Mo Wei looked at Yu Ran with relief. The plan he was going to implement would change the entire human society, and it was not easy to find a capable assistant. Yu Ran was born as a space pirate, had no sense of good and evil, had a strong mental power, and was smart, which was exactly what he wanted.
He rarely admired a junior like this, just like he admired his eldest disciple Qin Luo.
Unfortunately, Qin Luo was too stubborn. In order to find evidence for his wife, he secretly went to the laboratory to retrieve the sealed data. He thought he had a jellyfish spirit body that could be invisible, and no one knew what he secretly did when he was working overtime at the Academy of Sciences late at night...
He would never have thought that the person behind the scenes was his most respected mentor.
As long as the optical computer storing data was opened, Mo Wei would receive the news immediately. After checking the people on duty that day, it was easy to guess who was investigating the Sentinel experiment. Later, they found too much information, and it was helpless to kill the couple. It was a pity for Xie Ran, the child, who was less than 20 years old and was killed in the explosion with his parents.
Mo Wei looked at the 18-year-old Yu Ran in front of him and said with a smile: "Ran Ran, I want to take you as my last disciple, what do you think?"
Yu Ran sneered in his heart.
Last disciple? My father was his eldest disciple, and it was ridiculous for me to be accepted as his last disciple.
But on the surface, Yu Ran was still flattered and said, "Is this appropriate? I haven't even been to college, how can I follow you to study for a master's degree?"
Mo Wei waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether you go to college or not. How can the knowledge taught in school be as good as what I teach you personally?"
Yu Ran smiled and said, "That's right. If you are willing to teach me how to do scientific research, I will definitely inherit your legacy and carry forward our experiments. The future world will belong to our guides."
Mo Wei patted Yu Ran's shoulder excitedly: "Great, that's great!"
After all, he was almost 70 years old, and even though the average human life span was now over 120 years old, he still had more than 50 years to live. However, after he passed away, he would have to find a successor, and he didn't want the experimental data he had studied throughout his life to be completely lost.
After all, this is a great cause that influences human evolution and needs to be passed down from generation to generation!
It’s great that Yu Ran is willing to be his apprentice.
Mo Wei's expression was almost insane. He looked at the deformed sentinels in the cage with disdain and said, "Sentinels are a group of humans born with genetic defects. Their spiritual world is very fragile and they can easily go berserk or even deform into monsters. Look at these guys with snake bodies, human faces and fish tails. They have no consciousness and thoughts, only the instinct to attack. How are they different from wild beasts? How can this be considered evolution? This is degeneration and atavism!"
Yu Ran didn't agree with his idea in her heart.
Sentinels are prone to going berserk, so God created guides among humans.
The relationship between sentinels and guides is one of mutual assistance and complementation.
However, due to the overly aggressive pace of human expansion in recent years, a large number of Sentinels have been sent to the front line to occupy resource planets, while the corresponding number of guides accompanying the army is extremely scarce, and the Sentinels' medical resources are seriously in short supply, which has led to many Sentinels going crazy and deformed.
This is not the fault of the sentinels themselves, but the fault of the system.
Those frenzied Sentinels should not be despised! They have been fighting desperately for the development of mankind. They are always at the forefront, facing unknown dangers in the universe... They are the bravest heroes among humans.
They also have relatives and lovers. Do you think they are willing to become like this? It's because there is no guide to help them, and your perverted drug experiment has harmed so many sentinels.
Yu Ran suppressed the urge to refute the other party and said with a smile: "You are right. People like Sentinel with genetic defects should not exist."
Mo Wei sighed softly: "These sentinels are too powerful and there are too many of them. If the guide fights them head-on, it will be very disadvantageous. That's why I restarted the experiment of controlling the sentinels. Fortunately, after years of research, it has now been successful."
He admired Lu Zexuan as if he were appreciating a work of art: "Next, as long as we control the power of the legions, prevent those powerful legions from launching a coup, and allow the president to be re-elected in the election at the end of the year, our great plan can be truly realized!"
Yu Ran looked at him in surprise: "President?"
Mo Wei realized that he had let something slip, and quickly changed the subject, "You still have an important mission. Take Lu Zexuan back and have him kill Lu Tingyu and his wife and inherit the Falcon Legion."
Yu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Professor, I think it is not appropriate to kill General Lu directly."
Mo Wei narrowed his eyes: "Oh? What do you mean?"
Yu Ran analyzed seriously, "The Lu family has established a firm foothold in the Federation two hundred years ago. Although the position of legion commander has always been inherited by S-level sentinels among the direct descendants, in addition to the legion commander, the Falcon Legion also has a large number of generals who are also very powerful. If Lu Zexuan kills his father to seize power, those people will definitely not obey him, but will cause civil unrest."
Mo Wei thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "That makes sense. So what do you think we should do?"
Yu Ran said: "Let General Lu die unexpectedly."
Yu Ran gradually led Mo Wei astray: "Accidental sacrifice?"
Yu Ran pointed at the motionless golden eagle in the cage and said, "Lu Cheng'an is dead, but his body can still be recycled. I heard from Lu Zexuan that his brother's father died of illness when he was very young, and he was adopted by Lu Tingyu. Lu Tingyu's feelings for this nephew are closer than to his own son. If he knew that his nephew might still be alive, do you think he would rush to save him as soon as possible?"
Mo Wei suddenly saw the light: "Luring the snake out of its hole? Good idea."
Yu Ran smiled and said, "When he comes to rescue Lu Cheng'an, we will create an accident and let him die gloriously. As long as he dies accidentally on a foreign planet and has nothing to do with Lu Zexuan, then Lu Zexuan can naturally inherit the position of legion leader. What do you think of this plan?"
Mo Wei stroked his chin and thought carefully for a moment. He found that the young man in front of him had a very fast mind and was so smart that he was a little afraid of him.
But Yu Ran's words did make sense. If Lu Zexuan went home to kill his father, the other generals of the Falcon Legion would definitely suspect the cause of General Lu's death. If an internal conflict was triggered, it would disrupt his plan.
If Lu Zexuan wants to ensure a peaceful transfer of the position of legion commander, he cannot do it himself.
That year, General Xie Xi "died unexpectedly", and her sister Xie Chen successfully inherited the Star Legion.
If Lu Tingyu also "died unexpectedly", Lu Zexuan would be the first heir of the Falcon Corps, and those generals who were very loyal to Lu Tingyu would not rebel during the mourning period of his death. Lu Zexuan could inherit the Corps under the banner of "finding out the cause of his father's death and avenging his father".
Mo Wei laughed and looked at Yu Ran with appreciation: "This plan is indeed good, let's do as you say."
Yu Ran's palms were full of cold sweat. After hearing this, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He bowed to Mo Wei and said, "Thank you for your trust, Master. I will do my best to prevent the people of the Falcon Corps from getting suspicious."
Mo Wei was extremely happy to hear the word "Master". He looked at Yu Ran gently and said, "Okay, within a month, let Lu Zexuan take over as the head of the army smoothly. Remember, you can't let outsiders see that Lu Zexuan has been controlled by you."
Yu Ran smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do." He glanced at the corpse in the cage and said, "I'll take the body of this golden eagle away first?"
Yu Ran said, "His face still looks human, so it's easy to recognize. I'll take some videos of him, send them anonymously to General Lu, and ask General Lu to meet at a designated place. When Lu Tingyu sees his nephew, he will definitely come to rescue him in person. Then, I'll tie a timed self-destruct device to this corpse and send him to reunite with General Lu, so that they can die together. What do you think of this plan?"
Mo Wei looked at Yu Ran in surprise—this young man was even more cruel and ruthless than him.
He is worthy of being his chosen disciple.
Mo Wei patted Yu Ran's shoulder with relief and said, "Very good, I happen to have the self-destruct device you need, I can give it to you."
***
Yu Ran had the golden eagle put into a huge box and carried into a small private spaceship.
The "aunt" served as the driver of the spacecraft and took Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan away from the rooftop helipad. Yu Ran looked down through the porthole and saw the blood-thirsty flowers blooming everywhere, making the entire contaminated area look like it was stained red with blood.
The spaceship was flying in the sky and the flowers were swaying on the ground, as if lining up to see them off.
The secret base in the center of the contaminated area gradually faded away. Yu Ran withdrew his gaze and turned back to ask "Auntie": "Where are you taking us?"
The woman said, "I'll take you away from Planet B73."
When the spacecraft passed through the defense network of the safe zone, it was not blocked at all. The garrison on Planet B73 was from the Sun Legion. It seemed that these garrisons had long been bribed by the Dark Night Organization. It was possible that even the top leaders of the Sun Legion were not very clean.
At this time, Lu Zexuan's perception was still blocked. He couldn't see or hear anything, and couldn't help but ask in his mind: "Ranran, how is it? Is the problem solved?"
Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we passed the final test. He now completely believes that I am a space pirate and that you are under my control. He also said that he wants to take me in as his last disciple."
Lu Zexuan: "... He is... Mo Wei?"
Accepting a closed disciple? The president of the Guide Association has no disciples, and the president can't accept a disciple either. Lu Zexuan could only think of Mo Wei when he heard this.
Professor Mo Wei has many students. Ranran's father was his eldest disciple. Now, he accepted Yu Ran as his last disciple. This seems like a karma destined by fate.
A strong hatred suddenly surged in Yu Ran's spiritual world, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, the man behind the scenes is Mo Wei, my father's most respected teacher! I suspect that my parents died because my father knew something and was silenced by him!"
The hatred for one's parents is irreconcilable. Moreover, hundreds of innocent soldiers of the Starlight Corps died in those days.
Yu Ran wished he could chop that beast Mo Wei into pieces.
But he couldn't do that now. The Dark Night Organization was not just Mo Wei, this organization had been dormant for many years, its power was extremely large, and it had spies planted all over the Federation - he had to uproot the Dark Night Organization and completely eliminate the hidden dangers.
Lu Zexuan said in his mind: "Don't be sad. At least our efforts were not in vain. The big fish behind the scenes finally revealed its true face."
Yu Ran said: "I'm afraid he's not the only big fish."
Lu Zexuan was stunned: "He has helpers? By the way, he is just a scientist. Even if his scientific research results are amazing, high-level guides like Adeline and Andre may not listen to him."
Yu Ran said, "Yes. He mentioned inadvertently that President Harrison wanted to run for re-election."
Lu Zexuan: “…”
If the president is behind him, then it makes sense. Would Adeline and the others dare to disobey the president's orders? The power and benefits that the president can promise to these organization members must be much greater than that of a scientist.
A federal president and a research fanatic, they are truly an ace duo!
Lu Zexuan suppressed his anger and said, "Of course, why don't you remove my barrier?"
Yu Ran said, "We are still on his territory. It is better for you not to see some things for the time being."
Lu Zexuan was very confused: "What on earth is this thing?"
Yu Ran glanced at the huge box on the airship that contained the "corpse" of the golden eagle. If Lu Zexuan saw his brother's appearance, he would not be able to maintain the puppet's expression. Many people on this planet were controlled, and pairs of eyes were like dense surveillance. Even if they passed Mo Wei's test, they could not take it lightly.
Lu Zexuan did not wait for Yu Ran's answer, but the next moment, he realized that his hand was gently held by Yu Ran.
Yu Ran's voice rang in my mind: "If I'm in danger one day, you will definitely protect me, right?"
Lu Zexuan said without hesitation: "Of course."
Yu Ran said, "Me too."
"I will also find a way to protect you... and your family."
"So Lu Zexuan, don't ask yet. I don't let you know, of course I have my reasons."
Lu Zexuan felt warm in his heart and said simply, "Okay, I believe you."
He believed that Ranran would not do anything to harm him. He would protect Yu Ran, and likewise, Yu Ran would protect him.
Lu Zexuan continued to look dazed and followed Yu Ran all the way to the space station on planet B73.
The "aunt" who drove the small spaceship to send them off waved to Yu Ran and said with a smile, "Bye, Ranran."
Yu Ran said: "Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie. Zexuan and I will continue our journey."
The spacecraft quickly left planet B73 and headed into the vast universe.
The golden eagle in the box made a struggling sound at this time, and he seemed to have woken up from the coma caused by excessive blood loss.
