Chapter 2 Death and the Weasel
Chapter 2 Death and the Weasel
Meanwhile, on the family flagship.
Seg watched as the light in the center of the psionic array in front of him slowly faded.
A slight upward curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"How is my second brother doing now?"
The psionicist standing in the center of the psionic array, dressed in a black robe, leaned forward and said in a sinister tone, "Very successful. I have fully activated the psionic energy in the food, and it has begun to erode his internal organs!"
"Good!" Seg's smile widened, then vanished, his eyes turning sinister.
The most outstanding members of the entire family are him and his second brother; even in the family's trade, his second brother has been incredibly successful in the past year.
So after his father said those words, he had no choice but to immediately begin the poisoning plan.
But I never expected the plan to be so successful!
……
Tie Hui was almost out of breath, but his consciousness was screaming frantically, trying to save himself.
He really doesn't want to die again!
But it's no use!
I really want to sleep!
But lying on the ground, the imperial necklace on his chest still sent a burning sensation through his diaphragm.
This was the only sense of touch that kept him conscious.
"May the Emperor protect you!"
The next second, consciousness sank into oblivion!
But what he didn't know was that at that very second, the imperial necklace on his chest emitted a warm yellow light that began to spread across the surface of his entire body.
However, under the lights inside the ship, the light was completely invisible to the naked eye!
Clang—
Brian, his face still warm with blood, rushed anxiously into the room.
Just now, he heard abnormal fluctuations in the young master's physical data.
Just as they were about to enter the room, a group of assassins suddenly surged into the passageway.
Although the assassins were not as strong as them, they fought desperately to block their path.
After Brian and his group broke through the encirclement, exchanging wounds for injuries, they rushed into the room where Tie Hui was, only to find him lying on the ground, lifeless.
"No……"
But what no one knew was that Tie Hui, who was unconscious, looked down at himself floating in the colorful space and felt a headache coming on.
Are you going to wear it again?
He then glanced around and saw a weasel wearing golden armor and a golden crown, with long, straight black hair, holding a greatsword that was burning with golden flames, smiling at him.
"Holy shit!"
……
Tie Hui has been pronounced dead despite all efforts to save him!
It is now placed in the morgue.
They waited for the pastor to come up and perform the final prayer ceremony before sending him to the incinerator.
Brian walked in with his arm wrapped in bandages, his face filled with despair and grief, and looked at Tie Hui, who was covered with a white sheet.
As the captain of the family's personal guard, an important member of the family, he will face serious consequences if the person he is protecting dies.
It could be so serious that the entire team could be executed!
No matter what, he, as the captain of the personal guard, was definitely going to kick the bucket.
Unless a more important member of the family is willing to protect and safeguard him!
Just as Brian was grieving,
Tie Hui, who was lying on the bed covered with a white sheet, suddenly shuddered.
The clanging sound from the metal frame startled Brian.
He stood up abruptly, adopting a defensive posture, and looked at Tie Hui, who was covered with a white sheet on the bed, with suspicion and uncertainty.
wow——
The next moment, the white cloth covering their heads was suddenly ripped off.
Although Tie Hui was awake, his head still ached a little.
"Ah—" Brian thought he had been controlled by the Chaos God when he saw this zombie-like scene.
He screamed and was about to draw his gun to fire, but then realized something and quickly covered his mouth, which had just made a sound. He stared in astonishment at Tie Hui, who was lying on the bed and silently watching him.
Could it be that the Emperor has manifested his power?
"Young Master?" Brian asked cautiously. Tie Hui nodded, indicating that he was the real deal.
The next second, Brian stood up straight like a javelin and performed the Eagle Salute, his whole body filled with excitement, after all, the pressure of the past few hours had been immense for him.
With the target he was protecting dead, his fate was sealed, and one can only imagine the pressure he felt.
He's already starting to think about who to turn to, or even running away!
At this moment, Tie Hui felt like someone with a cold and fever, only experiencing a headache.
I tried to sit up, but as soon as I made a movement of my head, I felt dizzy.
He simply lay down on the bed and looked at Brian beside him: "Have you found out?"
Brian nodded: "After your incident, the entire family was informed, and the first to step forward was the eldest son, Seger. He promised to catch the murderer within three days! At your funeral, he'll make him pay for it with his life!"
Tie Hui looked at the ceiling and smiled speechlessly.
"Did anything go wrong with the things and people we set up?" Tie Hui only then realized the backup plan he had made during this period!
Brian looked somewhat dejected upon hearing this.
Tie Hui understood what it meant, but just sighed.
Brian wasn't a graduate of a professional military academy; he was just an ordinary retired officer who had risen through the ranks in the Astral Army. Tie Hui couldn't expect much from him, so he said, "It's been less than two days since I sent out the message about being poisoned! Your next task is to gather those useful people and resources! Await my orders!"
Upon hearing the order, Brian hesitated and asked, "What about the others? Are we just going to let them fall apart and go to other people? Isn't that a waste of our resources?"
Tie Hui shook his head: "In this situation, it could be a fatal blow to anyone."
But for him, it was just right!
It can also help to purge a group of internal traitors in advance.
"We don't need to worry about those people! Let them go!" After saying that, Tie Hui looked at Brian: "If anyone tries to recruit you, join them! If not, then join my big brother! Be his inside man!"
"yes!"
"You don't need to worry about the rest. Just do what you're supposed to do!" Having regained some strength, Tie Hui straightened the sheets, pulled them up, and looked at Brian, saying, "When they're about to cremate me, prepare some personal combat supplies and put them in the incinerator with me!"
After Tie Hui finished speaking, he immediately covered his face with a white cloth!
Brian didn't say anything, but after saluting, he resumed his previous disheveled and dejected appearance and left the morgue.
After hearing Brian leave, Tie Hui slowly moved his hand up his abdomen and touched the imperial necklace still hanging on his chest.
Before he fainted, his memory was already somewhat hazy.
He only remembered that the necklace went from being icy cold to warm and then scalding hot.
There was also the dream of seeing a weasel after he fell into a coma. Although it was so blurry and frightening, even now, touching the necklace which is still warm, he feels as if he is dreaming.
