Transform into a human

Mo walked confidently to the witness stand, showing no sign of guilt. Austin Song's eye twitched slightly; with his experience, he could naturally tell that the person in front of him was an imposter. He could even sense Mo's general thoughts, and therefore couldn't understand her—

How did she manage to be completely without feeling guilty?

He glanced at Xueji, who showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. Since the North Wind faction itself wasn't saying anything, he couldn't be bothered to meddle. As for the accusation made by Mo against Damian...

He genuinely had no idea when the Central Group had acquired Taiyang Group.

Taiyang Group's partners have always been Avery personally. Although the latter is a mid-to-high-level member of the faction, it is still a "minor matter" to him. Before this, he had rarely even heard of Taiyang Group.

It's just a temporary arrangement by all parties to guard the Jiming mining complex.

Snow Extreme: "Winona Loan, do you have anything to say about Damian kidnapping you?"

……

……

While the trial was in full swing, on a space station in outer space.

The oldest and most popular temple in the Empire is called "Yuansheng Temple," which is said to be a place where "one can form a Buddhist connection and still know the cycle of reincarnation." The space station is called "Yuanmie Temple," and its branches are distributed throughout the Federation.

Inside the Enmaeji Temple, a man wearing a baseball cap sat by the porthole, gazing intently at the blue and green police hood.

"So beautiful."

"It was precisely because of her beauty that Serena's sirens suffered a catastrophic fate."

Tang Qian raised his eyebrows and looked over. The newcomer was wrapped in a cloak, his face was covered by a supernatural shadow, and his voice was a mechanical synthesized voice. Monks came and went in an endless stream, but they were completely unaware of the two of them.

He was the one who could deceive the monks' vision with his curved light, but the person before him seemed to be able to deceive even their hearing. He suddenly realized:

"Like a shadow... So it was you, you were the one protecting Yue Lai in secret."

"Intelligent," the cloaked figure commented briefly.

"So there really are spies not registered with the police headquarters... Anyway, I'm about to die, can you tell me how you obtained the Level 3 ritual?"

As the backbone of any faction, the secrets of the three-level ritual are of paramount importance to the Zanhuake. They simply cannot understand how this person managed to deceive Chixin.

"Did you participate in the ambush of Avery during Neptune's escape?"

Tang Qian didn't answer, but added another question: "Did you kill Malfoy?"

The cloaked figure remained silent for a long time: "I derived the ritual myself, and as for Malfoy... yes, I killed him."

Tang Qian took off his baseball cap and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on it:

"The police headquarters is truly infiltrated like a sieve. It used to be that only innocent people could use their connections on this planet, then the authority was delegated to the entire police force, then to all residents, and now even any random outsider can get a license chip. Wouldn't you call that a kind of entropy increase?"

The cloaked figure spoke with a hint of impatience: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"You're really worried," Tang Qian sighed. "I shouldn't have participated in that ambush. Now we've escaped to this godforsaken place, and we're still being hunted down. It's unbelievable."

"The art of unraveling complexities can only be truly appreciated when applied to one's opponent."

"You knew that your actions would leave a flaw, yet you still participated."

That's right. When Avery was absent from the temporary coalition to conquer Neptune's Crown, the cloaked man knew that Avery was definitely not the mastermind behind this group!

On the contrary, Avery must be the unlucky guy pushed out by the dark forces to bear the brunt of the storm!

"I have no choice," Tang Qian said helplessly, spreading his hands. "I'm just doing dirty work for Taiyang Group, how can I really decide what I want to do?"

The cloaked figure suddenly said, "No, you are going to your death willingly."

Tang Qian paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about? We little people from the gutter value our lives more than anything else."

"Have you forgotten that I possess keen insight?"

The man fell silent.

The cloaked figure continued, "You, like Damian, are pawns discarded by the mastermind behind everything."

"The Taiyang Group went all in, risking heavy losses to frame Avery and cover up the true identity of the mastermind. I'm increasingly curious about who that person is."

"'Mastermind'? I thought you would call him 'sinner'," Qu Guangzhe caught the other person's choice of words. "It seems you are a relative or friend of one of the victims, and the one who killed Malfoy first... he was there to deal with Helena Casti. I think I know who you are."

The answer is self-evident.

Tang Qian still couldn't imagine how this nearly sixty-year-old woman suddenly became a flower-wearing lady. What had she gone through in the past twenty years?

Yes, that mysterious woman wearing flowers was none other than Mrs. Castile!

"Mrs. Casti, it's you! No wonder you've been chasing after me so relentlessly."

Twenty years ago, it was he who contacted the pirates of Sector 56 and provided them with legal ships to smuggle them to Esfrie, where they killed Victor Casti. He was also responsible for communicating with Bryce and coordinating with the police to deliberately avoid telling the truth.

"Twenty years ago... you were still a child."

"Nineteen years old is not young anymore," Qu Guangzhe smiled indifferently, "besides, thugs are trained from a young age."

"I see. No wonder you arranged such a play for your brother."

Tang Qian is Tang Dun's elder brother!

Curved Light put his baseball cap back on, straightened his appearance, and Helena Casti said softly:

"Everything you've done will be exposed, and he will appear as a witness to accuse you. From now on, the Taiyang Group will avoid him at all costs; otherwise, any mishap will be used to silence him, is that right?"

"That's right."

"What if he can't bring himself to do it?"

"Can't bear it? It seems you have no idea about our terrible brotherly relationship. He hates me to the core."

As a family that does dirty work for the Pacific Group, the Downton family has too many secrets that cannot be revealed to others. Perhaps only such a ruthless decision can break the curse of generations of servants and win freedom for Downton.

Helena already knows what she wants to know, and Tang Qian doesn't know the identity of the person behind the scenes. Otherwise, he could have used it as a bargaining chip to seek protection from a certain faction—now he doesn't even know who to turn to for help.

Although framing Avery seems like an Imperial operation, blindly joining the Northwind faction based solely on this, especially if the mastermind is a powerful figure within the Northwind faction, could cost the lives of one's entire family.

It would indeed be the best outcome if only he died.

Helena, who was hidden behind Yue Lai, witnessed the entire story of Downton Abbey, and she had only one thing to say about it:

"You are far superior to Downton Abbey."

"I like hearing that. That good-for-nothing... he only deserves to live under my protection."

"But what can I do? I'm the older brother."

Helena gently pointed at him, and a thin, almost imperceptible thread pierced through the skull of the man with the curved light, and the smiling man gradually fell silent.

The body transformed into a faint aurora, returning to the universe through the glass.

The monk passed by without noticing that the reflection on the porthole was slightly dazzling today.
