Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 686: Prisoners and Captives

Battleship Rectification, lower level prison.

No. 56 walked alone in the empty corridor, holding his helmet. On both sides of the corridor were sealed and locked metal doors, and above his head were cold and bright lumen tubes. The sound of magnetic shoes echoed in the corridor.

Just now, No. 56 heard the news of victory on the front line. Without being in the most dangerous cave battlefield, he could not imagine how much the army paid to achieve this victory. In his view, this was just another victory under the command of Qingshan Khan.

The Iron Pagoda Corps is used to victory. When they fight with the corps, they can eat as much as they want in every major plot event, but no one is eating and drinking for free. No. 56 knows his own value. Compared with other senior officers, his combat power is equally strong, but the front-line battlefield cannot fully exert his ability. Here, the bottom cabin prison, is his real battlefield.

Number Fifty-Six knew that Qingshan Khan had formulated a very radical plan this time. He not only wanted to seek the final victory and assimilation points in this major plot event, he even wanted to use the hands of the beasts to clean up the corrupt and decadent imperial ruling class on Terra, so as to gain greater political benefits for the Iron Pagoda Chapter on its anchor world.

This is a dangerous plan that can easily fail. If we are not careful, Holy Terra may fall into the hands of the orcs and be defiled and trampled upon. No one can afford such a loss.

Under the premise of knowing the development of the plot, the success rate of this plan is actually quite high. However, no reincarnation world can win by knowing the development of the plot, because there is another factor, a variable that no one can predict in advance - the reincarnation.

The more complicated the plan, the more afraid we are of players disrupting it.

Even though the Warhammer 40K map is huge, hundreds of thousands of players might not even make a splash if thrown into it, and the probability of encountering each other is very small if they are scattered throughout the galaxy. But it is better to be safe than sorry, what if some unlucky person shows up where he shouldn't be?

Therefore, in order to eliminate the interference of the reincarnationists as much as possible, Qingshan Khan specially appointed No. 56 to be fully responsible for all player issues during the major events of this plot line. The sea snake warrior was granted great authority. He could choose to leave the battlefield at any time without informing anyone and go to investigate and deal with any abnormal situation he felt was suspicious.

The strength of the reincarnation hidden in the crowd is unpredictable. It could be a great wizard who is well versed in the mysteries of multiple elements, or an ordinary person with a Swiss Army knife. No. 56 is very strong personally, but he alone cannot guarantee that he can completely handle all the player problems, so Fu Qinghai found some helpers for him.

Fu Qinghai assigned all members of the Reincarnation Society except the Space Marines to Commander No. 56, Ghost Kid, Ron, and of course the Queen of Wraiths Zhang Yuning.

On the one hand, it is easier for the Reincarnators to deal with the Reincarnators, and on the other hand, it is because after the Golden Account Agreement was activated, the Legion was reorganized and multiple regiments fought together. Upton is a subspace creature, Zhang Yuning is an illegal psychic and a demon host, and Ron is a human parasitized by an alien. None of the three of them are suitable to appear in front of other friendly forces.

Especially Zhang Yuning, her identity is too special.

This is different from using traitor gene seeds and secretly developing new weapons. Raising a demon host? This is an obvious sign of falling into chaos. Other chapters also have think tanks, and they can also see through the seven deadly sins in Zhang Yuning's body. This is difficult to explain and will inevitably cause some unnecessary suspicion and doubt from other brother chapters.

The same reason also led to Fu Qinghai not choosing to wear the Goblin Armor. The Goblin Armor with growth potential was the most powerful armor he had at the moment, but it was not suitable to appear in front of friendly forces - the shape and core were too chaotic. It had appeared in front of the Black Templar before and was imprisoned in the bottom cabin prison.

In other words, from another perspective, facing the orcs fighting the moon, Fu Qinghai did not actually use his full strength - the Iron Pagoda Regiment had indeed gone all out, but they did not activate the Goblin Armor, did not send out the Wraith Queen, and included the Ancient Winter Treasure Box and the Eternal Fire in the regiment's treasury, these magical versions of star-destroying weapons were also not used.

The beast is indeed very strong, but Qingshan still has many cards to play, and these cards have many restrictions on their use - No. 56 is one of the few people who knows this.

"Pap, tap, tap..."

The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor.

The Sea Snake Warrior continued to walk forward, passing through one ordinary cell after another. During this time, he passed a room with an open door. Inside, there was a plastic doll and a freckled young man, who were playing cards with their feet up and cigarettes in their mouths. He looked at the thin young man and nodded, then continued to walk forward.

A steel gate blocked his way, and two tall, cold Castellan intelligent robot soldiers stood on the left and right of the gate. No. 56 stopped, and a servo skull floated over. After verifying his multiple biological information one by one, the heavy and tight gates opened layer by layer.

This is no longer an ordinary cell area.

Instead, it is an area where special mortals are imprisoned.

"Welcome, Commander Fifty-Six."

The servoskull made emotionless sounds.

No. 56 walked into the dark passage holding his helmet. Along with the sounds of mechanical gears and hydraulic connecting rods turning, as well as the "hissing" sound of gas sealing, the steel gates closed one by one behind him.

Here is held a vital asset of the Chapter.

Captured items from previous plotline events.

Name: Mao Sugawara.

Number:DH0001.

Mao Sugawara is an important research subject of the Mechanicus of the Phaeton Forge World, and is currently the only living material available for research on demonology. At the same time, in view of Mao Sugawara's desire for survival and cooperative attitude during the research process, some technical priests suggested that he could be considered to be sent to the battlefield in the battle against the alien race.

The reason why these technical priests made this suggestion was mainly to test the performance of the demon host on the actual battlefield and provide more data for subsequent research.

In fact, the Chapter has another demon host, but that demon host is unwilling to cooperate with the Mechanicus in research, nor is she willing to accept any form of testing. In view of her special relationship with Aoyama Khan, the oil men dare not do anything to her, so they can only grab Sugawara Mao as a sheep and try to make progress and breakthroughs in research.

Mao Sugawara was therefore transferred from the experimental base in the Phaeton Forge World to the bottom hold prison of the battleship Suzheng. In order to study the demon host, it was impossible to lock her in the stasis field all the time. However, the conditions of the bottom hold prison were questioned again. The destructive power of the demon host was too strong, and the oil men were always worried that she would escape.

But now they don't have to worry.

Number 56 thought as he walked.

Because Qingshan Khan had a brilliant idea:
Use one demon host to watch over another demon host.

Unlike the heavily guarded security measures outside, after entering this area where special prisoners were held, No. 56 felt a sense of tension on the outside and relaxation on the inside. Some technical priests hurried past him holding data tablets, and mortal crew members pushed carts to deliver various delicacies and wines into the cells.

The door of a cell in the front left was open.

Number 56 heard the conversation before he even got close.

"I command you to lick my feet."

A lazy and cold female voice said.

"I'm not, you're dreaming!"

Another female voice firmly refused.

Number 56: “!?”

I wonder what kind of PLAY are you guys playing?

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp and loud explosion.

“又想挨揍是吧，让你舔你就舔。你在我男朋友面前那么骚那么贱，怎么在我面前开始装起清纯来了？喏，张嘴，快给我舔！”

The cold female voice forced with a sneer.

"Ugh...don't...don't even think about it!"

The other female voice struggled desperately.

"Cough cough."

Number 56 coughed lightly and walked through the cell door.

Passing by the door, he glanced at it and saw:
Zhang Yuning was wearing a suspender dress, lazily lying on a luxurious velvet sponge single lounge chair. One of her long white legs was resting on the knee of the other bent leg, and she was poking Sugawara Mao's face with her white toes.

Mao Sugawara was wearing a disposable sterile surgical gown, and was fixed to a standing bed board by several metal rings as thick as her arms, unable to move. She tilted her head to one side and closed her mouth, trying her best to resist the toe poking her lips.

Zhang Yuning held a thin dog chain in her hand, and the end of the chain was connected to the black leather collar on Sugawara Mao's neck. The collar had rivets on it and was put on Sugawara Mao's slender white neck. Zhang Yuning pulled the thin chain back and stepped on Sugawara Mao's face with her foot.

Neither of the two demon hosts activated their transformation forms.

Fortunately, it means the situation is not out of control yet.

Number 56 breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

These two women were not ordinary demon hosts. They had more than one demon in their bodies, but six or seven. Once they got angry, they might turn the entire lower prison and even the entire battle barge upside down. No. 56 had no confidence that he could control the situation. He just hoped that they could live in peace and harmony.

Zhang Yuning noticed No. 56 outside the cell, her face changed slightly, she retracted her long legs and pulled up the hem of her skirt, but she didn't stand up, but still leaned on the recliner, turned her head and said lightly:

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, ma'am, please continue."

Number 56 smiled and raised his hand to signal.

After saying that, he turned around and quickly left the cell.

Perhaps due to the gene seed of the Primarch Alpharius/Omegan, No. 56 is a bit rebellious in his nature. But he is very afraid of Zhang Yuning, and he is not as afraid of the battle captain Fu Qinghai as he is of the battle captain's wife Zhang Yuning.

Number 56 recalled a long time ago.

It was a very ordinary chapter meeting, Qingshan Khan was giving a speech, and Fifty-Six was sitting at the conference table. Because he had the ability to read minds, he could listen to Qingshan Khan's inner voice before he spoke, so Fifty-Six felt a little bored with the content of the meeting, so he began to listen to the voices of every Space Marine present.

All the Space Marines were very focused, and their thoughts were all following Qingshan Khan's words to deduce tactics in their minds... No. 56 suddenly noticed Zhang Yuning, who was sitting alone in the corner of the conference room. It was obvious that the woman could not understand these war terms, so what was she thinking?

Number 56 uses his psychic power to read minds to find out what's going on.

Then he heard:
A deep and rumbling evil voice said:

"The presence of that priest makes me uncomfortable. I want to kill him... or leave this place."

A young and immature female voice said with disgust:

"I also don't like that big bald guy with words all over his head. I especially hate his hammer!"

"Wait, someone is eavesdropping on us."

A middle-aged female voice suddenly said in surprise.

"Oh? I saw him, too. It's him, over there."

The hoarse and gloomy voice said with interest.

"Hiss, that's interesting. What does he want to hear?"

The snake-like hissing sound carried malicious intent.

Then, No. 56 saw Zhang Yuning, who was sitting alone in the corner, suddenly look up and look at him. The woman had no expression on her face, but her dark pupils seemed to contain an extreme malice, as if she was being stared at by countless evil beings at the same time. The sea snake warrior felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his blood was about to freeze.

The woman glanced away.

He lowered his head and continued to sit in the corner in a daze.

Nothing was said, as if nothing had happened.

Number 56 froze in place, his nerves tense.

After a while, he slowly relaxed.

Since then, No. 56 never dared to use psychic reading on Zhang Yuning again. To be honest, No. 56 admired Zhang Yuning's mental state. With so many voices chattering in her mind at the same time, with hatred and malice for life, constantly telling her to kill this and that, Zhang Yuning could still stay conscious and not go crazy.

I have to admire our boss...

Number 56 sighed as he walked:
This kind of woman can handle it.

……

Zhang Yuning tilted her head and listened to the footsteps.

After confirming that No. 56 had left, she stood up and pressed a button, closing and locking the cell door. Then, Zhang Yuning slowly pulled out the cork of the wine bottle, poured the golden and clear wine into the goblet, shook it gently a few times, then put her nose close to the tip of her nose to smell the fragrance of the wine, and then raised the glass to sip.

There was no need to get close to the goblet, the rich and mellow floral and fruity aroma had already penetrated Sugawara Mao's nose. She had never smelled such a fragrant wine before, and Zhang Yuning hadn't given her water to drink for two days. Sugawara Mao watched Zhang Yuning finish the wine and pick up a piece of juicy alien fruit...

"Gudu."

She was already thirsty.

I swallowed the last mouthful of saliva reluctantly.

"Caterina White Wine, the most expensive and rarest of all Quatis wines, a tribute from the planetary governor. It is said to be able to kill an overindulgent drinker with pure joy. It is a symbol of power and status in the Calixis Sector. It is the best wine in the world that countless hive nobles cannot obtain even if they spend a fortune or resort to theft, murder, and robbery..."

Zhang Yuning spoke softly while shaking the wine glass and looking at the crystal clear wine under the light.

Sugawara Mao only felt that the thirst and anxiety in her mouth were becoming more and more intense, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Want to try it?"

Zhang Yuning asked with a chuckle, glancing at Sugawara Mao who was pinned next to her with her charming and narrow phoenix eyes.

Mao Sugawara didn't say anything, but her rapid breathing and heaving chest had already exposed her inner thoughts. She wanted to transform into Shabak to break free from the shackles on her body, but she also knew that even if she activated the transformation form, she might not be able to beat the woman in front of her, not to mention there was a whole ship of space warriors.

"Humph."

Zhang Yuning hummed softly and raised the corners of her mouth, then made a move that Sugawara Mao could not have expected: she crossed her legs and poured the goblet in her hand downwards. The exquisite wine that countless nest nobles had fought so hard for but could not get was poured onto her white and slender toes, and the golden wine flowed down along the gaps between her toes and the soles of her feet...

Zhang Yuning stretched out her jade feet, which were covered with crystal liquid beads, and put them in front of Sugawara Mao's lips. She said nothing, just raised her chin slightly and looked at her quietly.

Sugawara Mao's breathing became more and more rapid, and a fierce ideological struggle was going on in her mind. Her eyes were fixed on the foot in front of her, each nail of which was painted with beautiful black paint.

Finally, I opened my lips and mouth...

……

Fifty-Six arrives at the cell where Hux is being held.

The special prison next to them held other members of the perfect human race, but No. 56 was not interested in them at all. They were nothing more than reincarnations implanted with Plaka parasites, reincarnations composed of Kadu worms, and reincarnations transformed by tyrants. The societies had fought against these things before, so there was nothing new. However, it was the first time he had seen a Space Marine, and a Space Marine belonging to the perfect human race, which was very strange.

Especially this guy is very dangerous.

Master Quinto took a blood test and found that he was carrying almost all the viruses from the Resident Evil game universe in his body. Some of these viruses can be transmitted through the air. He is simply a walking virus bomb.

Although all the Space Marines and servants of the Chapter have been vaccinated against these viruses and have corresponding antibody reagents, allowing such a source of infection to walk within the human empire still brings great risks.

Not only can these viruses coexist, but they also do not cause any changes to the host's genes, which surprised Master Quinto very much. A research project that has been stagnant for a long time seems to have the possibility of being restarted because of the appearance of this special sample.

But before Master Quinto began his research.

Number 56 will interrogate him first.

The Sea Serpent warrior walked into the cell and turned to close the hatch. The Space Marine in front of him was naked and imprisoned on a metal chair with his head down, and the cold light shone directly on his head, casting shadows on his muscular body. Even by the standards of Space Marines, he was definitely a burly man.

"You should be thankful."

Number 56 dragged a chair over and sat down in front of the captured Space Marine. He picked up a data tablet and swiped it twice, inputting data while speaking slowly:
"The one interrogating you now is me, not Kalamanda. That guy is still slaughtering orcs on the front line. If it were him, I'm worried that you wouldn't be able to survive. After all, he is a man who can find great pleasure in torture."

"I am Death Guard."

Hux slowly raised his head:

"I am not afraid of any torture."

"You are not a Death Guard."

Number 56 corrected him bluntly.

"What kind of Death Guard are you? You're just a lucky guy who happened to use the Death Guard's gene-seed. What do you think a Space Marine is? You think you can be called an 'Astartes' just because you have two hearts and three lungs? Where is your power armor? Where is your courage? Where is your dignity? The Death Guard will not surrender to the aliens."

Number 56 curled his lips and said.

Hux opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"Come on. I ask questions, and you answer them."

Number 56 leaned back in his chair leisurely.

Hux was a little confused: Without any torture, they just started interrogating me? Aren't they afraid that I'm lying? Aren't they afraid that I'll give a bunch of false information to deliberately mislead?

"Those teammates of yours are right next door."

Number 56 gave a gentle reminder:
"I have questioned them."

"Creating a prisoner's dilemma doesn't work for me."

Hux stared at No. 56 and said in a deep voice:
"I have more than one reincarnation life."

It would be great if you thought so.

Number 56 thought to himself.

"first question."

No. 56 did not respond but asked directly:

"your name."

"Hex Bartlett."

Hux replied calmly.

Number 56 wrote on the tablet:

"Name: Alayak Hux."

"Who is your immediate superior to Perfect Human?"

Number 56 then asked.

"Moira Robinson."

Hux replied calmly.

Number 56 wrote on the tablet:

"Superior: Monroe Melville."

"When did you join the Perfect Humans?"

Number 56 continued to ask.

"Three reincarnations ago."

Hux replied casually.

Number 56 wrote on the tablet:

"The world of the movie "The Mist" is actively seeking to join."

"Where did the perfect human get his gene seed?"

"Who performed the Space Marine transformation surgery on you?"

"What is the purpose of entering the Warhammer 40K universe?"

"What did you go through while being held captive by the orcs?"

Number 56 threw out questions one after another.

Hux also cooperated and answered them one by one.

Hux felt a little strange. He had some basic knowledge of interrogation. He knew that some interrogators would ask the same question repeatedly, hundreds or thousands of times. Because when people answer the correct answer, they can blurt it out without thinking, but when they lie, they need to think. If they keep thinking about how to make up a lie, they may hesitate or get stuck, or accidentally say another fabricated answer.

But the Space Marine in front of him didn't have that.

None of his questions were repeated.

Number 56 was looking at the data tablet filled with information, clenching his chin and lost in thought. In addition to the written records, there was also a servo skull in the cell that was synchronously recording the interrogation video footage to ensure that no details were missed.

What is the process of lying?
When faced with a question, the first thing that comes to a liar's mind is the correct answer. Then he makes up a lie that is opposite to the correct answer or completely unrelated to the correct answer. In other words, all lies are made up based on the truth. No. 56 does not need Hux to tell the truth, and he does not even need Hux to speak. As long as Hux thinks about it in his mind, he will know what the correct answer is.

Asking questions is just to make him think.

Once you start thinking about how to make up a lie.

Then the truth will be self-evident.

What No. 56 is struggling with now is:

According to the interrogation results, Hux didn't know much. He was a newcomer who had just joined the society and was lucky enough to survive the Space Marine transformation surgery. He had no foundation and no status, and had no access to the core secrets of perfect humans. He didn't even know as much as his teammates.

But on the other hand, Hux is very important. Monroe Melville attaches great importance to this Space Marine. He is the first Space Marine created by perfect humans. One detail shows that all of Hux's tasks were issued by Monroe in person, and no middle-level management cadres had contact with him.

He is very important.

But he really didn't know much.

This contradiction made No. 56 a little unsure. As Hux said, he had other reincarnated lives. Even if No. 56 killed him, at most he would gain a bunch of assimilation points and a corpse for Master Quinto to study. No. 56 was not satisfied with just getting these. It was a rare opportunity to catch a big fish, so he wanted to get more information.

Hux and Sugawara Mao are different. Hux is a reincarnation, while Sugawara Mao is a local native. The former can be resurrected after death, but the latter is really dead after death. Therefore, Sugawara Mao was very cooperative after being captured, and was even willing to take the initiative to confess many secrets about Amaterasu. However, it is very difficult to convince a player to turn against the enemy. No. 56 tried to find out that this guy had no intention of being a double agent at all.

Of course he agreed verbally.

But No. 56 could not hide his true thoughts.

"The little bastard is quite loyal..."

Number 56 narrowed his eyes and thought silently.

A loyal person can't become a traitor?
Not necessarily.

Number 56 glanced at the corner of the cell.

There were a bunch of machines and a few tubes of medicine there.

The dream machine and sleeping pills from Inception.

That was the equipment Qingshan Khan had given him earlier.

I want to implant an idea in him.

Then put him back into perfect human form.

Number 56 began to slowly outline a plan in his mind.
