Chapter Forty-Six: The Harmful Machine

"I really don't know what this plan is all about, only that it was made by federal law enforcement agencies...... and they don't know what method was used to exempt me from prosecution!"

"Federal?"

"The government of country M!"

"So we're in country M?"

"Utah, to be exact!"

"There is a price to be paid for killing, and it is only because you want to escape that we are guilty of following you!" Barney couldn't contain his anger, broke free from Pang Jindong's block, and rushed towards Hauge.

Dr. Hauge quickly ran to a desk, opened a drawer, pulled out a gun, pointed it at Barney, and said coldly, "Fortunately, I was prepared!"

"Doctor Hauge, you've hurt enough people, I hope you stop here!" Pang Jindong said calmly.

"Shut up! You're not qualified to lecture me! I'm here to help people, it's my superiors who won't give me a chance!" said Dr. Hauge through gritted teeth, his gun hand trembling slightly. "Your affairs have nothing to do with me, you should ask yourself, what kind of things have you done to get yourself to where you are today!"

"We'll have to wait until you help us recover our memories!" Barney walked slowly toward Dr. Hauge's gun.

"Stop! I warn you, I'm going to shoot!" Dr. Hauge pointed his gun at Barney.

Dr. Hauge has been focusing on Pang Jindong and Barney, ignoring Meryl. At this moment, Meryl quietly walked behind him and grabbed him.

Seeing this, Barney immediately rushed over and slashed his palm on Dr. Hauge's arm, and the gun fell to the ground.

Pang Jindong walked over and picked up the gun, put it on Dr. Hauge's head, and asked coldly, "Can our memories be restored?"

Dr. Hauge, who had lost his weapon, was like a deflated ball. Meryl let go of her hand and let Dr. Hauge sit limply on the floor. After being stunned for a long time, Dr. Hauge replied: "The effect of this machine on clearing memories is not very stable, and many people's memories will recover on their own after a period of time, especially those with strong wills. ”

"I'm asking you if there's any other way to recover your memories!"

"I've found that when people are in a near-death state, the sensitivity of the various sensory organs is strengthened, and the potential of the body is stimulated. I invented a drug that can put people in a state of suspended animation, with the exact same physiological characteristics as death, but without life-threatening conditions. After taking the medicine, you will wake up naturally after a while, and your memory will be restored!"

"Do you want to sue me that you don't have this medicine on you now?"

"Yes!"

"How can I get out of here?"

"I really don't know! God testifies, I tell you everything I know!"

"Have they been spying on us?"

"Yes, they can see what we're doing, but they can't hear us!"

"That means they won't hear the gunshots! That's great!" Pang Jindong said, turning on the gun's safety.

"Don't kill me!" Dr. Hauge looked at Pang Jindong in horror and pleaded.

"Are you really going to kill him?" Barney asked.

"Everyone has to pay for what they've done, and I think Dr. Hauge is no exception. ”

"But we may have to rely on him to get out of here!" Meryl said.

"I believe he doesn't have this ability! In fact, he, like us, is just a pawn in the whole thing!" Pang Jindong said, pulling the trigger.

With a dull gunshot, Dr. Hauge's body lay limply on the ground, blood gushing out from the hole in his head.

Pang Jindong wiped the muzzle of the gun on Dr. Hauge's body, and then scanned all corners of the room, but found no surveillance equipment. Pang Jindong took the gun, slowly raised his hands, and said: "See, your people have been killed by me! Next, I will find your location and kill you all one by one!" Pang Jindong sneered and continued: "I'm sorry, I forgot, you can't hear what I'm saying!"

"He's our only hope of getting out!" Barney said with regret. Although he complained about Pang Jindong's killing of Dr. Hauge, he did not directly express his dissatisfaction.

Pang Jindong said: "Doctor Hauge is useless, otherwise his master would not betray him!"

"Dr. Hauge was betrayed by his own men?" Meryl asked curiously.

"Of course, how could the real Kane Patrick's body be pressed under his own identification? I believe it was all deliberately arranged!"

"So, the person who is manipulating this qiē thing wants us to get out?"

"We may be of some kind of use to them, or we may want to test us with these things!"

Barney asked, "What kind of use will we have?"

Pang Jindong did not answer Barney's question, but continued: "When I put the gun to Dr. Hauge's head, he should have already told everything he knew, and if he could take us out, he would have done so a long time ago! Even if he is still useful, it is for his master! We can't keep a spy by our side, and the ghost knows what he will do next!"

Meryl looked at Pang Jindong and Barney, and asked thoughtfully, "What if we still have spies among them?"

Pang Jindong waved the gun in his hand and replied, "As long as there is this thing, even if you two are spies, I don't care!"

Under normal circumstances, although Dr. Hauge is a spy, Pang Jindong's execution of him will still cause everyone's criticism. The current situation is that everyone has killed a companion in order to survive, so no one has said anything to Pang Jindong anymore.

Meryl looked at Kane's body and turned out of the room, Pang Jindong and Barney following behind. The only three remaining men continued down the corridor.

Pang Jindong had just walked a few steps when he suddenly noticed that a floor tile under his feet sank slightly.

"Not good!" Pang Jindong immediately grabbed Barney and wanted to stop Meryl at the same time, but it was too late.

From the walls on both sides of the hallway, a number of huge gears suddenly appeared, and these gears spun at high speed, making a "buzzing" sound. Meryl, who was in the middle of the moment, didn't even have time to let out a scream, and was instantly cut into pieces. The nearest gear was no more than ten centimeters away from Pang Jindong and Barney, and the two of them could even feel the chill emanating from it. The splattered blood spilled all over the two people's predecessors.

Pang Jindong and Barney watched this qiē, but they were not able to do anything. It wasn't until the gears were retracted into the wall that the two of them sat down limply on the ground.

"It's just the two of us......" Barney said stupidly after a long time.

"You're not too timid to go out, are you?"

"But there's a mechanism ahead!"

Pang Jindong looked at the floor tile he stepped on just now, stepped on it again, and the violent "buzzing" sound sounded again, and those gears came out of the wall again, but this time there were no victims.

"This floor tile should be the trigger point, I don't know if there are others!" Pang said.

"What are we going to do?"

"Come back with me!"

Pang Jindong took Barney back to the room just now and pushed out two desks from inside. Pang Jindong paid attention to bypassing the contact, and then carefully pushed the desk forward. When he walked to the place where Meryl was killed, Pang Jindong immediately stopped, but the gears did not appear. After observing for a while and making sure that there was nothing unusual, Pang Jindong pushed the desk and continued to move forward, while Barney followed closely behind.

Perhaps psychologically, when the table legs rubbed against the ground sprinkled with Meryl's blood, it made a strange sound that echoed through the empty hallway, making people shudder.

Luckily, the agency didn't reappear, and the journey wasn't long, and the two of them walked for a while before they found that the hallway had come to an end.

A ladder stands at the end of the hallway, indicating that it has access to the outside world, but the top of the ladder is tightly covered.

The two men threw away the table and walked under the ladder. Barney was about to climb up the ladder, but was pulled by Pang Jindong.

"What are you doing?" Barney looked at Pang Jindong in confusion.

"You can't get out!" Pang Jindong finished speaking, snorting at a white metal box at the foot of the ladder.

Barney focused all his attention on the ladder, and the hallway was dimly lit, not noticing the storage of the box. However, Pang Jindong was based on his instinct of vocational training, so he paid great attention to the surrounding environment and discovered it from the beginning.

This box is exactly the same as the one where the antidote was stored before, Pang Jindong looked at it carefully, and said, "I hope it's empty!" As he spoke, Pang Jindong glanced around vigilantly.

"Hope it's empty?" Barney asked curiously.

"Yes, because I don't want to make any more choices!"

At this moment, the voice sounded again: "Welcome to the last leg of the journey!"

"Jerry, he's not really going to let us kill each other again, is he?" Barney said without worry. Although he tried his best to make himself look relaxed, his eyes were involuntarily staring at the gun in Pang Jindong's hand.

"It looks like it's going to end!" Pang Jindong replied noncommittally.
