Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 203 Torturing the Trio's Struggle

"What Morais said makes sense. If you take this matter on your own, you have to solve the primary problem, who will be the person who is exposed to the government." On the way back, Keating brought up Morais again. The question mentioned, "Your and my identities are too sensitive, and we can only choose from Diaz, Nord, and Murphy."

  Verak said nothing.

   This is how he chooses?

  No one is stupid, and they all know very well in their hearts that they are close to death if they do this.

   Whoever he picks may mean whoever dies, so how to arrange it? He couldn't bear it, let alone think about how the person he picked would feel in his heart.

  Seeing that Veraker was silent, Keating knew he hesitated. If Verac had the opportunity to go up by himself, he would 100% go up decisively, but fate only gave him the right to choose someone, so he made a difficult decision: "Let's think about it again."

"This matter is related to the general plan of the Equality Association, and we have to do it." Verak finally said, "But no matter what I choose, I am giving others a big favor. I can't just use my mouth and let others take risks." Do things at the risk of your life.”

"So if you insist on stalemate, then there is no solution to this matter." Keating patted Veraker on the back, "Moles' last intention is already obvious, this matter can be done or not, according to our principle It's no big deal to plan and act. Anyway... the choice is yours."

   "Let's perfect the plan first." The choice Verak made was to avoid the most difficult problem to face first.

   Keating knew that it would eventually need to be faced, but he didn't make the matter too clear, leaving time and space for Veraker to weigh himself: "Hmm..."

  Government building, interrogation room of Ministry of Security

   Today, Locke Shriver's face was less slack, with his hands in his pockets, he sat patiently in the interrogation room with a few subordinates, waiting for Dawn, who had already been transported to Lazein, to complete the formalities and meet him and Rose directly.

   "He's here?" The only time Ross asked Rock Shriver on his own initiative these days.

   The interrogation room was quite quiet. Locke Shriver had stumbled in front of Ross many times before, and this time he also wanted to let Ross experience the torment, so he pretended not to hear, closed his eyes and waited for someone to come over.

  In the silent interrogation room, Rose's words were like pebbles thrown into the water, quickly swallowed by calm.

   After a long time, there was commotion outside the interrogation room. A tall and strong man was firmly chained and escorted in by four soldiers.

  Seeing the person coming, Locke Shriver raised the corners of his mouth, feeling confident about knowing the secrets of Chris and the Equal Society.

  As soon as the man was escorted into the interrogation room, he stopped in his tracks, no matter how much the soldiers pushed him. His originally disheartened face, with dull eyes, finally became volatile after he saw Ross who was hung up and bruised all over his body.

  Ross also thumped in his heart, and looked at Dawn, who was escorted in and stunned.

   Both of them were the last to part with Verak and Keating. They fled to different places, but finally met again in chains.

  Rock Shriver noticed their reaction and smiled even wider. He deliberately arranged for the two to meet, hoping that the two could destroy each other's psychological defense: "Hang him up."

  The soldier pushed Dawn harder: "Hurry up!"

  Dawn came back to his senses, was pushed to Rose's side and hung up.

   "Dawn." Locke Shriver looked at Dawn with a smile, which made Dawn shudder, "You two should be old acquaintances. Is there anything you want to talk about when we meet again after a month?"

"Why did you bring me here?" After Dawn was caught, he and his family were immediately taken to Laizein without any explanation. He didn't understand why he wasn't taken directly back to Daymans Prison, "I committed a crime , but has nothing to do with my family."

  Rock Shriver was a bit more certain about the matter when he heard that Dawn had just mentioned his family: "Whether it has anything to do with your family depends on your choice."

   "My choice..." Dawn glanced at Rose next to him.

  Ross's appearance made him extremely frightened. It was almost like this when Verak suffered inhuman torture in prison. If it was just a matter of jailbreak, why would the government go to great lengths to bring them to Laizein for such abuse?

   "It's Wei—" After Dawn saw Rose, he roughly had a result in his mind. Verak's status was far more special than theirs, and it was only because of this incident that they were paid so much attention by the government.

   "I won't say anything about Chris." Rose's reaction was very quick, and when Dawn wanted to ask Rock Shriver's purpose, he immediately interrupted him loudly.

  Rock Shriver looked down on Ross.

   His subordinates understood, picked up the whip from the torture rack, and slapped Rose hard.

   "Crack!" The crisp and loud slap made Dawn tense up.

  He knew that what Ross just said to Rock Shriver was actually meant for him.

  Chris…

  Ross used Verak's false identity, which means that people in the government don't know the inside story yet. Combined with the fact that Ross was tortured, it is obvious that the government arrested them to find out the specific situation of Verak.

   "Is it for Chris?" Dawn stared at Rock Shriver.

   "That's right." Locke Shriver sat down, but exerted a sense of oppression on Dawn, "This matter is not worth going around, let's talk directly."

   "Uh... hiss..." After being whipped, Rose moaned in a low voice, his body trembling uncontrollably.

  Dawn secretly screamed that it is not good, the situation here is too complicated, and the situation between him and Rose is worse than in prison.

   "It's actually very simple. You tell me everything about Chris, and I can pardon you on behalf of the government, allowing you and your family to live safely in any part of this country."

   "What if I don't say it?" Dawn asked knowingly.

  Rock Shriver maintained great patience: "If you don't say anything, both of you and your family will die."

   "He didn't dare... touch us..." Rose said with difficulty, fearing that Dawn would succumb.

   "Don't dare to say it!" Locke Shrivel's subordinates immediately whipped Rose several times, knocking Rose, who was already in poor condition, unconscious.

   "Don't pay attention to him." Locke Shrivel smiled, looking both fierce and gentle, "The reason why he kept his life was just waiting for you to come. When you come, there is no need for him to live."

   As soon as Locke Shriver finished speaking, his subordinates grabbed a knife and planned to kill Ross.

   "Wait!" Dawn stopped.

   "What?" Rock Shriver asked with a half-smile.

   "Killing him won't do you any good." Dawn just came here and didn't understand anything. He could only try his best to maintain the original situation and save the life of Rose, who was on the same front as himself.

  Lock Shriver raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "Then what good is it for us to keep it?"

  Rock Shriver's execution of Ross was not a temporary idea, but something he decided after he knew En was arrested.

  After Dawn came, if Rose was still alive, he would only silently declare that even if he insisted on the result, he would accept it. But to be executed in front of him, everything is different.

  This means that when you are the only one who is valuable, we can not move you, but after you have a replacement, you will definitely die.

  At that time, there is only one situation left for Dawn, either hurry up and speak out, or hold on like Ross, and wait for the next prisoner to be found, and his family will be silenced by the government.

  Ross's only value left is this.

  Forcing Dawn to make a choice.

   "Give me a little time, let me go through these things, okay?" This choice is very tricky, and it is difficult for Dawn to make a choice. All he can do is delay time.

"Why bother? You can leave as soon as you say it." Locke Shriver stood up with a puzzled look on his face, "Why do you have to waste time? Can you bear it here, can your wife and children bear it? They What if something happens to you if you are cold, hungry, or frightened?"

Facing Rock Shriver's threat, Dawn became more cautious when speaking: "My mind is in a mess now. These things are too sudden, and now you ask me to talk about Chris, and I don't even know where to start. , I can't even think of many things for a while..."

   "Then how long do you want?" Rock Shriver put his hands behind his back, walked to a position less than half a meter away from Dawn, and asked peacefully with his head up.

   "I don't know..." Dawn naturally hoped that the longer the better, so he refused to say an exact figure.

   "Is two hours long enough?" Rock Shriver said, "If you haven't figured it out after two hours, you'll miss your meal."

  Dawn shook his head: "It's too short, give me at least two days..."

"I don't want to see this be the first meal for you, your wife, and your children." Locke Shriver said to himself, "Okay, let's arrange a place that is quiet enough for you so that you won't be disturbed. A room that is easy to navigate.”

   Hou's four soldiers on the side stepped forward and put Dawn down.

Dawn saw that he was about to separate from Ross and lost the opportunity to understand the situation and communicate with each other. He immediately begged: "I can also be here. I can chat with Ross and recall the past. I can still help you guys. Persuade him, maybe he knows something that I don't know."

  Rock Shriver has already seen through Dawn's trick: "Take it away."

  Layerin West, Asa Hotel, Verac's room

   "Then we will follow this path. We must explain everything before being exposed to the government's sight." Veraker and Keating discussed the specific plan of action.

   "Well, and we have to deal with different situations and formulate different rescue plans at the end of the plan." Keating held a hot water cup in his hand to keep warm.

  Verak deeply agrees. With a mature rescue plan, others are more willing to take risks to do this, and he is more willing to assign it: "For me, this is the most important thing. I can ensure that I can come back alive. The hurdles in my heart It will pass."

   "Then do you have any ideas?" Keating asked.

   "Not yet." It was only a few hours since the idea was mentioned and they reported it to Morais, and Verac has not yet been able to plan the plan in such a short period of time.

   "Don't worry." Keating couldn't help persuading again, "I know that when you are stubborn, others won't listen to what you say, but you still have to stop and take it easy."

  Villac didn't act as perfunctory as Keating expected, but accepted it sincerely: "I will. Letting go for a while is also to better solve the problem."

   "It's good if you can think that way. Well, you go relax and rest, I'm going back." After chatting for a long time, Keating basically told Veraker everything he could think of.

   "Okay." Verak didn't get up, but leaned on the sofa, rubbing his temples to soothe his nerves.

   Keating walked out the door with a water glass in one hand. Within two seconds, another foot stepped into Verak's room: "Come out."

   "Huh?" Verak was stunned for a moment, and walked over slowly, "What's wrong, teacher?"

   Keating didn't speak, just made way for him.

  After Verak went out, he found Nord, Diaz, and Murphy standing in the corridor, shivering from the cold.

   "What are you doing standing in the corridor in the cold?" Verak felt chilly just after going out, so it was hard to understand what the three of them were drawing outside.

   "We..." Diaz was speechless.

   "Let's go in and talk about it." Nord shrank his neck and passed Verak into his room without any explanation.

  Villac understood that the three of them were running after him, and called Diaz and Murphy to come in too: "Come in."

  After the two entered, Veraker and Keating, who was about to leave, also returned together, and the five of them sat around in the living room again.

   "Tell me, what's the matter." Verak poured a cup of hot water for the three of them.

  Nord picked up the water glass, took a big sip, and then shivered from top to bottom: "The three of us discussed something outside."

   "What can you three discuss?" Virak said.

"I know what concerns you have." Nord said seriously after drinking the water, "This task is very dangerous, and your identity is too sensitive, so you can only choose one of us to do it under the nose of the government." piece."

   "It's not a chess piece..." Verak didn't expect that they would think of this before he explained it to them in detail.

   "That's not important." Nord didn't care if the description was correct, "In short, among the three of us, at least one person will do it, right?"

  Verak didn't speak.

   "That's right." Keating spoke for him.

"What a great opportunity to perform. The three of us agree that whoever you choose is unfair to the other two, so we want to compete fairly, and whoever has the most ability will do it." Nord pretended to be relaxed Said, "This is the result of our discussions outside."

"It's not your turn to think about it, I will arrange everything." Verak was very moved by the choice made by the three, but he instinctively wanted to delay this matter until the situation was better Later.

Diaz also participated in the fight: "I know you are embarrassed, but this is not entirely for your consideration. It is up to you to choose people, and those who are not selected will feel sorry, and will bear no less than your pressure and guilt. .”

  Verak did not think about this issue for the three of them.

"We are fighting with you, we want to make an internal decision, and we also hope to gain your respect and mutual respect." Diaz said, "I think...with this arrangement, no matter what the final result is, each of us should be able to calm down accepted."
