The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 2. Jason's Confession

On the other side, after being under house arrest by the FBI for a few days, Ito and Li Qing were suddenly"invited" by the guards to a"meeting" in a conference room in the hotel one night.

The two thought that what was supposed to come would eventually come, and the U.S. government would finally begin to interrogate the two of them. They have secretly made up their mind that no matter how the US government threatens or induces them, they will never reveal any information and will fight the US government to the end.

On the way to the conference room, the two of them kept looking around, carefully paying attention to their surroundings, trying to find a way to escape. But the guards were heavily guarded and didn't give them any chance. Finally, the two reluctantly came to the conference room.

As soon as they entered the conference room, they saw two"acquaintances" sitting beside the conference table."——Ashley and Brad.

When Ashley saw the two coming, she acted very cordial and friendly, smiled at them, and said hello to them. Brad, on the other hand, still looked carefree, playing with his mobile phone in his hand while squinting at the graceful figure of the beautiful woman Li Qing.

In addition, they also saw two people they had never seen before sitting in the middle of the conference table - a tall, expressionless old woman, and a fat, middle-aged black man.

After Ashley waited for Ito and Li Qing to sit down, she introduced them straight to the point. The two people sitting in the middle of the conference table were CIA Director Audrey Casey and FBI Director Gabriel Gonzalez. Si, I came here specially this time because I wanted to have a good chat with them about Hill and wormhole transmission technology.

After hearing Ashley's introduction, Ito was slightly startled, thinking that the heads of the two major intelligence agencies in the United States would actually"come here" for him. It seemed that these people really"valued" him very much, and they were very interested in wormhole transmission technology. The US government is obviously determined to obtain the secrets of the Hill team.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more defensive.

Ashley saw the vigilance of Ito and Li Qing, and said softly:"Relax a little, don't be so nervous. Although our ideas are indeed different from yours, we are not your enemies, and we have no regard for you. Malice. There is really no need for you to be as close to the enemy as you are now. In fact, we are sincerely seeking to cooperate with you this time. Now not only the United States, but the entire world may be facing a crisis, and we urgently need you. support and help."

Ito said coldly:"No malice? Previously, you attacked our plane at Narita Airport in Japan and attacked us with force. You also set an ambush against our convoy in Huaxia Guodunhuang and attacked us. The intention is evil. You actually have the nerve to say that you have no malicious intent. This is so unconvincing."

Audrey Casey said calmly:"It is true that in the past, we did take some radical measures against you from our own standpoint. , we are deeply sorry for offending you. But later, our thinking also changed. Not only did we persuade the president to make a commitment to the legal application of wormhole transmission technology, but we also rescued your team in Geneva. You We also saved your lives at critical moments. So, we are not always the"bad guys". As the situation changes, we are also the"good guys" who save you. It depends on how you look at things."

Ito said firmly:"We are very grateful that you saved us. But I know that the reason why you saved us is just to get the wormhole transmission technology from me and make it your military weapon. What you gave Hill doesn't believe that you can really make those promises, and I don't believe it either. So, no matter what you say, I will never cooperate with you and hand over the wormhole transmission technology."

Brad disdainful of Ito He said quietly:"Hey, man, you just handed over the secret of wormhole transmission technology to the vicious Xingrihui not long ago. If we hadn't intercepted it in time, you don't need to tell me how bad the consequences would have been. Now, you know. You pretend to be noble and upright in front of us, don't you think it's hypocritical?"

After hearing this, Ito suddenly turned pale and lost his mind. Brad's words struck a chord in his weakness. Although he did it because of Li Qing's last resort, he did violate his principles and compromised with the Xingri Society. This is an irrefutable fact and a stain that he will never be able to wash away in his life. When Brad mentioned it at this time, he felt ashamed and speechless.

Audrey Casey turned her head and glared at Brad, seeming to blame him for going so far. Brad shrugged, spread his palms, and said,"I'm not wrong."

Li Qing stretched out his slender hand and held Ito tightly, turned his head and said excitedly to Audrey Casey and others:"It is precisely because he made a mistake once that he is even more unwilling to make it a second time. The reason why he did it last time He did this to protect me. And this time, no matter who wants to use any dirty means to force him to submit, they will never succeed. Because... because we have all made the decision." She said on her side As he spoke, he fiddled with his sleeves consciously. Hidden inside her sleeve was a pair of small scissors stolen from the hotel suite. She planned to act as she had agreed with Ito if the worst happened, even if they had to die together.

Audrey and Casey were all sharp-eyed people, so they naturally saw Li Qing's thoughts at a glance. Ashley quickly reassured:"Qing, calm down. Listen to me, the main purpose of our meeting with you this time is not to force you to hand over the wormhole transmission technology, but for other things. As for wormhole transmission Regarding the application of technology, we already understand your position very well. If you are really unwilling to cooperate with us, we will not impose any pressure on you, so you can rest assured."

Li Qing said with doubt on his face:"Really Is that so? Are you really not going to force us?"

Gabriel Gonzalez interjected:"In fact, even if you are unwilling to cooperate, we can still obtain the secret of wormhole transmission technology from other ways. So. , there is no need for us to force you."

After hearing this, Ito said in surprise:"Other ways? Could it be... was Hill also arrested by you?"

Gabriel Gonzalez said lightly:"No, we did not arrest him. to Hill, but we caught another guy." He said, picking up a remote control from the table and turning on the display in the conference room. A live surveillance image of a prison cell appeared on the monitor screen.

In the cell, Sakura Muto, wearing prison uniform, handcuffs and shackles, was pacing back and forth in the dark and narrow space next to the bed out of boredom. Her face looked a little pale and weak due to the initial recovery from a serious injury, and her expression was full of resentment and anxiety.

When Ito and Li Qing saw Muto Sakura being imprisoned, they immediately understood what was going on. The two looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Gabriel Gonzalez continued:"You don't need to introduce me, you also know who she is. This woman is very lucky. After being hit by a sniper rifle, she is still alive. She was brought to the United States from Switzerland by our people She woke up the next day. Through observations in the past few days, we are very sure that she has memorized the"key parameter values" you wrote to her before, and now she is racking her brains to sneak this information out of the prison. Pass it out and hand it over to the personnel of the Xingri Society outside.

We are going to use the trick, set up a trap, find someone to pretend to be a spy of the Xingri Society, sneak into the prison to contact her, and try to trick her into handing over the"key parameter values". As long as If everything goes well, it is estimated that we will be able to obtain the"key parameter values" in a short time. After that, as long as we find some top physicists in the United States, based on the principles of wormhole transmission technology and the previous work published by Ito's mentor Iori Yagami After reading the research papers, re-derive the theoretical model of the wormhole mechanism, and substitute the"key parameter values" into this theoretical model, you can fully master the wormhole transmission technology. Therefore, whether you cooperate or not, the wormhole transmission technology They will all be in our pocket."

Ito glared at Gabriel Gonzalez reluctantly and said:"Even if that woman really told you the"key parameter values", that is still my"knowledge""Property rights", without my permission, you have no right to abuse it. Isn't your FBI the guardian of the law? As the director of the FBI, do you plan to help the White House cover the sky and ignore legal procedures?"

Gabriel Gonzalez He said with a serious expression:"As far as I know, so far, your wormhole transmission technology has not applied for a patent worldwide, so strictly speaking, it does not belong to you, and we do not violate the law by doing this.

Of course, I admit that this is not a very legitimate behavior. I personally don't like this approach either. For us, the most ideal procedure is for you to agree to cooperate with us, and then the Pentagon (U.S. Department of Defense) will spend a huge amount of money to purchase your"intellectual property" and protect your related economic rights. In this way, not only can you gain fame and fortune, but we can also save a lot of trouble, which benefits everyone. But now that you insist on refusing to cooperate with us, we have no choice but to take some unconventional measures. But no matter what, everything we do is for the interests of the United States and is in compliance with American laws."

Ito knew that what Gabriel Gonzalez said was true. He could not stop the FBI's actions at all. He could only watch the US government acquire the wormhole transmission technology. He felt extremely desperate in his heart. Angry, he clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head and muttered (in Japanese):"Damn it, damn it, damn it...it still ended up like this."

Li Qing looked at Ito sadly and didn't know how to comfort him.
