The space monitors of the three major civilizations are backed by big trees and have huge resources. It is not difficult to find a group of low-level scavengers.

The process was smooth sailing. To give a rough summary of the process, it can be summarized as follows: identity record matching - whereabouts location - arriving across provinces - opening the door to check the water meter - squatting against the wall with hands clasped together.

A set of operations is very smooth, and the professional level is extremely proficient. It can be seen that it has been done hundreds or thousands of times.

In the scavenger's small spaceship, Harrison and his group squatted against the wall and shivered, not daring to breathe. The Federation of Light uniforms worn by these space monitors dispelled all their desire to resist.

At the bottom of interstellar society, even if you are just a pawn of the three major civilizations, you are an existence that must not be messed with - without the size of the top forces, daring to offend the three major civilizations is simply an act of lighting a lantern in a latrine and looking for shit.

"You...what are you going to do? We, we are law-abiding interstellar citizens."

The little detectorist's mouth trembled up and down, and the rhythm was like Allegro.

The Glorious Federation inspector moved a chair and sat in front of the group. He leaned forward with his upper body exuding a sense of oppression and said in a cold voice: "You don't know what crime you have committed?"

What crime have we committed?

Everyone looked confused and hurriedly racked their brains to recall whether they had committed any illegal behavior in their daily lives, feeling terrified and uneasy.

The short detector suddenly trembled and said hurriedly: "I...I surrender!"

"Oh?" The glorious federal supervisor turned to look at him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, what is the crime?"

"I, I anonymously hacked the paid database of a local adult entertainment channel yesterday, and secretly downloaded thousands of pornographic movies... Ahem, I'm guilty of that kind of movies! I'll examine it!" the short detector stammered.

The captain suddenly realized: "No wonder you stayed in the room yesterday..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped. Everyone turned to look at the short detector's unchangeable clothes, their noses twitched, and they all looked disgusted and took a few steps away from him.

"..."

The glorious federal monitor's facial lines are as tough as steel, but if you look closely, you can see a faint twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Be serious, I'm interrogating you!

"Are you provoking me? Think I'm joking with you?!"

His eyes widened, he pulled out a gun and put it on the short detector's head, wanting to teach the other party a lesson and scare him. However, he paused and moved the muzzle slightly away, but he didn't dare to touch the short detector.

The soldier's skin was afraid of contaminating the gun.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't—" The short detector peeed both mentally and physically. His whole body was shaking like chaff, and his whole body went limp.

Harrison was also scared and quickly spoke: "Mr. Inspector, we are law-abiding and peace-loving. We never kill people or set fire. All we dig are ownerless relics. I really don't know what crime I have committed."

"Hmph." The Radiant Federation supervisor did not intend to embarrass this group of people. He took back his weapons, released the virtual projection of the triangular device, and said solemnly: "You dug up this unknown civilization relic not long ago and sold it at the auction.

But it was intercepted by star thieves on the way, and when the star thieves opened the safe device, a cosmic-level energy explosion occurred, which is why I came here."

Harrison's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, something happened!

My intuition was right, this thing is not simple, and it also caused me trouble in the future!

But he was not upset. Instead, he felt a sense of stimulation and excitement in his bones. Strong curiosity arose, and he couldn't help but ask:

"What's in that?"

"It is still unclear and the specific impact is being thoroughly investigated."

At this time, the captain couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute, we have already sold this thing, and we did not open the device. What crime have we committed?"

"That's right, we are innocent!"

"You can't frame good people falsely!"

Everyone immediately started shouting and showing indignation.

"Shut up."

The glorious federation monitor said coldly:

"The items you dug out from the ruins carry strong risks. Because of you, new disasters are likely to occur in the universe. If nothing else, it is perfectly fine to convict you of the crime of endangering public safety. It is enough to keep you safe.

Sit on it!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately shrank their eggs, lowered their heads, and focused on counting the ants on the ground... although there were no such creatures on the spacecraft.

The Radiant Federation supervisor snorted: "However, if you cooperate with our work, we will not hold you accountable for your unintentional mistakes. We are going to investigate the ruins. We need you to lead the way and check your flight logs. If you have any opinions,

?"

"No objection, no objection. It is our honor to work for the Federation of Radiance! I am the mechanical expert of this ship. If you need any help, please give me your orders and don't treat me like a human being!"

Seeing that the situation was not as serious as imagined, the short detector breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly used the skills he had honed countless days and nights to start licking skillfully, striving to provide the best service.

"Um..." The captain hesitated, "Are we going to leave a criminal record this time?"

The Radiance Federation supervisor was unimpressed, "That's for sure, but don't worry about it. As long as you hand over what you dig to the country in the future, there will be no problem."

Everyone: "..."

Hand it over to the state? Do we really want to turn into an archaeological team?!

It's too much. This is simply a threat to us and wants us to compromise? What a dream! We will never accept recruitment!

——Unless the Federation of Light pays us wages.

After reaching a consensus on physics, the group led the way and soon took the Radiant Federation monitors to the deserted planet where the triangular device was originally excavated, and found the previous coordinates.

Harrison pointed to the detection screen on the screen and said: "This is it. There used to be ruins of an unknown civilization similar to a military base here, but it collapsed when we left. There are also previous underground drilling videos here..."

The Radiant Federation supervisor nodded, let his subordinates land, and took out more advanced detection instruments to tinker with, but his expression changed slightly.

He did not expect that the detection results showed that there was no abnormality in the rock formations, it was all soil.

This doesn't make sense. Even if the ruins collapsed and were buried underground, there should be traces. However, in the pictures of these advanced detection instruments, there are no ruins in the rock formations below.

"Are you sure this is here?" The Glorious Federation supervisor frowned.

"That's right, you've also seen the flight log, right here." Harrison also looked surprised.

Such a magical scene aroused his curiosity again, and he couldn't understand how the ruins could disappear out of thin air.

Could it be that it was just a dream that they came here to dig things up, but the devices unearthed were real things, and there was something fishy about them everywhere.

Just as he was thinking about it, the glorious federal supervisor next to him seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he murmured to himself:

"Could this phenomenon be a high-dimensional information state interfering with reality..."

Harrison was about to turn around and ask, but saw the Glorious Federation inspector abandoning several people, running to the side, and hurriedly reported to his superiors.

Seeing the serious expression on the other party's face, Harrison had a bad feeling. It seemed that the problem was more serious than he imagined.

…

On the other side, the Covenant base.

Luo and Fei received the notice and came to the dim palace again to meet Vower.

"You are here?"

In mid-air, Vower's figure floated, lowered his head and spoke lightly, with a solemn tone in his tone.

The words contained a strong and oppressive mental fluctuation. Luo Yufei's body froze, and his heart became surprised.

The two of them have known Vower for a long time and are relatively familiar with his behavior. This behavior is obviously angry and has not happened for a long time.

The two couldn't help but look at each other and communicate with their eyes.

Luo (with doubtful eyes): The boss’s mood seems not quite right?

Fei (blinks): Maybe it’s because we didn’t reach a deal with Black Star.

Luo (brows furrowed): This won’t make the boss angry, there must be other reasons.

Fei (with curious eyes): What's the reason?

Luo (rolling eyes):...Do you think eyes can explain such a complicated content?

Fei (squinting): That makes sense.

The two exchanged glances, then lowered their heads to salute Vower and asked, "Chief, what's the matter?"

"Black Star knows our details!" Vower's angry voice echoed.

"What?!" The two of them were shocked and immediately panicked.

Could it be that because of the last sneak attack, Black Star found clues, which led to the leakage of organizational intelligence?

If that's the case, we two are the guilty of incompetence!

The boss specially called us here. Could it be that he wanted to punish us? That’s right, that’s probably the case!

The two thought they had figured out the boss's attitude. They were panicking and did not dare to hesitate at all. They bowed their heads in fear and took the initiative to admit their mistakes: "This is all our mistake. We made a big mistake and caused the organization to leak secrets. Please punish us!"

"

Vower glanced at the two of them, slowed down his tone, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't get me wrong, your actions have nothing to do with this matter. Black Star has long known about the existence of our organization."

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
