Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Chapter 543 Return to the Main Star

Zhou Zhi pressed his eyebrows.

It was as if he was calming the suppressed emotions deep in his heart.

He lowered his eyes.

After seeing the name on the communicator, she was startled for a moment. After a moment, she reluctantly picked up the communicator. The voice sounded a bit dry and hoarse, "Mom."

"Is there something wrong?"

Madam Zhou's haggard and pale face appeared on the light screen above the communicator. She coughed a few times before she smiled. "Nothing serious."

"Just a little worried about you."

"What have you been doing outside all this time? If you're done with your work, why don't you come back? I don't know how long my mother can live..."

Zhou Zhi frowned.

He first answered his mother's previous question briefly.

"Looking for someone."

Very important person.

But it hasn't been found yet.

After that, he raised his light gray eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhou. His eyes were as cold and sharp as ever, just like the surface of an ice lake, and they looked intimidating when he looked at people.

Normally, if a person is looked at a few times, he or she will become insignificant and mistakenly think that he or she is a prisoner being tortured.

"also."

"Mom, you should live a long time."

At this point, he lightly recounted the news he had heard from the guards, "The guards who stayed in the palace said..."

"You have a good appetite and sleep well. In addition to shopping and partying with friends every day, you also participate in some extreme sports, such as high-altitude bungee jumping and deep diving. I see that your itinerary seems to have..."

This sentence has not yet been finished.

Mrs. Zhou coughed loudly several times, trying to suppress Zhou Zhi's cold voice, "Cough cough cough!"

She rubbed her nose awkwardly.

He thought that his every move could not escape the eyes of his son.

If it is normal.

Mrs. Zhou probably wouldn't say anything after being exposed by Zhou Zhi, but this time she was determined to coax Zhou Zhi back to attend the royal banquet. After all, so many people were waiting in the palace.

and.

She will not be able to let go of her worries until Zhou Zhi's lifelong issue is resolved.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhou still spoke with gritted teeth, "Well... after doing too much extreme sports, my body is showing some discomfort. If you are free, please return to the main planet and meet me."

"After all, I am old too."

"The days we meet will become fewer and fewer, so I won't say more... Anyway, you should come back soon. If you don't come back, don't say you are my son."

After saying this.

Mrs. Zhou quickly hung up the communicator.

The maid who was waiting on the side quickly brought a wet towel and makeup remover, and removed the sickly makeup on Mrs. Zhou's face. Soon, Mrs. Zhou's face became clean.

Although she is about forty or fifty years old.

But the average life expectancy of interstellar people is relatively long, and she takes good care of herself and exercises regularly on a daily basis.

So your complexion looks good.

Madam Zhou put a mask on her face and couldn't help but complain to her close maid, "I don't know what kind of person Zhou Zhi wants to find. Looking at his expression just now, he won't be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

The maid gently comforted Madam Zhou, "You have held a banquet for His Majesty, so let His Majesty choose carefully at the banquet. There will always be a type that His Majesty likes."

Let me talk about this.

Mrs. Zhou became even more melancholy, "I don't know if he will come back."

Although she had just been unreasonable, her son was a man of his own ideas and had strong opinions. Once he made a decision, no one could change his mind. Even if she didn't rush back to the main planet, she would have no way to deal with him.

And the other side.

Zhou Zhi was indeed not planning to return to the main planet.

In fact, even if he left the main planet, what happened on the main planet was still within his control, so the news of Mrs. Zhou hosting a royal banquet naturally reached Zhou Zhi's ears.

No need to guess.

This is a blind date party held for him by his mother.

Although he didn't quite understand why his mother became obsessed with the idea of ​​him having a partner as he grew older, Zhou Zhi had no intention of cooperating with her this time.

after all.

He already has someone he likes, so there is no room for anyone else.

Of course...even if Lu Chihuan didn't appear in his life, Zhou Zhi would not be obsessed with finding a partner for himself. His desires in all aspects are quite shallow, and he doesn't look forward to starting a family with a partner.

even.

He had never imagined this before.

When he was still an admiral of the empire, Zhou Zhi often had to rush to the battlefield to fight the Zerg, so the best outcome he anticipated for himself was... to perish together with the Zerg's hive.

Think of this.

He lowered his eyelashes slightly.

The cold light from the starship fell on his eyelashes, casting a faint shadow under his eyelids. For some reason, Zhou Zhi looked a little lonely and isolated at this moment. He reached out his hand, fumbled in his pocket for a few times, and took out a pack of cigarettes.

The lighter clicked.

Light blue smoke dissipated quietly from the air, scarlet spots of light flickered between his fingers, and the slightly bitter taste of tobacco made Zhou Zhi feel more at ease.

At this moment.

His communicator beeped again.

It was a call from his guard who stayed in the palace. Usually, the other party would only use this number to contact him in an emergency.

Zhou Zhi's eyes darkened.

After clicking on the communication, he asked casually, his voice hoarse and lazy.

"What happened?"

The guard showed fear and nervousness on his face. After hesitating for a second or two, he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, there are signs that someone has secretly broken into the secret vault of the palace. We haven't counted the losses yet, and haven't caught anyone yet..."

Everyone in the palace knew it.

The secret vault in the imperial palace contains treasures hidden by His Majesty the Emperor. Whenever His Majesty the Emperor is free, he will stay in there for a while.

It can be as long as half an hour.

As short as a dozen minutes.

In the past, there had been thieves who had come to the Emperor's secret vault, but they were usually unable to open the door and were caught by the Emperor in a very short time. They were either thrown into exile on an uninhabited island or used as feed.

thus.

They were also confident about the setting of the secret vault door.

However, no one expected that someone would take advantage of His Majesty's absence to sneak into the secret treasury of the palace right under their noses. However, they did not know what was in the secret treasury, so they could not count the losses.

Hearing what the guard said.

Zhou Zhi's fingers suddenly clenched.

His light grey eyes were like the raging sea before a storm. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and the cigarette box in his hand was already wrinkled by him.

Secret Curry...

Someone else came in?

When Zhou Zhi thought that the things he kept in the secret vault might be stolen or destroyed by thieves, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and he quickly stood up.

The chair was dragged on the ground, making a slightly harsh "creaking" sound.

next moment.

He changed his mind.

At this time, he sent a message to his guard team and adjutant, his eyes seemed to be icy, with a bit of coldness, "The main force will continue to stay here to search."

"You guys will follow me back to the main planet for now."

"be quick."

Zhou Zhi wanted to see who was so bold as to break into his secret vault. If he were asked to catch that person... he would directly turn that person into fertilizer.

In less than a day.

Zhou Zhi successfully arrived at the main star.

It was already late at night when he entered the palace. Because he came back only to track down the suspect who sneaked into the royal secret treasury, and did not disturb other people, Zhou Zhi did not choose to inform others in a high-profile manner when he entered the palace.

He is very low-key.

Because he used a dedicated channel, only a small number of people on the entire main planet knew about his return.

"No need to salute."

Looking at the uneasy guard in front of him.

Zhou Zhi frowned slightly.

He raised his hand and used his mental strength to stop him from kneeling. Although his light grey eyes were cold and inhuman, he simply gave a concise command at this moment:

"Take me to see the situation first."

The guard nodded hurriedly, saluted, and then said, "Yes!"

soon.

They arrived at the door of the secret library.

The guard followed Zhou Zhi and briefly reported what they had found out in less than a day. "Last night at 2 a.m., the surveillance camera near the secret vault was stuck for a moment."

"The staff in front of the surveillance camera didn't notice anything unusual at the time. Later we found out that the surveillance camera footage had been replaced manually, but the other party hid it very well, so we still haven't been able to track down the other party until now."

"and……"

He paused here.

Looking at Zhou Zhi, he unconsciously pursed his overly dry lips, "When our technicians were tracking the traces left by the other party, they claimed that they saw the shadow of the robots from the Mechanical City in their technology. I wonder if they were sent by them."

Zhou Zhi's narrow eyes narrowed unconsciously, but after thinking for a short while, he quickly denied this guess.

"Unlikely."

"There seems to be some trouble in their mechanical city recently. They should not reach out to the empire, or even to my secret vault."

and.

No matter how valuable something is, it has no importance to a robot.

It is not as attractive to them as a piece of energy stone. As for those things they treasure... maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they are no different from garbage that is about to be thrown away.

Think of this.

Zhou Zhi tightened the corners of his lips.

After entering the secret vault, he first carefully checked his collection of treasures. After counting them carefully, he found that nothing was missing.

Suddenly.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the other collections in the secret vault, they were almost countless. Zhou Zhi didn't care about these things on weekdays. He just randomly found a place to pile up the spoils, so he couldn't tell whether anything was missing.

But fortunately, the adjutant left a booklet when he was in charge of storing the things.

The entered collections are recorded above.

So now, under Zhou Zhi's instructions, they quickly counted the collections inside according to the booklet. This took about two hours. During this process, Zhou Zhi focused his attention on the special door lock at the entrance of the secret library.

He pulled out his communicator.

He accessed the unlocking data on the combination lock and took a careful look at it.

This look.

I couldn't help but frown.

The data showed that it took the opponent less than half a minute to open the first mental lock, which proved that... the opponent must have his own mental power in his hands.

All of a sudden.

Zhou Zhi's heart trembled violently.

He remembered what happened on the Guangxi Star some time ago. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. His bony fingers clenched the communicator tightly, and his breathing became a little unstable.

Those who entered the secret vault...

Could it be Huanhuan?

Looking at the next combination lock, the other party entered his own birthday and... Lu Chihuan's birthday. However, because the password was entered incorrectly, he ended up entering the date of death.

See these records.

Zhou Zhi's breathing became lighter.

Although he also understood in his heart that the person who broke into the royal secret vault this time might not be Lu Chihuan, but might be someone else who had mastered his mental power, such as his younger brother.

Another example is the so-called people sent by God.

but.

His thoughts, rising and falling like the tide, still inevitably slid towards the speculation that "the person who broke into the secret vault was Lu Chihuan."

His intuition seemed to tell him—

That person is Huanhuan.

"His Majesty."

The adjutant who had finished counting the collection in the secret vault said to Zhou Zhi respectfully, "Nothing is missing from the collection. The other party didn't take anything away. In addition, we also found this."

Speaking of it.

The adjutant handed the things in the plastic bag to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi looked closely.

I saw a piece of tissue paper crumbs in the plastic bag, which was probably accidentally stuck to the person who broke into the royal secret vault. However, that person didn't notice it at all, and because of his too big movement, the crumbs were left in the secret vault.

"Are there any fingerprint reactions?"

After Zhou Zhi asked this question.

There seemed to be a special raised pattern on the corner of the tissue scrap, so he handed it to the others to have a look, "Analyze the pattern on this scrap and see if you can trace it back to the source of the tissue."

"This one……"

"It looks familiar to me."

A guard's voice sounded hesitantly, but because it was too quiet in front of the secret library, everyone else noticed his voice as soon as he spoke.

He was really frightened when everyone was staring at him.

"I remember now!"

The guard thought hard.

After a moment, he finally slapped his head and said, "It seems that the palace where the distinguished guests attending the banquet are accommodated is all using this kind of paper. This paper seems to be specially customized by Madam Zhou!"

“I was responsible for patrolling there before.”

"Because I helped the distinguished guests there, I accidentally got my hands dirty, so they gave me a pack of tissues to wipe my hands."

“I was still thinking about it…”

“The pattern is pretty.”
