The middle-aged man straightened his institutional collar, and the self in the mirror was no longer the fierce officer he used to be, his face was numb, his hairline receded, and even the muscular and strong body that he used to have had inevitably become a paralyzed belly at this time. The only thing that remains unchanged may be those eyes, those eyes full of loyalty to the Empire.

His name was Zheng Zhong, and as his name suggested, he was loyal and had been tasked with managing the internal armament of the diving giant ship for the past twenty years.

To the uninformed outside, this is just an underwater mobile research institution, but he understands that his real duty, and that of this underwater warship equipped with countless weapon systems, is actually to carry out [imprisonment], all of which is to impose the strictest [imprisonment] on an enemy of the Empire. To this end, the Empire did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of manpower and money to build the world's most secret and impregnable giant prison, and called on him, the most promising leader in the former army, to serve as the warden and administrator here.

On the first day of the submarine launch, His Majesty the Emperor personally came to the scene, greeted and encouraged Zheng Zhong with cordial words, and even took off his gloves to shake hands with him. The latter, who had met the supreme ruler of the empire for the first time, was naturally moved by this great honor, and in a state of embarrassment, he almost expressed his loyalty gratefully in a posture of throwing himself to the ground. That day was the most memorable day in Zheng Zhong's life, and it was on that day that he saw for the first time the target he was about to be locked up in this huge prison - a lock covered with bronze rust, and a steel cube that seemed to have no gaps in it.

The head of the emperor informed him that there was a living person in the cube, and those bronze door locks engraved with various ancient runes were the first and most critical line of defense used to imprison that person, and only the emperor head could be opened. And his task is to faithfully carry out the task of imprisonment until the next order comes.

Since then, the long journey has begun.

The daily work in the submarine is very simple, but every day to carry out routine patrols, occasionally, to carry out an emergency exercise, no accidents, no surprises, day after day time passes, the personnel inside the submarine have changed one after another, the old faces have not been remembered, the new faces have been replaced, the only constant is the prison warden at the apex of this place, Zheng Zhong. Even if it is boring, he still performs his duties conscientiously every day, does his best to maintain every corner of the security system, and strictly disciplines every batch of fresh blood that is replenished. He looked forward to the coming of His Majesty the Emperor again, and looked forward to receiving the supreme reward again when the next order came.

However, more than a decade later, there is still no news of the new directive. As the years passed, Zheng Zhong gradually changed from the high-spirited young leader before to a decadent middle-aged man who was exiled.

And the steel cube placed in the deepest part of the submarine, for more than ten years, it has been standing there quietly, without the slightest sound coming out of it, as if the governor of the sentence "there are living people in it" is just a joke that has been taken seriously, think about it, there is no pipe in the surface of this strange cube, there is no way to monitor the interior or transport food inward, how can someone survive without eating for more than ten years?

Slowly, Zheng Zhong became scared. Seven thousand meters below the water, he felt that this diving giant ship was like an eternal submarine tomb, and inside the submarine where time was like a stationary, the only thing to be consumed and devoured was himself. Perhaps, if this psychological pressure is prolonged, he will really be driven crazy by himself.

A noisy shout sounded outside the door, Zheng Zhong looked directly at the mirror, and the middle-aged man inside actually had a happy smile on his face at this time.

Great, all these years, everything I have done has not been in vain, the goal of the [Imprisonment] mission, it turns out that it really exists.

Ten minutes ago, for the first time, sirens sounded in all corners of this entire submarine. The creature who had been imprisoned in a steel cage for twenty years had broken through the first line of defense, and when he appeared in the eyes of everyone, he was carrying the bloody heads of more than a dozen emperor guards, and scarlet blood was all over his body, and even his excessively long hair and beard that covered his entire face had been dyed crimson at this moment.

There is no doubt that the emperor has been killed by him.

Knowing this sad fact, Zheng Zhong roared and gave the order to open fire, but the monster that looked like a human had already rushed into the crowd the moment he raised his hand, and the slaughter suddenly descended without warning. The soldiers were trapped by the fear of accidentally injuring their teammates, and the advanced automatic rifles in their hands, which represented the highest level of imperial military technology, were all useless, and in a very short time when they had no time to react, they saw that the man seemed to be a killing god, and with only his unarmed hands, he easily tore apart those heavily armed soldiers one after another, and the blood mist bloomed one after another, and the hot blood fountain rose to the sky, and the narrow passage was already filled with a disgusting scarlet.

Yes, it's the [God of Killing] that has come.

The crazy figure gradually overlapped with the man in his memory, and Zheng Zhong ran against the current towards the crowd that poured into the passage, he knew that the man who was given that title could not be defeated no matter what.

But after returning to the captain's cabin, he still activated all the weapon systems that could be activated inside the submarine, and at the critical moment, he still chose to do his duty, in order to prevent the man from escaping from prison, even if he sacrificed the other soldiers in the passage, it didn't matter!

Explosions and screams rang out from the depths of the corridor, and after ordering the remnants of his forces to guard the door to the captain's cabin, he entered the room and took out the silver-white pistol that he had treasured and had been given to him by His Majesty before leaving in the drawer of his desk. The blank magazine was withdrawn, Zheng Zhong listened to the screams that kept sounding outside the door, and his heart stuck one bullet after another into the magazine without any fluctuations.

Today, Your Majesty, I am going to show my last loyalty.

A streak of blood splashed through the crack in the door, the doorshaft turned, and the bloodied man walked into the room with red footprints, and stopped on the opposite side of the desk, standing there silently.

"You're the last. Between his five fingers, viscous blood dripped down in a filamentous form, and Zheng Zhong could feel that in the depths of his face, which was covered by sticky hair, there must have been a pair of devilish eyes staring at him.

"Rest assured, I won't be the last to die. Zheng Zhong raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the man's head, trying not to let his arm tremble too much, "I have already started the last procedure of this submarine, and in a minute, the hull will disintegrate on its own, and you will be torn apart by that weight with me at this seven-thousand-meter depth." ”

"Hmm...... That guy's [dogs] are really loyal from generation to generation, how the hell do they do it?" a hideous smile erupted between the red-dyed whiskers, as if they were laughing at each other's behavior.

"This is called loyalty, loyalty to the country! A monster like you will never be able to understand!" Hitomi shrank, Zheng Zhong roared and pulled the trigger continuously, "Taste the power of the loyal king! monster!!"

The gunfire stopped abruptly, Zheng Zhong fell to the ground violently, and in front of him, the unscathed man had a broken arm with a gun in his hand, "Oh, loyalty, fool, misplaced loyalty, that's stupid." ”

"Do you know who the red-robed man who came here today is? You probably think he's the emperor, right? He's just a dead soldier in the man's captivity, and his years of training and plastic surgery are just to be used to one day replace him to go to some dangerous place to send a message to death—like in front of me. The man opened his clenched palm, and the flattened bullets fell on the table one after another, "and the last sentence he conveyed was, "The people outside, and the people I brought, let's use them as the training objects for your comeback first." ”

"What......" Ignoring the pain of the broken arm, Zheng Zhong got up and retorted fiercely: "Impossible! You dare to slander that adult, I will kill you...... Kill you!!"

"It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not......" The walls collapsed, and the jets of water poured in wildly, and in Zheng Zhong's sight that was about to be engulfed, the man lifted the messy hair on his forehead, and on top of his bloodstained face, a pair of clear eyes were exuding a playful light at this time.

"I'm just curious if one day, the guy's [dogs] see his true face and bite him back............ What a delightful picture that is!"

A burst roar spread out with the shock wave underwater, a large number of bubbles rushed upward, and the shattered steel fragments twisted and deformed under the weight of the deep water, and slowly plunged into the abyssal darkness. After 20 years of sailing, the submarine "Fort d'If" sank to the bottom of the sea today.
