Chapter 379 The Rat Listens to the Heart, the Dragon Crashes On the Spot
"Let me hear who's lying."
The person outside the door spoke softly.
But as soon as those words were spoken, everyone in the command center paused for a moment.
The six long metal rods behind Shenhou slowly turned towards the door.
Mao Tu's hand was still on the console, the ruling application that was just about to be issued was hanging in mid-air, and the data stream stopped moving.
Chen Yifan lay on the ground, his fingertips digging into the metal floorboards.
coming.
Rat.
SSS-level talent: [Heartfelt Resonance].
Within a radius of ten meters, he can hear a person's thoughts, memories, fears, and secrets.
This ability is more troublesome than having a knife to your throat.
You can dodge a knife.
Thoughts are hard to avoid.
Footsteps approached.
A thin man walked in from outside the door.
He was not tall, wore an oversized gray combat uniform with the cuffs reaching his knuckles, and had a pale, sickly complexion.
But as soon as he entered, the people from the Department of Punishments automatically took a half step back.
The heavily armored guards pressed their gun barrels down even further.
No one reminded me.
No one stopped them.
This is the significance of the Rat in the Sky Headquarters.
Shenhou stared at him.
"You've come at just the right time."
The mouse raised its hand and rubbed its ears.
"You guys are making such a racket, I could hear you all the way from the censorship area."
Shenhou sneered.
"What are you hearing, a sound or a voice?"
"Yes, we have them all."
The rat slowly walked into the command cabin.
He didn't look at the Rabbit or the Monkey; his gaze fell directly on the "Star Official" lying on the ground.
Chen Yifan had already put on his outer layer of thought.
The "Shallow Self-Hypnosis" technique has begun to operate.
Once.
One more time.
The star official is loyal to the Dragon.
The star official was ambushed.
The star officer risked his life to return to headquarters to report the news.
The elected container cannot fall into the Order Council.
Lord Chenlong must not be harmed.
He repeatedly buried these words on the outermost layer.
Further down lies the dark red bloodline of the Lord of Calamity.
The Holy Lord's life essence was kneaded into a polluted shell by him, which then roamed wildly within the wound.
Deeper still, the Purple Gold Pagoda sank to the bottom of the sea of consciousness, not releasing the slightest ripple.
The mouse stopped fifteen meters away.
He didn't come any closer.
Chen Yifan's nerves were on edge even more.
This guy is more cautious than I expected.
The mouse tilted its head.
"Star Lord, you're afraid of me."
Chen Yifan propped himself up on his arms, trying to get up.
The moment he moved, the dark red rotten spots in the wound on his shoulder suddenly spread, and green light exploded out.
The pollution monitor immediately went off.
Pollution levels are rising!
[The target's mental structure is abnormal!]
[Maintain social distancing!]
The Rabbit raised its hand and waved.
A white protective light barrier descended between Chen Yifan and the others.
"Rat, stay away."
The mouse looked down at its feet.
"Fifteen meters, that's far enough."
Shenhou snorted.
"Didn't you claim that there were no secrets within ten meters of you? What, are you scared today?"
The rat was not angry.
"Being able to hear my own heart doesn't mean I want to cramm external gods into my brain."
Upon hearing this, Mao Tu looked at Chen Yifan's status bar.
The dual contamination reaction is still raging.
The bloodline of the Lord of Calamity is simulated as a source of corruption, and the essence of the Holy Lord's life is packaged as parasitic pollution.
The two energies collided, causing the data to become so chaotic that the monitoring system started reporting errors.
Chen Yifan coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his voice hoarse.
"Lord Zishu... I am willing to accept the investigation."
He finished speaking, still clutching the Chenlong token in his hand.
They held on very tightly.
This action wasn't meant for the baby rat to see.
It's for the entire command center to see.
A Chen-level unit that fought its way back, severely injured to the point of near mutation, still instinctively protected the Chenlong Token.
The image of loyalty must not be lost.
The rat stared at him for a few seconds.
"Are you willing?"
"I have no problem."
Chen Yifan took a couple of breaths.
"I fear... the chosen container will fall into the hands of the Council of Order."
The outer layer of thought immediately followed.
The elected container cannot fall into the Order Council.
The route to the Rotten Star Sea has been leaked.
Lord Chenlong must not be harmed.
The star official risked his life to deliver the message.
Zishu gently pressed his brow.
No one was urging them from inside the command center.
The Rabbit is waiting for his judgment.
The Monkey King is also waiting.
Chen Yifan could feel an invisible wave sweeping in from a distance.
Not fierce.
It's not fast either.
It only touched the outer edge.
This is not forced reading.
It is a long-distance capture.
Chen Yifan immediately pressed down his outermost thoughts even more.
Lord Chenlong must not be harmed.
The subordinates failed to complete the task.
The official selection list has been leaked.
Lord Si (巳蛇) has been deposed.
The mechanical throne intervened.
Lord Chenlong must not be harmed.
One layer on top of another.
These are all things that "star officials" should be thinking about.
Chen Xue is not included.
Wang Shufen is not included.
There is no Purple Gold Pagoda.
Nothing is stolen.
There is no real Chen Yifan.
After listening for a moment, the rat suddenly smiled.
"interesting."
Shenhou immediately spoke.
"What did you hear?"
The rat didn't answer immediately.
He turned his head to look at the Rabbit.
"Are you sure he's a traitor?"
The Rabbit didn't accept this challenge.
I want a conclusion.
"in conclusion?"
Zishu pointed at Chen Yifan.
"This doesn't seem like a traitor."
Shenhou pressed for an answer.
"What does that look like?"
The rat spoke softly.
"Like a dog thrown out to take a knife for someone."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several staff officers in the command center changed.
Chen Yifan lowered his head, almost cursing out loud in his heart.
You're the dog.
Your entire review section is full of dogs.
But his outer thoughts remained calm.
The star official is loyal to the Dragon.
The star official risked his life to deliver the message.
The star official is not afraid of death.
These three sentences continue to scroll.
Shenhou was amused.
"Did you hear that, Rabbit?"
"Your men were thrown out by Chenlong to take the blows, and they were almost picked up by the Council of Order."
Rabbit ignored his taunts.
She looked at the baby rat.
"Was there any lying in his testimony?"
The rat remained silent for half a second.
Chen Yifan's fingers tightened.
This second is even more troublesome than when Chenlong attacked from a distance just now.
If the rat takes a bite out of nowhere, he has to flip the table beforehand.
Flipping the table can save you.
But the dome-shaped structure can no longer be used.
The rat finally spoke.
"The surface-level sentiments are consistent with the testimonies."
Chen Yifan hadn't quite gotten over the breath he was holding in.
Zishu added another sentence.
"Deeper areas are blocked by double pollution."
Shenhou squinted.
"Blocked?"
"Forced reading will invite backlash from the Outer Gods."
Zishu looked at Chen Yifan, his tone casual.
"I don't recommend touching him now."
Mao Tu immediately raised his hand and typed two lines of commands on the control panel.
[Adjustment to the Star Official Review Method: Testimony to be remotely sealed.]
[Close contact with the mouse is prohibited.]
Chen Yifan hung his head and continued coughing up blood.
It became.
Zi Shu's words effectively shut down Chen Long's reason for "single-person recommendation".
Because now no one can personally interrogate him.
Even a baby rat can't do it.
Shenhou laughed even louder.
"Chenlong was just in a hurry to get people."
"What do you mean now?"
The Rabbit did not laugh.
She retrieved the projection array base data that had just been archived.
"Rat, there are mechanical fire fluctuations appearing in the Dragon projection channel. What do you think?"
Zishu raised his head and looked at the array base in the center of the command cabin, which had been sealed off by six long metal rods.
That half of the mechanical scale had already been detected by the alarm system.
Data reports popped up page by page.
[Residual mechanical sparks.]
[High-ranking members of the Order Council.]
[Suspected external link pollution.]
The mouse glanced at it.
"This thing shouldn't have appeared out of thin air."
Shenhou immediately responded.
"Nonsense, who doesn't know that?"
The rat ignored him and continued talking.
"Chenlong's causal projection channel is very powerful; ordinary mechanical fire seeds cannot penetrate it."
The rabbit's finger stopped.
"you mean?"
"Unless this passage has been tampered with beforehand."
The Rat looked at the Rabbit.
"Or, his own causal chain has been corrupted, and the mechanical spark can find the entrance by following the point of corruption."
Shenhou clapped his hands on the spot.
"it is good."
Rabbit glanced at him.
Shenhou immediately became more restrained.
"What I mean is, this analysis is valuable."
The staff officers lowered their heads, even suppressing their breathing.
That's too harsh a statement.
Chenlong is the head of the lamp-bearers.
If his causal chain is contaminated, then the highest defense chain of the entire Sky Dome headquarters may be compromised.
The Rabbit did not hesitate.
"Freeze all non-essential permissions for Chenlong."
A staff officer looked up, his voice tense.
"Lord Rabbit, this requires at least two zodiac-level signatures."
Shenhou raised his hand.
Count me in.
The Rabbit pressed down to sign.
The monkey icon is placed in the confirmation field.
[Rabbit permissions confirmed.]
[Shenhou permissions confirmed.]
The temporary freeze order is in effect.
[Chenlong's non-essential scheduling permissions: Frozen.]
[Core defense links: transitioning to multi-authorization mode.]
[Star Harbor, Quarantine Zone, Archives: Entering offline review mode.]
The tense atmosphere in the command center finally changed.
Just now, Chenlong forcibly took over the defense, and everyone was placed under his authority.
Now the Rabbit and the Monkey have joined forces and cut off a piece of his hand.
Shenhou turned around and gave the order.
"The Ministry of Punishments has taken over the escort of the star officials."
The black-armored law enforcement officers outside responded in unison.
"yes!"
Mao Rabbit adds.
"Sent to a Class A isolation room, physically sealed with three layers of barriers, and the testimony was remotely sealed."
She paused, then looked at the rat.
"You are not allowed to enter within ten meters."
The rat shrugged.
"I have no interest in giving my brain to Outer God for a bath."
Chen Yifan held back his laughter.
This rat has a sharp tongue.
Two members of the Penal Department stepped forward, about to lift Chen Yifan up.
Chen Yifan immediately suppressed his physical instincts and made it more difficult for him to stand.
Seriously injured, as if seriously injured.
You can't be fully healed in a second.
A black-armored enforcer grabbed his arm.
"Can you walk?"
Chen Yifan responded in a low voice.
"able."
Shenhou glanced at him.
"Don't die on the road."
Chen Yifan lowered his head.
"I will do my best."
Shenhou was momentarily speechless after hearing that.
"You're quite good at responding."
Chen Yifan remained silent.
Say as little as possible now.
The baby rat was still nearby.
Even if we're fifteen meters apart, we can't afford to be reckless.
The Ministry of Penalties escorted him out.
When passing by the mouse, the distance was kept very tight.
Twelve meters.
Eleven and a half meters.
It didn't go more than ten meters.
Chen Yifan could feel the rat's auditory heart fluctuations sweeping over him again.
This time it's even shorter.
I only touched the edge before backing away.
Chen Yifan's outer thoughts continued to repeat themselves.
The star official is loyal to the Dragon.
The star official risked his life to deliver the message.
Lord Chenlong must not be harmed.
The elected container cannot fall into the Order Council.
The rat did not stop him.
The Rabbit will continue to process the permission freeze.
"Retrieve all recent causal tracing records of Chenlong."
"Focus on investigating Chen Yifan, the Xia family, the Rotten Star Sea, and the official selection list."
"Also, submit the report on the damage to the Snake clone."
Shenhou snorted coldly.
"That snake (巳蛇) will definitely play dead."
The rabbit didn't even raise its head.
"Then drag him out of the snake hole."
Shenhou laughed.
"I love hearing this."
As Chen Yifan was led to the door, he quickly made a mental calculation.
Grade A isolation room.
The Ministry of Penalties took over.
The Rat cannot be personally interrogated for the time being.
Chenlong's permissions have been frozen.
The situation has stabilized for now.
But the stability is only temporary.
The dragon's true form is still at the core of the celestial dome.
The snake in the Si position was merely a clone that was rendered useless.
There's also the main character who hasn't shown up yet.
Not to mention that Rabbit and Monkey are just using him to make trouble for Dragon. If they really find out that the "Star Official" is not right, these two will also take action.
We need to get more intelligence in the isolation room.
Ideally, we should find a route to the core area of the celestial dome.
There is also the complete document listing Chen Xue as an "alternative option".
Thinking of this, Chen Yifan's outer thoughts almost paused for a moment.
He immediately pushed the two characters "Chen Xue" back to the bottom.
The rat hasn't gone far yet.
We must not act rashly.
Behind them, the rat suddenly spoke.
"Wait a moment."
The escorting members of the Department of Penitentiary Affairs stopped.
Chen Yifan had his back to him, his back taut, but he still looked like he was seriously injured and exhausted.
Shenhou frowned.
"What did you hear now?"
The Rat did not answer the Monkey.
He took two slow steps and stopped at a safe distance.
"Star Official".
Chen Yifan turned half of his body around.
"Lord Zishu."
Zishu looked at him, his tone light and casual.
"For a moment just now, your heart skipped a beat."
Chen Yifan coughed, and blood seeped from between his fingers.
"My subordinate is too badly injured."
"Yeah?"
The rat stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.
"That's true, it's normal for a person who's about to die to have a erratic heartbeat."
The Rabbit spoke, urging them on.
"Send them away."
The Department of Penalties continued to escort Chen Yifan out.
The rat did not stop them.
As soon as Chen Yifan stepped out of the command cabin, he heard Zishu's voice behind him.
This time it was very light.
It was so quiet that only he and a few people nearby could hear it.
"Star Lord, once you survive tonight, I want to hear your heartbeat alone."
