In the eyes of the people in the research institute, the only possibility that the Zerg is different is that there are traitors in their own institute.

The researchers in Sanxingdui are ignorant of the world, and even their connections with the Federation tend to be semi-independent—after all, they are a group of lunatics who do scientific research. They don’t care who the Federation is fighting, and they don’t care about the changes in political parties.

Most of this group of people who went all the way to Sanxingdui from the highest institution in the university town often made them too conceited about themselves because of their superior resumes.

In their arrogant judgment, apart from Sanxingdui and the Almi Research Institute, which has a good cooperative relationship with Sanxingdui, there can be no private scientific research group that has the strength to compete with them.

To some extent, their judgment is correct.

But the anomaly of the Zerg finally involved the long-buried social nerves of this group of research madmen, and it took a long time to give a reasonable explanation for this "abnormality": someone leaked black information from Sanxingdui. Information and samples of dead viruses.

The first suspect is Dawn.

Very simple, Dawn fled from Sanxingdui a few months ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown. This kid has been unimpeded by all kinds of secret materials in the research institute, and it is simply too easy to leak the core data of the Black Death virus.

But this speculation was quickly rejected by reason.

Because the first time I saw the mutant zerg was on the night of the attack.

At that time, Dawn had not been received by Sanxingdui.

Only the second object of suspicion remained.

Riley.

The research level of the Black Death Virus is a sub-task under the highest level "Great Return", and there are only a handful of people who know the core data.

Reconnect with Dawn's escape incident: If Dawn's escape and even the "whereabouts unknown" are premeditated, Riley and Jeffrey have been with Dawn the longest, and Jeffrey's identity as an Armie is fundamental. It was impossible to make a betrayal of the order, so all kinds of doubts and speculations undoubtedly fell into Riley's hands.

Combined with the fact that Riley seems to have recently received the latest federal research instructions, the black hole program has been stalled for too long.

As a researcher, she has not been able to make convincing results for a long time.

These three points are not a big problem separately, but they are concentrated in a similar time period, which is enough to kill Riley.

"I understand, so I can understand your doubts about me."

Riley rushed back to Sanxingdui on a private starship. Instead of holding a general meeting, he met privately in the office with the staff who worked at Z4 on the day Dawn fled.

There was a power outage that day, and naturally there was no monitoring in Zone Z.

The Z4 area was the only area where Dawn could escape, but Lee Henry and Brian Ziblett, who were working at the time, had the same confessions and passed the polygraph test—they knew nothing about the escaped people.

They simply dissected the corpse that fell from the pipe, an adult male and a young daughter, and even the brain had been disassembled and put into a jar of nutrient solution.

From the outside, everything seems to be flawless.

Liming and Gongqi fled, but fell into the Z4 area and were poisoned and dissected by two unsuspecting staff members—even the brains of the big and small were scanned by professional equipment, forging almost the same data as the data left before dawn. Exactly the same.

almost.

Although Locke was given enough time to make a seamless copy, he had limited time after receiving the order and could only hand over a roughly the same thing.

Originally, if they could hand over an identical brain, it would dispel the suspicion of Sanxingdui, making them mistakenly believe that Dawn was really dead.

But the imitations that are not refined enough now will only make Sanxingdui conjecture about the success of Liming's escape.

However, due to the failure of monitoring, Sanxingdui had no idea where Liming had escaped, so there was no way to chase him. For Liming, although there was a risk of being chased, it was not a big problem.

The headache is Sanxingdui.

Various researchers began a vigorous self-examination task because of the two imitated brains.

Riley didn't speak up right away.

She is watching.

She's waiting for someone to show up.

Riley sifted through the entire Sanxingdui, and found that every source of news that made people feel terrified came from Zone Z. At first, she thought that the enemy might be coming at her, but later she found that the remarks of the walk were aimed at The objects are not the same, but they all have the same purpose - to disturb the morale of the army.

It doesn't matter who gets rid of the horse, what matters is to interfere with all research progress.

When the video of the Zerg came over, the public opinion exploded and increased by leaps and bounds. When Jeffrey reported the situation to her, she immediately connected to the surveillance of the two Z4 people.

Three days after returning to the institute, Riley held a general public meeting.

Its speed is fast, and preparations are already in place.

"Sanxingdui, it is true that traitors have mixed in."

She squinted her eyes, put her hands in her pockets, her brown hair was spread over her shoulders, and she had an air of impunity.

The people below were stunned.

Riley rarely showed such a "superior" appearance. Most of the time, their impression of her was that she had her hair tied up, protective glasses, and meticulously staying in the laboratory.

It has been such a long time that everyone has forgotten that being able to become the ruler of Sanxingdui is itself a qualified politician.

It's just that she's usually not interested in these things.

Not interested does not mean incapable.

"Brian Zebright."

She called her name, her voice firm: "Tell me, who is behind you?"

***

After Riley left in a hurry, He Xiangbin repeatedly deduced in his mind for a long time, and finally believed that this meeting with the director of Sanxingdui was just a coincidence.

He hesitated for a while after opening the communicator, and then closed the communication page.

From the dialogue, it can be inferred that something important happened in Sanxingdui. He counted the time. He Fangbin was almost certain that it was related to the Zerg.

The news travels so fast...

He looked out of the window with his coffee cup in his hands and thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head, refocusing on the information he was looking for.

The Zerg war record has long been full of dust, and no one has paid attention to it for so many years.

He Xiangbin glanced at ten lines and spent nearly a week in the library. Just when he thought that the inference given by Dawn was wrong, he saw a time node.

Independence Ephemeris Year 272.

The human race and the Zerg race Fernando fought for the fifth time. When the battle was stalemate, the main control ship led the Galaxy Six Team to enter the Zerg center... The whereabouts of the leaders of both sides are unknown... The human race won a great victory.

Sixty years later, Fernando's new queen returns to the universe.

This changed Fernando's way of fighting.

He Xiangbin was keenly aware of this time node, and then quickly called up the database of human generals of all dynasties, and entered the time point of the war. Unfortunately, because of the age, the data of these personnel are not perfect and incomplete. There is no detailed record of the time period when the data restoration was unified into a "war".

Or the records open to the public are not detailed.

He Xiangbin was not discouraged, he judged the approximate time period based on his own impression, and then checked the list line by line.

Until his eyes fell on a familiar name:

Auredo Paul Sutter.

Born from the earth, he was the rank of the United General of the Earth at that time.

This surname was not uncommon in the past, but since the status of the Tower of Babel has become more and more powerful in the universe, in order to show respect for the great sacrifice, and to avoid confusion in the title, Sartre often becomes the high priest. "specially".

He Xiangbin had faintly felt that the Tower of Babel had a shadow that could not be ignored in this series of events. Now the evidence just popped up in front of his eyes. He immediately reacted and instinctively ran to the central system of the library to find it. One of the best-selling books in the universe.

The Holy Codex is the official teaching of the Tower of Babel.

The sound of paper slamming rang in his ears, almost driving He Xiangbin's heartbeat to the same frequency.

Without much effort, He Xiangbin turned to the chapter on the origin of the Holy Knights:

"Those who speak different words must think differently, and those who refuse to be the same will be killed."

He Xiangbin suddenly remembered what Isabella said before her death: "Inheritance is not just a gene, it can even become a choice."

The inheritance of knowledge and ideas goes beyond the existence of genes.

People call it faith.

He Xiangbin closed the "Holy Book" and stared at the white wall in front of him for a long time.

In the first four fights between the Terran and Fernando, they all ended in the fiasco of the humans.

In the fourth expedition, Oredo Paul Sartre was appointed as the main general of the army and suffered a disastrous defeat.

After many years, in the fifth expedition, Sartre led his elites straight into Fernando's base camp, and ushered in the first victory over the Zerg for mankind at the cost of disappearance.

In the Codex, it is said that the Holy Knights appeared to protect the people who lost themselves in the war.

Since it was in the middle of the war, does it have anything to do with the failure of the fourth expedition?

Galaxy Six is ​​a new type of army established by Sartre, completely independent of the military system at that time. When it was established, some people said that he was a warlord, but this suicide attack left Sartre in human history. a good name.

- After all, if you really want to become a warlord of the separatist side, how can you launch such a suicide attack on the elite of the direct line you just cultivated?

No one thinks they survived the war, disappearing simply because the bombs couldn't identify the bodies.

Facts have proved that Auredo Paul Sutter did not appear in people's sight anymore.

But few people associate heroically sacrificed generals with demagogues.

If the identities of the two are the same, could the origin of the Holy Knights be the "missing" Galaxy Six?

"I think we've been making an important cognitive error all along."

Louis stood on the deck of the cruise ship and said to Angel with a serious face.

"All of us think that the Babel Church is the government's lackey, but have you ever thought about it, what if the federation is just a pretext?"
