lyra sleepless

It was an empty room, and a young boy stood in the middle of the room. He looked very agitated, but he didn't move.

He is trapped here, and the nano-scale metal wire is woven into a Faraday cage. If he tries to tear this cage, the external voltage of up to [-] volts will instantly smash him into powder.

He could only growl, howl, and curse, and when his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't shout anymore, he collapsed on the ground exhaustedly, panting like a wounded beast.

At this time, a voice sounded, surrounding the entire room, and it seemed that the owner of the voice was everywhere.The voice was beautiful, but indifferent and casual: "Can the interrogation begin?"

The boy didn't answer, his eyes were like a desert traveler who sees spring water, radiating the light of hope, but his expression was full of pain and struggle.

The agent beside Yegor replied respectfully: "According to your instructions, during the month of escort, he was held in solitary confinement, and he didn't see anyone every day. His nerves were on the verge of collapse."

Yegor smiled when he heard this, but did not continue to ask questions.

The boy finally wailed: "Come on, talk to me, anything is fine, please!"

The voice was slow: "I ask questions, you answer, you have no right to refuse, otherwise I will terminate immediately."

The boy frantically replied: "Okay, okay!"

"what's your name?"

"My name is Wu Luo."

A silence answered him.

When the boy became agitated again, the voice repeated patiently: "What's your name?" He never said a word more.

"Wu Luo." The boy still resisted.

The voice disappeared again, and this time he was silent for half an hour, an hour, the boy didn't know, it felt like a century had passed, and it drove him mad.

"Umo, I'm Umo!" He closed his eyes, putting all consequences behind him, and responded instinctively.

That voice full of hatred and gratitude, like a fisherman's bait, finally appeared again, and it was the next cold question.

The boy finally began to know everything.

"Who came with you?"

"My sister Uya."

"Your identities."

"The eldest prince and eldest princess of Eko." He was completely numb to his own words.

"How did you escape the Big Bang?"

"The court teacher just took us to the border for fun."

"Is this just a coincidence?"

"No," the boy froze for a moment, "I don't know if it's a coincidence."

"Is your court teacher still alive?"

"He has died of illness."

"Did of illness?"

"I do not know."

The voice paused in displeasure, as if annoyed at how much he didn't know, until the boy's nerves tensed completely.

"Did he mention the Echo Kingdom to you before he was alive?"

The boy seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and he talked a lot, but there was no useful information at all.

Yegor frowned: "Did he mention the big bang?"

"Yes," Umo said without thinking, "We want revenge."

Yegor's questions couldn't be longer and longer, the boy had begun to calm down, and his sanity began to return.

If faced with a completely normal person, Yegor could ask more skillfully, but he didn't have much time, so he had to rush back to the Consulate during normal working hours, otherwise You Jing would become suspicious.

He finally asked bluntly: "In Lyra, has the court teacher contacted anyone?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then said in a daze, "No."

Yegor paused, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "I can give you a chance to ask questions, for example, where is your sister now."

Umo's face suddenly turned gray.

"Let me answer you honestly, she is in an electronic cage just like you at the moment. From the next minute, every 1 seconds, an experimenter will enter the cage and peel off a muscle from her until you also honestly Open your mouth. Of course, I guarantee that she will be sane during this process, and Lyra's advanced medical technology can make her watch herself being turned into a skeleton."

Yegor took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "Wuya worked in a fast food restaurant for a living before? Then she should know what the cut chicken looks like. It's pale and soft. She can feel the human flesh by herself. Is it the same as chicken?"

The boy cursed: "You are beasts!"

Yegor paused for a moment, sneered, and said, "It's all about each other. Didn't the Echo Kingdom do this when they attacked the Republic's army?"

Umo argued feebly: "Uya is innocent!"

"Everyone is innocent, I will judge here." Yegor said coldly.

A projection appeared above the room. A girl with disheveled hair was curled up in the center of the room. An experimenter in a protective suit approached her with a cold sharp knife.

At the moment when the knife opened the girl's wrist without hesitation, Umo finally shouted: "Stop! I say! I say!"

The picture jumped and disappeared immediately, and Umo said: "You treat her first!"

Yegor's response: "Next time I'll let them start on Uya's cheek."

Umo gave in.

His voice sounded mechanically in the room.

Yegor knew it was a success.

When his interrogation was finally over, and it was only 20 minutes before he went to work, Yegor frowned, thinking about how to get to the Consulate before You Jing's usual wake-up time, and casually said to the agent: "Let's deal with it."

The other party was about to nod his head in salute, but suddenly froze.

You Jing's bright but unable to hide his angry words came: "What are you going to get rid of?"

His people then appeared in front of the main control room, as if thousands of lights were gathered there, and the consul looked particularly imposing in this small room.

Just as Yegor was about to turn off the monitor calmly, You Jing had already come to him, holding his wrist.

"Governing..."

"Shut up." You Jing directly stopped his unspoken excuses.

The agent bowed his head aside, not daring to move at all.

Without looking at the monitor at all, You Jing knew what they were doing.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Squeeze out the words of these two brothers and sisters?"

Yegor pursed his lips and remained silent.

You Jingqi smiled: "I'll discuss this with you later. What are you going to do now? Kill people? It seems that the power of the secretary-general does not include this item. I don't remember that the Consulate paid you as an executioner?"

The agent opened his mouth to defend the officer: "Your Excellency, you may not know much about the work of our Secret Service..."

"It's not for you to speak here." You Jing said coldly, he turned to Yegor, and said, "I'm not interested in knowing how the secret service works. But I'm curious that the laws of the Republic impose penalties on institutions other than courts." power? If you don’t know, I’ll call He Minxing now and ask about it.”

Yegor's face changed in horror: "You Jing, don't mess around!"

The government has its own secrets, and everyone knows that this is the dark side of society that is completely parallel to the well-organized world under the rule of law. Another story.

Especially when You Jing brought out He Minxing, the cold-faced Hades.

You Jingping said peacefully: "I'm not fooling around. Also, it's not in accordance with etiquette to call the consul by his name in a government institution now."

He looked around the room, dragged Yegor to a certain wall, and simply said, "Open the door."

It turned out that the main control room was directly connected to the cage.

Yegor was speechless, he opened the door, and at the same time unexpectedly, the other hand secretly touched his waist.

The moment before he got the gun, You Jing had already removed his wrist.

He didn't get angry, but in Yegor's eyes, as a lover, a superior, a confused little fool, You Jing has never been so scary.

There was an invisible look in his eyes, as if lightning strikes and storms were brewing in the thick clouds.

"Yegor," You Jing called his name, and asked, "Is human life so worthless?"

Yegor still tried to explain: "They have a special status. They are descendants of the royal family of the Eko Kingdom. I don't know how much trouble they will cause."

He didn't mention the biggest trouble, the matter of his secret interrogation today will reach Helian Ding soon as expected.If the twin brothers and sisters died, with the testimony obtained by Yegor, he was still sure to catch the Helian family.But as long as the twins are alive, Helianding will definitely catch them and interrogate them clearly. No matter what truth Yegor has, Helianding will wipe out all traces before he has solid evidence.

Yegor couldn't take that risk.As he once said to You Jing, the real crisis of Lyra has never been the resistance organization and low-level immigrants, the fire and thorns are only under the feet.

Only at Helian's.

He couldn't tell You Jing, he could only stare blankly at his face, that face that hadn't experienced too many things in the world, and still kept a precious and pure face in a high position, at this moment facing him with an expression of scrutiny that he had never seen before. Yegor asked softly, "So, can they be sacrificed?"

Yegor gritted his teeth, braced himself, met Yu Jing's dark eyes, and said firmly, "For the sake of the Republic, I can sacrifice everything."

You Jing's voice was still very clear, like the crisp knocking of a gavel, he said clearly: "Yegor, you will go to hell."

Yegor closed his eyes and smiled: "Is the consul going to heaven? Heaven is too cold, I won't accompany you."

He pulled his other hand out of You Jing's grasp, awkwardly took off his gun with his left hand, and opened the safety with one hand. Just when he was about to aim, You Jing suddenly spoke.

"Before I came, I contacted He Minxing."

Yegor looked at him in shock, unable to believe it.

"I asked him that the Secret Service had caught two prisoners with special identities and asked if the Grand Court could take over. He said that he didn't know the specific situation and couldn't make a judgment, but he agreed to come and see."

"It's almost here now, after all, the Grand Court is not very far from the Secret Service." You Jing smiled.

Dejectedly, Yegor threw the gun to the ground, and said with a light chuckle, "Consul, if the boy inside knows your surname You, he would rather die than rush up and tear you apart. This is the reputation left by You Bushu." , and when I finally started to investigate the truth of the big bang, the person who stopped me turned out to be You Bushu's son."

"There are many ways to investigate, you don't need to kill people." You Jing said steadily.

"No, you don't understand." Yegor replied blankly.

He waved his hand and said, "I'm going back to work. If the consul is interested, stay and wait for the judge."

Looking at his back, You Jing suddenly asked: "If what you captured was not the prince of Eko, but the blood of the empire, what would you do?"

Yegor didn't answer him, he paused, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

He Minxing arrived late.

Before that, the agent accompanying Yegor had been trained by You Jing to the point of obedience.

He knows too many secrets that he should not know today, not only the old affairs of the previous dynasty, but even the personal relationship between the consul and the secretary-general. He has worked as a secret agent all his life, and the casual way of getting along with people He could tell, not to mention that You Jing and Yegor were somewhat out of their minds today.

When He Minxing arrived, You Jing was the only one sitting in the main control room with his back to him.

He Minxing coughed lightly, You Jing turned around, showed a helpless smile, and asked, "Do you mind?"

He had an e-cigarette in his mouth.

He Minxing said, "I didn't know you smoked."

You Jing shook his head, he didn't smoke, this one was from Yegor.

I don't know what is good about cigarettes, but today he watched Yegor walk away without looking back, so he couldn't help picking up the cigarette that was left behind.

"Where are people?" He Minxing asked.

"It's inside." You Jing tilted his head to signal, his sharp face in the blue smoke did not appear to be as bright and upright as usual, but instead had a faint charm.

He Minxing was taken aback for a moment, and said: "I have no right to interrogate them." The justice only has the right to question in court, but obviously not now.

You Jing exhaled a smoke ring: "I don't need an interrogation, just find a secret place for them to protect. The identity is sensitive, and it's not appropriate to put it anywhere."

He Minxing thought for a while: "When the Grand Court deals with some injuries involving minors, they will re-fabricate their identities. This set of procedures is very complete, absolutely confidential and 100% safe."

"Success, let's do it this way." You Jing stood up, his attitude towards this matter was to deal with it as soon as possible, he didn't want to face it anymore, "I owe you a favor."

He Minxing joked: "If you say that again, I won't do it." His expression became serious, "Just to defend the law, I know you must have had conflicts with some members of the Consulate because of the orphans of the Eko Kingdom , I respect your just decision. These two children are not wrong, but there are many people who are eyeing their crimes. They are innocent at this moment, and they may become the most amazing criminals in Lyra in the next second. Let them go Freedom requires not only courage and judgment. Without sufficient execution power, this is likely to become a stupid thing with a bad ending, and I am willing to do my best to avoid such a result."

You Jing remained silent.

He Minxing made him angry, he was not doing it for fairness and justice.Human life is of course extremely precious to him, an earthling who has never seen bloody violence since he was a child, and he also knows the necessity of the legal bottom line.But he also understands that in the political turmoil, there are twists and turns, and the gray zone between justice and evil also has its necessity for the compromise of shady means.

He stopped it only because of selfishness and emotion.

When Yegor told him categorically that because the twins belonged to the royal family of Eko, they were destined to become victims of the Republic, he almost wanted to reveal the identity of the contestants, and then capriciously asked the secretary-general if he was also To put him to death?

The thing hurts its kind, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. He is not redeeming the orphans of the Eko Kingdom, but just trying to escape a monster that is hidden in the future, a prediction that he and Yegor will eventually confront each other. .

Yegor loves him, but Yegor loves the Republic more.You Jing has no doubt that if Yegor learns the identity of this body, Yegor will not hesitate to kill Qi Jing, the heir to the empire who is the most unstable factor in the Republic, and then miss his unknown lover on earth with pain and sorrow for the rest of his life.

You Jing is not a timid person, but he fears this day from the bottom of his heart.

He Minxing regarded his silence as thinking, he patted You Jing's shoulder in relief and said, "Is it difficult for you in the Consulate?"

You Jing came back to his senses: "Well, it's okay." He said absent-mindedly.

"Your personality must not be compatible with Yegor. This person is cold and paranoid. I guess he claims to be the guardian of Lyra, but in our opinion, there is only one guardian, and that is the Code of the Republic." He Minxing revealed a self-righteous guess. The truth smiled, "However, his days in the Consulate are numbered. The nobles know that Helian Ding has hinted in social situations that they will get married within a year. After marriage, Yegor will no longer hold government positions. .”
