Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Inner Ghost
Then he pulls out the opponent's left hand from behind his back. The man struggled, but his strength was as useless as a baby in front of Li Zhen, and his hand was still pressed on the pottery shard.
Li Zhen silently grasped the saber, straightened his fingers, and compared the blade to the fingertips.
Subsequently, the voice of "Dangdang Dang Dang" sounded in a dense manner.
At the same time, there was a scream that was so suppressed that it was unbearable - the man watched as his fingers were cut into pieces by Li Zhen in a rather skillful chopping posture, but no matter how he twisted his body, he couldn't pull it out.
The screaming continued for half a minute. The man fainted.
Li Zhen stopped and looked at the other person next to him with a pale face: "There was something that made me very unhappy last night. I'm in a bad mood. And that incident has something to do with you - do you know the way to the wild and the willows? ”
The other party pursed his lips and did not speak. But he only stared at Li Zhen's face.
He could see ...... The young man seemed to be pretending to be calm. There was terrible anger and tyranny brewing beneath his face, as if it would destroy the entire world if it was unleashed.
Hideous. This is the impression he derives from himself.
But Li Zhen then said: "I didn't expect you to speak now. You can look at it a little longer. ”
He turned his head and swung his sword into the palm of the other's half-hand, and the victim groaned and woke up. Before his eyes were fully opened, Li Zhen raised his knife again.
The sound of "Dang Dang Dang" was completely drowned out by the terrible roar of a beast, and there were already two more thin and almost transparent pieces of flesh embedded in the bone shards.
Li Zhen turned his head and smiled slightly at the onlooker.
"I have a friend. The means are much better than mine. If she was there, the scene would never be so bloody. ”
The man's face turned blue and his mouth moved, as if he was about to say something. But Li Zhen's face sank: "I didn't want you to speak, don't talk too much." ”
But the tortured person could no longer endure this kind of torture - not only was there severe pain, but he also had to watch his hands being sliced into thin slices on the board, and no matter how he resisted, it was futile -
He cried out indistinctly in the interludes of his howls: "I say! ”
Li Zhen stopped abruptly and glared at him fiercely. The resentment almost turned his eyes blood-red, glowing with a burning glow in the soft morning light.
However, it was only a slight pause. The other party's entire palm had disappeared, revealing Bai Sensen's forearm bone. Li Zhen cut his arm again.
The wails suddenly climbed to a new level. The tail note is endless, reaching into the sky. The man shouted in a muffled voice, "You ...... Lunatic! ”
Li Zhen straightened up. A kick knocked him unconscious.
Then he chuckled in a low voice: "Not only is it crazy...... Or the devil. The devil who kills with blood. ”
Blood spurted out of the unconscious's veins—and Li Zhen stepped the wound deep into the dirt with his foot to stop the bleeding.
Then walk up to the bystander: "Now you can speak." ”
The man nodded immediately.
"Are you the ones of the Gate of Truth?"
"We are quick ones."
"Knives in the wind?"
"Yes."
"Who hired you?"
"The Gate of Truth."
"Where's the news?"
"Continental."
"Who?"
"I don't know."
Li Zhen looked at him coldly.
The other party glanced at his knife and hurriedly said, "I really don't know." We are just mercenaries, who provided us with weapons and ammunition before the Gate of Truth. It is a one-line connection with China. The other party never identifies. ”
"Why are there only 12 of you? Isn't there any reinforcement at the Gate of Truth? ”
"The order demanded that we go immediately. There was never any mention of reinforcements. Say you're all seriously injured. ”
Li Zhen thought for a while: "Your watch is also newly issued?" ”
"Yes."
A mystery has finally been solved. "Knife in the Wind" is a subordinate mercenary organization of "Kuaizai Feng". Most of them are involved in conventional wars between small African states, and there are very few opportunities to fight against capable people – and it is not incomprehensible that such mistakes can be made for that reason.
He took out another "Destroyer": "How much is this bullet?" ”
"It can only be obtained from the gate of truth. You can't see it on the black market. ”
Li Zhen nodded and looked at him for a while.
The other party realized something, and said in a deep voice: "Just ask for a good time." We also take money to do things. ”
Li Zhen snorted: "Not everyone can take their money." ”
Lift your foot and kick him in the forehead with a quick blow - the man falls to the ground.
Then Li Zhen kicked the other one awake. The man was dying, so weak from blood loss and painful torture that he could barely open his eyes, but he barely managed to stay conscious.
Li Zhen shook the saber in front of his eyes and asked the same question.
He was resentful of Li Zhen because of the torture just now, and even if his breath was weak, he could hear the viciousness between his words—so Li Zhen was glad that he had chosen the right person. If it is the one who cuts, it may have to be a lifetime of twists and turns.
The confessions of the two men matched.
He also did not hesitate to end the life of this one.
Some things are clear, but others are not clear.
These people are simply from a desperate situation, and the Gate of Truth seems to be happy to see this, making up the excuse that he and Kitagawa Haruaki have been injured, and asking them to attack lightly.
Definitely not planning to use his own hands to weaken the power of Kuaizaifeng. No matter how much Li Zhen killed, it was only a few people who were sent to the door - it didn't seem to be an elite. Besides, those who are quick will not be stupid enough to come to their deaths in batches.
The point is that they also brought with them the "Destroyer" - the Gate of Truth will not be unaware of the meaning of such a bullet, and will certainly consider the consequences of this thing falling into their own hands. But now it's as if these people have been sent all the way to send them to themselves.
What is it for?
It became a dark cloud hanging over his mind.
But...... Just look at the egg. The more they want it, the less they can get it.
But no matter what a bunch of "destroyers" in their hands. Or the extra information he knows is an additional gain for Li Zhen. His true purpose has been accomplished.
In the northern base, there are internal ghosts.
And it's a pretty high-level inner ghost, so high that you can get that message a day after reporting it to your own address.
There were several names jumping around in his head, but he couldn't get any of them.
Looking back now, when he first entered the base, the Indonesian Long Haotian inexplicably carried out a "massacre" - this matter seems to have never been investigated.
At that time, it was concluded that Long Haotian learned of the collapse of his family and that the secret service was planning to send him back, so he lost control of his mind before he lost his heart. But the question is, where did he get that news from? This has not been found out.
This was followed by Operation Shennongjia. The people at the Gate of Truth also seem to have inside the secrets of some of the secret services. Even the night kite escaped unharmed from the encirclement of the army. There was no clue at all afterwards. The secret service office has been investigating this matter for a long time, and even involved the officers of several military district units who were present at the time, but still nothing has been found.
Further on, there are secrets about yourself. Both Ueno Kanyanagi and Kitagawa Harumi have known since the Shennongjia incident. She rarely uses the ability to "fly" in the base - Kitagawa said this is what Kanyanagi Ueno told her. And Ueno Kanyanagi is the person of the Gate of Truth.
If no one in the base leaked information to that side. They can't even grasp the less noticeable behavior of their own daily life in such detail.
The inner ghost not only has a high status, but also ......
It seems to be very familiar with himself.
Dai Bingcheng mentioned this to Li Zhen quite vaguely. However, Li Zhen didn't think he could exclude him based on this - although in his own heart he didn't want to believe that Dai Bingcheng was the destroyer.
But here's the problem...... The news was reported to officials at or above the head of the base.
The inner ghost gets the news quite quickly, and it is impossible to know it by "stealing secrets". In that case, it will have to be delayed for at least two or three days. Or even longer.
Who will it be......
He let out a deep sigh. I only felt that my chest was swelling even more uncomfortable.
The sun slowly rose, and the dew drops on the blades of grass were shining. Li Zhen stared at the two corpses for a long time, and finally gave up reluctantly. There was too little information in his hand, and it was too far away, and he couldn't think about it.
But the matter of his own attack will definitely be known by the country, and the matter of the ghost will definitely arouse the vigilance of the secret service.
I only hope that they will not lose their heads in the struggle for power, and they will have the spare strength to clear the enemy from the inside first. It's just that in this way, it seems that the northern base is going to be messed up for a while again - this is also an excuse that can be used to make a big fuss.
He stood in the grass for another ten minutes, until the dew soaked his trouser legs, and then he walked over to the relatively intact corpse and squatted down.
Then he painfully awakened Chiyou's will and resonated with it, and tore his arm with his fingernails, drenching blood on the man's face.
This man is a capable person, and he used to wear a watch on his wrist that shields himself from bioelectric waves. And Li Zhen felt that it was necessary for him to find out the secret of his blood first.
When Ying Ran was rescued in Shennongjia's tomb, there must have been blood flowing into his mouth - why didn't he appear in the same condition as Kitagawa Qingming?
The corpse lay silently on the ground.
After a minute, its hands and feet trembled slightly.
Then there was an electric shock, and the corpse's eyelids opened and closed rapidly, the mouth suddenly opened, and the Adam's apple slid up and down—
"Uh-" took a suffocating breath.
He opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly confused, but in the blink of an eye, he turned over and got up...... Then I saw Li Zhen not far away.
He asked in disbelief, "...... Don't kill me? ”
Li Zhen looked at him indifferently and asked, "Do you have any special feelings?" ”
The other party glanced around with his peripheral vision, as if planning a route to escape.
But Li Zhen added: "You don't need to think about running. You can't run away either. Answer my question. ”
"I ...... It feels good. "As a captive, it's ridiculous to say that you feel good. However, he does feel really good right now – full of energy and relaxed muscles. The scars from the previous battle were no longer painful, and he even felt that he could kill a bull with his bare hands.
But the strength shown by the opponent is obviously much stronger than that of the bulls. So he cautiously did not act rashly, only speculated that he had been spared a life.
However, Li Zhen only responded to him with one sentence: "You can stand, you can sit, you can do sports within my sight, but don't want to run." ”
The mercenary couldn't figure out what he was going to do, and there was a sense of shame in his heart that he was being teased. But the expression on the other party's face was cold and numb, obviously not a person with a bad taste. He had to sit slowly on the grass with a lot of doubts, thinking about conserving his strength—maybe something unexpected would happen in a while.
And yet nothing happened.
Li Zhen kept staring at him. At first the man thought it was strange, but then it turned uneasy. When six hours had passed, he already felt that he was chilled by Li Zhen.
He tried to break the silence once more, frowning, "What exactly are you going to do?" ”
Li Zhen finally bent his knees and sat down like him. The midday sun had made the blades of grass wilt a little, and their bodies were covered with fine beads of sweat, almost soaking through their clothes. This time he didn't ask "how do you feel" again, but whispered -
"There is a thing called a species in this world. Now they are being resurrected. They can infect ordinary people in large numbers, alienate them, and turn them into ...... Some kind of mighty, fearless warrior. ”
"Species are very difficult to kill, and the more powerful they become, the more people they seem to be able to infect. The Gates of Truth who employ you are happy to see this outcome, and they don't even care if the species will destroy humanity, but they are happy to see it happen. ”
The captive listened to him with a frown, completely unable to figure out why the other party wanted to say so much to him. He also knew a little bit about some of the news, but others ......
He found it appalling.
Li Zhen looked at him: "You do things for the door of truth, saying that you are doing things with money. So if you know that your actions will lead to this kind of consequence, will you continue to do it? ”
The captive opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Li Zhen again.
"There are always many people in this world who think that I can't see through. I couldn't fathom why they had so many strange thoughts. But personally, I feel like I'm also very conflicted – I feel like a lot of times my style is completely contrary to my own philosophy, and I take it for granted. ”
"I have a friend, a friend who has lived and died together, died. I'll not tell you what you're saying—it's the other person you're looking for, Haruaki Kitagawa. ”
The captive's eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, he was thinking about what kind of reward he would get if he brought this news out of the city - it seemed that he had no intention of killing himself.
He heard Li Zhen continue: "She died, I blamed myself, and at the same time I was very angry. But I didn't know who I was going to turn to. Because a lot of people indirectly contributed to this, but the responsibility doesn't seem to be as big as mine. But I can't kill myself, you say—what should I do? ”
The mercenary felt that the other party was not really asking for his opinion, so he remained silent.
Really.
Li Zhen glanced at him again: "How do you feel now?" (To be continued.) )
