Chapter 2062 Scarlet Interrogation

And at the front of this cold hibernation warehouse that looks like a prison and a tomb, there are thirty-six hibernation warehouses that are relatively large in size, have a smooth shell, and look very advanced. Going in, you can also see thirty-six hibernators curled up in a baby-like posture.

But these hibernators are different from those who were convicted of "inciting, rioting and endangering national security" just now. From the back of their heads along the spine all the way down, every few centimeters will be nailed with a complex, shiny The nails are connected by a strong and complicated mechanical structure, and they extend to their limbs, all the way to the fingertips, like some kind of weird exoskeleton structure.

Li Yao imagined that these nails were probably driven into the gaps in their spines, controlling the spinal cord, central nervous system, and limbs.

Even if they get out of hibernation and are entangled with such shackles to the spine, I'm afraid there is no room for resistance.

Therefore, they are not passengers, but also... prisoners.

Think about it, this is a transport ship that jumps and sails between the inland worlds of the real human empire. From the perspective of the structure and the performance of the power cabin, it is not suitable for performing ultra-long-distance long-distance star sea jumping missions. Before long, there was no need for the crew to hibernate.

Li Yao was very keenly aware of the vague aura in these hibernators.

Especially in the center of their brows, even in a state of deep sleep, there is still a small group of "virtual neurons" that are weakly jumping.

That's where the spiritual roots are.

"Their spiritual roots have awakened, are they cultivators, or..."

Next to the hibernation cabins of the thirty-six spiritual root awakeners, there is also a small crystal brain, which contains much more detailed information about their bodies than ordinary people, including their big realm, small level, and daily practice skills. , and even included several videos of their fights.

However, there are also no names and backgrounds of them, only a series of simple numbers, and new charges: "crime of dereliction of duty, crime of treason, crime against humanity".

Most spiritual root awakeners are accused of one or two of these three crimes, and some even have all three. Of course, that one is also the strongest one. It has reached the initial stage of alchemy, and its spine is firmly fixed by an extra thick shackle. After being restrained, hundreds of crystal threads spread from the top of the shackles, extending along the back of the head to the front, piercing deeply into his brain from the nostrils, ear holes and corners of the eyes.

Judging by his eyes closed, his eyeballs trembling rapidly, and his grim and distorted expression, even though his flesh and blood were sealed in extremely low temperature, his soul was still suffering unspeakable torture in the Frost Hell.

"If you are a cultivator, then 'treason' and 'crime against humanity' are easy to understand."

Li Yao thought about it, "But what about 'dereliction of duty'? Even if you make up random charges, you wouldn't usually fabricate such a weird charge?"

The warehouse was as cold as an icehouse and was silent, only a few psychic puppets were moving forward mechanically according to the patrol route, which added a bit of eerie feeling, making people unwilling to stay here for a long time.

Li Yao weighed it for a moment, withdrew his thousands of divine thoughts, and returned to the vicinity of the smoky and poisonous power cabin at the stern of the ship.

The entire power cabin has no secrets in front of him, whether it is the licking of every flame, the explosion of every fuel pipeline, or the actions of every immortal cultivator in the damage control team, they are all like a crystal clear virtual picture Generally, the layers of decomposition and peeling appear in his brain in the form of the most basic data and models.

"boom!"

When a team of damage control team members hurried past the corridor next to the power cabin, Li Yao had a thought, and an auxiliary combustion agent pipeline that he had tampered with with the technique of controlling objects in the air broke suddenly, and instantly gasified and expanded tens of thousands of times. The auxiliary combustion agent and the poisonous mist collided together, immediately triggering a new explosion. Everyone was swallowed by the poisonous flame, and even blasted tens of meters away by the shock wave, hitting hard at the end of the tunnel.

The scene was in chaos, there were explosions and screams everywhere, all the lighting and monitoring systems were in chaos, the injured dragged their stumps and broken arms to escape the flames desperately, those who were lucky enough to be uninjured had their crystal armor severely damaged, inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas, and were in a daze , dizzy, bumping around in the poisonous mist and magic flames like headless chickens.

In such chaos, no one noticed that their little leader was blown away to the end of the corridor by the shock wave, and then disappeared into the thick poisonous mist like ink!

Li Yao stretched his five fingers apart, pinched the void, and grasped the little boss's head firmly like iron pliers. The strength was so great that even the strongest crystal armor helmet creaked and would burst at any moment.

Wisps of psychic energy flowed through like poisonous snakes, instantly cutting off all the rune arrays and chips that the crystal armor could transmit information with the outside world, and piercing through the crystal brain by the way, paralyzing the crystal armor and turning it into a tight iron coffin.

Only then did Li Yao unhurriedly drag the little boss to a hidden corner. He carefully studied the structure around the power cabin, and deduced it based on the current damage situation, and sent out hundreds of thoughts to guard in all directions, at least within five minutes. , No one will come to "disturb" him.

"boom!"

Li Yao strengthened his strength a little. It was made of super alloy and special ceramics. The crystal armor helmet, which could withstand the short-range bombardment of the bolt gun, immediately burst like a delicate vase. What is surprising is that under the crystal armor However, his head was not injured at all, not even a trace of blood was scratched when the fragments of the Tiannv scattered flowers burst.

The little leader's face was pale, and he didn't know what happened.

But looking at Li Yao's demon-like aura and unfathomable eyes, like a hyena facing a velociraptor, he couldn't think of struggling at all, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Li Yao raised the corners of his mouth, too lazy to talk nonsense with this person, his left eye gradually turned red, and strands of strange blood bloomed from the depths of his pupils, and even drilled out of the eyeballs, continuously growing and extending in the void, and finally pierced all of them into this place. The eyes of a small boss.

The little boss showed an extremely terrified and dazed expression, and twitched like an electric shock. There was a "hissing" sound from his throat, but he couldn't condense into a scream, and he didn't have any substantive resistance.

Until the end, his eyes turned blood red, and his face was also covered with bulging blood, like a big spider, lying on top of his facial features.

"Okay, let's ask."

The bloody demon grinned.

The gap between the two sides was too great. Li Yao didn't need any methods of torture and language games to let the bloody demon directly break through the opponent's psychological defense line. Simple and brutal hypnosis was enough.

Li Yao said: "Who are you, and what tasks are you performing?"

The blood on the little leader's face kept squirming, like nematodes continuously absorbing the secrets in the cerebral cortex and folds, half a second later, he said clearly and quickly: "We are 221 of the 'Ursa Transport Group'. The No. 1 transport ship is carrying out a routine transportation mission, delivering a batch of supplies to the Sky Eye Group's star base in the Venomous Scorpion Star Cluster and Wuyingjie."

"Sky Eye Group?"

Li Yao thought to himself, it seems that this is the power of the cultivators who control the "Sky City, Manzhushahua". After thinking about it, he asked again, "Did you encounter a storm in the Star Sea during the voyage?"

"Yes."

The little leader said, "Not long after we set off from the 'Spirit Snake Realm' twelve days ago, we suddenly encountered a large-scale Xinghai storm, and barely managed to get here all the way."

Li Yao continued to ask: "The goods you are transporting are those people in the hibernation warehouse? Who are those people, and what are they transporting to the 'City of the Sky, Manzhushahua'?"

"Those are prisoners."

The little boss looked dull and his eyes were fixed, but his thoughts were very clear, and his speech speed was getting faster and faster, as if some mysterious force was forcibly reading information from his brain, "He was sentenced to life imprisonment and a suspended death sentence. The serious criminals will be sent to the prison of 'Sky City, Manzhushahua' to serve their sentences."

Li Yao was slightly taken aback: "Is there a prison on the 'Sky City, Manzhushahua'?"

"That's right, there is a very large private prison there. Among all the starry sky prisons in the entire empire, its scale and level are among the best."

The little boss said, "We've signed a transportation contract with the 'Ursa Transport Group' and the 'Sky Eye Group', and we will help them transport a large number of prisoners from all over the Star Sea to serve their sentences every year."

"I saw their charges of sedition, riots, dereliction of duty, treason, endangering national security and even... crimes against humanity."

Li Yaodao, "But there are only charges and no detailed criminal information. Do you know how they committed the crime?"

The little boss hesitated for a moment, and said: "We just transport, arrest or try other people, it's just hearsay."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yao's left eye appeared a few more streaks of blood, and it stabbed hard into the opponent's eyeball, "Tell me everything you heard, quickly!"

The little boss trembled all over, his eyeballs twirled rapidly, and said like a dream: "They seem to be miners on a remote resource planet somewhere in the Spirit Snake Realm, because they are dissatisfied with the working conditions or the compensation measures after several mining accidents are not in place. In short, it was a strike first, then an illegal march, and finally turned into an armed riot. After being quickly suppressed, all the key elements of the riot were sentenced to life imprisonment and death sentence suspended, and they were sent here to serve their sentences.”

"I see."

Li Yao thought in his heart, no wonder no matter men, women, old or young, even if they have not awakened spiritual roots, they are all quite strong, so they are miners.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What about those who have been imprisoned for crimes of 'dereliction of duty' and so on, are they also miners?"

"No, they seem to be the heads of the local mining group. They are all immortal cultivators. Because they handled the situation unfavorably, they were too soft-hearted in the process of suppressing illegal demonstrations and armed riots, which led to the further expansion of the situation, so they were sentenced to 'dereliction of duty'. Send it here too."

The little boss paused, and then said, "I heard that some of them were suspected of sympathizing with the rioters, and they were suspected by the higher authorities that they had been infiltrated and polluted by the Holy League, so the sentence was particularly harsh. crimes against humanity'."
