Chapter 138 Interrogation
The remaining C-class divine mecha saw the two divine mechas coming towards it threateningly, but it did not intend to retreat. It opened its upper and lower jaws, gathered divine energy, and shot out.
Flames burst!!!
The fiery red beam of divine energy swept across the starship below again.
Instead of continuing to attack the two divine mechas, they aimed their spearheads at the starship! Fortunately, the monkey suit mecha had not yet jumped out of the range of the starship. It leaped up, and the pale blue hemispherical divine shield in front of it expanded to its maximum, covering the starship in front.
My teammates haven't come out yet, so we can't let them die here.
This is another group of elite young mecha divisions of the Yao Chi ship! The next moment, the energy cannon touched the divine shield, splashing countless small flames, falling on the starship, melting through the protective coating directly, and the first and second protective shells were about to be melted out.
On the other side, the Pluto mecha reached out and grabbed the opponent's mecha head, then leaped up, flames suddenly exploded behind it, and it accelerated rapidly towards the C-class divine mecha.
Upon seeing this, the C-class mecha stopped spraying, and flexibly flashed its body, spraying to a far corner before the Pluto mecha shot over from afar, and leaped away lightly like a swimming fish, avoiding the impact of the Pluto mecha in advance.
The Pluto mecha made a sharp turn, and flames suddenly exploded behind it, superimposed with the wind and fire divine power in its body, accelerating towards the opponent.
The opponent was only seventy meters tall, but his skills and reactions were more flexible and agile than the other C-class, and his actions were decisive.
But for Li Yi, if they are of the same size, even if their technical and tactical levels are extremely superior, they are still no match for him.
Unless the driver inside is a powerful person who is just one step away from reaching the heavenly level, he will be a little afraid.
However, the opponent was still quite slippery and relentless. During several chases, the opponent maintained a certain distance and always avoided the Pluto mecha's close approach.
Obviously, he also saw the terrible consequences of being approached by the Pluto mecha when seeing his companion die quickly.
Normally, once the opponent loses the will to fight and keeps dodging after being chased, it is difficult for a divine mecha of the same level to catch the opponent in a space scene.
But Li Yi is not an ordinary person and he has his own way.
With a thought, he controlled the Pluto mecha to make a fake move, pretending to be fooled by the opponent. He suddenly turned around and released micro-electric characteristics to stimulate the nerve reaction speed to speed up a level. At the same time, he launched a burst skill to increase the body load by a level.
Suddenly, in the silent space.
The flames behind the Pluto mecha's body increased in intensity again, and exploded like a huge spark.
Driven by this explosive force, the Pluto mecha swung its sword in a circle, cutting through the sky and landing on the opponent's shoulder.
…
On the other side, the small starship of the Yugong ship was just not far behind the Yaochi ship, preparing to go deep into the border star.
In front of the control panel, He Tongmian noticed the flash of explosion in the distance and his eyes moved slightly.
"Captain, zoom in on the detection system and see what's happening at the 10 o'clock position."
The captain said, "It's a battle between divine mechas! One is a small starship belonging to the Yao Chi ship, and the other seems to be a cruiser of the Border Star Garrison Corps. Hey! The authentication password of the cruiser was displayed normally just now, but it suddenly disappeared after refreshing. What happened?"
He Tongmian's face changed slightly. "Was it a temporary invasion? Or was it exposed and the evidence was destroyed? Pilot, adjust the direction and get closer. Also, quickly record the authentication information of that cruiser to prevent them from destroying the records."
After saying that, he leaped up, climbed out of the bridge passage, ran to the upper hangar of the starship, and shouted: "A brother ship has been attacked, everyone immediately activate the divine mecha, leave five to guard, and the other three follow me to provide support!"
He Tongmian was ranked tenth in the last session. He has currently condensed 26 divine genes, only one away from the upper limit.
The Divine Mecha is a 88-meter-long, B-class, electric mecha of the Thor sequence. It is black and white, with a black base of tactile armor and white outer steel armor. It has broad shoulders and a thin waist, long arms that go beyond the knees, and extremely long thighs.
There is an electric-shaped helmet on his head, and an angry face is revealed under the helmet.
There is a lightning-like line on the forehead, his eyes are wide open, and his cheeks are bulging, as if he is gritting his teeth.
As the roof of the outermost hangar opened, the angry mecha activated the universal thrusters behind it first, leaped suddenly, and moved forward rapidly under the propulsion of the flames behind it.
Several machines at the rear also started up quickly, with flashes of flames, enveloping the mechas and shooting out rapidly.
As the best young mecha masters on a ship, most of them are equipped with corresponding thrusters.
The few that are not equipped will naturally stay inside the ship and defend against enemies outside the ship.
Soon, the people on the Yugong ship rushed to the battle group and saw a scene that shocked them extremely -
In silence, an excessive amount of thruster jets burst out in front, spreading out like cosmic fireworks.
Then, a pure black divine mecha slashed with a sharp sword, cutting a 70-meter-tall C-class divine mecha in half, splitting it diagonally from the shoulder to the waist, into two oblique parts.
Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank drastically.
"What a strong killing power. Is that Pluto mecha the boy who got the golden light of Wushan?"
"A divine mecha of the same level, with one cut, it's like cutting tofu without any resistance?"
"Normally, when divine mechas of the same level fight each other, unless they are programmed mechas like the Ruins, the most common outcome is to break through the defense and then continue to wear down the opponent, right?"
"The opponent's movements were obviously not those of a programmed mecha, and the divine control was obviously very flexible. Even the defense of the outer armor could not withstand that slash for a second!"
“So strong!”
On the public channel, everyone was silent for a while, and then a lot of low discussions broke out.
Everyone could not hide their shock.
Because of their divine mechas, except He Tongmian who is at level B, the others are all at level C.
In other words, if they fought against the pure black mecha, they would most likely not even be able to defend against its attacks.
He Tongmian said in a deep voice:
"The subtlety of that slash was the instantaneous burst of super-speed from the thrusters behind him, which accelerated him to an incredible speed in a very short time. The opponent had no time to react, and his divinity could not be quickly activated to strengthen his defense."
"Then, he can precisely focus all of his kinetic energy on the blade, penetrating it, making it indestructible."
"Not to mention C-level, even B-level and even A-level can be cut off with one blow."
Someone asked, "In other words, if he didn't have that huge burst of flames to accumulate power, he wouldn't be able to deliver such a powerful blow?"
He Tongmian nodded and said, "That's the theory, but you can't be sure whether the other party has any more cards."
As they spoke, four divine mechas moved closer to the Pluto mecha.
Considering the change in the cruise ship's authority just now, the situation is already very clear.
The cruiser is most likely fake, or it was usurped by cult members.
As for the target, if there are no accidents, it will most likely be Li Yi who possesses the golden light of Wushan.
Since everyone had come into contact with Li Yi, in order to cooperate, they naturally investigated Li Yi's relevant situation.
Therefore, it is naturally easy to obtain information about the corresponding exclusive mecha, which is almost public information.
It can be seen at a glance that the pure black mecha is Li Yi's exclusive vehicle, the Pluto Mecha.
However, although they wanted assistance, when they arrived at the battlefield, the battle had already ended, so there was naturally no question of assistance.
What's more, the other party had just been attacked and might be like a frightened bird.
Therefore, the four divine mechas approached to an appropriate degree and stopped about seven or eight kilometers away.
At this distance, even if both sides use divine energy cannons to bombard each other, there is enough time to react and defend, so it won't be a big problem.
There is no need to worry about close and rapid attacks. For both parties, it is a relatively gentle and safe distance.
…
"Li Yi, I'm He Tongmian. I saw the flames flashing here and confirmed that there was a battle between divine mechas. I was just about to come over to help, but I didn't expect that you guys would end the battle so quickly. How is it going? Have you captured all the opponents?"
The Pluto mecha was suspended in the vacuum, maintaining the same distance as the small starship, observing several divine mechas in front.
Having just experienced an attack, it is natural that we cannot easily trust the people who approach the battlefield at the first time.
What's more, the other party is someone you have just met not long ago, and the degree of danger may be high or low, so you have to be on guard.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yi said in a letter:
"Captain He, can you tell what happened on our side? What's the clue in your mind?"
He Tongmian replied: "Of course, the other ships around are fine, only you have problems. There is no doubt that it must be aimed at your Wushan Golden Light."
"However, although there were quite a few people present at the time, they were all core members of each ship, and there were not many unrelated passers-by at the time. Logically, they should have been checked to prevent the news from being leaked."
"It seems that there must be a traitor among our group at that time."
Li Yi praised:
"Captain He is indeed a man with clear ideas. So, what do you think we should do next?"
Of course, he didn't believe He Tongmian immediately.
Naturally, what he said just now was also a test for He Tongmian.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If there is something wrong with the other person, I believe it will be revealed quickly through words.
Moreover, the battle here will definitely not be hidden from the surrounding monitoring facilities, and most likely the real garrison troops will come to confirm the situation after a while.
By then, the situation will mostly be safe.
But just in case, the safest approach is undoubtedly to keep the divine mecha started at all times and keep people in the cockpit.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He Tongmian said, "Wait until the garrison troops come over. It would be safest if their superiors were present."
Theoretically, this is one of the most powerful groups on the human frontier. Even if some people at the lower level are quietly brainwashed, converted, or lurking by the cult, it is unlikely that the upper level people will be converted.
After all, the strength is there.
Of course, if such strong men have been transformed, this is all the opponent's territory, and there is nothing we can do if we really want to attack them.
Li Yi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. Although I am very grateful to Captain He for coming to help, the situation is unclear now, so I can only excuse myself for now."
"It doesn't matter. We are all comrades on a brother ship. There may be a possibility of cooperation in the future, right?"
He Tongmian responded with a smile, not caring about Li Yi's caution.
On the contrary, I think it is better to be cautious.
…
After a while, the other teammates on the starship also gradually recovered the remains of the two C-class divine mechas and loaded them into the small starship.
Although the outer armor of the small starship was removed and the particle energy cannon was destroyed, the defensive coating was also melted through by the divine energy cannon with flame properties, allowing air to leak out.
However, the main structure was still intact, and the central cabin had entered a closed ship mode due to the other party's previous tampering with its authority, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the air did not leak out completely.
Therefore, the internal circulation system can still operate.
If all goes well, their base will still be there with just a little repair.
Moreover, they also seized this cruiser. If it is confirmed to be a disguise, then they can legitimately seize a small starship worth at least 5 billion star coins.
Of course, even if this cruiser is a real thing, they can take this opportunity to exchange military merits from the garrison corps.
Not bad.
As for the previous pilot of the small starship, he was naturally taken down for the time being to prevent any problems from occurring to him.
…
Soon, the garrison corps' authentic cruiser was confirmed to have arrived.
Upon inspection, it was discovered that it was indeed not any cruiser in service in the garrison corps, but an old ship that had been retired for nearly thirty years.
However, although they have been retired, the overall appearance of the new generation of cruise ships is only subtly different from the old ones in size and paint.
Therefore, with a slight adjustment, the fake ones can be easily passed off as genuine.
As for how the other party obtained the decommissioned ship and the authorization authentication password, the patrol chief of the garrison corps said:
"We will handle it properly, investigate it quickly, and give you an explanation. We won't let you feel disappointed after coming all the way here to support the battle."
In response, Liang Zhishen said firmly: "We want more than just an explanation. We also want you to quickly find loopholes in the defense line and personnel configuration and rectify the problems. At the same time, follow the clues to find all the cult members and eliminate them immediately!"
"Almost all the powerful people in the Federation are watching this competition. I hope you don't want to make any mistakes in such an important occasion!"
The cruise commander said, "I understand. Don't worry."
As for the prisoners and the captain they had captured, they had no intention of handing them over immediately.
Instead, he planned to land on the border planet and interrogate the person himself.
After all, this is their own starship, and they would not feel at ease if they handed it over to others.
Moreover, as long as they keep good compliance records, they do not have to worry about the interrogation results being rejected by the Supervision Department and failing to become valid evidence.
…
The small starship was lifted up by everyone's divine mechas, and after it landed at the designated landing area, it began the interrogation.
The presiding judges were Liang Zhishen and Li Yi.
Zhang Baili was responsible for checking the polygraph test results from behind and conveying information to the two people through gestures.
First is the driver.
"Name."
"Chen Hui."
"Why did you accept the other party's vacant authority order before I gave a confirmed order? As a result, we were almost captured by the cult and the starship was severely damaged. We need to pay at least 1 billion star coins for repairs."
Chen Hui said: "I am the chief pilot. I have judged that the other party's authority is fine, and you have approved it before, so I will execute it directly. Is there any problem?"
Liang Zhishen tapped the table anxiously with his fingers, staring at Chen Hui with an intimidating look, and said softly:
"No, you clearly discovered the problem, but you still followed the action. You are a cult member, right? Tell me, who converted you? Time, place, specific circumstances, describe it in detail!"
Chen Hui was very calm and said:
"No, I was just following my duty. You can think that I made a mistake in judgment, but you can't label me a cult member. That's unfair. I am innocent."
Li Yi looked at Zhang Baili and found that both lie detector test results were true.
This means that Chen Hui believes that he did not lie, or indeed did not lie.
Li Yi said, "Chen Hui, do you think that the best you can do is let the military court convict you of dereliction of duty? Is this the best result you can accept?"
Chen Hui said: "That's not what I meant. I left the authority vacant because I really thought there was nothing wrong with the other party."
Li Yi said: "People die for money, birds die for food. It can be seen that you are not a member of the cult. You are just temporarily bewitched and bought, right?"
"Didn't you gamble away a lot of work hours before, which exceeded your limit? In order to fill the vacancy, you had no choice but to take a risk and follow the other party's request. At the critical moment, you pressed that button, right?"
Chen Hui's pupils shrank slightly, and he said nothing.
Li Yi said thoughtfully:
"It seems I was right. So, how many hours have you lost in total? Is it tens of thousands? No, it seems to be hundreds of thousands. You are really bold. Do you think that if you win the bet, you can lie flat on the ship for the rest of your life?"
"Then, you can also use the hours you win from gambling to exchange for divine radiation, which will allow you to become an evolver, right?"
Chen Hui didn't say anything, but Li Yi ignored him and kept asking questions, while observing the slightest changes around his face.
Before long, Li Yi had basically outlined the complete situation in his mind. He gave Liang Zhishen a look and left the interrogation room.
Li Yi said: "The clues about Chen Hui's situation are not very useful, let's interrogate the two fake mecha masters we just captured."
Liang Zhishen was surprised and said, "You are really good, you act like an interrogation expert. You just asked a lot of questions. Are you observing his micro-expressions? Tell me the truth, is it useful? What is your conclusion so far?"
Li Yi said: "In fact, I observe not only micro-expressions, but also the micro-electric changes in his brain, as well as the movements of the micro-muscles on his face and eyes. Only by making comprehensive judgments can I constantly try out the keywords that will cause him to react."
