Chapter 941: Clone?
Since there was no berth for large battleships, the Swan did not really get close. It stopped outside the cordon and opened the hatch. The Manta flew out of the airlock and finally landed on a landing pad on the surface of the asteroid.
When we arrived at the place, we discovered that this was neither a mine nor a military fortress, but a prison that was both a military fortress and a mine.
Came all this way just to go to prison?
Alyssa was wondering what medicine Eunice was selling in the gourd.
Eunice should have said hello to the people here in advance. The three of them got off the shuttle and went through procedures such as disinfection, inspection, and handing in weapons. Soon, prison guards led the three of them into the prison.
Of course, this route is not to go to jail, but to visit the prison.
Not long after, the prison guard led the three people to a meeting room. There was a special glass wall in the center of the room. It was strong, bulletproof, and could make the glass wall two-way transparent at any time. A phone and a chair were placed there. On this side of the glass wall.
Alyssa thought it was Eunice who was planning to meet someone, but Eunice motioned for Alyssa to sit on a chair.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Eunice still didn't explain, but even though she was here, Alyssa didn't show any courtesy and sat down on the chair.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, the red warning light in the upper left corner of the room lit up, and along with the buzzer beeping, the wall in the center of the room instantly became transparent.
On the other side of the glass wall, also on the chair, appeared a very furui tiger man covered in cats.
"Carlos?"
Alyssa stood up in surprise. Long's crystal ball head fluctuated violently, and she was also extremely shocked.
When Carlos on the other side saw Alyssa, his eyes widened instantly. He stood up excitedly and slapped the glass wall.
However, the glass wall is soundproof, and communication can only be done through the phone. I don’t know what Carlos said, but a prison guard behind Carlos was very dissatisfied. He picked up an electric baton and started banging.
The huge Khajiit was still a carbon-based creature after all. Under the influence of the electric baton, his whole body soon became limp and he lay twitching behind the glass wall.
No, wait, why is Carlos here?
Alyssa was shocked and looked back at Eunice, who was making a concealed gesture to the prison guard on the other side of the glass wall.
Upon seeing this, the prison guard took away the electric baton, then put on a serious expression and returned behind Carlos.
"What the hell is going on? Why is Carlos here?"
"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask him."
Eunice picked up the phone and handed it to Alyssa, and pointed upward covertly.
The meaning is obvious, there is surveillance here, don't say anything sensitive.
Alyssa took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She said into the microphone:
"Carlos, why are you here?"
Carlos, who was still not very clear under the influence of the electric baton, picked up the phone receiver tremblingly: "Captain, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Wait, this doesn’t sound like the words of someone who rebelled against a starship not long ago?
Alyssa's heart beat violently, and she asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on? How long have you been locked up here?"
"I can't remember clearly, it must have been at least two years."
Alyssa's first reaction when she heard this was impossible.
It had been less than half a year since Carlos rebelled, and Alyssa had obviously seen Carlos' holographic projection when she was in Guest City, and that was less than three months ago. Even counting from the time of Guest City, Carlos has been locked up in prison, so he didn't lose his sense of time after being locked up for so long.
When she saw Carlos, Alyssa had no joy at all about her enemy's suffering, and was more confused.
What the hell is going on?
If Carlos is here, who owns my starship?
There were too many questions, but Alyssa was clear-minded and the meeting time was limited, so it was impossible to ask random questions.
First, find out how Carlos ended up in prison.
So she asked:
"How did you get imprisoned?"
"I was captured by bounty hunters at Gemini Space Station. Captain, do you remember that after the old captain's funeral, I and other crew members disembarked to relax? That was that time."
Alyssa's grandfather died two years ago during a long voyage, and the funeral was held on the starship.
According to her last wish, Alyssa's grandfather was put into a coffin, then thrown into the void, and directly reduced to ashes with the starship's main gun.
——Yes, Xinghai Man’s funeral is so wild.
It was almost approaching the Gemini Space Station at that time, and then the starship entered the port, and about one-third of the crew went down to relax.
This is a normal thing. Whenever a ship enters the port, a group of crew members will go out to relax, which helps to maintain the mental health of the crew members when the starship sails for a long time.
But Alyssa clearly remembered that Carlos and many of the crew members who disembarked came back.
"The old captain passed away, and I was in a bad mood. I drank too much in the bar, maybe because I was less vigilant. I was blocked by a bounty hunter in the hotel, and then after several changes of hands, I was sent to this institution. prison."
This is completely inconsistent with Alyssa’s memory.
Could it be that there are two Carloss?
No, Carlos on the starship clearly knew things that only Carlos knew. It was impossible for the impostor to disguise himself so perfectly that he could not find out after staying with Alyssa and Long for two years.
Alyssa felt a little confused, but she knew that if she told Carlos about the confusion, the two of them would be confused.
So Alyssa didn't mention a word about the starship being taken away, and continued to ask:
"For what crime?"
"It was because of the rebellion that took place in the Red Maple Republic that year that I was wanted as a political prisoner."
Alyssa really didn't know much about the rebellion in the Red Maple Republic. She rarely came to this place and had almost no dealings with it.
All she knew was that Carlos was implicated in the first place and managed to escape thanks to his father's connections.
As for the sentence?
It's no use asking, because political prisoners are generally unlikely to be released and will be held until death.
"Do you still remember the ancient elf ruins that grandpa took us to four years ago? That time left a scar on your chest."
Carlos was a little confused by the sudden words, but he still replied: "Remember, but those are not the ruins of ancient elves, but the residence of a group of cults more than three hundred years ago."
That's right, this is indeed Carlos, he is not pretending!
But Carlos on the starship obviously also has all the memories of being with Alyssa and the others, just like two people with the same memory.
What the hell.
Clone?
Alyssa felt more and more confused.
