Big Twin Moon

Lorraine went back. She took six months off work and Chen Sha brought her to have special training at the Big Twin Moon. They stayed at the district 1 castle on a mountain, other district's castle were nearby while the mountain peak was Consul's area.

Lorraine sent text message to Qian Xu "I will stay in Big Twin Moon for six months. There is a time difference between here and Alicata. When you contact me, I may not be able to reply promptly. "

Chen Sha had planned for her to learn not only strength training, but also shooting, spacecraft driving, survival skills and others. He left her with Su Qi, a slave mutant who assisted in his special training program.

Su Qi had Lorraine trained in the space simulator, she needed to get used to it first. But for a newbie, her body couldn't tolerate that much pressure of abrupt gravitational change, she ended up puked out a big pile in the first day and Su Qi made sure to broadcast it to Chen Sha.

The moment the video was shut down, Chen Sha noticed that Consul was already in the meeting room. He immediately stood up: "Consul."

Consul raised his hand, indicated him to sit: "High-intensity training may cause headaches and insomnia. You can suggest princess to drink a calmative with some Yin essence added."

"Yes."

Consul walked to his seat and sat down.

The intellectual brain in the meeting room confirmed their identities and asked: "It's time for the scheduled meeting, requested to start the meeting?"

"Start."

The virtual figures of Zong Li, Zi Yan, and Chu Mo appeared in the meeting room.

Zong Li said to Consul: "Before Zi Yan reports the investigation results, there's one matter I want to bring up."

"Please speak."   

Zong Li clicked on the screen above the conference table. Two three-dimensional images appeared in the meeting room. They were two damaged and deformed objects, unable to recognize their original shapes.   

The intellectual brain started a restoration simulator. On the screen could be seen that they gradually returned to their original state and became two identical syringes.

Zong Li said: "The syringe in image 1 was found in the ballroom of Consul's assassination. It was not clear what happened at that time, the syringe was automatically destroyed. The syringe in image 2 was found on the body of an assassin who attacked the princess. The assassin was shot violently at that time, the syringe happened to be hit by a bullet just right which caused an automatic destruction."

Chu Mo enlarged the syringe and suggested,

"This is a specially made syringe. In order to prevent others from analyzing components and function of the drug from the remaining liquid, it has a special automatic-destruction configuration. Complete drug injection will trigger automatic-destruction. Improper usage will trigger automatic-destruction. Improper storage will trigger automatic-destruction. I had tried all the methods, still couldn't examined the drugs inside.

Consul said: "The drugs inside may be not ordinary!"   

Chu Mo said: "Yes. We also have this kind of syringe. All the contained drugs absolutely could not be leaked out to outsiders."

Zong Li said: "Happen only once is just an occurrence, happen twice definitely has a cause. Since the syringe appeared twice and the princess was in both scenes, I suspect that they wanted to inject the princess. I want to inquire the princess some questions. Perhaps there may be clues to confirm my assumptions."   

Zi Yan asked: "What is the purpose of injecting drug to the princess?"

"It certainly couldn't be a common tranquilizer or poisons. My guess is that they want to destroy the princess's genes. If they succeed, the princess might die, might get sick, or might turn into a monster." Chu Mo sighed, "Each star nation is conducting secret genetic researches. I don't know what kind of awful research's results they came out with."   

The meeting room sank into silence.   

A moment later, Chen Sha's iced-cold voice uttered: "Don't let Lorraine know about this matter for now. I will ask her about the syringe."   

"I insist..." Zong Li wanted to oppose, but just he opened his mouth he saw Consul's warmthless gaze glared over. His scalp felt numb and could only change his word at the last moment, "...no comments."   

Zi Yan snickered and Consul glared at Zi Yan a glance. Zi Yan's smiling immediately vanished and quickly composed a respectful gesture.   

Consul asked: "What are the findings of the previous two incidents?"

Zi Yan said: "According to the crime pattern and method, we had sorted out sixteen mercenary forces that were capable for performing such tasks. Based on one of the assassin's accent, among the sixteen mercenary forces, we aim at The Butterfly unit of the m2-9 star region..."   

The intellectual brain began to present information of The Butterfly unit: the strength level of the force's captain and second in command, expertise, the planet where the force was located, the planet environment, the force size...

After the intellectual brain finished presenting, Zi Yan said: "Currently, it is impossible to know who hired The Butterfly unit. Do I need to send someone to infiltrate the unit to gather information?"

Consul said: "Too slow. I will go to m2-9 star region for a while."   

"What are you going to do?"   

Consul mentioned roughly: "If you get their central intellectual brain, then you should be able to know who paid the money."   

Zi Yan silently lit a row of candles to The Butterfly unit.   

When Chen Sha went back, it was already dinner time.   

Looking through a large window, he saw Lorrain sitting among the fiery rose bushes, holding a can of nutrients and drank it like medicine.   

Chen Sha took a cup of Deep Blue Green out and gave it to Lorraine.   

Lorraine shook her head and refused: "I feel nauseous when I see water."   

"Yin essence calmative can relieve fatigue and will help you to fall asleep. Rest well one night and tomorrow will be fine."   

Lorraine took the drink and put it aside: "I will drink after I finish the nutrients."   

She thought of Su Qi's words when she left the training ground and felt like each day in the future was so dark. "Tomorrow will not be better, Su Qi said, 'from tomorrow on, not only until you not vomit, you also had to complete the actions I requested in various situations.' "   

Chen Sha put his hands in his trouser pockets and suggested with expressionless face: "You can give up."   

Lorraine pulled a face: "Don't think about it!"   

Chen Sha turned on his personal terminal. An image of a syringe appeared in front of Lorraine.

"Have you seen this kind of syringe?"   

Lorraine took a closer look: "It's a bit familiar, but it doesn't seem to be the syringe I have seen in the research institute."   

"Perhaps it has something to do with Consul's assassination."

"Oh, oh... I remembered now. At the Consul's assassination that I was kidnapped that night, there's a woman who wanted to knock me out with this but I found out first." Lorraine proudly made a gesture of her movement at that time "I was like this, like this..., and all the drugs was injected back into her body."   

Chen Sha shut down the image without saying a word.   

Lorraine asked enthusiastically: "Why do you suddenly concern about a syringe? Is it an important clue?"

"Maybe."   

"Was there any result from your investigation? I saw Zi Yan wandered around all day long, not doing any proper work at all."

"Soon."   

Lorraine saw that he wasn't interested in chatting so she discreetly picked up Deep Blue Green and shook the cup at him: "Thank you for your drink, I'm going to take a rest now."   

Chen Sha's voice abruptly followed her behind: "Quickly raise your strength to level A, the sooner the better."   

Lorraine turned around in surprise. She looked up and down at Chen Sha and asked with a hippie smile, "Are you that impatient wanting to divorce me? Have you met a woman of your dreams already?"   

Chen Sha icy cold gaze stared at Lorrain.   

Lorraine shrank her neck and put on a good student face, said obediently, "I will work hard."
