Chapter 941 Clone?
Since there was no berth for large warships, the Swan did not really approach. It stopped outside the cordon and opened the hatch. The Manta flew out of the airlock and finally landed on a helipad on the surface of the asteroid.
When they arrived, they found that this was neither a mine nor a military fortress, but a prison that combined military fortresses and mines.
Came all the way here just to come to the prison?
Alyssa was very puzzled about what Eunice was up to.
Eunice should have greeted the people here in advance. The three of them got off the shuttle and went through disinfection, inspection, and surrender of their personal weapons. Soon, a prison guard took the three of them into the prison.
Of course, this route was not to go to jail, but to visit the prison.
Not long after, the prison guard led the three to a meeting room. There was a special glass wall in the middle of the room, which was strong and bulletproof, and could be made two-way transparent at any time. A phone and a chair were placed on this side of the glass wall.
Alyssa thought that Eunice was going to meet someone, but Eunice motioned Alyssa to sit on the chair.
"What do you want to do?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Eunice still didn't explain, but since she was here, Alyssa didn't hesitate and sat 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, accompanied by a buzzer beep, and the wall in the center of the room instantly became transparent.
On the other side of the glass wall, also on the chair, a tiger man covered in cats appeared.
"Carlos?"
Alyssa stood up in surprise, and Long's crystal ball head fluctuated violently, and was also extremely shocked.
Carlos on the other side looked at Alyssa, and his eyes widened instantly. He stood up excitedly and slapped the glass wall.
However, the glass wall was soundproof, and communication could only be done through that phone. I don't know what Carlos said, but a prison guard behind Carlos was very dissatisfied and picked up an electric baton to beep.
The huge tiger man was still a carbon-based creature after all. He soon became limp under the effect of the electric baton and lay behind the glass wall twitching.
No, wait, why is Carlos here?
Alyssa looked back at Eunice in shock, who was making a hidden gesture to the prison guard on the other side of the glass wall.
The prison guard took away the electric baton and returned to Carlos with a serious expression.
"What's 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 upwards secretly.
The meaning was obvious, there was surveillance here, so don't say anything sensitive.
Alyssa took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She said to the microphone:
"Carlos, why are you here?"
Carlos was still not very clear due to the influence of the electric baton, and tremblingly picked up the phone receiver:
"Captain, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Wait, this tone doesn't sound like the words of someone who robbed the starship and rebelled 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, at least more than two years."
Alyssa's first reaction after hearing this was that it was impossible.
Carlos' rebellion lasted less than half a year, and Alyssa had seen Carlos' holographic projection when she was in the guest star city, but it had only been less than three months.
Even if Carlos had been locked up in prison since the guest star city, he had not lost his perception of time for such a long time.
When seeing Carlos, Alyssa had no joy at the suffering of her enemy, but more doubts.
What the hell is going on?
If Carlos is here, who has my starship?
There are too many questions, but Alyssa is clear-headed. The meeting time is limited, so it is impossible to ask questions without any rules.
First, find out how Carlos was put in prison.
So she asked:
"How were you imprisoned?"
"I was captured by bounty hunters at the Gemini Space Station, Captain, do you remember that after the old captain's funeral, I and other crew members went off the ship to relax? That was then."
Alyssa's grandfather died two years ago, during a long voyage, and the funeral was held on the starship.
According to his will, Alyssa's grandfather was put in a coffin, thrown into the void, and turned into ashes directly by the starship's main gun.
——Yes, the funeral of a man in the star sea is so wild.
At that time, it was almost close to the Gemini Space Station, and then the starship entered the port, and about one-third of the crew went down to relax.
This is a very normal thing. Whenever a ship enters the port, a group of crew members will go down to relax, which helps to maintain the mental health of the crew during the long-term voyage of the starship.
But Alyssa clearly remembered that Carlos and the crew members who disembarked all came back.
"The old captain passed away, and I was in a bad mood. I drank a little too much in the bar. Maybe because of my lowered vigilance, I was blocked by bounty hunters in the hotel. After several changes of hands, I was sent to this prison."
This is completely inconsistent with Alyssa's memory.
Could it be that there are two Carlos?
That's not right. Carlos on the starship clearly knew something that only Carlos knew. It's impossible for the counterfeit to disguise so perfectly that he didn't 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 these confusions, then they would be confused.
So Alyssa didn't mention the starship being taken away, and continued to ask:
"What crime?"
"It's still because of the rebellion that happened in the Red Maple Republic that year. I was wanted as a political prisoner."
Alyssa didn't really know much about the rebellion in the Red Maple Republic. She rarely came to this place and had almost no dealings with it.
She only knew that Carlos was implicated at the beginning, and he escaped with great difficulty relying on his father's connections.
As for the sentence?
It's useless to ask, because political prisoners are generally unlikely to be released and will be locked up until death.
"Do you remember the ancient elf ruins that grandpa took us to four years ago? The one that left a scar on your chest."
Carlos was a little confused by this sudden sentence, but he still replied:
"I remember, but it was not the ruins of the ancient elves, but the residence of a cult from more than 300 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, like two people with the same memory.
What the hell.
Doppelgänger?
Alyssa felt more and more confused.
