The night is as thick as ink, and the moon is lazy behind the clouds. At three o'clock in the morning, the street lamps and the buildings beside the street shimmered brightly, but they could not penetrate the night, and the air seemed to turn into a liquid, soaking all the light.

It was supposed to be a noisy summer night, but it was as quiet as a vacuum, and the hideous reinforced concrete drove away almost all animals in the area except humans. The CBD at night and the day are like two worlds, unloading the hustle and bustle of the façade, just like an old city.

"I'm going to fall asleep in a few moments. It was a somewhat sleepy voice, whispering.

"Shut up Li Dongming!" a similarly lowered female voice responded, "This is our first mission, be serious, although it's only level 5, but I don't want to mess up, whether I can pass the probationary period depends on this time." ”

"I don't think there's going to be anyone, we've been lying around since nine o'clock, and if we were going to show up, we would have been there a long time ago. The boy looked lazy, "I just suspect that it's him, and the information from the Ministry of Information has no basis, so he sent us out casually, it's just playing with us."

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound accompanied by a small flame sounded, and the boy known as Li Dongming lit a cigarette. The lighter lit up the surroundings slightly, and two men dressed in black huddled between a pile of steel.

It was a steel-framed bridge, and under the bridge was a vast river, and there was no wind tonight, and the water flowed very slowly, only when it was blocked by the piers, it stirred up a little wave with a gentle whirlpool. The flames went out, and the surroundings became silent again, except for the red dots of smoke that shimmered.

Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Li Dongming took a deep puff of cigarette and spit it in the air, "Jiani, aren't you tired, you've been lying on your stomach for six hours." ”

Wen Jiani pursed her lips and sighed. It was a little difficult to move her body, and holding the same movement for a long time almost made her limbs rust. The bones made a few tooth-aching sounds, Wen Jiani rubbed her shoulders vigorously, and looked at Li Dongming, who was sobbing vigorously on the side, frowning.

"Do you look like you're an exposed target? You've learned all your invisibility lessons, and if the target finds out about you, we'll both be busy tonight. ”

"Come on, my training class score is higher than yours. Moreover, I feel that this mission was originally a waste of work. Li Dongming turned over and lay down, the small place under the bridge deck did not give the two black-clothed people much room to move, and even sat up and touched their heads.

"You're just lucky, my score in the regular assessment will definitely surpass yours. ”

Li Dongming cut off and did not continue on this topic, "I feel that this mission is full of water, do you remember how the goal is described in our mission book?"

"Of course, remember, make sure you understand and memorize every word in the task book, and you may be able to save your life when it counts. Wen Jiani adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable. "This was the focus of our first session when we went into the probationary training period, and I was serious about it. ”

Wen Jiani and Li Dongming entered the investigation department together three months ago, and their superiors were very strict with them, saying that it was a probationary period, but in fact it was a training period. They have to take a variety of classes every day, including martial arts, stealth, disguise, and even linguistics and psychology. Their supervisors, or instructors are more suitable, often tell them that they need to be trained as "MRCVs" who can become the most needed personas in the shortest possible time.

There are ten people in the same batch, and the two of them are the best among them, and they are specially approved by the supervisor to carry out the regular assessment task and enter the early regular conversion procedure, which is the task that the two people who are currently working hard.

Two days ago, they received a letter of assignment asking the two to investigate a target codenamed 160518β. In the code, 16 is the year, 05 is the month, and 18 is the first target in the month. As for β, it means that the danger of this target is extremely low, and it can even be said that there is almost no threat. The company has divided the target into ten levels, corresponding to the first ten letters of Greece, with the lowest α indicating that the target is an adult man of normal physical strength, while the β might be called an athlete.

According to the description in the mission book, there were three reports of children disappearing in the city this month, and after calling up the surveillance, the police did not find any clues, because in the three cases, parents were busy with things in their hands and did not keep looking at their children, and the children seemed to have found something interesting, trembling into the dead corner of the camera, and never came out.

Too little information was left for the police, and as time went on, desperate parents asked for help online. But the child was not found, and he was attacked by keyboard warriors from all over the world, and netizens from all walks of life pressed the keyboard and mouse as fiercely as playing the piano, and it was their responsibility to blame these parents for not taking care of their children, and some people even said that these parents were acting.

The company's information department found clues after comparing all the surveillance videos at the scene of the incident, although none of the cameras were scheduled to see the crime. But the company is a strategic partner with a fast-growing Vision company in China, and has the right to use that company's Skynet system, and after comparing the facial information of pedestrians in the past six hours, the people in the information department found that one person had appeared in the surveillance every time.

It seems a bit too coincidental that the three scene of the incident correspond to three districts, and one of them even needs to cross the river and be almost close to the bay airport.

After comparing it with the database, the person's information was found and a thick pile was printed. When they got the information, Wen Jiani and Li Dongming had the heart to cry.

Nibbling on hot dog instant noodles, the two of them fought until dawn, piecing together the information summarized by each other, and restored the "suspect" to a large extent. According to the file, this is a boy who dropped out of school, named Jiang Zhishan, three years ago after being expelled from school for grabbing money to go online, he went to work as a part-time worker in a fast food restaurant, and there was no record of violations of law and discipline in the past three years, and there was even a righteous and courageous act: in 15 years, a woman who forcibly grabbed the subway door and waited for her husband to stop the entire subway was kicked out of the carriage.

Other than that, normal can't be normal anymore. He doesn't have a girlfriend, looks mediocre, smokes but doesn't gamble, and occasionally climbs the wall to play some action movies is probably the only thing he does that doesn't conform to his core values.

And this mission, the information found by the other commissioners after infiltrating their rental house, a note pressed on the table with the address and time, the address is under this bridge, and the time is tonight. Other than that, there was nothing special about it, except for the used rolls in the paper basket, everything else was cleaned. The room looked like it hadn't been occupied for a while, and the news provided by the fast food restaurant was that Jiang Zhishan had left his job half a month ago.

This is a common man, and the reason why the Ministry of Information designated him as a β is that he loves parkour and has the ability to keep his head on his head with an empty hand. But these skills are no different from α for Wen Jiani and Li Dongming, who have been baptized by the head of the investigation department and have become top soldiers.

"Do you think this person is a perpetrator?" Li Dongming lit another cigarette and played with the lighter in his hand boredly.

"I don't know, that's why we're here to investigate," Wen Jiani frowned and fanned the smoke wafting to her face with her hand.

"Although there doesn't seem to be anything particularly suspicious about this person, but the sudden disappearance after the crime, and the 'clever' search for address information after the house is raided, it is like a bridge in some detective anime. Li Dongming looked at the photo in his hand with the faint light of the cigarette butt, it was a one-inch photo, taken by Jiang Zhishan when he was applying for a second-generation ID card, a face that was so ordinary that you couldn't remember it at all after seeing it.

"You talk too much nonsense, this is a regular task, maybe it was forged by the company to test the two of us, and maybe the supervisor is hiding somewhere to watch you smoke!" Wen Jiani reached out to grab Li Dongming's cigarette, but accidentally touched his lighter.

Watching his beloved lighter fly down, Li Dongming was about to cry in despair, it was his most beloved Cartier lighter!

Just as he was about to scream, a hand suddenly covered his mouth, so that he could not scream, this hand was soft but cold, and even a little trembling.

Li Dongming wanted to push his hand away, although Wen Jiani was very beautiful, he was also a little hazy to her, when this kind of lonely man and widow wanted to live together, Wen Jiani suddenly pounced on him and made him squirm, but it was given by his first love, this is the only one in the world! Li Dongming, who reacted, struggled to jump down, he felt that he could still rescue it, maybe he could catch it before the lighter sank to the bottom of the river.

Wen Jiani turned her head slowly, Li Dongming was stunned, he saw that her eyes were full of fear at this time, not only her hands, but her whole body was trembling violently. Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Dongming couldn't help but chuckle in his heart and threw out a puzzled look.

Wen Jiani pointed lightly to the bottom, and Li Dongming poked his head out and looked down.

At this time, the moon didn't know if it had rested enough, and suddenly jumped out from behind the clouds. The moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, and was broken into thousands of bright spots by the delicate river flow, and Li Dongming, who had been in the dark, was a little unable to see clearly for a while.

Among the countless bright spots, there seemed to be a fiery red glow, which should have been his lighter. Cartier perfectly illustrates the concept of windproof, falling from this height onto the pier and still burning silently.

No!

It's not just one red light, it's two! No, it's three!

His eyes slowly adjusted to the scattered moonlight, and Li Dongming's cold sweat flowed down. I don't know when I stood quietly under the bridge. His lighter had not fallen on the pier, but was held in the man's hand and looked at it. Those two bright red lights were exactly this man's eyes.

It's just that a person with such eyes can still be called a human?

Li Dongming felt that he was cramping all over his body, and he didn't know if he should retract his head. I thought to myself, big brother, let's go, the two of us went to the wrong set, you can do whatever you want, can't we do it if we don't turn positive.

When Li Dongming kept trembling, the people under the bridge didn't seem to notice their existence. He extinguished the lighter and threw it into the river. Then he looked up at the moon and did not move for a long time.

Tonight was a full moon, and it had been obscured by clouds before, but now that it appeared, even the thick night was a little brighter.

"This old man seems to be sleepwalking, he didn't see the two of us, let's slip away. Li Dongming retracted into the dark corner with difficulty to control his stiff limbs, and when he saw that Wen Jiani ignored him, he reached out and touched it, but he didn't expect to catch it.

Wen Jiani was lying on the ground at the moment, holding a Five-seveN pistol tightly in her hand, firmly aimed at the people below. In normal times, Li Dongming would definitely think that she was handsome, but at a glance, he saw that Wen Jiani's hand holding the gun was also trembling, and her fingers even turned pale because she was too hard.

Li Dongming wanted to cry again, is this woman going to kill ghosts? He pulled Ravenjani's arm, "Run away, big sister." ”

"I can't run away, he just saw me. Wen Jiani squeezed a few words out between her teeth, obviously trying to restrain herself from being completely consumed by fear.

As if to prove her words, the man under the bridge stopped looking at the moon, and he slowly raised his head. The two blood-red eyes shone brightly, as if flames were dancing in their sockets.

Li Dongming felt that he was frozen, and the only reason left told him that at this moment, he should immediately escape with Wen Jiani and then call the instructor for help, even if he woke up the sleeping instructor, he might turn into a ghost. But his mind could no longer control his limbs, and he watched as the man looked up and made eye contact with him.

What kind of eyes were they, the whites of the eyes had become blood-red, and the pupils were fiery red. Looking at these eyes, Li Dongming felt that his body was becoming hot and about to turn into ashes.

Bang bang bang!

Ten gunshots exploded in her ears in a row, and Wen Jiani on the side actually dumped the magazine at this critical time. Her marksmanship is very good, and when she was shooting, Wen Jiani once created a 50-meter moving target with ten shots, which made Li Dongming embarrassed. But now she didn't aim, she didn't know if the 5.7 bullet could destroy this thing that I don't know if it was a god or a demon, she could only pull the trigger as fast as she could, so that the bullet in the magazine enveloped the person like a barrage.

Poof! It's the sound of muscles being torn, and she's hit!

Before Li Dongming went over to hug Wen Jiani, he saw that a staggered person who was hit by a bullet slowly stood up straight, showing a weird smile, I don't know if it was disdainful.

Then, he slowly raised his feet, and Li Dongming realized that this person had been standing on the water all along! There was nothing under his feet, and he was standing on the water like that. What's even more terrifying is that after he lifted his feet, it was like climbing the stairs, stepping on the air and walking up step by step, his blood-red eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he was about to pierce the sky.
