Hunting Game [Interstellar]

As soon as these words came out, Brant couldn't help being slightly startled.

In fact, the Alliance Intelligence Department's investigation of the little prince can be traced back more than ten years ago. From public to private, as long as there are people and things related to him, they know everything about him. Of course, Su Shichuan is among them. .As the head of the intelligence department, Brandt knew not only the teacher-student relationship between the two on the surface, but also the inextricable connections behind the scenes.

Therefore, Xifa's words inevitably had a deep meaning in his ears, and he had to pay more attention to avoid saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing.

What's more, the identity of the person in the torture room was unusual. From the moment he got the news, Brandt was thinking about how to deal with the suspected "deliberately arrested" imperial agent. He wanted to pry the opponent's mouth open. To find out, at least dig out the real purpose, but also know that this is even more difficult than directly killing him.

Thinking about it differently, if he was in Su Shichuan's position...

For five days, Brant couldn't figure it out. Until now, his subordinates had sent him to the torture room, and he didn't want to understand why the old fox let him fall into the hands of the alliance.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a second breakthrough, that is, the semi-shark assassin who provided information-but he is also a member of the crown prince, even if it is their intelligence department, they cannot easily investigate and suspect without permission. When Xifa first arrived in the league, Rex gave a special account.

"Your Highness," Brant finally said, tentatively, "Before the formal torture, I still have a question."

Xifa's attention was all on the other side of the glass curtain wall. Hearing that he didn't even lift his eyelids, he said calmly, "Say it."

Brandt said: "Su Shichuan is the general of the Imperial Army. He has served as the emperor's tutor for 13 years, and later he also served as the deputy director of the intelligence department. To put it bluntly, although he is not very old, he The status in the Luo Yin Empire can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people, even Cisse has to give way to this mentor."

At this point, Xifa understood, so he withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Brandt: "You mean, in his current capacity, the news of this operation leaked, even including being arrested by your subordinates at Transit Star. It's a very suspicious chain of events, isn't it?"

"Yes." Brant said frankly, "From the perspective of the overall situation, it is equivalent to me falling into the hands of the empire. Do you think this is possible?"

"As far as I know, you also had a background in special tactics in the Imperial Military Academy. Admiral Su was the chief instructor at that time, and everyone knows the professional things well. There is a particularly appropriate theory in latent science, which says 'when When an agent begins to be suspected, his mission fails 80.00%'. Your Highness, we have reason to believe that he came with a mission, but now he has exposed himself 100% to us. It's not easy at first!"

After he finished speaking, Xifa slightly raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile: "Your analysis is correct, but my teacher is a little special."

Brandt heard the clue, and wisely did not answer, but gave the other party a questioning look.

Pressing out the cigarette butt, the smile in his eyes deepened, his voice was somewhat ambiguous and playful, and he said meaningfully: "He never plays cards according to common sense, even if he is an agent, he never abides by the rules. So you Optical analysis is useless. If you have any doubts about the source of the news, you can ask Xingyun yourself, don't worry about me, or—" He raised his chin and pointed to the other side of the wall, "Ask him."

Brant's mind turned quickly, and he vaguely grasped a very inconspicuous connection between the other party's words, and said uncertainly: "You mean...they know each other?"

The half-shark assassin and the emperor's teacher, these are two people who have never been noticed by the intelligence department, and they seem to be two people who can't beat each other.

Xifa stood up, took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, unbuttoned his cuff buttons, and rolled up his shirt sleeves in a leisurely manner: "I didn't say they knew each other, I just thought it was a coincidence."

"Hasn't Admiral Su been assassinated by 'The Unknown'? According to the records, Xingyun was the one who did it a few times." Brandt said.

"But the teacher is safe and sound. Every time there is no danger, at most he will be injured." After finishing speaking, Xifa walked around in front of Brant, pressed his hand on one of Brant's shoulders, and shook hands suggestively. "If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll go to the interrogation first."

When Brant heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Your Highness has worked hard, I will make a record here." Although he said so, he was more or less relieved in his heart.

The relationship between the two is very close. Although there is a ten-year gap, who knows what it will look like now?Right now Su Shichuan is waiting for trial inside, and Xifa is watching from the outside, how to interrogate?Is it necessary to punish?To what extent can punishment be used?These are not easy to grasp.He couldn't understand the minds and purposes of the two of them now, and he was in a very passive position. He was just happy to listen to the conversation first to get a feel for it, so that he could have a specific measure in his heart when it was his turn to go in.

The two passed by each other until Xifa left the monitoring room, and Brandt adjusted all kinds of equipment by himself, turned on the personal optical computer that he carried with him, and quickly entered the professional state.

At the same time, there was a knock at the entrance of the torture room.

Su Shichuan came back to his senses, looked up subconsciously, the CNC door slid open sideways, his eyes met, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he quickly calmed down.Xifa retracted his gaze, walked slowly into the torture room, and pressed the central control switch on the wall, and the door closed immediately. He took out a pair of full-finger tactical gloves and put them on.

From the beginning to the end, when the two reunited after ten years, they were silent. There was no greeting or communication, neither intimacy nor strangeness. They were like the most ordinary torturers and prisoners.Su Shichuan watched Xifa quietly, watching him walk all the way to the long table full of torture instruments, and picked up the thin whip with a clear goal, but Xifa didn't look at him again.

At that moment, the two trajectories of fate that were forced to separate according to the script coincided again, and everything regressed back to the night of No. [-] Prison—he came by night and severely beat Xifa who was imprisoned by himself. a meal.

The memory that broke through the shackles of reason rushed into his mind. Su Xingchuan felt his heart was tightly strangled with both hands, and then pressed into the cold water, letting him experience the pain of suffocation in a conscious state over and over again. He suddenly wanted to Speak up!

This eerie scene was recorded by various devices through the glass curtain wall. Brandt noticed that Su Shichuan's lips moved, and hurriedly pressed the headset tightly so as not to miss important information.However, what he waited for was not human words, but a whip.

Brandt was instantly shocked!

——There is no interrogation, no foreshadowing, and the torture will be done directly. How could Su Shichuan be the kind of person who can be told the truth?Your Highness is crazy!

In the torture room, Xifa loosened his grip on the two ends of the whip again, and stretched it suddenly after a while, as if testing the elasticity of the whip body, and let the barbed leather surface hit together, making an unusually loud "crack" sound.Su Shichuan was sobered up by the strange noise, and looked up at Sifer Tranze, who was standing sideways to him.

"I don't know if the teacher still remembers the last time we saw each other in the Imperial Prison." While speaking, Xifa turned to meet Su Shichuan's sight,

His expression was indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation between his eyebrows and eyes. Those azure blue pupils were extremely calm and calm, hiding all the undercurrents and turbulence, exuding a kind of inconspicuous, but extremely familiar... Dangerous taste.Su Shichuan stared at Xifa, who was almost completely different from ten years ago, and felt an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart—he was finally no longer a teenager, but an opponent who needed to be taken seriously.

"I remember." Su Shichuan said, "The teacher beat you that night, why, do you want to return it?"

As soon as the words fell, the strong wind brought by the whip was approaching in an instant, and Su Shichuan's eyes widened in astonishment.

In the next second, with a "snap", the front of the shirt was torn apart, blood splattered out, and the barbs picked up the fibers and flesh of the clothes and flew out, and then slammed back directly against the glass curtain wall at the other end of the torture room, making a more ferocious sound. Treacherous sound.

The whip is so close at hand, the visual impact can be called a burst!Brant's face also seemed to be slapped, and he couldn't help getting up and hurriedly confirming Su Shichuan's situation. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the torture was mixed with personal grievances, and if he continued to mess around, he might kill someone.After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but press the headset and reminded: "Your Highness, first interrogate and then torture—"

Before finishing speaking, Xifa replied: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Brandt: "..."

On the other side, Su Shichuan clasped his hands tied to death by chains tightly, revealing the meridians on the back of his hands.He lowered his head, his forehead covered his eyebrows and eyes, and his bloody chest heaved unceasingly. The welt was scalding hot, as if raw meat had been drizzled with hot oil. It was just a whip, and he was in pain all over his body. cold sweat.

Cold sweat dripped down his chin, his lips trembled slightly, Su Shichuan could hardly control his breathing, but his mind was clear - two whips hit him for the first time, and bounced back to the wall for the second time, he heard It turned out that there was something wrong with the material of the wall.

This little bastard... really wants to pay him back the full amount.

Su Shichuan breathed lightly, resisted swallowing, raised his eyes to look at Xifa again, and said with a smile, "Why did you stop? I beat you 37 times that day, and I remember every stroke. Xifa, don't you want to settle the matter with the teacher?"

Hearing this, Xifa didn't answer in a hurry, but took up the whip and walked slowly to Su Xingchuan, and gently lifted the opponent's chin with the whip that was still stained with blood, forcing him to raise his head and look at him.Xifa's eyes softened, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to contain extremely helpless heartbreak and distress. He looked down at the bleeding wound, and said word by word: "What you owe me is not clear in this life. It’s okay if you can’t beat it.”

"You have grown up," Su Shichuan said softly, "It seems that you are much taller."

It just so happened that a drop of sweat rolled into his eyes at this moment, and the salty feeling stings the tear glands, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.Opening it again after a while, Xifa noticed that those beautiful black eyes were covered with water vapor, as if they were about to cry, and looked indescribably fragile.

At that moment, Xifa suddenly had an impulse in his heart, almost bursting his chest.Like a trapped animal, he flicked the whip aside irritably, stepped forward and quickly opened the chains fixed on the opponent's wrist and ankle, without saying a word, he carried the person on his shoulder, and turned back to the long table where the torture equipment was placed , swept away the interfering instruments of torture with a big hand, and then directly threw Su Shichuan down on the table.

Su Shichuan was taken aback by this sudden action, and Brant on the other side of the wall was also shocked.

It is self-evident what this stance is about. Brandt is nearly middle-aged. Although he is an agent in charge of intelligence, his essence is integrity that is rare among his peers. Said to be obscene in public with well-equipped equipment!

The person who wanted to do something wrong was the crown prince of the current alliance, and the one who was violated was the imperial mentor of the empire. The identities of the two were more fatal than the other. Brandt sighed, knowing that the voice reminder was useless at this time, and it was purely courting death if he entered. , so after weighing it, he had no choice but to temporarily cut off the monitoring very thoughtfully, so as not to leak the screen and ruin the reputation of the intelligence department he had cultivated so hard.

At the same time, Su Xingchuan's back touched the problematic wall, causing pain in his shoulder blades, and his shirt was thin. He immediately sensed something was wrong, and tapped it lightly with his backhand.Brandt was speechless, watching the other party knock in front of him.

Su Shichuan smiled knowingly, and said, "So it's made of glass."

The monitoring and listening equipment was suspended, but the headset on Xifa's collar was still connected, and the sound in the torture room was transmitted into the ears of the minister.

Su Shichuan showed the best upbringing of a prisoner, with his right leg bent, the sole of his boot stepping on the edge of the table, fully cooperating, without struggling, and lazily letting Xifa take off his pants.

Xifa's original intention was to drive away Brant who was interrogating outside, and he didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary, but Su Zhanchuan's connivance was like a drop of ice water falling into hot oil. It was too low, and if he leaned there, it would simply lead people to commit crimes.

"Who's there?" Su Shichuan supported the table with one hand, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt with the other hand.

Xifa untied his belt, pulled it off and looped it around Su Shichuan's neck, pulling it violently.The live buckle tightened instantly, and Su Shichuan let out a "huh" in discomfort, and was pulled forward, leaning forward, and crashed into the opponent's arms.

This move was too big, involving the wound, Su Shichuan couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't get angry, and when the pain subsided, he gave Xifa a lewd smile instead.

Xifa was convinced, and had no temper for his teacher who had not forgotten to seduce him even after he had fallen so far, and had to admit that he was indeed seduced by him.Xifa resisted the urge to do it right away, stretched out his hand to caress the side of Su Shichuan's face, traced his lower lip with his thumb, and increased his strength until he rubbed the slightly pale place to blood, and then he bowed his head and kissed it.

"Who do you think it is?" His voice was hoarse and sexy, and he could hardly suppress his desire, "There will be a reward for guessing correctly."

Su Xingchuan licked the corner of his mouth, his fingers groped under his neckline, and took out the miniature microphone.Xifa couldn't help laughing, and made a gesture to kiss him again, but Su Shichuan pressed his chest and pushed him away, saying, "Put the headset on for me, I have something to say."

"Let's talk after we're done," Xifa said.

Su Shichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were filled with a smile, but his voice was serious: "Don't mess around, I'm serious."

"Me too." Xifa argued hard without giving an inch.

Brandt, who was watching on the other side of the wall, silently corrected his previous judgment, thinking that there is no personal grievance here?It's clearly the reunion of the little ones, and I'm too busy to vent my anger!

"Your Highness," he said desperately, "Admiral Su has a special status after all, we can all see that he intends to expose this time, I know you are anxious, but do you mind if we talk to each other first, and then I can avoid it?" ,what do you think?"

Xifa grabbed Su Shichuan's wrist, asked him to lift Mike to his lips, and said, "You haven't avoided it yet, when are you going to see it? You dare to look at my people, are you bored?"

Brandt: "..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate didn't even look at it." Brandt clarified seriously, then turned his back to the glass curtain wall, "I was going to avoid it, but it's not clear depending on the situation, I'm afraid you have other orders. .”

Xifa didn't want to talk nonsense with him and was about to hang up.Su Shichuan saw the guy's intentions, grabbed the microphone in his palm first, and repeated: "Earphones."

Sifa had nothing to do with him, so he took off the earphones and put them on for him himself.

Su Shichuan put his arms around the back of his neck, raised his head and kissed him on the lips, and said in a voice that only each other could hear: "Reward." Then he leaned back against the glass wall, pinched Mike with his fingers and thought for a moment, and then He smiled leisurely, "I guess, you should be the intelligence minister of the alliance, Mr. Brandt?"

Brant heard the other party's voice, and his expression changed immediately: "Mr. Emperor, I have heard of your name for a long time."

"I won't say polite words, we are colleagues, I know all the doubts in your heart." Su Shichuan said, "I don't represent any camp this time, I came to meet your commander Rex in the name of a person. , I know you have the authority to contact him, please inform me."

When he finished speaking, Xifa and Brant were stunned at the same time, and Brant asked in surprise, "You want to see Rex?"

"Yes," Su Shichuan repeated patiently, "Please inform me."

"I can inform you, but I can't guarantee that the commander-in-chief will agree to meet." Brandt replied seriously, "Unless you have a reason to persuade him to meet."

Hearing this, Su Shichuan smiled unsurprisingly, and said, "You can tell me another word when you are reporting, just ask him 'do you think there is something wrong with the crow that joined the alliance with the third highness?" , as long as you ask, he will definitely meet me."

Brandt realized something in an instant, and couldn't help turning around to look at the wall.At the same time, Su Shichuan happened to tilt his head and smiled at the invisible colleague.

"You are the crow," Brant said cautiously, "right?"

"You are very sensitive," Su Shichuan's attitude was very sincere. "You might as well tell Rex your speculation during the briefing. Believe me, for the future of the alliance, he will not miss this meeting."

"Okay." After speaking, Brandt interrupted the call and quickly left the surveillance room.

Su Shichuan also took off the earphones, and put them together with the microphone out of the way: "He's gone." He looked up at Xifa, "If you have anything to say, you can say it with confidence now."

Xifa didn't speak, leaned over and hugged Su Shichuan, tightened his arms, and strangled him into his arms.Su Shichuan was crushed to the point of pain, but he didn't say anything. He hugged the other person's back, responding to this long-lost reunion hug.

"I miss you."

"Me too."
