Chapter 926: Prisoners

Shadow City is an attractive place, even though it is the heart of the Imperial Dynasty and the capital of the entire Hongshi Realm system, it is heavily guarded and disciplined, and it may seem intimidating to outsiders, but the residents of all generations who actually live here or have visited Shadow City once will agree on one thing: this is a magical and unforgettable city, and the wonders you can see here in your lifetime are far beyond the sense of oppression brought by the soldiers who can be seen everywhere in the city, if you can, Being able to live in Shadow City will be the greatest dream of the residents of the Hongshi Realm.

But the above situation needs to be ruled out: the deepest part of the military separation zone, there is a building that is absolutely off-limits, surrounded by dense sentry posts and detectors, a floating cannon can be seen almost every ten meters in mid-air, and there are warning signs everywhere and royal guards who will shoot at any object that approaches without permission, a heavy and solemn sense of oppression pervades this area, and low-authority Xiling soldiers are not even allowed to enter and exit this area at will, so to speak, In the entire calm and peaceful shadow space, this is the most uncomfortable place, this is the place where the security level of the shadow fortress is second only to the headquarters, and the danger level is even higher than the headquarters: the prison.

"The prisoner is in normal condition, he has been quiet and cooperating with our scans of his body."

In front of the heavily guarded black dome building, the warden in charge of the region, a tall imperial officer with a stern face, reported to us the situation of the prisoner codenamed "A", his expression was extremely serious, it was clear that that the extremely special prisoner had recently raised the security level of the entire prison area.

The Fallen Apostles captured from the Ruins World Realm are imprisoned here, so it's no wonder that the officers and soldiers of the prison are highly nervous, I think this should be the most special prisoner of war that the Empire has ever held: a former emperor, and belongs to the Abyss camp, no one knows what special tricks Lu Dao still hasn't used, and no one knows how much if Lu Dao escapes, how much we need to wait until we can catch the next one alive from the Fallen Apostle camp if this prisoner escapes.

The Fallen Apostle has been proven to be only a mid-level officer, and may not even be the main force, and he certainly has no threat in terms of combat effectiveness, and the greatest significance of Prisoner A to the Empire is his status as a Fallen Apostle, because of this status, he has received far more treatment than ordinary prisoners: three times as many guards and interrogation every four hours, and until there is no better way, continuous interrogation is the only means we can take.

His mouth was very tight, and he only said his name so far, and he didn't even say his rank and affiliation to the legion, in order to prevent any information related to his army from being leaked, "Under the guidance of the prison warden, Sandora and I came to the transit area of this space prison, a white and empty space, where you can't see up and down, left and right, the prison warden said regretfully while adjusting the transmission code to the dimensional cage, "Torture is obviously ineffective, and mental crushing is obviously not very effective for the fallen apostles, He has set up a self-destruct device for his memory core, and as soon as the core is read by a third party, it will immediately self-format, and all torture methods that work against ordinary races are ineffective for such prisoners, and his subordinates are very sorry for such weak progress. ”

"Don't worry, if you can get information so easily, he doesn't deserve to be one of the Empire's greatest enemies."

Sandora said with a nonchalant wave of her hand.

At this time, my attention was actually elsewhere: in this white space, a gourd-shaped white luminous body hovered quietly, which was the prison warden's host......

"Since the last time the Pandora sisters teamed up to kick the girl, hasn't anyone fixed it?"

I felt the muscles in the corners of my eyes tremble, looking at the gourd-shaped luminous body not far away that was full of complaints from all aspects, I once again recalled the declaration of the main god of the pit father of the prison host who had become particularly indebted after reading a lot of novels, and I don't know if it dares to continue to call itself the main god now.

"The change in form doesn't affect the performance of this core of thinking." The warden paused awkwardly before replying, "Of course, the main reason why no one repaired it is because it insists on it......."

"Yes, my Majesty is the Most High."

As soon as the warden spoke, a divine voice came from the surrounding air, followed by a gourd-shaped luminous body not far away, which turned at an angle, as if nodding to me and Sandora: I actually saw the meaning of nodding from a gourd!

"I took the initiative to ask to maintain the status quo," the prison host said in a very serious manner, "Since I was transformed by the two generals, I have been thinking deeply for seven days to think about my life and the meaning of existence...... Yes, I think there should be some changes in my life so that my life doesn't seem too monotonous, and since I have an extra head, I feel that my life is much richer......"

Me: "......"

"Life is the undulating ocean, only the changes that are going on all the time are the proof of the existence of life, so the changes are beautiful and eternal, yes, that's it, so I am very satisfied that my life can produce such a rare change: after all, as a prison host, it is very difficult to get this kind of change......"

Me: "......"

Well, now who's going to explain to me what this problem is?

If it turns out that this light ball prison host who always makes up his brain as the main god is just a bit of a middle two and poor mouth, then now Ya is completely a symptom of late psychosis turning into severe schizophrenia, what is going on with this big amount of emotion about life? Last time, Pandora and Viska kicked too hard, causing this guy to even break his logic?

"This console has been a little out of order since it came off the production line."

Obviously, the warden was also a little embarrassed by the situation in front of him, but he couldn't explain what was going on, "It talks a lot, and often takes the initiative to learn a lot of strange knowledge, but it runs more stably than any host, and it is constantly optimizing its computing mode and the prison's soft system with amazing efficiency, and various tests have shown that the probability of this host making mistakes in the working range is infinitely close to zero, so until now we have not considered replacing or formatting it." Of course, if His Majesty thinks that the situation of this console is in danger, we will replace it immediately. ”

“…… No, I think it's better to keep it. The corners of Sandora's eyebrows trembled a little, and it was very obvious that Her Majesty the Queen was also particularly speechless about this strange prison AI, but Sandora was more concerned about something deeper, "The general-purpose host coming down the production line will not mutate, is the production record of this thing normal?" ”

"It's been investigated, everything is normal," the warden glanced at the gourd "Lord God" who had already begun to read aloud the seven-character poem, and his face became more and more embarrassed, "There are detailed information from the time the production plan entered the factory to the time it was installed in the building, and there are no problems in between. ”

At this time, the prison host, which was already obviously very abnormal, began to shout loudly again: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first toss to death, temporary pain means that the value of life is about to be reflected, and I firmly believe that my birth is unique, so - my man, in fact, I think there should be a small place where the code exchange process inside the prison can be optimized, of course, not a big improvement and no too obvious change, but as a main god who will definitely take on the heavy responsibility, I feel like I need to do everything to the best of my ability, and if you're okay, I'll change the code myself, huh? ”

"Your Majesty, as you can see, it has been improving its performance at a rapid pace, and no one can say where its new information came from, and no one knows how far this building-based intelligent system can eventually be enhanced," the warden shrugged, "In short, it is still evolving, and according to the expert analysis report of the research center, after a maximum of half a month, this console will be self-improved from a production model to a prototype that can be named independently, It was even possible to scan its logic group at that time to continuously produce the next generation of AI of the same family. ”

"A mass-produced system that was supposed to be finalized has gradually evolved in the direction of a prototype...... "Sandora sighed, "The research center must have established a corresponding research plan, and I will personally follow this matter when I have time." Now take us to see the prisoner. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The still-chattering and increasingly nervous prison host was put behind us for a while, and after a series of close-knit handovers of identity and security systems, we entered the deepest encrypted space of the prison building: a self-circulating space with no boundaries from the mathematical model.

"Stay here for a day, and the average person should go crazy." I looked around, and the vast cage was nothing but a miserable whiteness, and the Apostle of Hilin would never go out of humanitarian ways to improve his treatment of prisoners.

The so-called self-circulating space, in fact, you can see it as a Möbius system at the three-dimensional level, the space system is forcibly distorted, there is only one coordinate system, and it will quickly return to the origin in any direction, of course, any closed space will produce this phenomenon, but the self-circulation space is not so simple: it just seems to have a similar nature to the closed space, but in fact it is overlapped after countless self-extensions, in this kind of space, Any form of displacement is extremely dangerous: every unit of distance you move (usually the length of a Pandora, that is, 1.2 meters), it means that you will fall to one of the countless layers of space, and on the surface it seems that you are not moving, but in fact your coordinates have become random and unknown to anyone, that is: jailbreaking, which means that there is no return.

Except for the prison host and the prison director himself, as well as the emperor, there is no second person who has the key system to recalculate the coordinates of the self-circulation space, and this self-circulation space is also placed in the gap between the world realm and the void like an ordinary dimensional cage, which is considered a double insurance, so in this kind of cage, even a space expert like Asida Asidora can't get out of the prison, and this kind of high-standard guarding measures are used to imprison the prisoner in front of us, which seems to be a waste of points.

"Looks like you're quite comfortable with this kind of environment."

Looking at the prisoner in front of me with an expressionless face hanging in the energy restraint, I shrugged.

The warden has been ordered to leave the cell, and there are only me and Sandora here, as well as the prisoner in front of us, and we don't believe that he can play any tricks, and naturally there is no one to protect him: not to mention that I have always thought that the guards around Emperor Xiling are a very magical position, who is guarding whom......

"Well, it's okay." Prisoner A hung on the blue chains of the energy restraints, with no resentment or irritability on his face, as if answering an old friend's question, and replied very calmly.

"You're a weird guy." Although I thought of countless ways to use Manchu torture at first, now those things have disappeared: I am afraid that I can't ask anything about this kind of soft and hard hob meat with my two skills, and the warden and his prison guards must have mastered many more torture techniques than me, and they didn't ask anything, so it can be seen that prisoner A cannot use conventional means to extract a confession.

"They say the same about me," Prisoner A smacked his lips indifferently, "but it doesn't make any sense, you can toss whatever you want, I have nothing to say on everything." Of course, if you don't discuss military matters with me, I'd be happy to talk to you. Of course, if you have to talk about the battle, I have something to say: this time you are lucky, if you have another battle like that, you will die, and our tactics will be better! ”

I nodded heartily: "I admire your fearless spirit and optimistic attitude to life. ”

"Xie Lu Xie, in addition, I think you may have a bit of a problem with words, and an optimistic attitude to life is generally more appropriate to use appreciation without admiration......"

"Ha, I really doubt if you suffered some kind of mental damage in the battle," this time even Sandora couldn't help but snort, she had seen tough guy type prisoners, weak type prisoners she had also seen, and even the prisoner who dared to give the middle finger to Emperor Xiling, but it was the first time she had seen such a calm guy in front of her, "You are facing the supreme leader of the empire, and it is really surprising that you are so calm." ”

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised," Prisoner A moved his arm, as if it made him uncomfortable staying in that position all the time, "Well, this is the truth, it's a real honor to meet you at the emperor level, I remember that it took me more than two thousand years from the time I came down the production line to the first time I spoke to the emperor face-to-face, and that time I burned out three logical units - well, take the liberty of asking, can you change my position?" I think I'm a bit stupid like this......"

A few minutes later, Prisoner A was tied in mid-air by Sandora and me, and the queen is the queen, and Sandora is much smarter than me in how to tie people up in an anti-V.

"Well, I'll admit that I made a particularly stupid suggestion," the prisoner hung in the air, "aren't you here today just to entertain me?" Also, how long do I have to do this pose? If I could, I would still prefer the cross shape from before......"

"It won't be long, we just want to do a test today," I recalled a few key points in the report submitted by Tavel this morning, although the coffin control glasses lady was a little weird in aesthetics, but she was indeed a good scientist, and even such an unscientific thing had studied a little bit of the doorway, although I don't know how effective the test was, but it looked very powerful, "If the test goes well, you will choose to cooperate with us in ten minutes." ”

"Is this the latest method of extracting memory cores?" Prisoner A dangled and asked, "It's useless, the self-destruct program I set for them." ”

"No, it's a brand new skill," Sandora glanced at the always calm fallen apostle, "There's an Imperial Mother who named it: the Emperor's Majesty's Fraternity......"

I was moving my arms, and Sandora suddenly made her feet go weak and almost hit the street with a word: "Hey! The name of the girl who is off the thread, don't take it casually, no! ”

"Inexplicably, you guys from the previous generation are really inexplicable......"

Prisoner A looked at me and Sandora entangled in a strange topic with a strange expression, and couldn't help but sigh, but his exclamation was only halfway through before his face changed: "Huh?!" What are you doing?! ”

"Transform and give you a buff."

A unique voice that had been distorted into a hollow echo came out of me, and though I still didn't understand how I made a sound in this form, it was probably a direct message broadcast that was transformed into a voice. I raised my arm, and I was greeted by a blurry, pulsing black limb at one end, dotted black particles rising from my body, violently clashing with the space around me, forming a circle of unstable ripples.

Just standing here makes such a solid prison space unstable, and at this moment I feel like I might be a very powerful guy.

"Jun, legs, legs," Sandora's voice came from the side, and she pointed to my lower body and laughed, "You forgot to grow your legs!" ”

As soon as I lowered my head, I jumped up: "Eh, I'll go, why did I suddenly lower so much!" ”

I have to say that it is easy to have problems transforming a mature skill, for example, now, I am used to slowly hollowing out the space around me when I enter the void form, which is an almost biological instinctive force, and now according to Tavel, I must control this trend in order to maximize the durability and maneuverability of my use of this ability, she is right, but it is really difficult to actually operate, It's hard for me to grasp the measurement of this force output, because negligence in control will lead to the hollowing out of the surroundings, and the amount of force will leak before the magnification move, and too tight control will lead to missing arms and legs...... After all, the nature of void creatures is incorporeal, and if Sandora hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered that I still had legs.

"Ah Jun, legs ...... This time it's three-legged......" Sandora's voice came again.

Me: "......"

"What are you guys putting on a show?" Even the prisoner A spoke, and sounded particularly troubled, "Besides, excuse me, are you facing me now?" ”

I stared at him viciously—though he probably didn't feel it, because I didn't have eyes: "I'm looking at you right now!" ”

Prisoner A was shocked: "Huh? I thought it was the back of the head! ”

I was furious: "Have you ever seen a nose on the back of your head?" ”

"I've never seen a ...... with a nose on the brain."

Me: "......"

I felt that I couldn't stand this strange guy anymore, so I stepped forward and twisted my waist, and hit the other party's chin with an uppercut: "You go sober!" ”
