Chapter 153 The fate in the dark?
Li Zhe sat in a daze on the deck chair on the balcony for a while, and Qiao Yian's call came in.
"The insect queen was revived, but their mental resistance is very strong, and the Supervision Department cannot successfully conduct mental interrogations on them. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"..."
Li Zhe thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "I don't know when the people from the temple will come. Maybe you should formally inform them of the situation in Star City."
The so-called mental interrogation is a method in which psychic superpowers use hypnosis, dreaming and other methods to forcibly obtain the mental memories of the person being interrogated. Historically, only a handful of superpowers have been able to master it.
The temple has a large number of superpowers from the spiritual system, and even has a specialized spiritual interrogation agency, so they are experts in dealing with this kind of situation.
Based on the relationship between the Supervision Department and the temple, it was appropriate to urgently ask for help at this time. However, listening to Qiao Yian's words, Li Zhe seemed to be quite hesitant about asking for help from the temple.
"Have you rested enough now? Come to the Supervision Department and I will take you to Library No. 7."
............
As soon as Li Zhe entered the gate of the Supervision Department, he felt a completely different atmosphere from the past. All the employees in the building were in a hurry. The special laziness of power agencies was gone, replaced by extreme tension and seriousness.
Li Zhe just wanted to take the special elevator to the 6th floor, but saw an old man wearing spectacles standing at the entrance of the stairs, smiling at him and waving.
Li Zhe recognized this old man as the front desk on the 6th floor. Everyone who went to see Qiao Yian had to pass by him first.
Li Zhe asked Yuan He, the gossip secretary, about the old man. However, Xiao Bao, who knew very well how to purchase vegetables in the staff restaurant of the Supervision Department, only knew that the old man was called Lin Bo and knew nothing about the rest.
Li Zhe walked over, and Lin Bo smiled gently at Li Zhe and motioned for him to follow him.
The two of them entered the passage one after another, walked down more than a dozen stairs, and came to an inconspicuous small iron door, where Qiao Yian was already waiting.
Lin Bo took out a dark key from his body and inserted it into the keyhole of the inconspicuous door.
When the small door opened, Li Zhe discovered that this small door, which looked inconspicuous, was actually an alloy door 20 centimeters thick.
After entering the door, Li Zhe smelled the unique smell of paper books. In this federal world where electronic information coverage exceeds 90%, every paper book may carry a vicissitudes of history.
This is a library with an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. The rows of bookshelves are clean and tidy, and they are obviously cleaned frequently.
But Lin Bo and Qiao Yian took Li Zhe straight through the bookshelf and came to a small iron door.
Open the door, go down the stairs, next library, next door.
Starting from the third door, Qiao Yian and Lin Bo each need to take out a black iron key and open the thicker metal door at the same time.
In the federal territory where sensor access control coverage is extremely high, this kind of heavy metal door that relies entirely on mechanical unlocking seems to have higher security.
Li Zhe followed Uncle Lin and Qiao Yian through six libraries in a row and descended seven floors before entering the final destination.
"This is Library No. 7 of the Supervision Department. You can read there for three hours. We will pick you up then."
Looking at the small library with only a few dozen square meters in front of him, smelling the old and decaying smell in the space, and thinking about the various levels he passed along the way, Li Zhe suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Did that bastard Joey Clark reveal my identity as a vampire mechanic to Qiao Yian, and then Qiao Yian deliberately found such a place and invited you to imprison me?"
Li Zhe felt the coldness on the walls of Library No. 7 and knew that even the surrounding walls were made of metal. Even if he turned into a bug, he would not be able to drill a hole out.
Li Zhe casually picked up a book on the bookshelf, opened it and read two pages at random, confirming that this was a truly ancient book, and its preciousness could not be measured by money.
Because what was recorded on it turned out to be the daily notes of a knight of the Temple of Justice Knights during the last civilization period.
"If you can't read these ancient Internet scripts, there are notes on the federal common script next to them."
Qiao Yian pointed to another book on the bookshelf and explained it to Li Zhe.
"OK, thanks!"
Li Zhe nodded, picked up the annotation book and pretended to read it, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. Uncle Lin had gone out quietly, why didn't Qiao Yian leave?
Li Zhe closed the book: "Do you have something to say to me, Minister Qiao?"
Qiao Yian pondered for a few seconds, and her eyes became clear and clear: "Although I don't like the vampires, I don't like war even more. I don't want those soldiers to die meaninglessly, and I don't want the people of the Federation to lose their relatives and wealth because of the war.
"
"But given the timing and position of the temple's appearance... it may be very necessary for a war to consolidate its position, so I hope you can uphold the chivalry's creed of justice during the investigation of this insect infiltration incident...
....find out the truth.”
Li Zhe finally understood Qiao Yian's hesitation.
He does not believe in the temple. He is afraid that in order to return to the Federation, the temple will use this insect infiltration incident to incite the hatred of the Federation people against the vampires and launch a "holy war" in which an unknown number of people will die.
So if the spiritual superpowers of the temple conduct a mental interrogation of the two insect queens, fairness will be crucial.
Li Zhe also didn't like behavior that manipulated morality for personal gain, so he told Qiao Yian with certainty: "If the vampires didn't do it on purpose, I will try my best to ensure the fairness of the investigation results and prevent and avoid war."
Qiao Yian smiled happily, nodded and turned to leave, but when closing the door, he suddenly said: "Why did the Knights of Justice become what the Supervision Department is now? You may be able to find the answer in this library.
"
........
Li Zhe was actually familiar with ancient Internet. He was reading the knight's diary from the civilization of the previous era and found that there were many inaccuracies in the annotation booklet and that a lot of sharp information was missing.
"Today I finally became a holy knight of justice. My mother sold all the things at home and asked me to use the money to carefully make friends after arriving at the Temple of War, especially those who received the gift of the gods with me.
, became friends of the temple monks.”
"Since my father's death, my family has been in decline. My mother has placed all her hopes of revitalizing the family on me, and I am willing to take on the responsibilities that a man should bear."
"The training period for trainee knights is finally over. We have learned the mysterious Ancient Integrity, the strict knight's creed, and the many restrictions in the temple."
"Tomorrow we will be assigned to a knight branch under the Knights of Justice. I gave half of the money to our knight training officer. He disliked it, but he still accepted it..."
"I have been assigned to a good knight branch. The Dika planet where I am stationed is relatively wealthy, and mob movements are not rampant. More importantly, I live in the same galaxy as my family. Taking a starship does not require interstellar jumps. A three-day vacation is enough.
You can go home and visit your mother, brother, and sister..."
"Today our knight squad received a mission to clear out a group of mobs. They didn't have any decent weapons and equipment, but they had evil fighting skills. They actually blew a hole in Chromie's armor. Poor Chromie.
Yesterday, he was still showing off to me that the village beauty who once dumped him wrote him a love letter..."
"As powerful and holy knights of justice, we naturally have to punish these disrespectful mobs. They are just like us on the surface, but they are despicable, dirty and evil in their hearts..."
"But the way Captain Wayne dealt with the mob made me uncomfortable... Since the mob was dirty, why did they touch those women?"
"Those mobs were very poor, even poorer than my previous servants. Captain Venn sold all valuable things to merchants. Captain Venn said these merchants were like hyenas following lions, and they could always smell the smell of carrion."
.”
"I got some money, which was regarded as the spoils of this clearing operation. When I saw the golden coins in my hand, I thought it would be great if there was an operation like this every few days."
"That way I can save enough money as soon as possible to redeem our family's ancestral home, so that my mother and younger brothers and sisters will not live in a low, cold house like servants in the cold season, covered with black spots.
of frostbite.”
"Perhaps my prayers worked. Our knight branch was deployed to Zelin Planet, and we lived a life where there was an action every three to five days..."
"Only after I came to Planet Zelin did I realize how there could be a mob that was endlessly killing people, how there could be such a powerful mob..."
"But no matter how crazy the mob is, in front of us with the blessing of divine power, they are just more ferocious lambs in the end."
"The money in my hand has long been enough to redeem the ancestral home. Because our squad leader died and I became the squad leader, I can get several more shares when distributing the spoils. And... I also know it.
Mob women are just like ordinary women, their skin is just as soft and their cries are just as exciting.”
"............"
It took Li Zhe a few minutes to see this, as if he saw a passionate young man, influenced by the ugliness of the world, gradually moving towards a dark and degenerate process.
Moreover, the information revealed between the lines in the diary also reveals the tyranny and dictatorship of the temple, a power institution in the last civilization period, as well as the twisted mentality of the awakened superpowers who treat civilians like ants.
Li Zhe flipped through it casually and was about to put the diary back on the bookshelf, because he did not come to Library No. 7 to look for such clues.
Information about shelters and bugs is what he needs most now.
But in the end, he flipped through it casually, and Li Zhe discovered something he didn't expect.
Li Zhe took a step back, observed the relative position between the bookshelf and himself, and calculated the several natural points of focus after his first glance when he came in from the library door just now.
After analysis and calculation, Li Zhe determined that the gap in the diary he took out from the bookshelf was the natural visual focus of a normal person after entering the library.
Just now, Li Zhe indeed randomly pulled out this diary of a civilization from the previous era from the bookshelf, but by coincidence, there was a record about "Che" on it.
