go off fire

The prince was standing in the monitoring center of the hotel, looking at the images of the personnel. The intruder has been controlled and detained in the interrogation room.

"Sir!" Eric saw him, snapped to attention, and saluted him.Leonard nodded and walked to Levi's side.

Thinking about Elite, he said to himself secretly, and then squeezed out a businesslike smile: "Your Highness, for your safety, I think you'd better move earlier. This place is no longer safe."

Levi turned his face slightly, pulled his blond hair behind his ears, and glanced at him: "I have seen the image of this intruder several times." He pointed to the realistic portrait on the light curtain, " At the same time, I also inspected the original surveillance throughout the hotel and the invisible camera devices you have installed."

"And then?" Leonard crossed his arms, and he wanted to see what Levi could come up with.

"Except for the temporary monitoring device installed in my room, none of the surveillance cameras captured her figure."

Leonard instantly noticed the strangeness, glanced at Eric, and got an affirmative answer from the adjutant, and couldn't help frowning: "You mean, our internal security plan has been leaked?"

None of the security personnel saw the intruder, and none of the surveillance cameras captured her entering. She walked into the prince's suite almost grandiosely.

This can only mean that either the system of the logistics department was hacked, or, Leonard narrowed his eyes and stared at the intruder in the interrogation room, someone in the logistics department leaked everything.

This is very bad.

Today's Star Alliance has hundreds of members, ranging from countries like the Federation and the Kingdom of Heron that own more than half of the galaxy to as small as a free city-state with only one planet.Wherever there are people, there is the entanglement of interests.The Federation has been sending troops to suppress the border planets all year round. Of course, various resistance organizations will emerge as the times require.It would be unimaginable if one of these organizations already had the ability to infiltrate the federal capital and enter the logistics department under the military department.

"I guess the other party must know something about the place where I might be transferred. Even—" the prince paused for a moment, tapping the table with his fingertips, "just to force me to leave the hotel and ambushe me halfway."

Everyone present was silent.What the prince said made sense.The behavior of this intruder was more like demonstration and provocation.Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to tie a bomb and die with the prince?

Since they didn't do this, it also shows that their purpose is to kidnap rather than kill.

"I'm going to interrogate the intruder." Leonard finally said, turned and walked out, Eric followed immediately and reported the current progress to him.

"We have already used veritaserum, but this person is very resistant to the drug, and he should have undergone relevant training before."

"You didn't ask about the purpose, the forces you belong to, and the information channels?" Leonard said angrily to the adjutant.Levi's reasoning just now slapped the security department in the face mercilessly.

Although he didn't say a word, the implication hidden under that arrogant and cold expression was undoubtedly that the logistics department was all idiots.

"No." Eric didn't know why Leonard was so irritable today, could it be because of getting up?

A subordinate said: "Torture violates the alliance agreement, and medicine is ineffective."

"Idiot!" Leonard scolded, "How can you speak humanely to someone who is trying to kidnap or kill a prince? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

Soldiers like Leonard, who have been on the battlefield and confronted various resistance organizations, know how dangerous this world really is, and this kind of danger, these young masters who are used to staying in the capital will not understand.

The people in the lower circle suddenly fell silent, and no one wanted to be the fuse of the war between the two countries.Most of them are inserted by various families. The logistics department is used as a springboard, and they will go to higher positions after staying for a few years.

"Double the dose!" Leonard ordered firmly.

"Yes, sir!"

The headlights in the temporary interrogation room were turned on, and the dazzling light woke up the young woman who was in a trance.She has black hair, looks to be in her early twenties, and has a distinctly Frontier-planet appearance.

This kind of people is not uncommon. Evansted is a planet with extremely fast turnover of people. All kinds of people come here with dreams, hoping to achieve a big business, but the cruel reality is that the big business is often killed. They, like Leonard, a former ace pilot who is now working as a bodyguard for His Highness the Prince, had to crawl out of her husband's arms in the middle of the night to interrogate a suspect who had nothing to do with him.

There is no doubt that this account was counted on the head of His Highness the Prince.

"Name?" He sat in front of the young woman carelessly.

"Eva Snowden."

"age?"

"23." The woman opened her eyes again, subconsciously answering the question.At the same time, the lines of the polygraph were advancing steadily.

"Where are you from?"

"..."

"Which faction do you serve? Black sand? Saint Joseph?" Leonard casually reported the names of several famous resistance organizations

The lieutenant colonel was still silent.The young woman pressed her lips tightly again, refusing to reveal any more information.But the lines shown by the polygraph have fluctuated.This shows that she has started to panic, maybe she is a member of a resistance organization.

"Add half the dose of Veritaserum." Leonard looked at the lines on the lie detector and ordered again.

Eric objected: "Sir, the current dose has exceeded the maximum, plus it will cause permanent damage to her brain, and she may not be able to wake up for the rest of her life."

"What nonsense, add!" Leonard was about to lecture his adjutant.

At this moment, Levi also came in, holding a small bottle containing a transparent liquid in his hand.

Leonard's provocative eyes immediately shot over, but the prince walked past the lieutenant colonel as if he didn't notice, and stopped beside Eva Snowden.Parting her long hair, dipped her fingers in the liquid, and dabbed it on the back of the female suspect's neck twice, then turned her chair half a turn, and a special symbol was revealed.

"She is a member of the Silent One. There must be this mark somewhere on the body of the Silent One, and it can only be revealed with a special potion." The prince explained.

"How do you know there will be a mark here?"

"Since entering the interrogation room, she has been subconsciously leaning her back against the wall. I think she must be hiding something. This mark is still very new, with some red and swollen marks."

"Sir, what is the Silencer? A resistance organization?" Eric asked quietly, but Leonard didn't answer him.He stared at the suspect, who was gradually losing consciousness, a dark cloud hung over his face.

Leonard is no stranger to this imprint. The Neptune symbol surrounded by thorns represents nothingness and mystery. Just like the name of this organization, the silent ones, no one has ever known its true meaning.

Leonard's face darkened: "I thought that the Silent One had been wiped out five years ago." The military department once called it a great victory.

"If weeds are not uprooted, disasters will happen sooner or later. I am not surprised. Has anyone told you that the action five years ago did not go to the end?" Levi put down the potion in his hand, looked up at Reina Germany.The ice-blue eyes emitted a sharp light, piercing straight into the most feared part of the lieutenant colonel's heart.

"Increase the dose." The lieutenant colonel clenched his hands unconsciously, gritted his teeth, and almost said this sentence through the gap between his teeth.

"No need to add it." Levi said, and sat down beside Leonard.

"Here I have the final say." Lieutenant Colonel Summers repeatedly held back the anger in his heart and forced himself to calm down, but this person always seemed to easily break through his bottom line, especially when he had that kind of look on his face. When the clouds are calm and the wind is light, but there is a shameless smile.

"I've just asked relevant personnel to verify her records." Levi said, and from the portable optical computer on his wrist, he called up the information of Eva Snowden, and Ava and Snowden appeared on the light curtain suspended in midair. A photo of a stranger.

"This man is Eva's husband. Three months ago, he was diagnosed with cancer." In the interstellar era, cancer is no longer an incurable disease, but for ordinary people, the cost of cancer treatment is still not a small burden , "This is also the beginning of her frequent contact with a certain pastor. Within a week, she went to church three times. Before that, she did not believe in religion. Then, under the contact of this pastor, her husband got With the help of a charitable organization, he was healed."

Everything seems to be normal, but Leonard has keenly grasped the key point in this passage: "Three months ago, it was the time when the Federation internally determined your visit to Evansted, and she should be that was recruited."

"So no matter how much Veritaserum you inject, it's useless. She's just the lowest-level member of the Silencers. I'm afraid she doesn't even know what kind of organization the Silencers are." Levi said, "She's just a Bait, a cover-up. Instead of focusing on the interrogation, it is better to thoroughly check the hotel."

"I'm afraid His Highness has to go now." Leonard sneered, "If the intruder can't achieve the result they want, a backup plan may have already begun to be implemented."

The prince didn't refute this time, he stood up and said, "Then, let the lieutenant colonel work harder."

An hour has passed since the intruder was discovered, and the other party must have exhausted the patience to wait.

"Let's go." Summers also stood up, "Eric, drive the hover car to the side door of the hotel, we'll go down later."

"Yes, sir!" Although Eric didn't understand why the lieutenant colonel and His Royal Highness suddenly reached an agreement, the soldier's nature of obeying orders made him choose to obey the commander's arrangement.

The figure of the adjutant quickly disappeared from the room, leaving only Leonard and Levi.

Leonard was finally able not to suppress it deliberately, and immediately distanced himself from the prince: "Your Highness, I'm afraid your dress is too eye-catching." Not to mention how conspicuous this platinum and blue gorgeous uniform is, only Levi himself , is also eye-catching enough, he will always be the center of attention just by simply standing.

"It's very simple, just give me three minutes." The prince said.

------------

Before seeing the movement of the lieutenant colonel and the prince going downstairs, Eric always thought that the so-called coming down later was to walk down the fire escape normally.But the two seemed to have made up their minds to go the wrong way, and with just a few simple jumps—God, he didn't even see their movements clearly—they landed in front of the hover vehicle.

Worthy of being an ace pilot.He thought in admiration, this must be a stunt practiced by jumping from the cockpit of the mecha countless times.

Eric quickly sat in the co-pilot and gave up the driver's seat to the lieutenant colonel.Leonard took out the inspection equipment, scanned around, confirmed that the car was not equipped with a tracking device, and then activated the driving system.

"Sir, why don't we call a few more people?" Eric looked around and found that no more people came, and the car had slowly lifted off.

"There are spies among our people. The Silent One must know all the transfer routes and locations. Turn on the safety of your laser gun." Leonard looked around vigilantly.

Eric took out his pistol, confirmed that the safety was on, then looked in the rearview mirror, and suddenly found that His Royal Highness looked different.

He'd changed into a more ordinary black outfit—although he still looked damn handsome—and the color of his eyes and hair had changed.Eric opened his eyes wide in surprise, but only got the prince's deadpan expression in response.Now is obviously not a good time to ask questions.
