The media of the Empire of Sintes exploded!

Once the news was spread on the Star Web, it could no longer be kept a secret.

Someone actually dared to directly block the live broadcast signal in front of tens of billions of people and tried to kidnap an intelligent life with a modified D41 combat robot. This extremely arrogant attitude completely angered the public!

Were criminals these days so blatant?!

And in the capital of the Imperial Planet, it was simply unbelievable.

The media calculated that if this topic spread a little, they wouldn't have to worry about the headlines for at least a week.

The citizens of the Star Web were even more agitated. After the media released the high-definition holographic projections of the four people who were knocked unconscious by the Yue An, the resumes of the four people were completely stripped clean in less than an hour.

Combined with the fact that someone provided evidence that the incomplete symbol on the D41 combat robot's forelimb weapon did indeed belong to the Research Department, it suddenly poked a hornet's nest.

Humans always yearned for scientific progress. In the era of the Big Universe, every step forward in all aspects of human science proved that humans had taken a big step forward on the difficult road of survival.

The vast majority of people held a mentality of reverence and faith for those geniuses who stood at the peak of intelligence and made contributions to humanity. However, after such a belief collapsed, it brought incomparable pain to the people who once trusted and respected them.

Four veterans of the Research Department fearlessly cut off the communication signal in front of tens of billions of people, trying to use a highly lethal robot to capture an intelligent life form!

The only intelligent life form left from ancient Earth!

This was definitely not something that the people they revered and believed in should do!

The citizens watched all of this happen with their own eyes, incomparably angry but powerless to stop it.

The Star Web was agitated. People organized and petitioned on the only external homepage of Marshal Ji Xiuyun, hoping that the Marshal would allow the Yue An to maintain a certain level of contact with the outside world when he couldn't accompany the Yue An. If the Yue An went missing or an accident happened, it would be immediately detected.

The remnant of ancient Earth not only had scientific research value, it was also a spiritual symbol!

This was a trace of the existence of humanity's first home planet, the origin of humanity!

This was a matter of faith.

Even if they weren't from the Empire of Sintes, they didn't want anything to happen to the cats from ancient Earth.

Ji Xiuyun was also worried about Yue An's safety.

However, in Yue An, they could do whatever they wanted. Sometimes, when they were tired from playing, they would start a live stream before going to bed. Once they started a live stream, they would sleep for more than ten hours.

Sometimes, it would be a live broadcast of a meal, and then it would be turned off after eating.

With money, the Yue An could do whatever he wanted. According to Marshal Kevin's friendly reminder, he had already encountered the white furball in various corners of the residential area.

Coupled with the fact that Yue An had come out to eat today, Marshal Ji didn't even need to think to know that this little dumpling was probably ambitious and wanted to wander outside.

This sort of thinking, Ji Xiuyun could completely understand.

However, Marshal Ji was inexplicably confident that no matter how ambitious Yue An was, he would definitely come back to look for him.

This was because even though Yue An had wandered around the entire residential area, he would still run back home to wait for Ji Xiuyun every day before he came back.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun looked at the petition under his social media page and handed it over to Yue An, who was lying on his lap and yawning, to decide.

Yue An could sense that Ji Xiuyun was in a bad mood today. On the way home from the restaurant, Yue An recalled how he used to make its first owner laugh when she was unhappy. On the way home, he was very clingy and kept snuggling into Marshal Ji Xiuyun's arms.

Now that he was tired of snuggling, he laid on Marshal Ji Xiuyun's lap and rolled around while yawning.

Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun's interface. He wagged his tail and blinked sleepily. All he saw was the word "live stream" that appeared frequently on the interface.

He casually extended his paw and clicked on the live stream button. He let out a perfunctory "meow" at the mini camera that flew out from Marshal Ji Xiuyun's optical computer. Then, he laid down on Marshal Ji Xiuyun's lap and fell asleep happily.

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

You fell asleep just like that??

Marshal Ji Xiuyun was momentarily at a loss as to what to do when he saw the live stream and the comments that popped up.

Yue An was sleeping soundly with his paws facing the sky. Marshal Ji Xiuyun was left staring coldly at the camera that his cat had turned on. He was in a dilemma whether to turn it off or not.

The viewers who were watching the live stream were shocked when they saw Ji Xiuyun's face. They only came back to their senses when Marshal Ji Xiuyun changed the camera's focus to Yue An.

[I was scared to death when I saw Marshal Ji Xiuyun.]

[Ah, I'm relieved to see that Xiao Yu An isn't scared … I'll give you my wallet to comfort him.]

[He was so careless that he fell asleep. When I saw the news, Marshal Ji was really angry. He grabbed the Research Minister's collar and dragged him forward. He was so angry that the veins on his hands were popping out.]

[Xiao Yu An was brought back by Marshal Ji Xiuyun after all …]

[That's right. He was brought back after the attack. Xiao Yu An must have accompanied Marshal Ji Xiuyun through a difficult time.]

[Maybe Xiao Yu An saved Marshal Ji Ji Xiuyun!]

Ji Xiuyun looked at the comments in silence as he pinched Yue An's paw from time to time.

He had indeed survived because of Yue An.

Even if he had landed in the best hospital on the Imperial Planet, he might not have been able to survive such an injury.

Even now, Ji Xiuyun didn't know how Yue An had saved him.

When he opened his eyes, Yue An was already squatting on his belly and looking at him. He was a small, white ball, cute and soft.

There were intelligent races in the universe with special talents, but none of them were as diverse and amazing as Yue An.

Yue An's talents were too scary and too tempting.

Putting aside the fact that Yue An was extremely aggressive and sudden, just based on the fact that Yue An was able to pull a severely injured person back from the brink of death, and even get rid of the old diseases in the body and give the person a new lease of life, even if he was the emperor, he would not be able to keep Yue An.

The soldier with a cold expression gently rubbed the little creature lying on his lap and sighed silently in a place where no one could see.

Therefore, he couldn't say anything.

It would be best if he didn't even know. There were too many ways to pry open a person's mind. The Marshal wasn't sure if those lunatics in the Imperial Research Department had come up with anything crazy.

[AHHHHH! I'm going to die from anger!

Those idiots in the virtual community! How can they be so reasonable when they steal a cat?!]

[They even said that it was natural to capture Yue An. How can they say that those who aren't of our race have ulterior motives? How can they not be nice and kind??]

[… They didn't capture him, right? What are you angry about?]

[If Xiao Yu An wasn't so strong, he would be lying on the test bed right now, okay??]

[What else can the Imperial Research Department do if they steal a cat?

Touch him???]

[Experiment? Why don't you go to heaven if you use intelligent life as an experiment?!]

[Exactly. If they dare to use a cat today, will they dare to use humans tomorrow?]

[Don't you know that the Imperial Research Office has been using death row prisoners to experiment on the effects of drugs??

Where do you think all those special drugs come from?

There's nothing wrong with them using humans for experiments!

If they can do it with humans, why can't they do it with cats?]

[They are not allowed to experiment on innocent intelligent life!

Innocent!

Go back and read the Basic Law three hundred times!

Stupid idiots!]

[To be honest, the Marshal has always hated the Imperial Research Department. Just thinking about the fact that Marshal Ji is the only SS-level Gene Body is terrifying.]

[… What the f * ck??]

[Wait a minute?

Don't be like this???]

[Speaking on behalf of my classmate in the Imperial Research Department, he said that he didn't know anything special about the situation. Suddenly, the entire department's operations were suspended and they were ordered to undergo an inspection. All the ordinary members were sent back. When he came back, he was shocked when he went on the Star Web.]

[I feel sorry for the innocent little genius.]

[No, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Marshal Ji's attitude towards the Imperial Research Office is fishy. I don't see him rejecting other private research institutes.]

[He used to be an external logistics officer in the army. From what I remember, when the Marshal was still a lieutenant general, he ran around the military and various private research institutes. He even refused to be contracted by the Imperial Research Office for general inspection of military officers. At that time, he was still under Marshal Kevin. Marshal Kevin gave him the green light for such behavior.]

[… Holy sh * t, I smell something bad.]

Mr. Marshal read these comments and raised his eyebrows.

If they continued to speculate like this, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that something big would happen. However, Ji Xiuyun was very happy to see this and did not want to stop them from thinking about it.

The Yue An incident must teach the head of the Imperial Research Department a lesson. If the public opinion could be one-sided in favor of the Yue An, it would be the best thing that could happen.

In the beginning, those people did not treat him as a human being. Now, it was time for them to have a taste of their own medicine.

[Is there anyone related to human research projects who can share with us what an SS-level gene body means to people like you?]

[It means a treasure waiting to be exploited. Every day, the seniors in our research institute think about when Marshal Ji will die and pray that he won't die outside. His body must be properly recovered.]

[It's the same for the seniors in our research institute. They're always thinking about when they can get a sample of Marshal Ji's blood for research.]

[Oh my god … You guys are so creepy.]

[Thoughts are just thoughts. Who would dare to actually do that …]

[Yes, thoughts are just thoughts. That's why Marshal Ji has never had such a big problem with private research institutes that only have 'thoughts'.

However, if they do take action, then his attitude will be different. For example, the Imperial Research Office.]

[Shut up!!]

[Don't forget, Marshal Ji is still in a lawsuit with the Minister of Scientific Research today because his former deputy accused the Minister of Scientific Research of instigating him to steal Marshal Ji's blood sample.]

[… Horrified.]

[Don't, don't, don't, don't make wild guesses. Marshal Ji is still watching.]

[… Ah, Marshal Ji?]

[Marshal Ji Ji?

Are our guesses right or wrong? Can you give us an answer?]

[Don't make things difficult for Marshal Ji. The Minister of Scientific Research has been giving the Minister of Scientific Research a hard time for so long, but the Minister of Scientific Research hasn't been defeated yet. It's obvious that there's someone in the Minister of Scientific Research backing them!]

[Isn't silence usually a tacit agreement?

If this is really a case of dirty water, based on the most basic moral standards, Marshal Ji would have come out to deny it, right?]

[Please don't really admit it. If that's the case, I'm afraid we're in deep trouble.]

[I just hope you don't dismiss the Scientific Research Department. Only the top few people are qualified to come into contact with SS-level gene bodies. Resources are limited, and noobs are not qualified to come into contact with this kind of experimental operation. Even the cell tissues cultivated from corpses are not qualified to come into contact with it!]

[Wow, if you put it that way, doesn't that mean we can even narrow down the scope of the criminal group?

The higher-ups of the Scientific Research Department?]

Ji Xiuyun was not surprised that someone was coveting his corpse. Instead, he was a little surprised by the vast number of people who were able to diverge their thoughts into this in such a short time.

How were these people so smart?

They were so smart that Ji Xiuyun felt that the Scientific Research Department would be letting down the wisdom of the masses if they did not fail this time.

After all, he had resolutely decided to drag the Minister of Scientific Research to the Yue An. However, the military court ruled that he had left the court without permission and dismissed the case.

He had suffered such a great loss. How could the people in the Scientific Research Department not lose a layer of skin?

The reality was just as he thought.

On the fifth day of the clamor of public opinion, due to public pressure, the government finally announced that the three senior members of the Imperial Research Office's Human Scientific Experiment Group had been suspended for investigation and the Minister of Scientific Research had resigned.

This was the Empire's way of appeasing public opinion and also a show of sincerity to Ji Xiuyun.

What it meant was that the Empire had taken these four people down. Ji Xiuyun, please come out and clarify the public opinion about the Scientific Research Department. Tell those unruly people to stop messing around.

For the Empire, any top scientist was a precious asset. They could not afford to lose them.

However, they could not afford to lose a general who was so good that he could lead an army to conquer a galaxy.

After all, Ji Xiuyun was the only one who had appeared in two thousand years. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to hold their noses and bear with it.

Marshal Ji glanced at the pile of emails in his address book and picked out the one from the Emperor's secretary.

After glancing at it, he replied with three questions: [Three?

Suspended for investigation?

Resigned?]

The meaning of his words was very simple.

[There are only three. I'm not satisfied.

Only suspended for investigation? I'm not satisfied.

Only resigned? I'm not satisfied.]

[In any case, I'm not satisfied. You guys can do whatever you want.]

After sending the letter, Marshal Ji Xiuyun put on his military cognitive helmet and entered the virtual training ground with his cat.

Yue An had been acting a little strange these days. Not only was he suddenly very enthusiastic about training, but he also kept asking Marshal Ji Xiuyun to experiment with all kinds of special talents.

It seemed like he was intentionally training his control. At least, Marshal Ji Xiuyun could clearly sense Yue An's improvement from the pain he had experienced these past few days.

Yue An was indeed working very hard to train his control of spirit energy and spells. He did not even have to think about who was the most resistant person in the entire military.

He was training his control so that he could better practice the spells he wanted to use.

For example, enlarging, shrinking, levitating, invisibility, and Universe in the Sleeve.

For the past few days, Marshal Ji Xiuyun had lived a terrifying life where his cat would suddenly shrink or expand when he turned his head.

Over the past few days, he would often feel strange movements in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes, he would see his cat floating in the air like a salted fish. It was simply frightening.

As for the 500 energy crystals stored at home, they flowed into Yue An's stomach like water.

Later on, Ji Xiuyun saw a part of Yue An's body suddenly turn transparent. Ji Xiuyun's heart did not even skip a beat. Ji Xiuyun quickly got up and brought over all kinds of detection equipment to see what Yue An was up to.

Although he was very happy that Yue An had started to train his talent, Marshal Ji Xiuyun felt that spending a few months on the battlefield was not as tiring as spending time with Yue An.

The exhausted Marshal Ji Xiuyun lay on the bed and stretched out his hand to pat Furball. However, he touched nothing.

He was probably hiding somewhere in stealth mode again.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun thought to himself.

"Yue An?" Ji Xiuyun shouted in the empty room.

Furball used to jump out when he shouted, but this time, it did not move at all.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun's heart tightened. He sat up and shouted again.

Still, there was no reply.

Ji Xiuyun lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. Then, he turned on his optical computer and browsed through Yue An's recent search history.

Imperial Research Office.

Imperial Research Office Research Institute Security Equipment.

Imperial Research Office Museum Opening Schedule.

Imperial Research Office.

Now, it was obvious why Yue An had been practicing those strange talents recently.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun quickly turned on the surveillance camera in the garage. When he saw that the seat of the bright red car was empty, his face immediately darkened.
