Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 189 Trap and Capture

The 91rd year of the Deterrence Era, 2306 AD.

Under the dim streetlights, a drunken local government official was embracing a voluptuous woman.

The woman's perfume made him feel dizzy and mesmerized. Every now and then, he would rest his head on her fragrant shoulder and greedily inhale her scent.

"Director Hu, I'd like to ask you to take care of that matter we discussed before." The alluring woman deliberately leaned against the man's chest, feigning a coquettish tone.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely take care of it for you. It's getting late tonight, why don't you stay and not go back..."

As the man spoke, he reached into the woman's clothes.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the woman, something unexpected happened.

A bullet flew rapidly from a distance and struck the man in the back of the head instantly.

Before the man could even react, the bullet exploded inside his brain, shredding his head and other brain tissue.

His arm, which he had reached out to hold the woman, fell limply to the ground, and he collapsed to the floor, various colored liquids flowing down his ruptured brain.

But when the woman next to him saw Director Hu being shot dead, her first reaction was not to scream or run away. Instead, she pulled out a folding electromagnetic pistol from under her skirt and repeatedly pulled the trigger at the indistinct figure in the distance.

The other person was clearly shocked by her pulling out a big treasure from between her legs, and their movement stopped for half a second.

However, before she could fire two shots, the second bullet arrived.

The woman's hand holding the gun was hit directly, and the huge kinetic energy of the bullet sent her entire forearm flying off instantly, spraying blood everywhere.

The pistol in her hand naturally fell to the ground.

"Stop him!"

While the woman was fighting her opponent, from the bushes, Radjaz led a clone army of about twenty or thirty people to their feet and headed straight for the shadowy figure.

This is a trap. Both Director Hu and the woman who fought back were clones impersonating real people, all to lure out the person behind the scenes.

A year ago, the assassination attempt on Luo Congmin led to an unprecedented purge within the Earth Alliance.

The initial few hundred people were merely the direct perpetrators of the assassination; the remaining accomplices and local officials involved in the incident were subsequently reassigned.

Even today, assassinations of Earth Alliance officials continue to occur, turning the entire Earth Alliance into something resembling an assassin's creed, causing widespread fear and dread as everyone is afraid of being assassinated from the shadows.

What's even more infuriating is that most of the local officials linked these assassinations to Luo Congmin, believing that he was secretly directing them to eliminate dissidents.

Therefore, Luo Congmin finally could not tolerate it any longer and decided to thoroughly find out who was behind this a month before the presidential election.

To complete this trap, Radiaz put in a lot of effort, deploying more than a dozen high-energy drones, which came in handy at this moment.

In an instant, dozens of energy beams were fired at the fleeing black figure ahead, and a series of high-energy drones that had been hidden for a long time surrounded the opponent.

"boom!"

Although the energy weapons carried by drones are far less powerful than conventional electromagnetic weapons, they have the advantage of sheer numbers. A single salvo of concentrated fire created a dazzling fireball in the distance.

If the other party were a normal human being, they would probably be completely obliterated after this round of shooting.

But I'm afraid the other party isn't human!

"Buzz!"

Radiaz heard a buzzing sound from something, and he quickly looked up into the distance, only to see that the flames of the explosion had been split in two by the other party.

The flames seemed to have been cleaved in two by something, and the figure stood in the very center, coldly staring at Radiaz and the others.

It was a woman wearing a black trench coat, and in her hand she held a metal rod about half a palm's width. Countless streams of air extended outward from this metal rod, forming the shape of a katana.

She had a standard Asian face, but her expression was extremely cold, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. She seemed unsurprised by the trap set by Radiaz and the others.

"boom!"

The sniper in the distance moved, and an electromagnetic projectile, leaving a blue arc of electricity in the darkness, shot directly at the figure in the flames, intending to kill her just as she had killed the clone earlier.

But she simply parried upwards with the air blade in her hand.

Instantly, the bullet exploded in front of her, creating a burst of sparks, before being deflected off its trajectory and flying away, disappearing without a trace.

"C-81 point requests support."

Upon witnessing this scene, Rediaz realized that the other party was no ordinary person, and wisely chose to call for backup immediately.

To withstand bullets fired from an electromagnetic sniper rifle with bare hands and a knife requires an accuracy and wrist strength that is absolutely beyond the capabilities of a normal human being.

If the weapon wasn't created by the Trisolarans, then humanity may have encountered a second interstellar civilization spying on Earth.

"Surround her, she can't escape."

Rediaz took a few steps back, pulled out the electromagnetic cannon, which was as thick as his arm, from the back of his power armor, and aimed it at the distance.

However, when he was about to fire a shot at the other party, the woman simply raised her hand, and the drone force that had been surrounding her in mid-air suddenly turned its guns and blasted at the clones below!

"Buzz!"

The cold core modules carried by the drones quickly provided power, and the energy weapons ignited at the muzzles of the aircraft formed bright red dots in the night sky!

"Damn, she can hack into our machines!"

Radiaz felt his body suddenly stiffen as his close-fitting power armor unexpectedly turned against him, immobilizing him in place.

Seeing that the drone had finished charging and that he was about to be shot dead by these energy weapons, Rediaz chose to abandon his armor and switch to manual control.

"Crack!"

In an instant, he removed all his armor and then ran away as fast as he could, trying to get as far away from the area as possible.

"boom!"

In the second salvo, Radiaz's power armor, along with the clone army, was reduced to ashes by the drones' death rays.

The explosion illuminated half the sky, and when Regiaz slowly rose from the ground, the woman had vanished without a trace.

Left with no other option, Radiaz dusted himself off and decided to go back and rest before making any further plans.

This operation ended in failure.

"I made a mistake, but we can make a preliminary deduction that the attacker is most likely Zhizi."
