Dream Technology (10)
When I saw Number Eleven again, he had lost a lot of weight, had no wounds on his body, and was clean from head to toe. However, his mental state was very bad, half listless and half drowsy, so it took him a long time to vaguely call out Number Seven.
He looked listless, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was feeling. This showed how well Jiang Wenzhan's men had treated him during this period.
Zhuang Mingyue stood outside the interrogation room and said to Shi Jianxia beside her through the one-way glass, "This guy is a tough nut to crack. He doesn't say a word when he's awake."
Shi Jianxia smiled. "It doesn't matter whether he tells it or not. He became a pawn after being captured. The doctor won't risk saving him. And the things he knew before are probably useless now."
The doctor is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. To him, all the people in the red spider lily are chess pieces that can be discarded at any time. As long as he can make a comeback, he can create new numbers one to thirteen.
He has been hiding so well during this period, not only to recuperate from his injuries, but also probably because he felt that he needed to stay quiet for a while and wait until the storm died down before turning the Federation upside down.
If the Federation cannot find him during this period, it is only a matter of time before the red spider lily revive.
As he was speaking, Shi Jianxia suddenly asked, "How's the progress of the examination at Renxin Hospital on Tianchen Star?"
During this period, the funds and connections involved in the secret laboratory of Higanbana were thoroughly investigated by the Zerg Investigation Department. Those involved were arrested and tried, and many federal companies were closed down. It can be said that pulling out the radish brought out the mud.
Zhuang Mingyue replied, "We've thoroughly investigated. It was invested in and built by another company called Jiaxin Medical. However, that company declared bankruptcy a month ago. We've brought the relevant personnel back for interrogation and confirmed that they were involved in Zerg smuggling along with the Xia family from Canglong Star."
After this incident, the evidence of the Xia family's Zerg smuggling case on Canglong Star was solidified. No matter how wide their network of contacts was, they would be useless under the drastic measures of Marshal Jiang Wenzhan.
The families that were once on good terms with the Xia family ran away one after another, fearing that Marshal Jiang Wenzhan would think that they were also involved in Zerg smuggling and that the entire family would be investigated.
What big family doesn't have some shameful things? If everything is fine, it's fine. But if it gets out, it will at least become a family scandal. If it's serious, you will be handcuffed and brought to court.
"Is there anything else?" Shi Jianxia frowned slightly, as if the survey results did not satisfy her.
Zhuang Mingyue shook her head. "That's what we've found so far."
Shi Jianxia pondered for a moment, then asked, "I heard that the Federation and Dream Technology are collaborating on research on a semi-parasitic resuscitation medical cabin. How's the progress?"
The topic suddenly jumped from the red spider lily to the semi-parasitic resuscitation medical cabin. Zhuang Mingyue was a little confused. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I want to know the relevant information about their chief researcher Hua Beichen." Shi Jianxia said.
"Hua Beichen..." Zhuang Mingyue silently recited the name, vaguely feeling that it sounded familiar.
Soon, she remembered the relevant information and asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with him?"
"I do have this suspicion, but it's just my intuition and I don't have any evidence." Shi Jianxia spread his hands.
Hua Beichen is the director of Renxin Hospital, where an insect plague broke out on Canglong Star. Apart from that, there seems to be nothing suspicious. However, Shi Jianxia always thinks of the poster he saw in the parking lot of the Shuiyuan Star Chamber of Commerce Building before.
The Xia family of Shuiyuanxing, who were also researching semi-parasitic body resuscitation technology, were targeted by Higanbana, who used threats and inducements to force the Xia family of Shuiyuanxing to become part of their gang.
There is no reason why Dream Technology, which has cooperated with the Federation and has made some progress on the project, can remain calm.
Given the doctor's personality, he will definitely contact Dream Technology. As for what kind of response Dream Technology will give, Shi Jianxia cannot make a judgment based on his subjective ideas.
Speculation without evidence is not convincing. As a mature senior investigator, Zhuang Mingyue naturally cannot easily believe in intuition, but the person who makes the judgment is Shi Jianxia.
She has been in Higanbana for ten years and has had contact with the doctor for much longer than anyone else. Even if there is no sufficient evidence, her suspicions should be investigated.
Moreover, having a clear direction of investigation is always better than being completely in the dark and not knowing where to start. In extraordinary times, anyone may become a suspect.
Zhuang Mingyue was about to agree when she suddenly thought of something and raised her eyebrows slightly. "If I remember correctly, you have a good friend who is the son of the chairman of Dream Technology, right?"
Regarding Shi Jianxia's interpersonal relationships, various forces have been thoroughly investigated during this period. Yuan Huai and others are her close friends after she entered the Nanteng Military Academy, so they were naturally listed as key targets of investigation.
Shi Jianxia nodded.
After she returned to Nan Teng Star from the Capital Star, she contacted Yuan Huai. He had recently followed his mentor to participate in an exchange meeting of the Martial Arts Association and was not on Nan Teng Star.
She thought about it carefully and decided not to tell him about this for the time being. On the one hand, it was to avoid him worrying, and on the other hand, she was afraid that if Dream Technology really had a connection with the red spider lily, Yuan Huai, whether he was an insider or not, would inevitably contact his father after knowing about this, which would easily alert the enemy.
Zhuang Mingyue could probably guess the interests involved and didn't say much.
The two of them temporarily ended the topic, and at this time Assistant Li came back with a large quantity of insect crystals retrieved from the warehouse of Linhai Isolation Station.
Shi Jianxia took over the heavy space bracelets, and his originally calm mood suddenly became a little nervous.
Of course, he was not nervous about Number 11, but because of the possible outcome of this attempt.
If the [Immortal Gods] alone cannot help No. 11 escape the control of the Jade Card, Bai Xiaojiu, Dad, No. 10, No. 4... will all be controlled by the Doctor, and all the advantages she has now will turn into disadvantages.
Zhuang Mingyue knew how many insect crystals Assistant Li had brought back, and half-jokingly and half-sighed, "I have to say, your mimicry is a complete 'crystal swallower'."
The insect vortex clearing operation lasted for half a month, and the entire process was broadcast live to the public. The cubs did not hide their ability to devour insect crystals at all, and ate with open stomachs. Now almost everyone in the federation knows how terrifying the ability of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to consume insect crystals is.
Many people lamented that if the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did not have the help of the Federation, it would be difficult to advance to the extraordinary level. Many jokes were derived from this, which was very interesting.
Some people even suggested opening a reward channel in the live broadcast room, saying that they want to raise the cubs online and contribute to their growth.
The pictures of the kids in the live broadcast room swallowing insect crystals were also cut out and made into various cute emoticons.
Not only that, people who like the kids have established a "Classic of Mountains and Seas" fan club, and posted various photos of the kids on the Star Network topic. Topics related to "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have almost become a gathering place for the public to attract kids. Some people have also called on Shi Jianxia to open a "kids cafe", which will definitely make him a lot of money.
Shi Jianxia shrugged helplessly, "I can't afford it anymore anyway."
It was a good thing that the Classic of Mountains and Seas was exposed. The Federation used the treasury to help her raise her cubs, so she didn't need to sneak to the Linhai quarantine zone late at night and hunt the Zerg against the clock.
After a simple joke, Shi Jianxia pushed open the door of the interrogation room.
Number Eleven's head was shaved off, leaving only a bald crew cut. His hands and feet were cuffed with special handcuffs. He sat on the interrogation chair with his head lowered and his eyes distracted.
Shi Jianxia glanced at him twice, put the heavy space bracelets in a row, and then summoned the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The black and gold book was simple and mysterious, emitting a faint golden glow from the cover to the spine. The pages flipped and stopped at the page where the [Immortal Kingdom] was located.
As the level of [Undead Kingdom] increases, the cooldown time of [Undead Gods] also shortens.
On the open pages, the introductory text related to the [Immortal Kingdom] seemed to be infused with mysterious power, and every word was wrapped in a light golden light.
Under Shi Jianxia's control, the effects of [Immortal Gods] immediately covered No. 11, and shallow energy ripples that were invisible to the naked eye appeared around him.
Number 11's depressed mental state was greatly alleviated by the power of the [Immortal Gods], and his physical fatigue was swept away in an instant. He blinked, obviously a little unresponsive to what had happened.
Shi Jianxia didn't care about his reaction and took out a palm-sized transparent small box from the space bracelet. Inside was the jade token belonging to No. 11.
The jade pendant is warm, smooth and translucent. If someone who doesn’t know its function sees it, they would probably think it is a rare and beautiful jade.
Shi Jianxia handed the small box to No. 11, shook it gently, and asked, "Do you recognize this?"
Number Eleven was staring at the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" floating in the air in a daze. After hearing her words, he turned his head in a flash. When his eyes touched the jade plate in the small box, his pupils suddenly dilated after regaining focus.
In front of Jiang Wenzhan, he was an ant that could be crushed to death at will. After being seriously injured, he was naturally unable to protect the jade token that was as important as his life.
He thought the interrogator would threaten him with the Jade Card, or that the doctor would learn that he had failed his mission and was captured, and control the Jade Card to take his life.
Number Eleven didn't know how long he had been captured, but he could vaguely feel that a long time had passed and he had always been safe and sound.
When he was conscious, he wondered if the doctor was reluctant to take his life easily, so the knife hanging over his head never fell.
Or maybe the doctor got into trouble during the Federation's crackdown, and was temporarily unaware of his capture, which allowed him to survive until now...
But no matter which guess it was, he felt that he was lucky to be still alive.
How could he still be alive?
The moment this thought arose, No. 11's numb mind seemed to be injected with some power, and he raised his hand to snatch the small box that was so close to him.
Unfortunately, he was extremely weak now and was handcuffed by a special bracelet, so it was impossible for him to get the jade token back.
Shi Jianxia slowly withdrew his hand, and No. 11's hand fell empty.
Hearing the crisp sound of the bracelet hitting the interrogation table, she looked down at No. 11, whose eyes gradually became fierce, like a god looking down on the world, compassionate and indifferent.
"I can help you break free from the control of the Jade Card."
It was a short sentence, but the pronunciation was very clear. Number Eleven heard it clearly. His pupils contracted sharply, as if he had been greatly shocked.
Shi Jianxia didn't care what he was thinking and directly activated the self-destruct device inside the small box.
Invisible energy impacts pressed towards the jade plate stored in the small box from all directions. The translucent and warm white jade plate immediately began to show a layer of fine and dense cracks, but in the blink of an eye it shattered into countless pieces.
In shock, No. 11 felt as if someone had picked up a huge hammer and smashed it on his head mercilessly.
The intense pain instantly eroded his nerves. He suddenly raised his handcuffed hands to cover his head, and let out painful growls like a trapped beast.
The interrogator in charge of observation was afraid that he would bite off his tongue in pain, so he quickly took out the cotton cloth prepared in advance and stuffed it into his mouth, but he almost bit it.
Shi Jianxia held the small box tightly, took a step back, and stared at No. 11's reaction intently, sweat unconsciously oozing from his palms.
At this time, No. 11's spiritual power spring became fragmented due to the shattering of the jade card, but the power of the [Immortal Kingdom] was supporting his spiritual power spring and trying to heal it.
The two forces pulled at each other, and Shi Jianxia had personally experienced the pain that was.
At this point, she no longer had any thoughts of torturing No. 11 and only prayed that the experiment would be successful.
The huge interrogation room was extremely dull, with only No. 11 groaning softly from the unbearable pain.
The pain of having one's soul torn apart will not disappear in a short time, and No. 11 may even die in this pain.
Shi Jianxia Wei pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze, turning to observe the consumption of insect crystals in the space bracelet.
No. 11's mimicry combat level is level eight, which is the same as the [Immortal Kingdom], and the space bracelet is also filled with level eight insect crystals.
Shi Jianxia wanted to observe how many insect crystals of the same level would be needed for the [Immortal Country] to save No. 11's life, and whether higher-level insect crystals would have a better effect.
Her expression gradually changed from nervousness to indifference. Others thought she didn't care about No. 11's life or death, but only she knew how fast her heart was beating in her chest.
Number Eleven kicked the chair over in pain and fell to the ground, twitching weakly like a dying fish.
The interrogator carefully observed and recorded the situation, making sure not to overlook any details and striving to ensure the safety of others when destroying the jade token next time.
Three extraordinary strong men with high-level healing mimicry are also paying close attention to his current condition, so that they can come to the rescue in case the power of the [Immortal Kingdom] is exhausted.
Time passed minute by minute, and the space bracelets were empty one after another. When the seventh bracelet was completely empty, No. 11's wailing gradually subsided. It was not known whether the pain had eased or he had become numb from the pain.
He was lying on his back on the ground, looking like he had just been pulled out of the water. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and his gray-black pupils reflected the bright light in the interrogation room. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, Shi Jianxia would have thought he had died from the pain.
The black and golden light surrounding the Classic of Mountains and Seas expanded and contracted like breathing, and the speed was much slower than before.
When the last layer of energy film wrapped around No. 11's spiritual power spring, he took a deep breath, and his pupils, which were almost dilated due to pain, slowly turned and fell on Shi Jianxia.
One of the extraordinary warriors sensed the changes in his body and exclaimed in surprise, "It worked! His spiritual power source was just completely shattered, but now it has been repaired and is rapidly returning to its original state. His spiritual power and mimicry are intact!"
This is incredible!
Based on current human research on the spiritual power spring, even high-level therapeutic mimicry can only repair minor injuries. In cases of complete destruction like this, there is no possibility of cure with current medical means.
Zhuang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and gave a sincere smile.
The experiment is successful. Number Ten, who surrendered voluntarily in order to escape the control of the Jade Card, will no longer turn against the Doctor. There is also a possibility that Number Three and Four will be won over.
Shi Jianxia listened to the whispered conversations of the people around her and slowly loosened her tightly clenched fists. She met the gaze of No. 11 and smiled faintly.
Success!
Number Eleven stared at the smile on her lips in the dim light, not knowing what she was thinking.
One of them was lying and the other was standing. Although they were not far apart, it seemed like they were separated by a whole world. The sound of their conversation came into his ears, and Shadow No. 11 understood what had just happened.
He moved his fingers and tried to get up from the ground, but his weak body was not enough to support him to make any movement.
Number Seven... Doctor...
Number Eleven silently repeated these four words in his heart.
Shi Jianxia had no time to care about what he was thinking. He turned around and was about to talk to Zhuang Mingyue when a quick prompt sound suddenly rang out from the intelligent computer.
Beep, beep, there are several messages coming one after another.
Shi Jianxia now only wanted to go over the experimental process carefully and summarize as soon as possible the things that needed to be paid attention to in order to destroy the Jade Plate again. He had no time to talk about other things.
She was just about to mute her smart brain when another message popped up. Seeing the sender's nickname, Shi Jianxia was stunned.
It’s Yuan Huai.
Didn't you say you were busy and tired at the exchange meeting? Why did you think of sending him a message?
She thought about it, temporarily suppressed the joy in her heart, and walked out of the interrogation room to check the news.
The intelligent brain unfolded and a dialog box popped up impatiently.
[Chaebol heir: Xia Xia, where are you? I have something to tell you!]
