Flanders flew according to the navigation route Shi Huajing had given him. This was Sector A, the center of political power in the League of Stars, and the unstable environment the League of Stars was in right now. Every political organization in Sector A had protected themselves tightly, and their already strong defense had grown several times stronger than before.
Shi Huajing had sent someone to pick them up. If they hadn't, they would've had a hard time entering Sector A. The patrolling fleets, the scanning signals, and the constant requests for ID confirmation were enough to annoy them to death. A moment of carelessness and they would be labeled as terrorists. It was a principle that one would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let a single one go.
Flanders and the others had boarded the starship that came to pick them up before they officially entered Sector A. There were a lot of places in Sector A that his spaceplane couldn't go to. He could at least take a look around before the League of Stars fell into chaos, but he definitely couldn't now.
Their main focus was on Jiu Xun. Silin and the other two were Flanders' "bodyguards", so they weren't too eye-catching compared to Jiu Xun. After they boarded the starship Shi Huajing sent, someone contacted Silin and relayed Shi Huajing's message to him.
"The fourth young master said that everything on his side is almost done. Please don't worry," the person said.
Shi Huajing meant that he already had a way to get Silin into Sector C, and that Silin didn't need to do too many things. However, it also meant that Shi Huajing must've made a move against the military already.
It was true that Shi Huajing wouldn't have become the Shi Family's revered "fourth young master" in just two or three years if he didn't have some tricks up his sleeve.
Right now, Silin couldn't communicate with Shi Huajing just yet. It wasn't safe, and the signal wasn't good. The area they were in right now was filled with strong electromagnetic interference due to the stellar activity. Therefore, Shi Huajing wanted Silin to learn about the situation first and prepare for the upcoming arrangements.
Aside from relaying Shi Huajing's message, the person also passed Silin a video message about a certain person.
It was Sward, a lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Legion of the Eight Great Legions. There were a lot of colonels in the military, but the person on the screen was no ordinary person. It was because he had experienced the prisons of Sector S before. Back then, he was sent to Sector S's prison because he wantonly slaughtered innocent civilians and even his comrades.
Normally, if the League of Stars's army killed some civilians, it wouldn't cause too much of a reaction. The higher-ups wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it. However, if they killed a certain number of people in one go, many times, and brazenly, it would be a different story.
Sward was such a person. He was arrogant, conceited, cold-blooded, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and there were all sorts of comments on him. He had massacred many times. The last time, he had slaughtered tens of thousands of people, all of whom were civilians. Moreover, he had killed to his heart's content despite the interference of the local government.
After that, Swood was imprisoned in Sector S's prison. However, the League of Stars fell into chaos a few years later, and the military split into eight corps. When Sector S's prison was abolished, a lot of people were taken back from there. Now the Fifth Corps had taken Swood, a former killing machine, into their ranks, and he played a lot of role in the subsequent corps battles.
However, this killing machine was now dead. Silin didn't know how Shi Huajing killed Swood, but he did know that Swood must have something to do with the place they were going to this time.
Silin didn't think that Shi Huajing killed Swood to help him. It was probably because Swood and Shi Huajing had a grudge, and Shi Huajing killed the guy without a word. It just so happened that Silin contacted Shi Huajing about going to Sector C, and that was why Shi Huajing told him about it. Otherwise, he would've kept it a secret forever. Even if others learned of Swood's death, they wouldn't be able to link it to him. After all, Shi Huajing represented the Shi Family, and it wasn't wise to clash directly with the military right now. At the same time, the fact that Shi Huajing told Silin about Swood was also a sign of trust.
From this, it could be seen that Shi Huajing had a lot of backup plans even without Silin's help. In fact, he might've planted a lot of spies in the military a long time ago.
The images Shi Huajing showed Silin were of Swood's performance in various situations. The man was a man of few words, and his entire body exuded a chilling aura. Even though it was just a video, it was enough to make the viewer feel the man's icy aura deeply. There was no emotion in his eyes, and he didn't show much expression when he killed someone either. It was as if he had done something insignificant.
"So, can you do it?" Silin looked at Shusag.
Silin understood why Shi Huajing showed him this video. He wanted one of them to disguise themselves as Swood. Of the trio, Shusag was the most suitable candidate. After all, he was a soldier himself, and his special traits only became more obvious after he put on his uniform. Also, according to the information he had received, Shusag and Swood's physique were very similar. Shusag himself could make some minor adjustments to his body, so there was no need to worry about his appearance. The most important thing was Swood's special traits.
Shusag put down his hand and stared at the man on the screen. "Of course!" he said with a smirk.
As soon as he said the word 'of course', Shusag's aura changed abruptly. It went from casual and unruly to cold and distant. His aura was so cold and distant that it left the messenger gaping in shock.
Many people could portray that kind of cruelty and arrogance, that kind of gloominess that felt like a blizzard was coming when they were motionless, but not everyone could embody that kind of special traits that belonged to the military.
Like a javelin, he stood with the exact same posture. He used his gaze to replace the coldness and gloom in his words. Behind the gloom, his emotionless eyes slowly looked over. Behind Shusag, Swoder was also looking over from the holographic screen.
The same movements, the same eyes, the same aura. It made people forget that Shusag wasn't wearing the army's uniform at all, and he didn't look the same as Swood.
The messenger's eyelids twitched when he saw those eyes, and a chill ran down his spine.
For a moment, it was as if he saw Swood standing in front of him again. The man who came from the military but killed to his heart's content like an assassin, ignoring the rules and discipline and not hesitating to kill his teammates.
In that instant, the man reflexively reached for his gun, but he immediately remembered that this was just a substitute. The real Swood was already dead. After all, he had participated in the assassination of Swood not long ago, so he had a deep impression of Swood. It was precisely because of this deep impression that when he found out about Shi Huajing's plan, he wondered if he could find such a replacement. He didn't expect that there would really be such a person who could display Sward's characteristics. Although he wasn't sure how similar they were, at least at that moment, he felt that Sward was standing in front of him again.
Swood, who had been through prison, was even more gloomy. Shusag's own experience wasn't simple either, and he seemed to have some kind of talent. The effect made Silin very satisfied.
To cover up the awkwardness of reflexively pulling out his gun, the messenger coughed and continued to explain the situation to Silin.
Shusag, on the other hand, turned back into that unreliable middle-aged man. He casually lay on a chair, picked up an apple and started munching on it, as if the cold and gloomy aura just now wasn't created by him.
After passing through the interference zone, Silin was finally able to contact Shi Huajing.
"How is it?" Shi Huajing asked. What he wanted to know the most was how well Silin and the others could impersonate Swood. The better the impersonation, the easier the operation would be, and the higher the success rate.
The messenger told Shi Huajing about what happened just now, and Shusag gave him face by putting on another performance. Shi Huajing couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. "Where did you find such a talent this time, Cillin?"
Silin only smiled. It couldn't be helped. Shusag's birthplace couldn't be revealed right now. Shi Huajing didn't delve too deeply into the matter. His main goal was to discuss the next step of the plan with Silin. Before this, he was going to impersonate Silin, but now that he had a better substitute, he had to change his plan a little.
"It's not hard to get into Sector C. I received a message not long ago that might be able to help you get in." Shi Huajing said, "A while ago, Swood's Fifth Corps had a little conflict with the First Corps, and I took care of Swood during that time. However, it was a pity that the First Legion had suffered some losses this time and lost some people. As for the place you mentioned, it won't be easy to get in. The security there is very strict, and the only people allowed in are prisoners or escorts. "
"Swood is one of the escorts?" Silin said.
"That's right. Sward has already escorted two batches of people. If nothing goes wrong, the third batch of prisoners of war should also be escorted by Sward. After all, not everyone can be indifferent to the kind of experiment that uses prisoners of war soldiers."
Silin nodded. He had a general idea of Shi Huajing's plan.
"But," Shi Huajing continued, "even if Shusag can disguise himself as Sward well, and I have some of Sward's identification in my hands, the base you're heading to will have a stricter identity check. They will also run nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA, gene activity, antibodies and so on. You know that there are some tests that even Spiritual Master Swood can't perform exactly the same tests every time. There will always be some slight differences. After all, the human body is a dynamic process. "
If the test results were exactly the same, it would be intercepted because it meant that someone had copied and stolen the test records of the same person. This was the biggest problem Shi Huajing was facing right now.
Silin thinks for a moment before looking at Czedow. After Czedow nodded, Silin said to Shi Huajing, "We can take care of this."
