Chapter 15 A Set Up

More than an hour later, Su Mo appeared in front of the military building of the First Legion in the second ring of Star Ring City.

Su Mo walked straight in.

Along the way, various identification devices kept scanning Su Mo.

"Identification passed!"

"Welcome Colonel Su Mo home."

...

Along the way, officers of Star Ring City, seeing Su Mo, raised their hands in salute.

"Sir!"

...

Su Mo nodded slightly in response.

Soon, he arrived at the administrative hall. There weren't many officers handling business in the huge hall.

Su Mo turned his head and soon found a guidance desk. He walked straight over.

"Hello, sir, I am Sergeant Wei Li. How can I help you?"

A rather young male officer, seeing Su Mo approaching, immediately stood up, saluted, and asked respectfully.

"It's like this, I received a compulsory mission, but when I inquired at the mission dispatch center, they didn't assign it to me. Who should I consult in this situation?"

Su Mo briefly described the matter.

Sergeant Wei Li was also stunned after listening. He had never encountered this situation before, but he quickly gave a reply.

"Sir, in this case, I suggest you go to Office No. 1 of the First Legion's Comprehensive Department and ask Colonel Bi Xi about the situation."

"Okay, thank you."

Su Mo responded simply and left.

A moment later, Su Mo found Office No. 1 of the Comprehensive Department.

The door was open.

Su Mo walked to the door and raised his hand to knock.

Knock knock!

"Come in!"

A steady voice sounded. Looking closely, one could see a middle-aged man with graying temples and a calm expression, wearing a colonel's uniform, sitting at his desk, busily processing documents.

Su Mo walked in and greeted him.

"Hello, Colonel Bi Xi, I am Colonel Su Mo."

Bi Xi looked up and was quite surprised to see another colonel.

"Hello, Colonel Su Mo, how can I help you?"

"It's like this, I received a compulsory mission, but the mission dispatch center doesn't have this directive. Could you please take a look?"

Su Mo told him about the matter.

"Please sit down for a moment, I will check for you."

Colonel Bi Xi was a little puzzled after listening.

Su Mo sat quietly in the chair waiting. After five or six minutes, Colonel Bi Xi said.

"Colonel Su Mo, I have checked, you don't have any assigned missions right now, and Star Ring City hasn't assigned you any missions either. Can I see the mission information you received?"

"Yes."

Su Mo raised his wristband and showed the information to the other party.

Colonel Bi Xi looked at the information and quickly checked it. After a long time, he said.

"Colonel Su Mo, I checked, and Star Ring City does have this mission. But this mission is not mandatory and hasn't been assigned to anyone yet. It's possible that there was an error in some part of the artificial intelligence."

"So, I don't have to carry out this mission?"

Su Mo asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but..."

Colonel Bi Xi suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo's brow furrowed, and he quickly asked.

"That's strange, the system has an email for you, showing it as undelivered, which shouldn't be the case normally. Wait a moment, I will resend it to you."

Colonel Bi Xi replied to Su Mo.

Colonel Bi Xi performed a series of operations, but the result was still a failure.

His expression darkened, and he quickly performed a query operation.

Su Mo felt more and more that something was wrong.

Just then, Su Mo's electronic wristband suddenly vibrated, and a prompt popped up.

"You have an urgent notification email."

Su Mo's eyelids twitched, and he quickly opened the email.

"Dear Colonel Su Mo, the supplementary selection competition for the Twelve Knights of the Royal Order will be held on March 12 at the Timaklo Space Arena, the First Cradle. Please be sure to attend on time. Failure to participate on time will be regarded as a waiver..."

Su Mo's eyelids jumped as he looked at the email, and he said.

"The Royal Order's Twelve Knights selection is on March 12? Today is February 12, so there's only one month left?"

"That's right, this email should have been sent to you three months ago. Who is so bold as to manually modify the sending parameters, causing the email to fail?"

Colonel Bi Xi replied angrily.

"You mean it was intentional?"

"That's right, it was manually modified. We'll go to the Information Section to find Warrant Officer Fza. This email should have passed through his hands."

Bi Xi got up from his chair with a livid face and walked towards the Information Section's office.

Seeing this, Su Mo followed.

In the corridor, the officers, seeing Bi Xi's livid face, braced themselves to salute, or hid far away.

Soon, Su Mo and Colonel Bi Xi arrived at the office area of the Information Section on the third floor.

Just as they approached, they heard a gunshot.

Bang!

Bi Xi's expression changed drastically when he heard the gunshot, and he rushed to Office No. 4 of the Information Section at lightning speed.

Su Mo followed closely behind.

When the two arrived at the door of Office No. 4 of the Information Section, they saw that it was already in chaos.

The people of the Information Section were looking at a desk in confusion.

On that desk lay a corpse, its head blown apart, blood flowing down continuously. The handgun in its hand had fallen straight to the ground.

Su Mo glanced at it. The officer who committed suicide was wearing a warrant officer's uniform. It should be Warrant Officer Fza.

Colonel Bi Xi's face became even more unsightly as he looked at this scene, like a powder keg about to explode. But he didn't lose his temper, but suppressed his anger and turned to Su Mo and said, "Colonel Su Mo, I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will notify you of the specific results."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, I'm leaving first."

Su Mo didn't stay any longer and turned to leave in a hurry.

"Okay."

Colonel Bi Xi nodded.

...

In the corridor, Creator Devourer said to Su Mo in a low voice: "It seems that someone is trying to set you up. It seems that someone doesn't want you to participate in the selection."

"It's not as simple as being set up now. This time, there's big trouble. My mecha!"

Su Mo frowned and said.

"I remember, the old man said that your mecha will be ready in three months."

"The problem is that there's less than a month left for the Royal Order's selection competition. What am I going to use to fight then? Don't forget, the V-generation biological mecha, Light of Eternal Sin, was also taken back by the old man."

Su Mo said with a headache.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"What else can I do, go find the old man."

Su Mo couldn't help but quicken his pace.
