Chapter 12: Prison

"He's fine, is he?" asked Glenfol, standing in front of the room where Val was imprisoned, to the doctor standing beside him.

"The inspection was not too much of a problem. The doctor replied with the report in his hand, "He is only a little weak now, and his life will not be in danger." ”

"That's right. Glenfol seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "So does that mean he can be interrogated as long as he recovers?"

"So to speak. The doctor replied, "As long as he can wake up, he can theoretically be interrogated." ”

"I see. Glenvel nodded, "So did you autopsy those corpses?"

"We're working on that. The doctor frowned and said, "I believe that the results will be available soon, and at that time, we will submit a report directly to the commander-in-chief." ”

"Got it, you can go. Grenvel said satisfied, "It's going to be a hassle for you all this time. ”

"There's nothing troublesome or no hassle, that's what we should do. The doctor turned and left.

Glenfol didn't leave, he looked through the window of the prison cell at Val lying on the bed, his eyes clearly revealing a sense of anger.

Traitor! Granfort suddenly thought of the tragic situation when his comrades died, and it was because of this traitor who was now lying in bed that they lost their most precious lives.

"I guessed you'd be here, Granfort. Rajer walked up to him with steady steps.

"Commander-in-Chief. Glenfol's expression immediately became solemn, "I'm just doing my duty, and such an important guy can't let anything go wrong." ”

"I can understand how you're feeling right now. Rajel patted Glenvel on the shoulder, "I have experienced the pain of my comrades dying at the hands of the enemy, I don't know how many times, I can feel your anger." ”

"I won't forgive him. Glenfol frowned and looked at Val and said, "Never, he betrayed us, we used to trust him so much, and he tore our trust to shreds and trampled it on the soles of his feet!"

"Yes, that's right. Rajer also looked at Val, who was in the cell, "But now I need him alive, because there are things we have to figure out, and if he dies, we won't get anything." ”

"I see what you mean. Glenfol thumped the door of the cell, "But even then I can't calm my mood much, and what are you going to do with him when we have everything?"

"He will be judged. Val said calmly, "I'm sure everyone knows his crimes, and you should decide what his final punishment will be." ”

"I already have a decision in my mind right now. Glenfol bit his lip, "You should know what I mean." ”

"Of course I do. Val sighed softly, "We'll get it done, but now we have more important things to do." ”

"Is it about the battle on the front?" asked Glenfol.

Rajer nodded solemnly: "The enemy's attack is too fierce, although I have sent Ander to command, but I am afraid his situation is also very difficult." ”

"Then we should send those guys on the field. "After all, that's what I want them to do here, and they probably won't refuse your orders." ”

"It's hard to say right now. "They are not the same as us, they have their own principles of action, and if the balance of war shifts, then I cannot guarantee what they will do." ”

That is, they will most likely not obey orders. Glenfol understands how difficult the situation is right now, "If they don't obey, then we're really going to have the most difficult time." ”

"The headquarters is almost empty now. Rajer paced, "Ender has brought the last of his troops to the front line, and now you are the only troops left in the headquarters who can fight. ”

"It's enough for us. Glenfol straightened up, "We Shadow are directly subordinate to you, the Commander-in-Chief, we were born to be loyal to the BPRD, and even at the last minute, we will be loyal to our duties." ”

"Of course you do. Rajer smiled slightly, "But the forces in your hands should be insufficient now, so I'm sorry for you, Glenfell, the final defense of the headquarters will be handed over to you Black Shadow." ”

"That's my pleasure. Glenfol had a proud expression on his face, "Then I'll go and replan my defenses now, and we'll definitely fight until the last moment." ”

Glenfort gave Val one last last look at the bed, and then hurried out of the cell.

"Old friend, it really hurts my heart to see you like this. Rajel muttered to himself, "But it's irreparable, and you've chosen that path in the end!"

"Actually, I know a little bit about you, but it's not very detailed. You have been living in agony for so many years, and your soul has been dead since the ship was destroyed in the fire. ”

"I'm afraid I'm talking a little too much. Rajer laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you can hear me, think about it one last time, and tell us everything you know, this is your last chance to atone for your sins." ”

Rajel stood in front of the door of the cell for a few more minutes, then left with a long sigh.

Almost as soon as Rajel left the place, Val's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and those eyes were filled with very mixed emotions.

"You know, Rajer. Val smiled bitterly, "But you can't feel my pain, you're just pitying me, I don't need that kind of mercy!"

"So we're going to keep going. The nameless man's voice rang in his ears, "Everything is still within the scope of the plan, and although there was a slight error, it did not cause much hindrance. ”

"I thought you were dead. There was a hint of mockery in Vaal's tone, "But you're still alive, and a guy like you won't be destroyed so easily." ”

"The same cannot be said. The Nameless Man laughed, "Rajer, he is indeed very powerful, it can be said that I was completely wiped out by him without even reacting, if it wasn't for the last remnants of your body in advance, I'm afraid I would really die." ”

"So I said earlier, don't underestimate Rajer. He can become the commander-in-chief not only because of his brain, but also because his strength can be called a monster. ”

"This time you're right. The Nameless Man replied, "I'm afraid that he alone will be enough to completely crush the two of us, and it seems that if you choose to attack head-on, it will be tantamount to suicide." ”

"The splinter you're using to infiltrate isn't all gone, is it?"

"Pretty much. The Nameless Man replied, "They've begun to wipe out the entire headquarters, and my splinters won't survive long, but some of the most stealthy ones will still work." ”

"In other words, can you still get some information from the outside world?"

"It's just a few. It is completely incomparable to the original, after all, a battle has been passed, and everything I have arranged before has been more or less destroyed. ”

"And what are you going to do next?" Val asked, "it doesn't look like things are going the way you thought they would, and you can't just stay in this cell with me." ”

"We've almost achieved our goal. "The BPRD headquarters is already in disarray, and Mammon has launched an attack, so the front line should be going well, so that even if we fail to kill Rajer, our goal will be roughly achieved." ”

"Our next goal is the database, and as long as we can get that thing and pass it on, our mission is almost complete. ”

"But Rajer will definitely come and get in the way. ”

"I've taken that into account. The Nameless Man replied with some confidence, "But I'm afraid they've all thought I'm dead by now, so we'll have a chance of surprise, and maybe we'll be able to make our plans go a lot easier." ”

"And when are you going to get started?" Val sat up from his bed impatiently, "but the night will soon pass. ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you when the time comes. The Nameless Man smiled and said, "Now you can sleep well here, and it would be nice to have a chance to rest once in a while." ”

"You're pretty persuasive. Val also smiled, "Then listen to you this time, but you also heard the conversation between Glenfort and Rajer just now, and the three kings seem to have already acted." ”

"That's true. "But they probably haven't decided which side to take, but now we have a better chance of winning on the front, so you should be able to understand what I mean." ”

"Are you saying they're more likely to be on our side?" Val snapped into his senses, "If that's the case, then we're really on our side." ”

"Anyway, this is the most likely. "Even if some of them are unwilling to join us, it will inevitably lead to infighting between them, and then the threat will be lifted directly." ”

"As you say, the situation is indeed under our control. Val pondered for a moment before he spoke, "We just need to wait for the opportunity to act." ”

"So I said it would be good to wait for the right time, and Mammon was going to do something, and when all was over, we were almost at the end of our plan. ”

"What is Mammon going to do?" Val asked, curiously.

"You'll see soon. "It will be a wonderful play, and it will be uninteresting if I say it now, and I am sure you will enjoy his performance." ”

"Perhaps. Val closed his eyes again and lay back on his bed, "It's ironic that we're in this prison and that we're in control. ”

Old friend, the path I chose will not change, Val thought silently in his heart. Maybe you'll never understand, but what I'm doing is what I think is right, we're destined to fight, or at least I've been prepared for it.

The headquarters was so quiet that it was as if nothing would break it, but in that tranquility, the darkness that had been thought to be gone was already about to move.
