The Star Knight

The hatch was slowly raised, and there was a bright light outside. Opal couldn't look directly at the side of his head. Holding his identity card and mercenary diary in both hands, he walked off the landing platform side by side with Raymond.

The mercenary diaries were confiscated, and there were battle robots aiming at them all around. Two men in military uniforms came up to search them. Opal secretly estimated the chances of the hostages trying to escape. Raymond narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"We are mercenaries of the Ares Galaxy." Raymond said.

"Don't be so fucking talkative!" The little guy pressed Raymond's head, and roughly punched his head against the wall, making a muffled sound.

"Stop it!" Opal was furious.

"Let me read the mercenary diary." The woman's elegant voice came.

After a brief silence, the voice of the man behind said: "Either kill both of them together, or don't kill them, or if you kill one, the other will definitely come back to take revenge."

Someone laughed and said, "One E-rank and one D-rank mercenary, how do you think they can take revenge?"

The woman's voice said: "Keep one tied up and give it to Azeroth for some money. Give the other one to me. The one with a higher level has never used mercenaries."

Several people laughed.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the three people who seemed to be the leaders all left, and someone behind them ordered: "Turn around."

Opal and Raymond turned around. They couldn't even see each other before. Two robots came to scan their whole bodies with metal detectors, starting from the feet and moving upwards slowly. The rays penetrated their bodies, and in the light A complete human silhouette is formed on the screen.

Opal thought quickly, what is the background of these people?soldier?Imperial Army or Republic Army?This is very important. Only by knowing their identities can we deduce the intention of this mothership to stop near the black hole force field.

According to the clothes of the minions around me, they don't look like soldiers... By the way, none of them have official military epaulettes.

Instead, there is a mark indicating the rank, motley crew?

The ray scanned the throat, and Opal and Raymond swallowed almost simultaneously, swallowing the communication earbuds in their mouths.

This process was very fast, and the earbuds entered the stomach in less than a second, without causing the alarm of the metal scanner.

"Take off your clothes." The inspector ordered again.

Raymond and Opal began to take off their clothes, and the minions said: "Take off! Hurry up!"

Opal's face was flushed, and he felt very ashamed, but Raymond took it off unambiguously. After a while, the two of them were completely naked, standing barefoot on the cold steel floor.

The flash light was on, and the robot took pictures of them and kept them on file. Opal thought, what a fucking embarrassment, would you take the nude photos for ransom?Don't tie him and Raymond naked and hang them in the streets at the gate of Sunshine City...

"Go." Xiaoluo said.

Six robots with guns escorted Opal and Raymond into the corridor next door. They went in naked like this. After passing through the corridor, they were given two sets of thin prison uniforms. Opal said, "At least give me a pair of underwear."

Minion: "..."

Opal had to wear thin trousers and a shirt, without shoes, and was escorted away.

"Call, call, take the tall man to Area 6." An order mixed with radio noise sounded from the communicator: "The other one is locked in the laser corridor."

About to separate, Opal and Lei Meng turned their heads in a tacit understanding and looked at each other. Opal's eyebrows moved: it means, look at me.

Raymond frowned slightly: Calm down, don't mess around.

With a clear look in their eyes, the two were escorted away separately.

Getting on, getting off, and standing on the maglev elevator, Opal glanced wildly. The passage here is too complicated. Fortunately, there is a map on the wall.There is a map every time you walk a certain distance, Opal dare not turn his head to look, his eyes try to move left and right.Take a few seconds at a time to piece together a fleeting impression of the map.

The mothership is divided into six areas, the central control room is red, the fringe living area is blue, the arsenal, the material warehouse... The green area is the No. 6 experimental area, and Opal immediately sensed something was wrong.

What did Raymond take there for?Use him as an experiment?We must hurry up and find out, Opal is almost certain now that the accident of the Spark Express Company is related to this mothership, and the Queen Ant is probably also captured.

Experimental area No. 6... What kind of experiment are they going to do?Experiment with queen ants?

I took Opal into a place full of laser beams. There was only one long empty corridor with hundreds of cells separated by laser beams. I handed Opal to a guard and said, "I just caught you!" living."

"Will anyone be able to break in at this time?" The guard was a young man, which was a bit strange.

"It's said to be a mercenary." Xiao Luo replied.

After a brief conversation, the young man pressed his fingerprints to signal Opal to go into the cell, pressed it again, and the laser beam shot out, blocking the cell.

Xiao Luo left, and Opal was locked up like this.

This place is not easy to escape, Opal turned around and looked at the narrow cell - no vents, a fully open prison.

There is a drinking fountain and toilet in the corner.

Surrounded by criss-crossing lasers that are five centimeters wide and in the shape of a grid, if they hit hard, they will be cut into pieces.

There are cameras at the top of the corridor.

Where is the jailer?

Opal looked towards the front of the corridor in the cell, and did not need the jailer's ID card to turn off the laser, so the method of using the power of faith to steal the verification card could be saved.

Fingerprint switch laser cell... The power of faith can't just chop off his finger.As soon as the finger is dropped, the person will definitely find out, so the scene of a severed finger wriggling and running all over the ground will immediately arouse alarm.

Mind control?Say a few words with him when passing by, hypnotize him?

Opal's current consciousness control technique can only terminate a certain intention of the other party at most, just like letting Xun accept one hundred, but mistakenly thinking that he received three thousand.

However, to forcefully control the behavior of the enemy, directly give birth to the idea of ​​the jailer, and then let him put this idea into practice, Opal is not yet sure.

Consciousness control comes directly from the power of belief. If you don’t believe that you can do it, the power of belief will not be able to provide perfect results... It’s really a headache, Opal is almost fainted by himself.

I don't know if Xun's request for help has arrived. I hope someone with a higher level will come. I don't expect to have the strength of the Sunshine Twins. At least don't come with a bunch of cannon fodder. The danger here is simply too troublesome.

Raymond didn't know what was going on, and the jailer didn't come down. When will he come to patrol?Opal thought about it and decided to contact Raymond first.

He turned to face the sink, opened the drinking water and took a sip, turned his back to the external communicator, and stabbed his slender middle fingers into his throat, thinking of the scene of black ants eating insects, and vomited, feeling the hard diaphragm While holding his throat, Opal tightened his throat again, and successfully held the earbuds he had swallowed in his mouth.

Drink water, rinse your mouth, and pass cold drinking water down your throat to remove the burning discomfort.The cameras in the hallway couldn't see what he was doing.Opal hugged his knees, sat on the bed thoughtfully, moved his tongue, bit his earbuds with his canine teeth, and said vaguely, "Raymond."

The principle of the ear button is to vibrate through the sound wave signal, which is transmitted to the eardrum through the ear cartilage, instead of making a sound directly, so the sound can also be heard when biting between the canine teeth and transmitting vibration through the teeth and upper and lower jaws.

Raymond didn't answer, and there was a faint gurgling sound over there.

Opal listened to the voice in Raymond's stomach for a while, while looking at the entire prison.In the farthest corner there seemed to be a motionless person lying there, not sure if he was dead or not.

There is another...

"You." The person opposite said.

Opal was startled and almost swallowed the earbuds again.

It was a thin and gloomy boy, that guy didn't wear anything, his six-pack abs were more beautiful than Opal's, and his slender figure was like a cheetah full of strength and explosiveness.

"Are you a mercenary?" the man said.

Opal pressed his earbuds under his tongue, and said to him, "What about you? How did you get caught?"

The man was about the same height as Opal, with a scar on the brow bone, thin cheeks, fierce eyes, very young.

The man said, "I'll ask a question, and you answer a question."

Opal said: "Why? Everyone asks a question. My name is Opal, what's your name?"

The boy narrowed his eyes to look at Opal, and Opal also looked at his body-building naked body indifferently.The other party had slender hands and feet, long fingers, and a sickly pale feeling.

"Aurora Falcon." The boy said.

Opal nodded, and the boy said, "How did you get caught here? Are you here to investigate the bombing?"

Opal said: "Yes, what do you know?"

He noticed that this boy named Aurora Falcon didn't even have a cloth covering his body, so he might be a very dangerous person.Are you afraid that he will hide something in his clothes? How powerful is this guy?

Aurora Falcon said indifferently: "I'll exchange a piece of information with you. Two of the people on the spaceship are still alive. One is in the prison over there, and the other was taken to Area 6 for experiments."

Opal asked: "What's the name of the person who was taken away?"

Aurora Falcon said, "Heath Cid."

Opal: "..."

Finally found.

Opal frowned and said, "Why do you know this?"

Aurora Falcon didn't answer, but asked instead: "Does Azeroth know about your mission?"

Opal: "Do you know him? Before I left, I asked him something, but he didn't have time to see me."

Aurora Falcon replied: "Who else knew that you broke into Covey's territory?"

Opal: "Who is Covey? Is this mothership his?"

Aurora Falcon said coldly: "Rookie, he is an interstellar pirate. Why are the mercenaries so poor now?"

Opal's heart was overwhelmed, it turned out that this was the territory of pirates!

"I have a companion..." Opal said, "I sent out a distress signal before I came."

Aurora Falcon said: "How many pirates did you kill?"

Opal frowned and said, "No, what's wrong?"

"Listen." Aurora Falcon said: "You have no enmity with them, and Covey will not kill you. He doesn't want to mess with Azeroth, and will send you back to the God of War galaxy after a while."

"You are a mercenary." Aurora Falcon said indifferently: "Now I issue you a commission. After you go out, bring a word to the Milky Way γ galaxy, chant the black eagle on the planet..."

Opal: "Sorry, I'm still a rookie, and the union doesn't allow me to accept the employer's tasks in private, and I will be fined to lose my fortune and lose three ranks..."

Aurora Falcon: "..."

"Don't turn around, how much does it cost?" Aurora Falcon said.

A robot's voice came from far in the corridor, and Opal was silent, but Aurora Falcon seemed to know what was going to happen next, and said coldly: "As long as you can afford it, I can afford it."

Opal thought for a while and replied: "80 billion, I want to buy a spaceship that can jump."

Aurora Falcon: "..."

Obviously, Aurora Falcon can't afford it.

Opal spread out his beliefs and probed the Aurora Falcon's thinking. It was blank and he couldn't get anything. This person is a strong man.

Aurora Falcon said: "When I leave here, you will be the first to kill."

"Cut—!" Opal said, "It was you who asked me to make the price, so there's no need to show off if you don't have money."

The two looked at each other across the prison, Opal licked his lips like a prodigal son, turned his earbuckles out, bit his canines, and smiled ambiguously at the Aurora Falcon, the silver light on the canines flashed instantly passed away.

Opal's eyebrows moved, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Aurora Falcon's eyes are very sharp, and he knows what he wants to do at a glance. He looked at him sympathetically and said, "Don't think about it, your companion is probably finished."

Opal narrowed his eyes and his heart stopped.

The guards came down, and ten robots surrounded the cage of the Aurora Falcon. Four of them first protruded the rotating drill bit from the mechanical body, penetrated into the laser cage, and ejected the handcuffs and shackles. The Aurora Falcon did not resist. up, like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

A neck ring was fixed on his neck, and he raised his head arrogantly, his eyes looked very cold, his abdominal muscles were well-defined, and he had a sense of beauty before execution.

Opal saw it hard, and a beast-like impulse surged in his heart.

Will the Aurora Falcon die if he is escorted away?Probably not, just now he asked himself to bring a message, Opal figured out what he meant, Black Eagle?It seems to have heard it somewhere.He thought hard, but couldn't recall.

Business matters.

"Raymond." Opal bit his ear button with his canine teeth: "Did you hear that?"

Raymond's voice came out: "I threw up several times today..."

Opal said vaguely: "You get used to it when you spit it out. The No. 6 area you are in is for experiments."

Raymond's voice: "The laboratory is ahead, and it may take a while before it's my turn."

Opal told how he found the Aurora Falcon in his cell, and Raymond couldn't remember the name Black Eagle, and both of them had a feeling of deja vu, Opal said: "I have to find a way to get out of here. "

"I don't have a laser in my cell. I'll find a way to find an energy supply system later. The laser tubes are all controlled by energy pipelines..."

Raymond's voice stopped abruptly, and the signal on the communicator was cut off. Someone pushed a two-meter-long ellipsoidal container over, and several robots escorted him out.

"Take off your clothes." A staff member said, "Go in."

Raymond had no choice but to take off his clothes and stand naked in a nutrition cabin.

The robot pushed the nutrition cabin into the laboratory. Raymond squinted his eyes, looked up at the pipeline above his head, and whispered, "They want to pick me up."

"Who wants to pick on you?" Opal's voice said: "Male or female? Oh, I remembered, just now someone said 'I haven't used mercenaries'..."

Raymond: "..."

Raymond noticed the machine connected to the liquid tube, and said vaguely, "I was soaked in anesthetic."

Opal's voice changed: "Are you in no danger, Raymond?"

Raymond's voice was not loud, but calm and steady: "It can be solved, trust me, comrade."

The nutrient solution mixed with anesthetic was injected into the tube, and Lei Meng raised his hand and patted the nutrition cabin a few times—still motionless.He kicked hard, and the robots surrounded him. The researcher talked in a low voice and watched Raymond in the nutrition cabin.

The nutrient solution was flooded, and Lei Meng closed his eyes, struggled and weakened, fell asleep in the nutrient solution, lowered his head, and floated up.

The data on the light screen connected to his nutrition cabin changed. After a long time, the researchers turned off the lights and left the laboratory.

After a long time, Opal said: "Raymond, say something!"

Raymond opened his eyes, looked around through the anesthetic solution, his chest rose and fell slightly, and a turbid low voice reached Opal's ears.

Raymond: "I'm going to stay here for a while to see what they want to do. There are still many experimental subjects around."

Opal: "What about me?"

Raymond: "I will come to rescue you after I leave, you can rest for a while."

Opal felt a little sleepy after hearing this, he rubbed the space between his brows, leaned against the bed and began to think, whispered: "Can you hear me?"

"Well." Raymond's voice was very weak: "But it's not convenient for me to speak. What do you want to say? Say it."

Opal said: "Then listen to me, Sid's father is not dead yet, he should also be in District 6."

Raymond: "I think I saw him."

Opal: "You have to get him out when you go."

Raymond: "Well, did someone hit you?"

Opal: "No, who am I? Who dares to hit me?"

Lei Meng groaned again, Opal said: "I don't know what happened to E7..."

Raymond didn't speak anymore, the communicator was very quiet, Opal talked to himself for a while, and then said: "Raymond?"

Raymond replied vaguely, "Well."

Opal: "Are you okay?"

Raymond's voice: "No."

Opal was very tired, and gradually fell asleep. I don't know how long he had slept. There was a sound in the corridor, and the Aurora Falcon was pushed back.His naked body was torn apart, and there were marks of whiplash all over his body.

Opal: "..."

The robot pushed the Aurora Falcon back into the laser cage, the light beam was sealed, and the shackles were released. The medical machine came over and emitted rays at him, and the Aurora Falcon's bruised skin slowly healed.His legs were still shaking uncontrollably, and the heels of his legs were covered with bright red blood.Struggling to climb to the edge of the sink, drank a few sips of water, lay down on the bed, and did not move.

"What did they do to you?" Opal asked in a deep voice after the robot left.

"It's nothing." Aurora Falcon replied, "It's just raped me a few times."

Opal: "..."

"Hey, are you okay?" Opal said.

Aurora Falcon ignored him.

At the same time, in the hangar.

Dark Ages - A little red light lit up in the cabin of VI.

"Beep beep beep" E7 moved sideways little by little, finally turned its position from the crack of the console, and fell down with a clang.

The E7 spun around on the spot, with its tracks sticking to the ground, climbed onto the navigation platform, inserted the data stick into the navigation system and rotated left and right, the rear hatch hummed open a crack.

E7 left the spaceship, the red light flashed in the dark hangar, and a patrol robot came across, and the light of E7 went out immediately.The robot walks over, E7 moves along the corner of the wall, leaves the tarmac, the magnetic track climbs up against the wall, four small pliers remove the control button next to the elevator, and roughly poke the data rod in, sparks crackle.

"Beep beep-"

The holographic projector on E7's head projects a three-dimensional mothership model, and countless light spots flash in each channel.

The three-dimensional grid lines slowly rotate, zoom in, and zoom in again. After zooming in a dozen times, in the laser corridor, the light spot where the opal is located flickers.

E7 came down against the wall, disregarded the disassembled elevator buttons, walked around the corridor, and headed towards Opal's location at high speed.
