After having a legal identity, Russell Hill let it go and put all his energy into handling the case.

He began interviewing the Abrodi soldiers one by one.

"You ask me about the recorder? Yes, the conference room did have recorders, but they were all damaged by the current shock during the battle...... Where did it go? Thrown, of course. Where's the throw...... A resource recovery pod, of course...... I don't think you'll be able to find a recorder there that hasn't been thrown into the recovery pod and that happens to be able to be reconstructed from the past...... Well, you can go if you want, and I won't stop you, I just think you're wasting your time. ”

"My name is Chennaid, a member of the mech team, yes, I was around there at the time of the conference room incident, and I was with Xwell...... No, I didn't see it, I just watched Captain Jeram come out of it and shoot at us, his eyes were hideous...... It was that blood-red color, and I never thought that a person's eyes could be so horrible. ”

"You ask me if anyone survived? Yes, yes, probably seven or eight people survived...... Afterward? All dead, except for Renault...... We were all injured in such a bad environment...... Yes, Renault was also injured, he was the only one who survived. ”

"I was a member of the original Skybull, and I was in charge of keeping the target zero at the time...... Yes, Renault took the Zero target from me, and it was in a large box...... The box is large, about two meters high...... No, I didn't know it was a holy relic at the time...... It's so tightly locked that you can't see anything......"

"Yes, I'm in charge of picking up Captain Renault, and I'm pretty sure no one was near the box, no one was doing anything to it, and we didn't know what it was, so we knew it was a ball of light...... Yes, a ball of light...... I don't know? Because the box is broken. ”

"Because the box is broken......"

Sitting on the bed, Russell Hill listened to this sentence repeatedly, falling into deep thought.

After a while, he connected to the terminal and asked for full-range communication, and Claire's face appeared on the screen, and he said, "Miss Jia, I have a few questions for you. ”

"I'm in the medical pod."

"No, no, just a few simple questions, I'll just ask them here."

"Okay then, you can say it."

"You've got all the information about Edward's Hospital and the Tianhe 4 Research Base, I would like to ask if there is any energy impact test in the federal government's experiments on the relics?"

After thinking for a moment, Claire replied, "Yes, I remember conducting more than a thousand bombardment tests, including pulsed wave tests, high-energy particle flow tests, laser shocks, and other energy shock tests. Do you think Captain Jerram's affair has anything to do with this? ”

"Captain Reynolds was carrying the relics back to the Abrodius when he was under heavy attack. From what information I've got, at least one of these attacks resulted in the destruction of the chest containing the relic. From your expert's point of view, do you think it is possible that this will cause the leakage of the relic's energy? Is it possible that this will affect the sanity of Captain Jeram and the others? ”

Claire replied, "First, I'm not a reliquarian, I'm a starship pilot and a field medical officer. Second, it is indeed possible to cause the leakage of holy relics, but the currently known leakage of holy relics is to kill humans and transform humans, but not to make people rebel. ”

"A change in the heart can also be regarded as a transformation to some extent."

"Actually, after learning about the holy relics, Renaud and I also had such an inference. However, in the research materials, we do not find any cases in which the relics alter the human mind. And if Captain Jeram and other officers were affected by the leak of the relics, then why weren't Renault and the others affected? ”

"You're right, so I want to talk to Renault."

"No problem, Renault said, you can see him anytime during the jump."

"Only during the jump?"

"He's the leader of the free heart, he's busy. So you'd better take your chances, and preferably complete the survey before the jump ends. ”

“…… I know. ”

————————

Half an hour later, in a café in the lounge cabin.

Renaud sat in front of Hill and sipped his coffee slowly: "This is the first time you have sat in front of me, and it makes me feel less annoying." ”

"It seems that my previous hot pursuit has left a deep psychological shadow on you." Hill laughed, "Well, Captain Reynolds, if I asked you to do my best to recall for me what happened on the day of the meeting, and what you can think of, it wouldn't be considered offensive, and I would have your full cooperation, wouldn't it?" ”

Renaud nodded: "Actually, I was waiting for you to ask me about this for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so patient until now to come to me." Where do you want to start? ”

"Let's start with the box breaking. Do you remember that memory? ”

"Of course. That's when I'm about to get back to the Abrody......"

A glimmer of memory appeared on Renault's face, and the scene of the once fierce battle was already in front of him.

Piloting the Silverwinged Angel, he flew through the fire of the gods, and the pillars of light of the energy cannon shone everywhere. The energy radiation of the relics is like a bonfire in the dark night, attracting all the gods and the Yak Worm to attack. Even then, his piloting skills were already excellent, and it was difficult to dodge so many attacks. One energy cannon after another exploded on him, and the massive shockwave energy nearly tore him apart. The energy oscillation fed back by the system made Renault, which mainly operates with the array control system, feel unbearable.

Despite this, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Abrodi, with no other thought in his heart but one - to complete the task.

It was at that time that a Protoss energy cannon hit.

The twelve centimeter energy diameter hit the Silverwinger's wide mecha energy shield, and it actually pierced through the energy armor, and then a strong flash of light almost blinded Renault's eyes.

"What kind of attack is that? High-energy particle streams? Or is it ionic shock? Hill asked.

"Beta Ray Cannon."

Hill frowned: "As far as I know, the impact energy of the beta ray cannon does not emit high-intensity flashes. ”

"Yes, the ray cannon pierced the energy shield, and the spilled energy traveled along the mecha's body, and then this bright light appeared."

"You're saying the light wasn't caused by the ray cannon?"

"I mean, I don't know how it came about."

"Go on."

"I entered the cabin shortly after that, and I came out of the mech with a terrible pain all over my body."

"It hurts terribly?"

"Yes, it hurts terribly."

"What causes the pain? Wounded? ”

Renaud thought for a while and shook his head: "No, I'm not hurt, but it just hurts." ”

"Are you sure you feel a lot of pain? What kind of pain is it? ”

Renault was caught up in his memory, and he thought for a while before he said, "I remembered when you asked." It was a strange feeling. It comes from every part of your body, as if every part of your body has been hurt and you can't find the injured place, but it doesn't last long before it's over. ”

"How long?"

"About ten seconds after I came out."

"What did you do after you came out of the mech?"

Renault shrugged: "I picked up the box and walked to the conference room, where Captain Jerram was waiting for me. ”

Ciel's face turned serious: "You're alone? ”

"Yes."

"But I heard that the box is very big, how did you pick it up alone?"

"The box wasn't that big at first." Renault replied, "I carried the suitcase to the conference room, where Captain Jeram and the others were already waiting for me. He was happy at first when he saw the box, but he became nervous when he saw that the box had a hole. He said Target Zero couldn't be exposed, so ......"

"So how?" Hill asked hurriedly.

Renault fell into the memory.

His voice became low, his gaze gradually deepened, and the whole person seemed to travel back in time to that long memory. "So he decided to move Target Zero to another big box," he muttered. He said that the contents could not be seen by others, so he had to do it alone. Then ......"

Renault seems to be stuck in a mental block, and his memories become difficult.

"And then he took it to the side hall?" Hill couldn't help but ask.

Renault perked up, and he exclaimed, "Yes, go into the side hall and deal with that box." ”

"And then?"

"I saw a light coming out of there, like an ocean of light, that flooded me." Renault looked at Ciel, "And then I don't remember anything." ”
