Chapter 1 Something is Wrong

Soon after, Su Mo appeared at the entrance of the Star Ring City Central Administrative Council Building.

At this time, many small flying vehicles of different models were parked in front of the entire Administrative Council Building. High-ranking officers and generals could be seen getting out in a hurry, all with solemn expressions, and walking quickly into the Council Building.

At the same time, many generals and high-ranking officers also came out of the building.

Everyone who met did not exchange greetings. There were even few nods of acknowledgement; most of them walked past in a hurry.

Su Mo clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right. He even had a feeling that things were about to change drastically.

He was also puzzled. He had only been away for a few days, carrying out an escort mission, and when he came back, he felt that everything had changed.

"Xiao Shi, do you feel that something is not quite right?"

"Not sure."

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

Su Mo's expression changed for a while, then he walked towards the Administrative Council Building.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw Su Mo and saluted solemnly.

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked in. After arriving at the hall, Su Mo was even more shocked. The entire hall was full of high-ranking officers and officials walking in a hurry.

If Su Mo remembered correctly, the last time he came here to see City Lord Ikaroya, there weren't so many people.

Just then, Su Mo noticed something.

He found that many high-ranking officers, officials, and generals were holding a very special sealed file in their hands.

Su Mo stood still for a while, then walked towards the central giant elevator.

At this time, a large number of high-ranking officers were waiting at the elevator entrance, the lowest being majors, and there were also several generals mixed in.

Su Mo frowned when he saw so many people.

Soon, Su Mo took the elevator to the third floor. The moment he walked out, he wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

The entire third-floor lounge was filled with at least hundreds of high-ranking officers and generals.

You know, this is the lounge for seeing City Lord Ikaroya. Normally, it would be a big deal if one or two people came to see City Lord Ikaroya.

At this time, a capable female officer walked up to Su Mo and said respectfully: "Officer Su Mo, City Lord Ikaroya is meeting with other generals. You need to wait a moment, there are seats over there where you can rest."

"Okay, thank you."

Su Mo didn't complain. He walked straight to the vacant seat and sat down.

Under normal circumstances, the high-ranking officers and generals present would basically greet each other or exchange a few words.

But now everyone was frowning, their faces tense, and waiting anxiously.

Su Mo quietly looked at the corridor ahead.

Every few minutes, a high-ranking officer would come out from inside with a hurried expression. At the same time, they all had a special sealed file in their hands.

Su Mo thoughtfully calmed down and waited quietly.

About an hour later, a female officer walked over and said respectfully to Su Mo.

"Officer Su Mo, you can go in now."

After hearing this, Su Mo immediately got up and walked towards City Lord Ikaroya's office.

Just then, Su Mo's electronic bracelet vibrated, and a message popped up.

"Officer Su Mo, there are many urgent tasks here. Do you have time? Do you want me to assign some to you?"

Su Mo glanced at it. It was Luo Yue who sent it.

He pondered for a while, then sent a message back to Luo Yue.

"I'm not available now, I won't take any for the time being. I'll take some when I'm free."

After doing all this, Su Mo quickened his pace and walked towards City Lord Ikaroya's office.

When he walked to the door of Ikaroya's office, the door was open.

Ikaroya was wearing a blue starry robe, standing quietly by the window, looking at the distant scenery.

Through her beautiful profile, one could see that Ikaroya's indifferent and proud expression seemed to reveal a trace of loneliness, and her cold eyes were flowing with light.

A breeze blew by, and the hair on her temples fluttered slightly.

Su Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't know why, but a trace of illusion appeared in his heart for a moment, and he inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness.

Just then, City Lord Ikaroya turned around, her expression indifferent, and walked straight to her desk and sat down.

Su Mo then walked into the office, came to City Lord Ikaroya, saluted and reported.

"City Lord Ikaroya, Eureka has been successfully escorted to the Endless Deep Space Prison, and I am here to report!"

"Yes, I know."

Ikaroya replied indifferently.

Su Mo took a deep breath and was thinking about how to organize his words to speak to City Lord Ikaroya.

City Lord Ikaroya took out a special sealed file bag from the drawer of her desk, handed it to Su Mo and said in a deep voice.

"This is for you."

"Yes!"

Su Mo quickly stepped forward and reached out to take it.

"This is a top-secret file, be sure to keep it safe."

City Lord Ikaroya rarely exhorted.

"Yes!"

Su Mo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he quickly responded.

"One more thing, this file bag cannot be opened. It can only be opened at midnight on September 25th. It is absolutely not allowed to be opened before that time, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

When City Lord Ikaroya said this, her tone became very sharp.

Su Mo immediately felt great pressure, and he quickly responded in a deep voice.

"Understood!"

"Okay, that's all."

After Ikaroya finished explaining, she said expressionlessly to Su Mo.

However, Su Mo did not leave. Ikaroya naturally noticed the problem immediately, and she asked calmly.

"Is there anything else?"

Su Mo took a deep breath and said seriously to City Lord Ikaroya: "City Lord Ikaroya, I remember that after becoming one of the Royal Knights of the Twelve, there is a special pardon right. I want to pardon someone."

"Who?"

"Ti Luo!" (Tiro)

After hearing Su Mo's words, City Lord Ikaroya's eyes became sharper, and she replied indifferently: "How much do you know about Ti Luo?" (Tiro)

Su Mo was slightly stunned. To be honest, he didn't really know much, but Su Mo still had great confidence in his own judgment.

"City Lord Ikaroya, I don't think she is the same as other prisoners."

City Lord Ikaroya replied coldly: "Every SSS-level wanted criminal is not a simple character. It is not so easy to pardon them."

"Please be lenient, City Lord."

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

City Lord Ikaroya stared at Su Mo.

In an instant, Su Mo felt as if a mountain was pressing on his chest, and he suddenly had difficulty breathing.

Just then, Ikaroya said lightly to Su Mo: "If you want to say that you want me to pardon Ti Luo for your sake, I can tell you that it is impossible, including anyone else who comes. And I'm afraid you've misunderstood something."

"Please enlighten me, City Lord."

Su Mo asked, gritting his teeth.
