Part 1: The Establishment of the Free Heart Chapter 25: The Starship (Part II)
Command Hall.
Looking at Mike's pale face on the screen, Renault asked, "What do you know?" ”
Mike swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "Renault, come out and surrender immediately, I promise you, we will not hurt you." ”
"That's not the answer I wanted." Renault shook his head: "I'll only give you three chances, you've wasted one, now I'll ask a second time, if you don't understand my question, I can ask it more clearly...... Why did you arrest me? ”
The old man in black shook his head: "Don't try to threaten me, I won't eat this set." Renault, you can't do anything to me. ”
"I'm putting my finger on a button, and when I press it, the elevator's brake will jump open, and then the big tin can will fall in free fall, and I think you know what that means." Renault's voice was already cold: "Now, ask for the third time, why did you arrest me?" ”
The old man in black stared at the camera.
After a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing: "You don't dare to kill me." ”
"The answer is incorrect." Renault sighed and tapped his fingers on the keys.
The elevator shook with a bang, and then slammed downward.
"No!" The two men in black let out a loud scream together.
Seeing that the elevator was about to fall to the bottom, a sharp and piercing grinding sound sounded. The elevator gradually came to a halt with an unpleasant braking sound, and the elevator building number showed a minus 5th floor, which means that they were close to the ground floor.
But before the elevator doors opened, the elevator was slowly going up again.
Reynolds' voice rang out again: "Mike...... Your name is Mike, right? Congratulations on winning the bet once, I'm not a person who kills easily, and at the last moment I hesitated and relented. However, as a soldier, there is no doubt that this kind of behavior lacks guts and courage. So I'm going to make up for this mistake. Luckily, we had the chance to do it again...... Or even more than once. ”
"No, no!" Mills's feet were already softened by the free fall just now: "Don't come again, Mike, tell him, tell him the truth, you damn bastard, if we continue like this, we will scare ourselves to death if we don't fall to death, my heart is about to jump out!" ”
Old Mike replied with a blushing face, "Okay, I said." Renault, I know you wonder why the secret police would suddenly come and arrest you, but honestly it's not against you alone. ”
"I know, for all the survivors of the entire Abrodys." Renault replied.
"So you already know this, and as for why, it's simple, something went wrong with the people on the Abrody."
"What's the problem?"
"I don't know exactly what happened, but I've heard that there seems to be something strange happening to the people on this ship."
"Strange phenomenon?" Renault was shocked: "What phenomenon?" ”
"Then I'll have to ask you, Renault." Old Michael replied, "Have you noticed something wrong with you lately?" ”
A strange light suddenly appeared in Renault's eyes: "What do you know?" ”
Old Mike shook his head: "I don't know anything. Renault. All I know is that events never exist in isolation, and that many things may seem unrelated on the surface, but in reality they are very complex. They are cause and effect and influence each other. If you want to know better, then you should go to someone with more power. ”
"Who is the most powerful? That mustache? Who is he? What is it called? ”
"His name is Nate Brad, and he's the deputy chief of the Secret Police's General Directorate of Earth."
"It is a great honor for a deputy director to personally lead a team to arrest me."
"I've told you everything I can tell you, and if I say something I shouldn't have said, I may not be able to wait for the retirement I was looking forward to. But Renault, before you want to do anything, I want you to understand that all of you here are just doing what you are told. ”
Old Michael sat down as he spoke, looking resigned to his fate.
Renault was silent.
It took him a while before he said, "I've always understood this, so you can live." Don't worry, old Mike, you'll be in peace until you retire. ”
Old Michael froze, and finally understood what Renault meant, and he nodded: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, stay in the elevator honestly, don't come out." Renault pressed a button as he spoke, and the elevator began to sink downward.
Clarice next to her was a little confused.
She looked at Renault: "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”
"Nothing." Renault replied lightly: "It's just that what I thought was secret, it seems that it has never been a secret, and some people may have discovered my problem earlier than me." ”
Clarice became more and more puzzled when she heard this, but fortunately, she also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this, so she could only ask, "Then what should we do next?" ”
"What's next?" Renaud smiled: "Of course I will continue to arrest the leader, Old Mac still knows too little, I need more information." ”
As he spoke, his fingers pressed down on one of the keys.
Starship Voyager.
Bearded Chief Brad is still looking around.
At this moment, the hotel suddenly stirred.
The huge shaking made everyone unstable, and some people fell directly without standing firmly.
The sudden tremor sent everyone in a panic.
"What the hell is going on?" Someone shouted.
There was still no answer, but people found themselves in a space that began to tilt.
"Oh my gosh, it's flipping on its side!" The frightened shouts of a man in black reached everyone's ears through the terminal. He was on the edge of the hotel, and from the window he could clearly see that the view was becoming level with him.
"Renault!" Brad finally reacted: "It's Jonny Renault, he did it." He's in control of the damn starship, he's on the conning tower! ”
"Doesn't that mean this place has been transformed? Why hasn't the control function of the conning tower been dismantled? A man in black couldn't help but scream.
"I've heard that these damn businessmen bought off the inspector in order to maximize the starship's original appearance and functionality, and now it seems to be true. As long as there is money, many obstacles can be bypassed. The man in black with the money of the executive director of the Gal Group replied leisurely.
"Those damn corrupt officials!" All the secret police shouted at the same time, and there had never been a moment when they hated corruption so much.
Bearded Brad said: "Less nonsense, now everyone goes to the conning tower!" ”
"Understood!" Even before they could speak, the secret police were running in the direction of the conning tower.
But just after running a few steps, I heard a female voice sound:
"Warning, warning, the starship's self-destruct device is activated, this ship will explode in ten minutes, please go to the escape pod immediately!"
What the?
Hearing this, the entire crowd at the Voyage Hotel immediately exploded.
Everyone panicked and ran around.
They didn't know where the escape pod was, but it had been converted into a hotel, so it had its own parking lot, and everyone ran towards the parking lot, and everyone panicked.
The secret police were also stupid.
They don't know what to do, whether to move forward or backward.
In the face of such a thing as self-explosion, no one can feel at ease.
Brad still had some courage, and he shouted: "Don't believe him, this is a lie from Renault, this starship has been refitted, and it is impossible to keep any weapon systems!" ”
These words made everyone feel a lot more at ease.
"But sir, it's possible that Renault brought his own weapons on board, right?" A man in black said suddenly.
Brad was immediately stunned.
Yes, he couldn't guarantee that it didn't exist.
"And the inspector was bought, wasn't he?" A man in black made up for it.
No one is sure that the Palme d'Or will have some crazy guy secretly keeping a hand, and the warning of self-detonation is nine out of ten false, but as long as there is a slight possibility of truth, it is enough for everyone to hesitate, be afraid, and stop moving.
Someone has already started to move in the direction of the escape pod or the airport.
Only Brad remained firm: "No, I don't believe it!" ”
He walked in the direction of the conning tower.
Just a few steps away, I heard a bang, and the hatch in front of me suddenly closed.
"Open the hatch!" Brad turned back and ordered the trench coat man behind him.
One of the two trench coat men stepped out and walked to the hatch, took off his sunglasses, and two red rays of light shot out of his eyes.
It turned out that the trench coat man was actually a robot.
The face of the robot appeared on the big screen in the command center, and Renault's face sank suddenly: "TX series 35 lurker robot, damn it, didn't this series of robots be discontinued a long time ago?" ”
In response, the laser in the eyes of the lurker robot landed on the hatch, and the alloy door began to melt little by little. The light drew an inaccurate circle on the door, and the lurker punched at the center of the circle.
With a loud bang, a large piece of alloy steel flew up.
An incubator had pierced through the hole.
Brad was about to catch up when the ship suddenly shook and rolled again.
This time, though, it's no longer on its side, it's upright.
The Voyager made a sixty-degree bow rise, and Brad, who was caught off guard, only felt that his feet were empty, and he had fallen downward, and the long walkway suddenly turned into a bottomless abyss.
"No!" Brad shouted.
At that moment, another lurker who had not yet entered rushed out in time, and with a raging flame under his feet, flew straight downward, catching up with the mustache before it fell to the bottom, grabbing him with a hand, if not Brad would have broken his leg if not to his death.
Narrowly escaping death, Brad breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take me up, Two, go and meet One." ”
Before the lurker could move, a rumbling sound was heard, and one hatch after another began to close.
"No, Renault, you goddamn bastard!" Brad watched as the hatch fell, scolding angrily.
Then Brad felt a jolt under his feet, and the starship had flipped back from its upright, followed by another rollover, flipping Brad out of the other direction. The hatch that had been closed suddenly opened, and after Brad passed by, it fell with a bang, and in this way, Brad was completely disoriented in the repeated jolting, and he no longer knew where he was.
Doing this, Renault took off the aggressor's optical brain and walked out the door.
"Where are you going?" Clarice hurried to follow.
"Go meet our chief."
