Hello, Arknights

Chapter 326: Liquidation; Abnormality

"The Platinum Knight actually fled from the Candle Knight without a fight! He gave up! Choosing to give up in the sacred special tournament means that he will never be able to return to the stage. How could the Platinum Knight be as cowardly as his defeated opponent?! Could it be that the rumor is -"

"Tell Mob to finish the game commentary as soon as possible." McGee's face was gloomy. The abnormal behavior of the Platinum Knight was really unexpected. He even thought that he would break the weapon on the field or ignore him and skip the game to express his resistance, but the current situation was really unexpected. He followed every requirement of the contract, brought the designated weapon to the field, had a "remarkable" performance, and lost to the Candle Knight Viviana... But the development of things was so ridiculous. He just thought that the Platinum Knight's behavior was ridiculous. Doing this didn't change anything. It was just a spiritual victory and it had no effect on them.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, today seems to be the day of the Helmetless Alliance's action..." McGee finally understood the key point he had overlooked, and guessed who was the person standing next to the Platinum Knight and holding his hand that day, and deliberately lowered his head to avoid attracting undue attention. No matter how hard he thought, he would never have thought that the Platinum Lord of the Helmetless Alliance, who was the "natural enemy of the Knights", actually had a private relationship with the Platinum Knight.

The name "Platinum Knight" was too straightforward, so straightforward that it was naive to suspect that the new knight with this name - or someone from outside - was related to the local killer.

But he was so bold, and the suspicious murder happened to Platinum Lord at this critical juncture.

Finally, the context of the incident was sorted out, but McGee came to the conclusion that Platinum was in rebellion. He immediately asked to contact the director of the Commercial Federation who was responsible for this part. He could not let the scandal that happened last time happen again.

After mobilizing additional armed forces from the board of directors and issuing orders to hunt down Platinum, he was still worried and planned to go and see the situation in person.

"I'm sorry, Mr. McKee. I think you need to prioritize something else." Charney appeared in front of McKee with a smile and handed him a document. His eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions and he smiled meaningfully:

"Red Wine Newspaper was exposed for creating false public opinions with solid evidence, which had a significant impact; Rose Newspaper was suspected of bribery of a large amount of money and private interference in the election of board members..." Charne sneered. He knew that the people who stood in the same position as him had a lot of criminal records, but after being accurately exposed by an unknown person and with solid evidence, even the Red Wine Newspaper, which had repeatedly committed suicide on the front line, could not escape this time, because -

"Are there not enough of these groundless reports? Charney, are you——"

"There is all sorts of physical evidence about several spokespersons and directors, including you, Mr. McGee, suspected of abusing power. You assigned assassins to kill the heir of a certain Chamber of Commerce shareholder. The evidence has been directly delivered to the Grand Knight of the Supervisory Commission. As for the witnesses..." Charne had no sense of crisis at all. McGee suspected that he was involved, but it was impossible for Charne to know so many things and to know them in such detail!

"You know, we didn't pay much attention to certification when we brought down some people. It was enough for someone to stand up."

"Charne, even if you bring us down this time, how much benefit can you get? Can you take it all?" When McGee saw the people from the Supervisory Commission appear at the end of the corridor, he knew that he would not be able to continue to interfere in other matters in the short term. "Why are you doing this? Are you helping that kid too?"

After he finished speaking, even he found it ridiculous. He thought that one must be so angry that he would say such a funny thing.

As expected, Charne shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "I am a Casimir, and I do this for Casimir."

McKee did not put up any unnecessary resistance. After the Ombudsman controlled him, he turned to Charney and said, "Mr. Charney, please wait for the interrogation in the near future. Although you have a good attitude, we will treat all the charges against you equally."

"Of course." Charne behaved quite obediently, which was why he was not controlled immediately.

Who provided this evidence? The instigator was, of course, Quan Zhang and Suo Luo, who were connected to the Red Wine News.

With such frequent contacts with the Red Wine News, Planster naturally obtained a lot of intelligence without the Red Wine News noticing, and the execution ability of the Scepter and the Institute has always been efficient. As long as there was evidence of handles that these spokespersons had not completely cleared up, she sent people to dig out. As for why she targeted so many people at the same time... She certainly did not want to bring down all of these people. Even if the evidence was conclusive and the turmoil was not small, she was very clear that there would inevitably be a considerable number of people who would not receive too much substantial punishment. It's just that now it's time to close the net, and she received a considerable reward from the Monitoring Committee before the experiment officially began.

Her attitude towards Casimir was indifferent, even though she was a nightmare.

"How is it? I said I would take care of our daily expenses during our stay in Casimir, right? I told you to build as much as you can, and now that we have calculated it, there is still some left." Planster smiled at his subordinates, but soon put away his smug look and answered the call: "Ibus, how is it going?"

“We are always available for cooperation.”

"Okay, we still need to connect the nodes here. The calculation results show that it will take about 26 minutes and 57 seconds. Be sure to remember the exact time."

"Understood... Planster, your side is the key, and there must be no mistakes." Ibus said in a deep voice, "We know very little about the information sea. I always feel that we seem to have been calculated... It's a bit too smooth."

"...I will be more cautious."

Planst knew that his worries were not unfounded. The advancement of the "Storm Sword Project" was faced with many obstacles, and the time and energy consumed were several times more than the "Relocation Project". Even this experiment still had no absolute certainty. In comparison, their progress was really too smooth.

"Everyone, cheer up. There may be unexpected changes in this experiment."

Plot Zero.

Furong hurriedly found the block leader and said, "Sir, something is wrong. All the infected people in Ward 7 are missing!"

The person in charge was somewhat disapproving: "These guys are like this, they don't listen, and they always like to stir up trouble. If they don't cause any trouble, just ignore them."

"No sir, I was a little anxious and expressed myself incorrectly. Ward 7 is completely gone!"

"what?"

An atmosphere that made people feel physically uneasy filled the space, and then it began to vibrate, like a small earthquake that made the glass windows hum and almost shatter, except that such vibrations appeared in every visible place on Plot Zero.

"What's going to happen?" At this moment, both the infected and non-infected people in Plot Zero felt equally uneasy.

It was as if countless invisible eyes were looking aggressively at this space.
