The Lightless Sea 56
“Okay.” Kai Xin raised his eyebrows and said, “I want to see what’s weird about those people. Why do they call themselves players? Are they crazy about playing games?” She paused, “It shouldn’t be that simple, if It’s really a group of people who are addicted to playing games, we don’t need to take it so seriously.”
“Yes, they are very strange. Whether it is their ideas or understanding of the world, they seem to be… like aliens.” Kui Haidong said, “Species similar to aliens have invaded our world, and they have taken our world It’s a game, so I call myself a player.”
Kai Xin pondered, “Interesting… Father, you are not kidding me, are you? This kind of thing is too weird.”
“Then let’s look at the evidence.” Kai Haidong knocked on the table, and the holographic projection screen popped up, “At first, that player refused to reveal his identity. Instead of torture, Ye Chan tortured him for half an hour, barely digging out something from his mouth.”
“Only one person was tortured? Didn’t Ye Chan meet two people in Beluga City?” Kai Xin pretended to be curious, “Where’s the other one?”
Kui Haidong said: “The other one is a woman. She died. Ye Chan accidentally hit her too hard when he grabbed her. She didn’t make it through.”
Kai Xin’s mood sank to the bottom, and she dug a hole without a trace: “Since these so-called players are organized and have secrecy regulations, what if they have received anti-torture training? The player who was caught said it.” Could it be fake?”
She didn’t know what kind of information the player gave when he was tortured. No matter what he said, she would give Kai Haidong psychological hints, try to mislead him, and make him doubt the authenticity of the information.
“Yes, what you said is very possible, so I sent Yechan to catch the third one in the next city.” Kai Haidong smiled, “When we catch the third one, we will interrogate the intelligence and compare the two intelligences. You can know whether the information is true or false.”
“Very useful method.” Kai Xin said calmly, “Don’t you want to watch the torture video? Let’s show it.”
Kai Haidong knocked on the table again, and the high-definition video was projected in the center of the room.
Kai Xin turned his head and looked at the video screen intently.
The first thing that came out was a few dialogues.
“your name.”
“Rainier Brandenberg.”
“Okay, Rainier. Is this your original name, or the name you had after you came to this world?”
“I only got this name after I came to this world.”
“What’s your real name?”
“Clark Kent.”
“Clark Kent? Are you sure this is your name?”
In the dimly lit room, a blond man was pinned on the electric chair unconsciously. He was covered in blood, and the iron shackles were also covered in blood. Facing Ye Chan’s interrogation, the blond man gave an incoherent answer. Looking carefully, all the teeth in his mouth had been pulled out, and his mouth was bloody.
The blond man speaks in English. The technology of the second world is sufficiently developed. Even ordinary communicators have the function of translating various languages in real time. There is no obstacle for people of different languages to communicate.
“Yes, my name is Clark Kent.” The blond man said firmly.
“The lie detector showed that you were lying. This is not your name.” Ye Chan raised his eyelids, “You are dishonest…” He raised his hand and turned on the electric chair switch.
Amid the whistling electric current, the blond man twitched and screamed. After a while, the electric current stopped. The man’s body was scorched black, and his hair exploded.
He opened his mouth and let out a puff of smoke, and said, “I am indeed Kraken Kent…Maybe you want to ask me another name? My other name is Kal-El, and people in our hometown are used to naming their children Two names…”
After speaking, the blond man remembered something happy, and laughed wildly on the electric chair. Ye Chan frowned, and punched the man in the face, the man’s laughter stopped abruptly, and his face, which was already bruised and swollen, became even more swollen.
“Are you kidding me?” Ye Chan said gloomyly, “Do you think my torture is not painful enough?”
“How could I fool you?” The blond man said, “I’ve told you everything you wanted to ask.”
“Where is your real hometown? How did you come to our world?” Ye Chan asked.
“My hometown is Nebula M78. I played a game and that’s how I came here.” The blond man said, “Do you have any questions, good brother?”
Ye Chan said suspiciously: “That dead woman, are you friends? Is she also a player?”
“That’s right… She returned to the real world one step ahead of me. Really, why is the game set to reset the level after death? After we return to the real world, we can only level up again.”
“…you are like real players,Can be revived infinitely? ”
“Yeah, is a game that can’t be resurrected still a serious game? Hey, you have to be careful, when she practices a new account, she will definitely come to you for revenge.”
“What is your real world like?”
“That is a highly developed, highly free, and highly equal world. It is a world that you cannot understand.”
“Developed?” Ye Chan smiled, “Do you know how you exposed your identity? Rainier Brandenberg works in a senior scientific research position in our company, and you replaced him, but you don’t know how to use communication Bracelets, even household appliances don’t know how to use them… You’re lying to me, if your world is highly developed, how come you don’t know how our things are used?”
“Hahahahahaha…” The blond man laughed again, “You are too ignorant, brother, the technological equipment in our world has long been out of human control, we only need to move our thoughts, and the machine will capture our brainwaves , automatically help us complete the work, we don’t need to learn how to operate the machine at all.”
Yechan’s expression became more and more gloomy.
Afterwards, Yechan stopped interrogating the blond man. He beat him so badly that he lost consciousness for a while.
Whenever the man loses consciousness, Night Cicada will forcibly wake him up with an electric current, then ask him questions over and over again, and interrogate the questions he has already asked, but the blond man gives the same answer every time.
He said that Rainier, Clark Kent, and Kal-El were all his names, real names. He said his home is the M78 nebula. He said that the player’s death level will be reset to zero, but it will be resurrected infinitely. He said he came from a world of high technology…
Kai Xin finished watching the video that lasted more than half an hour.
It would be nonsensical for Rainier to change the scene to what Ye Chan said. When Kai Xin heard the name of a well-known cartoon character coming out of his mouth, he almost couldn’t maintain his expression. She didn’t think it was funny, but she felt admiration. When Rainier said these words, he must have faced enormous pressure in his heart—both mental and physical pressure.
Under the high-intensity interrogation and beatings, he had a clear mind and never told the truth. Not only did he not tell the truth, but he even induced Yechan to think.
Not everyone has such willpower, endurance and courage.
“Is what he said true?” Kai Xin looked at Kai Haidong.
Kai Haidong looked directly into Kai Xin’s eyes: “I suspect it’s a lie. He may have told the truth, but he didn’t tell the whole truth. The lie detector sometimes rings and doesn’t ring.”
“Could it be possible that aliens have invaded our world?” Kai Xin pretended to be confused and muttered to himself.
“It’s better to believe that there is something than nothing.” Kui Haidong said, “We still found too few people… The Federation may have found more people, but they will not announce this information to the public.”
Kai Xin shuddered slowly in his heart.
Perhaps the federal government of this world had already noticed it when it first entered the second world. When the players returned, the number of survivors on the forum dropped sharply, and more than 300 people died—how many of these 300 people died of accidents, and how many died of raids? How many people will die in the next return?
“Rainier… Let’s assume he is Rainier. Was everything normal before him? Since when did he start to feel wrong?” Kai Xin thought, “Is he possessed by a ‘player’?”
“About a week ago, he behaved abnormally and asked for leave from the company. His body is still the same, but the soul living in the body has been changed.” Haidong Kai said, “The one who has the same situation as him is His female assistant, she is rather reckless, we monitored her for a while, and finally determined something…Unfortunately, she died, and we couldn’t ask anything from her. We only decided to arrest Rainier two days ago, He was interrogated, and this interrogation video was recorded last night.”
“It’s really evil.” Kai Xin glanced at his teacup, “Pour tea.”
The robot approached courteously and poured tea for Kai Xin.
She picked up the tea and took a sip naturally, “I know about this, and I will pay attention to it in the investigation department.”
“Okay, I’m very relieved that you’ve always done things safely.” Kai Haidong said with a relaxed expression, “There are two players in the branch office in Beluga City alone… who knows how many are hidden in other places? We must be extremely careful .”
“Is the only way to use torture? We might as well try other methods.” Kai Xin said halfway, “Red him…”
“The evil thing is that Red can’t read his memory, or in other words, he can only read the memory of senior researcher Rainier, but not the player’s memory.” Kui Haidong said.
This is also a test. Kai Xin is testing Red’s extraordinary ability.
Trials always come with risks, and she has to bear such risks.
“It’s like this?” Kui Xin asked casually, “Where is Rainier, he should still be alive, right?”
“Alive, Yechan took him from Beluga City to the headquarters and imprisoned him.” Kai Haidong said, “If you are interested in him, you can personally torture him.”
“Another day, he’s covered in injuries, what if he dies from the torture? Wait for the body to heal and continue the torture.” Kai Xin blew on the black tea in his cup and said, “You have to be careful not to let him run away, his The origin is so weird, maybe there are some special means.”
“Well, I have drawn attention to this aspect.” Kui Haidong said.
“It’s hard to confirm the identities of the players, isn’t it?” Kai Xin said, “How did you determine the third player?”
“The city next doorThe executives of the company’s branch found that something was wrong with their son and took the initiative to report it. “Kai Haidong said, “After all, they are parents, and they will not fail to detect whether their children are real or fake. ”
“That’s true.” Kai Xin said calmly, “Do you have anything else to explain? ‘Father’.”
Kai Haidong pondered for a moment: “The matter of the Kraken…”
“It’s hard to do.” Kai Xin seized the opportunity, she decided to continue to take a little risk, and said a spy sentence she had prepared a long time ago, “The secret order doesn’t want the Kraken to land, will they do something? ?”
“Oh, that’s for sure. Although we have the same position on this matter, it is impossible for us to cooperate with them.” Kai Haidong said indifferently, “What needs to be concerned is whether they will do it on the Kraken. Hands and feet…the chances of them doing that are very small, and it’s hard to find an opportunity.”
Kai Xin further said: “I asked Yinmian to go to the port to investigate the scene of the blast…”
“Well, there is no need to continue investigating this matter, it is meaningless, it must have been done by the secret sect, they, like us, don’t want that thing to land, only they have a reason to do so… But they are somewhat in the way. “Kai Haidong said confidently, “It’s a ridiculous little sect, it’s not going to be successful, throwing some Molotov cocktails and homemade soil bombs at the port is the limit, and it won’t work.”
“I haven’t checked again for a long time,” Kai Xin said. “I was afraid that the other side would get in the way, so I asked Yinmian to investigate the port.”
finally! I finally found out the identity of the third party hidden in the port blasting. It really was a secret sect!
Kai Xin tried his best to suppress his heartbeat.
Since traveling to this world, the biggest dilemma she has faced is actually poor information. She doesn’t know what others know, and she can’t ask. Asking is voluntarily revealing her identity.
Red once said at the collective task meeting: “The freighter company claims that the clean energy combustible ice is transported on the freighter, but we all know that this is just a cover.”
Everyone in the task execution team knew that there was something wrong with the things on the freighter. Even if they didn’t know that it was filled with gray cocoons, they knew that those things were related to alien creatures—but Kai Xin didn’t know!
The lack of information is the biggest obstacle for Kaixin to survive in the second world… It would be great if she could get the extraordinary ability to read other people’s memories, so that she would not have to take so many detours, survive carefully, and pay such a high price.
“[Task Progress]: 95%.”
After solving this puzzle, the mission progress increased again.
With only 5% left, she can complete the investigation task.
At present, there is only one uncertain issue left—whether the secret sect planned the shipwreck.
If there is speculation but not certainty, then the investigation is meaningless. The meaning of the investigation is to get a 100% certain answer. This is the reason why she repeatedly tried and deliberated. Kai Xin wants to get conclusive evidence to prove that the shipwreck was planned by the secret religious order.
Kai Xin glanced at the time, it was almost evening.
“Are you going to be on the night shift tonight?” Kai Haidong said.
“No, I don’t have work all day today. I need to adjust my schedule and go to the day shift tomorrow.” Kai Xin said.
Kui Haidong nodded: “Do it well. I have a meeting to hold later, so you can wait here and let Yechan finish his work and let him see you off.”
He got up and straightened the folds on his suit, and walked out of the office.
Outside the corridor, Kai Haidong said to himself, “Is that so? Everything is business as usual…I see…”
He frowned and stood there in silence for a few seconds before leaving.
…
Yin Mian was busy at the port tonight and did not return all night.
Kai Xin slept very lightly, the flames of the Kraken appeared in her mind, and the video of the blonde man Rainier being tortured played in her mind, she woke up from a dream, her whole body ached like she hadn’t slept all night, and her bones creaked ring.
She patted her face, washed, ate breakfast and changed clothes according to the usual procedures, and stepped out at seven o’clock to go to the coast security team.
As soon as she got near the office, she heard a familiar voice.
“Little Kai!” Lan Lan ran over panting, and said with a smile, “Hey, I knew I wasn’t late today when I saw you.”
Kai Xin smiled: “Go in, Lan Lan, you’ll be really late if you hang around for another two minutes.”
Seeing this familiar face again, it feels like a lifetime away…
They walked through the gate side by side.
Adam’s mechanical voice sounded: “Good morning. Security officer Lan Lan, security officer Kui Xin, welcome back.”
Lan Lan didn’t respond to Adam’s greeting, he was used to it.
And Kai Xin said calmly: “Good morning… I hope today is also a peaceful and beautiful day.”
“Are you saying good morning to Adam?” Lan Lan said.
“Unknowingly…sometimes I feel that Adam is like a comrade who fights side by side with us and works hard.” Kai Xin explained.
Lan Lan was taken aback.
“It makes sense, Adam has always been very human.” He smiled, “Good morning, Adam.”
“…good morning.” Adam said, “have a nice day.”
