Chapter 387: A cliché scene
Gensokyo... It was this name again. Li Yu's eyes moved slightly. He had heard this name from a hunter.
The reason why the AEUG fleet was disbanded and General Augustus died was related to this so-called "Fantasy Town".
When he first heard the name, Li Yu felt confused and thought it was something from his previous life.
But in fact, the so-called "Fantasy Township" is just a translation of the interstellar universal language.
Different civilizations have different names for it.
However, he didn't know what "Gensokyo" was exactly, because the hunter was not willing to mention this past event.
" Why are ? Don't you know how you ended up like this?" The hunter's face changed and his tone was unfriendly.
"That's why I have to find it!" Patton said without hesitation: "Augustus's momentary mistake caused the huge fleet to fall apart, all the captains were exiled, and their families suffered a miserable fate!"
"This is all because of his selfish desires, and you fools are still following him recklessly without considering the consequences."
"You don't have family, but we do!"
Hunter's face turned ugly, but facing the aggressive Barton, he was powerless to refute.
When the passion faded and the bloody reality lay before him, the hunter also knew what consequences Augustus's momentary thought had led to.
However, the right and wrong of a matter cannot be made clear in just one sentence.
The hunter sneered and said, "You don't have to be so passionate. I seem to remember that your parents were killed by the plunderers a long time ago. Where do you have family?"
Barton was silent for a moment, and his tone suddenly softened, "You have a pretty good memory."
In the hustle and bustle, Patton's purpose is not pure, and he uses various words to attack the hunter's heart.
The hunter didn't want to dig up the past anymore, so he said directly: "Don't talk nonsense, I need to know the whole story of how Ramon was captured."
"…Ramon was carrying vital information, which we obtained with great difficulty…three days ago…"
Patton gave a brief introduction to the matter. It was a very routine intelligence transportation job and the disguise in all aspects was perfect.
But somehow the news leaked out and he was captured by Guixing's field agents.
"You should know that General Augustus doesn't want that place to be discovered." The hunter frowned.
Patton sneered: "He is your general, not my general."
"For special places like that, many forces have special departments to study them. Augustus can delay it for a while, but not forever."
"Are you going to help me with this or not?"
The hunter did not answer immediately, but shook his head and said, "I can't command Li Yu. Only he can decide whether to help or not."
Barton continued: "The people who arrested him didn't know what information Ramon was carrying. For Li Yu, one phone call would do the job."
"You really can't do it?"
Since the hunter already knew the details of the matter, he didn't bother to waste time talking to him. "If he agrees, I will contact you later."
But Patton did not say goodbye, but continued: "We served together after all, and you don't even want to say a few words to an old friend?"
"I still have to develop the gene chain, so I don't have time." The hunter said perfunctorily.
"Develop gene chains?" Barton's voice suddenly rose several degrees: "Didn't your gene chain get eliminated? How come..."
He suddenly stopped talking halfway, and there was a beeping sound from the smart terminal, as if someone was checking something.
"…It must be Li Yu. Some time ago, the Transformers stole Zijing's gene optimization device, but something went wrong at the last minute and it was snatched away by an unknown person."
"According to the information from the Xingyao Empire, it should be Li Yu who did it."
Barton's tone suddenly became strange, a little disappointed: "Gene optimization device, that is a technological device that only Augustus is qualified to use."
"You are so lucky..."
"Are you still connected with the Star Empire?" The hunter keenly caught the message in Patton's words.
Barton did not answer his question, but said in a deep tone: "You know what? Ramon has undergone mechanical transformation. He used to hate those mechanically transformed bodies the most, thinking that they were no longer human."
"I really envy you. When you were in Augustus, you were highly regarded by Augustus. Even after being exiled, you were able to meet someone like Li Yu..."
The hunter was upset after hearing this and hung up the phone directly, with yellowed memories churning in his mind.
Ramon really hated mechanically modified bodies, thinking that they couldn't even do "that job", so what was the point of living?
But now he has undergone mechanical transformation. Their genetic structure is damaged and they cannot embark on the path of genetic evolution. They can only become stronger through mechanical transformation.
His expression changed, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind. He knew that Barton wanted him to have this mentality in order to achieve his goal.
"What exactly is Gensokyo?" Li Yu asked curiously.
The hunter glanced at Li Yu, walked to the metal chair with a slightly tired look, sighed deeply, sat down, and whispered:
"Fantasy Township, scientific name - a half-dimensional world where nothingness and reality intertwine. It existed in the Titan Age, and the entrance will appear in various corners of the universe from time to time."
"Most of the time, it is in some uninhabited places. It is only observed in very rare cases. Since the establishment of the Star Empire, the number of times it has been observed by humans can be counted on one's fingers."
Li Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to ask: "What's so magical about it? Is there a treasure inside?"
"It can be controlled by humans..." The hunter said:
"According to some records found by the Star Empire, Fantasy Township was once controlled by the Titans and used as a mobile base, research institute, arsenal, and even an interstellar fortress."
"Living things can survive in it, and there are living organisms."
Li Yu became interested. It turned out to be a portable world. It sounded good.
In the interstellar world, time and distance are insurmountable barriers. If we could have such a portable world, it would save us a lot of trouble.
"This is just one of the functions. The Star Empire speculates that there should be other functions." The hunter added.
"What about Augustus?" Li Yu asked this key question.
This time the hunter did not refuse to answer. His eyes gradually became deeper, as if he was recalling something.
As he listened to the hunter's story, Li Yu's expression became more and more strange.
This is not a complicated story. The general outline is that Augustus was ambushed in an interstellar war, his main ship was damaged, and he himself was seriously injured.
He was forced to leave on the escape ship, but accidentally entered Gensokyo.
He didn't know where that place was, but like most of the melodramatic interstellar literature, he met a beautiful girl.
Under the other party's careful care, Augustus gradually recovered from his injuries, and this battlefield-hardened general was also moved by the other party's gentleness and thoughtfulness.
However, as an outsider, he could not stay in Gensokyo for too long. After leaving, he contacted his fleet as soon as possible.
And under the questioning of the Star Empire, he reported his experiences during this period.
The Star Empire instantly realized that it was Gensokyo and asked Augustus to open fire on it.
Because the entrance to Gensokyo will not last long, it can only be forced to stay in place by shaking its spatial anchor through high-energy attacks.
Waiting for the arrival of higher-level life forms from the Star Empire.
Because of the life-saving grace and the fact that the old tree was blooming, Augustus hesitated and finally refused the order to open fire, which led to a series of subsequent events.
"This story is really beyond my expectations..." Li Yu didn't know how to describe his feelings, "I thought it would be more dramatic."
"There aren't so many magnificent stories. They are all so clichéd..." The hunter smiled bitterly and shook his head.
However, he was young and energetic at that time, and believed that the general's anger for the beauty was more heroic.
He had not expected that the wrath of the empire would be so terrible. It was not until a long time later that he began to think more about what had happened.
"Indeed..." Li Yu gave him a thumbs up for what he said. He said in a lazy tone, "Do you want me to ask someone about that Ramon?"
The hunter's lips tightened and he looked at Li Yu with complicated eyes, which made Li Yu's body covered with goose bumps. He said unhappily:
"Don't look at me like that. I'm just quite curious about Gensokyo."
The hunter said helplessly: "I knew you would be interested. It's better for you to find it than for others to find it."
Li Yu grinned, "You said that as if Gensokyo is in my pocket."
"As long as it's what you want, I've never seen you fail." The hunter flattered him a little.
“I like to hear that…” Li Yu chuckled and said, “Little Noisy, contact Klein.”
"Yes, Master."
…
The environment was dark and fishy, and it was extremely quiet here, with only the occasional sound of dripping water echoing in Ramon's ears.
Ramon opened his dim eyes, but due to lack of energy, the visual signals were intermittent and he could not see clearly what was in front of him.
Hum rumble–
With a dull friction sound, a faint light shone on the ground and soon disappeared.
The leather boots came into his sight, and he was pulled up, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears:
"Have you thought it through? Are you still going to fight to the death? What does that string of time represent?!"
Ramon's eyes were hazy, and most of the mechanical structures on his body had been removed, leaving only the key equipment to maintain vital signs.
He grinned, revealing a silent mockery. This little torture was nothing to him. His only regret was that he did not send the things away.
Bang!
Seeing that this guy was not willing to listen, the rat's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He knew the other party's background. He had served in the [AEUG] and had undergone various trainings. He would not give in easily.
"Go ahead, open his neural interface and access the 'torture' program!" His voice was cold.
Ramon on the ground couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard his words.
Through the neural interface, special programs are connected to simulate various extremely cruel punishments. This is a torture method unique to mechanically modified bodies.
However, this method can easily damage their brains and cause dementia, thus making them worth questioning.
So it will basically not be used until the last moment.
It's about to end... Ramon sighed in his heart, all kinds of thoughts flooded into his mind, the passion and innocence when he joined the army, the high-spirited feeling when he was promoted to captain, and the desolation when he was exiled.
"Boss, isn't it too early? He is our only source of information now." The subordinate advised.
The rat shook his head: "It's useless to continue the stalemate. He has received professional training. Ordinary interrogation techniques are useless to him."
"yes……"
Upon hearing this, his men could only prepare for their next move.
However, at this moment, someone hurried over and whispered, "Boss, the supervisor wants to see you..."
The Mouse was stunned and confused. Why would the supervisor suddenly look for him when the task was not completed yet?
He glanced at Ramon on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and turned away.
In the specially designed room, the heavily encrypted communication equipment has been turned on, and only a white line fluctuates on the black screen.
"Boss..." The Mouse took the initiative to speak, indicating that he had arrived.
"Rat, is Ramon Carroll in your hands?" The supervisor's voice sounded a little hurried.
The rat's pupils dilated. He had not yet reported after catching Ramon.
Generally speaking, reports are made only after a mission succeeds or fails.
Ramon's mission is still in progress, so there is no need to report for the time being.
And since he didn't report it, how did the supervisor know about it? And why was his voice so urgent?
The rat thought for a moment and said, "Four days ago, I did catch Ramon. I am currently interrogating him. I plan to use the torture procedure to pry the truth out of him..."
"Stop all interrogation methods!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his anxious supervisor.
"What!?" The rat was a little stunned and didn't react.
The supervisor's voice suddenly rose several degrees: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I want you to stop all interrogation methods, restore him to his original state, and come to me safely!"
"But, Supervisor..." The Rat was confused, "Didn't the mission say that he was carrying extremely important unknown intelligence? Many people are secretly looking for him."
The supervisor didn't explain too much: "Don't waste your time. The previous mission is cancelled. Send Ramon here. Remember to be respectful. Also... you can also retreat from that hibernation location."
The rat's pupils contracted. In order to send Ramon back as soon as possible, their superiors were willing to abandon the place where they had been hiding for such a long time and let them go back.
What exactly happened?
If it was just to transfer the prisoners, there was no need for him to restore Ramon to his original state.
And he actually asked him to be more respectful. Is Ramon a prisoner or is he a prisoner?
"Boss, what on earth is going on!" the rat shouted coldly.
The supervisor hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, it would be difficult for the rat to handle the matter, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "There is a big shot who wants to protect him, a big shot that neither you nor I can contend with!"
The mouse took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
But the supervisor did not give him a chance to continue asking questions and simply hung up the phone.
