Chapter 18 The Ministry of Peace

The blindfold was pulled off, and the strong light from the front penetrated the thin eyelid skin, hurting Qin Yu's eyeballs.

"Name." The interrogator's voice was very cold, "Qin Yu? Is that his real name?"

Qin Yu opened his eyes and tried to regain focus.It took him a few seconds to barely see the people in front of him. They were two men wearing masks and goggles.One of them was very close to him and was shining a bright flashlight into his right pupil.

"..." Qin Yu subconsciously moved his lips, but did not make a sound.He felt nauseous, his stomach constricted wildly from the dizziness from the bright light.

"The pupil reaction is slow, and I'm not fully awake yet." The person who was close said, "The effect of the anesthetic will last for a while."

"Then wait for a few more minutes." Another person said, "Look at his application form, it was issued by the Secretary Department, did you send someone there?"

"Sent." Qin Yu's eyelids were loosened, and the light of the flashlight went out, "This one was sent after he was arrested, and it should have been surrounded by now."

"That's good. Although it's the secretarial department, you can't take it lightly. After all, it's hard to say in this era. Anyone may be a spy from the south."

The voices of those people were soft and sometimes heavy, as if separated by a thick membrane.Qin Yu's muscles were sore and swollen, his neck seemed to be broken, and he could hardly support his head.He could feel that he was sitting on a chair, and because of some force, he was forced to sit upright.When he tried to move with all his strength, he realized that his hands were handcuffed behind the chair and his legs were tied together with a rope or something.

I couldn't move, not even my fingers.He wanted to lift his head up, but he couldn't. He seemed to be thrown into the bottom of the sea, lack of oxygen, weightless, blurred spots of light constantly flickering on his retina.He lost his sense of time until swish—someone turned on the faucet.

After dozens of seconds or minutes, a bucket of cold water poured down.

Qin Yu trembled all over and woke up with a start.

The interrogator said with satisfaction: "It's better as it is, we can't follow these people too much."

Qin Yu half closed his eyes, cold water ran down his hair and onto his eyelids.The person opposite asked again: "Qin Yu, is this your real name?"

"..." Qin Yu didn't know whether he should answer.He had no way to think about what kind of results would be brought about by an affirmative or negative answer, so he could only respond in silence.

"It's not okay to be so passive," said the interrogator. "I need your cooperation."

Then an iron box on the table was opened, the needle inside was taken out, and the light yellow liquid was injected from the arm.The drug reacted very quickly, Qin Yu's heartbeat began to speed up, and his body temperature rose significantly.A strange impulse rose in his body, so that his handcuffed hands trembled violently.

"It's comfortable, isn't it?" the interrogator patted his cheek. "Want to talk to us now?"

Qin Yu felt that the water droplets staying on his skin gradually became hot, which caused his capillaries to dilate uncontrollably.He felt an eerie, light comfort, and the false pleasure from the cerebral cortex made it hard for him to remain silent. He opened his mouth and let out a very small gasp.

"Ask one last time, Qin Yu, is that your real name?"

"……Yes."

"Very good. Qin Yu, thank you for your cooperation. Now we want to ask you some questions about your theft of important documents from the Information Department. Can you guarantee that every answer you make next will come from the bottom of your heart and be absolutely sincere? "

"……Do not."

"No?" said the interrogator. "You mean you don't want to cooperate, don't you?"

Qin Yu knew he shouldn't answer, but he couldn't control it.His vocal chords couldn't help themselves to silence when thoughts came to his head.He could only bite his lip desperately, making the voice overflowing from his throat indistinct.

"You are too stubborn." The interrogator said, "Do you know where this is? This is the Ministry of Peace. Every citizen should cooperate with our work."

... the Ministry of Peace.These words slipped through Qin Yu's mind, making him think of something in his dazed state.He was supposed to be in the Ministry of Information to get the peace agreement for Bai Hanming.

The interrogator said: "Your rebellion is very obvious, and you have no respect for the alliance and the system."

Qin Yu opened his eyes with difficulty. Not far away, there was a small camera next to the recorder, and the red light on the camera was shining.At the same time, holding a pen, he truly recorded the conclusion that the interrogator had just drawn on the interrogation recording paper.

The interrogator picked up a small taser gun from the table: "Did you sneak into the Information Department alone? Who do you obey?"

Qin Yu didn't speak.He raised his head and leaned against the back of the chair, the excessively dilated pupils still couldn't focus accurately.

"He was stunned by an anesthetic, and you injected thiopental sodium just now, he may not be able to deal with such a complicated question, you should ask him yes or no." The recorder reminded, "Be gentle, this is an Omega. "

The interrogator nodded and said, "It's the first time I've interrogated Omega, and Alphas have. As long as the electric shock is used, those Alphas will secrete a large amount of pheromone. That state is very good for them to tell the truth. I don't know what Omega will do. Sample."

"You can try it too," said the recorder, "but you have to be quick and make a quick decision. They are still waiting for evidence to detain our Deputy Secretary-General."

"That's right." The interrogator opened the safety on the Taser gun, and pressed the tip of the gun against Qin Yu's skin.He said in a kind but threatening tone: "I'm asking from the beginning, please answer carefully. First of all, you entered the Information Department to steal document No. 03, right?"

Qin Yu: "...Document No. 03, what is it?"

"Are you pretending to be stupid?" The interrogator picked up a document on the table and put it close to Qin Yu's face.Qin Yu saw several large characters deeply engraved on the paper, surrounded by green olive branches.

"That's it," said the interrogator. "Do you know what's written in it? Speaking of which, it's a Civil War settlement, but that's just a whitewash. The signed arms limitation treaty is a symbol of defeat and humiliation for them. So here comes the question, as a member of the Northern Alliance, what is your purpose of stealing him? Do you want to help the Southern Alliance destroy the treaty?"

Qin Yu wanted to shake his head, but his chaotic brain prevented him from controlling his body freely.

"Well, this question may still be too complicated for you," the interrogator said. "Let me make it simpler. Who ordered you to steal this document? Is it Xiye?"

This question is indeed simple enough, so simple that even in this state, Qin Yu clearly knows that he must not answer.

He had bitten his lip, and tasted a faint taste of blood on the tip of his tongue.The interrogator waited patiently for a few seconds, but Qin Yu still hung his head and did not respond.

After confirming that Qin Yu had no intention of speaking, he regretfully pressed the button of the electric shock device.

Lin Yi had to doubt his recent fortune. It seemed that this iron staircase had been cursed by someone. As long as he stepped on it, he would definitely encounter an accident.

He was forced to give up his plan to buy breakfast and took Li Huaishan back upstairs.When he opened the door, Bo Hanming and Twelve were chatting about the cause of the war in the old calendar—their conversation was unhurried, because there should be plenty of time.Berhaming wants to understand the goals and principles of 12 and the organization behind him, while 12 tries to get some conveniences from him that they lack, which Berhamming can just provide.

In short, their conversation proceeded slowly, and it could be said that they had just begun.They talked about the root cause of the outbreak of war - the expanding population and the poor resources that cannot be evenly distributed, the starting point of all human contradictions.

As a former professor of bioengineering, 12 is very good at telling this.He described to Berhaming a very interesting idea called "Escape from Earth and World Peace".

This was an academic initiative put forward by physicists in Europe in the 70s.At that time, factions between the various regions of the earth had gradually formed, and the relationship between North and South began to collapse.The game between regimes guides the consciousness and behavior of groups, and various opposing views continue to volatilize in the globalized Internet.People turn on each other and think each other is cunning, vile, selfish.The deterioration of political relations has made such attacks mainstream, correct, and the most ingenious political tool.And the direct result of such a big environment is the war itself.Because it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong and superiority in disputes and negotiations, only the most primitive violence can delineate the class and obedience relationship for the world that meets human expectations.

"But war is the business of politicians and military strategists. We who engage in science are very merciful." Holding the beer can in his hand, 12 told Berhaming the past in a soft tone, "so they used 15 Years, they want to break through black holes or wormholes, break through time and space, and let human beings go to the universe. Because they believe that the vast universe can relieve the pressure of resource allocation. Moreover, after witnessing the vast universe, people may realize their own Insignificant, no longer confused by personal obsessions and contradictions, in this way, war may not break out."

Berhaming must admit that this argument is charming, a very romantic fantasy.But there is a fatal weakness in this point of view, that is, his cognition requirements for people are too high.First, you need to know the existence of the universe, and second, you need to understand the grandeur of the universe.And when you explain this to a person who doesn't even know the speed of light, the other person can't understand that there are tens of thousands of years between the bright stars in the night and your own insignificant pain.

"You're right." 12 frankly agreed with Bo Hanming's opinion, "So this view failed. Humans did not fly into the universe, and wars broke out on time. I don't want to argue with you about the correctness of this view, but just want to Said, I have been thinking about what kind of guidance science and politics can really bring to human civilization—"

When he said this, Lin's footsteps that left and returned attracted the attention of two people.The narrow door of the room was pushed open, and Bai Hanming looked over Lin Yi's shoulder and saw Li Huaishan behind him with an anxious expression on his face.

Bai Hanming suddenly had a bad premonition, and Li Huaishan immediately proved the correctness of this premonition.

"Qin Yu lost contact after entering the Ministry of Information."

This is the first sentence that Li Huaishan blurted out, and the worse news is: "The car of the Ministry of Peace appeared at the entrance of the information department, and Mr. Xi's secretary department was also surrounded—"

It took Bai Hanming a few seconds to digest the information contained in Li Huaishan's two sentences.

In fact, the situation is not difficult to understand.The Ministry of Peace is the most special department in the alliance, responsible for the investigation and interrogation of all treasonous acts.Qin Yu lost contact with the Information Department, and the Secretary Department was also surrounded. The only possibility is that there was a flaw in Xi Ye's plan, which led to Qin Yu being arrested on the way to take the peace agreement, and Xi Ye himself was also exposed.

"Ministry of Peace." Bai Hanming said, "Has Qin Yu been taken away?"

Li Huaishan: "It should be. The specific situation should be clearer on Mr. Xi's side."

Bai Hanming's gaze became very deep, and cold sweat broke out on Li Huaishan's back.A few seconds later, Bai Hanming stood up.He looked at Lin Yi who was standing blankly at the door, and politely asked if he could use the phone in the room. After getting Lin Yi's permission, he picked up the receiver and quickly dialed a number.

"Arrange three teams and surround the Ministry of Peace." Bai Hanming looked as usual, and said succinctly to the receiver: "My man was arrested by mistake, don't let him suffer."

Lin Yi trembled all over, flinching with his arms folded.Li Huaishan's expression was also somewhat unspeakable.

"I'll be there in 10 minutes." Bai Hanming glanced at them and hung up the phone.
