Interstellar leader

Jörg stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office. The orange light from the setting sun before it fell to the horizon dispelled some of the haze in his heart, but it still couldn't let his tightly locked brows loosen.He closed the tablet in his hand and gently put it back on the table.

Not far away, Olivia was struggling to sort out the mountain of official documents - about the possible war plan, the nomination of the next speaker, deputy speaker, and senior councilors, the development of the desolate area of ​​the centaur arm, and the Orion constellation. The Federation's diplomatic negotiations... any one of them can cause the parliament to quarrel for a long time.Just the name of a string of proposals on the light screen is shockingly long, let alone click in to read those lengthy expositions with righteous rhetoric, in the end the purpose is only to profit for one's own side.

Over the past ten years, he has also been used to these intrigues, and he has done it better than anyone else.What's more, he also has a capable assistant, and these official duties that would make any other congressman's head explode are not difficult for him.What worries him now is something else.

"Olivia."

The cold voice unique to her boss rang in her ears, and Olivia raised her fair fingers to rub the center of her brows, struggling to get out of a pile of work. "exist."

"Is there no news from the Intelligence Bureau?" Joerg turned around, his face against the light was not clear, and his usually sharp blue eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of gray, revealing a little worry.

"Yes." Olivia frowned her delicate eyebrows. Even though she didn't want to say it, she answered honestly, "It's just bad news."

"Just tell me what you have." Joerg was obviously ready to receive the death notice.

"The three remaining spies we had in Windshadi all died. After one of them was accidentally exposed, the other two were involved. Under careful hunting, they were executed one after another within two days."

"Where's Isaac?"

"This... I don't know yet."

Joerg's brows loosened slightly.At this moment, his communication bracelet suddenly lit up, and a single line of words appeared in the air.

"I am in good condition. I have sneaked into the high-level. The channel still needs to be debugged. Do not reply. il"

For a moment, Joerg froze in place.He stared at the message and turned it over and over several times, only to find that there was nothing but sentences.There is no address, no sender, and it cannot be traced. It seems to have appeared out of thin air, which is even more incredible than the secret channel they used before.

He walked to the sofa and sat down casually. The nerves that had been tense for a month seemed to be completely relaxed at this moment, and he even showed a long-lost smile from the heart.

"What?" Olivia was secretly surprised when she saw Joerg's change at this moment.

"It's a message from Isaac," Jörg shook the communicator on his wrist, with a little complacency in his tone that he didn't realize, "It seems that I still underestimated his genius, I think he will It brought us a lot of surprises.”

He's not from your family, so why so proud?Olivia rolled her eyes inwardly, but she still had a ladylike smile on her face.

Li Qing stood in front of the Duke's office and rang the doorbell.The clear voice rang three times, but still no one responded.He stood quietly in front of the door for a while, staring at the pattern on the wall when he was bored, and colored it with four kinds of paints in his mind.

When the paint in his mind was almost covered with the plain and solemn wallpaper, and tended to extend to the ceiling, the thick black glass door opened, and the Duke's bodyguard, David, walked away carrying a large dark blue waterproof bag come out.The bag was bulging, with limbs protruding from both sides; the corners were also bulging, like water in a plastic bag.Li Qing guessed what was inside at a glance.

It was a bloody corpse.

"Come in, Isaac."

He stepped into the room, but there was no smell of blood as he had imagined.The room was still so clean, not a trace of blood on the floor or carpet.On the contrary, the faint scent of sex floating in the air is particularly noticeable. Windesa is leaning lazily on the back of the chair, her clothes are generally neat, but her breathing is still a little short, and the blush on her face has not faded .A woman with flaxen curly hair stood beside him, with her back to Li Qing, seeming to be tidying her clothes in a hurry.

Li Qing: "..." Why don't you let me think about the four-color problem outside for a few minutes?

Cough cough, despite the embarrassment, keep a polite smile.

"Abby," the Duke raised the corners of his mouth playfully, "what are you doing turning around? Why weren't you shy in front of David just now?"

Abby?The name, the hairstyle...

The woman turned around obediently, and Li Qing saw her face.

Sure enough, it was Abigail Blue.

Li Qing still remembered his dream, Lan was suspected to be the leader of a gangster organization.It's not easy to be one of the Duke's confidantes, but she didn't expect her to climb into his bed.

Not to mention that the Duke has always played with those women who have no power and are easy to manipulate. It should be difficult for Lan just to overcome the resistance - Li Qing can tell that Lan is not "that kind of person".In the end for what, you can disregard dignity?

Li Qing just sighed in his heart that it's been a long time, Lan tidied up and left with his head down.The moment they passed by, Li Qing noticed that her shoulders were trembling slightly.

"They have already started to act." Li Qing said straight to the point, "Adolf An's people are collecting evidence of corruption from some of the court's supporters or neutral ministers. It is estimated that there will be an impeachment in the Council of the Elders next week. .”

"Do you think this is useful?" The Duke chuckled, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

"To be honest, there are many nobles in the empire, and their relationships are intricate. After talking about it for so long, they haven't figured out why. Even if we don't care about it, they can solve it by themselves. Unless they have some key evidence, Wendou will not be able to fight. Yes, assassination can have a surprise effect-as long as you don't get caught by the tail."

"What about the information?"

"I've already sorted it out and sent it to you, but," there was a meaningful pause, "you seem to be busy."

The Duke laughed, "Are you dissatisfied with Abigail? Have you ever slept with her?"

The point is completely wrong, okay? !Of course Li Qing didn't want to take the risk of offending the Duke to remind him. In fact, for Li Qing, the empire's power class is of course as useless as possible. Broken—but now, he and Windesa are like grasshoppers tied to a rope. When the Duke falls, he will be finished too, and there will be no scum left.

"Of course not. I just think it's necessary to remind you not to waste time because of these things. Information waits for no one."

"Oh? To be honest?" The Duke raised his eyebrows, "I won't be angry."

"Really not." Li Qing was helpless.

"You are not tempted by such a beautiful woman? I think she is interesting to you. Didn't you see the way she looked at you? Tsk tsk tsk..." The Duke stood up and straightened his clothes again. Go somewhere, have business to do."

Under the silver carpet in the office, there is actually a secret passage, with countless steps winding down, leading to the deep basement.Li Qing followed Windesa, calculated the depth, and after walking down 30 meters, two lights finally lit up on both sides of the dark corridor, and the stairs came to an end.

Windesa stretched out his finger and pressed on the recognition device, and the heavy iron door opened to both sides without a sound.In an instant, the pungent smell of blood, faint rotten smell mixed with sweat and body odor rushed into Li Qing's nasal cavity, and he couldn't help coughing twice to suppress the retching reaction in his throat.

It turned out that the corpse that David carried out before came from here.

The scene behind the door vividly interprets the meaning of the word "hell on earth".The end of the endless corridor is pitch black, like a giant beast that chooses to eat people; the lights on both sides are full of blue and crimson, like the will-o'-the-wisps in the underworld in myths and legends; the two rows of cells are neatly arranged, and the black fence Divide the scene inside into pieces.Each cell is not separated by glass, so that when a prisoner is being tortured, everyone else can hear the screams and smell the blood, which brings great psychological pressure to them.If things go on like this, I am afraid that no one will not collapse.

These cells were not full, and after walking more than ten meters, there was no one on either side.Only the indelible stains on the white floor showed the fact that someone had been tortured here.

The Duke walked very slowly, as if to let Li Qing observe carefully.When passing by cell No. 39, the Duke smiled, pointed to a pile of things that could no longer be seen in human form, and said to Li Qing: "David's efficiency is really getting lower and lower, and the cleaning work is really not in place. This one seems to be two days old. Looks like I'll have to deduct his extra bonus for next month."

The blood had solidified into black clots, and the broken limbs were scattered on the white floor, which was particularly conspicuous.The deep and shallow corpse spots on the torso are mixed with the scars from the severe beatings during his lifetime, which is shocking.

Li Qing forced himself to calm down, he began to deceive himself.Don't think about how this corpse was a living person a few days ago, or what pain he has been through.Now it's just a bunch of organic matter - the composition of organs, the superposition of tissues, the fitting of cells - no matter what, it still has to return to atoms.

"How could it be like this?" As soon as the words came out, he found that there was still a tremor in his voice.

When the Duke heard this, the corners of his mouth gradually raised into a cold arc, "Of course it's because he didn't cooperate. Who do you think are imprisoned here? Except for spies and assassins, they are traitors. I won't show any mercy to them, Of course, it can be as cruel as it is."

Windesa brought Li Qing here, it was not a demonstration at all.These messy and bloody scenes all hinted to him: If you betray, the next corpse lying there will be you.

After walking about 1000 meters, Windesha finally stopped at the end.A prison guard was wrapped in a black hooded cloak, with only a bearded chin exposed, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.Seeing the Duke, he bowed respectfully and opened the iron door for him.

The author has something to say: Well, the duke is a big pervert, the kind who can't be washed away even after Li Bai is added.

Li Qing has been very busy recently, too busy to have time to fall in love, don't worry everyone, the days are still long.
