704. Assassination of Tarkin (Part 1)

Lugus took Speeder to the entrance of the Eriadu administrative center and accepted daily inspections from Guardian. When Guardian took his personal terminal and started scanning, his heart beat violently and his breathing became heavy.

The memory Tosh gave him was stuck in the middle of the personal terminal. It was impossible to tell at first glance. Even if it was scanned, Guardian would think it was just one of the parts of the personal terminal, unless this Guardian was a professional.

"This terminal of yours..." Guardian suddenly picked up his personal terminal and said with a serious expression.

"I... this..." Lugus thought that he had been exposed, and suddenly became nervous and stiff. He looked at the terminal and didn't know what to say.

Who knew that Guardian just pointed at a large group of stains on the personal terminal and said, "You'd better clean this thing up, otherwise you will be found out by the health inspector and your credit points will be deducted. You know, our governor pays most attention to these things. Also, drink less alcohol during working hours."

"Oh, ah... yes! Yes! I'll take care of it right away!" Lugus was relieved, quickly wiped the stain with his hand, and walked in with his personal terminal in his arms.

After a while, two Jedi Knight wearing brown coarse robes came over, looked at the guard, and asked, "Is there anything unusual here?"

Guardian quickly stood at attention, saluted, and replied, "There is nothing unusual, General!"

The two Jedi Knight looked at each other, a little confused, "No? Didn't Master Ovarle say that he felt some dangerous aura in this direction?"

One of them, Jedi Knight, then asked, "Remember carefully, was there anything worthy of attention among the people who entered in the past 20 minutes or so?"

Guardian looked at each other, tried to remember for a while, and said, "It's true, everyone is working normally... If I must say it, 4 or 5 of the people who passed by today had some alcohol. In this time of war, everyone is very nervous."

Another Jedi Knight said, "Well, keep an eye on these drinking people and don't let them delay things."

"Yes!"

"Let's go, Armando. Maybe Master Ovarle feels that these drinking people will cause work accidents?" said Jedi Knight.

Lugus came to his work station and began to perform routine inspections on the host. He took advantage of the situation and inserted the small memory device Tosh gave him into the host. He looked at the progress bar that started to jump and calculated that the reading should end in about 5 minutes, so he began to pretend to perform maintenance around it.

When the progress bar reached about 70%, several soldiers suddenly came over. The leader said, "I have been paying attention to you since just now. Why are you repeatedly dismantling and reinstalling these things? What are you doing after reinstalling them?"

Lugus hurriedly tore off the memory and threw it into his toolbox. He turned back to the captain and said, "Uh, I'm sorry. I tried a few times just now, but I couldn't put things in place."

The captain snorted coldly, "It seems that General Armando is right. Some of you drinking guys must be causing trouble! Take him away!"

After saying that, several soldiers came up and dragged Lugus up and walked out. In the chaos, someone didn't know who kicked the tool box over, and the parts inside were scattered on the floor.

No one saw it, and the memory suddenly transformed into a small mechanical spider and crawled away quickly.

After a long time, Lugus ended the inquiry and came back to pack his things dejectedly. He organized his toolbox and suddenly found that the memory was missing! Suddenly it was like a bucket of ice water being poured from head to toe.

It was lost!

No matter who picks this thing up, it will be a disaster for him! And even if it is just lost, the progress bar was only 70% just now. If the task cannot be completed, then the terrible invisible man will...

Lugus was about to collapse, but he didn't dare to show it yet. He just collapsed on the ground, motionless.

At the same time, in that inconspicuous apartment, Super Lotus was typing on the keyboard, and then said, "Okay, big black guy, now we are part of the communication system of this administrative center. We don't know when we will be discovered, so you'd better hurry up."

"The progress is only 70%, not completed." Tosh said with a frown.

"Actually, it's completed at 35%, and the remaining progress bar is just for delaying time. You know, this is the only way to ensure that the coward can persist for a while longer." Super Lotus spread his hands and said, "And you see, he really didn't persist to the end."

"Very good." Tosh entered the invisible state again, and a pair of red eyes flashed past in the void.

"You have to know that after you enter the administrative center, I can't contact you. The little robot with a deformed memory is your virtual communication node. So once it is tracked, the other party will definitely find the little robot first. As long as the little robot is destroyed, it means that they will come to you soon." Super Lotus said, "I will try to play hide and seek with them for a while."

Tosh, who was in the invisible state, finally caught the short 20 seconds when Guardian changed his shift and entered the administrative center according to the communication channel inside the administrative center.

Tosh uses his Psionics to the extreme, sensing the thoughts of everyone around him, so he can understand where their focus is, and then quietly move forward from the blind spot.

At the same time, he was also constantly paying attention to the internal communication channel, which allowed him to understand the deployment direction of the Guardian troops, as well as the coverage area of the detector and the scanning interval.

He walked silently, and Guardian, who was standing at the door in front of him, was looking at the chest of the girl at the front desk. Tosh took advantage of the girl at the front desk to bend down and pour water at the right angle, and walked directly in front of this Guardian.

The distortion of the air that passed by made Guardian rub his eyes, and then he looked even more engrossed.

Soon, one of the messages in the communicator caught Tosh's attention - 'The best fruits and drinks will be prepared in the east conference room on the 4th floor in 5 minutes. Staff Department personnel please arrive in advance. '

A sneer appeared at the corner of Tosh's mouth, and he began to sneak towards the fifth floor, and then hid across a corridor. From here, he could overlook the entrance to the conference room on the fourth floor. Although there was only a small shooting angle, it was enough for him.

He set up his customized AGR-28 sniper rifle and aimed it in the direction of the door of the conference room.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, only more than a dozen people in military uniforms were seen walking over, and the leader was Wilhuff-Tarkin!

Tosh put his finger on the trigger slightly and was about to shoot...

Suddenly, he felt something wasn't right!

At the same time, the connection between him and the little robot was severed!
