Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 106 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
Under the gaze of the four priests, Ummirs' angry and gloomy eyes fell on the bloodstained chief engineer, and his voice suddenly rose:
"But as a believer, when he discovered the remains of the Great Priest, he also discovered the energy inheritance of the Great Priest contained in it. He had an idea that he shouldn't have, and chose to betray."

"He kept it from us, didn't announce it to the public, and didn't let us have the opportunity to avenge the great priest."

"Even cut off contact with the outside world, led his trusted subordinates to conduct secret research in the underground laboratory, trying to pass their experiments and take away the power of the great priest."

"Who would have thought that, as the chief engineer of the fleet, a laboratory was built without our knowledge."

"That's a deep place in the underground base. It was originally a scrapped maintenance room. We usually don't notice it at all."

"But right there, right under our noses, Orsay, and his filthy minions, have been studying it year after year."

As he said that, Ummiers suddenly closed his eyes and bowed with a sad expression.

"There was my dereliction of duty. It was my trust in him that led to all of this."

"After all, he led everyone to build the entire base. I never asked about the unimportant places in the underground base, so that he could take advantage of it."

"If our base hadn't been attacked before, I would never have known that there was such a heinous laboratory under the base."

"But since someone mentioned it, why don't we let our chief engineer talk about it, what's going on?"

After saying that, Ummirs slammed forward with his right hand, and pulled the chief engineer, who had more air and less air, to him.

Then, with a heavy mention, the iron chain rattled, pressing the latter directly on the fence in front of him, making him face all the clansmen in the temple.

"Cough cough..."

Being savagely pulled by Umiers, the already weak chief engineer coughed up a mouthful of blood physiologically, but he didn't have the strength to look at Umiers behind him, but stared blankly at the clansmen below.

One after another, full of unbelievable, angry faces.

The chief engineer slowly raised his eyes, and saw the scrutinizing gazes of the priests beside him.

He lowered his head slowly, with a look of resignation in his eyes.

On the high platform, Tang Jiumin saw the unwillingness in the chief engineer's eyes, and also saw the slight murmuring of the other's lips.

Obviously, he didn't want to say anything, all this was being forced.

But his reaction made Tang Jiumin feel a strong uneasiness.

"Yes... that's right"

The chief engineer said in his extremely hoarse voice:

"I did all this. Facing the power of the great priest, greed occupied my soul. I betrayed my faith and tried to take the power of the great priest as my own."

"The captain is right. I did all of this, and I asked my subordinates to plan this secret experiment."

Sure enough, contrary to the unwillingness in the eyes of the chief engineer, he confessed his crime immediately, and admitted that he was the one who conducted the secret experiment on the spar.

And Tang Jiumin also saw that after the other party opened his mouth, his expression of resignation gradually faded and turned into a bleak one.

".After the laboratory was attacked, I finally couldn't hide this matter anymore. I was discovered by the captain. I couldn't hide it. The crime is undeniable."

"I plead guilty..."

"I betrayed my faith, I betrayed the captain's trust, I betrayed everyone, and even made everyone lose hope of leaving this planet with my own hands, and caused the sacrifice of my tribe."

"This is all my fault..."

The chief engineer fully admitted his crime in front of all the clansmen, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the high platform.

Tang Jiumin and the other party's eyes met.

Orsay, the chief engineer of the fleet suddenly shook his head with a sad smile on his face.

Tang Jiumin was taken aback for a moment, he understood that this was not a meaningless move, it should be to express something.

But then, he saw the other party jump out of the fence, with his head down, and he fell straight down.

At the same time, Ummirs, as if he hadn't expected it, stood there in a daze, the chain in his hand slipped easily with the fall of the chief engineer.

In this way, no one could save the chief engineer, and it happened too suddenly.

A muffled sound.

A full height of eleven or twelve meters.

The chief engineer, who was already half-dead, died on the spot with a bloody head. This drama of pleading guilty and punishing the law officially came to an end.

——It's over, this farce caused by humans.

——It's over, this internal joke of the Protoss.

At this moment, Tang Jiumin and Umiers' minds were synchronized, and similar thoughts emerged respectively.

Tang Jiumin frowned deeply, and was extremely surprised, he really didn't expect it.

He understood that the other party had already prepared a counter move, but he never expected that the other party had prepared such a sufficient counter move.

A legitimate, motivated, willing scapegoat who doesn't bounce back when speaking.

It's all right now, he died for the dead ghost, confessed his guilt and died, all the sins have nothing to do with Ummirs, and the other party has changed from a sinner to a hero who finds out the culprit.

Indeed, just as Tang Jiumin was thinking this way, Umirs' compassionate voice sounded again.

"It seems that Orsay realized that he has committed a serious crime. It's a pity. I wanted to give him a hand and let him explain everything clearly, but I didn't expect it."

"He actually chose to commit suicide to escape all of this."

"It seems that he is still obsessed with his obsession, and has never thought about redeeming all this."

Well done, my lord captain.

Tang Jiumin raised his head and met the other party's eyes.

Equally meaningful.

Unfortunately, Ummirs did not respond to Tang Jiumin's gaze, but looked to the side.

"I'm sorry, four priests, I didn't find out about this kind of incident in the fleet, and I didn't notify everyone immediately. This is my negligence."

"But all priests, please understand my difficulties. After all, the fleet is in a state of emergency, and there are internal and external troubles. I really don't have many ways to deal with it in time."

It's a pity that, unlike Tang Jiumin's perspective, the four priests couldn't see the unwilling expression of the chief engineer before committing suicide.

They only saw a series of reactions of the chief engineer committing suicide in fear of guilt, so they all nodded and accepted the statement given by Ummirs.

"I see……"

"It's such a disappointment..."

After Ummirs saw the expressions of understanding from the four priests, he finally turned his gaze to Tang Jiumin.

A look of complexity appeared on his face.

"Human, you are indeed brave."

"As you said, the authority you want to challenge is indeed an existence worth challenging, but you may have found the wrong target."

"This corpse on the ground, the chief engineer of our fleet, is the existence you should question and challenge."

"He betrayed and killed the faith, not me, because I was loyal to the faith and ran around for the remains of the great priest."

Having said that, Umils' expression changed, and his face was full of righteousness.

"As the helm of the entire fleet, as the guardian of the faith, I express my gratitude to you."

"Thank you very much for all your efforts for the High Priest, and thank you for taking the risk to bring back the remains of the High Priest. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made this traitor commit suicide."

Tang Jiumin's eyes darkened slightly.

In the eyes of the Cyril protoss, Umirs, who is upright and kind, is hypocritical in his eyes.

The other party was showing off to him because he failed to expose the other party.Not surprisingly, the captain's counterattack was about to begin.

At this moment, Tang Jiumin quietly withdrew one hand and put it on his body.

"However, the farce is over here." Sure enough, Ummirs suddenly raised his voice after speaking a long foreshadowing.

"Human boy, you are still too young after all, you have no one to challenge, and you have completed your request through the ceremony, congratulations."

"One thing is one thing."

There was a hint of complacency in Wumiers' eyes, and he pointed at Tang Jiumin.

"Anyway, our base is now in a state of emergency, and the group of mechanical bodies transformed by humans outside are watching. I can't be careless."

"You will be arrested, we will not execute you, but you must be locked up in the base and accepted by us, all for the safety of the entire fleet."

"Priests, consider the overall situation, what do you think?"

The four priests nodded heavily.

"Thank you all priests for your understanding. I really shouldn't hide more things. This is my responsibility. I will do it after this incident."

The atmosphere in the entire sanctuary suddenly changed. The protoss warriors below looked at Tang Jiumin on the high platform, without the anger that was about to burn like before, and no longer responded with hostility.

After all, this human brought information that would shake the entire Cyril Protoss, transferring their anger to the dead chief engineer and even the parliament, and making them more determined in their beliefs.

However, this no longer tense atmosphere made Tang Jiumin feel a little chilly.

In this wave of duels, he didn't take advantage of anything, and was even forced into a very embarrassing situation.

The captain above, what he prepared really exceeded his expectations.

In fact, it wasn't Tang Jiumin's carelessness. After all, in the situation of the Protoss base, the captain was able to find a perfect scapegoat, which was really a good idea.

Misfortune never comes singly.

At this moment, the lowest volume sound came from the intercom on the combat uniform.

A call for help from Liu Ziyun.

"Hey, hello, Tang Jiumin, can you hear me, you haven't finished yet? It's been too long, I can't hold on any longer!"

At the same time, it was located near the entrance of the hangar on the second basement floor of the Protoss base.

Liu Ziyun was leaning against the gate, grabbed a monster's head, and slammed it hard against the metal wall. The high-intensity consumption made his forehead sweat like a waterfall.

A few minutes ago, after fulfilling Tang Jiumin's request, Liu Ziyun patrolled back and forth on the first and second floors of the basement to prevent accidents.

As a result, unexpectedly, he actually encountered a group of monsters here.

They are slightly taller than humans, about 1.9 meters, and have the same limbs as humans.

However, while they were completely naked, these monsters were inlaid with fist-sized energy spars all over their bodies.

These monsters have white skin all over, and the flesh inlaid with crystals is bleeding continuously. They obviously have a human-like body shape, but they land on all fours like wild beasts.

After encountering the first monster he encountered, the opponent let out a tyrannical and cruel roar first, and rushed towards him.

Fortunately, these monsters were not very powerful. At that time, Liu Ziyun turned on the werewolf in time, and killed them with his giant claws in a few hits.

But he also discovered that the powerful physical strength of this monster is not weaker than that of the Cyril protoss warriors.

However, compared with the God Race warriors, although this monster is physically strong, it has no God Race energy blessing, cannot use a lightsaber, and has no combat skills.

In comparison, it is easier to deal with.

But just after he killed one, more monsters appeared, in twos and threes, smelling blood, they rushed towards Liu Ziyun one by one.

This is troublesome. Although the strength of these monsters is not as good as those of the Protoss warriors, they are not one or two, but a group.

Facing the attack of this group of monsters, Liu Ziyun retreated to a gate, relying on the narrow gate to defend.

Under the wolf's claws, several monsters were killed, but he also fought for a long time, and now his physical strength dropped sharply, and he was already a little bit unable to hold on.

Seeing the monster pinned to the wall struggling non-stop, Liu Ziyun had no choice but to ask Tang Jiumin when it would be done.

On the side of the holy hall, Tang Jiumin was originally watching the second floor, watching Umeers' wonderful performance, when he heard Liu Ziyun's call, he immediately pressed the team communication button.

In front of the many Serre protoss, Tang Jiumin seemed to have lost the courage to look at each other, and slowly lowered his head.

He opened his mouth slightly, almost speaking in ventriloquism, avoiding the surrounding visits.

"Bodhisattva Liu, what's wrong?"

"Tang Jiumin, what's wrong with this protoss base? A group of monsters emerged from the depths of the base. I can't hold it anymore! Are you done with it?"

"Monster? Deep in the base? It seems to be the backhand of that old bastard." Hearing what happened below, Tang Jiumin frowned tightly, but his tone was full of playfulness.

"Liu Bodhisattva, judging by your voice, you should still have a lot of strength. Come on and hold on."

"Because my side is more troublesome"

After finishing speaking, Tang Jiumin directly turned off the team call, let out a long breath, and emptied his head.

On the trial seat, the captain has slowly turned around, ready to leave.

Probably because he felt that the matter was settled, and Tang Jiumin, a human being, couldn't make any bigger waves.

The surrounding protoss warriors began to approach the high platform, and they no longer looked at Tang Jiumin with a strong murderous look in their eyes, but they were not open to comment.

After all, to them, this is a human being, especially if there are mechanical legions transformed by humans outside.

And at this moment, Tang Jiumin on the high platform finished adjusting.

Looking up again, a thin layer of cold sweat had already oozed from his forehead, and his face was also a little abnormally rosy, which seemed to be caused by excessive tension.

"Wait a minute!" Tang Jiumin shouted suddenly: "Mr. Captain, our business is not over yet."
