  Chapter 548 The Rise of the Lion King: Fulfilling the Promise

   When gradually going deep underground, the screams and wailing were left behind, and as the ground level became lower and lower, all that remained was the deepest silence.

In the corridor, flickering dim lights flickered around. In front of the closed gate, heavily armed dungeon guards stood guard here with guns. They wore arc-shaped tactical helmets. On the eye-catching glass cover, flickering With a little image light, they looked at each other, and suddenly, a sound of footsteps attracted attention.

The guards turned around and clenched the triggers of their rifles. Their glass covers looked in the direction of the darkness. The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, coming from the depths of the darkness, until a pair of silver boots walked out of the darkness. Stepping out, his flowing black trench coat followed behind his heels.

  He came over, holding a strange beaker in one hand, the guards looked at each other, and he had already come in front of him, "Open the door, young man."

"Inquisitor Amberley has an order. Anyone who enters needs to be notified. I will report to her." "Open the door." After a moment of silence, the door at the back opened.

He retreated to one side with his gun in hand, and the surrounding guards gave way to both sides, allowing the man in the black windbreaker to pass by. He walked in from behind the door and stood on a sliding landing platform. After settling, the thing moved immediately.

It descended and fell in the surrounding lights. The person on the platform looked at the floating signs around him. Soon there was a buzzing sound, his eyes turned to the front, and he walked down the platform fence with his steps. The door, and walked straight to the place under the light in front.

There, there is a group of people standing around, and there is a space soldier, in front of them is an X-shaped frame fixed on the ground, a naked man is tied to it, his legs are kneeling on the ground, blood is flowing from his arms and The wound on his body flowed down and merged into the sewage on the ground, causing dark red ripples.

"Lord Vito." "Judge Amberley, is he willing to answer questions?" "I think so, my lord, we had a chat with him." He said, walking to Ann who had taken off his coat. Beside Burleigh, she was only wearing a close-fitting vest, which perfectly outlined the curves of her figure, but the purpose was not to show it to anyone, but for the convenience of movement.

Vito looked at the kneeling man, his body was covered with scars, he passed out and hung his head down in front of him, "Is he still alive?" "Alive, we saved his life, although Miss Elysee almost Killed him."

  After Vito heard this, he saw Elysee standing on the shelf not far away, holding two small knives in her hand, standing in front of the fainted man, the usual scars on his body were obviously caused by her.

"She came to torture?" "Yes, Miss Elysee is very talented, in fact, too much." "Mmm, Miss Elysee." Vito asked after walking behind Elysee, who turned his head and used his gray-blue hair His lower pale green eyes looked at Vito.

"What did you do before?" Vito asked. "A baker, my lord. I had a bakery at home, at least, before my parents died." "A sad story, but please answer A layman's curiosity, when you make bread, do you knead the dough first and ferment it?" "Yes, my lord, that's the case."

Vito looked into Elysee's eyes and was silent for a moment, which made the other party a little puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?" "No, no, please step aside now, I don't want to stain your clothes." Elysee stepped back after hearing the news He opened it, and Vito raised the beaker in his hand and poured disinfectant alcohol on the fainted man, and he woke up almost instantly.

The wound on his body trembled violently under the disinfectant alcohol, he opened his bloodshot eyes wide, and looked around with a low growl, but he only saw Vito in front of him, and the latter was looking down at him, "You don't need to thank me, you The wound needs to be disinfected, it is better to be infected and necrotic."

"You **** bastard! I knew you were the judge!" "Very well, it seems that I don't need to introduce myself, what should I call you now, you answer me, or let them come?" Vito leaned down Asked, he squatted in front of the man, more than half of the blue oil paint on his face had been washed off, and the rest was also dried up on his face and solidified into lumps.

He was silent for a moment, glanced at Amberley and the others not far away, and then said, "Adam Pierce." "Mr. Pierce, I hope you are ready to answer the question, if possible, I will let you go , now tell me, what is this." Vito took two guns from Amberley's men who came from the side, and he held one of them in front of Pierce, who frowned at the thing .

"A gun." "How accurate is it?" "A pistol." "More accurately." "Made by the Tau tribe." Pierce replied after thinking for a moment, Vito nodded, and extended the other gun to Pierce Before, "Now tell me, how about these two guns?"

Pierce stared at the gun in silence for a long time, looked up into Vito's eyes, but saw nothing but calmness, "Answer me, Mr. Pierce." "The two guns look the same." "Indeed, it can It is exactly the same, and coincidentally, this one was obtained from an assassin on the highway, and the other one was found from you, so now, answer me a question, please?"

"Do you know Commissar Kane? Did someone arrange for you to assassinate him?" Vito asked, Pierce shook his head, obviously ready to answer the question, after all, he was entertained before, "No, I just heard of him, just I've seen him on the poster, but I didn't know him personally, and I almost didn't recognize him at the time, he looked different from the poster." "Understandable, the empire's propaganda is always far from reality."

  Vito squatted down as he spoke, half-sitting in front of Pierce, leaning close to his **** face, "Tell me, who gave you this gun? Or to put it another way, who is your mastermind?"

"This gun belongs to the Tau people." Pierce said with blood in his mouth, and spat out the blood. Vito still looked at him and raised his head slightly, "You want to say that this gun was given to you by the Tau people?" "Then you What do you say?" "That's a reasonable reason, but the Kroot told me that the Tau didn't want to start a war, and they did." "You believe the TM alien?"

  Vito smiled and shook his head, "It's funny, isn't it? Mr. Pierce, a supporter of Alien told me, don't believe in Alien."

"Then what do you think? Is there a specialty shop for Tau weapons here? Or did I pick them up from the sewer?" Pierce leaned forward with all his strength, and the arm tied to the X frame behind him was instantly stretched, and the wound was torn open Open, blood flowed out of it, causing him to moan in a low voice.

Vito watched him raise his head slightly, with two guns hanging on his thighs, and he suddenly approached his face, "Tell me, who gave you this gun?" "I told you." "Tell me , repeat, say it."

  Pierce stared at Vito's dark night-like dark eyes. He was silent for a moment, "It was given to me by the Tau people. They ordered the attack on Commissar Kane."

Vito stared into his eyes, and after a while stood up with his hands on his legs, Pierce raised his head to look at his face, "Did you know that Mr. Pierce is in the subspace, as the succubi say, human beings You are lying when you open your mouth, and if you shut your mouth, you must be lying to yourself in your heart, and you are lying to me and yourself, but you can't lie to their eyes."

"It seems that you are not ready to answer the question, Miss Elysee, you are talking to Mr. Pierce, he is ready to call me." Vito said, turned around, and Elysee came up from the shadows, holding The two daggers flickered coldly, and Pierce immediately panicked and shouted, "You **** believe in an alien?! An alien?!"

   "Trust me, Mr. Pierce, I know these aliens better than you do, so either they're lying or it's you, and I believe it's you, Miss Elysee, please."

   Pierce's eyes widened when he saw the approaching blade, and he struggled hard, but was tied to the X frame, but just when the blade was about to touch him, Amberley stopped Elysee.

"Wait, Miss Elysee." Amberley said, and when she came to Vito's side, Elysee did stop, which made Pierce heave a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground weakly. In front of him, the two judges started talked.

"Do you have any suggestions, Miss Amberley." "Indeed, my lord, I have heard of an experiment in which our trial court once lobotomized a prisoner and turned him into a mechanical servant, but found that he The memories in his brain can be preserved without damage, and he can answer whatever he asks, and asking him about those memories is as easy as extracting data from a computer." "Oh? It's a good idea, let Mr. Pierce Let's experience it too."

Pierce's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Vito in horror, who turned around and waved to the female mechanical priest not far away, "Miss Priest Xueni, please perform an operation on Mr. brain."

"Wait, wait!" Pierce shouted in shock, Vito turned back and smiled at him, "Miss Xueni, please wait, I think Mr. Pierce wants to tell us something, right? Mr. Pierce .”

Pierce swallowed, and looked at the priest in horror. The latter waved and walked over in Vito, and Pierce immediately shouted in despair, "It wasn't given to me by the Tau! It wasn't given to me by the Tau! "

"Who is that? Mr. Pierce?" Vito motioned Xueni to stop, squatted down, and asked in front of Pierce. Looking at the always smiling face, Vito suddenly felt that it was the scariest thing in the world. "It's a merchant who gave us the weapon and asked us to assassinate Commissar Kane!" "Are you telling the truth?" "It's all true! Be honest, look into my eyes!"

Pierce's eyes were wide open, the eyes swollen after being tortured were as big as light bulbs, as if he was afraid that Vito would not be able to see clearly, the latter smiled and stood up slowly, "I believe you said The truth is, where can I find him?"

"He is always active around the Highlands. He will pretend to be a businessman loyal to the Emperor, and he will be the Emperor's guide or something. That's all I know, I promise! I'll tell you everything I know, let me go here!"

"I believe you, Mr. Pierce, thank you for your honesty, Mr. Pierce, I will also keep my promise, please answer my last question now? Where do you think you will go after you die?" Vito asked with a smile, holding the The Tau pistol was aimed at Pierce's head. The latter's eyes widened. When the trigger was pulled, an energy pulse shot out instantly. Mr. Pierce's head also decorated the monotonous floor here with a different color.

Vito handed the pulse pistol with repeated smoke from the muzzle to Elyse, "Miss Elyse, please pack up the rest of Mr. Pierce." "You promised to let him go." "Indeed, I let his soul go away." gone."

"Now, Judge Amberley, I think you have work to do, go check the records of the Rogue Trader Guild, let's see if this trader friend has any other friends, and invite them to come over. "

"Understood, where is the merchant? Do you need me to send someone to invite him over?" Amberly asked softly, her voice was like a lark singing, but she was just like Vito, looking at the brains on the ground, In an instant, that pleasant voice became extremely piercing and terrifying.

"No, I'll go and talk to him in person, and take care of other things on the way, Sicarius." Vito said, turning around, looking at the space warrior standing in the shadow at the edge of the light, he came out of the darkness When he came out, the unique and confident smile was still on his airy face.

"My lord." "Why are you still here? You send people here, and you should go." "I want to stay and learn, learn, how the Inquisition works." "Then what have you learned?" "Your torture method is very interesting and effective." "It seems that you have indeed learned something."

While Vito was talking, he had already walked in front of Sicarius, and he slapped the pistol in his hand on Sicarius' chest, "Bell and the others all have things to do, and you are no exception. Go to the Tau settlement and take a look. , write down anything you see." "Tau settlement? It's a bunch of civilians, no soldiers, no weapons, where do you think I'll find anything?" "No idea, but I'm sure you'll be in Where did you find something interesting to write about?"

"What about you? Marshal, what are you going to do?" Sicarius and the rest of the people turned their heads to look, and saw that Vito had already stepped onto the landing platform. He was leaning on it, with his elbows resting on the guardrail. He lifted up his windbreaker, "A date, and death."
