Chapter 782: Closed Dungeon
"Boom!" The dazzling thunder light illuminates the haze that fills the sky, making them look like a mass of magnified viruses, at this time it is the thunderstorm season, and the thunder and lightning roar from time to time are like a tyrant's coughing and wheezing in the late stage of tuberculosis, and the acid rain mixed with industrial ashes is sprinkled in the air, and there is a faint stinging sensation on human skin, and the bacteria in the mud are constantly breeding in this humid and acidic environment, exuding a depressing smell.
In the highest office of the Death Row camp in Skull City, Luo Wei stood in front of the window, facing the noxious radiation from the sky's dome, his red pupils reflecting the rolling thunder and lightning and clouds.
What was he waiting for.
"Knock knock..."There was a quick knock on the door, one more urgent than the other, as if there was some bad signal.
Soon, Chu Fan pushed the door and walked in, his face was pale, but there was no fear, and there was even a faint excitement mixed in it, if the next words were spread outside, it would inevitably cause a big shock: "Colonel Luo Wei, Mirati and Akai are dead!" β
"Boom!" The thunder flashed and disappeared, illuminating Luo Wei's face in a brief moment, and also illuminating the bloody arc of the corners of his lips.
He was laughing.
...
Time goes back a day ago.
"Eat." Under the closed dungeon, a member of the Grand Guard put hearty food on the ground and said in a commanding tone.
Fresh oatmeal soaked in milky yogurt sprinkled with high-quality nuts such as almonds and walnuts, a chef's own charred steak with a charred beef tendon and a plump and bouncy beef tendon looming out, vitamin-rich broccoli and carrots resting on the side, and a glass of juice mix.
Akai, who had chains on his hands and feet, faced this tempting food, but his face was sad and he had no appetite, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. β
"It doesn't matter what you say, our task is to make sure that you are physically and mentally healthy and eat." The voice of the Grand Guard is unmistakable.
Akai sighed, and when the guards adjusted the bracelet loosely, he picked up the knife and fork and ate it silently.
Yes, since Akai was taken away by the Grand Guard, this is his life, there is no torture and beatings, no interrogation and torture, the standard of three meals a day is equivalent to that of a VIP, it is configured by a special dietitian, a routine physical examination is carried out every day, and there is a meeting with a psychiatrist, all health problems are checked, books are given, if you want to watch movies, you can move to TV, you have a good life, except for one point, you can't leave this dungeon.
After eating, Akai raised his head and asked, "When can I leave the dungeon?" β
The Grand Guard motioned to the servant to put away the plate and said, "Wait until you tell the truth." β
Akai seemed to think of something terrible, his face turned pale, and even his lips lost their blood: "Luo Wei will kill me, he will definitely send someone to kill me." β
"You're safe, there's a guard post of the Grand Duke's Guard on the ground, and a Valkyrie hovering in the air 24 hours a day."
"You don't understand! You don't understand at all!! Annoyed, Akai knocked over the plate, kicked the panicked servant away, and roared hoarsely, "That's a monster!" The people he targeted never survived! You must keep moving me, from the country to the land, from the earth to the heavens, and you must keep shifting, and you must not let him know where I am! β
The Grand Duke's Guard sneered: "It's okay, as long as you are assassinated, we have every reason to deal with the death camp, and there is nothing wrong with that." β
Akai hissed, "Am I not going to survive?" β
"Yes, tell us what happened on the day the Federation team fell, tell us all the truth, and you'll get a safe haven aboard Noah's Ark."
"If I tell the truth, I will have no use value, and you will keep me?"
"Of course, we also need you to testify against Luo Wei in court."
"Your Grand Duke is so stupid, he shouldn't have conspired in front of this man... Thinking about marriage, he tried to control him in this way..."
"It's not something you should care about, in a word, to say it, or not to say it?"
Akai was silent for a long time, leaned against the wall, deliberately closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you guys go out." β
Without saying anything, the Grand Guard motioned for the servants to leave together, and he was ordered to meet all of Akai's needs in principle until he spoke on his own initiative.
Archduke Otteri's plan is very simple, after Akai tells the truth, he will go to court with Luo Wei, causing a political crisis, so Luo Wei wants to protect his life, and there is only one way to go, that is, to marry Mirati and return to the Ottery family.
The premise of all this must be the full cooperation and wholehearted cooperation of Akai, a witness, so he cannot be interrogated and tortured, and he must not be tortured into a trick, and he must be made sane and willing to tell the truth, so that he can be used as evidence in a military court.
Although Akai is very stupid, he also understands the truth that he is either a traitor or a thief, and the Grand Duke must want to get something from him if he eats and drinks well, in other words, he still has use value.
Akai was weighing, if he didn't confess anything, of course he could eat and drink like this day by day, but at the same time, Luo Wei's threat would be approaching day by day, he knew this chief too well, Luo Wei's policy towards the enemy has always been only four words: kill them all.
But what if the truth is told? Will the Federation really give him a shelter in the Judgment Council, or will it throw him away like garbage? If it's the former, then it's a blessing. But if it is the latter, without the protection of the Federation, he is a traitor who cannot be tolerated on either side, and there is only a dead end.
Akai didn't know how to find the right balance between the two, and he couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds.
Just as Akai was at a loss for what to do, the sound of high heels touching the ground could be faintly heard from this empty dungeon, from far and near.
After a while, a tall and beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, none other than Miraty.
The guard on duty didn't expect Mirati to appear here, he bowed his head and said respectfully, "Miss, why are you here?" β
Mirati, as the daughter of the Grand Duke and a big star in the limelight, has a natural arrogance: "Go out, let me talk to Akai alone." β
The guard hesitated a little, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, the Grand Duke has ordered, someone must guard Akai 24 hours a day." β
Mirati's face turned cold: "You mean, I'm not human?" β
"No, no, no, please forgive the eldest lady..."The guard quickly lowered his head and said humbly, "The subordinate is just worried that Akai is a prisoner after all, in case he does something to the eldest lady..."
"Get out! If you make any more noise, your work is gone! β
"Yesβ" The guard dared to say anything more, and bowed his head and withdrew.
After the guards walked outside the dungeon, the captain who patrolled here asked him, "Why did you come up?" Why not on duty?! β
The guard smiled wryly: "Miss Mirati is down there, she kicked me out." β
"Miss? What is she going to do? β
"I said I wanted to say a few words to Akai."
"It's too dangerous, that's a prisoner, we have to stop her!"
"I... I don't dare, that's the eldest lady, we can't afford to be angry..."
"It's also... In this case, immediately tell me to the Grand Duke, and let him personally bring the eldest lady out. β
