15. Chapter 15: The Trap
Miniature camera and miniature pin emitter.
I've been exposed to these horrible things, where tiny cameras can monitor all directions, and when an enemy appears, the tiny needle emitter next to it will shoot out several thin needles like cow's hair, or puncture a car tire, or pierce a human skin to paralyze nerves...... In short, this is a very dangerous offensive and defensive instrument. Judging by the number of lights, you can imagine how many horrible things are buried here, and it seems that if I were to escape, I would either have to find another way or break them.
After about half an hour's drive, we reached the top of the hill, where a building was presented in front of me in an extremely grand form.
It is like a huge meteorite, announcing to the sky its power to break into the atmosphere and occupy a corner of the land, the huge building covers an area of about 600 meters, the overall structure is similar to an ellipsoid, and the words "Leysin Institute of Science and Technology" carved on the wall are like the devil's eye hidden in the meteorite, emitting a cold red light.
The troop carrier went around the underground garage at the bottom right of the base, the driver picked up the work sign and swiped it on the sensor, the alloy gate opened bulkily upwards, the vehicle drove into the garage, and the multi-dimensional scanner scanned the vehicle in all aspects, emitting a cold artificial electronic sound.
"Vehicle model 1A4K, three personnel, Oridesiva, Kleidoger ......"
My heart pounded as I was about to pronounce "my" name, and last night I manipulated the chip on Jeff's ID tag, which made the scanner mistakenly think I was Jeff and display Jeff's identity on the central surveillance system.
Of course, if the instrument does the facial recognition scan directly, I will still be exposed, but I suspect that facial recognition scanning is too expensive to be used confidentially and not in such places.
As it turned out, my conjecture was correct.
ββ¦β¦ Jeff Roth, Identity Confirmed. β
After the sound of machinery, the vehicle arrives at the conveyor elevator above, as if riding a stage lift, and we get out of the car and enter the elevator, where the troop carrier is transported to the ground floor by a three-dimensional conveyor to be parked. I glanced down to the various types of armed vehicles parked, including armoured transports, of course, which would be my go-to assistant if I were to escape.
Out of the elevator, there was a passage made of silver alloy plates, fifty meters long, and as soon as I walked through this passage, I could actually enter this mysterious organization called "LS" for short.
I felt nervous like never before, yes, hope was right in front of me, but I was in a terrible mood, and I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart that this was a way to the cage.
I frowned, I swear that everything from the change of identity to the time I entered here was carefully planned, and nothing should have gone wrong, and the fact that my close companions had not seen anything unusual so far was enough to confirm the perfection of my plan.
However, my identity was revealed.
The moment we stepped out of the passage, there was a slamming sound of the door closing behind us, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at us.
We're surrounded.
Two rows of soldiers neatly circled around us, both holding a long-range electric in their hands. Hit. Gun. I believe that if I take a single step, the excess current will definitely limit my movement.
"Ai God, this ...... What's going on! "My" companion Aurido shouted in surprise and consciously joined the driver and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
I didn't move. A disgusting face came into view.
Chelson.
As if he had won a contest, his face was full of pride and disdain, and he walked up to me with his hands outstretched: "Sals Eddie, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Listening to his tone, it seems that he knew my existence from the beginning?
"Sa...... Sals? Aurido looked over with a surprised expression, "You're not Jeff?" β
"You idiot, of course he's not." A flash of golden lightning shot at me from Chelson's fingertips at such an astonishing speed that my helmet was unfortunately knocked off, even though I avoided it at the first attempt.
"Oh my God! Who are you? Aurido pointed at me in surprise, but his words were rudely interrupted by Chelson.
"Idiot! Stop your pointless nonsense," Chelson turned to me after Auridoser shrank his head and didn't dare to speak, "You look confused, for Ai God's sake, let me tell you, we've been watching you for a long time, from ......" he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled as if he was in control of the fate of his prey, "at first. β
In the beginning? I frowned, a wake-up call ringing in my heart. I quickly stripped the strings together of recent events, from escaping smoothly to entering the organization safely, seemingly planning my plan, but there was a lot of irrationality at every turn, such as ......
"For example, why can you, an ordinary anomaly, easily kill four sharp-armored soldiers with high-tech armor and weapons, hmph, although I don't want to be sure of those mongrels, but the strength of the mongrels is quite powerful, do you think you can fight them with your little cleverness? You are so naΓ―ve! β
"It's unbelievable, it turns out that I'm standing here, it's all carefully designed by you. It's no wonder we can get into the grid and not get out. "I was a little surprised when I first heard Chelson's words, but I had already guessed that things would not be so simple and smooth, and I quickly regained my composure. If it were someone else, I would have asked him what he wanted to do, but I stared into his eyes and asked, word by word, "How do you know about me?" β
"I want to mention a person's name and you'll understand. Oh, let me think about it, what's her name," Chelson propped up his chin and looked as if he was distressed by the man's name, but a deliberate and dismissive smile came out of his eyes, "Rei...... Rebey? No, no, no, oh, Retana. β
When this familiar name sounded, my heart beat quickly as if I had been electrocuted. My mother...... My mother, who has been separated from me for 20 years, was mentioned again, and it was in someone else's dirty mouth! Although I had already guessed that my mother's departure had something to do with this organization, I still couldn't believe it when I heard it from Chelson's mouth.
"Renata." I clenched my fist so hard that if it weren't for the fact that I was not right now, I would have left a deep fist mark on the face of the guy who called my mother's name in an insulting tone.
"Yes, Retana, oh no, Renata, your mother." Chelson's smile was even more triumphant, "She often mentions you." You know, in order for you to ...... What did you say? Chelson stopped suddenly, furrowed his brows and touched the small communicator in his ear, and whispered to the other party, "Hell, why...... Damn, listen to you for now, there's no next time for this kind of thing," Chelson bit his lip with a look of dissatisfaction, lowered his hand, looked at me, and showed a malicious smile, "Continuing what we just said, where did I go, oh, I mean, did we spend a lot of time and energy to reunite your mother and son?" Thankfully, we finally found you. β
Mother and child reunion? I didn't pay attention to Chelson's conversation with the others, my fingers trembled irresistibly, and my voice trembled a little: "You mean, my mother is here?" β
Chelson paused for a few seconds and sneered exaggeratedly, "Of course, she's here." β
No, he's lying, Sals, look at his flickering gaze and that weird communication, he's lying to you with someone else, don't trust him.
But what if it's true? If my mother is really here, I will be able to see my mother, whom I haven't seen for 20 years, and we will be reunited.
Sals, don't believe him.
No, maybe you should believe him, your mother is here.
No! I snapped my eyes wide and stared at Cherson's eyes, and now, my brain was going to explode, making a noisy protest noise, and I couldn't make a choice at all, I just wanted to know now, "What do you want from me?"
"I need you...... I mean that you mother and son work with us to complete our final reality. Of course, in return, I'll let you meet with Retana, oh no, look I always forget jì, I mean Ms. Renata. Your mother as a ...... Oh, great biologist, she has created many miracles, and now we need you and your mother to create even greater miracles......"
Chelson was still tempting me with words full of vision, and if it had been before, I would have excitedly agreed to his request, but after the Ed incident, I have become much calmer.
Chelson's expression looked like he was patiently talking about something disgusting, hideous and ugly, and his tone was full of disdain and contempt, and even the words of praise were quite forced. A man who doesn't even remember my mother's name, I swear he won't have any good intentions. Pity my mother, she must have suffered a lot over the years, and I, an unfilial son, can't help anything.
I took a deep breath and let go of my five senses as much as possible, unbeknownst to outsiders, I had a telepathy with my mother that I could not express in words, and when she was near me, I could sense her existence, and it was with this telepathy that we used to successfully avoid a tragedy in which I was abducted by human traffickers one day in the past.
My brain quickly fed back to me a sensory message: there was no mother's memory here, and Cherson was lying.
I tensed my nerves, a small cluster of fire lit up in my palm, and stared coldly at Chelson's face: "What if I don't agree to cooperate with you?" β
"You think it's up to you? Fool," Chelson still laughed, and he raised his hand, and the soldiers beside me stepped forward neatly, their guns pointed at me in unison, "if you don't want to be carried back by us wolves, I advise you to raise your hands." By the way, there's an automatic fire extinguishing system, and your abilities don't work. β
"Really?" Almost as soon as I spoke, I pulled out two things and threw them to the left and right.
Suction balls, this is something I scavenged from the base.
When the ball hits the ground, it unfolds like a flower, and the central nuclear energy erupts with a high-intensity suction, sucking any metal material within three meters to the center of the ball. The armor worn by the soldier and the electricity. Hit. The guns, all of which had a metal substance, were temporarily restricted from moving because they collided with each other due to the suction. To be honest, I don't want to kill, kill. Killing only makes my mind and mind brutal and numb, and I don't have the energy to kill right now.
I dodged the flash from Chelson, sprinted quickly to the right, slid to the ground by inertia, and picked up a handful of long-range electric that had been thrown out as I slid along. Hit. gun, knock the trigger down the soldier in front of him, and throw a cryogenic fireball at Chelson, bouncing and fleeing towards the passage to the right.
The automatic fire extinguishing system needs to reach a certain temperature in the room, or the flame will not be turned on until it jumps near the sprinkler, so as long as I use a low temperature flame, there will be no problem.
Chelson didn't seem to expect me to fight back, he looked rather wolf when he dodged the fireball, but he reacted fairly quickly and quickly caught up with me and fired lightning bolts at me.
I swung two flames at the rear, creating a fire barrier to stop Chelson, knocking down the soldiers who rushed to support me with my gun.
"Hell!"
With Chelson's angry scolding, I heard the sound of electricity in the back of my heart, and immediately jumped against the wall and turned over to avoid it, electrocuted down several soldiers in the air, landed on the shoulders of one soldier, and used the force of the fall to roll him up, using his body to block the next wave of lightning. Thankfully, Chelson's lightning attack was wide, and after the soldier was hit, the high-intensity electric current unfortunately caused the surrounding soldiers to suffer. By this time, I was already bouncing out with my strength, picking up speed and sprinting forward.
The alarm lights on the wall turned red and flickered wildly, and the shrill sirens whistled in their ears. In fact, I don't know where this road leads, just the desire to survive. Hope compels me to move forward.
Human-powered attacks, high-intensity electric currents, and even bullets fired after they were angry...... The attack was like countless shotshots rushing towards me, and after a piercing gunshot, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my calf, and my speed dropped suddenly.
I was shot in the right calf, blood running down my wound and soaking my shoes and socks, and I swung two flames backwards, taking the opportunity to turn into a path.
And then...... I stopped.
I saw two people, who seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time, standing quietly in front of me, blocking my way.
Ben and March.
Ben's β‘β‘ rests on March temples, his lenses reflecting a chilling glow in the crimson light.
"We meet again, Mr. Sals Eddy. I have to applaud your courage for breaking into this place alone. But unfortunately, this is the end of the game," Ben pushed his glasses and pulled the electronic rope, forcing the tied March to stand in front of him, while he pulled the trigger, "If you don't want anything to happen to your companion, you better surrender." β
"Sals, you idiot, why are you coming in!" March twisted his body excitedly, but a second later, the electronic rope released an electric current, causing him to scream in pain and tremble all over.
"To save my companions." I frowned and crouched down without any expression. leaning up, he lifted his trouser legs, turned into a pair of tongs, breathed a few times violently, endured the severe pain and pulled out the bullet, while trying to speak in a calm tone, "You mentioned the words 'meet again' just now, and it seems that you know who I am and have met me. β
Ben seemed surprised that I was able to calmly deal with the wound in this situation, and his voice sounded a little surprised: "I think Chelson has told you that your mother is with us, and we have been watching you. β
"Really?" I tore through my underwear to wrap around the wound and calmly tended to the injury.
Things have come to this point, and I have to be suspicious. You know, after my mother was taken away by the organization, my father took me out of the former residence for the purpose of protecting me, incognito, and I swear that no outsider knows where we went.
After my father's death, I changed back to the name given to me by Ai God, and wandered around alone, without a fixed place to live, and never revealed my identity. Although I tried to join the Falcon organization in order to rebel against the Nords after Ed's accident, my identity was once again kept secret because I refused to fight with a gun and was politely refused to join the organization by the instructor.
If there's one thing that is most likely to reveal my identity, it's when I become a sacrifice. I don't know what happened to the Nords after they captured me, but I am sure that there is absolutely no household registration information in the government department, and it will not be easy to scan my identity information.
But judging by Chelson and Ben, they didn't know my identity from the scans, so there's another possibility...... Oh, a possibility I don't really want to guess.
Treachery.
I looked at March, he looked quite wolf, his chin was covered with stubble, the electricity released by the electronic rope had caused him a lot of damage, and now his body was still twitching and shaking, and his face was quite pale, but unfortunately, the glowing eyes betrayed him.
Let me think about how long I've known March...... Oh, probably two years. Ever since I was denied entry into the Falcon organization, March, as a member of the organization, has been secretly associated with me because he admires me. Later, for some unknown reason, March quit the organization, and our relationship came to light.
Despite his recklessness, he was warm and righteous, and I regarded him as my best friend and told him who I really was.
If...... Well, I mean, if he really betrayed me, then if you think about it, what happened around me in the past few years can also be strung together into a complete chain of evidence, but what is the purpose of March's betrayal? Or what did he want by betraying his own race to help the Nords?
Perhaps, I need to prove it with practice.
[March, can you still move?] I try to communicate with March with consciousness.
[Of course, my man, I'm not dead yet!] Oh, you goddamn idiot, why did you come in, do you know how long these people have been staring at you, you're just going to die when you come in......]
[Very well,] I interrupted March's nagging, "Then please run away with me." γ
[Are you kidding man, do you know how many soldiers your actions attracted, they ......]
[Run, don't run? I'll admit I'm a bit sensitive. I always felt that March's nonsense was deliberately delaying time.
[Run, of course you have to run!] But how to escape, I still have a guy on my temple! γ
[You pretend to be hit by an electric current and find a way to keep your temples away from the muzzle, and then I will attack Ben's knee with flames and hit his hand with a gun to make him let you go.] γ
[Ai God, you will want my life! γ
[I swear I'll keep you safe, there's no time buddy, if you don't want to die here, trust me.] γ
[Well, my friend, I believe in you. γ
[Hands-on! γ
March immediately screamed, his body trembling, and something strange happened.
Ben didn't panic as I had planned, but quickly took half of his body into March's burly body and dragged March's head to the side of the β‘β‘.
His speed was so amazing that by the time he had done all these moves, I had just turned on the power. Hit. The gun, before it could be fired, lost its target.
Of course, I deliberately slowed it down.
One, I can't really risk March's life; Two, I don't think we're in a position to get out of here now; Three, I'm curious about this institute, and I'd love to stay and see what exactly this institute wants to do.
This is only a small trial.
As a result of the experiment, I saw March actively move a small step, allowing Ben to hide behind him faster.
