November 25, half past six in the morning.

During the roll call, the wardener naturally found that Xian Xiaoxiao and her roommate were missing.

They immediately reported Professor Tang and went to check the surveillance; Judging from the surveillance footage, no one has ever come out of the dormitory since the lights went out.

It's a strange thing, but the wardens aren't agents and don't think about it that much, and now they're gone...... Just look for it.

In order to find the two escapees, the entire center, including the warden, did not eat breakfast.

From 7 a.m., the patients were ordered to stay in their rooms and not go out, and the doors to their dormitories were locked; The wardens conducted carpet searches throughout the center, under beds in every dormitory, under desks in every office, and in every corner of the classroom...... I've been looking for them all over.

But the result ...... Apparently still not.

For Kageori, taking advantage of the darkness to take someone away is too simple, even if you check all the street surveillance within a radius of ten miles, you can't find any trace of them.

This successful escape made Uncle Tang very unhappy.

After making sure that the two were no longer at the center, he did not immediately notify the parents of the escapees, but summoned all the patients to the large classroom used for the review class, and prepared to give them an "extra lesson" temporarily.

He wanted to tell the rest of the patients - don't think that if someone runs away, you can do the same.

He wanted to find a few people close to Xian Xiaoxiao to come out, and pull them to "treat" them on the grounds that they "didn't discover their allies' escape intentions in time".

Or, just find a few random people...... It's also okay to find a few people he is not used to watching, or who have improvised ideas, to come out and fix it.

In short, he wanted to vent because the incident made him feel that his majesty had been challenged.

However, at ten o'clock in the morning, when all the patients were gathered and Uncle Tang stood on the podium to prepare for the lecture...... Mutation, happened.

The patients...... Suddenly, the children began an organized riot.

In the first few years of the center's opening, there were also incidents of three or five people forming a gang and trying to violently resist or escape, but no matter how hard three or five teenagers worked, they could not be the opponent of a dozen or so middle-aged dormitory supervisors...... So those kids didn't make it in the end.

After a few incidents like this happened, Uncle Tang had a countermeasure, he continued to strengthen control and add provisions that needed to be sent for "treatment", so as to nip similar incidents in the bud.

After all these years of adjustment, there has been no example of more than four people in the center conspiring to resist.

I didn't expect ...... Today, there was a "collective rebellion" directly, and the more than 100 "patients" all participated in the action, and they all behaved as if they were enchanted, and everyone seemed to be very efficient and fearless, even if they were knocked down by the warden's fists and kicks or electric batons, they would immediately get up and rush forward again.

If I had to describe it, it was more like an attack by zombies or robots than a human uprising.

There is no doubt that this is the role of nanomechanical viruses......

The wardens were not controlled, because they had breaks and shifts, and even when they worked, they did not eat every meal in the cafeteria.

But in such a situation, the resistance of the wardens is immediately crushed, if not under control – and when they realize that the situation is out of control, their first instinct is to flee. Originally, for them, the warden's job was just a job, not a lifelong career, let alone loyalty...... They didn't want to let themselves suffer anything for the sake of Professor Tang or the center.

Pity...... It all happened so fast; If someone had turned around and ran away at the first moment of the riot, there might have been a chance to escape, but the wardens did not react in that way...... Three of the four fastest runners were intercepted in the first-floor hallway leading to the building's main entrance, and one was caught trying to hide in the women's restroom.

In less than five minutes, from the first floor to the fourth floor, all the wardens were pinned to the ground by the sick; Their countenances were distorted with fear...... They roared and screamed, struggling with all their strength, but it was undoubtedly futile, and those who were controlled by the mechanical virus would never be slackened in this wrestling, let alone frightened by them.

"Why should you be so scared?" After another moment, suddenly, all the patients ...... No matter where they were, they all spoke at the same second, and they said the same thing in unison.

This strange situation is as if more than a hundred voices are controlled by the same will...... It's unbelievable, but it's happening.

"Is there some instinct telling you that something more terrible than death is about to happen to you?" A few seconds later, as in the previous sentence, the patient spoke in unison again, "Huh...... But in reality, it doesn't necessarily happen, does it? ”

At the same time, outside the main building, on the parking lot.

Zilin has changed into a casual suit that he got out of nowhere, and walked towards the main building with a leisurely pace.

At this moment, he is holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, and the two sentences just now are all said by him into the walkie-talkie, and then "broadcast" through the mouth of each person who is controlled.

"Fear is just a choice, and the root of your fear is not the objective state of affairs that is happening, but the 'sin' in your heart.

"Sin is equal, and when people hurt others, they are actually changing themselves.

"Those who are a little smarter are aware of this; So when they plant the causes of sin, they reflect and revere them...... Even if the retribution may not come, they will make themselves aware accordingly.

"And you people...... It's a bit ridiculous to show this reaction when you go from being a perpetrator to being a victim of violence, right?

"Those who truly have a heart for healing and salvation are not afraid, because those who are steadfast in their faith ...... Regardless of what is done objectively, it is right or wrong, at least subjectively fearless.

"You are afraid because you know very well what you are doing.

"If you are willing to make a living by persecuting others, why don't you become aware that one day you will be swallowed up by sin?"

At this point, he happened to walk to the corridor on the first floor and stood in front of a warden.

"You...... What do you want to do......" the warden asked him in a trembling voice.

Zilin looked at each other condescendingly, and that look was not the eyes of a person or even an animal at all, but as if he was looking at a thing, a ...... Litter.

Zilin didn't answer the other party after all, he just bent down and lightly tapped the other party's shoulder with his index finger, and after a second...... The warden's body instantly turned into a puddle of liquid.

"Ahh Ahh

But Zilin's footsteps did not stop, and the patients who held the wardens were also indifferent, carrying out their mission like robots.

And just like that, layer by layer, he ...... Go up; Along the way, he turned all the subdued wardens into "corpses" with only their heads left, and finally ...... I came to the fifth floor.

Although the electronic door of the entire building is already fully open at this time, the door on the fifth floor is still closed.

This section of the corridor where the dean's office and the monitoring room are located uses a different system than the four floors below, and there is an independent backup generator, even if someone smashes the power supply box outside the building, the power here can be maintained for a long time.

"Uncle Tang, you're quite witty." Zilin walked to the electronic door, then stopped, he looked up at the camera above the door and said, "When you find that the situation is wrong, everyone else subconsciously runs downstairs, and you are the only one who runs upstairs instead." ”

He said unhurriedly, looking very calm: "You know very well that at your age, at this moment of 'flying separately when great calamity comes', eighty percent of them will be squeezed behind by the gang of housekeepers......; Even if they 'let the leader go first' and you manage to escape the building, you can still be chased by the children on the street and then killed or maimed in a very short time......," he paused, adding, "In the same way, it's not realistic to run away by car, and even if you do manage to get into the car, you will be stuck in the car and you won't be able to open the parking lot." So do the math...... Running to the exit is a dead end, and the real way to survive is to run to the safest place in this building to hide, quickly call the police, and wait for the police to come and control the situation before coming out. ”

Zilin's words, every sentence clearly reached Professor Tang's ears, because Professor Tang was in the monitoring room at this moment, sweating profusely watching the monitoring screen.

"You should already know that I'm capable by now, but you don't know why the call can't go out, right?" Zilin continued, "Actually, you don't have to worry about that kind of thing, since the resources at hand are strong enough to control more than a hundred people in this center and block the communication signal of this building...... It's easy. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment, giving Professor Tang some time to think.

"Uncle Tang, I know that you are watching me from the monitoring room, and I also know that there is a secret room in your office...... You're thinking about whether or not to get out of the surveillance room and hide in the secret room. "Every word of Zilin is like a wall...... These walls cut off Professor Tang's retreat and choice one by one, and gradually forced him into a desperate situation, "I might as well say it directly...... Opening this door, it's easy for me, and opening the door to your secret room, too. You know very well the situation in this center, as long as you cut off the communication with the outside world, you have a chance of being rescued in a short time...... I'm afraid it's very slim. ”

He licked his lips and smiled kindly, "Now, I'll give you two choices...... One, you yourself open this door and let me in; Second, I forced the door open and came in.

"If you choose one, I'll come in alone, without anyone, and all I'm going to do is talk to you, and when that's done, I'll leave.

"But if you pick two......"

He didn't finish his sentence, but paused again, and then added, "Oh, of course...... I can understand what worries you most; You can rest assured, I can swear...... I'm not going to kill you. Even if you choose not to open the door right now, I won't kill you. ”

After saying this, about twenty seconds later, the door ...... It's on.

Zilin smiled and walked in slowly.

As he reached the middle of the hallway, Professor Tang cowered from the monitoring room.

"You...... "When Zilin approached, Professor Tang wanted to say something, but as soon as he said a word, he was stabbed in the waist by Zilin who suddenly took out an electric baton............ It was not until he fainted that Zilin turned off the switch.

…………

Fifteen minutes later, Professor Tang woke up from a brief coma and found himself strapped to the "treatment bed" in his secret room.

And Zilin was standing on a table at this time, stretching out his arms and tinkering with something in the corner of the ceiling.

"You...... You said it...... No, ......," Professor Tang said vaguely.

Zilin's side was also just done, he put away his hands, jumped down from the table lightly, and continued: "Yes, I said, 'I will never kill you', aren't you still alive now?" ”

Professor Tang took a breath and said again with his still numb tongue, "You say...... I...... If I open the door myself...... Just ......"

"yes, I'm keeping my promises." Zilin said, "You see, I came in alone, right? And I'm really going to talk to you, and I'll leave when we're done. ”

"That'...... Why are you tying me up? When Professor Tang said this third sentence, he could finally say the whole thing.

"Heh......" Zilin smiled, "Of course it's for your safety." As he spoke, he pushed the "treatment instrument" next to the bed and began to wire Professor Tang.

"You! What are you doing! When Professor Tang saw this, he immediately screamed in shock.

"Because what I want to talk to you about, you may not be willing to say, even if you say it reluctantly...... It can also be adulterated, so it's best to use this machine to assist our conversation...... This will ensure that you tell everything you know and that what you say is true. Zilin continued.

"You untrustworthy bastard...... Uh-uh-uh...... "Professor Tang was about to curse the street, but his words were interrupted by the intense pain caused by a burst of electric shock.

"Hmm...... Is this how often you usually use 'treatment' for people......" After Zi Lin finished a wave of electricity, he read in a very relaxed tone, "I have to say, you half-people just can't do it...... It's obviously a very versatile instrument, but it's so rough to use, so let me teach you how big the gap is between Van Gogh and the third-rate community college art open class. ”

"Huh...... Huh...... You...... Do you know who my backer is? Professor Tang gasped and glared at Zi Lin viciously.

"Huh...... You're going to answer it......" Zilin chuckled twice, "Don't worry, there are quite a few things I have to ask, one by one." By the time he said this, he had quickly adjusted the indices on the device.

This attitude made Professor Tang furious: "Let me tell you, I don't care what your background is, you can't afford to provoke the forces behind me, if you dare to rectify me again...... Quack-uh-uh...... Ahhh......h

Another burst of electricity interrupted his intimidation.

The effect this time is different from the last time, and the intensity, wave type, phase, frequency, etc., have been adjusted...... was stunned and made Uncle Tang's lungs electrify a burning sensation.

"Hmm...... Yes, the readings are quite accurate. After finishing this wave, Zilin muttered, looking ...... "It's time to ......officially come," he said, picking up a vice from the table, cutting the heads of a few wires on the treatment device, and then "clamping" a few pieces of metal into the shape of a clip, and then ...... began to untie Professor Tang's clothes and pants, "Which question should I start asking...... Well...... Let's ask a simple one first......" He paused maliciously, waited a few seconds, and asked with a smile, "What do you think...... This is a 'conversation'...... Or are you 'fixing you'? ”

…………

November 25, evening, 18:15.

Zilin's "conversation" with Professor Tang has come to an end.

Zilin was convinced that he had asked everything he wanted to ask, and even those he didn't want to know knew a lot.

However, he was still not in a good mood.

Because ...... "faceless" ran away, and it ran away right under his nose.

Zilin's companion had sent a message in the afternoon, and after examination, among the "patients" who were controlled by the nanomechanical virus, there was no faceless ...... It can be ruled out that he pretended to be controlled and blended in with the crowd.

Besides, among the dead prison eunuchs, there must be no facelessness, because it is impossible for faceless to be suppressed by a few ordinary people.

And Professor Tang...... Zilin asked on this day, if yes, he would have been goofed a long time ago.

As for Xian Xiaoxiao and Kageori, who escaped the night before, they are both capable people, and Faceless can only disguise their appearance, but their abilities cannot be imitated, so they are impossible.

So, who else?

After thinking about it, Zilin found that ...... There is one less uncle who watches the door.

Yes, the answer is that simple, but it makes sense.

Why did Zilin observe the center for several days and found no suspicious people? Because they don't work in the center at all, they stay in the concierge every day......

Since he was eating a boxed lunch that he brought, he didn't know anything about the nanomechanical virus; And since the gate of this center is closed at night, and the porter doesn't have to work the night shift, he doesn't have a chance to bump into Kageori and Xian Xiaoxiao escaping.

But before the accident this morning, Faceless obviously noticed something unusual, and eighty percent of Zilin's accomplices who were responsible for supporting outside were exposed...... So, Faceless changed into a passerby, and ran away after strolling.

"Alas...... This was all run away by him, and I didn't know how I would be ridiculed by 'that guy' when I went back......" When he ended the "conversation" with Uncle Tang, Zilin was thinking about it in his heart.

However, he is not the kind of person who will dwell too much on what has already passed. Even if one of the two things he came to do this time failed, he would still finish the other thing properly.

Before leaving the secret room, Zilin first looked back at Professor Tang, who was still unconscious, and then walked to the middle of the room, raised his head, looked at the ultra-miniature camera he had installed in the corner of the ceiling in the morning, and said a few words.

With that, he walked out and ...... Keep the door of the chamber open.

Soon after, the blockade on the building's communications was lifted, and the local police, almost at the same time, received a call from the police.

…………

Evening, 6:36 p.m.,

A police motorcycle came to the door of the "Sunshine Youth Behavior Modification Center......
