Chapter 51: One Step Away

Is a question without an answer? 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Things in the world are always relative, and when a question arises, there should be a corresponding answer, otherwise it is a pseudo-question. Chloe's logic of the reply told herself.

She didn't get the answer to the "crucial seven days" from Li Qi, and she also saw Li Qi's fleeting and extremely difficult to capture disappointment. When the other party learned that he could not answer the question either, his face showed a kind of depression that he called "one step away". It was the Spanish dance song of the same name that gave me the same feeling. No matter how hard you try, you are always one step away.

Li's eyes were still as sharp as a man's, and even so, Chloe could see her thoughts, and she definitely wanted to do something for her. Otherwise, why would she stay with her for so long.

Although she is confident in her reasoning, Chloe also has moments of weakness. Perhaps in her previous career as a journalist, she liked to speculate on the relationships between the people involved in the news and the secrets behind them, and then enjoy the pleasure of having her judgment confirmed. But since she was attacked, she could no longer reason and think easily. Chloe was all she could think about and what was going on with him, and if she guessed wrong, she would be disappointed, as if she had failed an exam.

The sound of the rain is still crackling, and the heavy rain has no intention of abating, and it is estimated that the store manager Wan will not choose to pick him up today to take him back to Kuching. But if you really come, you will be gone? Could it be that Osaka is the final destination, and I just stupidly made a big detour.

If that were the case, Chloe would blame herself for a long time. Her fear was not that she was wrong in her calculations, but that the longer she was away from Meng, the harder it would be for her to get the right direction. She was afraid that she would never see him again. This feeling is very strange, although the newspaper is always persuading Chloe to go back, but if he really wants to go back, he will live in a different way, which is not himself at all, and what is the difference between death and death.

She looked at Li Qi, could it be that the Shangtang base that she had finally discovered was just to tell the story of Meng Zhu and another girl.

"Why are you here?" asked the question, and her tone was like everyday small talk.

"I want to find a way to cure the blow." She sighed, "Speaking of which, it was after the Tronpu incident, and he fainted next to the Hundred Day Oni, and then he was in a comatose state ever since. The doctors concluded that his unconsciousness was not due to pathology, and that nothing could be found. When I came to Maemei, he didn't recognize me at all and was unconscious. All I know is that he fainted in the cockpit of the Centoulian, which was provided by Hinti, but the technology and production came from Shishi. I would like to follow this line and find the earliest record of this system, which should record the cause and treatment of this lethargy disorder. ”

"You're not the last person to see him," Li Qi suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Nope. I was in the new eastern capital. I rushed over as soon as I learned about it. Speaking of this, Chloe suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort. However, she also noticed a subtle change in Li's face. Chloe was silent for a while, trying to stabilize her emotions and think rationally, and after a while she whispered, "I've only fallen one step, and that's it." I didn't expect to be able to catch up anymore. ”

"Actually, you're never far away, aren't you, the distance isn't getting bigger."

"Hmm. I was lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up here. ”

"What kind of luck" Li asked with a rare smile on her face.

Chloe thought she was smiling a little strangely: "It's nothing. I didn't get any clues at the headquarters of the former Midea Shishi Company, but it is conceivable that it has long been emptied. Data and data are either burned or deleted, and even servers are destroyed, and only simple enterprise transaction functions are still in service. Of course, they are not going to completely blow up the headquarters with bombs, and I think Shishi feels that the matter has not reached the last step of breaking the kettle, so it just wants to completely cut off all the clues from the company's headquarters, so that people can't continue to follow this road. So when I went in as a member of the media, they didn't stop me, public databases and government projects were still open, and even the corporate mailboxes used to deal with the investigation team were accessible. They prevented the expeditionary force from shifting all the blame, so they simply made all the unimportant things public. ”

Chloe thought for a moment, "In retrospect, it's still incredible. I saw the monthly summary of the old headquarters in the work bulletin of Shishi's subordinate enterprises, which contained research on lethargy symptoms and clinical treatment trials caused by the whooping ghost system. It's hard to find out, and the headquarters server deletes emails on a regular basis, basically one by one. I tried to keep a few letters, but they all failed. What's even stranger is that each email actually has no content, like an automatic transmitter. I think even Shishi itself thinks that the auto-reply confirmation function of these emails is a history is wrong. ”

She looked at Li Qi, "Later, I inquired for a long time and found out that the old headquarters was actually on the other side of the world, Borish. ”

"Sounds incredible, are those emails really sent from here, which means that there is a computer problem in this base," Li Qi's tone was quite strange.

"I don't think so. I remember when I first arrived, the base was completely unpowered. Chloe also began to stare directly at Li Qi with special eyes, "You, in fact, have been eyeing me for a long time. ”

"Hmm. All the information about the attack, I got from your reports. ”

"You know the illness of the former beauty, the sleeping sickness."

"Yes."

"You're also very sensitive to dates. You know all the days when I went from the new eastern capital to the former beauty. ”

"Totally knowing, and it's not that hard."

"It's not fair that you've been staring at me for a long time, I only looked through your diary yesterday." Chloe said that she slipped her mouth, and suddenly felt embarrassed, so she stuck out her tongue slightly.

"Don't take that diary to heart. What you see is Qiao Hongyu's scribbled journalbook. The front part of the company is going to be archived, so I tore some of it. ”

"Don't digress the conversation, Lichen." Chloe sat up straight, like an angry little wildcat, "You sent those emails. ”

"Yes. I'm glad you guessed, so I don't need to say it. ”

"Moreover, you specially sent it according to the date of my visit to the company, just so that I could see it, and lead me to Borry."

"That's right."

"Why are you teasing me, if you give me a call and invite me to come, I will"

"What will you do," Li interrupted her, standing up and sitting down next to Chloe, "You yourself know that there are a lot of people staring at you. If I call you directly, you're not alone. Also, it's hard for me to trust me with a short phone call. ”

"Well, then," Chloe puffed and blew the blonde hair on her forehead, "you must have something to ask me, I already saw it." ”

"You've always been right. I have to admit that it's a good feeling to always be guessed right. Li stood up, "Come on, it's time to show you something like this." ”

"What's that?" Chloe stood up after her.

"Blindfolded."

"What do you say, he's here, or do you have something called a slam."

"Nope. Maybe it's just a code name. However, it can also be said. ”

For the first time, Chloe heard that Lichen would give an ambiguous answer. You know, her words have always been cold and concise. She still remembers that when they first met, Li Qian only said yes or no to herself, as if interrogating her. But now she answered in this way, which was so strange.

"You once asked me why I stayed at the Shangtang base. It may seem strange to say that I was here to complete a task, and this task was not given to me by the company, but was attacked. Liqi took Chloe to the door, waited for her to change her shoes, and handed her the blanket, "It's cold in a while, you have to wrap yourself up." ”

Chloe got dressed and followed her towards the underground hangar. After listening to her finish telling Qiao Hongyu's story, Chloe paid special attention to the cave space, and sure enough, the underground lighting system and drainage lines were relaid, and the inner wall could still see traces of being damaged by the centuans when they were activated.

"The Whoopers were activated in the hangar, and the wake was channeled into this passage, destroying all the facilities." Li Qi continued, "At that time, Meng Ji found that there was still a MiG-144 in the hangar, and immediately wanted to activate it to pursue the Hundred Day Ghost. But you know, Mengbang is just a little, rough in his actions, but he is a very delicate person in his mind. Before the MiG-144 finished preparing for takeoff, he told me one thing, that is, I was asked to find a way to fix the Hundred Days in the base. ”

"Fixed Whoopers"

"Yes, secure it within the network. The function of the whooping ghost is realized by the network, and it will also move within the network. Once the escaped Whooping Ghost leaves the fighter it is attached to, the remaining body is just an ordinary J-20 prototype. ”

"How to fix it."

"That's what I sent you in an email that I deleted. You know, the technology that Qiao Hongyu developed in the company is to ensure that the driver will not get lost when using the whooping ghost, but once lost, how to treat it, Shishi Company has launched another treatment recovery project with this as the core, that is, to restore the consciousness of the lost. Meng Ji saw this set of equipment in the underground hangar, and he told me that this set of equipment was actually transported from the Qingshui i4 base in the Central Continent, and it was not used to fix the soul of the lost or treat the sleeping sickness of the Hundred Days, but was actually used to locate and track the Hundred Days. As long as the 100-day ghost is accurately located, its stream of consciousness, no, and characteristic data can be fixed. ”

Liqi led Chloe deeper into the tunnel, and the air suddenly turned cold, and Chloe couldn't help but tighten the blanket.

"He estimated that the pursuit might fail, so he asked me to fix the data stream of the Centuatrins in the base, at least lock it in the network." Li Qian sighed, "It's a pity that he never came back to see me." I've been doing this task to this day. ”

Chloe followed a few steps, next to her, "Are you locked?"

"Sometimes I can, but I'm not very stable, or I'm not sure." Li replied, "On the same day that you reported that Meng Zhu had fallen into sleeping sickness, my targets became two. ”

"Two"

"Yes. I believe one of them is a whooping ghost and the other is a striking. ”
