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.
All kinds of identification devices along the way continually scanned Su Mo.
"Identification passed!"
"Welco ho, Colonel Su Mo."
...
Along the way, NCOs from Star Ring City passing by saw Su Mo and raised their hands in salute one after another.
"Sir!"
...
Su Mo slightly nodded in response to them.
Soon, he arrived at the administrative hall, which was quite large but didn’t have many NCOs handling business.
Su Mo turned his head to take a look and quickly found a guidance desk, walking straight over.
"Hello, sir, I am Sergeant Wei Li. How may I assist you?"
A rather young male NCO, seeing Su Mo walking over, imdiately stood up, saluted, and respectfully greeted him.
"It’s like this. I received a compulsory mission, but when I inquired at the task scheduling center, they hadn’t issued it to . Who should I consult in this situation?"
Su Mo briefly described the situation.
Sergeant Wei Li froze for a mont after hearing this, having never encountered such a situation before. However, he quickly responded.
"Sir, in this case, I suggest you go to Office No. 1 in the Comprehensive Departnt of the First Legion to understand the situation with Colonel Bixley."
"Alright, thank you."
Su Mo simply replied and then left.
A mont later, Su Mo found Office No. 1 in the Comprehensive Departnt.
The door was open.
Su Mo walked to the door and raised his hand to knock.
Knock, knock!
"Co in!"
A steady voice sounded. Looking closely, you could see inside the office, a middle-aged man with graying temples, a calm expression, wearing a Colonel’s uniform, busy handling docunts at the desk.
After Su Mo walked in, he greeted him.
"Hello, Colonel Bixley, I am Colonel Su Mo."
Bixley raised his head, surprised to see another Colonel.
"Hello, Colonel Su Mo, how can I help you?"
"It’s like this. I received a compulsory task, but the task scheduling center didn’t have this order. Can you help check it?"
Su Mo roughly explained the situation to him.
"Please take a seat; I’ll look into it for you."
After hearing this, Lieutenant Bixley was also sowhat puzzled.
Su Mo quietly sat on a chair waiting, and within five or six minutes, Colonel Bixley spoke.
"Colonel Su Mo, I’ve checked, and you currently have no assigned tasks. Star Ring City also hasn’t issued any tasks to you. May I see the task information you received?"
"Mm."
Su Mo raised his bracelet and opened it, showing him the ssage.
Colonel Bixley looked at the ssage and efficiently conducted a search. After a while, he spoke.
"Colonel Su Mo, I checked, and there is indeed such a task at Star Ring City. But this task is not compulsory and has not been assigned to anyone; there might be an error in one of the AI’s steps."
"So, does that an I don’t have to execute this task?"
Su Mo asked in a low voice.
"Yes, but..."
Colonel Bixley said halfway, suddenly revealing a puzzled expression.
"What is it?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow and quickly asked.
"It’s strange. There’s a ssage for you in the system marked undelivered, which shouldn’t normally happen. Please wait a mont; I’ll resend it to you."
Colonel Bixley replied to Su Mo.
As Colonel Bixley operated, he found that it still failed to send.
His expression instantly darkened as he rapidly conducted a query operation.
Su Mo increasingly felt sothing was wrong.
Just then, Su Mo’s electronic bracelet suddenly vibrated, popping up a notification.
"You have an urgent notification email."
Su Mo’s eyelid twitched, and he promptly opened the email.
"Dear Colonel Su Mo, the Royal Order of Twelve Knights recruitnt selection will be held on March 12 at the First Birthplace·Timalclo Starry Sky Arena. Please be sure to attend on ti; failure to participate will be considered a withdrawal..."
After reading the email, Su Mo’s eyelid twitched violently, and he spoke.
"Royal Order of Twelve Knights selection on March 12th? Today is February 12th, which ans there’s only one month left?"
"That’s right; this email should have been sent to you three months ago. Who had the audacity to manually modify the sending paraters, causing the email to fail?"
Colonel Bixley responded angrily.
"You an it was deliberate?"
"Yes, it was manually modified. Let’s go to the information departnt to find Lieutenant Fuzha; this email should have gone through him."
Bixley, his face ashen, stood up and left the office heading to the information departnt.
Su Mo followed suit.
In the hallway, NCOs who saw Bixley looking furious saluted stiffly or quickly avoided him.
It wasn’t long before Su Mo and Colonel Bixley arrived at the office area on the third floor where the information departnt was located.
As soon as they got close, they heard a gunshot.
Bang!
Bixley’s expression changed drastically upon hearing the gunshot, and he quickly rushed towards Office No. 4 of the information departnt.
Su Mo followed closely behind.
When they reached the door of Office No. 4, they found chaos inside.
They saw NCOs in the information departnt looking bewilderedly at a desk.
On that desk lay a corpse, its head blown open, blood continuously flowing down, and the handgun it held fell straight to the ground.
Su Mo glanced at it; the deceased officer was wearing a Lieutenant’s uniform, likely Lieutenant Fuzha.
Seeing this, Colonel Bixley’s face darkened further, like a powder keg about to explode. However, he didn’t erupt but suppressed his anger, turning to Su Mo and saying, "Colonel Su Mo, I’ll thoroughly investigate this matter. You’ll be notified with the specific results."
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you. I’m leaving now."
Su Mo didn’t linger and turned to leave quickly.
"Okay."
Colonel Bixley nodded.
...
In the hallway, Creator·Swallower spoke to Su Mo in a deep voice, "It seems like soone set you up, intending to stop you from entering the selection."
"It’s not as simple as being set up; this is big trouble. My cha!"
Su Mo frowned, almost knotting his brows together.
"I rember, the old man ntioned your cha still has three months."
"The problem is, there’s less than a month left for the Royal Order selection match. What will I use to compete? Don’t forget, the V Series Biological cha·Light of Sin Abyss was also reclaid by the old man."
Su Mo said with a headache.
"So what do you plan to do now?"
"What else? Go find the old man."
Su Mo involuntarily quickened his pace.
