On the fourth floor of the resettlement area, there is a temporary interrogation room at a certain stronghold of the Icarus Liberation Front.
Jiang Zhou raised the tattered black box on the table and asked again to the guy in front of him who was cut into a human stick:
"Tell me, where did you get this thing from?"
This guy's name was found to be Shi Luren. He was a senior member of the Lobe Gang and played a role similar to a military advisor in the gang.
In the past three years, he has assisted three gang bosses, and on average he has sent away one gang boss a year.
Based on his previous performance, Jiang Zhou concluded that this person was definitely the real controller hiding behind the so-called "gang boss".
However, he was not interested in the power struggle within the Lobe Gang.
The opponent's ability to control other people's bodies, which he had previously demonstrated in battle, was his real focus.
The organization's technical department briefly identified the black box before the interrogation, and basically could only confirm that it was a salvaged product from the Abyss Dark Web...
Or to put it another way, there is nothing famous about it.
"As I said, this is the transformation permission obtained from an abyss wanderer, Depth 2..."
Shi Luren said, unconsciously looking away.
"This plasma bomb was installed after the fact."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhou opened the black box and dug out something the size of an AA battery from the complicated wiring inside.
"It is not integrated with this black box. It is more like a self-destruction device that ensures the destruction of evidence. This is not the quality that the Abyss Wanderer would sell to you. Can you explain?"
Shi Luren was silent.
"Did Pluto Diving Company give you this?"
Shi Luren lowered his head directly.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhou put down all the things, and then spread his hands towards the other party, as if he had lost his patience:
"In other words, there is no need to talk about it at all?"
These words were like an ultimatum, which made Shi Luren raise his head in disgust.
He looked at the guy in front of him who had cut himself into a stick, and said excitedly:
"Did we have to talk before? What is the name of Icarus's World Wide Web channel, Nord Voice of Justice? I have followed and watched the public trials you held on it, and I know your style of conduct. .After falling into your hands, do you think I don’t know what my final outcome will be?
"Or do you dare to promise me now that as long as I tell what I know, I will be given a lighter sentence? But disgusting hypocrites like you, can you do it? If you can't, then... If you ask me what one plus one equals, I won’t even answer half a word.”
After saying that, the other party turned his head away again.
"Such a scumbag actually wants amnesty."
At this time, Booker's voice came from Jiangzhou's communication channel.
"Then it's impossible to really agree to his conditions, right?"
In the channel, the head of the organization's publicity department asked.
"How is it possible? People at all levels underground in the resettlement area are now panicked. We are determined to publicly try and execute the top leaders of the Lobotomy Gang on the Nord Voice of Justice channel."
Booker said.
"Then what if he really doesn't say anything?"
the head of publicity asked worriedly.
"We have testimony from other gang members about the Lobotomy gang colluding with Pluto to go deep. It's just that those people don't know the details. Whether he admits it or not doesn't mean much, and although it's not direct evidence, we do have physical evidence. "
Booker was referring to the black box and the plasma bomb inside.
"But in this case, we will not be able to obtain relevant information about this box. If we cannot formulate corresponding countermeasures, we will still be passive in the future."
Jiang Zhou spoke in the channel.
Of course, that's what he said, but what he was actually more concerned about was the origin of the device that could control other people's bodies.
"Then there is nothing we can do about it. It is written in the organization's program that we cannot use torture to extract confessions, and we cannot be brought to the same moral level as our enemies."
Booker's voice sounded helpless.
Jiang Zhou was silent for a moment, and then said in the channel:
"Give me room permissions and let me try again."
Jiang Zhou waited for about half a minute, and with a beep, he gained access to the interrogation room.
After exiting the communication channel, Jiang Zhou looked at Shi Luren who looked like a tough guy and said:
"You dare to speak like this because you are sure that we will not use cruel methods to force you to tell what you know. We will not build a virtual fantasy for you like a company and let you experience all kinds of extremely rich things inside. Creative torture; it will not be like your lobe gang, sawing open a person’s skull alive, and then using electrodes to stimulate the brain areas that can make people feel extreme pain.
"Although you called us a bunch of hypocrites, you understand that we are rare good people in this crazy world. You know that we will not torture you like that, so you become tough in front of us, and that's why you dare to continue to raise your fundamentals even more. Not worthy of the conditions.”
Shi Luren sneered, but did not refute.
Jiang Zhou ignored him and continued:
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, if you tell me everything you know. Not only will those things not be able to get you a pardon, but they will become evidence about you in the subsequent public trial, which will only make you more innocent. "
"Since there are no conditions to negotiate, then I will..."
Shi Luren said with a cold face.
"Don't be impatient."
Jiang Zhou interrupted, and then used his authority to control the door of the interrogation room to open.
"Look there."
He pointed to the next room and said:
"There are a total of twelve members of the Lobe Gang imprisoned in that room. They were all captured by us after you attacked Chiron's House. Now I give you a chance to choose. You can choose to let you know Tell us everything, and then go to trial in about two weeks. In the end, I think there is a high probability that you will be shot to end your criminal life.
"Or, I will send you to that room and let you stay with my old subordinates for twenty-four hours."
Shi Luren looked at Jiang Zhou with confusion.
"Many of them have committed crimes that are not as serious as yours. If they can redeem their crimes and make meritorious deeds, they might be able to save their lives. And I will remind them of this and tell them that now We're struggling with something. Then I might accidentally leave a bone saw or a stun machine or something in a room, and the security cameras in that room would be offline for twenty-four hours."
When Jiang Zhou spoke, his face was full of smiles.
At this moment, Shi Lunin felt that the guy with the punk hair in front of him looked more like a madman than when he was fighting in the basement before.
"you this……"
"correct."
Jiang Zhou interrupted again, then he pointed at his eyes and said:
"Don't think they have any affection for you. To be honest, I don't believe that someone in the organ trading business would have such a thing. And even if there is, after they watch what I recorded, you will control it through that black box After the video of watching the corpse of his teammate, it probably disappeared.
"Maybe they'll want to know what that thing is more than we do, who knows?"
Jiang Zhou stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door of the interrogation room, he turned his head slightly and said:
"I'll be back in ten minutes. I hope you have the answer by then."
…………
The distance between the temporary interrogation room and the conference room is about the distance of two children's songs at walking speed.
When Jiang Zhou opened the door, Booker happened to come out and almost bumped into him.
"That bastard did it."
This was Booker's first words after seeing Liao Qi.
Then he continued:
"This method is great, how did you come up with it?"
In response, Jiang Zhou shrugged and then said:
"The experience of the low-income people on the street is that if a person is not afraid of you, then you have to find someone who will be afraid of you."
After speaking, he asked curiously:
"Then what did he say?"
Booker nodded and said:
"I'm just talking about some general details for now - that black box is a deep web technology at level 2, called the Puppet Loop. It is also a necessary component of the upgrade path Theseus."
Theseus?
When Jiang Zhou heard this name, his heart trembled.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
"Then does he know who the person in the company is contacting him?"
Jiang Zhou continued to ask.
Booker shook his head and said:
"The other party has not disclosed his identity, but Shi Luren guesses that it is most likely the guy who proposed to establish an intelligent control center in the underground level of the resettlement area."
"That guy?"
"Former Nord Resettlement Area Manager, Ye Qian."
Jiang Zhou was immediately stunned.
It couldn't just be such a coincidence...
