Chapter 20: The Shadow of the Snake in the Cup
This punch hit the dantian, causing Luo Bin's crystal nucleus roulette to stagnate violently, stop spinning, and the thunderball in his palm disappeared as if it had lost power.
Luo Bin, who fell to the ground, took advantage of the momentum to flip backwards, crouched on the ground, and the dantian under the umbilicus urged again, the roulette wheel rotated drippingly, and his whole body was covered with a layer of silver electricity.
Luo Bin looked up and saw that where he had been standing before, there was a young man dressed in black. Judging from his ghostly figure just now, Luo Bin decided that this person must also have a special ability.
The young man stood steadily, his face expressionless. Seeing that Luo Bin was flashing with electricity all over his body, his face was still expressionless, and he unhurriedly took out a pair of insulated gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands carefully.
Luo Bin understood that if he wanted to escape today, he had to deal with this person as soon as possible.
Before he could make a move, suddenly, the young man's figure disappeared out of thin air in front of him, Luo Bin didn't dare to stay, and turned into a flash of lightning and fled.
When the figure reappeared, he had already stood still with the young man across Wu Shuang.
The young man was holding a push palm gesture and appeared in the place where Luo Bin had just fled. He turned his head indifferently and saw Luo Bin across Wu Shuang, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little confused.
The figure moved again, and the two sides had already exchanged positions, moving and changing again, moving and changing again, for three times, even Wu Shuang, who was sandwiched in the middle, could see it strangely, thinking that these two people would fight if they wanted to, how could they jump around themselves.
In fact, the source of this matter is still Luo Bin, although he has the method of escaping, as long as the young man disappears, he will flee indiscriminately, but where to escape, he will not control it at all.
What he didn't know was that as long as he locked on a spot in his mind, the ability to escape would shoot there.
But the first time he faced someone, he inevitably panicked. This young man's speed is too fast, and he can't see the trajectory of movement at all, although Luo Bin has murderous intentions, he can only defend and dodge at the moment.
Except for the first time he escaped, the thought that came out of his heart was to hide behind Wu Shuang, and the next three times came too fast, he only looked at the place where the young man was standing, so several moves appeared in the position where the young man stood.
And the young man was also peculiar in his heart, he didn't expect Luo Bin's speed to be faster than him, and he also had a bit of a competition in his heart.
So wherever Luo Bin appeared, he pounced. As long as Luo Bin saw the young man disappear, he fled to the young man's position. Outsiders looked like two naΓ―ve adults playing there, but they didn't know that in Luo Bin's eyes, as long as there was a slight negligence just now, it was a matter of life and death.
At this moment, a reprimand broke the embarrassing situation, "Xiaotian, nonsense!"
Hearing this, the young man retracted his posture, turned around and walked away, completely ignoring Luo Bin's existence.
At this time, Luo Bin saw a man wearing glasses, and walked towards him with a smile on his face.
The man looked to be in his fifties and sixties, full of energy, dressed as a simple cadre, with a shirt tucked into his trousers, and an open coat that exposed the belt around his waist.
He walked up to Luo Bin and said apologetically: "Luo Bin, it's all a misunderstanding just now, hurry up and collect the ability." β
Seeing that Luo Bin's body was still full of lightning, he said with a smile: "There are only four people in the entire base here, you must have seen it just now, and we are not hostile." With your ability, if I want to arrest you, I have to prepare more manpower, you say?"
Hearing him say this, Luo Bin didn't dare to let down his vigilance, and asked, "You say that there is no hostility, aren't you preparing to trap me?"
After hearing this, the man replied with a gentle face: "Child, you can go over and take a look, this divine cover has been broken for more than ten years. β
In the previous attack and defense with the young man, Luo Bin seemed to have figured out the positioning method of using the ability to escape. Hearing the man say this, he also wanted to test whether the positioning was successful.
He was afraid that he would fail and bump into something, but he showed his cowardice in the enemy position. So he didn't say anything on his lips, but his mind flowed, and with a "bang", he turned into electric light and successfully flew away to the front of the Shenliu cover, and the test was successful, and his heart was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.
He took a closer look at the divine cover, and it was not only larger, but even more than three times as thick as before.
He circled around the shroud, and found an open hole in the back, the size of a man.
Now Luo Bin naturally understands that it was his own cup of the bow and snake shadow that caused a misunderstanding, but at this time, there are also more questions that need to be answered. I saw his figure flash and appear in front of the man.
Only then did the man raise his hand and introduce himself: "My name is Bai Hongyao, and I am currently the section chief here, and everyone who knows me is called Teacher Shengbai." β
Luo Bin looked at his outstretched hand, but he didn't raise his hand to take it, just raised his head and looked into the man's eyes and asked word by word: "Fifteen years ago, was my mother imprisoned here?"
Bai Hongyao heard Luo Bin's question, but he showed a gloomy look.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Even if you don't ask, I will tell you what happened back then." Don't worry, I won't hurt you. But you have to be considerate and considerate of my old bones, it's not a problem for us to stand like this all the time, you come with me and sit in front of me and say, okay?"
Luo Bin was worried that there were no steps, and when he heard him say this, he took advantage of the situation to unload the abilities on his body, and the three of them came to a place similar to a tea break in the corner.
The two sat down on the sofa opposite each other, Wu Shuang poured a cup of tea for each of them, and stood behind Bai Hongyao.
Bai Hongyao took a few sips of tea, sorted out his thoughts, and told the things of the year.
Since more than 30 years ago, there have been occasional rumors of people with special functions in China, and some of them are very destructive. The leadership of Huaguo decided to secretly set up a planning bureau for the Inhumans to investigate, study and plan for the Inhumans.
The director of the Planning Bureau was concurrently served by the then director of the National Security Bureau, and there were three deputy directors, namely Song Tuan, the head of the base garrison, Li Xiongwen, a young doctor in physical chemistry and materials chemistry, and Bai Hongyao, a criminal investigation expert.
In order to carry out the work smoothly, a number of criminal investigators from various police stations were selected to form an investigation team, as well as a scientific research team composed of researchers from various disciplines.
However, after several years of secret visits and searches, it was discovered that those who claimed to possess special abilities often had no real abilities. And those who really have the ability are trying to hide their whereabouts. This has made the work of the Planning Bureau very difficult.
As the years passed, the planning bureau did not have access to real information, and disagreements began to arise among senior leaders about whether the planning bureau was necessary to exist.
The only thing that has supported the planning bureau for more than ten years is the new material found by the scientific research team in several craters, one is the material for making the Shenliu cover, and the other should not be called a material, but a kind of bug.
The insect can be guided by special signals to create microscopic instruments for humans, and can absorb weak heat energy and convert it into power. The Guanyin rune paper that Luo Bin hid on his body before used insect technology and had the functions of positioning and monitoring.
Seeing that Luo Bin didn't believe that a single symbol could be used as a monitoring device, Bai Hongyao cited the common E. coli on the earth as an example, E. coli as a single-celled organism, its flagella is only composed of just about 20 parts, but it can rotate back and forth at a speed of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, and the energy conversion rate has achieved 100%, which is far from what the current manpower can involve.
Although the Planning Bureau continued to hold on for a few years with the magic of the Shenliu Mask and the insects, everyone in the bureau began to feel emotional.
Just when everyone lost hope, the news of Luo Bin's mother came back from Lake City.
Bai Hongyao led a team to Hushi overnight to invite people, and one of the team members was Bai Hongyao's younger brother Bai Hongyuan.
Luo Bin's mother was originally very resistant, but only after the two brothers of the Bai family patted their chests and promised that they agreed to come to this secret base.
When Luo Bin's mother showed her abilities in public for the first time, the entire Planning Bureau was excited, and everyone in the bureau felt that more than ten years of hard work had not been in vain, and applauded.
After that, the bureau made a plan and arranged for Luo Bin's mother to enter the Shenliu Mask in the scientific research room every day to participate in an experiment to assist the scientific research team and explore the cause of the ability.
However, as time progressed, no progress was made in the research after several months, and some members who had been struggling for more than ten years began to lose patience.
Under the instruction of Li Xiongwen, the scientific research team began to conduct a 24-hour closed test on Luo Bin's mother in a glass cover.
Bai Hongyao protested many times, but was completely ignored by the scientific research team, and in order to prevent Luo Bin's mother from escaping, he never let her out.
Luo Bin's mother no longer cooperated, and the scientific research team used the Soul Stripping Instrument to stimulate her to release electricity.
After Bai Hongyao and the bureau leaders reacted, they learned that Li Xiongwen had already sent a letter to the upper leaders and obtained authorization on the premise of distorting the facts.
Under the dark base, Luo Bin's mother gradually began to have a mental breakdown, but Li Xiongwen still ignored it.
Bai Hongyao's younger brother Bai Hongyuan and Luo Bin's mother have always been very close, because Luo Bin's mother said that he looks very much like his own brother who is assigned to work in other places, and they have been together for a long time, and they are usually commensurate with each other as sisters and brothers.
Now that Bai Hongyuan saw that this sister was imprisoned all day long, and his spirit was broken, he often ran to Bai Hongyao to cry and beg, after all, it was the two brothers who patted their chests and vouched for it, so they brought their sister into the base.
But at present, Bai Hongyao has no control over the scientific research group at all, thinking that the original intention of the establishment of the Planning Bureau is to study anomalies, plan aliens, and unify scheduling in a public capacity. But now they have embarked on the path of depriving citizens of their freedom in life and disregarding the lives of others.
He worked hard and finally heard from the scientific research team about the characteristics of a Shenliu cover, the main characteristic of the Shenliu cover is that it is resistant to high temperatures, but it cannot resist low temperatures.
He told his brother the secret, and the two agreed to find an opportunity to rescue Luo Bin's mother together.
But that night, his younger brother drunk Bai Hongyao, stole his identification card, and slipped into the underground base.
He was observing the blind spot with low-temperature materials, and secretly froze and cracked the Shenliu cover.
The next day, there was an accident in the test of the scientific research group, Luo Bin's mother escaped, most of the scientific research team members were killed and injured, and after the head of the Song regiment shot Luo Bin's mother, he was also hit through the head by the high-voltage current, and he died on the spot.
The investigation team traced along the road and searched for Luo Bin's mother. But when I found out later, the person had died in Luo Jiawa's home.
The whole thing was too big, and a few days later, the upper-level leaders made instructions, the Yiren Planning Bureau was closed, the entire base was sealed, Li Xiongwen and a group of henchmen were expelled from public office, Bai Hongyuan was sentenced to life as the mastermind of the incident, and Bai Hongyao was removed from his post and placed on probation.
After Bai Hongyuan was imprisoned, his wife committed suicide due to depression, and his son changed from lively and cheerful to withdrawn and cold during the day, and grew up with his uncle Bai Hongyao since he was a child.
By coincidence, Bai Bai actually obtained the ability, and it was Bai Bai who was right with Luo Bin just now.
Three years ago, for some reason, the Planning Bureau was secretly restarted, but the work functions of the Planning Bureau were changed, and it did not do research, but only planned.
Gather all the people with extraordinary abilities for China and serve the country.
Bai Hongyao was retransferred back to the Planning Bureau, and currently can only serve as section chief, the other three staff members are Wu Shuang, Su Jie, and Bai Bai.
Because there is no manpower, it is impossible to conduct a large-scale investigation, and on the day Bai Hongyao arrived at the base, he still remembered the appearance of Luo Bin's mother.
Because he was not sure if the ability would be inherited, he only secretly observed Luo Bin, including controlling the perimeter of his residence, as well as the two yellow rune papers.
The purpose is just to confirm whether Luo Bin has inherited the ability.
And it was Li Xiongwen who imprisoned Luo Bin.
Since Li Xiongwen broke away from the system, he sold several patents for lithium batteries and obtained the first pot of gold.
After that, he established Shenguang Group, which started with new energy.
After more than ten years of development, the group's industries involve energy, real estate, Internet, biotechnology, etc.
Even though he is already rich and rivals the country, Li Xiongwen is still obsessed with the ability and is looking for it in private.
Bai Hongyao comforted Luo Bin and said that although Li Xiongwen is powerful and has a lot of connections in the political and business circles, as long as Luo Bin joins the Planning Bureau, it is also a kind of protection for Luo Bin, after all, Li Xiongwen, as a businessman, will not easily go against the will of the country.
