Chapter 141: The Mystery of Death

Yu Qian looked at Ren Yuan, who was covered with frost, thought about it and said

"It's not surprising, after all, your previous performance was a bit... The ministry must not be at ease. ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with me? Aren't they the ones who begged me to come out? Ren Yuan sneered and said, "Could it be that I'm crying and shouting to come out?" ”

"Let's put aside the practices of the ministry first, didn't you also provoke the mercenary in order to test the details of the mercenary?"

"I know that someone is trying to calculate me, but I can't pretend to be stupid."

"It's because of you that the ministry doesn't feel at ease with you." Yu Qian said angrily

"How am I?" Ren Yuan is dissatisfied with "I am at the end of my line, and I am upright!" ”

"Didn't you kill four dragon herds yet?" Yu Qian retorted, "You have a criminal record, and it's normal for the ministry to be uneasy." This time you reacted so violently, the ministry still can't rest assured, if you want to build trust, one party must give in first. ”

"I killed four dragon herdsmen, did Zhang Changxu tell you, or did it appear in the archives?" Ren Yuan asked with a squint

"Uh... My authority is too low, and I can't see too many files, it was Commander Zhang who told me. Yu Qian didn't lie, and said honestly, "He said that you were sentenced to life imprisonment because you killed Long Mu." He also said that the mortality rate of your dragon herd is 100 percent. ”

"He's talkative, and it sounds like that." Ren Yuan sneered, "The four dragon pastors before me did die, but things are not what you think. Zhang Changxu said this to you because he hoped that you wouldn't get too close to me, and I guess he also warned you not to believe what I said, right? ”

"It's not..."Yu Qian thought that Jiang Ziwen had relayed it, not to say it himself, and he didn't lie

"As for my four dragon herdsmen, they are all dead, but the first three died in accidents and not by me. Whether you believe it or not, when you reach a higher level, you can go to the system archives to check it yourself. Ren Yuan said in a deep voice

"I believe in you."

"As for the fourth Long Mu, your predecessor..."Ren Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly, "I don't know what happened. ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Qian couldn't help but ask curiously

"Wu Qinyuan, do you know each other?"

"Oh, that's the old professor who works in the city's museum management, right? I remember that he was actually the commander of the Coyote Brigade in S City? ”

"Well, my last Long Mu Wan'er was his granddaughter." Ren Yuan's voice was faintly sad, "How much do you know about that action ten years ago?" ”

"I didn't see much, but I got a rough idea last night. It's called 'Operation Resistance', right? Said that it was the No. 3 Alien Riot, which attracted four Adventists? ”

"Yes, in fact, the Adventists are just a general term used within the Ministry of Disasters, and you will know why they are called that later. However, there are many organizations that want to exploit and control the Xenologous in reality, and their motives are very strange, if not that most of them have no interest in the entities that have descended from the Xenologous. Ren Yuan said lightly, "But no matter what, after all, it is the existence of another world, and any behavior related to it is absolutely unacceptable." “

"Ten years ago, as a combat officer dealing with the No. 3 anomaly of the disaster department, I was transferred from the Northeast Division to S City of the Southeast Division to implement the 'Resistance Plan', and Wan'er was responsible for partnering with me at that time."

"And what about later?" Yu Qian keenly noticed that Ren Yuan's tone was quite strange when he said the name of his predecessor Long Mu, and asked quietly

"At first, the operation went well, the outbreak of Xenomorph No. 3 was an emergency, and the four gathered Adventists had no foundation and lacked foundation in the country, and three of them were easily eliminated by me."

"Something wrong with the last one?"

"Yes, Zoroastrians, your daughter Yu Yao also died at their hands." Ren Yuan's eyes were ethereal, and he fell into the memory, and his voice became more and more hoarse, "Of the four Advent Sects, they are the only ones who can be regarded as a real threat, and at the last moment, they are actually only one step away from communicating with the third foreign source. ”

"What will happen if you communicate?" Yu Qian asked curiously

"I don't know, anything unimaginable can happen, and you can never be sure what the Xenomorph can bring, but what is certain is that it must have very serious consequences." Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "I rushed into their location that day before their final ceremony was held and stopped this disaster. ”

"So Operation Resistance was a success, wasn't it?"

"This is the official statement, in fact, what happened that day, I don't know..."Ren Yuan paused slightly, Mu Ran said

"Weren't you there? How could it not be known? Yu Qian was surprised

"Because as I was walking towards the altar, I was beheaded with a knife in the back." Ren Yuan stretched out his index finger and middle finger and scratched it in front of his mouth, "It's all cut off from the mouth up." ”

"But this injury is not fatal to me, but the trouble is that the situation at that time did not give me time to do another brain." Ren Yuan's voice gradually became excited, "I had a backup brain hidden in my chest at the time, I thought it was enough. But at that time, it was too close to the altar of communication..."

"And then?"

"Later, I received the impact of the alien source and lost my mind, and I didn't wake up until my head recovered, but it's all over..."Ren Yuan's fingers were deeply embedded in the sofa, and his voice was already a little distorted, "In front of me is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, stumps and broken arms everywhere, and Wan'er's torn corpse!" Her left leg is right in my mouth! ”

"So you killed her when she was unconscious?" Yu Qian asked

"Judging from the scene, it looks like this. But it doesn't make sense! Ren Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Wan'er was supposed to be more than seven hundred meters away from the scene to do communication support, why did she appear on the altar of the Zoroastrian Sect!" And who is the person who attacked me behind my back! There are major problems here! ”

"What's the problem?"

"I wasn't aware of the anomalous fluctuations behind it at all. It shows that the person who attacked me is not an alien. ”

"That's ordinary people?"

"But if it's an ordinary person, why didn't Wan'er, who was providing information support from a distance, remind me that there was someone behind me!" Ren Yuan looked at Yu Qian with red eyes, "Not only did Wan'er appear on the altar and die without explanation, but the camera on my chest and back also disappeared, and the storage equipment was all destroyed." Old fish, what do you think of this explanation? ”

"It's... Do you think someone killed Long Mu, destroyed all the evidence and blamed you? Yu Qian asked cautiously

"Regarding Wan'er's death, I don't want to shirk responsibility." Ren Yuan was silent for a moment, gradually calmed down, and buried his body in the sofa again, "It's just that I don't understand who can easily gain Wan'er's trust and successfully delete all the records." ”

"What do you mean..."Yu Qian finally understood the hidden meaning of Ren Yuan, if this is the case, then it is indeed from Ren Yuan's point of view, and there is no way to talk about trust in the Ministry of Disasters, "No matter how you say it, it can't be like this, right?" ”

"I certainly don't want that, so I hope you can help me." Ren Yuan looked at Yu Qian with blazing eyes, "If this time is really related to the remnants of the Zoroastrian sect ten years ago, I also hope to find out the truth with my own hands." Ten years ago, I was charged with killing my own dragon pastor, and now I want to find out the facts and give Wan'er's spirit in heaven an explanation. I know you're wary of me, but at least at work I want us to be honest with each other and get through this together. ”

"I see, I'll do everything I can to help you." Yu Qian said vigorously, "This is also for my daughter." But at this point, I've always had a doubt, I don't know if you can tell me. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? But it doesn't matter, as long as I can answer it, I'll tell you. Ren Yuan said with a smile

"It seems that the Ministry of Disasters is very wary of Inhumans? And how do I feel that you Inhumans don't seem to be very friendly to other Inhumans either, and you still say that mercenaries are also sinners? Yu Qian pondered the words, thinking about how not to offend Ren Yuan, and said cautiously

"Ah, that's normal. Aliens are terrible deserving people, and it's not strange to be discriminated against. Ren Yuan said calmly

"Is it sinful because of contact with a foreign source? There will be people like me who are just caught up in the anomaly, right? Yu Qian was a little puzzled

"So you're not an alien." Ren Yuan explained, "Only the Adventists will use the Divine Revelation to refer to the Derived Catalyst who has not yet established an independent reality. By the standards of the Ministry of Disasters, I'm an alien, and you're just an ordinary person. ”

"So there's no involuntary alienation?" Yu Qian was curious

"It seems that you don't know about Inhumans, let alone the independent reality of Inhumans." Ren Yuan smiled slightly and said, "We just retain the appearance of people, in fact, the inside has long deviated from humanity, and the moment we become strangers, we have no possibility of turning back." ”

"Old fish, you misunderstood one thing. It's not that you become an alien because you come into contact with an alien, it's because you become an alien and you inevitably come into contact with an alien. Before the second source was observed and identified, there was even a saying in the academic community that 'it is because there are aliens that there are aliens'. ”

"Why is that?"

"Take me as an example, do you think that normal people can recover from physical injuries out of thin air?" Ren Yuan pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically

"Of course not, it's not even in line with the laws of physics." Yu Qian said categorically

"Yes, and all this is because of the existence of the alien. What cannot be done in reality is done by the power of a different source. Let's take an analogy. Ren Yuan took out a piece of paper on the table, drew a circle on it, and threw the pen into the circle, "Can you push it out without touching the boundary of the circle?" ”

"This? It can't be done. Yu Qian looked down and shook his head

"This is the reality of the two-dimensional world." Ren Yuan stretched out his hand and picked up the pen, "But for our three-dimensional world, as long as you pick up the pen, you can put it outside without touching the boundary of the circle." In the same way, the so-called reality in our eyes is like a pen in a circle, and heterogeneous sources give this pen the power to jump out of two dimensions, which is called independent reality. ”

"So heterologous is a four-dimensional being? But Commander Zhang said not necessarily. ”

"Of course heterologous beings are not four-dimensional creatures, if there really are two-dimensional creatures, will they call us three-dimensional creatures?" Ren Yuan threw away his pen and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just using this analogy to help you understand the difference between us and Xenomorphism, in fact, we can't understand Xenoorigin at all, in fact, we don't even understand ourselves, do we?" ”

"Have you ever seen a two-dimensional creature? What about the four dimensions? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to define it by standards that none of us can understand? In short, xenologous beings are beings that we cannot understand, so the act of trying to understand it itself is meaningless. You just need to know, don't touch it. ”

"Even so." Yu Qian said, "Then the culprit should be the hand that grabbed this pen from you, right?" Why do you think this pen is wrong? ”

"Good question, that's why the academic community doesn't agree on the fundamental reason for the existence of heterogeneous sources in terms of dimension." Ren Yuan nodded approvingly and said, "Just like you don't care how many bacteria there will be on a grain of sand downstairs in your house, Xenogenus doesn't care about the existence of humans. But just like bacteria can parasitize the human body, communicating heterologous is not as complicated as breaking down dimensional walls in science fiction. ”

"Even relying only on individuals can successfully communicate with foreign sources!"
