Chapter 57: Superheroes
Victoria angrily pushed away the cup in front of her to show her uncooperation. At the same time, she once again complained in her heart about Hao Fanlai - if he hadn't come to the local safe house by himself, he wouldn't have to suffer these three or four days.
But the middle-aged woman across the table was still kind. When she laughs, she has fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, revealing eight teeth, and rubs her hands gently, like the kind of housewife who only appears in the vegetable market.
However, Victoria now knows that this is the second person in charge of the "organization" in Zhongdu, named Yan Weizi. She talked to Victoria for three days, asking her to tell her story over and over again when she met Hao Fan, and then asked a lot of questions from beginning to end, from end to end—as if interrogating a prisoner.
Of course, he almost handcuffed her to a chair.
They suspect that the masked man Hao Fan is a spy of the empire and wants to break into the organization. But Victoria scoffed at the claim, telling the woman that she had invited her to join the group, but she refused.
Every time he heard her say this, Yun Qingyin showed that meaningful smile on his face. Victoria knew what the other party was thinking—they felt that Hao Fan was trying to get away with it. But she didn't believe that Hao Fan was that kind of person anyway.
"He's not that kind of person! I know the truth! Once again, Victoria emphasized.
Yan Weizi nodded "understandingly" and said, "I can understand your thoughts. But have you ever wondered – what does he do and never kill? In that night's situation, he hadn't even killed the three agents. ”
"Because he said there was surveillance. We've been exposed! Victoria defended him.
Yan Weizi smiled, closed his palms, and sighed slightly like looking at a disobedient little girl: "So, how do you explain that you came to the safe house?" ”
"That night he took you to the south of the city and told you to go to the safe house. If he really had the kind heart you say, he wouldn't have left you there and left on his own. Ten minutes after you fled the scene, agents of the Security Bureau began to secretly arrest the whole city, and in that case, if it weren't for our safe house, it happened to be in the building at your feet...... How can you escape? ”
Yan Weizi's hand pressed down slightly, put away his smile and looked at Victoria: "Girl, because he knows that the safe house in the south of the city is there." That's why he left with peace of mind. He knows a lot more about us than you might think—we didn't even know there was such a person in the Channel. ”
"So we need you to think about it. There are no details. His identity can be revealed. This is related to the life and death of the entire Zhongdu branch. ”
Victoria was silent for a moment before she said with difficulty, "This ...... No way. He knows that I can escape......"
But Yan Weizi didn't speak, just looked at her. As if asking with your eyes: Do you believe this statement of your own?
Victoria was eventually defeated by her eye attack. She hesitated and said, "But even if what you say is right, I have already said everything I know." I...... Am I going to be locked up? ”
Yan Weizi looked at her for a while. Stand up: "You are our comrade. Not our enemy. It's not about imprisoning you. Just a necessary measure to ensure safety. You know, we gave up the safe house in Shinan for you. Hope you understand. ”
Victoria nodded, a feeling of shame welling up in her heart.
After a while, Yan Weizi said again: "That's the end of your review." You are free to move around – someone will arrange for you. If there's anything important in your original home. We'll get it for you. But you can't go back – we'll have to put you somewhere else, or a different identity. ”
Victoria sighed softly and said, "Okay. ”
Yan Weizi turned around and walked out the door.
There was also a man outside the door, looking inside through the one-sided glass. Yan Weizi shook his head at him: "This girl is clean. She didn't know anything. ”
"Hmm." The man said, "Then settle her well." I can ask a friend from the intelligence department to look it up. Now that he knows his name...... Maybe you can get something. ”
"The Intelligence Division of the Palace Security Bureau?" Yan Weizi asked.
"Yes." "I'm trying to get in touch with the commissioner—hopefully pulling him to us." ”
"That's a good thing." Yan Weizi said in surprise.
A smug look appeared on the man's face, but he quickly controlled it.
"It's more than that." The man said, "If that person named Hao Fan is really as we think, he is someone in the palace, and he is really a white person. Then with him and the director of the intelligence department, our matter has a great chance of success. ”
"But you still have to be cautious and not be in a hurry." Yan Weizi said, "Solve Hao Fan's problem first." ”
"Yes." The man looked at Victoria in the room and shook his head slightly—the last time he had seen his sister was about that age.
"That day won't be too long." He said, "...... Li Zhen. I want him to pay with blood. ”
Yan Weizi sighed and didn't speak. Because she couldn't have imagined that the boy she bumped into on the road more than ten years ago would be as good as she is now.
Three days later, the man got what he wanted. The source of the information was an agent of the Intelligence Department of the Palace Security Service. The agent took great risks and consulted all the information related to the name "Hao Fan", but found nothing. He then ventured to expand the investigation to include the palace staff – even the cooks.
So he found the man on a list of dismissals. This person's name is "Li Haofan".
But he couldn't find anything anymore - Li Haofan was originally a cleaner and had a very innocent background. Six years ago, after receiving the drug transformation, this person suddenly awakened his own abilities, so the position of cleaner was no longer suitable for him. He left his post and his file was sealed.
The agent realized that there was a story behind it—that it was what they were good at.
So he continued to exert his efforts in the files of the Intelligence Department, and finally followed some inconspicuous clues to find Li Haofan's information in the deep web of the Security Bureau. But at his level, access to his information would inevitably trigger an alarm, so he gave up.
The man was quite satisfied with this information. So he began to work on the next step.
He spent nearly a month repeatedly testing the chief of the Intelligence Division, and finally confirmed that the person was indeed a genuine member of the "organization". As for the reason?
The two sons and daughters of the intelligence chief all died of drugs when they were forcibly converted, leaving him with only the white-haired man to send the black-haired man. At the beginning, the drugs developed in South Luzon that could transform ordinary people into capable people have a 10.01 percent chance of causing the genetic disintegration of ordinary people. But this director didn't know what evil Lu Dao had done in his previous life - two 0.01 percent were actually spread on his head.
He said he had hidden his hatred for six years before finally getting to where he is now — he could try to ask the tyrant for something for his children.
The man asked the director for a letter of nomination - Li Haofan's details.
Three days later, the materials were delivered to him.
The information shows that what the agent found out before is indeed correct. Li Haofan showed amazing potential after awakening his ability, and soon reached the king level. He was then recruited by the Emperor's Special Operations Group and became one of the secret agents. They're the kind of people who have a lot of authority, but at the same time the data is kept only on the deep web of the Imperial Intelligence Network—the kind that can't be accessed through normal channels.
He had been sent to the Northern Empire on a series of missions, and in the course of those missions his mentality had gradually changed—no one would have a good time seeing the tyranny of the tyranny now, let alone a young man of twenty-four—and his blood was boiling in his veins.
The man checked the information about Li Haofan's tasks in detail, and used the organization's intelligence network to confirm it again and again. It was concluded that the things mentioned in those sources were well documented in the intelligence networks of both the Northern Empire and the Southern Empire, and were by no means made up out of thin air.
He then spent another week in disguised contact with several palace staff, who admitted that there was indeed such a young man a few years ago, and they all had an impression.
"I've taken a picture with him before." A female staff member said, and led the man to her home to look at the photo. This was followed by a night with a man.
At this point, the Central Capital Branch of the "Organization" believed that they had confirmed Li Haofan's identity. And this identity can also be explained by the fact that he never kills people - because those people are still considered his colleagues.
Next, they plan to contact Li Haofan.
Li Haofan is a king. His whereabouts are by no means traceable to ordinary people. So the man decided to go out himself.
On the third night, he finally discovered the whereabouts of the other party. But Li Haofan was quite vigilant and immediately moved elsewhere. However, the advantage of a man is that he can also move "instantaneously" - through his advantage of high speed.
The two of them played a game of chase and escape in the darkness of the middle capital, which lasted for nearly two hours. During this time, both men were careful not to alert possible law enforcers or secret agents.
In the process, they passed through the area near the palace three times, but Li Haofan did not ask for help from the security agents there, let alone try to throw the man into the defense net there. This makes the tracker more and more convinced of his own judgment - this man has a strong sense of justice and wants to be a superhero in the night. And the rule of superheroes is that they can't kill people - or they will be dark heroes. (To be continued......)
