Chapter 155: Trial and Punishment
After a day of rest, Ren Yuan finally returned to his peak state.
Early the next morning, Yu Qian and Ren Yuan rushed to the headquarters to make a report, Zhang Changxu, Wu Qinyuan and the mercenary team gathered in the conference room, but it was disappointing that Ren Yuan did not give more information. According to Ren Yuan, after separation, the main brain and the backup brain cannot share information. All he could confirm was the time of the Mastermind's death, and it wasn't clear what happened after that.
"But what I know for sure is that it wasn't just the three high-ranking aliens who were ambushing me at the time."
"How?" Zhang Changxu asked
"If it's just the three of them, it's not that easy to keep me. In addition, I heard at least six heartbeats and breathing sounds. Ren Yuan said firmly
"So there are six people on the other side?" Xiaoxin frowned and asked
"Not necessarily, if you want to judge the specific number of Inhumans, you have to judge from the sources of abnormal fluctuations. Some Inhumans may not have a heartbeat, while others may have plural hearts. For example, although I have only one heart, I have two sets of breaths. Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "What is the situation of the other party, and there is another reconnaissance." ”
Zhang Changxu nodded and asked, "Why can the other party block the monitoring of Skynet, have you figured it out?" ”
"This, I originally thought that the main brain could escape and leave relatively early, so the specific reason is not very clear. But roughly I have two guesses, presumably the other party can block Skynet by these two means. ”
"How?"
"The first is to slowly escalate the anomalous volatility in the region with a very low amplitude. As long as the amount of a single increase does not exceed the minimum threshold that can be observed, a stable force field with a high degree of anomaly can be constructed by accumulating over a long period of time. At that time, as long as the abnormal fluctuations that erupted inside could not exceed it, it would naturally not be discovered. ”
"High enough to mask your anomalous fluctuations in battle?" Zhang Changxu couldn't help but express his doubts
"That's certainly not enough, so I suspect there's a second way to use it together." Ren Yuan said in a deep voice, "Back then, the Zoroastrian Sect was not the most powerful of the four Adventists, but it was the one that lasted to the end and was closest to their goal, you know why, right?" ”
"You mean, the man is still alive?" Zhang Changxu was taken aback: "Didn't you kill him back then?" ”
"Now I doubt that I actually succeeded in killing him. For him, it is probably not impossible to really cheat to death. Ren Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "After all, even if there are captured sect members who identify them, who can guarantee that what those sect members see in their eyes is true?" ”
Yu Qian on the side was confused when he heard it, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"He calls himself a hermit, and the Sword Pavilion also calls him a hermit." Zhang Changxu explained, "It is a very special alien who can eliminate his own sense of existence, and can make others gain this ability for a certain period of time through some means. ”
"Eliminate the sense of presence?" Yu Qian thought for a while and asked, "Is it the kind of person who can make ordinary people forget that they have seen this person, even if they communicate with him in person, they can't remember what they look like?" ”
"Have you ever been in this situation?"
"When investigating Li Yaozhan's suicide case, the man in black who claimed to be Prometheus walked through the streets in broad daylight, but he couldn't find a single witness. Even the two waiters he spoke to were very vaguely described. ”
Ren Yuan smiled and said, "That's true, but you can't conclude that he is a hermit because of this." There are not a few Inhumans who can reduce their sense of existence, but there are only Inhumans who can cover high-level abnormal fluctuations on a large scale, and those who are registered are really rare. Speaking of which, if I'm not mistaken, Commissioner Li, who died a while ago, seems to have this ability? It can't be a coincidence, right? Could it be that he is..."
"Don't take the conversation off the rails." Zhang Changxu interrupted Ren Yuan's words in a cold voice, "Let's get back to the point, if it is really the hermit himself, then we can basically be sure that this time we are facing the remnants of ten years ago, right?" ”
"I can't say that, but I can't rule it out." Ren Yuan said, "The most troublesome part now is that the other party's power is far beyond our expectations, and now it seems that in terms of scale, it is no less likely than ten years ago." I need authorization. ”
"Do you think that there are double digits of Inhumans lurking in S City now?" Xiaoxin obviously didn't quite believe it, "Is it possible?" ”
"If the hermit is really alive, then it is not impossible to go to the top three digits." Ren Yuan sneered and turned his head to look at Zhang Changxu, "If Commissioner Li is still alive, he must understand how far a hermit can go." ”
Zhang Changxu closed his lips, frowned for a long time, and after thinking twice, he cautiously said, "My authority can only be opened to you to partially authorize, I need you to give you the necessary information, otherwise I can't convince Liu Kong to guard the town." The customized equipment for you has been delivered today, and you can return to the sixth to receive it later, and I can report on the issue of open licensing. ”
After that, the six of them talked about the rest of the questions and went back to their respective countries.
It was already lunch time when he returned to Base No. 6, and as soon as Yu Qian pushed the door, he saw a tall old man in his early fifties sitting in the middle of the living room, leisurely drinking tea. Jiang Ziwen, who was sitting opposite him, looked nervous and uneasy, and when he turned his head and saw the two of them entering the door, a happy expression immediately bloomed on his face, Yu Qian was very sure that this was the first time he saw Ziwen smile at Ren Yuanneng.
Ren Yuan looked at the old man on the sofa and took the lead in greeting
"Yo, old man Nagi, why didn't you wear your big cloak today?"
"It's not suitable to dress up so long distances." The old man turned his head to look at Ren Yuan, and said with a smile, "It's always weird to be called an old man by you." ”
Seeing the old man's face, Yu Qian finally knew why Jiang Ziwen was so restrained. Under his short maroon hair, the old man's face was not at all human, revealing a heavy iron gray, and was covered with pitted burns. A pair of eyes were red and frighteningly bloodshot, reflecting a pair of eyes that were as iron gray as their faces. Coupled with a hooked nose with high cheekbones, if it weren't for the fluent northern official dialect, it would be more like a Russian who has lived in the cold zone for a long time.
Looking at this face, Yu Qian subconsciously popped up a word in his mind: fire scene.
"You don't cover your face, see what you scare the little girl." Ren Yuan unscrupulously joked with the old man's face
"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Ziwen hurriedly shook his head and denied it
"Why did you come here yourself?" Ren Yuan took over the topic, turned his head to Yu Qian and said, "Let me introduce to you, at this time, Nagi Dou, a famous weapon forging master in the ministry. His previous weapon was built by him. ”
The three of them had closed their greetings, and Jiang Ziwen sneaked back upstairs.
"I'm not just here to send you weapons. Your sword isn't ready yet, I'm going to spend a few days in S City to finish it. Nagito smiled, and the scarred iron blue face was a little terrifying.
"Didn't do a good job? So troublesome? Ren Yuan was curious
"This time, considering the problem of portability, it has been redesigned, and there are some places where I still need to ask for your opinion."
"Oh, that's right." Ren Yuan thought about it, seemed to think of something, smiled lightly, and didn't get entangled, "The sword is not done, what you sent is a gun?" ”
"Well, do you want to try it now?"
"I can't ask for it." Ren Yuan nodded excitedly, and looked back at Yu Qian, "If you want what kind of weapon, you might as well talk to Old Man Nagi and let him make you a few, it's a rare opportunity." ”
"Well, that's not good." Yu Qian pushed and dragged the road
"It's okay, Mr. Yu doesn't need to open his mouth, making weapons is one of the few things I'm good at." Nagito was very enthusiastic, "You are Ren Yuan's new Long Mu, right?" It's better to bring a handy firearm. ”
The three of them descended to the practice room on the third basement floor, sat down on the high platform, and Nagito placed a metal suitcase on the table. A concealed buckle was lifted, and two pistols, one black and one white, were lying inside.
Of course, in Yu Qian's opinion, the white pistol is only similar to a pistol in appearance, and in his cognition, it should be called a cannon.
"How's it going, do you like it?" Nagito pushed the box in front of the two of them
Ren Yuan reached out and took out the silver-white pistol and looked at it carefully.
"Is this a 'judgment'?"
"Yes, 22.5mm caliber, 28.3 cm long, 1644g in weight, seven rounds. Special nitrogen extended-range ammunition adopts inertial locking structure and single-action trigger structure with integrated pull rod. Made of nickel-chrome alloy, it is also equipped with two alloy blade springs at the grip, which can be used as a tomahawk when held upside down. ”
Ren Yuan was stunned for a moment, flipped the pistol in his hand, and pulled the lock at the grip. Two blades more than seven centimeters long pop out from under the grip, and if you hold the head of the spear, you can really use it as a hand axe.
"It's kind of interesting, this is 'judgment', so this is 'punishment'?" Ren Yuan took out another black pistol from inside
"Well, 11.8mm caliber, 28.3 cm long, 1034g weight, 22 rounds of ammunition, if you are not used to it, you can adjust the weight. Rotary locking structure, single-action linkage switching, tungsten manganese alloy manufacturing. The grip there is the same setting. ”
Ren Yuan played with the two guns in his hands, and then began to disassemble them.
"Any suggestions?" Nagito asked with a smile
"Since you did it, of course I'm relieved. Add the weight of the punishment, it's very uncomfortable to use one light and one heavy. In addition, when will the 'sin' be done? ”
"Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days. But I've got you another knife that you can make do with first. Nagito carried the guitar case at his feet onto the table and opened it.
Yu Qian took a look and found that there was a sheathed Japanese knife stored in the box, and the scabbard was bright red. Reach out and take it out slowly, the blade is shining with dazzling light, the blade marks are quite new and not like antiquities, and the knife inscription is engraved with "Lin, Bing, Fight, Who, Both, Column, Array, In, Front" nine seal characters. Yu Qian didn't know much about Japanese swords, and he didn't know what was special about this sword, so he turned his head and asked Ren Yuan.
"Huh?" Ren Yuan put aside the two guns of the reassembled trial and punishment, took the long knife from Yu Qian's hand, and frowned, "This knife looks familiar, and Izumi is sure of it?" ”
"Isn't this a national treasure-level sword?" Yu Qian said strangely
"It's a copy." Ren Yuan explained, "It's just borrowing the fame he has accumulated by himself, and now I don't like to blow Japanese swords in various works." Borrowing widely circulated legends and cognitions to strengthen anomalies is a common trick in the Inhuman circle, and the same is true for their respective titles. In fact, in terms of practicality, these famous knives are really not good. ”
"But if it's you, it's actually enough to hold a wooden stick." Nagito teased
"It's not that easy, I was smashed by a knife and hand the night before, and this time my opponent is in some trouble." Ren Yuan shook his head: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be in a hurry to ask you if Sin Yan has done a good job." ”
Yu Qian has no interest in swords, and he is not very good at cold soldiers, but he knows a lot about firearms. If the scarface old man in front of him named Nagi Dou was really a master of forging weapons as Ren Yuan said, then he couldn't help but have a question mark in his heart at this moment.
The black punishment aside, this caliber has exceeded the scope of the gun trial, in his opinion, except for the appearance, he can't find any advantages, just in the process of Ren Yuan's dismantling and fighting just now, he found a lot of slots.
Seeing Ren Yuan get off the high platform and walk towards the shooting range with his gun, Yu Qian couldn't help but ask
"Master Nagi, I have a few questions, I don't know if to talk about it?"
