Chapter 979 Retribution
Chapter 979 Retribution
The dark, damp and cold cell had three sides of concrete walls without windows, and only one side was a fence wall with a visitor window and an iron door.
A man in prison uniform sat on an iron chair in the middle of the cell, with a bright incandescent light hanging above his head.
The room was filled with a mixed smell of metal and rubber, making the cement-gray walls look even more depressing, gloomy and cold.
This was the interrogation room of Prison No. 11 in Avent City, where war criminals of the Southern Legion and Tyr’s servants were interrogated just a week ago.
At this moment, the prisoners sitting in the room for trial were disciples of the Enlightenment Society.
Two Weilant prison guards were sitting at the desk outside the interrogation room, one on the left and one on the right.
They didn’t understand the situation and thought this guy was an ordinary thief. The big guy who played the villain stared with copper bell-like eyes and shouted loudly.
”Tell me the truth! Name! Age! Organization! And that… where did you hide the research ship of the academy!” He flipped through the files to figure out what this guy had done, but he was confused about what this research ship was.
Research ship?
There is no sea in Avent City, how did this thing get lost here? !
A very realistic problem is that not all Willant people know the situation of the academy.
Even the vast majority of Willant people only have the impression that the academy is “a slug in the swamp”, and the only little knowledge they have is based on the few words in the “Southern Legion Victory Newspaper”.
It’s hard to say how many truths there are in that thing.
Facing the aggressive interrogation, Flynn closed his eyes and didn’t speak, with an expression that he had already started, and he didn’t intend to say a word.
From the moment he was caught, he was no different from a dead person.
The only regret is probably that he didn’t die.
But this is actually not a big deal.
He had been ready to sacrifice for his ideals a long time ago, and had long thought that there might be such a day in his future.
Therefore, no matter what dirty tricks those prison guards used, don’t even think about asking him a word!
The prisoners sitting here before were all dejected and dejected. It was the first time that the big prison guard sitting outside the iron window saw such an uncooperative troublemaker.
Seeing that this guy didn’t reply for a long time, he was immediately furious and stood up with a slap on the table.
”Don’t talk? I think you are itching for trouble!”
Seeing that he took out the key and was about to go in to punish this guy, the older prison guard on the side quickly reached out to stop this guy.
Seeing that his old colleague stopped him, the big prison guard said with his eyes wide open.
”Don’t stop him! It’s useless for anyone to come today! I must teach him a lesson!”
The older prison guard advised earnestly.
”Calm down! Don’t be impulsive! The Alliance has told us to just keep an eye on the man. If we can get the answer, we should ask. If we can’t, we shouldn’t rush to resort to any means. They will naturally find a way.”
”Damn it! I can’t stand it!”
”Listen to me, forget it…”
”…”
Listening to the dialogue, Flynn, who was sitting in the cell, was not afraid at all, and even wanted to laugh.
That’s it?
It seems that the Alliance is just like this.
These people still
can’t let go of the reserve of civilized people. In this way, Flynn survived the first round of interrogation without much effort, and it was so easy that he even looked down on the Alliance’s methods.
I don’t know how long it took, just when he was bored to the point of falling asleep, there was a rustling sound and footsteps outside the fence.
It seems that what happened just now was just the appetizer.
Obviously, the interrogator of the Alliance did not intend to let him go so easily. There might be two or three more rounds to deal with today.
Flynn’s eyelids twitched slightly as he was gathering his strength, but he soon returned to his normal expression and sat there with his eyes closed.
Just as he was ready to fight back, Fang Chang, who was standing on the other side of the iron fence, looked up and down at this stubborn man.
”Did he confess?”
Facing Fang Chang’s question, the prison guard standing by looked a little embarrassed and handed over a blank notebook in his hand.
”No… You said not to use any tricks to keep an eye on him, so we didn’t use any tricks. We just asked casually, but this guy didn’t appreciate it and didn’t confess a word.”
Fang Chang nodded, without saying much, motioned the prison guard to take the notebook and pen, then walked to the visiting window, pulled out a chair and sat down.
”I am a resident of Shelter No. 404, my name is Fang Chang Lai Ri, I heard you are also from the shelter?”
Hearing the word shelter, Flynn reacted a little, opened half of his eyes and glanced at the man on the other side of the iron window.
But it was just a glance.
Fang Chang raised his eyebrows.
”So you’re not from the shelter?”
Flynn sneered and said indifferently.
”No. 68, Flynn… There’s no point in telling you. Our shelter no longer exists.” “No. 68, Flynn
.”
Fang Chang nodded, gave a look to the stupid prison guard next to him, indicating that he should write it down, and then looked at the man sitting behind the iron window and continued in a gentle tone.
”… There is indeed no relevant record in our database, but it’s not too late to build a file from now on. The Alliance has many such shelter residents, they all live well and get along well with other wastelanders.”
Flynn curled his lips with a lack of interest.
”If you plan to convince me in this way, you’d better forget it.”
”I don’t mean to convince you, because there is no need to do that. We will soon know what we want to know,” looking at Flynn with a disdainful look, Fang Chang smiled lightly and continued nonchalantly, “By the way, do you know where this is?”
Flynn did not answer.
Or he was too lazy to answer.
Fang Chang ignored him and answered his own questions.
”This is Prison No. 11 in Avent City. The war criminals of the Southern Legion are being tried here. You are no smarter than them, and the same is true for the organization behind you. Since we can defeat the Southern Legion and Tyr, we can defeat you… and I can tell you responsibly that it is as easy as crushing an ant.”
Flynn sneered.
”You talk too much nonsense.”
”I heard from my comrades that you talk a lot of nonsense. How come you have nothing to say when you sit here?” Fang Chang smiled at Flynn, then looked at his watch and continued in a casual tone, “Time is almost up, I’m just chatting casually, don’t take it too seriously.”
Flynn did not relax his vigilance because of this sentence, and slightly grinned.
”Give it up, I won’t tell you a word.”
The voice was very light.
Like the tongue of a poisonous snake.
Looking at this guy who was still stubborn when he was about to die, Fang Chang suddenly smiled.
”Okay, I understand.”
After saying that, he took a last look at the time, stood up and cast his eyes on the prison guard who had not taken two notes, and gave a concise order.
”Transfer him to room 101.”
This guy was originally someone the college wanted.
In this case, let the college people interrogate him.
Jiang Xuezhou should be ready.
The prison guard stood up and stood straight, with a serious look on his face, his right fist pressed against his chest.
”Yes!”
Fang Chang waved his hand, and then walked out of the door leisurely.
As the order was issued, three burly prison guards opened the iron door and walked in.
The leading prison guard looked at his face with a grin, and his fists creaked – this person was the one who threatened to teach him a lesson before.
Flynn was not panicked at all.
However, looking at the back figure disappearing at the door, he couldn’t help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart.
What is that guy planning?
Why is he so sure that he can pry open his head?
The three prison guards who entered the cell did not give Flynn time to think about the problem.
Two of them stood on the left and right beside him to guard, and the leading man used the key to open his leg and handcuffs.
At the same time as he was untied, the two prison guards standing next to him held down his arms, handcuffed him behind his back and escorted him out of the door.
In fact, these actions were completely unnecessary.
In order to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, these people had already injected him with muscle relaxants, and his strength was not much greater than that of a baby.
Flynn sneered in his heart and let the three prison guards drag him away from the small dark room to the so-called Room 101.
To his surprise, the layout of Room 101 was not an interrogation room, but rather a server room.
Rows of light green computer cases were located in the corners, and pipes of varying thicknesses were entangled together, like a ball of wool tangled randomly.
The only chair was the “dental operating table” located in the center of the room. His intuition told him that the chair with an ominous aura was his seat. What
on earth were these guys trying to do?
Flynn couldn’t help but feel a little panic in his heart, and the look in his pupils was no longer as calm as before, and he even struggled instinctively for a few times.
However, the prison guard holding him did not indulge him, and directly pressed him on the chair, and then locked the shackles that fixed his hands and feet.
”Aren’t you quite capable? I hope you don’t pee your pants later,” the big prison guard grinned at Flynn and patted his face with his hand.
He actually didn’t know what the academy was going to do, he only knew that the one who did it was a C-level researcher of the academy.
This level should be pretty awesome, right?
Probably.
Flynn stared at the back of the big prison guard, and only started to pay attention to the situation in the room after all the prison guards left the room.
The man named “There’s a long way to go” was not here, instead there was a man and woman who looked familiar –
Flynn’s pupils shrank slightly, and he soon recognized that the two standing here were the dogs and couple who attacked him in the sewer before!
Seeing that guy staring at him, Ye Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.
”Flynn, right? We meet again.”
Flynn stared at him with a gloomy face, then glanced at the woman next to him who was fiddling with bottles and syringes, and squeezed out a hoarse voice from his throat.
”What kind of tricks are you doing…”
Truth serum?
Hallucinogens?
Haha, that kind of psychotropic drugs are useless to him.
”What are you talking about?”
Ye Shi followed his gaze and saw that he was staring at the computer case next to him. Then he smiled and said, “This, in your words, should be called a memory extraction device.” The
expression on Flynn’s face froze slightly, but it was only for a moment.
”Memory extraction device? Stop lying… How could you have such a thing?”
Looking at Flynn who was pretending to be calm, Ye Shi said with a smile.
”Not really, there is actually one in Dawn City, but it’s just not here.”
Flynn sneered and felt a little relieved.
Although he didn’t know where the alliance got the thing from, fortunately there was a large desert between here and there, and it was not so easy to get it here.
However, just when he was thinking about this, a cold voice suddenly floated into his ears, and his heart, which had just been put down, was raised back to his throat.
”There is indeed no such evil thing here, but if you have to use it, it’s not difficult for me to make one on the spot.”
Jiang Xuezhou, who had already completed his preparations, turned around and looked at the man lying on the dental operating table expressionlessly, and handed the syringe with the prepared medicine to Ye Shi.
The latter understood, holding the needle with two fingers, and walked towards the operating table with big strides.
Flynn’s face was filled with fear, and he instinctively shrank back, but he was tied up tightly and had nowhere to escape!
Although his intuition told him that “getting one on the spot” was bullshit, the confident look on the face of the guy walking towards him made him unable to find any flaws.
Looking at the man who was pressing step by step and the expressionless woman not far away, Flynn shouted loudly as if to convince himself.
”Stop bluffing! Do you think memory extraction technology is something that is commonplace? It is the accumulation and crystallization of our more than ten years of sociological experience-”
”More than ten years of accumulation?” Jiang Xuezhou looked at him coldly, as if looking at a twisted worm, “It’s just fully immersive virtual reality technology, but it induces people’s subconscious through continuous input of neural signals and digs out deep memories stored in the brain. You spent decades doing this? That’s it?”
If you want to ask why she is so clear, of course it is because she has experienced it before.
Flynn looked at Jiang Xuezhou in fear, looking at the needle approaching his arm, his Adam’s apple moved, but he couldn’t say a word.
He didn’t know the source of the memory extraction technology, he only heard that this thing could squeeze out all the secrets in the brain like a machine for squeezing sugarcane juice.
Since most people who have experienced that system have become demented, it is also used as a punishment and deterrent within the organization.
He has not violated the organization’s discipline, nor has he ever betrayed the organization, so naturally he would not have the opportunity to try that kind of thing…
It is precisely because of this that he does not know how to fight against this kind of thing!
Jiang Xuezhou looked at him indifferently and continued in a cold voice.
”…Do you think that’s some advanced technology? We didn’t make it just because we didn’t want some smart idiot who thinks he’s so great to use it to pry open our brains and then use it on ourselves one day in the future.”
”But you are an exception, because you are this smart idiot, and I don’t feel any guilt for using this technology on you.”
”I won’t forget what you did to me, and now I want to give it back to you…”
”Go and experience it yourself.”
After saying that, she looked at Ye Shi – the person who had pulled her out of the nightmare.
Seeing that the plot was over, Ye Shi didn’t say anything nonsense, and gave Flynn an injection on his arm without saying a word, and then smiled and patted the latter’s shoulder with a horrified face.
”Good luck, just think of it as a nightmare.”
Remember that Jiang Xuezhou seemed to have a lot of snow in his dream?
There were also some hyena-like aliens.
Although I don’t know what’s so scary about snow and a few hyenas, since she has vowed that this device can definitely squeeze out all the thoughts in a person’s head, I’ll just believe her.
Ye Shi still has faith in Jiang Xuezhou’s ability.
Flynn was about to say something, but before he could utter a syllable, a huge gravitational force enveloped his whole body, pulling his increasingly heavy consciousness out of his body. It
felt like his soul was leaving his body!
However, when his soul left his body, it was not only his five senses that were sealed, but also his memory!
He even forgot his own name!
The consciousness that was pulled out of the body floated in the air for a while, and was soon sucked into the bottomless black hole, and then fell into the endless scarlet!
He seemed to live in his own heart, and seemed to be standing in the center of the earth!
Then, I don’t know how long it took, a needle-like itch suddenly crawled all over his body, and before long, the itchy feeling turned into a sharp pain of burning on the flame!
”Ah——”
Unable to bear the intense pain, Flynn wanted to scream, but he couldn’t make a sound. He could only wail silently in the void without time and space.
Boundless fear filled his soul!
And under the infinite number of overclocking iterations, the things he feared and the fear itself began to materialize and become more and more specific!
The cells in his body seemed to be burning…
It was like falling into magma!
Soon the boiling magma turned into something else. He tried to see what surrounded him, and the scorching existence soon turned into what he feared the most…
Fire?
Why fire?
No one asked him.
He was asking himself.
The confusion in the dark just emerged in his mind, and the burning door of Shelter No. 68 appeared in front of him.
Not only the door of Shelter No. 68, his sight through the blazing flames saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces!
Among them were his omnipotent father, gentle and kind mother, lively and lovely sister… There were also friendly neighbors, amiable managers, his best friend and the girl he once liked.
Those familiar faces had been sealed in the deepest part of his memory, but the boiling flames dug them out without a single one left.
Not just them –
there were also the predators who killed them.
”No -!”
Flynn’s eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, wanting to rush in and save them from the predators, but the bridge, which was only ten meters long, seemed to be ten light years long. No matter how hard he ran, he could not reach the end until he collapsed in the flames exhausted.
Sparks spread outward!
He watched this memory play slowly to the end, and then slowly remembered his own and their names, as well as the hatred engraved in this unforgettable memory.
These ungrateful wolves –
the shelter gave them food, clothes… and technology they had never seen in their lives! Let them live a life they had never dared to imagine before!
But after they were full, they turned around and bit back!
He wanted to kill them all –
kill all the wastelanders on this planet!
At this time, blue figures suddenly appeared in the bloodshot pupils, and the fire rain in the sky melted away with their arrival.
People’s perception of pain has a limit.
Continuous pain will only make people numb and no longer respond to external stimuli – and this is obviously not what the “God” who controls everything wants.
Looking at the blue figures, Flynn’s face suddenly showed a ray of hope, just like a traveler crawling in the desert saw an oasis –
even if it was just a mirage!
Those people came towards him, and as he expected, with a smile on their faces, they extended a helping hand to him.
Flynn used all his strength and finally reached the hand.
But at the moment when the fingertips touched, a huge gravitational force enveloped his whole body again, dragging him into the endless darkness.
”From today on, you are a disciple of the Enlightenment Society.”
The familiar voice poured into his mind, and the world pieced together by the fragments of memory collapsed instantly and began to iterate again.
”No–!!!”
Enough!
I’ll tell you everything!
Stop this damn thing!
Flynn’s eyes were filled with fear, and he shouted a second time –
or wailed.
But no one paid attention to him.
No one heard him at all.
At the same time, in a cell in the No. 11 prison in Avent City, the second hand of the wall clock just passed one second…
…
5 pm.
Three hours had passed since the interrogation began.
Fang Chang glanced at the time on the VM and reached out to knock on the door of the next room, No. 101.
Just when he knocked for the third time, the door opened inwards, and then a smell of urine hit him in the face.
Frowning at the pungent smell, Fang Chang leaned in to take a look, and saw that someone lying on the operating table had a piece of turmeric under him.
”Did you burn his brain?”
”How could that be,” Ye Shi laughed, “He’s still alive, but his mental state is really bad.”
What the guy saw in his dream, he also saw on the holographic screen.
To be honest.
He even felt a little sympathetic to the guy.
But sympathy is sympathy, and when it’s time to use means, you still have to use means.
And compared to the Enlightenment Society, their means can already be regarded as merciful.
The memory extractor of the Enlightenment Society can really burn a person’s brain, but the program that Jiang Xuezhou has compiled can only make a person’s brain feel like being kicked by a donkey.
If the mind is not firm, it may indeed go crazy, but a mature person can still walk out of the nightmare.
”What an evil technology…” Fang Chang smacked his lips and admired from the bottom of his heart.
The several Weilante prison guards standing behind him, after seeing the situation in the room, looked at the little girl in a white coat with awe. She
is worthy of being a member of the academy!
She was really cruel!
There was no visible external injury on her body, and she was directly made incontinent!
This is too awesome!
At this moment, Jiang Xuezhou did not know that he and the academy had won the respect of the Weilante people for inexplicable reasons.
She waved to Fang Chang who was standing at the door, motioning him to come in and close the door, and then she handed a thumb-sized hard drive to Fang Chang.
”The clues have been found… Our research ship is probably no longer on Earth.”
Fang Chang frowned.
”Not on Earth? Then where is it?”
Jiang Xuezhou took a deep breath and said.
”Orion… Missile Cruiser.”
Ye Shi and Fang Chang looked at each other, and both of them were a little stunned and even confused.
But soon, the confusion gradually turned into excitement.
”Fuck? Are we going to open the space map?!” Ye Shi couldn’t help but exclaimed in a low voice. Fang Chang
ignored him, just coughed lightly, looked at Jiang Xuezhou seriously and asked.
”Let me confirm one thing first… This missile cruiser is a starship?”
”Yes,” Jiang Xuezhou nodded and said slowly, “All military ships in the Human Union era are starships. This starship was built in the starport at the Lagrange point, completed at the end of the three-year war, and crashed shortly after it was put into service… The specific cause of the crash is unknown.”
”Awesome!”
Ye Shi clenched his fists excitedly, wishing he could log off on the spot and tell the brothers on the forum this good news.
However, this excitement did not last for two seconds in his heart, and he fell to the bottom because of Jiang Xuezhou’s next sentence.
”In addition… According to our information, this starship stores 100,000 neutron torpedoes.”
After a pause, Jiang Xuezhou continued in a trembling voice.
”Although the specific explosion equivalent data has not been found, there is a saying…”
”At the end of the three-year war, the Human Alliance Aerospace Force carried out the bombing mission of the surface mother nest, which was carried out by this starship.”
