From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 221 Killing and Punishing the Heart

"How many?"

Noelle was shocked by Lin Yu's 'conservative estimate'.

After all, he went to Lin Yu just to give it a try.

Little did she know that Xue Siqiao had successfully left a backdoor in Zhong Qihang's supercomputing center in just a few seconds.

It would be strange if I wasn't shocked to hear such a 'conservative' number at this moment.

"Let's go see Zhong Qihang first."

Lin Yu didn't repeat himself, but just stood up with the contract.

"can."

Noelle calmed down, stood up as well, and took Lin Yu to the cell where Zhong Qihang was imprisoned.

The Inspection Bureau branch is actually more like a detention center, not a formal prison.

It’s just that military force is too abundant in this era.

Any battery can be used as a bomb.

Ordinary public security cases are also handled by electronic police, and it is not the turn of the Audit Office to take action.

Therefore, even in a detention center where suspects are temporarily detained, the security standards are extremely high.

The most basic ones are high-strength metal cast rooms, and the mezzanine also has measures such as shielding electromagnetic waves.

Unlike wide-area spaces where only signals can be interfered with, in small, enclosed spaces, technologies such as Faraday cages can completely block signals.

That is to say, within this prison, no matter whether it is hidden electronic devices or implanted chips or prostheses, they will be completely isolated from information transmission with the outside world.

This is also an essential item in such detention facilities in any case.

After all, there are too many people in this era who have been implanted with various prosthetics and invasive devices.

In addition, various hidden automatic firepower systems, various sensing systems, monitoring and identification, etc., under the advanced intelligent technology, even the most basic detention measures are so strict that it is impossible for ordinary people to escape.

Of course, Lin Yu was not a prisoner, and with Noel leading him, he could naturally march straight in.

Soon they arrived at the cell where Zhong Qihang and his son were held.

But the overall layout is more like an isolation observation room.

Inside was a fully metal prison, thick enough to be used as a wartime bunker, and Zhong Qihang and his son were inside.

There is also an adjustable one-way and two-way transparent glass window outside, and the sound is transmitted through a special speaker, so you can observe and interrogate directly while sitting outside.

When Lin Yu and Noelle arrived, the observation window was still in a one-way transparent state.

That is, the outside can see the inside, but the inside cannot see the outside.

Zhong Qihang and his son just sat there, leaning against the inner wall, each slumped in a corner, vaguely showing a bit of silent confrontation, as if they had just had an argument.

Lin Yu stood in front of the observation window and watched quietly for a moment.

It felt like watching two monkeys imprisoned in a zoo.

"Turn on interrogation mode."

Noelle stretched out her right hand and pressed it on the observation window.

Ripples and light blue palm prints appeared where the palm was pressed.

This should be permission identification.

Because soon the entire observation window changed, as if a layer of membrane was removed and it became bidirectionally transparent.

Zhong Qihang and Zhong Yunfan saw Lin Yu standing quietly at the window almost at first sight.

Lin Yu stood outside.

They slumped inside.

Just like two monkeys being watched by tourists.

"It's you!!!"

Zhong Yunfan jumped up directly, and pounced over, slamming his hands heavily on the observation window.

Those eyes were fixed on Lin Yu.

As if to kill him with her eyes.

Once upon a time, Lin Yu was just a piece of cake in his eyes.

A small D-class pilot with no background.

No matter how high the level of mecha driving and fighting is, it is only D level.

Without the mecha, it is nothing.

This was supposed to be just a trophy to be harvested after dealing with Zhong Fan, and it didn't even need to be included in the plan.

As a result, just because of this one person, the entire situation was reversed single-handedly.

Due to the power and escape ability of the flying armor, and the presence of Zhong Fan and Barbossa at his side, he couldn't attack at that time.

But even then, he didn't care.

Again.

A D-class pilot, even if he drives a mecha, is not a threat to him who holds the card of Charleson.

A pilot without a mecha is nothing.

However, today, his determination to achieve his goal has resulted in him being imprisoned.

He, whom he regarded as a cake, not even a prey, was standing outside the window.

I am locked in a cage like a monkey.

This was definitely the most severe setback and humiliation he had ever encountered in his life.

"Do you think he looks like a dog?"

Lin Yu, who was glared at by Zhong Yunfan, simply ignored him and pretended to be critical. He turned his head to look at Noel, who was standing next to him and was nearly half a head shorter than him.

"Not like."

Noelle, on the other hand, acted very serious, replying calmly and solemnly.

But he immediately followed it up with: "Dogs are lovely and loyal pets."

Still looking serious.

Probably because of the surrounding surveillance facilities and guarding agents.

"As expected of the head of the special case team, your words are very sophisticated."

Lin Yu gave her a thumbs up in approval.

On the other side of the glass window, Zhong Yunfan’s face turned pale and red.

"I've said it so many times, but I still can't keep my composure."

A low and calm voice sounded from behind Zhong Yunfan.

Accompanied by footsteps.

Zhong Qihang, who was squatting in another corner, stood up slowly and walked over.

In fact, Zhong Yunfan is already approaching middle age.

Therefore, it was, to some extent, a very wise move for Zhong Qihang to train Zhong Yunfan and let Zhong Fan live an ordinary life since childhood, as it could help avoid conflicts between the brothers.

It’s a pity that he is obviously not a qualified father and ignores human nature.

Back to the point.

Although Zhong Yunfan is already middle-aged.

But perhaps thanks to today's medical technology, Zhong Qihang actually looks like a middle-aged man, with only a barely noticeable hint of paleness at the roots of his hair at the temples.

Lin Yu looked at him carefully.

It was not the decisive and ruthless business tycoon he had imagined.

Instead, it has a refined and bookish atmosphere.

He doesn't look like a leader who sits in the office all day, but more like someone who often hangs out in the library or laboratory.

But it does fit.

The founders of various technology companies are often practitioners of related technologies themselves.

Zhong Qihang, who is able to lead the computing chip technology, must even be a leader among them.

The two middle-aged men stood side by side, but Zhong Yunfan seemed to be still a teenager. He shrank back stiffly after being scolded and was completely speechless.

"You are the one who...killed my son?"

After scolding Zhong Yunfan, Zhong Qihang looked at Lin Yu.

His calm attitude and emotionless tone of voice seemed as if he was casually finding topics to talk about with a stranger he had just met.

"Yes."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, looking at him, somewhat curious about what he wanted to do.

As a result, the development of things was beyond his expectations.

"Those who illegally steal aircraft bodies, attack and murder others should indeed be prepared to be shot dead in self-defense."

Zhong Qihang just nodded calmly.

He seemed to agree with this result.

But it's not the kind of hypocrisy that appears to be impeccable.

It is an obvious, fake and deliberate gesture.

This kind of appearance, which can obviously be concealed but is deliberately revealed to be false, reveals an aura of danger that is overwhelming.

This is not hypocritical flattery, but a threat, or an implicit declaration.

A declaration of never-ending struggle.

"You don't seem to be worried about your condition at all?"

Lin Yu also smiled, but his brows gradually narrowed.

Zhong Qihang's performance only made him more determined.

This kind of person must never be given the chance to get out again.

Not only should the crime be punishable by death, but it would also be best if the spirit is completely destroyed.

"Zhong has always been a law-abiding businessman, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhong Qihang remained calm, and then explained: "What happened tonight was just a misunderstanding of the Inspection Office, and the attack on you was also the will of my good-for-nothing son."

"Zhong Qihang! Don't be so arrogant!"

Before Lin Yu could open his mouth, the detective who was in charge of guarding and interrogating him could no longer hold back his anger and started to scold him.

After all, they put in a lot of energy and resources to catch Zhong Qihang.

But according to the current situation, what Zhong Qihang just said may really come true.

The truth hurts the most.

They were unable to get the whereabouts of the hijacked mechas from Zhong Qihang, and the interrogation even passed various psychological and AI technology tests.

What happened to Zhong Fan can be completely explained as a personal behavior and cannot be blamed on Zhong Qihang.

In other words, if there is no way to find solid evidence to convict him, the Audit Office may really have to release Zhong Qihang.

This time we have alerted the enemy, it will be difficult to catch him next time.

Especially the batch of stolen mechas, no one knows how much trouble they will cause.

"You go out first."

Noelle stopped the agent and motioned for him to leave first.

The latter could only leave as he was told.

Her eyes fell on Lin Yu again.

"A useless son... I wonder what Zhong Fan would think when he heard you say this about him."

Lin Yu also happened to speak at this time, pondered, and then shook his head.

The truth hurts the most.

Zhong Qihang likes to tell the truth.

Coincidentally, he likes it too.

And this statement is apparently surprisingly effective.

Zhong Qihang's body trembled slightly obviously.

After all, they are father and son. How could he really scold someone when the person just died tragically because of him?

"Before the war, Zhong Fan told me that he never thought of fighting for the inheritance."

"He has been studying and practicing as hard as he can since he was eight years old, just to prove himself."

Lin Yu continued to narrate calmly, paused slightly, and then added sarcastically: "To you."

"enough."

Zhong Qihang's voice became a little hoarse, and he was barely able to maintain his calmness.

"He probably never imagined that he would be killed by you, thinking that his opponent was at most Zhong Yunfan."

How could Lin Yu stop?

"Without hesitation, between the possibility of the supercomputing center being hacked and him, the person he most desired attention and proof of, directly and decisively chose to abandon him."

"In the end, the final evaluation he got with his life was still - a useless son."

The plain narration, without any waves, is like a knife cutting into the heart.

"enough!"

Zhong Qihang couldn't control himself anymore and shouted loudly to stop them.

"Do you want to know Zhong Fan's last words?"

"He said, Mom, I'm in pain."

"I told you to shut up!"

"By the way, I stabbed him in the heart. Do you think my Fang Tian Hua Ji hurt him more, or..."

"I said! Enough! Shut up!"

His breathing was heavy, his eyes were red, and Zhong Qihang's defense was completely broken.

"You can make me shut up, but you can't erase the facts that have already happened, nor can you offset the despair he felt before his death."

Lin Yu stood outside the isolation window.

No matter how furious and angry Zhong Qihang was, he couldn't even make a ripple in his tone.

"Calm down, Dad, calm down, he's just conducting a psychological offensive."

Zhong Yunfan, on the other hand, remained rational at this moment and began to comfort Zhong Qihang.

At the same time, he looked at Lin Yu and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are wishful thinking if you want to break through our psychological defenses and get the supercomputing center by this."

These words are very effective.

It is not effective for Lin Yu, but it is very effective for Zhong Qihang.

indeed.

This is most likely a psychological attack deliberately created by the Audit Office.

It's the enemy's trick.

This allowed him to comfort himself that he would not fall into the enemy's trap, nor would he make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy.

Lin Yu's words may be fabricated or deliberately processed.

and.

Zhong Yunfan's words also made him completely sober up.

All he had left...was the supercomputing center.

All that's left is this supercomputing center that he bought with his son's life.

No matter whether what Lin Yu said is true or false.

These are already established facts. I made a difficult choice and lost my son.

We can’t lose the supercomputing center as well.

"I think you misunderstood."

Lin Yu said calmly, "Reality is not a drama. Before someone kills someone, no one will give them advance notice."

A strange smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhong Yunfan didn't understand it at first.

Zhong Qihang was shocked all over.

Advance notice.

Advance notice...

Preview...

This sentence, this word, seemed to be the devil's whisper, echoing uncontrollably in my mind, and a terrible guess emerged uncontrollably.

"Preview: He's going to invade the supercomputing center, and he clearly knows that I might be monitoring him from behind..."

"I invaded Fan'er just for that brief moment of hesitation. How could I possibly say something like a warning in advance..."

"That is to say..."

A speculation emerged that made his eyes widen and his brain seem to explode. He was unwilling to admit it, but he had to admit that it was possible.

It is very likely that the other party had already succeeded when he said that.

At least it leaves some possibility for subsequent success.

Therefore, when you make a decision, it is actually completely meaningless.

I sacrificed my own son in vain...

He was sacrificed in vain in the most desperate and painful way.

When a loved one passes away, there is often a sense of fantasy and dreaminess.

Even though I knew he was dead, I always felt inexplicably that he was still there, he was still alive, he seemed to be still there, as if he had just gone away.

This sense of fantasy can greatly dilute grief and other negative emotions.

But at this moment, this veil that was like a fig leaf was completely torn apart by Lin Yu.

Suddenly woke up.

What on earth have I done...

"No, it's impossible. This is still a play to break through my psychological defenses."

He bit his back teeth and raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red and bloodshot, like a dying beast.

He probably wanted to get a positive answer from Lin Yu's expression.

But he was disappointed.

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cell.

Hey.

A room where you can hear a pin drop.

The subtle sound of footsteps echoed clearly.
