provincial capital.
Mountain villa.
Crozier and Greina sat quietly on the sofa in the living room of the villa.
On the coffee table opposite the sofa, a projection device is ready, projecting a prompt screen that is waiting for connection.
Across the screen are He Mo, holding a cup of coffee, sitting with his feet up in a very casual posture on another sofa, and Ma Wenyu standing behind He Mo.
Behind them are two fully armed mechanical warriors.
At this time, Crozier and Grena, of course, already knew... the true identity of the human woman who had been their "guide" for three days - she was a human with special, even extremely high abilities. One of the rights holders.
And recalling what he had experienced in the past few months, especially when he once again saw He Mo appearing in front of him in such a superior posture that clearly "has everything under control", Crozier felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart. .
And since he... has already become ridiculous... Grena can't bear it even more.
She almost stared at He Mo, and the "friendly" and even "submissive" scenes shown by this human woman when she just arrived at Blue Star flashed before her eyes - it was this scene that made her mistakenly think that the other person was just A small waiter role...
Coupled with the constant "downgrade" treatment in the past few months, and the constant change of identity... she finally couldn't hold it back. After taking a deep breath, she stared at He Mo coldly and said, "Ms. He."
"Say." He Mo's posture did not change, he just raised his chin towards Grena.
"If we talk about the previously recorded videos, you can still check and force us to say words that are against our will, but the instant messaging that is about to be connected...are you sure you can still force us?" Grena stared at He coldly. Mo: "Or do you think that as civilized people of the Holy Empire, they will truly succumb to a barbaric race that talks about civilization but practices barbaric behavior?"
As soon as Grena finished speaking, Crozier immediately turned to look at her. Pheromones swarmed out, warning Grena to stay calm.
"I can't calm down!" Grena waved her hand instantly, leaned forward suddenly, and stared at He Mo: "Do you think that just because you are sitting here, we have to do what you want?"
He Mo, who was opposite, seemed to be startled for a moment, then tilted her head. Gradually, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Miss Grena, can I take it that you are threatening me?"
"You can think so." Grena breathed heavily, a look of determination quickly flashed in her eyes, and then filled with endless contempt and provocation: "I know your system response and system control are very fast, and now the entire room Everything is under your surveillance - even from the moment we step onto your spaceship, our every move, including bathing, sleeping and going to the toilet, is all under your surveillance."
"But... if I don't cooperate with you, how should you explain to Liana?"
"That's enough! Grena! Calm down!"
Crozier couldn't bear it any longer. He scolded Grena hard and nodded slightly to He Mo to apologize.
At the same time, his pheromones continued to surge, persuading Grena, who was clearly unable to control herself.
He... could probably understand why Grena's mentality collapsed on the eve of meeting Liana - in fact, he was also on the verge of collapse.
But... no matter what, no matter what real information is sent to Liana, the prerequisite is to see Liana.
Now, pointlessly offending humans is counterproductive.
Gradually, Greina calmed down, leaving only breathing heavily and staring at He Mo.
And He Mo always maintained a smile that could even be called "weird" in response to Grena's eyes.
After a while, He Mo took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a message with his thumb twitching.
Crozier frowned deeply when he saw this, but he didn't know why. There was only a huge doubt in his heart that he couldn't solve.
So, he could only wait quietly for the communication to be connected.
…
The moon, the Taiyue combat center.
Ye Ming's right hand gently slid over the message, and then he saw the text sent by He Mo - "The female alien seems to have collapsed. In this state, does Aita need to take over the entire process?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Ming quickly called up the monitor on the display screen and looked back at a short period of the previous scene. After a moment, he exhaled slowly.
"Are you feeling emotional?" Director Niu, who was sitting opposite him, asked with a smile while raising his phone: "For this female Imperial?"
"I can understand why her mentality is broken. To be honest... your mental torture at CNY is quite inhumane."
Director Niu smiled and shrugged: "For the enemy, it's good not to be in prison."
"If it were me, I would definitely go to jail." Ye Ming said, pulling on the camera, and after thinking about it, he said softly: "You don't have to connect the whole process, you can still follow the established plan, but if the female prisoner comes up, Just go crazy... Then... let Aita judge for herself."
"Tell me, if these two imperial prisoners knew that we had the ability to completely fake their tone, expression, and body shape to talk to their tribesmen... what would they think?"
"There will be despair." Ye Ming replied without hesitation: "After despair, there are two results, either a complete collapse and telling us everything you know. Or the heart is still, and you want to die - in fact, we don't want this bet. Both of them are still useful.”
Director Niu pondered for a moment and then nodded immediately.
Frankly speaking, the value of these two Imperial people... is almost the same.
Through various what Ye Ming calls "mental torture", coupled with the deciphering of the pheromone exchange between the two and mutual verification, humans have almost obtained everything they want - especially the social operating mechanism of the empire and their identities. Information that can be known, especially some "common sense" that has been circulating for a long time.
Yes, to understand a civilization, "common sense" is actually the most important.
For example - to understand China, what do you need to know most?
It's palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses.
Now, Aita has simulated a rough society of the Holy Empire through monitoring and reviewing the two people, as well as the written reports of the other party.
Of course, I have already figured out the expressions, tone, and even voices of the two people.
It can be said that it doesn't matter whether there are these two people - Aita can handle everything.
But CNY finally decided to let the two people appear in person to communicate with Liana in real time.
It's just...in order to prevent uncontrollable phenomena from occurring, the data sent by humans will be reviewed by Aita - once it fails, Aita will intervene instantly and disguise the data to take over the communication. This is why He Mo is so relieved.
And why should this decision be made?
The biggest reason is that these two people are useful.
These two are the first to witness and come into contact with humans, and they are very likely to be the only "Holy Empire people" that humans can capture for countless years to come... Humans have enough time to brainwash them. and enlightenment.
Human civilization is, after all, an advanced civilization that makes sense!
At this moment, Aita's voice suddenly sounded.
"The jump is complete."
"Enemy warship detected."
"The enemy ship requests boarding inspection."
Ye Ming and Director Niu looked at each other, and they nodded at the same time.
The next moment, the light curtain lowered from the ceiling, and the sensors of the reconnaissance communication ship began to transmit back images of the Frost Galaxy.
In the picture, countless warships were densely gathered in front, and three spaceships were quickly approaching.
Farther away, two stars complement each other, illuminating the entire galaxy.
Very far behind the battleship group, a silver-covered planet floats quietly in the sky. In the orbit of the planet, stands a huge space castle. In the orbit, countless spaceships are constantly coming and going.
This is the Frost Star in Gloria's mouth.
One of the five servant stars, it has a huge main battleship production base.
Ye Ming slowly withdrew his gaze from the Frost Star, and then landed on the landing craft that was about to land on the reconnaissance ship. After a moment, he smiled softly.
"It seems that the enemy is not stupid. They hope to take this opportunity to explore and verify our spacecraft and technology up close."
"I think they are a bit stupid." Director Niu stared at the landing craft with a hint of ridicule on his lips: "They don't know that power is mutual. They come to check us, and we are actually checking them."
"Haha, that's true."
At this time, Aita's voice sounded again.
"Received handshake message, do you accept it?"
The two looked at each other, and then Director Niu answered in a deep voice.
"Accept handshake."
The next second, Gloria's face appeared on the screen, but after a moment, the screen rotated and then focused on Liana.
Ye Ming was slightly startled, but only for a moment, and he breathed out softly.
It seems that this Blue Star girl's spy work...is really good.
…
Frost Galaxy.
Lianna leaned forward slightly and stared intently at Crozier and Grenadier on the flat communicator - she knew full well that these two people were behind bars, so she directly initiated the signal connection without waiting for the check to be completed.
After all, the purpose of inspecting human spacecraft is more to obtain information about human spacecraft - this is a super-fast human spacecraft that can enter the interior for inspection at close range. It is of great help to understand human technology, and it can also Convince the opposition to complete this "exchange."
"Greina, Crozier? How are you?"
Before she could finish her voice, Grena rushed over instantly, and at the same time, she shouted almost heartbreakingly: "Anna! Help us!"
Listening to Grena's cry, Lianna clenched her fists instantly!
"Greina, don't cry, don't cry, what happened to you humans? Did they use torture on you? Or did they force you?"
Grena's crying continued: "I miss home, I miss the pineapples and windmills in my hometown, but humans won't let us go... They said that unless the Legion withdraws from the entire super galaxy group and gives up bases 31 and 32, otherwise ...We will never be allowed to go home!"
Grena was crying, and Crozier gently held Grena's hand, looking like she was crying.
Seeing this, Liana closed her eyes for a moment, took two deep, heavy breaths, and a flash of pain flashed through her heart.
Now...the Supreme Council has raised the execution event to level 0 and launched a war against humanity...
This is the first time in thousands of years.
Under such circumstances, how could one give up for two imprisoned Imperial citizens?
But... facing the two crying people, she still couldn't refuse them directly, so she could only nod vigorously: "Don't worry, the Supreme Council, the Legion, the Seer Academy, and the Enlightenment Association will do their best to let you go home! "
Crozier on the opposite side hesitated to speak, and finally remained silent, leaving only Greina nodding and crying.
After a while, Crozier finally looked up at Liana: "Senior Anna, are the cherry blossoms in my hometown blooming?"
"opened."
"Thank you, thank you to the Supreme Council and the Legion. We are fine here, and humans have not done anything wrong..."
…
…
Provincial capital, mountain villa.
Grena was still staring at the projected image.
No, to be precise, she was staring at He Mo behind the projection!
"Humans are a dirty, inferior race!"
"They broke their word and said we were envoys, but in fact, we were prisoners!"
Grena's words were like a knife, her actions were like madness, and she completely ignored Crozier beside her.
"At the beginning, I was still worried about human civilization, and wanted to save this civilized ethnic group as much as possible and let their race continue... Now, I only feel extremely regretful and annoyed!"
"Destroy them! We must destroy them!"
After Grena finished speaking, her whole body felt like she had drank a bowl of refreshing spirits. She gasped and looked at He Mo provocatively.
He Mo just frowned slightly and looked at her coldly.
In the picture, Liana was also frowning, looking at them with a look that she didn't know how to describe.
When Grena finally finished speaking, Liana sighed slowly, and finally let out a soft "hmm".
"Greina, calm down." Crozier finally looked away from the screen. He stretched out his hand, held Grena's hand tightly, and then slowly stood up.
In the screen, Liana's voice came: "Croz, are you leaving?"
"Yes, Miss Aita."
Crozier took a step forward and turned the projection equipment upside down.
After a moment, he stared at He Mo who was looking at him in surprise and took a deep breath.
"Miss He Mo, can human technology already achieve this level of complete simulation?"
After his words fell, Grena looked up instantly.
All she saw was that He Mo touched the earphones lightly.
After a moment, He Mo nodded slowly.
"Yes, sir, as you wish."
Crozier opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out at this moment.
He only felt...a bitterness that instantly flooded his entire mouth.
Just as he thought!
That means...human beings can completely use virtual "them" to talk to Liana and the Holy Empire.
He and Grena... are completely done, it doesn't matter anymore!
A...huge despair filled his entire body.
