At two o'clock in the morning, the door to the single cell was unlocked.
Yang Ming jumped up alertly on the single bed, frowning and looking at the door that was slightly open.
A black card was stuffed in, and then the door closed again.
Yang Ming's ears twitched slightly, and the snoring coming from various cells could be heard clearly, and the sound of slight footsteps gradually moved away.
Yang Ming waited for a while before walking to the door and picking up the card.
I don’t know what kind of material this thing is made of. I bought it coldly and put a note on the back that said ‘Apron No. 6’.
Yang Ming put the card on the door lock, the familiar click sound came, and the electronic door unlocked by itself...
Oh, does it mean that he can escape from prison at will?
Are those guys who are doing some conspiracy behind the scenes so impatient to wait?
He had just been in this single room for six or seven hours, and he hadn't even used the bathroom for his own use a few times!
Yang Ming put his ear against the door and listened carefully. After making sure that no one was outside, he quietly opened the door.
He looked up and observed that the sentry post where the guards were supposed to be was empty; there were two miniature cameras above his head that were slowly rotating and aimed at his head.
'really.'
This detail confirmed Yang Ming's suspicion.
Superintendent Gulipa wants to make contact with Kolev, use this card to open the next cell, and then go to the apron of No. 6 with Kolev to leave?
Tsk, only a fool would believe that.
Yang Ming seemed to hear the whispers of the guards hiding in the dark, and saw the sinister smile of the warden.
But for Yang Ming, this is also an opportunity to directly contact Kolev.
He walked to the next cell next to the wall and saw the metal nameplate attached to the cell.
'This is a most vicious villain.'
'He killed countless people and was a feared pirate.'
'He must spend his last days here.'
'Never take him lightly at any time.'
Inexplicably, Yang Ming still had a little expectation at this moment.
He seemed to have seen a vicious man standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones, with dark red mechanical prosthetics emitting weak arcs of electricity.
Suddenly, the electronic lock in front of Yang Ming had a green unlocking device, but Yang Ming did not use the black card in his hand.
The door opens from the inside!
Yang Ming immediately dodged to the right.
The door of cell 625 opened a crack, and a warm yellow light spread. Yang Ming stared at the crack in the door carefully, and then he saw a person looking out from the crack...
Little old man.
Uh, he is the big pirate he has been looking for for more than a week?
This is a thin old man with a white beard and long locks of hair, all showing his poor personal hygiene habits. The old man is wearing light green striped pajamas and a nightcap with cartoon images printed on it.
, it also looks extremely unique.
If Yang Ming were to describe it, this old man would be a bit like a shorter version of the film and television character Gandalf.
Of course, compared to this old man, the other black card in the old man's hand and the paper magazine with the sexy girl on it were more attractive to Yang Ming.
"Oh?"
The old man spotted Yang Ming, and the two looked at each other briefly.
boom!
The alloy door slammed shut, and the electronic lock automatically locked again.
'We can't let him escape!'
Yang Ming opened the electronic lock with the card in his hand, opened the door and rushed in.
The old man grabbed his cartoon nightcap and found a nearby wall to support it with one hand. He pretended to be nonchalant and raised his eyebrows at Yang Ming.
"Hey, kid, what's the matter with you?"
"Kolev? Leader of the Black Dragon Pirates?" Yang Ming asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment: "Yes, I am."
The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at the black card in Yang Ming's hand: "Wow, you have one too."
"Someone arranged for me to escape from prison," Yang Ming said calmly, "but I think it's a trap."
"This must be a trap, they like to do this! They will give you some convenient conditions to make you escape from prison, so that they can kill you openly."
The old man clicked his tongue and crossed his arms in front of him, as if this posture could help him find confidence in his body shape.
Kolev gushed:
"Listen to me, kid, there are no death penalty regulations in the Interstellar Court. Everything here is transparent and will be monitored by various countries. As long as you behave yourself, they will have no way to target you.
“They don’t dare to poison us, as that would lead to an investigation by the joint investigation team, and they don’t dare to harm us directly here, as that would be criticized by human rights fighters from all walks of life and affect their funding.
"Only a prison break is considered a direct threat to the life safety of the guards, and they have the right to kill prisoners with any crime.
"Of course I have the card in your hand, too. It's just a trap that wants us to die."
"I agree with your statement," Yang Ming smiled, "Then why did you go out just now?"
Kolev hesitated for a while and murmured: "A beast that has tasted freedom cannot enter his tomb in advance."
Yang Ming's impression of this old man changed a bit.
But this Kolev...is over 1.6 meters tall, with loose muscles all over his body, and a bulging belly, and he looks like he has no fighting ability.
Kolev said: "Wait a minute, the style of these military pants...are you a Sherman soldier?"
Yang Ming nodded.
Kolev stroked his fluffy beard and chuckled: "Sherman's aristocratic ladies have really good skin."
"Do you want to leave here?" Yang Ming asked.
"Of course, who doesn't yearn for freedom? But it seems nice here?"
Kolev spread his hands and seemed to be trying to convince himself:
"Look, we have a great environment here. Except that I can't connect to the Internet, I can do whatever I want. They will ensure my life safety."
"I am old, child. I am already seventy-two years old. My time has passed. I just need to wait here quietly for death to come.
"Not many pirates live to my age.
"Yes, I don't want to go out."
Yang Ming:……
This guy can really hypnotize himself.
"Okay, go back to sleep, young man. It's unethical to interfere with the rest of the elderly."
Kolev waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to ask me for some professional knowledge about pirates, I can teach you some secrets because of our relationship as prisoners."
"excuse me."
Yang Ming turned around and opened the electronic lock. Before leaving, he repeated the sentence with a sneer:
"The beast that has tasted freedom cannot enter his tomb prematurely."
Kolev's expression was constipated.
…
Yang Ming was lying on the single bed in cell 624, listening to the pacing coming from the cell next to him.
While chatting with this little old man, well, this big pirate, Yang Ming quickly noticed something unusual about him.
Those little eyes were very wise, and she seemed to be seen through in front of him.
But everyone has weaknesses, and so does this old man.
It is a pity that Yang Ming had not heard of Kolev when he played "Abyss". The background world of "Abyss", or the world in front of him, is too huge, and each player can only explore a very limited range. Kolev
He is not the kind of super pirate who is famous in the galaxy.
So, how to conquer Kolev?
Carry it away by force?
It is not advisable. What he needs is a spaceship to leave Cole Port and go to the Omnic Twilight. It is not difficult to see that Kolev is an arrogant guy, and it is difficult to achieve his goal by forcing the other party.
By inducement?
Hanton's savings when he planned to marry a female noble were not enough to buy half of the smallest jump-capable spaceship, and such a big pirate must have a lot of money.
"Tsk," Yang Ming changed his posture.
Just like Kolev who was pacing constantly, Yang Ming himself felt a little itchy.
The big pirates were right in front of him, and the channels for acquiring spaceships were right in front of him; Yang Ming might even be able to secure the supply channels for genetic stabilizers through the black market where pirates traded.
Yang Ming is very aware of the dilemma he faces.
On the one hand, the performance of Gulipa and Lao Pailin today made him aware of the imminent crisis.
On the other hand, the identity of being the only result of the Imperial Martial God Project is particularly fatal.
Although only Lina now knows the information that he is a reformer, the empire and its enemies regard his performance in the next court session as his only value.
But normally, the intelligence systems of the major forces penetrate each other.
And the longer he stays in this prison, the greater the risk of exposure, and he will be dead with just one blood test.
If it really comes to that, the four major gangsters in the galaxy - the Sherman Empire, the New Federation, the United States of Free States, and the Guel Alliance - will desperately get this transformation technology, and it will be extremely difficult for him to escape again.
Therefore, this big pirate Kolev is the perfect opportunity for Yang Ming to take the initiative to break out!
'We have to take a gamble.'
Yang Ming calculated that Kolev would definitely come to look for him if he wanted to take action, so he closed his eyes and began to fall into a light sleep.
——He can now control his sleeping state.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning in the Milky Way time, Cole Harbor had also entered the 'day' mode, the outer protective shield had become transparent, and the M-type star was once again hanging in the starry sky.
The day seemed particularly long.
Yang Ming forced himself to sleep throughout the day to recharge his energy for the night's action.
Wait until midnight, the same time as last night.
Yang Ming was neatly dressed in the imperial military uniform, and his freshly washed short hair looked particularly fresh.
He stood at the door and listened carefully, but it was still empty outside. The seven or eight guards who were supposed to be on duty on the sixth floor were now missing.
suddenly.
Boom, boom.
There was a slight vibration on the wall, and Kolev seemed to be tapping on the wall.
Yang Ming thought for a moment - he actually suspected that Kolev was part of the trap.
'Always give it a try.'
Yang Ming knocked on the wall a few times with gentle force.
Bang, bang bang!
It got quiet over there.
Yang Ming was not in a hurry.
After about three or four minutes, there was another noise on the wall.
Boom, boom boom boom.
Yang Ming smiled calmly and responded to the other party.
This game went on for a while.
Just when Yang Ming thought that he and this weird old man had reached a tacit understanding, he heard the click of the electronic lock in the cell next door. A few seconds later, the electronic lock in his own cell was also unlocked, and Kolev rushed in in a hurry.
, and closed the door forcefully.
"Hey!" The old man glared at Yang Ming, "What are you talking about!"
"What?" Yang Ming was a little confused.
"I'm talking to you using the Logan code! The Logan code! Don't you, a soldier, know that? I ask you, will you act tonight? You answer me, open fire and open fire. I ask you, do you have a response? You answer
Me, you are so naughty."
Kolev’s shaggy beard was trembling:
"No one, no one has ever dared to call me coquettish! You are sexually harassing me! Oh! My God! My daughter has become the leader of a pirate group, and you do it!"
Yang Ming was a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Hey, Kolev, don't you know? Our empire now uses Moore's code."
Kolev frowned and glared at Yang Ming, finally losing his temper.
"Are you going tonight?" Kolev asked.
"This is a trap," Yang Ming calmly crossed his arms, "You said so."
"Yes, this is a trap," Kolev sneered, "I can even imagine the cold expression on the half-bald inspector. He must be hiding behind the screen in the main control room and staring at the two of us."
"So, how should I trust you?" Yang Ming asked, "I just came here, and you are already a veteran here."
"This is a risk you need to take, boy, and you need to make your own judgment."
Kolev's eyes were still sharp, he played with the black card in his hand and sneered:
"This card, they're insulting me, you know? They're insulting me.
"If I were free to leave the cell and do nothing, I would become a laughing stock in our profession and the reputation I had worked so hard to build for forty years would be destroyed in one day.
"The warden probably just wanted to play a trick of escaping from prison and then killing him, but they didn't know who they had offended."
Yang Ming said: "You mean, we cooperate?"
"You can become my first mate," Kolev raised his head slightly, "a temporary first mate. When we leave here, this contract will be automatically terminated."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Cooperation is fine, but I want you to be my first mate, and you must obey my orders."
"This is impossible!" Kolev became aggressive, "Before I decided to retire, I owned seven warships, seven! I can go directly to those small countries to ask for security fees! And you, young man, look at your military rank, oh
, a captain?”
Yang Ming said: "That's okay. Let's cooperate for the time being and decide who will be the captain and who will be the first mate later."
"You need me to conquer you," Kolev narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Things are getting interesting. Let's go, first mate, and go to apron No. 6 to have a look. Our actions are all under each other's surveillance, but
We must find ways to turn passivity into initiative."
"Okay first mate."
"Oh, don't be naughty, my first mate."
"I should go ahead. You are too old and slow to react, first mate."
"Of course, the captain needs to take charge of the overall situation. I will follow you, first mate."
