Chapter 44
Chapter 43 The truth is revealed
This path is quiet, and Su Yiqing likes it very much.
He often walks this road alone, because Ji Yao always dislikes it too far.
Su Yiqing heard that the area of the base on the previous drawings was four times as large as it is now. Later, the military department temporarily changed its mind and reduced its scale. Therefore, none of the things planned to be built on the “forest” were built, only a few. The building, where several departments were there before, is now completely abandoned, without any important facilities.
Even the monitoring system did not care about this forest.
There was only one person over there, Imos, who was a cryptanalyst.
That guy is really a weird guy, and he goes crazy from time to time. Su Yiqing is in his forties or fifties. Su Yiqing doesn’t know it very well. He always wears traditional clothes that don’t know where he is. He has very long hair, and he has a beard all over his head. It’s also long and knotted, and both the hair and the beard are dirty. When I was outside, I always held a thick book. I turned it through when I was eating and when I was walking. Sometimes when I was tired, I would lie on the ground with my legs crossed, as if I was asleep. He was often dumbfounded, but he would suddenly roar and scream, and hurried back to the house.
He used to be a professor in the Department of Mathematics in the best university in the empire, and later he also worked part-time to break the code for the military department, but because his madness became more and more serious, the school and the empire both asked him to go to the hospital to concentrate on treatment-meaning Leave him alone, because he will interfere with others.
Imos stayed in the hospital for a while, and had to solve the password when he was hospitalized. Various formulas were written on the wall, and he was forcibly isolated in the ward by the hospital. Later, because his condition did not improve at all, his family picked him up again.
Darrell sent an invitation to Imos after he returned home, and the military department had no special opinions on this. Darrell has always been a maverick. He only looks at his talents and doesn’t care about other things at all. The request to receive Wu Qiao and Sheng Chongguang is the most typical example. The strange thing is that after Imos came, the madness was a lot better than when he was in the hospital. When he was awake, it accounted for most of it, only occasionally he became very mad. Considering his illness, as well as his own solitary character and willingness to be isolated from the world, Darrell arranged him at the end of the woods, separated from others. Only a robot nurse stayed with him and took care of him. The staff will subdue him and send him to the infirmary in the event of an accident. However, so far, the situation requiring coercive measures has only happened once.
Su Yiqing walked along the road locally.
There are no stars that reflect light like the moon around this planet, so the woods are so dark that it is really outrageous, no wonder the people in the base will never come over at night. The light from a distance can shine a little, but it is so weak that even fireflies can laugh at it.
There is not much extreme weather on this planet, but the rain is scarce, the growth of the trees is very poor, and the old dry branches and leaves are withered.
That “little stream” has long since dried up, because no one takes care of it all year round, only the dead branches fall in it, revealing a breath of death.
Su Yiqing sighed.
He said that this place is beautiful, but in fact it is only compared with other places in the base, in fact, no matter how beautiful it is.
The wind blew over, and there was only a little sound.
“…” Su Yiqing thought, how could Ji Yao be so sensitive and caring? Is it true that as long as you lie to someone once and a half, that person will never believe you? Now, no matter how much Su Yiqing explained, Ji Yao felt that he was lying.
Sometimes Su Yiqing really wanted to beat Ji Yao and tell him that there was nothing wrong, so that Ji Yao never dared to mention it again, but he couldn’t do that.
It would be great if Ji Yao was like Wu Qiao, Su Yiqing thought: No matter what Wu Qiao said, he would immediately believe it, very simple.
As he walked, Su Yiqing suddenly heard a sound in front of him.
“…?”
At first, he thought he was hearing a hallucination.
Who will come here in the middle of the night?
However, there seemed to be some faint voices.
Su Yiqing came closer.
The voice gradually became clearer.
“You…you…” Su Yiqing heard a man’s nervous voice.
“Hi, it’s so late, why are you going?” This was another man’s voice.
“You…you…” The first man’s teeth rattled, but he didn’t say a word.
“Why do you look like this? You seem to be afraid of me?”
“…”
“I see.” The second man slapped his palm. “You are going to inform you, right? You never go out at night. You must have something in a hurry.”
“…”
“Now that I see the whistleblower, I become nervous. Right, Imos?”
Imos?
Su Yiqing thought: Yes, it’s Imos.
He hadn’t dealt with Imos much, so he didn’t recognize the voice just now, but think about it, he was the only one who lived there.
If it was Imos, the dialogue would make sense.
Imos didn’t go out at night, so he only studied the numbers. Going out at this moment, there must be something important.
Su Yiqing has heard that Imos likes to talk face-to-face in everything. He is a password **** himself, so he has always had a sense of distrust in communications, and always felt that he would be monitored by the enemy, so he personally approached Darrell whenever he had anything to do, and even called Darrell out to talk.
Today, he should also have something to report… Just as the other party said, is he going to tell someone in the past?
But, what’s the secret?
“…” Su Yiqing’s heart shuddered.
Could it be… that traitor? !
Could it be that Imos is in charge of investigating the traitor?
Imos, he… realized from a certain conversation between the soldiers and the outside world that those words actually have another meaning? Is the truth about leaking information in the name of contacting relatives and friends? Then, he found out who this person was? Just when he was about to report to Darrell, he found out that this person was standing outside his door? !
“Hey…” The man who was talking to Imos sighed, “I wasn’t sure you were investigating me, but you were afraid to be like this when you saw me, all fools understand what’s wrong.”
You are stupid, Imos, Su Yiqing thought: I can’t even pretend!
It seems that the original traitor-assuming he was a traitor, is not certain that Emos found him, but when Emos saw his legs trembling, the other party naturally knew everything.
What is difficult to install? Su Yiqing really hates it for indisputable…
He thought: This kind of nerd has low EQ. A person with normal professional training, no, just a very ordinary person, it will not fail to be so revealing.
Su Yiqing completely forgot that “pretending” is the easiest thing for him, but it is not the case for others.
After hearing a few more words, Su Yiqing still couldn’t remember who the other voice was.
It sounds familiar, but I just can’t remember it.
What kind of memory… Su Yiqing is anxious: Who the **** is it? !
This kind of feeling that the more I listen to, the more familiar, but I can’t remember it, can really make people die.
At this time, a third person’s voice came from inside the woods: “Yes, who said no? We are just very wary of you, so I came to watch you. I saw you running out in a hurry, so I asked him to come and see how to respond It’s something. I didn’t expect… We just greeted you, and you were completely frozen there.”
After a pause, he said again: “Now…I don’t want to kill you anymore, because you have already known about our leaked information.”
“…!!!” Su Yiqing thought, as expected, that’s it!
But…is there another person?
Su Yiqing’s hand holding the gun hesitated a bit.
Originally, he was going to save Imos.
There is a sudden attack, kill that guy, and save Imos.
But now, he suddenly discovered that there was more than one person.
This shows that he needs to pick two.
Imos has no power to restrain the chicken. If he doesn’t help, it’s good. Of course, the chance of him not helping is very low. In all likelihood, he doesn’t even know how to protect himself in the event of a fire. Hold him.
In such a tight-knit situation, what is the chance of success of one-to-two?
I want to know, very low, very low……
Su Yiqing is not a person who is afraid of death, there is nothing to die meaningfully.
However, if he and Imos all die here, the traitor’s affairs will be completely sealed, and that traitor, I don’t know how many casualties it will cause.
If you don’t go ahead… you can successfully leave here, and you will also bring information about who the traitor is. This information can prevent the empire from continuing to be harmed. The price is to watch Imos die, fight, or go. It’s really a difficult choice…
Fighting may not be of much use, but it makes the opportunity to be lost in vain; to go, it seems to be cold-blooded, giving up the only possibility of saving people…
Su Yiqing was hesitating. Suddenly, he saw a person turning out in front of him!
“…!!!”
Su Yiqing didn’t expect that the other party would move her position!
Is it unintentional…? !
Soon, he realized the reason-Imos just wanted to run, but was immediately caught back.
In such a rush, the obstacle just can’t hide it!
Just now, Su Yiqing stood still the first second after hearing the sound.
He did not run behind a tree to hide himself, because he was afraid that walking would step on the dead branches on the ground, but would make the other person aware of his existence, so he just stood motionless, the two sides were not close. There are trees covering it again, and the other party keeps saying that he thinks he is temporarily safe.
This is, Su Yiqing finally saw each other clearly.
…Olivier! ! !
That person was Olivier! ! !
Su Yiqing almost wanted to scream.
Brigadier General Olivier, one of the three people in this base second only to Darrell!
No one would doubt him!
Before, Su Yiqing heard Wu Qiao talk about some things Olivier did to Sheng Chongguang-it sounds very bad, but he always thinks Olivier likes Sheng Chongguang a bit, just like elementary school boys, whoever they like will be bullied. Who, using this method to make the other party pay attention to and value themselves… Su Yiqing never expected that Olivier’s nature was really problematic.
Su Yiqing started to feel sick for her friends.
It’s really not a good thing to be liked by this kind of person.
As for the person next to Olivier… he is a very sincere subordinate.
“…” Su Yiqing knew that the other party must have seen herself.
How can I do……
With her mind turning, Su Yiqing continued to walk forward along the road, using his usual silly look.
“…” Olivier watched Su Yiqing walk in front of him. He pressed his lips tightly and said to Su Yiqing after a long while, “Hi.”
“Hi.” Su Yiqing also replied.
Olivier asked again: “You…it’s so late, what are you doing here?”
“Oh,” Su Yiqing said, “I like this trail very much. It is the most beautiful in the base.”
“Well, it’s really beautiful.” Olivier stared at Su Yiqing closely.
“…What about you?” Su Yiqing stared at Olivier and asked.
“The two of us just have a chat.” After speaking, Olivier looked straight into Su Yiqing’s eyes and asked, “You… didn’t you hear anything just now?”
“…”
“That.” Before Su Yiqing could answer, Olivier suddenly smiled: “It’s not a matter of importance, it doesn’t matter if it is heard. However, it involves some personal privacy, so I still want to ask.”
His smile broke all the tension just now.
It seems that this smile is clean and sunny, harmless to humans and animals, as if it is really just a chat among friends.
In Su Yiqing’s eyes, this question is very important.
It seemed that Olivier really wanted to know if he heard anything… the other party probably didn’t want to kill too many people.
Naturally, Su Yiqing had to pretend not to hear, otherwise he would be killed immediately.
And pretending is precisely what he is best at.
He has been pretending since he was a child, and he has honed his acting skills for so many years before he finally comes in handy.
So, Su Yiqing also smiled: “I didn’t hear anything? I didn’t pay attention at first. Let me just say that. I really want to know.”
“…” Olivier was silent, as if thinking about something.
At that moment, Su Yiqing suddenly drew his gun and shot!
He moved extremely fast, however, Olivier seemed to be prepared for a long time. With a few bangs, Olivier’s pistol shot out four bullets instantly, all hitting his target.
But the one that Su Yiqing shot was missed by the shot by the gunman, and it passed by Olivier’s neck.
Su Yiqing shook.
He tried hard not to let himself fall to the ground, his arms trembling and he wanted to raise it again, but he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to hit the opposite person.
His military uniform burst open, and blood flowed from the bullet holes.
The impact just now seemed like a sledgehammer hitting his chest, his breathing was very difficult, and his ribs were suffering from continuous severe pain. There was no pain at first, but soon it seemed that there were thousands of needles piercing him, and it seemed that thousands of bees were biting him.
Olivier snorted disdainfully, and kicked Su Yiqing on the ground.
“You…” Su Yiqing opened his eyes wide to prevent him from losing consciousness, “Why…”
“Why?” Olivier sneered, “Su Yiqing, I know that you are also Sheng Chongguang’s friend.”
“…”
“Do you know how he died? If you don’t know, I’ll tell you… He was unjustly killed because no one believed him! The base collective decided not to save him, so he died there tragically!”
Su Yiqing did not speak, gasping for breath.
Olivier added: “Except for Wu Qiao, no officer in the entire base believed him and advocated saving him. When Darrell decided to give up, no one questioned him. All of them supported him. In those days, I also heard many ordinary soldiers. The discussion, the content is the same… All think that Shigeguang’s rebellion is a logical one.”
“…”
“After that, you are about to win, and everyone is very happy…very happy.”
“…”
“Why?” Olivier said, “Why is he such a soft person who wants to get that kind of ending, and the person who pretended to kill him innocently is about to add glory? Why… only Sheng Zhongguang To die, they can live to accept the cheers? Does anyone know what they have done? Even they have completely forgotten about their own blood accounts. They clearly did this kind of thing, but they didn’t suffer. Any retribution is about to be called a hero! An Anxin is happy!”
“…” Su Yiqing didn’t expect this to be the reason.
Olivier calmed down a little: “I am obviously a comrade in the base, but there is such a big difference here. You can say that my heart is gloomy. I don’t want them to be good, and I don’t want them to live well. I hope they die. , I’m not wrong. I just can’t accept that the real innocent people are not cold, but the culprit will be praised.”
“You…” Su Yiqing said very hard, “didn’t you… and didn’t believe it?”
“…” Olivier froze for a while, and then quickly looked as usual, “Yes, I am also guilty, and I am also one of the targets of my own revenge.”
“…” Su Yiqing felt that Olivier had been completely distorted. He reached a dead end, but convinced that it was correct, and hit his head desperately.
“I won’t betray the empire.” Olivier said again, “I only hate the people in this base, and hate their self-righteous ghosts. After these people pay the price, I will also let the wings of the dragon come. Repay the debt.”
Su Yiqing shook her head, feeling that compared to the person in front of him, Imos was not crazy at all.
He said: “You are just using’revenge’ to show that… you have done something for him. It is just a tool you use to alleviate… your own guilt. It’s ridiculous, you don’t when you are alive. Love…you fall in love when you die.”
Before he finished speaking, Su Yiqing was kicked.
Su Yiqing groaned, and more blood flowed out.
“Speaking of you…” Olivier knelt down, “Is it stupid?”
Looking at Su Yiqing, Olivier said again, “What did you think, why did you suddenly draw a gun?”
“I…” Su Yiqing’s eyes looked into the sky, “If I said… I didn’t hear… you would… really… let me go…”
“Hmm…” Olivier thought for a moment, “Not necessarily. Maybe he will kill you, but he may also let you go. Who knows?”
“Look…” Su Yiqing said, “I don’t dare to bet… this may be my only chance… the only chance to kill you… if you don’t do it… there will be no more…”
Then, the opponent will continue to cause fatal damage to the Empire.
“But, you will die.” Olivier said, “Even if you kill me, my companion will kill you. Only by pretending not to hear you can you live.”
Su Yiqing said nothing.
Of course he knew he would die.
However, even though he knew he would die, he had to try.
This time, it’s worth changing your life. God knows how to clearly mark the price. How can it be possible to easily get this kind of good opportunity that can save tens of thousands of people? It is kindness to exchange one life for one life.
“Okay, okay.” Olivier raised his hand, “I understand that you are going to kill me with a mortal determination. But…heh, you are pretending to be too fake.”
After a second, he laughed again: “You laugh like crying, more inexplicable than crying. If I am still unprepared, I can go off the cliff. Su Yiqing, how did I hear that you are especially good at acting? Didn’t they all call you the “actor”? The actor is at this level? Isn’t it too funny?”
“I…” Su Yiqing actually answered this time. He said, “I can’t laugh…”
Before he pretended to smile, Su Yiqing thought that he would be able to fool the other party.
After all, this is what he does best.
He didn’t doubt this at all.
However, he found that he was wrong.
“I can’t laugh…” Su Yiqing opened his big and hollow eyes, as if looking at the sky, and as if looking at nothing, he murmured, “When the murderer stands in front of me… When I think about it The dead souls of thousands of comrades…I can’t laugh…”
He couldn’t smile and say he didn’t hear.
He can’t do it.
His proud acting skills fell apart at that moment.
Olivier stood up, sneered, raised his leg and kicked Su Yiqing again: “So you are stupid, you lose your chain at the critical moment.”
Su Yiqing felt that her consciousness was gradually farther away.
He reached out and held the lock-shaped pendant that Ji Yao gave him.
Gradually, he felt that he was so light and light. It was a very comfortable feeling, a feeling that he had never felt before.
He heard the song and didn’t know what the song was, but it was very nice.
The surroundings were all dark, he looked at his body from above like a feather, returned to the flesh for a while, and then went out again.
He seemed to be isolated from the world, and he had no clear connection anymore.
At the same time, time seems to stand still.
His past life appeared scene by scene, the order is time, just like a dream, when many feelings appeared again.
He and Ji Yao met for the first time… the day he confessed to Ji Yao… was slapped… together again… came to the base to find Wu Qiao… until the quarrel just now…
Ji Yao…
There seems to be a bright light ahead.
In the light is Ji Yao’s shadow.
Something is preventing him from passing.
It’s like a gate.
The door separated him.
Su Yiqing felt that she touched it slowly.
——He opened the door.
The twelve o’clock bell rang.
Wu Qiao bid farewell to Ya Jiu and walked out of the training ground.
He discovered that a small patch of flowers bloomed on the ground beside the training court.
Red, pink, yellow, very cute.
That’s great… Wu Qiao remembered that good friend who loves beauty and flowers the most, and thought, tomorrow, I will show them to Su Yiqing.
