glory [rebirth]

"Boss, the Thorn Legion found a corpse at the coordinates 697 in Area X."

Yi Ermo took the photo taken by the opponent's miniature reconnaissance plane and looked at it carefully. After a few seconds, when he saw the state of the corpse clearly, he subconsciously moved it away.

"This face is completely smashed, do you have any identification?" The corpse in the photo has been dried a lot, and the whole body is in a shriveled state. Although it is not festered, the miserable appearance of the head is still disgusting.

"Yes." The subordinate said, and then took out a card in a plastic bag, "He has this card on him."

"..." Irmo reached out and took it. On the card was a pattern of two crossed daggers, which was the flag of the independence of the headquarters area. A line of words was written under the pattern——

Dedicated to the Ministry of Intelligence who died for the Empire.

Yi Ermo was silent for a while, carefully identified the clothing of the corpse, and found that he really had no impression of this clothing, so he asked, "Did you do a DNA comparison?"

"I'm already doing it, but the result hasn't come out yet, so I guess it will be at night." The subordinate replied.

Yi Ermo nodded and said, "It's probably our informant, let's talk about it when the results come out tonight."

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate did not leave after the conversation, and Yi Ermo asked casually, "Is there anything else?"

The subordinate replied: "We also received a photo of the tortured prisoner. None of us knew the person in the photo."

"When did you receive it?" Ermo asked in surprise.

"Not long after the body was found." The subordinate replied.

"Is it paper or electronic?"

"Electronic files."

Ermo walked to the computer, opened the internal mail system, and said, "Send it to me."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

This group of people will not send them photos for no reason, torture prisoners?And after sending it over, none of them knew each other...

Five seconds later, a new email alert popped up on Yirmo's screen.

There is only one picture attachment in the email without any text content.

"Have you found anything about the email address?" Irmo asked while opening the photo, his eyes widened suddenly, his fingers were frozen on the touchpad, and he didn't move for a long time.

"It's a one-time ip address, and the sending location is also in their territory..." Before the subordinate could finish speaking, he noticed Ermo's abnormality. He touched Ermer's arm, "Boss, are you here?" Do you listen?"

Ermo was still staring at the screen stupidly.

The man in the photo was naked, his body was covered with scars, his thighs were festered, and a dark viscous liquid was oozing out. Under the dim light, it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or pus.After not eating for a long time, the man's cheeks were deeply sunken, and his ribs were clearly defined.The originally muscular chest muscles were covered with blood stains, and the evil god tattoos on them had been distorted and deformed due to the swelling of various wounds, and the skin had lost its original color, with blue and purple mottled bruises everywhere, which looked shocking.

"Boss?" The subordinate pushed Yi Ermo again.

Ermo came back to his senses suddenly, and looked at him sharply.

The subordinate was taken aback. He didn't know why Yirmo reacted so strongly. He hesitated for a few seconds and asked uncertainly, "Boss, do you know him?"

Yi Ermo shifted his eyes to the screen again, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Let the technical team improve the clarity of this photo and send it to me...it's best to identify the approximate injury."

"Okay, boss!"

Yi Ermo rubbed between his brows, waved his hand, and said, "Go, I'll wait here."

Of course Irmo knew him, he was Damian Ferguson, a confidant of His Royal Highness, a sophomore at the Tokas Military Academy.

King Yar City, apartment.

"Hello?" Mu Qingtong put on the earphones and said happily, "Are you done?"

"No." Jiang Yao couldn't hear any happy emotion in his tone.

"Then why..." Mu Qingtong wondered.

"Is Schwartz in the apartment?" Jiang Yao asked.

"No, he went out after lunch, and he probably won't be home until after six o'clock. What's the matter?"

Jiang Yao on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before saying, "I'll tell you something, don't tell Schwartz just yet."

"..." Mu Qingtong groaned in his heart, and asked anxiously, "Is it about Damian?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yao didn't deny it, "The monkey is broken, and it's probably still locked up in the dungeon. There are a lot of injuries on his body... There is no way to save it now, and it's a bit choking."

"You really sent him to go undercover?" Mu Qingtong asked.

"Yes." Jiang Yao said, "Herman has been in the central region for so many years, and many informants in the intelligence department have been controlled by him. When the battle started this time, the amount of intelligence was obviously much less than before. I suspect that he did Hands and feet, let Damian go in and investigate... But it has only been sent once in such a long time, he has entered too deep, there is no backup at all, and if he enters rashly, he may be killed."

"..." Mu Qingtong sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing how to answer. Once the identity of the undercover agent is discovered, it will definitely be fatal. Many of them will be killed on the spot, and the rest will be tortured to death slowly.

"Don't be so pessimistic." Jiang Yao said, "They sent such a photo to test us, the monkey is not dead, otherwise they would directly send a photo of his body instead of a photo of him being abused .”

What Mu Qingtong is most worried about now is that Schwartz knows about this. The network of the intelligence department in the central region is connected to this side. Schwartz said that all information is shared and synchronized. He is currently maintaining the network. In case he is found out ...

"Is there really no other way?" Mu Qingtong's throat was blocked badly, and his eyes were sore and uncomfortable. He was still talking about Damian with Schwartz at noon today, and he was still waiting for him to come back.

Damian told him that he was not interested in royal disputes at all, and only wanted to get a good job after graduation and spend his life in a normal way.

But now, he almost sacrificed his life for the sake of this country and the future of the royal family.

"Just keep Schwartz on your side, and I'll handle it here, understand?" Jiang Yao persuaded, "It's okay, I'm here."

No matter what happens, Jiang Yao always likes to bear the burden on himself, and doesn't let Mu Qingtong get involved too much.

Although Mu Qingtong was not used to this, it inevitably made him feel at ease.

Jiang Yao has been playing an omnipotent role in front of him, and he is also happy to entrust everything to him, he trusts Jiang Yao without reservation, he believes that no matter what happens, Jiang Yao will solve it .

"Well, okay..." All Mu Qingtong could do was try not to cause trouble for Jiang Yao, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said, "If you have a situation over there, you must tell me in time, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Yao agreed.

"You also pay attention to safety, isn't the war coming to an end?" Mu Qingtong asked.

"It's the last battle, it shouldn't take more than two weeks."

"My son and I are waiting for you to come back."

That word inevitably hit the softest part of Jiang Yao's heart. He pondered for a while before solemnly saying: "Okay."

The city of Yar, the coordinates are unknown.

Schwartz collapsed in the back seat of the car, and he didn't completely faint in a daze. His vision was blurred at first, and then it became as if he had taken drugs. The surrounding scenes were all jumping and deformed, as if in a dream.

He couldn't figure out what he had been injected with. The medicine took effect too quickly, but the dose should not be large.

The other person did not know that he had a very strong tolerance to this type of drug.

Schwartz knows very well that once an accident occurs, his resistance is almost zero, so in order to prevent such emergencies, he will do endurance training regularly, and it has been going on for ten years.

No one knew about this except himself, Jiang Yao and the specialized doctor.

Normal doses of narcotics were of no use to him, nor were other common drugs.Unless the ingredients are completely different, he will maintain a certain degree of sobriety for a long time, thus saving his life.

Schwartz was sure that the place where he fell was blocked and the driver could not see him. With all his strength, he tried to use his other hand to press the emergency button on the wristband, but he could not lift his hand. He could only watch helplessly as he lay there unable to move for half a minute.

The drug temporarily suppressed his central nervous system.

Schwartz raised his eyes to see clearly out of the window, but his eyesight was not as good as before. He couldn't focus anyway, and he couldn't see where he was or where he would be sent.

Which party is going to arrest him?

It's hard to be detected with a taxi as a cover. I was talking to Mel just now, and I didn't pay attention to the license plate number of this car...

If he hasn't been home for a long time, when will Mu Qingtong notice the abnormality?He should get the surveillance records from the intelligence department...

But Mu Qingtong is pregnant now, so she can't walk around...

He himself has been kidnapped now, if something happens to Mu Qingtong when he comes out...

It seemed that the car had been driven to the outskirts. Schwartz felt the car stopped. It was getting dark at this time. He collapsed weakly on the back seat and saw the car door being pulled open.

A burly man with big sunglasses appeared at the door, he was the driver.

Schwartz pretended to be unconscious, squinting to see the other person clearly.

Then the man's rough hands touched Schwartz's body, patted his trouser pockets and clothes pockets, and found a communicator and wallet.

Just as the man was about to put away the communicator, a bell rang.

Schwartz heard that it was Mu Qingtong's special prompt.

what to do...

The driver kept holding his communicator and didn't answer it until the ringing finally stopped before he put it away.

Then the driver leaned over and touched his wrist, and took off his bracelet skillfully.

What does he want to do?Schwartz collapsed on the back seat in a state of disbelief, unable to stand up and resist at all, allowing the other party to take away his tools to communicate with the outside world bit by bit.

After taking away his bracelet, the driver threw the communicator into the distance, drew two parabolas in the air and landed in the grass.

The cold wind blew into the car, making Schwartz's skin crawl, but he couldn't even shiver.

In addition to the location of the wristband and communicator, his wallet, keys, and the shoes he wears can all send emergency signals to the nearest operation team.

The problem now is to quickly regain mobility...

But to Schwartz's surprise, the driver did not close the door and drove to his new destination. Instead, he reached for his coat and began to take off his cashmere sweater.

Schwartz was completely panicked now, he didn't know what the other party was going to do, and even suspected his purpose of kidnapping him.

Is this just an ordinary criminal case?

During this period of time, the outdoor temperature was almost ten degrees below zero. Schwartz was so cold that his body became more and more stiff.But the driver continued to take off his clothes, until his last piece of underwear was also stripped off.

The driver then began to unfasten his belt and was about to pull down his pants.

The tolerance in Schwartz's body is so strong that he still retains a part of his sense of touch, which has become the source of his pain.

Endless fear surrounded him, he wanted to tremble, run away, resist...but he couldn't react.

The other party took off all the clothes he was wearing one by one and threw them on the ground, but did not make the next move. Schwartz's body was exposed to the cold air, and he already showed signs of slight frostbite.

What is the other party going to do...

The driver went to the trunk and took out a detector and hemostatic gauze from it.

After a while, Schwartz saw the driver return to the car, and used the detector to scan his body from head to tail, and when it moved to his waist, it suddenly issued a "didi" alarm sound.

Immediately, Schwartz was turned over by the driver, and he felt a very rough hand covering his waist, groping around on it, as if looking for something.

Schwartz closed his eyes, feeling more and more desperate.

After a while, the driver touched a small hard bump. Schwartz couldn't see the scene behind him, but felt his waist was cut open by the other party, and then took out the small thing inside——

A tracker implanted under the skin.

Blood gushed out, but the driver was prepared and quickly covered the gauze with the hemostatic drug on it.

Then he took the detector and scanned Schwartz's body again. After going back and forth several times, he returned to the trunk of the car after confirming that there was no tracker, and took out a set of thin clothes from it. and a thick quilt.

Schwartz closed his eyes, feeling his body suddenly covered by a thick thing, instantly blocking the severe cold.

After a while the driver closed the door and started the car again.

Schwartz's lips were bruised, and the air conditioner in the car was turned on very high. It warmed up after a while, and at this time his head was more awake.

His hunch was right.

The person who wanted to catch him was too professional, not an ordinary criminal at all.

Seven o'clock in the afternoon, apartment.

Mu Qingtong watched the sky outside the window getting darker and darker, the lights of the high-rise apartments were turned on one by one, there were more and more cars on the road, the lights became brighter and brighter, and the ground gradually became brightly lit.

Pedestrians kept coming out of the subway station, and some of them walked into their neighborhoods, either with shopping bags, or with a satchel, or with their children.

Only without Schwartz.

While waiting for Schwartz, Mu Qingtong was a little hungry. He ate the last apple at home and made some lemonade.Looking at the time, it was nearly two hours past the off-duty time, so Schwartz should be home by now.

The call Jiang Yao made to him in the afternoon made him worry that Schwartz already knew about Damian.

Mu Qingtong walked slowly in the apartment with his waist supported. After waiting for another 10 minutes, he still called Schwartz.

There was a beep on the phone that no one answered.

Mu Qingtong felt strange and called again.

But this time the prompt sound changed to shutdown.

Mu Qingtong immediately changed the number, but this time the prompt tone was exactly the same.

Schwartz's phone has always been turned on 24 hours a day, and there will never be a case of no power, which he knows very well.

Why is this happening?

Mu Qingtong realized that something was wrong, and immediately dialed the number of the network team of the Ministry of Intelligence.

"Hello, First Military Intelligence Department." The other party reported his family indifferently.

"Hello, I'm Mu Qingtong, a trainee agent from the Intelligence Department. I want to ask if Lieutenant Colonel Schwartz Black is still there now?"

"What is your serial number?"

"t281251006."

Schwartz is a C-level agent. To be on the safe side, he can't disclose his movements at will. The person who answered the phone said after checking Mu Qingtong's identity: "He left at six o'clock, may I ask what happened? "

"He hasn't come home yet, and he can't be contacted. I'm worried that something happened."

"Do you live with Lieutenant Colonel Black?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand. If there is any new situation, please contact us immediately, okay?"

"it is good."

First Military Intelligence, Mel put down the phone.

"Who is calling? Is something wrong?" An agent from the network team walked over and asked casually.

Mel shook his head and said, "It's okay, just a trainee agent called, saying that there is something wrong with his bracelet."

"This matter should be handled by the communication group?"

"Yeah, hit us here."

"Why don't newcomers know any rules now..." A colleague complained, and then said, "It's getting late, why don't you go home first?"

"No." Mel shook his head, "I'm not done yet."

"Would you like to order takeaway for you?"

"Oh, I've eaten, thank you." Mel smiled and refused, "I'll go back when I'm done."

apartment.

Mu Qingtong was half lying on the sofa looking anxious. According to the Ministry of Intelligence, Schwartz didn't know anything about Damian. Why did he lose contact?

Jiang Yao is usually in a meeting at this time, so I can't call him...

[Mu Qingtong: Xiao Hei hasn't come back since he went out at noon. I called the intelligence department and they said that Xiao Hei left at six o'clock.I couldn't reach Xiaohei on the two numbers I dialed, and I was worried that something would happen...] As he expected, Jiang Yao didn't reply to his message.

Mu Qingtong lay down for a while, and suddenly there was a slight movement in his lower abdomen, which was exactly the same as in the morning. He put his hand on it lightly, but he didn't feel any ups and downs in his palm.

Even though Mu Qingtong was delighted, he didn't have the excitement of the morning. He closed his eyes and let out a breath, stroked his stomach with his palms, put on the bluetooth headset again after the fetus calmed down, and dialed Lawson's number.

Lawson's reaction was as tense as he was, and Schwartz never lost contact, and he had several more emergency positioning systems than the average person.

After opening the positioning network system within the intelligence department, Lawson found that Schwartz did not activate the emergency call program. He followed the steps Schwartz had written to him before and remotely opened all the positioning systems, and found that all the points were concentrated in the together.

But after combining the satellite map, Lawson found that something was wrong—all the things that Schwartz could locate were on the outskirts of Yar City, and he would not appear there at this point for reason.

Lawson immediately contacted the personnel of the operation team and asked them to rush over to have a look.

Things happened one after another, Mu Qingtong suddenly felt flustered, he looked out the window, it was completely dark, the whole city was brightly lit, so bright that he could not see the stars above his head.

He sighed, walked slowly to the kitchen and made himself a glass of milk for pregnancy, and walked back to the bedroom while warming his hands.

Jiang Yao still did not reply to his message.

Mu Qingtong sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her stomach round and round, trying to calm down her nervous emotions.

Suddenly, his eyes were pitch black for an instant.

He suddenly looked out the window, and the apartment not far away was still lit——

He's out of power here!

Mu Qingtong stood up immediately, pulled open the bedside table very skillfully, took out a pistol and a magazine full of bullets from it, slapped it in with a "snap", and loaded it immediately, holding her breath and being vigilant. facing windows and doorways.

The bedroom was very quiet, and there was a scent of milk that was incompatible with the atmosphere around him.

After a while, Mu Qingtong's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he listened intently to all the noises.

Before long, the glass of his window was suddenly smashed by a pair of feet, and a heavily armed man broke in with a rope!

"Bang—" Mu Qingtong shot him!

Even though the man was extremely fast, Mu Qingtong's marksmanship was extremely precise, and he hit the man's shoulder. The man was clearly wearing bulletproof vests, but he was still pushed to the wall a few meters away by the huge momentum, slamming hard Hit it.

But to Mu Qingtong's surprise, the man did not resist, but shouted before he fired the second shot: "His Royal Highness——"

Mu Qingtong's index finger was on the trigger: "???"

"I was sent by His Royal Highness to protect you..." The man covered the place where he was hit by the bullet, his voice was obviously painful, and he handed Mu Qingtong a flashlight, "You should have seen my photo..."

Mu Qingtong cautiously took a step closer with a gun in one hand, but did not approach easily.

The man had no choice but to put the flashlight on the ground and roll over.

It was much more difficult for Mu Qingtong to squat down than before. While pointing the gun at the opponent's head, he squatted down very slowly and picked up the flashlight.

The other party did not lie. When Jiang Yao arranged guards for him, he used the royal guards. He had seen a photo of this person.
