Not long after, he saw Michelle on the spacious bridge of the airship.
The colonel's avatars pushed him out of the elevator without any gentleness. One of them gestured to the other and turned to leave.
The remaining one pulled out his pistol and stared at Huai Shi from a few meters away.
He wanted to make sure that he could be killed on the spot if he made any strange movements.
The rest of them naturally came up and unlocked his shackles.
Although he still couldn't use his Sacred Mark and soul power, at least he felt more comfortable.
Huai Shi rubbed his wrist and sighed. He couldn't help but complain, "Can you please be gentler? We're all schoolmates … Oh right, I have an Ivy League diploma. Can you treat me better?"
When he spoke, he didn't think that people would hate heretics more than demons. He also didn't think that what he did was enough for his "alma mater" to shoot him a few hundred times.
"That diploma, I think I signed it myself … I remember now."
Michelle, who was signing the document behind the desk, said without looking up, "After reading your resume, I immediately agreed to Principal Russell's request."
"Hmm?" Huai Shi raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think it's a pity?"
Huai Shi patted his chest shamelessly and said, "To be honest, it's really painful to miss out on a talent like me."
Michelle was amused.
It was like listening to a seven or eight year old kid telling a joke that wasn't funny.
He closed the pen and finally looked up. He looked at Huai Shi not far away and his expression gradually turned cold, "Don't you have any self-awareness about your nature?"
"To be honest, I think I know my position quite well." Huai Shi shrugged, "You see, how quickly I adapted to the role of a prisoner. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. I'm scared even without you guys torturing me."
"You're a trouble."
Without giving him any face, Michelle said straightforwardly, "Mr. Huai Shi, whether you admit it or not, the trouble you bring is far more than your usefulness … No matter where you are, the trouble you bring is far more than your usefulness.
The only reason you're still alive is because Mikhail didn't agree to exchange another core of the branch control center for you. "
Did he miss out on some dirty deal?
Huai Shi froze for a moment, then shrugged.
"It's understandable that a beautiful woman has a short life."
"Really?"
Michelle sneered. "I can even conclude that Mikhail has never thought of any plan to rescue you. Compared to the price we have to pay to get the sub-control center, the loss you will cause is more serious. What do you think?"
"I can't pretend that I didn't hear that. Mr. Mi something, you're despicably slandering my character."
Huai Shi retorted, "Be careful, or I'll sue you for personal attack."
Michelle was still indifferent, "This is not a personal attack. Also, there is no article on personal attacks in the law at the border."
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refute.
Then, he began to think.
This old man seems to be … seems to be … right.
Based on his understanding of the law system at the border several times, there was no such crime at all.
"Don't think about it. I'm a member of the border law committee and the chief legal counsel of Exxon Energy. If I say there is no crime, then there is no crime."
Michelle glanced at him and casually tossed a certificate on the table.
"Also, I'm the risk control director of the American Countermeasure Room of the Central Command. You'd better not use the banner of the Astronomy Society in front of me, Mr. Huai Shi, 'fourth-class military officer'."
Wow, it's terrifying!
Huai Shi suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
This kid … no, this old man can't be allowed to live!
He repeatedly rubbed his eyes and confirmed it again and again. He still couldn't find any loopholes or doubts on the certificate. There was no doubt that it was a real certificate.
So … this person is really a big shot?
No, why do both of you like to work part-time?
Can't you let the newbies out?
In the end, he could only regretfully swallow the traditional dish that was brewing in his mouth back into his stomach.
He failed miserably in showing off.
There was no other way. Even if the other party wasn't a big shot, his identity as an inspector was useless. Moreover, he was still at the stage of not being paid.
With this identity, he could act like a tyrant in the present realm. It was still useful at the border, but in hell … it was nothing.
Some of the hooligans in hell didn't even care about the four major armies.
It was obvious just by looking at the Eye of Nightmare.
Just as he was deep in thought, the corner of his eyes twitched. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the corner.
At the porthole, there was a shadow with his back facing him.
His hair was white and he seemed to be old.
The man was equipped with a Teuton Epee and was covered in heavy armor. He was also holding a ferocious lion helmet in his hand. He ignored Huai Shi's existence and just stared out the window silently.
But what was noteworthy was that … even in the reflection of the glass, his face couldn't be seen.
It was as if he didn't exist here.
However, the moment he saw him, Huai Shi's instinctive premonition of death warned him crazily.
If he courted death, he might die.
Such a detailed premonition emerged in his heart.
But soon, his gaze was attracted by another thing.
In the control area at the back of the bridge, under the illumination of a beam of light, countless precision machines floated in the air and slowly rotated.
One could vaguely see their original appearance.
When countless parts were put together, they formed the wind lamp that Huai Shi had seen before. And now, after the wind lamp was broken, what unfolded from it was actually a huge alchemy array that was so precise that even the entire bridge couldn't fit it.
He rubbed his eyes, unable to contain his curiosity.
"What exactly is that?"
"To explain it in the language of the Land of Dusk, it should be called the 'Maker's Proof'," Michelle said.
"Just like the Ascendant's Stigmata, it is the power and tool of the Maker. It is also the culprit that caused this hell to fall to this extent."
He stood up and adjusted the beam of light, enlarging it. Suddenly, countless small strange words appeared on the lamp. In the end, they overlapped and formed a solemn and cold emblem.
It seemed to represent some authority and truth, making people feel a sense of awe.
"According to the Life Pattern on it, the name of the sub-control core should be 'Changer', right?"
He turned around, looked at Huai Shi, and waved his hand. Then, in front of Huai Shi, along with the mechanical changes, a table slowly rose up, followed by two chairs.
"Please sit, Mr. Huai Shi."
He took the lead and sat opposite Huai Shi, "The time for chatting is over, our work is about to begin."
It's coming, it's coming, the plot of the torture and interrogation of secrets is coming!
The long-awaited tough guy TIME!
Huai Shi's eyes lit up.
It was time for him to show his unyielding might and steadfastness.
And just as Huai Shi held his head high, showing a stubborn and unyielding look, determined to guard the secrets of the Ivory Tower, Michelle slowly put on a pair of glasses, pulled out a pen, and flipped open the document next to him.
"Then, when did you enter sub-control room No. 4 … which is the one in the underground world?"
He looked up and asked, "Our calculation here is around 19 in the afternoon. Considering that you may have spent a long time on the road, is there anything wrong?"
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi began to feel that something was wrong.
Why did he ask this?
"Also, there are some details in your battle with Changer. Although it was supplemented by the video and Liz's description, there are still many things that are unknown to people. Let's talk about this in detail first."
He did not care about the secrets of the Iron Crystal Constellation and the Ivory Tower at all.
Michelle began to ask about some details of the battle.
Everything, no matter how big or small, was recorded down, including the initial state of Changer, the time of the second stage, and Huai Shi's speculations and guesses without any mistakes.
From the beginning to the end, the word 'grand master' did not come out of his mouth at all.
He did not even mention the Iron Crystal Constellation.
For a full two to three hours, he kept asking Huai Shi about the details of the exploration process, and wrote down more than a dozen pieces of paper.
If Huai Shi did not want to say, he would not ask a second time.
He was purely asking about what had happened in the sub-control center.
During this process, although he did not want to say too much, Huai Shi would not hide some unimportant things.
He once suspected that Michelle wanted to rely on these questions to make him lower his guard and then launch a surprise attack. However, from the beginning to the end, Michelle was like an old professor writing records at an archaeological site, and did not care about anything outside the sub-control center at all.
Perhaps this was also valuable information, but in Huai Shi's opinion, it was not worth it to suffer for this.
Moreover, even if Huai Shi did not say anything, Liz or the other mercenaries of the Eye of Nightmare would have seen it.
There was no point in keeping it a secret.
It was not until the end that Michelle suddenly asked a secret question, "We found that your speed during the exploration process was abnormally fast. Was it due to your keen intuition? Or was it the guidance of some illusions? If it was an illusion, is it convenient to talk about what you saw? "
Illusions and auditory hallucinations would often appear in the exploration of Hell.
Just like what the Great Grandmaster had said, it was not a rare thing. It was just that the things that guided Huai Shi were a bit strange.
After hiding the existence of the crowned skeleton, Huai Shi thought about it and finally mentioned Condra's existence.
Having a former colleague who could guide him in Hell could more or less increase Huai Shi's value.
Although it was a bit of a snitch, it was not worth mentioning compared to the precious things that really needed to be kept secret — the defense of the iron crystal base, the internal situation, the personnel configuration, the experimental projects, and the research results.
After listening, Michelle was stunned for a moment, and the tip of her pen paused.
She looked up at Huai Shi.
"Condra …?" she asked, "A thirty-year-old from the Russian Federation? Black hair? "
"…"
Huai Shi nodded.
Michelle was silent for a long time, took off her glasses, and sighed softly.
"You know him?" Huai Shi asked.
"We met once." Michelle recalled carefully, "He was He's student. Three years ago, I met him once when I attended a seminar. At that time, He told me that his student had surpassed him and would definitely surpass him in the future … It's such a pity. "
There was not the slightest hint of gloating.
Huai Shi could feel that it was sympathy and sorrow from the bottom of her heart.
"… To be honest, your place is different from what I thought." He shook his head and sighed, "I thought you would gloat."
Michelle furrowed her brows.
She looked up at him as if she was offended.
"Mr. Huai Shi, we are scholars," she said coldly, "not cannibals."
