From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Actually, Lu Heng had not looked into Ze Wei'er Matrix's background, so there was no evidence proving that this conscription was unrelated to Ze Wei'er Matrix.

However, the main quest of this conscription was to investigate the mad scientist behind the Mechanical Demon.

If the target they were supposed to investigate was indeed Ze Wei'er Matrix, then this task would be impossible to complete.

How could Human superpower users deal with someone even the Sikes Military couldn't figure out?

Moreover, Ze Wei'er Matrix had always been on Second Gaia Star, not on Queen Star.

Since the superpower users were conscripted to Queen Star, it indicated that the incident occurred on Queen Star and did not involve other planets.

If it were the late period of the Abyss Era, interstellar Abyss events would occur, but at this point in time, such a significant event was unlikely.

Besides, with a danger level of 6, it did not reach the magnitude of an interstellar event.

Adding Yuan Yaoyao's relationship with Ze Wei'er Matrix to the mix, it indeed ruled out the suspicion towards Ze Wei'er Matrix.

Furthermore, it was actually Ze Wei'er Matrix, not the official Sikes Civilization, that provided technological assistance to humans.

Under such circumstances, Lu Heng could, without asking for reasons, directly side with Ze Wei'er Matrix's camp.

Seeing how certain Lu Heng was, Jian Qing did not delve into this matter any further and nodded, "I understand. I will focus on investigating other targets next."

Lu Heng brought the topic back to the Creator Organization's team, "I hope to gather more information about the raiding team."

"Sure." Jian Qing took out a drawing board and began to sketch and write on it.

She drew four V-shaped masks worn by the Revenge Kill team, pointing to the first one, "I saw four people all wearing similar masks, but there's a subtle difference in each. The first one's mask is made of gold, without any facial expression."

Xie Shi'en added, "This golden mask is nicknamed Pharaoh and is the captain of this team, the most mysterious one with unknown abilities."

Jian Qing continued, pointing to the second mask, "The second mask has a scar marked across the bridge of the nose."

Xie Shi'en continued, "That's 'Scarmark,' proficient in using knives, with exquisite swordsmanship."

Jian Qing went on, tapping the third mask with her pen, "And this mask with the red beard."

Xie Shi'en took over, "This one's Red Beard, a strength-type superpower user, probably very burly in build."

Jian Qing nodded, "Indeed, he looked quite muscular, and there's the last one, with blue totem patterns on the cheeks of the mask."

Xie Shi'en added, "That's 'Blueblood,' presumably a dual-system user of Spirit and Perception."

Lin Zeyu, upon hearing this, looked at Su Muyu and joked, "It seems Lady Su has met her match."

Xie Shi'en added, "There's also someone with a black mask, known as Dark Star, an assassin who seldom appears, which is why you did not see them."

Jian Qing listened carefully and recorded the important information.

Reflecting on what he heard, Lu Heng inquired, "When was the last time you saw this team? What were they doing?"

Jian Qing recalled the situation, replying, "Three days ago, near the Mars Building. We couldn't really tell what they were doing, merely saw them appearing on the rooftop of a building."

Lu Heng compiled all the information he had just received, thinking it over, and probed further, "You just said you only saw four people, did not spot the assassin called Dark Star?"

Jian Qing nodded, "Right."

"Did they use any stealth techniques at that time?" Lu Heng continued to interrogate.

Spirit's Perceiver answered, "They have stealth capabilities. It was me who first detected something hidden there, fearing it might be a Demon, so I went to confirm. When we got closer, they revealed themselves and prevented us from approaching further."

Lu Heng looked at Xie Shi'en and asked, "You said it's rare to even see Dark Star?"

"Yes, his stealth ability is very strong, and even Perceivers might not be able to spot him," Xie Shi'en nodded.

Lu Heng turned to the Perceiver in Jian Qing's team and asked, "Did you use your Perception Skill to investigate? Did you notice the presence of a fifth person around them?"

The Perceiver frowned and shook his head, "I swept with my Perception Skill and didn't detect any hidden targets, but I'm not sure if that means there's nobody there or if I just couldn't detect them."

Lu Heng thought of a possibility, "Is it possible they were in the middle of something at that time? Could it be that Dark Star infiltrated a building, with the other four waiting outside as backup?"

Jian Qing and a few members of her team exchanged glances, then nodded and said, "We can't rule out that possibility."

"Let's go! Take me to the Mars Building to check it out, it's very likely their target is there," Lu Heng said as he stood up.

Jian Qing also felt this was possible, and since visiting the Mars Building would not take long, she got up and set out with Lu Heng and the others to the Mars Building.

The Mars Building was fifty kilometers away from the Mitchell Greenhouse Apartments, slightly far.

However, the Sikes Civilization's aerial transportation was very fast, reaching the Mars Building in just twenty minutes.

Lu Heng asked Yuan Yaoyao to speak on their behalf, to communicate with the security system of the Mars Building.

Yuan Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit was a standard product of the Sikes Civilization, the most powerful Mechanical Angel developed by the Xavier Matrix.

Even with a bounty on its head, the Xavier Matrix was still able to move freely within the Sikes Civilization, naturally, the Black Feather Spirit could as well.

Thus, Yuan Yaoyao's communication with the Mars Building's security system went smoothly.

During normal security system communication, one, of course, cannot obtain the building's secrets, but some information is public and is posted on the official website of the building.

For example, how many companies are in Da Xia, what each company's scope of business is, all of these are public.

Yuan Yaoyao projected the information she found onto the screen.

Lu Heng browsed the information and read out the names of the companies, "Vickler Power Technology, Mars Security Service, Clarence Organic Life Research Institute..."

When he got to the last name, Lu Heng stopped abruptly, repeating, "Clarence Organic Life Research Institute."

This research institute was not large because the Sikes Civilization had already reached the later stages of mechanical civilization transformation, with the citizens of the civilization basically all undergone mechanical transformation.

Therefore, research on organic life was no longer a frontier scientific project for the Sikes Civilization.

Of course, there were still many organic lifeforms within the Sikes Civilization, various organic lifeforms that existed before the mechanical era, animals and plants, and so on...

These organic lifeforms had essentially become protected animals.

Not only humans protect endangered animals; the Sikes Civilization does, too.

In the museums of organic life of the Sikes Civilization, genetic information of all extinct species is preserved.

With the science and technology of the Sikes Civilization, they could even clone these extinct species at any time.

Research on organic life might not be a frontier field for the Sikes Civilization, but for humans, it is one of the most needed technologies.

The Creator Organization-controlled Ilemarvi Bio-Pharmaceutical Company was researching biotechnology.

Could it be that the raiding team from the Creator Organization appeared here because their target was this organic life research institute?
