Chapter 34: Phantoms
Did Clarence find what he was looking for on this report? Otherwise, how could he leave so easily? No, in fact, what was written on these papers was the exact opposite of the peaceful atmosphere here, and after closing the door to the room where the information terminal was placed, Clarence couldn't help but hold his beating heart and leaned his back against the wall gasping for breath.
The contents of the report do not seem to have any special connection, but if you pay a little attention to the contents, you will find that this is the information sent and received records of the information terminal, and all of these information are related to the specific situation of Demacia without exception, coupled with the frightened expressions of the previous staff members, and what the female staff said, there is almost only one answer that can be obtained-
The Demacians suspected that there must be a Noxian spy or a traitor acting as an informant for Noxus, and they were conducting a thorough investigation into it, and although the common citizens did not seem to be affected, it was only a matter of time before they were searched on a large scale.
What exactly do these Demacians want to do...... Why suddenly at such a time...... Of course, it's true, there is no time for the capture of spies, but if this kind of arrest is carried out throughout the country, all the next actions will be affected, even if you have just successfully used the psychological factor and did not expose yourself, but if you have been using this method......
The ratio of bets and reaps is no longer a - book - read - novel xstxt is reasonable at this time, even if you barely get the information you want, it becomes meaningless, the general's order is very clear, never have any conflict with Demacia or expose his whereabouts, if you continue to stay here, you will definitely be discovered, Clarence immediately stopped perceiving the surroundings, if there is a magician here, he must be suspicious of this magic, he turned around and ran towards the stairs, I'm going to go to Mussell right away and discuss what to do next.
If the previous luck was good, then the loom of the goddess of fate seemed to no longer favor Clarence at this moment, and just as he hurriedly walked up with the report with a look, footsteps suddenly came from above, what should I do? Should I turn back? No...... There was no way out there, so he could only choose to try his luck, but when he saw the person in front of him, his body couldn't help but shake.
He didn't know the person in front of him, but judging from his demeanor and the expressions of the people behind him, this should be a commander, seeing that he had noticed his presence, Clarence knew that he could not hesitate at this time, he immediately stood up straight and saluted a standard Demacian military salute: "Good evening, sir." ”
There was nothing wrong with this military salute, and Clarence also learned this from the Demacian prisoners of war, although I don't know who these people were, but there should be nothing wrong with using the military salute.
"Good evening."
When he saw the expression of the chief, Clarence was a little relieved, perhaps because of the whole day of censorship, he looked quite tired, he didn't even look at Clarence at all, just casually raised his hand as a salute, and hurried down.
"Sir, please wait a moment, this is our newly collected information, please take a look."
It's not that Clarence wants to increase the risk of being discovered, it's just that since this report has been handed over to him, if he throws it away like this, he will find an anomaly sooner or later, so it is better to take this opportunity to hand it over to the right person.
"Hmm...... Good. Although the chief said this, there was a hint of annoyance in his expression, presumably the huge amount of investigation is also a troublesome job, Clarence pretended not to see it, and handed him the report with both hands.
The chief took the report and began to look at it, he really just "probably" flipped through it, and before he could read a few lines, he casually handed the report to the subordinates behind him, raised his head and said to Clarence: "You are from the technical department, right?" ”
"Uh...... Well, yes sir. "Clarence didn't have any other options to choose from.
"That's right, I don't think I can get any useful information in those machines, don't worry about your work for now, I'll explain to your boss, now, come with me."
What the...... Why at such a time...... Clarence's heart couldn't help but jump a few times, if he followed him like this, he would definitely be discovered by the two just now, he subconsciously touched the flashbang at the corner of his clothes, ready to ......
"Hey, what are you doing there? Hurry down! ”
Because he hadn't had time to go too far, it was only about two meters from the very bottom, and just as Clarence was watching the men slip away, the chief took out a key from his bosom and reached into a gap in the dark corner of the wall, and with the slight sound of mechanical turning, the wall on the side receded and formed a door.
At the time, Clarence's idea was simple: there must be some kind of important presence in this hidden location, and the end result turned out that the results of this gamble were far beyond his expectations.
"I'm coming."
When Clarence walked in, a familiar sensation immediately filled his body, not to say that the structure or decoration resembled Noxus, but to-
It's a hidden dungeon, a noxus sewer that's everywhere.
"I didn't expect this to actually be put into use...... "The chief muttered indistinctly, and asked his subordinates to turn on the lights, these cells have no walls, they are completely fenced off by iron railings, and everything the prisoners here do will be monitored.
"It's time to interrogate that guy, someone from the technical department, there is everything you need in the room next to you, and the work of transcription will be handed over to you later." The chief coughed lightly and walked straight into the depths with his two subordinates.
There was no one in the cell here, everything looked very new, and it was not until the very end that a figure appeared from the cell, and the girl lying on the ground looked to be no more than twenty years old, her thin body was covered with scars, and when she heard the footsteps, she only raised her head slightly to look at it, and soon closed her eyes again as if she had lost interest.
"Hey, can you still talk?" After seeing such a scene, the commander couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he scratched his head with some trouble, turned around and whispered to the two subordinates, "This is the person you are talking about?" How could she be hurt like this? How can I interrogate her in this state? ”
"I heard from those people that she resisted the most fiercely when she was captured, so she was a little heavier, and since she was brought to this kind of place, you should know what it means......
"Cut...... Those guys really got their hands on it, okay, so what do they mean they're handing her over to me now? Is it interrogating me? ”
There was silence for a while, and the two subordinates didn't know what to say at this time, and after lowering their voices and complaining for a while, the chief finally returned to normal, and after waiting for Clarence to appear, he finally began to interrogate: "Hey little girl, can you hear me?" ”
“…… Well. After hearing someone call to her, the girl raised her head slightly.
"Very well, then I ask you...... Have you betrayed your homeland? ”
"Betrayal?" The girl sneered, her voice weak, but still full of sarcasm, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Or, if I say I don't, will you do something to force me to say it? ”
"No...... I didn't mean that, since you insist on your innocence, then please prove yourself, so that I can ......"
"Evidence? Are you kidding me? The girl's sarcasm became even more obvious, and there was some anger in the sarcasm, "Since you know what my job is, you should know that I can't have any evidence to prove my innocence, if you really want to pity me, why take that guy behind you?" But for the sake of this...... It's just going to knock you out. “
The girl's angry shouts had not subsided, and the noise suddenly came from the entrance, and a few seconds later, a group of black-clothed men with weapons appeared in front of the chief's eyes, although the two subordinates were taken aback, but they immediately tried to protect him, but it was obvious that their strength was very different from this group of black-clothed people, and after only a few rounds, all three of them were knocked unconscious to the ground.
"Then it's your turn, you seem to be just an ordinary person in the technical department, if you don't want to get too seriously injured, stay here honestly, we'll be ...... soon"
"What will happen soon?"
Facing at least twenty people surrounding him, Clarence smiled mockingly at the girl in the cell, and casually threw the notebook in his hand on the ground.
"Listen, this has nothing to do with you, I don't want to hurt innocent people, now, please get out of the way, or I will kill you mercilessly."
For some reason, the girl's threatening voice seemed to tremble a little, but it didn't matter, the sharp blade in the black's hand was on Clarence's neck, and as long as he moved slightly, it would easily cut his throat, but even so, Clarence still didn't move half a minute: "Is this your threat?" If that's all there is to it - do it, if your 'friend' can do it. “
"Okay...... If that's your choice, then sorry! “
As soon as the girl's voice fell, the sound of metal striking sounded almost simultaneously, and the men in black disappeared...... No, in fact, these phantoms never appeared in Clarence's eyes, including the girl in the prison, in the moment just now, the dagger turned out of his left hand had blocked the attack of the girl who suddenly appeared behind him for some reason, the girl did not give up, and stabbed him several times in a row, but no matter how tricky the angle, the man in front of him didn't even look back and blocked them all, and what was even more ironic was that he didn't even want to fight back, just calmly defended...... Defended......
