My Endless Life.

Chapter 76 Interrogation and Rescue

Li Qi was taken to an interrogation room.

The interrogation room was very clean, without any blood or dirt. The magic lamp with good lighting hung on the ceiling, making the windowless interrogation room as bright as day.

Li Qi was sitting on a chair with anti-magic handcuffs on his hands. Opposite him was an intelligence officer in military uniform.

He looked very young, probably less than thirty years old.

However, his position is very high, already at the level of major, and he should be the main officer responsible for interrogating Li Qi this time.

Sitting opposite Li Qi, the major officer opened the file in front of him, looked up and asked:
"Kiri Flores, formerly known as Richie Grater, is a warrant officer in the Uno military, and is also known as the 'Wolf of Meen' on the Meen front.

"Later, due to his outstanding military achievements, he was awarded the Unicorn Medal and went to the Rowlex Military Academy for further studies. However, due to a dispute with a noble, he was framed and imprisoned. Later, for unknown reasons, he escaped from prison and went into exile in England, where he has lived until now..."

After he finished speaking, he closed the file in front of him and looked at Li Qi with a smile:

"All of this is about you, right? Little hero?"

Li Qi had a blank expression on his face and did not speak. His eyes swept over the officer and the two armed soldiers behind him.

Seeing that Li Qi didn't react and the officer wasn't angry, he smiled and said:
"I know you may be very unhappy with us. After all, it stands to reason that you, who have always lived in seclusion and never had contact with any outsiders, can't be a spy at all. But... it doesn't matter. I think you should understand what I'm saying."

"When will I be released?"

After hearing the officer's words, Li Qi, who had been silent for at least two hours since he was arrested, finally spoke up and asked.

The officer replied:
"It depends on your choice."

He stood up, walked to Li Qi, bent down and said to him: "Continue to study the magic device, or stop the research and be a genius in the academy... Your choice determines whether you can be released."

"You are quite straightforward."

"You are a war hero of Uno, and I have always admired heroes. Especially since you are so young, I admire you, so I will naturally be sincere."

The officer said frankly.

The military has always admired heroes, especially heroes like Li Qi who have fought on the front lines of the battlefield and won the Medal of Honor.

Although Li Qi was a member of the enemy country, on the one hand, Li Qi had not participated in the battle of Baiyan Strait, and on the other hand, the other party had suffered persecution from the enemy country's nobles.

Therefore, this officer, who came from the military, admired Li Qi very much.

He even considered letting Reach join the English army.

No magical genius can compare to Li Qi's reputation as a fighting hero!
It’s just a pity that although he was responsible for the interrogation of Li Qi this time, he had no say over whether Li Qi stayed or left.

The person who can really make the decision is the adult behind him.

But this did not prevent him from showing his kindness to Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at the officer who was kind to him for a while, and then asked:
"Which side do you want me to choose?"

"You should know that."

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."

Li Qi said softly.

The smile on the officer's face gradually disappeared.

How to choose? In fact, both of them know the answer to this question very well.

Li Qi did not make a choice immediately, but instead asked in a stupid manner, which was enough to prove his position.

But even so, the officer was still willing to give Li Qi a chance.

He said bluntly:
"We want you to stop your research on the magic device."

"Then you shouldn't talk to me, you should talk to Professor Drien."

"So he is lying in bed now, and now, the only ones who can continue the research on magic devices are his student Joe and you."

The officers openly admitted that they had attacked Professor Drien.

Li Qi looked at the officer with a little surprise and asked:
"How is Senior Qiao?"

"What do you think?"

The officer looked at Li Qi meaningfully.

From the time Deren got into trouble until now, Li Qi hadn't seen Joe. Maybe he had gone into hiding, or maybe he had gotten into trouble too. After all, although Joe was a noble, he was only from a small viscount family.

The family behind him cannot protect him.

Originally, Li Qi thought that Joe had hidden safely, but now it seems...something might have happened to Joe.

Looking down at the pair of magic-proof handcuffs in his hands, Li Qi hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'm going to think about it."

"Okay, but you have to do it as soon as possible. We'll only give you two days. If you still haven't figured it out after two days..."

The officer stopped talking and then had Li Qi taken away.

Two days. The officers only gave Li Qi two days to think.

This means that they can only control Li Qi for two days.

After two days, other unexpected events might occur, such as the second princess returning in time, or Julie making arrangements to get Li Qi out.

Anyway, as long as Li Qi can find a way to hold on for two days, he will be able to leave here.

The prerequisite is that the officers will really give Li Qi two days.

Sitting in the clean cell, Li Qi raised his hand and looked at the magic-proof handcuffs on his hands.

Anti-magic handcuffs are made of anti-magic metal and manufactured through a special process. They can effectively block the circulation of magic power inside the human body and prohibit the flow of magic power in the magic circuit, thereby making the magician lose the ability to cast spells.

No matter whether it is a legendary wizard or a legendary knight, after wearing the magic-suppressing handcuffs, they are not much different from ordinary people.

Generally speaking, this thing can only be opened with a special key. Without the key, this thing is locked and cannot be opened by yourself.

but……

This did not pose a problem for Li Qi.

Li Qi was once again thankful that he was not so old-fashioned in his previous life and learned cheating techniques from the dark gambler.

There are many different methods of cheating, and advanced cheating is even more magical than magic. It's just an "ancient" lock, which can't stump Li Qi at all.

And perhaps they were too confident in the magic handcuffs, so they didn't even check Li Qi's body. They just disarmed Li Qi's wand and sent him to jail.

In other words, the magic orb developed by Li Qi is still on his body.

He could unlock the handcuffs and escape from here anytime he wanted.

But Li Qi didn't do that.

He knew that Julie and others would definitely save him, and even if the second princess Ilona knew about this, she would definitely find a way to save him.

If they could really rescue Li Qi, then Li Qi would no longer have to worry about whether to stay in England or return to Uno.

But what if... they failed to save Li Qi during this period.

Then Li Qi would break out of the cell without hesitation, return to Uno with the orb and technology, and complete the task assigned to him by Borent.

What the final result will be, just leave it to fate.

Lying on the prison bed, Li Qi thought to himself.

Time passed by minute by minute. Li Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the prison, was gathering his strength and waiting for the final result.

Just as Li Qi thought, the outside world was trying every possible means to rescue him.

But what he didn't expect was that the people who found Li Qi first were not Julie and others as he expected.

But an unexpected person.

The spy who had communicated with Li Qi.

"Hey, genius, are you sleeping?"

The police baton was banging on the prison door, and the spy disguised as a guard was looking at him with a smile.

Li Qi opened his eyes and looked at the spy standing outside the cell, full of surprise.

How did this guy...get in?
