Chapter 2062 Scarlet Interrogation
At the front of this cold hibernation warehouse, which looks like a prison and a grave, are thirty-six hibernation warehouses that are relatively large, have a very smooth outer shell, and look very advanced. Looking in through the translucent observation hole, you can also see thirty-six hibernation people curled up in a baby-like posture.
But these hibernators are different from those who were just convicted of "inciting, rioting and endangering national security". From the back of their heads, they are nailed down the spine, and every few centimeters a complex and shiny nail is nailed into it. The top of the nail is connected by a solid and cumbersome mechanical structure, and it also extends to their limbs and extends to their fingertips, like some weird exoskeleton structure.
Li Yao imagined that these nails were nailed into the gaps in their spine bones, controlling the spinal cord, central nerves, and limbs.
Even if they get rid of their hibernation and are entangled with such shackles, they are afraid there is no room for resistance.
So, they are not passengers, they are also... prisoners.
Think about it, this is a transport ship that jumps between the worlds in the interior of the Real Human Empire. Judging from the structure and the performance of the power cabin, it is not suitable for performing ultra-long-distance long-range star sea jumping missions. It doesn't take long to travel and travel, and the crew does not need to hibernate.
Li Yao was very sensitive to the invisible spiritual energy in these hibernators.
Especially in the center of their eyebrows, even if they fell into a deep sleep state, there was still a small group of existences similar to "virtual neurons" jumping weakly.
That is where the spiritual roots are located.
"Their spiritual roots have awakened. Are they cultivators or..."
There is also a small crystal brain next to the hibernation warehouse of these thirty-six spiritual root awakeners. The information about their bodies is much more detailed than that of ordinary people, including their great realm, small level, and daily practice techniques, and even includes several battle videos of their battle.
However, there is no name or background for them, only a string of simple numbers, and a new charge: "Crime of malfeasance, treason, and crime against humanity".
The majority of people who awaken spiritual roots are guilty of one or two of these three, and some even have all three. Of course, the strongest one is also the strongest. After reaching the early stage of the Kalpa period, he was firmly bound by an extra thick shackle. Hundreds of crystal lines spread out from the top of the shackle, extending along the back of his head to the front, and penetrated deeply into his brain from his nostrils, ear holes and corners of his eyes.
Judging from his expression of his eyes closed, his eyes trembling rapidly, and his face was covered with ferocious and distorted expressions, even though his flesh and blood body was sealed in the extremely low temperature, his soul was still suffering from indescribable torture in the frost hell.
"If you are a cultivator, then both 'traitor' and 'crimes against humanity' are easy to understand."
Li Yao thought, "But what should we say about 'dereliction of duty'? Even if we randomly fabricate charges, we usually don't make up such a strange charge, right?"
The cold warehouse was silent in the ice warehouse, with only a few psionic puppets moving forward mechanically according to the patrol route, adding a bit of gloomy feeling, making people unwilling to stay here for a long time.
Li Yao weighed for a moment, withdrew thousands of spiritual thoughts and returned to the power compartment near the smoky and toxic gas at the tail of the ship.
There was no secret in front of him. Whether it was the lick of every wisp of fire, the explosion of every fuel delivery pipeline, or the actions of every immortal cultivator in the damaging tube group, they were all decomposed and stripped layer by layer like crystal clear virtual pictures, appearing in his brain in the most basic data and model.
"boom!"
When a crew member of a team of damaging pipes rushed past the corridor next to the power cabin, Li Yao thought to himself that an auxiliary combustion agent pipeline that had been moved by his air-to-air control technique suddenly broke. The auxiliary combustion agent that had instantly vaporized and expanded tens of thousands of times collided with the poisonous fog, causing a new explosion, and everyone was swallowed by the poisonous flames, and even was bombarded by the shock wave for dozens of meters, hitting the end of the corridor.
The scene was chaotic, with explosions and screams everywhere, all lighting and monitoring systems were in chaos, the injured dragged their broken limbs and their broken arms and tried desperately to escape from the flames. Those who were lucky enough to be injured were also seriously damaged, inhaling a large amount of poisonous gas, in a daze, and dizzy, colliding in the poisonous fog and demonic flames like headless flies.
In such chaos, no one noticed that their little leader was blown away by the shock wave to the end of the corridor and disappeared into the thick poisonous mist as thick as ink!
Li Yao spread his five fingers, pinched the void, and grabbed the little leader's head like an iron plier. His strength was so great that even the strongest crystal armor helmet "squeaked" and would burst at any time.
Widths of spiritual energy flowed over like a poisonous snake, instantly cutting off all the talisman arrays and chips that the crystal armor could transmit information from the outside world, and then pierced the crystal brain, causing the crystal armor to become paralyzed and turned into a tightly shaped iron coffin.
Li Yao then calmly pulled the little boss to the secret corner. He carefully studied the structure around the power cabin, and deduced it based on the current damage situation. He also issued hundreds of thoughts to warn him from all directions. For at least five minutes, no one would come to "disturb him".
"Bang!"
Li Yao slightly strengthened his strength, and made of super alloys and special ceramics, which can withstand close bombardment of arrow blasters, immediately burst like an exquisite vase. What is amazing is that the head under the crystal armor did not suffer any damage at all, and even a blood mark was not scratched out in the burst of fragments of the Tiannv scattered flowers.
The little leader's face was pale and he didn't know what was going on.
But looking at Li Yao's aura as if he was like a demon, his unfathomable eyes were like a hyena facing a velociraptor, and he could not even have the strength to make a scream.
Li Yao curled the corner of his mouth, too lazy to talk nonsense to this person, his left eye gradually turned red, and wisps of strange blood burst out from the depths of his pupils, and even drilled out of his eyeballs, growing and extending in the void, and finally pierced into the eyes of the little leader.
The little leader showed an expression of extreme fear and trance, twitching like an electric shock, and a "hiss" sound came from hissing in his throat. It could not condense into a scream, and there was no substantial resistance.
Until the end, his eyes turned blood red, and his face was covered with protruding blood, like a big spider lying on his facial features.
"Okay, ask."
The blood-colored inner demon said with a smile.
The gap between the two sides is too big. Li Yao does not use any means of torture or language games, so that the blood-colored inner demon can directly break through the other party's spiritual defense line and simply hypnotize it roughly.
Li Yao said: "Who are you and what tasks are you carrying out?"
The blood on the face of the little leader kept wriggling, like nematodes continuously absorbing secrets from the cerebral cortex and folds. After half a second, he clearly and quickly said: "We are the No. 221 transport ship of the 'Geno Ursa Transportation Group', which is carrying out a regular transportation mission to transport a batch of supplies to the Tianyan Group at the Starry Sky Base of the Poison Scorpion Cluster, Wuyingjie."
"Tianyan Group?"
Li Yao thought to himself that it seemed that this was the power of cultivators who controlled the "City of Sky, Manzhushahua". After thinking about it, he asked again: "Did you encounter a storm in the Star Sea during your voyage?"
"Yes."
The little boss said, "Short after we set out from the 'Spirit Snake Realm' twelve days ago, we suddenly encountered a large-scale starry sea storm, barely supporting us all the way here."
Li Yao continued to ask: "The goods you transport are those people in the hibernation warehouse? Who are those people? What are they transported to the 'City of Sky, Manzhu Shahua' to do?"
“Those are prisoners.”
The little leader looked dull and his eyes were frozen, but his thoughts were very clear and his speech was getting faster and faster, just like some mysterious force was forcibly reading information from his brain. "He was a serious prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment and reprieve of death sentence. He was sent to the prison of 'Sky City, Manjushahua' to serve his sentence."
Li Yao was slightly stunned: "Is there a prison on the 'City of Sky, Manzhushahua'?"
"Yes, there is a very large private prison there, which is among the best in all the star prisons in the entire empire."
The little leader said, "We, the Giant Ursa Transportation Group, and the Sky Eye Group, have signed a transportation contract, and every year they will help them transport a large number of prisoners from all over the Xinghai to serve their sentences."
"I saw their charges, incitement, riots, malfeasance, treason, endangering national security and even... crimes against humanity."
Li Yao said, "But there are only crimes and no detailed criminal information. Do you know how they committed the crime?"
The little leader hesitated for a moment and said, "We only care about transportation, arrest or trial of someone else, just hearsay."
"It doesn't matter."
A few more strands of blood appeared in Li Yao's left eye, and they were nailed into the other party's eyes. "Tell me everything you heard, hurry up!"
The little leader trembled all over, his eyes whirled quickly, and he said like a dream: "They seem to be miners on a remote resource planet in the Spirit Snake Realm. Because they were dissatisfied with their working conditions, the compensation measures after several mine accidents were not in place. In short, they first went on strike, then illegally marched, and finally turned into an armed riot. After being quickly suppressed, all the backbone members of the riot were sentenced to life imprisonment and reprieve, and were sent here to serve their sentences."
"I see."
Li Yao said in his heart, no wonder no matter men, women, young and old, even if he does not awaken his spiritual roots, he is quite strong. He turns out to be a miner.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Where are those who are convicted of 'dereliction of duty' and other crimes and are imprisoned? They are also miners?"
"No, they seem to be the heads of the local mining group, and they are all cultivators. Because they are unfavorable in handling the situation, they are too ruthless in the process of suppressing illegal marches and armed riots, which further expands the situation. Therefore, they were sentenced to 'de-duty' and sent here together."
The little leader paused and said, "I heard that there are quite a few of them who are suspected of sympathizing with the rioters. They are suspected to have been infiltrated and polluted by the Holy Alliance, so the sentence is particularly severe, and there are crimes such as "crime against humanity."
