Chapter 40: Yanin's Tiger

A pair of hollow eyes, under the strong light in front of them, the tears that can be secreted by the tear ducts have also evaporated. Finally, the eyelids drooped down tiredly again......

"Zlala!!"

At the moment when the eyes were just closed and not closed, suddenly the microphone at the eardrum made a sharp and piercing noise, and the eyes suddenly reflexively widened in the stimulation, without blinking, allowing the bright light to burn.

"Huh~" Every time the nasal cavity under the eyes inhales, it brought a little blood to the already white and thin face.

"Whew~" With the exhalation, the blood color dispersed again, and the blood flowed from the intricate pipes below the face to the surrounding instruments, and the thin monkey-like face became lifeless like a dead person again.

“This_is_one_of“Instaurator”,known_as“Skinny_Monkey”. According_to_the_information_provided_by_lawyer_Kevin, he_is_the_highest_level_guerrilla_we_caught_so_far. (Member of the Revival, nicknamed "Skinny Monkey.") According to Kevin's identification, it was the highest-ranking guerrilla we had captured so far. )”

Rupert, an intelligence expert from the Mirage Security Bureau, explained as he took Zhongjiu, Hong Yuesheng, Brunhilde, and the red-haired Alya to the monitoring room, where the physician Emily was allowed to push Kevin's wheelchair into the room because she was helping to take care of Kevin.

Hong Yuesheng and Brunhilde didn't say anything to each other along the way, like strangers, and they didn't even meet their eyes. The red-haired Arya had to stay between the two at all times, and with the fact that she could behave like a lurking active volcano at all times, Arya felt that it would be difficult for her to escape her fate as a "kindergarten big sister with a Boy Scout" in the future.

"But didn't you say that Operation "Fireworks" was a simulated tactical training? Hong Yuesheng asked, before entering the door, Rupert prepared a simultaneous translation headset for him, so that he could understand the Meda Busoya language.

"The training was simulated, yes, but with real data that the special forces involved in the rescue operation at the time saw with their own eyes. Among them, the skinny monkey who participated in the hostage kidnapping is also the character who was actually captured. Rupert is a young, handsome, polite Meda Busoya man, at first glance it is hard to imagine that he is old enough to sit in the position of an intelligence expert, for Hong Yuesheng's Yaning identity, he has no other meaning, and even reached out to shake hands with Hong, "It must be Hong Yuesheng," he pointed to himself with his finger: "Rupert (Rupert)." ”

"How do you know my name?" Hong Yuesheng was a little surprised.

"You're a big name now."

"It's just a matter of luck."

"Luck is also part of ability." Rupert winked at Hong Yuesheng, for some reason, Hong Yuesheng even had a good impression of him.

"Hey, hey, don't dig into the wall in front of me." Nakahisa interjected half-jokingly.

Rupert smiled and replied to Zhong Jiu in a pun: "Then you are too worried, a good soldier must follow a better general." Hong Yuesheng understood why he could sit in the chair of an intelligence expert at this time.

When he first entered the monitoring room, the light was dim and red, and after the automatic door was locked, Rupert snapped his fingers, and the wall at the end of the room turned into two-way transparent glass with the command.

As soon as she saw the other side of the glass, Emily involuntarily turned her back and covered her mouth with her hands. Kevin, on the other hand, held the armrest of his wheelchair tightly. Everyone else gasped and their hearts raced.

On the other side of the glass is the interrogation room, but unlike the ordinary interrogation room, it is full of instruments, and in the middle of the instruments is a lone human head connected to the spine! Kevin recognized at a glance that the barely original head belonged to a skinny monkey. His body from the neck down was gone, and all that remained was a spine of nerves spread out like the roots of a tree that had spread and grown, and the back of his head that had been opened, was filled with pipes, wiring, and various instruments to keep him alive and extract information.

"By inserting a device directly into a human skull nerve to scan, the person being interrogated has no human rights, not even the right to choose to live or die......," Emily easily persuaded herself to turn around.

"Aren't you a doctor? Why are you so surprised? Rupert asked Emily calmly.

"My job is to save people, not to torture them! This method of interrogation by the Security Service is inhumane! Emily retorted.

"Do you need humanity, ask our lawyer Kevin, who has been captured, and see if the Revival Society has ever been humane?" Rupert laughed at Emily's anger, and his smile was sunny, but Emily was speechless.

“Fxxk!” Zhong Jiu interrupted the two and scolded: "No matter what means your security bureau uses, say it in advance next time before letting me see this kind of thing!" ”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Victor's harsh, familiar voice came from the room on the opposite side of the interrogation room:

“As_an_official_military,you_should_have_known_the_brutality_of_war. Don’t_act_like_a_teenage_tearaway! (Since you have been promoted to a soldier, you should also learn about the brutal battlefield!) Why are you still like a gangster! )”

Originally, the structure of this place was centered on the interrogation room, and the surrounding area was divided into three separate monitoring rooms 360 degrees. In addition to the room where Zhongjiu was located, the lights in the other room had just turned on, and Colonel Victor walked into the room, several young officers behind him were snickering, only the personal bodyguard Silver Fox standing behind him was expressionless.

"Hey, I'm talking big brother! You don't like what you say! ......Seeing that Zhongjiu was about to have a seizure, the red-haired Arya hurriedly rushed up to dissuade Zhongjiu, while Brunhilde gently bowed to Victor and apologized on behalf of the second brother.

“Quiet! The_Viceroy_arrives! (Silence!) Your Excellency the Governor has arrived! )”

With the sound of the announcement, the lights in the third room also came on, and Nakaku had to straighten his clothes and stand up and salute with the others.

In the light, it was not the Governor, but Mr. Stephens, and several senior military officials behind him, including Major Norton, who had a holiday with Nakahisa at the dinner party before.

"I beg your pardon for the fact that I am here today due to the busy schedule of your Excellency the Governor, but please rest assured that all important matters will not be decided until you consult with the Governor." The headset in Mr. Stephens' ear and the electronic glasses on the bridge of his nose immediately transmitted the scene to the Governor's Palace: "Now, please begin." ”

"Yes, Lord Doge, Mr. Stephens, Colonel Victor." Rupert nodded to everyone in turn, cleared his throat, and gestured to the interrogation room. The device connected to the back of the skinny monkey's head immediately began to operate, and the skinny monkey's face shook violently, letting out a terrible scream, revealing an extremely painful expression, which made people feel creepy. Channels seemed to be sucking his brain, translating the brain waves into a holographic image player above the visual image: a multitude of light particles began to sketch a human face from a haphazard sliding to gradually stabilizing their positions.

"From the examination of the brains of the skinny monkeys, the most useful thing is that he had seen ...... a few days before the Confederate Day riots"

The face of a man in his fifties gradually emerged, and the black cloak and hat made his face hide in shadows, but after computer processing, his scattered hair and gray temples could already be seen, making him look older than his actual age. His face was covered with deep wrinkles and stubble like a knife, as if he was writing about his rough life, not very trim, single eyelids, dark circles, but sharp eyes, and a solemn atmosphere in his expression.

"Liu_YueTai (Liu Yuetai)!"

"It's Liu Yuetai!"

As soon as the image came out, before Rupert could say it, several old officers whispered, and even Mr. Stephens was moved. Only the young people were at a loss.

"That's right, it's Liu Yuetai. He had a reputation for serving the Yaning Empire in the "Asian-American War" fifteen years ago, and because he led the army in the early days of the war to put up a stubborn resistance to our Mida Busoya army, I believe that Governor William and Mr. Stephens should have an impression of him. ”

In place of Governor William, Mr. Stephens replied, "Your Excellency the Governor has fought with Liu Yuetai's troops many times. His courage and leadership proved that he was one of the few Yaning generals who could organize and coordinate his forces to win more with less, and his military performance also made him one of the outstanding military commanders in the Asian-American War. But he disappeared after the Asian-American War. ”

Rupert waited for Mr. Stephens to finish, and continued: "Indeed, there were many rumors about him afterwards, some said that he had died on the battlefield, and others said that he went underground to assassinate Medabsoya officers and organize anti-American activities.

Now, he hasn't given up on his army, and it's likely that he's the leader behind the Renaissance. ”

"But none of our previous intelligence have seen him." Someone asked.

"Judging from the situation reported by our captured lawyer Kevin, I didn't see Liu Yuetai himself during the trial, right?" Rupert looked at Kevin in his wheelchair, and Kevin nodded. So Rupert made another gesture, and the skinny monkey let out another strange cry caused by an electric shock to his brain, and Liu Yuetai's face dissipated, and the light particles were reassembled into another image, a brief image of two people meeting on a ship, in which Liu Yuetai was patting a young Yaning man on the shoulder, as if to say: "Good job, boy!" ”

When Hong Yuesheng saw this image, her body was shocked. On the 360-degree hologram, the clip of the young man looking up at Liu Yuetai is constantly repeated. In the painting, the young man is facing away from Hong Yuesheng, so Hong walks to the side and goes around to the right position to see the young man's face more clearly.

It was a young man wearing a general's military coat with a straight collar, despite his young age, his hair was combed neatly into short side parts, and gradually Hong Yuesheng could see his delicate face, as well as the sassy heroic posture and pride between his eyebrows, like the head of the heir of the orthodox Yaning army......

"Prince......?!" Hong Yuesheng's eyes widened and widened.

When Hong Yuesheng said this, Zhong Jiu also remembered that the young man with a submachine gun was standing in front of the body of Stephen who died on the ground in a twisted and tragic manner in the backstage of the central square.

"! It turned out to be this little bunny! Nakaku cursed through gritted teeth.

"Well, I've seen the footage of you fighting the prince brought back by the Manta Ray Squad." Rupert was not surprised at all by Hong Yuesheng's reaction: "Prince, it is the nickname of this young man to the outside world, and his fate is unknown. The real identity is Liu Yuetai's nephew, whose parents were both killed in the Yaning War. Liu Yuetai himself has no children, so in recent years, more and more Fuxing Club matters have been handed over to the prince to take care of. ”

"But he has already ......" Hong Yuesheng seemed to see that at noon that day, Feng Die's motorcycle and the jeep driven by the prince were entangled, and the wreckage rolled in the sparks, scattered and floated into the air, and then fell apart.

"That's right, so I'm afraid that Liu Yuetai will have to come forward again to organize and arrange important things in the future. If we can catch him, I believe that the remnants of the Revival Society can be fundamentally resolved. ”

"What's the clue?" Victor asked.

Rupert spread his two fingers and magnified the words on the hull behind Liu Yuetai and the crown prince on the image:

Sunset Goddess.

"The Sunset Goddess is a medium-sized civilian cargo ship, and since it has no suspicious records of its own, it was never on our previous investigation list. After getting this name, we have learned the ship's last location near the eastern high seas, and our intelligence department believes that the ship is very likely to be connected to Liu Yuetai's whereabouts. ”

As soon as Rupert said this, there was another discussion in several observation rooms.

"Capturing the thief and capturing the king first is an opportunity to draw an end to this war of attrition."

"But how do you know it's not a trap? It feels like the trail is a little too easy. ”

"Shrink your hands and feet, what is the big thing?"

"I object, Liu Yuetai was famous for his tireless deceit, and his lack of appearance on the day of the Alliance Day riot is an example. The credibility of the information that the skinny monkey has access to is questionable, and it rushes out like a sheep without perfecting the information. ”

Mr. Stephens remained silent, transmitting the images and voices of the officers around him to his master.

Victor suddenly raised his voice and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, isn't now a golden opportunity?" And to believe that only well-trained troops are worthy of such a task, what do you think? Lieutenant Colonel Nakahisa? ”

"Cut," hearing his brother's suggestion, Zhong Jiu replied angrily: "Such a good opportunity, why don't you go?" ”

"It's a pity, according to the Governor's arrangement, foreign-related counter-terrorism should be the part of the lieutenant colonel's responsibility, shouldn't I interfere? Do you need our little sister to protect you again? When Victor finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, including Major Norton.

"You!" Zhongjiu clenched his fists, and Brunhilde quietly pressed the second brother's wrist beside him.

"I'll go!" Suddenly, a voice thundered like a bolt in the sky, causing everyone to stop discussing.

Zhongjiu, Brunhilde, red-haired Arya and Emily all looked behind them in surprise, and it was Hong Yuesheng who spoke!

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! Emily hurriedly persuaded him and rushed up to cover Hong Yuesheng's mouth.

"Please don't listen to his jokes, he and the Lionheart team's training isn't over yet!" The red-haired Arya also hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her.

"Hey, hey, there's no joke in the army!" Major Norton took the opportunity to speak: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhongjiu, your subordinates have all volunteered!" The rank of the military department must be proved by real combat exploits! Victor's men were shouting again.

Zhong Jiu held back his temper and ignored Major Norton, and looked back at Hong Yuesheng: "Are you serious?" ”

Hong Yuesheng nodded: "I want to go and have an explanation for the past." ”

Zhong Jiu nodded, and at this time, Brunhilde squeezed his hand and shook his head at him, but found that Zhong Jiu had a rare solemn expression:

“…… Hmph, these rabbit cubs, do you borrow a knife to kill people? Okay, I'll let them borrow my knife first, and who knows when the knife will turn! ”

He ignored Brunhilde's whispering to him to calm down, and turned to face the audience: "Since it is expected by everyone, I will not shirk it anymore." Then my Lionheart Commando Team will have the honor to complete this mission! ”

Mr. Stephens bowed his head and whispered, apparently seeking Governor William's advice, and after a moment, he raised his head and formally announced the Governor's decision: "In the month and a half since the Confederate Day uprising, although the security of the capital mirage has gradually stabilized, the remnants of the rebel revival society have not been completely cleared, and its strength cannot be ignored, as can be seen from their recent frequent small-scale sabotage activities outside the mirage.

While the Revival Society is fledgling, Lieutenant Colonel Nakahisa is specially appointed to lead the Special Operations Team today to carry out a surprise mission against the Sunset Goddess! ”

Hearing this order, everyone reacted differently, and Victor smiled like a devil.

"What if the enemy insists on resisting during the capture?" Zhong Jiu asked.

"Then don't kill you." Mr. Stephens replied calmly.

Nakahisa nodded exaggeratedly and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel, take care!" Victor said behind him.

Zhong Jiu looked back at Victor and burst out laughing, laughing non-stop and even a little out of breath: "Hehe, thank you big brother for your care!" He pointed his finger at Victor, turned around, and whispered, "Bastard! ”

Emily yelled at Hong Yuesheng: "You! You...... You're mad at me! With that, he turned away angrily, completely forgetting that he still had the responsibility to take care of Kevin. Hong Yuesheng rubbed her nose with her hand, looking innocent.

Brünnhilde sighed and shook his head at the red-haired Arya.

"He's not acting rashly." Rupert's voice came from behind him.

"Oh_Really (oh, yes)? How do you know?" Brunhilde turned to look at Rupert in a tough tone.

"He's not as simple as he seems."

"He's my brother, and I know him better than you do."

He believed in "him". Rupert pouted at Hong Yuesheng Nunu, who was standing aside.

This sentence really angered Brunhilde, but she still tried to hide it, she didn't look at Hong Yuesheng, and put her face close to Rupert:

"Don't be overconfident in your judgment." Then he turned and left.

Rupert shrugged and smiled at Hong Yuesheng.

Not long after Brunhilde walked out of the monitoring room, he remembered the phone on his body. As soon as she saw that it was an encrypted number, she couldn't help but sink her face. Pressing the connect button, as she guessed, the familiar and unfamiliar specially treated deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "You_and_your_Manta_team_should_take_part_in_this_mission. (You and your manta ray team should be part of this mission.) )”

"What?!" Brunhilde couldn't help but react excitedly.

“The_surveillance_of_ZhongJiu_is_your_primary_task,which_means_I_want_you_to_copy_whatever_information_ZhongJiu_has. Also,this_could_be_a_pretty_good_opportunity_to_observe_Erazer’s_action_data. (Spying on Zhongjiu is your first priority, and I want you to get a copy of all the information Zhongjiu can get.) What's more, this is an excellent opportunity to observe the combat data of the Adept. )”

"But! ......" Brunhilde was still trying to argue, but the other side of the phone had already hung up, leaving only the sound of "toot toot".

"Shit!" Brunhilde looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.

Why do you have to connect with this nightmare every time!

After everyone dispersed, Kevin was the only one left in the monitoring room.

As a result of the over-extraction of information, the back of the skinny-skinned monkey's open head was already flowing with tissue fluid like egg whites, and his face became more and more distorted, and his face was crooked like an ill-fitting mask, about to slide off the skeleton behind him. The big eyes behind the human skin mask stared at Kevin without blinking, and Kevin sweated like rain.

The skinny monkey moved his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound, and his voice had long been cut off. But from the lip sync, Kevin can read: "It's done, it's worth it...... to accompany your life"
