4. Butterflies in the night
In the middle of the night, Shao Hu returned to the battlefield ten years ago in a dream, charging with his brothers, was hit by a cannonball, his body was thrown into the air, and he fell to the ground fiercely, his limbs were broken, and he couldn't move......
Over the years, Shao Hu doesn't know how many such nightmares he had, dying again and again, alas, so he often thought: It would be great if he died ten years ago.
Shao Hu sweated profusely, washed like water, and reached out to turn on the light. In the haze, a black hole pointed at him, crushing him to the bed.
"Don't move! Don't make a sound! ”
Listen to the voice is a woman.
After four or five seconds, Shao Hu's eyes adjusted to the dark environment and made out that she was the woman he had seen in the main hall tonight.
Shao Hu said: "You are looking for the wrong person, right? I am not the owner of this house. ”
"That's right, you are Shao Hu who just came from Dawn City today, and I am looking for you." She lit her gun and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I don't know."
She snorted and sneered, and said, "I heard the conversation between the two of you, and Lao Zhang wants to ask you to be his deputy." ”
"I haven't decided yet. Why did you come to me? ”
She retreated and sat back on a chair, the muzzle of the gun still pointed at Shao Hu, and said: "I know your past, I admire you as a person, you choose to fight for justice, even if the outcome is failure." ”
Shao Hu smiled and asked, "What does this have to do with you?" ”
"Of course it has something to do with me. There is a war coming now, and I hope you don't take the side of evil. ”
'Who's on the side of evil?' Presbyterian'? 'White Light Society'? ”
"I didn't say I stood for justice, and I didn't force you to be on my side. I hope to agree to Lao Zhang's request to be his deputy. ”
"Why?"
She took out an old mobile phone and threw it on the bed, saying, "Of course you see the true face of the 'Presbyterian Church', please contact me." ”
"Listen to your words as if you know their secrets."
"If I say it now, you won't believe it. You follow Lao Zhang and look at it with your own eyes. With that, she withdrew from the room.
This woman is Black Butterfly.
She rode her motorcycle across the street, to the back of a nightclub down the hill, and knocked on a door with a code.
The door opened, and a young man led her into the basement. There are two chairs in the middle of the house, one with a person tied to it, the other with an empty chair, and various computer instruments on the table behind it. The young man who had fought the enemy with a fire knife on the mountain tonight was also there, and Black Butterfly asked him, "Little wolf, are you ready?" ”
"Ready."
Black Butterfly nodded, pulled out the weapon under her and placed it on the table, then sat down in her chair.
The kidnapped man asked Black Butterfly and said, "I'm just a little person, I don't know any secrets. It's useless for you to torture me. ”
The young man who led the black butterfly in took a syringe and said, "We don't torture you, we just let you sleep." As he spoke, the tip of the needle plunged into the man's neck, and half a cartridge of potion was poured into it. The man's eyes were closed, his head tilted, and he fell asleep.
"How long does it take to get a copy out?" Black Butterfly asked.
"Half an hour." As he spoke, the young man picked up a helmet from the table, with a cluster of data cables connected to the computer at the end, and pressed the switch on the helmet, only to see countless wriggling tentacles sticking out of the helmet, as if it were a living body.
The tentacles clung to the man's scalp in search of pores, and they burrowed into it. So a video of the inside of the brain appeared on the computer monitor, and the thousands of antennae connected to the central nervous system of the brain.
"Pick it up for me." Black Butterfly said to the young man.
"Sister!" The little wolf came up to her and said, "It's dangerous, let me come." ”
"Nope! I'm ready to infiltrate their base, I need to know everything he knows, and I'm going to have to take a risk. Black Butterfly instructed the young man again: "Xiaofeng, give me an injection." ”
Xiaofeng suggested: "We can first back up his brain and send it to the research laboratory to sift out useful information." ”
"We don't have that time." Black Butterfly said firmly, "I see that they have moved their troops to the border, and maybe there will be an exchange of fire soon." Hurry up and do it for me! ”
Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly and injected the black butterfly.
The little wolf asked Xiaofeng: "If you copy that person's entire brain data into Sister Die's brain, what will happen at worst?" ”
"Schizophrenia."
"Huh?"
"Two personalities share the same brain, don't you think?"
After the computer was copied, Xiaofeng put a helmet on Black Butterfly and sent the data from the computer to her brain. A pained look appeared on her face.
The two of them watched Black Butterfly sweat on her head, and they were so anxious that they were at a loss.
At this time, Black Butterfly saw everything that the person had experienced in her brain, especially today's day's trip, where she went, who she saw, what she did, and she also felt the darkness and pain of that person......
When it was over, they took off her helmet. She tried to stand up but felt dizzy, and after saying "I know where the professor is", she took an unsteady step and fell to the ground.
The two of them hurriedly helped her to the bedroom inside to rest.
At four o'clock in the morning, the residents of Dawn City were awakened by the rumbling thunder, thinking that it was going to rain, but looking out of the window, they found that the lightning and thunder had occurred on the top of the Great Snow Mountain, and they all knew that something had happened on the mountain.
The army that attacked Beishan was led by Brother Zhang. After an hour-long shelling, the first line of defense in Kitayama turned into a sea of fire, and the fort buildings were razed to the ground.
Shao Hu also woke up. The sound of those shells was deafening. The smell of gunsmoke sparked his nerves, which had been numb for years, and he knew he had to act and find a reason to live, or die in this war. So he picked up the mobile phone left by Black Butterfly and called her, and only said: "I'm going to war, you have to live." ”
Black Butterfly was sitting in a car on the dark road, and only said, "I'm not going to die." ”
There is a path behind the main hall. Taking advantage of the cover of night, the three Black Butterflies bypassed from here to Nanshan.
There is a lake with an ancient building on the side, and the room is lit with lights and the sound of people making noise can be heard inside. The little wolf asked in a low voice, "Is the professor still inside?" ”
Black Butterfly said, "The last time the man saw the professor was here." Little wolf, you and I go down, Xiaofeng stays here to take the wind. With that, he jumped down and landed lightly in a bush.
The little wolf floated with him.
The two of them hid in the bushes and watched carefully, and the noise came from the room to the east, but the room in the middle was unusually quiet. The little wolf was about to rush over, but the black butterfly grabbed him, and sure enough, at this moment, the door in the middle rang, and a figure jumped out! Immediately afterward, an attendant came out. Three people also rushed out of the east room, all dressed in hardcover, armed with firearms, and shouted: "Who?!" Who?! What people?! ”
The man standing at the middle gate was their leader. The three of them stood with their hands down. The chief shouted, "Why are you making a lot of noise?" ”
One replied, "The night is cold, let's drink some wine to warm up." ”
"Drinking?" When the leader heard this, he became angry and scolded: "Bastard, do you know what time it is? ”
The three of them didn't dare to speak, and they all lowered their heads and lowered their heads.
The leader then said, "I'll go to the elders, you take good care of this place, and if something happens, I'll depose the three of you!" After saying that, he took his entourage and left.
The three of them walked into the middle room and closed the door.
The little wolf whispered to Black Butterfly, "That guy was following me last night, and he's a great character. ”
Black Butterfly said, "I know. He is the Captain of the Elder's Secret Guard. With that, he made a dozen gestures for the little wolf to follow.
The two of them bent down and walked briskly to the window of the middle room, and peeked inside, where the three of them were sitting and drinking tea. Black Butterfly said in sign language that she would solve the two people who were sitting, and let the little wolf solve the one who was making tea. The little wolf nodded in agreement.
Black Butterfly got up and kicked open the door, fired two shots in succession, and the two people fell to the ground in response, leaving the man in shock, and was about to reach out and touch the gun, the little wolf had already raised his knife and fell, and a bright light flashed over and slashed the man to the ground, and then closed the middle door.
In this room, there was a screen against the north wall, and Black Butterfly led the wolf to the back of the screen, where there was a small hole and the stairs extended down. The two tiptoed down.
The light in the passage was dim, and after turning twice, and going down three or four steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, and from a door at the end emanated a white light, very bright.
Black Butterfly stopped and instructed the little wolf, "Inside is the research room of the 'Council of Elders', be careful!" ”
The little wolf slashed the knife horizontally, the blade glowed white, and said, "Whoever he is, I'll cut it all the way!" ”
Black Butterfly took out the card and swiped the access control, opened the door and broke in with the little wolf, in front of him was a white and swaying passage, and twenty or thirty guards poured out at the end, and shot at them head-on.
The little wolf rounded the fire knife and pushed the bullet away. Black Butterfly jumped on the right wall with his right foot, jumped ten meters forward with a force, and landed on the left wall.
The guards were flanked from the front and rear, and there was great confusion. The little wolf saw the opportunity to split the fire, only to see that the fire was hit by a black mark on the body, which was an inch, and it was scorched inside and out. Black Butterfly's twin guns are also very powerful, and the bullets go out, whether they hit the body or the wall, they all pierced a big hole. In the blink of an eye, the guards were all lying on the ground, and there was not a single one left.
The two of them walked into the elevator, and when they came out, they saw the research room.
Black Butterfly kicked the door open with two guns, and the doctors and nurses inside were frightened and raised their hands in surrender. There was a young girl strapped to the hospital bed, wearing a helmet, and beams of white light could be seen on the connected monitor, hitting her brain again and again.
Black Butterfly pointed a gun at the doctor and asked, "What is this for?" ”
The doctor timidly said, "Brain cleansing." ”
Black Butterfly asked again, "What about the professor?" ”
"Taken away."
"Where did you take it?"
"The captain of the escort team took away—"
Black Butterfly was about to ask again, and the little wolf standing at the door shouted, "Someone is here again!" Sister, let's evacuate quickly! When Black Butterfly heard this, she pointed a gun at the doctor and said, "Untie her." The doctor hurried over and removed the girl's helmet and untied the straps on her hands and feet. Black Butterfly said, "Hold her and come with us!" ”
A group of soldiers poured into the corridor outside.
Black Butterfly threw two bombs at it, knocking the wall down. Then the four of them walked deeper into the passage.
There was a room not far away, and the four of them hid in it, and first helped the girl to the sofa to rest. Then Black Butterfly asked the doctor, "Will she ever recover?" ”
The doctor shook his head and said, "Her brain has been cleansed by a seventh, and even if she wakes up, those fragmentary memories can't be pieced together, she doesn't know who she is, she doesn't know what's missing in her brain, she can't find the answer, and she will be driven crazy in the end." ”
The little wolf asked, "What are you doing that?" ”
The doctor replied, "It was an order from the 'Council of Elders' and they told us to wash her out." ”
Black Butterfly asked again, "What do you want to do with this girl after cleaning?" ”
The doctor didn't dare to answer, but now that he was being held hostage by the enemy, he couldn't help but answer: "When this girl's brain is cleaned, we will copy all the brain data of another person into this girl's brain as requested......
The little wolf interjected, "In other words, you have mastered the technology of copying brains at will?" ”
The doctor nodded.
Black Butterfly smiled coldly and asked, "The rejuvenation performed by your 'elder' yesterday is actually this technology?" ”
The doctor nodded again.
Black Butterfly said, "This is your 'art of immortality'?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The doctor explained, "Everyone wants to live forever, but this is the only way for us to study and study." ”
"It's ridiculous!" Little Wolf said.
"Actually......" the doctor said intermittently, "such a technique...... Nor are we ...... Invented. ”
"Of course not you!" Black Butterfly said angrily, "You took our professor and forced him to ask him, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The doctor nodded again.
The little wolf took out his mobile phone and asked the doctor, "How many experiments did you do before changing the body of the elder?" ”
The doctor bowed his head and said nothing.
"Raise your head!" The little wolf snapped, "Look at this picture! "That's a picture of a young girl." You've experimented on her? ”
The doctor looked up, quickly lowered his head, and said, "They forced me to do it." ”
"She's my sister!" The little wolf said and took out the fire knife and made a gesture to cut it down - "Little wolf! Black Butterfly called out to him. The little wolf shook his hand and cut the table next to him in half, and walked away in a rage.
The doctor shuddered with fear.
Black Butterfly held back her tears and asked, "Have you seen the Elder?" Where is he hidden? ”
The doctor stammered, "The main hall ...... Behind...... ...... in that attic."
Black Butterfly said, "He's not there, I've been in all of your buildings on the ground of Nanshan." ”
The doctor listened, thought for a moment and said, "That's only underground." ”
"Which building is underground?"
"The Great Hall. Maybe in the basement of the basilica. It was there that the elder 'rejuvenated' did it, and there were many rooms in it. ”
"Where do you get in?"
"I followed them down the attic."
"Hmm...... Are there any other entrances? There can't be just one. ”
"I've heard there's a secret passage."
"Where?"
"I don't know, I've only heard that the passage was used to escape in the event of an accident."
Hu Die listened to the pondering for a while, thought of a place, and then took out his mobile phone to contact Xiaofeng on the ground, and asked, "Have you seen our location?" ”
Xiao Feng was staring at a green instrument, and said as he walked forward, "I'm right above you, you hold on." With that, he took out a three-legged device from his backpack, pointed the muzzle of the gun to the ground, and as soon as he started it, he saw a laser draw a circle with a diameter of one meter, and then rotate it, and the mountain of the circle turned into lime.
After the wolf escaped from the hole with the girl on his back, Black Butterfly stunned the doctor with a slap and threw him into the hallway, then ran forward and disappeared into the darkness.
Xiaofeng threw a bomb under the round hole, and with a muffled sound, the ground sank.
