205 A different kind of test
Why did Li Erwen appear in Li Xiaofeng's hospital room? Hasn't this black-bellied British female spy returned home? To figure these two issues out, we have to start from the beginning.
Learvine did return to England, and on the terms she had agreed with a certain immortal, the female spy chose to abandon her homeland and become a dirty double agent. It's a good idea, but it's not that easy.
It is not easy to make a living again in the circle of spies, this circle is dirtier and messier than the dirtiest pigsty, full of betrayal and deception, it can be said that the deception is the original ecology.
After a long period of experience of all kinds of transactions and all kinds of ugly faces, people will become numb and will have some thoughts, and these thoughts and thoughts will undoubtedly be very fatal. Therefore, it is difficult for spies throughout the ages to die a good death, either by the hands of the enemy, or by their own people.
What's even more terrifying is that it is difficult for the institutions that manage espionage to have a good attitude towards spies in a high-pressure environment, suspicion is the norm, surveillance, surveillance is a piece of cake, and any betrayer or spy who is only suspected of betrayal will be abandoned without hesitation. Like outliers and losers like Learvin.
The responsibility for MI6's Russian station is undoubtedly considerable, and it is inevitable for the bureaucrats to prepare a scapegoat or a group of scapegoats. Just imagine, is there a better scapegoat than Learvin?
Aren't people like Learwin not only the middle-level head of the Russian station, but also one of the few survivors who fled from Russia?
What, not convinced? Comments? Think it's unfair? Hey. Who made your companions die. Are you the only one alive? Dead warriors. Naturally, its honor is untarnished, and the surviving living naturally have to pay for all mistakes! This is the same truth!
"For the failure of the Russian intelligence station, the head of the Russian station must be fully responsible! Miss Learwin, as the senior leader of the Russian station, must be held accountable for her mistakes! ”
This is the official opinion of the head of MI6, if there is no accident, the basin will definitely fall on Liervin's head, who will keep her alive, and who will let her not be treated well by the top?
Of course. There are also a few dissenting opinions, such as the head of the British Foreign Office who said: "I personally don't think it's a good idea to deal with Miss Learwin now." The failure of the Russian station is not accidental, since 1917, the Russian intelligence station has been in chaos again and again, which speaks volumes about the chaos of MI6's management, and it is irresponsible to put all the blame on one woman......"
Don't think that Li Erwen has a relationship in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it's not like that! The reason why the old men of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said two kind words for her was that the drunkard did not mean to drink, and the British Foreign Office and the British intelligence services have always had disputes and contradictions - the intelligence agencies felt that the Foreign Office had been indiscriminately directing as a layman. Adverse impacts; The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the other hand, believes that the intelligence agencies do not listen to orders and go their own way.
All in all. The two sides are not pleasing to the eye. This time the Russian intelligence station was completely destroyed, and this was a good opportunity to make a big fuss. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to take advantage of this to knock on the intelligence agencies and make this group of disobedient spies more honest. MI6, on the other hand, wants to quickly clear its responsibilities and slaughter a few scapegoats to make a big deal small.
In other words, Learvin was unlucky, or rather fortunate, to be the focal point of a tussle between MI6 and the Foreign Office. It is conceivable that whether it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or MI6 in order to achieve their goals, Learvin's life will not be easy.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Learvin is safe for the time being, at least until a compromise or secret deal is reached between the Foreign Ministry and MI6, and her life will not be in danger. After that, though, it's hard to say.
"I really don't understand, how can you be so relaxed."
Imprisoned in a secret MI6 prison, Learvin easily confronts her old godfather and boss.
"Don't you know that your current situation is quite dangerous. Once the above is agreed, you're done! ”
Learvine just smiled slightly, "McCain, you are still the same mother-in-law as always, if the above decides to deal with me, you will not be able to come to see me, an old fox like you can swagger in, it can only mean one thing, is there good news?" ”
McCain, who was over half a hundred years old, looked at his goddaughter in the cage speechlessly, to tell the truth, he was very speechless to Learvin. He and Learwin's father are old friends and old partners, and when MI6 was not called MI6, they worked together, so to speak, he watched Learvin grow up.
His feelings for Learwin are also quite complicated, as the only daughter of an old friend, he will definitely take care of Learwin. But this girl has been a problem girl since she was a child, and she has been giving his old friends and himself a headache since she was a student.
Originally, McCain also hoped that the eighteenth change of the female college would lead to a good development when Learvin grew up. But the cruel reality shattered all his illusions, especially after Learvin's father died in the line of duty, and this girl quickly moved forward along a path of secondary two death.
Despite his dissuasion, Learwin insisted on joining MI6, refusing to stay in London to do intelligence processing and analysis work, and stubbornly ran to the front line to work as an intelligence officer. And he went to barbaric and uncivilized Russia as an intelligence officer. From the day Learwin hit the road, McCain had an extremely bad premonition, and he knew that something would happen to Learwin sooner or later, and it would definitely be a big deal.
Things were going as McCain had expected, and the only difference was that the girl had gone out of her way far more than once or twice, and from the time she set foot on Russian soil, there had been a constant stream of planes. has made McCain anxious again and again, if it weren't for his relationship with it, the constant accidents and maverick Learvin would have been killed by his own people.
However, what McCain absolutely did not expect was that this time the matter would be so big and dangerous, and the entire Russian station would be finished. Almost all the spies were caught in the net. Except for Learvin. Only three or two three-legged cats escaped by luck. It's thrilling, McCain can figure it out with his ass.
Learvin was able to save his life from such a shocking crisis, and McCain was really happy, but he was also afraid. Of course, fear was only a matter of a moment, and soon McCain realized that although Learwin had temporarily recovered her life, it did not mean that she was safe.
I've been a spy for decades. What is McCain still unclear about this, how many excellent spies who survived the catastrophe and escaped death did not die at the hands of the enemy, but were tossed to death by their own bureaucrats at the very end, and they all became victims of political struggle.
McCain never wanted his goddaughter to become such a victim, so he ran around at the first opportunity, looking for a way to get a connection, in order to keep Learvin. I have to say that the head of MI6 and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will fight each other, and a large part of the reason is that McCain has made a bad effort in it.
Today, though. When McCain saw Learvin, who was as hippie and smiling as ever, he couldn't help but be angry. He begged his father and grandmother Bai outside and almost broke his leg. But this little ancestor is still laughing and laughing, what is Nima called!
Suddenly, McCain said angrily: "There is no good news, there are two bad news, do you listen to it!" ”
Learwin still didn't care, yawned gracefully, and stretched like a cat that had just woken up, "Say, see how bad the bad news can be!" ”
McCain really didn't have a way to take this goddaughter who didn't eat oil and salt, and snorted: "You have two choices now, either take the initiative to take the blame for MI6, go to prison for a few years, and then live in peace for the rest ......of your life."
Before McCain could finish speaking, Learvin replied, "I'll choose the second option!" ”
McCain smiled wryly: "I haven't said the second option yet!" ”
Learvin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I won't choose the first one anyway, in that case, do I have a third option?" ”
McCain was stunned, and said in his heart, he would prefer Learwin to choose the first option, although he will go to prison, but he can get out of the circle of spies. He knew too well how bad and dangerous this circle was, and he didn't want Learwin to continue to be in this circle. With her character, sooner or later, something will happen, and at that time, he may not be able to save people anymore.
McCain sighed and said, "I prefer you to choose the first one, haven't you seen through this circle now, haven't you seen through how dirty and dangerous this circle is?" ”
Learvin shrugged his shoulders again: "I don't want to live that kind of life with husband and children, I'd rather die a brilliant death!" ”
McCain let out a long sigh: "Whatever you want, I hope you don't regret it in the future!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and said loudly: "Prison guard, bring prisoner No. 31254 out......"
Learwin was covered in a black hood and shackles around her wrists and ankles, and four heavily armed prison guards escorted her into an airtight carriage...... An hour later, she was sent to a new, more heavily guarded prison, where a severe test awaited her.
"Is it necessary to use mantra on such little people?" In the interrogation room, a little white face in a suit and leather shoes asked the white-haired old hair beside him with a little dissatisfaction, "This is simply a waste!" ”
The white-haired old man remained silent, and taught him a lesson in the stereotypical style of an English gentleman: "It's not up to us to decide what to do, you just need to obey!" ”
The young man wanted to say something, but the old man shut him up with only a stern look, and at this moment, Learvin was escorted into the interrogation room.
"Take her hood off!" The white-haired old man commanded angrily. His stereotypical voice reverberated in the small interrogation room, giving Learwin a special feeling - danger!
The moment the black hood was removed, Lierwin's eyes narrowed involuntarily, but when she saw the old man sitting in front of her, she was surprised. From the very beginning, Learvin knew that if he chose the second option, he would probably be tested. According to what she heard, this kind of test seemed to be particularly difficult, it could be torture or psychological torture, but the pair in front of her seemed to be far from the executioner with a full face of flesh in her imagination!
"You seem to be a little disappointed?" The old man clearly caught the changes in Learvin's psychology, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was sneering and mocking.
But immediately this little expression disappeared cleanly, and the old man was very rigid as if he was reciting the lines from the script: "Prisoner 31254, we have been ordered to interrogate you. For all our questions. You must answer honestly and without resistance...... I must stress to you. You must answer all questions honestly, otherwise, you will be punished with the most severe sanctions! ”
Li Erwen personally thinks this is just nonsense, and she doesn't believe that lying will be seen by these two raw melons and eggs, as a good spy, lying is as easy and natural for her as eating and sleeping.
The old man hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with some contempt: "It can be seen that you don't seem to think so." Truth be told, I've seen too many people like you, and your profession has made you lie and forget the most precious quality of honesty...... Hmph, it doesn't matter, today, we will slowly remind you of this precious quality...... Let's go! ”
To be honest, the psychological quality of a veteran spy like Li Erwen is very strong, but she doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing, and she feels very uneasy now. From the moment she saw this old and young, she felt very dangerous. At first, she thought that something was wrong with her feelings, that she was too nervous.
But when the old man said the words "let's start", this sense of danger was suddenly magnified infinitely, even if these two people did not do anything special, Learwin also had a feeling of panic.
This feeling is rare in her career, the most recent one was the time she met a certain immortal, and the second time she experienced this kind of taste so soon, which made Learwin suddenly raise her guard, and she began to feel that she had indeed made the wrong choice, as if she should not have chosen this path.
The young man in the suit did not immediately start the interrogation as the old man said, but made the most contemptuous statement to Learvin as he had written: "Prisoner No. 31254, before the trial begins, this is a warning to you that if you take the initiative to confess all lies and admit all guilt, you will be given leniency. And once the trial begins, all the facts you confess during the trial will become evidence in court, and if you are lying, you are deceiving the state, then you will be sentenced to death. Now you have the last chance to repent, do you repent? ”
Li Erwen was a little baffled, she began to feel that the old and young in front of her probably had a problem with her brain, how could she interrogate prisoners like this, even if she played psychological warfare, this method was too clumsy. And she personally felt that it was not so much an interrogation as the beginning of a religious ceremony.
"It seems that she, like those fools before, doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, stop talking nonsense, let's start!" The old man gave instructions a second time.
Xiao Young shook his head, as if he felt sorry for Li Erwen, but he was just a little pity. Soon, he pulled out an object from his briefcase and pointed it at Learwin's eye.
The reason why she said it was an object was because Learvine could not describe what she saw, and although she did see it, she could not describe the shape of the object in words.
At that moment, Lierwen's mind seemed to be frozen, all her feelings and feelings seemed to be completely attracted to this object, she could no longer control her body, even if she desperately tried to remove her eyes, but the eyeballs did not listen to the command at all.
Not only her eyes, but her hands, feet, and every muscle in her body were completely out of control, and even as she became more and more focused on that object, her mind went out of control......
"Attention!"
When Learwin was completely petrified and froze in his seat like an idiot, the white-haired old man gave another command, "Speed up, this amplitude is far from enough, can't you even handle a little girl!" ”
As he spoke, the old man turned to Learvin, put on his reading glasses, opened the folder on his desk, and suddenly asked, "Name!" ”
Like a robot, Learvin replied in a cold tone without any intonation or emotion: "Learvine......"
The old man nodded, and asked again, "Position." ”
Learvin continued to reply like a zombie: "MI6 intelligence officer in Russia......"
The old man asked many basic questions in one breath, from shallow to deep, as if he was testing whether Li Erwen was really controlled by the object in the hands of the young man in the suit. It wasn't until Learwin gave the most correct answer to every question that he nodded with satisfaction, "She's about to be controlled, with a little more effort, we can officially start!" ”
Xiao Young just nodded wordlessly, to use the object at hand, for him now, it is a little difficult, he doesn't dare to be distracted at all, as long as there is a little bit of difference, not only will Learwin, who is controlled by the object, become an idiot, but even he himself will suffer a lot of damage, no one wants to be hurt.
The white-haired old man cleared his throat and asked in a deep, powerful voice characteristic of the elderly: "Agent Learvin, now please answer the following questions, what is happening in Russia?" How did you get out of Russia? Have you betrayed your homeland......"
Every question, like a sledgehammer, hit Learwin's heart hard, she wanted to answer these questions according to the lies that had been arranged, but her brain was completely out of control, those secrets buried in her heart, churning little by little, and what was even more terrifying was that she couldn't help but want to confess these terrible secrets! (To be continued......)
