The news of one of the three kings of the Modo Civilization being assassinated quickly spread throughout the entire galactic society. That night, one of the three kings was announced to be dead. This sudden change shocked the entire universe!
Be it the officials of the advanced civilizations or the ordinary people of the galactic society, their first reaction when they heard this news could be summed up in one word.
What the f * ck!
The one who died was not a nobody but the leader of a Supercluster civilization, second only to the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations. For someone of this status to be assassinated, it seemed to be something from the previous era in the eyes of the galactic residents. Who knew how long it had been since such shocking news happened?
In the minds of ordinary people, it was impossible for the leaders of advanced civilizations to be assassinated. Because of this, it was even more unbelievable when it happened. This fully demonstrated that everyone was equal in the face of death, and no one could escape death for sure.
After the assassination incident broke out, the entire Modo mother planet entered the highest level of martial law. Countless soldiers searched for the culprit, even digging three feet into the ground to find the culprit.
Many spies of other civilizations were implicated. Quite a number of these people were monitored by the Modo Civilization, but Modo did not make a move. They were waiting to catch the big fish. Now, however, they could not care about anything else. They captured all these people and interrogated them.
The Modo Civilization immediately restricted the release of the video. At the same time, they quickly released an announcement, using extremely harsh words to emphasize that the assassination of the leader of the Modo Civilization was a provocation and insult to the entire civilization. They expressed that they would investigate the cause and effect of this matter thoroughly. They also claimed that there was a high chance that this was done by an enemy. Once the identity of the culprit was found, they would not let the matter rest.
The assassination incident shocked and confused the people. Under such circumstances, the announcement made by the Modo Civilization immediately guided the thoughts of the people, causing them to be angry at a common enemy. They tried to focus this anger on the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, this method was correct. It could make the people united against the enemy.
However, the various organizations of the three Universal Civilizations hidden in the Modo Civilization would not sit back and watch this happen. They kept fanning the flames, releasing all kinds of opinions to affect the effect of the Modo Civilization's announcement, changing the thoughts of the people.
The method was not fancy, but used more conspiracy theories to come up with all sorts of new speculations for the assassination case. It could be mainly divided into two directions. One was to lead the people's thoughts to the path of political assassination, claiming that the opposition had just failed to seize power and had the motive to take the risk to assassinate the three kings. It was to make it seem as if it was true.
The other direction was to spread rumors that the assassins who claimed to have assassinated one of the three kings were actually radicals from the other two races that were born out of the racial divide recently. This was to catalyze the evolution of the racial divide.
Both of these theories had loopholes, but conspiracy theories had always been popular. While the quantum network facilitated communication in the galactic society, it also became an important platform to set the pace. All kinds of real and fake information were too much for people to take in, weakening the judgment of the people. In addition, the assassination made it difficult for a large number of people to maintain their rationality, so these two theories were actually supported by many people.
At the same time, dozens of foreign terrorist forces joined in the fun and announced that they would take responsibility for this matter. It was as if this had become an opportunity to establish their status in the gray world.
All of a sudden, the racial divide and the people who angrily denounced the political assassination kept growing. The seeds of chaos gradually took root and sprouted. Countless voices of condemnation appeared on the internet. Until something big happened, one would never know what kind of strange opinions would appear. They could always break the worldview of the entire society time and time again.
The Modo Civilization was in a terrible state because of this assassination. They did not have the time to slowly deal with the public opinion. They could only take a tough approach and forbid the people from discussing these two possibilities. Although the upper echelons knew that this would cause a backlash, they could only choose the lesser of two evils and stop the rumors from spreading first.
The assassination of the Three Kings had caused a huge uproar. Countless powers had turned their attention over, and a storm was brewing under everyone's watchful eyes.
On the other hand, Han Xiao, who was far away in the Flickering World, also received the news.
…
"What the f * ck, someone tried to assassinate the three kings of Modo? Whose cutie is this?! "
Han Xiao's eyes widened in shock.
He had similar thoughts before, but he did not put them into action in the end, nor did he order his subordinates to carry out the assassination.
The reason he did not do it was mainly because of his identity. He was now a hero created by the world order, so it was impossible for him to assassinate the leader of an advanced civilization.
However, if someone else carried out the assassination, Han Xiao would be happy to see it happen. To him, it was like a fisherman taking advantage of a sandpiper and a clam fighting.
He could roughly guess the various consequences of this. Whether the Modo Civilization caught the murderer or not, they would have to give the results of the investigation. Even if they could not find out the truth, they would have to find a good scapegoat to resolve the social conflicts in the country and give the people a direction to vent their emotions.
It all depended on what Modo chose to resolve this. If they wanted to minimize the problem, it would be the most convenient to push it to the terrorist organizations outside the country. If they wanted to cause trouble, both the three Universal Civilizations and himself would be targeted. This way, Modo would have a new motive for the Flickering War. They would continuously send out troops and occupy the high ground of public opinion.
As for the truth … who knew what was going on? Because the Modo Civilization prohibited the release of videos, he could not see the video of the assassination. However, he did not think the three Universal Civilizations were the murderers. There was no need for that at all.
Could it be that they were really extremists?
Han Xiao felt an unbearable itch in his heart.
"Which idiot is so reckless? He's practically sacrificing himself for others!"
Just as he was sighing to himself, his communicator suddenly rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it. It was an encrypted communication request from Lothaire.
Han Xiao's expression froze. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Sending me a message at this time? No way …"
After hesitating for two seconds, he picked up the call and heard the sound of steady breathing in the communication channel.
"Lothaire?" Han Xiao subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Mhm."
"Please don't tell me that you're the one who did this …"
"It was me."
Hearing this answer, Han Xiao's vision turned black.
What the f * ck, I was guessing for a long time. After confirming the look, it turned out to be my iron head!
This is too exciting. My little heart can't take it …
"Are you crazy? I didn't order you to do this! "
"You told me to do my best to disrupt Modo's social order. I understood your strategic intention," Lothaire said with a serious tone.
"So, you decided to assassinate the Modo Three Kings on your own?" Han Xiao felt like he was about to explode.
"I did not disappoint you."
You're really a f * cking genius!
Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
Even most players can't compare to you in terms of subjective initiative!
As expected of someone who dared to assassinate EsGod. You're so reckless that my trigeminal nerve hurts!
I'm clearly a stable man. Why do I have such an iron-headed subordinate?!
Taking two deep breaths, Han Xiao calmed himself down.
At this point, he could only accept reality and clean up after him.
"… Where are you? Have you escaped Modo's mother planet?"
"I've already left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have contacted you."
Lothaire briefly described what happened to him.
He was not really reckless. He had snuck into Modo's mother planet more than a month ago and left a few backup plans. He had been waiting for an opportunity. Because he could not get in touch with the Three Kings, he had been waiting patiently. A few days ago, when he saw the Three Kings' speech announcement, he knew that his chance had come. Thus, he made the necessary arrangements before taking action.
After so many assassinations, Lothaire had accumulated a lot of experience in running. He was already an expert. From the successful assassination to the Modo troops executing the lockdown order, there was a reaction process. He took advantage of this time to successfully escape. The whole process was orderly. However, he was only safe for now. He still had to face the Modo Civilization's pursuit.
After hearing Lothaire's story, Han Xiao said helplessly, "It's not easy to escape from their territory.
"You won't be able to escape so easily in their territory. Stop all your assassination missions for now. You've already killed one leader, so there's no need to continue targeting them. Focus on escaping, and I'll see if I can bring you back."
Since he had already done it, he could not just watch Lothaire fall into Modo's hands.
This kind of thing could be done but could not be said. Otherwise, the disadvantages would outweigh the benefits. As long as Modo did not catch him and there was no solid evidence, he could deny it afterward.
It would be impossible for Han Xiao not to blame Lothaire for acting on his own accord. He had been sitting on the fence, but now, there was a risk. Assassinating the Three Kings was not part of his plan.
However, there were also benefits in this.
The assassin was one of them, which meant that the damage this incident caused to the Modo Civilization was also part of the mission progress of [Kunde Race Leader's Last Wish]. Maybe he would complete this mission sooner than he expected.
…
On the Modo Civilization's mother planet …
Bang!
A group of soldiers broke into the office, looked around, and said coldly, "Marco, come with us for investigation."
Marco slowly got up with a bitter expression.
All the opposition parties had become the focus of internal investigation. Everyone was implicated because they had a suspicious motive. No matter how wronged they felt, they could only accept the investigation obediently.
The sudden assassination had also trapped them, the opposition.
At this moment, Marco only had one thought in his mind.
F * ck!
