Chapter XXIV: The President's Ordeal

There was a round of applause in the auditorium of Congress. Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info Federal President Pan Dewen once again completed a touching speech.

Surrounded by secretaries, assistants and bodyguards, Pan Dewen walked to his office as he coped with the various people who came to pay his respects.

As soon as he walked into the office, the smile on Pan Dewen's face disappeared instantly. He took the water cup handed by the secretary and asked loudly: "Luo Ya hasn't come yet?"

The secretary was about to answer. The door of the office, which had not yet been closed, suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.

Pan Dewen turned around with a glass of water and looked: Luo Ya was standing at the door, knocking on the door.

Pan Dewen couldn't help but hum lightly, drinking water while beckoning to Luo Ya. After drinking a few sips of soda, Pan Dewen instructed the unrelated people in the room to wait out.

The door was closed, and only Pan Dewen and his henchmen were left in the office.

Pan Dewen took the lead and walked to the desk in the corner of the room, and asked as he walked, "Is it summed up?"

Luo Ya looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, teacher." It's our Bureau of Investigation that we take lightly......"

Pan Dewen sat on the computer chair and waved his hand impatiently: "This pot can't be carried by your investigation bureau alone." Did you send an alert document to the city government of Tongyang City? They didn't pay attention to it, and they have to bear a lot of responsibility. Let me know the specifics first!"

After speaking, Pan Dewen raised his hand and spread his palm towards Luo Ya.

Luo Ya hurriedly put the USB flash drive in his hand on Pan Dewen's palm, and by the way, opened the file in his hand and put it on the desktop so that Pan Dewen could read it.

Pan Dewen didn't look at the documents. While plugging in the USB flash drive, he urged: "You should report verbally first." ”

"Okay," Luo Ya nodded, straightened his chest and stomach, and narrated, "At three o'clock this afternoon, in the Huachi Square of Tongyang City, there are three directions, and there is a vision of distorted light at the same time. The vision attracted a large number of pedestrians to stop and watch, and it lasted about ten minutes. At three o'clock, in the center of the distorted light cluster, a human skeleton began to appear. ”

“…… There are more and more skeletons, causing panic in the crowd. Most fled in a hurry, and a few tried to resist. However, with no weapons at their disposal, the actions of the rebels had little effect. Instead, most of them were injured. ”

"There are more and more skeletons, almost entrenched in the entire flowerpond square. Fortunately, the police in Tongyang City are quite qualified. The officers who arrived first effectively restrained the skeleton's attention and did not let it spread to the surrounding neighborhood. The SWAT team that arrived later decisively used rocket launchers and other large firepower to quickly wipe out the invading enemy......"

"Quickly?" Pan Dewen stared at the surveillance video on the computer screen, with a mocking expression, "The whole encirclement and suppression took two hours. Can that be considered fast?"

Luo Ya explained with a little embarrassment: "Teacher, you can't be harsh on the security department of Tongyang City. After all, they are facing an enemy that has never existed before. Ordinary firearms are not easy to ......"

Pan Dewen waved his hand impatiently, and suddenly pointed to the screen and asked, "Who are they?"

Luo Ya stepped forward and leaned over to Pan Dewen's side to take a look. Pan Dewen is referring to Zhou Che and Lin Caiying and others.

In a situation where most people fled or watched and watched, Zhou Che and a few others took the initiative to fight against the skeletons. What is especially eye-catching is that Zhou Che and others are holding weapons. Although the weapons are just some crude metal clubs and fire axes.

Luo Ya explained: "According to the results of the interrogation of the Tongyang police. They're just tourists. Because I believe Du Shen's TV statement last night, carry a weapon just in case. ”

Pan Dewen frowned, and retreated from the video: "They seem to be organized? I remember, these people took weapons from the same travel bag." ”

"Yes," Luo Ya stared at the image on the screen, "They seem to be netizens, organizing this operation through the Internet." so that they can take care of each other. Our investigation team will verify this information. ”

Pan Dewen began to fast-forward the video. On the screen, you can still see the crowd fleeing or fighting. However, as the figures fled, the entire screen was soon reduced to skeletons that kept appearing and moving around.

Because of the monitor's poor resolution, Pan Dewen could not see the distorted ball of light mentioned in the report.

Pan Dewen closed the video screen and opened another video file: "Really didn't catch a live skeleton?"

Luo Ya smiled bitterly: "It seems that there really isn't." They shouldn't dare to hide it. ”

"Hmph......" Pan Dewen snorted coldly and quickly threw down the mouse. The rest of the videos have similar content, but the shooting angle is different.

Pan Dewen looked at his subordinate and student: "Is the identity of that Du Shen clear?"

Luo Ya became more and more bitter, and said stubbornly: "Teacher, that Du Shen may really be an alien." He seems to have come out of nowhere. We can't find any traces of his earlier activities. ”

"Ridiculous! Does he look like an alien?" Pan Dewen subconsciously retorted. However, facts speak louder than words. Pan Dewen turned his head to look at the frozen skeleton screen on the computer screen. He took a deep breath and could only accept this unbelievable conclusion for the time being.

Pan Dewen exhaled a long time: "Let's think that aliens may exist." The question is, is he really? How sure are you of the results of your Bureau's analysis?"

Luo Ya hesitated: "We are using the supercomputer of the Academy of Sciences to perform face recognition on some previous surveillance records. Although it will take at least half a month to complete the work. But we don't expect much from it. After a discussion with our think tank. The possibility that Du Shen is an alien is as high as 80%. ”

Pan Dewen became more and more gloomy. There was a sudden knock on the door. Pan Dewen reached out and gently pressed a pocket button on the table. The door to the office opened.

A capable middle-aged woman walked in, followed by the president's female secretary.

The middle-aged woman walked straight to the desk, holding two folder boards in her arms: "Your Excellency, the Internet is already boiling." The public asked you to hold a press conference to explain the details of the Huachi incident and the countermeasures. We believe that it is not appropriate to delay the matter any longer. ”

"In addition," the middle-aged woman handed the folder in her hand to the president, "Some lawmakers have jointly applied to you to urgently convene an extraordinary Congress." They ask you to give an explanation of the incident at the flower pond. ”

"Explain what," Pan Dewen was furious, barely controlling his emotions, "and I didn't do it. What can I explain? Explain a fart!"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Luo Ya glanced at the office door that had long been closed by the female secretary. He took the initiative to relieve his teacher: "According to the analysis of our investigation bureau. It is likely that Du Shen will reappear tonight and release new information. Before knowing what he was going to say. We recommend that His Excellency the President postpone the issuance of official circulars. lest we fall into some kind of passive embarrassment. ”

The middle-aged woman wanted to speak and stopped. She was silent for a moment, and finally said, "However, the situation in Tongyang City is still chaotic. And there is a tendency to spread to surrounding counties and cities. We recommend holding a launch event as early as possible. You don't need to be in person. Just let the people know that our government is doing it. Presumably, it will be able to reassure the people to a great extent. ”

Pan Dewen's heart moved, and he couldn't help but hesitate. He looked at his right-hand man, Luo Ya.

Luo Ya immediately shook his head and raised his hand to look at his watch: "It's time for the evening news." If you follow yesterday's precedent. In ten minutes, Du Shen should appear on TV. We might as well wait. It is also possible to let the public know in time about our efficient response. Of course, the press conference can be arranged first and the news can be released to the outside world. ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the president.

Pan Dewen couldn't help but nod heavily. He wants to be re-elected, and he can be a little slow to react to unexpected situations, but he must deal with it beautifully.

Pan Dewen assured the woman: "You go and set up the venue for the press conference first." For a maximum of an hour, I will personally report to our people. ”

The middle-aged woman nodded helplessly and left.

After the woman left, Pan Dewen motioned to his assistant to turn on the TV, and confirmed to Luo Ya: "This flower pond incident in Tongyang City. No one died, did they?"

"No," Luo Ya shook his head affirmatively, "although there are a few people, the injuries are very serious. But after rescue, they were all stabilized. We have mobilized the best doctors to ensure that it does not deteriorate. ”

Pan Dewen nodded, as if he had a conclusion.

Luo Ya pointed to the document on the desktop: "In our report, there are speculations from the think tank that Du Shen may have made. You can review it for reference. ”

Pan Dewen glanced at the news screen on the TV. He lowered his head and flipped through the papers on his desk.

Pan Dewen had just gone through two pages of the document when he heard a knock on the door again. He looked up at the assistant nearby: "You go out and make arrangements." Push things back a bit. As long as it's not, something as serious as the Flower Pond incident. Just don't bother me just yet. I had to figure it out first. What kind of problem is Du Shen going to have? ”

The assistant took the order and left. The only sound in the room was the sound of the news. Pan Dewen has not finished reading the document, and the manuscript has been completed. No matter what Du Shen asks for next, Pan Dewen has already set a tough tone.

The file is almost finished. The news in the room stopped suddenly. Pan Dewen heard Luo Ya's soft reminder, which contained relief and excitement: "Teacher, he really appeared again." The time is exactly the same. ”

Pan Dewen looked up, and sure enough, he saw the hateful figure on TV.

On TV, the background layout is still rudimentary. Du Shen stood in front of the slightly old boss's chair and faced the camera: "Ah! This time, it was with a television audience from all over the Federation. Maybe someone doesn't know me yet. Let me introduce again, my name is Du Shen. I'm not a dark blue star, you can think of me as an alien. Although I don't see it that way myself......"
