Horsehead Nebula, Anadis Galaxy, Kronos Space Station, Cerberus Organization Headquarters. www..com
Anadius is a star that is gradually cooling and dying - the burned-out star rapidly expands outward, expanding its diameter to one-half the size of the entire galaxy, and evolves into the huge MIA-type red giant Anadius. In the process of expansion, the red giant Anadis swallowed up all its children, no matter how big or small - everything in the galaxy, whether planets, meteorites, dust or comets, were all captured and swallowed, and became the glowing red giant. of fuel.
Today's red giant Anadis is about 20 times more massive than the Sun, but its radius is 1,500 times that of the Sun!
In the remaining "short" tens of millions of years, in this final glory, the red giant star will become brighter, emitting infinite light and radiation wantonly, but the surface temperature will rapidly cool down.
Kronos, an unrecorded and unspectacular space station, floats in the glow of a red giant star. The periodic outbursts of red giant stars cover up all information on the space station.
An empty and transparent hall, the glass floor reflects the dim light like water.
There is a chair in the middle of the hall. Around the chair, various holographic images and charts are constantly being projected, reflecting various real-time changes from the entire galaxy. A dozen steps forward from the chair, you can see the outline of the entire outside of the space station - like a large floor-to-ceiling window without a window frame.
That is the completely transparent shell of the space station...through it, you can just admire the huge, dying red giant star, floating in front of the viewer's eyes. In other words, the space station is floating in the shadow of the red giant star - when there is no lighting in the hall, only the faint flash of the holographic image - the red giant star's cracked surface is like a dry riverbed, and it will eject thousands of kilometers from time to time. orange flames. Light up the entire hall.
A handsome middle-aged man was sitting on that unique chair.
He wore a smart giulivorn light linen blend suit, with the collar of his shirt slightly open. Exposing some chest skin. From there, you can even see some healed scars. He turned sideways on the red giant star. Sitting in front of the "window" with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette and a half-square glass of wine in his hand.
The shining brilliance of the red giant star occasionally illuminated his short silver-gray hair. When the light of the red giant star dims, the gazer will notice the burning cigarette butt between his fingers and a pair of synthetic eyes shining with light blue light.
Jack Harper, leader of the human supremacist organization Cerberus. However, no one knows this name anymore, and now everyone calls him "illusiveman" - the phantom man.

"Buzz~" followed by a slight sound of electricity. A few communication requests flashed in front of the Illusive Man, and then a circle of light was drawn on the water-like surface, and then stretched upward into a mesh-like cylindrical holographic image - about a few seconds later, hundreds of thousands of light-years away The holographic image appeared in front of him.
"Mu Xing?..." It was unexpected and reasonable, after seeing the person standing in front of him. Although the Illusive Man was a little surprised, he didn't know what exactly went wrong with this operation on Earth. But he still sat upright in the chair, waving the cigarette with his fingers, and said the name softly.
"Then what should I call you? The mastermind? Or...the Illusive Man?" On the other side of the world. Mu Xing stood in a circle on the floor of the communication room. The holographic image passed through the back door opened by Cerberus on the buoy network and was sent to the other end hundreds of thousands of light years away with a delay of several milliseconds.
"By the way, I have taken care of all your minions!" The heroic combination of Mu Xing and Mu Xing casually dropped the alloy pipe they were holding, and the alloy pipe clattered to the floor. This scene passed to the other end of the network.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this Evening Star that even if the Illusive Man sees her holographic image, he still cannot confirm it at that moment. Although Cerberus' communication equipment can only transmit images of people standing in the circle to the Illusive Man. But Mu Xing believed that after hearing her reminder, the Illusive Man must have another way to see behind her. Cerberus's armed men have lined the corridors...
"I will contact the Star Alliance Navy in half an hour, you know what I mean." Mu Xing imitated Mu Xing. Announced very forcefully.
"Thank you for the reminder." The Illusive Man nodded, not seeing what he did. But Mu Xing was convinced that he had activated the mop-up operation.
All of this is within Lu Yuan's plan. His meaning is very clear. Cerberus is still a force that can be cooperated and cannot be hit too hard. Lu Yuan will take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate Cerberus' forces from the navy! Thereby reducing the penetration of Cerberus into military power. (It is impossible to clear out the parliament. The Earth Party is the main party supporting Cerberus. It is an important force in the parliament and is completely legal.
All Cerberus members, sympathizers, bribed persons and peripheral personnel involved in this military operation have been located by the information bombs planted in the network by Mu Xing! If they fall into the hands of the navy, their fate will be much worse than that of simple armed personnel like Wang Yanli!
But since Lu Yuan left Cerberus half an hour to retreat, he expressed his intention to kill them all - they may have been charged with various crimes and lost a lot of political power because of their hasty retreat. resource. But at least, I and my family’s lives are safe…
Both men fell silent.
About a few minutes later, in Mu Xing's sight, the holographic image of the Illusive Man shook and became "alive" again. Even the length of the cigarette he held changed magically - and sure enough, just now, During that period, the Illusive Man should actually have left his seat to arrange the evacuation operation. The phantom man that Mu Xing saw who had been smoking silently was just a holographic "video".
"Mu Xing, we should talk." The Illusive Man returned to his seat and accused bluntly and even slightly offensively, "Your actions are too risky! Blindly believing in your own power is completely putting yourself in danger! Because you can't guarantee that when you attack those armed men, they really won't shoot... Even I can't guarantee that they will obey my orders 100% under any circumstances! What's more! It's you!
Evening Star. Human nature is always complicated, and loyalty bought with money is even less worth mentioning, so I am very concerned about your childish behavior this time. Strongly disagree...
And you should understand that Cerberus never meant to harm you! You are so reckless. It's entirely because you don't know your own value at all! You are more important than these people..." He waved his hand, and the current situation of the base appeared behind him, that is, images of those unconscious armed personnel. "You are more important than me, and more important than the entire Cerberus! (Cerberus is still in its infancy at this moment."
The phantom man took a puff of cigarette, and the light lit up, showing his face in front of Mu Xing. The Illusive Man's facial lines are too hard, coupled with his slightly weird pair of blue synthetic eyes, his appearance is not very friendly. But in the words he spoke. Has strong persuasive power.
"But everything Cerberus has done makes it impossible for me to trust you anymore." Mu Xing argued. Not continuing to cooperate with Cerberus was not only due to Lu Yuan's plan, but also Mu Xing's decision. Lu Yuan just followed the trend - Mu Xing is not a reincarnation with no bottom line like Annie and Ding Mumu. She has They have very different values from Mu Xing and Lu Yuan, and they are even more stubborn on certain things.
"We just want to protect you from harm and provide you with a truly safe research environment. Just like you and Miranda requested, we have also prepared a space station for you, the Lazarus Institute... a deep space Space station. A space station more advanced than Gagarin.
...Mu Xing, do you think those politicians are more trustworthy than Cerberus? "The Illusive Man shook his head. He flicked his fingers in front of him. As his fingers clicked, holographic light spots first appeared, and then stretched into countless messages. "You should understand that Cerberus wants you to just be yourself. Those that you are good at and don’t waste energy on other areas.
But what you don’t know is how much Cerberus paid to protect your safety..."
"In the conspiracy intercepted and blocked by Cerberus, you were involved in various political transactions a total of one hundred and seventy-five times." The Illusive Man said slowly, his hands constantly showing various evidences. The Illusive Man knew that Mu Xing would be able to keep up with his speed - within this galaxy. No one can underestimate Mu Xing's intelligence. "At least one-third of the members of the parliament have tried to turn you into his political bargaining chip.
Even the Navy... doesn't seem that trustworthy. At least during the preparation of the 'Gagarin' space station, Cerberus has confirmed that there are four different forces infiltrating - their personnel will surround you - almost everyone you see and contact every day They all have ulterior motives, and you can’t be sure who you can really trust! At that time, you will be in complete loneliness and lose all your freedom..."
"I...I still have Ayuan!" Hearing this, Mu Xing felt cold all over! Great fear suddenly arose in her heart, and she even wanted to just turn around and escape back to the Dawn!
Evening Star in her heart sighed slightly, she had known this would be the case. Whether it is Lu Yuan or Mu Xing, their rich life experiences have given them a full understanding of the darkness of the world! Only Mu Xing, who has been engaged in scientific research since childhood and has always lived in the laboratory, as simple as a blank sheet of paper, would be frightened by these suddenly revealed truths.
Although Evening Star's memory brings countless experiences, "knowing" does not mean being able to "understand".
What's more, Mu Xing has always been resistant to these darknesses, even for Lu Yuan's plans. Although Mu Xing is a genius in scientific research, in other aspects, such as feelings and interpersonal relationships... Mu Xing is indeed very clumsy. I have to say that everyone on the Dawn has always protected Little Musing very well. But Mu Xing believes that after this incident, Mu Xing should start to really grow up.
Aware of Mu Xing's weakness, the Illusive Man calmly continued to exert pressure.
"You are so kind... Mu Xing, you think that the people around you are good and the world is beautiful... just like you price those outstanding research results at one star and open them to the entire human race for licensing! It can be said that such a feat has never happened before in the entire history of mankind...
But you know what? Your laboratory has the highest theft rate in the entire galaxy! Each chip in the box behind you has been copied an unknown number of times. As we speak, there are thousands of people across the galaxy studying the information you have recorded. They rack their brains, trying to dig out the really important information between the lines of your words.
Even if the military and Cerberus have been devoting all their strength to protect you and using all means to cut off the channels for technology to flow out, one-third of the results have still been leaked..."
"The Cerberus personnel around you change frequently. Where do you think they have gone?" The bright flames erupted from the red giant star dissipated, allowing the Illusive Man's face to sink into darkness again. "We have been working together for six months. Cerberus Si paid one hundred and thirty-one lives for this..."
