Although the Xiuxian rebellion on the firefly was quickly suppressed, it was only the beginning of everything. The emperor's Council and its leader, Lu Zhenren, Lu Qingchen, were the key behind the rebellion.

In the coming battle between the Federation and the Empire, what important role will this mysterious local immortal cultivation organization play?

The secret trial against Ding Zhengyang began immediately.

He was the leader of the ship's immortal cultivators, and also one of the few people who had personally contacted "the first wanted criminal of the Federation" Lv Qingchen. Behind this too hasty rebellion, LV Qingchen contributed to the flames more or less.

No matter Cui Lingfeng, Tang Dingyuan or Li Yao himself, they all hope to dig out LV Qingchen through Ding Zhengyang, or even... The people hidden behind LV Qingchen.

The secret interrogation was conducted by the speaker Cui Lingfeng, the captain Tang Dingyuan, and Li Yao, who alone rescued them and captured Ding Zhengyang alive.

The cell in which Ding Zhengyang was held is the one in which Tang Dingyuan was held half a day ago, which is called "self inflicted".

The first mate, who used to be famous on the deck of the firefly and was known as the "dinghaishen needle", now looks like a venomous snake with its tusks removed and tendons removed, crouching in a corner of the cell. His absent-minded eyes stare at the void, chanting words, laughing bitterly, shaking his head and twitching. He does not know whether he is lamenting the failure of the plan and begging his old boss for forgiveness, Or is it self pity that it should not have taken such a step in the past?

"Zhengyang!"

Seeing him in such a state of depression and complete loss of hope, Captain Tang Dingyuan is more distressed than seeing him betray him with swagger. He and Ding Zhengyang are brothers of life and death for decades. They deeply know what this red faced man used to look like, "look at yourself, how can you make yourself like this? You should not be so afraid of death, you are from the bottom of the sailor step by step to climb to the first mate's post, so many times in the past dangerous, you do not frown, rushed to solve! Your nickname has changed from "desperate Saburo" to "dinghaishen needle". Are you afraid of death? You surrender to the human empire in order to save your life? I don't believe it. Tell me what happened

Tang Dingyuan's every word is like a small ball lightning, stirring and rolling in the cell, impacting Ding Zhengyang's almost decadent nerves.

Ding Zhengyang's expression is very similar to that of a slow and persistent person who has taken too much drugs. After staring at Jing Yan for a long time, he rubs his face with a stubble beard. He suddenly laughs and laughs, and his eyes close, leaving two lines of turbid tears.

"Yes, I shouldn't be so afraid of death... In the first 50 years, everyone called me" desperate Saburo ". In the next 50 years, everyone called me" dinghaishen needle ". I worked step by step from the lowest, dirtiest and most dangerous fuel area and power cabin of the firefly to the position of chief mate. What kind of danger have I never experienced? What kind of horrible corpse have I never seen? "

He opened his eyes again, and the dark rainbow in his eyes became memories of the past. "Eighty two years ago, the power module was penetrated by a meteor shower, which led to a big explosion. I was the first one to rush in to repair it. I was wearing the thinnest maintenance crystal armor, plugging holes one by one, and the meteorites passed by me, One of them goes straight through my helmet, and if it moves five millimeters to the left, it will melt my whole brain.

Fifty seven years ago, there was a leakage accident in the fuel area. The "Tianchan Shenxue sand" was supposed to be stored at extremely low temperature. At normal room temperature, it was immediately vaporized and turned into a deadly poisonous fog, which filled the whole fuel area. At any time, it could corrode the main fuel delivery pipe and cause an unimaginable chain reaction.

I was the first one to rush in with my brothers to repair the frozen Rune array in the deadly poisonous gas with super high toxicity, super corrosiveness and irreversible eroding effect on the spiritual roots, spray "freezing liquid" and collect the re liquefied "shenxuesha" bit by bit.

At that time, we sacrificed 122 brothers, and we all did a good job of protection, but we can't help it. This kind of accident has to be filled with lives. Before we rush in, everyone knows this, even I know it very well. Once we go in, the hatch will be closed in the back, and it may never be opened again!

And the collision accident 42 years ago, the black hole tide accident 33 years ago, the super radiation accident 25 years ago... Captain, you're right. I don't seem to have counselled, escaped or died!

But, ha ha, but, I am not a machine, not a magic unit, I am just a person! Who dares to clap his chest and stem his neck to say that he has never counselled, retreated or died in his life? Who can not be afraid of death, as long as people are afraid of death!

I was afraid of death, but I rushed to death for only one reason. At that time, I still had hope. I believed that my death was meaningful and valuable! My death can make my wife and children old and young, my children and grandchildren, and all the compatriots on the ship live and live better!

But, is this really the case? Do we really have hope? Look into my eyes, honestly, feel my conscience and say, "my brother, my captain, tell me!"

Ding Zhengyang suddenly become crazy, to monitor crystal eye, tearing hoarse throat roar way.

Tang Dingyuan and Cui Lingfeng looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "of course, we have great hope. Every hero's sacrifice is valuable!"

"... bullshit. I won't believe it anymore, captain."

The roar just now seemed to exhaust Ding Zhengyang's last strength. He curled back into the corner like a vented ball. He was like a lost child, holding a nonexistent doll in his arms, huddled into a ball, showing a self mocking smile. "Once upon a time, I believed these lies as much as you. What's" we inherited the tradition of the Xinghai Empire, It's the last hope of human civilization. "What's" since ancient times, evil has always been good, and one day we will be killed back in the middle of the sea of stars. "What's" the human empire is cruel, its rule is crumbling, and it may destroy itself at any time. "Even that stupid" dark star "who has been destroyed dozens of times... All these words, more than belief, It's become my faith

Li Yao coughed softly, glanced at the two government leaders in exile around him, and secretly asked Cui Lingfeng with the magic power of transmitting sound into the secret: "speaker, what is this" dark star "that has been destroyed dozens of times?"

Cui Lingfeng is sitting in a serious posture. He doesn't seem to hear Li Yao's question. He doesn't even shake his lips. But Li Yao receives his reply.

"It's a series of morale boosting promotional films that we've shot one after another in the past few hundred years. It's about how we beat the real empire. It's called" Star Wars "!

In this propaganda film, the evil human Empire, in order to rule the whole universe, takes out all the key resources of the world under their control, and builds an extremely powerful, extremely evil and extremely terrifying man-made planet and Star Wars Castle, known as the "dark star". It also brings all the important government agencies, government agencies, and military personnel of the empire into full play The key technical personnel and all precious magic power and data are all moved in.

As a result, the firefly took advantage of the opportunity to enter the "dark star" and destroyed the "brain" and "heart" of the human Empire, thus defeating the Empire! "

Li Yao: "well, although the real empire can't be so stupid, it's a propaganda film after all. Understandably, what's the meaning of" destroyed dozens of times "

Cui Ling said: "after the broadcast of this propaganda film, it was very popular and soon swept the whole ship firefly. It had countless enthusiastic supporters. Of course, it was time to shoot a sequel. In the sequel, the human Empire intensified and made a comeback, and came up with a more evil way to deal with the whole universe and our Xinghai Republic!"

Li Yao: "what method?"

Cui Lingfeng: "that is to continue to concentrate all resources to build a bigger, stronger and more terrifying" Dark Star II "!"

Li Yao: "and then, the second generation of the dark star will not be damaged by your firefly again?"

Cui Lingfeng: "yes."

Li Yao: "and then you filmed dozens of sequels to the star wars, each of which was to build a bigger" dark star "in the 70s and 70s, and then was destroyed by the firefly?"

Cui Lingfeng: "no, in the future, the human empire will no longer build artificial planets. Instead, it will directly find a planet to empty and transform it into a more powerful dark star. When the planets are tired of watching by the audience, we have tried white dwarfs, red giant stars and mature stars, which are also the sun."

Li Yao: "my lord speaker, I suddenly have a deep understanding of Mr. Ding's state of mind after seeing through the lies. What should I do?"

Cui Lingfeng: "what can we do! If we don't let the Empire adopt such a stupid strategy all the time, just like a firefly, how can we turn the tide, counter attack at one stroke and win a complete victory? "

In the prison room, Ding Zhengyang's sneer on his face became deeper and deeper. It was like a bitter tide drowning himself and the three people outside. He continued to say feebly: "I always believe in all this, believe that we really have hope, believe that the Republic of Xinghai will return to the center of Xinghai one day, and believe that the real empire is just a strong power in the outer world!

It's this belief that makes me fearless of death, and it's this belief that makes me a "God of the sea needle" and "desperate Saburo"!

However, a lie is a lie after all. Once it comes to the truth, it will collapse instantly!

My faith was shattered when we met the imperial expeditionary claw fleet ten years ago
