidearm and pulled the trigger at Qi Ming's chest.

"Bang!" Qi Ming let out a scream, his body leaning back against the seat, looking exactly like someone who had been shot and killed.

Seeing Qi Ming "killed," a flash of pleasure crossed Hirota's eyes.

He then pointed his gun at Dr. Professor Laichuan: "You're the next to die, Doctor!"

…………………………

On the other side, the TPC and Defense Force high command at the exercise field were anxiously waiting for Dr. Professor Laichuan.

Advisor He Zhi felt somewhat restless: "There won't be any problems, will there..."

Officer Saijo had an arrogant expression: "I have confidence in my soldiers."

"Hirota is a true soldier. He possesses an iron-blooded will and values Dr. Professor Laichuan's safety more than his own life."

"In terms of tactical literacy and the ability to handle emergencies, none of you half-baked types relying on American technology can compare."

Advisor He Zhi was just about to retort when the large screen on the exercise field, previously used to play footage of the contestants, suddenly displayed an image.

"What's the situation? Wasn't the exercise paused?"

"Are they going to play commercials?"

Emi thought thoughtfully: "It seems Officer Qi Ming has turned on his camera."

The footage gave everyone a shock right from the start: Hirota in the driver's seat slammed on the brakes and then fired a shot in the direction of the recording.

Then he pointed the muzzle at Dr. Professor Laichuan: "You're the next to die, Doctor!"

Dr. Professor Laichuan's face turned pale, his tone trembling: "Why? Weren't you here to protect me?"

Hirota's expression was ferocious:

"Why? Because your existence hinders the Alien Pega's invasion of Earth!"

"The reason I was able to stand out in the Defense Force is because the Alien Pega were helping me."

"As long as I kill you, they will let me keep winning, and I can be the number one person in Japan!"

"Go to hell, Doctor!"

After saying this, he pulled the trigger again.

The next moment, the fallen Qi Ming suddenly "rose from the dead," violently kicking Hirota's wrist, causing the shot to miss.

Hirota clutched his aching wrist: "What? You didn't die!"

Qi Ming smashed a bullet into his face: "Here, take this back!"

This was the bullet Hirota had just fired at him.

Qi Ming, having anticipated this, had caught the bullet Hirota fired at the critical moment and then found a good angle to lie down.

Now that he saw him tear off his disguise and reveal his true colors, Qi Ming naturally didn't need to keep pretending.

Everyone has now seen what kind of person you are.

…………………………

On the exercise field.

Whether it was the TPC or the Defense Force, everyone was in an uproar after seeing the footage on the large screen; it was truly shocking.

What kind of live broadcast is this? It scared me to death!

The media were all in an uproar and shocked, each one incredibly excited.

Big news, super big news, the news of the century, an absolute headline topper!

An elite soldier of the Defense Force is actually a slave to aliens!

Officer Saijo, who had been full of confidence just a moment ago, turned ashen, his body trembling: "How did this happen? What is this? What has happened!"

The highest commander of the Defense Force—Commander Sima Hui—also had a horrified expression.

This live broadcast in front of everyone is too terrifying; it is a massive scandal, enough to nail the Defense Force to Japan's pillar of shame forever.

Advisor He Zhi was also dumbfounded.

Only after seeing Qi Ming make his move did he let out a sigh of relief.

He walked up to Officer Saijo, who was questioning his own existence: "Confidence in your soldiers? Iron-blooded will? Protect with your life? Tactical literacy?"

Tu Qiao You had a serious expression: "Commander Sima Hui, why are your Defense Force people colluding with aliens? Are you planning to harm Dr. Professor Laichuan?"

Commander Sima Hui hurriedly said: "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

And Officer Saijo also reacted, insisting stubbornly: "This must be a synthetic video. Who put this kind of thing on the large screen? This is a frame-up against us!"

Advisor He Zhi: "Whether it's fake or not, we'll know what's going on once Dr. Professor Laichuan arrives."

…………………………

Inside the car, Hirota unwillingly prepared to fight to the death, but Qi Ming was not polite, kicking him unconscious with a whip kick.

He patted the back of the still-shaken Dr. Professor Laichuan: "Don't worry, Doctor. Everything is under control."

"This guy is a pathetic person who pursued honor too much and was taken advantage of by the Alien Pega, but I had been guarding against him from the start."

"By the way, I'm curious to ask, do you have the urge to give the Alien Pega a shot of the 【Super Weapon R1】 now?"

Dr. Professor Laichuan, gradually calming down, nodded heavily.

Not only exposing Hirota's true face but also successfully "persuading" the doctor—this is what you call killing two birds with one stone.
