Chapter 238: In the cell

Qingcheng Xie is a captive of Wen Duan's special treatment.

He was locked in a separate compartment, although his hands and feet were shackled, but he was not handcuffed to the wall like the others, the cabin even had a bed, a desk, a chair.

Qingcheng Xie was lying in bed, his head still hurting.

It's been a while since he woke up, and everything that happened before is spinning wildly in his head. Yun Li, Yu He, the attack of the dream-breakers, Man Chen who was sent to the car ......, all of them are connected together, drawing an answer that he is eager to find. That answer makes him extremely sick, but he can't escape it.

He was very desperate at first after being locked in.

He wondered how Yu He was doing now.

Nor do we know about the others, or indeed the whole battle.

He tried to ask the guard, but the guard was a Yuzhu Lu clone, who only obeyed orders, and no matter what he said, she was stolid outside, and human feelings were not hers.

Just when he was losing his mind, he suddenly realized that the Bo Feng system on his wrist hadn't been removed.

This is Yu He carefully modified, will not be detected by electronic detectors, from the appearance of the past, is a simple leather bracelet, and Yu He himself wear the kind of completely different, so it was not searched.

If Bo Feng is still around, he can still communicate with others.

Qingcheng Xie lay back down on the bed with the attitude of giving it a try, and put his hands in front of his eyes. In this way, to an outsider, he seems to have acted out of desperation, but in fact, through this action, he is sending instructions to the Bo Feng system with the softest voice and the most natural gesture.

He first tried to connect to Yu He, but without success, Bo Feng replied, "User Yu He has disappeared from the line".

This answer made Qingcheng Xie's fingertips tremble slightly.

This combat link system within the user disappears represents either death in battle or the destruction of the bracelet, Qingcheng Xie in this moment seems to have returned to the day of the Hiroshima naval battle, the day he could not help him ......

He didn't know how much self-control it took to keep himself from having an emotional breakdown.

He gritted his teeth and said in a very soft but shaky voice to the Bo Feng system, "I got it. ...... pick up the headquarters."

The line at headquarters is open.

" Qingcheng Xie ? You are ......" came the stunned voice of the commander-in-chief on the other end of the line.

Qingcheng Xie said, "You should have seen it through Bo Feng camera sync, I was in the dungeon."

His voice was weary, but he couldn't stop for a moment.

"I don't have much time left to communicate with you, and I don't know if I'll have another chance to communicate with you. Now you answer what I ask and try not to interrupt what I want to say, okay."

Commander-in-Chief: "...... Good. Go ahead."

"Do you have any information about Yu He's whereabouts."

"He's lost contact, we can't reach him, and we thought he was with you."

"He's not with me." The last bit of hope deep inside disappeared, and Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes to keep himself as calm as possible.

His throat rolled, then asked, "So, what about Yan Chen."

The commander-in-chief said, "He's back."

"Is it ......" Qingcheng Xie said softly.

After Qingcheng Xie had a general guess that Man Chen would be sent back, it was no longer surprising. This answer only confirmed his deepest thoughts.

"Well. After you destroyed the Radical Cold Light device, the network of Bo Feng system suddenly broke down, at that time I knew something must have happened on your side, and immediately sent a group of people, heading in your direction. As a result, halfway there, our support unit ran into a jeep."

"At first we thought it was an attack vehicle, but there was no one firing from the car." The commander-in-chief continued, "After the hijacking, we found that the back seat was conscious Yan Chen ...... driver was a mechanical warrior and ran ......"

Hearing this, a strong sense of sadness, steep from Qingcheng Xie's chest, he knew he might not have the opportunity to contact the headquarters, in this moment, Qingcheng Xie no longer have any scruples.

He said to the Commander-in-Chief, "That's not a mechanical warrior at all."

The commander-in-chief was still saying: "This is really strange, we once suspected that Yan Chen's body was tampered with, but after the full instrument check found no, he was simply sent back. But why was he the only one? What did you encounter afterwards?"

"......" Qingcheng Xie did not give a response to the commander-in-chief, he took a deep breath and repeated again, "Did you hear what I just said. That's not a mechanical warrior."

The commander-in-chief stopped, and inside the bracelet was a silky ring of electricity.

"......"

"Yu He has been telling you this for the past three years." Qingcheng Xie said. Qingcheng Xie said, "He has told you many times that many of these surreal weapons on the island are fakes, projections of virtual reality, flecks on the wings of butterflies, fronts used by Dela Man to defend himself and stall for time in order to develop truly powerful weapons. None of you believe him."

"......"

"Because he was a madman, because we had despised him, so no matter what he said, no one always believed it."

Qingcheng Xie said in a low voice, "But I saw it. I saw everything he described, and he never lied to you. Dela Man Island is a semi-illusory island, clouding your perceptions through magnetic fields, noise, vision ...... and all that. The driver who brought Man Chen back was just a transformer, that's all."

"If you would have listened to him earlier, it would have been too late for a weapon like the Radical Cold Light to be invented. Now that the Radical Speed Chill Light has been destroyed and there will be no more such horrors on this island for the time being, I would ask you to have all the follow-on 2-3 units land and end this war as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the variables will be."

The commander-in-chief said, "...... Qingcheng Xie , do you know what you are talking about? Now let the second and third troops land directly, in case there are any more changes, it will be a total loss."

"You won't have any problems if you land now." Qingcheng Xie said, "Can you put aside your inherent perceptions and trust us this time?"

"......"

"I'm afraid Yu He has now fallen into the hands of Wen Duan." Qingcheng Xie took a breath and said, "I'm sure you've been aware of the fact that he is a blood compulsion for a long time. To be honest I'm worried about him now, he's working as a double agent for you, Dela Man can't have been unaware of it, but they've kept him, I don't think it's normal. Now it seems that the only reasonable explanation is that his use is so high that Dela Man doesn't want to give up."

The ceiling inside the cell is low and depressing.

Qingcheng Xie stared at the top of that day and said, "The power of the blood compulsion, you have seen it before. I'm worried that they took him after the Radical Cold Light was destroyed because he was the only one who could topple up and become the new tool for whatever killing ...... you said to me before that they were testing a blood compulsion diffusion device, and it could very well be that thing."

"But they haven't moved yet-"

"They haven't moved yet, that just means they haven't succeeded for some reason yet, but it won't take long." Qingcheng Xie said at the end, his hand clenched into a fist, as bloodless as possible, "it will not take long, you understand? Three years ago you didn't believe Yu He, so you produced the radical speed cold light, three years later can you believe me once? Don't let a new weapon appear again. Don't let Yu He stand across from us don't let him get hurt again. Don't let more of your people sacrifice."

The voice trembles softly like a broken candle.

"Even if it's just this once, okay? Officer."

The commander was across the room and did not answer for a long time.

Qingcheng Xie couldn't see his face, in fact he couldn't see anything but the blackness of the ceiling in front of him.

His heart was beating violently inside his chest, and his blood, which had been running for thirty-four years, gave him the courage to say all these words to a man who was in the same profession as his parents.

It's almost like asking for help.

Qingcheng Xie murmured, "Even if it's just this once ......"

Bo Feng system from the end of the sound of footsteps, the commander seems to go to a quieter environment, there is no one else around.

Then Qingcheng Xie heard him say, " Qingcheng Xie ...... Actually, it's not that I haven't believed."

"!!!"

"I have believed." The commander-in-chief has a few sighs in his voice, "I've worked on a lot of cases over the years, I understand that a lot of truth is buried in the deepest part of the mud, the surface some times simply cannot be trusted."

"Then you-"

"But I'm just a man who has received orders to achieve victory. I still have the upper echelon above me, and the upper echelon above me ...... have my peers and superiors weighing in on every decision I make, do you think my upper echelon who are sitting in their offices watching the battle images are going to believe a patient's word that it's false? And even if they did believe it, would they admit that it was a poor decision due to their inability to see the emperor's new clothes?"

Qingcheng Xie suddenly felt a bucket of ice being poured into his stomach: "You ......"

The chill spread from the bones: "You actually believed it a long time ago, so Yu He once said you were the only person who tried to investigate ......"

"Yes. I have even tried long ago to convince those around me, to convince those above and those below." The commander-in-chief said, "What's the use. Do you think you or I, we can change the inherent thinking of people? Can I change a paper military order and the hearts and minds of 100,000 troops? In the eyes of many people, I am just a tool that can be replaced at any time!"

"......"

"I understand your feelings, Qingcheng Xie, and I don't want anyone to be cannon fodder for this battle, but when the cannon fire falls, that's when the robbed ash will be created. If I were in Yu He's position, I would have made the same decision and let myself become ashes."

Qingcheng Xie's eyes are still dizzy for a while: "...... Is there no other way? Must we do this, follow the rules and orders? ...... Must we do this ...... and wait for Dela Man to be ready to answer the battle and shed more blood ......? Aren't human lives more important than an officer making the right decision ......"

The commander countenanced.

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes: "There's really nothing you can do about it ......"

"Don't think about it, some things can't be changed even if you know the ending. Other ways will only be more difficult to achieve than this-"

When the commander's words came to an end, Qingcheng Xie's heart was like a light suddenly shining down.

He suddenly realized something: "Another way? What do you mean?"

"......"

"So there is a law, right?!"

The commander did not have any hope at all for this and just sighed: "Alas! ...... there is no point for me to talk to you about this, it is just a hypothesis, there is no possibility that any person can meet Zhen Hui directly without Zhen Hui's defense."

"Why do you want to see her directly?" Qingcheng Xie whispered, "Although this organization was established by her, but the island is almost full of a group of extinct madmen, most of them do not exist among the so-called loyalty and unity, what is the use of capturing the thief and catching the king? Could it be--"

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused.

Immediately after a creepy chill ran up from the bottom of his feet.

"- she's not just the Führer, she's the central key that they must not lose for some reason, right?"

The commander-in-chief did not answer, but Qingcheng Xie had suddenly caught the key in the torrent of information. He thought of Yu He once told him that the commander-in-chief also seemed to be looking into some things about Cuizhen Duan. After a long period of dead silence, he opened his mouth: "Did you ...... you go to the information Yu He gave you, have been investigating? You believed what he said, believed that there was indeed this master valve that controlled all the energy on the island?"

"...... is right." The commander said, "At this point, there is no more information for me or you to hide."

"I have indeed been sending people to gather information from the shadows. And just a few days ago, I received the most precious and important piece of information that I have so far - Zhen Hui is the 'mother' of the whole Dela Man Island, just as you said, she gathered under the seat, are a group of people without loyalty and filial piety and even How can she rest easy and not worry about them seeking power and usurping the throne, and still make them work for her with all their hearts?"

"So she figured it out." The commander said, "She most likely implanted a most important chip inside her brain. That chip is linked to the island's core energy station, and its smooth operation depends entirely on whether her brain waves are still active. It's the only on/off valve."

"That is, as long as her brain remains alive, the island's water, electricity, wind and heat ...... all those equipment that the researchers cherish beyond measure and condense their life's work, will be able to operate normally. Dela Man everything on the island, its control master valve, not the power station, not the water station, not any machine - but her own life!!!"

The Commander-in-Chief paused for a moment and continued:

" Zhen Hui, I'm afraid, accomplished such a hook before she formed this team, she went through some sort of elaborate and insane design that completely glued her brain activity to this out-of-this-world island, transforming the physical master valve that manipulates everything into a biological one. The island wasn't big, it was still a manageable range, so it took her decades to finally be able to do this, and as long as she lived, everything on the island was protected, and once she was brain dead ......"

Qingcheng Xie pupils tightened, already know the answer: "Once she is brain dead, the brain chip activity will stop, the master valve will close, the whole island will 'die' with her, all the light is extinguished, all the machinery is no longer running, all the scientific achievements are destroyed in an instant."

"Yes, they were born of her, and seeing her as their mother, they were martyred for her. She will not allow her Dela Man world to fall into anyone's hands." The commander said, "According to my intelligence, as soon as she dies, the island will have an energy backlash within ten minutes of the island-wide power and energy cuts, and all the heat energy will converge on the core of the power supply station, and then - the whole island explodes into dust and ashes."

The commander finished.

The last few words ended in a long silence.

"Is that why it's always Wen Duan who comes forward, while Zhen Hui hardly ever leaves home." Qingcheng Xie whispered, "Because not only she herself, but all the people on the island fear her death. They will defend her life with all their abilities."

"You're right."

Qingcheng Xie : "She makes herself one with the island ......"

Commander: "She allowed herself to become one with the island."

In this way, the enemy must be very careful not to have any vulnerability to attack Cuizhen Duan himself directly.

"So as I said, this solution is useless." The commander sighed, "We'll just have to do it the hard way, and I'm sorry, but ......"

But at that moment, Qingcheng Xie suddenly heard footsteps from outside!

"Someone's coming!"

With a sudden jolt, he didn't even have time to say more to the commander-in-chief before he quickly disconnected the Bo Feng system, removed his hand ring, and hid it in a more unobtrusive coat pocket.

And just as he did this, the door to the dungeon opened.

A tall man in a black trench coat walked in from behind the door bending down. His hands in the trench coat pockets, raised his head, his features like Cuiwei snow mountain cold and steep, the arch of the eyebrows is extremely deep, the nose shrugged, all over the body is a slow and easy from.

Wen Duan, who had finished his examination of Yu He, appeared in the cell.

"You seem to have just finished a conversation with someone." Wen Duan was followed by two bodyguards, both of whom were his die-hard cronies.

He gestured to his bodyguard to bring him a chair, straightened his clothes, and sat down in front of Qingcheng Xie.

The cell was dimly lit, and he lifted his eyes to survey any little detail of emotion that passed over Qingcheng Xie's face and said with a smile, "Dare I ask who Professor Xie is talking to in this dungeon?"

"......"

" Yun Li didn't search the Bo Feng system from you, but I don't think so."

Wen Duan was polite, but there was an oppressive force in that politeness: "Take it out."

He paused and added, "I admire you, and I hope you won't force me to use roughness on you."

Qingcheng Xie did not move.

Wen Duan raised his eyebrows, waited, and watched him.

Qingcheng Xie's peach blossom eyes are ancient, so the eyes of the eyes of the eyes, but it seems to penetrate the thick skin wrapped in Wen Duan, snowy bayonets, straight into the heart of the other side.

Instead of handing over Bo Feng , he suddenly said

"I used to admire you too, Wen Duan."

"What does ...... mean." Wen Duan smiles.

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes, and his chest barely rose and fell when he said the next words.

"Or should I just call you, Lisheng Chen?"
