Chapter 524 Lin Qiye Under Investigation!
Terra City, headquarters of the Ten Schools Alliance.
The atmosphere in the top-floor conference room was initially quite relaxed.
Chen Tianyang, Feng Zhentian, and other top figures from Terra City are gathered here.
Although the situation on the other side of the abyss remains tense, thanks to Lin Qiye's previous swift and decisive actions, the most critical moment has passed.
Now they are discussing how to cooperate with Lin Qiye, the newly promoted deputy director, to carry out subsequent resource integration.
"Everyone can see Vice Minister Lin's potential."
Chen Tianyang held his teacup, his tone filled with emotion:
"Give him time, and even the legendary God of War..."
"Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!"
Suddenly, a sharp and urgent red alarm interrupted Chen Tianyang's words without warning, echoing throughout the entire conference room!
All eyes instantly focused on the red terminal in the very center of the conference table, which was usually dormant and tightly protected by a glass cover.
That is—the highest-level communication line on the main planet!
This terminal will only light up when it involves the safety of the galaxy or when the host star issues a major command.
The expressions of the mysterious powerful figures in the conference room changed drastically, and they abruptly stood up.
The elderly man in charge of external affairs paused for a moment, and the teacup in his hand trembled slightly.
His expression instantly turned extremely serious. He strode forward, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button with trembling hands.
This is a must-accept mission; any delay will be considered a betrayal of the Galactic Empire!
"Buzz—"
A huge holographic light screen instantly unfolded above the conference table.
The background of the image is a dark and deep cosmic sky, and a spaceship cockpit with a metallic texture.
Immediately afterwards, two enormous figures dressed in red and black uniforms appeared in the center of the screen.
That is……
The adjudicator at the court headquarters!
"I am the adjudicator of the Tribunal Headquarters—'Crimson Flame'."
In the scene, the giant, radiating a scorching aura, speaks with a voice like thunder that booms through the screen, carrying an undeniable air of majesty and arrogance:
"At this moment, our warship has crossed the Kuiper Belt of the 0755 galaxy and officially entered the galaxy's gravitational range."
"It is expected to arrive at Terra's orbit and land in 30 Terra days."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was instantly shocked!
30 days?!
The Arbiter warships of the main star had already entered the edge of the star system, and they only just received the news?!
This shows that they came without any prior notice!
"Your Honor... Your Honor!"
Suppressing his shock, Wang Laoqiang bowed and asked:
"May I ask what important business brings you two gentlemen from afar? We would like to prepare for your arrival in advance..."
"We don't need your fancy hospitality."
The "Ice Prison" beside him, radiating a chilling aura, coldly interrupted him:
"Our mission is to investigate the cases of 'high-energy anomalies in the abyss' and 'suspected incarnation of an evil god'."
At this point, Bingyu's emotionless eyes, seemingly light-years away, coldly swept over everyone in the conference room:
"Issue the highest order from the court—"
"The people involved in this incident—Lin Qiye, Luo Bingyun, Zhang Qingkong, Lin Mingmei…and others!"
"You must be available at any time for the entire month and are not allowed to leave Terra City!"
"Furthermore, upon our landing, the relevant personnel must proceed to the Terra City courthouse to await investigation!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianyang frowned sharply, couldn't help but step forward, and said in a deep voice:
"My lords, Lin Qiye is a hero of Terra City! He just defeated the evil god! What are you trying to do...?"
"Shut up!"
Chi Yan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Chen Tianyang:
"Our orders are—cooperate with the investigation!"
"Just cooperate!"
"No matter what, Lin Qiye is still a person involved!"
"As long as he has a clean record and hasn't been corrupted by the abyss, our court will certainly not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty person go unpunished!"
"This month is his time to prepare materials and prove his innocence!"
"But what if he dares to be absent, or tries to run away..."
A fierce glint flashed in Chi Yan's eyes:
"Then don't blame us for treating this behavior as fleeing from justice, and in that case... kill without mercy!"
"beep--"
Communication was unilaterally cut off.
The holographic screen disappeared, and the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although the other party claimed they were only "related personnel" and had not been convicted.
But everyone could hear the murderous intent and condescending scrutiny hidden in those words!
Those high-ranking officials who had placed their bets on Lin Qiye—Chen Tianyang, Feng Zhentian, and other high-ranking officials from the Ten Schools Alliance, as well as the deputy commander of the city garrison and the deputy commander of the court—all had extremely grim expressions on their faces.
Especially the higher-ups of the Ten Schools Alliance, they were well aware that they were now in the same boat as Lin Qiye.
Not only was he given the high position of deputy minister, but he was also granted core authority, and he even publicly endorsed him on multiple occasions.
If Lin Qiye is really labeled as an "incarnation of an evil god" or a "heretical figure in the abyss".
Every single one of them must be held accountable!
At best, they'll be disgraced and forced to resign; at worst, they'll be considered accomplices and subjected to severe scrutiny by the ruling planet!
However, at least half of the people around the conference table, while maintaining a serious expression, had a gleam of schadenfreude in their eyes.
They remained in a wait-and-see state, either because of unequal distribution of benefits or simply out of jealousy of Lin Qiye's rapid rise.
Now, the arbiter of the main star is coming!
The Arbitrators are all legendary War Gods!
Even without using warships, the two of them alone are enough to wipe out the entire 0755 star system from head to toe!
Since the target is Lin Qiye, what does it have to do with them?
They only need to cooperate with the main star, and they can even take this opportunity to get a share of the pie in the future power reshuffle!
As for those high-ranking officials who had long been dissatisfied with Lin Qiye's autocratic rule, they were overjoyed and couldn't wait to celebrate with champagne, wishing Lin Qiye would die soon.
The crowd's gazes drifted, seemingly unintentionally, toward Zhang Qingkong, who was sitting at the end of the table.
Even a fool could guess that, besides this team leader who also came from the main planet, who else could have sent back accusations and intelligence of this level?
Despite sensing the suspicious, angry, and even murderous gazes around him, Zhang Qingkong remained unusually calm.
He slowly stood up, let out a long sigh, and wore a helpless and innocent expression on his face:
"Everyone, you don't need to look at me like that."
"I just found out about this myself."
"Moreover, the Arbiter's order also stated that I am among those involved."
"As Luo Bingyun's partner and the person in charge of this exchange group, I am responsible for such a big incident."
Zhang Qingkong looked around, his tone frank:
"I will stay in Terra City, obediently await the arrival of the judges, and accept all investigations."
Zhang Qingkong used a strategy of retreat to advance, proactively placing himself in the position of "the person being investigated."
He wasn't worried at all!
The arbitrator will arrive in 30 days.
At this critical juncture, who dares to touch him?
To touch him is to destroy evidence, and to defy the main planet!
