In the prison in Phoenix, soldiers put away the instruments that ended communications. Zero looked at Rhine and said, "You have a smart big brother. ”

"Hart, you say?" Rhine nodded, "He's always been the pride of the family." ”

"That means he's worth a lot more than you?"

Rhine frowned, "You even paid attention to him?, believe me, he's not as easy to deal with as I am." ”

"Nothing, no matter how hard it is, it can't be better than Oglok?" Zero smiled.

As soon as Rhine was on the march, the man in front of him turned out to be the Speaker of the Dark Council, the Oglock who had stood on the coastline for decades without falling, as his imaginary enemy. So on this road to bring down Oglok, Hart is not an enemy at all, at most a slightly troublesome obstacle? Rhine had a ridiculous feeling, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Since you want to exchange me for supplies, why don't you exchange the other people with you?"

"There is a plan for this. Zero glanced at the capable people in the prison and said, "When the time comes, these people will be returned to Hart, so let's treat it as a giveaway." But your soldiers can't, because I don't have a shortage of workers, and I have a lot to do. ”

"Rest well, Mr. Rhine. ”

Looking at Zero's figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, Rhine had indescribable mixed feelings.

Winter is over, but spring is still cold. Especially under the dungeon, the temperature is just above freezing during the day, and at night, it drips into ice. But in the case of Prison No. 1, the temperature is not a big deal. First, there are very few prisoners who are held here, and secondly, the prisoners who can be imprisoned here are not ordinary people. The low temperature is not fatal to them, especially if they are able to maintain their strength, even if they don't wear anything, they won't freeze to death.

Shuya is one of them.

Her cell was simple, with beds, sheets, a table, a few books, and a separate bathroom. This kind of treatment, of course, is just her. It can be said that in addition to not being able to enter and exit at will, she is free here, and even her power has not taken any measures to imprison her. As long as Xiuya is casual, leaving this small prison is nothing, and each of the few prisoners held here can easily do this.

Prison No. 1 didn't even have a defense system or weapon platform, and the strongest of the few soldiers in charge of guarding it was only the third or fourth order. They were not so much guards as nannies for these criminals. But no convict dared to leave the prison, even if it was a dead state for them. Because above this prison is the shadow of Oglok.

Xiuya has been locked in for many days, and with her previous personality, it is estimated that she will not be able to sit still in two days. But this time, she was unusually quiet. The most I do every day is to be in a daze, whether it's in prison or when I'm out of the wind.

Today is no exception.

After flipping through a few pages of an old-era book, Major General Bloodrider leaned against the corner in a daze. Footsteps rang out, and a moment later, an unfamiliar face appeared outside the cell. It was a man, with pale blonde hair, a faint smile on his face, a stubble around his chin that looked a little unkempt, and those sea-blue eyes that showed a more languid feeling.

But when he saw him, Xiuya's intuition told him that everything was an illusion. Underneath those seemingly gentle appearances, there is a fierceness that Xiuya is secretly wary of.

This is not a simple man.

After the guard opened the cell, the man put his left hand to his chest, bowed elegantly, and said, "I have been famous for a long time, Major General Xiuya." ”

Xiuya didn't move, not even speaking. The man was not angry either, and nodded to the guard, who turned to leave, before he walked into the cell. But after only two steps, he suddenly stopped, and a cluster of ice spikes quietly rose from the ground in front of him, and if he stepped on it just now, the foot plate would definitely pierce the ice spikes.

"It seems that Major General Xiuya does not like visitors. The man said.

Xiuya said lightly: "You are not small, you know that the prisoners of Prison No. 1 cannot be visited by the way. But not only did you come, but you didn't care about it. Then it only means that you are also the number one person in Eternal Night City, at least not so afraid of my father. It is strange that there is no reason why I should not know those who are not afraid of my Father. But I've never seen you, so ...... Are you from the Enforcement Corps?"

The applause rang out, and the man applauded and sighed: "It is rumored that Major General Xiuya has always acted impulsively, but unfortunately they are wrong. The major general also has a cautious side, your reasoning is completely correct, in the lower left, the head of the law enforcement regiment. It was the first time I met with the major general. ”

Xiuya wasn't surprised at all, but said coldly, "I don't think many people are willing to meet with the head of the law enforcement team, it's not very pleasant." Did your father ask you to come?"

"No, it's entirely my own will. In fact, it took me a lot of effort to hide the Speaker's eyes and ears from appearing here. To be able to stand here, the manpower and material resources spent are definitely more than you can imagine. So you see, time is so precious, for you and me. Then I'm not going to beat around the bush, Major General Shuya, and I hope you understand that you are also part of the Parliament. For the sake of the overall parliament, please be honest with me a few questions. Zuo Fei said solemnly.

Xiuya looked at him and said, "You piqued my interest. Ask, I'll listen. ”

"What is Prosius?" Zuo Fei asked suddenly.

Xiuya's expression froze, and the air in the prison plummeted to freezing. The surrounding walls, including the floor, crept up on the frost. This thin layer of frost stretched all the way to Zuo Fei's feet, but stopped a few centimeters from his feet, and then gradually disappeared again. Xiu Ya then said: "It seems that the statement that the law enforcement team is everywhere is true, but I didn't expect that even my father has your shadow by his side." ”

Zuo Fei said lightly: "The original intention of the establishment of the law enforcement team is to ensure that the council will not become a tool of some people and go astray. So even if it is the Speaker, we have the obligation and right to monitor, and the Speaker himself knows this, but he doesn't know who the law enforcement team is. ”

Xiuya sneered: "It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't care at all. ”

"I don't want to make unnecessary excuses on this point, but how about we go back to the original question?"

Xiuya said directly: "I don't know much about Prosius. From some people's mouths, I roughly knew that it wasn't something on Earth. But there's no denying that it's powerful, very powerful, powerful enough to wipe out any life on this planet. ”

"And what is the Speaker's reaction to Prosius?" Zuo Fei asked again.

"He doesn't care. Xiuya spread her hands and said, "He cares more about the current war." ”

Zuo Fei was silent, but it was Xiuya's turn to ask: "Why does the law enforcement team know this?"

"Major General, the parliament is now at a very dangerous stage. Zuo Fei sighed and said: "The parliament is not the speaker's personal tool, in the position of the council, there are at least a few positions that even the speaker must respect." But now, it is clear that the Speaker has embarked on a very dangerous path, according to our investigation, in the past six months, the Thai half of the Parliament has been transferred by the Speaker in his personal capacity, but in the end he has not been able to go. On the other hand, the funding needs for the Abyss Project are growing so great that other members of the Council have doubted the need to continue with the project, but the Speaker alone has silenced all objections. ”

"But these are not the most important things, the important thing is that we found a terrible thing. ”

Xiuya frowned: "What's the matter?"

"About the origins of this war. ”

"Although I was not in Eternal Night at the time, I also heard that the fuse of this war was caused by Valhalla's blatant violation of the treaty and attack on one of our cities, isn't it?"

Zuo Fei smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. ”

"After the attack in the City of Shadows that day, the Ninth Knight Rhein was ordered to investigate, and there are also our people in the investigation team, so it is not difficult to get the bodies of several intruders. Zuo Fei took his hands behind him, looked outside the cell and said, "After this incident, the speaker declared war on Valhalla on this matter. The justification for the declaration of war was based on the fact that these invaders came from Asgard. ”

"They do have the symbol of Asgard on their bodies. ”

"That's only for their clothes, Major General. It's easy to forge a batch of these clothes. Zuo Fei said in a deep voice: "And the truth is that these invaders are indeed some kind of biological weapons, but they are not from Asgard. During the more than a year of war, we have closely followed Valhalla's operations, and we have found that in any of the battles, they have not dropped similar weapons. Even if Valhalla almost pushed the young master of the Augustus family into a desperate situation a few times, it didn't make sense that he hadn't dropped these powerful weapons, Major General. ”

"Then in the speaker's private account, we found an interesting record. Prior to the attack on the City of Shadows, the Speaker had paid a considerable sum of money to his account, which had been used to purchase a shipment of supplies from the Council, including several ingredients used in biological weapons experiments. What makes us curious is that this batch of materials eventually disappeared, as if the world had evaporated. ”

Xiuya stared at him and said, "What do you want to express?"

"Deal. Zuo Fei raised a finger and said: "From all kinds of coincidental signs, as well as unexplained financial operations, we have probably pieced together a prototype of an event. The Speaker used his own private funds to purchase humanoid weapons from third parties and staged a farce of attacks to use as a pretext for starting a war. And as far as we know, there happens to be a place that specializes in the production of humanoid biological weapons......"

"Asmo!"

Xiuya looked at the man and said, "Do you know what you're talking about? You're questioning my father, questioning the speaker of the parliament. ”

"Of course I know that, in fact, I was authorized by several wealthy families to secretly investigate this matter. In order to prevent the speaker from using his own selfishness to pull the entire parliament into the abyss from which it will never recover. Zuo Fei said calmly.
