Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk: Escape and Tragedy (2)

My own understanding is not so high.

He only remembered looking at Lin Xiaojia at the critical moment, his heart was anxious, his eyes were dark, what sounded in his ears was his own words, and the rest was a strange fragment in the boundless darkness.

As for the content of his own words at that time, he also found that he couldn't remember the slightest, like a memory fault that was cut out of thin air.

And he didn't want to say anything about the light curtain fragment in the dark environment, after all, even he couldn't understand the meaning of the picture, and saying it might become more and more confusing.

Skimming his head, Lin Xiaojia didn't look at his side, what he thought in his heart was that it was good not to ask, asking, he really couldn't answer anyway, he groped for the wound on his nose that had just been healed, and the sourness was still beating in the flesh and skin from time to time, reminding himself that he was the owner of this body.

In the dark, he felt that there were secrets buried in his body that he, the master, did not know.

"Hey, don't hurry away, Qi Gongzi, I'll send you!"

Lao Zhang got up from the sofa coldly, and walked towards Qi Tianling, who had just pushed the door open, with one hand on his back, without twisting at all, looking like sending his old friend out.

"When did the two of them become so close?"

The door closed with Qi Tianling's somewhat stunned expression, and An Yiran muttered to himself a little.

"Who knows, Lao Zhang himself is a bit ......"

Lin Xiaojia originally wanted to say that he was nervous, but when he thought that it was not good to say that it was not good to say something behind his back, he still didn't say it in the end.

The sound of raindrops came through the cracks of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the gloomy rain finally broke out in full force for most of the day, washing everything in the city, the water splashed on the glass and dragged out a long trajectory, and the outline of the edge of the city in the distance gradually blurred in the water curtain.

Is it because of the rain? Speaking of rain, in his former world, it was always a term that was inseparable from melancholy.

"Well, there's no one here. ”

Qi Tianling moved away from Lao Zhang's shoulder, he was not used to such an overly intimate behavior with people.

"Tell me, what are you hiding? ”

Lao Zhang changed his previous attitude of giggling, he took out a white marlboro, took out a lighter and lit it, and the sound of ZIPPO's special slide made a crisp sound around the corner of the corridor.

Spit out a puff of thick smoke, the special aroma of flue-cured tobacco permeated the two, once Lao Zhang felt that Marlboro was the most difficult cigarette in the world, a middle-aged man's foot smell, but gradually got used to this strong stimulation, and could no longer leave.

"I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Qi Tianling straightened out his slightly wrinkled blazer and said in a calm tone.

"Don't pretend, now that kid is our man, and we have a right to know. ”

If An Yiran was present now, he would probably be surprised that his jaw fell, and the tough old Zhang in front of him was staring at Qi Tianling's eyes, and his mouth was regularly spitting out bursts of smoke.

"To be precise, Class B scavengers don't have the right to know. ”

Qi Tianling's eyes did not shy away, and he looked straight at Lao Zhang,-for-tat.

"There's no need to know. ”

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Lao Zhang grabbed Qi Tianling's neckline and slammed his body against the wall, under the huge impact, the entire corridor trembled, and the cleaning aunt at the other end saw this scene, and hurriedly packed up the plastic bucket and walked away, lest it be affected by these two people.

"Let go of your hand. ”

Qi Tianling didn't expect Lao Zhang to come to this show, his tone gradually cooled down, and a little electric light began to jump up and down his body.

"It will not do us any good to continue to conceal it!"

Lao Zhang let go of his hand, turned his back and continued to smoke, his fierce look faded, and all that was left was the endless depth in his eyes.

"Zhang Zifeng, a B-level senior ability in the headquarters, has a high-level ability to control the mind, but unfortunately he can't use it on the ability, so he is relegated to the B-level. ”

"You know me well, and you seem to have done your homework. ”

"Naturally, after all, we belong to the same organization, and it is also appropriate to understand each other. ”

"Yet we are completely kept in the dark, like lambs driven by men? ”

Lao Zhang pinched the cigarette butt and threw it casually out of the window of the corridor, and the torrential rain became more and more violent in the thunder.

"Do you want to know all this for the sake of that kid, or for yourself? ”

Qi Tianling put his hands in his pockets, walked to Lao Zhang's side, and slowly stood still, staring at the raindrops that kept falling outside the window.

"There are too many, whether it's this organization, it's the world, there are too many puzzles. The only thing I know is that everything about that kid will never be a coincidence. ”

"Do you hate the feeling of being blinded?"

"It's a personal annoyance. ”

"I'm sorry, these are top secrets, and even if you kill me here, I won't be able to reveal half a word. And I really know, it's not necessarily a good thing for you. Qi Tianling turned around and said to Lao Zhang, who had fallen silent.

"I know you've been searching for an answer, but believe that since we've chosen to do everything in our power to protect something, we can't avoid regrettable sacrifices. ”

Lao Zhang still didn't say a word, he quietly looked out the window, the rain that came in wet his gray trousers, and the water stains spread down his trouser legs.

"I can believe what you say for a moment. ”

Qi Tianming's footsteps went farther and farther, and he paused slightly when he heard Lao Zhang's words, but he still didn't look back.

"Take care of that child. ”

His voice disappeared with his back at the end of the hallway, and Lao Zhang turned sideways, his back against the wall, and today's high-intensity ability maintenance made a trace of fatigue hit him.

He pulled out another cigarette, and the flint of the lighter rubbed into a burst of sparks in his hand, but it couldn't catch fire.

"Damn. ”

He muttered, slipped the lighter into his pocket, and the cigarette in his mouth was wet from the rain that swept in, and hung limply.

In the suite, the falcon is repeatedly trying to connect to the An system, but all of them fail.

Since the collapse of the Lego Tower, the city's An system has been in a state of failure, not only to connect to communications facilities, but also to the headquarters and other branches, which has never happened before.

"It didn't work, and the subsystem didn't react. ”

He put down the tablet in his hand, pondering the source of all this anomaly.

"Even if the partition center is destroyed, the An system will not collapse completely, unless someone specifically targets the source of interference, but there is nothing else to do this except the An system itself. ”

An is a system specially developed to maintain the operation of the organization, not just a terminal or artificial intelligence, there is a legend that An is not a system, but a living person, is a person with extremely powerful diversion and data analysis capabilities, although this may be pure nonsense, but also indirectly shows the intelligence and power of the An system.

Now, the system is completely out of order.

"It's hard to believe, but I've always felt like it's just the nightwreckage doing the ghosts. ”

The falcon groaned for a moment, speaking its thoughts.

"In other words, the destruction of the sub-district center is only one step for them, and their operation continues. ”

Lin Xiaojia changed into a new windbreaker and walked out of the bedroom inside, she had just finished taking the medicine, and her face was obviously much better than before.

She didn't change into her usual casual clothes at home, and the situation was getting more and more confusing, and she needed to be ready to get into battle at any time.

Li Ruoling didn't say a word, just looked out the window, her temperament was always so unpredictable, even if Lin Xiaojia, who had lived together for nearly half a month, couldn't grasp this girl who had been cold.

"Hello everyone!

The door was kicked open, and Lao Zhang, with his hands full of ground, walked in from the door.

"Where have you run for such a long time? ”

Lin Xiaojia looked at the big bag in his hand, and she was also a hundred convinced of Lao Zhang, who was still thinking blindly at this time.

"People are iron, rice is steel! Come on, let's eat something first. ”

He pulled out several large vats from the paper bags with the bearded grandfather's logo printed on them, and the aroma of fried chicken spread along the barrels.

Only then did everyone realize that it seemed that they hadn't eaten for a day, and it was close to dusk at this time, and the evening news would broadcast today's major events soon, and it was really impossible to wait for a set of battle plans to sit and wait now, and the night wreckage did not take the initiative to act, for them who had lost the assistance of the An system, it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to search for the location of the night wreckage.

Moreover, the kingdom's ability has been fully awakened, just like the horn of attack is bound to charge, and they will definitely launch the next offensive.

Lin Xiaojia also had a hunch that the next situation might be as violent as a storm outside the window.

Lao Zhang diligently distributed food to everyone, according to his previous words, his ability is called spiritual control, and the ugly thing is to say that it is a piece of paper, wiping his ass and engaging in logistics, of course, he does it every time. An Yiran also felt that although Lao Zhang had always had an unreliable attitude, he was really good at taking care of people.

The rain outside the window had no intention of stopping, and the falcon chewed the hamburger in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the news broadcast screen on his mobile phone, which was really a little uncomfortable for him who was used to using An to obtain information.

Sure enough, the evening news began with a report on the collapse of the Lego Group building, and he turned up the volume to the maximum, and the picture showed a live video of the scene shortly after the collapse of the building, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the banyan grove behind the reporter was crooked, and the bushes were also unrecognizable.

"Tsk, that's miserable. ”

Lao Zhang leaned over to the falcon and kept smacking.

"At present, the police said that the incident was a series of targeted terrorist attacks, and next, people suspected of being associated with terrorist organizations will be issued a wanted notice. ”

The broadcast interface is switched, and a row of avatars appear in the picture, although the clarity is not very high, but the faces can still be distinguished.

Lao Zhang's mouth with chicken bones stopped chewing, and the eagle falcon's gaze was fixed on the picture.

"You're all going to take a look!"

He crossed his mobile phone and handed the screen to Lin Xiaojia and the others at the table.

The avatars in the picture are clearly several of them.

Lin Xiaojia and An Yiran were placed in the front position, followed by Eagle Falcon, Li Ruolin, Lao Zhang, and Qi Tianling.

"What the hell is going on!"

The screen switched again, and in the next video clip, it was clear that Lin Xiaojia and An Yiran were sitting in a semi-trailer, while Qi Tianling was in the driver's seat, and the perspective of the picture was directly in front of them, and at that time, there should only be endless groups of wreckage in front of them.

The clip came to an abrupt halt with the sound of the semi-trailer roaring and starting, and switched to the next clip.

It was the image of the falcon standing at the gate of the cake factory for three days, and the operatives of the Eastern Division were scattered behind them, and the falcon raised his hand and fired five shots at the gate, and after a short delay, a second crackling sound was heard.

Under his leadership, everyone entered the factory in turn.

"The incident at the factory in the northern suburbs has been dealt with in conjunction with the incident at the Lego Tower, and the police are here to inform you that the suspect is in possession of weapons of mass destruction and belongs to a well-trained criminal gang. ”

Qi Tianling, the son of the chairman of the chairman of the Lego Construction Group, is suspected to have a major connection with the entire case, and the current Ligao Construction has been included in the scope of monitoring, waiting for further investigation and processing. ”

Hearing what the host said, the falcon pressed the phone, and the whole room fell silent.

"It was put on the table. ”

He put away his phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, the electric curtain slowly closing in his hand.
