Under the gaze of the four priests, Umils' angry and gloomy eyes fell on the bloodstained chief engineer, and his voice suddenly rose:
"But as a believer, when he discovered the remains of the great priest, he also discovered that it contained the energy inheritance of the great priest. He had thoughts that he shouldn't have and chose to betray."
"He hid it from us, didn't make it public, and didn't let us have the chance to avenge the high priest."
"He even cut off contact with the outside world and led his trusted subordinates to conduct secret research in the underground laboratory in an attempt to take away the power of the great priest through their experiments."
"Who would have thought that as the chief engineer of the fleet, he would build a laboratory without our knowledge."
"That's a very deep underground base. It was originally an abandoned maintenance room. It's a place we wouldn't notice at all."
"But there, right under our noses, Orsay and his dirty minions have been studying it for years and years."
As he spoke, Umils suddenly closed his eyes and bowed with a sad expression.
"There was a dereliction of duty on my part. I had too much trust in him before, which led to all this."
"After all, the entire base was built under his leadership, so I never asked about the unimportant parts of the underground base to allow him to take advantage of it."
"If our base hadn't been attacked before, I wouldn't have known that there was such a heinous laboratory underground."
"But since someone mentioned it, why not let our chief engineer explain what is going on?"
After saying this, Umils yanked forward with his right hand, pulling the chief engineer who had a lot of air out but little air in front of him.
Then, with a heavy lift, the iron chain rattled, pressing the latter directly against the fence in front of him, making him face all the clan members in the temple.
"Ahem..."
After being pulled hard by Umils, the already weak chief engineer coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he did not have the strength to look at Umils behind him, but stared blankly at the tribesmen below.
One face after another, full of disbelief and angry faces.
The chief engineer slowly raised his eyes and saw the scrutinizing gazes of the priests beside him.
But he slowly lowered his head, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
On the high platform, Tang Jiumin saw the reluctance in the chief engineer's eyes, and also saw the slight tremble on his lips.
It was obvious that he didn't want to say anything, all of this was forced.
But his reaction made Tang Jiumin feel a strong sense of uneasiness.
"Yes...that's right"
The chief engineer spoke in his extremely hoarse voice:
"I did all this. Facing the power of the high priest, greed took over my soul. I betrayed my faith and tried to seize the power of the high priest for myself."
"The captain is right. I did all this. I asked my subordinates to plan this secret experiment."
Sure enough, completely opposite to the unwillingness in the chief engineer's eyes, he immediately admitted his crime and admitted that he was the one conducting the secret experiment on the crystal.
And Tang Jiumin also saw that after the other party spoke, his unwillingness became lighter and lighter with each sentence, turning into a bleak one.
"...After the laboratory was attacked, this matter could no longer be concealed. The captain discovered it. I had no way to hide it. The crime was confirmed."
"I plead guilty..."
"I betrayed my faith, betrayed the captain's trust, betrayed everyone, and even personally made everyone lose hope of leaving this planet, causing my tribe to sacrifice as a result."
"This is all my fault..."
The chief engineer fully admitted his crime in front of all the clan members, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards the high platform.
Tang Jiumin met the other party's eyes.
Orsay, the chief engineer of the fleet suddenly shook his head, with a sad smile on his face.
Tang Jiumin was startled, and he understood that this was not a meaningless move, it should be something he wanted to express.
But then, he saw the other party jump out of the fence, head downwards, and fall straight down.
At the same time, Umils, as if he had not expected it, stood there in a daze, and the chain in his hand fell and slid easily with the chief engineer.
As a result, no one can save the chief engineer, it happened too suddenly.
There was a muffled sound.
A full height of eleven or twelve meters.
The chief engineer, who was already half-dead, died on the spot with a bloody head. The drama of pleading guilty and committing crimes has officially come to an end.
——It’s over, this farce caused by humans.
——It’s over, this internal joke among the gods.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin and Wu Miers' minds were synchronized, and similar thoughts emerged.
Tang Jiumin frowned deeply, feeling extremely surprised. He really didn't expect it.
The other party had already prepared a back-up move, which he understood, but he did not expect that the other party's back-up move was so fully prepared.
A scapegoat who has a legitimate identity, a motive, and a willing scapegoat who doesn't react negatively when speaking.
Now it's better, the scapegoat is dead, he confessed his crime and died. All the sins have nothing to do with Umils. The other party has changed from a sinner to a hero who found the culprit.
Indeed, just when Tang Jiumin was thinking this, Umils' pitiful voice sounded again.
"It seems that Osai has realized the seriousness of his sins. It's a pity. I wanted to give him a hand and ask him to explain everything clearly, but I didn't expect..."
"He actually chose to commit suicide to escape from all this."
"It seems that he is still stubborn and has not thought about reversing everything."
Well done, my captain.
Tang Jiumin raised his head and met the other person's eyes.
Equally meaningful.
Unfortunately, Wu Miers did not respond to Tang Jiumin's gaze, but looked to the side.
"I'm sorry, four priests, that something like this happened to the fleet. I didn't discover it immediately, nor did I inform you all immediately. This is my dereliction of duty."
"But please, all priests, understand my difficulties. After all, the fleet is in a state of emergency, with internal and external troubles. I really don't have many ways to deal with all this in a timely manner."
Unfortunately, unlike Tang Jiumin's perspective, the four priests could not see the unwilling look on the chief engineer's face before committing suicide.
They only saw a series of reactions in which the chief engineer committed suicide out of fear of crime, so they all nodded and accepted the explanation given by Umils.
"I see……"
"It's so disappointing..."
After seeing the expressions of understanding on the four priests' faces, Umils finally turned his attention to Tang Jiumin.
There was a hint of complexity on his face.
"Human, you are indeed brave."
"As you said, the authority you want to challenge is indeed an existence worth challenging, but you may be looking for the wrong target."
"This corpse on the ground, the chief engineer of our fleet, is the one you should question and challenge."
"He betrayed and mutilated the faith, not me, because I was loyal to the faith and ran around for the remains of the great priest."
Speaking of this, Umils's expression changed, and his face became righteous.
"As the captain of the entire fleet, as the guardian of the faith, I express my gratitude to you."
"Thank you very much for all your efforts for the High Priest, and thank you for taking the risk to bring the High Priest's remains back. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to let this traitor commit suicide out of fear of crime."
Tang Jiumin's eyes darkened slightly.
In the eyes of the Ser Protoss, Umils was an upright and kind person, but in his eyes, he looked like a hypocrite.
The other person is showing off to him because he failed to expose the other person. As expected, the captain's counterattack was about to begin.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin quietly withdrew one hand and placed it on his body.
"But the farce ends here." Sure enough, after saying a lot of foreshadowing, Umils suddenly raised his voice.
"Human boy, you are still too young after all. You have no one to challenge. And you have completed your request through the ceremony. Congratulations."
"One thing comes back to another."
There was a hint of vague pride in Umils's eyes, and he raised his hand and pointed at Tang Jiumin.
"Anyway, our base is in a state of emergency now. The group of robots transformed from humans outside are watching eagerly. I can't be careless."
"You will be captured. We will not execute you, but you must be locked up in the base and accepted by us. All for the safety of the entire fleet."
"Priests, consider the overall situation, what do you think?"
The four priests nodded solemnly.
"Thank you priests for your understanding. I really shouldn't hide more things. This is my responsibility. I will deal with it after this..."
The atmosphere in the entire temple suddenly changed. The divine warriors below looked at Tang Jiumin on the high platform. They no longer had the burning anger before and no longer responded with hostility.
After all, this human brought information that would shock the entire Ser Protoss, causing their anger to be transferred to the dead chief engineer and even the parliament, and also strengthening their faith.
However, this atmosphere that was no longer tense made Tang Jiumin feel a little bit chilly.
In this confrontation, he did not take any advantage and was even forced into a very embarrassing situation.
The captain above had prepared more than he expected.
In fact, it was not that Tang Jiumin was careless. After all, in such a situation as the Protoss base, the captain could still find a perfect scapegoat. He really had a good trick.
Misfortunes never come singly.
At this moment, the lowest volume sound came from the intercom on the combat uniform.
A cry for help from Liu Ziyun.
"Hey, hey, Tang Jiumin, can you hear me? You haven't finished yet? It's been delayed for too long. I can't hold on any longer!"
At the same time, it was located near the entrance of the hangar on the second underground floor of the Protoss base.
Liu Ziyun was leaning on the side of the gate, grabbing a monster's head and slamming it against the metal wall. The high-intensity consumption caused a waterfall of hot sweat to flow from his forehead.
A few minutes ago, after completing Tang Jiumin's request, Liu Ziyun patrolled the first and second floors underground to prevent any unexpected events.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that he actually encountered a group of monsters here.
They are slightly taller than humans, about 1.9 meters tall, and have the same limbs as humans.
However, even though they were naked, these monsters were inlaid with fist-sized energy crystals.
These monsters have white skin all over their bodies, and the flesh inlaid with crystals is constantly bleeding. They clearly have a humanoid body shape, but they stand on all fours like wild beasts.
After encountering the first monster he met, the monster was the first to let out a violent and cruel roar and rush towards him.
Fortunately, these monsters were not very strong. Liu Ziyun activated the werewolf transformation in time and killed them with his giant claws in a few strokes.
But he also discovered that this monster's powerful physical strength was not weaker than the warriors of the Cyr Protoss.
However, compared with the warriors of the gods, although this monster is physically powerful, it does not have the energy blessing of the gods, cannot use a lightsaber, and has no fighting skills.
It's easier to deal with.
But just after he killed one, more monsters appeared. They came in twos and threes, smelling blood, and rushed toward Liu Ziyun one by one.
This is troublesome. Although this kind of monster is not as strong as those divine warriors, they are not one or two, but a group.
Facing the attack of this group of monsters, Liu Ziyun retreated to a gate and relied on the narrow gate to defend.
Under the wolf's claws, several monsters were killed, but he also fought for a long time. At this time, his physical fitness dropped sharply and he could no longer hold on.
Seeing the monster pinned to the wall struggling, Liu Ziyun had no choice but to ask Tang Jiumin when it would be done.
On the other side of the church, Tang Jiumin was originally looking at the second floor, watching Wu Miers' wonderful performance. When he heard Liu Ziyun's call, he immediately pressed the team communication button.
In front of many Ser protoss, Tang Jiumin seemed to have lost the courage to look at each other, and slowly lowered his head.
He opened his mouth slightly, almost ventriloquising, avoiding the surrounding visitors.
"Liu Da Bodhisattva, what's wrong?"
"Tang Jiumin, what's wrong with this God Clan base? A group of monsters emerged from the depths of the base. I can't hold it anymore! Are you done over there?"
"Monster? Deep inside the base? It seems to be the backhand of that old bastard." When he heard what was happening below, Tang Jiumin frowned tightly, but his tone was full of playfulness.
"Liu Bodhisattva, judging from the sound of your voice, you should still be very strong. Come on and hold on."
"Because my side is in bigger trouble..."
After saying that, Tang Jiumin immediately closed the team call, took out a long breath, and emptied his head.
On the trial bench, the captain had slowly turned around and was about to leave.
Probably because he felt that the matter had been settled, and Tang Jiumin, a human being, could not make any bigger waves.
The surrounding protoss warriors began to approach the high platform. Their eyes no longer looked at Tang Jiu Min with strong murderous intent, but they did not tolerate any criticism.
After all, to them, this is a human being, especially when there are still mechanical legions modified by humans outside.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin on the high platform completed his adjustments.
When he looked up again, a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his face was a little abnormally rosy, which seemed to be caused by excessive stress.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Jiumin suddenly shouted: "Mr. Captain, our matter is not over yet."
