Agolo Prison City was a giant fortress made of steel. It was located on the Agolo Alliance Garrison Satellite, one of the seven satellite planets of the New Phylen Alliance's main planet. It was used to imprison political criminals, war criminals, traitors, and other important criminals of the alliance. Sylvia's father, Langley, was locked up inside.
The New Phylen Alliance was a small civilization alliance in the Rain Star System of the Colton Star Cluster in the Shattered Star Ring. There were countless civilizations in the galaxy, and there were countless political alliances like this. Some civilizations had formed alliances to help each other. Normally, civilization alliances were regional. Most of them were formed when the civilizations in a certain region decided to develop together and rule together.
The New Phylen Alliance had eight members, all of whom were small galactic civilizations between the Star System level and the Planet level. These civilizations were all once countries on the same planet, and their mother planet was called Phylen. After Planet Phylen's technology entered the galaxy, the countries could not come to an agreement, so they decided to split up. There were so many resources in the universe waiting to be developed, and there was no need to stick to a single tree. Therefore, the strongest country stayed on their mother planet, and the other countries took immigrant spaceships and migrated to other planets. In the end, they all developed and became different civilizations.
Fundamentally speaking, these civilizations had the same root, and their technology and culture were closely connected. Therefore, after many years of splitting up, they finally united again and formed the New Phylen Alliance. This was the strongest organization in the Rain Star System.
In his previous life, this kind of situation had been discussed on the forums. Earth could not be unified, so maybe it was not a bad idea to use this kind of civilization. Of course, this was more ideal. The problem of limited resources had always been very complicated, and it was still a problem whether Earth could develop to the galaxy level. Now, the Han Technician did not need to worry about this problem anymore.
Langley used to be a high-ranking military officer of a country, a warlord who could dominate an area. He had a good life, and his salary was not low. However, one day, he used his influence to incite the army and secretly colluded with many people to gather a group of rebels, wanting to form a country. He called it an uprising, but in reality, he committed crimes and built his stronghold into an impregnable fortress. He fought with his old boss for many years, and in the end, he was beaten until he could not breathe. The Black Star Mercenary was one of these mercenaries, and they accepted the Purple Gold Army's invitation. A total of seven mercenary groups worked together to complete this mission.
At this time, Han Xiao was piloting the Rainbow Conch and arrived at the territory of the New Phylen Alliance. He had reported in advance, and the alliance's affairs department welcomed the mercenaries who had worked with them before and agreed to his request to visit the prisoners.
The spaceship landed at the Agolo Alliance Garrison's satellite port, and they took the ground vehicle to Prison City. Han Xiao only brought a few people on this trip. Aroshia, the tied up Sylvia, and a few players including Pork Bun. The others were waiting on the spaceship. This time, he only wanted to let Sylvia see her father, so there was no need to make a big fuss.
"You … Why are you doing this?"
In the hovering tank that was steadily moving forward, Sylvia had a complicated expression. When the assassination failed a few days ago, she thought that she was dead for sure. She did not expect that not only did Han Xiao not kill her, he even brought her to see her father. During the few moments when she was awake, she wondered if she was dreaming. Without the alliance's permission, she would not be able to enter the heavily guarded Agolo Prison City. She thought that she would never have the chance to see her father. Sylvia did not understand why Han Xiao would help her.
"I want you to know that your hatred is meaningless and that it is not worth it to die for it. At the same time, I want to let your father know about your death. I want to see his expression for killing his own daughter because of a lie. I love to kill people."
Han Xiao shrugged. He was too lazy to look at Sylvia's angry expression and opened the interface.
After sparing Sylvia's life, a new mission was triggered. The requirement was to let Sylvia see the so-called 'truth'. The reward was still passable, 54 EXP. Furthermore, there was no need to investigate the truth. He could just ask her father directly.
In the background of the character in his previous life, Sylvia's father was blown to pieces by the group of mercenaries who did not hold back. Now, he was captured alive by Han Xiao. Because the reward for capturing him alive was higher, he let Langley live, which made things more convenient.
Agolo Prison City was very majestic. There were many guards, and many snipers and machine gunners were stationed at the top. The searchlights dyed the night sky as bright as day. They successfully entered the prison, and a warden came to welcome them.
"Black Star, I've heard a lot about you." This warden had a beard and a forthright personality. He shook hands with Han Xiao and laughed enthusiastically. "My friend Barney is serving in the 37th Field Army. He once participated in the annihilation of Langley Stronghold and fought side by side with the mercenaries. He has seen how powerful you are and often talks about you to me. I've been bored in this lifeless prison city every day, and I've finally met someone as famous as you."
"You flatter me." Han Xiao maintained a reserved smile and exchanged a few words with ease. He then followed the warden forward.
Soon, they stopped in front of the metal door of a single cell.
There was only one door left. Sylvia was excited and wanted to rush in to see her father. However, Han Xiao grabbed her shoulder and stopped her from moving. "Warden, I want to meet Langley alone first."
"No problem." The warden nodded.
"What do you want to do to my father?"
Sylvia was like a kitten with its hair standing on end. Her eyes were burning with flames as she bit Han Xiao's palm. However, she could not hurt Han Xiao. Instead, she was shocked until her head was dizzy. A "13" reflected damage appeared on top of her head, and the word "Immune" appeared on Han Xiao's body.
"What do I want to do to him? Good question. I want him to be less dignified when he sees you. It's best if he's missing an eye or an ear. "
Han Xiao curled his lips and walked into the cell alone. The metal door closed behind him, cutting off Sylvia's roar.
The light in the room was dim. The cage was heated by electricity and divided into two areas. Inside the cage was the cell. Langley leaned against the black wall that was covered in moss and dirt. His face was covered in stubble, and his eyes were lifeless. He looked much older and more dispirited.
Hearing the noise, Langley thought it was the guard. He subconsciously turned around, only to see the nightmare that was engraved in his heart. His expression quickly turned into horror as he jumped up. "It's you! Why are you here?! "
"Are you afraid of me?" Han Xiao was expressionless as he walked to the front of the cage. "Shouldn't you be thanking me? If it were any other mercenary, it would be difficult for them to pick up your corpse. Would you still be standing here like this? "
Although they were separated by the cage, Langley did not feel safe at all. He hurried to back off, and his back hit the wall. His throat moved, and he swallowed nervously. The pain in his knees was getting more and more intense. He still remembered the situation at that time. A group of armored mercenaries descended from the sky and slaughtered their way into his territory, cleaning up his army like cutting vegetables. The mercenary in front of him waved his hand and summoned hundreds of machine cannons. At least a thousand people died in his hands. He killed his way to him and shot through his knees twice. The pain was so excruciating that he almost suffocated.
Until now, Langley could only stand up with the simple nerve braces that had been implanted into his knees.
"Let's cut the crap. I'm here to find you." Han Xiao said casually. "Your daughter, Sylvia, I don't know what lies you told her, but she believed your bullshit and thought that you were a great man who liberated the people. She wanted to avenge you and tried to assassinate me …"
"What!"
Langley's expression changed drastically. He pounced in front of the railing and grabbed onto the heated railing with all his might. He did not care that his palm was burned by the high temperature and gave off a burnt smell. He was so close to Han Xiao's face that his face was filled with anxiety and anger.
"What — what did you do to her?"
"What else?" Han Xiao made a knife-wielding gesture with his hand. "I killed her, of course. I shot her through her chin and opened a hole in the back of her head. Her brain and blood sprayed all over the wall. One of my subordinates thought that she was pretty and was going to peel her face off and use it as a specimen."
Langley almost fainted. His daughter was all that kept him alive. His expression became twisted. Anger, regret, heartache, despair, hatred, and other emotions flashed across his face. He let out a howl like a dying beast and roared crazily. Even his fear of Han Xiao was forgotten.
"I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! "
Han Xiao calmly looked at the enraged Langley. When his voice was hoarse from all the shouting and he could only stare at Han Xiao while breathing heavily, Han Xiao slowly said, "Alright, enough joking. Your daughter is just outside the door. I've caught her. This time, I brought her here to see you."
Langley was stunned and could not react in time. His emotions fluctuated greatly, and he felt like he was about to collapse. He sat on the ground with a plop, and his trembling finger pointed at Han Xiao, but he could not say anything.
Han Xiao squatted down and looked into Langley's eyes. "You're a smart man. It's up to you whether I kill your daughter or not."
Langley's expression changed a lot. He lowered his head and fell silent.
"Speak. I don't have time to wait for you to consider." Han Xiao knocked on the cage impatiently.
"I'm not a good person … but you're worse than me." Langley's eyes were complicated as he said hoarsely, "What I'll do is tell her everything. I've been a high-level spy planted by another force since the beginning. I'm under their control. Everything I've done is to overthrow the order of the New Phylen Alliance. I'll let her know that I've been lying to her. I'm not the kind of person she thinks I am at all. I'm just a despicable traitor. I'm a villain who destroyed thousands of families for my own selfishness. I'll destroy my image in her heart and make her … completely disappointed in me, her father …"
"Do as you deem fit." Han Xiao stood up.
Langley looked up at Han Xiao. "Will you let my daughter go if I do that?"
Han Xiao did not bother to answer. He turned around and walked to the door, leaving behind a sentence. "In short, if the result of the conversation is not to my liking, I'll fulfill what I said just now … I'll only give you this one chance."
He opened the door and left the cell. The first thing he saw was Sylvia anxiously glaring at him, but her eyes could not help but glance at the gap of the door.
"Go in. You only have ten minutes."
Han Xiao waved his hand and asked Aroshia to let go of Sylvia. Sylvia rushed into the cell impatiently, eager to see her father.
After closing the door, the jailer pulled up the surveillance video and monitored the conversation between Sylvia and Langley outside the door. He could clearly see the changes in Sylvia's expression.
From the anxiety at the beginning, it gradually turned into shock, then shock, and then a fierce argument. Even through the thick iron door, he could vaguely hear Sylvia's uncontrollable roar. In the end, tears burst out of her eyes.
…
"Ten minutes are up."
The jailer opened the door and brought Sylvia out.
She was in a daze. Her eyes were dull, and there were still traces of tears on her face. She had lost all her fighting spirit. She was lifeless like a walking corpse. The vitality from ten minutes ago no longer existed. It was as if the belief she had always held on to had collapsed.
Just now, she realized that the Radiance of her father in her heart was actually built on lies. She had been deceived for more than ten years. He was not a great person. Everything he did was despicable. He deserved to end up like this. Even if the mercenaries did not interfere, he would have been wiped out by the army sooner or later. If it were not for Black Star, her father might not even have survived.
The world seemed to have been turned upside down. The memories of her childhood that were filled with warm sunshine seemed to have changed.
Everything was a lie!
Her heart felt like it had been shot into a sieve by a thousand bullets.
She could not digest such information in a short period of time. Her vision seemed to be spinning. All the sounds became distant and could not be heard clearly. It was as if she was isolated from the world.
Plop.
Sylvia fell to the ground and fainted.
Through the gap of the slowly closing door, Han Xiao took one last look at Langley.
The leader of the rebel army seemed to have aged dozens of years, but his face was very calm. There was even a trace of … relief.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao grabbed Sylvia's back collar and carried the little kid on his shoulder like a sack. He curled his lips.
