The Shadow's Intelligence
"Is this Thousand King?" Just as Old Wang was looking at the sealed-off Central Star Night Wharf, a man came to Old Wang side and spoke to Old Wang in a voice only he could hear.
Just as Old Wang was about to turn around, the man continued, "Thousand King, don't turn around. This isn't the place to talk. Please come with me!"
Old Wang's gaze sharpened upon hearing this. Although he found the man's identity somewhat strange, he still followed him.
The person addressed him as "sir," and considering the situation on the Central Star, he is most likely an NPC.
An NPC approached Old Wang, and Old Wang became very interested in his identity.
He followed the man around and around until they soon entered a private room in a restaurant called Black Pearl.
Old Wang only realized after entering the private room that it was a black man.
"Hello, Thousand King. My code name is Shadow, and I am currently the head of the Central Star Domain of the Dark Night Organization!" the black man said directly after gesturing for Old Wang to sit down.
"Shadow?"
The name reminded Old Wang of his opponents in the squad battle, and looking at this black guy, he was unsure whether he should make fun of his name.
"Yes, Shadow! I often hear Xiao Yuan mention you. He says you are our most honored guest in Dark Night!" Shadow said.
"Um... Mr. Shadow, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here today?" Old Wang.
"Here's the thing, we know you're investigating General Huang, and I have some intelligence for you!" Shadow said.
"Give me information? Why?" After hearing Shadow's words, Old Wang didn't ask him for information, but instead inquired about the reason.
This person's appearance is very strange. The situation in the Alliance is becoming increasingly chaotic, and Old Wang has to be wary of them setting him up.
Sigh~
That's right, I wasn't originally from the Central Star Domain, but from the Dark Domain Headquarters.
You are probably aware of what happened to our Dark Domain some time ago. Because of our investigation into the issue entrusted by General Huang, we offended some people.
These people are relentlessly targeting our Dark Domain, especially putting immense pressure on the Central Star Domain. Therefore, headquarters sent me to resolve the issues in the Central Star Domain.
But I was too late. By the time I arrived in the Central Star Domain, my colleagues at Night Wharf had already been sent to Heavenly Prison Star.
"Didn't Heavenly Prison Star stop accepting prisoners after Black Shark's escape?" Old Wang asked.
"That's what I'm going to say next!"
"Okay, please continue!" Old Wang.
Shadow: "Okay, because the Dark Night's overt forces are being targeted so aggressively, we've gone underground and are continuing our investigation into General Huang's commission."
This is no longer about the commission; it's about my brothers.
Because we had moved to a secluded location, we quickly made a discovery: General Huang had entrusted us with investigating the murder of his granddaughter, and it turned out to be related to the Alliance Science Research Institute.
Even the people targeting us were their people, we discovered through further investigation.
All of this is related to one person: the head of scientific research, Jiang Ford of the Alliance!
"You killed Jiang Ford General Huang because of you?" Old Wang.
"No, we didn't even have time to tell him before he betrayed the Alliance," Shadow immediately waved his hand and said.
"How did he find out? And that doesn't make sense! Why would Jiang Ford target Huang Rui? Even at the cost of offending you and General Huang!" Old Wang said, somewhat puzzled and suspicious.
"If you had asked me this question a while ago, I would have regretfully told you that I didn't know."
But those people underestimated us, Dark Night. A few days ago, our people risked their lives to send back a message.
That was a secret human experiment conducted on Jiang Ford and others on Heavenly Prison Star, seemingly an experiment to forcibly transfer innate abilities!
Talent is Special Ability that some people are born with. 80% of those with this ability can break through to the Legendary, while the remaining 20% fail to break through because they die young.
In other words, some people who are stuck before the Legendary can break through the Legendary if they acquire the talent or ability of others.
Meanwhile, our investigation Jiang Ford's lifespan is nearing its end, but if he breaks through to the Legendary, he can live for several hundred more years.
"And General Huang's granddaughter possesses the spiritual talent he so desperately needs; the reason for all this is self-evident," Shadow said coldly.
His words sent chills down Old Wang's spine. Had the Alliance Leadership really rotted to this extent?
Human experimentation, framing, and even sacrificing the granddaughter of a general who dedicated his life to the Alliance in order to prolong his own life.
All of this is shattering Old Wang's worldview. Is there any hope left for these people?
Of course, this is all on the premise that what the shadow said is true. However, Old Wang felt that the chances of what he said being false were very small, because many of the things he said matched what Old Wang knew.
"Does Xun Min know about these things?" Old Wang asked, this was his biggest concern, because Xun Min was the one he had saved.
"Xun Min is their protector; they couldn't possibly not know!" Shadow exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang slammed his fist into the table in front of him; this was the last thing he wanted to hear.
If this is true, Old Wang swears he will personally resolve this problem.
"What brings you here today?" Old Wang asked, turning his head.
"We've come to you because we want you to help our people on Heavenly Prison Star," said Shadow.
"How can I help?" Old Wang asked. Anyway, he still had to go to Heavenly Prison Star, firstly to complete a mission, and secondly to verify what he said, that he could continue the mission.
"All you need to do is give this to someone named Yue. The code is..."
"Good!"
Then Old Wang asked him a lot of questions he was interested in, such as where Huang Rui was now and what kind of person Xun Min was.
Considering how much information they had given Old Wang decided that if what they said was true, he would help them out.
Then Old Wang left the restaurant with the things Shadow had given him, and none of them offered to invite Old Wang to stay for a meal.
They have absolutely no sense of propriety!
He doesn't even look at how much intelligence he's gotten from the Dark Night for free, yet he's still not satisfied.
After Old Wang left, Shadow's subordinate asked, "Sir, is he capable?"
"I don't know, but he's our only hope. After we rescue Yue, we'll retreat entirely back into the Dark Domain."
This power struggle within the Alliance will undoubtedly be the most brutal in human history.
The Human Alliance has been living in comfort for too long; even the Insectoid can't put much pressure on them anymore...
After leaving Dark Night, Old Wang wandered around Central Star for a while before logging off and then went to the Future Club's conference room.
Lin Qimeng and the others are currently here studying ways to deal with the Martial Alliance. This time, they are determined to wipe out the Martial Alliance in one fell swoop, and they have even set their sights on the enemy's Interstellar Battleship.
Old Wang didn't say a word throughout the game, but he thought to himself, "Thank goodness these people are my teammates."
~~~
The second day, there are no Future matches today; today's matches are still the top five qualifying rounds.
Old Wang and Lin Qimeng struggled to get out of bed; the nights of revelry had left even their superhuman bodies somewhat exhausted.
Not long after he logged on, a group of people arrived at the Future Headquarters and had someone from the Future contact Old Wang.
"The military wants me to help them with a mission?"
Where is the mission location?
Heavenly Prison Star?!
I'll be right back!
"What's going on? Why are all the missions concentrated here?" Old Wang said as he returned to the Future base and met with the military personnel.
Leng Feng explained the whole story to him: now everyone in the military has joined the Conservative Faction Zhang Ping's faction.
The military leaders' ambitions are quite different from theirs; they actually want to get involved in the Alliance's power struggles.
They came to Old Wang to ask Old Wang to help them collect evidence of Xun Min experimentation on Heavenly Prison Star.
They needed this to bring Xun Min, who was still attached to that location, down and completely extinguish his desire for it.
"You also know about their human experiments on Heavenly Prison Star?" Old Wang.
"We just found out too, it seems you already knew," Leng Feng.
"Yes! I just found out too, and it completely shattered my worldview!"
"The darkness at the top is more terrifying than some people imagine, especially their unchecked system!"
"We will rebuild humanity's institutions; that's our goal. Do you want to join us?" Leng Feng asked Old Wang.
"No, this kind of career isn't for me. I can't handle that kind of suffering!" Old Wang.
"That's such a pity!"
