Chapter 254 - Chapter 254 131 She was too proactive

Chapter 254: 131 She was too proactive Chapter 254: 131 She was too proactive The kind of secret agent talk that sounds like it would fool kids…

Hera actually believed it.

Originally, Yang Ming was just pretending to try, but now he had to think seriously.

Was it because he had some ointment on his face that made him look more decent, or was this woman so into her research that her brain had rusted?

However, Yang Ming quickly discovered that Hera wasn’t easily fooled.

“Mister, no offense intended, but can I know your identification number?”

Hera asked softly, carefully watching Yang Ming’s micro-expressions.

“Identification number?” Yang Ming calmly retorted, “Do you think a secret investigator would have an identification system? Should I wear a badge and run around?”

“Then how should I verify your identity?”

Hera asked cautiously, seemingly afraid of angering Yang Ming.

She asked, “Are there secret websites that can verify your information, or can you provide other evidence? Only then can I believe you are an FBI secret agent. I’m not very familiar with this system, but I know many spies might use such cover-ups.”

“Hera, do you know how tight our information defense system is? Spies usually come here and leave empty-handed.”

Yang Ming thought carefully and then replied slowly,

“I can tell you a few inside pieces of news that may be related to you to prove I have a relatively high level of intelligence access.

“But I must tell you, I cannot directly reveal to you the department I belong to or the mission I am currently undertaking.”

Hera nodded forcefully but immediately stood up.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go put on some clothes; it feels somewhat improper like this.”

With that, she rushed to the bedroom.

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

Although Lyu had already controlled the house’s surveillance, Yang Ming was still worried Hera had other ways to observe him, so he did not make any unnecessary expressions.

He crossed his legs, interlocking his fingers on his knees, and began to think quietly.

Staying on Ao Star posed great risks.

–The crop blight on Ram Star could easily point back to him.

But this good opportunity before him prompted Yang Ming to try a simple maneuver.

This scientist was immensely valuable.

Firstly, Hera had anomalies; she seemed to have an inexplicable connection with the Insect Race.

Yang Ming quietly inquired, “Can we determine if she’s controlled by those things by detecting her brainwaves?”

Text immediately floated on the glasses.

[Yes.]

“Keep an eye on her. Let me know of any fluctuations, at any time, under any circumstance.”

[Alright, Boss. Ever since your encounter with her, that strange brainwave hasn’t appeared again.]

[Perhaps it’s because of your influence. You might be considered a predator, probably.]

Yang Ming continued, “Once there are any signs of danger on the neighboring planet, we’ll leave immediately.”

[Boss, there is already partial chaos on Ram Star. The blight and fires have affected many residents. Professor Pat is desperately suppressing the news, convinced that their experiments are responsible for what’s happening.]

Yang Ming nodded and continued thinking.

Based on existing information, Hera’s father, the famous biologist Nadal, was likely involved in the New Federation’s ‘Insect Race breeding’ plan.

Moreover, part of Hera’s memory had been erased.

Since a young age, she had been hailed as a prodigy, a genius–a “quasi” expert in bioinformatics. She was drilled with knowledge by her father from a few years old, started publishing papers in her teens, and even underwent brain development training.

However… these data should be taken with skepticism.

After all, many famous parents like to embellish their children’s achievements.

As it stood, her research capabilities were of no actual value to Yang Ming.

Because of her father’s position, she might gain proximity to the secret base on Ram Star, which was extremely important to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming’s thoughts gradually cleared.

What use was there in even getting near the base? Charge in recklessly?

The best outcome, of course, would be to destroy the location entirely, removing the threat of insect infestation from Wind.

But that was obviously unrealistic.

Yang Ming had to consider how he could safely leave the New Federation.

He couldn’t act impulsively, nor could he attract the attention of even regular police officers.

‘Intelligence.’

Yes, the only thing he needed to do now was to gather intelligence and obtain enough evidence to prove the New Federation was breeding the Insect Race.

The New Federation’s information defense was extremely tight and due to systemic reasons, they managed their digital world by provinces, making cross-province data hard to circulate.

Even if he could successfully spark a wave of public opinion within the New Federation, the officials there could easily and cheaply extinguish it.

However, what would happen if he delivered this intelligence to the Sherman Empire?

The Sherman Empire adhered to the idea of unity, implementing a nationwide network connection. Directly throwing out this intelligence, the Sherman Empire’s public opinion would undoubtedly explode.

The New Federation breeding insects surely wasn’t intended just to provide feed for their livestock.

For all we know, large quantities of insect eggs might already be scattered across uninhabited planets within the Sherman Empire. If the Sherman Empire starts taking this seriously, conducts a search, and finds a tiny piece of evidence…

A comprehensive Galaxy war would be imminent.

Even if a large-scale war didn’t break out, the New Federation’s insect breeding plans would definitely be affected.

Plus, wherever an insect disaster broke out in the future, people would first suspect the New Federation was up to something.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming almost laughed out loud.
