Chapter 984: Chapter 283: Assassination and Framing_3
Only the Star Domain head could clearly see the Thousand Faces in front of him, whose facial shell had shattered to reveal An Wuping’s face.
In the face of death, no matter how noble one’s identity, they could only tremble with fear like any ordinary person.
With ease, Thousand Faces thrust their right hand through the chest of the Star Domain head.
Outside, Chen Ming took no action.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stop it, but from the current distance, even if he realized what Thousand Faces was about to do, he could no longer stop it.
Unless he had reached the site before the entryway was breached to stop Thousand Faces from destroying the door.
Otherwise, once the Silent Alloy door inside was destroyed, the safe room filled with shadows could no longer provide any protection against Thousand Faces.
He couldn’t possibly protect an ordinary person in the hands of Thousand Faces.
All he did was vent his emotions just now.
It’s no wonder that Thousand Faces instructed him to board the spaceship first, and even had the spaceship fly away.
If he came, the Black Mist around him would be seen as evidence of Zuo Jing and An Wuping collaborating to assassinate the Star Domain head.
If he didn’t come, then the Star Domain head would certainly die.
Come or not, Chen Ming could only play along with An Wuping’s persona a little.
The only solution to this situation would be if he arrived early enough, he might be able to save the Star Domain head.
Though this would deepen Zuo Jing’s suspicion of him.
But between the death of a Star Domain head and being suspected by Zuo Jing, Chen Ming would rather choose to be suspected.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have a choice.
Thousand Faces once again transformed into Black Mist and appeared outside.
Chen Ming saw that the pitch-black shell on his body had almost completely regenerated, indicating that he indeed possessed some of the Insect Queen’s abilities.
Seeing that An Wuping was staying outside doing nothing, Thousand Faces said, "You’re a smart person too. The matter has already happened, and you can’t change anything."
"Unless you want to stay here and accompany this person to their grave. Let’s go."
The Black Mist enveloped them, and Thousand Faces disappeared underground, clearly intending to follow the spaceship where Chen Ming had been earlier.
Chen Ming didn’t immediately follow but instead looked back at the safe room where the Black Mist was gradually dispersing.
The matter had already happened.
Zuo Jing indeed dragged him into this mess.
The seriousness of assassinating a Star Domain head was not comparable to the previous minor matters.
Chen Ming felt that the evidence he left on the Space Station indicating An Wuping was a good person was not enough to extricate him from the assassination incident.
This couldn’t go on.
He must leave some evidence here, some evidence that wouldn’t be easily discovered.
Otherwise, once Zuo Jing obtained this evidence, as someone infiltrating Zuo Jing, he would certainly be targeted by Zuo Jing in return, especially potentially encountering Thousand Faces or other Psychics of Zuo Jing, leaving An Wuping with the possibility of being exposed.
Considering that Chen Ming still hadn’t figured out the limit of Thousand Faces’ Spiritual Energy.
Even though he had just slammed Thousand Faces into the wall, he couldn’t be sure if that was the extent of Thousand Faces’ abilities.
In the end, he still had to use his Spiritual Energy.
Chen Ming’s gaze turned to the corner nearby, where he used his Spiritual Energy to manufacture a monitoring device identical to those in the government building.
And recorded a video of Chen Ming and Thousand Faces’ conversation. Although the Black Mist had just enveloped them, the video could still clearly show both of them having An Wuping’s face, which should serve as part of the evidence.
Previously, Thousand Faces had framed him with photos, and this time, Chen Ming had prepared a contingency plan in advance as well.
However, this device was not to be discovered immediately.
Chen Ming used a bit of his Spiritual Energy to bury the device deeper underground.
He also caused additional damage to the wall next to it.
When the relevant personnel came to handle it, it would take at least a day or two to unearth this device from deep underground.
He then silently transformed into Black Mist and returned to the previous spaceship.
The spaceship fully entered the Cai Mo Star Realm just before the chaos triggered by the death of the Star Domain head erupted.
Chen Ming did not interact with Thousand Faces in the captain’s cabin, choosing instead to return to his room alone to contemplate.
The evidence he left underground in the government building wasn’t sufficient; he needed another piece of evidence, one that could have others vouch for him.
The boss had previously told him they wouldn’t intervene directly, so Chen Ming needed to choose someone else.
That left him with only one choice.
Someone from the Audan Government.
The Audan Government was the first group of people Chen Ming met under the identity of An Wuping.
And through the president, Chen Ming had confirmed that Audan had always been seeking him out, had some plans for him, and apparently employed some strange tactics.
Since the Audan Star Realm trusted him so much, providing intelligence to Audan now should lead them to selectively believe him.
And given the close connection between Audan and the president, Chen Ming could share some intelligence known only to An Wuping without directly contacting the president.
While Chen Ming wasn’t worried about the boss, he was concerned that direct contact by An Wuping might expose the situation to the president, so having an intermediary would be best.
Having thought it through, Chen Ming dialed the Anti-Cult Bureau once again.
"I’m looking for your Deputy Director."
Having had the experience of calling the Anti-Cult Bureau’s operator twice before,
This time, as soon as Chen Ming spoke, the voice lock program installed in the communication device directly connected Chen Ming’s call to the Deputy Director.
