The entire central control room was filled with millions of slender optical cables extending from the ceiling, connected to the mechanical pillar.

Embedded in the center of the mechanical pillar was a quantum computer emitting a gray halo.

In front of the mechanical pillar was a mechanical console.

A virtual image frame appeared on the console screen, displaying the image of Su Mo, who was gorging himself in the corner.

"Identity Match: Grade S wanted criminal, Su Mo!"

"Is there a violation?"

"No violation of rules."

"Target suspected of exploiting loopholes, classified as Level 2 observation target."

...

Kidora Planetary Fortress, Office.

Kylas reclined in a large chair, looking at the general report in his hand, his expression shifting between cloudy and clear.

Creak~

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Laura walked in.

She was the only one who could still enter Kylas's office.

"What is it?"

Kylas said in a low voice.

"Federal Government Council Speaker, Arlais, wants to see you."

Laura said.

"Didn't I say I'm not seeing anyone? I don't need to think to know they're here to beg for mercy."

Kylas replied angrily.

Laura was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Commander, although Su Mo made a mistake, it was understandable. Can't we be lenient?"

It wasn't that Laura had received any benefits from Arlais, but she felt that Su Mo's actions had saved many people, and he was indeed somewhat compelled.

Kylas, for once, did not explode in anger. He said with an ashen face, "If I am lenient with him, who will be lenient with me? What am I going to tell Lord Icarus, the city lord? You need to know what Lord Icarus ordered us to do. He demanded that we complete the Kidora Planetary Fortress within ten years, and it was already almost impossible. Now, it's all gone back to square one. Who will plead for me when Lord Icarus blames me?"

"Commander Kylas, you are right, but in a sense, Su Mo's actions were also understandable..."

Laura hesitated and said.

"Alright, don't say any more. No one can change my mind on this matter. When the Star Ring City returns, I will immediately inform Lord Icarus, and at the same time, escort the person to the Star Ring City High Military Tribunal."

Kylas interrupted Laura directly.

Laura sighed and walked out without saying anything else.

Kidora Fortress, Area A1 waiting lounge.

Arlais paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about what bargaining chips to use to impress Kylas when he saw him.

Qian Chengxue kept looking at the door of the lounge, hoping that the adjutant named Laura would return.

Finally, the door of the lounge opened, and Laura walked in.

"Lord Laura, is Commander Kylas willing to see us?"

Arlais immediately adjusted his mindset and asked calmly.

"I'm sorry! Council Speaker Arlais, Commander Kylas has made it clear that he will not see anyone. Please go back."

Laura gave Arlais an apologetic salute, then turned and left without saying anything more.

Qian Chengxue couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard this.

Arlais saw that Qian Chengxue was very angry, so he comforted her, "Don't worry. I know you're worried about Su Mo, but this matter can't be rushed. After all, this is a big deal, and we definitely have to wait for the Star Ring City to return before making a decision. When the time comes, we can go to the Star Ring City to find someone to pull some strings, and there may still be a turning point."

"I understand, thank you! Council Speaker Arlais."

Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and replied.

"It's nothing, you're just worried."

---------------------------------------------

Inside the Endless Deep Space Prison, Su Mo was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

Suddenly, the extremely noisy commotion woke Su Mo up. He sat up and looked outside.

He saw emotionless prison soldiers and mechanical weapons driving people out of the cells one by one.

The unlucky Long Ke next door was also driven out, with an uneasy expression on his face.

Su Mo glanced at the time displayed on the contact ring on his hand. It was only four in the morning. Why were they calling people up so early?

At this time, Su Mo saw An Jie and another prison officer walking towards the cell of the grade SSS wanted criminal, Mondox.

He saw the two of them personally pulling him out and taking him away.

At this moment, Su Mo also saw Mondox's appearance. He was quite burly, with firm eyes, a calm face, and unhurried behavior.

He didn't look like a villain.

At this time, the entire prison was in chaos, and more and more prisoners were being taken out.

But the door to his cell was not opened.

Su Mo felt that something was wrong, so he stopped a passing soldier and asked curiously, "Brother, what's going on?"

The soldier glanced at the surrounding mechanical weapons, lowered his voice and said to Su Mo, "Brother, this has nothing to do with you. Go back to sleep and don't worry about anything."

After Su Mo heard this, he became even more puzzled, but before he could ask.

The soldier left in a hurry.

Su Mo glanced at the prisoners who hadn't been taken away, all of them were huddled in the corners like they had seen a ghost, afraid of being taken away.

It was obvious that something was wrong, but it was a pity that Long Ke had been taken away, otherwise he could have asked him.

Although Su Mo was very curious, he restrained himself and did not call out to the remaining guard soldiers.

He lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.

When Su Mo woke up from his sleep, it was already around ten in the morning. A hearty breakfast had been placed in his cell.

He silently got up to wash up, then sat down to eat.

Today was strange. He didn't have to work? Could it be a holiday?

Su Mo looked at the other prisoners in the distance. He found that the remaining prisoners who had not been taken away were exceptionally well-behaved and did not make a single sound.

The entire cell block was silent. One would think it was an empty cell block.

Su Mo silently turned on the TV to watch a movie to pass the time.

Until 12:30 late at night, a series of footsteps came. He saw a group of criminals, exhausted and dejected, being escorted back by prison soldiers and mechanical weapons.

Su Mo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and carefully observed the returning criminals.

His brows furrowed even more. The number of returning criminals was less than the number who had left in the morning. About one-tenth of the people had not returned.

At this moment, Su Mo saw the battered Long Ke being escorted back to his cell. He lay on the ground, panting non-stop, looking half-dead.

Su Mo did not ask Long Ke immediately, but waited quietly.

After all the prisoners had been escorted back to their cells and some of the mechanical weapons and guards had left.

Su Mo threw a bottle of mineral water to Long Ke.

Long Ke, who was about to die, quickly got up, caught it, and opened the cap to drink.

"Want something to eat?"

Su Mo asked.

"Yes..."

Long Ke replied impatiently.
