Since its completion in 97 AD, Alub has undergone more than ten expansions, large and small.
The most recent expansion was completed in 133 AD, and the purpose of the expansion was to build a new string particle beam base.
After the completion of the base, the research on string craftsmanship by the Supreme Academy of Sciences has officially entered the primary stage.
In order to ensure the safety of the newly built string particle beam base, Erub re-selected and relocated some important official institutions in the western city of Visikaya.
Among them, the Erub Maximum Security Section was moved from the West City, Visikaya, to the North City, which was originally exclusively occupied by the Arbiter.
The entry of the Supreme Security Division has gradually unveiled the mystery of the arbiter, and the collaboration and exchanges between the two parties have gradually increased.
Therefore, the work of arresting Oakham like today will be carried out by the Arbiter.
Of course, this is also a special matter.
After Okemu and Felim were brought back to Beicheng, they were not directly handed over to the Maximum Security Section. Instead, Jin Yuan and Zhang Yu were directly responsible for the follow-up.
…
The Arbiter's detention room is not a hopelessly small and closed structure as rumored outside.
At least the room that Filim is in now, when he first entered here, looks like a fully equipped guest room, and the night view of Erub in the distance can be seen outside the window.
It's just less freedom.
Philim sat by the window and looked for a while before hearing footsteps coming from outside the door.
However, what came in was not an armed man, but a beautifully dressed woman.
She brought Felim a change of clothes and a special bracelet.
After picking up the bracelet and looking at it, Philim asked: "What is this?"
The woman's eyes flashed twice: "This is an external 'Heart Listening' bracelet, which allows you to use various service facilities in the room."
External listening bracelet?
Philim thought for a moment and then remembered.
As free people, one of the biggest differences between them and the citizens of the Glorious Republic is that there is no "listening heart" core connected to the central rappel in their bodies.
This is one of the main reasons why they call themselves "freemen".
At least in the view of the Presbyterian Church, transmitting one's information every moment to a large central rappel engraved in accordance with the "Golden Bird Cage" is equivalent to handing over one's everything to the "God of Information". This kind of
What is the difference between sentient beings covered by the Internet and slaves?
But in Felim's view, there is still a huge difference between the central rappel and the "Golden Birdcage". At least... it will not try to taint rights like the "Golden Birdcage".
After putting on the bracelet, Filim asked: "I want to ask, where is the person who was brought back with me? Is he living in the same place as me?"
The woman replied: "That gentleman is under investigation now. He should go back to his room in about ten minutes, and you will be ready to be investigated next."
After that the woman left.
Ferim was lost in thought, then shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart: 'Today is really busy...'
…
"Are you going to remain silent forever?" The interrogator was losing patience.
Oakham sat lazily on the chair and sneered: "Since you have already mastered enough evidence, just inform the Presbyterian Council directly. There is no need to ask me again."
"Please pay attention to your attitude. Although you are now being tried as a 'free citizen', according to the provisions of Article 15 of the first paragraph, any illegal trade with the disciples within the jurisdiction of the Glorious Republic
Everyone will be judged, you don’t know this, right?”
Oakham rolled his eyes and said: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't care about your bullshit treaty! In short, I only know that as a 'free citizen', you must be notified in advance of any trial.
The Presbyterian Church in my camp! Otherwise it will be regarded as a unilateral slander! Do you need me to remind you of this?"
"You!" the interrogator said angrily.
Zhang Yu interrupted the call when he saw this, then patted the man on the shoulder and said: "Okay, it's just a process. You go and take a rest first. I will be responsible for the person below."
The interrogating officer was startled, and then hurriedly said: "Major General, how can this be possible?"
Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why not? I have more experience than you when it comes to questioning, so you should go back first."
The questioning officer couldn't say anything more and left obediently.
Oakham in the inquiry room looked at the time and shouted: "Hey, it's time! Take me back quickly, I'm hungry!"
Zhang Yu was delighted. He turned on the communication channel and said, "It seems that you are not worried about your situation at all."
Oakham: "Aren't you worried? How could I not be worried? I'm scared to death right now! But so what, I'm afraid, I'm hungry, I don't want to starve to death."
Zhang Yu was not angry after hearing this, and opened the door of the inquiry room. The passage outside the door was empty, with no guards or guides, but Zhang Yu was not worried at all that Oakham would escape.
Oakham knew this very well.
He got up and walked out, but when he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered, you are not the group of people who hunted in the Snowy Mountains last night, right?"
Zhang Yu didn't respond to him.
Oakham smiled: "Did I guess it right? Haha! I'm so sorry... you arbiters are so unpopular, so... you better not think about letting others die for you in the future."
After saying that, Oakham walked into the passage.
Zhang Yu smacked his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, the door opened again, and this time it was Philim who came in.
…
"sit down."
Philim sat down obediently, but he seemed to be more relaxed than Oakham.
Zhang Yu looked very strange and asked, "You know who we are, right?"
Felim nodded: "I know."
"Oh? But... you don't seem scared at all?"
Philim smiled: "What's the use of being afraid? It's not like you'll let me go if I'm afraid, right?"
Zhang Yu also laughed: "That's true, but carrying illegal contraband in the goods and selling them to the disciples is a red line that will cause you to lose your head. Have you really never been afraid?"
After thinking about it for a while, Felim smiled bitterly and said: "If I tell you that I don't know that our captain has something in this batch of goods, and I don't even know what it is and who it is sold to, you will believe me.
?"
Zhang Yu was startled, and then said easily: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? All the data show that what you said is true, but this will not make your crime much lighter after the trial begins, so... you now know that we are
Who is it?"
Firim understood, he nodded, and then said: "I understand, you are arbiters, a group of special personnel born in a special period. You have always acted in accordance with your own ideas. Those written in
To you, the things above should be considered useless... So... the best way for us to escape guilt is not to prove our innocence, but to make ourselves valuable, right?"
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he smiled and said: "It's comfortable to talk to smart people, but I personally hate smart people, so this is a bit embarrassing."
Before Philim came, he had already roughly deduced in his mind the possible problems that would be faced in the next conversation.
So he said: "Since you think I am a smart person, you should also know that smart people are always more inclined to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I will not sacrifice my basic personal interests for some moral things.
What's more... I am a prisoner now, and you are so powerful, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous to have such worries?"
Zhang Yu clicked his tongue, with a smile on his face, but his heart was cold. He secretly thought: 'Is this guy named Felim... really just an ordinary pioneer?'
"Well, that really made you laugh."
"Don't dare." When Philim said these words, he looked very calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was trembling all the time. Especially after what happened in the afternoon, he felt more and more that he was a little
The move was too reckless.
Although his identity has changed and his environment has changed, his original intention has not changed.
And only by surviving can he find himself and return to the earth.
"Since you are so smart, well, I won't make any detours." This is the purpose of Zhang Yu to distract the others. He shared a set of encrypted information with Felim through a separate channel.
Although it was his "first time" to use the "Heart Listening" bracelet, Philim quickly adapted to it.
After getting the encrypted information, Philim didn't rush to open it, nor did he stupidly ask "What is this?"
Because he knew that Zhang Yu had something more to say.
"You can have a good rest here tonight. People from the Maximum Security Division will be here tomorrow morning. I hope you can realize your mistakes and take the initiative to explain what you know or are involved in, so that you can be forgiven.
do you know?"
Felim smiled slightly and replied softly: "Okay, I will cooperate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the inquiry room opened.
Philim stood up and left the inquiry room.
The lights dimmed and the room above the inquiry room lit up.
Zhang Yu said: "This plan is very risky. Are you really not going to report it first?"
Jin Yuan, who had been standing in the dark before, came over and said: "What are you afraid of? Boss taught us to do things cheaply. What's more, this time we have strong enough helpers to back us up."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and then said: "But... do you feel that... the plan has been progressing too smoothly from the beginning to now?"
Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't think so."
"Um?"
"Damn it, it was so frozen in the snowy mountains last night, how can it be considered smooth?"
Zhang Yu chuckled: "I didn't mean that, I meant since we returned to Elub."
Jin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it thoughtfully, and then said: "Do you think this Filim will do bad things?"
Zhang Yu: "Yes, don't you think so?"
Jin Yuan smacked his lips, and then said: "Don't be afraid, I will be responsible for watching over him when the time comes. I would like to see how much trouble he can make!"
…
Felim, who had just returned to the room, felt a chill as soon as the door behind him closed, as if he was being watched by someone.
Subconsciously, I turned around and found nothing.
'Am I overthinking...' Felim pinched his eyebrows and sat down.
As soon as I sat down here, a few squares opened on the table, and then some steaming meals appeared.
But Felim didn't have any appetite now. After sitting for a while, he opened the encrypted information package he got from Zhang Yu.
There is a lot in this encrypted information package.
But after taking a brief look at it, Philim found that it was just some documentary content and there were no key details.
It seemed that the other party just wanted him to understand the general matter.
This is also normal.
Lying on the bed, after adjusting the resonance frequency of the listening heart to the matching frequency band, Felim closed his eyes.
…
"What on earth are these things, boss? They are so valuable." The tattooed man in leather jacket and pants asked the fat man next to him as he stared at the truck going away.
I know this fat man Firim,
It was the one who had been taught a lesson by Oakham's men when he first arrived at Elub in the morning.
"Shh, you kid, please keep a low profile!" The fat man blocked the mouth of the tattooed man next to him, then stuffed a handful of money into him and said: "Take it, if the news about what happened today is leaked, you will die.
!”
The tattooed man looked confused, but when he saw so much money, he didn’t care: “Thank you, boss!”
…
"Fifteen tons? Are you sure it's fifteen tons!?" After the truck left, a bald man in uniform in the warehouse looked shocked.
Another tall man wearing the same uniform wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "Yes! Fifteen tons of basic raw materials, these are the key raw materials for restarting Turaya."
"Damn... They actually lied to me and said it was just some residue! This is a huge loss!"
"Um... General Affairs... What we should worry about now is not losing money... Such a large amount of basic raw materials enters Alub from the Free Trade Port. If the arbiter discovers it..." The eldest man's voice sounded
They were all trembling a little.
"What did you say?" The bald man was startled, and then he showed a fierce look.
The eldest man was startled, and then hurriedly explained: "Um...General Affairs...I have no other intention...I'm just worried about what might happen..."
"Don't worry, no one else will know about this." The bald man touched the thought pistol behind him.
"Ah?" The eldest man still looked confused.
The trigger was pulled, and the eldest man fell down and fell into the crushing tunnel under the warehouse.
There was a "bang" in the darkness, and the bald man put away his gun and left slowly.
…
"The Arbiter has noticed our actions, and we must speed up the progress."
The speaker's face could not be seen in the darkness.
"Yes." The other side could barely see three figures of about the same height.
"In addition, sir is very satisfied with your performance. I hope you can stick to your position and carry out your will to the end."
"Yes!" The tone of the three people became much higher, and they seemed very excited.
…
"Huh..." Ferim opened his eyes, feeling horrified in his heart.
Although it was just some fragmentary fragments, he felt as if he had witnessed a shocking conspiracy!
This is all the contents of the information package.
However, Philim always felt that the most critical part was not these people and their conversations.
Sure enough, Ferim heard a message just after reading the contents of the information packet.
"If you are smart enough, you should start familiarizing yourself with the environment from now on."
Familiar with the environment?
Philim thought about it and understood.
So he closed his eyes again and entered the world in the information package...
…
Sure enough, someone knocked on the door early the next morning, but it was not the woman from before, but three men wearing dark gray police uniforms.
The emblem on their shoulders is a sword that breaks through the sky, which is the unified emblem of the Maximum Security Division.
Philim stood up consciously and put on the restraint.
When following the three people out of the Arbiter's building, Filim also saw Jin Yuan and Zhang Yu who arrested them yesterday at the exit.
These two seemed like inseparable lovers, always appearing together.
When passing by them, Philim refused to wave to them. It felt like he was a guest here last night.
Jin Yuan looked amused and asked Zhang Yu: "Do you think there is something wrong with this Felim's brain?"
Zhang Yu: "I don't think so, I just see it openly."
"Can you see it? Haha..."
…
Philim is indeed open-minded, which is due to the character of another existence deep in his heart.
Li Shaoan used to be a person who worried about gains and losses, but after that incident in Daxinganling, Li Shaoan's character changed a lot.
…
The process of being investigated in Maximum Security was tedious.
Although the Supreme Security Section has contacted the Elders Council of the camp where Oakham and Philim belong, the Elders Council insists that Oakham would not do such a bold and reckless thing, and requires the Supreme Security Section to provide true evidence before agreeing.
Come forward to participate in the ensuing investigation.
Faced with such a situation, it is extremely important to strictly follow the highest security standards for trial procedures.
Because the incident involves "disciples", all substantive investigations are completed by the arbiter.
The arbitrator obviously will not provide the existing investigation results to the Supreme Court before the incident is over for prosecution against Oakham, Fillim and others, and there is no way to start a trial.
But the procedures that need to be followed must be completed.
Although Philim and Oakham were not worried that they would really encounter any trouble, this set of procedures would be enough for them.
Especially when he returned to the Arbiter in the afternoon, Philim, who was still in high spirits when he left in the morning, was now a complete waste.
Not only was he unable to eat, he even felt extremely uncomfortable lying down. He always felt like his head was buzzing, as if the investigators from the security department were still taking turns to bombard him with questions.
Fortunately, the arbiter didn't bother them anymore that night.
After a night's rest, Felim felt that he was barely alive.
But what awaits him next is another dangerous journey.
…
"What? Let's go and have direct contact with the 'disciples'?" Oakham jumped up when he heard this plan. He didn't think it was ridiculous, but he thought the arbiter in front of him was a fool.
"I have been captured by you, and now you ask me to trade with them, do you think they are also fools?"
