heavy fog

Just when the crocodile Vasago jumped to the Red Sail Galaxy, on the border of the Beluga Galaxy, a mineral star in the Republic of New Molvia, a skinny old man suddenly looked up.

The dark cell smelled bad and had no lights.

In the distance came the sound of military boots of the guards walking, as well as groans and cursing.

The skinny old man stood up quietly, looked down at his palm, and showed a smile uglier than crying.The people who lived in the same cell saw him acting abnormally, and approached him quietly suspiciously.

"What's wrong with this old guy?"

"Who knows, sneaky... very weird! This time, we must report to the supervisor, maybe they are planning to sabotage, and we can leave here if we make up for it!"

"That's right."

The skinny old man squatted back to the corner as if he hadn't heard.

This place is the most sheltered from the wind, and it is relatively dry. An old man with the same wrinkled face is lying there, as if unable to speak, with complicated eyes, intertwined with doubt and hatred.

The skinny old man who was stared at by him grinned silently again.

The morning bell rang through the cell, each door was opened one by one under the control of the computer, and the guards with whips and laser guns shouted impatiently.

The prisoners came out one by one and gathered in the corridor.

There are five-meter-high walls on all sides, and the walls are covered with sharp iron nails, and there are also electric grids, making it impossible for people to approach.The guard stood on the wall holding a laser gun, staring coldly at the prisoners below.

"Shang Gong, you scumbags! The No. [-] mine has been hollowed out, so go open a new mine! After digging here... the Red Spider Nebula and more, cheer for the war, scumbags!" The warden appeared on the big screen above the wall with his legs crossed. While drinking the "wine" mixed with nutritional supplements and taste pills, he spread two pieces of bread with precious butter.

Many prisoners who looked up quietly drooled.

"I heard that in the Deep Blue Kingdom, every time the capital is under martial law, tourists can get this kind of government rationed breakfast. In the words of the Holy Glory Empire, it is really a life like heaven! God's blessing!"

As the warden spoke, he exaggeratedly drew a crooked cross on the table.

The prisoners in the last dozen or so cells showed angry eyes of humiliation. As soon as they roared, the shackles on their bodies were electrified, and the damage was not too great, just enough to knock them down to the ground trembling.

"The physical fitness of the Shenghui Empire is good! We ordinary people are probably going to foam at the mouth." The warden smiled mockingly while gnawing on the bread, "Be sober, you are prisoners of war now, understand? Prisoners of war are not believers of gods! If you want to get food, dig mines for me, go back to the cell and pray whatever you want, as long as your god is willing to save you, hahaha!"

"God will punish you. After death, everything will be judged." A prisoner of war with firm belief muttered in a low voice.

The prisoners involuntarily divided into two piles.

The only ones left with him were the prisoners who had just been escorted in and stubborn people like him.

Transforming the mine star into a prison, the decision of the military department of the capital of New Morvia.

95 years ago, Molvia fell, the capital of the old era was destroyed, and thousands of warships and troops, including the head of state at that time, were martyred. Molvia became a transit point for the Holy Radiance Empire to fight against the Moby Dick galaxy.

It is said that Morvia hides a secret military base in the barren star field. There is a force that refuses to surrender in desperation, avoiding the hunt and capture of the Holy Empire, looking for those who are not willing to become slaves in the conquered area, and rise up to resist.

With the expansion of the general battle between the White Whale galaxy and the Holy Empire, the Holy Empire was repulsed, and the two sides continued to confront and exchange fire at the border of the Red Spider Nebula and the Unicorn galaxy, and the Moulians took the opportunity to conquer the lost ground.Although a part of the land was occupied by other countries in the Moby Dick galaxy, the new leader of Morvia decided to shelve this issue and expand the new land to the Red Spider Nebula. In the past few decades, the entire country All of them have been built into huge bases for supplying frontline wars.

Technology develops rapidly.

It is conceivable that even if the future war ends, Molvia will rely on the military industry developed during the war to become a giant in the Beluga Galaxy.The nations that now occupy the former territories of Molvia are said to be too worried to sleep.

The Morvians, who had been subjugated, refused to exchange prisoners with the Holy Glory Empire.

They proposed it first, and got the support of the Deep Blue Kingdom, directly driving these prisoners of war to mine and smelt in the Red Spider Nebula, and never release them.

This mine star is one of the prisons, where not only the prisoners of the Holy Radiance Empire were imprisoned, but also those who betrayed the country and surrendered when Morvia fell. The release and prisoners of war are distributed according to the strength of the prison, and this is the most common level.

Those spiritually powerful priests of the Holy See and officers of the Holy Empire will not be sent here.

The structure of Mine Star is very simple. The prisoner’s activity area is never in contact with the place where the guards walk. The daily compressed food pills are hung from mid-air with baskets. The fresh water is made of several crude Mine Star standard drinking water filters. Release or carry away the corpses are all using artificial mechanical cranes.

No matter how strong a person's mental abilities are, they can only control the electronic lock of the prison door at most.

"The older the technology, the more useful it is to deal with these bastards." The warden ate his breakfast triumphantly.

He still doesn't forget the basic daily work, playing the news from the light wave communication to the prisoners.

"Moby Dick Galaxy Express, it is reported that Princess Daiqi of the Holy Empire secretly visited the Deep Blue Star. The sudden return of the Dark Blue Kingdom's Isila VI to the Deep Blue Star may have something to do with it."

The prisoners who were bombarded with various negative news every day all looked up with different expressions.

"Shameless, this is fake!" Someone shouted.

This time there was no punishment, because even the guards were secretly nodding. Yes, this is too ridiculous. They know the three views of the people of the Holy Hui Empire very well. It is not surprising that peace negotiations appear in any country, only Shenghui The empire is like a fantasy.Not to mention that the princess of the enemy country is visiting in person, even the most good at imagining sex, it is difficult to think of the direction of marriage.

Nothing else, the female prisoners of the Holy Radiance Empire were locked in another planetary prison with a smelter. According to the guards, all of them were very dull and boring, and they couldn’t dress up even if they were given a mirror. The clothes they wore were natural. Just like being a prisoner in prison.

You don't even have to think about what a princess from this kind of country looks like.

"...In order to welcome Princess Daiqi, a banquet was held in the main hall of the Deep Blue Star Palace. It is said that Prime Minister Cyrus, who has not appeared in public for 30 years, also attended, breaking the previous rumors that the ruling party cabinet of the Dark Blue Kingdom secretly changed powers."

The skinny old man stood in the corner with his arms folded. The person beside him was trembling desperately, with anger and deep hatred in his eyes.

Several prisoners in the same cell rushed to the front, apparently preparing to report them to the guards at the checkpoint when they entered the mining area.

But when they quickened their pace, their minds became dizzy and their eyes became blank. Then they followed the crowd, passed the checkpoint without any changes, and received the mining tools.

The skinny old man walked crookedly at the end. He supported the old man, looking very pitiful.

The guard at the checkpoint frowned and gave them two baskets.

The elderly and sick prisoners can do some light work.

The skinny old man bent down, and the mental wave clearly transmitted to the mind of the person he supported: "Dear Bishop Jiabo, we will leave here soon."

--who are you?

The old man questioned clearly with angry and resentful eyes.

"Don't be like this, be happy, respected bishop." The skinny old man smiled dryly. He carried the basket on his back, looking as if he could forcefully suppress all the opponent's actions, "When the Holy Empire's army retreated from Morvia , the reinforcements did not come, and the Holy See Temple and the Judgment Hall pushed each other, which made you unable to maintain the battle situation, and eventually failed and was captured. According to the handling of prisoners of war by the Deep Blue Kingdom and Morvia, they will directly kill a big man like you. "

The old man stared at him coldly, not appreciative at all.

"Don't be like this. For so many years, I have taken you to pretend to be a traitorous Moorvian and hide in this place. I am helping you do the daily work. Although the food is a bit poor, I heard that the basic life of the Holy Radiance Empire The level is just like this. People who believe in gods don’t care about the enjoyment of food, and all material desires are weapons used by the devil to lure human beings to sink. I don’t think you have any discomfort living here.”

The old man didn't speak, his hatred faded away, and his eyes turned complicated again.

The skinny old man slowly led him to the mining area: "It's been decades, and your lord bishop should also know that I'm not here to spy on secrets, nor do I want to control people who trick you into treason. Loyal, suspicious of this war, why are you still so indifferent to me?"

The old man looked at him and said silently: You are a devil.

"Ok?"

They stopped at the bend of the mine, the old man couldn't speak, he could only speak slowly, word by word in the lingua franca of the Beluga Galaxy: You are not human at all, you can't hide it from me.

The wrinkled, skinny old man chuckled.

The basket on his back suddenly twisted and jumped down, and the other basket in his hand seemed to come alive. One of the two ghosts ran to the front and squatted to guard, and the other hid behind the stone wall and looked at the end of the passage, as if they were waiting for someone. They keep watch.

The skinny old man's face also gradually changed, and it can be clearly seen that it is actually just a puppet, or the kind of cute toy puppet with rough handwork, buttons as eyes, and a head like a sunflower.

In a blink of an eye, the mental wave shook again, and he returned to his old and scumbag appearance.

"What the eyes see is an illusion. This is the comprehension from the dream. The illusion created by the spiritual power is the most realistic. Hehe, dear Bishop Jiabo, when it comes to the essence of power, I am the same as a believer in God. How can you Are you saying I'm a demon?"

The old man closed his eyes: your behavior has exposed your thoughts.

"Don't you believe in God? My respected bishop, please tell me, does God allow people who don't believe in him to exist? I am willing to go to hell for disrespecting him, but where is hell? Does it really exist?"

The old man did not speak.

For decades, he has been held hostage or cared for in this way for decades.

A bishop of the Holy Radiance Empire, not one of the best in the Unicorn Galaxy, but he is also a high-ranking bishop. He follows Archbishop Siburton, but he is not a close confidant.

In the first contact battle between the White Whale galaxy and the Holy Empire, he was left behind in the occupied area of ​​Morvia. It turned out that he did not deserve his share in the battle, but he was lucky enough to save his life.

After being hijacked here, Bishop Giabo was suspicious, tried to save himself, ignored this strange "thing" around him, and tried it later.

Maybe he couldn't listen to anything the other party said at first, but the long time has changed all of this.

Bishop Jiabo knew that he only had the title of bishop to be considered valuable. He was already a dead man in the Holy Glory Empire. What was the other party doing with him tirelessly for decades?This sacrifice has far exceeded the value of what he owns, Bishop Jiabo thought for a long time but couldn't understand.

"Dear bishop! The first sentence you said to me was that we are in misfortune, because the devil has occupied our souls, and if we don't repent, we will not be able to touch the truth." The puppet wobbled, But Bishop Jiabo still looked blank.

"There are no gods, no demons, and no hell in this world."

The puppet's voice gradually changed, its height shrank, and its wrinkled face became a child's appearance: "Even if there is...that's us."

"You...you..." Bishop Jiabo didn't know why he could make a sound, and he stood up tremblingly.

He did remember that child, the child he was planning to bring back to the Holy Glory Empire as his heir to the Holy See.Very talented, but it was a pity that he was seen by Archbishop Siburton and brought them to the battlefield together.

This regret is deeply hidden in his heart, in the dark cell, and occasionally he will sigh for it.

"Beagle, are you not dead?" The old bishop was so trembling that he couldn't even speak.

The child was still in a daze, and he stretched out his hand: "Aren't you willing to leave with me, Bishop?"

"you--"

"I didn't wait for God, but I really saw the truth and the world." Beagle said slowly, with a smile on his face, "My friend is back, and everything is coming to an end! I believe the war is the same, why? Don’t choose to discard everything before, Bishop, it’s just that I will take you out this time.”

The author has something to say: Now you know why the Second Elder has been missing for N years...

Or the twisted "repayment" of the second elder (...whether it counts as repayment is really a question mark)

Although the Holy Glory Empire has occupied Morvia, the child Beagle is a black household on the mine star [Hey] living with no future and no hope, all changes are still at the beginning, and the bishop who took him away is really good to him, of course Well, the Holy Glory Empire is indeed the invaders, and the bishop is also one of them.So the second elder's way of repaying his favor was distorted like this.
