I have five more boyfriends after amnesia

In the interrogation room, the ends of Duan Ziming's limbs are bound by gravity shackles, which is equivalent to a weight weighing 20kg falling on each of his limbs.

Duan Ziming's whole body seemed to be soaked in hot water, lying down dripping with sweat, slipping down his chin little by little, and wet the prison uniform on his chest.

The environment in the interrogation room is fairly clean, or too clean, there is not even a bench to sit on, and there are no props that can make people time, so Duan Ziming can only collapse on the cold floor, Count the time silently in your heart.

Occasionally, he can move his sore limbs, but if he moves too much, he may be judged as "intending to break free" and receive an electric shock.

The person in charge of guarding the interrogation room glanced at Duan Ziming's gritted teeth and endured, and sneered in his heart.

He only regrets that Duan Ziming was born in the wrong era. If it were hundreds of years ago, before the empire had abolished the punishments accused of being "inhuman", including letting sharp-toothed beasts to bite strong female cadres to commit//body, heavy use The material compressor crushes the hands of academic thieves who steal and embezzle other people's achievements, etc... Otherwise, he can "entertain" a joke.

Of course, now they are acting strictly in accordance with interstellar law, but it is still possible to make some small moves within the appropriate range to make Duan Ziming suffer more.

While he was distracted, a notification came from the instrument at his waist. The guard froze for a moment when he saw the person coming, and then his face showed obvious excitement.

He passed the person's passage almost immediately, and saluted him with a big military salute when he saw him.

Tang Lanting nodded slightly at the guard and said, "I need to talk to him alone."

The guard showed some embarrassment: "Your Highness, this person is very dangerous, and he may have private connections with third-party forces. It's not safe for you to be alone with him."

Tang Lanting comforted him and said, "It's okay, I won't enter the interrogation room, I'll just stand outside and talk to him."

"But there are some words... I don't want anyone else to hear." He whispered.

When Tang Lanting said this, the guard couldn't accept it. He recalled Tang Lanting's previous relationship with Duan Ziming, and a sympathetic look appeared on his face.

After a soft "click", the guard left the interrogation room. Tang Lanting stood in front of the electronic cage. He calmly watched Duan Ziming's distressed appearance for a while, and then he reached out and lifted the one-way shield on the cage.

This shield originally allowed people outside to clearly see the situation of the prisoner inside, but the prisoner could not know the situation of the outside world. Now after contacting it, Ziming suddenly felt his eyes dim.

He rolled his eyes, and was taken aback when he saw Tang Lanting standing three meters ahead, although a shocked expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Duan Ziming suddenly stood up carrying the heavy gravity shackles on his body, and threw himself in front of Tang Lanting. His action caused the alarm system to beep, and his body burst into crackling. The electric current, his hands were burned when he held the railing of the electronic cage, and there was a burnt smell.

Duan Ziming endured the severe pain in his body and hands, and fixed his eyes on Tang Lanting: "You... are you here to see my joke?"

Tang Lanting stepped back a little, and said calmly, "I've never seen you joke, Duan Ziming, it's you who made yourself a joke."

Duan Ziming may be unlucky, because of his bad background and family; but he is also lucky.

He has a smarter brain than ordinary people, and he is good at dancing. A person with ability and emotional intelligence will always have a bright day no matter where he is.

But he himself narrowed the road abruptly.

Due to his background, Tang Lanting was often taught to know how to introspect in his childhood education, and not to blindly find reasons and excuses from others. Therefore, after waking up, he also thought about whether he had done something to hurt Duan Ziming at a certain moment.

The answer is of course no.

Tang Lanting is a person who values ​​affection and has a high tolerance for friends and close people, but what Duan Ziming has done has crossed the line too much.

Hearing Tang Lanting's words, Duan Ziming's face turned pale. He seemed to have lost his last strength after being hit by these words, and finally fell to the ground with his limbs hanging down on the ground.

There was a red burn mark in his open palm, but he didn't seem to notice it.

What he did just now was more or less miserly, but when he saw Tang Lanting staring at him without any fluctuations in his eyes, Duan Ziming knew that he had completely lost him.

Just like when he tried to put Tang Lanting into the modified recuperation cabin for brainwashing, but was completely failed by Jiao Cuo.

Tang Lanting pressed his temple, but he did not ask the guards to remove the gravity shackles on Duan Ziming's body. It stands to reason that Duan Ziming has already been locked in this completely isolated electronic cage and no additional shackles are needed, but the guards What he did was not out of order.

After all, Duan Ziming was also charged with "treason" and "fornication with the enemy".

Yes, those actions are absolutely impossible to be done by Duan Ziming's ability alone. Even if Tang Lanting doesn't defend him, he is the prince and ambassador of the empire after all, surrounded by countless hidden lines to protect him.

That day... Tang Lanting proposed to Duan Ziming to break up, but Duan Ziming's attitude was unexpectedly very agitated, and he almost acted radically. After being stopped by Tang Lanting, the two broke up unhappy.

A few days later, Duan Ziming suddenly sent him a message, claiming to apologize to him for what happened at the beginning, hoping to give him a chance to make up, and not let him leave such an unbearable impression after breaking up with Tang Lanting.

Naturally, Tang Lanting did not refuse this request, or at that time he did not expect that Duan Ziming would be so bold as to cooperate with the "colonists".

Tang Lanting went to the place set by Duan Ziming, but was ambushed by a hidden pile set up by Duan Ziming's collaborators, and passed out.

Then Duan Ziming made an excuse to let Tang Lanting rest in the recuperation cabin, but the recuperation cabin was modified and tampered with.

After waking up, people from the Academy of Sciences told Tang Lanting that the modified recuperation cabin looked like a recuperation cabin, but it was actually an external life support system with a consciousness access device, and the authority was completely controlled by Duan Ziming.

The moment Tang Lanting lay down, his consciousness was forcibly detained in the virtual world created by Duan Ziming.

The so-called cheap subject system is indeed a cover for Duan Ziming, but it is not really that stupid, because if there is no Jiaocuo to stop and counter it, then Tang Lanting will be forced to go through all the procedures. Wash away the memories of the past, and become Duan Ziming's vassal ever since.

That is to say, from the moment the brainwashing is completed, Tang Lanting's previous personality will be completely destroyed, and he will become a marionette completely unable to resist Duan Ziming's will.

The people from the Academy of Sciences couldn't help clicking their tongues when they said this, and even Jude, who was angry with Tang Lanting, felt a chill down his spine.

This trick is too vicious and cruel - in this era, people's bodies can also be reorganized by molecular devices after being injured, and they are the same as the previous bodies, but the only thing that scientists can't overcome is personality difficulties.

Not only is there ethical condemnation, even the craziest and most immoral scientists have to admit after conducting experiments that the same person, even if they have experienced every major and minor event exactly the same, will eventually be finalized There will always be subtle differences in that person.

Whether this is an unknowable and irresistible variable in the experiment, or whether people really have a soul, they don't know.

But no matter how the experiment is done, the consensus now is that once the personality is destroyed, it cannot be restored, and even if it is restored, it will not be the previous personality.

This is like a question about philosophy. Even if a pool of water is disturbed for a moment and the water surface returns to calm, it is not the same lake as before.

Cooperating with the "colonists", kidnapping the crown prince, and also being suspected of destroying other people's personality, the punishment waiting for Duan Ziming is estimated to be exiled to the wild star for the rest of his life to mine manually, or wearing gravity shackles.

And according to the special additional punishment of the empire, all relatives who benefited from his actions either choose to hand over all the proceeds to compensate the victims, or they are not allowed to participate in important positions and colleges in the empire within three generations.

It's almost like you either empty your pockets to compensate others, or you don't think that future generations will have a good future for at least 500 years.

Of course, the victim can also give up part of the compensation to choose to increase the sentence of the defendant, so I won’t go into details.

Of course, Tang Lanting didn't hold out hope to see Duan Ziming crying bitterly with regret, or even if Duan Ziming kowtowed to him and apologized to him, it didn't matter to him. He just wanted to know where Duan Ziming came from with those "colonists" hitch line.

At this time, Duan Ziming lowered his head, as if he had given up on defending himself, and said indifferently: "Anyway, you've already gotten on good terms with that bitch Jiaocuo, and I know it all. The one in that virtual world is him, right? Thinking of his lingering spirit, he even followed that kind of place."

"But now he is probably trapped inside and can't come back. This is really a retribution." Duan Ziming sneered.

Tang Lanting: "Instead of gloating at other people's misfortune, you should think about yourself first. I want to know what kind of brain circuit makes you dare to cooperate with those 'colonists'?"

"Colonists" is a mysterious organization that suddenly appeared in the star sea. Hundreds of years ago, they led a large fleet to invade. Just like their name, "colonization" is the purpose of their aggression.

Their technology was weird and advanced. In the end, the Federation and the Empire were forced to put aside their prejudices and cooperate. The joint efforts of the two finally repelled them, but the "colonists" have been tirelessly trying to take advantage of the loopholes to make a comeback over the years.

Tang Lanting was not surprised that Duan Ziming would be targeted, after all, he was really eye-catching as his boyfriend before, but he didn't expect Duan Ziming to be so stupid as to trade with these invaders! ! !

When Tang Lanting heard the news, his vision went dark, and he had the urge to rush to the interrogation room to beat Duan Ziming.

According to an idiom in the ancient earth, Duan Ziming's behavior is purely seeking skin from a tiger, and frankly speaking, he is looking for death.

Duan Ziming paused, and he said coldly, "Why can't we cooperate with them? We each take what we need."

Tang Lanting's forehead was throbbing with veins: "So you really know their identities."

Duan Ziming said in a confident tone: "Anyway, I don't care about the empire or the Federation, and their prosperity will not do me any good. Why should I be loyal to them?"

Tang Lanting sneered: "Short-sighted! If there is no country, where do you think you went to school, where did you get your job? Do you think your 'surrender' will make you a master after the colonists successfully occupy it?"

Duan Ziming was irritated by Tang Lanting's attitude, and he said loudly: "And then?! You are a prince, of course you can't feel the pain of us poor people. You know that I spent 2 stars for three meals a day in order to test the academy of God Star. Coin, don’t you sleep for more than 20 hours a week?!”

His words stopped in the middle, not because he wanted to shut up, but because Tang Lanting reached out through the electronic cage and slapped him.

Tang Lanting looked at him, although he knew that Duan Ziming's ideas had irreconcilable conflicts with him when they broke up, but he never thought that this person was really like this...

"If you are dissatisfied, then you should change and change, instead of crying on the ground like a giant baby, crying that others have failed you."

"You have passed the imperial star exam, so why don't you devote yourself to politics and propose reforms? Or if you are really dissatisfied with this side, you can also go to resign for free and become a citizen of the Federation."

Duan Ziming felt the tingling sensation on his cheek, he licked his lips, and forcefully argued: "Even if I can become a politician, so what, I'm a commoner, and I don't have any power behind me, how can I fight against those who are deeply rooted? people? They crushed me like they crushed bugs..."

Tang Lanting closed his eyes, he was mentally exhausted, and he didn't want to continue with people like Duan Ziming: "...I thought that a large part of the reason why you approached me at the beginning was because you took a fancy to my prince's identity and background."

Duan Ziming was completely choked.

Yes, his motive for contacting Tang Lanting at the beginning was indeed impure, but afterwards he really developed a good impression and longing for Tang Lanting amidst the complicated emotions of jealousy and longing.

He knew that Tang Landing had been working on shortening the gap between the Emperor Star and the marginal planets, but he thought Tang Landing was extremely stupid when he praised hypocritically.

Obviously not doing what he can gather with his paintings, but let all that money flow out!

Duan Ziming will not see the effects of Tang Lanting's actions. He keeps saying that he hates the superiority and discrimination of the Emperor Star people towards the marginal planets. In fact, he himself is the guy with the most class concept in his head.

Just like now, he also subconsciously despises those "uncivilized" civilians who were born on marginal planets like him.

"Before I leave, I have a question to ask you." Tang Lanting said.

According to Duan Ziming's reaction, he knew that he didn't need to talk about the other party's colonists who contacted him. Obviously, Duan Ziming had become an abandoned child, as can be seen from the weird fire in the virtual world. The colonists have given up continuing to bet on Duan Ziming.

Tang Lanting speculated that they originally wanted to cause Duan Ziming to brainwash himself, and then manipulate Tang Lanting's behavior by controlling Duan Ziming.

Tang Lanting's reputation and reputation in the interstellar world are very high. If they manipulate Tang Lanting to make some anti-human speeches in public, or provoke the relationship between the Empire and the Federation... the consequences will be disastrous.

But Tang Lanting stayed in the brainwashing device for too long.

Even if the time flow in the device is different from the outside world, Duan Ziming is too slow.

Therefore, the colonists probably gave up the original plan of burying the long line and chose another plan.

——They want to kill Tang Lanting, and then frame it as the hands of the federal forces.

After waking up, Tang Lanting immediately reported the matter, and he guessed the colonists' intentions, and it turned out that Tang Lanting's guess was correct.

Because their people later caught many people who began to spread some inflammatory and misleading remarks on the star network, and with the help of the Academy of Sciences, they obtained evidence of the colonists' framing.

It's a pity that the colonists who contacted Duan Ziming behind the scenes were too cautious. They hid too deeply. Regardless of whether the plan to kill Tang Lanting was successful or not, they immediately withdrew from the Emperor Star.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, trying to hunt them down is like finding a needle in a haystack.

And if Duan Ziming really has their handles in his hands, with his character, he must have been eager to confess in exchange for a reduced sentence for himself.

It's just that Tang Lanting really wants to know one thing——

"You know, if your brainwashing device is successful, then I will never be me again."

Duan Ziming's eyes flickered.

Tang Lanting let out a breath from his throat: "Okay, I already know your answer, so goodbye."

"No, I probably won't see you again." After all, Tang Lanting didn't have the habit of going to Desolate Star to watch people dig by hand.

He turned around, and when he was about to turn on the single-sided shielding system again, he suddenly heard Duan Ziming shout: "Wait a minute! I also have a question for you...!"

Tang Lanting turned sideways slightly, waiting for Duan Ziming to speak.

He saw the man struggling to prop up his upper body, and the gravity shackles on his hands were emitting a faint light.

"Did you... like me?"

Tang Lanting: "..."

The last question, just ask this?

He also couldn't figure out Duan Ziming's brain circuit. He would hurt someone for a while and put on an affectionate face for a while. Who did he want to show?

Maybe it was for him to impress himself.

Duan Ziming didn't get an answer, and his expression suddenly became ferocious, as if he thought of something he couldn't accept: "You don't like that bastard Jiao Cuo, do you?! He's just a dirt dog..."

Tang Lanting's eyes sank, and then the shackles on Duan Ziming's neck made a soft sound, and Ziming was like a duck whose neck was pinched, unable to speak anymore.

Tang Lanting looked at Duan Ziming, and said seriously: "Jiao Cuo is several times better than you in both ability and character, you are not worthy of insulting him."

Duan Ziming reached out to grab the shackles around his neck, wanted to speak, but he could only open his mouth out of thin air, like a funny mime actor.

Tang Lanting reached into his pocket, and his fingers touched a round hard object. Not only did he think of something, he showed a calm smile.

Duan Ziming's movements stopped, because he saw a touch of joy and longing on Tang Lanting's face, with a hint of worry.

Naturally, this kind of emotion can't be towards him. They all know who it is towards.

Tang Lanting thought that if it wasn't for Duan Ziming's deceit, he wouldn't have missed Jiao Cuo for so long, and a faint sigh filled his heart.

But after all, time cannot be turned back. All he can do is to bring Jiaocuo back intact, so that there will be no regrets in the future.

Returning to the virtual world again is imminent.

"The ban will be lifted in about 10 minutes, you can do it yourself." Tang Lanting left this sentence and walked outside.

Behind him was Duan Ziming's fingers stretched out in vain, but in the end nothing remained in his palm, only the burn marks from the electric railing.

The man stared blankly at the door, then suddenly curled up, lying on the ground, covering his eyes with his arms.

After that, whether it is regretful words or unwilling curses, only he can taste them, and these will accompany his back half until death.
