Chapter 313 What do you want to do?
Jerry was taken aback, and instinctively retorted, "But we didn't arrest anything..."
His words abruptly stopped when he looked at Letekar.
Because Letekar showed no intention of refuting it, and even... was seriously considering the possibility.
Jerry, being Luttkar's adjutant, was naturally waiting for his orders.
Letkar raised his eyes slightly to look at Jerry, "Let's do as Lord Tanchi said and go prepare."
Although Jerry still had some doubts, he did not hesitate to obey Lutcal's orders.
"Yes, Major General!" He turned and walked straight out.
The metal door clicked shut behind Jerry, isolating the room outside the interrogation room.
Letekar looked at Tan Chi, his brows furrowing slightly. "My lord, are you planning to find an insect to impersonate Roronoa?"
He had always known that Tan Chi possessed a camouflage technique that allowed him to remain undetected by any insects.
However, if this technology is used by more insects, Tan Chi will be in great danger.
Too many eyes were fixed on Tan Chi, the empire's one and only S-class male insect.
He worried that if Tan Chi's abilities were exposed to the public, various forces would covet him.
Tan Chi shook his head, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "I don't need to take any risks. A regular holographic projection will suffice."
He walked to the control panel and pulled up the physiological monitoring data of the insects in the interrogation room.
Several curves representing mental stress and physical condition are fluctuating wildly in the dangerous red zone.
“Look, they’ve held on until now, and their mental and physical strength are almost at their limit. At this point, giving them a huge psychological shock would be enough to make them lose their minds.”
When these insects are functioning normally, it is indeed difficult for them to be fooled by ordinary holographic images.
But things are different now. Exhausted and injured female soldiers are easily taken advantage of.
Even if you only fool one person and pry open a crack, that's enough.
If one of them lets its guard down, the defenses of the other two insects will collapse.
Even if they fail to fool the last one, it's still not too late to use 001's technology.
Looking at the wildly fluctuating curves on the screen, and then at Tan's composed profile, Luttkar slowly nodded.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Letekar took a deep breath, turned on the quantum computer, and his fingers flew across the virtual keyboard, quickly creating a realistic virtual scene.
He did a quick check, then opened the door to their room and strode toward the interrogation room, while Tan Chi stayed where he was, waiting for Letekar.
Soon, the heavy alloy door of the interrogation room slid open, and Ludkar's tall figure slowly stepped in.
His handsome face was expressionless, yet his entire body exuded a chilling aura.
The three star thieves, who were originally lifeless, tensed up instinctively after sensing the aura of the insect emanating from him.
Letkar swept his gaze over the three Star Thieves present, his icy stare almost tangible. "I admire your loyalty, but I wonder if your leader, Roronoa, will appreciate it?"
His voice was deep, carrying a chilling mockery.
One of the insects immediately became agitated, "What do you want to do?"
The other two space pirates were also a little excited, but when they heard one of the pirates speak, they sat still and listened quietly to their conversation.
"What do you want to do?" Letekar shrugged slightly. "Well, if you can't pry your mouths open, try prying his. I don't think one male insect can withstand as much as one female insect, right?"
The three star thieves suddenly looked up, their eyes showing intense emotions for the first time.
"You're actually going to attack a male insect?"
"If you dare to touch Lord Roronoa, we'll fight you to the death!"
"Do your Imperial Legion's insects intend to break the law? Aren't you afraid the Male Insect Protection Association will cause trouble for your First Legion?!"
...
Lutekar scoffed and walked to the presiding judge's seat. "Imperial law does stipulate that female insects must protect male insects, but that applies to law-abiding insects. You are space pirates, parasites of the Empire, and are not under their protection."
Looking at the state of these insects, Letekar knew that this was a sure thing.
He arrogantly swept his gaze over the insects before him, his expression one of indifference as if he held life and death in his hands. "Perfect timing. We have several female soldiers in our military whose mental seas are on the verge of collapse and urgently need comforting. This male insect..."
Before he could finish speaking, the three female insects began to struggle desperately.
For the male insect, comforting the female insect whose mental state is on the verge of collapse is equivalent to the cruelest torture.
He leaned forward slightly, making the three star thieves feel even more pressured.
"Throwing him to those warriors fighting for the empire, draining Roronoa of his last bit of spiritual energy, is a way to make use of waste."
Lutkar's voice was so cold and emotionless that it sent chills down the spines of the three Star Thieves.
"No! You wouldn't dare! The Male Insect Protection Association won't let you do that!"
"Exactly! You're definitely talking nonsense! There's no way you could have caught the boss!"
"We don't believe you! You can't fool us!"
Several star thieves roared with eyes wide open, but their voices trembled almost imperceptibly.
Ludkael did not answer him, but simply snapped his fingers.
In the center of the interrogation room, a crystal-clear holographic projection instantly lit up.
In the scene, Roronoa is bound hand and foot, the entire insect tightly strapped to a specially made restraint chair.
His face was injured, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with rage and humiliation.
Seemingly sensing that there were insects watching him, he struggled and cursed desperately in the direction of the camera.
"You treacherous imperial lackeys! If you have the guts, let me out for a one-on-one fight! What kind of skill is it to only resort to underhanded tactics!"
"Your Imperial Legion are all trash! Garbage! Bastards! Let me go!"
"Did you hear me! I'm going to kill you all!"
The shouts and curses in the video echoed clearly in the interrogation room, each word like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the three space thieves.
Roronoa's contorted expression of rage instantly shattered the last shred of hope in the space pirates' hearts.
Their boss actually got arrested!
Roronoa's cursing continued in the projection, but Letecar simply turned off the holographic image.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you tell me who sent you and who is providing you with assistance and intelligence, I might consider letting your boss suffer a little less, or even... letting you meet him."
His sharp eyes were fixed on the three star thieves.
The intense sense of oppression pushed their already exhausted nerves to the breaking point.
"I'll talk!" Suddenly, one of the space pirates gritted its teeth. "I'll talk, but how can you guarantee that you'll let our boss go after I finish?"
Lutkar raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone still icy, "You can also choose not to believe it."
