"Freedom?"

Zorg tasted the strange word and then shook his head.

"You don't have to plot against me. It's meaningless. I can't and will never betray my master."

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened. I don't know when a second figure appeared in the room, just five meters away, but he didn't notice it at all.

At the same time, the blood vessels in his head seemed to burst, and the air pipe was completely squeezed.

"Master -"

He sent a message with his psionics in despair.

Talos suddenly loosened the binding device and let zorg collapse on the floor.

Although hurt and dizzy, the spy forced his mind to turn quickly, and his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the room.

He saw the huge figure and the hot red light on each other's goggles, but he couldn't read each other's heart.

Something blocked him.

Obviously, the urgent message he just sent would not be received by his master, which made him very desperate.

"Is it hard?"

The shadow asked in a low voice, and then the other party took off his helmet, but his face was still hidden under the hood of his robe.

Zorg wanted to stand up, but then a penetrating scream, like the sound of wet fingers sliding through glass, pierced his cerebral cortex.

The sharp pain ignited in his autonomic nervous system and continued to burn along his spine.

"Uh!"

He groaned and turned back.

"He is wild and has a tough mind."

Said the hooded figure.

"You can't subdue him?"

Talos asked with a smile.

"That's not true."

"Then let him stay still."

The scream suddenly increased and zorg began to twitch.

"We need to talk, zorg."

The huge shadow in the hood stooped close to him.

"I'll either hear the truth from you or crush your cursed skull, okay? We've made it clear?"

The tearful zorg nodded, and the pain was incomparable.

Later, he felt blood flowing from his nose to his lips.

"Well, freedom is a good thing, isn't it? After I let you go, don't use psionic tricks. We have made this clear?"

"Yes."

Zorg hissed, his throat aching and tingling.

"Then we have a deal."

With that, the shrill sound immediately disappeared, taking away most of the pain.

Zorg lay limp on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Let's have some light. I don't like hiding in the dark."

The giant said, and dozens of candles around the room lit automatically at the same time.

The yellow flame on the candle gave off a soft light, allowing zorg to see the cell clearly.

Like all standard cell buildings, there are no furnishings and decorations on the floor and walls, reflecting candlelight like water.

At the same time, he also saw the man who had just tortured himself: a tall Star Warrior in armor, with a just face, black hair and black pupils.

"Don't you desire freedom?"

The strange star warrior asked, but zorg just responded with a sneer.

"Who is truly free in the galaxy?"

"Oh, you can see it."

Zorg shook his head, drops of his blood dotted the surrounding tiles.

"There are untouchable people around here. Why didn't I see him?"

"Look at me."

The strange astat suddenly ordered.

Zorg raised his head. The other party was wearing huge power armor, which was the standard armor of the imperial astat, but it was more gorgeous. The silver gray armor had gold trim, the cross emblem of double swords was printed on the shoulder armor, and the dim light came out from the seam of the neck.

Looking at the man, a terrible thought flashed through zorg's mind.

This person, perhaps, is soshyan Alexei, the leader of the star knights who reportedly hurt Huron.

Looking at it, zorg suddenly found that the tingling feeling appeared again, and he felt that his whole body was cold, as if he were in the polar region, and his soul was going to freeze.

"You --"

"Be quiet."

Astat raised a huge index finger, and the feeling disappeared again.

"You have to tell me everything I want to know, not what you want to say. A psychic will live worse than die in my hands. You will never want to experience that taste."

Zorg nodded.

"What information did your master send you here to look for?"

Zorg, who felt fear for the first time, nodded again.

"During this time, you have been looking up traffic records, material transportation records, assembly and celebration records. Are you investigating our number?"

"Yes."

"Why does your master know that our number is abnormal?"

"He didn't tell me."

The starfighter narrowed his eyes, and then the shrill sound penetrated zorg's mind and made him roar.

"No -- don't, don't!"

"I'm the battle leader of the star knight, soshyan Alexei. Don't play any tricks in front of me."

Zorg sobbed. He felt that his soul seemed to be torn to pieces. He had never encountered such a situation and could only speak reluctantly.

"They... I don't know... Master... They... It seems that someone... Told him... What."

"This is not a good answer. Maybe I should let your soul be crumpled in endless torture."

"Really... That's the only thing I know!"

Zorg had begun to scream and tears could not stop falling.

"Continue."

"Please!"

"Stop, soshyan. There's no point in killing him."

Talos suddenly spoke, and the shrill sound subsided.

The prophet squatted down, looked at zorg's sweating face, smiled and said:

"Now, you also see the ability of our war leader. If I tell you that he can erase the mark left by Kayan in your soul, are you willing to cooperate with us? At that time, I promise to give you freedom. Even if it is only moderate freedom, it is at least more fond of corpse than Kayan, right?"

Zorg was shaking all over now. The feeling was too painful for him to bear the next time.

It's even worse than being eaten alive by demons in sub space.

"I --"

Zorg swallowed his throat, feeling sore and dry.

"- what do you want me to do?"

Talos turned his head and looked at soshyan. They smiled knowingly. Then Kayan whispered:

"As if nothing had happened, continue to send him information."

"Just... So?"

"Yes, we'll let you know what needs to be done later. Before that -"

Talos snapped his fingers, and then the door opened with a ray of light, and a white giant came in.

"Our pharmacist will perform some minor operations involving safety measures for you. Don't be nervous. It won't be too bad."

Looking at the approaching pharmacist, zorg swallowed his saliva, but there was no room for resistance
