Hycock Warehouse District, inside a warehouse.

"Found it!"

A heavily armed SWAT officer wearing tactical goggles suddenly raised his right hand and made a gesture to stop, while staring at the clutter-filled corner in front of him.

When the other two SWAT officers heard this, they aimed their guns at the left front according to the eyes of the leading SWAT, and then the two saw that there was a slightly old statue quietly placed in the corner.

The statue is carved in such detail that it is lifelike, but it exudes an air of antiquity, as if the statue had been sitting in an old warehouse for so long that it was almost forgotten by time.

However, these people have been prompted by their superiors, so they understand that this quaintness and oldness is a protective color, allowing them to blend in more easily with the environment.

"Boss, are you sure that's it?"

One of the SWAT officers was a little puzzled, "After all, no matter how you look at it, this is just a statue......

"It's an order from above, we just need to do it."

The head of the special police team said in a cold tone, "Now according to the tips given above, the three of us must not look away, we must stare at it, if anyone wants to blink, we must report it, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

Both nodded, staring at the statue in front of them without blinking.

The SWAT team leader took out the walkie-talkie and began to report to his superiors, "Call headquarters, this is the No. 23 Hound Squad, we have found the target in the sixth district, we are currently in a state of observation to lock it, please send a containment team from the headquarters to come and carry out mandatory containment of the target, over!" ”

As he finished reporting, an order from his superiors immediately came over the intercom, "Call Team 23, your request has been received by HQ, please confirm that there are a few statues on your side." ”

"Only one has been found so far."

"Understood, the containment team is on their way to your location, over."

At the end of the call, the three of them didn't feel anything wrong, they just carried out the orders given by their superiors and waited for the arrival of the containment team.

And while waiting, the three of them were still chatting casually, and they seemed very relaxed about this kind of task.

"Boss, do you think this thing can really break people's necks?"

Suddenly, one of the team members asked curiously, "If they come up and break our necks as soon as we look away, then can we keep it still if we blink with two eyes?" ”

"I don't know."

The SWAT team leader shrugged, "Okay, I'll blink in two seconds, you two keep an eye on it." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes before looking at the statue again, "I don't recommend you to do this, though, although I know that many of the team members don't believe that the statue can move, but what if it's real?" I don't want to have my neck twisted like I did in the photos of the corpses I showed us......"

Just when the three of them were chatting happily, suddenly, there was a clanging sound behind the three of them at the same time, and the sound came from the door of the warehouse, as if something had knocked down the decorations of the warehouse and walked in from the outside world.

"Is it the containment team? We're a Hound Squad, and we're one of the targets in front of us, so please contain it now! ”

The SWAT team leader said immediately, but he didn't wait for the expected answer, but instead there was a crisp "cluck" sound, as if something had been wrung off......

The moment he heard this voice, the SWAT captain's pupils shrank, but before he could turn around, he heard another companion exclaim, "Charles, Charles, he's dead!" ”

"What happened?"

The SWAT team leader wanted to turn around and look behind him, but when he thought of his superior's order, he actually held back his instinct and asked loudly.

"It's another statue......"

The voice had changed from disdain to crying, "It snapped Charles's neck, before I came to my senses!" ”

Hearing the other party's wail, the SWAT team leader suddenly felt a chill in his heart, "Wait, you mean, you're looking at another statue now?" ”

"Yes, I'm staring at the statue that killed Charles, it's still holding its hand, chief, I don't want to die!"

"Hey, you'll be fine, but only if you don't blink, you know?"

Hearing this bad news in vain, the SWAT team leader almost flew out of his mind, and even he heard a low "ho-ho" sound, which was the sound of Charles's lungs being unable to store air after his neck was twisted off!

But even so, he still didn't dare to turn around, and even kept comforting his companions behind him, and for a while, the cold sweat on his forehead fell!

"But chief, I'm going to be unable to hold on......"

"Shut up, you must persevere, the containment team is about to arrive, you must hold on to ......"

Hearing the desperate voice of his teammates behind him, the SWAT team leader was even more nervous, but before he could finish speaking, the familiar "cluck" sound came again!

"Is it ......?"

The SWAT team leader finally couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled out his gun and shot directly at the statue in front of him, but at the same time as shooting a few holes in the statue in front of him, he was just about to turn around and shoot the other one, but the next second he suddenly felt numb all over his body, and then there was a third "cluck" sound in his ears again!

Only this time, the voice came from his own neck......

Poof!

The SWAT team leader's body fell heavily to the ground, he convulsed, and in his increasingly blurred vision, he could only see two angels standing in front of him, their hands outstretched, as if trying to redeem their souls......

"Ho...... Ho ......"

The SWAT team leader's lips squirmed slightly, but the "God forbid" never came out, and after a few seconds, he lost consciousness forever......

A few minutes later, a large pickup truck drove down the road, the windows of this pickup truck were reinforced with a large amount of steel, and in the rear compartment of the front of the car was a large iron cabinet made of steel, one meter wide and two meters long.

There are a lot of welds and thick iron bolts on the iron cabinet, which obviously has not been carefully polished, but was moved as soon as it was built.

Inside the car, there are four specially armed SWAT officers, the improvised containment team of the Los Angeles police, whose mission is to keep the statue inside through an iron cabinet for effective containment.

It's just that when they arrived at the scene with the iron coffin, all they saw was the gradually cold corpses of the three hounds.

And those two statues have disappeared without a trace......

……

As the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky, a black shadow flew down from the sky and landed on the roof of a tall building not far from the warehouse district of Helrank.

The camera pulled in, and it was Chen Chen who had returned from the Rocky Mountains who landed.

However, Chen Chen's face at this time was not good-looking, he couldn't help but look tired and pale, and as soon as he landed, he gasped for breath.

Obviously, for him, flying continuously across thousands of kilometers and flying at supersonic speed is still a bit reluctant.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a high-intensity field ......"

Chen Chen took a deep breath and looked at the warehouses stretching into the sky in the distance with some apprehension, "X, what is the current situation of the Hycock warehouse area?" ”

"There are many casualties."

Little X's voice came, "Unlike the containment results of the Quantum Laboratory, although there are more angel statues in the Quantum Laboratory, the containment is extremely smooth because they are all locked up in the laboratory by you. ”

"However, because of the vast area of the Hycock warehouse area, it is difficult to search, so at this time it has lost more than 20 special police officers, and only two statues have been contained, and at least two have not been found."

"There's no way around it."

Chen Chen waved his hand, but breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as those two statues don't run out, if they run into Los Angeles, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"But Godfather, I have one more thing to report."

Saying that, Xiao X said again, "At present, the four black knights are chasing the man named Kate, but the situation is not good......

"What's the wrong way?"

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.

"As an intelligent being, I know that I shouldn't judge things by the metaphysical unit of 'luck', but the truth is that the human named Kate does have indescribable good luck......"

Xiao X's voice was a little aggrieved, "In order to improve the efficiency of the pursuit, I divided the four black knights into two groups, one group pursued behind the target, and one group ambushed in front of the target, but no matter how the black knight shot, even using a firearm, he didn't catch up with the other party." ”

"Not only that, but in the process of pursuit, two black knights were seriously injured, and one black knight was crushed by the truck behind him after being thrown off the car by his target, and had to withdraw from the pursuit;"

"In addition, there is also a black knight who was chasing the target into an alley, and was shot in the back of the neck by the other party, detonating the God chip on the spot, so that the remaining black knights had to stop the chase and dispose of the dead black knight's body first."

Little X's voice gushed, "And the target almost never stops when fleeing, always being able to meet other people's help on the way, and even once the black knight has caught the target, but before he can crush the target's neck, he was hit by the chandelier that was destroyed during the previous fight......"

"In short, it's as if our Black Knight has been cursed in some way, and the other party is a lucky child, no matter how desperate he is, he can save the day, and keep moving, I'm afraid the target will reach Los Angeles tonight at the latest."

Hearing Xiao X's complaints, Chen Chen didn't show a strange look, because these scenes in Xiao X's mouth, he had even seen them on the "Life and Death Crisis: Shocking Plan" three years ago.

With Chen Chen's memory ability, as long as Xiao X said it, he could find the corresponding pictures from the movie, because these are all plots that appeared in the movie, and the part where the lower body of the black knight was crushed was the scene of the road chase scene in the middle of the intermission.

Not only that, Chen Chen originally planned to send ten black knights to hunt down Kate, but who would have expected that there would be an out-of-control memetic effect in Los Angeles, so Chen Chen finally sent only four black knights there.

Now that it seems so, even the number of villains in the movie is right......

"It's a pity that I can't get out of the way because I'm involved, otherwise I'd have to see it for myself."

Chen Chen was a little helpless, but then changed the topic, "Now is not the time to think about this, X, have you found the reason for the appearance of these angels?" ”

"What do you mean ......"

Little X hesitated.

"Over there in the quantum lab, why are there more than twenty angel statues?"

Chen Chen immediately asked, "Are those statues formed by humans after watching the video calculated by 'Adam'?" ”

"This guess can basically be confirmed!"

Little X immediately replied, "The number of representatives in the quantum laboratory from all continents, that is, the number of 'shield bearers' is a total of twenty-three, which just corresponds to the number of statues you found, and the 'shield holders' are the most powerful people in the quantum laboratory, and every time Adam calculates something, they are also the first to get the answer, so it is certain that they have all seen that video." ”

"I see, after watching that video, will you be infected with the angel meme and turn into a new angel statue?"

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked again, "Then what about looking at the angel statue, will there be a situation like a memetic pattern?" ”

"There are no findings at the moment."

Little X continued to answer, "Whether it is the Quantum Lab or the Hyperark warehouse area, all the police and military in charge of containment have not shown signs of being infected with the meme due to contact or eye contact with the angel statue. ”

"Good."

Chen Chen nodded, he thought that since the video predicted by Adam had the nature of memetic infection, there was a high chance that the statue itself also had this infectious ability, so he didn't even dare to look at the other party with his eyes.

But now it seems that the statue is not so lethal.

However, in this case, then the next situation is very easy to handle, although the Los Angeles police have suffered heavy losses, under the pressure of the higher-ups, they are still dutifully searching for the remaining two statues hidden in the warehouse area of Hycock.

As long as the remaining two angel statues are found and successfully contained, the memetic incident can be brought to a perfect end.

Then, it's time to get the protagonist Kate and a showdown with the world.

However, just when Chen Chen thought that everything was about to settle, Xiao X's voice suddenly became urgent, and she said hurriedly, "Your Excellency Godfather, I just received news that there is a special situation at the Los Angeles City Hall!" ”

Chen Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, he raised his head and looked in the direction of downtown Los Angeles, and said worriedly, "Don't tell me that the city hall has a memetic effect......

"Unfortunately, yes!"

Little X immediately replied, "I intercepted it from the network of the city hall, and there was suddenly an angel statue inside the city hall without warning, and there were more than one!" ”
