Who is the Mole

The Central Federation District has a place called the Land of Forgotten. The architecture resembles an inverted Pyramid, constructed from special metals and buried nearly a kilometer underground. It serves as a prison for major criminals; the greater the crime, the deeper the cell.

Once imprisoned, they are never released, as if they have vanished from the world, hence the name 'Land of Forgotten.'

Since its construction nearly three hundred years ago, the cell at the tip of the 'Pyramid' had remained vacant. However, a few months ago, someone finally became its resident...

Sunlight is banished from the long corridor, making the entire space appear dim. Only the crystals on the walls emit a faint glow. Due to the lack of sunlight for many years, the air in the corridor carries a humid, turbid quality, making one feel uncomfortable.

The current Fellinton Civilization Governor, Ke Li, walked through the corridor. He no longer displayed the flattery and ingratiation he had shown Hua Zhen. His face was frighteningly dark, giving the impression that he would devour anyone.

A tall young man, resembling him by eighty percent, followed behind him. They walked in silence, creating a heavy atmosphere.

At the end was a massive metal gate, with two mecha guards standing on either side. Nearly two meters tall, their bodies were composed of countless tiny metal scales, with numerous moving parts beneath the surface. A purple glowing crystal was embedded in their chests, and their heads featured a row of compound eyes emitting a cold light.

As Ke Li and the young man approached, the mecha scanned them, and after confirming their identities, turned and opened the gate, then returned to their original positions.

After staring at the two mecha for a moment, Ke Li seemed to remember something and turned to the young man, "Ao Ge, what did you gain from your trip there? Did you find a way to enter the outer defense line?"

"Nothing at all..." Ao Ge sighed. "As you know, Father, the ruins have an astonishing number of mecha like these. Once the defense network is triggered, they all activate. With Fellinton's current technology, it's impossible to continue exploring!"

Seeing his certainty, Ke Li frowned, "Can't even you get in with your current abilities?"

Ao Ge didn't answer, but the helplessness in his eyes gave the answer.

"I understand, let's go inside with me..."

The space inside the cell was large. Four massive metal pillars stood in the center, and after being energized by the circular platform device below, intricate patterns on them shot out several blue particle streams, forming a small cage.

A man was imprisoned in the cage, bound to a circular pillar by more than a dozen wide leather straps. In his thirties, a pale face was visible through his chestnut hair. He was unremarkable and appeared weak, with broken glasses perched on his nose. His eyes were dull as he looked at Ke Li and his son entering, without a trace of spirit.

"Ge Na? Was it him who destroyed the shielding equipment in the base?" Ao Ge said, looking surprised as he recognized the man in the cage.

Ke Li's expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, "Interrogation is ineffective, and hallucinogens don't work either. If I didn't want to know who was behind him, I would have killed him long ago!"

"Hallucinogens don't work? How is that possible?!" Ao Ge repeated, looking very surprised.

Ke Li didn't answer him, but walked to the front of the cage, looking at the man inside, "Ge Na, you have always been the person I trust the most, but I never thought you would do such a thing! Do you know that your foolish actions have pushed our Fellinton to the brink of destruction!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, until the latter half of his sentence was almost a roar, the sound echoing in the cell for a long time.

"I... I'm sorry, Governor, I have disappointed you..." The man in the cage called Ge Na had a very hoarse voice, like sandpaper rubbing against a tabletop, one could imagine the inhuman treatment he had suffered during this time.

Ke Li showed no pity, "Tell me, who is the person who ordered you? I will give you a quick death!"

Ge Na bit his lip tightly, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and after taking a trembling breath, he closed his eyes: "I'm sorry, Governor... I still can't tell you who that person is..."

"Damn bastard!"

"Father, what exactly is going on? Ge Na doesn't seem like the kind of person who would betray Fellinton, does he?" Ao Ge, who had just returned to Fellinton, finally voiced his doubts. It was normal that he didn't understand the situation.

After another fruitless inquiry, Ke Li was very annoyed. He sighed and said helplessly, "Ge Na's family is no longer in the Central Federation District~"

"What?!!"

Fellinton secretly conducts research on super genes. To prevent researchers like Ge Na from having any worries, their families are naturally taken to a safe place. To put it nicely, they are under close protection; to put it bluntly, their families are controlled to prevent these people from leaking important secrets, after all, it concerns the survival of the entire Fellinton Civilization.

"Father, now that this has already happened, the most important thing is to find the mastermind behind Ge Na. The Third Prince of Tiangong has arrived. If that person contacts him and leaks the news of the ancient civilization ruins..."

Ke Li slammed the wall hard, his face so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it. "That's what I'm worried about now. The only four guys in Fellinton who could take Ge Na's family away silently are those four. It's just, is the mastermind one or two people, or..."

Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes sharply looking at his son, "Ao Ge, who do you think is the most suspicious of those four?"

Ao Ge frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Bang Ni and Dai Wei are excluded first..."

"Why exclude these two first?" Hua Zhen raised his eyebrows, looking at the acting Prefect Director, and asked the question in his heart.

"Your Highness, you don't know..." Ai Wen bowed slightly, "Among the Five Heads of the Federal Government, Dai Wei has always been Ke Li's most powerful supporter. It is because of his consortium's acquisition of those small federal countries that Ke Li was able to get the highest number of votes in the election and become the current Governor of Fellinton!"

"What is his purpose in doing this?" Hua Zhen asked.

"Of course, it's for doing business~" Ai Wen smiled, "People of Spacefaring Civilizations still have a very high desire for money, just like we angels have a desire for resources. Dai Wei is one of the best. He helps Ke Li become the Governor, and then gets many conveniences from Ke Li, monopolizing the federal economy and expanding his own consortium!"

Hua Zhen nodded understandingly: "Then what about the woman named Bang Ni? Why exclude her?"

"Don't underestimate this woman, Bang Ni. She is young, but her skills are strong and her abilities are great, even more so than the other four Heads. When Fellinton was electing a Governor, she was Ke Li's strongest competitor, but later, because of something, she gave up the election..."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Hua Zhen asked curiously.

"Bang Ni and Ke Li's son fell in love~"

"Damn, this... Ke Li is playing too dirty, isn't he? He actually used a 'handsome man scheme' against his competitor?" Hua Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth. I not only want the position of Governor, but I also want to be your father. Can a human do this?

"So, Your Highness, among the Five Heads of the Federal Government, I'm afraid only Dai Wei and Bang Ni don't want anything to happen to the Fellinton Civilization, because they share the same fate as Ke Li!" Ai Wen concluded.

"In this way, the internal traitor in Fellinton is either the old man Huo Er or the cold-faced man Ya Erman~" Hua Zhen scratched his chin, "Ai Wen, which one do you think it would be?"

"Hiss~~ this..." Ai Wen frowned.

"Because the old man Huo Er was the previous Governor, Father, you have always wanted him to fade out of people's sight, and you joined forces with Dai Wei to impose economic sanctions on their district. It is not impossible for him to harbor resentment about this..." Ao Ge said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"As for Ya Erman~ because of the foolish actions of their district's Governor three hundred years ago, they have been criticized by outsiders a lot. It is reasonable for him to want to regain the Angel Civilization's trust by using the news of the ancient ruins. Both of these two are suspected of being the mastermind!"

Ke Li rubbed his aching forehead and said in a cold voice: "Let's do this... You send someone to monitor these two guys. If you find that they have a tendency to contact that Third Prince, take action directly!"

"I understand, Father!"
