Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After Xia Yizhuo approached her, he suddenly reached out and touched her body.

Xia Jiumeng was instantly confused. "???"

No, buddy, aren't you interrogating?

Tell me what are you doing with your hands?

"What are you going to do..."

"Search before interrogation to avoid dangerous items." Xia Yizhuo said as a matter of course.

Xia Jiumeng watched as her hunter pistol was searched out. "That's for self-defense. It can't hit anyone."

"I'll return it to you after the inspection if there's no problem." Xia Yizhuo put the gun on the table and looked at the bracelet on Xia Jiumeng's wrist, which had two lovely flower pendants hanging on it.

The next second he took off the bracelet.

Xia Jiumeng: "...."

Then he pulled up the apple necklace around her neck.

Xia Jiumeng: Do you want to pick this too?

She suddenly thought of something and suddenly felt evil. She pretended to be pitiful and said, "This is a relic my brother left me. He died in an explosion. Not even a slag was left... He only left me this."

Xia Yizhou "....."

There is nothing left...but it's not that bad.

Xia Jiumeng: "Commander, tell me, if my brother were still alive... would he still stand by my side like before?"

Xia Yizhuo paused as he held the necklace. "There are only soldiers and officers in the Far Space Fleet, no one's brother."

"What about you?" Xia Jiumeng's eyes darted straight into Xia Yizhuo's purple eyes.

Don't give him a chance to escape.

Xia Yizhou: "As long as you cooperate, there will be no danger."

After saying something that seemed to make sense, he turned his head to avoid Xia Jiumeng's sight and took out an electronic collar from the table beside him and put it on her.

Xia Jiumeng: What the hell is this?

Damn, put a collar on her? Treat her like a dog?

As if sensing her displeasure, Xia Yizhou explained with a straight face, "This is an emotion detector. It's connected to the room's surveillance camera. The camera will recognize your iris and facial features, transmit them to the terminal, and then combine them with this device to detect and analyze your emotional stability."

Xia Jiumeng understood. Isn’t this a lie detector?

Tsk, what a piece of garbage.

Don’t these people know that powerful people can even control their emotions very well?

And why is it made into this neck ring shape?

I don't think it looks like...

"You must answer the following questions honestly and never lie." Xia Yizhuo said word by word after putting the mask on her.

Summer dream "..." is another reminder?

"This is a necessary step." Xia Yizhou said, leaning closer to her and whispering, "Be obedient, it will be over soon."

Xia Jiumeng “….”

Xia Yizhuo stood up and took out a short stick again, pointing it at her and asked, "You pretended to be a petty officer and sneaked into the fleet. Was it for the ether core?"

Xia Jiumeng pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Xia Yizhou also knew about the Ether Core. Did the people in the fleet ask him to ask? Or...

Upon hearing this, Xia Yizhuo placed the short stick on her neck, and his eyes darkened as he looked at the calm fluctuations on it.

"You'd better not try to lie."

Xia Jiumeng: "I don't have any."

Xia Yizhou glanced at the fluctuations on the detector and changed the question. "Some time ago, there was a strong fluctuation in N109, and it was closely related to the ether core. During that time, your whereabouts were unknown, and you did not report it to your association or any other organization."

"You didn't receive any disciplinary inquiries after returning, and the information I received said you were in N109 at that time."

Xia Yizhuo stared at her closely, waiting for her answer.

Xia Jiumeng: "...I don't know." Ababa Ababa.

Xia Yizhuo felt relieved when he saw his sister pretending to be stupid. Fortunately, he knew that his sister could understand his hints!

My sister is indeed the smartest!

[Xia Yizhou laughed: Don't be afraid, little sister. I'm just pretending.]

"Let me remind you, this is Tianxing City. Even the Evol government is under the control of the fleet."

"So, the only way you can get out of here is to tell the truth."

"So, your purpose in coming to Tianxing is related to the Ether Core?"

Xia Jiumeng glanced over Xia Yizhou's shoulder, looked at the flickering surveillance camera, and said with a smile, "No, I'm here to look for the dog."

Xia Yizhou "..."

"Don't try to get away with it. Answer me, are you here for the ether core?" Xia Yizhuo leaned over and asked.

Xia Jiumeng continued to play dumb. "No, I already said I'm just here to look for the dog."

The detector kept beeping, and Xia Yizhuo knew that it meant the test was over, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Unable to pretend any longer, his tense expression relaxed, and he smiled as faintly as ever as he said, "You passed."

The moment the words fell, the interrogation room suddenly became bright and the chair that was restraining Xia Jiumeng was instantly released.

Xia Jiumeng turned her stiff wrist but did not stand up.

"Still standing there? How long has it been since you recognized me?"

"Xia Yi Zhou?"

"it's me."

"Is it really you?" After Xia Yizhuo admitted that it was him, Xia Jiumeng became a little hesitant.

"Of course, is there another Xia Yizhuo in the world?" Xia Yizhuo said softly and reached out to help her up.

Xia Jiumeng didn't say anything, but just threw herself into his arms and said sullenly, "Xia Yizhou is a big stupid dog."

She suddenly realized that although she had known for a long time that this person was Xia Yizhuo, when he admitted it himself, she did not feel as relaxed as she had imagined. Instead, her heart became extremely complicated, and a little... angry and worried.

She was happy that he was okay, but also angry that he was alive but didn't go back to find her or even... tell her that he was still alive.

But she also knew that even if Xia Yizhuo came back at that time, it would be useless.

She didn't get through that time, so she could only passively accept the "setting" and live through the screen. Even if Xia Yizhuo came back at that time, what could he do?

They will still be in danger and will still be targeted by Ever.

Xia Yizhuo was able to escape death the first time, but what about the second and third time?

Xia Jiumeng didn't know and couldn't imagine it. The only thing she could be thankful for was that she now had the opportunity to change everything, and the people she cared about happened to be there.

In Xia Yizhuo's arms, she slowly calmed down her emotions.

Xia Yizhuo felt the pain in his heart as he felt his sister quietly in his arms. It was his fault for scaring his sister.

"I'm sorry, did I scare you?" Xia Yizhuo patted her back gently to comfort her.

"No." After a long time, Xia Jiumeng retorted in a low voice. She was not that timid.

After her emotions calmed down, she was filled with gratitude, as long as she was alive.

"Okay, no." Xia Yizhuo said, and hugged Meibao tightly.

"Xia Yi Zhou."

"I'm here."

"Don't be afraid, I'm back."

After saying that, Xia Yizhou picked her up and walked out of the interrogation room and took her to the medical room.
