Sky-cracking Rider

Miyoshi Xuesen remembered clearly that he had personally escorted the "Plagiarist Ghost" to Hablav City a week ago, the location of the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, where once the transfer was complete, not even gods and spirits could dream of escaping. Moreover, with the Supernatural Ability Suppressant, suppressing the local ability users of Blue Star was even easier than suppressing spellcasters and War Professionals. Unless there was a traitor, and it had to be a high-ranking one with real power, otherwise, it was impossible for the "Plagiarist Ghost" to escape from such a place. But was it worth it for a "Plagiarist Ghost"? "See for yourself!" Chen Fei opened the video mode and pointed the camera of his phone at the unconscious captive. Luckily, he was smart enough to have the AI "Adam" manage the surveillance system. "Adam," taking after the meticulous nature of AIs, managed to detect the height discrepancy of the impostor, forcing the latter to take a risky move. It was true that the "Plagiarist Ghost" had copied several abilities beforehand, but Chen Fei also seemed to have quite a few cards up his sleeve. Moreover, even heroes cannot withstand the crowd. Although the Slan Dynasty's Royal Guard lacked experience in reacting, once they got the hang of it, their combat effectiveness was very much guaranteed and it was entirely predictable that the "Plagiarist Ghost" was caught and thoroughly defeated on the spot. "It's him, it really is him!" The face in the video struck Monk Miyoshi with panic, and he finally believed that Chen Fei was not spouting nonsense. This "Plagiarist Ghost" could be recognized even if he turned to ashes. Despite being a fugitive with ties to the "Water Bear" organization, how could he have escaped from the high-security prison in Hablav City? What made it even more suspicious was that even if the suppressant's effects were short-lived, they should last at least half a month, but now... There was only one answer: someone not only let the "Plagiarist Ghost" out, but also used a special drug that lifted the suppression of his abilities. This kind of drug was not as easily obtainable as the Supernatural Ability Suppressant, not only was its production limited and its shelf life extremely short, but each dose also had to be rigorously inspected before use, and stealing it for personal use was not an easy affair. This meant there was a powerful figure behind the scenes, and even if there was an insider, they were likely sitting in a very high place. "I wasn't wrong, was I? Miyoshi, you've got to take responsibility!" Chen Fei confirmed that he had once handed over the "Plagiarist Ghost" to the other party; now that the "Plagiarist Ghost" had escaped and dared to commit further crimes, he would certainly have to hold this monk accountable. "I know, I know, no need to remind me, but it's not as simple as you think, Bag Yaru, there's going to be big trouble this time!" Monk Miyoshi lost his usual calm and composed demeanor and responded through gritted teeth. However, he soon remembered what Chen Fei had mentioned earlier. "Wait, what did you just say about an interstellar war? What's all that about?" Hopefully, it was just a joke, not something real. "Listen well, the 'Plagiarist Ghost' tried to assassinate the princess of the Sulan Royal Family of Cangqiong Star, Her Highness Lin Ziyu · Slan! I've taken up the security commission from the Slan royal family, Miyoshi, this is no joke." Chen Fei did not mind alerting his counterpart that the "Plagiarist Ghost" had done more than just escape from prison; he might even have burst the heavens open. "Yi yi yi yi yi! How could this happen? How could this be?" Miyoshi Xuesen let out a weird cry, completely unaware, and even more terrible news was yet to come. If the princess of Cangqiong Star were really assassinated, the two civilized planets might verge on war, even if they didn't directly engage in one. The Princess's greatest fear of the "Thucydides Trap" might actually become reality. "Miyoshi, get back to me as soon as possible, this is no joking matter!" Chen Fei reminded his counterpart. Though he had recaptured the "Plagiarist Ghost", it was not the end. The place in Hablav City where the "Plagiarist Ghost" was kept probably harbored more than one such feared individual; if they all broke out and targeted the Princess, it would be an absolute disaster. He knew this task was troublesome, which was why it was specifically assigned to him, a member of the Chen Family. "I understand, wait for me!" As it involved the Slan Royal Family of Cangqiong Star, Miyoshi Xuesen had to provide an explanation not just to Chen Fei but to the royalty as well. If he accidentally caused any troubles, he would be the first one sacrificed. After ending the call with Monk Miyoshi, Chen Fei then noticed that Butler Mars had arrived and immediately greeted him. "Butler Mars, do you have a Supernatural Ability Suppressant? This guy is a supernatural power user!" Because he had successfully controlled the suspect who infiltrated the Princess's private mansion, the urgent relocation was temporarily halted; after all, it might not necessarily be safe outside the mansion either. "A supernatural power user? I do have the Suppressant." Butler Mars's hand mysteriously produced a needle-free injection gun, the Slan Royal Family was never short of Space System Alchemy Storage Devices and Supernatural Ability Suppressants. The larger the forest, the more kinds of birds there are. Crimes committed by ability users were commonplace, hence the birth of Supernatural Ability Suppressants and Elemental Restriction Artifacts, specifically designed to handle these criminal elements. He was about to come over when his gaze sharpened, and he said urgently, "Watch out!" "Hm?" Chen Fei followed the butler's gaze, looked down, and saw the "Plagiarist Ghost," who was nearly lifeless, had opened his eyes unknown to him and had a sly grin as he grabbed Chen Fei's ankle. The "Dragon Guard" Single Soldier Tactical Armor's boot component inexplicably collapsed, showing a corroded gap. The "Plagiarist Ghost," self-satisfied, sneered, "Hehehe, I told you I would copy your supernatural powers and let you die by them. Surprised or not, expected or unexpected?" "You talk too much!" Without any hesitation, Chen Fei waved his hand. The "Blood Spike" immediately nailed the "Plagiarist Ghost's" hand to the ground, and then another "Blood Spike" emerged, pinning the other hand. "Your supernatural power, supernatural power, supernatural power..." Taken by surprise, the "Plagiarist Ghost" screamed in agony, and after howling a few times, his expression suddenly became terrifying, showing an incredulous look as he stared at Chen Fei in horror, gasping for air and tremblingly said, "Your supernatural power?" He also finally recognized Chen Fei, his arch-nemesis, but when he tried to fulfill his earlier vow, he found his supposedly infallible "Ability Copying" skill had copied nothing but loneliness, and the extra slot for supernatural powers he had expected was still empty, with nothing added. "Do you want to copy the Neanderthal tribe's Secret Technique? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!" Chen Fei immediately activated his Inherited Battle Runes, his body covered in dazzling silver patterns radiating bright silver light. He thought the "Plagiarist Cat" was attempting to copy the Neanderthal's Inherited Battle Runes Secret Technique; it looked like a mismatch in skills, destined to fail. Chen Fei knew very well that his Metallic supernatural power was actually based on the Dog System, which was why the Supernatural Ability Suppressant had no effect on him. Since the opponent could not copy the Dog System, the Metallic supernatural power couldn't be "plagiarized" either. The "Plagiarist Ghost" let out a heartrending wail, whether from anger or the pain of having his hands nailed by two "Blood Spikes." Biu! Housekeeper Mars gave the troublemaker an injection of the Supernatural Ability Suppressant, but it still couldn't stop the other's screaming. A Royal Guard raised his foot and directly kicked the noisy guy unconscious. All kinds of restraints were applied without hesitation on the "Plagiarist Ghost." Not to mention a supernatural power user, even an Ability User of Heavenly Order could not break free. "You know the intruder?" Housekeeper Mars put away the Supernatural Ability Suppressant needle-free injection gun, having just heard Chen Fei speaking to someone. The person Chen Fei was talking to was from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, and he had bluntly asked the other party for an explanation. This descendant of the Chen Family was clearly not just an ordinary employee of a small military contractor, and even without any other background, at the very least, he had some unknown connections. "Of course, this guy's nickname is 'Plagiarist Ghost,' a B-grade ability user, skilled at copying other supernatural powers, capable of copying five abilities, and maintaining them for 24 hours. He's ranked number 11 on the Blue Star Global Power User's Most Wanted list and number 3 on the Supernatural Power Users Wanted list. I caught him personally last week and immediately sent him to the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, but somehow he has escaped again and even attempted to assassinate the Princess." Chen Fei spilled the "Plagiarist Ghost's" personal details completely. Housekeeper Mars expressed relief, "As I thought, entrusting you was the right choice!" This time, Chen Fei had made a significant achievement, raising his level of recognition another notch, and one could even imagine, had he not been there, facing a madman possessing five types of supernatural abilities, Her Royal Highness the Princess might have faced danger. Outside the mansion, shouts and clamor rang out, and two Royal Guards who had been excluded finally came to their senses. "Eh? What just happened? Where did Mahab Rocher go?" "What's going on? Why is the gate closed?" Meanwhile, those experts and scholars remained calm; some might guess what had just happened, but at such a critical moment, staying outdoors was decidedly safer than venturing inside the house. Moreover, the coach was still by the roadside, ready to facilitate a quick getaway. "Wait, don't let Zoka and Musto come in; have them stay outside!" Housekeeper Mars sent this cautious message. The two guards outside had definitely fallen for the "Plagiarist Ghost's" tricks, although every Royal Guard had an Alchemical Artifact protecting against spiritual power invasions, this protection was not 100% effective. Certain special spells, curse magic, and supernatural abilities could still breach their defenses. Having regained consciousness, the two Royal Guards stood outside the gate, staring at each other in confusion, still unable to grasp what had actually occurred. Chen Fei approached the Princess's private parlor and was about to push the door open when a loud voice emanated from inside. "Who?" It was the Princess's Shadow Guard, Lize Jina. Apparently, she had not yet become familiar with Chen Fei's footsteps. "It's me, Chen Fei, it's temporarily safe now!" Chen Fei saw that only Lize Jina, Princess Lin Ziyu, and the maid Fei Dani, along with Xiao Jiu, were in the parlor. Lize Jina was standing in front of the Princess and the maid, both hands holding a sword in a defensive posture, when she saw Chen Fei enter, she relaxed. There was a secret passage inside the parlor, right behind Princess Lin Ziyu.
