The dark, clammy cell was covered on three sides with windowless concrete walls, and only one was a fence wall with a lookout window and an iron gate.

A man in prison uniform sat on an iron chair in the middle of his cell, his head hung with a bright incandescent light.

The smell of metal and rubber filled the room, making the cement walls even more oppressive, eerie, and cold.

This is the interrogation room of Prison No. 11 in the city of Avent, where the war criminals of the Southern Legion and the minions of Tyre had been interrogated only a week earlier.

At this moment, the prisoner sitting in the room on trial is a disciple of the Enlightenment.

Two Willant prison guards sat at their desks outside the interrogation room, one on the left and one on the right.

They didn't know what was going on, and they thought this guy was an ordinary thief, and the big guy with a black face glared at his brass bell-like eyes and shouted loudly.

"Tell me honestly! Name! Age! Organization! And that...... Where are you hiding the Academy's research ship? He flipped through the files to figure out what this guy was guilty of, but he was confused about what this research ship was.

Research ships?

There is also a sea in the city of Avent, how did you get this thing lost here?!

A very real problem is that not all Willantes are well aware of what is going on in the Academy.

Even the vast majority of Willantes have the impression of the academy as a "slug in the swamp", and the only thing they know is a few words in the "Southern Army Victory".

It's hard to say that kind of thing can have a few words of truth.

In the face of the aggressive interrogation, Flynn closed his eyes and did not speak, with an expression that had already opened up, and did not intend to say a word.

From the moment he was caught, he was no different from a dead man.

The only regret is probably only one, that is, he did not die.

But it's not really a big deal.

He had been ready to sacrifice for his ideals a long, long time ago, and had long thought that he might have such a day in the future.

Therefore, no matter what kind of dirty methods those prison guards do, don't even think to ask a word out of his mouth!

The prisoners who had sat here before were all dejected, and it was the first time that the big prison guards sitting outside the bars had seen such an uncooperative prick.

Seeing that this guy didn't reply for a long time, he suddenly became angry and stood up with a slap on the table.

"Don't speak? I think you're itching! ”

Seeing that he took out the key and was about to go in to repair this guy, the older prison guard on the side hurriedly reached out to stop this guy.

Seeing that his old colleague was stopping him, the big prison guard said with a glare.

"Don't stop! It's useless for anyone to come today! I have to teach him a lesson! ”

The old prison guard tried to persuade him.

"Calm down! Don't be impulsive! The alliance has said that let's just take a good look at people, ask if we can, and don't rush to use means if we can't ask, they will naturally find a way. ”

"! I can't bear it! ”

"Listen to me, forget it......"

“……”

Listening to the singing and harmonizing dialogue, Flynn sitting in the cell was not only a little frightened, but even a little like laughing.

That's it?

It seems that the alliance is nothing more than that.

These people still can't let go of the reserve of civilized people.

In this way, Flynn survived the first round of interrogation with little effort, and all this ease even made him look down on the Alliance's methods.

I don't know how long it took, but just when he was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, there was another sound of movement and footsteps outside the fence gate.

It seems that it was just an appetizer.

Obviously, the interrogators of the alliance didn't intend to let him go so simply, and there were still two or three rounds to deal with today.

Flynn's eyelids twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his usual expression, and sat there with his eyes closed.

Just when he was ready to come and cover the water, Fang Chang, who was standing on the other side of the iron fence, looked up and down at this man who did not enter the oil and salt.

"Did he confess?"

Facing Fang Chang's inquiry, the prison guard standing on the side looked a little embarrassed, and handed out a blank record book in his hand.

"No...... You said that you don't use means to look at people, so we didn't use means, but just asked casually, but this guy didn't appreciate it and didn't explain a word. ”

Fang Chang nodded, didn't say anything, motioned to the prison guard to take the notebook and pen himself, and then walked to the visiting window, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I'm a resident of Vault 404, my name is Lai Richang, I heard that you are also from Vault?"

Hearing the word "refuge", Flynn reacted slightly, opening half of his eyes and glancing at the man across the bars.

But only a second glance.

Fang Chang raised his eyebrows.

"So you're not from the Vault?"

Flynn sneered and said nonchalantly.

"No. 68, Flynn ...... It doesn't make any sense for me to tell you, our refuge is long gone. ”

"Number 68, Flynn."

Fang Chang nodded, gave the stunned prison guard next to him a look, motioned for him to write it down, and then looked at the man sitting behind the iron window, and continued in a gentle tone.

“…… We don't really have any records in our database, but it's not too late to start building a file now. The Coalition has many of these Vault dwellers, all of whom live well and get along well with other wastelanders. ”

Flynn pursed his lips in disinterest.

"If you're going to convince me this way, save it."

"I didn't mean to convince you, because there was no need for that, and we'll soon know what we wanted to know," looking at Flynn with a disdainful face, Fang Chang smiled faintly and continued casually, "By the way, do you know where this is?" ”

Flynn didn't answer.

Or too lazy to answer.

Fang Chang didn't care about him, and said with a self-question.

"This is Prison No. 11 in the city of Avent, where the war criminals of the Southern Legion are on trial, and you are no more clever than them, and the organization behind you is no different. If we can defeat the Southern Legion and defeat Tyr, we can defeat you...... And I can tell you responsibly that it's as easy as pinching an ant to death. ”

Flynn sneered.

"You're talking a bit too much nonsense."

"I heard from my comrades-in-arms, you have a lot of nonsense, why do you sit here and have nothing to say?" Fang Chang looked at Flynn and smiled, then looked at the table below, and continued in a casual tone, "The time is almost up, I'm just chatting casually, don't take it too seriously." ”

Not letting his guard down because of these words, Flynn grinned slightly.

"Give up, I won't tell you a word."

The voice was soft.

It's like a letter from a viper.

Looking at this guy who was still stubborn when he was dying, Fang Chang suddenly smiled.

"Okay, I see."

With that, he glanced at the time one last time, got up and looked at the prison guard who had not taken two notes on the side, and commanded succinctly.

"Transfer him to room 101."

This guy was originally the person the academy wanted.

In that case, it will be handed over to the people of the academy to be reviewed.

That Jiang Xuezhou should be ready.

The guard stood up straight, his right fist pressed to his chest with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

Fang Chang waved his hand, and then walked out of the door leisurely.

As the order was given, three burly guards opened the iron door and walked in.

The prison guard at the head looked at his face with a sinister smile and a creaky fist - the same man who had threatened to give him some color.

Flynn didn't panic in the slightest.

However, looking at the back that disappeared at the door, he still involuntarily had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

What's that guy's idea?

Why was he so sure he could pry his head open?

The three guards who walked into the cell didn't give Flynn time to think about it.

Two of them stood guard next to him, one left and one right, while the leader used a key to open his leg cuffs and handcuffs.

At the same time as he was untying him, two prison guards standing next to him grabbed his arm and escorted him out of the door.

In fact, these actions are completely superfluous.

In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself, these people had already injected him with muscle relaxants, and he was now not much stronger than a baby.

Flynn sneered in his heart, let the three prison guards drag him away, and sent him from the small dark room to the so-called room 101.

To his surprise, room 101 was not the layout of an interrogation room, but rather a server room.

Rows of light green chassis sit in the corners, and pipes of varying thicknesses are tangled together like balls of yarn that are twisted haphazardly.

The only chair was the "dental operating table" in the center of the room, and his instinct told him that the ominous chair was his seat.

What the hell are these guys trying to do?

Flynn couldn't help but feel a faint panic in his heart, and the look in his pupils was no longer as calm as before, and he even struggled instinctively a few times.

However, the guards who were holding him did not get used to him, and directly pressed him to the chair, and then locked the shackles that held his hands and feet in place.

"Aren't you quite capable? I hope you don't pee your pants for a while," the big guard smirked at Flynn, reaching out and patting the face.

In fact, he didn't know what means the academy was planning to use, only that it was the Academy's C-level researchers who used the means.

This level should be pretty awesome, right?

Probably.

Flynn's eyes were fixed on the back of the big prison guard, and he didn't begin to pay attention to the room until all the guards had left the room.

The man called "The Long Coming" is not here, but instead there is a pair of men and women who look a little familiar-

Flynn's pupils constricted slightly, and he quickly recognized the two people standing here as the dog man and woman who had attacked him in the sewers earlier!

Seeing that guy staring at him, Ye Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Flynn, huh? We meet again. ”

Flynn stared at him with a gloomy face, then glanced at the woman next to him who was tinkering with bottles and needles, and squeezed a hoarse voice out of his throat.

"What the hell are you doing......

Truth teller?

Hallucinogens?

Hehe, that psychotropic drug didn't work for him at all.

"You say this?"

Ye Shi followed his gaze, only to see him staring directly at the chassis next to him, and then said with a smile, "This, in your words, should be called a memory extraction device." ”

The expression on Flynn's face froze slightly, but only for a moment.

"A memory extraction device? Less deception...... How could you have that kind of thing. ”

Looking at Flynn, who was pretending to be calm, Yeten said with a smile.

"No, there is actually one in Dawning City, but there is no one here."

Flynn sneered, a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

I don't know where the Alliance got it, but luckily there has to be a big desert across the place, and it's not so easy to get it.

However, just as he was thinking this, a cold voice suddenly drifted into his ears, and his heart that he had just put down raised back to his throat.

"There's really nothing evil here, but if I have to use it, it's not hard for me to get one out on the spot."

Jiang Xuezhou, who had already completed the preparations, turned around, looked at the man lying on the dental operating table with an expressionless face, and handed the needle with the potion to Ye Shi.

The latter understood, held the needle with two fingers, and strode to the operating table.

Flynn's face was horrified, and he instinctively shrank back, but he was tied so tightly that there was nowhere to escape!

Although his intuition told him that "getting one out on the spot" was a fart at all, the confident look on the face of the guy who walked towards him made it impossible for him to find any flaws.

Looking at the man who was pressing forward and the expressionless woman not far away, Flynn yelled as if trying to convince himself.

"What a bluff! Do you think memory retrieval technology is some kind of rotten street? That's the culmination of more than ten years of sociological experience—"

"More than ten years of accumulation?" Jiang Xuezhou looked at him with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a twisted bug, "Fully immersive virtual reality technology is just a subconscious mind that is induced by continuous input of neural signals to dig out the deep memories stored in the brain." It took you decades to do this? That's it? ”

To ask why it was so clear, of course, was because she had felt it.

Flynn looked at Jiang Xuezhou in fear, looking at the needle that was approaching next to his arm, his Adam's apple moved, but he couldn't say a word.

He didn't know where the memory retrieval technology came from, only that it could squeeze out the secrets of his mind like a machine that squeezed sugar cane juice.

Since most of the people who have gone through the system have become demented, they are also used as a disciplinary and deterrent within the organization.

He had not violated the discipline of the Order, nor had he ever betrayed the Order, so naturally there was no way he would have had the opportunity to try that kind of thing......

That's why he doesn't know how to fight this kind of thing!

Jiang Xuezhou looked at him indifferently and continued in a cold voice.

“…… Do you think that's some kind of clever technology? We didn't make it because we didn't want some fool who thinks he's clever and thinks how great he is to pry our brains out of it and use it on ourselves. ”

"But you're an exception, because you're fools who think you're smart, and I don't feel the slightest guilt about using this technique on you."

"I won't forget what you did to me, and now I'm going to give it back to you......"

"See for yourself."

With that, she looked at Night Ten, the man who had dragged her out of her nightmare.

Seeing that the plot was over, Ye Shi didn't talk nonsense, and without saying a word, he gave Flynn a needle in the arm, and then smiled and patted the latter's shoulder with a frightened face.

"Good luck, just take it as a nightmare."

Remember that Jiang Xuezhou's dream seemed to be a lot of snow?

There are also some hyena-like xenos.

Although she didn't know what was scary about Snow and a few hyenas, since she swore that she would be able to squeeze all the thoughts out of people's heads with this device, she would believe her.

For Jiang Xuezhou's ability, Ye Shi still believes in it.

Flynn was about to say something, but before he could spit out a syllable, a massive gravitational pull enveloped his entire body, dragging his increasingly heavy consciousness away from his body.

It feels like an out-of-body experience!

However, at the same time as the soul is out of the body, it is not only his five senses that are sealed, but also his memory!

He even forgot his name!

The consciousness that was dragged out of the body floated in the air for a while, and was soon sucked into a bottomless black hole, and then fell into the endless scarlet!

He seemed to live in his own heart, and he seemed to be standing in the center of the earth!

Then, after a long time, a pinprick-like itch suddenly crawled all over his body, and it didn't take long for the itching sensation to turn into a sharp pain burning on the flames!

"Ahh

Unable to bear the intense pain, Flynn wanted to scream, but could not make a single sound, and could only wail silently in the void without time and space.

Boundless fear filled his soul!

And with that infinite number of overclocking iterations, the things he feared and the fears themselves began to materialize, and became more and more concrete!

The cells of the whole body seem to be burning......

It's like falling into lava!

Soon the boiling magma turned into something else, and he tried to see what surrounded him, and the scorching presence soon became what he feared most......

Flame?

Why fire?

No one asked him.

It was he himself who was asking himself.

No sooner had the confusion come to his mind than the burning door of Vault 68 appeared in front of his eyes.

It wasn't just the door of Vault 68, he saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces through the raging flames!

Among them are his omnipotent father, gentle and kind mother, and lively and lovely sister...... There's also a friendly neighbor family, an amiable manager, and his iron buddies and the girls he once liked.

Those familiar faces had been sealed in the deepest part of his memory, but the boiling flames dug out none of them.

And it's not even just them—

And the marauders who killed them.

"No ——!"

Flynn roared hoarsely, his eyes blood-red, trying to rush in and save them from the marauders, but the ten-meter-long bridge seemed to be ten light-years long, and no matter how much he ran, he couldn't run until he collapsed in flames from exhaustion.

Mars in the sky spreads outward!

He watched as the memory slowed to the end, and then slowly remembered himself and their names, and the hatred that had been engraved on this unforgettable memory.

These white-eyed wolves—

The shelter gave them food and clothing...... And technology they've never seen in their lives! Let them live a life that they never thought of before!

And when they're full, they turn around and bite back!

He's going to kill them all—

Kill all the wastelanders on this planet!

At this time, blue figures suddenly appeared in the bloodshot pupils, and the fire and rain in the sky melted with their arrival.

There is a limit to how much pain can be perceived.

Constant pain only numbs the person and no longer responds to external stimuli – and this is clearly not what the ruling "God" wants.

Looking at the blue figures, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared on Flynn's face, as if a traveler crawling in the desert saw an oasis—

Even if it's just a mirage!

The men came up to him and, as he expected, with a smile on their faces, reached out to him.

Flynn used all his strength to reach the hand.

But at the moment of the fingertip touch, a huge gravitational force once again enveloped his whole body, dragging him into the boundless darkness.

"From this day forward, you are a disciple of the Enlightenment."

A familiar voice poured into his mind, and the world pieced together from the fragments of memories collapsed in an instant, and began to iterate again.

"No ——!!!"

Enough is enough!

I'll tell you everything!

Stop the damn thing!

Flynn's eyes were full of fear, and he let out a second cry—

Or rather, wailing.

But no one paid any attention to him.

No one heard it at all.

At the same time, in a cell in Prison No. 11 in the city of Avent, the second hand of the clock on the wall had barely passed for a second......

……

5 p.m.

Three hours had passed since the interrogation began.

Fang Chang glanced at the time on the VM, reached out and knocked on the door of room 101 next to him.

Just as he knocked on it for the third time, the door opened inward, and the smell of urine came to his face.

Furrowed from the pungent smell, Fang Chang leaned in the door to take a look, only to see that someone lying on the operating table already had a piece of turmeric underneath.

"You burned his brain?"

"How come," Ye Shi smiled, "people are still alive, but the spirit is really enough." ”

What the guy saw in his dreams, he saw on the holographic screen.

Frankly.

He even felt a little sympathy for the guy.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and when it is time to use the means, it is still necessary to use the means.

And compared to the Enlightenment, their methods can be considered benevolent.

The memory extractor of the Enlightenment Society can really burn people's heads, and Jiang Xuezhou's current program makes people's brains feel like being kicked a few times by a donkey.

If you don't have a firm mind, you may indeed go crazy, but people with a mature mind can still come out of the nightmare.

"It's really an evil technical ......," Fang Chang smacked his tongue and admired in his heart.

And the Willant prison guards standing behind him, after seeing the situation in the room, looked at the little girl in the white coat with awe.

Worthy of the academy!

It's really ruthless!

I can't see any external injuries on my body, and I can't see any external injuries on my body, and I can't go straight to incontinence!

This is also awesome!

At this moment, Jiang Xuezhou didn't know that he and the academy had gained the respect of the Willant people for inexplicable reasons.

After beckoning to Fang Chang who was standing in the doorway, and after motioning for the latter to come in and close the door, she handed a thumb-sized hard drive to Fang Chang's hand.

"The clues have been asked...... Our research ship is probably no longer on Earth. ”

Fang Chang frowned.

"Not on Earth? Where's that? ”

Jiang Xuezhou took a deep breath and said.

Orion...... Missile cruiser. ”

Ye Shi and Fang Chang glanced at each other, and each other's expressions were a little stunned and even confused.

But soon, the confusion gradually turned into excitement.

"? This is going to open a space map?! Ye Shi couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Fang Chang didn't pay attention to him, just coughed lightly, looked at Jiang Xuezhou with a serious expression and asked.

"Let me make sure...... This missile cruiser, is it a starship? ”

"Yes," Jiang Xuezhou nodded and said slowly, "All military ships in the era of the People's Federation are starships. The starship, built at Starport at Lagrange Point, was completed at the end of the three-year war and was wrecked shortly after entering service...... The exact cause of the crash is unknown. ”

"Awesome!!"

Ye Shi clenched his fists excitedly, eager to go offline on the spot and tell the brothers on the forum the good news.

However, this excitement did not last in his heart for two seconds, and he fell to the bottom because of Jiang Xuezhou's next sentence.

"Also...... According to our information, there are 100,000 neutron torpedoes stored on board this starship. ”

After a pause, Jiang Xuezhou continued in a trembling voice.

"Although the specific explosion yield data has not been found, there is a ......"

"At the end of the three-year war, the bombing mission of the Aerospace Force of the People's Union on the surface brood was carried out by this starship."
