Chapter 139 Mentor

Liang Zhishen frowned as he listened: "This is so fancy, the feasibility should be very poor, right? Will it work?"

Li Yi said: "Go back and ask the people on the main ship to check his recent working hours, capital flow, and his usual habits, and we can roughly confirm the situation."

"How do you know he's a gambler?"

Li Yi said: "First, he looks very calm, but the adrenaline in his body is surging, and the micro-electrical reaction of his brain is much more active than that of non-evolved people. This shows that his calmness is not the calmness of indifference, but the calmness after careful consideration, and it is a premeditated calmness."

"Second, his fingers were unconsciously doing finger exercises, the kind that gamblers do to improve their hand speed."

"Based on the above two points, it can be confirmed that he is most likely a gambler."

"As for how to confirm how much he lost, just report a relevant number and observe his reaction."

"Generally speaking, people have a unique instinctive reaction to guessing numbers. For example, if someone asks you to guess your account password or fund balance, would you subconsciously compare the number to see if it matches?"

"Then, we just need to see if he has any subconscious movements or reactions to certain numbers."

"And Chen Hui's subconscious action was to touch his index fingers against each other's nails."

Liang Zhishen said thoughtfully:

“That sounds much more reliable. Although I haven’t dabbled in this area of ​​skills, I have more or less heard of similar things.”

"From this perspective, this is indeed more useful than lie detection AI, after all, that thing can only test whether someone is lying, but cannot test more detailed psychological states."

"In that case, then I'll leave the person below to you for trial?"

Li Yi said: "Instructor, please interrogate him first. I need to observe his situation clearly so that I can find out something in a targeted way."

Liang Zhishen said: "Okay, let's do this then."

As he was speaking, Teng Juli walked in carrying another mid-level evolver whose hands and feet were locked with fine steel.

The driver of that C-class divine mecha is a mid-level leader who has condensed 18 divine genes, the Vulcan sequence, and has considerable strength.

Of course, fine steel cannot hold down the best among the best. Once the divine characteristics erupt, it will only take a few minutes to tear the fine steel apart.

Therefore, Li severely injured the evolver in advance, and then used the penetrating ice fist to freeze the organs of the two captives except the heart, keeping them alive.

This can also prevent him from retaliating violently.

Moreover, just in case, there are two activated divine mechas watching nearby.

Only then did they begin interrogating the two.

They had checked in advance and found that these two people had no official identity, were illegal residents without formal nationality, and had no citizenship.

Otherwise, even if they were prisoners, submitting the video as evidence would seem too tragic and might be suspected of being torture.

The evidence of these two people committing a crime is sufficient, the battlefield video is clear, and the tampering of authority has been determined, so the tragic scene in the interrogation video is irrelevant.

…

"Name?"

“…”

The other party did not answer. He lay on the table, glanced up at the two of them, and was dying.

Li Yi and Liang Zhishen looked at each other and thought at the same time, Oops, it seems that the hit was too hard, the other party does not even seem to have the strength to speak.

No wonder, they have no experience in capturing human evolutionists.

Even if they are aliens, there are other ways to deal with them.

But there seems to be less precedent when facing captives who are mid-level human evolutionists.

And although they are sure to win over their opponents, there is no guarantee that their opponents have mastered some special divine characteristics and can turn the tables in one fell swoop.

Li Yi thought about it, stretched out his right hand, covered the man's head, and stimulated the micro-electric characteristics.

Zizizizi! Accompanied by a very fine flash of light blue electric arc, the prisoner's body was slightly numb, and he seemed to have recovered a little.

He felt somewhat energetic, yet somewhat uncomfortable.

"Tell the truth. If you don't want to enjoy the stimulation of my dozen or so characteristics later, just say so."

Li Yi smiled.

Of course, he has more than a dozen characteristics, and a divine gene may not only provide one characteristic.

However, the divine gene that can provide multiple characteristics is not specialized enough, and its power is weaker than a single gene with one characteristic.

But with Li Yi's exquisite operating skills, it is enough.

The other party didn't say anything, so Li Yi simply activated the two properties of micro-electricity and magnetic explosion.

While keeping his spirit hanging, his body was being tormented.

“Ahhhh!”

The prisoner screamed, then his whole body twitched, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted not long after.

Even Liang Zhishen who was standing next to him was secretly shocked. This boy looked like a decent person at ordinary times, but now he was so unambiguous when it came to lynching.

But it is no wonder, after all, the cult members who intended to kill them are the cancer of humanity.

A few thunderous measures are still considered polite.

After a while, Li Yi used the growth characteristics to stimulate the powerful vitality of the outstanding captive.

Soon, the captives continued to wake up.

Liang Zhishen knew that he couldn't let Li Yi work all the time, so he said in a deep voice:

"Tell me, where are you from? Where did you get the news? Whose instructions did you receive? Is your purpose to capture us or to kill us?"

The prisoner sat up a little straighter and panted:

"I have no name or surname. I come from the Holy Land of Nothingness. My purpose is simple, which is to capture the person who possesses the Golden Light of Wushan."

"The Wushan Labyrinth is clearly an item from our Void Holy Land, so we naturally have to take it back. It's that simple."

"If you have finished asking, then please let me die. The body is nothing but a shackle for my survival. If you destroy it for me sooner, my mission will be complete!"

Towards the end, the prisoner began to speak incoherently.

The words he kept repeating were, "Kill me!" The two looked at each other and could clearly see that the prisoner's mind was becoming more and more confused.

Liang Zhishen said, "It seems that his thought stamp has been triggered. Most likely, as long as the secret is revealed, he will switch to the language mode of preaching the true saint, and then speak without thinking, with chaotic logic, like delirium. This kind of situation, the captives we have captured before all have this pattern."

"However, as far as I can remember, I have never captured a strong person at the level of a mid-level elite before... It is really unimaginable that a mid-level evolver could be controlled so deeply."

Li Yi asked: "Since it is such a powerful effect, could it be that the one who planted the mental imprint on this person is a Heavenly Rank expert?"

Liang Zhishen nodded and said, "Maybe. It seems that we can only transfer the prisoners to the Supervision Department. They are experienced and may be able to pry open some information."

The Supervisory Department of their Yao Chi ship would naturally not come here. The only Supervisory Department that could be found now was naturally the local Supervisory Department on the border star.

"No, there's no rush. Information can come out of more than just mouths."

Li Yi said: "Since their words will trigger the effect of the thought seal, let's change the method for the other person. Seal his mouth, guess the situation, and observe his reaction. Maybe we can get some results."

Liang Zhishen was slightly stunned, then said in surprise: "Okay, then I'll do as you say, let's see if your fancy observation method works."

Although he said it was a fancy observation method, he had already recognized its effectiveness in his heart.

…

Soon, they followed suit and brought the less seriously injured prisoners to the interrogation room.

Immediately, Li Yi reached out and wiped the prisoner's mouth, and the divinity of Pluto was activated, freezing the prisoner's tongue into a bluish-white ice cube.

The captives were stunned, feeling a sharp pain in their mouths and a chill in their brains.

Li Yi suppressed the power to a very low level this time, but he didn't expect that the opponent was seriously injured and his spirit was weak, so he couldn't protect his body at all. It seemed that this frostbite was very uncomfortable.

He immediately frowned slightly, stimulating the micro-electric properties and stimulating the tongue to prevent it from really dying, so that he wouldn't be able to ask any other questions later.

Then, Li Yi began to speak: "Your companions have already explained most of your situation. You came from the Holy Land of Nothingness with the purpose of capturing me and taking me back as the carrier of Wushan Golden Light, right?"

"Your superior, oh no, it should be said that your instructor, the mentor who led you into the True Saint Church, asked you to carry out this death mission, right?"

"You didn't expect that your meticulous plan would be discovered by us so quickly, and the starship authority you worked so hard to obtain was also quickly taken back... Oh, so that authority has nothing to do with you. It was given to you by your instructor?"

"Your instructor is really amazing. He even has the high-level authority of our Federation. It seems that the instructor probably has another disguised identity and is a high-ranking official in the Federation."

"It's just that you don't know what the instructor's disguised identity is, right? You also doubted the instructor and thought that his intentions were not pure, right?"

"It seems that you were convinced by him and moved by some of his actions. Is that why you started to believe in the True Saint Religion?"

"You are originally the descendant of a ruined powerful family in the Federation. You have inherited some characteristics of divine genes in your body, but they are not pure."

"Becoming an Evolver, and walking on this path for so many years, the original purpose was revenge, right?"

"You bought some fragments of the divine nucleus on the black market, and upgraded all the way through the compound route."

"But when you became a mid-level Evolver and had the power to take revenge, the target died? No, it seems that he didn't die, but became a high-level Evolver. You were desperate, right?"

"So, under the guidance of the mentor, you finally became a follower of the True Saint Church? And you also completely accepted the transformation of the steel seal?"

Liang Zhishen was standing aside, watching Li Yi whispering in the prisoner's ear like a devil, telling him the whole situation in a long tone, and he actually felt his scalp tingling.

Why does this kid always act like a devil who knows human nature well at this time?

Or is it that geniuses at their peak are all like demons? Is that why he felt something beyond shock and close to horror? Four or five minutes later, Li Yi finished his questioning, and the captive's expression also remained in horror, his eyes widened, bloodshot eyes burst, and his temples throbbed.

The two left the interrogation room. Liang Zhishen patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said with a wry smile:

"You are such a monster, I now doubt if I have any secrets in front of you."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, instructor. I will only use this trick against evil cults and extremely evil elements. As for ordinary people, even if I guess some secrets, I will definitely not say anything."

Liang Zhishen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said:

"What secret of mine did you find out? Can you tell me?"

Li Yi said: "Keep it a secret."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Liang Zhishen knew that Li Yi would not say it, so he sighed and asked:

"Then how did you know there was such a person as the mentor? Also, how did you know he was a ruined noble? How did you know he wanted revenge, and the target of his revenge was stronger than him?"

Li Yi said:

"First, if you want to use the mental stamp to convert others, the stronger the person is, the harder it is to convert them. You must have a stronger person, and someone who is more than one or two levels stronger, to use various psychological offensives to succeed. So, it is natural to guess such a teacher."

"Secondly, their combat capability. These two have strong combat capabilities and have obviously been through a lot of fighting. They are street-style, slippery and fierce."

"In other words, these two grew up in a similar environment to me. Moreover, this person's divine skills are relatively crude. It doesn't seem like he has been specially trained by the fleet. It seems more like he has optimized it himself using his genetic skills."

"Third, revenge was just the first keyword I guessed, and I just happened to guess it right. But the reason I guessed revenge was because this person's eyes were fierce and he seemed to be determined as if he had already had a goal. This is just a matter of luck."

Liang Zhishen nodded and said, "Okay, if the result you got from that person's micro-reaction is true, it means that the cult is obtaining living forces from the people in large quantities, and most likely has a mature operating routine. This is very dangerous, so let's attach it to our transfer intelligence."

Li Yi nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

…

After transferring the captives to the local Supervisory Department on the border star, several people began to arrange the repair of the starship.

They only brought two mechanics this time, and only one of them specialized in starship maintenance. Even if there was bionic AI to assist, the lack of materials would be a big problem.

Fortunately, the Yao Chi main ship made a fortune from the Tianshu ruins this time and was wealthy, so it readily transferred the repair money.

At this moment, in the border star master base, the small starship was sent for repairs, and a few people could only drive out the divine mecha to find a new place to stay.

Teng Juli asked:

"We've been through such a big thing, it's clearly the fault of the local cruiser, why didn't they arrange a hangar for us or something?"

Liang Zhishen said:

"They say they have arranged it, but it will take some time to make room, so now we can only move freely. But this is also good, the competition will not start for another four or five days, we can go to the space battlefield first to see if there are any alien mecha masters who have strayed here, and get familiar with them."

Teng Juli asked: "Coach Liang, can you handle it?"

Everyone had a general idea of ​​Liang Zhishen's strength. He was stronger than them, but not overwhelmingly so.

It would be unsafe for such people to take them to wander around the space battlefield.

Liang Zhishen said calmly:

"Don't worry. There are Heavenly Rank experts rotating in the space battlefield. If there are any super experts, they are probably Heavenly Rank experts. They have little to do with us."

Teng Juli scratched his head and said, "But aren't you afraid that a Heavenly Rank expert will kill us in an instant and leave calmly? In this case, even if we have a Heavenly Rank expert present, it will be useless, right?"

Liang Zhishen was stunned by the question and said, "It was fine in previous years, so it's not so bad this year..."

Teng Juli quickly interrupted Liang Zhishen and said, "Don't talk about previous years, we've already had trouble this year!"

Li Yi also said: "Coach Liang, let's wait until our base camp is settled before going out to have fun. This year is different from previous years after all, and there may be other eyes watching us."

After hearing Li Yi say the same thing, Liang Zhishen gave up.

In previous years, going to the space battlefield to kill one or two harassing alien mecha divisions was almost a routine action.

Now that I think about it, it is true. Li Yi is now the most popular of the popular people, so there is no need for him to take risks.

At that moment, several divine mechas went to an unused fighting arena in the main base and began training.

A few people can also have an actual fight between them to practice the feeling of fighting.

As a temporary place to stay, this is not bad.

Anyway, they are here to participate in the competition and don't have to take part in other regular military activities.

…

late at night.

Everyone who was resting in the cockpit suddenly heard a huge vibration.

Boom!!! Boom!!! The sound of vibration and explosion rang out one after another in an instant.

"Notice, there is a large-scale harassment by alien troops. This is a normal combat event. Mecha divisions that have not yet been assigned to the combat sequence are requested not to leave their residences or posts without permission. Regain your strength and do not worry about the combat situation outside."

"Notice, the battle will be resolved by the assigned battle sequence. Mech operators in the battle sequence that have not yet been assigned are requested not to leave their residences or posts without permission to avoid causing chaos in the battle and incorrectly marking the friend-or-foe identification system."

Announcements were heard everywhere.

Li Yi and his companions, who originally wanted to activate the divine mecha instinctively, were all stunned.

In the cockpit of the monkey suit mecha, Liang Zhishen woke up from his sleep and immediately smiled: "It seems that we are lucky. We can encounter an alien army attacking on the first day. I have been here so many times, and including this time, I have only encountered it twice in total."

"Let's take this opportunity to activate the divine mecha and remotely observe the alien's divine mecha."

"This is a rare opportunity. Quickly, everyone, turn on the long-range detection system and check the sky to see if there are any alien mechas breaking in."

Everyone immediately activated the divine mecha and started the long-range detection system as instructed.

Suddenly, on the idle mecha fighting stage, the eyes of the eleven divine mechas all lit up with scarlet light, and they looked up over the glass plate of the dome to observe the sky tens of thousands of meters away.

"I didn't find it from the location I was observing."

"Neither have I."

"I have them here. Quick, adjust the position. There are four of them."

After some conversation, everyone quickly found the divine mecha that was in battle.

A closer look at the style reveals that the aliens' divine mechas are basically no different from those commonly used by humans.

They are all the four common sequences of wind, fire, thunder and ice.

"Fuck, they really look that similar. No wonder they told us not to attack?"

Someone murmured.

Li Yi also frowned. He had always heard that the main weapons used by aliens were the same as those used by humans, which were divine mechas from ancient ruins, but he never felt it was real.

Now it’s hard to identify this enemy.

Liang Zhishen said:

"It's no use. Our technology level is far inferior to that of the ancients. If there were no aliens as an external enemy, we could certainly relax and slowly develop our own technology and develop our own style of combat weapons."

"But the aliens are eyeing us covetously, so we have no choice but to do this. But don't be afraid, all of us who need to go up to fight will be equipped with the IFF sequence code, which is designed by our experts for the information detection system. The effect is quite good."

"Just wait for the next two days for the local corps to install their friend-or-foe identification sequence system for us."

When Liang Zhishen mentioned this information detection system, it reminded Li Yi of something.

Li Yi quickly asked:

"Coach Liang, can we go and redeem the war merits in the main base?"

Liang Zhishen smiled and said, "Of course you can, but the discount on your corresponding privileges will be reduced. For some exclusive items, there will definitely be no discount at all."

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's okay. What I want is general knowledge, so there should be a discount."

What he wanted to exchange was the knowledge about analyzing information patterns.

He had thought about exchanging this thing before when he exchanged for an E-level Zanpakuken in the Battle Merit Bank.

I have tens of thousands of military merits on me, but because I had accumulated a lot of resources before, I almost forgot about this.

Now I can exchange some local specialties that are not available on the Yao Chi ship on the border star.
