Dawn Sleep

Time back to more than four hours ago.

The scuffle in Aslan Star City was still going on, the Starship Palm was hovering above the evening clouds, and His Royal Highness personally sent Colonel Jiang down the gangway.

They stopped halfway, and Lean stopped the person beside him and asked him how to fight the Yuyu fleet battle next.

Jiang Jianming put on his military cap helplessly, and sighed: "Your Highness, after all, you were once one of the highest commanders of the First Fortress, right?"

"In name." Ryan said, "I don't manage much, and I haven't commanded the fleet...give me some advice."

Jiang Jianming smiled wryly, wondering if he had ever commanded a fleet?

He is just an ordinary disabled human military academy student. His Royal Highness Chu Jun put on such a virtuous and capable attitude to discuss the war situation with him, something is really wrong.

But now is not the time to refute this, Jiang Jianming thought for a while, and said: "Then let me talk about my personal thoughts, which may be more subjective. You can look at the reference."

"Although the Crystal Cult is dangerous, it shouldn't be a large-scale organization with a complicated internal structure. I guess there are not many people in their senior management."

"The ambush in the distant stars last time, the New Year's Rebellion, and the attack on the empire this time are all very important strategic actions for the Crystal Cult. It is a bold assumption that these actions are carried out by a limited number of high-level officials, and may even be run by the same person."

Jiang Jianming's eyes were calm, and he spoke without haste, with a reassuring force in his tone.

"If so, I can roughly deduce the opponent's tactical style."

Ryan looked at him deeply, listened carefully, and motioned him to continue with his eyes.

Jiang Jianming: "This person has a sinister mind, and he should be very good at careful planning. He likes to take into account the right time, place and people, and seal off the opponent's retreat one by one, laying a net."

"But this kind of plan, because the layout is too dense, it will affect the whole body, but it is not easy to turn around. Once the tight net is broken and jumped out of the opponent's plan, the opponent will not be able to remedy it in time .”

Ryan understood, and whispered: "You want to say that our opponent is good at planning, but not good at adapting."

Jiang Jianming smiled at him gently, nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise."

"It's just that now I'm keeping the enemy in the dark, so the next two key points in the decisive victory are 'seeing the game' and 'breaking the game'. As long as we can find a breakthrough that exceeds the enemy's expectations, we will win."

They walked again, and the aircraft had already stopped on the taxiway in front of them.

"...You have to go to the enemy's lair." At this moment, Ryan's expression turned ugly, and he said sullenly, "Can't you stay and help me?"

Jiang Jianming shook his head and gently held Ryan's wrist, "Your Highness, you will definitely win."

At that time, the red sunset was hanging in front of the two of them.The crown prince could see from the look of the disabled in front of him that he had made up his mind.

I just didn't expect to be kissed afterwards.

The touch on the lips is so soft, and it is a little cruel when it is pulled away.

Now, the crown prince is sitting alone in the mecha, casually playing with the wrist machine left by his lover with his fingers.

On the opposite side was the communication projection of Old Marshal Chen. Ryan pondered for a long time before speaking: "Call me another team of small starships, at least [-] ships, equipped with the most lethal guns and high-attack mechs."

Old Marshal Chen stared and shouted: "Your Highness, you are embarrassing the old man. How can we spare another army now!"

Ryan: "That's your problem, teacher. It's impossible for such a big empire to squeeze out hundreds of starships, hurry up."

Old Marshal Chen: "What does Your Highness want to use this team for?"

"Be a one-hit assassin," the crown prince stood up, his expression as cold as iron. "Since you still can't see the enemy's layout clearly, then use Celine's large army as a bait to make the enemy move."

Another praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The so-called soldiers are deceitful, and those who play with truth and falsehood are called battlefields.Now even the big troops think that His Highness is "going away in anger", that's just right.

These are all... tricks he learned from that cunning, vicious cripple.

Ryan suddenly lowered his eyelashes, and when he thought of Jiang Jianming, his heart felt a twinge of pain and panic for no reason.

Old Marshal: "Your Highness?"

Ryan's expression became gloomy, and he clasped his wrist tightly with his palm, and said in a hoarse voice, "...I'm worried about him."

Jiang Jianming's current status is special. If the Crystal Sect kills him rashly, it will be a waste of resources.

So Jiang Jianming insisted that his life would not be in danger, even if there were variables, he had other ways.

but……

His Highness's emerald eyes dimmed, but his life was not in danger.

According to the thinking of normal people, the kidnappers would not intentionally torture the hostages before actually threatening them.However, those shocking conversations from the monitor refreshed his cognition, and the Crystal Cult is very likely to be a bunch of anti-human lunatics.

Not life-threatening, but what if some other bad luck happened?

The other end of this universe.

Inside the starship, there was a faint smell of blood.

Su's face was ice-cold, and he slowly withdrew his hand.Where his finger was pulled away, the sharp real crystal pierced through the soft chest of the disabled human being alive.

"cough……!"

Jiang Jianming trembled violently, and almost instantly, the blood foam that choked into the throat overflowed the corners of his lips.

Beside, Lauren frowned.But obviously, Su's actions were approved by the archbishop, so he didn't speak either.

Boom!

Jiang Jianming shook for a while, one knee hit the ground first.

But at this time, the severe pain had completely gone through all the nerves in his body, and he was completely unable to maintain his balance, and then he fell obliquely and fell heavily on the cold floor.

Su Ju looked at him condescendingly, slowly raised his right foot, and stepped on the sharp object that pierced the chest of the disabled human: "Are you here to join us?"

Jiang Jianming's painful eyes were loose and cold sweat broke out, and he breathed carefully with his blood-stained lips, but he couldn't say a word.

Pain... He was lying on the cold ground, his teeth creaked and trembled, and the real crystal penetrated into his body. For disabled humans, this was not just the pain of the trauma itself.

"No." Su shook his head.

As he spoke, he bent down and held the tip of Zhenjing, "Your eyes tell me that you are not the one who will accept the ultimate arrival."

"But you came here, so you must be mentally prepared."

The next moment, Su clenched the sharp thorn tightly, and roughly pulled it out from Jiang Jianming's chest, blood spattered immediately!

"Ugh...!"

Jiang Jianming was forced to dilate his eyes in pain, and his upper body tensed up.

He was pulled forward by this force, and then fell to the ground again, his five fingers clenched tightly on the shirt in front of his chest, and blood gushed out from there.

"Chaos." Su looked back at Lauren, "Go get the beam therapy device and the tranquilizer, and get a few sober injections. After that, it's none of your business here."

He turned to Jiang Jianming, with no emotion in his eyes, "Don't doubt, I have no other intentions, I just want to torture you to death next."

"Unfortunately, the Crystal Sect doesn't care about your life."

Before starting, Su deliberately turned off the lights.

There was a viscous sound in the darkness, it was the sound of human flesh and blood being ripped out and stirred.

The crystal bone turned into a shape full of spikes, pierced down towards the victim's abdomen, and then lifted up, sometimes twisting deeply half a circle, or a circle.

For a long time, only this chilling sound continued.

For disabled human beings, crystal bones are the most terrifying instrument of torture in the world.

When the crystal bone that wantonly scatter the violent crystal particles approached, the severe pain went deep into the soul.

In the darkness where he could not see his fingers, Jiang Jianming could only bear with his back arched, his breathing became disordered at first, and after less than a minute of suffering, small groans began to leak from his blood-drenched lips and teeth.

But the actions of inserting and pulling out the crystal bones only became more violent, each time bringing up a lot of splashing blood, and after a few minutes, the broken bones were also picked out.

Until a certain moment, the tortured person finally broke down and screamed almost horribly.

In the darkness, the blue veins on the struggling white wrist bulged, and was soon splashed with blood one after another.

Outside the bridge, the disciples of the Crystal Cult walked about as usual expressionlessly.Even though the screams continued, no one even stopped and turned around.

The abuse lasted for more than two hours, which was more than 100 minutes, but Jiang Jianming lost the concept of time halfway through.

Even passing out is an extravagant hope.

When the pain is so severe that the shock has passed, a more intense pain stimulus is used to wake the person up;

The beam therapy device would quickly seal the wound, and he even received a blood transfusion halfway through, and then continued to be tortured; the limit of sedatives prescribed by the empire was a maximum of three injections at a time, and Jiang Jianming was given five or six injections, maybe more.

He was brutally dosed with too many drugs, and the side effects were so severe that he almost vomited his stomach out.

When he vomited until he couldn't even spit out acidic water, the disabled human beings seemed to have completely lost their minds.His eyes were unfocused, his chapped lips opened and closed, and he murmured nonsense that no one could understand clearly.

"It looks like it."

Su sneered in the dark, and glanced at the vital signs data: "Don't worry, it's still early."

More than two hours of torture started in the dark and ended in the dark.

There was no sound for the last ten minutes.Not even the faintest struggle or whimper, just a dead silence.

Su turned around and turned on the light.

The light flickered, re-illuminating the starship.

The handicapped human fell to the ground with his eyes closed, blood dripping unconsciously from the tip of his lips, and he was already unconscious.

Under the torture, several hideous wounds on Jiang Jianming's body were all bloody.Su stretched out his hand to brush away his jet-black hair, that cheek that was drenched in cold sweat was as pale as snow, and even more so with a decayed and dead air.

The sobriety needle is no longer valid.

Now, no amount of painful stimulation could wake him up.

Su looked back at Gaius, and the archbishop nodded.

So Su bent over, stretched out his arm, and grabbed Jiang Jianming's throat.

Jiang Jianming was manipulated like an unthreaded doll, his expression showed suffocated pain, his pale lips trembled, his Adam's apple wriggled up and down, and he instinctively wanted to breathe but couldn't.

The handsome face soon turned purple, a mournful moan sounded from the throat, and the body twitched slightly.

However, even if his life gate was controlled like this, he still couldn't open his eyes, as if he didn't even have the strength left to wake up from the coma.

Su shook his head, and finally let go of his hand.

Jiang Jianming fell back to the floor feebly.The suddenly unblocked throat brought rain-like air, he coughed violently, his body thrashed as he was dying, more blood gushed out, it was extremely scary to watch.

"His Excellency the Archbishop."

Su was silent for a few seconds before he came to a conclusion: "He really doesn't have any ability to resist. I can kill him at any second."

The man paused, then bowed his head and said, "In that case, maybe it's more valuable to keep his life, as Chaos said."

Gaius remained calm from beginning to end: "Well, let's do this."

"but……"

Su hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered coldly, and he put his hands on his chest: "I still insist on my opinion, Your Excellency the Archbishop. Chaos is good at manipulating people's hearts. What he saw was the successful control of a 'light of disabled humanity', 'empire The benefits brought by the "Crown Princess"; and I played with the situation, and what I saw was Jiang Jianming's talent in tactics and strategy, as well as his willpower...he is terrible."

"Take the torture just now as an example," Su whispered, "Ordinary crippled human beings are under my crystal bones, let alone persist for two hours, and if they persist for twenty to ten minutes, their sanity will collapse; if it lasts for one hour, the pain will Sudden death is not surprising; but he has survived until now."

"Now he has not really taken over the military power, but the empire has begun to pay attention to this person. Once the tiger is released, the hidden dangers in the future..."

"Do you think," Gaius turned around suddenly with a calm face, "does he possibly be Dawn Aslan?"

"!" Su paused abruptly, with a hint of fright on his face, he turned his head abruptly.

His eyes fell on the disabled human being fainted on the ground again, with a different and complicated meaning.

"We have already assumed that 'Garcia' and 'Lyan' are both the substrate of the Great Emperor, and the former appeared almost at the same time as the latter died. What does this mean?"

Gaius narrowed his eyes slowly, turned around and looked at the starry sky outside the starship.

Su lowered his head abruptly, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead: "Yes, this means that the Great Emperor carried out a second spiritual consciousness projection immediately after the death of the first substrate."

He swallowed, and his voice tightened: "This is almost... unimaginable... Not only is it technically difficult to realize, but it also requires the projector himself to have a mental strength that is far more than a hundred times that of ordinary people to bear it."

Gaius: "Commander Aslan died young on the surface, but what if Black Shark base kept his body and secretly carried out consciousness projection?"

"This Colonel Jiang, whether it is talent or heart, is not like ordinary people, we can doubt it a little bit."

"And you just said that this person has terrible willpower."

Gaius turned around, and the white cloth gown fluttered accordingly.He pursed his lips into a half-smile, and said quietly, "If Aslan can also perform a second consciousness projection, killing Jiang Jianming...it won't help."

Su realized instantly, and continued: "——it's better to use this person's current status as much as possible, isn't it, Your Excellency the Archbishop?"

Gaius bent the corners of his eyes and lips, making an expression of admiration and affirmation.

"Very well, then, I will give you another task."

Su lowered his head deeply again, he knew His Excellency the archbishop would not feel any joy, the reason why he smiled was just to take care of a mortal like him who couldn't get rid of his emotions and desires.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

He closed his eyes and said reverently, "For...for our ultimate."
