Outside Mist Town, under the moonlit night, a figure slowly approached, finally standing on a small hill."Qin Tian, come out."Pfft~The soil beneath his feet loosened, and another figure drilled out from the ground."Officer Yan!"Qin Tian stood before Yan Qing, his heart surging with emotion, as if a lonely wanderer who had been away from home for a long time had finally found a place to rely on. A smile appeared on Yan Qing's face. He stepped forward, patted Qin Tian's shoulder, and said with feeling:"You've had it tough these past few days."He believed that Qin Tian was absolutely not someone who would harm his comrades. Therefore, he could imagine how panicked and struggling the young man must have felt when Qin Tian was wanted by the Ministry of Defense and his backer, Officer Yan, remained unreachable."Qin Tian, tell me, what exactly happened in Mist Town?" Yan Qing asked."Okay."Qin Tian nodded and recounted his experiences during this period in detail.Being inexplicably transferred to Mist Town, the provocations from the Ministry of Defense's Spiritual Energy Users, the probing during training, the observations at the banquet, the first time the mist descended, the Zerg's surprise attack on the town, Zhao Nuo's suicide, the arrival of the investigation team, and the Brain Worm deep underground. During the narration, Qin Tian concealed some details, mainly related to his own abilities, and also made some modifications to certain facts, but no important information was omitted."Brain Worm, are you sure it's a Brain Worm?"When he heard the word Brain Worm, Yan Qing's expression immediately became extremely solemn."I'm sure."Qin Tian pointed at the ground beneath his feet and said:"The Brain Worm's corpse is buried right here."After speaking, Qin Tian kicked the ground. Soil flew up, and pieces of the remains appeared before Yan Qing.Yan Qing squatted down, ignoring the putrid smell emanating from the pieces, and examined them carefully and meticulously."It really is a Brain Worm."Yan Qing's tone was filled with shock. Brain Worms were Zerg commanders. Hundreds of years had passed, and perhaps many people had forgotten how terrifying Brain Worms were.However, those in charge of these secret departments had undergone strict training and understood many historical facts that ordinary people could not access.The status of a Brain Worm was equivalent to that of an Empire General, or even a Marshal. It could command an army of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions of Zerg. At the same time, it could extract memories and intelligence from human captives.In the Zerg evaluation system, the priority for killing a Brain Worm was definitely among the top five. Many times, the Empire would even pay the price of a star fleet to kill a Brain Worm.And now, who would have thought that the future great threat to the Empire would be killed by Qin Tian."Qin Tian, you've made a great contribution."Yan Qing said with emotion."Really?"Qin Tian blinked. His understanding of Brain Worms came entirely from the StarNet, and the information was incomplete, so he didn't truly realize how terrifying Brain Worms were, nor did he consider how many people he had unknowingly saved by killing the Brain Worm."Of course. I dare say that once this matter is reported, you'll definitely get the rank of Colonel, and you won't be short on military merit points either." Yan Qing said seriously.Colonel was basically the peak of a military officer's normal promotion.From Colonel to Senior Colonel, it required not only military merit but also consideration of various other factors.Moreover, Qin Tian had been in the military for less than half a year. Even with great merit, jumping directly from soldier to Senior Colonel would inevitably cause much controversy.Qin Tian was at a disadvantage in terms of military rank, but in terms of military merit points, the Empire would definitely give appropriate compensation.Hearing this, Qin Tian gave a wry smile:"Officer Yan, I'm still a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Defense. Let's talk about the Colonel rank later. Lifting the wanted order is my top priority.""Don't worry, the evidence is conclusive, and the wanted order will be withdrawn soon."Yan Qing said:"Who do you think planned this whole thing? A mere Beast Tamer couldn't get multiple high-ranking Ministry of Defense officials involved.""The Wen Family, Wen Chengxian."Qin Tian said decisively: "After I arrived on Silver Gray Star, I haven't offended anyone except Wen Chengxian. Wen Chengxian has the ability and the motive to set a trap for me, so I'm certain that he planned this matter."In fact, from the White-robed Youth's memory, Qin Tian knew that this matter was not as simple as he made it sound. Both Wen Chengxian and the Wen Family were merely tools being used.The real mastermind was someone else.However, he couldn't reveal this situation to Yan Qing, as he couldn't explain how he obtained the information.Furthermore, he believed that Yan Qing must have heard the loopholes in his statement just now, but simply didn't expose him directly.Therefore, the best course of action was to first pin the blame on the Wen Family, drawing all attention to them, and then use some means to have the Seventh Bureau pinpoint the real mastermind.Don't forget, he still had a trump card he hadn't used.That was the Night Demon Apostle, Li Qi, whom he had taken as a subordinate. Li Qi held a lot of evidence of the Wen Family's illegal activities.The Wen Family. A hint of coldness flashed in Yan Qing's eyes. He had previously felt that the Wen Family had overextended their reach, having close private ties with multiple high-ranking Ministry of Defense officials and often treating the Empire's army as their private force.However, since the Wen Family did not belong to the military system, the Seventh Bureau had no jurisdiction.But the situation was different now. Wen Chengxian actually collaborated with a deranged Beast Tamer to secretly cultivate a Brain Worm.If this matter was confirmed, the Wen Family's good days would be over, and those high-ranking military officials entangled with the Wen Family would also likely face dismissal or even imprisonment."Officer Yan, the soldiers of the 137 Camp and all the residents of Mist Town must have Soul-Possessing Worms or Soul-Devouring Worms in their brains. Additionally, I suspect that the three members of that investigation team also have Soul-Possessing Worms in their bodies."Qin Tian said slowly: "This evidence should be enough to clear my name, right?""Don't worry."Yan Qing smiled: "The turmoil this matter can cause will exceed your imagination. What is a small wanted order compared to that?"Is that so? Qin Tian felt relieved. His goals were simple: first, to clear his name so he could live a normal life, and second, to retaliate against Wen Chengxian and completely bring down the Wen Family.As for the rest, he would leave it to Yan Qing to handle."Qin Tian, I'll take over from here."Yan Qing said seriously: "The wanted order will be withdrawn soon. During this time, continue to stay hidden and ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ wait for my notification.""I estimate that within five days at most, the Ministry of Defense Inspection Group and the Tribunal will arrive on Silver Gray Star. You will need to cooperate with the investigation then.""Understood!"Qin Tian nodded. He could tell that Yan Qing seemed to want to make a big move, which was exactly what he wanted.Whether it was the Wen Family or the high-ranking officials in the military targeting him, it would be best if they all fell together.However, there was one thing he needed to prepare for in advance.The Military Inspection Group and the Tribunal would not, like Yan Qing, overlook the loopholes in his statement. So, next, he needed to carefully plan how to reasonably explain his various abilities.
