Ji Xiuyun's request caused the entire hall to fall into silence.

When it came to confidentiality, the scientific research department was on par with some military projects. Everyone was an adult and sensible. If they really agreed to let Ji Xiuyun go, who would take responsibility if something happened?

Who would take responsibility?

The acting minister didn't want to take the blame at all.

If he were to nod his head, the blame would be placed on his face. How could he nod his head?

Of course not.

Therefore, no one spoke.

Everyone looked at the sky, the earth, you, and me, but no one answered.

Ji Xiuyun wasn't in a hurry.

He knew very well that there was only one exit to the laboratory. As long as he guarded it, no one would be able to enter or leave.

As for the problem of not being able to talk about this in the future, it wasn't a big deal for the Marshal.

Strictly speaking, his behavior had already violated the confidentiality treaty and several legal provisions. His political opponents might use this as an excuse to attack him in the future.

However, compared to the rewards he would receive if he succeeded, it was acceptable to be punished or even demoted.

Not to mention that it wasn't easy to deal with him.

Maybe those people who attacked him would be slandered instead. As long as his army and Marshal Kevin were still there, even if he was demoted, it wouldn't be a big loss for Ji Xiuyun.

Of course, unless there was something wrong with the Empire's political system, a demotion would never happen.

After all, the Free Army in the 18th Galaxy was still causing trouble. The Empire couldn't afford to lose a famous general.

Therefore, the most likely possibility was to follow his instructions and deal with the people in the scientific research department who made a big deal out of this.

As for the change in attitude from the Emperor, Ji Xiuyun didn't care at all.

After all, the Marshal was going to leave the First Galaxy for war.

If you have the ability, why don't you try to drag the military down?

Let's see if Teacher Kevin won't blow your head off.

Ji Xiuyun remained calm and unruffled. He lowered his eyes to look at Yue An, who was cowering in his arms, and reached out a finger to poke him on the head with a moderate force.

"Meow." Yue An reached out its two little paws and hugged the finger.

The acting minister seemed to be awakened by this soft meow.

He came back to his senses and looked at Ji Xiuyun, who was gently comforting the fluffy little guy in his arms. He thought for a bit and said, "Marshal Ji, I can't make this decision."

Ji Xiuyun looked up at him and said, "The scientific research minister has the right to inspect illegal experiments."

"… I'm the acting minister."

The Marshal wasn't fooled at all, "There's also acting minister."

The acting minister was on the verge of choking.

How do you know the rules of the scientific research department?!

I really don't want to be blamed!

I just want a good night's sleep!

The big baby in the petri dish in my laboratory is waiting for me to go up and see it tomorrow morning!

The acting minister said bitterly, "I don't have the authority to go down."

"I can go down."

Ji Xiuyun was still calm and unhurried, "You just have to nod or shake your head."

… F * ck.

The acting minister was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"As a scientific researcher, I absolutely oppose and protest against experiments that violate the law and the rights of intelligent life."

The acting minister thought for a while and decided to drag everyone present down with him.

"If you want to go down, you can, but please bring at least three law enforcement instruments. We want to be able to see the situation clearly, just in case."

Come on!

Fake it!

Let's sink together!

Anyway, you're all accomplices after seeing the images!

The acting minister gave up on himself.

This request was like giving a pillow to Ji Xiuyun when he was about to sleep.

If it weren't for the fact that external communication signals were blocked here, Ji Xiuyun would definitely do something like live streaming.

The Marshal nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

After the acting minister dragged everyone present down with him, he seemed to be very straightforward.

He gestured generously, "Please go ahead."

Ji Xiuyun took off his cloak and handed it over to the soldier beside him. In his bosom was a white furry ball that stuck out half of its head. He raised his leg and directly kicked the heavy alloy door flying out.

To everyone's surprise, it wasn't an elevator behind the alloy door.

The door that flew out fell straight down, bringing with it the sound of the wind. After a few seconds, there was a loud thud when it hit the ground.

Ji Xiuyun lowered his head and looked at the cat in his arms.

Yue An shrank into his coat and meowed at him.

You did this?

Yes, it was me.

Ji Xiuyun reached out to the soldiers next to him and asked for three law enforcement instruments. He zoomed in on the three images and hung them in the main hall of the scientific research headquarters. He pressed down on Yue An's little head and directly jumped down from the hundred-meter elevator.

Everyone in the hall exclaimed in unison.

In their eyes, this was no different from suicide.

For an ordinary person, ten meters was enough to cause death.

This was a height of a hundred meters!

However, Ji Xiuyun was not an ordinary person. His physical fitness was far beyond that of an ordinary human.

Currently, no one had thoroughly studied SS-level Gene Bodies. At least, all the published academic materials about SS-level Gene Bodies were only guesses based on facts.

Most of these facts came from Marshal Ji's many years of battle performance.

Ji Xiuyun's reputation as an SS-level Gene Body spread far and wide. However, no one took him seriously at first.

He became famous when, as a colonel, he was asked by Marshal Kevin to lead a Mech Clan of eighty people to escort a large logistics supply ship.

During the escort, they encountered a fleet of Interstellar Pirates.

The fleet had two frigates and a heavy cannon flagship. For a Mech Clan equipped with light mechs, it was simply bad luck. They were completely outclassed in terms of equipment.

No one was optimistic about this escort mission. Even Marshal Kevin said that if necessary, they should just blow up the supply ship and withdraw.

In the end, Ji Xiuyun did not listen.

He piloted his nimble light mech and avoided the gunfire and stray bullets under the cover of his colleagues. He threw himself onto the deck of the local frigate and punched through the deck of the enemy's frigate in full view of everyone. The pirates who thought that victory was in their grasp were scared witless.

Then, Ji Xiuyun led his colleagues and piloted his mech with a few faster-than-light gravity guns to turn the enemy's frigate upside down.

Before they boarded the enemy's flagship, the enemy had already retreated.

Although they were almost beaten up by Marshal Kevin afterward, the result was a perfect victory.

Ji Xiuyun became famous after this battle. Many researchers in the field of human science had developed a strong interest in SS-level Gene Bodies.

Punching through the deck of a frigate with a single punch had completely exceeded the concept of "physical fitness" for ordinary people.

Whether it was physical fitness, strength, hardness, or healing power, SS-level Gene Bodies were many times stronger than S-level Gene Bodies.

Most scientists believed that this was a kind of evolution.

After humans entered the Big Universe Era, after a long period of accumulation, they achieved a qualitative breakthrough in quantitative change. Human genes were probably preparing them to enter the universe with their bodies alone.

In fact, even Ji Xiuyun was not very clear about his own upper limit.

He jumped from a height of 100 meters, and his feet made two large dents in the hard alloy door. However, he only felt a slight numbness in his legs.

This was also why Yue An could break someone's sternum by jumping on them with a little force, but Ji Xiuyun could only almost suffocate when Ji Xiuyun was kicked.

The researchers who watched Ji Xiuyun lift the ceiling of the elevator through the three big screens almost stopped breathing.

"Is this an SS-level Gene Body?"

"It's completely beyond the scope of human beings …"

"I remember that there was an SS-level spirit a few hundred years ago, right?"

"Yes, the country he was born in sliced him into pieces. He didn't even have the chance to show off the brilliance of an SS-level spirit."

"Rumor has it that the Star Web was built with his brain as a blueprint …"

The acting minister turned his head and scolded, "Shut up!"

The researchers suddenly fell silent. They all looked up at the big screens obediently and did not speak.

Ji Xiuyun lifted the ceiling and looked down at the two middle-aged men who heard the noise and walked to the elevator with weapons.

His gaze fell on their faces, and he looked at each other condescendingly. He swung his arm and threw the remains of the ceiling aside.

"Long time no see," he said, his voice so cold that it was as if ice could fall from it.

The expression of the middle-aged man changed. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, and the weapon in his hand was subconsciously aimed at Ji Xiuyun who was standing on the ceiling of the elevator.

Three small law enforcement instruments flew around the Marshal, and they transmitted the scene as it was.

The middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

When Ji Xiuyun heard his question, a strange and sarcastic expression appeared on his face. The next second, he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "You stole my cat."

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the messy scratches in the laboratory. His face turned green and white.

"Who stole your cat!"

The Marshal's tone was indifferent. "You."

The middle-aged man looked angrily at Little Furball, who was poking its head out from Ji Xiuyun's collar.

"Bullsh * t!"

Yue An, who was nestled in Ji Xiuyun's arms, meowed angrily at the middle-aged man below.

Bullsh * t!

This cat has abstained from eating for hundreds of years. I don't even use cat litter anymore!

You're the one who's bullsh * tting!

Although Ji Xiuyun did not understand, he understood that Yue An was angry at the man.

Since he did not understand what Yue An meant, he assumed that Yue An was scolding the man on behalf of him.

In the eyes of ordinary researchers who didn't know what was going on and thought that a big shot had stolen the cat for an experiment, Yue An looked like an aggrieved little furball that was angry and scared after seeing the person who had hurt it.

"What a sin …"

"Senior, don't you have nightmares when you sleep at night?"

The Acting Minister wanted to tell them to shut up again, but when he turned his head and saw the disapproving looks on the young people's faces, he swallowed his words.

Well, he thought.

Tracing the origin was the most fundamental pursuit of researchers, but they could not lose the most basic respect for life.

The Acting Minister felt gratified as he turned his head back.

On the screen, Ji Xiuyun took a step forward, bent slightly, and was about to jump off the ceiling of the elevator.

The middle-aged man raised his weapon. "Don't come down!"

Ji Xiuyun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He casually picked up two small pieces of broken alloy and threw them down, knocking the weapons out of the hands of the two men. Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped down. With lightning speed, he tied the hands of the two weaklings who basically had zero fighting strength behind their backs, handcuffed them together, and dragged them into the laboratory without the slightest trace of politeness.

"You can't come in!

This is the most secure research laboratory in the Empire! "

The two middle-aged men struggled with all their might. "You have violated the confidentiality agreement!

And the law of the Empire … "

"Oh?

Didn't I come in a long time ago? "

Ji Xiuyun carried the two men and stood at the entrance of the genetic science laboratory. He glanced at the door that had been scratched by the cat's claws. Under the camera of the law enforcement instrument, he took out a record card from the entrance of the genetic science laboratory. Then he squatted in front of the two men and used the hard record card to slap their faces.

"You're accusing me of violating the law?"

"You're too modest. I'm not as good as you."

The marshal stood up and looked at the other two law enforcement instruments that had quickly entered working mode and began to scan the surrounding law enforcement instruments. He flipped the card in his hand over and over again for a long time before he inserted it back into the card slot at the entrance of the laboratory. He then stroked the cat that was snuggling in his arms.

The researchers who were watching the big screen in the hall were all dumbfounded.

The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

What did that mean?!

What did that record card for SS-level Gene Body Basic Exploration mean?

The people in First Ladder had experimented on the Empire's Marshal???

Were they crazy?!
