Chapter 32 Jack and the Ghost

The next morning, Juan was in the lobby and saw Soma getting angry at the deputy security captain who took over Jack's job.

"Waste! They are all waste! Isn't it just a red code? You can't handle such a simple thing?!"

"What's the matter, Soma?" Juan leaned over.

"Let him speak for himself. You, report the situation to the incoming head of the planet."

The deputy security captain in charge of the work saluted Juan: "Hello, head of state!"

"Serving the Alliance. Tell me, what's going on?"

"Early this morning, Jack drove a floating off-road vehicle out of the Pioneer Station building, and he took the 'Ghost' away."

"Ghost? I seem to have heard this name somewhere?"

A black iron triangle emerged silently in Juan's mind. In the background, the distant mountains were twisting in the heat wave.

Juan shuddered.

"Damn it! He took the Ghost away!

"You actually let him take away the 'ghost'!!

"How could you let such a dangerous weapon fall into his hands?!

"Oh my god, it's over now, the end of the world has arrived!"

"Head of State, Your Excellency, please don't worry, the situation is still under our control."

"Shit! That guy has this weapon. It's easier to kill me than a chicken! And you tell me not to worry?! Ha!!"

"Your Majesty the Head of State, please allow me to explain, Jack can use 'Ghost' to kill chickens, but there is absolutely no way he can use 'Ghost' to kill you.

"Even when you stand with a chicken, he can't even kill the chicken."

"Am I discussing killing chickens with you now?! I mean, do you know how dangerous Jack is right now?!"

"Jack shouldn't be in danger now. With the 'Ghost' in hand, the indigenous residents can't threaten him."

"You, you, you, do you understand people's words? Did I mean that? I'm going to be so pissed off by you!"

"Calm down, Juan, don't get excited. These security guards have been living with the natives all year round, and they are really not very bright.

"But I think there must be a reason why he said that Jack can't kill you with the 'ghost'."

"Yes, webmaster, we have entered the information of all humans on the planet into the 'Ghost' identification system, and set up an order prohibiting firing on these humans.

"This order is the highest level and can only be modified by the security department in our building. Jack cannot modify it outside."

"Are you sure?" Juan pointed to his fluorescent green hair, "I have dyed my hair, the 'ghost' won't admit it, right?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Head of State, when you entered the building, the facial recognition system did not recognize you wrongly, and neither did the 'ghost'."

Juan immediately ran to the door of the building and brushed his face.

He ran out dejectedly and came back angrily.

Then he walked out crying, and then walked in laughing.

Juan's crazy behavior attracted the attention of the humanoid creatures in the hall to him.

Several two-headed demon servants began to follow suit. One of them laughed, another cried, one became angry, and another sighed.

They thought it was fun and even danced for joy.

Juan had no time to care about them. He covered his eyes, nose, and mouth with his hands, and finally covered them all, leaving only a head of fluorescent green hair exposed.

But the face-scanning probe accurately recognized him every time.

Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he complained: "Jack is no longer the security captain, why can he still control the 'Ghost'?"

The deputy security captain said awkwardly: "Jack's immigration was a bit sudden. We forgot to change his green identification code in the 'Ghost'."

He then made amends: "But now we have changed Jack's identification code from green to red.

"And we have set up a no-fly zone with a radius of 10 kilometers. When the 'Ghost' reaches this area, it will automatically return."

"So Jack is 10 kilometers away from here?"

"Yes, he went to the tree elf reservation."

Juan thought of the tree elf elders who were hanged.

It seems that this bastard went to the tree elf to vent his anger again.

Juan thought with some worry that with Jack's current anger and the killer weapon 'Ghost', the tree elves might be exterminated.

I wonder if the tree elf queen Moss Baenre is in danger?

Just when Juan was thinking this, Moss Baenre's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Don't worry, we are all safe."

Juan looked back in shock, seeing a wall blocking his sight.

But he could feel that Moss Baenre was in this direction and not far away from him.

Juan thought about the mutual interaction between embryo and seed milk mentioned by Mercy Bainry.

Juan, relieved, brought the topic back to Jack: "Isn't it illegal for Jack to do this? How long can he be sentenced to for stealing weapons?"

Soma said: "According to alliance law, if you do this on the main star, it will be the death penalty.

"On a colonial planet, it depends on the consequences.

“If the consequences are serious, the sentence may be life.

"But if it's just polluting the environment and harming flowers and plants, the penalty will be much lighter.

"If he hires a good lawyer, he might be able to get a suspended sentence and not even have to go to jail."

"Suppose he exterminated the tree elves, what would be the consequences?"

"Didn't I say that you won't be punished severely for polluting the environment?"

"This is not pollution of the environment, this is mass killing. Even if the tree elves are not protected by the alliance's laws, they are after all..."

"I know what you mean. Considering that large-scale killings will definitely harm some small animals such as rats, the Animal Protection Law can be invoked to convict him.

"But after all, hunting is allowed on our planet, and the other party's lawyer may dismiss this charge."

Juan's face looked a little ugly.

Soma persuaded: "It's not that I won't help you, but the pioneering station has not been cancelled. If I convict Jack, the autonomous committee will be automatically dissolved due to insufficient legal numbers, and our plan will be over.

"So please bear with me for the time being and wait until I leave on the Soyuz spacecraft and you will officially take office.

"As the head of the planet at that time, you could convict Jack of any crime. Of course, the premise is that it does not conflict with the laws of the Alliance."

"But how do I know that the laws I enact do not violate Alliance law?"

"Didn't you read the information I packaged and sent to you? It contains all the laws of the Alliance."

"Does it take a lifetime to read that thing?"

"How about you find a lawyer and ask."

"But I don't know any lawyers."

"Let me introduce you to one. Although he is best at handling divorces, he also knows a little bit about other matters. However, his fees are quite expensive. He charges by the second."

An electronic business card was sent to Juan's brain chip.

"Okay, I'll find him if necessary."

Juan glanced at the price of 100 alliance coins per second on the business card and gave up the idea of ​​contacting him.
