Chapter 136: Dark Fairy Tale
Xiao Jian drove the car to a nearby city and slowly stopped by a road and bridge.
There is a stall not far away, the old couple guarding the stall are over the age of six, the old man is in charge, the old lady is in charge, and a small lamp is pulled in front of the coal stove.
From time to time, cars drove by on the road, kicking up a cloud of dust. Chen Mo looked at the old lady who sent the menu and ordered a dish. When the old lady saw that he was young, she thought that she was used to spending lavishly, but persuaded him not to waste money.
"I'm hungry." Chen Mo smiled at her.
"I can't see that you're good-hearted." Xiao Jian said lightly.
"Anyway, you pay for it, and you don't eat for nothing." Chen Mo broke open the chopsticks and scraped the wooden thorns on them.
At first, the two didn't have much to say, Chen Mo started eating, like a whirlwind. Xiao Jian sat next to him in a suit and leather shoes, rarely moving his chopsticks, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the old lady had not eaten as fast as Chen Mo had served.
"Is there anything else to take care of at home? If so, I can help. Xiao Jian asked slowly when he drank the second bottle of wine.
"It's fine." Chen Mo smiled.
"That's good." Xiao Jian took out a file bag from his briefcase and pushed it on the table, "Here are the things you want, let's do it tomorrow." I must warn you that you are a fugitive now, and our men will not use empty bullets against you, but only make sure to shoot as far as possible. ”
"Is it necessary to act so really?"
"Of course, when you save that girl, the Ministry of Public Security will issue an A-level wanted warrant. Within 12 hours, your photos will appear on the intranet and fax in police stations, public security, patrol and prison departments across the country. They don't know that you're from the 23rd innings, so you're dealing with a real state apparatus that, if you're not lucky, you can die at any time by resisting arrest. ”
The old man had already cooked all the dishes and was wiping his hands on a rag. The old lady seemed a little distressed, and took a cigarette from her apron pocket and helped him light it. The cyan smoke rose quietly, and the lights set off the two figures as old and weak, but there was a faint sense of warmth.
Chen Mo looked at it for a while, then nodded, "Rescue that little girl, it is estimated that the future road will depend on her." ”
"The action teams sent by Pandora have all arrived in Shudong, and they are still under our monitoring. The sooner you start, the more you will take the initiative, after all, you have a good reason. At the same time, you have to be careful that they don't fall in the same place twice, and you can't let your guard down if you want to leave the country safely. Xiao Jian said solemnly.
"I didn't expect you to be quite interested in Old Man Mo, I thought that only me and his granddaughter would worry about this matter."
"Dr. Mok is a national asset, a truly priceless treasure. The 'Iceman' project, which Pandora is now cooperating with the Ministry of Defense of country M, contains a large number of research results of Dr. Mo. I have to admit that we were a little late aware, and we only learned from foreign intelligence that there was such an outstanding figure as Dr. Mo. But it's better to be late, it should be too late to remedy it now, after you arrive in country M, you can contact our assigned intelligence officers if you have any needs, and they will also arrange for you to return to China when things are done. Xiao Jian wrote down a phone number and handed it to Chen Mo, "Burn it after it is cooked, this is the only thing you can rely on outside." ”
"Wait until I come back...... Chen Mo paused before continuing, "What about the Xiao family's affairs?" ”
"I thought you didn't care at all. To be honest, I'm curious what you'd do if you couldn't wait for us to come to your rescue. Xiao Jian's eyes were blazing.
"That's just waiting to die." Chen Mo smiled.
He didn't change the slightest change from his expression to his tone, as if he was telling the whole truth.
"You won't, I know you." Xiao Jian shook his head, "You will escape from prison by yourself, and then come to me, and hide after killing me." No matter which side of the force it is, as long as you dare to hit your family or Jiang Dongwei's idea, it is estimated that you will become the next Xiao Dingshen. ”
Chen Mo grabbed a handful of peanuts and bit them with a clattering sound.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I don't know if you have seen that country M movie. I seem to be a bit hypocritical today, it's been a long time since I've said so much to someone other than my colleagues. Xiao Dingshen is not a problem, the Xiao family has come to this day, and the road is not very clean. You can find someone to carry the bag for the two Jiangdongwei gunners, and we can naturally rehabilitate you......" Xiao Jian said this, the chopsticks in his hand had been broken because they were pinched too tightly.
Only he knows how much pressure he is under to talk to this young man today. Chen Mo's seemingly calm appearance was surging under the lava-like flames, the killing intent had not yet faded in him, and after the past few days of captivity, it had become more and more violent.
"Listen to me." The feeling of suffocation almost in the face of another species had already made Xiao Jian's palms ooze cold sweat, but his eyes were still as calm as rocks, "To make the most realistic analogy, you are much more useful than Xiao Dingshen." His status is worthless to us, but you're different. There are many strong players like you in the 23rd round, and we never push the special team members too hard, and we are willing to give them enough personal space. If this collaboration goes well, you may be one of them in the future. ”
"I don't like wearing uniforms." Chen Mo replied coldly.
Xiao Jian looked at his body and smiled, "We don't wear uniforms, only suits." ”
Touching today, Xiao Jian has never asked a question about Chen Mo's special abilities, even if it is a sideline. Chen Mo never asked him how he came to the door and why he was interested in him, and there was an amazing tacit understanding between the two sides in some aspects.
Chen Mo can't talk about having a good impression of this person, but there is no doubt that Xiao Jian is very safe, like a machine.
"Remember, if you die outside, or if you fail and are captured by the other side, we will not admit that you have anything to do with it." Xiao Jian left the money before leaving, "So you'd better think about the current things first, and then think about the future." ”
The car drove away quietly, Chen Mo sat for a while, drank the last sip of wine, and got up to pay the bill.
The old couple who opened the stall watched him walk away alone and began to close the stall.
It's time to rest.
Luo Li's fingertips slid over the dense dents on the wall, counting the days of detention, and the cold color in her blue eyes faded little by little.
Since she was handed over to the 23rd Bureau by the special police, she has been admitted to this special cell of the Shudong Provincial Security Department, with a thick rubber layer on all four walls, and myasthenic drugs that make her unable to even bite her tongue to commit suicide.
She wanted to die, but now even death has become a luxury. Such a closed environment was awakening the fear in her heart, and those desperate memories and bloody images had long been awakened, clearly appearing in front of her eyes, and every time she touched it with her hand, she could hear the creepy screams coming from inside.
It was her own voice.
Yesterday's dinner was unusually rich, even with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. The guard in charge of delivering the food was a young man in his early twenties, and every time he came, his expression looked like a clay sculpture and wood carving, but yesterday was obviously different. As he handed the plate from the iron grid on the cell door, his gaze carried a subtle hint of pity, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Are they finally running out of patience?" Luo Li quickly realized something.
So she asked the guard if she could fulfill her last wish. The guard obviously didn't expect her to be able to tell from the extra meal that death was near, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally nodded.
Now that the old collection of fairy tales with missing pages was in her hands, she only read one of the stories.
At the age of six, Luo Li was imprisoned in an iron cage. All the beauty and warmth were stripped from life, and she eventually curled up in blood and excrement, mingling with many non-human and non-animal creatures. Every time the figure in a white coat appears, the cage becomes chaotic, and the sharp needles and transparent potions are the coldest things in the impression.
Iron cages are placed in dark rooms, and every time the door clatters and closes, the ugly creatures around them come alive, and weak and bleeding individuals are often eaten alive. She began to fear claustrophobic spaces, and the hideous sounds of chewing bones still ringed in nightmares to this day.
One day she was choked by the neck by steel tongs and dragged out of the cage. She had learned to let go of pointless struggles, and Professor Ronnie seemed to be in a good mood, allowing her to spend a moment in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window after the experiment.
The professor's female assistant handed over a fairy tale, which she opened.
"The Happy Prince".
The sun was warm on her body, and she saw that the son took away the gold leaf from the prince's body little by little, and took away the jeweled eyes, and went to the poor to help the poor, until he became a gray and dull statue.
"Farewell, dear prince...... "The son died of the bitter cold, and the prince's lead heart was split in half.
Luo Li could feel something cross her face, and then it landed on the page, soaking wet. It was the first time in her life that she shed tears, a strange feeling.
When she returned to the cage, she found that several pinholes in her arm were still bleeding - perhaps due to the new potion, she couldn't be sure. The smell of fresh enough blood stimulated the xenomorphs, who hesitated to crawl slowly, while she crouched in the corner and didn't move.
The next day, the experimenter who opened the door to the darkroom was stunned, and the only one in the cage was the girl, and the whole scene was like hell.
The potion worked, and Professor Ronnie was agitated.
"I don't want to die." When Luo Li was dragged out of the iron cage, she looked up at her wet face covered with dirty blood and flesh, and whispered.
I don't want to die.
Footsteps were heard from outside the cell, four heavily armed guards, a pair of electric shock handcuffs, one coming.
No one forced Luo Li to confess anything, she was taken out by the backhandcuffs, and the fairy tale collection fell to the ground.
The convoy was heading towards the suburban execution ground, and Luo Li sat in one of the police vans, looking out at the outside world, and the sun was shining like that morning when he first read a fairy tale.
At the railroad crossing, the convoy slowed down. Luo Li stared at the farmland and river in the distance, quietly distracted, and at this moment a figure was quietly reflected in her blue eyes, rushing from the side of the road.
In less than a quarter of a blink of an eye, the man had struck the van like a cannonball, and the body flipped on its side, deflating in the middle and bursting all the glass.
The door was pulled open from the outside, and a hand poked in. Looking at those dark eyes, Luo Li was shocked beyond measure.
This is not a prince, but a beast she is familiar with.
