Chapter 26: You Don’t Have to Use Trash Talk, but You Must Have It

　　Just as Hamilton and Kolev were preparing to face the Kimo Regiment.

　　In the quiet space of the universe, a silver-white warship nearly a kilometer long sailed across the starry sky. Its drop-shaped shape and smooth curved hull with almost no wrinkles all demonstrated its technological capabilities that were ahead of the average level of the current civilizations in the galaxy.

　　On the sofa in the corner of the bridge, Lina, who had changed into a silver-gray Alliance military uniform, was looking at the screen in front of her, slightly lost in thought.

　　She was thinking about the remote inquiry just now.

　　...

　　”Level 1 Intelligence Agent Lina, we will use the brainwave detection device in the next questioning. Any lie you tell has a 95% chance of being exposed. Please don’t think too much and answer the question. There is no need to use any rhetoric, otherwise it will affect our judgment of you.”

　　”Yes, I will answer all questions faithfully.”

　　”During the riots in Cole Harbor, you took the initiative to find the No. 1 target you set personally, but you were captured by the other party. Is it true?”

　　”yes.”

　　”please explain.”

　　”I misjudged the target’s way of thinking. Because I had shared the same experience with him and provided him with the medicine he needed, I took it for granted that I had gained his trust.”

　　”In other words, this is entirely your mistake.”

　　”yes.”

　　On the screen in front of Lina, the three flashing lights suddenly changed their shapes, and an old woman’s voice sounded:

　　”Did you have close contact with Target No. 1 during the nine months you were lurking on the Kilgrove test ship?”

　　”no.”

　　”Do you have any physical urge towards Target No. 1 now?”

　　”yes.”

　　”degree?”

　　”I will not refuse to have intimate behavior with him that is not limited to kissing.”

　　”Then do we have any reason to suspect that you let go of the precious experimental subject because of your personal relationship?”

　　”I deny it.”

　　”Your mood has slight fluctuations, and the brain wave pattern shows that you are very concerned about this issue.”

　　The female supervisor’s old voice paused and continued:

　　”Lina, you are my student. I believe that you made a choice that was in the interests of the alliance at that time, but when the No. 3 Flanker of the Seventy-second Fleet locked the target airship, you failed to make a decision in time.

　　”Your hesitation is what makes me feel most unprofessional.

　　”Whether you are temporarily letting him go to show your kindness to him, or destroying him immediately to prevent him from falling into the hands of other powerful countries and eliminating the possibility of a technological generation gap, you should not hesitate for up to twenty-five seconds.”

　　”Sir, I hesitate because I know how precious he is.”

　　Lina answered calmly:

　　”The life forms of the ancient gods that have shown traces have left the galaxy. When we can pose a threat to them, we can no longer find their traces.

　　”The ancient god’s life form that was defeated by the Sherman Empire is the last sample.

　　”According to information, in the past hundreds of years, most of the cell clusters have died unnaturally, and the only two clusters of cells that have retained their activity are on that scientific research ship. After Professor Kilgrove took over the scientific research ship, he obtained made significant progress.

　　”The changes in Target No. 1, especially the huge changes in IQ and personality, give me every reason to suspect that he is Kilgrove’s last masterpiece.

　　”Based on that, my hesitation at that time was because I understood the true value of goal number one.”

　　The three lights in the projection screen went silent at the same time.

　　A deep old male voice asked: “Level 1 intelligence agent Lina, if you are allowed to continue this mission, what choice will you make?”

　　Lina immediately said: “The target’s clone army has only two options: [does not exist] and [is in the hands of our country].”

　　”Very well Lina, this is your last chance.”

　　Lina’s glasses reflected a little light, and when her thoughts returned, she was already standing in front of the porthole, looking down at the planets below.

　　Its name was Orheif, a name that seems to have originated from the religious beliefs of the remote place.

　　Lina’s calm voice echoed on the bridge:

　　”Send out a task force. The target we are looking for is Kolev, the former leader of the Black Dragon Pirates. Prepare some currency and try not to use force.”

　　”yes!”

　　...

　　After deciding to negotiate head-on with Kimo, who was chasing him, the atmosphere on Kolev’s pirate ship immediately became somewhat depressing.

　　More than a dozen elderly crew members all put on their brightest and proudest clothes. Two old men with almost all their teeth put on overalls, combed their hair parted in the middle, and held lasers in their hands. gun.

　　Wearing a metal mask and a faded trench coat, Hamilton observed everything and felt a little sad for them.

　　After surviving a vicious pirate career to this age, he should have retired peacefully, but in the end he was kicked out by that Kimo.

　　This fat sheep has no sense of morality at all!

　　Yes, the fat sheep Hamilton is targeting is the current leader of the Black Dragon Pirates, Kimo.

　　”captain!”

　　Grandma the navigator shouted: “They have sent a reply and we can talk!”

　　”This kid is really brave.”

　　Kolev lowered his head and cursed. He was about to press the communication button when he was suddenly attracted by the vibration in his arms.
