Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 586 : Section 582 - Small Dimensional Gate

After dealing with the "Plagiarist Ghost", Chen Fei immediately returned to his post. His mission was not to protect the mansion, but to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Princess Lin Ziyu Slan of the Slan Dynasty seemed very composed as she calmly asked, "What's the situation?"

"There was only one intruder, the others all need to be verified again!"

Chen Fei and Housekeeper Mars agreed that, after the incident where the "Plagiarist Ghost" disguised itself as one of the expert scholars, neither could guarantee that there weren't similar imposters among the other experts and scholars.

Even if they were not impostors, one could not rule out assassins using the identity of expert scholars as cover.

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" was repeatedly screening the identities of those expert scholars through the surveillance system.

"You did well!"

Lin Ziyu nodded her head, also letting out a sigh of relief.

For others, those who were capable might not be reliable, and those who were reliable might not be capable. The Slan Royal Family's network on Blue Star, aside from the Lin Family, could only turn to the Chen Family for the time being. Now, it seemed that the disciples of the Chen Family Gate were indeed dependable.

"Chirp!~"

Little Bird flapped its small wings and flew off Her Royal Highness the Princess's shoulder, excitedly landing on Chen Fei's shoulder. It cooed affectionately while pecking at the protective armor pieces of the "Dragon Guard" single soldier tactical armor, looking very much like a bird dependent on humans.

The "Plagiarist Ghost" had somehow copied a special ability that allowed it to repeatedly damage the constructed parts evolved by Chen Fei.

Fortunately, such damage was only temporary and could be restored immediately.

"Go back! Continue protecting Her Royal Highness."

Chen Fei used his fingers to hold Little Bird's claws and shifted it back to Princess Lin Ziyu's shoulder.

Perhaps trusting in the security state of Great Britain Island, the defensive forces within the private mansion of the princess were not very numerous.

Ordinary petty thieves probably couldn't even enter this district, and if they approached rashly, they might even get their legs broken.

Therefore, in need of finding trustworthy security personnel in a short time, it was only natural for Chen Fei, as a disciple of the Chen Family Gate, to be chosen.

"Chirp chirp!"

Little Bird called out unhappily, but did not fly back to Chen Fei. The little creature's advantage was that it was sensible.

It appeared that its closeness with Her Royal Highness was not as high as with Teacher Shen Fei.

Chen Fei straightforwardly asked, "Should the salon continue?"

Given the appearance of the attacker, it would be safest to cancel the salon in order to ensure the personal safety of Her Royal Highness.

"No, after the verification is over, the salon continues!"

Because she always harbored doubts, Lin Ziyu wanted to get answers from those expert scholars, or at least some valuable reference information.

In relation to the relationship between the two civilized planets, personal safety was actually not the most important thing.

As a member of the Slan Royal Family and also the ruling class of Cangqiong Star Civilization, she must take responsibility for the relationship between both civilizations.

So the salon was not canceled, and per the insistence of Princess Lin Ziyu, it would continue as originally planned.

"Alright! It's best to notify the local sovereignty to assist with the identity verification. From now on, no matter what happens, do not let Little Jiu leave you; it is our last line of defense."

Chen Fei said this last sentence while looking at Lize Jina.

The Female Shadow Guard who had grown up with the princess was still not as close as Little Bird, which immediately made her feel jealous.

A Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow, it would hardly be believable if it were spoken aloud.

Lin Ziyu cooperatively said, "No problem, I'll have Housekeeper Mars arrange it. Thank you for taking care of my safety."

The previous performance of this disciple of the Chen Family Gate completely warranted this trust.

Before Mars could notify the sovereignty authorities of Great Britain, a squad of armed personnel had already stationed themselves in the district, building a defensive line outside the private mansion of the princess.

The local sovereignty reacted promptly to the attack.

The number and positions of the unclear identity personnel watching the private mansion of the princess had changed.

The "Plagiarist Ghost" captured by Chen Fei was escorted away. The sovereignty side was not short of interrogation experts, and if they acted quickly enough, they might be able to unearth the mastermind behind the scenes before the Miyoshi Monk did.

The invited expert scholars were confused for quite a while before they finally learned about the recent attack. The one who had breached the gate was indeed the attacker disguised among them.

They each turned pale with fright, and those who were less courageous even excused themselves immediately, no longer daring to attend the salon that had not been announced as cancelled.

This was a salon where one literally risked their life to attend, and not everyone possessed such courage, especially since most scholars were civilians who had never faced danger.

The identification process was swift, encompassing fingerprint, iris patterns, facial infrared features, and DNA sequencing. After a thorough check, the scholars, who had been waiting outside the manor for a long time, were finally allowed into Her Highness Princess Lin Ziyu's private mansion.

"Plagiarist Ghost" was the sole attacker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, scholars, I apologize deeply, an unexpected incident delayed us for a while, but today's salon will go on as planned..."

As the host of the mansion, Princess Lin Ziyu personally greeted the scholars who were specially invited.

The attendees were somewhat unsettled; although most of them were academically minded, they could still imagine the disaster looming over Blue Star if the Princess of the Silan Dynasty were to perish in Great Britain, especially since the salon's topic was ironically about the "Thucydides Trap" between civilized planets.

Fortunately, the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and the culprit was subdued. The crisis between the two civilized planets dissipated, enhancing the salon's theme with a newfound sense of reality and making the discussion more profound.

No one wanted the "Thucydides Trap" to actually come true, considering both civilizations possessed the means to destroy planets. A dispute becoming uncontrollable could lead to mutual annihilation.

The theme salon lasted for three days and nights.

The scholars resided within the princess's private mansion, resting wherever they found space when tired, grabbing food from a 24-hour buffet when hungry, debating, agreeing, and colliding ideas in small or large groups.

Chen Fei was constantly by Princess Lin Ziyu's side, only handing over duty to Shadow Guard Lize Jina during essential rest periods.

With heavy security, there were no further attacks on the princess's private mansion.

Miyoshi Xuesen, along with his ninja team, hurried back to Hablav City in the central region of Yangzhou Continent, where they discovered the place holding a major convict.

Upon checking, a huge uproar was immediately caused.

Not only was the "Plagiarist Ghost" missing, but the records of custody and the system logs were thoroughly wiped clean; the day's files and surveillance videos were erased, leaving nothing but a blank space as if no custody ever occurred.

The only evidence of "Plagiarist Ghost's" custody were the memories of the guards on duty, yet no one could pinpoint when exactly the "Plagiarist Ghost" had escaped from prison, as if he had vanished into thin air.

If it weren't for "Plagiarist Ghost" getting recaptured by Chen Fei as if by fate after his escape, it might have taken Hablav City authorities a long time to notice they had mysteriously lost a prisoner.

Immediately, the detention facility was fully staffed with new personnel, and even the upper echelons of Hablav City were not spared from being cross-examined in turn.

Trying to bluff through professional interrogators and ability users was by no means an easy task.

This was no small matter!

If the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee couldn't even restrain a prisoner, Hablav City was basically as useful as a colander. What legitimacy did they have to stand on the front line against the mutant threat, stationed in the heart of Yangzhou Continent?

The prisoners held in Hablav City included individuals far more fearsome than "Plagiarist Ghost". If they all escaped, it would be a disaster no less devastating than a mutant city assault.

Thus, the entire Hablav City was thrown into chaos.

Having concluded the theme salon, Her Highness Princess Lin Ziyu of the Silan Dynasty decided to return to Cangqiong Star to confer with her brother, Crown Prince Lin Zio Slan, on how to smoothly resolve the current turmoil.

After sending off all the scholars, everyone in the princess's private mansion boarded a small Magic Cube Warship, escorted by twelve Crystal Jets, headed towards the nearest Dimensional Gate.

The world's largest Dimensional Gate, managed by the digital intelligence construct "Cybertrom" none other than "Halo", serves as the main passageway between the two civilized planets.

Other smaller Dimensional Gates, scattered across the surfaces of Blue Star and Cangqiong Star, were heavily guarded and usually remained closed, only opening when necessary.

These smaller gates, designed for high-profile individuals, facilitated instantaneous travel to the surface of another planet, bypassing the cumbersome atmospheric traversal process.

Armed with a permit, wearing "Dragon Guard" Single Soldier Tactical Armor, and carrying a Railgun Combat Rifle, Chen Fei followed behind Princess Lin Ziyu, stepping through a security checkpoint.

"Beep! Psychic Key validation passed."

As the AI alert sounded, the indicator light turned green.

It was Chen Fei's first visit to Cangqiong Star, and he was slightly nervous, though he hadn't anticipated that the entire process would rely on walking.

Approaching the smaller Dimensional Gate, security validations were extremely intricate, with at least eleven security devices within just fifty meters to verify identity, revealing any disguise.

The "Plagiarist Ghost" who had broken into the princess's private mansion days before would likely not have an easy time passing through these checkpoints.

"Blue Star Britannia Island Dimensional Gate successfully activated, interfacing with Cangqiong Star Cloud Heaven Continent Wanhua Valley Dimensional Gate, permitting passage."

The artificial intelligence AI leisurely guided the guest about to cross the Dimensional Gate to another civilized planet.

The majority of the smaller Dimensional Gates on the surface of Blue Star corresponded to continents on Cangqiong Star apart from Morning Star Continent, partly to disperse traffic load and partly to maintain strategic buffering, preventing a direct knockout strike, similar in rationale to the atmospheric "Halo".
