In the boundless and vast universe, it was hard to find a word to describe the stars that shone eternally in the farthest reaches of the universe. There was a nebula that had just condensed and extended its first spiral arm. There was an ancient galaxy of unknown age hanging like a silver belt. The deep red and white coldness looked at each other from countless light-years away in the dark background. The coldness and indifference of each other made all the onlookers feel that they were small and insignificant, giving birth to a sense of awe that made their bodies tremble.
The staff on the Red Rose were already somewhat numb to the scenery outside the transparent dome. After years of working on various spaceships and the long and boring journey, they did not have the extra interest and energy to look at the starry sky outside the transparent dome. No matter how beautiful something was, it could not withstand the wear and tear of time and immutability. When they first met the girl who was like their first love, she was so beautiful that it was soul-stirring. After looking at her for a long time, she gradually became as boring as an old wife …
In comparison, the interior of this extremely luxurious spaceship was still able to shock the people who had just joined the team after passing the review. Especially the blue artificial lake, it was even more unbelievable.
The spaceships of the Empire had always been designed with the best performance and the least amount of materials. Before seeing this lake with their own eyes, who would have thought that a spaceship would be so extravagant and even crazy to accommodate an artificial lake?
Faint starlight sprinkled down from the glass dome, accompanied by additional light inside the spaceship. It passed through the spacious and huge space and mixed with the metallic luster of the tall cabin walls. It fell on the surface of the water, illuminating the tens of millions of tons of seawater. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. The waves moved slowly, giving off the feeling of a vast ocean.
The tens of millions of tons of seawater came from the most famous summer resort of the Gama Coast in the southern hemisphere of Tianjing Planet. It was said that there was the purest seawater in the entire Empire there.
At the edge of the artificial lake or sea inside the spaceship, the silver sand from Bansha Prefecture was laid. It was said that the sand grains there were the most well-proportioned and delicate, and the skin of the soles of human feet felt wonderful when stepping on it.
On the artificial beach, there were hundreds of tropical plants swaying gently in the convective wind. There were hammocks between the trees, parasols made of large green leaves, and the faint sound of birds chirping could be heard.
For such a beautiful scene to appear inside a spaceship in the silent universe, it was a bit shocking.
This was the Red Rose, the top spaceship of the Emperor of the Empire.
But no one knew why it appeared in the border star field far away from Tianjing Planet.
…
…
In the deepest part of the sea, where the pressure of tens of millions of tons of seawater was the most concentrated, it was deathly silent. Unlike the beautiful scenery above the water, the silence here was filled with a suffocating aura of death.
On the layer of fine sand at the bottom of the water, there was a naked man struggling and twisting. He wanted to shout out his pain, but he was suppressed by the heavy water from all directions, so he couldn't make a single sound. The powerful muscles on his back twitched, showing how much strength he was using at this moment, but he couldn't get rid of the heavy metal piece tied to his ankle and the black clue above it.
There was no air to breathe, no straw to hold on to. There was nothing here, only water. The deep blue, cold seawater that pierced the skin like needles, the seawater that was everywhere, the seawater that was originally gentle but gradually became as heavy as lead, emitting a fishy smell of death …
There was also no sound. The man in the depths of the water struggled as if he was crazy, and the water he stirred up couldn't be seen in most of the water. It was like watching life and death through a window, but it clearly conveyed the despair and pain of suffocation that person was in.
A normal person who couldn't breathe for such a long time would have suffocated to death, but that man persisted for a much longer time. But he was only a human, not a god, so in the end, those unwilling and desperate struggles gradually subsided. His legs that were tightly tied to the clue kicked powerlessly, and the soles of his feet glowed with a trace of a tragic white. Finally, he stopped.
He was like a pitiful dead fish that flipped over and vainly tried to look at the sky with its belly facing the ground before it died.
…
…
The faint sound of an engine rang out from the surface of the water. The black clue was quickly pulled upwards, pulling the heavy metal piece and the naked man, who was unknown whether he was alive or dead, away from the fine sand at the bottom of the water. Along with a few fine waves of sand, it moved towards the surface of the water.
On the beach on the other side of the giant lake, someone was currently fishing. With a light splash, a red koi fish was pulled out of the water by the thin line. It struggled with all its might to shake off its tail, but no matter what it did, it couldn't break free from the fatal hook.
The naked man was pulled away from the surface of the lake by the black rope. Water flowed in reverse from his body, flowing along his wet black hair and pouring onto the surface of the lake.
…
…
"According to the calculations, the pressure at the bottom of the lake and the deep suffocation are already level six pain. Moreover, this type of pain and fear cannot be said to be tolerable at all. Why is this guy still smiling so happily?"
An expert from the Empire dressed in white overalls looked at the completely naked man on the workbench. He took out a towel and carelessly wiped this person's shoulders. He said in confusion, "Could it be that there really is a so-called near-death experience? Before he died, he saw the scene he wanted to see the most? "
"You have to wait until he wakes up before you can ask him." Another slightly older expert said with a smile, "I believe this hero of the Federation shouldn't mind sharing it with you. If he isn't willing, perhaps you can also enter the water and give it a try."
"Let's not." Thinking of the interrogation work in the past few days and the terrifying water torture in the large space, the expert couldn't help but shiver slightly. He picked up the nutrition needle beside him and inserted it into the body.
The action of the expert of the Empire was very simple and rough, as if he was vaccinating a pig. The long and sharp needle pierced deeply into the body, but the man on the workbench who was covered in water didn't have any reaction. It seemed that he was in a deep coma.
There were two flesh holes on his shoulders, inside of which were high-strength golden ropes. The wounds had already formed scabs, and they had peeled off after being soaked in cold water, revealing the tender flesh, which looked extremely horrifying. There were also dense scars on his skin after the torture. After experiencing hellish experiences, he probably wouldn't have much of a reaction to such a rough needle even if he was awake, right?
"500 ml of Awakening Injection."
"Yes."
The expert in white started to mix the medicine, but his eyes fell on the left wrist of the man on the workbench. He said in confusion, "I'm still very interested in this bracelet. The material is very interesting. It's actually difficult to sample. When did the Federation develop such a high-strength metal? The problem is that it doesn't look like an alloy, and even X-rays can't penetrate it … "
The other expert shrugged and replied, "I'm more curious about what material this guy's body is made of. His physiological data is ridiculously strong. Is it true that the hero promoted by the Federation is really made of special materials? The interrogation has been going on for so many days, and we haven't gotten any useful information. "
After the two experts of the Empire sighed, they looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. "We still lack professional equipment."
The Red Rose was the personal spaceship of the emperor of the Empire. Its space firepower and hull armor were naturally very strong, but it was not equipped with enough advanced detection equipment and torture tools. After all, no matter how perverted and cold-blooded the emperor was, he would not be interested in enjoying the bloody scene on his own vacation spaceship.
"His Highness has ordered that if there is still no progress tomorrow, we will cut off his left arm first." The expert smiled and said, "This way, we can analyze the bracelet properly. Besides, I don't think this guy's mind can be strong for much longer."
"Good idea. I've made this suggestion a long time ago." The other person shrugged and slapped the research subject on the workbench hard. His palm fell on the wet stomach of the man, making a crisp sound, as if he was slapping a piece of fresh pork in the market.
The breathing and heartbeat frequency collected by the physiological monitoring equipment started to sound the alarm. The man on the workbench woke up, but his eyes were still closed. Only his thick and straight eyebrows, after being soaked in the salty water for so long, were still as calm as a knife in its sheath.
The question was unoriginal, and the silence was unoriginal.
The buzzing of the machine sounded again. The black thread lifted the man on the workbench and the heavy metal piece tied to his foot, moved horizontally out of the glass partition, and came to the surface of the lake. Then it suddenly released, stirring up a cluster of waves, and sank again.
…
…
It was getting deeper and deeper. He slowly opened his eyes. The skin at the corner of his eyes had already festered due to being soaked in the salty water, but his eyes were still bright and clean. Looking at the water that was getting darker and darker, looking at the approaching fine sand at the bottom of the water, listening to the slight sound of water in his ears, and feeling the tingling pressure from his eardrums.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, one, two, it should be earlier than last time. Thirteen, it's time.
He counted silently in his heart, and then his facial features began to twist in pain. He began to struggle again, unwilling and desperate. Opening his mouth wide, he tried to breathe the air that he could never breathe. Feeling the double torture of suffocation and silence, his lungs were burning.
A string of pearl-like bubbles poured out from his lips, fleeing toward the surface of the water in panic.
Falling into unconsciousness again, the man's body was stuck to the fine sand at the bottom of the water. Because of the struggle before falling into unconsciousness, the upper half of his body had sunk to the bottom of the thin layer of sand.
The artificial lake formed by tens of millions of tons of seawater went straight to the bottom of the spaceship. Below the fine sand at the bottom of the lake was a transparent material cabin wall of the Red Rose spaceship. On the other side of the cabin wall, there was naturally an endless, boundless, and quiet space.
In the dead and quiet space, the spaceship was moving at a steady speed. If someone looked closely from space at this time, they might be able to see a pale face on the other side of the glass. It was creepy.
At this time, the pale face suddenly opened his eyes. He slightly narrowed his eyes, greedily looking at the universe that was right in front of him, but could never be touched.
